thing into it.

What hand? Away we go?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Oh, you gotta do it like Jackie did it.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
I forgot about that, which is why I guess I
didn't do it. Oh man, But I do remember it
once you cite it.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Famous fat Man should never be forgotten.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Oh. I love him. I love him seriously.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
In the Honeymooners. For some reason, I'm like the one
guy on the planet that did not I can't watch
the Honeymooners comes on the old people's TV show TV channel.
I gotta change it. Yeah, I just don't like that show.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
I don't either, and I quite frankly, I'm stuck on
smoking the bandit.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
You know that's really junior.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yes, there's no way you come from my loins. When
I get home, I'm gonna punch your mommy in the mouth,
which you.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Could never get away with writing into a script now,
because they'd be like, it's domestic violence.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Protest, get the signs out, let's go.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
It's called comedy. And he didn't really do.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
That toilet paper hang and fro you. Yeah, it was hilarious.
Mam hm mm hmmm.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Uh so here we go. Uh what what happened while
I was gone? Did the shutdown? Did they turn that off?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Show that was done? Shut? Shut up. I guess we'll.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Get to that in just a little bit because clearly
the main hurdle has finally been hurdled, and so, uh well,
we'll see the rest of that and see what happens.
I think we have Congressman Jim Jordans a little bit later.
We'll talk to him about that sweet and see what
he has to offer.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
And then you have Senator Houstad.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yep, you got the house covered, I got the Senate covered.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
So he'll be joining you at Okay, hey six six
shut that's sixth so uh so, very good tonight. I'm
sorry today. We wake up this morning and actually started yesterday.
As far as the snow coming down, what.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I'm just looking cocaine addicts around Ohio going yes.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, So last night it was like almost snow globbish
as far as the snow because we're sitting there on
the couch and Jenny goes, look how pretty the snow
is outside, and it was kind of dim. It was
starting to get dark, and there it goes and I
was like, yep, here and we're sitting there staring at
the fire, you know, and then the snow going.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
I'm like, is it too early for this? And I
was like, I don't know, is it ever really too
early for that? That's a great scene.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
I flipped my clock to Christmas music last night and
go one of those Sako clocks that at the top
of the hour plays a tune and you can change
what and I flipped to Christmas last night. It was
just appropriate.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Does it play I Got You babe, like, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Like groundholme. No, it doesn't do I gat at the
top of the air.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
I Got You?

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah anyway, No, So it's all right, it's playing Chris.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
You can tell it what type and then it just rotates.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
It's got like four selections on the back where you
can play Christmas music or classical or I forget what
the other options are. Yeah, but yeah, it was time
to flip to Christmas.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
So and it just random. It just it'll play a
random Christmas.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
It's sky twenty in a row that a little chime. Yeah,
so at the top of the hour you'll hear every
twenty hours, you'll hear joy to the world again.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (03:15):
So you're one of the people that obviously believe it
is time to go ahead and start Christmas?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Last night made me feel it was, Yeah, because at
least in the house. Yeah, just it just felt Christmas.
So you don't get in the car and no, I'm
not no, not yet, not yet. We did buy the
potpourri pine cones at the store this weekend. Okay, so
you get that that holiday snell, right, and I don't
know's it's uh. I'm feeling frankly more Christmasy this year

(03:44):
than I have in a few years.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
This interestingly enough, because of the temperature now it's a
little bit chillier now, but with the sun out and
all that, you could if you could scrape up enough,
you could hurry up and build a snowman real quick.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yes, you know, there's enough of a doubt. I think
I had about four inches on top of the vehicles
this morning.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Wait a minute, are you serious.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
I'm not joking. It had to be just drift, you know, blowing,
but yeah, it really stacked up on top of my
cars last night in Delaware.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
It was like, nah, maybe an inch, you know what?
I mean on the build up on mine. I were
not just hurt four inches.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
I what, Yeah, the ground didn't have that much on it, right,
the cars did. And then of course my meal man
had to screw up my yard. I like to look
at my yard and see the fresh leaf all in snow,
not the goloshes Miguel the Mayo man coming through my
I got big tracks through my yard now because I
am I know. I even yell at the cats in

(04:41):
the neighborhood because it's snowy. Man, it's pretty.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
So the good thing is it looks like we warm
right up by the weekend. But I think we're in
line for and I dare I say it, which always
happens in this area. It's like we get in this pattern.
I seriously, they're predicting like next Sunday is when it
gets cold again, and it'll get us cold going in now.
I don't know if they're predicting snow as of yet,

