1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: About sun roofs open, hoping to avoid some rain windows down.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: Red's on the road.

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: Back on the radio on seven hundred WLW look to

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: make it back to back wins in a series, when

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: hopefully they could guarantee it with the win in Texas

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: against those Rangers. Later on tonight, Shitt Ludwig will have

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: the inside pitch. I'll take you right up to that

8
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: FC Cincinnati on the road in New York to take

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: on the Red Bulls, And of course a whole lot

10
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: of people traveling here, there and everywhere to Grahama's house

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: for Easter, for passover, sed and all. And you start

12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: thinking who else is on the road, well, at least

13
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: traveling in a way that most of us don't normally

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: beyond now the International Space Station.

15
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: If I'm not confused and informed.

16
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: And closer to the Moon than they are to Earth

17
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: looking to whip back around to come home in days,

18
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: kind enough to give us some time. Conversation I had

19
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: with Mike D. Wall He's a space Flight Tech Channel

20
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: editor from space dot Com. I asked Mike, I said,

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: how do you feel about this trip and these astronauts

22
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: closer to the Moon than here and ready to come

23
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: back in just a matter of days, making history.

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: And here's what he had to say, or not. Let's

25
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: see here, technology is not away.

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty cool, the first time humans have

27
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: left lowerth orbit since nineteen seventy two. It's actually happening.

28
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 3: Like I kind of expected there to be a few delays,

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: the launch might get pushed back a couple of times,

30
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: and it just didn't. It just went on the first

31
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 3: of April and there now they're going to the Moon.

32
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: It's just really really cool. I'm kind of just like,

33
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: it's just kind of surreal actually that it's all happening

34
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 3: right now.

35
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: It really is.

36
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: And we've talked about it seemingly forever and I've been

37
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: sort of in awe of it and picking your brain

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: about it. And we appreciate you, Mike D Wall giving

39
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: us time from space dot com about this tonight, and

40
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: just in general, how what is the easiest way to

41
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: process the distance in which these people are are traveling

42
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: as we speak right now? I mean they're less than

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: a week out they passed the space station, and my

44
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: math is correct, just going by what I've read, they're

45
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: more than one hundred and fifty close to like two

46
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: hundred times beyond where the space station is in orbit

47
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: now and continuing to go. That's hard to even put

48
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: together when you see the moon, which seems at times

49
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: like you could reach out and grab it.

50
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: Oh hold on, about two. Go ahead, you broke out there,

51
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

52
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, No, no, that's yeah. I was just saying,

53
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 3: they're way beyond the International Space Station, which flies about

54
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty miles above Earth. They're like right now,

55
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: you know, like the numbers are changing all the time

56
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: because they're getting farther away every second, but they're about

57
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty thousand miles from Earth right now

58
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: and getting farther away all the time, and actually gonna

59
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: end up about five thousand miles beyond the Moon, which

60
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 3: is about two hundred and forty thousand miles from Earth.

61
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, they're they're going they're going way out, you know,

62
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: They're they're going out beyond like theorist protective, like magnetic field.

63
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 3: They're going way out, way way out.

64
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: The pictures that we've seen so far from their vantage point,

65
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: some I think have been taken from if not a phone,

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: a tablet or something.

67
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: It is spectacular.

68
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: Have you been surprised by anything that you've seen in

69
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: this Journey show so far that they've shared with us.

70
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: I guess I'm just surprised by kind of how how

71
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 3: smoothly it's all gone. I mean, there have been a

72
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: few hiccups, you know. They they like had a little

73
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: problem with the toilet when they when they first launched

74
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: and started checking things out, and I'm sure that gave

75
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: everybody on board like a little bit of a gasp,

76
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: because it's kind of it would be it would not

77
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: be great to be to be in a ten day

78
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: mission and in a space caps with three other people

79
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: and have a broken toilet, but that that quickly got fixed.

80
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 4: There.

81
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 3: There have been a few other things that were just

82
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 3: like little things here and there, little glitches that they troubleshot,

83
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 3: And that's all to be expected. You know. This is

84
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: the first the first astronaut flight of this capsule, so

85
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: and it's only like the third time it's ever flown,

86
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 3: so you expect to kind of discover things when you

87
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 3: first put people on it. But yeah, I guess I

88
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: thought there would be not like a huge, a huge

89
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 3: disaster or anything, but maybe it's something a little more

90
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: serious that they had to work through, but I mean,

91
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: so far, it's just really really smooth.

92
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: It is spectacular.

93
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: Mike D Walls, a space Flight and Tech Channel editor

94
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: from space dot Com, was stirling on the big one.

95
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 5: Uh.

96
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: I've had people ask me, I'm a neighbor, and I

97
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: can't tell half the time if you's serious or joking.

98
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: But He's like, man, those illustrations or animations of what

99
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: they're doing, it doesn't even look real.

100
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: It's fake.

101
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, they don't have other than what

102
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: camera that's on their solar array. It's not like the

103
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: neighbor across the streets cameras can check to see how

104
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: they're looking right now, Like I may check if my

105
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 1: neighbors hands for trash, get sup by a car, break

106
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: that down for somebody who's like trying to wrap their

107
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: brain around this, because it is difficult even knowing what's happening.

108
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean they are obviously out there. There

109
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 3: are people tracking them with telescopes here on Earth. You

110
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 3: can actually see them, you know if you Google search

111
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: like Virtual Telescope Project that's like one of them that

112
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: has that is using powerful GRABD based telescopes to actually

113
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: track the progress of like of a ryet. I mean,

114
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if they can still get them now

115
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: that they're so far away, but shortly after launched they

116
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: were certainly resolving the capsule and so yeah, and it's

117
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: pretty common for people to just say, you know, that's fake,

118
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 3: it's space. I mean, how can you prove it? And

119
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: people say that about A Paulo, right, But I mean

120
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: it's one of those things where it would be way

121
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 3: harder to keep that conspiracy quiet for sixty years than

122
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 3: to actually go to the Moon. And it's just not

123
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 3: it's not like realistic, and like the Soviet Union back

124
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: then had the capacity to track our space cre and

125
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 3: they didn't come out and say it was fake because

126
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: that would have been a great thing for them, obviously,

127
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 3: to show that the West was lying about their spaceflight achievements.

128
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 3: They actually tracked Apollo to the Moon and back. So yeah,

129
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 3: all the conspiracy stuff is just kind of funny because

130
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: it would be way harder to keep like two hundred

131
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 3: thousand people quiet than to actually go to the Moon.

132
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: How big for those who don't know, because it seems

133
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: huge in comparison to the Earth and they're going around

134
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: it and their view of it will be like no

135
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: one on Earth effectively has ever seen that's living at

136
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: this point or at least effectively only a handful of people.

137
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: How much larger or smaller us to the to the

138
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: moon and just just comparatively speaking.

139
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll look I'm not sure exactly. I don't call

140
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 3: at the top of my head what the comparison is exactly,

141
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 3: but they it is going to look huge. They're they're

142
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: going to get within about five thousand miles of the Moon,

143
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: and so you know, that's not as close as the

144
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 3: Apollo Misians got, which would some of them actually landed,

145
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 3: but that's way way close than we are. We see

146
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: it. It looks like it's like the width of a couple

147
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: of thumbs in the sky to us or something. And

148
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 3: it's it's basically going to fill their their their windows

149
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 3: when they're on the close flyline Monday, and that's that's

150
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: that's going to be an amazing sight.

151
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 6: I think.

152
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't even process that.

153
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: Because you see these shows, these movies where they you know,

154
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: people have been sucked into some other universe or strange

155
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: world or whatever, and you see all this other stuff

156
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: in the sky. But what we see in the sky regularly.

157
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: I was still blown away. We talked about this seeing

158
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: the startling stuff a couple of weeks, a month or

159
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: two ago. For the first time I knew what it was,

160
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: but it was very unnerving for a blink of an

161
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: eye as I was trying to process what it was,

162
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: even though I kind of knew. I just it's got

163
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: to be life changing just to leave the Earth atmosphere,

164
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: let alone, to be doing what they're doing.

165
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, there's a term for that, how it changes

166
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: your your your perspective if you go to space and

167
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 3: can see it from space. It's called Yeah, it's called

168
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: like the like overview effect. And I mean people who

169
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 3: just go to orbit talk about that and how it's

170
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 3: life changing to see Earth with no national borders, you know,

171
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: and just see it as one world in this in

172
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: the blackness of space that seems so fragile and vulnerable,

173
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: and it's like very obviously one coherent unit that we

174
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: all live on. So what's the point of all the

175
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 3: bickering and all that stuff. That's a common response to

176
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: people who go to orbit. And there just haven't been

177
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: that many people who've been to the moon, you know,

178
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: there were only Yeah, they're only six Apollo landing missions,

179
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: and they're only twelve people that set foot on the Moon,

180
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 3: so it's not a huge sample size for people who've

181
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 3: actually gotten gotten far enough away from Earth to have

182
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: the super overview effect, right, But like I imagine it's

183
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 3: even it's even more powerful to be so far away

184
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 3: from Earth that it like looks like the Moon from

185
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 3: that far away, and for the Moon to be this

186
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: giant gray orb that you're skimming over the top of

187
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: that that must be like super trippy.

188
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: I can't imagine just the psychological change. I mean, and

189
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: I've mentioned this to other people, and others who go

190
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: and scuba diving sort of echoed it to me. But

191
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: the first time I was lucky enough to go scuba

192
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: diving and spend some time looking at coral and down

193
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: in the Cosmel area and elsewhere. I mean, it is

194
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: so what's the best word, humbling, because it really you

195
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: just see how insignificant you are, and then going to

196
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: space has got to be a whole other level. Even

197
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: though the atmosphere underwater is also different.

198
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 3: It's crazy, Yeah, it's pretty similar actually, because it's like

199
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 3: an alien environment for us, right, Like we're the intruders

200
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 3: in the ocean. I've had similar experiences with snarkling. You know,

201
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: it's amazing for so many reasons, and that's one of them.

202
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 3: Like you're obviously not at home in this world and

203
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 3: you're like a sitting duck. You can barely move, you

204
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 3: can thrash around a little bit. But if like a

205
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: big shark just like zoomed out of the blue and

206
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 3: decided to take a bite out of you, there's nothing

207
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 3: you can do. And so in space it's kind of

208
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 3: like that too, Like you're an invader in this environment.

209
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 3: You don't really belong there, but somehow we're smart enough

210
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 3: to build these machines that let us actually cruised through there,

211
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: and it's it is crazy. It is like a real

212
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: perception altering thing. We're far from home and we're exploring,

213
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: and that's that's the nature of our species.

214
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: Mike D.

215
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: Wall is a space light and Tech channel editor for

216
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: space dot Com Ohio Guy out West studying this kind

217
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: of stuff with Stirling on the Big One seven hundred

218
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: wlwor Artemis two making their way up and around the

219
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: Moon sooner than later coming back home. They talked in

220
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: the last couple of days Mike about being so busy

221
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: that they had time from the first day or two

222
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: effectively to have like a a half hour nap, maybe

223
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: twice depending. So even though it seems like you would

224
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: have all kinds of time and be you, they don't

225
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: have any time to really stop and do anything. I mean,

226
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: this is a full on work get it done in

227
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: that space capsule kind of stuff.

228
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: Is they make their way back? What are they doing?

229
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's actually like let up a little bit thankful,

230
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: Like like the first couple of days were super busy,

231
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: you know, like the first day when they were just

232
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: an Earth orbit checking out the capsules, like just making

233
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 3: sure that Ryan all the systems were working well and

234
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 3: all that. That was full long because they were they

235
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 3: were super busy doing all his checks. And then in

236
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: the lead up to kind of leaving Earth or that

237
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 3: the big burn that that the Irion capsule made to

238
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 3: send it like on the way to the Moon. That

239
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 3: was a big deal getting ready for that. But after that,

240
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 3: you know, after that that burn went so well, they

241
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: fired their engine for six minutes and it put them

242
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 3: on the precise trajectory to go around the Moon and

243
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 3: back to Earth. And it was so precisely done that

244
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: they don't really have to do any other like the

245
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 3: kind of major burns. That's just how it was planned.

246
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 3: So they've they've they've had some time, you know, they've

247
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 3: had time to talk to their families, they've had time

248
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 3: to rest and look out the window. We're getting some

249
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: great photos of Earth taken from inside the capsule from

250
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: the astronauts. They are still working, you know, like they

251
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: did some stuff today. They did like a CPR demonstration,

252
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 3: just like I mean, nobody was actually hurt and needed resuscitation,

253
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 3: but they practiced how they might do that in space

254
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 3: for future crews to use as kind of a knowledge base.

255
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 3: They did some other stuff like that. They've they've been

256
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 3: doing science experiments. They've they've been kind of gearing up

257
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 3: to do geology observations of the Moon when they when

258
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: they loop around it on Monday. But yeah, it's not

259
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 3: like as super full on as it was the first

260
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: couple of days.

261
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: One of the other things, the President came out and said,

262
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: they're wanting a greater focus, right and to really work

263
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: at this timeline that just seems shorter than what we

264
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: had discussed before and what I had read about getting

265
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: back there and using it as a base to then

266
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: go beyond the moon.

267
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: What do you know.

268
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: About what is next after this, because it seems like

269
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: this is all of a sudden. It was like weight,

270
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: literary test weight weight. Now it's like okay, now they're working.

271
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. So just about just about a month ago, you know,

272
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 3: like the the the administrator of NASA came out and

273
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 3: made an announcement about a change to the Artemis architecture.

