Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, we just saw this literally right before we were
going on, and I looked on Facebook too, some people
within about a half an hour ish ago people reporting
some sort of what they're describing as like an explosion in.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
A saw mill between saw Mill and Worthington. Yeah, a
couple of people saying, you know, I work in a bank,
it shook my building and that kind of thing. I
have no idea what it was yet.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Then people are going that was thunder, And I was
thinking to myself, if you're posting that, if you legitimately
thought that and you don't know what thunder is, and
you're trying, what kind of a moron? That's my point, like,
come on, man, how long have you been on this
earth and you don't know if it's thunder that's happening.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
That story we had yesterday what was it miss Kingham
College where somebody overheard something and they thought it meant something,
so they called in the police. The police respond looking
for somebody with a gun. Turned out they were talking
about an incident that had happened long before. There was
no emergency, but in the meantime the troops were called
out thinking they had a shooter.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
What that cost for all hands on deck and everybody
come running.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
That's yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I remember hearing a story about a guy who ran
in the home depot bathroom and said get out, I'm
going to blow this place up, and somebody called the
cops because I thought it was a bomb threat.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
And all it was was he was having a gi Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Just get out of here because it's going to be a.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Problem home depot. I usually don't have to sit down,
but I swear every time I walk into a lowser,
a home depot, or say, any kind of warehouse situation,
for some reason, I walk in the door, it's like
the bladder goes hello, Oh, the first thing I got
to do is find a bathroom before I start shopping.
I don't know why it is, hm, just the atmosphere
and those warehouse type stores stimulates me for some reason.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I've never I've never experienced that on a normal basis.
I've been in those places relatively normal, you know, i'd
say on a monthly at least basis, maybe every three
weeks something, and I have never had that.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Usually the smell of saw dust or something I didn't
know what it was, could be. It's always a necessity.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
All right, Hey, John checking in. Josh, where are you, brother?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Uh, I'm actually on the road right now, but I
had a buddy passage me there a little bit. He
works up there off a sawmill. Yeah, he actually works
at Jermaine Ford. He said a lightning stray hit a
tree right there in the employee parking lot.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
And that was the boom that people are describing.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Now.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I'm assuming, so did he.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Catch fire or well, it's got to be visible because
when it gets struck, if it was alive, it is
now dead, and then there'll be clear evidence, you know,
if that were to be the case.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Right.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Yeah, I don't know if they caught fire. I'm actually
working downtown, but we're part of a chat together and
he's like, yeah, about twenty minutes ago, lightning took out
the tree and employee parking lot and our parks guy
was sitting in the truck right beside of it when
it happened.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Oh my gosh, Well that is right in the area
where it's being reported. I mean, you're right there as
that's on sawmill, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yeah, it's Jermaine Ford right there, sawmill and Billingsley.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right off to seventy yep, yep. Okay,
well Josh, thanks man, appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oie what it was? Then?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Thanks? Brother, Let me grab Dave. Hey, Dave you there.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Okay, I was at Kroger's and everybody inside the store
heard something. They said, got with that thunder, But it
didn't seem like thunder it was. It was tell was
from a distance, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, it
wasn't like right on top of us. But when I
walked out this story, it's cloudy out, a little bit
of sprinkle, but it was like thunderstorm. So it could
have been a spell going through. But which because it
(03:32):
didn't feel like thunder.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Which? Right? Which Kroger you have at Morse Morson.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Call Morse and Carl.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Wow, that's that's where. That's where I was when we
heard it.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Did you just hear the caller before you? Josh called
in and said he had a friend who works at
the Germaine Ford and uh, there was a lightning strike
on a tree that is right there on their lot,
which is at Sawmill and Billingsley right off to seventy
and saw Mill.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
I heard that conversation, but it was weird because we
were just kind of like laughing in the store. All thunder. Okay,
it's it's it's February. We're having a thunderstorm. But but then,
but it didn't seem like thunder, didn't sound like thunder.
It just but you can tell us there wasn't right
on top of us. It was far away. Interesting, we
all heard something. Everybody in the whole store heard it.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Morson, Carl, you heard it.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Huh yeah, we're like up there in the North London area,
in the Northland area.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Sure, okay, okay.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
I just wanted to say that I heard that and
I just thought we heard it too.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Appreciate it, man, Thanks for checking out right. Thanks all right, Hey,
grab me some milk, Dave while you're there and dropping.
Speaker 8 (04:37):
Off down.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Eggs, lots of eggs.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Damn, I missed the joke anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I yeah, you were joking. I need eggs.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, that's a that's something absolutely that would shake if
there was a we my neighbor's house. Have you ever
Just on a side note, when the first l I
ever built, my neighbor next to us his house was
struck by lightning. It went through his chimney and I'll
never forget. It jumped into mine and I had a
(05:13):
new computer at the time, a new member gateway.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Are they still around the gateway. I don't know if
they're still around or not. The Big Cow Box.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yep, yep. They used to they would have their stuff delivered.
