Speaker 1 (00:01):
You know, last week we were talking about and you
brought it up. It was last week the new daily
double burger for McDonald's, oh Ji, and you said, this
is not listed on it's kind of a what do
you call it.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
A secret item, secret menu or hidden menu item.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah, Well, this headline of McDonald's adds a new daily
double quietly.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well, I've let the word out now. Billions of people
listen to this show every day, and they knew that
the Daily Double was available, So now it might as
well be on the menu.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Well, previously tested location in Chicago, Seattle, Miami, and is
now available at locations nationwide. Sounds like it was already available,
it just wasn't listed on the regular menu. We had
to note the daily double burger as to Patty's Topple Cheese,
shredded legs, tomato onion mayo. One of the few burgers,
by the way, to McDonald's offers with mayo, as most
(00:55):
come with just muster and ketchup and less and tomyo
have only been offered on the Deluxe quarter pounder. Blah
blah blah. They're saying this may be in direct competition
with Dave's Double at Wendy's. Is it that big.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
It's it's a substantial burger, but I think Dave's double
is the meat is probably a higher content.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah, like a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
You got thinner patties at McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
They said it's going to be available through the end
of this year. It'll be added to the Meek Value
Meal Deal bundle, but it's going to be a few
weeks before it gets to that July twenty second. The
deal gets you a burger, chicken, nuggets, fries, and a
drink for six or seven dollars, depending on your location.
So the fact that you were talking about this thing
(01:39):
and then now they said, well that guy in Columbus
say he out at us, we might as well just
put it out.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I should talk about stuff and make it come to
life all the time. Man, this happens constantly to me.
Hang on a second, let me talk about my big
lottery wind.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Exactly. Hey, So last night, I think it was around
eleven forty two pm. I think I read that our
governor here in the state of Ohio decided to sign
the budget he had until midnight and taking us all
the way up to the very end. Because well, that's
what he is. He's a guy that likes to have
people watching what I do.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Nine stamp late, have franch pie and some coffee and
wait till midnight to shine stuff. You't a while which
way we do things?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Well, if you go back to wine with the wine,
he was a guy that got just addicted to that spotlight.
I don't care how you stack it. He did. Yeah,
he got addicted to that because that he got to
the point it turned into a variety show where he
would talk about his tie that he was wearing, if
you'll remember, and then Fran was you know the first
lady she's doing you know, different stuff like talking about
(02:49):
different things that they've got.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Got this time from a college shooting down at Wesleyan.
Shent me this beautiful time and see you on the
back shine. It's got a tag as my name on it.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Dwine bind Well.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
He ended up vetoing sixty seven state budget items. Yeah,
as part of the budget. So one of the things
I don't know, I'm a little bit I'd like to
say I'm a little bit shocked over the six hundred
billion for the Brown Stadium, you know, using the unclaimed
funds if you will, And I don't know that I'm
(03:26):
like one percent shocked about this, But at the same time,
seeing leading up to this, leading up to eleven forty
two last night or whatever, the amount of what felt
like support from the conservatives here in the state of
Ohio felt to me like and there was always this
they're on solid legal ground and so on, and so
(03:48):
it was all it was for me. I go, man,
I guess they really are able to pull this, because
I feel like if they weren't able to do this,
or there was something legal, they've had enough time to
make sure that if there was t that was not
crossed or and I that wasn't dotted, that they were
going to have to make that happen in order for
this to not get overridden.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Mike Dwine is a magician because he has managed somehow,
some way to put me on the same side as
Mark dan That is magical. Yeah, nobody could. This is
gonna get challenged. It's not the state's money. How much
clearer can it be. It's uncleimed funds that belonged to
(04:28):
ohioan's and or there are states that the state is holding.
If Mark goes down right now and puts a big
old submean sandwich in a company refrigerator, is it or
is it not his sandwich?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
It's enoge exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
The company refrigerator is just holding it for you, but
it is yours. If it molds, decays and turns to dust,
that's on you. But the company refrigerator is holding it
and it remains your sandwich.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So wait, Chuck. So if that sandwich sits there for
two and I see to myself, well this is probably
gonna go bad, I might as well go ahead and
need it. You might as well, But am I allowed
because because let's not yours?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
So you could go, hey, Mark, you're gonna eat this thing?
