  Speaker 1: Greeting citations, Welcome my friends to another edition of The
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Power How on six double the EU TV and on
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Chuck Douglas, you know who you are. We take it
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: from there. We get one hour together. It means I
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: talk to you really fast. You must listen even faster
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: my number eight two one nine eight six eight two
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: one double UTV in or one eight hundred six '
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: ten WTV. And the temperature continue to drop. It's cold
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: in here, and it's I mean, it's colder out there,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: but it's cold in here. Are you cold in your
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: little room?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: It's not bad back here, to be honest with you.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: So oh you're surrounded by all that equipment too. It's
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: hardly putting all some heat.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a heat humidifire thing in here, something with
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: the board or whatever. But yeah, you guys, you guys
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: are always cold in there.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: It's really really, I mean, I'm not joking. I feel
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: like I can almost see my breath as I's talking.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: And and yeah, we're down to we're down to five
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: now with an expected overnight low of negative five, which
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: in the scheme of things, I mean for people who
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: live in you know, Alaska, perhaps that's not a big deal,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: but here in central Ohio it's an attention getter. So
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: you know, do stay warm, extra blankets, no sleep in
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: clothing if you need to. If you know any old
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: folks that might live around you, you know, make sure
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that they're okay. And and if you've got exterior pipes,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: as they say, you know, the pipes that are coming
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: up from maybe the basement to the kitchen sink, minor
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: this way where they're against an exterior wall, you want
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to open up that cabinet under the kitchen sink so
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that the heat from the house will kind of circulate
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: through there, and keep those pipes so they don't freeze.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: This is unusual for us. It's happened before, but it
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: is unusual and it's not like the end of the world.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: But you want to take a few precautions and just
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: make sure that you know, things don't burst or explode,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: because nobody needs those bills and that headache and that
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. And you are do you have what
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: do you call it the insulator things? You've got a
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: basement at the house, don't you, Yes, okay, you have
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: insulator on your pipes in the basement. Yes, I use
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: pool noodles. Yeah, it's the same absolute thing. I went
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to Dollar Tree and bought pool noodles this summer and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: put those on the pipes in the basement just as
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: an insulator, and it works incredibly well.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I've heard that before that it works just perfectly.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And if you have an older car, a little warm
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: up time does not hurt. As Boots was saying yesterday,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: we had had him on with Blaezer. You know, the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: newer cars not so much, especially if you're using the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: synthetic oils and then which keep the engine lubricated even
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: when the oil is not circulating. That's one of the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: benefits of synthetic oils. But in an older car, you're
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: still using conventional oil. You want to give it a
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: little time to get the blood pumpin' before you, you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: hit the accelerator. Put it in here because it's got
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to get it's got to get stuff moving. There's no lubricant.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Those pistons are trying to go up and down and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: froze and weather with nothing to lubric and that's not
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a good thing. So just you know, be sensible, take
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: care of yourself, don't panic, but be reasonable, to be logical,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: take a few precautions so you don't create any heartache
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and bills for yourself. We got enough the rest of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the world given his heartache. I mentioned this earlier, but
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna mention it again just because I think it's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a big deal. I'm big on camaraderie. I like seeing
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: team stuff, and you know, people, I've said this here
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: at the station. You know, I love it when I
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: hear Blazer talk about Mike or Mike talk about me
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: or whatever. I love when I hear Zach interact and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: give because it's I love that team aspect. And the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Blue Jackets did that last night, and I just I
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: think that's really it's admirable. It is admirable because of course,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: these guys are stars in the sports world in their
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: own right, God bless them, and they got six in
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a row before they fell last night. But when they
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: showed up to play the Island Islanders, my gosh, in
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the Metropolitan Division. They showed up wearing Ohio State jerseys.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I think they were all wearing the number one jersey
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, and there dropped the puck. Time
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: was at the same time as the Ohio State kicked
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the ball. Time, but they went in. They showed up
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: wearing Ohio state jerseys and I just thought that was
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: incredibly cool of the team, the management, everyone involved with
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the Columbus Blue Jackets, and I just as a Columbus
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: site my whole life, I just want to say thanks
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Blue Jackets. I appreciate that camaraderie and I hope that
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the favor will be returned. We've always had a problem, again,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: human nature being what it is, We've always had a
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: problem doing that kind of thing in this city. And
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: some are celebrated, some are not, some are forgotten. And
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I look back to, you know, when Buster Douglas took
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Mike Tyson out. I don't think the reaction Columbus Ohio
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: had to the world heavyweight champion being here, I don't
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: think was spectacular at all. It was. It was kind
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: of blase. Now, granted it was many years ago. In
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: my mind, it was a younger man's mind back then,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: but my memory of that time was it just wasn't.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: It wasn't the grand event that I think it should
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: have been. And keep in mind, this was the time
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: we had like the Columbus five hundred, which was a
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Dana Buck Reinhart thing. And while I loved Dana Reinhardt
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: in his capacity as mayor, he was not He wasn't
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: on top of his gay when he came came to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Leu's what the Columbus five hundred, As far as I'm concerned,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: it was where you weren't here for that, where he
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: was agriy No.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Before it was a it was a I think it
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: was Formula one cars racing through the streets of downtown Columbus,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: and they would shut down the downtown and and and
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: it just it did not.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know, there was just no the romance of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: racings just wasn't there.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of that.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I think it only happened maybe two years. Somebody with
