Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with her implementing the job that
Speaker 1: they wanted done and all that stuff. It was purely political.
Speaker 1: They were getting some heat, so they fired her. And
Speaker 1: you know, I made the case with Willie. You know,
Speaker 1: no one would would say her tenure as a police
Speaker 1: chief is she's been like a tough on crime kind
Speaker 1: of person.
Speaker 2: You couldn't do that.
Speaker 1: But I would argue that that a lot of that
Speaker 1: has to do with the plan and what the mayor.
Speaker 2: And the city manager what implemented.
Speaker 1: They are never there, have been, and never will be
Speaker 1: people that want people arrested, and want crime crack down on,
Speaker 1: and want more arrests, want more police presence. So how
Speaker 1: can how's it her fault if from the top, the
Speaker 1: people above her don't want those things implement the things
Speaker 1: that you know, any person with a brain knows goes into,
Speaker 1: you know, creating a situation of safety, which is you
Speaker 1: got to arrest criminals and you got to be there
Speaker 1: and you got to you know, crack down on things
Speaker 1: that aren't going right, and that come from the top,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, never happened. They fired her for political
Speaker 1: reasons and now it's a big mess.
Speaker 3: Well, let's talk to a guy who wrote a co
Speaker 3: wrote an article for The Inquirer Cincinnati dot com this morning.
Speaker 3: Scott Warmant always our pleasure and Scott, you heard us
Speaker 3: talking the assessment of what's going on here. Let's face it, man,
Speaker 3: it's a purely political move.
Speaker 4: That's definitely what the chief is contending in her attorneys
Speaker 4: and her family. Thirty family and friends that showed up
Speaker 4: the city hall yesterday. They read the mayor and the
Speaker 4: council the Riot Act, saying that she's being railroaded and
Speaker 4: scapegoat the mayor. He didn't have any comment yesterday, but
Speaker 4: he's maintaining that this is a city manager's decision. Although
Speaker 4: leading up to this when we asked him like do
Speaker 4: you still have confidence in the chief, he wouldn't say
Speaker 4: one way or the other. But exactly, you know what's
Speaker 4: driving this? The administration, uh is tight lipped about it.
Speaker 4: They're just saying they're looking at reviewing her leadership whatever
Speaker 4: that means.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's at this point, Uh, they aren't really
Speaker 4: releasing what. You know, what changed, why all of a
Speaker 4: sudden the police chief's job was not adequate?
Speaker 1: Is that guy, and I'm talking about the mayor. Has
Speaker 1: he ever been definitive about anything. Has he ever said
Speaker 1: this is how I feel, this is what I want done,
Speaker 1: this is how it is. It's like everything is is
Speaker 1: like you got to like kind of it's it's political
Speaker 1: horse speak. It's like, well, yeah, I don't want to
Speaker 1: kind of box myself in. You can tell he's doing
Speaker 1: the mental calculation if I say this and you know
Speaker 1: that the politically it's that's the problem with this guy.
Speaker 1: That's why there's no much not much respect for him
Speaker 1: because he doesn't take a hard line on anything. You
Speaker 1: don't know how he feels about any situation. You don't
Speaker 1: know what where he stands on any particular issue. It's always,
Speaker 1: well we think this or it's to me, that's the
Speaker 1: root of the problem. You've got a guy that you
Speaker 1: don't really know what he stands for on any issue.
Speaker 4: Well, in this case, it's been I mean I've had
Speaker 4: the pretty much camp out at city Hall, get the
Speaker 4: drip of information as it comes out, but it's been
Speaker 4: it's kind of frustrating trying to piece together you know,
Speaker 4: what's really going on here is because the information has
Speaker 4: come out piecemeal and at odd times. But yeah, as
Speaker 4: far as you know what's behind this, it can only speculate.
Speaker 3: Well, we're we're talking to Scott Warman from the Inquire
Speaker 3: Cincinnatia dot com and Scott, it seems to me this was,
Speaker 3: as we've been talking about, a political move to bolster
Speaker 3: his minoral campaign, and it seems to be quite the opposite.
Speaker 3: And now people are going to take it a hard
Speaker 3: look at this guy. Where the only are you doing?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 4: I mean it's definitely because the campaign issue now, I
Speaker 4: mean that's that's one thing that it's sure it is.
Speaker 4: I mean that's everything now. All the oxygen is directed
Speaker 4: towards uh, you know what's going to happen in the
Speaker 4: police chief and the police department.
Speaker 3: Right because I've been seeing some of you wrote about
Speaker 3: was the yard signs and all that stuff. I must
Speaker 3: have gone home from work yesterday. I live in the
Speaker 3: downtown area now and I must have passed five or
Speaker 3: six of those supporting this area.
Speaker 4: You take a lot of them on the I know,
Speaker 4: like there's there are a lot on the west side.
Speaker 4: I haven't been all.
Speaker 3: Around town, but I look at the east side and yeah,
Speaker 3: I saw, like I said, half a dozen of them
Speaker 3: just around my immediate area.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So from here and here though Scott just you know,
Speaker 1: not the political side of it, but now lawyers are involved,
Speaker 1: and it's going to go to court, and there's potential payouts,
Speaker 1: and there was what are we looking at here kind
Speaker 1: of set the stage of of what's going to come
Speaker 1: down the line here From a from a legal.
Speaker 4: Standpoint, well, I mean the city is already or is
Speaker 4: already going through this with the fire chief, Chief Washington,
Speaker 4: who's suing for his dismissal. In this case, I mean,
Speaker 4: her contract with the city chief the chief contract is
Speaker 4: rather vague as far as you know what her severance.
Speaker 4: There is no reference to any severance package. And there's
Speaker 4: a question on whether she wasn't at will employee or not.
Speaker 4: So the city's contending that the city manager has the
Speaker 4: right to fire her, you know, whenever. But that's what
Speaker 4: it's going to really hinge on as far as whether
Speaker 4: you know, she is afforded to process legally or not.
Speaker 4: The mayor has said that this is going to take months,
Speaker 4: so I have no idea, you know, when a decision
Speaker 4: will be made, But I mean I would be very
Speaker 4: surprised if, yeah, there isn't a long protracted lawsuit at
Speaker 4: the end of this.
Speaker 1: And this is where it gets ugly too, right, because
Speaker 1: then they're they're going to go and dig up any dirt,
Speaker 1: assuming there is any of her, which I'm not sure
Speaker 1: there is, but they're going to dig up every bad
Speaker 1: thing she ever did. And that goes in the core,
Speaker 1: which means it comes into in the public. It's just
Speaker 1: a total mess. You just feel like if af Table
Speaker 1: were smarter at the start of all that. Look, he
Speaker 1: didn't want her in there, right and for political reasons.
Speaker 1: Fair if you just said, you know what, we just
Speaker 1: think we just kind of want to go in a
Speaker 1: different direction. Nothing you really did wrong. It's not like
Speaker 1: you were, you know, bad at your duties. It's just
Speaker 1: we kind of want to go a different direction. Just
Speaker 1: something a little bit fresher, kind of put her out
Speaker 1: the pasture like that, instead of saying she hasn't been
Speaker 1: been doing well at her job. It's the job that
Speaker 1: he gave her no direction and how to do properly.
Speaker 4: And again you touched on it. I mean, I haven't
Speaker 4: seen any specific accusations against her, So exactly what they're
Speaker 4: looking into I can't say. I don't know. It hasn't
Speaker 4: been revealed.
Speaker 3: And well I think we can all And Scott, you
Speaker 3: write about local politics. Of course, it's part of your
Speaker 3: job and that's what we do talk about it. But
Speaker 3: I don't care what side of the aisle you're on, Democrat, Republican.
Speaker 3: You hang somebody out to dry like they were trying
Speaker 3: to do with her, and like I said, I don't
Speaker 3: care which side you're on. It's a bad look, man,
Speaker 3: when it's that obvious.
Speaker 4: Well, I can say there's tension now between the administration
Speaker 4: and city council, and the city council's all Democrat as well,
Speaker 4: but you had some council members like Seth Walsh, Jeff
Speaker 4: Crammerding saying they want more information on what's going on,
Speaker 4: what this investigation entails, because they say they're not getting
Speaker 4: that they were just apprized at the last minute that
Speaker 4: the administration retained an outside council, so they're paying Frost
Speaker 4: Brown Todd lawyer's forty grand to investigate whatever they're investigating.
Speaker 4: And there's discontent on council because they feel like, you know,
Speaker 4: they don't really know what's going on.
Speaker 1: And Scott, you touched on this too, but how do
Speaker 1: you do you see this having any palpable effect?
Speaker 2: On the mayoral race at all. I know there's more.
Speaker 1: You know, there's yard signs and there's chatter and all that,
Speaker 1: But is this something you think could actually sway this race.
Speaker 2: A little bit.
