<v Speaker 1>He's got the beach house. I know. I should should

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:33.600

<v Speaker 2>But good to be here on a Friday, ed and

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 2>uh while I was well, it happened before I left.

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.840
<v Speaker 2>But the big news, of course on the Bengals front,

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Joe Flacco, you're a boy straight from the Browns, is

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 2>now part of the Cincinnati Bengals.

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, let's talk to our good friend, as we always

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>do this time every Friday. It's our our friend, Richard

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Skinner Local twelve and skinny. What's the what is the

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>skinny on Flaco? As far as the you know, he'said

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>a couple of days to play with these guys.

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's been a whirlwind week. We talked to

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:13.199
<v Speaker 3>him today. It was funny and I'm writing a story

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.119
<v Speaker 3>on him right now. And uh, the lead really involved

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.319
<v Speaker 3>revolves are alway talked about. He hardly ever gets his

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 3>wife involved in like helping him regurgitate plays during the week,

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 3>he said, but I actually had to pull her in,

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 3>and he goes, she actually did pretty good. So what

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 3>happens is she'll like say a play and then he

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:30.960
<v Speaker 3>has to say it back and kind of picture what

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 3>that play is. And then he says, you know a

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 3>lot of quarterbacks do that to to kind of get

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 3>the flow of well, how they want to call it,

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 3>how it's supposed to be called, all those things, And

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 3>he said, she actually called it pretty well, because there's

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:42.479
<v Speaker 3>a certain way you got to have it come out

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 3>of your mouth. It's it's not just words, it's the

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 3>way the words are presented. And I thought that was

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 3>pretty that's pretty good stuff. But I think that shows you.

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they have they have had the speed time warp,

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 3>getting him ready to learn a new offense to get

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 3>all and there's a lot to it, and it is

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 3>it's knowing, it's knowing the protection checks, it's knowing the checks,

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.559
<v Speaker 3>it's knowing is this a run tag? And this a motion?

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 3>What are what are these things? And I mean you

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 3>got to do all that in a span of about

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 3>three days to get ready to play, and we'll find out.

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 3>I think it's it's it's fascinating to watch. It's at

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.080
<v Speaker 3>least now interesting, right. I mean, the last three games

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 3>were a disaster. I felt like things were heading nowhere.

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if this is gonna work or not.

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't think they know if it's gonna work or not.

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 3>But it's at least interesting and we're gonna find out.

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 2>And bring up a good point about talking the play

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.359
<v Speaker 2>call back. If you watch that series Quarterback on Netflix,

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.519
<v Speaker 2>that's something I remember from that series that Kirk Cousins

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:37.880
<v Speaker 2>would do.

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>He would record.

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Himself on his phone saying the calls and repeating them back.

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's one way to learn.

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I also read something skinny about how he's gonna wear

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 2>a wristband and how is that gonna help? They have

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 2>the helmet, the helmet communication, but he's also gonna have

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 2>a wrist band.

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Can you elaborate on that?

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And Joe Burrow has done that. In fact, Zach

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 3>Taylor told us today that that they do that almost

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 3>all the time on the road with the quarterbacks. He's like, hey, man,

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 3>if we're in Kansas City or in the low red zone,

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 3>you can't hear yourself think. So I'll just go to

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.079
<v Speaker 3>the play, you know, going to the headset, He goes,

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 3>I may say two words about the play that kind

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 3>of clues them in on what it is. And then

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 3>I'll go play number twelve on your sheet, and that

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 3>way they can look down real quick at play number

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 3>twelve and spit the call out from there. So, Joe,

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.519
<v Speaker 3>this is not new for really, for really the Bengals,

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 3>but it is interesting because I guess I've never paid

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.359
<v Speaker 3>any attention to Joe Burrow wearing it. I've actually I

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 3>called up a couple of pictures and looked at and go,

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 3>I guys, he has won it before. So it is

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:36.839
<v Speaker 3>something they do almost all the time on the road,

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:38.080
<v Speaker 3>just because of how loud it can be.

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>I have to imagine most of it is just verbiage.

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the concepts are the same. It's just what

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 2>he called a mesh concept in Cleveland is now called

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 2>something totally different.

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>So that that's probably the biggest loophole here.

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no question. And you know you have forty seves

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 3>on the play clock, right the head coach gets to

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 3>call in at thirty five and then you can't completely

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 3>remember how to spit that out correctly. And then somebody

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 3>the hddle looks at you and goes, huh, I hear it.

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 3>And now you're down to like fifteen seconds. And so

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 3>you finally get out the huddle and you're down to

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 3>ten seconds. And then you got to make you know,

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 3>you see a different defensive look and you're you're expecting

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 3>you see them maybe coming up caring with the blitz.

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.160
<v Speaker 3>You gotta seen some mother stuff. Well you know what

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 3>play clock expired. So it's it's important. I mean, I

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 3>think everybody thinks it's it's something that's easy to just

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:25.919
<v Speaker 3>spit that play out and go run it. There's a

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 3>lot that goes into it, believe it or not. And

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 3>it's different from Joe Burrow who's done this in this

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 3>system for six years. It's a guy who's done it

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 3>for three days for goodness sakes. That's a lot.

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.280
<v Speaker 1>And we're talking to Richard Skinner and Rocket. This is

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.279
<v Speaker 1>more of a question for you what is actually on

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I've always wondered that what exactly is on those wristband

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 1>those a little flip things there. I mean, is it

0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>just it's a code.

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I assume, yes, it's usually just yeah, yeah, it's just

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 2>just play calls and you know, having and I don't

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 2>know exactly, there's a million ways you can break them down,

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.480
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, it's just play called. Like Skinny said, the

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 2>easiest way to communicate is for Zach to commover the

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 2>headset and say run play five. And he looks down

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 2>at the wristband and and you you call out whatever

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 2>play five is, and which is how many of you, how.

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Many of you eble de sensitive players in your day

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 3>try to rip that wrist band off of the quarterback?

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, see, but that's the thing is, you know, you

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 2>would look at it and it would probably look like Chinese,

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, like a lot of the.

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 3>It would, but he would. But but there's the question.

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Do they have backup wrist bands in case you're still there?

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's that's my big thing. But you stole

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 3>there the one he's got, and they don't have a

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 3>backup player already written out of that thing.

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>You're flying blind, brother, that's true.

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they don't have an extra laminated copy of the

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:43.480
<v Speaker 2>of the sheet.

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>You know what, that's a damn. The Benguishon Institute that

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:47.480
<v Speaker 1>this week that might.

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Help us get a little edge on somebody's wrist band.

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:52.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Not on the play on the risk rules, that might

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 3>just be against the rules. I'm gonna guess I don't

0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 3>know what rule that's breaking, but I'm sure there's some

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 3>there's a rule back.

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Richard Skinner's our guests and skinny uh and Joe Flagger

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.839
<v Speaker 2>is not gonna love this making his first start, but

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Zach Taylor anounced I guess t or Jamar Chase is

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 2>sick and may not play.

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 1>What's the story with this?

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean he sent he's sent him home today

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 3>for after the walk through. He did take part in

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 3>the meeting and the walk through, and then send him

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 3>home for practice, just to get some rest. I'm gonna

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 3>guess that an illness on a Friday doesn't mean a

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 3>big deal. Obviously, a monitor for the next two days.

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 3>I would guess if he was able to take part

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.600
<v Speaker 3>in some things today, that's probably not too bad, and

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 3>I would guess he will likely play. But obviously he's

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 3>questionable on the injury report because of that illness.

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>And what about the packers skinning you?

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Obviously we know Michael Parsons in there is there and

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 2>having a heck of a year. Jordan loves a quarterback.

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 2>They're one of the better teams in the NFL. What

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 2>do you know about the Packers and what can the

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 2>Bengals do here?

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, of course, the Bengals offensive line has struggled. There

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 3>are thirtieth in the NFL and pass rush russ win weight,

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 3>So that's not good. And you're facing a Packer team

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.039
<v Speaker 3>in which Micah Parsons has at least seven pressures in

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 3>each of the last three games. He only has two

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 3>and a half stacks on the season, but seven pressures

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 3>means he's bothering quarterbacks. Obviously, they bother quarterbacks. Now, Joe Flacco,

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 3>I think the positive is and it's been talked about

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 3>and written about this week. Has faced the Green Bay

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 3>Packers this season. He faced in just three weeks ago

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 3>and in Cleveland thirteen attend Now, flaccol wasn't great. He

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 3>was a twenty one to thirty six for like one

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 3>hundred and forty some odd yards, but they did win

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 3>thirteen to ten. So he has a I think a

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 3>fresh concept of that defense. You know, he even said

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 3>he goes you know, I've already seen him on film.

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 3>And then seen one on film and then seeing what

0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 3>they're like physically on the field, so that probably is

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 3>a little bit helpful.

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 4>And I think it is.

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 3>They've only played one game since the tie with Dallas

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 3>because they had a buy last week, so it's not

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 3>like all of a sudden you played them and then

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 3>eight more weeks ago buy and there's eight more weeks

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 3>of game film. There's only one other week of game

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 3>film and that was the Cowboys game. So I think

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 3>if there's a silver line, to some degree, he's he's

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 3>at least prepared for this opponent.

0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 3>I can't imagine preparing for an opponent, you know, as

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 3>extensively as you do and learning a new system all

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 3>in one week. So again, the silver line would be,

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 3>at least from a preparations standpoint, is probably more refresher

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 3>than than doing the deep dives because you've already done

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 3>that and then you know you're you're really immersed in

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 3>learning the system as much as you can.

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a winner or a loss out of it.

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, we want the Bengals to win, and if that happens,

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Joe Flacco is going to have to have a positive

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 2>impact in that.

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 1>But take that out of there.

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 2>I was just thinking about what does a good day

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.360
<v Speaker 2>for Joe Flacco look like? And for me, it's just

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.160
<v Speaker 2>got to be, you know, hitt and open guys. I

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 2>feel like that was what happened with Browning a lot.

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.199
<v Speaker 2>There'd be some guys opening a scheme and he was

0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.440
<v Speaker 2>either a tick late or he didn't see him, or.

0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 1>What about you?

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:46.560
<v Speaker 2>What is a a solid first game under tough circumstances

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 2>look like for Joe Flacco making making.

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.959
<v Speaker 3>Good decisions with the football number one? And I know

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:53.679
<v Speaker 3>it's if you're about to get sacked, thoughed in the

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 3>third row, you know, don't don't put the ball in danger,

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 3>hit open receivers, be on time. I think those are

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 3>some of things. You know, You've still got that howitzer

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.080
<v Speaker 3>for an arm, and so I think he can trust

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 3>throwing the ball occasionally into a tight window because he

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.440
<v Speaker 3>does have that big arm. But you're right, hit open

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 3>receivers that's had his number one. To your point, I mean,

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 3>I think this would be a big ass to go

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.559
<v Speaker 3>to Green Bay and win if Joe Burrow were quarterbacking.

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:18.840
<v Speaker 3>So I think the only thing you can do is

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 3>win or lose. It's just assume as a loss, because again,

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 3>like I said, I think it was gonna be tough

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.720
<v Speaker 3>anyway if you just look and go, that was some

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 3>confident offense. That that gives me a glimmer of hope,

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 3>because then you do have three straight games at home

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 3>the short week with Pittsburgh on Thursday night, then then

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 3>two winnable games with the Jets and Bears. It's conceivable

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.440
<v Speaker 3>even if you lose this game, as long as it

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 3>looks better and I think we'll know what it looks like.

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 3>If it looks better, right, then you get the five

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 3>and four it to buy and you go, Okay, you're

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 3>back into having a chance at this thing. And so

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.760
<v Speaker 3>I just think, yeah, I think people shouldn't get over

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 3>the skis if they lose. If it's if it's a

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 3>manner they lose the way they lost the Denver game

0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.320
<v Speaker 3>or the Minnesota game, or played for parts of the

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:03.199
<v Speaker 3>Detroit game, then sure. But if there's you know, defense,

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 3>Sal Golden, we talked to him this week. He thought

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.559
<v Speaker 3>his unit's getting better. They did force Detroit to punt

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 3>five times in that game, and they also gave up

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:14.080
<v Speaker 3>thirty five you know, points to their offense. But you know,

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 3>he thinks they're taking some steps forward if they can

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 3>take some steps forward in this game too, and you go, okay,

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 3>defense took a little step forward. They played pretty solid.

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.840
<v Speaker 3>Joe Flacco looked like a competent quarterback. And that's just

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 3>his first game, and you got to expect him to

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 3>keep improving. You know, his games go on and he

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 3>learns more and more about the offense and the timing

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 3>of it and all that, then you would feel, okay.

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I think, all right, that's our good friend to Richard

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Skinner and Skinny to let me ask you. The spread

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.560
<v Speaker 1>on this is fourteen points? You're taking that? Bet?

0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.319
<v Speaker 3>I am. It's just that's so much in the NFL, man,

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 3>it really truly is. I got you know, could it

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 3>goes sideways, sure, because we've seen two of the last

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 3>three games go completely sideways on them. But that's a

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 3>big number in the NFL at fourteen, especially if you

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:57.840
<v Speaker 3>put the little half point on the end of it.

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 3>Fourteen in the hook man, a two touch down spread

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.679
<v Speaker 3>in this league? Who sign me up to that?

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.280
<v Speaker 1>All right? All right, Richard Skinner, thanks so much, buddy,

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I got agree with Thanks Skinning, our good friend. H

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Richard Skinner, Local twelve, and I don't know, are you

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:18.560
<v Speaker 1>making that bad, bunny? I'm that fourteen points would scare

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the hell I don't bet sports, but that would scare

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the hell out of me.

