Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Swift where.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Hey, welcome to your Monday. A high eighty five today,
mostly sunny, less humid. It's gonna be a great day.
It's gonna be a great week. I don't know. My
heart rate is up. I'm jacked for this Monday morning,
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
I mean I had had an amazing weekend. Uh. My
best friend Scott was in town. We had a we
had an absolute blast. My heart rate is still up
from something that happened at about six thirty pm last night,
which I'm gonna tell you about in an hour, which
is probably one of the single craziest things that ever
happened to me.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Welcome to Columbus.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah, oh yeah, I definitely. I mean, this is a
story that could happen anywhere. It just happened to happen
in Columbus. And I'm still like, I don't know, I
still don't know how to feel about the whole situation
of what.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
We Wait, what time are we going to find this out?

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah? I about seven o five, Okay, Yeah, yeah, I'm
gonna tell you what went down at the Goose household
involving involving a police call, poop a baseball bat. Yeah wow, Yeah,
there's a lot. There's a lot to the story, a lot.

(01:16):
I'm also jacked because I now have a new mission
in life because it sounds bad. It sounds like an
animal to a zoo, and I don't mean it this way,
but I definitely want to see this and hear it
in person because I found something out that I did
not know over the weekend. It's while doom scrolling. Did
you know there is a very large Chinese population in
Jamaica and they and they speak with the Jamaican dialect. No,

(01:42):
And I saw a video and I would love to
sit down and have a conversation with an Asian Jamaican
that just is so no, not at all. That would
be absolutely amazing. I mean, and you're looking and you're listening,
and you're like, it just you you can't, you can't
process what you're seeing with what you're hearing. It's unbelievable.

(02:05):
So that's my new life goal. And the top it
all off, this is one of the coolest things. We'd
have to follow up real quick with a story that
took place last but Tuesday or Wednesday?

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yeah, middle last week.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, you had shared a story Kelly that your husband
Charlie had ordered a new guitar from a company called Sweetwater,
which is based on a four in Indiana, and they
specialize in all things music and audio and sound and
all that stuff. And one of their little sales things
their marketing ployees, is that when you order from them,
they send you a little bag of candy in the

(02:41):
box of whatever you order. But when Charlie opened the guitar,
you did your duty, which is defining the candy.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Find the candy, and there was no candy.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
No candy. Yeah what? And so I said on the air,
you were telling the story. I said, we're gonna rectify
this problem. And then at eight oh five whatever day
that was Wednesday week, called the customer service line and
had the most amazing young lady pick up the phone.
Her name was Brittany, and we talked to her and

(03:10):
I did fit. I made up a story that I
was the husband and I was losing my wife, and
she was so mad that there was no candy, that
you got.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
A guitar out of the deal, and I got zilt.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah. The only reason I'm allowed to order a guitar
is because the candy shows up. But by the end
of the phone call, we told her the truth that
you know, we're a radio station. Well, they said they
were going to rectify the problem, and man did they.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Oh my gosh. I get this big box on the porch.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
It was Saturday, and I'm like what and it said
it was from Sweetwater. I open it up and there
is a bag of it. I specified I loved bit
of honey, I love Totsy rolls. Bit of honey and
Totsy rolls in this bag. You open it further and
this company was started in a VW micro bus as
a recording studio.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, in their building in Fort Wayne. They have the
original VW bus in the lobby and it's open and
you can see all the old recording equipment in the vws.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
It's a mobile studium.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Yes o yeah, So they sent a collector's Sweetwater VW
microbus and it.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Is jammed with candy.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
Bit of honey, and Tossi rolls and then they just
threw in another bag a bit of honey on top
of it, all loose.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
It is the most glorious. I opened this up. I
was like, I almost felt like kind of embarrassed.

Speaker 6 (04:33):
I guess that.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I was like, this is how you run a.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
Business, Like I just thought I get like three or
four bit of honey, like, oh, here you go.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
Sorry, we forgot No, it's like a bag dumped in there.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Has a bag of fifty or something.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
Yeah, and then a really really really cool I'll post
it online what they said, and then a card.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
By the director of customer Service Brittany who took the
phone call. Even the CEO of Sweetwater signed the card
that they gave you. Thank you from all of us
here at Sweetheart.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
Sweetwater absolutely the gem of a company.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
And in fact, I saw a video over the weekend
of somebody else who've made a TikTok about They're like, ah,
I didn't get my bag of candy, and they were
just sort of like laughing about it, and Sweetwater sent
them a giant jar of candy bad.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
See this is cool.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
That's what you do. Yeah, that's what customer services. So
how cool is that? Well? I hope everyone had a
great week again. Sorry, we had stories to get to.
So we have got a lot to get We've got

Twenty five bucks, waterbeds and stuff If you're the first
one to text in the correct answer.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Peta needs us to talk about them, so I will.

Speaker 7 (05:46):
They have picked a new battle, this time with Nintendo
over their brand new game, Mario Kart World, and they
are upset about one of the characters in Mario Kart World.

the gift cards?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
All right, let's get that answer for blitz Morning Trivia
Thick what you got?

Speaker 3 (06:11):
All right?

Speaker 7 (06:11):
Peta has picked a battle with Nintendo over their brand
new Mario Kart World game because they are upset about
a character in the game.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
We wanted to know which character it was, and it
is Cow.

Speaker 7 (06:23):
And the reason they're upset is because Cow has a
ring in his nose, and Peta says that rings are
put in cows's cow's nose noses to control them.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
No, wait, the cows' noses rings. Yeah, okay, you mean
a bowl.

Speaker 7 (06:40):
But the thing about it is is the Mumu cows
have been part of this world for three decades and
they all have rings in their noses. For thirty years,
these Mumu cows and Nintendo have had rings in there.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
If they hate it when they tag the the what
do you call them? Those little farm animal goats? There
we go, Sorry, it's a Monday ring.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
You know.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
Have you ever seen like all the goats the goats
ears are tag Yes, I hate.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
That so much.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
They do it to all kinds of hell.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Now, yeah, well there was a goat farm near us.
That's why I know.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
It's every time I saw it.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
You know, I have ear rings. What's what is the difference?
But it feels, I say, the.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Cow the nose ring would be worse than the ear tag.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Probably hurt.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
What did they use the ring for?

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Well, it actually actually is and that's the point, Yeah,
to lead it around.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Yeah, oh I'm with peta.

Speaker 7 (07:37):
Yeah yeah, but I just like I said, for thirty years,
they've had all these cows with rings in their noses.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
And now I don't know, I just.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Walk now front. Now it's a playable character. So now
it's just in the forefront instead of in the background.

Speaker 7 (07:47):
One commenter said, how they know the cow didn't go
to a body piercing place? To get the get the ring.
I mean, the thing knows how to drive, so it's
not out of possibility.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
That's true. Yeah, Shave, it's far. I wonder if it
has like a I Love Mom heart tattoo, Like you
don't know what it's into. Leave the cow alone.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
No records, right right?

Speaker 2 (08:05):
All right?

Speaker 7 (08:05):
Well, Hayden Hartman from Lancaster was the first one to
text in cal So Hayden's got twenty five bucks to
waterbeds and stuff.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Well, congratulations, real quick, I want to get into some
medical news for you because there's a couple of things
we need to keep an eye out for. The first being,
remember last week we were talking about the rabbits that
are showing up with like spikes and tentacles Onkenstein. Yeah, Frankenstein. Well,

(08:31):
the the problems continue for the animals because now people
are spotting zombie squirrels throughout the US, and basically it's
squirrels getting infected with squirrel fibromiosis and so they've got
very like patchy skin or like open sores with plus
coming out. Yeah. Now, I say that a lot of

(08:55):
the squirrels do recover on their own. However, if the
virus happens to move into organs and things like that,
then the squirrel can die. But you've got these squirrels
walking around that look like zombies is what they're calling them,
zombies sqirls. They're all patchy and pussy and weird, So
avoid the zombie scirrels. Although they say that this form

(09:17):
of the virus, like humans cannot catch. I'm not taking
any chances if I see a patchy pussy squirrel, I'm
not going. I'm not going to wear neil scirrels anyways.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Or anything that has puss coming out of there.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
That too. Yeah, yeah, oh, I had to leave a
date one time. Never mind. Story number two. Story number
two coming out well from Maine to Wyoming because officials
warn that a once eradicated rabbies rabbies rabies virus is
back on the rise, putting millions of Americans at risk.

(09:50):
In the past two weeks, counties from Maine to Wyoming
have issued an alert after a surge in rabies among
bashed raccoons, skunks, and foxes. And now here's the deal.
Dog specific rabies has been eradicated since two thousand and seven,
but there are still other forms of rabies out there.
That humans can catch. So again, wildlife officials are warning

(10:10):
you stay away from wild animals. Don't go up and
try and pet the raccoon. The fox doesn't want to eat,
you know, bacon out of your hand. I mean it does,
but don't let it.

Speaker 5 (10:23):
What about though, when you're just minding your own business
and a bat comes and just like lands on your face.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Well, that's a very unfortunate situation, and I don't think
you can be to blame for that. If the bad
just comes in lands on your face, that's a problem.
But yes, they are seeing a big rise several attacks,
including two people bitten by a rabbit, fox and aberdeen.
So how the officials are saying avoid contact with wild animals. Okay, okay,

(10:48):
now you're up to date.

