Speaker 1: Do you want to be an American idiots?
Speaker 2: Got slow show seven hundred WLW. You always kick off
Speaker 2: Friday morning with this little Bengal football talk three and
Speaker 2: seven in Cincinnati and nine and two New England. Who
Speaker 2: saw that coming at the beginning of the season. No
Speaker 2: more Brady, No, we're Belichick. Now it's May and Rabel.
Speaker 2: They're getting it done. Joining the show this morning as
Speaker 2: always Fridays before game day is the living legend. That'd
Speaker 2: be Dan Horde on the show. Dan Horde, you are
Speaker 2: a living legend.
Speaker 3: Good morning, sir, that's kind of you to say, Sloany,
Speaker 3: I'm doing well.
Speaker 4: Now you hear your voy.
Speaker 2: Good good, good, good good. This is arguably one of
Speaker 2: the biggest sports weekend in Cincinnati history. If you think
Speaker 2: about it, maybe that's a little overblown. But you've got
Speaker 2: this Bengals game. We'll get to that in a second.
Speaker 2: Why that's so big tonight? You've got Saint X and
Speaker 2: Elder at pay Course Stadium. You've got UC and Louisville,
Speaker 2: you have FC Cincinnati and Inter Miami playing. You've got
Speaker 2: BYU and UC and the Bengals on Sunday. What am
Speaker 2: I missing?
Speaker 3: You are missing a UC versus nji T on Monday.
Speaker 3: It continues right into Monday with the New Jersey Institute
Speaker 3: of Technology rolling into town.
Speaker 2: It's good. What is their team? What's the mascot there?
Speaker 3: They are the Highlanders, the Highlanders based in Newark, New Jersey,
Speaker 3: and it's a prestigious academic institution.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm sure it is. Okay, So the what do
Speaker 2: you say? The minute many artichokes?
Speaker 5: What is it?
Speaker 6: Lander?
Speaker 2: Highlanders? Highland? J I T Highlander? Let me write that
Speaker 2: down here. Well, if we have time, we'll break that
Speaker 2: matchup down. I don't know if we'll be able to
Speaker 2: get We may have to hold you on for another
Speaker 2: segment Dan to cover that, but I'm prepared. Let's let's
Speaker 2: jump in with the news here. First, Burrow or no Burrow.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard this morning and yesterday
Speaker 2: we played it was that good. Tom Brenneman sat down
Speaker 2: with coach Zach Taylor, and Zach in his two or
Speaker 2: three minutes he was on. Tom pressed him like it
Speaker 2: was sixty minutes for an answer on whether or not
Speaker 2: the yeah, he went full say, Zach was sweating smoking cigarettes.
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable. But as I've replayed it, I'm listening
Speaker 2: to this and you know, coaching going to give it away. Normally,
Speaker 2: if a players not playing and you kept pushing it,
Speaker 2: they kind of like cut you off. You know, you've
Speaker 2: been at many press conferences and probably have done that
Speaker 2: many times yourself. I know what that's like. But yet
Speaker 2: the coach was very very jovial about it, like in
Speaker 2: a really really good mood. Despite what's going on with
Speaker 2: the seam, no Jamar Chase, no Trey Hendrickson. You've got
Speaker 2: New England coming to town. You know, let's face it,
Speaker 2: hot seats are hab. He seemed awfully happy, and maybe
Speaker 2: I'm reading too much into it, but it feels to
Speaker 2: me like he's a go on Sunday.
Speaker 3: I don't think we're there yet, but I think it's
Speaker 3: the real possibility. Joe practice with the you know, eleven
Speaker 3: on eleven drills on Wednesday, did it again yesterday, and
Speaker 3: we'll do it again today. They practiced this morning. I
Speaker 3: think after three days of practice, he'll be evaluated and
Speaker 3: they will be closer to making a decision. There's also
Speaker 3: a Joe Flacco factor here. Keep in mind, he heard
Speaker 3: his show against the Jets. He's been practicing just once
Speaker 3: a week, so there's a little bit of a combo
Speaker 3: going on where the sub is now hurt and the
Speaker 3: injured guy is now getting healthy. But I think it
Speaker 3: is a real possibility that Brow returns this week, which
Speaker 3: would be amazing, basically a month ahead of schedule.
Speaker 2: It's incredible. I mean, it's really really something to him
Speaker 2: and the training staff, the medical staff and anyone else.
Speaker 2: And you probably won't see him under center because you
Speaker 2: know he's got a backpedal with that bad foot. You
Speaker 2: don't want to do that.
Speaker 3: I don't know about that, to tell you the truth.
Speaker 3: I mean, if Joe comes back, he's only coming back
Speaker 3: if the foot specialist and the doctors say you're good
Speaker 3: to go. Now. He will play with some sort of
Speaker 3: protective you know, plate or something in his shoe to
Speaker 3: give it a little bit of extra protection. But I
Speaker 3: don't think they're going to let him come back if
Speaker 3: he is significantly compromised. Now, Joe doesn't love being under
Speaker 3: center anyway. He takes most of his snaps out of
Speaker 3: the shotgun. So under healthy circumstances, a hundred percent healthy circumstances,
Speaker 3: he's not under center a lot.
Speaker 4: Anyway.
Speaker 3: But if he comes back, I think he's coming back
Speaker 3: with a green light to do anything that they would
Speaker 3: normally have him to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also to feed into that too. I mean
Speaker 2: if this were his plant foot, different story, I think,
Speaker 2: and hey, can you get away and not being one
Speaker 2: hundred percent on that one, And that's something the medical
Speaker 2: staff hasked away. I was talking to Tony Pike about
Speaker 2: this yesterday. And you know, a player also has to
Speaker 2: be honest about the pain level they're feeling, too, and
Speaker 2: players want to play, and so again it's it may
Speaker 2: be a perfect science still in perfect in that capacity
Speaker 2: that someone wants to do something like that, I'll be good.
Speaker 2: I'm okay, And athletes are famous for that. So and
Speaker 2: in the fear obviously is risking the off season. So
Speaker 2: we don't want to see that happen.
Speaker 4: No, we don't.
Speaker 3: And I'm sure they are counting on Joe to be
Speaker 3: honest because he knows his value to the franchise. He's
Speaker 3: the most important guy in the building. So if he's
Speaker 3: feeling anything significant other than you know, the tiniest bit
Speaker 3: of residual pain, he's got to tell the docs and
Speaker 3: the foot specialists and protect himself.
Speaker 2: That is the most incredible story I think of the
Speaker 2: season is that Joe Burrow went down with turftow and
Speaker 2: he's back in record time.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 2: The other thing, too, is you start looking. We've talked
Speaker 2: about this, Dan threading the needle right there, three and
Speaker 2: seven right now. You felt last week was a must
Speaker 2: win game at Pittsburgh that didn't work out. Obviously, you
Speaker 2: got nine to two New England coming in. No Trey Hendrickson,
Speaker 2: no Jamar. There's a lot on the line in this
Speaker 2: particular game, and there's not much will the room left
Speaker 2: if you lose this one.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not even thinking about that anymore, and
Speaker 3: I don't think many people realistically are sure. If you
Speaker 3: run the table, then that possibility comes back into play.
Speaker 3: But we said last week's game was must win in
Speaker 3: terms of still having chance and in a division they
Speaker 3: didn't win. So now you look at different things to
Speaker 3: try to accomplish over the final seven games of the season,
Speaker 3: and number one on the list is trying to figure
Speaker 3: out which guys on defense can be part of the
Speaker 3: solution to a defense that has obviously really struggled for
Speaker 3: the last couple of years with all these young guys
Speaker 3: that they've drafted since twenty twenty two, Which guys do
Speaker 3: you think have a chance to be part of a
Speaker 3: competent defense, Which guys don't, because at the end of
Speaker 3: this year, there are definitely going to be major changes
Speaker 3: on that side of the ball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't think it over shadow. I mean,
Speaker 2: the two franchises right now this year are heading in
Speaker 2: opposite directions. And I think the narrative for the AFC
Speaker 2: Patriots nine and two with a twenty three year old
Speaker 2: potential MVP quarterback and a top five defense, to me,
Speaker 2: that's like the big story of the AFC. The Patriots
Speaker 2: came out of maybe not out of nowhere, but I
Speaker 2: don't think anyone saw this level of success.
Speaker 3: They won four games last year, and they won four
Speaker 3: games the year before, so yeah, I think maybe people
Speaker 3: expected a significant improvement, but nobody expected nine and two.
Speaker 3: They have feasted on a pretty weak schedule to this
Speaker 3: point and it's pretty weak going forward. So it's been
Speaker 3: a good year in that respect for the Patriots. They're
Speaker 3: having one of those years. The Bengals had this a
Speaker 3: few years ago where it seems like whenever they play,
Speaker 3: one of the other team's best guys is out and
Speaker 3: it's happening again this week, Jamar Chase, no doubt so
Speaker 3: the timing it just has been good. I do think, though,
Speaker 3: there's something encouraging in the Patriots story, and that is
Speaker 3: the fact that last year these two teams almost gave
Speaker 3: up the same amount of points. The Bengals gave up
Speaker 3: seventeen more in seventeen games than the Patriots did in
Speaker 3: one year. The Patriots have fixed their defense. They're getting
Speaker 3: up less than twenty points a game. They signed several
Speaker 3: free agents that have helped them flip it. The Bengals
Speaker 3: are going to have to use free agency in the
Speaker 3: draft to try to flip it. But the Patriots have
Speaker 3: proven this year it can be done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I you know, we've seen this before too.
Speaker 2: Sample size here with Drake may he has what twenty
Speaker 2: eight hundred passing yards and I'm leaving the NFL twenty tds.
Speaker 2: He's putting huge numbers up right now. He appears to
Speaker 2: be the next franchise quarterback there New England. Are we
Speaker 2: overreacting though in the short number of games they played.
Speaker 3: No, I think he is that guy for the Patriots.
Speaker 3: You know, Joe Burrow took the Bengals to the Super
Speaker 3: Bowl in his second year, and I think in many
Speaker 3: instances with quarterbacks, if they have this type of year
Speaker 3: in year two, you know pretty confidently that you've got
Speaker 3: your guy. He was a third pick in the draft.
Speaker 4: For a reason.
Speaker 3: You know this is turning out to be last year's
Speaker 3: draft pretty extraordinary for quarterbacks, with Jayden Daniels going to,
Speaker 3: Drake May going three, and Caleb Williams going one. All
Speaker 3: of those guys have had pretty impressive moments in their
Speaker 3: first year and a half. The Patriots are nine and two,
Speaker 3: the Bears are seven and three. Daniels took Washington to
Speaker 3: the NFC Championship Game last year, so I'm not sure
Speaker 3: which of the three is ultimately going to turn out
Speaker 3: to be the best, but I think all three of
Speaker 3: those teams feel pretty good about the guy they took.
Speaker 3: And then throw bow knicks in there as well. Four
Speaker 3: quarterbacks from last year's draft doing really well, incredible.
Speaker 2: They do have a lot of Drake May face a
Speaker 2: lot of pressure though I think second most of the
Speaker 2: NFL and sacks something along those lines.
Speaker 4: This week.
Speaker 2: Can the Bengals generate pressure on May without him there?
Speaker 2: And Shamar Stewart, while not that he was doing anything.
Speaker 2: But those two are not going to play this weekend.
Speaker 2: Can they get anything in the pass rush game going? Well,
Speaker 2: they can't get as much as they would have if
Speaker 2: they had Trey, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: We really haven't seen Chamar yet since Opening Day have
Speaker 3: a big impact on a game. One of the reasons
Speaker 3: why may a second in the NFL at being sacked
Speaker 3: is that he will hold the ball, try to make
Speaker 3: big plays. He uses his legs a lot, He's a
Speaker 3: good runner, so I would anticipate the Bengals will probably
Speaker 3: get to him a couple of times because of that.
Speaker 3: But you know, can they harass him the way that
Speaker 3: Houston harassed Josh Allen last night?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And unfortunately probably not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a whole different set of circumstances there,
Speaker 2: Dan Horde. As far as the Patriots defense goes, best
Speaker 2: run defense in football, It's gonna be a tough day
Speaker 2: for Chase Browning company right now, especially considering, you know,
Speaker 2: Joe's gonna have one less tool. We talked about Jamar
Speaker 2: Chase being out this week for spitting on Jalen Ramsey
Speaker 2: in sunday thirty four to twelve loss. So Tea will
Speaker 2: Tea obviously but Gasecki's back, though he returned to practice
Speaker 2: miss last four games. I had that Peck injuries on
Speaker 2: the IR so you got him. But who steps some
Speaker 2: of that other wide receiver roles at Yoshi vas Tinsley?
Speaker 3: Yes, and yes, I think those two guys will start.
Speaker 3: Obviously Yosi Vash does anyway, So the guy that will
Speaker 3: take the bulk of the snaps that are available because
Speaker 3: Jamar will not play, will likely be Mitch Tinsley, maybe
Speaker 3: Charlie Jones see some action. I do think that there's
Speaker 3: a good chance that Kasseki will be activated, and I
Speaker 3: think you're going to see a lot of Chase Brown.
Speaker 3: Chase Brown has had one hundred or more combined rushing
Speaker 3: and receiving yards now for four straight games. The early
Speaker 3: season slump is over. He had ninety nine rushing yards
Speaker 3: last week against the good run stopping Pittsburgh defense, and
Speaker 3: the Patriots are excellent at that. But they lost their
Speaker 3: best defensive lineman this past Weeklton Williams went on injured reserves,
Speaker 3: so they're not going to have him, and the run
Speaker 3: defense has shown maybe a little bit of leakage over
Speaker 3: the past couple of weeks. Their last two opponents and
Speaker 3: both average more than five yards of carry. So maybe
Speaker 3: the Bengals can get something going on the ground this week.
