Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, we sure hope you're having a good Sunday so far,
and hopefully you'll have Monday off. Are you off tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I am government worker, we get the day off. I'm
really glad to have the day off.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I think most people have the day off tomorrow. I
really do too.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, yeah, I just told you what's sitting in my yard,
so I better have the day off.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
So Marcus and I can figure that out.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
She is talking about she's going to molt around her yard.
I figure a few bags one hundred and seventy five
bags of molts.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
One hundred and seventy five bags of mult Okay, you've
been to my house, but you've been to my house
at night, so you haven't seen the landscaping necessarily correct.
And there's a lot of mulch bets, and so Marcus put.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
One hundred and seventy five bags worth.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Okay, listen, Marcus is a cheap skate just like you,
and I appreciate him and I am happy to have
him in my life for that. So we got our
yard mulched a few years ago, and it costs like
three thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
So three thousand dollars right, my smile just went from
this to what.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So this year, buy your mulch when it's on sale
for two dollars a bag.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
And that's what he's done. And then he's going to
do the labor.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
So are you going to have malts for the next
several years that you don't have to buy anymore? Will
you go through one hundred and seventy five bags?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
We absolutely will.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
He spread it out, and he thinks he actually might
need more. He thinks he might need more.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
To me, that seems like a lot of malts.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
But I mean, maybe I'll have really nice rounded beds
right now there. I didn't multch last year. It was
kind of dry and dead. So yeah, I'll give you
some pictures.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
The only thing about mault it looks great. But don't
you think it smells funny?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I manure?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, you tell as soon as someone malts their yard.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
What is it about?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I don't guess.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I don't know enough about what's in malts.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I don't know. There's got to be sometimes.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And I grew up at a hardware store, so I
should know what's in maultch, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
So if you know what's in molts, give us a call.
So we can figure this stuff out what really is in?
And let mean, obviously it just looks like chopped up
particle pieces of wood.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Fragrance, right, but it's maneuver in. It's got to be
there's got to be something, have you, Moulch. You haven't
had time to do anything, So I why do I
even ask that question?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
You know? It was so weird because Randy and I
went to a going away party last night for a
friend of our, well, a guy that I worked with
at Spectrum. It was just one of my favorites there
from the get go, really like Caleb, so it was
a going away party for him. Have you been to
Jackie O's on Fourth Downtown around.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
One time and it's been a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Really deceiving because you think this just is a little
place in the corner, then you walk in, it goes
back all the way forever. There's an upstairs. It was
really cool. So we did that and then friends of
ours asked us to come over to play some games.
So we're like, this is the first weekend in months
that we haven't been able to watch softball. And I
say it that way because I thoroughly enjoyed watching softball.
(02:55):
That was my life for so many years.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well, and I love that you lived it to its
fullest this year, this spring and into this summer. Actually,
this is the first time. I mean I've talked to
you enough, but this is the first time I've seen
you in a second.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yes, okay, you look good. She's doing great.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I think it helped Mikayla that the senior year, and
we talked about it because Mikayla calls, She's so so
concerned all the time. What a great friend. And you know,
how are you doing? Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
And I do I check on you and send on you.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It was very emotional. And you guys listening, you know
leading up to this, it was going to be very emotional.
It is for any time something comes to an end,
your all parents, maybe your grandparents, and when something ends,
it's just sad and you think about it. One team
in all of college sports, I don't care if it's softball, football, basketball, baseball, whatever,
only one team and the whole season wins it all right,
(03:50):
So everybody loses at some point. But to know that
Ohio State's team softball team did so exceptionally well, I mean,
broke records over surpassed. Who would have thought they would
have had forty five wins? And you know what I did, Mickayla,
for curiosity's sake. Yeah, you want to as a college
athlete or a high school athlete, you want to get
better every year. It's hard to do that when you're
in the Big Ten because when you play every game
(04:12):
every season, like Cammy did, those coaches get to know
you so they know how to pitch around you and
not giving you the best pitches. So I was curious,
and I went back and looked at Cammy's numbers from
her freshman year. Listen to how she grew from her
freshman to her senior year. Freshman year, she had a
two eighty three batting average. That's not that good, and
(04:32):
she made the All Big Ten freshman she did. I
remember that, But that's a freshman, okay. She went from
two eighty three this year she was She ended up
being two fair three fifty three. Huge difference. She didn't
hit any home runs or freshman year, she hit twenty
home runs this year. She had sixty six hits this
year as a senior. Her freshman year she only had
forty one hits. She had sixty sixty one runs scored
(04:55):
as a senior. You know how many runs she scored
her freshman year eleven? A lot of times if she
would get on base, they would have someone else run
for you're learning so much as a freshman are She
had nineteen RBIs as a freshman. Senior year fifty one
RBIs and she has walked thirty one times. This year,
she had, like I said, twenty home runs, thirteen doubles.
