Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy hump Day. All right, welcome in Mark Blazer with
Chuck Douglas. The bearded one is with us today too,
and uh man, Chuck, I'm really seriously happy to see you.
You you did say to me, you go, did you
missed me yesterday? Yes? I did?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Still bearded, which is good.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Yeah, yeah, you mean Zach.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
I was talking about Zach as far as the bearded one,
and it's good, It is good.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yes, what do you mean? I'm just always scared I'm
going to come in here he will have shaved and
I'll actually see that face. It's the prospect that that
scares me. I don't think he's ever Wait a minute,
there was one he posted one on Facebook ones Zach did.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
You at one point? I've never have I seen it
without beard?

Speaker 3 (00:42):
I don't want to see it.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
But it's been a really long time since I haven't
had a beard, okay, at least ten years.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
And as far as when you because you trim it some,
because it's certainly bushy, but you you have to trim
it some, don't you.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
The thing is if I try to do it at home,
I mess up and I'll go like all the way
it's all have to shave it.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
So I'll go somewhere and just have them.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh wow, you remember when Geico was using the caveman.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, that's every time I look at Zach, I'm like,
if Gico ever does that again, he seriously needs to
dance in the casting call.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
You could you?

Speaker 3 (01:14):
I appreciate them.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
You could do that, man, I think you could.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
I'm flattered and love you.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Mean it you you were shooting. I didn't even think
about that, but that's spot on with he's got the look.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
But I can write a specscript for a commercial, a
new one.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
You're gonna write one? Yeah, yeah, I don't know. They
need help with that. But you could be the guy
that might be able to deliver for them.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
And we could have John from the sales department dubbing
your vocals, your voice for you, and that way you'd
sound like the guy go get go and look like
the guy go caveman. You'd have the whole Paul of
X right there.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
That's a lot to process what you just said.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Modern technology, AI, it's good doing everything.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
It seems like it is. Man, Geez, when you go
and have that trimmed professionally, look at you man, you're
so boogy?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
What long care service?

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Do you use it? A weed whacker?

Speaker 2 (02:06):
What are we talking?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
They start with ten snips and then.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
So is it literally like when you go get a haircut,
there's a comb and then they have scissors and they're
going through like like going through trimming it down? Or
is it an attachment to the.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Just the attachment?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Well, why can't you do that? You can just get
what what they're using, get the attachment and and you
can just run it through.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Well, there's a really good reason why I haven't done that?
What I didn't think about it?

Speaker 2 (02:35):
That'll do it every time, and why I know what
to get you now for Christmas?

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Your birthday is not till after or is it? When is?
I can't remember, I haven't my phone.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
It's the same as stuns.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Okay, that's easy, and I just now remember DA gone
And I feel like an idiot because you told I
knew that from before. That makes it really.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Easy anybody who does that here. You know, companies usually
have somebody who's like the birthday patrol, and they everybody
knows who's work win and so we put it on
the TV back there every now and then, not not
for the other side of the building. It's not us
air people. We don't We're just you know what's that
on the bottom of your shoe. Oh that's an on
air guy.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Okay, right, No, keep going, don't worry about don't worry
about cleaning it off. I know what to get though.
Now is it he used like a wall or like
one of those type because that that's easy to get you.
And then although you might like the camaraderie, do you
have a relationship with your beard trimming person?

Speaker 3 (03:29):
No, not at all. I just go whatever place is open, okay,
close to me?

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Really yeah, we could we could, uh, between the two
of us, Chuck, we could get him a nice trimmer.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, big lots open some swords back up, so yeah, yeah,
we'll be good.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
We'll get you one of those wall trimmers and you'll
be good to go.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Man, all right, Well, if I come in, if I
accidentally mess up, I.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Won't does he have a beard? Well? On one side, even.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
My KEYFA won't recognize me and won't let me.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
That's funny. Charlie would be like, where's my dad?

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Won't be messed up? If he shaved in his Apple
iPhone face. ID went can't do it.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Did you do you? You don't have that? Do you the apple?
The face?

Speaker 3 (04:10):
I d yeah, yeah it works?

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Oh yeah, you use that?

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Oh man, I don't mess with that.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I use it?

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Do you.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
Not me?

