Speaker 1 (00:00):
And what's weird is like during the break, not weird,
but during the break you were watching Rodney Dangerfield, yes,
which I just found kind of random that you were
doing that. But it just made me think, I'm like,
he is one of what did he say the breastfeeding
when it.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Was he goes a story of my life, no respect.
I was an ugly kid, not to cut the cord.
And then he hung himself. How I was so ugly?
My mother breastfed me with a stroll. So here's the
kid my dad didn't like. My dad didn't like my
looks either. He kept the picture of the kid that
came with the wallet. It's great, Like, dude, it's just like,
(00:42):
oh my gosh, I'm just knowing these Rodney Dangerfield stories
about like here he is, like all the way into
his eighties. And I forget who it was. There was
a comedian that was telling this story on a podcast
to Bobby I think was Bobby Lee's podcast or something
like that, and he's just Rodney Dangerfield gets out of
(01:03):
the hospital. He's got all this stuff wrong with him,
you know, and you know, just checks himself.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Out kind of towards the end. Towards the end, he's eighty.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
He shows up at at a comedy club with two
hookers on each arm, and you know, he's all he's
all coked up. And I'm not I'm not saying that,
like I'm not bragging about that. I'm not advocating for
cocin hores. I trust me this, but it's just to
kind of paint the picture. He's eighty, He goes, and
(01:34):
I got Rodney, what the hell are you doing? Man?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
You're on your way out? He goes. If I'm on
my way out, I'm going to party.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Name another eighty year old with an eighth ball and
two holes on his side.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I mean, I was just like he lived like all
really fast the end of his life. He literally is
just like, I'm going out my way.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I don't care anymore. I think that's what happened with
Chris Farley too. Yeah, you know, it was not that
he meant to die, But I feel like those guys
are like, I'm gonna I'm not gonna conform.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I'm just gonna do it how I do it kind
of thing. You know.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Chris Farley's so tragic because if he he could have been,
if he could have gotten a hold of his demons,
and god knows everybody around him tried all former SNL
cast members and and all of his friends and family,
but there was.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Just no hold that guy back.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
He could have gone down as one of the greatest
comedic fault like physical comedy actors of all time. He's
still kind of is.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
He's still kind of is. His catalog is so.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Limited because you know, he was in Wayne's world.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Tommy Boy is one of the greatest.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
He Tommy Boy, Black Sheep, Beverly Hills, Ninja, and the
other one I remember is a Dirty Work, which was
at a Neil uh Nor McDonald ye and uh you know,
because the joke was in that one he starts screaming
about the Sygon whore who bit his nose off, and
(03:05):
and the and then he ends up and at the
end they end up together and like getting married or
something like that. But those are about like the only
six movies I even have.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Of like Chris Chris Farley.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
But then all his skits, the you know, the he's
the motivational speaker, I mean those those, all of those skits.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
He was brilliant. And that's living in a van down
by the river.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, and he was he was a second City guy too,
out of Chicago, and and it was, uh, it was.
It's so sad the way that that all happens like that.
But like we've talked about a million times, the the comedic,
the comedy, the people, the comedians there, it seems like
the funnier they are, the more tortured they are, the
(03:48):
more dark because that comes out of darkness.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
No, absolutely, it does. As a matter of fact. I
mean some of my favorite comedians of all time. You know,
you look at all Mitch Hebberg, Tedburgh was there was
nobody been like him, couldn't kick the demons of addiction?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Did.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Greg Giraldo one of the funniest. I actually saw him
live once back in the day.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
He's gone.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I mean, you just go down the list of these guys,
and you're right, darkness breeds. If you can't, if you
live in darkness, sometimes you just gotta laugh at it, right, right,
I think that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Did you happen to see any of these mysterious planes
that had the banners, because that's the way they're framing
it in this story.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
That I did not see it. Now, I didn't see
him either.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I didn't see any of them either mysterious planes touting
banners that seemingly derided an unfaithful romantic partner with the
initials l W, and they flew over downtown Columbus for
several days this week.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, I hadn't.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Not only had I not seen them, I had not
heard about them. Had you seen anything about it on
socials or not?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
This article from the dishragt was the first one I've
I've across.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, same with me, because I was going, what did
I miss?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Because you know, typically we're more pretty plugged in with
regard to social media's and stuff it, and I didn't
see anything.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
It's like people were like, hey, what's the deal with
these planes flying?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Because usually you'll have somebody post that I didn't sure,
