of the seven PM soon to be late news co
anchor as well, Rodney done again, thank.
Speaker 3 (00:27):

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Oh man, this is great. I'm I'm so happy. Station
was like, hey, do you want me to see if
Rodney will come in. I'm like, yeah, that would be fantastic.
I love it because, like I was telling her, I'm like, yeah,
I think one time when you did the show with
me before Rodney, it was Josh, I think you were
off and I think Rodney kind of came in and
hung out for a little while. It was one of
the times where he was on vacation or whatever. But
(00:53):
it's been a little while.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Yes, yes, it's so.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Glad to be back.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Different. I think at the time I was assistant news director.
So now I'm getting back and anchorchair, getting back with
the people out reporting so I'm definitely happy about this switch,
no doubt.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Is that my boss for the last two years, Yeah,
that's when.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
You were boss. Yeah, so are you.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I mean, I know it might be like going which
kids your favorite, you know, with regard if you have
multiple kids, But with regard to this business, I.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
Mean we always kind of we know what we really.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Like as far as you know, different types of things
you can do within media, but I mean in front
of the camera, it's got to be something that you know,
and clearly it must be since that's where you're going
to end up now.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Oh, no doubt.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
And I enjoyed and I enjoyed just getting out and
meeting the people and really making an impact. I think
I've been doing that behind the scenes, but I think
I'll be able to do a bit more of that
sitting next to Stasia and you know, doing meaningful stories
of impact across the community. And that's you know, really
my passion, you know, and I think that's what we do,
is we serve the community. I do that a lot
through you know, charity events, but I would love to
(01:57):
do that, you know, on a daily basis through my work.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
So I think this will allow me the opportunity to
do that.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
So you've been so he's.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Been with you at seven. This starting in a while.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, it just started on Monday that we're anchoring together
at seven. And then when Bob retires at the end
of November, then Rodney will take over the ten and
eleven o'clock news. Yes, so we'll be anchoring together seven,
ten and eleven. I guess starting in December.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I guess, no, December, so a few months.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
This gives us a good time to kind of build
our chemistry together and to kind of let Bob go
out on a high note. Obviously, he's well known in
this community. Folks love him, so this is a great
way for him to kind of ride off into the
sunset and kind of introduce me onto the show if
you will.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Well, we're so fortunate that we've been friends this whole
time anyway, because Rodney got here to the community right
after I got here. So and then we have kids
that are about the same age, and so our families
are friends and it works out great for us. It's like,
I mean it, really, this week has just been so
fun because it just means we get to hang out more.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
You don't want to sit next to him because this
is getting a little old, having to sit in the
same room with him Monday through Friday.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
I mean, you and you do both.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Do you think you could pull both off so I
could just put my feet up and relax.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
He's looking at you like, sure, Yeah, I got a
couple of.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Minutes sleep exactly, and that's all. It would be a
couple of minutes. Trust me.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
Well at this point too, I mean you have two
little ones.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Two little ones.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
I have a five year old who just started kindergarten yesterday,
so she's very happy, believe it or not. I mean
no tears, she you know, went with the flow. And
then I have a three year old little boy who's
in preschool, and trust me, he is a handful.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I don't know, terrible twos. I'm telling you, the tyrannical
threes are the worst.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Right, he is a three major tyrannical threes. I like that.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yeah, yeah, the terrible threes or that not the terrorist
twos or whatever. Whatever. I said. It was smart the
first time.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
I'm gonna let it go now.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
But so first eight kindergarten already all someone else had
in their first hand in kindergarten.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh my goodness, Johnny did so good.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
He is just.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Enamored with riding the school bus. It's the greatest thing
to ever happen to his life. And every single day
he just marches onto that bus ready to conquer the world.
Something about that school bus makes him feel like a
million bucks. It's so fun. It's very fun.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Well, and you said, no tears with your daughter, Rodney,
but I don't. It's like in that situation when that
doesn't happen. I mean, were you walking away after their
tears going Christmas?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Ohli me?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
I said, I said, Alexandra, you know, can I get
a hug, you know, a kiss? And she literally kind
of gave me the hand like no, I'm trying to
go and meet some more friends and kind.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Of walked off. Oh oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
No.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
She had on her little pink dress and her pink
boots and she was filling herself and Dad was no more.
