WEBVTT - 2-6-26 Scott Sloan Show 0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:06.560 Scott Sloan show back Friday morning seven hundred Wow, not 0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:08.720 just any Friday morning. We lead off and will not 0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:11.200 bury the lead this morning the big store, of course, 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:14.440 super Bowl sixty coming up Levi Stadium in San Francisco 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:17.759 six thirty. By the way, on Sunday, the pregame started 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:21.040 I think three weeks ago, if not mistaken, Seattle and 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:23.640 the Patriots in a rematch from well over a decade ago. 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.720 Patriots won that one on a I believe it was 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.200 the Malcolm Butler interception game is what that was. And 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:32.680 this time around Seattle favored by four and a half points, 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.760 and the total by day total points lois total since 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.960 twenty fifteen set at forty five and a half on 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:41.680 this and more is the living legend himself, the voice 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.400 of your Bengals. That would be our good friend Dan Horde, 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:49.680 Dan welcome, how are you? Everything is well here in Cincinnati, 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:51.760 Ohio where I am. I don't know what sunny climbs 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:53.400 you're in right now. Probably still you're on a beat 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:54.520 somewhere with a my tie. 0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.440 You just cut out there. I didn't hear it. 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.520 Sorry, I'm sorry about that. I said, you're probably on 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.160 a beach somewhere with a my tie. 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:08.560 Right, I wish. Unfortunately that is not the case. You know, 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.360 we both have Upstate New York in our background, having 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.960 lived in the Buffalo area. When I moved to Cincinnati, 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.479 I thought I was moving through a tropical paradise, and 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.320 more often than not, the weather here is quite mild. 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.160 But this winter winter is kicking my tail. Unlike you, 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.000 I do not enjoy shoveling. 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.319 I don't mind it. I got the snowblower that broke, 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.000 and I'm working with broken. So I'm thinking about getting 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:32.880 a plow for my truck because I got a couple 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:34.399 of properties. I got to take care of them. Like, 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:36.200 maybe I get a ply She think I should want a. 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.880 Plow, Dan, I think you should get a plow, and 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:40.880 I will give you my address. I've got a big 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:44.440 day and I appreciate if you would make regular visits. 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.319 I mean, my wife told me, she said, you know, 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:49.760 I tell her about it. I'm like, I'm doing the math. 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:51.520 I'm like yeah, I'm like, for you know, a couple 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.080 two three years pay for itself. And she's like, I 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.880 know you You're gonna go plow everybody's driveway. Your plow 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:58.600 ours and you'll go do all your friends, will do 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.000 all the neighbors, and you're not. It's not going to 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:02.800 pay for itself. You're going to wear it out because 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.040 you like doing this stuff, because you're stupid. I said, 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.920 you know what, that is the best analysis I think 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:08.880 you've ever offered me in the last year. That she's 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:09.639 spot on too. 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.320 I do everybody so her she's very wise. However, what 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:17.240 she didn't say is that all of those friends whose 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.040 driveways you are about to shovel when you get this 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.000 plow are going to love you even more than they 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.320 already do. And what's more important than. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.800 That that's true? Well, I mean I get certainly I 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:29.960 abuse them, and so the karma comes back and I'll 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:31.919 have all all evens out even I'll never have to 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.440 buy a drink again for the rest of the year. 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.079 It'll be fantastic. Let's get in the super Bowl. The 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:37.960 biggest star of the Super Bowl, Dan of course is 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.640 and I'm sure people are hanging on this your take 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:42.080 on the Bad Bunny halftime show. 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.840 I have no problem with Bad Bunny performing, and I 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.880 don't understand why this is a controversy. Right, he is 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.080 a huge international star. I don't care that he apparently 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.440 sings some of his songs in Spanish. I mean, I'd 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.320 never really listened to Bad Bunny. But why is this 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.240 such a big deal. I mean, the NFL has been 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:05.200 trying to pick popular acts for at least the last 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.400 ten years or so. Prior to that, I think they 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.160 went for the old time legends. But they're trying to 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.560 appeal to a younger audience by picking acts that you know, 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:17.120 younger folks listen to. Now clearly they're listening to Bad Bunny. 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.440 Why is that a controversy? It actually kind of annoys me. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.639 Yeah, I'm with you on it. I mean, I think 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.280 I know one of his songs. I can't say I'm 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.280 a huge Bad Bunny fan that I'll go and download 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.760 his music because of this. I won't. But it's fifteen 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:31.600 minutes and it's time for me to go to the 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.919 bathroom anyway, because I'm watching the games and commercials. You 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:35.360 can't take a break. The only time I could take 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.360 a break is halftime. I got to go my blatters 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.480 full and I'm old. If you look at the TV ratings, 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.760 which are still a thing, NFL is still in the 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.080 top one hundred, like most of the top one hundred 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:49.680 shows are NFL football games. Yeah, yeah, the top ninety, 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.920 the top one hundred, right, And you can't get any 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.560 more saturated. You cannot get any more market share in 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.960 the United States than you already are with the NFL. 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.400 So the only way to expand and make more money 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.960 is to go intional to Latin America. And so you 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.480 put bad Baby on, who's a Grammy winner, who also 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.640 is the most streamed artist. It's a slam dug. It's 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.000 not about you know, old white people in America watching 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.480 football anymore. It's about women, it's about young people. It's 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.320 about emerging markets. That's why they're doing this. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:18.559 You know, Bad Bunny is hosted Saturday Night Live. That's 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.520 my only exposure to Bad Bunny, and he was funny. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.080 He was good on Saturday Night Live. So, like you, 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.039 I don't know how closely I'll be watching the halftime show. 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.200 That's a great opportunity to head to the kitchen and 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.200 store up on another round of unhealthy food, which is 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.280 what I do best during the Super Bowl. But I'm 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.880 sure I'll catch some of it, and who knows, maybe 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:41.760 some of the people that are so offended by the 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.080 fact that he's going to perform at halftime, will come 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.000 around and say, you know what, that guy's. 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.520 Not that bad, or they'll turn around and watch Kid 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.360 Rock and Lee Greenwood or whatever that is, and it's 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.640 an opportunity, you know, or the Puppy Bowl or whatever 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:52.800 the hell it is. I don't know. I'm here to 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.039 watch football and commercials in that order, by the way, 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.159 and probably one of the very few times, Dan, you 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:00.839 get to actually just a I don't watch a football 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.839 game without putting your Bengals hat on. So let's get 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.160 at it. Seattle and New England. I think the big 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.320 question here is Drake May. Which Drake May shows up? 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.360 He has not been good in the playoffs. That's a 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:12.960 huge problem going to this for the Patriots. 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.320 I think that's the big question for both teams, right, 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:20.159 I mean, will Sam Donald turn into a pumpkin? Sam 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.640 Donald actually accounted for more turnovers than any other quarterback 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.240 in the NFL this year during the regular season twenty 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.880 when you add up his interceptions and his bumbles, and 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.640 then Drake May, as you pointed out, has had some 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.479 shaky moments in the postseason. He's fumbled six times in 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.039 the playoffs. So which of those two guys makes a 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.200 couple of big mistakes that hurts their team. I think 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.400 that that ultimately could be the key to the game. 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.559 Well, we saw Donald in the NFC Championship performance against 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:50.000 the Rams, and they're very aggressive in the co And 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.200 you know, I guess the question is does he reverted 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.200 to his second half struggles against New England. Was that 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.120 a one off in the NFC Championship game or was 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.719 he able to maybe turn that worm turned a little 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.160 bit for him? We'll find out. 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.760 Yeah, he was awesome in that game. That might have 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.880 been his best game all year. I'll say this for 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.679 Sam Donald, I've been a skeptic really for two years now. 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.680 He led the Vikings to fourteen wins last year, he 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.080 led Seattle to fourteen wins this year. Now, he had 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.839 the benefit of really good defenses on both of those teams. 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:24.080 But still I think he's the only quarterback other than 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.480 Tom Brady to ever do that. That's pretty impressive. So 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.000 I guess at some point we have to say, you 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.520 know what, maybe that Donald guy is pretty good after all. 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.040 All right, So who's less questionable for you then, Drake 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:35.680 may or Sam Donald. 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.320 I probably still have more doubt about Sam Donald. But 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.479 I still think Seattle will win, just because Seattle is 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:48.200 the better overall team and much more battle tested. The 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:52.400 NFC was vastly superior to the AFC as a conference 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.240 this year, and Seattle was in a division where two 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:59.360 other teams won twelve games. I mean, they made it 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.640 through the NFC West with the Rams and the forty 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.520 nine ers, and at the end of the day, with 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:08.520 the number one seed in the NFC, they went fourteen 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:12.560 and three, and their schedule was much tougher than New England. 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.679 New England's had one of those years where everything seemed 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:17.960 to fall right into their credit. You still got to 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.200 go out and win those games, and they beat good 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:24.600 teams in the playoffs. But Seattle, week after week, it's 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:28.440 facing really good teams and beating them. I find it 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.880 hard to imagine that Seattle's going to lose. The one 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:33.920 thing that kind of creeps into the back of my 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.560 mind is the fact that the underdog is one four 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.600 out of the last five Super Bowls. So strange things 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.960 happen on Super Bowls Sunday. But I still think Seattle's 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:43.440 going to win. 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.360 Yeah, And if you look at like even the last three, well, 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:46.840 how you can go back to like the last five 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.320 years their record is, you know, they're twelve and four 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.600 and twenty twenty nine, couple nine and eighties and ten 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.559 and seven. This season they come out and it feels 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:56.880 like New England. Dan, It was like the Bengals when 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:58.880 we went to the Super Bowl, right, you know, they're 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.400 terrible and all of a sudden, nowhere they just go 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.560 on a heater, they go on a run. And we 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.560 saw the Bengals, as you know, in that Super Bowl 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.280 against the Rams, a blank of an eye. It could 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:12.320 have been a Bengals world championship had had things fall 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.560 into place, because it was literally an eyelash away from 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.800 winning that football game and they didn't. Lost by three. 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.000 But it reminds me the New England team come out 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:20.120 of nowhere, reminds me of the Bengals. 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.440 Yeah, they did basically the exact same thing. The year 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.440 before the Bengals went to the Super Bowl in twenty 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.920 twenty one, they won four games. That was what the 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.760 Patriots did. They've done from four wins to a division 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:35.080 title and an appearance in the Super Bowl. Maybe unlike 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.000 the Bengals, they're able to win one more game and 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.280 add another freaking Super Bowl to the wall in New England. 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:45.640 That doesn't annoy me at all, but we'll see, you know, 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.160 Seattle to me is the better team on both sides 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.800 of the ball, so I'll think they'll win. And part 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.880 of that I think influencing my decision is when the 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:59.280 Bengals played the Patriots this year, New England won, but 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.560 they didn't play very well march down in that game, 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.480 Drake May threw a pick six, they settled for a 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:09.320 bunch of field goals inside the red zone. They won 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.080 because the Bengals couldn't cover tight ends really for the 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.040 entire year. And Hunter Henry Hunter Henry had one hundred 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.560 and fifteen receiving yards in that game. But New England 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:22.400 didn't allow me seeing them, you know, in person, So 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.480 that probably has a big impact on my thought that 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:26.800 they're going to lose the game as well. 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.040 Yeah, that and that spread feels about right to me. 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.000 Dan Horde, voice of the Bengals. Chopping up the Super 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.360 Bowl on Sunday six thirty, We'll have it for you here, 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.560 Super Bowl sixty on seven hundred WLW if you can't 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:40.040 watch it on TV. And the other thing I'm going 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.480 to look up front two is what is Will Campbell 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.040 the rookie, how he holds up against that interior pressure 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.520 Seattle has because the throw stunts at the highest rate 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.679 in the league, and that's gonna be kind of overwhelming. 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.040 That's a whole different ballgame for him. It's interesting because 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.040 adding now, Drake may can certainly scramble for sure, but 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.240 you can't only do that so much before it comes 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.719 back to bite you. We'll see how that that part 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:02.800 of the line holds up for them. 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.720 He's the left tackle. He was helped off the field 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.880 in Cincinnati, got injured in that game. It looked at 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:13.280 the time like it might be season ending. Fortunately for 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.840 the Patriots, Campbell was able to come back and return. 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.520 But since he's been back, he hasn't been very good. 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.280 So we'll see. I agree with you, I think that's 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.040 going to be a key matchup in the game. 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.480 All right on this side of it? Should should New 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.920 England copy what like the Rams tried to do attack 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.839 in Seattle with a lot of those in routes and 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.200 going after the zone really really hard in Typically an 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.720 NFL team will look at that, watch the film and go, uh, 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:39.920 we got to try and figure out if our personnel 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.040 can execute like the Rams because they're pretty close. 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:47.240 Listen to you, listen to you going all collins Worth nowt. 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:51.920 I mean you you can if you watch it right, 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.760 you're like, okay, you just basically it's like anything, if 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:56.760 it works, you try to replicate it and build office. 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:57.520 That's what they're going to do. 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.960 That is correct. Yeah, the Patriots are certainly going to 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.160 look at things that work for the Rams and try 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.280 to incorporate some of them. Now, the Rams have Puka 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:09.800 Nakoa Natua and DeVante Adams and the Patriots don't have 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.400 weapons like that. I think the Patriots are going to 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.959 rely on the running game more than the Rams did 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.920 in the NFC Championship game. But sure, anytime you see 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.800 a team have success, you try to find some of 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.760 those things that apply to your team, you know, when 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.280 you compare the personnel and see if you can use 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:27.680 some of those things to your advantage. 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.280 Yeah, and yeah, we can talking much about well Sam Darnold, 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.000 but Seattle's offense they can beat you a whole bunch 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:33.640 of different ways. 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.480 Kenneth Walker is awesome, the beast. They call him K nine. 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.640 He's a great running back. Now, they were able to 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:43.800 share the load during the course of the season with 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.199 Zach Charboney. He's hurt, he won't play in the Super Bowl, 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.720 so puts more of the load on Walker. But that 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:52.400 might be a good thing. I think he's tremendous. He 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:56.320 might be top two or three in the NFL and 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.000 yards after catch, once you get the ball in his hands, 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.040 he's electric. And that's going to be a real key 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:05.480 for New England in this game because he's the type 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.360 of guy that could easily put up you know, one 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.760 hundred and fifty combined rushing and receiving yards. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.439 Right, what about the special teams factor? Do you think 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.360 that could make a difference in this game? Because you know, 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.400 you think, all right, Sam Darnold, Drake May, you know, 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.520 two guys at not the best quarterbacks in the league, 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.400 certainly not. You know, there was MVP talk for Drake May. 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.679 That's over at this point. Did this come down a 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.920 special teams play or Seattle? Just do you see this 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:29.720 like as a blowout? 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.120 I don't see it as a blowout. Special teams could 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.040 be a factor. The Patriots have a rookie kicker that 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:39.920 could be you know, significant in a Super Bowl. Maybe 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:44.160 the collar gets a little bit tight. We'll see. You know, 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.200 I don't have that circle as like this game is 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:47.920 going to come down to a field goal, but I 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.680 do think it's going to be relatively close, and who knows, 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.040 you know, maybe a rookie kicker in that moment does 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:54.839 not deliver. Yeah. 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.080 I keep thinking back to that the Bengals Super Bowls, like, well, 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:58.840 that was very close to went by field goal for 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.360 crying out loud, and could have been the Bengals ball game. 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.880 If and when we're able to complete a pass there 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.560 with you just need to you just replay it over 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:08.920 in your head, right, you need a quarter more of 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.839 a second and it's a touchdown. But yeah, of course 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:14.120 it feels like the same game. 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.600 It's a really good point because what did that game 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:21.960 ultimately come down to. Yep, the Bengals inability to protect 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.280 Joe Burrow when they had to in the second half. 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:29.360 I mean, Aaron Donald wrecked that game. And the Patriots 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:33.440 offensive line against this great Seattle defense, that's the biggest 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.839 matchup in this game. Seattle is number one in the 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.640 NFL in scoring defense, number one in rushing defense. They're 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.720 really good at getting after the quarterback. Drake May got 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.760 shacked a lot, he'll hold onto the ball, not unusual 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.560 for second year QB. So that's going to be a 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:50.080 huge key on Sunday. 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.160 Yeah, well, we'll see how plays out too. As an 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.480 AFC guy, we're both AFC guys to watch Drake May 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.280 And I'm just curious and I think the strength of 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.400 schedule criticism is valid and Mike put into context their 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.880 playoff offensive struggles. I just want to see, like this 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:06.280 is a good test, and I think next season I 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.000 need a whole nother season to watch Drake made it 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:09.040 to see if he's a real deal. 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.040 Well, he's the eighth quarterback to make the Super Bowl 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.440 in the second year of his career, so that's good. 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:20.120 Companies on the list with Joe Burrow, Tom Brady, Dan Marino, 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.280 Ben Roethlisberger, so his career is obviously off to a 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:27.400 great start. I'm buying Drake May. You know, I think 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:31.240 there's a tremendous draft pick. That quarterback draft is looking 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.960 better and better. Caleb Williams was the first pick. He 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.040 was great for the Bears this year. Jayden Daniels was 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.040 the second pick. He was incredible last year and then 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:41.840 got hurt this year, and then he had Drake may 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.800 come after that. So I think all three of those 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.560 teams are really happy with their choice. And Drake may 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:48.760 is the first of the three to get to a 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:49.200 Super Bowl. 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.560 Yeah, no question. Then there's always guys like I don't know, 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.840 Sam Bradford and Baker Mayfield. So we'll see where he 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:57.560 ends up. I mean, you know he's going to be 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:58.960 in the league for a while, that's for dang sure. 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.640 So Super Bowl Sunday it is sixered. What is a 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.600 food of choice? And don't tell me toast by the way, 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.520 when you're sitting back, kicking back and just watching the 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.240 games of fan, don't hit me while I'm gonna have 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.000 I'm having a toast buffet. 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.520 You know how I love toast. I know you're going 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.680 to be at the grand opening of my Toast restaurant 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.520 the Coast of the Town. I know you're very excited 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:23.720 about that bread bread that's their slogan. On Super Bowl Sunday, 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.640 I will be beginning my day with some toast as 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:30.080 I begin every day. I'm definitely a toast for breakfast 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.680 kind of guy. But you know, when the Super Bowl arrives, 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.720 I gotta have wings. You know, we both have Buffalo 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.400 in our past, in a Buffalo area in our past. 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:47.040 So even though I miss Western New York wings as 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.400 opposed to Cincinnati wings, I like Cincinnati wings, but they 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.120 try to make them too healthy. Here. Everybody's baking their wings, 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.240 you know. I want deep fried, I want a christy edge. 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.960 But in many cases, yes, there will be wings at 0:15:59.000 --> 0:15:59.960 my Super Bowl spread. 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.120 What do you have a spot? Do you mind plugging 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:05.520 like you do? Since he light, I. 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:11.160 Will probably be getting Eli's barbecue wings. I did that 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.320 last year for the Super Bowl and they were excellent, 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.760 so I think that's probably what we're doing good. 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:20.440 Matt. I am a huge, huge Eli's Wings fan. I 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.320 think they're among the best. If you can get to 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.760 the West Side and get to to well to Mike's 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.440 that's a different story, but I would say Eli's is 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.840 definitely definitely up there. Definitely up there. Shooters is okay, 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.680 but I'm an Eli's guy for sure, unless I'm making 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.240 my own. But you can't get the big wings like 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:37.680 you get in a restaurant. That's a hard but all 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.040 like like pigeon wings. I hate that. I need some meat. 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:41.480 I need some meat on I don't have. 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.480 A deep Yeah, I don't have a deep fryer, so 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.480 I don't make my own. And at Eli's they're not 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.520 deepried either, but they're really really good. Oh, Tavern's got 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:53.960 great ones or town. Look, Tavern's got really good one. 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.160 So I've got some good offs all right on the 0:16:56.160 --> 0:17:00.840 east side of town. But I'm leaning Eli's cheese or ranch, 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:06.320 oh blue cheese. A boy, God, yeah, this isn't. 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:12.800 This ain't Cleveland, I insinuating Dan Horde, the voice of 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.399 the Bengals. Always love chatting with my man. Thanks so 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.120 much for jumping on this morning, and uh we'll talk 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:18.680 again soon. 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.399 Don good thanks for having me on you well. 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:25.560 Toast and wings sounds like, sounds awful. Actually together, I 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.840 have the wings. I'll skip the toast. Sloaney Home of 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.560 the best Bengals coverage, Home of the Super Bowl six thirty. 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:32.040 We got the game for you here on seven hundred 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:38.320 WW Cincinnati.

