Speaker 1 (00:02):
Are we on, Oh my gosh, we're early.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's only it's not even four h four yet. See
what happens when we get talking to Joe Schmitz.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
We're trying to give Joe advice Pete retirement.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Planning by Joe. We love you.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
He needs good advice, but we give good relationship advice.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
We tried to. I think I would rather Joe listen
to us about relationship advice than Boots. Boots was trying
to give him relationship advice.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Boots, wherever you walk to in this building, keep walking, Yeah,
keep walking and you'll keep it here with that.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
But we had a really interesting conversation earlier on because
I did try to set up Joe on a date,
on a blind date, and that was kind of a
conversation have you ever been set up on a date?
Have you ever tried to set somebody up? And poor
Joe was caught the cross for he had no idea
he had that we were going to talk about. I'm like,
don't worry your date prize and listening at all.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
No, no, no, no, no no. Have you gone on a
blind date?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I don't think I ever have. I went on a
date back in high school that someone was like a
buddy of mine doesn't have a homecoming date? Will you go?
And I'll go, like it'll be like us four together going.
Oh yeah, And I did that, but I mean it
was just a date. It was it was just a
homecoming day.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
No one ever set me up on a blind date?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Did you ever set anybody up?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I've set people up, but I've never I don't know
if any of them have worked out, like you know
I have.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
And they have worked out. That's why I feel like
rejected that Joe's aren't working because I usually can get
good sense for people. In fact, my one one of
my very best friends, Linda, is married to Doug and
I set them up and I've had that story. Yeah,
I have definitely had success because I think you can
look at people and know what they're like and know
(01:44):
the kind of person that would maybe make them happy.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
You can. I think we just told Joe who was
going to make them happy? Joe.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Joe's Joe.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You know, Joe knows. Okay, So how was your week?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
We got to actually see each other midweek. Mikayla and
I will talk through the week because we planned the
show together, but we normally get to We don't get
to be face to face and see one another, but
we did this week. You got to come to Spectrum
News one.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It is such a lovely setup.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I mean, I think one of the things I thought
was like, this feels like network news compared to other
studios I've.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Been in a studios.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah, and so it feels the way that it's set up,
it feels like what you would expect to see in
New York at a network place.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Like the way you have it.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I feel like the way you have it divided out
into building and it's part of a greater group of businesses,
and that Smith Brothers is a gorgeous era.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I love that building, the whole building. I've always loved that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
So it was nice to see you in the middle
of the week and get see your digs.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
But what's funny is Mikayla walked in and she was
automatically a little rock star because what we didn't talk
about last week she was on the air. I got
to interview Mikayla in what they call a talkback interview,
So it was basically me at the anchor desk McKayla.
It was out on remote location at the Ohio State
(03:03):
Fair and Michayla's been in this business for how many years?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I did TV for like seventeen or eighteen and then
the radio. What are we on your seven year?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Eight Yeah? So I knew she'd be just outstanding. I
didn't know how outstanding she was gonna be. So she
gets mikeed up, talks to the camera guy who use
a channel or that Spectrum who we knew.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
At Channel four together, Rodney Mintenorf.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, so you automatically had that comfort zone because you
got to work with somebody who you used to work with.
You did this whole show and tell about your booth
at the fair. All I had to do was throw
it to her and she took it and ran. So
she comes into the Spectrum newsroom. Everybody knew who you were.
They were from just the week before.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
We looked up and we were like, who is this
person who is doing this.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Walk and talk the show and tell? Because it was
so good, but it was not a reporter.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
My news director was like, that was the first thing
out of his mouth.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
It was that was funny. It's like a bike.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Once you've done it for so long, you can't help
but get back on the bike.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
That was going to be the point I was making.
Whether your news journalist or a teacher and you go
away from it for a while, or anything that you've
done for years, is it like riding a bike because
you can get right back into it. Were you nervous
at all? A little bit?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You had to be no, no, because it was you
and it was Rodney. And I knew my booth inside
and out, and people loved it because the Ohio Bottle Lottery,
we were giving that opportunity to purchase that rare bottle
of bourbon unclaimed funds, which is such a hot topic
right now and people want to get their funds.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
And then we had this fun YETI thing.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
So I planned the booth with my team and so
I actually wasn't I was excited, and I was so
excited that you asked me, like you know, you don't
always get asked that question.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It was great. And then while she's doing this live shot,
someone won a yetti and on the air and your
reaction was priceless. So it is cool. And I did
want to ask everybody that if there's something that you've
done for so many years and then you quit doing
it for one reason or another. Can you go right
back into it and pick up right where you left off?
