Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:08):
All right, we'll get to that. That piece of trash
that was the Biden farewell address. Stand By for that
CBJ on Whole Life Tonight, going for six in a row.
A little bit later on the show, he's the radio
voice of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Bob mcgalligan will join us.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
But you know, Harry Doyle, mister baseball, Bob Ucker has
passed away at the age of ninety.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Is that a pretty good run?

Speaker 3 (00:33):
I think that's pretty good ninety. I think we should
have a Miller light to celebrate. Yes, I remember though
those commercials. Oh yeah, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Joe Frazier, dude, you know, And I was telling you,
I was watching when he was on with Johnny Carson.
It was from nineteen seventy six, and he was talking
about Jocketch and a commercial for that, and I mean,
Zak Attack and I were in there watching it, and
it's just his dry humor. He's uh, he was perfect

(01:05):
on Carson if you ask me, they it could. They
were the perfect compliment for each other. But man, Harry
Doyle as the announcer for Major League and you know,
of course with Charlie Sheen, and there was just so
many iconic moments in those movies. I think I don't
know how many was there two of those three of

(01:27):
the major League two?

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Major League three? Remember two? Two? Was there three?

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Okay, Zachtech, thank you. Probably like jewels after the first two,
you don't pay attention, right.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
You start going, oh, there's a third and a fourth?
What here is?

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:41):
In no particular order, but we'll go with clip one
for uh. This is Harry Doyle as he was, you know,
the guy calling it, you know it basically his what
he is. But in the movie, if you will, and
this is just some of the memories.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Clip one, time of the sixth man rookie sensation Ricky
Vaughan on the pitch now on a juvenile delink, but
in the off season and is major league debut, on
into the wind.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Up in his fresh offering, Josh the bit outside.

Speaker 5 (02:07):
He tried in the corner and missed, wall four, wall.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
Eight long and on has walked the basins, loned on
twelve straight pitches.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Bolly, how can these.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Guys lay off pitches that close?

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I love it so freaking good.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh man, that's his gold and the sincerity in which
he was delivering the lines. I mean you know they
were obviously stupid, but he did it as if he was.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
That was really yeah, ball eight ball four ball eight
I love as well.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
He's got that wow.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
That that it was almost like it was an audio
caricature of himself. Yes, you know what I mean, Like
he just he just made it this huge, this huge thing.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
And that's what made him really funny. He was mostly
what he did on camera was making fun of himself.
That's why he was so good, so good ninety years old.
He had a good run, he was popular, he had money,
and he probably died laughing at something. So that's the
way to do it.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, And I don't know at the end there, I
don't know if he was sick or I didn't read
anything that he was. If he was, so I feel
like maybe his quality of life was still good, so
hopefully he hasn't been suffering for multiple years or what
have you. But I did not I didn't see exactly
how he passed or passed of what did you happen

(03:30):
to see that or No?

Speaker 3 (03:31):
I just saw that he was ninety, and I figured
that was why he died, right, I.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Mean, yeah, you know there's always that because people go, uh,
he was ninety.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, but gosh, people that make it way farther than that.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
I mean, obviously it's not I try not to pay
attention to that unless it's something like way out of
the ordinary. If he got you know, some odd disease
or whatever. Okay, I want to know. But if you
you know, you died, you were ninety, you know you
had some sort of lung cancer, your kidneys failed or tack.
That's what happens. We age and we fall apart, and
then we go away. And unless it's out of the ordinary,

(04:04):
I try not to even pay attention to too much
of that.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, it's probably pretty good to go by.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Here's something else from Major League where he is, of course,
Harry Doyle and mister baseball Bob you has passed away
at the age of ninety.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
But here it is clip two, just a.

Speaker 6 (04:20):
Reminder fans about die Hard Night coming up here.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
At the stadium pre admission to anyone who was actually
alive the last time.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
The Indians want to put it.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
I wonder too with him because you could feel his
natural humor whenever, especially when you watch him on Carson
Er you see him on anything for that matter. But
when you watch him, I wonder if some of those
things were just they just rolled tape and he just
did his thing, just like threw stuff out there, or

(04:51):
they would give him lines and that it would make
him think of saying, oh, probably you know what I mean, Yeah,
kind of a thing. Gosh, so good. More from Major
League as of course, his character's name is Harry Doyle
Clip three, Zach clip three.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
That's all we got one God.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
You can't say God, I.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Don't worry nobody's listening anyway.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
I've had a job like that.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, his producer sitting there like next to him.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
You can't say GD on the air.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Oh diddy, Wow, you just you kind of mentioned it.
And that's he died of lung cancer. You know what, though,
if you get to a point in your life, if
you have so many hurts and creeks and pains, and
I mean, you get to a point where they say,
that's God's way of allowing you to loosen your grip

(05:46):
on life. You know, when you start to every day
you wake up and it's just like what am I doing?
You know, and you just start to get to the
point where you're like, I'm okay with's going ahead and
going because I just don't want to feel this way anymore,
you know, kind of a thing it feels like. But
I don't know when he got it, or you know
how long he had it or what have you. But

(06:08):
all right, this is the This is the final clip
that we have from Major League again, mister Baseball, Bob Yucker,
one of the greats, passing away at age ninety Clip four.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
Zachitec Christ to Sean swung on and bult to the
deep right field.

Speaker 6 (06:20):
That goes Serrano. Clip baby is ont of here. That
looked like the Terminator, only slower. Maybe it was his
out of stator, or it could have been the Hibernator.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
That baby is definitely.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Going away for the winter.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Whatever.

Speaker 6 (06:35):
For Vaughan it might be seal later, he's probably going
to become a spectator.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
It's the Sealalator, the Hibernator.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
I'm looking at the picture now, Andre the giant strangling
him and his eyes bulging out. He looks little like
Rodney Dangerfield with those giant hands around his neck. Yeah,
but he got involved with WWE w WF back in
nineteen eighty seven. Is a ring announcer for WrestleMania. Uker Yeah, yeah,
and that was like another high note. It's like Bob
Ucker doing WrestleMania, and he was actually really good and

(07:10):
revered for it. He did a great job.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
It feels like, and I didn't know about that, but
although that you're bringing it, it kind of rings a bell.
I don't remember, you know, distinctly, anything about it, but
it feels like anything that guy did and people loved
him when he did it, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
It wasn't like he did something to go, oh, what
is he doing?

