Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I'm Chuck Douglass, you know who you are. We take
- 0:01Speaker 1: it from there.
- 0:02Speaker 2: We get one hour together, which means I talk really
- 0:04Speaker 2: fast and you must listen even faster. My number eight
- 0:07Speaker 2: two one nine, eight eighty six, eight two one dou
- 0:09Speaker 2: wutv in or eight hundred and six to ten dou WUTV.
- 0:11Speaker 2: And so very much on my mind today, including the
- 0:13Speaker 2: parking space thing. We were talking about the handicapped parking
- 0:16Speaker 2: placard for pregnant women in OHI. Yeah, I got a
- 0:19Speaker 2: problem with it anyway, I'll get into that. I got
- 0:22Speaker 2: a tragic story. Really, it's a si it's a trap,
- 0:24Speaker 2: but it's it's really I mean, it's tragic, but it
- 0:27Speaker 2: got me thinking.
- 0:29Speaker 1: If I knew this was it, this was the end.
- 0:32Speaker 2: I'm finished. I'm through, I'm done in this situation. I
- 0:36Speaker 2: think I'd have a little fun with it, and I
- 0:38Speaker 2: just I want to see if I'm twisted or maybe
- 0:39Speaker 2: somebody out there goes you know what, that's that's actually
- 0:41Speaker 2: a good idea. So I want to talk to you
- 0:43Speaker 2: about that San Francisco judge. I got to talk to
- 0:46Speaker 2: you about this San Francisco judge who is considering releasing
- 0:50Speaker 2: this idiot he was, he was convicted bag he was
- 0:53Speaker 2: arrested back in twenty twenty. First of all, struck two
- 0:56Speaker 2: women with his car high on the methruck two, killed them,
- 1:02Speaker 2: killed them. And he's been in jail for five years
- 1:05Speaker 2: now and the judge is considering letting him out on
- 1:09Speaker 2: early release. By the way, he's a ninety one time felon.
- 1:15Speaker 2: This is what's wrong with.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Everybody but me A two one nine eighty six my number.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Let's get into the the bill that Blazer was talking about.
- 1:25Speaker 2: This what they want to do is give a temporary
- 1:28Speaker 2: handicap parking permit to the pregnant women. First of all,
- 1:32Speaker 2: I call byes because it's twenty twenty five, and if
- 1:35Speaker 2: I want to be a pregnant woman, I could be
- 1:36Speaker 2: a pregnant woman. Really, who's gonna tell me I'm not.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Who's gonna tell me if I'm a pregnant woman. If
- 1:43Speaker 2: that's how I identify, then I want the placard. Secondly,
- 1:46Speaker 2: instead of five dollars like everybody else pays for their
- 1:49Speaker 2: handicap placard, it cost eight dollars for the pregnant woman.
- 1:53Speaker 2: So it's a money grab. What are you discriminating against
- 1:57Speaker 2: because it's a woman, or because it's a pregnant person
- 2:00Speaker 2: or a birth giver as they call them these days,
- 2:04Speaker 2: Why is it eight dollars for them? I meant only
- 2:06Speaker 2: five dollars for somebody who has the arthritis or you know,
- 2:11Speaker 2: a limb missing or something. Why that doesn't make any
- 2:13Speaker 2: sense to me either. I think it's discriminatory on its surface. Finally,
- 2:20Speaker 2: I'm sick of seeing people abuse those placards. I said
- 2:25Speaker 2: skipping earlier, but I mean, you know what I mean.
- 2:28Speaker 2: When you see somebody pull it into a parking space
- 2:32Speaker 2: with a handicap placard and.
- 2:33Speaker 1: They get out and they're just you know.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Walking fine, no problems, zippity as they enter the establishment,
- 2:43Speaker 2: even if they have some sort of handicap.
- 2:46Speaker 1: It's obviously not acting up that day.
- 2:49Speaker 2: They could park a few spaces down so that somebody
- 2:52Speaker 2: who perhaps isn't moving well that day could use the
- 2:55Speaker 2: handicap parking closer to the venue or the store or
- 2:59Speaker 2: whatever it is that you're trying to. By the way,
- 3:01Speaker 2: can I zach check the check the rules. Can I
- 3:04Speaker 2: still say handicap parking because that isn't handicapped?
- 3:08Speaker 1: Isn't that derogatory?
- 3:09Speaker 2: Is it?
- 3:10Speaker 1: Handy capable parking. That Scott's what I would say. You
- 3:12Speaker 1: have to be on the safe side.
- 3:13Speaker 2: I don't want to be insulting to the handicapped people.
- 3:16Speaker 2: You corrected yourself and said birthing person, which I appreciate.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Person out to call HR on it.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Well, you know, I want to be fair minded with
- 3:23Speaker 2: this whole thing. But people abuse those things to begin with.