We haven't seen the sun since I don't 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:03.040 know when. Here we've got snow that came down this morning, 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:04.919 had a couple more inches on the ground. It's like 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:06.879 it's like this is like East Coast snow. We have 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.280 piled up in Cincinnati. Most people are over it. I 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:11.840 love a new fall and snow. I don't care how 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:12.600 much it's on the ground. 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.200 Wow, Okay, maybe I'll have to look at it through 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:16.640 your eyes. 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:18.280 That's what I'm That's what I'm doing wrong. 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:20.280 Like I mean, I'm an infant.

He's because he's like 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.240 thirty pounds, but like he's just a pen in the grass. 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.000 You're in the city, so you don't have that problem. 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.960 But he's got a crap in the road now, and 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:51.800 it's like he doesn't.

So 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.920 what happened was I I like, I show him like, okay, 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:56.600 so I'm going to the bathroom outside to show the 0:18:56.600 --> 0:19:00.280 dog it's okay. 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.399 That's commitment. Yeah, you got to respect it. 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.119 Yeah, but neighbors aren't too happy about it because you know, 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:08.520 they look at what is this and I, you know, 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:11.639 the dog's not getting but I got to get the 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:15.920 poop bag for both of us now. So anyway, Bad 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.080 Bunny thumbs up, thumbs down. 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:21.919 Hey, listen, I mean what's exciting about it is like, 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:25.159 you know, there is a lot of you know, question 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:27.080 marks around what this is. 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:27.399 Going to be. 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.080 You know, I think when you have you know, uh, 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:33.199 like a Katy Perry type, you pretty much know what 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.320 you're gonna get. But when it comes to bad Bunny, 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:37.240 this could go in a lot of different directions. If 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:41.159 the Grammys are any indication, you know, he did, you know, 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.840 use that platform to uh make a few political statements. 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.880 So you know, I wouldn't be shocked if that happens 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:52.480 again on this Sunday. But as far as like guest 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.159 performers go, somebody asked yesterday, hey, like, are you going 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:56.600 to have any special guest performers? 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:58.719 And he pretty much smirked and said, why are you asking? 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.960 So I think we can expect some surprise performers to 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:05.840 join him on stage. But who that might be there's there. 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:07.119 It could be anybody. You know. 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.000 Just last week he was seeing, you know, pretty chummy 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.920 chummy with Lady Gaga at the Grammys, so maybe they've 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:13.840 been rehearsing together. 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.520 That's why they have this you know, friendship going on. 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.800 Or you know, he's collaborated in the past with Drake, 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:21.119 he's collaborated with Cardi B. 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:21.960 You know, he. 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:23.000 Performed with Shakira. 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.840 So as to who will pop up with him, that's 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:29.840 that's the real question mark, you know, So it'll be 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:34.160 it'll be a real uh you know, surprise, I think 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:35.880 as to who joins him on stage, But he did 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:37.520 also say he was like, you know, you don't have 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:39.440 to know Spanish to enjoy the halftime show. 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:41.960 All you have to do is be ready to dance. 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:42.239 A little bit. 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.479 So I think it'll be at least a party in 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:46.040 that sense. 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:49.120 Yeah, you know, the controversial because everything's controversial these days. 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.199 You can't do anything without there being controversy is you 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.480 know he's taking a stand against Ice because he's Latin, 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:55.280 so I you know, I get that whole thing. And 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:56.600 the question is, well, why are you having this guy? 0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.560 It's America, We need American urs. No you don't, because, uh, 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:02.320 you know, ninety of the top one hundred shows, as 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.640 Dan Hord pointed out moments ago, our NFL football games, 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.679 it's truly most of them are all the NFL runs 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:11.840 broadcast TV. Basically, you can't get any more fans in 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:14.520 America than you have right now unless you are getting 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:16.760 the next generation, younger fans, which is why they're doing 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:19.880 you know, women's football and flag football are leaning into 0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:22.600 that whole thing. They're also expanding to different countries. They're 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.800 in Europe, they're in Latin America. They want to expand 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:26.400 Latin America. The best way to do this is take 0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:28.439 a guy who just want to grammy and has the 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:32.879 most downloads ever on Spotify, and you put him in 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.080 the Super Bowl halftime show, and now those people are 0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:36.800 going to probably watch kind of like with the reason 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:38.800 why they show a lot of Taylor Swifter in case 0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:42.680 he games because now Swifties are involved in football you're 0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:44.960 growing your audience. That's how it works. That's what this 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:47.560 is about. It's about nothing else. Political statement. He may 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:49.680 make them, you may disagree with it, So go watch 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:50.880 Kid Rock or the Puppy Bowl. 0:21:50.880 --> 0:21:53.720 That's fine, exactly exactly. 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:57.040 It's fresh eyes on a sport that you know. Otherwise 0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:57.800 these people may. 0:21:57.640 --> 0:21:58.240 Not be watching. 0:21:58.359 --> 0:21:58.600 Yeah. 0:21:58.600 --> 0:21:59.920 If you just say, well, we should only have a 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.680 American artists, well then how do you grow internationally? Because 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:04.640 clearly that's then you should be offended when they play 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:07.920 games in Europe or you know, Latin America or wherever 0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:10.280 else they're gonna wind up space. It's about market share 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:13.200 and it's fully saturated. You have to go back to it. 0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:15.320 Quit watching football. They'll have to do they'll have to 0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:18.479 work hard to regain American eyeball. So nonetheless, that's how 0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:21.840 it works. It's all about selling stuff. Okay, so commercial stuff. 0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:23.800 You got any previews or is that out of your writer? 0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:26.879 I mean there's some stuff that you know as a 0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:29.720 movie fan, I'm excited for. You know, yourgo's Lanthemost who 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:33.240 directed Four Things with Emastone and. 0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:34.800 Directed Bougonia with Emmastone. 0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:38.159 He directed a commercial that she is starring it, So 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:40.280 it's gonna be like a mini movie, you know. 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:40.840 Uh. 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:43.160 THROUGHOUTE. We've also got Sabrina. 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:48.480 Carpenter doing something with Pringles. You know, it's the Benson 0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:53.520 Boone and Ben Stiller commercial for Instacart. You know, it's 0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:56.840 pretty funny. So yeah, you know, it's it's always a fun, 0:22:57.240 --> 0:23:00.439 fun opportunity to see these stars do so thing a 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:02.600 little less, take themselves less. 0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:03.760 Seriously, I think. 0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:05.720 Yeah, there's uh, and then you know the teasers, and 0:23:06.280 --> 0:23:08.879 this year there's like more super Bowl teasers than anything 0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:11.119 else because I'll give you a little lead, Like, you know, 0:23:11.160 --> 0:23:13.480 Dann McBride does something and it's like, Okay, I don't 0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:15.720 know what this is about. There's an Eli Lilly commercial 0:23:15.920 --> 0:23:18.600 with a obese man, and I think that's a lead 0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:20.359 in for what's going to happen on Super bowls. So 0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:23.120 we got all these teasers to tease these super Bowl ads. 0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:26.280 Right right, It's it's not enough to just have the ad. 0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:28.120 Now you have like a teaser for the ad. 0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:30.359 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, We've got a trailer for the 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:32.639 ad that's coming up during Super Bowl Sunday. That's how 0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:35.080 it is. And are there only some more of these online? 0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:36.960 We're starting to see we saw this the last couple 0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:40.360 of Super Bowls will where it's not even about Super 0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:42.920 Bowl Sunday. That does put the ad up on social 0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:45.800 or online and you can see it right now. I 0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:47.520 don't feel like this year, at least with the hype, 0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:49.480 it doesn't feel like they're doing that yet. They're more 0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:49.920 this year. 0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:54.199 I agree with you. Yeah, I think it's you know, 0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:59.480 they're they're the teaser certainly posted. Yeah, but but. 0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:04.200 I haven't seen any full ads release really on social. 0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:05.520 Too, which I'm glad. I mean, you spend a lot 0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:07.320 money I like to watch on Super Bowl Sunday. All right, 0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:10.840 So if you're not, if you're not watching college basketball 0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:13.040 and tomorrow, let's say, or maybe tomorrow night, you want 0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:14.439 to watch something, what do you have on streaming? 0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:21.320 Disney Plus, the first episode of The Muppet Show Revival 0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:24.600 is streaming now. And what I love about this is 0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:26.119 they didn't try to invent it and make it a 0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:28.479 twenty twenty sixth version of The Muppet Show. It follows 0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:30.560 the same formula that the show did in the seventies 0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:33.320 and eighties. It's Kermit trying to keep the show on 0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:35.880 the train, on the tracks, you know, it's a variety 0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:38.920 show that got musical performances and one human guest star, 0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:42.440 and in this episode it is Sabrina Carpenter. So right 0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:46.359 now it is just it's just a one episode like 0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:49.560 special event. But I think that if enough people respond 0:24:49.600 --> 0:24:52.280 well to it, if it's received well, that it will 0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:54.040 be green light as a full series. 0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:56.159 But for right now, it's just the one episode. And 0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:58.000 it's a ton of fun, you know it. 0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:00.080 And I think a lot of people are looking for 0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:03.399 something little silly, little goofy, little nostalgic right now, and 0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:04.760 it checks all those bodies. 0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:07.440 They're bringing everything back. Why not that that that should be. 0:25:07.359 --> 0:25:11.080 Easy, right right? And you're only paying one human actor 0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:13.680 to make the you know, pup teers. 0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:18.160 I make it that much money, right exactly? Yeah, Yeah, 0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:21.199 I like, I don't know if I if they just 0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:24.119 went like full AI you know, c G I whatever 0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:26.760 it is as opposed to the actual muppets, it's even cheaper, 0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:30.400 but like, I don't know, I like I like felt. 0:25:31.200 --> 0:25:35.720 Yeah yeah, And and there's something about real felt watching Yeah, 0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:39.199 Sabrina interact with real felt that you know it just 0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:40.520 it feels right, Yeah. 0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:42.240 She's rubbing on real felt, not like you know, a 0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:45.119 digital felt real felt real whool whatever that whatever that 0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:47.639 stuff's made out of. Anyway, I know there's also something 0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:51.520 on Peacock that's dropping two and it's a I think 0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:53.840 a comedy series, is it, you know I'm. 0:25:53.680 --> 0:25:55.120 Talking about it's a dark comedy. 0:25:55.240 --> 0:25:57.879 Yeah. So this is Kiky Palmer in the Verbs and 0:25:57.920 --> 0:26:00.520 it's based on the movie from the eighties of the 0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:01.040 same name. 0:26:01.520 --> 0:26:02.960 Tom Hanks was in that movie. 0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:06.240 And yeah, so she and her husband moved back to 0:26:06.320 --> 0:26:09.240 his childhood cul de Sac and there's this creepy house 0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:11.560 across the street and she keeps thinking she's seeing someone 0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:14.840 watching her through the windows. And you know, over in 0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.000 the middle of the night, someone buys this creepy house 0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:19.479 and moves in, and you know, there's a little bit 0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:21.840 of a murder mystery element to it, but it's also 0:26:21.960 --> 0:26:25.160 very funny. So all eight episodes of that will drop 0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:27.760 on Sunday. I watched the first episode and I thought 0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:30.760 there was a ton of fun and she's fabulous in it, 0:26:30.840 --> 0:26:32.200 so definitely worth checking out. 0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:34.879 Yeah, let's watch that. I also have to give you credit. 0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:37.280 Last week you reviewed Send Help the movie and you 0:26:37.320 --> 0:26:40.400 said it was great. Yeah, and I went and saw 0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:44.760 it and it was great. Yay, good job. 0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:47.719 So glad you liked good job?

It's bloody. It can kind 0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:56.960 of be sort of silly or funny at times, disarment, 0:26:56.960 --> 0:26:59.280 but it's a good drama and a little horse. It 0:26:59.320 --> 0:27:03.200 was like a malgamation of all these different genres of movies, 0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:06.359 and it was it was cinematic, was well shot, and 0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:07.960 the best part was I mean, I don't go to 0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:09.600 a lot of movies, but know I have Like it's 0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:11.600 Friday night, it's cold, why do we go to Let's 0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:14.040 go to matinee.