Because okay, with your permission, that's fine, But without your
permission that the company has no business going in the
refrigerator and taking you were sandwhich especially when they have
established that refrigerator as they did the Unclean funds. They
have established it and put in print for the people
of Ohio that these money shall remain there period, there
(05:33):
is no expiration on them.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Let's get State Senator Steve Huffman, who is on hold
and uh chipsity, Hey Steve, welcome, yeah, welcome to the show.
Your thoughts on what you just heard from chuck in
the six hundred billion for the Brown Stadium ear marked
for that.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Well, just a minute, going back to your other conversation,
I'm waiting for the mcgrib to come back and retire
permanently twenty times we need the necrypt.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
It will come back. You can bet your bottom dollar
because they like to make money like everyone else. So yeah,
that's coming back.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Sure, sure, So I would ask him, most of the
money that's in there that we're taking is over ten
years in the fund. Many of it is twenty years
and longer. So at what point do we do something
with that? And I think that is the premise. It's
not things that were just put in there, but most
(06:28):
of us are ten or twenty years sitting there, and
we will still make good on that money if we
have to in the future.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
You go write the legislation that amends the establishment of
the Unclaimed Funds to say that there is this duration
and after that duration it falls into the general fund.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Is that possible? Is that possible? Steve to do that?
What he just said, I.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Think that's what we just did in this budget. Well,
it's to say here, here's the expiression date.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
What is that date?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Right?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Now, the budget is the budgets will do what we
will right as soon as the budget becomes effective, the
money falls into the hands of the state of Ohio.
And although they say that these entities like the Browns,
the Bengals, whatever, would have to pay it back, that's
essentially you're gambling with money.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
That's not you know.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
The other question too, Steve, is I mean, what about
I heard, you know, I listened to Cincinnati radio. They're
all down there bitching about you know, the Bengals, and
what about them at pay Corps they should be And
then what about Great American Ballpark? And then what about progressive?
Is it called progressive anymore where the India or the
Guardians play? I mean, that's the thing. And then we
(07:35):
got Nationwide Arena. We just saw that, you know, the Jackets,
they need to have an overhaul there, a facelift there.
That's where I'm and I don't know, I'm sure that
conversation has taking place with you guys. What do you
think of all of that?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Well, in there are provisions to continue. I think there's
another four hundred or five hundred million, and there's a
process for all of those teams to come pay twenty
five percent. It would pay twenty five percent of a project,
and they would have to meet certain other things. But
there's an opportunity for everybody. But what also does is
(08:11):
that church and museums and other places would be able
to also use that fun just not sportwords stadium.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, not to the tune of six hundred billion either.
You know that's the other a million million. Sorry, don't
make it six hundred billion, My apologies, I'm sorry. Well,
that'd be one hell of a stadium, wasn't it. Holy.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I went through the list the other night when before
and I found ten. There were ten unclean funds on
there that are mine. Now, what I need to do
is find a way to prove where I lived in
nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
So that what you have to do.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah, I've got to go back and show that this
was me in nineteen that was my address in nineteen
ninety six.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Uh huh okay, I see.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Some of them are current address, but some of them
go back to nineteen ninety five, nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
So let's ask and State Senator Steve huffmans on with us. Thanks,
by the way, A for listening and B for calling
in because this is this is perfect to have a
conversation with you about what some of these sixty seven
line item vetos are, any of them that you are
on board with overriding or any of these that you're like,
oh no, we're gonna have to get something figured out here.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Well, well, first, I about the process. So we have
to the end of the General Assembly as as far
as I understand, so we have about eighteen months to
do this. Because the bill generated in the House, only
the House is able to they have to initiate it
in the override. Okay, in my understanding, there would have
(09:36):
to be sixty seven different Well we made it. We
won't do all sixty seven, but you know, one at
a time, and we would need sixty percent, so you know,
sixty in a House, twenty votes in the Senate, so
there's a little difficult there. But I think the property
(09:56):
tax with forty percent and for the for the schools
and things like that, I think that is probably going
to be the one of the first ones that that's
going to happen.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I mean, covid is over One of his line item
veto's was requiring state employees to work in the office
instead of work from home, and that was a lie.
The the lgbt Q m n O P stuff take
it out of the reach of the kindergarteners in the
library and put it in an area where the children
can't get to it. He vetoed that I don't get
some of that. This this is like these things are
(10:29):
not even in line philosophically what he claims to be
in line.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
That's a good point.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Yeah, no, I don't. I don't disagree with you. You know,
reading his override of the the work at home and things,
you kind of there's a disagreement or thought it was
it wasn't worth a the correct way and it could
have actually allow people to work at home. So maybe
(10:55):
we do something in the budget or outside the budget,
separate bill on that.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Would you rather work at home? Steve? Oh yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
I didn't know where you came down on that.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
That's it, Okay, interesting, But I don't think our state
employee should. I think you're much more productive. Uh. You know,
there are state employees that need to work at home
that they travel the state for OD and R or
other agencies, so you know, moving around those people. But
you know, if your general employee, you know tends to
(11:31):
be more productive.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
In the office in the midst of a crisis. I understand.
