Speaker 1 (00:21):
Mark Blazer.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
With Chuck Douglas and Chuck your Bengals pulled off a
last minute Christmas present given to the Bengals last night.
They pulled off.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
It's a miracle.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well, they still had to score the touchdown with you know,
you like Jamar Chay, you love the chances there. I
don't understand the blown coverage. I saw the replay because
I didn't stay up for it, but I saw the
replay and I was like, how did he get that open?

Speaker 1 (00:48):
And that's what that's how you do.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
When you make all kinds of millions of dollars, you
somehow get open and then you scurry for that final
what was it forty yards or thirty eight yards and
ended up being the touchdown. And by the way, like
the punt that was partially blocked, so it looked Dallas
fans went from yes, dude, no think about that.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
They're like, yes, we gotta block, we gotta blow. No,
why did you touch it? What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah, that was a good game because of the suspense angle.
It really was because I watched the first half and
Cincinnati was looking pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
I thought, okay, and I told.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
The Queens since they may they may actually pull this
one out. We get into the third quarter after halftime
and I flipped channels and she you're not gonna watch them.
I'm like, no, they bingled it up. Man, They're you know,
I expected nothing. They bingled it up. And then I
wake up this morning and I hear that they won.
I'm like, oh, I've got to get online and find highlights. Now.

(01:44):
I couldn't believe it. I thought they would just fall
apart like usual.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Did you bail on it because you were really, really
tired or were you just like, man, I'm not gonna
stay up and watch.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Him lose again. No, it's a little bit of both.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Okay, you know I probably could have powered through, but yeah,
I'm man by the time ten o'clock rolls around her,
so I'm ready for bid.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Okay, mister bragger, you make it to ten o'clock, geem
any Christmas. If I'm lucky, what are you.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Doing to stay up till ten?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Because because please share with me what you're doing I'm
not kidding. I end up beating my eleven year old
to bed every night. And it's for the most part man,
just on a side note, nine o'clock, nine to fifteen.
It's almost like I somehow got I like, somehow basically
feel like I've been drugged somehow someway, and every night

(02:32):
it hits me like a ton of bricks. Sometimes in
the eighth sometimes in the eight o'clock hour, I'm like,
I'm not gonna make it, you know, I'm just like,
what's wrong.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
It's, you know, partially what we do for a living.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
The type of brain power it takes for me to
do this every day is far greater than any brain
power ever exercised before doing talk radio.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I'm not kidding, and partly.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
In tongue in cheek, but at the same time, it
is like running a marathon. That the type of an
effect that happens to me, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, it's one of those things where I when I
get home, it's.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Generally about seven thirty and you know, dinner with the
kids and it's time to get everybody to bed. At
that point it's you know, eight forty five, nine o'clock,
and really I could collapse that, but there's always stuff
that still needs to be done, so you got to
stay up and whether it's dishes, laundry, just whatever around
the house. So I'd love to go to bed at
eight o'clock. It'll be great because you keep I mean,

(03:29):
you're like five thirty, six o'clock in the morning, you're
up again, and I'm generally six six thirty. But I've
seen you message me or whatever at ridiculous hours. I'm like, well,
at least he gets up the same time I'm getting.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Up, dude, I get I That's another thing. My wife
always gives me the business she sleeps. I don't know
how she does. She sleeps in on the weekends because
she gets up pretty early. She's out of the house
by six thirty ish, six forty five, and she gets
up pretty early. And most of the time I'm right there.
I mean, I'm getting up around then too, and I
don't know how. And then on the weekend I get

(04:03):
up at the same time. Yeah, And she's always like,
why can't you sleep. I'm like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
You can't do that.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
You cannot do five days a week one and then no,
she does it somehow.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
I absolutely bely. You cannot catch up. No sleep.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
People go, ah, just catch up on myself. No, No,
you either get it when you need it or you
don't get it.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
It's science. There is no catching up. Yeah, it's science
that it will not. It doesn't happen that way anyway.
Back to the game last night. Yes, and you know
Joe Burrow while he was there, this is sad his
house was broken into.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
A sad man.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
The police recalled to his Anderson Township home report of
a break in about nine to fourteen on Monday night
last night. Hamilton County Sheriff's Office confirmed the break in.
No more details with this and I've I've got it
open right here. I was just kind of kind of
looking at that. Nine one one caller said her daughter
was staying at the home. Somebody trying to break into

(04:57):
the house.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Right now.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
My daughter's there. This is Joe Burrow. How she's staying there?
This is he's at the football game. She's wondering what
she should do. She should be hiding or should she
go outside. This is all what the caller said to
the nine one one operator. She said somebody was in
the house. The woman's daughter called nine one one, and uh,
what is going on with the computer?

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Now?

Speaker 2 (05:18):
See, this is exactly why I print stuff off. We've
talked about this before. This computer just froze like it's
depending on what website you go on. It's so mucked
up with stuff that it just freezes like it doesn't
want to.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
It's a Windows ninety eight, that's the problem. Windows they got.
They got to upgrade that.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
I'm trying to scroll to the Oh my gosh, I
gets the frozen.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
You know, We've had a lot of these stories celebrities
and athletes over the past three months or so where
houses are getting broken into, and you have to wonder,
first of all, where's the security. I would think these
are the kind of people who would have, you know,
security personnel as well as security systems and cameras and
alarms and all that kind of stuff. How are these
celebrity and the athlete homes being broken into like this?