So I can only imagine when she turned sixteen, if
she's acting like that when she's saw.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Oh my gosh, I don't know. I don't know how
I would deal with that, like really nothing. And then
when I try to get that, you're like, no, step back.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
I remind yeah, right, but then remind her when she's
sixteen and asked for a car and for you to
pay for the insurance.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Well, wait a minute, I remember your first day kindergarten, sweetie.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
No hug, no kiss, no nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, I believe the it was kind of an abbreviated
talk to the hand. Then, So now that's what I'm
gonna tell you with regard to a vehicle and some insurance,
we talk to the hand.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
She's such a cutie.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
She looked ready for the.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Day, and the pictures that you guys posted, it was
just so it's so fun. It's so fun, and I
feel like our kids have grown up together in that way.
We always get together for birthdays and things like that.
And so we're gonna have these pictures of the two,
well all of them, the three of.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Them actually growing up. It's really sweet.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Rodney's wife Jackie was on of course.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I don't know how she was there a long time
years yeah, okay, yeah, And so I was just asking
you off camera, I'm like, does she missy, because you
know she she's just doing something different now and it's
just like it's an adjustment.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Sure, she's an AEP now with a corporate communications team,
and she enjoys it. She misses television from time to time,
but it's different going from that run and gun of
what we do every day to that corporate life that
can be just a bit slower.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Sometimes.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
She's a Swiss Army knife there too.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
She's behind the desk, she's out reporting, she's doing everything,
so which is kind of I mean, I see you
doing that too. It's like it's almost like that's kind
of a it's kind of a thing you you're expected
to do. It seems like in that business, especially now
more than ever, it's like got to take one hat
off and put a.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Different hat on.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
So today Rodney is actually producing our seven o'clock news
tonight in addition to everything else he has going on today.
So you want to talk about the Swiss Army knife.
This is like the ultimate utility player sitting right here.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Yeah, but I'll tell you one thing. It makes the
DG go by faster. Yeah, you can't complain.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
But you know what, Also, I think that helps like
being in the business as long as I've been in
as far as radio, and Josh has been in a
while too. But when you do different because I've literally
worked every shift around the clock, right yeah, and I've
worked all kinds of different genres as far as music,
radio now of course talk and you know, uh sports,
you know in Cincinnati, and I mean to do all
(07:14):
of that that helps you. I mean, that really makes
you well rounded and makes you more attractive down the
line if you know, you decide.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
To you know, move on or whatever. So definitely that
definitely helps.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
It also makes you a better teammate that understand the
pressures of of what's going on in the editing team,
because that's how I came up with editing years ago.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
I started here as a newsroom intern, then got hired
as a part time board operator, then a full time
well not full time, but basically I was, you know,
doing board opping, and then I get to be morning
show producer for Bob Connors. I did that for a
few years, became like the executive producer helping my my
program director, then became afternoon show producer, and then evolved
(07:57):
into what this has done. So I mean, there's no
level of the business. I like, at least you know,
technical behind and touched it all. Yeah, touched all. But
you're right, I have sympathy and empathy for people in
the building because like, yeah, I've been there, I know that,
Like I, Once you've been in there, done that, you
(08:17):
have a bigger like appreciation for man like you deserve
all the praise you can get.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
You have an appreciation.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
And then you can also say no excuses, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
No, I think that's really true. And I think it
also gives you an opportunity to see that. It took
years for me to reach the evening anchor chair, and
I saw a lot of folks come before me in
different places, different stations, and I saw a lot of
people really do it right, and I saw a lot
of people who really were not kind to people. And
I'm like, Okay, there's something valuable in watching somebody and saying, Okay,
(08:53):
that's not how I want to do it. If I
ever get the chance to have a role like that
in a newsroom, I think you can.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
You can see people doing it well, and you.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Can see people doing it incorrectly or in a way
that you don't want to emulate. And I think that's
important too.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, And it's also seems like no matter what you
I feel like there's always going to be somebody who's
always like, you know about how you're going. I what, like,
I'm that that can't be what they're they're talking about,
you know what I mean. So and sometimes you want
to go all right, Dan, I'm dropping the gloves.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Let that go. Well.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I feel like we have a newsroom that isn't like that,
which I think is we're really fortunate. There's there's not
a lot of like, oh this you know, did you hear?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
We have a really good vibe together as a work family,
a work team that you don't have to like everybody,
but hey, we're here working together. We have a goal
every single day to tell the stories of the community.
