Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm just looking at the mugshot of Mary lou Retton. Man,
(00:02):
you talk about tragic. Wow. Life takes its turns, and
apparently took some bad turns for her. She was arrested,
of course, a couple of weeks ago, down in West
Virginia for DUI and this this. Frankly, if you would
have taken this picture, put it in front of me
and put a million dollars on the table and say
(00:22):
guess who this is, I never would have guessed. Mary
lou Retton just wouldn't have happened. Allison in her news
covered the ritz recall. I want to tell you about that. Plus,
if you did this, you already know it. But a
gas station here in the state of Ohio was pumping
diesel from the gas pump and a lot of cars
(00:47):
messed up. I'm just saying A two one WTV and
is my number. Aaron's been staying on or staying on
here through the brake, so let's get him in. Aaron,
you're on six to ten WUTVN.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Hey, Chuck, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Man?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Good to talk to you. I'm glad that you're feeling good. Hey,
I just wanted to say a couple of things, the
veneers or the sorry of the implants that you're referring to.
Apparently people say that because there's no connection to the root,
that you don't have that same sense of feel in
your mouth. And I guess it's pretty common to bite
your tongue and your cheek a lot more when you're
trying to chew with those.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Really, I have not heard that.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
And then the other thing was man about you know
about the herpes is I can't wait to hear your story.
But people don't really realize there's gobs of different kinds
out there. Man, get them on your hands and your
feet and all over the place.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Tell me about it, Aaron.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Anyway, I'm excited to hear the story. I hope you
guys have a great night. Thanks for a good show.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
You too, Aaron. Thank you. Zach has the beard herpies?
I think, don't you have the beard herpes?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I don't know. I just say I don't save the
beard very often, so I know they're there. I just
know that they.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
All of them are essentially like lice, aren't they herpes? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:55):
The beard herpes are you can feel a moving it now.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
They're like they're bugs. That embed themselves, and I thought,
I'm no expert. Thank goodness, Yeah, I can tell, but
I'm just I thought that. I thought, you know, the
herpes virus was kind of like, it's just smaller version
of lice.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I thought, I thought just like it was it was.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
It was a virus, but it's a living It's like bugs,
isn't it. I don't know, are you thinking of Oh,
I'm thinking a crap. Okay, See again, I'm no expert
on any of this. I've never had to worry about
that kind of thing. People say, how do you know
you don't have children? Because I know, I trust me,
(02:41):
I know these things. Oh, take stock in yourself. The
Ritz recall from the Food and Drug Administration. RITZ didn't
do this. Apparently the FDA got involved. Ritz cracker packs
nationwide because of mislabeling. Cartons may contain undeclared peanuts Impact
(03:06):
Best or Inspectates Range my Gosh, impacted Best by Range
November twenty five and January twenty sixth, or through January
twenty sixth. No illnesses have been reported, but because there
may have been some peanuts used in the production of
those Ritz crackers, you're supposed to call them and say
(03:26):
give me a refund for my crackers. I guess that's
I don't know. Also, Sam's Club in Saint Clairsville, Ohio,
that's up toward Kyahoga County, right, pretty sure, the fuel
truck comes and fills the tanks underground so you can
pump the fuel from the pumps into your car. Well,
(03:48):
some guy who is likely unemployed today, who was filling
those tanks put diesel in the gas. So people who
went to the gas pump to pump eighty seven octane
unloaded fuel got diesel in their cars. Now, for those
(04:12):
of you that are not mechanically inclined, this is a problem.
It was not a Sam's Club or Walmart truck. It
was a third party fuel supplier that did the inadvertent
mix up. The issue went unnoticed until customers began posting
on Facebook their vehicles would not start. Jerry Witzberger, the
(04:34):
owner of ASAP Auto Care, explained what happens to an
engine when diesel fuel was used in an engine designed
for unleaded gasoline. It's pretty easy. Diesel fuels thick and heavy.
