Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, how are you? Cup of tea? Lave Chuck, dougcle
Sims for the Power Hour six TENU WUTVN eight two
one nine eight eighty six my number eight two one
WUTV and and uh I. You know, I don't want
to laugh at someone's bad luck or misfortune or whatever.
(00:22):
But every time artificial intelligence aiye bites itself in the
cyber butt, I get a little joy out of it,
just because you know, everybody's way. Oh, it's the way
the feel all these videos, these social media videos, whether
it's you know, the Twitter or the Instagram or the
TikTok or the Facebook, doesn't matter, but they've got the narration.
(00:43):
You know, this man came home and found this in
his home. Man, I think it's supposed to be like
an AI Morgan freemonition. Everybody's using that voice, and as
soon as that voice comes on, I swipe. I'm not
going whatever you're trying to sell me, I will swipe
away from because I'm sick of hearing that voice on everything.
(01:04):
There's even television commercials using it. Very annoying. So as
I'm going through the YouTube earlier today I was up.
I was actually looking for some old music performances. If
you're on my Facebook page, you'll notice I posted Johnny
Mathis for his eighty eighth birthday, still sounding wonderful. And
(01:26):
I was looking for some music on YouTube and you
have to watch the commercials, the little cyber commercials there
before something. Then you can skip the ad after like
ten seconds or whatever. Well, this ad comes on and
I'm looking at this guy and I'm like, he ha, ariel,
that's artificial intelligence right there, and he's selling this product.
Now I'm like, yeah, okay, just just wait, just and
(01:48):
he goes. As a matter of fact, our company does
live events all over the state. I'm like, wait a minute,
live events.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Somebody type that in wrong when they're feeding it.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, well, I mean the computer program is going to
read live or live and apparently that that particular code
does not get contact texts. So yeah, hosts live events
all over the state. And I burst it out with laughter.
I just you know, we take the human equation out
(02:19):
of so much in society these days that when it's
done in media and it bites them, I find some
joy in it. I really do. I've said, you know
for probably a couple of years now, ever since they
started talking about nil and sports, collegiate sports. I believe
(02:41):
we need NIL in the media industry because I don't want,
you know, my grandkids turning on the radio in fifty
years and hearing Paul Paul's voice doing something hawking some
product for somebody. And I actually I turned myself into
an a voice over the weekend just to see what
(03:01):
it sounded like. It sounds quite a bit like me,
but I would know in a heartbeat it's not me,
and I think anybody who really knows me would know
it's not me. But it's going to get better, and
eventually there will come a day when it will be
pretty much perfect. That I don't like that, which is
(03:27):
why I get joy out of things like we do events.
We do live events all over this day. There's a
bunch of news today the media is going to hammer
you with and you're going to hear but it started today.
You're going to hear about this at least this week.
And that is about the Republicans that are turning tail
and running from Donald Trump and tariffs and all this.
(03:49):
There's actually a bill they're working on in the House,
sponsored primarily by a Democrat. However, several Republican members of
the House have signed on. You're hearing Ted Cruise is
name thrown around a lot because he's been such an
adimant voice for the Trump administration. They figure, hey, if
Ted turns a bit, if we can convince people that
Ted is turning against him, they'll turn against him. To
(04:15):
Mitch McConnell last week issued some stupid statement. It was
a short statement, took him several hours because it's Mitch McConnell,
but it was all I or said. I don't believe
terrors are the right thing to do. And you know,
and sorry, I know you're a Kentucky guy, but I
(04:39):
can't believe Kentucky sent that guy back. They're trying to.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Make it that charisma can get past.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
That turtles look at him and go seriously, they're trying
to make it sound like, seem like, feel like there
is some sort of u uh, what do you call it?
When the when the ship been mutiny? There you go,
that is happening. Don't believe it, don't believe it. A
(05:08):
Republican member of Congress who is overheard somewhere going, man,
I'm a little nervous. I hope this works will be
a headline. The next day, Congressman expresses doubt and Trump
planned don't believe it. Is it going to get a
little bumpy, Probably as bumpy as they're trying to make
(05:29):
you believe it's going to get doubtful? Is everything in
your world going to crash? Maybe? But I don't think
it's as likely as it's being portrayed. And quite frankly,
I'll be honest with you right now, what I see
coming up as opportunity. If stocks continue to go down,
(05:50):
they might come down to the level where you can
buy a few shares. And believe me, while I am
not a stockbroker or licensed to represent myself as such,
in Vidia we'll go back up, Tesla will go back up,
Intel we'll go back up. Oil stocks will go back.