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Baseball career wasn't all that remarkable. He was a two
hundred hitter, right, you know, catcher. Yeah, played with the
let me see here, the Braves, the Cardinals, and the
Phillies during his time playing baseball, and then found far
more fame and apparently happiness. In front of a camera
and behind the microphone.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
He's telling Carson he's like as a javelin thrower. He's like, yeah,
the neighbors didn't like that very much. He goes, yeah,
just with the sighting it would just stick right in
their house. Yeah, you just weren't fans of it. Yeah,
you know, and he's real straight face the whole time.
The Carson kept setting him up and he was knocking
him down. It was it was fun.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Man.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Hey, Tim on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone lines,
Welcome to the show. Thanks for listening. Man there Tim,
there you go.

Speaker 7 (08:15):
Hear me?

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, there you are. Sorry I couldn't hear you first.

Speaker 7 (08:17):
Go ahead, okay, okay, thank you. I think one of
the other things about Uker was that he was a
great physical comic comic as well. Because there was a
scene in Major League and I don't know if you
remember this one, but he's drinking Jack Daniels wise announcing
because they're absolutely horrible.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
He's a he's in a wife beater. He's sitting there
and like boxers and a wife.

Speaker 7 (08:38):
But he takes the Jack Daniels and he dabs it
behind his ears like it's cologne. And I laughed so hard.
I couldn't believe it. I just tears were coming out
of my eyes. And he did that, because I'll bet
he did that just just you know, off, just off
the cuff.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Off.

Speaker 7 (08:52):
Yeah, such a hilarious moment. You know, Jack Daniels blown
with Bob Yucker. It's just great.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
That is fantastic.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
He would think that they so in this day and age,
if somebody were to do that and it became iconic, Tim,
they probably would run with that Jack Daniels.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
World, That's exactly what I'm thinking. There ever been a
Jack Daniels cologne.

Speaker 7 (09:10):
Yeah, show that clip and launch their whole product line.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
You know it just hilarious, so good so good man.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, rest in peace, Bob Yucker, one of the one
of the greatest ever, one of the greatest ever.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Love it, Tim, Thanks, thanks man, Thank you. Ah.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
In addition to when someone goes like that, and like
you said, it really kind of transcends his behind the
mic stuff, everything that Bob Uker was.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
In addition to all that, you just you kind of
marked the day.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
When someone goes like that, you go, that's part of me,
It's part of my That's why we pay tribute, that's
why we have the feelings that we have.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
And the worst part for me is losing Bob. You
ger Okay, that's one thing. But then I started thinking
about everybody else who's up there that I'm like, oh, man,
that's gonna hurt. That's what Ever since I heard he died,
I'm thinking, who's they going, Who's man Eastwood is up there?
Hackman is up there? These these guys that I revere,
and I just I hate when one goes because you know,

(10:13):
they always tell about three, sometimes at seven, but there
just always seem to be those coincidental deaths right in
a row, and I I it just discourages me even
thinking about that, because so many greats are leaving and
not many greats are coming in to fill the void.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
The two you mentioned there are in one of my
favorite movies, The Unforgiven. Oh yes, so you mentioned Clinieswood
and Gene Hackman, of course, and Hackman being the the
crooked sheriff or whatever he wants. I love that he's, like,
you shot an unarmed man, he should armed himself. Eastwood's
so good, so is Hackman. Oh my gosh, man, I oh,

(10:49):
you're right, that's gonna be bad.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Even though they're both never done anything that I don't love.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
They're both a million years old, but you're right, yeah,
they it's still.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Gonna hurt there. Hackman's out there getting his coffee in
the morning and so forth. He's not even playing the
role of being famous now. He's just an old man
in town and that kind of thing. And I saw
Jay Leno's out there handing out food and stuff to firefighters.
Oh my gosh, we we're losing guys like that. I know,
I know it. Man.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Hey, Mike and Westerville, thanks for listening.

Speaker 8 (11:14):
Brother, Hey, I just wanted to you guys might have
said it already, but just a bit outside.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, man, so good, right, so good?

Speaker 4 (11:27):
Last last one ball four boiell apparently stand off pitch.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah yeah, that's the uh you know what that is?

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Clip one? Where are you, Zach? Are you in?

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (11:41):
If you could pull up clip one just again for
Mike because he tuned in, but if you could play
clip one, especially so he can listen, Mike, this is
what we played a little bigger, but check it out.
I'll play it against fantastic.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
Time of the sixth Man, Roikie Sensation, Ricky Vaughn on
the pitch now boy juvenile delinquent in the off season
and is major lye debut On into the lineup in
his first offering, Josh the bit outside. He tried the
corner in this all four all eight. Long On has

(12:12):
walked the bases loaded on twelve straight pitches.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Boy, how can.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
These guys layoff pitches that close?

Speaker 2 (12:21):
He's the greatest man with that stuff the greatest. Ah, good, thanks, Mike.
Appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
And you don't even have to be a fan of
baseball to appreciate the humor there. I mean, it's just
it's funny, regardless of whether you've watched a baseball game
in your life or not.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Right, how are they laying off pitches which they're all
not even just barely, they're like feet out off the plate?

