  Speaker 1: Zach and I were talking off the air before we
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: went on, and I feel compelled to do a little
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: talk show etiquette class because we have had we got
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: some weird well and now seriously seriously, because I love
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: it when you guys call sir. I do. But as
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I alluded to with Mark in that last hour of
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the Mark Blazer Show this afternoon, when when I get
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: all the comments, like you're talking about something on the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: air and people are sending you messages on Facebook or
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: a direct message or whatever about your topic, that doesn't
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: make for good radio. If you have something really good
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you want to ship, please a two to one, nine
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: eight eighty six or eight hundred and six to ten
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: WTV and participate. Secondly, Zach is the producer of the show,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the call screener of the show orchestrates, and he actually
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: got some flak today from somebody They wanted to call
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: up and do a five minute phone call with him.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: He was very upset.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: He was like, well, don't you want to know what
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I gotta say? Well, no, do you want to talk
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to Mark and Chuck? No, I want to tell you
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: well to see No, that's not because he's got other
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: calls to take.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I don't want to go on the air, but do
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: you want to hear what I have to say?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, calling to say I don't want to go on
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: That kind of flies in the phase of what we
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: do here. And last, but not least, when we're on
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the air and you use the calling feature of the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: phone call feature a messenger, not really productive because we
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: can't take messenger phone calls while we are on the air.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: So just just a little class and talk show etiquette today.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Love to have you participate, but you got to participate
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: by calling zact telling him this is my name, here's
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: where I'm calling from, Here's what I want to say. Okay, great,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: he'll put you on, Well, at least he'll put you
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: in front of us and then we'll try our best
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to get you on. Does that make sense? I hope,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: so probably not do a lot of people. How you
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: doing over there? You got high tea, here's tea good, I'm.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Good, tea strong, I'm okay. I got the same tea
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: as every.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Day, got the same tea as every day. I'm I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: have an abundance of tea today. Yesterday I had no tea.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: It wasn't just low tea. It was no tea, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I got on Facebook this morning when I finally woke up.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, I slept hard last night.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And stress over the months culminating, maybe because you were.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I was. I just in that last
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: hour because I filled in for Mark yesterday and then
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: in during that last hour, during the power hour, I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: told Zach, I'm like, man, I'm not feeling right. My
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: energy is dreening. It was like when a juke box
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: is unplugged one two, three o'clock. For That's just what
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: And I knew you were a little bit out of
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: sorts when you left, Yeah, because I texted me and
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: said I left my keys in here. I said, I
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: hang on, and then he sent me another message that said, yeah,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Zach's gonna bring down the key. I know.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I was trying to text the Queen and let her
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: know I was going to be a few minutes behind
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: schedule because and I sent it to you instead. And seriously,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: by the time I got home last night, my head
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: was hanging low and I'm like, oh, I just I'm
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: not something's not right, just not feeling right. I just
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and I essentially passed out. I didn't even go to sleep.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I just passed out sitting on the sofa, and no idea.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't feel bad, no nausea, no headache, nothing like that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: But it was just like my batteries got pulled out
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of me hard last night.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Did you feel better when you woke up?
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm substantially better today. I'm still a little I
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: don't know, a little light if you will. Yeah, I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: just feel a little, a little weird, but I'm nowhere
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: near what I was last night. Last night, I was
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: messed up. So I explained that on Facebook in case
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: anybody noticed, because my voice was getting raspy. I was.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I was not sounding very good at all, and no,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I was go back and listen, man, it something like that,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: but I wanted to explain to people, here's what happened.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: And everybody gets on Facebook, and while they're not doctors
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: on television, they certainly are on social media and they
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: start diagnosing you. Oh, it's your blood sugar, it's your
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: blood pressure, it's the one person said the check for
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the mosquito sprayers to see maybe I inhaled some mosquito
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: spray in the middle of the night or something. No,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I just I was just tired, just worn out. The
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: one that really made me laugh as the one that said,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: try to take it easy for a few days. Oh,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you obviously don't know me. Taking it easy is not
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in the car, and I don't want it to be.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be bored. I never want to
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: be bored. I don't mind being busy all the time,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: going twenty five hours a day if that's what it takes,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: as long as it's productive. I love getting stuff done,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and I love being the one that people count on
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to get stuff done. Now being tedious and working my
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: tail off and getting nothing done, I hate that. I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: cannot stand wasting time. Time is nothing more than a
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: way to measure a life, and if you're wasting time,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you are wasting life. So I'm not good at that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: But I love being busy otherwise. But and for all
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: everybody who chimed in, and just because you care about
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: whether you know whether I'm dead or not, I do
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: appreciate you. Now let's move on to the important stuff
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: between shows here, I ran down to the the Apalacial
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: iHeart men's facilities, and something occurred to me in the bathroom.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: That's usually usually not a good way to start a
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: conversation just so you know, But something occurred to me
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom. You know, pretty much every place you
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: go commercially, businesses, offices and so forth, the toilet seat
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: is like a horseshoe. It's got that cut out at
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the front for your pieces and parts. And I guess
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that's what's the four So you if if that is,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: if that's so necessary, why don't you see those those
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: kind of toilet seats in the houses. You ever thought
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: about that? No, you ever been in somebody's house, gone
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to the bathroom and found a toilet seat that was
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: like that with the front removed.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: No, I'm too worried about destroying the toilet in the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: first place. Look at them.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: No, that's the fun of going to other people's bathrooms,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: that's sure.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: You see that water rising up when you're done. You
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: just some people panic and I just walk right out.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I didn't help it here help, but I just it
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: just occurred to me. And then, of course, the way
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: my head works, naturally, the other question comes in my mind.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Why have urinals never been put into home to That
