  Speaker 1: it go so far as the bank is now suing
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to get the money. She's got the salary to pay.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I just I don't
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I don't get people. I'm looking for this transactivist story too,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and I'm I can't find it. I had that book
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: marked and then I lost my book mark. But transactivist
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: noted reputable transactivist uh indicted, I guess for fraud, going
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: to prison for fraud. Well, I mean you're you're you're
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: you're a guy in a wig? You say yes, I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: mean there's I I don't know anybody who goes. I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: am completely surprised. Who are you? What's wrong with you?
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: There's very rare exceptions that you could be completely surprised.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Wardenburgers in Butler County jail. Did you see
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: those what they're getting Butler County Jail, Richard Jones getting
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: some flat because they serve what they're calling Wardenburgers. They
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: are potato and various. It's vegetable based burgers.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, so.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Right, And and apparently that you know that that's causing
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: some flat because he's not serving actual meat. And I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: think that's probably a good idea. If you've got bad
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: guys locked up, I give him red meat.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Are they guaranteed meat in.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: The I don't think that's in the constitution though, that's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: not in there. So he's taken some flak over that.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I was looking at it earlier, and it doesn't look
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: that bad to me, you know, last night at dinner,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: because you know, I still try to be although I'm
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: not doing the active Awaken one eight. I'm in the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: maintenance thing, meaning you know, I can eat regular food.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I just have to watch myself. And so the Queen
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: still tries to be creative with things. Last night, a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: couple of hamburgers cheese versed for dinner. But check this out,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: she's so awesome. The bag of pre mixed coal slaw
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that you get. You just add the dressing to it,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, well she didn't make coal slow out
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of it. What she did was put it in a
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: skillet with the olive oil and the bacon bits and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: fried it up into this amazing side dish to go
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: with my burgers last night instead of fried. But I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: had this. It was interesting, knockout stupid good.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you brag about her food all the time, so
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I will take your word for it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Who would think though of frying up the coast law.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: You know, I can't cook to save my life, so
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: not me. But no, that sounds pretty ingenius.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It was, it was, and it was just it was tasty, tasty, tasty.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I can't believe that she did that, but she's done
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that with lettuce. I can't believe how versatile lettuce can be.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Cabbage frying with things other than what you're used, like condiments,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: putting the mustard in greens while they are flying frying,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: whether it's you know, turnip greens or cabbage or whatever,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: putting mustard in the completely new dimension a something, Oh
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: my goodness, yes cool. Yeah, but see I'm eating all
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: that crazy stuff, which is probably why I woke up
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and agreed with the Council President this morning. That could
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: be it right there, give a food rush. I'm sure
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: he does not listen to the show, but I know
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that there are people who do listen because they have
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to report back. You know, go over at six ten
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: said something about you last night, so you know, take
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: that back to him and let him know. I would,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: even seriously, if he wanted to come in and just
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: kind of make his case, I'd welcome him. He could
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: come in and sit down, and I wouldn't hammer him
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: about everything I disagree with, and lord knows there are
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: many of those, but I would give him the airwaves
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to actually talk about this and make his case, because
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you know, with this mayor, he's not going to back
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: down unless he feels like the pressure is just so
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: strong he has to back down. He is disagreeing with
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: putting this in the budget as a budgeted itemized expenditure,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and he's wrong, and he's not a dictator. So I'm
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: with the Council President on this. A two one nine
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: eight eighty six my number eight two one WTV And
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: we still got time for a few here, Dana. You're
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: on sixteen WTV.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: And Hi, yes, I don't know if your listeners or no,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: but I State has taken input offside one hundred million
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: dollars for a low income of student. You got to
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: meet a certain criteria criteria with the ACT and SAAT
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: and you get a four year full ride scholarship free.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well that's that's Stavele and I got to let
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you go data. You get the radio if you always
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: got to turn the radio down when you call, that's
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: general scholarship. Yeah, that's that university. But the beauty of
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the state funding source, this program that Chris was talking
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: about and the Columbus Columbus Promise program is you can
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: use it at any university. You don't have to go
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: just to Ohio State. And frankly, there's a lot of people.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: In fact, my thirteen year old grandson and I were
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: talking last night. He has dreamed of playing Buckeye football
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: one day. But he was telling me last night because
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you know, the more I think about it, Ohio State
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: is so big, I don't know, maybe I should go
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to a smaller school, which broke my little scarlet and
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: gray heart. But the same time I understand what he's saying.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I did not go to Ohio State back in the
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: eighties for largely the same reason. It was its own
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: city Man had fifty thousand students and it was just
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: too overwhelming for me. And when I was looking at schools,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and I've said it before, I went to Ohio Dominican,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: which was Ohio Dominican College back then, as opposed to
