Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Mark Blazer Show.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Man, this is crazy. What is happening in California right now?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
First of all, thank you welcome in Mark Blazer, Chuck
Douglas station Akin from ABC six, Fox twenty eight, and
my friend and as you know, friend of the show
on all the time, Alex Stone ABC News out of
Los Angeles. I sent him a text. He has not replied.
I'm a little worried. This is Petrolea. I don't even
(00:41):
know how to pronounce that. But it's forty miles west
northwest of Petrolia, California. Seven point zero magnitude earthquake happened
there not too long ago. Tsunami warning now has been
all canceled. Okay, good, I'm just reading this now on
Fox News. I'm watching this. But I sent Alex in
no and said, hey, man, is everything okay? Because what
(01:03):
they do is a little bit of inside baseball. But
we we get offered the different people reporting on different
stuff on a national level, and that sent to us daily.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Alex is one of those people.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
And earlier I got a note from the producer there
out of New York who said Alex is being pulled
to cover the earthquake.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
And I was like, what what earthquakes?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
So then I looked up on that. I'm like, oh
my gosh.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
So I sent him a text and said, hey, man,
are you and he has not replied yet.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
So seven point zero that's pretty big.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Right, And it's pretty big?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Okay, that's yeah. I don't I don't, but since it was.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Off the coast, I'm not sure what that. When we
have off the coast, we've got ocean between the epicenter
and land mass. How much they feel or how much.
I haven't seen anything that indicates damage because we've been
focused on the tsunami warning since that happened. But we're
(02:00):
not seeing anything as we're watching this.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, I don't see anything.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Just so, if there was a tsunami warning in the
first place, even though it's canceled now, this would have
had to be some kind of shelfed shift in the ocean.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Not in the Pacific area.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yeah, not on land, which I mean if you're in California.
Thank God for that. Ever since I was a kid,
we've been waiting for that whole San Andreas Fault thing
to happen. And I imagine every time the ground even
trembles out there, people take a deep breath and wonder
if that's it.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Well, no, And the answer is no if you're Alex Stone.
Because I've had him on and talked about it many
times on the air and said, dude, I saw that.
He goes, yeah, yeah, we had something earlier today. It's
not a big deal. Yeah, some stuff fell off the show.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I was like, yeah, but is that like the Florida
people it's one hundred and eighty four degrees, Like, yeah,
it's not too bad down here, and it gets worse
in the summer. You know, maybe you're just so accustomed.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
To well, I don't know kind of you know, that
was his answer.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't know if it was you know, if he's embellishing,
if he's but I'm telling you it.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
It came off real to me.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Like I wasn't like this guy's full of it, he's
scared out of his mind. It did not come off
that way. And like I said, I speak to him
off the air too, like we're friendly, and I even said, man,
is everything okay?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Or you know He's like, yeah, we have these you know.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Every that happened, and I think the one day it
was like a three point he goes, man, it was
only a three point and I'm like what, and I said,
so I brought it up because we had a small
one in Los Cabos when we were in Mexico.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Oh wow, yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
It was literally on Sunday morning when we were there,
and I jumped up out of the bed because I
was like, it was early and we were kind of
in and out of consciousness, you know, me and Jenny,
and I felt it and I was like, no, did
you feel it?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And She's like what, And I'm like, I just felt something.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
And I jumped on and started looking at news and
there was a small one that happened in Cabo San Lucas.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Oh my goodness, Like it was, I felt it.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
It shook the building, but it wasn't very much.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
I think there was something to it, that that reaction
that you have because you are not used to it.
You know, get that a lot here in Ohio that
I remember living in Oklahoma being from there, and you go,
you grow up in the schools doing the tornado drills
and all that stuff, and you kind of you know
the rules. I know, duck downstairs underneath something set are
part of the house, keep away from windows, like I
(04:21):
know the rules boom, boom boom. And we had a
family move in. They they were stationed at Fort Hill
and they moved in next door to us. My husband
and I and the storm comes through. Hobby and I
are sitting on the front porch watching the trees, you know,
go perpendicular, and now suddenly and then the family runs out.
When the storm comes through. You're like, oh, my gosh,
was that a tornado? And we're like, no, that's probably
(04:45):
just some straight line winds. And you know, for us,
it was just no thing. But they had moved there
from New Jersey, so that was like their first storm
that they were experiencing. No, that was not a tornado.
That was just a little wind.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Welcome to Oklahoma, Ohio in my lifetime and I haven't
filled either one, which.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
It was one of a couple of weeks ago, not
near here. The EP center was cent here. I feel
it was down south, but you have them occasionally here
to get here, little little, just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
The one in Mexico, I believe, I said Cabo San Lucas,
but I think it was because that's the Baja Peninsula
where we were. We were west of the Sea Cortez,
so we weren't you go east and that's where I
call it the mainland Mexico, you know, but we were
we were west of that, and it's the Baja Peninsula,
which I called I kept calling it like California extreme
(05:37):
southern California, but clearly it's Mexico. But it's all it
is is an extension that goes all the way down,
uh further you know, south or whatever, and Cabo San
Lucas as far south as you can go before you
dump into the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez there.
But that's why it originated somewhere, and I thought, you know,
this is very possible because the stuff happens in California constantly,
(05:58):
and it could be like all the way just come
all the.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Way down, you know south. So yeah, it was. It
was crazy.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
But he's just like, eh, he'll probably yeah. He still
hasn't text me back yet.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
But hopefully.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Yeah, he's in a coverwork, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Tell me about Well, first of all, man, this morning
and the wind chill, that was no joke, right, I
mean tearing.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
You in half when you stepped outside.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
See, it's gross out there right now. And that's not
nearly as bad as it was this morning, and everywhere
you go since has this stuff, like all the crystals
out on the parking lot, so nobody would slip or anything,
just being prepared for anything. And it is brutal out
there now. So this morning now it feels we're almost
tropical now.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
It was still off it's to school yesterday morning and
this morning the scene reading on the kar from out
or twenty one degrees. The wind made the difference. Yes,
he actually put the nit hat on. I look like
a belonged in Chicago pead or something. It was. It
was weird having to bundle up for the same temperature
just because of that. Bit'll win.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
We Yet it's still out there. That wind is really
cutting through.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Yeah. Plus I'm asking de Wine to declare my yard
a disaster area. You should see the patio furniture. That
stuff's all over the place from last night.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Wo yeah I I you know, when I was taking stones,
like do I really need to because he was going
to start putting on layers and I drove him to school.
He is like an ankle thing right now too, So
I was like, dude, you don't have to hobble down
to the bus stop and then stand in the you know, frigid.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It's like, I'll just drive you. I've been driving him this.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Week and he's like, do I need to put And
I was like, no, you're gonna get out of the
car and go into the building. You guys aren't going
out to They still have recess even though he's in fifth.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Yeah, okay, fifth grade, he's still in the elementary school.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Right right. I was like, recess what like? And I go,
are you guys going out? He goes, No, they're not
letting us out because it's too cold.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
They haven't let him out this whole week because of
how cold is Johnny's school.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
They have a temperature that they set and they if
it gets to that point, then we stay inside and
have some fun. No recess side.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Yeah, yeah, I love the difference in our lives. I'm
laughing internally here because you started that story with Stone's
got a he's got an ankle thing. Now, see, in
your nice suburban world, that means an injury of some sort.
My side of town, that means he's wearing a monitor
to the police know where he is. That's a complete
same statement, completely meaning.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Good good lord. He hasn't gotten to that point yet.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I hope never ever ever let him hang around my
group for Oh lord, no, learn.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
You learn today's word probation.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Uh say it with me, kids, right?
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Hey, Ed, welcome to the show. So you were in
an earthquake that you survived.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
Yeah, it was here at Columbus.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Oh wow, when was that?
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Oh it was back in the eighties. It was like
a three point six or something like that. I'm sitting
on the toilet and all the glass started rattling in
the room.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
No good story, story then access to it.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
So I gotta stop eating taco bell man, I'm rattling
glass now, good lord, sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Ed.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
It was it rattled everything.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
I was still living at home at that point in time.
And mom hollered. She was laying down in her bed.
She hollered, ed, what are you doing. I'm froze on
the tht I ain't doing nothing.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
She thought you were messing around.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
That's hilarious, Ed.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I'm so glad you survived, you know, And good thing
you were sitting where you were when it happened, because
there are probably a lot of people that had to
have changed their drawers that day.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I've been.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Man, that's a great story.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Ed, thanks man, Yeah, if that happened at our house,
and I was I'm not kidding Jenny in the other
room and be.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Like, Mark, what are you doing in there? She'd be
yelling at me. I didn't shake the house? What's wrong
with you?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
So so sorry about that? So sorry that.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Kind of level of an earthquake that you're not quite
sure what just happened. Yeah, And so like when you
just experienced the one in Cabo, you were kind of like,
what was that?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
And Jenny's like what, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
There is that moment where you're not quite sure and
then you're questioning everything that you think just happened. And
Jenny's like, well, why didn't I feel that? What's you know?
What's going on? That's I was.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I was gonna ahead of time.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I told her, like when we were flying back, where
we get on the plane and we're coming back and
we're flying it. We go through Dallas Fort Worth and
then into Column But we get on the plane and
I told her, I go, you know, when I tell
this story on the air, I said, I'm gonna tell
it like you and I were having some fun time,
and that happened while we were having the fun time.
And you were the one that went did you feel that?
