0:00

Ah, and there you are. Come over here, give me

0:04

a kiss.

0:06

Wow. Oh what'd you have for lunch?

0:11

Subway? Sorry about oh.

0:13

No onions next time please.

0:16

You're like, don't smell like you were eating fresh You're

0:21

back man, there you are?

0:23

Well, then my key worked.

0:24

Okay, that's good. Always it's always a positive day in

0:28

radio when your fob worked. You're like, Okay, door opened.

0:31

I guess I'm still on.

0:32

I've actually worked in places like that before. And guy

0:35

showed up from vacation, comes back. Our studios are right

0:37

at the front of the building. You can see the entrance to the building. And this guy comes back and

0:41

he's like, beep beep, then the key. They fired him

0:45

while he was on vacation.

0:46

So you were in the studio.

0:48

I was on the air at the time.

0:49

Did you make eye contact with him?

0:51

Yeah, he could see me, and I'm like giving him

0:53

the face. I can't do anything. Memo came out. Yeah,

0:57

that is.

0:57

Bizarre that you had to be the right there staring

1:01

at him when it finds out and he didn't look

1:05

at email. It might have been a time when you

1:07

didn't really have access outside of Orkil.

1:10

At that point, the internet was very, very young. Yeah.

1:13

We actually got to remember a paper memo saying that

1:15

this guy had been let go.

1:16

And it's funny. The place I've worked for a million

1:19

years across the street was an actual key that opened

1:22

the door. So you can't turn off someone's key. You

1:26

gotta wait till either you're standing out there when they

1:29

roll up or when you come in they go yeah,

1:33

we you know, someone's around the corner going hi, we

1:36

need to talk to you, and this this way please, which is a much I don't know. Is that a

1:41

more dangerous thing when they can get into the.

1:43

Building these days? Yeah, these days it could be.

1:47

Yeah. I mean when you're going fob doesn't work and

1:50

you're pulling on the door, I mean, how much more

1:52

pissed off are you? And I don't know, just depends

1:55

on the person, right.

1:56

I've never actually been fired myself. I've been laid off,

1:59

you know, but we don't like what you're doing here.

2:02

You need to go.

2:02

I got fired in Cincinnati. They walked me out of

2:05

the building. Security did really yeah wow, And I was

2:08

just like, what's going like? And it's funny, I'm the

2:11

last person. Look if you tell me I'm going I'm

2:14

by I'm leaving. I'm not gonna go what why. I'm

2:19

just not that person, you know. I don't know, and

2:21

I'm not trying to not trying to whatever position or

2:24

whatever right now. But when that happened and that, but

2:27

they were later on and it was I by the way,

2:30

it was iHeart and so I'll let you. Oh yeah,

2:33

what they said, they said, you're can you can be rehired.

2:38

And it was on EBN and Cincinnati. We got walked

2:41

out of there. We were only there eight months doing the morning show and then boom, that was it. The

2:44

guy who replaced us is still on the air down there.

2:47

Wow.

2:47

So there it is kid Chris, who a nice enough guy.

2:52

But what happens in this business, unfortunately, is like a

2:55

new boss comes in, they bring their quarterback with them

2:57

from Atlanta. Yeah, and then that was that.

3:00

It's nice that you can say that nice enough guy.

3:02

He really was. Kids, He's a really good dude. He's

3:05

really super nice. I never met him right then, but

3:08

later on I met him at an event, and.

3:09

I know me better than that. I couldn't do that.

3:11

Oh see, it's not on him.

3:13

I don't want to.

3:14

I don't want you would replace somebody.

3:15

I mean, I I just I wouldn't even want to

3:18

know my last go round before I came back here,

3:23

I've never listened to the person who came in after me. Yeah,

3:26

I just I don't want. I don't I have no interest.

3:29

You know, I'm so surprised by that, because I know you,

3:31

I've known you, We've known each other our entire careers.

3:34

We went to broadcasting school together, all of that. And

3:37

as confident as you are and I and as confident

3:40

as I am, it's just I'm surprised to hear you

3:42

say that because I don't have a pro I would

3:44

be like, that's whoever's on after me.

3:47

There's only one or two ways you could feel though.

3:49

You're either going, well, you know this guy is better

3:51

than I ever was, or he sucks? Why am I gone?

3:54

Those are your only two ways?

3:55

That's always they suck? Why are you gone? What are

3:58

you talking about? Nobody's ever better than you.

4:00

I wish good things on everybody, even people that you know,

4:04

even people that replace me. But I just don't want to stand there.

4:06

And I gotcha, I got I understand. I understand what

4:09

you're talking about. Where were we? Oh?

4:12

You were missing me? A lot.

4:14

I was.

4:14

I remember I was man and man still taste those onions?