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Oh so good.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Tonight the Columbus Blue Jackets, the twenty one, seventeen, and
six Columbus Blue Jackets on whole ice going for six
in a row tonight versus the fourteen, twenty six and
six San Jose Sharks coming to town.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Also their Stadium series.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
All of the swag for the Stadium Series I I
saw earlier popped up into my email and I started
looking at all of it. So they're doing these commemorative
jerseys and key chains and to boggins and long sleeve
shorts and shirts and short sleeve shirts.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Those long sleeve shorts could be that's innovative right there.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
They're called pants, but they're they're launching all of that
stuff too, and I'm looking at it and you can pay,
you know, for an official it's just under five hundred
bucks for a jersey. But then they've got some stuff
that's way more affordable. Obviously, they got key chains and
you know the you know, like a coffee mug or

(13:45):
the ones that the travel mugs and and it's all
the commemorative you know, for the stadium series, as you
know it's going to be for the the Detroit Red Wings.
And the Red Wings right now are on a tear too.
So man, this if this keeps up during the month
of rest of this month, in the month of February,
if they're on a collision course, this game is going

(14:05):
to be way more than just the fact that it's at.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
The Horseshoe and it's outside and all that.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
And we could give the ball such absolute grief if
this goes the right way the rest of the season,
you know.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
But you know what, if you asked him, he would
rather have the Super Bowl. I think with the Lions,
he would rather have that as opposed to the Cup,
the Stanley Cup. But that's just me knowing him, and
I think that's what he would say because the Red
Wings have already been there for that, So the Lions, Yeah,
This is pretty special if they end up getting into
the Super Bowl and winning it. You know this year too.

(14:36):
But good, good for Detroit, Good for the city of Detroit.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Good. I'd rather have an afro, but you know, life happened.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Right, I'd rather have all my hair back too. But yeah,
And he's the radio voice for the club as Blue Jackets,
Bob Mcalligan. He's going to join us a little bit
later on. There is a pizza joint in Britain. It's
charging are you ready one hundred dollars to add pineapple
to pie? I think what they're trying to say is

(15:06):
they don't think it belongs on pizza.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
They want to be able to pay the fine when
the pizza police show up.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Right, it's Lupa's Pizza.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
It's in Norwich, England, and the head chef there says, no,
it's a pineapple, but he's still he'll serve it to
you if you're willing to pay that one hundred dollars
up charge. And then the napoli, the meatball, the pepperoni.
It costs around seventeen. You dare to order the Hawaiian pizza, though,
it will cost you one hundred and twenty dollars, but
it's there.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
You have to wonder if their pizza is the same
as our pizza, since neither of us are actually the
creators of pizza, right, Italian pizza I would expect to
be above and be on anything we can get in
the States. But I wonder if British pizza and American
pizza are relatively close.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
I've never been over there, Marshall, you've been to if
you've been across the pond and had pizza there. I
have been across the pond. I can't say that I've
had the pizza when I was there. So that's why
everybody goes right right, Clearly I was missing the boat
on this.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
I should have ordered the pizza.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Who needs fish and chips while you're there, get pizza?

Speaker 5 (16:13):
Man?

Speaker 2 (16:13):
How long ago were you there?

Speaker 4 (16:15):
Right?

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Last time I was there was eighteen, twenty eighteen.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Okay, yeah, I've never been never been across the pond.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Twenty one ago, but not to London. I want to
go in to a little town called It's Port Isaac.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Port Isaac, Yes, Yeah, don't know.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Ay, little bitty seaside town.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, I mean there's a whole bunch of areas there.
Of course, I'd love to see London. And were you
in London, Marshall? Yeah, I think it was twenty twelve,
now that I think about it. Oh, okay, it's been
even longer than your son. Yeah, what's that? Is it
warmer there than it is here? Okay, So it's been
warmer in North Dakota the last few In fact, it's
been warmer in Alaska the last few days.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
What is the lowest high we've ever had here?

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Oh, at the top of my head, the lowest low
that we've had was minus twenty two. I was like
eighteen ninety nine or something, wasn't that I was reading.
I'd have to look up what the I'd have to
look it up for you. If the top of my head,
I'm not.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Next week, I'm think of the word high is an
insult to the numbers.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
New drinking game for next week to try to say time.
Every time I say cold, you have to take a sip.
Oh boy, every time I say frigid, you have to
take a shot. And every time I say arctic, you
chug Marshall by three on the done for well, yeah,
I won't be able to function, speak, stand sit, I'll

(17:35):
be drooling almost on the verge of unconsciousness. I mean,
these are the three words that you're going to hear
constantly over the next week and a half. Because so
with every shift here in the weather center, you know,
everybody comes in, you look at the numbers, and you
update the forecast. Right and in every shift we have

(17:56):
all been dropping the numbers even more so for now,
I think Monday's high of seven and Tuesdays high of
eight might be optimistic.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Okay, I'm going over there right now to beat him out.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Overnight lows of three below or colder three below is
the low that's not a wind shill. The windshill is
like fifteen to twenty below. Oh, the kids will be
out of school for sure.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
For that.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
I would not be surprised tell that at all. So
it is that is entirely possible. Between here and there.
We've actually got a bit of a I'm gonna say
warm up, because it is warmer than we've been the
last few days. But it just means we're normal thirty
seven tomorrow, and we'll do some melting because we'll get
a little bit of sunshine to break through the clouds,

(18:46):
and then the wind will also help to melt some
of what's out there. Saturday, it's some rain mixed with
snow that'll limit the accumulations to half inch or less
in most areas, and then a few flurries on Sunday.
But it's Sunday that's when the cold air starts to
move in. So Sunday night down to one below, Monday's
high seven, Monday night three below, Tuesday eight, Tuesday night

(19:14):
three below, And that's optimistic. One of the models I
have is showing and I think it's way off that
we're not going with this, but it says like eighteen.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Below, so oh no, oh wow, I no.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
I think I think that's that's one of those that
shows up on social media without any context, right, they're like,
oh my god, what's gonna happen?

Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (19:36):
No, I think we're more likely to be single digits
below zero. But still, how many places, how many places
on Earth? Can you say the weather in the winter
it hurts? It's actually the cold actually hurt. You go
outside and it's painful just existing. You're not doing, you're
not exerting, you didn't stub your toe, You just breathe.