(06:01):
It's it's not been infrequent, like I said, with the
past three months or so, and in Burrows house, I
have no idea, but I'm assuming it's probably very large.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
I would guess.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Frankly, with that kind of money and that kind of celebrity,
you probably have a panic room, someplace you can go
to be safe. Why a young girl would be left
at your house to watch it while you're in Texas
and doesn't have access to that.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Room is beyond me. It's just a weird story.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
The other part of this is he had police there
on site, and that might be I don't know, that
could be the girl that they're referencing, because I was
told by pretty good source that it was a female
officer who was there. Now, she wouldn't be calling. So
now that I'm and I'm doing this real time, clearly,

(06:52):
now that I'm thinking about it, No, it had to
be somebody else.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
There, like he had special duty working. He absolutely did.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
According to Yeah, he had an officer there on his
property and this person these people broke in.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Now.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
I don't know if they're connected somehow, because Travis Kelsey's
house was broken into during a game. I believe Patrick Mahomes,
I think, dude, you think about the type of homes these.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
People live in, right, That's what I'm saying. They've got
to be fortresses and well protected. But we're seeing a
lot of these happening over the past few months.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
I'll tell you what I would I would if I
had a large home like that, I'd have definitely a
couple of of course you gotta like dogs, but i'd
have a couple of Doberman's. I mean, I would have
the lads if you will from Magnum. Oh yeah, I'd
have the lads, a couple of those, maybe even a
German shepherd on you know, maybe even a third. Because

(07:47):
if you have a huge home, no big deal to
have three big dogs in there. Sometimes they are just
as good as far as sounding and alarm.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
That's what they were for.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Well, what you want, though, is one the alarm is
sound if somebody comes in, you know. Unfortunately, your dogs
may get shot in that situation. Yeah uh oh, but
they're gonna be fearless and they're gonna they're gonna help
you out.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Lupo would be at the top of the stairs going charge,
my brother in charge. But that's the Aztecs or the Incas,
I forget who it was. But Chihuahuas would travel the
old kingdom palaces or whatever impacts because they're huge ears.
They heard everything and if somebody came in, they would
attack like piranha.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
So that was funny. That was their purpose.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Yeah, I just I would have a whole bunch of chihuaas,
plus I like chiuaua's.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
They are.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
This is funny. I think the battery just died in
that mouse that runs with this computer.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
You think it's a double A. Somebody please bring a
double A up to the station.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
If I had my laptop bag, I could help you out,
but I don't have it with me. I carry batteries
for my mice. Yeah, we'll have somebody in engineering take out.
What are your double a's. You can run on a couple.
You don't need all three to make yourself run to you.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
I don't even know what man, I don't even know
what the login is for this computer.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
This is a mess. Sorry.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
I just I just bought forty eight double A batteries
like three nights ago too.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, it's a good deal.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Double a's and triple a's forty eight in the pack
for like twenty eight bucks or nineteen ninety nine something
like that.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Hey, Aaron, welcome to the show. You a Bengals fan.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
I'm not a a Steelers fan.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Oh okay, good for you.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
Well, I'll tell you it's it's too bad that you
guys didn't see the fight.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
My new job.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
I get home now at like nine o'clock. So I
got home and I flipped on the game and it's
twenty to twenty going into the fourth court. I'm like,
all right, new game. Great, right, So I'm watching the game.
It goes into overtime, and you know, the Cowboys came
down and they couldn't do anything. So then the Bengals, no,

(09:58):
it was getting ready to go into overtime, and uh,
they came down and scored and the Cowboys offense just
could do nothing, nothing for four plays. And I'll tell you, man,
the look on Jerry Jones's face, there is nothing sweeter
than the look on that guy's face when they lose
at home.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Man, it is it is particular.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
You know.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
I don't care that it was the Bengals. I don't
mind the Bengals. I live in Ohio. But I'll tell
you well, seeing him lose on Monday night in his stadium, Yep,
it's not too bad.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Brot. What's going on?

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Well, you got the cheerleaders that can't happen. Remember when
they were legendary, the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Oh yeah, Well one of them is dating the kicker
for the Bengals, you know, kicked last night. No, no,
it was on the it was on Good Day Columbus
this morning. They were they even spotlighted it and they
showed her he had three successful kicks. Again, I'm not
one or two of them. Uh well, I can't remember
if he kicked any field goal or it was just

(11:00):
all extra points. They they actually cut to her and
she's out there cheering, and they stopped and they're watching
and she mouth, thank God that he made the kick.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Oh. So the backup kicker, the one who's in for for.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yes, whoever that is, Yeah, the guy who kicked last night,
I don't I don't know when.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
He is down sick right now. So they had his
a second backup kicker in for him last night.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, man. And so he's dating one of the cowboy cheerleader.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
She's going to have to become a BEng gal pretty soon,
because really, you know, the cowboys aren't going to put
up with that kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Well, if they there's that's got to be out there
somewhere that uh you know that, and they have to
have seen that and they go, hey, that's a bad look. Yeah,
you know you're you're saying thank God, when are the
opposition is scoring on us? Your your allegiance has to
be to whom you're cheering for, right, you would think?