Speaker 8 (10:49):
Not so breaking news. The news already broke. We're trying
to put it back together, all right.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Our first story takes us to let's see here. Oh,
I'm sorry. The first story takes this to Michigan, which,
in fact, before we get there, we actually need to
take a trip back in time to many many years apart,
all the way back to two thousand and four, where
a gentleman by the name of Richard Gullerford is a

(11:21):
plant worker at a Michigan Ford plant helping fix cars.
Because there was a car that was put together in
Chicago but had some electrical work. It was a twenty
fifteen Ford Edge. And here's the deal. This car was
being worked on but had an issue, so it was
sent to the Michigan plant to get fixed before it
was sent off to be sold. And then the car

(11:42):
lived its life until that car was brought in to
a repair shop in Minnesota, and that is where a
gentleman was trying to fix. Chad Volk was the owner
of LC Carcare in Crystal Lake, Minnesota, where he was
working on the twenty fifteen Ford Edge to fix it's
cooling fan. However, after the repairs were done, he was
trying to put everything back together to get the car

(12:03):
ready to go. But things weren't going weren't fitting the
way they should fit, so he had to take a
quick look to find out what was going on, and
that is when Chad found a wallet sitting inside the
car inside this engine compartment area where he's trying to
put things back together, and when he opened the wallet,
he found a Ford Motor Company ID fifteen dollars in

(12:28):
cash and two hundred and fifty dollars worth of Cavella
supporting goods gift cards. Tell YEA. Turns out, this gentleman,
Richard Gulliford, who was working at the plant at the time,
never wore sweatpants to work, but this one day he
decided to wear sweatpants, so he had his wallet in
his shirt pocket, and he remembers the day it went missing.
And sure enough, mister Volk, the only the guy who

(12:50):
found the wallet, jumped on social media, looked up this
gentleman's name, found he worked at the Ford plant, and
now eleven years later, he is reunited with.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
His wallet at the Fort plant.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
No, he's retired now, yeah, he's retired. Now.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
You know how satisfying it is to have like a
resolution to something you've probably wondered about, like where did
I Where.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Can I possibly lost my wallet? Because yeah, you're like,
you know it's in the house somewhere. Well you didn't
know it's but no, sure enough, it is not at all,
he says. I was surprised the fifteen dollars was still
in the wallet. Not only that, but Kabella's has agreed
to reissue him the two hundred and fifty dollars with

(13:31):
a gift card from eleven years ago that he never
got to you. So so glad you got your wallet back.
That is a place that that was not supposed to
be found. Now, speaking of a place you're not supposed
to be found, We've told a lot of stories where
I have said, why can't this happen to me? Someone
who like loses a lottery ticket finds it the day before.

(13:52):
Someone who has, like, you know, buy something and has
ten dollars left over, and they get like a five
hundred thousand dollars scratchy out of nowhere. Why can't this
happen to me? Wow, Well, let's flip the script. This
is something that could possibly happen to me. As we
take a trip over to Vernon, Connecticut, where a forty
year old man was just rescued after being stuck inside
a kid slide at a school playground. It's one of

(14:14):
those tube It's one of those tube slides. Yeah, yeah,
you know, with just opening at the top, opening at
the bottom of the whole thing's enclosed, and it also
got some twist and turns. Well, somehow, this forty year
old man was going down the slide and got folded
in half in one of the curves of the slide
and he could not get out.

Speaker 5 (14:33):
When I tell you, I would absolutely lose my ever
loving crap if that happened to me. That's like getting
buried alive, Like you can't get out and you're stuck
in a small spot. Yeah, oh, oh my gosh, the
psychological damage that would do a.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Bit of claustrophobia. Not only that, of course, it has
been extremely warm all over the Midwest. It's that and
it was that that like plastic what is it polyurethane
material that they use on the slides or whatever, that
always causes a ton of static electricity. Have you ever
noticed that you go down one of these slides and
then think you touch something so much stat electricity. But anyways, yes,

(15:14):
he was folded in half. They actually had to hook
up a fan to blow it up the slide because
it was getting so hot in there from being stuck
for so long folded in half.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
Stress. I can't, I am so stressed.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
I'm having trouble breathing right now.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
The fire department did show up, had to unscrew the
bolts on the slide to take it apart, and he
was rescued after about forty five minutes.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
That's going to be the longest forty five minutes of
that man's life folded in half.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah, he was evaluated to seeing everything's fine. But yeah,
don't get oh, I would feel the same way. You
can't move, that would freaking out for sure. That should
not so breaking news. Not you had some of the blitz.
I know, I said a while ago at the beginning
of the show, I was gonna wait till about seven
o five to tell this story, but I'm gonna tell
you now. I had to move some things around. I

(16:08):
had quite possibly the scariest, craziest, strangest incident happened last night,
probably in my entire life.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
Really.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, So my buddy Scott was in town for the
weekend and we just had a hoot and hollering good
time all weekend long. So Sunday yesterday was a very
lazy day. Just didn't get off the couch all three myself, Norah,
Scott Cabe was there and we just sat around on
the couch all day. He ends up leaving, didn't feel

(16:43):
like doing anything too crazy, So Norah whips up a
batch of beefy mac and cheese. You know, we just
we just ground some beef and we make some craft
macaroni and cheese, and you just have a big old
bowl of beefy mac and cheese. Comfort comfort meal. Oh
it's delicious comfort meal. Didn't want to do anything, and
I ate, and I was really hungry. I ate too much,

(17:05):
and so little t M. I I get it. But
you eat too much beefy mac, and you eat it
too fast, it turns into beefy button, all right. So
we're sitting there on the couch and I finished my meal.
Norra's picking things up, and then she notices something out
our back window of our condo. And we're an end

(17:28):
unit condo or on the end of the building, and
behind our condo is just like a grassy knoll area,
and about I don't know fifty yards away is a
pine tree. And to the right of the pine tree
is one of those privacy six foot fences that runs
the length of that area that you separates the other
condo complex or whatever's over there. Well next to the fence,

(17:53):
the wooden fence, and in between the tree is a
small gap. And Nor's leaving and she goes, Hey, take
a look out the back window. So I look out
the back window and there's a man standing there. This
man is probably I don't know, thirty years old ish.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
He's wearing like like running shorts of bad basketball shorts.
He's wearing a black hoodie and he has got a
black face mask. What are those things called that? They
they the skier the snowboarders wear them. The kids have
a name? What about Yeah? Yeah, But you can see
his eyes. His hood is up, but he's got a

(18:31):
mask on. And I'm looking. We're looking at him for
a good ten minutes. He's kind of roaming. He's got
a phone in his hand. I'm just and he's why.
He's pacing a little bit. He's looking up and down.
And so I noticed that he's looking a straight line
into our parking area next to our end unit, where

(18:53):
like visitor parking is. Now here's the thing. My car
was parked right there, because it's right now extra condo.
We've got one driveway space for Nora's car, and my
vehicle happens to be on the upper end of the
most stolen cars list, just the fact of the matter.

(19:14):
And so we're staring at this guy and then he
notices us looking and then from our back window is
another street that's where the get. The side street runs through,
and a Toyota Tacoma pulls up. This guy leaves the
grassy knoll and gets in his Toyota Tacoma. The whole
thing is very strange.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
So he's wearing a mat.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Of a weird master, the things that.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
Just the face or just the eyes, or like the
ballaklava things that you wear when you like in the
middle of the winter when.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
It's Yeah, there's a name for that face covering and
a shisty mask. Thank you everyone, Yes, yes, exactly. So
he gets in this Toyota Tacoma, which is on the
side street away on the far side of you know,
that grassy knoll, And that's when I'm like, oh, it's

(20:05):
too much beefy mac And I had to use the restroom,
and I happened to be in the restroom, which is
our downstairs restroom, which is also close to the front door.
And I'm in there a handful of minute before I
here Nora yelling my name because the Toyota to Coma
had pulled up and around right in front of the

(20:29):
visitor parking where the guy gets out of the car,
and of course her only thought is, but they're they're
they're going for They're going for the car or.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
Something, and your mid Beefy Mac emergency.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Let me tell you, leaving the restroom mid Beefy Mac
emergency is not an easy thing. I had to go,
knowing that I had to run upstairs to grab my
small bat, my protection bat, and then run back downstairs

(21:07):
and go outside while she's calling nine to one one
to I don't know what I was gonna do, but
I was waiting for something to happen, and I just
stood there on my porch, and it's a very weird thing,
trying to figure out what is more important, collecting your
car or keep everything from falling down the back of

(21:30):
your leg. And it was a very odd situation to
be in because then let's say, God forbid, something goes
down and I have to chase or run. There was
gonna be no it was gonna be no holds part.
I definitely would have won the fight just on the
fact that they would have left the situation as quickly

(21:52):
as possible, because.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
There would have been You didn't want to get crapped.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
I don't want to get crapped on.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
That's what they say, Like if you're in one of
those situations, you can make yourself throw up, like that's
like a good current, but you were doing an even
better thing.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Or or if you're about to get in a situation
where someone is it's going to attack you, Yeah, just
put yourself you'll be fine, believe you alone. So it
was uh, yeah, it was. It was a situation.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Did they take off?

Speaker 2 (22:20):
They took off? Yeah, okay, and we gave a description
to the car, got a couple of letters of the
license plate. Okay, that's good, but they did. Yeah, they
did take off.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
And how did your underwear fair?

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Well, it needed a change, let's just put it that way.
It wasn't. It wasn't.

