Speaker 1: Scott Sloan show back Friday morning seven hundred Wow, not
Speaker 1: just any Friday morning. We lead off and will not
Speaker 1: bury the lead this morning the big store, of course,
Speaker 1: super Bowl sixty coming up Levi Stadium in San Francisco
Speaker 1: six thirty. By the way, on Sunday, the pregame started
Speaker 1: I think three weeks ago, if not mistaken, Seattle and
Speaker 1: the Patriots in a rematch from well over a decade ago.
Speaker 1: Patriots won that one on a I believe it was
Speaker 1: the Malcolm Butler interception game is what that was. And
Speaker 1: this time around Seattle favored by four and a half points,
Speaker 1: and the total by day total points lois total since
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen set at forty five and a half on
Speaker 1: this and more is the living legend himself, the voice
Speaker 1: of your Bengals. That would be our good friend Dan Horde,
Speaker 1: Dan welcome, how are you? Everything is well here in Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: Ohio where I am. I don't know what sunny climbs
Speaker 1: you're in right now. Probably still you're on a beat
Speaker 1: somewhere with a my tie.
Speaker 2: You just cut out there. I didn't hear it.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm sorry about that. I said, you're probably on
Speaker 1: a beach somewhere with a my tie.
Speaker 2: Right, I wish. Unfortunately that is not the case. You know,
Speaker 2: we both have Upstate New York in our background, having
Speaker 2: lived in the Buffalo area. When I moved to Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: I thought I was moving through a tropical paradise, and
Speaker 2: more often than not, the weather here is quite mild.
Speaker 2: But this winter winter is kicking my tail. Unlike you,
Speaker 2: I do not enjoy shoveling.
Speaker 1: I don't mind it. I got the snowblower that broke,
Speaker 1: and I'm working with broken. So I'm thinking about getting
Speaker 1: a plow for my truck because I got a couple
Speaker 1: of properties. I got to take care of them. Like,
Speaker 1: maybe I get a ply She think I should want a.
Speaker 2: Plow, Dan, I think you should get a plow, and
Speaker 2: I will give you my address. I've got a big
Speaker 2: day and I appreciate if you would make regular visits.
Speaker 1: I mean, my wife told me, she said, you know,
Speaker 1: I tell her about it. I'm like, I'm doing the math.
Speaker 1: I'm like yeah, I'm like, for you know, a couple
Speaker 1: two three years pay for itself. And she's like, I
Speaker 1: know you You're gonna go plow everybody's driveway. Your plow
Speaker 1: ours and you'll go do all your friends, will do
Speaker 1: all the neighbors, and you're not. It's not going to
Speaker 1: pay for itself. You're going to wear it out because
Speaker 1: you like doing this stuff, because you're stupid. I said,
Speaker 1: you know what, that is the best analysis I think
Speaker 1: you've ever offered me in the last year. That she's
Speaker 1: spot on too.
Speaker 2: I do everybody so her she's very wise. However, what
Speaker 2: she didn't say is that all of those friends whose
Speaker 2: driveways you are about to shovel when you get this
Speaker 2: plow are going to love you even more than they
Speaker 2: already do. And what's more important than.
Speaker 1: That that's true? Well, I mean I get certainly I
Speaker 1: abuse them, and so the karma comes back and I'll
Speaker 1: have all all evens out even I'll never have to
Speaker 1: buy a drink again for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: It'll be fantastic. Let's get in the super Bowl. The
Speaker 1: biggest star of the Super Bowl, Dan of course is
Speaker 1: and I'm sure people are hanging on this your take
Speaker 1: on the Bad Bunny halftime show.
Speaker 2: I have no problem with Bad Bunny performing, and I
Speaker 2: don't understand why this is a controversy. Right, he is
Speaker 2: a huge international star. I don't care that he apparently
Speaker 2: sings some of his songs in Spanish. I mean, I'd
Speaker 2: never really listened to Bad Bunny. But why is this
Speaker 2: such a big deal. I mean, the NFL has been
Speaker 2: trying to pick popular acts for at least the last
Speaker 2: ten years or so. Prior to that, I think they
Speaker 2: went for the old time legends. But they're trying to
Speaker 2: appeal to a younger audience by picking acts that you know,
Speaker 2: younger folks listen to. Now clearly they're listening to Bad Bunny.
Speaker 2: Why is that a controversy? It actually kind of annoys me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you on it. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: I know one of his songs. I can't say I'm
Speaker 1: a huge Bad Bunny fan that I'll go and download
Speaker 1: his music because of this. I won't. But it's fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes and it's time for me to go to the
Speaker 1: bathroom anyway, because I'm watching the games and commercials. You
Speaker 1: can't take a break. The only time I could take
Speaker 1: a break is halftime. I got to go my blatters
Speaker 1: full and I'm old. If you look at the TV ratings,
Speaker 1: which are still a thing, NFL is still in the
Speaker 1: top one hundred, like most of the top one hundred
Speaker 1: shows are NFL football games. Yeah, yeah, the top ninety,
Speaker 1: the top one hundred, right, And you can't get any
Speaker 1: more saturated. You cannot get any more market share in
Speaker 1: the United States than you already are with the NFL.
Speaker 1: So the only way to expand and make more money
Speaker 1: is to go intional to Latin America. And so you
Speaker 1: put bad Baby on, who's a Grammy winner, who also
Speaker 1: is the most streamed artist. It's a slam dug. It's
Speaker 1: not about you know, old white people in America watching
Speaker 1: football anymore. It's about women, it's about young people. It's
Speaker 1: about emerging markets. That's why they're doing this.
Speaker 2: You know, Bad Bunny is hosted Saturday Night Live. That's
Speaker 2: my only exposure to Bad Bunny, and he was funny.
Speaker 2: He was good on Saturday Night Live. So, like you,
Speaker 2: I don't know how closely I'll be watching the halftime show.
Speaker 2: That's a great opportunity to head to the kitchen and
Speaker 2: store up on another round of unhealthy food, which is
Speaker 2: what I do best during the Super Bowl. But I'm
Speaker 2: sure I'll catch some of it, and who knows, maybe
Speaker 2: some of the people that are so offended by the
Speaker 2: fact that he's going to perform at halftime, will come
Speaker 2: around and say, you know what, that guy's.
Speaker 1: Not that bad, or they'll turn around and watch Kid
Speaker 1: Rock and Lee Greenwood or whatever that is, and it's
Speaker 1: an opportunity, you know, or the Puppy Bowl or whatever
Speaker 1: the hell it is. I don't know. I'm here to
Speaker 1: watch football and commercials in that order, by the way,
Speaker 1: and probably one of the very few times, Dan, you
Speaker 1: get to actually just a I don't watch a football
Speaker 1: game without putting your Bengals hat on. So let's get
Speaker 1: at it. Seattle and New England. I think the big
Speaker 1: question here is Drake May. Which Drake May shows up?
Speaker 1: He has not been good in the playoffs. That's a
Speaker 1: huge problem going to this for the Patriots.
Speaker 2: I think that's the big question for both teams, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, will Sam Donald turn into a pumpkin? Sam
Speaker 2: Donald actually accounted for more turnovers than any other quarterback
Speaker 2: in the NFL this year during the regular season twenty
Speaker 2: when you add up his interceptions and his bumbles, and
Speaker 2: then Drake May, as you pointed out, has had some
Speaker 2: shaky moments in the postseason. He's fumbled six times in
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So which of those two guys makes a
Speaker 2: couple of big mistakes that hurts their team. I think
Speaker 2: that that ultimately could be the key to the game.
Speaker 1: Well, we saw Donald in the NFC Championship performance against
Speaker 1: the Rams, and they're very aggressive in the co And
Speaker 1: you know, I guess the question is does he reverted
Speaker 1: to his second half struggles against New England. Was that
Speaker 1: a one off in the NFC Championship game or was
Speaker 1: he able to maybe turn that worm turned a little
Speaker 1: bit for him? We'll find out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was awesome in that game. That might have
Speaker 2: been his best game all year. I'll say this for
Speaker 2: Sam Donald, I've been a skeptic really for two years now.
Speaker 2: He led the Vikings to fourteen wins last year, he
Speaker 2: led Seattle to fourteen wins this year. Now, he had
Speaker 2: the benefit of really good defenses on both of those teams.
Speaker 2: But still I think he's the only quarterback other than
Speaker 2: Tom Brady to ever do that. That's pretty impressive. So
Speaker 2: I guess at some point we have to say, you
Speaker 2: know what, maybe that Donald guy is pretty good after all.
Speaker 1: All right, So who's less questionable for you then, Drake
Speaker 1: may or Sam Donald.
Speaker 2: I probably still have more doubt about Sam Donald. But
Speaker 2: I still think Seattle will win, just because Seattle is
Speaker 2: the better overall team and much more battle tested. The
Speaker 2: NFC was vastly superior to the AFC as a conference
Speaker 2: this year, and Seattle was in a division where two
Speaker 2: other teams won twelve games. I mean, they made it
Speaker 2: through the NFC West with the Rams and the forty
Speaker 2: nine ers, and at the end of the day, with
Speaker 2: the number one seed in the NFC, they went fourteen
Speaker 2: and three, and their schedule was much tougher than New England.
Speaker 2: New England's had one of those years where everything seemed
Speaker 2: to fall right into their credit. You still got to
Speaker 2: go out and win those games, and they beat good
Speaker 2: teams in the playoffs. But Seattle, week after week, it's
Speaker 2: facing really good teams and beating them. I find it
Speaker 2: hard to imagine that Seattle's going to lose. The one
Speaker 2: thing that kind of creeps into the back of my
Speaker 2: mind is the fact that the underdog is one four
Speaker 2: out of the last five Super Bowls. So strange things
Speaker 2: happen on Super Bowls Sunday. But I still think Seattle's
Speaker 2: going to win.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And if you look at like even the last three, well,
Speaker 1: how you can go back to like the last five
Speaker 1: years their record is, you know, they're twelve and four
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty nine, couple nine and eighties and ten
Speaker 1: and seven. This season they come out and it feels
Speaker 1: like New England. Dan, It was like the Bengals when
Speaker 1: we went to the Super Bowl, right, you know, they're
Speaker 1: terrible and all of a sudden, nowhere they just go
Speaker 1: on a heater, they go on a run. And we
Speaker 1: saw the Bengals, as you know, in that Super Bowl
Speaker 1: against the Rams, a blank of an eye. It could
Speaker 1: have been a Bengals world championship had had things fall
Speaker 1: into place, because it was literally an eyelash away from
Speaker 1: winning that football game and they didn't. Lost by three.
Speaker 1: But it reminds me the New England team come out
Speaker 1: of nowhere, reminds me of the Bengals.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did basically the exact same thing. The year
Speaker 2: before the Bengals went to the Super Bowl in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one, they won four games. That was what the
Speaker 2: Patriots did. They've done from four wins to a division
Speaker 2: title and an appearance in the Super Bowl. Maybe unlike
Speaker 2: the Bengals, they're able to win one more game and
Speaker 2: add another freaking Super Bowl to the wall in New England.
Speaker 2: That doesn't annoy me at all, but we'll see, you know,
Speaker 2: Seattle to me is the better team on both sides
Speaker 2: of the ball, so I'll think they'll win. And part
Speaker 2: of that I think influencing my decision is when the
Speaker 2: Bengals played the Patriots this year, New England won, but
Speaker 2: they didn't play very well march down in that game,
Speaker 2: Drake May threw a pick six, they settled for a
Speaker 2: bunch of field goals inside the red zone. They won
Speaker 2: because the Bengals couldn't cover tight ends really for the
Speaker 2: entire year. And Hunter Henry Hunter Henry had one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifteen receiving yards in that game. But New England
Speaker 2: didn't allow me seeing them, you know, in person, So
Speaker 2: that probably has a big impact on my thought that
Speaker 2: they're going to lose the game as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that and that spread feels about right to me.
Speaker 1: Dan Horde, voice of the Bengals. Chopping up the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl on Sunday six thirty, We'll have it for you here,
Speaker 1: Super Bowl sixty on seven hundred WLW if you can't
Speaker 1: watch it on TV. And the other thing I'm going
Speaker 1: to look up front two is what is Will Campbell
Speaker 1: the rookie, how he holds up against that interior pressure
Speaker 1: Seattle has because the throw stunts at the highest rate
Speaker 1: in the league, and that's gonna be kind of overwhelming.
Speaker 1: That's a whole different ballgame for him. It's interesting because
Speaker 1: adding now, Drake may can certainly scramble for sure, but
Speaker 1: you can't only do that so much before it comes
Speaker 1: back to bite you. We'll see how that that part
Speaker 1: of the line holds up for them.
Speaker 2: He's the left tackle. He was helped off the field
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati, got injured in that game. It looked at
Speaker 2: the time like it might be season ending. Fortunately for
Speaker 2: the Patriots, Campbell was able to come back and return.
Speaker 2: But since he's been back, he hasn't been very good.
Speaker 2: So we'll see. I agree with you, I think that's
Speaker 2: going to be a key matchup in the game.
Speaker 1: All right on this side of it? Should should New
Speaker 1: England copy what like the Rams tried to do attack
Speaker 1: in Seattle with a lot of those in routes and
Speaker 1: going after the zone really really hard in Typically an
Speaker 1: NFL team will look at that, watch the film and go, uh,
Speaker 1: we got to try and figure out if our personnel
Speaker 1: can execute like the Rams because they're pretty close.
Speaker 2: Listen to you, listen to you going all collins Worth nowt.
Speaker 1: I mean you you can if you watch it right,
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, you just basically it's like anything, if
Speaker 1: it works, you try to replicate it and build office.
Speaker 1: That's what they're going to do.
Speaker 2: That is correct. Yeah, the Patriots are certainly going to
Speaker 2: look at things that work for the Rams and try
Speaker 2: to incorporate some of them. Now, the Rams have Puka
Speaker 2: Nakoa Natua and DeVante Adams and the Patriots don't have
Speaker 2: weapons like that. I think the Patriots are going to
Speaker 2: rely on the running game more than the Rams did
Speaker 2: in the NFC Championship game. But sure, anytime you see
Speaker 2: a team have success, you try to find some of
Speaker 2: those things that apply to your team, you know, when
Speaker 2: you compare the personnel and see if you can use
Speaker 2: some of those things to your advantage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and yeah, we can talking much about well Sam Darnold,
Speaker 1: but Seattle's offense they can beat you a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of different ways.
Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker is awesome, the beast. They call him K nine.
Speaker 2: He's a great running back. Now, they were able to
Speaker 2: share the load during the course of the season with
Speaker 2: Zach Charboney. He's hurt, he won't play in the Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: so puts more of the load on Walker. But that
Speaker 2: might be a good thing. I think he's tremendous. He
Speaker 2: might be top two or three in the NFL and
Speaker 2: yards after catch, once you get the ball in his hands,
Speaker 2: he's electric. And that's going to be a real key
Speaker 2: for New England in this game because he's the type
Speaker 2: of guy that could easily put up you know, one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty combined rushing and receiving yards.
Speaker 1: Right, what about the special teams factor? Do you think
Speaker 1: that could make a difference in this game? Because you know,
Speaker 1: you think, all right, Sam Darnold, Drake May, you know,
Speaker 1: two guys at not the best quarterbacks in the league,
Speaker 1: certainly not. You know, there was MVP talk for Drake May.
Speaker 1: That's over at this point. Did this come down a
Speaker 1: special teams play or Seattle? Just do you see this
Speaker 1: like as a blowout?
Speaker 2: I don't see it as a blowout. Special teams could
Speaker 2: be a factor. The Patriots have a rookie kicker that
Speaker 2: could be you know, significant in a Super Bowl. Maybe
Speaker 2: the collar gets a little bit tight. We'll see. You know,
Speaker 2: I don't have that circle as like this game is
Speaker 2: going to come down to a field goal, but I
Speaker 2: do think it's going to be relatively close, and who knows,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe a rookie kicker in that moment does
Speaker 2: not deliver. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I keep thinking back to that the Bengals Super Bowls, like, well,
Speaker 1: that was very close to went by field goal for
Speaker 1: crying out loud, and could have been the Bengals ball game.
Speaker 1: If and when we're able to complete a pass there
Speaker 1: with you just need to you just replay it over
Speaker 1: in your head, right, you need a quarter more of
Speaker 1: a second and it's a touchdown. But yeah, of course
Speaker 1: it feels like the same game.
Speaker 2: It's a really good point because what did that game
Speaker 2: ultimately come down to. Yep, the Bengals inability to protect
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow when they had to in the second half.
Speaker 2: I mean, Aaron Donald wrecked that game. And the Patriots
Speaker 2: offensive line against this great Seattle defense, that's the biggest
Speaker 2: matchup in this game. Seattle is number one in the
Speaker 2: NFL in scoring defense, number one in rushing defense. They're
Speaker 2: really good at getting after the quarterback. Drake May got
Speaker 2: shacked a lot, he'll hold onto the ball, not unusual
Speaker 2: for second year QB. So that's going to be a
Speaker 2: huge key on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we'll see how plays out too. As an
Speaker 1: AFC guy, we're both AFC guys to watch Drake May
Speaker 1: And I'm just curious and I think the strength of
Speaker 1: schedule criticism is valid and Mike put into context their
Speaker 1: playoff offensive struggles. I just want to see, like this
Speaker 1: is a good test, and I think next season I
Speaker 1: need a whole nother season to watch Drake made it
Speaker 1: to see if he's a real deal.
Speaker 2: Well, he's the eighth quarterback to make the Super Bowl
Speaker 2: in the second year of his career, so that's good.
Speaker 2: Companies on the list with Joe Burrow, Tom Brady, Dan Marino,
Speaker 2: Ben Roethlisberger, so his career is obviously off to a
Speaker 2: great start. I'm buying Drake May. You know, I think
Speaker 2: there's a tremendous draft pick. That quarterback draft is looking
Speaker 2: better and better. Caleb Williams was the first pick. He
Speaker 2: was great for the Bears this year. Jayden Daniels was
Speaker 2: the second pick. He was incredible last year and then
Speaker 2: got hurt this year, and then he had Drake may
Speaker 2: come after that. So I think all three of those
Speaker 2: teams are really happy with their choice. And Drake may
Speaker 2: is the first of the three to get to a
Speaker 2: Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question. Then there's always guys like I don't know,
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford and Baker Mayfield. So we'll see where he
Speaker 1: ends up. I mean, you know he's going to be
Speaker 1: in the league for a while, that's for dang sure.
Speaker 1: So Super Bowl Sunday it is sixered. What is a
Speaker 1: food of choice? And don't tell me toast by the way,
Speaker 1: when you're sitting back, kicking back and just watching the
Speaker 1: games of fan, don't hit me while I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: I'm having a toast buffet.
Speaker 2: You know how I love toast. I know you're going
Speaker 2: to be at the grand opening of my Toast restaurant
Speaker 2: the Coast of the Town. I know you're very excited
Speaker 2: about that bread bread that's their slogan. On Super Bowl Sunday,
Speaker 2: I will be beginning my day with some toast as
Speaker 2: I begin every day. I'm definitely a toast for breakfast
Speaker 2: kind of guy. But you know, when the Super Bowl arrives,
Speaker 2: I gotta have wings. You know, we both have Buffalo
Speaker 2: in our past, in a Buffalo area in our past.
Speaker 2: So even though I miss Western New York wings as
Speaker 2: opposed to Cincinnati wings, I like Cincinnati wings, but they
Speaker 2: try to make them too healthy. Here. Everybody's baking their wings,
Speaker 2: you know. I want deep fried, I want a christy edge.
Speaker 2: But in many cases, yes, there will be wings at
Speaker 2: my Super Bowl spread.
Speaker 1: What do you have a spot? Do you mind plugging
Speaker 1: like you do? Since he light, I.
Speaker 2: Will probably be getting Eli's barbecue wings. I did that
Speaker 2: last year for the Super Bowl and they were excellent,
Speaker 2: so I think that's probably what we're doing good.
Speaker 1: Matt. I am a huge, huge Eli's Wings fan. I
Speaker 1: think they're among the best. If you can get to
Speaker 1: the West Side and get to to well to Mike's
Speaker 1: that's a different story, but I would say Eli's is
Speaker 1: definitely definitely up there. Definitely up there. Shooters is okay,
Speaker 1: but I'm an Eli's guy for sure, unless I'm making
Speaker 1: my own. But you can't get the big wings like
Speaker 1: you get in a restaurant. That's a hard but all
Speaker 1: like like pigeon wings. I hate that. I need some meat.
Speaker 1: I need some meat on I don't have.
Speaker 2: A deep Yeah, I don't have a deep fryer, so
Speaker 2: I don't make my own. And at Eli's they're not
Speaker 2: deepried either, but they're really really good. Oh, Tavern's got
Speaker 2: great ones or town. Look, Tavern's got really good one.
Speaker 2: So I've got some good offs all right on the
Speaker 2: east side of town. But I'm leaning Eli's cheese or ranch,
Speaker 2: oh blue cheese. A boy, God, yeah, this isn't.
Speaker 1: This ain't Cleveland, I insinuating Dan Horde, the voice of
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Always love chatting with my man. Thanks so
Speaker 1: much for jumping on this morning, and uh we'll talk
Speaker 1: again soon.
Speaker 2: Don good thanks for having me on you well.
Speaker 1: Toast and wings sounds like, sounds awful. Actually together, I
Speaker 1: have the wings. I'll skip the toast. Sloaney Home of
Speaker 1: the best Bengals coverage, Home of the Super Bowl six thirty.
Speaker 1: We got the game for you here on seven hundred
Speaker 1: WW Cincinnati. Now a man who.
Speaker 3: Has entertainment reporting, of course through his veins, which makes
Speaker 3: him a medical opity.
Speaker 4: He is ABC Will Gangs from New York.
Speaker 1: Will, Good morning, how are your son?
Speaker 3: I am trying to stay warm, as has been the
Speaker 3: case for I guess a month.
Speaker 1: At this point there's no question we have not It's
Speaker 1: Johnny Cash. We haven't seen the sun since I don't
Speaker 1: know when. Here we've got snow that came down this morning,
Speaker 1: had a couple more inches on the ground. It's like
Speaker 1: it's like this is like East Coast snow. We have
Speaker 1: piled up in Cincinnati. Most people are over it. I
Speaker 1: love a new fall and snow. I don't care how
Speaker 1: much it's on the ground.
Speaker 3: Wow, Okay, maybe I'll have to look at it through
Speaker 3: your eyes.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm That's what I'm doing wrong.
Speaker 1: Like I mean, I'm an infant. I love this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. Even shoveling. It doesn't bother me. I like
Speaker 1: to you know, I'll get a little cold when it
Speaker 1: gets down to the single digital below. That's damn. That's
Speaker 1: pretty damn cold.
Speaker 4: That's that's tough.
Speaker 3: And you know who, I feel bad for my dog,
Speaker 3: who's just like, we gotta what do you mean we're
Speaker 3: going outside again?
Speaker 4: You know, I feel bad for him.
Speaker 1: My dog is so against this. He's because he's like
Speaker 1: thirty pounds, but like he's just a pen in the grass.
Speaker 1: You're in the city, so you don't have that problem.
Speaker 1: But he's got a crap in the road now, and
Speaker 1: it's like he doesn't. He's embarrassed, he's self conscious. So
Speaker 1: what happened was I I like, I show him like, okay,
Speaker 1: so I'm going to the bathroom outside to show the
Speaker 1: dog it's okay.
Speaker 4: That's commitment. Yeah, you got to respect it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but neighbors aren't too happy about it because you know,
Speaker 1: they look at what is this and I, you know,
Speaker 1: the dog's not getting but I got to get the
Speaker 1: poop bag for both of us now. So anyway, Bad
Speaker 1: Bunny thumbs up, thumbs down.
Speaker 3: Hey, listen, I mean what's exciting about it is like,
Speaker 3: you know, there is a lot of you know, question
Speaker 3: marks around what this is.
Speaker 2: Going to be.
Speaker 3: You know, I think when you have you know, uh,
Speaker 3: like a Katy Perry type, you pretty much know what
Speaker 3: you're gonna get. But when it comes to bad Bunny,
Speaker 3: this could go in a lot of different directions. If
Speaker 3: the Grammys are any indication, you know, he did, you know,
Speaker 3: use that platform to uh make a few political statements.
Speaker 3: So you know, I wouldn't be shocked if that happens
Speaker 3: again on this Sunday. But as far as like guest
Speaker 3: performers go, somebody asked yesterday, hey, like, are you going
Speaker 3: to have any special guest performers?
Speaker 4: And he pretty much smirked and said, why are you asking?
Speaker 3: So I think we can expect some surprise performers to
Speaker 3: join him on stage. But who that might be there's there.
Speaker 4: It could be anybody. You know.
Speaker 3: Just last week he was seeing, you know, pretty chummy
Speaker 3: chummy with Lady Gaga at the Grammys, so maybe they've
Speaker 3: been rehearsing together.
Speaker 4: That's why they have this you know, friendship going on.
Speaker 3: Or you know, he's collaborated in the past with Drake,
Speaker 3: he's collaborated with Cardi B.
Speaker 2: You know, he.
Speaker 4: Performed with Shakira.
Speaker 3: So as to who will pop up with him, that's
Speaker 3: that's the real question mark, you know, So it'll be
Speaker 3: it'll be a real uh you know, surprise, I think
Speaker 3: as to who joins him on stage, But he did
Speaker 3: also say he was like, you know, you don't have
Speaker 3: to know Spanish to enjoy the halftime show.
Speaker 4: All you have to do is be ready to dance.
Speaker 1: A little bit.
Speaker 3: So I think it'll be at least a party in
Speaker 3: that sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the controversial because everything's controversial these days.
Speaker 1: You can't do anything without there being controversy is you
Speaker 1: know he's taking a stand against Ice because he's Latin,
Speaker 1: so I you know, I get that whole thing. And
Speaker 1: the question is, well, why are you having this guy?
Speaker 1: It's America, We need American urs. No you don't, because, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, ninety of the top one hundred shows, as
Speaker 1: Dan Hord pointed out moments ago, our NFL football games,
Speaker 1: it's truly most of them are all the NFL runs
Speaker 1: broadcast TV. Basically, you can't get any more fans in
Speaker 1: America than you have right now unless you are getting
Speaker 1: the next generation, younger fans, which is why they're doing
Speaker 1: you know, women's football and flag football are leaning into
Speaker 1: that whole thing. They're also expanding to different countries. They're
Speaker 1: in Europe, they're in Latin America. They want to expand
Speaker 1: Latin America. The best way to do this is take
Speaker 1: a guy who just want to grammy and has the
Speaker 1: most downloads ever on Spotify, and you put him in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl halftime show, and now those people are
Speaker 1: going to probably watch kind of like with the reason
Speaker 1: why they show a lot of Taylor Swifter in case
Speaker 1: he games because now Swifties are involved in football you're
Speaker 1: growing your audience. That's how it works. That's what this
Speaker 1: is about. It's about nothing else. Political statement. He may
Speaker 1: make them, you may disagree with it, So go watch
Speaker 1: Kid Rock or the Puppy Bowl.
Speaker 4: That's fine, exactly exactly.
Speaker 3: It's fresh eyes on a sport that you know. Otherwise
Speaker 3: these people may.
Speaker 4: Not be watching.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: If you just say, well, we should only have a
Speaker 1: American artists, well then how do you grow internationally? Because
Speaker 1: clearly that's then you should be offended when they play
Speaker 1: games in Europe or you know, Latin America or wherever
Speaker 1: else they're gonna wind up space. It's about market share
Speaker 1: and it's fully saturated. You have to go back to it.
Speaker 1: Quit watching football. They'll have to do they'll have to
Speaker 1: work hard to regain American eyeball. So nonetheless, that's how
Speaker 1: it works. It's all about selling stuff. Okay, so commercial stuff.
Speaker 1: You got any previews or is that out of your writer?
Speaker 3: I mean there's some stuff that you know as a
Speaker 3: movie fan, I'm excited for. You know, yourgo's Lanthemost who
Speaker 3: directed Four Things with Emastone and.
Speaker 4: Directed Bougonia with Emmastone.
Speaker 3: He directed a commercial that she is starring it, So
Speaker 3: it's gonna be like a mini movie, you know.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: THROUGHOUTE. We've also got Sabrina.
