- 0:00Speaker 1: Email is fine, although I don't read them while I'm
- 0:03Speaker 1: on the air most of the time. Chuck Douglas at
- 0:04Speaker 1: iHeartMedia dot Com, Chuck Douglas on Facebook, Chuck d talker
- 0:08Speaker 1: on Twitter. Because I refuse to call it X and
- 0:11Speaker 1: just google me, you'll find me. As far as Zach.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Nobody can find him. The FBI has been trying for years.
- 0:16Speaker 2: So anyway, I started to engage in Facebook now a
- 0:20Speaker 2: little bit, A little bit.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Are you actually responding to things now?
- 0:25Speaker 3: I mean I've posted a few things. I don't really
- 0:27Speaker 3: pay attention.
- 0:28Speaker 1: It can get maddening. I just want to let you
- 0:30Speaker 1: know once I've just.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Posted stuff that I find humorous, not political.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Yet. I had somebody on there today who was going
- 0:35Speaker 1: back and forth with me because I said, yeah, I
- 0:37Speaker 1: posted the article about the the ice officer and the
- 0:40Speaker 1: internal injuries of this ice officer up there in Minnesota.
- 0:44Speaker 1: I said, you know, there will still be people who
- 0:46Speaker 1: say that this wasn't sufficient for him to fire his
- 0:49Speaker 1: weapon or defend himself. And one guy came back and goes, what, what,
- 0:53Speaker 1: what are you bruises? I said, no, not bruises, it's
- 0:56Speaker 1: internally good. Well, you know, a bruise is internal, I said,
- 1:00Speaker 1: do you think that you know? CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, CBS,
- 1:04Speaker 1: The New York Times, all these people would be calling it,
- 1:08Speaker 1: reporting it as internal injuries if they could say bruising
- 1:12Speaker 1: and minimize the damage to this man. So that I
- 1:16Speaker 1: was trying to be really funny. So and then he said, well, well,
- 1:20Speaker 1: obviously you get up tight when somebody asked, I'm like
- 1:23Speaker 1: up tight because I responded to you and asked you
- 1:25Speaker 1: a question back. You know, as America in twenty twenty six, man,
- 1:29Speaker 1: I can't believe it.
- 1:30Speaker 3: So you just get a lit I won't take up
- 1:31Speaker 3: too much here anymore.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Before you you're taking up too much already.
- 1:34Speaker 2: One I got one message from somebody what I did
- 1:37Speaker 2: open phones at all? I said, I reiterated what you
- 1:40Speaker 2: said because the topic of breaking into Smalion daycare, don't
- 1:43Speaker 2: do that.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Don't do that.
- 1:44Speaker 2: So I reiterate, I said, un that it's your law enforcement,
- 1:47Speaker 2: don't do that. So I got a message that said
- 1:48Speaker 2: I disagree with you. There is fraud going on.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Nobody said there isn't fraud going on.
- 1:53Speaker 3: There isn't. I'm just saying, don't break.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Into this is isn't it maddening.
- 1:56Speaker 3: It's just like they have something to say and that's it.
- 1:59Speaker 1: I responded to somebody else over the weekend. I forget
- 2:02Speaker 1: what the post on Facebook was even about. But I
- 2:03Speaker 1: told the guy back, I said, that's not what I said,
- 2:07Speaker 1: it's what you think I meant. Those are two different things.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Go back and read what I said. But people get
- 2:14Speaker 1: in their heads that this is what you're you're meaning
- 2:17Speaker 1: or that, and they take it from there and they
- 2:20Speaker 1: want to get all indignant and smartass about it, and no,
- 2:23Speaker 1: that's not. First of all, if you listen to the
- 2:24Speaker 1: radio show, you know what kind of person I am.
- 2:27Speaker 1: This is me. This is all there is to me.
- 2:30Speaker 1: There's no no hidden agendas, no nothing. I'm just Chuck.
- 2:34Speaker 1: So what you see is what you get, or what
- 2:36Speaker 1: you hear is what you get. Essentially, It's evident many
- 2:38Speaker 1: people who engage me, especially that want to be argumentative
- 2:41Speaker 1: on social media, have never listened to a minute of
- 2:44Speaker 1: this radio show. I mean it seriously. It's also evident
- 2:48Speaker 1: that some people think I'm doing another radio show on Facebook.
- 2:51Speaker 1: No I'm not. This is what I do. Facebook is ancillary,
- 2:54Speaker 1: it is, it's something I connect with you. I'm on
- 2:58Speaker 1: more you know, more of a one on one type
- 3:01Speaker 1: level when I am not on the air. But no,
- 3:04Speaker 1: I don't sit there and wait four hours a night
- 3:07Speaker 1: to respond to post on Facebook and messages on Messenger.