They would tell you it was going to be delivered
on a certain day and then they would make sure
it got delivered before the delivery date. That was like
one of their things.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Then it showed up at a Big Cowbox. So everybody
in the neighborhood that was stealing stuff knew what was
on your porch.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, this was before porch pirates quite frankly, but that's
anyway that I had just gotten that thing and it
went through. It killed an Xbox that I had, and
it killed that. A whole bunch of electrical stuff happened
in my house. But it jumped literally my neighbor's house
was hit by lightning. Man, It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You would think the grounding of the house or something,
would you know, if it hits the house, it goes
into the ground, it doesn't affect you. Yeah, that's weird
that it came to your house.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Too, that jumped over. Yeah, really really weird. Scott, you know,
thanks for checking in. What the boom sound that we're
talking about?
Speaker 9 (06:13):
Yeah, I'm I'm at around twenty three and two seventy
and it's just little residential neighborhood just southwest of there.
And I couldn't believe how it made my wind My
windows rattled, and I thought it had to be like
right next door to me.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 9 (06:29):
I like, I'm like a mile couple miles away from Sawmill.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, I know exactly where you're where you're talking about. There,
you're in uh kind of towards uh Old Worthington.
Speaker 9 (06:39):
Yeah, now and Reeber and Wilson Bridge Road. Oh like yeah,
quarter mile west of High Street on Wilson Bridge.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, you're still a little north of Worthington. I guess there, right,
I mean.
Speaker 9 (06:50):
That was that was intense. I've never heard any If
it was really that far away that that had to
be huge.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That's crazy. Yeah, So you never did you didn't see anything?
You can't figure out this is the first you heard.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
Okay, my windows rattled, and I thought I went outside
to see if there was a tree like down next
to my house or something, but okay, nothing.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
All right, Scott. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I'm just reading this thread that I initially found on
Facebook where somebody said something about it.
Speaker 10 (07:16):
All.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh, I'm in Pickerington. I heard a loud explosion about
half an hour ago. Thought it might be thunder. Snawfer
and sawmill sounded like a loud thunderclap here thunder in Westerville.
So I mean this Pickerington really, Leona?
Speaker 11 (07:30):
Are you there right?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Hey? Tell me what you heard or what you know?
Speaker 8 (07:33):
I just heard the big boom on SOO. As a
matter of fact, I was in bed, but I recognized
it as thunder. I knew it was thunder, but it
only lasted for just a couple of minutes and that
was the end of it. It wasn't like a ruling thunder,
you know what I mean? Yeah, one big noise.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Hey is this our ninety plus year old Leona friend?
Speaker 8 (07:53):
How did you know?
Speaker 12 (07:53):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I remember you absolutely And if I could ask again,
what how? What was your age again? Three ninety three? Okay?
Speaker 8 (08:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, is this blazer?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yes? It is?
Speaker 8 (08:05):
Okay, Well I don't I don't remember telling you that.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Oh yeah, you were on with us one other time
and yeah you told us.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
About that, and uh, probably so I'm getting older every day.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Well, yeah, we all are right.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
That's a blessing.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
I know, it is a blessing to be up every day,
believe me.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So yeah, so you heard that sound as well, and
you were like.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
What the head? Yeah it was. It was pretty loud,
but I knew it was sundering. As a matter of fact,
I think one of the weathermen's earlier had said we
may have some thunder today, So that wasn't so unexpected.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You know, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
Well nobody got hurt out there where the tree or
where where that happened down there on saw Mill. I
forget what you said.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, yeah, Sawmill and Billingsley right there, two seventy and
saw Mill. Yeah all right, well Leon.
Speaker 8 (08:51):
Okay, thanks? And what happened? Were Josh? You hear from
Josh C?
Speaker 1 (08:55):

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Oh, you're in Delaware, so you heard this sound too.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (09:19):
I was a Liberty Road just as you get into
Delaware and I heard it and it did not sound
like thunder.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
It was a boom.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, like a different kind of boom, not like because
that's the thing that people are talking about. I think
it's thunder, and some people are like, it's not thunder.
It's like, how do you miss it?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Lightning hid the tree is what everybody's reacting.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah, yeah, like what was that again?
Speaker 13 (09:46):
It was a very low rumbled like what going, Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Me with you saying you're breaking up.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I'm sorry, I can't hear you're breaking up?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Mark Nicole in Sunbury? Are you there, Nicole?
Speaker 10 (10:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
They good. So did you hear the boom?
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Well I did not, but my husband called me.
Speaker 14 (10:09):
I'm out running errands and we live up by the
Tanger outlet, and he thought it sound like a sonic
boom le jet.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Okay, wow, this is interesting, all the different takes on
what people are perceiving this at.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
You know what, I think it's cute in this technological age,
when we have all of these hundreds of things, something
this simple gets people talking. I love that.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
It's really great. Yeah, it's out of the ordinary.
Speaker 11 (10:33):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's February, so people are people aren't suspecting this was thunder.
So then you get sonic boom, like from a jet.
And then you have somebody who initially reported this that
it was a lightning strike into a tree at the
Germaine Ford lot right there at Billingsley and Sawmill.
Speaker 15 (10:51):
Yeah, you wouldn't think you'd hear it that way up here.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, that's you're right, that's quite a ways from there.
