Now, yeah, great Friday, Oh.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
I think we will. It's going to be a high
about seventy six, some scattered rain possible throughout the day,
more throughout the weekend as well. You know, yesterday I
shared with you that being we have now completed, you know,
ninety days of this show, and I had found the
one person that I don't like in the building because

(00:30):
this person tried to label the coffee scoop and tell
me how much coffee grounds to put in the coffee.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
But it turns out they were right.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
They were right. Yeah. Still but still yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
How dare they?

Speaker 5 (00:39):
So?

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Still still in the process of learning about the people
in the building day by day, And I learned something
else this morning. We have got a trouble maker here
in the building, A big time trouble maker. Now what, Kelly,
just pulling like just a little cork out of the
dam and just making things explode in the building.

Speaker 6 (01:04):
Don't you love it?

Speaker 3 (01:05):
I just love your explanation because I'm sure other people
have had this happen where You're just like mentioning something I.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
Was venting to my very best bff in the building,
who is Ronnie Hunter?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:19):
All right, I'm just venting, I you know, whatever. But
this girl is such a girl's girl, like she's so
great that she takes on my stuff and she decides
she's going to fix it right, and I'm like loving it,
but also now worried that I have caused her stress
and then other people in the building stress. So yeah,

(01:42):
I'm worried a little bit worried now, But I love
this girl. I am telling you we'll go too bad.
We'll go too bad for you.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
And which is amazing, and I'm sure there's everything will
be resolved, there's no issue. I just love when again,
this has happened before where you're just like so anyway
and then it's just like kaboo everything or or there
are people who also and I don't know if you're

(02:12):
telling the truth or not, Kelly, but there are some
people who do it on purpose. They just they just
insert just a little thing, knowing that they've lit the wick,
just watching it burn slowly and then kaboo all blows
up anything.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
No, I mean, I would never, like, I know what
kind of pressure Ronnie's under these last month or whatever.
Sonic temples always a big deal. You're like twenty four
hours a day. Practically, she gets off the at seven o'clock.

Speaker 6 (02:39):

I mean like that, she's still here. I think, Yeah,
nine o'clock yesterday.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
I'm not I never in a billion years would I
try to cause her stress in a billion years, but
I accidentally did do that.

Speaker 6 (02:55):
Lisa Trumple make care Lisa.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
She just loves me and I love her, and we'll
go to bat for each O.

Speaker 3 (03:01):

wish to have bosses and higher ups like Ronnie Hunter.

Speaker 7 (03:06):
She's trying to get everything ready for Sonic Temple, and
it's amazing. Every year, all of a sudden, Sonic Temple weekend.
We have so many people who work here I've never

These people.

I never met these people.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
It is going to be, I mean six days away now.
Cannot wait for what is going to be an amazing weekend.
And the good news is, as of right now, the
weather has not changed. It is still looking absolutely perfect.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
In the in the forecast for that weekend whatsoever.

Speaker 6 (04:05):
So sixty five to seventy with sun is amazing.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yep, take it. It is going to be an amazing Friday.
So let's get to it. Thick, what you got for
our Blitz morning Trivia.

Speaker 7 (04:15):
I don't know if you guys, Kelly, you see the
news every day, so I'm sure you see it. Cars
running into businesses. It's like every day we see this happening.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
There's yeah, it always pops up on the Columbus subreddit,
like it's a joke. Now every day? How many cars
run into businesses?

Speaker 3 (04:30):
All right?

Speaker 7 (04:31):
So a rock star singer that we've been playing on
this station for years owns a coffee shop or a
tea shop rather t shop in Illinois, and for the
second time in six months, a car ran into his
tea shop.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Oh my god, is he like on a sharp curve
or something?

Speaker 6 (04:50):
For the second time in six months. So I want
to know who the rockstar is.

Speaker 7 (04:53):
Who is this rock singer who had his tea shop
run into for the second time in six months? Be
the first one to tell us at ninety ninety seven
and we'll hook you up at twenty five bucks to
go spend over at waterbeds and Stuff and beds and
stuff superstores.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
All right, let's get that answer for Blitz Morning Trivia thick.

Speaker 7 (05:10):
All right, we asked what rockstar singer had his tea
shop in Illinois run into by a car for the
second time in six months. It's called Madam Zuzu's Tea
Shop in Highland Park, Illinois, and it's owned by Smashing
Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Who's Madam Zuzu.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
I have no idea. Oh okay, I have no idea.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
But the shops are cool too, because there's a whole
like ritual about getting tea. I don't know if you
know this or not, but there is a ritual.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yes, I know this, but you and I have very
different definitions of what cool is.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Oh okay, just putting it out there.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
I don't know that's the adjective I would use to
describe a te shop. That's just me.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
What's the ritual Well, it's just with your teas, and
there's certain like have.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
You seen kiss?

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Okay, you have your CLO's spoon down. It's a very
ritualistic experience. I love it. I think it's fun.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
I say a few words and then like a goblin
comes out of the wall.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Cup.

Speaker 6 (06:16):
I'm with you, saw not getting the whole cool thing anyway.

Speaker 7 (06:21):
Yeah, so he said, can you believe somebody drove in
the front of Madame Zuzu's again.

Speaker 6 (06:27):
You said it was an honest accident.

Speaker 7 (06:28):
It caused some damage to the exterior and nobody was
hurt this time. But six months ago another car drove
into Madame Zuzu's and injured Billy's mother in law.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, so you change the name to Madam Boom Booms t.

Speaker 7 (06:42):
Shot Adam Armstead from Zanesville. He was the first one
to text in the correct answer. So he gets twenty
five dollars gift card to waterbeds and stuff.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Congratulations, Thick, how's your finger doing much better?

Speaker 7 (06:55):
Swelling's gone down a little bit red. You're right, the
redness is left, you know, a little less sore.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Okay, you know.

Speaker 7 (07:01):
It's so we're right on the spot where the drill
bit went through it. But uh yeah, definitely improving quick recab.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
In case you didn't know, a couple of days ago,
Think was working on his greenhouse that he's building, or
as Kelly calls it, his drug shack, and he's building
it himself, and while using a thin drill bit to
put some pieces of wood together, the drill bit went
through the wood and then all the way through your finger.

Speaker 6 (07:23):
Bottom to the top, came out the top.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
No, no trip to the doctor, no nothing, just a
little antiseptic and peroxide clean little and that was it.

Speaker 6 (07:32):
Pressure to stop the bleeding.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Now, I bring this up because I saw an article
we all know about girl math. Kelly, Yeah, okay, when's
the last time you use girl math? Can you think
of it?

Speaker 4 (07:43):
I'd probably do all the time. Like basically, well, I
didn't order this expensive thing that I wanted yesterday, and
this one's that I want to get today is less expensive,
so I'm actually saving money.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
You're making you're making money making Yes, you're making money.
Absolutely well. The question came up about, uh, buy to
this is dad math? If you go out and you
spend money on tools so you can build the thing yourself.
You just made money because you're not paying anyone to

(08:14):
bring their tools and do it for you. So you're
making money, and so Thick is participating in dad math.
Right now, I've made money. That's right. You made some money.
You should be able to go out and spend it
on what you want to spend it on. And not
only that, you've actually made more money because now that
you've purchased the tools, you have those tools to continue

(08:36):
to make money on things you are going to build
anyways with those tools.

Speaker 6 (08:40):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
So for all the dads out there out there buying tools,
you don't need the router jarber because I know my
tool name. Then you're making your your three eighths pinpoint hammer.
Then you're making money.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
How about you could also do piercings now that we
know you can do it successful.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah, your own piercing shop. Just hang on.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
And you won't even have to go to the emergency room.

Speaker 9 (09:09):
Got at all.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
I got the bodily antiseptic and the hydrogen peroxide. You'll
be fine. You can drill through your ear lobe, right,
but it's got to thin enough.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Bit all right?

Speaker 7 (09:18):
That was only one of an inch. Yeah, there you go, orringe.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
If you want to get one of those gay yeah gauges.
Forget forget like extending it out thick will.

Speaker 6 (09:28):
Just start a big circle and rank start out quarter size.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Right there, be good to go.

Speaker 10 (09:35):
Some of the blitz not so breaking news. The news
already broke. We're trying to put it back together, all right.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Your first story comes from Saskatoon, Canada. What a great name, Saskatoon.
I mean, if I had a band, I might name
it Saskatoon to be up there with Chumbawamba and Kaja
Goo Goo like just.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
The It's very satisfying to say Saskatoon.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
It is Saskatoon.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
It starts out real good and then ends on a
strong note.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
It does literally saskatoons Saskatoon. Because we play the tunes Saskatoon.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
You spell it with yeah.

Speaker 7 (10:20):
Yeah, you're going to be a SKA band, Saskatoon, Saskatoon.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
That could I play ukulele? Absolutely excellent. I can only
play ones.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
You're going to play the ukulele, okay, think we'll play
the drums and I'm going to play the key tar.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
Tar yeah, like the Fisher Price kind.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Oh no, no, I'm getting the big one. Yeah, I'm
getting the big one.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Sure, can we play on top of spagett I can
only play those few chords on the yuke okay.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah, but the skabi will come from the key tar
and the drums.

Speaker 6 (11:04):
Yeah, okay, follow along?