(05:06):
but I can tell you each day this week we
get warmer and warmer.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
By the weekend.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
We're in the sixties, and you know they're talking about
rain by the weekend, And of course you knew it
wasn't gonna stay cold enough, you know, from now until
whatever mark. You know, but I think we're probably and
we'll check in with Marshall and see what he has
to say about that. But you ever notice we do that,
we'll get in these patterns, these like weekly patterns where

(05:32):
that type of stuff hits.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yep, they do it.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
In the summer too.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
I mean it's yeah, but we were going to have
a beautiful, fairly warm weekend in the next three weeks
because there always is that Christmas decorating weekend. Yeah, we
always get that, and then you don't get it done,
and then it goes to twenty thousand below zero and
you're like, oh, man, I should have got the Santa
on the front yard.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Right, putting up the lights, you know whatever. I did not.
While I watched some of the game.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
On Saturday, the Buckeyes, yes, and I think the report
card was still really good.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
On them, thirty four to ten.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
They did not cover the thirty and a half, and
a lot of people were kind of staring at that too,
going do I want to I want to. I don't
want to put money on them covering that much. And
you would think, maybe, you know, when they do that
sometimes and it's weird how Vegas gets it that close.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
The odds makers, if you will, they get it so close.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah, it's not like it's Major League Baseball. They don't
have any control over this, right right exactly.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
So Yeah, night game at the Shoe now coming up
on Saturday, UCLA is in town, seven thirty kick It'll
be on NBC four, and we're thirty one and a
half point favorites on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Bring them California boys into a nice cold winter night
in Ohio. Yeah, company ball.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
By the way, they have not named the kickoff time
for Rutgers, which this will be our last home game
this coming up Saturday. Then we're on the road for
Rutgers and then we go to that team up north
to finish up the regular season. But you know, usually
by now they're naming the time of day for the
next one. But there was a spokesperson for the school

(07:15):
there talking about Rutgers said the potential times are noon,
three point thirty or four pm. When I started seeing
that list, I was like, they better not be like
four o'clock, seven o'clock, eight o'clock.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
It's like you just named every possibility, Like come on.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, I just I honestly, and I've said this before,
forget Look, you're the Ohio State buck guys. You name
the times you're going to play, and quit making those
of us that have lives to lead wait until fifteen
minutes before showtime to know whether or not we can
do this or schedule this with the family, or just

(07:51):
pick your times and get it done. Don't make us
wait till the end to find out.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
You know when they typically if something the only way
they change that or do what you're saying is if
viewership falls off. So guess what, it ain't falling off. No,
so they're they're never gonna go, oh, you got us
by the you know what? The big ten television partners

(08:15):
holding off Typically they have to announce kickoff twelve days
in advance.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Listen to this.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
I didn't know they had this, but they have six
day selections available and chose to exercise one of those
for Ohio State Rutgers. What they have six day selections available,
which means they can wait six days, and they chose.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
To use one. I don't know how many. What does
it say typically if to announced, I.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Don't even know how many of those those being the
six day selections how many they have a year per year,
but they chose to exercise one of those.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Anyway, it is Rutgers, so.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
They're not going to be it's not going to be
a primetime game. It won't be think about this every time.
All ten times we played them, we smoked them. So anyway,
that's it.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
For what is their record this year? Do you know
a man at the top of my I mean, it's
not even like a real interesting game. The only reason
you're gonna watch it is because you're a Buckeye man.
You want to watch them o blither eat somebody's.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Well and it's Buckeye football.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
So you're like, well, we're gonna put on Buckeye football
and watch.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
It on it let's see. Yeah it is. They're five
and five Rutgers. Yeah, Scarlet Knights, that is who they are.
Scarlet Knight.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah, just awful. Steelers got smoked in La last night. Ridiculous,
stupid Rogers.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
I'm telling you.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
See every play that he overthrows a wide open guy
and then they cut to him and.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
He's jawn running his mouth.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
It's like it's that smelling celt it's making him crazy.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Well, I haven't seen him doing those like this game.
It's like, maybe you shoul you have done a little
more of those.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Maybe he's using them as depositories.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Now that burn a little, wouldn't it?

