- 0:22Speaker 1: All right, back coherent and everything, and uh if I
- 0:27Speaker 1: just I want to again apologize, apologize for my little
- 0:32Speaker 1: episode on Friday. It's completely, uh completely, I was just
- 0:37Speaker 1: telling Mark when we got off the air, I'm like,
- 0:38Speaker 1: you know, as I'm not a big drinker in my youth,
- 0:43Speaker 1: I consumed more alcohol than than I did. Who yeah,
- 0:46Speaker 1: I don't even mess with it really now. But as
- 0:49Speaker 1: drunk as I could ever recall being ever, ever, I
- 0:58Speaker 1: was worse on Friday. I was that incoherent, and I
- 1:06Speaker 1: just I don't know. Sometimes, you know, sometimes you get
- 1:10Speaker 1: the goat. The goat got me this time. And thank
- 1:14Speaker 1: you for all now, for everybody who's sending me the
- 1:16Speaker 1: messages going where were you? What restaurant was that. I'm
- 1:20Speaker 1: not going to tell you that. Do you think I
- 1:22Speaker 1: shouldn't do that? Should I know?
- 1:24Speaker 2: Because it's not It could happen to anybody, and it's
- 1:28Speaker 2: a million people have asked you.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, everybody wants me to throw them under
- 1:32Speaker 1: the bus, and I'm not going to do that because
- 1:34Speaker 1: it's one of those things where you know, you know
- 1:38Speaker 1: a Zach just said, it can happen anywhere anytime. It's
- 1:42Speaker 1: not a matter of you know, bad people doing bad
- 1:45Speaker 1: things or anything. Sometimes, especially when you're handling something like food,
- 1:52Speaker 1: maybe in shipping it wasn't refrigerated or frozen or whatever
- 1:56Speaker 1: it is the way it should have been. Or I
- 1:58Speaker 1: don't blame them. It was just one of those things.
- 2:02Speaker 1: So no, I am not going to tell you, no
- 2:05Speaker 1: matter how many messages I get telling me. You got
- 2:08Speaker 1: to tell people because people need to know. No, they don't.
- 2:13Speaker 1: If I was if I was inclined to believe that
- 2:17Speaker 1: this was, you know, because the place was first of all,
- 2:20Speaker 1: if it was like something that would do that, I
- 2:22Speaker 1: wouldn't be going there. But if it was, if I
- 2:24Speaker 1: was inclined to believe that it was because they were
- 2:26Speaker 1: dirty or mishandling things or whatever. I would address it
- 2:32Speaker 1: with them before I got you know, on on the air,
- 2:36Speaker 1: on the social media or whatever and called them out.
- 2:39Speaker 1: I just I'm not that kind of person. I think
- 2:41Speaker 1: people people are far too quick to do that kind
- 2:45Speaker 1: of thing, and especially you know, this is people's jobs,
- 2:51Speaker 1: the people that owned the place, the people that work
- 2:53Speaker 1: in the place. It was it was off from the
- 2:58Speaker 1: moment we got there. I do know that something was off.
- 3:03Speaker 1: The service was not normal, the crowd was not normal. Nothing,
- 3:09Speaker 1: nothing was as it usual. And it's that you know,
- 3:12Speaker 1: how your antenna goes up, but you don't pay attention.
- 3:14Speaker 1: That's what I did, and I did it on both fronts.
- 3:22Speaker 1: So you know, part of this is my fault. I'm
- 3:26Speaker 1: that kind of guy. I take responsibility for everything, even
- 3:28Speaker 1: things over which I have no control. But I knew
- 3:33Speaker 1: something was a miss, just in general. As soon as
- 3:38Speaker 1: we got there, and uh, and once I was I
- 3:43Speaker 1: started eating and I ate the sausage, went hmmm, that's
- 3:49Speaker 1: an odd it's an odd day. And UH took another bite.
- 3:56Speaker 1: What kind of is that a spice or what? You know?
- 3:59Speaker 1: Because it's it's out of the ordinary, so you're curious.
