Speaker 2: tops of the buildings because it's so overcast.

Speaker 1: level of that Now we're we're just talking about the weather.
Speaker 1: Come on, We're better than that, right, We're better than that.
Speaker 1: You and you and I, You and I. In this
Speaker 1: week every year, I say it's the fourth week in
Speaker 1: a row. We've had a lot of fun this week,
Speaker 1: fourth year in a row, fourth year. What I say,
Speaker 1: fourth weekend? Oh yeah, fourth year, and uh, I'm excited.
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep We're gonna keep the fun rolling with
Speaker 1: our with our first guests out of the gate, your
Speaker 1: old your old pal uh from from local television. Uh,
Speaker 1: our good friend Local twelve anchor and reporter Mega Manngello.
Speaker 2: Mega Monngello is here. And before I get to Megan,
Speaker 2: I want to play. There's I gotta sound. I don't
Speaker 2: want to play because Local twelve has been all over
Speaker 2: this story about people uh in Cincinnati neighborhoods hearing an
Speaker 2: unusual sound that that has remained a mystery to this day,
Speaker 2: and it's been going off for several weeks.
Speaker 1: Now, All right now, I don't think you've heard this.
Speaker 1: I've not heard it. I've read the story on lacer
Speaker 1: twelve dot com, but I'm not I've not heard.
Speaker 2: So everyone, everyone who's listening right now, pay attention to
Speaker 2: the radio. I think this soundbite's about twenty seven seconds long.
Speaker 2: And see if you can identify this sound. Joe Waddell
Speaker 2: hit it, so there you go. Is that man made?
Speaker 2: Is it human? Is it animal? Is it? It's something mechanical.
Speaker 2: It sounds like a cross between like your emergency siren
Speaker 2: and an airplane, or maybe even a big Mac truck
Speaker 2: rolling down the highway, or maybe some mysterious something mysterious,
Speaker 2: a creature from the depths of Hell. Well, but that
Speaker 2: we have, we we got to get to Megan here
Speaker 2: because I, you know, I don't know where you're going.
Speaker 2: You know what, Megan, First of all, thank you so
Speaker 2: much for being here. The pictures that you posted of
Speaker 2: your family on Christmas time are absolutely beautiful. The boys
Speaker 2: are amazing.
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas to you and Jason.
Speaker 2: Your family is amazing. So I love to see those pictures.
Speaker 2: But you folks that have been having some fun with this,
Speaker 2: we're on it.
Speaker 3: Two stories. Yes, we've done two stories. I gotta I
Speaker 3: gotta mention our reporter who's been all over us Marilla Port.
Speaker 4: She she truly has.
Speaker 3: I actually called her this morning because I said, give
Speaker 3: me the lowdown. I was off the day of Christmas
Speaker 3: Eve when her latest story aired. So I'm well breathed
Speaker 3: from the lovely Marilla on this situation. And you know what,
Speaker 3: there's been some fun conspiracies about what this could be,
Speaker 3: even like a yetty roaming the forest and Mount Airy,
Speaker 3: Ghost of Queensgate, Bigfoot crying, beefing with the locknets, monster kracking,
Speaker 3: and the Ohio River. I mean, people are posting some
Speaker 3: hilarious takes as to what this could be. But it
Speaker 3: came about because you were reached out to Local twelve
Speaker 3: and sent us to the audio and said this isn't
Speaker 3: just me. I mean, this is being talked about in
Speaker 3: all the Facebook groups and.
Speaker 4: When can you guys help us out.
Speaker 3: The Clifton neighborhood, mount Airy north Side and Camp Washington
Speaker 3: are the neighborhoods that had been hearing this sound a lot.
Speaker 3: So you guys are guessing something mechanical? Is that what
Speaker 3: I'm hearing?
Speaker 2: Well, I was just laying out the possibilities out there
Speaker 2: of what it could be. I really I can't. I
Speaker 2: like to think I'm pretty good at identifying something that
Speaker 2: that is a mechanical sound, because I've been around airports
Speaker 2: for for so long and I've heard all sorts, you know,
Speaker 2: I was in the in the Air Force and heard
Speaker 2: all sorts of different mechanical sounds, and I really I
Speaker 2: hear that, and I cannot put my finger on it
Speaker 2: and say for certain that that's coming from an animal,
Speaker 2: that's coming from a human, something that's been reproduced, or
Speaker 2: its some mechanicals. I just can't put my finger on
Speaker 2: exactly what it might be.
Speaker 3: After our first story aired, someone who did not want
Speaker 3: to be named remain anonymous sends a message to Marilla
Speaker 3: and basically said that this person has.
Speaker 1: We've lost Megan. Megan, we lost Megan. We'll try to Joe,
Speaker 1: try to get her.
Speaker 4: On back on.
Speaker 1: But I think where she was going on with that.
Speaker 2: The reporter who did the story, she followed up on it,
Speaker 2: Marilla Porter Uh went to the cs C SX rail.
Speaker 1: Yard and Dan Neezer and to set the scene here
Speaker 1: Clifton Camp, Washington North side, I think Mount Airy. They're
Speaker 1: all almost if they're not contiguous, they're all close together there.
Speaker 1: And there's a big railway that goes right through that area. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's down there in the Queen here in Queen's Gate
Speaker 1: as well. Joe, let us know if you get Meghan back,
Speaker 1: Queen's Gate right there as well.
Speaker 2: Yep. But if you read the story, they talk about
Speaker 2: SX rail yard and possibly one of their engines that
Speaker 2: moves trains around in the yard, which another interesting fact
Speaker 2: about that yard. Is they still they use gravity to
Speaker 2: move a lot of those trains. So you'll see we
Speaker 2: used to fly over it in helicopter all the time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and and you would see these these train cars moving
Speaker 2: by themselves, and it's because the rails are sloped in
Speaker 2: such a way that they're just they just let gravity
Speaker 2: do the work, and so these cars move around based
Speaker 2: on that little bit of slope and they just rolled
Speaker 2: where they need to go.
Speaker 1: Dan As I like to say, you know a lot
Speaker 1: about a lot from your reporting career, and that this
Speaker 1: is yet another example that we do have. Megan Bonjello
Speaker 1: back from Local twelve and Megan, I think you're right
Speaker 1: mid sentence, and if you've got that thought, continue on.
Speaker 3: I was talking about the source that talked to Morella
Speaker 3: who said it's an older trim engine. So basically they said,
Speaker 3: this railcar is used to push and pull, you know,
Speaker 3: different trains throughout the rail yard and it needs repaired
Speaker 3: and that's why it was revving loudly and sounding so
Speaker 3: awful and so loud. And I'm sure you know the
Speaker 3: folks that reached out to us that it was a quality.
Speaker 4: Of life thing.
Speaker 3: They were not getting any sleep but the but the
Speaker 3: thing here is Megan, and you correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 2: Did CSX really did not? Really did not nail that down.
Speaker 2: They did not say, yes, this sound is coming from
Speaker 2: one of our engines, a piece of equipment that needs
Speaker 2: that needs attention, and we're you know, it's scheduled to
Speaker 2: be fixed and it's going to be going on a
Speaker 2: CSX did not come out and say that, did they
Speaker 2: right that?
Speaker 3: We have an exact quote, and I'm going to read
Speaker 3: it to you because it's as you know, these PR
Speaker 3: people put out statements and you've got to have to
Speaker 3: read between the lines. So the quote is I'm not
Speaker 3: able to substantiate the rumor that specific specific CSX locomotive
Speaker 3: is the source of the noise. Locomotives are not left
Speaker 3: running unattended for extended periods, and equipment requiring meintenance is
Speaker 3: handled through established operating and mechanical protocols. But after our
Speaker 3: story aired, after both of our story aired, I will say,
Speaker 3: according to Marella, the sound is not happening anymore. People
Speaker 3: are in these Facebook groups and have contacted her and
Speaker 3: said something must have happened at the Railyard to fix it.
Speaker 3: Because we are not hearing that loud, screeching siren anymore.
Speaker 3: So I think if it was the locomotive that you know,
Speaker 3: a lot of people are the engine that needed work done,
Speaker 3: as a lot of people thought they might have gotten
Speaker 3: it taken care of.
Speaker 1: Megan love hearing the power of local journalism there and
Speaker 1: great work on this and just as chuckling quietly as
Speaker 1: you were mentioning the railway, because from my time on
Speaker 1: the business and political desk at the Inquirer, some of
Speaker 1: the more difficult people to deal with are the railroad folks.
Speaker 1: They tend to not like to talk to the to
Speaker 1: the media or answer any any At least they gave
Speaker 1: you some answer.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, but you a statement, yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, Megan, are these these are all just to be clear,
Speaker 1: these are folks who who live in these neighborhoods, or
Speaker 1: or at least some of the folks who live in
Speaker 1: these neighborhoods are pretty used to hearing trains pretty regularly.
Speaker 1: But this is a whole other pitch of a sound.
Speaker 3: Correct, yes, Because it was so loud, a siren like,
Speaker 3: and it was whirling and it went up and down.
Speaker 3: So that was the noise that really had people in
Speaker 3: North Side Clifton Camp, Washington and in those areas really
Speaker 3: scratching their heads like we've heard stuff before, but this one,
Speaker 3: this one's different.
Speaker 2: So last night was Christmas, so as far as you know,
Speaker 2: no one, no one heard this or reported this on
Speaker 2: what either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. And as far
Speaker 2: as you know today, when I.
Speaker 3: Talked to Marella this morning, she said that it's the
Speaker 3: noise suddenly stopped right around Christmas Eve.
Speaker 5: So conspiracy very interest if you want to, you want
Speaker 5: to go out on the limit that at July, or
Speaker 5: if maybe the CSX rail yard got that old engine sex.
Speaker 1: Speak speaking of noises, I'll show this to both of you.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there on Christmas Eve watching Netflix or something
Speaker 1: and then just start hearing like ba boom, boom boom,
Speaker 1: and I'm like and then I realized, like there's fireworks.
Speaker 1: And the next day I've never heard fireworks on Christmas Eve,
Speaker 1: but this was. And this was later at night too.
Speaker 1: I don't know, did you guys hear that in any
Speaker 1: of you? I live in Wyoming and that was uh.
Speaker 1: And then of course the Facebook was not too pleased
Speaker 1: the next morning about it because it was later like
Speaker 1: ten pm. Have you all ever heard in your neighborhood's
Speaker 1: ever heard fireworks on Christmas?
Speaker 2: Even?
Speaker 1: I've heard them on you know, January thirty first, but
Speaker 1: outside of July fourth, of course, there's some people like
Speaker 1: to think of July of Independence Day as July first, second, third,
Speaker 1: and fourth.
Speaker 3: But yeah, no, I'm out in Green Township and I
Speaker 3: didn't hear anything in Green Township.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So when I when I first was you know the story,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, we speaking of noises, but yeah,
Speaker 1: not out in Anderson Dan.
Speaker 2: You know what, Every once in a while, I will
Speaker 2: hear like something you just described. I'll hear a loud
Speaker 2: boom or maybe a series of booms. There was there
Speaker 2: was something going on a few weeks ago where we
Speaker 2: heard a boom and then ten to fifteen minutes would
Speaker 2: pass and we hear another one, and then we heard another.
Speaker 2: I think we wound up here in three or four
Speaker 2: that night. But it's just one of those weird things. Yeah,
Speaker 2: But Megan, I would say to you that just because
Speaker 2: people haven't heard it for the last two or three nights,
Speaker 2: I mean when they first reported this, were they were
Speaker 2: they saying this happened every night or was it sporadically,
Speaker 2: because it seems to me if it was every night,
Speaker 2: we would have more recordings than just the one that
Speaker 2: we played there leading into this this interview.
Speaker 3: I think it was almost every night for at least
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks.
Speaker 4: I mean, it was.
Speaker 3: Definitely a new constant sound that was keeping people up.
Speaker 3: It wasn't just like on a Thursday and then again
Speaker 3: on a you know, Friday a few days later. I mean,
Speaker 3: it was pretty prevalent. I mean it was It's all
Speaker 3: the buzz in those neighborhoods for sure.