Speaker 2: I hope so, because you think Joe's probably gonna have
Speaker 2: to maybe hand the ball a little bit more, just
Speaker 2: take the pressure off. You know what was interesting?
Speaker 4: Joe?
Speaker 2: Which Joe?
Speaker 7: Do you have to clarify our Joe?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. We got so many Joe's. I'd imagine
Speaker 2: Christian Gonzalez is going to line up across T Higgins
Speaker 2: as the number one. That's going to be a real
Speaker 2: good test for T Higgins. The Patriots haven't done that
Speaker 2: this year. They did that last year. He's their best corner.
Speaker 2: Last year they had him a shadow the other team's
Speaker 2: best guy. They've mixed that up this year where sometimes
Speaker 2: they have Gonzales defend the number two guy in order
Speaker 2: to double team the number one guy, which some teams do.
Speaker 2: So they'll probably mix it up this week because Jamar
Speaker 2: is out, I suppose it becomes more likely Di Gonzales
Speaker 2: will follow T Higgins around, but I wouldn't expect that to.
Speaker 4: Be the case in every snap.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you explain the resurgence of Steph Diggs?
Speaker 3: Well, he was hurt last year. You know, he's when
Speaker 3: he's played, he's always played well. He's been a pain
Speaker 3: in the neck for some of his previous organizations. He obviously,
Speaker 3: you know, wore out his welcome in Buffalo, but before
Speaker 3: that happened, he was phenomenal. So he's healthy. He's back
Speaker 3: from a torn acl I think that happened in week
Speaker 3: four last year, so it was early enough for him
Speaker 3: to rehab and to be ready for the start of
Speaker 3: the season.
Speaker 4: So he's a great player.
Speaker 3: And you know when he's not grumpy because of the
Speaker 3: amount of throws coming his way, he always performs.
Speaker 2: Seems like he's moved past I mean, he's thirty one
Speaker 2: at this point. He's not Walsh. But you know it
Speaker 2: took him a long time to learn that lesson is
Speaker 2: not to be that guy in the locker room. It
Speaker 2: doesn't appears that all that way, and just happy with
Speaker 2: what he's he gets in New England.
Speaker 3: Well, he's been great so far. But I think that's
Speaker 3: always been the case early wherever he's been. Maybe that
Speaker 3: will continue to be the case long term in New England.
Speaker 3: You know, last year is one year with Houston. Again,
Speaker 3: it didn't last very long. He towards acl in October,
Speaker 3: but he was named to captain. They said everything great
Speaker 3: about him. So I do think that when he gets
Speaker 3: a you know, a fresh start somewhere, there's always a
Speaker 3: great honeymoon period and the Patriots are enjoying it right now.
Speaker 2: All right, Danny, give us a timeline here indicators that
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow will or won't play, starting with today, because
Speaker 2: what Today's the day you got to make some moves.
Speaker 2: You've got to make an active house's work.
Speaker 3: So he'll practice today and they'll continue to evaluate how
Speaker 3: his toe feels. They'll also be keeping an eye on
Speaker 3: Flacco to see how his shoulder feels. If Joe Burrow
Speaker 3: is going to play on Sunday, they would have to
Speaker 3: activate him right now. He's still in the twenty one
Speaker 3: day window where he can practice without counting against the
Speaker 3: fifty three man roster, so that could be done as
Speaker 3: late as tomorrow. They don't have to do it today,
Speaker 3: So we probably won't know for sure today, but if
Speaker 3: he practices and everything goes smoothly, it probably continues to
Speaker 3: move in the direction at least of possible weturn to
Speaker 3: the lineup this week, and that would require the Bengals
Speaker 3: activating him sometime before the game on Sunday.
Speaker 2: And then you'd have to also release him, So it
Speaker 2: would it be Jake Brownie.
Speaker 3: Well, Sean Clifford is on the fifty three man roster
Speaker 3: right now, So Sean Clifford, I would think, would be
Speaker 3: removed from the fifty three man roster. The Bengals would
Speaker 3: probably try to put him back on the practice squad
Speaker 3: and that would open up a spot for Joe Gotcha.
Speaker 2: Gotcha, because you know, obviously if Joe is ready to go,
Speaker 2: and God forbid, something happens. Joe Flacco doesn't seem like
Speaker 2: he's going to be able to throw the ball. You
Speaker 2: need somebody who is well, has an arm. So that
Speaker 2: kind of leads Jake Brownie, doesn't it.
Speaker 3: Well, Joe Flacco hasn't missed any time because of his
Speaker 3: shoulder injury, and it happened in the Jets game week.
Speaker 3: I'm sure he probably took a shot to the shoulder
Speaker 3: before the game. He went out and threw for four
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy yards. Then he had a bye week,
Speaker 3: then he played last week. Didn't play great against the Steelers.
Speaker 3: I didn't think he threw.
Speaker 4: The ball as well.
Speaker 3: As he had. But you know, who knows if that's
Speaker 3: the shoulder. If it was the windy conditions in Pittsburgh,
Speaker 3: could have been a bad day. He says, he's feeling
Speaker 3: a little bit better as the weeks go along. So
Speaker 3: I think Joe's probably okay to play. I have not
Speaker 3: watched him practice this week. You know, we only get
Speaker 3: to see so much once the season begins, So I
Speaker 3: would expect that if Burrow gets the green light and
Speaker 3: comes back this week, the pecking order would be Joe B,
Speaker 3: Joe F, and then Jake got it.
Speaker 2: So you see, basketball got louis number six, Louisville in town.
Speaker 2: And of course the other game here is BYU. U
Speaker 2: see under the lights at Nippert with the national TV
Speaker 2: audience coming to town at noon on Fox, and of
Speaker 2: course overshadowed by your broadcast you and Pike tomorrow at
Speaker 2: at Nippert Stadium. I was just so unsure you were
Speaker 2: too in Arizona. Was disappointed with that Arizona loss.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: You want to have that momentum going into BYU and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you're looking at possibles in three straight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very disappointed in that game because I think the
Speaker 3: two teams are comparable, and when that's the case, you
Speaker 3: got to win the home games, yep, against teams that
Speaker 3: are about the same as you are. And then they
Speaker 3: didn't get that done last week, and it is disappointing
Speaker 3: because had they won that game, there would be a
Speaker 3: ton at stake tomorrow night. The interest level would be
Speaker 3: huge nationally because had Cincinnati won last week, and if
Speaker 3: the Bearcats should win again tomorrow, they would have been
Speaker 3: right in the hunt for playing in the Big twelve
Speaker 3: championship game. They controlled their destiny as of last week.
Speaker 3: Now they don't. They still got a shot to make
Speaker 3: it if they win tomorrow, but they need other teams
Speaker 3: to lose. You never like it when that's the case.
Speaker 3: It's Senior Night tomorrow. It's a great senior class. And
Speaker 3: last year they ended the season on a sour no
Speaker 3: they were five and two and didn't win a game.
Speaker 3: They lost the last five games. This year they were
Speaker 3: seven and one. Now they've lost to in a row.
Speaker 3: They're trying to avoid another similar late season slide. So
Speaker 3: BYU is the favorite Tomorrow. BYU is excellent. They're number
Speaker 3: eleven in the country. They've only lost once. It's a
Speaker 3: really good team. But I think Cincinnati is a really
Speaker 3: good team. The atmosphere is going to be great. Let's
Speaker 3: see if the Bearcats can you deliver in one of
Speaker 3: those memorable home wins over a you know, a highly
Speaker 3: ranked team that we've seen in the past.
Speaker 2: All right, then you got Louisville. Good night, and then
Speaker 2: quick turnaround of course the big game Monday against NTI,
Speaker 2: JEN and NBC.
Speaker 3: What is it n j I T the New Jersey
Speaker 3: Institute of Technology, the all the modern of original astronaut
Speaker 3: Wally Sier.
Speaker 2: You're not big? How about that? All right? Thank New
Speaker 2: Jersey Instance Technology? Or are the the Petri Dishes? What
Speaker 2: what was again?
Speaker 4: Islanders?
Speaker 2: Islanders? Yeah, that's the Highlander Island. See, I got you
Speaker 2: all right, I'm gonna write that down. Dan Hord, have
Speaker 2: a great games all weekend long. He won't shut up
Speaker 2: till Tuesday. Dan Horde, Voice of the Bengals. Sunday, we'll
Speaker 2: find out out. Joey B or maybe Joey F. One
Speaker 2: of the Joey's are going to be in there for sure.
Speaker 2: All the best, brother, Thanks again for the time. I
Speaker 2: appreciate you. You bet have a good game, and we've
Speaker 2: got a news update happening right now as we slide
Speaker 2: in the weekend here, it's a Scott Sloan show with
Speaker 2: Will Gans from ABC. The new uh Wicked movie is
Speaker 2: out right now. He's seen that? Is it worth it?
Speaker 2: We'll get into that and some streaming stuff as well.
Speaker 2: Seven hundred.
Speaker 1: Now a man who has entertainment reporting of coursing through.
Speaker 6: His beans, which makes him a medical opaity.
Speaker 5: He is ABC Will Gans from New York.
Speaker 2: Will Gans is here from ABC in New York. How
Speaker 2: are you doing, brother?
Speaker 6: I'm doing all right? How are you?
Speaker 2: Everything is lovely ready for a big weekend here before
Speaker 2: we get in to obviously the big news here and
Speaker 2: that's a Wicked movie. A couple of things on streaming,
Speaker 2: and it kind of throw a curveball at as I
Speaker 2: usually do. We finally settled the YouTube TV carriage dispute
Speaker 2: between Disney and ESPN, and it just seems like is
Speaker 2: it me or are we just getting more of the
Speaker 2: stuff with streaming. It's like it's happening all the time now.
Speaker 5: No, I don't think it's just you, you know, And
Speaker 5: I think like, as these mergers continue to happen, we're
Speaker 5: probably gearing up for even more confusing consolidations or disputes
Speaker 5: or both. But yeah, no, it definitely does feel like
Speaker 5: you know, in this brave new frontier of streaming that
Speaker 5: like they haven't figured it out yet. And the next
Speaker 5: thing coming up, by the way, like and this has
Speaker 5: already happened everywhere except for the United States, is that
Speaker 5: Hulu is essentially going away and it's just going to
Speaker 5: be like a tab in your Disney Plus app as well.
Speaker 5: So like you know, if you if you are used
Speaker 5: to going to Hulu to watch any of your favorite stuff,
Speaker 5: like pretty soon that's going to be a big shift
Speaker 5: as well.
Speaker 6: So yeah, it is.
Speaker 5: It is not just you, it's it's it's definitely a
Speaker 5: more and more frequent card.
Speaker 2: And it seems like more so with sports too, because
Speaker 2: it just, you know, it gets it's it's difficult, it's
Speaker 2: more expensive, and the everything's going up when it comes
Speaker 2: to sports rights holders because there's so much money in
Speaker 2: sports right now, and obviously there's going to be dispute
Speaker 2: between in this case to carry YouTube TV which continues
Speaker 2: to grow and in this case Disney slash ESPN.
Speaker 5: Exactly, And you know, sports really is like I think
Speaker 5: I saw a headline fairly recently that like for Disney,
Speaker 5: like half half of the like you know, creative budget
Speaker 5: for for.
Speaker 6: You know, next year is it's like.
Speaker 5: Half sports, half scripted entertainment and stuff like that.
Speaker 6: So, you know, sports is really.
Speaker 4: One of the few.
Speaker 5: Instances where you have to be watching live to enjoy it,
Speaker 5: where like everything else pretty much you know, you can stream,
Speaker 5: you know, without having missed out on too much of anything.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: Well, not to get too philosophical, but I think the
Speaker 2: future it's gonna be AI. Right, it's gonna be AI characters,
Speaker 2: AI voice, AI script writing. It's going to be top
Speaker 2: to bottom AI, no mat much Hollywood fights it. That's
Speaker 2: the way things are headed. It's going to be all
Speaker 2: generated you know, talent so to speak, and people, actors,
Speaker 2: et cetera. Uh, that leaves the only thing left is
Speaker 2: going to be maybe reality TV, but certainly live sports.
Speaker 5: Yeah exactly, I mean, and obviously you know, personally, of course,
Speaker 5: I hope you're wrong, and you know, I don't know, Yeah,
Speaker 5: you know, because like, yeah, no.
Speaker 2: One's going to go on striketh. There's not going to
Speaker 2: be people quitting shows. It's a it's like the Simpsons.
Speaker 5: You just get new people to draw it right right, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean it does get very philosophical because it's like,
Speaker 5: you know, then to what it's like, what is art?
Speaker 6: Really?
Speaker 5: It's like AI is writing the script for you know,
Speaker 5: the movie, you know, the movie that is supposed to
Speaker 5: move you. I don't know, I don't know, but yeah, sports,
Speaker 5: I guess, you know.
Speaker 6: Maybe I'll pivot careers and see.
Speaker 5: You know how I how I fare as a running back?
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well maybe I Don'll be virtual football teams.
Speaker 2: I suppose I your team was a super Bowl every year.
Speaker 2: Possibly this is not what you signed up for. Of
Speaker 2: course we're talking about. Well, I love talking to you
Speaker 2: because you know all this stuff. All right, So, a
Speaker 2: little movie you may have heard of. It's called Wicked,
Speaker 2: and I was impressed the other night. I didn't watch it,
Speaker 2: but the original was only a year old. I was
Speaker 2: on NBC already that usually, you know, again, talk about
Speaker 2: how things are changing. Back in the day, it would
Speaker 2: be years before a big movie like that would show,
Speaker 2: would be a big event. And now it's like, hey,
Speaker 2: a year later and okay, NBC broadcast you can show it.
Speaker 2: Why is that happening?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 5: I think you know, because you have the big you know,
Speaker 5: media conglomerates.
Speaker 2: They know that if they show Wicked.
