Speaker 1: A little wired, but I'm raided rock man. Uh missed you.
Speaker 1: By the way. Everybody like I'd say, about one third
Speaker 1: of my plane coming from Atlanta back to Cincinnati, A
Speaker 1: lanted about one one third of the plane is like,
Speaker 1: are you gonna make it for the show. I'm like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I'm like, Eddie misses me. I'm definitely gonna be there.
Speaker 2: So that's right. I can't carry on another day without
Speaker 2: your son.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Right, But you were in you were in uh well
Speaker 2: well down outside Austin.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was in San Marcos, Texas for the big
Speaker 1: JMU at Texas State game last night on ESPN two.
Speaker 1: It was a good game for half and then it wasn't.
Speaker 1: JAMU is really good. I think they could make the
Speaker 1: college football Playoff, for what that's worth. But nevertheless, while
Speaker 1: I was gone, Ed, I saw this news and and
Speaker 1: and obviously you did two. Amazon is laying off thirty
Speaker 1: thousand people, okay. And these are largely like, you know,
Speaker 1: like corporate kind of desk jobs, and it's all because
Speaker 1: of AI. And you know how that is just made
Speaker 1: the workplace so different anymore. And there's it does make
Speaker 1: you wonder and you and I have had guests on
Speaker 1: about this before Edin. We're tracking down our guy right now.
Speaker 1: Throughout history, it's always like, you know, inventions and technology
Speaker 1: have increased jobs and have have made things better. You
Speaker 1: and I talk all the time. I disagree, Like, I
Speaker 1: really wonder if AI is something that's going to spur
Speaker 1: a bunch of new jobs or is it just going
Speaker 1: to take over you know, blue collar jobs, white collar jobs,
Speaker 1: and anything involving technology. Why would you hire a person
Speaker 1: to do it when a computer can do it and
Speaker 1: instantaneously and so much more efficient than than you or
Speaker 1: I or any any human being can. So what do
Speaker 1: people do for work in the future. If you're a
Speaker 1: a guy and a kid, a girl, a guy in
Speaker 1: high school right now and you're thinking about going into
Speaker 1: you know, coding or something like, are you going to
Speaker 1: have a job? Is there something you know in that
Speaker 1: field anymore? What's the modern workforce look like for for people,
Speaker 1: especially young young folks.
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing is that everybody's been saying AI
Speaker 2: is going to replace jobs, this and that and the other,
Speaker 2: and the people were saying, oh no, they're going to
Speaker 2: be you can, you'll get another job. Well, these people
Speaker 2: aren't getting new jobs.
Speaker 1: Dude, No, I feel like and we'll talk to our
Speaker 1: guests about it. I mean, I think, at least for
Speaker 1: the time being, more more blue collar jobs like construction
Speaker 1: things like that will open up. But you know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people sitting in a in a college
Speaker 1: and a freshman you know, computer class right now. That's saying, look,
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily want to frame houses, so you know,
Speaker 1: you know, but do you have an option at this point?
Speaker 1: Do you have or is there any future in some
Speaker 1: of these the tech fields that were have been a
Speaker 1: part of many jobs for god the last couple of decades.
Speaker 2: Well, and that's we've had guests on about that too.
Speaker 2: Rock is that more and more young people have switched
Speaker 2: to more of a blue collar type of approach to it.
Speaker 2: And hey, the world needs plumbers and welders and builders, Hamstring.
Speaker 2: I mean more than you need another computer programmer. Obviously
Speaker 2: you do.
Speaker 1: But I feel like it's happened so fast that you know,
Speaker 1: how much how long is that correction going to take
Speaker 1: where a young person that's in high school getting ready
Speaker 1: to go to college, are they going to be able
Speaker 1: to wrap their mind around that change fast enough to
Speaker 1: be able to go into a field where they can
Speaker 1: have a job and you know, and make make money
Speaker 1: and support a family and all that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: It kind of remains to be seen. And the other
Speaker 1: thing too, is you wonder what is the for people
Speaker 1: that don't fully understand the ins and outs of AI,
Speaker 1: Like how far behind are you? You know? Like I
Speaker 1: understand some of it, I don't. I can't say I
Speaker 1: utilize it a ton. I usialize it a little bit
Speaker 1: day to day. But if you're somewhere out there that
Speaker 1: has no idea how it works, doesn't want to know
Speaker 1: how it works, what's your future in this thing?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: I will tell you that my youngest son, Luke has.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did.
Speaker 2: He did the usual kid stuff and worked serve. You know,
Speaker 2: he worked at the fast food joint, and he did
Speaker 2: this and that and the other, and uh, he got
Speaker 2: a job working in a small factory metal metal fabrication
Speaker 2: and theres nothing about it.
Speaker 1: But you know what he did.
Speaker 2: He went in and put his nose to the grindstone
Speaker 2: and just started watching what those guys do. And now
Speaker 2: he is. He's not a foreman. He's only been he's
Speaker 2: been there less than a year. He's not a foreman.
Speaker 2: But he is moving. He's rapidly moving up the chain
Speaker 2: right home. I'm like, dude, you keep this up, You're
Speaker 2: going to own this place in like two years.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, But but that's that's the mentality it's going
Speaker 1: to take. Is is making a kind of a quick
Speaker 1: correction turn and into what you want to do, and
Speaker 1: and and figuring that out and and you know, and
Speaker 1: being able to go with the flow. And I think
Speaker 1: if you're I hate to say it, but if you're
Speaker 1: at a point where you're very resistant to all of
Speaker 1: these new things that AI brings along and and the
Speaker 1: replacement of jobs, that you're going to be kind of
Speaker 1: s o l here moving forward.
Speaker 3: See.
Speaker 2: Well, I've always said that if I couldn't have done this,
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell I had ended up doing.
Speaker 2: I'm not lyning to yet, I'd be a bark.
Speaker 1: You see you strap it on a tool belt and
Speaker 1: with your pipe is you know, pipes and your wrenches
Speaker 1: and stuff.
Speaker 2: You haven't seen me try to build something, dude.
Speaker 1: Uh, that's a great mental image, by the way, right, No,
Speaker 1: your cigarette growed up in your in your your shirt there.
Speaker 2: Actually, when I was a younger, I it was one
Speaker 2: of those things where whilst I put my nose to it,
Speaker 2: I my first house I bought, I did do some
Speaker 2: work in that house and hunk some I hunk some
Speaker 2: drywall and and finish hunk and finished drywall. I did
Speaker 2: that for a little bit in high school and just
Speaker 2: stuff like that. But basic plumbing and electric especially, man,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can deal with electricity knock
Speaker 2: yourself out because I did not want to touch that stuff.
Speaker 1: I feel like you do have to again and find
Speaker 1: a way where you got to make a figure out
Speaker 1: a way to make the machines and technology work for you.
Speaker 1: You can't work for it, if that makes sense, you know,
Speaker 1: And some of these a lot of these you know,
Speaker 1: computer jobs, even corporate jobs that you know have to
Speaker 1: do with filing and you know, and and all that
Speaker 1: sort of thing that those are going to be gone.
Speaker 1: But if you can figure out a way to make
Speaker 1: the technology work for you, that's I think that's the
Speaker 1: path to do it. And I don't know it's but
Speaker 1: it's definitely changing pretty quickly, way quickly.
Speaker 2: Based on what we were just going to be talking about.
Speaker 2: Pretty soon we're going to be working for technology, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. Is there a future? Yeah, well that's
Speaker 1: the thing. I think that and I'm just you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking out loud. But you know, if you're
Speaker 1: working for that stuff, I don't know what the future is.
Speaker 1: But if you can figure out a way to make
Speaker 1: the technology work for you, then you may have a
Speaker 1: have a future and you can you know, go and
Speaker 1: make a bunch of money and go about that way.
Speaker 1: But yeah, if you're just sitting there waiting on you know,
Speaker 1: being able to do kind of normal tech jobs that
Speaker 1: have been around for again ten twenty years, those probably
Speaker 1: aren't going to be there anymore.

Speaker 2: where did you let me ask you? Well, the only
Speaker 2: reason I did that story is because all I could
Speaker 2: think of is where do you find something like that?
Speaker 2: A two hundred year old rubber now made of a
Speaker 2: sheep's appendix?
Speaker 1: Is it on display or is it up for auction?
Speaker 2: It was on display. I don't know what kind of

Speaker 3: Oh God, guys, have a great day. Man.
Speaker 1: Thanks DoD that's good stuff. Yeah, that's another.
Speaker 2: Reason I wanted to become the bass player, because I
Speaker 2: was I was going to be the guy in the
Speaker 2: back smoking weed and like, okay, call me when you
Speaker 2: need me.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things because like on the surface,
Speaker 1: you say, okay, you know the bass player, you can't
Speaker 1: really hear it, but you can, but you can really
Speaker 1: hear it when it's not there, right, If that makes sense,
Speaker 1: you know, you instantly go like, you know, like a
Speaker 1: normal song, if you know, if you ask people like
Speaker 1: what was that bassline? Like there, like I don't know,
Speaker 1: just kind of part of the song. But if all
Speaker 1: of a sudden there isn't any bass, you immediately go,
Speaker 1: what the hell's wrong with this band?
Speaker 9: Like that?
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound right? Some a big hole. There's a
Speaker 1: big hole in this song. It's missing right.
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I read a thing not too long ago.
Speaker 2: Somebody said, yeah, listen to McCartney's bass line in something
Speaker 2: you know, there's some thing the George song, and listen
Speaker 2: to Paul's bassline, and that I was like that, that's
Speaker 2: a bass I never heard a song a million times.