Speaker 4: I don't know if the mayor's race, I mean, that
Speaker 4: is a huge gap to overcome, like have to have
Speaker 4: got eighty two percent of the vote in the primary.
Speaker 4: But I think it might have some impact on the
Speaker 4: council races and whether any non endorsed Democrats and that's
Speaker 4: not endorsed by Democrats get on. It could have some
Speaker 4: effect on that because I mean that's the top nine
Speaker 4: candidates get in, and there's twenty six candidates, so I mean,
Speaker 4: you know that the margins are going to be you know,
Speaker 4: could be a voter or to So yeah, it could
Speaker 4: definitely have an impact on who's going to be on
Speaker 4: council come the first of the year.
Speaker 3: All right, Well that's Scott Warmant. We appreciate it, man,
Speaker 3: good insight, Thanks so much.
Speaker 5: Appreciate it. Thanks gentlemen.
Speaker 3: Scott Warmant from The Inquirer Cincinnati. I com checked the
Speaker 3: article we're talking out about there. He does a good
Speaker 3: job of breaking it down. Whether he co word the article.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has the all analysis of both sides. Yeah,
Speaker 1: very very well done by Scott. But yeah, this is
Speaker 1: so uh well, it be something to talk about for
Speaker 1: a while. I what a mess.

Speaker 3: Right back with eddiean Rocky and Rocke mess downtown. How
Speaker 3: do you create that, man? How do you let that
Speaker 3: get away from you?
Speaker 2: You got incompetent people, That's what it comes down.
Speaker 1: You got people that are in positions such as the
Speaker 1: mayor and the city manager in particular, that have no
Speaker 1: business actually being in that position. They don't they don't
Speaker 1: want to do the job. They want to play the
Speaker 1: role of that position. And I assume take the money
Speaker 1: if that gets in and all that, and take the pictures.
Speaker 2: But I just don't think that's a hard job.
Speaker 1: Even mayors is a tough like kind of, you know,
Speaker 1: no frills job in the essence of it, right, It's
Speaker 1: a lot of dirty work you gotta do. And I
Speaker 1: just don't think he's the he has the disposition to
Speaker 1: do it, he's just not cut out for it.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you need you need a spine for that job,
Speaker 3: and I'm not sure this fella has it, but I
Speaker 3: will tell you this. You to talk about what a
Speaker 3: tough job being mayor is.
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 3: This is? And well, however, long ago that Charlie Lucan
Speaker 3: was mayor, and I don't remember. It could have been
Speaker 3: opening day, I don't remember. Something was going on downtown,
Speaker 3: maybe of Saint Patricks whatever. But Deb and I were
Speaker 3: down there and we're walking by an office building. It
Speaker 3: was at City Hall, but Charlie had just walked out
Speaker 3: and was walking up the sidewalk, and both Deb and
Speaker 3: I have known Charlie for a long time. But as
Speaker 3: soon as he walked down that building, there was some
Speaker 3: guy following him screaming at him, going, what are you
Speaker 3: going to get this fixed? You piece up and all
Speaker 3: this stuff. And so we walked out, walking up to
Speaker 3: Charlie and I'd start laughing, ago, how's it going, buddy,
Speaker 3: you signed up for this, and he said, well, you
Speaker 3: kind of see how it's going. And the guy just
Speaker 3: kept yelling. As we're walking along talking, I was like, well,
Speaker 3: good luck.
Speaker 1: Being in a township. Trust see as I was for
Speaker 1: better part of four years. That's not exactly the funnest
Speaker 1: thing in the world either, you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a great sense of you know, being able to
Speaker 1: do things for the community. But yeah, it's not you know,
Speaker 1: you're not you're not making some incredible salary, you're not
Speaker 1: on the cover of Time magazine. It's it's a lot
Speaker 1: of that, a lot of people saying, you know, how
Speaker 1: come there's this poddle on my street and you haven't
Speaker 1: got it fixed.
Speaker 2: In six months and blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: So but yeah, I just I the biggest the biggest
Speaker 1: problem the mayor has is he does not I just
Speaker 1: feel like in any a big position, you've got to
Speaker 1: be definitive about what your role is and how you're
Speaker 1: going to implement and where you stand on things. And
Speaker 1: that's the problem with most politicians. They don't want to
Speaker 1: take a hard line stance on anything because every you know,
Speaker 1: nothing in this world, one hundred percent of people are
Speaker 1: going to agree with You're gonna piss someone off. But
Speaker 1: you got to look at it in his In his case,
Speaker 1: I would take the stance every single day of the
Speaker 1: week of we are going to be tough on crime, okay,
Speaker 1: because I don't care who you are if you're white,
Speaker 1: you're black, you're a woman, you're a male, you're old,
Speaker 1: you're young. You want to be safe. You don't want
Speaker 1: to worry about your kids getting shot. You don't want
Speaker 1: to be worried about walking on Fountain Square and getting shot.
Speaker 2: We are going to do what it takes.
Speaker 1: And if we have to over police, if we bring
Speaker 1: more police, you know, then then maybe this expert says
Speaker 1: is necessary. That's where we're going to do. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm going to do. And if you don't like that,
Speaker 1: then don't vote for me.
Speaker 2: But if you do vote for me, but you know,
Speaker 2: it's like, well, you know, we got to.
Speaker 1: We don't want to be too hard on crime because,
Speaker 1: let's face it, his base is a it's a base
Speaker 1: that does not want there to be toughness on crime
Speaker 1: because of the demographics.
Speaker 2: Right, We're gonna be honest about that. Okay, So so.
Speaker 1: That but that's that Airn lies the problem, and it
Speaker 1: comes down to politics instead of what's actually right and
Speaker 1: what should be the right call one hundred percent of
Speaker 1: the time is keeping people safe.

Speaker 12: News Radio, seven hundred w baltem Hey, Marto Lopez here
Speaker 12: and right now.
Speaker 1: So WILLI had been on a couple of decades at
Speaker 1: this point. Oh yeah, you know one of his protegees
Speaker 1: I think he was part of this scam.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he was.
Speaker 1: It might have been his idea, but one of his
Speaker 1: protegees orson wells, okay, he was. This is at the
Speaker 1: Mercury Theater Company decided to update that the novel that
Speaker 1: he wrote, right, War of the Worlds, and so they're
Speaker 1: going to, you know, put this on air, right, But
Speaker 1: how they did it will go down in history because
Speaker 1: they weren't exactly forthright about hey, this is fake, this
Speaker 1: is fiction, this is this and that. So here's how
Speaker 1: it all went down. He's very obviously a very famous
Speaker 1: moment in radio. So the show began Sunday, October thirty
Speaker 1: eight pm. Voice comes on the radio. And by the way,
Speaker 1: as you know, this time like millions of people listening
Speaker 1: to the radio on it's Allday nights, right, it's all
Speaker 1: there was. So at eight pm, a voice comes on
Speaker 1: the radio and announces the Columbia Broadcasting System and its
Speaker 1: affiliated stations present orson Wells and the Mercury Theater on
Speaker 1: the air in World of Worlds by H. G.
Speaker 2: Wells.
Speaker 1: Okay, so then again, you know you're talking talking about
Speaker 1: the Golden Ager radio. So Wells introduced his radio play
Speaker 1: with a spoken introduction, Okay, hey, this is who I am,
Speaker 1: this is what we're doing, followed by an announcer reading
Speaker 1: a weather report. Okay, so this is where it starts
Speaker 1: to kind of purposefully go awry. Then, seemingly abandoning the storyline,
Speaker 1: the announcer took listeners to quote the Meridian Room in
Speaker 1: the Hotel Park Plaza in downtown New York. Well, you
Speaker 1: will be entertained by the music of the Ramone Roquello
Speaker 1: and his orchestra. So it's like, okay, we're here, and
Speaker 1: as you know in radio, people are going in and out,
Speaker 1: in and out all the time. So music played for
Speaker 1: some time, and then then the trick is being pulled.
Speaker 1: An announcer breaks into the music with a report that
Speaker 1: quote Professor Ferrell of the Mount Jenning Observatory had detected
Speaker 1: explosions on planet Mars. Okay, and then like more like
Speaker 1: drama dance music comes on, followed by another interruption which
Speaker 1: listeners are informed that a large meteor has crashed into
Speaker 1: a farmer's field in New Jersey.
Speaker 2: So I was like, what what the hell is going
Speaker 2: on here?
Speaker 1: Soon an announcer was at the crash site in New Jersey,
Speaker 1: right fake, describing a Martian emerging from a large metallic cylinder.
Speaker 1: Quote good heavens, he declares, something's reeling out of the
Speaker 1: shadow like a gray snake. Now here's another one, and
Speaker 1: another one and another one. They looked like tentacles to me.
Speaker 1: They're just pouring it on, right, going on and on
Speaker 1: and on. And the Martians, uh, they of course during
Speaker 1: the courses, they mount these war machines and they firing
Speaker 1: heat ray weapons on humans and vaporizing everybody, and everyone's
Speaker 1: losing their mind. Because this was kind of tucked into
Speaker 1: a music special and a weather report and a news report.