Speaker 1: Well and in your story, uh you also you quoted
Speaker 1: a father and a son and the sun. He says,
Speaker 1: it kind of stresses me out because I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is. It's kind of scary, which, you know, putting,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you guys talked to a kid because it
Speaker 1: putting in that context, you're like, that's you know, interesting again,
Speaker 1: like when you're used to hearing the railway, you got
Speaker 1: to get used to it where I live, Like, I
Speaker 1: live three blocks from a rail line, and it annoyed
Speaker 1: me for the first two years I lived there. But
Speaker 1: but then when you saw on something else like this,
Speaker 1: and then you start thinking about kids and sleeping at night,
Speaker 1: and I could see where with stressing shut out.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean some of them said it usually
Speaker 3: starts at ten pm to go until three or four am,
Speaker 3: but it's unpredictable as to you know when it's going
Speaker 3: to happen or how long.
Speaker 2: So yeah, see, I had I had no idea what
Speaker 2: was going on that long. I mean for that, I
Speaker 2: had no idea was that you know that duration of
Speaker 2: the time to where it's several hours to where if
Speaker 2: it's just kind of a one time thing that you know,
Speaker 2: it wouldn't be that big of a deal. But Megan Montngello,
Speaker 2: thank you so much for it for being here. I
Speaker 2: tell your colleague Marilla Porter, we certainly appreciate her work
Speaker 2: on this, and I have not met her yet, but
Speaker 2: I'll certainly hope to get a chance to do that someday.
Speaker 2: But Megan, all the best to you and your great family,
Speaker 2: and have a great New Year and all the rest
Speaker 2: of it. And I hope we get a chance to
Speaker 2: talk against them.
Speaker 3: Always a pleasure. Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 1: Have a great new year, Thanks Megan, Happy New Year,
Speaker 1: Megan mont Jello.
Speaker 2: I mean, I had such a great time working with her.
Speaker 2: We had so much fun back in the day when
Speaker 2: guys worked together and we worked. We worked at Fox
Speaker 2: nineteen together for a while and then uh, and then
Speaker 2: I got a job anchor in the morning show up
Speaker 2: there she had. She was up there before me in
Speaker 2: Dayton at ABC twenty two and Fox forty five, and
Speaker 2: we anchered the morning shown show.
Speaker 1: So we had a long time. Well, both of you
Speaker 1: had to drive all the way up to date for that.
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, yeah, well time today. I drove back and
Speaker 1: forth to Dayton every day. What time do you have
Speaker 1: to get up for that? I I let it took
Speaker 1: me exactly one hour. And and you got to remember,
Speaker 1: this was it. This was at two thirty in the morning, right,
Speaker 1: So that's what time you'd leave your house. Yeah, I'd
Speaker 1: leave my I would roll out of my driveway precisely
Speaker 1: at two thirty every morning, and I would roll into
Speaker 1: the station at three thirty and I and I was there.
Speaker 1: But you got to remember, you know, this was two
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning, So there was hardly ever any
Speaker 1: when would you go on the air? Five We were
Speaker 1: on the air actually at four thirty. We had we
Speaker 1: had a short little show on the ABC affiliate at
Speaker 1: four thirty and then uh five, five, two, seven on
Speaker 1: the ABC and then seven to nine, I mean on
Speaker 1: the Foxville There. That's a whole other world of the
Speaker 1: media there, because you know, I did a I did
Speaker 1: my call. I had a column when WLW hired Tom Brenneman,
Speaker 1: and he was telling me that was his big the
Speaker 1: biggest concern about adapting to getting up at three in
Speaker 1: the morning on a regular basis, And he said he
Speaker 1: talked to Sheila Gray, who's been house just blows me
Speaker 1: away that Sheila Gray has been doing that morning show
Speaker 1: for about twenty five plus years. Sheila is she's I mean,
Speaker 1: that is like you have to go to bed while
Speaker 1: all your friends or your family are out doing fun
Speaker 1: things or whatever. I'm sure the amount of sacrifice you
Speaker 1: have to make this one in the summertime, you know
Speaker 1: you're you're getting bed at seven, seven thirty at night.
Speaker 2: It's day. It was still daylight out, and the neighbors
Speaker 2: and mowing, the mowing, the arts on the windows. But
Speaker 2: I got But so we want to hear from you,
Speaker 2: the listener. Yes you've heard this sound, tell us what
Speaker 2: you think it is. And when we come back I've
Speaker 2: got a twist on this story. Five one three seventh
Speaker 2: little twist. I don't think the story is over, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I got a little twist.

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Eddie and Rocky Show. Jason Williams
Speaker 1: alongside Dan Carroll filling in for Edward Edward our Fingers
Speaker 1: and Rocky boyman Uh Dan, if you will let me,
Speaker 1: may set it up this way. If you're hearing weird
Speaker 1: noises in your neighborhood, we want to hear from you.
Speaker 1: If you caught our last segment with Megan Manngelo from
Speaker 1: Local twelve talking about the story several neighborhoods around the
Speaker 1: city hearing an awfully weird noise, which one of the
Speaker 1: folks they interviewed described it as a tornado, hearing it
Speaker 1: at odd hours of the night, at all different types
Speaker 1: of all different times of the day, randomly. It has
Speaker 1: stopped apparently last couple of last couple of days like that.
Speaker 1: After the last couple of days, after Local twelve gone
Speaker 1: on this story and started pushing I don't know, does
Speaker 1: it have to do with the railroad, because they asked
Speaker 1: questions of the railroad no CSX, which I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe some kind of weird machinery there. But they're saying
Speaker 1: this is a high pitched tornado like we heard it earlier.
Speaker 1: Is it's you know, it is a cross between a
Speaker 1: tornado and an airplane and an emergency siren. But if
Speaker 1: you're hearing that weird noise in your neighborhood, you don't
Speaker 1: have to be in one of those neighborhoods we mentioned.
Speaker 1: Your hearing it somewhere else, give us a call five one, three, seven,
Speaker 1: four hundred, the big one. And even if you're not
Speaker 1: hearing that one specific weird noise, we saw some stories
Speaker 1: of people saying they're hearing weird noises in their neighborhood
Speaker 1: and they don't even live near there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those ways, those neighborhoods mentioned in the in the
Speaker 2: in the Local twelve story are just north of and
Speaker 2: pretty much adjacent to the Queen's Gate area where the
Speaker 2: CSX rail yard kind of hub yet is. So it
Speaker 2: makes sense that those those would be the places where
Speaker 2: you hear it. So I was I knew I wanted
Speaker 2: to talk about this today when all when I saw
Speaker 2: this story. And here's the thing. I saw the story
Speaker 2: earlier this week. I saw the headline, didn't really pay
Speaker 2: attention to it, and it popped up again today as
Speaker 2: we're doing a massive show prep that we always does,
Speaker 2: and I said, you know, I'm going to read this
Speaker 2: and I thought, man, this is really interesting. This is
Speaker 2: is weird sound, especially when I got to the part
Speaker 2: where CSX did not actually confirm that that sound was
Speaker 2: coming from its rail yard. They you know, they.
Speaker 1: Stopped the last ye.
Speaker 2: So I went to I went to because look, when
Speaker 2: when people hear stuff like this and they want to
Speaker 2: chime in on, what do they do? They go to
Speaker 2: social media? Right, So I I look, I have a
Speaker 2: Facebook page. I don't look at it, but maybe once
Speaker 2: every couple of weeks. I'm I'm on my EX my
Speaker 2: EX account fairly regularly, and I'm not gonna well, I
Speaker 2: look at my EX every day, do a little scrolling,
Speaker 2: you know, when I get up, get some maybe get
Speaker 2: some story ideas. The ideas are so different news. So anyway,
Speaker 2: I go on to u X and there is a
Speaker 2: young lady who posted, uh the sound and and if
Speaker 2: you if you miss the sound, we played it in
Speaker 2: the first Hey, Joe Waldell, can you get that ready?
Speaker 2: Let's cue that up again. There was a young lady
Speaker 2: who posted about hearing, you know, hearing this unusual sound,
Speaker 2: and so she actually we had audio of it, and
Speaker 2: it's on her Facebook page, and so we brought it
Speaker 2: with us here today Joe Audell hit that again. Let's
Speaker 2: hear that sound once again. Here we go.
Speaker 1: Maybe Joe's getting he's getting blasted by here we go?
Speaker 2: Is that a humpback whale? Oh? Is it? Is it bigfoot?
Speaker 2: The calls are coming in from all across the region too.
Speaker 2: Well here, okay, before we got to the break, I
Speaker 2: told you I had a twist to this story. Yes,
Speaker 2: So Christina I got a hold of her. She texted
Speaker 2: me and here's and here's what she told me. Okay,
Speaker 2: and she lives in the Mount Healthy area. All right,
Speaker 2: she claims that she has heard such a sound as this,
Speaker 2: but she says that sound that we just played there.
Speaker 2: Even though she posted it, she did not record it.
Speaker 2: That recording was sent to her from an individual who
Speaker 2: lives in Goshen. Now, if you know where Goshen is,
Speaker 2: that's that's a pretty fur pieces from Camp from the
Speaker 2: north side Camp Washington.
Speaker 1: I mean that's Goshen. That's got to be.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say that is a good twenty five maybe
Speaker 2: thirty miles east northeast of these neighborhoods that we're talking about.
Speaker 1: Well, that plays, it plays right into our callers, because
Speaker 1: we're getting callers from all kinds, even farther farther.
Speaker 2: The way Goshen potentially. And I love look, I love Goshen.
Speaker 2: Those are my people, man, I love I love Goshen.
Speaker 2: I go to Goshen and it's like they did they
Speaker 2: you know, if if they had a key to the city,
Speaker 2: they would give.
Speaker 4: It to me.
Speaker 1: Really, they love me out in Goshen. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: Of all my time of covering all kinds of different
Speaker 1: things in this town for many, many years. I have
Speaker 1: never been to Goshen. You should try it sometime. Anyway,
Speaker 1: let's get to George and Indiana. Who's hearing a weird
Speaker 1: sound on?
Speaker 2: Hey George, Hi.
Speaker 7: Guys, Hey Hey, I'm first time, long time for Dan.
Speaker 7: I've never called in this show before. I'm a retired railroader.
Speaker 2: Oh, here we go, here we have.
Speaker 7: I worked as a clerk of the yard master at
Speaker 7: the Queen's Gate Yard from seventy five to ninety.
Speaker 2: All right, so give us the lowdown on the railard.
Speaker 7: That large rail yard opened in July eighty one. And
Speaker 7: what might be that set I can't I can't address
Speaker 7: the Goshen sound that could be. That could be the
Speaker 7: breaks on the trains. I think that's Norfolk and Southern
Speaker 7: that runs along the close to the US fifty two
Speaker 7: and heads east. But going back, going back to the
Speaker 7: CSX issue, there's a large humping operation that's twenty four
Speaker 7: to seven three sixty five and it's usually done with
Speaker 7: an automated engine, and there usually is a crew member
Speaker 7: at the top of that hill and he separates those cars.
Speaker 7: They go into separate classification tracks for new trains and
Speaker 7: there's what's called car retarders halfway down and two thirds
Speaker 7: of the way down that slow these cars down, that
Speaker 7: will put off a high trill sound when it applies
Speaker 7: those brakes. Does that make any sense?
Speaker 2: That made that makes sense to me? Was it was
Speaker 2: I right that that yard that a lot of those
Speaker 2: cars move around by gravity?
Speaker 1: Is that right?
Speaker 7: So it's yeah, it's down, you know, and yeah and yeah,
Speaker 7: and they sometimes you'll have ten and fifteen cars together
Speaker 7: rolling rolling in. Of course they'll clang into other cars
Speaker 7: that are already in those tracks, but they have to
Speaker 7: be careful so that they don't busch the knuckles that
Speaker 7: hold those cars together.
Speaker 1: George.
