Speaker 4 (02:06):
Yeah, but this is our first year, so we're getting

Speaker 3 (02:14):
So it's all work on your blower dot com. That's
where you can find dot biz. It's dot biz.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Oh there's another Vegas joke in there.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
So I'll work on your Is there an a pot? No,

on your blower because you can't put an apostrophe in it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Side that you cannot use special characters. That's kind of nuts.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
So ill work on your blower dot com? Yes, yeah, okay,
for Zach, there are people that are trying to find that.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Rightly describes the work you get to ill work. Well,
I turned it down and it started pushing snow back
on the ground. I'm not sure what that zack briboard
didn't do it when I've turned the engine off and
hummed a tune.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Have you just on a side note, yes, have you
ever used a snowblower?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yes? Okay, actually I have one. I bought a battery
powered snowblower and they were forty volte lithium batteries. Used
it last winter. Went to use it. Only one of
the batteries is charging, so it doesn't blow very far,
so it's not do I gotta Yeah, it's forty bucks
to replace the battery, but I got to order new
batteries for it. It made it through one winter, and
we didn't have much of a winter last year. But
(03:34):
aside from that little looks, I lord it.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Forty dollars is a great That's not very much to
get it to blow harder. That is not a lot
of money as far as investing.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I just wish it would have made it through more
than one winter before I needed that. Oh was it
brand new or what? How did it stop working age?
I don't know. We didn't have much snow I used
it two or three times last year and that was it.
And uh yeah, I was kind of disappointed with the battery.
Wouldn't charge?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Can you swing the the part that blows it out?
Can you move that around?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
And changed?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
No matter what I do, no matter which way I
angle that, the wind will blow it in my.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Face face a great time.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yes, it's just like, wait a minute, I switched directions.
Tell us it still blowing it in my face? What's
going on here?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
The snow there my friend is blowing in the wind.
Uh yeah. It's no matter which way you go, which
way the wind's coming. It doesn't matter if there's no
wind at all, if the snowblower is not running, it
will still blow the snow in your face. It's just
a rule.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
So while we were gone, God love and bless his heart,
Stone says to me. He sent me a text, Dad,
I'm working on the driveway. He's out there with shovel.
Because my wife was like, do you want me to
get the snow?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
No, no, I was out of town. I'm like, no, no, please,
don't do anything. Leave that where it is, Do not
mess with that. Wow. Now he's out there, and he
sent me.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
He sent me a note, and he's like, I'm working
on and then the other day I go, how about that.
I wasn't back yet. I was traveling tuesday, and I said,
how about you getting a two hour delay?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Buddy?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
How about that? He goes, Yeah, I'm actually outside right now.
I'm working on the driveway before I.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Go to school. And I almost started crying. I was like,
what new Xbox game does this kid want? We get
it right now.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I did come in and from my trip and I
did hand him money.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I'll be honest, that's good.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I handed him money and said thank you for working
on the driveway.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Now. He wasn't looking for that, right, He labored, and
you just showed appreciation. It wasn't like he's working for
dud my grandson. I told you, my grandson doesn't understand.
He went out. He weighed forty bucks in my face.
When I came home from work night before last. Forty Look, Papaul,
look what I did. I said, Hey, man, what George?
You get all that money? He goes, I shoveled snow
and I was very proud of him. Man, that's amazing.
This morning I wake up, he goes, could I get
two quarters for school?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Well?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Wait a minute, Hang on, you just had forty dollars.
Why do you need two quarters? My teacher has a
gumball machine. Like then you asked Paul Paul for change
for a dollar. You don't come up. We drove a
hard bargain, Grandpa. I mean, come on, you went out
and made forty dollars shovel in snow. That's this is life.
I might as well prep you for life. You have it,
but you're not. You don't own your money. You just you.
(06:03):
You're providing shelter for it. For a moment.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
You want to hear something sweet, then even sweeter. We
So we go to dinner Tuesday night. I get back
and we go to dinner. And after going to dinner,
my wife's like, you know, your son was wearing those
boots that are too big for him, that were hers.
He was wearing them while he was sledding with kids
in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I love your son.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
And I said, wait a minute, and she goes, he
doesn't have anything that fits him, and I go, oh, man,
I'm not going to win out of the Year award
with this. So we go to dinner. After dinner, I go,
let's go get you some boots. He's all happy, right,
I'm like, let's get you some boots.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
We go in there.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
He goes, I got that money you gave me that
I can put in on for the boot. I said, son, no,
I'm going to buy you. But I swear he's completely eleven.
He's eleven.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Man.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Need to be so very proud, seriously right now. I
am until I bust him looking at pouring on his phone.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Then I'll be.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Then I'll be like, hey, what's wrong with you? Hopefully
that will never happen.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Hay, you know it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Well, the thing is with Apple, you can lock them
down pretty good.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
But yeah, but you whear where else can you lock
them down? You know, they get past the surgeons in
the school, They get him past the library somehow somewhere. Yeah.
But I am proud of him, right. And you know
when we were, when we were in our teens, you
had Playboy magazines. You know, we all were. You know,
I was the guy on the cable TV. I hit
the paper clips behind my ear so I could jam
the cable box. Oh yeah. People used to have me
come over after school. It's that's part of growing up.
(07:26):
That was Chuck's side hustle. That was my side hustle.
He was able to get around the squiggly pour in
the show, and it was just we all go through
that team. The thing of it is is to get
through that TV period and that's going to stay like
that the rest of your life.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
The biggest problem is you you know who in this
day and age. I mean, yeah, certainly it's readily available.
You can google boobs and boom, there they are. But
the problem is it's not just the I mean that
curiosity clearly exists with kids that age. But then when now,
because of the way the Internet is set up, the
(08:01):
rabbit holes, all of a sudden those are attached to
a man or attached to it.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Oh yeah. In other words, when you looked.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
At a playboy back in the day, there were just
women in that Boom period, end of story, just women.
And there wasn't any acts, if you will going out,
There wasn't any of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
But you Hefner could tell if you turned a page.
Yes he knew. There was some way he knew, even
from the Hefner estate.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yes, which was tough to do with one hand. But anyway, no,
so I will say too with him. He is a
good kid, but he did bring He did say that
to me, and my heart melted.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I was like, dude, I love Him's his birthday?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I said, no, November twenty nine, he just turned eleven.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yet I missed his birthday. Yeah, I want to get
him something. He's not even my kid. I want to
get him a present, just because I'm so impressed with
what you're telling me. Your dad, let me help with
my boots. Now, that is awesome. He's being legit man.
And I was like, no, dude, no.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Anyway, so I was gonna say all this side hustle
stuff like so now it looks like you, uh, you're
going to be.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
You're going to be predicting the future. This was some
scary stuff. Tell me about. I'm dreaming, and I usually
don't remember my dreams because I'm a guy, you know.
I wake up and whatever I was dreaming is gone.
When I do remember them, I'm like, wow, that must
have meant something. I was dealing with something subconsciously this morning.
I wake up. The last thing I remember from the
(09:26):
dream I was having is that I was on the
phone to nine one one because I had watched somebody
get hit by a car, like a hit and run
in your dream. In my dream over on West broad
Street at the seventy entrance ramp by what used to
be Glenwood Park and now is apparently a homeless camp.
But I was I was calling nine to one one
and trying to make them understand what was going on,
(09:48):
and the woman wouldn't listen to the details of what happened.
She's good, Sarah, what is your emergency? I'm trying to
tell you. That was the argument I was having, And
then I woke up. So then like three hours later,
I've got the cry mapp on my phone and I
get to and police and emergency crewis responding to apparently
somebody hit and run on Broad Street at the seventy
entrance ramped out by Glenyn Park.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
So three hours prior you had that dreamed it you
dreamed it exactly?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Weird? Yes, can you dream that I'm going to hit
the lottery? Please?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
After I dream that I have hair, I'm gonna dream
that dream I have hair too. Since we're at it,
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I went to bed and I woke up and it
was a pro Yeah, that would be so cool. That
would be so cool.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Zach you anything you'd like him to dream for you
so it could come true. It sounds like what Chuck's
dreaming is coming true.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
To get a little bit of height, a little bit
of hype, be taller, you know what. Throw that in
there for me too.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You want to be a little taller, I'd like more hair,
more hair, and a little taller. Okay, And I'm not
talking like Gronk tall. I don't need to be six seven.
Give me the six foot okay, I'm good with that.
That's average. Are you the same height you were in
high school?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Basically? See, I'm not maybe almost three quarters of an
inch of height since high school. I think I'm a
little bit shorter. Children do this to you. I'm sure.
I think I was six ' three when I got
out of high school. I am now six two and
a quarter. Yeah, it's I don't know how that happens.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
So you continue shrinking, your ears continue growing as you
get older.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
From that is really unfair. I mean, if something's going
to keep growing your whole life, that your ears really shouldn't.