You did marvelous?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah, call in and tell us if you've been in
that position or how you would feel in that position.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Would you ever go back to something that you did
years ago? Orre you glad you walk away from it?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Six one four eight two one WTVN six one four
eight one nine eight eight six. We'd love to hear
from you, and we have some time through hot topics.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
To talk about it too.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, So what else was your week? Like?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Well, the stay Fair is winding down today, right, so
we have a big tear down going tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
What a beautiful This is the last full day.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Lat ends in two hours, just under two hours. We's
done at six.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
So what a beautiful weekend to end things on. And
it's just kind of I call it, like michaela weather.
You probably haven't seen this, but we took our dogs
out for a swim last night. Where so there's a
place called Darby Ben Lakes and inside that metro park
is a place called dog Beach and it's humans.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Can't swim or wait in it.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
They can kayak or paddle board, but this dog Beach
on these lakes is only for dogs?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
How they do?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
You know? They need to be socialized.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
They're puppies because they probably haven't seen water like that
to swim in.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
No, and so I don't know, what do you think
about this? We put them in the water.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
It was the water was probably about a foot or
two high. They kind of.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Checked out the water, but and then they were chasing
these other dogs and they were barking at these other dogs,
a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Of barking because dogs bark, that's what they do.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
But so finally we Rickley actually got in by himself
one time, but then Grace didn't.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
So before we left, we put them both in the water.
Is that okay?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You know they don't fetch? Do they fetch?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
It?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
All?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
We tried.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
We had like we had some we had some sticks,
and there's extra toys. There's like a lost that's how
many dogs go there. There's like a lost and found
toy bucket. And we tried, we try to throw a ball.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
In, but you didn't throw them in. You just kind
of like some humans do that they throw their infants
in swim swim.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Well, so we lobbed them in and with it they swam.
I'll have to show you the video. It's it's cute.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Okay. We're getting a message from our producer, Mary is
on the line, but it says what she lost her.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Phone somewhere on the West Side at a park and
is wondering if you could ask on air if anyone
has seen it.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Hey, Ash, can you find out what par park? Yeah,
that we can. We can do that.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, but find out which park, where and when she
lost it, and we will be glad to try to
help her find it. Have you ever lost your phone?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Thankfully, no, have you?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I have not. I told you my one story when
we were in Myrtle Beach this last time when we
dropped it or I dropped it, dropped it in the
pool and it still worked because Cammi figured out that thing.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah she did. But you haven't lost it. And I've
done the same as you. I haven't. It hasn't recovered
the same way.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
But yeah, and that's that's all my weekend. I'm trying
to get prepared to go to Saint Joseph. What did
you what's the rest of the stuff that you did?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
It is? It is coming down to D Day. One
week from today. We will move into our new little
Lake house. And I say little because it is little,
right it is, but it's something we have been wanting
for so long. We're finally at that time of our
life where we actually have free time now on the weekends. Unfortunately,
(08:16):
we don't get to watch our daughter play softball for
the Buckeyes anymore. And another honestly part, when season comes around,
I'm gonna be sad. It's going to really make me
sad not to be able to watch her play shortstop.
I mean, she didn't miss a game in four years,
and now it's all comes abruptly to an end. So
this is my happy place, your distraction, it is my distraction.
(08:38):
And it didn't matter what lake we were going to.
We had to find the right house, the right house
that had a fenced in backyard. We found one that's
just perfect. So I cannot wait to be a member
of the Indian Lake community and go up there almost
every weekend. So right after the show, a week from today,
we'll be on the road to move in.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
So have you boxed up things that you need or
your boxing them up this week?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
What's you're playing so funny, Mikayla, Because I just keep
buying things. We have to furnish three bedrooms.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Oh yeah, so it's small, but it takes that, I
take it. Bedrooms are like it's a.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Main bedroom two and a half. I mean, it's small,
but it's not.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You've seen pictures, right, you see pictures.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah. But the good thing is the guy selling it
was like all the furniture in there is negotiable. So
like we're buying the claw of the couch and the
love seat and two of the three beds and the
kitchen table. So a lot of the big balk stuff.