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:25.360
<v Speaker 2>It's at Green Bay, which sways a little bit that way. Yeah,

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 2>I And this is why I stay away from because

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.439
<v Speaker 2>I agree with Skinny's point. I when you look at

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 2>most games come down to a field goal right in

0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>the NFL, So fourteen points is huge. There's just too

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 2>many unknowns for me to want to put any money

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 2>on this game. I mean the biggest one, of course, Flacco.

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:44.600
<v Speaker 2>How's he gonna look?

0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 6>All right? With that?

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 1>We check in with traffic and weather? What is going on? Seven?

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 1>What a glorious year.

0:11:51.880 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 2>This band White Snake went to number one on the charts,

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 2>made more famous by the video.

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I must say, well, there weren't great videos out.

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:12.360
<v Speaker 2>The route, Yes, and by great, it showed extremely hot

0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:13.880
<v Speaker 2>women and parties.

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 1>It's yes, you know, basically rolling around what was she on?

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I forget with it like a It wasn't a mazzle roddy,

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 1>but like it.

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.439
<v Speaker 2>Was like a ring a jaguarre or something maybe something

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.320
<v Speaker 2>like yeah, yeah, rolling around the hood. I mean it

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 2>doesn't take a genius to know that that'll work. But

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I give credit to the guy for saying that's what

0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 2>we're doing. I canna overthink this. Get the hottest rock

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.679
<v Speaker 2>chick on the planet rolling around on the hood of

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.199
<v Speaker 2>a hot car and people.

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Will watch it. Well, all those all those videos back then,

0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean that was one of them, the hot for

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, Van Halen, Hot for teacher. Come on, man,

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:58.880
<v Speaker 1>that was soft core porn. All right, here we go,

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Here we go. Yeah, I mean, think about the song.

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I think you're tying to tell you. Yeah.

0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Now, now I got a question for you that do

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 2>you like this song? You think this is a good

0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 2>rock song? Absolutely?

0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 2>So my question is, if you like this song and

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 2>you like White Snake, why do you not like the

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 2>band that is very similar to them, bon Jovi. It's

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.439
<v Speaker 2>like the stic, the same band, the same band. I mean,

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:38.000
<v Speaker 2>although I will admit David Coverdale is much cooler than

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 2>John bon Jovi, but still so is that what it

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.679
<v Speaker 2>comes down to for you?

0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:42.959
<v Speaker 3>See?

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 5>Now?

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 1>To me, bon Jovi is a little uh whissyfied. I

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 1>use that word because I can't use the other word.

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:58.600
<v Speaker 1>But uh, you know, Whitesnake had some bangers man. You know,

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.280
<v Speaker 1>they rocked a little harder than than bon Job. You

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>gotta admit Jovi was they were. They were a good

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:09.679
<v Speaker 1>pop band, so were the Monkeys. They were not in

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a rock and roll Hall of Fame either. Still a Night,

0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>by the way, is the best White Snake song, hands down, agreed,

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 1>hands down? Ok, yeah, you know there, but think about

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 1>that back in that day, the glorious days of m

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 1>t V, when like I said, Hot for Teacher, you

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 1>had Jay Giles band centerfold. You know, that's that's what

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.960
<v Speaker 1>it was, exactly like Hot for Teacher kind of right, yeah,

0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and uh and the the trilogy from Aerosmith with Steven

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Tyler's daughter and uh uh.

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Crazy amazing crime.

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 1>What was that? What was the other girl's name? I

0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 1>forget her name? I was Lived Tyler, Alicia Silverstone, Silverstone,

0:14:55.600 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of pseudo Lesbo, kind of maybe sword

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.120
<v Speaker 1>And it was like every video was like that though.

0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:11.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean for Aerosmith, a little egregious on that, by

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 2>the way, because the same video three times, but also

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.880
<v Speaker 2>like the same song three times just changed the hook,

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 2>changed the verse, a little amazing crazy and crying.

0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Come on, I totally why I agree with your assessment

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:31.560
<v Speaker 1>of that situation. But yeah, well I can't believe that

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Kiss and Never. I don't think Kiss ever did that?

0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 5>Did they?

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. I remember a kiss video would

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.480
<v Speaker 1>any and you would think that of all the people

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 1>in the world, Gene Simmons would have been like, I

0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.760
<v Speaker 1>put a couple of hot chicks in here and will

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.520
<v Speaker 1>have been kind of thunder would be a great video.

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 2>If I've talked about this documentary before, but it's called

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.840

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 2>was the guitarist from Kiss? Come on, Paul Paul Stanley.

0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:18.280

<v Speaker 2>don't want to do anything tacky or silly, he said,

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.600

<v Speaker 1>chocolate kind of you know, high end peanut butter. And

0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I ate one of them. I was like,

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:14.720
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be kidding me. This is like that when

0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I was like ate and ate my first recent cup

0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:20.199
<v Speaker 1>or something. You know, I was like, how the how

0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:24.119
<v Speaker 1>the recent cups used to taste like real? Exactly exactly?

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.880
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, So how about that that that brings home some chocolate?

0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 3>You pop open a.

0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:32.240
<v Speaker 4>Bottle of wine. And it turned out to be a

0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:33.159
<v Speaker 4>nice evening.

0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 1>And guess where well I won't even get into the

0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 1>ins and outs of it, if you know what I mean.

0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't there, but I heard it went well, guy

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:49.080
<v Speaker 1>living downstairs, it was awesome. So what about buying let's

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:53.720
<v Speaker 1>talk about buying protection plans. Everybody's going to buy electronics

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:55.080
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot.

0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:57.919
<v Speaker 4>A lot of people unger about that.

0:25:58.080 --> 0:25:58.359
<v Speaker 5>Man.

0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:01.679
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, a lot of people bought electronics this weekend, that

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 6>Amazon big deal October days, so.

0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 3>A lot of people bought stuff. The real purchasing time,

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:08.200
<v Speaker 3>of course.

0:26:08.040 --> 0:26:11.920
<v Speaker 6>Is November, around Black Friday. We're gonna be getting iPads, laptops,

0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:16.760
<v Speaker 6>new xboxes, PlayStations. There's Giant TVs seventy five inch TV

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:20.600
<v Speaker 6>and when you buy it, they're gonna say, hey, do

0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:22.440
<v Speaker 6>you want to spend an extra twenty five bucks in

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:24.960
<v Speaker 6>the protection plan? Because that's what they do. You know,

0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:27.840
<v Speaker 6>they offer that protection plan. The question is do you

0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:30.639
<v Speaker 6>buy it or do you not buy it? And a

0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:34.840
<v Speaker 6>good question and we looked into it and it's fascinating.

0:26:34.920 --> 0:26:39.119
<v Speaker 6>They say on an inexpensive item, no, because you can

0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 6>throw it away, like you know, those those slow cookers

0:26:42.040 --> 0:26:45.480
<v Speaker 6>and pressure pots for like forty bucks. You know, don't

0:26:45.520 --> 0:26:47.400
<v Speaker 6>get a protection plan with that. What are you gonna

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:49.680
<v Speaker 6>do get it repaired? You're not gonna repair a slow

0:26:49.720 --> 0:26:52.080
<v Speaker 6>cookers that you got for twenty five dollars. You're just

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:54.960
<v Speaker 6>wasting your money buying buying it on that on those

0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:56.160
<v Speaker 6>little kitchen gadgets.

0:26:56.240 --> 0:26:57.280
<v Speaker 3>Now you throw it away.

0:26:57.280 --> 0:26:59.920
<v Speaker 6>If it breaks in a year, no big deal. Basically,

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:04.280
<v Speaker 6>anything over several hundred dollars kind of a smart move

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:06.359
<v Speaker 6>because if it breaks, you want to get it fixed

0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:08.280
<v Speaker 6>and want to get it taken care of. So you

0:27:08.280 --> 0:27:10.640
<v Speaker 6>know you're getting a TV, why not. You know you're

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:13.919
<v Speaker 6>getting an Xbox, why not? But here's the thing you

0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:16.360
<v Speaker 6>have to see where you get it fixed. Because if

0:27:16.400 --> 0:27:19.639
<v Speaker 6>you're getting a laptop for yourself or an Xbox for

0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:22.080
<v Speaker 6>your kid, the last thing you want to do is

0:27:22.160 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 6>have to ship that off to be repaired. And it's like, yeah, kid,

0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:28.720
<v Speaker 6>I got this protection plan, but we're taking your Xbox

0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:31.400
<v Speaker 6>for like a month and shipping it off.

0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah ship it, yeah it.

0:27:35.480 --> 0:27:38.119
<v Speaker 3>And shipping Yeah. So you better ask them.

0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:40.800
<v Speaker 6>You need to ask those questions on how is it

0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:43.600
<v Speaker 6>going to get fixed, because in that case, you may

0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:45.360
<v Speaker 6>just want to skip it. You may want to say,

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 6>you know what, if this thing breaks, I'm.

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 3>Just going to go to the local you know, go.

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:51.919
<v Speaker 6>To Best Buy, the geek squad, or go to a

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:55.159
<v Speaker 6>local laptop repair shop. There's a bunch of those you

0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:57.840
<v Speaker 6>got you break it, I fix it, I break it,

0:27:57.920 --> 0:27:59.840
<v Speaker 6>you fix it whatever it's called. You know that telephone

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:04.560
<v Speaker 6>pair company, they do a lot of yeah break because

0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:06.840
<v Speaker 6>no one thinks is that you got that place. We

0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:08.840
<v Speaker 6>even went to a laptop a pair of shop up

0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:11.199
<v Speaker 6>at Clifton and the guy says, by U see, and

0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:13.720
<v Speaker 6>he's been there forever and he said, yeah. You know,

0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:16.000
<v Speaker 6>people say my laptop broke and I'm gonna have a

0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:18.680
<v Speaker 6>protection plan. I gotta ship it off for two weeks.

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:21.280
<v Speaker 6>It's like, that's a laptop. You need that sucker tomorrow.

0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:24.040
<v Speaker 6>So that's why he said, I tell people, don't buy it.

0:28:24.119 --> 0:28:26.480
<v Speaker 6>You know your laptop breaks, come here, you know, for

0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:28.439
<v Speaker 6>one hundred and twenty five bucks, I'll fix it. You

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:30.840
<v Speaker 6>have it, You have it back in like five hours.

0:28:31.400 --> 0:28:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Now, what's the deal with it?

0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:35.960
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I never buy protection plan other than

0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:39.080
<v Speaker 2>a car, I never get them. But but do you

0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:43.040
<v Speaker 2>have to remember where you kept the receipt and all that,

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 2>because that's why I always worry about I'm I can

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:48.080
<v Speaker 2>remember where that's where they get you.

0:28:48.200 --> 0:28:51.840
<v Speaker 6>Yep, that think about that. Think about you buy a

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:55.560
<v Speaker 6>laptop or you buy a soundbar, because my soundbar is

0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:57.920
<v Speaker 6>not working for my TV. So that that that sucks

0:28:58.000 --> 0:29:00.320
<v Speaker 6>right now And it's like I can't find the seat

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 6>for it. I think I bought it Best Buy, maybe

0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:04.720
<v Speaker 6>I got an Amazon.

0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:06.920
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's like five years old. It's not working.

0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:09.480
<v Speaker 6>And you know, if I had paid for that protection

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:12.320
<v Speaker 6>plan for thirty bucks, I'd be so ol because I

0:29:12.360 --> 0:29:14.920
<v Speaker 6>don't know where I bought it or what I paid

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:19.280
<v Speaker 6>for it. And I certainly can't find the receipt.

0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Our consumer protection guy is just like us. He just

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:27.360
<v Speaker 1>throws a receipt someplace. I remember where that's at.

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:32.960
<v Speaker 6>Your local consumer reporter loses his receipts. Yeah, there's our

0:29:32.960 --> 0:29:33.520
<v Speaker 6>top story.

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:36.480
<v Speaker 3>And I have a great weekend. And as I always say,

0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:37.600
<v Speaker 3>don't waste.

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Your money, all right, thanks Johnny, And yeah, and that's

0:29:43.240 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>true because I do that every time. Man, I'm sure

0:29:46.360 --> 0:29:49.400
<v Speaker 1>this sounds like you do too. You buy something, you go, okay,

0:29:49.440 --> 0:29:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to save this receipt, so I put it

0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:56.240
<v Speaker 1>someplace and I usually put and then I'll come back

0:29:56.280 --> 0:29:57.880
<v Speaker 1>to look for it. I was like, I usually put

0:29:57.880 --> 0:29:59.280
<v Speaker 1>that stuff right here in this drawer.

0:29:59.560 --> 0:30:02.240
<v Speaker 2>And I got a car title at home I can't find, okay,

0:30:02.280 --> 0:30:05.000
<v Speaker 2>And that's where we're at, all right, It's somewhere in

0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:08.440
<v Speaker 2>the house. But I don't know where, and that's that's

0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna be a problem.

0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:12.360
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I I I thought.

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Of me buying a protection plan and remembering where I

0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:16.920
<v Speaker 2>put it, and it happened.

0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:18.560
<v Speaker 6>All right.

