- 0:01Speaker 1: Greeting sanitations. Welcome my friends. Do an edition of The
- 0:03Speaker 1: Power Hour on six ten double UTV. And yeah, I know,
- 0:06Speaker 1: I'm talking early early past because we get one hour together.
- 0:08Speaker 1: That's what I have to do. You have to listen
- 0:10Speaker 1: even faster my number eight two one nine eight eighty
- 0:12Speaker 1: six A two one double u TV and or eight
- 0:14Speaker 1: hundred and six ten double UTV. And I apologize for
- 0:17Speaker 1: the dial tone. By the way, I'm over here trying.
- 0:19Speaker 1: I heard. I heard with Blazer and Josh you were
- 0:22Speaker 1: having some issues with the phones and the phone screen,
- 0:24Speaker 1: the thing that tells me who everybody is and what
- 0:27Speaker 1: lines they're on and so forth. It's odd today. The
- 0:30Speaker 1: font is odd. Stuff is smaller than it should be.
- 0:33Speaker 1: So I'm over here messing around trying to figure it out,
- 0:34Speaker 1: get it fixed. And that's why you had a dial
- 0:36Speaker 1: tone in the middle that commercial. I apologize for that, Zach.
- 0:38Speaker 1: It was not your fault, everybody, It was not Zack's fault.
- 0:40Speaker 1: It was me. So how you doing, Okay?
- 0:43Speaker 2: How are you doing?
- 0:44Speaker 1: I guess I'm okay. By the way, when you get
- 0:45Speaker 1: done with the is the Zach attack lawn? What is it?
- 0:49Speaker 2: What is it called the Zach attack propelled lawn service.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Yeah. Once that goes down the dumper and you look
- 0:53Speaker 1: for something else to do, I'm going to suggest you
- 0:55Speaker 1: start a plastic surgery clinic. Okay, because I've discovered today
- 0:59Speaker 1: I always look at myself doing the video on the
- 1:01Speaker 1: Facebook page. I got the turkey neck and uh and
- 1:05Speaker 1: it my face is weathered. My face. I don't feel
- 1:08Speaker 1: like my face looks old. It looks weathered because because
- 1:11Speaker 1: well because I am old, and so I've I'm looking.
- 1:15Speaker 1: I'm going the turkey next, gotta go. I can almost
- 1:17Speaker 1: hear it wiggle all the la. Yeah what I'm talking about.
- 1:20Speaker 1: It's bugging me. So I think you should go into
- 1:22Speaker 1: plastic surgery next.
- 1:23Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:24Speaker 2: No, probably fix a lawnmower, get a free plastic surgery.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Yeah. Plus maybe you could, you know, pull some weeds
- 1:30Speaker 1: or something afterward.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a it's a double business.
- 1:33Speaker 1: I guess man. Bucks line is happening tomorrow night, which
- 1:36Speaker 1: means tonight is our final time together. It's every Thursday
- 1:39Speaker 1: night from six to eight pm from Legacy Retirement Group
- 1:41Speaker 1: during the Buckeye season. Buck Guy's taking on Akron this
- 1:43Speaker 1: weekend three thirty CBS, then the next week on September seventh.
- 1:48Speaker 1: It's Western Michigan seven thirty PM game that's gonna be
- 1:51Speaker 1: on the Big ten to work. They're all September fourteenth.
- 1:55Speaker 1: And the only other one I know about television four
- 1:57Speaker 1: is uh November thirtieth, which is the Michigan game. That's
- 2:02Speaker 1: a noon game, of course, and that's going to be
- 2:04Speaker 1: carried by Fox. Television is up in the air for
- 2:06Speaker 1: all the others, or at least they have not announced.
- 2:09Speaker 1: I'll put it that way. But Buckeye season is upon us,
- 2:12Speaker 1: regardless of where the temperature is out. We're there right now.
- 2:14Speaker 1: And last time I looked at Marshall's extended forecast, I
- 2:18Speaker 1: have not looked at it today. Yesterday it looked quite
- 2:21Speaker 1: favorable for Monday. Let me see if it's still the same. Yeah,
- 2:25Speaker 1: sunshine on Monday high seventy seven, Tuesdays mostly Sunday seventy eight,
- 2:29Speaker 1: Wednesday partly cloudy eighty two. So we just have to
- 2:31Speaker 1: get through this hot weekend, culminate Labor Day and we're done.
- 2:37Speaker 4: What is it?
