The group of seniors was very very special and how.

They're gonna be able to tell their story because it
is an amazing story it.

Speaker 6 (02:37):
Is, and you've given all the credit, reflective everything toward
the players what they've accomplished.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
But things change.

Speaker 6 (02:44):
When it coaches the national championship coach.

Speaker 7 (02:47):
When do you think that's going to set in for you?

Speaker 9 (02:49):
Oh, I have no idea.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
It's all about these guys and the journey they've been through.
And I couldn't be proud of a bunch of guys.

everybody in Clumbus his sweat.

Speaker 6 (03:07):
The Ohio State Buck Guys National champions, the first of
this twelve.

Speaker 11 (03:11):
Team era, and they knock off in successions Tennessee, Oregon.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Texas, and finally do Tre Dame.

Speaker 7 (03:19):
They stand alone champions.

Speaker 10 (03:21):
Of college football.

Speaker 12 (03:23):
I'm telling you what, if you didn't get up as
a Buckeye fan last night, you can't get up. Thirty
four to twenty three was the final and the buck
guys are national champions.

Speaker 7 (03:36):
Once again.

Speaker 12 (03:37):
He's part of our best Buckeye coverage and it's the
great Jeff Logan joining us now and.

Speaker 7 (03:43):
LOGI, that was one amazing game last night.

Speaker 12 (03:47):
As a matter of fact, I don't feel like the
score really reflected exactly how close it was.

Speaker 7 (03:52):
If somebody was just looking at the score.

Speaker 10 (03:55):
Yeah, I talked to somebody that checked into the game
in the third quarter and like, wow, I guess we're
killing them, and then all of a sudden it became
a game. But thanks for that intro, goosebumps all around
for the excitement for this football team. It's really exciting
what they went through. The path that they had was
the hardest of any of the teams that were in

(04:17):
the final twelve, and they won every game in a
convincing fashion.

Speaker 12 (04:21):
Well, and then we can go to and we'll get
back to the actual game. But what about the gal
driving the golf cart afterwards that ended up like she
ended up because she didn't make the turn or something
and ended up like crashing into a wall or something.
And I saw the footage the wheel came off and
nobody got hurt. But I was just like, well, that

(04:41):
was really bizarre.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
Did you say that?

Speaker 10 (04:44):
Well, it goes to show you you control the things
that you can control, other things or out of your control.
And Ryan Day doesn't go anywhere without security anymore. So
I'm a little surprised they let him jump in a
golf cart.

Speaker 7 (04:57):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 12 (04:59):
It was, Oh my gosh, man, from start to finish,
what an amazing game for the buck Eys.

Speaker 7 (05:05):
And let's start with Marcus Freeman.

Speaker 12 (05:08):
Your heart goes out to him as a former buck
Eye clearly, and you know he's been there a couple
of years with the Irish, the fighting Irish of Notre Dame,
and you're at points I don't know if you saw
at at going into halftime. I was even texting with
some people who were at the game, and I said, man,
it looked like he was really upset. Now I don't

(05:31):
want to say on the verge of tears, but when
you know, he just looked dejected, and he looked confused,
and he looked like he just didn't understand what kind
of was going on or what have you. But clearly
he said some of the right stuff at halftime to
his team. But take me through your thoughts on.

Speaker 7 (05:49):
That whole thing.

Speaker 10 (05:50):
Well, you know, first of all, Marcus almost makes Notre
Dame likable if you understand what I'm saying there, and
he is. He is such a class individual, and he's
doing everything the right way. And I you know, his
walk off at halftime, I think he was shell shot,
just like everybody else on the Notre Dame side was.

(06:11):
And what are you going to tell your football team
when they're trailing like they were at halftime, you know,
twenty one to seven, you know, at that point. And
I thought it was a real challenge for his team
to come out and what were they going to be
able to do in the second half against Ohio State?
And I give him a lot of credit for keep
playing and keep charging. You know, they started the game

(06:32):
off like a ball of fire. I mean, they had
an eighteen play drive. Believe it or not, they consumed
over nine minutes on the clock, and yeah, the quarterback
carried the ball nine times and we knew that was
unsustainable that he you know, excuse me, wouldn't be able
to do that the entire game, but that was their

(06:52):
recipe for success, at least at the beginning. And the
Buckeye defense made some adjustments and basically eliminated anything else
because you know, they had seventy five yards of total
offense and in that drive, okay for a touchdown. They
ended the first half with ninety eight. So after that
first drive, the defense totally shut down.

Speaker 9 (07:12):
Notre Dame.

Speaker 7 (07:14):
Yeah, what do you attribute that to?

Speaker 12 (07:15):
Clearly there were some adjustments made there on the Buckeyes
for the Buckeyes rather and you got to see that.
Excuse me, that first drive. I was in shock myself.
They were just imposing their will. They clearly were winning
the line of scrimmage. I mean it was like every
play these big chunk yards, and you know, with him

(07:36):
just pulling it down running like you said, nine times,
I think he was averaging like fifteen a game or
something like that. I think I heard Fowler say at
one point, but and I was just like, are you
kidding me? He's sick from what he typically averages. Just
on that first drive and to hold on to it
for just under ten minutes, I don't think a lot
of Buckeye Nations saw that coming out and they.

Speaker 7 (07:58):
Scored so easily. Later on, he went off and he
ended up throwing up.

Speaker 12 (08:04):
Was that something then they were talking about he landed
on a football, like, what was that?

Speaker 10 (08:08):
It's so badar I think he was just gassed. I
think he was totally shot at the end of that
period of time and had a physical reaction to you know,
just being you know, like somebody running a race when
they get done, a lot of times they get sick.
And I think that was pretty much the case that
he had just you know, emptied the tank on that drive.
There was no question. But you know the response by

(08:29):
Ohio State when they finally got the ball. They scored
on their first five possessions of the game when they
finally got the ball in their hands, and scored on
six out of eight possessions during the entire game. And
what's really amazing. You think about the length of a game,
and you know it stretched out obviously because of commercials
and timeouts and penalties and everything else that goes on.

(08:50):
But Ohio State only had eight possessions in this game,
and so you have to make every possession count. And
when Ohio State scored on five of their first five possessions.
That was kind of what had been going on throughout
the entire playoff run for Ohio State, and it's just
it's just very impressive with what they were able to complete.

Speaker 12 (09:12):
What was interesting I thought, too, LOGI was on the
turnover when the Buckeyes ended up with the ball in
Notre Dame's territory. They come away with a field goal,
but I think there were some penalties there maybe that
kept setting us back or I'm getting kind of lost there.
I could be off on that, but that to me
because when they turned it over and we were in

(09:34):
their territory, I go, oh my gosh, they're gonna break
this wide open right now, and we're gonna have to start,
you know, collectively waking up buck Eye Nation in the
second half and go, hey, they score it again, wake up, cheer,
do something.

