Hadicapped parking and your calls · Chuck Douglas

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Got on this handicap parking placard thing. I'm going to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: go through the costs as quickly as possible. I find
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: it offensive that they're considering a new bill here in
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the state of Ohio that would create parking passes handicapped
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: parkings that are temporary, that are exclusively for pregnant women.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you define a pregnant woman in
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five when everybody is anything they want to be.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: But it's and it costs more than a regular handicap placard,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: which is five dollars, but they want eight dollars for
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the pregnant woman placard. I just I think it's a
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: money grab, and I think it's wrong. And as I
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: continue to think about the whole system, and almost said scam.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Why are they entitled to that hip information? If you
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: identify as handicapped to your handicap, doren't you? Isn't that
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the way things work today? A two one, nine eighty
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: six war on six ten double the utvn hey truck.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I agree with you on this, So there's a money grab.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: But your lafteb made so much sense to me because
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I see it every day people that pull up in
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: a handicap and let someone out they walk. And then
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: not only that, my biggest stuff that gets under my
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: rump is when people walk into a store they take
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: one of those carts, you know, the motorized carts. Yeah,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: that people that really have a hard time getting around
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: with Ye they're not just getting out of the handicapped cars.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: They're walking through the parking lot and feeling lazy that
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: day and hopping on them. And there's not very many
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: of those in stores these days, you know, And they're
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: taking up these carts and then just leaving them at
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: the front door as they exit and then walk into
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: their car. That's another time. I mean, that's darn it.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you don't need those, you don't need those
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: in the store. You should not be using those because
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: they are few and far between.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it just rips my ass that folks take advantage
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: of something they don't need to. I truly believe that
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: if you have a handicap sticker, you're handicapped. And if
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you have one, and like you said earlier, if you're
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: not feeling bad that day and you can walk, then
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: walk and save it for somebody that's feeling worse. That
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: day that can't walk.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: We are on the same page, Debbie. I appreciate you,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: thanks very much. A two NATV is my number, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: George you are on six to NBLEUTVN Hey.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Chuck, I just want to say, hey, man, I love
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: the show. I get off work at six o'clock in
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: johnsund On half a half hour drive back to Columbus,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: and you are my drive home. And I appreciate you, man.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you being there. Thank you.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: So, the thing that gets me is the people who
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: use somebody else's handicap placard. I think, you know, and
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: it's just really a case, like so many other times
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: right now, that they'll laws not being enforced the way
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: that it should be. That placard is not tied to
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: the car, It's tied to the person. And I think
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: if the police maybe found a couple of people hop
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: skipping and jumping from their car in the handicap, you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: and check their ID to see if they were attached
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: to that handicap placard started handing out those five hundred
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: dollars fines, I bet that stoff would probably stop pretty quick.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I wonder what the I'll have to check with some
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: of our law enforcement friends and see what the what
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the charge would be for using somebody else's placard, how
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: because it should at least be as much as parking
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: illegally in a handicap zone. If it's five hundred dollars
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: for parking in the thing and you're using somebody else,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: it should be five hundred dollars for falsely using somebody
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: else's placard. Absolutely, again, George, we are on the same page, buddy,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and thanks and be safe on that drive home. I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: appreciate you. Eight to one nine eight eighty six. Not
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: something I thought would turn into a big topic, but
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you guys have something to say about these handicapped placards,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and I am here to listen. Let's get is it
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: d d R six WTV at high I checked.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: So a couple of things consider. First of all, the
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: doctors need to make sure that these handicapped placards are
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: going to handicap people, and mental and emotional discrepancies should
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: not apply. If you have mental and emotional discrepancies, we
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: shouldn't be given you dry licenses. Second, a lot of
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: the door Dash and other deliveries take them because they're
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: only going to be ten minutes. That's a problem, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: there are not enough handicapped spaces.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: To begin with, to begin with, And.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Please, can we consider that there are people who do
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: not show their handicaps. There are people who are horrified
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: that they have to have a handicapped placard. There are
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: people that may not have amputee legs, but they have cancer,
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: or they have another disease, or they are allergic to
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: the sun because of the cancer medicine they're on.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: We may not.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: Look handicapped to you, but I can guarantee it is
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: a gut ratting thing to have to have a handicapped
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: placard and to actually have to use it. So please
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: maybe not judge all of us older people who may
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: not be limping in but actually have real concerns and
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: our doctors have requested that we have a handicapped placard.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: And if you have those concerns d and you pull
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in and you've got that excuse of a legitimate excuse,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: doctor says you should have this, you could use this.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: But you pull in and you're feeling good and you're
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: not worried about anything that day, are you still going
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to use that handicapped space or are you going to
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: move down a couple so somebody else can.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: I will move down a couple because I'm to use it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: You're my kind of person, and that's all I'm asking.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: If they're going to be used, let's use them reasonably.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: That that's these people that take advantage of them. It's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: just that frosts me to begin with, the fact that
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: they want to charge more for a pregnant woman than
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: they do for a regular handicap placard is really bothering me.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And as I got to thinking about it, the fact
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that you know, everybody can call themselves whatever they want
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to call themselves anymore, and we're supposed to accept it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: But I need a note from my doctor to tell
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you I'm handicapped. I'm applying, I'm sending you five dollars.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Just give me my placard. If I'm not, then you'll