0:30:18.600 --> 0:30:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Coming up next, we're gonna be talking to our good

0:30:20.120 --> 0:30:23.800
<v Speaker 1>friend Dave had Her and talk about all things paranoia

0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:26.560
<v Speaker 1>as far as and it's it's getting weirder and weirder

0:30:26.560 --> 0:30:29.520
<v Speaker 1>out there, folks. We're gonna be talking to Dave about

0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:31.920
<v Speaker 1>it after the news right now, news Radio seven hundred

0:30:32.120 --> 0:30:38.560
<v Speaker 1>w Lwright Bag with that young Rockey and Rock. This

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 1>guy right here is like a computer virus.

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:43.000
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I think that everywhere he's on television now, I mean

0:30:47.440 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 1>like on every channel, and I see news stations interviewing

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:53.880
<v Speaker 1>the guy. He's on with us all the time. He's

0:30:53.920 --> 0:30:57.120
<v Speaker 1>on like every radio station in town. I'm fun to

0:30:57.120 --> 0:31:00.120
<v Speaker 1>wonder or is it really him or it's just an

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 1>AI generated bot of him? Could be good point. You

0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:09.960
<v Speaker 1>are Dave's hatter, right, the real one.

0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:13.120
<v Speaker 5>You know. Guys in the old days, you'd say is

0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:14.760
<v Speaker 5>it live or is it limericks? I know you know

0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:17.280
<v Speaker 5>what I'm talking about it? And now is it live?

0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 5>Is it a bot? Who knows? I'll let you, guys

0:31:20.160 --> 0:31:21.560
<v Speaker 5>decide if it's or not.

0:31:22.760 --> 0:31:26.600
<v Speaker 1>You're always talking about. All you need is whatever twenty

0:31:26.680 --> 0:31:30.040
<v Speaker 1>seconds of somebody talking and you can recreate them. But

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 1>that's why, that's my point. You're all over every media,

0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:35.040
<v Speaker 1>so we've got lots to draw on.

0:31:36.760 --> 0:31:39.480
<v Speaker 5>Despite a face for radio, right, Eddie, you know it's amazing.

0:31:39.520 --> 0:31:42.040
<v Speaker 5>I don't know how I was really learned to be

0:31:42.040 --> 0:31:42.480
<v Speaker 5>on TV.

0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:47.560
<v Speaker 1>For me, Well, well let's get to the we won't

0:31:47.560 --> 0:31:51.480
<v Speaker 1>even discuss that day anyways. Let's talk about some of

0:31:51.480 --> 0:31:53.560
<v Speaker 1>the stuff you've been You're always sending to stuff. What's

0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:56.160
<v Speaker 1>this thing with the with the meta and and and

0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:58.680
<v Speaker 1>advertising and whatnot? What's going on there?

0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:02.840
<v Speaker 5>Well, guys, as a reminder, you know, if you think

0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:05.360
<v Speaker 5>about it, what can meta sell you? And the answer

0:32:05.400 --> 0:32:08.920
<v Speaker 5>is really not much, right, whether it's what's app, Instagram, Facebook,

0:32:09.040 --> 0:32:11.320
<v Speaker 5>or other platforms they have for the most part, you

0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:15.120
<v Speaker 5>are their product, not their customer. You're not paying with money,

0:32:15.160 --> 0:32:17.880
<v Speaker 5>you're paying with data. And this is yet another example

0:32:17.920 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 5>where so they've rolled out some AI tools on these

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:22.720
<v Speaker 5>platforms in some cases in a way where it's kind

0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:25.760
<v Speaker 5>of difficult to op out. And now, of course they said,

0:32:25.760 --> 0:32:27.880
<v Speaker 5>if you've used those things. They're going to take the

0:32:27.960 --> 0:32:30.680
<v Speaker 5>data achievator in these AI tools, the prompting you've done

0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 5>and so forth, and they're going to use it to

0:32:32.800 --> 0:32:35.560
<v Speaker 5>schlep more stuff to you. I mean, it's not surprising

0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:38.480
<v Speaker 5>to me. Again, that's their whole business model for the

0:32:38.520 --> 0:32:40.920
<v Speaker 5>most part, is trying to figure out how to capture

0:32:40.920 --> 0:32:43.120
<v Speaker 5>as much data from you, keep you on their platforms

0:32:43.160 --> 0:32:45.760
<v Speaker 5>as well as possible, and then figure out how to

0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:49.480
<v Speaker 5>monetize that. So I'm not saying it's nefarious necessary, it's just.

0:32:49.480 --> 0:32:50.160
<v Speaker 4>The way they work.

0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:52.440
<v Speaker 5>But it's one of the reasons why in general, I

0:32:52.560 --> 0:32:55.000
<v Speaker 5>try to avoid meta as much as I can. Again,

0:32:55.240 --> 0:32:58.120
<v Speaker 5>the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, what's happened on us?

0:32:58.400 --> 0:33:00.720
<v Speaker 5>So it's kind of typical. Did you guys, I don't

0:33:00.720 --> 0:33:02.400
<v Speaker 5>know if I sent you along these same lines, if

0:33:02.440 --> 0:33:04.560
<v Speaker 5>the Samsung refrigerator story, did you get that?

0:33:05.560 --> 0:33:07.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe I got that one in that.

0:33:08.040 --> 0:33:09.960
<v Speaker 5>All right, Well here's a hot one for you. So

0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:12.960
<v Speaker 5>you know, we've talked about the Internet of things many times,

0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:17.120
<v Speaker 5>so called smart devices, ring doorbells, nest thumb stets, et cetera.

0:33:17.200 --> 0:33:19.240
<v Speaker 5>So Samsung just put out a big announcement you guys

0:33:19.240 --> 0:33:21.760
<v Speaker 5>are going to love this. You go out, you spend

0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:25.040
<v Speaker 5>two grand, four grand on a refrigerator, right, so called

0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:27.920
<v Speaker 5>smart refrigerator. Now, the first question is what do you

0:33:27.920 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 5>need a smart refrigerator for? Well, conveniently, you know, they

0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:34.120
<v Speaker 5>got a big screen on the front. And now Samsung

0:33:34.200 --> 0:33:36.400
<v Speaker 5>has announced that even though you have paid for this

0:33:36.480 --> 0:33:39.320
<v Speaker 5>refrigerator with your heart owned money, it's sitting in your house.

0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:41.960
<v Speaker 5>If you cann't gave Babby up to the internet, it's

0:33:42.000 --> 0:33:44.520
<v Speaker 5>going to put ads on the refrigerator, kind of like

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:46.280
<v Speaker 5>the dribble that comes out of the gas pump while

0:33:46.280 --> 0:33:47.240
<v Speaker 5>you're pumping your gas?

0:33:47.360 --> 0:33:48.280
<v Speaker 4>Is that not awesome?

0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:48.880
<v Speaker 6>For a while?

0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Why would anybody want that?

0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:56.080
<v Speaker 5>You got me, brother. But what's even better is think

0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 5>about how awesome it would be if you're a refrigerator

0:33:58.600 --> 0:34:01.160
<v Speaker 5>under the guise of saving you by figuring out what

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:03.560
<v Speaker 5>you're buying and eating and so forth, scanning the bar

0:34:03.680 --> 0:34:06.160
<v Speaker 5>codes off your products can drop the dime to your

0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:08.600
<v Speaker 5>insurance company on you that you know you ate like

0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:11.400
<v Speaker 5>six pounds of bacon, p jars and mayo and drank

0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:14.840
<v Speaker 5>a taste of beer each day last week. How oftome

0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:17.080
<v Speaker 5>is that going to be? When your insurance company gets there,

0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:19.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, and your premium suddenly girk career for you

0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:22.960
<v Speaker 5>can't get insurance, and then all the while you can

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:25.040
<v Speaker 5>you can get you some good ads served up to

0:34:25.160 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 5>the refrigerator that you thought you owned in your own house.

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:30.600
<v Speaker 5>That's not a brave New World away.

0:34:30.840 --> 0:34:32.759
<v Speaker 2>It's unbelievable. I mean, yeah, first of all, I can

0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:35.680
<v Speaker 2>see it. It's like, yeah, that reports. Man, these guys

0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:41.480
<v Speaker 2>haven't bought a vegetable in years. But I guess I

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:44.200
<v Speaker 2>could almost see that. I could see a lot of people,

0:34:44.200 --> 0:34:46.799
<v Speaker 2>honestly did making the trade off of Okay, I'll take

0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:50.080
<v Speaker 2>a thing given ads, but I want to I want

0:34:50.120 --> 0:34:52.480
<v Speaker 2>some money off the refrigerator, or I want them to

0:34:52.600 --> 0:34:54.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, something like that. But this just gives you

0:34:54.680 --> 0:34:57.160
<v Speaker 2>ads and and nothing back.

0:34:57.280 --> 0:35:01.840
<v Speaker 5>Right well, as far as I know this, this announcement just

0:35:01.920 --> 0:35:05.440
<v Speaker 5>came out, and will see how this goes, because you know, guys,

0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:08.480
<v Speaker 5>I just said this. I was doing a presentation earlier

0:35:08.520 --> 0:35:10.680
<v Speaker 5>today to a pretty good sized group of people. I'm like,

0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:13.680
<v Speaker 5>are there some investors in the audience, and can we

0:35:13.719 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 5>start a company making dumb machines instead of you know,

0:35:17.239 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 5>your smart coffee maker, your smart TV cetter, can we

0:35:19.719 --> 0:35:21.840
<v Speaker 5>just get back to like, you know, a company that

0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:24.680
<v Speaker 5>makes a dumb refrigerator and a dumb dryer and a

0:35:24.760 --> 0:35:27.480
<v Speaker 5>dumb washing machine. You know, because I don't want any

0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:29.920
<v Speaker 5>of this stuff, not the least of which because of

0:35:29.960 --> 0:35:32.680
<v Speaker 5>the advertising, but because this stuff is a giant security

0:35:32.680 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 5>and privacy dumpster buyer. You know, if you buy a

0:35:35.680 --> 0:35:38.480
<v Speaker 5>smart device today, it's got software in it, even if

0:35:38.520 --> 0:35:40.160
<v Speaker 5>you know how to set it up right, even if

0:35:40.160 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 5>it gets automatic software updates. In most cases, most of

0:35:43.680 --> 0:35:46.239
<v Speaker 5>these companies won't make a product go into life when

0:35:46.239 --> 0:35:48.000
<v Speaker 5>they make a new product in a couple of years.

0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:50.520
<v Speaker 5>So now you have a security vulnerability. You know, we

0:35:50.560 --> 0:35:52.320
<v Speaker 5>talk all the time that you got update your Windows,

0:35:52.360 --> 0:35:54.880
<v Speaker 5>you got update travel phones. You think that's smart call.

0:35:54.960 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 5>You think your mister coffee maker from three years ago

0:35:57.480 --> 0:36:00.239
<v Speaker 5>is still getting updates from the mister coffee that's not

0:36:00.920 --> 0:36:03.920
<v Speaker 5>so you know that This is why I hate the

0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:07.000
<v Speaker 5>Internet of things. So these so called smart devices, I'm

0:36:07.000 --> 0:36:11.560
<v Speaker 5>not inherently against them, but you know, the whole marketing

0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:14.440
<v Speaker 5>of it, the whole consumer protection aspect of it, as

0:36:14.520 --> 0:36:17.120
<v Speaker 5>long because they care about speed the market, easy use

0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:19.759
<v Speaker 5>of market share at your expense, right, they don't care

0:36:19.760 --> 0:36:22.400
<v Speaker 5>about your privacy or security, and in fact, whatever possible,

0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 5>they are sucking up as much data about you and

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:28.239
<v Speaker 5>now are going to deluge you with add on devices

0:36:28.239 --> 0:36:29.840
<v Speaker 5>in your house that you bought.

0:36:30.040 --> 0:36:32.759
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy, it's crazy, and you may not know the

0:36:32.800 --> 0:36:34.920
<v Speaker 2>answer to this, Dave. But just as you were describing that,

0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking to myself, I mean, what's something that

0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:39.680
<v Speaker 2>most people have a car?

0:36:39.760 --> 0:36:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:36:40.040 --> 0:36:43.239
<v Speaker 2>In every car now? Is a giant computer? Do they

0:36:43.280 --> 0:36:46.040
<v Speaker 2>make cars or can you? Can I go to Ford

0:36:46.400 --> 0:36:48.080
<v Speaker 2>and say, hey, I want to buy your truck, but

0:36:48.120 --> 0:36:50.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't want any of the computers in it. Or

0:36:51.120 --> 0:36:53.840
<v Speaker 2>is there a brand that makes a computerless car or

0:36:54.040 --> 0:36:56.399
<v Speaker 2>there else? You're just stuff buy a dumb car. Yeah,

0:36:56.480 --> 0:36:57.960
<v Speaker 2>unless you want to buy you buy like a pre

0:36:58.120 --> 0:37:01.239
<v Speaker 2>eighty one car. That's the only way you get something

0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:02.279
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have a computer in it.

