Speaker 1: Don't want it.
Speaker 2: Sloading here on seven hundred w wel W. As you know,
Speaker 2: the deep freeze held over for a second week. I
Speaker 2: think that is the big story here as we kick
Speaker 2: off the work week. Coldest part of the year is
Speaker 2: happening right now. Another one to three or possibly even
Speaker 2: more inches of snow coming tomorrow. We're in the thicket
Speaker 2: things right now. Doesn't look like we're gonna get warm
Speaker 2: enough to do much for an extended period till maybe
Speaker 2: a week from now, if that we shall see. Jumping
Speaker 2: in right now with the from the car show on
Speaker 2: fifty five KRC Dane Donovan, Donovan's Taranauto and Ridge and
Speaker 2: Blue Ash. Because every car I got, like three people
Speaker 2: in my family all their cars are dead because of
Speaker 2: the cold. It's happened all over the place. Dane, the
Speaker 2: busiest guy in Cincinnati. There's no question about it. How
Speaker 2: full is your parking.
Speaker 3: Lot, Scott? It is? Yeah, we are, we are well,
Speaker 3: just we don't have a spot. We don't have a spot.
Speaker 2: Here's the other thing too, because typically it's a battery issue,
Speaker 2: because we know the cold drains battery power. You go
Speaker 2: in your car and all of a sudden, nothing's going on,
Speaker 2: it's probably too late.
Speaker 4: Can you even get a battery anywhere these days?
Speaker 2: And iman with with all the cold, as much people's
Speaker 2: affective from the south to here and westward, it's got
Speaker 2: to be pretty tight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you can still get batteries. Most of
Speaker 3: your newer vehicles now have what's they have it, what's
Speaker 3: what's called an a GM battery. It's not lead acid.
Speaker 3: It's a dry cell battery, which of course involves more
Speaker 3: cost because of all the electronics on these cars. These
Speaker 3: cars demand a lot more of of vehicle battery and
Speaker 3: you still can't get them, but they are significantly higher,
Speaker 3: you know. It's you're not paying forty nine bucks for
Speaker 3: a battery anymore in your vehicle. They're significantly higher, you know.
Speaker 3: And the other thing that a lot of people don't
Speaker 3: realize the average life of a battery in our region
Speaker 3: is only three to four years. That's the average life.
Speaker 3: You know a lot of people go, I just had
Speaker 3: a battery replaced and might go back and like, well
Speaker 3: you had to replace four years ago. Well that's that's
Speaker 3: only four Well that's the average life of a battery.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we don't realize that. You know,
Speaker 3: when we plug our phones in every night, that you know,
Speaker 3: but your car demands a lot more of your battery
Speaker 3: with all the electronics and the power doors and the
Speaker 3: radios and the backup cameras, so you know, they are
Speaker 3: used a lot more. Some vehicles even have two batteries
Speaker 3: because a lot of these cars have the.
Speaker 5: You know, the the uh like a hybrid.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, you've got your hybrids and then you got
Speaker 3: the ones that you know will shut off, you know,
Speaker 3: and then restart when you let off the brake. So yeah,
Speaker 3: there's there's there's a lot more demand. And the other
Speaker 3: thing about a battery is and a lot of people
Speaker 3: don't realize this is one. It's it's absolutely important that
Speaker 3: you get it checked regularly, right, and and it's something
Speaker 3: that it's something that can be done very easily. We
Speaker 3: we we do it for free. But you know, I
Speaker 3: can test the battery today and tomorrow it'd be absolutely dead,
Speaker 3: you know, one of the cells just die. So you know,
Speaker 3: there are usually warning signs of a battery like a
Speaker 3: slow start or a slow crank, uh. But it's it's
Speaker 3: it's very important that you get it tested because again,
Speaker 3: the extreme heat, extreme cold put puts a lot of
Speaker 3: hard work on your battery, Dane.
Speaker 4: Don what's worse for the car that's cold weather.
Speaker 3: The heat cold the cold is is a lot is
Speaker 3: a lot harder on these vehicles, especially when you get
Speaker 3: into emissions and the engine. And you know, uh, there's
Speaker 3: always been this debate that you know that you know,
Speaker 3: if you start it and let it run a little
Speaker 3: bit and get it warmed up before you just starts
Speaker 3: car and just take off. And I believe that's an
Speaker 3: important thing. You know, you want to that that discosity.
Speaker 3: That oil when it's as cold as it is is
Speaker 3: real thick, right, so it puts a little bit more,
Speaker 3: you know, it makes the engine work a little bit harder.
Speaker 3: So most of us nowadays have the remote start, and yes,
Speaker 3: it is a good idea to do the remote start.
Speaker 3: Just let it run an idle a little bit, let
Speaker 3: it get warmed up, and it's a little bit harder
Speaker 3: on on the engine. And it would be like you know,
Speaker 3: you getting up at you know when when you get
Speaker 3: up at four or five whatever and just running a
Speaker 3: marathon or running five miles right without getting you know,
Speaker 3: some coffee or some caffeine.
Speaker 4: Or Yeah, it used to be back in.
Speaker 2: The old days, it was, you know, a carburetor engine,
Speaker 2: which there are fewer of now because I'll feel injected.
Speaker 2: But you'd have to let that warm up. It's like
Speaker 2: I got to warm the car up, otherwise it's gonna
Speaker 2: stall out and cough and everything else because it's not warm.
