[SPEAKER_05]: We have today.

[SPEAKER_07]: It's the Michael Marasho with Michael Marasho and Rob Spuac.

[SPEAKER_07]: Now here's Mike.

[SPEAKER_03]: No-to-Broadcasters always turn your microphone on.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's always really, really important when you're going to do a show to turn this thing on.

[SPEAKER_02]: Is that a turn this thing on?

[SPEAKER_02]: Is that your textbook that you're selling?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes it is.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm checking my sound.

[SPEAKER_03]: Let me try the jingle here.

[SPEAKER_03]: See you there.

[SPEAKER_03]: It is every life.

[SPEAKER_02]: Woo!

[SPEAKER_03]: My golden bear is shining.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, jingles, is there anything better than radio jingles, Rob's view?

[SPEAKER_02]: Can you imagine me as a 10-year-old with a cassette deck trying to tape them off the radio?

[SPEAKER_03]: Unbelievable.

[SPEAKER_03]: First time I ever played a jingle on the radio was probably the greatest moment for me knowing, hey, I'm doing it.

[SPEAKER_03]: And do you remember what it was?

[SPEAKER_03]: because it was uh... it was w o h and in her name which was my first commercial station great powerhouse and i don't know if they even had them you know i just worry about your first jingle with your name in it uh... that was probably at uh... w a v a and can i probably a w a v a bring up what may or may not be a sore point

[SPEAKER_02]: is the fact that for years and years your name was mispronounced in all the WAAV agent goals.

[SPEAKER_03]: Don Jaronimo and Michael Mera and the list, they say aye.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, I engineer there was no a aye back then.

[SPEAKER_03]: We didn't even have cell phones back then.

[SPEAKER_02]: I was actually able to listen in on the session and like you know here when they were recording the second batch of jingles for the show.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_02]: And they put like punch me into the phone line.

[SPEAKER_02]: I wish I'd recorded it because they did a gag.

[SPEAKER_02]: First, I did correct the pronunciation of your name and they re-zang it.

[SPEAKER_02]: But they did a gag when they got to my name.

[SPEAKER_02]: They sang it entirely out of key.

[SPEAKER_02]: Just as a joke, and it was hilarious.

[SPEAKER_03]: But I want to get an update, Rob Spuak, who sounds better today than he did yesterday.

[SPEAKER_03]: And he sounded pretty good today.

[SPEAKER_03]: I believe that I have to give Rob Spuak the nod in recovery.

[SPEAKER_03]: over my son who is now on his third fourth of the Tuesday and Wednesday and third day of not going to school because he's a he's just dragged he's not pushed out of the woods.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well he had a physically yesterday for his golf team and they combined it with the

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, the wellness check on the other stuff he's dealing with and he has been, you know, he has been fever free, but unfortunately he's just, you know, he doesn't fake it.

[SPEAKER_03]: He really doesn't fake it.

[SPEAKER_03]: He wants to be up and running and he was just, uh, achy had to run out and get him Tylenol and that sad.

[SPEAKER_03]: As I wrote down, I am not a good caregiver, especially when he can kill me.

[SPEAKER_03]: that's uh... you know that's uh... because you're worried of his disease i have been living in uh... just a very understated uh... state of uh... you know concern over my own uh... situation because i am in that i have to be your own advocate yeah i and by the way uh... i printed this out today uh... florida is aiming to become the first u.s state to cancel all of its vaccine

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I also heard my little stream there.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, that guy is, you know.

[SPEAKER_02]: Governor disant is also trying to push something through legislation.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's making it a legal look both ways before you cross the street.

