  Speaker 1: Greeting citations, Walk my friends to another edition of the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Power Hour of sixteen dou WTV, and I'm Chuck Douglas.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: You know who you are, and we can take it
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: from there. We get one hour together, which means I
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: talk really fast and you must listen even faster. My
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: number eight two, one, nine, eight eighty six, eight to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: one WTV in or eight hundred and six to ten WTV.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: And in the words of the Dirt Band, let's make
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: a little magic before the night is through. You remember
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: that song. You're too young for that, aren't you. No, not,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: just make a little magic for the you don't remember.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do that with you. I remember
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: those what you don't want to make magic with me?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I know?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Abra alas, I'm so anyway, I'm reading this. Yeah, I
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: read stuff all over the internet. It's what I do,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: it's what I am, it's it's part of me, it's
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: my being. And I come across They've always got these,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: you know, stories and studies and crap like that, eleven
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: phrases deeply unhappy people use on a regular basis. Hi,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: my name Zach is not among them. That's a good thing. Hey, heck, what.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: But however, I don't even care what the rest of
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the list is because number one on the list, it
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: is what it is, Zach, have you heard that before?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: It is what it is.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: It is what it is.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, I don't think I've ever really used that one.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I use it every day of my life. And it's
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: got nothing to do with being deeply unhappy. It's got
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to do with being realistic. It is what it is. Period. Now,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: how you react to it, whatever it may be, is
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: completely on you. But the fact that this is number
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: one on the list of the phrases that deeply unhappy
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: people use on a regular basis makes me not care
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: about the rest of their list. And that's a sad
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: thing because as I'm reading the rest of their list,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: most of these I would agree with, and number two
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: nothing works out for me. Yeah, okay, I would say
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that you're deeply unhappy if you use that a lot.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Number three is what's the point again? Yes, I would
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: say probably unhappy if you use that a lot. I'm fine,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: just tired. Okay, No, what if you're actually tired and fine?
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: People who are productive, who go out there and try
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to kick the world in the butt every day to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: stimulate the economy, to make their mark, to leave a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: legacy of some sort. They're tired a lot, and they
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: can be fine and tired at the same time. So
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I disagree with that one. Nobody likes me, duh. Okay,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I would say that would be that makes sense to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: be on the list number six. I don't care anymore. Again, disagree.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I believe that's a really there is sub I just
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: told somebody on Facebook, cup, you know you're not getting
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the point of any of this. I'm done with a conversation.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: That's a situational thing.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Translation is I don't care anymore. It worked out
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: for Phil Collins, it works for me. I don't care
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: in EMMO, so yeah, I don't. I knew this would happen. Again,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: not deeply unhappy, if anything. That's showing that you understand
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: human nature and know what to expect from people around you.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I knew this would happen. I was ready for it,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: already got my contingency plan in place. Okay, I'll pick
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you up when you get off work, all right, Yep,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I knew this would happen. That's why the uber app
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: is on my phone. It's aren't you upset? Now? It
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: is what it is. I expected that I prepared for.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Number eight is I'm not good enough? Well, yeah, okay,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I would say that's pretty obvious. Number nine, people will
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: always let you down. Okay, kind of sort of in
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a way, I almost sort of agree with that, but
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: not complete. Anytime the word always or never gets you used,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I'm skeptical right off the bat because there are very
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: very very very very few things that are always or never.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Would you agree with that, Zachary, I agree people will
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: always let you down. Say that, No, not always. But
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: people are also probably the most undependable commodity on the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: face of the planet, so it is not unlikely that
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: they won't let you down, but not always. So that
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I got a little semantics issue with that one. Number ten,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: do whatever you want to do. I don't consider that
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: seriously unhappy. I consider that not fighting with the queen.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: It's done. It's not unhappy. But there comes a point
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: where you know what it may just do what you
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: want to do. I hope it works out for you,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and if it doesn't, as always, I will be here
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to clean up the mess and fix whatever has to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: be fixed. But do what you want to do. If
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: this means a lot to you go for it. That's
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: reasonable considerate advice, isn't it. Zach, do what you want
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to do? Say come back, come back it thatch, come back.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I can't leave, okay.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: And the last one on their list is it's too
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: late for me.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: No.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I again, that's not deeply unhappy. I would love to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: be a cop, but it's too late for me. That's
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: not unhappy. That's just again, I'm old, My knees don't work.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I would truly love to serve and protect my fellow
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: man out here and be out there on the lines
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: with the people who are serving and protecting each and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: every day, because Heaven knows they need backup. But it's
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: too late for me. And I know that that is
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: not unhappy. This is a ridiculous list. It is from
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: your Tango. It's just one of those survey sites that
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: has things like this on it all the time. But unfortunately,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: being that we are in the age of the Internet,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: there are people who read this kind of stuff and
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: this is gospel to them, and they're going to hear
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: somebody tomorrow say it is what it is. Oh, he
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: must be deeply depressed. He needs counseling. And that's so sad.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: It really is. We fall on this uh mental mattress,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: if you will, where we're comfortable judging the world around
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: us by by what the Internet says and most of
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: his garbage. Yesterday, on my way in here, I'm behind
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a vehicle and it has it has a notice on
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the back of it. It's a trailer. And I always,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I always get upset. I'm using the word always because
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: it is a constant. I always get upset when I
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: see on the back of a dump truck or a