Speaker 5: Part one on NBC, it might remind everybody, oh yeah,
Speaker 5: Wicked Part two is coming out. Let's go spend twenty
Speaker 5: dollars a person. And so for them, it's like a giant.
Speaker 2: Commercial, you know what I mean, Yeah, that's exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So you know, and and I think, you know, to.
Speaker 5: Some extent obviously paying off. I think Wicked Part two
Speaker 5: would have done fine regardless, but now it's looking at
Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty million dollars this weekend opening, which
Speaker 5: would be the biggest you know, theatrical release of the year.
Speaker 5: So you know, all their ideas.
Speaker 6: They also had like a live special where the cat
Speaker 6: was singing, and.
Speaker 5: You know, of course they've been doing these massive premieres
Speaker 5: in every major city you know, on the globe, so
Speaker 5: you know, all of that press has has paid off.
Speaker 2: It seems like yeah, yeah, now, now the you know,
Speaker 2: a year ago it came out, biggest, one of the
Speaker 2: great movies, and now it's like, okay, we'll just show
Speaker 2: it on broadcasts and after that, because you're right, it's
Speaker 2: a it's a basically a lost leader. If you wanted
Speaker 2: to see Wicked. You've seen it because it's available everywhere, streaming,
Speaker 2: you know, whatever, whatever platform, it's just available to go.
Speaker 2: So you know it's going to come to market faster,
Speaker 2: I guess, come to broadcast faster. So let's pivot a
Speaker 2: Wicked for Good in the theaters this weekend. What can
Speaker 2: you expect?
Speaker 6: Yeah, so this is for.
Speaker 5: Anyone who's seen the musical. This is Act two of
Speaker 5: the musical. It's a little bit darker and the music
Speaker 5: is not as familiar. You know. Part one you get
Speaker 5: to find gravity and popular and all of the biggest
Speaker 5: songs from the from the musical.
Speaker 6: So part two, you know, you might not recognize as
Speaker 6: much of the music.
Speaker 5: That's not to say it's not as good, it's just
Speaker 5: less recognizable. And you know, so I will also say
Speaker 5: that like the second act of the musical, just the
Speaker 5: source material is not as it's not paced as well.
Speaker 5: It's a little clunkier maybe, So you know, reviews are
Speaker 5: sort of saying, you know, I don't think it's as
Speaker 5: good as the first one. But that said, you know,
Speaker 5: for fans of the first one, it's you know, you'll
Speaker 5: you'll get all of the stuff you love. There's humor.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of heart and to continue the Wizard
Speaker 5: of Oz, you know, metaphor, there's a lot of brains
Speaker 5: I guess as well here. So it's excellent. It's Ariana
Speaker 5: Grande and Cynthia Rivo, you know, shining, you know, and
Speaker 5: you get to see how this whole thing ends. So
Speaker 5: you know, I think it's going to do huge numbers
Speaker 5: this weekend, and with good reason.
Speaker 6: It's it's a great movie.
Speaker 2: Okay, good, So it stands up. If you are a
Speaker 2: fan of the genre, then you're gonna lie. It's it's
Speaker 2: this is it right? There's no part three, it's one and.
Speaker 5: Two exactly, exactly, that's correct.
Speaker 2: Okay, there's something out if you're not going to go
Speaker 2: to the theaters this weekend. Streaming stuff. Claire Danes, you
Speaker 2: may remember, who arguably talk about a niche for someone
Speaker 2: like this. She plays the best crazy slash paranoid person
Speaker 2: I think I've ever seen, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: And she played that character so well for years and
Speaker 2: now she's got something new.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So this is a psychological thriller. It's a limited series,
Speaker 5: so eight episodes on Netflix. She plays an author who
Speaker 5: lost her son a few years ago, and she sort
Speaker 5: of hasn't been able to write, hasn't really been able
Speaker 5: to leave her house too much, and she, you know,
Speaker 5: she's an uninspired author. And then this guy moves in
Speaker 5: down on the street. He's a millionaire whose ex wife
Speaker 5: went missing.
Speaker 4: A few years ago.
Speaker 5: So she is sort of thinking, Okay, this could be
Speaker 5: good material for my next book.
Speaker 6: But is he a murderer?
Speaker 5: She is? She losing her marbles a little bit, and
Speaker 5: and you know, they start off a little content and
Speaker 5: they sort of formed this weird, you know, friendship, and
Speaker 5: right from the jump it's pretty gripping. So and like
Speaker 5: you said, you know, she is such a force on screen, so.
Speaker 6: She's fabulous in it. The guy's played by Matthew Reeves.
Speaker 4: He's great too.
Speaker 5: So if you need like sort of a psychological thriller,
Speaker 5: this is the Beast in Me on Netflix and all
Speaker 5: the episodes are out.
Speaker 2: So she's unstable, like she wasn't Homeland all those years. Yes, awesome,
Speaker 2: that's a great type cancel one. But because she's been
Speaker 2: other things obviously, but man, you watch Homelands like she
Speaker 2: was so good.
Speaker 6: In that exactly, and you know, it's not an easy
Speaker 6: thing to.
Speaker 5: Play like an unreliable narrator type, so you know she
Speaker 5: does it very well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, the beast in me? What else
Speaker 2: you got?
Speaker 5: Season two of Palm Royals on Apple TV. The first
Speaker 5: few episodes are out now. So season one, this is
Speaker 5: the one with Kristin Wig and Alison Janny and Laura
Speaker 5: Dern And season one I was like a little bit.
Speaker 6: I just felt mid about yeah, exactly, it's all right.
Speaker 5: But season two, I think they really sort of figure
Speaker 5: themselves out a little bit. You know, they give us
Speaker 5: a lot more humor, which you want when Kristen Wigg
Speaker 5: is the lead in your show, and you know, it's
Speaker 5: a lot more like hijinks and hilarity and you know,
Speaker 5: murder and things like that. So it moved along in
Speaker 5: a much faster clip. And yeah, So if you were
Speaker 5: sort of okay about the first season, which I was,
Speaker 5: and I understand, I think it's worth giving season two
Speaker 5: a try because so far it feels like it's correcting
Speaker 5: the mistakes of the first season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I love Kristin Wig, and it struck me
Speaker 2: as I watched I think we watched maybe the first
Speaker 2: and part of the second, I was like, okay, I'm
Speaker 2: not feeling this time to move and that's sad because
Speaker 2: it's everything now is like, okay, if you don't hook
Speaker 2: me at the beginning, I'm out right, it's Kristin Wig.
Speaker 2: You wanted Kristen Wigg to be Kristen Wigg and she wasn't.
Speaker 2: And that sounds like maybe in the second season they're
Speaker 2: starting to maybe play that a little bit better, which is,
Speaker 2: you know why people show up, Let's.
Speaker 4: Face it, exactly exactly. And Carol Burnett still in it
Speaker 4: in this season. She's talking.
Speaker 5: The first season she was pretty much in a coma
Speaker 5: most of the time. So yeah, it's it's giving you,
Speaker 5: it's given fans what they want, I think in season two.
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, So you got the Beast to me,
Speaker 2: You've got Pomeroy al back on on Apple TV, and
Speaker 2: of course Wicked for Good is in theaters this weekend,
Speaker 2: like I got enough to choose, shom It's a busy weekend.
Speaker 2: Here Will all the Best again, Will Gance in New
Speaker 2: York at Will Dance with two S's.
Speaker 4: Thanks, thank you a great weekend, you too, you as well.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if I'm gonna have a chance
Speaker 2: to get out and go see Wicked Wicked two, because
Speaker 2: there's just so much good sports on started tonight. You
Speaker 2: got Alder sayin X in the Rain, you got you
Speaker 2: see in Louisville playing, which it feels like it's an
Speaker 2: afterthought now with all the stuff on the Thanksgiving pre
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving sports SCHMRGA sport this weekend you see in BYU
Speaker 2: Fox Big Noons town for that. We'll have the game
Speaker 2: for you here on Saturday night. Could be a little
Speaker 2: bit better. Maybe anticipating this had they not lost to
Speaker 2: Arizona now two in a row and BYU is tough.
Speaker 2: No one's really predicting you see to come out with
Speaker 2: a win on that one, and you know you certainly
Speaker 2: didn't see them losing out the season. That's a likelihood,
Speaker 2: it's a possibility. Maybe they can pull off the miracle
Speaker 2: tonight or tomorrow night. It'll be pretty good. You've got
Speaker 2: f C inner Miami as well, that is Lionel Messi
Speaker 2: in town and they take on FC at TQL Stadium.
Speaker 2: Winner advances in the playoffs. Now we're down to the
Speaker 2: just one win and out kind of scenario. If you lose,
Speaker 2: you're out. If you win, you keep on going. And
Speaker 2: then of course on Sunday, You've got Cincinnati and the
Speaker 2: New England Patriots. Not Brady, you're Belichick anymore. It's May
Speaker 2: and Vrabel and they're nine and two. The shocker, and
Speaker 2: I think the surprise story of the AFC for sure,
Speaker 2: the New England Patriots under Drake May getting it done.
Speaker 2: And the big question for us in the biggest sports
Speaker 2: store of the weekend, Joe Burrow will leap play or
Speaker 2: won't he play? That is the question Dan Horde was
Speaker 2: on earlier. He said, well, again, we're not going to
Speaker 2: note probably tomorrow at this point, he's going to practice
Speaker 2: practicing today, see how that goes, and then tomorrow will
Speaker 2: be a decision. We shall find out together whether or
Speaker 2: not Joey b is back, and that would be the
Speaker 2: Christmas miracle right there, would it not? In the Home
Speaker 2: of the best Bengals coverage seven hundred WW.
Speaker 1: Do you want to be an American idiot?
Speaker 2: Friday Morning's down flown on seven hundred WLW. There are
Speaker 2: some five and a half million Americans living abroad. One
Speaker 2: in five would like to move there permanently retire there.
Speaker 2: This is a disturbing stat. Forty percent of women ages
Speaker 2: fifteen to forty four absolutely want out of the country.
Speaker 2: We know we have a history here of people who
Speaker 2: have moved out and retired to countries abroad. Portugal, I
Speaker 2: think is still the number one, if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 2: but on all this and whether it's right for you,
Speaker 2: because I know someone who through some you know, one
Speaker 2: of those mutual connection kind of things, not personally. They
Speaker 2: moved to Spain, I believe, and lasted two months before
Speaker 2: they said no coming back to the United States.
Speaker 4: Not what I thought.
Speaker 2: It was not for everybody. The ins and out of
Speaker 2: doing this I've had around in the past. A good
Speaker 2: time to revisit this today would be Kathleen Petticorn. She's
Speaker 2: an expert on living and retiring abroad. Specifically, Kathleen, welcome back.
Speaker 4: Are you hello?
Speaker 8: Good morning?
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm fine? So I think the first thing is is
Speaker 2: the shock going Wait a minute, I can retire now,
Speaker 2: but I'd have to live abroad. I think for most
Speaker 2: people you have a disconnect there. Okay, that am I
Speaker 2: going to see any Americans? What about my friends and family?
Speaker 2: It's like going to the Witness Protection It's retire the
Speaker 2: Witness Retirement.
Speaker 5: Program is what this is a good luck at it
Speaker 5: that way.
Speaker 8: I guess it's a big idea, it's a huge lead
Speaker 8: on the service. It can be intimidating, it can seem crazy,
Speaker 8: and it's not for everyone, but for a lot of people,
Speaker 8: literally millions of Americans have done this at this point,
Speaker 8: and so for a lot of people it's the answer
Speaker 8: to kind of turning retirement worries on their head, you know,
Speaker 8: instead of being concerned that you don't have enough to
Speaker 8: tyron and will your nest egg tear you through or
Speaker 8: you're gonna end up working part time at wawmarts or
Speaker 8: driving an uber or something. In retirement, there are lots
Speaker 8: of places where you can go on a modest you know,
Speaker 8: monthly nest egg, say fifteen hundred dollars a month in
Speaker 8: retirement income or in some cases even less, you can
Speaker 8: live not just a getting buy Okay, I'm meeting my
Speaker 8: expensive kind of retirement, but a really interesting, fun, adventure
Speaker 8: filled retirement.
Speaker 2: All right. So, I guess question number one is where
Speaker 2: in the world where do I go? Generally? Is it
Speaker 2: South America.
Speaker 8: Most For the most part, You're right, Americans focus on
Speaker 8: Latin America, Central America, South America, the Caribbean because First,
Speaker 8: it's nearby. It's unless you go way down south to
Speaker 8: Argentina and or Uruguay for example. It's accessible, so you
Speaker 8: can get back and forth, and you don't have to
Speaker 8: be one hundred percent removed from your family and friends
Speaker 8: back home. They can visit you, you can go back
Speaker 8: home to visit them. Plus, this part of the world
Speaker 8: has what most retirees are looking for, which is great.
Speaker 8: There are lots of sunshine and a very low cost
Speaker 8: of living, high low.
Speaker 2: Cost of living. What's the attraction? What are we talking here?
Speaker 8: Well, well, let's say in Ecuador, for example, which is
Speaker 8: a top choice from a lot of Americans have retired
Speaker 8: to the city, the colonial city of Quanka, Ecuador in
Speaker 8: the mountains, and this would be one of the most
Speaker 8: affordable options right now. And you could live in Quanka, Ecuador.
Speaker 8: I know American retireties doing it and really enjoying, loving
Speaker 8: their lives on one thousand to twelve hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 8: So that's a pretty modest budget. If you have more
Speaker 8: than that, then your lifestyle can just expand from there,
Speaker 8: you know, with more travel, more nights out, more dinners out,
Speaker 8: that kind of thing. But to enjoy even a really
Speaker 8: good life and a safe, comfortable life on as little
Speaker 8: as one thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 2: That's incredible. So twelve thousand dollars a year, I could
Speaker 2: live like a king down there.