Speaker 2 (04:18):
It opens probably ninety percent of the apps on my
phone open with my face.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Oh man, yeah I have. I have a bunch of
thoughts about that. But let's not get a congratulations to
the Florida Panthers. Boy, that was some really good hockey
last night. But they took Game six and they win
it five to one last night, and they take home
the Stanley Cup for a second straight year. By the way,
Seth Jones and Barbrovsky.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
I'm sorry that name again sounds roughly familiar.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Bob as we used to refer and Jonesy was the
nickname for Seth. But anyway, look, former Jackets, I'm happy
for them, you know, as far as this second team. Look,
if make no mistake, if it was another USA team,
I would have been cheering for them because I didn't
want Florida to win it again. But I could not
root for a Canadian team.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
I couldn't do it, man, I couldn't do it.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
I understand.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, so and by the way, the one goal that
they scored was a fluke anyway, and I think by
then it was so late in the game, you know,
Bob's it was half because they're going, you know, I mean,
think about that. I'd be hard to focus these last
couple of minutes knowing there's no way that the Edmonton
Oilers could have caught up. So congratulations to them.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
People always talk about when you win something, when you're victorious,
but you're right, that last two minutes leading up to
that point, where you know, we got this, man, we
got that, We got that. That's gotta be just an
exhilarating couple of minutes.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, and you're going, please, nobody do anything stupid because
I don't want the clock stop. Just let it run,
you guys, stop it. Don't delay the inevitable. They were
cutting to Peconor McDavid's, like some of the Edmonton Oilers
cutting to them after and just you know, seeing the
dejection on their face. But you know, well, almost there's

(06:07):
next year. Think about that. Man, These guys they've played
all this time and then in just a couple of
months they got to start up again. They don't get
as much time off as everybody else. But I will say,
you could ask the rest of the league you're only
going to get a couple of months if you get
to the Stanley Cup Finals. Are you okay with that?
And they're like, yes, yes please.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
So are the rest? Are the teams going to play
this next season or are they just going to have
ups bring the cup to the Blue Jackets and just
don't worry.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
We look at you, I like your that's good. But
I don't know that we're in that position. But we'll see.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
We're always in that position until the season starts.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Red's on a roll man right now. They take Game
one versus the Twins last night. By the way, that's
three in a row for them, eight of their last ten.
They're thirty eight and thirty five, three above five hundred
right now. The Reds, you know, they had it going
last night, then lost it, then came back the Rally Reds,
the Rally Reds as they call them. So, uh yeah,

(07:01):
it's Game two as they're at Great American Ballpark again tonight.
We'll see if they can uh, if they can win
this one, then they are gonna win that series versus
the Twins. Got it every time I start going, I
ain't got a chance. That's it. They start doing this, I'm.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Just like a good way tohead in July. But until
we get to the All Star break and I have
the same enthusiasm, I will not be enthusiastic.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
It's just like it's hard. It's hard to really. I'm
still cheering for him though, but man, it's hard because
you just know, like you're like the other shoe's gonna
drop here. You just don't know if they can. You
just can't sustain it. But then you see what they
did in Detroit and the Tiger fans. You know, I
haven't had a chance to talk to our boss, but
I would imagine that he had to be beside himself,

(07:46):
that they lose to a team like the Reds at
home and then the best record in baseball right now,
and that he had to.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Be had to be done.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
He pissed off. Man. I will say too that you
know Clegg who was in with me yesterday is he
is also he's a Michigan guy, he's from there, and
he's a Tigers fan, and he was just like, he'sn't
disbelief the way that that all played out. I'm like,
let me guess some of the guys had zip ties
around their feet, like d like, as far as the

(08:19):
Tigers go, how do the Reds pull that off? So anyway,
you know, And also I want to bring this up
because well, first of all, I think this may be
the first time I know it is not maybe it
is the first time I've ever spoken the way I'm
going to speak about the WNBA, which is, they're pulling

(08:39):
me in. They're sucking me in right now. Man, Now,
I haven't watched any of it, but I see these
highlights also known as low lights, that keep happening to
this Caitlin Clark, and she is she is somewhat of
a phenom. I don't care how you slice it. This
girl has some special talent. There's no question about this.

(09:02):
Then I told you too, I am going to say
what I said. I was like, there's a couple of
her teammates are like pretty smoking, Like I look at them,
and you were like, yeah, but they like the other
girls you told me. I go, well, that's all right,
I'm okay with that. Not like I could act on
it anyway, or like they didn't even want anything. Think
about that they see a guy that's half their height

(09:24):
in me, Yeah, no, never happening. But anyway you get all.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
I hope there would be six foot tall women when
I was a kid, when I was a teenager, because
all the girls I went out with in high school
were like five to one, five two, right, there were
no big girls. And now they're all over the place.
But then again, you know, look at these high school boys.
Some of them are six five and we're in size
fifteen tennis shoes and that kind of.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Stuff, and they're fifteen or sixteen. Yeah, it's just like
what is going on there? What are you eating? What
kind of stuff are they sprinkling on your food? But
you bring up a good point. You're like, look the
way she's getting treated. If this, if she were block,
there would be she'd be the toast of the town,
the bell of the ball, or what have you. So
is so, then is this a jealousy thing that's happening

(10:10):
because she has that kind of talent and she's white.
I'm just trying to understand why there's so mean to her.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Resentment and jealousy I think is part of it, and
just just nastiness is the other part. This is Look
the WNBA first of all, I got sick of them
whining about but me chilling righty, that's because the NBA
players bring in so much money. When you start bringing
in trillions of dollars, you'll make it too. But you
are a league that exists to break down barriers. And

(10:39):
the first thing they do is create a barrier for
Caitlin Clark. Instead of letting her shine and acknowledging her
her accomplishments on the court, they I mean, they are
just violent toward her. She's taken some elbows and so forth.
That the NBA would never allow it bugs me. I'd
love to see them succeed, but until you actually I'm
looking at teams up there, and I don't see teams.