(05:18):
She had four doubles her freshman year. It's something that
doesn't grow. Those are crazy numbers.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
The grows is crazy numbers.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Her numbers this year batting three, fifty three batting average,
twenty home runs, thirteen doubles, sixty six hits, sixty one runs,
fifty one RBIs, and walk thirty one times. Crazy great year.
In my heart of hearts, those are all American numbers.
But they don't like to pick a lot of you know,
they'll pick other teams from bigger programs. Now there will
(05:46):
be a girl or catcher Jazzy who was a sophomore, Yeah,
who hit twenty five home runs. She was amazing, four
hundred sum higher. You know, she is definitely an All American.
But I think those numbers as a shortstop, they're right
up there too.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
When do we find out those kinds of things, Well,
even though it doesn't happen.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
This week, So this week is the case. So here's
the wild thing.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I fully remember Cammy's freshman year and her not hitting
a home run, and you were so down.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
The head coach is like, Mindy, can you believe Cammy
didn't hit a home run this year? I'm like, what
do you say to that?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, what do you say? You're like, do you really
want to talk to me about this? No?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
But then I look at them.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I mean, right then, her sophomore year she hit seven,
junior year twelve, but then twenty. The whole team just
did so well. But I told Mikayla, I said, you know,
I am just I'm sad that it's over, but I'm
so grateful and blessed and happy that we had all
those games. Who plays two hundred some consecutive games from
your freshman year at the beginning to your sophomore, junior,
(06:47):
senior year. I don't know one player in the softball
program since we've been part of it that has played
every single game consecutively. I am so thankful for that
to have that moment and those times watching her thrive
and watching this team come together. So I am more
grateful and really really appreciative to have that time. Then
I am sad that it's over. And that's how I
(07:08):
look at.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
It, honestly, and that's wonderful. And when I called you
a couple of days after last Sunday, so we must
have talked Monday or Tuesday, you were there and I
loved that for you, the fact that you were there
because I know it's hard. Endings are really hard for everyone.
Like you said earlier, your brain was in the right place,
your mindset was in the right place when I talked
(07:30):
to you a couple days later.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
If not, you're gonna drive yourself crazy, especially because Cammie
didn't get a hit her last game against Tennessee, right
against the SEC pitcher of the year two Well.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
They were like pitching at her knees.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I mean, you could have put Ohio State in any
other region. I think we would have had a better
chance of moving on, but it didn't happen. You can
beat yourself up, but I look at it like this,
Cameron's last hit ever as an Ohio State Buckeye was
a home run. It was, and her last hit at
Buckeye Field as a home run. So I got to,
you know, be grateful for what you have instead of
(08:03):
concentrating on what you have, not be grateful for the positives,
celebrate those instead of because I could drive myself crazy.
I can't believe she struck out her last at bat. Ever,
you know, I could beat myself at that. But I'm
not going to live like that. That's stupid, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
So I get to be the interviewer for a second,
because what happens next? I think people we've talked about
Cammi so much and her career as a buck Eye,
what's the next step?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
She really has a good shot of going to Italy
and playing professional ball in Italy. Wow, so that might happen.
We'll find out for sure here shortly. But the for
sure that is going to happen is and so smart
of Ohio State. The Athletic Department has hired Cammi. So
she's going to be working in the development office with
the Athletic Department, kind of schmoozing with donors and showing them,
(08:55):
maybe escorting them to Ohio State football games or giving
them tours around campus. It's a great setup. And they said, Cameron,
because it's a two year program. They do this with
some of the athletes. It's called next Gen. It's the
next generation. So they hired her for this. It's a
two year program and most people who get hired in
this program out of athletes will take on an additional
(09:16):
workload after those two years. I don't know, you know,
that's whatever. The Boise State coach. Boise State head softball
coach reached out to CAMMI wants to hire her on
as a full time assistant.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
No, She's gotten so many different, you know, job opportunities,
but I love that she's going to stay at all State.