- 2:38Speaker 1: I wanted to tell you a couple of things news
- 2:39Speaker 1: wise before I get into the restaurant stuff. The restaurant stuff,
- 2:42Speaker 1: it's a frivolous day. I'm trying not to be too serious,
- 2:44Speaker 1: not to be political or not, because I'm I tire
- 2:48Speaker 1: of it. Red Lobster announcing yesterday twenty more restaurants closing,
- 2:53Speaker 1: and it got me, the Red Lobster, it's the way
- 2:55Speaker 1: we do things, and the way we do things brings
- 2:58Speaker 1: people back. Do you remember that commercial? It just got
- 3:01Speaker 1: me thinking. You know, back in the eighties and nineties,
- 3:03Speaker 1: we had even though they were chains, they were like destinations.
- 3:08Speaker 1: We went there and it was fun, it was an experience.
- 3:13Speaker 1: And you look around today and there's nothing. Man, there's
- 3:15Speaker 1: squat Columbus has. Like Naa said, We've still got a
- 3:21Speaker 1: few Applebee's left around town. I don't know if there
- 3:24Speaker 1: are any TGI Fridays left. What else is there? Pizzia Huno's gone.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Everybody wants to support local stuff. I get that you
- 3:38Speaker 1: want to support your local businesses, But were there any
- 3:40Speaker 1: chains that you just loved go into, say in the
- 3:43Speaker 1: eighties or nineties, that that you wish were not gone.
- 3:48Speaker 1: You have fond memories. I just like because you'll probably
- 3:50Speaker 1: stir my memory and bring some stuff back that I
- 3:52Speaker 1: don't even remember. Two one nine, eight eighty six A
- 3:54Speaker 1: two to one WTVN is the number. Oh, the pipe
- 3:59Speaker 1: bomba the south side turns out not to be a
- 4:01Speaker 1: pipe bomb, at least that's what they're saying. Fbis in
- 4:03Speaker 1: BC eyes and feds are looking at it, locals looking
- 4:06Speaker 1: at it. Yesterday's a rumor was that it was a
- 4:08Speaker 1: pipe bond down on South sixth Street that blew up
- 4:10Speaker 1: that truck, And today the fire investigators say no, nope,
- 4:16Speaker 1: just a rumor. Twenty three hundred block of South sixth
- 4:19Speaker 1: just before one o'clock, I'm sorry, one thirty on Tuesday.
- 4:23Speaker 1: When you see the damage of the pickup truck, you
- 4:24Speaker 1: can see that there was an explosion outward, so the
- 4:28Speaker 1: roof is pushed up and the doors are blown off.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Columbus Fire Battalion Chief Jeffrey Geiter, or perhaps it's Keeter
- 4:35Speaker 1: said at the scene. So atfn FBI both called in
- 4:38Speaker 1: to insist with the assist with the investigation. Not a
- 4:41Speaker 1: pipe bomb, Okay, all right, so that's out of the way.
- 4:45Speaker 1: I just wanted to tell you about that before we
- 4:47Speaker 1: got onto the restaurants. The chains that chains or not,
- 4:51Speaker 1: we loved them. We miss them. A two one nine
- 4:53Speaker 1: eight eighty six Aaron's been on hold the longest. What's
- 4:56Speaker 1: up erin?
- 4:57Speaker 5: Hey, it's hot today.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Truck just dad's a little bit hot.
- 5:02Speaker 5: I mean it was warm. I was loading trucks.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Well that's see, that's why it was hot. If you
- 5:07Speaker 1: were just if you weren't doing anything, you wouldn't have
- 5:09Speaker 1: been hot. You would have been warm.
- 5:11Speaker 5: Oh that's the sec.
- 5:12Speaker 1: There's the secret. Remained motionless and you'll be fine.
- 5:15Speaker 5: Maybe maybe someday some day. Hey remember the cooker.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I love the cooker. I'll bet Bethel Roads that.
- 5:23Speaker 5: Sunday brunch in the world. I mean their Sunday brunch
- 5:28Speaker 5: was man.
- 5:29Speaker 1: And cooker was wasn't in a regional restaurant, but locally
- 5:32Speaker 1: owned like people in Dublin or something. I think started it.
- 5:34Speaker 1: If I'm not.
- 5:34Speaker 5: Mistaken, I think it was a Wasn't it a that
- 5:39Speaker 5: guy that has all the restaurants here in town.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I don't think that was a Cameron Mitchell places. If
- 5:45Speaker 1: that's what you're thinking. Yeah, I believe it was really yeah, yeah.
- 5:48Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 5:48Speaker 1: I've never known him to do it anything quite that casual,
- 5:51Speaker 1: but I do remember cooking. I did really enjoy it.
