• 0:22
  Speaker 1: you're pretty mellow over.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: There today, man, I'm always okay.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: There's a whole courtyard full of women down there waiting
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: on you to get off work.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I did well. They keep ringing the buzzer here and
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: trying to get me to count. I said, look, I
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: gotta I gotta help Chuck with the show.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I have advised them that you're off at seven and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: they may begin the ravishing at seven oh oh one
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: in groups of no more than four at a time.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is not a new problem for me.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that you probably fight them off with a stick.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: It's the beard, Yes, that's what it is. It's the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: beard and the lack of height, because the head does it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: The shorter you are, the harder they fall. Yes, oh,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: my gosh. So so anyway, we've had some rain move.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Mark and I were talking about the I don't get
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the weather warnings today because we had the severe thunderstorm
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: watch in Muskingham or No Licking and Delaware counties to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: our east and northeast. Then we had the thunderstorm warnings
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: in Madison and Clark Counties to our west and farther west.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: But it just skipped right over Franklin County. And I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: was looking at the security stuff from my house, the cameras,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and it looked like we'd had nothing. The Queen says, yeah,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: we got a bit of a sprinkle, that was about it.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: That's what it seemed like. I got darker here because
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: of the clouds. I think it rained out there for
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: a couple of minutes. That's it.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Well, don Ross, the retirement boss, came in here and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: he was saying, coming through Upper Arlington, it was just
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: a deluge. So this is like very very selective, very spotty.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Just raining in one spot and completely nothing in the other.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Right, but the temperature change is kind of universal. As
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the cold front went through, we dropped from ninety six
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: down to seventy eight right now.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because I came in. Well, we come in
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: about the same time, but it was what ninety two
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: or something, and I was like, man, it's that heat.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I used to stand outside for very long and then
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I went back outside at like four thirty.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: You got a pool.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: It was like twenty degrees lower.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: No, you gotta pull you on a pool. I bought
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: two by.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Mistake, gain I thought they canceled one.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I thought so too, but when I got home, I
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: found that he had just taken them all back in
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: one load. So I have a second pool, which it's
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: a nice pool. I was actually kids for you. I
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: was actually lounging today before I came in here, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: it was difficult and frankly, I see, I've never been
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: in a pool. Well, I was in a pool when
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I was like four years old. My dad tried to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: teach me to swim. And that was back when Dodge
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Park was called Sunshine Park and Dad taught me, or
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: try to teach me to swim out there. But I've
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: not been in a pool since. I'm not a pool person.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I've never so we bought this pool basically for the kids.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: It's not big, I mean, it's not a little bitty
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: when it's twelve twelve feet twelve feet and like two
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and a half feet deep or something like that. So
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: we got it all set up and up, and I decided, okay,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: let me let me. I'm gonna venture into a pool
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: for the first time in my life. And uh, and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to get out.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Did you can you swim? I'm not trying to know to.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Know, I'm a fat guy. I've always been able to float.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, no, I'm just curious, but.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I've never I've never learned to swim. I now, that
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: being said, if I was like in a boat and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: one of my grandkids or something fell, I trust me,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I'll swim.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you could doggy paddle. At the least.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I might have a heart attack and die, but that
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: child would be rescued. But so I'm in there and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: it's it's so weird. It was such a weird feeling,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: just that weightless outer space floating in the pool thing.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I just I never experienced that before, and once I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: got used to it, I did not want to get out.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: And it's like the queen goes, you know, it's time
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: for you to go to work, and I'm like, you
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: know what, Mark and then I said, no, I like him.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I better go in, but you just call in. It
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: was I should have done the show live from my
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: pool here I am. Yeah, so anyway, two pools. I
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: don't uh, I guess, I don't know. Unless you want it,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna send it back.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: No, that's okay, but you get to call it in
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: on your favorite, your iPhone, and it would have been great.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: My phone. I hate this. Oh my god, I love you. You
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: came through what I needed a phone, but I find
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: it so bad. It's it's a plus. I don't know
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: if I mentioned this or not, but I don't know
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: if it's like an iOS reset plus. I've got a
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: missage you hang on here. It tells me that iOS
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: eighteen point five is available and will be installed leader tonight.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Whether I want it or not doesn't matter. Yeah, we're
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: installing it tonight. Installed, and I guarantee you all my
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: passwords will disappear again.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: See. I don't know what happened there, because mine doesn't
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Mine all disappeared. The bank, the the media stuff that
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I use, and last night when I was trying to
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: get back in the building, and even the app that
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: opens the door here at the Palatial. iHeartMedia states it
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: wouldn't even open the door because I had to put
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: in the password. Then I had to re establish the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Bluetooth connection, and I don't know why everything has reset
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: on this phone. Don't care for that. I can't say
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I'm a fan. Oh all right, so what we are
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you gonna do? The I'm just looking through the news
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to make sure I didn't miss anything. Sammy Kershaw was
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: talking to Mark about Samy k are you and Sammy Kershaw?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: You're not a country music guy, though, say I like
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Sammy Kershaw because he came around during that time when
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I was making the country transition. And if you're new
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to me, I've been in radio for a long long
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a long time. Mister Marconi and I we perfected the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: off the radio and uh so I was working for
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: this station and it was called the Mix. A better
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: mix of music with less talk and less repetition. That's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: what we were. So then they sold that station at
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the mix became country, so I became country, and instead
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: of being Chuck Douglas doing mixed midnight request, I became
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Big Chuck Douglas because that's a country name. I even
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: had a jingle Big Chuck Douglas. It was cool and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I got into country music. I actually was enjoying it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Travis Tritt was coming along, and Garth Brooks was coming along,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and Diamond Rio Yeah, early nineties Diamond Real and Sammy Kershaw,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Brooks and Dunn Well. Sammy Kershaw in the news today