Speaker 2: Less less true on fuel injected cars. But still to
Speaker 2: get that oil running through the engine and warmed up
Speaker 2: before you, you know, shift it to year is probably
Speaker 2: a good idea. Hey, real quick, on the on the
Speaker 2: battery thing, there's a you know, you can't replace your
Speaker 2: own battery. It's not really that hard, but you know
Speaker 2: you mentioned in today's cars with the electronics in there.
Speaker 4: My son called his car.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't started as a hybrid and he was worded, was
Speaker 2: a big battery, and'm like, now there's that.
Speaker 4: That's a separate thing. Entirely. Get a new bet.
Speaker 2: He did, and his friend had one too, and her
Speaker 2: car died and uh, you know she has a Honda
Speaker 2: and she put the battery and called back and said,
Speaker 2: all the warning lights are on. I have no idea
Speaker 2: what to do. Like, well, each car is a little
Speaker 2: bit different. That is more about the computer, right, that's
Speaker 2: learning that there's a new battery in there and processing
Speaker 2: and eventually it will take care of itself. But it's
Speaker 2: not really a daunting test getting the battery exchanging because
Speaker 2: you get a you know, your deposit back. It's called
Speaker 2: a core exchange. You get ten bucks or whatever it
Speaker 2: is when you bring that a return that it's a
Speaker 2: little more work if you want to get your hands dirty,
Speaker 2: if you can find a battery and know I do
Speaker 2: it on my cars.
Speaker 4: It's just an easy thing for me to do.
Speaker 2: But I could see where you're you know, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe taking to someone like yourself to get that done.
Speaker 4: So each car is a little bit different.
Speaker 2: There's some nuances, so it's not just like the old
Speaker 2: days where you plug a battery in and go. You
Speaker 2: mentioned you do computer control batteries. There's a little bit
Speaker 2: more thing, little wonky things it could go on when
Speaker 2: you replace it.
Speaker 3: Yes, correct, absolutely, And that's the thing again when I'm
Speaker 3: going back to the electronics. But you know your car.
Speaker 3: You know a car back in the eighties that you
Speaker 3: had one computer that ran everything right. Nowadays, all these
Speaker 3: newer cars have eighteen to twenty to thirty different modules
Speaker 3: and computers. And when a battery dies or has low voltage. Yes,
Speaker 3: the car will sit there and the car will go, oh,
Speaker 3: we have low voltage and we're not getting a proper voltage.
Speaker 3: So yeah, your airbag light comes on, your check engine
Speaker 3: light comes on, you know, and that's all due to
Speaker 3: the fact that the voltage of the battery is down
Speaker 3: and those components are getting a proper volage. So yeah,
Speaker 3: you do want to make sure that when you do it,
Speaker 3: you do it properly, you do it correct. You know,
Speaker 3: a lot of these vehicles, especially like you mentioned the hybrids,
Speaker 3: you know, Prius their twelve volt battery is in the trunk.
Speaker 3: The battery is completely dead. Well none of the electronics work,
Speaker 3: so you have to literally crawl through the back seat
Speaker 3: to get to this battery and it can It's it's
Speaker 3: a daunting task sometimes and then everybody goes, well, you know,
Speaker 3: I can't believe this battery is for you know, on
Speaker 3: a on a newer camerie. You know, they're they're about
Speaker 3: six hundred and fifty dollars to replace the battery and
Speaker 3: simply because of where they're located and in the cost
Speaker 3: of them, and it's a dry it's a dry. So
Speaker 3: the Mercedes SUVs, the batteries underneath the passenger side seat.
Speaker 3: You have to remove the passenger side seat in order
Speaker 3: to replace the battery on a Mercedes Suv. Not all SUVs,
Speaker 3: but some of them who engineered to remove a whole
Speaker 3: entire seat just to put a.
Speaker 4: Battery like it's not like something that doesn't need to
Speaker 4: bring you know, feel pumps last a good long time
Speaker 4: these days, see that. But now you got to pull
Speaker 4: the seat out to do something that's fairly routine maintenance. Anyway,
Speaker 4: every every two to three years, he's stayed Donovan from
Speaker 4: the car show on fifty five KR. See wee can.
Speaker 2: It's also with Donovan's Tyronado on Ridge and Blue Ash.
Speaker 2: Coldest stretch of the year or so far right here
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati with some snow getting dumped tomorrow. So we're
Speaker 2: talking about everyone's car dying right now. What you can
Speaker 2: do real quick on the battery because I don't want
Speaker 2: to dwell, and this is a couple other things I
Speaker 2: want to mention, But what about those you know it
Speaker 2: needs to be you get the jumper cables out here
Speaker 2: in Fear people are doing that. They have those little
Speaker 2: battery packs that you can charge up, leave it your
Speaker 2: glub box if you need you recommend.
Speaker 3: Those absolutely absolutely. I see far less damage to other
Speaker 3: vehicles when we have the jump packs. The jump packs
Speaker 3: are you know, they're they're reliable. You can get them
Speaker 3: as little as probably about fifty bucks. You can get
Speaker 3: them online, have them delivered to your house. Far less
Speaker 3: damage do we see. So many people will put the
Speaker 3: jump the jumper cables on incorrectly and not only do
Speaker 3: they break their core, but then whoever's jumping them they
Speaker 3: break their car as well. Just had it happen a
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, friend of mindset, I am you
Speaker 3: know so, yes, jumper cables are a thing of the past.