What is that? That's probably what fifteen.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Miles about twelve maybe, yeah, something like that. I don't
even know. How do you judge that? How do you
judge the strength of lightning? Do they have a meter
that judges like the power of a lightning strike?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Probably?
Speaker 14 (11:10):
Yeah, it depends on how how far out your hair
goes from your head.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah yeah, Mark and I do not have that barometer
available to us.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I barely have a brain in my head, Nicole, let
alone that there is no here, Nicole, thank you.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I've never been hit by lightning. But once many years ago,
back in the nineties between radio gigs, I was selling cars.
It was a particularly future day, heavy rain and so forth,
and I'm standing out in front of the dealership, praying
some idiot will come out by a car in the
rain and lightning struck and it like right in front
of me. It did not hit anything. There was no
contact with the asphalt or with the thing around the lot,
(11:50):
but it was right and I literally felt the heat
against my chest of that lightning. Oh my gosh, that
was intimidating.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I'm having I'm getting so much response now, like I'm
having people text me friends. So Andrew who owns Columbus Trees,
the big tree's trainy Price.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
That guyting to go up and replace that tree and
got hit by the Lightninglish.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, Andrew, Yeah, you got to get up there and
replace their tree. It's your main Ford. Uh no, he goes.
He sent me a text. He goes, heard thunder and
Sunbury about thirty minutes ago. And then another buddy of
mine just playing Mark. I like to call him. Good
to hear from you, brother, Glad you're listening, and he goes,
sounded like thunder. He's in Worthington. So, man, we're getting
(12:34):
so many reports, different reports about what people are here.
Let's get one more here. We got people lining up Mary,
are you there?
Speaker 7 (12:41):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (12:41):
Yeah, up here.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So what what did you.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Hear here too?
Speaker 11 (12:44):
I mean, have you noticed it is so dark?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah? What'd you hear?
Speaker 11 (12:48):
Broad? Okay, okay, I'm facing west and I kept hearing
about three times now, real low rumblings, you know, like
sometimes you hear a storm coming in from the west
part of the country. Sure comes kind of rolls across. Yeah,
that's kind of what I was hearing, like a real
low grumbling sound. I haven't heard it for the past
(13:11):
five minutes since I've been hold of course. But yeah,
and it's so dark, I mean, and then to the
left you see kind of like the sun a little bit.
I mean, but it's real bright over there, kind of
but it's almost like I'm sitting on top of the
storm system or something. It's very weird.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That is interesting, and uh, Mary, thank you, Thanks to everybody.
We people. We'll keep taking these calls because I think
it's interesting. Everybody's take.
Speaker 12 (13:46):
Boom boom boom boom.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Nice bang bang bang boo. There's a boom boom, boom
boom on the north side.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Bang bang bang bang.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
All right, let's get I'm gonna grab a couple of
calls here before we get to the bottom in the hour, Christian,
thanks for waiting. So what did you hear or see
or so on?
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Yeah, so my wife is asking me about a mile
north of that Germaine dealership there, and I swear if
it wasn't for his description of it being lightning, I've
questioned it too. Now she texted me and said, uh, hey,
lightning or something thunder just shook the house. And probably
about four or five seconds after I get that text,
I was over in Harlem Township north of New Albany.
(14:27):
It shook the shop that I was at there. So,
I mean it's and it was. It's not like your
typical lightning where it's that long rolling sound.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
It was just a sharp crack.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
So yeah, it's pretty impressive.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
It's hard to believe that it's carrying around even to
the west side people are reporting on it. I mean
that's several miles away.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
The distance was pretty impressive, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
It's a head scratch. Thanks all kinds of you know
how my head works. All the gears come together, and
I think, Okay, how deep were the roots of this?
Were they around city sewer lines? Did the sewer lines
of you know whatever reverberate the I'm trying to figure
out how all traveled. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Barbara's in Powell, Barbara, thanks for listening. So what did
you experience?
Speaker 8 (15:16):
Uh?
Speaker 15 (15:16):
So for us, I live in Powell at Sawmill Parkway
in Powell Road. Huh And I was sitting in my
great room and nobody ever talked said anything, but we
had a huge flash and it scared the crap out
of me because I didn't know what the flash was.
And then a couple seconds later then that big horrific
(15:40):
thunder came, and then about I don't know, maybe ten
fifteen seconds after that, it just started hailing like crazy.
So that's what we had going on.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
That's crazy, Barbara, thank you. And yeah, I didn't I
didn't hear about any hail or anything like that, but
there's the first report of that. Kristin are you there, Yeah,
I'm here. Hey, So what did you experience?
Speaker 14 (16:05):
Well, we live in Potrasca, Licking County, and everyone's talking
about it on my ring camera thread. There's a whole thread.
Everybody heard it. Everybody's talking about it in the neighborhood
or you know, in the area. And I thought that
was pretty crazy because this.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Wow Pascala. Oh my god, what is happening here? This
is bizarre.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
This is really weird.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
You know what, There is no way in Potascala that
No I'm saying, I believe that you heard this boom sound,
but it cannot be the same boom that was created
by a lightning strike at Sawmill and Billingsley all the
way in Potastas.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
The Lord is mad. That's the only thing I'm fat's
of a boom.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Man that that lightning went to the core of the earth. Yes,
I mean, are you kidding me? This is crazy? Wow, Potascala.