4:19

Yeah, sorry about that. Uh. The you you told me

4:23

a real quick story right before we were going on,

4:26

which I think is funny. Where you come out and

4:28

you yelled something, but you were talking to a radio

4:31

maybe yes, right, and and and you had somebody next door,

4:35

and and it'll make sense to you in a second,

4:38

but I just thought it was funny what you said.

4:40

My neighbor is having some work done. They're doing like

4:43

siding work or gut or work or something. But there's

4:45

guys up on on ladders and as you as you

4:48

might imagine, they they probably didn't grow up here. I

4:51

didn't hear them speaking anything remotely resembling English, so their

4:55

their language skills are probably not what they could be.

4:59

But I I I was working on the lawn, cutting

5:01

the grass and everything today and I had the ear buds in in this wonderful radio station. I love you,

5:06

I love you, I do, I seriously do has one

5:09

particular element that every time I hear it, I cringe. Yeah,

5:13

And I heard it as I was walking out the door.

5:16

This guy is up on a ladder balancing himself. Try

5:19

to I walk out the door with the earbuds in,

5:22

not even thinking about shut up, will you? And he goes,

5:25

oh what? And I almost scared that poor man off

5:27

the ladder, and I felt so terrible. I wish I

5:30

knew his address. I'd send him flowers. It was. It

5:34

made me feel bad because he was like, legitimately scared.

5:37

He's up there balancing on a ladder for goodness sake.

5:40

But with earbuds in, you don't hear yourself well.

5:43

And yeah, you're louder than you Yeah, voicemade per appear

5:48

louder than in rear view mirror. I So the reason

5:53

that I thought that was funny is we have painters

5:56

at the house. They're doing the exterior of the house

5:58

and they shut up yesterday to powerwash. They powerwashed first,

6:03

then let it dry, and they're doing most of I

6:05

think probably most of it today. I mean, what a

6:07

great day to paint and get it to dry and all this with the nice it's not really humid, it's

6:12

warm out and so on and so forth. The brain's not supposed to come into I don't see them finishing today,

6:17

but I'd be shocked if they did. Let's just put

6:20

it that way. Anyway, it's a couple guys who I don't.

6:24

I don't. I heard them speaking to each other, not English.

6:28

There's a couple of them, and dude, they have these huge,

6:33

these huge ladders that are going you know, thirty feet

6:35

into the air or whatever. And so I when I

6:41

came outside, I walked around the side, and I think

6:44

he might have had like earbuds in or whatever. And

6:48

this guy is add about a hondo to you. And

6:51

he's up on this ladder. Really, I'm not kidding. You

6:54

got maybe sixty pounds somewhere around there. It's he's he

6:59

is a big deal. He's a big boy up on

7:02

that ladder. And I'm talking, dude, he's up to he's

7:04

twenty eight feet in the airsh somewhere twenty five feet.

7:07

That's a good ladder. That's all.

7:11

That ladders liked to keep from collapsing because it's the

7:15

two the two parter. It's not one big over there.

7:19

Oh yeah, Oh my gosh.

7:21

And so Jack, oh my gosh. I almost said, Jasmine,

7:25

Holy col I'm so sorry, Jasmine, rest your soul esther

7:29

is losing her mind. Like I mean, dude, where if

7:33

I let her out? It was it was all over.

7:35

She was gonna eat him, you know what I mean, It's all over. She's gonna eat him. That's it.

7:39

She starts eating on him. Hey Dad, I'm gonna need

7:42

some help.

7:43

Can we put some of this in the fridge for later.

7:46

I'm just picturing those aluminum rungs on the ladder going

7:49

count me you're doing.

7:54

So I'm like, you know, I'm like, you know, yelling

7:58

at her. And when I yell, he saw me. And

8:01

there's no stabilizer on the top of this ladder. It's

8:05

just leaning against the house. Oh dude, it didn't nothing,

8:09

but it like it was. It like rocked a little bit,

8:12

and I'm like, oh my god. Like I just was

8:14

like I I got her and went back in the house.

8:17

I'm like, oh my god, Like, oh, if that's it

8:21

probably is over. If you fall from that far, yeah,

8:25

twenty five feet. I mean if you even if you

8:28

land on your you're gonna be probably six or eight

8:30

inches shorter if you land on your feet.

8:32

From that huh, twenty of your parents was a cat. You might be okay, but that's about it.

8:36

Oh. Anyway, that was like the close call, and the

8:39

other one was you know how they they're taping off

8:42

the windows and putting the plastic over him. So when

8:44

they paint, and that same guy was up and it

8:47

was belly was coming out of at the bottom of

8:50

his shirt was like pressed against the window. And I'm

8:52

sitting there looking at TV this morning, trying to get

8:55

you look at different stuff for the show. And I

8:57

look over, I'm like, come on, man, what I gotta

8:59

I'm I wasn't having breakfast.

9:01

You should tip him with a DVD copy of The Blob.