Speaker 4 (22:40):
Wasn't pretty.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
It wasn't. Yeah, it wasn't.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
It wasn't horrible, but it was. Uh.

Speaker 5 (22:47):
May I recommend a downstairs bat as well, like a
safety bat for both levels.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
That's a good idea.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
Yeah, so you're not jostling things around and upstairs running.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Upstairs, and I think we've all been there either going
up or down the stairs where it kind of matches
the cadence where you're like, is it running up or
down the stairs. We've all done that before, so it
was not easy, you know, right, running upstairs with your
knees clenched is not an easy thing to do.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
Are you convinced they were going to steal your car?

Speaker 2 (23:16):
I mean it was extreme. The only cars in that
parking lot or in that section at the time were
my car and then like a Kia Soul or something,
whoever the neighbor's car is. So I don't know exactly
what they were doing, but the fact that he was
standing there watching for ten or fifteen minutes, why we that?

Speaker 4 (23:33):
Is that like a yes? Or is it like I
got to conceal my face?

Speaker 2 (23:38):
And then walking through the grassy knoll over to the
side street to jet to get in the toyleta coma
to had the same Toileta Tacoma show up in the
exact same spot where he was just staring. The whole
thing was very weird, no doubt. Yeah, very very weird.
So we ended up moving my car into the into
the garage. Uh that last night, so very very strange.

(24:01):
So yeah, honest thing I've probably ever been involved in
for a you know, fifteen minute span of time. So
we'll see fingers crossed or at least I hope maybe
today I get a call or something that they, you know,
caught the people or whatever to see what happened.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
It's such a huge, like I don't know about karth.
I mean, you're, like.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
You said, the charger right is like a like highly
stolen vehicle. The break in situation is wild these days
as well.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Yeah, but a couple of with just texted they were
going for the kuse it'd be an easier Yeah, Carter
take total possibility. It was just still very very strange.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Now, the three things you need to know before you go.

Speaker 5 (24:45):
All right, About an hour northeast of Columbus is Butler, Ohio,
and the mayor of Butler, Wesley Dingis, was arrested and
taking to jail yesterday on assault charges. And you may
actually be on his side here back on July eleven.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
I'm on anybody's side who's like, no, it's.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Really good, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (25:03):
Back on July eleventh, Mayor Dingis was at a Duke
and Dutchess gas station when he spotted a fugitive.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Thirty Duch and douggas.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
Yes, that's amazing, that's close enough.

Speaker 5 (25:15):
So Mayor Dingis spotted a fugitive, thirty seven year old
Anthony Ward, who had been convicted of the sexual battery
of a miner and had violated his parole.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
So he was being.

Speaker 5 (25:25):
Sought on a parole violation and Mayor Dingis sees him
sitting in a vehicle. So he calls the Butler police
chief and he's like, hey, I'm looking at Anthony Ward here.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
Come get him.

Speaker 5 (25:36):
Like they've been looking for this guy, right, it's sexual
assault of a miner.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
Get this guy off the streets.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
Well anyway, the police chief arrives and Anthony Ward takes
off running. So Mayor Dingas is like, no problem, So
he uh puts his car and drive and he takes
off after Anthony Ward and bumped him with his front
bumper as the guy running away. Oh so, there is

(26:02):
surveillance video that shows Anthony Ward sliding off the hood
of Mayor Dingas's car and he keeps hauling it. He's
running toward an alley, so the mayor.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
Hit him again.

Speaker 5 (26:14):
God rolling over this guy's leg and breaking it. Oh
so they end up taking him into custody. Obviously taking
the fugitive into custody and straight to the hospital. After
an investigation that took all roundabout let's see six weeks.
Mayor Dingas was arrested yesterday and charged with assault. Upon release,

(26:35):
he gets an ankle monitor and he has to give
up driving privileges until this thing makes its way through court.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
But hey, I don't hate him for it.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
Like you can't break someone's leg, obviously you shouldn't hit
him with your car.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
What are you gonna do?

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Vigil anti justice is a slippery slope.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
I hate his child predator, A child predator.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
I hate that I'm not that predator.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
I know, I know, it's tough to hate this guy
for that. Hurricane Aaron at a category four.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
I have a follow up question, Yes, I just want
to know did Dingus get ding dongs at Dutch and
Duchess or could he get doritos at the Duchess. I
don't know king dogs for Dingas. That's what I want
to know.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
Great question.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
Hurricane Aaron is a cat four right now, it's east
northeast of Grand Turk Island and is moving west northwest
Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, the US Virgin Island,
Saint John at Saint Thomas, all getting really heavy rain,
wind and surf. No direct impact to the eastern US coastline.
But uh, at Hatteras in North Carolina, there is a
mandatory evacuation if you are visiting there, like the outer Banks,

(27:40):
you have to leave this morning starting at ten.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
It's it's it was gonna curl out.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
But they're getting like really super dangerous surf. Yeah, so
you have to leave at eight or I'm sorry, ten
this morning, and residents have to follow suit starting tomorrow
at eight am.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
So they want to everyone out of Hatteras. So that's
what's happening there, Okay.

Speaker 5 (28:06):
For some crazy reason, Death Valley in the California Desert
is a huge tourist attraction in the summer. People want
to experience the extreme heat, and this is obviously one
of the hottest spots on earth anyway, busiest time for
Death Valley National Park is when the temperature is forecast
to be in the one hundred twenties to one hundred thirties.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
Oh and one to three people die there every year.

Speaker 5 (28:27):
Despite warnings, park rangers say they are called multiple times
a week to help overheated visitors who always underestimate their
ability to handle this heat. They say, it's unlike anything
you've ever like, you don't know what you're walking into here.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
You don't get it. And they have to multiple times.

Speaker 5 (28:43):
These park rangers multiple times have to rescue people, which
seems wild.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
They should do the same thing that they do in
the sand dunes up in northern Michigan. Where do you
work your way down the sand dunes to Lake Superior
and can't get back up to three thousand dollars? Fine, Yeah,
they're sick of rescuing people, so now they make you
cover the costs.

Speaker 5 (29:04):
Ah, greed, I like that idea because this is wild
and you put everyone in danger. And in fact, sometimes
it gets so hot they cannot put a rescue helicopter
in the air.

Speaker 4 (29:14):
It's too hot. Oh yeah, they can't do it.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
Yeah, so they're like, yeah, we lose one to three
people every.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
Year in death valley xual selection. Right now, that is
what's happening there, and those are your three things.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Seems like every couple of months we get a story
about some crazy lawsuit that is taking place. In fact,
your story just a moment ago, Kelly about Mayor dingis
out of Butler hitting this fugitive and now getting arrested
for breaking his leg for helping the police. Reminds me
of like the story of there was a home break
in and the guy fell through the sun roof and

(29:47):
fell in the kitchen and fell on a knife on
the counter and sued the homeowners right for falling on
their knife for breaking into their house. Right. Crazy lossuits
all the time, this one might be one of the craziest.
As we head over to hear about Lawrence van Wassenhove,
She's a fifty nine year old woman who works for

(30:09):
and is now suing Orange, which is among the largest
telecom companies in Europe. Here's the deal. Back in nineteen
ninety three, she was hired to begin her career in business.
She was very excited, very motivated. In fact, she even
was promoted early to an HR assistant, which further motivated

(30:32):
her thrive. She wanted to grow within the business. But
then unfortunately, she was diagnosed with epilepsy and hemopalagia I believe,
which causes paralysis that affects one side of the body.
Then she was shifted from her role to make things
a little bit easier and to accommodate you the things

(30:52):
that she needed, including things like working from home. But
then by about two thousand and two, the work hits
started to dwindle, and she noticed more and more the
work was dwindling. They weren't asking her to do as much,
and it got to the point where she was really
doing nothing. They weren't giving her any work to do.

(31:16):
And this has been going on for about the past
twenty years, where she has been collecting a paycheck fully
paid by Orange Sham, nothing to do. No one is
giving her any work. She has reached out, really no reply,
She's asked, really no reply now, so now she is

(31:40):
suing the company. She is suing the company for collecting
a paycheck for the past twenty years with nothing to do,
saying it has really affected her mentally and emotionally, having
been what she has called humiliated and professionally abandoned.

Speaker 5 (32:02):
I kind of understand where she's coming from, because she
is suffering from a like a health condition, yeah, and
probably feels like she's sort of getting squeezed out. But
yet they don't have the nerve to fire her because
they would get in trouble, so they just.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
Have her do nothing.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
They do. They consider it cheaper to continue to pay
her than to let her go and then find not
accommodating like her her disabilities and then getting sued for it.

Speaker 5 (32:33):
Yes, so I feel like though I would keep my
mouth shut, I would keep collecting a paycheck. I'd even say, hey,
I haven't had a raise in a while. Yes, really
find meaning in other parts of my life.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
I mean, are you are you worried that if you
do quit you won't find a job somewhere else because
of your medical condition.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (32:56):
I would never quit a job where they don't require
me to do anything right.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
Never, It would be a boring way.

Speaker 5 (33:02):
You would figure it out, figure out a way to
spend your eight hours.