- 5:54Speaker 5: How about Cantina del Rio.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Never went there. I do remember it, but I never
- 5:59Speaker 1: went there.
- 6:00Speaker 5: An you missed it?
- 6:01Speaker 1: Yeah, well had the shrimp story of my life.
- 6:05Speaker 5: Humbo, man, I'm telling you it was good. And then
- 6:08Speaker 5: Backyard Burger did you ever eat there?
- 6:10Speaker 1: Never went there either, Bethel Road there saw mill and
- 6:14Speaker 1: I never got a chance.
- 6:16Speaker 5: Never got a chicken sandwich. Man.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Okay, Now see you're making those French sef noises after
- 6:23Speaker 1: everything and making me hungry. All thanks there, and I
- 6:28Speaker 1: appreciate the memories, buddy, A two n at eighty six,
- 6:31Speaker 1: A two n w TV. Oh it was good. Oh
- 6:35Speaker 1: now I'm hungry for black and anything. Seriously, maybe I'll
- 6:40Speaker 1: get lucky in dinner. We'll just get burned tonight A
- 6:41Speaker 1: two on WTV. And Rick, you're on the Legacy Retirement
- 6:44Speaker 1: Group dot com phone mines. How are you?
- 6:47Speaker 6: I'm good, Chuck. Damons was one that I was thinking out.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Damon is the place for ribs. Damon's the place for ribs. Yes,
- 6:56Speaker 1: love me some Damons.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Hey.
- 6:58Speaker 6: The reason I called though I heard a kind of
- 7:01Speaker 6: disturbing news story on six ten today.
- 7:04Speaker 1: What's that They were sending out.
- 7:06Speaker 6: Eight million absentee ballot requests? Every man, woman, child, and God?
- 7:12Speaker 6: Knows who else it's oy of Ohio.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Uh huh.
- 7:15Speaker 6: What could go wrong with that?
- 7:17Speaker 1: Absolutely nothing except the fact that probably I've already voted
- 7:20Speaker 1: and don't know it right.
- 7:22Speaker 6: I mean, it just struck me as completely idiotic. Anybody
- 7:27Speaker 6: who wants an absentee ballot should have to go through
- 7:31Speaker 6: the process of figuring out how.
- 7:32Speaker 1: To get one well and something else that I have
- 7:35Speaker 1: yet to get an answer. And you know, I'm on
- 7:37Speaker 1: good terms with our state, with our state officers, our
- 7:41Speaker 1: Secretary of State, I've had no problem with. But I
- 7:44Speaker 1: can't seem to get them on the air with me.
- 7:46Speaker 1: And I don't know why, because I would like to
- 7:47Speaker 1: know if I show up. Let's just say, if I
- 7:50Speaker 1: show up at the polling place and say, hey, I
- 7:52Speaker 1: did not vote, I would think that my in person
- 7:55Speaker 1: driver's license in handword would override whatever absentee ballot somebody
- 7:59Speaker 1: may have filled out and sent in on my behalf.
- 8:01Speaker 1: But I don't know that to be the case. So
- 8:03Speaker 1: I want I want to hear that from you know,
- 8:05Speaker 1: somebody official. Thanks John, I appreciate you. Thank you for
- 8:09Speaker 1: the call. A two one nine eight eighty six A
- 8:10Speaker 1: two one WTV and Damon's the place for ribs and trivia.
- 8:14Speaker 1: I used to love to set up the little trip.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Did you have Damon's where you grew up? Yep?
- 8:18Speaker 2: And I had my eighteenth birthday there, did you really yep? Yeah,
- 8:21Speaker 2: it was a big deal going to Damon.
- 8:23Speaker 7: They used to play uh, pay per views of wrestling,
- 8:26Speaker 7: because every kid my age watched wrestling.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Screens were up all over the place. And the trivia
- 8:30Speaker 1: and what was the place where they used to have
- 8:32Speaker 1: phones where you could like call the other table, Hey, baby,
- 8:34Speaker 1: how you do it? Oh? I can't remember the name
- 8:38Speaker 1: of that one, but it was like it was like
- 8:39Speaker 1: a singles restaurant in a way, because you could call.
- 8:43Speaker 1: You had a phone at your table, and you could
- 8:45Speaker 1: call another table if you saw someone that seemed particularly
- 8:49Speaker 1: interesting to you. But that's when we were much more
- 8:52Speaker 1: civilized and knew how to have fun without being spooky
- 8:54Speaker 1: stalky and stuff like that. A two one nine eight
- 8:56Speaker 1: eight six Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone lines are
- 8:58Speaker 1: open to you and you're on six to n WTV
- 9:01Speaker 1: in Oh.