Speaker 3: Carpenter doing something with Pringles. You know, it's the Benson
Speaker 3: Boone and Ben Stiller commercial for Instacart. You know, it's
Speaker 3: pretty funny. So yeah, you know, it's it's always a fun,
Speaker 3: fun opportunity to see these stars do so thing a
Speaker 3: little less, take themselves less.
Speaker 4: Seriously, I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's uh, and then you know the teasers, and
Speaker 1: this year there's like more super Bowl teasers than anything
Speaker 1: else because I'll give you a little lead, Like, you know,
Speaker 1: Dann McBride does something and it's like, Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: know what this is about. There's an Eli Lilly commercial
Speaker 1: with a obese man, and I think that's a lead
Speaker 1: in for what's going to happen on Super bowls. So
Speaker 1: we got all these teasers to tease these super Bowl ads.
Speaker 4: Right right, It's it's not enough to just have the ad.
Speaker 4: Now you have like a teaser for the ad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, We've got a trailer for the
Speaker 1: ad that's coming up during Super Bowl Sunday. That's how
Speaker 1: it is. And are there only some more of these online?
Speaker 1: We're starting to see we saw this the last couple
Speaker 1: of Super Bowls will where it's not even about Super
Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday. That does put the ad up on social
Speaker 1: or online and you can see it right now. I
Speaker 1: don't feel like this year, at least with the hype,
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like they're doing that yet. They're more
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 4: I agree with you. Yeah, I think it's you know,
Speaker 4: they're they're the teaser certainly posted. Yeah, but but.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen any full ads release really on social.
Speaker 1: Too, which I'm glad. I mean, you spend a lot
Speaker 1: money I like to watch on Super Bowl Sunday. All right,
Speaker 1: So if you're not, if you're not watching college basketball
Speaker 1: and tomorrow, let's say, or maybe tomorrow night, you want
Speaker 1: to watch something, what do you have on streaming?
Speaker 3: Disney Plus, the first episode of The Muppet Show Revival
Speaker 3: is streaming now. And what I love about this is
Speaker 3: they didn't try to invent it and make it a
Speaker 3: twenty twenty sixth version of The Muppet Show. It follows
Speaker 3: the same formula that the show did in the seventies
Speaker 3: and eighties. It's Kermit trying to keep the show on
Speaker 3: the train, on the tracks, you know, it's a variety
Speaker 3: show that got musical performances and one human guest star,
Speaker 3: and in this episode it is Sabrina Carpenter. So right
Speaker 3: now it is just it's just a one episode like
Speaker 3: special event. But I think that if enough people respond
Speaker 3: well to it, if it's received well, that it will
Speaker 3: be green light as a full series.
Speaker 4: But for right now, it's just the one episode. And
Speaker 4: it's a ton of fun, you know it.
Speaker 3: And I think a lot of people are looking for
Speaker 3: something little silly, little goofy, little nostalgic right now, and
Speaker 3: it checks all those bodies.
Speaker 1: They're bringing everything back. Why not that that that should be.
Speaker 4: Easy, right right? And you're only paying one human actor
Speaker 4: to make the you know, pup teers.
Speaker 1: I make it that much money, right exactly? Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like, I don't know if I if they just
Speaker 1: went like full AI you know, c G I whatever
Speaker 1: it is as opposed to the actual muppets, it's even cheaper,
Speaker 1: but like, I don't know, I like I like felt.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, And and there's something about real felt watching Yeah,
Speaker 3: Sabrina interact with real felt that you know it just
Speaker 3: it feels right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: She's rubbing on real felt, not like you know, a
Speaker 1: digital felt real felt real whool whatever that whatever that
Speaker 1: stuff's made out of. Anyway, I know there's also something
Speaker 1: on Peacock that's dropping two and it's a I think
Speaker 1: a comedy series, is it, you know I'm.
Speaker 4: Talking about it's a dark comedy.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So this is Kiky Palmer in the Verbs and
Speaker 3: it's based on the movie from the eighties of the
Speaker 3: same name.
Speaker 4: Tom Hanks was in that movie.
Speaker 3: And yeah, so she and her husband moved back to
Speaker 3: his childhood cul de Sac and there's this creepy house
Speaker 3: across the street and she keeps thinking she's seeing someone
Speaker 3: watching her through the windows. And you know, over in
Speaker 3: the middle of the night, someone buys this creepy house
Speaker 3: and moves in, and you know, there's a little bit
Speaker 3: of a murder mystery element to it, but it's also
Speaker 3: very funny. So all eight episodes of that will drop
Speaker 3: on Sunday. I watched the first episode and I thought
Speaker 3: there was a ton of fun and she's fabulous in it,
Speaker 3: so definitely worth checking out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's watch that. I also have to give you credit.
Speaker 1: Last week you reviewed Send Help the movie and you
Speaker 1: said it was great. Yeah, and I went and saw
Speaker 1: it and it was great. Yay, good job.
Speaker 2: So glad you liked good job? Yeah, yeah we can.
Speaker 1: We talked about last night, like I saw the trailer.
Speaker 1: I like, it looks pretty good, and you said, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's actually really really good. It's bloody. It can kind
Speaker 1: of be sort of silly or funny at times, disarment,
Speaker 1: but it's a good drama and a little horse. It
Speaker 1: was like a malgamation of all these different genres of movies,
Speaker 1: and it was it was cinematic, was well shot, and
Speaker 1: the best part was I mean, I don't go to
Speaker 1: a lot of movies, but know I have Like it's
Speaker 1: Friday night, it's cold, why do we go to Let's
Speaker 1: go to matinee. So we found this place near us
Speaker 1: in Lebanon, the Comedy Square, I think it's called. And so,
Speaker 1: you know, get the tickets online. You can't pick your
Speaker 1: own seats. I'm like, okay, maybe it's like an older theater.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Roll in there, dude, check this out.
Speaker 1: The ticket matine ticket was six dollars. Wow, six bucks,
Speaker 1: and you know what the full price is? Seven?
Speaker 4: Not Hey, I'll take it. That's a bargain.
Speaker 1: We roll in got, you know, because I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is about theaters where the small is a
Speaker 1: quadruple extra large anywhere else in the world drink. So
Speaker 1: we got like a small drink and a big bag
Speaker 1: of popcorn. It was like, I think you're on like
Speaker 1: ten twelve bucks or something like that. So we're are
Speaker 1: like all in for like thus and twenty bucks.
Speaker 4: Unbelievable this day and age.
Speaker 1: I was an older theater. The seats were of like
Speaker 1: maybe nineties, you know before they now they's got a
Speaker 1: massage chair and your feet go up and there's like,
Speaker 1: you know, your feet can go to bath with goldfish,
Speaker 1: and there's hot towel, the linen service and everything else,
Speaker 1: and you're leaning all the way back, happy ending. You
Speaker 1: get everything watching this movie. This is just like this
Speaker 1: eats went back a little bit, but they weren't ridiculously
Speaker 1: wide or leather, and you know, we're two rows of seats.
Speaker 1: Iile up the middle old school. The screen was about
Speaker 1: the size of a really really good home theater system.
Speaker 1: But it was awesome. We were like, we got to
Speaker 1: go back to this place. They did. It was a
Speaker 1: great little theater, fantastic, So that was a big surprise.
Speaker 1: And we've also said like, hey, you know, it's twenty bucks.
Speaker 1: If the movie sucks, we can walk out. It's only
Speaker 1: twenty bucks. But it was great, so send help was fantastic, awesome.

Speaker 1: Oh sure, yeah, gotcha. I know where you're at. Thanks buddy,
Speaker 1: appreciate it. There you go, Defla put him down. That's
Speaker 1: why he doesn't do the sports segment here on the show.
Speaker 1: That's why I have Dan Horde and Austin Elmore on
Speaker 1: Friday's talking about this stuff. Say he's the movie, guys,
Speaker 1: what he is? And help? I'm telling you it was
Speaker 1: a good movie. It's worth even if you pay the
Speaker 1: twenty bucks or whatever it is. But that place I've
Speaker 1: been levenon was great, Man six bucks, and I felt
Speaker 1: really really old because we're like, there were two other
Speaker 1: people in there and it's like the old people matinee.
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, I'm leaning into it.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: It's great. I didn't even like think about pulling out
Speaker 1: like a golden Buckeye carter. I get four cents off
Speaker 1: that it's six dollars. They're not making up some money
Speaker 1: on that deal. I felt obliged to buy the popcorn.
Speaker 1: It was damn good popcorn too, I was. I was
Speaker 1: very very surprised, very pleasantly surprised, and then't good to
Speaker 1: get things like that where you buy something and ah,
Speaker 1: so we're doing good, we're doing good. Other end of
Speaker 1: the spectrum on that. So yesterday I was talking about
Speaker 1: how Dorothy and Lanemarket dropped food off to us and
Speaker 1: I love loved out Dorothy Lemery Spist and it's one
Speaker 1: of those places you go and some of the stuff
Speaker 1: can be a little more expensive and you go and
Speaker 1: you're like, man, and then you try. It's like I've
Speaker 1: never had anything bad there. So yesterday after the show,
Speaker 1: I roll in and I saw some nice land in
Speaker 1: the parking lot. She's like slowy, like yeah, she said,
Speaker 1: you really do go here? Like yeah, I go here,
Speaker 1: of course I do. So I go in and I'm
Speaker 1: like I'm just getting I kind of like on the
Speaker 1: verge of a cold, like it's been four or five
Speaker 1: days where it's just hanging out, like I got one
Speaker 1: nostril that's semi full of goo, but everything else is fine.
Speaker 1: Like I'm not sure if I'm getting it, getting over
Speaker 1: it and leaning into it. I don't know. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make some soup, get a orange. I'm walking by.
Speaker 1: They've got fresh sweeze orange juice there. Oh nice? I
Speaker 1: got like, what is a quard half gallon a bucket?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It sound like a big thing of it. My barrel
Speaker 1: looks pretty good, and so I just grab it, put
Speaker 1: in my cart whatever, I'll give my credit card what
Speaker 1: I'm not paying attention. I get home about a few
Speaker 1: things and I started looking at the bath I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: that alls so expensive. I look up and the orange
Speaker 1: juice is like seventeen dollars, and I went I really
Speaker 1: got to look at cause that was like seventy Come on.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I gotta check the prices better. Michelle
Speaker 1: gonna yell at me. She found so I threw their
Speaker 1: seat up. So anyway, I'm like, okay, I'll have a
Speaker 1: glass orange and shake it up. And it was like
Speaker 1: drinking nectar out of an Angel's nipple. It was incredible,
Speaker 1: how good the orange juice was, like, not frozen, not concentrated.
Speaker 1: You just this image her in the minute. Hit your lips.
Speaker 1: It's sweet and it's tangy, and it's super bright and fresh,
Speaker 1: and damn it, it was totally worth it, totally worth.
Speaker 1: Don't mix it, don't make a my mose out of it.
Speaker 1: It was just because normally orange juice it tastes orangees.
Speaker 1: This was incredible, like the best orange juice I've ever had.
Speaker 1: And I went, damn it, they did it to me again.
Speaker 1: They win, they always win. It's so good, so good,
Speaker 1: and hopefully that kicks my cold. In the bottle a
Speaker 1: bit of vitamin see. I know it's more of livestele
Speaker 1: again and the itam is already, but just try to
Speaker 1: hang out, just trying to hang out. So yeah, it
Speaker 1: was you know what, little indulgences, Little indulgences. That's why
Speaker 1: I look at it. I went, you know what, I
Speaker 1: could pay that for a cocktail at the bar. I
Speaker 1: got a whole thing or fresh orange juice tastes like
Speaker 1: nipple nectar. Scott's Loan Show seven hundred ww here we
Speaker 1: go Floaning seven hundred WW News comes your way in
Speaker 1: about two minutes. Two minutes from now, very let's going on,
Speaker 1: including the what's going on with the Savannah guthriees vond
Speaker 1: down A Guthrie still missing now and it's getting to
Speaker 1: that point now you're like, man, she didn't have her medicine.
Speaker 1: She's gonna last twenty four hours. You want to hope
Speaker 1: that the person who is you know, do you just
Speaker 1: want to say it's still like an inside job, a
Speaker 1: family member something like that if it were, and hopefully
Speaker 1: they had the medicine for but man, even the blood
Speaker 1: outside and everything else, that's not good heading into close
Speaker 1: to a week at this point right now. So the
Speaker 1: very latest on that. By the way, there was a
Speaker 1: talking about it yesterday, there was a ransom note. I
Speaker 1: think there are a couple, as the story goes, because
Speaker 1: the one was a fraud in fake. They caught the
Speaker 1: guy responsible for that, and you know you should go
Speaker 1: not only to hell, but to prison the rest of
Speaker 1: your life. You're trying to exploit that situation with that
Speaker 1: poor family. But I guess maybe the other one is
Speaker 1: was real because Savannah Guthrie released that video saying hey,
Speaker 1: you have her or let her know, we need proof
Speaker 1: she's still live, because you can fake things with AI
Speaker 1: and all that. So the very latest on this bizarre
Speaker 1: case involving her, and of course the local ties here
Speaker 1: to Notre Dame Academy in northern Kentucky, so we'll get
Speaker 1: an update on that one. We do have snow flying
Speaker 1: as we speak right now, started a little while ago,
Speaker 1: and it should continue at least for they think maybe
Speaker 1: Rought Mount starting to wrap up at this point. I
Speaker 1: wigh full forecast in just minutes on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: On the way, we get more Super Bowl discussion. Austin
Speaker 1: Elmoores here from ESPN fifteen thirty. We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1: The bizarre story about a skier Olympic skier Apparently there's
Speaker 1: a scandal brewing at the Olympics right now, and I
Speaker 1: don't know how to word this for sensitive ears real quick,
Speaker 1: but apparently it involves male skiers injecting their penises P
Speaker 1: and I, as it were, with a drug that causes
Speaker 1: things swell up down there, and somehow this leads to
Speaker 1: them getting an extra nine feet of distance when they
Speaker 1: do the long jump. I am making this stuff up.
Speaker 1: I'm not making this up. It's a true st it
Speaker 1: feels like the onion, but it really is not the onion.
Speaker 1: It may be a bloomin onion, but it's not the
Speaker 1: onion anyway. News on the way and more to follow
Speaker 1: here it's a Scott's Loan Show, Happy Friday, Super Bowl Sunday.