It's worth even if you pay the 0:29:12.600 --> 0:29:14.520 twenty bucks or whatever it is. But that place I've 0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:17.920 been levenon was great, Man six bucks, and I felt 0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:19.960 really really old because we're like, there were two other 0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:23.840 people in there and it's like the old people matinee. 0:29:23.840 --> 0:29:25.400 It's like, okay, I'm leaning into it. 0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:25.560 Man. 0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:27.800 It's great. I didn't even like think about pulling out 0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:31.440 like a golden Buckeye carter. I get four cents off 0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:33.680 that it's six dollars. They're not making up some money 0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:35.760 on that deal. I felt obliged to buy the popcorn. 0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:38.160 It was damn good popcorn too, I was. I was 0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:40.480 very very surprised, very pleasantly surprised, and then't good to 0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:43.280 get things like that where you buy something and ah, 0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:46.680 so we're doing good, we're doing good. Other end of 0:29:46.680 --> 0:29:50.800 the spectrum on that. So yesterday I was talking about 0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:53.200 how Dorothy and Lanemarket dropped food off to us and 0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:55.600 I love loved out Dorothy Lemery Spist and it's one 0:29:55.640 --> 0:29:58.160 of those places you go and some of the stuff 0:29:58.160 --> 0:30:00.840 can be a little more expensive and you go and 0:30:00.840 --> 0:30:03.040 you're like, man, and then you try. It's like I've 0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:06.760 never had anything bad there. So yesterday after the show, 0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:08.560 I roll in and I saw some nice land in 0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:10.720 the parking lot. She's like slowy, like yeah, she said, 0:30:10.840 --> 0:30:12.440 you really do go here? Like yeah, I go here, 0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:17.000 of course I do. So I go in and I'm 0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:19.080 like I'm just getting I kind of like on the 0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:21.160 verge of a cold, like it's been four or five 0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:22.920 days where it's just hanging out, like I got one 0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:26.760 nostril that's semi full of goo, but everything else is fine. 0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:29.080 Like I'm not sure if I'm getting it, getting over 0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:30.920 it and leaning into it. I don't know. So I'm like, 0:30:31.080 --> 0:30:33.680 I'm gonna make some soup, get a orange. I'm walking by. 0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:35.720 They've got fresh sweeze orange juice there. Oh nice? I 0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:37.760 got like, what is a quard half gallon a bucket? 0:30:37.760 --> 0:30:38.080 I don't know. 0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:40.040 It sound like a big thing of it. My barrel 0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:42.840 looks pretty good, and so I just grab it, put 0:30:42.880 --> 0:30:45.480 in my cart whatever, I'll give my credit card what 0:30:45.600 --> 0:30:47.840 I'm not paying attention. I get home about a few 0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:49.880 things and I started looking at the bath I'm like, wow, 0:30:49.920 --> 0:30:52.360 that alls so expensive. I look up and the orange 0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:56.880 juice is like seventeen dollars, and I went I really 0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:59.240 got to look at cause that was like seventy Come on. 0:31:00.560 --> 0:31:04.160 So I'm like, I gotta check the prices better. Michelle 0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:05.600 gonna yell at me. She found so I threw their 0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:08.080 seat up. So anyway, I'm like, okay, I'll have a 0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:10.479 glass orange and shake it up. And it was like 0:31:10.600 --> 0:31:17.920 drinking nectar out of an Angel's nipple. It was incredible, 0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:23.040 how good the orange juice was, like, not frozen, not concentrated. 0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:26.200 You just this image her in the minute. Hit your lips. 0:31:26.640 --> 0:31:30.000 It's sweet and it's tangy, and it's super bright and fresh, 0:31:30.160 --> 0:31:35.080 and damn it, it was totally worth it, totally worth. 0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:37.600 Don't mix it, don't make a my mose out of it. 0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:40.840 It was just because normally orange juice it tastes orangees. 0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:44.800 This was incredible, like the best orange juice I've ever had. 0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:47.120 And I went, damn it, they did it to me again. 0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:52.160 They win, they always win. It's so good, so good, 0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:54.520 and hopefully that kicks my cold. In the bottle a 0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:57.080 bit of vitamin see. I know it's more of livestele 0:31:57.120 --> 0:31:59.920 again and the itam is already, but just try to 0:32:00.000 --> 0:32:02.440 hang out, just trying to hang out. So yeah, it 0:32:02.520 --> 0:32:06.840 was you know what, little indulgences, Little indulgences. That's why 0:32:06.880 --> 0:32:08.000 I look at it. I went, you know what, I 0:32:08.000 --> 0:32:09.960 could pay that for a cocktail at the bar. I 0:32:10.000 --> 0:32:11.920 got a whole thing or fresh orange juice tastes like 0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:17.440 nipple nectar. Scott's Loan Show seven hundred ww here we 0:32:17.520 --> 0:32:20.600 go Floaning seven hundred WW News comes your way in 0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:23.040 about two minutes. Two minutes from now, very let's going on, 0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:25.920 including the what's going on with the Savannah guthriees vond 0:32:25.960 --> 0:32:28.240 down A Guthrie still missing now and it's getting to 0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:30.760 that point now you're like, man, she didn't have her medicine. 0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:32.560 She's gonna last twenty four hours. You want to hope 0:32:32.560 --> 0:32:35.480 that the person who is you know, do you just 0:32:35.480 --> 0:32:37.160 want to say it's still like an inside job, a 0:32:37.200 --> 0:32:40.120 family member something like that if it were, and hopefully 0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:42.640 they had the medicine for but man, even the blood 0:32:42.640 --> 0:32:45.960 outside and everything else, that's not good heading into close 0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:47.520 to a week at this point right now. So the 0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:49.160 very latest on that. By the way, there was a 0:32:49.520 --> 0:32:51.640 talking about it yesterday, there was a ransom note. I 0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:53.719 think there are a couple, as the story goes, because 0:32:54.400 --> 0:32:56.760 the one was a fraud in fake. They caught the 0:32:56.760 --> 0:32:59.280 guy responsible for that, and you know you should go 0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:00.800 not only to hell, but to prison the rest of 0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:02.560 your life. You're trying to exploit that situation with that 0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:05.160 poor family. But I guess maybe the other one is 0:33:05.600 --> 0:33:09.120 was real because Savannah Guthrie released that video saying hey, 0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:10.920 you have her or let her know, we need proof 0:33:10.920 --> 0:33:12.760 she's still live, because you can fake things with AI 0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:16.680 and all that. So the very latest on this bizarre 0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:19.560 case involving her, and of course the local ties here 0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:24.680 to Notre Dame Academy in northern Kentucky, so we'll get 0:33:24.680 --> 0:33:26.840 an update on that one. We do have snow flying 0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:28.880 as we speak right now, started a little while ago, 0:33:28.920 --> 0:33:31.560 and it should continue at least for they think maybe 0:33:31.600 --> 0:33:33.200 Rought Mount starting to wrap up at this point. I 0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:36.800 wigh full forecast in just minutes on seven hundred WLW. 0:33:36.960 --> 0:33:38.960 On the way, we get more Super Bowl discussion. Austin 0:33:38.960 --> 0:33:42.320 Elmoores here from ESPN fifteen thirty. We'll talk about that. 0:33:42.720 --> 0:33:46.200 The bizarre story about a skier Olympic skier Apparently there's 0:33:46.200 --> 0:33:49.480 a scandal brewing at the Olympics right now, and I 0:33:49.480 --> 0:33:51.600 don't know how to word this for sensitive ears real quick, 0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:57.000 but apparently it involves male skiers injecting their penises P 0:33:57.080 --> 0:33:59.680 and I, as it were, with a drug that causes 0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:03.680 things swell up down there, and somehow this leads to 0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:08.440 them getting an extra nine feet of distance when they 0:34:08.440 --> 0:34:10.680 do the long jump. I am making this stuff up. 0:34:11.200 --> 0:34:12.960 I'm not making this up. It's a true st it 0:34:12.960 --> 0:34:15.280 feels like the onion, but it really is not the onion. 0:34:15.880 --> 0:34:17.480 It may be a bloomin onion, but it's not the 0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:20.160 onion anyway. News on the way and more to follow 0:34:20.160 --> 0:34:22.840 here it's a Scott's Loan Show, Happy Friday, Super Bowl Sunday. 0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:25.799 You'll hear it at six thirty right here on the 0:34:25.840 --> 0:34:32.360 home of the Super Bowl, seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati. Scott 0:34:32.400 --> 0:34:35.960 Flunk Show on seven hundred WLW. Something like sixteen and 0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:39.000 a half million eligible veterans are not enrolled in VA 0:34:39.080 --> 0:34:42.960 benefits nine million R and so my math tells me 0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:45.640 that's about two thirds of veterans. If you're a veteran, 0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:49.120 two thirds of you aren't using your VA healthcare benefits 0:34:49.200 --> 0:34:53.720 they've earned. That's an astonishingly low participation rate for something 0:34:53.760 --> 0:34:56.319 you have earned. Steve Belsos here as the director of 0:34:56.320 --> 0:34:58.520 Claremont County Veteran Service Commission, ste welcome, are. 0:34:58.480 --> 0:34:59.839 You say, I'm well, sir? 0:35:00.200 --> 0:35:04.160 You're doing well? Happy New Year? That is that's amazing, 0:35:04.160 --> 0:35:06.000 because you know, we hear about we talk from time 0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:07.840 to time when you come in, talk about VA benefits 0:35:07.840 --> 0:35:09.920 and the like. But two thirds aren't using them. Where 0:35:09.920 --> 0:35:12.040 are they? Going. Is it just because they have private healthcare? 0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:14.319 Well potentially. Okay, So you. 0:35:14.320 --> 0:35:17.200 Have a service member that does a short contract of 0:35:17.239 --> 0:35:20.839 three or four years, they get out, nothing monumental happen 0:35:20.960 --> 0:35:24.040 health wise on active duty, and they think it's just 0:35:24.080 --> 0:35:27.520 for those old guys retiring with bumps, bruises, broken legs, 0:35:27.560 --> 0:35:29.800 what have you, that would use the VA healthcare. 0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:32.840 But that's not the truth. 0:35:33.040 --> 0:35:38.600 When a service member leaving the service with a D 0:35:38.560 --> 0:35:43.520 two fourteen, or a reservist that has something happen while 0:35:43.640 --> 0:35:45.920 during training that he has a he or she has 0:35:45.920 --> 0:35:48.640 a letter of record to the incident, can take that 0:35:48.680 --> 0:35:50.880 to the VA and enroll in healthcare. 0:35:53.880 --> 0:35:56.680 Yeah, okay, so you go and you can roll in healthcare. 0:35:56.760 --> 0:35:59.000 So you can't have private healthcare and VA and they 0:35:59.000 --> 0:35:59.839 can compliment each other. 0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:00.759 Absolutely. 0:36:00.719 --> 0:36:00.959 Okay. 0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:03.080 So matter of fact, I do, I have three. I've 0:36:03.120 --> 0:36:05.759 retired from active duty, so I have one from the military. 0:36:06.360 --> 0:36:09.839 I'm uh converensated by the VA with my injuries, so 0:36:09.880 --> 0:36:12.399 I have full health care through the VA, and by 0:36:12.400 --> 0:36:15.000 working for the county, the county also covers me with 0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:16.960 their healthcare as well. 0:36:17.520 --> 0:36:17.640 Well. 0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:20.720 Listen to you, Bragg, I know that you can't believe 0:36:20.760 --> 0:36:21.640 how confusing is. 0:36:21.560 --> 0:36:23.000 Somebody look at it right, or I can't even get 0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:24.160 how he's got three? 0:36:24.800 --> 0:36:26.920 But yeah, and the vendors are going, uh, we're not 0:36:26.920 --> 0:36:29.239 going to apply any of it. You still owe us money. 0:36:29.440 --> 0:36:32.120 So sure, our healthcare system is a mess in America. 0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:34.799 That's a that's the non VA thing. It's like, what 0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:36.359 are we doing three again? 0:36:37.239 --> 0:36:38.040 I still get a bill? 0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:39.319 Yeah, that's unbelievable. 0:36:40.080 --> 0:36:40.279 Yeah. 0:36:40.560 --> 0:36:45.120 I think it's interesting though, too, because you know the 0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:47.759 idea that that only veterans are injured like yourself or 0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:50.600 have disability to somehow multiple and that's not true, right. 0:36:50.560 --> 0:36:51.759 No, it's not, no, it's not no. 0:36:52.000 --> 0:36:56.520 What the there's almost a matrix in how that flow 0:36:56.600 --> 0:37:00.879 chart looks. Right, So, somebody that's compensated by the VA 0:37:01.040 --> 0:37:03.640 for injuries on active duty that are rated at fifty 0:37:03.680 --> 0:37:06.400 percent or above, their healthcare is free to the VA. 0:37:07.080 --> 0:37:10.000 But if you've enrolled in healthcare, and you might be okay, 0:37:10.040 --> 0:37:12.520 this happened on active duty, but it's really not impacting you, 0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:15.680 and you're zero percent, you can instill enroll in their 0:37:15.719 --> 0:37:18.799 healthcare and you would pay a nominal copay as you 0:37:18.800 --> 0:37:23.160 would with a private party through whatever your employer is okay. 0:37:24.200 --> 0:37:27.600 As part of this too, the historic experience and certainly 0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:29.799 maybe not from maybe from younger ve's I don't know, 0:37:29.840 --> 0:37:32.439 but for veterans who have had negative experience stories about 0:37:32.440 --> 0:37:34.640 the VA from you know, years ago, and it's always 0:37:34.680 --> 0:37:37.279 hard to those things persist in stereotypes stick around. But 0:37:37.840 --> 0:37:41.800 how has the VA healthcare change in terms of quality 0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:43.120 but also accessibility? 0:37:43.520 --> 0:37:46.719 Oh my, you know, I stuttered a little bit because 0:37:46.760 --> 0:37:50.000 I am so proud of the Cincinnati VA. And again 0:37:50.120 --> 0:37:54.239 I'm not from the VA, right Claremont County Veterans Service Office, 0:37:54.440 --> 0:37:56.800 so I'm not from the VA. Don't work for the VA, 0:37:56.840 --> 0:38:01.000 work for the county. I've been through multiple VA hospitals 0:38:01.280 --> 0:38:04.440 after retirement of twenty nine years in a Marine Corps, 0:38:04.440 --> 0:38:09.120 from Georgia to Columbus to now Cincinnati. The Cincinnati VA, 0:38:09.880 --> 0:38:13.279 in my opinion, is one of the best vas I've 0:38:13.280 --> 0:38:18.319 ever been in. They're genuine, they're welcoming. But I also 0:38:18.360 --> 0:38:21.520 think this is why their parking lot is always so full. 0:38:22.560 --> 0:38:25.560 Great service. Personal friend of mine going through cancer SLOONI 0:38:26.760 --> 0:38:30.320 not enrolled with VA Healthcare, signed up online. 