But it's not stopping me from buying. I'm finally at
the point where but everything I'm I'm going to good
Will all the time. They have great steal this good
(09:35):
will I have. I've gone to this good will, the
one in Westerville's awesome. But I'm telling you what I am.
You know me, I am not going to spend top
dollar for anything. No, but it's like your shop and
now games is another good place and right now, no text.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
You're right, the sales tax holiday is going on right
now and you don't have to have a kid in
school to take advantage. And you don't even know this,
but at work, we did a podcast a full podcast
with other retail merchants and the taxation folks over at
the Department of Taxation.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
The legislature made this a two week holiday for the
first time. It goes the great mindy can shop more.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, for Randy.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
It's the first through the fourteenth, so it's fourteen days,
long days, and this is the first time. I think
last year it might have been ten, and then before
that it was only a weekend, right right, So you
are taking advantage right now.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I mean it's restaurants and everything. But you know what
the cool thing about Indian Lake is it's kind of
like buck Eye Lake in this sense. And we would
have been really happy if we would have found a
place at buck Eye Lake too. There's so many little
restaurants and bars that you pull your boat up to
get off their dock and go in and eat or
go haven't drink.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You can't wait till you go to Froggy's. I hear
so much about Froggy's from my friend Rachel.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
So Cammy and a bunch of her friends are renting
a place at Indian Lake down the road from ours
because she has so many friends you can't fit into whatever.
No for labor day weekend. So we're in and we
got to my god, we just bought a boat yesterday.
So this is huge news. It is huge because I'm
finally spending money. I've saved my whole life, you have.
(11:09):
I've invested and saved, and I've learned that from my parents,
and you know, they were so gracious and saved for us,
left us stuff. So we're going to continue to invest.
This really isn't even dead.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Is it just a small thing that you can do
right now that you have kids out of school.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
And I told you, mister Quartercracks left Randy and all
his siblings money, and he was He loved boats. He
always had a boat. They would always go to Lake Erie.
In fact, they capsized at Lake Erie years ago, Missus
quarter Cracks almost drowned. So she always said, you in
that dumb boat. So he named it dumb boat.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Oh my god, it's a.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Perfect way to spend your inheritance with him. So we
get a boat and we're going to name it dumb
boat too.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'm so excited for you about that.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
And it was hit in the tornado at Indian Lake. Yes,
it was damaged a little bit. The boat, what boat
was they'll try tune, but it affects the boat not
at all. It affects it, not.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
The dings and things boat and is going to get
a deal on the boat.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Get a deal on the boat. You still get full
warranty because they it hasn't had an owner, but it's
slightly damaged from that tornado. Remember that tornado.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
And he's like, yes, I do, because because family, it
is your kind of shopping.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
So that's been my life. That's why I didn't remember
your birthday, which I will make up for that for you.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Are fully like going to be ready to go by
Labor Day.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Oh yeah, we're gonna yeah, We're getting a U haul.
We're gonna go make everything. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's going to be one big party here. That's the
Kammy's rental Labor Day weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
It's gonna be fun. But everyone I've met so far
and he like, we haven't had bad food at any
of the restaurants we've tried. Everybody is so down to earth, awesome, wonderful.
I've got my new neighbor already. His name's Ralph. Ralph's great.
He runs the dock because we have a dog. That's
why we had to get a boat where like this
house comes with the dock, We're gonna have to get boat.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Now. There's a cute breakfast place near where you are too,
I think one of the closest places at least. My
friend was telling me that when we were you know,
because I think Indian like people are Indian like people.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Just like Bucky like Peak Ball or Bucky like people,
and they're like, oh, this is where she's going. Oh
this is going to be right here. Like it's a community.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I think that's the beautiful part about these lake communities.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
And you see all these different signs lake life, lake life.
But we're finally going to be able to experience lake life.
My favorite restaurant so far yesterday we ate it Buckeye
at Indian Lake, Okay, which is like a big sports bark,
great subs. But I like Cranberry so far. Cranberry's is
my favorite restaurant.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Where's Cranberry's right off the water. It's right off the water.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yah.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Oh, Mandy, min just makes me happy for you. We
are up against the break, but we have a lot
coming up today.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Big deal. Though we do have a lot coming up.