- 9:02Speaker 8: Yeah, a couple things. I think that restaurant was Max
- 9:06Speaker 8: and Erman's.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Was it Max and Irmans? Where you could call from
- 9:08Speaker 1: table to table?
- 9:10Speaker 8: Yeah, because I heard a buddy of mine talking about
- 9:12Speaker 8: a couple of weeks ago. But the main reason I
- 9:16Speaker 8: called in I got a good idea on how Zach
- 9:19Speaker 8: can expand his mower business.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Into plastic surgery or just in general.
- 9:24Speaker 8: Well just in general. But what he should do is like,
- 9:27Speaker 8: since the holidays are coming up, offer a one point
- 9:33Speaker 8: drive by pointing inspection and send out vouchers from the
- 9:38Speaker 8: radio station for like twenty or forty bucks, so people
- 9:42Speaker 8: can have their mower inspected just by a drive by
- 9:45Speaker 8: one point inspection and just give all the money to charity.
- 9:50Speaker 8: Send out the vouchers first, and then get the folks address,
- 9:54Speaker 8: let them bring them more to the road or by
- 9:56Speaker 8: the road, and let that come by and to a
- 9:58Speaker 8: pointing tour CA.
- 10:00Speaker 2: I can handle that.
- 10:00Speaker 1: The trouble is if most people saw him driving through
- 10:03Speaker 1: their neighborhood looking at stuff and pointing, they'd call the police.
- 10:07Speaker 2: It's good advertise the streets would be lined.
- 10:11Speaker 1: The streets would be lined with law enforcement, is what
- 10:14Speaker 1: the streets would be lined with. Not a bad idea bill,
- 10:16Speaker 1: especially when it comes to charity. You know, I'm big
- 10:19Speaker 1: on charity, and I believe that we need to use
- 10:21Speaker 1: the airwaves to make a positive difference. I've always felt
- 10:24Speaker 1: that way since I got my first gig in nineteen
- 10:26Speaker 1: ninety and I've always tried to maintain that if I
- 10:28Speaker 1: could actually, if I could make fun of Zach and
- 10:32Speaker 1: create dollars for charity, Yeah, of course I do that.
- 10:34Speaker 1: A towo on WTV and Randy, You're on six to
- 10:37Speaker 1: ten WTV and I.
- 10:39Speaker 6: Hi, Judge.
- 10:40Speaker 1: I was thinking, chee cheese, Yes, chee cheese. Home of
- 10:44Speaker 1: the margarita is and fried ice cream.
- 10:46Speaker 4: Man, if you had a birthday, you always wanted a sombrero.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Oh yeah. And they made it fun. They came out
- 10:52Speaker 1: and did the little happy Birthday song and all that.
- 10:55Speaker 1: But again, you know, the eighties and nineties, we knew
- 10:57Speaker 1: how to do that and have fun. And the whole
- 11:00Speaker 1: restaurant would sing Happy Birthday and it was so cool.
- 11:03Speaker 1: We just we just don't do it anymore.
- 11:06Speaker 4: You know. Ninety fourth Arasquad has gone now too. Yeah,
- 11:09Speaker 4: that was kind of a destination.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Yep. Coolest thing about the ninety fourth was sitting there
- 11:13Speaker 1: and watching the planes like eight feet from the window,
- 11:17Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, that was that was an experience.
- 11:20Speaker 1: And I would think, Okay, so ninety fourth can't keep going.
- 11:24Speaker 1: I would think somebody else would want to do a restaurant,
- 11:28Speaker 1: you know, like a destination restaurant for people flying into
- 11:31Speaker 1: Columbus where they could go immediately and have a good
- 11:33Speaker 1: meal that says welcome to Columbus, Ohio. And instead, I mean,
- 11:37Speaker 1: it's ninety fourth's gone. The McDonald's is getting torn down
- 11:40Speaker 1: that they're what are they putting a garage or something
- 11:42Speaker 1: in there. It's I don't know, it's just well, our
- 11:47Speaker 1: variety is going away. We are becoming very homogenized.
- 11:53Speaker 4: Change is difficult.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Yes, I guess it is. I appreciate you, Randy, thanks
- 11:56Speaker 1: very much. I mean, think about it. You get off
- 11:58Speaker 1: a plane, you're coming in from you know, you tall
- 12:00Speaker 1: or something. You land in Columbus, Ohio. Wouldn't it be
- 12:04Speaker 1: nice to leave the airport and have a restaurant right
- 12:08Speaker 1: there that greets you and offers a you know, kind
- 12:12Speaker 1: of a Shmorgas board of various things that are our
- 12:15Speaker 1: typical Columbus fair And I don't know, maybe it's just
- 12:19Speaker 1: me one more here before we go to break. John,
- 12:22Speaker 1: You're on six to ten doale UTVN.