Speaker 3: I highly recommend the jumper packs now. We have we
Speaker 3: have three of them here at just at my Ridge
Speaker 3: location and we use them every single day, and I
Speaker 3: highly recommend them now. Now, the one that we use
Speaker 3: is it's a little bit more commercial industrial, but I
Speaker 3: mean it's you know, it's expensive. It's like about two
Speaker 3: hundred bucks. But I'm telling you they're worth their weight
Speaker 3: and gold, and far less damage comes from the jump
Speaker 3: packs than using jumper cases.
Speaker 2: It's got to remember to charge them every once in
Speaker 2: a while. That's the key, right, there you caking charge
Speaker 2: to the irregular battery too in the car, and it's
Speaker 2: always ready to go. Yeah, that's that's and it's also
Speaker 2: idiot proof. It tells you know what lights are on
Speaker 2: the whole thing. It checks itself. You can't screw that up.
Speaker 2: Unlike jumper cables. You do it wrong. And because cars
Speaker 2: are computers now, of course you can really cast some serious,
Speaker 2: serious monetary damage to your vehicle. Yeah, you don't want
Speaker 2: to do that. Another thing too, People forget this because
Speaker 2: we talk about tires and mechanical issues and stuff, and
Speaker 2: it's really really cold weather lubrication. And I try to
Speaker 2: make this a habit every fall when I'm I don't know,
Speaker 2: I think of it. And that is get a little
Speaker 2: W forty whatever put on our rag and do all
Speaker 2: the door seals around where you close your passenger, especially
Speaker 2: driver's side door, because you get a little water and
Speaker 2: there and the moisture the rubber gets old, it could
Speaker 2: cause your door to stick. Also a little bit of
Speaker 2: a lubrication, special graphite loobes and stuff for your door
Speaker 2: lock if you've still got a key door locked, but
Speaker 2: also your your hood hinges and the hood latch too.
Speaker 2: My son I mentioned who battery died. He also couldn't
Speaker 2: get his hood open because it was frozen. Said, well,
Speaker 2: you gotta, you gotta. What do you recommend? What types
Speaker 2: of lubricants do you recommend for that? And how is
Speaker 2: that really?
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it's a great question. Really. The best
Speaker 3: thing that you can do is is WD forty. You
Speaker 3: can use it on your door seals, right, you just
Speaker 3: get it, put it on a rag, wipe it on
Speaker 3: all your door seals. You can spray it in your
Speaker 3: door locks a lot of times, you know, we have
Speaker 3: we have that. You know that we always go to
Speaker 3: our key fob in order to unlock it, and that
Speaker 3: there's an actua or that unlocked it. But the actual
Speaker 3: the actual lock itself never gets used, so it gets frozen,
Speaker 3: it gets eased up. So you literally can spray w
Speaker 3: D forty in there and uh, and then on your
Speaker 3: hinges and on your hood latch and your trunk latches
Speaker 3: those are still you know, so literally one can can
Speaker 3: prevent a lot of damage and to your vehicle. And
Speaker 3: it's just one. And then you know, for those who
Speaker 3: maybe don't have a can or just need something. If
Speaker 3: most people in our kitchens have some pam, get a
Speaker 3: little bit of pan, put it on the door seals.
Speaker 3: You know, I wouldn't recommend it for door seal or
Speaker 3: for latches, but I mean even you know, but but
Speaker 3: so many times we see people, you know, they roll
Speaker 3: out that window down to get their morning cup of
Speaker 3: coffee or their loans or bread this, and they and
Speaker 3: that that that peel itself is frozen and it breaks
Speaker 3: the the you know, the window regulator or the motor. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and this time of year as well. Wiper arms, wiper blade.
Speaker 3: It's something that's so simple, but we don't talk about
Speaker 3: it enough. And you know, you you a lot of times,
Speaker 3: you know, the night before right using them, we shut
Speaker 3: the car off. We don't think about it, right, and
Speaker 3: then the next morning you go to start the car
Speaker 3: up and boom they're on and you snap the wiper
Speaker 3: transmission and it can cost your long mind. So you know,
Speaker 3: if you're if you're in the habit of just shutting
Speaker 3: your car off, then just leave the wiper arms up
Speaker 3: in the morning, right. You know, That's something that can
Speaker 3: save you a lot of headache, you know, because if
Speaker 3: your wipers break, especially when you've got the salt dew
Speaker 3: on the on the windshield. You've got you've got that sun.
Speaker 3: I know we haven't seen the sun in months, you know,
Speaker 3: but that's something that you can do too. Leave those
Speaker 3: wiper arms up. It's gonna save you a tremendous amount
Speaker 3: of money and headache, if you know. But I always
Speaker 3: tell everybody turn your wipers off before you shut the
Speaker 3: car off. And again I'm guilty of it myself. You know.
Speaker 2: It's always forget that, right yeah, and their auto too,
Speaker 2: so you really forgot me. It's not like the old
Speaker 2: wady switch stuff. You know, tomorrow case you make. It's
Speaker 2: better the old days. We could just get jumper cables
Speaker 2: and slip your battery out, turn your white pers on manually.
Speaker 2: It's like, uh, I'm going back, going Wow, maybe maybe
Speaker 2: it was simpler back in the day.
Speaker 3: I guess, well, yeah, I mean, you know, back when
Speaker 3: I started in this business twenty six years ago, we
Speaker 3: had cars, you know, back and fall. You know, we
Speaker 3: had people bringing their cars in because they want them
Speaker 3: winner rized. We don't win a rize cars anymore because
Speaker 3: these cars are are designed to go much longer and
Speaker 3: and things like that. But we always think about we
Speaker 3: always forget about the simple things, the batteries, the tire pressure.
