Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome Man, Happy Monday.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm telling you, you gotta put the Gleason thing into that.
If you're gonna do it, you gotta put the Gleason
thing into it.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
What hand away we go? Oh, you gotta do it
like Jackie did it. I forgot about that, which is
why I guess I didn't do it. Oh Man Happy.
But I do remember it once you cite it. Famous
fat Man should never be forgotten. Oh, I love it.
I love him seriously.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
In The Honeymooners, I'm for some reason, I'm like the
one guy on the planet that did not I can't watch.
So the Honeymooners comes on the old people's TV show
TV channel, I gotta change it.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, I just don't like that show. I don't either,
and I quite frankly, I'm stuck. I'm smoking the bandit.
You know that's really junior.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yes, there's no way you come from my loins.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
When I get home, I'm gonna punch your mommy in
the mouth, which you could never get away with writing
into a script now, because they'd be like, it's domestic violence.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Protest, get the signs out, let's go.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
It's called comedy. And he didn't really do that toilet
paper hanging from you, and yeah, it was hilarious. Man,
hm mm hmmm. Uh so here we go. Uh what
what happened while I was gone? Did the shutdown? Did
they turn that off? That was done? Shut? Shut up.
I guess we'll get to that in just a little
bit because clearly the main hurdle has finally been hurdled.
(01:21):
And so, uh well, we'll see the rest of that
and see what happens. I think we have Congressman Jim
Jordan a little bit later. We'll talk to him about
that sweet and see what he has to offer. And
then you have Senator Houston. Yep, you got the house covered,
I got the Senate covered. So he'll be joining you
at Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Hey six six shut that's sixth dight.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
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 I'm just looking cocaine
addicts around Ohio. Gord.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah, 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.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
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. 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.
I flipped my clock to Christmas music last night. I've
(02:31):
got one of those Saco clocks that at the top
of the hour plays a tune and you can change
what and I flipped a Christmas last night. It was
just appropriate. Does it play I Got You babe, like,
you know, like groundhole. No, it doesn't do I get
at the top of the air I Got You? Yeah anyway, No,
So it's all it's playing Chris. You can tell it
what type and then it just rotates.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
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.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, but yeah, it was time to flip to Christmas.
So and it just random. It just it'll play a
random Christmas.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It's got 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 (03:16):
Is it so you're one of the people that obviously
believe it is time to go ahead and start Christmas?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Last night made me feel it was, Yeah, because it's
in the house. Yeah, just it just felt Christmas.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So you don't get in the car and no, I'm.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Not no, not yet, not yet. We did buy the
potpourri pine cones of 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
than I have in a few years.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
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 (03:59):
Yes, there's enough of a doubt. I think I had
about four inches on top of the vehicles this morning.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Wait a minute, are you serious. I'm not joking.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
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 1 (04:13):
It was like, yeah, maybe an inch, you know, what
I mean on the build up on mine. I we're
not just four inches?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I what, Yeah, the ground didn't have that much on it,
but the cars did. And then of course my mailman
had to screw up my yard. I like to look
at my yard and see the fresh leaf all in snow,
not the goloshes of Miguel the Maleman coming through my
I got big tracks through my yard now because I
am I know. I even yell at the cats in
(04:42):
the neighborhood. Yeh, because it's snowy. Man, it's pretty.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
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 like, next Sunday night 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,
(05:08):
but I can tell you each day this week we
get warmer and warmer. By the weekend. 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 out with Marshall
and see what he has to say about that. But
(05:28):
you ever notice we do that, we'll get in these patterns,
these like weekly patterns where that type of stuff hits. Yep,
they do it in the summer too.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
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 (05:53):
Right putting up the lights. Yeah, you know whatever. I
did not. While I watched some of the game on Saturday,
the Buckeyes, yes, and I think the report card was
still really good on them, thirty four to ten. They
did not cover the thirty and a half, and a
(06:13):
lot of people were kind of staring at that too,
going do 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. The odds makers, if
you will, they get it so close.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, it's not like it's Major League Baseball. They don't
have any control over this, right right exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
So Yeah, night game at the Shoe now coming up
on Saturday. U see la 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 (06:48):
Bring them California boys into a nice cold winter night
in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, complayball. 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
(07:12):
the next one. But there was a spokesperson for the
school 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. It's like you just
named every possibility, Like come on.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
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
(07:52):
pick your times and get it done. Don't make us
wait till the end to find out.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
You know when they typically if some thing, 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 never they're they're never gonna go, oh, you
got us by the you know what? The big ten
television partners holding off typically they have to announce kickoff
(08:20):
twelve days in advance. Listen to this. 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 to use one.
I don't know how many what does it say typically
(08:42):
if to announced, I 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. Anyway, it is Rutgers, so do They're
not gonna be it's not going to be a primetime game.
It won't be think about this every time. All ten
(09:02):
times we played them, we smoked them. So anyway, that's
it for what is their record this year?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
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 (09:19):
Well and it's Buckeye football. So you're like, well, we're
gonna put on Buckeye football and watch 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. Yeah,
(09:39):
just awful. Steelers got smoked in La last night. Ridiculous,
stupid Rogers. I'm telling you see every play that he
overthrows a wide open guy and then they cut to
him and he's Jawn running his mouth. It's like it's
aid smelling selt. It's making him crazy. Well, I haven't
seen him doing those like this. It's like, maybe you
(10:01):
should have done a little more of those. Maybe he's
using them as depositories. Now that burn a little, wouldn't
it just to tell a bit? I got ants in
the pants and I need to dance. I'm burning for you.
I keep thinking of bluish or cult in that situation.
I'm burning for you. Jets. Yeah, I mean, the Browns
(10:21):
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. But I was like, what
(10:43):
is happening? And then you guys are on a bye
The Bengals are on a by pan goodness. Yeah, we
couldn't lose this week. 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 (10:55):
Yeah. I'm going with the Packers. I'm going with the
whole team, give them the whole team. They are freight
train right now.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, don't I know that. Unfortunately as a Steeler fan.
Jackets are at Edmund and man, it's a rough road
trip for the Jackets right now. They're they're they're three
in a row. 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 (11:25):
I know on your headlines you did not have the
the culmination of the Hell is Real competition.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, I was trying to forget that because I felt
bad for the crew fans that.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah, 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,
(11:57):
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 wood it
takes to stay up there. It is kind of sad
to watch them walk away from it.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I'm definitely, you know, I'm not really a soccer fan either,
but I root for him clearly. Yeah, I mean they
are hometown. So 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, I'm gonna
I'm gonna root for him, you know, because people say
you're a Steeler fan, I'm like yeah, and then they go,
(12:32):
why aren't you a Penguins fan. I'm like, because I
like the Blue Jackets 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 proteain is the Buckeyes,
as far as football really is.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
They are one hundred and ten thousand people crammed into
every game, merchandising out the wazoo.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, they are essentially a protein. So were you surprised
to see the headlines start popping last night at sixty
forty was the vote, and I was I was very
surprized that came out of nowhere. 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,
(13:16):
who is it that voted up? Dick Durbin, Angus King
of Maine, Catherine Cortes Mastow of Nevada, Jackie Rosen of Nevada,
Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Tim Kine of Virginia. Tim Kane surprised me,
me too, He said he was focused on you know,
young and getting kicked out and who got elected there.
I don't even know the girl whatever, I don't know.
(13:38):
I don't pay attention. He said. 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? They well,
their reputation. Hopefully the Republicans didn't give in on anything.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I hope that the reputation because I mean, seriously, everybody
who needed me he didn't needed 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 long ago.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
People know they we gave up too quickly.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
And and this Congress, once again, we showed the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
To be weak.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
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
frey on something. If you said we're going to talk obamacare,
afterward you sit down and start talking Obamacare, keep your word.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Well, keep your word. But they're still not going to
give in on it.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I don't care what the end result is, but you're right,
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 (14:56):
That's what they'll change it to. Not that they're sitting down,
they're going to go well, they see they're going back
on the word they said they were going to do this.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
The beauty of it is is after this fiasco, people
are going to not accept that as a gospel truth.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I hope not. I hope not. And by the way,
Bernie Sanders did he do the voice for Ardvark, because
I think he did.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
He might.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
That's probably how I paid for at least one of
those four houses. Chief meteorologist Marshall McPeak joining us now.
Marshall I I was seeing over the weekend. I think
it was we were out of town, we were in Indiana,
and I saw like something, you know, pop up on
the phone. It said five to ten inches. I was
It was said parts well, it said parts of Ohio.
(15:42):
So it was like real vague, and I'm like clickbait
because I was like, even my wife goes, did you
see we're supposed to get fined? I go, no, no, no, no,
We're not getting five to ten inches in central Ohio.
I said, it said parts of Ohio, and you're they
want you to click on that. So yeah, that was
the Yeah. I don't know what you were seeing or whatever,
(16:03):
but I know there were parts of western Ohio that
picked up two to three.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Most of central Ohio had one to two, and most
of that was you know, grassy areas, elevated surfaces like
you know, the back deck, that sort of thing. The
ground surface temperatures are still between about thirty eight and
forty two, so a lot of and this will be
the case for tonight too, some snow showers that come through.
As those snowflakes hit that bare ground, they tend to
(16:31):
melt pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Now bridges and overcasts.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Bridges and overpasses are a whole different story because they
don't have that insulation of ground, so it's able to
get much colder and get closer to the air temperature,
which means bridges and overpasses ten to freeze first because
that surface becomes colder faster. So we're not going to
have the kind of thing that we had this morning
(16:55):
where we have snow pretty much everywhere and we've got
those slick spots. But we will drop into the mid
twenties tonight and we'll have some snowshowers, so a few
slick spots are still possible again tomorrow morning, but not
quite as widespread as what we had during the day
today or this morning and into the early afternoon. But yeah,
it's gonna get cold and windy tonight. Win chills be
in the teens tomorrow, windy, mostly cloudy, thirty eight degrees
(17:19):
for the afternoon high, so we're almost twenty degrees below average,
and then we're back up to normal on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
We'll be in the low to mid fifties and still windy.