You shouldn't your skull, your brain expand you get smarter,
you get get that. See there's another Las Vegas. Look
on your face. Stop thinking that way. I'm thinking positive stuff,
and you automatically went back to heavener.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I'm thinking, uh, yeah, the ears grow, and most of
us the belly grows. Unfortunately, it's like, can we get
something else to grow? Yeah, I just something more important
of all the things. And your nose, your nose gets bigger.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah. As you get older, I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
And the hair starts. I mean it gets to the
point if I didn't keep control of the ear hair,
I could comb over.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I could do a comb over everywhere but your head.
The hair continues to grow. Madness. It's madness.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
My teeth are hairy at this point. You get him
everywhere but the top.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You know, News, traffic, weather, sports, and the Mark Blazer
Show on six ' ten wtvn.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
CBJ on a Whole Ice Tonight, the eighteen seventeen and
six CBJ By the way, uh taking on the seventeen
twenty one and three Seattle Kracking tonight on nation Wide
Arena Ice Chief.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Meteorologist Marshall mcpee joining us.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Now, Marshall, we could actually have that game outside and
the ice would not Well, it actually might in this
sunshine though there might be some meltage, right.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, the sun's been great for that today. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
So, but the temperature clearly will hold as far as
in the shade. You're not really getting any melting because
of you know, you're not kidding.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Eight degrees in the shade its exact. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
In the summer, we're like, yeah, it's one hundred and
fifty degrees in the shade.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Wow, man, the sun is melting snow in my neighborhood
because the lazy s neighbors are finally doing the sidewalks.
It's like, oh, it's half gone already. I'll go out
here and shovel with snow. It's gone, man, Why bother?
Let the sun finish it off, right exactly.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
We're going to add more to that though. Here it comes,
so be ready tonight, cold eight degrees, lots.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Of clouds on the way. Thank goodness for the clouds.
Otherwise of getting even colder.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Friday, we have a winter weather Advisory that goes into
effect from midday until Saturday morning. And that is because
some scattered snow showers will start moving in and they'll
become a little bit more widespread during the late afternoon
and evening. You'll probably have a slippery afternoon commute tomorrow,
the high around twenty five, snow moving in. It'll take
(13:54):
through the overnight hours and we'll end up with two
to four on the ground by Saturday morning, and then
Saturday afternoon it's just cloudy and breezy.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Sunday. I have twenty nine. Another chance of snow on Monday.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
All right, thank you, Marshall. Twenty six Right now, Chuck,
I think we possibly are going to live.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Forever, forever, forever and ever. I don't know if I
like the sound of that. I don't know where my
knees are at this point.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Oh yeah, you'll have to, Yeah, you'll have to trade
those in for a new set if we keep going
for too long, because you know, the living forever doesn't
mean that everything on you is not gonna wear out.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Jeff Douglas a man barely alive. We can rebuild him.
We have the technology. But today's prices, I'd be like
the six trillion dollars.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Exactly because it was six million with Lee Majors back
in the day. It's six cut trillion. What's next after trillion?
Out trillion, quadrillion, quadrille, it's six quadrillion maybe, and after
after quadrillion is it doesn't matter because we're done if
we if we get to that point. Now I did
put on the show sheet, Zach. You're more than welcome
to join us if you would like to. But what
(15:00):
it's going to require is you beginning to drink a
lot more coffee, because according to this Yes, it's another
one of those stories, the update on coffee drinking. Sometimes
you read these throughout history and it equals you're probably gonna.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Die in early death. Yeah, you drink it too much coffee.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
So now excuse me, morning coffee linked to lower risk
of early death. We may just lit between you and I.
We drink a lot of coffee. We really do, you
more than I. I believe you don't stop drinking it
from the time you get up to the time you
go to bed.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Almost we chuck Douglas. Translated into South American languages is
wan valdezz yep. That makes sense. That makes sense. I'm
a coffee fanatic. I keep there's this big cup is
next to my bed at night, I go to sleep
drinking coffee. Do you really? Yes? I do? Wow? So
what do you do to wake up? I drink more coffee? Yeah,
but that seems like.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Because you develop a tolerance.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Why I drink so much because it takes, you know,
ten times as much for me to get the same
thing you get out of what you get. I need
ten times that to get the same thing. Do you
do you? Uh? Do you drink espresso?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Do you add that espresso? Shot? I do? Okay, coffee?
I got a question. Yeah, is it just coffee or
is it caffeine? In general?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
So it says coffee, it reads coffee in this and
I know you really don't drink coffee.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
No, but I can change that. I do drink a
lot of caffeine though.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
You know what, So does that al eight have a
lot of caffeine or no? It has none? Or does it?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, yah, yeah it's all caffeine. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I get headaches really bad if I don't drink caffeine.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Okay, so you're you're full on addicted. What about the uh?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah no, I I well no, you know what I mean,
Let's face it, If it's coffee that's at the nucleus
of the lower risk of early death, then I would
think caffeine kind of has to be connected to that.
Researchers found that your daily caffeine fix could actually help
you stay alive longer, but only for those who drink
coffee in the morning, not.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
All day long. Oh well, then I'm shedding her on
the phone. Yet if the reverse is true for the
all day long people, I actually died in nineteen ninety three.
You're not even this is fake? You're I'm ay. I
we gut at Bernie's. But with talking? Wouldn't it be
funny if I was the weekend in Bernie's guy? Just
(17:30):
make sure you use cool sunglasses. Don't get me goofy sunglasses. Please,
those round John Lennon looking things that he wore. And
I want some Torminata glasses, cool cross like that?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Oh who was that? Andrew McCarthy And I'm trying to
think who the stars.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Cannot remember the guy who played Bernie. All I know
I remember because he played a comic in Hill Street
Blues that couldn't get comedian gigs because his name was
Vic Hitler. That I'd think kind of fun. That's the
only thing. I don't know his real name though.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
His name is Terry Who's Kozer?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Terry Koser? Okay, Jonathan Silverman, and Andrew.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
McCarthy Jonathan Silverman was the other one. Yeah, trying to remember.
That's a funny movie.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Study shows morning coffee drinkers thirty one percent less likely
to die of cardiovascular disease have a sixteen percent lower
risk of premature death from any cause.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
So coffee is a a preservative. What is happening? What
can't it do? I know that's it, man, that's that's
kind of cool. But see again tomorrow. We'll have another
story that says coffee will kill you, and that's it.
And if you drink coffee with a glass of red
wine every day, this will happen. I just there's always
(18:42):
When I was a kid, the worst story I'd ever heard,
nineteen seventy two, nineteen seventy three, I remember the radio
coming on. My dad, of course, was listening to six
to n WTV, and news comes on because fears that
bacon causes cancer. Dad was like, because he ate a
lot of it, just hit the table. Yeah, can't be true, man,
(19:03):
worst news ever into this day. I mean, that's that
makes me laugh. Bacon causes cancer and will be out
of gasoline by the year two thousand.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
So I like the segue there with the bacon because
on a more serious note to follow up, and I
don't know, did you talk about this last night on
the Power Hour. I don't think you did, because I
was listening on the way home. But the potascalal woman,
Oh no, she died from blood loss. Here's the headline,
(19:30):
after being mauled by pigs.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I mean, the story is incredibly bizarre, to say the least.
And I don't there's nothing clearly, no jokes, nothing funny
about this, but it is a It is one of
those stories that makes you scratch your head. I was unaware,
so I was aware that what movie was it? There
(19:55):
was a movie where they they did that with people,
they would feed them to because though, but those were
I would think those are those pigs were kind of
like bread for that, if you will, for lack of
a better term.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
And the people were turned into essentially pig food. They weren't.
They weren't actual human beings on the ground, which is
that I'd never heard of that. That's why I did
a couple of nights ago, we talked a little bit
about it. I never heard of pigs being vicious to
the point where they would attack a human being, an
intact person. I mean, that just seems so crazy to me.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
So from what I understand, it's they the wild pigs
are going to be more aggressive in that area, but
the more domesticated pigs are not like that from what
I understand. But again, it's not like I've raised any
or been around. Yeah, you know, I only know what
people were saying. The other night, I had a few
(20:51):
people call up that had farm experience and so forth,
and they said that, you know, pigs can be very evil,
even pigs on a farm. We talked a bit about
wild boars too, which are apparently a big problem in
Texas and even some parts, I guess of the southern
Ohio Kentucky area. They've got some bores which are a
completely different beast, even though they are of the same family.