- 3:26Speaker 2: I think that, you know, Look, everybody can be everything,
- 3:31Speaker 2: identify as anything they want to identify all that bs
- 3:34Speaker 2: these days, Why should you need a doctor's excuse? Why
- 3:38Speaker 2: should you be able to violate someone's hip of protections
- 3:41Speaker 2: by insisting that they tell you what's wrong with them
- 3:44Speaker 2: before you give them that blackcard? Why can't they just
- 3:46Speaker 2: say I need it and you give it to them.
- 3:52Speaker 1: I'm waiting for an answer. There's no answer.
- 3:56Speaker 2: And why charge a pregnant woman more Now, I know
- 4:01Speaker 2: somebody with a business, somebody who deals with the business,
- 4:03Speaker 2: and they've got parking in their parking lot, and they've
- 4:05Speaker 2: got handicapped spaces out there, and they've got somebody who
- 4:09Speaker 2: comes there a.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Lot, a whole lot.
- 4:11Speaker 2: And he was born he was born back sometime before
- 4:15Speaker 2: the Civil War. He's not the most mobile person in
- 4:17Speaker 2: the world. But he's there all the time. He doesn't
- 4:20Speaker 2: get any special parking. Eric Delbert from LAPD Firearms arranged
- 4:23Speaker 2: nine ninety nine methel Road is the man I'm talking about.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Eric. You know as well as I do, people abuse
- 4:28Speaker 1: those spaces.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Chuckie, you hit a nerve with me today. This is
- 4:33Speaker 3: one of my main pet piece at the store. My office,
- 4:36Speaker 3: as you know, overlooks the handicapped spots, and literally sixty
- 4:41Speaker 3: percent of the people that I see pulling into the
- 4:43Speaker 3: spots every day, I wonder how they got to pass.
- 4:47Speaker 3: I don't know if his grandma's passed or what. And
- 4:50Speaker 3: as you mentioned, we have the gentleman who comes every
- 4:52Speaker 3: Saturday for the show eighty nine years old and he
- 4:56Speaker 3: parks across the lot and walks in. It is something
- 4:59Speaker 3: that every day you ask for our employeed. I'm like,
- 5:01Speaker 3: oh my goodness, look at this guys.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Does he have a handicap placard?
- 5:08Speaker 2: No.
- 5:08Speaker 3: I asked him about it recently and his words were,
- 5:10Speaker 3: and I'm sure you could hear him say this, Why
- 5:13Speaker 3: do I need one of those? I'm not handy.
- 5:15Speaker 1: There you go.
- 5:15Speaker 2: See, that's what I love about that old dude And
- 5:17Speaker 2: he'll get in the car and he turns up the
- 5:19Speaker 2: speakers real allow listen into some hip hop out in
- 5:21Speaker 2: the parking lot. No, it's actually I think Nat King Cole.
- 5:24Speaker 2: But still, you know, he's a lively old gentleman. He's
- 5:28Speaker 2: not necessarily spry, as you said, he's eighty nine years old,
- 5:31Speaker 2: but you know he's served in the military, he's worked
- 5:35Speaker 2: hard his whole life, and he don't want you stinking placard.
- 5:38Speaker 2: But if he wanted one, it would sure would be
- 5:40Speaker 2: nice for him to be able to park there and
- 5:42Speaker 2: get himself inside instead of seeing people get out with
- 5:44Speaker 2: a placard in their window that obviously are not hurting
- 5:47Speaker 2: in any way.
- 5:49Speaker 3: Chuck, I've actually gone, and it's probably not politically correct,
- 5:52Speaker 3: but we have several individuals in wheelchairs who come to
- 5:55Speaker 3: our store frequently, and I have seen them have the
- 5:59Speaker 3: park lost the parking lot, and I've gone in and
- 6:02Speaker 3: gone up to people I've seen and says, hey, you know,
- 6:05Speaker 3: are you the one in the handicap spile? I have
- 6:07Speaker 3: someone in the wheelchair, you know, would you consider moving?
- 6:10Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know how they're getting them, but
- 6:13Speaker 3: it is. It's happening all the time. And it seems
- 6:16Speaker 3: to be individuals between twenty and thirty. And it's not
- 6:19Speaker 3: to say that someone between twenty and thirty can't have
- 6:22Speaker 3: some type of handicap or physical ability that that warrants it.
- 6:26Speaker 3: But I tell you there is a lot to have
- 6:29Speaker 3: them who appear to be abusing them.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Yeah, and if it's not acting up that day, you know,
- 6:34Speaker 2: say your prayers, be thankful for that, and don't take
- 6:37Speaker 2: up that space when maybe somebody else who is having
- 6:39Speaker 2: a problem that they needs it more than you. Absolutely,
- 6:43Speaker 2: And plus it's it's LVPD firearms. Just come out and say, hey,
- 6:46Speaker 2: get out of that space. I either go shoot to
- 6:48Speaker 2: my little friend.