All right, Marshall, thank you very much. It is thirty.
I'm actually looking up the name of this the name
of this this place that we went to when we
went dag Gonet. I knew it dag Gone. Is that
(17:50):
a town in Michigan? Now, dag Gnet. I'm looking for
just west to Dad Gummitt. I'm all there it is.
I was. I was like, I gotta find the name
of this place. It's called the Sporting Club at the Farm,
and it's a you know, it's a clay pigeon and
(18:11):
they and it's basically you go out on this property
and this is down in well New Albany, Indiana. It's
down where my sister lives, where we were over the weekend.
We went to a family reunion down there. And so
the Sporting Club at the Farm. You go there and
they do shooting competitions, all kinds of different stuff and
(18:32):
it's the coolest thing because you're in this basically this
wooden kind of you know, it's elevated where you're standing,
and they're kind of like bays and it's covered. And
then out where you're shooting, there's like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight and nine, and it's all different stations out there
(18:55):
where you have a remote that's up there with you
and you push like two, and where there's a big
two out on the grass that's the angle of the
clay that's gonna and they go all different directions. No,
you like skeet shoot, I've never done it before. You've
never shot clay pigeons? Was shotgun? No, Oh my gosh,
(19:16):
it is uh man, it's so fun. Oh my god.
I've been doing this for years and years and years
with my dad way back. I got I got a
twelve gauge Mossburg Riot Combo twelve gauge and it has
a shorter barrel and a pistol grip, or you can
put on the you know, the regular stock and then
the longer barrel for it.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Pistol grip changes everything with a shotgun. Well, it absolutely
accuracy is so much.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Better, Yeah, especially if it's a person across from you.
It's great home protection. You just get in the vicinity
and oh yeah, or you just rack up and that
usually gets everybody's attention to something like that. But we
were doing that out there. Well, Stone wanted to go,
and Josephine wanted to go, so I said, yeah, okay,
(20:03):
and we had some of the other younguns out there
with us as well, but they were like, we're just
gonna watch because I was like, you know, Stone, do
you wanna He's shaking his head. No, he didn't want to.
He didn't want any part of that. So Josephine finally
she got up the courage and my brother in law
Eric had a twenty gauge with him and I don't
(20:25):
know how much do you have? I mean you shot
shotguns before, Yes, okay, so twenty gauge less kit than
a twelve.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Gauge, right, And that's kind of funny how the higher
the gauge, the smaller the round I mean, the pellets
and so forth.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Yeah. Yeah, and then you get into four ten, which
is three numbers, and they're even smaller. Yeah. But so
he was like, yeah, she probably would do okay with
the twenty gauge. Well, she was like working up to it,
working up to it, and so finally I said, look,
we don't have to do any clay's, We don't do
any clay pigeons. You can just you know, just aim
(21:00):
it out there and shoot it, just to see what
it feels like, because they're both like man watching everything
and seeing you know, twelve gags is pretty good kick,
especially if you're using high brass or you put a
pumpkin ball in it or any of that stuff. And yeah,
which you're not going to use that for skeet anyway,
for clays. So she shoots and I go, so was
that as bad? And I was standing there with her
(21:21):
and she goes, yeah, that wasn't It wasn't that big
of a deal. I go, you want you want to
try to shoot a clay And she's like yeah, the
things you guys are doing the clay pit. I'm like yeah,
she goes, yeah, okay, I'll do that. So one is
the easiest location. It's kind of below you, and it
launches it just straight away, so you're you're already kind
of in line with it. You just kind of got
(21:41):
a judge as it floats out there before it starts
to fall when I tell you she had one. This
twenty gauge is just one shell at a time. She
put another shell in it and she I said, you
just say pull and the She's like pull boom. She
powdered the like she exploded one shot. She had never
shot a shotgun except for the time, but like maybe
(22:04):
I don't know. Two minutes before that and she said, yeah,
I'll try it her first shot. I go, Mike, drop,
you're done. That's awesome. You just tell people you're like.
It was really it was crazy to hop. Everybody's like,
what like clapping, it'stfe It was hilarious. But I said,
you want to try that again? And everyone's like no, no, no, no,
don't let her do it. Like she's right now, don't
(22:27):
she has that story to tell people now. It was funny, man,
it was hilarious. Said she shoot again? She did?
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Not good for her because I had I'll make this
really quick. My friend was shooting his dad's crossbow in
his backyard twenty five yards for he's just shooting, shoot
and shooting and shoot because I'm not quit until I
get up bulls. I never shot one before I go
I drove. I was like sixteen, I gotta let me
shoot it. I hit a bulls blazer. I could not
have hit the brownside.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I try.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
I hit the little tea and the bulls I pulled
out and.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
He goes, this is be it. I have not shot
a crossbow since I.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
Was Sixteenious, I am arguably the greatest crossbow shooter in
the history of humans.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
You're one hundred percent with h with the the bulls eye. Yes,
now shooting clap. It's hilarious, right, yeah. So she just
left it at that. Stone said no. I kept trying.
I said, man, I'll stand there with you'all. I'll help
you kind of hold it, I said. The biggest thing,
just don't let go of it. I don't know if
you've ever looked at like shotgun fails or shotgun meme
(23:31):
failed like those you ever watched any of those? Want
to Well, no, get hurt. Well, people do get hurt,
but it's more like where the gun just like black
and the barrel hits them like between the eyes and
like knocks them down or you know, they look and
they're bleeding or what it splits them open or whatever.
Just because people don't hold onto it, they're thinking it's
not gonna I just kept telling Josie. I'm like, dude,
(23:54):
you death grip this thing right now. I just want
you to. Now that's not gonna be good for competition,
clearly and all of that, but I just said, you've
got to hold on to this thing. That's the biggest thing.
Keep it pointed down range and don't let go of it,
no matter what you know it's like, and it won't
be And she said, this is nowhere near the battle
the thought we're gonna be or whatever. And so it's
(24:14):
kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
First time I shot a traditional shotgun. It was a
double barrel shotgun, and I held onto it fine, but
I did not brace myself for the kick against my
shoulder that was to come. Yes that I was almost
done with shotguns forever.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
At that point. Twelve gage, Yes, Yeah, was it sitting
off a little bit like you didn't have it snug?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Well, that's and I just wasn't prepared for that kind
of that's like against my shoulder, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
You gotta have it snug. So it just kind of
moves you as opposed to like getting punched by it
because you don't want to have it. That's what I
was explaining to her, I'm like, do not just kind
of rested there. I was like, you got to hold
on to it, you know, kind of a thing. But
it was hilarious and good for her. Absolutely. I just
I was like, hold in one. I was. I was
(25:00):
proud Papa definitely during that. And she did. She did really,
really well. So you getting her a shotgun for Christmas? No?
Absolutely not. No, There'll be no shotgun in her room.
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I got this for you, but I'm keeping it in
a safe in the basement, and I'm locking the basement
door and posting a guard. You can never touch it,
never see it, never use it. But it's yours, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I also have to say this too. Have you I'm
sure you've gone into McDonald's or fill in the blank
restaurant fast food restaurant where there's kiosks and they're everywhere. Yeah,
and then there's a register that's up behind the counter
that nobody mans and you have to use the kiosk
(25:50):
and feel your way through ordering. Have you done that?
Or I won't do that? Okay, I won't use a kiosk.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I have to talk to a human being so I
can yell at somebody when there's too many picks or something.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
The taco bell at King's Island. We went into this
taco bell and I kid you not, there are no
registers behind the counter. It's it's there are two kiosks
in front of the counter. And they said, I said,
can I just and they were, no, you have to.
You have to use the kiosk. I kid you not, Chuck.
(26:23):
The first of all, the music was blaring. I mean
they're playing like Miley Cyrus over the house, like the
speakers inside there. When I walked in, I couldn't even
hear myself. I was like, ah, and I'm half deaf.
Think about it. I've been a rock DJ my whole life,
and I was like, oh my gosh. Secondly, we start
trying to figure it out, and these three girls that
(26:44):
were working there were standing right behind the counter like
literally I could have reached out and touched one of them.
Well there's a lawsuit, and they were standing there like
goofing off the whole time. We're trying to figure out
how to order, and I looked up like, go, I'm
trying to look for a chili cheese burrito and they
were like yeah, those aren't on the regular menu. They go,
(27:05):
when you cash out, just hit cash. You're gonna pay cash,
and then we'll have somebody in the drive through ring
it up for you. And I'm not kidding. I was
in shock, so you have to check out twice. It
was unbelievable, man, I've never in my life. They just
looked at us like, you know, this is the norm.
They literally were standing there, goofing off the whole time,
(27:27):
not doing anything. But yet they couldn't take the order.
We had to figure it out on the kiosk.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
See, and I order an item when I do go
to Taco Bell very few times I go now, but
I the chicken chipotlet melt, which is not a menu item,
so you have to They got a massage, so I
guarantee you that's not on a kiosk.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
So there's no point in me going I love those things.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
They're like, oh the item, yeah, but if I if
I'm gonna have to you know, check out twice in
order to buy them. No, you're you've taken the convene's
out of convenience food.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
At that point, I started thinking maybe it's drived through
only from now on. But then some of those are AI,
and and you've got something AI talking back to it
that gets it wrong, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
I'm just like talking to me to take the whole
then to have the fake when you pull up, Welcome.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
To our restaurant. May I take your order? Please? Yeah?
I like to get the number three? Cobo? H Do
you want to pick us on that? What happened to
the other guy? Right? That's a according? Can you put
it back on? Yeah? I hate to sound like that. Oh,
get off my luck, But the thing is, I get
it if you're going, all right, we only have two
(28:42):
people to run the entire store, and they got to
be back there cooking or you know, making the orders.
But when you have three extra people and there are
other people working in the kitchen and they're all just
kind of standing around goofing off, and you're like, hey,
can you take can you put that? And they they're like, no,
you have to do that? On the I was like,
what has happened to these places? Chuck? I'll never get
(29:05):
used to that. Would you like to add a tip? Oh?