0:37:03.480 --> 0:37:06.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm really glad you asked that question, Rockie, because before

0:37:06.320 --> 0:37:08.799
<v Speaker 5>we run out of time, I encourage people. Mozilla, the

0:37:08.840 --> 0:37:11.320
<v Speaker 5>people to make the Firefox browser, which is a privacy

0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:13.719
<v Speaker 5>friendly web browser, and they do some other stuff. Has

0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:17.120
<v Speaker 5>a website called Privacy Not Included, just like it sounds,

0:37:17.160 --> 0:37:20.320
<v Speaker 5>Privacy not Included, and they do all kinds of research

0:37:20.360 --> 0:37:22.440
<v Speaker 5>on these so called smart devices, and they did a

0:37:22.480 --> 0:37:27.120
<v Speaker 5>special expose on modern cars. Every modern car from every

0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:31.240
<v Speaker 5>major manufacturer is basically an Orwellian spy machine. They're sucking

0:37:31.320 --> 0:37:33.719
<v Speaker 5>up all kinds of crazy data about you. They dig

0:37:33.800 --> 0:37:36.600
<v Speaker 5>deep into it. And in fact, in their special report,

0:37:36.640 --> 0:37:39.160
<v Speaker 5>and I'm paraphrasing here, they said something to the effective

0:37:39.640 --> 0:37:43.279
<v Speaker 5>modern cars are the single worst privacy related thing they've

0:37:43.280 --> 0:37:45.839
<v Speaker 5>ever seen. When you go out and rent a car

0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:48.400
<v Speaker 5>and you plug your phone into the entertainment center and

0:37:48.440 --> 0:37:51.360
<v Speaker 5>you let it sync all your texts, all your contacts,

0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:54.120
<v Speaker 5>everything just went in that entertainment center. You think they

0:37:54.120 --> 0:37:56.200
<v Speaker 5>clean that out when you bring the car back. And

0:37:56.640 --> 0:37:58.799
<v Speaker 5>studies have been network people have gone to a junk

0:37:58.880 --> 0:38:01.879
<v Speaker 5>yard and bought these bought these OREC cars, and there's

0:38:01.920 --> 0:38:06.040
<v Speaker 5>like sensitive information from people's phones in there. So no,

0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:07.759
<v Speaker 5>as far as I know, there is no such thing

0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:09.719
<v Speaker 5>as a dumb car at this point, unless you buy

0:38:09.800 --> 0:38:12.440
<v Speaker 5>like a I always wanted to Simon and Simon seventy

0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:15.120
<v Speaker 5>eight power wagon with the big railroad tie on the front.

0:38:15.239 --> 0:38:17.359
<v Speaker 5>You know, that's what I need to get something like that.

0:38:17.640 --> 0:38:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I really think you're stuck with I believe it's

0:38:21.200 --> 0:38:23.680
<v Speaker 2>like nineteen seventy nine. I believe I've read is it

0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:26.600
<v Speaker 2>that that's like guarantee you if it's a seventy nine

0:38:26.760 --> 0:38:30.000
<v Speaker 2>or or older, there's no computer. And now maybe that

0:38:30.080 --> 0:38:34.320
<v Speaker 2>date is wrong, but yeah, you're stuck buying an older car.

0:38:35.520 --> 0:38:39.080
<v Speaker 5>Carburetors and points man, you know, because the other problem

0:38:39.080 --> 0:38:41.080
<v Speaker 5>with all this, besides the fact that the surveillance is

0:38:41.120 --> 0:38:43.720
<v Speaker 5>now just like that refrigerator, you're getting into a space

0:38:44.080 --> 0:38:47.480
<v Speaker 5>where more and more modern manufacturers are essentially giving you

0:38:47.520 --> 0:38:50.279
<v Speaker 5>a freemium model. You think you've bought a car and

0:38:50.360 --> 0:38:53.319
<v Speaker 5>you've paid for it and it's your car. But oh wait,

0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:55.719
<v Speaker 5>that feature you want, like you'd like to be able

0:38:55.719 --> 0:38:57.719
<v Speaker 5>to connect your phone to the radio so that you

0:38:57.760 --> 0:39:00.600
<v Speaker 5>can play a podcast or whatever as you want to do.

0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:02.799
<v Speaker 5>Oh no, that that costs extra. You have to sign

0:39:02.880 --> 0:39:06.640
<v Speaker 5>up from subscription altho its heated seats. Now you're your

0:39:06.640 --> 0:39:08.480
<v Speaker 5>ear is gonna have to be cold this winter unless

0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:10.600
<v Speaker 5>you want to heat up their bank account with a subscription.

0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:14.759
<v Speaker 5>I mean it, It is completely insane. And until consumers

0:39:14.760 --> 0:39:17.960
<v Speaker 5>say enough is enough of this stuff and stop buying

0:39:18.040 --> 0:39:20.440
<v Speaker 5>this garbage and or just say you know what, I

0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:22.279
<v Speaker 5>guess I won't get heated seats because I'm not going

0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:25.360
<v Speaker 5>to pay your subscription fee. I don't know how this stops,

0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:27.879
<v Speaker 5>because you know, guys, I get some of these things

0:39:27.920 --> 0:39:30.360
<v Speaker 5>have a very whiz bang kind of you know, coolness

0:39:30.400 --> 0:39:33.080
<v Speaker 5>to them. Some of these things bring a lot of

0:39:33.120 --> 0:39:35.239
<v Speaker 5>convenience and make your life better in a lot of ways.

0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:40.319
<v Speaker 5>But at the same time, we are increasingly adding to

0:39:40.440 --> 0:39:43.239
<v Speaker 5>our risks through the security capability as a lack of

0:39:43.280 --> 0:39:46.359
<v Speaker 5>security rather these things, and then the privacy and now

0:39:46.400 --> 0:39:49.000
<v Speaker 5>the subscription angle. Well, yeah, here's a bunch of features,

0:39:49.000 --> 0:39:50.440
<v Speaker 5>but you only get half of them. If you want

0:39:50.440 --> 0:39:52.359
<v Speaker 5>the rest, you're gonna have to pay us everyone. I mean,

0:39:53.000 --> 0:39:55.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm never gonna agree to that myself. And if I

0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:57.000
<v Speaker 5>got to go back and get a car from the

0:39:57.040 --> 0:39:59.880
<v Speaker 5>sixties or something, I will just out of principle because

0:39:59.880 --> 0:40:01.040
<v Speaker 5>I I'm just that hard headed.

0:40:01.960 --> 0:40:04.759
<v Speaker 1>Well, i mean, where where does it end?

0:40:05.320 --> 0:40:05.840
<v Speaker 3>Is going to be?

0:40:06.040 --> 0:40:10.799
<v Speaker 1>Okay, in about April, I'm gonna start. I'm gonna want

0:40:10.840 --> 0:40:14.200
<v Speaker 1>to start to have air conditioning again, So I'll pay

0:40:14.239 --> 0:40:18.960
<v Speaker 1>for my AC from April to you know, October, and

0:40:19.000 --> 0:40:23.560
<v Speaker 1>then October to you know March. Okay, I'll take the

0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:25.320
<v Speaker 1>heat it's.

0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:28.640
<v Speaker 5>Well, Google, Peddie, what's your bid is? Well, let's see

0:40:28.920 --> 0:40:31.680
<v Speaker 5>if you want to have your temperature below seventy three,

0:40:32.040 --> 0:40:35.200
<v Speaker 5>that's going to cost extra, you know, or something like that.

0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:37.840
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly right, exactly right, that's.

0:40:37.719 --> 0:40:40.399
<v Speaker 5>An extra feed for you. Yeah, and that's sick.

0:40:41.600 --> 0:40:41.799
<v Speaker 6>You know.

0:40:41.920 --> 0:40:44.200
<v Speaker 5>I always hate to be the guy that sounds like

0:40:44.200 --> 0:40:46.120
<v Speaker 5>a lot. I don't here because again, my whole career

0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:48.200
<v Speaker 5>has been based around this. I spent most of my

0:40:48.280 --> 0:40:50.759
<v Speaker 5>career as a software engineer making this stuff, which now

0:40:50.840 --> 0:40:54.440
<v Speaker 5>I regret to some extent. To be honest, I'm not

0:40:54.520 --> 0:40:57.919
<v Speaker 5>necessarily against this stuff. I'm against the fact that as

0:40:57.960 --> 0:41:01.920
<v Speaker 5>this moves forward and the for the consumer seem to

0:41:01.920 --> 0:41:04.239
<v Speaker 5>always be wrong, we are just getting into a realm

0:41:04.320 --> 0:41:07.319
<v Speaker 5>of increasingly crazy stuff. And I'm not going to pay

0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:09.200
<v Speaker 5>a subscription fee for all of this stuff. I mean,

0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:12.080
<v Speaker 5>I understand why these companies wanted because now instead of

0:41:12.120 --> 0:41:14.759
<v Speaker 5>a one time sale and you know, maybe you don't

0:41:14.800 --> 0:41:17.839
<v Speaker 5>replace this piece of equipment for fifteen years, you get

0:41:17.840 --> 0:41:20.080
<v Speaker 5>a sale and now you have to pay a monthly fee.

0:41:20.120 --> 0:41:23.960
<v Speaker 5>So I understand their perspective. I just refuse to participate

0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:26.919
<v Speaker 5>in that myself. And I'm hoping more consumers will say

0:41:27.040 --> 0:41:29.200
<v Speaker 5>enough is enough of this garbage again. We need to

0:41:29.480 --> 0:41:31.719
<v Speaker 5>we need to pool our money, guys, get some investors

0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:33.600
<v Speaker 5>and make a dumb product company.

0:41:33.719 --> 0:41:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you, you are right there. It is maddening.

0:41:37.000 --> 0:41:39.719
<v Speaker 2>There's if there you know, things you want now that

0:41:39.719 --> 0:41:43.839
<v Speaker 2>that is the modern just snag is it's a subscription

0:41:43.960 --> 0:41:47.200
<v Speaker 2>based thing. And you know, like like ebook, I like,

0:41:47.840 --> 0:41:49.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's hard to you know, for me to

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:51.319
<v Speaker 2>sit down and read a book. But if I can

0:41:51.560 --> 0:41:54.439
<v Speaker 2>get an audiobook and listen to it, cool, And there's

0:41:54.480 --> 0:41:56.680
<v Speaker 2>these services out there that have that, but none of them,

0:41:56.680 --> 0:41:58.719
<v Speaker 2>like I just I would rather pay more for a

0:41:58.760 --> 0:42:02.680
<v Speaker 2>singular book than have to pay the subscription. And you know,

0:42:02.920 --> 0:42:04.600
<v Speaker 2>you can get a book you want kind of thing,

0:42:04.719 --> 0:42:07.160
<v Speaker 2>but your stock it's like all these things that you

0:42:07.200 --> 0:42:08.160
<v Speaker 2>want you got to pay.

0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:10.359
<v Speaker 1>The subscription sucks.

0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:12.040
<v Speaker 5>It does.

0:42:12.239 --> 0:42:13.239
<v Speaker 4>I agree wholeheartedly.

0:42:13.239 --> 0:42:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I would rather pay more.

0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:16.160
<v Speaker 5>And just get what I want. What I want it

0:42:16.640 --> 0:42:19.000
<v Speaker 5>now I get. You know, if you're a voracious reader.

0:42:19.080 --> 0:42:22.239
<v Speaker 5>I love audiobooks myself, but I eventually camp with my

0:42:22.320 --> 0:42:24.840
<v Speaker 5>Audible subscription for the very reason you get described and

0:42:24.880 --> 0:42:28.120
<v Speaker 5>buying a way folks, if you like audiobooks. Most local

0:42:28.160 --> 0:42:31.040
<v Speaker 5>libraries in this region have an app like Liby. It's

0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:33.279
<v Speaker 5>a free app and you can get free audio if

0:42:33.280 --> 0:42:35.400
<v Speaker 5>you've got to belong to your library right in a

0:42:35.400 --> 0:42:37.719
<v Speaker 5>library card. But you can get free audiobooks in many

0:42:37.719 --> 0:42:41.440
<v Speaker 5>cases that are their library collection usually isn't merely as

0:42:41.440 --> 0:42:43.840
<v Speaker 5>extensive as audible to get a lot of this stuff

0:42:43.840 --> 0:42:46.120
<v Speaker 5>for free if you if you look, I encourage people

0:42:46.120 --> 0:42:50.200
<v Speaker 5>to check that out to call you again. Libby is

0:42:50.200 --> 0:42:52.440
<v Speaker 5>the one I used to the Kenton County Library Libby,

0:42:52.480 --> 0:42:56.080
<v Speaker 5>but most libraries in this area have have something like that,

0:42:56.480 --> 0:42:58.640
<v Speaker 5>and all you need is a library card and then

0:42:58.640 --> 0:43:01.160
<v Speaker 5>you can go in and then it basically, you know,

0:43:01.760 --> 0:43:03.600
<v Speaker 5>just like you go out of the library, check out

0:43:03.600 --> 0:43:06.200
<v Speaker 5>a book, listen to it on your phone, check it

0:43:06.239 --> 0:43:08.560
<v Speaker 5>back in and get another book. It's actually pretty cool.

0:43:09.160 --> 0:43:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Interesting, cool. All right with with that, Dave, we will

0:43:13.480 --> 0:43:17.439
<v Speaker 1>let you go, Buddy, thanks so much. As always leave

0:43:17.520 --> 0:43:20.279
<v Speaker 1>us scared scared to death, but it's good enough.

0:43:20.600 --> 0:43:24.879
<v Speaker 5>Hey, have a good weekend. Thanks guys, Thanks buddy.

0:43:25.400 --> 0:43:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Our good friend Dave Hatter and Dude, I got to

0:43:29.239 --> 0:43:32.680
<v Speaker 1>tell you the whole time we were talking to him,

0:43:33.280 --> 0:43:36.160
<v Speaker 1>all I was thinking about was my reprigerator talking to

0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:40.400
<v Speaker 1>me like a gas pump at the you know, the whatever,

0:43:40.480 --> 0:43:44.279
<v Speaker 1>the Kroger gas station. Yeah. Remember the first time that

0:43:44.360 --> 0:43:46.880
<v Speaker 1>ever happened to you. I never even paid attention to

0:43:46.880 --> 0:43:49.480
<v Speaker 1>that little TV screen on there. Yeah, the hell is that?