- 6:50Speaker 4: Right.
- 6:53Speaker 1: I will see you soon, buddy, it's been a while.
- 6:55Speaker 1: I miss you.
- 6:56Speaker 3: Yes, miss you too.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Check you talk to you later.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Eight eight one WTV and Chris, you're on six to
- 7:02Speaker 2: n WTV.
- 7:03Speaker 4: In Chuck, my brother, How you doing.
- 7:06Speaker 2: I am fine as far as I know, but I
- 7:08Speaker 2: try not to ask too many questions.
- 7:09Speaker 4: Actually, well, I got an answer for you. On the
- 7:13Speaker 4: whole handicapped parking, It is no longer called handicapped parking.
- 7:19Speaker 4: It is called mobility challenged.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Can they get that on the sign?
- 7:25Speaker 4: Yes, it's on the sign I have a one of
- 7:28Speaker 4: my doctor's offices is up in Upper Arlington and it's
- 7:31Speaker 4: a brand new facility, brand new building, brand new road
- 7:34Speaker 4: around it, and the parking out back it is a
- 7:37Speaker 4: mobility challenged parking.
- 7:40Speaker 1: Wow.
- 7:41Speaker 4: Now what I don't understand because it doesn't it's not
- 7:44Speaker 4: your regular handicapped parking sign that's there. It's a green
- 7:49Speaker 4: and white sign. And it makes me wonder, Okay, is
- 7:54Speaker 4: this is just something that if a person pulls up,
- 7:57Speaker 4: maybe you should be considered of somebody or or I
- 8:01Speaker 4: don't know. I'm stuck because there isn't even a picture
- 8:03Speaker 4: of a wheelchair or anything anymore.
- 8:05Speaker 2: I'll have to, you know, I'll check into that. It
- 8:07Speaker 2: maybe just be something they're doing there just to try
- 8:09Speaker 2: to be considered of their clientele.
- 8:13Speaker 4: It's hard to tell. It could be six and one
- 8:14Speaker 4: and a half a dozen of another. I don't know.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Yeah, there are times, and you know, I just I'm
- 8:18Speaker 2: not I'm not a sob story kind of guy, but
- 8:20Speaker 2: I got you know, I'm pretty sure.
- 8:22Speaker 1: I still really don't know, but I'm pretty.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Sure it's got to do with the sciatic nerve on
- 8:26Speaker 2: my back and and my left leg.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Chris sometimes it hurts so bad, I just I want
- 8:31Speaker 1: to tear up. It's terrible.
- 8:32Speaker 4: But you know, hey, well brother, i'll tell you what.
- 8:34Speaker 4: I'll tell you where I'm at right now. I have
- 8:35Speaker 4: a degenerat disc disease. I have a fifteen count of
- 8:39Speaker 4: fifteen stints in my heart. Oh I'm sitting here in
- 8:44Speaker 4: my car looking at my handicapped placard, and yes, I
- 8:47Speaker 4: do use it. I don't use it all the time,
- 8:49Speaker 4: but when there's situations where it's parking lots full, guess
- 8:53Speaker 4: we're on parking.
- 8:56Speaker 2: But if you're if you're feeling good that day and
- 8:58Speaker 2: and you don't need the space, okay, See, that's all
- 9:02Speaker 2: I'm asking is if you don't.
- 9:03Speaker 4: If my backs lined up and I'm feeling you know, froggy,
- 9:06Speaker 4: and hey we get out, we jumped, and.
- 9:08Speaker 1: I'll good you're my kind of guy.
- 9:11Speaker 4: Then yes, sir brother, Hey, families on me heading up
- 9:14Speaker 4: to Michigan here soon again. I'll see if I can stop.
