  Speaker 1: Greeting salutations. Welcome my friends to another edition of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Power Hour on six ten double UTV, and I'm Chuck Douglas.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: You know who you are. Do we take it from there?
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: We get one hour together, which means I talk really
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: fast and you must listen even faster. My number eight
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: two one nine eight eight six eight two one double
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: UTV in or one eight hundred sixty ten double UTV
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and I as a general rule, As a general rule,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I have a pretty good sense of humor. However, those
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: times when I just belly laughed, just just just a raucous,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: uncontrolled laugh, are few and far between. I maybe it's
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I don't old and grumpy. I have no idea, but
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I don't laugh out loud, as they say, nearly as
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: much as I used to today. However, during one of the breaks,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I normally will hit the Queen on the video messenger,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: just to check in see how her day is going,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: tell her I love her, and blah blah blah and uh.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: When I checked on her today, she was harvesting from
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the garden and she showed me a you know, nice
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: belp her she pulled the day, and then a couple
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: of other peppers I said, are what are those? Are
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: those the jalapenos? She goes, now, I don't think that
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the jalapenos. They don't have the right shape. And she
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: bit into one. She could No, it's it's not u
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: it's not hot or anything. I said, what about that
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: other one? She goes, I don't know. She took a
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: bite of that, and she jumped up and she's like
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and ran to the kitchen and grabbed a study delight
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: or something out of the refrigerator had chugged it down.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: The second one was apparently hot, and I experienced a
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: belly laugh for the first time in quite a while,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and I just, I don't know. It was uh, it
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: was different and yet very very welcome. I'm still not
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: sure what kind of pepper it was exactly. I just
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: know that it it made her jump, which was kind
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of fun. Anyway. I wanted to share that with you,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: just because making fun of her is what I'm all about.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: If you're a big Olive Garden person, I got some
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: news coming up for you. If you go there a lot.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: If you go down to Olive Garden a lot, this
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: is something you probably want to know, and you're gonna
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: have to move quickly on it and that whole daylight
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: saving time thing we're talking to uh uh. You know
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Mark and I were talking before he left about the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: what I considered to be the ridiculousness of this effort
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to lock in our time on daylight saving time. It's
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: back again, you know. Another vote in the House got
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to go to the Senate, and I just I think
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it's silly, So I'm gonna get into that as well.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: A two one nine eighty six number e two one WTV.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm not really sure why, but Dave is standing
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: by on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone lines. Dave,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: how are you?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I'm good.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I'm twisted, but otherwise fine.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Hey, you know this is someone noticed down in your
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: part of the neighborhood where they're putting bricks in on
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the road. Do you have any idea why or what
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the purpose is for that?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Putting bricks in on on what roads?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Well, on hilltop, I can't tell you the roads I
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: know off my head.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: By you mean replacing the pavement or pulling up the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: asphalt and exposing the old brick streets, No, they're.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Pulling up the pavement and putting new bricks in.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: There putting new bricks in Wow, I don't know. I
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: actually many years ago, as the Hilltop area was developing,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that Highland West community, that was something that I was
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: actually in favor of because I thought, you know, if
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: German village can have brick streets and it's considered a
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: high priced area, and you can put bricks around that
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: development down there at Capitol Square, why is it that
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you covered up the beautiful brick streets in the Hilltop
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: with asphalt. And the city's response was, well, it makes
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it too difficult for the snowplows to do the brick streets.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I said, but the snowplows never come to our neighborhood.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: So what difference does that make now? If they're doing
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: it today, I haven't heard anything about it, but my
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: guess would be not for esthetics, but probably because of
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: speed control. They think they can, you know, slow cars
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: down on the streets. If the brick streets or brick
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: which generally tends to be true, maybe that I'll have
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: to check into that. That's news to me.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: It does flowing down, but I'll tell you what, it
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: is going to be hard. So soap positan brick aren't
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: even even when you go down through there.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Well they should be even see that's do a good
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: job of it. When several years ago, about four or
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: five years ago, when they repaved Haig Avenue, I don't
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: know if you had a chance to go through there
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: when it was down to its bricks, But there was
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: something kind of romantic about that, I guess because I
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: grew up in the neighborhood. Seeing hagu Avenue down to
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: bricks was very cool. Plus there were also the tracks
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of the old street car that were exposed. Yeah, I mean,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I like it. But you know, and I've said this
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: billion times, you can take a neighborhood and spend all
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the money you want on landscaping and nice streets and
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff until you change the people.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: You're just developing, you know, a nice looking ghetto.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And that is and that's exactly what they're doing.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's that's a shame. But I will, Dave,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to check into that. I appreciate you letting
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: me know about it. I haven't heard anything about it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I pointed out many, many times the architectural similarities between
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Old Clintonville and the Hilltop are very strong. Those homes
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: are very very very very similar, and then a lot
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of cases may have been built by the same people
