Speaker 1 (00:04):
Greeting citations, Walk my friends to another edition of the
Power Hour of sixteen dou WTV, and I'm Chuck Douglas.
You know who you are, and we can 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, eight to
one WTV in or eight hundred and six to ten WTV.
And in the words of the Dirt Band, let's make
(00:24):
a little magic before the night is through. You remember
that song. You're too young for that, aren't you. No, not,
just make a little magic for the you don't remember.
I don't want to do that with you. I remember
those what you don't want to make magic with me?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I know?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Abra alas, I'm so anyway, I'm reading this. Yeah, I
read stuff all over the internet. It's what I do,
it's what I am, it's it's part of me, it's
my being. And I come across They've always got these,
you know, stories and studies and crap like that, eleven
phrases deeply unhappy people use on a regular basis. Hi,
(01:02):
my name Zach is not among them. That's a good thing. Hey, heck, what.
But however, I don't even care what the rest of
the list is because number one on the list, it
is what it is, Zach, have you heard that before?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
It is what it is.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
It is what it is.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yes, I don't think I've ever really used that one.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I use it every day of my life. And it's
got nothing to do with being deeply unhappy. It's got
to do with being realistic. It is what it is. Period. Now,
how you react to it, whatever it may be, is
completely on you. But the fact that this is number
one on the list of the phrases that deeply unhappy
(01:45):
people use on a regular basis makes me not care
about the rest of their list. And that's a sad
thing because as I'm reading the rest of their list,
most of these I would agree with, and number two
nothing works out for me. Yeah, okay, I would say
that you're deeply unhappy if you use that a lot.
(02:06):
Number three is what's the point again? Yes, I would
say probably unhappy if you use that a lot. I'm fine,
just tired. Okay, No, what if you're actually tired and fine?
People who are productive, who go out there and try
to kick the world in the butt every day to
stimulate the economy, to make their mark, to leave a
(02:27):
legacy of some sort. They're tired a lot, and they
can be fine and tired at the same time. So
I disagree with that one. Nobody likes me, duh. Okay,
I would say that would be that makes sense to
be on the list number six. I don't care anymore. Again, disagree.
(02:49):
I believe that's a really there is sub I just
told somebody on Facebook, cup, you know you're not getting
the point of any of this. I'm done with a conversation.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
That's a situational thing.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah. Translation is I don't care anymore. It worked out
for Phil Collins, it works for me. I don't care
in EMMO, so yeah, I don't. I knew this would happen. Again,
not deeply unhappy, if anything. That's showing that you understand
human nature and know what to expect from people around you.
(03:19):
I knew this would happen. I was ready for it,
already got my contingency plan in place. Okay, I'll pick
you up when you get off work, all right, Yep,
I knew this would happen. That's why the uber app
is on my phone. It's aren't you upset? Now? It
is what it is. I expected that I prepared for.
(03:41):
Number eight is I'm not good enough? Well, yeah, okay,
I would say that's pretty obvious. Number nine, people will
always let you down. Okay, kind of sort of in
a way, I almost sort of agree with that, but
not complete. Anytime the word always or never gets you used,
I'm skeptical right off the bat because there are very
(04:04):
very very very very few things that are always or never.
Would you agree with that, Zachary, I agree people will
always let you down. Say that, No, not always. But
people are also probably the most undependable commodity on the
face of the planet, so it is not unlikely that
(04:26):
they won't let you down, but not always. So that
I got a little semantics issue with that one. Number ten,
do whatever you want to do. I don't consider that
seriously unhappy. I consider that not fighting with the queen.
It's done. It's not unhappy. But there comes a point
(04:47):
where you know what it may just do what you
want to do. I hope it works out for you,
and if it doesn't, as always, I will be here
to clean up the mess and fix whatever has to
be fixed. But do what you want to do. If
this means a lot to you go for it. That's
reasonable considerate advice, isn't it. Zach, do what you want
(05:07):
to do? Say come back, come back it thatch, come back.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I can't leave, okay.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
And the last one on their list is it's too
late for me.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I again, that's not deeply unhappy. I would love to
be a cop, but it's too late for me. That's
not unhappy. That's just again, I'm old, My knees don't work.
I would truly love to serve and protect my fellow
man out here and be out there on the lines
(05:41):
with the people who are serving and protecting each and
every day, because Heaven knows they need backup. But it's
too late for me. And I know that that is
not unhappy. This is a ridiculous list. It is from
your Tango. It's just one of those survey sites that
has things like this on it all the time. But unfortunately,
(06:03):
being that we are in the age of the Internet,
there are people who read this kind of stuff and
this is gospel to them, and they're going to hear
somebody tomorrow say it is what it is. Oh, he
must be deeply depressed. He needs counseling. And that's so sad.