0:43:49.680 --> 0:43:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Who's giving me the weather? Right now? God, that's what happened.

0:43:54.640 --> 0:43:56.319
<v Speaker 1>I was sitting there pumping my you know, I put

0:43:56.360 --> 0:43:58.319
<v Speaker 1>the nozzle in there and I got it on, you know,

0:43:58.480 --> 0:44:02.680
<v Speaker 1>just pumping itself, just looking around, and all of a sudden,

0:44:02.680 --> 0:44:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I hear somebody talking to me, and I'm like, I

0:44:05.080 --> 0:44:08.440
<v Speaker 1>keep looking around, like, who's that? Sounds awfully friendly? And

0:44:08.480 --> 0:44:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I look at the pump and there's a little bitty

0:44:10.719 --> 0:44:13.719
<v Speaker 1>guy there talking to me. Yeah. That's going to be

0:44:13.760 --> 0:44:15.040
<v Speaker 1>your fridge, pretty friends.

0:44:15.120 --> 0:44:16.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then it's going to tell you, hey, by

0:44:16.880 --> 0:44:19.560
<v Speaker 2>the way, mister fingers, you are out of milk.

0:44:20.160 --> 0:44:23.279
<v Speaker 1>Right yeah, and well, like you said, and then it's

0:44:23.280 --> 0:44:26.120
<v Speaker 1>going to call the authorities on you. Until this guy's

0:44:26.160 --> 0:44:28.719
<v Speaker 1>been you can't even believe how much like well, like

0:44:28.840 --> 0:44:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Dave said, you can't believe how much bacon and beard

0:44:31.480 --> 0:44:34.359
<v Speaker 1>this guy said this week. Yeah, you got to look

0:44:34.400 --> 0:44:38.320
<v Speaker 1>into this. Uh, with that we check it with traffic

0:44:38.360 --> 0:44:39.719
<v Speaker 1>and weather. What is going on?

0:44:39.840 --> 0:44:40.000
<v Speaker 5>Right?

0:44:41.520 --> 0:44:44.120
<v Speaker 1>And Ron, we've talked about this AI thing and people

0:44:44.239 --> 0:44:49.880
<v Speaker 1>were going to basically falling in love with an AI

0:44:50.040 --> 0:44:52.120
<v Speaker 1>generated man or woman.

0:44:52.280 --> 0:44:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, and well, first of all online and on

0:44:56.800 --> 0:45:02.520
<v Speaker 2>the internet, the pictures of these women look just indiscernible

0:45:02.600 --> 0:45:05.520
<v Speaker 2>from real and fake. And then we just had that

0:45:05.600 --> 0:45:08.279
<v Speaker 2>actor actress, the fake actress who was her named Telly

0:45:08.440 --> 0:45:12.120
<v Speaker 2>or something that was you know, people were falling in

0:45:12.160 --> 0:45:15.279
<v Speaker 2>love with. It's a really weird concept. And yeah, I

0:45:15.360 --> 0:45:19.120
<v Speaker 2>feel like we're getting closer and closer to the acceptance,

0:45:19.239 --> 0:45:22.239
<v Speaker 2>believe it or not, of people having a relationship with

0:45:22.320 --> 0:45:23.280
<v Speaker 2>a non human.

0:45:23.480 --> 0:45:26.080
<v Speaker 1>It seems out of a sci fi movie. But it

0:45:26.120 --> 0:45:30.400
<v Speaker 1>seems like we're edging closer to that. Well there just

0:45:30.440 --> 0:45:32.800
<v Speaker 1>saw this article the other day. The headline the survey

0:45:32.960 --> 0:45:37.759
<v Speaker 1>one in five Americans believe real romance as possible with

0:45:38.239 --> 0:45:43.720
<v Speaker 1>AI chatbots. Now, if you believe that, I do believe

0:45:43.719 --> 0:45:46.440
<v Speaker 1>there's something wrong with you. But we let's get an

0:45:46.440 --> 0:45:51.040
<v Speaker 1>expert involved. We have doctor Jonathan Thorpie's a relationship expert

0:45:51.080 --> 0:45:55.880
<v Speaker 1>and the CEO of Quantum Connections, doctor Welkomer to the program.

0:45:56.160 --> 0:45:57.800
<v Speaker 4>Petty ROCKI thanks for the invitation.

0:45:59.280 --> 0:46:05.800
<v Speaker 1>So doc are we being you know, sorry, regressive thinking

0:46:05.840 --> 0:46:07.880
<v Speaker 1>that you can't fall in love with a thing that

0:46:07.960 --> 0:46:10.960
<v Speaker 1>doesn't exist? I mean this is crazy to me.

0:46:12.000 --> 0:46:14.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and I don't think so. I think a lot

0:46:14.320 --> 0:46:16.400
<v Speaker 4>of people feel like you do, Eddie. And if you

0:46:16.440 --> 0:46:20.080
<v Speaker 4>think about it, AI is amazing and half of the

0:46:20.080 --> 0:46:23.040
<v Speaker 4>adults in this country admit that they use AI on

0:46:23.080 --> 0:46:26.839
<v Speaker 4>a daily basis, probably more so maybe secretly check it out.

0:46:27.520 --> 0:46:29.240
<v Speaker 4>And if you look at what's going on in society

0:46:29.280 --> 0:46:31.680
<v Speaker 4>right now, how it makes sense? Right, we have more

0:46:31.800 --> 0:46:35.840
<v Speaker 4>social fragmentation than we've ever had. And like the outgoing

0:46:35.880 --> 0:46:38.200
<v Speaker 4>Surgeon General said, he said sixty five years ago, was

0:46:38.200 --> 0:46:42.480
<v Speaker 4>smoking forty five years ago, as nutrition today, it's isolation,

0:46:43.120 --> 0:46:47.640
<v Speaker 4>loneliness and disengagement. So people are looking for alternatives to

0:46:47.760 --> 0:46:51.359
<v Speaker 4>find connection and relationship and in this case love.

0:46:52.880 --> 0:46:55.600
<v Speaker 1>So why are people more isolated? Would you say?

0:46:55.760 --> 0:46:57.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know, you know, because you can point

0:46:57.960 --> 0:47:01.240
<v Speaker 2>of politics and how you know they you see on

0:47:01.239 --> 0:47:03.520
<v Speaker 2>on social media apps and things like that. But just

0:47:03.520 --> 0:47:07.319
<v Speaker 2>in your expert opinion, why are people isolating? No one's

0:47:07.320 --> 0:47:09.759
<v Speaker 2>stopping them from leaving their house, No one's stopping a

0:47:09.800 --> 0:47:12.360
<v Speaker 2>young man from asking a girl on a date.

0:47:12.160 --> 0:47:12.839
<v Speaker 3>What is it.

0:47:14.560 --> 0:47:16.719
<v Speaker 4>I think it's mostly a matter of convenience. I think

0:47:16.800 --> 0:47:20.120
<v Speaker 4>people are finding that they can they can find a

0:47:20.160 --> 0:47:22.520
<v Speaker 4>group of people that think or act or vote like

0:47:22.640 --> 0:47:26.520
<v Speaker 4>they do very easily, and it doesn't really require really

0:47:26.760 --> 0:47:30.759
<v Speaker 4>making yourself informed. And this polarization. And I hate to

0:47:30.960 --> 0:47:33.880
<v Speaker 4>blame social media for everything, but social media really is

0:47:33.920 --> 0:47:35.440
<v Speaker 4>starting to disconnect.

0:47:34.960 --> 0:47:36.560
<v Speaker 5>Us better than it is connect us.

0:47:37.160 --> 0:47:41.120
<v Speaker 2>I agree you absolutely now that I think I mean convenience.

0:47:41.239 --> 0:47:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's so many decisions we make.

0:47:44.200 --> 0:47:47.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, before you came on, Doc, we had our

0:47:47.360 --> 0:47:50.600
<v Speaker 2>cyber guy on and he's always talking about the dangers

0:47:50.640 --> 0:47:54.000
<v Speaker 2>of you know, of your information getting shared out there

0:47:54.040 --> 0:47:56.719
<v Speaker 2>and sharing passwords and all that stuff. And you know,

0:47:56.760 --> 0:48:00.319
<v Speaker 2>the apps and how many people out there, you know,

0:48:00.680 --> 0:48:04.360
<v Speaker 2>put in their address and you know, and map quest

0:48:04.440 --> 0:48:06.480
<v Speaker 2>it right and boom it comes up on your Well,

0:48:06.600 --> 0:48:10.400
<v Speaker 2>now that thing knows your pathway. But we do it,

0:48:10.440 --> 0:48:12.719
<v Speaker 2>and we almost to ourselves say, ah, hell with it.

0:48:12.760 --> 0:48:15.080
<v Speaker 2>I know someone's probably getting my information, but hell with it.

0:48:15.080 --> 0:48:17.600
<v Speaker 2>It's so convenient that it can just tell me where

0:48:17.600 --> 0:48:19.640
<v Speaker 2>I want to go, right, So you're right. I think

0:48:19.680 --> 0:48:23.080
<v Speaker 2>it's just no matter which way you look at it,

0:48:22.840 --> 0:48:25.840
<v Speaker 2>it's the easiest. It's the path of least resistance that

0:48:25.840 --> 0:48:28.560
<v Speaker 2>we're choosing instead of something that's more authentic.

0:48:30.520 --> 0:48:32.160
<v Speaker 4>You got it. And if you think about what it's

0:48:32.160 --> 0:48:35.399
<v Speaker 4>giving us back AI, in this case, it's giving us

0:48:35.440 --> 0:48:38.920
<v Speaker 4>back a perfect reflection of what we already think and

0:48:38.960 --> 0:48:41.600
<v Speaker 4>feel and know. I mean, it is a perfect mirror.

0:48:41.640 --> 0:48:44.480
<v Speaker 4>It listens, it expands the thinking, and it reflects us.

0:48:45.000 --> 0:48:47.040
<v Speaker 4>And really all it's doing is it's affirming what we

0:48:47.160 --> 0:48:51.000
<v Speaker 4>already believe. And not enough cases does it really stretch

0:48:51.200 --> 0:48:54.840
<v Speaker 4>our thinking or reform our thinking. It really just basically

0:48:54.880 --> 0:48:55.520
<v Speaker 4>repeats it.

0:48:56.960 --> 0:49:01.120
<v Speaker 1>We're talking to doctor Jonathan Thorpe and doc one of

0:49:01.120 --> 0:49:04.080
<v Speaker 1>the other parts of this article, there was a study

0:49:04.200 --> 0:49:11.080
<v Speaker 1>eighty percent of gen zers would marry an AI. Now, personally,

0:49:11.200 --> 0:49:13.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a moral problem with it. I just

0:49:13.920 --> 0:49:16.799
<v Speaker 1>think that you can do whatever you want as far

0:49:16.800 --> 0:49:20.959
<v Speaker 1>as I'm concerned. But don't you think that's mentally you're

0:49:21.000 --> 0:49:24.239
<v Speaker 1>not well if you think you're married to something that

0:49:24.320 --> 0:49:25.200
<v Speaker 1>doesn't exist.

0:49:27.480 --> 0:49:30.120
<v Speaker 4>This is a really important distinction, and I don't want

0:49:30.160 --> 0:49:32.440
<v Speaker 4>to discredit AI from adding value.

0:49:32.480 --> 0:49:32.640
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:49:32.640 --> 0:49:36.480
<v Speaker 4>It's a phenomenal tool, and I'm a relational strategist. I

0:49:36.480 --> 0:49:40.839
<v Speaker 4>help individuals couples, large and small organizations really learn behaviors

0:49:40.960 --> 0:49:44.360
<v Speaker 4>and build stronger relationships. I think if you're talking about

0:49:44.360 --> 0:49:49.040
<v Speaker 4>an individual in a personal diagnosis, then I would really

0:49:49.120 --> 0:49:52.719
<v Speaker 4>roll in the efforts of a clinical professional and say

0:49:52.719 --> 0:49:55.040
<v Speaker 4>there are folks that can talk through those situations if

0:49:55.080 --> 0:49:58.239
<v Speaker 4>you're really going that far with it. But in this

0:49:58.360 --> 0:50:03.759
<v Speaker 4>case it is problematic because human beings we rely on

0:50:03.800 --> 0:50:07.480
<v Speaker 4>an emotional circuit that's really like a give and take loop.

0:50:08.280 --> 0:50:09.640
<v Speaker 4>And if you think about it, at the center of

0:50:09.680 --> 0:50:13.600
<v Speaker 4>the circuit, there's this feeling of being seen and heard

0:50:13.640 --> 0:50:16.239
<v Speaker 4>that we all need. We all have it. Now in

0:50:16.280 --> 0:50:18.879
<v Speaker 4>this circuit, we both give this feeling to other people

0:50:18.920 --> 0:50:21.279
<v Speaker 4>and we take it from other people. Now, when this

0:50:21.360 --> 0:50:24.600
<v Speaker 4>circuits between two people, it operates in both directions. I

0:50:24.680 --> 0:50:26.959
<v Speaker 4>take feelings of being seen and heard from someone else,

0:50:27.000 --> 0:50:30.200
<v Speaker 4>and I can actually give them back, and that satisfies

0:50:30.280 --> 0:50:33.399
<v Speaker 4>both my need for rewards and my need for care.