274
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: The plan had been to try to land people on

275
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: the Moon with the next mission, Artemis iree, but they've

276
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: decided to kind of to change that to like an

277
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 3: Apollo nine like mission which will stay in ourth orbit

278
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 3: and test docking procedures between Oriyan and the moon lander

279
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 3: that they want to use. It's not clear which one

280
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 3: that's going to be yet, if it's going to be

281
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: provided by SpaceX or Blue Origins, but they're they're going

282
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 3: to do some docking kind of practice in Earth orbit,

283
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: which whatever one of those landers is ready in twenty

284
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 3: twenty seven, or they might do it with both of

285
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 3: them if they're both ready, and then in late twenty

286
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: twenty eight, the plan is to land folks on the

287
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 3: Moon the first time on Artemis four, and then from

288
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: from there, the plan is to start building like a

289
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 3: moon base near the lunar South Pole in the early

290
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: twenty thirties. So they've kind of shaken up the architecture,

291
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: but it is pretty ambitious. And so if everything goes

292
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 3: well with Artemis two, which seems to be so far,

293
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 3: and then Armis three goes well, and the private kind

294
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 3: of lunar landers are ready in time, we actually could

295
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 3: get people walking on the moon in late twenty twenty eight.

296
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: Well, I was not old to know anything. I mean,

297
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: we heard about it, but I didn't know and didn't

298
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: see or anything subsequently, and it just, you know, it

299
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: was just the stuff that you heard.

300
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: Are we so.

301
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: Jaded now because it's still overwhelming to me to imagine it,

302
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: But the world sort of stopped to watch when they

303
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: went there the first time before. Do you think it

304
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: will be just as monumental when that happens again, even

305
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: though I think just this event itself is pretty spectacular

306
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: and hard to process.

307
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've thought about that a lot too, you know,

308
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: because it is a totally different time. You know, back

309
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: in the apollodays, there were like three TV channels, There

310
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 3: was no social media, there were no cell phones, there

311
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 3: weren't as many distractions, right, everybody was in the world now, Yeah,

312
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 3: so there are just so many things competing for people's

313
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 3: attention now, and people have their own cyber news sources.

314
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: Everybody's in their own little bubble of information. So it's

315
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: kind of like it's hard to imagine that something even

316
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: as momentous as another movement could break through in the

317
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 3: same way that it did in the Apollo era. I

318
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 3: personally think it probably can't ever be the same just

319
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 3: because of the distraction level and our attention spans being

320
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 3: shattered and all that stuff. I mean, that's about to

321
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 3: say it won't be a big deal, but I just

322
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: don't think anything could ever be as big a deal

323
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: as it was in the Apollo days, just because everybody

324
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 3: we just had fewer options to.

325
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: Hold our attention, not as innocent as we maybe once

326
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: we're a space Flight and Tech Channel editor from space

327
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: dot Com might Dywall was sterling on the Big One

328
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: short on time. Final question, appreciate you making time on

329
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: the Easter weekend, so we thank you and hope everything

330
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: is good with the family. Are these people doing much

331
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: of the driving or at all?

332
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: Do they?

333
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if things get weird. Will they have some

334
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: ability to control this capsule and we know that it

335
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: has some ability to fire and move around at least

336
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: at some point to control it. But you mentioned when

337
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: they were sort of slingshot at or what point. They're

338
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: on the right trajectory now, so is it just just

339
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: going to do what it's going to do or they

340
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: actually sit there and drive it the way I will home.

341
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's like the mission design is that they

342
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 3: don't actually have to do anything else, that they're on

343
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 3: the right course now where just just sort of physics,

344
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 3: you know, lunar gravity, they're on the exact right trajectory

345
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: where they'll come around the back side of the Moon,

346
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: and the kind of Moon's gravity well will fling them

347
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 3: back toward Earth in the right way and at the

348
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 3: right time. So they aren't going to have to do anything.

349
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 3: But that being said, they actually could if they needed to.

350
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 3: One of the things that they did in the first

351
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: day of the mission was actually test drive oryan and

352
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: do like all these kind of like proximity tests is

353
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: what they called it. With the upper stage of the

354
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 3: rocket that launched them. They spent like an hour or

355
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 3: so doing all these close approaches and then backing away

356
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: driving the thing manually to see just to test how

357
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 3: it handled and what it was capable of. And those

358
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 3: tests we went really really well, like it handled really smoothly,

359
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 3: like according to the Artemis astronauts. So if they needed

360
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 3: to kind of put autopilot on a hold and take

361
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 3: control of the thing manually, then they certainly could. Well.

362
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: Let's hope they don't need to do that, but it's

363
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: nice that they have the capability. I'd hate to think

364
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: that you were just on and it'd be like, you know,

365
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: on on like a roller coaster, You're just there if

366
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: things go all It's not a good scenario, especially being

367
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: so far from home. Thank you for doing what you

368
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: do and bringing your insights and perspective. Mikey Wall, Spaceflight

369
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: Tech Channel, Editorspace dot Com.

370
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: Enjoy the rest of this Easter.

371
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: Weekend you too, There you go, a good conversation with

372
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: him and some insights. I'm still trying to process the

373
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: whole situation of being on a rocket that lifts you

374
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: off going faster than anyone's ever gone, farther than anyone's

375
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: ever gone, and way out there, and they don't have

376
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: a whole lot of space A whole lot of room.

377
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: The entire capsule space that they have is three hundred

378
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: and thirty qbic feet in that Orion space capsule. So

379
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: I ask you, what would you take if you could

380
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: take like one or two little things on a trip

381
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: around the moon, not on the moon. Russ Jackson's like,

382
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: bring the golf, hit the golf ball. I get it,

383
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: yes for sure. After your three third report, Sandy Collins

384
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: has news your chance to get interactive Saturday Sterling five

385
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: point three seven four nine seven eight hundred the Big

386
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: one seven hundred WULW.

387
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: It's difficult.

388
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: Now forget about TSA back up in lines and all

389
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: this stuff at the government shutdown which seems to have abated.

390
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 2: Sum you're getting out of CBG.

391
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: You're flying at a day in Lexington, Louisville, whatever, Indianapolis.

392
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: As you're hanging out listening to Sterling, that's me and

393
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: Russ Jackson keep me online and end time, and Brady

394
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: and Sandy Collins in the newsroom keep me going. And uh,

395
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: you're trying to get where you're going here on seven

396
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: hundred WLW and you're gonna leave and go out of town,

397
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: and you only have so much room for luggage and

398
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: they're wanting to charge more for carry ons. The're hell,

399
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: they'll'll probably start charging more for people who weigh more

400
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: because of the cost of fuel for aircraft as a

401
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: result of what's going on in the Middle East. Speaking

402
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: of which, by the way, uh, we'll talk to doctor

403
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: Dona Shleg former head of political science now professor Merida

404
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: Wright state about the Iran situation after five o'clock. Also

405
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: Kurt Ryber from the Free Store Food Banking, and maybe

406
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: an airfool about that new Mario Galaxy movie from Kevin Carr.

407
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: A bit later too in the meantime, thinking about going someplace,

408
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: thinking about getting out of town, and you go, okay, well,

409
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: what can I fit in the carry on? I don't

410
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: I want to have to pay more. I don't want

411
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: to you know, charge you know for that. In stowing luggage,

412
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: what do you take with you? If you have to

413
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: decide you only have so much space under the seat

414
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: back in front of you right as how that goes,

415
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: or you stow it that way, or you stow it

416
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: on the overhead, or maybe they put it under the plane.

417
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: Maybe you get a gate ticket. Now imagine next level.

418
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: You heard conversation with Mike Waller early or if not,

419
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: you can check out the podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

420
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: You can leave a message, by the way, by clicking

421
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: on the microphone. What do you take? Do you take

422
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: a tablet like some of these astronauts apparently we're taking

423
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: pictures from their little window and amazing pictures of the Earth,

424
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: and as soon we'll be seeing up close in person

425
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: shots of the Moon, which none of us have gotten

426
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: to see before to that level, or otherwise.

427
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 2: What do you take?

428
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I can remember vividly coming back from beach

429
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: vacation with an X of mine who had to get

430
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: like all the lotions and all the other stuff from

431
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: the vacation beach destination situation, and then coming to fly

432
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: back and we're going through a security check and then

433
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: they determined that none of the stuff lotions fit. Then

434
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: you got to decide do you throw it away? Do

435
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: the TSA agent take the lotion? Do you stow it

436
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: under the aircraft? Do you ship it if you have

437
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: time with the postal service or whatever else. You don't

438
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: get those options if you're on a jet rocket like

439
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: Artemis too, and take any up and around the moon

440
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: in that orion space capsule, So I ask you, what

441
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: do you take? I would take probably a tablet too

442
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: for photos. You could have some music to listen. I

443
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: don't know if they stream that for them from a

444
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: distance and wake them up, which we've seen that they

445
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: do with the International Space Station. I'm just wondering with

446
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: only think about this. There's four people up there. They

447
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: have what they describe as three hundred and thirty cubic feet.

448
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 2: That is not a huge space, right.

449
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: You've seen them in those videos, you know, sort of

450
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: tethered so they don't float around, and maybe some video

451
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: of them working. So what would you take if you

452
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: were one of the four and you're on a spacecraft

453
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: like that and you're on this crazy trip, you gotta

454
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: be able to take it with you. I mean maybe

455
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: aside from medicines and you know, lotion salves, whatever else,

456
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: lip balm, I'm guessing it's probably pretty dry up there.

457
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven, eight hundred, the

458
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: big one, pick up the phone, give it the finger.

459
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm on x or Twitter at Sterling Radio as well.

460
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: I would think that, I mean, maybe some gum. I've

461
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: seen some of the astronauts gnawing on some gum. I

462
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: would have to take a supply of gum, and I

463
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: would love some doctor pepper. I think maybe that'd be

464
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: something you look forward to on the way back. I

465
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: don't know how that works in a weightless environment, but

466
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: I might have to sneak a can or two of

467
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: that up there too. Columbus and Ransom was sterling on

468
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW.

469
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 2: How are you? What do you take if.

470
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: You're on that Artemis to rocket and then you're in

471
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: that Orion space capsule and you're trying to you only

472
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: have a little bit of room. What must you have

473
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: for a handful of days away to go around the moon?

474
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 2: Do you think?

475
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 5: Well, for one thing, you want to make sure you Yeah,

476
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 5: we didn't have tablots back and I remember actually the

477
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 5: reason I called was on sixty six, and I was

478
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 5: going to take you back over fifty or sixty years

479
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 5: and tell you about what it was like with the

480
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 5: first lunar landing with the Neil Armstrong.

481
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 3: But all was like, so.

482
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: You were so you were a kid? What was that like?

483
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: Cause I talked to my mom and others about it,

484
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: and I've seen it in film.

485
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: The whole world basically stopped the watch.

486
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, it was.

487
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 3: Uh.

488
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 5: Well, of course President Kennedy had set us on this

489
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 5: march towards the Moon when you know, one of his

490
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 5: addresses to the country, and so they they picked up

491
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 5: the man and one ran with it. And then of course,

492
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 5: you know he got assassinated and and Bobby got a

493
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 5: cincinnaated and Barton got assassinated. So the country really needed something,

494
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 5: we needed to win in something at that time, you know,

495
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 5: and like you and like you had said, uh, they

496
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 5: only had three networks at the time, NBC, ABC and CBS,

497
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 5: and uh, Walver Konkite sor like was the grandfather of

498
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 5: the NASA program. Anytime there was any any sort of

499
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 5: news about NASA or you know doing this. Of course

500
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 5: the lead up to the you know, the launch and

501
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 5: then them, uh you know when they when they when

502
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 5: they let the lunar module go away from the main

503
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 5: capsule thing. That was a big deal going around the moon.

504
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 5: And you know, everybody was on pins and needles back

505
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 5: then because they just didn't have the telecommunications that we

506
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 5: have now. And so you you be sitting there, but

507
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 5: then when you saw Deil Armstrong and of course they

508
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 5: had some of they must have had.

509
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 7: A camera on him or something like that.

510
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 5: When he when he on the moon, it was like

511
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 5: the like the whole class cheered, you know, and then

512
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 5: they then they stuck the American flag up, which brought

513
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 5: another chair, you know. Then Buzz Aldrin came down and

514
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 5: they were out there playing around and bouncing around, and uh,

515
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 5: I think I think it was Buzz that actually borrows.

516
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 5: You know, I can't remember one of them pulled out.

517
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 5: They looked like a pick or something. But they had

518
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 5: brought a golf ball and they launched a golf ball

519
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 5: on the moon and it was just going. Like you

520
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 5: talk about the longest drive in the world. That was it, right, There.

521
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: Was a blast, no grass in sight, but there was

522
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot lots of sand.

523
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you know. So you know, back in our days,

524
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 5: back in the sixties, you know, they were talking about

525
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 5: you know, flying cars, and they were talking about a

526
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 5: lot of futurists, like the Jetsons was a big cartoon

527
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 5: that we all watched every on Saturday, and a lot

528
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 5: of that stuff was like, you know, that's going to

529
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 5: be the future. I remember my grandmother saying to me,

530
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 5: they'll never put a man on the on the moon.

531
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 5: You know this is or whatever. But unfortunately she passed

532
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 5: away and they put a man on the moon before

533
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 5: she even passed away, and everything so that you can't

534
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 5: eat troll on that. But she was such a wonderful

535
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 5: woman and stuff.

536
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: But it's an inconceivable thing.

537
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: Imagine what she and her age had seen in the

538
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: change of communication and travel and everything in her lifetime.

539
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: That's tremendous raism. I appreciate the call man, thank you

540
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 1: for listening and bringing your perspective on that.

541
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 2: See, that's the thing.

542
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: If you're not older like that and haven't been around,

543
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: it's hard to process. I remember being a kid when

544
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: the shuttle blew up, or a young man anyway, and

545
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: for years that had been coming and going. The shuttles

546
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: were going up and out and up and out, all right.

547
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: I mean it was almost like you know, catching a

548
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: metro bus or something, or you know, or getting an uber.

549
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: It was it was commonplace until it wasn't. And you

550
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,239
Speaker 1: forget how dangerous and everything that goes with it. What

551
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: would you take if you you could stow something away

552
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: on a journey such as this, and maybe sooner than

553
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: later we'll be getting to go to the moon or

554
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: maybe the next generation will and then to Mars from

555
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: there five one, three, seven, four, nine hundred the Big One.

556
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: My guess is that the smaller sizes and a lot

557
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: of other stuff. Three hundred and thirty qw wee feet

558
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: is not big. That is not a lot of space

559
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: to Westchester. And Jim was sterling on the big one.

