Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Twenty right away in the top of the hour, Chuck
- 0:02Speaker 1: Douglas in the Power Hour six ten WTVN. Yeah, I'm
- 0:07Speaker 1: gonna get into the nil in five six seven eight.
- 0:09Speaker 1: But during the break here, you know, going through the Facebook,
- 0:12Speaker 1: and then one of these videos pops up.
- 0:14Speaker 2: And I love it.
- 0:15Speaker 1: I love it that, you know, the old the old
- 0:19Speaker 1: guys are still kicking out there. Some of them are
- 0:21Speaker 1: doing it okay, some of them doing it pathetically, and
- 0:26Speaker 1: some of them just absolutely amaze me.
- 0:31Speaker 2: This is actually, I think about two years old. He
- 0:35Speaker 2: is what is that? Is it the voice that he's on?
- 0:37Speaker 2: Is that the name of the show? Where's he's?
- 0:41Speaker 1: Well? Thanks, confused because I don't And I think that
- 0:44Speaker 1: is that Blake Shelton that's sitting to his right in
- 0:46Speaker 1: the video?
- 0:46Speaker 2: Can you tell?
- 0:47Speaker 3: Sure?
- 0:48Speaker 1: I don't know who it is, but anyway, go ahead
- 0:51Speaker 1: and hit the music. Here Blake is singing, that's Blake
- 0:57Speaker 1: Shelton singing or whoever. Then Tom Jones takes over his
- 1:03Speaker 1: own song eighty three. Then he stands up and activates
- 1:17Speaker 1: the hips. Holy moly, man, that guy sounds as good
- 1:45Speaker 1: as I recall him.
- 1:46Speaker 2: My sister, my sister was a big fan of Tom Jones.
- 1:49Speaker 1: She was, uh, well, she graduated from high school in
- 1:52Speaker 1: seventy one, so that I mean that was about the era.
- 1:56Speaker 2: She was absolutely nuts about this guy. He's wore the tight.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Pants and the shirt unbuttoned down to his knees, and
- 2:04Speaker 1: the gold chains and stuff, and I just thought he
- 2:06Speaker 1: was sugary, sappy even as a kid.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm not into this at all.
- 2:10Speaker 1: And but now now watching that, watching wow, he's eighty
- 2:18Speaker 1: five now, I think he was eighty three when he
- 2:22Speaker 1: did that. And you know it wasn't a prepped thing
- 2:25Speaker 1: or whatever. They started messing with him about his song
- 2:28Speaker 1: and the guy on the daist started singing it and
- 2:32Speaker 1: Tom Tom just took over, and I, I don't know,
- 2:38Speaker 1: I'm just I'm.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Inspired by that.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Maybe it's because, you know, as I get older, I
- 2:42Speaker 1: don't want to I'm not old. My body may be older,
- 2:47Speaker 1: my knees may feel older thanks to Vanskoy hair, my
- 2:51Speaker 1: head doesn't look as old as it used to look.
- 2:55Speaker 1: But that that is empower powering to me to see that,
- 3:02Speaker 1: to see him still doing it now. Again, there are
- 3:05Speaker 1: some out there who are not even close to his
- 3:07Speaker 1: age that are They're terrible and they should stop. They
- 3:11Speaker 1: should absolutely stop. But when I see stuff like that,
- 3:16Speaker 1: I think that's one of the reasons, you know, Mark
- 3:18Speaker 1: and I like Sammy Haigar so much because he just
- 3:20Speaker 1: refuses to not be able to beld him out like that.
- 3:27Speaker 1: I just, I just I wanted to share that with
- 3:29Speaker 1: you because it was it was inspirational me. You have
- 3:31Speaker 1: no idea who Tom Jones even is doing.
- 3:32Speaker 3: I know that song I made everybody I have heard
- 3:34Speaker 3: that song and a couple of others didn't he sing tho.
- 3:36Speaker 2: If it wasn't for Carlton, you wouldn't have heard that sound.
- 3:40Speaker 2: I know that dance came Now he did have a
- 3:43Speaker 2: hit with.
- 3:46Speaker 3: He's saying She's a lady too, right, yeah, okay, yeah.
- 3:51Speaker 2: What was it called? Was it Kiss?