So was it raining there or hailing?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Now?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Okay, I just I don't not at all. This is
not Kristen, Thanks, this is this is uh is a
head scratcher. Jeff, are you there? What did you experience?

look for aliens because I'm thinking there must be a
saucer involve something laser beams.
Speaker 1 (18:15):

all the way at Sunbury or you know, thirty seven
in the Sunbury area. I mean, that's like we talked
about from two seventy in Sawmill. That's you know, twelve
to fifteen miles. So this is crazy. We got a

Now I live in a duplex, and there was these
loud earth shaking things that happened to the house and
I heard it. I heard the boom everything, and I'm like, well,
(19:27):
maybe they dropped a you know, mattress down the stairs,
or a box sprang or something. And I go to
investigate and I'm like, they're not even here. There's nobody around.
I thought it was a trash truck.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Everything.
Speaker 13 (19:40):

It was just a huge boom and it dropped on
the house like it was nothing. It shook the windows,

So?
Speaker 10 (20:24):
I'm actually a meteorologist and I saw a flash above
me in Westerville, And what can happen with this kind
of stuff? So I wanted to call him kind of
explain it is. You can have a lightning strike that
hits you know, say where was it?
Speaker 7 (20:40):
Yeah, Sawmill.
Speaker 10 (20:41):
You can have a lightning strike that hits there, but
then that lightning strike goes up into the cloud and
then it can almost go you know, horizontal. And I
saw the flash in Westerville, and so if you think
about it, right, the sound comes from the whole bolt.
It doesn't just come from where it hits the ground.
So people all over the city. This bolt probably went
out into the out and then went horizontal and went
(21:01):
all over Westerville and even into Baby the east side
of Columbus. And that's why everyone was hearing this loud
boom is because lightning, can you know, oftentimes it comes from.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, exactly, that is Brady, Thanks brother. That's trippy, right.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
That sounds like the bullet and the JFK movie. You
remember how it did this and made a right turn
and you know all kinds of crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
That's yeah, Well, have the double check with Marshall to
see if Brady. We'll have to double checking, but it
sounds feasible.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I again, as my wheels turn as I'm thinking about this. Now,
I'm thinking, wonder if let's say electricity did not affect you, okay,
could you hold lightning? Is it a physical presence or
is it just energized light? You know because it bounces
and goes back into the cloud. So now I'm thinking,
(21:54):
so is light is it like a something you can
actually hold on to? I just I'm intrigued by this.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Be honest. What you just did right there is something
that you would see in a movie where people are
like real high and they go, you know what, dude,
I got a question for you, man. So here's what
I'm thinking. If yeah, Chuck, if you did do I
know you don't even do that. If you did that,
you would be so boring. You'd be the opposite. You
(22:21):
just sit there, you'd have no thoughts whatsoever. That is
a high comment if I ever heard one. You know what, dude,
I wonder if you could just you know, if electricity
didn't really affect you, if you could just hold it.
Speaker 12 (22:35):
But if the air was like water, man, we eat fish.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Could you drink it?
Speaker 5 (22:42):
Man?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
If like it would be like in a glass?
Speaker 12 (22:44):
Yeah, would you drink like a big glass of water
instead of a big glass of air instead of a
glass of water.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I mean, I googled it, and there's nothing that comes
up remotely to answer.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Oh, it comes back and says, are you high? That's
all that comes back when you google can you hold
the electricity? Hey, SERI.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
You're too stoned to speak to right now? Some good
coffee right there? When I said I heard coffee.
Speaker 10 (23:16):
Oh, I have felt butter Now.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
You and I both had the Gatorade twitch today. Man,
that's the only thing I'm thinking is could be infecting something.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
That's a high comment. I mean, that's what people are
stoned out of their brains five years. I swear.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I think it's the funniest thing you've ever said to me.
Hey, we just saw this literally right before we were
going on, and I looked on Facebook too, some people
within about a half an hour ish ago people reporting
some sort of what they're describing as like an explosion in.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
A saw mill between saw Mill and Worthington. Yeah, a
couple of people saying, you know, I work in a bank,
it shook my building and that kind of thing. I
have no idea what it was yet.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Then people are going that was thunder, And I was
thinking to myself, if you're posting that, if you legitimately
thought that and you don't know what thunder is, and
you're trying, what kind of a moron? That's my point, like,
come on, man, how long have you been on this
earth and you don't know if it's thunder that's happening.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
That story we had yesterday what was it miss Kingham
College where somebody overheard something and they thought it meant something,
so they called in the police. The police respond looking
for somebody with a gun. Turned out they were talking
about an incident that had happened long before. There was
no emergency, but in the meantime the troops were called
out thinking they had a shooter.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
What that cost for all hands on deck and everybody
come running.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
That's yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I remember hearing a story about a guy who ran
in the home depot bathroom and said get out, I'm
going to blow this place up, and somebody called the
cops because I thought it was a bomb threat.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
And all it was was he was having a gi Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Just get out of here because it's going to be a.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Problem home depot. I usually don't have to sit down,
but I swear every time I walk into a lowser,
a home depot, or say, any kind of warehouse situation,
for some reason, I walk in the door, it's like
the bladder goes hello, Oh, the first thing I got
to do is find a bathroom before I start shopping.