Speaker 8: That's It's true. It sounds like marketing type, I know
Speaker 8: when you just say it out like that, but I
Speaker 8: know so many people doing it.
Speaker 2: All right, what about medical? What about that? You go, okay,
Speaker 2: well that's great. Well, I'm gonna get old, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: get sick. I need care.
Speaker 8: What happens then, and that's of course a big concern.
Speaker 8: The first point to make is the United States. Healthcare
Speaker 8: and health insurance is more expensive in the United States
Speaker 8: than anywhere else in the world. So everywhere else you go,
Speaker 8: it's going to be more affordable to seek the care
Speaker 8: you need. Then your question is, okay, but what standard
Speaker 8: of care? Well, the truth is the healthcare in many
Speaker 8: other countries is better than in the United States, and
Speaker 8: in most of the world it's as good.
Speaker 6: As it is in the United States.
Speaker 8: Certainly the places that we're talking about and suggesting so,
Speaker 8: and certainly in a city, so in Quinca, Ecuador, here
Speaker 8: in Panama City, Panama, where I'm based right now. In
Speaker 8: let me see Medicie in Columbia, which is another really
Speaker 8: interesting choice. And in the medician for example, has the
Speaker 8: best from the best medical care in all of South America.
Speaker 8: If you then look farther afield to Europe, well for sure,
Speaker 8: the medical care as a rule is going to be
Speaker 8: better than in the United States, and it's going to
Speaker 8: be much more for And there is an opportunity. This
Speaker 8: doesn't work for everyone, but there is an opportunity in
Speaker 8: for example, Portugal, which is a great place to live,
Speaker 8: a beautiful, interesting, historic country with a lot of foreign
Speaker 8: residents and retirees, meaning a lot of English spoken, beautiful beaches, golf,
Speaker 8: everything the retire he wants, including great weather, very low
Speaker 8: cost of living, and if you establish residency there, which
Speaker 8: is not hard to do, healthcare.
Speaker 6: Is free.
Speaker 8: Free, it's free.
Speaker 2: Well, what kind of taxes am I paying on that?
Speaker 7: None?
Speaker 8: If most countries don't tax retirement income, you'll have the
Speaker 8: same tax obligation in the United States that you would
Speaker 8: if you were living in the United States. And American
Speaker 8: has his US tax obligation. No matter where he goes
Speaker 8: in the world or how long he stays outside the
Speaker 8: United States, he never loses that, but you don't necessarily
Speaker 8: acquire a second tax obligation in the new country where
Speaker 8: you go. It's a country by country thing, but most
Speaker 8: countries don't tax retireant income.
Speaker 2: Kathleen again on this year, blowing my mind, Kathleen Petticoor,
Speaker 2: how to retire overseas. Everything you need to know to
Speaker 2: live well, So all right, let me let me get
Speaker 2: this straight. The weather's a lot better. I can live
Speaker 2: comfortable like a king. I can live like Bill Cunningham
Speaker 2: for one thousand dollars a month. I could have servants.
Speaker 2: I could have women naked women feeding me grapes. I
Speaker 2: could have my own beef, cow milk. I could have
Speaker 2: my own bar inside all that stuff. The safety thing,
Speaker 2: well we'll get to that in a second. Maybe maybe
Speaker 2: that's there. There's no taxes, the healthcare is better and cheaper.
Speaker 2: What the hell am I doing in the United States?
Speaker 8: Well, when you look at it, that can be the
Speaker 8: conclusion why not do this? The only real downside, and
Speaker 8: it's a downside, is that you are leaving behind everything
Speaker 8: you've known to this point in your life. And for
Speaker 8: some people that's crazy, scary, and maybe paralyzing. So you're
Speaker 8: leaving your family, your whole personal infrastructure of support, your
Speaker 8: whole community, all your friends, all your connections. So that's
Speaker 8: a big deal and you don't want to overlook that.
Speaker 8: And then of course there's going to be culture shock
Speaker 8: on the other end that you know, the life will
Speaker 8: be different and always big and small. For some people's
Speaker 8: that's exciting, that's an adventure. They think, oh wow, this
Speaker 8: is going to be so much fun. I'm going to
Speaker 8: learn how people live in the outdoor of Portugal. And
Speaker 8: I spent a lot of time there. I can tell
Speaker 8: you it's a really nice place to live. Other people think,
Speaker 8: oh my gosh, they don't speak English. I won't know anyone.
Speaker 8: Everything will be different. No, that's not for me, and
Speaker 8: fair enough, you know it isn't for everyone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know anybody I like hand my small
Speaker 2: circle of friends. What about the language barrier, Kathleen.
Speaker 8: That's that is something you have to think about. And
Speaker 8: if that really intimidates you, if you really think I'm
Speaker 8: at this stage of life, I'm not learning any language, Well,
Speaker 8: there are choices options where they speak English. Believes, for example,
Speaker 8: is an English speaking country, and Believe is a great choice.
Speaker 8: You know, it's it's Caribbean beaches. It's got a big
Speaker 8: xpac community, and everybody speaks English, Belize, and it's got
Speaker 8: the same advantages like all right, So the big question
Speaker 8: is about safety.
Speaker 2: If I'm in American I can live in a thousand
Speaker 2: dollars a month. I go there, I'm a target now right,
Speaker 2: I'm going to get it kidnapped. I'm going to get
Speaker 2: held in some sort of sell for billions of dollars.
Speaker 2: I'm never going to see the light of day in
Speaker 2: my family, and I'm going to die in some foreign
Speaker 2: hell hole because Kathleen told me to go.
Speaker 3: Because I sent you there a card, is your fault send.
Speaker 8: Me the ransom note? But no, I know the safety
Speaker 8: is an issue. I don't mean to make light of
Speaker 8: it and be too cavalier. But what you just described
Speaker 8: is not the reality in anywhere in the world right now,
Speaker 8: except certain countries where war is there's active war and conflict,
Speaker 8: and they're not on the list, of course. But in
Speaker 8: all the places that we're talking about, you're not a target.
Speaker 8: In Panama, for example, where I've lived for the past
Speaker 8: ten years, Americans are such a welcome and so welcome
Speaker 8: and part of the landscape because of the Panama Canal.
Speaker 8: Here for the past hundred years, Americans have been so
Speaker 8: much a part of this country. It's economy, it's culture.
Speaker 8: There are so many Americans here and they have been
Speaker 8: for generations. Were just part of the scene. Now Panama
Speaker 8: is a is a unique situation because of this, you know,
Speaker 8: century long connection due to the canal. But in many
Speaker 8: countries as well, there are established expat communities and you're
Speaker 8: not again, you're not a target. You're a lot of
Speaker 8: it is on the extat, on the retiree. You have
Speaker 8: to make an effort to make friends, just as you
Speaker 8: would if you in retirement, moved from the Midwest to Florida,
Speaker 8: say to a kind of traditional retirement location in the
Speaker 8: United States, and you've never spent any time in Naples, Florida,
Speaker 8: and there you decide, you decide to retire into Naples, Florida.
Speaker 8: You don't know anyone.
Speaker 2: Oh, if I got a hoard eleven Naples, I could
Speaker 2: buy Belize good night exactly.
Speaker 8: But you know, but if you move to Naples, you're
Speaker 8: going to have to make an effort to make new friends,
Speaker 8: right or you're going to be lonely and sit in
Speaker 8: your apartment all day. It will be the same in
Speaker 8: another country. The only difference, and it's a big difference,
Speaker 8: is the language. But it's depending how much that frightened
Speaker 8: you to the place where there are already lots of
Speaker 8: Americans living. And I could name six of these places,
Speaker 8: you know, quickly one would be believed. One would be
Speaker 8: Panama City, Medagine. Colombia has a lot of Americans right now.
Speaker 8: Clank Ecuador. We talked about go to places in Mexico,
Speaker 8: a heat for example, big American community there. Retirees then
Speaker 8: you and they're so welcoming because you know, once you've
Speaker 8: done something like this, you're so excited about it and
Speaker 8: you realize this is so fun and you build confidence
Speaker 8: and you want to share that with the next guy
Speaker 8: in line.
Speaker 5: You have.
Speaker 8: The guy behind you in line coming along is.
Speaker 2: Medi you said, Medizine. Colombia's Medizine, the same Medizine, Mediine.
Speaker 2: We're talking Pablo Escobar.
Speaker 8: We are, that's the same place. And remember Pablo Escobar,
Speaker 8: of course is dead more than twenty five years ago.
Speaker 8: That the city has that history, but that is its history,
Speaker 8: and the city today has reinvented itself. It's winning all
Speaker 8: kinds of City Innovation Awards and one of the most
Speaker 8: progressive and been really frankly pretty and pleasant and safe
Speaker 8: cities in the world today, and it's winning lots of
Speaker 8: awards for that because Energy in Columbia is one of
Speaker 8: the world's greatest comeback stories of the past twenty years.
Speaker 2: I like the Pittsburgh of Colombia is well. Thanks for
Speaker 2: tolerating me, Kathleen Petticord, and good luck with everything. Thanks
Speaker 2: again for joining the show. As always, be well, Hi,
Speaker 2: she gone. If you are older and you're like, I
Speaker 2: got this pile of money, I don't know if I
Speaker 2: can retire, Maybe I move abroad it and save some money.
Speaker 6: You can.
Speaker 2: I mean there's places, as she mentioned, you can live
Speaker 2: very cheaply. I think that's different than certainly than young people,
Speaker 2: especially young women four to ten women age fifteen to
Speaker 2: forty four said they'd move abroad permanently if given the opportunity.
Speaker 2: That's about four times higher than it was in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 2: And the top of my head reasons why I think
Speaker 2: number one would be a political dissatisfaction because most women
Speaker 2: that age and that age group, they lean democratic, and
Speaker 2: young men are less left leaning, and so with the
Speaker 2: political climate we live in that makes it appealing, which
Speaker 2: I think is also kind of short sighted. I mean,
Speaker 2: it makes for since you're eighteen, because you tend to
Speaker 2: make decisions quickly and rashly. But by the time in
Speaker 2: your thirties or forties, you're a little bit more thoughtful
Speaker 2: about things and just simply going I can't stand it
Speaker 2: any more and be leaving. Well, it might change in
Speaker 2: three years. You know, it could go back. Then what
Speaker 2: do you move? Wind up moving back? It's gonna cost
Speaker 2: you a lot of time and money.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 2: I think there's a lack of confidence and institutions. Certainly
Speaker 2: we've seen the erosion of that as well. Reproductive rights
Speaker 2: are concerned for women, although I mean here in Ohio,
Speaker 2: look at the battle we're having with that. Despite what
Speaker 2: the voters wanted, seems like the legislator still wants to
Speaker 2: do their own thing. And also, let's face it, women
Speaker 2: And here's an interesting part about it, and this is
Speaker 2: the rub two men and women, is that women are
Speaker 2: so upwardly mobile. Now you can be put under your
Speaker 2: money's portable, it's not tied to anything. You can work
Speaker 2: abroad if you want to do your job from abroad,
Speaker 2: and as women continue to have broken through the glass ceiling,
Speaker 2: they continue to make more money than their predecessors, and
Speaker 2: they can decide to do what they want with their
Speaker 2: own money, and even being young and married, it doesn't Hey,
Speaker 2: I don't think they see marriage as a burieder relocation.
Speaker 2: Where this is we're going to do. And there's a
Speaker 2: growing number of young men who are staying home, and
Speaker 2: young men see more disaffected and probably less likely to
Speaker 2: move away simply because they don't have the same opportunity
Speaker 2: and means that women do. Believe it or not, when
Speaker 2: you talk about college education, predominatly women now are going
Speaker 2: to school. Young men are being left behind. And maybe
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the future of our country.
Speaker 2: Probably not, but I think it's an interesting snapshot and
Speaker 2: where we are today in America that so many young
Speaker 2: women want out. But that will change in a few
Speaker 2: years as well. It always does, it always does. Got
Speaker 2: to get a news update in in a few minutes
Speaker 2: here on seven hundred WLW Winter Return Austin. This year
Speaker 2: we got what's the biggest sports news this week and
Speaker 2: biggest sports story of the weekend. For a minute, I
Speaker 2: thought it surely would be the sane ex elder game
Speaker 2: at pay Court tonight with all this rain, Hopefully you
Speaker 2: bring a I'd bring a garbage bag with me as
Speaker 2: a poncho if I were you for going on this.
Speaker 2: But now with the news it looks like Joe Burrow
Speaker 2: may wind up playing and going on Sunday. That seems
Speaker 2: has the vaulted to the top. I don't know to
Speaker 2: expect this. I don't know if I expect to win
Speaker 2: out of it. It's certainly interesting and also testament to
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow's tenacity coming back from an injury like this.
Speaker 2: You hope he doesn't get reinjured. With the way the
Speaker 2: Bengals may protect him, but specifically the defense, it seems
Speaker 2: like a feudal cause. But nonetheless we'll find out what happens.
Speaker 2: Patriots coming to town on Sunday. You also have I
Speaker 2: think this is a big one too, is at TQL Stadium.
Speaker 2: You've got FC Cincinnati against Inter Miami and Legal MESSI
Speaker 2: and UH winner takes all. It's a one game playoff
Speaker 2: between those two clubs and the match at TQL Stadium.