(10:42):
And I was like, what are you talking about? Baby?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
And she's like that, did you feel the bed? You're
darn right I did. It's my fault. Like she's like,
she's like looking at me, like, are you really going
to do that?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Carol King cued up in there, Zachar move.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
My feet.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Anyway, sick minds thing like, I'm glad my in laws
don't listen to this radio for bless.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
At least I don't think they do occasionally my father.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
In law d Yeah, they're Democrats. They don't really listen
because they don't want to hear their son in law
speak the truth and you know, all kinds of make
all kinds of sense and stuff. Anyway, man, So it
made me think because the snowplows they really weren't out today, right,
I mean, but but we're on the cusps. We're on
the cusp, right. I just the reason I bring that
(11:36):
up this is so funny. Uh, there's cities that you know,
they this one city, Redmond, Washington, State of Washington, got
new snowplows and they named them, which I thought were
I thought these names were really kind of funny.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
That's pretty common. Actually when you get where did they
come up with?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Well, I thought these were pretty funny. There's one called
control Salt Delete.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
That's a.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Then they have one called scoop Dog.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Okay, scoop Dog like that, which I was like, man,
these are really good, Like who came up with.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
I'm just not that clever.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Controls scoop Dog. Then there was.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Snow Begone Kenobi, which is the which is the Obi
Wan Kenobi the Star Wars nod there. Then there's the
big le Plowski the Plowski.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Okay, because I've heard some names. Every time I hear
the names that they come up with. Sometimes they'll come
up with options and you get to vote on which
name you want to pick. These are all amazing.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Those are so good, right, I thought these were great.
And then there was the final one was Betty White Out,
which is tribute to Betty White.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
There's some Department of Transportation out there there. There's some
some d O T s that they really got.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Some clever folks at Brudings listening right now, going that's
an idea.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yeah, we've done that. I think we have, but that
those are really good.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I when I saw them, I was literally Eloeling.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I was laughing out loud when I was reading this earlier,
and I go, oh, I got to bring these up
because tis the season.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
You know, we've got these snowplow.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
How many times do we hear Brooding or any of
his people and they go, please stay back because they
you can if you search it up. Holy cow, you
can see some disaster of traffic accidents because people don't
stay back, or they start to go around because they're
going slow, or they they don't stay back far enough
and then they complain about the salt all over their vehicle,
(13:41):
or they're getting pummeled with It's just like, look, these
these people are out there trying to help us. It's like,
you've got to stay back, man, you just do. But
this is where we're getting into this area. And clearly
today it wasn't enough to really plow anything. But there
were some closings up norths I think so.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
In South Scinnati they closed all their schools.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Schools, yeah, I didn't see that, just.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
For the windshill. We found out about that last night. Yeah,
they in advance they decided they were going to close school.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
It'd be nice. We had some uniform school closing rules
just because I mean, you know, Columbus, when do they
close if the tornado is like next to the school,
they may go, okay, we're going to dismiss early today.
They don't. They don't like closing for anything Cincinnati because
of windshill. I don't the night.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Night before they decided to do it.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
That's even that's even more not concerning, but kind of shocking.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Well, we were we were standing there wondering what does
this mean for our local districts. Obviously this is Cincinnati,
but the forecast wasn't that different from there to here,
so we were curious if that might indicate anything here.
It didn't appear to you know, generally everybody went to
school today bundling up. But yeah, Cincinnati decided to do
(14:56):
something different today.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I do know that when the air temperature is gets
into depending on where they will, I know that happens
a lot around here.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Then you know, you get around five.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Degrees yeah, when it gets really really cool.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
And then the wind chills get into the minus the
minus ten, well they'll do I've you know, I've the
experienced that here. I'm sure we all have or whatever,
but that it just didn't generate that kind of you know,
because they also knew the fact that we were nineteen
or whatever it was this morning. And then I saw
all the different wind chills. It was you know, three five,
(15:30):
four two roos, you know, and wind chill is obviously
a little different, but it still affects.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Humans the same way.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Sure does, which is you know it might as well.
But when you have the air temperature at two and
then the wind blows, now you're talking minus ten, you
know that kind of that's when the kid they have
to stand at the bus stop and they don't want
they don't want that.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
No, which I understand.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
It really is dangerous.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
It is, especially for the really little kids.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
It seems like it's extra tough on them.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Or what have you.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Whether the marker sixteen.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Dreams can see her wave into that glove, help.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
And think of that.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
And then when they're like skipping down the sidewalk.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, at the very beginning, Yeah, remember this was released.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It was a hitch. I it was the theme song
that it was a hitch.
Speaker 9 (16:25):
Really.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I love when they would they would set it up
and then it would be like bam, the door come up, Hello,
like Lenny and Squid and they would be the punchline.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
It was just like so well written. It's like, man,
I love that kind of humor. It's perfect for me.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
The big Carmine Richards, Yeah, iver did was Lavernon Shirley
Good but that went that went to like top it
was top twenty. And then the same lines of Angie
out of Pascal that went in the top ten. Remember
that one. Nice Roberts played the really, dude, you need
to watch more TV.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Really I heard the opposite from.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
My occupied look at the screen, don't break stuff?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Hey, look who it is?
Speaker 9 (17:14):
Much there was there was greatest American hero that went
really high. There was the theme from Cheers that did
even Saint Elmo Elmo elsewhere.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Yes, elsewhere. Listen to the full theme from Cheers.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
No I've never heard don't do it?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Better know, Zach, I mean so much better? Stop it.
The next it's like a bat signal. He like throws
it out and just like, let me mention this.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I mean the next line before, of course goes you
roll out of bed. Mister coffee's dead, the morning's looking bright,
and your shrink ran off to Europe and didn't even write, And.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Your husband wants to be a girl.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
It's the song's great, it really is.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I have not heard those lyrics before.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
I've got the forty five at home. I'll record it.
Incent its Hey.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I also wanted to throw this in because we have,
you know, one person who really loves pickles and one
person who does not love. But here's what I wanted
to Here's why I wanted to throw this in. There
is a shopper that claims to find a frog in
a jar of are you ready plastic pickles?
Speaker 5 (18:24):
O blessed?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Did you guys see this?
Speaker 3 (18:27):
No, it was a Walmart shopper and look, I'm just
reading the story. They were shocked after allegedly discovering a frog.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
That poor frog man.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Awful, all right, oh.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Shopper, they went, hey, look a bonus. I'm just saying,
we got to have frog legs with their pickles to.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Not that's disgusting proof like pictures or it didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Well, they posted a video of the jar. This is
once again on TikTok.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Okay, America's source for news.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
If there's a frog and a pickle jar, I want
to see it.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Well there is, she zooms in on.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
It beeds to be a frog's leg, a body floating
among the pickles.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
This was not alive.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
No, it wouldn't be alive.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, gross, by the time you would see that, if
it was on a shelf, there's no way.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
It could be alive.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Well that brine too would.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Just I don't know all of it.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
They don't breathe, and pickles they don't. They don't breathe
under what they have to come up right for d
for air?
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Yeah, Frogs they don't air in the jar, right, I
don't know. I don't buy pickles, man, what the heck? Yeah,
here's another reason why you could have stumped station with
that one.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I could have That actually was one of the headlines,
but I thought the story was better to talk to
you and Marshall about.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Then, marsh there's no pickles in the forecast right yet? Yeah, yes,
they could fall from the sky at any moment.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
They'd be frozen at this point.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It is so cold.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Outsize.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
We had sixty mile per hour wind gus in Columbus
last night, Yes we did.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Oh wow, you could really hear it, you could really.
Speaker 9 (20:17):
Your airport reported a sixty mile per hour wind gus.
Other places fifty five miles per hour, So Yeah, it
was really super windy last night and we had station
what did we have?
Speaker 4 (20:28):
What? Where? It took me?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Just where did that happen here?
Speaker 9 (20:35):
So some of it actually mostly northwest of Columbus, most
of it in northwestern Ohio, but we had some get
all the way down into like Kenton and Ada and
Hardin County and some of that over into Wyandotte County.
So basically it's the same setup as a thunderstorm. It
just happens when it's cold, so you end up with
the lightning and thunder just like you would during a
regular thunderstorm, but what's falling is snow, so you get
(20:56):
thunder snow and it's.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
It was really fun. And when Marshall realized that the
thunder snow had hit the radar, because I mean, he
was giddy.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
It was so fun.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
It was really fun.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
I love it. Does they have like a radar signature
that's discernibly funny? Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Yes, we got it, baby, wait, Cantory, we got it.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I was like, who is that, Marshall was?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
That's great? Twelve thirty last night, I heard the wind
start up and my neighbor to the west is now
my neighbor to the east that's it. It came wrong
on my street.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Who Yeah, house landed on him.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
It was amazing anyway, only things sticking out were the heels.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Right, So yeah, the thunder snow.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Basically what we were looking at were lightning signatures on radar.
So the same way we do in the summer, you
can see where the lightning strikes are. Those show up
this time of the year too, and so that's how
you knew there was thunder snow happening, even though we
were way too far away to hear it, but you
would have heard it locally. Interestingly enough, you don't hear
it very far because the snow attenuates the sound.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
So it muffles it.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 9 (22:08):
So that's also why you have to be really close
to where it's happening to really experience the whole concept
to thunder snow.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
You know, I just thought of something, Marshall on a
serious note, that explains why you know, when you're outside
and it's snowing and it looks like a snow globe
and you already have snow on the ground and it's
kind of fresh, and you're out there, you go, man,
it's so quiet out here.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
That explains it.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Man, that is so cool how that it really does
act as insulation.
Speaker 9 (22:35):
It's like, yeah, and if the snow is coming down
at the time, especially if it's heavy, it'll also attenuate
that sound and keep it from traveling quite as far.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
So yeah.