It's a high oil content. It is not refined the
way gasoline is, so he says, Hopefully it didn't get
through the whole system. If it got into the point
(04:56):
where it was your car wouldn't start. The whole thing's
going to have to be flood. Hopefully you haven't done
any engine damage yet, but it will definitely shut down
your car. In many cases, the engine is salvageable, but
the process can be costly. It may require your vehicle
to spend a full day, a full day whatever at
the shop. So when's the last time you got a Carlo,
(05:17):
Well you basically when's the last time you got a
car out of a shop in a day? Yeah? I know,
Sam said, we're actively addressing to address the situation, or
actually working to address the situation, and are dedicated to
making things right for a Festiica. And there's going to
be the people are going to want new engines, new
fuel systems, new cars. It's going to happen when you
(05:39):
go to something that is government regulated, inspected and the
vendor finds a way to screw it up and possibly
screw up your your tens of thousands of dollars worth
of vehicle. Yeah, you're going to want compensated. Yeah, be furious.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I had I missed work and you need to pay
me for loss of time. I mean, this could go
on and on and on.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I'm unemployed, but I I wasn't able to go out
and look for work, so I need to be compensated.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
For her I'm still in everybody. I'm still with the government,
the county commissioner, why all of them?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Why not? Man, there's a check to be had everywhere.
That's just what a shame that something like that happened.
All right, So the herpee story, I know you are
on the edge of your seat. Doctors. This is a
New York Post story. Doctors are using herpes to fight cancer.
(06:31):
I'm not making this up. I am not making this now.
I've already seen the reports about these new lasers that
are basically they use laser technology and AI technology to
detect cancer cells and they knock out the cancer cells.
They bust them up in the system, which is hopefully
(06:53):
going to be a wonderful alternative to chemotherapy. But doctors
at the University of Southern California have turned her into
a cancer fighter. They took herpie simplex virus type one,
remove the parts that cause blisters, and tweaked it so
that the germ attacks tumor cells. A study of one
(07:13):
hundred and forty people who's advanced melanoma no longer responded
to regular care, the combo shrank the tumors by at
least thirty percent in about a third of those patients.
It wiped out all signs of cancer in nearly one
out of six. What that is you talk about? God
(07:33):
send news right there? That is uh. I'm a firm
believer that there is nothing that afflicts us for which
there is not a cure on this planet.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
It just hasn't been found yet.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I'm with you. It would
it not be amazing to find that one of the
vermin of our existence is also the savior. That that's
just the way life works out, Just the way life
works out. Sometimes they say herpes. Of course they call
it the gift that keeps on giving. Could be useful
in this case. Of those one hundred and forty people, again,
(08:07):
the tumors shrank by at least thirty percent, and about
a third wiped out all signs of cancer in nearly
one out of six, which may not sound like a
tremendous number of people, but that's a very hopeful study.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Any progress who knows what this could lead to, that
could lead to something else, that could lead who knows
right exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
So that's great. They've got a larger trial coming up,
what they call Phase three, and that's that's actually underway
right now, and instead of one hundred and forty, they're
using four hundred cancer patients and I'm truly looking forward
to that. I want to see what the result is.
A two ninety eight six my number eight two WUTV
and Cliff has some thoughts on the dental implants. Clint,
(08:50):
I'm trying to look beautiful, man, tell me what you
need to tell me.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Hey, I lost some of uppers because of COVID because
I had a calcium deficiency. And yeah, it's a foreign
body in your mouth. But if you get a real
good uh dentist that knows what he's doing, they can
make it right. Like that person talking about biting your
tongue or scraping. They'll make those adjustments and they actually
(09:16):
look pretty good. They're better than having dentris in your mouth.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Let me let me ask you this, Cliff, when you
got them, did you get are they bright white? Did
you get bright teeth? Did you did you say, hey,
I want. I need these to be kind of dull.
I need them to look like I'm a grown man
that's had a cup of coffee.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
They they actually bring a little chart in. You got
the bright white Hollywood, then you got the smokers look okay.
But what I got, what I got lucky with is
when I had had to have my uppers removed, I
had them cast. So my my implants look absolutely like
(09:52):
my original teeth.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
That right there is what I'm looking for, because I've
got I've got a gap in the front of my
mouth that my dad he had, that his daddy had,
that my sisters have. We all have it, and it's
a family thing. We've all got this gap in their
two front teeth. I don't want to give that up.
