  Speaker 1: not a really hot day. H Pizza food is always
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: something and I always pay attention when I see a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: little story regarding pizza. This case, I've never heard either
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of these places Yelp. You're familiar with the Yelp are
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: year they have they done any reviews of Zach's lawnmower
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: service yet? Not yet the Zach Attack Lawn Repair Improved.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: You're not approved on the Yelp list. Now.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I got the Facebook up and running.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Johaiton has released their official and exclusive annual list of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the top one hundred pizza spots in the Midwest, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: there are two Columbus shops on there. I'm kind of
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: impressed in the Midwest, two Columbus shops. What doesn't impress
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: me is the fact that I've heard of neither of them.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Tyler's Pizza. Tyler's Pizza. You ever had of Tyler's Pizza?
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Never heard of it?

  Speaker 1: in the Midwest. Number four Reynoldsburg Pizzaia and Bakery, gaining
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: notoriety for homemade sour dough crust pizza baked in a
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: wood fired oven, giving it a smoky taste. Reviewers love
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the charred, crisp, yet chewy crust topped with holemade red
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: sauce and a variety of unique toppings. Seventy five to
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: sixteen East Main Street, Rilsburg. If you want to, you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: want to try Tyler's Pizza number four on the list.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Now a little farther down the list, but still in
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the top one hundred, Rita's Pizza.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Ring any bells, Yes, I've heard of it.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: You've heard of Tarita's really, I've never eaten there.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: There's a Facebook group that I joined. I never posted
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: anything on Facebook, but they keep talking about it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: In there, well, the pizza connoisseurs or what it thinks.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I was in there for a while. It
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: seemed like everything was like, you know, Donald Trump is orange,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: so I quit.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I just remembered that name, but I've
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: never eaten there myself.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Tarita's Pizza number fifty one on the list. Famous for
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: their crispy Columbus style pies. We have our own style
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: of pie here, do we. I didn't know that thin
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: charred crust cut in squares, loaded edge to edge with toppings.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Well what else would you load it with? Terita's originally
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: found it back in nineteen fifty nine by Gus aana Rino.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Perhaps I hope I'm not missing up that family name,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and today Gus owns or Gus's son Tom owns and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: runs the shop. The Italian sausage is homemade, no fillers whatsoever.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: They use local suppliers for their cheese, sauce, and pepperoni.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Thirty nine three, Cleveland Avenue. Terita's Pizza number fifty one
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: on the list, So congratulations to both of those shops.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: That's cool. I've never heard of or had either of
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: those pizzas, but now that they've made that list. Being
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: that yelp is generally, you know, it's a public input
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. People get on there and say, here's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: what I think about this place. I'll give it a shot.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Number four, number fifty one out of one hundred in
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the mid West. That's pretty amazing. Man suspected of a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: two thousand and four Butler County murder has been apprehended
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: two decades later. Not so much. While he was working
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: as a police officer in Mexico. There's no clapping there.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: He was working as a police officer. According to a
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: press release for the US Marshall Service, seventy two year
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: old Antonio Rihano arrested August first at his hometown as
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Za Pullit. I don't know z that Pullatan Palmis, the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: state of Oxa, Mexico. I've never even heard of these
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: places transported to the Butler County jail. According to Marshalls,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: he was working as a local police officer when he
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: was arrested. Featured in a two thousand and five episode
• 6:53

• 7:01
  Speaker 1: According to Butler Butler County jail records, he has been
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: charged with murder and felonious assault. Why do you do that?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Why charge with the feloniosaut You already get the murder
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: on the table just to bump it up.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I guess extra time. Maybe they could use it to
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: put him in jail longer. I don't know.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: That's just I don't know. It's overkill if you will
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: that unless there was a second person, another person involved,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I don't get why you would. I know, well, maybe
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: that's just me. Coming up tomorrow on the show. I
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: want you to know that the the Muskingham County Prosecutor,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Ron Welch, is going to be joining us right off
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the bat. You have any idea why that is? Are
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you keeping your finger on what's going on in the

• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Some guy got away out of jail with something.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: He got the lightest possible sentence. He was transporting. I
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: forget what the number was, like four billion pounds of
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: methamphetamine or something. I mean, just it was it was
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: it was sell weight and uh and apparently apparently he
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: you know, they knew where he was and what he
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: had while he was in Franklin County, but they let
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: him keep going until he got to Miskingham County, figuring,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you know, must Kingham County. Ron Wells don't play over there, man,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: They'll lock him up. But something went dreadfully wrong, and

  Speaker 1: It is there. There's also an actor that I follow
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: on Facebook. James Black is his name. He's done a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff on the CW network and he's had
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: some motion picture work and so Forth has really become
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: quite an accomplished actor and is doing very very well.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: James and I worked here a long time ago in
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Columbus at one five point seven when it was called
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the Power Pig for about fifteen minutes, and we were
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: both part timers up there. That was in nineteen ninety one,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I believe. And so I follow him on Facebook. I'm like,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: dude's got another movie coming down and all this custuff,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and I love this kind of thing. A lot of
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: people are all, you know, I'm worried about what I got.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: How big am I am? I am I doing network radio?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Am I making the big checks? That's you know that
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: it'd be nice. I'm not going to say it wouldn't be,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: but it's really cool to look at people that you
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: have known for years and who have come up through
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the ranks and just man, they're doing really well. If
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you're not happy for them, you've got to be an
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: evil person. Really, you've got to be there's more evil
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: than there is good in your heart and get some
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: comet or some ajax or something. Cleansed that out, because
• 16:48