It really is. We fall on this uh mental mattress,
(06:26):
if you will, where we're comfortable judging the world around
us by by what the Internet says and most of
his garbage. Yesterday, on my way in here, I'm behind
(06:47):
a vehicle and it has it has a notice on
the back of it. It's a trailer. And I always,
I always get upset. I'm using the word always because
it is a constant. I always get upset when I
see on the back of a dump truck or a
semi or trailer stay back two hundred feet. Not responsible
(07:09):
for de Britain. Yes you are, Yes, you are. Man
If crap falls off of your truck and hits my
car and I get your license number, I am filing
the police report, I am going to the dash camp
and I am having my insurance becuse to pursue you
to replace my broken windshield or whatever. Stay back two
(07:30):
hundred feet. Why not stay back two hundred feet? I've
been drinking tonight. No, you don't get a pass. This
trailer that I was behind had stay back two hundred feet,
except you had to be like twenty feet or closer
to read the stay back two hundred feet and it's
a little hard to complain about it to the people
(07:51):
you would complain to because the trailer was a police
department trailer, it was a horse trailer. And and then
I'm like, I have to be within twenty feet to
read the notice that says stay back two hundred feet
from the horse trailer, which is silly. Those side windows
(08:12):
were open on the trailer, so the horse, you know,
horses have the long necks. The horse had his head
sticking out, and I'm like, what if some semi gets
too close to him in the opposing lane or whatever,
And that's yeah, man, you shouldn't have that window open
for the horse's head to stick out like that. Yeah,
that's terrible. That should Yeah, windows at the front and
(08:33):
back where they can't that. That was what. And then
and then they I'm not gonna tell you what else
they did, but anyway, h because well that would have
to be out the back. No, I mean, I'm sure
it's probably a civilian drive rainyway, it wasn't actually an officer,
but I just I laughed at the signage. Again, not
(08:54):
only because you had to be within twenty feet to
see the signage that said stay back two hundred feet,
but because I completely disagree with it, and I don't
care if it's on a construction truck or on a
police vehicle, it doesn't matter. Stay back two hundred feet
because stuff may fall off of my vehicle and hit
your vehicle. No, I'm sorry. Let me look in the
(09:15):
O R C here. I don't I don't see where
that's a law that I have to stay back from
your vehicle because of uh, you know, your unsecured load
or whatever. Just ridiculous stuff. Well, apparently I hit a
nerve here. The lines all just lit up. A two
nine at eighty six my number eight two E TV
and let's start with Steve. You're on six to ten
(09:37):
w ETV and high Steve.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Gotcha thanks to again. Hey. The one I don't like
is when people say, uh, I can't wait until Friday?
That why are you wishing your life away? My mom
told me not to say that a long time ago,
when I was you know, youngster, don't don't don't wish
your life fried? Do you get her singing up?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yep?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
It's just always bothered me when people it just totally
even makes sense. You know, really, I can't wait for Friday.
I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I've never
liked it.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
No, I'm with you, I always. I also have a
problem when people go, yeah, I'm just wasting time. You
cannot waste time. There's no such thing as time. Time
is just something we created to measure our existence. You
waste life, you waste life, You don't waste time.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I would totally agree with that too. Hey, I like
the way you mixed it up yesterday too. Man. You
know you're the news of the day, and you really
opened me up and put me in a good moves
like last night. So thank you for that.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I appreciate you telling me that.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Steve, I was gonna call on tell you that too.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
So I appreciate you telling you know we can we
can be as angry and depressed and stressed as we
want to be about the news of the day. Sometimes
you just need to chill and relax. And I tried
to give you one of those last sight.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
And thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
You are very well. If you haven't been on my
Facebook page, go check out the Facebook page watch the
video for the Trumpty Dance. Hey, I'm telling you if
you don't laugh at that, check yourself for a pulse
A two one nine at eighty six A two WTV
and Scott, you're on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com
phone line.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Ty I checked how you doing the ninth?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I am slightly twisted otherwise.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Well, oh boy, twist it's good. Hey, I'm I'm a
veteran driver of thirteen years. If the wheel picks up
a rock or something and it fows off and hits
your windshield and breaks it, it's a road hazard. The
(11:47):
cops won't do anything right now if something if something
falls off the top that is not secured, if you
have the license number and a video, yes, your insurance
company could do something.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
That's what I'm saying. If you're unsecured load or whatever,
I'm going to the dash can and I'm pursuing it.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
But of the times they're not going to do anything.
They just say it's a road hazard.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, and that can happen to any of us. I
don't You could be on a mopad and hit a
rock man. That's uh, that's the kind of thing that happens.
But a lot of times you'll see, especially the dump trucks.
And I've got two friends that are dump truck drivers,
and they know how much I hate this. But when
the you know, they get loaded up at the construction
site or whatever and they're going down the road and
the tailgate's not secured or whatever, and there's gravel pouring
out the tailgates. They're going down the freeway and it's
(12:36):
all coming back and against the car. Yeah, you got
to be responsible for that. I shouldn't have to stay
back to on her feet.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
A lot of times when they load them, it's graveled,
it's laying on the edge of the bed, not coming out,
and so that they really can't secure. That's why they
say stay back. A lot of them they just say
fifty feet, but you know the two hundred feet. Yeah,
(13:05):
you have to be up like twenty feet away to
read the things. I agree with you on that, but
you know, my best advice is, if you're running behind
a truck or a trailer or something like that, stay
back and least fifty feet because they could always pick
something up off the road and throw it back.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I got you, Scott, you'd be careful out there on
the road, buddy. I appreciate your call to night
