SPEAKER_01

Uh just a fast update for those that are uh bearing with us as we deal with this, our primary Scott Nally uh frequency, which is 106.1, which is wink 106, uh is we now have some powers that be that are responding to my texts. I'm not gonna lie, had to get a little bit Sy. I had to send out another message because I sent one at 540 and I had to send one right now. And I said, is anybody gonna respond to this?

SPEAKER_02

I get it. No one usually wakes up as early as we do. You should have just called. Should be when when I lived in Columbus, we had this one engineer, and he there was two things that would happen. You call him, he would be awake. He never sounded asleep. And I'm like, Mike, you awake? Yeah, I'm up awake. I've been uh building all sorts of stuff. It could be two o'clock in the morning and Mike's awake. That's dedication. But then on the at the same time, there was a phone line just for Mike that would come into our studio, and if you missed it, guess who's getting a new butthole?

SPEAKER_01

Mike was coming for you.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, not even just Mike, it would be the GM. Oh, the joke was he would the the GM would fire his own grandmother.

SPEAKER_01

Well, so that's a great joke. Yeah. Well, but you know what? I can respect that because you know, if Mike's gonna answer and it's two o'clock in the morning because you're having something on the Fritz, then the same should come back to you. You know, you should be responsible. That is an equal uh share of uh uh respect. I was kind of curious, why didn't you call? Um, because Ellie told me that nobody ever answers phones and they only want texts. Well, literally, you went through my head. I'm driving out of the driveway going, Ellie said never call, just text.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but if it's an emergency, then you call because I'm you're still gonna side button me.

SPEAKER_01

I'm likely I've called you during emergencies. You're like, I'm gonna try to do it.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, well, Scott, Scott thinks everything's an emergency. It's not. But if there is something that is like this, this is I equate to an emergency.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, so are you telling me I'm wrong? Is it now my fault? Is are you do I understand this correctly? Is you're spinning this to being my fault.

SPEAKER_02

How can we improve upon this situation?

SPEAKER_01

Well, okay, fine. You know what? I'll call everybody. I thought texting three people at once, two of which are engineers, one's an operations manager, somebody would have been like, okay.

SPEAKER_02

I don't hear texts all that often, but I'll hear a phone call. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So you can side button it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Because your things are not, they're not emergency.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, but if it's anybody else, it's an emergency. So what happens if I if I call you? I just don't understand correctly here, because of the rules of Alley, which always seem to drift a little bit like waves in the ocean.

SPEAKER_02

Why is any nothing I do is really an emergency.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, not really.

SPEAKER_02

Uh exactly.

SPEAKER_01

If I call, let's say it's a set emergency. Now, Doug, you heard it too. 3386. She wants me to call now, not text. I can't keep it straight. It's like, is it a rainy Thursday? Who knows what she wants? So you would now want me in an emergency to call, which you're gonna side button. If I call back instantaneously, are you gonna answer? No, you're not. No, you're not. You know what you're gonna do? You're gonna send me the text and go, uh, I'll call you in five minutes. That is seven hours later that call comes back.

SPEAKER_02

This has all legitimately happened. The only time that I am ever in an emergency that I would need to communicate with you is if I'm live on location and something isn't going right. Other than that, nothing I do in this building is important.

SPEAKER_01

That's extra- I don't know why that struck me as so funny. Exactly. I'm really kind of useless.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, pretty well, pretty useless. I make social media videos. Oh, well, I blah, blah, blah, all day on the radio.

SPEAKER_01

Someday they're gonna learn how to capitalize on that, and you're gonna be looked at as real valuable. Oh, sorry. Today we celebrate the folks who fight the good fight. Saying, hold up. Wait a minute, yo. Something ain't right.

SPEAKER_02

Cause they mainly use their left hand in an opposite way.

SPEAKER_01

It's a struggle, yes, indeed.

SPEAKER_02

So have a happy left hander's day. There. You know who is a left-hander? My son. Oh, I don't think I realized this.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah. Is and it shows he's hyper analytical. Oprah. At 12. Oh, really?

SPEAKER_02

Sir Paul McCartney.

SPEAKER_01

Did not know that either.

SPEAKER_02

See, Gavin's got a whole paved way of amazing. Uh actually, there are a lot of creative people. Lady Gaga.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I think it's it's two things. You're left-handed and super creative, or you're left-handed and uber analytical, like crazy Melissa down the hall.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, like Bart Simpson.

SPEAKER_01

Or Bart Simpson. Okay.

SPEAKER_02

That's not. My aunt was left-handed and she always had to eat at a certain place at the Thanksgiving table.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yes, you have to position it right. I have sat next to Gavin. Yeah. And we have bumped elbows already. Let's like constantly.

SPEAKER_02

Move over. The other day when Zach's kid was in town, we were talking about when Gavin was first starting to play baseball. Were you placing the ball in a certain hand or were you letting it happen?

SPEAKER_01

He never he never did baseball.

SPEAKER_02

So you don't know if he throws left or right?

SPEAKER_01

No, I mean he would throw left. I I know that for you.

SPEAKER_02

Well, that's funny you say that. So uh Cyrus is that Zach's kid's name is Cyrus. So Cyrus was saying, Dad, you forced me to throw left.

SPEAKER_01

A lot of people force their kids not to be left-handed. That's right.

SPEAKER_02

Oh no, he was forcing him to be left.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, he was forcing him to be left. Oh, that's funny.

SPEAKER_02

He goes, I didn't force you to be left. You did that on your own. And he kept saying to his dad, Dad, I'm right-handed, but you forced it in my left hand. He goes, I didn't do it. I promise you I didn't do it.

SPEAKER_01

But yet it's some memory. Hold on, I got a message on the text line. What you have a problem doing what with your left hand?

SPEAKER_00

I'm always saying, sorry, I can't do that. I'm left-handed.

SPEAKER_01

All right.

SPEAKER_00

It's like signing papers, like, oh, sorry, I have to turn this way, or I have to do it this way. Because all the buttons, like at a cash register, are on the right side. Oh. Like the checkouts on the right side. Um, the buttons in your car are on the right side. It's complicated. It's complicated.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, my husband and son are left-handed. Is it genetic? Yes, I think it is. Where does Gavin get it from then? I don't know. I was gonna say, you're right-handed, right?

SPEAKER_01

Uh yes, I am.

SPEAKER_02

Alright, hold on a second. Oh my god. When you get I'm sorry, dude.

SPEAKER_01

I didn't even know if you caught that joke. I heard it. I was just going past it. Oh, thanks.

SPEAKER_02

Um so when you when you start to Google, is being left-handed, here's the automatic text or automatic, well, yeah, automatic text. Is being left-handed a genetic trait? Is being left-handed a disability? Oh. It's not a disability trait.

SPEAKER_01

It's not a disability.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yes, being left-handed is partly genetic, but it is not controlled by a single excuse me, single gene. Studies show that genetics account for about only 25% of hand preference, while the rest is shaped by prenatal and environmental factors. Like as if your dad put the ball in the left hand. Yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Way to go, Zach.