- 9:17Speaker 2: All right, Chris, I appreciate you, Thank you very much.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Be careful out there. You know, it's again when I
- 9:24Speaker 2: get flair ups, it hurts, It hurts really bad. It
- 9:26Speaker 2: hurts really really bad. But Honestly, unless unless I was
- 9:34Speaker 2: prone to just falling down from the pain, I'm hard hitded,
- 9:37Speaker 2: I probably would never get one of those placards, because
- 9:41Speaker 2: no matter how bad off I think I am, I'm
- 9:44Speaker 2: sure that there are always people worse off than me
- 9:46Speaker 2: in one way or another. I'm gonna make it wherever
- 9:48Speaker 2: I gotta make it, and that's you know, that's just
- 9:52Speaker 2: how Charlie Son deals with things. But for those people
- 9:56Speaker 2: that you know, may have the same thing and just
- 9:58Speaker 2: don't have that kind of determination or so forth, if
- 10:02Speaker 2: they had the placard and it was really painting them
- 10:05Speaker 2: that day, that's fine. But if they weren't, if they
- 10:08Speaker 2: took you know, the tail and all the leave whatever
- 10:10Speaker 2: they take, and they were feeling good and didn't need it,
- 10:12Speaker 2: I would hope they'd be decent enough to park two
- 10:14Speaker 2: spaces down so somebody who was really hurting that day
- 10:17Speaker 2: could could get a little bit closer. H two one
- 10:20Speaker 2: nine eight eight six hwoy WTV and Mary Or on
- 10:23Speaker 2: the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone lines hell, lou
- 10:26Speaker 2: I chucked.
- 10:28Speaker 5: I just wanted to comment, my mom's got one of
- 10:31Speaker 5: those handicapped placards, and my sister uses that work. I mean,
- 10:35Speaker 5: she has the little hip problems every once in a while,
- 10:37Speaker 5: but you know, and and there's not very many handicaps
- 10:41Speaker 5: at work, so I don't really say much to her
- 10:43Speaker 5: about it. But yeah, there's a lot of people use
- 10:46Speaker 5: their mothers or their grandparents placers and parking those handicapped spots.
- 10:51Speaker 1: And that See, that's just wrong, that's wrong.
- 10:54Speaker 2: And I, as I said, I know somebody personally that
- 10:57Speaker 2: they've got a kid that qualifies for handicap parking. They're
- 11:00Speaker 2: not in any way, shape or form handicapped. They could
- 11:02Speaker 2: go climb a mountain, but they even when they're just
- 11:05Speaker 2: by themselves, if they pull into the store, they will
- 11:07Speaker 2: park in that space because they've got their placard. And
- 11:09Speaker 2: that's that's just it's dishonorable. Can you still use that
- 11:14Speaker 2: word dishonorable?
- 11:15Speaker 5: Yes, I would say so. Yes, I'm old school.
- 11:20Speaker 2: I appreciate you married, but thank you. And straighten your
- 11:22Speaker 2: sister out for me, will you, because she's she's she's
- 11:25Speaker 2: being dishonorable. Ed you are on six ten double the
- 11:27Speaker 2: UTV and.

- 12:01Speaker 3: I might.
- 12:03Speaker 6: I got one other quick question. I tried to get
- 12:06Speaker 6: a hold of you guys a while back when you
- 12:08Speaker 6: talking about these kid boys. Remember mister Grass.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Oh yes, mister Graf he was. He used to come
- 12:15Speaker 2: to your door if you weren't in school, that true
- 12:17Speaker 2: officer West High School.
- 12:18Speaker 1: He'd come get you.
- 12:20Speaker 6: Yes, yes he would. Do you think those kid boys
- 12:23Speaker 6: would be doing that back then?
- 12:25Speaker 4: If?
- 12:26Speaker 6: Oh no, well, I mean not, I mean not back then,
- 12:29Speaker 6: I mean right now, if he was still alive.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Not at all, not at all.
- 12:33Speaker 2: We I mean, all of society was different back to
- 12:36Speaker 2: we had Graf as the truant officer and Donald Schreil
- 12:40Speaker 2: who was the vice principal. And he didn't he sound
- 12:43Speaker 2: didn't he sound like Burgess Meredith as the penguin and Batman?
- 12:47Speaker 1: You can't get you can't smoke back here, and.
- 12:53Speaker 2: But you know there was they were president in your life,
- 12:56Speaker 2: and they they would call your parents and don't let
- 12:59Speaker 2: dad here and did something bad because Dad would would
- 13:01Speaker 2: take care of you after the school got done, taking
- 13:03Speaker 2: care of you exactly.
- 13:06Speaker 6: And you didn't want mister bat to get ahold of
- 13:08Speaker 6: you because I've seen him drib a couple of people
- 13:10Speaker 6: up back in the day. And yeah they back then, yes, yeah,
- 13:15Speaker 6: he wouldn't.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Innuit that nowadays, No, you wouldn't. But you deserved it
- 13:18Speaker 1: back then, and you know it. That's why you got it.

- 13:34Speaker 2: feel free to do so. Eight two one nine eight
- 13:36Speaker 2: six h two one WTV. And also a tragic story.
- 13:39Speaker 2: I mean, somebody lost their life, but it's one of
- 13:42Speaker 2: those tragic stories. It's so stupid. It made me think
- 13:46Speaker 2: I wonder what I would do in that same position,
- 13:48Speaker 2: and I wonder what you would do in the position
- 13:50Speaker 2: as well. I will share that with you