Speaker 2: I've never even thought about it. Have a bass at it.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can go online and go on YouTube,
Speaker 1: I think, and and uh, you know they'll have songs
Speaker 1: that well, they'll take instruments out. You can say like
Speaker 1: whatever such and such song without minus the bass, and
Speaker 1: it's like, god, it's really really crazy. Now. The Doors,
Speaker 1: of course, the best band of all time, famously did
Speaker 1: not have a bass player. Well really until their last
Speaker 1: La Woman had a bass player on it. But before that,
Speaker 1: Raymond Zer played a bass organ with his left hand
Speaker 1: and then played like regular piano organ with his right hand,
Speaker 1: which is kind of cool.
Speaker 2: See that's a that's another thing. I'm not nearing ambidextrious
Speaker 2: enough to ever try to do something like that. I
Speaker 2: can completely can't do crap with my left hand. You
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Well, what happens if you break
Speaker 2: your right hand head? I mean, well, I'm gonna have
Speaker 2: to learn something at the at the ripe old age.
Speaker 1: Of sixty eight.
Speaker 2: To well, I think maybe if I was younger and
Speaker 2: I'd have tried more back then, but you know, you
Speaker 2: just kind of if you haven't used your your left
Speaker 2: hand in uh, you know, fifty years, then it just
Speaker 2: uh it says, well, I'll let the right hand do everything.
Speaker 1: There you go, that's uh in another news that this
Speaker 1: is an article that this is like right eye of

Speaker 1: one like zombie thing and there's a wreck on the
Speaker 1: highway and he escapes and then kind of founds this
Speaker 1: whole zombie colony in Vegas. It's actually a pretty good movie.
Speaker 1: It's it's super far fetched, of course, but uh yeah, man,

Speaker 2: Me talking to our old friend Miranda McGhee. She's one
Speaker 2: of the guys for Mega American Legacy Tours here in town,
Speaker 2: doing the ghost walk tours and such.
Speaker 1: She has seen a lot find that the haunted places
Speaker 1: all throughout the tri State. She's going to tell us
Speaker 1: all about the things she has seen. I love it,
Speaker 1: love it and g a cool gig.
Speaker 2: It is apparently because my my son knows her quite well,
Speaker 2: and they were talking and he said, that sounds like
Speaker 2: something you know I might like to do sometime is
Speaker 2: take the It would be a tour guide if you
Speaker 2: guys are looking for him. I love that stuff. She goes, well, uh,
Speaker 2: it's fun.
Speaker 1: He goes.
Speaker 2: She goes, we ushould take a tour, and he goes, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: that's cool. Me and my girlfriend go with you or something,
Speaker 2: and she goes, no, you don't want to go with me.
Speaker 1: I'm too fraid. I'm too afraid. Yeah, she's told us
Speaker 1: that before. She's you know, the Ghose tours, and I
Speaker 1: get freaked out suposed to like just eas sleep and
Speaker 1: breathe this stuff because you know, but it makes it
Speaker 1: all the better that she's, uh it wants to be,
Speaker 1: knows how scared.
Speaker 2: It wants to be on the the beer cellar beat
Speaker 2: right right?
Speaker 1: In another news that what's one thing that I absolutely love?
Speaker 1: World records? Yes, and here we are. It's that time
Speaker 1: of year. It's fall, Halloween around the corner, and two
Speaker 1: brothers have just set a Guinness World Record for the
Speaker 1: heaviest pumpkin. Okay, and these folks are in where they at,
Speaker 1: They're in England somewhere, and the the pumpkin that they
Speaker 1: have grown, they set the world record two nineteen pounds.
Speaker 13: Damn.
Speaker 1: Crazy big right now. And of course went down a
Speaker 1: rabbit hole with this. And there's like a belief in
Speaker 1: the the pumpkin growing community. If there's no limits on
Speaker 1: how big a pumpkin can grow. It's not like, you know,
Speaker 1: like a sunflower, for instance, it's only going to get
Speaker 1: so big, right, But a pumpkin, you know, they can
Speaker 1: they can keep get getting bigger and bigger. And the
Speaker 1: evidence of that is you go back ten years ago
Speaker 1: and a two thousand pound pumpkin was like, that's like
Speaker 1: as big as it gets, right, That's that was the
Speaker 1: biggest ones. And now the Holy Grail, of course, is
Speaker 1: trying to find one that is three thousand pounds. These
Speaker 1: guys are what about you know, lid just shy of
Speaker 1: two hundred pounds off of that. They also said the record,
Speaker 1: Yeah good.
Speaker 2: No, I was going to say, I don't know how
Speaker 2: you'd tend to something like that, but go ahead, we'll
Speaker 2: talk about it.
Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you because again I went down
Speaker 1: the rabbit hole. And obviously it's it's like anything, it
Speaker 1: starts with the seed, and you can't just go get
Speaker 1: a normal pumpkin seed and expect to grow a pumpkin
Speaker 1: that's you know, hundreds and hundreds of pounds, if not
Speaker 1: thousands of pounds. But outside of that, it is after
Speaker 1: you get the right seed that's been you know, it's
Speaker 1: been modified to grow big, and it's actually like a
Speaker 1: form of squash. And after that it's just kind of
Speaker 1: selecting the right place in the right fertile ground and
Speaker 1: having enough space and watering it, and then you got
Speaker 1: to prune the vines and and all that. But I mean,
Speaker 1: these guys have been doing this for decades and they
Speaker 1: this is like their thing. This thing is I mean
Speaker 1: it's the size of like a like a bison, right,
Speaker 1: I mean over a ton. I mean good night, I
Speaker 1: don't well, giant.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when we go and get into how do you
Speaker 2: transport the damn thing? You got to get a rigular.
Speaker 1: And well you can see this picture I have here,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is all it's. Yeah, see it's on
Speaker 1: a It takes a forklift. It's a palette and a
Speaker 1: forklift to wheel this thing around. But I mean that'll
Speaker 1: be wild. I mean, here a couple of years that
Speaker 1: we'll be talking about a three thousand pound pumpkin. And
Speaker 1: I feel like we've we've talked about this before, and
Speaker 1: I feel like we had a caller call in and
Speaker 1: talk with that that did this or kind of knows
Speaker 1: the ins and outs and doing it. If you're listening
Speaker 1: right now, call the show just how you go about
Speaker 1: growing these world record size pumpkins, because yeah, it's uh
Speaker 1: pretty cool.
Speaker 9: These.
Speaker 1: By the way, these same guys also set the record
Speaker 1: for the biggest circumference of a of a pumpkin, So
Speaker 1: there you go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember when when you first brought that up,
Speaker 2: I was thinking we did talk to somebody from around
Speaker 2: here describing how you do that stuff, and it is
Speaker 2: pretty involved. I mean, it's like shading it sometime from
Speaker 2: the hot sun and just keep them maintaining the.
Speaker 1: Other thing you gotta do and you gotta I think
Speaker 1: this is with all pumpkins, so I'm not mistaken. You
Speaker 1: farmers out there would would be able to correct me.
Speaker 1: But I think you gotta, like, you gotta rotate them
Speaker 1: around because if they just lay on in the same spot,
Speaker 1: they get really flat. So you gotta kind of roll them,
Speaker 1: and you know that that sort of thing. I've actually
Speaker 1: seen people take like a mold and kind of grow
Speaker 1: the pumpkin inside the mold, and you can get a
Speaker 1: pumpkin that has like a whatever empire face or something,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Oh, I've seen those guys, yeah, you know on TV.
Speaker 1: And it's like a like a like a block, you know,
Speaker 1: or like a square kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they but yeah, I guess you would put in
Speaker 2: a mold or something. But but those people who carve
Speaker 2: pumpkins and you see them on TV and it looks
Speaker 2: exactly like they can make it look like you or
Speaker 2: me or you know, whoever the hell they can trump
Speaker 2: or something like that or whatever you wanted to take.
Speaker 1: Yeah, trump pumpkin. But I don't know how you learn.
Speaker 2: How to do that. Man, that's I have to say.
Speaker 2: That's a great talent. But I wouldn't begin to know
Speaker 2: how to do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's just, you know, it's just cool.
Speaker 1: It's just to see the things people are into. And again,
Speaker 1: these guys have been doing this for decades and decades.
Speaker 1: They're two brothers and they you know, they know how
Speaker 1: to do it. And I'm not sure what kind of
Speaker 1: didn't say what kind of prize money is in this thing? Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking like a lot of time and
Speaker 1: resources and dedication. It should at least be a fifty
Speaker 1: thousand other or something. Shouldn there.
Speaker 2: Well, you get a hell of a lot of punk

Speaker 22: Which means borrowing money will be a little bit cheaper.
Speaker 22: The FED cutting it down a quarter of a point.
Speaker 7: This was idly expected.

Speaker 22: there be another before twenty twenty six? Chairman Poul says

Speaker 3: He's like, oh my gosh, just November come already. And
Speaker 3: I'm like, but wait, this happens. He's a huge skeptic,
Speaker 3: so he doesn't believe any of it. And I'm like,
Speaker 3: but then, okay, you guys get this, Eddie, Rocky are right.
Speaker 3: So I took him down to the tunnels where we
Speaker 3: go for our Nightmare on Elm Street tour because somebody
Speaker 3: proposed down there and they wanted to have me hide
Speaker 3: the ring. I don't know, they're like history buff. We
Speaker 3: get down into the tunnels, just the two of us,
Speaker 3: and he started to look a little nervous. He was like, oh,
Speaker 3: it is kind of spooky down here. That's my that's
Speaker 3: my Lexington accent here from Lexington and by the way, yeah.
Speaker 19: Yeah, it's like good.