Speaker 1: You'll hear it at six thirty right here on the
Speaker 1: home of the Super Bowl, seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati. Scott
Speaker 1: Flunk Show on seven hundred WLW. Something like sixteen and
Speaker 1: a half million eligible veterans are not enrolled in VA
Speaker 1: benefits nine million R and so my math tells me
Speaker 1: that's about two thirds of veterans. If you're a veteran,
Speaker 1: two thirds of you aren't using your VA healthcare benefits
Speaker 1: they've earned. That's an astonishingly low participation rate for something
Speaker 1: you have earned. Steve Belsos here as the director of
Speaker 1: Claremont County Veteran Service Commission, ste welcome, are.
Speaker 5: You say, I'm well, sir?
Speaker 1: You're doing well? Happy New Year? That is that's amazing,
Speaker 1: because you know, we hear about we talk from time
Speaker 1: to time when you come in, talk about VA benefits
Speaker 1: and the like. But two thirds aren't using them. Where
Speaker 1: are they? Going. Is it just because they have private healthcare?
Speaker 1: Well potentially. Okay, So you.
Speaker 6: Have a service member that does a short contract of
Speaker 6: three or four years, they get out, nothing monumental happen
Speaker 6: health wise on active duty, and they think it's just
Speaker 6: for those old guys retiring with bumps, bruises, broken legs,
Speaker 6: what have you, that would use the VA healthcare.
Speaker 5: But that's not the truth.
Speaker 6: When a service member leaving the service with a D
Speaker 6: two fourteen, or a reservist that has something happen while
Speaker 6: during training that he has a he or she has
Speaker 6: a letter of record to the incident, can take that
Speaker 6: to the VA and enroll in healthcare.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so you go and you can roll in healthcare.
Speaker 1: So you can't have private healthcare and VA and they
Speaker 1: can compliment each other.
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 6: So matter of fact, I do, I have three. I've
Speaker 6: retired from active duty, so I have one from the military.
Speaker 6: I'm uh converensated by the VA with my injuries, so
Speaker 6: I have full health care through the VA, and by
Speaker 6: working for the county, the county also covers me with
Speaker 6: their healthcare as well.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 5: Listen to you, Bragg, I know that you can't believe
Speaker 5: how confusing is.
Speaker 1: Somebody look at it right, or I can't even get
Speaker 1: how he's got three?
Speaker 6: But yeah, and the vendors are going, uh, we're not
Speaker 6: going to apply any of it. You still owe us money.
Speaker 1: So sure, our healthcare system is a mess in America.
Speaker 1: That's a that's the non VA thing. It's like, what
Speaker 1: are we doing three again?
Speaker 5: I still get a bill?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's unbelievable.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting though, too, because you know the
Speaker 1: idea that that only veterans are injured like yourself or
Speaker 1: have disability to somehow multiple and that's not true, right.
Speaker 5: No, it's not, no, it's not no.
Speaker 6: What the there's almost a matrix in how that flow
Speaker 6: chart looks. Right, So, somebody that's compensated by the VA
Speaker 6: for injuries on active duty that are rated at fifty
Speaker 6: percent or above, their healthcare is free to the VA.
Speaker 6: But if you've enrolled in healthcare, and you might be okay,
Speaker 6: this happened on active duty, but it's really not impacting you,
Speaker 6: and you're zero percent, you can instill enroll in their
Speaker 6: healthcare and you would pay a nominal copay as you
Speaker 6: would with a private party through whatever your employer is okay.
Speaker 1: As part of this too, the historic experience and certainly
Speaker 1: maybe not from maybe from younger ve's I don't know,
Speaker 1: but for veterans who have had negative experience stories about
Speaker 1: the VA from you know, years ago, and it's always
Speaker 1: hard to those things persist in stereotypes stick around. But
Speaker 1: how has the VA healthcare change in terms of quality
Speaker 1: but also accessibility?
Speaker 6: Oh my, you know, I stuttered a little bit because
Speaker 6: I am so proud of the Cincinnati VA. And again
Speaker 6: I'm not from the VA, right Claremont County Veterans Service Office,
Speaker 6: so I'm not from the VA. Don't work for the VA,
Speaker 6: work for the county. I've been through multiple VA hospitals
Speaker 6: after retirement of twenty nine years in a Marine Corps,
Speaker 6: from Georgia to Columbus to now Cincinnati. The Cincinnati VA,
Speaker 6: in my opinion, is one of the best vas I've
Speaker 6: ever been in. They're genuine, they're welcoming. But I also
Speaker 6: think this is why their parking lot is always so full.
Speaker 6: Great service. Personal friend of mine going through cancer SLOONI
Speaker 6: not enrolled with VA Healthcare, signed up online.
Speaker 5: They took care of every.
Speaker 6: Issue of his going through his cancer treatment, and he
Speaker 6: say Steve, I can't get over how genuine, nice and
Speaker 6: pleasant the people are going through my treatment. They know
Speaker 6: me by name when I'm coming in. They're ensuring my
Speaker 6: health as well, he says. I The misnumber of the
Speaker 6: VAS just slaughtering the wrong leg off, right, Make sure
Speaker 6: you put a big X, not this leg, the other
Speaker 6: one or whatever. The service sure we have right, not
Speaker 6: the Cincinnati VA. Go see them and experience it for
Speaker 6: yourself before you just take a negative line because everyone
Speaker 6: else says it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, two thirds of eligible veterans do not use VA healthcare.
Speaker 1: And we're kind of talking about that Steep also this
Speaker 1: morning with the Claremont County Veteran Service Commission. Well, I
Speaker 1: think probably another one of the concepts, and I know
Speaker 1: if I'm talking to you over the past years, is
Speaker 1: a lot of veterans think that somehow it's a limited quantity,
Speaker 1: that you're taking away care for someone else who may
Speaker 1: be suffering and worse shape they are. And how how
Speaker 1: does that funding work when when veterans enroll, because clearly
Speaker 1: that's a misconception.
Speaker 6: It is, well, and it is some of the older
Speaker 6: veterans whose parents or grandparents came through the Depression era
Speaker 6: where they all straighten out their own nails, and you
Speaker 6: had a bucket, and you had a victory garden, and
Speaker 6: you were self reliant and self confident, and you're going
Speaker 6: to take care of your own family. And so they're
Speaker 6: hesitant to take from the VA. And then secondly, because
Speaker 6: there's limited quantities growing up, I don't want to take
Speaker 6: from someone else who may need them worse than me.
Speaker 6: But the fact is, the more people that enroll in
Speaker 6: VA healthcare, such as the Cincinnati VA, the greater their
Speaker 6: budget's going to be because it's based off in roll
Speaker 6: these So you can actually help the VA locally by
Speaker 6: enrolling in VA healthcare. Therefore, as you get your hearing aids,
Speaker 6: they get a bigger budget line to afford more hearing
Speaker 6: aids such as an example, to take care of local veterans.
Speaker 6: So to stay away and not accept it because someone
Speaker 6: else needs it worse than you. Flip that narrative. The
Speaker 6: fact that you enrolled and you are receiving care brings
Speaker 6: a bigger budget line into our VA here in Cincinnati,
Speaker 6: more staff, and therefore more services can be made available.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, people are still going back to the Great Depression
Speaker 1: and going.
Speaker 6: Well, am I still dealing with those veterans really really really,
Speaker 6: I mean we still have some World War II veterans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know we do. So it's like I can't
Speaker 1: imagine we're still thinking that's the way.
Speaker 5: It's still less non vets who are their parents. That's
Speaker 5: the way they were read and right, so we change.
Speaker 6: You could have taken me out of the trailer park,
Speaker 6: but you're not taking a trailer park out of me.
Speaker 6: So nonetheless, as the grandparents influenced me, my parents influenced me,
Speaker 6: so do I somewhat think today and challenging that narrative
Speaker 6: is a struggle. Right, we're doing it one degree at
Speaker 6: a time. And the veterans are listening to this show
Speaker 6: and you're not enrolled in VA healthcare, go see it out.
Speaker 1: Okay, I just wondered, like, you know, is there a
Speaker 1: mustard gas expiry? Went Its like it's like we're living
Speaker 1: through the Great War again or something here digging trenches.
Speaker 6: And right, yeah, no, it's yeah, it's but again though
Speaker 6: you don't know what you don't know.
Speaker 5: So that's why we do this show.
Speaker 1: And it persists, and it's like, okay, I got not
Speaker 1: taking away care from anyone else, And now it's there
Speaker 1: for me because I earned it, so it's not like
Speaker 1: it's in limited supply. That makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: You know, when it comes to enrollment and accessibility, you
Speaker 1: have to go to the VA facilitating in a role.
Speaker 5: No you do not, No, you do not.
Speaker 6: It's in today's technology technological world. We have VA dot
Speaker 6: gov where you can sign up for healthcare just through
Speaker 6: their website. You can see any one of your county
Speaker 6: Veteran Service offices and they will help you enroll in
Speaker 6: healthcare as well.
Speaker 1: Do you have an issue with people going, hey, look
Speaker 1: it's been years since I about on the service, so
Speaker 1: I'm not eligible. Like there's some sort of window I
Speaker 1: have to enroll right after I am you know, received
Speaker 1: my discharge papers.
Speaker 6: Actually that's somewhat inverted that most things. Because I just
Speaker 6: got off active duty, I can't enroll yet.
Speaker 1: Like there's there's a waiting period which is as soon
Speaker 1: as once you're separated here.
Speaker 6: The next day exactly. So yesterday was my last day
Speaker 6: of active duty. Today I'm enrolled. I would imagine now
Speaker 6: in today's world that as they're leaving active duties, that
Speaker 6: they're already submitting the paperwork, so that there's a seamless
Speaker 6: transition to move into VA healthcare.
Speaker 1: Seems like they should be part of the separation process.
Speaker 6: All right, it's like scause DoD and VA or separate
Speaker 6: federal organizations.
Speaker 1: They can't.
Speaker 6: I think they can, but there's never been. You know,
Speaker 6: we're talking pillars of communication and will you cross talk right?
Speaker 6: And I think we're getting better at that.
Speaker 1: Okay, once you you do leave military and active duty,
Speaker 1: in any transition to civilian life, what did vacare? Give
Speaker 1: me a scope of what it all entails? What are
Speaker 1: you entitled to?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: What it was it cover?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 6: So one, in a general prospect, I can elect to
Speaker 6: use the VA as my primary care physician. I've got
Speaker 6: a DT two fourteen, i was honorably discharged. I can
Speaker 6: lect to use them as my primary care physician. And
Speaker 6: I may have zero for compensation and pension because I
Speaker 6: had no injuries on active duty. I might have had
Speaker 6: a cold. I can still sign up for the healthcare
Speaker 6: much like your private industry insurance. I'm going to have
Speaker 6: a cold pay, but you can still sign up for
Speaker 6: VA healthcare. Oh cool, all right, I can have multiple
Speaker 6: health care try care for life. I've does everybody get
Speaker 6: prescription benefits too. They do so at fifty percent or
Speaker 6: above compensated by the VA. Your prescriptions and all of
Speaker 6: your healthcare is free to the VA if you're under that.
Speaker 6: I would imagine there's a somewhat of a scale of
Speaker 6: how much you're going to pay for prescriptions and visits.
Speaker 5: But again it's almost like a co pay.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and I started to play. I think most
Speaker 1: people are like, wow, you know, do one tour, serve
Speaker 1: for a term and I'm eligible for all this stuff.
Speaker 5: Oh incredible, it is incredible.
Speaker 6: But then with to be able to order your medications
Speaker 6: online building your presence, you go to VA dot gov,
Speaker 6: you open up my healthy vet and you reorder your
Speaker 6: prescriptions and I can get them in the mail for
Speaker 6: ninety day prescriptions.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And all does is if you're in Claremont County
Speaker 1: or whatever county it is, go to your Veterans Service Commission,
Speaker 1: you Stephen, Claremont County. People reach out to you. You
Speaker 1: help facilitate this whole process. Get him signed up, getting
Speaker 1: ready to go.
Speaker 5: That's right, easolutely, yeah, really easy.
Speaker 6: But there is some there's some unknowns that can somewhat
Speaker 6: hurt the veteran.
Speaker 5: We've been on Sony.
Speaker 6: We talked maybe last year about suicide prevention, right, right,
Speaker 6: and so the VA will support if you were having
Speaker 6: issues and the veteran goes to any hospital, the VA
Speaker 6: says we will cover that because that was a mental issue.
Speaker 6: You have to apply that. You have to call the
Speaker 6: customer care line within seventy two hours to notify the VA.
Speaker 6: If you don't, potentially you're covering some of that bill.
Speaker 1: Got it.
Speaker 6: So ensure you're getting the card about the number to call,
Speaker 6: your spouse or your family knows about it. That if
Speaker 6: I even taken by ambulance and they take me to
Speaker 6: Mercy Health christ Hospital somewhere here local, that they call
Speaker 6: that number within seventy two hours to notify the VA.
Speaker 6: It doesn't mean they're going to drag you downtown to
Speaker 6: the VA. Yeah, especially if you're in the ICU. They're
Speaker 6: not going to drag you anywhere. But that helps start
Speaker 6: the process to where you're not incurring some of that billing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't you know, freak out because you
Speaker 1: need emergency treat and now you go to a trauma center.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if you're a plan or not. But
Speaker 1: that's going to be taken care of. Just give you know,
Speaker 1: seventy two hours reasonable period to let a loved one
Speaker 1: or you know, your nurse someone know that. That's the case.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, but it's an unknown, yeah, and it's one of
Speaker 6: those we try to teach as much as we can.
Speaker 6: They actually have cards down at the VA, So if
Speaker 6: you're downtown Cincinnati, try to find one of them, put
Speaker 6: it in your wallet and let your spouse know it's there.
Speaker 5: Put it with an ID. Actually, I wish they had
Speaker 5: bracelets that they would have to put.
Speaker 1: In your ice contact on your phone, you know, have
Speaker 1: emergency right, absolutely, yeah, and then they will know that.
Speaker 1: So the takeaway here, if there's one thing you want
Speaker 1: a veteran to know who's not enrolled, what would that be? Enroll?
Speaker 1: Enroll We that's easy.