- 4:04Speaker 1: And I took another bite and I'm like, you know
- 4:07Speaker 1: what it tastes. It's like almost KEROSENI And because the
- 4:14Speaker 1: sausage just had that those lines, like grill lines, I thought, okay, well,
- 4:18Speaker 1: maybe it's some like fake fake smoke seasoning or something
- 4:23Speaker 1: like that. But the third bite was enough. Okay at
- 4:28Speaker 1: that point, I'm not gonna eat these, and I didn't,
- 4:30Speaker 1: but I had already had three bites. And that was
- 4:34Speaker 1: at about eight thirty in the morning. And at noon
- 4:38Speaker 1: I was feeling really, really weird, and it was a
- 4:43Speaker 1: company holiday. Mark was the air show, and I said, okay,
- 4:47Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in, go in last minute today because
- 4:50Speaker 1: I'm just not feeling like it. And two o'clock came
- 4:54Speaker 1: and I said, I gotta get there. I gotta get there,
- 4:57Speaker 1: and I couldn't do it, just couldn't see. Really, I
- 5:02Speaker 1: didn't wasn't comfortable even driving and I love to drive.
- 5:07Speaker 1: So the Queen brought me in here and I said,
- 5:11Speaker 1: just be here soon as I get off the air
- 5:13Speaker 1: because I'm not gonna stay into anything. I got to
- 5:15Speaker 1: get home, but I didn't make it that far. And
- 5:19Speaker 1: Zach pours Zach. He tries to be weird, but he
- 5:23Speaker 1: is one of the most kind, compassionate souls ever. He's
- 5:29Speaker 1: watching and he said, is there anything I can do?
- 5:33Speaker 1: He keeps talking to me and my headphones. Do you
- 5:35Speaker 1: need anything? Do you want me to go get you
- 5:36Speaker 1: anything at all? No, I'm good, I'm good. I'll be okay.
- 5:40Speaker 1: And he was so worried. But when the time came
- 5:45Speaker 1: and I talked to him through the because we can
- 5:47Speaker 1: talk in here, and you guys don't hear it. When
- 5:49Speaker 1: the time came, I said, buddy, I can't go any farther.
- 5:52Speaker 1: He's like, I already got something lined up. I can
- 5:54Speaker 1: put it on the air. We're gonna be good. You're
- 5:56Speaker 1: gonna have no problems. And I was quite grateful for that.
- 6:02Speaker 1: So as weird as goofy, as strange as he tries
- 6:05Speaker 1: to be, he's actually a really good human being. And
- 6:09Speaker 1: he was so worried about me. So I feel i've
- 6:11Speaker 1: And that's again how I am. I take responsibility for
- 6:14Speaker 1: stuff over which I don't have control. One of my
- 6:18Speaker 1: first thoughts when I came back to I slept for
- 6:20Speaker 1: thirteen hours. When I got home. One of my first
- 6:23Speaker 1: thoughts that I had when I'm like, oh man, I
- 6:24Speaker 1: got a call Zac and let him know I'm okay,
- 6:27Speaker 1: because I just I felt terrible for even putting him
- 6:30Speaker 1: in that position. And it was a strange, strange day,
- 6:35Speaker 1: but it was a one off and hopefully it won't
- 6:37Speaker 1: happen again. We talked about Father's Day earlier and Zach
- 6:42Speaker 1: didn't get to say much aside from the fact he
- 6:43Speaker 1: went down to Kentuck spent the day with his dad,
- 6:47Speaker 1: just watching TV, hanging out and doing that kind of thing.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Did what about you the daddy party? You did you
- 6:51Speaker 1: get any like a nice little card from Charlie or
- 6:54Speaker 1: anything like that.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Yeah, him and his mom made a little video of
- 7:00Speaker 2: pictures and stuff through the times of Charlie growing up.
- 7:03Speaker 2: So very cool.