Speaker 3: He's like, oh, it's just kind of freaky, and he
Speaker 3: were getting increasingly freaked out while I'm trying to work
Speaker 3: out way to hide this string. And finally he just
Speaker 3: yelled out, just yelled to the tunnels. He said, well,
Speaker 3: y'all can't hurt me because because Jesus, he just yelled out,
Speaker 3: Jesus solid arguments.
Speaker 2: As I went down, does Jesus.
Speaker 3: Jesus got back?
Speaker 1: He got me?
Speaker 3: I thought it anyway, So that's how I was glad.
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm glad you talking to Edie and Rocky,
Speaker 3: so I don't have to listen to it anymore.
Speaker 2: Okay, So well let's we We talked to you over
Speaker 2: the last couple of years, and every year you've got stories.
Speaker 1: What are some of the latest?
Speaker 3: So I don't know if I ever talked to you guys,
Speaker 3: because I just saw this the other day at the
Speaker 3: Campbell County Courthouse. Have you guys ever been there? I mean, Rocky,
Speaker 3: you must have been there a few times, right the courthouse.
Speaker 1: I haven't been in trouble with the laws. That's it's
Speaker 1: the last time you went on a slutty fire about
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, it was a big hit in the case, That's.
Speaker 9: What I thought.
Speaker 3: So the Campbell County Courthouse, which by the way, was
Speaker 3: built between eighteen eighty three and eighteen eighty four for
Speaker 3: a whopping one thousand dollars. Wow, I know inflation right.
Speaker 3: By the way, you guys, my friends hate that I
Speaker 3: have this job. We're like walking down the street and
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know in eighteen fifty They're like, oh
Speaker 3: my gosh, stop it. Anyway, So the courthouse, that was
Speaker 3: the last execution that was done there was for the
Speaker 3: murderers of Pearl Brian. Do you guys remember Pearl Brian.
Speaker 3: Have you heard about her?
Speaker 16: No?
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
Speaker 3: Okay, it may start sounding familiar. It made pretty massive
Speaker 3: news around here in the eighteen hundreds, but it's still
Speaker 3: talked about today. She was a young lady in the
Speaker 3: late eighteen hundreds eighteen ninety six. She was twenty two
Speaker 3: years old from Indiana, and a guy from Cincinnati, Scott Jackson,
Speaker 3: decapitated her because she got pregnant out of wedlock and
Speaker 3: he didn't want to have to deal with the baby,
Speaker 3: so he decapitated her while she was still alive. And
Speaker 3: it's rumored the head was never found, and it's rumored
Speaker 3: to be under where Bobby Mackie's used to be, which
Speaker 3: is why Bobby Mackie's was felt wanted over the other
Speaker 3: side of the river. Yeah, sure, And anyway, so they
Speaker 3: get these guys, Scott Jackson and Alonzo Walling. They drugged
Speaker 3: her with cocaine and then decapitated her in Fort Thomas
Speaker 3: and left the body but took the head and they
Speaker 3: took it like. Once they decapitated her, they put her
Speaker 3: head in a bag and then went to a pub
Speaker 3: and they gave the bag to the bartender to take
Speaker 3: care of while they were drinking. And the bartender was like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is heavy. Is there a bowling ball in here?
Speaker 3: And Scott Jackson, the guy that murdered, he just smiled.
Speaker 3: He was like yes. And then when they were hanged
Speaker 3: on the lawn right in front of Newport, in front
Speaker 3: of Campbell County Courthouse, the ropes were not measured correctly,
Speaker 3: so instead of jumping and having their necks broken, they
Speaker 3: slowly strangled to death over a few minutes, which I
Speaker 3: call karma. But because of that through aut campbellt County
Speaker 3: Courthouse the other day, there's a man that stands in
Speaker 3: the bell tower and we think that's Scott Jackson still
Speaker 3: because he died in a slow way, that his spirit
Speaker 3: is still hanging around as it should be because he
Speaker 3: did a really terrible thing.
Speaker 2: Yes, Now, what do you when you see something like that?
Speaker 2: Are you just seeing a shadowy figure or is there
Speaker 2: a face attached to it?
Speaker 9: Or what it was?
Speaker 3: When I saw him, we were there sort of late
Speaker 3: at night training on a tour and I looked up
Speaker 3: and I just saw like it looked like there was
Speaker 3: a man in the bell tower. And I looked up
Speaker 3: and I turned to my fellow guy, Laura. I was like, hey,
Speaker 3: there's a guy up there. And then we looked back
Speaker 3: and he wasn't there, and She's like, no one's ever
Speaker 3: in the Bell Tower. You must have seen the ghosts
Speaker 3: of Scott Jackson. Wow.
Speaker 2: Now wow.
Speaker 1: So and this is like, I mean, is this a
Speaker 1: pretty well known one or is this a little bit
Speaker 1: more obscure? I guess.
Speaker 3: Pearl Brian made like nationwide news in the eighteen hundreds,
Speaker 3: and people just know because Bobby Mackie's used to like
Speaker 3: really sort of cash in and on that story because
Speaker 3: they never did find her head, and there was rumors
Speaker 3: that there was a satanic cult in the basement of
Speaker 3: Bobby Mackie's and so, and they apparently brought the head
Speaker 3: there as an offering to their dark lord. I know, anyway,
Speaker 3: Bobby Mackie's isn't there anymore.
Speaker 2: But let me ask you that because that's a we'd
Speaker 2: years ago on the Boarding show. We spent the well,
Speaker 2: we had our producers spend the night in there, and
Speaker 2: uh it just so happens that a couple of day
Speaker 2: other guys from the show stayed there and hid in
Speaker 2: the uh in the attic or something, and they were
Speaker 2: they were putting, they were making noise and banging on
Speaker 2: pipes and stuff, and that poor guy had wet himself
Speaker 2: so hard by the time we got there in the
Speaker 2: morning he could barely talk.
Speaker 1: But I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh well and well you well, you know
Speaker 2: this story Marianda, that wasn't there always like a rose
Speaker 2: scented perfume or something connected with her appearance or I
Speaker 2: forget what it was. But they they sprayed like you know,
Speaker 2: some of the like room deodorizer stuff with the floral
Speaker 2: scent to it. And He's like, I smelled the flowers.
Speaker 2: I smelled the flowers.
Speaker 1: I heard the noise.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: Well, you know that was a funny.
Speaker 3: That you started to say we spent the night there.
Speaker 3: Then you're like, no, after we didn't.
Speaker 1: Go we just so.
Speaker 2: So now you've talked before about having actual physical contacts
Speaker 2: with these things.
Speaker 1: Has anything like that happened here lately?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So on our Ultimate Queen City Haunted Tour, which is
Speaker 3: really cool, we go through, like you know, you hear
Speaker 3: the dark history of Washington Park, which you gentlemen know
Speaker 3: about that it used to be three separate cemeteries and
Speaker 3: half the park has never been dug up. So there's
Speaker 3: still heaps of bodies in Washington Park, which is exactly
Speaker 3: why the dog park is paved over because they don't
Speaker 3: want the little puppas digging around like coming up with
Speaker 3: a femur.
Speaker 1: Wow, I didn't notice.
Speaker 9: That.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the children's playground as all. There's heaps of bodies
Speaker 3: under the children's playground as well. So the record was
Speaker 3: destroyed through the fires we've had at City Hall and
Speaker 3: the courthouse, So nobody knew about the bodies until twenty
Speaker 3: eleven when they did the forty eight million dollar renovation
Speaker 3: and dug out the underground parking garage. Then they found
Speaker 3: all the bodies.
Speaker 1: Now, how many how many do you think or how
Speaker 1: many do they say that there are down there? Would
Speaker 1: they guess?
Speaker 12: So?
Speaker 3: Down the north end the part they dug out for
Speaker 3: the underground parking garage, they found seventy three graves because
Speaker 3: at the time, in eighteen sixty, they used to be
Speaker 3: three separate cemeteries. This is hilarious, you guys. In the
Speaker 3: eighteen sixties they decided they wanted to do something nice
Speaker 3: over the rhine because it was three separate cemeteries. They're like,
Speaker 3: you know what, let's change this into a park. So
Speaker 3: they put out a citywide announcement saying, Hey, if you
Speaker 3: have people buried here, can you come get them? Because
Speaker 3: they're trying to build a park.
Speaker 6: I know, right.
Speaker 1: I was like, are a major inconvenience here?
Speaker 26: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What a nuisance?
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 3: I was really upset when the metro went up by
Speaker 3: like ten percent. I was like, two dollars twenty to
Speaker 3: ride the metro. Now, I imagine going to be asked
Speaker 3: to pick up like your relatives is probably a bigger ask.
Speaker 3: So I had to say about that perspective. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 3: I can get twenty cents. I don't have to go
Speaker 3: dig up great great uncle George. So they put out
Speaker 3: a city wine announcement saying, yeah, can you come get
Speaker 3: your relative. A few people did, but a lot of
Speaker 3: people were like, no, we're not doing that. So then
Speaker 3: the city, because it was eighteen sixty, they just plucked
Speaker 3: out the headstones, put three feet of dirt on top,
Speaker 3: and cold.
Speaker 9: It a day.
Speaker 3: Because it was eighteen sixty, They're like, who's gonna know?
Speaker 9: Wow, And this is that.
Speaker 3: You don't know until you know. Look. And then twenty
Speaker 3: eleven is when we found that out that all those
Speaker 3: buddies there. So we found seventy three graves in the
Speaker 3: north end. The South end which hasn't been dug up.
Speaker 3: We've used ground penetrating radar. There are so many bodies
Speaker 3: from the South end. So you know those beautiful lawns.