Speaker 7 (33:05):
This is the epitome of looking at gift horse in
the mouth, Yeah, isn't it. I mean, seriously, I would
even try to find another job in double dip because
I don't have to do anything for this job twice
as much money.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
So I like it. An entrepreneur right there.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
If you wanted to, you know, if you had it
within your heart, you could maybe like volunteer and then
consider your paycheck like you're working money for volunteering and
helping other people out. I don't know, so, uh, they say,
The company Orange has said they've tried to make accommodations
and help her with her personal social situation. But we'll

(33:41):
see where this lawsuit goes. I just cannot imagine suing
a company that has been paying you for the past
twenty years for doing nothing. Unbelievable. We'll have a follow
up if I find it, and it's some of the blitz.
There you go, bad Omens, death of a peace of Mind.
They are going to be out Louder than Life and
that was a lot of the life song of the day.

(34:03):
So congratulations to Migul Almeraz who is going to be
there with a pair of weekend GA passes Louder than
Life September eighteenth through the twenty first at the Highland
Festival Grounds at the ky Expoll Center. Here's the deal.
If you want to go, Ronnie's going to have another
song for you this afternoon at four twenty so we'll

(34:23):
give you this song of the day for you to
listen four in the seven o'clock hour for us to
play tomorrow and then you'd be calling number nine. You
win the GA passes for Louder than Life just like them. Hey,
it is a Monday, which means I wanted to make
sure that I was fully rested and prepared for this week.
So I took some extra gummies last night to sleep
really good, and I know I did because I woke up.

(34:44):
Usually this happens during my nap, but this morning, after
sleeping like a rock, I woke up with the biggest
pilot jewel on my pillow.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
It, yeah, I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
I think it's because of my facial hair and my beard.
But it's not like when I wipe it's like, oh,
there's the drools gone. Like it's it's wet.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
This whole thing area.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Gets wet, it gets in there, it collects, So I'm
very curious how much comes out compared to my face
and my pillow. I was out, but before I fell
asleep last night, the gummies did kick in. So I
had a couple extra thoughts running through my head and
I wanted to share them with you. The first being
is it possible to sneeze in your sleep? We do

(35:29):
so many things in our dreams that you know. You
can move, people, shake, people talk, all kinds of things happen,
people fart in their sleep.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Can you sneak, like I don't know, in your sleep?

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Or would it wake you up. I don't, I don't,
I don't know. I'm curious. I want to know. I
thought about this. I'm debating. I mean, I've already seen it,
but it was really good, and I know it went
to digital. Superman is already on digital thinking about catnip.
But I got to thinking, at the end of the day,
superhero suits have to smell super disgusting.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
That much leather collected in full body suits basically, Yeah,
that thing.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
I don't know, but there is a stanch for sure.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
Superman too.

Speaker 5 (36:12):
That's like spandex h Yeah, it's like going to the
gym every day and not washing your yes, spandex jogging shorts.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Would you like an answer to your sneeze thought?

Speaker 7 (36:22):
Sure, it is generally impossible to sneeze in your sleep,
because sneezing is a reflex that involves a sudden contraction
of muscles in the nose, throat, and diaphragm, and while
you're asleep, your body's so relaxed it will not do that.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Good to know I can scratch that off the questions.
Here's gonna be thought I had last night before falling asleep.
Cooked food smells good, but if a person smells like
cooked food. They usually don't smell great, it's done.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
Absolutely, my hair collects like smells from my environment. So
if I walk past somebody who's smoking, my hair smells
like cigarette smoke.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Like line cooks. I'm not been one. They just after work.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
They do not smelly hanging out in a Starbucks for
thirty minutes and then not smelling that coffee all the
day in your hair. So yes, my hair collects smells,
and I can't stand the smell. Like I made cookies
yesterday and my hair smelled like big cookies and it
smelled disgusting.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
That's so odden, it's so weird.

Speaker 4 (37:20):
But the smell of a chocolate chip cookie is delicious.

Speaker 7 (37:23):
You worked at McDonald's Goose Oh absolutely, lookd at Wendy's
and Ritzy's.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
Yeah, man, it.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Was terrible smells. But thought about this before falling asleep
last night, and I men, I think we can all
collectively agree. As a man, if you walk into a
restroom without a urinal, you usually turn around real quick
and peek out the door to make sure you did
walk into the women's rooms, because you're like, wait, it's
supposed to be a yurinal and there isn't, so you
got to take a quick little peak on the door,
open the door, bag up, look on the sign on

(37:47):
the front, make sure you walk in the right one.
Thought about this before falling asleep. People buy trash bags
just to throw them out.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
Yep, that's so true.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
This crossed my mind last night. Someone explained to me
why only babies have no tears shampoo? Do you think
I want to sit there with burning eyes? Like, come on,
if you can make no tears shampoo, why don't they
just make it for everyone?

Speaker 4 (38:12):
Thank you? What a great point.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
FDK. We deserve no tears shampoo as well. Thought about
this last night. If dogs had a language, smell you
later would be a completely acceptable farewell goodbye.

Speaker 5 (38:26):
Oh yeah, just smell you later.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
And finally, the last thing I thought about before falling
asleep last night. At some point in human history, through
the collectiveness of human history, at one point somebody decided
to light a fart. Somebody said, you know what, I.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Watched this and some of us followed suit.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
There's always a first.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
There's video evidence of nice video.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
I did it once when I was They didn't believe
sixteen or something.

Speaker 7 (39:02):
They didn't believe I remember doing one. Now, don't do
it unless you're wearing jeans. You gotta be wearing you're
doing with shorts on.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
Man, you okay, you can't catch fire.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
Sueople like light sparklers and stuff out of there.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
M h yep.

Speaker 4 (39:16):
The heart's probably kind of dangerous.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
To lean back and put your leg out.

Speaker 5 (39:20):
There's something real like it has changed the way I
view Thick now after seeing him on his back with
his legs hiked up like I can't never I always think,
I always that when I look at.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
This thing, it's not a good thing.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
Yeah, just think of that. If you ever decided to
believe me.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
I had to prove it. They were like that, you
can't really do you really can't. Yes, you prove it.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
I do?

Speaker 3 (39:44):
What am I gonna do?

Speaker 2 (39:44):
I just wanted to be there in the time in
history where it first happened. Right, Someone said, I've got
an idea that was my gummy thoughts from last night
before falling asleep and had some of the blitz. I'm
I have to leave some details out of this story

(40:05):
because illegal. I don't know about illegal, but it would
be a what would be the word A waste of
company resources? You get get into trouble for waste of
company resources, and this would be about the biggest waste
of company resources in the history of waste of company resources.

(40:27):
Because I'm backtrack to two thousand and nine, where I
had spent a little bit of time collecting some video
and pictures of some friends as we were on vacation.
And when I got home, I made I went on

(40:47):
my MacBook into iMovie and I made like this little
ten minute movie of video and music and made a
little compilation video of the vacation. And sometimes in the past,
I don't know ten years or so, that video has disappeared.
I don't know where it is. I know that I
made it and I uploaded it to I think it's

(41:09):
video is a site where you can up It's like YouTube,
but you can upload videos for people to share, you know,
you share the link and all that kind of stuff. Well,
somewhere this video has disappeared. Can't find it anywhere. I've
scrubbed my computer, I've scrubed the internet, looked everywhere. I
cannot find it. And this group of friends, we've been
looking for this, but we all want to see this
video again from two thousand and nine. Well, As it

(41:31):
turns out, one of the people in the video happens
to have adult who joined the Navy years ago. And
as it turns out, she was a very very intelligent woman,
and she got a job in the Navy doing intelligence stuff.
And then she retired from the Navy to work in
the private in the government sector, but not for the Navy.
She now works for the NSA.

Speaker 4 (41:53):
Whoo.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Yeah, and I can tell you this. Her job is
something that she is not allowed to talk about, right.
She's a computer person that deals with security, and apparently
with her job, she has access to the Internet. Yeah.
When I say the Internet, she has.

Speaker 7 (42:14):
Everything dark webinarll Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
But as I found out at one point, not that
long ago, she used her powers looking for this video
that's somewhere on the Internet. I don't know if she
did it during her lunch break, or if she did
it on her free time, or if she did it
while sitting at her desk. I have no idea, but

(42:40):
she did not, which is even stranger.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
Usually the nets forever.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
Yeah, exactly exactly. But I just found it hysterical that
she pulled a favor and used her powers of the NSA.
So I want to know if you've ever either had
a favor done or if you used your your powers

(43:09):
for something other than what they were meant to be
used for. Did you use your powers at work and
maybe do a personal favor or something out of the
ordinary eight hundred and eight two one ninety ninety seven. Oh,
if you can think of something where you know you're
like I have the ability, Like I bet, I bet
there's got to be like a woman out there who

(43:31):
had a friend who was either a PI or a
police officer. I bet there's been some background digging done before.
Can you think of someone who's like pulled a string
for you or done a favor?

Speaker 9 (43:47):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (43:47):
Yeah. I happened to work with the brother of a
famous Broadway producer and one day I said, hey, oh Man,
Hamilton's coming through town. I'd love to see that. And
lo and behold, all of a sudden, I'm on a
guest list with two of the finest seats that the

(44:10):
Ohio Theater has to offer.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
Thanks to that, nobody else in this city could have
done that for her.

Speaker 4 (44:18):
I could never have no seats.

Speaker 5 (44:20):
Okay, Oh well, I share it because it was an
enormous hookup and it was like, I'm like, I couldn't
believe it, and I still need to properly thank you
and your brother, but I do need to thank you
for it. And you're like, oh, yeah, it's not a
big deal. It's yeah, we don't know. And I'm like, well, okay,
it was a huge deal, but thank you.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
All right, Yeah, well you're very welcome. I do it
again in a heartbeat. Thank you. Ever get the hook
up or use your powers for evil before?