Speaker 3: Well after the fact, I because I've read a lot
Speaker 3: about that obviously over the years, and and ilays level
Speaker 3: when they confronted Wells about it after the fact, and
Speaker 3: everybody with all the panic because he was like, right
Speaker 3: at the beginning, we said it was a play. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and exactly like you said, who starts Maybe back then
Speaker 3: you listen to the something from the start to finish
Speaker 3: on the radio. But people listen to this right now
Speaker 3: are coming into the middle of the story. They might
Speaker 3: have heard jury and they're going, oh my god, we're
Speaker 3: you know, people are always flipping around, and that's what
Speaker 3: that happened back then too, so you can understand why
Speaker 3: people were freaking out a little bit.
Speaker 1: Well, and as you well know, the Federal Communications Commission
Speaker 1: investigated this because this was you know, people are losing
Speaker 1: their minds over it. Uh. They investigated the program but
Speaker 1: found no law was broken. Networks did agree to be
Speaker 1: more quote cautious in their programming in the future. Sure that,
Speaker 1: of course, you know, raised orson Wells to you know
Speaker 1: how you know, he's a household name. He goes on
Speaker 1: to direct what citizen.
Speaker 2: Kane and all that.
Speaker 1: So but yeah, it is harder, you know, on radio
Speaker 1: than on TV because its TV. You can put a
Speaker 1: little thing at the bottom corner and say this is
Speaker 1: a drama blah blah blah blah blah, not real. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they they made no real attempt like every if they
Speaker 1: wanted to, I'm sure, like every two minutes, it could
Speaker 1: have come on and said, now, look this is not real.
Speaker 2: But now back to the burger.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it just totally destroys what you're doing if
Speaker 3: you come in at every.
Speaker 2: Does I'm sure the case they made.
Speaker 3: This was all fake. Back to the show.
Speaker 1: You can't you can't tell me that they were doing
Speaker 1: this same. We are going to freak some people. This
Speaker 1: is going to be awesome.
Speaker 3: I think, Well, especially back then. I mean, wasn't that
Speaker 3: old man right Back then people were just starting to
Speaker 3: all get radios, right, and so you believed everything you
Speaker 3: heard on there.
Speaker 2: Well, and of.
Speaker 1: Course back then there was no way to double check it.
Speaker 1: If I'm listening to the radio and I hear something crazy,
Speaker 1: I pull up my phone and check Twitter, or I
Speaker 1: wait for our newscast and okay, it's not real, but
Speaker 1: there's nothing to check it.
Speaker 2: You have nothing.
Speaker 3: You gotta waits on the.
Speaker 1: TV and well, the TV, of course will be talking
Speaker 1: about a Martian invasion.
Speaker 2: Well, no, I wasn't really around either.
Speaker 3: You get to wait for the newspaper to come out
Speaker 3: in the morning. Yeah, twelve hours from now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, but yeah, a very iconic moment in history radio.
Speaker 2: I thought that would be fun to share.
Speaker 3: The only thing like that that I ever was a
Speaker 3: part of is that.
Speaker 5: One.
Speaker 3: It was opening day one year and it was turned
Speaker 3: out and it just so happened it was April Fool's Day,
Speaker 3: but it was one of those years when it was
Speaker 3: still well obviously it was in April first, but you
Speaker 3: never know what the weather's going to be like then,
Speaker 3: and it was one of those mornings where overnight, you
Speaker 3: get up in the morning it was going to be
Speaker 3: forty degrees maybe that day to play baseball, but overnight
Speaker 3: it was maybe twenty to twenty five degrees. So on
Speaker 3: the morning show, we went on the air and said, well,
Speaker 3: the Reds are asking us to tell you that all
Speaker 3: the plumbing in this in that's when they were in Riverfront,
Speaker 3: all the plumbing at the ballpark is frozen. So you're
Speaker 3: not going to be able to use the restroom. So oh,
Speaker 3: I'm sure the love this. Oh, they absolutely turned out.
Speaker 3: They really loved it. I heard a lot about it.
Speaker 2: You're going to have to hold it the whole.
Speaker 3: Game, that's what everyone I said. I was like, you know,
Speaker 3: they're still gonna be They're still going to play the
Speaker 3: game though, You're going to be just double to get
Speaker 3: your beer and hot dogs. But you know, you just
Speaker 3: should probably hit the back room before you get head
Speaker 3: that way were you're hitting.
Speaker 1: Your car before you drive downtown, use the bathroom one
Speaker 1: last time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And people were the Reds were a tad bit
Speaker 3: peeved at the old head man for that one, Like
Speaker 3: come on, people figured it out, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 3: So what so what?
Speaker 2: Like that too.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like I was sitting there going, you know
Speaker 3: what you should do, just be in your empty beer
Speaker 3: cup to throw it on the ground. They'll clean it up.
Speaker 1: But even I'm sure as the day went on you
Speaker 1: said ha ha. But I bet there were people that
Speaker 1: went down to that game. Did you only listen in
Speaker 1: the morning You're like, well, I guess I have to. Well,
Speaker 1: he in the beer bottle, That's what I always say.
Speaker 1: That's what I obviously got a good laugh out of that,
Speaker 1: thinking that you know there are a certain percentage would
Speaker 1: have been many because it was pretty obvious because we
Speaker 1: did say, look, it's a joke.
Speaker 3: It's April fols and but Sarah, I'm sure's people showed
Speaker 3: up there and walked in and goes, aren't there portolets
Speaker 3: or there any things that up there? And I'm sure
Speaker 3: one of the issuers are like, what the hell are
Speaker 3: you talking about?
Speaker 8: That?
Speaker 1: You've probably save them a lot of money on their
Speaker 1: plumbing that night, you know, cut them out of flushes
Speaker 1: in like a by a third.
Speaker 3: With that thought in mind, we head to the traffic

Speaker 3: who wants to sound off on it? Hey, Linville, what's
Speaker 3: going on?
Speaker 11: Hey?
Speaker 1: Listened to you?
Speaker 5: We birth maturity that together this long. You remember the
Speaker 5: old radio sproof of the plummet mall.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that was a big deal there.
Speaker 5: For a little bit we went looking for it. Never
Speaker 5: found it.
Speaker 3: That's rock. That's probably it was before your time. There
Speaker 3: were they were the radio stations were running and Jay
Speaker 3: Gilbert and uh another guy were behind it and thanks
Speaker 3: lend vote.
Speaker 5: They.
Speaker 3: Wrote. They were advertising the effectiveness of radio advertising, but
Speaker 3: they didn't tell anybody. So they were talking about they
Speaker 3: were doing commercials, really well done commercials for a thing
Speaker 3: called Plummet Mall. And it was a mall that was
Speaker 3: what it says. It is dug straight down and this
Speaker 3: is correct. It was totally fake. And then people were,
Speaker 3: like he said, people were looking for it, going where
Speaker 3: the hell is this place? Because it's like it's coming soon,
Speaker 3: and that's all. That's all they said. And this way.
Speaker 3: They were running commercials for this thing for a couple
Speaker 3: of three weeks and people were obviously listening to it
Speaker 3: and wonder what was going on. And then they finally
Speaker 3: they did commercials that said, yeah, so you know what, well,
Speaker 3: have you seen those billboards for just like bus boards
Speaker 3: and stuff. See you looked at it now, don't you
Speaker 3: want to buy one?
Speaker 5: Or right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of what they did. Like so you
Speaker 3: you've been looking for Plummet Mall, Well we did these commercials.
Speaker 3: It just goes to show you radio works.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 3: It was pretty effective.
Speaker 2: Yeah again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so then there's still well, like Linville, they're still
Speaker 3: talking about Let's talk to Tim and Mason about it. Hey, Tim,
Speaker 3: what's going on?
Speaker 11: Well?
Speaker 18: I think more recently, remember all the times that Bill
Speaker 18: Cunningham during his nine o'clock nine pm show back in
Speaker 18: the day. I don't know how many times he went
Speaker 18: on the air very seriously and said that the Bozo
Speaker 18: had died, and he would do it on nights when
Speaker 18: the Bozo was not going to be in for some reason.
Speaker 11: I remember he had truck drivers really upset. I think
Speaker 11: one truck driver drove tried to drive up to the
Speaker 11: thingation in Mount Adams and blocked blocked the streets, and
Speaker 11: I mean he really had he had nurses, he had
Speaker 11: nurses at hospitals, you know, in on it they call
Speaker 11: and yeah, he passed away. And another time he said
Speaker 11: that he'd been raped by a bear. I mean it
Speaker 11: just went on and on and on, and these truck
Speaker 11: drivers were calling up crying and upset and believed every
Speaker 11: bit of it.
Speaker 1: Took a little too far, but funny.
Speaker 18: Yeah, there you.