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Anyway, Hey, David, welcome to the show. Thanks for listening.

Speaker 6 (11:58):
Hey, I don't know if you guys this on the news,
but I've seen it was the Detroit's Police Department. I
don't know if it's the chief that was speaking or
a special unit, but they have formed a task force
up there. They're saying that this is a very very
organized group that's going around doing this in that area.

(12:19):
They're hitting many of the athletes and the really affluent neighborhoods,
and they were saying that there are probably fifty crews
of two or three people in a crew that are
going around and they're using electronics to disable the security systems,
I mean, the whole work. They did say that it's

(12:43):
not American, it's and I can't I'm driving, so I
can't research it, but they said that it was a
foreign Uh.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, I heard Cartels. I heard cartel.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
David, Yes, yeah, yeah, How do you think about this?

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Not only do they need to have the manpower and
the resources to get in the house, they need to
know where all these celebrities live, David, thanks, Yeah, that
means they've got some intel going on. I mean, we've
had people living in Central Ohio that are celebrity. I
have no idea where their houses were. I didn't even
know where Tressell lived. It's it's it's not like public

(13:16):
knowledge for everybody.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Not necessarily public knowledge. But if you if you look,
it doesn't take it doesn't take a lot to get
it figured out where exactly they kind of live. Here's
the thing. Most of them the way and to your point,
where they're living. Not so hard figuring that out. It's
you would think that it would be complicated getting to
their front door, and it depends on what kind of

(13:40):
money they're worth and how high a profile they are
all of those things. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, that's that
is the That's the thing with that, like you know,
it gets he gets broken into while he's there, and
they you know, but I think also now, like I
told you, Travis Kelsey I believe, and also Patrick Mahone.
I'm pretty sure Kelsey, I think they got like twenty

(14:02):
grand in cash something like that. It's just like, well,
where was that like what was that into like a sock?
Drawer or like what you know, what what kind of
thing was going on with that? I don't I don't know,
but I can tell you this based on now this
becoming a quote unquote thing. Well, anybody now in the
NFL where it's easy to tell, okay, they're at a game,

(14:23):
they're going to beef up their security now. Yes, so
whomever did this, if it is the cartel, if it
is you know, whatever is out there, supposedly the you know,
the the gang or the group that is doing this,
game is over, game over because they're they're not gonna
be able to do it anymore. Everyone's gonna step up.
So it's not going to be nobody there or next

(14:44):
to nobody there. Everyone's going to step up their security
game now. So that whole it's like, well that well
dried up quickly for those guys if you ask me.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
But and it's not.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
They're not saying what was taken either from Joe Burrow's
place last night, So well, yeah, I know this.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
It wasn't a Super Bowl ring that they.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Still shut off to the traffic. I don't even want
to talk to you now, sorry, man, I love you.

Speaker 7 (15:10):
Truth traffic, weather, sports and the Mark Blazer Show on
six ' ten to leave TVN.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
All right, I I, oh, yeah, we have a chief meteorologist,
Marshal mcpete.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Who who's right here? Marshall? You know they got Yeah, Marshall,
I don't want to talk. You've never heard of him.
Now wait a minute.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
The guy I'm saying, wait, Marshall, you can't say you
never heard of you. I'm so confused, says she's never
been to me. So he could say I've never heard
of him. I guess something like that. Uh so, uh yeah, Marshall,
We've got what I don't know, a few more hours
of Well, first of all, is the rain going to stop?

(15:56):
I hope because it's it's extra dreary these first two.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Days of the week this week, so.

Speaker 8 (16:03):
So it will indeed stop as.

Speaker 9 (16:05):
It changes into some snow showers. Well, I'm okay with that.
At this time of year is why I.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Didn't want to talk to him.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
No, no, no, seriously, this time of year, I'd rather
then that we're teetering. Well no, no, I'm not quite
teetering because it's forty eight right now. But like when
you start getting close to the that cold and then
the wind starts whipping up and it's not cold enough
to snow, but it's raining.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
That is absolutely miserable to you. It is.