560
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: Hey Jim, how are you?

561
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 2: I'm good?

562
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 8: How are you?

563
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: I'm well.

564
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 6: I just wanted to I just want.

565
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 9: To chime in here. I was twenty years in the

566
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 9: Air Force and I was in the aerospace field. I

567
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 9: spent my first eight years buried in the underground Titan

568
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 9: two missile silo and sas on.

569
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 7: I was part of the.

570
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 9: Original MX test team that Reagan wanted to put a

571
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 9: rocket on rails.

572
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 7: And my last eight years I spent at Cape.

573
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 9: Canaverral launching global positioning satellites off the seventeen A and B.

574
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: That's to so you probably did some shovels and stuff

575
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: in that window that there's a lot of subtleges.

576
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 9: I was standing on my tower when the Challenger went

577
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 9: up and blew up almost right over the top of us,

578
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 9: all those children. Krista mccalloff the school teacher was on board.

579
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 9: It was probably the saddest day of my twenty years.

580
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 10: It was just terrible.

581
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 11: But again I was I was in the.

582
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 9: Industry for quite a while.

583
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 6: I was part of.

584
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 9: Thirty six Challenge or I was part of thirty six

585
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 9: Delta missions where we were putting up global positioning satellites.

586
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 9: Saw a lot of good things, and the Challenger going

587
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,719
Speaker 9: down the way that it did just put such a

588
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 9: damper on the industry that was really going forward at

589
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 9: the time, and it was just a shame. Especially those

590
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 9: people lost their.

591
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: Lives absolutely and everything.

592
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 12: It was very terrible.

593
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: I think people forget exactly how dangerous it is. I mean,

594
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: life is fragile here, but then you go up there

595
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: and there's nowhere. It's ridiculous cold, and there's no help.

596
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it's a hard to process scenario.

597
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: It takes a very special type of person, I think,

598
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: to put themselves in a situation to be chosen to

599
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: be on a craft to do such a thing. I'm

600
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: curious in experiencing that and having that perspective. Are you

601
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: surprised it's taken as long as it has for us

602
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: to get to this place again, to be talking about

603
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: it or do you think it makes sense.

604
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 13: No, I think I'm very surprised and has taken this long.

605
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 9: I am.

606
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 11: I am absolutely stunned.

607
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 9: Like I left there in nineteen ninety three and look

608
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 9: where we are and how many years.

609
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 11: I mean, it was just it was just terrible, and

610
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 11: I think it set us back, you know. I mean

611
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 11: that was about you know, the reaching into the future, correct,

612
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 11: you know, and it kind of it kind of basically

613
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 11: it stopped.

614
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 9: And as I said, it had a lot to do

615
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 9: the space industry. You had a lot to do with defending.

616
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 2: Our country, That's right.

617
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 11: I don't think people fully realize that, you know. I mean,

618
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,239
Speaker 11: you know, we had a lot of things going on

619
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 11: back in those days.

620
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely do.

621
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: We have a lot going on now too, and they're

622
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: using a lot of that same technology and stuff that

623
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: we are completely unaware of, probably in the midst of

624
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: what's going on in Iran and stuff too. Not that

625
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: we only switch topics. We'll get into that with Doctor

626
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: slike a little bit later after five. One more question

627
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: for you, Jim, and I really appreciate you listening to

628
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: being a part of the show and bringing your experience,

629
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: which is tremendous if in fact, you were lucky enough

630
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: to be on a trip like this and you only

631
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: had a limited bit of space, which we know is

632
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: smaller than what we were flying to Florida. What would

633
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: you carry on with you if you were on an

634
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: Orion capsule trip.

635
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 9: I gotta believe I would take some reading material.

636
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 14: That's the something to be able to I.

637
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 2: Think the time.

638
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: See I wonder if I would just be like an

639
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: annoying to the people I was working with, just wanting

640
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: to stare out there, because I mean, the first couple

641
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: of times I went scuba diving, I was so geeked

642
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: up and excited about being in effectively another world that

643
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: I went through so much air so fast, because I

644
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: was just like almost hyper ventilate, just overwhelmed. I can't

645
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: imagine being in that place. Jim, I really appreciate you

646
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: listening to being a part of the show Man.

647
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 9: Thank you.

648
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 14: But but you I wanted to give you one more

649
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 14: you know, I'll give you a lot more perspective as

650
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 14: someone who you know, the process was just unbelievable.

651
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 11: Here, here's a here's an empty pad.

652
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 13: You qualify all the equipment, you began stacking the rocket.

653
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 13: You you verified that everything is good with the rocket.

654
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 13: Then you go into countdown mode.

655
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 9: You launched the rocket and if it's in the right

656
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 9: geo sync, send it back the right message. You know,

657
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 9: you did a first rate job. It was just so

658
00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 9: fulfilling to see that and understand the process and watch

659
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 9: it unfold. It was probably the best years of my

660
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 9: life as far as working and being in the military.

661
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 9: It was, without doubt very self fulfilling.

662
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: Got to be gratifying, and to know that you had

663
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: a hand it in some fashion is pretty amazing. And

664
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: anyone who's ever gotten to be, you know, lucky enough.

665
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: I remember when I was going to write State they

666
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: had one of the shuttles that it was on piggyback

667
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: that came to write Pat And you don't really have

668
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: an understanding of how large that you know, that particular

669
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: vehicle was, let alone, like that that rocket that has

670
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: got that Ryan Captule up. I mean, you know, basically

671
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: higher than like crew tower, which is just inconceivable the

672
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: size that goes into it really is. And that's a

673
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: whole lot of gasoline or in this case hydrogen and

674
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: other stuff to get you up there. As you're just

675
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: sort of holding on. I can't I can't process it.

676
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: It's it's awesome. Jim, Thank you, man. Take care of yourself.

677
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: I hope you'll call it back again. Take care of

678
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: you good.

679
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 9: Thank you so much.

680
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, appreciate it. Your four o'clock reports coming. I'm

681
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: not sure if it's Brady or if it's Sandy Collins.

682
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: Either way, they got you covered with the news that

683
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: matters to you, yours. We have Brady, Okay, he's got

684
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: to coming. Russ knows he's seen him. I got a

685
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:10,959
Speaker 1: one to one to a hallway, so I don't know.

686
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: It used to be we had windows in front of us.

687
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: I'd see Russ and then the news person and then beyond.

688
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: But now I'm just in here by myself with a

689
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: window into a hallway. Everything is fine. Kevin Carr later

690
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: conversation with him about this new Mario movie. A lot

691
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: of people looking to check that out this weekend. Doctor

692
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: Donna Schleck talking about what's going on in Iran and

693
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: what could be next is they continue to search for

694
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: that lost pilot, whole lot of other stuff to get

695
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: to between now and Chick Ludwig before the Reds and

696
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: the Rangers get at it. Trying to go back to

697
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: back wins and take a series win. They're first A

698
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: twenty six on the road right here on the home

699
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: of the Red seven hundred WLW Cincinnati.

700
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: What's happening tonight? The Reds are back at it. They're

701
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 2: on the road. They're in Texas, game two of this

702
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: weekend series.

703
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: Very young baby twenty twenty sixth season, but they look

704
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: to take a series win there.

705
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: FC Cincinnati's on the road.

706
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking about this, and I have this conversation

707
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: with friends today and it's more than a regular conversation

708
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: with some people I know. So you kind of think,

709
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: which would you prefer? Do you want a World Series?

710
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: Do you want a Final four? National Championship basketball team

711
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: situation for UC or Bengals? Super Bowl? Which of all

712
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: the things do you think means the I guess it

713
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: depends on if you're playing. Obviously you want to be

714
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: the winner regardless, but as a fan or otherwise, which

715
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: is a bigger deal?

716
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: The Super Bowl? The Final four? The World Series?

717
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: There's more World Series games generally, right you get four,

718
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna get one super Bowl, but you get the playoffs,

719
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: you get the World Series could go seven, sometimes it

720
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: goes four, like their eds wire to wire when they

721
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: swept the A's that was huge and great. And how

722
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: many chicken wings? And how much beard did I consume

723
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: that year in nineteen ninety A little bit?

724
00:33:58,960 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 2: And on it goes.

725
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: So I ask you, this is sort of weird, but

726
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: I want to try to have some fun in thinking

727
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 1: about this.

728
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 2: And we had a lot of other stuff to get to.

729
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: After five, doctor Donischlake's going to join us for the

730
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: latest on Iran and that search for that down pilot,

731
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: and uh, that's going on as we speak at riber

732
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: free store food bank. But in the meantime, I mean

733
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: on what as a as a fan purely, at this point,

734
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: I would imagine, I think a World Series might mean more,

735
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: But the Reds have gotten a World Series. Then you

736
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: get the Super Bowl, the Super Bowl Bengals have never

737
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: had a Super Bowl Bengals team would be massive. Bringing

738
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: home that Lombardi Trophy. But then you think, okay, final

739
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,959
Speaker 1: four for UC or Xavier or Dayton or Wright State

740
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: or maybe NKU. Those Horizon League teams could shock the world. Hell,

741
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: Miami had a run for a minute in the tournament

742
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: after a you know, the sort of like the play

743
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: in game kind of scenario and then onward in that

744
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: in that first four deal or what have you.

745
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 2: But what is it? What would be bigger? Five point

746
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 2: three seven? The big one? Talk back the iHeartRadio app.

747
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: I mean, when it comes to wagering and everything else,

748
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, that's an one thing because you

749
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: got a lot more. You got one hundred and sixty

750
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: two games in Major League baseball, but the money's not

751
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: the same with betting. A lot of college hoops and

752
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: tournament stuff, a lot of wagering and betting there. I mean,

753
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ways to look at it. Some

754
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: kids at this point have never seen like a winning

755
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: playoff Reds team, let alone getting to a World Series.

756
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: Some kids finally got a chance to see the Bengals

757
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: get to a super Bowl, but they never quite got it.

758
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: The Bengals didn't get it done there. You might be

759
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: able to remember when, like the Bearcats played deep into

760
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: the tournament in some hoops and stuff baseball college levels

761
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: a different scenario, and some really good college baseball in

762
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: our region just in general. But I mean I'm kind

763
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: of kind of thinking about it.

764
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 3: I mean.

765
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: Kind of feel like maybe the World Series is a

766
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: bigger deal. Maybe It's just me because I'm predisposed as

767
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: a baseball fan that way. I mean, I love some

768
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: college hoops and stuff. And you know, one of the

769
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,919
Speaker 1: best that I've ever heard, and I've listened back Marty

770
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: Brenneman doing some basketball and he used to do for CBA.

771
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: I think it was CBS Radio back. I remember hearing

772
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: him in the nineties and stuff doing and as good

773
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: as Marty as a Hall of Fame broadcaster, not just

774
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: with the Reds but in Cooperstown, as good as he

775
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: was in baseball, which is one of the best ever.

776
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: I really thought he was tremendous doing hoops stuff, which

777
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: he did ABA stuff, you know, and obviously I think

778
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: it was Virginia. Heck, he was a part of two

779
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: there before coming to Cincinnati to do Reds. So just

780
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: to give you an idea, he debuted as the voice

781
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: of the Reds fifty two years ago today, nineteen seventy four.

782
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: The Reds opened the season against the Atlanta Braves and

783
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: he debuted with Joe Nuxall fifty two years ago today,

784
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy four, which is pretty amazing when you think

785
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: about it. So, you know, would it be the final four?

786
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: It would it be the super Bowl? Would be the

787
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: World Series? I mean it's really it's a really arbitrary

788
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: kind of thing. It's a matter of personal taste and

789
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: what your focus is and what you know, what it

790
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: is that you're into. If you're playing, be to be

791
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: the best at anything that you're involved in. I mean

792
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: that would be massive. But as a fan, which which

793
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: is it? Which you know, whether you'd bet on it

794
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: or whether you you'd actually want to go compared to playing,

795
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I'd be great if if I

796
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: was a player. I mean, all of those are pretty spectacular.

797
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven, eight hundred, the

798
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 1: big One, talk back, the iHeartRadio app at Sterling on

799
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: x at Sterling Radio you can get interactive that way too.

800
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 2: So what which is the bigger deal?

801
00:37:54,600 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: The Final Four, the World Series, the super Bowl, MLS

802
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: Cup for some you got FIFA World Cup that's going

803
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: to be happening.

804
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 2: That's pretty massive.

805
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: That's a global scale scenario, right, I mean globally speaking,

806
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: some would argue that maybe that that's the biggest thing

807
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: on the planet.

808
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 2: Tough to say. What do you think?

809
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: Cole rain and Ed was Stirling on seven hundred WLW

810
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: room for you as well. If I went three seven, four,

811
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 1: nine hundred the big one, ED appreciate you listening and

812
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: being on the show, which is the bigger deal of

813
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: all the championships.

814
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 6: Actually, if you lived in this town long enough, we're

815
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 6: wagon jumpers, man, whicheverone's doing good, we're getting on the wagon.

816
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 6: So it would be any of them. I mean, as

817
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 6: long as they're anolytical teams, right, I mean, like Steep.

818
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 6: Why don't pay that much attention to the Bengals. But

819
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 6: the year they went to the Super Bowl Christ they

820
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 6: bought shirts and everything.

821
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: They were ready to go out of the woodwork. Yeah.

822
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: I hadn't really thought about the bandwagon thing. You're absolutely

823
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: we just love winners, don't we.

824
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 6: I got right, and I kind of got up in

825
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 6: it when the soccer I'm not a big MLS fan,

826
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 6: but what they were doing good. And I can't remember

827
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 6: how years ago was, but and they won that shield

828
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 6: or whatever, Yeah, I was all over it. I was

829
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 6: all over it because they were winning.

830
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

831
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,720
Speaker 7: I think that's the same as everywhere.

832
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 6: Man, if you bring a winner, people come.

833
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 2: That's true. If you build it, they will come. Mat

834
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 2: I've seen that movie.

