  Speaker 1: a two one WUTV. And I'm done griping about the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: hospital thing now I want to move on to something else.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I watched a movie on what was it, Yeah, Amazon
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Prime Video this weekend, and it was one of those
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: times when I'm just like, Okay, I need to just chill.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Because I worked. I had Thursday and Friday off, and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: to be frank with you, the Queen had a little
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: medical situation and I needed to be available to her
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: for that period so she will always come first. And
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I made you the point that I was there to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: lift anything that needed to be lifted and cook meals
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: and whatever it took, because I try to be a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: good husband. I do so Anyway, I also had to
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: work a lot. I've been running all over doing paperwork
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: for clients. It's really heating up out there. So despite
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: what you hear on the six o'clock news, and I
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: know gas prices are high and everything else, what I
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: felt this weekend didn't feel like anything slowing down. It
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: was it was it was wonderfully treacherous. And the Queen said,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you know you're so tired. You've been
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I'd say, yeah, but you know what, I'm getting stuff done.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And I love that. Tired is fine. I love tired.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I love exhausted as long as there's a result. I
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: hate being tired for nothing, but I love being tired
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: with the result, like working on the lawn when I
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: got it cut over the weekend. So you're just you've
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: had enough today, Just you're not going to cut the grass.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And yes I am. And I go out there and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I get it done, and I'm my you know, my
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: leg's hurting. Man, I'm in misery, but it's going to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: get done. And when it got done, I was able
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to go, yeah, you know it's done. It looks good.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I'm happy and and uh tired, Yes, in pain, Yes,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: didn't matter. So that's kind of weekend I had. It
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: was It was. It was wonderful.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: The sense of accomplishment.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, so much to you, especially if you're not you yourself,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: but I mean anybody.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: It's just can be a highly important factor in your life.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, it just it, I don't know, it's just it
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: is very empowering to be, you know, constantly going and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: getting things done, making things happen, and and I loved it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So at the end of the weekend, I'm like, I'm
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna take a hot shower here, just kind
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of chill out and watch a movie. Didn't see anything
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that I'd heard of that I was particularly going, Oh, yes,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I need to watch that. So I came across one
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: called Mercy Mercy on Amazon Prime. Have you, by chance
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: watched that, Zachary.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's it about.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: The Mercy Court. If that makes no sense to you,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: then you have not seen the movie.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: The Okay, that's the one where it's like an AI.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: It is, the judge is artificial intelligence.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: So I was doing where was that Bryce's and we
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: were like mess cleaning stuff. I had to leave, but
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: it started and I got like fifteen twenty minutes in,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: and that's it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I would advise you to go back and watch it
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: from the beginning again, because I'm telling you this is
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: sci fi right now, this is SI reality in a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: couple of years.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Seriously, totally, yeah.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: AI with no emotions simply takes the facts of the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: case and you are not taken to Mercy Court unless
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: it's a slam dunk. On the opinion of the police
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: is it's a slam dunk conviction. And so the guy
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: who was taken before the court was the detective who
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: brought the first person to Mercy Court when it was created.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And he is accused of killing his wife and he
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: is confronting this AI judge and he has ninety minutes.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: All these resources are at his disposal. He can call people,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: he can check records, he can bring a whatever AI
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: has at its disposal he can use to defend himself.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And it's a very intense movie. There's no nudity, there's
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: not f bombs. It's something you can, you know, watch
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: with the watch with somebody who may be a little
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: more you know, tender if you will, who doesn't like
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. But it is it is almost
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: frankly hitchcockish, if you will. It's suspenseful and you're trying
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to figure this out because at the beginning of the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: movie you're like, yep, he did it. Middle of the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: movie you're like, I don't know, maybe he didn't do it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I'm change your mind.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Okay. That means it's a good movie.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I got to the part where you know he's accused
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: of it, and then you see through his viewpoint, like
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I think he's in a kitchen or side, and that's it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: And then it was the end.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: But I saw where he got taken by the cops
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: in a bar and he's.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Like, I don't remember this exactly, so I.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Don't know anything else, but it looked really good.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: It is a very very good movie. I don't know
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: who the stars are. I have no idea. I don't
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: know who directed it. I don't know when it was released.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I know that it is on Amazon Prime. It is
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: called Mercy, and I highly recommend this if you like
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: suspense type movies, or if you are just intrigued by
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the whole AI conversation. The movie cannot be that old,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: since AI is, you know, basically the center this year?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Was it just this year? Okay? Are you? Did you
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: pull it up there? Who's who's the star? Who's is
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that Chris Pratsey. I don't know celebrities. He could be
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: out here slashing my tires in the parking lot right now.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I couldn't give a description to the.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Police, like I know his name, but I saw the
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: face I'm like, do I know that guy?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but I knew the name, so it
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: makes sense.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, well highly recommended Mercy Watch. Yes, absolutely, I gotta
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: say something, but I don't know what to say regarding
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Ted Ginn Ted Ginn Jr. Coach Ted Ginn Junior. I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: don't know what's going on in his life. I don't
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: know what's going on in his mind. I was so
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: sad to hear about his arrest d UI in Texas,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: And I don't you have to be just stupid drunk
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to get DUI in Texas? I mean because they I
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: don't even think they have an open container. I think
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you can be driving your truck and drinking a beer
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: in Texas, can't you? Probably really so, I don't know
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: how much he had had to drink, but I seriously,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I seriously just shut up for about thirty seconds when
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I heard that news and said a little prayer for him,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: because he is he is, by way of his dad's legend,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: more than just a Buckeye football legend. And I don't
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: know if he was depressed because they haven't won anything yet,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: or was he elated that he had a head coaching
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: job even in the UFL. That's a big step. That's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: something to be proud of. Domestic stuff, families. I don't know.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I am. I am so so