Speaker 9 (16:31):
It's that cold rain that's just the worst. And that's
kind of where we are at the moment. I mean,
even though it's it's in the forties, but it's still
feeling colder than that because of the wind. Tonight, we'll
drop to thirty two, so some of this turns into
a little bit of rain snow mix, even a few
snow showers. Could get some slick spots overnight tonight and
Wednesday morning. Wednesday, during the day we only get to

(16:51):
thirty six, so the temperatures are really only going to
move a few degrees during the day, slick spots are
still possible. I think some of this turns back into
some snow during the afternoon and evening, and you could
get a patchy half inch here and there. But I
think your bigger issue on Wednesday is gonna be this
extra front that comes through Wednesday night. Boy, is it

(17:13):
gonna get cold after that. It is gonna bring in
some Arctic air. So Wednesday night we drop to eighteen.
Wind chills are gonna be in the single digits. Thursday
Thursday is a day that you look out the window
and you say, wow, it's a beautiful day. The sun
is out, the sky is blue. And then you open
the door and you find thirty mile per hour wind

(17:34):
gusts and wind chills in the teens and you say, nope,
I'm going back to bit. So Thursday look like a
nice day, but the high is only gonna be about
twenty six. Friday we get a mix of sun and
clouds with a high near thirty eight rain this weekend.
All right, marshall, thank you, it's forty eight right now.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
You know.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
With the rain this weekend too, I mean we're back
into the mid and upper forties, going back even into
next week two. So it's not like we're just gona
have one day a blast of winter and then you'll
go right back to kind of here's the thing this,
you know, going into us we're approaching Christmas. I want
things to cool off, so the ground gets colder and

(18:13):
so on, because that way we'll at least have half
of a chance of having a white Christmas. Now that
and a few dollars will get you cup of coffee
down street.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
So but it's just.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
It's a preference I heard twenty percent chance at this
point yesterday that might already start. That might have been
Andrew Buckmichael who said he thought we had about a
twenty percent chance of a white Christmas.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
I don't understand how they're trying to, especially in Ohio
this far.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Out gambling in Ohio.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Now, maybe there's some kind of gambling platform where you
can bet that.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
I don't know, and we're fifteen days out.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
I mean I get that they can see kind of
a trend or what have you, but hey, we were
talking about streaming. Also over the weekend, we went to
the theater and some people are like, what is the
name we're at? My my in laws had their Christmas
kind of get together with some family friends and so
on over the weekend, and we brought up that we

(19:09):
had seen the day before, because that was on Sunday.
We saw went to UH on Saturday, went to the
movies and we saw Red One, which is did you say,
you you know what I'm talking about?

Speaker 1 (19:22):
It? Yeah? JK.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Simmons is Nick, Saint Nick. He's he plays Santa Claus
the Rock is in it. And then the bad guy
is Chris Evans. Well he starts out a bad guy,
if you will, dude, this movie is your your your
grandsons would would love this movie, I'm telling you. And
it's going to start streaming on Thursday. So we only

(19:46):
got you know, less than what. Uh it's going to
be on Prime.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
There you go. I'm good. M Yeah, the.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Theatrical run is going to continue, but it's going to
start streaming on Prime. Do yourself a favor if you
like Christmas movies, and especially this one's a little different.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
I mean there's not.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
And then his brother in the movie, Crampis is his brother,
at Nick's brother, sat Nick's brother, and he's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
The whole thing.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
It's got, you know, some really great undertones to the
whole the whole message. I don't know, man, it's just
really it's just really a good kind of feel good
at the very end of the movie, when the way
things kind of end and and all of that. But yeah,
it's uh, I don't even know where. I hadn't even
heard of this movie until it was brought up to

(20:37):
me like Saturday morning. I'm like, you guys, we have
nothing going on today. You guys want to go to
the go to the movies. They are like, what are
we going to see. So then I started looking at
one of the movies. Uh, Jude Law has a new
movie out, and I was like, maybe this one. So
then I started watching the previews. I'm like, nah, that
one doesn't feel right. And then I was like Red One,
what is that about? And I sorted I watched the trailer.

(20:59):
I'm like, let's roll the dice and go to this one.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
Is it something that you think might be considered a
Christmas classic in a few years, possibly Flash in the
Pan movie?

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Possibly. I mean it's it's not you know, we haven't
had one of those in a long time. Yeah, I
mean it's yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
I don't know about a classic. I'll say that, but
I will tell you that I think your grandsons would
like it. I think you would like it. It's actually
very good. The Jim Carrey Grinch I did not like. Yeah,
I'm not a fan of helf, which is really odd.
I think the last one that I said, I go,
I will go see that over and over again is
probably the Santa Claus tim Allen.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
But I don't know. There's just nothing that sticks with
me for Christmas anymore. When it comes to entertainment stuff.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
It's fun They go a little deeper in this one.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
You know how the North Pole is set up and
how you access, how Sanna gets in and out, and
it's just it's really it's interesting the type of stuff
that they added to it just to kind of give
it and it's you know, I don't know. The little
kid in me was like, I wanna, I wanna, I
want to get into this and I did you know?

Speaker 1 (22:03):
It was really you got those little trigger things? Do
you already go?