Speaker 10 (09:48):
You know exactly. Yeah, they turned it over on downs
and we got the ball and got a field goal
after that. Yeah, because Notre Dame did not turn the
ball over during the game, but we certainly got a
turnover that we gave to them. When a Mecca and
Buca made a great i think a third down pickup
and took it all the way down inside the red

(10:09):
zone and then had the ball knocked out of his hands.
And that's where the game got really interesting when Ohio
State turned the ball over. And what's really amazing about
this Notre Dame football team throughout the season, there's been
a long one, granted, but they had turned the ball
over gotten turnovers nineteen times. They led the entire country
and Ohio State only turned the ball over that one

(10:31):
time in the game, and I think that ends up
being the difference maker.

Speaker 7 (10:34):
Did you envision this?

Speaker 12 (10:35):
And I was talking to Roy about this too, you know,
a couple of different times. He was on with me
and I haven't been able to talk to you, but
you know, after that whole loss to that team up north,
and be honest, did you envision last night being where
the Buckeyes would be?

Speaker 7 (10:52):
And that's on the national championship stage.

Speaker 10 (10:54):
I didn't believe, you know, seventy two hours after that
debacle against Michigan, there was no way that anybody. I
don't care if you're the lunatic fringe of Herb Street
or you're the regular Buckeye fans that are out there,
I don't know how you could have felt positive about
your football team, your coaches, anything at that stage because

(11:15):
of that performance. But there was a coming together of
the team, of the coaches, of the leadership of this team,
and they decided they were going to put the pass
behind them and try and build a new future going forward.
And that's exactly what they did. And so I think
the key to the whole run of the playoffs and

(11:37):
winning the national championship was the response of Ohio State
in Week one of the playoffs when they hosted Tennessee,
because that was a game that if they came out
flat in that game, you might understand it because of
the loss against Michigan, or if they come out and
roar like they did, you would understand that these guys

(11:57):
really do have a brotherhood. They really do have a culture,
They have character, they have what it takes to be
able to win games. We know they have the athleticism,
that's not the question. But can you convert that into
a team that's able to have great success? And I
think they started that with the Tennessee game last night.

Speaker 12 (12:17):
I don't know about you, but I was happy that
there were not three or four more minutes on the clock. Now, look,
I know we ended up That was an amazing pass
to Jeremiah Smith to get us where we needed to
be and basically shut the door. Then hand it off
a couple of times as they're running out of timeouts,
and then you know, get in position and kick a

(12:38):
field goal and put it completely out of their reach,
leaving with whatever it was twenty seven seconds or what
have you. But ye, look, I'd be lying if I
said I was not incredibly worried. I mean what they
began to do there at the very end Notre Dame.
I was like, we just didn't have an answer for that.
Where we gassed? Were we just getting out? I mean,
what was happening there? I just saidmit, what why is

(13:00):
our offense stalling now? And it's just like we look
like a different team during those series.

Speaker 10 (13:06):
Yeah, and I think we got conservative on offense for
all the right reasons. We just needed to consume clock.
With a big lead that we had. It doesn't matter
whether you win by one or eight or twenty, It
doesn't make any difference. Just win the game. And you know,
I had to do some calming in my own household
at that time. But to be perfectly honest with you,
I never felt as though Notre Dame was going to

(13:30):
take this thing into overtime, and that was their best chance.
I mean it was to score again, get a two
point conversion once again. They had two of them already, yeah,
and be able to take this thing into overtime. But
I didn't think it was going to happen. But I
got to be honest with you, I wasn't counting on
our field goal kicker actually making a field goal in
the state of Georgia, which we have a failed yere

(13:53):
to be able to execute at times. But that put
the capra on it. When it was all over and
done with.

Speaker 12 (13:58):
Well, there it is the Buck National champions again. It's
been ten years. Thirty four to twenty three was the final.
And there were some things too, I mean, Herb Street
crying there, basically getting misty at the end. I don't
know if you caught any of that, but I was like, Wow,
there was a lot of things that happened last night
that I just didn't count on, and one of them

(14:21):
was just a convincing way that we finally did shut
the door.

Speaker 7 (14:24):
And that's it. That puts a rap on this season.

Speaker 12 (14:27):
I'm sure the guys are exhausted, they're ready to take
some time off.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
I'm sure of it.

Speaker 10 (14:31):
Yeah, they just flew back at noon today, they arrived
here and they've made an announcement that there is going
to be a championship celebration on Sunday coming up at
noon Eastern time at Ohio Stadium. Parking is free, admission
is free. Everybody is welcome. And you might remember this

(14:52):
when they won the national championship back in two thousand
and two, and it was a day kind of like today.
It was just bitterly cold. And that's and see Grant
saying the Carmen Ohio. You remember this, and that was
during the two thousand and two national championships. So hopefully
they've got something like that planned on Sunday so that

(15:12):
Buckeye Nation that was not able to be in Atlanta
can be part of the celebration that's going to go
on at the Ohio Stadium noon this Sunday.

Speaker 7 (15:22):
It is a very special ending.

Speaker 12 (15:23):
It's a storybook ending, if you will, for Ryan Day
and the Ohio State Buckeyes. He's part of our best
Buckeye coverage. Jeff Logan, thank you very much. Fantastic season.
Great job by you guys. Of course, I'm sure you'll
be back at it again next season with the best
Buckeye coverage.

Speaker 7 (15:39):
But thanks for jumping on with me today. Appreciate you, brother.

Speaker 13 (15:42):
No problem in go Bucks News, Traffic, weather, sports, and
the Mark Blazer Show on six ' ten WTVN.

Speaker 12 (15:58):
Well, there's some crazy weather going on all over As
a matter of fact, I was just looking at New
Orleans in the uh you know, just the area where
all of that horrible stuff having the guy in the
truck and running over and I just saw some footage
and it was like it was the weirdest thing. It
was a white out, crazy snow down there and palm tree, Yeah,
palm trees that were almost bending like the It's like,

(16:22):
you know, meteorologies Sarah conference, I hear giggling now, but
I'm seeing that and that that swath of snow's going
across the Panhandle too.

Speaker 7 (16:30):
I'm like, oh my lord, what's going on down there.
It's crazy.