And I'm really grateful that that's our vibe and not
so Caddy. Yeah, because there are definitely newsrooms out there
like that.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
And I think it's about respect. I think we all
respect each other appreciate what we do each and every day,
So I think that's always a benefit.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah, it's fun. It comes across.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
The fun really comes across, especially with you guys and
Marshall gets involved in It's seriously, it's.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Really fun to watch.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It really is, and you know, getting to know Marshall
these last six years i've been here, you know, because
he's on with us. He does three hits a day
with US Live, and it's just like, uh, it's just
you can you can feel how like how that fun
that is when you're watching and it comes across so.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Smart, and we love to kind of give him the
business about him explaining someone like the moon.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
The supermoon, the super blue green sturgeon, the supermoon. Yeah,
whatever it was.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
I think yesterday did I brought it?
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Yeah, because Wednesday night was the night of it.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Like listening to Marshall explain why it's so special this week,
I was kind of like, wow, you know, thank you
for that. But I there's no way I was able
to repeat what he just said.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
So we'd like to give him.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
The business because he's so smart and he is so
excited about the weather and about what's going on in
the community. It is melding those two together.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
It just comes across.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I told you when when it's implement weather and you
guys go to wall to wall and he's on there
and it is fascinating to watch. I'll text him and
be like, dude, that was unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
What you guys are doing and the time.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I mean it's there is nobody better in that situation
than him. I mean, he is breaking down to Layman's terms.
You understand, he's.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
So good, crazy, it's so important in those moments.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Very lucky is what I'm trying to tell the audience.
We're so lucky we have him in this market.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
He's also my personal liquor wizard. His ability to put
together cocktails and he will, time to time just text
me a recipe. I've seen his basement like he sent
me literally hundreds. He has a computerized he's got to
computerize in inventory of everything in his basement.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
But he knows.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
He takes classes. He's learning more about mixology.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
On the weekends, that's what he will do because this
man is he is here to learn.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
This is a this is something new I'm learning.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I never knew that because the only thing I'm mixing
is jack and coke.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
That's that's my extension.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
That's okay, Marshall, keep it simply. Yeah, keeping it simple
like that is uh is definitely. And you know what,
I've never been in a bar Rodney where you go,
I like a Jackie coke, and they're like, we don't
have Jack Daniels here.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Exactly, never can real fast.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
And I would tell this story. There was a bartender
they hired at my watering hole Spoons up and up
By in Dublin, and they hired this new girl who
said that you know, she had this experience blah blah blah.
Somebody ordered a jack and coke and she asked the customer,
what's in a jack and cone?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I've never been a bartender.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
She was like a twenty three year old chick.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Just she's smoking hot.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Just say it, because those are the only people who
get away.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Worth coming back with what's in it?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Jack and cokeh Man, Because I'm telling you, if she's
anything short of a twelve, there's no.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
Way she's staying.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
There was a smoke show, for sure, but with care.
