  Speaker 1: Greeting salitations. Welcome to the Thursday edition of The Power
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Hour on six ten WUTV IN on Chuck Douglas. You
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: know who you are. We take it from there my
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: number eight two one nine eight eighty six A two
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: one wtv IN or eight hundred and six to ten WTVN.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: We get one hour together, which means I talk really
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: fast and you must listen even faster, assuming you're not
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: listening on a wireless connection at my house. Right now, man,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I'm so sick. I just recently switched internet providers because
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: it just constant outage, constant oh every week, especially on
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the weekend. It seemed like I was, so I made
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the switch back to the one that I dumped before.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Right so, then right before I go on the air,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I get the thing from the security system saying hey,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: we're offline right now, which I hate because that's the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: whole purpose of having a security system, and when it's
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: not just so, so anyway, I go into their the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: company website here and they've got to check for outage.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Thing.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: You put in the zip code you live it, and
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: it shows me their outage in that area due to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: some work. But it's not it doesn't include me. It's
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: it's like a quarter mile away from me, and and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: it's it's not me.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: So you don't have a reason why you're out out.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: And it says I'm not out, and I'm telling it
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I'm out. And then the music started in the show
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: had to go, so, Hi, how you doing.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I'm doing okay. I will say, I don't know what
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: what company you go with. I will say I use
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: AT and T for my internet. Uh, it works fine,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: never had any problems. Just throw it out out there
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: in case you.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Never ever ever I had AT and T years ago
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: when they offered att u Verse. However, now they they
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: offer they offer not in my area, though the fiber optic.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: If I could get the fiber optic AT and T,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I might try them again. Plus, when I was investigating
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to switch from you know, the company that I replaced,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the company that I replaced with the company I replaced
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: with what they wanted ninety nine dollars to connect me.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I no, everybody else will come out and connect for
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: free just to get the business. You want a one
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: hundred pard dollar bill just to come out and connect,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: And that was to connect the pole to the house.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I would still have to, you know, do my own
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: crap inside the house, which I just find amazingly annoying
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to come to my house with you and your plumbers
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: butt and your tool belt and put the stuff in. Man,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: it's costed me enough. Do it.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear you on that.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Do it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I don't want to self install, kid, I want you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to do it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe now it's different all I'm saying it in
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: the future. If you look around from my from my
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: experience with it, it's it's done great, So.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Well, I may try it the next time I get
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: mad enough to make a switch. I've had a lot
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of people suggest the uh the T mobile five G.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: The thing of it is, I'm worried about that because
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I've got so many devices. You know, all the kids have,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: well four out of five, they've got tablets, fans tablets
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: for the two older boys, and then the kids tablets
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: for two of the youngers. And then the security system
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: has has a bunch of wireless connections to it. You have.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I've got a laptop and an iPad and my phone
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and the Queen's phone, and uh, there's lots of stuff
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: that's running on the which is why I pay to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: have a high grade wireless service at my house. It's
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: an important part of my life. It's not frivolous, it
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: is needed, but when it goes out, it's you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I feel like a schlet for paying the bill. And uh,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I just seriously, I want to call them right now.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I want to. I wish I could just call them
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: on the air.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if they'll believe that you're on
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the Oh.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: My gosh, it's just hey, Ohio is a one party state.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Only one person being recorded needs to know they're being recorded,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: so I could I could legally get away with it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So anyway, Yeah, I'm just I'm very frustrated because that
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: was before, right before I went on the air, like
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: literally ninety seconds before the show starts, and I give
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the notice your internet is oh no. And on top
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: of that, I know the kids are all watching kiddie shows.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: What you're all streaming on the screens. They're not, so
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: they're probably just a mountain onion. And Nana's is freaking
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: out right now. The Queen is because because the kids
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: are all upset because they can't watch whatever stupidity they watched,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: it passes this children's programming these.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Days, sure, afternoon, going Chuck.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you, it's been a long day.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: It seemed like it was going great until about five
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: minutes ago.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Well see, and that's the thing, man, I make it
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: seem like it's going great. It rarely is, but I
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: make it seem like it because that's part of that's
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: part of my job and being a man, that's part
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of what you're supposed to do. In fact, I freak
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the Queen out a little bit today because she knows
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: how I was, how I was feeling. And uh, I
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: thought so hard, so long to get my blood sugars down.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: They were high. They said, you're a type two diabetic
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: at all this stuff. Well now they are frighteningly low
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of times. And right now, I mean, seriously,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: can you I don't know if you can see that?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Can you see that? From him there?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I can see it.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: The red banner across the top is because it's going, hey,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: this is too low.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you've explained it to because I didn't know anything
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: about it until you explained it to me. Yeah, the numbers,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I know, I'm sure they're different for everybody.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: But and I was telling Blazer yesterday, I'm thinking, you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I need to see the doctor. Maybe they need to
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: cut back on the medication or whatever, because maybe the pancreas.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: At this point, I've lowered the A one C substantially,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I've lowered the weight substantially. I changed the way I