Speaker 3: You know that, you know you're going to spend more money,
Speaker 3: you're gonna wear your tires out earlier, wear them out
Speaker 3: and and uh, you know, simply because of the fact
Speaker 3: that they're not properly inflated. So you want to make sure.
Speaker 3: And again, uh you know, every for every ten degrees
Speaker 3: that the ambient temperature drops, you lose one pound of air. Right,
Speaker 3: So when we're down into the zero digits, that tire
Speaker 3: light is on for a reason, that's because one or
Speaker 3: multiple tires are under inflated.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 3: I think my wife calls me about every other week
Speaker 3: to let you know that her tire light's on.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know, and I see so many people
Speaker 3: you know, at that at that pump spending a dollar
Speaker 3: fifty you put air in their tires. You know, at
Speaker 3: all of our locations, we'll check your tire pressure and
Speaker 3: check your tires for free. You come by, we'll check
Speaker 3: your air pressure. And but it's something I mean, tires
Speaker 3: are expensive, as you know, and if you want to
Speaker 3: prolong the life of your tire, make sure they're properly
Speaker 3: inflated in these temperatures. Make sure you check your battery regularly,
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, get a can of WD forty
Speaker 3: and it will save you a tremendous amount of money
Speaker 3: in these in these uh cold, frigid times.
Speaker 2: Now, there is an old wives tale daned out of
Speaker 2: it and it said, you know the winter, if you
Speaker 2: get snow like we're going to have tomorrow, you take
Speaker 2: a little bit of air out, makes the tire softer,
Speaker 2: puts more tread on the ground. And of course in
Speaker 2: the summer months when it's hotter, if you overinflate them slightly,
Speaker 2: it creates less resistance on the road, it saves you money.
Speaker 4: Is that actually do you of those things? Is that
Speaker 4: a good idea?
Speaker 3: No? I no, I don't believe so. I think I think,
Speaker 3: you know, again, going back to the eighties and nineties,
Speaker 3: when we had real wheel drive vehicles and you know,
Speaker 3: you put on your snow tires, that's probably relevant. But
Speaker 3: in today's vehicles most of them are all wheel drive.
Speaker 3: You've got all wheel you have all seasoned tires. They're
Speaker 3: designed to to deal with these types of you know,
Speaker 3: snows and temperatures and whatnot. So now I don't, uh,
Speaker 3: you know, I I don't think it's of it. In
Speaker 3: today's vehicles. I mean you can do that, but you know,
Speaker 3: again with the the frigid temperatures, you don't want to
Speaker 3: really underinflate these tires because again you're going to prematurely
Speaker 3: wear them down, you know, and instead of tire sometimes
Speaker 3: can be a thousand to two thousand dollars. Most people
Speaker 3: really don't like, you know, sometimes I use the reference
Speaker 3: I'm kind of like a kind of like a dentist, right,
Speaker 3: you don't want to go to your dentist, but it's
Speaker 3: something that you just have to do, and you know, so, yeah,
Speaker 3: we just.
Speaker 2: Cheaper cheaper than waiting, right, I mean, if you wait
Speaker 2: long enough, it's going to be a much more expensive
Speaker 2: repair rather than go and get in that oil. Change
Speaker 2: in fluids checked and all that stuff as well, and
Speaker 2: correct yeah, and making sure you have washer fluid, like
Speaker 2: I always checked my wife's washer fluid. And shouldn't you
Speaker 2: just I mean they have the the really well the
Speaker 2: sub zero stuff, I think the orange stuff that's good
Speaker 2: to like twenty below or something like that.
Speaker 4: Shouldn't you just could you use that year round?
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Yeah, absolutely, you can use it year round and
Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of times, you know, there are,
Speaker 3: especially in our area there are there is a stummer
Speaker 3: blend and kind of a winter blend of washer foods.
Speaker 3: So a lot of times people we get a lot
Speaker 3: of people that come in and say, hey, my my
Speaker 3: washer food's broken, my washer pump's broken, it's not working. Well,
Speaker 3: it's not broken, it's frozen because the fluid. So you know,
Speaker 3: we always make a we make that change over in
Speaker 3: in uh, you know, midsummer to the winter blend the
Speaker 3: other thing that you could do. And I love the product,
Speaker 3: and I'm of course not endorsed bying by any means,
Speaker 3: but there there's a product that go out there called
Speaker 3: rain X. Yeah, and it helps, uh, you know, beat
Speaker 3: the water off your windshield and also has washer flood
Speaker 3: in it and it's and it's so you really get
Speaker 3: you get a great product that you know, you prevent
Speaker 3: uh a lot of times the rain as you don't
Speaker 3: even have to turn your wipers on when it's raining
Speaker 3: because it just beads up and and and then it's
Speaker 3: for deep freezing, so it's not going to freeze on you.
Speaker 3: And you know you kind of come to one stone.
Speaker 4: To use that stuff.
Speaker 2: Back in the day, Dan and I just got old
Speaker 2: and lazy, I think, and I haven't used that in years,
Speaker 2: but well.
Speaker 3: Now they put it in. They put it in a
Speaker 3: one gallon jug. Gotta put it in Washington, Okay, I
Speaker 3: don't have to apply anything.
Speaker 2: You rub it out and polish it off and then
Speaker 2: rub it a second, got on for you know, a
Speaker 2: month or whatever, and now it's all right.
Speaker 4: Sounds in the fluid.
Speaker 3: Guy gallon joke. You go to your local parks place. Oh,
Speaker 3: just dump it in. Boom, You're done.
Speaker 4: Good advice. So you got a hard start.