0:38:30.480 --> 0:38:32.080 They took care of every. 0:38:31.880 --> 0:38:35.640 Issue of his going through his cancer treatment, and he 0:38:35.760 --> 0:38:39.840 say Steve, I can't get over how genuine, nice and 0:38:40.000 --> 0:38:43.279 pleasant the people are going through my treatment. They know 0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:45.840 me by name when I'm coming in. They're ensuring my 0:38:46.239 --> 0:38:49.759 health as well, he says. I The misnumber of the 0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:52.560 VAS just slaughtering the wrong leg off, right, Make sure 0:38:52.640 --> 0:38:54.759 you put a big X, not this leg, the other 0:38:54.840 --> 0:38:58.360 one or whatever. The service sure we have right, not 0:38:58.480 --> 0:39:02.480 the Cincinnati VA. Go see them and experience it for 0:39:02.520 --> 0:39:06.360 yourself before you just take a negative line because everyone 0:39:06.400 --> 0:39:06.960 else says it. 0:39:07.040 --> 0:39:11.240 Yeah, two thirds of eligible veterans do not use VA healthcare. 0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:12.920 And we're kind of talking about that Steep also this 0:39:12.960 --> 0:39:16.520 morning with the Claremont County Veteran Service Commission. Well, I 0:39:16.520 --> 0:39:18.279 think probably another one of the concepts, and I know 0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:20.840 if I'm talking to you over the past years, is 0:39:20.880 --> 0:39:23.640 a lot of veterans think that somehow it's a limited quantity, 0:39:23.640 --> 0:39:25.839 that you're taking away care for someone else who may 0:39:25.880 --> 0:39:29.400 be suffering and worse shape they are. And how how 0:39:29.440 --> 0:39:32.000 does that funding work when when veterans enroll, because clearly 0:39:32.040 --> 0:39:33.160 that's a misconception. 0:39:33.320 --> 0:39:36.880 It is, well, and it is some of the older 0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:40.319 veterans whose parents or grandparents came through the Depression era 0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:42.600 where they all straighten out their own nails, and you 0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:44.360 had a bucket, and you had a victory garden, and 0:39:44.480 --> 0:39:47.560 you were self reliant and self confident, and you're going 0:39:47.640 --> 0:39:50.319 to take care of your own family. And so they're 0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:53.799 hesitant to take from the VA. And then secondly, because 0:39:53.800 --> 0:39:56.719 there's limited quantities growing up, I don't want to take 0:39:56.760 --> 0:39:59.440 from someone else who may need them worse than me. 0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:02.880 But the fact is, the more people that enroll in 0:40:03.040 --> 0:40:07.040 VA healthcare, such as the Cincinnati VA, the greater their 0:40:07.040 --> 0:40:09.799 budget's going to be because it's based off in roll 0:40:09.880 --> 0:40:14.319 these So you can actually help the VA locally by 0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:18.600 enrolling in VA healthcare. Therefore, as you get your hearing aids, 0:40:18.640 --> 0:40:21.600 they get a bigger budget line to afford more hearing 0:40:21.600 --> 0:40:25.320 aids such as an example, to take care of local veterans. 0:40:25.840 --> 0:40:28.040 So to stay away and not accept it because someone 0:40:28.040 --> 0:40:31.600 else needs it worse than you. Flip that narrative. The 0:40:31.640 --> 0:40:34.760 fact that you enrolled and you are receiving care brings 0:40:34.800 --> 0:40:37.960 a bigger budget line into our VA here in Cincinnati, 0:40:38.320 --> 0:40:42.560 more staff, and therefore more services can be made available. 0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:45.800 Gotcha, people are still going back to the Great Depression 0:40:45.840 --> 0:40:47.400 and going. 0:40:47.160 --> 0:40:50.240 Well, am I still dealing with those veterans really really really, 0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:52.680 I mean we still have some World War II veterans. 0:40:52.320 --> 0:40:54.080 Yeah, I know we do. So it's like I can't 0:40:54.080 --> 0:40:55.600 imagine we're still thinking that's the way. 0:40:55.600 --> 0:40:59.120 It's still less non vets who are their parents. That's 0:40:59.160 --> 0:41:01.600 the way they were read and right, so we change. 0:41:01.800 --> 0:41:03.359 You could have taken me out of the trailer park, 0:41:03.360 --> 0:41:05.120 but you're not taking a trailer park out of me. 0:41:05.440 --> 0:41:10.319 So nonetheless, as the grandparents influenced me, my parents influenced me, 0:41:11.080 --> 0:41:15.080 so do I somewhat think today and challenging that narrative 0:41:15.719 --> 0:41:17.880 is a struggle. Right, we're doing it one degree at 0:41:17.880 --> 0:41:20.320 a time. And the veterans are listening to this show 0:41:20.840 --> 0:41:24.480 and you're not enrolled in VA healthcare, go see it out. 0:41:24.560 --> 0:41:26.440 Okay, I just wondered, like, you know, is there a 0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:29.200 mustard gas expiry? Went Its like it's like we're living 0:41:29.200 --> 0:41:32.000 through the Great War again or something here digging trenches. 0:41:31.600 --> 0:41:34.680 And right, yeah, no, it's yeah, it's but again though 0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:36.200 you don't know what you don't know. 0:41:36.640 --> 0:41:37.839 So that's why we do this show. 0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:39.880 And it persists, and it's like, okay, I got not 0:41:39.960 --> 0:41:42.080 taking away care from anyone else, And now it's there 0:41:42.120 --> 0:41:44.400 for me because I earned it, so it's not like 0:41:44.480 --> 0:41:47.600 it's in limited supply. That makes a lot of sense. 0:41:48.640 --> 0:41:50.640 You know, when it comes to enrollment and accessibility, you 0:41:50.719 --> 0:41:52.359 have to go to the VA facilitating in a role. 0:41:52.600 --> 0:41:54.279 No you do not, No, you do not. 0:41:54.640 --> 0:41:59.399 It's in today's technology technological world. We have VA dot 0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:01.879 gov where you can sign up for healthcare just through 0:42:01.880 --> 0:42:04.600 their website. You can see any one of your county 0:42:04.680 --> 0:42:08.239 Veteran Service offices and they will help you enroll in 0:42:08.280 --> 0:42:09.080 healthcare as well. 0:42:09.120 --> 0:42:10.799 Do you have an issue with people going, hey, look 0:42:10.920 --> 0:42:12.560 it's been years since I about on the service, so 0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:14.880 I'm not eligible. Like there's some sort of window I 0:42:14.880 --> 0:42:17.600 have to enroll right after I am you know, received 0:42:17.640 --> 0:42:18.799 my discharge papers. 0:42:19.000 --> 0:42:22.440 Actually that's somewhat inverted that most things. Because I just 0:42:22.480 --> 0:42:24.719 got off active duty, I can't enroll yet. 0:42:24.760 --> 0:42:27.799 Like there's there's a waiting period which is as soon 0:42:27.840 --> 0:42:29.560 as once you're separated here. 0:42:29.560 --> 0:42:32.160 The next day exactly. So yesterday was my last day 0:42:32.160 --> 0:42:35.000 of active duty. Today I'm enrolled. I would imagine now 0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:38.279 in today's world that as they're leaving active duties, that 0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:41.360 they're already submitting the paperwork, so that there's a seamless 0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:43.720 transition to move into VA healthcare. 0:42:43.760 --> 0:42:45.800 Seems like they should be part of the separation process. 0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:49.480 All right, it's like scause DoD and VA or separate 0:42:49.480 --> 0:42:50.760 federal organizations. 0:42:50.840 --> 0:42:51.239 They can't. 0:42:51.880 --> 0:42:54.040 I think they can, but there's never been. You know, 0:42:54.080 --> 0:42:57.279 we're talking pillars of communication and will you cross talk right? 0:42:57.280 --> 0:42:58.640 And I think we're getting better at that. 0:42:58.760 --> 0:43:01.960 Okay, once you you do leave military and active duty, 0:43:02.520 --> 0:43:05.600 in any transition to civilian life, what did vacare? Give 0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:07.319 me a scope of what it all entails? What are 0:43:07.320 --> 0:43:07.880 you entitled to? 0:43:08.040 --> 0:43:08.200 Well? 0:43:08.200 --> 0:43:08.839 What it was it cover? 0:43:09.360 --> 0:43:09.720 Sure? 0:43:09.960 --> 0:43:13.840 So one, in a general prospect, I can elect to 0:43:13.960 --> 0:43:17.200 use the VA as my primary care physician. I've got 0:43:17.200 --> 0:43:20.279 a DT two fourteen, i was honorably discharged. I can 0:43:20.400 --> 0:43:22.920 lect to use them as my primary care physician. And 0:43:22.960 --> 0:43:26.520 I may have zero for compensation and pension because I 0:43:26.560 --> 0:43:29.040 had no injuries on active duty. I might have had 0:43:29.040 --> 0:43:32.320 a cold. I can still sign up for the healthcare 0:43:32.880 --> 0:43:36.440 much like your private industry insurance. I'm going to have 0:43:36.520 --> 0:43:38.920 a cold pay, but you can still sign up for 0:43:39.000 --> 0:43:41.960 VA healthcare. Oh cool, all right, I can have multiple 0:43:42.000 --> 0:43:45.799 health care try care for life. I've does everybody get 0:43:46.000 --> 0:43:49.600 prescription benefits too. They do so at fifty percent or 0:43:49.560 --> 0:43:53.600 above compensated by the VA. Your prescriptions and all of 0:43:53.600 --> 0:43:56.960 your healthcare is free to the VA if you're under that. 0:43:57.400 --> 0:43:59.880 I would imagine there's a somewhat of a scale of 0:44:00.160 --> 0:44:02.880 how much you're going to pay for prescriptions and visits. 0:44:02.880 --> 0:44:04.680 But again it's almost like a co pay. 0:44:04.880 --> 0:44:06.440 Yeah. Yeah, and I started to play. I think most 0:44:06.440 --> 0:44:09.200 people are like, wow, you know, do one tour, serve 0:44:09.320 --> 0:44:11.520 for a term and I'm eligible for all this stuff. 0:44:11.719 --> 0:44:13.719 Oh incredible, it is incredible. 0:44:13.920 --> 0:44:16.400 But then with to be able to order your medications 0:44:16.440 --> 0:44:19.320 online building your presence, you go to VA dot gov, 0:44:19.680 --> 0:44:22.319 you open up my healthy vet and you reorder your 0:44:22.320 --> 0:44:24.279 prescriptions and I can get them in the mail for 0:44:24.400 --> 0:44:25.400 ninety day prescriptions. 0:44:25.480 --> 0:44:27.759 Yeah. And all does is if you're in Claremont County 0:44:27.880 --> 0:44:29.960 or whatever county it is, go to your Veterans Service Commission, 0:44:30.000 --> 0:44:32.560 you Stephen, Claremont County. People reach out to you. You 0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:35.080 help facilitate this whole process. Get him signed up, getting 0:44:35.080 --> 0:44:35.480 ready to go. 0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:37.960 That's right, easolutely, yeah, really easy. 0:44:38.280 --> 0:44:42.840 But there is some there's some unknowns that can somewhat 0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:43.840 hurt the veteran. 0:44:44.520 --> 0:44:45.600 We've been on Sony. 0:44:45.640 --> 0:44:49.239 We talked maybe last year about suicide prevention, right, right, 0:44:49.600 --> 0:44:53.400 and so the VA will support if you were having 0:44:53.440 --> 0:44:57.560 issues and the veteran goes to any hospital, the VA 0:44:57.640 --> 0:45:00.600 says we will cover that because that was a mental issue. 0:45:02.000 --> 0:45:04.719 You have to apply that. You have to call the 0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:10.520 customer care line within seventy two hours to notify the VA. 0:45:11.560 --> 0:45:14.520 If you don't, potentially you're covering some of that bill. 0:45:14.960 --> 0:45:15.319 Got it. 0:45:15.840 --> 0:45:18.720 So ensure you're getting the card about the number to call, 0:45:19.040 --> 0:45:22.319 your spouse or your family knows about it. That if 0:45:22.360 --> 0:45:24.560 I even taken by ambulance and they take me to 0:45:24.600 --> 0:45:28.279 Mercy Health christ Hospital somewhere here local, that they call 0:45:28.360 --> 0:45:31.320 that number within seventy two hours to notify the VA. 0:45:31.840 --> 0:45:33.960 It doesn't mean they're going to drag you downtown to 0:45:34.000 --> 0:45:36.799 the VA. Yeah, especially if you're in the ICU. They're 0:45:36.800 --> 0:45:39.440 not going to drag you anywhere. But that helps start 0:45:39.480 --> 0:45:43.000 the process to where you're not incurring some of that billing. 0:45:43.160 --> 0:45:45.080 Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't you know, freak out because you 0:45:45.080 --> 0:45:47.200 need emergency treat and now you go to a trauma center. 0:45:47.280 --> 0:45:48.719 It doesn't matter if you're a plan or not. But 0:45:48.760 --> 0:45:50.960 that's going to be taken care of. Just give you know, 0:45:50.960 --> 0:45:53.239 seventy two hours reasonable period to let a loved one 0:45:53.360 --> 0:45:56.280 or you know, your nurse someone know that. That's the case. 0:45:56.360 --> 0:45:59.160 Absolutely, but it's an unknown, yeah, and it's one of 0:45:59.239 --> 0:46:01.439 those we try to teach as much as we can. 0:46:01.560 --> 0:46:03.880 They actually have cards down at the VA, So if 0:46:03.880 --> 0:46:06.719 you're downtown Cincinnati, try to find one of them, put 0:46:06.719 --> 0:46:09.120 it in your wallet and let your spouse know it's there. 0:46:09.800 --> 0:46:11.520 Put it with an ID. Actually, I wish they had 0:46:11.560 --> 0:46:12.839 bracelets that they would have to put. 0:46:12.760 --> 0:46:15.239 In your ice contact on your phone, you know, have 0:46:15.239 --> 0:46:19.080 emergency right, absolutely, yeah, and then they will know that. 0:46:20.440 --> 0:46:22.239 So the takeaway here, if there's one thing you want 0:46:22.320 --> 0:46:25.720 a veteran to know who's not enrolled, what would that be? Enroll? 0:46:26.400 --> 0:46:27.799 Enroll We that's easy. 0:46:27.760 --> 0:46:30.920 Roll right, It's got to start somewhere. What's the foundation 0:46:31.239 --> 0:46:35.800 you have to enroll? And by enrolling, you're actually benefiting 0:46:35.920 --> 0:46:39.640 the VA with a budget that they can sustain the 0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:43.560 local community of veterans who need service. You're actually helping 0:46:43.600 --> 0:46:45.680 those on your left and right, whether you need to 0:46:45.760 --> 0:46:46.400 use them or not. 0:46:46.560 --> 0:46:48.640 And an easy part of making it something easy even 0:46:48.680 --> 0:46:51.600 easier is if you're frustrated by the process. Confused where 0:46:51.600 --> 0:46:53.279 to start, Call you guys, get ahold of you guys. 0:46:53.280 --> 0:46:56.880 You'll you'll hold their hand and take them through right, absolutely, okay. 0:46:56.960 --> 0:46:59.000 Number there at the Clairemont County Service Vet and Service 0:46:59.040 --> 0:47:00.919 Commission is Clemont. 0:47:00.560 --> 0:47:03.719 County Veterans dot Com five one three seven three two 0:47:03.920 --> 0:47:05.759 seven three six three. 0:47:06.040 --> 0:47:07.960 Of course, if you're not in Clermont, Connie, there's a 0:47:08.200 --> 0:47:11.480 b SC in every county in Ohio. In Ohio, Steve 0:47:11.520 --> 0:47:13.320 all the best, buddy, Thanks for coming in this morning 0:47:13.280 --> 0:47:16.759 for sciate it take well, that's it. It's over on Sunday. Course, 0:47:16.760 --> 0:47:19.120 Super Bowl sixty is coming up. We'll talk to Austin 0:47:19.120 --> 0:47:24.000 Elmore about the last football game of the season. Can't 0:47:24.000 --> 0:47:26.040 wait for it same time, can't wait for next year 0:47:26.080 --> 0:47:28.600 to start. The Bengals can get retooled in the offseason. 0:47:28.640 --> 0:47:30.760 We shall see. We also talk about with Super Bowl preview. 0:47:30.760 --> 0:47:34.319 Austin Elmore from ESPN fifteen thirty jumps in as we 0:47:34.480 --> 0:47:37.240 roll on this Friday morning with snow falling down snow, 0:47:37.239 --> 0:47:46.480 we got snow baby, seven hundred wlwts sloding here the 0:47:46.520 --> 0:47:51.799 seven hundred wlw Welcome to it. Uh news on to 0:47:51.800 --> 0:47:54.319 wait in about three minutes and it's really starting to 0:47:54.320 --> 0:47:56.799 pile up out there right now. And you know, they 0:47:56.880 --> 0:47:58.719 said maybe one to three inches, and now it's looking 0:47:58.760 --> 0:48:01.360 like more two to four. And and I just talked 0:48:01.360 --> 0:48:04.800 to Tom Brenneman. I called. He said, hey, let people 0:48:04.840 --> 0:48:06.560 know he's driving up to do a game. And he's 0:48:07.200 --> 0:48:10.000 was driving a little bit through Clinton County. So once 0:48:10.040 --> 0:48:13.360 you get up to Clinton County, it is literally whiteout conditions. 