Speaker 1 (00:05):
Greeting salitations. Welcome my friends to another edition of The
Power Hour on six ten WU TV, and I'm Chuck Douglass.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
You know who you are.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
We take it from there. We get one hour together,
which means I talk really fast and you must listen
even faster. My number eight two one nine eight eighty
six A two one w TV. And You're always welcome
when I am on the air. I'll do my best
to get you in if you get a line. I
was just looking over the auction going on sea busbids
dot Com. I don't know if you look at you
this or not, Zach, but they've got some cool stuff
(00:33):
on there. Worthington Jewelers. There's one thousand dollars gift certificate
for Worthington Jewels Jewelers on there, and Lego Land Family Passes,
even a private private room golf simulator, which I Blazer
was just drooling over earlier. But Sea bus bids dot Com,
(00:53):
that's where you want to go, and you can, you know,
maybe pick a great deal on an auction item. Maybe
I can pick up a great deal on a new
cell phone contract. I had the Queen's phone. First of all,
I have a deep contempt for Apple products. Okay, we
all know that. We know that, don't we. Yeah, we
all know that. So she's been having an SCU lately,
(01:16):
as have I. Well, my CU is different. I have
lots of them, but I keep getting the message on
there that, uh, you know your your iCloud is iPhone
memory is full or whatever, and so nothing works. You
have to you know, you can't use voice text or
(01:36):
pages that the screen doesn't respond when you're trying to
flip pages or what. It just a pain in that
took us. And so I finally found last night a
way to go in where you can manage video storage
and uh and photo storage. The thing of it is
is it doesn't give you the opportunity to like upload
it to a dropbox account or share it to a
(01:59):
And then so I hook up a USB between my
phone and my laptop, and I've gotten an external hard drive.
So I'm transferring everything over from the phone to this
extra and all the folders transfer. But then I go
in and there's zero data. So it's not actually transferring
the pictures in the videos. It's just transferring the empty folders,
(02:23):
which is not helpful. Leader, so I started deleting stuff
because that was my only choice.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
What it didn't transfer, No.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
It doesn't.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I'm so if you transfer your stuff from your phone
to the computer and you delete everything off your phone,
it's all gone.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
It's not on the computer, it's gone. Right, you're doing
something right. I just get no data in any of
the folders when I go, and the know it says
this folder contains no data. So yeah, pain In then
took this, so that in itself, that's annoying enough. And
then plus the fact that you know it won't let
me close out a screen or like I say, use
(03:02):
the voice text or anything like that. So then the
Queen's phone, hers, hers is a little bit newer. I've
got the twelve pro and she's got what does she have? Thirteen?
I think it is. And so hers will, like arbitrarily
just start playing iHeart just for no reason, even if
(03:23):
it's not open, the iHeart app just starts playing. So
I can't believe. Please don't tell my boss, But I said,
just delete the iHeart app, take it off of there,
and then we'll put it back on later. Maybe it
just needs to be removed completely. So I had her
delete the iHeart app. And then last night she comes out.
She was talking to the princess and all of a
sudden her phone is taken over with audio. We're listening
(03:48):
to people talking, other people talk, and it's not like
a phone call that we're listening to. We're hearing these
people like they're all just you know, sitting next to
each other table with microphones. It was strange like a podcast. Yes, yes,
very crystal clear. You could hear everything. One guy was
(04:09):
griping about paying his rent and not having his child
support money, and then we heard the police sirens going
by as they were talking. Then we heard a police
helicopter and then one of the girls said, oh, that
dude has a rifle. They were over on my beloved
West Side at the scene of that swat incident where
somebody was at a got stabbed. I guess at an
(04:31):
apartment complex. I used to deliver newspapers in that apartment
building at Broad in Belvedere. And so they are down
there and they are on the Citizen Crime app and
they're doing a live on the Citizen Crime app showing
this event going on. But they weren't even like they
(04:54):
just had They were just talking while they were recording
or had the camera on. We could hear everything they said,
and it was well at one point. Finally, after a while,
because we couldn't turn them off, I emptied all her
apps were off, there was nothing on it, but we
couldn't turn off their sound. And so finally the girl goes, oh, girl,
(05:17):
you know we on the Citizen now. So I'm like,
so wait a minute. That's that's how I figured out
how where this audio is coming from. This was freaky
because we and I'm trying to talk to him in
the phone hello, because I it didn't make any sense,
but we couldn't figure out anything to do except okay,
(05:41):
we got to delete the Citizen app from her phone now,
but it's like her phone just if it has audio
attached to it, just out of nowhere, We'll just start
playing stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Did you you can close the app like manually?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yes, it was closed manually. Everything was. I empty closed everything.
I eliminated all the windows. Everything was closed on that phone.
The phone was powered on, but there were no active apps,
but we could not get that audio to shut off.
So at this point, before I knew it was the
Citizen app, I'm trying to figure out exactly what the
(06:16):
heck it is so I try to contact the cellular carrier,
which I haven't had to do in a while. I
try to avoid that stuff, just talking to people in general. Really,
But so I go into the cell app on my phone,
and I've got the option I can let AI answer
my questions for me, or I can text chat with someone. Well,
(06:41):
of course I've got a tight because my voice text
isn't working because mind phone is a piece of craft.
