Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
We were able to celebrate Mother's Day about a month
ago and we were taking calls for moms today were
taking calls for dads, all kinds of funny, goofy, sad, touching,
incredible stories. This is your day to celebrate dad with us.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Sarah, we've seen you on the line.

Speaker 4 (00:15):
Thank you waiting for waiting so patiently for us, because
we Keaton had quite the story. So yeah, what did
you have to tell us? We're glad that you're on
the show today, Starred.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
I'd like to offer my condolences to losing a pyramid
parent is so so difficult. Well, mine's a funny story.
My sister husband lived in Westerville and my dad came
in from Warren for a visit. He spent two nights
with her and in the middle of the night they
heard this horrible scream and they jumped up. He had

(00:48):
gone to the bathroom. Well, they have a Golden Retriever
named Aspen, and during the thunderstorms, Aspen is terrified and
she gets into the bathtub and when I had was
in the bathroom, she stuck her head out of the
curtain and just scared the livid day like that. But
they rushed him because they thought he had fallen down.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Oh that's funny.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
That is funny. We need funny stories like that.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Sometimes people think they have to call in with something
serious or inspirational. Sometimes just those funny stories are the
ones that last.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Yeah, it's our memories for decades.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
So really appreciate I think, Sarah, good afternoon.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
You too.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Thanks for listening and thanks for calling in, Sarah. We
appreciate it if you want to share a story or
just say Happy Father's Day to your own dad, and
you think this might be a different way of doing it.
Six one four eight two one nine eight eighty six.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
You know, Marcus just wanted to do something easy today.
We had church yesterday and birthday parties and things like that,
so today he wanted to take it easy and we
went to Ray Ray's Hogpit. You know, they have such
good barbecue. I don't know if you've had ray Rays before.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Remember I'm a vegetarian.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Well but I'm not to make you, but they didn't
have barbecue calliflower, and it's one of their main things
on their menu.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
That's what I mean. A lot of places need to
give barbecue.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
You need to get to ray Rays I didn't know
if Randy's ever So when I ask you, is it
has your family hat it?

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:15):
So Ray raise, it's a staple.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Awesome, you know.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
And so they have a new brick and mortar on
High Street in Clintonville.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
So Marcus wanted to go there.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Oh see, I know that it's nice to get I
think of them always winning something at the job in
jazz and Ridfest or something.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah, with their truck, right, and so now they have
a place in Clintonville. So Marcus wanted to go do that.
He wanted to watch golf, and he wanted to take
a nap, and he has done all those things.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
He's probably still napping right now.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
It's funny. We did a little trivia thing and maybe
we'll do it a little later in the show if
we have time. But it mentions what is the number
one thing that fathers want? And this is according to
a you gov poll, the number one thing that fathers
want this year for Father's Day.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
We have some space, we want have to do some
more Fathers Day at like five point twenty, and we'll
do to do that.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
That would be great. And so what did Randy do today?

Speaker 4 (03:04):
He did church with Cammy but given all of this,
it is hard to do Father's Day.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
It is on the heels.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
He's very a good guy. You know. I honestly think
Randy's the best husband out there. He is totally my rock.
So yes, if it was husband's Day, it would celebrate
all the time. But I honestly look at Ran and
he's such a good dad too, because he's so sensible.
Like I'm emotions all over, you know, I lead with

(03:30):
my heart, I lead with my probably my Italian passion
and emotions.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
True, yes, and I.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Get a little carried away where he's always so reserved
and so sensible and makes sense of everything. He's been
such a great dad to Kylon and Cameron all through
the years, through their ups, their downs, their successes, their sadness,
whatever it is. He is just been. I couldn't ask
for a better dad. I really really couldn't. In fact,

(03:57):
he reminds me Cammy has had all kinds of success
so far in her little young life. And we've talked
about that year and a year out through here, through
the year, through the years, I should say, and Kylin
is just in a different phase. And I think guys
grow up differently than girls. He's been successful in his
own right and in his own way. You love your
kids all the same, you love them differently and you

(04:21):
celebrate them differently. But Randy is great at reminding me,
you know where I was when I was twenty three
years old. Give Kylon some grace, Give Kylon some time.
He's got a great heart. He'll get everything together when
he's meant to get things together. And sometimes me, as
a mom who wants everything done yesterday, sometimes I need

(04:41):
to hear that you do. And he's a great example
of that. Because if I would have known Randy when
he was twenty three years old, I probably would never
have married him. I love talking to his in laws
all these stories they say to me all the time,
And Cammy's right by my side and she's flabbergast. She's like,
they tell me all the time, you saved Randy. Like

(05:02):
if you would have known Randy back in the day,
he was so different the moment he met you. Cameron
looks at them like they're crazy, because she's like, my
dad is my hero. I don't know him anything, but.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Being all they're saying, Mindy snapped it together. So is
he taking it easy today?

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Like a's good.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, I think he still trying to. It wasn't really
easy for him to answer emails, texts, phone calls right
away about the death of his father, right, So, I
think he's taken some time today to get back with people.
He appreciates every single person who has reached out to him.
So I think he's just taken a day for himself
and just kind of answer everybody. Randy and I are
going to meet up with Cammy because Coylin's and Strongsville

(05:41):
after the show. Thee hot topic that and I know
we lo have it like thirty seconds, but I've teased
this and we just went on the air. Mikayla. This
is horrible. So when it comes to a national study
across the country, only six percent of Americans are estranged
from their moms, only six percent. That number of quadruples

(06:02):
when it comes to fathers and their children. That's sad
to me.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
Well, you have a generation right now of millennials who
are going no contact with their parents.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
I've seen stuff on this so much.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Because they live very differently than their boomer parents. I mean,
and I don't know if you've seen any of this,
but there's plenty of stuff out there on it, and
it is sad and you want you want relationships to
be mended, but there also has to be compromised. And
you have to realize that your adult millennial children are

(06:39):
grown adult millennial children, and they're not going to do
things exactly the way you want them to do it. Right,
that's part of the problem, right, Millennials living a life
that maybe their dad didn't agree with.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
So the things that you've seen, is this a conscious
decision by the parent, by the dad or boy, the kids,
the kids, they just say, you know what, it's not
how I want to live out a colleague person, I'm
a dune person. I'm different.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
They call it going no contact, which actually there's like
a phrase for that. Yeah, if you were to going
no contact with your parents.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Well, I'm against going no contact.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
I know you are.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Know you suck it up, You face the good with
the bad. There's nothing like family.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
There's not.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
But I also think that parents have a job to
understand because a lot of these folks, the reason they
go no contact is their parents don't understand something they're doing.
And I'm not just talking extreme things. I'm talking about
maybe even the way they're raising their kids. Right, there's
a lack of agreement, and so while I agree with you,
it is not the way to go. Can there be
some compromise. I think life's about compromise when you have

(07:43):
adults in the room.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Compromise and another see communication.

Speaker 5 (07:47):
Yes, compromise and communication because one day, I'm telling you
right now, if something were to happen to your mother
or your father and you never mended that fence and
they die before you had the chance to say.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
I love you or I'm sorry, let's work this out,
You're going to regret it. Never go through life regretting anything.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
We're going to talk to ann Hurst later in the show.
We're gonna have to ask her about that stat Yeah,
we have. Well, she's a former colleague of yours and
I just know her because of you and Marcus. But
Olivia Fecto's in next with us. No, I never worked
with her, and she is talking about medical debt and
her battle and what she's fighting for at the state House.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
So she joins us next here on what matters