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Man?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Holy cal I will say this. The redeeming part of
this is I said we're gonna have probably twenty or
plus items. They actually nailed all of it. It was
all correct. Wow plus. So there it is. I will
give them that Christmas Story. Of course, everybody starts watching it.
Seems like this one of the channels runs it, I believe,
(29:31):
like twenty four to seven for a while, the Christmas
Story Channel. Yeah, I'm just joking. I don't know what
is it? Zach sorry? PBS Oh, TBS okay, TBS. Yeah,
I knew somebody would. It seems like every year just
runs it. You watch have you seen it?
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yes, yes, the Queen is rather obsessed with that movie.
Oh to the.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Point I tried to buy that lamp. There's no way
sheet let it in the house, the leg LAMPO.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
You have younger boys in the house, who uh it's
funny how they the way they portray that back then.
I don't think kids now they wouldn't take a second
look at it because they're like, oh yeah, I see
worse than that on the internet. Yeah. Then it was like, ooh,
that's really racy. Who you got a leg lamp? The
lights up? What was Ralphie like having a like staring
(30:28):
at the leg lamp like before you open it, and.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
He's like fradly.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Well, that must be Italian. I forgot about that. I
haven't seen that in a while. Have you seen the
actual house in Cleveland either, what? I haven't been to
it been up there, Zach No, Yes, no, I have
not seen it, the actual house. It's in Cleveland. Of course.
I think a lot of people know that here. I
suppose there are some ears right now that are like
(30:55):
what it is? You know, maybe you didn't know. But
you can spend the night there and you'll have exclusive
access to the house after museum hours. Hang out on
the living room couch with hot coco, look out the
window where Ralphie dreamed of his baby gun, and then
take photos. Of course, all of that the iconic Christmas tree.
(31:16):
The bedrooms are restored in full nineteen forty style, by
the way, in case you're wondering, it's like, well does
it really look Yes, it will look like the movie
from Twin Beds. The uh shaneil bedspreads pink bunny pajamas
waiting for you to try on. They also say they're
(31:37):
yours to keep.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Oh well, yeah, nobody else wants them. E've been wearing them.
I don't write.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
It's not like they're they're going to have like community
bunny jammys, my hotel robes. Just take it with you.
You can wash it, yeah, you could do. They have ovaltine.
They don't mention that. They don't mention that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
But are those damn dogs still because I got to
use for a bb gun. If they come in my
kitchen for a turkey, I'm.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Gonna shoot someone's eye out and it ain't gonna be mine.
But I don't I can't imagine there's any availability left.
But they're like, you can reserve your stay for this month,
and all I can't. I can't imagine that there's any
kind of And it's not like you're gonna stay there
with other people you don't know, so it's got to
be one family at a time. And I have no
(32:26):
idea what this costs either. I can't imagine that's cheap.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
That's it's I mean, if you've got the whole house
and you can sit on the sofa and all that stuff,
that's probably a grand a night. I would think that's
gonna be you know, it's got the draw of the
movie and then the pink bunny jammies, but picture picture
Ralphie in your head right now, both of you picture Ralphie.
I'm gonna give you two words to tell you who
I think he grew up to be. He got him
in your head? You got the picture in your head.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
The one from the movie? Correct, Yes, Yes, got him
in your head. Zack got him in your head? Yep,
got him fringe Poe.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Oh does he not look like baby Dowine?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I could see that he does. I could see that
with the glasses, And every.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Time I see him, I'm like that, Mike, that's Mike Dwine.
He looks like baby Dowine to me.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Just hanging there, kid, don't shoot your eye out. You're
gonna be governor of Ohio one day. Oh on, second last,
those pink jammies from then still fit him.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
I just the biggest moron in the whole thing. I
always laugh at the kid who's so bundled up he
can't get up off the ground, right.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
But then the moron.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Who put when he put his tongue on the pole,
I'm like, that is so stupid. You know what happened
all over this country, But it's just so How can
any kid, at any point in our history have been
that dumb? How do we move forward with a nation
full of kids that did that, And.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Then you also think it's like, was big medicine behind
that because you think about when that movie comes out,
dramatic has to be an elevated amount of visits to
uh the eoll yeah, or you know the the fire
department runs where they're coming out or they you can
(34:19):
just search it up now, like how do you get
your But I can't imagine. I'll tear the hide right
off your tongue. Yeah, you have no taste buds for
a while. Oh gosh, imagine how much that would hurt.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Terrence were tougher back then, though, you know you do
that put some vict on it.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
No, you need it. I mean to be fair. He
got triple dog there. Yeah, and it was a dog.
What do you what do you back out? No?
Speaker 6 (34:42):
You gotta do it then, Yeah, double dog's bad enough,
but he tripled. He went triple so couldn't back out?
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Were they like, No, it's like I triple dog. They're like, oh, anyway, Yeah,
you can stay at the house and relive it if
you that's your thing. Did you I figured you would
look up like what what it costs nightly to stay?
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
I send it to you guys. Yeah, but I'm not
I can't look at that. While it's that.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
They have a suite, you could stay in the upstairs suite. Yes,
that room is two forty five a night. But if
you take the whole house.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Oh, so you can share the house with other people,
like other strangers that're like it. But I'm not sure.
I don't want to say yes because you're not closed off.
It's not like you're in a hotel where you have
a separate door you can lock when you go to
sleep from the room next to you. I just leave
it open. Yeah, forget that, open it up, share bed whatever.
(35:47):
How do you feel about a two thousand dollars stimulus check?
I feel fine? Where do I sign? Okay, so you're
good with that. There are plenty of people who are
like no, because it's coming from the government. The government
should use that money to pay debt, not send it
to me. So you're one of those people that no,
I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Yeah, you know what, nobility. I just had this conversation
a few hours ago too. Because I'm a firm believer.
If you got like a net worth of ten million dollars,
if if that was me, my social Security check would
be designated to a charity.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
I don't need it. They're not gonna give it to
you to start with, because they said no, they said
high incomes, accept those with high end No.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
I mean social security. Oh I'm just saying if I
had a ten million dollar net worth, I wouldn't accept
Social Security I designated to a charity or something.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
But I thought you misspoke there. I thought you were. Yeah.
If you if you turn this down, where's that money
gonna go? Yeah you can't. I mean it would just
automatically go into your I mean they use if this
is anything like during COVID, they just use your SoC Yeah,
and it just pops into your account, just like how
(36:59):
you file tax. So if the money shows up and
you're one of those people that's like, uh uh, well
didn't donate it to somebody, write it all. Wake up,
check my balanty. It's a beautiful die in the diaperhood.
As soon as it pops in there, I'm having dinner. Yeah,
I was on true social Trump said the payments would
all go to Americans, or go to all Americans except
those with high incomes. No details on how the funds
(37:23):
would be distributed or when the plan would take effect.
We're taking in trillions of dollars as soon begin paying
down our enormous debt. Trump wrote also a dividend of
at least two thousand dollars a person, not including high
income people, will be paid to everyone.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
And he wants to use part I understand too, to
bonus those air traffic controllers who continued to show up
to work bonus in ten thousand dollars for making it happen.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Is that what he was saying. I just saw that
a little while ago. Yeah, so God bless him. And
they said a lot of those people, not only are
they not showing up, they're actually retiring to the tune
of fifteen to twenty. They were talking about basically a
month or a week. What the timeframe escapes me, but
they mentioned about fifteen to twenty, and I was like,
(38:06):
are you serious. We have that many people that are
eligible to retire and they're and they're doing it right now.
They're actually retiring right now because they're like, all right,
I'm done with this. Yeah, well the government show I don't.
You can't really blame them. I mean, think about it, Chuck,
we need you to come to work and do this.
Every day, and yeah, you're gonna get paid at some point,
but not right now. If I'm old enough to retire. Honestly,
(38:30):
I don't know if I want the stress of having
hundreds of people in the air that are my responsibility
every day. Yeah, I don't think I'd be sticking around
any longer than I had to invested got my pension.
Say yea, I didn't realize how like the inner workings,
and I think they somewhat expose and look correct me
if I'm wrong on this, if you're an air traffic
(38:50):
controller or you worked in that business or had a
family a member that worked in it. But pushing ten
Tin Pushing ten, which is John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton's
and Angelina Jolie. Did you see that the movie where
they're air traffic controllers.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
I feel like I have watched it, but I don't
know that I paid particular attention to. It's one of
those things that might have been on and I was
doing something else.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
It's really good. Don't agree with anybody's political stances there
that are in the movie, but that is I don't
know how realistic that is, but it looks like and
you see they have a high rate of suicide and
all of these different things. So now throw in addition
to everything else, they get pretty good money I think
(39:36):
starting out. Then you throw into a into account, it's
like you're not getting paid right now too, and they're
already stressed out of their minds, probably on you know, well,
I'm just I don't want to speculate what they're on
as far as meds and all that stuff. But the
thing of it is.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Is I understand some of them not being able to
cut I mean, especially if you're in an expensive place. Look,
I got no money to pay the daycare or the childcare,
whatever I do with my kids. I the gas is
still expensive for me. I I can't do it. I understand.
I don't actually have a problem with that. If you're
(40:15):
not getting a paycheck in this paycheck to paycheck country,
you got to make decisions.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
So if driving for Uber and making a few bucks
is what's going to uh to you know, feed the
kids and pay the bills, do what you gotta do.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
I will say the Doge dividends that never showed up.
I I it wasn't my favorite thing that they started
even talking about that, and that just mysteriously disappeared, went
into that one trillion dollar pay package.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
Well you remember that, I'm talking do I'm talking about
Elon's newest contract. Oh yeah, you missed that while you
were gone. Yeah, yeah, Tesla will be They've agreed to
a one trillion dollar pay package for what for Elon?
