- 0:22Speaker 4: but I don't know if he meant like I don't know.
- 0:25Speaker 4: I don't think it's anything to be really upset about.
- 0:28Speaker 1: He's just I think he's he's a really, really athletically

- 1:15Speaker 1: James is selling his credibility one decision at a time.
- 1:20Speaker 1: I'm impressed their right. He didn't announce his retirement. He
- 1:24Speaker 1: what he did was he had a video out there
- 1:27Speaker 1: that he had posted to social media that said this
- 1:30Speaker 1: was the decision of all decisions. And so people were,
- 1:35Speaker 1: you know, anticipating a big, big announcement. No, he's actually

- 2:03Speaker 2: Was when he was leaving to go to the heat.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:05Speaker 4: Yeah, and he made like a whole hour long interview
- 2:08Speaker 4: or I'm going to take my tet this is and
- 2:09Speaker 4: they called it the decision.
- 2:11Speaker 3: So I think he's.
- 2:13Speaker 1: That And I'll be honestly, when he first came out
- 2:16Speaker 1: of high school, I was I was talking about the
- 2:18Speaker 1: kid like crazy. He was a high school kid. I
- 2:20Speaker 1: was talking about him while he was still playing in
- 2:22Speaker 1: high school. He was a phenomenon and he just he
- 2:26Speaker 1: was something else. I wanted him to be somebody that
- 2:30Speaker 1: I liked, and uh, you know, when he went to
- 2:33Speaker 1: the Cavaliers, I was very happy about that. But as
- 2:35Speaker 1: his head got bigger than the rest of the team,
- 2:38Speaker 1: he just I didn't have any use for him.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair off the court. On the court, he's
- 2:43Speaker 3: as good as people say is.
- 2:44Speaker 4: But off the court he said some things about China
- 2:46Speaker 4: that I was.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Like, he's good.
- 2:49Speaker 1: He's good, but you know, he gets away with a
- 2:51Speaker 1: lot of crap. They overlook a lot of things that
- 2:53Speaker 1: he really should get called for. And uh, and then
- 2:56Speaker 1: his dramatics if he gets fout or whatever. You need
- 3:00Speaker 1: my pennic spell out, just shut out and stand up.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Man. You're getting paid too much money for that.
- 3:05Speaker 4: Yeah, he winds a lot, a whole bunch like Michael
- 3:09Speaker 4: Jordan ever wind him like that?
- 3:10Speaker 2: And who names their son after a paper towel.
- 3:13Speaker 3: I'm just saying I want have named a bounty.
- 3:18Speaker 2: Bounty would be good.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Yeah, better than brawny. So Columbus Man The Comeless Dispatch
- 3:26Speaker 1: covering this by the way.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
- 3:29Speaker 1: A Columbus man will spend the rest of his life
- 3:32Speaker 1: behind bars after being sentenced to more than a century
- 3:35Speaker 1: in prison for running a drug traffic trafficking organization. Franklin
- 3:39Speaker 1: County Common Please. Court Judge Julie Lynch, you go, Julie
- 3:43Speaker 1: go girl, sentenced forty year old Troy Locke on October
- 3:47Speaker 1: sixth to one hundred twelve to one hundred and seventeen
- 3:51Speaker 1: and a half years in prison. That's the way you
- 3:53Speaker 1: do it.
- 3:55Speaker 3: So he has a chance to get out, Yeah, sure
- 3:57Speaker 3: he does.
- 3:58Speaker 1: A jury convicted him October for more than a dozen crimes,
- 4:01Speaker 1: including engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, selling fentanyl, cocaine,
- 4:05Speaker 1: and herowood. Some of these charges came with a major
- 4:07Speaker 1: drug offender specification requiring mandatory prison time. According to the
- 4:11Speaker 1: court records, Locke ran the drug ring between now listen
- 4:14Speaker 1: to this November twenty twenty and August twenty twenty one,
- 4:17Speaker 1: so he didn't even have like a full year of
- 4:19Speaker 1: seniority in the gig. Court records show detectives began investigating
- 4:23Speaker 1: Locke's activities in twenty twenty one, obtaining a wiretap to
- 4:26Speaker 1: listen to phone calls he was making. His phone calls
- 4:29Speaker 1: revealed that he worked to increase the potency of his
- 4:32Speaker 1: product so that his product would be fire as they say,
- 4:36Speaker 1: and highly desired by the community of drug users. That
- 4:39Speaker 1: he served solely for the benefit of himself, prosecutors said
- 4:43Speaker 1: in a sentencing memo. Court records indicate Locke was the
- 4:47Speaker 1: sole person running the drug trafficking ring, using addicts, friends,
- 4:51Speaker 1: and family members to market and sell his drugs across
- 4:54Speaker 1: Franklin County. Locke was previously convicted in federal court of
- 4:57Speaker 1: selling cocaine and served time in federal prison. But of
- 5:00Speaker 1: course we let him out. Let's see, that's the problem.