I don't know why it is, hm, just the atmosphere
and those warehouse type stores stimulates me for some reason.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I've never I've never experienced that on a normal basis.
I've been in those places relatively normal, you know, i'd
say on a monthly at least basis, maybe every three
weeks something, and I have never had that.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Usually the smell of saw dust or something I didn't
know what it was, could be. It's always a necessity.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
All right, Hey, John checking in. Josh, where are you, brother?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Uh, I'm actually on the road right now, but I
had a buddy passage me there a little bit. He
works up there off a sawmill. Yeah, he actually works
at Jermaine Ford. He said a lightning stray hit a
tree right there in the employee parking lot.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
And that was the boom that people are describing.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Now.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I'm assuming, so did he.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Catch fire or well, it's got to be visible because
when it gets struck, if it was alive, it is
now dead, and then there'll be clear evidence, you know,
if that were to be the case.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Right.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Yeah, I don't know if they caught fire. I'm actually
working downtown, but we're part of a chat together and
he's like, yeah, about twenty minutes ago, lightning took out
the tree and employee parking lot and our parks guy
was sitting in the truck right beside of it when
it happened.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Oh my gosh, Well that is right in the area
where it's being reported. I mean, you're right there as
that's on sawmill, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yeah, it's Jermaine Ford right there, sawmill and Billingsley.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right off to seventy yep, yep. Okay,
well Josh, thanks man, appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oie what it was? Then?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Thanks? Brother, Let me grab Dave. Hey, Dave you there.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Okay, I was at Kroger's and everybody inside the store
heard something. They said, got with that thunder, But it
didn't seem like thunder it was. It was tell was
from a distance, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, it
wasn't like right on top of us. But when I
walked out this story, it's cloudy out, a little bit
of sprinkle, but it was like thunderstorm. So it could
have been a spell going through. But which because it
(03:32):
didn't feel like thunder.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Which? Right? Which Kroger you have at Morse Morson.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Call Morse and Carl.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Wow, that's that's where. That's where I was when we
heard it.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Did you just hear the caller before you? Josh called
in and said he had a friend who works at
the Germaine Ford and uh, there was a lightning strike
on a tree that is right there on their lot,
which is at Sawmill and Billingsley right off to seventy
and saw Mill.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
I heard that conversation, but it was weird because we
were just kind of like laughing in the store. All thunder. Okay,
it's it's it's February. We're having a thunderstorm. But but then,
but it didn't seem like thunder, didn't sound like thunder.
It just but you can tell us there wasn't right
on top of us. It was far away. Interesting, we
all heard something. Everybody in the whole store heard it.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Morson, Carl, you heard it.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Huh yeah, we're like up there in the North London area,
in the Northland area.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Sure, okay, okay.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
I just wanted to say that I heard that and
I just thought we heard it too.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Appreciate it, man, Thanks for checking out right. Thanks all right, Hey,
grab me some milk, Dave while you're there and dropping.
Speaker 8 (04:37):
Off down.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Eggs, lots of eggs.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Damn, I missed the joke anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I yeah, you were joking. I need eggs.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, that's a that's something absolutely that would shake if
there was a we my neighbor's house. Have you ever
Just on a side note, when the first l I
ever built, my neighbor next to us his house was
struck by lightning. It went through his chimney and I'll
never forget. It jumped into mine and I had a
(05:13):
new computer at the time, a new member gateway.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Are they still around the gateway. I don't know if
they're still around or not. The Big Cow Box.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yep, yep. They used to they would have their stuff delivered.
They would tell you it was going to be delivered
on a certain day and then they would make sure
it got delivered before the delivery date. That was like
one of their things.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Then it showed up at a Big Cowbox. So everybody
in the neighborhood that was stealing stuff knew what was
on your porch.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, this was before porch pirates quite frankly, but that's
anyway that I had just gotten that thing and it
went through. It killed an Xbox that I had, and
it killed that. A whole bunch of electrical stuff happened
in my house. But it jumped literally my neighbor's house
was hit by lightning. Man, It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You would think the grounding of the house or something,
would you know, if it hits the house, it goes
into the ground, it doesn't affect you. Yeah, that's weird
that it came to your house.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Too, that jumped over. Yeah, really really weird. Scott, you know,
thanks for checking in. What the boom sound that we're
talking about?
Speaker 9 (06:13):
Yeah, I'm I'm at around twenty three and two seventy
and it's just little residential neighborhood just southwest of there.
And I couldn't believe how it made my wind My
windows rattled, and I thought it had to be like
right next door to me.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 9 (06:29):
I like, I'm like a mile couple miles away from Sawmill.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, I know exactly where you're where you're talking about. There,
you're in uh kind of towards uh Old Worthington.
Speaker 9 (06:39):
Yeah, now and Reeber and Wilson Bridge Road. Oh like yeah,
quarter mile west of High Street on Wilson Bridge.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, you're still a little north of Worthington. I guess there, right,
I mean.