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Oh for CEO from the government corporation from the government.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
No, oh no, Tesla Corp. Has guaranteed or agreed to
a one trillion dollar payment to Elon as CEO.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Oh so he'll be the first ever, he'll be the
first trillionaire. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Yeah, but they you know, stock is up seventeen since
he took the reins.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
So arguably is he owed that. I mean, look what
he's done with this company. Okay, I didn't know where
you come down on it, because I don't have any
problem with that's that's that's private. That's a private company at.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
All you can get Yeah, if they're willing to pay
it and you want it, sign here.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Yeah I didn't. I Again, with the Doge dividends, I
the fact that they brought all of that up and
then it just kind of went away. So as far
as this two thousand dollars stimulus check. I'll tell you
if this is not something that he should have thrown
out there, if it's not really going to happen, there
are a lot of people that will hold this against
(42:00):
him and against other Republicans come midterm time if they
keep throwing this stuff up there and then nothing happens
from it. I can totally see where some people would
be like, hey, stop flapping your gums if you're not
serious about it, because you're given, you're telling some Americans,
some people who are really really down on their luck
(42:20):
that need this money, really need it, and don't do
that if you're not completely serious about it. Don't just
throw it up there and then be like, oh, well, yeah,
that didn't materialize.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
It And I said it out loud in print under
his own account on his social media platform. There's no
saying that this was a misunderstanding, which.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Tells me, if all of that's happening, it should be happening.
But we read about the dose stuff. I don't know
did he actually come out did he specifically say that,
you know, I don't remember him actually saying it, like
actually uttering the word. Yeah. So we'll see if the
(42:59):
two thousand dollars a stimulus. But I'm going to see
where this goes. This is pretty interesting. So I ran
out to get coffee right before the show and I'm
walking across the parking lot and Marshall, the wind was
cutting me in half. I was like, oh, man, the
wind chill. And You're like, well, I'll stay tuned because
(43:21):
just you wait, but are we going to be in
the sink? We're not going to be in the single
digits for wind chills overnight, No, but teens teams, which yeah,
for all intents and yeah, back in my teens again,
that's nice. Were you I really just run into I
(43:42):
was like, no, I'm not ready for this. I will
say more coffee. Yeah, well I was doing that too,
but I will say this. I'll throw this in and
I also get a plug in for one of our advertisers.
But you know, with a wake in one eighty and
you know, losing the weight that I've lost that is
not helping with regard to the wind chill and the
(44:03):
wind I did. I lost some insulation.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Man.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
My wife's like, I've never seen you complain to be
so cold over the weekend, Like we're staying in a
hotel room and I'm like it is freezing in here.
I can't get warm. But like she's like, I have
never seen you do this. I'm like, well, you know,
I have lost some weight.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
And there's such an amateur at the blatant plug game.
You really are, What do you mean? Because I look
with awake in one eighty, I feel the cold a
whole lot more than I used to feel the cold
when there was more of me. But thanks to my
Vanskoy hair, I don't Shill.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
Had to work in one of his he had to
work in. Yeah, so he's feeling less. He has more
since he has the hair on top of his head.
Now he's holding in the heat. Heaps the heat in
your body. Yes, yeah, not only do I roll gold Darling,
I feel God throwback Billy Crystal would be proud. Yeah.
(45:02):
So anyway, that's unfortunately where so I'm like, uh, I
need to buy a second coat to put over the
first coat that I'm gonna wear this year. So I
have two coats on now one.
Speaker 5 (45:11):
I mean, layers are a really good idea tomorrow morning,
because especially if you have to stand out at the
bus stop for any length of time, it is gonna
be cold out there. It's gonna be windy, and so
you're gonna definitely feel that chill. Winds are gonna be
ten to twenty miles an hour overnight tonight, gusting twenty
five to thirty and that's what's pushing those wind chills
(45:32):
down into the teens. Could get a couple of snow
showers here and there. They'll be random, but if one
rolls through your neighborhood, it could create some slick spots.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
So be mindful again. Tomorrow morning. Tuesday afternoon, it's cold.
Speaker 5 (45:44):
It's wendy thirty eight for the high and then Wednesday
we're in the fifties, so we're gonna melt.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
It all off.
Speaker 5 (45:52):
It'll still be kind of windy with a mix of
sun and clouds.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
All right, thanks Marshall. Twenty nine right now. And if
you work for Target, you're supposed to smile more. According
to it. Yeah, they put a memo out telling employees
you have to smile more. They're mandating employees smile more
on the job. You have to smile more. And they
say that smile and make eye contact with any customer
(46:16):
that comes within ten feet. That literally is what it
reads right here. They also have to ask if they
need help or make small talk if they get within
four feet.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
Well, you know, here's what's said. That used to just
be the way things were. You didn't need a corporate
directive to tell you this. Right where my mind went
as I was reading this.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
The new rules are aimed at improving the customer experience
after declining sales thanks to a boycott of retailer over
DEI measures do you say in a situation like this,
do you go Nope, too late you guys, you made
your bed, now lie in it? Or can they be redeemable?
Speaker 2 (46:57):
I don't you know everybody can be reading deemed. I
I'm just I'm a middle ground kind of guy. I
do not like to be ignored. I hate to go
someplace and there's nobody even around to ask a question.
But there's also gotta I don't I don't want to
go in and you know, like walking into Sun TV
and get assaulted like a swat team coming at you
(47:18):
as soon as you walk in the door.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
Right side, Yeah, don't you just go on microwave of
and I bought it that's on TV, so.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
Yeah, they I mean, they would just accost you as
soon as you walked in the door.
Speaker 1 (47:36):
You're going to have questions. Do you have these in stock?
Right now? Is this time of year?
Speaker 2 (47:41):
I don't want to find something to go this is perfect,
only to find that, oh, that's a floor model.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
We don't have any in stock.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Little questions like that can save me a lot of
time and keep me from being frustrated. And having somebody
who works there to answer those questions would be a
wonderful thing.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
I can hear management now if Chuck worked there. Chuck,
we were watching you today and we noticed that you
didn't make small talk with that person. And I could
hear you going they were five feet away easily, and
you said four feet, so they were really out of
my range. Plus I didn't like the way they look.
He was ugly. They're planning to also remodel in upgrade
(48:20):
stores to Walmart and Disney have had smile rules in
place for years. They go on to say, at the
end of this, but there it is if you go
into Target and you notice a friendlier staff and they
just know that it's working at that particular Target. If
you walk in there and you start going, well, I
didn't really see this before, but you're right, it's like,
(48:41):
what what's unfortunately most of the generation. And I'm after
my kids all the time. Josie not so much. She's
she's very friendly and very she'll matter of fact, she'll
talk your ear off. But Stone is very kind of
and I'm always like working with him. Hey, make eye contact,
you know, I'm constantly on him. Talk talk talk, talk
(49:02):
talk talk. You need to make people feel easy around you.
Don't just peer at people. Yeah, through that hair that's
going down in front of your eyes.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
I miss true department stores for just that reason. You know,
when you walk into a Lazarus or Macy's or even Jacobson's.
Remember we had Jacobson for about fifteen minutes in Columbus, Sure,
and there would be people there kind of European in
a way. There'd almost be like the floor walker situation
and designated salespeople who would be called over if you
(49:32):
needed something. I understand that's old fashioned, but it made
shopping a pleasure for people, and it made Frankly, I
think it made the customer feel good. Wow, I walked
in here and these people catered to me.
Speaker 1 (49:45):
Guess what happens when that they do that? They come back. Well,
not only do they come back, they probably pick up
an extra item or two. Oh yeah, because they feel
comfortable in there, so they're going to continue walking around.
What else can I find instead of let me get
the hell out of here. These people are crazy and
here look at the way they're looking at me this place.
Oh my gosh, look at these people. This is awful.
(50:06):
Why are they staring. They're just peering at me like
I'm making them uncomfortable, Like they want me to leave
because I have to. I gotta work. If you're here,
I mean, think about that for a second. If you
own the place and the people that are working there
make you feel great about it, why wouldn't you. You
might buy a few more things there, your bottom line
goes up. It is so simple to me, that kind
(50:29):
of logic. It's like it makes so much sense, yet
it is so absent.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
Catering to people brings them back to you. They spend
more money with you. You are their choice with it. I mean,
you could go to Macy's when they were still kicking
hard and being full scale department store. And I had
a listener to when I did music, had a late
night show, and one of my listeners she actually worked
at Macy's in the women's department, and her specialty was brals,
(50:57):
fitting women with brals because when and you know, have
a tendency one is bigger than the other or whatever.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
Yeah, that was your side hustle. You started working the mine.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
Yeah I wish no this, but that was her job
and she had been doing it for like fifteen years
as a brazier or undergarment specialist.
Speaker 1 (51:16):
She have business card with that and no.
Speaker 2 (51:18):
No, but that was her and stuff like or you know,
you just bought a suit recently, think about how you
felt in there with people catering to you and getting
the measurements just right and tailoring that suit and pressing
that shirt before you even walked out. That kind of
served even goober at the gas station. So I don't
have to smell like regular unleaded when I go to
my meeting. Those things I miss, I really do.
Speaker 1 (51:43):
I don't even know of a gas station where they
come out and it's fuel served, not self served. I
don't know. Swifty was the last lift and they're going now.
I don't know of anybody else that does it. Not
one person, yeah, not one, not one person, but one.
Speaker 2 (51:59):
That's a small sure, because that gas comes off of
the handle onto your hand, and you're you know, you're
on your way to a meeting to meet a client
or whatever, trying to get them to hail sponsor the
radio show, and you got to show up with the
smell of gasoline on your hand because you had to
stop for gas. It's just little things mean a lot.
And when you make my world better, I have a
(52:20):
tendency to make my world better too.
Speaker 1 (52:22):
I'm reaching into my wallet if you help my world
be better. I mean, seriously, it is so simple. It's
elementary to me.
Speaker 2 (52:29):
I pay another twenty cents of gallons, quarter a gallon
or whatever if you're gonna come out and pump the
gas for me.
Speaker 1 (52:34):
Especially if it's sideways snow or sideways rain.
Speaker 2 (52:37):
Yes, are you kidding me? There might even be a
tip involved. Well yeah, if the weather's really crappy, they's
totally decent.
Speaker 1 (52:43):
Yeah, I mean, how is it any different than somebody
who shows up at your house with the food, pizza,
or you know, Huber or any of those. I guess
Welcome Man, Happy Monday.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm telling you, you gotta put the Gleason thing into that.