- 5:04Speaker 1: He has two other drug trafficking cases still pending in
- 5:07Speaker 1: Franklin County Common Police Court. And here's my question, why
- 5:10Speaker 1: the hell are we gonna waste the money on that.
- 5:14Speaker 3: Yeah, he's already in jail.
- 5:15Speaker 2: One hundred eleven to one hundred and seventeen years. He's
- 5:18Speaker 2: not getting out.
- 5:18Speaker 4: Yeah, he doesn't sound exactly like Pablo Ascobar.
- 5:22Speaker 1: No, not really, but he was trying to be a
- 5:24Speaker 1: one man operation, trying to be that guy. Here's the deal, though,
- 5:28Speaker 1: if they're drug offenses, that he still has outstanding. What
- 5:33Speaker 1: is the point now if it was like, you know,
- 5:34Speaker 1: he had killed somebody's family member and we needed to
- 5:37Speaker 1: get closure for that family, and they needed him to
- 5:39Speaker 1: specifically be convicted for killing someone. Okay, I got that
- 5:44Speaker 1: go ahead to have the trial. But when you've been
- 5:47Speaker 1: sentenced to one hundred and eleven years minimum for drug offenses,
- 5:52Speaker 1: is it really necessary to waste the taxpayer dollars to
- 5:54Speaker 1: go through two more cases, which.
- 5:55Speaker 4: Are to just drop the charges already doesn't make any difference?
- 6:00Speaker 4: And what are you gonna give him extra life? He's
- 6:02Speaker 4: he's done?
- 6:05Speaker 2: Could we do that?
- 6:06Speaker 1: Because the judge could just say, after death, you will
- 6:08Speaker 1: be reanimated and brought back to serve another life term.
- 6:11Speaker 4: I don't know if that's I don't know if that's
- 6:13Speaker 4: possible yet.
- 6:14Speaker 2: If when it becomes possible, would you be in favor
- 6:17Speaker 2: of that?
- 6:18Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, depending on how severe though.
- 6:20Speaker 1: That could be Hell on earth? What if you could
- 6:22Speaker 1: just keep being brought back to life and then sentenced
- 6:24Speaker 1: to you know, one hundred consecutive life sentences?
- 6:27Speaker 4: I mean true, It depends on what you did where
- 6:30Speaker 4: they put you in jail too. Do you have consciousness
- 6:32Speaker 4: about what you did in your pass life.
- 6:35Speaker 1: I would think you should. Yeah, so you can suffer
- 6:37Speaker 1: as much as possible. And no, man, I really missed up.
- 6:39Speaker 1: This is my eighteenth life term.
- 6:42Speaker 3: Really you should have three hundred and seventy life terms.
- 6:46Speaker 2: You have to pay for this stuff.
- 6:47Speaker 1: So anyway, I just wanted to let you know a
- 6:49Speaker 1: bad guy went to jail. Speaking of consciousness after death.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Did you ever watch that show? It was called what
- 6:53Speaker 1: was it? Upload or download?
- 6:55Speaker 3: I have not seen whatever you're talking about it.
- 6:58Speaker 2: I can't remember what it was. I think it was upload.
- 7:02Speaker 1: And I might have told you about this before, where
- 7:04Speaker 1: when you die, your consciousness is loaded into a computer
- 7:07Speaker 1: program and they can pick where you live, whether you
- 7:11Speaker 1: want to live in the country or whatever, and your
- 7:13Speaker 1: consciousness continues to live on as you in this computer
- 7:19Speaker 1: world like you're inside the matrix. Oh okay, and if
- 7:21Speaker 1: you're rich, you can live in a nice place and
- 7:24Speaker 1: you know, but if you're broke, you can't afford all
- 7:28Speaker 1: those amenities, so they're still soaking you. You probably have
- 7:31Speaker 1: to pay property taxes on the house you own in
- 7:33Speaker 1: the computer program, but they're still soaking you after death.
- 7:37Speaker 1: To pay for this stuff.
- 7:38Speaker 4: Imagine if you have it in debt, like you're in
- 7:40Speaker 4: a computer world, but you can't get Wi Fi or something.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Just well yeah, and that's see, that's what the poor
- 7:45Speaker 1: people who are up there like. You only get like
- 7:47Speaker 1: one gig or whatever of activity, and once you've used
- 7:49Speaker 1: your one gig, you're done for the month until your
- 7:53Speaker 1: family puts some more money in there.
- 7:54Speaker 2: Not cool.
- 7:55Speaker 1: So yeah, you can just be and you're just frozen.
- 7:59Speaker 1: And and you know you're frozen because you're conscious inside
- 8:03Speaker 1: the program.
