• 1:34
  Speaker 2: stood empty and needless to say, the grass is a mess,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the landscaping is a mess. And this is where I

  Speaker 2: home is going up on the market tomorrow and we've
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: taken wonderful care.

  Speaker 2: The neighbors are all, you know, we don't know why
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: these people haven't moved in.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Is it owned locally or is it owned by some
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: foreign corporation somewhere.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: It is owned locally. The people that own it are foreign,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: but it is it is owned locally.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I would reach out to them. There's nothing wrong with
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: you try. You know, you're trying to. Worthington Hills is
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a great area. I've shown houses up there. I love it.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: It's very it's traditional. It is It reminds you remember
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the old TV show Family with Christy McNichol. Worthington Hills
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: reminds me of the neighborhood where they lived.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, it's a beautiful community.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: My office, by the way, is right across the street
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: from you, just so you know. Oh, stop right on
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the other side of three fifteen. I'm right across three
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: fifteen from you.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness. Well, I have to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: tell you. To make it feel better, my realtor lives
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: a block away from me.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, maybe I can sell their house. Seriously, I put
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: your realtor on it. Have them look them up, find
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: any contact information. There's app as far as I'm concerned.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: At least I do have. I have texted him three
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: times and asked him to please, please please mow the
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: yards to help us sell our home, to help the
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: rest of the neighborhood.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Then the county, the county Board of Health is the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: next step, because this is going to attract vermin in
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the heat of summer. Knock it down now. So that, seriously,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can't be you can't be nice to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: people who don't care.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I have. Yeah, I agree totally with you.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I reached out to my civic association. But you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a civic association is different than a homer R. Really
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: there's nothing a civic association can do.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Kind of a toothless lion there, but Susie, I got
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to run. But that's what I would do, seriously, I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: would contact the Board of Health if there. If they
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: will not comply immediately in respond to your media, just
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: tell them that my next stop is the county Board
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of Health because this is a health hazard this time
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of year.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: That's a good that's a good one.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I didn't think of that best of Lake.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Best of Lucky on the sale. I hope it goes
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: well for you. I'm looking forward to a very a
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: very productive and prosperous second part of this summer. Things
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: are a changing out there. Bottom of the hour, Let's
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: get a final check of the traffic situation. I know, uh,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: we had it kind of rough early on from pools
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: plus your total pool people house it in Johnny Hill. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: We are back Power Hour on six ten WU TV
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and my number eight two one nine eight eighty six
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: A two one dou WU TV, and I got a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: senator story out of Massachusetts. I want to share with
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you also some good news about that guy that was
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: convicted with the ridiculous election interference thing over the hill
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Ory Clinton post he put up on Facebook. I got
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: some good news on that, and I don't know how
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I feel about this. One thirty seven years on death
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: row now with dementia, judge finally decides it's time for
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the execution. I will fill you on that before we
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: get out of here too. A two nine six two
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: WTV and John has something on a homeowner's association. John,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Jock?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Hey?
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I agree with you normally ninety nine point nine percent
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: of the time, good American. But homeoverer association one crap.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: There are a bunch of stuck up snobs that try
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: to enforce their own thing. You have city ordinances that
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: stop you know, ninety nine percent of what they're stopping,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: and you're paying them, uh in your payment or a
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: monthly fee to do that. Like the guy with the water.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: That's a prime example why you don't want them. So
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: what if the cooler was in the garage, You're still
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: going to have a problem.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, like I said, all all the homeowners
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: associations are are documents. They come with the property. Now,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the people who run things, like I remember we had
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: an issue with garage doors, garage doors being open, which
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: actually was a stipulation in the documents that they weren't
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: supposed to be open, which you know, somebody filed a
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: complaint and we ended up nullifying that rule from the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: documents because it was stupid. Right, So, I mean, as
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: long as you've got reasonable people enforcing the deed restrictions there,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I don't consider them a problem. And if you're if
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: you're going into a neighborhood with an association, that's that's
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the same as how much your interest rate's going to be,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: how much you're going to pay for the house. That's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: another thing that you need to look at as to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: whether or not this works for me or not.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Correct. And I lived in a condo one time and
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: they had a condo association, and one of my kids
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: busted the glass in my front screen door. So I
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: went out and got a screen door and replaced it. Well,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: the next day I got someone knocking on my front
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: door and it was the president of the HMO or
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: the condo association, saying I had too much glass in
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: my door.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Wow, too all right, So the door had to have