Speaker 9 (22:45):
So it was thunder snow last night here in parts
of central Ohio nineteen overnight. Tonight the windshills are going
to be really cold again tomorrow morning. We were in
the single digits this morning. We only got into double
digits a little after noon today. Then on Friday, partly cloudy,
thirty two. Toys for Tots on Saturday, come on down
and see us. It'll be a relatively nice day, partly
(23:05):
cloudy in thirty eight. Sunday it's gonna be dry for
most of the day, fifty and rain Sunday night.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
All right, very good, marshall, thank you. It is twenty
five right now.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
I'm glad that today's forecast was not for Toys for
Tots on Saturday. Right, I send up for the early shift,
right eight to ten.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Oh, you're going early.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
You're gone real early because Johnny has a basketball game,
so we're gonna go early. And I think he's gonna
come with me. He says, he wants to come with
mom and help out with toys for tots and he's six. Now,
I think he's full enough to help. And I think
it'll be really fun and very nice. So this morning's
forecast would not have been as easy to bring him. No,
(23:47):
that we'll be lucky.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You would have had to just mind.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
You would have had to, you know, kind of look
after him though it would have been counterproductive.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, but this, Yeah, that's doable. I think it'll be
fun and you don't have a precipitation or anything. It'll
be chilly, but it's not crazy.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
He even wanted to come to work with mom. He's
so confused about what it is I do. And now
I'm going to confuse him even more because he'll come
to work with me. Santa will be there, people are
bringing toys, and he's kind of like, what is exactly
that you do? You know, because it's not very clear
to him at this point.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Oh, when he sees it all, he'll put it together.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
He's like, yeah, Mom should put it together for something
package that runs while you were at home, and he's
like looking at the street, looking at you.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
A couple of times, but it doesn't register to him
because this age group, everybody can be on TV from
your phone and you just air, you know, you just
put it right up on the screen, No big deal.
But he was at his friend Max's house and they
had the news on there like, hey, look, Johnny, it's
your mom, and somehow that registered to him when he
was at somebody else's house and saw me on TV
and they're just kind of like, what is it?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Here we go because we are I don't want to
get to where we don't have enough time.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Okay, station.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
I just love the thought of you recording that.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I'm stupid sitting by yourself and.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
You go stump station.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
And then I was using all the effects, going what
was this one sound?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Like?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Let me see you that? Oh that's kind of.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
Interesting, it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
And then I was like messing with it and I'm like,
what is that? There isn't even an effect. It says
there's one there, but I don't hear anything.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Yeah, it makes me so happy.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
That third high pitched one is what he sounds like
without all the station processing on.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
It's yeah, amazing.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Right where were we?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
What are we doing? What are we doing? Stations?
Speaker 5 (25:37):
I think llo shout out to by the way, the
Ohio State Highway Patrol and Franklin County Sheriff's Department and
clubs police who were out there at the Rock City
Shoe give yesterday at West Broad I know they listen,
and they were. They were giving me a thumbs up
for a win with Stump station.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
That all right, that's good.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
I hope I can get.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
And she's also, did you are you getting out of
some tickets by shouting out to.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Some maybe proactively?
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Whatever it takes officially right now, Yeah, whatever it takes.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Whatever it takes. We have three headlines.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
I don't speed. Why are you saying that?
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Well, no, no, you do not would not be me.
We have three headlines today. Choose the fake headline, the
fake news fake news, two will be real, one will
be fake.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Here we go. Here's the first headline.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Man rescued after three days in a well as villagers
mistake his cries for ghostly sounds.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Oh my goodness, this awful. It's like a nightmare. Man
rescued from well.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Yeah, after three days in a well as villagers mistake
his cries for ghostly sounds.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Oh my goodness, that's sound. Sad.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
It is sad.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Remember you're choosing the fake news today, all right, Chuck
D Talker, Which you got?
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Pepper Pong not pepper pig. Pepper Pong takes over pickle ball.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Trend pepper Pong takes over pickle ball. I'm new to pickleball.
I played for the first time this year.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
That's fun.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Well that go I was really good.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Were you she found a frog in it?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
You need to you.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Gotta try, uh try your luck with one. Don Ross
Ross Ravisor. He's a pickleball fanatic. Really, he plays I
think multiple times a week.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
He's listening.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Now he's somewhere a little bit warmer for a couple
of days, right, but he's listening. He said he was streaming.
He sent me a note. But I was like, oh uh,
I haven't fun.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
It's I don't play tennis. I had to learn from
the beginning all the rules and stuff like that, and
I was really into it. I'm also very competitive.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Just I could feel that even though I've never been stage.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Oh yeah, pepper Pong takes over pickleball?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Y yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
And third and final headline, cat named Bob Barker goes
viral for barking instead of meowing. Oh, cat named Bob Barker.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Barker goes viral for barking instead of me owing.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Viral for barking. Okay, wow, okay, Well let's say I
think the cat named Bob Barker. That one I think
is real. That sounds real. I hope it's real. That's funny.
The pepper pong takes over pickleball trend. I don't know
what pepper pong is. I guess it's like maybe ping pong.
(28:42):
I don't know. Maybe he takes some ping pong rules
and applied to pickleball. And then the man rescued from
the well after three days, people thought he's making ghostly sounds.
That's These are all very interesting. I think the fake
news is the man rescued from the well. Oh no,
you're making a sad face. The cat the fake news.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
The fake news is the cat name bubbler Man.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
I really like that for a cat's name.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
For some reason, I think it's a It's like they
connected dots there so well that you go, there's no
way that's gotta be real. Yeah, somebody goes, oh my gosh,
my cat barks. I got to call it viral video.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Well, Bob Barker always wanted you to stay in new
to your pets. The cat heard that, saying, no, I'm
identifying as something else right Now, that's believable, right.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
So yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I see big things in twenty twenty five for you.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Oh God, bless America.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Ah for bless the Mark Blazer Show.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
How about bitcoin going over one hundred thousand dollars for
a bitcoin for one bitcoin? Yeah, holy col I heard
Glenn Back talking about it earlier that there was a
guy that it's the story with that where back in
the day, the guy used a few bitcoin to get
(30:24):
pizza from Papa John's and he paid with bitcoin and
it was like to the tune of I want to say,
it was like five bitcoin per pizza.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Wow, and this dude and he that was it?
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Like he never and that that story is already and
I may be off a little bit on that.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Half a million dollar pizza though. That must have some cheese.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, and now it definitely does that.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
But that story came out when bitcoin was in the
sixty thousand range. I remember that story, never verified it
or whatever, but boy, it really has more gravity when
you think about what bitcoin is doing right now, and
think about having ten of those and you're a millionaire.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
I was thinking today what I heard that he hit
one hundred thousand. I'm like, okay, now, how rich would
I have to be if I decided now is the
time to put some money into bitcoin? Because you know
you're going, yeah, well it's already one hundred thousand. Well
whoever thought when it was fifty cents that it was
going to be one hundred thousand? Nobody who says it
can't be half a million? Who says it can't be
(31:27):
a million? What are the boundaries? What are the limits?
If I had stupid money to play with? Yeah, I
might actually buy a little bit.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
By the way, I'm looking at it real time, So
before you start blowing up my direct message, I know
it dropped below one hundred. It's ninety nine thousand and
four forty six right now. Oh well there, so it
bottom fell out. Yeah, well you know how it goes.
A lot of people are quick to send me stuff
and go, uh, you know or whatever. So okay, it's
(31:57):
just barely below, but it did crest. I saw one
oh eight at one point. This would have been last night,
last year. This is the Seinfeld of currency, it really is.
It's a currency about nothing, and it's crazy enough speculation
of what somebody may be willing to give you in.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Exchange for it. There's no backing, there's no it's nothing
but speculation. And that's I don't know if that's a
good thing or a bad thing. I'm not sure if
I'm impressed with our creativity as a species or if
I'm depressed that we could spend that kind of money
on nothingness.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
It is a uh.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, I don't know. I definitely don't know a lot
about crypto. You know, Demetrius, God Rest his soul, he did.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
He knew.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
He's very knowledgeable, very versed in that, and he would
talk about it when he would be on the air
with us, and that was clearly when it was, you know,
relatively new kind of getting underway maybe you know, and
by fledgling, I mean, you know, the last few years,
but it was starting to pick up speed, and he
was he understod and would talk about it and so on.
But Doze is one of those ones that it's it's
(33:06):
starting to you know, kind of spike up a little
bit simply because of this Department of Government efficiency. Yeah,
you know, the whole thing with that, and that's it.
That's the only reason that it's I think kind of
spiking or whatever. But you know what, buying it at
two or three cents per share, which is what I did. Yeah,
I'm just gonna I'm just gonna let it sit. Who knows,
(33:27):
who knows what could happen. I don't show up one day, Chuck,
you know what happened?
Speaker 4 (33:31):
What is the economy of cryptocurrency going to be? Okay,
It's like, okay, I can't spring for the Lexus, but
this is a really nice Toyota Doge may be the
Toyota to the bitcoy Lexus for all you know, right, Yes,
I'll take it, Yeah, exactly, I'll take it.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
And I already got my investment back. I did that,
you know, two years ago or whatever it was. I did,
you know, when I first bought it. I did get
my initial investment, and it's just been sitting there ever since.
I have I have, you know, several thousand shares of it.
So I'm just sitting there. We are in an interesting time.
We'll see, we'll see how it happens. And I'm glad
(34:07):
that Eric Delbert is joining us. Now he's host of
on Target and of course owner of LAPD Firearms and Range.
He is our crypto currency professional. He is our he's
and I'm glad he's joining us now Eric and Eric's like,
wait a minute, what what am I?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
What did you say?