(19:58):
You just try to breathe and it's it's like, oh,
my lungs and then the inside of your nostrils freeze.
I think they feel that way in Calgary all the time.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Probably, right, but not many places. A little bit u
instancy would be. Now, you know, there's a maximum temperature.
Nobody's ever been like one hundred and fifty degrees, right,
Geography comes into play the earth exactly. But why is
there's no consistency. Some winters we may average out of
you know, thirty one degrees for the winter, and some
we may have prolonged blow zeros.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
And it was gesting, right, Marshall, you can part partly, yeah, just.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
You know, say, well Ohio, Central Ohio is generally around this,
but we're so we go crazy with one year to
the next. It's always so different.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
This is why we look at the averages for a
lot of this stuff, right, because you get the extremes.
So this is where when you're when this is the
difference between weather and climate. So weather is what we're
getting right now, and that's these extremes right where it
gets in the summer, it gets really hot for a
couple of days. But you know, look at the overall
average over the course of years, and that's when we

(21:00):
start talking about climate, right, And it's the average that
kind of mellows out some of those extremes and gives
you a better feel of what is normal. So that's
why when we talk about normal in central Ohio, we're
talking about a thirty year average, so the last thirty years,
and that puts us at a round thirty seven ish

(21:22):
for this time of the year. Twenty two is overnight lows. Yeah,
so that would be average, and that kind of gets
rid of these extreme highs and extreme lows and kind
of gives us. But then we bounce back on Wednesday,
it looks like twenty roughly, you know for the high.
So yeah, yeah, we have a couple of days there
where it just dips, like we're like, oh, it's like

(21:43):
a different You pick up Ohio and drop it into
a different part of the United States, Welcome to Alaska,
and then pick it back up and drop it back
where we are, and it's like, oh, it's twenty. The
next day, it's all me yeah, pall me exactly, break
out the speedos.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
As they say in your pool, be open again too, Marshall.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Whoooo yay, all right, uh Marshall, thank you very much.
It is twenty nine right now. So what's with what?
Why is the wine taking so long?

Speaker 3 (22:13):
I don't know, but it's annoying as all get out.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
What's going on here?

Speaker 3 (22:16):
This ridiculous this day again it's attention so everybody will
be saying, hey, mister govin a wade where every day
he gets to be, you know, popular, because everybody wants
to know, do look at what to saytas do? Would
it taking fifteen twenty seconds? Well?

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah, and then you also saw I mean, we'll go
back to the pandemic when it was wine with the
wine and him and acting and that his whole gang
would get on TV every.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Day day anyway.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
He would start with here's the tie I'm wearing today.
It turned into a variety yes, a bad variety show
on M Dass And I used to watch that thinking
to myself, what is this guy doing?

Speaker 2 (22:51):
He is addicted to that.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Limelight and I feel like you could be onto something here.
Why is he dragging his feet? And word on the
street is that Trump is pushing for Viveke Ramaswami. Now,
if you're Vivike, you know think about he's he's way
overqualified for governor. And look, if you are one of
the people that wanted to be I'm sorry, not governor, senator.

(23:15):
He's way overqualified for that. If you ask me, I
just I And if you're one of the people that
wants to police, don't take that as anything other.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Vivec is an incredibly intelligent guy. I mean you think.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
About the stuff that that guy says on his feet,
he's thinking on his feet, and the way that he
reacts to people in situations. He is incredibly incredibly intelligent.
And so if you're him, do you want to be
senator or do you want to be part of doge?
With Elon Musk, I mean, what is the brighter? Because
I was telling you I feel like with Viveke, he

(23:50):
probably is saying to himself, how many times am I
going to get to be in a president's cabinet? How
am I gonna get especially with something that is this
fledgeling doge that they're talking about too. It's something that
and if this thing does as well as everybody you
know that has a brain is predicting, then he would
like to be at the top of that. Think about

(24:12):
that where that's nice on the old resume there, but
to be a senator.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
I don't know. It's not like like I told you,
It's not like.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
That's warmed up lasagna or anything. I mean, you are
one of the top one hundred most influential, powerful people.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
My problem with this is we have been talking about
it since the results of the presidential election. We knew
that it was coming. I need somebody in control that
is forward thinking and plans for the future instead of
being one of these reactionary heat of the moment, hot
button issue people. What Ramaswami has shown me by just
rearing his head at this point Thursday before the inauguration,

(24:49):
I think he trut he wants to be the senator.
That that again, that bothers me. We've been talking about
this for the past couple of weeks, pretty much every day.
It's been an issue since November fifth. Why wait until
right now?

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Well, even say even more, Chuck, It's not like somebody
passed away and they didn't know even before we knew
that jd. Vance was going to be vice president a
long time ago. So you add in my estimation, you
add more time than what you were even saying too.
With regard that we knew that this was coming. We
knew that JD was going to be stepping down as

(25:26):
senator for Ohio. We knew that a long time ago,
as a matter of fact, when Trump picked him to
run with him, and it started looking like this thing's
looking really good for those two. So there's been a
long time to think about this and to prepare and
so on and so forth. I feel like because he's
really been non existent. I haven't heard anything from the
VEG for a while.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
Now, and he's got his own companies to run, doesn't
he That's something else. I mean, I could see being
part of the Do's team with Elon and running your companies.
The senator is going to require a lot of hours.
Does that mean he wants to walk away from the
partnership with and the dog?

Speaker 2 (26:01):
He can't do both. I don't think he could do both.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
I don't know. Yeah, this is just throws a wrench
into things that I didn't think needed to be thrown in.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
So I think a lot of people are just going, look,
it could have been Trump maybe holding this up, going
you know, hang on, Mike, you know, or whatever. I
don't know that Mike actually is going to be listening
because let's face it, he's on his way out too,
so at this point, I think he's gonna be going
I'm gonna do whatever I want. I don't care what
you say, mister president. You know kind of a thing.

(26:30):
I do know that Ohio is not on the list
to take the flags full staff, if you will. As
of right now, there are eight states that are listed
on inaugura inauguration day to go full staff, to take
the flags up, and almost in defiance, if you will,
but to go, hey, we're welcoming in a new president.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
We're going to put the flags up.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Those four thousand defense jobs they just announced for Pickaway County,
he better play nice. I'm just saying there it is
that's coming from the federal government that can not come
from the federal government just as easily.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Definitely some leverage there the Mark Pleazer Show.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
I'm not much of a horror or movie person, but
I know zach Is and I don't think you are either.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
No, are you No?