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: have to prove otherwise.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: I do not think that doctors should be so easily
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: giving these out.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: There should be.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Valid reasons, valid physical reasons on why you need to
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: part closer to a store.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I'm with you on that too. If you if you're
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: if you have a mental issue, then you it's hard
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to believe you get a driver's license anyway. D I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: appreciate you, thank you very much for the call. Eight
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: two one nine eight eighty six A two me WTVN.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: That's h and Europe.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what I agree with, Dee. So far,
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: I have not disagreed with anyone. My feeling on the
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: pregnant women is the fact that research shows if they walk,
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: they they have a healthcare pregnancy. Now, there are instances
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: where they probably should have a temporary but that doesn't
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: mean they should be charge more. And then the other
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: thing is I'm have a handicap sticker.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: For my husband.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I do not use it because my cotton picking MIC's work.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: And there are sometimes when he doesn't use it because
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: he's like, you know, I can get in there today,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: good man, yep, he is. So I just have to
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: give my half cents for.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: It, and they are.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: That.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: I do love listening to you on my way to work.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Oh well, have a good evening at work then, and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you being out there. Eight to one, nine
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: eighty six. Uh, it's uh. I guess you know. This
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: is one of those things where there's no way that
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: you can definitively win, no matter what your position is
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: because I can see the plus and the negative on
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: all sides. I really can. And the only way I
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: can and express my thoughts is just by telling you
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: straight out. That's how I handle everything. I got no
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: problem with handicapped parking spaces for people who need them,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: or the scooters in the store for people who need them.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: But you know, when the kids are playing in Walmart
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: with the scooter, that bugs me. Some youngster who then
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and he gets up and runs down the ass so
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: he can grab the Cheetos or Friedo's or Doritos or whatever.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: And it goes back and said, but he's just riding
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: because it's fun. Yeah, that's a problem. But people are
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: too easily like that anymore. Like I said, honor, it's
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a forgotten word. Gabe. You are on six n WTVN Hey, how.
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: Doy I really appreciate all your stories about the Hilltop
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: and the West Side.

  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm a cowboy nineteen sixty six.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Wow, you go way back there. I had a sister
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: in sixty seven as my oldest sister.
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: All right, you know I've not have misheard you, but
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: the school was built in nineteen twenty nine, right, and
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: it used to be down at the Startling building on
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: Central Avenue.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I had the fortune to be one of the first,
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: well the first seventh grade class to attend West High School.
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: The cities was so crowded when we graduated from the
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: sixth grade over at Highland Avenue that they sent the
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: seventh graders to West High School to attend with the
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: high school student.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, see we have that in common too. I
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: went to Highland Elementary. I was in the first kindergarten
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: class to use that new annex that they had built.
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that was long after my time. Yeah, I really
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: appreciate all your stories about the Hilltop.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Well, Gabe, I appreciate you listening to them. Thank you
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: very much for being out there. Buddy. Let me get
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Dawn in here. I've got a couple more I want
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to try to get through before we say good bye. Dawn.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: You're on six end double UTV.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: And Hi, Chuck, Hello, love your choke, Thank you. Hey.
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: My dad he's in state COPD and he has a
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: handicapped sticker and I always just drop him off by
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: the door.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: And then I go park. I just think it's rude.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: You know, well that's not good. Not only the rudeness,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: but you're being a considerate human being by dropping dad
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: off at the door so he's got fewer steps. Whether
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: it's from a handicapped space or not, that's a wonderful thing.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: And that's a good, good way to treat your father.
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: I mean, I might put on my flashers like say,
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: we're at Texas Roadhouse and walking them real quick, but
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: I go and park. It's ridiculous.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Good you know, I like you, don I'd buy you
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: a steak if I saw you at Texas Roadhouse.
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: Oh my goodness, I'll see you there.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: All right, there, you have a good evening. They very
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: much for the call. Bill. You're gonna wrap us up
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: on six ten WTVN.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: Thanks Chuck. Uh hell is vill get too bab week?
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: No NFL teams, the histories ever.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Got to it's annoying.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: I'd like you to get that question answered before the
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: week'sh over. Okay, okay, all right, buddy, have a good week.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Is that okay? I thought Bill was caught about something
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: for the parking, but I will see if I can't
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: get an answer or why we have two bye weeks.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's got something to do with the addition
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of all these new teams to the Big Ten. And
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I still, honestly I don't even know who's in. We
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: had USC and U c l A. Are they They're
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: both Big Ten now, aren't they sure? I'm pretty sure
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: they are. I haven't any idea. And then winless U
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: c l A marketers in and beats Penn State over
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the weekend. Mis how Michigan do I forget how Michigan
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: ended up. Michigan beat Wisconsin. It was Wisconsin, and I
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: feel bad for Luke Fickle, but Wisconsin is not being very,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: very monumental in their play this season, and and the
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: bad mouth is starting to kind of spread about his coaching.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: So I'm glad Michigan won. Not because they beat Luke
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Fickle's team, but because I want them to come in
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: here with the best or we go up there this
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: year the best possible record. When the games, I don't
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: want to. I don't want to beat them down. I
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: want them to at least stand a chance of saving
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: their reputation. And if they go in they're big losers
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: all season. It's no fun beating them. I want them
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: to have something to fight for. So but I will
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: find out. I'll verify why we've got to. Matt McCoy
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: can answer it, I'm sure