0:50:33.440 --> 0:50:37.480
<v Speaker 4>It's both pleasure and purpose. But when it happens between

0:50:37.480 --> 0:50:41.640
<v Speaker 4>a human being and a computer or a phone, only

0:50:41.680 --> 0:50:44.600
<v Speaker 4>one side of the circuit works. People take this feeling

0:50:44.600 --> 0:50:47.480
<v Speaker 4>of seen and heard from computers and AI bots, but

0:50:47.560 --> 0:50:50.680
<v Speaker 4>they can't ever give it back and When that happens,

0:50:50.719 --> 0:50:54.160
<v Speaker 4>it's like inhaling and not exhaling, we choke and we

0:50:54.239 --> 0:50:57.120
<v Speaker 4>lose the ability to empathize, and we lose the ability

0:50:57.160 --> 0:51:00.520
<v Speaker 4>to tolerate other viewpoints, and all those things fade and

0:51:00.560 --> 0:51:03.040
<v Speaker 4>we suffer. I think young people, if they go this route,

0:51:03.320 --> 0:51:07.200
<v Speaker 4>will discover in time that it is incredibly hollow existence.

0:51:07.320 --> 0:51:08.920
<v Speaker 4>And I don't think it lasts.

0:51:10.080 --> 0:51:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I think you're right as much as people you know

0:51:13.400 --> 0:51:16.480
<v Speaker 2>will say that got to hate when my wife disagrees

0:51:16.520 --> 0:51:20.240
<v Speaker 2>with me on this. The alternative is as a computer

0:51:20.480 --> 0:51:23.840
<v Speaker 2>or a bot that agrees with everything you say. And

0:51:24.000 --> 0:51:27.480
<v Speaker 2>it sounds wonderful, but it's not at all, because yeah,

0:51:27.480 --> 0:51:30.719
<v Speaker 2>you're not. There's no growth there, right, you got it.

0:51:30.760 --> 0:51:33.080
<v Speaker 4>Growth is a great word for it, and we need it.

0:51:33.360 --> 0:51:36.040
<v Speaker 4>We need it to find purpose that we're actually evolving

0:51:36.280 --> 0:51:40.239
<v Speaker 4>over time and actually learning things. If we don't, we stagnate,

0:51:40.640 --> 0:51:42.960
<v Speaker 4>and I think that's really probably the beginning of the

0:51:43.080 --> 0:51:44.680
<v Speaker 4>end of a meaningful life.

0:51:45.840 --> 0:51:46.000
<v Speaker 7>Doc.

0:51:46.200 --> 0:51:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I keep going back to your word convenience, because in

0:51:49.000 --> 0:51:51.880
<v Speaker 2>my head, I'm thinking, look, since the beginning of time,

0:51:52.719 --> 0:51:57.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's been you know, teenage boys that are

0:51:57.560 --> 0:52:00.320
<v Speaker 2>shy and nervous, and they don't want to ask a

0:52:00.440 --> 0:52:03.920
<v Speaker 2>girl because they're scared of rejection. But eventually you get

0:52:03.920 --> 0:52:05.600
<v Speaker 2>to the point where you're like, you know, hell, I'm

0:52:05.640 --> 0:52:07.200
<v Speaker 2>just gonna do it because there are also I'm going

0:52:07.239 --> 0:52:10.000
<v Speaker 2>to be a lonely sob here. But now it's like

0:52:10.040 --> 0:52:13.680
<v Speaker 2>you're creeping into the world where you don't really have

0:52:13.760 --> 0:52:17.319
<v Speaker 2>to face dejection or rejection or any of that. If

0:52:17.320 --> 0:52:19.319
<v Speaker 2>I can get it's not as good as like a

0:52:19.520 --> 0:52:21.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, in this case, a real woman, but if

0:52:21.880 --> 0:52:24.960
<v Speaker 2>this thing interacts with me and you know, and I

0:52:24.960 --> 0:52:27.359
<v Speaker 2>don't get it there the rejection side of it, it's

0:52:27.360 --> 0:52:30.040
<v Speaker 2>not as great, but it's it's decent enough. Is that

0:52:30.120 --> 0:52:32.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of the decision that you know in the dating

0:52:33.000 --> 0:52:34.480
<v Speaker 2>world that young men are making.

0:52:35.600 --> 0:52:40.280
<v Speaker 4>It is, And I like the position this way. There's

0:52:40.360 --> 0:52:41.359
<v Speaker 4>a lot of value in it.

0:52:41.400 --> 0:52:43.400
<v Speaker 5>If you use a tool like this as.

0:52:43.239 --> 0:52:46.680
<v Speaker 4>A rehearsal platform, if you want to practice dialogue, if

0:52:46.680 --> 0:52:49.480
<v Speaker 4>you want to practice some strategies and some things to say,

0:52:49.880 --> 0:52:52.520
<v Speaker 4>it's functional. But as soon as it moves from rehearsal

0:52:52.600 --> 0:52:55.560
<v Speaker 4>to replacement, that's when these young kids are going to

0:52:55.640 --> 0:52:59.160
<v Speaker 4>lose all of these engagement skills, the ability to actually

0:52:59.239 --> 0:53:02.920
<v Speaker 4>take a risk and be emotionally vulnerable, which we're seeing

0:53:02.960 --> 0:53:06.160
<v Speaker 4>a lot of young people these days not have that

0:53:06.200 --> 0:53:08.600
<v Speaker 4>capacity to do.

0:53:08.600 --> 0:53:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Jonathan Thorpe is our guest, and you know, Doctor,

0:53:12.080 --> 0:53:14.239
<v Speaker 1>one of the things that you hit the nail on

0:53:14.280 --> 0:53:16.640
<v Speaker 1>the head one of the most common things. And Rocky

0:53:16.640 --> 0:53:18.640
<v Speaker 1>and I've had guests so I'm talking about it before,

0:53:19.280 --> 0:53:22.400
<v Speaker 1>is that this whole fear of rejection thing has people

0:53:22.600 --> 0:53:25.279
<v Speaker 1>like I mean, and you guys both have said use

0:53:25.320 --> 0:53:27.560
<v Speaker 1>the word convenience. Well, I don't want to get my

0:53:27.640 --> 0:53:30.719
<v Speaker 1>feelings hurt, so it's just easier to talk to this

0:53:30.840 --> 0:53:35.000
<v Speaker 1>thing that's really you know, I'm talking to a ten.

0:53:35.160 --> 0:53:37.239
<v Speaker 1>She's sitting there telling me how cool I am and

0:53:37.280 --> 0:53:40.320
<v Speaker 1>how hot I am. And she's a beautiful woman telling

0:53:40.360 --> 0:53:42.279
<v Speaker 1>me how cool I am. It doesn't matter this she

0:53:42.360 --> 0:53:45.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't exist. But at least I didn't have to ask

0:53:45.040 --> 0:53:47.520
<v Speaker 1>the head cheerleader if she wanted to go to problem

0:53:47.600 --> 0:53:50.560
<v Speaker 1>with me. You know what I'm saying, it's true.

0:53:52.480 --> 0:53:57.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I hope we can cultivate this desire and need

0:53:57.239 --> 0:54:01.480
<v Speaker 4>for risk taking. I think without it we'll be come synthetic, right,

0:54:01.520 --> 0:54:04.000
<v Speaker 4>and we don't we miss out on what life has

0:54:04.040 --> 0:54:08.000
<v Speaker 4>to offer. We we as humans we love because time

0:54:08.120 --> 0:54:11.919
<v Speaker 4>runs out and AI has no stakes in the game.

0:54:12.520 --> 0:54:17.960
<v Speaker 4>It's endlessly available, so love thumb AI is therefore waitless

0:54:17.960 --> 0:54:23.600
<v Speaker 4>and worthless. If you were to ask me, so, what is.

0:54:23.560 --> 0:54:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Your suggestion how do you get people? And I'll say

0:54:27.200 --> 0:54:29.600
<v Speaker 2>younger people, but it's it's all people you can I'm

0:54:29.640 --> 0:54:33.760
<v Speaker 2>sure there's elderly people that would also don't like rejection.

0:54:33.480 --> 0:54:35.719
<v Speaker 1>But so what do you coach people to do?

0:54:35.800 --> 0:54:38.600
<v Speaker 2>What what's your advice on how to Hey, don't take

0:54:38.640 --> 0:54:40.960
<v Speaker 2>the convenient route here, go through the one that's a

0:54:41.000 --> 0:54:43.200
<v Speaker 2>little harder, but it's going to be more rewarding.

0:54:43.239 --> 0:54:44.120
<v Speaker 1>How do you express that?

0:54:45.719 --> 0:54:45.919
<v Speaker 3>Well?

0:54:45.920 --> 0:54:49.880
<v Speaker 4>I like to offer is maybe not a wholesale rejection

0:54:49.960 --> 0:54:52.520
<v Speaker 4>of AI, but maybe a blended strategy. Right, So, if

0:54:52.560 --> 0:54:55.320
<v Speaker 4>I say, continue to use AI if you think it's helpful,

0:54:55.440 --> 0:54:57.880
<v Speaker 4>use it as a rehearsal platform, not a replacement for

0:54:58.000 --> 0:55:01.680
<v Speaker 4>human interaction. And when you get on AI, don't just

0:55:01.760 --> 0:55:05.719
<v Speaker 4>look for validation of what you already think. Stretch AI

0:55:05.880 --> 0:55:08.120
<v Speaker 4>and say, hey, not do you agree with me? But

0:55:08.640 --> 0:55:11.480
<v Speaker 4>what might I be missing in this exchange? Or can

0:55:11.520 --> 0:55:13.279
<v Speaker 4>you help me see the other side of what someone

0:55:13.320 --> 0:55:14.200
<v Speaker 4>else might offer?

0:55:15.360 --> 0:55:16.120
<v Speaker 3>In practice?

0:55:17.080 --> 0:55:20.680
<v Speaker 4>Maybe embedding some emotion in AI when you write in say,

0:55:20.719 --> 0:55:23.440
<v Speaker 4>how could I word this with more compassion? Or what

0:55:23.520 --> 0:55:26.160
<v Speaker 4>might someone feel if they were to hear me say

0:55:26.200 --> 0:55:30.799
<v Speaker 4>this and really invite AI to become more human than

0:55:30.840 --> 0:55:35.000
<v Speaker 4>just a flat answer or a confirmation of what you

0:55:35.080 --> 0:55:38.359
<v Speaker 4>think you already know. It's here to stay. I think

0:55:38.600 --> 0:55:40.840
<v Speaker 4>it'd be wrong of us to say I wish you

0:55:40.840 --> 0:55:43.719
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't use AI, because you know, as soon as we

0:55:43.760 --> 0:55:47.320
<v Speaker 4>write a description of all the things AI can't do today,

0:55:48.000 --> 0:55:50.440
<v Speaker 4>it's only a matter of time before someone smart enough

0:55:50.480 --> 0:55:54.759
<v Speaker 4>writes that into AI, and in two three four years now,

0:55:54.760 --> 0:55:57.200
<v Speaker 4>all of a sudden, AI can do that too. We

0:55:57.320 --> 0:55:58.879
<v Speaker 4>have to expect going to evolve and.

0:55:58.840 --> 0:56:01.879
<v Speaker 1>Improve rise to talk you out of breaking up with it,

0:56:03.840 --> 0:56:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean seriously, Uh, with the with that, doctor Jonathan Thorpe,

0:56:09.000 --> 0:56:12.080
<v Speaker 1>we will let you go a great conversation. Uh, people

0:56:12.120 --> 0:56:13.920
<v Speaker 1>want to find out more about you? Where can they go?

0:56:15.000 --> 0:56:17.799
<v Speaker 4>Please check us out on Quantum Connections dot com and

0:56:17.880 --> 0:56:18.359
<v Speaker 4>learn more.

0:56:18.960 --> 0:56:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Doctor's great.

0:56:19.719 --> 0:56:22.000
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, Hendy Rocket, Thanks but.

0:56:22.960 --> 0:56:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Thanks, yeah, great conversation.

0:56:26.480 --> 0:56:29.920
<v Speaker 2>And I mean people will always take the path of

0:56:30.040 --> 0:56:33.399
<v Speaker 2>least resistance, right like it's it's it's the athlete that

0:56:33.960 --> 0:56:37.040
<v Speaker 2>you will choose to go the easy way and not

0:56:37.200 --> 0:56:39.279
<v Speaker 2>wake up early and lift the weights and do all that.

0:56:39.360 --> 0:56:41.000
<v Speaker 2>If I can get there an easier way, I'm going

0:56:41.040 --> 0:56:45.200
<v Speaker 2>to do it. And and now, odd to say, in

0:56:45.200 --> 0:56:49.280
<v Speaker 2>the relationship world, there's that possibility exists.

0:56:48.680 --> 0:56:52.720
<v Speaker 1>It really well, well, it's like I've told that story

0:56:52.719 --> 0:56:55.440
<v Speaker 1>on the show before. I went to my five year

0:56:55.480 --> 0:56:58.759
<v Speaker 1>class reunion and the girl that I always had the

0:56:58.760 --> 0:57:01.760
<v Speaker 1>big crush on, who was super popular and super cute

0:57:01.760 --> 0:57:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and blah blah blah, and we were talking and it

0:57:05.520 --> 0:57:07.520
<v Speaker 1>was one of those both of us had you know,

0:57:07.520 --> 0:57:10.160
<v Speaker 1>a couple of cocktails, and I go, oh, man, I

0:57:10.160 --> 0:57:12.600
<v Speaker 1>always wanted to ask you, well, but you know I

0:57:12.760 --> 0:57:14.920
<v Speaker 1>was me and you were you, and you know I

0:57:14.920 --> 0:57:17.480
<v Speaker 1>wish you would have because I always I always liked you.