Speaker 14 (16:34):
I mean, they they had blizzard warnings in New Orleans
earlier today. That's crazy to think about the Gulf Coast
dealing with heavy snow like that, where areas will be
picking up, especially in the Louisiana area up to four
inches or more of snow right now. I actually took
checked some traffic cameras out on the Panhandle, like near Pensacola,

(16:57):
and it looks like something you would see here in
Columbus or in the Midwest. It's unnatural that.

Speaker 12 (17:03):
Then then yeah, also, you know some footage last night,
you know, for the National Championship in Atlanta. I mean
it was you know, they're in the what low thirties there,
maybe even upper twenties, and it was just like to
see that. I'm like, man, the whole country it is
like under like snow and ice right now.

Speaker 7 (17:22):
It's crazy.

Speaker 14 (17:23):
Yeah, I mean the whole Panhandle of Florida is under
a winter storm morning. Because then the biggest concern as
it starts to work gets way like into like Perry County,
and then up in a Jacksonville will be freezing rain.
So they're getting slammed with all that while here and
home we're quiet. We've been dealing with a couple flurries
out there, clouds clearing out, but we're looking at some
of our coldest area yet as once that sunsets, temperatures

(17:46):
are going to plummet below zero where we'll even get
some air temperatures as low as five below and then
when you factor in the wind shills, wind shills will
be twenty degrees below zero. We do have our yeah,
we do have our cold weather advisory that continues for
most of central Ohio, not now some of our northern counties,
like up in Knox County and Marion County, they were

(18:07):
actually upgraded to an extreme cold warning because windshills can
even get as low as twenty seven degrees below zoo.
So a very cold night upon us. But the good
news is it's not gonna last very long. Temperatures will
slowly rebound, so by the time we get to Thursday,
we'll squeeze out a couple of flurries, but we'll be
back in the upper twenties to write in your thirty degrees,

(18:29):
still in the upper twenties for Friday, into the mid
thirties by the weekend, which is going to be closer
to average.

Speaker 12 (18:37):
Oh man, crazy, All right, Sarah, thank you very much.
It is ten right now in New Orleans.

Speaker 11 (18:45):
What is going on forere to handhand or winter weather advisory?

Speaker 12 (18:51):
And then when you see the map too, with the
swath of you know that blue over everything, it's literally
sweeping from west to east. Than it's just like I
was again, I was just watching it, yeah, an hour ago,
and I'm like, what day?

Speaker 1 (19:06):
What is this crazy? Last night?

Speaker 12 (19:10):
It was like during the game at one point, my
wife's like, I gotta go to bed. The kids, well,
the kids, I say, the kids. You know, Josie's not
in school, but you know Stun didn't have school today.
So he's like stand up watching the game with me,
and she's like, I gotta go to bed. She gets
up it really early, so she goes to bed, and
she always takes Esther out, and Esther always goes up

(19:31):
with her.

Speaker 7 (19:31):
But she opened the.

Speaker 12 (19:33):
Door, the back door, and it's kind of dark where
we are. The back's not all really lit up. I
have my back to the door, and she's just like
she starts screaming and she's like Mark Mark. And I
was like, oh my god, a coyote because they trot
around where we're at and I've seen him in the day,

(19:55):
like running by on the snow.

Speaker 7 (19:56):
I'm like, how was that.

Speaker 11 (19:58):
I'm like, what it was a real emergency involved because
if not, I'm coming to your house tonight and I
will give the lecture.

Speaker 12 (20:04):
Dude, I'm not exactly sure what she took off after,
but she ran.

Speaker 7 (20:10):
She started telling me.

Speaker 12 (20:11):
She ran around something else like, and I'm like, if
she so, she's just not you know, we don't have
her on a leash and all of that stuff. Now,
she's pretty docile with regard to that. She just hangs
out right around back and then comes back and she
must have seen it was either I don't know something
she was like, it might have been a pot something, rabbit,
a possum something, but she tore after whatever it was

(20:33):
around Stone went flying out there with no shoes on.

Speaker 7 (20:37):
So he's running in the snow.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Good boy, God, I love this boy. I mean, he
just takes off good and he.

Speaker 7 (20:44):
Comes in and he's like, man, my feet don't feel right.
You know.

Speaker 12 (20:47):
He's like they're burning and they were bright red. And
I was like, you know, I'm like scrambling for my
my uh, you know, my uh. I call him house shoes,
but slippers whatever. Most people go they're not househ I
call them house shoes whatever. I'm ill billy with that.

Speaker 7 (21:03):
I don't know, do you call them house shoes?

Speaker 11 (21:04):
But I actually I call them my slippers. But they're neither.
They're actually a pair of old Walmart tennis shoes. Oh,
they're like this flexible type two. I have four different pairs,
including my Ohouse State slippers that all will not stay
on my feet when I walk. So these these old
Walmart tennis shoes they do, and I can slip them

(21:24):
on while they're tied up.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
So yeah, they're slippers, but their shoes.

Speaker 12 (21:28):
So I'm I'm trying to grab mine because I'm like, man,
I'm not running out there in my bare feet, you know,
in the snow. But Stone didn't even think twice and
he so I ran around the sun. I'm like, out there,
we can't find Then I hear Jenny Filist. She gets
her and brings her in and she Estra's just cowered down.
So we start examining her because I didn't know if
she got bit or and I'm just like, come on, man,

(21:48):
I'm trying.

Speaker 7 (21:48):
To watch the game, you stupid dog.

Speaker 12 (21:50):
I was so mad. I was so mad, but she didn't.
She wasn't bleeding. We were checking, but she was acting
really weird. And then as soon as we were like
are you okay, we're then boom, she goes back to
her normal self. But that was really uncharacteristic. I'm like, really,
on the coldest night of the year, you have to
these shenanigans.

Speaker 11 (22:09):
But that was that's okay. The dog saw something and Ginny,
I will not be lecturing you're good, you did the
right thing. I just wouldn't when when when the family
does that, whether it's wife, kids, whatever, when they screamed
whatever and it's something stupid, Yeah, that makes me When
I hear my name like that, I'm coming out, you know,

(22:29):
with one in the chamber and ready to roll right.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
If it's something stupid, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 12 (22:35):
I grabbed ah, I grabbed a pretty big knife out
of the and I was fully ready to start stabbing,
like a coyote or something. I'm not kidding, because I
was not going to let if that happened. I was
not going to let that thing run off with our dog.
And you know that kind of a thing because you
know how little dogs are, man, they think they're big dogs.

(22:56):
And so yeah, she weighs probably close to twenty pounds
and she's he's thinking strong. But you know, if it's
a full grown coyote that's healthy, she doesn't have a chance.