We all did what we had to do, even radio
and television people broadcasting from their houses.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
And I did it. Yeah, and that I guess.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
But it's all over with now. And honestly, if I'm
calling a government agency, it's because I have to, not
because I don't. Nobody wakes up at the one I
think I'd like to call the government.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I call a.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Government agency and I've got the baby crying in the
background and the chihuahuah barking, and whoever walked by the house.
Just now that that's not what I'm looking for. What
I'm calling a government agent. See, I want real efficient help,
not somebody sitting at home with their stuff going on.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Yeah, they need to get to get to work, can
be as productive as I can.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, Hey, your thoughts on the real quick on the
library thing too? Where do you come down on that? Personally?
Are you okay with what was what the governor signed
off on?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Well, I'm not okay with the beato. I'm okay that
the movie knows into the back room where young people
who are very impressionable do not have access to that,
but I disagree with what the governor did and agree
with what we put in there.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Okay, y.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
He also killed a part of it would have limited
state buildings to only have US flags, Ohio flags, Ohio
agency flags or pow mi i A flags. Struck that down.
You know how many how many rainbows are going to
be flying at state buildings with that struck down again,
it flies in the phase of what he philosophic has
claimed to stand for.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
All these the word straddle comes to mind.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You know, not making sense.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yeah, there's a number of provisions in there too, uh
remove tax exemptions like on newspapers and uh historical tax
credits because in my opinion, tax credits and tax deductions
are you're raising taxes on everybody else and you're picking
(13:26):
winners and losers. And we had about four or five
of them in there that he vetoed and you know
that they will continue to be exempt and you know,
maybe a hole in the budget here when when things
come up.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And also the cigarette tax is a state tax, but
we've got a couple of counties now that are going
to be allowed to pile on put their own taxes
on the paper. County project. You can't take what is
a state tax and then allow a county to add
its own version of a state either taxi at the
state level or.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Don't I agree. We've done that for Cuyahoga County for
years and they pay for their arts. They you know,
they also have another tax for the you know, the
the bounds, the calves and Indians. But that's what they do.
(14:14):
And now we're gonna expand it to Hamilton County so
that they can pay for some other things. But it
has to be approved by the voters. Though.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Good thing he's on the phone because if we were
all in person together, we'd end up drinking.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
And you know that that's wrong with that. It's wrong
with that. Not a damn thing wrong with that, all right,
State Senator Steve Huffan, thanks for calling in, man. This
is a nice surprise. We were getting ready to talk
about this, obviously you heard us saying that, and I'm
so happy that you called in to give us your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
This is awesome anytime you guys, take care, have a
good day.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Thanks brother, you too. Happy Fourth of July.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
He he is, I mean, he listens to the station
all the time. Yeah, streets. You're always willing to call up,
and no matter what you hit him with, he'll just
answer right to your face and eyes. I love that,
and I wish we could clone that mentality with everybody
who serves.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
We would have a lot less trouble in politics in
government if we had a lot of people like that. Yes,
I mean, we just would. They would just tell you
there's no like, well, let me put some pit, some
lipstick on this pig, you know, and and try to
act like something that's cool.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Even if I hate what you say, I know that
it's what you mean, and that's that's more important than
anything else.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Absolutely it is.
You know, last week we were talking about and you
brought it up. It was last week the new daily

Speaker 1 (08:53):
So let's ask and State Senator Steve huffmans on with us. Thanks,
by the way, A for listening and B for calling
in because this is this is perfect to have a
conversation with you about what some of these sixty seven
line item vetos are, any of them that you are
on board with overriding or any of these that you're like,
oh no, we're gonna have to get something figured out here.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Well, well, first, I about the process. So we have
to the end of the General Assembly as as far
as I understand, so we have about eighteen months to
do this. Because the bill generated in the House, only
the House is able to they have to initiate it
in the override. Okay, in my understanding, there would have
(09:36):
to be sixty seven different Well we made it. We
won't do all sixty seven, but you know, one at
a time, and we would need sixty percent, so you know,
sixty in a House, twenty votes in the Senate, so
there's a little difficult there. But I think the property
(09:56):
tax with forty percent and for the for the schools
and things like that, I think that is probably going
to be the one of the first ones that that's
going to happen.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I mean, covid is over One of his line item
veto's was requiring state employees to work in the office
instead of work from home, and that was a lie.