In fact, I'm so glad that Tattletale is one of
our sponsors because I got an alarm because there's gonna
be a lot of time that we aren't there.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
It's a second property kind of situation.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
So I'm gonna to Tattletale right in there so I
will always feel protected.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
So, yeah, we're gonna talk to Brian Hess coming up
here in the four o'clock hour. Then, speaking of not
really the bad guys. As I said earlier, American Ninja
Warrior contestants are going to be in the in the
studio to talk with us a little bit later. That
should be a really fun conversation.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I wonder if there's things they can do in this
studio hang from things like balance themselves on something. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Bootsad's enough here that maybe that's the case.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
It just seems like such a nice family, and they're
so appreciative that we're having them in studio, and we're
appreciating that they're coming in studio.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah, and then Mindy has a really great old story
that just easy to do.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Great Ohio road trip.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I met these two men when we were at Cranberry's
or Eddy and I were having dinner. Then there's a
table behind US, and they were talking about Westerville and like, Hey,
I'm from Westerville. Well, they're getting a wedding reception or
something that was being planned and a band is playing
in Westerville and they wanted to know about it. I'm like,
I haven't heard of that band. But we start talking
meeting these two men who are traveling across the state
(14:59):
of Ohio visiting all eighty eight courthouses, which.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I think, I mean, if you were from a state
Ohio or Illinois, you know the courthouses are special places
in these smaller communities.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
So I can't wait to talk to them.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And find out if they're halfway through what they're finding out.
There's some hidden treasures that they're finding and some haunted
stories that they're going to share. Ooh, I love it.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
No, okay, So my hot topic actually has to do
with a lake, which is kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
And the song works out and what do you got?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I got what everybody was talking about this week the
Sydney Sweeney jeans.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Oh my gosh, the gen different, Yes.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
But did you know who the CEO was of American Eagle. No,
who from Columbus, Ohio, Jay Shottenstein. Oh I had no
idea until I start doing a little bit of research.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Oh well, then we have a lot to talk about.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Hot topics up next way in with us on those
two six one four eight two one nine eight eight
six six one four eight two one WTVN And Westgate
Park is where that phone was lost, folks, Westgate Park,
this is what matters on extend wtvan
Are we on, Oh my gosh, we're early.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's only it's not even four h four yet. See
what happens when we get talking to Joe Schmitz.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
We're trying to give Joe advice Pete retirement.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Planning by Joe. We love you.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
He needs good advice, but we give good relationship advice.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
We tried to. I think I would rather Joe listen
to us about relationship advice than Boots. Boots was trying
to give him relationship advice.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Boots, wherever you walk to in this building, keep walking, Yeah,
keep walking and you'll keep it here with that.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
But we had a really interesting conversation earlier on because
I did try to set up Joe on a date,
on a blind date, and that was kind of a
conversation have you ever been set up on a date?
Have you ever tried to set somebody up? And poor
Joe was caught the cross for he had no idea
he had that we were going to talk about. I'm like,
don't worry your date prize and listening at all.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
No, no, no, no, no no. Have you gone on a
blind date?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I don't think I ever have. I went on a
date back in high school that someone was like a
buddy of mine doesn't have a homecoming date? Will you go?
And I'll go, like it'll be like us four together going.
Oh yeah, And I did that, but I mean it
was just a date. It was it was just a
homecoming day.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
No one ever set me up on a blind date?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Did you ever set anybody up?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I've set people up, but I've never I don't know
if any of them have worked out, like you know
I have.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
And they have worked out. That's why I feel like
rejected that Joe's aren't working because I usually can get
good sense for people. In fact, my one one of
my very best friends, Linda, is married to Doug and
I set them up and I've had that story. Yeah,
I have definitely had success because I think you can
look at people and know what they're like and know
(01:44):
the kind of person that would maybe make them happy.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
You can. I think we just told Joe who was
going to make them happy? Joe.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Joe's Joe.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You know, Joe knows. Okay, So how was your week?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
We got to actually see each other midweek. Mikayla and
I will talk through the week because we planned the
show together, but we normally get to We don't get
to be face to face and see one another, but
we did this week. You got to come to Spectrum
News one.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It is such a lovely setup.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I mean, I think one of the things I thought
was like, this feels like network news compared to other
studios I've.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Been in a studios.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah, and so it feels the way that it's set up,
it feels like what you would expect to see in
New York at a network place.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Like the way you have it.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I feel like the way you have it divided out
into building and it's part of a greater group of businesses,
and that Smith Brothers is a gorgeous era.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I love that building, the whole building. I've always loved that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
So it was nice to see you in the middle
of the week and get see your digs.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
But what's funny is Mikayla walked in and she was
automatically a little rock star because what we didn't talk
about last week she was on the air. I got
to interview Mikayla in what they call a talkback interview,
So it was basically me at the anchor desk McKayla.