I guess they are just they are violent, violent, dangerous things.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yeah, but very aggressive. Yeah, I guess. I guess. You know,
domesticated pigs on hogs on farms can can be quite
dangerous too, and I'd never known that before.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So, yeah, there's there's a couple of different And this
was the article on the Dispatch. A deputy coroner chief
forenic pathologist told the Dispatch that she died from blood
loss because of extensive superficial wounds on her legs. She
underwent heart surgery earlier in the year, was on blood thinners,
(21:48):
so her blood loss was because of the blood thinners
in part. So what that does is, you know, obviously
blood thinners thins your blood. So you get something that's
not being controlled and you start blo it will it
will bleed more vigorously if you will. And so anyway,
she continued to bleed. She was unable to form clots
(22:09):
stop the bleeding because she was on those blood thinners.
That those that type of medicine is very I remember
when I did my knee, I had my knee worked on.
It was very, very very serious. The way they said,
you know you if you're taking aspirin or I mean
there were It was very extensive. The way that they
(22:31):
questioned me on that. So those blood thinners are no joke.
I mean, you you get something like that. The lower
extremities were injured, and that had she been upright and
alive before being knocked down by the pigs. This was
according to some of the couple you know people that
were in this article saying the pigs had partially they
(22:55):
had partially consumed her.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
And it's just heartbreaking to see this.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
And I I keep I'm nervous talking about it because
I don't want to seem irreverent about it.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
But it's this is part of an article that was
in the Dispatch. There's an obvious interest there because it
is so unusual. You don't want to come across as
morbid or even calf or anything like that. And you know,
God knows all we can do is say, dear family
of this woman, we are so so similary sorry for
what you're going through. It's bad enough when somebody dies
(23:29):
dies supposed to be visiting other family members on Christmas.
Is when she apparently fell. They've got to be heartbroken.
Such a bizarre story. There's no way that we cannot
pay attention to this story. It's part of what's going on. Yeah,
it is. It's incredibly sad, no question.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
We got people that are on hold now, multiple people,
which we'll get to. Your calls coming up here, So
stand by, fuck pleaser show you got some phones on hold,
We'll get to those calls. Your calls criminal us on
(24:09):
the Legacy Retirement Group dot Com phone Lines. California wildfire
disaster plans from the White House to the Pentagon.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
And let's bring on from the ABC News State Department.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Her correspondent the State Department, Shannon Kingston, joining us now
and Shannon, welcome to the show.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
So what are we looking at here? What have we got?
Speaker 8 (24:31):
The Pentagon is already surging assets to fight the inferno
in southern California. That's standing by, ready to send even
more sexy Vloydolph Instead. They're in a press conference in
Germany that there's been few requests from California so far,
but the Pentagon has a lot more capability that can
be deployed. The major rate limiting step here is the
(24:51):
high wind sweeping through southern California. That's grounding military and
civilian aircraft that are used to fight fire from abou
It's also, of course, contributing to the spread of a fire.
Those winds are expected to get even worse this evening.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yeah, when you look at this whole situation, and certainly
most of America, I would imagine, has been watching over
these last couple of days, and you see where fires
are jumping across big you know, drive streets, if you will,
concrete streets and so on, Where the fires are jumping
that because of the winds and so on, and it
just looks like as you watch this the footage of it,
(25:28):
it looks like there is no stopping this.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
It is.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
It's crazy that they can't get it under control, and
certainly the conditions are part of that or what have you.
So hopefully something like this they can get this stuff
into and with those conditions, like the wind conditions you
kind of mentioned there, you can't really use aircraft and
so on.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
It becomes too dangerous for them.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
It seems like that's right, And as of this morning,
a lot of the major fires were at zero percent containment,
So it really shows you what these firefighters are up against.
A potential change would be if modular air firefighting systems
they're called NAFF are able to be deployed and actually
be used effectively and over and over again, get consistently,
(26:13):
because what these are, these are these systems that can
convert C one thirties into basically you know, a fire
trucks in the sky. They're able to draw fire, retard
it on large areas and you know, make a difference
bringing that zero percent up. But with the wind sweeping,
it's hard for anybody to predict whether they're going to.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Be able to be used.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
So that's something that they are looking at and kind
of almost having out the ready if the conditions will
warrant that they will begin using that. And it sounds
like something like that of that magnitude could start to
maybe kind of get a handle on this because I'm
seeing that too, Shannon, Like, when I'm watching the news,
I'll see zero percent containment and they'll show, you know,
(26:54):
a specific it'll be a live shot of some and
I'm just like, every single live shot says zero percent containment.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I'm like, oh my gosh. There.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
They can't get this under control, and it feels like
it's going to burn the whole state up.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
It's bizarre, right, and the federal authorities are they are
doing with their kin. They're trying. There are helicopters that
have been deployed with water buckets, but a fire of
this magnitude those water buckets there really is like a
drop in the bucket because they're just not doing enough
to make a difference. So really getting those major assets out,
but there are manpower problems of course. Two that the
(27:28):
US military is looking to back up. They have deployed
about two hundred guardsmen. And these are not just you know,
any guardsmen. These are guardsmen who serve on highly trained
teams that work with cal Fire as part of Task
Force Rattlesnink, especially trained two eliminate fires like these, as
well as four hundred military policemen, and they can help
(27:49):
with anything from evacuations to maintaining law and order through
California as they deal with this emergency.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Yeah, I'm seeing there's like looters unfortunately becoming part of
this story as well.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Well.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Then kind of to what you were just talking about, Shannon,
I saw. I believe Nevada and Arizona, maybe even another
state that maybe Idaho, I can't remember exactly. They named
some states where there were there's help coming of the
fire fighters men and women in that in that aspect
that we're going to be coming and hopefully helping here
(28:21):
giving some relief with I'm sure very exhausted firefighters in
that area.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
That's right, And a.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
Lot of the seats have received help from California firefighters
in the past, because you know, really cal Fire is
the top of its game when it comes to combating fire,
big fires like these, and that's because California unfortunately has
so much experience, you know in dealing with this, but
an urban area like this and just the absolute magnitude,
you know, it's something that many of these firefighters have
(28:50):
just never seen something that compares to it.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah, very good.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Shannon Kingston, ABC News State Department correspondent, thank you very
much for the latest time this. Appreciate you. All right,
we'll see it. Yeah, watching this whole thing. Also, did
you see and I don't have it right in front
of me, but there were you know, you start breaking
down what kind of money was taken away from fire
(29:17):
in the state of California and given to what preserving?
What kind of fish was like the smell smelts? Yes, yeah,
smelt so so you saw that to you familiar with.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Also Los Angeles, the City of Los Angeles, their new
budget just eliminated seventeen point six million dollars from the
fire department while allocating extra money like fourteen point six
more in the budget for I think the library system ercently. Yeah,
I know.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Yeah, well did you so you see the post and
immediately when you see a post like from from President
elect Trump, you see a post about how Gavin Newsom
is at the he's at the unfortunately at the nucleus
of this problem that is happening. Did you see when
he was on with Rogan that was obviously before the election,
(30:09):
that he was talking about this and the problems that
exist in the state of California.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
People are speculating.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Who wasn't It was Henry Winkler who said, didn't he
say something?
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yes, I mean people are speculating because they're going the
Hollywood Hills now have who did you see some of.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
The where is that? Where did that go? Oh?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Some of the celebrities there, Holmes reduced to ash Adam
Brody and Leyton Measter, Anna Farris, Billy Crystal, Eugene Levy Man.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I love Eugene Levy.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I love that guy, John Goodman, Paris Hilton, Lost Holmes,
James Woods, Mark Hamill.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
That's the one. I heard his story and talking about
the little niece or whatever offering her piggy bank to
help him rebuild, and that just that got me, Missy,
It really did that. I mean, I'm sure that whatever
insurance is illegal to have in California, they've got and
they've got plenty of money, but still your life, you know,
(31:12):
your Academy Awards. I mean, he said, whatever, all that
kind of stuff, man, that's that's your history, and it's
burnt to the ground, and that's that's just got to
tear the heart out of you, no matter how many
resources you have at your disposal.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I was even having a conversation this morning, you know,
Josephine was sitting there with me when I was kind
of looking over stuff getting ready for the day, and
you know what we're going to talk about, and all that.
She goes, You know, Dad, though they have a lot
of money. I said, let me stop you right there.
I said, honey, think about this. Let's say that we
were rich and our house burned down. Would you feel
(31:47):
better because we have money? I said, think about Look
over there on the bookshelf. See those pictures are you
and your brother, See the pictures of Jasmine, See the
pictures of you know, all of our different family loved
ones and all that gone. Think about all those ornaments
that we've collected amassed over the years for our tree,
and how special those are made. You and Stone made those.