Speaker 3 (27:41):
I love suspense, but I can do without the chainsaws
and the blood and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah, And if you know, I don't know, there's some
there are some movies that kind of straddle that they're
they're technically defined, and I don't know which title technically
escaped me right the second.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
There are some that straddle that. Then then you look
at it.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
You know the description, and it'll be like horror, and
you're like, that was horror, you know, kind of a thing. Yeah,
but different types of horror, I guess. But Zach Attack
and I were talking earlier, and there's a movie called
The Woman in the Yard that's going to be coming out,
and it reads, here, is March too early in the
year to get a good scare at the movies? I

(28:22):
would imagine that, Zach. Your answer is no, it's never
too early. No, it's never too early to get to.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Get a good mark. You know exactly what he'd say.
I did. I kind of know it.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
But yeah, this Woman in the Yard, the trailer came out.
I watched it, Zak Attack watched it. And there's a
woman who is her name is Ramona. In the movie,
she's grieving after surviving a car accident killed her husband,
and then she lives in this you know, outlying farmhouse
with her two children, and one day a mysterious woman

(28:58):
draped in black appears sitting in the yard, and so
you go, okay, And then in the in the trailer,
the woman in all black, you know, her hands are
shown at one point and she kind of turns them
over slowly and her palms are all bleeding and bloody.
But they don't tell you exactly, you know, what had

(29:19):
happened right there, just that she's draped in black and
sitting in this woman's yard that her husband died from
that car accident.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
But what happens is it's like.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
During it's during the day, right, Zach, It's like during
the day in the sunshine is when this woman is
just sitting out.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
The Yeah, that's what it looks like.

Speaker 9 (29:39):
The trailer does a good job of kind of giving
you a feel of what it's going to be without
explaining the whole movie, like how sometimes previews do.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
It's like too much sometimes at the previous.

Speaker 9 (29:48):
And it's a Blumhouse movie if you don't know what
Blumhouse does. They make a lot of uh not cheap,
but they make a lot of movies for like ten
fifteen million bucks and that's cheap, yeah in movie in
movie terms, right, But then they all make like a
hundred million dollars, like they print money at that place.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
And so this woman is sitting in the yard. Maybe
she's paying weeds or something. That's what's right with her hands,
Just thinking maybe some thistle.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
But listen, she's sitting in the yard and slowly begins
to inch closer to the house.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
So I think, what is it?

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Day after day she discovers they come out and this
woman is just in the yard. And I don't know
why you wouldn't approach somebody. That's the way that the
trailer made it look that. Another day goes by and
this woman is a little closer to your house, so
you're not gonna walk up to this part. I come
outside and there's somebody sitting in the yard. Of course,

(30:42):
you know, I haven't been told by the movie directors
to not do that.

Speaker 9 (30:47):
You get the guy who directed it directed that tsa
movie that you watched all day. I can't remember what
it's called.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Oh carry on, yeah, yeah, oh the same guy. Yeah, Oh,
maybe I'd like it.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Are they in any act? Years of notes in this
film or these all notes?

Speaker 9 (31:03):
I haven't noticed a lot of people get their start
in horror though, especially kids are teenagers and people who are.

Speaker 5 (31:10):
In the twenties.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Danielle Deadweiler is Ramona, who I believe is going to
be a main character in the movie.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Don't know her.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Peyton Jackson and Estella Kahija are the children the two
children thank you, and so. Yeah, it's called The Woman
in the Yard and it's coming out March twenty eighth.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Excuse me, I'm getting a tickle anyway.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
I just thought it was kind of interesting that a
horror movie comes out in March. But there's always some
It seems like every year, right usually around like thanks
or Valentine's Day. Seems like there's always like a horror.

Speaker 9 (31:47):
Yeah, the two damping rounds for horrors, like in August
when it starts getting cold because that's.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Around Halloween, and then.

Speaker 9 (31:54):
Early in the year because that's when a lot of
bad movies are dropped, and a lot of a lot
of horror movies are just bad.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
But they make so much money it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
They're just kind of stick them there.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
I used to like autumn, like September, because that's when
the grown up movies came out. It seemed like, you know,
if you were going to watch something that was a
drama or or grown ups type topics.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah, they always seem to be autumn.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
And I never until you said that just now, I
never actually thought about the fact they probably do release
things based on the season of the year.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah, it's weird, but usually around February.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, it seems like so that's going to be I
guess their Marquee horror movie.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Well, you go see this one. Don't let me know
if I should go see it.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
I won't be going to the theater to spend the
money what it takes to see it in the theater.
I'll watch it on streaming. Wants it maybe, And that's
if I find you know, I got nothing else.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
I miss theaters, I really do.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Oh. I love being to a theater in so long,
But why why not? Obnoxious? I hate obnoxious people. I
just can't too many people. Look, I'm paying forty dollars
to get a couple of tickets to a movie. You
are not in your damn living room, are not sitting
on your sofa?

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Shut up, shut up, shut.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
That's how I usually feel during a movie, right, I
go to a theater, So I don't want to feel
that way, so I just don't go.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Well, if I may say, leave the West Side when you.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
Go, that's actually that's actually been up on your side
of town, buddy, ooh sick burn you got me?

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Children, children, you know.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Funny, I don't experience that seriously, and kicking seats and
adults talking through the movie as if.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Now, hold on, have you been since the pandemic? Really
to any.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
Since pandemic time?

Speaker 1 (33:33):
I've tried twice, okay, because I have no problem whatsoever,
and we average a couple a month roughly. I will,
I will really say, I really I want to see this,
Do I really?

Speaker 6 (33:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Because I like I will even if I'm teetering and
it's in the theater, I'm like, I kind of want.
I'm going because I like going to the movie. I
love going to the theater. I'm so I'm with you. Yeah, yeah,
I guess I'm what is the word for it when
you just like punishment massacres because because you go there
and you have the whole plan with you, are you

(34:06):
freaking kidding me?

Speaker 2 (34:08):
To one hundred dollars?

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Oh yeah, wheeze. The last time we went because you know,
movies are luxurious. Now, so me and the queen and
the princess, and she wanted to see what did she
want to see? This was three people? It was some
video game movie which I didn't want to see, but
she wanted to, so we go and then they want
to get burgers and fries and stuff. Is that Ryan
Reynolds one hundred and sixty dollars? By the time, I'm like,

(34:31):
we just saw a movie and ate bad food. One
hundred and sixty dollars. We could have went to the
grocery store. That's nuts, man, No, I'm with you, absolutely crazy.
Get me some popcorn and get out of the way.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Remember we were talking about Kenny G.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
By the way, Yes, I feel like we're doing Saturday
morning open phones here, just bouncing around.