And so I finally get somebody on a text chat,
which I hate. If it's bad enough that I need
to call you and ask for help, I need to
talk to somebody. Is that out a line? Is that
out of the question.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
No, it's your you own it.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
They should. I'm just saying, if I'm competent, if it
has reached a stage where I need help, then I
need help. I don't need AI. I don't need a
chat box. I need somebody to pick up the phone,
identify themselves with a typical Midwestern name, even though I
(07:22):
know they're not, and help me. Thank you. How many
of my put in customer service my name is Bill
may help you. You know it's not Bill, but still
you take what you can get. But I ended up
in a chat with somebody trying to figure out what
this was, and that's when the girl finally goes, girl,
you know, we own citizen, and that's when I figured out, okay,
(07:44):
we just got to delete the citizen. That So it's
been a technicolo between the phones and the bat in
the bathroom this morning. I've had a heck of a Monday.
How you doing, man? Everything?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Okay, yeah, I'm trying to figure out. Like I've had
that before, but I've just closed an app or whatever
and it went back to normal. I've never had it
where it just keeps playing and playing and playing and playing.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, would not stop, would not stop. Plus here's something
while I'm griping, here's something else. Because I've always been
an Android guy until now. With Android, you just you
push the button, you power down, you push the button
you power up. With Apple, you have to hold the
one button on one side and the other button on
the other side, and you have to just turn it off.
(08:27):
You can't restart it. You have to shut it completely
down and then bring it back up again. But if
you piss push the wrong button or or maybe pissed
is the right word at this point, uh, the wrong
then all you keep doing is taking screenshots so I
you know, so I'm.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
How many screenshots?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Do you like? Four or five screenshots of my screen
before I? Oh? No, I got to push that other button,
don't I? And yeah, man, it's I don't know. I
like my iPad.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I can try and fix your phone for you if
I if I bring in my laptop, but I mean
I don't want all your stuff on my laptop.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
No, because there's a lot of questionable material that could
get you in trouble with the I understand Tom Holman
shall wet up at your door and uh.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
But it should be as easy as like you plug
it in. Do you trust this computer on your phone?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, and then it should just start transferring.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And I did exactly that even with a you know,
I have a terabyte external hard drive that I was
putting everything to and couldn't even do that. That's weird.
Is your phone not to be that guy? As your
phone updated as update? There is an update available, but
because of the storage, it won't update the the thing either.
(09:44):
Much is there? It's only a one twenty eight phone,
so right, how much can I don't know? But the
update size is like four trillion kill terabytes or at
something else. With Apple, why's all their stuff got to
be so big? Why is everything so large? By the
time you get done putting the mandatory stuff on your
(10:06):
phone for it to operate as it's supposed to operate,
you've taken up all your hard drive space. You've got
to have an enhanced hard drive just in order to
have your own stuff on there. I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I mean mine started to get full, and I paid
ninety nine cents for like every month for so many gigaby.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
That's what they want you to do, is to pay
extra money. I'm already paying for Google Drive and Google
One and and I pay too much for too much
crap that I don't even know what the hell Google
one is. I just pay for it. I just have it.
It's just there, but I'm not sure how to use it.
I thought when I subscribed to it, it was something
(10:49):
where I could get a bunch of space and like
share my crap and the queen's crap and maybe even
some of the kids crap to one drive. That's the
name Google one, right, And it hasn't worked out that way.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Well, that's not I don't know anything about good because
Android's inferior, but I just have to I mean, I
might have to play with it sometime.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And I've had my phone. Look, can you tell can
you see this? My phone is ringing right now? Yeah,
this is the second call I've had today while I've
been on the air. Both calls have been from people
who know I'm on the air every day from three
to seven. Well answer it. And they're calling while they
know better. Do you want me to answer it? You
know what, don't tempt me. Don't tempt me. It's my phone,
(11:34):
so I can't answer it on the air. But if
it wasn't my phone it was a company vone, I
would answer it on the air and just go, yeah,
so you know I'm on the radio right now, right,
you are a lot just I'm just saying I'm on
the radio right now, and you knew that before you called.
I actually just had somebody touch base with me the
other day on Facebook and say, uh, well was because
(11:54):
I made I said something funny. I forget what it was,
but anyway, they haven't talked to me in like a
year and half for exactly that reason. They called me
One day I was I was hosting l EPDs on
Target show. So not only am I on the air live,
but I'm also in front of a group of people
(12:15):
who come to sit in in the store and watch
on Target every week. And my phone starts ringing, so
I answered it. I'm like, hey, hey, hello, on the
air right now, we're doing live radio. I have to
get back to you later. And this person got upset
with me that I did that instead of just letting
my phone ring while I was on the air. You're
(12:37):
on the air and they haven't talked to me for
a year and a half until just this past week
and I got a message from him.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
But it's not like a podcast where you can polse it.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
It was live radio. Yes, keep going, that's live. That's
what I'm saying. There's here. It was. It was it
was mandatory, and I couldn't get the phone ringer off,
so I had no choice. I had to get the
phone to stop making noise because we were live on
the air in front of a live audience with that phone.
Might have been I can't remember. Just click the volume
(13:08):
down once and it should mute it. No, there's a
little switch on the side. Oh yeah, there's a little
switch on this I mean, either way, it's the volume button.
It should anyway. I hate Apple products. So we have
been talking basically for most of the last three hours
while I was in here with Mark, talking about the
situation in Los Angeles. If you feel the need, I
(13:31):
will not discourage you, but honestly, I'm kind of sick
of it. I'm all we could do at this point
is stand back and watch. The rhetoric is ridiculous. People
are setting stuff on fire, and throwing things at law enforcement,
and dropping molotov cocktails and and busting out windows of
(13:52):
government buildings and all of this stuff. And somehow, some way,
the left wing powers that be in the state of California.
I believe it's Donald Trump's fault for saying we need
to react to it, We need to do something