Speaker 11 (23:05):
And now you know, you put you put your man
in danger. When you call his name and it's nothing
but he goes, he might end up hurting himself or
getting hurt in the Just before we went on to day,
I was watching a video of a seventy some year
old guy in Florida and big eight foot croceror alligate
or something coming out and comes running up into the
yard at you know what the old man did, smacked

(23:27):
it in the snout with a skillet, and that thing
turned around and ran away. Oh I saw that, Like
you go, old man.

Speaker 7 (23:32):
That's not AI. That's real.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Apparently that's a real.

Speaker 11 (23:34):
Yeah, oh man, it's a problem out there in the
Florida Everglades or whatever. He just smacked it in the
snout with the skillet.

Speaker 12 (23:42):
I think those snouts are probably pretty sensitive. And then
you if you catch it square with something like that
and you got a pretty good swing behind it, you know,
I think you could get its attention like it might
go ooh, I'm looking elsewhere.

Speaker 11 (23:55):
You know, before before we because you were talking about
the Buckeyes, and I know everybody's talked about buck guys.
Nobody's saying Ryan, they should be fired, which is good.
But something two things that are near and dear to
your heart that I don't figure on your radar today,
but I want to acknowledge Buckey's championship. Yes, but your
Blue Jackets as well. Did you see them last night? Man?
Now I'm not talking about the score, I'm talking about

(24:16):
the class they showed.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Did you see how they arrived?

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (24:20):
Yeah, and the Buckeyes uniform jersey, and I loved, you
know what whether lost at that point, that was secondary.
I loved seeing that unity of our Central Ohio sports.
You know that they are the meat of what is
sports in Central Ohio, the Blue Jackets and buck guys,
and that just that really warmed my heart to see
them arrive last night.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
That's a lot of respect from them.

Speaker 12 (24:43):
And you know what the diehard Jackets fans are, they
don't want to acknowledge the Buck eyes. Matter of fact,
I've been I've been chastised at nation Wide Arena because
I had on a Buckeye's beanie like a skull cap,
and then my CBJ and some he told me that
I'm cross pollinating and how dare me?

Speaker 7 (25:03):
Some guy was like, You're not supposed to wear that,
and I.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Was like, oh my gosh.

Speaker 12 (25:06):
I was like, uh, you do you man, stay in
your lane. I'm just like, what shut up? And he
was a Jackets fan, but I'm like, come on, dude,
some Jackets fans they're so they're like, whoa if the book,
I was just like, look, the buck guys were here first. Sorry,
and that is our pro team, if you will. But
this city's big enough for multiple proteins.

Speaker 11 (25:25):
And because of both of them is Columbus, Ohio is
known around the country because they exist here so and
maybe because of White Castle. But those three things make
us nationally famous. And I say you, Cherry shouldn't give
him all big hugs and kisses.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Amen, Annakele the Mark Bleezer Show.

Speaker 12 (25:57):
Well, white Castle is bringing back the low for kids
in time for Valentine's Today?

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Does that involve some kind of condiments or what?

Speaker 12 (26:08):
Well, it involves food. It's the love Kit they're calling it.
And well, look, you're gonna have to you need to
be in a hurry if you eat this, because there'll
be no loving going on if you wait too long
after you eat it. If you know what I'm saying,
there'll be no loving. Nobody will be in any mood
for any loven at all.

Speaker 11 (26:28):
And then you have dinner, you go home, lock yourself
in a room together that you you have to be
in love to put up with each other.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
At that point it has to be love.

Speaker 7 (26:38):
Who better invest in those charcoal underwear?

Speaker 11 (26:40):
I know it's winter, but can we turn on the fan?

Speaker 12 (26:44):
So they're ninety nine dollars shipping included and they are
each love Kid is designed to feed up to five people.
It includes three two packs of six original sliders, four
two packs of eight Classic cheese sliders, three two packs
of six Jalipino cheese sliders, one seven ounce pouch with pickles,

(27:06):
and ten strawberry cheesecake desserts on a stick. And you
got all this will be a test later. And then
VIP coupons that can be redeemed for up to twelve
sliders from your local freezer aisle.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
So this feeds up to how many people?

Speaker 12 (27:20):
I don't know it's ninety nine, but all it says
feeds up to five people.

Speaker 7 (27:24):
Up to five people, yeah, depending on how big you are.

Speaker 11 (27:28):
Yeah, because on the west side that's still just a couple.
That's that's really not a five people thing. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (27:35):
House of crave dot com to get these and it's
a white castle.

Speaker 7 (27:39):
Love kids if you want to.

Speaker 11 (27:41):
And why do you want five people in your love kid?
That's kind of kinky castle. I'm just saying, Man, shouldn't
that just be a two person deal?

Speaker 1 (27:48):
I think So there's.

Speaker 7 (27:52):
You see people get married there.

Speaker 12 (27:54):
Yes, on Valentine's Day. Yeah, they'll tie the knot at
white Castle.

Speaker 11 (27:58):
And you can lie to your grandchildren when it. Yeah,
we were married in a castle. Yeah, which technically you
were exactly.

Speaker 12 (28:06):
He's a ABC News technology reporter, Mike Dubuski joining us
now and Mike, I don't know if you're married, but
no offense if you did get married in a white castle.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
We were just kind of pointing.

Speaker 8 (28:15):
Out out I am not married, and I don't know
if white Castle would necessarily be on the menu PO
Central marriages on the way.

Speaker 12 (28:23):
They do that stuff here. I've actually been a part
of one year. It was a stunt when I worked,
you know, music radio back in the beginning, closer to
the beginning of my career, and it was one of
those things. I was part of it because there was
a local TV station that was involved, and so I
was there and you know, sometimes mourning people that do
the morning shows they'll get a you know, so they

(28:45):
can officiate offficiant. However, you say that, so they are
legally allowed to marry somebody, and they'll go and get that.
You can do that online now, and then you were
able to be the minister, if you will, the officiant,
and you can marry and just make it a whole thing,
as a whole radio thing, and then TV gets involved,
and yeah, that's a big it's a big thing. I

(29:06):
don't know if anybody really does that much anymore, but
at one point, I know it was like a big
thing to on Valentine's Day to get married tithing not
at white Castle. So now that screams love like white Castle, right, yeah, of.

Speaker 15 (29:20):
Course, although I will say I went to college next
to a white castle and it was a very popular. Look,
oh yeah, I can understand maybe not great memories there,
but you know, maybe people holding a little nostalgia for it.

Speaker 12 (29:31):
I know people there, you know, it's what you crave,
that's their slogan.

Speaker 7 (29:35):
At least at one point it was or whatever. I
think it's okay.