Speaker 9 (06:50):
That was that was intense. I've never heard any If
it was really that far away that that had to
be huge.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That's crazy. Yeah, So you never did you didn't see anything?
You can't figure out this is the first you heard.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
Okay, my windows rattled, and I thought I went outside
to see if there was a tree like down next
to my house or something, but okay, nothing.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
All right, Scott. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I'm just reading this thread that I initially found on
Facebook where somebody said something about it.
Speaker 10 (07:16):
All.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh, I'm in Pickerington. I heard a loud explosion about
half an hour ago. Thought it might be thunder. Snawfer
and sawmill sounded like a loud thunderclap here thunder in Westerville.
So I mean this Pickerington really, Leona?
Speaker 11 (07:30):
Are you there right?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Hey? Tell me what you heard or what you know?
Speaker 8 (07:33):
I just heard the big boom on SOO. As a
matter of fact, I was in bed, but I recognized
it as thunder. I knew it was thunder, but it
only lasted for just a couple of minutes and that
was the end of it. It wasn't like a ruling thunder,
you know what I mean? Yeah, one big noise.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Hey is this our ninety plus year old Leona friend?
Speaker 8 (07:53):
How did you know?
Speaker 12 (07:53):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I remember you absolutely And if I could ask again,
what how? What was your age again? Three ninety three? Okay?
Speaker 8 (08:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, is this blazer?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yes? It is?
Speaker 8 (08:05):
Okay, Well I don't I don't remember telling you that.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Oh yeah, you were on with us one other time
and yeah you told us.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
About that, and uh, probably so I'm getting older every day.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Well, yeah, we all are right.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
That's a blessing.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
I know, it is a blessing to be up every day,
believe me.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So yeah, so you heard that sound as well, and
you were like.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
What the head? Yeah it was. It was pretty loud,
but I knew it was sundering. As a matter of fact,
I think one of the weathermen's earlier had said we
may have some thunder today, So that wasn't so unexpected.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You know, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
Well nobody got hurt out there where the tree or
where where that happened down there on saw Mill. I
forget what you said.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, yeah, Sawmill and Billingsley right there, two seventy and
saw Mill. Yeah all right, well Leon.
Speaker 8 (08:51):
Okay, thanks? And what happened? Were Josh? You hear from
Josh C?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I have, actually I've spoken to him a couple of times.
I really have. I but ireciate you checking in and
I thought she was she goes this blazer and I
was like, she.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Say, she wants to take you out to the nice dinner.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Man.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Oh no, I'm married, thank you very much. No, I'm
just I'm messing around, Zach. Are you there?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Oh, you're in Delaware, so you heard this sound too.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (09:19):
I was a Liberty Road just as you get into
Delaware and I heard it and it did not sound
like thunder.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
It was a boom.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, like a different kind of boom, not like because
that's the thing that people are talking about. I think
it's thunder, and some people are like, it's not thunder.
It's like, how do you miss it?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Lightning hid the tree is what everybody's reacting.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah, yeah, like what was that again?
Speaker 13 (09:46):
It was a very low rumbled like what going, Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Me with you saying you're breaking up.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I'm sorry, I can't hear you're breaking up?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Mark Nicole in Sunbury? Are you there, Nicole?
Speaker 10 (10:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
They good. So did you hear the boom?
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Well I did not, but my husband called me.
Speaker 14 (10:09):
I'm out running errands and we live up by the
Tanger outlet, and he thought it sound like a sonic
boom le jet.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Okay, wow, this is interesting, all the different takes on
what people are perceiving this at.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
You know what, I think it's cute in this technological age,
when we have all of these hundreds of things, something
this simple gets people talking. I love that.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
It's really great. Yeah, it's out of the ordinary.
Speaker 11 (10:33):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's February, so people are people aren't suspecting this was thunder.
So then you get sonic boom, like from a jet.
And then you have somebody who initially reported this that
it was a lightning strike into a tree at the
Germaine Ford lot right there at Billingsley and Sawmill.
Speaker 15 (10:51):
Yeah, you wouldn't think you'd hear it that way up here.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, that's you're right, that's quite a ways from there.
What is that? That's probably what fifteen.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Miles about twelve maybe, yeah, something like that. I don't
even know. How do you judge that? How do you
judge the strength of lightning? Do they have a meter
that judges like the power of a lightning strike?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Probably?
Speaker 14 (11:10):
Yeah, it depends on how how far out your hair
goes from your head.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah yeah, Mark and I do not have that barometer
available to us.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I barely have a brain in my head, Nicole, let
alone that there is no here, Nicole, thank you.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I've never been hit by lightning. But once many years ago,
back in the nineties between radio gigs, I was selling cars.
It was a particularly future day, heavy rain and so forth,
and I'm standing out in front of the dealership, praying
some idiot will come out by a car in the
rain and lightning struck and it like right in front
of me. It did not hit anything. There was no
contact with the asphalt or with the thing around the lot,
(11:50):
but it was right and I literally felt the heat
against my chest of that lightning. Oh my gosh, that
was intimidating.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I'm having I'm getting so much response now, like I'm
having people text me friends. So Andrew who owns Columbus Trees,
the big tree's trainy Price.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
That guyting to go up and replace that tree and
got hit by the Lightninglish.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, Andrew, Yeah, you got to get up there and
replace their tree. It's your main Ford. Uh no, he goes.