835
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, my favorite, my favorite sport is baseball. But I

836
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 6: mean if the Bangles are doing good or the soccer

837
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 6: is doing good, I'm all over them too. Because I'm

838
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 6: a fan. I don't know most of the fan is

839
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 6: playing word for fanatic.

840
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: That's weird fanatics, right, I don't know about anybody, you know,

841
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: I ed I appreciate the call men thanking the perspective

842
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 1: we are bandwagon. I just think a guy used to

843
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: be my boss who I worked with the Channel Z

844
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: and then kissed for a minute and a half before

845
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: I left and came back.

846
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:54,720
Speaker 2: And uh, Matthew Harris.

847
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: We always used to joke as a UC basketball fan

848
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: that he'd have his head band on at home all alone,

849
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: drinking his gain as you know, in his underwear and

850
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: wristbands and headband. Just focusing on bear Cat basketball. There

851
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: are some who live it and breathe it by sport,

852
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: not just by bandwagon. Which would be the bigger deal,

853
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: the World Cup, the MLS Cup, you know, one of

854
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: those other competitive like the Lamar Hunt Shield Battled, which

855
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: I think they're doing now or had been. World Series

856
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: certainly would be massive, super Bowl and of course the

857
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 1: Final Four going on tonight.

858
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 2: When it comes to some college hoops. Who's been holding

859
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 2: the longest?

860
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: To Richwood and Eric, then Willie and room for you

861
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven, eight hundred, the

862
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: big one of all of the sports, of all of

863
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: the activities. And I just said, somebody mention, how dare

864
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: you not mention? It sounds like Tracy Jones. It says,

865
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: how dare you sterling not mention ping pong? Because I

866
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: guess calling me out? Thank you, Mark. I do occasionally

867
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: make fun of ping pong. Table tennis is what the

868
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 1: real players do. Ping Pong's what I play in the basement.

869
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 2: Eric, what do you have? I appreciate you holding your

870
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 2: sterling on the big one?

871
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 7: Okay, great? I have been a long right now, I'd

872
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 7: say I would love to live in an area. I

873
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 7: live in Kentucky, up Trade or Cincinnati. I've been here

874
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 7: all my life. I would love to live in an

875
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:21,720
Speaker 7: area and it's got its stuff together. In the host

876
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 7: of Final four, I don't care, I don't care who

877
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 7: is playing in it. You belt you just said it.

878
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 7: You belt it, and they will come. You know this,

879
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 7: people in this area were taxed to put two places

880
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 7: on that record, and man, one of them have ad

881
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 7: it a little bit to the west tonight is matter

882
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 7: of fact, Indianapolis in that Lucas Center. Nine times have

883
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 7: they hosted that Final four. About three three hundred events

884
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,720
Speaker 7: are here in that center.

885
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: And I remember when they had the Hoosier Dome, and

886
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,919
Speaker 1: I think our Rocky Boyman Probably I could be wrong.

887
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: He may have been after the Hoosier Dome when he

888
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: was there with the Colts, but I can remember as

889
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: a kid taking a tour of it and how big

890
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: of a deal it was. And I didn't realize that

891
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: those facilities had been that busy with that many events.

892
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,720
Speaker 1: But the question is would people cough up the cash

893
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: to pay the taxes to build a facility that would

894
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: be big enough and multipurpose enough to host a Final

895
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 1: four something like that. Because they struggle at this point

896
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: to replace Heritage Bank Center, they talked about to bring

897
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 1: something bigger, to get even further in the tournament, not

898
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: to the Final four, even.

899
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 7: As privately you're not gonna kill well, no, not them,

900
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 7: but but.

901
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean the community itself, the city of the county.

902
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: They've talked about coming together to build something that would

903
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 1: be as you just described.

904
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I guess I might be talking after the

905
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 7: horse is gone and to close the door. I just

906
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 7: think it's a real shame that all that money. I mean,

907
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 7: they won the open open air facility so they can play.

908
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: On natural grass, right, Oh well sure, because I mean

909
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: it's hard for those guys. I mean, any of those

910
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: guys you talked to who play pro football, you know,

911
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: and they tell you about you know, it's like a

912
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: physically being in a car collision at thirty miles an

913
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: hour multiple times a game.

914
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 7: So you can hear it.

915
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

916
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: So, I mean, you know, playing on a natural surface

917
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: compared to the surface even a PBS now or pay corps.

918
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: You know, they've talked about it being somewhat suspect too.

919
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: So I don't know how you ever get completely around

920
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: it where it's not going to be somewhat harmful to

921
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: those playing on it.

922
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 2: But I get what you're saying, well football, Yeah, you

923
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 2: guys don't. It's hard.

924
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 5: It really is.

925
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,439
Speaker 1: Eric be safe, drive and enjoy your time in Indy.

926
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean, would you cough up the cash?

927
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean we talk about people still complain about the

928
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: tax deal that Hamilton County did back in the late

929
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: nineties when pay Corps became like a living breathing thing

930
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: down by the river, which is you know, still an

931
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: award winning design, great facility, but it's not going to

932
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: do a Final four, you know, would you pay for that?

933
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: That's a that's a great question that he asked, and

934
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: I just don't know if you had that many events,

935
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 1: maybe and then where do you put it? Let's get

936
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: a Monroe Wellie then Amy, I like it when women

Speaker 1: the championships, Final four, Super Bowl, World Series FC Cincinnati,

940
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: maybe getting a chance at the MLS Cup if they

941
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: get to it at World Cup when you name it,

942
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: which is the bigger deal to you?

943
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 4: World Series by far. We've been to Crasley Field, Riverfront

944
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 4: and now Great American. It's time to bring the Big

945
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 4: c back on top of baseball like it like it

946
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 4: was for the past one hundred years.

947
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 2: I can't disagree with you. It mean it'd be nice,

948
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 2: you know.

949
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 1: And then they'll try to go back to back wins

950
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: and take another sea this time from the Rangers, their

951
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: first road trip of the year. Little later tonight on

952
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:05,720
Speaker 1: the Big One, as they do it up in Arlington,

953
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean that would be huge. They're playing

954
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: for that right now, so I totally get it.

955
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 5: Will.

956
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call.

957
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: Amy, it's your turn with Sterling on the big one

958
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: of all of the final four happening tonight, you know,

959
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: all these other things, very young baby, twenty twenty six

960
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: baseball season reds looking you know, to get a series

961
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: win against the Rangers later on, which one would you

962
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: be hip to the most? As far as championship activities, Amy.

963
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 8: It has to be Baseball World Series because that is

964
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 8: an opportunity where as can actually attend the game and.

965
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 10: It would bring it to the city.

966
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 8: Super Bowl where you'd have to go, so that but

967
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 8: Baseball you could actually go and the game be a

968
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 8: part of it.

969
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:52,280
Speaker 2: Yeah that's true.

970
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're lucky, you know, in football times,

971
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: you know you could get home field advantage maybe through

972
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but the Super Bowl generally is going to

973
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,240
Speaker 1: be another destination situation.

974
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 10: So yeah, you're right, yeah, yeah, bring it to the city,

975
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 10: up the city.

976
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Amy, I appreciate the call, Thank you,

977
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: and be safe driving, Kevin. Your was Sterling on the

978
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: Big One? Which of the is the bigger deal, super Bowl,

979
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: World Series Final four, as a fan, as a spectator,

980
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: which is it that You're like, Man, this is it?

981
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 3: Oh?

982
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 12: By far Sterling. It would have to be the Bengals

983
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 12: winning the Super Bowl. Yeah, just for the sheer fact

984
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 12: that the city and the entire region was at an

985
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 12: absolute fever pitch just only three years ago, and the

986
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 12: fact the.

987
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 5: Bengals have been so close to winning that game.

988
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 12: Three separate times.

989
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 2: They really have a playway and I.

990
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 12: Swear and have not done it they if they could

991
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 12: win a super Bowl, it would be Look, the Reds

992
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 12: have already won World Series, and granted the last one

993
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 12: was in nineteen ninety, you've got an entire generation of

994
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:06,720
Speaker 12: Reds fans who don't even know what winning baseball looks like. However,

995
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 12: the Bengals winning the Super Bowl would unite the city

996
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 12: in a way you would not ever see before.

997
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 5: Yeah.

998
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: I mean you could certainly feel it when they got

999
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: out to La to play the last time and it

1000
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: didn't quite go so well.

1001
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 2: So, I mean I feel what you're saying, Kevin. I

1002
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 2: appreciate the call, and you may be right.

1003
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: That might be the bigger one, the harder one, you know,

1004
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: it's tough from nineteen ninety just to get back through

1005
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs. The good news is, I think this pitching

1006
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: issues right now with the Reds. And I'm not trying

1007
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 1: to like put a hex on them, but I mean

1008
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: they seem to be pitching a plenty just a few

1009
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and then with some injuries and so forth,

1010
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: not even just to mention blister issues all of a sudden,

1011
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: going deep and seeing exactly what you got. If the

1012
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: Reds can tread water through this period of time and

1013
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: get some guys back healthy, you know you may be

1014
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: looking at a championship team. We'll have to wait and

1015
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: see exactly how it goes.

1016
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's kind of tough. Five point three seven.

1017
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: The big one at Sterling Radio on x you can

1018
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: get interactive that way and the talkback up feature on

1019
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: the iHeart radio app. If you're streaming there or want

1020
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: to leave a message, it might be easier. You can

1021
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: click on the microphone on the iHeart Radio app and

1022
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: talk back that way as well. I mentioned the Reds

1023
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: and Chick Ludwig will have the inside pitch today. I

1024
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: got it tomorrow after ken Brew. But the Reds, of

1025
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: course are they're on the road. I mentioned it, they're

Speaker 1: in Texas, and I've got your starting lineup if you

1027

1028
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: today and so far no decisions, of course in this

1029
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:44,520

1030

1032
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,239

1033
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: Ellie went deep yesterday. He'll be back at short hitting third.

1034
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: Su Stewart is at first base. He'll be hitting clean up,

1035
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: hopefully bringing some runs home. He Henio Suarez showing some

1036
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: strength with the bat coming around too, looking good. He'll

1037
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: be at third base, hitting fifth. Nathaniel Lowe's the DH

1038
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: hitting six. Spencer Steers in right field. He got himself

1039
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: on and did some damage ester Day two. He'll be

1040
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: in left field, hitting seventh, in front of Will Benson

1041
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,799

1050
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into her head and get her take

1051
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: on where things stand right now with the war on Iran,

1052
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,800
Speaker 1: as our military is in search of and it's a

1053
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: grave situation with one of those flymen on the ground,

1054
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: hopefully not in the hands of the enemy, but hopefully

1055
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,760
Speaker 1: hiding out and waiting to be rescued as that search continues,

1056
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: at least with the latest on that, so we'll see

1057

00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: Mario movie. A lot of people head into the movies

1061

1062
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: into the comic stuff of the Maria brothers. One of

1063
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: they just did a Mario movie not long ago. But

1064
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: people will love it and we'll see how it goes.

1065
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: And of course the other that ties in with what's

00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: going on and what's available in the podcast with Mike

00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:36,720
Speaker 15: Hey, Sterli?

1089
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 3: I'm doing great.

1090
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 15: How about you?

1091
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 2: I'm doing all right.

1092
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate you making time for those who are completely unaware,

1093
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: unplugged and so on. Freestore Food Bank long standing ray

1094
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: of hope and sunshine and an opportunity for a lot

1095
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: of people to get a hand up when they need

1096
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 1: it and also for people to be able to help

1097
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: those in need who are as you want to call it,

1098
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: food insecure in and around the Tri State break down

1099
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 1: what all you guys do and how we can help,

1100
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: because it just starts with the Eastern in front of

1101
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 1: us and pass over happening, and I just it's always

1102
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: one of those times where I start thinking more about others.

1103
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 2: I try to anyway.

1104
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 15: Yeah, the holidays really bring out the best in this

1105
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 15: entire community. But this Tri State community has been supporting

1106
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 15: us for fifty six years and since you know in

1107
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 15: nineteen seventy one when Frank Gerson's opened us up as

1108
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 15: our founder. But we support over six hundred countries in

1109
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 15: twenty counties in our Tri State region. In addition to that,

1110
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 15: we have our Customer Connection Center located and over the

1111
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 15: Rhine where we are meeting the needs through supportive services,

1112
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 15: rental assistants, utility assistants, Snap outreach, Medicaid outreach for so

1113
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 15: many families that are, as you said, need a hand

1114
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 15: up as opposed to hand out. And then we also

1115
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 15: have two workforce training programs that are just they have

1116
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 15: set the standard in the industry. So we have a

1117
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 15: culinary training program it's been going on since two thousand

1118
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 15: and one called Cincinnati Cooks that gets you know, our

1119
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 15: students graduating and getting great jobs in the culinary industry.

1120
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 15: We also have a logistics training program called Lift the

1121
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,800
Speaker 15: tri State and that program has been going on for

1122
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 15: nine years now, and those two and are getting jobs.

1123
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 15: They're getting first of all, they're getting trained in four

1124
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 15: different pieces of equipment in the warehouse and knowing how

1125
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 15: to work as a team, and they're getting great jobs

1126
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 15: twenty five bucks an hour, many with full benefits. So

1127
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 15: you know, it's not only feeding the line that this

1128
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 15: community allows us to do, but it also helps us

1129
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 15: to end the line and really create more economic mobility

1130
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 15: for the families that we're serving.

1131
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 1: It's a pretty amazing thing and the community is so

1132
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,720
Speaker 1: entrenched and involved in this corporate sponsorship. Individuals and everybody

1133
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 1: is sort of taking part in it. Talking to Kurt

1134
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: Raiber Freestore Food Bank of Boss with Sterling seven hundred WLW,

1135
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of curious. Even in the best of

1136
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: times economically, it is astonishing to me how difficult it

1137
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: is for a lot of people to be able to

1138
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: just keep their head above water. And these are not

1139
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: necessarily the best of times going on right now. We

1140
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: cuts to a lot of social services and so on,

1141
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: and things getting much more expensive gas, et cetera. What

1142
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: are you seeing, I mean, because you see a lot

1143
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 1: of stuff sort of like the you know, what are

1144
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: the canary and the coal mine kind of scenario, Kurt,

1145
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: compared to what a lot of others may see just

1146
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: in the every day.