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Eric thinks you should be able to use ammunition as currency.
Speaker 10 (34:26):
You can in some neighborhoods in precious metals guys, okay, lead.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Copper with the with the emphasis on lead. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 10 (34:38):
Man, It's funny. I heard you guys talking about crypto,
and I don't know much about it. At one point though,
I had an opportunity of just throwing a couple hundred.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
Dollars in it.
Speaker 10 (34:46):
And this just tells you my my level of risk.
I threw a couple hundred dollars in it, it jumped
to like three twenty five. I'm like, great, I made
one hundred and twenty five. I'm out and so I
told it and I'm gone.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
So you have a you were you're one of those people.
You can go. I never lost anything in crypto.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
I invested and I made money and I got out,
So you don't have to tell people how much.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
But guess what that that holds true, right right, Yeah,
for sure.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
So yeah, we we were talking about this yesterday when
when all of this broke. Yesterday morning, of course, the
CEO of United Healthcare, Brian Thompson, was gunned down on
in front of his hotel. There, I believe on sixth
Street is where our reporter was telling me yesterday this
place is located. I've only been to New York City
one time, so I'm not acting like I know where
(35:37):
it is. But anyway, it was very early in the morning.
He comes out, and several people had walked by the
shooter by the way, and clearly he didn't shoot anybody else.
So you know, Brian comes out, walks by, the guy
shoots him in the back, He spins around, he continues
shooting him. I guess he he took fire in the
chest and then the leg and so on.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
You know.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Now we're finding out some differ different things about this situation,
one of which is he has a wife.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
He has two children. I believe two sons. Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Did you I thought I heard you saying that, are
talking about that last night, Chuck? Did you do you
remember I think you exactly behind my wife and two children? Okay, okay,
But you know, there's there's a whole bunch of different
interesting angles that are kind of coming out of this.
First and foremost, I don't know, Eric, if you saw
(36:28):
any of the social media people are so brutal on
there what they are saying about this guy. And you
know the fact that, yeah, I don't know, maybe he
was a snake in the grass. He was, I'm not
I don't know anything about him and his business practices
and all of that. But man, doing something like that,
I mean that that's why we have a court system
(36:49):
and so on. You're not supposed to be the judge, jury,
and executioner right there on the street. Although we know
we can't stop people from doing that. Clearly we we
witnessed it yesterday. But I've I thought it was interesting
you sent a text earlier this morning and there were
some things that you kind of wanted to clarify about
the way that this went down with regard to the
shooter and so on.
Speaker 10 (37:09):
Yeah, you know, we look at it and I don't know
if if it's the place cop instinct or whatever, but
when I when you see these these events, I start
to look at it almost from an investigative standpoint. So
one of the things that's too it out, not just
to me but to many out there, was it looked
like the shooter had a suppressor on his firearm, which
is a little bit unique in this day. You don't
(37:30):
you know, you don't see that happen very often. And
so a couple of the things that came to mind
on that. I think suppressors are illegal in New York City. Okay,
how do they get it? Is he from out of town?
And the other part of that is it's not super
easy to get a suppressor. You have to go through
a little bit more of an extensive background check than
(37:50):
you do for purchasing a firearm.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
So do they ask you on a on a side note,
if I can pause you right there? Sure when you
because you guys sell them there at LAPD firearms and
rains and jo Ron be't the road. But when somebody
comes in, do they ask you on the forum?
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Is it different?
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Though?
Speaker 3 (38:06):
I think forty four to seventy three is what it is.
But do they ask you and it might be a
different form for a suppressor, but do they ask you, like,
what business do you have with buying one of these?
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Or there is it a they don't ask why no.
Speaker 10 (38:18):
So actually the suppressors are still covered under the nfact.
So you go through the process of buying. When you
buy a suppressor, this same process you would as if
you were to buy a machine gun or a short
barreled rifle. So it's not done immediately in the store.
We can help with the paperwork and then it gets
submitted to the ATF and FBI. You had to submit
(38:39):
fingerprints and typically the reason there was a question that
says reason for ownership. Most often you put all lawful
purposes or for collection purposes. But they've become very popular.
They're not all that expensive, and the ATF has really
sped up the turnaround time. So it used to be
you would go to purchase one, it would literally take
(39:01):
nine months even a year sometimes to get the paperwork back.
We're seeing that paperwork return now within forty eight hours,
maybe a week sometimes, so it's really open up the
market for it. But it is they are a registered item,
so you can't just sell it to a buddy. It's
very you know, presumably we know you know, or the
(39:23):
government knows where every suppressor who owns it, because you
have to go through that.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Paperwork that is that it is very interesting.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
But the fact is, you know, when you have people
wanting to buy those, I mean, it has to enter
your mind, like, so, what do you plan on doing
with this?
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Is it just like a toy like anything else?
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Or I mean, I know you're not necessarily allowed to
ask somebody that when they come into your you know,
in your store, you're going, look, it's a sale. If
they qualify, they get past all of what they need.
Now it's sold. I'm bringing it up, you know, or whatever.
But does it make you do you ever wonder when
someone comes in and they want one? You do you think, like,
I wonder what they're going to do with this? Is
it more or less just kind of a novelty.
Speaker 10 (40:05):
Thing, a little bit of a nowe? But there is
a viable purpose form. I mean, it suppresses the sound.
It's not Hollywood silent silent in most cases. So if
you're hunting and you have a suppressor, many states encourage
it because you can, you know, shoot without hearing protection
and you're not disturbing others. If you have an outdoor
range at home, it really makes it viable not loud.
(40:29):
And then on the range too, I mean it can
really get to a point where you don't have to
hear hearing protection. So it's not most of the time
Hollywood quiet as they say. So it does. It does
have an application other than just being kind of a
cool factor.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
So, were there some things that were reported about this
eric that you noticed and you went, hang on, this
is this is not completely accurate?
Speaker 9 (40:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (40:53):
One of the things that kept coming up was they
kept saying the shooter's gun has jammed, and it you
do see clearly in the picture that he is having
to cycle that firearm each time, which is not all
that uncommon when you're talking about utilizing a suppressure, especially
on a handgun. Sometimes, if you're trying to make that
(41:16):
as quiet as possible, you can purchase subsonic ammunition. It's
very common, and that ammunition is loaded to lighter pressures
than a normal let's say nine to milimeter, and so
it makes it even quieter when you go to shoot it.
But sometimes one of the drawbacks to that is it's
not powerful enough to cycle the firearm. So it's not uncommon,
(41:39):
and you can see the shooter in this case didn't
seem surprised that every time he shot he had to
cycle the firearm, probably because it was a subsonic ammunition,
or it could have even been handloaded. Depending on his
level of knowledge on firearms, he might have loaded it
lighter to be quieter.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Is it your understanding that it was a twenty two?
I mean, I don't know how anybody figures that out right.
Speaker 10 (42:04):
I don't think everyone I've talked to, I don't think
you can determine it. My gut is it was probably
a nine millimeter. I mean, it's very common now. It's
not to say too that here, you know, he couldn't.
He could have made that suppressor. They're not all that
complicated a federal law. If you if you do that,
you know you're breaking federal law. But it's not that hard.
(42:25):
If he was intending to do something to, you know, make.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
One, he's probably not that worried about federal law since
he was killing.
Speaker 10 (42:32):
Somebody, you know, exactly exactly. But it's not uncommon. There
was even some firearms in the day. I think it
goes back to Vietnam that were intended not to cycle.
So if you imagine that if you have a you're
really trying to be quiet, you have subsign of communition. Well,
sometimes all you hear is the cycling of that firearm.
So if you keep that that slide forward when you shut,
(42:53):
it makes it even more quieter. So it's not it's
not that uncommon.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
Verstation before with the silencers, the suppressors, whatever you want
to call them. I don't have much use for them,
but I don't want to take away anybody else's right
to have them. Yeah, Frankly, if I have to pull
the trigger, I want everyone to know it. If I've
got to open fire, I want it known that I
am firing. If I'm hunting, I want it known. Hey
there's a guy one hundred yards behind you with a rifle.
I like the idea of interesting making you know that warnings. Yeah, yeah,
(43:24):
for sure.
Speaker 10 (43:25):
I agree with the chuck.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
So Eric is Eric Delbert, host of On Target, owner
of LAPD Firearms and Range. So on Saturday, you guys
have a little something special happening, correct, we do.
Speaker 10 (43:38):
We just got the word yesterday that we are actually
we typically come on noon until one on Saturdays. This Saturday, though,
we are going to be going from eleven am until one,
so a two hour show. We've talked about it a
long time and this weekend we have an opportunity to
do it, so we're super excited about that.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
Very good starts at eleven am right here on news
radios extendably, and from eleven to one it'll be on target.
You'll be there with the whole cast, the whole cast
and crew. If you will live from LAPD Firearms and Range.
You still have the uh yeah, you still have the
studio over there and all of that.
Speaker 10 (44:14):
You have the studio setup, have a little studio audience
each week.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
All right, very good man, Eric Delbert, thanks for jumping
on with us clarifying some of this stuff. Kind of
interesting with regard to suppressors and silencers, what have you.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
Kind of interesting information.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
And yeah, if you're one of those people going, really
I thought they were illegal because remember I was telling
you that when I was in your store and you
have them right there in the case like showing, and
I was like, what these are? I didn't even realize
that I was buying a couple of guns from you.
And then I was like, oh, you you actually sell
these and they're not illegal now, but you do have
to go through the process, so correct.