Speaker 2: But see, I would think that people who live in
Speaker 2: those neighborhoods would would be familiar with the sounds that
Speaker 2: come from the rail yard. And and so if you
Speaker 2: hear something that's it's like that, it's something you hear
Speaker 2: all the time. You probably in a way, you get
Speaker 2: used to it and you sort of drown that out,
Speaker 2: you sort of don't even hear it anymore. This is new.
Speaker 2: This was so unusual that they, you know, they at
Speaker 2: least some of them, but reported that to the local.
Speaker 7: Twelve And if this is something that you're complaining about
Speaker 7: the past few days. It might be a situation where
Speaker 7: their furnaces aren't running, they got their windows up and
Speaker 7: they're hearing it.
Speaker 2: Good point.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's interesting. Yeah, good point, great point, great call, George,
Speaker 1: thanks for weighing in on this. Let's jump around the
Speaker 1: region here and get to Paul and Eaton, who wants
Speaker 1: to weigh in on weird weird noises as well.
Speaker 8: Hey Paul, we're up here in Springfield at the local hospital.
Speaker 8: There's gas turbine backup generators that have to be tested,
Speaker 8: and you can hear it from my house. We've tracked
Speaker 8: them down. When you get a low cloud cover in winter,
Speaker 8: fun will vibrate.
Speaker 4: Can travel up to a couple of miles.
Speaker 8: The Speedway Corporation Etan has one too, you can hear
Speaker 8: this sound, and a lot of other corporations have these,
Speaker 8: and it's a it's.
Speaker 2: A diesel backup.
Speaker 8: They have to burn off the fueld once a year
Speaker 8: to replace new fuel, so little town would last longer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so is this how the heck did you track
Speaker 1: this down?
Speaker 4: We went and looking for it.
Speaker 8: Really at the back of the spring of hospital. You
Speaker 8: can hear him definitely, you can walk right up to them. Huh,
Speaker 8: they're very loud.
Speaker 1: Well, does it sound like that sound? Did you hear
Speaker 1: that sound we played earlier?
Speaker 8: Does it sounds similar to that a large whizzing tornado?
Speaker 2: Okay, especially with a low clo.
Speaker 8: Covered Dayton has a couple of huge ones down by
Speaker 8: ud where the old dpn L plant was, right off
Speaker 8: seventy five. Yeah, if you're in Karen Park you can
Speaker 8: hear them.
Speaker 1: Huh. So there you go, great stuff, Paul, Hey, Mary,
Speaker 1: Chris is happy New Year. Let's jump to uh let's
Speaker 1: jump over to uh Ed and Cole Rain. We're all
Speaker 1: over We're all over the region here and your noise
Speaker 1: they hey ed?
Speaker 9: Yeah, how you guys doing.
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 9: Actually I just asked my wife about that last night
Speaker 9: when we were laying down to go to bed. It
Speaker 9: sounded like somebody was playing music outside in my front yard. Really,
Speaker 9: and I'm like, do you hear that? And of course
Speaker 9: she said no, But I'm like, it sounds like somebody
Speaker 9: is out in the front yard playing music, especially the guitar.
Speaker 9: Did you get up to do with some phenomena going
Speaker 9: around or what but sounded strange?
Speaker 1: Did you get up and go look or.
Speaker 2: Hell map outside maybe Christmas carolers.
Speaker 9: They want Christmas carols set out of the house. It
Speaker 9: was just weird. It was just weird because I hear it,
Speaker 9: and I woke my wife up because she and I'm like,
Speaker 9: do you hear the do you hear that music outside?
Speaker 9: And I did get up and look out the window,
Speaker 9: thinking maybe my neighbor was in the car, you know,
Speaker 9: jamming or something. It was not soul out there, but
Speaker 9: I could still hear the musa. It's weird.
Speaker 1: Great, Thanks Ed, Mary, Chris, Happy New Year to you.
Speaker 9: Wait no, no, no no.
Speaker 4: I checked out radio.
Speaker 9: I thought maybe it was our cell phone, so I
Speaker 9: looked at both of them too. I was thinking maybe
Speaker 9: maybe somehow there was something coming through the cell phones
Speaker 9: that we didn't look up or whatever. But it wasn't
Speaker 9: bad either.
Speaker 2: Well, thanks Ed, thank you, thank you, and thank you.
Speaker 1: I've told you this before. I've got radios all over
Speaker 1: the house.
Speaker 2: I've got them in the basement, I've got one out
Speaker 2: in the garage because I got one on the back porch.
Speaker 2: I got one you know that I that I have upstairs.
Speaker 2: And every once in a while, all you know, you know,
Speaker 2: all be in various parts of the house. I always
Speaker 2: like to have the radio. One good luck trying to
Speaker 2: buy a radio nowadays. By the way, I told you
Speaker 2: that's I always like to have the radio on. And
Speaker 2: every once in a while I'll leave it on, and
Speaker 2: so you get in bed, it's lean, it's late at night,
Speaker 2: and everything's really quiet, and you can hear that radio
Speaker 2: in the distance. And my wife will shove me, hey, wait.
Speaker 1: Go turn the radio. See I leave mine on out
Speaker 1: and I have one out in the garage. I'll go
Speaker 1: out there and sit This is true story. My wife
Speaker 1: can vouch for this. I'll go out there and late
Speaker 1: at night and then I'll fall asleep and just walk
Speaker 1: because in our garage you have to walk outside to
Speaker 1: go back, you know, like there's no inside door into
Speaker 1: our garage.
Speaker 2: So I got I got a.
Speaker 1: Nice launch hair, and I sit there and listen to
Speaker 1: the Reds game, or I'll listen to you sometimes sitting there,
Speaker 1: not not there's no temperature controlling there. But and my wife,
Speaker 1: that's like one day I actually slept all the way
Speaker 1: till sunrise. I just nodded off listen to the radio.
Speaker 2: But I do it when the when the Reds are
Speaker 2: on the West Coast. Yeah, yeah, that's especially on the weekend.
Speaker 2: I'm out there on the back porch. Man, I got
Speaker 2: the radio going on.
Speaker 1: We're we're we're continuing our tour of weird noises across
Speaker 1: the region. We're going to Tim up in Franklin's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in that Gentleman earlier from day and he was
Speaker 2: talking about that noise back there across youded or like
Speaker 2: bake look like big stoners. But I've been I've been
Speaker 2: on a thing watching over the holidays, the Ghostbuster.
Speaker 4: So maybe we need to call the Ghostbuster.
Speaker 2: Maybe thanks, do we call the Cincinnati office of Ghostbuster.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Sandra and cleaves weird noises she is hearing.
Speaker 4: Thank oh okay.
Speaker 10: In the Book of Revelation in the Bible, it talks
Speaker 10: about the trumpet sound when Jesus Christ comes back to
Speaker 10: us the second time. And also, I know, if you're
Speaker 10: familiar with them, the Left Behind movies. The most recent
Speaker 10: one was made by Kevin Slibo, and there's other ones
Speaker 10: that were made in the past. The Left Behind that
Speaker 10: involves different types of I guess the catching away of
Speaker 10: the Bride of Christ, which might be like a tornado
Speaker 10: if you're catching away and David A. R. White also
Speaker 10: made some movies called A six six six The Mark Unleashed,
Speaker 10: which also deals with that subject matter. So that's something
Speaker 10: to think about as well.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Sandra, appreciate your call. That's a good point,
Speaker 1: makes a good point. That was a wide array of
Speaker 1: calls there, but we got to get to traffic and weather.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Eddie and Rocky Show. Eddie and
Speaker 1: Rocky out today Jason Williams alongside DC Dan Carroll. You
Speaker 1: like that hard rocking guitar, don't you. I do get
Speaker 1: fired up. I got to see him, folks, He's like
Speaker 1: banging his head against them all. I'm always I even
Speaker 1: got the got my hands going everything every time, hair
Speaker 1: flopping around, hair flying Not so much on that one.
Speaker 1: That a long mullet you got in the back there.
Speaker 1: Uh anyway, Uh, The Eddie and Rocky Friday Edding Rocky
Speaker 1: Show wouldn't be a Friday Eddie and Rocky Show without
Speaker 1: this guy. As we continue our tour of the Local
Speaker 1: twelve newsroom today, Richard Skinner, our good friend Local twelve
Speaker 1: sports Merry Christmas. Richard Skinner, how you doing.
Speaker 4: Brother, Merry Christmas? Do you guys as well.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you had a good one. Well, let's jump right
Speaker 1: to it. Bengals game Sunday. I thought I thought we
Speaker 1: moved on to the Reds by this time. No, okay,
Speaker 1: we still got two more games we got to finish
Speaker 1: out the season. Yeah, I just want to ask you this,
Speaker 1: like where what do you you know? I know, there's
Speaker 1: all kinds of different schools. I thought, like, oh gosh,
Speaker 1: worst thing for them to win out and show the
Speaker 1: front office that you know, hey, they're not that far off.
Speaker 1: Like what do you make of all that?
Speaker 2: Or what?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: I know, like you want to win obviously, but this
Speaker 1: team always puts you in a weird spot and making
Speaker 1: you feel a little bit like, eh, I don't know
Speaker 1: where do you? Where do you stand on that stuff?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean that. That's kind of what I wrote
Speaker 4: after after Sunday's game that listen, the players, the coaches,
Speaker 4: those associated with the Bengals should feel good about that win.
Speaker 4: You know, you work hard week to do that and
Speaker 4: the end result is you want to go win. They
Speaker 4: should feel great about that.
Speaker 1: The players.
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow, Yeah, absolutely, But the other part is the
Speaker 4: caveat was the front office can't be fooled by what
Speaker 4: takes place in the last three games. Can you be
Speaker 4: encouraged in some ways if you see the two rookie
Speaker 4: linebackers continue to progress. Can you be encouraged by the
Speaker 4: way Miles Murphy has played and then hopefully plays the
Speaker 4: rest of the last couple of games. Can you be
Speaker 4: you know, encouraged by maybe seeing Dax phil being outside
Speaker 4: corner where next year you go in on paper with
Speaker 4: Dak Hill and dj Turn you're looking for a slack
Speaker 4: corner and do me the sounds maybe Jalen Davis who's
Speaker 4: been a journeyman who has never started a game until
Speaker 4: this year in his career, and it's actually shown up
Speaker 4: very nicely in the last you know, five games. Did
Speaker 4: you find maybe your future slot corner at least the
Speaker 4: depth piece. But you can't be totally convinced that everything's okay.
Speaker 4: You still don't get much of a pass rush. You're
Speaker 4: getting nothing from an interior defensive tackles. The linebackers are
Speaker 4: still learning, and can you afford for them to keep
Speaker 4: learning next year? Do you need them to really hit
Speaker 4: the ground running so you can't in a safety position
Speaker 4: while Jordan Biddle has his ups and downs. You know,
Speaker 4: the Son's mostly had downs, so you needed to fix
Speaker 4: that area. There's a lot to fix, and you just
Speaker 4: can't say, well, the last three games sure showed some
Speaker 4: signs of progress. Yeah, they did show some maybe, but
Speaker 4: not enough to convince you that you don't need to
Speaker 4: fix three or four different position groups.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I agree. I couldn't agree anymore because when I
Speaker 2: think about where this Bengals team is right now, I
Speaker 2: think about you know, those times you're driving down the
Speaker 2: road and you don't you might not have the radio on,
Speaker 2: and you hear something in your car and you're like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, the car of the car is making
Speaker 2: a weird noise, and then the next couple of days
Speaker 2: you don't hear it, and you're thinking, hey, I fix
Speaker 2: I'm just kind of hoping that's not the situation that
Speaker 2: the Bengals run offices and where you're gonna look at
Speaker 2: and and look, these next two games they've got coming up.
Speaker 2: I think I think the Bengals should actually win these games,
Speaker 2: especially Sunday here against the I think, yeah, but you know, don't.
Speaker 2: We'll just win those games and say, you know what,
Speaker 2: it fixed itself and we're ready to go for next year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, and again that's not the poo poove. Like
Speaker 4: I said that, if you see some progress from individual
Speaker 4: players or even a unit, because the defense is the
Speaker 4: defense has shown progress since the bye week, is it.