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Ohio Dominican University. But I went there for my little
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: tour and the primary academic building at Ohio Dominican is
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: called Erskine Hall, and Erskine Hall reminded me a great
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: deal of West High School, and there was a comfort
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: level that I felt automatically standing there, looking at Erskine
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and making that transition from high school to college. There
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: was something very comforting about that. The school was not
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a large school. They built many buildings since then, but
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: it was, you know, it was still a fairly it
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: was a decent sized, small college, and as I said,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the comfort level was just strong. So I understand where
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: he's coming from. He's only thirteen, He's got some time
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to think about things and make up his mind. But
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to be part of that fifty thousand
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: plus population either. I didn't want to have to worry
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: about getting on a bus to get to the other
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: side of the OSU campus to go to school in
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the morning or whatever. Plus that was another benefit back then.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they still do, but Ohio Dominican
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: had classes Monday through Thursday to the Catholic College. There
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: was no class on Friday. A lot of beer on Friday,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: but no, there was no class. Yeah, yeah, And I
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: still have very fond memories of that place. I lived
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: in Fitzpatrick four twelve. That was my dorm room, being
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: doctor Bob. And then they had Sansbury Hall, which is
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: this looks like it should be in England. Sansbury Hall
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: is an old classic building. It is a girl's dorm.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I will not tell you what we referred to it as,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: but it was. It was a girl's dorm. And on
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the first floor they had what was called the Colonial Room,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: a room that was set up to resemble, you know,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a seventeen hundred's ballroom basically. And in the Colonial Room
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: was this beautiful Yamaha grand piano and I would get
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: done with my work study and I'd come back to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: campus and I'd go over there and just play around
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: with that piano. It was just a quiet place, and
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't have a piano listen in my life. Suddenly
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I'm writing songs, and by the end of that first
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: semester I had a bunch of little college girls sitting
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: around there going well. I was playing and singing. It
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: was nice those weather days. So anyway, Yeah, college is
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: an important thing, but expedient education is also an important thing.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: So I am all for the Columbus Promise program. As
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I said, I reached out to the Ohio the Ohio
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: folks as well to talk. I want somebody to come
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: on the air and talk to me about this program
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that the state of Ohio has that looks very similar
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to what the Columbus Promise program does for Columbus City
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: School students. Now, I don't know, perhaps there are a
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: potential funding source for Columbus. Maybe they're two completely separate entities,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: but we will find that out. Did you go to
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: college that are you a college guy? Kind of No,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't finish anything. How long did you go before
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you dropped out?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Semester and a half.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: So you and i'd about the same amount of time.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I tried over the years to go
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: If you just I just worked.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I look, I was going this. This was when I
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: was eighteen. This was very practical me. I was going
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: to college to get a good job with a big
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: company where I could do something. You know, that's the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: whole purpose of going Well, while I'm working or going
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to school, I'm also working a part time job for
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: AT and T. This was reselling stuff. No. I was
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: working at AT and T what they call the addis
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: office ATAT Information Systems up on Shock Road, and I
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: was working there part time. Going to school. Well, school
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: costs at that time about ten grand a year, and
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: which is very reasonable because that was my tuition, room
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and board. It didn't include books, but about ten grand
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: a year. AT and T then offered me full time employment.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I'm eighteen years old. They offered me full time employment
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: making double what I'm paying to go to school. Yeah,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: so I thought, why would I stay in school? This
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: is what I want is to get a good job
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: with a decent paycheck in a big company where I
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: can move forward advance. Yep. So I left and it
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: was probably the right move, but it wasn't a fun
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: move because I really loved being at ODC. What was
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: your major communications in theater. It was a split major.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: That makes sense because you can't communicate, so you need
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: to go back to school.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: You are theatrical and the way you walk and talk.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I am very theatrical. I miss being on stage. I
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: miss doing theater. I did a lot of stuff down
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: in Grove City at Little Theatre off Broadway. I missed
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: those days. I miss when I walked into Doahi Dominic.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: In the first show I auditioned for was The Little Foxes,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: where I got to play Ben Hubbard.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: The Little Foxes?
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: What was that about? Little It was kind of like
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a turn of the century version of Dallas and Ben
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Hubbard was the j R. Ewing of the family. Then
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: again I say to myself, I agree with Alexandra. What
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: is a man in a wheelchair do on a staircase?
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I asked, No, Selffare I still remember the script man?
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: That's just funny. Yeah, what's a man a wheelchair doing
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: on the staircase?
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Old Horace came down the steps and died. Mister Marshall
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: didn't know mister Marshall was Greg Wadell, who did Bengals
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: pregame down at seven hundred WLW for a lot of years.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: To still miss him.