Speaker 10 (44:50):
Correct, Well, thanks guys, you guys be safe out there.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Thanks Eric, appreciate it. Man, you too,
The Mark Blazer Show.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Man, this is crazy. What is happening in California right now?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
First of all, thank you welcome in Mark Blazer, Chuck
Douglas station Akin from ABC six, Fox twenty eight, and
my friend and as you know, friend of the show
on all the time, Alex Stone ABC News out of
Los Angeles. I sent him a text. He has not replied.
I'm a little worried. This is Petrolea. I don't even
(00:41):
know how to pronounce that. But it's forty miles west
northwest of Petrolia, California. Seven point zero magnitude earthquake happened
there not too long ago. Tsunami warning now has been
all canceled. Okay, good, I'm just reading this now on
Fox News. I'm watching this. But I sent Alex in
no and said, hey, man, is everything okay? Because what
(01:03):
they do is a little bit of inside baseball. But
we we get offered the different people reporting on different
stuff on a national level, and that sent to us daily.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Alex is one of those people.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
And earlier I got a note from the producer there
out of New York who said Alex is being pulled
to cover the earthquake.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
And I was like, what what earthquakes?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
So then I looked up on that. I'm like, oh
my gosh.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
So I sent him a text and said, hey, man,
are you and he has not replied yet.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
So seven point zero that's pretty big.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Right, And it's pretty big?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Okay, that's yeah. I don't I don't, but since it was.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Off the coast, I'm not sure what that. When we
have off the coast, we've got ocean between the epicenter
and land mass. How much they feel or how much.
I haven't seen anything that indicates damage because we've been
focused on the tsunami warning since that happened. But we're
(02:00):
not seeing anything as we're watching this.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, I don't see anything.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Just so, if there was a tsunami warning in the
first place, even though it's canceled now, this would have
had to be some kind of shelfed shift in the ocean.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Not in the Pacific area.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yeah, not on land, which I mean if you're in California.
Thank God for that. Ever since I was a kid,
we've been waiting for that whole San Andreas Fault thing
to happen. And I imagine every time the ground even
trembles out there, people take a deep breath and wonder
if that's it.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Well, no, And the answer is no if you're Alex Stone.
Because I've had him on and talked about it many
times on the air and said, dude, I saw that.
He goes, yeah, yeah, we had something earlier today. It's
not a big deal. Yeah, some stuff fell off the show.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I was like, yeah, but is that like the Florida
people it's one hundred and eighty four degrees, Like, yeah,
it's not too bad down here, and it gets worse
in the summer. You know, maybe you're just so accustomed.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
To well, I don't know kind of you know, that
was his answer.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't know if it was you know, if he's embellishing,
if he's but I'm telling you it.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
It came off real to me.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Like I wasn't like this guy's full of it, he's
scared out of his mind. It did not come off
that way. And like I said, I speak to him
off the air too, like we're friendly, and I even said, man,
is everything okay?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Or you know He's like, yeah, we have these you know.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Every that happened, and I think the one day it
was like a three point he goes, man, it was
only a three point and I'm like what, and I said,
so I brought it up because we had a small
one in Los Cabos when we were in Mexico.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Oh wow, yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
It was literally on Sunday morning when we were there,
and I jumped up out of the bed because I
was like, it was early and we were kind of
in and out of consciousness, you know, me and Jenny,
and I felt it and I was like, no, did
you feel it?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And She's like what, And I'm like, I just felt something.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
And I jumped on and started looking at news and
there was a small one that happened in Cabo San Lucas.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Oh my goodness, Like it was, I felt it.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
It shook the building, but it wasn't very much.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
I think there was something to it, that that reaction
that you have because you are not used to it.
You know, get that a lot here in Ohio that
I remember living in Oklahoma being from there, and you go,
you grow up in the schools doing the tornado drills
and all that stuff, and you kind of you know
the rules. I know, duck downstairs underneath something set are
part of the house, keep away from windows, like I
(04:21):
know the rules boom, boom boom. And we had a
family move in. They they were stationed at Fort Hill
and they moved in next door to us. My husband
and I and the storm comes through. Hobby and I
are sitting on the front porch watching the trees, you know,
go perpendicular, and now suddenly and then the family runs out.
When the storm comes through. You're like, oh, my gosh,
was that a tornado? And we're like, no, that's probably
(04:45):
just some straight line winds. And you know, for us,
it was just no thing. But they had moved there
from New Jersey, so that was like their first storm
that they were experiencing. No, that was not a tornado.
That was just a little wind.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Welcome to Oklahoma, Ohio in my lifetime and I haven't
filled either one, which.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
It was one of a couple of weeks ago, not
near here. The EP center was cent here. I feel
it was down south, but you have them occasionally here
to get here, little little, just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
The one in Mexico, I believe, I said Cabo San Lucas,
but I think it was because that's the Baja Peninsula
where we were. We were west of the Sea Cortez,
so we weren't you go east and that's where I
call it the mainland Mexico, you know, but we were
we were west of that, and it's the Baja Peninsula,
which I called I kept calling it like California extreme
(05:37):
southern California, but clearly it's Mexico. But it's all it
is is an extension that goes all the way down,
uh further you know, south or whatever, and Cabo San
Lucas as far south as you can go before you
dump into the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez there.
But that's why it originated somewhere, and I thought, you know,
this is very possible because the stuff happens in California constantly,
(05:58):
and it could be like all the way just come
all the.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Way down, you know south. So yeah, it was. It
was crazy.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
But he's just like, eh, he'll probably yeah. He still
hasn't text me back yet.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
But hopefully.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Yeah, he's in a coverwork, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Tell me about Well, first of all, man, this morning
and the wind chill, that was no joke, right, I
mean tearing.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
You in half when you stepped outside.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
See, it's gross out there right now. And that's not
nearly as bad as it was this morning, and everywhere
you go since has this stuff, like all the crystals
out on the parking lot, so nobody would slip or anything,
just being prepared for anything. And it is brutal out
there now. So this morning now it feels we're almost
tropical now.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
It was still off it's to school yesterday morning and
this morning the scene reading on the kar from out
or twenty one degrees. The wind made the difference. Yes,
he actually put the nit hat on. I look like
a belonged in Chicago pead or something. It was. It
was weird having to bundle up for the same temperature
just because of that. Bit'll win.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
We Yet it's still out there. That wind is really
cutting through.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Yeah. Plus I'm asking de Wine to declare my yard
a disaster area. You should see the patio furniture. That
stuff's all over the place from last night.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Wo yeah I I you know, when I was taking stones,
like do I really need to because he was going
to start putting on layers and I drove him to school.
He is like an ankle thing right now too, So
I was like, dude, you don't have to hobble down
to the bus stop and then stand in the you know, frigid.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It's like, I'll just drive you. I've been driving him this.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Week and he's like, do I need to put And
I was like, no, you're gonna get out of the
car and go into the building. You guys aren't going
out to They still have recess even though he's in fifth.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Yeah, okay, fifth grade, he's still in the elementary school.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Right right. I was like, recess what like? And I go,
are you guys going out? He goes, No, they're not
letting us out because it's too cold.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
They haven't let him out this whole week because of
how cold is Johnny's school.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
They have a temperature that they set and they if
it gets to that point, then we stay inside and
have some fun. No recess side.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Yeah, yeah, I love the difference in our lives. I'm
laughing internally here because you started that story with Stone's
got a he's got an ankle thing. Now, see, in
your nice suburban world, that means an injury of some sort.
My side of town, that means he's wearing a monitor
to the police know where he is. That's a complete
same statement, completely meaning.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Good good lord. He hasn't gotten to that point yet.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I hope never ever ever let him hang around my
group for Oh lord, no, learn.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
You learn today's word probation.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Uh say it with me, kids, right?
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Hey, Ed, welcome to the show. So you were in
an earthquake that you survived.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
Yeah, it was here at Columbus.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Oh wow, when was that?
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Oh it was back in the eighties. It was like
a three point six or something like that. I'm sitting
on the toilet and all the glass started rattling in
the room.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
No good story, story then access to it.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
So I gotta stop eating taco bell man, I'm rattling
glass now, good lord, sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Ed.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
It was it rattled everything.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
I was still living at home at that point in time.
And mom hollered. She was laying down in her bed.
She hollered, ed, what are you doing. I'm froze on
the tht I ain't doing nothing.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
She thought you were messing around.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
That's hilarious, Ed.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I'm so glad you survived, you know, And good thing
you were sitting where you were when it happened, because
there are probably a lot of people that had to
have changed their drawers that day.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I've been.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Man, that's a great story.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Ed, thanks man, Yeah, if that happened at our house,
and I was I'm not kidding Jenny in the other
room and be.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Like, Mark, what are you doing in there? She'd be
yelling at me. I didn't shake the house? What's wrong
with you?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
So so sorry about that? So sorry that.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Kind of level of an earthquake that you're not quite
sure what just happened. Yeah, And so like when you
just experienced the one in Cabo, you were kind of like,
what was that?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
And Jenny's like what, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
There is that moment where you're not quite sure and
then you're questioning everything that you think just happened. And
Jenny's like, well, why didn't I feel that? What's you know?
What's going on? That's I was.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I was gonna ahead of time.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I told her, like when we were flying back, where
we get on the plane and we're coming back and
we're flying it. We go through Dallas Fort Worth and
then into Column But we get on the plane and
I told her, I go, you know, when I tell
this story on the air, I said, I'm gonna tell
it like you and I were having some fun time,
and that happened while we were having the fun time.
And you were the one that went did you feel that?