Speaker 3: Somebody on my tour the other day we walked into
Speaker 3: Washington Park. She said, Oh my gosh, I got married
Speaker 3: right on these lawnes and I had to do it.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, people were dying to go to
Speaker 3: that wedding. Do you guys like that joke? Yeah? Perfect,
Speaker 3: thank you.
Speaker 1: So that's it's so funny, by the way, Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, No, what's funny by the way.
Speaker 3: Sorry, yeah, no, I.
Speaker 1: Was just saying like we think that, like, oh, and
Speaker 1: you know, back in the day things were, you know,
Speaker 1: a little more pure and refined. No, just just put
Speaker 1: more dirt over these bodies here. No one cares, you know,
Speaker 1: or dig them up, whatever doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: It was the worst back then, and the medical colleges
Speaker 3: at the times eighteen hundred, the only bodies they could
Speaker 3: get to practice on the medical students were from executed prisoners.
Speaker 3: It was taboo to donate your body to science, and
Speaker 3: so Ohio Medical College did an unprecedented thing. They were
Speaker 3: located on Vine Street. They started saying, hey, if you
Speaker 3: give us a body, because obviously they were desperate for bodies.
Speaker 3: They're like, if you give us the body, we will
Speaker 3: pay you one hundred and twenty five dollars, no questions asked.
Speaker 3: So two things we hear incredibly popular and Cincinnati murder
Speaker 3: and grave robbing. The Ohio Medical College became known as
Speaker 3: the Ohio Murder College because they had so many bodies
Speaker 3: that started selling them to different universities like the University
Speaker 3: of Michigan. Uh and then they had to rebrand, so
Speaker 3: now they're the College of Medicine at the University of Cincinnati.
Speaker 13: So go back caps.
Speaker 1: Well, well, if you know this story, I mean tied
Speaker 1: to that though, is you know Bill Cunningham, right of course,
Speaker 1: uh noon to three. One of his ancestors, Old Cunney,
Speaker 1: was a grave robber in Cincinnati. This is true, honest
Speaker 1: to god facts. Ask him about it and he'll tell you.
Speaker 1: We'll probably have to we're going to talk to him
Speaker 1: at five o'clock then we have to ask him to
Speaker 1: go through all this. But yeah, he was. He was
Speaker 1: a grave robber for that very reason. It was profitable, so.
Speaker 3: He was a very rich man. I can't we were
Speaker 3: making a dollar twenty five a day and one hundred
Speaker 3: and twenty five dollars to a body.
Speaker 2: I was going to say, one hundred and twenty five
Speaker 2: dollars a body that went a long way back then, man, huge,
Speaker 2: Yeah he did.
Speaker 3: It's about I think it's about fifty seen hundred dollars today,
Speaker 3: but to go way back. Sorry, you guys asked me
Speaker 3: if i'd had the experiences recently on that tour Queen
Speaker 3: City Haunted. Not only do we go through Washing Park,
Speaker 3: but we go into the Symphony Hotel. Have you guys
Speaker 3: been to the Symphony Hotel right by Music Hall.
Speaker 1: I've seen it, but I have never been.
Speaker 3: I have not. That's because you guys probably give it
Speaker 3: a wide berth. You're like, oh, it feels creepy. You
Speaker 3: should send your producers in there. Yeah the night, Yeah,
Speaker 3: tell him to spend the night in the Mozart room.
Speaker 3: So the Symphony Hotel back in the nineteen forties was
Speaker 3: called the Clyde Hotel, which you could rent a room
Speaker 3: for just a couple of hours. And there was a
Speaker 3: lady of the night. We'll call her Monica. Her name
Speaker 3: is actually Monica, but we'll call her a lady of
Speaker 3: the night. But you know what she kind of did
Speaker 3: for work, And in the Mozart room she was murdered
Speaker 3: by a client who was unsatisfied, and then he rolled
Speaker 3: her in the carpet and stuffed her under the bed.
Speaker 3: And she is very active in that room. The other week,
Speaker 3: I had a couple on the tour. The boyfriend obviously
Speaker 3: didn't want to be there. He'd been like dragged there
Speaker 3: and we left the motes that room and he's like, Miranda,
Speaker 3: I just had something really weird happened. I thought my
Speaker 3: girlfriend put her arm around my waist, but then I
Speaker 3: looked at her and she was like on the other
Speaker 3: side of the room. So Monica still likes to flirt
Speaker 3: with the men. And if you stay the night in
Speaker 3: the room, as your producer will obviously do, if you're
Speaker 3: laying alone in the bed, you'll feel the bed settle
Speaker 3: next to you as if somebody has gotten into the
Speaker 3: bed with you, and the sheets get flipped up and
Speaker 3: people get their feet tickled. So we think it's Monica
Speaker 3: still doing her job.
Speaker 2: Wow, that sounds like my single days. The With that, Miranda,
Speaker 2: we will, we will let you go. People want to
Speaker 2: find out more about these ghost tours, where can they go?
Speaker 3: Just to American Legacy tours dot com. I would encourage

Speaker 2: Talk to him about it, said Grave Grave Robin Grandpa.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We just had Randon McGee on with American Legacy Tours
Speaker 1: and she was talking about all the well the bodies
Speaker 1: that are still buried underneath Washington Park and that kind
Speaker 1: of led to the grave robbering topic, and we're like, well,
Speaker 1: we know a family member of maybe one of the
Speaker 1: most infamous grave robbers in Cincinnati history, William Cunningham aka
Speaker 1: whole Cuney. Okay, so we're gonna have to we have
Speaker 1: to have Willie refresh us on his uh his tech
Speaker 1: glacious history. Yeah, and other news that here. Did you
Speaker 1: know that Japan has bears? Did you know that? I
Speaker 1: did not know. I did not know either, But apparently
Speaker 1: like they have like a lot of bears, all right, Again,
Speaker 1: these are the things that maybe only interest me. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's something no, not at all be So there's only
Speaker 1: was there two hundred ish countries in the world, right
Speaker 1: where only sixty countries on the planet have bears. Japan
Speaker 1: is one of them, all right, has upwards of sixty
Speaker 1: thousand bears estimates, forty four thousand black bears and twelve
Speaker 1: thousand of the brown bears. Those are the ones you
Speaker 1: gotta worry about, the brown bears anyway, I guess. Apparently
Speaker 1: there's like an unprecedented spike in bear attacks in Japan.
Speaker 1: The resulted in a record high annual death toll, why
Speaker 1: injury more than one hundred people this year alone. So
Speaker 1: long story short, the Yeah, the the military right has
Speaker 1: has has been called out to the Ministry of Defense
Speaker 1: of Japan has been called out to go and just
Speaker 1: these bears and kill them because they're causing a big nuisance.
Speaker 1: Who knew.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm surprised that down in the Gatlinburg area down
Speaker 2: in the Smokies that you don't hear more about bear
Speaker 2: attacks because people are so freaking stupid, you know, they.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I'm just selfie by the bear.
Speaker 2: And yeah, and guess what I don't like the goons
Speaker 2: that go to Yellowstone and think they can walk up
Speaker 2: and pet a bison. Guess what the are wild animals?
Speaker 1: You idiot? Yeah, you idiot, colossal idiot. But yeah, you
Speaker 1: know it's it's that time of year, hibernation is coming around.
Speaker 1: I guess they get a little little cranky around there
Speaker 1: and a little more active. So yeah, bringing the army guns,
Speaker 1: the whole deal, get rid of them.
Speaker 2: See, it is that time of year when you start thinking.
Speaker 2: When I lived in the old place, we had those
Speaker 2: woods in our backyard. When you have woods all around
Speaker 2: your house, to see how active the squirrels get. Man,
Speaker 2: when they're out there, it's all man. We had a
Speaker 2: little right next to our driveway and around the back
Speaker 2: of our house that came back that's where you entered
Speaker 2: the garage, and there was a little, i don't know,
Speaker 2: i'll say eight by eight little dirt patch there between
Speaker 2: the deck and the driveway, And so we just put
Speaker 2: little shrubs and stuff and flowers in there. And dude,
Speaker 2: in the springtime, you know, and I'd go out there
Speaker 2: and just clean up whatever. And they're every in that
Speaker 2: little eight by eight patch. I guarantee you. They were
Speaker 2: always ten or twelve little mounds. And you dig down
Speaker 2: in there a couple of inches and sure enough there
Speaker 2: was a walnut or an acorn or some such that
Speaker 2: they were they were burying for later on.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, at my house, man, Like, if you go
Speaker 1: down my driveway, it's like, I mean, and this is
Speaker 1: you know, before you get to the moat and the
Speaker 1: dragon and all that, but if you get after you
Speaker 1: get past that, it's like the squirrels play Russian roulette.
Speaker 1: Like they dart across the driveway. I mean like four
Speaker 1: and five of them, I mean from the beginning to
Speaker 1: the end, and it's you know, sometimes you know, you
Speaker 1: hit one, it's the worst thing ever. But yeah, those
Speaker 1: things are running all over the place. Well, that was
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, walnuts and stuff with a
Speaker 1: lot of water trees. So there's all a million of
Speaker 1: them round.
Speaker 2: I was going to say, it is amazing how many
Speaker 2: times you're driving along and a squirrel darts out in
Speaker 2: front of you and you could swear there is absolutely
Speaker 2: no way in hell you miss that thing, no way, right,
Speaker 2: And sure then you look into your rear view he's gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah boom, he's gone yeah. Yeah. I don't know how
Speaker 1: they do it, but it's like, yeah, they run toward
Speaker 1: the car, but then somehow, Yeah, they're just super nimble
Speaker 1: obviously and figure out a way to get out of it.