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah. Oh we're getting this band together. We're doing a
charity show Skaskatoon.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Listen. I have a ukulele, so I'm ready to go.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Oh, I can rent. I can rent a keutar for sure.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
I only have the rock band drums.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
That's okay, just.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
That flat plastic sound.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
I can only play a C, A D and a G,
So I mean, let's go. Wouldever songs have those uh notes?
I'm ready to go.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Well that's interesting because I only ingest CE, G and D,
C and D. All right, moving on, uh place in Skaskatoon.
We're on a high speed chase in downtown on Sunday
following a drunk man who was seen carrying open liquor

(11:59):
in his car when they then pulled him over and
he got out and ran. So the police did what
they had to do and they got out and chased
the man down. They did eventually arrest the man after
a brief foot chase, handcuffed him and took him back
to the police cruiser, but unfortunately the police cruiser was gone.
Somebody jumped in and took the police cruiser they were

(12:22):
chasing the drunk man. Thankfully, the vehicle was found fifteen
minutes later in the back alley, a couple blocks north
of where it had been parked. Investigators say they're still
looking into the matter. They don't have any suspects or anything.
Someone just took the.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
Somewhere else.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
We will hide and synk with the police car. I
love that second story coming out of Kentucky. A fifty
year old man in Kentucky named James Farthing just won
one hundred and sixty seven point three million dollars in
the powerball jackpot. In fact, it was just this past
Monday that he was presented with a giant check. Now

(12:59):
here's the thing. James Farthing is an ex convict. However,
he is splitting the award with his seventy seven year
old mother, so it looks like maybe he's turned over
a new leaf. However, on Tuesday, just one day after
getting his check, James was arrested after a fight broke
out at an ocean front hotel where he was staying
down in Florida. James had punched at least one other guy,

(13:22):
and when the sheriff's deputies stepped up to break up
the fight, James kicked a police officer in the face.
The cop was dazed and bruised. He's gonna be okay, However,
James was later arrested for felonry battery on a police officer,
two misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct. Plus he's obviously in
deeper trouble because that violates his parole going and getting

(13:43):
arrested again. He's currently being held in jail. It's unclear
if he'll be sent back to prison or for how long.
The good news is he can now afford a better
attorney to help him out.

Speaker 6 (13:53):
Wait to celebrate your new fortune, right, I.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Mean, you went one hundred and sixty seven point three
million dollars. First thing I'm gonna do is probably go
to Ocean Front Hotel down in Florida. Why not itself
in a nice little sweet thing is when you're.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
That much, Monty, you gotta act like you've been there before.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Man, you do.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Have that is true. That is you're not still breaking news.
Nine nine seven of the Blitz so I actually had
never heard this reference before. We all know grunge music,
you know started basically they give credit to Nirvana and

(14:30):
Stone Tumble Pilots. That was the pearl Jam, the beginning
of crunch grunge music late a very late eighties early nineties.
That's when I kind of all kicked off. Well, there
was a second wave of that post grunge music that
came in the kind of early mid two thousands that
they're that they call butt rock butt rock.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yes, but rock before you have Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Okay, I've never heard that term before butt rock. Do
you know or could you think of a band that
you would put into butt rock?

Speaker 4 (15:03):
The only one I'm thinking of right off the bat
is Finger eleven. Interesting, ok, butt rock?

Speaker 3 (15:12):
I think that would that would fall into the category.
I love that song, a great song.

Speaker 4 (15:16):
So call me a butt rock fan.

Speaker 6 (15:18):
Why why butt rock?

Speaker 3 (15:20):
I don't know. They don't really give an explanation as
to why it's butt rock. I think this might fall
into the category. Uh, nor his dad, cause it scoliosis rock.
So it's that rock for slightly older people but not
quite very old. I don't know why he calls it that,

(15:40):
but he does. So metal injection dot com music website
put together a list of like the essential butt rock songs, basically,
you know bands like well, they listed some bands Bush
and Candlebox fall into that butt rock category, which all
to be turned into things like Nickelback and Seether. But

(16:02):
they put together kind of their list of best butt
rock songs. So I want to go over some of
these and see what you think of these songs and
see if you remember these songs, which I'm pretty sure
you're gonna remember pretty much all of these. The first
one creed my sack.

Speaker 11 (16:24):
Exactly.

Speaker 12 (16:28):
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
I did crank some Creed back in the day.

Speaker 6 (16:32):
Now is it the band or the specific song?

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Again, I don't know. I mean they were talking about
just butt rock as a whole.

Speaker 7 (16:43):
So AI says it's post grunge new metal bands that
dominated rock radio in the.

Speaker 6 (16:48):
Late nineteen nineties.

Speaker 7 (16:49):
But it suggests a lack of artistic merit and.

Speaker 6 (16:53):
A reliance on formula songwriting and production.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Okay, and then.

Speaker 6 (16:57):
It lacks its predictable lacks original reality. You know, all
these bands rely on the similar themes. That's what it's
a I says about it.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
I think a lot of people could make that argument
for songs have become popular without a doubt with it.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Uh. Next on the list for butt rock hit songs,
fly Leaf, I'm So sick Lacey could sing.

Speaker 6 (17:28):
She sang that in this studio one morning, just blew.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
My mind just live.

Speaker 7 (17:33):
Yeah, they did an acoustic but she sang it with
the same passion.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
It was incredible. Man. I bet you she blew out
some car speakers up.

Speaker 6 (17:40):
Money's incredible.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Three days, Grace, I hate everything about you. Yeah, bring
just one for sure?

Speaker 6 (17:55):
See that one next Thursday night.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Oh that's right, you're gonna be their son. Exemple Breaking Benjamin, The.

Speaker 13 (18:01):
Diary of Jane but rock for sure.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
Let's see who else is on here. I used to
love this one, Stone Sour bother Tory singing his heart
out blood rock.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
But rock sounds like a slur against good music. This
is good music.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Again, I'm not against it.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
Doesn't doesn't it sound like a slur though a music slur.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
I could see it being taken as a music slur.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Let's see you think about this one. Chavelle the Red
Start so light I was I was called this one
my slow head bang song. I love a head bang

(19:19):
on the feet, but it was always like on the
forest beat.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
Okay, gotcha?

Speaker 6 (19:26):
Have you seen Chabelle live?

Speaker 3 (19:30):
That's a good question. I'm sure I have opening up. Yeah,
I'm sure I have opening up for a.

Speaker 6 (19:34):
Play Sunday of Sonic Temple.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
They are technicians.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
What time, though, that's the question. Before Sunday night's gonna
be iffy for me by that time, it's time to
go to bed, gotta get up and work on Monday.

Speaker 6 (19:47):
I'm gonna say probably five thirty.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Oh yeah, there before Alison Change, was before Metallic of
the Headliner. Yeah, you're probably right, prob about five thirty
or so.

Speaker 6 (19:55):
Catch a couple one.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
I might stick around for him, let's see. Also on
the butt Rock, Disturbed, stricken. The more and more that
we go through this list, I love Butt Rocket right now.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
It's good.

Speaker 6 (20:18):
We have played every one of these songs. Still do
a lot of these.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
We still do it, for sure, smile, empty soul, bottom
of the bottle.

Speaker 14 (20:27):
On the butt Rocket, You've always show me.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Not as big as the other bands, but they did
have this hit song in two thousand and three, for sure.
Oh I used to love this one. Filter Welcome to
the Folds, I've always really loved I think they're great.

(21:09):
Also at Sonic Temple, are.

Speaker 6 (21:11):
They really and they will play early?

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Oh that one I'm gonna go where to go early?

Speaker 6 (21:19):
No, I'm sorry, I apologize.

Speaker 7 (21:21):
They are actually it's a side they're on the side stage,
but they're next to the last band on Thursday night.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
So oh, it's gonna be a tough one. I know.
Don't do that. Sorry, don't they think about the morning
radio DJs when they put together the set list and
the music we want to hear? I have some respect
for the arts of radio people. And then finally, Velvet

(21:47):
Revolver Slither I would put I would put Velvet Revolver

(22:08):
up there with one of the best supergroups, you know,
having having people come together from other big bands and
do a little side project. I love when that happens.
And they are way way up there for sure. Right again.
I just I think I'm loving some butt rock. I
agree four four five, five textins that I'm making a

(22:31):
butt rock playlist. I think I'm gonna do the same thing. Yeah,
I jam out to every single one of these songs.
For sure.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
I'm renaming. I don't like butt rock.

Speaker 8 (22:40):
I don't like we need a new name.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
We have way better name. He says, music is amazing.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
What would it be though, I don't know. Brandon says,
divorced Dad Rock is divorced Dad Rock without a doubt.
That makes so much more sense. Let's see Hinder in
the hinder would be a good one to add to

(23:06):
the playlist.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
How about shank Rock because it managed a really stabby
right in the gut. This is good.

Speaker 6 (23:12):
Shape, Shank Rock, Shank Rock.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
Okay, A got better.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
Hey, if you've got another record name recommendations, we'd love
to hear them. Nine had seven hundred, it's now you
had seven.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Let's come down the three things you need to know
before you go.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
This video is so wild that ODT posted yesterday and
the incident happened on Wednesday afternoon about five twenty five pm,
And it happened at the exit from seventy one south
to six seventy, So if you can picture that in
your mind, there was a red van that I guess
wanted to get off onto six seventy but was in

(23:50):
the middle lane and was missing the exit.

Speaker 6 (23:53):
Okay, came to a complete.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
Stop on the freeway during rush hour and sat there
with their blinker on to get over into the next lane,
into the exit lanes. So two more vans, these are
all vans that were involved in this. So two more
vans stopped behind the van. Other vehicles were driving around
the van on either side, and then a third van

(24:19):
was unable to stop slammed into the two vans in
front of them, the front van who caused this whole situation.
You could tell the van got bumped, but then it
just pulled off onto six seventy and took off, and
these three other vans behind are completely smashed. Yeah. No, unbelievable.