Speaker 2: Make sure you got one of those battery back up
Speaker 2: very charged, because uh, you know, these things can go
Speaker 2: rather quickly, especially with this deep cold we're in right now.
Speaker 4: Hopefully it won't last much longer.
Speaker 2: The week Dan don have been from the car show
Speaker 2: fifty five k see weekends and of course over at
Speaker 2: Ridge and in Blue Ashes, all the two locations.
Speaker 4: Thanks again, brother, I appreciate.
Speaker 3: You, Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: All the best. Go back to work and get some batteries.
Speaker 2: There you go, good luck getting one. Oh they said
Speaker 2: they're still you can still find him, but depends on
Speaker 2: the model I suppose. Anyway, let's get a news update
Speaker 2: in and speaking of cold weather, that we're in right now,
Speaker 2: we'll get a little nostalgic. Next, something you probably and
Speaker 2: it has to do with vehicles, something you probably haven't
Speaker 2: heard in I don't know twenty or thirty years.
Speaker 4: Next lonly seven hundred W. All right, welcome to it.
Speaker 2: Back to the grind Scott's Loan Show on seven hundred
Speaker 2: w WELW lotsa cover today. Seth Walsh is your council
Speaker 2: member if you live in Cincinnati, you know, with all
Speaker 2: the snow and more snow expected tomorrow, wants to force
Speaker 2: residents to shovel their sidewalks.
Speaker 4: How do you do that?
Speaker 2: Well, we'll talk to cols member Walsh about that at
Speaker 2: ten oh seven here on the show on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: Later on, Jeff Carr locked on Red's a Jueno Suarez
Speaker 2: back in the Red's uniform middle lineup will pop there
Speaker 2: with his forty nine homers last year? Does it put
Speaker 2: the Reds over the top? So lots of questions to
Speaker 2: be answered this morning in full of the Tail. One
Speaker 2: of those questions to be answered MOMENTAI I just had
Speaker 2: Dale Dane as Dell's dad, but Dane donevan on from
Speaker 2: fifty five care He's the car Show and from Doance
Speaker 2: Donoman's Tirron Auto about all the dead batteries of which
Speaker 2: there's no shortage and if you have a hard time
Speaker 2: starting your car truck these days, the average life is
Speaker 2: two to four years on battery in Cincinnati. So if
Speaker 2: you fall, if you can't remember last time, probably need
Speaker 2: to have that checked, especially if it's a hard start.
Speaker 2: If you can't start at all, then you got real problems,
Speaker 2: right there, real problems. But we often we were at
Speaker 2: the battery more than this that we used to worry
Speaker 2: about from years and years and years ago, something you
Speaker 2: probably haven't heard in a good thirty plus years.
Speaker 4: Anytimes it gets as cold as this love playing that
Speaker 4: so cheesy, but it's still good.
Speaker 2: That is when we call the radio business kids a sounder,
Speaker 2: the Ohio sounder.
Speaker 4: Anytime you get.
Speaker 2: Below freezing, the weather's forecast would be sponsored and need
Speaker 2: to play that under the forecast because as you may recall,
Speaker 2: you go or Sohio pays the toll the toe rather
Speaker 2: the toe that that the toll the toe you go
Speaker 2: or Sohio pays the toll, And used to be a
Speaker 2: thing that your fuel line would freeze up. Fuel line
Speaker 2: freeze up. There's no joke back in the day, and
Speaker 2: you don't hear about that anymore, and you don't have
Speaker 2: to play that old school sounder as we call it.
Speaker 2: And that is simply because modern cars really don't have
Speaker 2: that problem anymore. A couple of reasons of why down
Speaker 2: you don't. You can start to worry about the battery.
Speaker 2: There's no easy way to run a dead battery. But
Speaker 2: as far as fuel line freeze up goes, it was
Speaker 2: actually a thing. A number of reasons is because you
Speaker 2: and you think about it, well, gasoline, doesn't you know
Speaker 2: I have gas gas in my garage for my you know, snowblower,
Speaker 2: my lawn mover. It might be that's not frozen because
Speaker 2: I think, you know, petroleum is good to like forty
Speaker 2: to fifty below something like that, which is certainly a
Speaker 2: lot colder than we're getting it.
Speaker 4: So we don't see that. But the problem, the problems
Speaker 4: back in the day is science. So back then ice
Speaker 4: crystals from water would get into the fuel supply and
Speaker 4: then in the fuel lines, and then you know, when
Speaker 4: you had less typically less gasoline in your tank, you'd
Speaker 4: have more percentage of water and the waters would freeze
Speaker 4: cause the problems, which is why today and it's still true,
Speaker 4: is to make sure that you keep that gas can
Speaker 4: topped off. Two things.
Speaker 2: It gives you weight in the back, which is crue crucial,
Speaker 2: but all the impurities and stuff could cause some issues
Speaker 2: with your fuel pump and everything else. So you want
Speaker 2: to make sure you have a full tank of gas
Speaker 2: when the weather's just cold. It says, oh, reasonably close
Speaker 2: more than half is what they say. So back then
Speaker 2: you get low and that stuff would freeze up. And
Speaker 2: we just don't see this more because refineries are better
Speaker 2: at producing fuel with fewer impurities. Again, the science got better.
Speaker 2: We also have more pipelines stuff, and that tends to
Speaker 2: add to it as well, believe it or not, So
Speaker 2: another you know, thumb up for pipelines and getting the
Speaker 2: fuel to where it needs to be the spital of
Speaker 2: the protests. You also had the fact that we we
Speaker 2: I don't know how long ago we started doing this.