He sent me a text. He goes, heard thunder and
Sunbury about thirty minutes ago. And then another buddy of
mine just playing Mark. I like to call him. Good
to hear from you, brother, Glad you're listening, and he goes,
sounded like thunder. He's in Worthington. So, man, we're getting
(12:34):
so many reports, different reports about what people are here.
Let's get one more here. We got people lining up Mary,
are you there?
Speaker 7 (12:41):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (12:41):
Yeah, up here.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So what what did you.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Hear here too?
Speaker 11 (12:44):
I mean, have you noticed it is so dark?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah? What'd you hear?
Speaker 11 (12:48):
Broad? Okay, okay, I'm facing west and I kept hearing
about three times now, real low rumblings, you know, like
sometimes you hear a storm coming in from the west
part of the country. Sure comes kind of rolls across. Yeah,
that's kind of what I was hearing, like a real
low grumbling sound. I haven't heard it for the past
(13:11):
five minutes since I've been hold of course. But yeah,
and it's so dark, I mean, and then to the
left you see kind of like the sun a little bit.
I mean, but it's real bright over there, kind of
but it's almost like I'm sitting on top of the
storm system or something. It's very weird.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That is interesting, and uh, Mary, thank you, Thanks to everybody.
We people. We'll keep taking these calls because I think
it's interesting. Everybody's take.
Speaker 12 (13:46):
Boom boom boom boom.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Nice bang bang bang boo. There's a boom boom, boom
boom on the north side.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Bang bang bang bang.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
All right, let's get I'm gonna grab a couple of
calls here before we get to the bottom in the hour, Christian,
thanks for waiting. So what did you hear or see
or so on?
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Yeah, so my wife is asking me about a mile
north of that Germaine dealership there, and I swear if
it wasn't for his description of it being lightning, I've
questioned it too. Now she texted me and said, uh, hey,
lightning or something thunder just shook the house. And probably
about four or five seconds after I get that text,
I was over in Harlem Township north of New Albany.
(14:27):
It shook the shop that I was at there. So,
I mean it's and it was. It's not like your
typical lightning where it's that long rolling sound.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
It was just a sharp crack.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
So yeah, it's pretty impressive.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
It's hard to believe that it's carrying around even to
the west side people are reporting on it. I mean
that's several miles away.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
The distance was pretty impressive, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
It's a head scratch. Thanks all kinds of you know
how my head works. All the gears come together, and
I think, Okay, how deep were the roots of this?
Were they around city sewer lines? Did the sewer lines
of you know whatever reverberate the I'm trying to figure
out how all traveled. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Barbara's in Powell, Barbara, thanks for listening. So what did
you experience?
Speaker 8 (15:16):
Uh?
Speaker 15 (15:16):
So for us, I live in Powell at Sawmill Parkway
in Powell Road. Huh And I was sitting in my
great room and nobody ever talked said anything, but we
had a huge flash and it scared the crap out
of me because I didn't know what the flash was.
And then a couple seconds later then that big horrific
(15:40):
thunder came, and then about I don't know, maybe ten
fifteen seconds after that, it just started hailing like crazy.
So that's what we had going on.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
That's crazy, Barbara, thank you. And yeah, I didn't I
didn't hear about any hail or anything like that, but
there's the first report of that. Kristin are you there, Yeah,
I'm here. Hey, So what did you experience?
Speaker 14 (16:05):
Well, we live in Potrasca, Licking County, and everyone's talking
about it on my ring camera thread. There's a whole thread.
Everybody heard it. Everybody's talking about it in the neighborhood
or you know, in the area. And I thought that
was pretty crazy because this.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Wow Pascala. Oh my god, what is happening here? This
is bizarre.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
This is really weird.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
You know what, There is no way in Potascala that
No I'm saying, I believe that you heard this boom sound,
but it cannot be the same boom that was created
by a lightning strike at Sawmill and Billingsley all the
way in Potastas.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
The Lord is mad. That's the only thing I'm fat's
of a boom.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Man that that lightning went to the core of the earth. Yes,
I mean, are you kidding me? This is crazy? Wow, Potascala.
So was it raining there or hailing?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Now?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Okay, I just I don't not at all. This is
not Kristen, Thanks, this is this is uh is a
head scratcher. Jeff, are you there? What did you experience?
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Hey Mark, longtime listener. God loved Russe Limbo and God
love John Corby. I live up at saw Mill and
billings Lead.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yes, sir, I was sitting.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
I was sitting there on the couch and I was
doing my bills. And when it hit, when it struck
or him, it brought me out of my couch. I
didn't I've never heard anything that loud in my life.
I'm fifty seven years old, blazer and about scared of
the crap out of me.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, you and Barbara now are the two that are sighting.
Has scared the crap out of you. So I totally
believe it. But the fact that your whole house shook
and everything else, But you're right there at ground zero
with regard to the initial reports of that tree being struck,
So you're right there near that germain Ford.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Then I'm a quarter mile from there.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, okay, it's just a.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
How they shook the house and scare the heck out
of me. That's all right.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Well, Jeff, thanks for calling in, brother. I appreciate you listening.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I'm going out during the news to look for aliens.