Speaker 1: But a bear not as much. Have you hit a
Speaker 1: bear with your car, it's going to do a little damage.
Speaker 2: Well, we had a story yesterday where the this was
Speaker 2: the Zimbabwe Jason and I were talking about it and
Speaker 2: some people driving down the highway you know, you're in Africa.
Speaker 2: Guess what they ran into an elephant. They hits this
Speaker 2: elephant in the butt. And you know, a car hits
Speaker 2: an elephant. All it did was pissed the elephant off,
Speaker 2: and the elephant turns around and attacks the car and
Speaker 2: killed a guy.
Speaker 1: Wow. Now, if you have you seen a bear like
Speaker 1: in the wild, I have not. I have not, you know,
Speaker 1: and I got you know, I'm an outdoorsy guy who
Speaker 1: you know, gone on backpacking trips, the whole deal. I've
Speaker 1: never seen a bear not at the zoo, and I've
Speaker 1: seen them.
Speaker 2: I saw a couple of them done in Tennessee, and
Speaker 2: I saw a couple in California. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 2: we were hiking up there in the mountains around Tahoe and.
Speaker 1: We were on a trail.
Speaker 2: But I heard, I could hear something behind us, and
Speaker 2: it's just me in deb and and I kind of
Speaker 2: look back, and I don't know if I don't think,
Speaker 2: I don't know he was stalking us or not. But
Speaker 2: this bear was kind of keeping his distance, but he
Speaker 2: was walking. He was pacing us, but he was about yeah,
Speaker 2: twenty five thirty thirty yards off to one side and
Speaker 2: about that far behind us. But I could see him
Speaker 2: through the trees and he was walking at our pace.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, we should probably pick up our pace.
Speaker 2: And uh, She's like why. I was like, just keep moving.
Speaker 1: He just keep moving. Yeah, I don't want to get
Speaker 1: get him panicked, you know, just keep going.
Speaker 2: Hopefully some mountain bike guys are going to come along
Speaker 2: so he has something else to follow.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I've told the story of form and listen to podcasts,
Speaker 1: and I guess one like just a huge outdoor guy
Speaker 1: always said if you see a brown bear and it's
Speaker 1: yards from you and it's running at you. You're dead,
Speaker 1: it's over. You know, that's just how fast those things.
Speaker 1: I saw a video the other day of a bear
Speaker 1: like climbing up like a mountain, the things like, you know,
Speaker 1: this thing's you know, five hundred plus pounds just shooting
Speaker 1: up this thing like a like a gazelle.
Speaker 2: Well that's the thing though, we as humans, basically our
Speaker 2: own people always say play dead. That kind of is
Speaker 2: your only option. You can't fight the thing, and if
Speaker 2: you do try to climb a tree right quick, they
Speaker 2: can climb it three times faster than you can.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just don't know if in that moment I
Speaker 1: could play dead. It's how you're giving up. But you
Speaker 1: know it's likely the best scenario, but I don't know. Well,
Speaker 1: hopefully I'll never have some worry about that.
Speaker 2: I'd rather try to play dead than to keep try
Speaker 2: to run away from it even though I know I can't,
Speaker 2: and just and just make it mad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like stay there. I mean, somebody bats your
Speaker 1: a little bit and I'll leave. But you're pissing me off.
Speaker 2: Now, See that's the you've never seen blazing saddles. But
Speaker 2: that's one of the best lines in there. The Mango guy.
Speaker 2: He's the big beast guy that comes into town to
Speaker 2: get the sheriff, and the sheriff's talking to his buddy,
Speaker 2: the gunfighter, and he goes, well, I guess I just
Speaker 2: shoot him, and then the other guy goes, we don't
Speaker 2: want to shoot him, you just make him mad. In
Speaker 2: other news Rock, this happened in Tejas. These cops were
Speaker 2: out on a mounted patrol, just kind of doing their
Speaker 2: routine thing. They stopped a guy who was walking in
Speaker 2: the street rather than on the sidewalk. The officers thought
Speaker 2: the forty two year old fella, Joseph Ramirez, was acting
Speaker 2: suspiciously and when they asked to check his pockets, he
Speaker 2: said no. Then one of the cops said, well, this horse,
Speaker 2: you know, is a narcotic smelling horse, And with that,
Speaker 2: the guy took off running. Yeah, they're wrong kind so
Speaker 2: uh and the cops said, well, he took it seriously and.
Speaker 1: The race was on.
Speaker 2: They didn't take it, didn't take long to catch him,
Speaker 2: and blah blah blah, they charged him.
Speaker 1: And his button.
Speaker 2: The other cops said, chasing bad guys is part of
Speaker 2: the fun in it for us. So when you get
Speaker 2: to chase down a bad guy and a horse and
Speaker 2: not even get tired, it's a good day. So that
Speaker 2: would be fun if you you know, well, don't they
Speaker 2: let him last on them? You know, like in the
Speaker 2: rodeo or something. You know what I'm saying, lasso a
Speaker 2: bear the horse.
Speaker 1: Oh no, a criminal?
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, just like in the movies. You know,
Speaker 2: you're running behind them and get them by the by
Speaker 2: the feet, string them up.
Speaker 1: Everybody's like dreamed of being able to do that. I've
Speaker 1: never tried it, but would like to throw the old
Speaker 1: lass around some something. I try to Kelly, I just.
Speaker 2: Get over here, you know. That's that's what you do.
Speaker 2: That's see, that's what they like. That's he That's about
Speaker 2: what we'd use our powers for. If we could do
Speaker 2: a lot of things, we'd always use it on our wives.
Speaker 1: That's right. You have all the limitless possibilities. We know
Speaker 1: we're gonna use our lass set through on our wives
Speaker 1: and piss them off. A s great plan.
Speaker 2: It's fun though. With that, we check in with traffic

Speaker 2: we're just talking about bears and whether or not you
Speaker 2: can fight a bear. Sir, you have actually wrestled a bear?
Speaker 2: Is that correct?
Speaker 26: Ellas I was a naive I than twenty five year old.
Speaker 26: It had been you know, forty years ago up in
Speaker 26: Indianapolis as the Boat and Travel show, and you probably
Speaker 26: can't even do it nowadays. And you kind of stirred
Speaker 26: a repressed memory on me because I tried to forget
Speaker 26: about how this bear had its way with me.
Speaker 9: But you know, there's a group of us up there.
Speaker 26: Running the boost for the show and you're up here
Speaker 26: for ten days, and a couple of them said, well,
Speaker 26: you know, who would wrestle that bear? And this big
Speaker 26: old qulkin bear, he's got his muzzle on, so I
Speaker 26: guess he doesn't bite you. I don't remember what they
Speaker 26: did about the claws, but I.
Speaker 9: Said, well, I had a beer too.
Speaker 26: I said, I'll wrestle that bear and probably cost me
Speaker 26: five bucks to boot. But I get out there and
Speaker 26: the guy's like, okay, you're ready to go. And I'm
Speaker 26: six foot, you know, two hundred pounds played football, and
Speaker 26: I think, I, you know, I'm going to hold my
Speaker 26: own against this beer.
Speaker 1: I got to show him.
Speaker 26: That bear came up, but it shook paus on my
Speaker 26: shoulders and just like it flicked me onto the ground,
Speaker 26: rolled me over, got on my back. You've heard of
Speaker 26: a bear hug before. Well he mounted me, and so
Speaker 26: now I'm not I'm not only I'm on the ground
Speaker 26: with this bear with a muzzle right up against my face,
Speaker 26: with drool rolling down onto me, the smell of a
Speaker 26: bear that probably hasn't showered in a lifetime, and I'm
Speaker 26: thinking I got to get out of this situation. Well,
Speaker 26: he pretty quickly got me down, flipped over, and and
Speaker 26: I tapped out. You know, I don't really recall exactly
Speaker 26: how the guy pulled him off, you know, like, come on, Bobo,
Speaker 26: you know you've had your way with this guy, and
Speaker 26: I mean ever since then, you know, I think about
Speaker 26: that and how just the pure strength of that bear
Speaker 26: and a man just wouldn't stand a chance, you know,
Speaker 26: particularly in the wild without a muzzle, without unsharpened claws
Speaker 26: or whatever that this bear had. And and you know,
Speaker 26: it's been forty years and he hasn't written me, hasn't
Speaker 26: called me that that bear.
Speaker 1: That's a bold move, because I mean it's an animal.
Speaker 1: You don't know what that thing's gonna do or how
Speaker 1: strong it is.
Speaker 26: And you just sing, you know, whatever the ring was
Speaker 26: all about, I don't know, just to keep you from
Speaker 26: immediately running away. I got a couple of beers out
Speaker 26: of it afterwards, and I took a good shower.
Speaker 1: I think the bear did too, thankfully. Well, you've done
Speaker 1: something I've I've not done. That's quite an experience. I
Speaker 1: commend you. Thanks, buddy.
Speaker 26: You probably can't do it nowadays that Peter would stop
Speaker 26: being a hard peat probably, thanks buddy.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I remember going, you know, at the carnivals
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. They had bear bear wrestling and
Speaker 2: they had like the bear really they had bare knuckle fights.
Speaker 2: Stricker's Grove they used to have all bare knuckle fights and.
Speaker 1: They were sugar I've been to Sugars Grove a hundred times.
Speaker 1: I don't know they had bear wrestling bear fights.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they had bear wrestling. Maybe it
Speaker 2: was part of that. But yeah, for years they used
Speaker 2: to have you know, uh, tough man competitions. So maybe
Speaker 2: there might have been a bear brundle long just to
Speaker 2: see how tough you are. He has a tough guy.