I didn't see any of that.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
And it turns out it was, Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
It was basically a their Nashville based commission flights to
criticize Limited Warranties, which is the LW on consumer technology
and to advertise its tech care service. So these planes
were carrying these huge banners phrases like we're over l W,
I'm moving on.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I need more than you gave LW.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
They expose LW dot com all of these things.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
It's I think it's a it's it's kind of a.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Good marketing strategy or if you can get you know,
while it's happening. I don't know, is anybody else talking.
I haven't seen anything on the news locally with regard
to this. And that's why, because you and I didn't
get a chance to chat about this before we went on,
and that's why I wanted to see if maybe you
had seen or heard anything about it, but I had not.
(06:13):
They acted like it was, you know, a pretty big deal.
A lot of people had you know, had seen this
stuff or knew about it.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
So the planes were spotted flying over Austin, Texas as well,
and it's we are, for whatever reason, frequent target for
companies new marketing and products. And they're saying it's due
to the demographic resemblance to the country at large. Well,
that's the first I've heard of that, don't They always
say that it's not accurate what you're getting in Ohio
(06:45):
as opposed to the rest of the country, And it's
and it's an accurate snapshot of the of the population
for the rest of the country. It feels like the
way we're watching all of this stuff play out. It
feels like they're always saying, uh no, everybody's like California,
not like the middle of the country.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Well, there's a reason Columbus, Ohio is one of the
main hub test markets for companies, you know, especially like
fast food joints and so forth. Because Columbus Ohio right now,
I mean, I know we've become a sanctuary city under
Ginther thanks butt Heead, but our demographic breakdown it is
(07:28):
like almost lockstop if you look at the United States
as a whole picture, as you kind of were hinting
at there, And that is the reason because and also
the fact that we are New York and LA are
anonymalies because what you're charging in New York in LA
is not what you can Columbus has got a nice
(07:49):
like you can call it upper middle class kind of
median income if you look around just central Ohio in general. Right,
so people who can actually have forward products that you average.
You know, you don't go I'm not trying to be rude,
but you don't go into southeast Appalachia and down down
in Ohio.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
You know, you don't advertise.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
There's no point in bringing certain businesses or products down there,
because their life, their way of life, what they need,
their culture is nothing like what we're dealing with here
in the big city.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Isn't that crazy that in the same state you can
have such differing economic situations, the backgrounds, if you will,
then you go outside the state kind of to your
point with New York and California. If if you were
dropped here from outer space and just started kind of
you would think that the whole country is one hundred
(08:44):
percent for abortion. You know, go down the list of
things that if you're watching any of the stuff the
Democrats are peddling out there, and it's what a lot
of the mainstream media is also in lockstep with, and
they try to make it like.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
No, you'll you're the weird one for not.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Liking and go down the list of all this stuff
where we're all shaking our head, going, no, that's not
how it is. That's not how it is here in Ohio.
It's not like that in Ohio. And I'm glad it's
not like that in Ohio. I don't want it to
be like that in Ohio. But you know, people love
to make fun of us. Okay, we're then we're the.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Seventh most populous state in the country, home to three
of the country's top twenty or top thirty largest cities.
This is, you know, we get, we get this reputation
that is undenied.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I love Ohio. I'm proud to be from Ohio.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
And the funny thing is, no matter where I go,
I can go to Florida, I go to Myrtle Beach,
I go out to Oklahoma, I will run into somebody
from Ohio. I will never forget walking down on a
spring break like twenty years ago and I was wearing
an OSU shirt and I hear yeah, I come from.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
The board wall.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Happens all the time, absolutely, traveling and weather together from
day and night. Heating
And what's weird is like during the break, not weird,
but during the break you were watching Rodney Dangerfield, yes,
which I just found kind of random that you were
doing that. But it just made me think, I'm like,
he is one of what did he say the breastfeeding

(01:34):
I got Rodney, what the hell are you doing? Man?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
You're on your way out? He goes. If I'm on
my way out, I'm going to party.
Speaker 2 (01:40):

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Just no hold that guy back.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
He could have gone down as one of the greatest
comedic fault like physical comedy actors of all time. He's
still kind of is.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
He's still kind of is. His catalog is so.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Limited because you know, he was in Wayne's world.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Tommy Boy is one of the greatest.
Speaker 2 (02:42):

something like that. But those are about like the only
six movies I even have.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Of like Chris Chris Farley.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
But then all his skits, the you know, the he's
the motivational speaker, I mean those those, all of those skits.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