0:48:13.360 --> 0:48:15.280 We're kind of getting that down here in Kenwood, depending 0:48:15.320 --> 0:48:17.000 where you are, but white condition. You can't see the 0:48:17.000 --> 0:48:18.640 lines in the road city I know, oh, outside plant 0:48:18.640 --> 0:48:20.320 and it doesn't look like they touched it at all, 0:48:20.520 --> 0:48:22.000 and they may have. It's just coming down a lot 0:48:22.040 --> 0:48:23.440 but a lot of semis off the side of the 0:48:23.480 --> 0:48:25.680 road and turned over. So it is definitely a white 0:48:25.719 --> 0:48:28.560 knuckle thirty five mile in our experience if you're on 0:48:28.640 --> 0:48:30.360 seventy one. So if you don't need to go to 0:48:30.600 --> 0:48:33.080 or come back down, you know, come from Columbus, you 0:48:33.080 --> 0:48:35.000 want to avoid that for the next few hours. They're saying, 0:48:35.000 --> 0:48:36.120 you know, it looks like I'm just looking at the 0:48:36.200 --> 0:48:38.560 radar now that the snows can be around for at 0:48:38.640 --> 0:48:40.839 least another hour. I think too. And it's coming down 0:48:40.920 --> 0:48:42.719 pretty good right now. I know seventy four on the 0:48:42.760 --> 0:48:45.440 west side, traffic's all back that it's backing up all 0:48:45.440 --> 0:48:47.240 over the place. So this is kind of, I wouldn't 0:48:47.239 --> 0:48:50.239 say caught with our pants down situation, but getting a 0:48:50.239 --> 0:48:53.440 little bit more heavier in a little bit more accumulation 0:48:53.560 --> 0:48:57.400 than initially predicted. So if you don't have to go out, 0:48:57.440 --> 0:48:59.120 it's one of those deals where well, don't go out 0:49:00.000 --> 0:49:02.040 if you're stuck there, it's too late for you. I'm sorry. 0:49:02.239 --> 0:49:05.279 If you are stuck there, We'll hang on. We've got 0:49:05.280 --> 0:49:07.759 Austin Elmore from ESPN fifteen thirty coming out in just 0:49:07.800 --> 0:49:09.919 a couple of minutes on the show. Talk about Super 0:49:09.920 --> 0:49:12.959 Bowl sixty. You've got the Seahawks, you got the Patriots. 0:49:13.520 --> 0:49:16.600 It feels like to me like the New England Patriots 0:49:16.600 --> 0:49:21.880 with Drake May that this team feels like the Bengals 0:49:21.880 --> 0:49:23.719 when they went to the Super Bowl against because you know, 0:49:23.760 --> 0:49:27.120 the losing seasons back to back and all of a sudden, 0:49:27.160 --> 0:49:29.280 out of nowhere, boom, they become the darling in the NFL. 0:49:29.360 --> 0:49:32.439 Felt like that was the Bengals during that Super Bowl run, 0:49:33.600 --> 0:49:35.600 just kind of flying under the radar for a long time. 0:49:37.719 --> 0:49:39.680 So yeah, I think I still think Seattle wins. I 0:49:39.719 --> 0:49:42.000 know about you, but I'm just there for the football, baby. 0:49:42.000 --> 0:49:44.480 One more football game and then it is over. Then 0:49:44.520 --> 0:49:47.680 we can start talking about the Bengals rebuild, retool and 0:49:47.920 --> 0:49:51.840 get ready for OTAs and of course spring and leading 0:49:51.880 --> 0:49:54.960 to eventually training camp. But we've got Reds baseball too, 0:49:54.960 --> 0:49:56.560 so we're kind of hind the Reds right now too, 0:49:56.640 --> 0:49:59.680 with now adding a little bit more firepar spending more 0:49:59.680 --> 0:50:02.960 money than initially thought. So looked like maybe Phil Castelini 0:50:03.000 --> 0:50:05.600 getting booed might have paid some dividends when he got 0:50:05.600 --> 0:50:08.360 poot where it's Sinta Center that they go out and 0:50:08.400 --> 0:50:10.879 they get a back and bringing a guy back that 0:50:11.200 --> 0:50:13.279 Cincinnati's no one loves. So it feels good. It feels good. 0:50:13.280 --> 0:50:14.880 So we got that in a way. Anyway, we got 0:50:14.880 --> 0:50:17.200 a news update, as I said, and Austin returns in 0:50:17.239 --> 0:50:19.560 just minutes. We'll also get the very latest on the 0:50:19.600 --> 0:50:22.200 other big story today, and that involves Savannah Guthrie's mom 0:50:22.719 --> 0:50:25.320 and what the latest is on this really weird situation. 0:50:25.400 --> 0:50:27.840 Now you're heading what day six, and you want to 0:50:27.880 --> 0:50:30.440 pray that she's alive and well wherever she is, hopefully, 0:50:30.520 --> 0:50:33.200 because she needed that medication for the first twenty four 0:50:33.200 --> 0:50:36.040 at least twenty fours after and I don't know, hopefully 0:50:36.080 --> 0:50:38.520 that people have access to the medication she needs if 0:50:38.560 --> 0:50:41.239 indeed she's being held hostage, and you hope that she 0:50:41.320 --> 0:50:43.960 is still alive. So we'll get an update on all 0:50:44.000 --> 0:50:46.439 that in just minutes. Here it's a Scott's Loan show 0:50:46.600 --> 0:50:54.200 Friday morning, seven hundred WLWD Cincinnati super Bowl Sunday is here, 0:50:54.280 --> 0:50:57.800 and then we have that lull pictures and catchers report. 0:50:57.840 --> 0:51:01.040 There's NBA action getting out the wire, NHL if you're 0:51:01.080 --> 0:51:03.360 into that like me, sick for the puck, and of 0:51:03.400 --> 0:51:08.080 course college basketball with Miami still being undefeated. Austin almore 0:51:08.080 --> 0:51:10.560 on that and more on seven hundred. He jumps in 0:51:10.600 --> 0:51:14.080 from ESPN fifteen thirty does a show with Tony Pike 0:51:14.120 --> 0:51:15.840 at noon over there. Check that out. It's always a 0:51:15.840 --> 0:51:19.480 good time, always a good time. Hi, Hello, Scott, how 0:51:19.520 --> 0:51:20.520 are you You're good? 0:51:20.640 --> 0:51:21.000 Yeah? Right? 0:51:21.080 --> 0:51:23.520 This snowy weather, I love it. I love the snow, 0:51:23.600 --> 0:51:25.839 me too. It's also nasty on the roads right now. Yeah, 0:51:26.160 --> 0:51:27.000 parking lot everywhere. 0:51:27.040 --> 0:51:30.480 There's some big thick flakes coming down at the like thick. 0:51:30.719 --> 0:51:32.360 Is this a clipper? Are they. 0:51:33.800 --> 0:51:35.920 Clipper down just a little bit and then pops right? 0:51:35.960 --> 0:51:38.040 That's like two or three hours and a bunch of 0:51:39.440 --> 0:51:42.040 it's a clipper. Okay, all right, not a squall, it's 0:51:42.080 --> 0:51:42.560 a clipper. 0:51:42.719 --> 0:51:45.879 Yeah, all right, let's jump into the big stories today. 0:51:45.920 --> 0:51:48.400 Obviously super Bowl sixty. We'll touch on that in a second. 0:51:48.560 --> 0:51:53.600 What about the skier injecting penises with a drug? Did 0:51:53.680 --> 0:51:56.000 you hear this latest Olympic moment? 0:51:56.360 --> 0:51:59.280 I have maybe failed the audience here because I've seen 0:51:59.320 --> 0:52:02.520 the headline, but I have not cared to read the story. 0:52:02.560 --> 0:52:05.719 I read this story. Okay, explain this to me. So 0:52:05.800 --> 0:52:08.040 these are the long jumpers. They go off that rample 0:52:08.120 --> 0:52:13.960 of sports. That's amazing, right, Like I never try it, yeah, 0:52:14.000 --> 0:52:18.200 but I get it. So right before they compete, they 0:52:18.239 --> 0:52:20.799 get fitted for their uniforms and they are I guess 0:52:20.840 --> 0:52:22.360 custom made. I don't know how this works with the 0:52:22.400 --> 0:52:25.080 fitting and everything else. So apparently they figured out, like 0:52:25.800 --> 0:52:28.560 that velocity in that height in what you're doing. Apparently 0:52:28.600 --> 0:52:32.719 any aerodynamic advantage can literally result in metaling or not sure. 0:52:33.360 --> 0:52:36.239 So what the male figured out the men is, if 0:52:36.280 --> 0:52:39.360 you inject your penis with this drug, to make things 0:52:39.360 --> 0:52:42.120 bigger down there, you get fitted for your your suit, 0:52:42.960 --> 0:52:45.080 you're it all goes back to normal at some point, 0:52:45.719 --> 0:52:48.000 and now you've got a little extra fabric down there. 0:52:48.320 --> 0:52:51.120 Apparently that is translated. The extra two inches of fabric 0:52:51.200 --> 0:52:55.879 is translating to an additional nine feet in distance. How 0:52:55.920 --> 0:53:01.600 does that work? Well, it's so women don't have and 0:53:01.719 --> 0:53:04.440 so what happens is wouldn't you want less fabric? 0:53:05.680 --> 0:53:05.759 No? 0:53:05.920 --> 0:53:08.480 So think about it. Have you seen like the paragliders 0:53:08.480 --> 0:53:11.080 where there are a skydiver and they've got like a 0:53:11.480 --> 0:53:13.600 batsuit almost with a hand. 0:53:13.880 --> 0:53:16.680 Yeah, that's what this does, except for your crotch. I see, 0:53:16.719 --> 0:53:20.040 so it catches a little more air, correct, I see? 0:53:21.200 --> 0:53:24.640 Okay? Interesting? How much do you care about your If 0:53:24.680 --> 0:53:28.960 you could get a I don't know, an extra half 0:53:28.960 --> 0:53:33.120 a ratings point, would you injectors? I'm trying to think 0:53:33.120 --> 0:53:35.640 of something that Austin would do. Would you if you 0:53:35.640 --> 0:53:41.320 could bowl? I don't know, what's your sport? I I, uh, nothing, 0:53:41.640 --> 0:53:45.000 I was going to say, I don't talking about sports. Sport? 0:53:46.160 --> 0:53:47.640 You get an extra I don't know, a couple of 0:53:47.640 --> 0:53:52.000 miles out of your tongue corn Like, Wait, they're doing what? 0:53:52.080 --> 0:53:52.279 Yeah? 0:53:52.280 --> 0:53:54.399 That's what they're doing. I don't know what women would do. 0:53:55.560 --> 0:53:57.880 Maybe I don't know that. Yeah, I don't know that 0:53:57.920 --> 0:54:00.400 they're little extra padded brow Maybe when you get didn't 0:54:00.520 --> 0:54:03.000 does that work? I don't know. I feel like there 0:54:03.120 --> 0:54:07.480 needs to be a gap in which I don't know. Okay, 0:54:07.800 --> 0:54:11.799 I don't know the Olympians to figure something that going. Hey, 0:54:11.840 --> 0:54:14.719 if I like you're gonna do what, that's fascinating. That's 0:54:14.719 --> 0:54:15.480 fascinating to me. 0:54:15.760 --> 0:54:19.600 I mean, it has to make it really big to 0:54:19.680 --> 0:54:23.200 get an extra two inches of fabric, Like, there has 0:54:23.239 --> 0:54:27.719 to be an excessive amount of extra size added by 0:54:27.760 --> 0:54:30.920 whatever they are injected. Correct, So how did they figure 0:54:30.920 --> 0:54:32.680 this out? What did the artist such a thing? It's 0:54:32.719 --> 0:54:35.480 like the first guy to do this. Did the people 0:54:35.560 --> 0:54:40.640 fitting the suit say, hey, uh, everybody's got all of 0:54:40.640 --> 0:54:42.960 a sudden right bigger package. 0:54:43.080 --> 0:54:46.800 Yeah, I don't know. Interesting, it's it's any of the 0:54:46.960 --> 0:54:48.320 competitive edges are fascinating. 0:54:48.320 --> 0:54:52.160 I don't know that I would ever inject anything down 0:54:52.160 --> 0:54:55.520 there for a competitive I don't think I would do 0:54:55.960 --> 0:54:56.400 at all. 0:54:56.640 --> 0:54:59.680 Any other end up competitive vantage. Lindsey Van is superhuman 0:54:59.800 --> 0:55:02.640 like man. She blows her acel out for the three 0:55:02.719 --> 0:55:05.880 hundredth time they show a video of her training, it's 0:55:06.080 --> 0:55:08.560 like doing squat chumps and stuff like that with weights, Like, 0:55:09.280 --> 0:55:12.080 how does she not feel pain? I don't get. She's incredible, 0:55:12.080 --> 0:55:13.560 first of all, she's tough as nails. 0:55:13.960 --> 0:55:16.560 Second of all, I do think you know that the 0:55:16.640 --> 0:55:20.080 biggest part with acls and lcls from people that have 0:55:20.480 --> 0:55:23.040 injured them in the past and gone through maybe not 0:55:23.080 --> 0:55:26.799 necessarily people who are athletes, is the day to day 0:55:26.840 --> 0:55:29.600 life is not that hard. It's the cutting and the 0:55:29.680 --> 0:55:33.400 turning that makes it difficult. And I the more I 0:55:33.440 --> 0:55:36.279 think about it, with a brace, with some tourtol or 0:55:36.320 --> 0:55:38.840 a painkiller or whatever you're allowed to take for a 0:55:38.880 --> 0:55:42.279 minute and forty second race, maybe there's a way for 0:55:42.400 --> 0:55:45.680 her to do this without it really affecting her. She's practicing, 0:55:45.719 --> 0:55:48.279 she'd going through trial runs right now. She's posted about it. 0:55:48.600 --> 0:55:50.879 I've followed Lindsay Van on Instagram for a long time. 0:55:51.000 --> 0:55:51.400 Crazy. 0:55:51.600 --> 0:55:55.640 Her training regimen is unlike anything I've ever seen. That 0:55:55.760 --> 0:55:58.800 is one of the truly greatest athletes I've ever Seenie. 0:55:58.920 --> 0:55:59.760 I give her a lot of credit. 0:55:59.760 --> 0:56:01.640 Now, she's got a lot of money at stake if 0:56:01.640 --> 0:56:03.120 she were to miss it, and so I'm sure that 0:56:03.160 --> 0:56:05.759 plays a role in this as well. But also, man, 0:56:05.800 --> 0:56:07.279 I hope she goes out there and finds it. She 0:56:07.400 --> 0:56:09.080 was not a favorite to win this. I know she's 0:56:09.080 --> 0:56:11.480 always kind of been an underdog. It would be a 0:56:11.480 --> 0:56:14.880 great story and it gets hurt. It's crazy. She's been 0:56:15.680 --> 0:56:18.759 like evil. Caniebels love surgeries. Her and Tiger Woods really 0:56:18.760 --> 0:56:20.279 were made for each other. They really were. 0:56:20.719 --> 0:56:22.800 All right, let's jump into the big story this weekend. 0:56:22.800 --> 0:56:26.799 That's U see basketballs. Is wes Miller still crying? That's 0:56:26.840 --> 0:56:30.280 a good I don't know, is hesh I like wes Miller, 0:56:30.400 --> 0:56:34.160 but dude, it's time to go. You're not the only UC. 0:56:35.000 --> 0:56:37.640 The Bearcats need to look at it and say, Okay, 0:56:37.680 --> 0:56:39.920 we can't keep doing this. Wes Miller needs to look 0:56:39.960 --> 0:56:41.960 at it and say, I'm making a fool out of myself. 0:56:42.360 --> 0:56:44.839 I know there's a buy out here. Maybe they can 0:56:44.840 --> 0:56:48.080 split the gap. Maybe the agent gets involved and say, listen, 0:56:48.080 --> 0:56:52.400 my client is doing irreparable damage to his reputation currently 0:56:52.520 --> 0:56:55.600 and in the future. Now you need to insert some 0:56:55.760 --> 0:56:58.799 juice into the program and into the fan base. You 0:56:58.880 --> 0:57:01.399 need some help. Let's just do the right thing here, 0:57:01.840 --> 0:57:03.920 split the gap and go our separate way. 0:57:03.840 --> 0:57:06.720 Yes, because because you see the trajector of the Patino 0:57:06.719 --> 0:57:09.600 on the you know, a cross down cheetah, that there's energy, 0:57:09.600 --> 0:57:11.439 that's he's going to move that program for correct Yeah, 0:57:11.480 --> 0:57:12.399 and you don't have that year. 0:57:12.400 --> 0:57:14.960 And you've been way longer here at U see the 0:57:14.960 --> 0:57:17.400 same stuff is the issue. They can't score points. Wes 0:57:17.480 --> 0:57:19.800 Miller is broken, and he was a broken man last 0:57:19.880 --> 0:57:22.200 night on these airwaves, and he was a broken man 0:57:22.240 --> 0:57:24.160 last night in the tunnel talking to those fans in 0:57:24.160 --> 0:57:27.720 that video. It's sad, it really is, and I think 0:57:27.760 --> 0:57:29.400 it's just best for everybody to move on. 0:57:29.520 --> 0:57:33.160 Well, you know that's the EJA exactly. But again, Cincinnati, Now, 0:57:33.400 --> 0:57:35.640 I would say if if he just picked the wrong sport, 0:57:35.720 --> 0:57:38.840 if he were running our football program at the Bengals, 0:57:38.840 --> 0:57:41.320 he'd he'd be fine. Like Zach Taylor did. Never get 0:57:41.360 --> 0:57:43.520 rid of this guy anyway, I don't think that's true. 0:57:43.560 --> 0:57:46.400 I think it's true. Wes Miller has not been successful 0:57:46.440 --> 0:57:48.440 at anything. I know Zach Taylor at least has. It 0:57:48.480 --> 0:57:51.040 feels bengalish, it really does. I don't. I don't agree 0:57:51.040 --> 0:57:53.520 with that. Wes Miller has sucked. He hasn't done done anything. 0:57:53.560 --> 0:57:55.320 So they played the same thing, the same game for 0:57:55.400 --> 0:58:00.240 five years. We just can plays. There's no postseason, so 0:58:00.320 --> 0:58:05.000 advancement or what's driving as the boosters, right, yeah, and 0:58:05.000 --> 0:58:07.800 they're not happy. Yeah, well it's clearly not happy enough 0:58:08.520 --> 0:58:12.840 because they have I think the ultimate issues further up 0:58:12.880 --> 0:58:14.480 you go up the food chain is nobody at that 0:58:14.920 --> 0:58:17.400 nobody that's a Bearcat fan trust John Cunning him to 0:58:17.440 --> 0:58:19.360 make the right decision. To keep in mind, this is 0:58:19.400 --> 0:58:22.320 the guy who passed on Kurt Signetti and chose Scott 0:58:22.360 --> 0:58:25.920 Saderfield instead. So I just disagree with the Bengal thing. 0:58:25.960 --> 0:58:28.080 I don't think that's necessarily true. Let me pivot to 0:58:28.320 --> 0:58:31.200 U NFL football. We got Super Bowl Sunday, number sixty, 0:58:31.240 --> 0:58:33.400 I believe if you're counting, and of course it's the 0:58:33.440 --> 0:58:37.040 Patriots and the Seahawks and setting up for I just 0:58:37.160 --> 0:58:39.480 I don't know what which quarterback I trust more at 0:58:39.480 --> 0:58:42.000 this point, Like Sam Darnald couldn't figure out the second 0:58:42.000 --> 0:58:44.840 half and he did against the Rams, and then May 0:58:45.000 --> 0:58:48.640 is like just his stats for the postseason aren't very good, 0:58:48.680 --> 0:58:51.160 but they keep winning, So I ca, Yeah, I don't 0:58:51.200 --> 0:58:52.960 know which quarterback guy like more. 0:58:53.240 --> 0:58:56.320 It feels like if yeah, it feels like with Sam Darnold, 0:58:56.360 --> 0:58:58.400 you're just kind of waiting for that moment for him 0:58:58.440 --> 0:59:00.440 to like urinate down his leg. 0:59:00.560 --> 0:59:02.040 We've seen it over the course of his career. 