The the lgbt Q m n O P stuff take
it out of the reach of the kindergarteners in the
library and put it in an area where the children
can't get to it. He vetoed that I don't get
some of that. This this is like these things are
(10:29):
not even in line philosophically what he claims to be
in line.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
That's a good point.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Yeah, no, I don't. I don't disagree with you. You know,
reading his override of the the work at home and things,
you kind of there's a disagreement or thought it was
it wasn't worth a the correct way and it could
have actually allow people to work at home. So maybe
(10:55):
we do something in the budget or outside the budget,
separate bill on that.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Would you rather work at home? Steve? Oh yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
I didn't know where you came down on that.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
That's it, Okay, interesting, But I don't think our state
employee should. I think you're much more productive. Uh. You know,
there are state employees that need to work at home
that they travel the state for OD and R or
other agencies, so you know, moving around those people. But
you know, if your general employee, you know tends to
(11:31):
be more productive.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
In the office in the midst of a crisis. I understand.
We all did what we had to do, even radio
and television people broadcasting from their houses.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
And I did it. Yeah, and that I guess.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
But it's all over with now. And honestly, if I'm
calling a government agency, it's because I have to, not
because I don't. Nobody wakes up at the one I
think I'd like to call the government.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I call a.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Government agency and I've got the baby crying in the
background and the chihuahuah barking, and whoever walked by the house.
Just now that that's not what I'm looking for. What
I'm calling a government agent. See, I want real efficient help,
not somebody sitting at home with their stuff going on.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Yeah, they need to get to get to work, can
be as productive as I can.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, Hey, your thoughts on the real quick on the
library thing too? Where do you come down on that? Personally?
Are you okay with what was what the governor signed
off on?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Well, I'm not okay with the beato. I'm okay that
the movie knows into the back room where young people
who are very impressionable do not have access to that,
but I disagree with what the governor did and agree
with what we put in there.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Okay, y.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
He also killed a part of it would have limited
state buildings to only have US flags, Ohio flags, Ohio
agency flags or pow mi i A flags. Struck that down.
You know how many how many rainbows are going to
be flying at state buildings with that struck down again,
it flies in the phase of what he philosophic has
claimed to stand for.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
All these the word straddle comes to mind.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You know, not making sense.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yeah, there's a number of provisions in there too, uh
remove tax exemptions like on newspapers and uh historical tax
credits because in my opinion, tax credits and tax deductions
are you're raising taxes on everybody else and you're picking
(13:26):
winners and losers. And we had about four or five
of them in there that he vetoed and you know
that they will continue to be exempt and you know,
maybe a hole in the budget here when when things
come up.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And also the cigarette tax is a state tax, but
we've got a couple of counties now that are going
to be allowed to pile on put their own taxes
on the paper. County project. You can't take what is
a state tax and then allow a county to add
its own version of a state either taxi at the
state level or.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Don't I agree. We've done that for Cuyahoga County for
years and they pay for their arts. They you know,
they also have another tax for the you know, the
the bounds, the calves and Indians. But that's what they do.
(14:14):
And now we're gonna expand it to Hamilton County so
that they can pay for some other things. But it
has to be approved by the voters. Though.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Good thing he's on the phone because if we were
all in person together, we'd end up drinking.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
And you know that that's wrong with that. It's wrong
with that. Not a damn thing wrong with that, all right,
State Senator Steve Huffan, thanks for calling in, man. This
is a nice surprise. We were getting ready to talk
about this, obviously you heard us saying that, and I'm
so happy that you called in to give us your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
This is awesome anytime you guys, take care, have a
good day.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Thanks brother, you too. Happy Fourth of July.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
He he is, I mean, he listens to the station
all the time. Yeah, streets. You're always willing to call up,
and no matter what you hit him with, he'll just
answer right to your face and eyes. I love that,
and I wish we could clone that mentality with everybody
who serves.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
We would have a lot less trouble in politics in
government if we had a lot of people like that. Yes,
I mean, we just would. They would just tell you
there's no like, well, let me put some pit, some
lipstick on this pig, you know, and and try to
act like something that's cool.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Even if I hate what you say, I know that
it's what you mean, and that's that's more important than
anything else.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Absolutely it is.