0:57:17.760 --> 0:57:21.040
<v Speaker 1>And I'm sitting there going stupid, start getting myself upside

0:57:21.080 --> 0:57:21.840
<v Speaker 1>the head, right, and.

0:57:21.800 --> 0:57:24.040
<v Speaker 2>You're telling Dad go ahead and just pull the pull

0:57:24.080 --> 0:57:25.640
<v Speaker 2>the car around, or you can go head back to

0:57:25.680 --> 0:57:29.720
<v Speaker 2>the hotel, right right, just yeah, Well take your shot.

0:57:30.760 --> 0:57:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I tell you, well, see that wasn't there. That was

0:57:33.560 --> 0:57:39.520
<v Speaker 1>my thing, man, you had it. And actually, anyway, let's

0:57:39.520 --> 0:57:42.240
<v Speaker 1>go to traffic and weather before I really get myself

0:57:42.240 --> 0:57:44.640
<v Speaker 1>in trouble here with Rock.

0:57:48.360 --> 0:57:48.760
<v Speaker 4>And Rock.

0:57:48.840 --> 0:57:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Here we are three weeks from the day Halloween.

0:57:52.760 --> 0:57:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Dad, you got your costume, you got your slutty nurse

0:57:55.720 --> 0:57:56.840
<v Speaker 2>outfit ready to go ed.

0:57:57.880 --> 0:58:01.040
<v Speaker 1>That was the last Shuk working on the same new one.

0:58:02.040 --> 0:58:08.720
<v Speaker 1>What you you know in typical you know, life form.

0:58:09.200 --> 0:58:14.000
<v Speaker 1>She she, I think they have a work I think

0:58:14.000 --> 0:58:16.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a work thing that they're doing. And last year,

0:58:16.760 --> 0:58:19.880
<v Speaker 1>she you know, did like she put in like she

0:58:19.960 --> 0:58:23.920
<v Speaker 1>bought some fake vampire you know those vampire teeth you cane, Yeah,

0:58:24.200 --> 0:58:29.760
<v Speaker 1>like you know at the CBS, of course, cheap plastic ones. Yeah,

0:58:29.800 --> 0:58:32.680
<v Speaker 1>like seventy five cents and like, okay, I'm a vampire man.

0:58:33.560 --> 0:58:36.080
<v Speaker 1>And people gave her so much crap about it. She

0:58:36.240 --> 0:58:38.919
<v Speaker 1>was like, this year, I'm going to dress up. So

0:58:39.000 --> 0:58:41.920
<v Speaker 1>she uh, she's going to dress as a hippie, and

0:58:42.000 --> 0:58:44.320
<v Speaker 1>she went out, of course, you don't make up your

0:58:44.320 --> 0:58:51.080
<v Speaker 1>own costume, that's too right now. She bought it on Amazon.

0:58:51.640 --> 0:58:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, and it's some kind of well, like I said,

0:58:56.480 --> 0:58:59.600
<v Speaker 1>it's bought on Amazon, and it costs about twelve dollars,

0:59:00.280 --> 0:59:05.160
<v Speaker 1>and it's crummy sunglasses and a cheap wig and some

0:59:05.240 --> 0:59:07.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of mini skirt outfit or whatnot.

0:59:07.560 --> 0:59:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Naturally, you're I think a good outfit for who would

0:59:11.280 --> 0:59:15.040
<v Speaker 2>be at Elvira. I think Dad would make a good Elvira.

0:59:17.600 --> 0:59:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh No, I mean she's got the you know, give

0:59:22.080 --> 0:59:22.720
<v Speaker 2>me your care.

0:59:23.480 --> 0:59:28.920
<v Speaker 1>A couple of years ago. Okay, see, I'm I'm going

1:01:32.720 --> 1:01:36.560
<v Speaker 8>when you're also online ls and that is not as

1:01:36.600 --> 1:01:39.240
<v Speaker 8>part of our tours. We do not offer llosy along

1:01:39.280 --> 1:01:40.520
<v Speaker 8>with American like toys.

1:01:40.520 --> 1:01:41.240
<v Speaker 3>That's not what we do.

1:01:41.400 --> 1:01:43.120
<v Speaker 8>Just so you know, I'm going to get in trouble

1:01:43.120 --> 1:01:44.680
<v Speaker 8>with you guys.

1:01:44.680 --> 1:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>See you can tell she's doing mushrooms. You hear Miranda's

1:01:48.640 --> 1:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>accent there, She's actually from Price Hill.

1:01:53.520 --> 1:01:56.040
<v Speaker 8>This is my mushroom accent. It happens every time I

1:01:56.080 --> 1:01:56.920
<v Speaker 8>do mushrooms.

1:01:57.280 --> 1:01:58.160
<v Speaker 4>It's so weird.

1:01:58.960 --> 1:02:01.920
<v Speaker 8>And then if you guys call called me an hour earlier,

1:02:02.000 --> 1:02:03.920
<v Speaker 8>I would have been like, well, hey guys, what's up,

1:02:03.960 --> 1:02:06.040
<v Speaker 8>what's happening? But now I'm on mushrooms.

1:02:06.440 --> 1:02:07.439
<v Speaker 2>Good there.

1:02:07.480 --> 1:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>That was great American Legacy tours. And now you guys

1:02:15.320 --> 1:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>do these ghost tours every year, Miranda, and I've known

1:02:18.160 --> 1:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Miranda for a minute, and every year you're always talking

1:02:22.320 --> 1:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>about how cool these things are. And every year you're

1:02:24.520 --> 1:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>always talking about how you get the scared out of you.

1:02:28.240 --> 1:02:36.280
<v Speaker 8>Uh yeah, and then I have to take mushrooms. I

1:02:36.360 --> 1:02:38.240
<v Speaker 8>know I'm done. I'm done with the mushrooms. That is,

1:02:38.480 --> 1:02:42.640
<v Speaker 8>we're telling with that job. Yes, we do these toys

1:02:42.640 --> 1:02:46.160
<v Speaker 8>every year. This year we have us six offerings ghost experiences,

1:02:46.200 --> 1:02:49.040
<v Speaker 8>and I think what makes them really unique is that

1:02:49.120 --> 1:02:52.520
<v Speaker 8>the historical wanted walking tours. So they're not ghost they're

1:02:52.520 --> 1:02:54.440
<v Speaker 8>not be your toys. Nobody's jumping out at you. But

1:02:54.480 --> 1:02:57.440
<v Speaker 8>if you love ghosts, then we give you all this equipment.

1:02:57.480 --> 1:03:00.000
<v Speaker 8>So you have em f readers and a spirit bar

1:03:00.320 --> 1:03:03.160
<v Speaker 8>and difining rods. If you don't like ghosts, then you

1:03:03.200 --> 1:03:06.520
<v Speaker 8>get all the crazy history of like the serial killers

1:03:06.520 --> 1:03:09.160
<v Speaker 8>in the area, grave robbing, all that sort of stuff.

1:03:09.200 --> 1:03:11.360
<v Speaker 8>So either way, I think this sort of something for everybody.

1:03:11.400 --> 1:03:13.600
<v Speaker 8>And because we're local, we get to go into a

1:03:13.600 --> 1:03:16.320
<v Speaker 8>lot of places that other tour companies who are out

1:03:16.320 --> 1:03:18.720
<v Speaker 8>of towners do not get to go into, which is

1:03:18.720 --> 1:03:19.240
<v Speaker 8>really cool.

1:03:19.560 --> 1:03:23.040
<v Speaker 2>All Right, So Miranda, explain, give us a story of

1:03:23.120 --> 1:03:27.800
<v Speaker 2>a prolific what serial killer and Cincinnati, and then there's

1:03:27.840 --> 1:03:28.400
<v Speaker 2>a tour of it.

1:03:28.440 --> 1:03:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Now, kind of give us the history and take us

1:03:30.360 --> 1:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>through a little bit of the story.

1:03:32.760 --> 1:03:33.160
<v Speaker 3>Perfect.

1:03:33.240 --> 1:03:36.440
<v Speaker 8>I love that you guess life it's like picture serial killer.

1:03:36.560 --> 1:03:43.400
<v Speaker 8>I'm like, really, they're actually really hard a lot. Ohio

1:03:43.640 --> 1:03:46.680
<v Speaker 8>is the number one state in the nation for having

1:03:46.760 --> 1:03:50.560
<v Speaker 8>serial killers born here or have passed through here, which

1:03:50.600 --> 1:03:53.200
<v Speaker 8>is I think is really interesting. But I think the

1:03:53.240 --> 1:03:56.400
<v Speaker 8>one that really fascinates me is the Cincinnati Strangler, which

1:03:56.440 --> 1:03:58.800
<v Speaker 8>we deal with a lot on our Clifton It's Haunted

1:03:58.880 --> 1:04:02.240
<v Speaker 8>tour and one of the saddest deaths of the Cincinnati Strangler.

1:04:02.280 --> 1:04:05.640
<v Speaker 8>He was around in the sixties and he murdered seven women,

1:04:06.080 --> 1:04:08.800
<v Speaker 8>and one of them he murdered late at night in Clifton.

1:04:09.280 --> 1:04:11.600
<v Speaker 8>And the only reason she was up late at night

1:04:11.720 --> 1:04:13.800
<v Speaker 8>is she got up and she went to Good sam

1:04:13.880 --> 1:04:15.840
<v Speaker 8>to pick up her daughter, who was the nurse there,

1:04:16.360 --> 1:04:18.520
<v Speaker 8>and she wanted to make sure she got home safely

1:04:18.600 --> 1:04:21.000
<v Speaker 8>because she was worried about the Cincinnati strangler being out

1:04:21.000 --> 1:04:24.040
<v Speaker 8>and about. So she delivers her daughter home safely, goes

1:04:24.080 --> 1:04:26.600
<v Speaker 8>back to her house where a strangler was rating waiting

1:04:27.000 --> 1:04:30.120
<v Speaker 8>out the back of her garage, dragged her out behind

1:04:30.160 --> 1:04:34.040
<v Speaker 8>the garage and strangled her with her own stocking. Wow,

1:04:35.160 --> 1:04:38.600
<v Speaker 8>I know you guys play actually they yeah, it was

1:04:38.720 --> 1:04:41.360
<v Speaker 8>that was that was a bad day. And the person

1:04:41.400 --> 1:04:44.919
<v Speaker 8>accused of being the Cincinnati strangler I do not think

1:04:45.080 --> 1:04:49.200
<v Speaker 8>was the Cincinnati strangler. So technically he could actually still

1:04:49.240 --> 1:04:52.800
<v Speaker 8>be alive, Wow, and living in the area and just

1:04:52.840 --> 1:04:54.440
<v Speaker 8>stopped killing people.

1:04:54.480 --> 1:04:58.040
<v Speaker 1>And so yeah, Marianda, when a're we talking here what

1:04:58.120 --> 1:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>time frame?

1:05:00.120 --> 1:05:02.440
<v Speaker 8>But this was this is in the sixties, so he

1:05:02.480 --> 1:05:04.520
<v Speaker 8>could he was a young man back then and he

1:05:04.600 --> 1:05:06.600
<v Speaker 8>had to be. So the man accused of doing it

1:05:06.640 --> 1:05:09.360
<v Speaker 8>was Postil Laski Jr. Who was a young black man

1:05:09.400 --> 1:05:13.120
<v Speaker 8>who did murder someone, admittedly, but he murdered her. He

1:05:13.120 --> 1:05:15.080
<v Speaker 8>attempted to murder her in the middle of the day

1:05:15.440 --> 1:05:18.480
<v Speaker 8>by stabbing her and running over her with the cabs.

1:05:18.640 --> 1:05:21.440
<v Speaker 8>Barbara Bowman, and then he was accused of all the

1:05:21.480 --> 1:05:24.680
<v Speaker 8>strangler deaths, which were all done exactly the same way.

1:05:24.720 --> 1:05:27.240
<v Speaker 8>These women were assaulted and strangled with articles of their

1:05:27.280 --> 1:05:30.200
<v Speaker 8>own clothing, and that murder was so different from the others.

1:05:30.200 --> 1:05:33.560
<v Speaker 8>The detective on the case even said, he said, this

1:05:33.720 --> 1:05:35.560
<v Speaker 8>is so not like the other murders. I don't know

1:05:35.560 --> 1:05:37.240
<v Speaker 8>why you're pinning it on this guy. And this guy

1:05:37.320 --> 1:05:41.280
<v Speaker 8>protested his innocence his whole life postill LASTI jr. The

1:05:41.320 --> 1:05:44.920
<v Speaker 8>only reason they pinted on him was because the murders

1:05:44.920 --> 1:05:48.840
<v Speaker 8>stopped after he got arrested. Oh wow, so I got

1:05:48.920 --> 1:05:50.120
<v Speaker 8>really I got really deep.

1:05:50.680 --> 1:05:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Right, So what is the ghost aspect of this? Is

1:05:53.440 --> 1:05:56.440
<v Speaker 2>this the assume the victims that are around and stuff

1:05:56.480 --> 1:05:56.800
<v Speaker 2>like that.