You get my meaning. But if you couldn't buy Tesla
(06:13):
at four hundred dollars a share, maybe you can swing
a few shares. If it's down to one fifty, maybe
you can put together five hundred, six hundred bucks four
shares of Tesla. Well that it cost me six hundred
dollars at one hundred and fifty dollars, Yes, it would.
And when it goes back up to where it was
and probably passed where it was, and it's going to
be worth twenty four to twenty five hundred dollars for
(06:34):
your six hundred dollars investment. That's what the stock market
is about. These technological companies are technological companies because they
deal in what technology, and we are all about the technology,
whether it's EV, satellite sell communications. They're already talking about
(06:56):
what are they skipping six G and talking about ten
G cell phones and all this crap man. Technology is
always going to lead the way in all kinds of
other industries because it affects the technology, effects communications, it
effects transportation, it affects every aspect of our light. What
(07:16):
is your kitchen counter going to be made out of
in a year and a half. It's all technology. And
those companies that are are tech heavy companies, especially the
big boys, they'll be back. They will be back. And
if we go to all EV's and say, oh, what's
going to happen if we go to all evs and well,
(07:38):
Japan likely won't, China likely won't, India likely won't, and
they're all buying more oil than the United States. India
just change his name to crude because they're sucking down
a lot of oil in India. But even if our
cars are not running on it in a decade. Look
(08:00):
look around you right now, wherever you are, just look around.
I guarantee you within ten seconds you've seen at least
two oil based products, the plastics and vinyls that we live.
That stuff you put your food in your leftover food, Yeah,
that's made out of oil. I didn't know that. Well,
(08:20):
now you do. Don't give up the ship. Don't believe
the panic. Don't freak out.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
What if they start creating evy tupperware?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
What about that ev tupperware? Does it drive itself to
the refrigerator?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
It heats things up?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I would buy a set. I would buy a set.
I missed you in fact, that's that's another one of
my things. If I can. You know, the real estate
market comes back pretty strong before this summer is over with,
I get a few houses sold. That's one of my splurges.
It's not a necessity, it's just something I want. And
that's a kitchen full of tupperware. Like mom had tupperware,
had something for everything.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Instead of going out and partying. Where you're younger, did
you have tupperware parties?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Mom had a few.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Well that's your mom.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, she was. She was very very uh, very suburban.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
There's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Was she had her Tupperware parties, and she had she
was a March of Dimes block captains, so every year
she was out there with the March of Dimes collecting
dimes in her little book for that charity. And she
was a member of the PTA, and she was a
room mother and she did all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
That's nice.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
But the tupperware stuff was awesome because first of all,
everything had a lid, which I loved, even the cups.
They had these tumblers. I think they might have been
twelve ounces fourteen ounce tumblers, but they had lids. So
you could put your kool aid and stuff in them
and put the cups in the in the cooler and
go to the picnic or whatever and have boom, there's
your cup. You don't have to pour anything or whatever.
(09:47):
Tupperware is a great product. I miss it. I mean
it's still out there, and I know it's expensive now
you don't see it nearly as much as you used
to because people buy the Stirlite stuff or the rubber
Maid stuff. But yeah, if I just I got a
few hundred bucks, I could just splurge on something. Goofy,
it would be a kitchen full of tupperware, because that's
the guy I am. Anything you need to throw at me,
(10:09):
Are you over there selling all your stocks and bonds
and getting rid of your your supply chain for your
over repair and all that? You know?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Just looking at if they sell tupperware?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You know who near here? I don't know that there's
a Tupperware store.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
There's Tupperware dot tupperware dot com.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah, everything's online these days. Yeah. I was traveling around
in northern Ohio a few years ago. I don't even
know what town I was in, but I came across
a rubber Maid store which was just like, oh my gosh,
I heard a choir of angels.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Did you go in?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I didn't have time. I had I had other stuff
going on, but I like, does that say what I
think it says? And I pulled and it was a
store of nothing but rubber Maid containers.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That I understand the dot. This is gonna sound weird.
I have driven past Niagara Falls multiple times that have
never stopped because I've never had time.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You're gonna have to extend your trip by a day
next time.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I know, but it's just regardless of where I was going.
When I passed right through there, I didn't have time.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
To I've never been to Niagara Fall as one of
our natural wonders. I have never seen or been to
the Grand Canyon, or been to Yellowstone or I gotta.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Travel more Grand Canyons.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Great when you get up at three in the morning
when you're in Phoenix and you drive all the way
there and it's rainy and foggy, and then you pay
thirty bucks and they let you look, and you get
to one of the edges and you can't see anything
because it's foggy.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
It's fantastic.