- 12:25Speaker 3: One of my favorite places was khik.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know if Kahiki was a regional national
- 12:32Speaker 1: chain or if that was a local thing. I've never
- 12:34Speaker 1: really figured that out. I know that they started making
- 12:35Speaker 1: their product available in grocery stores after the restaurant closed,
- 12:38Speaker 1: but I'm not sure what they're uh, what their origin was.
- 12:43Speaker 3: Yeah, they had great food. Also, back to Damon's, their
- 12:46Speaker 3: secret was their wings. Their wings were unbelievable.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Never had their wings. I was strictly a rib guy,
- 12:54Speaker 1: and they knew how to get it just that charred
- 12:58Speaker 1: part of the rib before it burns. That it just
- 13:03Speaker 1: there's a perfection area there. Yeah, and you've got to
- 13:06Speaker 1: hit it right at the right time, and they always
- 13:07Speaker 1: did for me.
- 13:09Speaker 3: Yep, it was good. Hey, gonna miss you tomorrow night. Man.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Oh, I know I'll miss you too, but I'll stay
- 13:14Speaker 1: at home and think about you, John, I promise. All right, Okay, buddy,
- 13:17Speaker 1: you have a good eating A two one nine eight
- 13:19Speaker 1: eighty six A two one WTV and David Bill Top.
- 13:22Speaker 1: See we're talking about food and the guys come out.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Where are the women, Because women, I know you eat too,
- 13:27Speaker 1: and you like the places that had you know, stuff
- 13:30Speaker 1: about not just the food in the places but the
- 13:33Speaker 1: atmosphere I want to hear from you. Two at a
- 13:34Speaker 1: two to one WTV and right now though another check
- 13:37Speaker 1: of trafficking weather together from day and Night heating and
- 13:39Speaker 1: cooling products twenty seven past six. I'm chucking down this. This
- 13:47Speaker 1: is the power hour six ten double the TV and
- 13:49Speaker 1: got a text during the break here. Hey, I've called
- 13:50Speaker 1: you a couple of times. You haven't answered. What's going
- 13:52Speaker 1: on this? Okay? People? Seriously, this is my request to you.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Hey kids, Hey kids, listen, it's a growing up thing here.
- 14:00Speaker 1: As you grow up, do your best to not be
- 14:02Speaker 1: an idiot. Just really, you've called a couple of times.
- 14:05Speaker 1: Neither time have you left a message. You just call,
- 14:08Speaker 1: I don't answer and you hang up. Then you text
- 14:09Speaker 1: me to ask why I'm not answering. This may be
- 14:12Speaker 1: a novel concept to you, but just because you're available
- 14:14Speaker 1: to call someone does not mean that someone is available
- 14:17Speaker 1: to answer your call. That's why we have voicemail. Ah, glad,
- 14:23Speaker 1: that's off my chest. A two one nine at eighty
- 14:24Speaker 1: six is my number. Talking about the restaurants, the chains,
- 14:27Speaker 1: they even though they were chained, they were kind of
- 14:29Speaker 1: enjoying and enjoyful and joyful my gosh, kind of enjoyment
- 14:34Speaker 1: places for us, joyful places for us, experience places for us.
- 14:39Speaker 1: We really don't have too many of them in central
- 14:41Speaker 1: Ohio anymore. And I'm just wondering which ones I might
- 14:43Speaker 1: have forgotten that you miss a two to one WTV
- 14:46Speaker 1: and Bill You're on six to ten WTVN.
- 14:50Speaker 6: Hey, Chuck, great show.
- 14:53Speaker 9: I used to be hanging out on the east side,
- 14:55Speaker 9: so Brown Derby off of Hamilton Road and Tche's at.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Bright We had I think what three brown Derbies in Columbus.
- 15:02Speaker 1: We had Hamilton, we had the one out on Philip
- 15:04Speaker 1: I on the west side, and I think there was
- 15:05Speaker 1: one on Morris Road, wasn't there.
- 15:08Speaker 8: Yeah, I think there were multiple ones.
- 15:10Speaker 4: There is still one near Mansfield right off of seventy one.
- 15:15Speaker 6: But I'm pretty sure that all of our chee cheese
- 15:17Speaker 6: are gone now.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Yeah, that's an unfortunate loss too, because I
- 15:22Speaker 1: don't know. Chee cheese was a thing. It was It
- 15:24Speaker 1: was more than a restaurant. Chee cheese was a thing.