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Is there a Christmas song? It's instantly Christmas when you
hear it.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah, the Christmas song which is chestnuts right roasting on
the open fowel. Yeah, that's yeah, absolutely, And there's been
good versions since that one, but that's the one that
it gets me. Man As a matter of fact, in
what is the Leo DiCaprio move Catch Me if you can?
Do you remember when his he's like looking in after

(22:34):
he escapes from Tom Hanks.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
They're coming back. Have you seen that movie? I've seen it, yes,
years ago.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
But he escapes coming back. They they extra died him
back from Paris, not Paris, but from France. He was
over there and then they were bringing him back and
he is he gets away, and he goes to his
parents' house and he's looking through the window at them,
and that song is playing, and uh, it just I
don't know, there's just something about that song that is

(23:01):
just it gets me that Christmas.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
If I want, if I want happy Christmas, you know,
the good jolly mood. It is the I think it's
the New York phil Harmonic, if I'm not mistaken, their
rendition of sleigh Ride, okay, which is just you know,
dunt dunt dunt, dun't, don't dun't.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
I can't.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
As soon as I hear it, I'm bouncy and happy.
Now NAT's Christmas song? Of course, if you want to
be sentimental and cuddle lye on the couch and going,
oh it's been a long year or whatever, that's a
great song. But sleigh Ride is the one that actually
that makes me bouncy and happy if I'm in the
car winner, Yeah, I don't know something about the momentum

(23:36):
of that song.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
You're right together with you.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
It's going to be eighteen degrees overnight. So I don't
want that for a Christmas. Bring me a heater and
a sweater and a real big hat and some gloves
and some gloves. I will need some gloves. Make sure
they are wall and the Marshall McPeek renditions so good.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
I love it.

Speaker 7 (23:58):
The Mark Pleaser Show, Taste the Rainbow. Yeah, sound like
something substry.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Say, thanks, Zach, Zach Attackus.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Gave me some skittles you can tease Serene boo.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
Dude, I smell the sunshine? Okay, what color is forever?
Don't look at me like that. I'm not on anything
except coffee.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
I just looked up and saw they were taking this
Luigi Mangioni. They were taking him into court, I guess,
and he was screaming something and I'm not sure exactly
what it was, but we'll get to that here in
just a little bit. Don Mahalak is joining us now
ABC News law enforcement contributor and retired senior Secret Service agent,

(24:55):
and Don, welcome again to the Mark Blazer Show. How
you been sir?

Speaker 4 (24:59):
Good Mark? And I love the Van Halen Bumper music.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yes, it's one of my, uh the top three favorite
bands of all time, maybe even my favorite. So yeah,
I have thank you for pointing that out. And yeah,
that's a that's a good one. Using a drill at
the beginning of that in Eddie van Halen's pickups, so
he can get that sound.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Yeah, I love it. It is really really good stuff.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
So I like this when if you see something, say,
something pays off in this uh, in this situation and
all kinds of different stuff is beginning to kind of
develop with this Luigi Mangioni and uh being now I
believe he's been charged with this or is it?

Speaker 1 (25:45):
What is? Do you know the very latest on that?
By chance?

Speaker 4 (25:49):
Yeah, so you know he was transitting on a bus
and they stopped in Altoona. He got off the bus
apparently walked into McDonald to buy something that he had
a mask on. Because post co with everybody's afraid to
challenge anybody wearing a mask, which is ironic because before COVID,
if you were a mask in public places, it was
actually considered a crime in many places. So one of

(26:11):
the alert employees and a mcdonald'sho's being held as a
hero right now, saw him recognize his photo from the
photos we've all seen across the news. They called Altuna Police.
Altuna Police rolled up, grabbed him, identified him as a
potential suspect. He had a gun, a silencer, some writings
on him the fake Jersey ID he used in New

(26:33):
York City to check into the hostel, so they detained him.
They contacted NYPD. NYPD sent some detectives out there. But
right now he's being held on a Pennsylvania state charges
of gun possession an fee leagal ID or fake ID,
and being a part of having elements of a crime

(26:55):
in his possession. So he's being held on a Pennsylvania
state charge, supposed to go for an extradition hearing to
New York because I'm sure the New York the A's Office,
if they haven't already, is going to file charges against
him in New York, which I'm sure Pennsylvania then will
not wave off. But I'm sure they'll extradite him to
New York to face the homicide charges in New York.

(27:17):
But then Pennsylvania might get a piece of him down
a road too.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Yeah, it's interesting too, the angle of you know you
doing this report with regard to the digital distribution got
Mangioni's photo to the masses and quick identification as a result,
because you couldn't really look at anything social media of course,
anything on TV as far as news goes, and all

(27:41):
that without seeing at least a partial this guy's face. Partially,
we didn't really see any full face. There might have
been some of that out there, but you know, you
saw part of that. But now he's gaining sympathizers as well.
And what are your thoughts on that.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
Well, I think it's pret he said that anybody would
sympathize with somebody that commits cold blood and murder. And
this is where the Internet can be both a plus
and a minus. So you have the fact that we
were able to socialize the individuals fared across the Internet,
across news media streams, almost everybody had some type of
a photo of this individuals. They could help identify them,

(28:20):
which was critical in this case because they had the
workforce and I had to piece video footage together and
had to do some video enhancements to get some clear
resolution photos to pass out to the community. But separately,
you know you've got the dark corners of the Internet
or people who are sapstetic, because let's face is, there's
a lot of people have battles with their healthcare companies
and a lot of corners of the nation. Healthcare is