• 19:04
  Speaker 1: pizza place in Columbus. It is, it's right up there.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Again, I try to keep my my my dollars in
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the family, if you know what I mean. I'm a Westsider.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I grew up on the hilltop. I try to keep
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: my bucks there whenever I can and support the local businesses.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: It's not that I don't go to a you know,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: a Wendy's or whatever now and then, but I prefer
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: to spend my money on a you know, a neighborhood,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: a community level. Joseppes is up there and uh. And
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: there's another local place called Flyers. And what I love
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: about Flyers is their their their sausage. They just the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: crumble sausage that they use on their pizzas is really
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: really good. And they've got a sub that is appropriately
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: called the Nightmare. I have not had one in years,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: but back when I could eat anything anytime anywhere, I
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: would get these Nightmare subs or like twelve inch subs,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: and they're they're an Italian sub plus. They had three
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: hamburg on them, weighed about seventy five eighty pounds and
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I'd eat the whole thing. It was a nightmare is
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: a good name for it, but I loved it. And
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: uh so those are my things at Flyers. So Joe
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Joseppi's and Flyers are are up there pretty high, and
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I'd say i'd probably put Gramdmall's on the list as well,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: preferably the Franklinton westbroad location. Those are my three go
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: tos on the West Side. So there you go. A
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: two one ninety eight six, A twoy WTV and Nicked
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: bike riding in Columbus, Ohio. That is on my mind.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Sean has something to hear about the os U football.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: What's going on, Sean?
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just heard that you weren't going to be
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: on because buck Line Bucks Line is coming on Thursday
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Thursday nights. I just wanted to say, I'd rather listen
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: to you because the Bucks are going to choke like
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: they normally do when it comes down to the championships.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: We're gonna waite.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: When did you graduate from what I said, when did
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: you graduate from Michigan?
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: I never graduated from Michigan. I never went to Michigan.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: But I'm just saying statistically, they're going to lose like
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: they always do, because they're going to choke at the end.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: They're going to start off a little weak, then they're
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: going to come on strong, and then all of a sudden,
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: when it's really mattered to anything, they're just gonna sputter
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: out and fail. And then we're going to be made
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: fun of on a national stage because they're like, oh,
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: look at the OSU program and everything else. They're the
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: best of the best, but yet when it comes down
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: to it, they always never complete what needs to be done.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I would live always, well, I appreciate that far I'm saying.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say always, but and you've got to face it, Sean,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: if the Ohio State Buckeye football team beat everyone on
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: their schedule, even with these new introductions into the league,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: beat everybody by forty points, went completely undefeated, there would
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: still be somebody at the end of the season. One. Yeah,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: strength is schedule, That's what daddy is strength.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Because they will fail the following year and never hold
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: strong maybe two to three years straight as a program should.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Well, that's because we got it right now. Where these
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: kids can leave, they play a couple of years, they
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: sit there, the freshman year, they play their sophomore year
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: and then by their junior year they're out and headed
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: for the NFL. If it was a paid thing where
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: you know, the athletes are under a contract and they're
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: going to be there five six years, I could be
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: a lot more hostile about that, but.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Which gives credence to what I want to hear more
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: of you?
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Well, bless your heart, Thank you, Sean. I appreciate the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: support and the kind words, and I let's you know what,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say he's wrong because there have been
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: way too many times when we have we have seen
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: disappointment where there should have been none when it comes
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: to the OSU football team. And then there have also
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: been times when that magic just happens. What year was
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: it was it two thousand and two, two thousand and
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: twelve when we won the championship. But it was one
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: of these things where West Virginia no Virginia Tech had
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: to win, and I don't know, Columbus State had to
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: have a team, and like ten different things had to
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: happen in order for the Buckeyes to get into the
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: play and it happened. It was like this perfect storm thing.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: So they they've got a leper con somewhere, and they
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: may not be Notre Dame, but there's a leper con
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: granting wishes somewhere in that OSU locker room. Yep.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: One of the best teams compared to Second, second to Michigan.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: The second the Michigan. You're not a Michigan fan, are you?
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Nope, I don't care about either.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I'm just oh, okay, because I was gonna let you
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: walk through the parking lot first.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, anybody who's listening as a Michigan fan in this audience,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: come on, really.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I'll give you, guys his address off the air. Just
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: hit me up on Facebook, A two eighty six, A
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: two on WTV. And before we get into the naked
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: bike riders, John already has a thought on him. What's
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: going on? John?
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just letting you know that bikes and
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: naked just don't go together, Chuck.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: As a general rule. I think it's a bad idea,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: especially in the heat and humidity of August.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Yes, and I looked it up. Supposedly we're going to
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: have thunderstorm Saturday.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: That would be a fanatic.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Wetnked people on bicycles. Wow.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, fat bottom girls make the world.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Go you might, I don't want. I don't want to