Speaker 3: Go, Thanks Jeff. Yeah, I totally remember that going on.
Speaker 3: Get to Rick in Indiana right quick? Hey Rick, what's
Speaker 3: going on?
Speaker 5: Bud?
Speaker 18: Hey, buddy, do you remember one time you blowed everybody's mind?
Speaker 5: What was it, William Shatner? Yeah, put your foot on
Speaker 5: her head?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's you blowed everybody's mind with that one.
Speaker 3: You know what, Rick, I almost said that I had
Speaker 3: to come, and if you remember the end of it,
Speaker 3: I did come. I had to come on the air
Speaker 3: because we got we're we're getting flooded with phone calls,
Speaker 3: like Eddie Fingers, isn't a hole? I mean that's that
Speaker 3: was being.
Speaker 1: Kind, But I remember that, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: We had a guy who imitated William Seattner perfectly. So
Speaker 3: we advertised it as have an exclusive interview with William Shatner,
Speaker 3: and so nobody knew except for me and the guy.
Speaker 3: The program director knew because he was going to have
Speaker 3: to know when people started calling, and the guy who knew,
Speaker 3: the guy and me. I didn't tell anybody else on
Speaker 3: the show.
Speaker 2: None of your no.
Speaker 3: I'm just like Bob, We're pumped up, man, we got
Speaker 3: William Shanner. This is going to be exclusive, and so
Speaker 3: we're talking and everybody's like William Shanner. And so we're talking,
Speaker 3: and so gradually I start being more and more of
Speaker 3: a an ass to him. I was like, you know,
Speaker 3: kind of like your people always said, you can't really act.
Speaker 3: I mean, what do you say to those folks? Ye
Speaker 3: think I can act. I don't know what you're talking
Speaker 3: about it. I said, yeah, well, how about your singing career?

Speaker 2: This report is sponsored buying Land Evolution, Haunted Screen Parks.
Speaker 1: Haunted, Yes, Sir, a good friend, PJ Street and PJ Look.
Speaker 1: Especially for those of US men and women over the
Speaker 1: age of forty uh, you know you still want to
Speaker 1: be fit, you want to live a healthy long life.
Speaker 1: But I feel, and I'm sure you do too, you
Speaker 1: need certain benchmarks, right, How do you know how healthy
Speaker 1: you are, how well you're doing, if there's not some
Speaker 1: certain benchmarks that you need to hit with your your
Speaker 1: physical fitness. And that's why I'm excited about this topic today, PJ.
Speaker 1: You're going to give us some baseline goals for again,
Speaker 1: those of us over the age of forty that if
Speaker 1: we can kind of hit these or be around these
Speaker 1: were we're doing pretty good.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And I'm going to cover men today
Speaker 5: and next week I'll do the women, IF's all right.
Speaker 5: So you know, kind of what you alluded to, rock
Speaker 5: fitness over forty isn't like about flexing and tank tops
Speaker 5: or chasing six pack abs. Yeah right, It's really about function.
Speaker 5: It's really about function. It's about stained strong and mobile
Speaker 5: and pain free so that you can you know, keep
Speaker 5: up with your kids, or hype with your wife, play
Speaker 5: pickle ball, you know, even just carrying the groceries without
Speaker 5: throwing out your back. So I'm going to kind of
Speaker 5: give you, you know, seven kind of bare minimum baseline
Speaker 5: benchmarks that men should be able to hit during middle aids.
Speaker 5: So if you're between the ages of like forty and sixty,
Speaker 5: you're going to want to listen up the first one.
Speaker 5: It seems pretty elementary, but you should be able to
Speaker 5: hang from an overhead bar like a pull up bar
Speaker 5: for at least forty five seconds, and you'd be surprised
Speaker 5: how many people cannot do this. That's going to test
Speaker 5: your grip strength, which is one of the strongest predictors
Speaker 5: of longevity. Yeah, and you know, we're talking about a
Speaker 5: armsful extended feet off the ground for a full forty
Speaker 5: five seconds, and if you struggle to do that, that
Speaker 5: means your your your grip's weak, your shoulder stability is
Speaker 5: probably pouring, and you're just a higher injury risk overall.
Speaker 5: So that would be my first one.
Speaker 1: Hey real quick, because I've seen different theories on this,
Speaker 1: but what's yours. Why is there such a strong correlation
Speaker 1: between grip strength and longevity?
Speaker 5: Now, going way back here, I was involved in the
Speaker 5: study when I was at Miami University. But it looked
Speaker 5: at grip strength and blood pressure reduction. It was fascinating,
Speaker 5: and the stronger your grip is, your your your blood
Speaker 5: pressure tense tends to respond positively, so that that would
Speaker 5: be you know, that would be you know, my guess
Speaker 5: as to why that's such a good predictor of longevity
Speaker 5: that one.
Speaker 1: I would also think to PJ, like if if your
Speaker 1: grips strong enough, where if you're gonna fall down and
Speaker 1: you can catch your and you catch your fall instead
Speaker 1: of breaking a hip, is that maybe a factor as well?
Speaker 5: Yeah, certain it certainly could be. It certainly could be.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: In moving on push ups, the good old fashioned push up, guys,
Speaker 5: you should be able to do fifteen clean, full range
Speaker 5: push ups. Okay, that means just to the floor, your
Speaker 5: elbows are locked out at the top, your hips aren't sagging,
Speaker 5: You're not you know, no head dives or half reps.
Speaker 5: This is going to measure your your overall upper body strength,
Speaker 5: your core control, and if you can't hit fifteen, that's
Speaker 5: a wake up call in a lot of areas. You know,
Speaker 5: your body composition, like I said, your strengthen darance for
Speaker 5: your upper body, so you should be able to hit
Speaker 5: a bare minimum of fifteen. And moving on to hit
Speaker 5: wate to height ratio. I've talked about this before in
Speaker 5: the show. For this is a healthier predictor of your
Speaker 5: roll fat, your organ fat and for predicting diabetes and
Speaker 5: heart disease risks. So if you take your waists and
Speaker 5: inches and divide that by your height and inches, it
Speaker 5: shouldn't be over point five. So, for example, if you're
Speaker 5: seventy inches tall, your ways shouldn't be any more than
Speaker 5: thirty five inches. Okay, so that's something you might want
Speaker 5: to check out. You can measure your you know, you
Speaker 5: can measure your waist right at your navel, your belly button.
Speaker 5: Number four, you should be able to hold a plank
Speaker 5: for ninety seconds. If you don't know what a plank is,
Speaker 5: I think most people do. But it's basically you're going
Speaker 5: to push up position, but you're on your elbows and
Speaker 5: your toes and this is going to test your core
Speaker 5: endurance and your and your spinal stability. And if you're
Speaker 5: shaking after thirty seconds, your core isn't doing its job.
Speaker 5: If you have a stronger core, guys, that's going to
Speaker 5: mean fewer back issues, better posture, and less pain, you know,
Speaker 5: just moving through life.
Speaker 2: And did you say ninety seconds. I feel like that's
Speaker 2: that's not that easy.
Speaker 5: It's not that easy. It's not, but it's completely doable
Speaker 5: with you know, with some consistent training. So moving on,
Speaker 5: let's talk about your cardio. You should be able to
Speaker 5: run a mile and under ten minutes, so that's like,
Speaker 5: you know, if you're on a treadmill, that's like six
Speaker 5: miles an hour. So you don't need to be like,
Speaker 5: you know, a marathon runner or anything like that, but
Speaker 5: you but you should be able to move a sub
Speaker 5: ten minute mile. That indicates, you know, decent aerobic fitness,
Speaker 5: and you probably have a decent VO two max as well,
Speaker 5: so you know that that's something that that you could
Speaker 5: keep tabs on as well. You know, if you're at
Speaker 5: the gym and then these are this is the one
Speaker 5: that most people really really have a hard time with.
Speaker 5: You should be able to do at least if you're
Speaker 5: a man in you know, forty plus, you should be
Speaker 5: able to do at least two full pull ups. Okay.
Speaker 5: And a pull up is an overhand grip on a
Speaker 5: bar slightly, you know, outside shoulder with grip, and you
Speaker 5: should start from a full hang. You should be able
Speaker 5: to pull yourself up to where your upper chest meats
Speaker 5: the bar and they're a distinct pause. Okay, and I
Speaker 5: would I would guess nine out of ten men in
Speaker 5: their forties cannot do that, and that's going to test
Speaker 5: your you know, your upper back strength, your live strength.
Speaker 5: It's it's also a really good indicator of your body
Speaker 5: composition and your relative strength. If you can't do at
Speaker 5: least two pull ups, your your fat there's no there's
Speaker 5: no getting around that.
Speaker 3: Damn well, let me ask you talking about you mentioned
Speaker 3: posture a little while ago, and that's that struck me.