(28:43):
a tough thing for people to access and there's some
real negative feelings against the healthcare industry. But irrespective of that,
you have an individual who was working hard, who was
minding his own business, who was cold blood assassinated on
the streets of Manhattan in the middle of the DA
and that is unacceptable and wrong any which way you

(29:04):
slice it.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Hey, So, based on your training and so on, when
you look at the video of the way that this
played out, people talk about his gun jammed, they're calling
it a ghost gun. At this point, do you have
thoughts on that stuff? Because is it really a ghost
gun because he put it together. I mean, we know,
I guess at this point they're saying there's no serial

(29:26):
number or something along the lines that he built the gun.
Do you think that's the correct terminology, like calling it
a ghost gun? And I know we're kind of we
might be splitting hairs a little bit here, But what
was your assessment when you watched that video, given your
training and so on.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
Done so, one thing that was clear is he clearly
did some level of planning to commit this attack. I
mean his attack strategy, his mapping of the subject's movements,
his waiting, his escape plan. Clearly he did some extensive planning.
I think he lays some of that out in this
notebook or this manifest so that they found he talks

(30:01):
about the planning he did or what things he did
in order to execute this crime. As far as the
weapon itself, it's considered a ghost gun from my understanding
and from some of the reporting, because there's no serial
number on the gun. So a weapon with no serial
number is generally considered a ghost gun by the ATF
because of the fact there's no way to track the firearm.

(30:22):
From what I've seen in the fire doos, this is
purely just my observations, and I could be totally off face.
It looks like a block type weapon with a silencer,
and he probably had some problems firing the weapon. Looking
at the video, just because maybe the silencer and the
weapon itself didn't match up right and caused some jamming.
I'm no expert and fire arms itself, but just from

(30:43):
my experience in training, that's what it looked like to me,
So it's going to be So the gun is considered
a ghostume because the inability to track it backwards.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Right retired senior Secret Service agent and ABC News Law
enforcement contributor Donaholliken, Don, we'll cut you list. I know
you got a bunch of the he's a bunch of
different people to talk to you today, but we appreciate you.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Jumping on man.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
Thank you, thanks for having me Mark.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
You got it, Don, thank you. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
So there it is from a guy who has had
a lot of training, and it clearly was you know,
as far as that goes a senior Secret Service agent,
He's been around these kind of situations and people who
do this kind of stuff for It's interesting to hear
his kind of take on that.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
I didn't want to interrupt him because he's an ABC
News contributor, but from another recognized national news source, they're
referring to the gun as a three D printed gun.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Now I heard that they're they're speculating or they are
confirmed that they are saying of a three D printed
handgun and silencer that Altuna officers found in his backpack.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
They're not saying believe to be.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
They are saying it is okay, So that you know,
that would explain the whole ghost gun reference. And apparently
while he was in the courtroom, he did say he's
challenging his extradition to New York. Thirty days is what
the Pennsylvania judge has given them to get their extradition
paperwork together. So we could be looking at two months
before this geek is back in New York City facing

(32:07):
I actually want Alvin Bragg to get his hands on him.
Let's let him be zealous about somebody who needs to
be zealous. But we could be looking at it a
couple of months before he leaves Pennsylvania and goes back
to New York.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Well, also, what I think is interesting about this story.
We've heard Altoona a lot, Altuona in Pennsylvania, the McDonald's
and Altoona. And as this whole thing kind of went down,
it was somebody who saw something and said something at
this McDonald's in Altuna, somebody that works there. Will they

(32:36):
get the reward money? Now we talked to just quickly
about it yesterday ten thousand. I also saw there was
another reward I think of fifty thousand and so a
couple of different entities were offering that from what I
read earlier today, And.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
It was a single employee at the McDonald's that made
this call. Yeah, so yeah, they should get whatever reward
was offered.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Well, look he gave them information that led to the
arrest of the guy boom that checks all the boxes.
So he better be getting that much. It's gonna be
a merry Christmas for him. What kind of I bring
this up, because now what happened was people jumped on
yelp and started.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
Trashing this McDonald's.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Stop it, and they did, and for turning him in.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
So what they've done is, according to this article, the
recurring theme for the.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Reviews is rats. That this McDonald's is infested with rats.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Is in you know, rat bastards, people who rat people out,
if you will.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
And this guy called because he thought he recognized this guy.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
And so people are It took a while, but I
believe Yelp has since taken down what was put up
about this particular McDonalds. Think about this for a second.
If you own a McDonald's or a couple of those,
typically people who own those usually own several of those McDonald's,
and you know those viewsed that is that could be

(34:02):
the life's blood or the downfall of your business. That
stuff is for real. And so people jumped on there
and started doing that full of rats, untrustworthy staff. Nobody
stays in their Lane. Somebody said mcdiarrhea of the mouth here.
Somebody else wrote, would not recommend unsafe food served by

(34:23):
unsafe people. Curious what insurance plans employees get working there
at McDonald's. I mean, this McDonald's location is dealing with
a serious rat problem. They have rats working the register.
This is all on.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
Yelp, and people will post this kind of garbage out
there on social media with absolutely no fear of any
repercussion at all. And that's cool. No, it's not. It's not.
Somebody did the right thing, and you know, we have
GoFundMe started for everything under the sun. Somebody had started
gofund me for that employee and get them a million
dollars so they can just move somewhere and live comfortably