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: would be very because you know, you look at bathrooms,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: especially today, bathrooms where they've got the little wall, maybe
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: between the toilet and a shower, so you get up
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: in the morning and one of you was making a
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: deposit while the other one's getting cleaned up or whatever,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and up and you got that little But wouldn't it
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: make sense seriously to incorporate urinals into home design, especially
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: for a family where you might be raising some boys
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: who are not necessarily proficient in the art of aim
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and control. It would make life a little bit easier.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I just think so toilet seats with cutouts and urinals
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that if we could do that, America would be great again.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can put a urnal anywhere. It doesn't have
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: to be in a bathroom either.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Nine at eighty six. Number eight wouldn't have the YOUTV
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: washing we do. You can wash the dishes in the
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: shower creamer did it?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: You could too, Its conserves water. I don't see why not.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I wanted to reintroduce something that I was talking about
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: with Blazer during his show, The UH, because we had
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: some phone calls we weren't able to get to, and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I wanted to give those people an opportunity if they
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: wanted to participate and wanted to express their opinion, feel free.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: This bill in the legislature which Marxist has not moved
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: on to committee yet, but essentially would be allowing it
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: authorizing the the use of these these controllable thermostats in homes. Okay,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: thermostats are the first step, by the way, next it's
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: going to be you know, uh, electric usage meters and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: on all kinds of stuff. And I harken back to
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the you know, the years of the seventies, the Carter administration.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Do you remember the energy You're not old enough for
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the energy crisis, no, but I know about it. Okay,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the energy crisis. The world was ending. We had odd
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and even gasoline days, or you know, if your if
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: your license plate ended in an odd number, you filled
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: up on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. If it was an
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: even number, it was Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. And stuff
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: like that going on around the country. And the prediction was,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: of course, we were going to be out of energy
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: by the year of two thousand, there will be no
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: oil left, and and uh, it was just stupid. And
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: President Carter said, you know what you needed to do
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: was turn your thermostat I think it was sixty eight
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: sixty eight degrees in the winter, put your thermostat on
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: sixty eight and he advised Americans to wear sweaters.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Well he are sweaters.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Well yet, that's because I looked really good at him.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: But he advised Americans to wear sweaters. They have been
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: really since the mid seventies, since the oil embargoes against
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: OPEC and so forth in the early seventies, they have
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: been trying to to micromanage the power use of the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: people of the United States of America. I say, I contend,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: if they've got it and we want it and we're
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: paying for it, nobody needs to control how much electricity
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: or natural gas I use in my home. It's that
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: since I don't want your thermostat, where some corporate being
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: counter can decide that, well, they're using way too much
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: electricity on the west side of Columbus. We're going to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: need a lower power consumption over there, and you know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: starting rolling brownouts because they control my electricity use.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Is there a finite amount of electricity and power?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: No? No, because it can be generated, right, whether it's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: from fossil fuels or otherwise, electricity can continue to be generated.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: It is. It is essentially an endless source. Right.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: We need nuclear interview?
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and we should probably pronounce it correctly too.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: But the yes, George w nuclear, Yeah, that's that always
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: made me laugh about him.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Nuclear energy, you'd never say it right.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: But we had nuclear we had, you know, an incident
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: with a nuclear power plant. What was that seventy seventy seven,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: three Mile Island.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's before my time, but yeah.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: And then of course Michael Douglas did the China syndrome,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: which terrified people. The China syndrome did for nuclear energy
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: what Jaws did for beach visits. It made people freak
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: out and oh no, this is gonna happen. There's no reason,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: except perhaps a lack of practice. There's no reason in
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, heading into twenty twenty six why we
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: should not be looking very hard at nuclear power again.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: The technology has stabilized. With this, it's as safe as
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: anything else, and far more productive and not incumbent upon
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the wind blowing the mills or the sun shining on
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the panels that day. The power is just generated, which
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: makes perfect sense. And it is I mean, it is
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: not infinite, but there is enough nuclear material available to
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: us that we can go for a very very, very
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: long time. I'm talking centuries so it would make sense
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: that we start investing in these things. And again, as
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: we were discussing this up a couple hours ago, you know,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: instead of the state throwing money at these data farms
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: that are coming in and using just ridiculous amounts of energy,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and I don't know why. If you can tell me that,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: by the way, please call me a two to one
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: WTV in because I would like to know the benefit
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to the people of the state of Ohio after construction
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to these data centers. Tell me, because I don't get it.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I honestly don't get it. Yes, construction crews will be
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: hired to build the build holdings, the HVAC people will
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: have a ball in there installing all the required cooling
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and wiring. I get that. But after it's done, after
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: it's up and running, and there's you know, half a
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: dozen people if that that will be working at this place,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: what is the benefit to the people of the state
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: of Ohio. Because I truly don't see it, and maybe
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at it from the wrong angles. Act I mean,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: am I missing something in your mind as far as
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: a way that it benefits over the long run the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: people of the state. Nodding he's nodding. No, see, he's
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: breaking my rules. I just I don't see where it's
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: a big benefit. They don't need a staff. It's just
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a series of servers. That's all it is. They're not
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: bringing in a bunch of work, no high paying, long
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: term employment situations. So what's the benefit. Broadband internet means
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: no matter where that data center is going to be located,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you have access to it. Or maybe that's just me
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: again A two one nine eight six A two one WTV.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: And I think it's ridiculous that the people of Ohio
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: once again are going to take it on the nose,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: up the up, the nose, on the chin whatever, from
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: from essentially a bunch of you know, highly paid, well
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: lobbied special interest while we're left holding the monthly bag
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: for these bills.