Speaker 3: As as we know, I'm well beyond my forties, and
Speaker 3: I've caught myself lately at here in just the last
Speaker 3: couple of years, but especially as I the older I get,
Speaker 3: the more I notice it, I'll catch myself. I can't
Speaker 3: say an call anything else but an old man's stance.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of standing there with my arms hanging down
Speaker 3: like kind of like a chimp, but with my back bright.
Speaker 3: So what I'm My head's kind of down inside my
Speaker 3: shoulders a little bit, and my back is not quite
Speaker 3: ass not a c position, but it's you know, it's
Speaker 3: current little arc in it. Now that's disturbing. As soon
Speaker 3: as I catch myself doing it, I straightened myself up.
Speaker 3: But why does that happen?
Speaker 5: But but Eddie, that's it's a wonderful question. And it's
Speaker 5: you know, especially with you guys. I mean, you're you're
Speaker 5: sitting in front of the desk. You know, your your
Speaker 5: hips are flex your your shoulders around it, your your
Speaker 5: head's jutted forward. You know, you're you're you're on a
Speaker 5: keyboard a lot, and that you just kind of get
Speaker 5: that rounded, tight posture. So that's why you know, when
Speaker 5: you're in the gym doing stuff like rose and pull
Speaker 5: ups and lack pool downs and strengthening your glute, strengthening
Speaker 5: your lower back, strengthen your hand strength, that's going to help, uh,
Speaker 5: you know, kind of reverse that that that office posture,
Speaker 5: so to speak. It's very common problem. Any and I
Speaker 5: want to throw one more in. I could do like
Speaker 5: twenty of these if I want to do it.
Speaker 3: Keep going.
Speaker 5: Body weight squats sounds sounds you know, pretty easy, but
Speaker 5: you should be able to do twenty five deep body
Speaker 5: weight squass with good form. That means your heels are down,
Speaker 5: your kneels, your knees are tracking over your toes, your
Speaker 5: chest is up, and you should be able to break
Speaker 5: ninety degrees on that. That's going to evaluate your leg strength,
Speaker 5: your joint mobility, and your overall work capacity. You can't
Speaker 5: hit twenty five unbroken. Your lower body probably isn't as
Speaker 5: resilient as you think.
Speaker 2: It is interesting.
Speaker 1: I would think of all those effect of plank, the
Speaker 1: ninety second plank could be rough the hardest one.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess maybe just for me, you.
Speaker 5: Can do You can do that with one leg off
Speaker 5: the ground.
Speaker 2: I know you can't.
Speaker 5: I want to add in, Yeah, there'd be impressive. I
Speaker 5: want to add in one more that that I think
Speaker 5: is a is a good one. You should be able
Speaker 5: to get up off the floor. You know, if you're
Speaker 5: on your back with your legs straight, you should be
Speaker 5: able to get up off the floor to a standing
Speaker 5: position without using your hands. Okay, I think about that
Speaker 5: for a second. I mean that's again, it doesn't sound
Speaker 5: like it's that hard, but you'd be surprised how many
Speaker 5: people can't do it. You know, when I'm training my
Speaker 5: personal training clients, you know, initially I watched this. I
Speaker 5: get people on the ground to do an exercise. I
Speaker 5: just kind of observe and monitor if they're able to
Speaker 5: get up off the ground without using their hands, how
Speaker 5: long it takes them to get up off the ground.
Speaker 5: That type of stuff that.
Speaker 2: Would be one for folks. If you're listening at home,
Speaker 2: try that one tonight.
Speaker 3: That's easy, But I mean it's easy to try again.
Speaker 3: Being older. One of my best friends, he and I
Speaker 3: grew up together and we're the exact same age, and
Speaker 3: we were talking about our birthdays are weak apart and
Speaker 3: what our last birthday. I was like, how are you
Speaker 3: feeling these days? They're old man, and he's my legs
Speaker 3: are completely shot. And he's taller than Rocky. This guy's
Speaker 3: like me. He's like six five sixty six and he's, uh,
Speaker 3: he's in. My legs are shot. I just can't. You know,
Speaker 3: I can't do anything with my legs anymore. And my
Speaker 3: legs are I know, my legs are getting way way
Speaker 3: more tired than they used to, but I you know,
Speaker 3: I still get around.
Speaker 5: Okay, Listen, Strength training properly on a good program, like
Speaker 5: two days a week can can fix most of this
Speaker 5: stuff that we're talking about. Yeah, I mean it again.
Speaker 5: If you if if you're putting at tension on your muscles,
Speaker 5: challenging your muscles as you age, you're not going to
Speaker 5: lose muscle tissue. That means you're going to have good
Speaker 5: joint stability and good joint mobility as well. You're going
Speaker 5: to be able to live a functional life, et cetera.
Speaker 5: I want to end with this if anybody wants a
Speaker 5: real challenge. I had to think about this one myself.
Speaker 5: If you if you, you should be able to walk
Speaker 5: for one minute holding your body weight in your hands
Speaker 5: at arm's length. It's called a farmer's walk. So if
Speaker 5: you're a two hundred pound guy, you should be able to.
Speaker 5: Then again, this is a little bit more advanced. If
Speaker 5: you're a tuner pound guy, you should be able to have
Speaker 5: one hundred pound dumbbell in each hand and be able
Speaker 5: to walk around for a minute without dropping them. That's like,
Speaker 5: some that's the next level stuff.
Speaker 2: Oh good, I think I can do that.
Speaker 1: But that's not easy for a minute, That ain't Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's uh yeah.
Speaker 5: If you're listening to if you're listening to this, you're like,
Speaker 5: I can do all those, you know. I got My
Speaker 5: waist to height ratio is zero point five. I can
Speaker 5: do the hang. I can knock out fifty plush ups.
Speaker 5: I can run a seven minute mile. Try the farmer's walk.
Speaker 5: Half your body weight in each hand, walk around for
Speaker 5: a minute, and don't drop the dumbbells farmers walk.
Speaker 2: That's that's a good one to work on.
Speaker 11: That.
Speaker 2: That grip strength P.
Speaker 5: Right exactly precisely would be a nice carryover effect to that.
Speaker 3: See I've got a I've got a joke about the
Speaker 3: grip strength. I'm not going to do it.
Speaker 2: Of course you do.
Speaker 5: You might have. You might have some really conditioned forearms.
Speaker 1: That guys, right, forearm incredible by what's your regimen?
Speaker 3: A lot of reps, HI volume, a lot of reps
Speaker 3: with that, PJ. We will let you go, buddy. People
Speaker 3: want to find out more. Where can they go?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Sure. If if you want a real plan, not
Speaker 5: just random workouts, but actual coaching, structure, accountability that actually
Speaker 5: works for men like you, I've got you covered. My
Speaker 5: coaching program is under four four dollars a day and

Speaker 3: Our good friend PJ. Street. And yeah, how how much
Speaker 3: time do you spend in the gym and day? I'm
Speaker 3: just curious. I know you'd go to the gym every day.
Speaker 1: No, not every day. I thought you did that this
Speaker 1: time of you're three days a week. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: usually run another day or two. But uh, I don't.
Speaker 2: Not very long.
Speaker 1: I mean I'm probably forty five minutes fifty minutes topped by,
Speaker 1: and that's.
Speaker 2: Like warm up stretch everything, is that, right?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I try to motor through it because yeah, I'm.
Speaker 3: You don't do cardio, you just go in and lift well,
Speaker 3: and I.
Speaker 1: Know, but I my lifting is kind of my card
Speaker 1: I try to keep it, keep the pace up a
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, just get a little two for
Speaker 1: there and I run, like you know, usually two days
Speaker 1: a week something to some some kind of like sprinting
Speaker 1: and some kind of jogging.
Speaker 3: Do you run on the treadmill or on the on the.
Speaker 1: Street, on the on the street when I can if
Speaker 1: it's zero degrees, I don't hit the treadmill, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I don't.

Speaker 3: the other day when you were out and he was
Speaker 3: talking that now it's kind of a burden. It's gonna
Speaker 3: in other word, just going to take a long time

Speaker 3: know what all what was what and what ain't what?
Speaker 2: Right? Gotcha?
Speaker 1: Another news that I had the story yesterday about remember
Speaker 1: the the van that wrecked and had the monkeys on
Speaker 1: it that Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: When they have a HEPSI.
Speaker 1: COVID and herpes I think a pretty lethal.
Speaker 2: Combination if you ask me.
Speaker 3: Not good.
Speaker 5: Not good.
Speaker 2: These things aren't doing very well.
Speaker 1: First of all, I sang the story like a follow
Speaker 1: up to it last night. I think they said that
Speaker 1: there was three and now they're like, oh, there may
Speaker 1: be more kind of thing. They have found them, but anyway.
Speaker 3: They they didn't catch any of them.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't think so have had.
Speaker 3: These people ever watched a movie before.