- 15:28Speaker 1: It was just the place to be.
- 15:30Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 15:30Speaker 6: Absolutely, our high school Spanish club went there and it
- 15:33Speaker 6: was an event that we loved it.
- 15:35Speaker 1: I love you, Thank you, Bill for the call. I
- 15:38Speaker 1: appreciate the call and the memories. We can get one

- 15:54Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where's my dad's home territory. That's that's what
- 15:57Speaker 1: we call down home. Dad came up in Colton, Ohio.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yep.
- 16:02Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 16:02Speaker 4: I go through there every day. Well, there's a carry
- 16:05Speaker 4: out right there. Well, anyway, there was a restaurant called
- 16:12Speaker 4: ellen k.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Lka Restaurant, the Friendly Family Restaurant. I remember that too.
- 16:18Speaker 4: Yeah, and they had well they didn't have one in Jackson,
- 16:21Speaker 4: but they had a motel also LK, like in Joel Coffee.
- 16:27Speaker 4: They had lk ellen K Motel.
- 16:30Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 16:31Speaker 5: And there was this one.
- 16:33Speaker 4: Guy I went to school with. His name was Gary.
- 16:37Speaker 4: And they said, hey, where's Gary at It's like three
- 16:41Speaker 4: o'clock in the morning. I said, well, he's up. He's
- 16:44Speaker 4: up there sitting at the diner at.
- 16:46Speaker 3: The Ell and K.
- 16:47Speaker 4: You know, they was open twenty four outs yep. And
- 16:51Speaker 4: I really kind of miss that place because you could
- 16:53Speaker 4: go in there anytime. Of day and you could order
- 16:56Speaker 4: anything you wanted breakfast, lunch, dinner, and they.
- 17:02Speaker 1: Were kind of like the kind of like the Dinny's
- 17:04Speaker 1: of their era.
- 17:06Speaker 4: Well, well it could be, but did Dinnings have hotels?
- 17:12Speaker 1: No, I just mean as far as being a twenty
- 17:13Speaker 1: four hour restaurant where you could just go sit around,
- 17:15Speaker 1: have coffee, eat a donut or whatever. They were just
- 17:18Speaker 1: kind of the same feel.
- 17:20Speaker 4: Yeah, I say, I did concrete for a long time,
- 17:23Speaker 4: and sometimes we'd have to leave real early, like two
- 17:27Speaker 4: or three o'clock in the morning, and I go into
- 17:30Speaker 4: the Okay, there's Gary sitting over there, all right, it's
- 17:37Speaker 4: almost like he had a seat belt around his.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Well you sit there long enough, yeah, you need something
- 17:42Speaker 1: to hold you on the stool, so he might have
- 17:44Speaker 1: had that seat belt. I appreciate that memory. Lums is
- 17:46Speaker 1: another one from the LK restaurant days. I don't know
- 17:49Speaker 1: if Lums was around. Yeah, we had a Lums and
- 17:52Speaker 1: at least one in Columbus. I still got some calls
- 17:54Speaker 1: standing by here do not go anywhere if you are
- 17:56Speaker 1: a Ben, Debbie or Bob. Plus a couple of lines
- 17:59Speaker 1: ringing eight two one U TV and final check here
- 18:02Speaker 1: of the traffic situation six thirty seven. I'm chucked Douglas.
- 18:09Speaker 1: This is the power hour on six ' ten DOUBTV.
- 18:12Speaker 1: And is that the power station or the Yeah, that's
- 18:16Speaker 1: the power station version. Bang heer goal. Took me a
- 18:18Speaker 1: minute there because the original or was it Gary Glitter
- 18:21Speaker 1: or t t rep rat I did the first.
- 18:23Speaker 2: I had to find one that had no lyrics in it.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Why play the lyrics? I don't care about policy. Nobody
- 18:29Speaker 1: understood what they were saying anyway, Okay, and no that didn't.
- 18:34Speaker 1: It's like everything Michael McDonald ever recorded. It sounded really good.