It was out on remote location at the Ohio State
(03:03):
Fair and Michayla's been in this business for how many years?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I did TV for like seventeen or eighteen and then
the radio. What are we on your seven year?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Eight Yeah? So I knew she'd be just outstanding. I
didn't know how outstanding she was gonna be. So she
gets mikeed up, talks to the camera guy who use
a channel or that Spectrum who we knew.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
At Channel four together, Rodney Mintenorf.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, so you automatically had that comfort zone because you
got to work with somebody who you used to work with.
You did this whole show and tell about your booth
at the fair. All I had to do was throw
it to her and she took it and ran. So
she comes into the Spectrum newsroom. Everybody knew who you were.
They were from just the week before.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
We looked up and we were like, who is this
person who is doing this.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Walk and talk the show and tell? Because it was
so good, but it was not a reporter.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
My news director was like, that was the first thing
out of his mouth.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
It was that was funny. It's like a bike.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Once you've done it for so long, you can't help
but get back on the bike.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
That was going to be the point I was making.
Whether your news journalist or a teacher and you go
away from it for a while, or anything that you've
done for years, is it like riding a bike because
you can get right back into it. Were you nervous
at all? A little bit?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You had to be no, no, because it was you
and it was Rodney. And I knew my booth inside
and out, and people loved it because the Ohio Bottle Lottery,
we were giving that opportunity to purchase that rare bottle
of bourbon unclaimed funds, which is such a hot topic
right now and people want to get their funds.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
And then we had this fun YETI thing.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
So I planned the booth with my team and so
I actually wasn't I was excited, and I was so
excited that you asked me, like you know, you don't
always get asked that question.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It was great. And then while she's doing this live shot,
someone won a yetti and on the air and your
reaction was priceless. So it is cool. And I did
want to ask everybody that if there's something that you've
done for so many years and then you quit doing
it for one reason or another. Can you go right
back into it and pick up right where you left off?
You did marvelous?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah, call in and tell us if you've been in
that position or how you would feel in that position.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Would you ever go back to something that you did
years ago? Orre you glad you walk away from it?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Six one four eight two one WTVN six one four
eight one nine eight eight six. We'd love to hear
from you, and we have some time through hot topics.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
To talk about it too.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, So what else was your week? Like?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Well, the stay Fair is winding down today, right, so
we have a big tear down going tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
What a beautiful This is the last full day.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Lat ends in two hours, just under two hours. We's
done at six.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
So what a beautiful weekend to end things on. And
it's just kind of I call it, like michaela weather.
You probably haven't seen this, but we took our dogs
out for a swim last night. Where so there's a
place called Darby Ben Lakes and inside that metro park
is a place called dog Beach and it's humans.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Can't swim or wait in it.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
They can kayak or paddle board, but this dog Beach
on these lakes is only for dogs?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
How they do?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
You know? They need to be socialized.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
They're puppies because they probably haven't seen water like that
to swim in.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
No, and so I don't know, what do you think
about this? We put them in the water.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
It was the water was probably about a foot or
two high. They kind of.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Checked out the water, but and then they were chasing
these other dogs and they were barking at these other dogs,
a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Of barking because dogs bark, that's what they do.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
But so finally we Rickley actually got in by himself
one time, but then Grace didn't.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
So before we left, we put them both in the water.