Speaker 2: But you know, your reason the press gas goes up
Speaker 2: in the fall and in the spring is because they
Speaker 2: start to switch blends, so you have the summer and
Speaker 2: you have the winter, which is part of this too,
Speaker 2: but mainly it's because back in the day you had
Speaker 2: a carburetor in your car, and those who are more
Speaker 2: vulnerable to a fuelie freezing. So with fuel injection you
Speaker 2: get better pressure, better flow, and less ice as a
Speaker 2: result of that too, although if you have diesel, that's
Speaker 2: a whole different thing because there's paraffin wax in there
Speaker 2: that gels up and that causes a problem. But frozen
Speaker 2: gasoline is extremely rare, so that's why you don't hear
Speaker 2: that noise anymore. There you go and if you're young,
Speaker 2: going what the hell is that? And now you know
Speaker 2: something you don't have to. Yeah, we'll worry about a
Speaker 2: whole bunch of different stuff we didn't have to back
Speaker 2: in the day. And so it goes, and so it goes.
Speaker 2: But thanks to Dane for popping on this morning talks
Speaker 2: about this. One of the things that was speculated with
Speaker 2: the snow and the deep freeze it continues, is on
Speaker 2: this date in nineteen seventy seven, speaking going the way back,
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm doing like a I don't know,
Speaker 2: a retrospective this morning. You're in the first few minutes
Speaker 2: of the show. Generally I don't wax that poetic about history,
Speaker 2: but I do enjoy history.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 2: Living in the past is different than just kind of
Speaker 2: mention it it. But in nineteen seventy seven, we had
Speaker 2: the Ohio River freeze over and a number of people
Speaker 2: who may still be around walked on the Ohio River.
Speaker 2: I don't know when it froze before that, because we
Speaker 2: tend to look at it. But are we going to
Speaker 2: have a circumstance coming up in the next few days
Speaker 2: where you can actually walk out across the Ohio River
Speaker 2: And the answer is probably not for two reasons. The
Speaker 2: first reason is back in seventy seven, we had fifty
Speaker 2: eight consecutive hours I said fifty eight hours without the
Speaker 2: temperature getting above zero, not freezing zero. That means fifty
Speaker 2: eight straight hours of temperatures that were sub zero in
Speaker 2: a stretch where it was actually actual temperature was not
Speaker 2: the wind chill, not the fields like not the fields
Speaker 2: twenty five below zero, it's the actual temperature, and in
Speaker 2: places you had ice at least a foot thick. We
Speaker 2: had three consecutive weeks of snow on the ground. Last
Speaker 2: ward to twenty twenty six, we've had what a week
Speaker 2: of snow down and a week of freezing tempts with
Speaker 2: you know, we're starting a second week here, so we
Speaker 2: got a long long way to go, and it doesn't
Speaker 2: look like it because a week from now it's gonna
Speaker 2: looks like it's gonna be in the forties. So we
Speaker 2: will not have that deep, deep, deep freeze necessary to
Speaker 2: freeze the Ohio River. Now, maybe in the edges for sure,
Speaker 2: not out in the middle. And I think I said
Speaker 2: there are two things, so this is where we've never
Speaker 2: seen this again. It could be sub zero from month.
Speaker 2: We could get a forecast. Who knows February is still young, right,
Speaker 2: We're on the second day. And that fat bastard Phil
Speaker 2: I guess he saw a show we get six more
Speaker 2: weeks of winter. So if you care about that, more
Speaker 2: on that in just a second, and I look at it,
Speaker 2: go okay. The big reason is, can you imagine this
Speaker 2: day and age when we are worried so much about
Speaker 2: children and safety and all the hand ringing and thinking,
Speaker 2: these are more dangerous times than it was in the past.
Speaker 2: I would say, check yourself, because we could have a
Speaker 2: month of subzero temperatures and they said the Ohio River
Speaker 2: could freeze all the way down to the bed and
Speaker 2: there would still be don't go out on the eye,
Speaker 2: don't because it's dangerous out there, and you'd probably have
Speaker 2: armed guards. Ice would be protecting us from ice. They
Speaker 2: wouldn't be protecting us from from immigrants, legal immigrants. They'd
Speaker 2: be protecting the ice would be here to protect us
Speaker 2: from ice. They'd have soldiers lined up on the Ohio
Speaker 2: River at gunpoint to shoot anyone who dares walk out
Speaker 2: in the earth because it's two quote unquote too dangerous.
Speaker 2: Now back then, people and we have, by the way,
Speaker 2: a lot better technology now when it comes to, you know,
Speaker 2: protecting yourself from the cold, and back then it was like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, you were like a wool hat and
Speaker 2: some wool gloves. Today we've got cortex, We've got different
Speaker 2: layers and fabrics and heated jackets and everything else.
Speaker 4: We're good. We're good.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: You fall through the ice, unless you have one of
Speaker 2: those specialized suits on, you're not gonna make it. But
Speaker 2: my point is, we just we live in fear all
Speaker 2: the time. Now, there's no way in hell that they
Speaker 2: wouldn't anybody be allowed on the Ohio River. I don't
Speaker 2: care if it's cold for a half a year. It
Speaker 2: just we don't live in those times anymore. Now you
Speaker 2: may want to you know, who's gonna stop me? Yeah,
Speaker 2: you'd be surprised. Somebody would call the police and you'd
Speaker 2: be out there with a arresting you for a publican
Speaker 2: d terrorizing fish. I don't know what it would be
Speaker 2: walking on water, frozen water. Nonetheless, Groundhog Day is here.