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: very sad that whatever happened caused him to take this route.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: And I just want to say, oh, I wish all
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the best to Tedgain. When he was wearing scarlet and gray,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: he was amazing and his dad has continued to be
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: a source of inspiration for young players and and that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: name is a respected name when it comes to football
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: in the state of Ohio, and I hate to see
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: it sullied by something like this. So whatever it is,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I hope they get it straightened out quickly and and
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: he can get back to doing what he was doing.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And I hope the UFL will give him that opportunity.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Anybody can mess up once, and I don't know that
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: he's had, you know, a bunch of EUIs or anything
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: like that. So benefit of the doubt and best wishes
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: and prayers. That's what it comes down to. Another story
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: that came out and I people put me in a
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: position to do something I hate doing, but that was
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: defending Amy acton, who I do not want as governor
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: of the State of Ohio, who I absolutely believe handled
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: COVID like it was her own little private playhouse, and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: she made us all miserable, and she shut down things,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and she stopped things, and she kept things from happening,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and she made idle predictions of massive destruction of human life.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: And she's a joke, and she was complicit in our
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: downfall in many, many ways in the state of Ohio
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: during COVID, and could not have done so without the help,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: quite frankly, of our current governor. Did I say that
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: out loud? Hell yes, I did so. That being said,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: story came out over the weekend about her and a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: domestic violence call to her house in twenty nineteen, where
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: apparently she was drinking and had also been taken her
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: prescription medications and she is drunk and her and her
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: husband were arguing and she said, I'm just gone. I'm
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: not sad for this, and he said, no, you're not
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: going anywhere, and he's taking the keys, and they're fighting
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: over whether or not she's going to leave the house,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and she pulled a mirror off the wall, I guess,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and busted up the mirror, and so the police were
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: called due to this argument. All of that said, let
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: he who is without sin.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, that's not the worst thing
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: that could possibly That's right exactly.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: There are plenty of reasons that I would never vote
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: for this woman. That ain't one of them. That you know,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that's one of those things. Look, we had a Republican
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that was going to run for governor. I'm not going
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to use their name, but I was supportive of this
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: person and she it was a woman there. I gave
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: that away. She backed out of the race because her
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: son was an addict and there had been apparently several
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: calls for ambulances and so forth to her house due
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to his addiction.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Was it a different time period. I don't want to
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: narrow it.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: It's been fairly recently. It's been fairly reach.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: At this point, more people should know anybody's child.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Can become Amen. Let the church speak, it's not bad
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: parenting exactly. That This was no reflection on her or
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: her parenting ability, or her character or anything else. But
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: you know, basically, she did not want to throw her
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: kid under the bus for his addiction. She tried to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: get him help, it wasn't working so far, and she
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: didn't want everybody going, oh, your kid's a drag addic.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I tried. I tried to encourage her, and I failed.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: But I think, quite frankly, that's a badge of honor
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: because all the hell that you're obviously going through and
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you're still stick and and and uh and and you're
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: capable of doing this job. I was. I was, Uh,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I was pretty intrigued by the human being behind the story.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: People don't want that kind of stuff to come out,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: especially if it hurts someone else. Now they don't, They
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: don't seem to feel the same way. In fact, I
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: guess it's expected. I would want, frankly, if somebody were
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: running for office who has been in some trouble, had
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: some issues, had some you know, their kids have gone astray,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and and uh, maybe they got bad breath or whatever.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: You know, that's just that's like, that's what I'm looking for,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: somebody with the mental capacity and ability to do the job,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: but with the life experience to understand what it is
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: we are going through on a daily basis. So many
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: people want to make a big deal out it. Well,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: you've never worked a job in the private sector, Okay,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I know that comes about a lot. You hear that
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: crap a lot. You've been in government your entire life,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: but you know what, There's something to be said for
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: you never chosen between gasoline and groceries. There's something to
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: be said for you never had to tell your kid
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that can't afford a birthday party for him. There's something
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to be said for you didn't pay a traffic ticket
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: because you didn't have the money, and they came with
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: a bench wharton and put you in jail until you
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: could pay your traffic ticket. There's something to be said
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: for people who have lived life and not lived on
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: just a beautiful aisle in the kingdom of non reality.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I admire somebody who comes through battles with scars and
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: awe and comes back to fight again. The pristine people
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: with forty eight degrees on their walls, who have never
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: had dirty fingernails don't impress me. But we have too
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: few of them who are in office, and far too
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: few of them that would ever run for office, because, hey,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: face it, the powers that be don't get behind people
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: like that. As far as I'm concerned, we see again
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: right now in the state of Ohio. I want to
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: see some life experience more so than anything else. I
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: truly do not care how many degrees you have, what
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: school you attended, what your major might have been, what
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: your grade point average was. Common sense, the ability to
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: understand your responsibility to the voters, and the guts to
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: stand up and represent them as you know you need
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: to represent them. That's more important to me than anything
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: you can hang on your wall, and your willingness to
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: do that on my behalf as a citizen. Far more
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: important to me than anything that's ever happened with your kids,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: unless you've gone out here and deliberately killed somebody, or
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: even not deliberately, you got drunk and you ran somebody
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: over and they died or were permanently injured or whatever. Okay,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have a problem with that. Yes, your
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: lack of responsibility, that's a big deal. But if just
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the circumstances of life might have given you a few
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: hurdles to overcome the fact that you overcame them, I
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: consider it a badge of honor. Pretty pristine is not
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: all that important to me, So I guess I'm saying
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: that as much about politicians as I am about you, me,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: your kids, and my kids. Not Zach though. Yeah, he's
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, you're welcome.