Speaker 1: I agree, But they've told people like don't even don't
Speaker 1: call it if you see one, like, don't call the
Speaker 1: cops and be like, hey, we should kill it right there,
Speaker 1: kill it, which is probably easier and said the easier
Speaker 1: said than done for most people.
Speaker 2: It's right.
Speaker 3: I mean, don't you're gonna you're asking me to engage
Speaker 3: with a fully diseased monkey, right, crazed monkey?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're going to do I mean, hopefully have a
Speaker 1: gun at home and walk around here with a shovel
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. There's gonna be some nimrod who's
Speaker 3: going to say, I'll see you monkey outside, honey capturing.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: Anyway, along those lines, here's another story of monkey business.
Speaker 2: Get that head?
Speaker 3: Did you get it?
Speaker 2: Sorry?
Speaker 1: This is in Plano, Texas, and it's that one of
Speaker 1: those uh spirit Halloween stores, right. Really they just out
Speaker 1: of the blue, like around October first, they just pop
Speaker 1: up and they have all the Halloween costumes. Well, some
Speaker 1: guy goes in there with a like a pet monkey,
Speaker 1: apparently because there's video, uh you know, and if you
Speaker 1: if you cut to the heart of the video, it's
Speaker 1: like this monkey like literally swinging around on the rafters
Speaker 1: and just like causing chaos, knocking stuff off the shelves
Speaker 1: and da da da da dah.
Speaker 2: So the things got kind of losing his mind.
Speaker 1: This is like for more than thirty minutes, this monkey
Speaker 1: is like climbing around, swinging around on stuff on all
Speaker 1: the displays, climbing up pillars, hanging from the ceiling, and
Speaker 1: so everyone's you know.
Speaker 2: It's like mass chaos.
Speaker 1: Then finally, uh they track down the owner who I guess,
Speaker 1: uh yeah, the fat and the owner and calm it down.
Speaker 1: In the owner got a hold of monkey, put its
Speaker 1: diaper on him, and walk down the store. That's the
Speaker 1: even weirder part. See now a pet monkey with a diaper.
Speaker 3: I have never heard a monkey owning story.
Speaker 5: End.
Speaker 3: Well, I ain't gonna.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, boy, you know Dave.
Speaker 1: He had that monkey for fifteen years, a great pet,
Speaker 1: and that was it.
Speaker 3: No, I I had And this is going to sound
Speaker 3: made up, but it's not. Down in uh West Virginia,
Speaker 3: down the down the road. It wasn't a street. It
Speaker 3: was a road from my grandma's house and up a
Speaker 3: dirt road down in a holler. That's what lived my aunt, Myrtle.
Speaker 3: Myrtle Myrtle lived there. I forget what her husband's name was.
Speaker 2: Great name for an old aunt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think she was like my great aunt
Speaker 3: or something. I ready got that straight. But her husband
Speaker 3: had died years before. But she had a pet monkey,
Speaker 3: uh pets like it was one of those little guy
Speaker 3: like squirrel monkey or something. And that thing was mean
Speaker 3: as a snake. If it could, if it could have,
Speaker 3: like you hear chimps ripping your face off, if that
Speaker 3: monkey could have ripped her face off, it would have
Speaker 3: ripped your face off.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 3: And I was like, and I remember thinking I was
Speaker 3: just a little kid, which I thought a monkey, having
Speaker 3: a pet monkey was cool.
Speaker 2: Right until you saw the thing.
Speaker 3: Well, it looked cute when I was just sitting there.
Speaker 3: But because you want to stick your fingers in there,
Speaker 3: and then you know, play with them and stuff and yeah,
Speaker 3: pet them and and I was only about six seven
Speaker 3: years old, but I totally remember my mom going, don't
Speaker 3: you ever stick your fingers in that cage? I was like,
Speaker 3: what's a monkey?
Speaker 22: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Watch a Tarzan movie. Cheeta was a nice guy.
Speaker 2: Right, So it would it bite people? Would it?
Speaker 5: Just?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, if you stuck your finger there, it would
Speaker 3: bite your finger right off. Wow, it immediately went for you.
Speaker 1: I just I mean, whether it's that or like someone
Speaker 1: that has a dog gets me unless you're using the
Speaker 1: dog or the animal for protection, which no one is
Speaker 1: using that, like a ten pound monkey for protection.
Speaker 2: But I don't know why you would have a mean.
Speaker 3: Well in typical stuff like that though. She could opened
Speaker 3: the cage door and it would just run right up
Speaker 3: her arm and sit on her shoulder and sitting there
Speaker 3: feeding him crackers or whatever. Yeah, but anybody else man death.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 3: Oh, I told you a story about my buddy had
Speaker 3: a parrot and the same thing and the parrot would
Speaker 3: you know, he could take the parrot out and sit
Speaker 3: on his shoulder like a pirate and stuff, and you know,
Speaker 3: beat kiss him and that type of stuff, and it
Speaker 3: would be like with him and as soon as somebody
Speaker 3: else you would get him on his finger and you'd
Speaker 3: go and try to put him close to your face.
Speaker 3: He would bite you on the nose or bite your lip.
Speaker 2: That would that would even mark you know.
Speaker 3: Let me well, let me tell you something very uh
Speaker 3: perhaps intoxicated head fingers. We were there late one night
Speaker 3: and because I that I'm sleeping on his floor for
Speaker 3: a little bit, there's up in Cleveland, and he had
Speaker 3: the bird out and he's like, you gotta make friends
Speaker 3: with the bird. The bird he's not mean. I was like,
Speaker 3: that bird's a mean a snake man. And he's like, no, no,
Speaker 3: be nice to the bird. Talk nice to him, blah
Speaker 3: blah blah. And I'm starting to believe it because you know,
Speaker 3: I've got a couple of shots in me or whatnot.
Speaker 3: And so he puts it on my finger and the
Speaker 3: birds like, and I go, hi, birdie, come here, get
Speaker 3: mere right, And it's winter time in Cleveland, and it
Speaker 3: was my lips were chatapped and nan, I mean just
Speaker 3: like crispy. And I get that bird up next to
Speaker 3: my mouth and he just.
Speaker 2: Goes, ah, yeah.
Speaker 3: It sticks his little hooked beak right through the skin
Speaker 3: of my lower lip, and I'm like, and I mean
Speaker 3: blood's like weak and uh, he goes ah, well, sorry about.
Speaker 5: That, bro.
Speaker 13: Away.
Speaker 2: By the way, totally related but unrelated.
Speaker 1: I was somehow online something, was looking up something and
Speaker 1: found out there was a like a metal band, like
Speaker 1: a death metal band, that has a parrot as a
Speaker 1: lead singer.
Speaker 2: They're called Hate Beak.
Speaker 1: They're for around from like twenty two thousand and three
Speaker 1: to like twenty ten.
Speaker 2: I swear to god, Hate Beak. The parrot was the
Speaker 2: lead singer.
Speaker 3: That has to be from like Sweden, nurse something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure it was. I Ben looked this up.
Speaker 3: Sadly enough, I would pay to watch that. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: would pay to watch a metal band with a parrot
Speaker 3: as a lead singer.
Speaker 2: Here it is here. Sure I was right.
Speaker 1: Hate Beak an American death metal band known for integrating
Speaker 1: the squawk, screeches and other sounds of an African gray
Speaker 1: parrot named Waldo, who was their lead singer.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: They did not tour in order to protect Waldo from distress.
Speaker 1: The band's music is described as loud and intense.
Speaker 2: Well to get a couple cuts of.
Speaker 3: That, can we can we play any other, any other?
Speaker 3: I got track, I.
Speaker 1: Gotta I gotta check it, make sure it's because it's
Speaker 1: it's it's in the death metal grind core genre.
Speaker 2: That's you're taking a little risk there.
Speaker 3: So rocking other. While we're talking about animals in particular
Speaker 3: the bird is genre, a woman is suing sea World
Speaker 3: down in Orlando for fifty thousand dollars after being hit
Speaker 3: in the face by a duck while she was writing
Speaker 3: their big coaster there. Uh it's I guess it's just
Speaker 3: becoming published. It happened in March when the duck flew
Speaker 3: into the path of the roller coaster car, causing the
Speaker 3: woman to be knocked unconscious.
Speaker 2: Damn rate of speed.
Speaker 3: The woman's attorneys claimed that SeaWorld should have warned about
Speaker 3: the potential danger of bird strikes due to the coaster's
Speaker 3: location near a body of water.
Speaker 2: Come away, I guess they've warned you right.
Speaker 3: SeaWorld hasn't commented. The Makeo coaster, which this thing is
Speaker 3: at sea World, is described as the tallest and fastest
Speaker 3: roller coaster in the city, and there's a lot of
Speaker 3: them in Orlando, reaching speeds up to seventy three miles
Speaker 3: an hour. And goes to at the highest point two
Speaker 3: hundred feet. But can you imagine, dude, you're going along.
Speaker 2: Dark hitting you at seventy months plus miles.