  Speaker 1: and uh and and hey he had a loaded gun
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and his uh and much like Leanne Rhymes and her
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: teeth falling out. I love the way Sammy Kershaw handled
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: this because he could have gone to jail, but he did.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: He goes. I have written songs about heartache, heartbreak, trucks
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: breaking down, and dogs died. I've never written a song
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: about forgetting. There's a gun in my bag.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: There's some new material that's half an album right there.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I love it, love it. I missed that country era
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: so much because it was a wonderful bridge between the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: old classic country, which my dad loved and I hated.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I've said it before. I you know, I worshiped Dad.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: He was he was an inspiration. He was a wonderful
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: human being, and I hope he raised a good son.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: God knows. I hope he raised a good son. But
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Dad was into the old Hank Williams senior stuff, you know, blue.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: As kinds, different era and different.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that wasn't me so. But I was never
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: really into Hank Junior too much. I didn't like that
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: whole rebel drunken thing going on. And we went to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: see Hank Junior once when I was working at the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: country station. We took a bus of people, bus full

• 9:11
  Speaker 1: It, didn't want. I got a beard, numb rich so

  Speaker 1: A lot of people forgotten about John Conley, but he

  Speaker 1: had one hit It's called Domestic Life. And I was
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: a you know, a young husband and father at the time,
• 9:45

  Speaker 1: language what was, well, I'm living my domestic life, happy
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: children and a pretty Why uh, how could anybody be

• 10:04
  Speaker 1: my gosh, that is my anthem. So I got into
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the oh, just the whole feel of country music.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: We had just come out of the urban cowboy phase
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a few years before that. Urban Cowboy is perhaps the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: worst movie ever made about people wearing stetsons.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: It is seated so long, but I know it's first.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Of all, it's John Travolta, for goodness sake.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did he do Urban Cowboys after Saturday Night Fever?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Wasn't? Yes, it was Now. The soundtrack was wonderful. Johnny Uh,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: what's Johnny? Helped me looking for love and all the
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: wrong places looking for who was it? H Lee? Johnny Lee,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: thank you? And then Gilly and uh Mickey Gilly. Yes,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the soundtrack to Urban Cowboy was wonderful. John Travolta as
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: an urban cowboy, suburban cowboy, even a Japanese cowboy, is
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: not convincing. I don't know who decided on that casting,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: but it was the worst casting on the planet.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: He's better at disco dancing.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Maybe he at disco dancing. He was fine. That was
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: fine because he's a New York boy. I understand he
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: was the Bible reno, but as a cowboy. No, John
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Travolta didn't cut it. I was where am I even
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: going with this?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: John RAULTA filmography. That's what the show's on today?
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Is that what the show is on? John Buzz, No,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the show at first, I gotta get this woman in
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: LA and well it's a suburb of LA, but she
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: is a she. I'm incensed with the fact that she
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: hasn't been arrested yet and she should be vice mayor
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: or not. She should be a two to one w TV.
• 11:49