Speaker 2: The Big Man saw his shadow or didn't say. I
Speaker 2: always forget how it works. It's just a stupid ritual.
Speaker 2: But you know it's winter when you see punk Sa
Speaker 2: Tawny Phil getting yanked out of a hole in the
Speaker 2: middle of winter in Pennsylvania, and we have six more
Speaker 2: weeks in winter. Now, if you don't like that message,
Speaker 2: the good news is we have a conflicting work. We're
Speaker 2: kind of like meteorologists. The other rat came out of
Speaker 2: the hole, and this would be a Buckeye Chuck, Buckeye
Speaker 2: Chuck Ingram do some of the AI Chuck Ingram's voices.
Speaker 2: The voice of Buckeye Chuck would be fantastic anyway. Buckeye
Speaker 2: Chuck says, no, we're gonna have an early spring. So
Speaker 2: whatever roadent you want to believe, or Marrimount or whatever
Speaker 2: they are, you want to believe, there's your answer.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: I bring this up because I don't I often I
Speaker 2: don't think about Groundhog Day. I knew I saw it
Speaker 2: on the counter, and okay, I don't really care. But
Speaker 2: I did have a weird dream on a Saturday. I
Speaker 2: must have been there. Maybe it was Friday. It doesn't
Speaker 2: matter weird until you ever have this dream. So I
Speaker 2: had this dream and I thought it was kind of
Speaker 2: like in Groundhog Day with Bill Murray, except stuff wasn't
Speaker 2: happening all the time. I think Bill Murray might have
Speaker 2: been in the dream. I'm not sure I should have
Speaker 2: woke up and wrote it down, but I vividly remember.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you've ever had this dream
Speaker 2: or not. Is the guy he's got the top had on.
Speaker 2: He pulls Phil out of the ground you know, he's
Speaker 2: got the you know, a little fat road, and he
Speaker 2: doesn't look too scared, too worried about it. He's a man.
Speaker 2: It's been a year ready. The only time they mess
Speaker 2: with me is I don't know why. It's got to
Speaker 2: be in February. But ground had no idea what's going on.
Speaker 2: And he pulled the groundhog out, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: it's like and I saw it in person, but then
Speaker 2: I saw somehow the replay on TV, and all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, the guy's holding Phil up over his head
Speaker 2: so you can see that he didn't see. He whispers,
Speaker 2: I didn't see my shadow. And as he's holding him up,
Speaker 2: the same guy who tried to kill Trump shoots the groundhog,
Speaker 2: and the groundhog literally takes the round center mass. And
Speaker 2: this guy is standing there and they're like chunks of
Speaker 2: groundhog and blood.
Speaker 4: I should laugh.
Speaker 2: Groundhog and blood all over his face, all over his
Speaker 2: top hat, it's all over the people in the crowd.
Speaker 2: People are ducking for cover. Police officers are running and
Speaker 2: rushing to tey. And it was actually in of all things,
Speaker 2: in Punk Satanni, Pennsylvania. It was from the third flour
Speaker 2: of the school Book Depository, which is not in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: It's in Texas. But it was a guy who tried
Speaker 2: to kill Trump, who shot the groundhog and just eviscerated
Speaker 2: this guy. I mean he was standing there holding them,
Speaker 2: not to get too graphic, standing there holding the groundhog,
Speaker 2: holding the groundhog head, and the rest of the body
Speaker 2: was completely gone. And he stood there for what looked
Speaker 2: like a good four or five seconds before he realized
Speaker 2: it was a shock of the whole thing crazy?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: What the hell was I eating before? Was I thinking?
Speaker 4: Before bed?
Speaker 2: I'm watching Punk Satani Phil get murdered on live television.
Speaker 2: I was there, and I think, as I now that
Speaker 2: I think about it again, I think I would had
Speaker 2: like somehow the power to stop it, kind of like this,
Speaker 2: And because I read a Stephen King book not long
Speaker 2: ago about eleven what eleven twenty two sixty three about
Speaker 2: the assassination John Kennedy go back in time and can
Speaker 2: stop that? And it was really interesting book. I thought
Speaker 2: it was kind of funny, the treatment of it. But
Speaker 2: I think all those things came together. I don't know
Speaker 2: why it was assassination. Why would I dream that Punk
Speaker 2: Satani Phil would be assassinated? Maybe it's indicative of the
Speaker 2: crazy times in which we live.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: But it was kind of weird. But at the same
Speaker 2: time it's a little bit a little bit funny. Well,
Speaker 2: wait to get to do now for the next Well,
Speaker 2: we know it's a different groundhog every year. Probably, I
Speaker 2: don't know what the shelf life grab it Rodan is
Speaker 2: in that regard, it's probably a different it's a stunt guy.
Speaker 2: They just keep rolling out of new because yeah, we're
Speaker 2: all racist. All those groundhogs look alike to us. I
Speaker 2: I know it could be a it's a different guy
Speaker 2: every year, pick a different fill out of the hole.
Speaker 2: But this guy, man, if he had nine lives, you
Speaker 2: just used all of them. Clark, it's a Scott Flune
Speaker 2: show on seven hundred WLW. If you have not seen
Speaker 2: the images yet from the what was it the sixty
Speaker 2: eighth Annual Grammy Awards last night, I don't watch these things.
Speaker 4: I don't, but it's.