[SPEAKER_03]: What they're doing, it is a steady Florida procedure than the herd.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: They're trying to thin the herd.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, for years, didn't you Florida and to do that on your own?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we did.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think you are. [SPEAKER_12]: I'm home for it's to scare the New Yorkers away. [SPEAKER_12]: Don't even come down here anymore. [SPEAKER_03]: That's I know what spoken like a true Floridian that would say I remember coming down here years and years and years ago going into a diner having breakfast and the lazy excuse me the wait just had a little tiny little comms you could sorry I think I got the northern vapors talking about the people from the north that come wow what a dick. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, it was a lady. [SPEAKER_03]: It's kind of weird. [SPEAKER_03]: A lady a dick. [SPEAKER_02]: Now, a lady could be a dick. [SPEAKER_02]: It's like that. [SPEAKER_03]: Let me finish here, so it says Florida, Amy become the first U.S. [SPEAKER_03]: state to cancel all of its vaccine mandates, many of which require children to get jabs against disease like polio. [SPEAKER_03]: Remember polio. [SPEAKER_02]: I can't believe the fact. [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I beat it and I'm glad I did. [SPEAKER_03]: But yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I was eliminated it. [SPEAKER_03]: It was great, though, with, you know, with your schoolmates when they would have you in the backyard running until your braces fell off. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, we're going to see Rob's to see Spax fever. [SPEAKER_03]: That's right. [SPEAKER_03]: That's right. [SPEAKER_02]: I also don't forget, Mike, all of the Rob mob collecting dimes. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, for you. [SPEAKER_03]: These diseases, like polio, were required in order to attend public schools. [SPEAKER_03]: These states top health official, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Labubu. [SPEAKER_03]: That's not his name. [SPEAKER_03]: It's Ladapo. [SPEAKER_03]: Ladapo. [SPEAKER_02]: Are you sure he doesn't have a middle name that's like, yeah? [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Billy. [SPEAKER_03]: Joe. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's his middle name. [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_03]: He likened the mandates to slavery. [SPEAKER_03]: And I believe he is an African-Americans. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes. [SPEAKER_03]: He announced the plants. [SPEAKER_03]: His, here's just quote, who am I to tell you what your child should put in your body? [SPEAKER_03]: He said, I don't have that right. [SPEAKER_03]: Your body is a gift from God. [SPEAKER_03]: Florida officials did not give a timeline or detail on ending the mandates. [SPEAKER_03]: Several may only be repealed through a vote by the Republican lit legislator while others can be scrapped by the state health department. [SPEAKER_02]: But let me tell you this to Billy Joe before us or whatever his name is it's not just about what you're doing to yourself It's putting others at risk too. [SPEAKER_02]: That's why such a but yeah, that doesn't matter down here. [SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't I understand I understand I don't care for that by the way. [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think that's smart legislation [SPEAKER_03]: So the big question, when my son went to his doctor's appointment yesterday, my, you know, thinking of his welfare, but he's young and they don't get it as bad as adults do. [SPEAKER_03]: And I said to my wife, when you have the doctor, ask [SPEAKER_03]: the amount of time, you know, this thing is floating around. [SPEAKER_03]: And of course, nobody knows the definitive answer to that one. [SPEAKER_03]: Apparently. [SPEAKER_03]: That's one that nobody really knows what the deal is way. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, so Tuesday for me was day five. [SPEAKER_02]: And. [SPEAKER_02]: it was a big day for me out you heard how i sounded when i woke up that day because i put that video to you guys but the next day it was i won't say the the flip of a switch but it was pretty sudden the way my voice came back and became more alive i was i mean i'm i'm i'm i'm i did not i would not have been totally surprised if you weren't here this week that's how i thought you were you were heading tall is preparing [SPEAKER_03]: Did you get a headache at all? [SPEAKER_03]: Did you get a like a real heavy do you had it? [SPEAKER_03]: I've had a headache since Thursday. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, because he's got, that's what my son's got. [SPEAKER_03]: He's got a headache. [SPEAKER_02]: It's not like a hold your head and you know cry on the sofa. [SPEAKER_02]: But it's definitely there. [SPEAKER_02]: Now I've been taking Tylenol for that. [SPEAKER_03]: I saw a report that our good friends out in Northern California in the Sacramento area are going through a bit of a spike out there as well. [SPEAKER_03]: And you know, it's just, it's uncertain times. [SPEAKER_03]: I get [SPEAKER_03]: extraordinarily angry when I read about these vaccines and the challenges that somebody who wants to get one like me, I'm a big believer in them, I can't do it, and that's frustrating to me. [SPEAKER_03]: You know, even down here, there are states where if you're 65 and older, you can go in and your drugstore and get them, right, my state is not one of them as a matter of fact, my state is probably the hardest state to do this. [SPEAKER_03]: So the next step will be probably a phone call to my provider, who's a very cool guy who I've known from multiple years, and we'll see what happens if you've been to the COVID-19. [SPEAKER_03]: No, I don't want to buy that. [SPEAKER_03]: You know, they're saying, you get it. [SPEAKER_03]: If they're, if they're prohibited, you get them, what do they come off label? [SPEAKER_03]: I don't, I don't want that. [SPEAKER_03]: That's not, that's not how I buy my vaccines. [SPEAKER_03]: It's not how I buy my jewelry. [SPEAKER_02]: But I was wondering if you didn't even even check with Huggie Bear to see if he had one. [SPEAKER_03]: Go down to the bad section of town. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the bad section of vote for they sell the drugs. [SPEAKER_03]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know. [SPEAKER_03]: So to make matters worse, [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going yesterday, well, my sum was at the doctor, I decided I'd take part in a little more self-care and get my haircut, because why? [SPEAKER_03]: Why? [SPEAKER_03]: Went to see my body, Kevin, and by the way, if you want to use my barber, Kevin down here in Fort Myers, if Kevin happens to be sitting in the window of the barber shop when I arrive, he's very easy to spot, because his hair starts over here and it ends over here. [SPEAKER_03]: I believe the barber, with the most unkempt hair you would ever have, and he's become a buddy. [SPEAKER_03]: I like Kevin. [SPEAKER_02]: Is he the only barber in your shop? [SPEAKER_03]: No, no. [SPEAKER_02]: There's an old joke. [SPEAKER_02]: There's an old joke. [SPEAKER_02]: If you go into a barber shop with two barbers, go to the one with the bad haircut. [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. [SPEAKER_02]: Because that guy was cut by the other guy, so you want to go to the guy that has the bad haircut. [SPEAKER_03]: And if you're going to get a household project done, look for the old truck. [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_03]: Look for the old work truck and so here it is. [SPEAKER_03]: I go get my haircut and Kevin and I are having a really nice look. [SPEAKER_02]: Does it have a cute name or anything like SNPs? [SPEAKER_03]: No, it's Barbara crew [SPEAKER_03]: I'm getting a plug. [SPEAKER_03]: Barbara crew in Fort Myers. [SPEAKER_03]: They're easy to find. [SPEAKER_03]: They might be a chain. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not sure if they're franchise or not. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: The guy that owns the joint is a guy named Courtney and he's a and the thing is the girl's name.
