  Speaker 1: top of the hour chuck douglas the power hour 610
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: wtv and um a couple of things uh radio wise
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: i wanted to share with you uh actually three things
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: first of all if you're on my facebook page i
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: posted uh i believe it was day before yesterday i
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: was uh i was sad to learn that i it
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: took a month before i even knew and uh One
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of our old news people from this radio station, Sarah Nichols,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: had actually posted it on a radio forum Facebook page,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: which is how I found out. I posted the obituary
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: of a gentleman named Azel Vander. If you've been listening
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to 610WTVN for many, many years, you will remember him
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: as Captain Midnight, Don Alexander, who had what a smooth
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: radio voice. But he was newsman here when I first
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: started over at 42 East Gay Street many, many years ago.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Don was Don was always gentlemanly and encouraging and just
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a wonderful presence. He taught at Ohio State University as well.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: And he was just he was a good guy. And
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry it took me a month to find out
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: that he had passed away. But condolences to his family.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Also got a text tonight. Blazer was texting me during
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the hour there. He said he's a
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: data guy, not a data guy. So he's right. He's
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: an American. Just saying. Also, one of my old program
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: directors who also used to work here at 610WTV and many, many, many,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: many years ago, Mike Evans, who turned out to be
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: my program director at WXMX, which is defunct and gone now.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: We had Robert Urich, the guy that played Dan Tana
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: on Vegas was our station voice, which was a really
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: odd choice as far as I was concerned. Oh, this
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: is Robert Urich. You're listening to the new mix, 98.9.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: A better mix of music. I'm like, really? But it
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: was a station program largely for ladies. And it was
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a great experience and loved working there, loved working with him.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And then, boom, there he pops up on my phone tonight.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of old home week. And I like that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I like the memories, man. 821-9886. 821-WTVN is the number.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Brian Steele was on with me yesterday. We talked about something. Boom,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: there it was, and the headlines came to fruition this morning.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I've got to hit that before I get out of here.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: But Deb is on the LegacyRetirementGroup.com phone lines, hanging on patiently. Deb,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you're on 610 WTVN.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Hey, Chuck. The word data and data.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: When I retired from being a sheet metal worker a
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: few years ago, And we started that whole thing with,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: you know, and trust me, I didn't even know that
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: COVID was going on. I work so much.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: And I was so proud to have these.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Data centers.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: And I didn't even know what that meant when I
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: put it on my time sheet, how.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Many hours did you spend a day working on this.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: And I told my boss and I said, data center.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: He goes, no, it's data center. That's what they want
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: to be called, the VA data. I'm like, Now, I'm
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: like 64 years old, and I'm like, I've always used.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: The term, it's data.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I guess it depends on how you use the word,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: because if you're talking to someone, I don't know if
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: it's a noun or a pronoun or a verb, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you go, what does the data show you?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: That's how I was raised. See, I have always thought,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and I've complained about this many times before. Like I said,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: two consonants should shorten the vowel sound before it. So
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: when I grew up, bussing was B-U-S-S-I-N-G. The two S's
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: made it bussing. Now it's spelled B-U-S-I-N-G, which as far
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: as I'm concerned is boosing. But that's how they... The
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: word canceled used to have two L's in it. Now
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: it only has one.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I don't understand the new ways of doing things.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: When I took typing in junior high school at the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: end of a sentence, period, and then two spaces before
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you began the next sentence. That is no longer acceptable now.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: It is acceptable to me because my friends bitch at
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: me when I'm texting them something and they're like, why
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: do you have so many spaces between your periods? I'm like,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that's the way I was raised.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the rules of communication have changed, and I don't
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: know why, because our communication was fine. It was effective.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Everyone understood everyone else. Why is it necessary to change
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the way that we spell and— I just don't understand.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: The rules were the rules, and they worked.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I'm a firm believer if it's not broke, don't.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Try to fix it. Amen. I appreciate you, Debbie. Thank
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you very much. And I'm still going to say data
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: most of the time. But as I say, so many
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: people are saying data now that I'm just, you know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I'm acquiescing to their pronunciation, not intentionally, just out of habit,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I guess. Some things I will do like that. Other
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: things I will not. Norton Road will always have a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: T in the middle. It will be Norton Road. It
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: will not be Norton. I cannot understand Norton Road or
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Miller-Kelton or why. It actually takes effort to mispronounce the word.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: You have to work to eliminate the T in the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: middle of those words, and yet people are doing it
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: all the time now. You put the T in, don't you? Norton.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: I don't understand how somebody would get to the point
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: where they don't enunciate it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: They do it all the time.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Unless they hear it from somebody else. I get it
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: if you're growing up. But who started saying it incorrectly?
