  Speaker 1: Franklin County Sheriff's Office doing something today that honestly kind
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: of bothers me. I mean, I know it's probably what
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the people want. You got to get the people, get
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the people what they want. But I don't think this
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: was a good idea. I don't and I'm going to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: get into that here momentarily. Bob is standing by. I
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: guess he has some thoughts on my thoughts on our
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: outgoing governor, Michael Douay. And let's get him on the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone lines. Bob, you're on
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: six NATV and hype.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Hello, Jack, I haven't called in a while. This is
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: South End, Bob.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: What's up? South End?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Bob? I can't really tell much difference between the west
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: side and the south is.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Well, when i'ms west and what i'm south.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, now it's clear. I was wondering how they figured
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: that out. But anyhow, what I'm going to miss the
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: most about losing our governor is says, while we're all
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: dying from COVID, his quaint little stories about when he
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: had a puppy or a pony or whatever, and.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: My net Chige got my net chie from that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: That's about all I'm gonna miss baby. I'm like, I
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: am not happy with him, and I wonder how ineffective
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: he really was for us in.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: DC, Bob, do you what do you? I mean? Are
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: we on the same page though? When he says the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: most distressing or what was it the most disappointing thing
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: of his his time as governor was legalizing gambling. I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: mean he didn't.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: He didn't ask you or me what was the most
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: disappointing No, he didn't.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I just I just find it odd because if I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: take the two big stories out of the last year,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: so legalized sports gambling and legalized marijuana, I would say
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: a societal impact of legalized marijuana is much larger than
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: somebody blowing their paycheck on the Bengals.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I'm what. I'm with you on that, Chuck. But these
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: are nowheres near the most disappointing things he's done as governor.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what what is Is there anything that automatically pops
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to the absolute top of the list for you?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: No? Not really, I got it's a pretty big list
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: it is. I'm like, I don't. I just wonder how
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: ineffective he was when he was in DC for the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: state of Ohio.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, he had a lot of good press for
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of years, that's for sure. Well, doesn't necessarily yeah,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean anything. It's just you know, if they
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: talk nice about you have a tendency to I guess
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know. They're saying nice stuff. You don't get
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: put in the spotlight very often.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I know it's important that he had a pony
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: while we were all dying from COVID.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's true. You didn't stand up and drink
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: anything during COVID, did you, Bob. No, you're a good American.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And I put my mask on for one to the bathroom.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Oh that will see. That's excellent. I've made a few
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: trips like that myself. All right, Bob, I appreciate the call,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: but he thanks very much. Yeah, the mask going to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the bathroom probably not a bad idea. There are still people,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: as recently as this week, I have encountered masked people. Yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I see him sometimes and I just I'm sorry, I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: don't get it. I don't get it. I had one actually, Dan,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: one of the listeners, his sister was making cloth masks,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and so she made me a Bengals mask and I
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: kept that in the car, specifically, specifically, if I had
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to go in Kroger and grab something, Yeah, that was
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the only otherwise you were not going to see me
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: wearing a mask. You know. I didn't do any of
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the booty columns, the vaccines, alleged vaccines really weren't vaccines.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Didn't do any of those. And I lived my life.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't lock myself down and refused to stand up
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: while consuming anything. And I just as much as was
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: available to me. I continued to live. And here I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: am and people say, well, you just got lucky. How
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: did that happen? Because the COVID was all over it
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: was gonna get you everywhere. Man, I love that idea.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And see again, get off. You've got to be home
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: by ten o'clock, which was stupid, But that is the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: same thing that happened in the city of Columbus, probably
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: four or five years ago. It's not good there anymore.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: There used to be a a UDF store over on
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: my beloved west side. It was open twenty four hours,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and I was drinking a lot of coffee, and I
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: wasn't sleeping very much because sometimes, frankly, life is hell.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So I would be over there getting coffee all the time.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Plus every time I filled my coffee cup, I got
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: another three cents off a gallon of gas. And I
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: was drinking lots of coffee, so I was getting lots
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of money off gas too. And I go over there
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: one night, It's probably it was somewhere between one and two,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and as I'm exiting, I got pulled over by a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Columbus police officer who handed me a flyer from the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: City Columbus to explain to me how I was encouraging
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: crime by being out after one am because of all
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the hookers and drugs and stuff over there. I wasn't
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: supposed to be out after one am. It didn't meet
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: with the city's approval. And they were actually handing these
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: out two people.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: You know, if you were out there or not, it
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: was the same problems were going to happen you didn't.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I don't understand how you were encouraging any.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Well, because if you're out there after one o'clock, you
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: must be a criminal. So I guess they you know,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: they were going to clean everything up by getting rid
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: of all the good people, letting them know don't be
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: out here. It was so stupid.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I used to work nights sometimes and I would get
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: off or late evenings, and sometimes I wouldn't get off
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: work till one, yeah, two, and I would go shopping
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: at like Meyer and I'd be the I kind of
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: liked it. I was the only one in there, he says.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: You know, as a single guy, I man nights. I
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: love nights. Yeah, I love nights. I used to do
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: a request show and I would get off the air
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: at three am. And back then, subway was twenty four
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: hours a day, and there was a guy named Paul
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that worked at a subway that listened to the show
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: every night, and he told me where he worked in
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: one night, I was hungry, I stopped by and I figure,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I say hi to this guy, get us up. Well,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that became like a regular thing. Now. Paul wanted to
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: be an EMT. I don't know if he ever made
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: it or not. He was a bigin. I mean I
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: was a biggin and he was a biggin big guy.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if he ever became an EMT
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: or not. But you know, stopping by there at three
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: point thirty in the morning on the way on the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: way home from getting off the air was completely normal
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: to me because I didn't have, you know, kids and
