  Speaker 1: 22 away from the top of the hour, Chuck Douglas
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: and the Power Hour, 610 WTV and the number 821-9886. 821-WTV,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: and I had mentioned with Mark earlier that the Lionel
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Richie show with the Earth, Wind & Fire had been canceled.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: And then I was just checking out TMZ here, reporting
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: back in the hospital. So that would explain why. 77-year-old
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: singer underwent a minimally invasive procedure known as an ablation procedure.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: to treat a condition here of being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: My gosh, I can never say it. Fibrillation. An irregular heartbeat, basically.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: His representative confirmed the hospitalization, the procedure. The doctor said
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: everything went perfectly. The representative added, Richie is doing great,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: but will take some time away from performing. The health
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: issue also affected Richie's ongoing sing-all-night-long tour with Earth, Wind
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: & Fire. Of course it did. Just as I said
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: about Rod Stewart, I say about Lionel Richie. It's old.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: You're old. Stop. Stop. It was great when it was,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: but now it no longer is. Well, my friends, the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: time has come. Stop it. You're too old. Live as
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: long as you possibly can and enjoy your life and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: your riches. Keep being a voice of America's Most Wanted
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: or whatever. Where is he a judge? I forget what
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: he's a judge on. Looney Tunes or something like that.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: But keep doing that, you know, because it doesn't take
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of stress. You sit in a chair. You
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: watch any of those shows?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: All I heard, because there was a phone call, and
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: all I heard was.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, a phone call. Who is it? Let me get
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: him on. Who is it? Oh, there's nobody on there.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I don't see anybody on there. It was nobody on there.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Anyway, all I heard was Looney Tunes and something.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: About the FBI. Lionel Richie, he's a contestant judge on
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: what is it? Is it America's Got Talent or Britain's
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Got Bad Teeth? I can't remember. And everybody in America
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: right now listening, I can't believe he said we have
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: bad teeth. Just a joke, people. It was either Britain
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: or West Virginia. But he's a judge on one of
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: those shows.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Do you know which one?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: No, it doesn't matter. They're all the same.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: They are pretty much all the same. Star Search, which
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: was before your time, Ed McMahon was the host of
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Star Search.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I remember Star Search. He's on American Idol, by the way.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Is it American Idol? Okay. I loved Star Search because
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: it was the only thing doing what it was doing
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: back then. Unfortunately, not only did it, you know, it
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: gave us Sinbad. I was happy about that. It also
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: gave us Rosie O'Donnell. And I just, I've never forgiven
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Ed McMahon for that.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: In fact, you know, if he was here today, I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: would tell him that. Hey-o! Hey-o! Hermetically sealed in a
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: mayonnaise jar on Funko Wagonel's back porch. I used to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: love that. The Carnac thing he did with it. Carson
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: would open up an envelope, tear open an envelope, and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: he'd put the envelope to his head, and he'd give
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the answer. Sis Boomba. Sis Boomba, you said? Sis Boomba.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And then he would tear open the envelope. Name the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: sound made by an exploding sheep. I'll never forget that one.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: It was hilarious.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Classic bit that they did that was really good.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It was. Really good. It was very, very funny.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: There's so many of them on YouTube. That's how I
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: discovered a lot of that.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Obviously. Do you ever watch Foster Brooks stuff on YouTube? No. Dude,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: go watch Foster Brooks. He was a fake drunk. And
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: he was one of the funniest things in the world.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: He would come out and he'd... He was ripped, but
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: he wasn't really. That was his shtick. Okay. And, yeah,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: he was a very, very funny guy, too. But he
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: came from that same era. He used to be on
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Carson all the time and did a lot of the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Dean Martin roast and things like that. Everybody had a
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: niche thing. Don Rickles was the insult guy. Foster Brooks
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: was the drunk guy. Dean Martin, who rarely drank, by
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the way, on stage, always had a drink in his hand,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't really liquor. Now, in later years, especially
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: after Dean Paul was killed, he did start drinking. But
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: he was not a big drinker. He just always had
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: on his TV show, you know, iced tea or apple
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: juice or something in a glass acting like that was
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: his shtick. Everybody loves somebody sometimes. That was his thing.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: You don't remember no Dean Martin, though, do you?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: No, I do not remember Dean Martin as it happened.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: City of Philadelphia is reporting two possible measles exposures within
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a week. Two in a week? Latest Philadelphia International Airport
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: exposure took place at terminals B and F, as well
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: as areas used to connect other terminals C, D, and E.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm on the electric company or Sesame Street.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: On Sunday, September 13th, about 7.45 p.m. to Sunday, September
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: 14th at 12.05 a.m., according to the Philadelphia Department of Health,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: The individual with measles was traveling through Philadelphia and did
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: not leave the airport. Health officials encouraged those who were
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: potentially exposed to check their vaccination status and watch for symptoms.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: This was the second reported measles exposure in the Philadelphia
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: area after the first case reported September 17th at Children's
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Hospital of Philadelphia. It's measles. The thing of it is,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: is the headline. This is the headline from Fox News,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: mind you. For the story I just read you. Ready?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: World's most contagious virus hits major U.S. airport as officials
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: warn of possible exposure.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Measles isn't the most contagious virus.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Why do they have to blow up everything and try
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to make it sound like more than it is? Okay,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I know in very rare instances, measles can be fatal
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to some people. But those instances are very rare. And
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the majority of people in this country are vaccinated against measles.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I didn't mean to laugh at that. I said that's
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: not the most– it is technically the most contagious virus.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: But it's not– what's the– it's not.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: It's measles. When I was a kid, if somebody got measles,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: they took you over to play with them so you'd
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: get them too and get it out of the way.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Same thing with chicken pox.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I had chicken pox.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Billy has chicken pox. Oh, I'll send Chucky over to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: play with him right now. Get it over with.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I had it twice, though.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: You had chicken pox twice? Yeah. That's odd.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I know, right? The person down the street, two houses down,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: a girl that was older than me got them twice, too.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe they were just chick pox. They weren't full-grown chicken
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: pox when you got them the first time.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: That's fair. Could have been something else. We just called
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: it chicken pox.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I just can't believe the inflammatory headline. Most contagious virus
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: hits major U.S. Air Force. Officials warn of possible exposure.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Stop it. It's measles, for goodness sake. 821-WTV and the number. Deb,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: you're on the LegacyVetirementGroup.com phone lines. How are you?