Speaker 7 (44:52):
I mean, obviously you brought up how we can get
you know, sometimes get people concert tickets. I mean a
lot of people concert tickets. So this was kind of
different because it was the other way we were on
the radio. This was back when the Shottenstein Center first opened,
which is like two thousand, I want to say, around there,
and one of the first concerts they had scheduled there
was in Sync and we're talking about on the air

(45:13):
because my daughter wanted to go. She was she was
an insect junkie. I said, I've been to four InSync
concerts because of her. This would have been the first
one we're talking about in the air. All of a sudden,
the wife of the guy who was a big part
of building the Shottenstein center happened to be listening. She
calls me and she says, hey, we have our own
suite there. I would like to give you and your
family tickets in the suite, all covered.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
You don't have to pay a dime. I said, what
do you want? She said, just talk nice about the place.

Speaker 7 (45:41):
I said, I can do that, And so we had
all the food drink we wanted in this amazing luxury suite.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
It was I mean, it was incredible. It made it bearable,
you know that, right, Yeah, exactly, So that was pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
That's actually how I got to play golf was I
was talking about it on the air and I was like,
I think I want to learn to golf, and the
wife of a pro at a golf course was listening,
and he actually called and said, come on out, I'll
give you a lesson. I just fell in love with it. So, yeah, see,
I see this happening a lot zero three seven zero.
My dad's a cop, so I've been pulled over a
few times and I name drop. They end up calling

(46:15):
my dad and usually get a warning. I could probably
see that happening eight hundred and one ninety seven zero.
I'd love to hear the time that you got yourself
a little hookup or someone uh you know, pulled the
string use their powers to help you out. I recently
found out that a friend of mine's daughter, who works
for the NSA, she lives in DC, works a job

(46:38):
that she cannot talk about doing cyber something or rather,
used her powers to look for a funny video that
I made back in two thousand and nine and couldn't
find couldn't find it. I couldn't find it, she couldn't
find it.

Speaker 5 (46:53):
Do you think there's an even darker web that nobody
knows about and that's where the video is?

Speaker 9 (46:58):
Like?

Speaker 2 (46:58):
Is there is there like a web multi verse where
all of the disregarded, deleted everything goes If.

Speaker 5 (47:05):
The video hasn't been watched in fifteen years, it goes there.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Yeah, Okay, that's the onlying I can think of. Is
some some server somewhere was completely scrubbed and the company
started over or something I have no idea, but could
not be found. But it was funny that she used
her powers to do that, like as a favor. So
I wanted to know whoever used their pull, their power,
their abilities to help you out. Stephanie's on the phone
high Stephanie, Hi, good morning, Good morning. Who helped you out?

(47:32):
Who pulled a favor for you?

Speaker 10 (47:35):
Tom Stall of the Columbus Zoo, probably seventeen years ago.
I was sitting in the bar, and you know, a
little bit of alcohol included that point, and I said,
I wish I knew who a it was at the
zoo that I had to kiss to touch a penguin.

(48:00):
Minutes later, this man walks up behind me, taps me
on the shoulder, hands me a business card and says,
that would.

Speaker 6 (48:07):
Be my ass if you have to pick.

Speaker 10 (48:09):
But I was like, excuse me, why?

Speaker 2 (48:14):
And so wait did you get into the zoo to
peda penguin?

Speaker 10 (48:18):
I heard it on three different occasions.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
In Yeah, that's really cool.

Speaker 10 (48:26):
Yeah, it was amazing.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
And what a penguins feel like?

Speaker 10 (48:32):
Super super soft, like the softest thing imaginable.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
Really, I had a different experience my with a penguin
and a Columbus Zoo.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
I was just gonna say, till they peck your hand
that thing.

Speaker 5 (48:45):
It felt like somebody hit my hand with a hammer,
that's how hard this thing pecked it really really Yeah.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
What as the penguins at.

Speaker 7 (48:56):
The Yeah, they brought him in here one day.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Uh, so, have you remained in contact with this man
or what?

Speaker 10 (49:07):
No, because you know a lot of things happened after
I'm that he was charged with embezzlement.

Speaker 3 (49:15):
He's not available right now.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
Oh that why you guys are laughing. Oh because I was.
I don't know that story and I didn't grow up here.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Okay, that gotcha.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
Okay, he's the one who brought the penguin in it
peck Kelly.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Okay, well, I'm glad that the favorite was pulled before
everything went down. You got penguins. Yeah, absolutely, thank you
so much for the call. Hope you have a great day. Stepanie.
You Let's see here, we have a couple of texts
rolling in. Let's see u I used. Daniel says, are

(49:48):
you I would stand in line for special allocated bourbons
for my husband while I was working because I have
teams on my phone so I can always just work
from where I'm at. That that's pretty nice. Yes, that's
very nice when you work from home and you can
get things done at the same time. You know, I'd
be lying if I said Nora wasn't on the golf
course once or twice in the golf cart getting her
work done while I'm golfing. Yeah, the left off me.

Speaker 7 (50:10):
I wondered about that. It's he goes out there with
you on weekdays work.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Yeah, Sam, I think, Sam, Maybe the end all be all.
This could be the perfect trade off slash use of power. Ever,
Sam says, when I was eighteen, I used to work
at Tim Horton's and I would trade my weed man
fresh made vanilla ice cream donuts in exchange for smoking
a blood the size of my thumb with him.

Speaker 5 (50:33):
You traded donuts, donuts for some for some shrugging of blood.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
I mean, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Speaker 4 (50:41):
All right, this is such a nice one, this person said.
Paul said.

Speaker 5 (50:45):
When I was graduating basic training for the Marine Corps,
my family did not have the money to come see
me graduate in South Carolina.

Speaker 4 (50:50):
My senior drill instructor somehow.

Speaker 5 (50:52):
Found out about it and paid out of pocket to
fly my aunt, uncle, two cousins, and my little sister
down to see me graduate and so prizes me on
the tarmac. Oh that's wild, not really something only he
could do, but I'll never forget it.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
That's great.

Speaker 7 (51:06):
Yeah, Oh cool about Jeremy, says my best friend Hayden
pulled a favor for me, pretended to be my dying
brother so I could hook up with my English teacher.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
Wait what Okay, first of all, that's not really the
use of your power, Like you're not what what and
what does your dying brother have to do with your English?

Speaker 7 (51:25):
What probably got sympathy something? So wait, I use we
needed the phone call from this guy.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
You're together, you're hanging out of the bar, and you
pulled the story that he's dying. So usually with the
English sheep. Okay, whatever they did and got him, that
is that is extremely odd.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
The three things you need to know before you go.

Speaker 5 (51:52):
About one hundred and fifty Ohio National Guard members being
sent to Washington, DC this week is part of President
Trump's cracked out on crime. Governor Dwine made the announcement
over the weekend, saying he's deploying military police officers in
response to a request from the Army Secretary to Wine
says the Guard members will be running patrols and providing
extra security. Demonstrators gathered outside the Ohio Statehouse over the
weekend to protest the deployment.

Speaker 4 (52:14):
Two Americans on the same carnival.

Speaker 5 (52:16):
Cruise ship crews are dead. Two Americans dead, both drowning
and separate incidents at a newly opened private resort in
the Bahamas. Oh so this is weird. They just last
month they opened Celebration Key. It's a private resort island
with six hundred million dollars they put into this. They

(52:36):
just opened it last month. And then on Friday, one
person off the cruise drowned in a lagoon and three
hours later somebody else drowned at a beach.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (52:48):
Two drownings in three hours on the same carnival cruise.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
That's some bad luck, terrible luck.

Speaker 4 (52:53):
My gosh. Anyway, that's that happened over the weekend.

Speaker 5 (52:58):
There is a huge rat infest to infestation impacting the
state of California's four point seven billion dollar almond industry.

Speaker 4 (53:06):
This is happening in the San Joaquin Valley.

Speaker 5 (53:09):
It's impacting one hundred thousand acres and causing up to
three hundred million dollars in damage to equipment and crops. Now,
this invasion actually started just shy of the year ago,
and it took farmers by surprise, and they are still
trying to figure out how to deal with it. AG
experts say They're used to dealing with these infestations in
fruit orchards, citrus orchards. But for some strange reason, these

(53:33):
rats have unexpectedly developed a taste for nut trees. So
they are eating the nuts, they are eating the barks,
they are chewing the bark. Rather, they are chewing on
irrigation systems, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage
to each farm. The rats apparently hide out in abandoned

(53:54):
fields and abandoned vineyards, and then they make their way
into the nut orchards at night. That this one farmer,
one almond farmer, says that he kills about one hundred
rats a day and he has still lost fifty.

Speaker 4 (54:07):
Percent of his crop. That's what it's crazy. Now, California.

Speaker 5 (54:12):
I did not know this, but California grows one hundred
percent of commercially produced almonds in the United States. All
of them are grown there in central California.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
Get ready for that price hike.

Speaker 5 (54:22):
That is exactly right. Get ready for a price hike.
They have a massive rat problem there in those year
three things.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
It's the morning Blitz with Goose Kelly and thick time.