(24:41):
And there's no word. I don't know if they're looking
for this person or not. And they said the article
I read was like, well there was no accident report,
and I'm like, how could there not be an accident report?
So I don't know what's going on with it. I
guess they're looking for the driver of the red van.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
I would sure hope so.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
But you can't even believe it because you know they
knew they caused this accident and they took off.

Speaker 6 (25:05):
Well we've all missed an exit before, right, everybody.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Yeah you can't go, Yeah, you.

Speaker 7 (25:09):
Scream one or two or twenty seven cuss words, you
just go get the next closest exit to get back on.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
At one point, do you think coming to a complete
stop on the highway is a good idea? I mean,
come on, what goes through your head where you're like, oh, darn,
I missed I need.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
To stop, go to a complete stop and then run
away from an accident I caused anyway, it's insane. Hopefully
they're those two go hand in hand.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
If if you think, if there's no problem stopping on
a highway, then you have no problem thinking, oh, I
should just drive away from the accident I just cosed.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
I mean, I feel like they should sentence YouTube. But
before you can get behind the wheel again, you have
to go through a driver's course multi day. This isn't
a one day situation. You've obviously got a lot to learn.
A major shipping loophole has officially expired as of twelve
oh one this morning, the day Minimus exemption is no longer.
That rule allowed shipments of goods worth under eight hundred

(26:04):
dollars to come into the US duty free. Now those
shipments are subject to big tariffs, So your ultra low
cost she and Timu Ali Express orders will likely cost
about double what they did yesterday. Might take a little
bit longer to arrive now because they're going to be
all wrapped up in the paperwork that the bigger shipments
have already had to do. She and Timu did hike

(26:25):
prices on some goods ahead of this new rule, but
they're all going to be more expensive as of today.
Shark Ninja is recalling more than two million pressure cookers
sold in the US after consumers reported over one hundred
burn injuries stemming from a hazard that can cause hot
food to spew out. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission

(26:46):
says the Ninja branded foody Op three hundred series multifunction
pressure cookers have a lid that can be opened while
the cooker's in use, and then that causes the hot
contents to just, you know, lava right out the top
of that. So anyway, yeah, Shark Ninja has received one
hundred and six reports of burn injuries in the US,
including more than fifty reports of second and third degree

(27:08):
burns to the face and body. Twenty six lawsuits have
been filed against this piece of equipment.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
It took twenty six lawsuits from them to file a recall.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
Exactly okay, and if you've got one, stop using it
and contact Shark Ninja for a replacement.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
Lidkys straight up some bean counters doing the math and
saying we can pay out twenty six burn settlements as
opposed to making a full recall and what's going to
be cheaper.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
Although I will say you kind of broke my heart
when you started the story because I thought you were
going to say, like, the oceanographers have found a shark Ninja,
and I was about to get really excited.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
Yeah I really yeah, I set you up for a
real hard fall.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
They really did.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
Yeah, right, those are your three things.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
It's the Morning Blitz with Goose, Kelly and Thick.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Yeah, let's go side for another time. War of eight
one ninety nine seven, Oh for grabs. Sheng Weing tickets.
Very funny comedian coming to the Davison Theater on Saturday,
September twenty seventh. You want to get your laugh on.
We need a contestant right now to play the time warp.
Very simple game Think has compiled a montage of three
audio clues. It could be anything from a song, a

(28:38):
TV theme, a movie theme, a news clip. It could
be a clip from a movie or TV show, But
all three of the things you're gonna hear took place
in the same year, and Kelly, Goose and our contestant
are all going to take a guess as to what
that year is. Closest wins. Let's get ourselves a contestant blitz.
Good morning. Who's this?

Speaker 5 (28:59):
Good morning, Randa?

Speaker 1 (29:00):
How are you all right?

Speaker 3 (29:01):
Randa? I'm great. How's your Friday going so far?

Speaker 5 (29:04):
Perfect?

Speaker 8 (29:06):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (29:06):
We love you for it? All right, Randa Thick has
got the audio clip ready to go. Listen carefully. There's
gonna be three clips. All you have to do is
try and decide what year all three of those clips
took place in. So Kelly, you'll take a guess. I'll
take a guess. You'll take a guess, and we'll go
from there. After the clip, we'll give you the decision
if you want to go first or last. So Thick,

(29:26):
are you ready with the clip?

Speaker 6 (29:27):
I'm ready?

Speaker 3 (29:28):
All right? Here is today's time warp. I don't care
because all I want to do is Cass my second
drive right home to you.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
I did not have sexual relations for that woman.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
Okay, well, Ronda, it's your choice. Do you want to
go first at guessing the year that all those took
place in, or do you want to go last.

Speaker 5 (30:02):
I'm gonna let you guys go first.

Speaker 6 (30:04):
All right, random, okay, all right.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
I have no clue what that first one was.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
I can only assume it's King Queen.

Speaker 6 (30:15):
Of King of Queens.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Oh that was the theme song the King of Queen. Yes, oh, okay,
I thought it was a country song. Drive straight back
to you or obviously Bill Clinton in there. And then Corn,
I'm gonna say, oh, I need to have sexual relations
with that woman. When did the luck three thousand take place?

(30:44):
I'm gonna say ninety five, nineteen ninety five, Kelly, what
do you got?

Speaker 4 (30:54):
I think it's later than that, Okay, I think it's
more towards the later nineties. I'm going to say nineties seven,
ninety seven.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Okay, Rondo, we got ninety five ninety seven. You heard
the clues. Do you have a guess as to what
year all those took place?

Speaker 5 (31:17):
I do have a gift, and I think Kelly's a
little late, and I think you're close, but my answer
is going to be nineteen ninety four.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
Ninety four. All right, we got ninety four, ninety five,
Kelly jumped ahead to ninety seven. Think we got all
the clues, right, I'm assuming yes.

Speaker 7 (31:40):
Yeah, And of course the TV show whenever we use
it as the year that it debuted, right.

Speaker 8 (31:45):
You know?

Speaker 7 (31:45):
So yes, Bill Clinton said said that about Monica and
King of Queens came out and corns got the life
all came out. Happened in the year of nineteen ninety eight.

Speaker 6 (31:57):
Really that ye?

Speaker 3 (32:01):
All right? Well, Ronda, you ever happened?

Speaker 6 (32:06):
We're all three mess.

I love you.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
Yeah, we love you. Randon, thank you so much for
calling in. You hang on one second. We'll get some
info from you, and we'll have more chances to win
coming up next week nine ninety seven of the Blitz. So
I've shared the fact before that my father when I
was growing up, was a clown. He was a clown

(32:41):
in the shrine circus and he would do like kids
birthday parties and stuff. And do the full I would
watch him get ready in the in the bathroom with
the full white makeup, and he had these stick ons
so you protect you know, your mouth and your cheeks
so then you could paint them a different color because
you wanted the white base to go on and wow. Yeah,
he had to do the whole thing. And he had

(33:02):
the the wig and the and the onesie big colorful
zip up suit with the big poofy buttons. He had
the ketchup and mustard bottle that you squeezed and string
came out, you know, as he could scare people. He
made balloon animals very simple, like dogs and swords. He
wasn't one of those experts, but yeah, I used to

(33:23):
watch all that stuff. But here's my question, because I
saw an article and this is for the parents out there,
eight hundred eighty two to one ninety nine seven oh
or ninety nine seven hundred are clown Aren't clowns just
a terrible thing? Now? Like? Aren't they a bad thing?

Speaker 8 (33:43):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Does anybody like clowns anymore? Because I don't think so.
I think clowns are now associated more with scary than
they are with happy.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
Yeah, I mean, like Penny Wise obviously, and then I
wasn't there verifire. Was there a clown in one of
the American horror story yep?

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Oh didn't the Freak Show one? Right? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
Do feel like they're used in horror movies a lot.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Now, Yeah, I think the I think the chip Chips
of the World my father's clown name. I think the
Chip Chips of the World are bygones Now it's all
about people being scared of clowns.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
I loved Fisbo the clown who bought on Modern Family
cam played dressed up as a clown called Fizbo the Clown. Okay,
I love Fisbo the clown. Also did you ever see
the show the TV show Baskets with Zach Galifanakis.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
Oh, I saw like a couple episodes of that. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
It is probably in my top ten TV shows of
all time. It's so good. And the whole premise is
Zach Galifanakis goes to clown school in France and he's
bound and determined to be an artsy clos the whole
I mean mine, it's somewhat yeah, somewhat of a mine,

(35:06):
but acting as a clown and the only job he
could find after he left clown school was in Bakersfield, California,
where his family lived at a rodeo, like a failing rodeo.
It is a great show. I'm telling you now, that
kind of clown I love.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Vivian says, I've always had a dislike of clowns. You
don't know the person behind the paint. That is true, Blitz,
good morning, Hi, who's this?

Speaker 16 (35:29):
This is a juggling jack. I grew up a circus.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
I was a clown.

Speaker 6 (35:34):
I know, juggling jack.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Okay, Uh so you you grew up and you you
were a circus performer. Yeah.

Speaker 16 (35:42):
I worked for a pain family circus out of Marion, Ohio,
but we get hired by other circuses.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Okay, And did you notice or have you noticed a
change in the clown persona that people don't really appreciate
or like clowns anymore?

Speaker 16 (36:01):
Yeah, throughout the years, but it seems like it's coming
back now better because like thories of blow arts community,
you know what that is?

Speaker 3 (36:09):
Blow arts? No, that's like I call my ex girlfriend,
but I don't know any about the community.

Speaker 16 (36:16):
Blow art community that people have spen fired. They're gonna
blow our festivals. So what's called mainly fire festivals. Oh okay,
there's a lot of clowns that's coming back to that
blow art.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
Yeah, I get interest.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Okay, so that you think it's making a bit of
a resurgence, Yeah, okay.