(32:10):
When you're growing up little kids, you're making ornaments out
of popsicle sticks and gluing them and writing Merry Christmas
and I love you Mom, and I love you Dad
and all of this. Now, you know, these people are
no different. Yeah, they have a few more zeros in
their bank at the end of their bank account numbers,
but look, they're losing everything.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
And you know, look, you got to set politics aside.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
People even if they're mean or they hate Trump or
they hate people who support Trump or whatever, and we're
all human first. And I know we kind of talked
about a little bit yesterday, but when you look at
this list, and this is just a short list, I
would imagine there are a lot more celebs who have
loved When you start talking about the Hollywood Hills, that's
where most of them live.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
And it's really sad the way that this is unfortunately
playing out. And the insurance companies, if they're covering them
for anything, I guarantee you insurance companies will be in
backing out even more than they already have in the
state of California because there's nothing out there that's not
at least six million dollars. Oh, I know, so the
payout is going to be extreme. Well, and they were.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
I saw an article a little bit ago that said,
like a few months ago, State Farm had canceled a
bunch of that insurance on these people. Yeah, man, they
canceled it. I don't know what was behind that. That's
just the headline. And I didn't click to read the story,
but saw that as a as a headline. Hey, Chris,
welcome to the show. What do you think about you
got something in the wildfires?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (33:39):
Yeah? Hey, Mark, thanks so a ton for taking my call.
I appreciate it. You are a true patriot.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Well, thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (33:49):
Yeah, these wildfires going on, Mark, this, I'm calling this
out for what it is. This is Democrat policy and
implementay and on full display. What's going on right now
in California. This is what it looks like America. How
does it look not so hot? From where I sit?
(34:12):
This is just ridiculous. They could they had no water
in the fire hydrants for these men to work crazy. Yeah,
it's just awful. And Mark, you're a powerful voice, and
this is the time to come together and get these
(34:33):
people taken care of. But realize there's nothing wrong with
calling out that. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, is in charge.
He's the head of the state. And then this other
lady the mayor who just came back into town. She's
a full on Marxist. She's buddies with Castro, Fidel Castro.
(34:57):
She was going over there taking lessons from him. This
is what it looks like, America. How's it look if
you fly over the place, it looks like you're flying
into hell. Yeah, that's what they wanted the whole country.
Can you imagine? Ark, Thank you so much for the
people for the way we did, because we've got to
(35:19):
go a different direction. This is incompetencies of the Democrats
that are just ruining our country. And I'm not trying
to make it political whether no matter what side of
this you're on, right or left, you got to look
at this and see that it's not right and it
was totally preventable.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Yeah, you're right, Chris.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Look there's no getting around the leadership of that state
dropped the ball. There is no question about that, one
hundred percent. I just hope they're able to somehow pick
up the pieces and learn and think about how long
it's going to take to rebuild any of those any
of those structures, any of this they're talking. Yeah, I'm
(35:59):
sure they're approaching, you know, obviously several hundred with one
thousands maybe.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Even what'd you say, I said, I wouldn't what rebuild? Yeah,
out there to your potential earthquakes, the politics crazy right,
the forest fires and all that kind of stuff. Yeah,
California is not nearly as appealing as it might have
been thirty years ago. Yeah, yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
It'll be interesting, but there will be some clearly that
that will do that if they could even somehow figure
it out.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Laser Show podcasts on six ' ten WTV dot com.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
All right, so we do have a winter weather advisory
going into effects tomorrow. That is, Chief Meteorologist Marshall McPeak
is joining us now. So Marshall, this uh, this winter
weather advisory. I like in the forecast it was shovellable
snow making services hazardous.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Again, here we go, Here we go. It's winter in Ohio,
So here we go.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
It's been a while since we've had a winter with
some on and off decent snow, and this is going.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
To be one of them, apparently.
Speaker 6 (37:06):
So the winter weather advisory starts for tomorrow afternoon to
last through Saturday morning. The snow moves in and it'll
probably get going enough for the afternoon commute, you may
have some slick spots, and then it continues in the
evening at over night hours. So two to four on
the ground by Saturday morning. So we'll spend part of
the day Saturday shoveling out from that, and then Sunday
(37:28):
we get some sunshine with a high year twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
In the meantime, right now, we're watching.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
What's going on in Dallas and a lot of Buckeyes
and Buckeye fans are headed toward Dallas for the Cotton Bowl,
and right now radar.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
It's really kind of incredible.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
Every single possible color that radar has available is on.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
The screen at once. In Dallas.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
There is rain, there is snow, There is heavy rain,
there is freezing rain, there is heavy snow, light snow flurry.
It's all happening in Dallas right now.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
It is a mess, crazy.
Speaker 6 (38:03):
So if you if you're if you know anybody headed
that way, definitely make sure to check with the airline
before you go. We're already seeing all kinds of delays
and cancelations and it's a mess down there. It'll be
finished long before game time. They should have at least
a good ten to twelve hours to try to get
things cleaned up before the game starts. So fingers crossed
they can get it done. The different system that gets
(38:26):
to us is going to be Friday night into Saturday.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
All right, Marshall, thank you. It is twenty five right now.
Thank you for listening. Mark Blazer, meteorologist friends in Dallas.
By chance, I don't because I would love to see
some video of what they're doing. You've got to be, well,
they don't have to deal with this kind of graph. Yeah,
they've got to be We don't just people just people
of Dallas run just run head for Houston.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Yeah, and they they're not. There's no infrastructure there. They're
not set up for this craziness that's happening. So and
then you think about people who are from that area
that live there. I don't know how many transplants there
are people that live in that area who have not
used to dealing with it. This is going to be
an absolute disaster. And I hope I'm wrong. I told Marshall.
(39:16):
In Texas, snow removal equipment is called July. You know,
It's not like they're going to have a bunch of
plow trucks and stuff there. They could get They'll be
in the they could be in the mid and upper nineties,
even into September and October there. Man, it's crazy. So
last night I was listening on the Power Hour. I
think you were talking about how the Queen your wife
(39:39):
was talking in her sleep.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
I haven't go back. I'm putting this.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Yeah, and to the point where you were like, she
it wasn't gibbering. It was in a language like she
was speaking. She sounded like she was speaking some some
weird hybrid Middle Eastern Spanish thing.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
It was. It was odd, and I mean, she was
really going at it. She was arguing with somebody in
another language, which you know when she argues with me
sometimes I feel like it's another language too. But still
the well.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
And then people started calling about, you know, types of
stuff that they do in their while while they're sleeping.
And there are certainly a lot of people who suffer
from well. I don't know if you call it suffer,
but they sleep walk. Did you ever sleep I'm not
a kid, I used to you did sleepwalk. You referenced
something where you had barely had any sleep, and you
(40:37):
ended up at the radio station because you were working
like a Madman.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
And you were like, I don't even remember how I
got it, dude, You remember how I was back in
the beginning. I was spinning records at Straight Zone at night,
and I get out of there at two thirty. Then
I went to work at the dispatch at three fifteen am,
and then I was out trying to handle business and
do things, and I just I was running on no
sleep at all, and half the time I'd get to
my destination, have no idea how I arrived.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Well, what's funny with that is a lot of people,
don't they say to themselves, there is no way that
people do complete fill in the blank while they're asleep
driving ending up at a destination in their homes cooking
whole meals, and there's a whole it's a whole thing,
and that is some sort of a medical could be
a medical issue that's going on there. Well, then somebody
(41:23):
calls in named Sarah, who called into the show and
started telling you about how I think it was either
he she or her sister would like do performances or whatever.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
And this is a clip from that last night.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
But what this did was it actually morphed into Zach
hitting on her basically.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
Man, I can't believe he did this. He started like
basically hitting on this. He's got You know that scene
in the Grinch cartoon when the Grinch does that evil smile.
That's what Zach did when she said, and I'm single,
and Zach just like the law Yes, yeah, anyway, this
is what it sounded like.
Speaker 5 (42:01):
Hit it, Zach, please, and my sister would give me
to sing songs and like put on performances for her,
like Reba McIntyre. That's the nice the lights went out
in Georgia, and I would like do a whole performance
for her and not remember it at all.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
Oh my gosh, you said, Reva McIntyre. So you are
under forty. I can tell that.
Speaker 5 (42:26):
See the night time, I am forty, exactly on the dot.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
See to my generation, that's a Vicky Lawrence song.
Speaker 5 (42:33):
But my mama looked like Reva.
Speaker 4 (42:35):
So well, okay, hang on, hang on what your forty
and your mom looked like Reva?
Speaker 5 (42:41):
I mean she still kind of does.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
And see now that you and Vicky Lawrence, which I mean.
Speaker 5 (42:46):
Seventy, but she's beatiful. She still got red bone hair, Like.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
Yeah, there are you single? Or would you quit hitting
on the call, but you're not, so what are you doing? No,
he's Zach. Zach is single, nobody wants him.