- 8:04Speaker 3: It's either called upload or download, is it?
- 8:07Speaker 2: And it was?
- 8:08Speaker 1: I watched I think three seasons of it, if I'm
- 8:10Speaker 1: not mistaken, and I waited for the next season to
- 8:13Speaker 1: come out, and it took forever and I never got
- 8:15Speaker 1: back to it.
- 8:17Speaker 3: Well they have, I mean, I'm looking at it.
- 8:19Speaker 4: It did season four and it just it.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Was it Amazon Prime or was that Amazon Prime?
- 8:27Speaker 4: Okay, it ended this year, actually last month it ended.
- 8:31Speaker 1: I may go back and re equainate myself with the
- 8:34Speaker 1: end of season three so I can watch season four
- 8:35Speaker 1: because I did the same thing with Ozark. I never
- 8:38Speaker 1: actually finished out the series finished it either, and that
- 8:41Speaker 1: made me mad because I was really into it.
- 8:43Speaker 3: It's a good show.
- 8:44Speaker 1: I am currently streaming old episodes of Person of Interest.
- 8:48Speaker 1: I am obsessed with that show. Cavisl was perfect and
- 8:52Speaker 1: uh and it was way before it's time. If you
- 8:54Speaker 1: have not watched it, it is available on a paramount.
- 8:57Speaker 2: I think it is. And it was.
- 9:00Speaker 1: It was fifteen years ahead of its time. It is today.
- 9:04Speaker 1: That show really is today. However, the guy who plays
- 9:07Speaker 1: Harold in that is also in uh Elsbeth, and he
- 9:12Speaker 1: plays a mean, deceitful judge in Elsbeth.
- 9:16Speaker 3: The short guy.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Yeah, the little guy was a good actor. He's awesome.
- 9:19Speaker 2: I don't even know his name.
- 9:20Speaker 3: Then I forget, it doesn't matter.
- 9:22Speaker 2: He was also in Good and Evil?
- 9:24Speaker 1: Did you see that on NBC for a couple of
- 9:26Speaker 1: seasons that like, We're okay?
- 9:28Speaker 2: He was. He was basically Satan.
- 9:30Speaker 4: So there was a woman who had was she like struggling, yes,
- 9:36Speaker 4: struggling with her religious.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Yeah, anything else? And he is he is the Satanic
- 9:42Speaker 1: invader in that too. He and I don't know his
- 9:44Speaker 1: name because he's such a wonderful actor. I only know
- 9:46Speaker 1: the characters that he plays.
- 9:48Speaker 4: Yeah, I know you don't like Lost, but he was
- 9:50Speaker 4: phenomenal in Lass.
- 9:51Speaker 2: I didn't know.
- 9:51Speaker 1: I never even watched Lost. And then of course, Tulsa
- 9:54Speaker 1: King Season three is in progress right now, we've had
- 9:57Speaker 1: what three episodes in at stallone is still magnificent?
- 10:02Speaker 2: Still good?
- 10:02Speaker 1: Huh, it is still I'll tell you what. The end
- 10:06Speaker 1: of episode one in season three, you have no choice
- 10:10Speaker 1: but to continue watching when the way it ends you
- 10:12Speaker 1: just it's like if a television show could be sold
- 10:17Speaker 1: by this guy that just got sitting into one hundred
- 10:19Speaker 1: and eleven years, put in a needle and injected into
- 10:22Speaker 1: you so that you became an addict. Tulsa King has
- 10:25Speaker 1: done that to me. Okay, Sunday Nights, it's it is
- 10:29Speaker 1: my new Walking Dead. Sunday Nights used to be Walking
- 10:32Speaker 1: Dead for my son and.
- 10:33Speaker 3: I and that show went on too long, it did.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Yeah, after they spent way too much time at the farm.
- 10:42Speaker 2: That was maybe that's.
- 10:43Speaker 4: Where it lost me too, because I remember they made
- 10:47Speaker 4: it to a town or something. Yes, later, but that
- 10:50Speaker 4: was after I stopped watching.
- 10:51Speaker 2: And it was run by a crazy man.
- 10:53Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, and he kept his daughter or
- 10:55Speaker 4: something who was.
- 10:56Speaker 1: A yes, yes, he his his kids. He kept them
- 11:00Speaker 1: on chains or whatever because they had they turned. And
- 11:03Speaker 1: then there was who was the one guy, the crazy
- 11:05Speaker 1: guy in the leather jacket that carried the ball back.
- 11:07Speaker 3: That's who I was thinking.
- 11:09Speaker 2: The Governor's who you're thinking of.
- 11:11Speaker 1: They kept his butt, but then the one guy just
- 11:14Speaker 1: was bashing in heads with the ball.
- 11:15Speaker 2: But oh my gosh, it got crazy.