Speaker 17 (36:38):
I know.

Speaker 16 (36:38):
I know quite a few clowns and it seems like
it's coming back. But it depends on the crowd that
you go to.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
No, absolutely, yeah, of course you want to make sure
that they're they're there to enjoy what they're seeing and
you're not going to their scam. Well, Jack the Juggler,
thank you so much for the call. I really appreciate it. Mike,
and Springfield says, I love clowns.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
Okay, we love Krusty the clown.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Krusty is a good one.

Speaker 7 (37:00):
See, as a kid growing up here in Columbus, we
had a we had a local y, Flip the Clowns,
great guy. Our kids loved him everything, So I never
had any negative connotations. And then, uh was what was
the Oh my god, I'm trying to hemer the puppet guy?

Speaker 6 (37:18):
Howdy duty?

Speaker 3 (37:19):
Was it?

Speaker 6 (37:20):
Tinker Bell?

Speaker 1 (37:21):
That the clown on?

Speaker 6 (37:22):
How Those are my two clowns of my childhood, and
they were good clowns.

Speaker 7 (37:27):
Nice and everybody loved them, so I never had any
okay feelings about.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
Couple people brought up John Wayne Gacy.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
Uh, I could totally see that clown for a person.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Yeah, And it also falls into place when you know,
when you're you remember the song that you lost your
virginity to. If it's you know, there's a big problem.
I can see why you don't like clowns. It's ninety
nine seven of the Blitz. All right, how did you
hurt yourself self induced injury? What did you do to

(37:59):
your eight hundred and eight two to one ninety nine
seven zero or shotes a text at ninety nine seven hundred.
I bring it up because we were talking about Thick
putting together his drug shack greenhouse in his backyard. And
while doing so, while building it himself, connecting two pieces
of wood, you had a very thin drill bit head
to drill the wood well through the wood and then

(38:23):
went straight through your finger, through your fingertip, and then
out by your nail, all the way through.

Speaker 7 (38:28):
And I saw it all. I watched it go through.
That was the craziest part of it. And you know
it happened so fast.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
Did you like reverse the drill to get it out,
or did you just yank your finger off it?

Speaker 6 (38:39):
No, I did well, kind of both.

Speaker 7 (38:41):
I just pulled down and up with my hand because
I was going I was drilling straight up and I
was holding at the top, and I just misjudged it
because I was hurrying and being careless, and so as
soon as it went up, I pulled right back down
and pulled the hand up and the blood just started squirting.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
Oh man, that does remind me the one, the one
construction project I ever did. We had like a work
shed and we ended up turning it into kind of
like an outdoor bar. We put in a TV and
a kitchen. We actually had a bar in there, but
it had a workbend. We had to rip out the workbench.
We wanted to redrywall and spackle and do all the things.

(39:16):
And there was a piece of wood on the ground
that I was just kind of walking. Didn't notice that
the piece of wood was from the workbench and had
a nail through, and I stepped and went through my
gym shoe into my foot. Oh God, thankfully, thankfully, Like
I didn't put all if I didn't go through my foot,
I felt the prick of the nail, and I was like, oh,

(39:36):
and I picked my foot up, so it led, but
it didn't go like all the way through my foot.

Speaker 6 (39:42):
I mean, because you can you imagine going all the
way down? I mean, can you pull.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
Your foot off of that?

Speaker 8 (39:46):
Or what do you need to do?

Speaker 3 (39:47):
I don't think. I think at that point that's an
er visit with the nail still is still in. I mean,
what if it's what if it's attached to something under Yeah,
it was. It was attached to a piece of wood too, Like.

Speaker 4 (39:57):
You pull your foot up. I really feel like probably
God proudly listen to this. Chris texted in and put
a pitchfork all the way through my foot, removing Alga
from a pond. He said it hurt worst to remove
it than it did.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
All the way through. Blitz, Good morning. How did you
hurt yourself?

Speaker 8 (40:18):
Hello?

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Hello, Blitz plea.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
And I, oh, all right, what she did hurt yourself
by not talking to us?

Speaker 3 (40:31):
Hy Blitz? Good morning? Who's this?

Speaker 15 (40:32):
So?

Speaker 18 (40:33):
I came home from my rack in two thousand and
five after being in illusion in two thousand and four, Well,
thank you very much, and broke my back.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
Oh no, you broke your back?

Speaker 18 (40:44):
How did you do it jet skiing on my stepbrother's
jet ski jet skiing?

Speaker 3 (40:49):
You broke everything everything you went through.

Speaker 18 (40:52):
Listen, I crushed my exactly. I come home from my
racks physically all in one piece. I go on leave
and I crushed my all three jet skiing, so they
had to replace that to.

Speaker 8 (41:04):
Have a good time.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
Did you get a medical discharge?

Speaker 18 (41:08):
I did, and unfortunately that was going to be my
chosen career as a mine.

Speaker 14 (41:13):
But I know, wow, thank you so much.

Speaker 6 (41:18):
Are you all good now? But are you all good now?

Speaker 18 (41:20):
Actually yes, the doctor said it was a miracle that
my spinal cord wasn't crushed so I can walk.

Speaker 4 (41:25):
Oh, thank goodness.

Speaker 18 (41:26):
Absolutely, yes, So, but yeah, that was that was the
worst self induced injury I think I ever heard.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
Oh absolutely, that's a bad one. Yeah. Were you trying
to like a flip or something or did you just
chuck yourself off and waves?

Speaker 18 (41:41):
I was jumping up waves and when I landed, I
didn't land. I didn't land with my feet. I landed
completely on the seat and my back was kind of
like went back. But unfortunately, because we were in the
Delaware River and it was a barge being pulled out
there was another wave right in front of it, and
I did the same exactly.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Oh no, thank.

Speaker 5 (42:02):
God fall off.

Speaker 18 (42:03):
I was able to lay on the front of the
jet ski and get in there. Wow the hospital, but
you know, I mean, or I would have been in
the river like and it would have been like this
huge rescue.

Speaker 15 (42:13):
But yeah, I was.

Speaker 18 (42:14):
I ended up getting medically discharged because I was not.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
That Holy cow is crazy.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
My desk chair came out from under me at work
and my foot connel on the desk and broke my
ankle on both sides.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
Wait, how did your work chair just come out from
underneath you? Were you like rocking back and forth?

Speaker 2 (43:56):
No, I just leaned over a little bit to put
some paper in my cabinet and it was a brand
new chair and it came out from under me, just shut.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
Off from underneath you. But your foot was caught.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
And then from over compensating with the ankle thing, I
tore my other knee up.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
And oh my god, that's not a good year. That
is not a good year.

Dominic dominic.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
How did you injure yourself?

Speaker 10 (44:35):
Uh?

Speaker 11 (44:36):
Fourth of July this past year, I went to go
take my brother in law jet ski out, had a
gas leak in it. I hit the star button and
the jet ski exploding, having to go to the having
to go to the emergency department and have burt.

Speaker 15 (44:56):
Flesh removed from my skin. Quite the experience.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
Just hot slush stuck to your skills.

Speaker 15 (45:04):
Yes, yes, my beard, my hair, whole nine yards Are you.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
All right now? Yeah? What was it? Like a movie?
Like it didn't start right away?

Speaker 15 (45:17):
It was like, yeah, it blew up. I felt my
beard and hair on fire and I jumped off the
jet skin of the water. It was, yeah, it was.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
What was worse experience? What was worse the hot slush
stuck to and melting your skin or all the smell
of burnt hair, because we know how bad that smells like.
It's just awful and if it's right onto your face.

Speaker 15 (45:43):
Your beard, burning hair, burning hair. I smelled for.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
A long time, I believe it.

Speaker 11 (45:49):
I thought of jumping into the nasty lake water with
all these fresh open wounds, because that was that was
pretty rough.

Speaker 3 (45:56):
I could have turned into something terrible, was it?

Speaker 4 (45:59):
Local?

Speaker 15 (46:00):
Good of.

Speaker 6 (46:02):
Late Seneca.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
Okay, well, thanks for the call man. I'm glad everything's
all right. Eight hundred and one ninety nine seven. Oh
I'm not done with this yet. How did you injure yourself?
We want to hear your story now, ninety nine seven
of the Blitz. How did you injure yourself? Kelly? You
never told the story. How did you injure yourself?

Speaker 15 (46:21):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (46:21):
Well, let's see. I was a young girl, maybe twelve
thirteen years old, and I was in gymnastics classes. I
love gymnastics, and I was like always you know, people
could do those like standing backflips, and I'm like, I pretty,
I feel like I can do it. I feel like
I can. So I tried in our family room and

(46:43):
I landed, oh, flat on my head, right on my head.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
Oh yeah, that's not good.

Speaker 4 (46:48):
And did get out of gym class for the next
week because I had a concussion.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
You can cuss yourself?

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Can custom myself?

Speaker 3 (46:53):
That reminds me of when I was like four, I
was being baby sat and there was like this. It
was like a gym shoe on wheels. It was basically
for you to push your feet, you know, it rolled
and it had handlebars you could steer it and I
and I popped a wheelie too close to the fireplace
and it came out from underneath me and I split
my head open on the corner of the fireplace. I
had to get like five stitches of the back of

(47:14):
my head bledz. Good morning, Ashley. How did you injure yourself? Ashley? Ashley,
are you there?

Speaker 19 (47:23):
That was taking a shower? And yeah, yeah, I was
taking a shower and I only had a little bit
of conditioner left, so I decided to get some scissors
and try and open the conditioner bottle and it slipped
and I stabbed the webbing and my thumb and my finger,

(47:43):
and the crazy the crazy part is it really didn't
hurt that bad and it didn't bleed. But the part
that always drives people crazy is that I finished my shower,
I dried my hair, and I drove myself to urgent care.