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: over the years. The difference is the people. When you've
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: got people that cut their grass and sweep in front
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of their house, plant flowers, keep their home up painted
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: when it needs painting, don't you know, sit on the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: front porch and blair music or parked cars on the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: front yard. The value is high. Therefore, you can go
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to Clintonville and find a house you know, that's four
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty nine thousand dollars. You can find exactly
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the same house over in the Hilltop area for one
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty thousand. Why people people make the difference.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: And.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: You know, if they're doing I don't know, I don't
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: know why the bricks. That's a nice thing, but quite frankly,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: there's other infrastructure things that need to be done. There
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: is on Northey Avenue there's a sign up one of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: those blue city signs water leak, and there's water all
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: over the street. And over on Roy's Avenue in the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Westgate area there's a blue sign up water leak and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: there's water all over the street. One of my neighbors
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: has has water coming up out of their front yard
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and flowing down the street, you know, while your water
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: bills are going up, So they could be fixing these
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: leaks real quick. I'm just saying. And a city inspector
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: came out yesterday looked at it for about two minutes.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: The neighbor didn't get a sign. There's nothing there that
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: says water leak. But you know, I come home every
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: night and I'm looking at the little river flowing down
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the street that she's probably paying for because it's in
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: her yard. So I'm quite sure the city's going to
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: find a way to say it's her responsibility. And at
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the same time, her water bill has got to be
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: going through the roof. But we've got this ancient plumbing
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: running under the city are sewer lines, which they are
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: replacing right now in a lot of areas, These antiquated
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: galvanized pipelines running around the city, the combined storm and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: sanitary sewer, which was a very bad idea from the beginning.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: There's lots of stuff that needs to be fixed before
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: we move on to you know, spending money on pretty things,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, just seems reasonable to me. Also,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: are you an olive garden guy? Yeah, I like olive garden.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I haven't been there many times. A few times. I've
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: been there a few times. Yeah, it's good. I mean,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: pasta is so high in carbohydrates, which you know, that's
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: not good for me to eat a bunch of it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: But when I go, yeah, the pasta and the breadsticks,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I'll put them away, man, the breadsticks or killer. Well,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: they're bringing back apparently what they call one hundred dollars
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: unlimited pasta. This is actually if you go there a lot.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: This actually sounds like because I remember last time I went,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I took you know, the queen was with me and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: my daughter and her ridiculous excuse for a boyfriend right
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: after she graduated from high school. And I think it
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: was one hundred and forty seven dollars if I'm not mistaken.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's not expensive expensive, but it's a
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: few bucks. With this deal, it's a one hundred dollars
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: pasta pass. It is good for thirteen weeks one hundred
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: bucks plus tax. So here that would mean one hundred
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and eight dollars unlimited access to the never ending pasta
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: bowl for those thirteen weeks. Also includes a full week
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: of early access before it opens to the general public.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: There are only ten thousand of these Pasta passes that
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: are going to be available, and they are selling July sixteenth,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: what is that, Friday thirteen fourteen, fifteen Thursday, So Thursday
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: at two pm Eastern time, and that's when they start
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: selling them pastapass dot com and they say you need
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to act fast because passes have often sold out within
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: minutes of being released. So this is a nationwide thing.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Only ten thousand of them available. But for one hundred dollars,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: that's not bad at all. One hundred dollars thirteen weeks
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: plus a bonus week, so fourteen weeks of unlimited Pasta
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: at Olive Garden for one hundred bucks. That that right,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: there's a deal. That's pretty awesome. If you want to
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: enjoy the never ending possible early you can join Olive
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Gardens Free E E Club for early access beginning on
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: August twenty fourth. But this is yeah, that's that sounds
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: actually like a very good deal. I wonder if you
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: can share it, Like I could buy one and hand
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: it off to you, so you could go some days
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and I could go, but you probably third. They probably
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: don't want that. No, I don't know if they would smile.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know how it could depend on the location
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: if they strenuously check it or not.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna need wait a minute, hang on, wouldn't
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: that be a messed up world where we're still arguing
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: over ID to vote? But you need ID to get
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: some PASTA Yeah, you need ID. That would ah, that
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: would be hilarious. All right, it t that into the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Save Act. I understand by the way, I've seen a
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: couple of reports, but I have not seen any mainstream
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: media reporting yet that the uh, the Save Act has
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: been in core upraid by the House into the Defense
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: spending bill and that now that's going to go over
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to the Senate. And I guess Mike Johnson said they
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: were going to get this past one way or another,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and this is the way they're going to try. So
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: we'll have more about that, I'm sure tomorrow. Anyway. Oh,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the daylight saving Yeah, we're going to get into the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: daylight saving time next. I'm gonna let you guys A
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: two one nine eight eight six. You can have your say,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: because I'm like that debate discussion, disagreement with respect. I'm
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to put you down, but I think
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: it's stupid. Not that you're stupid. I think it's stupid
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: that we are talking about legislation to nationally deceive ourselves
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: into thinking the time is something different than what it is.