I'm happily married for fifteen years, three wonderful truck.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
No one's accusing you of trying.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I mean, I'll take a gander.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Brought it up.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I don't care about I don't care about how hot
the bartender is. I care about how fast and confident
the bartender is.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
You lie, Hey, I do want to bring this up
because it is breaking a little bit ago. And you know,
we're gonna stay right on top of this, but Josh,
if you would like you were watching it in the
other one.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
That's why I got in here a little late.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
Kind of crazy.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
There's an Arizona man that is there is now a
man hunt for him. FBI is involved, Arizona State Police, everywhere,
their sheriff's apartment. They're looking for this guy. They sniffed
him out on Facebook. He threat he knew Trump was
coming to Arizona today. He threats, made this credible threat
to kill him. This guy's got a history. They know,
(14:14):
he's very well armed, and uh, yeah, it's this is
a it's a serious no situation where they're he's six
years old, sixty six. He's the Rodney something or another.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I believe Wait, are you sure it's Rodney because we
just yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Thought I thought I hurt Randy Randall. Maybe it's Randall. Yeah,
but either way, this guy is uh, they're taking him
dead to write seriously, and so after everything that we've seen,
you know, over the summer, they're they're taking this to
the ultimate degree of security now and they are in
(14:54):
an absolute man hunt for this fellow yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
With the threat like that, that's all it takes and
they can take right with the threat. So right, okay,
So yeah, Ronald Zach was just in our ear. Ronald
he has zarchitect like, his name is Ronald, he has
a DUI, and he is a registered sex offender. So
(15:16):
there's those three things that we know about him, that
Zach attack.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Thank you for that.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
So yeah, they're in a they're in a hunt for
this guy who's threatened to kill President Trump. By the way,
he's Trump. Is there live in Coachies County, Arizona. He
is live right now outside. But it's almost like an
it kind of an enclosed it's it's.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
It's at a border wall area that's kind of in
a canyon. So unless this guy can hit anybody from
a mountain six miles away, good luck.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Right, So it's it looks like it's relatively kind of yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Yeah, they said it is extremely tight.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
No one's getting in or out travicking.
Speaker 4 (15:54):

I'm gonna let it go now.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
But so first eight kindergarten already all someone else had
in their first hand in kindergarten.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh my goodness, Johnny did so good.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
He is just.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Enamored with riding the school bus. It's the greatest thing
to ever happen to his life. And every single day
he just marches onto that bus ready to conquer the world.
Something about that school bus makes him feel like a
million bucks. It's so fun. It's very fun.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Well, and you said, no tears with your daughter, Rodney,
but I don't. It's like in that situation when that
doesn't happen. I mean, were you walking away after their
tears going Christmas?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Ohli me?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
I said, I said, Alexandra, you know, can I get
a hug, you know, a kiss? And she literally kind
of gave me the hand like no, I'm trying to
go and meet some more friends and kind.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Of walked off. Oh oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
No.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
She had on her little pink dress and her pink
boots and she was filling herself and Dad was no more.
So I can only imagine when she turned sixteen, if
she's acting like that when she's saw.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Oh my gosh, I don't know. I don't know how
I would deal with that, like really nothing. And then
when I try to get that, you're like, no, step back.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
I remind yeah, right, but then remind her when she's
sixteen and asked for a car and for you to
pay for the insurance.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Well, wait a minute, I remember your first day kindergarten, sweetie.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
No hug, no kiss, no nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, I believe the it was kind of an abbreviated
talk to the hand. Then, So now that's what I'm
gonna tell you with regard to a vehicle and some insurance,
we talk to the hand.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
She's such a cutie.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
She looked ready for the.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Day, and the pictures that you guys posted, it was
just so it's so fun. It's so fun, and I
feel like our kids have grown up together in that way.
We always get together for birthdays and things like that.
And so we're gonna have these pictures of the two,
well all of them, the three of.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Them actually growing up. It's really sweet.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Rodney's wife Jackie was on of course.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I don't know how she was there a long time
years yeah, okay, yeah, And so I was just asking
you off camera, I'm like, does she missy, because you
know she she's just doing something different now and it's
just like it's an adjustment.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Sure, she's an AEP now with a corporate communications team,
and she enjoys it. She misses television from time to time,
but it's different going from that run and gun of
what we do every day to that corporate life that
can be just a bit slower.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Sometimes.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
She's a Swiss Army knife there too.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
She's behind the desk, she's out reporting, she's doing everything,
so which is kind of I mean, I see you
doing that too. It's like it's almost like that's kind
of a it's kind of a thing you you're expected
to do. It seems like in that business, especially now
more than ever, it's like got to take one hat
off and put a.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Different hat on.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
So today Rodney is actually producing our seven o'clock news
tonight in addition to everything else he has going on today.