Speaker 5 (42:59):
Yeah, oh sorry, I thought Zach was married with kids.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
Hey are you doing row? Which is stop, Sarah? Don't
you let him get back tomorrow? An advanced cootie's case. Man,
you don't want anything to do with him. Thanks, man.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
That goes back to the ancient age of six TENAU
TV and back when I was a youngster listening to
the station and we used to do something called desperate
and dateless, And I felt like I was right back
in the middle of that. Hilarious hilarious.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
Definitely desperate and dateless describes Zach for sure.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Man, Oh wait, not the desperate part necessary she's going
out with him? She may be. I don't know, Zach's
giving us the one finger salute. How about that. I've
checked her out on her Facebook and she's she's a

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Oh there's another Vegas joke in there.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
So I'll work on your Is there an a pot? No,
there's no apostably, So it actually looks like ill work
on your blower because you can't put an apostrophe in it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Side that you cannot use special characters. That's kind of nuts.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
So ill work on your blower dot com? Yes, yeah, okay,
for Zach, there are people that are trying to find that.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Rightly describes the work you get to ill work. Well,
I turned it down and it started pushing snow back
on the ground. I'm not sure what that zack briboard
didn't do it when I've turned the engine off and
hummed a tune.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Have you just on a side note, yes, have you
ever used a snowblower?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yes? Okay, actually I have one. I bought a battery
powered snowblower and they were forty volte lithium batteries. Used
it last winter. Went to use it. Only one of
the batteries is charging, so it doesn't blow very far,
so it's not do I gotta Yeah, it's forty bucks
to replace the battery, but I got to order new
batteries for it. It made it through one winter, and
we didn't have much of a winter last year. But
(03:34):
aside from that little looks, I lord it.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Forty dollars is a great That's not very much to
get it to blow harder. That is not a lot
of money as far as investing.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I just wish it would have made it through more
than one winter before I needed that. Oh was it
brand new or what? How did it stop working age?
I don't know. We didn't have much snow I used
it two or three times last year and that was it.
And uh yeah, I was kind of disappointed with the battery.
Wouldn't charge?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Can you swing the the part that blows it out?
Can you move that around?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
And changed?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
No matter what I do, no matter which way I
angle that, the wind will blow it in my.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Face face a great time.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yes, it's just like, wait a minute, I switched directions.
Tell us it still blowing it in my face? What's
going on here?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
The snow there my friend is blowing in the wind.
Uh yeah. It's no matter which way you go, which
way the wind's coming. It doesn't matter if there's no
wind at all, if the snowblower is not running, it
will still blow the snow in your face. It's just
a rule.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
So while we were gone, God love and bless his heart,
Stone says to me. He sent me a text, Dad,
I'm working on the driveway. He's out there with shovel.
Because my wife was like, do you want me to
get the snow?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
No, no, I was out of town. I'm like, no, no, please,
don't do anything. Leave that where it is, Do not
mess with that. Wow. Now he's out there, and he
sent me.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
He sent me a note, and he's like, I'm working
on and then the other day I go, how about that.
I wasn't back yet. I was traveling tuesday, and I said,
how about you getting a two hour delay?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Buddy?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
How about that? He goes, Yeah, I'm actually outside right now.
I'm working on the driveway before I.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Go to school. And I almost started crying. I was like,
what new Xbox game does this kid want? We get
it right now.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I did come in and from my trip and I
did hand him money.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I'll be honest, that's good.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I handed him money and said thank you for working
on the driveway.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Now. He wasn't looking for that, right, He labored, and
you just showed appreciation. It wasn't like he's working for
dud my grandson. I told you, my grandson doesn't understand.
He went out. He weighed forty bucks in my face.
When I came home from work night before last. Forty Look, Papaul,
look what I did. I said, Hey, man, what George?
You get all that money? He goes, I shoveled snow
and I was very proud of him. Man, that's amazing.
This morning I wake up, he goes, could I get
two quarters for school?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Well?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Wait a minute, Hang on, you just had forty dollars.
Why do you need two quarters? My teacher has a
gumball machine. Like then you asked Paul Paul for change
for a dollar. You don't come up. We drove a
hard bargain, Grandpa. I mean, come on, you went out
and made forty dollars shovel in snow. That's this is life.
I might as well prep you for life. You have it,
but you're not. You don't own your money. You just you.
(06:03):
You're providing shelter for it. For a moment.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
You want to hear something sweet, then even sweeter. We
So we go to dinner Tuesday night. I get back
and we go to dinner. And after going to dinner,
my wife's like, you know, your son was wearing those
boots that are too big for him, that were hers.
He was wearing them while he was sledding with kids
in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I love your son.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
And I said, wait a minute, and she goes, he
doesn't have anything that fits him, and I go, oh, man,
I'm not going to win out of the Year award
with this. So we go to dinner. After dinner, I go,
let's go get you some boots. He's all happy, right,
I'm like, let's get you some boots.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
We go in there.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
He goes, I got that money you gave me that
I can put in on for the boot. I said, son, no,
I'm going to buy you. But I swear he's completely eleven.
He's eleven.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Man.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Need to be so very proud, seriously right now. I
am until I bust him looking at pouring on his phone.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Then I'll be.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Then I'll be like, hey, what's wrong with you? Hopefully
that will never happen.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Hay, you know it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Well, the thing is with Apple, you can lock them
down pretty good.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
But yeah, but you whear where else can you lock
them down? You know, they get past the surgeons in
the school, They get him past the library somehow somewhere. Yeah.
But I am proud of him, right. And you know
when we were, when we were in our teens, you
had Playboy magazines. You know, we all were. You know,
I was the guy on the cable TV. I hit
the paper clips behind my ear so I could jam
the cable box. Oh yeah. People used to have me
come over after school. It's that's part of growing up.
(07:26):
That was Chuck's side hustle. That was my side hustle.
He was able to get around the squiggly pour in
the show, and it was just we all go through
that team. The thing of it is is to get
through that TV period and that's going to stay like
that the rest of your life.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
The biggest problem is you you know who in this
day and age. I mean, yeah, certainly it's readily available.
You can google boobs and boom, there they are. But
the problem is it's not just the I mean that
curiosity clearly exists with kids that age. But then when now,
because of the way the Internet is set up, the
(08:01):
rabbit holes, all of a sudden those are attached to
a man or attached to it.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Oh yeah. In other words, when you looked.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
At a playboy back in the day, there were just
women in that Boom period, end of story, just women.
And there wasn't any acts, if you will going out,
There wasn't any of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
But you Hefner could tell if you turned a page.
Yes he knew. There was some way he knew, even
from the Hefner estate.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yes, which was tough to do with one hand. But anyway, no,
so I will say too with him. He is a
good kid, but he did bring He did say that
to me, and my heart melted.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I was like, dude, I love Him's his birthday?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I said, no, November twenty nine, he just turned eleven.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yet I missed his birthday. Yeah, I want to get
him something. He's not even my kid. I want to
get him a present, just because I'm so impressed with
what you're telling me. Your dad, let me help with
my boots. Now, that is awesome. He's being legit man.
And I was like, no, dude, no.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Anyway, so I was gonna say all this side hustle
stuff like so now it looks like you, uh, you're
going to be.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
You're going to be predicting the future. This was some
scary stuff. Tell me about. I'm dreaming, and I usually
don't remember my dreams because I'm a guy, you know.
I wake up and whatever I was dreaming is gone.
When I do remember them, I'm like, wow, that must
have meant something. I was dealing with something subconsciously this morning.
I wake up. The last thing I remember from the
(09:26):
dream I was having is that I was on the
phone to nine one one because I had watched somebody
get hit by a car, like a hit and run
in your dream. In my dream over on West broad
Street at the seventy entrance ramp by what used to
be Glenwood Park and now is apparently a homeless camp.
But I was I was calling nine to one one
and trying to make them understand what was going on,
(09:48):
and the woman wouldn't listen to the details of what happened.
She's good, Sarah, what is your emergency? I'm trying to
tell you. That was the argument I was having, And
then I woke up. So then like three hours later,
I've got the cry mapp on my phone and I
get to and police and emergency crewis responding to apparently
somebody hit and run on Broad Street at the seventy
entrance ramped out by Glenyn Park.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
So three hours prior you had that dreamed it you
dreamed it exactly?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Weird? Yes, can you dream that I'm going to hit
the lottery? Please?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
After I dream that I have hair, I'm gonna dream
that dream I have hair too. Since we're at it,
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I went to bed and I woke up and it
was a pro Yeah, that would be so cool. That
would be so cool.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Zach you anything you'd like him to dream for you
so it could come true. It sounds like what Chuck's
dreaming is coming true.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
To get a little bit of height, a little bit
of hype, be taller, you know what. Throw that in
there for me too.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You want to be a little taller, I'd like more hair,
more hair, and a little taller. Okay, And I'm not
talking like Gronk tall. I don't need to be six seven.
Give me the six foot okay, I'm good with that.
That's average. Are you the same height you were in
high school?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Basically? See, I'm not maybe almost three quarters of an
inch of height since high school. I think I'm a
little bit shorter. Children do this to you. I'm sure.