Speaker 4: Is it an elite unit in this league right now? No,
Speaker 4: it's shown some progress, but it does need help. You
Speaker 4: need at least a three technique defensive tackle. You need
Speaker 4: another defensive end because you don't know what Shamar Stewart's
Speaker 4: all about. As I said, I think you're learning a
Speaker 4: little bit about Miles Murphy in a positive way, but
Speaker 4: that's one guy you need. You need more than that.
Speaker 4: And so yeah, I just I I fear that because
Speaker 4: I think we've seen that before. Like I think that
Speaker 4: was kind of what took place last year, right they
Speaker 4: won the last five games. Yep, look back on the
Speaker 4: season and said, man, we had all these one score
Speaker 4: losses and we started playing better down the stretch. Let's
Speaker 4: just on this back and it's a comment. It's still
Speaker 4: six a week because at the combine, dude, Toban literally said,
Speaker 4: I don't want to pay for the same team. Well,
Speaker 4: you paid for a group that's worse, to be honest
Speaker 4: with you, And I think that they got a false
Speaker 4: sense of security by those last five games last season, Like, see,
Speaker 4: you know we're going to change defensive coordinators, he's going
Speaker 4: to fix the problem. And we lost all these one
Speaker 4: score games and turned one of those around and we're
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, turned two of those around, and you're
Speaker 4: probably in the hut for the division. No, you got
Speaker 4: a false sense of security I just hope they don't
Speaker 4: fall for that again over these last few games.
Speaker 2: No, I agree with you.
Speaker 1: And then you throw on top of that the competition.
Speaker 1: You know, quinn Ewers, I mean the Dolphins were mailing
Speaker 1: it in last week. I mean quinn Ewers was a
Speaker 1: seventh round pick for a reason and making his first start.
Speaker 1: I mean, they look like they were playing a preseason game,
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. And again, I don't want to take anything
Speaker 1: away from the players and coaches of the Bengals because
Speaker 1: that was a nice win. But you're you're exactly right
Speaker 1: here and you're throw in Arizona, they're out of it,
Speaker 1: Cleveland coming here next a week from Sunday, there out
Speaker 1: of it. I think this is a real like this
Speaker 1: is I think I think fans have every right to
Speaker 1: be a little bit that sounds so weird to say
Speaker 1: a little concerned about a couple of Bengals blowouts here
Speaker 1: and what it means for the future.
Speaker 4: I agree with that. And and to your point, I mean,
Speaker 4: your last three quarterbacks you're going to face this season
Speaker 4: are Quin yours making his first start, journeyman Jacobe Brisset,
Speaker 4: who's played for a thousand teams in this league yep,
Speaker 4: And then probably should have were Sanders who's still completely
Speaker 4: unproven and really hasn't proven much when he has played
Speaker 4: against the Brown team. That's not very good. So yeah,
Speaker 4: it's not like you're playing a who's who of quarterbacks
Speaker 4: down the stretch.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 4: You know, it's not like that stretch where you played
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson, Josh Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson. Again, it's it's
Speaker 4: not that stretch at all or that so Drake May
Speaker 4: on the front end of that that stretch. So you know,
Speaker 4: you're playing three bad teams with three different variations of
Speaker 4: you know, middling to less than Middland quarterback play playing
Speaker 4: defenses in the case of Arizona that's just not very good.
Speaker 4: Just don't get buffaloed by what you do well.
Speaker 2: What will be an indicator to you that the front
Speaker 2: office is taking this seriously and they are making moves
Speaker 2: to uh to improve the overall team this season. I
Speaker 2: mean are looking at free agency, You're looking at what
Speaker 2: they do in the draft, or a combination of those things.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Both. I'm really interested when we get the chance
Speaker 4: to talk to Duke Tobin in late February at the
Speaker 4: Combine and the Indy kind of what his stance will
Speaker 4: be on that is it? You know, are we gonna
Speaker 4: gonna you know, look to address everything to the draft
Speaker 4: or address a lot through free agency. I mean the
Speaker 4: last time we were able to attract attack the free
Speaker 4: agency hard on the defensive side of the ball was
Speaker 4: after the twenty twenty season one to twenty twenty. They
Speaker 4: signed Trey Henderson and signed Chobi Ouge, and signed signed
Speaker 4: Mike Kilton and signed Larry Ogunjobi the defensive tackle me
Speaker 4: And they really attacked it hard and it paid off.
Speaker 4: And you have a chance to do that again and
Speaker 4: a chance to hopefully kill some some needs to the draft.
Speaker 4: The problem is that the most recent have not been great.
Speaker 4: I know there's some revision's history at the moment on
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty three draft. Yeah, I'm I'm still the
Speaker 4: jury is still out on that one. For me, I
Speaker 4: needed to see more from some guys in that draft.
Speaker 4: But there were parts of that draft that they deserve.
Speaker 4: I mean, Chase Brown was a was a Day three pick,
Speaker 4: and he's panned out very nicely. Yes, you know, DJ
Speaker 4: Turner's panned out very nicely.
Speaker 1: From that new guy.
Speaker 4: You guys just a couple of guys from the draft, right,
Speaker 4: a couple of guys from a draft you.
Speaker 1: Need far more than Miles Murphy. I'm not ready to
Speaker 1: annoying him yet. He was the first round taking that draft.
Speaker 1: He's had a couple of nice games, but I mean
Speaker 1: he got he looked awful on that first touchdown run
Speaker 1: that the Dolphins had the other day.
Speaker 2: I mean he just got smoked.
Speaker 1: He wasn't the only one, but the angle and it's like, eh,
Speaker 1: I don't think we're quite there yet with Miles Murphy.
Speaker 4: I mean, this guy, just you you have taken nice
Speaker 4: steps more and I'm with you on that, but this
Speaker 4: I'm not with you. You annoying him like he's turned
Speaker 4: the corner. Hey, he's taking nice steps forward. I'll give
Speaker 4: him that part.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Lamar Jackson there and what you were talking about,
Speaker 1: and it reminds me of Lamar Jackson in the news
Speaker 1: right now. Baltimore Sun comes out the other day with
Speaker 1: the report he's falling asleep in meetings. Him and Harball
Speaker 1: aren't getting John Harball aren't getting along. What do you
Speaker 1: make of the situation? Harball then came out yesterday and said, Nope,
Speaker 1: everything's all great with Lamar. And what do you make
Speaker 1: of the situation in Baltimore? They're basically their backs against
Speaker 1: the wall right now. Is the Baltimore Ravens run with
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson coming to an end?
Speaker 4: I think they shot him in this offseason. I mean,
Speaker 4: you've won three playoff games with Lamar Jackson as greater
Speaker 4: than individual talents, He's been stop being great in the playoffs.
Speaker 4: He hasn't taken them where you thought they should go
Speaker 4: in the playoffs. And it's not just him, obviously, but
Speaker 4: quarterbacks are defined by that, right, I mean, they're defined
Speaker 4: by what you do in the playoffs. And he has
Speaker 4: not had great playoffs success. And at some point and
Speaker 4: with you know, he's getting again not up there in age,
Speaker 4: but another year goes by and he's another here of
Speaker 4: hits on that body and they've tried to limit him
Speaker 4: in the one game the last couple of years, but
Speaker 4: that's you know, he's still there's still a one at
Speaker 4: Hardy still does some great things in the one game.
Speaker 4: But I think for them, at some point you have
Speaker 4: to say this isn't working for whatever reason and it's
Speaker 4: time to start over. And I'm not so sure they're
Speaker 4: not too.
Speaker 2: Far Apart from that skinning on another subject, the college
Speaker 2: football playoffs. Are you enjoying what you've seen so far?
Speaker 2: And you know those games involving James Madison and I
Speaker 2: forget who the other one was, but it seems Lane, Yeah, too, Lane.
Speaker 2: It seems like that was a self inflicted wound when
Speaker 2: when you look at the way those two games went down.
Speaker 2: Does does the NCAA need a couple of great games
Speaker 2: here coming up on New Year's Eve and New Year's
Speaker 2: Day to to sort of recover from that?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean, obviously the Alabama Oklahoma game was a
Speaker 4: great game and a great time usedtory programs. But then
Speaker 4: from that point forward, the Miami Texas A and M
Speaker 4: game was a competitive game, it just wasn't a great game.
Speaker 4: And then the other two were the blowouts. You just mentioned,
Speaker 4: but man, these four matchups coming up were just outstand
Speaker 4: I mean, Oregon Texas Tech is people have we probably
Speaker 4: watched enough of either one of those, and I understand
Speaker 4: that wholeheartedly. But those are two great teams that wins
Speaker 4: the national champions Texas Tech's really good. You know, I
Speaker 4: still would put my money on Ohio State if if
Speaker 4: I had some money to put on that. You know,
Speaker 4: Indiana's obviously such a great story. No, these matchups are outstanding.
Speaker 4: So you got through the fluff of the first round,
Speaker 4: you know, there's gonna be a lot of people looking
Speaker 4: back and saying, you know, we got to change the
Speaker 4: system again because we can't allow James, the James Madisons
Speaker 4: and the two Wanes to both get in maybe one
Speaker 4: of them, but not both. I think you'll see it
Speaker 4: changing that system. To talk to them, they're going to
Speaker 4: go to fourteen or sixteen teams, which is probably the
Speaker 4: sweet spot to be honest with you, and maybe change
Speaker 4: some of the criteria for how teams get into this thing.
Speaker 4: But once we're now through this into the quarterfinal round,
Speaker 4: these are all four on paper outstanding matchups.
Speaker 1: Do you do you like the setup the schedule right now?
Speaker 1: I mean we're going we're going on a week and
Speaker 1: a half Wednesday, December thirty first. Next next Wednesday will
Speaker 1: be our first or the playoffs or resume? What over
Speaker 1: going on? Two weeks?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 2: Do you like that break?
Speaker 1: There?
Speaker 8: Not?
Speaker 4: No? Not just going on that. Don't forget the teams
Speaker 4: that got the buy haven't played since ye in the championship. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and that to me, if you're going to do that,
Speaker 4: then I think those teams that got the buy should
Speaker 4: have should have a chance to play on their whole Deald.
Speaker 4: I think that that that. I know they're trying to
Speaker 4: keep some of the balls back and of those bull sites,
Speaker 4: but boy, I'd love to see those home site games.
Speaker 4: I will say the atmosphere for the first four games,
Speaker 4: they may not have been great games, but the fact
Speaker 4: that the home sites they were just outstanding. And so
Speaker 4: now you get a chance if you do this again
Speaker 4: for for for four more home site games. I think
Speaker 4: that if you're gonna continue to do it the way
Speaker 4: you're doing it, especially with these teams who played back
Speaker 4: in early December and haven't played since, give them a
Speaker 4: little bit of them of an advantage to get a
Speaker 4: chance to get a home game they've earned that, they
Speaker 4: earned a bye for goodness, say so let them earn
Speaker 4: a home game on top of it.
Speaker 1: Well, and also you're throwing in now. Now is where
Speaker 1: the kind of quote New Year's Day, New Year's Eve
Speaker 1: bowl game? The major bowls? The Rose Bowl was, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the Cotton Bowl, the the what I say,
Speaker 1: are the Sugar Bowl like that? It's like those don't
Speaker 1: even really mean anything anymore now, but those that's gonna
Speaker 1: be this round of playoff games. Uh, you know, Ohio
Speaker 1: State's playing Miami and the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. That's like, okay,
Speaker 1: no one cares.
Speaker 4: Yeah to me, they're playing them in the quarterfinals of
Speaker 4: the college football playoffs. Bingo, the pop Tarts the pop
Speaker 4: Tarts Bowl from from a name bowl has more name
Speaker 4: recognition than what. It's not the Cotton Bowl. Players, it's
Speaker 4: the quarter final round of the playoffs.
Speaker 1: The pop Tarts Bowls. They're like, I mean, we're talking
Speaker 1: about the pop Tarts Bowl. That's one of the few.
Speaker 1: Like you're gonna have to get creative, and they did.
