  Speaker 1: Yeah, then went into acting and now selling trash bags
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and yeah, were you were you? Were you a fan? Though?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Did you know he was bold? No? Just read it?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: He is Apparently he just had his second hair transplant.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: He should have gone to Vanscoy. Seriously, but they've got
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a picture of him here he's at the transplant place
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: where and he's he is completely bold?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Oh I see him. Yeah, it happens.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I I I never would have guessed. I mean seriously,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the work that he had done looked really good. Yeah.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know when, but I guess it didn't. It
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: didn't take so oh yeah, he said he's all in
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: this time. He did everything that they offered, and I
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: never would have guessed.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: It looked good.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: So it did.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: If it's on there and he was wrestling. That's good stuff,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: But seriously, John, if this one doesn't work, fans coy
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: trust me on it. I have forgotten. Seriously, if I don't,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I get up, I look in the mirror, I'm like, yeah,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: it's me. It's it's the bold thing is alien to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: me now, it really is. And when I go in
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: for my little monthly visit up there and everything and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: they do all the removal and replacement and all that
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff, I said there, I look at myself like,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: who are you? Because it's just I don't know. It
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: just doesn't even feel like me. All right, So back
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court, And honestly, you know how I am.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: If you've listened to me for any period of time,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you know how I am. I am not. I'm not
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: one of those overbearing I'm gonna shout you down kind
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of if if though you believe the Supreme Court was
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: on the wrong side of this transgender issue today, that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: they came like three of our our Democrat justices did,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I would like your honest opinion, your sincere thoughts. I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: don't know that we've got a lot of people in
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: this audience that will be along those lines. But as
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I was saying, going into the bottom of the art,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: break once. Once we start to eliminate distinguishing between genders
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and just allowing anybody to be whatever it is they male, female, hybrid.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm part monkey and part naga hyde, sofa whatever.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: When we get to that stage, every piece of legislation
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that has been written and passed in this country that
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: says Black Americans deserve this, and women's women deserve this,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and Native Americans deserve this, and that all has to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: go away if we homogenize into we're all just androgynous people.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Are we people? Maybe we're not even people. I don't know.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: We have no distinguishing characteristics that determine our gender, or
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: our race or anything else. Then nothing, I mean this sincerely,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: nothing applies anymore. And quite frankly, that scares me. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: don't want to live in a world where the men's
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: room can have anybody who wants to know no, because
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it's a man's room just like women. You know, you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: guys do things in there that we don't know about.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: We just know. Apparently it has to involve a sofa,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: because a lot of your bad rooms have sophas in them.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: But we we don't want to see what you and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: you don't need to see what that's us. But we're
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: allowed to have that, that little enclave of privacy because
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: there are men and women. If there are no longer
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: men and women, you don't have it. And if there
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: are no men and women and there's no black and white,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and there's no uh no, uh no, distinguishing of any kind,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: won't be long before that what do they call those,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: those pervent people, the uh the man boy love people,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: what do they yeah, the namele of people. Won't be
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: long before they say, you know, it's it. We really
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be distinguishing between children and adults. Adults are nothing
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: more than children that have just been alive longer. They're
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: all the same things. So man boy love is fine.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: This is a dangerous You talk about slippery slope. This
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: is a slippery slope. We have to differentiate. We have
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to let me say it one more time. We have
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to differentiate. It's at the core of everything we do
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: in this country. Or again, maybe that's just me A
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: two one nine eight eighty six eight two one WTV.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: And you are welcome to have a differing opinion, debate, debate, discussion,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: disagreement with respect. That's that's how I am. But as
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I said, I don't expect anybody in this audience to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to say, Yep, you're wrong on this. We ought to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: have nothing. No, I don't think that'll happen. You really
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: haven't chimed in on this at all today, Zach. I mean,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I know you're generally a weird person, but every now
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and then you make sense. Where did you come down
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: on this.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: The transgender Yeah?