- 3:12Speaker 1: You'd be amazed at the number of people who send
- 3:13Speaker 1: me stuff on Messenger every single day and every middle
- 3:17Speaker 1: of the night ding here's a video I just watched. Okay, well,
- 3:21Speaker 1: good for you, man. I don't need to know that
- 3:22Speaker 1: at three twelve in the morning. I'm not trying to
- 3:27Speaker 1: be mean or anything.
- 3:28Speaker 3: But my gosh, no, that's not everybody.
- 3:30Speaker 2: It's just a small few people who decide that they're
- 3:33Speaker 2: they have something to say, they're going to say and
- 3:35Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what you said.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Right exactly and there and there are people out there
- 3:39Speaker 1: too who will respond. You'll you'll say something and they
- 3:42Speaker 1: will respond some long diatribe and it doesn't have a
- 3:46Speaker 1: dang dang thing to do with what the post was about,
- 3:49Speaker 1: but they want to say it, so it's they're gonna
- 3:51Speaker 1: put it in there. Don't do that engage in the
- 3:56Speaker 1: conversation at hand. But if if I'm you know, typing
- 4:01Speaker 1: a Facebook post about oranges and you want to talk
- 4:04Speaker 1: about col turds in Texas. That's not the place to
- 4:08Speaker 1: jump in there and do your four hundred word dissertation
- 4:10Speaker 1: on col turds. I'm just saying maryon maryon Ohio. I
- 4:16Speaker 1: like marry in Ohio, the popcorn festival. It's a nice town,
- 4:20Speaker 1: it really is. But it's had its challenges. It's had
- 4:23Speaker 1: its issues. You know, crime, drugs been a problem up there.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Bob Nunley's hometown, Mary in Ohio, God bless his memory.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Marion City council members and the city's mayor now say
- 4:34Speaker 1: they have lost confidence in the city's auditor. So crime
- 4:39Speaker 1: in the streets and government ain't working right. They're trying
- 4:41Speaker 1: to get to get her the auditor removed from her position.
- 4:45Speaker 1: This follows financial issues that have cost the city money,
- 4:48Speaker 1: led to incorrect paychecks for city employees, and led to
- 4:51Speaker 1: the city losing its bond rating. Bill Collins is the mayor.
- 4:55Speaker 1: He said he's lost confidence in Melinda. I think it's
- 4:58Speaker 1: McGinnis after a year, years of mistakes and missteps. Two things.
- 5:02Speaker 1: First of all, I don't blame you for losing confidence,
- 5:05Speaker 1: losing faith, losing patients, but years she should have been
- 5:09Speaker 1: gone a long time ago. She's just bad, just saying
- 5:12Speaker 1: the coverage continues here. City employees have seen inaccurate paychecks
- 5:15Speaker 1: as the city works through issues with a new payroll company.
- 5:18Speaker 1: That's just the latest misstep and the state auditor to
- 5:20Speaker 1: declare the city a fiscal caution. Last year, the report
- 5:23Speaker 1: for the state auditor found the city with thirteen funds
- 5:26Speaker 1: in a deficit, with balances more than eight point eight
- 5:30Speaker 1: million dollars in the red. How did she hold on
- 5:35Speaker 1: to this job this long? If it's been years of mistakes?
- 5:41Speaker 1: Thirteen funds in deficit with balances more than eight point
- 5:45Speaker 1: eight million dollars in the red? How did it take
- 5:48Speaker 1: this long? Marion? God bless you, but a lack of
- 5:52Speaker 1: action in a timely fashion will do this to you.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Just saying the tepee s murder, which has been you know,
- 6:01Speaker 1: all over the place. Man, what a tragedy. What just
- 6:06Speaker 1: just sad everybody. Everybody's just nobody says anything bad about
- 6:11Speaker 1: these people. I have had heard any speculation at all
- 6:14Speaker 1: that you know, they were they did anything bad or
- 6:17Speaker 1: say anything bad. Former. iHeart person somebody that used to
- 6:20Speaker 1: work in one of our departments here that I liked
- 6:23Speaker 1: a great deal. She was a very nice young lady.
- 6:25Speaker 1: She actually I saw on her Facebook page she went
- 6:27Speaker 1: to school with this lady. And that's sad, it really is.
- 6:33Speaker 1: But a new revelation. First of all, this guy is
- 6:35Speaker 1: apparently he's waiting to be extradited. He's not just like
- 6:39Speaker 1: I think. They have to go through a process now
- 6:40Speaker 1: to extradite him from Illinois. And I saw another story
- 6:43Speaker 1: that indicated the gun believed to have been used was
- 6:47Speaker 1: found on his property. Are you familiar with the term
- 6:52Speaker 1: slam dunk? Because if they actually did find the gun
- 6:58Speaker 1: on his property, if it has his fingerprints on it,
- 7:02Speaker 1: if it is matched as the weapon that killed these
- 7:05Speaker 1: two people, this trial should take all of four maybe
- 7:09Speaker 1: five minutes, and it should be over with. How absolutely heinous.