Speaker 2: It's going to be loud in Rock get a TQL
Speaker 2: for sure, and they've kind of. I don't say had
Speaker 2: their way with Messy because in the past, you know,
Speaker 2: there's been issues with that team, and I just think,
Speaker 2: you know, from those they talked to them, certainly a
Speaker 2: growing soccer expert, but not even close. It just seems
Speaker 2: like Cincinnati's deeper. But again, can they advance to the
Speaker 2: next round of the playoffs? They got the Columbus monkey
Speaker 2: off their back, so to speak. Can they beat Little
Speaker 2: Messi's team and Inner Miami And there's a lot of
Speaker 2: pressure on Inn Miami too. I don't know if that
Speaker 2: helps them being on the road or not. But with
Speaker 2: all the talent that they have, they can't seem to
Speaker 2: win a championship. So we'll see if hopefully FC can
Speaker 2: advance there. You've got what Fox pregame college football noon
Speaker 2: tomorrow at Knippert Stadium in advance of UC BYU. Hopefully
Speaker 2: UC can stop the bleeding and get a win. They
Speaker 2: need to. They need to win out at this point
Speaker 2: they got because at this way it's going to be
Speaker 2: the I think it's gonna be Elbow Macaroni Bowl if
Speaker 2: they lose out here. Not to disparage Elbow Macaroniy. Who
Speaker 2: the hell isn't a fan. But you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: we got that, we got the UC Louisville games overshadowed
Speaker 2: with all this stuff too. Just bad timing on that one,
Speaker 2: I think at the Heritage Bank Center. But plenty of tickets,
Speaker 2: plenty of good seats still available, as they say, got
Speaker 2: to get a news update in and more to follow
Speaker 2: Scott's loan on the home of the best Bengals coverage
Speaker 2: and the home of the Bearcats. Austin Elmer to talk
Speaker 2: about all that and more right after news on seven
Speaker 2: hundred wol thebody Scott's loanship Friday morning, ten thirty eight.
Speaker 2: That means Austin Elmore is here. From ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 2: My god, we've got a little Thanksgiving schmorgasbord of sports
Speaker 2: to get through this morning. No small tastic through Audi.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning Flani, thanks for having me. Austin
Speaker 2: Elmore of course, from ESPN fifteenth thirty embedded right now
Speaker 2: in the bowels of pay Course Stadium, awaiting the word
Speaker 2: to find out if it's white smoke Burrow plays, if
Speaker 2: it's black smoke Flacco plays. We're waiting for that to
Speaker 2: occur right now. Speaking of things that are Catholic Saint
Speaker 2: X tonight and Elder at pay Court Stadium. Are you ready?
Speaker 2: Are you excited? Are you fired up?
Speaker 4: I am fired up about it.
Speaker 3: You know, I've got family coming down from Sydney, Ohio
Speaker 3: to watch this game tonight at paid Course Stadium, just
Speaker 3: because they're so excited to check out some high level
Speaker 3: high school football inside.
Speaker 4: An NFL stadium. What did I see?
Speaker 3: Almost eighteen thousand tickets now sold, and even with the
Speaker 3: weather forecast being what it is, I think that says
Speaker 3: a lot about what the high school football and those
Speaker 3: two teams especially mean to this city.
Speaker 2: Now you're playing for Holy Marvels. Is such a great
Speaker 2: rivalry to West side rivalry, and it's going to draw
Speaker 2: a lot of eyeballs that aren't actually have any relationship
Speaker 2: to the school whatsoever because it will be high quality football.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, It's gonna be fun to watch. And obviously
Speaker 3: how the weather affects you know that the game plans.
Speaker 3: But the history between the two teams and the ability
Speaker 3: to run the ball especially I think is going to
Speaker 3: be an interesting part of the matchup tonight.
Speaker 2: I had a lotmaker on Adam Matthews eleven and that's
Speaker 2: his district high representative, and he's trying to get legislation
Speaker 2: through that would make it easier for publicly owned stadium
Speaker 2: like paid Course Stadium, Great American Ballpark, TQ Man. Maybe
Speaker 2: not TQL, but those two host high school events. Tennis
Speaker 2: Center and Mason for example. You could see that. I mean,
Speaker 2: if this does really well. It looks like it's going
Speaker 2: to do really well even with the weather tonight. Maybe
Speaker 2: not every big rivalry, but that would be kind of cool.
Speaker 2: Is like the Fridays that the Bengals aren't playing, You know,
Speaker 2: you could have a high school football game there and
Speaker 2: make it like a man I wouldn't be necessarily a
Speaker 2: game of the week, or maybe you could. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think there's also some sponsors that
Speaker 3: would love to step up and be a part of that.
Speaker 3: And obviously, as long as people are making money, it's
Speaker 3: all mostly anybody cares about. But yeah, I mean, it's
Speaker 3: a shame that we have to start putting legislation through
Speaker 3: to make something like that happen. I think it's also
Speaker 3: ridiculous that the NCAA has a rule that says the
Speaker 3: University of Cincinnati gets an unfair advantage by having that
Speaker 3: game on their campus at Nippert Stadium, Like, I don't
Speaker 3: understand that at all. I think Knippert would have been
Speaker 3: the perfect venue a game like this. But you know,
Speaker 3: either way, as long as you know some sort of
Speaker 3: attention is being brought to this and we're able to
Speaker 3: do something about it, I think it can only be
Speaker 3: a good thing for the area, for high school spoots.
Speaker 2: All of it kind of hard though, I mean, Friday
Speaker 2: night football high school. Then you've got of course, you
Speaker 2: see BYU Fox mcnds Intown. It's a big thing. The
Speaker 2: camp is going to be crowded down there, so I
Speaker 2: guess that's probably the timing. This was bad, But there's
Speaker 2: a UC team right there. I mean I talked Dan
Speaker 2: about this earlier. I can't believe they lost Arizona and
Speaker 2: now you come in limping, losing two and in real
Speaker 2: danger of making it three straight losses. Not the way
Speaker 2: Scott Sarafield wants to wrap up the back half of
Speaker 2: the season.
Speaker 4: No, not at all.
Speaker 3: It's been unfortunate, especially the way that Brendan Soresby has played.
Speaker 3: It's kind of been two years in a row now
Speaker 3: where he's kind of unraveled toward the end of the
Speaker 3: season and not at all looked like the guy that
Speaker 3: we saw in the early part of the season. Now,
Speaker 3: part of that could be the competition that they're facing,
Speaker 3: part of it could be is a little bit banged
Speaker 3: up as the season goes along. Part of it could
Speaker 3: be that Scott Saderfield and his offense aren't doing a
Speaker 3: good enough job adjusting to what some of those teams
Speaker 3: are doing. But either way, it's a nasty concoction that
Speaker 3: has led to failure for the Bearcats over the last
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. And you know they're going to be
Speaker 3: Bowl eligible, But I don't know that anybody in Clifton
Speaker 3: would sit there and tell you that that's good enough,
Speaker 3: especially considering the way that they started the season, with
Speaker 3: the returning players that they have, the work they did
Speaker 3: in the portal, and the fact that just a couple
Speaker 3: of weeks ago, a legitimate path to the Big Twelve
Speaker 3: Championship was in sight and now it's not really within play.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's possible, but it's unlikely, and I think
Speaker 3: that should.
Speaker 4: Leave a bad taste in the mouth of a lot
Speaker 4: of Bearcats fans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, I mean, at this rate, you know
Speaker 2: you're hoping for a big twelve championship game and probably
Speaker 2: you know, we lose the BYU. Who knows what happens
Speaker 2: the last game this season. You're probably looking at the
Speaker 2: don't know what, the cremet Elbow Macaroni Bowl or something
Speaker 2: like that. Who the hell knows. You also have a
Speaker 2: way I forgot to mention. The big game this weekend,
Speaker 2: of course, is UCE in Louisville at Heritage Bank Center.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's happening tonight as well.
Speaker 2: That pauses sound like one of the when the coaches
Speaker 2: are going, yeah we do. It's gonna look like a
Speaker 2: COVID game tonight, did it?
Speaker 3: I have no idea what to expect at that game tonight,
Speaker 3: but uh yeah, I mean it is.
Speaker 4: It is cool.
Speaker 3: I mean I don't know that I don't know that
Speaker 3: it's the best venue for that, and I know Wes
Speaker 3: Miller has made his thoughts known about that. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: Pat Kelsey feels the exact opposite because he was a
Speaker 3: West Sider who grew up going to you know, back
Speaker 3: then Riverfront Coliseum and that means a lot to him.
Speaker 3: So it's, you know, another one of those weird things
Speaker 3: that happens in college basketball. And I think when they
Speaker 3: when the Bearcats make the return trip to Louislle, they're
Speaker 3: gonna be playing at Freedom Hall.
Speaker 4: Which is kind of their version. So okay, it's.
Speaker 2: Whatever number six school in Townson. But again it just
Speaker 2: adds to what is a huge sports weekend. You got
Speaker 2: to speak on West Side alders Nex, you got this
Speaker 2: and b YU and you see at Nippert's Cougars nine
Speaker 2: to one, and it's a tall ass for UC. Let's
Speaker 2: put it that way before we get to the main
Speaker 2: event the entre, which is Bengals football. I will also
Speaker 2: throw in there that this is a do or die
Speaker 2: game for FC Cincinnati face a Lenal Messi Inner Miami
Speaker 2: the NFL Playoffs, MLS Playoffs, I should say on Sunday
Speaker 2: at five, you lose, you are out. At this point,
Speaker 2: I kind of like that format.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean in the first round when you go
Speaker 3: best of three and then you get into the second
Speaker 3: round and it really is for all the marbles. They
Speaker 3: didn't get that extra week of rest with some of
Speaker 3: the international stuff going on, But yeah, I mean f
Speaker 3: C Cincinnati has had a lot of success against Leonel
Speaker 3: Messi and against Enter Miami over the last couple of years,
Speaker 3: and so I think you come into this match with
Speaker 3: a lot of confidence. Number One, you kind of got
Speaker 3: the monkey off your back by beating Columbus and you
Speaker 3: don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 7: And you go into a team that, yeah, they have
Speaker 7: Messi and they.
Speaker 4: Have all these stars, and that's great. They're still a
Speaker 4: really good team. But that's a team that.
Speaker 3: You've had success against, you feel confident against, and it's
Speaker 3: not like you're facing some big, bad wolf again. So
Speaker 3: I think, you know, Pat Noonan is one of the
Speaker 3: best coaches in Major League Soccer, and the way that
Speaker 3: he's able to adjust his team depending on who he
Speaker 3: has available, who the opponent is the situation. I think
Speaker 3: he has such a great feel for those matches and
Speaker 3: that's a huge reason why they've been so successful. And
Speaker 3: I think, you know, when they play at home, they're
Speaker 3: a tough team to beat. I hope that's the case
Speaker 3: again on Sunday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think since he's a deeper team overall, younger team,
Speaker 2: you know, Messi and some other guys that team are
Speaker 2: a little but but then again, it's the pressure, right
Speaker 2: there is the pressure in an expectation to beat them,
Speaker 2: greater for Cincinnati than it is for Inner Miami, who
Speaker 2: tends to make mistakes when they get bear back against
Speaker 2: the wall. Who's who's the pressure on more them or us?
Speaker 4: I think it would be on them.
Speaker 7: I mean, they've spent hundreds and hundreds and hundreds.
Speaker 3: Of millions of dollars to get Messy and surrounding with
Speaker 3: all these great players, and they've changed coaches and you know,
Speaker 3: whether they're good or they are the face of Major
Speaker 3: League Soccer, yes, And you know, Messi has accomplished basically
Speaker 3: all there is to accomplish in the world of soccer.
Speaker 3: But I think it would still behoove him, just for
Speaker 3: his legacy and for all the hoop around his career.
Speaker 3: If he were to come to Major League Soccer and
Speaker 3: never be able to win an MLS Cup, that would
Speaker 3: be something that would be a bit disappointing for him.
Speaker 3: And and they're fans especially who follow him, so I'm
Speaker 3: sure they feel some pressure.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 3: I mean, they're not posting this game. They're going up
Speaker 3: against the team that they haven't had success against very
Speaker 3: much over the year, so I'm sure they feel a
Speaker 3: little bit of pressure. It's like, gosh, we've got this
Speaker 3: all star lineup of great players with the greatest player
Speaker 3: who's ever played the game of soccer, and we can't
Speaker 3: get to the MLS Eastern Conference Finals, we can't get
Speaker 3: to MLS Cup. I think that's got to be in
Speaker 3: the back of their mind as well.
Speaker 2: Great way in Sunday, and of course before that will
Speaker 2: be the big sports story this weekend, and that is
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow. Will he play or not play? By the way,
Speaker 2: I believe it's fan duel. The playf RUMs now have
Speaker 2: betting odds up involving Joe Burrow in his passing, so
Speaker 2: that they're already saying it sounds like that Vegas believes
Speaker 2: that Joe Burrow is going to be a go on Sunday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been weird kind of seeing the way that
Speaker 3: a lot of these national NFL insiders have talked about it,
Speaker 3: the chipperness and the voice of Zach Taylor when he
Speaker 3: was talking to Tom Brenhaman yesterday. I saw there's fantasy
Speaker 3: projections that have come out for Joe Burrow. It just
Speaker 3: all seems to point in the direction that he is
Speaker 3: going to play on Sunday. I'm going to play Devil's
Speaker 3: advocate for you. Here though, because they play in less
Speaker 3: than a week again against the Baltimore Ravens. And in
Speaker 3: those short weeks and that Thursday night, Thanksgiving Night game
Speaker 3: in Baltimore, that practice week is really weird because you're
Speaker 3: usually off on Monday, and then you got Tuesday, you're
Speaker 3: traveling on Wednesday. You don't get a normal full week
Speaker 3: of practice, right, And so the next step in Burrow's
Speaker 3: progression was this week to do a lets on elevens
Speaker 3: and see how he feels. This week could be being
Speaker 3: used as a way to get him ready for that
Speaker 3: Baltimore game, since he won't have a normal week of
Speaker 3: practice against Baltimore. Now, the goal has always been Thanksgiving
Speaker 3: or Thanksgiving Ish, and I'm not trying to pour cold
Speaker 3: water on this. I want Burrow to play on Sunday,
Speaker 3: and I hope he does, and I hope he plays well.