(34:58):
without having to deal with that.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Crap and now tuna, that's a great idea.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yeah, just you know, they did the right thing and
they should never have to regret that.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
So this statement pops up when you go to that page.
The business recently received increased public attention often means people
come to this page to post their views on the news.
While we don't take a stand one way or another
when it comes to this incident, we've temporarily disabled the
posting of content to this page as we work to investigate.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
Blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
So it says, if you're here to leave a review
based on a first hand experience with the business, you
got to check back later now because they've ruined it
for anybody who has a legitimate review. At this point,
they call this review bombing. I didn't even know it
had a name, but that makes sense, right when it's
called review bombing. And this store led to Yelp showing
a one star rating for this location, and then poor

(35:47):
reviews continue anywhere that somebody is able to leave a
review about this Altoona McDonald's. They are doing it simply.

Speaker 10 (35:55):
Because this guy helped catch this guy who gunned down
this CEO on the streets in cold blood like a
dog shot him right on the street.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Man guy's got a family and everything else. And I
I if people we've talked about this, If people feel
that way, you're allowed to feel that way. It's America, Jack.
You can feel any way you want, But you can't
just be the judge, jury.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
And executioner. You just can't.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
And then don't go on there trash and this McDonald's either.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
It sucks and all those people, you know, you want
to care about the people. The people are important. These
big corporations they stink it. Okay, So how many people
are in there working at McDonald's job trying to feed
their kids, take care of their family, and pay their bills.
Now nobody wants to go there because they're intimidated scared
of the crap you posted on social media. What favor

(36:46):
did you do the people by doing something like that
Mark Glaser.

Speaker 8 (36:49):
Show on six ' TENUTV.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
My Weather.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
There could be a new put Hey so uh, the
che cheese plan for Ohio is unknown at this point,
which we will get to straight ahead.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
See I know.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
I was like, it's kind of an update if you will,
because chee Cheese is coming back and Chief Meteorologist Marshall
McPeek joining us.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Marshall, were you ever a fan of chee cheese?

Speaker 8 (37:22):
Big fan?

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (37:24):
You remember the fried ice cream?

Speaker 9 (37:25):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (37:26):
Yes, yeah? Happy, happy, happy birthday?

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Happy, Yeah, my gosh, I had that happened twice. I
hated that. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (37:34):
As long as they don't put that giant umbrera on
your head that's had everybody else's had in it.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Yeah, you got the saucea dripping from your mouth, and
all of a sudden they come around everybody in the
restaurants looking at you, and you're going, oh my gosh,
where's the napkin?

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Yeah, bad timing every time. Yeah, those were the days.
I love that.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
I and yeah there's sombrero thing. You know what, Marshall.
I never really thought about it like that, and now
I can never not think about it like that, going, uh,
let me put a napkin over my head first before
you don't.

Speaker 8 (38:03):
Put that on my head.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not that's not fun.

Speaker 8 (38:09):
But no, the food was great.

Speaker 9 (38:10):
We used to we used to our our Spanish class
from high school used to come. That was our field
trip really, and the idea was you were supposed to
order in Spanish. But when you do that, the servers
didn't speak Spanish, so they didn't know.

Speaker 8 (38:24):
But you know, that was that was our our field trip.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
That's a good time, man, I'll tell you.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
I we go to uh Senor Antonio's is like our
favorite my my family.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
We go there a lot.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
It's the one over it's off twenty three over in
the Lewis Center area, and they all speak Spanish there,
you know, as a matter of fact, when we went
and uh, this was we got back from Mexico, and
I was telling them my the one people that are
up front, super super sweet people that run that place

(38:58):
and own it and all of that. And I was
telling them I was there, and then they called like
two of the servers over who have like a bunch
of family in Los Cabos, so they like came over.
They were like telling them like he was just and
then they were like, uh, then they started asking me
questions about what we did when we were there, and
I was like and they knew the resort and all
of that.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
It was really really.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Cool, but kind of the opposite of what you were
talking about with regards like everybody there speaks. As a
matter of fact, if I could order like that, I would.
It would be you know, very very easy at that point.
And they would love you for it.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
They would, They absolutely.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
Would, because I'm always like, eh, you know grassias, you know,
and just like little stuff like that, and uh, and
they they're very kind. They don't basically go shut up,
don't act like you know how to you know what
I mean. Like, they're very very nice.

Speaker 8 (39:47):
They're accommodating, to say the least.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Yes, exactly.

Speaker 8 (39:50):
We have some on and off rain showers out there
at the moment.

Speaker 9 (39:53):
There's likely a pretty good chance that's going to turn
into some scattered snowshowers later tonight.

Speaker 8 (39:58):
As we dropped down around thirty two.

