  Speaker 1: Greeting salitations. Welcome my friends to another edition to the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Power Hour six ten wtv in Thursday, edition of last
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: one for the week. We'll do it again at the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: beginning on Monday, or states well, get one hour together,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: which means I talk really faster. You must listen even faster.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: My number eight two one nine eight eight six eight
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: two one WTVN or one eight hundred and sixty ten
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: WTVN will work as well. A couple of things I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: want to get to news wise. One of the very
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: few times that you would ever hear me saying rah
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: rah to city attorneys at client but I've got I've
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: got a ra ra for the city Attorney's office. I'm
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: just just I'm telling you that in advance, so you
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: can brace yourself because I don't want to, you know,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: scare the children or anything, but it is coming. Also,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: this idiot, this idiot that calls the wreck on seventy one.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know exactly when this happened. I found the story.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: It's on the WLWT website, which is what Cincinnati right.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't see it on any of the stations here,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: which is kind of odd, but it happened here in
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Columbus and an absolute idiot story that I must share
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: with you first. Though, we get messages, both Blazer and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I when we're on the air all the time, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: he was getting he was getting stuff about horse names
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and all kinds of stuff. Today we started this show though,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: right at the very beginning at three o'clock, talking about
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the Awaken one eighty and how I was doing so far,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and I was complaining about my turkey neck, because as
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you lose weight, you know, there's something's got to fill
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that void. And I've just got like the flabby turkey
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: neck thing going now. And so anyway, that inspired I
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: got a mail message, and Mail wanted to know, do
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you I heard their commercial? Do you really think I
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: can lose forty pounds by the fourth of July. So
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I'm going to divert from regular programming because since I'm
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: doing spots for Awaken one eighty, I'm doing testimonial commercials
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: for them. I'm going to address you Mail. I'm gonna
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: right here on the and I'm going to tell you, yes,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I do think you can, and yes, what I tell
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you on the radio about what I'm doing and how
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it's working for me is absolutely true. Because I will
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: not listen. I will not blow smoke up your financial
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: push to do an endorsement commercial. I won't do it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: It is actually it's doing what I say it's doing.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: The weight is coming off as I tell you, I'm
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: giving you. You know a week by last week sucked,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: but I last week sucked in my life, which is
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: why the weight loss I took off like an eighth
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of a pound or point it was point eight is
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: what it was. Now. The reason for that my own fault,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: because of my life. There were three days, if you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: will remember that I was not here with Mark, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: one person said, Zach is running me run because I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: couldn't be here. I had other stuff going on, and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I was in places for three days during the course
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of the week that first of all, were very highly
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: stressful and secondly did not give me access to eating
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: what I'm supposed to eat when I'm supposed to eat it.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: So you get a counselor when you do this thing.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And talking to my counselor on Monday and I explain,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you know, what had happened, what the week was like,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and so forth, and she was so wonderful because she said, okay,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: First of all, don't feel bad from what you've just
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: told me. I will tell you exactly why this happened.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: We have you on a regimen where you're eating at
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: these intervals, and your body suddenly was not getting any
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: food because you're in this situation where you're nowhere where
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you can eat. Your body starts saying, Okay, we're not
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: getting rid of any fat. We're not burning off anything
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: because we're going to need this for fuel because there's
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: no food coming in. So this week life is a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: little bit normal. We're on Thursday now. I do my
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: check ins with them on Monday, but sends my check
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: in Monday to this morning because I just weighed myself
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: out of blatant curiosity this morning. See how I was
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: going three point eight pounds from Monday to today. So
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I'm back on a normal schedule. It does what I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: say it does. If it didn't, I would not say it. So, Mel,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: if you were inclined to do so, go for it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Forty pounds by the fourth I think, yeah, I think
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that's doable. Now, that's doable for now. Next week I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: might go. I don't know, because you know this is
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: already the first of May, so you're only talking about
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: two months to get this done. But yeah, twenty pounds
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a month. I can actually I can see you doing that.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: So there you go. Want to answer that question right
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: off the bat. Let me get into this idiot on
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the freeway, Zach. Do you know have you seen the story?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: The video of the story they were o doc cameras
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I believe that they were using for the news story. Yes,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I I just watched. Does it say is there anything
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: on there to indicate when this happened? Because I can't
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: find dates anywhere on this April.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: But that's all I am.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So that was yesterday, yesterday, beautiful sunshine, blueskuys and all
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that stuff. This moron, I don't know who it was.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I could be talking about my cousin Joe for all
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I know. Moron is on seventy one at six seventy
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: looks like seventy one northbound from the camera footage at
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: six seventy. Apparently wanted to get off at six seventy,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So he's in the middle lane and he stops. Behind him,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: another car pulls and stops because he's not moving. Then
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: another van, a white van, pulls up third in line stops.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Then a big old gray cargo van slams into the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: white van, which slams into the middle car, which slams
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: into the red car. On a beautiful day, no bad weather,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: no visibility problems, nothing, there's no reason for this except moron.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: The best part of the whole thing is that he
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: stops because he wants to get off this exit, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: he's waiting and waiting, and then two cars get hit
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: behind him, right, it's his car, and then he's like
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: drives away.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and the guy in the gray van that
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: came up and crashed into all three of them and
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: made all of it. That was obvious distracted driving. There's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: no way you come up on three cars sitting still
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: on the freeway at sixty miles an hour and slam