And they told her, if you want to and you
get the opportunity to go play ball in Italy, will
work with you, so you know.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
What to have the opportunities.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Boise State's aloe with the blue football field, right.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I told her, I'm like, no Boise State as the
blue football just like I know, mom. I love the
Heisman Trophy. He didn't win the Heisman Trophy, but he
was a candidate last year because on the night of
he wore was team colors. He's like I wouldn't be
here without my team, so I'm repping them and Cami
love that. So you know what she's not. And all
of you guys please know this about your own athletes,
your own children, their sport or their activity, whether it's
(10:10):
the stage, or whether it's their maybe their genius and science,
whatever they choose to love and dive into, it's not
what defines them as people. They are people. They did
a great job playing and doing what they love to do,
but that's not who they really are as a person.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Ah, that's really important for us to remember as parents
and his individuals too.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
There's so much more. She's so much more than just
a softball player. I love, love, love. In fact, Chris,
you have to tell me, Kayla what you noticed quickly
at the gas stage. He just told me this story today,
because you know the lives she's touched, these little girls.
She'll forever be remembered as twenty seven came, he quartercracks
a softball player. But what'd you notice today?
Speaker 4 (10:51):
So it was it wasn't just today, it was a
few days ago. When I went to the Lifetime up
here in Dublin. I was just walking in and I
see these two probably high school girls. What I'm going
to assume they're wearing Ohio State softball like Ohio's the
softball shirts. And as I see I see as they're leaving,
I see that on the back they say twenty seven
(11:12):
quarter cracks.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, that's so cool.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
At the gas station, the UDF and Dublin, I saw one.
I saw two more. One was wearing quarter cracks and
one was wearing just a high state softball shirt. So
in the span of like a few days, I've seen
three people wear can number. And with the shirt.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
She's left her mark and it is really I'm going
to tell you, it's necessarily not at all what she
did on the field. It's how she's treated everybody from
her freshman year through her senior year. She will give
you all her heart and she'll.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Coach you up too.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And that's why the Boise State coach wants her because
she has a way of motivating people.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
But that's so rare. Usually you have to be a
grad assistant or something first, you know, but he wants
to hire her quarter cracks time assistant. I mean, you
know what. So thanks for everybody just loving on her
and following her career. It's been awesome, and I can't
wait to see the next step this softball program will
go because two Q has set the tone for me
for years on.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It and I can't wait to see what Cam's going
to decide to do. So we'll be waiting this summer
to see what happens.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I made me moving to Italy.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I'll be visiting you, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I was going to bring you a Memorial Day Margarita,
but I got you this instead because you surprised me
last I did with the Cutwater oh cut Water Water's
legit vote, we're white clawing it today.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Favor mine's BlackBerry, which I've not had before. What is yours?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Mine is ruby grapefruit. Because there's everybody having cookouts and
getting together with partying, so we are to have our own,
and we're glad you're along for the ride.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
We are.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
We're going to talk about grilling and safety a little
bit with some of my colleagues actually coming up in
the five o'clock hour Ohio State Fire Marshal's office, and
we'll talk a little bit about drinking while you're grilling too,
and what you should be aware of so we're not
grilling ourselves, right now we also have COSI in.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Today.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
We have COSI in and they're giving away tickets. So
you know what, Now that it's the unofficial start to
summer and schools will start getting out in Northwest Ohio
where we just were for Randy's dad, they're already out.
They're already out for summer break. They're done, they're done.
So that means COSI is a great option to keep
those brains a tick in and learning. There's so much
there and you get free tickets if you call in
(13:25):
and win.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah, we have a giveaways and we're also going to
talk about graduations.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
You've had a lot of graduation parties. I've had a.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Couple, came from one.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I just came from one actually in Westerville.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
And there's this viral video that if you haven't heard it,
Oh my gosh, we'll talk about it today.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Oh my goodness. Just think of this. If your sixth
grade self could interview you today, what would that sixth
grade self want to know?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
So cool lots coming up.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Six one four eight two one nine eight eighty six
is our number? That six one four eight two one
WTDN Yeah right, yeah, there we go.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
When we come back though, We're gonna find out what
happened with Oliver in Phoenix.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Oliver in Phoenix.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Have you heard about it?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
No? No, I'm gonna look it up right now. This
is what matters
Well, we sure hope you're having a good Sunday so far,
and hopefully you'll have Monday off. Are you off tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I am government worker, we get the day off. I'm
really glad to have the day off.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I think most people have the day off tomorrow. I
really do too.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, yeah, I just told you what's sitting in my yard,
so I better have the day off.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
So Marcus and I can figure that out.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
She is talking about she's going to molt around her yard.