Is that okay?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You know they don't fetch? Do they fetch?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
It?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
All?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
We tried.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
We had like we had some we had some sticks,
and there's extra toys. There's like a lost that's how
many dogs go there. There's like a lost and found
toy bucket. And we tried, we try to throw a ball.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
In, but you didn't throw them in. You just kind
of like some humans do that they throw their infants
in swim swim.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Well, so we lobbed them in and with it they swam.
I'll have to show you the video. It's it's cute.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Okay. We're getting a message from our producer, Mary is
on the line, but it says what she lost her.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Phone somewhere on the West Side at a park and
is wondering if you could ask on air if anyone
has seen it.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Hey, Ash, can you find out what par park? Yeah,
that we can. We can do that.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, but find out which park, where and when she
lost it, and we will be glad to try to
help her find it. Have you ever lost your phone?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Thankfully, no, have you?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I have not. I told you my one story when
we were in Myrtle Beach this last time when we
dropped it or I dropped it, dropped it in the
pool and it still worked because Cammi figured out that thing.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah she did. But you haven't lost it. And I've
done the same as you. I haven't. It hasn't recovered
the same way.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
But yeah, and that's that's all my weekend. I'm trying
to get prepared to go to Saint Joseph. What did
you what's the rest of the stuff that you did?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
It is? It is coming down to D Day. One
week from today. We will move into our new little
Lake house. And I say little because it is little,
right it is, but it's something we have been wanting
for so long. We're finally at that time of our
life where we actually have free time now on the weekends. Unfortunately,
(08:16):
we don't get to watch our daughter play softball for
the Buckeyes anymore. And another honestly part, when season comes around,
I'm gonna be sad. It's going to really make me
sad not to be able to watch her play shortstop.
I mean, she didn't miss a game in four years,
and now it's all comes abruptly to an end. So
this is my happy place, your distraction, it is my distraction.
(08:38):
And it didn't matter what lake we were going to.
We had to find the right house, the right house
that had a fenced in backyard. We found one that's
just perfect. So I cannot wait to be a member
of the Indian Lake community and go up there almost
every weekend. So right after the show, a week from today,
we'll be on the road to move in.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
So have you boxed up things that you need or
your boxing them up this week?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
What's you're playing so funny, Mikayla, Because I just keep
buying things. We have to furnish three bedrooms.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Oh yeah, so it's small, but it takes that, I
take it. Bedrooms are like it's a.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Main bedroom two and a half. I mean, it's small,
but it's not.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You've seen pictures, right, you see pictures.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah. But the good thing is the guy selling it
was like all the furniture in there is negotiable. So
like we're buying the claw of the couch and the
love seat and two of the three beds and the
kitchen table. So a lot of the big balk stuff.
But it's not stopping me from buying. I'm finally at
the point where but everything I'm I'm going to good
Will all the time. They have great steal this good
(09:35):
will I have. I've gone to this good will, the
one in Westerville's awesome. But I'm telling you what I am.
You know me, I am not going to spend top
dollar for anything. No, but it's like your shop and
now games is another good place and right now, no text.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
You're right, the sales tax holiday is going on right
now and you don't have to have a kid in
school to take advantage. And you don't even know this,
but at work, we did a podcast a full podcast
with other retail merchants and the taxation folks over at
the Department of Taxation.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
The legislature made this a two week holiday for the
first time. It goes the great mindy can shop more.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, for Randy.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
It's the first through the fourteenth, so it's fourteen days,
long days, and this is the first time. I think
last year it might have been ten, and then before
that it was only a weekend, right right, So you
are taking advantage right now.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I mean it's restaurants and everything. But you know what
the cool thing about Indian Lake is it's kind of
like buck Eye Lake in this sense. And we would
have been really happy if we would have found a
place at buck Eye Lake too. There's so many little
restaurants and bars that you pull your boat up to
get off their dock and go in and eat or
go haven't drink.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You can't wait till you go to Froggy's. I hear
so much about Froggy's from my friend Rachel.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
So Cammy and a bunch of her friends are renting
a place at Indian Lake down the road from ours
because she has so many friends you can't fit into whatever.
No for labor day weekend. So we're in and we
got to my god, we just bought a boat yesterday.
So this is huge news. It is huge because I'm
finally spending money. I've saved my whole life, you have.
(11:09):
I've invested and saved, and I've learned that from my parents,
and you know, they were so gracious and saved for us,
left us stuff. So we're going to continue to invest.