1147
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 15: Yeah, we're seeing more and more new family members that

1148
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 15: are coming to our markets, our Livery Street market, our

1149
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 15: b Taylor Market, and and and they're struggling right now.

1150
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 15: They're trying to, as you said, you know, meet the

1151
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 15: needs of their families. Higher prices, you know, whether it's

1152
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:50,240
Speaker 15: the grocery store, childcare, housing, you name it. Those families

1153
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 15: are up against it and we came through the pandemic.

1154
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 15: You know, most of the families came through and had

1155
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 15: a challenging situation for their entire family because of going

1156
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 15: and burning through their reserves. Now they're faced with these

1157
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 15: higher prices, and that's really something that I think, you know,

1158
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 15: so many families are dealing with right now. That Freestore

1159
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 15: and our panting network is able to provide and that

1160
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 15: really makes a difference for so many families.

1161
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: Something else that's really striking to me, And I can

1162
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 1: remember this when I was a kid at EJ. Brown

1163
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: Elementary and Jefferson Primary School, there are a lot of

1164
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: kids that you'd see them and they'd be hungry, and

1165
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, I would bring a lunch and try to help.

1166
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 1: They had some lunch programs, but there were kids who

1167
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: either didn't qualify their family. I don't know what the

1168
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: circumstance was, and it was devastating to me as a kid.

1169
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: And it's very close to me and my mom came

1170
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: up with not a lot. So it's always look to

1171
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,879
Speaker 1: help people. And I've sort of been around those type

1172
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: of things, and I know with schools, it's challenging. Kids

1173
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 1: can't learn if they're they're bellies aching, and if they're hungry,

1174
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: and if they don't know if they're going to have

1175
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: food when they come home. You are are engaged with

1176
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: the Free Store Food Bank HURT and have been for

1177
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 1: a long time. And a lot of these pantries in

1178
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: and around communities and schools in urban areas, suburban areas,

1179
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 1: rural areas. I mean, everyone is affected by this, and

1180
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: the kids are on the front line.

1181
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 15: They really are. You know, eight out of ten kids

1182
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 15: are eligible for referring and juice lunches. So when they're

1183
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 15: off from the school because of holidays, because of the

1184
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,800
Speaker 15: summer coming up here shortly, they're going home to empty cupboards,

1185
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 15: empty refrigerators. Free Store has not only have we have

1186
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 15: three different programs that support kids. One is our power

1187
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 15: pack program pack. We had, you know, a group of

1188
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 15: volunteers this afternoon working at our community Resource and Distribution

1189
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 15: center packing power packs. We packed over twelve hundred power

1190
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 15: packs for kids right here in our community, making a

1191
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 15: difference for them each and every day. Because eight out

1192
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,720
Speaker 15: of ten kids are eligible for free and reduced lunches.

1193
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 15: So when they're out of school, they're going home and

1194
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 15: not getting their breakfast and not getting their lunch. So

1195
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 15: that's where Free Store Food Bank and our six hundred

1196
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 15: plus pantry help support that effort day in and day out,

1197
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 15: and this community has rallied behind us and allowed us

1198
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 15: to really make a difference for the families that we're serving.

1199
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 15: And we just can't thank this trasticcalient community enough for

1200
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 15: that time going and continued support.

1201
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: I tell you, your multitasking is tremendous. I can barely

1202
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: I mean people joke about the chewing gum and walking

1203
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: at the same time, lit alone talking and I hear

1204
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: you like you're doing a little of everything and getting

1205
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: all the you know, the information out incredibly and dealing

1206
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: with my questions. So I really appreciate that. Talking to

1207
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: Kurt Ryber, Freestore Food Bank boss with Sterling on the

1208
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,919
Speaker 1: big one. How can people I mean, you can choose

1209
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 1: sort of like one of those books where you get

1210
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: to choose your own ending or path. I want whichever

1211
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: one you want to talk about first, either how people

1212
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: can lend a hand or how people can get a

1213
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: hand and a little bit of help right now, because

1214
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: both things are I mean, sometimes you're on both sides

1215
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: of it. And I know for a fact I've seen

1216
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: people and engage with people who have been both on

1217
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: sides of it too. Sometimes because if you're very sensitive

1218
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: and familiar with what it's like to go without, you're

1219
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 1: a lot of times quicker to be able to lend

1220
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: a hand because you know you don't want anyone else

1221
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: to navigate that feeling.

1222
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 15: Yes, certainly, I tell you it's a different side of

1223
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 15: the same coin. And that's why I said is that

1224
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 15: people can go to freestore foodbank dot org if they

1225
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 15: need assistance, they can click on guilt get Help Now

1226
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 15: and really allow them to find a pantry that's close

1227
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 15: to them, or they can come to one of our markets.

1228
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 15: Our Livery Street Market Isn't over the Rhine very accessible

1229
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 15: Monday through Friday from eight o'clock in the morning to

1230
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 15: four o'clock in the afternoon. Our detailing market we just

1231
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 15: closed down this afternoon, but we're open Tuesday through Saturday

1232
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 15: nine to five during the week, and on Saturdays we're

1233
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 15: open up from ten o'clock in the morning to three

1234
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 15: o'clock in the afternoon. Basically, seventy five percent of the

1235
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 15: families that we serve, our working families, they're just not

1236
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 15: making enough money to make ends meet. When it comes

1237
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 15: to meet the needs of all their family members. So

1238
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 15: if folks need help, go to Freestorefoodbank dot org. But

1239
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 15: also we had over seventy volunteers today. It came through,

1240
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 15: packed our senior boxes, packed our power packs, and gave

1241
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 15: of their time during this holiday weekend. And that's tremendous

1242
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 15: because we have one hundred and forty amazing team members

1243
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 15: that are on the front line of hunger each network,

1244
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 15: each every day with the Free Store Food Bank. But

1245
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 15: we have over twelve thousand volunteers that provide eighty five

1246
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 15: thousand hours of volunteer service and I can't you know,

1247
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 15: I can't thank them enough for giving of their time

1248
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 15: but also their treasure. We have folks that have rallied

1249
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 15: behind the work that we do and really make a

1250
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:37,479
Speaker 15: difference by giving of themselves and of their treasure. Every

1251
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:39,439
Speaker 15: dollar that comes in the Free Store of Food Bank,

1252
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 15: we can provide the equivalent of three meals, and ninety

1253
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 15: four percent out of all the resources we get in,

1254
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 15: whether it's in kind or monetary, go directly to the

1255
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 15: families that we serve right here at Tristate Neighbor and

1256
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 15: that neighbor's helping neighbors.

1257
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 2: Exactly correct.

1258
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things I think a lot

1259
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 1: of people like, you know, the first thing you look

1260
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: for when you look at a charitable donation and organization

1261
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 1: that you're going to work with is where that money goes.

1262
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: And you, guys, that would not be around as long

1263
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 1: as you've been doing as much good as you do

1264
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: with the teaming with individuals and corporate sponsors and so

1265
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: on helping people in the Try State if you weren't

1266
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, doing it the right way. Something else here

1267
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:14,919
Speaker 1: I want to I don't know if this is still

1268
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 1: in I just seen this. It was yesterday, I think,

1269
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 1: or maybe it was this morning. The double your Dollar

1270
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: donation is that today going on still?

1271
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 15: That's going on this coming weekend. But people can do

1272
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 15: go to our website right now free stir fooit bank

1273
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 15: cate org and click on the double your Dollars Day

1274
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 15: and those every donation they make we doubled. And that's

1275
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 15: really a tremendous way for us to you know, take

1276
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 15: one dollar and make it six dollars because some one

1277
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 15: of our donors, our second helping donors, have helped you know,

1278
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 15: you know, provide that matching donation and that's really something

1279
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 15: that has just really allowed us to leverage the resource

1280
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 15: that we get in each and every day.

1281
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 1: Surely it's pretty amazing. And I know you somehow. I

1282
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: don't know who else can budget the way you do.

1283
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the amount of meals for a dollar or

1284
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 1: five dollars is spectacle killer. And to be able to

1285
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: donate and have it doubled thanks to it was at

1286
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: Dick and Bert roh rare.

1287
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 2: How do you say it? I had it right the

1288
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 2: first time.

1289
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: That's rare. Usually I screw up, all right. So Dick

1290
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: and Bert Rhor obviously helping to contribute by doubling those dollars,

1291
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: and that's ad Freestorefoodbank dot org. What have I not

1315
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 1: been doing this for a while, so it's good to

1316
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: be able to step away and relax and carry the

1317
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: torch or pass it on to somebody else. So there

1318
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: you go again. The website Freestore Food Bank dot org.

01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 5: Shirley.

1323
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 15: Great to talk with you, and happy holidays everybody out there.

1324
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 2: And WLW there you.

1325
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 1: Go, man, Thank you, appreciate what you're doing and glad

1326
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 1: that you could just contributing. And that's the thing that

1327
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 1: the community and I missed that rubber duck or God,

1328
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: and they've been doing it virtually, but I mean, that's

1329
01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 1: really one of the things that the kids love too

1330
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 1: and be able to help and lend a hand.

1331
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 2: Quote break.

1332
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 1: We'll come back on the other side before the five

1333
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 1: o'clock report. I'm gonna talk about something I heard about this.

1334
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 1: I went to school with a kid who was in

1335
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: a house like this, and it's naked moms. It's a

1336
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: naked mom theory. Apparently it's a way of dealing with

1337
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: growing up in a home that is different than any

1338
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: home that I lived in. But I've seen it and

1339
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: some moms may be more than others. I'll explain on

1340
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: the other side. More Sterling seven hundred WLW. E regularly

1341
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 1: friends would go over and it would just sling poo

1342
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: with people.

1343
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:36,280
Speaker 2: It was a nightmare.

1344
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: And I hope that monkey found freedom in a good

1345
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: place to live out these days. There was another friend

1346
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 1: named Todd, and we go to his house and a

1347
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: lot of my friends were like pre teenage, ten, eleven,

1348
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 1: twelve years old or so. By the way, it's sterling,

1349
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 1: How are you good to hang out with? You appreciate

1350
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 1: you making some time on a Saturday afternoon, seven hundred WLW,

1351
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 1: A couple of minutes away from your five o'clock report,

1352
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 1: Doctor Donnad Schlake going to join us on the other

1353
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 1: side for political science at right state. Now, Professor Merritt

1354
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: are going to talk about her Ron got Kevin Carr

1355
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 1: with some movie stuff. Now back to the Todds. So

1356
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: one Todd was the monkey poo flinging Todd with that guy,

1357
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: and then there was the other guy, and you would

1358
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: go to his house and my friends started to want

1359
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 1: to go there like all the time. And I couldn't

1360
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 1: figure out what the hell the big deal was. And

1361
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 1: it turns out and I didn't know they had given

1362
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 1: it a name, and someone sent me this in the

1363
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 1: last week to ten days and I just had not

1364
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 1: had a chance to bring it up. And I had

1365
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:31,439
Speaker 1: a few minutes and maybe this is not the good time,

1366
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 1: because there's limited time. But what apparently that household and

1367
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know because they hadn't given it a name yet.

1368
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: His house was a naked mom house. And all I'm

1369
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 1: going to tell you is about this that. And he

1370
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: had like a sister too. I think she was maybe

1371
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: a year or two older, and you know, I thought

1372
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 1: she was hot and all. But apparently the mom would

1373
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 1: would run around in underwear or nearly naked a lot

1374
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 1: of the time when nobody else but the family was around.

1375
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:02,959
Speaker 1: I don't know if the rest of the family was naked,

1376
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 1: now that I think about it. I had a lot

1377
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: of questions that I should have asked that I didn't

1378
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: because I was just sort of taken back by the

1379
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: whole thing. And mom was like, I don't know if

1380
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: you necessarily need to be over there. What do you

1381
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: mean the mom's naked? I said, the mom's naked a.

1382
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 2: Lot of the time.

1383
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 1: But apparently it's a whole concept, it's a whole thing.

1384
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: In the last in these years since then, more and

1385
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: more people are doing this where they're just naked at

1386
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 1: the house.

1387
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 4: I mean, it was.

1388
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: Difficult for me to wrap my brain around that window

1389
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 1: of time when it was I had friends and family

1390
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 1: who were like, take your shoes off at the door,

1391
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: come in, We're a no shoes house. There's some slippers

1392
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 1: at the door. They'd embrace that concept, and I get it.

1393
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 1: That makes great sense to me. I'm a fan of that,

1394
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: because you know you've been walking around outside. Why track

1395
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 1: all that crap through the rest of your home. I

1396
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: totally understand the naked mom thing. It's they say, it's

1397
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 1: good for girls to be comfortable with their body. It's

1398
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: a non sexual nudity, is the way they describe it

1399
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 1: in practice. I looked it up because I wanted to

1400
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:06,959
Speaker 1: know more about this before I mentioned it on the show,

1401
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 1: and I wish that I had had more questions and

1402
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: had conversations with Todd's mom at the time. I don't

1403
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: know if she was just you know, coming out of

1404
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: the summer of love in the seventies and early eighties

1405
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 1: and that was just her comfort zone.

1406
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1407
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 1: Remember, I don't even remember seeing Todd's dad around a lot,

1408
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: so I don't know. She was a fine enough looking woman.

1409
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 1: But as I start thinking about it, getting up in

1410
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 1: years like middle school to high school, that would have

1411
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: been a very odd and unusual circumstance. And the daughter

1412
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 1: Todd's older sister. I don't recall her running around in

1413
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:45,440
Speaker 1: her underwear or nearly naked at the house. I probably

1414
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 1: at that age would have been hanging around more regularly.

1415
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how regularly this is done by people.

1416
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how much this has been embraced. I'm

1417
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: just curious, have you do you live in a naked house?