So you want to talk about the Swiss Army knife.
This is like the ultimate utility player sitting right here.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Yeah, but I'll tell you one thing. It makes the
DG go by faster. Yeah, you can't complain.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
But you know what, Also, I think that helps like
being in the business as long as I've been in
as far as radio, and Josh has been in a
while too. But when you do different because I've literally
worked every shift around the clock, right yeah, and I've
worked all kinds of different genres as far as music,
radio now of course talk and you know, uh sports,
you know in Cincinnati, and I mean to do all
(07:14):
of that that helps you. I mean, that really makes
you well rounded and makes you more attractive down the
line if you know, you decide.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
To you know, move on or whatever. So definitely that
definitely helps.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
It also makes you a better teammate that understand the
pressures of of what's going on in the editing team,
because that's how I came up with editing years ago.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
I started here as a newsroom intern, then got hired
as a part time board operator, then a full time
well not full time, but basically I was, you know,
doing board opping, and then I get to be morning
show producer for Bob Connors. I did that for a
few years, became like the executive producer helping my my
program director, then became afternoon show producer, and then evolved
(07:57):
into what this has done. So I mean, there's no
level of the business. I like, at least you know,
technical behind and touched it all. Yeah, touched all. But
you're right, I have sympathy and empathy for people in
the building because like, yeah, I've been there, I know that,
Like I, Once you've been in there, done that, you
(08:17):
have a bigger like appreciation for man like you deserve
all the praise you can get.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
You have an appreciation.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
And then you can also say no excuses, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
No, I think that's really true. And I think it
also gives you an opportunity to see that. It took
years for me to reach the evening anchor chair, and
I saw a lot of folks come before me in
different places, different stations, and I saw a lot of
people really do it right, and I saw a lot
of people who really were not kind to people. And
I'm like, Okay, there's something valuable in watching somebody and saying, Okay,
(08:53):
that's not how I want to do it. If I
ever get the chance to have a role like that
in a newsroom, I think you can.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
You can see people doing it well, and you.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Can see people doing it incorrectly or in a way
that you don't want to emulate. And I think that's
important too.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, And it's also seems like no matter what you
I feel like there's always going to be somebody who's
always like, you know about how you're going. I what, like,
I'm that that can't be what they're they're talking about,
you know what I mean. So and sometimes you want
to go all right, Dan, I'm dropping the gloves.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Let that go. Well.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I feel like we have a newsroom that isn't like that,
which I think is we're really fortunate. There's there's not
a lot of like, oh this you know, did you hear?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
We have a really good vibe together as a work family,
a work team that you don't have to like everybody,
but hey, we're here working together. We have a goal
every single day to tell the stories of the community.
And I'm really grateful that that's our vibe and not
so Caddy. Yeah, because there are definitely newsrooms out there
like that.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
And I think it's about respect. I think we all
respect each other appreciate what we do each and every day,
So I think that's always a benefit.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah, it's fun. It comes across.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
The fun really comes across, especially with you guys and
Marshall gets involved in It's seriously, it's.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Really fun to watch.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It really is, and you know, getting to know Marshall
these last six years i've been here, you know, because
he's on with us. He does three hits a day
with US Live, and it's just like, uh, it's just
you can you can feel how like how that fun
that is when you're watching and it comes across so.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Smart, and we love to kind of give him the
business about him explaining someone like the moon.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
The supermoon, the super blue green sturgeon, the supermoon. Yeah,
whatever it was.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
I think yesterday did I brought it?