(10:42):
And I was like, what are you talking about? Baby?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
And she's like that, did you feel the bed? You're
darn right I did. It's my fault. Like she's like,
she's like looking at me, like, are you really going
to do that?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Carol King cued up in there, Zachar move.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
My feet.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Anyway, sick minds thing like, I'm glad my in laws
don't listen to this radio for bless.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
At least I don't think they do occasionally my father.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
In law d Yeah, they're Democrats. They don't really listen
because they don't want to hear their son in law
speak the truth and you know, all kinds of make
all kinds of sense and stuff. Anyway, man, So it
made me think because the snowplows they really weren't out today, right,
I mean, but but we're on the cusps. We're on
the cusp, right. I just the reason I bring that
(11:36):
up this is so funny. Uh, there's cities that you know,
they this one city, Redmond, Washington, State of Washington, got
new snowplows and they named them, which I thought were
I thought these names were really kind of funny.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
That's pretty common. Actually when you get where did they
come up with?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Well, I thought these were pretty funny. There's one called
control Salt Delete.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
That's a.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Then they have one called scoop Dog.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Okay, scoop Dog like that, which I was like, man,
these are really good, Like who came up with.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
I'm just not that clever.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Controls scoop Dog. Then there was.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Snow Begone Kenobi, which is the which is the Obi
Wan Kenobi the Star Wars nod there. Then there's the
big le Plowski the Plowski.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Okay, because I've heard some names. Every time I hear
the names that they come up with. Sometimes they'll come
up with options and you get to vote on which
name you want to pick. These are all amazing.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Those are so good, right, I thought these were great.
And then there was the final one was Betty White Out,
which is tribute to Betty White.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
There's some Department of Transportation out there there. There's some
some d O T s that they really got.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Some clever folks at Brudings listening right now, going that's
an idea.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yeah, we've done that. I think we have, but that
those are really good.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I when I saw them, I was literally Eloeling.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I was laughing out loud when I was reading this earlier,
and I go, oh, I got to bring these up
because tis the season.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
You know, we've got these snowplow.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
How many times do we hear Brooding or any of
his people and they go, please stay back because they
you can if you search it up. Holy cow, you
can see some disaster of traffic accidents because people don't
stay back, or they start to go around because they're
going slow, or they they don't stay back far enough
and then they complain about the salt all over their vehicle,
(13:41):
or they're getting pummeled with It's just like, look, these
these people are out there trying to help us. It's like,
you've got to stay back, man, you just do. But
this is where we're getting into this area. And clearly
today it wasn't enough to really plow anything. But there
were some closings up norths I think so.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
In South Scinnati they closed all their schools.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Schools, yeah, I didn't see that, just.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
For the windshill. We found out about that last night. Yeah,
they in advance they decided they were going to close school.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
It'd be nice. We had some uniform school closing rules
just because I mean, you know, Columbus, when do they
close if the tornado is like next to the school,
they may go, okay, we're going to dismiss early today.
They don't. They don't like closing for anything Cincinnati because
of windshill. I don't the night.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Night before they decided to do it.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
That's even that's even more not concerning, but kind of shocking.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Well, we were we were standing there wondering what does
this mean for our local districts. Obviously this is Cincinnati,
but the forecast wasn't that different from there to here,
so we were curious if that might indicate anything here.
It didn't appear to you know, generally everybody went to
school today bundling up. But yeah, Cincinnati decided to do
(14:56):
something different today.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I do know that when the air temperature is gets
into depending on where they will, I know that happens
a lot around here.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Then you know, you get around five.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Degrees yeah, when it gets really really cool.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
And then the wind chills get into the minus the
minus ten, well they'll do I've you know, I've the
experienced that here. I'm sure we all have or whatever,
but that it just didn't generate that kind of you know,
because they also knew the fact that we were nineteen
or whatever it was this morning. And then I saw
all the different wind chills. It was you know, three five,
(15:30):
four two roos, you know, and wind chill is obviously
a little different, but it still affects.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Humans the same way.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Sure does, which is you know it might as well.
But when you have the air temperature at two and
then the wind blows, now you're talking minus ten, you
know that kind of that's when the kid they have
to stand at the bus stop and they don't want
they don't want that.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
No, which I understand.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
It really is dangerous.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
It is, especially for the really little kids.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
It seems like it's extra tough on them.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Or what have you.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Whether the marker sixteen.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Dreams can see her wave into that glove, help.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
And think of that.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
And then when they're like skipping down the sidewalk.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, at the very beginning, Yeah, remember this was released.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It was a hitch. I it was the theme song
that it was a hitch.
Speaker 9 (16:25):
Really.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I love when they would they would set it up
and then it would be like bam, the door come up, Hello,
like Lenny and Squid and they would be the punchline.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
It was just like so well written. It's like, man,
I love that kind of humor. It's perfect for me.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
The big Carmine Richards, Yeah, iver did was Lavernon Shirley
Good but that went that went to like top it
was top twenty. And then the same lines of Angie
out of Pascal that went in the top ten. Remember
that one. Nice Roberts played the really, dude, you need
to watch more TV.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Really I heard the opposite from.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
My occupied look at the screen, don't break stuff?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Hey, look who it is?
Speaker 9 (17:14):
Much there was there was greatest American hero that went
really high. There was the theme from Cheers that did
even Saint Elmo Elmo elsewhere.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Yes, elsewhere. Listen to the full theme from Cheers.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
No I've never heard don't do it?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Better know, Zach, I mean so much better? Stop it.
The next it's like a bat signal. He like throws
it out and just like, let me mention this.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I mean the next line before, of course goes you
roll out of bed. Mister coffee's dead, the morning's looking bright,
and your shrink ran off to Europe and didn't even write, And.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Your husband wants to be a girl.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
It's the song's great, it really is.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I have not heard those lyrics before.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
I've got the forty five at home. I'll record it.
Incent its Hey.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I also wanted to throw this in because we have,
you know, one person who really loves pickles and one
person who does not love. But here's what I wanted
to Here's why I wanted to throw this in. There
is a shopper that claims to find a frog in
a jar of are you ready plastic pickles?
Speaker 5 (18:24):
O blessed?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Did you guys see this?
Speaker 3 (18:27):
No, it was a Walmart shopper and look, I'm just
reading the story. They were shocked after allegedly discovering a frog.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
That poor frog man.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Awful, all right, oh.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Shopper, they went, hey, look a bonus. I'm just saying,
we got to have frog legs with their pickles to.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Not that's disgusting proof like pictures or it didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Well, they posted a video of the jar. This is
once again on TikTok.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Okay, America's source for news.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
If there's a frog and a pickle jar, I want
to see it.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Well there is, she zooms in on.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
It beeds to be a frog's leg, a body floating
among the pickles.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
This was not alive.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
No, it wouldn't be alive.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, gross, by the time you would see that, if
it was on a shelf, there's no way.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
It could be alive.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Well that brine too would.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Just I don't know all of it.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
They don't breathe, and pickles they don't. They don't breathe
under what they have to come up right for d
for air?
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Yeah, Frogs they don't air in the jar, right, I
don't know. I don't buy pickles, man, what the heck? Yeah,
here's another reason why you could have stumped station with
that one.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I could have That actually was one of the headlines,
but I thought the story was better to talk to
you and Marshall about.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Then, marsh there's no pickles in the forecast right yet? Yeah, yes,
they could fall from the sky at any moment.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
They'd be frozen at this point.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It is so cold.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Outsize.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
We had sixty mile per hour wind gus in Columbus
last night, Yes we did.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Oh wow, you could really hear it, you could really.
Speaker 9 (20:17):
Your airport reported a sixty mile per hour wind gus.
Other places fifty five miles per hour, So Yeah, it
was really super windy last night and we had station
what did we have?
Speaker 4 (20:28):
What? Where? It took me?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Just where did that happen here?
Speaker 9 (20:35):
So some of it actually mostly northwest of Columbus, most
of it in northwestern Ohio, but we had some get
all the way down into like Kenton and Ada and
Hardin County and some of that over into Wyandotte County.
So basically it's the same setup as a thunderstorm. It
just happens when it's cold, so you end up with
the lightning and thunder just like you would during a
regular thunderstorm, but what's falling is snow, so you get
(20:56):
thunder snow and it's.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
It was really fun. And when Marshall realized that the
thunder snow had hit the radar, because I mean, he
was giddy.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
It was so fun.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
It was really fun.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
I love it. Does they have like a radar signature
that's discernibly funny? Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Yes, we got it, baby, wait, Cantory, we got it.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I was like, who is that, Marshall was?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
That's great? Twelve thirty last night, I heard the wind
start up and my neighbor to the west is now
my neighbor to the east that's it. It came wrong
on my street.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Who Yeah, house landed on him.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
It was amazing anyway, only things sticking out were the heels.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Right, So yeah, the thunder snow.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Basically what we were looking at were lightning signatures on radar.
So the same way we do in the summer, you
can see where the lightning strikes are. Those show up
this time of the year too, and so that's how
you knew there was thunder snow happening, even though we
were way too far away to hear it, but you
would have heard it locally. Interestingly enough, you don't hear
it very far because the snow attenuates the sound.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
So it muffles it.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 9 (22:08):
So that's also why you have to be really close
to where it's happening to really experience the whole concept
to thunder snow.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
You know, I just thought of something, Marshall on a
serious note, that explains why you know, when you're outside
and it's snowing and it looks like a snow globe
and you already have snow on the ground and it's
kind of fresh, and you're out there, you go, man,
it's so quiet out here.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
That explains it.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Man, that is so cool how that it really does
act as insulation.
Speaker 9 (22:35):
It's like, yeah, and if the snow is coming down
at the time, especially if it's heavy, it'll also attenuate
that sound and keep it from traveling quite as far.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
So yeah.