What you said, I'm going out during the news to
look for aliens because I'm thinking there must be a
saucer involve something laser beams.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Listen when potasco yeah was I was like, hold on
a minute. I thought it was weird that we're talking
all the way at Sunbury or you know, thirty seven
in the Sunbury area. I mean, that's like we talked
about from two seventy in Sawmill. That's you know, twelve
to fifteen miles. So this is crazy. We got a
(18:38):
whole bunch of people still lining up to talk about
what they heard. Somebody in Centerberg is now all right,
oh my, this is this is intriguing. Austin. Are you
there in Centerberg? Oh?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Here, buddy, So wouldn't you do?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Hey doing great? Thank you?
Speaker 13 (18:54):
Hey a fellow lawyer as well.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Oh you went to North Okay, very cool?
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Take down four baby.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
All right, man, you guys had running water. We didn't
even have running water when I was there.
Speaker 13 (19:05):
We had running backs in two thousand and four. Right, Hey,
no man, I'm in Cinderberg and I heard this. It
happened four times this past weekend, and my neighbor was moving.
Now I live in a duplex, and there was these
loud earth shaking things that happened to the house and
I heard it. I heard the boom everything, and I'm like, well,
(19:27):
maybe they dropped a you know, mattress down the stairs,
or a box sprang or something. And I go to
investigate and I'm like, they're not even here. There's nobody around.
I thought it was a trash truck.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Everything.
Speaker 13 (19:40):
It happened four to five times every ten to fifteen minutes.
It was just a huge boom and it dropped on
the house like it was nothing. It shook the windows,
it shook everything. And then four or five days ago,
this is not today.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
That's crazy, man, crazy.
Speaker 13 (19:56):
No, you're telling me. I heard you guys talking. Unless
you go every day. You guys got a great show.
Thanks brother, But I was like, I cannot call in
and not tell him this was four or five days
ago from me. I think it was Sunday.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Man, Austin. Thanks. He was hearing it before he actually
even started.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
That's psychic ability right there. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Brady's in Westerville.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
How you doing, man, good Blazer?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
How are you, brother?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Good? Good? So what'd you hear?
Speaker 6 (20:24):
So?
Speaker 10 (20:24):
I'm actually a meteorologist and I saw a flash above
me in Westerville, And what can happen with this kind
of stuff? So I wanted to call him kind of
explain it is. You can have a lightning strike that
hits you know, say where was it?
Speaker 7 (20:40):
Yeah, Sawmill.
Speaker 10 (20:41):
You can have a lightning strike that hits there, but
then that lightning strike goes up into the cloud and
then it can almost go you know, horizontal. And I
saw the flash in Westerville, and so if you think
about it, right, the sound comes from the whole bolt.
It doesn't just come from where it hits the ground.
So people all over the city. This bolt probably went
out into the out and then went horizontal and went
(21:01):
all over Westerville and even into Baby the east side
of Columbus. And that's why everyone was hearing this loud
boom is because lightning, can you know, oftentimes it comes from.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, exactly, that is Brady, Thanks brother. That's trippy, right.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
That sounds like the bullet and the JFK movie. You
remember how it did this and made a right turn
and you know all kinds of crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
That's yeah, Well, have the double check with Marshall to
see if Brady. We'll have to double checking, but it
sounds feasible.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I again, as my wheels turn as I'm thinking about this. Now,
I'm thinking, wonder if let's say electricity did not affect you, okay,
could you hold lightning? Is it a physical presence or
is it just energized light? You know because it bounces
and goes back into the cloud. So now I'm thinking,
(21:54):
so is light is it like a something you can
actually hold on to? I just I'm intrigued by this.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Be honest. What you just did right there is something
that you would see in a movie where people are
like real high and they go, you know what, dude,
I got a question for you, man. So here's what
I'm thinking. If yeah, Chuck, if you did do I
know you don't even do that. If you did that,
you would be so boring. You'd be the opposite. You
(22:21):
just sit there, you'd have no thoughts whatsoever. That is
a high comment if I ever heard one. You know what, dude,
I wonder if you could just you know, if electricity
didn't really affect you, if you could just hold it.
Speaker 12 (22:35):
But if the air was like water, man, we eat fish.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Could you drink it?
Speaker 5 (22:42):
Man?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
If like it would be like in a glass?
Speaker 12 (22:44):
Yeah, would you drink like a big glass of water
instead of a big glass of air instead of a
glass of water.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I mean, I googled it, and there's nothing that comes
up remotely to answer.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Oh, it comes back and says, are you high? That's
all that comes back when you google can you hold
the electricity? Hey, SERI.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
You're too stoned to speak to right now? Some good
coffee right there? When I said I heard coffee.
Speaker 10 (23:16):
Oh, I have felt butter Now.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
You and I both had the Gatorade twitch today. Man,
that's the only thing I'm thinking is could be infecting something.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
That's a high comment. I mean, that's what people are
stoned out of their brains five years. I swear.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I think it's the funniest thing you've ever said to me.