I think I was six ' three when I got
out of high school. I am now six two and
a quarter. Yeah, it's I don't know how that happens.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
So you continue shrinking, your ears continue growing as you
get older.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
From that is really unfair. I mean, if something's going
to keep growing your whole life, that your ears really shouldn't.
You shouldn't your skull, your brain expand you get smarter,
you get get that. See there's another Las Vegas. Look
on your face. Stop thinking that way. I'm thinking positive stuff,
and you automatically went back to heavener.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I'm thinking, uh, yeah, the ears grow, and most of
us the belly grows. Unfortunately, it's like, can we get
something else to grow? Yeah, I just something more important
of all the things. And your nose, your nose gets bigger.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah. As you get older, I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
And the hair starts. I mean it gets to the
point if I didn't keep control of the ear hair,
I could comb over.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I could do a comb over everywhere but your head.
The hair continues to grow. Madness. It's madness.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
My teeth are hairy at this point. You get him
everywhere but the top.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You know, News, traffic, weather, sports, and the Mark Blazer
Show on six ' ten wtvn.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
CBJ on a Whole Ice Tonight, the eighteen seventeen and
six CBJ By the way, uh taking on the seventeen
twenty one and three Seattle Kracking tonight on nation Wide
Arena Ice Chief.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Meteorologist Marshall mcpee joining us.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Now, Marshall, we could actually have that game outside and
the ice would not Well, it actually might in this
sunshine though there might be some meltage, right.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, the sun's been great for that today. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
So, but the temperature clearly will hold as far as
in the shade. You're not really getting any melting because
of you know, you're not kidding.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Eight degrees in the shade its exact. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
In the summer, we're like, yeah, it's one hundred and
fifty degrees in the shade.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Wow, man, the sun is melting snow in my neighborhood
because the lazy s neighbors are finally doing the sidewalks.
It's like, oh, it's half gone already. I'll go out
here and shovel with snow. It's gone, man, Why bother?
Let the sun finish it off, right exactly.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
We're going to add more to that though. Here it comes,
so be ready tonight, cold eight degrees, lots.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Of clouds on the way. Thank goodness for the clouds.
Otherwise of getting even colder.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Friday, we have a winter weather Advisory that goes into
effect from midday until Saturday morning. And that is because
some scattered snow showers will start moving in and they'll
become a little bit more widespread during the late afternoon
and evening. You'll probably have a slippery afternoon commute tomorrow,
the high around twenty five, snow moving in. It'll take
(13:54):
through the overnight hours and we'll end up with two
to four on the ground by Saturday morning, and then
Saturday afternoon it's just cloudy and breezy.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Sunday. I have twenty nine. Another chance of snow on Monday.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
All right, thank you, Marshall. Twenty six Right now, Chuck,
I think we possibly are going to live.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Forever, forever, forever and ever. I don't know if I
like the sound of that. I don't know where my
knees are at this point.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Oh yeah, you'll have to, Yeah, you'll have to trade
those in for a new set if we keep going
for too long, because you know, the living forever doesn't
mean that everything on you is not gonna wear out.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Jeff Douglas a man barely alive. We can rebuild him.
We have the technology. But today's prices, I'd be like
the six trillion dollars.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Exactly because it was six million with Lee Majors back
in the day. It's six cut trillion. What's next after trillion?
Out trillion, quadrillion, quadrille, it's six quadrillion maybe, and after
after quadrillion is it doesn't matter because we're done if
we if we get to that point. Now I did
put on the show sheet, Zach. You're more than welcome
to join us if you would like to. But what
(15:00):
it's going to require is you beginning to drink a
lot more coffee, because according to this Yes, it's another
one of those stories, the update on coffee drinking. Sometimes
you read these throughout history and it equals you're probably gonna.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Die in early death. Yeah, you drink it too much coffee.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
So now excuse me, morning coffee linked to lower risk
of early death. We may just lit between you and I.
We drink a lot of coffee. We really do, you
more than I. I believe you don't stop drinking it
from the time you get up to the time you
go to bed.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Almost we chuck Douglas. Translated into South American languages is
wan valdezz yep. That makes sense. That makes sense. I'm
a coffee fanatic. I keep there's this big cup is
next to my bed at night, I go to sleep
drinking coffee. Do you really? Yes? I do? Wow? So
what do you do to wake up? I drink more coffee? Yeah,
but that seems like.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Because you develop a tolerance.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Why I drink so much because it takes, you know,
ten times as much for me to get the same
thing you get out of what you get. I need
ten times that to get the same thing. Do you
do you? Uh? Do you drink espresso?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Do you add that espresso? Shot? I do? Okay, coffee?
I got a question. Yeah, is it just coffee or
is it caffeine? In general?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
So it says coffee, it reads coffee in this and
I know you really don't drink coffee.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
No, but I can change that. I do drink a
lot of caffeine though.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
You know what, So does that al eight have a
lot of caffeine or no? It has none? Or does it?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, yah, yeah it's all caffeine. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I get headaches really bad if I don't drink caffeine.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Okay, so you're you're full on addicted. What about the uh?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah no, I I well no, you know what I mean,
Let's face it, If it's coffee that's at the nucleus
of the lower risk of early death, then I would
think caffeine kind of has to be connected to that.
Researchers found that your daily caffeine fix could actually help
you stay alive longer, but only for those who drink
coffee in the morning, not.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
All day long. Oh well, then I'm shedding her on
the phone. Yet if the reverse is true for the
all day long people, I actually died in nineteen ninety three.
You're not even this is fake? You're I'm ay. I
we gut at Bernie's. But with talking? Wouldn't it be
funny if I was the weekend in Bernie's guy? Just
(17:30):
make sure you use cool sunglasses. Don't get me goofy sunglasses. Please,
those round John Lennon looking things that he wore. And
I want some Torminata glasses, cool cross like that?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Oh who was that? Andrew McCarthy And I'm trying to
think who the stars.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Cannot remember the guy who played Bernie. All I know
I remember because he played a comic in Hill Street
Blues that couldn't get comedian gigs because his name was
Vic Hitler. That I'd think kind of fun. That's the
only thing. I don't know his real name though.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
His name is Terry Who's Kozer?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Terry Koser? Okay, Jonathan Silverman, and Andrew.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
McCarthy Jonathan Silverman was the other one. Yeah, trying to remember.
That's a funny movie.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Study shows morning coffee drinkers thirty one percent less likely
to die of cardiovascular disease have a sixteen percent lower
risk of premature death from any cause.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
So coffee is a a preservative. What is happening? What
can't it do? I know that's it, man, that's that's
kind of cool. But see again tomorrow. We'll have another
story that says coffee will kill you, and that's it.
And if you drink coffee with a glass of red
wine every day, this will happen. I just there's always
(18:42):
When I was a kid, the worst story I'd ever heard,
nineteen seventy two, nineteen seventy three, I remember the radio
coming on. My dad, of course, was listening to six
to n WTV, and news comes on because fears that
bacon causes cancer. Dad was like, because he ate a
lot of it, just hit the table. Yeah, can't be true, man,
(19:03):
worst news ever into this day. I mean, that's that
makes me laugh. Bacon causes cancer and will be out
of gasoline by the year two thousand.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
So I like the segue there with the bacon because
on a more serious note to follow up, and I
don't know, did you talk about this last night on
the Power Hour. I don't think you did, because I
was listening on the way home. But the potascalal woman,
Oh no, she died from blood loss. Here's the headline,
(19:30):
after being mauled by pigs.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I mean, the story is incredibly bizarre, to say the least.
And I don't there's nothing clearly, no jokes, nothing funny
about this, but it is a It is one of
those stories that makes you scratch your head. I was unaware,
so I was aware that what movie was it? There
(19:55):
was a movie where they they did that with people,
they would feed them to because though, but those were
I would think those are those pigs were kind of
like bread for that, if you will, for lack of
a better term.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
And the people were turned into essentially pig food. They weren't.
They weren't actual human beings on the ground, which is
that I'd never heard of that. That's why I did
a couple of nights ago, we talked a little bit
about it. I never heard of pigs being vicious to
the point where they would attack a human being, an
intact person. I mean, that just seems so crazy to me.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
So from what I understand, it's they the wild pigs
are going to be more aggressive in that area, but
the more domesticated pigs are not like that from what
I understand. But again, it's not like I've raised any
or been around. Yeah, you know, I only know what
people were saying. The other night, I had a few
(20:51):
people call up that had farm experience and so forth,
and they said that, you know, pigs can be very evil,
even pigs on a farm. We talked a bit about
wild boars too, which are apparently a big problem in
Texas and even some parts, I guess of the southern
Ohio Kentucky area. They've got some bores which are a
completely different beast, even though they are of the same family.