As crazy as that sounds.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Well, you're an old boy from Columbus. There's a guy
I won't tell on the air, but if you want
me to, I'll tell you off the air. He's a
really good guy, really good prices, because the problem is
these guys that advertise on television are screwing people over
hardcore on prices.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, I've looked at some of those prices anywhere from
fourteen up to about thirty two thousand dollars is what
I've seen.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Well, what I got my mouth right now is twenty
five thousand dollars. What Clear Choice wanted to charge me
was forty five thousand.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
That's a big difference.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
But the convenience I can whistle now, I couldn't whistle
with denters. I couldn't sneeze without worrying about them popping
on my mouth.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
All right, I'll tell you what can I will put
you on hold so if you will give Zach the
the info on where you went, because I you know,
you've got my attention, especially with that kind of price difference.
And again I want I don't want perfect I don't
want glowing Hollywood tea. I just like to, you know,
have a nice smile. If I'm gonna be thinner, if
(11:16):
I'm gonna hopefully get in better shape, I want a
nice smile. Is that asking too much? I don't think so. Cliff,
You're on I'm sorry, Chuck, You're on sixthen w TV,
And I how did I mess up? Chucky? How could
I mess up?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Chuck? How did you do that?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
So?
Speaker 5 (11:31):
One thing I think about you? Your voice is very
important to you. Yes, how you make your living. Everyone
I've ever seen has had those implants their voice. Really, okay,
you might want to give a real consideration two before
you take.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
That leap that would killer right there.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Yeah, it is for you, I think it would be, honestly.
And Saint Clair'sville is out by Wheeling.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Oh okay, so it's going to be more east southeast
from here. For some reason, I thought I was by Cuyahoga.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Now it's like fifteen miles from Wheeling on the side
of the river.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
All right, Well, you didn't get any Sam's gas out there,
did you.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I did not. I do go there for worker every
once in a while, but now I did not get
sam seats.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Okay, Chuck. I appreciate the info, especially that warning about
the voice, because that is a that is a big
consideration I had years ago. If you've been with me anytime,
you know I had surgery on my spine and they
didn't tell me at the time because I was desperate.
I couldn't walk, I couldn't button my shirts. My left
(12:37):
leg was a dead piece of meat. Frankly, I did
not know when nature was calling, and half the time
I go, oh my gosh, what did I just do.
I had no feeling from the neck down. I was
dead because my spine had been damaged to the point
where the signals from my brain were not able to
travel to the rest of my body, and so my
(12:59):
body base was just shutting down. I wasn't going to
negotiate anything. They said, we can help you. In fact,
the neurologist came in the room and he said, his
quote was another eighteen months or so, you'll be a quadriplegic.
I can't do a damn thing for And I said,
then do what you gotta do to do the surgery,
(13:21):
to put the screws in the back of my head
and get my spine straightened out and all that stuff.
They went in through the front. They didn't tell me.
I hadn't asked about it. I didn't know this was
going to happen. But they went in through the front
of my neck. I still have a scar, and basically,
(13:42):
you know, grab my esophagus, vocal cords and everything and
pushed them aside and held them aside in order to
get in there to do what they needed to do
in my spine. When I came out of the anesthesia,
I was Yoda. I herable that was like this, and
(14:03):
I cried, I, you know, there are better voices than mine,
but this one's mine, and I know how to use it.
I know what to do with it. And when I
opened my mouth the first time and I heard that,
I thought I was done. So h yeah. I haven't
had much to offer in my lifetime except for whatever
(14:25):
talent God gave me, and a lot of that revolves
around what comes out of my face. And frankly, if
all my teeth fell out, I would not get them
replaced if it meant I would lose the voices that
I have because they are what I do. I know
that probably sounds crazy, but it's too much a part
(14:47):
of me to say goodbye to. So Chuck. I appreciate
the U. I appreciate that warning. I have not heard
that as any kind of admonition before. All Right, well, nobody,
don't go out and start, you know, collect thing herpes,
rus cups or anything. There's still that studies underway, but
that is some great news
I'm just looking at the mugshot of Mary lou Retton. Man,
(00:02):
you talk about tragic. Wow. Life takes its turns, and
apparently took some bad turns for her. She was arrested,
of course, a couple of weeks ago, down in West

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Hey, Chuck, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Man?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Good to talk to you. I'm glad that you're feeling good. Hey,
I just wanted to say a couple of things, the

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Tell me about it, Aaron.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Anyway, I'm excited to hear the story. I hope you
guys have a great night. Thanks for a good show.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
You too, Aaron. Thank you. Zach has the beard herpies?