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: I'm good. I've got to stop laughing here for a
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: minute because you guys remind me of Abbott and Costello.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: But anyway.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Hey, Abbott.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Costello.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Hey, you're talking about Lionel Richie. You know, it was...
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: American Idol, yeah, he's a good guy. But you know
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: what gets my goat? I'm not a soccer fan or
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: anything like that, but Lionel Messi, who's the big guy now,
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: big soccer guy.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes, yes, I know that.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Well, you probably didn't recognize me saying his name, but
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: his mom was a fan of Lionel Richie growing up.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And she named him Lionel. Really?
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know you like little small trivia stuff. But
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: everybody now, when they see his name on the news,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: they try to pronounce it in a certain sort of way.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, that's.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Not his name.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, don't you love it when the reporters, you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: it could be some, lost my shoes, Alabama. That's where
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the TV stay. And we're reporting on what's going on.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: The pitcher in the game was Fernando Compendente. Stop it.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Stop it. Quit trying to fake accent.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: His name is Lionel Messi, the great soccer player. It's Lionel.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: It's not however everybody wants to figure out a way
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: to pronounce. It's Lionel. He was named after Lionel Richie.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: You know, I appreciate that, Deb, and you're right. I
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: love those little trivial type things like that. Thank you
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: very much because I've never heard that before. And I
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: know Messi is up. especially with the young kids out
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: there playing soccer. He is the Pele of this generation.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I think worldwide he's like one of the most popular athletes.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw CBS Sunday Morning did a big spread
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: on him one time, and he seems like a nice guy. Yeah.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Seems like a very cool guy.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I saw one dude on Instagram or Facebook or whatever,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: he was in the stands like himself.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: He's at a game, and Messi was like 500 rows
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: away on the field playing, and he took a picture,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: and he's like, I got a selfie with Messi. And
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: people loved it.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Millions of likes. It was great.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: When I was a kid, soccer was just starting to
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: get noticed. And the guy's name, they just, Pele. I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: don't know what his full name was, but he was
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the one that everybody was talking about back then.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I remember, I don't remember him, but other than that,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I can't, I've just, I'm just not a soccer person.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I've never, yeah, I've just, I've tried, especially with the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: kids and grandkids. I've tried, but I have not one to, uh,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you know, sit down and watch it on TV or
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: anything like this. Mary, you're on the LegacyRetirementGroup.com phone line.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Hi.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Hi, Chuck.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: I just got a... the reason why they're exploding diseases
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: right now, like with the measles. It's because it's election time,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: you know, they got to put the fear in the
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: people of going out and get those mail-in votings in
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: and that kind of stuff.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I thought about that, too, but that
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: seems more like a, you know, support the Democrats type
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: of maneuver. And this was Fox News with that ridiculous headline,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: which really confused me.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, well, Fox can do that, too, you.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Know, sometimes.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: I quit watching Fox because of that reason, too. They
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: can exaggerate as well.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I don't watch it much. But, Mary, you know why? Here,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: this is the trite reason I quit watching Fox News
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: on an irregular basis. Every woman that they hired on
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Fox was a hot blonde with nice legs.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: So you quit watching, I'm sorry.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, because you know what? I don't watch news to
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: see legs and stuff. I didn't like the fact that
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: it was a clone factory.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Weirdly enough, that's when I started watching it.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: But it was like a clone factory. All the women
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: fit into this same appearance category, and it bugged me.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: So that's when I started watching news.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Well, you're a good man, Chuck.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not good. I'm twisted. I'm just twisted is what
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I am. Thanks very much for the call.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Well, we like you that way.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. You have a great evening. I
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: know it sounds crazy, but I am a Potsy. I
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: will always be a Potsy. You know who Potsy is?
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Like the sweater ladies.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Yes. Potsy was on Happy Days. And Richie and Ralph
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: were Googling over this girl in Arnold's one night. And
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: she walks by and, you know, she's a pretty girl.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And Potsy goes, Wouldn't you love to see her in
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: a tight sweater? And she was wearing like a bikini
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: top thing.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's one of those classy versus whatever. Women
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: can wear what they want. Don't get me wrong, ladies.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I'm a potsy.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Some people think differently.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just a potsy. Too many blondes for me.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I'm a free the nipple guy, so we need to
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: get on that.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you don't apply that to people you're looking at.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: You apply that to yourself, which is one of the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: reasons HR keeps getting called on you.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Well, that's why they won't let me have a camera
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: in studio broadcast.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