If you're gonna do it, you gotta put the Gleason
thing into it.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
What hand away we go? Oh, you gotta do it
like Jackie did it. I forgot about that, which is
why I guess I didn't do it. Oh Man Happy.
But I do remember it once you cite it. Famous
fat Man should never be forgotten. Oh, I love it.
I love him seriously.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
In The Honeymooners, I'm for some reason, I'm like the
one guy on the planet that did not I can't watch.
So the Honeymooners comes on the old people's TV show
TV channel, I gotta change it.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, I just don't like that show. I don't either,
and I quite frankly, I'm stuck. I'm smoking the bandit.
You know that's really junior.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yes, there's no way you come from my loins.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
When I get home, I'm gonna punch your mommy in
the mouth, which you could never get away with writing
into a script now, because they'd be like, it's domestic violence.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Protest, get the signs out, let's go.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
It's called comedy. And he didn't really do that toilet
paper hanging from you, and yeah, it was hilarious. Man,
hm mm hmmm. Uh so here we go. Uh what
what happened while I was gone? Did the shutdown? Did
they turn that off? That was done? Shut? Shut up.
I guess we'll get to that in just a little
bit because clearly the main hurdle has finally been hurdled.
(01:21):
And so, uh well, we'll see the rest of that
and see what happens. I think we have Congressman Jim
Jordan a little bit later. We'll talk to him about
that sweet and see what he has to offer. And
then you have Senator Houston. Yep, you got the house covered,
I got the Senate covered. So he'll be joining you
at Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Hey six six shut that's sixth dight.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
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 I'm just looking cocaine
addicts around Ohio. Gord.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah, 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.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
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. 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.
I flipped my clock to Christmas music last night. I've
(02:31):
got one of those Saco clocks that at the top
of the hour plays a tune and you can change
what and I flipped a Christmas last night. It was
just appropriate. Does it play I Got You babe, like,
you know, like groundhole. No, it doesn't do I get
at the top of the air I Got You? Yeah anyway, No,
So it's all it's playing Chris. You can tell it
what type and then it just rotates.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
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.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, but yeah, it was time to flip to Christmas.
So and it just random. It just it'll play a
random Christmas.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It's got 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 (03:16):
Is it so you're one of the people that obviously
believe it is time to go ahead and start Christmas?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Last night made me feel it was, Yeah, because it's
in the house. Yeah, just it just felt Christmas.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So you don't get in the car and no, I'm.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Not no, not yet, not yet. We did buy the
potpourri pine cones of 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
than I have in a few years.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
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 (03:59):
Yes, there's enough of a doubt. I think I had
about four inches on top of the vehicles this morning.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Wait a minute, are you serious. I'm not joking.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
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 1 (04:13):
It was like, yeah, maybe an inch, you know, what
I mean on the build up on mine. I we're
not just four inches?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I what, Yeah, the ground didn't have that much on it,
but the cars did. And then of course my mailman
had to screw up my yard. I like to look
at my yard and see the fresh leaf all in snow,
not the goloshes of Miguel the Maleman coming through my
I got big tracks through my yard now because I
am I know. I even yell at the cats in
(04:42):
the neighborhood. Yeh, because it's snowy. Man, it's pretty.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
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 like, next Sunday night 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,
(05:08):
but I can tell you each day this week we
get warmer and warmer. By the weekend. 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 out with Marshall
and see what he has to say about that. But
(05:28):
you ever notice we do that, we'll get in these patterns,
these like weekly patterns where that type of stuff hits. Yep,
they do it in the summer too.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
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 (05:53):
Right putting up the lights. Yeah, you know whatever. I
did not. While I watched some of the game on Saturday,
the Buckeyes, yes, and I think the report card was
still really good on them, thirty four to ten. They
did not cover the thirty and a half, and a
(06:13):
lot of people were kind of staring at that too,
going do 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. The odds makers, if
you will, they get it so close.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, it's not like it's Major League Baseball. They don't
have any control over this, right right exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
So Yeah, night game at the Shoe now coming up
on Saturday. U see la 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 (06:48):
Bring them California boys into a nice cold winter night
in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, complayball. 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
(07:12):
the next one. But there was a spokesperson for the
school 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. It's like you just
named every possibility, Like come on.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
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
(07:52):
pick your times and get it done. Don't make us
wait till the end to find out.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
You know when they typically if some thing, 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 never they're they're never gonna go, oh, you
got us by the you know what? The big ten
television partners holding off typically they have to announce kickoff
(08:20):
twelve days in advance. Listen to this. 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 to use one.
I don't know how many what does it say typically
(08:42):
if to announced, I 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. Anyway, it is Rutgers, so do They're
not gonna be it's not going to be a primetime game.
It won't be think about this every time. All ten
(09:02):
times we played them, we smoked them. So anyway, that's
it for what is their record this year?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
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 (09:19):
Well and it's Buckeye football. So you're like, well, we're
gonna put on Buckeye football and watch 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. Yeah,
(09:39):
just awful. Steelers got smoked in La last night. Ridiculous,
stupid Rogers. I'm telling you see every play that he
overthrows a wide open guy and then they cut to
him and he's Jawn running his mouth. It's like it's
aid smelling selt. It's making him crazy. Well, I haven't
seen him doing those like this. It's like, maybe you
(10:01):
should have done a little more of those. Maybe he's
using them as depositories. Now that burn a little, wouldn't
it just to tell a bit? I got ants in
the pants and I need to dance. I'm burning for you.
I keep thinking of bluish or cult in that situation.
I'm burning for you. Jets. Yeah, I mean, the Browns
(10:21):
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. But I was like, what
(10:43):
is happening? And then you guys are on a bye
The Bengals are on a by pan goodness. Yeah, we
couldn't lose this week. 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 (10:55):
Yeah. I'm going with the Packers. I'm going with the
whole team, give them the whole team. They are freight
train right now.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, don't I know that. Unfortunately as a Steeler fan.
Jackets are at Edmund and man, it's a rough road
trip for the Jackets right now. They're they're they're three
in a row. 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 (11:25):
I know on your headlines you did not have the
the culmination of the Hell is Real competition.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, I was trying to forget that because I felt
bad for the crew fans that.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah, 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,
(11:57):
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 wood it
takes to stay up there. It is kind of sad
to watch them walk away from it.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I'm definitely, you know, I'm not really a soccer fan either,
but I root for him clearly. Yeah, I mean they
are hometown. So 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, I'm gonna
I'm gonna root for him, you know, because people say
you're a Steeler fan, I'm like yeah, and then they go,
(12:32):
why aren't you a Penguins fan. I'm like, because I
like the Blue Jackets 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 proteain is the Buckeyes,
as far as football really is.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
They are one hundred and ten thousand people crammed into
every game, merchandising out the wazoo.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, they are essentially a protein. So were you surprised
to see the headlines start popping last night at sixty
forty was the vote, and I was I was very
surprized that came out of nowhere. 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,
(13:16):
who is it that voted up? Dick Durbin, Angus King
of Maine, Catherine Cortes Mastow of Nevada, Jackie Rosen of Nevada,
Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Tim Kine of Virginia. Tim Kane surprised me,
me too, He said he was focused on you know,
young and getting kicked out and who got elected there.
I don't even know the girl whatever, I don't know.
(13:38):
I don't pay attention. He said. 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? They well,
their reputation. Hopefully the Republicans didn't give in on anything.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I hope that the reputation because I mean, seriously, everybody
who needed me he didn't needed 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 long ago.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
People know they we gave up too quickly.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
And and this Congress, once again, we showed the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
To be weak.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
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
frey on something. If you said we're going to talk obamacare,
afterward you sit down and start talking Obamacare, keep your word.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Well, keep your word. But they're still not going to
give in on it.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I don't care what the end result is, but you're right,
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 (14:56):
That's what they'll change it to. Not that they're sitting down,
they're going to go well, they see they're going back
on the word they said they were going to do this.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
The beauty of it is is after this fiasco, people
are going to not accept that as a gospel truth.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I hope not. I hope not. And by the way,
Bernie Sanders did he do the voice for Ardvark, because
I think he did.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
He might.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
That's probably how I paid for at least one of
those four houses. Chief meteorologist Marshall McPeak joining us now.
Marshall I I was seeing over the weekend. I think
it was we were out of town, we were in Indiana,
and I saw like something, you know, pop up on
the phone. It said five to ten inches. I was
It was said parts well, it said parts of Ohio.
(15:42):
So it was like real vague, and I'm like clickbait
because I was like, even my wife goes, did you
see we're supposed to get fined? I go, no, no, no, no,
We're not getting five to ten inches in central Ohio.
I said, it said parts of Ohio, and you're they
want you to click on that. So yeah, that was
the Yeah. I don't know what you were seeing or whatever,
(16:03):
but I know there were parts of western Ohio that
picked up two to three.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Most of central Ohio had one to two, and most
of that was you know, grassy areas, elevated surfaces like
you know, the back deck, that sort of thing. The
ground surface temperatures are still between about thirty eight and
forty two, so a lot of and this will be
the case for tonight too, some snow showers that come through.
As those snowflakes hit that bare ground, they tend to
(16:31):
melt pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Now bridges and overcasts.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Bridges and overpasses are a whole different story because they
don't have that insulation of ground, so it's able to
get much colder and get closer to the air temperature,
which means bridges and overpasses ten to freeze first because
that surface becomes colder faster. So we're not going to
have the kind of thing that we had this morning
(16:55):
where we have snow pretty much everywhere and we've got
those slick spots. But we will drop into the mid
twenties tonight and we'll have some snowshowers, so a few
slick spots are still possible again tomorrow morning, but not
quite as widespread as what we had during the day
today or this morning and into the early afternoon. But yeah,
it's gonna get cold and windy tonight. Win chills be
in the teens tomorrow, windy, mostly cloudy, thirty eight degrees
(17:19):
for the afternoon high, so we're almost twenty degrees below average,
and then we're back up to normal on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
We'll be in the low to mid fifties and still windy.