Speaker 7 (34:49):
But Mike, are you there?

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Mike?

Speaker 1 (34:52):
This better be good. You're bringing up Kenny GM. Yeah,
you're welcome.

Speaker 7 (34:56):
I called yesterday and con truck. At the end end
of this shift, however, I heard you.

Speaker 8 (35:03):
Guys talking about saxophones and Chuck now loves Kenny G.
I then heard, ironically on a.

Speaker 7 (35:12):
Station FM station in Newark that Kenny G will be
at the Midland Theater in February.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Yep, how many people does that hold?

Speaker 4 (35:24):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (35:24):
God, is very intimate.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Yeah, it's very old.

Speaker 7 (35:30):
Maybe maybe two hundred.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
People, two hundred.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
No way, Kenny G is in a two hundred seat auditorio.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
Seeing crazier things. I remember when Helen Ready played a
high school here in Central Ohio.

Speaker 7 (35:47):
Midland Theater is a great place to see sea bands.
It really is.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
The acoustics are great.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Yeah, you can smell what you can smell? What the
odorant they're wearing? Geam and a Christmas two hundred seats?
It's crazy. I can't believe Kenny g is performing there.
That's nuts. Oh okay, Zakata, Zakata, hold on, Mike Zachta
just said it's eighteen hundred, not how many people can

(36:13):
fit in there.

Speaker 7 (36:17):
I was gonna say, yeah, maybe two hundred. Chuck Douglass
can fit in there.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Oh, thank you so much. I'll send the boys over
to discuss that remark.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
Uh, Mike, thanks man, Kitty g Let me see.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
They've also got the great ladies of swing. I would
probably enjoy that Gallantine's Day, which I'm assuming is a
woman's Valentine's Day thing, because I'm not a gal.

Speaker 6 (36:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
Lindy Leslie Mendelssohn, dirty dancing in concert, magic rocks, illusionist,
uh Leon at the end, Honey in Blue and get
the lead out, which is they led Zeppelin tribute.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Well, I'd say, Kenny G is a big fish in
that small pond, you know, yes.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Yes, out of it everybody there it is, Kiddy G
would probably be the biggest.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
All right, what foods have the red dye three in them?
My wife brings, so, she brings, She brings this up
last night to me. She goes, hey, have you seen
It's just funny. I was like, I like, look over
at her, and I'm like, you know what I do
for a living, of course I've seen this. She goes,
did you hear about the red dye? I go, yeah,
I said, honey, they outlawed that in makeup in nineteen

(37:26):
ninety from what I was reading, So, why has it
taken this long to get to the food and has
anybody proven that it does cause cancer?

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Since the seventies, there's been one red dye or another
that they've been trying to eliminate as well as you
remember sacrin? Are you old enough to remember sacharin? Sure?
That was the pre pre splendor sweetener. Yeah, which my
mom used to always be on a diet, which I
don't know how she ever put that stuff in anything
that was Oh, it was horrid. But that's what Americans

(37:55):
were using back then for weight loss. Then they found
out it was going to kill you. The red dyes
were going to kill you. Yeah, something's always gonna kill you.
But we you know, we try. The Queen has eliminated
the red dyes as much as possible. We even get
like the natural water completion suns and stuff for the kids.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
So you guys actively pursue trying to eliminate Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
I mean there's when it catches you because something's not red.
Red dye is not always because it's a red product.
Sometimes it's brown or it's something else. But the red
dye is a component in there. So we're trying. But man,
you really have to read the small print. Man Pez
assorted fruit. I'm safe there. I haven't had a I

(38:36):
don't know the last time I had PEZ. I don't

bummed that that.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
I'm like, they put wait a minute, they put red
dye to make the cherries redder.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
I guess it's like, man, now that's.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
Just greedy, Yes it is. That's too much red for anybody.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Strawberry flavored you who.

cold or whatever. You need to get those electrolytes up,
get some fluids in them. They yeah, that's that's not right.
Oh No, pedas Shore is old people stuff.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Oh is it not a light kids?

Speaker 8 (40:38):

Yeah, yeah, so that's just the old people. It's okay,
go ahead and put it in there.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Chuck. Yeah, they're close to the end anyway, So what's
the matter.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
I mean, I think I've got some Pediashore on the shelf.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Largely, you're eliminating those years they really don't want anywhere
you go. So yeah, largely it's banned, by the way,
in European Union, Australia and New Zealand, that red number three.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
It's already been banned over there. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
By the way, what are your favorite bands played at
the Midland. I'm going through their list of acts to
perform at the Midland Theater. B fifty twos is on
the list.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
Oh oh, that's the original with Fred and yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
It looks like it.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
Phoebe King's been there, bill Ingwall Bill Cosby, you know
in America in.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
The middle of the Love Shack, in the Love Shock,
when they go do you know what they say?

Speaker 3 (41:26):
Right, it sounds like it says something busted, But I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
Ten roof rusted.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
Oh well then it don't makes sense. Now, rusted, close
down the libraries. We have all the information we need
for the continuation of mankind.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Well, they have a ten roof on the Love Shack
and it rusted. So that's why they were saying, like, also.