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: No, there's nothing really else to add to it, because
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: the only thing I did find interesting in some is
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: like if someone in New York can play if if
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: they're a trans, if they're a dude playing on a
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: women's team, and they go to another state like Jersey,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: and they have different rules that workout. So I would
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: assume it was it depends on what state have which rules.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Right, A man who's on a women's team in New
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Jersey can then go with that woman's team and play
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: in Ohio. But Ohio does not recognize this male as
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: a female, So would they still be a I don't know.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I guess they can share on the sidelines because it
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: is up to the state that can approve or disapprove.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the states would each have to take a position,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and then you then here you are, You're right back.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: What if the the you know, voting laws were different
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: in every state. What if you know, something's got to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: be universal, And I would say, you know, whether you're
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a male or female is probably something that should be
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: one of those universal things that should be a federal determination.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: You can't have one state or another. Now. We saw
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: many years ago it was Massachusetts was the closest place
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: where gay marriage could be performed, and the states, while
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: not adopting gay marriage, many of them immediately just said, okay, well,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: if you are married in Massachusetts and you have a
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: marriage license, just like having a driver's license in Massachusetts,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: you can drive in Ohio. And if you're married in Massachusetts,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you're married in Ohio. So a lot of people would
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: go there and get married and then relocate to other places.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I don't even know at this point, it's become such
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a non issue. I don't even know how many states
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: actually perform or allow gay marriages to happen. Now, do you?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: It's legal in all fifty states.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: It is all fifty now, correct.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Ober Ober Fell versus Hodges.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: But there's a Ober group anyway, twenty fifteen, it's legal.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: All fifteen does the same thing about territories like Gua,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I'm in Puerto Rico and so forth. As it.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Just all fifty states of DC. Okay, I can't see
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: anything else at the moment.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. For for a lot of years, you know, Massachusetts
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: was kind of the go to. It was like incorporating
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: your your business in Delaware.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: It was a long drive.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, but still if you wanted to be married,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: that's where you had to go. And for better or
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: for worse, it is what it is. And as Zach said,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: now all fifty states have have gay marriage. While I
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: might not understand it, I'm not the one getting married.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: And while it might, you know, some people might find it, well,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: that's that's an affront to religion, or it's an affront
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to God or what. Well then then then I you know,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I'm one of those people that chooses to let God
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: sort that out. I'm not going to jump into that.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: It is what it is and it doesn't affect me.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: So live your life, be happy, do the best you can,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: be the best kind of human being you can be.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: And I don't care about the other stuff, but I
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: do care about whether your decisions, your view of yourself
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: affects all the rest of us. And that's why I have,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: you know, nothing but happiness over this issue that happened today.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: We still have not, and I'm surprised we have not.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I'm really surprised. But one of the first things I
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: worried about when this all of what's it been seven
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: eight years now, and when we first started having the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: you know, target saying they've had gender neutral bathrooms, and
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: people were all crazy about it. And I got to thinking,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you know, as soon as you know, some high and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: mighty political type or rich attorney type or whatever, as
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: soon as his little princess pops up on YouTube because
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: some boy identifying as a girl was hanging out in
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the locker room after gym class, this will come to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a head real quick. And I'm truly because just the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: foul nature of human beings as it is today, I'm
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: truly surprised that hasn't happened, or if it has, I've
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: missed the story. Have you ever heard of anything like
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that happening?
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: No?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: See, does it make sense that it hasn't happened? I
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think so either, because people are
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: so foul and doing something like that, you know, revenge,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: porn and all that kind of stuff. Quite frankly, you
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: would think a lot of angry high schoolers would be
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: doing that kind of stuff to each other and causing
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: quite a stir And because you're in a state where
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: they say, well, he identifies as a girl, so he
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: can go in the girl's locker room, or she identifies
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: as a boy so she can go in the boy's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: locker room. When the government basically hands the crook the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: keys to enter your house, is it stealing, right? I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. One more dirtball thought before
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I get out of here. By the way, what man,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: there's so many dirtball stories.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I thought you just meant your dirt ball and these
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: are your thoughts.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: No, well, I don't know how much time do I have.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I got a dirtball story, and I got another reason
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: to yell at Columbus City Council. Which one do I.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Do Columbus City Council.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, after all the stuff we've gone through over here
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: at McCoy Park on Harmon Avenue on the south side,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: not the southwest side. I don't care what they say
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: on the south side. City Council reviews southwest side parks
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: plan amid McCoy Park soccer facility debate. Here's the story,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: real quick. Council members getting their first look at a
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: new proposal to expand parks and recreation on the city
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: southwest side, a plan shaped by controversy over a National
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Women's soccer league trading facility at McCoy Park. A working
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: group has recommended I don't know who's in that group.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know who appointed them, I don't know who
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: told them to work. A working group has recommended spreading
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: new amenities across several areas instead of focusing only on
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: McCoy Park. Renderings of the proposal show improvements planned for
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: green Leaf Park, McCoy Park, and Berliner Park. The Mayor's
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: office set Remember that fifteen million dollar deficit we were
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: just talking about two days ago. The Mayor's office set
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the thirty five million dollar investment would serve nearly fifty
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: thousand residents, more than triple the number reached under the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: original plan focused only on McCoy Park. First projects expected
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to break ground later this year. So we're going to
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: go thirty five mil and concentrate on several parks, and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: we're talking about a fifteen million dollar deficie it already. Yeah,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: that's not smart. Secondly, where is Burliner? Do you know
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: where Burliner is? Do you know where it is? Greenlawn
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Avenue east of seventy one, lots of traffic, lots of traffic.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: McCoy Park. Where is it on Harmon Avenue? One lane
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: each direction? Lots of traffic, including a bunch of big trucks.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Greenleaf park Way over yonder west of there at Brown
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Road and green Leaf Road right in that area. You've
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: taken the idea, the concept of making a neighborhood park
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: nicer for the residents around there largely trailer park quite frankly,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: where these people could have gone right there in their
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: neighborhood walking distance. And now we're going to spread amenute
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: these over three parks. And what are the kids going
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to do? Ride their bikes down Harmon Avenue, all the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: dump trucks come riding their bikes. Let them ride their
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: bikes down Greenlawn Avenue under the seventy one bridge. I
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: don't even like to take my car through there by
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the way fifteen million dollar deficit. Have you get driven
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: on Greenlawn Avenue lately, it's like the surface of the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: blasted moon. And as far as Greenleaf Park, it's too
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: far away for anybody in those areas to care about.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: That's a whole different community, whole different neighborhood. Oh. Columbus
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: City Council