1418
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 1: Do you live with a naked mom? I mean, we're

1419
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 1: all naked under our clothes, but I just this is

1420
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: an odd kind of a scenario. And again, it's it's

1421
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 1: like the there was wasn't there a newdist colony or

1422
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 1: two in and around the tri State here going back

1423
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: to the early two thousands that got a lot of attention.

1424
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:19,959
Speaker 1: I remember that being in the news at some point.

1425
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 1: I remember people calling me here on the Big One

1426
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: some years ago talking about being in the nudist colony scenario.

1427
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 1: And everybody you talk to about it, they go, it's

1428
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 1: not a sexual thing. It's just a liberating, free thing,

1429
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 1: and people shouldn't be so you know, tied up and

1430
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: and pent up and fixated on Russ.

1431
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 2: Jackson and just an ad Myers. Oh no, it's sexual.

1432
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 2: I would imagine for some it would have to be.

1433
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 1: I can't imagine you being in the situation aside from

1434
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, you got to carry a towel around. You

1435
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: can't even go to the gym after New Year's with

1436
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 1: and I'm not like a big gym goer, but I'd

1437
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 1: like to go occasionally. You can't get people to towel

1438
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 1: off the equipment and their clothes. However, sweaty at the gym.

1439
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: Now take it to another level. I don't necessarily mean

1440
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 1: in the naked mom house needing to carry a towel

1441
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 1: around because of like sweat and nastiness. But you think

1442
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 1: about the you know, at the newdist colony. I mean,

1443
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 1: there's a whole lot of I got a lot of questions.

1444
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't know who the hell has any answers. I

1445
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:26,600
Speaker 1: don't know if we need to call or Willie on

1446
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 1: this or otherwise.

1447
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,679
Speaker 2: I don't know. Listen, reach out at.

1448
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 1: Sterling radio on ex Twitter, call it what you want,

1449
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:36,640
Speaker 1: the talkback feature, the iHeartRadio app, click on the microphone,

1450
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: leave a message there. I would like to hear from

1451
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: anyone who's living this naked life, because you can't normally

1452
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: just run naked around the community, right It wasn't that

1453
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 1: long ago. There was somebody who got arrested. There was

1454
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 1: a woman who was a mowing lawns her lawn on

1455
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 1: a riding mower, topless, like in a bikini situation, and

1456
01:08:57,560 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 1: people were all up in arms on that. And I've

1457
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 1: find that interesting as I'll get out. But I don't

1458
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 1: know that one is the same as the other. So

1459
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 1: I'm just curious.

1460
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1461
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm comfortable with myself naked on

1462
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,679
Speaker 1: my own now that I think about it, I've shared

1463
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: way too much. All right, we'll come correct in time

1464
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: for news. Your five o'clock report is straight away. Where

1465
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 1: are you naked moms?

1466
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

1467
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes the nakedness leads to being a mother, you know

1468
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 1: what I mean? I mean in some fashion, I mean

1469
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 1: a one step after another, things happened. I was a

1470
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 1: two percent pill baby, so I mean, you know what

1471
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 1: do w I know? Doctor Donna Schleke, on the other side,

1472
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 1: former had a political science at Right State, joined us.

1473
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:39,679
Speaker 1: The show helped break down the situation and iron where

1474
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,600
Speaker 1: we stand now with that missing airman and as a

1475
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 1: conflict continues with the war and the Middle East and

1476
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,439
Speaker 1: the straight of horn moves and the rising prices of

1477
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:50,560
Speaker 1: oil and food and everything else associated with it. I

1478
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 1: don't mean to be the prophet of who. And Kevin

1479
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:54,719
Speaker 1: Carr in the distance too, talking movies hang out. Another

1480
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 1: hour to go before Chick Ludwig in Red's Baseball on

1481
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,080
Speaker 1: the road in Texas to take on the range. Her

1482
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:04,640
Speaker 1: home of the retch was Sterling News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati.

1483
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 1: Final Hour Together find Saturday afternoons Sterling Easter weekend, pass

1484
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: over happening right about now, and war continuing in the

1485
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 1: skies above Iran and in the Middle East to destroy

1486
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:21,679
Speaker 1: to horror moves and a search for a down airman.

1487
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:28,639
Speaker 1: Two jets hit yesterday by Iran. One pilot rescued, another

1488
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 1: got to Kuwait somehow in the midst of that situation

1489
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 1: in one of those jets. And it's gotten to care,

1490
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 1: which is a good thing kind and I have to

1491
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:36,920
Speaker 1: give us some time. It's been a while, and I'm

1492
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 1: hoping things are good with doctor Donald Shchlike. She's a

1493
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 1: former head of political science at Wright State now Professor Merridath.

1494
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 2: It's been a while. I hope you're doing okay. Everything's

1495
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 2: good with the family. How are you doing okay.

1496
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 10: It's good to hear from you, and as usual, things

1497
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 10: are interesting out there.

1498
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:56,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting times, which is of course what a family

1499
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 1: friend when I was little, who had been through the

1500
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 1: Holocaust told me, hope that we never lived through the

1501
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 1: interesting times or anything like they had, and we are

1502
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 1: in a different set of interesting times. What is your

1503
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: take on where we are right now with this war?

1504
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 1: And some people have gone, oh, you can't call it

1505
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 1: a war, but if I don't know, I don't know

1506
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 1: what else you call it. Accept that right now with

1507
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 1: a missing airman on the ground right now being searched

1508
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 1: for and obviously worried about them ending up in enemy hands.

1509
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:29,040
Speaker 10: Yes, if we're talking about, you know, another potential prisoner

1510
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:34,799
Speaker 10: of war or another hostage situation between the US and Iran,

1511
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:40,799
Speaker 10: it is another really, really disturbing turn. It's I'm beginning

1512
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,599
Speaker 10: to appreciate that there's always going to be a balance

1513
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 10: of extremes and President Trump's presidency. On the one hand,

1514
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 10: he has helped reactivate the US space program. Right we

1515
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 10: have a crew on its way, it's already heading into

1516
01:11:56,560 --> 01:12:00,080
Speaker 10: a lunar orbit, and it would just shut down for

1517
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 10: the Moon landings ended in seventy two. And yet on

1518
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 10: the other hand, in foreign affairs, we have a war

1519
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 10: of choice, a preemptive strike, you concern over the nuclear materials.

1520
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 10: And yet I am so reminded Sterling of the quote

1521
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 10: I heard an Afghan war veteran say once, you had

1522
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:27,679
Speaker 10: a meeting with a member of the Taliban who pointed

1523
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 10: to the watch on the soldier's arm and he's and

1524
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 10: he said, you have the watch, but we have all

1525
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 10: the time. And I think you and I both appreciate

1526
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 10: Americans are an impatient people and the idea of another

1527
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 10: very long or a forever war, which of course President

1528
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 10: Trump campaigned against. That is why so many people left

1529
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 10: right middle of the spectrum wherever you are. They all

1530
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 10: want to know what is the plan, what is the timeline.

1531
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:02,600
Speaker 10: But what they're really asking is, you know, do we

1532
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 10: have a plan, do we have a plan for success?

1533
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:11,320
Speaker 10: And is there an exit strategy. I'm really struck by

1534
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 10: how those painful lessons from Lebanon that Colin Powell used

1535
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:19,640
Speaker 10: to talk to presidents about that you don't get in

1536
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 10: one if you can possibly avoid it without the support

1537
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:26,680
Speaker 10: of your public, without Congress, you know, without all the

1538
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:30,840
Speaker 10: means to accomplish it being willing to change your strategy

1539
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 10: and to have an exit strategy. So we are breaking

1540
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 10: just about every one of the rules of the game.

1541
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:42,920
Speaker 10: If we've learned anything from our previous interventions, I'm going

1542
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 10: to call it an intervention sterling. And we appear to

1543
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:51,600
Speaker 10: be trying to use massive military force to accomplish some

1544
01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 10: objectives that are going to require some politics and some diplomacy.

1545
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 10: So there's this great disconnect. The Iranian can wait and suffer,

1546
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 10: the American public will not, and certainly the international price

1547
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:12,560
Speaker 10: of of of obviously fossil fuel fertilizers. I mean, you

1548
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 10: know helium, you know the scope of damage, the rolling

1549
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:21,800
Speaker 10: damage across all of our energy intensive economies is just

1550
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 10: going to get worse. The market is on track to

1551
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 10: close it at a four year you know low in

1552
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:31,960
Speaker 10: terms of how far it may be coming down. So

1553
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 10: there is such a disconnect. When I first got involved

1554
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 10: in representing the faculty to the administration, one of the

1555
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 10: best pieces of advice I heard from the President the time,

1556
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 10: who is Kim Goldenberg. He said, the best way to

1557
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 10: govern or even to represent people is always under promise

1558
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 10: and over deliver. And the Iranian intervention at this point

1559
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 10: in time looks like a lot of over promising. And

1560
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,680
Speaker 10: you know, we have a deadline of Monday. If the

1561
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:09,679
Speaker 10: strait of hormones is not opened. President Trump is promising

1562
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:14,680
Speaker 10: massive retaliation. So I'm sort of holding my breath. Are

1563
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 10: we going to have another tariff? You know, the tariff

1564
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,560
Speaker 10: is off, or the tariff is down, or you know,

1565
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 10: are we going back to that? But we have a

1566
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 10: lot of Americans who've been dispatched. I've told you, I

1567
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 10: think I said on the air, I had a family

1568
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 10: member involved in eighty three dispatched to go up to

1569
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 10: Beirut when the two hundred and forty one Marines were

1570
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 10: killed there as they slept in their dormitory.

1571
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:41,640
Speaker 3: You know.

1572
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:44,680
Speaker 10: So the connections go way back. My heart goes out

1573
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:47,799
Speaker 10: to all the people on active duty and their families.

1574
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 10: A lot of people from the right state area up

1575
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 10: around right. Pat we're connected to the six casual the

1576
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 10: people six people who died earlier in March. So it

1577
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:03,759
Speaker 10: is it has not been well explained to the public

1578
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 10: with a timeline. We've just seen headsets fire. The chief

1579
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 10: of staff of the Army. That's just never a good sign,

1580
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 10: right because you know who does the heavy lifting marines

1581
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:19,720
Speaker 10: and soldiers in the army. If we do have to

1582
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 10: do a land incursion that is such a red line

1583
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 10: for the American public. I don't think any political scientists

1584
01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 10: could overestimate for you what a big line that will

1585
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:34,719
Speaker 10: be if we hear Americans are landing on Irani and soil.

1586
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 10: I dread that. I think we must avoid that.

1587
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 1: I hope that we do, doctor donashchl like, by the way,

1588
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:43,719
Speaker 1: as the former head of political science at Right State

1589
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 1: now Professor Amerita, was sterling on the Big One talking

1590
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:49,600
Speaker 1: about what's going on in Iran, and you mentioned the

1591
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:53,720
Speaker 1: politics of this effectively because you have the public here Stateside,

1592
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:57,800
Speaker 1: who the president works for and our interest, and of

1593
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:00,120
Speaker 1: course then there's the rest of the world in the

1594
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 1: public nature of propaganda and intimidation and negotiation that is

1595
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 1: different than what is going in back channels between Pakistan

1596
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 1: and whoever else is helping with communication to Iran from

1597
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 1: the US as well as for Israel. Doctor Slack, I'm curious,

1598
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 1: as you mentioned that, I don't know how you're not

1599
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 1: going to have more boots on the ground to go

1600
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: after the lost airmen. And I don't know how if

1601
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:26,640
Speaker 1: they were talking about one of the goals was to

1602
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 1: eliminate the nuclear threat. Then accomplishing that goal would be

1603
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 1: to acquire the nuclear materials or dispose of them in

1604
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 1: some fashion. How is that done without men and women

1605
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:41,600
Speaker 1: in uniform on the ground.

1606
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 10: It can't be done. I don't think it can be done.

1607
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 10: I don't think there's any avoiding it if we choose

1608
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 10: a military approach to addressing that problem, the nuclear problem.

1609
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:58,879
Speaker 10: And I think you're very very right to focus You're

1610
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 10: very right there. You have two options. You can you

1611
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:04,200
Speaker 10: can try a military strike, you know, to seize all

1612
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 10: of this, what nine hundred pounds of enriched uranium, or

1613
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 10: you could try a negotiated approach with inspections and you know,

1614
01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 10: ultimately to you know, be able to have some verification

1615
01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 10: of the fact that Iran will not, you know, try

1616
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 10: to once again go nuclear. But Sterling, the problem is,

1617
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 10: the technology is out there. Iran has plenty of engineers

1618
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 10: who can rebuild it from scratch if needed. That that

1619
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 10: even that is not going to be a long term

1620
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:41,839
Speaker 10: solution without the diplomatic part. And I won't go into

1621
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 10: it at length, but I will remind you and your

1622
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 10: listeners we had an agreement with Iran in twenty fifteen

1623
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 10: to inspect their sites and to verify that they were

1624
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:55,479
Speaker 10: complying with non enrichment of uranium.

1625
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 2: Was that working?

1626
01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 1: We had because we'd heard that it was working from

1627
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:00,720
Speaker 1: some of sarty interrupt actor slag. But that is a

1628
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:03,680
Speaker 1: pivotal thing. And I've had a conversation that has escalated

1629
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 1: into argument with people that I know who have served,

1630
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:09,519
Speaker 1: who were in conflicts just in the last twenty years,

1631
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,720
Speaker 1: going back to Afghanistan and a Rock and so on,

1632
01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:17,599
Speaker 1: and people both on both sides of that argument who

1633
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 1: have served, saying one hand that they thought it was working,

1634
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 1: in another saying that it clearly wasn't working and something

1635
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 1: had to be done. And these are people who were

1636
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 1: involved in some fashion in that endeavor. So I know

1637
01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 1: enough to know why I don't know enough, So I

1638
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:34,200
Speaker 1: ask you, was it working? Who can we believe? Because

1639
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 1: we've heard so many different stories and varying stories of

1640
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 1: success and effectiveness of that going back years now.