(48:03):
So why not that's such a big hole that.

Speaker 5 (48:06):
You could actually see my muscle or anything.

Speaker 19 (48:12):

bad it was, and it was bad.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
I can tell Molly last one, Molly, how did you
injure yourself?

Speaker 5 (50:58):
Hi?

Speaker 21 (50:58):
So I was working at a our dealership. I was
probably about nineteen years old, and it was a nice
day and I was walking and well not walking. I
was skipping between the used car trailer and the service
department and tripped in a pot whole face planet, skidded
across the parking lot, broke my nose. Luckily I still
had all my teeth got up. I should have been

(51:19):
concussed and knocked out, but I got up and started
walking in to the service department and the manager saw
me and his face just flip blint one one. Oh
my mom. They called nine one one, and they called
my mom, and my mom actually beat the ambulance player.
I broke my nose. It turns out I ended up
happening to go on to have like three other nose
surgeries to try to fix it. While it was still worken,

(51:40):
I had to get my My septum was DBA, so
I go back and get that fit. So it was crazy.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
So that, yeah, I more important question who skips around?
It worked like?

Speaker 4 (51:54):
I love my.

Speaker 21 (51:55):
Job and I was going in between the two buildings
to get reports and I was just skipping. I was
going too, apparently, and upon.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
We're singing like we're off to see the Wizard. Like skipping.

Speaker 21 (52:06):
That's exactly what it probably looks like.

Speaker 6 (52:09):
Your inner child comes out from time to time.

Speaker 4 (52:12):
You're skipping.

Speaker 21 (52:12):
I still know people that work there, and apparently I'm
infamous and the right like, don't do dumb things like
Molly and Kipp in the parking lot.

Speaker 3 (52:23):
Yeah, you probably should. Thanks for the call, Molly. I
hope you have a great one. All right, you keep
your headphones on now, Kelly, we're gone, Okay, all right,
thanks Seve of the Blizz Now the.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Three things you need to know before you go Trial.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
Data is now set for the son of two New
Albany church founders, who is accused of sexually abusing young girls.
Case against Tom Cassi will be moving forward in Knox County,
with the trial starting July first.

Speaker 8 (52:49):
Case.

Speaker 4 (52:49):
He has pleaded not guilty to a number of charges,
including rape and gross sexual imposition. The abuseles allegedly happening
between two thousand and two and twenty eleven against three
victims who were under the age of thirteen. Because See
himself was twelve years old at the time when the
initial crimes are reported to have happened, but the crimes
allegedly continued until he was around twenty two years old.

(53:10):
A twenty five year old Delaware man is facing federal
charges after prosecutors say he sent sexually explicit messages to
at least two minor girls, one in Louisiana and one
in Colorado. Brett Farley is charged with exploitation of a
minor possession of child porn. He's accused of snapchatting sexually
explicit messages and videos to a fourteen year old Louisiana

(53:31):
girl and asked her to send pictures and videos in return. Well,
she saved all of the communication, showed it all to
her parents. They called police, and then the girl blocks
Farley on the app. So he's accused of then texting
the girl and her parents and harassing them, and then
sending pizza to their home that they did not order obviously,
which was connected to his phone number.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
Just think I'm smart people.

Speaker 4 (53:55):
No, they traced him so easily to Delaware, Ohio, and then,
of course police discovered a second active investigation was already
happening involving Brett Farley and an underage girl in Colorado
well as the Southwest Airlines plane was taxiing at El
Paso International Airport on Wednesday morning, preparing to take off

(54:15):
for Houston. A passenger cell phone went up in flames.
The plane returned to the gate where everyone disembarked normally
and eventually boarded a different plane and headed to Houston.
The flight crew quickly put out the fire. So the
flight crew put out the fire. So it wasn't in
the luggage. Did it burst into flames in someone's hand

(54:37):
or sitting out?

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Yeah? Well, I'll tell you what I don't. I hope
they don't take cell phones away from us. I don't know.
I don't know how they would because you can't put
it in your luggage. You can't pack lithium batteries in
your luggage anyways. Yeah, so you don't have to leave
your cell phone at home if you decide.

Speaker 6 (54:56):
To fly cool.

Speaker 4 (55:00):
My cell phone does get pretty hot, doesn't your cell
phone get kind of hot sometimes if you're.

Speaker 3 (55:04):
Really are It's plugged in every once in a blue moon,
but not really.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
One time my husband left his iPad. It was kind
of like a really old school iPad. He left it
plugged in like forever it just sat on the plug like,
sat charging for like months. This thing, the battery like
blew apart the casing, and I'm like, I don't I
feel like we should. We ended up just throwing in

(55:31):
the trash. I don't think you're supposed to do. That
is many years ago, so statute to limitations. But it
was the wildest thing. Like, those batteries are not exactly
stable if you're not.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
And I bet well they do deteriorate. So I bet
this person's cell phone is a really old cell phone.
And that's why I burst into.

Speaker 4 (55:47):
Like, I have an iPhone eleven and it gets pretty hot.
What are we looking at here?

Speaker 3 (55:51):
You might want to get that upgraded soon?

Speaker 4 (55:53):
All right, I'll tell my husband.

Speaker 3 (55:54):
Yeah, pretty sure you're eligible. Friend. Do you have the
fifteen or sixteen or whatever within a year or two?

Speaker 4 (56:04):
Oh? Good for you.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
Well, actually I had to get one because my phone
stopped working while on vacation. I was at a bachelor party.
Oh yeah, and my cell phone just stopped working. So
I had to go get I had to go buy
a new phone. I was not happy about it.

Speaker 4 (56:18):
All right, those are your three things.

Speaker 3 (56:29):
Well, we are not six days away from the beginning
of sonic temple, which means we are a week and
two days away from Mother's Day. That's right, Mother's Day
coming here a week from Sunday. And you know, if
you've got plans to hang out with your mom, maybe
do a Mother's Day brunch. Or the weather's supposed to

(56:50):
be pretty nice, maybe're doing a Mother's Day barbecue. The
number one thing that mom wants is a nap, as surveyed.
She just wants a nap in a little quiet time.
So maybe dad's get the kids out of the house
for a little bit and leave mom alone from you know,
one to four, and then come home and cook her

(57:12):
some dinner. If you want to get her a gift,
well what if Paltrow and her website goop ge are
here to help. They have put together their Mother's Day
gift guide. They've got everything from something small to something big,
beginning at like a twenty five dollars memory journal. Maybe
she can journal about the kids and their days growing up.

Speaker 4 (57:36):
So you're giving her homework for Mother's Day.

Speaker 3 (57:40):
Some people like to journal.

Speaker 4 (57:41):
I guess it's kind of nice too. Let me tell
you to have your mom write down memories and stuff
like that. Now do it now? People?

Speaker 3 (57:50):
Do you have Do you have a journal or did
you keep diaries?

Speaker 4 (57:53):
I used to until I thought, you know, what if
I dropped dead by some happenstance.

Speaker 3 (58:00):
Uh huh.

Speaker 4 (58:00):
I don't want a soul reading these journals. So I
piled them all up in my backyard and burned them
to a crisp And I have never written down a
single word since. Really, yeah, no, huh huh.

Speaker 3 (58:11):
I was really hoping you'd bring some in and reach
the old Kelly memories.

Speaker 4 (58:15):
It's all. It was pretty grim back then? Was it
pretty grim?

Speaker 3 (58:20):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (58:20):
All right, you do you journal?

Speaker 3 (58:23):
I did. I remember doing it for a very short
period of time, but that was about it.

Speaker 9 (58:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
My journal turned into more like my joke book when
I was doing a lot of stand up comedy. And
I know I still have one or two in the
basement and I've gone through them, and it's just like
the idea of a joke or the beginning of a story,
and I don't finish it. So it's just like a
little hodgepodges of stuff.

Speaker 4 (58:45):
That's kind of cool.

Speaker 3 (58:47):
I'll see next time I go home. I'll grab them, yeah,
and flip through them. Anyways, the journal starts at twenty
five dollars on Gwyneth Paltrow's website Goop. It also goes
all the way up to a seventeen thousand dollars necklace
if you want to get extravagant. But you can also
jump on there and on the Mother's Day Gift Guide
on Goop there's a beautiful little Womanizer enhancement experience. She's

(59:13):
selling sex toys. On the Mother's Day Gift Guide, they
got a couple of sex toys up there.

Speaker 4 (59:21):
Honest to God, you do not want that kind of
relationship with your own mother where you're giving where you're
that's a gift that is appropriate for you to give
your own mom.

Speaker 3 (59:29):
I want to know right now eight two ninety eighty
seven oh or ninety nine seven hundred creepy who please call?
I will keep it anonymous. Who type of relationship where
you would give your mom a battery operated buddy. I'm
dying to know. Be like, Yeah, I can't imagine my

(59:49):
Like is your mom?

Speaker 4 (59:50):
Your mom is not your best friend?

Speaker 3 (59:53):
Have you grown up watching your mom just be high
strung in tense all the time, and you're like, you
need to relax a little bit here you go boo.
I can't. I can't even fathom. I had a great
relationship my mom, my mom, and I joked all the time.
I am not getting her big Blue. It is not happening. No,

(01:00:17):
who's got that type of relationship. If you want to
visit the Goop website, look up the Mother's Day Gift
Guide's right there for you. Nine nine seven The blitz.