All right, Marshall, thank you very much. It is thirty.
I'm actually looking up the name of this the name
of this this place that we went to when we
went dag Gonet. I knew it dag Gone. Is that
(17:50):
a town in Michigan? Now, dag Gnet. I'm looking for
just west to Dad Gummitt. I'm all there it is.
I was. I was like, I gotta find the name
of this place. It's called the Sporting Club at the Farm,
and it's a you know, it's a clay pigeon and
(18:11):
they and it's basically you go out on this property
and this is down in well New Albany, Indiana. It's
down where my sister lives, where we were over the weekend.
We went to a family reunion down there. And so
the Sporting Club at the Farm. You go there and
they do shooting competitions, all kinds of different stuff and
(18:32):
it's the coolest thing because you're in this basically this
wooden kind of you know, it's elevated where you're standing,
and they're kind of like bays and it's covered. And
then out where you're shooting, there's like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight and nine, and it's all different stations out there
(18:55):
where you have a remote that's up there with you
and you push like two, and where there's a big
two out on the grass that's the angle of the
clay that's gonna and they go all different directions. No,
you like skeet shoot, I've never done it before. You've
never shot clay pigeons? Was shotgun? No, Oh my gosh,
(19:16):
it is uh man, it's so fun. Oh my god.
I've been doing this for years and years and years
with my dad way back. I got I got a
twelve gauge Mossburg Riot Combo twelve gauge and it has
a shorter barrel and a pistol grip, or you can
put on the you know, the regular stock and then
the longer barrel for it.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Pistol grip changes everything with a shotgun. Well, it absolutely
accuracy is so much.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Better, Yeah, especially if it's a person across from you.
It's great home protection. You just get in the vicinity
and oh yeah, or you just rack up and that
usually gets everybody's attention to something like that. But we
were doing that out there. Well, Stone wanted to go,
and Josephine wanted to go, so I said, yeah, okay,
(20:03):
and we had some of the other younguns out there
with us as well, but they were like, we're just
gonna watch because I was like, you know, Stone, do
you wanna He's shaking his head. No, he didn't want to.
He didn't want any part of that. So Josephine finally
she got up the courage and my brother in law
Eric had a twenty gauge with him and I don't
(20:25):
know how much do you have? I mean you shot
shotguns before, Yes, okay, so twenty gauge less kit than
a twelve.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Gauge, right, And that's kind of funny how the higher
the gauge, the smaller the round I mean, the pellets
and so forth.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Yeah. Yeah, and then you get into four ten, which
is three numbers, and they're even smaller. Yeah. But so
he was like, yeah, she probably would do okay with
the twenty gauge. Well, she was like working up to it,
working up to it, and so finally I said, look,
we don't have to do any clay's, We don't do
any clay pigeons. You can just you know, just aim
(21:00):
it out there and shoot it, just to see what
it feels like, because they're both like man watching everything
and seeing you know, twelve gags is pretty good kick,
especially if you're using high brass or you put a
pumpkin ball in it or any of that stuff. And yeah,
which you're not going to use that for skeet anyway,
for clays. So she shoots and I go, so was
that as bad? And I was standing there with her
(21:21):
and she goes, yeah, that wasn't It wasn't that big
of a deal. I go, you want you want to
try to shoot a clay And she's like yeah, the
things you guys are doing the clay pit. I'm like yeah,
she goes, yeah, okay, I'll do that. So one is
the easiest location. It's kind of below you, and it
launches it just straight away, so you're you're already kind
of in line with it. You just kind of got
(21:41):
a judge as it floats out there before it starts
to fall when I tell you she had one. This
twenty gauge is just one shell at a time. She
put another shell in it and she I said, you
just say pull and the She's like pull boom. She
powdered the like she exploded one shot. She had never
shot a shotgun except for the time, but like maybe
(22:04):
I don't know. Two minutes before that and she said, yeah,
I'll try it her first shot. I go, Mike, drop,
you're done. That's awesome. You just tell people you're like.
It was really it was crazy to hop. Everybody's like,
what like clapping, it'stfe It was hilarious. But I said,
you want to try that again? And everyone's like no, no, no, no,
don't let her do it. Like she's right now, don't
(22:27):
she has that story to tell people now. It was funny, man,
it was hilarious. Said she shoot again? She did?
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Not good for her because I had I'll make this
really quick. My friend was shooting his dad's crossbow in
his backyard twenty five yards for he's just shooting, shoot
and shooting and shoot because I'm not quit until I
get up bulls. I never shot one before I go
I drove. I was like sixteen, I gotta let me
shoot it. I hit a bulls blazer. I could not
have hit the brownside.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I try.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
I hit the little tea and the bulls I pulled
out and.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
He goes, this is be it. I have not shot
a crossbow since I.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
Was Sixteenious, I am arguably the greatest crossbow shooter in
the history of humans.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
You're one hundred percent with h with the the bulls eye. Yes,
now shooting clap. It's hilarious, right, yeah. So she just
left it at that. Stone said no. I kept trying.
I said, man, I'll stand there with you'all. I'll help
you kind of hold it, I said. The biggest thing,
just don't let go of it. I don't know if
you've ever looked at like shotgun fails or shotgun meme
(23:31):
failed like those you ever watched any of those? Want
to Well, no, get hurt. Well, people do get hurt,
but it's more like where the gun just like black
and the barrel hits them like between the eyes and
like knocks them down or you know, they look and
they're bleeding or what it splits them open or whatever.
Just because people don't hold onto it, they're thinking it's
not gonna I just kept telling Josie. I'm like, dude,
(23:54):
you death grip this thing right now. I just want
you to. Now that's not gonna be good for competition,
clearly and all of that, but I just said, you've
got to hold on to this thing. That's the biggest thing.
Keep it pointed down range and don't let go of it,
no matter what you know it's like, and it won't
be And she said, this is nowhere near the battle
the thought we're gonna be or whatever. And so it's
(24:14):
kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
First time I shot a traditional shotgun. It was a
double barrel shotgun, and I held onto it fine, but
I did not brace myself for the kick against my
shoulder that was to come. Yes that I was almost
done with shotguns forever.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
At that point. Twelve gage, Yes, Yeah, was it sitting
off a little bit like you didn't have it snug?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Well, that's and I just wasn't prepared for that kind
of that's like against my shoulder, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
You gotta have it snug. So it just kind of
moves you as opposed to like getting punched by it
because you don't want to have it. That's what I
was explaining to her, I'm like, do not just kind
of rested there. I was like, you got to hold
on to it, you know, kind of a thing. But
it was hilarious and good for her. Absolutely. I just
I was like, hold in one. I was. I was
(25:00):
proud Papa definitely during that. And she did. She did really,
really well. So you getting her a shotgun for Christmas? No?
Absolutely not. No, There'll be no shotgun in her room.
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I got this for you, but I'm keeping it in
a safe in the basement, and I'm locking the basement
door and posting a guard. You can never touch it,
never see it, never use it. But it's yours, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I also have to say this too. Have you I'm
sure you've gone into McDonald's or fill in the blank
restaurant fast food restaurant where there's kiosks and they're everywhere. Yeah,
and then there's a register that's up behind the counter
that nobody mans and you have to use the kiosk
(25:50):
and feel your way through ordering. Have you done that?
Or I won't do that? Okay, I won't use a kiosk.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I have to talk to a human being so I
can yell at somebody when there's too many picks or something.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
The taco bell at King's Island. We went into this
taco bell and I kid you not, there are no
registers behind the counter. It's it's there are two kiosks
in front of the counter. And they said, I said,
can I just and they were, no, you have to.
You have to use the kiosk. I kid you not, Chuck.
(26:23):
The first of all, the music was blaring. I mean
they're playing like Miley Cyrus over the house, like the
speakers inside there. When I walked in, I couldn't even
hear myself. I was like, ah, and I'm half deaf.
Think about it. I've been a rock DJ my whole life,
and I was like, oh my gosh. Secondly, we start
trying to figure it out, and these three girls that
(26:44):
were working there were standing right behind the counter like
literally I could have reached out and touched one of them.
Well there's a lawsuit, and they were standing there like
goofing off the whole time. We're trying to figure out
how to order, and I looked up like, go, I'm
trying to look for a chili cheese burrito and they
were like yeah, those aren't on the regular menu. They go,
(27:05):
when you cash out, just hit cash. You're gonna pay cash,
and then we'll have somebody in the drive through ring
it up for you. And I'm not kidding. I was
in shock, so you have to check out twice. It
was unbelievable, man, I've never in my life. They just
looked at us like, you know, this is the norm.
They literally were standing there, goofing off the whole time,
(27:27):
not doing anything. But yet they couldn't take the order.
We had to figure it out on the kiosk.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
See, and I order an item when I do go
to Taco Bell very few times I go now, but
I the chicken chipotlet melt, which is not a menu item,
so you have to They got a massage, so I
guarantee you that's not on a kiosk.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
So there's no point in me going I love those things.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
They're like, oh the item, yeah, but if I if
I'm gonna have to you know, check out twice in
order to buy them. No, you're you've taken the convene's
out of convenience food.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
At that point, I started thinking maybe it's drived through
only from now on. But then some of those are AI,
and and you've got something AI talking back to it
that gets it wrong, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
I'm just like talking to me to take the whole
then to have the fake when you pull up, Welcome.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
To our restaurant. May I take your order? Please? Yeah?
I like to get the number three? Cobo? H Do
you want to pick us on that? What happened to
the other guy? Right? That's a according? Can you put
it back on? Yeah? I hate to sound like that. Oh,
get off my luck, But the thing is, I get
it if you're going, all right, we only have two
(28:42):
people to run the entire store, and they got to
be back there cooking or you know, making the orders.
But when you have three extra people and there are
other people working in the kitchen and they're all just
kind of standing around goofing off, and you're like, hey,
can you take can you put that? And they they're like, no,
you have to do that? On the I was like,
what has happened to these places? Chuck? I'll never get
(29:05):
used to that. Would you like to add a tip? Oh?