Speaker 12 (29:40):
My wife at one point really and she goes back
and forth with it. She loves those and I and look,
if you love them and that's your thing. Great, But
I remember one time she was like, hey, we could
get White Castle. I'm like, why there are other places open.
It's not after like you know, I'm used to after
the bars are closed.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
A big food.

Speaker 11 (30:02):
My dad always used to tell me when I was young,
white castles they were five times as big as they
are now and they always only cost a nickel.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
That he always said.

Speaker 11 (30:09):
But then I think about their their marketing phrase back
then it was by and by the sack. Yes, I'm thinking,
if they were five times as big, how did you
buy a sack.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Of these things? Because that would that would be like two.

Speaker 12 (30:21):
Or a grocery sack, like one of the big huge
you know, if it was going to be a hole.

Speaker 11 (30:25):
Now they're kind of like beef chicklets and they're gone.

Speaker 7 (30:29):
They are very small, no question.

Speaker 12 (30:31):
All right, So Mike's going didn't realize we were going
to talk white Castle all the time.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Technology and beef.

Speaker 12 (30:37):
Hey, so let's start with TikTok because uh, some people
are like, well it's kind of working, and no, it's
not working. And my kids the other night they were like, hey,
it's back on, and I'm like, yeah, I'm not exactly
sure what's happening with all of this right now.

Speaker 8 (30:52):
Yeah, it's back, but kind of, I think is the
keyword there. So TikTok shut down a little before midnight
on Saturday over the weekend, ahead of this band taking
effect on Sunday that we've been talking about for several
weeks now. The app, however, gradually came back online over
the course of Sunday, and when users went to open TikTok,

(31:14):
they were greeted with a little pop up message that
actually thanked now President Trump for providing the necessary clarity in.

Speaker 9 (31:22):
Order to do so.

Speaker 8 (31:23):
So this all comes after Donald Trump indicated on his
social media platform that there will be no liability for
companies that host TikTok, and during that flurry of signings
last night at the White House, Donald Trump actually signed
an executive order sort of formalizing that promise, saying that
if you're a tech company and you have an app store,

(31:45):
or if you provide web services to TikTok, we're not
going to enforce this ban, which is to say, we're
not going to hit you with a fine of any
kind if TikTok appears on your service. Now, that seems
to be enough for some tech companies, namely Oracle, and
they're a web service provider. They essentially provide like the
architecture for TikTok to exist on the American Internet. They said, Okay,

(32:08):
that's fine, will allow TikTok back on. That's why if
you have the TikTok app, you can open it today
and scroll for videos just like you did last week. However,
this executive order was not enough for some other tech companies,
namely Apple and Google. Those two companies have not allowed
TikTok to come back onto their app stores, meaning if
you don't have TikTok installed on your devices, you're not

(32:31):
going to be able to download it. So new downloads
are not allowed. I mean, the updates of TikTok are
not allowed. And I think that's largely because these companies
could be on the hook for up to eight hundred
and fifty billion dollars if Trump's executive order is struck
down or reversed or challenged in any way.

Speaker 12 (32:50):
Well, there are a lot of people saying, look, the
last thing he wants to do is start off and
you know, flying in the face of you know, the
Supreme Court or whatever any kind of ruling or then
I also read I don't know what's what right this moment.
But then it was just like, well, Biden could have
signed something that basically said Okay, that's it, no more
to and then there was going to be some sort

(33:13):
of a grace period ninety days something like that, and
then he decided I'm not signing that. I'm passing it on.
Trump can signed it if he want or something. Do
you know about anything with regard to any of that,
because I'm so I'm smoking on all that, not.

Speaker 7 (33:28):
Clear on it.

Speaker 8 (33:29):
Yeah, No, it's it's reasonable because it's a kind of
complicated piece of legislation and a lot of the action,
though the last several days are kind of confusing. So
baked into the original legislation that passed in a bipartisan
fashion through Congress last year, there was a ninety day
grace period that the president could activate if Flight Dance,

(33:51):
TikTok's Chinese parent company was close to selling TikTok but
not totally over the line, like if the eyes were
not dotted and the t's were not the president could
step in and say, hey, you got a little extra
time to just kind of, you know, shore up some
of the details here President Biden formed. President Biden chose
not to do that. However, over the weekend he indicated

(34:12):
that he's not going to enforce any of the sort
of fines or violations that this law stipulated were going
to take effect. On Sunday, he was essentially passing the
decision over to becoming president President Trump. Trump on Monday
signed an executive order extending the amount of time for
a deal to be done by seventy five days. However,

(34:35):
there are some real legal questions over whether he has
the authority to do that, namely, whether an executive order
supersedes this Act of Congress that was upheld by the
Supreme Court not that long ago. So a lot of
stuff left to be decided to hear, a lot of
question marks around this, and I think that's why you're
seeing such a varied reaction from Apple and Google and.

Speaker 12 (34:56):
Oracle, Right Okay, So right now it looks like obviously,
if you're able to get it and use it, they're
not going to come after. All of the individuals are
going to go after I would think more parents. Did
you see a number on what it is for sale for?
Because my kids were going back and forth going, it's
like five hundred billion dollars, you know, like they're saying
all this, and I was like just staring at him

(35:17):
last night, and I'm trying to watch, by the way,
the National Championship.

Speaker 7 (35:20):
I'm like, you know, because this is Buckeye country here,
and I'm like, who cares about any of that? You guys,
shut up. I can't hear the announcers.

Speaker 8 (35:27):
Well, you're not watching the National Championship on TikTok.

Speaker 9 (35:30):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 14 (35:32):
Right?

Speaker 8 (35:33):
But yeah, so we don't have a specific number for
TikTok's you know deal right here, we expect it to
be in the world of tens.

Speaker 9 (35:42):
Of billions of dollars. Right.

Speaker 8 (35:43):
It is a hugely valuable apple. One hundred and seventy
million Americans use it, more than half the country. Those
are eyeballs that can have advertisements in front of them,
and that means that it's very valuable real estate for
an Apple or a Google or a Meta or some
other major investor out there. However, there are big questions
about exactly what any potential buyer would be getting if

(36:06):
they were to buy TikTok, because Chinese government has said
that any sale of this app that includes the algorithm
is a no go. They're not going to allow it
to happen. So you'd be buying TikTok, but you wouldn't
be buying the kind of core technology, the thing that
makes TikTok TikTok that gets people coming back to the app.
So I think that's also a piece of this is

(36:28):
any potential deal is kind of going to be, you know,
have a whole shot through it from the beginning.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
That's crazy. It's a car with no engine, it really is.
That's interesting.

Speaker 11 (36:37):
Hey, the alternative that what's it called red something or
other people were talking about a few days ago.