Speaker 4 (54:35):
Time.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
Yeah, let's play a game of time. Where we've got
tickets for three eleven, A Bad Flower. It's going to
be at Kembela of August twenty fourth. And of all
the tickets we have to give away this week, one
grand prize winner is actually going to get to meet
three eleven. We're gonna play the Time War two one
ninety nine seven zero, very simple. We're looking for something
to call and play with us as Thick has put
together a compilation, if you will. Three clips could be movies,

(55:10):
TV music, commercials, psays jingles, TV show openings, could be
in any audio he can find. He's putting it together. However,
the point is all three clips come from the same year.
Guess the year you're the winner. Just like that, let's
get ourselves a contestant. Let's hie, who's this?

Speaker 9 (55:29):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Good Morning's Rick?

Speaker 9 (55:30):
Rick?

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Hey? Rick? All right, we are gonna play the time
Warp and all you have to do is take a
listen to the clips and identify what year it's coming from.
Kelly and I are going to give a guest as well,
so we'll see who gets closest. So, Thick, are you
ready with today's audio montage? I am all right, Rick,
listen closely see if you can figure out the clues
and what year they are. All from here we go.

Speaker 4 (55:54):
Follow you.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
Butntendo Entertainment System.

Speaker 4 (56:00):
Now you're playing with power Claire. Claire. It's a family name.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
It's a fat girl's name.

Speaker 4 (56:07):
Thank you, you're welcome. I'm not fat.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
Wow. That's a good montage right there, Rick, can you identify?
I should let me ask you first? Do you want
to go first? Or last? Last?

Speaker 4 (56:24):
Last?

Speaker 2 (56:24):
All right, you're gonna go last, Kelly, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (56:28):
All right? Breakfast Club?

Speaker 5 (56:31):
Oh gosh, I'm certain of the decade. So we've got Nintendo. Okay,
then we had breakfast Club?

Speaker 4 (56:41):
What was the other? Thank you for being Okay.

Speaker 5 (56:46):
I'm certain it's the eighties now, and i'm certain it's
not the early eighties.

Speaker 4 (56:52):
Beyond that, I'm not certain. I'm going to guess.

Speaker 5 (56:57):
Let's see, why don't I give a guest a nineteen
eighty seven? Nineteen eighty seven is my guess, okay, And
I am absolutely one hundred certain in the eighties is
the right decade?

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Well, okay, yes, one hundred percent. It is the right
decade for sure. But I can tell you are way
too late. Okay, yeah late, yeah, too late? All right?
Golden Girls for sure. Breakfast Clubya, Nintendo Entertainment System. I
remember my mom took me to a Sears. We got

(57:30):
to buy it, but yeah, then you had to go
to the collection area where it came down the conveyor belt,
and I remember watching it. Okay for that to show up,
but I think it is a way too late, but
definitely too late. Eighty for eighty five, eighty forty five,
eighty forty five.

Speaker 4 (57:46):
I'm going eighty five, eighty five, eighty seven.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
You said eighty seven, ok, eighty five, Rick, your guess
what year do you think that all took place?

Speaker 6 (58:00):
Yeah, I think you guys are right around it too.

Speaker 2 (58:02):
I'm pretty sure I was in high school and all
that was going on.

Speaker 9 (58:05):
So I'll just kind of split the difference for eighty six, Okay,
eighty six.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
He's going right down the middle.

Speaker 5 (58:09):
All right, your price is right it up. It's a
good strategy.

Speaker 2 (58:12):
Seven eighty six, eighty five eighty four seems too early
for Breakfast Club. That's what that was my thought process.
But I think eighty seven is too late. All right, Well, Thick,
what do you got for us? The Nintendo Entertainment System?

Speaker 1 (58:30):
Now you're playing with Claire Claire.

Speaker 4 (58:34):
It's a family name. Oh it's a fat girl's name. Oh,
thank you, you're welcome.

Speaker 3 (58:38):
Not fat like one of the greatest movies of all
that's really good.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
Mess with the Bull, Get the Horns right.

Speaker 7 (58:43):
In fact, it's forty years old this year and they're
going to put it in Theatery.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
Thanks for giving the answer away.

Speaker 5 (58:51):
Think nineteen eighty five, right on the money, right on
the nineteen eighty five.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Uh yeah, I mean again, we all knew it was
the eighties. I mean, that's the essential eighties movie, at
least one of them for sure. So Rick, Unfortunately I
just happened to pick the exact year before you could
give an answer. But you know what, that will not
keep me from giving you Three eleven and Bad Flower
tickets because it is a money who doesn't want to
start their week off with some free concert tickets. Three

(59:24):
eleven and Bad Flower keep alive August twenty fourth. You
will be there, and your name now goes in the
hat because at the end of the week, when we
give all the tickets away, we'll draw a grand prize
winner who's also going to go meet and hang out
with three eleven as well.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
All right, awesome, thank.

Speaker 2 (59:37):

We'll have another pair of tickets coming up tomorrow morning,

No such version? Oh I love it?

Speaker 2 (59:57):
Oh yeah, good? Just YouTube Golden Girls Church version.

Speaker 4 (01:00:01):
Okay, is it like a worship song?

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Okay, now now we got to take two seconds care
hold on.

Speaker 4 (01:00:07):
Okay, wait, I just.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
Swear to God I blamed this for you before.

Speaker 4 (01:00:10):
You might have you might have my memory.

Speaker 9 (01:00:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
Oh this guy, this guy plays the.

Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
The song gospel remix.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Gospel remix.

Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
Yeah, okay, it up.

Speaker 11 (01:00:24):
Yes, it's not from the bottom of the.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
It should be. I think it should I think it is. Actually,
But man, that is by far a superior version that's
taken the original and making it better. For sure.

Speaker 8 (01:01:10):
Not so breaking news. The news already broke. We're trying
to put it back together.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
I remember during the first not so breaking news back
around six forty or so, I told you about a
man who went down a slide at a kids park
and got stuck. It was one of those tube slides
that had some curves to it. He ended up folding
in half and got stuck. They had to call emergency
services to take the slide apart to get him out. Well,
now we have another man who had to be rescued,

(01:01:39):
except he was trapped for two days. Because this man
decided that he was going to go hiking, this story
coming from KTLA news, and he decided to do some
repelling at this park, which also had a very popular
hiking destination called Seven T Cups Waterfalls. Well, he repelled

(01:02:00):
down the waterfall or waterfall in Kerrent County where unfortunately
his line became disconnected and then he was stuck behind
this waterfall because to get out he would have been
pushed over the edge by the waterfall. Of course, the
force of the water falling was too great for him

(01:02:24):
to just kind of wade through. So that's when they
found that. People reported him missing. After two days. He
went on Saturday, and by Monday people had reported him
missing and saying the search. They knew where he had
gone and they found his car, but he was nowhere
to be found. Of course, everyone's expecting the worst. So

(01:02:45):
being a hiking trail, the police are used to this.
They use an aircraft equipped with a camera and infrared technology,
but unfortunately, due to a technical issue, they were unable
to continue the search. So that is when they tried
a new method. They sent out a search and rescue
team with a helicopter and a special y water dive
and search team to then find out that sure enough,

(01:03:09):
he was stuck behind the waterfall in this little cave.

Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
Wow uh.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
And then they were able to lower this professional, this
rescuer down to him where then they were able to
hook him up, grab him. He would end up being fine.
They searched him out. He was obviously a little dehydrated,
a little tired and worn down.

Speaker 5 (01:03:31):
I feel like you're so wrinkly too, because you know
that cave's wet, like how you know, get those bath
wrinkles in your hands. And yes, and raisin, oh yeah,
that guy looked like a raisin.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
Definitely raisined out for sure. Thankfully he is saved. Everything
is fine, But yeah, it's got to be a long
two days. At some point, you would probably make the jump.
I'm assuming, like you know that you're you know, if
you've got no other option, this is the end, so
I might as well take a chance. But would you

(01:04:02):
rather drowned or just go to sleep and not wake
up after dehydration and no food.

Speaker 5 (01:04:09):
That's hard to tell because when I get angry, I'm like,
you've got no food. I'm instantly needing to eat, Like
within two minutes of me realizing I'm stuck.

Speaker 4 (01:04:17):
Yeah, I'm starving at that.

Speaker 5 (01:04:18):
Point, I'm thinking I may have made a dive for
it within about the first thirty minute of that situation.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
Right off the bat, It's.

Speaker 5 (01:04:27):
Like, I gotta eat or I'm gonna be miserable here?
Which which way do I want to be miserable? And
I know how bad it is when I'm hungry.

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
Yeah, thankfully again he is a okay. Our second story
takes us down to spring Hill, Florida. Yes, we have
ourselves a WTF what the Florida Middle school teachers having
a rough start to the school year because campus police
found the thirty two year old English teacher passed out
between the key between the wheel with his car stealing
gear after he hit a fence in the school's parking

(01:04:57):
lot at eleven forty five in the morning on the
second day of the school year. They thought maybe it
was a medical issue until they saw a bunch of
singles serving alcohol bottles in the car.

Speaker 4 (01:05:09):
Next.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
Yeah, he did refuse to have his blood tested at
the hospital, but the officers noticed a smell of alcohol
on his breath.

Speaker 4 (01:05:18):
Was a fireball? What was it?

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
That's a good question, That's a good question. But yeah,
he's having a rough go at it right off the bat.
Like was he on his like planning hour? Is that
what it was? I'm assuming he didn't have students that hour,
so he went to his car to drink.

Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
Did his kids? Did say what he taught English?