I guess they are just they are violent, violent, dangerous things.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yeah, but very aggressive. Yeah, I guess. I guess. You know,
domesticated pigs on hogs on farms can can be quite
dangerous too, and I'd never known that before.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So, yeah, there's there's a couple of different And this
was the article on the Dispatch. A deputy coroner chief
forenic pathologist told the Dispatch that she died from blood
loss because of extensive superficial wounds on her legs. She
underwent heart surgery earlier in the year, was on blood thinners,
(21:48):
so her blood loss was because of the blood thinners
in part. So what that does is, you know, obviously
blood thinners thins your blood. So you get something that's
not being controlled and you start blo it will it
will bleed more vigorously if you will. And so anyway,
she continued to bleed. She was unable to form clots
(22:09):
stop the bleeding because she was on those blood thinners.
That those that type of medicine is very I remember
when I did my knee, I had my knee worked on.
It was very, very very serious. The way they said,
you know you if you're taking aspirin or I mean
there were It was very extensive. The way that they
(22:31):
questioned me on that. So those blood thinners are no joke.
I mean, you you get something like that. The lower
extremities were injured, and that had she been upright and
alive before being knocked down by the pigs. This was
according to some of the couple you know people that
were in this article saying the pigs had partially they
(22:55):
had partially consumed her.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
And it's just heartbreaking to see this.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
And I I keep I'm nervous talking about it because
I don't want to seem irreverent about it.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
But it's this is part of an article that was
in the Dispatch. There's an obvious interest there because it
is so unusual. You don't want to come across as
morbid or even calf or anything like that. And you know,
God knows all we can do is say, dear family
of this woman, we are so so similary sorry for
what you're going through. It's bad enough when somebody dies
(23:29):
dies supposed to be visiting other family members on Christmas.
Is when she apparently fell. They've got to be heartbroken.
Such a bizarre story. There's no way that we cannot
pay attention to this story. It's part of what's going on. Yeah,
it is. It's incredibly sad, no question.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
We got people that are on hold now, multiple people,
which we'll get to. Your calls coming up here, So
stand by, fuck pleaser show you got some phones on hold,
We'll get to those calls. Your calls criminal us on

Germany that there's been few requests from California so far,
but the Pentagon has a lot more capability that can
be deployed. The major rate limiting step here is the
(24:51):
high wind sweeping through southern California. That's grounding military and
civilian aircraft that are used to fight fire from abou
It's also, of course, contributing to the spread of a fire.
Those winds are expected to get even worse this evening.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yeah, when you look at this whole situation, and certainly
most of America, I would imagine, has been watching over
these last couple of days, and you see where fires
are jumping across big you know, drive streets, if you will,
concrete streets and so on, Where the fires are jumping
that because of the winds and so on, and it
just looks like as you watch this the footage of it,
(25:28):
it looks like there is no stopping this.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
It is.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
It's crazy that they can't get it under control, and
certainly the conditions are part of that or what have you.
So hopefully something like this they can get this stuff
into and with those conditions, like the wind conditions you
kind of mentioned there, you can't really use aircraft and
so on.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
It becomes too dangerous for them.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
It seems like that's right, And as of this morning,
a lot of the major fires were at zero percent containment,
So it really shows you what these firefighters are up against.
A potential change would be if modular air firefighting systems
they're called NAFF are able to be deployed and actually
be used effectively and over and over again, get consistently,
(26:13):
because what these are, these are these systems that can
convert C one thirties into basically you know, a fire
trucks in the sky. They're able to draw fire, retard
it on large areas and you know, make a difference
bringing that zero percent up. But with the wind sweeping,
it's hard for anybody to predict whether they're going to.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Be able to be used.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
So that's something that they are looking at and kind
of almost having out the ready if the conditions will
warrant that they will begin using that. And it sounds
like something like that of that magnitude could start to
maybe kind of get a handle on this because I'm
seeing that too, Shannon, Like, when I'm watching the news,
I'll see zero percent containment and they'll show, you know,
(26:54):
a specific it'll be a live shot of some and
I'm just like, every single live shot says zero percent containment.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I'm like, oh my gosh. There.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
They can't get this under control, and it feels like
it's going to burn the whole state up.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
It's bizarre, right, and the federal authorities are they are
doing with their kin. They're trying. There are helicopters that
have been deployed with water buckets, but a fire of
this magnitude those water buckets there really is like a
drop in the bucket because they're just not doing enough
to make a difference. So really getting those major assets out,
but there are manpower problems of course. Two that the
(27:28):
US military is looking to back up. They have deployed
about two hundred guardsmen. And these are not just you know,
any guardsmen. These are guardsmen who serve on highly trained
teams that work with cal Fire as part of Task
Force Rattlesnink, especially trained two eliminate fires like these, as
well as four hundred military policemen, and they can help
(27:49):
with anything from evacuations to maintaining law and order through
California as they deal with this emergency.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Yeah, I'm seeing there's like looters unfortunately becoming part of
this story as well.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Well.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Then kind of to what you were just talking about, Shannon,
I saw. I believe Nevada and Arizona, maybe even another
state that maybe Idaho, I can't remember exactly. They named
some states where there were there's help coming of the
fire fighters men and women in that in that aspect
that we're going to be coming and hopefully helping here
(28:21):
giving some relief with I'm sure very exhausted firefighters in
that area.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
That's right, And a.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
Lot of the seats have received help from California firefighters
in the past, because you know, really cal Fire is
the top of its game when it comes to combating fire,
big fires like these, and that's because California unfortunately has
so much experience, you know in dealing with this, but
an urban area like this and just the absolute magnitude,
you know, it's something that many of these firefighters have
(28:50):
just never seen something that compares to it.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah, very good.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Shannon Kingston, ABC News State Department correspondent, thank you very
much for the latest time this. Appreciate you. All right,
we'll see it. Yeah, watching this whole thing. Also, did
you see and I don't have it right in front
of me, but there were you know, you start breaking
down what kind of money was taken away from fire
(29:17):
in the state of California and given to what preserving?
What kind of fish was like the smell smelts? Yes, yeah,
smelt so so you saw that to you familiar with.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Also Los Angeles, the City of Los Angeles, their new
budget just eliminated seventeen point six million dollars from the
fire department while allocating extra money like fourteen point six
more in the budget for I think the library system ercently. Yeah,
I know.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Yeah, well did you so you see the post and
immediately when you see a post like from from President
elect Trump, you see a post about how Gavin Newsom
is at the he's at the unfortunately at the nucleus
of this problem that is happening. Did you see when
he was on with Rogan that was obviously before the election,
(30:09):
that he was talking about this and the problems that
exist in the state of California.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
People are speculating.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Who wasn't It was Henry Winkler who said, didn't he
say something?
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yes, I mean people are speculating because they're going the
Hollywood Hills now have who did you see some of.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
The where is that? Where did that go? Oh?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Some of the celebrities there, Holmes reduced to ash Adam
Brody and Leyton Measter, Anna Farris, Billy Crystal, Eugene Levy Man.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I love Eugene Levy.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I love that guy, John Goodman, Paris Hilton, Lost Holmes,
James Woods, Mark Hamill.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
That's the one. I heard his story and talking about
the little niece or whatever offering her piggy bank to
help him rebuild, and that just that got me, Missy,
It really did that. I mean, I'm sure that whatever
insurance is illegal to have in California, they've got and
they've got plenty of money, but still your life, you know,
(31:12):
your Academy Awards. I mean, he said, whatever, all that
kind of stuff, man, that's that's your history, and it's
burnt to the ground, and that's that's just got to
tear the heart out of you, no matter how many
resources you have at your disposal.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I was even having a conversation this morning, you know,
Josephine was sitting there with me when I was kind
of looking over stuff getting ready for the day, and
you know what we're going to talk about, and all that.
She goes, You know, Dad, though they have a lot
of money. I said, let me stop you right there.
I said, honey, think about this. Let's say that we
were rich and our house burned down. Would you feel
(31:47):
better because we have money? I said, think about Look
over there on the bookshelf. See those pictures are you
and your brother, See the pictures of Jasmine, See the
pictures of you know, all of our different family loved
ones and all that gone. Think about all those ornaments
that we've collected amassed over the years for our tree,
and how special those are made. You and Stone made those.