- 7:04Speaker 1: That's nice and you'll save that forever, right, Yeah, of
- 7:07Speaker 1: course we see. People don't think guys are sentimental, but
- 7:10Speaker 1: we do. Yeah. I got a couple of things for
- 7:12Speaker 1: one of my grandsons that just I got all teary
- 7:16Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, those will go you put
- 7:18Speaker 1: on there which which kid it was from and what
- 7:20Speaker 1: year it was it and it goes in you know
- 7:23Speaker 1: the bottom of your sock draw or something. Nobody ever
- 7:25Speaker 1: sees you. But now and then you just pull it
- 7:27Speaker 1: out and look at it and go, yeah, this is
- 7:30Speaker 1: why I fight. This is why I do what I do.
- 7:33Speaker 1: And it's Uh, they especially your male kids and grandkids,
- 7:37Speaker 1: they'll they won't understand that until they become your age.
- 7:41Speaker 1: But one day they will understand it and they'll be
- 7:44Speaker 1: and they'll do the same thing. They will do the
- 7:47Speaker 1: same thing. But I'm so glad everybody I know who
- 7:51Speaker 1: is a dad had a decent Father's Day story to tell.
- 7:56Speaker 1: And I think that's another you know, that's a good sign.
- 7:58Speaker 1: That's a momentum sign. I want good momentum. We got
- 8:03Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff coming. I saw the Prairie Township fire. Uh,
- 8:07Speaker 1: they've got their their fish fry, which I don't think
- 8:10Speaker 1: happened last year and maybe not the year before. I've
- 8:14Speaker 1: never been to you've not been to the fish fry
- 8:16Speaker 1: I have. It's this Friday and Saturday and Prairie Township
- 8:20Speaker 1: Fire Department over on Ina Avenue. You know where that is.
- 8:22Speaker 1: No runs off of West broad Street. It's easier actually
- 8:27Speaker 1: to catch it there off of Old Sullivan though.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Oh it's right. Uh, is there like a convenience store
- 8:32Speaker 2: across from.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, there's a Yeah, there's a gas station
- 8:35Speaker 1: on one corner of Donado's. On one corner, I think
- 8:39Speaker 1: a little Caesars and what used to be a family
- 8:42Speaker 1: video on the other corner, and a church.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, I know exactly.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Okay. The church is where the fish fry is, Okay,
- 8:48Speaker 1: And it's always a well attended event, at least it
- 8:50Speaker 1: always used to be. And uh and I see that
- 8:53Speaker 1: that is back this year, so I'm looking forward to that.
- 8:55Speaker 1: I think perhaps Friday that is where I will take
- 8:58Speaker 1: the crew when I get out of here. And then Saturday,
- 9:01Speaker 1: the legendary return of the legendary Hilltop Bean Dinner at
- 9:07Speaker 1: Westgate Park. And that's gonna be awesome. You're gonna come
- 9:11Speaker 1: to that? Are you going on time again? I might
- 9:13Speaker 1: go to the Prairie Township thing after Saturday morning open phones.
- 9:17Speaker 1: You should stop buy the Hilltop Bean Dinner over there
- 9:19Speaker 1: at the over there at the west Gate Park. Okay,
- 9:22Speaker 1: I'm telling you. It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be
- 9:24Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Bring Charlie in that same morning.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Westland Business Association is doing their independence They're doing it
- 9:30Speaker 1: before the fourth of July obviously, but they're doing their
- 9:33Speaker 1: Independence Day parade on West broad Street out in Lincoln Village,
- 9:38Speaker 1: and I'm just I'm making notes. This is what I
- 9:40Speaker 1: was trying to talk about, I think Friday when I
- 9:42Speaker 1: was looking for people. You know, if you know of
- 9:44Speaker 1: any stuff going on, let's talk about it. I love
- 9:48Speaker 1: these family friendly summer things, and so I was making
- 9:54Speaker 1: notes this afternoon. Oh good Prairie Township, the bean dinner,
- 9:57Speaker 1: Wesley and and it just fire me up. And I
- 10:01Speaker 1: hear one of our sister stations is doing something on
- 10:04Speaker 1: the Thursday nights up at Polaris now just kind of
- 10:07Speaker 1: a family fun outing evening. And of course over in Hillyard,
- 10:11Speaker 1: I've talked about the Hilliard event on Thursday nights, which
- 10:14Speaker 1: is always great. They've got live entertainment and the town
- 10:16Speaker 1: square there in downtown Hilliard. But I'm actually compiling a
- 10:21Speaker 1: list of this kind of stuff and I will drag
- 10:23Speaker 1: your butt to it this year if I have to.
