  Speaker 1: Let me start with this first. I posted on my
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Facebook page and I verified the story first. It's a shame.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: It is a shame that in twenty twenty five we
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: even have to verify these types of things. But there's
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: a story about a young girl, thirteen year old Goo,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: missing from the Reynoldsburg area. Jess mean, I forgot the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: last name already, not find kind look that up for me,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: WI youaseach, But anyway, I called the Reynoldsburg Police Department
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: verified it is indeed a true story. Thirteen years old.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: She's been missing since I believe the eleventh or I'm sorry,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the fifth today being the eleventh. But keep your eyes
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: open for her. I mean, it's cold outside and you
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: never know what somebody's story is. But when it comes
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to kids, I you know, I always want to get
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that stuff out there. And unfortunately I'm skeptical now when
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I see these stories because there's some dirtball, you know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: who thinks it's funny or things they can profit or
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: something like that that puts out things that they know
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: people are gonna go, oh my gosh. That one. The
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: police story, for example, the missing police officer from a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: few months ago. Do you remember that one that was
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: floating all over the place, except the officer. While the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: story remained the same and the officer's name remained the same,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: there were different pictures of different officers. It was a
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: completely fake story, but it was It led you to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: believe that there was a police officer who, you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: in the course of performing her duties, was abducted or something,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: but had disappeared. And police departments all over the country
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: were getting these, you know, calls about a missing officer.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: And you know, fortunately I'm a detailed kind of guy.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: When it came through that this was a Columbus police
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: officer missing, first thing I noticed was in the wrong uniform.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: The patch on the arm was not the right patch,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the badge was not the right badge, and so I
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: knew immediately this is a scam. But when it comes
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to things like missing children and so forth, you never know.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: And I just I wanted to make sure that you knew.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I put it up on the Facebook page. There's a
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: picture of her, a good picture of her. Just please
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: do keep your eyes open. What did you get her
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: last names?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Act?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, he's he's busy playing Space Invaders again.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: So this is not a good thing.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: There's so many what do you type in missing persons
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: so and so or whatever city, there's so many people
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: that come up.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I just figured you look at my Facebook page. Well
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: posted it on that.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I didn't know you put on your Facebook page.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I just said that he pays no attention to me.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: None, none, jasmina.

• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of my favorite teachers in high school was mister Link.
• 2:52

• 2:54
  Speaker 1: So I wouldn't know anything about Zelda no one, So,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: jasmina link. Thirteen years of ature pictures up on my
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Facebook page. Just look up Chuck Douglas, a big melon
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: head in a blue suit and check that. It'll be
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the second post on my page and you can get
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a picture of her. I heard that story. Did you
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: catch what Allison was saying about the they want to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: go back and explore the Edmund Fitzgerald again? Did you
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: hear what that was? Apparently after all these years, wait,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: we need theme music for that. Do you have the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: theme music ready for that? Because they need Yes.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Some of the family members aren't too happy about it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: It seems like.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Because I don't understand why after all these years, why
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: is why is first of all, what's there left to investigate?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I've never met anybody who calls superior. Gets you Goomy,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: by the way, Get you Goomy. This is a tragic
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: song about a tragic event, and for some reason I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: always check chuckled during this song because there is one stanza.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: There is one stanza in the song, and I think
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: it's I think it's either the third or fourth during
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the chorus of by this. This an excellent bathroom song
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: if you ever go into radio and you're playing an
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: oldiest station or something, because it's like six minutes eighteen
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: seconds long.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's six minutes.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I saw Gordon Lightfook in concert before he passed
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: away at the Palace Theater and his voice still sounded wonderful.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I wasn't all that impressed with whoever was running sound
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: for the show. They had way too much high end
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: in it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: But was he a one hit wonder?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: That's not a Gordon Lightfoot?