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
Yeah? He was an English teacher. Rarely is the question
I asked? Is our children learning right? Yes, that's probably
That's probably what sent him over the edge. The middle
schoolers are all using slang and he couldn't take skimmity
toilet one more time. He's like, I'm out, I can't
do this. I'm trying to teach them English and they're

(01:05:56):
saying riz and sigma and I just can't take it anymore.
They did charge him with driving under the influence. Now
here's the thing. He did have a DUI eleven years ago,
back in twenty fourteen. So is this a continuing problem
for I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
We fell off the wagon.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
Yeah, I fell off the wagon a little bit. No
word on whether or not's gonna lose your job over
the rehab, baby rehab a little aa.

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
That sounds good.

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
Yeah, but I mean I get it, Correat. Middle school
teacher sounds like the hardest job in the entire world.

Speaker 5 (01:06:30):
It's the hardest few years of school to go through
as a student.

Speaker 4 (01:06:34):
Can you imagine dealing with the kids?

Speaker 9 (01:06:36):
Right?

Speaker 5 (01:06:37):
Really, that is prime bullying time is middle school.

Speaker 4 (01:06:40):
It's awful.

Speaker 5 (01:06:41):
Everybody's going, you know, through their changes, and it's like
everybody's insecure, and people are mean and their fighting and.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Horrible teachers in general. It's like, you know, what is
a school. It's a collection of kids all from an
area where that's how you determine. It's just you happen
to live near this building, right and yeaberty, And it's like, oh,
you teach math, Okay, great? Do the kids want to
learn math? No they don't. You have to literally like

(01:07:13):
force them to learn math. And they're already angry and
puberish and whatever else they are. So I mean I
kind of feel for you. Actually, not so breaking news.
Some of the blitzed. All right, let's take a trip
over to Queensland, Australia, where this man has one of
the most unique jobs ever and as a side hustle,

(01:07:37):
I might do this, Kelly, There's no way you could.
This gentleman's name is Bill. What is Bill's last name?
I know it was right here. Bill Edgar is his name.
Bill Edgar is fifty six years old and he has
lived many lives. At some point he actually did get

(01:07:59):
into some legal trouble. He did have a drug problem,
he got clean. He worked in a factory at some
point he was also a private investigator, which is where
that takes us. Because he was sitting down enjoying some
tea talking to a man who wanted to hire him
for some private investigator services, and as he found out

(01:08:20):
through the conversation, the man he was talking to was
actually dying of paint creatic cancer. They started talking about life,
death and everything in between, and this man informed Bill
that his best friend was actually sleeping with his wife
while he's basically on his deathbed waiting to die from
pain creatic cancer. And Bill the private investigator suggested, you

(01:08:41):
know why, you should put it in your eulogy. Let
the whole family find out. Oh wow, and that is
when the man said, you know what, why don't I
just hire you to crash my funeral? And when the
eulogy starts, you stand up and get up there and
let everyone in my family know what's going down. Bill goes,
you know what, sure, why not? And that's exactly what

(01:09:05):
happened at the funeral. Well, Bill factchecked, make sure what
was going on. He saw the best friend, he saw
the wife, He knew what was going on, and that
is when he said, okay, I'll do it. The man said,
set a timer. Two minutes into the eulogy, stand up,
tell everyone you have an announcement. And that's exactly what
he did. He set a timer on his phone. Everything started,

(01:09:28):
and he stood up and opened up an envelope, said
I've got some words from the deceased. Oh read everything off.
Oh I want to hear it, and ended with and Bill,
you can go after yourself for what you did. Well.
On the way out of the funeral, a woman stopped
him and says, hey, you got to talk to my aunt.

(01:09:49):
So sure enough he went and talked to the ant.
This man now makes a living as a what he
calls a coffin crasher. Oh I could do this. People
pay him to go to funerals to then reveal some
sort of secret or some bit of information, and that's

(01:10:11):
how he makes his living. Tell you how comfortable would
you be?

Speaker 4 (01:10:15):
I feel anxiety just listening to it. I could never
ever ever do that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:19):
No, a group of strangers. You couldn't stand up and
speak in front of never and crash the funeral.

Speaker 4 (01:10:25):
I couldn't do it for anything.

Speaker 5 (01:10:27):
I can't get up and make a stage announcement without
feeling or e going to pass out.

Speaker 4 (01:10:31):
So you think I can crash a wet or a funeral.
Don't give people bad news?

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
That's right, I remember it. Sonic Temple. We got we
got the invite to introduce Artude before the show.

Speaker 4 (01:10:43):
I didn't think, don't. Yeah, I don't make it anymore
than it really is. It's already bad.

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
But you're like, all right, so we're gonna say this,
We're gonna say this.

Speaker 4 (01:10:52):
Who's saying this? I'm like, wait, are you sure you
wanted to say that part?

Speaker 11 (01:10:57):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
Do so?

Speaker 5 (01:10:58):
I mean you know, old Kelly can use some baita
blockers already in normal life.

Speaker 4 (01:11:02):
I don't. I could never do this.

Speaker 7 (01:11:04):
So you could one little oh yeah, I'm ready to
start a side hustle right now that I'm available to
do this for anybody who needed one.

Speaker 2 (01:11:11):
Lady got me to confess to her son that she
wasn't his mother, but actually his grandmother, and his sister
was his real mother, and his father was his grandfather,
all at the funeral. At the funeral.

Speaker 4 (01:11:23):
That's just really not appropriate.

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
I remember, I remember it was only it was only
five years ago or so. You know. I knew that
my dad wasn't the greatest guy, and I knew that
he did cheat on my mom. But my mom sat
me down like five years ago, I mean would have
made me forty three or something, and said, look, I
want you to know something before I passed, because I

(01:11:49):
don't want you to find out afterwards that I have
a half sibling that I've never met them. My dad, yeah,
gandfather won't cheat. My My father was a I knew
he cheated, realized how massive of an adulterer he was.

Speaker 4 (01:12:04):
Have you met this half sibling.

Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
No, I've never met him. No, No her, I've never
met her. I know I know it's a female. I
mean my entire life. I knew that my father was
in a motorcycle accident that you know, caused brain damage.
He had no short term memory and his helmet failed,
and it was, you know, a terrible thing. I never
knew there was a woman on the back of the motorcycle.

Speaker 4 (01:12:25):
Does he think he is Jackson Pollock?

Speaker 2 (01:12:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:12:28):
It was, Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (01:12:30):
Well, and that that changed the course of my family
because the woman he was with kept the helmet that
was defective. If my mom had that helmet, she could
assued the company and one god knows how much money
for a defective helmet that that turned into, you know,
basically brain damage. Yeah, gosh, does anyone all right? Completely anonymous?

(01:12:50):
We may get we may get no phone calls in this.
I would love to know if you've got like a
family secret that you know about that you would like
imagine it coming out after that person past. If you
can tell a story with no names, I'll keep it anonymous.
I would love to hear a family secret, like what
bomb would drop at a family funeral.

Speaker 4 (01:13:12):
Oh gosh, I want to ask you.

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
I want to ask you because obviously people know who
you are. I don't want your family secrets out there.
But if you want to call him anonymously or even
text in anonymously eight hundred eighty one ninety nine seven.
Oh oh yeah, call in that bomb that would just
be dropped at a funeral.

Speaker 4 (01:13:32):
Hello, I'm Sin William.

Speaker 5 (01:13:39):
I have a story that's gonna blow the lid off
his family.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
There's a guy. There's a guy on TikTok I think
his name is John, and he goes by. John breaks
bad news, and people email him and he'll call and
just tell you the bad news on the phone. And
people are like, what the are you because John from
John breaks bad news?

Speaker 5 (01:13:58):
But you mean that is way more appropriate, because you
are doing a one on one conversation with somebody that
needs to know some information at a funeral.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
Dropping at a funeral.

Speaker 5 (01:14:07):
Honestly, I'd like to be at that funeral, but I
could not be delivering the news at the funeral.

Speaker 4 (01:14:11):
But I got to be at the funeral.

Speaker 2 (01:14:13):
Okay, Well, we actually we got a phone call. Hold on,

Speaker 9 (01:15:16):
What happened was she was actually giving bird.

Speaker 2 (01:15:19):
At that gun.

Speaker 3 (01:15:24):
Wait, so that was the gall bladder was an excuse.
It's just a cover.

Speaker 9 (01:15:29):
And my sister in law knew about it somehow. She
didn't actually know, but she knew. She's like one of
those uh clairvoyant type people.

Speaker 2 (01:15:38):
Oh, you didn't see your mom getting bigger and bigger?
You were You were of the age where you didn't
understand you either thought your your mom was gaining weight.
I was three years old. Okay, yeah, oh, gall bladder
surgery was the cover.

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
That's hysterical. Thank you so much for the call.

Speaker 5 (01:15:57):
That's like people used to send their waters to Upstate
New York to stay with relatives.

Speaker 2 (01:16:06):
Blitz all right, leave it anonymous if you want. Do
you have a family secret that could be dropped at
a funeral? Uh?

Speaker 6 (01:16:13):
Yeah, Actually this one was dropped after his funeral. I
learned from relatives that my great grandfather, Uh, he slept
with literally anyone that he could, and my grandfather just
had to be there and raise her five kids while
he had one time or.

Speaker 4 (01:16:32):
More man, dirty dog.

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
Worse.

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
Can you find out after the funeral? I wish that
was dropped at the funeral for sure.

Speaker 6 (01:16:44):
Yeah, everybody in the family knew. It's just the grandkids
that didn't know.

Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
Try to protect the children.

Speaker 5 (01:16:51):
Yeah, oh grandma deserved justice.