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: family and all that kind of stuff to worry about.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I like the nighttime. I enjoy the night time. I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily enjoy some of the things that go on
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: anymore in the nighttime around here in the city of
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Columbus or all over the country.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Well, that would do if you were at home.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: But if yeah, handing me a flyer, having you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: lightened me up with the red and blues, and handing
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: me a flyer to tell me I shouldn't be out
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: after one o'clock because I'm encouraging crime. Man, what a
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: lefty thing to do. But we're living in a lefty city. Unfortunately,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that's the same logic that says be home by ten
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: o'clock or the covid'll get you. Don't stand up at
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the bar and drink your beer or the covid'll get you.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: The nanny state, it is a nanny state. Instead of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: dealing with the problem that is there, you want to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: deal with all the other stuff around it and then
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: close your eyes really tight, click your heels together three times,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and it'll go away. That's not a reality. You want
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to complain, You want to protest, you want to you
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: know ice is a problem, and immigration patrols or a problem. Well, no,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the problem is illegal immigration. But you want to get
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: rid of the immigration enforcement. Click your heels three times,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: and everybody's a citizen. It's like this fantasy world that
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: people live in. If you just go home at the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: right time and just be in the right position while
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you're consuming your beverage. It's sad, And as I said,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: it's sad to me that the outgoing governor with so
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: many things. First of all, I don't know that i'd
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: have answered the question. My biggest regret right while I
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: was running the state of Ohio. I'm you know, that's
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: what's well. I no regret you. I love doing what
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I do. I hope I served well, go home, have
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a fringe pie. I'm good. I wouldn't have answered the question.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: But if you're going to answer the question, it should
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: not it should not sound like a nanny state answer.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: And this did. This did. Legal weed is much more
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: dangerous to society than legal sports gambling, and the fact
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: that we even limited it to just sports, that's something else.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: If you're gonna wage or what the hell, let people
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: wager on what they want to wager on. Go over
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to Great Britain. Man, you can wager on anything. Huh,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: twenty pounds on whether or not I'll make a bet
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: in the next five seconds.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Poop.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Oh look, I wan, you know that the Brits will
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: wager on anything. But why specifically think about this? Why
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: specifically sports wagering in the state of Ohio. This is
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a serious question. Think about it, zach Any thoughts.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know brings in revenue, right, so I don't
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: know what the problem.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: How many sports books as they call them, were standing
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: by and ready to begin advertising to get your business
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the minute it was approved. A lot Hmmm, I don't know. Hmm,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: big budget sports books. They wanted the business they wanted
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: in the state, and they were ready to get it
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: as soon as it was passed. I'm not saying any
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: lobbyists took anybody to lunch. I'm just saying, hmm, but
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: why just sports again? Things to think about. Gamble away
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: your paycheck? Will your kids will be hungry if you
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: you gamble your paycheck and you get my groceries. True,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: and a tragedy that is confined to that household. And
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: hopefully you know somebody in the household has the good
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: sense to do something to fix it. You did something
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: stupid confined to that household. You go. Are they still
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: is it still joints? Do you smoke joints when you
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: smoke the weed? Now that's what we smoked. They smoked back. Yeah.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I don't if there's still joints or not. But let's
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: let's call them joints, just because I like saying the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: word choints. Let's say you blow three joints and then
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: you hop in the car and decide to make a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: munchies run to the store. Anybody on the road is
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: now in danger. But legalizing sports gambling is his biggest
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: regret that that says a ton. As far as I'm concerned.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: I do like how it's a sport. Sports gambling is
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: a huge regret.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: It should be.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: People are still going to bet on sports. If I
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: have a sex addiction and go buy a hooker and
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: then my kid doesn't have anything to eat, has nothing
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: to do. If it's illegal or not, people are still
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: gonna do it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And there's still there are plenty of people still
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: buying illegal weed as well because they don't want to
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: hand over a driver's license, bee scan and go into
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a database because they're smoking weed.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: I would imagine it's probably cheaper too.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. I'd have to check.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: We'll do a man on the street, I'll ask, I'll ask.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I'll find a burnout and ask him. Yeah. Booking video
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of surgeon charged in x YS murder released by jail.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Did you see this?
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: No?
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Is that that teppie thing?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Yes? It is as Michael McKee, the husband that they
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: have accused of killing the teppies. They released the booking video.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I know people were chomping at the bit. They want
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to see. They want to see. People want an inquiring
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: minds want to know. I'm not going to go delving
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: deep into this. I'm just going to tell you I
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: don't know that. I'm real comfortable. When's the last time
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you saw a booking video released.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: I don't remember ever wanting to see a booking video.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Now and then there's a still picture of somebody standing there.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: You know, here's the photograph from there when they were
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: booked into the jail. Right booking video. Really, I'm scared.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I'm worried. I'm concerned that they are tainting the case,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: They are poisoning the jury pool, and they are giving
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the defense something here to say, Well, look, the public's
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: already been turned against the Sheriff's department has participated in
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: this booking video. There is no precedent for releasing something
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: like this, and I'm really worried about that. I don't
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: know what the reasoning was, what the logic was behind
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: doing this, but I hope they don't do anything more.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: It's going to be difficult enough with all the media exposure,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: national media exposure that this case has received.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I wonder why this one got so much attention and
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: other ones don't.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: It was heinous. It was heinous, and the children were
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: left in the home. Yeah that'll do that. Is a
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: four year old to one year old left in the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: home while their parents were murdered. And yeah, it's a
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: it's a big deal. It is a big crime, and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: it should be punished to the maximum extent of the law.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I just don't want to see them mess things up
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: here and muddle it up for the prosecution by releasing
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: too much and tainting the jury pool. Just a thought