Speaker 10 (01:00:27):
Not so breaking news. The news already broke. We're trying
to put it back together.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
All right, let's take a lecture. Not so breaking news.
And I don't know how this could ever happen. I
can't imagine ever confusing the two. But there was a
young woman who wanted to go get a massage. She
was feeling a bit tense, a bit tight, and sometimes
you just go get your massage. Take a listen to
what you had to say.

Speaker 22 (01:00:55):
I accidentally had a massage at a brook. I went
and just had a massage. The other week after the gym,
my neck was sought. Well, since then, I've found out
that it is.

Speaker 14 (01:01:04):
A full service.

Speaker 22 (01:01:06):
There were flags and they were red and waving, and
when it was halfway through, a guy walked in and
he was like, oh no, I'm going to wait for
that other person, And I was like, if she's actually
giving me a great massage for that, then she didn't
change the towel or the facing or anything. When I left,
she was just like out next they were probably so
confused as saying I'm a chrissur nick.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
She walked into a brothel thinking I'm just gonna get
a massage. But here's the bigger insult is she's laying
there kind of half undressed because she's getting a massage.
A guy walks in who knows it's a brothel, looks
at her and goes, no, I'll wait for the other woman.

Speaker 5 (01:01:52):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
W Well, oh, I would be so mad if someone
if someone walked in think it was a brothel, thinking
I'm the person they're going to be paying and having
interactions with, and they look at me and go.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
Can I see the catalog? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
Oh that would damage my soul. So, but how do
you confuse a massage parlor with a brothel.

Speaker 4 (01:02:20):
I don't feel like it's that hard to be quite honest,
So I don't get massages. I never so if I
wanted one, I would just have to trust that this
corner massage parlor wasn't gonna try to give me a
happy ending.

Speaker 6 (01:02:34):
Some massage parlors are brothels.

Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
No, I understand that, but it's pretty obvious which ones
are which.

Speaker 4 (01:02:41):
It's not like the Old West where you're going into
the saloon and you got the women up on the
top floor and you're like, hey, cozying up for a sasparilla.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
Yeah, I understand it. But like she said in her video,
like she said when she made the video, there was
some red flags and they were waving like you you
could tell you can come on.

Speaker 4 (01:03:01):
But if you really need a massage, you're ignoring those
red flags. You just want the massage real bad.

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
I mean I had I had a former coworker, a
former morning show co host that would visit one particular
one on his drive to Detroit across ninety six and
he would stop at the same one every time on
his drive. He goes it was the perfect like drive
breakup after driving like, you know, three hours and you
got another two and a half to go, you take
that mid drive break. Hey we go.

Speaker 4 (01:03:29):
I'm like, really, I'd wait the ill the illegal.

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
Cart a little R and tr craft there. I don't
think so, oh I think so. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:03:40):
I was like, it's weird that you would admit it, Like,
oh yeah, he would admit that to you. Had no
feels kind of skevy a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:03:48):
I don't know if I could do it. I don't
know if I could do it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:50):
No, man, you don't know where those hands have been.

Speaker 3 (01:03:56):
And then and then they're they're they're they're rough hands,
and it's like, yeah, yeah, I don't need lizard hands.
Rum it all over me. I'm good, all right. On
the story number two, I think we've all experienced road
rage at some point. I'm the most late person there is.
I don't really get mad at stuff. The only thing

(01:04:18):
that will drive me fuming to a screaming level is
if someone is driving slow in the left hand lane.
I will lose my sh behind this person.

Speaker 6 (01:04:29):
It seems to be a thing that's going around.

Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
Oh absolutely, Although I have never been this man mad.
A woman in Pennsylvania I was so upset at another
driver that she slammed on her brakes for the car
from the car tail getting her behind her, jumped out
of her car, ran over to the car, and pooped
on the hood. There's a whole video on TikTok of

(01:04:52):
this thing. Yes, she gets out of her car, she
runs over, she pulls her pants down, and she and
here's the thing. I don't know to say this. Uh uh,
it was it was more of a liquid than a solid.
Let's just put it that way.

Speaker 4 (01:05:11):
She's probably she's probably already really needing to go to
the bathroom, like she's like freaking, and then this guy's
causing her more anxiety, which is stirring things up even more.

Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
Well, let me tell you one way I do get
out of road rage. And I don't think my ex
for a lot, but I will thank her for this.
She taught me that if you see someone being a
real jackass on the road and you're getting really mad
at them for driving like a jerk and doing all
these things, all you do is have to think that
person must have to poop real bad.

Speaker 4 (01:05:38):
And we've all been there, Yes, so you can have
some sympathy.

Speaker 3 (01:05:41):
I like that. Do we still have that? Let me
take a listen. Yes, what that's what she called her
for moving on the hood of her car. A witness

(01:06:02):
caught the whole thing again. You can see the video online.
Words were Exchange. Police recalled. They didn't identify the parking
pooper as a forty four year old Christina Simelto. She's
facing charges. I just saw it.

Speaker 4 (01:06:17):
Oh you can see her doing it? Oh yeah, buddy,
I gotta see.

Speaker 6 (01:06:22):
This running down the hood of her car.

Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
She's now facing charges of indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief,
and depositing waste on the highway.

Speaker 6 (01:06:32):
Everybody's got to come over.

Speaker 17 (01:06:33):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:06:40):
That is sick. That is some light brown, Yeah, it is.

Speaker 13 (01:06:46):
It is.

Speaker 3 (01:06:47):
It is that woman needs more fiber in her diet.

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
That is not And if you see some if somebody
does that on the hood of your car, is the
first thing you're thinking to yell, is.

Speaker 14 (01:06:59):
You slut right.

Speaker 3 (01:07:03):
And I'll poop on my car?

Speaker 15 (01:07:05):
You slip?

Speaker 3 (01:07:07):
That's not the first one.

Speaker 4 (01:07:09):
You can't even believe that. Your mind's going crazy and
you can't think of the right words.

Speaker 6 (01:07:13):
So, yeah, can't you what.

Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
The blitz? All right? It's Friday, trying to get your
weekend together. It is gonna be a little rainy off
and on throughout the week, and not exactly super warm.
It's gonna be nice highest sixty three sixty five, but
the perfect weather to kind of walk around inside and
check out some cool stuff and that's why you need

(01:07:39):
to go to hell City tattoof Fest going down at
the Regent Height Hyatt Regency. There we go downtown. We're
here with Derb, the organizer, the owner of hell City
and Red treet Tattoo. And let me tell you, you
know that you're dealing with an icon for when you
when you do certain things. And so yesterday I went

(01:08:03):
over to Red Tree and Dante, amazing artist, hooked me
up with some new art, uh to to pay homage
to my love of radio. I got a I got
an on air sign on one of my forearms and
a microphone with headphone and they do. He did such
a good job, unbelievable. Yeah. But here's the thing this,
I know Derb is just an absolute icon because, first

(01:08:24):
of all, Red Tree is one of the most gorgeous
tattoo studios the ever you go to, with all the
amazing original art you guys have, But you cannot turn
around in this place without seeing some sort of amazing
printed article that someone has written about Derb and Red
Tree and holl City tattooed in a wild career. I
took a break from the tattooing to go use the

(01:08:46):
restroom I'm standing there taking a leak. I look over,
there's Derv staring at me from an article articles in
the bathroom. He ran out a room to post articles
about it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:55):
That's awesome.

Speaker 7 (01:08:56):
Well, a few months ago, we actually were on the
air talking about tattoos.

Speaker 6 (01:09:00):
I just threw it out there. I said, who tell us, you.

Speaker 7 (01:09:02):
Know, the listeners, tell us who is the best tattoo
artist in central Ohio. And we must have got a
thousand texts and eighty percent of them were either DRB.

Speaker 6 (01:09:11):
Or it was one of your artists from Red Tree
and Red Tree.

Speaker 9 (01:09:15):
Are incredible artists like Dante that we recommended him to.
Everybody's got different styles in the studio too, so pretty
much just it's a shop. It's Ohio's largest tattoo studio
in any style of tattooing. One of our artists hasn't
covered le Yeah, it's it's amazing. And with it being
the largest in Ohio, it's the largest like tattoo studio
with a full art gallery in it too, So it's

(01:09:36):
a it's a different shop. It's appointment only, you know,
which is kind of allows us to focus on our
clients a lot better, you know, that way than walkins.
I also loved watching the progression of You're a different
hairstyles through the years.

Speaker 3 (01:09:52):
At one point. All right, So Hell's any Tattoo Fest
kicks off today. Doors open at noon noon Friday, Saturday sun.

Speaker 6 (01:10:00):
Man.

Speaker 9 (01:10:00):
This is our twenty third year. We've done thirty six
shows in twenty three years. We also do in Phoenix, Arizona,
in about four months. It's we call it It's America's
Favorite tattoo Festival. We have, you know, all the artists
of television. We keep a super high caliber of artists,
like even when we review all of the artists, because
we want it to be the highest caliber of everything,

(01:10:20):
you know, visual entertainment artists, seminars, live painting. There's a
lot of stuff that goes on that people don't realize
are a part of tattooing in the culture.

Speaker 3 (01:10:29):
And Jeff, you're here. You are the official announcer for
Helstika Tattoo Fest.

Speaker 8 (01:10:33):
Yeah, MC and host.

Speaker 3 (01:10:35):
Okay, so you're gonna be I mean, obviously there's there's
not only the tattoo going on, lots of entertainment. So
I'm assuming you're going to be introducing like the live acts,
the burlesque acts, all the things going on on the
seminars and things like that. Yeah, and then we have.

Speaker 8 (01:10:49):
A variety of competitions that we run.

Speaker 23 (01:10:51):
A lot of people don't realize that goes on at
a tattoo convention if you haven't spent time at one.
And so we have categories throughout the weekend for different types,
different genres of tattoos. So sometimes like traditional or large,
like large, black and gray, small, black and gray, portrait,
all these different categories.

Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
Yeah, if you want to if you want to show
off your art, come down to ender one of these contests,
because there's all kinds of category. It's like head to head.

Speaker 9 (01:11:15):
People are up there, they want to win those hell
City custom trophies, you know, and they're up on the
big screens in front of the crowd. Jeff does amazing.
He keeps the crowd entertained the entire weekend. He's funny,
he's got good trivia. He's done it for twenty three
years straight with us, so he's got to show down.
It runs like a well oiled machine.

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
At this point, Robert just textan, how good are you
covering up major scars? I get you get creative with
scars and tattooing and things like.

Speaker 9 (01:11:39):
That you kind of have to to sometimes major scars.
You know, we call it scar camouflaging. You know, the
tattoo can kind of hide some of the imperfections in skin.
I've tattooed a lot of clients that have scar tissue
or people that have lost weight, that have like balbous
veins or you know, you can see scretch marks, Yeah,
stretch marks, and when you tattoo over it, it changes their lives, Yeah,

(01:12:00):
because they've visually been looking at these imperfections and then
tattoo kind of beautifies their their skin to them at
that point, you know, and gets rid of all the
stuff they've been seeing on their skin.

Speaker 3 (01:12:09):
For everything it is, tattooing is an absolute science with
what they can do and the different shading. I think
my new favorites are the embroidered tattoos that look like
and you know, the whole outside is black like little little.

Speaker 8 (01:12:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:12:30):
There's some things being done on tattoos that you didn't
you can fathom back.

Speaker 23 (01:12:33):
And we're seeing people come then even the competitions that
have have had like double the stectomy, uh yeah, and
then they have yeah, and they've they've.

Speaker 8 (01:12:42):
It depends on what what happens. Sometimes you can have
like an.

Speaker 23 (01:12:46):
Artist that's really really really good at this, do a
realistic like tattoo of a nipple to give somebody sort
of the feeling we have that there. Sometimes they'll take
they won't do that, but they'll have the whole entire
breast to as a canvas and then do some sort
of elaborate piece that you wouldn't be able to do
right in another situation.

Speaker 3 (01:13:04):
So it just depends on what was going to help
build the conference.

Speaker 9 (01:13:07):
Tattoos can be any kind of therapeutic as well.

Speaker 3 (01:13:09):
Yeah, really cool.

Speaker 9 (01:13:10):
And we do have the nipple replacement you know tattooers
there and everything to so cosmetic tattooers are also a
Hell City artistic tattooers.

some sort of like West Side story snapping fingers and
the chim rumble goes down or like the non convention

(01:14:24):
is this weekend at the Higher Region. We had a while.

Speaker 9 (01:14:26):
We've had mixes of different conventions over the years, and
the first.

Speaker 8 (01:14:29):
Year was the was the volleyball Yeah, the volleyball competition.
The hyatt was like, I don't know how we feel
about these guys quite yet.

Speaker 23 (01:14:39):
Yeah, And they found that our our whole team and
all the people that were at our convention were the
easy ones to deal with.

Speaker 8 (01:14:45):
People love are like community there.

Speaker 23 (01:14:48):
And it was the volleyball people in the h Then
you had the restaurants were like you guys.

Speaker 9 (01:14:56):
Then you had the volleyball kids trying to get into
the convention because their parents were in the get tattooed. Yeah, like, hey, kid,
go play volleyball.

Speaker 3 (01:15:03):
I'm going to Hell City your tattooed.

Speaker 7 (01:15:05):
I know last year, you guys got stuck the same
week in the Sonic Temple.

Speaker 9 (01:15:08):
Yeah, because that's our same crowd. Yeah, you know, absolutely
we didn't. It didn't happen this year. You know, next
year we're thinking, if it does end up on the dates,
we might make it free entry for any Sonic Temple wristbands.
You know, just oh there you go, all come get
their tattoos. You can't be a rock star without your tattoos.
Tattoos a lot of rock stars and they consider the
tattooers or the rock stars to the rock stars.

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
Speaking of which, let's uh, I want to do this
real quick, because don't don't look at my computer. So
I'm gonna I wanna quiz you here and see how
good you do. All right, let's see here, all right,
the two most tattooed objects are what objects or person No, no, no,

(01:15:53):
things that people get tattoos. Most things A lot of skulls.

Speaker 9 (01:16:00):
To be honest, you see a lot of skulls and tattoos,
whether it's you know, skull and a robe, you know,
or like so I would say a lot of like
death to you know, like it's like an homage to death.
So like skulls and skeletal stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:16:12):
You see a.

Speaker 8 (01:16:12):
Lot about the mom tattoo.

Speaker 9 (01:16:14):
Yeah, I was gonna say, like hearts and flowers for
like memorial type of stuff, you know, like mom tattoos,
Dad tattoos.

Speaker 3 (01:16:22):
Interesting.

Speaker 9 (01:16:22):
But again right now, like you're talking about the stitch tattoos,
there's tattoos being done that we never thought would be
a style, you know, or anything like that.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
So all right, well, I will say from from real quick,
from from the facts or from the fact sheet, it's
kind of the opposite of what you said. Okay, they
said angels and hearts.

Speaker 9 (01:16:42):
Yes, absolutely, Maybe it's wishable thinking on my part because
like skulls, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:16:47):
The tattoo industry, Americans spend how much on tattoos every year?
How much is the tattoo industry world?

Speaker 9 (01:16:55):
Because every tattooer is charged is different. I'd say the
serious collector every year, if they're going to a really
good this is collective.

Speaker 3 (01:17:03):
This is collective.

Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
Every billion.

Speaker 9 (01:17:07):
Yeah, I would say ten to twenty thousand for the
average guy.

Speaker 8 (01:17:10):
No, no, he's ain't for the entire.

Speaker 3 (01:17:12):
For every country individual Americans.

Speaker 9 (01:17:16):
Man, it's a billion dollar industry.

Speaker 3 (01:17:20):
One point sixty five billion dollars. Ye, yeah, thank you.
DERM has seventy seven percent of that working on it.
Let's see, let's go with Okay, here we go. Uh,
US adults between the ages of twenty six and forty.
US adults between the ages of twenty six and forty,

(01:17:43):
how many what percentage of adults between the ages of
twenty six and forty have a tattoo?

Speaker 9 (01:17:50):
Eighty five percent a little bit on the high end,
all right, seventy five percent still a little bit on
the high Come on, peop, we need to get more.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
Tattoos out there. Percentage right up, I'm gonna say sixty two,
not quite about forty percent.

Speaker 9 (01:18:06):
Yeah, come on, people, get it together. The tattoos are
one of the most primal things. There's oldest k paintings.
We need to get more people tattoo. Let's go that
is true.

Speaker 3 (01:18:16):
All right. Finally, let's see there is a big box
store whose logo is because the owner had a tattoo.
It's a famous store, a big box store. You see
it at a lot of malls. I'll put it that way.
It's usually an anchor store at a mall and their

(01:18:36):
logo is from a tattoo because the owner had a tattoo. Tattoo.
He got the tattoo while working on a whaling ship
as a teenager, and it became the logo for his
company that way back in. No, this is an anchor store,

(01:18:56):
like one of the big ones, not inside the ball.
We're talking about one of the big box store. Well,
I mean the big body st as in there everywhere.
So it's not Orange Julius. Not Orange Julius, No.

Speaker 8 (01:19:07):
I have no absolutely.

Speaker 7 (01:19:09):
I'm thinking of like Sears or You're gloss is quite
know their logo.

Speaker 3 (01:19:15):
There you go, the red star of Macy's was because R. H.
Macy got a red star tattoo while working on a
whaling ship as a teenager, So that became the low.

Speaker 9 (01:19:26):
Every tattoo artist, a tatoo collector need to support Macy's more.

Speaker 3 (01:19:29):
Start shopping. Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (01:19:32):
Can I ask a really quick question, is there a
place that somebody comes in and says, this is where
I want a tattoo that you're like on the body,
on the body. Is it like, okay, I'll do it,
but I hate doing it.

Speaker 9 (01:19:43):
Yeah, certain areas are definitely more difficult to tattoo on people.

Speaker 3 (01:19:46):
You know.

Speaker 9 (01:19:47):
One, I don't like to do face like face tattoos
on people unless they're like heavily like if you already
know what it's like to live as a heavily covered,
you know, tattooed person, then I'll tattoo your face.

Speaker 3 (01:19:56):
Your first time.

Speaker 9 (01:19:57):
Coming in, you're like, you probably shouldn't do your face
a some of the you know, some of the like
the stomach is hard to tattoo, so I think a
lot of people might want to replace it or down,
you know, like lower on your stomach, you know, like
the lower stomach. Sometimes a hand placement for an artist
could be difficult to like, you know, stay steady and
stuff like that. Yeah, so I'd say that stomach's.

Speaker 4 (01:20:17):
Faces, stomachs and faces and.

Speaker 9 (01:20:19):
Face tattoo, Like you can't, I mean, you don't want
to have a tattoo anyways. But it's like one of
those very permanent, you know decisions.

Speaker 7 (01:20:27):
Can you remember the strangest tattoo you ever did?

Speaker 6 (01:20:31):
Strangest or just one of them? You know, like what.

Speaker 23 (01:20:33):
Super super stuff that we've seen that we we can't
talk about on it.

Speaker 9 (01:20:37):
Yeah, tattoo issue is or issue eight with a dotted
line around a crazy guy's neck in Biloxi, Mississippi, when
I was twenty years old. That guy, Yeah, his name
was t Black. I remember this guy, and he was
from the Bayous that stood out he would come in.