Speaker 4 (01:16:54):
Oh my gosh, that's yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:16:57):
He died first.

Speaker 3 (01:16:58):
Yes, yes, someone's god.

Speaker 2 (01:17:03):
I'm glad he did. I'm glad he did.

Speaker 1 (01:17:05):
Now the three things you need to know before you go.

Speaker 5 (01:17:10):
Columbus maybe landlocked, but we are hosting the US Navy
this week. The Navy's holding its annual Navy Week celebrations
in Columbus this year kicks off this evening with the
gathering at the in the National Veterans Memorial Museum UH.
This week, of course, leads up to the Columbus Air
Show this Friday through Sunday, where the Navy Blue Angels
will perform. And I don't know, man, go ahead and

(01:17:32):
put in, well, let's make a request one more time.

Speaker 2 (01:17:34):
One more time. I need a ride in a jet.
If you know someone or have connections. My biggest wish,
I would say, probably above anything, above anything on my
bucket list wish list want to do is ride in
the back of a fighter jet.

Speaker 4 (01:17:52):
Okay, would you do like a loop loopity loops and all.

Speaker 5 (01:17:55):
That you would sign a release yes?

Speaker 2 (01:18:02):
And I know I would bet. I would bet both
my pinky fingers that I would end up passing out
when they get to like the six seven g's because
you go through a class and they teach you how
to do the butt squeeze, and that's what you do
to get all the blood to stick upwards in your head.
Because when they're pulling those g's, all the blood that's

(01:18:23):
why you pass out on the g All the blood
leaves your brain basically, so you got to do this
special clinch breathe, but I don't have the lung capacity
for it.

Speaker 5 (01:18:31):
I don't know if you shark, but I mean, that's
my wife to squeeze your butt cheeks.

Speaker 4 (01:18:34):
Right, so you don't.

Speaker 2 (01:18:35):
Probably not. No, the squeezing is to keep the blood
north of the belly area, and so it tends up
and it keeps everything up here, like.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
The training and arm again, I'm gonna turn you, I'm
gonna twist.

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
You exactly exactly. I know it'll happen.

Speaker 5 (01:18:51):
We need a contact, we need to we need special
privileges something.

Speaker 2 (01:18:56):
I need a ride in the back of a fighter jet.

Speaker 7 (01:18:59):
Brother in law is maybe for a while, I can
see if he knows megaphone call I will hey, uh yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:19:05):
That might that may just work.

Speaker 3 (01:19:06):
Yeah, I just thought that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
Oh, Doug asked a good question. Would you cancel the
trip to my friend's wedding in Denver this weekend? If
I got a ride in the jets this weekend?

Speaker 5 (01:19:53):
Well, A woman named Cassenia Alexandrova, she's a Russian model
and TV personality who competed in the twenty seventeen in
Miss Universe competition in Vegas, has died after the wildest
car accident in Russia. So this accident actually happened in
early July. She was in the passenger seat of her
husband's Porsche when an elk came crashing through the windshield

(01:20:16):
and slammed into her head.

Speaker 4 (01:20:19):
So she immediately goes into a coma and she just died.
Yes Friday. Can you imagine that happens?

Speaker 5 (01:20:27):
They say, like if you get a deer of a
deer like comes through your windshield, they start thrashing around
and people die like that, Like it's not uncommon to
get kicked in the head with.

Speaker 3 (01:20:35):
A hoof.

Speaker 4 (01:20:37):
What a horrible I think she was thirty thirty years old.

Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
All I can think of Tommy Boy.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
Yeah, yes, when it woke up in the Yeah, I
mean yeah, that's that's that's the definition of it's just
your time, like there's nothing you can do it.

Speaker 4 (01:20:54):
That's final destiny.

Speaker 5 (01:20:55):
Yes, open Ai is relaunching a reth vamped chat GPT
five CEO Sam Altman admits that the original rollout was
a little bumpier than expected, so much so that many
users complained and demanded the GPT four O version back.
They're like, we want our old version back. We hate

(01:21:16):
this chat g GP five GPT five Yes. So, the
main complaints after the initial release were that it produced
significantly shorter and more formal responses. They said it was
like more robotic than GPT four.

Speaker 8 (01:21:31):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (01:21:32):
They said it lacked its predecessor's personality, warmth, and conversational ability,
and users said it felt like an overworked secretary was
giving me these answers rather than a companion. And some
people said they had sort of like they really experienced
a sense of grief when they replaced it or oh

(01:21:53):
with GBT five. Yeah, so they did go back to
the drawing board. But they have updated Chat GPT five
that are they say, subtle, but make a huge difference
and brings it back to more of the personality that
we're used to with the earlier version of Chat GPT.

Speaker 2 (01:22:11):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:22:11):
That is a little concerning that people said they experienced
grief over the loss of GPT four. Oh and concerning Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:22:22):
But if you're if you're excited.

Speaker 5 (01:22:24):
Although whenever any type of app makes a major update,
I always hate it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:31):
Yes, absolutely, I.

Speaker 4 (01:22:32):
Feel like you've just ruined my life.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
I have I have kept. I have kept from the
latest iPhone update because Nora did it and she was
so mags and moved everything around and it wasn't like
things weren't where they were supposed to be.

Speaker 5 (01:22:44):
And yeah, a photo app when they updated that dates ago.

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
That's sun Now she needs like a a it's a
safety feature of face protection face ID to get into
her text message. So every time she opens up her
text messages, she has to face idea. Ough, yeah, it
has to be away to change that there is it's
just buried in the setting somewhere. Yeah, it's pain. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:23:05):
Well yeah, fortunately they are fixing GPT five, so then
should be uh operating more of the way you will
love it to operate in.

Speaker 4 (01:23:12):
Those are your three things.

Speaker 7 (01:23:13):
I still remember when they gave Kelly a whole Free
You two album, she about lost her mind.

Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
Yeah about that?

Speaker 4 (01:23:21):
Still sure.

Speaker 2 (01:23:23):
Now let's see if we can learn you something. Sit
up and pay attention. Yeah, let's make you a little
bit smarter than where when he woke up today. A
little tidbits of information you can take with you. You know,
have you ever heard of someone who like goes through
a breakup and they're trying to get over it, so
they pick up like a hobby or something, or try
keep busy to keep their mind off the things. Well,

(01:23:46):
listen to this. After Julia Roberts broke off her engagement
with Keeper Sutherland in nineteen ninety, he took up steer roping,
and he became a rodeo tournament winner. Like he became
basically semi pro.

Speaker 3 (01:23:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
I wonder how often that's happened, where you go through
something traumatic like a breakout or pick up a hobby,
but then it turns into something that you're like, oh, well,
I'm actually really good at this life changing type stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:24:09):
After Flatliners.

Speaker 2 (01:24:10):
Yeah, what a good movie. What a good movie. That is.
The Washington Generals lost to the Harlem Globetrotters two thousand,
four hundred and ninety five times in a row before
they accidentally beat them on January fifth, nineteen seventy one.

Speaker 4 (01:24:27):
For real.

Speaker 3 (01:24:28):
Yeah, they accidentally beat them.

Speaker 2 (01:24:30):
Well, I think as it's pretty scripted that the Globe Trotters.

Speaker 7 (01:24:33):
So this is like a wrestler accidentally beat the guy
who wasn't supposed to.

Speaker 2 (01:24:37):
He pends the opponent against dq' or something like that. Yeah. Absolutely.
Singapore has a government agency to promote marriage and romance
and foster opportunities for singles to interact in social settings.
They basically have like a matchmaker, a government agency matchmaker department.

Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
Really.

Speaker 2 (01:24:58):
Yeah. I don't know if it's because they want you
to find love within Singapore, or if it's because they're
promoting families or what it is they're doing, but they
actually have a government agency to help move that along.
The Colorado Rockies mascot is a triceratops. If you've ever
seen the mascot running around the field, Big Purple triceratops

(01:25:20):
with a jersey on. I can't remember his name, but
they know he's a triceratops. Anyways, he is a dinosaur.
I mean, why would you have a baseball team located
in Colorado in the mountains named the Rockies in Denver
with a dinosaur as triceratops as their mascot. Well, there
is a reason. That is because a dinosaur ribbone was

(01:25:43):
discovered when they were digging the land to build Coors
Field in nineteen ninety four there in downtown Denver. So
they said, hey, let's go to the dinosaur.

Speaker 3 (01:25:52):
The corner of twentieth in Blake Street.

Speaker 2 (01:25:54):
Yeah, yeah, ding Dinger, that's right, Inger, the dinosaur, the dinosaur. Yep.
I should have known that it is purple dude. Oh yeah, yep.
And finally, Shaquille O'Neal hit one three pointer in his

Speaker 3 (01:26:15):
I was shocked it was only one.

Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
Yeah, only one.

Speaker 3 (01:26:17):
I mean you would just think, you know, all those years,
you would hit a couple.

Speaker 2 (01:26:20):
Yeah. One. He finished his career one for twenty two
on three pointers four point five percent three pointer average. Yeah. Yeah,
he was not a very good shooter, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:26:31):
Yeah, no dunking, he could dunk all day, oh all day.

Speaker 2 (01:26:34):
You know. Great defense, yeah, he could box anyone out
for sure.

Speaker 9 (01:26:38):
It was.

Speaker 2 (01:26:38):
He was a mammoth man. But could not shoot. Wow,
I mean, I wonted. His free throw percentage was just abysmal.