Speaker 8 (36:43):
Yeah, rest note or if you want to use the
Chinese name, it's Shao hong Shu.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
I'll say red Note. I'll how is it okay?

Speaker 11 (36:55):
When it seems like it's pretty much TikTok with a
different name. It's a Chinese company, Chinese own and operating, right.
I don't understand why TikTok.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Is under a mask on, Yes, don't. I don't get
that at all. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (37:08):
Well, a lot of the people who use TikTok agree
with you, and I think that's why you're seeing so
many young people make the jump from TikTok over to
an app like red Note, which is freely available in
the United States. You can download it from whatever app
store you want. And that is I talked to TikTokers
over the last week or so just kind of about
this move, and what they told me was that, Hey,

(37:28):
if the government's going to take away this app that
I really like over you know, sort of these vague
concerns about national security, then I'm just going to go
jump over to another kind of sketchy Chinese app just
to poke them in the eye a little bit. None
of the concerns that the government has raised about TikTok,
namely the potential for it to be used as a
tool for spying or as a tool for propaganda, has

(37:50):
any freely available.

Speaker 9 (37:52):
Evidence that they've put forward.

Speaker 8 (37:53):
Many of the documents that were put forward in congressional
hearings and the like were heavily redacted, and many of
the TikTok that I spoke to say, Hey, I don't
really care about data security that much because Mike data
is already out there, and I believe that the United
States government has already taken it right, So why should
I care so much that you know the Chinese government
is taking it.

Speaker 9 (38:13):
What have they done for me lately?

Speaker 8 (38:15):
That's the sentiment that at least I'm hearing online about
people moving over to red note. But yeah, it's it's
a it's a weird situation to find itself in. It's
certainly not any more a stable platform than TikTok is
at the moment.

Speaker 12 (38:27):
Hey, I want to point out we're talking to Mike Dubuski,
who's ABC News technology reporter. This is not AI. This
is really him, and he made it. He drove And
I point that out simply because this really is him.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
He made it.

Speaker 12 (38:40):
He drove from New York to Philadelphia and back this
weekend without using his hands. And I got to hear
about this. I'm intrigued, Mike.

Speaker 14 (38:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (38:50):
So I was in a Ford F one fifty Lightning,
which is the electric version of Ford's F one fifty,
hugely popular pickup truck. Obviously, I believe almost fifty years
the F series Ford has been the best selling vehicle
in the United States.

Speaker 9 (39:05):
This is the all.

Speaker 8 (39:05):
Electric version, and I wanted to test out a new
technology that Ford's been adding to a number of its
vehicles called Blue Crews. So this is adaptive cruise control
that speeds up and slows down with traffic. It keeps
you centered in your lane, and you can take your
hands off the wheel on certain pre mapped roads. Ford
says about ninety seven percent of the US highway network,

(39:27):
namely highways that don't have streetlights on them or anything
like that, are covered by this blue Cruise system, and
you can take your hands off the wheel, and the
truck wheel for all intents and purposes, drive itself down
that road. The way it does that is by having
cameras in the car pointed at your face that make
sure you're looking at the road in front of you,

(39:47):
so you can't look out the window, you can't get
distracted by your phone or a book or anything in
the enfotainment system like that, And essentially that ensures that
you're paying attention and you're ready to intervene.

Speaker 9 (39:59):
It's the system fails. So I did this on the
New Jersey Turnpike. The Turnpike is one.

Speaker 8 (40:04):
Of the roads that have been pre mapped by this system,
and I was actually pretty impressed by how well it worked.
I really never felt like it was putting me in
danger in any stretch of the imagination There was only
one instance where I had to intervene with this system
where it asked me to intervene, and it was on

(40:25):
my return trip coming from Philly back up to New
York going into the Lincoln Tunnel, which, if you've ever
done that drive is kind of complicated, kind of makes
sense that it would want a little bit of extra
help there. I would even allow it to change lanes
for me. You can do that without your hands being involved.
You just put on the blinker and it will shift
over into the lane next to you if there's room.

(40:47):
The biggest question I had, guys, was what do you do.

Speaker 9 (40:50):
When that system's activated?

Speaker 8 (40:52):
Because I can't really look out the window, certainly can't
look down at a book or at my phone or
anything like that.

Speaker 7 (40:57):
Can you wear sunglasses?

Speaker 8 (41:00):
You can wear sunglasses.

Speaker 9 (41:01):
They say it'll work with sunglasses on.

Speaker 8 (41:02):
I personally didn't for what it's worth, But they say
they can figure out a way to you know, look
past the sunglasses and see that you're keeping your eyes
on the road. Oh, but ultimately, like, what do you
do in that scenario? It's kind of like sitting on
a plane with no magazine or in a train with
no thing to look at right, you're kind of just
sitting there. But yeah, it's a pretty impressive piece of technology.
But another piece of this guy is that the National

(41:23):
Highway Traffic Safety Administration is actually investigating Blue Cruise. They
then opened a probe and just this week they expanded
that probe too. It was one hundred and thirty thousand
four vehicles after two fatal crashes that may have involved
Blue crews.

Speaker 9 (41:38):
So something to keep an.

Speaker 12 (41:39):
Eye on, man, I I you know, sunglasses on, then
you can take a nap because it looks like you're
looking out, but you can paint like, you know, eyes
on the sunglasses so it looks like you're looking at
I was like sitting here thinking to myself, I'm like,
I wonder if you could get pat you could do
that and like false this thing. Although because I could
see me, I mean, I don't know where you're at

(41:59):
on this mic. If I'm sitting there kind of idle,
and I really don't have anything to stimulate me, and
I'm just staring at the road and and I'm not
really in charge of anything. I could see me like
drifting off or what does it like do alarms come
on or whatever?

Speaker 8 (42:13):
Yeah, Okay, so so it will apparently if you look
away for long enough to actually pull the truck over
to the side of the road for you and top
so like, it will intervene. And it was very sensitive,
like even if I like got distracted looking like out
the window, it would beep at you and make sure
you're aware, and it's it kind of shuts everything down
to make sure that you're.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
Playing attention to the road.

Speaker 11 (42:34):
Pretty if I want something in the car to nag me,
I'll just go, hey, dare we want to take a ride?

Speaker 1 (42:38):
I don't need a machine to do it.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
I love it.

Speaker 12 (42:42):
Mike Dubuski, ABC News Technology Reporter. I know we had
you on for a long time, Mike. I appreciate you
hanging with us.

Speaker 9 (42:47):
Brother happy to do it.

Speaker 13 (42:49):
I take care, all right, take care Weather Sports and
the Mark Blazer Show on six tenth WTV. And think
about that guy that performed his own to me and
telling stories at like a party. I was just telling
Zach Like, think about that, Like people are staying around
telling stories and the guy goes, you know what I
did one time.