0:59:02.080 --> 0:59:04.040 We saw it in the playoffs last year with Minnesota, 0:59:04.440 --> 0:59:06.200 and you're just kind of waiting for like, Okay, is 0:59:06.280 --> 0:59:08.560 this moment going to be too big for him? Is 0:59:08.600 --> 0:59:10.520 this all going to come in and crash and burn 0:59:10.560 --> 0:59:12.840 like we've seen with Sam Darnald in the past, and 0:59:12.880 --> 0:59:15.000 with Drake may you're like, Wow, this dude's only in 0:59:15.040 --> 0:59:17.200 his second year. He's turned the ball over a lot 0:59:17.240 --> 0:59:19.800 in the postseas, He's going up against an elite defense. 0:59:20.120 --> 0:59:22.200 Who do I really trust more? I think that's fair 0:59:22.280 --> 0:59:25.720 for me right now. I trust Sam Darnald Moore just 0:59:25.760 --> 0:59:28.160 because I think the Seahawks defense is going to create 0:59:28.200 --> 0:59:29.560 a lot of problems for Drake Mayo. 0:59:29.640 --> 0:59:29.800 Froun. 0:59:29.880 --> 0:59:31.400 He showed out in that last game that where he 0:59:31.400 --> 0:59:32.840 figured out in the second half and it was like, 0:59:33.080 --> 0:59:35.360 looked like the guy he was leading the team right. Sure, 0:59:35.720 --> 0:59:37.800 and Drake may at times looks like he's paralyzed. But 0:59:37.960 --> 0:59:40.600 you know, second year and some people are like, well, 0:59:40.600 --> 0:59:43.960 we'll see easy schedule. I get that that's fair kind 0:59:43.960 --> 0:59:46.280 of like with the exactly life Tom Dan Horris like 0:59:46.640 --> 0:59:48.640 feels exactly what the Bengals did against the Rams in 0:59:48.640 --> 0:59:50.120 Super Bowl, right, It's like they kind of came out 0:59:50.160 --> 0:59:52.680 of nowhere losing losing those off of a sudden boom, 0:59:53.000 --> 0:59:55.640 they surprise everybody in the league by making this great 0:59:55.680 --> 0:59:57.800 Super Bowl run and we're literally a blank away, a 0:59:57.840 --> 1:00:00.560 blank away from winning it all. It feels New England's 1:00:00.560 --> 1:00:02.800 doing that right now. Yeah, to an extent. I mean, 1:00:03.040 --> 1:00:04.360 Mike Rabel was a great coach. 1:00:04.440 --> 1:00:05.960 I think a lot of people thought they would have 1:00:06.040 --> 1:00:08.880 success sooner rather than later, especially when you consider the 1:00:08.920 --> 1:00:11.080 amount of money that they spent in free agency to 1:00:11.160 --> 1:00:14.400 rebuild the team, rebuild the coaching staff, brought back Josh 1:00:14.480 --> 1:00:17.000 McDaniels after what Drake May did last year. 1:00:17.000 --> 1:00:19.280 I think people were really high on him. So, yeah, 1:00:19.480 --> 1:00:21.080 there's a little bit of that, but I don't know 1:00:21.120 --> 1:00:24.720 that I would say I'm too surprised. Yeah, so we'll 1:00:24.760 --> 1:00:27.600 see what happens. I think upfront, obviously, in the trenches, 1:00:28.240 --> 1:00:30.160 if you look at you know, the Patriots got a 1:00:30.240 --> 1:00:33.840 rookie of their tackle that they got banged up, and 1:00:34.160 --> 1:00:35.640 you know, you look at Seattle and just when they've 1:00:35.680 --> 1:00:37.840 done their defense, man, they just roll at you in waves. 1:00:37.880 --> 1:00:40.040 I like watch the Patriots a lot this year because 1:00:40.080 --> 1:00:42.400 the AFC, especially being the easton stuff. I just I 1:00:42.440 --> 1:00:45.800 don't know how they can compete with him on defensively. Offensively, yeah, 1:00:45.800 --> 1:00:48.120 I mean Seattle's defense. I think dankl is the best 1:00:48.120 --> 1:00:51.360 in the National Football League. And what's especially interesting about 1:00:51.400 --> 1:00:53.000 them and why I think it'll be hard on Drake 1:00:53.080 --> 1:00:57.000 May is their propensity to blitz with the secondary. There's 1:00:57.040 --> 1:01:00.080 a young safety, a rookie safety by the name of 1:01:00.160 --> 1:01:03.360 nick Emon Warri. Now he injured his ankle earlier in practice, 1:01:03.400 --> 1:01:05.400 but he says he's gonna be good to go. He's 1:01:05.440 --> 1:01:08.600 got three sacks this year. As a whole, Seahawks defensive 1:01:08.600 --> 1:01:11.160 backs have six and a half or seven sacks this year. Ye, 1:01:11.400 --> 1:01:14.320 So that tells you they're not afraid to blitz defensive backs. 1:01:14.320 --> 1:01:16.160 They're not afraid to bring guys up at the line 1:01:16.200 --> 1:01:19.600 of scrimmage. That affects your protections, that affects your play calls, 1:01:19.600 --> 1:01:21.760 that affects what you do on a down and distance, 1:01:21.840 --> 1:01:25.160 like all sorts of trickle down effects. And then okay, 1:01:25.240 --> 1:01:27.080 we're gonna show eight guys at the line of scrimmage. 1:01:27.080 --> 1:01:28.800 We're gonna drop all light of them. We're gonna send 1:01:28.840 --> 1:01:31.440 all eight of them. You never know exactly what's gonna happen. 1:01:31.480 --> 1:01:33.520 I do think that there is a bit of an 1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:36.880 advantage for the Patriots because of Josh McDaniels and his 1:01:37.720 --> 1:01:40.560 experience in these situations. I mean, Josh has been to 1:01:40.640 --> 1:01:41.640 a lot of Super Bowls. 1:01:41.680 --> 1:01:43.720 He's had you know, Tom Brady there, and he's been 1:01:43.760 --> 1:01:46.680 with Mike Vrabel and like, this is nothing new to him. 1:01:46.760 --> 1:01:48.400 And I think he does a really good job of 1:01:48.440 --> 1:01:51.960 coaching Drake may through here's your answer for this, here's 1:01:51.960 --> 1:01:54.560 your answer for that, Here's what this motion's gonna tell you, 1:01:54.600 --> 1:01:57.080 this is what this formation is gonna show you, and 1:01:57.200 --> 1:01:59.360 giving him some of the answers to settle his brain 1:01:59.400 --> 1:02:01.160 a little bit of the line scrimmage. I think that'll 1:02:01.200 --> 1:02:03.800 be a fun chess match. But I still give the 1:02:04.200 --> 1:02:06.680 advantage to Seattle. Well, you can see they've been blitzing 1:02:06.680 --> 1:02:08.840 a lot in the playoffs too. Well, see if they 1:02:08.840 --> 1:02:10.120 can handle that, don't I don't think. 1:02:10.160 --> 1:02:12.080 I think by the third quarter, you know, when it 1:02:12.120 --> 1:02:13.800 starts to wear down, I think you're going to see 1:02:13.800 --> 1:02:16.760 them going and you know, now make and scramble. It's 1:02:16.920 --> 1:02:18.360 with the best of them, for sure, but you can't 1:02:18.360 --> 1:02:20.960 continue that and be successful in this game. 1:02:21.160 --> 1:02:23.600 I've heard a lot of talk this week about the 1:02:23.640 --> 1:02:26.880 ability for Drake May to run the football being the 1:02:26.920 --> 1:02:29.440 most important part of this game for the Patriots to win, 1:02:29.480 --> 1:02:31.840 and that's true. And if you think back to what 1:02:31.880 --> 1:02:35.680 I just said about those guys, if Drake May running 1:02:35.720 --> 1:02:39.600 the ball becomes an issue, well then if you're Seattle 1:02:39.600 --> 1:02:41.680 all of a sudden, that's one less guy that can blitz. 1:02:41.840 --> 1:02:44.080 That's one less guy that can rush the passer. That's 1:02:44.120 --> 1:02:46.520 one less guy that's back in pass coverage. If you 1:02:46.560 --> 1:02:48.959 have to put a spy on Drake May to try 1:02:48.960 --> 1:02:51.680 to contain him, and that can open some things up 1:02:51.680 --> 1:02:53.880 for the New England offense. So what I'm curious to 1:02:53.960 --> 1:02:57.240 know is early in the game, do the Patriots come 1:02:57.320 --> 1:03:00.280 up with some calls where they know Drake May's gonna 1:03:00.280 --> 1:03:03.400 tuck it and run just to make Seattle respect it, 1:03:03.600 --> 1:03:06.440 to make Seattle think about it sure, and to maybe 1:03:06.480 --> 1:03:10.440 influence their decision making. And that could be something that plays. 1:03:10.160 --> 1:03:12.160 A role later in the game. The Chestaman the number 1:03:12.200 --> 1:03:14.840 one run defense, Number four pass so you know they're 1:03:14.880 --> 1:03:16.920 solid up and down when it comes to their defense, 1:03:17.080 --> 1:03:19.040 How do they play? How the pets do you utilize 1:03:19.200 --> 1:03:22.960 Christian Gonzales. I mean, it's. 1:03:22.800 --> 1:03:25.800 Interesting because you've got Jackson Smith and Jigba, who just 1:03:25.840 --> 1:03:27.840 won Offensive Player of the Year last night. They made 1:03:27.880 --> 1:03:30.760 the mid season trade for Rashid Shaheed, who's been just 1:03:30.760 --> 1:03:33.800 a playmaker and explosive in that offense. You still have 1:03:33.880 --> 1:03:37.360 Cooper Cupp who is a very good receiver, Jake Bobo, 1:03:37.680 --> 1:03:39.560 who I think is a fun prop bet to score 1:03:39.640 --> 1:03:45.560 big play Bobo Christian Christian Gonzales is probably I would assume, 1:03:45.720 --> 1:03:48.120 going to follow Jackson Smith and jig But everywhere he 1:03:48.200 --> 1:03:51.640 goes and here's what's been great about Seattle, They've moved 1:03:51.720 --> 1:03:55.280 him around. He's been in the backfield for almost seven 1:03:55.360 --> 1:03:57.880 percent of his snaps in the postseason. That's a lot 1:03:58.000 --> 1:04:00.360 for a wide receiver. And he's caught a lot of 1:04:00.400 --> 1:04:03.000 passes on those snaps in which he's been in the backfield, 1:04:03.040 --> 1:04:06.520 including a touchdown in the NFC Championship game. So when 1:04:06.560 --> 1:04:09.880 you you have these base rules and assignments for everybody 1:04:09.920 --> 1:04:12.320 on defense, and it can really get thrown into a 1:04:12.360 --> 1:04:14.240 tizzy when the best player on the field is in 1:04:14.280 --> 1:04:17.280 the backfield in Jackson Smith and Jigba. I would assume 1:04:17.360 --> 1:04:19.360 Christian Gonzalez is going to follow him around and try 1:04:19.400 --> 1:04:20.480 to neutralize him the best he can. 1:04:20.640 --> 1:04:22.400 Spreads four and a half. Do you feel that about right? 1:04:22.720 --> 1:04:22.880 Uh? 1:04:22.960 --> 1:04:25.680 Yeah, I think Seattle's I think Seattle's gonna win by 1:04:25.680 --> 1:04:27.880 ten plus. Yeah. Yeah, I think they easily covered this 1:04:28.000 --> 1:04:30.080 quite honestly, I think that's I think that's underestimating. And 1:04:30.080 --> 1:04:32.080 I really really do forty I was a forty five. 1:04:32.160 --> 1:04:34.640 The uh you know, I don't. I don't know the 1:04:34.680 --> 1:04:36.920 over under. I've not looked at then. I'd look at it. 1:04:36.920 --> 1:04:38.520 I thought I've read that earlier. Today it's like the 1:04:38.520 --> 1:04:41.600 lowest it's been since, lowest points since and maybe in 1:04:41.600 --> 1:04:42.000 ten years. 1:04:42.040 --> 1:04:44.000 I think it'll be a slow start. I think it'll 1:04:44.040 --> 1:04:47.080 be like kind of a slow, boring first quarter. We'll 1:04:47.120 --> 1:04:49.360 pick it up in that middle eight, the four minutes 1:04:49.400 --> 1:04:51.800 going into halftime, the four minutes coming out of halftime, 1:04:52.200 --> 1:04:53.760 and then it'll be up to the defenses at the 1:04:53.800 --> 1:04:56.240 end of the game. But I think I think Seattle 1:04:56.360 --> 1:04:59.160 is just like a Boa constrictor, like once they take 1:04:59.240 --> 1:05:02.000 some points on the and maybe they get you from behind, 1:05:02.480 --> 1:05:04.880 it can really be difficult if. 1:05:04.680 --> 1:05:08.640 They're forty five and a half, by the way told us, Yeah, 1:05:08.680 --> 1:05:10.880 I mean if they're they're behind, or they're ahead by 1:05:10.880 --> 1:05:12.440 a couple of scores. I think they just go into 1:05:12.440 --> 1:05:15.600 that really conservative, Like you said, just protect the ball, 1:05:15.760 --> 1:05:18.200 protect a score, because it's gonna be tougher in O 1:05:18.200 --> 1:05:20.040 England to score for I'm going to make a mistake, 1:05:20.080 --> 1:05:23.320 which Drake may might. Yeah, the quarterback balls Sam Donald 1:05:23.320 --> 1:05:26.520 and Drake may though, to see which guy blinks. Somebody's 1:05:26.560 --> 1:05:28.360 gonna blink. I would think at this point, right, I 1:05:28.360 --> 1:05:30.440 feel better about Sam Darnold than I do Drake made 1:05:30.640 --> 1:05:31.160 being the guy. 1:05:31.280 --> 1:05:33.240 Yeah, I'm right there with you. It was just the 1:05:33.320 --> 1:05:37.920 experience and the better defense. Now, I do think, and 1:05:37.960 --> 1:05:40.919 I've said, the coaching staff and the experience that those 1:05:40.960 --> 1:05:43.720 guys in New England have of just this is nothing 1:05:43.760 --> 1:05:46.280 new to them, I think can create a sense of 1:05:46.360 --> 1:05:49.040 calm for the rest of those players. But you know, 1:05:49.120 --> 1:05:51.640 if you never played in the Super Bowl before, you're 1:05:51.640 --> 1:05:54.240 sitting there looking around saying, holy crap, this is the 1:05:54.240 --> 1:05:57.080 super Bowl. That's gonna have an effect on human about that. 1:05:57.160 --> 1:05:59.520 So yeah, but all those young players on that New 1:05:59.520 --> 1:06:00.160 England team. 1:06:00.200 --> 1:06:02.920 Yeah yeah, and ius some of us talking head the 1:06:02.920 --> 1:06:05.400 other I forget it was about the uh yeah, well 1:06:05.440 --> 1:06:07.120 New England's been there so many times. It's like, yeah, 1:06:07.200 --> 1:06:09.080 the guy's the coach, the guy's playing it. 1:06:09.520 --> 1:06:12.920 It's like, yeah, that was. It doesn't matter, That's what 1:06:12.920 --> 1:06:15.880 I'm saying. Like everybody there is different. You know, Mike 1:06:15.960 --> 1:06:18.440 Vrabel can become the first coach ever to start a 1:06:18.480 --> 1:06:20.320 Super Bowl and win, and be the head coach of 1:06:20.320 --> 1:06:22.840 a Super Bowl and win for the same franchise. That's 1:06:22.840 --> 1:06:25.520 what I'm saying him, Josh McDaniel, some of those other 1:06:25.560 --> 1:06:28.640 guys that can be there to just kind of settle 1:06:28.680 --> 1:06:31.520 the nerves and get these guys through Super Bowl Week 1:06:31.560 --> 1:06:34.360 and into the game, I think can be important. And 1:06:34.440 --> 1:06:37.480 by the way, Sam Darnold was a backup to Rock 1:06:37.520 --> 1:06:39.160 Perty in the Super Bowl just a couple of years 1:06:39.160 --> 1:06:41.320 ago at the San Francisco forty nine ers, and he 1:06:41.400 --> 1:06:43.160 talked about that a little bit this week, of just 1:06:43.200 --> 1:06:45.240 like being able to tell guys what to expect even 1:06:45.280 --> 1:06:47.560 though he didn't play in the game, all the stuff 1:06:47.600 --> 1:06:50.120 that happens throughout the week and what to expect. I 1:06:50.120 --> 1:06:53.640 think that's that stuff is important for these abnormal weeks. 1:06:53.880 --> 1:06:55.920 Six point thirty is a kickoff. Will have it for 1:06:55.960 --> 1:06:59.480 you here on seven hundred w ALW. Also, where are 1:06:59.520 --> 1:07:00.880 you on Bad Bunny? Do you care? 1:07:01.560 --> 1:07:01.800 Uh? 1:07:01.840 --> 1:07:02.240 I don't. 1:07:02.360 --> 1:07:04.640 I don't really care. I think he makes some like 1:07:04.800 --> 1:07:08.240 fun music that is like when you're at the gym 1:07:08.320 --> 1:07:10.360 or if you're going on a run, like it keeps 1:07:10.360 --> 1:07:10.800 you moving. 1:07:11.040 --> 1:07:13.800 Personally. I don't speak Spanish, so I don't really know 1:07:13.800 --> 1:07:15.960 what he's saying. Uh Spanish. 1:07:16.000 --> 1:07:19.480 I don't listen to a lot of his his music. 1:07:19.560 --> 1:07:22.600 But I don't think it's like necessarily bad. No, I 1:07:22.680 --> 1:07:24.640 just think I think he will put on a really 1:07:24.640 --> 1:07:25.160 good show. 1:07:25.520 --> 1:07:27.760 Yeah. I don't know how big the outcry if it's 1:07:27.760 --> 1:07:30.040 just people being extremely loud about how angry they are 1:07:30.080 --> 1:07:32.160 about this and why it's an issue, because you know, 1:07:32.160 --> 1:07:33.520 as I've said all day, you know you're trying to 1:07:33.640 --> 1:07:35.880 peel to a different audience. It's you can't get more 1:07:35.920 --> 1:07:38.160 people in America to watch football. Y're watching it. It's 1:07:38.200 --> 1:07:41.320 completely and utterly saturated. Other than you go after young people, 1:07:41.320 --> 1:07:43.320 which they do with flag football and women's sports and 1:07:43.360 --> 1:07:45.720 things like that, breaking out us like Bad Bunny. But 1:07:45.760 --> 1:07:48.720 the expansion is to Latin America. You got Europe, you 1:07:48.760 --> 1:07:50.600 got Latin America. And you know you have a guy 1:07:50.600 --> 1:07:52.720 who just won Best Element Grammys. Yeah, one of the 1:07:52.760 --> 1:07:57.280 most downloaded guy on on on streaming. And though that 1:07:57.320 --> 1:07:58.920 makes sense with the NFL, if you want to expand 1:07:58.920 --> 1:08:00.720 that brand, that's what's about. Is about increasing market share. 1:08:00.760 --> 1:08:03.160 You're going to do that in America by having you know, 1:08:03.400 --> 1:08:04.240 Aerosmith on. 1:08:04.400 --> 1:08:04.600 Yeah. 1:08:04.640 --> 1:08:07.560 I think just because you may not know who somebody 1:08:07.640 --> 1:08:09.680 is doesn't mean that they make bad music. 1:08:10.520 --> 1:08:12.840 Well, I think it's political statements he's made against the Ice. 1:08:12.880 --> 1:08:15.200 But I get I get that. Becaueah, It's like, I 1:08:15.200 --> 1:08:15.760 don't really care. 1:08:15.840 --> 1:08:17.559 It's fine that there have been a lot of artists 1:08:17.560 --> 1:08:19.600 that have made political statements over the years. 