Speaker 1: But as you, I tell you what, Skinny, I used
Speaker 1: to live for bowl season. I know you and I
Speaker 1: have talked a lot about but I I have I
Speaker 1: have not watched outside of those few playoff games, I
Speaker 1: watched most of that James mass and Oregon game. I
Speaker 1: haven't watched any any of the bowl games at all.
Speaker 2: None of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I mean we've had we had a couple
Speaker 1: in here in the studio, but like you know, other
Speaker 1: than that that I had, the whole Potato Bowl was
Speaker 1: a lot better, and I thought it was gonna be.
Speaker 4: That's always one of my favorite. I can't even tell you,
Speaker 4: I don't know, but it's got name recognition. That's the
Speaker 4: beauty of it.
Speaker 1: I mean, are there you know we're hearing a lot
Speaker 1: of talk of well, these things are thinking the pat
Speaker 1: do you see a day where bulls are going to
Speaker 1: are gonna go away or there's only going to be
Speaker 1: a handful of them for you know, some of those
Speaker 1: g five u uh, you know, the James Madison's and
Speaker 1: the Marshalls of the world that you know don't make
Speaker 1: the playoff that they'll still be able to go play
Speaker 1: in a bowl game.
Speaker 4: I mean, they thought hard though to keep the sanctity
Speaker 4: of the Rose Bulls and the Orange Bowls and the
Speaker 4: Sugar Bowls. Yeah, but they're really they really aren't. I
Speaker 4: do think those other bulls though. I think once they
Speaker 4: change this calendar, the portal calendar, I think that'll help
Speaker 4: a little bit when they push it back, because right now,
Speaker 4: I mean got the kids are just jumping out all
Speaker 4: these minor bowls saying the heck with it, I'm moving
Speaker 4: on to the next school. Well, yep, you really don't have
Speaker 4: to do that right away. You may stick around and say,
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm going to finish this. I hope
Speaker 4: that's the case, because that's the problem anymore, is the
Speaker 4: opt outs just change change a lot of the sanctity
Speaker 4: of other Bowl games for goodness sakes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Richard Skinner from Local twelve, I'll see awesome stuff.
Speaker 1: See you down at the pay Course Stadium on Sunday, Bud.
Speaker 1: Always great having Skinny on, Always great insights.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: I've known Skinny for since the late nineties from our
Speaker 1: days at the Cincinnati Post.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: He's always been a fountain of knowledge on any sports.
Speaker 1: He's a great guest in this town since way way before.
Speaker 2: That, The Two Angry Guys. It was a great show.
Speaker 1: That was a two person radio show. Before that was
Speaker 1: two person radio show. Before that was really an end thing.
Speaker 1: Gamble and Skinny Yep, great guys, they were fun to
Speaker 1: listen to. Oh absolutely, bring him back anyway. But for
Speaker 1: God's sake, charge, let's get the trafficking. Well, what's up?
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Eddie and Rocky Show. Eddie and
Speaker 1: Rocky are out today. Jason Williams alongside Dan Carroll. One
Speaker 1: point eight billion dollars? How much song in Arkansas went
Speaker 1: on the were worn?
Speaker 2: Baby?
Speaker 1: Did you play? Did you end up getting a ticket?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: No, I had tickets and my sister for uh we
Speaker 2: we went to my brother's house on Christmas Eve and
Speaker 2: one of the things that she did was she bought
Speaker 2: I don't know that was seven or eight I think
Speaker 2: Powerball tickets and and so she passed out copies to
Speaker 2: everyone in the family and she said, if we hit this,
Speaker 2: we're gonna split it, which I thought was very cool.
Speaker 2: And so when I found out there was a winner today,
Speaker 2: I looked at the numbers. We didn't have a single number.
Speaker 2: Was the winner out of Oklahoma? No, Arkansas, Arkansas. So
Speaker 2: somebody in Arkansas won. But if listen to me, now, yes,
Speaker 2: if you bought a ticket in Ohio, there was a
Speaker 2: ticket sold in Ohio. That is worth a million dollars.
Speaker 2: So before you chuck those tickets, take a look at it.
Speaker 2: Have you looked at yours? Not all of them? How
Speaker 2: many did you? I looked at the one because much
Speaker 2: how much is it take? I think they're two bucks?
Speaker 2: But how I looked at the one that was the
Speaker 2: family one. We didn't have a single number on those
Speaker 2: I've got, I've got another one. I did buy another
Speaker 2: one that's out in the car, and I didn't bother
Speaker 2: to go out there and look at it. How does
Speaker 2: that work?
Speaker 1: By the way, Dan, so if the if the jackpot
Speaker 1: is one point eight billion, then how are there any
Speaker 1: other winners?
Speaker 2: If if you got and I believe this is right,
Speaker 2: there's there's six a total of six numbers drawn. So
Speaker 2: the here are the winning numbers, four to twenty five,
Speaker 2: thirty one, fifty two, fifty nine. The power ball is nineteen.
Speaker 2: The million dollar tickets have the first five numbers, but
Speaker 2: they don't have the power ball. So if you've got
Speaker 2: all five of those numbers, then you then you won
Speaker 2: a million bucks. Excellent. So that's not bad. No, I
Speaker 2: would be somewhat happy with that. Now I'd be upset
Speaker 2: that I didn't get the one point eight billion, but
Speaker 2: you know, a million would put a little sav on.
Speaker 1: Do they actually have the TV show where they draw
Speaker 1: the ping pong balls?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 2: What I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I can so I used to watch with a Remember
Speaker 1: cash Explosion double Play out of Cleveland, oh Man. I
Speaker 1: used to watch that late night Saturday nights. If I'm
Speaker 1: flipping around and it's on, I'll watch it. Sharon Dick,
Speaker 1: bick Noll or something, remember I do remember? Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: good stuff.
Speaker 2: I think. I think the Lottery Show is still on.
Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you when it's on.
Speaker 1: But I always enjoyed it because you'd see people from
Speaker 1: all over the state, you know, and I know that
Speaker 1: little town, and you.
Speaker 2: Like see people because they try to make a like
Speaker 2: a game show, right, and and there are people who
Speaker 2: are there who have no business being on a game correct,
Speaker 2: which is part of the entertainment of watching it. So
Speaker 2: someone in Ohio is good for a million bucks. Congratulations
Speaker 2: to them. Could that be Dan Carroll? I don't know,
Speaker 2: I'll have to I have how long do you have
Speaker 2: to figure that out?
Speaker 1: Uh? Probably a year? You do, all right?
Speaker 2: You got some time? So you know, I'm gonna, I'm gonna,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna maybe wait, I haven't seen it reported yet
Speaker 2: where the ticket was sold. If it was sold in
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati area, then maybe I'll check it out. So
Speaker 2: so now we'll see what happens. But you know, we
Speaker 2: always talk about the Bengals making some bad PR moves, yes,
Speaker 2: dropping the ball. Well, the Bengals are not immune in
Speaker 2: this particular situation. In this case, it's the New York Jets. Okay,
Speaker 2: they're they're right there.
Speaker 1: So the New York Jets have a promotion and I
Speaker 1: guess they've been doing it all year long, and like
Speaker 1: the big finale was going to come up this weekend
Speaker 1: where they challenged someone to kick a field goal, and
Speaker 1: I guess they're going to do this during halftime and
Speaker 1: they could win one hundred thousand dollars from the team. Yes,
Speaker 1: so the contestant, or at least one of the contestants,
Speaker 1: was going to be this young woman. She's thirty three
Speaker 1: years old.
Speaker 2: Her name is of course, I just had it right
Speaker 2: in front of me, but now I can't find her name.
Speaker 2: Ashley Costiano Gervasi, longtime Jets Jets fan, her dad, hardcore
Speaker 2: Jets fan, passed away, so she still attends the games
Speaker 2: and she does it in his honor. So this coming Sunday,
Speaker 2: she was going to get a chance to kick a
Speaker 2: field goal for one hundred thousand dollars this coming Sunday. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they found her that. She was out tailgating this past
Speaker 2: September at one of one of the Jets the Jets games.
Speaker 2: The people from the Jets saw her kick a field
Speaker 2: goal at a tailgate party and they said, we want
Speaker 2: you to be in this contest where you can kick
Speaker 2: a field goal for one hundred grand. And she's like, heck, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll do it. And she told him she used to
Speaker 2: play Division IE soccer at Brookie University, yep, and they.
Speaker 1: Were fine with that. Okay, they were good, okay. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And so the you know, all this, she's been out
Speaker 2: there practicing, she's been working on it. She's also a
Speaker 2: coach soccer coach at a local high school, Long Beach
Speaker 2: High School. She coaches the women's soccer team there. So
Speaker 2: here we are, just a few days before this event's
Speaker 2: supposed to happen. She's going to get her chance to
Speaker 2: kick a twenty five year field goal for one hundred grand.
Speaker 1: Let's go.
Speaker 2: They tell her, well, we have rules that say you
Speaker 2: can't be a high school coach, so now she doesn't
Speaker 2: get to kick she can't be a high school coach
Speaker 2: a field goal. Yeah, it's okay. She told him straight up.
Speaker 2: She said, look, I used to play Division one. I'm
Speaker 2: a good kicker. And they said that great, come on
Speaker 2: and we want you. But now they find out, or
Speaker 2: they say and and then she's been practicing and she's
Speaker 2: been drilling, you know, for twenty twenty five yards boom boom,
Speaker 2: boom every time. So she's ready to go. And they
Speaker 2: come up a couple of days ahead of time and say,
Speaker 2: you know what, we can't let you kick it week.
Speaker 2: How bad is that? For a hundred what's one hundred
Speaker 2: grand to the Jets? Nothing? I mean, think about the
Speaker 2: great pr if this Galt makes a field goal at
Speaker 2: halftime in one of their games and they're and they're
Speaker 2: worse than the Bengals.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got the story up too, like what's
Speaker 1: and looking at I mean this we're talking about a
Speaker 1: long time loyal fan and that's a that's a franchise too.
Speaker 1: I like the Bengals, like if you've hung in there
Speaker 1: with them, you you you've you've seen some stuff and
Speaker 1: just add this to the chapter. But this this gal,
Speaker 1: there's a picture of her and her dad or dad
Speaker 1: you know, just passed away, and you know they to
Speaker 1: go to the games together.
Speaker 2: So it's not like she's raking in tons of money
Speaker 2: being and and look just because a buddy of mine
Speaker 2: coaches soccer, and he doesn't mean he's a good soccer player,
Speaker 2: but he coaches. You coach baseball. How good of a
Speaker 2: baseball player are you?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 2: I wasn't good. So yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad you
Speaker 2: admitted that. I had no idea what that answer is
Speaker 2: going to be. You know, I thought you might have
Speaker 2: played minor league ball or something. You know, couldn't hit
Speaker 2: the curve. I was a basketball guy, you and you
Speaker 2: hit the shoot the three pointer. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 2: was a solid basketball player. There you go.
Speaker 1: High school Division two Ohio. I started on my high
Speaker 1: school team Beautif. We were good, very nice, But I
Speaker 1: was a scrappy guy. They put me on the beast.
Speaker 2: That's the only way they do it in Gallop Police,
Speaker 2: isn't it. They put him got to bring the d.
Speaker 1: They put me on the best, on the best offensive
Speaker 1: player for the other team offense or the guard the
Speaker 1: best guard. Yeah, but that would be bush league? Is
Speaker 1: that that you that's a bush League operation up there?
Speaker 1: I mean that that owner of that team is a nut?
Speaker 4: What he uh?
Speaker 2: What's his last job? Come on?
Speaker 1: Oh, and she was the only the only woman. She
Speaker 1: was the only woman to make it to the final
Speaker 1: round as well. For also, I'm looking at New York
Speaker 1: posts as I always do. It is Uh, there's a
Speaker 1: picture of her when she was a little kid like
Speaker 1: that in front of like, you know, wearing a looks
Speaker 1: like a Wayne Crabette jersey in front of a trophy
Speaker 1: a trophy case, right, And there's like all kinds of
Speaker 1: pictures her when she was a kid growing up, all
Speaker 1: these different Uh. There she is out in the tailgate
Speaker 1: lot with friends, like you're talking about a loyal, loyal
Speaker 1: fan here, spent thousands of thousands of dollars and not
Speaker 1: not only that, but she's helped convince others to be
Speaker 1: Jets fans.
