  Speaker 1: And part two of The Power Hour six ten double
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: UTV and A two one nine eight eight six number
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: eight two one double UTV and the artist the singer
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: that I was talking with Blazer about that I fell
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: asleep listening to last night. The queen tells me it's
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Lewis CAPOLDI. I can't remember the name of the song.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: There was one song she was playing and it just
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: it captivated me, and uh, honestly, it sounded like something
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: when I was I would have written when I was
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: twenty two twenty three years old. It just reminded me
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: of my youth, very very uh touching song. And I
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: can't remember the name of it, so I have to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: find that out when to get home. But anyway, Lewis CAPOLDI,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: in case every goes well, you shaid it and then
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: you didn't tell her it was. I didn't know anything
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: about the guy until last night, and then the stuff
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: she started playing afterward, she goes, this is him too,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: was very well, except the fact that it was in
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: tune was very Dylan esque in a lot of ways.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: He was playing guitar and harmonica while singing, and I
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: just I don't know, I'm just impressed by the guy.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I would definitely say that a lot of people know him,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: like his views on his videos, like four hundred and
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: seventy nine million, three million, Yeah, of him has one
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: point three billion.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Not too bad, not at all, not at all. And
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the thing of it is is you've never heard of him.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Blazer's never heard of him. I had never heard of
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: him until last night. How did he get that popular
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and one of the three of us knew of him?
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: That's just odd. Also, in response to all the messages,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you can quit sending me the links to the Damon
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Darling story. I know, I know. I have reached out
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to Walmart corporate and asked to get somebody on the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: air who wants to address this. I have reached out
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to Damon through a couple of different email addresses and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: through his Facebook messenger try to get him on I
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: have not yet reached out to the Beaver Creek Police Department.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I believe that's who that was that pulled him over
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and did the corporate bidding. And I still have a
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: problem with that too. Using a traffic stop to to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: hand somebody a piece of paper so you can't go
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to this store anymore. It seems a little odd, But yes,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I've got it. I know about it. I'm pursuing it
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to see if I can get somebody to talk. But
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you don't have to send it to me anymore. I've
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: had like one hundred people send me to did you
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: see this? What they get? Then? He has gone from
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: weirdo to like four million followers on his Facebook page.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Two Have you seen that? Do you even know who
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Damon is?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the rich guy got a dollar? Yeah yeah.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Walmart officially has banned him from all stores and they
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the police pulled him over to give him written notice
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that he could not come in Walmart stores. Plus they
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: they set a couple of other places on there too,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: which I don't know Walmart Corporation owns, So I don't
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: know how they say he's banned from there. But he's
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a good guy. He's odd, but you know, he's a comedian.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: He's odd, is normal. He was oddly fortunate with the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: death of a grandmother that he didn't know he had,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and grandmother left him and oil. Well, so he's rich
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and with that money. Looks like he drives a pretty
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: nice car, has a nice house. He's married and takes
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: care of his family. And that's good. But with that money,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: he goes out and tries to do good things. He'll
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: just walk up to somebody in Walmart who's got to worry,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: look on their face and a cart full of stuff
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and kids want more, and he'll pay for their groceries.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Every year we wait for that store, you know, this
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: local Walmart store, and somebody paid for all the layaways
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: or something like that. And that mystery person, we think
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: is just you know, great, they're wonderful. How bless their
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: hearts for doing that kind of thing. Well, he's doing
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: it up close and in person, and he's made people laugh,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and he's making videos and he's growing his prominence as
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: a stand up comedian. Everybody you know is paying attention
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to him, and that's what he wants. He's not hurting anyone.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: He's doing good. He's making whatever little corner of the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: world he's in at the time a little bit better.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: And he you know, he's very opening. He goes, take
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a look at my tour schedule, and you know, I'm
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: going to all these different cities performing. You guys, tell
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: me where I need to go when I'm in those cities.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: He wants to know, you know, your city better than
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: anybody else. He wants to know where where do people
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: need stuff? Sometimes he'll show up and just fill somebody's
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: gas tank, just hand him cash, just making the world
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a little I don't I'm sorry, I don't get Walmart
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: considering all the people in there that are to defend
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: me as as a customer, which I I you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I'm talking. I'm thinking about that too. Quite frankly, I'm
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: not one to call for boycotts. I don't do that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. Other you know, every person makes up
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: their own mind and that kind of thing, so I'm
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: not suggesting that at all, but I am saying that,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you know, I make a conscious decision of where my
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: dollars get spent and uh and we have spent a
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: considerable number of those dollars at their stores. And I'm
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm thinking about that right now because if if
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a little kindness, a little goodness is out of place
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: in your store, that that doesn't leave a good taste
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: in my mouth. I just I don't know. I watch
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: his videos not because necessarily I think they're funny, but
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: because I think they're touching and I wish more people
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: were like it. Maybe a little more strange, yeah, but
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: also a little more giving. I don't know that I
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: would do that. I mean i'd give away money, yeah,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: but I just wouldn't be so prominent with it. But
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: then again, I'm not as showman. That's not my job
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to draw people to my social media and gather fans
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and all that. I just I do what I do.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: People like it or they don't. He's he's making an