1641
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 10: Well, the inspection teams and the people who worked on

1642
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:52,520
Speaker 10: those inspection teams, many Americans military scientists had worked previously

1643
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 10: in Russia when they were decommissioning, a lot of their sites.

1644
01:19:57,800 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 10: The five countries that signed up off on that joint

1645
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 10: Comprehensive Plan of action, the US, China, Russia, US, Britain

1646
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:11,640
Speaker 10: and France all accepted that it was working. So the

1647
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,560
Speaker 10: states that had signed on to it accepted that it

1648
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:19,200
Speaker 10: was working. We tore it up in twenty eighteen. It ended,

1649
01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 10: so that conversation, I think will always continue. Verification. Ronald Reagan,

1650
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:30,880
Speaker 10: you know, talked to you know, trust, but verify. But

1651
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:34,160
Speaker 10: those really are the two pretty stark choices in front

1652
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:38,120
Speaker 10: of us. A military option to try to seize the uranium.

1653
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 10: It will cost lives and it will not stop Iran

1654
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:46,320
Speaker 10: in the future from doing the same thing again.

1655
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:51,240
Speaker 1: I have a difficult question here, and this is going

1656
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:55,280
Speaker 1: to sound horrible, but it is a reality of the

1657
01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:57,519
Speaker 1: world in which we live. There are a lot of

1658
01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:00,640
Speaker 1: people right now that are very dissatisfied and unhappy with

1659
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 1: this engagement that we are involved in, and feel that

1660
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 1: they had not had it explained to us that the

1661
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:08,200
Speaker 1: story has changed time and time again. Wait, there'll be

1662
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:10,400
Speaker 1: a post later that'll say something different than what we

1663
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 1: heard earlier today. And I think that it is a

1664
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:17,479
Speaker 1: legitimate complaint by the public, and so on. The other

1665
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 1: side of it is because it isn't a public propaganda

1666
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:25,160
Speaker 1: game between US and Iran and others out there, that

1667
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:27,920
Speaker 1: it is probably hard to have us be told what

1668
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:31,040
Speaker 1: the truth is because there's other stuff going on in

1669
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 1: intimidation and negotiation and everything else that is the muscle

1670
01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:37,679
Speaker 1: of the US and Israeli army and military going full

1671
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 1: on against Iran to some point. So as we look

1672
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:43,040
Speaker 1: at this and we try to make sense of it,

1673
01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:50,880
Speaker 1: it just don't think anybody is anything except supportive of

1674
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 1: our men and women in uniform. And we value that

1675
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 1: sacrifice and that willingness to put themselves on the line.

1676
01:21:57,520 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 1: But you don't want it wasted. We don't want it

1677
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 1: a distraction. We don't want it done as a political

1678
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, a game for one of a better way

1679
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 1: to describe it. And a president that had a competitor

1680
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 1: and running for office against him at one point that

1681
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 1: he called a loser who was a prisoner of war

1682
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 1: for a long time, who was a flyboy for these

1683
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:22,720
Speaker 1: United States and John McCain and I got to tell you,

1684
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 1: having a commander in chief with that attitude then to

1685
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:28,800
Speaker 1: somehow change it now and be believable is not a

1686
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 1: lot of credibility.

1687
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 10: And credibility confidence in the public. If you are dispatching

1688
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 10: your troops to a mission, you know, solidarity of public opinion.

1689
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 10: That seems to be one of those. It's the top

1690
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 10: of your checklist if you're going to be dispatching Americans

1691
01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:52,679
Speaker 10: into such uncertainty. All of the previous presidents who might

1692
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:57,880
Speaker 10: have considered doing something about Iran, President Trump has mentioned

1693
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:01,719
Speaker 10: them quite often. Do you not suspect that every single

1694
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:04,719
Speaker 10: one of them was warned that the Straits of Hormuz

1695
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 10: would be closed?

1696
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems pretty and we.

1697
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 10: See we seem to be a couple of months before

1698
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:15,400
Speaker 10: this started, we decommissioned a bunch of minesweepers, uh that

1699
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 10: that had been stationed out in that area. So there

1700
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 10: are good reasons to doubt that, you know, the planning

1701
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 10: was there an over overly confident And we won't worry

1702
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 10: about the Straits of Hormuz because our domestic production, you know,

1703
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 10: is leading the world.

1704
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:32,800
Speaker 6: That is true.

1705
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:36,120
Speaker 10: That is a fact. Another sad fact is the fact

1706
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:39,560
Speaker 10: that petroleum is priced on a global basis, isn't it.

1707
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:42,920
Speaker 10: And if you're an American lifting if you're an American

1708
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:45,760
Speaker 10: company lifting oil in the United States. What do you

1709
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 10: want to sell your oil at what?

1710
01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 5: At what price?

1711
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 2: As much as possible, all day, every.

1712
01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:51,920
Speaker 12: Day, every day.

1713
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 3: Uh.

1714
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:55,559
Speaker 10: And we all know what happens with the price of oil.

1715
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 10: What is the lesson? It goes up like a rocket

1716
01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 10: and the price will come down like a feather. And

1717
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 10: we are seeing now you know it's not just gasoline prices.

1718
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 10: Everything that you buy practically has been brought to you

1719
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:11,960
Speaker 10: or brought to a shop near you by a truck

1720
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:15,400
Speaker 10: burning diesel fuel. Take a look at the diesel prices

1721
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:17,840
Speaker 10: next time you tank up. It's about a dollar and

1722
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:21,200
Speaker 10: a half above the price of gasoline right now. If

1723
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:25,080
Speaker 10: you're a farmer wanting to plant fertilizers anywhere in that

1724
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:28,400
Speaker 10: part of the world, we're going to have probably hunger

1725
01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:31,200
Speaker 10: and possibly famine issues that result from this as well.

1726
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:35,960
Speaker 10: The Straits of Hormuz, when I look at the history

1727
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:38,919
Speaker 10: of the region, is probably one of the leading reasons

1728
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:42,560
Speaker 10: why any president before Trump who even looked at a

1729
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:47,360
Speaker 10: plan to strike you wron Sigmo, because we learned those

1730
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:50,200
Speaker 10: painful lessons in seventy three and seventy four. When the

1731
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:54,839
Speaker 10: embargo hit, they knew that we're going to be vulnerable

1732
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:58,880
Speaker 10: to terrible shocks. So if they knew the straits of

1733
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:02,720
Speaker 10: Hormus could be easy the closed, which Iran has demonstrated

1734
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:07,760
Speaker 10: very successfully, And why do we not have a plan

1735
01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:11,439
Speaker 10: for that? You know, Iran is about twice the size

1736
01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 10: of texts.

1737
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 2: That's big, I mean big, that's big.

1738
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:19,400
Speaker 10: Can you imagine trying to take military control of a

1739
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 10: piece of property that big?

1740
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 1: It's fine an undertaking what it works. We're short on time,

1741
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:28,080
Speaker 1: and it may be impossible to answer this. And uh,

1742
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:29,920
Speaker 1: I mean, we want these men and women to come

1743
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,600
Speaker 1: home safe. We want this conflict ended, we want it

1744
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:35,200
Speaker 1: to be a success. So at this point, here's the question.

1745
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 1: What is a successful end to this engagement for the

1746
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:41,760
Speaker 1: United States and the world for that matter, And most

1747
01:25:41,800 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 1: of all, of course we worry about us, but it's

1748
01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 1: all interconnected.

1749
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:49,760
Speaker 10: Well, Wednesday, when I listened to the President's remarks, I

1750
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 10: was hoping that he would offer us one of those

1751
01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:58,040
Speaker 10: brilliant Donald Trump pivots. And I've got a new idea

1752
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:00,599
Speaker 10: on on you know, what we're going.

1753
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:00,720
Speaker 3: To do.

1754
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,800
Speaker 10: NATO, which behind the scenes, is of course actually now

1755
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:08,799
Speaker 10: working to try to you know, put an escort program together,

1756
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:12,840
Speaker 10: maybe to reopen the straits, perhaps with Russia, but I

1757
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 10: would guess with China right now that you know, one

1758
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:18,479
Speaker 10: of the biggest customers of Iran. I was hoping for

1759
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:22,599
Speaker 10: a Trump pivot, yep, and I think that's what he's

1760
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 10: going to have to do. Whether it can be creative

1761
01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 10: and invoke you know, a political settlement and avoid the

1762
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 10: dispatch of troops. That would be at this point what

1763
01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 10: I would call a win if he can get the

1764
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:42,320
Speaker 10: straits of Horrormus reopened and perhaps some conversations about putting

1765
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 10: that fissile material under observation and quarantine until something called

1766
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 10: a cease fire, and perhaps you know, a new relationship

1767
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:55,960
Speaker 10: with Iran can be created. It's time for a Trump pivot.

1768
01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:56,680
Speaker 5: Uh.

1769
01:26:56,880 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 10: That's where I'm putting my hopes. At this point. November

1770
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:02,799
Speaker 10: will be upon us very shortly.

1771
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 3: You know.

1772
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 10: Politicians are, they're doing the calculus between now and then

1773
01:27:07,080 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 10: as well. People will be studying both the White House

1774
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 10: and what Congress does, looking at a nice big, you know,

1775
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:16,720
Speaker 10: defense package in front of it right now as well.

1776
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:21,400
Speaker 10: Not what I would call ideal timing, but let us

1777
01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 10: hold that thought for the safe return of all the

1778
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:29,639
Speaker 10: people who've you been sent there over the last month

1779
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:34,439
Speaker 10: or so and a brilliant pivot. And perhaps that will

1780
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 10: qualify President Trump for that Nobel prize that he seems

1781
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:39,680
Speaker 10: to have been so interested in.

1782
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:40,360
Speaker 2: Let's hope.

1783
01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:42,000
Speaker 1: So we'll leave it there. It's always good to talk

1784
01:27:42,040 --> 01:27:43,639
Speaker 1: to you. I hope things are good with the family.

1785
01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:46,599
Speaker 1: Doctor Donna Schleheck former had a political science and our

1786
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:49,639
Speaker 1: professor Maria Wright State University. She is a Cincinnati kid.

1787
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:51,080
Speaker 1: Thank you for doing what you do and making time

1788
01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 1: for us. We'll catch up again.

1789
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:55,280
Speaker 10: So thanks night, good night.

1790
01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 2: It's good to talk to you.

1791
01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:58,200
Speaker 1: A quick break, actually, we get your five thirty news

1792
01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 1: reports us straight away. More Sterling all before Chick steps in.

1793
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:03,920
Speaker 1: Red's Baseball down the line as well. Seven hundred WLW

1794
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 1: the distance Brenderman and Jones on baseball, Chick Ludwig, get

1795
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:12,639
Speaker 1: you ready with the inside pitch. Reds and Rangers from Arlington, Texas.

1796
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 1: Rech look to make it back to back wins over

1797
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:17,920
Speaker 1: those Rangers and take a series win their first a

1798
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,880
Speaker 1: road trip of the season too. Russ Jackson hanging out

1799
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:24,040
Speaker 1: with me, got a I think Brady's got news again

1800
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 1: in about nineteen minutes or so. And yeah, so look

1801
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:30,800
Speaker 1: the final four is going on, Indianapolis, it's happening. And

1802
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:33,559
Speaker 1: you got that going on, and you got the Reds

1803
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:35,160
Speaker 1: on the road, you got e f C. Cincinnati on

1804
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:37,760
Speaker 1: the road. You think about people traveling. I was talking

1805
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:40,120
Speaker 1: to Russ off the air about this, and when Mike

1806
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:43,559
Speaker 1: wall On earlier talking about well, you know the Orion

1807
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:47,400
Speaker 1: capsule spacecraft that's up this isinging around the moon and

1808
01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:50,120
Speaker 1: then coming back home again. And I started thinking then

1809
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:52,560
Speaker 1: about like coming back, going back to the moon is

1810
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,000
Speaker 1: we hope to do in a short period of time,

1811
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:58,920
Speaker 1: sooner than later? And I think, okay, well, man, you know,

1812
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 1: how can you go someplace and not really soak up

1813
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 1: all the good stuff all the things that are like

1814
01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:08,599
Speaker 1: worth checking out someplace when you're traveling or whatever. Right,

1815
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 1: And Michael Collins is a name that not necessarily everyone knows.

1816
01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 1: They think Neil Armstrong, buzz Aldrin, Apollo eleven, touching down

1817
01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:19,400
Speaker 1: on the Moon, hitting golf balls, playing in the sand,

1818
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 1: and so on. Michael Collins never got to leave that

1819
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:26,840
Speaker 1: skat capsule until he got back home again. So he

1820
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:28,479
Speaker 1: went all the way to the moon and never went

1821
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:31,640
Speaker 1: out to see anything, which is weird as hell to me.

1822
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:35,800
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering, where have you gone? Because I've talked

1823
01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:39,559
Speaker 1: to a lot of music makers, touring rock bands, artists, etc.

1824
01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:42,439
Speaker 1: Over the years, and regularly what they'll tell me, and

1825
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:44,799
Speaker 1: you think, Okay, well, you're a rock star, you're traveling

1826
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:47,560
Speaker 1: the world, you're playing Heritage Bank Center, River Bend, and

1827
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:51,000
Speaker 1: you're maybe in Indianapolis and then on the road and

1828
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:53,120
Speaker 1: then around the world, and you talk to him and

1829
01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:55,200
Speaker 1: go what's your favorite place? And they go, well, finally,

1830
01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:56,960
Speaker 1: when I get a chance to vacation, we do this

1831
01:29:57,120 --> 01:29:59,760
Speaker 1: or that. We don't see anything but hotel rooms and

1832
01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:04,320
Speaker 1: tour buses and airplanes and backstage and concert venues, and

1833
01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:07,679
Speaker 1: then it's on to the next place. And I'm wondering,

1834
01:30:07,920 --> 01:30:12,280
Speaker 1: because I guess I've fallen into that situation where I've

1835
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:16,320
Speaker 1: worked and had to go places and have meetings and

1836
01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:20,000
Speaker 1: whatever else events that I've been a part of in

1837
01:30:20,120 --> 01:30:23,360
Speaker 1: some fashion, and then didn't really get to go anywhere

1838
01:30:23,439 --> 01:30:26,040
Speaker 1: or do anything in the region where I was visiting.