Speaker 6: Roll right, It's got to start somewhere. What's the foundation
Speaker 6: you have to enroll? And by enrolling, you're actually benefiting
Speaker 6: the VA with a budget that they can sustain the
Speaker 6: local community of veterans who need service. You're actually helping
Speaker 6: those on your left and right, whether you need to
Speaker 6: use them or not.
Speaker 1: And an easy part of making it something easy even
Speaker 1: easier is if you're frustrated by the process. Confused where
Speaker 1: to start, Call you guys, get ahold of you guys.
Speaker 1: You'll you'll hold their hand and take them through right, absolutely, okay.
Speaker 1: Number there at the Clairemont County Service Vet and Service
Speaker 1: Commission is Clemont.
Speaker 6: County Veterans dot Com five one three seven three two
Speaker 6: seven three six three.
Speaker 1: Of course, if you're not in Clermont, Connie, there's a
Speaker 1: b SC in every county in Ohio. In Ohio, Steve
Speaker 1: all the best, buddy, Thanks for coming in this morning
Speaker 1: for sciate it take well, that's it. It's over on Sunday. Course,
Speaker 1: Super Bowl sixty is coming up. We'll talk to Austin
Speaker 1: Elmore about the last football game of the season. Can't
Speaker 1: wait for it same time, can't wait for next year
Speaker 1: to start. The Bengals can get retooled in the offseason.
Speaker 1: We shall see. We also talk about with Super Bowl preview.
Speaker 1: Austin Elmore from ESPN fifteen thirty jumps in as we
Speaker 1: roll on this Friday morning with snow falling down snow,
Speaker 1: we got snow baby, seven hundred wlwts sloding here the
Speaker 1: seven hundred wlw Welcome to it. Uh news on to
Speaker 1: wait in about three minutes and it's really starting to
Speaker 1: pile up out there right now. And you know, they
Speaker 1: said maybe one to three inches, and now it's looking
Speaker 1: like more two to four. And and I just talked
Speaker 1: to Tom Brenneman. I called. He said, hey, let people
Speaker 1: know he's driving up to do a game. And he's
Speaker 1: was driving a little bit through Clinton County. So once
Speaker 1: you get up to Clinton County, it is literally whiteout conditions.
Speaker 1: We're kind of getting that down here in Kenwood, depending
Speaker 1: where you are, but white condition. You can't see the
Speaker 1: lines in the road city I know, oh, outside plant
Speaker 1: and it doesn't look like they touched it at all,
Speaker 1: and they may have. It's just coming down a lot
Speaker 1: but a lot of semis off the side of the
Speaker 1: road and turned over. So it is definitely a white
Speaker 1: knuckle thirty five mile in our experience if you're on
Speaker 1: seventy one. So if you don't need to go to
Speaker 1: or come back down, you know, come from Columbus, you
Speaker 1: want to avoid that for the next few hours. They're saying,
Speaker 1: you know, it looks like I'm just looking at the
Speaker 1: radar now that the snows can be around for at
Speaker 1: least another hour. I think too. And it's coming down
Speaker 1: pretty good right now. I know seventy four on the
Speaker 1: west side, traffic's all back that it's backing up all
Speaker 1: over the place. So this is kind of, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say caught with our pants down situation, but getting a
Speaker 1: little bit more heavier in a little bit more accumulation
Speaker 1: than initially predicted. So if you don't have to go out,
Speaker 1: it's one of those deals where well, don't go out
Speaker 1: if you're stuck there, it's too late for you. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: If you are stuck there, We'll hang on. We've got
Speaker 1: Austin Elmore from ESPN fifteen thirty coming out in just
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes on the show. Talk about Super
Speaker 1: Bowl sixty. You've got the Seahawks, you got the Patriots.
Speaker 1: It feels like to me like the New England Patriots
Speaker 1: with Drake May that this team feels like the Bengals
Speaker 1: when they went to the Super Bowl against because you know,
Speaker 1: the losing seasons back to back and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, boom, they become the darling in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Felt like that was the Bengals during that Super Bowl run,
Speaker 1: just kind of flying under the radar for a long time.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think I still think Seattle wins. I
Speaker 1: know about you, but I'm just there for the football, baby.
Speaker 1: One more football game and then it is over. Then
Speaker 1: we can start talking about the Bengals rebuild, retool and
Speaker 1: get ready for OTAs and of course spring and leading
Speaker 1: to eventually training camp. But we've got Reds baseball too,
Speaker 1: so we're kind of hind the Reds right now too,
Speaker 1: with now adding a little bit more firepar spending more
Speaker 1: money than initially thought. So looked like maybe Phil Castelini
Speaker 1: getting booed might have paid some dividends when he got
Speaker 1: poot where it's Sinta Center that they go out and
Speaker 1: they get a back and bringing a guy back that
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's no one loves. So it feels good. It feels good.
Speaker 1: So we got that in a way. Anyway, we got
Speaker 1: a news update, as I said, and Austin returns in
Speaker 1: just minutes. We'll also get the very latest on the
Speaker 1: other big story today, and that involves Savannah Guthrie's mom
Speaker 1: and what the latest is on this really weird situation.
Speaker 1: Now you're heading what day six, and you want to
Speaker 1: pray that she's alive and well wherever she is, hopefully,
Speaker 1: because she needed that medication for the first twenty four
Speaker 1: at least twenty fours after and I don't know, hopefully
Speaker 1: that people have access to the medication she needs if
Speaker 1: indeed she's being held hostage, and you hope that she
Speaker 1: is still alive. So we'll get an update on all
Speaker 1: that in just minutes. Here it's a Scott's Loan show
Speaker 1: Friday morning, seven hundred WLWD Cincinnati super Bowl Sunday is here,
Speaker 1: and then we have that lull pictures and catchers report.
Speaker 1: There's NBA action getting out the wire, NHL if you're
Speaker 1: into that like me, sick for the puck, and of
Speaker 1: course college basketball with Miami still being undefeated. Austin almore
Speaker 1: on that and more on seven hundred. He jumps in
Speaker 1: from ESPN fifteen thirty does a show with Tony Pike
Speaker 1: at noon over there. Check that out. It's always a
Speaker 1: good time, always a good time. Hi, Hello, Scott, how
Speaker 1: are you You're good?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Right?
Speaker 1: This snowy weather, I love it. I love the snow,
Speaker 1: me too. It's also nasty on the roads right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: parking lot everywhere.
Speaker 7: There's some big thick flakes coming down at the like thick.
Speaker 1: Is this a clipper? Are they.
Speaker 7: Clipper down just a little bit and then pops right?
Speaker 7: That's like two or three hours and a bunch of
Speaker 7: it's a clipper. Okay, all right, not a squall, it's
Speaker 7: a clipper.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's jump into the big stories today.
Speaker 1: Obviously super Bowl sixty. We'll touch on that in a second.
Speaker 1: What about the skier injecting penises with a drug? Did
Speaker 1: you hear this latest Olympic moment?
Speaker 7: I have maybe failed the audience here because I've seen
Speaker 7: the headline, but I have not cared to read the story.
Speaker 1: I read this story. Okay, explain this to me. So
Speaker 1: these are the long jumpers. They go off that rample
Speaker 1: of sports. That's amazing, right, Like I never try it, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I get it. So right before they compete, they
Speaker 1: get fitted for their uniforms and they are I guess
Speaker 1: custom made. I don't know how this works with the
Speaker 1: fitting and everything else. So apparently they figured out, like
Speaker 1: that velocity in that height in what you're doing. Apparently
Speaker 1: any aerodynamic advantage can literally result in metaling or not sure.
Speaker 1: So what the male figured out the men is, if
Speaker 1: you inject your penis with this drug, to make things
Speaker 1: bigger down there, you get fitted for your your suit,
Speaker 1: you're it all goes back to normal at some point,
Speaker 1: and now you've got a little extra fabric down there.
Speaker 1: Apparently that is translated. The extra two inches of fabric
Speaker 1: is translating to an additional nine feet in distance. How
Speaker 1: does that work? Well, it's so women don't have and
Speaker 1: so what happens is wouldn't you want less fabric?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: So think about it. Have you seen like the paragliders
Speaker 1: where there are a skydiver and they've got like a
Speaker 1: batsuit almost with a hand.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what this does, except for your crotch. I see,
Speaker 7: so it catches a little more air, correct, I see?
Speaker 1: Okay? Interesting? How much do you care about your If
Speaker 1: you could get a I don't know, an extra half
Speaker 1: a ratings point, would you injectors? I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: of something that Austin would do. Would you if you
Speaker 1: could bowl? I don't know, what's your sport? I I, uh, nothing,
Speaker 1: I was going to say, I don't talking about sports. Sport?
Speaker 1: You get an extra I don't know, a couple of
Speaker 1: miles out of your tongue corn Like, Wait, they're doing what?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing. I don't know what women would do.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know that. Yeah, I don't know that
Speaker 1: they're little extra padded brow Maybe when you get didn't
Speaker 1: does that work? I don't know. I feel like there
Speaker 1: needs to be a gap in which I don't know. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know the Olympians to figure something that going. Hey,
Speaker 1: if I like you're gonna do what, that's fascinating. That's
Speaker 1: fascinating to me.
Speaker 7: I mean, it has to make it really big to
Speaker 7: get an extra two inches of fabric, Like, there has
Speaker 7: to be an excessive amount of extra size added by
Speaker 7: whatever they are injected. Correct, So how did they figure
Speaker 7: this out? What did the artist such a thing? It's
Speaker 7: like the first guy to do this. Did the people
Speaker 7: fitting the suit say, hey, uh, everybody's got all of
Speaker 7: a sudden right bigger package.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Interesting, it's it's any of the
Speaker 1: competitive edges are fascinating.
Speaker 7: I don't know that I would ever inject anything down
Speaker 7: there for a competitive I don't think I would do
Speaker 7: at all.
Speaker 1: Any other end up competitive vantage. Lindsey Van is superhuman
Speaker 1: like man. She blows her acel out for the three
Speaker 1: hundredth time they show a video of her training, it's
Speaker 1: like doing squat chumps and stuff like that with weights, Like,
Speaker 1: how does she not feel pain? I don't get. She's incredible,
Speaker 1: first of all, she's tough as nails.
Speaker 7: Second of all, I do think you know that the
Speaker 7: biggest part with acls and lcls from people that have
Speaker 7: injured them in the past and gone through maybe not
Speaker 7: necessarily people who are athletes, is the day to day
Speaker 7: life is not that hard. It's the cutting and the
Speaker 7: turning that makes it difficult. And I the more I
Speaker 7: think about it, with a brace, with some tourtol or
Speaker 7: a painkiller or whatever you're allowed to take for a
Speaker 7: minute and forty second race, maybe there's a way for
Speaker 7: her to do this without it really affecting her. She's practicing,
Speaker 7: she'd going through trial runs right now. She's posted about it.
Speaker 7: I've followed Lindsay Van on Instagram for a long time.
Speaker 1: Crazy.
Speaker 7: Her training regimen is unlike anything I've ever seen. That
Speaker 7: is one of the truly greatest athletes I've ever Seenie.
Speaker 1: I give her a lot of credit.
Speaker 7: Now, she's got a lot of money at stake if
Speaker 7: she were to miss it, and so I'm sure that
Speaker 7: plays a role in this as well. But also, man,
Speaker 7: I hope she goes out there and finds it. She
Speaker 7: was not a favorite to win this. I know she's
Speaker 7: always kind of been an underdog. It would be a
Speaker 7: great story and it gets hurt. It's crazy. She's been
Speaker 7: like evil. Caniebels love surgeries. Her and Tiger Woods really
Speaker 7: were made for each other. They really were.
Speaker 1: All right, let's jump into the big story this weekend.
Speaker 1: That's U see basketballs. Is wes Miller still crying? That's
Speaker 1: a good I don't know, is hesh I like wes Miller,
Speaker 1: but dude, it's time to go. You're not the only UC.
Speaker 7: The Bearcats need to look at it and say, Okay,
Speaker 7: we can't keep doing this. Wes Miller needs to look
Speaker 7: at it and say, I'm making a fool out of myself.
Speaker 7: I know there's a buy out here. Maybe they can
Speaker 7: split the gap. Maybe the agent gets involved and say, listen,
Speaker 7: my client is doing irreparable damage to his reputation currently
Speaker 7: and in the future. Now you need to insert some
Speaker 7: juice into the program and into the fan base. You
Speaker 7: need some help. Let's just do the right thing here,
Speaker 7: split the gap and go our separate way.
Speaker 1: Yes, because because you see the trajector of the Patino
Speaker 1: on the you know, a cross down cheetah, that there's energy,
Speaker 1: that's he's going to move that program for correct Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you don't have that year.
Speaker 7: And you've been way longer here at U see the
Speaker 7: same stuff is the issue. They can't score points. Wes
Speaker 7: Miller is broken, and he was a broken man last
Speaker 7: night on these airwaves, and he was a broken man
Speaker 7: last night in the tunnel talking to those fans in
Speaker 7: that video. It's sad, it really is, and I think
Speaker 7: it's just best for everybody to move on.
Speaker 1: Well, you know that's the EJA exactly. But again, Cincinnati, Now,
Speaker 1: I would say if if he just picked the wrong sport,
Speaker 1: if he were running our football program at the Bengals,
Speaker 1: he'd he'd be fine. Like Zach Taylor did. Never get
Speaker 1: rid of this guy anyway, I don't think that's true.
Speaker 1: I think it's true. Wes Miller has not been successful
Speaker 1: at anything. I know Zach Taylor at least has. It
Speaker 1: feels bengalish, it really does. I don't. I don't agree
Speaker 1: with that. Wes Miller has sucked. He hasn't done done anything.
Speaker 1: So they played the same thing, the same game for
Speaker 1: five years. We just can plays. There's no postseason, so
Speaker 1: advancement or what's driving as the boosters, right, yeah, and
Speaker 1: they're not happy. Yeah, well it's clearly not happy enough
Speaker 1: because they have I think the ultimate issues further up
Speaker 1: you go up the food chain is nobody at that
Speaker 1: nobody that's a Bearcat fan trust John Cunning him to
Speaker 1: make the right decision. To keep in mind, this is
Speaker 1: the guy who passed on Kurt Signetti and chose Scott
Speaker 1: Saderfield instead. So I just disagree with the Bengal thing.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's necessarily true. Let me pivot to
Speaker 1: U NFL football. We got Super Bowl Sunday, number sixty,
Speaker 1: I believe if you're counting, and of course it's the
Speaker 1: Patriots and the Seahawks and setting up for I just
Speaker 1: I don't know what which quarterback I trust more at
Speaker 1: this point, Like Sam Darnald couldn't figure out the second
Speaker 1: half and he did against the Rams, and then May
Speaker 1: is like just his stats for the postseason aren't very good,
Speaker 1: but they keep winning, So I ca, Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know which quarterback guy like more.