Speaker 2: You can fight Leonard right there, or you can fight

Speaker 1: That stuff that was good fun in the seventies and eighties.
Speaker 1: Right yeah, right on, see some cars, get some cotton
Speaker 1: candy and.
Speaker 2: Wrestle of bear with I bet you this guy as
Speaker 2: a wrestled a bear or two in his life. Let's
Speaker 2: if he hasn't, he will tell us he has. He
Speaker 2: is our good friend, Willie Cunningham. It is Wednesdays with
Speaker 2: Willy being brought to you by the fine folks at
Speaker 2: Joseph Automotive. Willie, before we get to the top of
Speaker 2: get hand, have you ever wrestled an animal of any nature?
Speaker 9: It was nineteen eighty six. There was a ring put
Speaker 9: together at then known as Latonia Racecourse and the bear
Speaker 9: was named Victor the Wrestling Bear. Andy Furman was the
Speaker 9: pr director. He wanted to get some radio personalities and
Speaker 9: those in TV had more sense, but Victor. A ring
Speaker 9: was set up at the racecourse and now it's a
Speaker 9: gamely casino, I believe, and turf way. It was known
Speaker 9: as Latonia and I was recruited by Latonia and Mike
Speaker 9: Pattaglia to wrestle Victor. And there were two personalities involved.
Speaker 9: One was Gary Burbank and the other was yours truly.
Speaker 9: And the ring was set up with I think there
Speaker 9: was a thousand or so people. There were nurses, and
Speaker 9: much like a high school football game, there was an
Speaker 9: ambulance available. And so when we get there, we were
Speaker 9: cheered up and screamed up.
Speaker 1: And I'm talking to Gary.
Speaker 9: I said, look, let's flip a coin to see who
Speaker 9: goes first. At that point, I was quite a droit
Speaker 9: at flipping a coin in such a way that I
Speaker 9: knew which way it was going to turn out. So
Speaker 9: I suggested that Gary, why didn't you call heads or tails?
Speaker 9: And when he set heads, I'd flipped the coin in
Speaker 9: a certain way and flipped it sly of hand that
Speaker 9: it was tails. I mean, Gary, you're going first. So
Speaker 9: Gary Burbank jumps in the ring with Victor. The crowds
Speaker 9: are going nuts, and Victor had a muzzle on it,
Speaker 9: but he had a large hole right at the front
Speaker 9: of his teeth, which I wasn't sure about why the
Speaker 9: hole was there until I discovered later the reason. So
Speaker 9: at this point, Gary Burbank latches into Victor much like
Speaker 9: a pro wrestler with that hole, to begin to match.
Speaker 9: Victor picked him up, twirled Gary around like it was
Speaker 9: a frisbee, and dropped him on the mat. At this point,
Speaker 9: Gary is screaming and hollering help, help, and I yelled
Speaker 9: at him as the crowd and joined me to follow.
Speaker 9: I said, Gary, you're on your own. At this point,
Speaker 9: Victor got on top of Gary, put his paws on
Speaker 9: either side of his head, and the hole in the
Speaker 9: muzzle hit a fourteen inch long yellow encrusted tongue. So
Speaker 9: the tongue of Victor comes out and starts licking Gary
Speaker 9: from the bottom of his atom's apple to the top
Speaker 9: of his head. At this point, Gary's losing his breath
Speaker 9: and he's saying help help. The crowd's laughing. I'm yelling,
Speaker 9: you're on your own. Doc Wolf is off to the right.
Speaker 9: He was the so called manager. He's laughing, I'm looking
Speaker 9: at Gary's eyes, and Gary's eyes are not having a
Speaker 9: good time. So the tongue started licking Gary's face, leaving
Speaker 9: the bear crud up his nostrils, in his eyes and
Speaker 9: in his mouth as he's yelling help help. At this
Speaker 9: point it's my turn to get in the get of
Speaker 9: the ring. Gary is pulled out by Doc Wolf by
Speaker 9: the ankles off to the side. The crowd's going nuts.
Speaker 9: So I say, Penny, is there? A nurse is there?
Speaker 9: Her name was Sandy Joseph Bless her soul, and she
Speaker 9: was in her nurse's outfit. She looked pretty good, but nonetheless,
Speaker 9: I jumped into the ring under the urging of the crowd.
Speaker 9: At this point, Victor anticipates I'm gonna hook up with him.
Speaker 9: Mono a mono, but not Willy. I start running around
Speaker 9: the ring and the and the trainer's yelling, don't do that.
Speaker 9: You're gonna you're gonna piss them off. Don't do it, Victor,
Speaker 9: don't do it. And I'm running faster, and Victor's coming
Speaker 9: after me. Just as he lunges at me, I jump
Speaker 9: at the top rope. He hits behind me on the
Speaker 9: top rope, the whole ring collapses into the front three
Speaker 9: rows of the crowd. Victor is now running loose in
Speaker 9: the crowd, a turnfoy latonia. He's running around and people
Speaker 9: are jumping on top of Victor to trying to calm
Speaker 9: him down. At this point, complete chaos, chaos and zoos.
Speaker 9: It takes about a half an hour to put the
Speaker 9: ring back together. So at this point you had to
Speaker 9: pay like one hundred dollars the wrestle Victor and the
Speaker 9: winner got ten thousand dollars. If you actually could pin Victor.
Speaker 9: Try penning a five hundred pound bear. Good luck. They
Speaker 9: collected one or two thousand dollars. I left the ring
Speaker 9: and I'm done wrestling animals. I'm done.
Speaker 1: Now that's quite a story. And nice story. And here
Speaker 1: I am thinking he didn't have a story for this.
Speaker 1: Of course he's got a story for Corse.
Speaker 4: He does.
Speaker 9: Of course he does, correct, But don't do a Victor
Speaker 9: in the eighties, seventies and eighties he was a legendary
Speaker 9: bear Victor. But don't let him lick you.
Speaker 1: And it's a bear. He don't stand a chance bear.
Speaker 1: That's the easiest hundred bucks you could ever accumulate.
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, there were two guys that wrestled Victor and
Speaker 9: he tended two guys. These guys weighed two hundred and
Speaker 9: fifty pounds each and they thought they were going to
Speaker 9: handle Victor. Each got on a leg or an arm.
Speaker 9: He treated them like rag dolls. He threw them off
Speaker 9: and got on top of them, and at one point
Speaker 9: he lifted a leg and.
Speaker 7: Piss on one of the guys.
Speaker 9: That was part of the act too. I figured the
Speaker 9: Victor had to relieve himself.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, there was something else we wanted to
Speaker 2: talk about.
Speaker 19: Willie Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the materfl of bear is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Don't wrestle a bear another thing you shouldn't do. So
Speaker 1: we had Miranda McGee on earlier. She is head of
Speaker 1: American Legacy Tours. They do the ghost tours here in town.
Speaker 1: And she got a talking about Washington Square and then
Speaker 1: you know there's you know, they about fifty years ago
Speaker 1: they found out there was a dug up a bunch
Speaker 1: of bodies while they were renovating the park, and there's
Speaker 1: still a bunch of bodies there. And led the conversation
Speaker 1: about how back in the day, like a day's wage
Speaker 1: was a dollar twenty five but if you could you know,
Speaker 1: you know, have a you know, find a body and
Speaker 1: give it to science, that was worth one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty five bucks. And we said, well, look, I mean
Speaker 1: our our afternoon, our noon three hosts. Here is maybe
Speaker 1: one of the most notorious grave robber family members this
Speaker 1: side of Cincinnati. Here, that is you and old Cunny.
Speaker 1: So we wanted you to tell the story about your
Speaker 1: grave robbing ancestors. Past.
Speaker 9: Well, I went to Wikipedia and I haven't potted up now.
Speaker 9: It's called William Cunningham eighteen o seven to eighteen seventy
Speaker 9: one was a well noted body snatcher who lived in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Speaker 9: He was a professional resurrectionist. Ningham provided corpses to area
Speaker 9: physicians and medical colleges from eighteen fifty five to eighteen
Speaker 9: seventy one at the Washington Park and the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Speaker 1: At the time it wasn't the suburbs.
Speaker 9: At the time it was, but not now because on
Speaker 9: to say, popularly known as Old Cunny. The other names
Speaker 9: attributed to Willie Cunningham was Old Man Dead and the Ghoul,
Speaker 9: the ghouls, thels got it long. He was born in
Speaker 9: Ireland in eighteen oh seven, a corner estimated by the
Speaker 9: time of his death he had re inturned well over
Speaker 9: several hundred bodies in Washington Park. He possibly lived in
Speaker 9: the state of Virginia before he moved to Cincinnati, where
Speaker 9: he flourished in life and death. He was a mortician
Speaker 9: who would pay the pay there in turn the dead
Speaker 9: person in the Washington Park, and they had this ingenious
Speaker 9: system where he had tubes down to the shoulders of
Speaker 9: the casket. He put them in the ground, awaited three days,
Speaker 9: and then back at night and pulled them and put
Speaker 9: the hooks in the ground through the tubes under the
Speaker 9: shoulders and pulled the people pulled the corpses up, often
Speaker 9: leading an arm or leg inside the casket, but he
Speaker 9: pulled up the casket and pulled up the dead body
Speaker 9: and took it to the Medical College of Ohio for
Speaker 9: hundreds of dollars per body. Now, his personal life was
Speaker 9: somewhat different. He married my mother's great great grandmother. My
Speaker 9: mother's name was Mary, and he married Mary Cunningham, who
Speaker 9: assisted him his dealing the bodies. He was arrested several
Speaker 9: times that would bribe the police with liquor and money
Speaker 9: to let him go. That's my family's history at Washington Park, Wow,
Speaker 9: and well, my rooms are deep in the ground of Cincinnati.