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: consume and what I consume. Maybe the pancreas is actually
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: doing its job now and the medicine is doing too much.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And at first I thought, maybe I've just got a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: bad sensor because I wear one of those continuous glucose monitors. Well,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: this is the third sensor in a row now where
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the numbers have been way down. In the middle of
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the night, I'm getting an alarm waking me up and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: stuff telling me so low. So that's see, that's another
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: reason I need working internet for that kind of So anyway,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: where was I going with that? I don't even know
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: what I was telling you about it. Oh, so it
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: was low, and and you know I was I was
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: dragging because the lower the blood sugar gets, the energy's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: not there. And and and the Queen says, as we
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: parted ways this afternoon, she goes, I hope you feel better.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I said, I don't have to feel better. I just
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: have to stay strong. And the look on her face
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: was one of just like, I don't even understand that.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't either, because I believe that that's toxic maxillinity.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And then it is I am toxically masculine.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: The problem at hand when I am really and I
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: poisoned myself with that toxicity the rest of my life.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: You know what, I'm I am proud to be a man,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: not just me. Oh, I am proud to be a man.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You you go as long as you you have to go.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Is work as hard as you have to work to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: do what has to be done for the people that
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: are counting on you, and it does. How you feel,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: honestly does not matter. Will you deserve happiness If you're
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: happy now, and then that's bonus points. That's like getting
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: extra icing on the cupcake. But if you have a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: cupcake iced or not fresh or not, if you have
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: a cupcake, consider it a win and keep going. Man.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: As my favorite basketball coach what said, your life is
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: going to be nothing but adversity. It's how you handle it,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: dig in, get tough, and then you'll be okay.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Regardless exactly exactly, and this is place here and I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: were talking earlier about you know, a man's got to
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: know his limitations, and then when you don't, it can
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: hurt you. And I am that guy. I am that guy.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And I say it out of experience, because sometimes you
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: push so hard and and it comes back to bite you.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: And it's done that a few times. But here I stand,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I wobble a little bit, but
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: here I stand after all this time. So I'm going
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to stay with my game plan and hopefully pass on
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: my uh, my ridiculous toxic masculinity to my grandson's and
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: uh and maybe at least, you know, one or two,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I'm goingll take that along with them and continue the tradition.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Well, I I will back you up publicly. You do
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: keep going. You've had some bad days. The only thing
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: that I've seen stop you is the elevator.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: The elevator did stop me once because it stopped, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that was that was nothing I could do. It started,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, the door closed and it went and started
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to go, and then and then it made a sound
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: like one of those castle doors on Scooby Doo, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: it just stopped. And I didn't know what to do.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: So I'm texted Zach. I said, hey, I'm going to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: be late for the show because I'm stuck on an
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: elevator and uh. And eventually Zach actually came came out.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: He was the hero. He came out and started just
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: pushing buttons back and forth and up and down and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: hitting a bunch of buttons until finally I think the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: elevator surrendered, goes okay, and started up again. Yeah. I
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: just got sick of me.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I can't deal with this anymore.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: If it weren't for you, I probably would still be
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: on there all these months later.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I think the guy came out to save you when
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: he said he was going to be there in like
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: fifteen minutes, he came out like three.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, that would have been helpful. Yeah, because if I
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: had to stand on that elevator that there's a puddle
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: over there. Sorry about your luck, r TWOTV and let's
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: grab a quick one here before we go to break. Brian,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you're on six ten dou WTVN.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Hey man, it's nice to talk to you. Hey. I
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: have the same problem with my sensor and I had
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: to adjust my insulin because I'd take a long and
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: a short and my exercise went up and my A
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: one c went up, so it was kind of interesting
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: to see that. My one doctor said, maybe it's a
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: good thing you're sugar starting to bottom out, because it
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: means your body is working a little bit better.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I think the pancreas is
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: actually kicking.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: In and yeah, like it's supposed to.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: And the medicine on top of the actual natural insulin
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: is taking it down too low, because I mean middle
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of the night. I'm not joking, I'll get the alarm.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I'm down to like fifty seven fifty eight, which is yeah,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: that ain't good. And today the queen made me some
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: lovely breakfast sandwiches. She just used hamburger buns, but she
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: toasted the hamburger buns sausage, egg cheese, saltate onions. They
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: were alsome. I had two of them and I went
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: up like three points. So if this is.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I had a cream Field donut and my sugar went
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: up seventy points. I work at OSU and the cafeteria
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: had buck Eye donuts left plus snag one. Much of
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: my wife's dismay, and maybe my sugar was down. I
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: needed it.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: You went up seventy points, But how long did it
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: stay up before it came back down.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: It's a couple hours a couple hours walk during the
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: course of my job, so it's kind of a roller
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: coaster sometimes. My doctor told me five life savers, eat it,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: eat that, and then check your sugar in about fifteen minutes,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: and that can make your sugar go up as well.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: And then my wife, my queen, who's Italian, German and Hispanic,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: bought me some glucose tablets to carry with me.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Italian, German and Hispanic. I would love to have a
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: meal with that woman.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: You ain't lyings.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, Brian, congratulations on your positive results. I
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: hope mine stay positive. It is good to talk to you, buddy,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: and stay warm.