1:08:19.640 --> 1:08:22.640 It's pretty common. I mean, Bruce Springsteen just released a 1:08:22.680 --> 1:08:25.000 new song like it's how kid Rock is somebody who's 1:08:25.040 --> 1:08:27.479 made a lot of political statements in the bad Yeah, 1:08:27.520 --> 1:08:30.600 Like it's it's not abnormal, it's it's pretty common. But 1:08:31.320 --> 1:08:33.200 opportunities to do that all the time. You don't go 1:08:33.280 --> 1:08:36.559 watch the kid rock thing or watch the puppy bawl. 1:08:36.640 --> 1:08:38.559 Yeah that's the other thing. That's the other thing. 1:08:38.600 --> 1:08:42.040 I don't know if people realize this, but the Super 1:08:42.040 --> 1:08:45.519 Bowl halftime, you don't have to watch it, correct, Like, 1:08:45.640 --> 1:08:48.040 if you're not interested in Bad Bunny, think about this. 1:08:48.120 --> 1:08:52.280 You get an extended halftime. You can go digest everything 1:08:52.280 --> 1:08:54.679 that happened in the first half in the bathroom. 1:08:54.720 --> 1:08:56.040 I don't yes, you know what I mean. 1:08:56.320 --> 1:08:59.280 You can go refill your snacks, you can go get 1:08:59.280 --> 1:09:01.880 an extra beer, you can go do whatever it is 1:09:01.920 --> 1:09:03.360 you need to do. Maybe get a little work done 1:09:03.400 --> 1:09:05.360 on Monday, so you go in late and sleep and 1:09:05.840 --> 1:09:06.360 you do it. 1:09:06.400 --> 1:09:08.960 You got the extra time. You don't have to watch, right, 1:09:09.080 --> 1:09:13.840 I used to have. You know, Okay, I don't like 1:09:13.960 --> 1:09:15.800 Okay this song is said. Okay, that's when I go 1:09:15.840 --> 1:09:17.720 bow out, get another plate full of drink, go to 1:09:17.800 --> 1:09:19.160 the bathroom. Yeah, that's what. That's what. 1:09:19.680 --> 1:09:22.760 It is, not a prerequisite to watching the game to 1:09:22.920 --> 1:09:26.599 have to watch the halftime show. But everyone people love 1:09:26.720 --> 1:09:29.439 to complain. That's what it is. Everywe so polarized. People 1:09:29.479 --> 1:09:31.479 just will be pissed off for no reason whatsoever. It's like, 1:09:31.760 --> 1:09:34.439 you know, don't watch it, and just a reminder. And 1:09:34.479 --> 1:09:37.479 this goes beyond bad Bunny. Just because you don't know 1:09:37.560 --> 1:09:41.440 who someone is, doesn't mean that they make bad music. 1:09:43.479 --> 1:09:44.280 Downloaded artists. 1:09:44.320 --> 1:09:47.639 So clearly people in and around this radio station who 1:09:47.880 --> 1:09:50.120 don't know and have never heard of the most popular 1:09:50.160 --> 1:09:53.800 artists in America, so they assume that their music is bad. 1:09:55.080 --> 1:09:59.680 No, but he probably qualifies today with Tony. You're talking 1:09:59.680 --> 1:10:02.519 about t Pike. Tony Pike today at noon on ESPN 1:10:02.600 --> 1:10:04.720 fifteen thirty and one of those two guys anyway, Yeah, 1:10:04.720 --> 1:10:06.360 I don't I know, like one of the songs, but like, 1:10:06.400 --> 1:10:09.639 I don't really care. Yeah, No one's forcing you to care. 1:10:09.960 --> 1:10:10.479 I don't care. 1:10:10.960 --> 1:10:14.040 I also don't care about Bad Bunny's political beliefs. I 1:10:14.040 --> 1:10:17.880 don't just like I don't care about Scott Sloan's political wife. 1:10:18.240 --> 1:10:21.240 I don't care about Dave Keaton's political beliefs do. I 1:10:21.360 --> 1:10:24.200 just don't care? You know what I care about? Hitting 1:10:24.200 --> 1:10:25.640 the News seven hundred. 1:10:25.400 --> 1:10:33.040 WLW Friday Morning, Scott's Loan Show, seven hundred WLW. New 1:10:33.080 --> 1:10:35.680 polling coming out showing you about two thirds of Americans 1:10:35.720 --> 1:10:39.000 think that Congress did the wrong thing by not extending 1:10:39.000 --> 1:10:42.760 the Obama Care subsidies at the end of the year 1:10:42.960 --> 1:10:46.720 last year. And so to counter that, President Trump is 1:10:46.840 --> 1:10:49.880 rolling out his Trump Our ex website At the same time, 1:10:49.920 --> 1:10:52.479 Congress is still hammering out trying to figure out what 1:10:52.640 --> 1:10:55.800 the rest of their health healthcare plan will look like, 1:10:56.080 --> 1:10:58.840 if at all, and if it solves the problems, because 1:10:58.840 --> 1:11:02.040 it's got to be better than the Affordable Care Act otherwise, 1:11:02.080 --> 1:11:04.160 what's the point of this whole thing. Joining the show 1:11:04.200 --> 1:11:07.800 is Dean Clancy of Americans for Prosperity and let's get 1:11:07.800 --> 1:11:10.520 a lay of the land and rehash what the Republicans 1:11:10.560 --> 1:11:12.880 are talking about where things stand right now. Dean, welcome back. 1:11:12.880 --> 1:11:13.280 How are you. 1:11:13.600 --> 1:11:14.639 I'm doing great? Thanks. 1:11:15.080 --> 1:11:18.680 We can all agree that our healthcare system sucks. I 1:11:18.720 --> 1:11:20.439 believe when you put it in this you put it 1:11:20.520 --> 1:11:22.920 to me, the end product is it's just it's simply 1:11:23.000 --> 1:11:25.360 not good. And we've talked about this in the past. 1:11:25.400 --> 1:11:28.640 And you know, the idea that subsidies are a great alternative, 1:11:28.680 --> 1:11:31.360 I think it's more of a band aid patch. Why 1:11:31.400 --> 1:11:35.080 can't moderates get this done? And what's the resistance from 1:11:35.160 --> 1:11:37.479 the other side of the party here. 1:11:39.360 --> 1:11:44.360 Well, this whole issue of the expiring extra Obamacare or subsidies, 1:11:44.400 --> 1:11:46.360 which has been you know, at the top of the 1:11:47.200 --> 1:11:51.479 news now for months, has been driven by Democrats and 1:11:52.040 --> 1:11:55.639 the press and looks on the left who smell an 1:11:55.680 --> 1:12:00.240 opportunity to put Republicans on the defensive and twenty twenty 1:12:00.720 --> 1:12:05.080 and basically blame the high cost of healthcare on the GOP, 1:12:05.720 --> 1:12:09.120 which is a pretty amazing thing to try to do, 1:12:10.840 --> 1:12:13.960 since the high cost is really due to Obama Care, 1:12:14.080 --> 1:12:18.599 which is a completely Democratic Party creation. Modern Republicans who 1:12:18.640 --> 1:12:22.040 wanted to extend the subsidies. 1:12:22.200 --> 1:12:23.599 Were never able to. 1:12:25.640 --> 1:12:28.840 Solve some of the very simple practical problems, like how 1:12:28.880 --> 1:12:32.920 do you extend the subsidies without extending all the fraud 1:12:33.080 --> 1:12:36.839 and waste, the fake Social Security numbers, the phantom and rollees, 1:12:36.920 --> 1:12:42.920 and all the problems that the extra subsidies fueled. I 1:12:42.920 --> 1:12:45.479 think they realized they needed to do something, and they 1:12:45.520 --> 1:12:48.439 put some token reforms in. They also never dealt with 1:12:48.479 --> 1:12:52.479 the fact that the pro life community has said, well, 1:12:52.840 --> 1:12:57.280 any extension has to add protections so that there's no 1:12:57.439 --> 1:13:02.120 taxpayer funding of abortion in this plan. Republicans basically just 1:13:02.280 --> 1:13:06.360 ignored that, which that makes the bill a non starter 1:13:06.640 --> 1:13:09.479 in Congress with all the pro life members. And then 1:13:09.520 --> 1:13:12.960 you have a Speaker Johnson saying sure, I'll let the 1:13:13.040 --> 1:13:16.479 House vote on an extension, but you do need to 1:13:16.520 --> 1:13:18.640 pay for it, you need to offset the cost, and 1:13:18.840 --> 1:13:22.040 moderate Republicans said, no, no, no, no, we just want 1:13:22.080 --> 1:13:24.080 to extend the subsidies. We don't want to pay for it. 1:13:24.320 --> 1:13:29.600 We'll Uncle Sam's credit card. So they weren't serious in 1:13:29.640 --> 1:13:32.800 a sense. They were played by the Democrats who have 1:13:32.960 --> 1:13:38.479 disingenuously pretended that they want to continue the subsidies and 1:13:38.520 --> 1:13:42.160 prevent what they describe. I think they exaggerate as some 1:13:42.320 --> 1:13:45.080 kind of premium. 1:13:44.400 --> 1:13:47.360 Increase of pos. They want an issue. 1:13:47.600 --> 1:13:52.000 They want to blame the failures of Obamacare on the Republican. 1:13:51.479 --> 1:13:54.160 Party and on that, and we've talked about this in 1:13:54.160 --> 1:13:56.200 the past. The fact of matter is you're just you know, 1:13:56.280 --> 1:13:58.120 it's a subsidy, fast is what it is. And if 1:13:58.120 --> 1:14:00.479 you subsidize anything, you're just covering up the true cost. 1:14:00.479 --> 1:14:03.879 You're giving people a coupon a voucher basically, which ingratiates 1:14:03.880 --> 1:14:07.040 them with government and elected officials. Obviously, so politicians on 1:14:07.080 --> 1:14:09.720 the left get reelect and elected for that. But it 1:14:09.760 --> 1:14:12.559 doesn't solve the main issue, which is why is healthcare 1:14:12.600 --> 1:14:15.120 so afford unaffordable in the first place for most people? 1:14:15.160 --> 1:14:17.200 And that number is growing now. I did see some 1:14:17.240 --> 1:14:19.599 surveys it said if you have private health care insurance, 1:14:19.600 --> 1:14:22.000 which is the bulk of America. You seem to be 1:14:22.000 --> 1:14:24.639 pretty happy with that. But the problem there and then 1:14:24.720 --> 1:14:27.599 lies is the diminishing number of companies offering healthcare. I mean, 1:14:27.600 --> 1:14:30.160 at some point the scale's going to tip the other way. 1:14:30.200 --> 1:14:34.759 What then, Well, you're absolutely right about that. The number 1:14:34.760 --> 1:14:40.880 of companies employers offering healthcare has been shrinking under Obamacare. 1:14:40.920 --> 1:14:45.680 It's been very gradual, more so recently. And actually the 1:14:45.720 --> 1:14:50.360 Paragon Health Institute put out a paper recently where they 1:14:50.400 --> 1:14:54.120 noted that if the subsidies are extended, the extra COVID 1:14:54.160 --> 1:15:00.479 era money, it will actually accenterate the decline in small 1:15:00.520 --> 1:15:04.240 businesses offering insurance to their employees. Small businesses are really 1:15:05.000 --> 1:15:05.839 really hurt. 1:15:05.680 --> 1:15:07.040 By the high cost of healthcare. 1:15:07.080 --> 1:15:10.960 They find it hard to offer, you know, coverage to 1:15:11.000 --> 1:15:16.720 their employees. And and you know, Obamacare has become so 1:15:16.920 --> 1:15:21.759 much more generous than the federal subsidy for workplace coverage 1:15:21.760 --> 1:15:25.639 that it's like the employee for these employers, that's it's 1:15:25.640 --> 1:15:28.960 a real easy call. They'll just stop offering health address 1:15:29.040 --> 1:15:30.240 to their employees right. 1:15:30.200 --> 1:15:33.280 Right, which undermines the whole system. Like Obamacare is like 1:15:33.320 --> 1:15:35.920 the idea was, Hey, we get enough young people to 1:15:35.960 --> 1:15:38.160 pay for the older people who use care more then 1:15:38.240 --> 1:15:41.240 that that's fine, But so many young people because of 1:15:41.680 --> 1:15:44.400 because the economy, look at it, go, well, you know what, 1:15:44.439 --> 1:15:46.920 I'm perfectly healthy. I'm not going to subscribe to this. 1:15:47.000 --> 1:15:48.920 I'm not going to pay into a system that I 1:15:48.960 --> 1:15:51.240 may not have to take benefits out for some time 1:15:51.280 --> 1:15:53.840 if ever. That's all well and good, but it doesn't 1:15:53.880 --> 1:15:56.080 keep the system afloat. And so it's a Ponzi scheme, 1:15:56.160 --> 1:15:56.680 is what it is. 1:15:58.040 --> 1:15:59.080 Yeah, yeah, that's right. 1:15:59.160 --> 1:16:02.320 For Democrats, it's all about the ultimate goal of putting 1:16:02.360 --> 1:16:07.640 the government completely in charge of our healthcare. And you know, 1:16:07.720 --> 1:16:11.559 so they they like to cause crises and then exploit 1:16:11.600 --> 1:16:14.479 the crises, and in some ways that's what they're doing now. 1:16:14.560 --> 1:16:18.000 Now on the you know, on the bright side, the Republicans, 1:16:18.040 --> 1:16:21.840 in addition to not buckling to call this pressure to 1:16:22.400 --> 1:16:26.160 in a sense, bail out Obamacare and continue masking its failures, 1:16:26.320 --> 1:16:30.880 the Democrats plan does not reduce health insurance premiums by 1:16:30.880 --> 1:16:35.040 a penny. Expanding Obamacare, bailing it out, does not reduce 1:16:35.120 --> 1:16:38.560 the cost of healthcare, just masks it. And you know, 1:16:38.640 --> 1:16:42.200 there's some good stuff in the Republican build things like 1:16:42.600 --> 1:16:46.560 association health plans, which you know, enable small businesses to 1:16:46.640 --> 1:16:51.559 group together so they can get large group discount rates, 1:16:51.880 --> 1:16:55.160 and that should lower premiums for those businesses by like 1:16:55.320 --> 1:17:00.640 thirty percent for their employees. There's also a provision in 1:17:00.680 --> 1:17:05.960 the bill that would end some of the inflationary waste 1:17:06.360 --> 1:17:11.320 in the Obamacare system where the insurers are basically incentivized 1:17:11.360 --> 1:17:17.120 to bloat their premiums at taxpayer expense, and that would 1:17:17.520 --> 1:17:21.400 not only save thirty billion dollars over ten years, but 1:17:21.479 --> 1:17:26.639 it would reduce Obamacare premiums generally by eleven percent. Again, 1:17:26.720 --> 1:17:30.759 the Democrat plan doesn't help those people at all, except 1:17:31.200 --> 1:17:33.599 with massive taxpayer. 1:17:34.680 --> 1:17:34.800 Thing. 1:17:34.840 --> 1:17:37.160 Here's the thing, do you know, I just saw new 1:17:37.360 --> 1:17:39.759 study numbers here, poll numbers, and they've been pretty consistent 1:17:40.280 --> 1:17:44.679 that independence especially factor into this as well. But something 1:17:44.760 --> 1:17:47.040 right around sixty percent, So six out of ten people 1:17:47.080 --> 1:17:49.800 who are on the ACA think it works fine, that 1:17:49.840 --> 1:17:54.320 they actually like the Obamacare and their healthcare. And overall, 1:17:54.600 --> 1:17:58.240 two thirds of Americans believe Congress did the wrong thing 1:17:58.680 --> 1:18:00.760 by founding to extend the Obama subsidies. 1:18:01.479 --> 1:18:05.280 Well, it's true that look in any health insurance subsidy scheme. 1:18:05.680 --> 1:18:07.840 Most people are probably going to like it because most 1:18:07.840 --> 1:18:10.120 people are healthy most of the time. They don't actually 1:18:10.120 --> 1:18:12.960 have to use the insurance. If it's a bad system 1:18:13.280 --> 1:18:16.360 like one of these socialized medicine systems in Britain and 1:18:16.400 --> 1:18:19.080 Canada and so on, most people say it's great because 1:18:19.400 --> 1:18:21.439 they never have to interact with it. It's only when 1:18:21.439 --> 1:18:24.160 they do that they begin to see the serious claws 1:18:24.200 --> 1:18:28.040 of government run healthcare. But you know you mentioned sixty percent. 1:18:28.080 --> 1:18:30.880 I'll give you a statistics. Sixty percent of the people 1:18:30.880 --> 1:18:34.719 who are on Obamacare, now we'll be able to find 1:18:35.760 --> 1:18:39.439 a plan that costs them less than fifty dollars a month, 1:18:39.560 --> 1:18:42.599 less than two dollars a day. And yet we're told 1:18:43.040 --> 1:18:45.680 this is a premium apocalypse. I think we're going to 1:18:45.720 --> 1:18:50.120 find that the reports of you know, the tsunami, the 1:18:50.160 --> 1:18:52.840 apocalypse were greatly exaggerated. 1:18:53.120 --> 1:18:55.040 Probably hopefully, Probably that will. 1:18:54.920 --> 1:19:00.439 Encourage Republicans to keep trying to reform healthcare and health 1:19:00.439 --> 1:19:03.400 savings accounts. In fact, we got fifty one Senators to 1:19:04.040 --> 1:19:08.120 vote to let people who are on Obamacare take part 1:19:08.120 --> 1:19:12.920 of their subsidy as a deposit to a health savings account, 1:19:13.120 --> 1:19:15.880 so instead of that money going to an insurer, it's 1:19:15.920 --> 1:19:18.080 going to use the patient and you can decide what 1:19:18.240 --> 1:19:22.759 care and doctors you want to buy without insurance company meddling. 1:19:22.840 --> 1:19:25.760 That's the future of American healthcare in our view, with 1:19:25.800 --> 1:19:29.080 Americans for Prosperity fund patients not insures. 1:19:29.720 --> 1:19:33.120 Yeah, he's deemed clancy at Americans for Prosperity just getting 1:19:33.120 --> 1:19:35.759 to check up on our healthcare system or deeply broken 1:19:35.800 --> 1:19:38.720 healthcare system two thirds of American things. Congress did the 1:19:38.720 --> 1:19:41.200 wrong thing by failing to extend the Obamacare subsidies, and 1:19:41.240 --> 1:19:43.639 that is just a coupon. I will point out that 1:19:43.680 --> 1:19:46.200 Trump's the Trump Our ex Plan is just like good 1:19:46.240 --> 1:19:48.000 our X. It's a coupon, is what it is. Doesn't 1:19:48.040 --> 1:19:51.479 really solve the Affordability Act itself. And I get it. 1:19:51.520 --> 1:19:54.360 You know, you give people money. Technically it should drive 1:19:54.400 --> 1:19:57.680 down costs because of you know, better competitional Like one 1:19:57.680 --> 1:20:00.240 of the things in there though, is you know, the 1:20:00.280 --> 1:20:04.759 fundy cost share reductions and price transparency. But Trump issued 1:20:04.800 --> 1:20:07.160 an executive order and price transparency what back in twenty 1:20:07.240 --> 1:20:11.080 ninety so six years ago, and those are posting prices, 1:20:11.080 --> 1:20:15.400 but we're not seeing meaningful cost reduction. So if history 1:20:15.479 --> 1:20:18.880 is a indicator of future behavior. Is this really gonna matter, Dean. 1:20:20.439 --> 1:20:24.040 Well, we absolutely need price transparency, especially if we don't. 1:20:24.080 --> 1:20:26.240 But they're not doing it. That's the price, even with 1:20:26.240 --> 1:20:26.840 one's order. 