Speaker 9: And then after a while the family moved to Arline
Speaker 9: or an elsewhere because they were chased out of town.
Speaker 9: They wanted to get into Kentucky where they had more
Speaker 9: lax laws when it came to disinturing bodies.
Speaker 2: Now, did he survive all of this? I mean without
Speaker 2: going to say, without going in the jail or being
Speaker 2: hung or whatever.
Speaker 9: Bill Cunningham. Bill Cunningham was considered the most infamous bodies
Speaker 9: natural Ohio and he finally died in eighteen seventy one
Speaker 9: of alcohol abuse. He was a drunkard. He had a buggy.
Speaker 9: At night he would roll around between the river between
Speaker 9: the flats and up to Washington Park with a dead
Speaker 9: body next to him, and he had a sense of humor.
Speaker 9: He'd hit the dead body and say he says something smart,
Speaker 9: say something stupid. As he passed people, and people would
Speaker 9: laugh at him until they found out that he was
Speaker 9: feeling these are lives, these are dead bodies.
Speaker 3: So the.
Speaker 9: Case and so the police. At some point he said,
Speaker 9: we got to arrest this guy. So they arrested him,
Speaker 9: convicted him, but then he broke out of the Hamley
Speaker 9: County jail and went to Northern Kentucky, where he applied
Speaker 9: his trade in Latonia and Ellesmere for years and lived
Speaker 9: on Shaw Street, and my mother, when I was a kid,
Speaker 9: would take me along the route of William Cunningham built
Speaker 9: again from Washington Park over to northern Kentucky. He finally died,
Speaker 9: and then his wife and his children continued the business.
Speaker 9: But they didn't have the slight of hand of old
Speaker 9: Old County. So mom Mary spent some time in jail
Speaker 9: and the boys took up other occupations.
Speaker 1: I didn't have the magic touch that Old Cunny had.
Speaker 1: Your ancestor your great great great grandfather.
Speaker 9: Yes, it was a look at Wikipedia page, looking up
Speaker 9: William Cunningham. He left the legacy of body snatching, which
Speaker 9: is unmatched in Cincinnati's history.
Speaker 7: I don't know what wow.
Speaker 9: And that's And by the way, after the nineteen eighteen
Speaker 9: nineteen nineteen flu outbreak which killed thousands, they shut down
Speaker 9: Washington Park and that's where Spring Grove Cemetery was created.
Speaker 9: So then one way into the country to Spring Grove,
Speaker 9: because Washington Park had too they were buying bodies on
Speaker 9: bearing on top of bodies like act like boloney, and
Speaker 9: so they wanted to do their best to get all
Speaker 9: the bodies out. But my ancestors did their best too.
Speaker 9: But Washington Park became Spring Grove Cemetery where Pale Crossley
Speaker 9: is buried today.
Speaker 2: Well you know William talking to Miranda, she was talking.
Speaker 2: And that's something that Rocky and I I had no
Speaker 2: idea about this, is that there's still tons of bodies
Speaker 2: buried there in Washington.
Speaker 9: Hundreds of that it was the place to bury individuals.
Speaker 9: And the Civil War was another terrible event in which
Speaker 9: numerous Union soldiers had nowhere to bury them, and many
Speaker 9: times they put them in the river to float down
Speaker 9: to Louisville have to fish eat them. But if you
Speaker 9: had some money, you could hire a mortician to bury
Speaker 9: bury your love one at Washington Park. And they started
Speaker 9: stacking them on top of each other because there's less
Speaker 9: and less space. So really my ancestors were like an
Speaker 9: urban renewal, get rid of some of the bodies out
Speaker 9: of there, to have more fresh space.
Speaker 26: To put more dead people face.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that was kind of the Yeah, I'm sure
Speaker 1: that was kind of their pitch. Right, Look, you think
Speaker 1: I'm doing a ghastly deed. I'm actually doing everybody a
Speaker 1: favor here, of course to my my wealth and benefit.
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, right.
Speaker 9: The Cunningham wealth is built on the dead bodies of
Speaker 9: Washington Park, That's all.
Speaker 4: I can tell you.
Speaker 9: And we moved in our Latre and Ellesmere to get
Speaker 9: out of town. People got angry if they saw their
Speaker 9: grandma coming down on a buggy losing an arm next
Speaker 9: to my great great granddad William cunt old honey, and
Speaker 9: so he was chased out of town by a mob,
Speaker 9: according to the inquiry, chased out of town by a mob.
Speaker 9: Just look it up Wikipedia, William Cunningham body snatcher.
Speaker 2: It's all right there, we will I'm we're going to
Speaker 2: be checking into that. Do you have any do you
Speaker 2: have any plans for Halloween? You're going to try to
Speaker 2: have a seance and revisit the I the ghost of
Speaker 2: Cunny will visit you.
Speaker 9: He donated his body to the Medical College of Ohio,
Speaker 9: which is now you see medical School. It was there
Speaker 9: for decades nothing but bones. And I've won, I've asked,
Speaker 9: I've asked John Barrett, you know William, his brother runs
Speaker 9: you see Medical.
Speaker 1: I like to get my bodies.
Speaker 9: I like to get the bones back, but they can't
Speaker 9: locate my great great granddad's bones. He donated his own
Speaker 9: body to science. He was a humanitarian. So somewhere my
Speaker 9: great great bones are somewhere, And if I get him,
Speaker 9: I'm going to go to Washington Park late at night
Speaker 9: and bury him there. That's where he belongs.
Speaker 1: One of the pioneers that before you get like one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five bucks.
Speaker 9: For it, right, I mean bodies. He was entrepreneurial. He
Speaker 9: also went rifle through the pockets and steal the money
Speaker 9: people left behind, wristwatches.

Speaker 1: Get ready for reliable home comfort in any season with
Speaker 1: Apollo Home.
Speaker 6: For a limited time, get a twenty nine dollars h
Speaker 6: back too, now from the hometown Heroes of service, from
Speaker 6: all right.
Speaker 2: Back with Eddie and Rocky and just a little while longer.
Speaker 2: But before we get out of here, we always like
Speaker 2: to talk to our friends at ABC, especially this fellow, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: our good friend Alex Stone. Now Alex Well, rock you
Speaker 2: were flying just this morning. Did you run in any
Speaker 2: trouble as for is getting in and out of places?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 1: None, at all you know, TSA was the line was moving.
Speaker 1: So I haven't felt anything over the last couple of
Speaker 1: weeks with the shutdown with air traffick controllers, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's not happening.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk to Alex Stone about it. Alex, what
Speaker 2: are we seeing?
Speaker 19: Yeah, So the big issue here being the Favor workers.
Speaker 19: Even though they quote unquote haven't been getting paid now
Speaker 19: for a number of weeks, this is now the first
Speaker 19: week that they have actually gone with a zero dollar paycheck.
Speaker 19: That yesterday was they were going to get paid their
Speaker 19: previous pay period of two weeks ago. They got a
Speaker 19: little bit in that paycheck from before the shutdown, but
Speaker 19: now they're fully in it. So they got no money
Speaker 19: on Tuesday when typically they would have had a paycheck.
Speaker 19: So this is more real than it has been since
Speaker 19: the shutdown started. And so now air traffic controllers they
Speaker 19: are turning to food banks and regular banks looking for
Speaker 19: zero interest loans, looking for some help. This week, air
Speaker 19: traffic controllers began handing out leaflets at airports across the
Speaker 19: country calling for an end to the shutdown and saying
Speaker 19: that they look at they work six days a week,
Speaker 19: oftentimes mandatory over time, because the FAA was already thirty
Speaker 19: five hundred air traffic controllers short of target levels before
Speaker 19: the shutdown, so they've got to work. And it's also
Speaker 19: why control towers and air traffic control centers are being
Speaker 19: shut down or reduced in what they're able to do
Speaker 19: almost every day now where the numbers are going down.
Speaker 19: But Mark Raush is a controller handing out pamphlets at
Speaker 19: airport and he says, they're really hurting that you continue
Speaker 19: to come to work.
Speaker 29: Each and every day. We're proud bunch, we're a professional bunch,
Speaker 29: and we're all showing up to work every day for
Speaker 29: no pay, skiing the public support to help us end
Speaker 29: the shott And he says.
Speaker 19: Yeah, controllers are now getting second jobs or driving for
Speaker 19: Uber in door dash and instacart to make ends meet,
Speaker 19: to make some money. But that adds a new layer
Speaker 19: of distraction, and they're not sleeping during that time. They
Speaker 19: work these long hours anyway, and then now they get
Speaker 19: off and they're either handing out pamphlets or they're driving
Speaker 19: for Uber, and then they go in and they control
Speaker 19: that flight that you're on. That that it adds in
Speaker 19: a layer of risk into the flying system. He says
Speaker 19: that they don't like you don't want to introduce.
Speaker 29: A distraction into an air traffic controller, and they're plugging
Speaker 29: in and looking at the runways and in the back
Speaker 29: of their head that has I just ran out of money.
Speaker 29: I had zero dollars in my bank account. How am
Speaker 29: I going to refill my vehicle so they can come
Speaker 29: back tomorrow to not get paid? How am I going
Speaker 29: to How am I gonna put food on table? How
Speaker 29: am I going to pay the rest and guys.