Speaker 9 (40:00):
You might have some slick spots first thing in the morning,
could even have a few overnight tonight. Bridges and overpasses,
as usual, are the big culprits in that Wednesday. Some
rain mixed with snow, some snow showers that might leave
a little bit behind, especially in the later part of
the day. But more importantly are the wind gusts up
to thirty miles per hour, because it is going to
bring in some very cold air, so that the overnight

(40:23):
lows into Thursday morning are in the teens. Wind chills
will be in the single digits Thursday sunshine, but a
high of only twenty six degrees.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
All right, marshall, thank you very much. Forty eight Right now,
you know where New Richmond, Ohio is? I do not
is anywhere near Old Richmond, Ohio? Yes, okay, no, I
have no idea. Don't know where either. There was a
it's an Ohio Public school, and there's a teacher there
that's taking the district to court. And I don't know

(40:54):
if you saw this story, but she was suspended for
having books in her class library with LGBTQ plus characters.
So Karen Cahal, I think that's how you say her name.
She is New Richmond exempted Village School District teacher for
more than thirty years. She's saying. The superintendent there, Tracy Miller,

(41:20):
suspended her for three days without pay. She had four
different books with the LGBTQ characters in her third grade
classroom third grade. She said these books were among a
hundred other books and were not displayed prominently in the classroom.
So I got intrigued when I got that far into

(41:42):
the article because I was like, Okay, let's see if
there's a leg for this teacher to stand on here,
because typically when they begin kind of defending what they
were doing, especially someone who's been at it for thirty years,
might begin to think like, well, I'm allowed to do
certain things as long as i'm not whatever. And I thought,

(42:03):
in my head, I go, if the school district had
specifically said you are not allowed to have, you don't
have a leg to stand on, you were not supposed
to have those in your classroom. So she maintained that
these books in her classroom in furtherance of her sincerely
held moral and religious beliefs that all children, including children

(42:25):
who are LGBTQ or the children of parents who are LGBTQ,
deserve to be respected, accepted, and love for who they are.
I one thousand percent agree with that. Why wouldn't they
be loved? They need to be loved. Absolutely. I feel
like it's the angle that they take saying they're being
disparaged somehow because I can't have these books in my classroom,

(42:50):
and I almost feel like that's where she was going
with this. So this has been This is filed on
December second in the Southern District of a There's where
they filed this. The four books on On the Edge,
The Fabulous Zed Watson, Hazel blyh and The Deep Blue Sea,
and Too Bright to See They were not required reading

(43:14):
for students, so she did not include them within her
instructional programming. This is part of the lawsuit which they're
kind of bringing out now. She argued that none of
the four books who be described as obscene or offensive,
and that none described sexual conduct or activity. The books
deal with characters who are LGBTQ and are coming to

(43:34):
terms with feeling different. See this is this is for me.
This is like these little drips and drabs. It's it's
how it begins to kind of seep in based on
and so this is a as you can see, like
a pretty long article which I'm not going to sit
here and read the whole thing stated or prel what

(43:57):
I was getting. So the suit is challenging that the
policy's constitutionality, arguing it fails to outline what materials a
New Richmond teacher is allowed to have in their classroom
and does not define what constitutes a quote controversial issue.
But in a notification letter, the superintendent said that this

(44:20):
teacher knew that the books were not acceptable because this
teacher asked for them to be placed in the library
and it was denied. So she had already tried to
put these four books in the school library and they
said no, those books are not allowed.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
To be here.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
So then she secretly puts them in her class third
grade classroom.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
Right, she loses right there.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
And that to me, as I started reading this, I go,
let me see if she has a leg to stand on.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
She does not.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
She has no leg to stand on, and so the
letter is also why the superintendent believes that this teacher's
actions were intentional and argued she should have understood the
values that many hold based on her experience in the community.
Then the teacher tries to turn that around and go, well,
the community's values are different now than what they used

(45:12):
to be, and trying to argue it's just like, no,
you're dead to rights here. You tried to have these
put in the library and you were told nah, baby, nah, you.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
Can't have them in here. They're not supposed to be
in the school.

Speaker 3 (45:23):
It's not even that I agree with the situation, it's
that the situation is what it is.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
The school already said no period.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
Now, if you want to challenge that in court, that's fine, right,
But to defy because you think you know better than
the district leadership, Yep, no, you lose that. There are
plenty of books that could be banned. Will you take
Tom Sowyer and Huckleberry Finn out of every school? There's
a lot of objectionable stuff in both those books. Do
you want to do? You want to Well, they're in

(45:50):
the classroom they're not mandatory reading. Well, recreational weed is
legal in the state of Ohio. Can you have a
jar on your desk? Kids aren't smoking it, they're not
touching it, they're not ingesting it. But can you have
ajar weed sitting on your desk? Right, whether it's legal
in the state of Ohio or not, there are some things
that are just practical and common sense needs to take over.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
Quit being litigious and just do what makes sense right.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
And it sounds to me too like she knew since
she had tried to have these in the library. We
told and then she's like, well, I'm just gonna kind
of bury them in my classroom. And then they were
discovered and now she was put on she's three days
without pay, and now she's turning around and sueing them
on the constitutionality of it. It's like, listen, you were
told that's the school's policy, and I'm with you. I