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: into the back end like that if you're paying attention.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: If it was dark, snowy, rainy, icy, any e out there, Okay,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: maybe I could understand a little bit of the wreck,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: but there was nothing that came into play. This is why,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: this is why I complain about driving so much. People
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: are just too stupid. And you know, we talk about
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: flying cars. You people can't even handle driving on the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: freeway Half the time. You don't know what a roundabout
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: does do? I want you over me and no flying cars.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Master pavement first, for goodness sake.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Man, those roundabouts too, because I go through them almost
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: every day. I'm pretty sure people just wing it. They
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: just get up there and they're just like this feels okay, and.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: They just I know, and it's not that difficult. It
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: really is not that difficult. Now. I remember back in
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I got a traffic ticket on seventy one southbound. It
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: was January fourth of nineteen eighty four. I still remember.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Guy's name was Larry. I won't use his last name,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: but I remember that too. He was driving an eighty
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: one Plymouth Fury I believe it was brown four door uh,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and there was ice on the ground. Now, I was
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: young and the officer I remember the officer's name too,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and as I understand that he was a really good guy,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: but I was the youngster. The old guy didn't get
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the ticket, although as I got older, I thought that
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: he should have got the ticket, not me, because here's
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: what happened. We're like coming up on seventeenth Avenue on
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: seventy one south sound ice, he skids and he sideways
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: on the freeway. So I slammed into the passenger side
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of his car, and I got a ticket for failure
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to control. But again, I was nineteen years old, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: so I was just like, man, I can't believe I
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: gotta take it, and I just took it. But if
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: this chuck in that same situation got that ticket, oh yes,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: we'd be fighting it. We would absolutely be fighting it.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: He was sideways. I don't care if I ran into him.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: He was sideways on the freeway. It was his fault,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: not mine. And I just but at nineteen, you don't
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: have the audacity to buck the system like that, to
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: go into traffic court and argue like that, and of
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: course you don't want to tell Dad what happened, so
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you go face the battle yourself and you do stupid
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: stuff like take the blame for something you never should
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: have taken the blame for. I did plenty of things
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I should have taken the blame for when I was young,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: but that was not one of them. But to this day,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I vibrantly remember this incident. Vibrantly remember this because oh
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: what just a farthing, nugan. It was never should have happened,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm still mad at myself that I didn't find
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a way to slide around him or something. But that
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: incident made me a better driver in the future. I
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: got better because of that, because it was at that
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: moment I realized I'm not driving for myself. I'm driving
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: for all the morons around me too, And I became
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a better driver because of that. That story. I'm reiterating
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: to you right now simply to say, the idiot in
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the red car in this video will never be any
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: better you. That is the stupidest thing I think I've
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: ever seen anybody.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Do, probably the least of the RECs that he's caused
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: in his.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Life, and then to drive all that.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: It tapped his car and he just was like, oh, well,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: now I have space to go.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Forgive me for speculating that the person driving that red
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: vehicle might not have been born here, might not be
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: licensed here. That's exactly what's going through my mind. Call
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: it hate speech, if you will, I call it observing
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the world around me. Eight two one ninety eight six

  Speaker 1: thank you for putting the smile on. The return for

• 11:29
  Speaker 1: You have a wonderful evening and keep up the great work.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Vandora, I have a good evening yourself. Rob.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: You are on six d a WTVN.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, yeah, I've got a story of you know,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: hitting a stock car when I was in my thirties
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: to kind of relate to your story about in your
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: nineteen year old So and I was coming to the streets.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: The bridge was frozen right in front of Whatstone High School,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: and there was a car that spun out before I
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: had got there, and it was sideways right in the
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: middle of the road, and I could not stop. So
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I'm honking my horn. People are outside of their cars
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: and everything, just looking at their vehicles, and you know,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: I know I'm going to hit them, so just honking
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: the honking, and then slam hit into them, just t
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: bone and you know, people were screaming, and I thought
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I had knocked somebody over the side of the bridge,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: but thanks had not. They were just scared to death.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: But but but wouldn't have happeneding talking to the cop,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: he goes, well, was that vehicle that you hit still
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: moving when you struck it? And I said no, it
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: was stopped, and he goes, well, if it was moving,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: then you would have had an excuse. But because it
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: was stopped, you should have had a sured clear distance
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: to stop in those icy conditions, So therefore it was
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: my fault.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's pretty much the logic that the officer
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: gave me when I was nineteen years old, and I'm sorry,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: but I assured clear distance for a car sideways on
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the freeway does not make any sense. I agreed, Rob,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the story. Thanks very much. A lot of
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the tickets that I got when I was young. By
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the way, I had a nineteen seventy six gray Chevy Impalla.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: And for you old people out there, the name Jeane
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Fullan might bring a bell. His voice grace these airwaves
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: at one point, I do believe, and I bought the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and turned out the guy I bought the car from
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: was his son. But I didn't know that. I didn't
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: know who Jean Fuller was. My dad wouldn't with me
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: to look at the car, and he recognized the name.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: So I bought this car, and it had a mind
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: of its own. It had cruise control that would take
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: me from fifty five to ninety without me touching anything,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: and once it got to ninety, it would not come off.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And it was going ninety whether I want it was
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: like Chris, I called it Christine because that car did
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: what it wanted. And even with that, I never stopped
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the freeway. What a moron