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: semi or trailer stay back two hundred feet. Not responsible
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: for de Britain. Yes you are, Yes, you are. Man
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: If crap falls off of your truck and hits my
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: car and I get your license number, I am filing
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the police report, I am going to the dash camp
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and I am having my insurance becuse to pursue you
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to replace my broken windshield or whatever. Stay back two
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: hundred feet. Why not stay back two hundred feet? I've
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: been drinking tonight. No, you don't get a pass. This
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: trailer that I was behind had stay back two hundred feet,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: except you had to be like twenty feet or closer
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to read the stay back two hundred feet and it's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a little hard to complain about it to the people
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: you would complain to because the trailer was a police
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: department trailer, it was a horse trailer. And and then
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I have to be within twenty feet to
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: read the notice that says stay back two hundred feet
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: from the horse trailer, which is silly. Those side windows
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: were open on the trailer, so the horse, you know,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: horses have the long necks. The horse had his head
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: sticking out, and I'm like, what if some semi gets
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: too close to him in the opposing lane or whatever,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And that's yeah, man, you shouldn't have that window open
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: for the horse's head to stick out like that. Yeah,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: that's terrible. That should Yeah, windows at the front and
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: back where they can't that. That was what. And then
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and then they I'm not gonna tell you what else
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: they did, but anyway, h because well that would have
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to be out the back. No, I mean, I'm sure
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: it's probably a civilian drive rainyway, it wasn't actually an officer,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: but I just I laughed at the signage. Again, not
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: only because you had to be within twenty feet to
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: see the signage that said stay back two hundred feet,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: but because I completely disagree with it, and I don't
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: care if it's on a construction truck or on a
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: police vehicle, it doesn't matter. Stay back two hundred feet
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: because stuff may fall off of my vehicle and hit
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: your vehicle. No, I'm sorry. Let me look in the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: O R C here. I don't I don't see where
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that's a law that I have to stay back from
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: your vehicle because of uh, you know, your unsecured load
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: or whatever. Just ridiculous stuff. Well, apparently I hit a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: nerve here. The lines all just lit up. A two
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: nine at eighty six my number eight two E TV
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and let's start with Steve. You're on six to ten
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: w ETV and high Steve.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Gotcha thanks to again. Hey. The one I don't like
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: is when people say, uh, I can't wait until Friday?
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: That why are you wishing your life away? My mom
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: told me not to say that a long time ago,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: when I was you know, youngster, don't don't don't wish
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: your life fried? Do you get her singing up?
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Yep?
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: It's just always bothered me when people it just totally
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: even makes sense. You know, really, I can't wait for Friday.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I've never
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: liked it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: No, I'm with you, I always. I also have a
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: problem when people go, yeah, I'm just wasting time. You
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: cannot waste time. There's no such thing as time. Time
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: is just something we created to measure our existence. You
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: waste life, you waste life, You don't waste time.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: I would totally agree with that too. Hey, I like
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: the way you mixed it up yesterday too. Man. You
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: know you're the news of the day, and you really

  Speaker 3: Steve, I was gonna call on tell you that too.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: So I appreciate you telling you know we can we
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: can be as angry and depressed and stressed as we
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: want to be about the news of the day. Sometimes
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you just need to chill and relax. And I tried
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: to give you one of those last sight.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: And thank you so much.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: You are very well. If you haven't been on my
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Facebook page, go check out the Facebook page watch the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: video for the Trumpty Dance. Hey, I'm telling you if
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: you don't laugh at that, check yourself for a pulse
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: A two one nine at eighty six A two WTV
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and Scott, you're on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: phone line.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Ty I checked how you doing the ninth?
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I am slightly twisted otherwise.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Well, oh boy, twist it's good. Hey, I'm I'm a
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: veteran driver of thirteen years. If the wheel picks up
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: a rock or something and it fows off and hits
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: your windshield and breaks it, it's a road hazard. The
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: cops won't do anything right now if something if something
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: falls off the top that is not secured, if you
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: have the license number and a video, yes, your insurance
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: company could do something.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. If you're unsecured load or whatever,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I'm going to the dash can and I'm pursuing it.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: But of the times they're not going to do anything.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: They just say it's a road hazard.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that can happen to any of us. I
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: don't You could be on a mopad and hit a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: rock man. That's uh, that's the kind of thing that happens.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: But a lot of times you'll see, especially the dump trucks.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: And I've got two friends that are dump truck drivers,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and they know how much I hate this. But when
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the you know, they get loaded up at the construction
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: site or whatever and they're going down the road and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the tailgate's not secured or whatever, and there's gravel pouring
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: out the tailgates. They're going down the freeway and it's
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: all coming back and against the car. Yeah, you got
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to be responsible for that. I shouldn't have to stay
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: back to on her feet.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: A lot of times when they load them, it's graveled,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: it's laying on the edge of the bed, not coming out,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: and so that they really can't secure. That's why they
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: say stay back. A lot of them they just say
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: fifty feet, but you know the two hundred feet. Yeah,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: you have to be up like twenty feet away to
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: read the things. I agree with you on that, but
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: you know, my best advice is, if you're running behind
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: a truck or a trailer or something like that, stay
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: back and least fifty feet because they could always pick
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: something up off the road and throw it back.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I got you, Scott, you'd be careful out there on
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the road, buddy. I appreciate your call to night