Speaker 3 (41:46):
Got me a chryst slow. That's how Vegas so wow.
But you know I wouldn't have one of those either.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
Blazer Show podcasts on six ' ten WTVN dot com. Well,
we're headed for the d freeze and we got a
few days before we get to that. Chief Meteorologist Marshall
McPeak joining us now. And here's the thing, Marshall, I'm
struggling because there are a couple of things. I'm really

(42:12):
I don't think I've ever looked forward to a Monday
my entire existence. This However, this Monday, I'm looking forward
to the inauguration. I'm also looking forward to our beloved
Buckeyes playing in Atlanta, which where I saw is going
to be thirty three. However, the part that is hard
for me is the fact that we're single digits for

(42:33):
the high on Monday, and this is going to be
absolutely brutal.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
But yeah, I think I.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
Said you're gonna start below zero in the morning. Oh man,
you just creak when you're old like me, and that
is and it's not a good creek.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
Yeah, it's one of those old haunted how Scooby Doo
sound effect.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
Chris, you're listening for Vincent Price to be laughing like
while I'm.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Well, yeah, I'd have been able to stand up from
bed too, if it weren't for you, meddling knees.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
You meddling kids.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Yeah, old man, always old man.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
With she pulls the mask, it's all mad Weathers. Doesn't
matter what was going on, it's always him.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
And why didn't she just get a thing for her glasses,
just to hold the glasses on. That's something I always
even as a kid. I'm like, Daphney Day, make them up,
put the strap to hold her glasses on.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
She's going to lose them. While she's running or whatever. Yeah, anyway,
what happened?

Speaker 2 (43:34):
Where did we go? This happened so much.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Rot row So twenty three overnight Tonight will be mainly overcast,
Tomorrow partly cloudy. We're gonna do some melting. We'll get
to thirty seven degrees. We'll get a little sunshine between
the clouds, so the direct sun on the snow plus
a stiff breeze is gonna help do some of that melting.
Then on Saturday it's rain, and that's gonna do even
more melting with a high near three eight degrees. But

(44:02):
then it gets cold, so what's wet Saturday night refreezes.
Sunday is gonna start kind of icy, and we'll get
some flurries during the day.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
And then.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
I'm not even sure I'm gonna call it arctic anymore.
I think I'm gonna start calling this antarctic. I mean,
it's just it's seven on Monday, eight on Tuesday, overnight
lows below zero and wind chills double digits below zero.
Next week is gonna be an adventure.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
We're all over one hundred this summer.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
Everything evens out, we're gonna hit one hundred in since
the while this summer.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Polar bears be happy on Monday and Tuesday in this area.
We might see some walking down the road. You just
never know that might be us. Marshall, thank you. It
is twenty nine right now. Let's bring in from ABC
News Alex Stone and Alex I don't know if you
heard any of that.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
As far as the forecast goes here.

Speaker 5 (44:57):
For sure, it's gonna be cold.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (44:59):
That last part of it.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Marshall was just telling us that the high on Monday
is seven here literally literally the that's the air temperature,
that's not a wind chill.

Speaker 5 (45:08):
And you're gonna get snow.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Seven Well, now, flurries Sunday night.

Speaker 5 (45:13):
We would love some flurries right about now.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
Oh yeah, you guys would love seven degrees quite frankly.

Speaker 5 (45:17):
Yeah, we'll take that too.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
That would really help out.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
You guys could use a nice week of that basically
out where you're at. But we're looking here. So for instance, today,
well the last couple of days in the morning, we've
been around windchills around minus one or zero or so
one above in the morning, and then today it's up
to thirty one, and then tomorrow thirty seven, then thirty

(45:41):
eight Saturday, then twenty two Sunday and boom seven and
eight on Monday and Tuesday, and so yeah, it's really
crazy our our wild roller coaster ride or weather.

Speaker 5 (45:54):
How do you live in California? Bull? How do you
guys live in Ohio? At degrees? That's crazy?

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Are you know?

Speaker 3 (46:00):
I'll bundled up to take kids to school this morning,
thinking it's like one degree or whatever. I get outside
and it's like twenty one. I'm like, took off the hat,
open the jacket up. It's twenty one degrees. I'm good,
busted up Speedo's it felt warm compared to what it's
been it is.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
It's really this is the kind of weather Alex and
I don't know how much you know. You live there
and you've lived although you lived in Denver for for
a while, so you got cold. You're familiar with the cold.
But this is the kind of cold I was just
telling Marshall, it's the kind of cold that hurts. You
literally walk outside when it's that cold and you just hurt.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
And you're like, did did I hurt? You didn't get
stub your foot, You didn't do you'd smash a.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
Hand, You just hurt you're like, man, oh man, your
skin everything's just like what is get inside?

Speaker 2 (46:42):
Were you outside?

Speaker 1 (46:43):
You know kind of a thing. It's it's crazy. And
then if you have any snot in your nose, it
will freeze that kind of a thing. So it's all
that fun. But you know what you're like, hey, listen,
tell me, you know, talk to me about earthquakes and
all kinds of different stuff, which you guys don't deal.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
It's always a trade though, isn't it. It's like, you know,
it's always something.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
And as a matter of fact, speaking of that, you know,
how many times have you heard of wildfires, especially to
the degree you guys are having them right now, and
thank god they're starting to at least die down. But
you don't really hear about that in Ohio in this area.
So that's yet another thing we don't have to deal with.
But so speaking of that, what, oh my gosh, man,
to continue to watch this the devastation and all the

(47:24):
famous people, and you think about all the things that
are lost in these fires. You know, we were, you know,
Mel Gibson was he was on with Joe Rogan and
talking about his house I think was getting ready to
burn or burning while he was doing that or something
along those life. And then you see all these famous
people that and you think about all of the cool
stuff that maybe they had in their homes from their

(47:47):
careers and so on that may be gone.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Now it's really sad.

Speaker 5 (47:50):
Yeah, a lot of it is gone. And then you know,
because then the focus is on the celebrities and in
the rich area of Pacific Palisades, but then they eating
fire in al Dina. That's like any neighborhood anywhere, you know.
Those are small bungalow homes that were built probably in
the early you know, in the nineteen hundreds, nineteen fifties
with older appliances in the maybe twelve hundred square feet,

(48:14):
and those are just regular neighborhoods. The people who are
plumbers and just working all everyday jobs and they've lost everything.
I wish I could say rain was coming. We thought
maybe a little bit of rain was going to be
coming in tomorrow, but now it won't maybe a little
bit drizzle. The winds will change at least, so we
get a little bit more moisture and that's going to
help out. So we're going to get a couple of

(48:36):
days of a break here and then right back to
it next week on Monday, the sant Ana wins come
back or Sunday night, and then here we go again.
This is LA's fire chief today saying, there are.

Speaker 9 (48:46):
More extreme winds on the horizons, like I said, next week,
and our community needs to remain ready.