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: The first person? I don't know. I don't know who
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: did it. You know, I hear Dayton all the time. Dayton. Dayton, Ohio. No.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: You know, when Moon Unit Zappa released Valley Girl, maybe, okay,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you could get away with that. But not now. Not now. Dayton,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the T is in there. Pronounce it. I know I
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: sound like get off my lawn, but I just, there
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: was no reason to change the rules. There was no reason. B-U-S-S-I-N-G.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: That was fine. We just keep changing things for the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: sake of changing. Shortening things. I hate all the shortening
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of stuff. When I was a kid, somebody tried to
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: call me Chaz once. I got mad. I told my mom.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Why would they do that? I told my mom. I'm like,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: they called me Chaz because it was an insult. Because
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: that was like a cute way of saying Charles, I guess. Okay.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And when I was a little kid in school, I
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: was a Charles. But I didn't like the sound of Chaz.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Chaz just didn't work for me. No. And I cried
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to my mom. I said, he called me Chaz.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Chaz. She actually called my teacher, Mrs. Ream, and said,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: don't let them call him Chaz.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: He doesn't like that. Next, the power hour with Chaz Douglas.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: See, I don't even. Yuck. Yuck. Cooper Stadium before they
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: shut it down. The Coop. No, no, didn't like that.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: It didn't like. Back when the Columbus Redbirds were our
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: baseball team and not the Columbus Clippers. When it was
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the Columbus Redbirds. Going way back in time. The Columbus Redbirds.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: When the Columbus Red. Okay. The Coop might have made sense.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: The chickens would have been even better. The Columbus chickens
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: at the coop. That makes sense. But shortening Cooper Stadium
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to the coop? No, didn't like it. Schottenstein Center, the shot? No,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: don't like it. What's so difficult about saying Schottenstein Center? See, again,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: is dinosauric a word? No, but it should be. I'm
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: making that up right now. Damn it, that's my word. Dinosauric.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: We can send a note to Miriam Webster.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I like the old ways. If you meet someone calling
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: them Mr. or Miss or Mrs. or Ms. I mean,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I can deal with Ms. I prefer that. As a stranger,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: you don't know me. Now, because I'm on the radio,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit different. Complete strangers go, hey, Chuck,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: how you doing? But if we were to meet out
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: in a business setting or something like that, I would
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: prefer the title until we get to know each other.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I do not like titles with first names. Pastor Dave?
