Speaker 1 (00:04):
Greeting salitations. Welcome my friends to another edition to the
Power Hour six ten wtv in Thursday, edition of last
one for the week. We'll do it again at the
beginning on Monday, or states well, get one hour together,
which means I talk really faster. You must listen even faster.
My number eight two one nine eight eight six eight
two one WTVN or one eight hundred and sixty ten
(00:25):
WTVN will work as well. A couple of things I
want to get to news wise. One of the very
few times that you would ever hear me saying rah
rah to city attorneys at client but I've got I've
got a ra ra for the city Attorney's office. I'm
just just I'm telling you that in advance, so you
can brace yourself because I don't want to, you know,
scare the children or anything, but it is coming. Also,
(00:49):
this idiot, this idiot that calls the wreck on seventy one.
I don't know exactly when this happened. I found the story.
It's on the WLWT website, which is what Cincinnati right.
I didn't see it on any of the stations here,
which is kind of odd, but it happened here in
Columbus and an absolute idiot story that I must share
(01:11):
with you first. Though, we get messages, both Blazer and
I when we're on the air all the time, and
he was getting he was getting stuff about horse names
and all kinds of stuff. Today we started this show though,
right at the very beginning at three o'clock, talking about
the Awaken one eighty and how I was doing so far,
and I was complaining about my turkey neck, because as
(01:33):
you lose weight, you know, there's something's got to fill
that void. And I've just got like the flabby turkey
neck thing going now. And so anyway, that inspired I
got a mail message, and Mail wanted to know, do
you I heard their commercial? Do you really think I
can lose forty pounds by the fourth of July. So
I'm going to divert from regular programming because since I'm
doing spots for Awaken one eighty, I'm doing testimonial commercials
(01:57):
for them. I'm going to address you Mail. I'm gonna
right here on the and I'm going to tell you, yes,
I do think you can, and yes, what I tell
you on the radio about what I'm doing and how
it's working for me is absolutely true. Because I will
not listen. I will not blow smoke up your financial
push to do an endorsement commercial. I won't do it.
(02:18):
It is actually it's doing what I say it's doing.
The weight is coming off as I tell you, I'm
giving you. You know a week by last week sucked,
but I last week sucked in my life, which is
why the weight loss I took off like an eighth
of a pound or point it was point eight is
what it was. Now. The reason for that my own fault,
(02:40):
because of my life. There were three days, if you
will remember that I was not here with Mark, and
one person said, Zach is running me run because I
couldn't be here. I had other stuff going on, and
I was in places for three days during the course
of the week that first of all, were very highly
stressful and secondly did not give me access to eating
(03:02):
what I'm supposed to eat when I'm supposed to eat it.
So you get a counselor when you do this thing.
And talking to my counselor on Monday and I explain,
you know, what had happened, what the week was like,
and so forth, and she was so wonderful because she said, okay,
First of all, don't feel bad from what you've just
told me. I will tell you exactly why this happened.
(03:24):
We have you on a regimen where you're eating at
these intervals, and your body suddenly was not getting any
food because you're in this situation where you're nowhere where
you can eat. Your body starts saying, Okay, we're not
getting rid of any fat. We're not burning off anything
because we're going to need this for fuel because there's
no food coming in. So this week life is a
(03:47):
little bit normal. We're on Thursday now. I do my
check ins with them on Monday, but sends my check
in Monday to this morning because I just weighed myself
out of blatant curiosity this morning. See how I was
going three point eight pounds from Monday to today. So
I'm back on a normal schedule. It does what I
say it does. If it didn't, I would not say it. So, Mel,
(04:08):
if you were inclined to do so, go for it.
Forty pounds by the fourth I think, yeah, I think
that's doable. Now, that's doable for now. Next week I
might go. I don't know, because you know this is
already the first of May, so you're only talking about
two months to get this done. But yeah, twenty pounds
a month. I can actually I can see you doing that.
(04:30):
So there you go. Want to answer that question right
off the bat. Let me get into this idiot on
the freeway, Zach. Do you know have you seen the story?
The video of the story they were o doc cameras
I believe that they were using for the news story. Yes,
I I just watched. Does it say is there anything
on there to indicate when this happened? Because I can't
(04:53):
find dates anywhere on this April.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
But that's all I am.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So that was yesterday, yesterday, beautiful sunshine, blueskuys and all
that stuff. This moron, I don't know who it was.
I could be talking about my cousin Joe for all
I know. Moron is on seventy one at six seventy
looks like seventy one northbound from the camera footage at
six seventy. Apparently wanted to get off at six seventy,
(05:17):
So he's in the middle lane and he stops. Behind him,
another car pulls and stops because he's not moving. Then
another van, a white van, pulls up third in line stops.
Then a big old gray cargo van slams into the
white van, which slams into the middle car, which slams
into the red car. On a beautiful day, no bad weather,
(05:42):
no visibility problems, nothing, there's no reason for this except moron.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
The best part of the whole thing is that he
stops because he wants to get off this exit, and
he's waiting and waiting, and then two cars get hit
behind him, right, it's his car, and then he's like
drives away.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Yeah. Well, and the guy in the gray van that
came up and crashed into all three of them and
made all of it. That was obvious distracted driving. There's
no way you come up on three cars sitting still
on the freeway at sixty miles an hour and slam
into the back end like that if you're paying attention.
If it was dark, snowy, rainy, icy, any e out there, Okay,
(06:26):
maybe I could understand a little bit of the wreck,
but there was nothing that came into play. This is why,
this is why I complain about driving so much. People
are just too stupid. And you know, we talk about
flying cars. You people can't even handle driving on the
freeway Half the time. You don't know what a roundabout
(06:47):
does do? I want you over me and no flying cars.