I figure a few bags one hundred and seventy five
bags of molts.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
One hundred and seventy five bags of mult Okay, you've
been to my house, but you've been to my house
at night, so you haven't seen the landscaping necessarily correct.
And there's a lot of mulch bets, and so Marcus put.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
One hundred and seventy five bags worth.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Okay, listen, Marcus is a cheap skate just like you,
and I appreciate him and I am happy to have
him in my life for that. So we got our
yard mulched a few years ago, and it costs like
three thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
So three thousand dollars right, my smile just went from
this to what.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So this year, buy your mulch when it's on sale
for two dollars a bag.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
And that's what he's done. And then he's going to
do the labor.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
So are you going to have malts for the next
several years that you don't have to buy anymore? Will
you go through one hundred and seventy five bags?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
We absolutely will.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
He spread it out, and he thinks he actually might
need more. He thinks he might need more.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
To me, that seems like a lot of malts.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
But I mean, maybe I'll have really nice rounded beds

Speaker 1 (01:57):
So if you know what's in molts, give us a call.
So we can figure this stuff out what really is in?
And let mean, obviously it just looks like chopped up
particle pieces of wood.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Fragrance, right, but it's maneuver in. It's got to be
there's got to be something, have you, Moulch. You haven't
had time to do anything, So I why do I
even ask that question?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
You know? It was so weird because Randy and I
went to a going away party last night for a

this is the first time. I mean I've talked to
you enough, but this is the first time I've seen
you in a second.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yes, okay, you look good. She's doing great.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I think it helped Mikayla that the senior year, and
we talked about it because Mikayla calls, She's so so
concerned all the time. What a great friend. And you know,
how are you doing? Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
And I do I check on you and send on you.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It was very emotional. And you guys listening, you know

It is for any time something comes to an end,

want to talk to me about this? No?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
But then I look at them.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I mean, right then, her sophomore year she hit seven,
junior year twelve, but then twenty. The whole team just
did so well. But I told Mikayla, I said, you know,
I am just I'm sad that it's over, but I'm
so grateful and blessed and happy that we had all
those games. Who plays two hundred some consecutive games from
your freshman year at the beginning to your sophomore, junior,
(06:47):
senior year. I don't know one player in the softball
program since we've been part of it that has played
every single game consecutively. I am so thankful for that
to have that moment and those times watching her thrive
and watching this team come together. So I am more
grateful and really really appreciative to have that time. Then
I am sad that it's over. And that's how I
(07:08):
look at.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
It, honestly, and that's wonderful. And when I called you
a couple of days after last Sunday, so we must
have talked Monday or Tuesday, you were there and I
loved that for you, the fact that you were there
because I know it's hard. Endings are really hard for everyone.
Like you said earlier, your brain was in the right place,
your mindset was in the right place when I talked
(07:30):
to you a couple days later.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
If not, you're gonna drive yourself crazy, especially because Cammie
didn't get a hit her last game against Tennessee, right
against the SEC pitcher of the year two Well.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
They were like pitching at her knees.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I mean, you could have put Ohio State in any
other region. I think we would have had a better
chance of moving on, but it didn't happen. You can
beat yourself up, but I look at it like this,
Cameron's last hit ever as an Ohio State Buckeye was
a home run. It was, and her last hit at
Buckeye Field as a home run. So I got to,
you know, be grateful for what you have instead of
(08:03):
concentrating on what you have, not be grateful for the positives,
celebrate those instead of because I could drive myself crazy.
I can't believe she struck out her last at bat. Ever,
you know, I could beat myself at that. But I'm
not going to live like that. That's stupid, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
So I get to be the interviewer for a second,
because what happens next? I think people we've talked about
Cammi so much and her career as a buck Eye,
what's the next step?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
She really has a good shot of going to Italy
and playing professional ball in Italy. Wow, so that might happen.
We'll find out for sure here shortly. But the for
sure that is going to happen is and so smart
of Ohio State. The Athletic Department has hired Cammi. So
she's going to be working in the development office with
the Athletic Department, kind of schmoozing with donors and showing them,
(08:55):
maybe escorting them to Ohio State football games or giving
them tours around campus. It's a great setup. And they said, Cameron,
because it's a two year program. They do this with
some of the athletes. It's called next Gen. It's the
next generation. So they hired her for this. It's a
two year program and most people who get hired in
this program out of athletes will take on an additional
(09:16):
workload after those two years. I don't know, you know,
that's whatever. The Boise State coach. Boise State head softball
coach reached out to CAMMI wants to hire her on
as a full time assistant.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
No, She's gotten so many different, you know, job opportunities,
but I love that she's going to stay at all State.