Speaker 7 (43:10):
He starts telling that story and then we don't lie.

Speaker 11 (43:13):
In piece immediately because nobody wants to hear how it ends.

Speaker 12 (43:16):
No, people are like, he just gets a round of applause.
I mean, think about that for a second. All right,
you'r ABC six First Warning Weather and meteorologists Sarah Converse
joining us now. And it is still really hard all day.
It's bizarre for me to go minus three for the
air temperature for the load tonight.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
You know, it's it's just astounding.

Speaker 7 (43:37):
And then you're getting into double digits for the wind
chill below zero and we but then look, I mean
I'm seeing also by Sunday, Sarah looks like, you know,
we're really flirting with forty for the hot summer weather
advisory this weekend.

Speaker 14 (43:52):
Yeah, we've been joking on the weekends that true Midwesterners
will be pulling out the flip flops, tank tops, you know,
the short shorts. Yeah, no, we are looking at things
to thaw out. So just hang in there. We're gonna
be dealing with a very cold night on tap with
temperatures below zero for the air temperature, but when you
factor in those wind shills, windshills will be in those

(44:13):
negative double digits for your Wednesday, we'll be dealing with
mostly cloudy skies, temperatures in the upper teams. Thursday, we'll
see temperatures in the upper twenties to near thirty degrees
and not ruling out a couple flurries. But yeah, by
the time I get into the weekend, temperatures are gonna
be closer to normal. We'll be in those mid to

(44:34):
upper thirties.

Speaker 7 (44:35):
All right, Sarah, thank you very much. It is eight.

Speaker 10 (44:37):
Man.

Speaker 7 (44:38):
When we went on, it was eleven. It's eight right now.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
It is not a good fight. Eight.

Speaker 12 (44:44):
Hey, Mike, thank you for waiting. Let's go to the
Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone lines. And remember we're
on the radio and it's terrestrial radio and all that.

Speaker 7 (44:54):
Mike, but you have something about the sectomy.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
He yes, yes, sir. So I'm a nurse practitioner at
a men's clinic in Columbus, Okay, and we deal with
men's issues. And if someone says they have to suture
their urethra, that's a problem, first of all, from the effect.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Okay.

Speaker 11 (45:13):
See, I was thinking that too, that the it's fast
deference that run between the urethra is what carries the
urine out.

Speaker 12 (45:19):
So well, I was just reading the story. Yeah, we
got misinformation.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
Yeah, Chuck, Chuck, you're my spirit animal, by the way.
So my story is, oh, guess what I did kind
of on the lines of what you were talking about.
I was using a mandolin slicer one time, and because
of my expertise, Oh no, I slice the tip of
my thumb off. Mandlel slices are very very sharp. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (45:52):
Probably, here's what I'm guessing, like, and I'll let you
tell it. I just I'm gonna interject you. I'm thinking
those things are so you could do that. And they say,
if it's really really sharp, you don't even realize it happened.
For it's on delay in other words, like you probably
didn't even realize and you look down and then you
start realizing, oh my god, I just sliced off my thumb.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
Yeah. Absolutely, So the salibar's ruined. But I know how
to do. I know how to do what it's called
a digital block. So that's where you take numbing medication
and you numb your finger at the base so the
entire finger is numb. And I was not going to
go to the dr.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
I can see where this is going. Yeah, go ahead,
And I.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
Had and I had supplies at home, so I performed
a digital block because it would not stop bleeding. And
I had a spoon in the torch, and so I
cautized the end of my thumb.

Speaker 7 (46:49):
Oh my wo wow wow.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
And it healed up perfectly.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
Wow.

Speaker 11 (46:57):
If I ever get lost in the Ozarks, this is
the guy I want with me.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
Oh yeah, okay, wow, that's awesome.

Speaker 12 (47:03):
Forget about. Forget about. You can take uh, you know,
lighters with you if you're going to be on an
island and you know things that are sustained, like you
want Mike with you.

Speaker 7 (47:13):
That's what that's who you want.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
Chuck City.

Speaker 11 (47:17):
So we're right there, brother, all right, hey, it's you're awesome.
You're the kind of guy Chuck Norris looks.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
At and goes, oh yeah.

Speaker 12 (47:25):
So so when you say, by the way, I just
want to make sure I'm understanding. So at the base
of your digit, the thumb, what you administered was the
the inability to feel, to feel the entire digit basically
right when you start down it. Okay, okay, So you're

(47:45):
doing that, you're looking at it, and it's not registering.
You're going I'm burning the crap out of my thumb.

Speaker 7 (47:52):
However, I can't feel it. It's like it's someone else's thumb.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
Yeah, that's I have a surgical background, so that's what
it was. It was a surgical procedure.

Speaker 7 (48:03):
That is really interesting. Impressed anybody video it or anything
like that. I mean, that's fascinating.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
I have pictures. I have pictures. I can send them
to you.

Speaker 7 (48:13):
Well no, no, no, I don't. I don't want to.

Speaker 12 (48:14):
I don't want to see it. And I'm not challenging you.
I'm not saying you're lying. I just thought, well, that
would be really interesting. If you know, people are standing
around showing videos, you go, hey, check this out like this.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
I would have had the guts to cotterize.

Speaker 11 (48:26):
I just wouldn't have had the smarts to numb myself first.
I just you know, thrown the cast iron scalet on
top of the stove and and done it because it
would have to be done. But I wouldn't have had
this smart. Of course it would, of course it would.
That's why I said, I don't have the smarts to
do that part.

Speaker 7 (48:44):
You know, I'm getting worthy.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
I thought you guys were going to kick out of that.

Speaker 7 (48:48):
Yeah, wow, Mike, that's amazing. Man, that's amazing.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
That's but that's that's great.

Speaker 11 (48:55):
Not all as crazy as it sounds, that's great that
this guy's able to do something like that when it
was necessary to be done. People don't have that kind
of resourcefulness. They want to, you know, call nine one one,
freak out, somebody else take care of the problem.

Speaker 7 (49:07):
Well, and it's not.

Speaker 12 (49:08):
It's almost like as far as calling and doing that,
you want somebody who knows what they're doing. That's really
where it stops and starts with me. If you know
what to do already, like Mike, well then why not
do it yourself. He's gonna save hunt thousands of dollars.

Speaker 7 (49:26):
If at least.

Speaker 12 (49:27):
Thousands of dollars, I would think that kind of a yeah,
that just that block alone. If you went to the EO,
I don't even know how they do all that, but
just the medicine and all the drugs involved, you're probably
in the thousands for something.