9:04

That would be cool.

9:08

Jane Fonda workout, like, remember that.

9:11

I may still have that on VHS somewhere. I watched

9:14

it for about three minutes. I went, Jane is crazy,

9:17

and I never watched it again. I was done.

9:20

That's it. That is it.

9:22

Remember a twenty minute workout used to come on at six o'clock in the morning. Usually had three girls, one

9:26

of which was always very, very sweaty, and they would

9:29

just do like aerobic stuff for twenty minutes in the morning.

9:32

I don't remember that, but I'd like to have remembered that.

9:34

I tried doing that once too. The word once is

9:37

very pertinent there.

9:41

How about this, doesn't Ohio University president signing the letter

9:45

against Trump's political interference. As they're calling it, the price

9:50

of a bridging the defining freedoms of American higher education

9:54

will be paid by our students in our society. This

9:57

is the letter. Did Kamala write this?

9:59

It doesn't it sound like it came straight out of

10:01

a playbook? It really does.

10:03

Yeah, or out of her empty head. Just let's just

10:07

put a bunch of words in this and that basically

10:10

mean you're not playing fair. We want our money.

10:14

We have betsies. By the way, the.

10:17

Letter also states that American institutions of higher learning are

10:21

essential to American prosperity and serve as productive partners with

10:26

government in promoting the common good. They're in life. What's

10:30

the definition of common good? That's the problem with the

10:34

end of that statement. I mean common good that is

10:38

so different for so many people. Why do you automatically

10:40

assume everybody that is going to college is on your side,

10:45

mister indoctrinating professor or head of said establishment learning, when we.

10:52

Don't have universities on the other end of the spectrum

10:54

that you know, we've had liberal arts degrees, Why are

10:57

there no conservative arts degrees? Why not just put it

11:00

out there and say yeah, we don't believe in that yeah bs that they're pumping out there today. We are

11:05

a conservative leading school. Like a Hills Deal. There's got

11:07

to be more than one Hills Deal out there.

11:09

That goes on to state we're open to constructive reform

11:13

and do not oppose legitimate government oversight. Therein lies the

11:18

term again legitimate. However, we must oppose undue government intrusion

11:23

in the lives of those who learn, live and work

11:26

on our campuses. Then they go on to say da

11:29

da da da da. Here. I feel like the easiest

11:32

answer to this is if you don't want government input,

11:35

then don't take the money. It's that simple. If you

11:38

can do whatever you want, then right you can teach

11:41

that you know, purple dragons inhabit caves, that you know,

11:45

we can take you there and show you about whatever

11:47

you want. Just you don't have to abide by anything. Now,

11:51

will you get people that go, let's see, I mean,

11:54

do it the way, go as far left as you

11:57

really want to go, and let's see if anybody is.

11:58

Attending open mar be as left as you want to

12:01

be or as right as you want to be. I say this about everything where America we're supposed to be

12:06

about freedom. Be what you are. They will either come

12:09

or they will not. You will either survive and thrive

12:12

or you will not. But it's America. Take your shot,

12:14

and what happens happens.

12:16

So here's some of the leaders that sign this petition.

12:21

Oberlin College, Auduvine University, Columbus CCAD, Columbus College of Art

12:26

and Design, Antioch College, Wittenberg, Heidelberg Capital, Kenyon, the College

12:32

of Wooster, University of Dayton, Ohio, Westland, and Dennison are

12:37

on this list.

12:38

I would like to thank Ohio Dominican University for not

12:40

being on that list.

12:41

Well, give them time. Maybe they end up on it,

12:43

but let's hope you're right.

12:44

Yeah, but I don't want to have a bad attitude today.

12:48

I understand. Also, I did a little bit of research.

12:51

Ohio is home to a range of colleges and universities,

12:55

a total of eighty eight higher education institutions. And so

12:59

then they break down on all of that, and so

13:01

I go, all right, so twelve schools a dozen, that's twelve, right,

13:04

A dozen is twelve twelve schools out of eighty eight

13:08

in Ohio, so about thirteen percent. So thirteen percent get

13:11

to decide the direction of everybody.

13:14

That's the typic about right. Democrat, Yeah, New York and California,

13:18

you should decide who are president's going to be. That's how they think.

13:21

Unbelievable, right, and that is the big headline in the

13:24

dish rag. They're acting like, you know, a dozen university

13:28

presidents signed letter against Okay, that's thirteen percent, right around,

13:33

just below fourteen percent. We're going to get exact out

13:36

of the eighty eight higher education institutions. Yet you're trying

13:40

to tell us they get to decide everything with regard

13:43

to Trump and the quote unquote political interference that's going.

13:47

That the subjective nature of where it's like appropriate and

13:51

so forth. Who makes that determination? If the majority of

13:55

the people don't, then we're not talking about a democracy,

13:59

are we?