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: not more than what for.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Something like that? Holy correct? Guess what. I went to
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: jail that.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Night, really you got that crazy over something that stupid.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I would have just defied them and let him take
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: me to court.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Well, now he got a little HMO crazy and I
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: crazy back. And it's just I'm sorry. Ninety nine point
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: nine percent of the time. You don't need them.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, Jay to each his own, buddy. I
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: appreciate the call A two one nine eight eighty six.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: The number A two one WUTV. And like I said,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: if you've got idiots, this applies to a homeowner association,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: condo association, a city council, a township trustee board, state legislature,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the Congress, every If people are idiots, power hungry, see me,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: see me, idiots, it's not going to go well. I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: don't care how beautiful the founding documents to this country
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: might be. When you have idiots sitting on the bench,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: when you have idiots serving in Congress, they're going to
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: find a way to use those same beautiful words to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: make you miserable. That's just human nature. And if you've
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: got good people, they see the stupidity and they try
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to do something about it. If you have or hungry idiots,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you get nothing. All right, I'm so hang on a second,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I want to share something. I'm answering stuff on Facebook
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: because I'm always on there. It's radio right now. Facebook,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty five. Facebook is radio. See it's this
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: is all. It's intermingled now, man, social media all and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: air stuff. It's all intermingled now. Yeah, I don't use it.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I had somebody yesterday asked me, is say, hey, does
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: your email still work? Because I've sent you some emails.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: If you send me emails or direct messages, which please
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: stop doing that in the middle of the night, for
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: God's sake, I gotta sleep sometimes. But you send me
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: something that is a statement that does not require an answer,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I don't answer it. It's that simple. If you ask
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: me a question, I will try to answer. But if
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: it's somebody's hey, I got one, not there. He keeps
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: sending me stuff from Spotify. What he's listening to right now?
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Love you mean it, but I don't care. Really, I
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: don't care what you're listening to right now. It just
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: it that doesn't matter to I hope you enjoy it,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: but that's really no reason to send me direct messages.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm listening to Hank Junior's Greatest It's good
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: for you get drunk and enjoy, but I don't care.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: But if you ask me, you know, didn't you say
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: something about seeing Hank Williams Junior in concert? Yeah, well,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I've got a moment. I will answer that question for you.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: But to answer to answer a statement just doesn't make
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: sense to me. And I'm that way with everybody. The
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Queen hates that about me. She will, you know, send
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: me a text and tell me here's how she feels
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: or here's what she's doing or whatever. And then she said,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: so you're not gonna say anything, What is there to say.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: You just told me I'm going to the store tonight
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that you didn't ask me if it's okay. You didn't
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: say can you watch the kids? You didn't you told
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: me I'm going to this. That doesn't require a response.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: You have said I will do what I can do.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: If I can't do it, then I'll say you're gonna
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: have to go without my help or whatever. I can't
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: be there at that time. But if it doesn't require that,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: then you just take it for what it is and comply.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: And I'm like that with everybody, everybody. In fact, the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: reason I'm on am right now is because of an
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: FM and I've shared this so it's no big secret.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: But I got I got an email asking me and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: one other person in the building if we would be
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: interested in an endorsement of a product. I took a
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: look at the product, took a look at what they offered,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: took a look at what the cost was. I said, nope,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: you know that's not something I want to do. The
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: email said, if you are interested, let me know by
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: this date, because we need to let them know. I
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: was not interested. Therefore I did not respond. That does
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: that not make sense to you? Makes sense to me? Okay,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I understand where the confusion is. So like three weeks
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: after that, I get this nasty email saying you didn't.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Respond to me. You should never ignore email from me.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Don't you ever let that happen again. So I said, wait,
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: I'll hang on, Wait a minute. Here's the problem, nutcase.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: You said, if I'm interested, let you know by this date.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: I was not, so there was nothing to let you know.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: I will never and this is how I've been forever.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: I will never put my name on something that I
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: don't believe in. I'm not gonna tell people to spend
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: their money if I wouldn't spend my money on it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: That's simple. You said, if you're interested, let me know.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: I wasn't, so I didn't. But since you want to
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: be such a pain in my butt, guess what. I'm
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: selling lots of houses right now and I really don't
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: need this gig. And that was my last night on
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: the air, which is why, which is.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Why you get me here today. Sometimes things work out
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: very very well. Hey, I landed at the place I've
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: dreamed of my whole life. Music is playing already. Seriously,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: how quickly does sixty minutes go?
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: I mean it feels like sixty hours.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Oh you shut up, man, I don't even know why
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I like you.