Speaker 3: Per hour right in the face.
Speaker 2: Then you can't account for something like that.
Speaker 3: Yes, well I'm sure somebody Well if it knocks, well,
Speaker 3: there's no way it's not going to knock you out.
Speaker 3: What would you think when that happened, because you wouldn't obviously,
Speaker 3: you wouldn't see it coming all of a sudden. It's
Speaker 3: just like boom, you're out. It'd be like somebody just
Speaker 3: suck or punched you from.
Speaker 1: Think, yes, somebody punched you, or yeah, somebody shot you
Speaker 1: with something. That would be the first thing to go
Speaker 1: through your head besides the ducks peak, because it's just.
Speaker 3: The duck's bill like stuck on the side of your
Speaker 3: head like a cart like a Davvy Duck cartoon.
Speaker 2: Dude, he said, ducks sticking out of your face.
Speaker 3: His bills sticking in there like the old Davvy Duck cartoons.
Speaker 3: He would be there without his bill and be like
Speaker 3: and retover and pluck it out of your head and
Speaker 3: stick it back on his face.
Speaker 2: You know, it was still the best by the way.

Speaker 3: Dot com jays. How we look in last week.
Speaker 5: We were good.
Speaker 25: We bracketed Thursday night and Monday night Sunday we went even,
Speaker 25: so we were actually up four units last week.
Speaker 3: See that's I guess that's good. Well, I know we
Speaker 3: talked about what units means. But if you're up for
Speaker 3: I'm this dollars, is this lira?
Speaker 5: Is it?
Speaker 2: Your unit?
Speaker 5: Unit is?
Speaker 25: Your unit is unlike unlike what we might talk about
Speaker 25: in the locker room, or unit is actually just the
Speaker 25: amount of money you bet per bet come.
Speaker 5: So whether it's.
Speaker 25: Ten dollars, fifty dollars or for those pros out in Vegas, ten.
Speaker 5: Thousand dollars a game. Okay, I saw that's one unit.
Speaker 3: So you don't say, well, my ten dollars bet hit,
Speaker 3: but my twenty dollars bet. Didn't you just say that
Speaker 3: units did? Or okay, I guess.
Speaker 25: Yeah, the ten dollars bet would be one unit. Twenty
Speaker 25: dollars bet would be a two unit bet.
Speaker 4: See.
Speaker 3: Now, if I gamble with my wife playing blackjack, I
Speaker 3: have my unit's not the same as hers. You know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, I don't they don't count the same.
Speaker 3: But she's got her unit, is her own unit? Yeah
Speaker 3: that makes sense, right, HER's heh yeah yeah, if she
Speaker 3: bets more than five dollars. I look at her funny,
Speaker 3: because I was like, you don't really know. You're here
Speaker 3: to socialize, not to play cards.
Speaker 2: Why are you betting that much? Do you know something
Speaker 2: that I don't? Or right? Or are you just you
Speaker 2: have too many glasses?
Speaker 3: The one you have a thing with a dealer? What's
Speaker 3: going on?
Speaker 19: Right?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 11: All right?
Speaker 3: Well, let's get to the business at head and talk
Speaker 3: about football. The game tonight Ravens at Fins and Ravens
Speaker 3: by seven and a half. And I don't even know
Speaker 3: if that's high enough. Guys, do you no?
Speaker 25: I'm in the same boat. I thought this would be
Speaker 25: a ten and a half game when it opened, and
Speaker 25: it only opened at six and a half.
Speaker 5: It's been bet up to seven and a half.
Speaker 25: I'm all over the Ravens on this. There's a reason
Speaker 25: Vegas still has them as the favorites to win the
Speaker 25: AFC North even though they only have two wins on
Speaker 25: the season.
Speaker 2: Here we go, all right.
Speaker 1: And then so look the next one here we've got
Speaker 1: to talk about the Colts and the Steelers. Here, I'm
Speaker 1: seeing the Colts minus three and a half here, maybe
Speaker 1: the biggest story of the NFL this year. How good
Speaker 1: the Colts are offense? Defense, Liu hnt Roumo getting done,
Speaker 1: Hundy maybe the best offensive line. A lot of folks
Speaker 1: are talking about that now. Yeah, minus three and a
Speaker 1: half Colts.
Speaker 25: Yeah, I'm all over the Colts. As we all know
Speaker 25: NFL and really the game of football is one of
Speaker 25: the trenches, the start ever being off. So I'm all
Speaker 25: over the Colts on this. I think they sneakily have
Speaker 25: the best overall roster there is right now in the NFL.
Speaker 25: Execution might be a little down compared to say what
Speaker 25: we've seen with the last two weeks with Kansas City,
Speaker 25: But the Colts they look like a wagon right now.
Speaker 25: They look like a fa to definitely come out of
Speaker 25: that division and possibly make an AFC championship, Ronz.
Speaker 5: So I'm all over the Colts on that one, all right?
Speaker 3: And how about Vikes at Lions. I'm seeing Lions by
Speaker 3: eight and a half and Vikings lose Carson Wentz, who's
Speaker 3: going to quarterback for that team?
Speaker 5: Now, they're going to be forced to use GJ. McCarthy
Speaker 5: this week.
Speaker 25: I think they've been hiding him because what they see
Speaker 25: is not good enough.
Speaker 5: That's just my guess.
Speaker 25: I'm obviously not tuned in up there, but I don't
Speaker 25: see any way the Vikings get close to the Lions
Speaker 25: in this game. I'm all over the Lions. Give me
Speaker 25: whatever the spread is.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go out to We've got the Broncos
Speaker 1: at the Texans.
Speaker 2: Pretty evil in here. I'm seeing minus one and a half.
Speaker 1: I never know what to think of these real close
Speaker 1: games from a line standpoint.
Speaker 25: Now, yeah, this is a weird one because I honestly
Speaker 25: thought this would just be a pick them, as in
Speaker 25: pick a winner, and that's it.
Speaker 5: Minus one ten on the odds.
Speaker 25: Just because the Texans have looked a lot better on
Speaker 25: defense and the Broncos have a really good defense. On
Speaker 25: this game, I'm all over the under. But if if
Speaker 25: I had to flip a coin, or you put a
Speaker 25: gun to my head, whatever, take a pick. I'm going
Speaker 25: to take the Texans at home to cover the one
Speaker 25: and a half.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: The align on that where the over on that is
Speaker 3: a little low to me. I don't have thirty nine
Speaker 3: and a half. Does that get top?
Speaker 25: Yeah, it's I mean it's super low for a reason.
Speaker 25: Normally you'd think the standard average in the NFL. I
Speaker 25: think this year is either forty one and a half
Speaker 25: or forty two and a half, just because that's the basic.
Speaker 25: You're going to score at least twenty points on either side.
Speaker 25: And when a game goes under, that is when it
Speaker 25: sets off alarms, like, hey, maybe pick the under because
Speaker 25: there might only be twenty seven points scored in the game.
Speaker 3: All right, next game we're looking at is Jags at
Speaker 3: the Raiders. Jags minus three. In that game, the over
Speaker 3: forty four and three. Man, right, they're looking good forty
Speaker 3: five and a half. They're in Vegas.
Speaker 25: This is one of those matchups that they should have
Speaker 25: sent overseas, just because we send them terrible games all
Speaker 25: the time.
Speaker 3: In my opinion, you really need to do I agree with don't.
Speaker 25: I don't like you these teams. And to be honest,
Speaker 25: in Oakland, they just signed Tyler Lockett, so they're basically
Speaker 25: getting the once, once upon a time.
Speaker 5: Good Seahawks back together. The problem is they're all old.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 25: I like the over in this game because I don't
Speaker 25: know how much defense is going to get played. But
Speaker 25: at the same time, I got to go with the
Speaker 25: Jags just because they have Trevor Lawrence and they have
Speaker 25: a very good young defense.
Speaker 1: So all right, let's goes. You know, I'm a big
Speaker 1: one here, right Chiefs and Bills. Bills kind of need
Speaker 1: to get back on track a little bit. Thiefs started
Speaker 1: off the season the dynasty's over, and now they look
Speaker 1: pretty good here.
Speaker 25: So the Chiefs last two weeks have been unequivocally the
Speaker 25: best offense we've seen in the NFL this year. And
Speaker 25: it's not even closed. If you look at what Andy
Speaker 25: Reid did in the screen game against the Raiders and
Speaker 25: then you look at what he did last week in
Speaker 25: the intermediate passing game.
Speaker 5: He is humming right now. And I don't.
Speaker 25: Think anyone, especially Buffalo's defense, can slow down the Chiefs
Speaker 25: right now. So I'm going over and I'm going Chiefs
Speaker 25: minus the points.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 3: Well, OK, I mean and again talking about flipping the switch,
Speaker 3: Ravens and Chiefs get hit mid season, Well, the Ravens
Speaker 3: didn't have Jackson, but now the Chiefs have flipped it.