Speaker 3: But it could also be a way of saying, all right, listen,
Speaker 3: we've got a trunk created week. Next week, we won't
Speaker 3: have a normal practice. Let's use this week to get
Speaker 3: Joe all the way up to speed prior to that
Speaker 3: Baltimore game. Now, if Flacco's shoulder is so banged up
Speaker 3: that he doesn't really feel like he can, you know,
Speaker 3: operate the offense the way that they need him to.
Speaker 3: And again, if you go back to that Pittsburgh game,
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco hurt the Bengals. He did not play well,
Speaker 3: was not accurate, and did not have confidence in that shoulder.
Speaker 3: And so the answer could be is is Joe Burrow
Speaker 3: at eighty five percent better than Joe Flacco at seventy
Speaker 3: five percent?
Speaker 4: I think the answer to that is yes.
Speaker 3: And the other thing, you know, you talked about smoke
Speaker 3: coming out of pay or stadium, black smoke or white smoke.
Speaker 3: Thank god there's no orange smoke for Jake Browning because
Speaker 3: it doesn't seem like that's an option, and that would
Speaker 3: be a real.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, even like a seventy p fifty percent Joe
Speaker 2: Burrow is still a better than one hundred percent Jake Browning.
Speaker 2: And so you look at it going, well, we're kind
Speaker 2: of options at this point. We've got to have somebody
Speaker 2: that's gonna at least post a reasonable chance of winning.
Speaker 2: But it feels like the season's over at the sport
Speaker 2: is specially that lost last week against the Steelers, which
Speaker 2: would like the other question is do you risk Joe
Speaker 2: Burrow coming back at this point, do you say, I
Speaker 2: know we want to get reps and I understand that,
Speaker 2: but my god, if something happens again just based on
Speaker 2: how this team is played and stood in front of
Speaker 2: him or lacked the rab at times, you're now risking
Speaker 2: the entire offseason here when you and and you're let's
Speaker 2: face it, you're going to have to start rebuilding and
Speaker 2: get some parts back in here. Joe Burr is going
Speaker 2: to be built big part of that. As always.
Speaker 3: If if there were three games left, I would agree
Speaker 3: with that sentiment, but there's not. There's seven games left.
Speaker 3: We're still in the month of November. The guys is
Speaker 3: being paid fifty five million dollars. You can't live your
Speaker 3: life and live your fo ball life out of fear.
Speaker 3: And I know that there's a belief that he's injury prone,
Speaker 3: and there's a long list of injuries that would suggest
Speaker 3: that he is, But that doesn't mean that he just
Speaker 3: skips the last seven games of the season. If he's
Speaker 3: medically cleared and he feels comfortable doing so. He's the
Speaker 3: best player on the team, he's the face of the franchise.
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't he play and technically they are still alive.
Speaker 3: Even though they're their chance of making the playoffs is
Speaker 3: is minuscule. And the other part of this too is
Speaker 3: if he doesn't play, Let's say he doesn't play the
Speaker 3: last seven games, then he goes from September, second week
Speaker 3: of September all the way to July without playing football.
Speaker 3: I feel like he needs the reps he needs to
Speaker 3: be able to play. Joe has always talked about how
Speaker 3: much he needs reps and how important that is to
Speaker 3: him being a consistent football player, and so I do
Speaker 3: think that's part of it as well, is you want
Speaker 3: your best players to play football.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: The other factor here too is, you know, maybe this
Speaker 2: back to your your your salmon streaming up swim argument
Speaker 2: that they shouldn't play Burrow this week and let him
Speaker 2: have a full week practice before the Thanksgiving game at Baltimore,
Speaker 2: is the fact that Jamar Chase will not be playing
Speaker 2: in this game gives him a less option. I don't
Speaker 2: feel that somehow andre Yoshavas is going to find the
Speaker 2: ball right, So that gives it's going to take a
Speaker 2: little more time for him to find someone open. It
Speaker 2: exposes them a little bit more with that foot less
Speaker 2: tools than the toolbox for Joe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that also could be part of the reason
Speaker 3: why he is going to play against the New England
Speaker 3: Patriots is because well, they don't have Jamar Chase. And
Speaker 3: if you look at the last couple of weeks, I mean,
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco has has not tried to hide the fact
Speaker 3: that he is trying to throw the ball to Jamar Chase.
Speaker 3: He's just been spamming it to number one over and
Speaker 3: over and over again. And I wonder if there is
Speaker 3: a concern about the idea that Flacco could operate the
Speaker 3: offense without Jamar Chase. We know that Joe Burrow can,
Speaker 3: We've seen it, and it does give them a better
Speaker 3: chance to win obviously if Joe is out there, and
Speaker 3: especially if you know, without Jamar Chase, you like the
Speaker 3: odds of bur being able to operate that offense in
Speaker 3: the absence of Jamar Cha.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, team is gonna see but you've got
Speaker 2: you know, Gasecki's gonna maybe we do get Kaseki back
Speaker 2: this week. That's big.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's a big part of it.
Speaker 3: Mike Kasicki being in there and kind of being an
Speaker 3: extension that wide receiver group We've seen some flashes from
Speaker 3: Mitch Tinsley had the great touchdown in Week two and
Speaker 3: was unbelievable in the preseason. He's going to get a chance.
Speaker 3: Charlie Jones, I would like to see get a chance.
Speaker 3: A fourth round pick from a couple of years ago,
Speaker 3: had a really strong camp and just kind of gets
Speaker 3: buried in the depth chart.
Speaker 4: But yeah, you're gonna get some opportunities for some guys.
Speaker 4: And that's part of the season.
Speaker 3: As part of the story of the season is evaluating
Speaker 3: what you have and these young players as you try
Speaker 3: to figure out what your playing is going to be
Speaker 3: moving forward, you want to see them be able to
Speaker 3: play with Joe Burrow. So you know, Burrow has a
Speaker 3: lot more reps logged with all those guys than Joe
Speaker 3: Flacco does, and I think that's part of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Austin Olmo from ESPN fifteen thirty on the Scott
Speaker 2: Sluncheons Springy every Friday morning, we talk sports. There is
Speaker 2: a lot going on, including the Bengals of course, or
Speaker 2: I don't know whether or not Joe Burrow is going
Speaker 2: to play on Sunday. We'll find out sometime tomorrow. I
Speaker 2: would suppose Will have an indication if that looks like
Speaker 2: it's a go or not. You've got a red hot
Speaker 2: Patriots team in there. No one really saw this coming
Speaker 2: in the offseason, that they're going to be at nine
Speaker 2: to two. I mean, it's an unreal As well as
Speaker 2: they're playing on offense, it's also fair to say their
Speaker 2: defense is outstanding, best run defense in football. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be a long day for Chase Brown.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that I find interesting too, is like if
Speaker 3: Burrow does play, you would assume the Bengals will want
Speaker 3: to run the football and you not put too much
Speaker 3: on his plate, not drop him back a lot. Well,
Speaker 3: New England just completely takes away the run game. I mean,
Speaker 3: one of the best. You've mentioned, the best run defense
Speaker 3: in the National Football League, and they've got a good
Speaker 3: team and they're especially stout upfront. They find ways to
Speaker 3: thwart that run game. So if the offense is going
Speaker 3: to have to be quick, it's going to have to
Speaker 3: be efficient, and especially if Burrow plays, you don't want
Speaker 3: them holding onto the ball too long and just getting
Speaker 3: a macclimated NFL football again. So yeah, it's the way
Speaker 3: that they use extensions of the run game, whether that's
Speaker 3: through RPOs or screen passes or swinging it outside.
Speaker 4: Or anything like that.
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be important, and I would
Speaker 3: love to see Chase Brown get a little bit more
Speaker 3: involved in the past game. We saw some flashes of
Speaker 3: that last week against the Steelers and he had some
Speaker 3: big plays a big seventeen yard reception at one point.
Speaker 4: We know he can do that.
Speaker 3: I would like to see more of Chase Brown in
Speaker 3: the receiving game, especially, you know, if you're able to
Speaker 3: motion him out against the linebacker. I'm taking Chase Brown
Speaker 3: ninety five percent of the time, and I think that
Speaker 3: can be a quick option to get the ball out,
Speaker 3: whether it's Flacco.
Speaker 2: Or Burrow, Joe Burrow or not. I don't see how
Speaker 2: they they're able to knock off the Patriots. I mean,
Speaker 2: Patriots to do for a loss at nine to two,
Speaker 2: but dang they then you got Christin Gonzalez to contend
Speaker 2: with too on defense, So stop in the run and
Speaker 2: stopping number one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're going to double team t Higgins
Speaker 3: and force the Bengals to beat him with that collection
Speaker 3: of characters that we just.
Speaker 4: Talked about a minute ago, and that's the right way
Speaker 4: to do it.
Speaker 3: I will say this though, over the course of their careers,
Speaker 3: Zach Taylor, for whatever reason, has had the number of
Speaker 3: Mike Rabel.
Speaker 4: You might remember when they.
Speaker 3: Were really bad in twenty twenty and Tennessee was really good.
Speaker 3: They came into pay Course Stadium with a rookie Joe Burrow,
Speaker 3: and the Bengals destroyed him and made easy work of them.
Speaker 3: You also remember the twenty twenty one playoff season when
Speaker 3: the Tennessee Titans were the number one seed and Mike
Speaker 3: Rabel the head coach there then as well, and the
Speaker 3: Bengals went in there to Tennessee and beat them. So
Speaker 3: there has been some history between Zach Taylor and Mike Rabel.
Speaker 3: Hopefully that continues.
Speaker 2: On the side out Austin Elmore and Tony Pike. Today
Speaker 2: at noon, it's a full slate of sports everything. I
Speaker 2: would normally say, hey, what do you got, but you
Speaker 2: got everything. It's literally everything today, high school football, soccer, basketball, football,
Speaker 2: I think there's some lacrosse in there. You got everything
Speaker 2: going on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm off today, so I have no idea what
Speaker 3: Tony's got coming up at noon, but I'm sure it
Speaker 3: will be wonderful.
Speaker 2: Well, I just say there right now he is, by
Speaker 2: the way, embedded in the at pay Course Stadium waiting
Speaker 2: for the white or the black smoke to come up
Speaker 2: related to Joe Burrow will find out. Austin will break
Speaker 2: out when that breaks in here on the home of
Speaker 2: the best Bengals coverage seven hundred WW Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: You want to be an American weekend is here.
Speaker 2: It is a massive sports weekend in Cincinnati. He doesn't
Speaker 2: get any bigger than this. You have, of course, well,
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, play or not play that debate. On Sunday,
Speaker 2: you have UC BYU feeling like for all the marbles
Speaker 2: with the national Fox broadcast in town at Nippert Stadium.
Speaker 2: We're gonna look good there. We've got UC and Inner
Speaker 2: Miami in the next round of the MLS playoffs at
Speaker 2: TQL Stadium, winner take All and tonight's you've got Elder
Speaker 2: Saint X. And it was interesting as a Bengal fan
Speaker 2: watching and watching this develop going well, they want to
Speaker 2: move it to pay Court, which made a lot of sense,
Speaker 2: you know, as a mason, ight to look at that.
Speaker 2: Go okay, it's a few thousand dollars hopefully. The Ohio
Speaker 2: State High School Athletic Association gives them gets a little
Speaker 2: bit of money back for their investment. But yeah, seven
Speaker 2: thousand tickets. The demand is high. I don't know how
Speaker 2: many they've sold at this point. I forgot to check,
Speaker 2: but certainly more than seven thousand, and they're going to
Speaker 2: pay court tonight. Okay, great, awesome. I was surprised how
Speaker 2: quickly this came together. But it picks up a bigger question,
Speaker 2: and that is didn't we, the taxpayers of Hamilton County
Speaker 2: pay for the stage? So why can't we use that
Speaker 2: more often?
Speaker 1: On?
Speaker 2: That is a representative state Rep. Adam Matthews who is
Speaker 2: in control and rules with an iron fist from Lebanon
Speaker 2: to South Lebanon to Mason. Adam Matthews, welcome back. How
Speaker 2: are you, brother?
Speaker 6: Always a pleasure to be here. Thank you so much
Speaker 6: for having me on.
Speaker 2: Thanks again. So let's jump into this. This is interesting
Speaker 2: what this happened. You probably heard about it, and do
Speaker 2: you have any affiliation with Sainte x or Elder You
Speaker 2: got skin in the game there.
Speaker 6: I did. Actually one of my core memories I was
Speaker 6: winning against Cole Raine in the playoffs just like this
Speaker 6: in two thousand and five. We went to overtime and
Speaker 6: Deep Coraine twelve to nine in Paul and then Paul
Speaker 6: Brown Stadium, and it was incredible. Yeah, that was on
Speaker 6: the way to a state championship.
Speaker 2: Let's face it, many of these young men, if some
Speaker 2: may go to play collegiately, for sure, NFL is a
Speaker 2: pipe dream. But then from most of the athletes out there,
Speaker 2: this will be a high point of their athletic career.
Speaker 2: But imagine, I mean, how awesome is that. Getting to
Speaker 2: play on an actual NFL turf has got to be
Speaker 2: and just you know, the locker rooms and everything, the
Speaker 2: whole experience is is going to be something to remember
Speaker 2: the rest of their lives.
Speaker 7: It's incredible and I'm so excited for these young gentlemen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then you got involved legislatively the Bengals, and you
Speaker 2: know it's always in vogue to poke fun at the
Speaker 2: Bengals and question their motives and operations and maybe spendthrift
Speaker 2: ways in some cases. But you gotta also give congratulations
Speaker 2: to it. And it certainly isn't how quickly the franchise
Speaker 2: leaned into hosting this game, and typically the Bengals don't
Speaker 2: do anything quickly. They did this in like less than
Speaker 2: twenty four hours. And also with the county, and so
Speaker 2: credit certainly is due there, But what what do you
Speaker 2: want to do legislatively?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I will echo that.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much to the Bengals and the team.