This really isn't even dead.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Is it just a small thing that you can do
right now that you have kids out of school.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
And I told you, mister Quartercracks left Randy and all
his siblings money, and he was He loved boats. He
always had a boat. They would always go to Lake Erie.
In fact, they capsized at Lake Erie years ago, Missus
quarter Cracks almost drowned. So she always said, you in
that dumb boat. So he named it dumb boat.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Oh my god, it's a.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Perfect way to spend your inheritance with him. So we
get a boat and we're going to name it dumb
boat too.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'm so excited for you about that.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
And it was hit in the tornado at Indian Lake. Yes,
it was damaged a little bit. The boat, what boat
was they'll try tune, but it affects the boat not
at all. It affects it, not.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
The dings and things boat and is going to get
a deal on the boat.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Get a deal on the boat. You still get full
warranty because they it hasn't had an owner, but it's
slightly damaged from that tornado. Remember that tornado.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
And he's like, yes, I do, because because family, it
is your kind of shopping.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
So that's been my life. That's why I didn't remember
your birthday, which I will make up for that for you.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Are fully like going to be ready to go by
Labor Day.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Oh yeah, we're gonna yeah, We're getting a U haul.
We're gonna go make everything. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's going to be one big party here. That's the
Kammy's rental Labor Day weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
It's gonna be fun. But everyone I've met so far
and he like, we haven't had bad food at any
of the restaurants we've tried. Everybody is so down to earth, awesome, wonderful.
I've got my new neighbor already. His name's Ralph. Ralph's great.
He runs the dock because we have a dog. That's
why we had to get a boat where like this
house comes with the dock, We're gonna have to get boat.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Now. There's a cute breakfast place near where you are too,
I think one of the closest places at least. My
friend was telling me that when we were you know,
because I think Indian like people are Indian like people.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Just like Bucky like Peak Ball or Bucky like people,
and they're like, oh, this is where she's going. Oh
this is going to be right here. Like it's a community.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I think that's the beautiful part about these lake communities.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
And you see all these different signs lake life, lake life.
But we're finally going to be able to experience lake life.
My favorite restaurant so far yesterday we ate it Buckeye
at Indian Lake, Okay, which is like a big sports bark,
great subs. But I like Cranberry so far. Cranberry's is
my favorite restaurant.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Where's Cranberry's right off the water. It's right off the water.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yah.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Oh, Mandy, min just makes me happy for you. We
are up against the break, but we have a lot
coming up today.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Big deal. Though we do have a lot coming up.
In fact, I'm so glad that Tattletale is one of
our sponsors because I got an alarm because there's gonna
be a lot of time that we aren't there.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
It's a second property kind of situation.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
So I'm gonna to Tattletale right in there so I
will always feel protected.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
So, yeah, we're gonna talk to Brian Hess coming up
here in the four o'clock hour. Then, speaking of not
really the bad guys. As I said earlier, American Ninja
Warrior contestants are going to be in the in the
studio to talk with us a little bit later. That
should be a really fun conversation.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I wonder if there's things they can do in this
studio hang from things like balance themselves on something. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Bootsad's enough here that maybe that's the case.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
It just seems like such a nice family, and they're
so appreciative that we're having them in studio, and we're
appreciating that they're coming in studio.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah, and then Mindy has a really great old story
that just easy to do.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Great Ohio road trip.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I met these two men when we were at Cranberry's
or Eddy and I were having dinner. Then there's a
table behind US, and they were talking about Westerville and like, Hey,
I'm from Westerville. Well, they're getting a wedding reception or
something that was being planned and a band is playing
in Westerville and they wanted to know about it. I'm like,
I haven't heard of that band. But we start talking
meeting these two men who are traveling across the state
(14:59):
of Ohio visiting all eighty eight courthouses, which.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I think, I mean, if you were from a state
Ohio or Illinois, you know the courthouses are special places
in these smaller communities.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
So I can't wait to talk to them.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And find out if they're halfway through what they're finding out.
There's some hidden treasures that they're finding and some haunted
stories that they're going to share. Ooh, I love it.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
No, okay, So my hot topic actually has to do
with a lake, which is kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
And the song works out and what do you got?

Sydney Sweeney jeans.