Speaker 7: It feels like if yeah, it feels like with Sam Darnold,
Speaker 7: you're just kind of waiting for that moment for him
Speaker 7: to like urinate down his leg.
Speaker 1: We've seen it over the course of his career.
Speaker 7: We saw it in the playoffs last year with Minnesota,
Speaker 7: and you're just kind of waiting for like, Okay, is
Speaker 7: this moment going to be too big for him? Is
Speaker 7: this all going to come in and crash and burn
Speaker 7: like we've seen with Sam Darnald in the past, and
Speaker 7: with Drake may you're like, Wow, this dude's only in
Speaker 7: his second year. He's turned the ball over a lot
Speaker 7: in the postseas, He's going up against an elite defense.
Speaker 7: Who do I really trust more? I think that's fair
Speaker 7: for me right now. I trust Sam Darnald Moore just
Speaker 7: because I think the Seahawks defense is going to create
Speaker 7: a lot of problems for Drake Mayo.
Speaker 2: Froun.
Speaker 1: He showed out in that last game that where he
Speaker 1: figured out in the second half and it was like,
Speaker 1: looked like the guy he was leading the team right. Sure,
Speaker 1: and Drake may at times looks like he's paralyzed. But
Speaker 1: you know, second year and some people are like, well,
Speaker 1: we'll see easy schedule. I get that that's fair kind
Speaker 1: of like with the exactly life Tom Dan Horris like
Speaker 1: feels exactly what the Bengals did against the Rams in
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, right, It's like they kind of came out
Speaker 1: of nowhere losing losing those off of a sudden boom,
Speaker 1: they surprise everybody in the league by making this great
Speaker 1: Super Bowl run and we're literally a blank away, a
Speaker 1: blank away from winning it all. It feels New England's
Speaker 1: doing that right now. Yeah, to an extent. I mean,
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel was a great coach.
Speaker 7: I think a lot of people thought they would have
Speaker 7: success sooner rather than later, especially when you consider the
Speaker 7: amount of money that they spent in free agency to
Speaker 7: rebuild the team, rebuild the coaching staff, brought back Josh
Speaker 7: McDaniels after what Drake May did last year.
Speaker 1: I think people were really high on him. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of that, but I don't know
Speaker 1: that I would say I'm too surprised. Yeah, so we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. I think upfront, obviously, in the trenches,
Speaker 1: if you look at you know, the Patriots got a
Speaker 1: rookie of their tackle that they got banged up, and
Speaker 1: you know, you look at Seattle and just when they've
Speaker 1: done their defense, man, they just roll at you in waves.
Speaker 1: I like watch the Patriots a lot this year because
Speaker 1: the AFC, especially being the easton stuff. I just I
Speaker 1: don't know how they can compete with him on defensively. Offensively, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean Seattle's defense. I think dankl is the best
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. And what's especially interesting about
Speaker 1: them and why I think it'll be hard on Drake
Speaker 1: May is their propensity to blitz with the secondary. There's
Speaker 1: a young safety, a rookie safety by the name of
Speaker 1: nick Emon Warri. Now he injured his ankle earlier in practice,
Speaker 1: but he says he's gonna be good to go. He's
Speaker 1: got three sacks this year. As a whole, Seahawks defensive
Speaker 1: backs have six and a half or seven sacks this year. Ye,
Speaker 1: So that tells you they're not afraid to blitz defensive backs.
Speaker 1: They're not afraid to bring guys up at the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. That affects your protections, that affects your play calls,
Speaker 1: that affects what you do on a down and distance,
Speaker 1: like all sorts of trickle down effects. And then okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna show eight guys at the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: We're gonna drop all light of them. We're gonna send
Speaker 1: all eight of them. You never know exactly what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I do think that there is a bit of an
Speaker 1: advantage for the Patriots because of Josh McDaniels and his
Speaker 1: experience in these situations. I mean, Josh has been to
Speaker 1: a lot of Super Bowls.
Speaker 7: He's had you know, Tom Brady there, and he's been
Speaker 7: with Mike Vrabel and like, this is nothing new to him.
Speaker 7: And I think he does a really good job of
Speaker 7: coaching Drake may through here's your answer for this, here's
Speaker 7: your answer for that, Here's what this motion's gonna tell you,
Speaker 7: this is what this formation is gonna show you, and
Speaker 7: giving him some of the answers to settle his brain
Speaker 7: a little bit of the line scrimmage. I think that'll
Speaker 7: be a fun chess match. But I still give the
Speaker 7: advantage to Seattle. Well, you can see they've been blitzing
Speaker 7: a lot in the playoffs too. Well, see if they
Speaker 7: can handle that, don't I don't think.
Speaker 1: I think by the third quarter, you know, when it
Speaker 1: starts to wear down, I think you're going to see
Speaker 1: them going and you know, now make and scramble. It's
Speaker 1: with the best of them, for sure, but you can't
Speaker 1: continue that and be successful in this game.
Speaker 7: I've heard a lot of talk this week about the
Speaker 7: ability for Drake May to run the football being the
Speaker 7: most important part of this game for the Patriots to win,
Speaker 7: and that's true. And if you think back to what
Speaker 7: I just said about those guys, if Drake May running
Speaker 7: the ball becomes an issue, well then if you're Seattle
Speaker 7: all of a sudden, that's one less guy that can blitz.
Speaker 7: That's one less guy that can rush the passer. That's
Speaker 7: one less guy that's back in pass coverage. If you
Speaker 7: have to put a spy on Drake May to try
Speaker 7: to contain him, and that can open some things up
Speaker 7: for the New England offense. So what I'm curious to
Speaker 7: know is early in the game, do the Patriots come
Speaker 7: up with some calls where they know Drake May's gonna
Speaker 7: tuck it and run just to make Seattle respect it,
Speaker 7: to make Seattle think about it sure, and to maybe
Speaker 7: influence their decision making. And that could be something that plays.
Speaker 1: A role later in the game. The Chestaman the number
Speaker 1: one run defense, Number four pass so you know they're
Speaker 1: solid up and down when it comes to their defense,
Speaker 1: How do they play? How the pets do you utilize
Speaker 1: Christian Gonzales. I mean, it's.
Speaker 7: Interesting because you've got Jackson Smith and Jigba, who just
Speaker 7: won Offensive Player of the Year last night. They made
Speaker 7: the mid season trade for Rashid Shaheed, who's been just
Speaker 7: a playmaker and explosive in that offense. You still have
Speaker 7: Cooper Cupp who is a very good receiver, Jake Bobo,
Speaker 7: who I think is a fun prop bet to score
Speaker 7: big play Bobo Christian Christian Gonzales is probably I would assume,
Speaker 7: going to follow Jackson Smith and jig But everywhere he
Speaker 7: goes and here's what's been great about Seattle, They've moved
Speaker 7: him around. He's been in the backfield for almost seven
Speaker 7: percent of his snaps in the postseason. That's a lot
Speaker 7: for a wide receiver. And he's caught a lot of
Speaker 7: passes on those snaps in which he's been in the backfield,
Speaker 7: including a touchdown in the NFC Championship game. So when
Speaker 7: you you have these base rules and assignments for everybody
Speaker 7: on defense, and it can really get thrown into a
Speaker 7: tizzy when the best player on the field is in
Speaker 7: the backfield in Jackson Smith and Jigba. I would assume
Speaker 7: Christian Gonzalez is going to follow him around and try
Speaker 7: to neutralize him the best he can.
Speaker 1: Spreads four and a half. Do you feel that about right?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Seattle's I think Seattle's gonna win by
Speaker 1: ten plus. Yeah. Yeah, I think they easily covered this
Speaker 1: quite honestly, I think that's I think that's underestimating. And
Speaker 1: I really really do forty I was a forty five.
Speaker 1: The uh you know, I don't. I don't know the
Speaker 1: over under. I've not looked at then. I'd look at it.
Speaker 1: I thought I've read that earlier. Today it's like the
Speaker 1: lowest it's been since, lowest points since and maybe in
Speaker 1: ten years.
Speaker 7: I think it'll be a slow start. I think it'll
Speaker 7: be like kind of a slow, boring first quarter. We'll
Speaker 7: pick it up in that middle eight, the four minutes
Speaker 7: going into halftime, the four minutes coming out of halftime,
Speaker 7: and then it'll be up to the defenses at the
Speaker 7: end of the game. But I think I think Seattle
Speaker 7: is just like a Boa constrictor, like once they take
Speaker 7: some points on the and maybe they get you from behind,
Speaker 7: it can really be difficult if.
Speaker 1: They're forty five and a half, by the way told us, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean if they're they're behind, or they're ahead by
Speaker 1: a couple of scores. I think they just go into
Speaker 1: that really conservative, Like you said, just protect the ball,
Speaker 1: protect a score, because it's gonna be tougher in O
Speaker 1: England to score for I'm going to make a mistake,
Speaker 1: which Drake may might. Yeah, the quarterback balls Sam Donald
Speaker 1: and Drake may though, to see which guy blinks. Somebody's
Speaker 1: gonna blink. I would think at this point, right, I
Speaker 1: feel better about Sam Darnold than I do Drake made
Speaker 1: being the guy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm right there with you. It was just the
Speaker 7: experience and the better defense. Now, I do think, and
Speaker 7: I've said, the coaching staff and the experience that those
Speaker 7: guys in New England have of just this is nothing
Speaker 7: new to them, I think can create a sense of
Speaker 7: calm for the rest of those players. But you know,
Speaker 7: if you never played in the Super Bowl before, you're
Speaker 7: sitting there looking around saying, holy crap, this is the
Speaker 7: super Bowl. That's gonna have an effect on human about that.
Speaker 7: So yeah, but all those young players on that New
Speaker 7: England team.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and ius some of us talking head the
Speaker 1: other I forget it was about the uh yeah, well
Speaker 1: New England's been there so many times. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the guy's the coach, the guy's playing it.
Speaker 7: It's like, yeah, that was. It doesn't matter, That's what
Speaker 7: I'm saying. Like everybody there is different. You know, Mike
Speaker 7: Vrabel can become the first coach ever to start a
Speaker 7: Super Bowl and win, and be the head coach of
Speaker 7: a Super Bowl and win for the same franchise. That's
Speaker 7: what I'm saying him, Josh McDaniel, some of those other
Speaker 7: guys that can be there to just kind of settle
Speaker 7: the nerves and get these guys through Super Bowl Week
Speaker 7: and into the game, I think can be important. And
Speaker 7: by the way, Sam Darnold was a backup to Rock
Speaker 7: Perty in the Super Bowl just a couple of years
Speaker 7: ago at the San Francisco forty nine ers, and he
Speaker 7: talked about that a little bit this week, of just
Speaker 7: like being able to tell guys what to expect even
Speaker 7: though he didn't play in the game, all the stuff
Speaker 7: that happens throughout the week and what to expect. I
Speaker 7: think that's that stuff is important for these abnormal weeks.
Speaker 1: Six point thirty is a kickoff. Will have it for
Speaker 1: you here on seven hundred w ALW. Also, where are
Speaker 1: you on Bad Bunny? Do you care?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 7: I don't really care. I think he makes some like
Speaker 7: fun music that is like when you're at the gym
Speaker 7: or if you're going on a run, like it keeps
Speaker 7: you moving.
Speaker 1: Personally. I don't speak Spanish, so I don't really know
Speaker 1: what he's saying. Uh Spanish.
Speaker 7: I don't listen to a lot of his his music.
Speaker 7: But I don't think it's like necessarily bad. No, I
Speaker 7: just think I think he will put on a really
Speaker 7: good show.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know how big the outcry if it's
Speaker 1: just people being extremely loud about how angry they are
Speaker 1: about this and why it's an issue, because you know,
Speaker 1: as I've said all day, you know you're trying to
Speaker 1: peel to a different audience. It's you can't get more
Speaker 1: people in America to watch football. Y're watching it. It's
Speaker 1: completely and utterly saturated. Other than you go after young people,
Speaker 1: which they do with flag football and women's sports and
Speaker 1: things like that, breaking out us like Bad Bunny. But
Speaker 1: the expansion is to Latin America. You got Europe, you
Speaker 1: got Latin America. And you know you have a guy
Speaker 1: who just won Best Element Grammys. Yeah, one of the
Speaker 1: most downloaded guy on on on streaming. And though that
Speaker 1: makes sense with the NFL, if you want to expand
Speaker 1: that brand, that's what's about. Is about increasing market share.
Speaker 1: You're going to do that in America by having you know,
Speaker 1: Aerosmith on.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I think just because you may not know who somebody
Speaker 7: is doesn't mean that they make bad music.
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's political statements he's made against the Ice.
Speaker 1: But I get I get that. Becaueah, It's like, I
Speaker 1: don't really care.
Speaker 7: It's fine that there have been a lot of artists
Speaker 7: that have made political statements over the years.
Speaker 1: It's pretty common. I mean, Bruce Springsteen just released a
Speaker 1: new song like it's how kid Rock is somebody who's
Speaker 1: made a lot of political statements in the bad Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like it's it's not abnormal, it's it's pretty common. But
Speaker 1: opportunities to do that all the time. You don't go
Speaker 1: watch the kid rock thing or watch the puppy bawl.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's the other thing. That's the other thing.
Speaker 7: I don't know if people realize this, but the Super
Speaker 7: Bowl halftime, you don't have to watch it, correct, Like,
Speaker 7: if you're not interested in Bad Bunny, think about this.
Speaker 7: You get an extended halftime. You can go digest everything
Speaker 7: that happened in the first half in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: I don't yes, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: You can go refill your snacks, you can go get
Speaker 7: an extra beer, you can go do whatever it is
Speaker 7: you need to do. Maybe get a little work done
Speaker 7: on Monday, so you go in late and sleep and
Speaker 7: you do it.