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: witness that. That's what we were talking about. Pizza, he says,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: fat bottom girls. For those who don't know Van Halen's song,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: there's a pizza local pizza concern. It's a big deal
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: pizza concern. But they had a commercial television and radio
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: like five years ago, and it was this time of year,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: and they had a marching band playing music and they're
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: talking about our pizza goes great with Friday Night. Well,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the marching band. Now it's a pizza commercial, mind you,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Sausage and pepperoni and lots of cheese and the carbohydrates.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: In the crust pizza commercial, the marching band is playing
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: fat bottom Girls, which I thought that's a marketing mistake
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: right there, that you why would you play fat bottom
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: girls when you're trying to sell people calories. Anyway, this
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: year year's route for the Neked Bike Tour of Columbus,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Ohio is going to be an I can't even believe
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that. I thought the Dude Operade was love it.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: It's going to be announced on eight twenty nine, and
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the Columbus World Bike Ride Facebook page, Yes there is
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: one billed as the International clothing optional event the ride.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: The ride typically also promotes freedoms from oil well it's
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: because of the bicycle. This year, new organizing team is
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: behind the ride. According to organizer David Weasley, a large
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: number of riders are expected for this weekends of it
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: where it's just spitting. Very large turnout for this year,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: with over twenty five organizers and volunteers supporting the event
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: and expected attendances between one hundred and two hundred and fifty.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: He said, we still don't know what the route will be,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: but it will be August thirty first, beginning at seven pm.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: The after party will continue this year until eleven pm.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: It is also a neked after party. I hope now
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: see there the after party with perhaps some adult beverage consumption,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and some things could go very very wrong. I'm just saying, man,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: I don't know why you're so down on this. Thanks,
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: I'm not down on it. I'm practical. Tell me what
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: could go right? Give me one example of what could
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: go right? From a couple one hundred people nicked on
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: bicycles at a party to eleven pm? What could go
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: right about that?
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: You can get to know a lot of people real quick.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but do you want to know the kind of
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: people who would be nicked on a bicycle at a
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: party into eleven pm?
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Depends if they have a bike seat or not.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: You're sad, sad, little man. I just I don't see any.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: If there's no redeeming quality to anything.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Not at all, not at all. If this was something
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: somebody was doing privately, like a nude beach or something,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. If you wanted to have a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: nicked club, I'm okay with that. As a as a
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: younger guy, I hated closed completely. You know, now that
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: i'm old. As a service to humanity, I make sure
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I'm always dressed. But as a young guy before there
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: was you know, family in the house, I'm just by myself.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Neked was the way to go. Man. I once had
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: a partner on an a morning show. He said, what
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: do you do if somebody comes from knocking at your
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: door and you're in the neck? And I said, I
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: answer the door, but your neck, I says, my door?
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: If you it was just me back then. As you
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: get older, your standards change. But never, never have I
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: been even remotely interested in nicked bike riding. I don't
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: know where this comes from or why it comes from there,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: but nonetheless, last day of August seven to eleven pm,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: right here in Columbus, Ohio, the wheels will be turning
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: finally before I go tonight. Brandon Simmons, everybody's favorite Columbus
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: school board member, Brandon Simmons, back in the news today,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: and I find the writing of the story very, very
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: interesting because he demands Brandon Simmons demands that money from
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: the levee be spent on the schools. Now here's the deal.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying I disagree with that one hundred million
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: dollar sucker bet that we got into with the Columbus
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: City Schools passing that levee. But he has been censured. Okay,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: that means you know, he got his smack on the risk.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Sit over there and be quiet. As I said earlier,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Columbus Education Association president John Kungeli, oh I think it's pronounced,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: said the best thing Simmons can do for the students
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: of Columbus City Schools is to resign. I agree with
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: him on that, but he demanded that his colleagues come
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: together to create solutions for the facilities in the districts,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: which he says should include building a new school. Here's
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: the problem. You remember, he got censured because because of
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: that memo, that leaked memo, that secret correspondence, it wasn't
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: supposed to get out to you. Where they were trying
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: to divide and conquer. They wanted to divide the parents
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: from the unions, and black people from white people, and
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: affluent people from poor people. They wanted everybody divided so
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: there'd be no uniform resistance to what they wanted to
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: do in closing down schools after passing a million dollar
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: or one hundred million dollar levee. And he got cut.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: He got cut as the author, whether he admits it
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: or not, of that memo. But he now is turning
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: around and said, he says more staff and the resources
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: for the students, and the opportunity for our students to
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: be in a new building as a massive district should
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: involve parents and unions, and we should bring everybody to
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: the table, including our employees. That's the same thing your
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: memo said, don't do. And it's time for me to fly.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: We'll do this again tomorrow nights six pm. Join me
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: for the Power Hour on six ' ten wtva,