Speaker 3 (01:20:56):
He was just crazy as hell. But yeah, he just goes.

Speaker 4 (01:21:00):
Kind of like that.

Speaker 9 (01:21:02):
But I don't know, I've done a lot of wild tattoos.
For me to recall the craziest one would be difficult,
you know, I believe it.

Speaker 4 (01:22:32):
Health officials have issued a red alert at Chicago O'Hare
International Airport after a passenger with measles exposed hundreds of
travelers to the virus. Now most of us are vaccinated,
I hope, but we are. It is exposing the people
who have not gotten vaccinated. The infected adult developed a

(01:22:54):
rash on April twenty fifth, so check your travel schedule
for April twenty fifth in and out of Chicago O'Hare.
You may want to keep an eye open for symptoms
of measles. There was a confirmed diagnosis and this person
is currently isolating at home. Jury selection begins Monday in
the sex trafficking trial of Sean Diddy coombe. So it

(01:23:16):
is happening people. Yesterday he was in court and he
formally rejected a government plea deal. They said, hey, if
you plead guilty, we'll spare you an extended prison sentence.
This guy's up for like decades in prison, right, So
he said, no, no, thank you, I'll go to trial.
So that's what's happening. He has headed to trial again.
Jury selection starts Monday, and opening statements are expected to

(01:23:39):
begin May the twelfth. A driverless semi truck is now
making long haul runs on a Texas highway. No, we
were talking about this, was it earlier this week? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:23:50):
Because they on thirty three.

Speaker 4 (01:23:52):
They run on thirty three a person in right, These

Speaker 6 (01:23:56):
We're going full on.

Speaker 4 (01:23:57):
Absolutely full on self driving eighteen wheelers and they are
making round trips between Dallas and Houston all the time.
Wow is first two customers, Uber Freight and Hirshboch Motor Lines.
The two companies have conducted test runs with this company
called Aurora, using safety drivers to monitor technology. But now

(01:24:20):
that everything's been tested that drivers are not in there anymore,
and the commercial service is running driverless between Houston and Dallas.

Speaker 3 (01:24:29):
I know everything new we're a little leary freaks people out.
But this is an eighteen wheeler with no one behind
the way.

Speaker 6 (01:24:41):
I know, I can't wrap my head around what that is?

Speaker 3 (01:24:45):
Just one glitch, one electrical storm later.

Speaker 4 (01:24:50):
I mean it's coming, like the disaster is coming. It
just hasn't happened yet. Like there will be an accident.

Speaker 7 (01:24:56):
Well, I mean, look, truck drivers have gotten in accidents too.
Sure it happens a jack knife or whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:25:02):
Course when there's no driver, it's like this was avoidable.
You should have a driver behind the wheel.

Speaker 3 (01:25:08):
That's so crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:25:10):
I don't like it.

Speaker 3 (01:25:11):

They have two customers and they have they say, self
driving eighteen wheelers, but they didn't say.

Speaker 3 (01:25:30):
How many any right, I think it's crazy. We're at
the level where there's at least no one's sitting in
the cabin in a God forbid grabbed the steering wheel
moment right like just straight up empty. All right, all.

Speaker 4 (01:25:42):
Right, well we'll see how this goes. Those are your
three things. Good luck better Texas than us.

Speaker 3 (01:25:49):
Yeah, one hundred percent, Thank you so much. Nine ninety
seven the Blitz. Oh, I'm pretty excited because let me
tell you, I've shared the fact before that I'm a
bit of I love trying new places. One thing I've
loved about my time here in Colorado Springs is I
have already found some of my favorite tacos I've ever
eaten in my life. I've already found an amazing like

(01:26:12):
a Fijiita Mexican bowl, which is one of the best
I've ever had in my life. The food scene so
far has been pretty good here, really good, and I've
been very happy about it. And we might just level
up again tonight because plans have been finalized. Myself and
my fiance Nora Thick and your wife, Heather, we're double
dating tonight and we are going to it apparently is

(01:26:36):
the best steakhouse in the entire country.

Speaker 7 (01:26:39):
That is according to the Family Destinations Travel Guide, which
is a national publication.

Speaker 3 (01:26:46):
He'd been all over and so there's this little hole
in the wall gym you got to try out, and
it is the best steakhouse in the country. And we
are talking about Columbus's own York Steakhouse.

Speaker 6 (01:26:55):
I'm like, okay, now I'm been there since.

Speaker 7 (01:26:59):
It's been quite a few year since I've been here,
at least twenty twenty years, so I don't know. I
do know that a new owner took over the place
because it was going to shut down. There were one hundred,
like one hundred eightyum around the country at one time.

Speaker 3 (01:27:11):
Oh there were yeah, Oh I didn't know that.

Speaker 7 (01:27:13):
And this was the original and that was about to
shut down and the new owner came in and bought
the place. That we can't we can't shut down York Steakhouse.
And obviously not, it's the steakhouse in.

Speaker 3 (01:27:23):
The country because just from reading it is a It
is a cafeteria style, much like if you've ever been
to like a ponderosa. Yes, so you get your your
fix ins, but then they bring you the steak.

Speaker 7 (01:27:34):
Yeah, they cook the steak fresh, bring it out to
you on the hot plate. You get your side dishes
on your tray as you're going down the cafeteria style,
your dessert you pick out your dessert all that.

Speaker 3 (01:27:44):
Then they pull slices a cheesecake or whatever.

Speaker 6 (01:27:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:27:48):
Well yeah you if someone claims it's the best steakhouse
in the country, not that I say there's anything wrong
with it. I just find it hard to believe it's
the best steakhouse in the country.

Speaker 7 (01:27:59):
Man, we can report back to you if it is
on Monday. I suppose I have Dave.

Speaker 3 (01:28:04):
Did I say Colorado Springs? Dave just texted and say
Colorado Springs, question Mark, you're in Columbus?

Speaker 6 (01:28:09):
Did you accidentally? I know you used to live there.

Speaker 3 (01:28:11):
Oh. Absolutely, It's been twelve eleven years that were living there,
So I apologize if I said that Columbus. I just
find it hard to believe. I've had wig olive beef
before some of the rares meeting that. Yeah, there is.
I'm wondering if you York Steakhouse can beat.

Speaker 7 (01:28:27):
That, Chad said, just went to York Steakhouse last week.
I'm a regular there, very good old school feel. Okay,
what is it the best steak in the country, Chad.

Speaker 3 (01:28:37):
Well, we will report back on Monday and let you
know for sure.

Speaker 7 (01:28:41):
I did want a shout out to Virginia who is
celebrating her tenth anniversary with her husband on Star Wars Day.

Speaker 3 (01:28:47):
Oh, may the fourth be with you, Virginia and your husband. Congratulations,
it's nine ninety seven the Blitz. Now, let's see if
we can learn you something. Sit up and pay attention. Yeah,
let's make you a little bit than you were. One
who woke up today. Did you know this Congress passed
a law in eighteen sixty six that no living person

(01:29:07):
could appear on currency. They did it after an official
at the US Treasury snuck himself onto the five cent bill.
Five cent bill? Isn't that a weird thing to hear?
Five cent bill?

Speaker 6 (01:29:18):
Well, you think about way back then, that's a pretty
big bill.

Speaker 3 (01:29:21):
Yeah, that is true. Absolutely, But how great is that?
Bet no one will notice this? Put his face up
on there. King Olaf the fifth of Norway competed in
the Olympics, but not just because he could. He was
actually really good at sailing. He actually won the gold
medal at the nineteen twenty eight Olympics in Amsterdam. Do

(01:29:41):
you have like a backup king in preparation for your
king drowning?

Speaker 7 (01:29:45):
Oh? Wow, well I guess yeah, your vice king, right,
I don't know he's there a vice king. He is
sure it's not called the vice Prince. There you go,
the prince. Yeah, the vice I didn't know. I was
short on a term. That's what I came up with.

Speaker 6 (01:30:00):
Wouldn't that be the prince? Though? The prince is the
vice king.

Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
No, No, that's what you call your drug dealer. It's
the vice king. In one hundred and fifty races, there
have been three Phillies or female horses to win the
Kentucky Derby. That's right, it's one hundred and fiftieth Kentucky Derby,
one hundred and fifty first, one hundred and fifty first, right,
regret in nineteen fifteen, genuine risk in nineteen eighty and

(01:30:22):
winning colors in nineteen eighty eight. In fact, the last
time a Philly actually even raced was in twenty ten. Yeah.
They don't get many, man don't. And there's not going
to be one tomorrow either, So there you go. Let's
see here. The exclamation point didn't become a standard key
on the keyboard until nineteen seventy. Before that, you actually

(01:30:43):
had to type a period and then use the backspace
to go back and stick in an apostrophe above it.

Speaker 6 (01:30:50):
That's funny.

Speaker 3 (01:30:51):
Yeah, you had to make up your own exclamation point.
And finally, we all know the song Afroman because I
got high, I mean doesn't. It's a it's a great
novelty song. It's a one hit wonder. We all enjoyed
it for a period of time. It's still used anytime
you're talking about the devil's lettuce or ingesting some sort

(01:31:12):
of marajuanna. Well. Afroman was nominated for a Grammy for
Best Rap Solo Performance in two thousand and two for
this song. This is a Grammy nominated song, really yeah,
although although unfortunately it did not win, it did lose
out to Get Your Freak On by Missy Elliott Gets

(01:31:33):
your freakne Get your Freak hone, Get You Get You
get your Freak Cone, which I can see why Missy
Elliott a bit more of an artist than Afroman.

Speaker 6 (01:31:42):
Yeah, just I get it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:43):
There you go learning to some stuff on a Friday morning,
ninety ninety seven, The Blitz