1:20:28.280 --> 1:20:30.479 No, that's right, they're actually you said they're complying, but 1:20:30.600 --> 1:20:34.680 really they're they're not. They're they're putting out garbled information, 1:20:34.840 --> 1:20:37.599 they're hiding it on their websites. They're making it so 1:20:37.720 --> 1:20:39.080 you can't compare. 1:20:38.720 --> 1:20:39.840 With their competitors. 1:20:40.760 --> 1:20:45.960 The Trump's hospital price transparency mandate really has not worked. 1:20:46.000 --> 1:20:49.320 And this confirmed something that we had afp of long belief, 1:20:49.320 --> 1:20:52.560 which is you don't get price transparency through government mandates. 1:20:52.920 --> 1:20:56.479 You get it from markets, and markets happen when the 1:20:56.600 --> 1:20:59.599 consumer controls the dollars, just like in the gas station 1:20:59.720 --> 1:21:04.080 or the transparent prices there. Why, because everybody's walking in 1:21:04.120 --> 1:21:07.760 caring cash, they demand to see the prices. That's how 1:21:07.800 --> 1:21:10.160 you'll get it in healthcare too, And that's why we 1:21:10.200 --> 1:21:13.360 want everyone to have a health savings account and to 1:21:13.400 --> 1:21:18.160 be able to have insurance free options or options that 1:21:18.240 --> 1:21:21.320 are supplemental to insurance where you don't have some third 1:21:21.320 --> 1:21:22.639 party paying the bill. 1:21:22.760 --> 1:21:23.599 You pay the bill. 1:21:23.880 --> 1:21:27.360 And when that happens, prices become transparent, naturally. 1:21:27.600 --> 1:21:31.200 Right, But still the problem, of course is health care affordability. 1:21:31.240 --> 1:21:33.040 This may drive some of the costs down. I mean, 1:21:33.040 --> 1:21:36.400 we just talked about Trump's order price transparency, which is 1:21:36.439 --> 1:21:38.880 not working. I'll hold my breath and see if this 1:21:38.920 --> 1:21:41.559 plan actually lowers prices. In theory it may. But what 1:21:41.640 --> 1:21:44.240 do you tell someone who's losing or lost their health 1:21:44.240 --> 1:21:47.719 care because the funding has expired. I get why subsidies exist, 1:21:47.760 --> 1:21:49.880 and I hate them as much as you do. But 1:21:49.960 --> 1:21:52.479 for someone who otherwise can't afford health insurance and you 1:21:52.479 --> 1:21:54.160 look at it, going, well, they're going to take this 1:21:54.200 --> 1:21:56.120 away from me, where do you go? What do you do? 1:21:56.560 --> 1:21:58.840 It's not about giving you your dollars back in a 1:21:58.840 --> 1:22:00.880 life because so many people are making choice these days 1:22:00.880 --> 1:22:03.960 and going I just simply can't afford healthcare, or you're younger, 1:22:04.040 --> 1:22:06.320 which is the big problem with Obamacare, and I'm not 1:22:06.360 --> 1:22:07.960 going to pay into the system at all. If I 1:22:08.000 --> 1:22:10.680 get really, really sick, I'll go to the hospital and 1:22:10.680 --> 1:22:12.280 I have to treat me. They have no choice. I 1:22:12.280 --> 1:22:14.040 think a lot of people are seeing that as the 1:22:14.120 --> 1:22:18.320 nuclear option, so to speak. Doesn't that undermine the whole system? 1:22:18.720 --> 1:22:19.240 It does? 1:22:19.360 --> 1:22:22.120 And you've put your finger on the real question, which 1:22:22.160 --> 1:22:27.639 is healthcare affordability. The folks who are going to be 1:22:28.400 --> 1:22:30.120 receiving smaller. 1:22:29.680 --> 1:22:32.080 Subsidies, by the way, it's still going to be very generous. 1:22:32.280 --> 1:22:34.880 Obamacare is still going to cover like eighty percent of 1:22:34.960 --> 1:22:37.040 the cost of your health insurance policy, which is a 1:22:37.040 --> 1:22:41.240 pretty nice deal. But for those who are negatively affected, 1:22:42.240 --> 1:22:45.000 some of you know, they have options. For example, some 1:22:45.080 --> 1:22:49.559 can just switch to a less costly insurance plan. You know, 1:22:50.560 --> 1:22:52.439 you have a menu of plans you can choose from. 1:22:52.479 --> 1:22:56.520 Maybe you downgrade from with a called silver to bronze, 1:22:56.880 --> 1:23:00.439 and so you still have insurance, but it costs you less. 1:23:00.760 --> 1:23:04.400 Number of the people that are affected actually have access 1:23:04.439 --> 1:23:08.760 to workplace insurance, either directly or through a spouse. And 1:23:09.160 --> 1:23:12.120 there are even some who are eligible and sometimes even 1:23:12.240 --> 1:23:16.920 enrolled on Medicaid, the program for low income of folks. 1:23:17.439 --> 1:23:19.760 That's not technically not lawful. You're not supposed to be 1:23:19.800 --> 1:23:22.840 on both Obamacare and Medicaid simultaneously, but it turns out 1:23:22.880 --> 1:23:25.799 there are millions of people who are because the government 1:23:26.240 --> 1:23:30.680 does not police it well. The real hard cases are 1:23:30.720 --> 1:23:32.799 going to be the folks who make more than about 1:23:32.960 --> 1:23:36.559 for an individual, about sixty thousand dollars a year. That's 1:23:36.840 --> 1:23:39.679 the anecdotes you're going to see in the headlines because 1:23:39.720 --> 1:23:41.280 some of them are going to see a really big 1:23:41.840 --> 1:23:44.080 increase in out of pocket why because they're going to 1:23:44.160 --> 1:23:48.200 lose their subsidy altogether. These are folks that Democrats, you know, 1:23:48.240 --> 1:23:51.000 four years ago, thought shouldn't get any subsidy at all. 1:23:51.360 --> 1:23:54.800 But they're going to be the sob stories. But those 1:23:54.840 --> 1:23:58.160 people represent just one half of one percent of the 1:23:58.280 --> 1:24:01.360 US population. I do think they are going to need 1:24:01.600 --> 1:24:04.280 some kind of help, But expanding Obamacare is not. 1:24:04.280 --> 1:24:05.200 The way to do it. 1:24:05.280 --> 1:24:08.320 Better to do the things like Republicans are proposing to 1:24:08.400 --> 1:24:12.440 bring actually bring down the price of health insurance for everybody, 1:24:12.479 --> 1:24:16.120 not just the seven percent of Americans who are on Obamacare, 1:24:16.160 --> 1:24:19.400 but for the ninety three percent as well. 1:24:19.160 --> 1:24:21.000 Who are not on Obamacare. 1:24:21.439 --> 1:24:23.080 Yeah, and I put it in context too. You did 1:24:23.080 --> 1:24:25.320 have everyone run around their hair and fire streaming that 1:24:25.320 --> 1:24:26.880 the world's going to end, And here we are, well 1:24:26.920 --> 1:24:28.400 over a month in a new year. We're not hearing 1:24:28.400 --> 1:24:29.920 a lot of that anyway. Doesn't take it with a 1:24:29.960 --> 1:24:32.599 sting of this, But you know, it's just more subsidy. 1:24:32.600 --> 1:24:34.240 And I look at and we'll find out what the 1:24:34.240 --> 1:24:36.320 details of this are today, by the way, and President 1:24:36.360 --> 1:24:39.280 Trump rolling out the Trump our ex website, which to 1:24:39.360 --> 1:24:41.519 me looks like good our X, which is can get 1:24:41.680 --> 1:24:43.519 for free anyway. I don't know if the savings are 1:24:43.560 --> 1:24:46.400 better than what's available now if you ask for the discount, 1:24:46.400 --> 1:24:49.800 but I'm seeing some prices that look jaw droppingly good. 1:24:49.880 --> 1:24:51.720 I don't know if that's I don't know if it's 1:24:51.720 --> 1:24:53.760 the same plan or not. We'll find out. But if 1:24:53.760 --> 1:24:56.599 it's more subsidy, it's just more the same thing, I guess. Anyway, 1:24:56.680 --> 1:24:58.760 he is Dean Clancy, and Dean, we'll have you back 1:24:58.800 --> 1:25:02.679 on soon to rehash as progress or regress is made 1:25:03.120 --> 1:25:06.200 in fixing or breaking more healthcare system. All the best. 1:25:06.680 --> 1:25:08.639 Oh, it was a pleasure, Thanks teen. 1:25:08.840 --> 1:25:10.840 We'll get a news update here minutes away on seven 1:25:10.920 --> 1:25:15.080 hundred WW. Obviously, another breath of mother winter blowing in 1:25:15.120 --> 1:25:17.519 our face once again. And it's it's not that good 1:25:17.560 --> 1:25:20.680 like ooh, that smells like roses and unicorn farts. No, 1:25:21.160 --> 1:25:24.320 it smells like somebody smoked a cigar in ate four 1:25:24.360 --> 1:25:27.080 cloves of garlic. That's what this winter weather. That's what 1:25:27.080 --> 1:25:29.400 her breath smells like this time here wait, what is 1:25:29.400 --> 1:25:31.479 he saying? I don't know either. It just comes out. 1:25:31.600 --> 1:25:34.759 It just comes out verbal diarrhea. So yeah, we got news. 1:25:34.960 --> 1:25:37.720 And on this Friday morning, when we continue on seven 1:25:37.800 --> 1:25:40.720 hundred WLW, it's Ali Martin the Local Loop.

That 1:25:52.240 --> 1:25:53.960 means we're all clear. And as a matter of fact, 1:25:53.960 --> 1:25:56.519 this time next week we're looking at damn near fifty degrees, 1:25:56.600 --> 1:25:59.240 which is incredible, right, So gonna get out of the house, 1:25:59.280 --> 1:26:01.760 blow the stain called.

Super Bowl is good. Scoop scooch my butt 1:27:41.479 --> 1:27:42.800 on the ground, pull my pants up. There we go, 1:27:42.960 --> 1:27:43.200 let's go. 1:27:45.160 --> 1:27:49.519 You were a boy scout right, yeah, super Bowl is here. Okay, 1:27:49.600 --> 1:27:51.559 I have a gift for you. Yeah, okay, so there's 1:27:51.560 --> 1:27:55.640 a box sitting right next to you. Now obviously your 1:27:55.680 --> 1:27:56.920 teams are not in the super Bowl. 1:27:57.000 --> 1:27:57.519 My team is in. 1:27:57.680 --> 1:27:59.080 One of my teams is in the Super Bowl. 1:27:59.479 --> 1:28:02.679 So a patriotsman, yeah, all my family's ne A Island. 1:28:03.400 --> 1:28:04.679 I gotta do with New England. 1:28:04.720 --> 1:28:07.800 I was raised a Patriots What what are you talking about? 1:28:08.000 --> 1:28:09.280 What does Rhode Island have to do with? 1:28:10.160 --> 1:28:15.360 My entire family takes up Rhode Island. Yeah, I was 1:28:15.479 --> 1:28:18.640 raised a Patriots fan my entire life. And then of 1:28:18.680 --> 1:28:20.519 course you adopt the Bengals because I grew up here 1:28:20.520 --> 1:28:23.320 as well. But for you, you are a Bill's Bengals fan, 1:28:23.479 --> 1:28:28.040 and you've had a heart so I got you something. 1:28:28.439 --> 1:28:32.320 It looks like shoe. It's maybe just be one show. 1:28:32.600 --> 1:28:34.600 What are you doing? It's a way where does it 1:28:34.640 --> 1:28:38.160 come out? The box opens, there's a whole thing. 1:28:38.320 --> 1:28:38.960 What are you doing? 1:28:39.520 --> 1:28:40.000 I don't know what. 1:28:42.240 --> 1:28:43.720 Because when you open it, you know. 1:28:43.800 --> 1:28:47.080 This, you know those dumb and you open it anyway, 1:28:47.200 --> 1:28:49.880 the stupid bulk mail and it comes you got to 1:28:49.920 --> 1:28:51.840 tear the ends off it. And then it's like all 1:28:51.880 --> 1:28:54.919 these everyporated things like it's a pain of the ass. 1:28:54.800 --> 1:28:56.800 Right, that's the worst part of your when you get 1:28:56.800 --> 1:29:01.200 a W two. So he's opened the box. 1:29:01.400 --> 1:29:03.200 Phenomenal. Here, get a picture and put it on your 1:29:05.720 --> 1:29:07.560 so to do you want to describe it? 1:29:07.760 --> 1:29:11.600 It almost, yes, it is a morphed logo. Probably the 1:29:11.920 --> 1:29:15.000 NFL could go after us of Buffalo Bengals. So it's 1:29:15.080 --> 1:29:18.800 the Buffalo Bill's logo combined colors with the Bengals and 1:29:18.920 --> 1:29:20.760 the colors that's actually. 1:29:22.040 --> 1:29:22.200 Right. 1:29:22.680 --> 1:29:26.200 It almost looks like a b that's phenomenal. So it's 1:29:26.200 --> 1:29:27.799 a red, white and blue, but it's got the Bengals 1:29:28.160 --> 1:29:30.160 face logo, but it's got the red stripe of the 1:29:30.200 --> 1:29:31.960 Bills and anyway, get a shot of that. 1:29:32.280 --> 1:29:40.000 There we go, say cheese geez, sorry, where you get 1:29:40.000 --> 1:29:43.640 that You're so welcome? So my friend ended up getting that. 1:29:44.080 --> 1:29:46.360 You might recall Miranda McGee, who works with American Legacy 1:29:46.400 --> 1:29:47.400 Tours Australia. 1:29:48.600 --> 1:29:49.720 She is the same way. 1:29:49.880 --> 1:29:51.920 She likes the Buffalo Bills a lot, and she is 1:29:51.960 --> 1:29:54.400 a diehard Bengals fan, but she has basically just owned 1:29:54.400 --> 1:29:55.040 the Bengals. 1:29:55.600 --> 1:29:59.000 She's very confused. And then my friend found this, came 1:29:59.120 --> 1:30:00.200 up with the idea and I. 1:30:00.280 --> 1:30:01.040 Love you got it? 1:30:01.200 --> 1:30:01.800 I need one. 1:30:01.920 --> 1:30:03.560 I got to thank you so much. I love I 1:30:03.640 --> 1:30:05.840 want to wear that all the time. Yay, okay, good 1:30:05.960 --> 1:30:07.479 wear that here? And I want to go to Bill's games. 1:30:07.479 --> 1:30:10.560 I'm gonna wear that there. Yes, use to say for 1:30:10.600 --> 1:30:12.360 when the Bengals play the Bills every couple of years, like, 1:30:12.439 --> 1:30:14.479 oh it's a Buffalo what what now? 1:30:14.680 --> 1:30:14.800 Now? 1:30:14.840 --> 1:30:17.760 I need to make the Patriots and Bengals. Yeah, that's 1:30:17.960 --> 1:30:20.800 so you have those two. Okay, more for those, thank 1:30:20.840 --> 1:30:23.920 you so much, You're so welcome, awesome shirt. Where will 1:30:23.960 --> 1:30:26.080 you be celebrating the Super Bowl in my house. 1:30:27.920 --> 1:30:28.479 With the dogs. 1:30:28.560 --> 1:30:31.360 Yeah, I can't wait for bad Bunny me too. I'm 1:30:31.520 --> 1:30:34.479 kidding what I don't know? I think I know, like 1:30:34.560 --> 1:30:35.160 one of the songs. 1:30:35.880 --> 1:30:38.160 Really I'm excited for because I'm just excited for all 1:30:38.200 --> 1:30:39.320 the hype and the drama around. 1:30:39.360 --> 1:30:41.360 I don't get people are so pissed off. It's like 1:30:41.840 --> 1:30:43.599 all of the top TV shows, ninety of the top 1:30:43.640 --> 1:30:45.880 one hundred TV shows are NFL football games. You can't 1:30:45.920 --> 1:30:48.400 get any more people on the NFL bendwing in America 1:30:48.439 --> 1:30:49.560 than you're ready to do. So if you want to 1:30:49.600 --> 1:30:52.479 grow the business, where do you go other countries? 1:30:52.560 --> 1:30:54.320 But also, he is a top artist. 1:30:54.439 --> 1:30:56.719 It's a perfect pick for that. The fact I expanded 1:30:56.760 --> 1:30:59.479 Latin America. It makes sense. I get it's marketing and. 1:30:59.560 --> 1:31:01.640 He's just to lean into it and ask and I 1:31:01.880 --> 1:31:05.160 like his music, and I'm sorry he's for those who 1:31:05.280 --> 1:31:07.439 aren't fully aware. Yes he's from Puerto Rico, which is 1:31:07.439 --> 1:31:08.160 a part of America. 1:31:08.360 --> 1:31:09.920 Well, I think they're more like people pissed about the 1:31:09.960 --> 1:31:12.559 ice comments and things like that. But okay, then have Springsteen. 1:31:12.600 --> 1:31:13.439 He's gonna do the same thing. 1:31:13.600 --> 1:31:15.400 Oh yeah, and then you have Green Day and Green Day. 1:31:17.040 --> 1:31:20.240 Really artists tend to be more liberal and progressive than 1:31:21.040 --> 1:31:22.880 that's always the way it's been. Well, and then of 1:31:23.400 --> 1:31:26.040 course there are artists, and then people listen to what 1:31:26.080 --> 1:31:27.840 their comments are nobody cares. Just play the song. 1:31:27.960 --> 1:31:29.960 What's the other? What's the other show? Who's in it? 1:31:30.120 --> 1:31:32.120 I don't even know the artist that there's gonna be 1:31:32.120 --> 1:31:32.679 a sign. 1:31:32.479 --> 1:31:34.040 It, just like every other one of these, like when 1:31:34.080 --> 1:31:36.280 Fox Now does a concert, like when Willy goes to 1:31:36.320 --> 1:31:39.400 a concert, it's kid Rock and Lee Greenwood and like, 1:31:40.160 --> 1:31:40.599 all right. 1:31:40.600 --> 1:31:42.840 Whatever, Respectfully, we don't have to always make it. 1:31:42.840 --> 1:31:44.720 About out of that. Just go watch then watch that, 1:31:44.840 --> 1:31:46.479 Go watch the puppy bowl. I don't care. You know 1:31:46.520 --> 1:31:49.080 what I'm gonna be doing. Gonna go poop pee and 1:31:49.200 --> 1:31:51.200 get more food. That's what I do. At halftime, just 1:31:51.320 --> 1:31:55.280 like your dog. I've gotta go out because my coat on, 1:31:55.520 --> 1:31:56.840 go outside near the mailbox. 1:31:57.960 --> 1:32:01.120 All right, there's beer in his bowl.

I'll probably 1:32:07.439 --> 1:32:09.639 be partying with fifteen different people, some of the people 1:32:09.680 --> 1:32:15.840 that I randomly met at bar, which is going to 1:32:15.880 --> 1:32:18.360 be our restaurant spotlight of the day.

Now have you been 1:32:30.040 --> 1:32:30.840 to the bar. 1:32:31.600 --> 1:32:35.080 We were actually gonna go and something bad came up. 1:32:35.120 --> 1:32:37.080 I think I recall something bad. I can't murder it was, 1:32:37.240 --> 1:32:39.479 and then we had to cancel. But I do want 1:32:39.479 --> 1:32:41.120 to go.

But years ago we 1:34:56.800 --> 1:34:58.680 went to wound up like in Paris for a couple 1:34:58.680 --> 1:35:00.920 of days on a trip to England and went with 1:35:01.000 --> 1:35:03.479 our friends there and it was like, Paris is nice 1:35:03.479 --> 1:35:05.679 and everything, it's fine, but the food is incredibles.

But 1:35:17.439 --> 1:35:21.400 it also has panoramic views of the city, so they 1:35:21.520 --> 1:35:24.479 try to bring as much of that authentic French flare. 1:35:24.840 --> 1:35:27.920 It's a little eclectic. It is white tablecloth, but it's 1:35:27.960 --> 1:35:32.160 not stuffy white table that makes sense.