Speaker 5 (48:52):
So they're hoping to give the firefighters who have been
on the front lines for nine days now NonStop, the
original fire teams give them a little bit of a
brain over the weekend because there's so much help now
here from I mean as far away as main Israeli
firefighters arrived today, Mexico and Canada they've sent there's so
then the other weird part of this is even without

(49:13):
rain today, there was a home in Pacific Palisades that
was ripped apart by a landslide and they don't know how.
We haven't got any rain, but they think that broken
water mains or lines from the fire when they melted,
that that had water running underneath the home. So had
a family gone back into that, they would have been
in it. And it broken half. It just slid down
the hill and broken half, so it had survived the fire,

(49:34):
but then it didn't survive this. So it's just a mess.
People are angry at the roadblocks up against a National
Guard yelling at them to let them in, that they've
been out for a week and they want to go home.
But there's still And I was on the Pacific Palisade
Fire all day yesterday and then the day before on
the Eating fire. There's just down power lines and nails everywhere,
and power poles all over the place, and firefighters engines

(49:55):
that are parked all over and linemen and kudo to
them there working sixteen hours a day, the linemen to
get power lines cleaned up and power poles cleaned up.
Just a mess. This is a La Sheriff's deputy, Bike
Gloom telling us.

Speaker 8 (50:09):
We have open gas lines, we have exposed water lines,
and so very evaluating each property to determine if it's
safe to enter.

Speaker 5 (50:19):
And yesterday we were outside of a home mark when
the team of Urban Search and Rescue came up and
they started looking through the home for human remains, and
they had rakes and they were very quiet raking through
the remains of the house right along the ocean. It
was right along the Pacific Coast Highway and the ocean
was right behind the home and they were looking through.

(50:39):
So there's still a lot going on. But people are
understandably getting angry. They want to go in, they want
to see what's left. They if their home is still standing,
they want to go home. But there's still a lot
going on.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
What is the latest on?

Speaker 1 (50:51):
You know, we're seeing little drips and drabs, different stories
and so on. You know, it's different dot coms and
so on putting about like arsonists and stuff. Because there's
I'm saying, some of these things are absolutely they're not
mathin as they say. The math ain't mathin with regard
to you know, you know you have a neighborhood where
there's still green, uh, you know, trees and some structures

(51:13):
are still there, and I don't know if you've even
witnessed any of that. Again, you're going to be somebody
who's scanned through or been part of this from the city.

Speaker 5 (51:20):
It's it was the wind, so I mean the not
that started it, but the reason why some areas burned
and some of it didn't, It went with the wind.
But the ATF is in charge of the investigation in
the Pacific Palisades fire. They say they have no idea
right now. There are a lot of rumors, a lot
of misinformation that's out there. Did they say, well, here,
this is the the agent in charge, and he says

(51:41):
that they are using They've brought in their national response team.
They're looking at burn patterns. They've got biologists, chemists, all
kinds of experts as part of the kind of like
an NTSB team after a plane crash try to figure
it out.

Speaker 8 (51:52):
Investigators are looking for remaining fuels and surviving fire patterns,
as well as fire patterns on non compulsible materi such
as rocks, cans, bottles, et cetera.

Speaker 5 (52:03):
They don't know on that one yet. The other one,
the Eaton fire, looks like it was probably early indicators
are and some believe that it was problems with southern
California Edison's lines or high tension lines in one hundred
mile an hour winds, and quite often in California it's
power lines that they created these wildfires. There have been
smaller ones where they've made arson arrests, but very quickly
firefighters got those out. You know, a lot of them

(52:25):
have been like homeless people doing things that you know,
for whatever reason, and they've been able to get them.
But on the two big ones. The one looks like
it's starting to go toward power lines. The other one.
They just don't know. They don't see any sign that
it's arson. There's a lot of people in the neighborhoods
who believe it is, but the ATF says that they
haven't seen any evidence that it is. They just they

(52:45):
don't know what it is. They're not leaning in any
one way.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
There was a guy. There's also footage.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
It was like, I think it was a homeless guy
or whatever that had like the blow torch and chuck
you were telling me about.

Speaker 5 (52:55):
It was a Franklin fire. He's an actor. Small fire.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Yeah, there was a guy that confronted him who's an actor,
which I didn't know who he was.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
Yeah, okay, Alex, I'm assuming you kind of run in
the semi same circles with your colleague's Zorene Shaw.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
She is not one of the big stars of Hollywood,
but you know, an ABC News reporter. First night in
her new house and it burned down after having one
night with her husband in her new house.

Speaker 5 (53:23):
Yeah, I was so proud of the house too. I
was at a Christmas party about three weeks ago. Well,
I guess longer than that. It was about a week
before Christmas, and she and her husband were telling me
all about this home that they planned to retire, and
they closed on it on Christmas Eve. I believe and
burned down that.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
My heart just breaks because as someone who reports on it,
she is a sidelight. She's not Mel Gibson, she's not
a big celebrity. And I saw that story and I
just between that and the David Muir clothes pin thing,
I was so upset with people picking on David Muir
for he had clothes pins. Mark's looking at me on
the back of his coat. He's television, so the coat
fit nicely made him look good as he's covering the

(54:00):
fire and not talking about the fire. People took issue
with you. You tell him he does a wonderful job,
and God bless him to.

Speaker 5 (54:07):
Let him know. And you ask any TV reporter how
many have clothes pinned their the rain jackets and rain
coverage so it's not all baggy and looking all crazy.
It's a fairly common thing that the people do.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
Yeah, I mean, that's that's just how you do it.

Speaker 6 (54:21):
I guess I.

Speaker 3 (54:22):
Couldn't believe people took an issue with that, with all
that's going right, and that we focus on that covering
this amazing event. These people had to talk about clothes
pins for God's sake.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
All right, Alex Stone, ABC News reporting out there in
Los Angeles, and Alex, continue to stay safe.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
I don't know how much longer you're going to be
on this. I guess probably a little while.

Speaker 5 (54:41):
Still, ye, probably gonna be a while.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Yeah, Okay, very good, Thanks very much.

Speaker 3 (54:45):
Yeah,