- 3:55Speaker 1: And I think Prince or the Art of Noise had
- 3:58Speaker 1: something to do with it. This was back in the
- 4:01Speaker 1: the nineties, and he actually charted with another one after
- 4:06Speaker 1: all those years, but that was just kind of the
- 4:09Speaker 1: short lived A lot of artists were doing that. David
- 4:11Speaker 1: Cassidy came out with Lying to Myself about the same time,
- 4:14Speaker 1: which was his first big hit since being part of
- 4:16Speaker 1: the Partridge Family twenty five years before that, people were
- 4:20Speaker 1: reminiscing and they were responding.
- 4:21Speaker 2: To that stuff.
- 4:23Speaker 1: But that's just that's that's something else, all right. So
- 4:28Speaker 1: I got that out of my sister. Now the NIL thing.
- 4:32Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this and I've said on the air.
- 4:36Speaker 1: I've said to Blazer, you know, people in our business
- 4:38Speaker 1: need to do it too. We need an eel. I
- 4:41Speaker 1: don't want, as much as I love you guys, twenty
- 4:44Speaker 1: five years from now, when I will, you know, likely
- 4:47Speaker 1: be part of the cosmos, I don't want somebody having
- 4:51Speaker 1: me on the air hosting a show, especially if I'm
- 4:55Speaker 1: not being represented. My true words, my true thoughts, my
- 4:58Speaker 1: true beliefs are not being represent Because with AI developing,
- 5:01Speaker 1: is it is you can take my voice, my inflections,
- 5:05Speaker 1: all of this stuff. Somebody can be recording me right now,
- 5:10Speaker 1: feeding it into AI, and they type up a script
- 5:13Speaker 1: that says, I think Columbus, Ohio is the best city
- 5:17Speaker 1: ever if Andy Ginther can be mayor for eternity and
- 5:22Speaker 1: they and you hear me say that on the air,
- 5:24Speaker 1: but it's not really me. I don't want that. But
- 5:28Speaker 1: as I got to thinking about it, you know what
- 5:29Speaker 1: it needs to be nil that we need legislation, We
- 5:34Speaker 1: don't need rules within Ohio High School Athletic Association. We
- 5:38Speaker 1: don't need rules within NCAA. What we need is legislation.
- 5:43Speaker 1: The reason I say this, let's say let's say you
- 5:50Speaker 1: are you're you're an overweight woman. Okay, you're walking down
- 5:56Speaker 1: the street and you are. You're an attractive woman. Just
- 6:00Speaker 1: because your overweight doesn't make you unattractive. But let's say
- 6:04Speaker 1: you're walking down the street and they go, wow, look
- 6:07Speaker 1: at her, she'd be a great model for our our
- 6:11Speaker 1: I don't know lposuction or weight loss or whatever we're
- 6:14Speaker 1: pumping out here. So they take video of you, and
- 6:18Speaker 1: there you are in a television commercial and they've got
- 6:22Speaker 1: a spokespirston going if you use we know that beautiful
- 6:25Speaker 1: women are everywhere, and you're not getting paid, you're not
- 6:28Speaker 1: getting compensated. You on a public street. They just use
- 6:30Speaker 1: public stock video of you walking down the street. They
- 6:34Speaker 1: didn't claim you endorsed the product or represented the product.
- 6:38Speaker 1: You need to stop that. They didn't claim you were
- 6:41Speaker 1: affiliated with the product. They just used an image of you,
- 6:45Speaker 1: an attractive large woman captured walking on a public street
- 6:50Speaker 1: where you have no expectation of privacy, your background, But
- 6:55Speaker 1: they used you. You should get paid for that, shouldn't you.
- 7:00Speaker 2: I believe you should.
- 7:01Speaker 1: This is why I'm thinking we need legislation NIL for
- 7:04Speaker 1: all Americans. Your name, image, likeness should not be able
- 7:09Speaker 1: to be used without your permission, written permission, and acceptable
- 7:16Speaker 1: compensation to you. So that's why I wanted to expound
- 7:19Speaker 1: on it because I've been talking strictly about high school
- 7:22Speaker 1: because it's in the news now because of this high
- 7:24Speaker 1: school kid who is you know, he's a heavy recruit.
