  Speaker 1: Greeting salutations, welcome my friends to the teams the edition
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: of the Power Hour. Douglas, you know who you are,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and we take it from there. We get one hour together,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: which means I talk really fast and you mustlicit even faster.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: My number eight two one nine, eight eighty six, eight
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: two one WTVN or eight hundred and six to ten WTVN.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: On the serious tip today, Columbus City Council once again
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: just making no sense to me if you're seriously they
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: took action. They took action last night allegedly to help
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: protect the rights of renters in the city of Columbus,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the most obvious thing that they could do to help
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: renters in the city of Columbus. Of course they're not
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: going to do. And I'm sure, I'm sure there are
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: reasons for that, but I don't need the lawsuit, so
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I won't tell you what I think those reasons are.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to get into that momentarily. I also
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: want to talk about the police chase video that's been
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: released now, the dash cam from the cruiser, the Columbus
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: cruiser that was responding when they got the ten three call,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the the officer under fire call from Mifflin Township and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the officer got into a wreck. And the comments, the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: comments that I have read, some of you people are
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: just nuts, nuts, So I got to get into that
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: too before I get into the serious stuff. Though. Wanting
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to tell you, I didn't even know that was it.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Sasha or Malia, one of the Obama girls has changed
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: her name, but they don't say in this article that
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I'm reading from USA today, they don't say what she
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: changed her name to. If it's Michael, I'm gonna die. Seriously,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, but changed as an attempt to push
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: away from her famous family is how it's being construed.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: But Michelle says that's not the case. She and her
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: sister just don't want people to think they're not going
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to work, that they're freeloaders, that they're going to get
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: by on a name. Personally, I'm wondering if it's so
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: when they register as Republicans. Michelle and Barrock don't know.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying. Just on the musical front, Rod Stewart,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to talk about Rod yesterday,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: but I alluded to the story because at the American
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Music Awards he was impressive, not so much his voice
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: because he kind of he almost talked forever young as
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: opos because he can't hit the high notes. So he's
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: eighty for goodness sake. But his physical presence on the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: stage was quite impressive. That night. He skipped up onto
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the stage and I just got a leg cramp thinking
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: about him skipping up onto the stage. But he skipped
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and he came out and the first line of the song,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: may the Good Lord Be with You down that sounded good.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: But then the second line, it's like, Okay, he's not
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: even gonna try to reach for the high notes. But
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: his physical performance was strong. However, he had a Las
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Vegas concert scheduled for the first of June and he
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: canceled that due to some health concerns. So now I'm worried,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I you know, because he was so impressive coming out there,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: eighty years old, looking good, dancing and doing his thing,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and I just I hope all goes well for Rod's
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: to it. I found out something from somebody else canceling
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: their twenty twenty five tour dates. First of all, I
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: didn't know they were still touring. Secondly, I had no
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: idea that prior to the one and only hit that
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: they ever had. They were in They were in traffic
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: in Fleetwood, Mac. I didn't know that you have any
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: idea what I'm talking about. No, you're too young. You
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: wouldn't know. His name was Dave Mason. He'd had one hit,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it went to number twelve back in nineteen seventy said
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: this will be you and me, and we just disagree.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: It was a mediocre song. I mean, it was cute.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: It was kind of along lines of like Captain of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Her Heart or something, but it just, you know, it
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: was just cute.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds awful.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: It wasn't much of a song. But for some reason
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: health concerns and he has apparently he had some sort
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: of heart infection that he contracted in March and is
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: canceling all of his dates in twenty twenty five. So
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: if you were among those who knew Dave Mason was
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: still touring and we're planning to see him, no that
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: won't be happening. And last, but not least, probably the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: most offensive piece of musical information I have to share
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: with you today. Somehow, some way, And I'm not sure
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: how this happened, because every time I hear this song,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I don't see Rick Astley, I see Brian from Family Guy.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not joking. This song, Never Gonna Give You Up,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: has now reached one billion streams on Spotify. There was
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a time when we had taste. I mean, it's okay,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: it's an okay song.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Just that fhy I. My son's here and he isn't
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: here dancing because he knows his song.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: If you're eleven, it's a great song. I mean, it's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: just I don't know personally. When it came to Rick
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Astley's career, he had this when you can kill that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: now because it's hurting me and making my eyes bleed
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a little bit. He had another up tipo song after
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Never Going to Give You Up, which was I Can't
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: remember the name of right over there. Then he released
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a third which was a ballad called Cry for Help,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and musically, I actually cry for Help was the what
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I really liked it was it was kind of along
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the lines of George Michael's Father Figure had that same
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: kind of feel to it. This is cry for help. See,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: this is just more musical than me either a real
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: piano or a very nice piano patch on a decent synthesizer. Yeah,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that see that I like but it doesn't have anywhere
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: near a billion streams. Never going to give you up
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: reaches a billion streams, now, yeah, that's on Spotify.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: That became a meme though, so a lot of people
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: have used that.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, getting Rick rolled was all over the place. Yeah,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: you couldn't get away from that.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Song and this second video. I've never seen cry for
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Help the music video. But he looks totally different because
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: he has long hair, like a different person.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, doesn't look the same, but I'm never going to
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: give you up.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I will give Astley two pieces of credit here. First
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of all, he used his career. His career is built
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: on a government grand Did you.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Know that I did not good for him.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: The UK had a program where you could apply for
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a grant to go into business, and I believe it
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: was or something stupid like six hundred pounds or something.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And he said, I want to go to the music business,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and he got the grant and he went to a studio,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: he cut a demo and turned that demo into a career.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: So I admire that.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Also, why do they do that in other countries, especially
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Germany with movies too, You can get grants to be like, hey,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna make a movie and they'll help you.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: That's kind of cool.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's one director who's absolutely terrible who kept making
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: movies and people are like, how are you getting financed?