Speaker 11 (49:41):
Mike, if if, if, if my fate ever turns negative
and I have to show up at the men's clinic
where you are, just do me a favor.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
Avoid the word caught a rise. I don't want that.

Speaker 3 (49:50):
Oh yeah, we don't do that. There, you're good, you're good.

Speaker 7 (49:54):
Yeah, call it, take care of it. Don't call it. Callige.
We're going to take care of it. Just say the
word we.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
Have a little problem. Let me get the propane darts.

Speaker 7 (50:03):
And don't use the word little either. By the way,
if there's nobody wants to hear that.

Speaker 12 (50:08):
You know, you stick your finger through the middle of
it and kind of hold it and bite it.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
Nothing. None of none of them are little, trust me,
none of them.

Speaker 7 (50:16):
I hear you on that. I hear you, Mike.

Speaker 12 (50:19):
Thanks man, fascinating story, Thanks brother, thanks for listening.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
Appreciate it. So yeah, I like Mike me too.

Speaker 7 (50:25):
I want to be like Mike.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
That's that's guy.

Speaker 11 (50:27):
That's guts man, that's really uh, even if you can't feel,
it's just he'd have to watch himself to do it right,
right right, just watching yourself do that had to be
that takes uh, you know, DUTs.

Speaker 7 (50:41):
Yes, yes it does.

Speaker 11 (50:43):
You're looking at me like you want to cauterize something
right now.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
I don't know if I like, oh, oh my gosh.

Speaker 12 (50:48):
Now I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, what do we
segue from?

Speaker 7 (50:51):
You know, blood and all that?

Speaker 12 (50:53):
The ten most popular hot sauces across the country. All right,
that's a good segue. Right, we go from red to
red as in Frank's Red Hot. These are the do
you have a go to hot sauce? You a hot
sauce guy?

Speaker 11 (51:06):
I'm just I'm a Frank's guy. If I'm gonna use it,
maybe I'll go with Tabasco sometimes, but usually Franks, I'm not.
I don't like extreme when it gets when it's so
hot that it hurts.

Speaker 12 (51:16):
Yeah, it's not pleasurable for me. I'm with you on
that Zach attack. Are you you a hot sauce guy
on it? I don't think you are. I think that
kind of stuff messes you up, doesn't.

Speaker 7 (51:25):
Yea with my issues I have?

Speaker 1 (51:28):
Yeah, the bathroom would have to be closer.

Speaker 7 (51:30):
Yeah, I know, I hear you.

Speaker 4 (51:32):
Man.

Speaker 12 (51:32):
Yeah, somebody with yeah, some gi stuff. Yeah no, they
skip the hot sauce. And you know, I don't know
if one bund of time you work, because man, when
I was growing up, I wanted nothing to do with
anything to do with hot sauce at all. And what
I've done is they say, though, your taste buds kind
of dull over time, and they're not as bright if

(51:53):
you will, or they're not as sensitive. So you begin
to add hot sauce to create flavor.

Speaker 11 (51:59):
I think that's one of the reasons people get fat too. Honestly,
as you get older, you get fatter because you've eaten
so many sweet things, so much sugar, that you just
you have to have more to feel like you're still
getting your sweetness.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
Huh. And as you get older, you get fat. I
think that's one of the reasons that makes sense. That
could be part of it human nature. You get used
to something, so you need.

Speaker 7 (52:17):
More of it.

Speaker 12 (52:18):
So Frank's red hot is here on this list. And
then we have siracha. And once upon a time I
like siracha, but not as much now.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
I tried that once and it just that wasn't for me.

Speaker 12 (52:32):
So I was at one of the hibachi places, the tepanyaki,
where they cook at your table, and they have yum
yum sauce and they would squirt siracha in the yum
yum and it would add a kind of a kick
to it. Now I still dig that, but I don't
like just siracha by itself.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
No, I'll put the yum yum on anything.

Speaker 7 (52:52):
Yeah, oh yeah, And he put that on a flip flop.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
Yes, yes, anything amazing.

Speaker 12 (52:57):
Chilula is my favorite, and that that's on this list Chilulas.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
This is hilarious.

Speaker 12 (53:03):
I was in Vegas at a restaurant and said do
you have chilula? Was getting breakfast, I like putting it
on an omelet. I said, do you have Chilula? And
the server out there there's a lot of Hispanics that
work in the service industry, and our server was Hispanic
and he says to me, we don't have it here
at the restaurant.

Speaker 7 (53:23):
But and he reaches in his.

Speaker 12 (53:25):
Pocket and he had like he pulled out a couple
of individual packets of chilula that he keeps with him.
He goes, my personal stash, I will give you two
of these, and he goes, just remember me after the meal,
in other words, tip me. And I was like, brother,
this is amazing. Are you kidding me? I swear dude.
And I was like, oh, I should get some of

(53:46):
that the individual to take to keep with me, you know,
to have with you when you go to a restaurant where.
But that was I was like, that's going up and
above talk about that his service industry r anything Chilula,
That's pretty cool. Berman's never heard of that. This is
the popular hot sauces.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
You know what Burmans is, I'm the letter. Sure, that's
the Aldie brand.

Speaker 12 (54:09):
All, okay, Taco Bells on here, Tabasco, which I like Tabasco.

Speaker 7 (54:17):
I like the green Tabasco too.

Speaker 12 (54:19):
I don't know if you're a fan of that, but
they have that at like Chipotle, Texas Pete. I like
Texas Pete, the Louisiana brand Tapatio. And then there's Valentina.
Valentina Valentina never even heard of that is on here.
We'll grab this real quick. Hey, Ed, are you there
on the west side. Yeah, hey, we got you know,
about ten fifteen seconds here.

Speaker 7 (54:41):
But you got a hot.

Speaker 3 (54:41):
Sauce thing, Yeah, I got a buddy of mine and
we'll eat it as hot as you could put it out.

Speaker 8 (54:46):
He the Triple X all kinds of stuff.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
He went to a restaurant and the waitress talked about it,
and then he talked her into bringing the little taste
and he goes, well, that's not bad.

Speaker 7 (54:56):
Wow, it's called triple X.

Speaker 5 (54:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (54:59):
And there was the reason why the food gets hotter
the farther south you go is it helps with fighting
off food poisoning.

Speaker 10 (55:08):
It kills all that.

Speaker 12 (55:10):
That makes sense. Actually, and thanks man, it's on your
beloved west side.

Speaker 11 (55:14):
Some of that stuff they aid in fighting off conversation too.
Because you get enough, I'll put on your breath. Nobody
wants to get near you.