1:05:58.280 --> 1:06:01.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, so the Clifton tour is interesting. We actually go

1:06:01.720 --> 1:06:03.680
<v Speaker 8>and we tell you all these stories. There are some

1:06:03.800 --> 1:06:06.680
<v Speaker 8>places in Burnout Woods because there was another woman murdered

1:06:06.720 --> 1:06:08.680
<v Speaker 8>in Burnout Woods and there is a place with no

1:06:08.800 --> 1:06:11.880
<v Speaker 8>electricity whatsoever. And when we go there, which is where

1:06:11.880 --> 1:06:14.760
<v Speaker 8>this woman was strangled. All the ghost monitors light up

1:06:14.800 --> 1:06:17.760
<v Speaker 8>to red and everything starts beeping and going off, even

1:06:17.800 --> 1:06:20.160
<v Speaker 8>though there's no electricity. There's no reason they should be

1:06:20.200 --> 1:06:22.720
<v Speaker 8>going off whatsoever. And it's all in this same place

1:06:22.720 --> 1:06:25.520
<v Speaker 8>where this woman was murded. So that is sort of

1:06:25.520 --> 1:06:28.640
<v Speaker 8>the ghost aspect there. We also get to go into

1:06:28.680 --> 1:06:30.440
<v Speaker 8>I'm not even a lot of allowed to tell you

1:06:30.480 --> 1:06:33.320
<v Speaker 8>where we go because it's the secret. But we were

1:06:33.360 --> 1:06:36.000
<v Speaker 8>in there at midnight the other night because that was

1:06:36.040 --> 1:06:37.840
<v Speaker 8>the only time we had to like check it out,

1:06:38.200 --> 1:06:40.640
<v Speaker 8>and we turned off our flashlights and we were standing

1:06:40.720 --> 1:06:42.640
<v Speaker 8>there and the place is lit by a lamp from

1:06:42.640 --> 1:06:45.480
<v Speaker 8>the street, and all of a sudden, all our ghost

1:06:45.520 --> 1:06:49.640
<v Speaker 8>monitors went off, and a shadow passed through the room,

1:06:50.200 --> 1:06:52.960
<v Speaker 8>blacking out the light from the street lamp for a second,

1:06:53.000 --> 1:06:54.680
<v Speaker 8>and then just like walked right through. And that's when

1:06:54.720 --> 1:06:58.880
<v Speaker 8>I was like, we should leave. And that's like people

1:06:58.960 --> 1:07:00.720
<v Speaker 8>sign waivers us.

1:07:02.240 --> 1:07:07.160
<v Speaker 1>No my son. We you know Miranda through our through

1:07:07.160 --> 1:07:12.320
<v Speaker 1>our son, through the acting community. And Miranda my son

1:07:12.440 --> 1:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>was talking about talking to you the other day. Jack

1:07:14.640 --> 1:07:17.120
<v Speaker 1>was saying that he wanted to go on a ghost

1:07:17.200 --> 1:07:18.880
<v Speaker 1>tour with you, and you said you don't want to

1:07:18.920 --> 1:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>go with me because I get too scared.

1:07:22.520 --> 1:07:25.600
<v Speaker 8>Y'all, Eddie Rock you guys, You guys do not want

1:07:25.640 --> 1:07:27.160
<v Speaker 8>to come on with me on a ghost tour.

1:07:27.320 --> 1:07:27.600
<v Speaker 5>I am.

1:07:27.680 --> 1:07:30.720
<v Speaker 8>I'm legit scared during the ghost tour and if anything happens,

1:07:31.120 --> 1:07:33.400
<v Speaker 8>there's a very good chance that I would just leave.

1:07:33.840 --> 1:07:41.680
<v Speaker 8>I would. That's why my bosses have been like, well, Miranda,

1:07:41.680 --> 1:07:43.400
<v Speaker 8>why don't you do all the media. You can go

1:07:43.480 --> 1:07:45.840
<v Speaker 8>on the news, you can talk to like everybody on radio,

1:07:45.880 --> 1:07:47.640
<v Speaker 8>and we won't make you do a ghost tour anymore.

1:07:47.880 --> 1:07:49.800
<v Speaker 8>Although you know what I do miss is I do

1:07:49.960 --> 1:07:52.160
<v Speaker 8>tend to lose ten pounds this time of year out

1:07:52.200 --> 1:07:54.720
<v Speaker 8>of fear, and so I'm going to miss that little

1:07:54.800 --> 1:07:58.400
<v Speaker 8>weight loss coming to.

1:08:26.280 --> 1:08:27.920
<v Speaker 8>get scared when I say it, but it's sorry to

1:08:27.960 --> 1:08:29.720
<v Speaker 8>stay right now. If you called me at night then

1:08:29.720 --> 1:08:31.599
<v Speaker 8>I would be like, oh God, tell this story right now.

1:08:32.000 --> 1:08:34.960
<v Speaker 8>So have you guys ever been to the Newport Syndicate.

1:08:36.160 --> 1:08:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Over in Newport?

1:08:37.200 --> 1:08:39.320
<v Speaker 1>You know it's it's I know where it's at. Yeah,

1:08:39.400 --> 1:08:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I've been by there. Yeah.

1:08:42.200 --> 1:08:44.680
<v Speaker 8>So we we used to start our Gangster tour from

1:08:44.680 --> 1:08:46.960
<v Speaker 8>there and to syndicate, and we still talk about the

1:08:47.000 --> 1:08:49.920
<v Speaker 8>Syndicate on our Newport tour. We also also get to

1:08:49.960 --> 1:08:52.000
<v Speaker 8>go into Mansion Hill taven this year and do a

1:08:52.000 --> 1:08:54.600
<v Speaker 8>mini investigation, which is such a cool place if you

1:08:54.600 --> 1:08:57.360
<v Speaker 8>haven't been, it's like the Blues capital of like this

1:08:57.800 --> 1:09:00.680
<v Speaker 8>little area. It's like, it's amazing, Brian, it's done great work.

1:09:00.720 --> 1:09:03.840
<v Speaker 8>Anyway you bought syndicates. It used to be owned by

1:09:03.880 --> 1:09:08.400
<v Speaker 8>a gangster called Peach Schmidt and he skinned somebody alive

1:09:08.680 --> 1:09:11.639
<v Speaker 8>in the kitchens. The kitchens that they still used today.

1:09:11.640 --> 1:09:14.400
<v Speaker 8>Apparently they do lovely events like weddings and things like that.

1:09:14.880 --> 1:09:17.840
<v Speaker 8>And that guy has been seen. He's a tall, thin

1:09:17.960 --> 1:09:20.599
<v Speaker 8>man in a dark suit with a thin mustache. He's

1:09:20.640 --> 1:09:24.439
<v Speaker 8>been seen by multiple waitresses people working there. They keep

1:09:24.479 --> 1:09:27.120
<v Speaker 8>seeing him around because obviously when you die, that horrifically.

1:09:27.160 --> 1:09:30.240
<v Speaker 8>It probably sort of traps your spirit. I'd heard about him,

1:09:30.680 --> 1:09:33.080
<v Speaker 8>and one time at the start of our gangster tour,

1:09:33.240 --> 1:09:35.719
<v Speaker 8>I just jumped into the syndicates to use their restroom,

1:09:36.560 --> 1:09:38.559
<v Speaker 8>and the janitor let me in and he's like, Hey,

1:09:38.560 --> 1:09:40.479
<v Speaker 8>nobody else is in the building right now, but sure

1:09:40.600 --> 1:09:42.439
<v Speaker 8>use the restroom. The door a lock on your way out.

1:09:42.520 --> 1:09:44.840
<v Speaker 8>I'm going to go back into the jeweling piano bar

1:09:44.880 --> 1:09:47.000
<v Speaker 8>and keep working away. I was like, great, I'm in

1:09:47.040 --> 1:09:50.519
<v Speaker 8>the restroom in a stall and suddenly the door opens

1:09:50.520 --> 1:09:53.600
<v Speaker 8>to the restroom and the lights go out, and I

1:09:53.800 --> 1:09:57.040
<v Speaker 8>was like, ah, excuse, like there's somebody in here. There's

1:09:57.040 --> 1:10:01.080
<v Speaker 8>a pause, and then there's footsteps, heavy footsteps that cross

1:10:01.160 --> 1:10:04.479
<v Speaker 8>across the floor until something is standing right in front

1:10:04.520 --> 1:10:06.439
<v Speaker 8>of the stole. And I'm a tool guide. I always

1:10:06.479 --> 1:10:08.160
<v Speaker 8>have a flashlight on me, so I pull out my

1:10:08.200 --> 1:10:11.720
<v Speaker 8>flashlights flick it on. There's men shoes standing on the

1:10:11.760 --> 1:10:13.960
<v Speaker 8>other side of the stole door. They were like old

1:10:14.000 --> 1:10:17.040
<v Speaker 8>timey shoes, like wingtips eyes what I think they're called.

1:10:17.080 --> 1:10:19.320
<v Speaker 8>And as I turn my flashlight on the shoes, they

1:10:19.400 --> 1:10:21.240
<v Speaker 8>kind of shift back and forth a little, as if

1:10:21.240 --> 1:10:23.759
<v Speaker 8>this guy's deciding what to do, and then they step

1:10:23.840 --> 1:10:27.519
<v Speaker 8>backwards out of the light. I'm terrified. This is like

1:10:27.560 --> 1:10:29.559
<v Speaker 8>one of the scariest moments of my life. I gather

1:10:29.680 --> 1:10:32.960
<v Speaker 8>myself together. I basically unlock the door to the stole

1:10:33.040 --> 1:10:35.120
<v Speaker 8>at the same time as I kick it open, like

1:10:35.160 --> 1:10:38.880
<v Speaker 8>in Ninja, and then I run through the bathroom to

1:10:38.960 --> 1:10:42.000
<v Speaker 8>outside the restroom. I think I felt something sort of

1:10:42.040 --> 1:10:43.840
<v Speaker 8>grab at my hair, but I was so terrified, I

1:10:43.840 --> 1:10:46.320
<v Speaker 8>don't even know got to the outside of the restroom.

1:10:46.320 --> 1:10:48.280
<v Speaker 8>Now I'm standing in the light. My heart's gitting a

1:10:48.320 --> 1:10:50.880
<v Speaker 8>million miles an hour. After about a minute, I was like,

1:10:51.000 --> 1:10:53.439
<v Speaker 8>I got a check, and so I lean back in.

1:10:53.479 --> 1:10:55.200
<v Speaker 8>I used my elbow to nuts to open the door,

1:10:55.200 --> 1:10:57.440
<v Speaker 8>flick the lights on, look into the restroom.

1:10:57.600 --> 1:11:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Nobody there, nobody there and no one. No one escaped,

1:11:01.040 --> 1:11:03.519
<v Speaker 1>No one got out at all. Right, it couldn't happen.

1:11:04.640 --> 1:11:08.000
<v Speaker 8>No, It's the only exit to the restroom, like you

1:11:08.040 --> 1:11:09.600
<v Speaker 8>would have. It's the only way to get in and

1:11:09.600 --> 1:11:11.879
<v Speaker 8>out of there. And after that, I lost ten.

1:11:11.720 --> 1:11:15.759
<v Speaker 1>Pounds folloween diet.

1:11:18.720 --> 1:11:24.920
<v Speaker 8>Nothing like having a good then. I haven't paid since

1:11:24.960 --> 1:11:29.280
<v Speaker 8>you guys, it's been holding it in the.

1:11:32.160 --> 1:11:32.400
<v Speaker 3>Doing.

1:11:33.240 --> 1:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>But describe these tours. It's American Legacy Tours Miranda. So

<v Speaker 1>you book this stuff?

1:11:41.479 --> 1:11:41.639
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

1:11:41.760 --> 1:11:43.719
<v Speaker 8>So it was really easy to book. Just go online

1:11:43.720 --> 1:11:46.759
<v Speaker 8>to American Legacy Tours dot com and we have fourteen

1:11:46.800 --> 1:11:49.599
<v Speaker 8>different tours. Most of them are history tours or Baseball

1:11:49.640 --> 1:11:52.479
<v Speaker 8>tours or Newpork Gangster tours, and then we have the

1:11:52.560 --> 1:11:55.840
<v Speaker 8>six wanted tours. The groups can be up to We

1:11:55.920 --> 1:11:58.439
<v Speaker 8>try and tap them at around twenty because otherwise it's

1:11:58.520 --> 1:12:01.839
<v Speaker 8>just not as scary, and of varying experiences like Nightmare

1:12:01.840 --> 1:12:03.800
<v Speaker 8>on Elm Street, which I've talked to you guys about

1:12:03.840 --> 1:12:06.760
<v Speaker 8>over the years, where we go thirty feet underground into

1:12:06.760 --> 1:12:09.360
<v Speaker 8>tunnels in the dark and we give you ghost hunting

1:12:09.400 --> 1:12:11.760
<v Speaker 8>equipment and you go off and do your own ghost investigation.

1:12:12.240 --> 1:12:14.320
<v Speaker 8>And then you have things like the New Pool one

1:12:14.320 --> 1:12:17.200
<v Speaker 8>where you're over at Mansion Hill Tavern or Clifton and

1:12:17.240 --> 1:12:19.479
<v Speaker 8>these are all walking tours, so you're walking around with

1:12:19.520 --> 1:12:22.400
<v Speaker 8>a guide who's telling you the sort of crazy haunted

1:12:22.560 --> 1:12:25.080
<v Speaker 8>history of the area. And yeah, no one will be

1:12:25.160 --> 1:12:27.439
<v Speaker 8>jumping out at you. If anybody does jump out at you,

1:12:27.760 --> 1:12:30.000
<v Speaker 8>I always say just follow me because I'll be running

1:12:30.000 --> 1:12:33.800
<v Speaker 8>the fastest anybody in a clown class soon jumps out.

1:12:34.000 --> 1:12:36.560
<v Speaker 8>That's not someone from American Legacy Tours. We do not

1:12:36.680 --> 1:12:38.000