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: It's because he kept getting it through the government, but
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: even they stopped it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I will also give him credit as a musician, a drummer.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Have you seen him sit down at the drums and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: do Back in Black?
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I have you showed it to me?
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I showed that. I couldn't believe it. I'm not really
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Rick Astley. Really, he's actually a pretty decent drummer, and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: singing and drumming at the same time are not the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: easiest things to do simultaneously. And he did a very
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: good job. And the fact that he did Back in
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Black for goodness sake was pretty dag gone impressive. Speaking
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: of Back in Black ac DC in Cleveland this past weekend,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you know, anybody that went, I do not even on
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: crappy cell phone video of all the people taking videos
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: that they probably shouldn't have been taking at the concert.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Brian Johnson is still awesome.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: He's never he has that voice. I don't know how
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: he does that.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: He and that's not his voice. Have you seen the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: old Brian Johnson before ac DC.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, he did not sound saying Michael.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Boublay, I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: somebody stepped on his toe real hard or something. He
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: went and he said, next thing, you know, he's the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: voice of ACDC.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: That's what he said. They asked he goes. People ask me,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: how do I sing like I do? I said, the
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: only thing I can tell you to do is drop
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: a concrete center block on your foot. Yes, that's all
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: you can do.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: And he does it well and carried on the tradition. Well, So, anyway,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I saw a lot of people their videos from their
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: cell phones and ac DC rocked the house in Cleveland.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: That was That was awesome to see as well. All right,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: so Columbus City Council, and I want you, seriously, if
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you think I'm wrong on this, get on the phone
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: during the briag and tell me. I want you to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: line up to tell me. But I think I'm right.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Columbus City Council passing an ordnance last night that is
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: allegedly to help renters in the city of Columbus with
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: rental assistance money. You know, here we go another government
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: program to take care of your bills for you, or
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: or it just it's it's it's rather annoying if you
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm not I'm gonna not gonna bother to read
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the story to you about everything that they passed. I'm
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: going to tell you that here's how I would solve
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: it if I were at ninety West Broad Street and
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and and actually using my brain cells. The one biggest
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: thing you could do for renters in Columbus, Ohio being
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: that AEP rate hikes are going into effect, being that
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Columbus water and Sewer goes up every time you turn
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: around because we pass another bond issue or levy. Since
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the city builds for water and sewer. If you are
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in the city of Columbus and you have access to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: public utilities, you should use the public utilities and be
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: billed by the public utilities. Why I'm talking about these
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: properties that use the auxiliary what do they call them?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: They're third party vendors of your utilities. Basically, so the
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: City of Columbus charges a ridiculous amount for your water bill,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: but then these companies come in and add another thirty
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: percent to it, and you pay your water bill to
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Joe's water company because they are buying the water and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: then reselling it to you. It's a public utility. I'm
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: already upset that utilities are such a profit center for
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: people when they are things that you need to survive.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: But I seriously I have an issue with the fact
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: that you know you want to make things better for renters.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: That's the first thing I would do is stop the landlords,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: because you know the landlords are getting the kickback. You
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: know they are. There's no reason for them otherwise to
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: not just let the tenants pay the water bill, put
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the bill in their name, instead of having a third
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: party company come in and revent the water services to
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the tenant and charge them a markup over what the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: government is already charging them to access something they need
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to survive. Maybe it's just me.