Speaker 2: There's no doubt. But how are you in the p
Speaker 2: R Office of the Jets and this gal she's gone
Speaker 2: through This is this is from back in September. They
Speaker 2: chased it. She said, they chased me down in the
Speaker 2: parking lot to ask me to be part of this contest.
Speaker 2: So it wasn't like she was trying to scam them
Speaker 2: or anything like that, right, she told them straight up,
Speaker 2: you know who she was, where she worked the whole
Speaker 2: nine yards. And then on the you know the at
Speaker 2: the eleventh hour, they come in and say, no, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: can't kick speaking of one hundred grands? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Speaking of the money this season, cat what's her name
Speaker 1: Castanillo Gervasi and her husband, Matthew Costiano Gervasi about two
Speaker 1: season tickets behind her family's other seats that her and
Speaker 1: her dad had for years in the two hundred level
Speaker 1: of the stadium for nearly three thousand dollars. So you're
Speaker 1: talking these folks spend thousands of thousands of dollars a
Speaker 1: year on the New York Jets, and this is how
Speaker 1: they this is how they thank her. I'm telling any
Speaker 1: man like it frustrates me because the NFL is expensive. Well,
Speaker 1: a lot of these a lot of.
Speaker 2: These sports are expensive.
Speaker 1: But the fact that when you hear stories like this,
Speaker 1: or when you hear stories about when the Bengals, you know,
Speaker 1: didn't didn't take that extra mile and clean off the seats.
Speaker 1: It's like, really, like, come on, come on, I just.
Speaker 2: I just hope the New York Post editorial board puts
Speaker 2: out an obed on this, because they will absolutely roast
Speaker 2: the owners the Jets. There some great they have some
Speaker 2: great editorials something. Hey New York Posts man, you do
Speaker 2: not want to get on the wrong side of those folks,
Speaker 2: because they can just skew it, get glued, screwed, barbecue all.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this happened. This happened in when Michael Jordan
Speaker 1: was playing for the Chicago Bulls. Same thing happened. Although
Speaker 1: the the guy, the guy made it, he did it.
Speaker 1: He there was a half wort shot for a million dollars.
Speaker 1: He made the shot. He'd played college basketball or something,
Speaker 1: And then they tried to go back and say, nope,
Speaker 1: you played college basketball. That was against the rules. But wait,
Speaker 1: like you already got through this. But apparently Michael Jordan
Speaker 1: himself took care of the guy, like made up the
Speaker 1: million himself or found you know, a couple of people
Speaker 1: to chip in and get him the million dollars. But
Speaker 1: like what I mean, especially for it doesn't matter if
Speaker 1: you played basketball, or you didn't play basketball, or you know,
Speaker 1: I could understand if this was someone who was a
Speaker 1: field goal kicker in high school and it was good
Speaker 1: at it and or college, yeah, college, Like I could see,
Speaker 1: you know what because of twenty five yard field goal,
Speaker 1: you know, for someone who's kicked field goals before. Not
Speaker 1: that not that big a deal. But like when you
Speaker 1: look at a half court shot, that the odds of
Speaker 1: making that for anyone, no matter Michael Jordan, Lebron James,
Speaker 1: Me and you, like, the odds are tough to make
Speaker 1: it half.
Speaker 2: And to do it at that what that precise time,
Speaker 2: that one time it counts. Yeah, sometimes you make. Sometimes
Speaker 2: they go in like, why have all these rules? I mean,
Speaker 2: I have all these rules. It's ridiculous. It's a it's
Speaker 2: a I mean you talk about unforced errors, yes, and
Speaker 2: the Jets. I really look, I don't wish anything bad
Speaker 2: for anyone, especially professional sports organizations, but come on, New
Speaker 2: York Jets.
Speaker 1: Okay, just you mean she might miss, she might miss, right,
Speaker 1: let her get her out there. I'm watching these videos
Speaker 1: of her practicing like she's making that, she's taking that.
Speaker 2: So you're putting the jinks on it right now.
Speaker 1: I like, you know, she tells the post. This is
Speaker 1: life changing money for me. She said, I was confident
Speaker 1: I could make I could have made it for a
Speaker 1: math teacher in high school. This is the first time
Speaker 1: I was hearing of any of these, any of these questions.
Speaker 1: I don't understand it anyway, Let's get the traffic. What's
Speaker 1: up out there?
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Eddie and Rocky Show. Eddie and
Speaker 2: Rocky out today.
Speaker 1: Jason Williams Dan Carroll rolling into our final hour of
Speaker 1: the week.
Speaker 2: We're back with you on Monday. He's got his mic
Speaker 2: and pressed the button. There we go. See that that
Speaker 2: that's the extent of the work I had to put
Speaker 2: in and had to reach all the way across here
Speaker 2: and press that button right strained strain your I did,
Speaker 2: I mean you musle?
Speaker 4: There?
Speaker 1: I might have are after playing golfield.
Speaker 2: Might have work workman's comp claim.
Speaker 1: This is what cracks you know you were sore after
Speaker 1: playing golf the other day, But you.
Speaker 2: Know it wasn't I just drove. I did, but it
Speaker 2: was fair, So I haven't. I haven't haven't played eighteen
Speaker 2: holes in a while. I was giving you heart.
Speaker 1: It was all good, though, were you shore and there
Speaker 1: in the upper body from the sun because you do
Speaker 1: that indoor place. I do, yeah, but you don't do
Speaker 1: a lot of walking around the door golf. You still
Speaker 1: walk a lot even when you drive a cart, you know,
Speaker 1: when when you have to stop the cart on the
Speaker 1: edge of you know, and go walking into the trees
Speaker 1: in the woods and all that kind of stuff. My
Speaker 1: son now thirteen year old O, my now thirteen year
Speaker 1: old son, H he plays golf.
Speaker 2: I don't play golf, but he uh was allowed to.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 1: One of our buddies, yeap took him golfing last spring.
Speaker 1: UH with a couple other dads and sons. This guy
Speaker 1: sat in because I'm Dad of the year or whatever,
Speaker 1: you are the dad of the year. He sat in
Speaker 1: for me because he's a golfer and I'm not. Well,
Speaker 1: he let uh, he let the kid drive. Well, let's
Speaker 1: just say he took out a sign. He took out
Speaker 1: some kind of stay on the cart pa. I think
Speaker 1: it was a stay on the cart pass sign too
Speaker 1: any any real damage now, Fortunately it didn't damage the
Speaker 1: cart at all.
Speaker 2: Those things expensive.
Speaker 1: Apparently they propped the sign back their photos. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I won't say where it was, but yes, all right,
Speaker 1: So here's what I want to do.
Speaker 2: Here's what I want to do this final hour, and
Speaker 2: I'm hoping for some some audience participation in this. Yes.
Speaker 2: And the question is what is the best thing that
Speaker 2: your boss or your company has ever done for you?
Speaker 2: And the reason I want to ask this question is
Speaker 2: because again the New York Post comes through and there's
Speaker 2: a guy in Louisiana. His name is Graham Walker. He
Speaker 2: is now the former CEO of a company called Firebond,
Speaker 2: and Firebond is a company that builds shelters for electrical equipment,
Speaker 2: high tech equipment, stuff like that, like if you've got
Speaker 2: stuff like this outside and you need a building specifically
Speaker 2: to house this stuff, and this is what this company does.
Speaker 2: So and they had it was the company was started
Speaker 2: by his father, had a lot of tough times back
Speaker 2: in the eighties, wound up actually firing a lot of people,
Speaker 2: had to let a lot of people go, but slowly
Speaker 2: built the company back up five hundred and forty full
Speaker 2: time employees. The guy is forty six years old, and
Speaker 2: he wound up selling the company to another company called Eaton.
Speaker 2: All right, so this guy sold the company for I
Speaker 2: believe the number is one point four billion dollars. Nice
Speaker 2: payday for this guy. Right. So in a lot of cases,
Speaker 2: a guy like that who owns the company, owns the
Speaker 2: majority of stock, they'll sell the company, they'll take their proceeds,
Speaker 2: and they'll go on with life. Do you know whatever
Speaker 2: the next chapter is for them? Meanwhile, and I don't
Speaker 2: know about you, but I've worked for different companies when
Speaker 2: those companies have changed ownership, and in most.
Speaker 1: Cases that's happened to me multiple times.
Speaker 2: What I've got from those companies was, well, you might
Speaker 2: be lucky to have a job after this after the
Speaker 2: change of ownership. That's pretty much the most things we got.
Speaker 2: But you're in you're in a media. Well that's a
Speaker 2: little that's true. Yeah. So anyway, this guy, as part
Speaker 2: of the deal, is selling the company. He said, I
Speaker 2: need my employees, of which there are five hundred forty
Speaker 2: employees of this company. So this is a nice mid
Speaker 2: sized company. I didn't rize there are that many people.
Speaker 2: When you five hundred forty employees in this small town
Speaker 2: in Louisiana. He said, as part of the deal, I
Speaker 2: need my employees to get some nice bonuses. So he
Speaker 2: negotiated a deal every and think about this, five hundred
Speaker 2: forty employees. Every employee got an average. Some employees got more,
Speaker 2: some got a little bit less. But out of five
Speaker 2: hundred forty employees, every one of those employees average is
Speaker 2: a bonus of four hundred forty three thousand dollars. That's awesome,
Speaker 2: six figure bonuses. I I have never seen anything like this.
Speaker 2: You know what a legacy that guy left. It costs him,
Speaker 2: you know, out of his deal that he's cutting, it
Speaker 2: costs him twenty four million dollars. And how much was
Speaker 2: the whole deal worth?
Speaker 8: Does it?
Speaker 2: Say? I think it's one point four billion? I think
Speaker 2: is what the one point seven billion? Oh there you go.
Speaker 2: Sold the company for one point seven billion. But still
Speaker 2: they'll make that twenty four million up quickly. Think about that.
Speaker 2: One of his employees, Lisa Key, twenty nine years old,
Speaker 2: started in nineteen ninety five making five dollars and thirty
Speaker 2: five cents an hour.
Speaker 1: And I guarantee you go up and down the that
Speaker 1: that company, and there are people like that in that company.
Speaker 1: And now look that's life changing money. Now she's fifty one,
Speaker 1: she manages a team of eighteen people. She used her
Speaker 1: bonus to pay off her mortgage and she opened a
Speaker 1: clothing boutique store in a near bool. That's awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's one guy said before this, I was living
Speaker 2: paycheck to paycheck. Now I can you know, now I
Speaker 2: can live my life. Another guy took his entire family
Speaker 2: on vacation to Cancun, Mexico. Others are paying down credit cards,
Speaker 2: buying cars, funding college tuition, retirement savings. One longtime assistant
Speaker 2: manager T. T. Blackwell is his name, sixty seven years old,
Speaker 2: got a bonus of several hundred thousand dollars and guess
Speaker 2: what he did retired retired done? How about that? And
Speaker 2: and that? I mean, but think about that. So this
Speaker 2: guy owns the company and he wanted to you know
Speaker 2: he he he said, look, I had a lot of
Speaker 2: people that stuck with me when this company was going
Speaker 2: through hard time. Yep, he but it says in here,
Speaker 2: you know, he continued to pay these people even though
Speaker 2: the company was struggling. But he said, little by little
Speaker 2: they build it back up into the I And you know, look,
Speaker 2: if someone wants to come and buy your company for
Speaker 2: one point seven billion dollars, you're doing something right. Yes,
Speaker 2: you got five hundred and forty employees and every single
Speaker 2: one of them. God. But now some of these bonuses
Speaker 2: are paid out over a span of five years, which
Speaker 2: to me seems they that's that's still a damn nice bonus.