1839
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 1: Russ Jackson lived in Seattle for a while. He tells

1840
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:31,800
Speaker 1: me regularly, people like live in that, and I've been

1841
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:32,080
Speaker 1: up there.

1842
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:32,639
Speaker 2: It's great.

1843
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:35,599
Speaker 1: I love Seattle. But he says a lot of people

1844
01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:37,280
Speaker 1: don't go to the Space Needle when they're in and

1845
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:39,960
Speaker 1: around Seattle. They've either been there, done that, or it's

1846
01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:43,479
Speaker 1: just it's a tourist thing. And start thinking about that.

1847
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:46,880
Speaker 1: A lot of people look at Cincinnati, USA tourist destination

1848
01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:50,320
Speaker 1: museum Center. You know, you got the Newport Aquarium, you

1849
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:54,519
Speaker 1: got the Underground Railroad Freedom Center. I mean, there's there's

1850
01:30:54,600 --> 01:30:57,400
Speaker 1: a lot of different the King's Island, et cetera. I'm

1851
01:30:57,479 --> 01:31:00,240
Speaker 1: wondering whither where you've gone for work or of some

1852
01:31:00,439 --> 01:31:03,599
Speaker 1: sort of business whatever, and you never got to enjoy

1853
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:06,880
Speaker 1: where you were or didn't get a chance to see it.

1854
01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:09,719
Speaker 1: When I worked and lived in Vegas for a while,

1855
01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:12,280
Speaker 1: I would talk to people, and it's funny, they go,

1856
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:14,400
Speaker 1: so you're at the strip like all the time, playing

1857
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:17,439
Speaker 1: and getting hammered and partying. Like, no, it's just like

1858
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:20,519
Speaker 1: living here. You know, that may be the place to

1859
01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 1: go to entertain. I was at the strip more when

1860
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:25,880
Speaker 1: I had work, and then when also I had people

1861
01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:28,880
Speaker 1: visiting that then of course wanted to do the obligatory

1862
01:31:29,040 --> 01:31:32,559
Speaker 1: you know, strip stuff, which sounds weird out of context

1863
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:35,360
Speaker 1: now that I say it. So I'm just wondering five

1864
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:38,160
Speaker 1: point three seven four nine seven, eight hundred, the big one,

1865
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:39,559
Speaker 1: pick up the phone, give it the finger?

1866
01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:42,719
Speaker 2: Where have you gone? What have you done and missed

1867
01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:43,120
Speaker 2: out on?

1868
01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:45,280
Speaker 1: Because I mean you talk to people here and they go,

1869
01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:46,880
Speaker 1: when's the last time you went to a museum the

1870
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:49,479
Speaker 1: museum center here? Take the kids or whatever, well when

1871
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:52,360
Speaker 1: they were in school? Haven't gone since? Or haven't done this?

1872
01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:56,599
Speaker 1: Haven't done that? One of those type of like odd things.

1873
01:31:57,080 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 1: And when I first was going to Vegas, I was like,

1874
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:00,720
Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe. No, But then you're

1875
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:03,920
Speaker 1: living and you're in the every day, you don't necessarily

1876
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:06,280
Speaker 1: get a chance to do that. I would imagine that's

1877
01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:09,000
Speaker 1: pretty common for a lot of people. So either where

1878
01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:09,559
Speaker 1: have you gone?

1879
01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 2: Either?

1880
01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:13,479
Speaker 1: And I guess if you live in a destination city

1881
01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:17,120
Speaker 1: or destination location of some sort that might be the case.

1882
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:19,160
Speaker 1: There are probably some people who live near Dollywood who

1883
01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:21,920
Speaker 1: never go there right there. I know people in New

1884
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:24,439
Speaker 1: York and I've gone there for work and to play

1885
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:26,920
Speaker 1: and people who live there and I go. So how

1886
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:28,479
Speaker 1: often do you get to go to the museums you're

1887
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 1: living in like paradise? This is tremendous. What about you know,

1888
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:34,800
Speaker 1: Elis Island and not the place in Vegas, but in

1889
01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:38,600
Speaker 1: New York and or you know what about you know,

1890
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:41,320
Speaker 1: going to the Statue of Liberty and they'll goh, I

1891
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:41,960
Speaker 1: haven't done that.

1892
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:43,840
Speaker 2: I never do. That's a tourist thing.

1893
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:44,760
Speaker 4: Hell with that?

1894
01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 1: Uh and you hear that regularly. Five point three seven

1895
01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:50,680
Speaker 1: four ninety seven thousand, eight hundred, the big one. You

1896
01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:53,960
Speaker 1: can also click on that microphone on the iHeartRadio app

1897
01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:56,639
Speaker 1: if you're streaming there, and leave a message there. I'm

1898
01:32:56,640 --> 01:32:59,000
Speaker 1: also on x or what used to be called Twitter

1899
01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:03,840
Speaker 1: at Sterling Radio. I think the Michael Collins situation as

1900
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:05,880
Speaker 1: an astronaut who went to the moon but didn't get

1901
01:33:05,920 --> 01:33:09,559
Speaker 1: a chance to walk on it as the extreme. I mean,

1902
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, but that still resonates with me. How do

1903
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:15,320
Speaker 1: you go to the moon and not get to go

1904
01:33:15,439 --> 01:33:17,559
Speaker 1: out because you're an astronaut and you're working and you're

1905
01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:20,679
Speaker 1: on the job. I suppose that's one of those type

1906
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:23,680
Speaker 1: of situations. I have friends in southern California and a

1907
01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:25,560
Speaker 1: lot of times you think, oh, surfing and you know,

1908
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:29,880
Speaker 1: the beach, and unless they live like near the beach,

1909
01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:32,960
Speaker 1: they never go to the beach. So, I mean, it's

1910
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:36,760
Speaker 1: a very weird scenario. Three seven four nine, seven, eight

1911
01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:39,280
Speaker 1: hundred the Big One to Anderson with Travis, then Stanley

1912
01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:42,320
Speaker 1: and room for you on this Saturday, Sterling, Travis, what

1913
01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:44,200
Speaker 1: do you know? Where have you either gone and not

1914
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:46,439
Speaker 1: done the tourist stuff or stuff that you think is

1915
01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:49,000
Speaker 1: obvious or did not get a chance to play when

1916
01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:49,479
Speaker 1: you wanted to.

1917
01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:54,280
Speaker 5: No, No, I just got back from Jamaica midnight last night.

1918
01:33:54,439 --> 01:33:58,879
Speaker 12: Oh how was that eight day, seven nights of pure enjoyment?

1919
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:04,040
Speaker 2: Nice? So you did the beach and the whole thing, Yes, playing.

1920
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:04,920
Speaker 12: With dolphins and everything.

1921
01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:08,880
Speaker 2: Enjoyed it good. So that's all you have. I have

1922
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:10,439
Speaker 2: no regrets, no regrets.

1923
01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:13,320
Speaker 1: So have you been anywhere and then not done the

1924
01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:15,920
Speaker 1: stuff that you wanted to or like stuff that in

1925
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:17,599
Speaker 1: that situation like we just talked about.

1926
01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:20,680
Speaker 5: Or No, only time I got regret is when I

1927
01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:22,519
Speaker 5: was in the military and I couldn't play when I

1928
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:23,400
Speaker 5: was in other countries.

1929
01:34:23,800 --> 01:34:25,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that would be tough.

1930
01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:27,559
Speaker 1: Now, So when you say that, like, so you would

1931
01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:30,840
Speaker 1: be stuck doing the work, but you couldn't leave you know, facility,

1932
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:33,120
Speaker 1: the base or whatever to go just enjoy the sites.

1933
01:34:33,160 --> 01:34:34,840
Speaker 1: Even when you were on leave, they wouldn't let you.

1934
01:34:36,160 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 5: Well, because most of the time I was wearing a uniform.

1935
01:34:39,280 --> 01:34:40,280
Speaker 7: We weren't there on leave.

1936
01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:42,479
Speaker 2: I see. So yeah, yeah, you'd be a target or

1937
01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:43,960
Speaker 2: you were actually working on the job.

1938
01:34:44,040 --> 01:34:44,400
Speaker 3: I got you.

1939
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:47,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that yeah, totally makes sense. Well, I'm glad you

1940
01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:48,880
Speaker 1: got to go to Jamaica. I'm glad it was a

1941
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:51,360
Speaker 1: good time. I'm honestly a little bit jealous. But our

1942
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:54,160
Speaker 1: our weather's been good here, but not necessarily Jamaica good.

1943
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:55,120
Speaker 1: The food's good too.

1944
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:55,720
Speaker 15: Uh.

1945
01:34:56,160 --> 01:34:58,040
Speaker 2: Stanley, you're with Sterling on the beg one. Appreciate you

1946
01:34:58,120 --> 01:34:58,920
Speaker 2: holding man, what's going on?

1947
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:04,840
Speaker 16: Hey, showing and think and listening to your conversation with

1948
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:10,080
Speaker 16: the doctor. Yes, gave me kind of an idea. I

1949
01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:15,960
Speaker 16: wonder if we could send those unmanned hovercraft into that

1950
01:35:16,200 --> 01:35:20,639
Speaker 16: island where their big refinery is and go after defense

1951
01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:23,639
Speaker 16: and see where they are, and then go in there

1952
01:35:23,640 --> 01:35:25,559
Speaker 16: and kind of wipe some of that out.

1953
01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that might be.

1954
01:35:27,680 --> 01:35:30,080
Speaker 1: I know they were trying to maintain the infrastructure and

1955
01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:32,280
Speaker 1: just sort of secure it. But they've talked about taking

1956
01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:35,439
Speaker 1: the island and then just handling basically the spicott for

1957
01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:35,920
Speaker 1: the oil.

1958
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:37,599
Speaker 2: But you may be right, that may be a way

1959
01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:39,320
Speaker 2: to do it to hopefully keep it.

1960
01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:45,479
Speaker 16: I got one more question for you, Okay, how come

1961
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:52,040
Speaker 16: we can't just identify what satellites or given keep an

1962
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:56,040
Speaker 16: Iraq up to date with their info and just obliterate them.

1963
01:35:57,240 --> 01:35:59,920
Speaker 1: That's a solid question, and I think it would depend

1964
01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:02,559
Speaker 1: done if they're getting information from Russia, which has been

1965
01:36:02,600 --> 01:36:05,280
Speaker 1: talked about, and then the other side of it, and

1966
01:36:05,400 --> 01:36:08,639
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how it works. There are apparently treaties

1967
01:36:08,680 --> 01:36:13,280
Speaker 1: are some rules is to not destroying satellites out there

1968
01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:16,680
Speaker 1: for the fallout that would come for a whole lot

1969
01:36:16,720 --> 01:36:19,519
Speaker 1: of ways. But that is certainly a place where I

1970
01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:22,040
Speaker 1: think our military, I mean, they had like their own

1971
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:24,080
Speaker 1: little baby shuttle that was up in the air for

1972
01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:26,720
Speaker 1: over a year. So there's a lot of I think

1973
01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 1: military activity that's going on out there that we don't

1974
01:36:29,600 --> 01:36:33,839
Speaker 1: know about in space in some fashion, lower orbit or otherwise.

1975
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:37,160
Speaker 1: What you're mentioning, I think clearly is one of those thoughts.

1976
01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:39,439
Speaker 1: And we can destroy infrastructure on the ground.

1977
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:44,519
Speaker 2: Space is no different. Yeah, So I think that's how

1978
01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:45,559
Speaker 2: you have to deal with that, Stanley.

1979
01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:49,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate the comment, thank you, But I'm not a

1980
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:53,160
Speaker 1: scientist and I'm not necessarily a war strategist or anything

1981
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:55,360
Speaker 1: along those lines. I just hope and pray that these

1982
01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:59,320
Speaker 1: people get home safely. They find that airmen on the

1983
01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:02,080
Speaker 1: ground at them where they need to be safe and sound,

1984
01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:05,280
Speaker 1: so it doesn't end up as a fatality or a

1985
01:37:05,400 --> 01:37:09,519
Speaker 1: situation where they're held captive and used as a bargaining chip,

1986
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:12,320
Speaker 1: or the same way. I remember being a little kid

1987
01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:18,000
Speaker 1: during the Iran hostage crisis and all of that was

1988
01:37:18,080 --> 01:37:20,439
Speaker 1: going on every day. You know, at school, we had

1989
01:37:20,479 --> 01:37:22,559
Speaker 1: one class where there was a TV and they would

1990
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:25,320
Speaker 1: they would talk about it a little bit, and then

1991
01:37:25,360 --> 01:37:28,160
Speaker 1: we would come home or I would anyway, and then

1992
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:30,400
Speaker 1: after school try to do whatever work I had to do,

1993
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:33,960
Speaker 1: and then I would watch you know, the ABC Evening

1994
01:37:34,040 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 1: News and then Nightline. When Nightline effectively started, it was

1995
01:37:37,439 --> 01:37:40,719
Speaker 1: a regular program that was updating talking about the crisis

1996
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:43,560
Speaker 1: in Iran at the time as they had those hostages,

1997
01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:45,599
Speaker 1: and then it just stayed on and has been forever

1998
01:37:45,680 --> 01:37:49,000
Speaker 1: in a day since. That was my introduction, basically, I

1999
01:37:49,080 --> 01:37:51,320
Speaker 1: think probably an interest to hard news and what's going

2000
01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:54,920
Speaker 1: on in the world, seeing that on a regular basis

2001
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:57,120
Speaker 1: with those families and what they went through with those

2002
01:37:57,160 --> 01:38:02,599
Speaker 1: hostages being held basically used as bargaining chips and ploys

2003
01:38:02,680 --> 01:38:06,120
Speaker 1: and propaganda on TV, and that's exactly what Iron wants.

2004
01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:08,320
Speaker 1: So I'm hoping that that's not exactly a situation that

2005
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:12,200
Speaker 1: we get into again ever, let alone with this particular

2006