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Yeah, because Wednesday night was the night of it.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Like listening to Marshall explain why it's so special this week,
I was kind of like, wow, you know, thank you
for that. But I there's no way I was able
to repeat what he just said.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
So we'd like to give him.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
The business because he's so smart and he is so
excited about the weather and about what's going on in
the community. It is melding those two together.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
It just comes across.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I told you when when it's implement weather and you
guys go to wall to wall and he's on there
and it is fascinating to watch. I'll text him and
be like, dude, that was unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
What you guys are doing and the time.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I mean it's there is nobody better in that situation
than him. I mean, he is breaking down to Layman's terms.
You understand, he's.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
So good, crazy, it's so important in those moments.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Very lucky is what I'm trying to tell the audience.
We're so lucky we have him in this market.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
He's also my personal liquor wizard. His ability to put
together cocktails and he will, time to time just text
me a recipe. I've seen his basement like he sent
me literally hundreds. He has a computerized he's got to
computerize in inventory of everything in his basement.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
But he knows.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
He takes classes. He's learning more about mixology.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
On the weekends, that's what he will do because this
man is he is here to learn.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
This is a this is something new I'm learning.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I never knew that because the only thing I'm mixing
is jack and coke.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
That's that's my extension.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
That's okay, Marshall, keep it simply. Yeah, keeping it simple
like that is uh is definitely. And you know what,
I've never been in a bar Rodney where you go,
I like a Jackie coke, and they're like, we don't
have Jack Daniels here.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Exactly, never can real fast.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
And I would tell this story. There was a bartender
they hired at my watering hole Spoons up and up
By in Dublin, and they hired this new girl who
said that you know, she had this experience blah blah blah.
Somebody ordered a jack and coke and she asked the customer,
what's in a jack and cone?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I've never been a bartender.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
She was like a twenty three year old chick.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Just she's smoking hot.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Just say it, because those are the only people who
get away.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Worth coming back with what's in it?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Jack and cokeh Man, Because I'm telling you, if she's
anything short of a twelve, there's no.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
Way she's staying.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
There was a smoke show, for sure, but with care.
I'm happily married for fifteen years, three wonderful truck.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
No one's accusing you of trying.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I mean, I'll take a gander.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Brought it up.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I don't care about I don't care about how hot
the bartender is. I care about how fast and confident
the bartender is.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
You lie, Hey, I do want to bring this up
because it is breaking a little bit ago. And you know,
we're gonna stay right on top of this, but Josh,
if you would like you were watching it in the
other one.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
That's why I got in here a little late.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
Kind of crazy.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
There's an Arizona man that is there is now a
man hunt for him. FBI is involved, Arizona State Police, everywhere,
their sheriff's apartment. They're looking for this guy. They sniffed
him out on Facebook. He threat he knew Trump was
coming to Arizona today. He threats, made this credible threat
to kill him. This guy's got a history. They know,
(14:14):
he's very well armed, and uh, yeah, it's this is
a it's a serious no situation where they're he's six
years old, sixty six. He's the Rodney something or another.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I believe Wait, are you sure it's Rodney because we
just yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Thought I thought I hurt Randy Randall. Maybe it's Randall. Yeah,
but either way, this guy is uh, they're taking him
dead to write seriously, and so after everything that we've seen,
you know, over the summer, they're they're taking this to
the ultimate degree of security now and they are in
(14:54):
an absolute man hunt for this fellow yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
With the threat like that, that's all it takes and
they can take right with the threat. So right, okay,
So yeah, Ronald Zach was just in our ear. Ronald
he has zarchitect like, his name is Ronald, he has
a DUI, and he is a registered sex offender. So
(15:16):
there's those three things that we know about him, that
Zach attack.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Thank you for that.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
So yeah, they're in a they're in a hunt for
this guy who's threatened to kill President Trump. By the way,
he's Trump. Is there live in Coachies County, Arizona. He
is live right now outside. But it's almost like an
it kind of an enclosed it's it's.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
It's at a border wall area that's kind of in
a canyon. So unless this guy can hit anybody from
a mountain six miles away, good luck.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Right, So it's it looks like it's relatively kind of yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Yeah, they said it is extremely tight.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
No one's getting in or out travicking.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