- 18:38Speaker 1: But what was he s You don't know what, but
- 18:44Speaker 1: it sounded good. So anyway, look, we're talking restaurants here,
- 18:47Speaker 1: and I'm getting a lot of messages on the Messenger,
- 18:50Speaker 1: and I'm telling you guys right now, Messenger may not
- 18:53Speaker 1: be around when I'm on and even some of you
- 18:56Speaker 1: wake me up in the middle of the blasted night. Yes,
- 18:58Speaker 1: what I'm doing rat now Now I'm sitting on my
- 19:01Speaker 1: sofa picking matone nails and watching this whole movie. Okay,
- 19:04Speaker 1: good for you, but you don't have to make my
- 19:05Speaker 1: phone go ding at two am. But the Messenger thing,
- 19:09Speaker 1: I don't know if yours is doing this or not. Zach,
- 19:12Speaker 1: somebody sends you a message. Let's say you send me
- 19:13Speaker 1: a message, Blazer sends me message. Johnny sends me a message,
- 19:16Speaker 1: So I amatically a First I delete Johnny's message, and
- 19:20Speaker 1: then I go to your message and I read it.
- 19:24Speaker 1: Then I go to read Blazers, but it says let
- 19:28Speaker 1: me put all your phone contacts in Messenger. No, if
- 19:30Speaker 1: I wanted to do that, I would do that, but
- 19:32Speaker 1: then I have to close out Messenger completely and then
- 19:35Speaker 1: restart it in order to go to Blazer's message. And
- 19:38Speaker 1: this is happening every single time. It's their way of
- 19:40Speaker 1: trying to get all the information they possibly can. I'm
- 19:43Speaker 1: not going to do it, and I'm not going to
- 19:45Speaker 1: put up with having to restart it every time I
- 19:47Speaker 1: want to look at a message from a different person. So,
- 19:49Speaker 1: if you are someone who corresponds with me on the
- 19:51Speaker 1: messenger frequently, if I start ignoring you. That's why I
- 19:56Speaker 1: want you to know upfront, you're welcome to stay in
- 19:59Speaker 1: touch on social media. A messenger may go by the wayside.
- 20:01Speaker 7: Coming back up for a second, why do you have
- 20:03Speaker 7: your phone notifications on where you can hear them in
- 20:06Speaker 7: the middle.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Because I am a father and a grandfather and in
- 20:09Speaker 1: the middle of the night, somebody could be in trouble
- 20:11Speaker 1: and I always want to be available.
- 20:12Speaker 2: Yeah I turn on I don't.
- 20:13Speaker 7: I have never had one like sound notification on my
- 20:16Speaker 7: phone since I.
- 20:19Speaker 1: I just I'm the guy that people come to and
- 20:23Speaker 1: I've always been. That's the human being that God made
- 20:25Speaker 1: me to be. And I take that seriously. So yeah,
- 20:28Speaker 1: my phone. If my phone rings or dings or bings
- 20:31Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, I'm assuming it's because
- 20:33Speaker 1: somebody needs something and they're in trouble.
- 20:34Speaker 3: You know.
- 20:35Speaker 2: I'm putting your number out on the internet for people
- 20:37Speaker 2: to flood it tonight.
- 20:38Speaker 1: If they need to. I saw somebody today. We were
- 20:40Speaker 1: picking up some some school uniform stuff up in Gahanna
- 20:43Speaker 1: and saw the Nikki. I saw Nikki. She's one of
- 20:45Speaker 1: my Facebook people, one of the listeners, and uh and
- 20:48Speaker 1: she's I called her one night. See, this is the
- 20:51Speaker 1: kind of guy. This is the weirdness that I am.
- 20:54Speaker 1: She got on Facebook. I'm not even going to get
- 20:56Speaker 1: into her stuff, but it was kind of a it
- 20:59Speaker 1: was it was a poet that worried me. I don't
- 21:02Speaker 1: know her, she's just somebody on the Facebook. But the
- 21:06Speaker 1: post kind of worried me. I could tell, okay, this
- 21:08Speaker 1: this person is sad and something's going on. And and
- 21:11Speaker 1: her phone number was on her Facebook page, so I said,
- 21:13Speaker 1: you know what, let me call her and just called
- 21:15Speaker 1: and said a few silly things and got her to
- 21:17Speaker 1: laugh a little bit. And uh, and just happened to
- 21:19Speaker 1: see her today while I was out getting the school
- 21:22Speaker 1: uniform stuff. And she goes, just, you don't even know
- 21:24Speaker 1: who I am. I'm like, yes, you're Nikkis you doing me? Yes,
- 21:28Speaker 1: my gosh, who am I? Elvis? Of course I remember you.
- 21:30Speaker 1: So anyway, A two one nine and eight six, A
- 21:32Speaker 1: two double TV and I want to talk restaurants again.
- 21:35Speaker 1: Let's get back to your calls, Debbie. You're on the
- 21:37Speaker 1: Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone lines.
- 21:39Speaker 10: Hi, Hi, fine, fond memories of lums on Georgiasville Road.