And they told her, if you want to and you
get the opportunity to go play ball in Italy, will
work with you, so you know.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
What to have the opportunities.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Boise State's aloe with the blue football field, right.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I told her, I'm like, no Boise State as the
blue football just like I know, mom. I love the
Heisman Trophy. He didn't win the Heisman Trophy, but he
was a candidate last year because on the night of
he wore was team colors. He's like I wouldn't be
here without my team, so I'm repping them and Cami
love that. So you know what she's not. And all
of you guys please know this about your own athletes,
your own children, their sport or their activity, whether it's
(10:10):
the stage, or whether it's their maybe their genius and science,
whatever they choose to love and dive into, it's not
what defines them as people. They are people. They did
a great job playing and doing what they love to do,
but that's not who they really are as a person.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Ah, that's really important for us to remember as parents
and his individuals too.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
There's so much more. She's so much more than just
a softball player. I love, love, love. In fact, Chris,
you have to tell me, Kayla what you noticed quickly
at the gas stage. He just told me this story today,
because you know the lives she's touched, these little girls.
She'll forever be remembered as twenty seven came, he quartercracks
a softball player. But what'd you notice today?
Speaker 4 (10:51):
So it was it wasn't just today, it was a
few days ago. When I went to the Lifetime up
here in Dublin. I was just walking in and I
see these two probably high school girls. What I'm going
to assume they're wearing Ohio State softball like Ohio's the
softball shirts. And as I see I see as they're leaving,
I see that on the back they say twenty seven
(11:12):
quarter cracks.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, that's so cool.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
At the gas station, the UDF and Dublin, I saw one.
I saw two more. One was wearing quarter cracks and
one was wearing just a high state softball shirt. So
in the span of like a few days, I've seen
three people wear can number. And with the shirt.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
She's left her mark and it is really I'm going
to tell you, it's necessarily not at all what she
did on the field. It's how she's treated everybody from
her freshman year through her senior year. She will give
you all her heart and she'll.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Coach you up too.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And that's why the Boise State coach wants her because
she has a way of motivating people.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
But that's so rare. Usually you have to be a
grad assistant or something first, you know, but he wants
to hire her quarter cracks time assistant. I mean, you
know what. So thanks for everybody just loving on her
and following her career. It's been awesome, and I can't
wait to see the next step this softball program will
go because two Q has set the tone for me
for years on.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It and I can't wait to see what Cam's going
to decide to do. So we'll be waiting this summer
to see what happens.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I made me moving to Italy.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I'll be visiting you, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I was going to bring you a Memorial Day Margarita,
but I got you this instead because you surprised me
last I did with the Cutwater oh cut Water Water's
legit vote, we're white clawing it today.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Favor mine's BlackBerry, which I've not had before. What is yours?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Mine is ruby grapefruit. Because there's everybody having cookouts and
getting together with partying, so we are to have our own,
and we're glad you're along for the ride.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
We are.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
We're going to talk about grilling and safety a little
bit with some of my colleagues actually coming up in
the five o'clock hour Ohio State Fire Marshal's office, and
we'll talk a little bit about drinking while you're grilling too,
and what you should be aware of so we're not
grilling ourselves, right now we also have COSI in.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Today.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
We have COSI in and they're giving away tickets. So
you know what, Now that it's the unofficial start to
summer and schools will start getting out in Northwest Ohio
where we just were for Randy's dad, they're already out.
They're already out for summer break. They're done, they're done.
So that means COSI is a great option to keep
those brains a tick in and learning. There's so much
there and you get free tickets if you call in
(13:25):
and win.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah, we have a giveaways and we're also going to
talk about graduations.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
You've had a lot of graduation parties. I've had a.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Couple, came from one.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I just came from one actually in Westerville.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
And there's this viral video that if you haven't heard it,
Oh my gosh, we'll talk about it today.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Oh my goodness. Just think of this. If your sixth
grade self could interview you today, what would that sixth
grade self want to know?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
So cool lots coming up.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Six one four eight two one nine eight eighty six

is what matters