Speaker 2: But think about that, and so the question is I
Speaker 2: thought about that. I have never been in a situation
Speaker 2: where I had a company that was I've had. Look,
Speaker 2: I've had a lot of the companies I worked for
Speaker 2: have done some nice especially I've worked in some smaller businesses,
Speaker 2: and it's the small business owners outside of the media
Speaker 2: or outside of the outside of me that that tend
Speaker 2: to be a lot more generous when you know, when
Speaker 2: Christmas time rolls around, stuff like that. I've never gotten
Speaker 2: a Christmas bonus but immediate because but I've never never
Speaker 2: expected It's just not something that happens. I'm not complaining
Speaker 2: about my own personal situation, but I would like to
Speaker 2: hear from others about maybe maybe you worked at a
Speaker 2: company where they did something similar, took care of the
Speaker 2: people who you know. This guy looked back and he said, look,
Speaker 2: he's forty six years old. He's fine, But he said,
Speaker 2: I want the other people to be fine. To my
Speaker 2: dad and got restless soul He owned a small business
Speaker 2: for a while, and that business eventually wound up going under.
Speaker 2: But I know at the time when that business was
Speaker 2: going under, the thing he was concerned about the most
Speaker 2: were the people who worked for him, and he did
Speaker 2: everything in his power to make sure that those people
Speaker 2: were going to be all right before he finally had
Speaker 2: to close the doors. So there are business people out
Speaker 2: there who have great ethics like that that are very
Speaker 2: concerned about the people that work with them, the people
Speaker 2: that work for them. You know, there's longtime employees, but
Speaker 2: this guy, do you talk I putting your money where
Speaker 2: your mouth is. Five hundred and forty employees and they're
Speaker 2: all getting six figure bonuses. That is I have never
Speaker 2: written it done part of anything like that. Good deeds
Speaker 2: that a company has done for you, or you've heard
Speaker 2: about five and three seven four nine, seven thousand. Let's
Speaker 2: go to gym. That might be my favorite story.
Speaker 1: Also, by the way, let's go to Jim in Westchester
Speaker 1: who wants to win.
Speaker 7: Hey Jim, Hey, I was pretty fortunate.
Speaker 12: I worked. I worked for fifty years, and twenty of
Speaker 12: it my first twenty I was in the military, and
Speaker 12: I ended up getting a college education. Yes, Sir as
Speaker 12: well as serving my country. And I came out with
Speaker 12: a pension and my medical taken care of by Trivecare.
Speaker 12: Then I went to work for a K Steel which
Speaker 12: just formed the company from Armcow and I worked thirty
Speaker 12: years for them. Yeah, and it was it was. It
Speaker 12: was a great environment to work under. I met some
Speaker 12: wonderful people. But it was all based on you know,
Speaker 12: companies have to be you know, able the leader ship
Speaker 12: fast and form profit margins and and if you want
Speaker 12: to keep people working and keep them employed. And a
Speaker 12: lot of that is is based on you know, what
Speaker 12: the market value is for steel and and and such
Speaker 12: like that.
Speaker 9: At that point, and uh the.
Speaker 12: Management of the company did a good job. They ended
Speaker 12: up buying all of Armcow up and put it under
Speaker 12: the same A K flag. And there was there was
Speaker 12: some ups and downs. We had some outages and and
Speaker 12: things like that, and a couple of laborers pubes, but
Speaker 12: at the end of the day, a lot of people
Speaker 12: ended up retired and and and getting.
Speaker 2: The bench in That's nice.
Speaker 9: That was. That was a good thing.
Speaker 1: Hey, good stuff, Jim, thanks for weighing in, Thanks for Wayne,
Speaker 1: and let's go to uh Brett and Mason who wants
Speaker 1: to weigh in on good company deeds?
Speaker 11: Hey Brett, any guys, Hey, yeah, I know a lot
Speaker 11: of stuff we're talking about right now has to do
Speaker 11: with monetary you know, monetary competence. But I had a boss.
Speaker 11: I worked for a devents contractor up in the Dayton area,
Speaker 11: and I had a boss in my last job that
Speaker 11: I don't even know how to explain it. The appreciation
Speaker 11: that she would show you was absolutely amazing.
Speaker 8: You.
Speaker 11: I would come into my office, into my desk and
Speaker 11: there would be hand written calligraphy on envelopes and you
Speaker 11: open it and there's this wonderful card and it's all
Speaker 11: hand written and little you know, designs and things very
Speaker 11: very you know, someone took their time, took their time
Speaker 11: about what they thought about writing, took their time in
Speaker 11: making it and stuff. And you know, sometimes that's better
Speaker 11: than a bonus. I know that sounds kind of crazy, right,
Speaker 11: I know, that money, But yeah, man, and let me
Speaker 11: tell you something that that that kept you going. I mean,
Speaker 11: and she didn't do it just once. I mean, you know,
Speaker 11: we'd have a project, a lot of work, a lot
Speaker 11: of challenges, and then you know, something like that would
Speaker 11: show up. You know, they maybe a little piece of
Speaker 11: candy or or whatever it was. Or no, actually she
Speaker 11: made homemade stuff. What am I talking about? She didn't
Speaker 11: homemay cookies and different things like that. And I don't know, man,
Speaker 11: that that really that's the only boss I ever had
Speaker 11: that did that. And if she would have said would
Speaker 11: you if somebody would have said you went five hundred
Speaker 11: dollars or you want what she just did, I'd say,
Speaker 11: I'll take what she just did, you know what I mean,
Speaker 11: because it's just the value in it, in the morale
Speaker 11: and everything. It's just amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that that that little bit just going the
Speaker 2: extra mile or letting someone know that how much they're
Speaker 2: appreciated and what they do on a regular basis, how
Speaker 2: much is it's appreciated. I mean, you get a lot
Speaker 2: of mileage out of that. And I think that's just
Speaker 2: a great way to treat people. I know if I
Speaker 2: was in that situation, that's something because it as long
Speaker 2: as I've been around, I know the times that it's
Speaker 2: happened in my career, in my life where you get
Speaker 2: that little bit of recognition or so someone says, you
Speaker 2: know what you're really doing, You're you're doing something right, yep,
Speaker 2: And I mean it just it puts a lot of
Speaker 2: wind in your sales and I think across the board,
Speaker 2: it just makes for better relations between the employer and
Speaker 2: the employee.
Speaker 1: And Brett from Mason, thanks for that call.
Speaker 2: And I'm glad.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up, Brett, Uh, and you
Speaker 1: said it very nicely there, Dan, Like I know some
Speaker 1: people it's hard for them to grasp like cool, I
Speaker 1: didn't well, it's it's you know, you didn't give me
Speaker 1: more money, or you didn't give me that like those
Speaker 1: those things like what Brett was talking about are a huge,
Speaker 1: huge deal. And what I've noticed as I've gone through
Speaker 1: my career in newsrooms, what I've noticed is a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of the the younger uh caught my
Speaker 1: a lot of my younger colleagues, And this has been
Speaker 1: in recent years that I've noticed, like those kinds of
Speaker 1: things seems to mean more to them, uh than what
Speaker 1: even from my generation I'm gen X, but from my
Speaker 1: generation that I came up with through my career here,
Speaker 1: some of the younger, my younger colleagues now like those
Speaker 1: little those types of things that Brett's talking about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's not like hey, here's an extra couple thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: It's more of hey, you're appreciated. It can it can
Speaker 1: even be hey, you know the boss, stop by your desk, Hey,
Speaker 1: I really I really liked what you did there, or
Speaker 1: you know, like you said a handwritten note, or here's
Speaker 1: some homemade cookies, something like that. I think that stuff.
Speaker 1: I agree with Brett that stuff goes along.
Speaker 2: And I wonder if if you're someone that works from home,
Speaker 2: that if you don't go into the office all the time,
Speaker 2: that you you sort of miss out on that you know,
Speaker 2: that whole that whole interaction that that you may or
Speaker 2: may not have, and so you really if you if
Speaker 2: you can't connect with that in any certain way, then
Speaker 2: that's just the whole aspect I think of your work life, yep,
Speaker 2: that you're missing out of. And it can be you know,
Speaker 2: it can be really important good.
Speaker 1: Company deeds, something nice that you've seen, you know, your
Speaker 1: company do for you or for a family member or friend,
Speaker 1: or you know a neighbor that said, hey, let's listen
Speaker 1: to this, but love to hear from you. Five one
Speaker 1: three seven four ninety seven thousand. He entered the Big One.
Speaker 2: Well, I was just going to say that I was
Speaker 2: looking at and this story again was in the New
Speaker 2: York Post. But this guy who sold the company in Louisiana,
Speaker 2: he he had some other buyers who were interested in
Speaker 2: buying his company, and so he wanted this to be
Speaker 2: a provision of the deal because a lot of times
Speaker 2: they say, look, I want to give these bonus. So
Speaker 2: let's say, yeah, we'll do it. You know, we will
Speaker 2: do it on a handshake whatever, and it will never happen.
Speaker 2: And there are other companies that backed out of this
Speaker 2: deal because of this. So think about the company that
Speaker 2: he sold to agreed to this, and what does that
Speaker 2: say about the company that he sold to. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think that says a lot about them too, no doubt
Speaker 2: in a good way.
Speaker 1: And how beautiful is it that that guy was in
Speaker 1: a position that he could do that. Yeah, he wouldn't
Speaker 1: sell it, Yeah, No, he worked so hard to build
Speaker 1: that company and to take care of those employees.
Speaker 2: That's beautiful. Let's go to Uh. We had some phone
Speaker 2: is lit up here, but we've got time. We got
Speaker 2: to get the traffic on weather. Actually, I think we
Speaker 2: do to get the traffic and we'll back to the
Speaker 2: phone calls. We got more calls. We're gonna take your
Speaker 2: calls on this. We got a couple other things we
Speaker 2: want to throw out too. I got one for you, Dan.
Speaker 2: I can't wait.
Speaker 1: Coming up after the break. But let's get to traffic
Speaker 1: and weather. What's up? Welcome back to the news Radio
Speaker 1: seven hundred w L w Eddie and Rocky Show. Eddie
Speaker 1: Rocky are out today. Jason Williams, Dan Carroll, get ready
Speaker 1: for the big weekend. He's Dan Carroll Big Weekend. Yeah
Speaker 1: that y'all already knew that. I don't know what goes
Speaker 1: on the weekend before between Christmas.
Speaker 2: And New Year's Absolutely nothing. Nothing.
Speaker 1: You try to do A whole bunch of nothing, A whole.
Speaker 2: Bunch of nothing.
Speaker 1: Right now, this is the deadist period of the year,
Speaker 1: that week between Christmas and New Year's. I know it
Speaker 1: is if you're in the news business. Yes, that's I
Speaker 1: know it is. Although wasn't there one year you and
Speaker 1: I I say, this is the fourth year we've done
Speaker 1: on this. You think it's been longer where we've done
Speaker 1: this week? Uh, filling in on Eddie and Rocky. There
Speaker 1: was one year though, where you and I had a
Speaker 1: ton of news that we uh we got to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, every once in a while it happened.
Speaker 2: But then, you know, especially in the TV business, you
Speaker 2: go in there and and uh and you know you
Speaker 2: talk to you know, and again, the newsrooms at this
Speaker 2: time of year pretty much had a lot of people
Speaker 2: are taking off. Yeah, a lot of skeleton crews. So
Speaker 2: you've got you've got a producer maybe an assistant producer
Speaker 2: or an associate producer they're called in the business, uh,
Speaker 2: and and a few reporters and you're sitting around talking
Speaker 2: to each other. You know, the news director's taking off,
Speaker 2: executive producer nowhere to be found, and you're sitting there
Speaker 2: and you're like, what are we doing today? We're praying
Speaker 2: to the news gods, that's what we're as. We're praying for,
Speaker 2: you know, for something to happen, because otherwise you got
Speaker 2: to sitting around and kick around and if they come
Speaker 2: up and try to find some ideas something like that, hope,
Speaker 2: hope something drops in your lap. So, yeah, this time
Speaker 2: of year is tough because I mean, the city council
Speaker 2: is not in you know, government is pretty much taken
Speaker 2: that Trump. That's the thing about it. When it comes
Speaker 2: to you know national news.