Speaker 1: You got the extra time. You don't have to watch, right,
Speaker 1: I used to have. You know, Okay, I don't like
Speaker 1: Okay this song is said. Okay, that's when I go
Speaker 1: bow out, get another plate full of drink, go to
Speaker 1: the bathroom. Yeah, that's what. That's what.
Speaker 7: It is, not a prerequisite to watching the game to
Speaker 7: have to watch the halftime show. But everyone people love
Speaker 7: to complain. That's what it is. Everywe so polarized. People
Speaker 7: just will be pissed off for no reason whatsoever. It's like,
Speaker 7: you know, don't watch it, and just a reminder. And
Speaker 7: this goes beyond bad Bunny. Just because you don't know
Speaker 7: who someone is, doesn't mean that they make bad music.
Speaker 1: Downloaded artists.
Speaker 7: So clearly people in and around this radio station who
Speaker 7: don't know and have never heard of the most popular
Speaker 7: artists in America, so they assume that their music is bad.
Speaker 1: No, but he probably qualifies today with Tony. You're talking
Speaker 1: about t Pike. Tony Pike today at noon on ESPN
Speaker 1: fifteen thirty and one of those two guys anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't I know, like one of the songs, but like,
Speaker 1: I don't really care. Yeah, No one's forcing you to care.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 7: I also don't care about Bad Bunny's political beliefs. I
Speaker 7: don't just like I don't care about Scott Sloan's political wife.
Speaker 7: I don't care about Dave Keaton's political beliefs do. I
Speaker 7: just don't care? You know what I care about? Hitting
Speaker 7: the News seven hundred.
Speaker 1: WLW Friday Morning, Scott's Loan Show, seven hundred WLW. New
Speaker 1: polling coming out showing you about two thirds of Americans
Speaker 1: think that Congress did the wrong thing by not extending
Speaker 1: the Obama Care subsidies at the end of the year
Speaker 1: last year. And so to counter that, President Trump is
Speaker 1: rolling out his Trump Our ex website At the same time,
Speaker 1: Congress is still hammering out trying to figure out what
Speaker 1: the rest of their health healthcare plan will look like,
Speaker 1: if at all, and if it solves the problems, because
Speaker 1: it's got to be better than the Affordable Care Act otherwise,
Speaker 1: what's the point of this whole thing. Joining the show
Speaker 1: is Dean Clancy of Americans for Prosperity and let's get
Speaker 1: a lay of the land and rehash what the Republicans
Speaker 1: are talking about where things stand right now. Dean, welcome back.
Speaker 1: How are you.
Speaker 2: I'm doing great? Thanks.
Speaker 1: We can all agree that our healthcare system sucks. I
Speaker 1: believe when you put it in this you put it
Speaker 1: to me, the end product is it's just it's simply
Speaker 1: not good. And we've talked about this in the past.
Speaker 1: And you know, the idea that subsidies are a great alternative,
Speaker 1: I think it's more of a band aid patch. Why
Speaker 1: can't moderates get this done? And what's the resistance from
Speaker 1: the other side of the party here.
Speaker 8: Well, this whole issue of the expiring extra Obamacare or subsidies,
Speaker 8: which has been you know, at the top of the
Speaker 8: news now for months, has been driven by Democrats and
Speaker 8: the press and looks on the left who smell an
Speaker 8: opportunity to put Republicans on the defensive and twenty twenty
Speaker 8: and basically blame the high cost of healthcare on the GOP,
Speaker 8: which is a pretty amazing thing to try to do,
Speaker 8: since the high cost is really due to Obama Care,
Speaker 8: which is a completely Democratic Party creation. Modern Republicans who
Speaker 8: wanted to extend the subsidies.
Speaker 2: Were never able to.
Speaker 8: Solve some of the very simple practical problems, like how
Speaker 8: do you extend the subsidies without extending all the fraud
Speaker 8: and waste, the fake Social Security numbers, the phantom and rollees,
Speaker 8: and all the problems that the extra subsidies fueled. I
Speaker 8: think they realized they needed to do something, and they
Speaker 8: put some token reforms in. They also never dealt with
Speaker 8: the fact that the pro life community has said, well,
Speaker 8: any extension has to add protections so that there's no
Speaker 8: taxpayer funding of abortion in this plan. Republicans basically just
Speaker 8: ignored that, which that makes the bill a non starter
Speaker 8: in Congress with all the pro life members. And then
Speaker 8: you have a Speaker Johnson saying sure, I'll let the
Speaker 8: House vote on an extension, but you do need to
Speaker 8: pay for it, you need to offset the cost, and
Speaker 8: moderate Republicans said, no, no, no, no, we just want
Speaker 8: to extend the subsidies. We don't want to pay for it.
Speaker 8: We'll Uncle Sam's credit card. So they weren't serious in
Speaker 8: a sense. They were played by the Democrats who have
Speaker 8: disingenuously pretended that they want to continue the subsidies and
Speaker 8: prevent what they describe. I think they exaggerate as some
Speaker 8: kind of premium.
Speaker 2: Increase of pos. They want an issue.
Speaker 8: They want to blame the failures of Obamacare on the Republican.
Speaker 1: Party and on that, and we've talked about this in
Speaker 1: the past. The fact of matter is you're just you know,
Speaker 1: it's a subsidy, fast is what it is. And if
Speaker 1: you subsidize anything, you're just covering up the true cost.
Speaker 1: You're giving people a coupon a voucher basically, which ingratiates
Speaker 1: them with government and elected officials. Obviously, so politicians on
Speaker 1: the left get reelect and elected for that. But it
Speaker 1: doesn't solve the main issue, which is why is healthcare
Speaker 1: so afford unaffordable in the first place for most people?
Speaker 1: And that number is growing now. I did see some
Speaker 1: surveys it said if you have private health care insurance,
Speaker 1: which is the bulk of America. You seem to be
Speaker 1: pretty happy with that. But the problem there and then
Speaker 1: lies is the diminishing number of companies offering healthcare. I mean,
Speaker 1: at some point the scale's going to tip the other way.
Speaker 8: What then, Well, you're absolutely right about that. The number
Speaker 8: of companies employers offering healthcare has been shrinking under Obamacare.
Speaker 8: It's been very gradual, more so recently. And actually the
Speaker 8: Paragon Health Institute put out a paper recently where they
Speaker 8: noted that if the subsidies are extended, the extra COVID
Speaker 8: era money, it will actually accenterate the decline in small
Speaker 8: businesses offering insurance to their employees. Small businesses are really
Speaker 8: really hurt.
Speaker 2: By the high cost of healthcare.
Speaker 8: They find it hard to offer, you know, coverage to
Speaker 8: their employees. And and you know, Obamacare has become so
Speaker 8: much more generous than the federal subsidy for workplace coverage
Speaker 8: that it's like the employee for these employers, that's it's
Speaker 8: a real easy call. They'll just stop offering health address
Speaker 8: to their employees right.
Speaker 1: Right, which undermines the whole system. Like Obamacare is like
Speaker 1: the idea was, Hey, we get enough young people to
Speaker 1: pay for the older people who use care more then
Speaker 1: that that's fine, But so many young people because of
Speaker 1: because the economy, look at it, go, well, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm perfectly healthy. I'm not going to subscribe to this.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pay into a system that I
Speaker 1: may not have to take benefits out for some time
Speaker 1: if ever. That's all well and good, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: keep the system afloat. And so it's a Ponzi scheme,
Speaker 1: is what it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8: For Democrats, it's all about the ultimate goal of putting
Speaker 8: the government completely in charge of our healthcare. And you know,
Speaker 8: so they they like to cause crises and then exploit
Speaker 8: the crises, and in some ways that's what they're doing now.
Speaker 8: Now on the you know, on the bright side, the Republicans,
Speaker 8: in addition to not buckling to call this pressure to
Speaker 8: in a sense, bail out Obamacare and continue masking its failures,
Speaker 8: the Democrats plan does not reduce health insurance premiums by
Speaker 8: a penny. Expanding Obamacare, bailing it out, does not reduce
Speaker 8: the cost of healthcare, just masks it. And you know,
Speaker 8: there's some good stuff in the Republican build things like
Speaker 8: association health plans, which you know, enable small businesses to
Speaker 8: group together so they can get large group discount rates,
Speaker 8: and that should lower premiums for those businesses by like
Speaker 8: thirty percent for their employees. There's also a provision in
Speaker 8: the bill that would end some of the inflationary waste
Speaker 8: in the Obamacare system where the insurers are basically incentivized
Speaker 8: to bloat their premiums at taxpayer expense, and that would
Speaker 8: not only save thirty billion dollars over ten years, but
Speaker 8: it would reduce Obamacare premiums generally by eleven percent. Again,
Speaker 8: the Democrat plan doesn't help those people at all, except
Speaker 8: with massive taxpayer.
Speaker 9: Thing.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, do you know, I just saw new
Speaker 1: study numbers here, poll numbers, and they've been pretty consistent
Speaker 1: that independence especially factor into this as well. But something
Speaker 1: right around sixty percent, So six out of ten people
Speaker 1: who are on the ACA think it works fine, that
Speaker 1: they actually like the Obamacare and their healthcare. And overall,
Speaker 1: two thirds of Americans believe Congress did the wrong thing
Speaker 1: by founding to extend the Obama subsidies.
Speaker 8: Well, it's true that look in any health insurance subsidy scheme.
Speaker 8: Most people are probably going to like it because most
Speaker 8: people are healthy most of the time. They don't actually
Speaker 8: have to use the insurance. If it's a bad system
Speaker 8: like one of these socialized medicine systems in Britain and
Speaker 8: Canada and so on, most people say it's great because
Speaker 8: they never have to interact with it. It's only when
Speaker 8: they do that they begin to see the serious claws
Speaker 8: of government run healthcare. But you know you mentioned sixty percent.
Speaker 8: I'll give you a statistics. Sixty percent of the people
Speaker 8: who are on Obamacare, now we'll be able to find
Speaker 8: a plan that costs them less than fifty dollars a month,
Speaker 8: less than two dollars a day. And yet we're told
Speaker 8: this is a premium apocalypse. I think we're going to
Speaker 8: find that the reports of you know, the tsunami, the
Speaker 8: apocalypse were greatly exaggerated.
Speaker 2: Probably hopefully, Probably that will.
Speaker 8: Encourage Republicans to keep trying to reform healthcare and health
Speaker 8: savings accounts. In fact, we got fifty one Senators to
Speaker 8: vote to let people who are on Obamacare take part
Speaker 8: of their subsidy as a deposit to a health savings account,
Speaker 8: so instead of that money going to an insurer, it's
Speaker 8: going to use the patient and you can decide what
Speaker 8: care and doctors you want to buy without insurance company meddling.
Speaker 8: That's the future of American healthcare in our view, with
Speaker 8: Americans for Prosperity fund patients not insures.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's deemed clancy at Americans for Prosperity just getting
Speaker 1: to check up on our healthcare system or deeply broken
Speaker 1: healthcare system two thirds of American things. Congress did the
Speaker 1: wrong thing by failing to extend the Obamacare subsidies, and
Speaker 1: that is just a coupon. I will point out that
Speaker 1: Trump's the Trump Our ex Plan is just like good
Speaker 1: our X. It's a coupon, is what it is. Doesn't
Speaker 1: really solve the Affordability Act itself. And I get it.
Speaker 1: You know, you give people money. Technically it should drive
Speaker 1: down costs because of you know, better competitional Like one
Speaker 1: of the things in there though, is you know, the
Speaker 1: fundy cost share reductions and price transparency. But Trump issued
Speaker 1: an executive order and price transparency what back in twenty
Speaker 1: ninety so six years ago, and those are posting prices,
Speaker 1: but we're not seeing meaningful cost reduction. So if history
Speaker 1: is a indicator of future behavior. Is this really gonna matter, Dean.
Speaker 8: Well, we absolutely need price transparency, especially if we don't.
Speaker 1: But they're not doing it. That's the price, even with
Speaker 1: one's order.
Speaker 8: No, that's right, they're actually you said they're complying, but
Speaker 8: really they're they're not. They're they're putting out garbled information,
Speaker 8: they're hiding it on their websites. They're making it so
Speaker 8: you can't compare.
Speaker 2: With their competitors.
Speaker 8: The Trump's hospital price transparency mandate really has not worked.
Speaker 8: And this confirmed something that we had afp of long belief,
Speaker 8: which is you don't get price transparency through government mandates.
Speaker 8: You get it from markets, and markets happen when the
Speaker 8: consumer controls the dollars, just like in the gas station
Speaker 8: or the transparent prices there. Why, because everybody's walking in
Speaker 8: caring cash, they demand to see the prices. That's how
Speaker 8: you'll get it in healthcare too, And that's why we
Speaker 8: want everyone to have a health savings account and to
Speaker 8: be able to have insurance free options or options that
Speaker 8: are supplemental to insurance where you don't have some third
Speaker 8: party paying the bill.
Speaker 2: You pay the bill.
Speaker 8: And when that happens, prices become transparent, naturally.
Speaker 1: Right, But still the problem, of course is health care affordability.
Speaker 1: This may drive some of the costs down. I mean,
Speaker 1: we just talked about Trump's order price transparency, which is
Speaker 1: not working. I'll hold my breath and see if this
Speaker 1: plan actually lowers prices. In theory it may. But what
Speaker 1: do you tell someone who's losing or lost their health
Speaker 1: care because the funding has expired. I get why subsidies exist,
Speaker 1: and I hate them as much as you do. But
Speaker 1: for someone who otherwise can't afford health insurance and you
Speaker 1: look at it, going, well, they're going to take this
Speaker 1: away from me, where do you go? What do you do?
Speaker 1: It's not about giving you your dollars back in a
Speaker 1: life because so many people are making choice these days
Speaker 1: and going I just simply can't afford healthcare, or you're younger,
Speaker 1: which is the big problem with Obamacare, and I'm not
Speaker 1: going to pay into the system at all. If I
Speaker 1: get really, really sick, I'll go to the hospital and
Speaker 1: I have to treat me. They have no choice. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are seeing that as the
Speaker 1: nuclear option, so to speak. Doesn't that undermine the whole system?
Speaker 2: It does?
Speaker 8: And you've put your finger on the real question, which
Speaker 8: is healthcare affordability. The folks who are going to be
Speaker 8: receiving smaller.
Speaker 2: Subsidies, by the way, it's still going to be very generous.