Speaker 19: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is saying forty four percent of
Speaker 19: delays on Sunday, and they had quite a few of
Speaker 19: them were because of staffing. As people are saying more
Speaker 19: and more, I can't come in, even though they're to
Speaker 19: come in. I can't come in because of any number
Speaker 19: of things childcare, food, gasoline. But that's why towers and
Speaker 19: air traffic control centers are being heavily impacted and shut
Speaker 19: down for a period of time every day and all
Speaker 19: over the country. But Duffy is saying, the controllers are
Speaker 19: sending a very clear message they want this shut down
Speaker 19: to end right now, or at least a stop gap.
Speaker 19: He says, this is their message thinking out how you
Speaker 19: guys can negotiate, have a conversation, but pay us in
Speaker 19: the introm make sure we get paid for the work
Speaker 19: that we provide to the American people. Speaking for the
Speaker 19: controllers there, but he says, a president is not going
Speaker 19: to get wiggle room on this to make this stop
Speaker 19: and end right now if it means wiggle room with Democrats,
Speaker 19: and so I.
Speaker 29: Don't think you're going to see the president and negotiate
Speaker 29: here because he has nothing to give up.
Speaker 19: So the controllers are saying, yeah, okay, but they need
Speaker 19: to get a paycheck. PSA officers the same thing where
Speaker 19: they get paid a lot less average around twenty four
Speaker 19: dollars an hour, where they're they're hurting and going to
Speaker 19: food banks too. So it's it's a tough spot for
Speaker 19: them to be in. But the air traffic controllers, they
Speaker 19: are now out at airports asking you to take the
Speaker 19: pamphlet telling you to call your congress person and email
Speaker 19: them to make the point that they want this thing
Speaker 19: to be over.
Speaker 2: You would you would think there'd be some kind of
Speaker 2: emergency funding available for this, wouldn't you, guys?
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know where that would come from, but.
Speaker 19: Remembers of Congress. Yeah, Congress is getting paid. The FBI
Speaker 19: agents are getting paid, but air traffic controllers and TSA
Speaker 19: officers they are not all right with that.
Speaker 1: Alex, I'm sorry right now. I was just gonna say,
Speaker 1: until you know, something gets passed, which will never happen,
Speaker 1: that you know, if a government shut down happens, then
Speaker 1: folks in Congress don't get paid. I mean, that'll expedite
Speaker 1: process until that happens, and it ain't ever gonna be
Speaker 1: solved out thing.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean, they're getting a paycheck. And then that's
Speaker 19: kind of where the air traffic controllers come down, where
Speaker 19: they say that the people who can make the difference,
Speaker 19: they don't feel like they're really feeling it right now
Speaker 19: compared the working man and woman who is showing up
Speaker 19: every day. And in the case of the TSA, they
Speaker 19: got to be in uniform and look presentable and all
Speaker 19: of that. And the air traffic controllers are highly trained
Speaker 19: and they went to the academy. There's an air traffic
Speaker 19: control academy. They got through that. They deal with a
Speaker 19: lot of stress every day and they are considered vital.
Speaker 19: I mean they are very vital to what all of
Speaker 19: us do when we travel, and right now they're not
Speaker 19: getting any paychecks.
Speaker 2: All right with that, Alex, we will let you go, buddy,
Speaker 2: Thanks so much. You got a paces our good friend
Speaker 2: Alex Stone from ABC Rock in other news, and that's
Speaker 2: cool that you've been traveling. Have would run into that
Speaker 2: type of thing. But we'll see how it all develops.
Speaker 1: In other news.
Speaker 2: This is kind of like a nightmare. With all the
Speaker 2: stuff that goes on with social media these days, you
Speaker 2: can get caught up in something like this. Megan Davis
Speaker 2: is a college student down in Texas, doesn't say what town.
Speaker 2: She is not a server at Olive Garden in Saint Louis,
Speaker 2: and she didn't get arrested for assault after throwing a
Speaker 2: basket of breadsticks at a customer, But her life has
Speaker 2: been turned upside down since a Facebook account called pure
Speaker 2: Videos I guess they have on their own page, posted
Speaker 2: a real mugshot of Megan Davis and claimed she had
Speaker 2: retaliated for a bad tip by tossing the breadsticks at
Speaker 2: a diner there. Says she is probably like my worst
Speaker 2: nightmare coming to reality. She admitted that the mugshot was
Speaker 2: real and that came from a night in August, soon
Speaker 2: after her mother died, when she was arrested for public intoxication.
Speaker 2: But this post has garnered harassment and creepy comments from
Speaker 2: all around the country. People are disgusting out there, she said,
Speaker 2: and scary, like, how do I even fix this? So
Speaker 2: can you imagine if like something like that got posted
Speaker 2: on you and people jumped all over it without bothering
Speaker 2: to see if it was really you or not.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, boom, and everybody has their opinion. They see
Speaker 1: a video there's no context, and they're ripping you to shreds,
Speaker 1: and you're like, it's not even me, not even one
Speaker 1: that did it right, And that's that's a cruel place.
Speaker 1: That's the Uh, that's the thing.
Speaker 22: You can't.
Speaker 2: You can't defend yourself in the open form like that, right, No, because.
Speaker 1: There's I mean, you know, thousands, if not hundreds of
Speaker 1: thousands of people that can jump onto this thing. And
Speaker 1: I guess over time you can it sorts itself out.
Speaker 1: But that's the thing about the Internet. It's it's what's
Speaker 1: the the saying with it. It's not it is important
Speaker 1: anymore to be accurate. It's important to be first. So
Speaker 1: if you can be the one to you know, break
Speaker 1: some story about some horrible lady that's not even her,
Speaker 1: and everyone jumps on it. That's that's what matters.
Speaker 2: In other news, you gotta watch what your kids do.
Speaker 2: Your kids shove I'm sure not the older ones anymore.
Speaker 2: But does the little guy shove anything in his mouth
Speaker 2: and swallow it?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're past that. He's five, So we're past the
Speaker 1: shoving weird things in your nose, your mouth, your ears faced.
Speaker 2: Thankfully, this happened with a thirteen year old in New
Speaker 2: Zealand recently swallowed nearly two hundred high powered magnets.
Speaker 1: What uh he thought?
Speaker 2: I don't know again talking about stuff you pick up online.
Speaker 2: Apparently he had seen somewhere online that if you ate
Speaker 2: a magnet, it would help you. So if you eat
Speaker 2: one magnet, why not eat two hundred.
Speaker 1: If one is good, two hundred must be better. We
Speaker 1: live by that philosophy at.
Speaker 2: So you'll be freaking superman. Surprisingly, he didn't get the
Speaker 2: health supplement that he was looking for. He needed some
Speaker 2: of his bowels extracted.
Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah, you're that's gonna take a little surgery.
Speaker 2: The doctors at the local hospital there had to go
Speaker 2: on a scavenger hunt and the kid's belly, discovering four
Speaker 2: separate linear chains of metal objects once inside. Uh these magnets,
Speaker 2: which are I guess marketed is I guess like you
Speaker 2: may string them together or something, and it says they're
Speaker 2: marketed as toys. They obviously would attach to each other.
Speaker 2: They U da da da da Dad. They clogged up
Speaker 2: his bowels. The legal experts are now pointing out the
Speaker 2: alarming difficulty of enforcing a domestic safety band when overseas
Speaker 2: retailers operate without restraint. So these kids or you know,
Speaker 2: parents are ordering stuff online, which we've talked about before.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, this stuff can only be police
Speaker 1: so so well, so the kid goes on and cool,
Speaker 1: I want to get some of these little magnets to
Speaker 1: play with. Mom, okay, cool whatever, Yeah, cool, pluck yourself out.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, and then he eats them. We probably saw
Speaker 1: some video and then that had another video that's saying
Speaker 1: it was good for you or it did something cool,
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's just these kids are just surrounded by
Speaker 1: this stuff at a lot of so much information and
Speaker 1: a lot of it that's frankly not true.
Speaker 2: Uh So let me ask you, because Jason Knight and
Speaker 2: the Vega before we get out of here. We've only
Speaker 2: got a little bit of time.
Speaker 1: What uh.
Speaker 2: We are your kids in Halloween? Because where you live,
Speaker 2: you don't you won't get any trigger treats. No, no, okay,
Speaker 2: So when your kids go out, I would assume you're
Speaker 2: going to take them to a neighborhood or something. We
Speaker 2: used to do that sometime with our kids because of
Speaker 2: what the house was. There was there was like a
Speaker 2: house next to us in a house at the end
Speaker 2: of our driveway, and then there was a neighborhood across
Speaker 2: the road, so we had to take them around to
Speaker 2: a neighborhood and turn them loose. Now, when you were
Speaker 2: a kid, what did you do?
Speaker 1: Yeah, a bunch of different things. I remember we'd go
Speaker 1: to my grandma's she lived over on Deal Road, which
Speaker 1: is off the North Bend, and there was a lot
Speaker 1: of houses. I mean, that's what you're looking for, a
Speaker 1: lot of houses in a small space, right that where
Speaker 1: you can just really increase your your your profits there.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we did that. I've all every house I've
Speaker 1: ever lived in, I mean growing up and of course
Speaker 1: now has always been like down a long driveway. No
Speaker 1: neighbors know nothing, so I've never I can honestly say,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I ever had any trigger treaters
Speaker 1: come to my house. I guess maybe when I lived
Speaker 1: in I lived in Nashville, I had a house that
Speaker 1: was in a neighborhood, and you know, a couple of
Speaker 1: neighborhood kids would come by, but other or not, that's it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, keeping my go buy extra a candy this year,
Speaker 2: just like Tanya Rourke was talking yesterday, she's buying like
Speaker 2: two hundred dollars worth of candy. Apparently with that, we
Speaker 2: check in with traffic and weather, what is going on