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: impact in all all the ways. I think he's trying
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to make an impact, and I think at a corporate level,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: they're they're they're wrong. This, this is a backfire, and man,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I just wish we were better. It's that simple. Are
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you in there watching his videos now because I mentioned him?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Is that what you're doing because your face is fixed
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to your screen? No?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: No, No, I'm looking at other stuff. Are you back
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: on the air.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Because corporate has a rule against looking at that kind
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: of thing at work, it's not illegal. Well, then corporate
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: has a rule about looking at that kind of stuff
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: at work. Oh, we're only supposed to look at illegal stuff.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: If you're gonna go go all the way.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Franklin County's tornado sirens stayed silent during Tuesday severe weather.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: They are officially asking and officially trying to answer this
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: before it blows up. And as I was again Mark
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and I talked about this earlier, I am of the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: impress and you can disagree. You're always welcome to disagree.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I am of the impression that whatever it is, wind, rain, tornado, godzilla,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, if it's flipping over cars on the freeway,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: hit the blasted sirens, whatever it is, we need to
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: get out of the way of it now. I wasn't
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: hurt severely, fortunately, you know, I said the night before
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: all this happened, I got hit with a chair just
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: sitting on my front porch because the wind, since Sarah
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: said those might have been precursor winds to this front
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that was coming through. But the wing gus just out
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: of nowhere hit fifty sixty miles an hour, picked up
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a chair and threw it into my head as I
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: was sitting on my porch about eleven thirty at night.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: But people could have been severely hurt. And I think
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: it's well worth sounding that siren to take shelter, whether
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: or not it's a tornado, even if you want to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: call it straight line winds or durratio or whatever. If
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: it's pulling houses off of foundations, flipping cars on the freeway,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: taking down trees, overturning stuff left and right, blowing neighborhoods
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: into other neighborhoods, it's enough to be concerned about, and
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't. It shouldn't just be tornadoes, I guess, is
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Because in the event that you know,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: something crazy happened, like you know air raid that we
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: call them the air do you still call them an
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: air raid siren because you're younger.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I don't think we called that one. I nobody called
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: it that one.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Okay. See, when I was coming up, it was the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: air raid siren based you know, after World War Two,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the air raid siren in case we were invaded by air.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Of course, as a child, I didn't air raid was
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: all one word. I had no idea what air raid meant,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: but that's just what we called it. So whether we
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: are attacked militarily people you know, airplanes, jets, bombers, drones,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that we'd use those sirens, right, tornadoes, we'd use those sirens.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: It just means there's an emergency, take shelter. I don't
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: see where it's necessary to have an official sighting of
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: a funnel cloud or a natural tornado on the ground
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: before you hit those sirens. If cars are being picked
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: up and overturned.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I thought that was just a jet or a warning.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Not you have to see certain things, because that just
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: doesn't make sense.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Well, the automated activation, I guess it comes from you know,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: either radar or or law enforcement or professional weather spotters
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: who say they saw rotation or whatever. We've had so
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: many false alarms where you know the radar indicates rotation
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: in these clouds, or you know that you can see
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: this little hook at the bottom that means that there's rotation. Okay,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: so they sound the sirens. Turns out to be nothing.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: We had a whole bunch of nothing and we had sirens.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: This time around, we had some something. We didn't know
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: what it was. We just knew that that house should
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: actually be on top of its basement and it wasn't anymore.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: And for that you get out of the way. And
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I think I think they failed us. Whether it's the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: county or whoever ultimately is responsible for flipping the final
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: switch to activate those sirens, they failed us, and we
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: should have some public discourse about this and come to
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: some conclusions. If any force that can create mass injuries
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: or even casualties, whether it's it's you know, weather related
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: or invasion, military, really hell if the martians, I don't
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: care if we need to hide somebody hit the button.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to change my mind on that one.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: You can debate that one all you want, but I'm
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: not going to change my mind on that one.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: You with me or give me only in the event
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: of a tornado at the National Weather Services came verified
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: it and then maybe hit the air raid that's.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: It, after it's been verified and it's over with. So
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: like a couple of days after the actual storm US,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: we should hit the air raid siren. Do you do
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: you get enough fiber?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I don't get enough anything.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I just I'm wondering you need some more? What was that?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I know that was an accident? Was that was great?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: That was a user error.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I looked at the clock. I was expecting to get
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: out of here music to start playing, and there that is.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hit the wrong thing.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: You are welcome, thanks so very much. All right. I
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: don't mean to make any enemies. I really don't. I
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: just try to get in here. And you know, spend
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: an hour talking in common sense, and this one is
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: common sense. I am so so grateful that nobody in
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Central Ohio, Perister was severely injured. We've lost the one
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: person in Muskingham County. They couldn't get to them, too
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: much water surrounding them, and they had previous medical situations
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: going on. We fared this pretty well, but let's not
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: cut it this close again. Please time for me to
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: fly back in with Blazer tomorrow beginning at three. Thanks
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: to see Grant for giving me a great Wednesday. I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: truly appreciate it, and I appreciate you for being partner