Master pavement first, for goodness sake.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Man, those roundabouts too, because I go through them almost
every day. I'm pretty sure people just wing it. They
just get up there and they're just like this feels okay, and.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
They just I know, and it's not that difficult. It
really is not that difficult. Now. I remember back in
I got a traffic ticket on seventy one southbound. It
was January fourth of nineteen eighty four. I still remember.
Guy's name was Larry. I won't use his last name,
but I remember that too. He was driving an eighty
one Plymouth Fury I believe it was brown four door uh,
(07:23):
and there was ice on the ground. Now, I was
young and the officer I remember the officer's name too,
and as I understand that he was a really good guy,
but I was the youngster. The old guy didn't get
the ticket, although as I got older, I thought that
he should have got the ticket, not me, because here's
what happened. We're like coming up on seventeenth Avenue on
seventy one south sound ice, he skids and he sideways
(07:47):
on the freeway. So I slammed into the passenger side
of his car, and I got a ticket for failure
to control. But again, I was nineteen years old, and
so I was just like, man, I can't believe I
gotta take it, and I just took it. But if
this chuck in that same situation got that ticket, oh yes,
(08:08):
we'd be fighting it. We would absolutely be fighting it.
He was sideways. I don't care if I ran into him.
He was sideways on the freeway. It was his fault,
not mine. And I just but at nineteen, you don't
have the audacity to buck the system like that, to
(08:31):
go into traffic court and argue like that, and of
course you don't want to tell Dad what happened, so
you go face the battle yourself and you do stupid
stuff like take the blame for something you never should
have taken the blame for. I did plenty of things
I should have taken the blame for when I was young,
but that was not one of them. But to this day,
(08:54):
I vibrantly remember this incident. Vibrantly remember this because oh
what just a farthing, nugan. It was never should have happened,
And I'm still mad at myself that I didn't find
a way to slide around him or something. But that
incident made me a better driver in the future. I
(09:20):
got better because of that, because it was at that
moment I realized I'm not driving for myself. I'm driving
for all the morons around me too, And I became
a better driver because of that. That story. I'm reiterating
to you right now simply to say, the idiot in
the red car in this video will never be any
(09:41):
better you. That is the stupidest thing I think I've
ever seen anybody.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Do, probably the least of the RECs that he's caused
in his.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Life, and then to drive all that.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It tapped his car and he just was like, oh, well,
now I have space to go.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Forgive me for speculating that the person driving that red
vehicle might not have been born here, might not be
licensed here. That's exactly what's going through my mind. Call
it hate speech, if you will, I call it observing
the world around me. Eight two one ninety eight six
my number eight two WTV and Pandora. You're on the
Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone lines. Hi, Hi, I
(10:23):
want to tell you you you are right on Chuck,
You are right on. There are so many idiots out
there because I work in Ireland too, and they've in
situations and they I just shake my head.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
You are instiutionand up comedy.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You do you? Uh? Do you get on seventy out
there off of two fifty six to go to work? Yeah?
I do not envy you. That is one of the
most ridiculous. That two fifty six from three to ten
on up to Bryce Road on that freeway is ridiculous
during morning and evening. I'm sorry I been telling you. No.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
They know my name, That's why I didn't want.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
To give it, but they're stupid.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
And thank you for making me laugh by Fannie Off
because you are right on, Chuck. I listen to you
every night.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I just love it. My dear bless your heart, and
thank you for putting the smile on. The return for
the laugh is the smile that you just gave me.
Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
You are most welcome.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
You have a wonderful evening and keep up the great work.
Thank you very much. Vandora, I have a good evening yourself. Rob.
You are on six d a WTVN.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Hey, yeah, yeah, I've got a story of you know,
hitting a stock car when I was in my thirties
to kind of relate to your story about in your
nineteen year old So and I was coming to the streets.
The bridge was frozen right in front of Whatstone High School,
and there was a car that spun out before I
had got there, and it was sideways right in the
(12:02):
middle of the road, and I could not stop. So
I'm honking my horn. People are outside of their cars
and everything, just looking at their vehicles, and you know,
I know I'm going to hit them, so just honking
the honking, and then slam hit into them, just t
bone and you know, people were screaming, and I thought
I had knocked somebody over the side of the bridge,
but thanks had not. They were just scared to death.
(12:24):
But but but wouldn't have happeneding talking to the cop,
he goes, well, was that vehicle that you hit still
moving when you struck it? And I said no, it
was stopped, and he goes, well, if it was moving,
then you would have had an excuse. But because it
was stopped, you should have had a sured clear distance
(12:46):
to stop in those icy conditions, So therefore it was
my fault.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, Yeah, that's pretty much the logic that the officer
gave me when I was nineteen years old, and I'm sorry,
but I assured clear distance for a car sideways on
the freeway does not make any sense. I agreed, Rob,
I appreciate the story. Thanks very much. A lot of
the tickets that I got when I was young. By
the way, I had a nineteen seventy six gray Chevy Impalla.
And for you old people out there, the name Jeane
(13:13):
Fullan might bring a bell. His voice grace these airwaves
at one point, I do believe, and I bought the
and turned out the guy I bought the car from
was his son. But I didn't know that. I didn't
know who Jean Fuller was. My dad wouldn't with me
to look at the car, and he recognized the name.
So I bought this car, and it had a mind
(13:35):
of its own. It had cruise control that would take
me from fifty five to ninety without me touching anything,
and once it got to ninety, it would not come off.
And it was going ninety whether I want it was
like Chris, I called it Christine because that car did
what it wanted. And even with that, I never stopped
(13:55):
in the middle of the freeway. What a moron