(32:10):
When you're growing up little kids, you're making ornaments out
of popsicle sticks and gluing them and writing Merry Christmas
and I love you Mom, and I love you Dad
and all of this. Now, you know, these people are
no different. Yeah, they have a few more zeros in
their bank at the end of their bank account numbers,
but look, they're losing everything.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
And you know, look, you got to set politics aside.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
People even if they're mean or they hate Trump or
they hate people who support Trump or whatever, and we're
all human first. And I know we kind of talked
about a little bit yesterday, but when you look at
this list, and this is just a short list, I
would imagine there are a lot more celebs who have
loved When you start talking about the Hollywood Hills, that's
where most of them live.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
And it's really sad the way that this is unfortunately
playing out. And the insurance companies, if they're covering them
for anything, I guarantee you insurance companies will be in
backing out even more than they already have in the
state of California because there's nothing out there that's not
at least six million dollars. Oh, I know, so the
payout is going to be extreme. Well, and they were.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
I saw an article a little bit ago that said,
like a few months ago, State Farm had canceled a
bunch of that insurance on these people. Yeah, man, they
canceled it. I don't know what was behind that. That's
just the headline. And I didn't click to read the story,
but saw that as a as a headline. Hey, Chris,
welcome to the show. What do you think about you
got something in the wildfires?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (33:39):
Yeah? Hey, Mark, thanks so a ton for taking my call.
I appreciate it. You are a true patriot.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Well, thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (33:49):
Yeah, these wildfires going on, Mark, this, I'm calling this
out for what it is. This is Democrat policy and
implementay and on full display. What's going on right now
in California. This is what it looks like America. How
does it look not so hot? From where I sit?
(34:12):
This is just ridiculous. They could they had no water
in the fire hydrants for these men to work crazy. Yeah,
it's just awful. And Mark, you're a powerful voice, and
this is the time to come together and get these
(34:33):
people taken care of. But realize there's nothing wrong with
calling out that. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, is in charge.
He's the head of the state. And then this other
lady the mayor who just came back into town. She's
a full on Marxist. She's buddies with Castro, Fidel Castro.
(34:57):
She was going over there taking lessons from him. This
is what it looks like, America. How's it look if
you fly over the place, it looks like you're flying
into hell. Yeah, that's what they wanted the whole country.
Can you imagine? Ark, Thank you so much for the
people for the way we did, because we've got to
(35:19):
go a different direction. This is incompetencies of the Democrats
that are just ruining our country. And I'm not trying
to make it political whether no matter what side of
this you're on, right or left, you got to look
at this and see that it's not right and it
was totally preventable.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Yeah, you're right, Chris.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Look there's no getting around the leadership of that state
dropped the ball. There is no question about that, one
hundred percent. I just hope they're able to somehow pick
up the pieces and learn and think about how long
it's going to take to rebuild any of those any
of those structures, any of this they're talking. Yeah, I'm
(35:59):
sure they're approaching, you know, obviously several hundred with one
thousands maybe.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Even what'd you say, I said, I wouldn't what rebuild? Yeah,
out there to your potential earthquakes, the politics crazy right,
the forest fires and all that kind of stuff. Yeah,
California is not nearly as appealing as it might have
been thirty years ago. Yeah, yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
It'll be interesting, but there will be some clearly that
that will do that if they could even somehow figure
it out.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Laser Show podcasts on six ' ten WTV dot com.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
All right, so we do have a winter weather advisory
going into effects tomorrow. That is, Chief Meteorologist Marshall McPeak
is joining us now. So Marshall, this uh, this winter
weather advisory. I like in the forecast it was shovellable
snow making services hazardous.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Again, here we go, Here we go. It's winter in Ohio,
So here we go.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
It's been a while since we've had a winter with
some on and off decent snow, and this is going.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
To be one of them, apparently.
Speaker 6 (37:06):
So the winter weather advisory starts for tomorrow afternoon to
last through Saturday morning. The snow moves in and it'll
probably get going enough for the afternoon commute, you may
have some slick spots, and then it continues in the
evening at over night hours. So two to four on
the ground by Saturday morning. So we'll spend part of
the day Saturday shoveling out from that, and then Sunday
(37:28):
we get some sunshine with a high year twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
In the meantime, right now, we're watching.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
What's going on in Dallas and a lot of Buckeyes
and Buckeye fans are headed toward Dallas for the Cotton Bowl,
and right now radar.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
It's really kind of incredible.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
Every single possible color that radar has available is on.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
The screen at once. In Dallas.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
There is rain, there is snow, There is heavy rain,
there is freezing rain, there is heavy snow, light snow flurry.
It's all happening in Dallas right now.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
It is a mess, crazy.
Speaker 6 (38:03):
So if you if you're if you know anybody headed
that way, definitely make sure to check with the airline
before you go. We're already seeing all kinds of delays
and cancelations and it's a mess down there. It'll be
finished long before game time. They should have at least
a good ten to twelve hours to try to get
things cleaned up before the game starts. So fingers crossed
they can get it done. The different system that gets
(38:26):
to us is going to be Friday night into Saturday.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
All right, Marshall, thank you. It is twenty five right now.
Thank you for listening. Mark Blazer, meteorologist friends in Dallas.
By chance, I don't because I would love to see
some video of what they're doing. You've got to be, well,
they don't have to deal with this kind of graph. Yeah,
they've got to be We don't just people just people
of Dallas run just run head for Houston.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Yeah, and they they're not. There's no infrastructure there. They're
not set up for this craziness that's happening. So and
then you think about people who are from that area
that live there. I don't know how many transplants there
are people that live in that area who have not
used to dealing with it. This is going to be
an absolute disaster. And I hope I'm wrong. I told Marshall.
(39:16):
In Texas, snow removal equipment is called July. You know,
It's not like they're going to have a bunch of
plow trucks and stuff there. They could get They'll be
in the they could be in the mid and upper nineties,
even into September and October there. Man, it's crazy. So
last night I was listening on the Power Hour. I
think you were talking about how the Queen your wife
(39:39):
was talking in her sleep.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
I haven't go back. I'm putting this.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Yeah, and to the point where you were like, she
it wasn't gibbering. It was in a language like she
was speaking. She sounded like she was speaking some some
weird hybrid Middle Eastern Spanish thing.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
It was. It was odd, and I mean, she was
really going at it. She was arguing with somebody in
another language, which you know when she argues with me
sometimes I feel like it's another language too. But still
the well.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
And then people started calling about, you know, types of
stuff that they do in their while while they're sleeping.
And there are certainly a lot of people who suffer
from well. I don't know if you call it suffer,
but they sleep walk. Did you ever sleep I'm not
a kid, I used to you did sleepwalk. You referenced
something where you had barely had any sleep, and you
(40:37):
ended up at the radio station because you were working
like a Madman.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
And you were like, I don't even remember how I
got it, dude, You remember how I was back in
the beginning. I was spinning records at Straight Zone at night,
and I get out of there at two thirty. Then
I went to work at the dispatch at three fifteen am,
and then I was out trying to handle business and
do things, and I just I was running on no
sleep at all, and half the time I'd get to
my destination, have no idea how I arrived.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Well, what's funny with that is a lot of people,
don't they say to themselves, there is no way that
people do complete fill in the blank while they're asleep
driving ending up at a destination in their homes cooking
whole meals, and there's a whole it's a whole thing,
and that is some sort of a medical could be
a medical issue that's going on there. Well, then somebody
(41:23):
calls in named Sarah, who called into the show and
started telling you about how I think it was either
he she or her sister would like do performances or whatever.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
And this is a clip from that last night.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
But what this did was it actually morphed into Zach
hitting on her basically.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
Man, I can't believe he did this. He started like
basically hitting on this. He's got You know that scene
in the Grinch cartoon when the Grinch does that evil smile.
That's what Zach did when she said, and I'm single,
and Zach just like the law Yes, yeah, anyway, this
is what it sounded like.
Speaker 5 (42:01):
Hit it, Zach, please, and my sister would give me
to sing songs and like put on performances for her,
like Reba McIntyre. That's the nice the lights went out
in Georgia, and I would like do a whole performance
for her and not remember it at all.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
Oh my gosh, you said, Reva McIntyre. So you are
under forty. I can tell that.
Speaker 5 (42:26):
See the night time, I am forty, exactly on the dot.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
See to my generation, that's a Vicky Lawrence song.
Speaker 5 (42:33):
But my mama looked like Reva.
Speaker 4 (42:35):
So well, okay, hang on, hang on what your forty

Speaker 5 (42:41):
I mean she still kind of does.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
And see now that you and Vicky Lawrence, which I mean.
Speaker 5 (42:46):
Seventy, but she's beatiful. She still got red bone hair, Like.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
Yeah, there are you single? Or would you quit hitting
on the call, but you're not, so what are you doing? No,
he's Zach. Zach is single, nobody wants him.
Speaker 5 (42:59):
Yeah, oh sorry, I thought Zach was married with kids.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
Hey are you doing row? Which is stop, Sarah? Don't

Chuck Wallery making a love connect, and I'm like, holy crap,
this just happened right on the TVN airwaves.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
That goes back to the ancient age of six TENAU
TV and back when I was a youngster listening to
the station and we used to do something called desperate
and dateless, And I felt like I was right back
in the middle of that. Hilarious hilarious.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
Definitely desperate and dateless describes Zach for sure.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Man, Oh wait, not the desperate part necessary she's going