Speaker 3: So let's talk about the Monday night game. Kind of
Speaker 3: a Yawner Cards at the Cowboys. Cowboys by two and
Speaker 3: a half.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 25: I like the Cowboys just because the Cardinals aren't healthy yet.
Speaker 25: It's gonna probably be another two weeks before they're fully back.
Speaker 25: They are coming off a bye. I don't know how
Speaker 25: much it's gonna help them. The Cowboys look really solid
Speaker 25: on both sides of the ball, and Dak Prescott is
Speaker 25: playing his best season of football right now since he's
Speaker 25: been a professional. So I'm all over the Cowboys, even
Speaker 25: though once upon a time I was a Cardinal season
Speaker 25: ticket holder. I just don't think they have the horses
Speaker 25: for the game this week.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the big one here. Bengals Bengals,
Speaker 1: Bengals Bears at Bengals. I'm seeing Bears minus two and
Speaker 1: a half.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 25: So, for all your listeners who haven't tuned in today
Speaker 25: or aren't hardcore following hour by hour Bengals news, both
Speaker 25: Trey Hendrickson and Rogan will and we're not dressed for
Speaker 25: practice today.
Speaker 5: Joe Flacco was. He was presumably gonna throw.
Speaker 25: But that wasn't during the media availability portion of the practice.
Speaker 25: I DeAndre Swift might look like Walter Payton this week.
Speaker 25: We saw what the Jets run game did to the Bengals.
Speaker 5: Last week.
Speaker 25: They had more running yards dan passing yards despite being
Speaker 25: down by two scores multiple times in the game. I
Speaker 25: don't know how the Bengals stopped the run unless their
Speaker 25: defensive front seven finally starts stepping up, which has not
Speaker 25: been the case since Week one in Cleveland. So as
Speaker 25: much as I much as I hate to say it
Speaker 25: for all of our listeners out there, I cannot in
Speaker 25: good contest take the Bengals to do anything against the
Speaker 25: Bears this Sunday. And the best chance they have is
Speaker 25: to get an early lead, force justin fields to throw
Speaker 25: the ball. But as we saw last week, I mean goodness,
Speaker 25: how open were the Jets. It's wide receivers in the
Speaker 25: secondary on those intermediate throws from say twelve to fifteen
Speaker 25: yards twenty yards.
Speaker 5: It was ridiculous.
Speaker 25: So I'm going to go the over just because I
Speaker 25: think there's still a bunch of points scored. But I
Speaker 25: do not like the Bengals to even cover the six
Speaker 25: points that I saw earlier. Today I've seen five and
Speaker 25: a half. I've seen six and six and a half.
Speaker 25: I don't know how the Bengals keep it that close,
Speaker 25: to be honest, just because they're so bad on defense.
Speaker 3: Wow, so maybe you have PTSD they're Jase, but it
Speaker 3: doesn't field as a quarterback and the Bears anymore. My
Speaker 3: mistake in there, I'm like tripping right now.
Speaker 2: Yeh no, that was my fault.
Speaker 5: My fault.
Speaker 1: I mean the Bengals don't want to face him exactly
Speaker 1: shocking think they we would, but not at all.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Cal Williams, I apologize.
Speaker 3: It was my crew up, That's all good.
Speaker 25: I was going through my I was going through my
Speaker 25: notes as we were talking, and I hit the justin
Speaker 25: field stats in front of me, and that's why said
Speaker 25: the name.
Speaker 2: Jason.
Speaker 1: I don't know I'm gonna be throwing this on you,
Speaker 1: but a good college game one that's you know, particular
Speaker 1: interest to me, uh Vandy at Texas, I mean Vandy
Speaker 1: seven and one. I called the Commodorees about a month ago,
Speaker 1: saw how legit they were, and they've been just putting
Speaker 1: on I mean, great displays of football at Texas, which
Speaker 1: of course is a different animal. Texas probably still has
Speaker 1: one of the better defenses in the country. I'm seeing
Speaker 1: Texas minus three and a half.
Speaker 2: How do you see this one.
Speaker 25: I'm all over the number on Texas here. I think
Speaker 25: they I think they're starting to get right at the
Speaker 25: right time. And Diego Pavilla is awesome of a storyline
Speaker 25: as him being so confident in himself. Is there at Bandy.
Speaker 25: They they just don't have the roster up and down.
Speaker 5: All the way through. I don't think the hangs with Texas.
Speaker 25: So I'm gonna take Texas minus the points, and I'm
Speaker 25: also gonna take the over that I think is gonna
Speaker 25: cover late in that game.
Speaker 3: All right with that, Jase, we will let you go, buddy, good.
Speaker 5: Luck, all right, Jens, Let's go make some money.
Speaker 3: All right, thanks Chase, our good friend Jason Hoffman from
Speaker 3: The Inquirer Cincinnati dot com. So, yeah, well, the whole
Speaker 3: here in Wilson and Hendrickson maybe out on Sunday Flaco,
Speaker 3: who knows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess you know part of it.
Speaker 1: I would if Jake Browning does start, I hope he
Speaker 1: comes back and plays well because he's a genuinely nice
Speaker 1: guy and I think a good player, and for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: he always kind of root for someone who seemingly got
Speaker 1: their chance, and Dick just couldn't deliver on right he's
Speaker 1: in a contract year, He's going to be the guy,
Speaker 1: and it just didn't happen for him.
Speaker 2: So I for.
Speaker 1: No others sake, you know, if he does play hob
Speaker 1: he goes out there and plays well for future his
Speaker 1: career because he's a genuinely good guy and a guy
Speaker 1: who works tremendously hard. He's not someone who just mails
Speaker 1: it in and hope he can figure out a way
Speaker 1: to get it together.
Speaker 3: See, I think that's a thing. A lot of people
Speaker 3: are going to feel that way about it. Give him
Speaker 3: another chance to see what happens. How much worst can
Speaker 3: it get? After last week? With that, we check in

Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And when we say yesterday, you're I'm gonna be a
Speaker 2: what are you gonna be? A slutty nurse, slutty nurse,
Speaker 2: slutty fireman?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, And we talked to our good friend Miranda
Speaker 3: McGee who's going to be a slutty kangaroo from Australia.
Speaker 2: Now that's an outfit I have to see.
Speaker 3: But there's a survey out the kind of a thing
Speaker 3: going on in regard to Halloween. Of course, it's a
Speaker 3: you gov survey talking about Americans and their belief in
Speaker 3: the supernatural, like supernatural stuff like ghosts and demons. Their
Speaker 3: survey found that forty three percent of respondents believe in demons,
Speaker 3: while forty two percent believe in psychics and thirty eight
Speaker 3: percent believe in ghosts. Now, see, I read those figures,
Speaker 3: and I would think it would be the other way around.
Speaker 3: You believe in a demon, but you don't believe in
Speaker 3: a ghost. I think it's much more like they're a ghosts, yeah.
Speaker 1: Because then you believe that there's nice ghosts and evil ghosts.
Speaker 3: Right, But I mean, what constitutes a demon? I want
Speaker 3: to know. I mean, I guess it with Satan and
Speaker 3: all that stuff for you, but it's really just thing
Speaker 3: like deb.
Speaker 2: But in like a hologram form.
Speaker 3: Oh dude, I see it real time.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah. Well, and you're gonna be dealing with
Speaker 2: that throughout eternity when you do pass.
Speaker 3: I know, right, And I'm gonna have to do something
Speaker 3: really horrible so I can go to Hell. It'll be
Speaker 3: a much easier ride, much easier than going to spending
Speaker 3: eternity with her.
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
Speaker 3: What are you doing? What's going on? I'll be sleeping
Speaker 3: there on my on my cloud and she'll be like, hey,
Speaker 3: what's going on?
Speaker 2: Hey much?
Speaker 3: Let's watch think driving and.
Speaker 2: Dies like shut that show?
Speaker 3: Right to be like again? U? So women are most
Speaker 3: more likely to believe in psychics, with forty seven percent
Speaker 3: of women thirty six percent of men believing in psychics. Now,
Speaker 3: do you believe in psychics? I don't believe in psychics.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: I told you I visited the psychic Chris henrything that
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have I wouldn't have believed it unless I
Speaker 1: I experienced it.
Speaker 2: I do believe it.
Speaker 3: Well, I did get I told you I went to
Speaker 3: the Renaissance Fair a long time ago with my then
Speaker 3: girlfriend and we got our tarot cards read and the
Speaker 3: U and she read my palm and a lot of
Speaker 3: stuff she said was pretty spot on. But you don't
Speaker 3: have to be a psychic too. It wasn't like saying,
Speaker 3: you know, you know, I'm at thirty at that stage,
Speaker 3: thirty years old or whatever I was, So it's not
Speaker 3: like you have a whole lot of life history. So
Speaker 3: you can pretty much that's a pretty shallow pool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see in this you. Uh you like the
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Red Is that right?