Speaker 8: Obamacare is still going to cover like eighty percent of
Speaker 8: the cost of your health insurance policy, which is a
Speaker 8: pretty nice deal. But for those who are negatively affected,
Speaker 8: some of you know, they have options. For example, some
Speaker 8: can just switch to a less costly insurance plan. You know,
Speaker 8: you have a menu of plans you can choose from.
Speaker 8: Maybe you downgrade from with a called silver to bronze,
Speaker 8: and so you still have insurance, but it costs you less.
Speaker 8: Number of the people that are affected actually have access
Speaker 8: to workplace insurance, either directly or through a spouse. And
Speaker 8: there are even some who are eligible and sometimes even
Speaker 8: enrolled on Medicaid, the program for low income of folks.
Speaker 8: That's not technically not lawful. You're not supposed to be
Speaker 8: on both Obamacare and Medicaid simultaneously, but it turns out
Speaker 8: there are millions of people who are because the government
Speaker 8: does not police it well. The real hard cases are
Speaker 8: going to be the folks who make more than about
Speaker 8: for an individual, about sixty thousand dollars a year. That's
Speaker 8: the anecdotes you're going to see in the headlines because
Speaker 8: some of them are going to see a really big
Speaker 8: increase in out of pocket why because they're going to
Speaker 8: lose their subsidy altogether. These are folks that Democrats, you know,
Speaker 8: four years ago, thought shouldn't get any subsidy at all.
Speaker 8: But they're going to be the sob stories. But those
Speaker 8: people represent just one half of one percent of the
Speaker 8: US population. I do think they are going to need
Speaker 8: some kind of help, But expanding Obamacare is not.
Speaker 2: The way to do it.
Speaker 8: Better to do the things like Republicans are proposing to
Speaker 8: bring actually bring down the price of health insurance for everybody,
Speaker 8: not just the seven percent of Americans who are on Obamacare,
Speaker 8: but for the ninety three percent as well.
Speaker 2: Who are not on Obamacare.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I put it in context too. You did
Speaker 1: have everyone run around their hair and fire streaming that
Speaker 1: the world's going to end, And here we are, well
Speaker 1: over a month in a new year. We're not hearing
Speaker 1: a lot of that anyway. Doesn't take it with a
Speaker 1: sting of this, But you know, it's just more subsidy.

Speaker 1: details of this are today, by the way, and President
Speaker 1: Trump rolling out the Trump our ex website, which to
Speaker 1: me looks like good our X, which is can get
Speaker 1: for free anyway. I don't know if the savings are
Speaker 1: better than what's available now if you ask for the discount,
Speaker 1: but I'm seeing some prices that look jaw droppingly good.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: the same plan or not. We'll find out. But if
Speaker 1: it's more subsidy, it's just more the same thing, I guess. Anyway,
Speaker 1: he is Dean Clancy, and Dean, we'll have you back

Speaker 1: let's go.
Speaker 9: You were a boy scout right, yeah, super Bowl is here. Okay,
Speaker 9: I have a gift for you. Yeah, okay, so there's
Speaker 9: a box sitting right next to you. Now obviously your
Speaker 9: teams are not in the super Bowl.
Speaker 11: My team is in.
Speaker 10: One of my teams is in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: So a patriotsman, yeah, all my family's ne A Island.
Speaker 1: I gotta do with New England.
Speaker 10: I was raised a Patriots What what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: What does Rhode Island have to do with?
Speaker 9: My entire family takes up Rhode Island. Yeah, I was
Speaker 9: raised a Patriots fan my entire life. And then of
Speaker 9: course you adopt the Bengals because I grew up here
Speaker 9: as well. But for you, you are a Bill's Bengals fan,
Speaker 9: and you've had a heart so I got you something.
Speaker 1: It looks like shoe. It's maybe just be one show.
Speaker 1: What are you doing? It's a way where does it
Speaker 1: come out? The box opens, there's a whole thing.
Speaker 10: What are you doing?
Speaker 1: I don't know what.
Speaker 10: Because when you open it, you know.
Speaker 1: This, you know those dumb and you open it anyway,
Speaker 1: the stupid bulk mail and it comes you got to
Speaker 1: tear the ends off it. And then it's like all
Speaker 1: these everyporated things like it's a pain of the ass.
Speaker 10: Right, that's the worst part of your when you get
Speaker 10: a W two. So he's opened the box.
Speaker 1: Phenomenal. Here, get a picture and put it on your
Speaker 1: so to do you want to describe it?
Speaker 9: It almost, yes, it is a morphed logo. Probably the
Speaker 9: NFL could go after us of Buffalo Bengals. So it's
Speaker 9: the Buffalo Bill's logo combined colors with the Bengals and
Speaker 9: the colors that's actually.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: It almost looks like a b that's phenomenal. So it's
Speaker 1: a red, white and blue, but it's got the Bengals
Speaker 1: face logo, but it's got the red stripe of the
Speaker 1: Bills and anyway, get a shot of that.
Speaker 11: There we go, say cheese geez, sorry, where you get
Speaker 11: that You're so welcome? So my friend ended up getting that.
Speaker 9: You might recall Miranda McGee, who works with American Legacy
Speaker 9: Tours Australia.
Speaker 10: She is the same way.
Speaker 9: She likes the Buffalo Bills a lot, and she is
Speaker 9: a diehard Bengals fan, but she has basically just owned
Speaker 9: the Bengals.
Speaker 10: She's very confused. And then my friend found this, came
Speaker 10: up with the idea and I.
Speaker 2: Love you got it?
Speaker 3: I need one.
Speaker 1: I got to thank you so much. I love I
Speaker 1: want to wear that all the time. Yay, okay, good
Speaker 1: wear that here? And I want to go to Bill's games.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wear that there. Yes, use to say for
Speaker 1: when the Bengals play the Bills every couple of years, like,
Speaker 1: oh it's a Buffalo what what now?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 9: I need to make the Patriots and Bengals. Yeah, that's
Speaker 9: so you have those two. Okay, more for those, thank
Speaker 9: you so much, You're so welcome, awesome shirt. Where will
Speaker 9: you be celebrating the Super Bowl in my house.
Speaker 10: With the dogs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't wait for bad Bunny me too. I'm
Speaker 1: kidding what I don't know? I think I know, like
Speaker 1: one of the songs.
Speaker 9: Really I'm excited for because I'm just excited for all
Speaker 9: the hype and the drama around.
Speaker 1: I don't get people are so pissed off. It's like
Speaker 1: all of the top TV shows, ninety of the top
Speaker 1: one hundred TV shows are NFL football games. You can't
Speaker 1: get any more people on the NFL bendwing in America
Speaker 1: than you're ready to do. So if you want to
Speaker 1: grow the business, where do you go other countries?
Speaker 10: But also, he is a top artist.
Speaker 1: It's a perfect pick for that. The fact I expanded
Speaker 1: Latin America. It makes sense. I get it's marketing and.
Speaker 9: He's just to lean into it and ask and I
Speaker 9: like his music, and I'm sorry he's for those who
Speaker 9: aren't fully aware. Yes he's from Puerto Rico, which is
Speaker 9: a part of America.
Speaker 1: Well, I think they're more like people pissed about the
Speaker 1: ice comments and things like that. But okay, then have Springsteen.
Speaker 1: He's gonna do the same thing.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, and then you have Green Day and Green Day.
Speaker 1: Really artists tend to be more liberal and progressive than
Speaker 1: that's always the way it's been. Well, and then of
Speaker 1: course there are artists, and then people listen to what
Speaker 1: their comments are nobody cares. Just play the song.
Speaker 10: What's the other? What's the other show? Who's in it?
Speaker 10: I don't even know the artist that there's gonna be
Speaker 10: a sign.
Speaker 1: It, just like every other one of these, like when
Speaker 1: Fox Now does a concert, like when Willy goes to
Speaker 1: a concert, it's kid Rock and Lee Greenwood and like,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 10: Whatever, Respectfully, we don't have to always make it.
Speaker 1: About out of that. Just go watch then watch that,
Speaker 1: Go watch the puppy bowl. I don't care. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna be doing. Gonna go poop pee and
Speaker 1: get more food. That's what I do. At halftime, just
Speaker 1: like your dog. I've gotta go out because my coat on,
Speaker 1: go outside near the mailbox.
Speaker 9: All right, there's beer in his bowl. Well, so you're
Speaker 9: gonna be at home. I will also be at my neighbors.
Speaker 9: But what's great about it is who knows. I'll probably
Speaker 9: be partying with fifteen different people, some of the people
Speaker 9: that I randomly met at bar, which is going to
Speaker 9: be our restaurant spotlight of the day. Shout out to
Speaker 9: Alex and TJ, our new party source friends. They listen
Speaker 9: to you guys, and yeah, so that means the beef bar.
Speaker 9: It does mean the beef bar. Now have you been
Speaker 9: to the bar.
Speaker 1: We were actually gonna go and something bad came up.
Speaker 1: I think I recall something bad. I can't murder it was,
Speaker 1: and then we had to cancel. But I do want
Speaker 1: to go. Okay, well, it's really good.
Speaker 9: If I can make a recommendation, definitely book your reservation
Speaker 9: out a week in advance and I'll get to it
Speaker 9: as to why they're on open tables. So ABUF it's
Speaker 9: one of genre Beert's stable spots, and really it's the
Speaker 9: only spot right now that's still up and running currently.
Speaker 9: The chef is Chef Patrick Bowling and Gen Robert. You
Speaker 9: know he is an iconic French chef who had created
Speaker 9: restaurants from the Masonette Two Pigals to j R's Table
Speaker 9: l French Crest.
Speaker 1: He is at the top of the Cincinnati food pyramid
Speaker 1: in his past his past, but.
Speaker 9: His legend and his food continues to live on here
Speaker 9: at the Bar of Buff And shout out to my
Speaker 9: neighbor Walter, who he's also holding down, holding down the
Speaker 9: fort there. But what they are known for is they
Speaker 9: have a legendary beef Wellington And why I say book
Speaker 9: and advance. You actually need to book an advance and
Speaker 9: then you have to call them two to three days
Speaker 9: ahead of time. You need the beef Wellington, but book
Speaker 9: in advance and then call two to three days ahead
Speaker 9: of time to make sure that that you can get
Speaker 9: that dish. It's not always on demand, it is inclurettable.
Speaker 9: It is their special occasion dish. Right your beef tenderloin.
Speaker 1: Raft it's just perfect. Make Oh it's so good.
Speaker 9: And right now they're also doing a muscles special, and
Speaker 9: I'm like, I like muscles, I like oysters.
Speaker 10: I'm usually this muscles special.
Speaker 9: Whatever the sauce that it comes in, it's a little spicy,
Speaker 9: but not too spicy, and it comes with a bed
Speaker 9: of fries under it, and then you get a sight
Speaker 9: of bread and you're just mixing.
Speaker 10: Heavenly heavenly s cargo.
Speaker 4: So good.
Speaker 9: They have a beef part, beef tartar, the to fey
Speaker 9: and their duck. The list goes on.
Speaker 10: It is so so good.
Speaker 9: And as a bourbon drinker and a whiskey drinker, j R.
Speaker 9: Has a special poor that he collaborated with brain Broom.
Speaker 1: And they still have it.
Speaker 9: So they have different cocktails and different pores there which
Speaker 9: are different in front of and you never know who
Speaker 9: you're gonna be.
Speaker 10: Friends they're going to.
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to get and I was never
Speaker 1: really a big fan of it until I mean I
Speaker 1: watched Borderin and stuff like that. But years ago we
Speaker 1: went to wound up like in Paris for a couple
Speaker 1: of days on a trip to England and went with
Speaker 1: our friends there and it was like, Paris is nice
Speaker 1: and everything, it's fine, but the food is incredibles. It's everything.
Speaker 9: It's that they say that, Yeah, it's a little different,
Speaker 9: and I think I might have glossed over it. This
Speaker 9: is at the at the bottom of Edgecliff, So it's
Speaker 9: a condo apartment complex in Walnut Hills epamment area. But
Speaker 9: it also has panoramic views of the city, so they
Speaker 9: try to bring as much of that authentic French flare.
Speaker 9: It's a little eclectic. It is white tablecloth, but it's
Speaker 9: not stuffy white table that makes sense. Yeah, And there's
Speaker 9: a lot of fun artwork on the wall and a
Speaker 9: lot of JR. Photos of j R and and memorabilia
Speaker 9: for him.
Speaker 1: So cozy. It got to be very I.

Speaker 9: At this point they've raised Since twenty ten, they've raised
Speaker 9: twenty five point seven million dollars. And yeah, every year

Speaker 1: Where do the protesters stand?
Speaker 10: Where to the protester?
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. I have no idea because you know,
Speaker 1: adults running around in their underwear, there's children around. It
Speaker 1: could be a dragon show. I like, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 10: You know, I'm going to leave that up to the spectators.
Speaker 1: We're protesting bad money. It's like, okay, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: somebody would be angry that you can't do that. What
Speaker 1: if there's kids watching.
Speaker 9: The beautiful part of this is it's not even a
Speaker 9: full mile. Let's go so good luck and that's happening

Speaker 1: attractive if he has a yacht, because that's there's level
Speaker 1: money too. It okay, there's level.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna I might judge you a little bit more.
Speaker 9: But if I get invited on the boat, all right,

Speaker 1: you do around the like a wine glass to make
Speaker 1: that sound.
Speaker 10: Then you get like the rain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you lay there and what happens.
Speaker 10: And you just immerse yourself in the sound.
Speaker 1: Oh god, it sounds awful. No, it's no, it's not
Speaker 1: because I'd be thinking, this is why I don't do yoga,
Speaker 1: because I don't like myself to hang around my own
Speaker 1: thoughts that long. I want to kill myself. The point is,
Speaker 1: I'd be thinking about everything I gotta do with that.

Speaker 10: Are you against it?
Speaker 1: Because I just because I would? Literally I would.
Speaker 4: No, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I know my limitations, and sitting there thinking by myself
Speaker 1: is way way, way way back.
Speaker 10: I bet you would enjoy.
Speaker 9: I almost just gets immersed in the sounds and in
Speaker 9: the vibrations.
Speaker 10: It almost forces you.
Speaker 1: I don't like what's happened with her since she left.
Speaker 1: What she's become.
Speaker 10: She's painting, she's doing sound baths.
Speaker 3: You know what.