Speaker 1: Usually Trump never takes the day off, right, This is
Speaker 1: usually a time and there's no government politics stuff going
Speaker 1: except for Trump.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I mean he he you know, he
Speaker 2: bombed a bunch of terrorists last night, So I mean it,
Speaker 2: there's you know, there, there's that with with that guy.
Speaker 2: That guy is a whirling dervish of news time. I
Speaker 2: haven't heard that. I heard that. They just keep coming
Speaker 2: from the Trump so they just keep on on a
Speaker 2: local sense. You know this, it's a tough time of year.
Speaker 2: So I've been there, I've done that, and I'm glad
Speaker 2: I'm here with you.
Speaker 1: I'm glad to be here with you as well. Dan,
Speaker 1: you had a great story. He had a great story.
Speaker 1: Good good deeds.
Speaker 2: Companies do that probably that probably is one of my
Speaker 2: favorite stories. And here's something I want to do. I
Speaker 2: got two things I want to do next week. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so because you and I are going to be here
Speaker 2: Freddie and Rocky next week. Yes, one is uh would
Speaker 2: the games the two of the three football games were
Speaker 2: on Netflix last night and so correct during the I
Speaker 2: don't know if they did it during the first game,
Speaker 2: but I know during the second game they they rolled
Speaker 2: a trailer for a new movie about John Madden and
Speaker 2: Nicholas Cage is going to be John Madden. And then
Speaker 2: you got who's the other guy is going to be
Speaker 2: Alder Christ Christen Bale. I mean it Batman, big time act.
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't name all the movies Nicholas Cage
Speaker 2: has been there, Kristen Bale have been a lot of
Speaker 2: movies too.
Speaker 1: It's funny to see it. I'm gonna be interesting to
Speaker 1: see Nicholas Cage as John Madden because you don't think
Speaker 1: of Nicholas Cage right as being I don't think like
Speaker 1: John Goodman has been as being like John Madden. You
Speaker 1: know that's that's not bad. But I think Nicholas Cage,
Speaker 1: I really think he's a good actor. Oh yeah, no
Speaker 1: doubt so.
Speaker 2: I'm looking. I'm looking. But I think that's a lot
Speaker 2: to bite off for a subject matter because you think
Speaker 2: about Madden, I mean, a guy who was bigger than life,
Speaker 2: a guy who is so unique. I mean there's really
Speaker 2: there's no one else who even comes close to being
Speaker 2: like Madden was, either as a coach and especially in
Speaker 2: the broadcast booth, and just a great legacy in both
Speaker 2: of those places, and the kind of guy wasn't And
Speaker 2: when we know so much about Madden, especially you know
Speaker 2: the people in my generation and probably you're j I
Speaker 2: mean you probably saw a lot of Mad on TV
Speaker 2: the way he was. Yeah, but how do you know?
Speaker 2: Number one, how do you capture that? And then number two,
Speaker 2: how do you get that to project through? I guess
Speaker 2: what will be TV screens because it's going to be
Speaker 2: it's a Netflix picture, so it'll be on your on
Speaker 2: your TV. I think that's the real challenge and it's
Speaker 2: going to be interesting to see who how Nicholas Cage
Speaker 2: pulls it off. But Meryl Hodge, who was on the
Speaker 2: All Madden team when John Madden died, I start to
Speaker 2: remember this. The first person I contacted was Meryl Hodge
Speaker 2: and I said, Hey, if John Madden died, can you
Speaker 2: come on? And you know I was on the I
Speaker 2: think I was in for Cunningham that day. I said,
Speaker 2: can you come on and talk about John? Manning says, oh,
Speaker 2: I love John matt And it turned out Merril Hodge
Speaker 2: was on the All Madden team and he came on
Speaker 2: and told just a couple of great stories about John. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So so I've reached out to Merrill Hodge. Hopefully we'll
Speaker 2: have him as a guest next week because you and
Speaker 2: I here Monday Wednesday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
Speaker 1: I miss Marrill Hodge on ESPN. He was great.
Speaker 2: He did great job as an analyst. I mean just
Speaker 2: super great when it comes to breaking down the Bengals
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. But such great stories about John
Speaker 2: madd So I'll be interested to hear get his take
Speaker 2: on this movie and and uh, you know what, what
Speaker 2: what he thinks. I just think that's good. It's good.
Speaker 2: It's not going to be an easy task. I think
Speaker 2: pulling off Nicholas Cage John Madden, I mean he's got I.
Speaker 1: Don't think so either.
Speaker 2: But I mean, you know, how are they going to
Speaker 2: do And I'm hoping they do it good because I would.
Speaker 2: I would like to think that they're going to do
Speaker 2: something that is going to be a great o'mad to
Speaker 2: thank John Man because he deserves it.
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy I would. I would think it's
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going.
Speaker 2: To be very positive, right Yeah, speaking of movies, and
Speaker 2: then the other thing, I want to do one more thing. Yes,
Speaker 2: we have not done what we think are our top
Speaker 2: stories of the year. So I want to give you
Speaker 2: a little homework assignment this weekend.
Speaker 1: I've already got I've already started working on.
Speaker 2: And we always do that. Yeah, there's a local news
Speaker 2: anchor I want to try to get on one day
Speaker 2: next week again when Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday will be here.
Speaker 2: I don't know what day it's going to happen, but
Speaker 2: I'm just, you know, kind of kind of doing some
Speaker 2: show prep out loud here. I'm thinking, I want to
Speaker 2: get a news anchor, what a particular news anchor that
Speaker 2: I want to get on next week? Talk about what
Speaker 2: were the biggest stories of the year from a local
Speaker 2: sense in a national sense.
Speaker 1: Do you have a certain news anchor in mind? Yes,
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: I wanted to disclose that information at this time to
Speaker 2: someone I like. I'd have no idea because you know,
Speaker 2: you're not all that easy to get along with.
Speaker 1: I actually like, I mean, of the hand of the
Speaker 1: few news anchors I know I like them all there
Speaker 1: you go, I don't know that many.
Speaker 2: So it's probably something that's probably someone you like, all right,
Speaker 2: but I don't. I mean, I have not made the
Speaker 2: overture yet, so I don't want to put the cart
Speaker 2: in front of the Horse.
Speaker 1: You mentioned movies there. I'm actually going to a movie
Speaker 1: the night right after the show.
Speaker 2: Are you really going to see the I love what
Speaker 2: our buddy Steve Oldfield said about that the other day.
Speaker 2: You know, you got family over a house, guests or
Speaker 2: standing play, Let's go to a movie that way, you
Speaker 2: don't talk to him for two and a half hours.
Speaker 1: Well, that's who my my son's both got for from
Speaker 1: my grandparents got movie gift cards. So we're gonna go
Speaker 1: see that David movie about David and Goliath.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an animated film. Animated? Is it a Disney piece?
Speaker 2: Is a Disney pick? Disney is?
Speaker 1: I don't really honestly, I've seen like a I've seen
Speaker 1: a trailer on Oh. I can't wait to hear your
Speaker 1: review come Monday. So we're like, yeah, let's go do
Speaker 1: something tonight. So we're gonna go to movie and go. Man,
Speaker 1: that's we had to shop around to find open seats
Speaker 1: in the movie theater really here? Oh yeah, our preferred
Speaker 1: theater was there's no seats available for the seven o'clock showing,
Speaker 1: so we found another place.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna go see that.
Speaker 1: I cannot tell you the last time I saw a
Speaker 1: movie in the theater.
Speaker 2: Dan, Well, and before you told me what movie you're
Speaker 2: gonna see, I was gonna say what movie has peaked
Speaker 2: your interest? Well, because I really can't think of anything
Speaker 2: that's in the theater right now that I you know that,
Speaker 2: I'm a move to go and my younger son go see.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll tell them that. Maybe I'll maybe you know what,
Speaker 2: maybe I'll drop that on the white And here's the thing.
Speaker 2: If so many people going to the movies right now,
Speaker 2: maybe I won't be able to go last minute and
Speaker 2: just walk in and buy a ticket. Maybe not, So
Speaker 2: maybe we won't go to the movie. I don't know,
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'll report back. My younger son's been wanting
Speaker 2: to go. This is he's been leading the charge on
Speaker 2: this one to go. So we're going. So it's going
Speaker 2: to be a good, a good family, good family evening now.
Speaker 2: But it's just it's funny to think because I'm like,
Speaker 2: you know, growing up, I mean, not never like my dad,
Speaker 2: Like my mom and dad weren't they weren't big movie people.
Speaker 2: So like we never really went to the movie, but
Speaker 2: we would go with like our mom or our aunt
Speaker 2: would take me and my brothers and cousins here and there.
Speaker 2: But like now, like when you think about things to
Speaker 2: do as a family, or even not as a family,
Speaker 2: like I never think of going to the movie theater,
Speaker 2: and that was always something on the list growing up. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: I uh, I grew up in Marymont that we moved
Speaker 2: to Anderson Township when I was here to marry my
Speaker 2: theater ten years old. Yeah, we and we used to.
Speaker 2: We used to go to Marymont Theater all the time,
Speaker 2: pack in a bunch of neighborhood kids in the car
Speaker 2: and rent rumble on down there to the theater. I
Speaker 2: used to live. I think, you know, they did matt
Speaker 2: and As for you know, fifty cents or a buck
Speaker 2: or something like that. So the parents were like, unbeknownst
Speaker 2: to me at the time, I thought they were doing
Speaker 2: something cool. No, they were getting rid of us, for
Speaker 2: I got a great you know, there's like a double
Speaker 2: oh what you'd see two movies from the price of one.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, So I used to live and god
Speaker 2: knows what they were walking distance of the Marymont Theater.
Speaker 2: I lived in its actually Columbia Township, but right across
Speaker 2: the road from so I could walk from my house
Speaker 2: on Cambridge Avenue over to uh the Merrymont Theater, right,
Speaker 2: and like sometimes you just we just walk over there
Speaker 2: and we get a hankering for some movie popcorn, So
Speaker 2: we just walk over there to get popcorn.
Speaker 1: One night, my wife, when she was pregnant with our
Speaker 1: first son, she was like, craving popcorn. I went and
Speaker 1: got the absolute big and I took a picture of
Speaker 1: it because I'm like, how am I going to get
Speaker 1: this home without spilling it. I put it in the
Speaker 1: passenger seat of my of my uh I had a
Speaker 1: Chevy Tahoe at the time, and I put it the
Speaker 1: seat belt around there, and I took a picture of it.
Speaker 1: I was like, is this okay? They did the job,
Speaker 1: like kept the big old thing of popcorn intact. Imagine
Speaker 1: the cop walking up to that car. All right, all right,
Speaker 1: let's see what's going on there. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then you had to say, now you remember there
Speaker 2: was a back when It's My Fox nineteen days that
Speaker 2: there was one of the the the young ladies that
Speaker 2: was she was. She was a floor director and then
Speaker 2: she eventually became a director. She had a part time
Speaker 2: job at a movie theater. So the movie the movie theater,
Speaker 2: they came out with this whole thing like where they
Speaker 2: stopped using the canola oil or whatever it was that
Speaker 2: really made it taste, gave it that real, that real,
Speaker 2: you know, theatre popcorn kind of thing. So that it
Speaker 2: was the last day the theater where she worked, it
Speaker 2: was the last day they were going to use it.
Speaker 2: She comes in the next day with two of the
Speaker 2: biggest clear plastic bags I've ever seen with popcorn, and
Speaker 2: she said, she threw them out there and said, here
Speaker 2: you go, this is the last time you'll ever be
Speaker 2: able to have popcorn like this. Wow, And we all
Speaker 2: dug in, man, it was it was. It was bliss,
Speaker 2: absolute bliss launched on that popcorn.
Speaker 1: Dan, I Always love you and I teaming up here
Speaker 1: Eddie and Rocky show. It's been a fun week and
Speaker 1: we get to do it again at least three days
Speaker 1: next Yeah. Anyway, let's get to uh, we gotta get
Speaker 1: some traffic. What's up out there.