Speaker 9 (22:45):
So it was thunder snow last night here in parts
of central Ohio nineteen overnight. Tonight the windshills are going
to be really cold again tomorrow morning. We were in
the single digits this morning. We only got into double
digits a little after noon today. Then on Friday, partly cloudy,
thirty two. Toys for Tots on Saturday, come on down
and see us. It'll be a relatively nice day, partly
(23:05):
cloudy in thirty eight. Sunday it's gonna be dry for
most of the day, fifty and rain Sunday night.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
All right, very good, marshall, thank you. It is twenty
five right now.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
I'm glad that today's forecast was not for Toys for
Tots on Saturday. Right, I send up for the early shift,
right eight to ten.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Oh, you're going early.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
You're gone real early because Johnny has a basketball game,
so we're gonna go early. And I think he's gonna
come with me. He says, he wants to come with
mom and help out with toys for tots and he's six. Now,
I think he's full enough to help. And I think
it'll be really fun and very nice. So this morning's
forecast would not have been as easy to bring him. No,
(23:47):
that we'll be lucky.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You would have had to just mind.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
You would have had to, you know, kind of look
after him though it would have been counterproductive.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, but this, Yeah, that's doable. I think it'll be
fun and you don't have a precipitation or anything. It'll
be chilly, but it's not crazy.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
He even wanted to come to work with mom. He's
so confused about what it is I do. And now
I'm going to confuse him even more because he'll come
to work with me. Santa will be there, people are
bringing toys, and he's kind of like, what is exactly
that you do? You know, because it's not very clear
to him at this point.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Oh, when he sees it all, he'll put it together.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
He's like, yeah, Mom should put it together for something
package that runs while you were at home, and he's
like looking at the street, looking at you.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
A couple of times, but it doesn't register to him
because this age group, everybody can be on TV from
your phone and you just air, you know, you just
put it right up on the screen, No big deal.
But he was at his friend Max's house and they
had the news on there like, hey, look, Johnny, it's
your mom, and somehow that registered to him when he
was at somebody else's house and saw me on TV
and they're just kind of like, what is it?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Here we go because we are I don't want to
get to where we don't have enough time.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Okay, station.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
I just love the thought of you recording that.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I'm stupid sitting by yourself and.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
You go stump station.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
And then I was using all the effects, going what
was this one sound?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Like?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Let me see you that? Oh that's kind of.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
Interesting, it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
And then I was like messing with it and I'm like,
what is that? There isn't even an effect. It says
there's one there, but I don't hear anything.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Yeah, it makes me so happy.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
That third high pitched one is what he sounds like
without all the station processing on.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
It's yeah, amazing.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Right where were we?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
What are we doing? What are we doing? Stations?
Speaker 5 (25:37):
I think llo shout out to by the way, the
Ohio State Highway Patrol and Franklin County Sheriff's Department and
clubs police who were out there at the Rock City
Shoe give yesterday at West Broad I know they listen,
and they were. They were giving me a thumbs up
for a win with Stump station.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
That all right, that's good.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
I hope I can get.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
And she's also, did you are you getting out of
some tickets by shouting out to.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Some maybe proactively?
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Whatever it takes officially right now, Yeah, whatever it takes.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Whatever it takes. We have three headlines.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
I don't speed. Why are you saying that?
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Well, no, no, you do not would not be me.
We have three headlines today. Choose the fake headline, the
fake news fake news, two will be real, one will
be fake.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Here we go. Here's the first headline.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Man rescued after three days in a well as villagers
mistake his cries for ghostly sounds.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Oh my goodness, this awful. It's like a nightmare. Man
rescued from well.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Yeah, after three days in a well as villagers mistake
his cries for ghostly sounds.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Oh my goodness, that's sound. Sad.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
It is sad.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Remember you're choosing the fake news today, all right, Chuck
D Talker, Which you got?
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Pepper Pong not pepper pig. Pepper Pong takes over pickle ball.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Trend pepper Pong takes over pickle ball. I'm new to pickleball.
I played for the first time this year.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
That's fun.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Well that go I was really good.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Were you she found a frog in it?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
You need to you.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Gotta try, uh try your luck with one. Don Ross
Ross Ravisor. He's a pickleball fanatic. Really, he plays I
think multiple times a week.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
He's listening.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Now he's somewhere a little bit warmer for a couple
of days, right, but he's listening. He said he was streaming.
He sent me a note. But I was like, oh uh,
I haven't fun.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
It's I don't play tennis. I had to learn from
the beginning all the rules and stuff like that, and
I was really into it. I'm also very competitive.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Just I could feel that even though I've never been stage.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Oh yeah, pepper Pong takes over pickleball?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Y yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
And third and final headline, cat named Bob Barker goes
viral for barking instead of meowing. Oh, cat named Bob Barker.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Barker goes viral for barking instead of me owing.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Viral for barking. Okay, wow, okay, Well let's say I
think the cat named Bob Barker. That one I think
is real. That sounds real. I hope it's real. That's funny.
The pepper pong takes over pickleball trend. I don't know
what pepper pong is. I guess it's like maybe ping pong.
(28:42):
I don't know. Maybe he takes some ping pong rules
and applied to pickleball. And then the man rescued from
the well after three days, people thought he's making ghostly sounds.
That's These are all very interesting. I think the fake
news is the man rescued from the well. Oh no,
you're making a sad face. The cat the fake news.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
The fake news is the cat name bubbler Man.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
I really like that for a cat's name.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
For some reason, I think it's a It's like they
connected dots there so well that you go, there's no
way that's gotta be real. Yeah, somebody goes, oh my gosh,
my cat barks. I got to call it viral video.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Well, Bob Barker always wanted you to stay in new
to your pets. The cat heard that, saying, no, I'm
identifying as something else right Now, that's believable, right.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
So yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I see big things in twenty twenty five for you.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Oh God, bless America.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Ah for bless the Mark Blazer Show.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
How about bitcoin going over one hundred thousand dollars for
a bitcoin for one bitcoin? Yeah, holy col I heard
Glenn Back talking about it earlier that there was a
guy that it's the story with that where back in
the day, the guy used a few bitcoin to get
(30:24):
pizza from Papa John's and he paid with bitcoin and
it was like to the tune of I want to say,
it was like five bitcoin per pizza.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Wow, and this dude and he that was it?
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Like he never and that that story is already and
I may be off a little bit on that.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Half a million dollar pizza though. That must have some cheese.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, and now it definitely does that.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
But that story came out when bitcoin was in the
sixty thousand range. I remember that story, never verified it
or whatever, but boy, it really has more gravity when
you think about what bitcoin is doing right now, and
think about having ten of those and you're a millionaire.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
I was thinking today what I heard that he hit
one hundred thousand. I'm like, okay, now, how rich would
I have to be if I decided now is the
time to put some money into bitcoin? Because you know
you're going, yeah, well it's already one hundred thousand. Well
whoever thought when it was fifty cents that it was
going to be one hundred thousand? Nobody who says it
can't be half a million? Who says it can't be
(31:27):
a million? What are the boundaries? What are the limits?
If I had stupid money to play with? Yeah, I
might actually buy a little bit.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
By the way, I'm looking at it real time, So
before you start blowing up my direct message, I know
it dropped below one hundred. It's ninety nine thousand and
four forty six right now. Oh well there, so it
bottom fell out. Yeah, well you know how it goes.
A lot of people are quick to send me stuff
and go, uh, you know or whatever. So okay, it's
(31:57):
just barely below, but it did crest. I saw one
oh eight at one point. This would have been last night,
last year. This is the Seinfeld of currency, it really is.
It's a currency about nothing, and it's crazy enough speculation
of what somebody may be willing to give you in.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Exchange for it. There's no backing, there's no it's nothing
but speculation. And that's I don't know if that's a
good thing or a bad thing. I'm not sure if
I'm impressed with our creativity as a species or if
I'm depressed that we could spend that kind of money
on nothingness.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
It is a uh.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, I don't know. I definitely don't know a lot
about crypto. You know, Demetrius, God Rest his soul, he did.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
He knew.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
He's very knowledgeable, very versed in that, and he would
talk about it when he would be on the air
with us, and that was clearly when it was, you know,
relatively new kind of getting underway maybe you know, and
by fledgling, I mean, you know, the last few years,
but it was starting to pick up speed, and he
was he understod and would talk about it and so on.
But Doze is one of those ones that it's it's
(33:06):
starting to you know, kind of spike up a little
bit simply because of this Department of Government efficiency. Yeah,
you know, the whole thing with that, and that's it.
That's the only reason that it's I think kind of
spiking or whatever. But you know what, buying it at
two or three cents per share, which is what I did. Yeah,
I'm just gonna I'm just gonna let it sit. Who knows,
(33:27):
who knows what could happen. I don't show up one day, Chuck,
you know what happened?
Speaker 4 (33:31):
What is the economy of cryptocurrency going to be? Okay,
It's like, okay, I can't spring for the Lexus, but
this is a really nice Toyota Doge may be the
Toyota to the bitcoy Lexus for all you know, right, Yes,
I'll take it, Yeah, exactly, I'll take it.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
And I already got my investment back. I did that,
you know, two years ago or whatever it was. I did,
you know, when I first bought it. I did get
my initial investment, and it's just been sitting there ever since.
I have I have, you know, several thousand shares of it.
So I'm just sitting there. We are in an interesting time.
We'll see, we'll see how it happens. And I'm glad
(34:07):
that Eric Delbert is joining us. Now he's host of
on Target and of course owner of LAPD Firearms and Range.
He is our crypto currency professional. He is our he's
and I'm glad he's joining us now Eric and Eric's like,
wait a minute, what what am I?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
What did you say?