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know anything about him.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Go, oh my gosh. No, man, the guy ruled the charts. Okay,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you can bring that down, now, bring it down. It's
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: oh here he goes again. Uh yeah, if you could
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: read my mind. Love what a till the that's good too.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: That's my favorite. But in the in the Edmund FitzGeralds
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: song again about the sinking of a ship and all
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: these people die. But I think it's the third or
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: fourth stanza, and the lyrics are when supper time came,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the old cook came on dicks in, fellas, it's too
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: rough to feed you at seven pm, A main hatchway
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: given and he said, fellows, it's been good to know you.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: That's not funny, but I always laugh. I'm just the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: ship is going down and fellas, it's been good to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: know you. It's been good. Yeah. So anyway, they're going
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to explore the Edmon Fitzgerald, and I don't know why.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know after all these years, what they could
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: possibly be looking for. And I don't know really what
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the family objecting, or the family is objecting. I'm not
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: sure what those objections are. I'm not negating them. I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: just don't know what they would be after all these years.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Superior is a deep and cold I imagine there's probably
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: things preserved on that wreck just because of the temperatures
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: in the water. But anyway, the Edmin Fitzgerald back in
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the news. Mark and I were for some reason burst
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: out into singing the Jello Gelatin jingle about forty five
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: minutes ago.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: It's really miserable.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: We sounded like the Mormon Tabernacle radio hosts and okay,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: but it got me thinking about all of the stuff
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: that we used to eat that was inspired, especially kids,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: stuff that was inspired by songs.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Food.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: When they advertised food, there used to be music. Honeycomb's big. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: it's not small. No, no, no, you remember that. There's
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I can't think of is there any food item that
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: advertises with a song now? Because nothing comes to mind
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that I can think of, and I mean some of them.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: There was a soft drink called Help Help Help, the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: real fruit drink red and purple and orange and pink.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I don't make a ton of jingles for things like
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: they used to.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: No, there's really not, and I kind of miss especially
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: again with the kids stuff, the fun stuff, the colorful stuff,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the fruity stuff, the mostly chemically created stuff that the jingles,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the jingles used to sell them to the kids.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: I mean the jingles look at Heartland Bank like between breaks,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: we'll see yesh Heartland Bank song.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: We hear it so much.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we gather around, will build a little campfire in
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the studio and sing the Heartland Bank jingle.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: But it sticks with you. If you hear it more
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: than once.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: You can't get away from it. And I just find
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: it funny that it is so effective, and yet there
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: are all these you know, marketing people out there who
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: think they know what they're they're saying and what they're doing,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: and they will, oh, that's old school. People don't respond
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to that. Yeah, they do. And I just I find
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: myself after singing the Jello song, I find myself thinking,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I miss I miss commercial jingles. Fago in thirty two
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: or forty eight in either size, Fago's great regular in
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: sugar free Fago, which is made right here in central Ohio,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Shasta and Feago over on Growport Road. You a Shasta
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: fan or a Fago fan?
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: No, nothing against them, It's just not my really, it's
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: not my thing.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I still to this day, would you know not hot
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: day loving a nice Fago red pop? Are you love that? Rid?
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Are you part of the Juggalo crew like insane clown posse?
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Because they drink Fago?
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Do they really? Yeah?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: That's their big thing.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: That I didn't know that. I just think more products
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: need jingles more I don't. I don't have a reason
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: for it. Just as a consumer, I miss jingles, and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I think that if somebody were to come out of
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the game and say, you know what, we're going to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: start doing jingles for everything again, I seriously think they
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: would see a marked difference in people buying their product.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: And if I'm wrong, you know it's their money, not mine.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I don't care. Just say, Ohio retailer to leave its
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: doors closed on Black Friday. It's the second year in
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a row. I've never heard of this Ohio retailer. It's
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: called Recreational Equipment. Ink. Are you familiar with them?
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: No, I've never heard of them.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Are EI? They apparently they're based. I think they're based
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in Denver. But they're going to be closed on Thanksgiving,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: which is good. But they're also closing on Black Friday,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: which again I harken back, just like with the jingles,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I miss. I miss the excite of Black Friday. I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: miss Do you remember when Black Friday actually occurred on
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Black Friday? Yes?
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: But the internet was the Internet killed it?
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, it killed it. It killed Super Bowl commercials. I'm
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: not super Bowl commercials are out there on the internet
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: a month before the Super Bowl. I would love to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: see people back in the brick and mortar stores that
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: day after Thanksgiving, still weighed down by way too much
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: turkey and punkin pie, getting up at four am going
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: out to get that there's three TVs at that price, man,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: but we're gonna stand in line to get one of them. Yeah.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: No, my sister in law would get up.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: She was out there at three in the morning, or
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: like religiously, yes, every single Black Friday it was a
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: big deal.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: And you go out and buy a newspaper so that
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: you could see all the ads the day before and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: know who had and you you know, commando teams. Okay,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: now you take the Walmart. I'm gonna go over here
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to the Meyers store. Bob and Peggy, we're gonna need
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: you to hit this that. It was like a straight
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: we'll all meet up for lunch here at it was.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: It was part of the essence of the holiday season.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Was I think because of that that in person collaboration
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: between friends and family members going out to get these
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: deals and you know, out into the fray, I think
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: there was a communal Now listen, hear me out. People,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: hear me out, because I mean this, there was a
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: communal thing. We were all out there at some ridiculous
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: hour going into the stores try to get these deals,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: trying to get the Cabbage Patch kids for the baby
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: or whatever, and there was something that kind of brought
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: us together as we kicked off that Christmas season. It
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't the cold, unattached www everything coming to your front door,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: soulless essentially Christmas gift giving that it has been. I
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: think Black Friday was good for us. I think bustling
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: shopping malls and a vibrant downtown shopping experience was wonderful
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: for us. Technology is a wonderful thing, but it's really
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: just taken the soul out of us in so many ways.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: And I'm you know, the fourteen thousand employees with this
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: company that are going to have Thanksgiving off and a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: paid day off on Friday, well, good for them and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: God bless but really just a big picture perspective of
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. I missed the days when we used
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: to go out there and as people walk by with
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: their treasures and did our Christmas thing. It made Christmas
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: a more I don't know, enjoyable time of year than
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: just spending money. And is this a gift? Click the box,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: who's it going to? Put their name in there, put
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the shipping address in there. You never have to see them,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you never deal with them. You just send them something
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that's just wow. That seems harsh, but it is what
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: it is.