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Man?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Holy cal I will say this. The redeeming part of
this is I said we're gonna have probably twenty or
plus items. They actually nailed all of it. It was
all correct. Wow plus. So there it is. I will
give them that Christmas Story. Of course, everybody starts watching it.
Seems like this one of the channels runs it, I believe,
(29:31):
like twenty four to seven for a while, the Christmas
Story Channel. Yeah, I'm just joking. I don't know what
is it? Zach sorry? PBS Oh, TBS okay, TBS. Yeah,
I knew somebody would. It seems like every year just
runs it. You watch have you seen it?
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yes, yes, the Queen is rather obsessed with that movie.
Oh to the.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Point I tried to buy that lamp. There's no way
sheet let it in the house, the leg LAMPO.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
You have younger boys in the house, who uh it's
funny how they the way they portray that back then.
I don't think kids now they wouldn't take a second
look at it because they're like, oh yeah, I see
worse than that on the internet. Yeah. Then it was like, ooh,
that's really racy. Who you got a leg lamp? The
lights up? What was Ralphie like having a like staring
(30:28):
at the leg lamp like before you open it, and.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
He's like fradly.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Well, that must be Italian. I forgot about that. I
haven't seen that in a while. Have you seen the
actual house in Cleveland either, what? I haven't been to
it been up there, Zach No, Yes, no, I have
not seen it, the actual house. It's in Cleveland. Of course.
I think a lot of people know that here. I
suppose there are some ears right now that are like
(30:55):
what it is? You know, maybe you didn't know. But
you can spend the night there and you'll have exclusive
access to the house after museum hours. Hang out on
the living room couch with hot coco, look out the
window where Ralphie dreamed of his baby gun, and then
take photos. Of course, all of that the iconic Christmas tree.
(31:16):
The bedrooms are restored in full nineteen forty style, by
the way, in case you're wondering, it's like, well does
it really look Yes, it will look like the movie
from Twin Beds. The uh shaneil bedspreads pink bunny pajamas
waiting for you to try on. They also say they're
(31:37):
yours to keep.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Oh well, yeah, nobody else wants them. E've been wearing them.
I don't write.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
It's not like they're they're going to have like community
bunny jammys, my hotel robes. Just take it with you.
You can wash it, yeah, you could do. They have ovaltine.
They don't mention that. They don't mention that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
But are those damn dogs still because I got to
use for a bb gun. If they come in my
kitchen for a turkey, I'm.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Gonna shoot someone's eye out and it ain't gonna be mine.
But I don't I can't imagine there's any availability left.
But they're like, you can reserve your stay for this month,
and all I can't. I can't imagine that there's any
kind of And it's not like you're gonna stay there
with other people you don't know, so it's got to
be one family at a time. And I have no
(32:26):
idea what this costs either. I can't imagine that's cheap.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
That's it's I mean, if you've got the whole house
and you can sit on the sofa and all that stuff,
that's probably a grand a night. I would think that's
gonna be you know, it's got the draw of the
movie and then the pink bunny jammies, but picture picture
Ralphie in your head right now, both of you picture Ralphie.
I'm gonna give you two words to tell you who
I think he grew up to be. He got him
in your head? You got the picture in your head.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
The one from the movie? Correct, Yes, Yes, got him
in your head. Zack got him in your head? Yep,
got him fringe Poe.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Oh does he not look like baby Dowine?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I could see that he does. I could see that
with the glasses, And every.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Time I see him, I'm like that, Mike, that's Mike Dwine.
He looks like baby Dowine to me.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Just hanging there, kid, don't shoot your eye out. You're
gonna be governor of Ohio one day. Oh on, second last,
those pink jammies from then still fit him.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
I just the biggest moron in the whole thing. I
always laugh at the kid who's so bundled up he
can't get up off the ground, right.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
But then the moron.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Who put when he put his tongue on the pole,
I'm like, that is so stupid. You know what happened
all over this country, But it's just so How can
any kid, at any point in our history have been
that dumb? How do we move forward with a nation
full of kids that did that, And.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Then you also think it's like, was big medicine behind
that because you think about when that movie comes out,
dramatic has to be an elevated amount of visits to
uh the eoll yeah, or you know the the fire
department runs where they're coming out or they you can
(34:19):
just search it up now, like how do you get
your But I can't imagine. I'll tear the hide right
off your tongue. Yeah, you have no taste buds for
a while. Oh gosh, imagine how much that would hurt.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Terrence were tougher back then, though, you know you do
that put some vict on it.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
No, you need it. I mean to be fair. He
got triple dog there. Yeah, and it was a dog.
What do you what do you back out? No?
Speaker 6 (34:42):
You gotta do it then, Yeah, double dog's bad enough,
but he tripled. He went triple so couldn't back out?
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Were they like, No, it's like I triple dog. They're like, oh, anyway, Yeah,
you can stay at the house and relive it if
you that's your thing. Did you I figured you would
look up like what what it costs nightly to stay?
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
I send it to you guys. Yeah, but I'm not
I can't look at that. While it's that.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
They have a suite, you could stay in the upstairs suite. Yes,
that room is two forty five a night. But if
you take the whole house.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Oh, so you can share the house with other people,
like other strangers that're like it. But I'm not sure.
I don't want to say yes because you're not closed off.
It's not like you're in a hotel where you have
a separate door you can lock when you go to
sleep from the room next to you. I just leave
it open. Yeah, forget that, open it up, share bed whatever.
(35:47):
How do you feel about a two thousand dollars stimulus check?
I feel fine? Where do I sign? Okay, so you're
good with that. There are plenty of people who are
like no, because it's coming from the government. The government
should use that money to pay debt, not send it
to me. So you're one of those people that no,
I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Yeah, you know what, nobility. I just had this conversation
a few hours ago too. Because I'm a firm believer.
If you got like a net worth of ten million dollars,
if if that was me, my social Security check would
be designated to a charity.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
I don't need it. They're not gonna give it to
you to start with, because they said no, they said
high incomes, accept those with high end No.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
I mean social security. Oh I'm just saying if I
had a ten million dollar net worth, I wouldn't accept
Social Security I designated to a charity or something.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
But I thought you misspoke there. I thought you were. Yeah.
If you if you turn this down, where's that money
gonna go? Yeah you can't. I mean it would just
automatically go into your I mean they use if this
is anything like during COVID, they just use your SoC Yeah,
and it just pops into your account, just like how
(36:59):
you file tax. So if the money shows up and
you're one of those people that's like, uh uh, well
didn't donate it to somebody, write it all. Wake up,
check my balanty. It's a beautiful die in the diaperhood.
As soon as it pops in there, I'm having dinner. Yeah,
I was on true social Trump said the payments would
all go to Americans, or go to all Americans except
those with high incomes. No details on how the funds
(37:23):
would be distributed or when the plan would take effect.
We're taking in trillions of dollars as soon begin paying
down our enormous debt. Trump wrote also a dividend of
at least two thousand dollars a person, not including high
income people, will be paid to everyone.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
And he wants to use part I understand too, to
bonus those air traffic controllers who continued to show up
to work bonus in ten thousand dollars for making it happen.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Is that what he was saying. I just saw that
a little while ago. Yeah, so God bless him. And
they said a lot of those people, not only are
they not showing up, they're actually retiring to the tune
of fifteen to twenty. They were talking about basically a
month or a week. What the timeframe escapes me, but
they mentioned about fifteen to twenty, and I was like,
(38:06):
are you serious. We have that many people that are
eligible to retire and they're and they're doing it right now.
They're actually retiring right now because they're like, all right,
I'm done with this. Yeah, well the government show I don't.
You can't really blame them. I mean, think about it, Chuck,
we need you to come to work and do this.
Every day, and yeah, you're gonna get paid at some point,
but not right now. If I'm old enough to retire. Honestly,
(38:30):
I don't know if I want the stress of having
hundreds of people in the air that are my responsibility
every day. Yeah, I don't think I'd be sticking around
any longer than I had to invested got my pension.
Say yea, I didn't realize how like the inner workings,
and I think they somewhat expose and look correct me
if I'm wrong on this, if you're an air traffic
(38:50):
controller or you worked in that business or had a
family a member that worked in it. But pushing ten
Tin Pushing ten, which is John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton's
and Angelina Jolie. Did you see that the movie where
they're air traffic controllers.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
I feel like I have watched it, but I don't
know that I paid particular attention to. It's one of
those things that might have been on and I was
doing something else.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
It's really good. Don't agree with anybody's political stances there
that are in the movie, but that is I don't
know how realistic that is, but it looks like and
you see they have a high rate of suicide and
all of these different things. So now throw in addition
to everything else, they get pretty good money I think
(39:36):
starting out. Then you throw into a into account, it's
like you're not getting paid right now too, and they're
already stressed out of their minds, probably on you know, well,
I'm just I don't want to speculate what they're on
as far as meds and all that stuff. But the
thing of it is.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Is I understand some of them not being able to
cut I mean, especially if you're in an expensive place. Look,
I got no money to pay the daycare or the childcare,
whatever I do with my kids. I the gas is
still expensive for me. I I can't do it. I understand.
I don't actually have a problem with that. If you're
(40:15):
not getting a paycheck in this paycheck to paycheck country,
you got to make decisions.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
So if driving for Uber and making a few bucks
is what's going to uh to you know, feed the
kids and pay the bills, do what you gotta do.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
I will say the Doge dividends that never showed up.
I I it wasn't my favorite thing that they started
even talking about that, and that just mysteriously disappeared, went
into that one trillion dollar pay package.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
Well you remember that, I'm talking do I'm talking about
Elon's newest contract. Oh yeah, you missed that while you
were gone. Yeah, yeah, Tesla will be They've agreed to
a one trillion dollar pay package for what for Elon?