Speaker 6: Thank you that those in the local county commission that
Speaker 6: made this happen as well. And this should be a
Speaker 6: model of what goes forward if we're going to have
Speaker 6: test payer step off and fund these very large investments
Speaker 6: you have up at the Browns, they had asked for
Speaker 6: one hundreds of millions of dollars, and even here in Mason,
Speaker 6: we've seen something similar of the Cincinnati Open had just
Speaker 6: been used for one week. It became a two week
Speaker 6: tournament and has been doing really well. But it's now
Speaker 6: also back in October host of the girl State Finals,
Speaker 6: and it's now open for more tournaments. It's going to
Speaker 6: be open to the community for a pro shop for
Speaker 6: the court, for the like that, and if.
Speaker 7: We're going to have these huge professional courts of the news.
Speaker 6: There should be a way for that to come at
Speaker 6: functional costs to the community for these types of venues.
Speaker 6: And we're looking at legislation on making sure that that
Speaker 6: can happen and be fair to the owners. You don't
Speaker 6: want to say it's a football situation, and you know
Speaker 6: wild card weekend lines up. Obviously, if somethingles are hosting,
Speaker 6: you can't have a high school game the night before.
Speaker 6: But if it works out that it's.
Speaker 7: Friday night, things are fine.
Speaker 6: You can have a game on Sunday. Wonderful. Let's let's
Speaker 6: have that happen. And we're going to work with the USSAA,
Speaker 6: work with the professional organizations and see what we can do.
Speaker 2: But you also have the contracts that are would this
Speaker 2: I don't know contract law. I'm not an attorney. How
Speaker 2: would that work? If you have a contract that says, hey,
Speaker 2: you can only have so many dates, whatever it might be,
Speaker 2: how does this override that?
Speaker 6: So we are a little making legislation that anything going forward.
Speaker 6: Anytime that they come with a handout asking for hey
Speaker 6: we need taxpayer or subsodies to build a new stadium
Speaker 6: or renovate a new stadium. If you're not using it
Speaker 6: for your professional purpose, there's other types of reasonable uses
Speaker 6: out to the community should be part of that conversation, and.
Speaker 2: It would be at market rate obviously, or whatever that
Speaker 2: looks like. Obviously, the Bengals aren't charging market rate for
Speaker 2: the standard because it's too high school enterprises. They could
Speaker 2: never afford that. So how do these how do you
Speaker 2: do you scale that legislatively?
Speaker 5: Then?
Speaker 6: Right, so we would look and see if there's a
Speaker 6: way to smooth it out over because I'm grateful to
Speaker 6: the Bengals. I think the tickets are fifteen dollars for
Speaker 6: tonight and to cover you know, there's still people working
Speaker 6: the gate, there's still people working confessions. It's more than
Speaker 6: just turning the locks off for the day and letting
Speaker 6: people come in. And so we need to make sure
Speaker 6: that things are balanced. And what we're going to.
Speaker 7: Start as a negotiation place is.
Speaker 6: They get not market rates for the use of the venue,
Speaker 6: but what it would have been had it been at
Speaker 6: Mason High School. And see can it be within twenty
Speaker 6: percent of what it would have been at Mason High School?
Speaker 6: And see if either the state subsidizes on the front
Speaker 6: end or if that's part of the consideration when we
Speaker 6: are deciding whether or not protect their dollars to go
Speaker 6: into the renovation or the expansion.
Speaker 2: Okay, got it. So this is just a professional stadiums,
Speaker 2: not not amateur stadium paid public amateur stadiums like the
Speaker 2: Cleveland Brown stadium.
Speaker 6: Correct, exactly like the Cleveland Brown Stadium.
Speaker 2: Big oh yeah, you don't have to fund the amateur
Speaker 2: teams up in Cleveland. So it's a different thing. And
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think there's a lot of stadium you think, okay,
Speaker 2: well Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, but you know Dayton, Toledo, Youngstown
Speaker 2: they have. I don't know how much public money are
Speaker 2: those facilities, but that's a lot, right.
Speaker 7: There's there's conversations all over there.
Speaker 1: I know of.
Speaker 6: I think right across the border in Butler County they're
Speaker 6: looking at a semi professional or image or minor league
Speaker 6: hockey facility.
Speaker 7: That would be great for the community as well.
Speaker 6: So anything that we can do to build those types
Speaker 6: of Friday night lights or those types of touch points
Speaker 6: for the community to come rather than just the using
Speaker 6: tax pay dollars for stadiums where the cheap seats are
Speaker 6: over one hundred some dollars, seems like, you.
Speaker 2: Know, it'd have to be a big rivalry game. But
Speaker 2: getting with all the leagues in Cincinnati, you sell everything
Speaker 2: else is to line up a marquee game every Friday
Speaker 2: where the Bengals aren't playing and do that, and do
Speaker 2: it on the regular. I think that'd be amazing.
Speaker 6: It would be really neat. And you see both the
Speaker 6: teams playing tonight, youse. The ticket sold out in forty
Speaker 6: two minutes while the kids were still in class. And
Speaker 6: there are two all boys school and each Friday they
Speaker 6: sell out their ten thousand stadium. You knew that this
Speaker 6: was gonna be something big.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I you know, the social opportunity you could
Speaker 2: get at a Friday night passed me. I'll be a
Speaker 2: season ticket holder if you wanted to and see all
Speaker 2: the high school games. I'm sure that would appeal to
Speaker 2: some folks. Yeah, the side of this thing is the
Speaker 2: money factor, because money's always a concerned representative. Adam Matthews.
Speaker 2: You know some of these you may not get twenty
Speaker 2: thousand there like we're going to get tonight. But if
Speaker 2: you got ten thous is that enough to offset the
Speaker 2: costs of keeping the lights on and keeping the stadium open?
Speaker 2: And if not, isn't that back on the taxpairs? Does
Speaker 2: that make sense?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 7: So you'd have to look at that balance to make
Speaker 7: sure that the the money makes sense, because not just
Speaker 7: the lights on, make.
Speaker 6: Sure that the harm of the field, make sure.
Speaker 7: That the workers are there, and it will have to
Speaker 7: make some kind.
Speaker 6: Of balance, which is why we're work on this legislation
Speaker 6: with like say say with the pro stadiums and with
Speaker 6: the professional owners.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's got to be a balance. Theres like you know,
Speaker 2: a couple of Division three schools or schools where you're
Speaker 2: not going to get that much attendance. You know, it
Speaker 2: doesn't make sense to have it at pay Corps or
Speaker 2: something like that just to give kids the experiencing and
Speaker 2: that's a substantial cost to the already overburdened taxpayers of
Speaker 2: Hamilton County. We don't want to go down that road.
Speaker 2: Correct Tonight should.
Speaker 4: Pay for it.
Speaker 2: I would think it should be a ten dollars parking.
Speaker 2: I don't know what tickets are, but ticket sales are
Speaker 2: awesome despite the weather that's going to be extremely bad.
Speaker 2: But I don't think kids care. But I think you know,
Speaker 2: if you're getting to play at pay Corps and your
Speaker 2: kids out there, or you know relative saying I mean
Speaker 2: just a fan of the school. I know a lot
Speaker 2: of elder and ste x grads are going to go
Speaker 2: tonight just because it's pay Corps, Brian Colmbs being one
Speaker 2: of them. So that'd be kind of fun. What's the
Speaker 2: timeline for getting this done.
Speaker 6: We just went to a marathon session till you finish
Speaker 6: out the House voting for twenty twenty five, so we
Speaker 6: will be back with legislation in January February to get
Speaker 6: this really working.
Speaker 2: Okay, good, that's awesome. Yeah, taking some time off after
Speaker 2: I don't know what just the what the hell just
Speaker 2: happened with the CBD thing. I mean I followed closely,
Speaker 2: more closer than anyone, and I still don't understand all
Speaker 2: the imaginations and levers and trip wires and everything else
Speaker 2: that was set up, and why how this thing got
Speaker 2: so sideways in such a short period of time when
Speaker 2: it's coming to when it comes to CBD, SASH, THHC
Speaker 2: and fuse beverages, it seems to me, like I don't
Speaker 2: there's not much differen between THHD and alcohol because you're
Speaker 2: drinking it for an effect. I don't know why we
Speaker 2: have to get rid of one, especially as populaters. Is
Speaker 2: that seems to be really anti business, anti small business
Speaker 2: to me, and also anti choice.
Speaker 6: And part of this the confusion, and you said you're
Speaker 6: afraid that by going sideways all at once was we
Speaker 6: had had through the House, something that would allow your
Speaker 6: five milligrams to milligram drinks, whether it's at Ryan Geist
Speaker 6: or fifty West or elsewhere, to be bought on side
Speaker 6: and take it home.
Speaker 7: And while it goes through the House conversations.
Speaker 6: Over to the Senate. The Senate conversations, the federal government
Speaker 6: made some changes that made a thase out over the
Speaker 6: next year to get rid of these and so what
Speaker 6: we had to do in the Ohio state houses we
Speaker 6: can't go much further than the FED two. And so
Speaker 6: that is what the final product is is matching what
Speaker 6: the federal government.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the FED, the FED forcing your hands on
Speaker 2: that because federal law. But but at the same time,
Speaker 2: I just the there was no impetus for this and
Speaker 2: the you know, the idea of y you're I know,
Speaker 2: you're around them, but like Nancy Pelosi and you know, well,
Speaker 2: we got to pass the bill to see what's in it.
Speaker 2: It's it's more the same. As much as we talk
Speaker 2: as conservatives talk about changing the government, that seems to
Speaker 2: be the same thing that hey, we snuck this in
Speaker 2: here at the last minute. Trump signed it in the law,
Speaker 2: and of wait, what do we do? We just eliminated
Speaker 2: it hit industry. That's literally saving the craft beer people
Speaker 2: in Ohio because fewer people drinking craft beer, more drinking
Speaker 2: the THCH Beverage's clear there's consumer demand for it. I
Speaker 2: don't think the public risk is any greater than alcohol,
Speaker 2: and clearly many Ohioans, Kentucky Indianas want the THC and
Speaker 2: fused beverages the way they are. Do you think there's
Speaker 2: hope in the next year that maybe would come up
Speaker 2: with a better a better way to do this from
Speaker 2: the federal level.
Speaker 7: I think that there needs to be some transparency.
Speaker 6: I know that you as you mentioned, this was part
Speaker 6: of a long late night negotiation on the federal government
Speaker 6: to get it back open after the Democrats were not
Speaker 6: coming to the table in the Senate and the government
Speaker 6: the government needed to turn back on. So yeah, they
Speaker 6: figured in at the last minute. And uh, but as
Speaker 6: things continue, and as you hear from the constituents.
Speaker 7: Like you or like others, I do.
Speaker 6: Think that the federal government is probably going to revisit this.
Speaker 2: I would hope. So they're going to have to final
Speaker 2: point something else. You just got through and I wanted
Speaker 2: to circle back around, and I don't know much about.
Speaker 2: It's called the Patient Protection Act, and this is your legislation.
Speaker 2: It targets high risk medications, and that is drugs defined
Speaker 2: with at least a five percent chance of severe ad
Speaker 2: verse side effects that could lead to death or infection
Speaker 2: or and this has to do with mail order drugs. Well,
Speaker 2: why this what's this? Is this legislation about abortion pills
Speaker 2: basically or no, This medication.
Speaker 6: Is about any type of medication where like you said
Speaker 6: five percent, and we saw the terrible story out of
Speaker 6: Washington State where a college student was getting antidepressive medications telehealth, no,
Speaker 6: no doctor oversight other than their telehealth, so they never
Speaker 6: got checked on. When he complained to the organization that
Speaker 6: was prescribing these drugs, they're like, well, we'll just up
Speaker 6: your dosage. And eventually he died by suicide and now
Speaker 6: there's a wrongful death claim. In all of this, we
Speaker 6: have seen similar things. We just are we're not even
Speaker 6: through picking up the pieces from the opiate epidemic, which
Speaker 6: was similar. We've had other medications and some opponents are
Speaker 6: focusing on abortion pills, and there are some studies along this,
Speaker 6: but any type of medication, we want to have a
Speaker 6: standard of care that if you're playing a board game.
Speaker 7: And you roll the dice, and if you're rolling the
Speaker 7: dice and you roll.
Speaker 6: A three, and that means you're going to have organ failure,
Speaker 6: sepsist or sent to the hospital with timoor jing or infections.
Speaker 6: That's pretty high odds. And this isn't banning any medication.
Speaker 6: It just says, before you get something that is one
Speaker 6: out of twenty sending me to the hospital, you just
Speaker 6: need to see a doctor before and then have a
Speaker 6: doctor check.
Speaker 7: On you afterwards.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I see what you're saying there. But you know,
Speaker 2: the claim though, is what a five percent mortality rate?
Speaker 2: That there aren't any drugs that have a five percent
Speaker 2: mortality right that would that would never get through through trials.
Speaker 7: Uh, there there have been, and sometimes we are.
Speaker 6: We see this afterwards where uh, when you have an
Speaker 6: FDA trial, it.
Speaker 7: Is where you have people taking the medication.
Speaker 6: Clinically according to every single rule versus how people actually
Speaker 6: are using it, right, and then that that difference can
Speaker 6: get to have this type of danger.
Speaker 2: Well you can, I mean, you know, ope, it's a
Speaker 2: great example of that. You can become addicted and and
Speaker 2: we've cracked on that and obviously, But I mean the
Speaker 2: thing if you're talking about this is somehow a product
Speaker 2: liability thing. Oh hi, we already have malpractice laws and
Speaker 2: state boards and FDA oversight and all that stuff, and
Speaker 2: of course litigation as well. Doesn't that balance things out?