- 7:30Speaker 1: He's going to be probably making a lot of money
- 7:32Speaker 1: in college, but he's in high school now and there
- 7:34Speaker 1: are people who are willing to pay him as a
- 7:36Speaker 1: high school student to use his name, image, or likeness
- 7:41Speaker 1: to sell their product. Think about Lebron James. I mean
- 7:45Speaker 1: we were talking about him in high school. Everybody knew
- 7:48Speaker 1: who Lebron was before he even got out of school.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Was he was he going to come to Ohio State University?
- 7:53Speaker 1: Was he going to be he went straight to the pros?
- 7:56Speaker 3: Well, that became a parent pretty early on. I do
- 7:59Speaker 3: remember him like his mom got a hummer or something
- 8:02Speaker 3: and people are like, I can't believe it. I'm like,
- 8:04Speaker 3: really yeah, Because if I was his dad, I would go, look,
- 8:07Speaker 3: you know, my kid is like, I'll pay you back. Yep,
- 8:09Speaker 3: Like why would the dealership would be crazy not to
- 8:12Speaker 3: just give it?
- 8:13Speaker 1: You know?
- 8:14Speaker 2: Absolutely? But are you? Are you in agreement with what
- 8:17Speaker 2: I'm saying here?
- 8:17Speaker 1: I mean, if somebody decided to use your picture for
- 8:20Speaker 1: something or video of you on a public street, no privacy, Yes,
- 8:25Speaker 1: you should get you should get recognized, compensated. Your permission
- 8:30Speaker 1: should be required for that. And right now it's not.
- 8:33Speaker 1: You have to go to court and fight and hope
- 8:37Speaker 1: that the judge and or jury sees things your way.
- 8:40Speaker 1: There's no guarantee. I think all Americans should have an
- 8:43Speaker 1: IL coverage.
- 8:45Speaker 2: I really do.
- 8:45Speaker 1: The more I've thought about this, the more reasonable I
- 8:48Speaker 1: think it is. Or maybe that's just me. I don't know.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Julie's been standing by. I'm not real sure why. But Julie,
- 8:53Speaker 1: you're on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone lines. Hi. Hey,
- 8:57Speaker 1: I think he also saying what snoop pushy? Well, yep,
- 9:04Speaker 1: I remember that, and Delilah. Wasn't that him? Or was
- 9:08Speaker 1: that Ingelbert humperdink s Odd? Yeah? Well, I mean it
- 9:19Speaker 1: was a different era though, But I mean, Julie, were
- 9:21Speaker 1: you impressed with it.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Eight I mean eighty three years old with.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, and he's and he sounded exactly like he
- 9:28Speaker 1: did back then. I can't believe. I couldn't believe he
- 9:30Speaker 1: saved his eighty three yeah, I know, not a big, full,
- 9:33Speaker 1: powerful voice, just like he was back at you know,
- 9:36Speaker 1: thirty years old. Again.
- 9:37Speaker 2: It was great, Yes, it was.
- 9:40Speaker 1: I hope, I hope I'm like that in like twenty minutes,
- 9:42Speaker 1: much un less eighty three. I appreciate the call, and
- 9:47Speaker 1: thanks for the reminder on that what's new pussy Cat
- 9:49Speaker 1: and Delilah, and it's not unusual. And I mean the
- 9:52Speaker 1: guy was. He was a hit maker and women loved him.
- 9:55Speaker 1: I did see him interviewed once, and he did, he
- 9:57Speaker 1: said he'd one of the things he didn't like was
- 9:59Speaker 1: the fact that women it was the seventies again, remember
- 10:02Speaker 1: you know, they were burning brawls and women's lib and
- 10:04Speaker 1: all this stuff, and what the tradition at his concerts
- 10:09Speaker 1: women would throw undergarments at him. And I saw him
- 10:14Speaker 1: interviewed because I really didn't like that much. I don't
- 10:18Speaker 1: know what that's been.
- 10:20Speaker 3: I mean, you don't know.
- 10:22Speaker 2: At least he was honest about it.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, he played the role, and he
- 10:27Speaker 1: sold records and and you know, here we are fifty
- 10:32Speaker 1: years later talking about it. So he must have done
- 10:34Speaker 1: it right, really already. So I can't talk about five.
- 10:38Speaker 3: Six, seven eight, No, I mean there's things that we
- 10:40Speaker 3: have plenty of time. I just like to get out
- 10:41Speaker 3: of here. I you know, his good Tom Jones net
- 10:45Speaker 3: worth is like two hundred million bucks.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he made a couple of dinner right, fair enough,