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Oh for CEO from the government corporation from the government.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
No, oh no, Tesla Corp. Has guaranteed or agreed to
a one trillion dollar payment to Elon as CEO.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Oh so he'll be the first ever, he'll be the
first trillionaire. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Yeah, but they you know, stock is up seventeen since
he took the reins.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
So arguably is he owed that. I mean, look what
he's done with this company. Okay, I didn't know where
you come down on it, because I don't have any
problem with that's that's that's private. That's a private company at.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
All you can get Yeah, if they're willing to pay
it and you want it, sign here.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Yeah I didn't. I Again, with the Doge dividends, I
the fact that they brought all of that up and
then it just kind of went away. So as far
as this two thousand dollars stimulus check. I'll tell you
if this is not something that he should have thrown
out there, if it's not really going to happen, there
are a lot of people that will hold this against
(42:00):
him and against other Republicans come midterm time if they
keep throwing this stuff up there and then nothing happens
from it. I can totally see where some people would
be like, hey, stop flapping your gums if you're not
serious about it, because you're given, you're telling some Americans,
some people who are really really down on their luck
(42:20):
that need this money, really need it, and don't do
that if you're not completely serious about it. Don't just
throw it up there and then be like, oh, well, yeah,
that didn't materialize.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
It And I said it out loud in print under
his own account on his social media platform. There's no
saying that this was a misunderstanding, which.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Tells me, if all of that's happening, it should be happening.
But we read about the dose stuff. I don't know
did he actually come out did he specifically say that,
you know, I don't remember him actually saying it, like
actually uttering the word. Yeah. So we'll see if the
(42:59):
two thousand dollars a stimulus. But I'm going to see
where this goes. This is pretty interesting. So I ran
out to get coffee right before the show and I'm
walking across the parking lot and Marshall, the wind was
cutting me in half. I was like, oh, man, the
wind chill. And You're like, well, I'll stay tuned because
(43:21):
just you wait, but are we going to be in
the sink? We're not going to be in the single
digits for wind chills overnight, No, but teens teams, which yeah,
for all intents and yeah, back in my teens again,
that's nice. Were you I really just run into I
(43:42):
was like, no, I'm not ready for this. I will
say more coffee. Yeah, well I was doing that too,
but I will say this. I'll throw this in and
I also get a plug in for one of our advertisers.
But you know, with a wake in one eighty and
you know, losing the weight that I've lost that is
not helping with regard to the wind chill and the
(44:03):
wind I did. I lost some insulation.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Man.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
My wife's like, I've never seen you complain to be
so cold over the weekend, Like we're staying in a
hotel room and I'm like it is freezing in here.
I can't get warm. But like she's like, I have
never seen you do this. I'm like, well, you know,
I have lost some weight.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
And there's such an amateur at the blatant plug game.
You really are, What do you mean? Because I look
with awake in one eighty, I feel the cold a
whole lot more than I used to feel the cold
when there was more of me. But thanks to my
Vanskoy hair, I don't Shill.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
Had to work in one of his he had to
work in. Yeah, so he's feeling less. He has more
since he has the hair on top of his head.
Now he's holding in the heat. Heaps the heat in
your body. Yes, yeah, not only do I roll gold Darling,
I feel God throwback Billy Crystal would be proud. Yeah.
(45:02):
So anyway, that's unfortunately where so I'm like, uh, I
need to buy a second coat to put over the
first coat that I'm gonna wear this year. So I
have two coats on now one.
Speaker 5 (45:11):
I mean, layers are a really good idea tomorrow morning,
because especially if you have to stand out at the
bus stop for any length of time, it is gonna
be cold out there. It's gonna be windy, and so
you're gonna definitely feel that chill. Winds are gonna be
ten to twenty miles an hour overnight tonight, gusting twenty
five to thirty and that's what's pushing those wind chills
(45:32):
down into the teens. Could get a couple of snow
showers here and there. They'll be random, but if one
rolls through your neighborhood, it could create some slick spots.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
So be mindful again. Tomorrow morning. Tuesday afternoon, it's cold.
Speaker 5 (45:44):
It's wendy thirty eight for the high and then Wednesday
we're in the fifties, so we're gonna melt.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
It all off.
Speaker 5 (45:52):
It'll still be kind of windy with a mix of
sun and clouds.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
All right, thanks Marshall. Twenty nine right now. And if
you work for Target, you're supposed to smile more. According
to it. Yeah, they put a memo out telling employees
you have to smile more. They're mandating employees smile more
on the job. You have to smile more. And they
say that smile and make eye contact with any customer
(46:16):
that comes within ten feet. That literally is what it
reads right here. They also have to ask if they
need help or make small talk if they get within
four feet.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
Well, you know, here's what's said. That used to just
be the way things were. You didn't need a corporate
directive to tell you this. Right where my mind went
as I was reading this.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
The new rules are aimed at improving the customer experience
after declining sales thanks to a boycott of retailer over
DEI measures do you say in a situation like this,
do you go Nope, too late you guys, you made
your bed, now lie in it? Or can they be redeemable?
Speaker 2 (46:57):
I don't you know everybody can be reading deemed. I
I'm just I'm a middle ground kind of guy. I
do not like to be ignored. I hate to go
someplace and there's nobody even around to ask a question.
But there's also gotta I don't I don't want to
go in and you know, like walking into Sun TV
and get assaulted like a swat team coming at you
(47:18):
as soon as you walk in the door.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
Right side, Yeah, don't you just go on microwave of
and I bought it that's on TV, so.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
Yeah, they I mean, they would just accost you as
soon as you walked in the door.
Speaker 1 (47:36):
You're going to have questions. Do you have these in stock?
Right now? Is this time of year?
Speaker 2 (47:41):
I don't want to find something to go this is perfect,
only to find that, oh, that's a floor model.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
We don't have any in stock.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Little questions like that can save me a lot of
time and keep me from being frustrated. And having somebody
who works there to answer those questions would be a
wonderful thing.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
I can hear management now if Chuck worked there. Chuck,
we were watching you today and we noticed that you
didn't make small talk with that person. And I could
hear you going they were five feet away easily, and
you said four feet, so they were really out of
my range. Plus I didn't like the way they look.
He was ugly. They're planning to also remodel in upgrade
(48:20):
stores to Walmart and Disney have had smile rules in
place for years. They go on to say, at the
end of this, but there it is if you go
into Target and you notice a friendlier staff and they
just know that it's working at that particular Target. If
you walk in there and you start going, well, I
didn't really see this before, but you're right, it's like,
(48:41):
what what's unfortunately most of the generation. And I'm after
my kids all the time. Josie not so much. She's
she's very friendly and very she'll matter of fact, she'll
talk your ear off. But Stone is very kind of
and I'm always like working with him. Hey, make eye contact,
you know, I'm constantly on him. Talk talk talk, talk
(49:02):
talk talk. You need to make people feel easy around you.
Don't just peer at people. Yeah, through that hair that's
going down in front of your eyes.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
I miss true department stores for just that reason. You know,
when you walk into a Lazarus or Macy's or even Jacobson's.
Remember we had Jacobson for about fifteen minutes in Columbus, Sure,
and there would be people there kind of European in
a way. There'd almost be like the floor walker situation
and designated salespeople who would be called over if you
(49:32):
needed something. I understand that's old fashioned, but it made
shopping a pleasure for people, and it made Frankly, I
think it made the customer feel good. Wow, I walked
in here and these people catered to me.
Speaker 1 (49:45):
Guess what happens when that they do that? They come back. Well,
not only do they come back, they probably pick up
an extra item or two. Oh yeah, because they feel
comfortable in there, so they're going to continue walking around.
What else can I find instead of let me get
the hell out of here. These people are crazy and
here look at the way they're looking at me this place.
Oh my gosh, look at these people. This is awful.
(50:06):
Why are they staring. They're just peering at me like
I'm making them uncomfortable, Like they want me to leave
because I have to. I gotta work. If you're here,
I mean, think about that for a second. If you
own the place and the people that are working there
make you feel great about it, why wouldn't you. You
might buy a few more things there, your bottom line
goes up. It is so simple to me, that kind
(50:29):
of logic. It's like it makes so much sense, yet
it is so absent.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
Catering to people brings them back to you. They spend
more money with you. You are their choice with it. I mean,
you could go to Macy's when they were still kicking
hard and being full scale department store. And I had
a listener to when I did music, had a late
night show, and one of my listeners she actually worked
at Macy's in the women's department, and her specialty was brals,
(50:57):
fitting women with brals because when and you know, have
a tendency one is bigger than the other or whatever.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
Yeah, that was your side hustle. You started working the mine.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
Yeah I wish no this, but that was her job
and she had been doing it for like fifteen years
as a brazier or undergarment specialist.
Speaker 1 (51:16):
She have business card with that and no.
Speaker 2 (51:18):
No, but that was her and stuff like or you know,
you just bought a suit recently, think about how you
felt in there with people catering to you and getting
the measurements just right and tailoring that suit and pressing
that shirt before you even walked out. That kind of
served even goober at the gas station. So I don't
have to smell like regular unleaded when I go to
my meeting. Those things I miss, I really do.
Speaker 1 (51:43):
I don't even know of a gas station where they
come out and it's fuel served, not self served. I
don't know. Swifty was the last lift and they're going now.
I don't know of anybody else that does it. Not
one person, yeah, not one, not one person, but one.
Speaker 2 (51:59):
That's a small sure, because that gas comes off of
the handle onto your hand, and you're you know, you're
on your way to a meeting to meet a client
or whatever, trying to get them to hail sponsor the
radio show, and you got to show up with the
smell of gasoline on your hand because you had to
stop for gas. It's just little things mean a lot.
And when you make my world better, I have a
(52:20):
tendency to make my world better too.
Speaker 1 (52:22):
I'm reaching into my wallet if you help my world
be better. I mean, seriously, it is so simple. It's
elementary to me.
Speaker 2 (52:29):
I pay another twenty cents of gallons, quarter a gallon
or whatever if you're gonna come out and pump the
gas for me.
Speaker 1 (52:34):
Especially if it's sideways snow or sideways rain.
Speaker 2 (52:37):
Yes, are you kidding me? There might even be a
tip involved. Well yeah, if the weather's really crappy, they's
totally decent.
Speaker 1 (52:43):
Yeah, I mean, how is it any different than somebody
who shows up at your house with the food, pizza,
or you know, Huber or any of those. I guess

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