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: a better memory than me can tell me A two
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: one nine eight eighty six, A two one WUTV And
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I think we only did it for two years. But
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: we've seen things come and go in this town over there.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So we used to have the Columbus Jets football team,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: which my dad always used to talk about, which played
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: over at the old Cooper Stadium, and the Columbus I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: think they were the Redbirds baseball team before the Clippers.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: We had the Columbus Chill hockey team. We've got a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: basketball team right now, the Wizards. A lot of people
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: don't even know they exist. The women's volleyball team that
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: just started with Fury.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I think professional basketball is that like an NBA G
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: League Columbus.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure what the league name is. Quite frankly, yeah,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I was just curious. But I'm just I'm glad that
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: they exist here. They have a permanent well it's permanent
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: is any thing gets, but a consistent home right now
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: at Auterbne University where you can go watch them play.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: And they are very I'll tell you this about the Wizards.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: They are very, very big on community involvement. The guys
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: on the team are very interactive with their fans, especially
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: their young fans. My grandsons have actually met them and
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: got some autographs, and I think they got a basketball
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and one of my sons, one was with me Yesterday's
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: got a Wizard's sleeveless T shirt that he loves to wear.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: They go out to the rec centers and you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: they do all those wonderful good things, not on the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: scale that the Blue Jackets do it, because the Blue
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Jackets obviously have a bigger audience and make more money
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and are able to do that kind of thing. But
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I love that that interaction between the city and its
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: celebrities or sports figures or pseudo celebrities or whatever. I
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: miss the time when we were all more active, elemated
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to that when people people like me, radio people, television people.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Every year, when we had the MDA Telethon or the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Easter Seals Telethon. I remember when I got a call
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: from Jimmy Crumb many years ago asking me if i'd
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: come down and help with Easter Seals. And that was
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: an honor to be able to come down there and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: do that answer phones for Easter Seals. My last year
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: doing it, I believe I was sitting next to Ronnie Hunter.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: She's so sweet and you know, great conversation again, great camaraderie.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: We were from all different radio stations and TV stations,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: but we were all there. We'd go down and help
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: out with the MDA telethons and so forth. We knew
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: each other, we worked together, and there was an inter
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: mingling of people. Now we're so separated by so many things,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: whether it's politics or race or pseudo economic issues that
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: we think we have or whatever that When I see
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: one entity supporting another, it just it kind of moves
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: my heart. So again, thanks Blue Jackets for doing that
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: and just making me think about that kind of thing today,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: because I appreciate you. Also, you know, I was telling
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you Nelle took some a heat for performing at an
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: inaugural event everybody expected the village people, and and Lee
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Greenwood and uh and what Kelly Clarkson, who again did
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a wonderful job. When the music didn't work, she just
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: went a cappella, which was awesome. Well, the latest is Jewel.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Jewel performed thee. This may be a typo. It says
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: a Maha event is maha something new? Is that a
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: new Mago word that I don't know about? Mah m
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: a h a inaugural event. But she sang an acoustic
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow at the Waldorf Astoria
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: on Monday night. And apparently some folks aren't happy with
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Jewel for singing at that. You know what, sit down
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and shut up. All these are so unhappy Pelosi's cause
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I can't believe that he did it. Pardon for all
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: of the January sixth people, she sounded very close to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that too. Everybody's you know, taking Trump on for partnering
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the January sixth people. Nobody seems to have a problem
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: with Joe Biden partning everyone whose last name begins with
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the letter B he I mean Biden or otherwise for
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: stuff that they haven't even done or been accused of doing,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: or we know that they did, but he just pardoned
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: him just in case. And what's her was it? Liz
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Cheney got the Congress or the Presidential Medal of Freedom
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a week ago, and then she gets a pardon yesterday
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: for stuff she hasn't done. But how do you get
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the Medal of Freedom one week and then need a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: presidential part in the next week. But nobody's addressing that man.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: It's all about old Donald Trump's uh, he's pardoning those
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: those January six people. I have mentioned, by the way, Fetterman,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: who everybody said when he was running, oh, he shouldn't run,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: he's brain damage or whatever. But the Democrats said, he's fine,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: he just talks slow, he's fine, leave him alone, let
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: him wear his hoodies in his sweats and his shorts.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: He's fine. And so he got in. I couldn't believe
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania elected him. But he's gotten better. And I've been
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: saying this for months. He's gotten better. He's more articulate now,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and he's actually, you know, said I got an open mind.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump wants something, we'll talk about it. I'm like,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Fetterman will not be a Democrat by the end of
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the Trump term. I'm telling you, I think other people
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: feel that way as well, though, because now he is
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: being taken to task for a picture. Apparently he took
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: a picture with somebody who was one of the January
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: sixth defendants, and they're telling him, oh, you should be
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: embarrassed and there should be sanctions or there should be censures.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Fetterman goes, I didn't even know who the guy was.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: It's a public event. He said, you know, Senator, can
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I take a picture with you? I said yes, And
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I took a picture with a guy didn't even know
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: who he was. But they're holding him accountable for that.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, the world has changed. So in twenty
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: what does it be in twenty three hour, twenty six hours,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: twenty six hours or so since Donald Trump became president.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: The only thing that I noticed more than anything is
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: that the best dressed person there was Fetterman, you.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Think, because I'm gonna go with.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Millennia Fetterman with the Carhart.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: He showed up in the hoodie and the shorts. The
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: guy something else.