Speaker 6: So medic so you have both on the front and
Speaker 6: the backside. Just in medication, you do things that are
Speaker 6: uh that help you and then stick some problem afterwards.
Speaker 6: This is the standard of care to make sure that
Speaker 6: you're getting good care on the front end. Malpractice is
Speaker 6: only after things have already gone bad.
Speaker 7: Okay, So we are making sure that both you have
Speaker 7: a good dinnertive care.
Speaker 6: We are both during the relationships between the patient and
Speaker 6: the doctor. And then yeah, as you mentioned malpractice as
Speaker 6: if things go wrong, but we're trying to avoid those
Speaker 6: things so wrong because sometimes that money will not fix
Speaker 6: Oregon failure or death.
Speaker 2: Gotcha?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: A big question of course. Rocky boyman texting me wants
Speaker 2: to know if we can still get his ed medicine
Speaker 2: uh in a brown bag delivered to his house. So
Speaker 2: is that in jeopardy? Okay? Adam Matthews State Representative, always
Speaker 2: loved the town, always love us, spending time chatty, Thanks
Speaker 2: again and good luck with the we'll call it the
Speaker 2: Elder Saint x Ledge. To allow more young people to
Speaker 2: play in stadiums like pay Corps and maybe Heritage Bank Center,
Speaker 2: maybe TQL places like that would be awesome. And great
Speaker 2: American Ballpark of course, all the best. Thanks again, have
Speaker 2: a great holiday, Thank you, take care.
Speaker 6: There you go.
Speaker 2: That's Adam Matthews on the show Scott Sloan here on
Speaker 2: the Big One seven hundred WLW. And when we return
Speaker 2: it is the weekend. Alli's here a little Thanksgiving lineup

Speaker 5: it a super weekend.
Speaker 4: So listen up.
Speaker 5: This is the Local Loop with Ali Martin on seven
Speaker 5: hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: I'm cold then cold a week because it's just nasty bodies. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we're not going to be sitting down at pay court
Speaker 2: tonight with the kids. Are you hell the elder Saint
Speaker 2: X game? That's all right, little damp a little moist tonight.
Speaker 9: This is my reasons why I don't have kids. I
Speaker 9: just simply don't refuse to participate. I will not be
Speaker 9: the soccer mom.
Speaker 4: Not the only reason I don't have kids.
Speaker 2: There's countless reasons.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna make myself feel better about the situation.
Speaker 2: All right, Alien or Dusty Ovaries are here this morning
Speaker 2: on seven hundred W. Well w you're talking about what's
Speaker 2: happening in and around Cincinnati's we get ready for the
Speaker 2: greatest of all holidays, that would be Thanksgiving.
Speaker 9: You know, I'm a Christmas gal, but I'm here to
Speaker 9: support you and your endeavor.
Speaker 2: It's just because it's all about food and football and family.
Speaker 2: That's it. And not even in that order. It's probably
Speaker 2: food and then football sometimes, but food football family, that's
Speaker 2: the order.
Speaker 9: And are you doing most of the cookie?
Speaker 2: I am doing all the cookie? Well, now I shouldn't
Speaker 2: say that. My nephew and his wife are coming over
Speaker 2: and I charged them with dessert. My daughter and her
Speaker 2: remitta coming over, and I charged her with a side,
Speaker 2: and she picked mac and cheese. I said, okay, yes,
Speaker 2: and then she tried to change it to mashed potatoes.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I just bought a eighty pound bag of potatoes.
Speaker 2: Now you can't change it.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 9: See, that's it's all about the delegation.
Speaker 10: I've had this conversation with a couple of ship something
Speaker 10: where it's the best thing you could do is clean.
Speaker 9: While you cook. Yes, Oh, there's absolutely delegate right.
Speaker 2: It starts above that mes plaus is number one, Yes,
Speaker 2: which means you like, you cut off, you prep all
Speaker 2: your food, you clean it. You fee okay, I need
Speaker 2: parsley chop, You chop a bunch of parsley dice onions.
Speaker 3: You do that.
Speaker 2: You get it all together, put a little ramic in
Speaker 2: her bowl. You have it all laid out before you.
Speaker 2: And then as you cook, you clean clean as you go.
Speaker 10: Oh and there's a step before even the first step
Speaker 10: that you said, and that is go grocery shopping a
Speaker 10: week before.
Speaker 2: Do not wait four hours between that. But yeah, you
Speaker 2: got to get a little window there. You got a window.
Speaker 9: You got a window, and then know the ovens know
Speaker 9: what you're working with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I get your tools, get it right, make
Speaker 2: sure your knights are sharp.
Speaker 9: Okay.
Speaker 10: So the fact that you are the one who's cooking
Speaker 10: and you're saying that Thanksgiving is your favorite holiday, you're
Speaker 10: allowed to say.
Speaker 9: You're allowed to say that, I love it.
Speaker 6: I love that.
Speaker 2: And then Christmas is I love Christmas. I'm a big
Speaker 2: Christmas guy. But I think that you don't have to
Speaker 2: worry about gifts and all these pretexts. Right, it's just
Speaker 2: like you show up, you eat, you pass out, you
Speaker 2: watch football.
Speaker 10: That's awesome, okay, but I feel like you and your family,
Speaker 10: you're at the age now are you still giving a
Speaker 10: whole lot of gifts?
Speaker 2: Not to every family is no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: no no. Because the kids get older. It's like, here's
Speaker 2: a gift card, shut up.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And I love it.
Speaker 10: And I give my mom so much credit. Even for
Speaker 10: my birthday. She's like, I want to physically send you something,
Speaker 10: and I'm like, I love this. But at the same time,
Speaker 10: I don't just send me the gift card. But she
Speaker 10: doesn't want to send the gift card because she wants
Speaker 10: something sentimental. But I understand, I understand.
Speaker 2: I guess I'm not a sentimental card anyway. You talking
Speaker 2: about this because I know you're champion at the bit
Speaker 2: to talk about our idea.
Speaker 9: This is we are taking credit for this. We are
Speaker 9: one thousand percent.
Speaker 2: It just goes back probably three years we have.
Speaker 10: Been talking about First it started with ice cream and
Speaker 10: guess what happened?
Speaker 9: And you know what we're talking about.
Speaker 10: We're talking about Skyline collaborating with Graters and then next thing,
Speaker 10: you know what happens, The ice cream appears, and then
Speaker 10: we continue to joke.
Speaker 9: How funny would it be, haha if there was a
Speaker 9: beer and guess what's happening?
Speaker 10: Boom boom b Braxton Beer and Skyline are collaborating. Whether
Speaker 10: this is true or not, this is a conspiracy theory,
Speaker 10: I'm gonna say that. We're coming up with these ideas.
Speaker 10: So now we got to come up with the next one.
Speaker 5: I don't know what it is.
Speaker 9: We'll figure it out.
Speaker 2: Yet all works out. I mean you think about like, okay,
Speaker 2: with a little chili, spice and cinnamon, It's like you
Speaker 2: could totally do that in a beer. I think holiday
Speaker 2: It's perfect for the holidays.
Speaker 10: And the best part is so Braxton every year. I
Speaker 10: can't believe we're already approaching this season it's their Dark
Speaker 10: Charge Day, so that weekend where they do the state
Speaker 10: at the dinner Dark Charge, and these are.
Speaker 9: The beers that are the very dark, that are.
Speaker 2: Like it's like a bottle of ketchup. It's a small bottle.
Speaker 2: That's a tiny bottle for no, you just need a little.
Speaker 9: Bit, a little bit. It's got the pretty wax feel, it's.
Speaker 2: Crazy flavors and it's and they're really good dark churches.
Speaker 10: Now insert this collab Skyline Braxton Beer and just like
Speaker 10: you said, it's a really dark beer that's infused with
Speaker 10: that signature spice blend.
Speaker 9: So I'm sure it's going to be a little bit
Speaker 9: of cinnamon.
Speaker 2: That's kind of like would work for Uh what what
Speaker 2: kind of beer, isn't it though?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 10: What kind of So it's a stout they're usually stay. Yeah,
Speaker 10: So it's Dark Charge, it's dark.
Speaker 9: My guess is the BV is going to be pretty
Speaker 9: high on it.
Speaker 10: Cold Weather cold Weather, and they're going to be launching
Speaker 10: it at their Dark Charge event Slash Weekend, which it's
Speaker 10: happening December sixth, fifth, sixth weekend that weekend.
Speaker 2: I try that.
Speaker 3: I think so too.
Speaker 10: Again, it's one of those where you could pick up
Speaker 10: one two bottles, call it a day for Max and
Speaker 10: you'll have it for a while. You can literally have
Speaker 10: it for the entire season and we're going to take
Speaker 10: cry for it. So you're you're welcome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you got the different ones, right, there's the
Speaker 2: regular skyt with beans.
Speaker 9: That you're talking about, the chili version it's got beans.
Speaker 2: Well, it's probably the black beans. I think you'll go
Speaker 2: there too, unseasoned black If it's a lot going on
Speaker 2: ones with onions and stuffing, you.
Speaker 9: Actually forget about syrup.
Speaker 2: You can just pour the beer on Dark charge. Is
Speaker 2: it's a wax seal. This is cheese.
Speaker 9: Melted. It becomes a fun duke.
Speaker 2: Correct. Yeah, you just rip it off with your teeth.
Speaker 2: You eat the cat. That's the first beer you can
Speaker 2: eat the cat and.
Speaker 9: It's paired with oyster crackers. Honestly, I'm here, you're there
Speaker 9: for it.
Speaker 2: I am there for it all right? Where to available?
Speaker 10: Uh so?
Speaker 9: Yeah, so again it's starting.
Speaker 10: If you want to get your hands on it, follow
Speaker 10: Braxton Beer because because this is their Dark Charge, it's
Speaker 10: limited in regards to how further shipping it out. It's
Speaker 10: usually a party source. But you're gonna want to most
Speaker 10: likely just stop by Braxion and pick it up.
Speaker 2: I got a shout out, Bractice. I need a bottle
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 10: Give it a try, I know, Skyline or Braxton. If
Speaker 10: you're hearing, we'll come up with the next grade idea
Speaker 10: and view it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a bottle each for that contribution.
Speaker 9: And I'm obsessed with the Greater's collap.
Speaker 2: Ice crib is actually, I mean, you can't eat all
Speaker 2: the time, but it's good.
Speaker 5: It is.
Speaker 2: I thought it was great it is. I was going
Speaker 2: the next time I do it, I might try to
Speaker 2: mess with like making a hot sauce kind of topping
Speaker 2: infuse like sweet with the hot.
Speaker 9: With the like you're trying to do like a fudge them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know the vinegar work with that.
Speaker 2: That might cut through it. Though the vinegar is good
Speaker 2: because it bounces off the swee. You can mess with that.
Speaker 9: The oyster crackers still, we're a little bit of funk
Speaker 9: funk to me. I think the new riff.
Speaker 2: You know what you could do is you get crazy,
Speaker 2: you get the oyster crackers, and then you could put
Speaker 2: some butter in a pan and then like maybe I
Speaker 2: don't know, brunch sugar.
Speaker 9: Oh, if you make a pie, could do that pie
Speaker 9: pie that You're welcome.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's just wait to see. We're going to have
Speaker 2: a test kitchen look at us and.
Speaker 10: Now we'll give it eight months and then that up,
Speaker 10: I'll have an ice cream pie or ice cream skyline.
Speaker 2: We missed out on that. Another great idea.
Speaker 9: You're welcome, Cincinnati, You're moving on. Okay.
Speaker 10: So we did loosely start to talk about last week
Speaker 10: what's happening down at Fountain Square, because I'm gonna be honest,
Speaker 10: I really did not do my due diligence.
Speaker 9: I did not come up, come here prepared.
Speaker 10: And we are going to rehash this a little bit
Speaker 10: more because of the fact that now the trees in
Speaker 10: place and the grand opening of Winter House is happening.
Speaker 10: So I had a chance to check out the Winter House,
Speaker 10: which is on Fountin Square, and you were kind of
Speaker 10: talking about it.
Speaker 9: A little bit last week.
Speaker 2: Yes, but boy, it is right. You didn't believe me.
Speaker 9: I honestly hear me, of course.
Speaker 2: And now it looks attack. The ice rink looks amazing.
Speaker 2: It's much much bigger.
Speaker 9: Hold on, you're talking about something different.
Speaker 2: Well, it's a block and a half.
Speaker 9: Yeah, let's let's paint the picture.
Speaker 10: We're gonna start on Fountain Square because that's where the
Speaker 10: ice rink used to be. And now they have this
Speaker 10: whole massive tent. And in the tent it is loungey, loungey, loungey.

Speaker 10: can work at, so I'm like, okay, I'm about to

Speaker 10: Them, yes, what yes, Boca Soto, Jeff Ruby Steakhouse, and
Speaker 10: the precincts, well those last two four to those last yeah, right,
Speaker 10: And this is huge because we are the only Cincinnati
Speaker 10: is the only Ohio city that made the top one
Speaker 10: hundred restaurants.
Speaker 9: And this is through open Table, which in my mind.
Speaker 10: I'm like, that's a pretty that's quite incredible source because
Speaker 10: I do all my reservation through open Table. That's where
Speaker 10: people find a lot of restaurants. So the way it,
Speaker 10: you know, you're taking twelve million different diner reviews and
Speaker 10: you're determining them through food, quality, service, atmosphere, just overall experience.
Speaker 10: And it's really great to see that we're kind of
Speaker 10: becoming Cincinnati has been. But there's just something about also
Speaker 10: being back in the restaurant scene that you're really seeing
Speaker 10: this fine dining scene flourish. At Jay also announced, which
Speaker 10: we've talked about, they're extending into twenty twenty six. So
Speaker 10: there's that Basque steakhouse and you're seeing these spots really flourish, shine.