(11:00):
I see a bunch of individuals trying to to stop
one individual.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
By the way, she's averaging just over six feet farther
than the actual three point line. And I heard somebody
break this down. I was listening to Radio Sports, a
sports talk show, and they said, it's I think it's
just a little over six like six feet in a
couple of inches farther than their three point line. That's

(11:24):
her average three point shot. That's amazing, which, by the way,
is the ultimate revenge for her when somebody does something
sideways to her and there's plenty of tape out there
if you want to look it up. People are she
is getting abused. It's crazy. And then she comes back
and just she's over top of them and it's, you know,
she buries a three. And then it's like, how you

(11:46):
like that? You know?

Speaker 2 (11:47):
I think she had to get that good from that
distance because she was gonna get her head pulled off
her shoulders if he tried to get close to the net.
So she has to be that good from that far out.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
You might be right, so crazy that we're talking about
the WNBA, but I I it's it's like it's getting
me now. I'm like, I wanna watch now. Look, I'm
not gonna just turn it on and watch anybody. I
just think it's interesting what she's doing right now for me,
and then all of the hoopla around her. The hype
is real. Believe it, the hype is real with her.

(12:17):
She's a crazy town.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
I can't believe nobody in downtown Columbus is talking about
an w NBA team. I like here, like, yes, starts
they been, they dream about having professional football and all
that crap. Look, this is something that's doable. The league
is still in its infancy. This is an opportunity. Look
if they can do volleyball, right, yeah, that's true. I
mean not on a pro level. Where is that program?

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, hey, Denny, welcome to the show. Thanks for listening.

Speaker 5 (12:45):
Hey, thank you. It was I was up in Detroit
over the weekend with my wife and another couple, my
buddy Jerry, and great experience that ballpark in the area.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, I think yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
Yeah, it's pretty pretty solid. The other thing is the
w n B A ohs, Caitlin Clark everything, because you
know it's it's women's basketball. And if you want to
really learn about women's basketball, look up on YouTube that
Klay Travis challenged to the w NBA.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
So I saw that.

Speaker 5 (13:24):
Man, if you haven't seen that, get your listeners on it,
because there's a million bucks on the table and they
won't even return his call.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah, and that's nuts that they won't. They don't. They
don't want any part of that. And that's basically what
you're saying, correct.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah, oh, absolutely true. Plus, you know, pay per view,
just charge twenty bucks to watch his proposal. You know,
the game and you know, they'll they'll make more money
they ever made in their lives.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, that doesn't make sense that they don't want any
part of that really is a head scratcher.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah they don't.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Well, thanks, brother, appreciate you. Thanks. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Hey, Dave,
welcome to the show.

Speaker 6 (14:12):
Yeah. I think with Caitlin and the w NBA, I
think it's a two front thing. I think part of it, yeah,
it might be raised, but part of it is just
women could be nasty to each other.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
They cannot. I don't know where you heard that. That's
a lie. That's a total lie.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
They do out of each other wall somewhere.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
So I believe that. Yeah, but I mean, look at
the look at the guides. Like when Tiger came into golf,
you know, which is a black guy coming into what
used to be predominantly uh, you know, white man's sport.
They welcome him. They couldn't say everyone respected the guy.
They were cheering for him. They wanted to break Jack's record.

(14:54):
You know, maybe nobody Clumbus did, but.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
You know why, Dave, you know why. I mean, I
don't know if you're a golfer or whatever, but what
he did was he broke the purses wide open, and
you got a guy in Tiger Woods who elevated even
the guy who's finishing last, all the white guys behind
him finishing are all of their paychecks went up probably
forty to fifty maybe even ninety percent in some cases,

(15:17):
maybe even one hundred percent or more. But he is
the reason that those you know, it's twenty one and
a half million dollars for the US Open over the weekend.
That person, I mean, that's that right there is why
a lot of people were championing Tiger Woods.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
Yeah, well they recognize that, you know, it doesn't matter
whether you're black or white, just if you're bringing in
the green yep and you know that's what she's doing.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Appreciated guys, no doubt.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Man, that's great or gals exactly. Dave, thanks that is
that's that's spot on, Dave. You had some really good
points there, and then with the Tiger thing, Yeah, it
didn't matter if you're purple. That guy's ability is off
the charts.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
You get a year's paycheck for tying at thirty third
in the US Open. Yeah, Tiger elevated the paychecks.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
There's no question over these Lothies. What twenty years, fifteen years?
He changed everything with the pay scale. That's why they're like,
go Tiger, let's go.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
That's say man, I can't believe this. Look what just
popped up on my screen over here, see where my
finger is and add with.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Who Tiger Tiger woulds This is crazy.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
It's listening all the time, all listening all the time.