- 21:44Speaker 10: That's where I bought my first picture of beer when
- 21:46Speaker 10: I turned eighteen.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Well, the west side is where they got the first
- 21:49Speaker 1: picture of beer at one place or another. Where was
- 21:52Speaker 1: where was the lums on Georgesville? Was it right? It
- 21:55Speaker 1: brought in Georgesville?
- 21:56Speaker 10: No, it was in between Georgia. M tween salv and
- 22:05Speaker 10: Broad closer to Broad Street, but back there behind of
- 22:11Speaker 10: oh shooting now the shopping center, but behind Westland.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Okay, Now I'm thinking, I'm trying to picture that era,
- 22:18Speaker 1: and I'm thinking Lums might have been the building that
- 22:21Speaker 1: eventually became Boothill Saloon. Then it became Shannon's Pub, and
- 22:25Speaker 1: then it became Shakers and then it burned down. Might
- 22:28Speaker 1: have been I think that's what it was. Yeah, because
- 22:31Speaker 1: the next thing up was a storage place, and then
- 22:33Speaker 1: the Putt Putt where I spent a lot of money
- 22:35Speaker 1: on video games.
- 22:36Speaker 6: Yeap.
- 22:37Speaker 10: And I'm thinking that it was red or something colored
- 22:41Speaker 10: see on it.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to say it was. There was a
- 22:44Speaker 1: blue sign. Maybe it was a white sign with blue
- 22:47Speaker 1: letters and a red heart. If I'm not mistaken. Might
- 22:51Speaker 1: have been the Lums logo. Okay, Yeah, my first picture
- 22:54Speaker 1: of bear also on the west side, it's strike zone,
- 22:56Speaker 1: a bowling alley bar. Yeah, two point fifty for the picture.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Hose were the days?
- 23:04Speaker 10: Yeah, and then we could drink at eighteen?
- 23:07Speaker 1: Yeah, well it was nineteen during my era. We still
- 23:09Speaker 1: had you know, the six percent, no three to two
- 23:12Speaker 1: at that point, the six percent at nineteen, but then
- 23:14Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty four they passed issue one and changed
- 23:16Speaker 1: the drinking h for beer all beer up to twenty
- 23:20Speaker 1: one and eliminated three two beer completely.
- 23:23Speaker 10: That's it, yea.
- 23:24Speaker 1: And before that, do you remember Chelsea? The soda pop
- 23:27Speaker 1: called Chelsea. Don't just borrow a soft drink peel of Chelsea.
- 23:34Speaker 1: It was in a green bottle that looked like the
- 23:36Speaker 1: old Mikeelo beer bottles. Come to find out, it was
- 23:39Speaker 1: made by Anheuser Busch and actually had one percent alcohol.
- 23:42Speaker 1: And I used to chug those things while I was
- 23:44Speaker 1: delivering my newspaper route.
- 23:45Speaker 8: Ah.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Yeah, mister Bellman at Bellman's Market sold him to me,
- 23:50Speaker 1: so you know, I guess he could have got in
- 23:52Speaker 1: trouble for that. I appreciate you, Debbie, thanks for the
- 23:54Speaker 1: memory and that lums on George'sville is coming back to

- 25:16Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know anything past that.
- 25:17Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some kind of difficulty in the transition or whatever.
- 25:21Speaker 1: But star Liner's got a great reputation. And uh and
- 25:24Speaker 1: our old good, close personal friend Joe Bradley, I know

- 28:22Speaker 9: want to leave, but I got a better offer. And
- 28:24Speaker 9: here's what happened.
- 28:25Speaker 4: Was.
- 28:25Speaker 9: I went to a competitor the chemical company I was
- 28:29Speaker 9: working for, and I got transferred to Grand Rapids in Michigan.
- 28:34Speaker 9: And I had two Damons, they were my accounts. I
- 28:37Speaker 9: had two Damons up there. And of course everybody where
- 28:43Speaker 9: were you when the verdict from OJ Simpson was read
- 28:48Speaker 9: and I was at at Damon's. It was in Kenton,
- 28:52Speaker 9: which is north of north of Grand Rapids. At the

- 29:29Speaker 1: would have been very odd to see that. And of
- 29:32Speaker 1: course nine to eleven the world completely stopped, and I was.
- 29:36Speaker 1: I was on the air that day. But yeah, that
- 29:39Speaker 1: you can't forget. I mean, even if it was a
- 29:40Speaker 1: great place, you got that solemn memory of that, uh,
- 29:44Speaker 1: that one event happening while you were standing in there,