I think, don't you have the beard herpes?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I don't know. I just say I don't save the
beard very often, so I know they're there. I just
know that they.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
All of them are essentially like lice, aren't they herpes? Yeah?

I thought, I thought just like it was it was.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
It was a virus, but it's a living It's like bugs,
isn't it. I don't know, are you thinking of Oh,
I'm thinking a crap. Okay, See again, I'm no expert
on any of this. I've never had to worry about
that kind of thing. People say, how do you know
you don't have children? Because I know, I trust me,
(02:41):
I know these things. Oh, take stock in yourself. The

(11:16):
I'm gonna hopefully get in better shape, I want a
nice smile. Is that asking too much? I don't think so. Cliff,
You're on I'm sorry, Chuck, You're on sixthen w TV,
And I how did I mess up? Chucky? How could
I mess up?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Chuck? How did you do that?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
So?
Speaker 5 (11:31):
One thing I think about you? Your voice is very
important to you. Yes, how you make your living. Everyone
I've ever seen has had those implants their voice. Really, okay,
you might want to give a real consideration two before
you take.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
That leap that would killer right there.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Yeah, it is for you, I think it would be, honestly.
And Saint Clair'sville is out by Wheeling.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Oh okay, so it's going to be more east southeast
from here. For some reason, I thought I was by Cuyahoga.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Now it's like fifteen miles from Wheeling on the side
of the river.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
All right, Well, you didn't get any Sam's gas out there,
did you.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I did not. I do go there for worker every
once in a while, but now I did not get
sam seats.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Okay, Chuck. I appreciate the info, especially that warning about
the voice, because that is a that is a big
consideration I had years ago. If you've been with me anytime,
you know I had surgery on my spine and they
didn't tell me at the time because I was desperate.
I couldn't walk, I couldn't button my shirts. My left
(12:37):
leg was a dead piece of meat. Frankly, I did
not know when nature was calling, and half the time
I go, oh my gosh, what did I just do.
I had no feeling from the neck down. I was
dead because my spine had been damaged to the point
where the signals from my brain were not able to
travel to the rest of my body, and so my
(12:59):
body base was just shutting down. I wasn't going to
negotiate anything. They said, we can help you. In fact,
the neurologist came in the room and he said, his
quote was another eighteen months or so, you'll be a quadriplegic.
I can't do a damn thing for And I said,
then do what you gotta do to do the surgery,
(13:21):
to put the screws in the back of my head
and get my spine straightened out and all that stuff.
They went in through the front. They didn't tell me.
I hadn't asked about it. I didn't know this was
going to happen. But they went in through the front
of my neck. I still have a scar, and basically,
(13:42):
you know, grab my esophagus, vocal cords and everything and
pushed them aside and held them aside in order to
get in there to do what they needed to do
in my spine. When I came out of the anesthesia,
I was Yoda. I herable that was like this, and
(14:03):
I cried, I, you know, there are better voices than mine,
but this one's mine, and I know how to use it.
I know what to do with it. And when I
opened my mouth the first time and I heard that,
I thought I was done. So h yeah. I haven't
had much to offer in my lifetime except for whatever
(14:25):
talent God gave me, and a lot of that revolves
around what comes out of my face. And frankly, if
all my teeth fell out, I would not get them
replaced if it meant I would lose the voices that
I have because they are what I do. I know
that probably sounds crazy, but it's too much a part
(14:47):
of me to say goodbye to. So Chuck. I appreciate
the U. I appreciate that warning. I have not heard
that as any kind of admonition before. All Right, well, nobody,
don't go out and start, you know, collect thing herpes,
rus cups or anything. There's still that studies underway, but
that is some great news