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Eric thinks you should be able to use ammunition as currency.
Speaker 10 (34:26):
You can in some neighborhoods in precious metals guys, okay, lead.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Copper with the with the emphasis on lead. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 10 (34:38):
Man, It's funny. I heard you guys talking about crypto,
and I don't know much about it. At one point though,
I had an opportunity of just throwing a couple hundred.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
Dollars in it.
Speaker 10 (34:46):
And this just tells you my my level of risk.
I threw a couple hundred dollars in it, it jumped
to like three twenty five. I'm like, great, I made
one hundred and twenty five. I'm out and so I
told it and I'm gone.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
So you have a you were you're one of those people.
You can go. I never lost anything in crypto.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
I invested and I made money and I got out,
So you don't have to tell people how much.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
But guess what that that holds true, right right, Yeah,
for sure.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
So yeah, we we were talking about this yesterday when
when all of this broke. Yesterday morning, of course, the
CEO of United Healthcare, Brian Thompson, was gunned down on
in front of his hotel. There, I believe on sixth
Street is where our reporter was telling me yesterday this
place is located. I've only been to New York City
one time, so I'm not acting like I know where
(35:37):
it is. But anyway, it was very early in the morning.
He comes out, and several people had walked by the
shooter by the way, and clearly he didn't shoot anybody else.
So you know, Brian comes out, walks by, the guy
shoots him in the back, He spins around, he continues
shooting him. I guess he he took fire in the
chest and then the leg and so on.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
You know.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Now we're finding out some differ different things about this situation,
one of which is he has a wife.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
He has two children. I believe two sons. Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Did you I thought I heard you saying that, are
talking about that last night, Chuck? Did you do you
remember I think you exactly behind my wife and two children? Okay, okay,
But you know, there's there's a whole bunch of different
interesting angles that are kind of coming out of this.
First and foremost, I don't know, Eric, if you saw
(36:28):
any of the social media people are so brutal on
there what they are saying about this guy. And you
know the fact that, yeah, I don't know, maybe he
was a snake in the grass. He was, I'm not
I don't know anything about him and his business practices
and all of that. But man, doing something like that,
I mean that that's why we have a court system
(36:49):
and so on. You're not supposed to be the judge, jury,
and executioner right there on the street. Although we know
we can't stop people from doing that. Clearly we we
witnessed it yesterday. But I've I thought it was interesting
you sent a text earlier this morning and there were
some things that you kind of wanted to clarify about
the way that this went down with regard to the
shooter and so on.
Speaker 10 (37:09):
Yeah, you know, we look at it and I don't know
if if it's the place cop instinct or whatever, but
when I when you see these these events, I start
to look at it almost from an investigative standpoint. So
one of the things that's too it out, not just
to me but to many out there, was it looked
like the shooter had a suppressor on his firearm, which
is a little bit unique in this day. You don't
(37:30):
you know, you don't see that happen very often. And
so a couple of the things that came to mind
on that. I think suppressors are illegal in New York City. Okay,
how do they get it? Is he from out of town?
And the other part of that is it's not super
easy to get a suppressor. You have to go through
a little bit more of an extensive background check than
(37:50):
you do for purchasing a firearm.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
So do they ask you on a on a side note,
if I can pause you right there? Sure when you
because you guys sell them there at LAPD firearms and
rains and jo Ron be't the road. But when somebody
comes in, do they ask you on the forum?
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Is it different?
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Though?
Speaker 3 (38:06):
I think forty four to seventy three is what it is.
But do they ask you and it might be a
different form for a suppressor, but do they ask you, like,
what business do you have with buying one of these?
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Or there is it a they don't ask why no.
Speaker 10 (38:18):
So actually the suppressors are still covered under the nfact.
So you go through the process of buying. When you
buy a suppressor, this same process you would as if
you were to buy a machine gun or a short
barreled rifle. So it's not done immediately in the store.
We can help with the paperwork and then it gets
submitted to the ATF and FBI. You had to submit
(38:39):
fingerprints and typically the reason there was a question that
says reason for ownership. Most often you put all lawful
purposes or for collection purposes. But they've become very popular.
They're not all that expensive, and the ATF has really
sped up the turnaround time. So it used to be
you would go to purchase one, it would literally take
(39:01):
nine months even a year sometimes to get the paperwork back.
We're seeing that paperwork return now within forty eight hours,
maybe a week sometimes, so it's really open up the
market for it. But it is they are a registered item,
so you can't just sell it to a buddy. It's
very you know, presumably we know you know, or the
(39:23):
government knows where every suppressor who owns it, because you
have to go through that.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Paperwork that is that it is very interesting.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
But the fact is, you know, when you have people
wanting to buy those, I mean, it has to enter
your mind, like, so, what do you plan on doing
with this?
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Is it just like a toy like anything else?
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Or I mean, I know you're not necessarily allowed to
ask somebody that when they come into your you know,
in your store, you're going, look, it's a sale. If
they qualify, they get past all of what they need.
Now it's sold. I'm bringing it up, you know, or whatever.
But does it make you do you ever wonder when
someone comes in and they want one? You do you think, like,
I wonder what they're going to do with this? Is
it more or less just kind of a novelty.
Speaker 10 (40:05):
Thing, a little bit of a nowe? But there is
a viable purpose form. I mean, it suppresses the sound.
It's not Hollywood silent silent in most cases. So if
you're hunting and you have a suppressor, many states encourage
it because you can, you know, shoot without hearing protection
and you're not disturbing others. If you have an outdoor
range at home, it really makes it viable not loud.
(40:29):
And then on the range too, I mean it can
really get to a point where you don't have to
hear hearing protection. So it's not most of the time
Hollywood quiet as they say. So it does. It does
have an application other than just being kind of a
cool factor.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
So, were there some things that were reported about this
eric that you noticed and you went, hang on, this
is this is not completely accurate?
Speaker 9 (40:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (40:53):
One of the things that kept coming up was they
kept saying the shooter's gun has jammed, and it you
do see clearly in the picture that he is having
to cycle that firearm each time, which is not all
that uncommon when you're talking about utilizing a suppressure, especially
on a handgun. Sometimes, if you're trying to make that
(41:16):
as quiet as possible, you can purchase subsonic ammunition. It's
very common, and that ammunition is loaded to lighter pressures
than a normal let's say nine to milimeter, and so
it makes it even quieter when you go to shoot it.
But sometimes one of the drawbacks to that is it's
not powerful enough to cycle the firearm. So it's not uncommon,
(41:39):
and you can see the shooter in this case didn't
seem surprised that every time he shot he had to
cycle the firearm, probably because it was a subsonic ammunition,
or it could have even been handloaded. Depending on his
level of knowledge on firearms, he might have loaded it
lighter to be quieter.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Is it your understanding that it was a twenty two?
I mean, I don't know how anybody figures that out right.
Speaker 10 (42:04):
I don't think everyone I've talked to, I don't think
you can determine it. My gut is it was probably
a nine millimeter. I mean, it's very common now. It's
not to say too that here, you know, he couldn't.
He could have made that suppressor. They're not all that
complicated a federal law. If you if you do that,
you know you're breaking federal law. But it's not that hard.
(42:25):
If he was intending to do something to, you know, make.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
One, he's probably not that worried about federal law since
he was killing.
Speaker 10 (42:32):
Somebody, you know, exactly exactly. But it's not uncommon. There
was even some firearms in the day. I think it
goes back to Vietnam that were intended not to cycle.
So if you imagine that if you have a you're
really trying to be quiet, you have subsign of communition. Well,
sometimes all you hear is the cycling of that firearm.
So if you keep that that slide forward when you shut,
(42:53):
it makes it even more quieter. So it's not it's
not that uncommon.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
Verstation before with the silencers, the suppressors, whatever you want
to call them. I don't have much use for them,
but I don't want to take away anybody else's right
to have them. Yeah, Frankly, if I have to pull
the trigger, I want everyone to know it. If I've
got to open fire, I want it known that I
am firing. If I'm hunting, I want it known. Hey
there's a guy one hundred yards behind you with a rifle.
I like the idea of interesting making you know that warnings. Yeah, yeah,
(43:24):
for sure.
Speaker 10 (43:25):
I agree with the chuck.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
So Eric is Eric Delbert, host of On Target, owner
of LAPD Firearms and Range. So on Saturday, you guys
have a little something special happening, correct, we do.
Speaker 10 (43:38):
We just got the word yesterday that we are actually
we typically come on noon until one on Saturdays. This Saturday, though,
we are going to be going from eleven am until one,
so a two hour show. We've talked about it a
long time and this weekend we have an opportunity to
do it, so we're super excited about that.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
Very good starts at eleven am right here on news
radios extendably, and from eleven to one it'll be on target.
You'll be there with the whole cast, the whole cast
and crew. If you will live from LAPD Firearms and Range.
You still have the uh yeah, you still have the
studio over there and all of that.
Speaker 10 (44:14):
You have the studio setup, have a little studio audience
each week.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
All right, very good man, Eric Delbert, thanks for jumping
on with us clarifying some of this stuff. Kind of
interesting with regard to suppressors and silencers, what have you.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
Kind of interesting information.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
And yeah, if you're one of those people going, really
I thought they were illegal because remember I was telling
you that when I was in your store and you
have them right there in the case like showing, and
I was like, what these are? I didn't even realize
that I was buying a couple of guns from you.
And then I was like, oh, you you actually sell
these and they're not illegal now, but you do have
to go through the process, so correct.
Speaker 10 (44:50):
Correct, Well, thanks guys, you guys be safe out there.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Thanks Eric, appreciate it. Man, you too,