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I don't like that. If the man's name is David Westminster,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: it's Pastor Westminster, no matter how difficult. Pastor Dave. There
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: actually was a pastor Dave on TV when I was
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: a kid and he would always end his sermon with,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: and may the Lord bless you real good. Real good.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Real good.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Not blessing you, but real good.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I just, I think titles, there's a formality and a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: respect in titles. When you are first meeting someone, it,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: there's no reason to assume that you may address them
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the same way their spouse does. So, uh, Yeah, I
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: like the Mr. and Miss and Mrs. and Ms. until
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you get to know one another. Or the person says,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: just call me whatever. Chaz, yes, call me Chaz. So
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: yesterday I had Brian Steele, Fraternal Order of Police, Dewey
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Stokes Lodge No. 9 on with us. And I was
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: axing the question, axing the question about the, we had
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: 17 arrested over on my beloved west side yesterday in
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a drug house. And there were some shots fired, not
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: by the police, but by the people inside the drug house.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: And you know they're expert marksmen because they're all drugged up.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Last week, police saw to some witnesses after that drive-by
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: shooting at the funeral and somebody opened fire I still
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: believe that was on the officers and not on the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: witnesses one officer did fire back but again no one
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: was hit unfortunately they did not get a bad guy
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: as far as I know they're still out and about
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I said you know Brian look People are firing at
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: our officers, the guys with badges and guns and tasers
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and nightsticks. They are firing on them. What is the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: average person supposed to feel like walking outside in the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: city of Columbus at this point? If they're willing to
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: fire at you guys, they give less than a crap
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: about us. And this morning, about 11 o'clock, up in
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the Sandusky area, boom, here we go. Officers stabbed in
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the neck. Sandusky County suspect is on the run. There
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: is a manhunt underway. Last update was this guy had
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: not been found yet. Stabbing happened on West Madison Street
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: just after 11 a.m. on Wednesday. Authorities released a picture
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: searching for Scott Dodd, who was last seen with a
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: scruffy beard. This kills me, too. Last seen with a
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: scruffy beard, wearing a brown, dark gray or dirty tan
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: shirt and blue jeans. The first thing he's going to
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: do is shave the beard and put on some different clothes.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: But they always tell you what they're wearing. That carjacking
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that was in the news today that happened like August 15th.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Did you see that? The suspects are described as two
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: black males wearing all black. Do you think maybe they've
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: changed their clothes since August 15th?
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I understand if it's. Something that happened at 8 a.m.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: and they're reporting it at 8 a.m.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Or something. But after that, drop it. You're telling me
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: what they were wearing a week and a half ago.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: That's not helpful. Then one of the suspects pointed a
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: black handgun. Would it matter if it was a silver
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: or purple handgun? Why does the color of the handgun matter?
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Such silly reporting. Anyway. Back to this. What are you laughing?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Don't laugh at me when I'm talking about silliness.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: No, I just, when I report people, I have to
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: see their gun first to know what color it is
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: to make sure I have the right person to turn
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: it into Crimestoppers.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: ABC6 covered this story earlier, and at that time, the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: officer had been taken to Toledo Hospital and was in surgery.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Condition was not immediately known. But at this point, I
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: would hope that he's out of surgery. This happened at
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: about 11 a.m. this morning. It's almost 7 o'clock in
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the evening. This guy... Nothing remarkable about him. White guy
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: with a light brown, almost a red tint beard, mustache,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and a full head of hair. You can catch him
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: at ABC6OnYourSide. com. There's a very nice senior picture of him
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: right there. But keep your eyes open. This is what
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about. No respect for law. No respect for order.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: No respect for the police. There's absolutely no reason that
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: any citizen... should leave their house thinking, well, the criminals
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: will respect me. I'm a gentleman. No, they don't care, man.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: They don't care. Little old ladies getting carjacked out by
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the airport at the gas station. Police officers getting stabbed
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: in the neck, shot at. The bad guys don't care.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: We have laws against that sort of thing. The bad
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: guys don't care about your laws. Which is why I
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: get so offended every time we pass yet another law
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: to restrict law-abiding citizens. Because they only affect us. They
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: only affect, you know, we're going to serve bratwurst after
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: 10 p.m. in the short north. How's that going to
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: fix the situation? And if somebody wants a bratwurst after
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: 10 p.m. in the short north, they're going to get it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Because they don't care about the law. They're going to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: go rob a store after that because they don't care
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: about the law. The law only affects the people that
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about. The people that you
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: do have to worry about don't care about your laws.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: That shouldn't be hard to understand, but daggone it seems
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to be. Every time another one comes, we're going to
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: limit the magazine size in your weapons to 29 rounds.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Can't have a 30-round magazine. That'll be a felony in Columbus.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Do you think the people that are doing the drive-bys care?
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: They're doing drive-bys, for gosh sakes. They don't care about, oh,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: you're going to attack on a felony because I had
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: a 30-round magazine. After I murdered three people. Yeah, I
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: just dropped three people walking down the street, but yeah, oh,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: you're going to hit me with a 30-round magazine thing.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: All righty then. They don't care.