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Just to tell a bit? I got ants in my
pants and I need to dance.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
I'm burning for you.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
I keep thinking of Bluish or cult in that situation.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
I'm burning for you. Jets.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, I mean, the Browns lose to the Jets, does
it get any worse for the Browns fans? No, I
don't know how it gets any worse than that. No,
Holy cow. I mean, and then Buffalo losing by the
way to Miami. Nobody saw what happened there. I didn't
even get I just saw on the low lights if
you're a Bills fan, highlights if you're a Miami fan.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
But I was like, what is happening? And then you
guys are on a bye the Bengals are on a
by pan.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Goodness. Yeah, we couldn't lose this week.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
It'll be a good one tonight for Monday Night Football.
By the way, Eagles are at the Packers, so this
should be a good one.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah. I'm going with the Packers. I'm going with the
whole team.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Give them the whole team.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
They are a freight train right now. Hmm, yeah, don't
I know that.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Unfortunately as a Stealer fan.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Jackets are at Edmund and man, it's a rough road
trip for the Jackets right now.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
They're there, they're three in a row.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
They've lost, so tonight we'll see if they can right
the ship. But it's eight thirty puck drop tonight for
the Jackets in Canada. Then they're at Seattle tomorrow for
the Kraken.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
I know on your headlines you did not have the
the culmination of the Hell is Real competition.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Oh yeah, I was trying to forget that because I
felt bad for the crew fans that, yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
They I felt sad, believe it or not, what his
final game and I'm like, oh my gosh, it just
I don't know, man, there was there was this little
twinge of pain in my heart. I'm like, this guy
ain't ready to be done yet, you know. It just
it's like watching Rocky leave the ring in Rocky two,
when never coming back. He's got another sequel in him,

(11:56):
and it just, I don't know, it was kind of sad.
I'm not a big soccer fan, but when you see
somebody who has climbed that mountain and they like being
on top of the mountain. They still got what it
takes to stay up there. It is kind of sad
to watch them walk away from it.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
I'm definitely, you know, I'm not really a soccer fan either,
but I root for him clearly.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, I mean there are hometown so.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
If I if I am gonna do that, I uh,
I don't know. It's just one of those things for me,
Like certainly anybody Columbus related.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
I'm gonna I'm gonna root for him, you.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Know, because people say you're a Steeler fan, I'm like yeah,
and then they go, why aren't you a Penguins fan.
I'm like, because I like the blue jacket and they're like,
well why don't you? And I go, oh, Columbus doesn't
have a protein, or I'd be rooting for them as
far as NFL goes. And I said, our for our
pro team is the Buckeyes as far as football really is.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
They are one hundred and ten thousand people crammed into
every game, merchandising out the wazoo. Yeah, they are essentially
a protein.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
So were you surprised to see the headlines start popping
last night that sixty forty was the vote, and I
want it.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I was very me too.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
That came out of nowhere.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
But people were predicting after the election on Tuesday, Yeah,
which it would it took five days, but uh, there
were I mean, you saw, well, who is it that
voted up? Dick Durbin, Angus King of Maine, Catherine Cortes
Mastow of Nevada, Jackie Rosen of Nevada, Fetterman of Pennsylvania,

(13:25):
Tim Kine of Virginia.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Tim Kane surprised me, me too.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
He said he was focused on, you know, young and
getting kicked out and who got elected there.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
I don't even know the girl whatever, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
I don't pay attention.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
He said.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
He was focusing on that, and he hadn't really paid attention.
But now he's seeing it. And this is the other
thing too. People are going, so what has really changed
for the Democrats?

Speaker 2 (13:48):
They well, their reputation.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Hopefully the Republicans didn't give in on anything.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
I hope that the reputation because I mean, seriously, everybody
who needed needed needed death. That food stamp card to
work in the first of the month and it didn't work.
I want you to remember billionaire Bernie Sanders going, we
should have held out longa people know they we gave
up too quickly. And and this Congress, once again, we've

(14:14):
showed the Democrats to be weak. He was willing to
make his political point while your kids were hungry. That's
what they're about. And I hope you watched it. I
hope you watch it over and over again. I hope
you learned it. And Republicans, whatever promises you made, whatever
deals you made, you damn sure better keep them because
we need to be above the fray on something. If
you said we're going to talk obamacare, afterward you sit

(14:37):
down and start talking Obamacare, keep your word.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Well, keep your word. But they're still not going to
give in on it. I don't care what the end
result is, but you promised to have Oh so those
will start chuck. And then you're going to hear the
Democrats going, yeah, see, they said they were gonna go
ahead and do this, and now they're not.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
That's what they'll change it to.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Not that they're sitting down, they're going to go they
see they're d going back on the word they said
they were.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Going to do this.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
The beauty of it is is after this fiasco, people
are going to not accept that as a gospel truth.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
I hope not. I hope not.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
And by the way, Bernie Sanders, did he do the
voice for Ardvark ha ha ha, Because I think he did.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
That's probably how I paid for at least one of
those four houses.