- 10:24Speaker 1: But you're gonna do some stuff. You're gonna get out
- 10:26Speaker 1: of the house, stop talking to your cat and playing
- 10:28Speaker 1: with the ants and enjoy life a little bit. We'll
- 10:31Speaker 1: see does the cat play with the ants by the way.
- 10:34Speaker 2: No, she would have killed a She killed a wasp yesterday.
- 10:39Speaker 1: A wasp. Yeah it guy.
- 10:41Speaker 2: I got in the house because I left the door open.
- 10:43Speaker 2: It was taken out the trash and she batted it
- 10:46Speaker 2: down because it got in the house. And then it
- 10:49Speaker 2: was move I could see it moving, but she would
- 10:51Speaker 2: like pat it and like hit it on top of it,
- 10:55Speaker 2: and then it just like it couldn't move. It was
- 10:57Speaker 2: just twitching. So she would just like scot it along
- 11:00Speaker 2: the hardwood floor and chase it, and then pat it
- 11:02Speaker 2: and chase it again, pat.
- 11:04Speaker 1: It and chase That's kind of dangerous with the wasp,
- 11:06Speaker 1: I know.
- 11:08Speaker 2: But it was kind of funny because I thought the
- 11:12Speaker 2: wass was dead and then I thought it was kept
- 11:14Speaker 2: moving and then I think it finally died because it
- 11:16Speaker 2: stopped moving. And then she just walked away. She's done
- 11:18Speaker 2: with it, all right. She's a torture.
- 11:22Speaker 1: I got to ask you this too. We both know
- 11:24Speaker 1: when Ella, but this isn't the Ella I'm talking about.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Ella Langley. Are you familiar with Ella Langley? I have
- 11:30Speaker 1: been bombarded today with Ella Langley stuff on social media,
- 11:34Speaker 1: apparently extending her to hers. She's a rising country star
- 11:38Speaker 1: and I'm like, Okay, big deal. Well, she must be
- 11:42Speaker 1: a pretty big star because she's going to be at
- 11:44Speaker 1: the Shottenstein Center for somebody that I've never even heard of.
- 11:49Speaker 1: That's a pretty big venue.
- 11:51Speaker 2: I'm I'm looking at her now, I'll go see her.
- 11:55Speaker 1: She doesn't she have a very nineteen seventy type of
- 11:59Speaker 1: look to her.
- 12:00Speaker 2: She does in some of the pictures with the hair
- 12:02Speaker 2: of the way.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Yeah that jade jewelry and uh. But yeah, she's coming
- 12:06Speaker 1: to Columbus to the shot and Stein Center September twenty fifth,
- 12:09Speaker 1: with Cameron Marlowe and Lacy K. Booth as her special guest.
- 12:14Speaker 1: I've not heard of her before, but I'm assuming she must.
- 12:16Speaker 1: She must be something pretty big if if it takes
- 12:21Speaker 1: the shot and Stein Center to accommodator. And the reason
- 12:25Speaker 1: it caught my eyes because all the stuff I'm getting
- 12:28Speaker 1: doesn't say get your tickets now through ticketmaster dot com.
- 12:32Speaker 1: It says tickets at Ella Langley dot com. Like she's
- 12:38Speaker 1: doing her own thing instead of going through them, which
- 12:41Speaker 1: I don't know if that means no surcharges and all
- 12:44Speaker 1: that extra stuff or not. But when I saw that,
- 12:46Speaker 1: I thought, Ooh, I think I'm gonna like her,