- 7:14Speaker 1: And I still don't understand. I'm grateful, Don't get me wrong,
- 7:21Speaker 1: I'm grateful that those two little babies were not harmed.
- 7:25Speaker 1: What are they one in four? I believe. I am
- 7:29Speaker 1: so grateful that those two little babies were not harmed.
- 7:35Speaker 1: But I don't understand why he obviously hated these people,
- 7:44Speaker 1: hated this marriage. He was married to her for less
- 7:47Speaker 1: than two years, They had no children, she had children
- 7:51Speaker 1: with her new husband. I don't know what the reasoning was,
- 7:58Speaker 1: if that was somet all, just some little flash of
- 8:03Speaker 1: human decency from this guy, then will I will pray
- 8:09Speaker 1: that he gets himself straight before he leaves this earth.
- 8:15Speaker 1: I can't figure out why he didn't do it. I'm
- 8:17Speaker 1: just so very glad he didn't. Those kids don't have
- 8:21Speaker 1: a mommy and daddy now, but I'm glad they are
- 8:26Speaker 1: with us, and they've got such what appears to be
- 8:29Speaker 1: a very loving family. They have come together and really,
- 8:35Speaker 1: oh really been fairly admirable during this whole thing. Last,
- 8:41Speaker 1: but not least once, the last time you were at
- 8:42Speaker 1: the Center of Science and Industry? You ever been there?
- 8:48Speaker 1: Never been there? Kosai? You never been to Kosai the
- 8:51Speaker 1: Center of Science and Industry. There was one here and
- 8:53Speaker 1: in Chicago, both of which were pretty well known when
- 8:56Speaker 1: I was a youngster. It used to be located on
- 8:58Speaker 1: the East broad Street where now the election stands.
- 9:02Speaker 3: It's been a while. I took Charlie there a few times.
- 9:04Speaker 1: The building there was the Board of Elections, used to
- 9:07Speaker 1: have a big stained glass front on it. It was
- 9:11Speaker 1: it was pretty cool looking at it, with a red
- 9:14Speaker 1: Kosai logo in the center, and you would walk into
- 9:17Speaker 1: the lobby and they had the big pendulum. I don't
- 9:19Speaker 1: know if they still have the pendulum at the new
- 9:20Speaker 1: facility or not.
- 9:22Speaker 3: The last time I was there they did were yeah, and.
- 9:25Speaker 1: The pegs on the floor that it would go and
- 9:27Speaker 1: that would not, And that was one of the most
- 9:30Speaker 1: mesmerizing blasted things I've ever seen. It's just a pendulum,
- 9:34Speaker 1: but you stood there and stared at it man just
- 9:36Speaker 1: waiting for it to knock down the next peg. So weird.
- 9:41Speaker 1: And then they had the ball, the electrostatic ball that
- 9:44Speaker 1: made your hair stand up. That was a big deal
- 9:45Speaker 1: when I was a kid. They had the bicycle and
- 9:47Speaker 1: a wire that you would ride and not fall off
- 9:52Speaker 1: of which was that was still there too. I never
- 9:54Speaker 1: had the guts to try that.
- 9:55Speaker 3: I did it.
- 9:55Speaker 1: I was terrified of that. But Kosai was like this
- 9:59Speaker 1: big destination thing for us when we were kids that
- 10:01Speaker 1: you know, field trips from school and everything. It was
- 10:03Speaker 1: just the coolest place. They moved it over to the
- 10:05Speaker 1: old Central High School and I don't know, I feel
- 10:11Speaker 1: like it kind of lost its luster with everyone in general.
- 10:20Speaker 1: So it wasn't like someplace people were dying to take
- 10:22Speaker 1: the kids on Broad Street. It was like we have
- 10:24Speaker 1: to take them to Kosai. They'll love it. I don't
- 10:27Speaker 1: know that that enthusiasm has been there since they moved
- 10:30Speaker 1: to this building. All that being said, it was announced
- 10:34Speaker 1: day cos I's laying off fifteen percent of their employees.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Why low attendance and funding struggles. And this makes me sad,
- 10:43Speaker 1: just because it's yet another part of my history in
- 10:46Speaker 1: my hometown. It was such a big deal and now
- 10:50Speaker 1: it's not. I get misty like that over everything, though.
- 10:54Speaker 1: I still drive down Mount Street and miss seeing the
- 10:56Speaker 1: green gable sign drive through over there, right by what
- 11:02Speaker 1: used to be Cooper Stadium. I miss seeing that too.
- 11:04Speaker 1: That's just a hulk now a place for dirt bikes
- 11:07Speaker 1: to go.