Speaker 2: The same, and it is literally you could go back
Speaker 2: to when you were younger, when you would pay attention
Speaker 2: to the artists and who all they were and large
Speaker 2: the same things about you know, a number of things
Speaker 2: are going to happen. There's going to be the hot
Speaker 2: couple of the day. There's going to be a big
Speaker 2: surprise winner. There's going to be somebody who says something
Speaker 2: controversial or in protest, and they did that about Ice.
Speaker 2: You have someone who kind of like, oh wow, that's them,
Speaker 2: and that would have been the lighter jelly Roll if
Speaker 2: you haven't seen him, he lost a ton of weight.
Speaker 2: And of course the big thing was the fashion, And
Speaker 2: the one that stole the show with fashion was Chapelome
Speaker 2: who had a dress on and if you see the images,
Speaker 2: you how do you describe it? So she's got a
Speaker 2: low cut it's not even a low cut dress. The
Speaker 2: dress starts actually below where her breasts are and her
Speaker 2: the dress is being held up by nipple clamps, so
Speaker 2: the clamps go to her nipples which are covered up,
Speaker 2: and then the dress itself starts well below where the
Speaker 2: bottom where the underboob is, and those things are out
Speaker 2: there and they're getting all the air they can take.
Speaker 4: Let's put it that way. But man, that looked You're
Speaker 4: sitting there for how many hours.
Speaker 2: With with with battery jumpstart cables on your nipples holding
Speaker 2: your dress up? And what are we doing here? If
Speaker 2: you thought that Joe Burrow backlist suit was weird, that's
Speaker 2: really weird, right. I mean, I'm not offended by it.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you're not offended unless I don't know, uh,
Speaker 2: but I look at it. It just I just don't understand fashion.
Speaker 2: I just don't get it. Am I supposed to get this?
Speaker 2: Are you supposed to get to? You sit there going
Speaker 2: wow that you know the back list suit coat, the nipple, clemps,
Speaker 2: the jumpstart cables on the what are we doing here?
Speaker 2: Like you're making a statement. Yeah, I get people are
Speaker 2: talking about you too, but it's not like you go wow,
Speaker 2: I can't wait to wear that one too. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: going to a wedding next weekend. I think I'm gonna try.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring that one out for you from the gallery. Like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, I just don't know what to make it.
Speaker 2: Kendrick Klamar won five awards, surpassing jay Z to become
Speaker 2: the most awarded rapper in Grammy history. And I believe
Speaker 2: that I love jay Z. Kendrick Klamar has lapped even
Speaker 2: jay Z and Bad Bunny got the Album of the Year,
Speaker 2: So that's going to add more fuel to the super
Speaker 2: Bowl performance. I'm sure for people who despise him for
Speaker 2: his political beliefs as it were, But you know the
Speaker 2: idea of just, you know, simply taking a celebrities wait
Speaker 2: and go, yeah, I gotta believe the same thing. Well,
Speaker 2: I don't know how many people are doing that. Actually, no,
Speaker 2: not sure why we listen to celebrities for their opinion.
Speaker 2: But nonetheless, I will say that speaking of which tomorrow
Speaker 2: in the show. I think eleven o seven. I'm sure
Speaker 2: you heard the song the new song by Dick Lache
Speaker 2: is the Bengals song want he released a song. I'll
Speaker 2: play this a little bit later where he's calling for
Speaker 2: the Brown family to sell the team, presumably to him.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but he's gonna be on the show
Speaker 2: with me tomorrow at eleven o seven to explain that.
Speaker 2: I'll catch up with him in a little bit. All right,
Speaker 2: So coming up in minutes here on seven hundred, of
Speaker 2: course news update. We've got weather moving in one to
Speaker 2: three I think is what they're saying. Could be more, possibly,
Speaker 2: who knows. And of course the deep freeze continue, so
Speaker 2: that on the way traffic. And when I returned, Seth
Speaker 2: Walsh is here speaking of the snow coming in. He
Speaker 2: wants a I don't know, an edict that is going
Speaker 2: to force you, if you live in Cincinnati, shovel your
Speaker 2: damn sidewalk. I don't know what the punishment would be
Speaker 2: for failure to comply, what that would look like, and
Speaker 2: who this actually applies to. We'll get to that next
Speaker 2: right afternoon Scott's Loan Monday morning, back at it on
Speaker 2: the Home of the Reds with Gino back in a
Speaker 2: red uniform. Is this the lift we need to put
Speaker 2: us over the top to beat the Dodgers. We'll find out.
Speaker 2: Scott's Loan seven hundred WW sincenat it's a Scott's Loan
Speaker 2: show on seven hundred WW. Just shooting a little straight
Speaker 2: with you this morth soap. We have all the snow
Speaker 2: in the ground. We got like twelve bunch of snow,
Speaker 2: not much of it if all has melted yet tonight.
Speaker 2: Since last tomorrow, we're going to get to one to
Speaker 2: two to three, maybe more, depending where you are, depends.
Speaker 2: We shall see temperatures remain cold, so more snow on
Speaker 2: top of the snow. Snow's not going anywhere, and city
Speaker 2: cruise does a great job clearing snow on the streets.
Speaker 2: There's still snow on the sidewalks that kids need to
Speaker 2: walk or wait for buses. And so a new ordnance
Speaker 2: would force property on us to clear the snow. So
Speaker 2: what we're saying is that your neighbor, your neighbor, Betty
Speaker 2: Lorrain or Margaret, whatever name is, she's got to go
Speaker 2: eighty years old. The city's going to force her out
Speaker 2: there at gunpoint to go shovel over twelve inches of snow.
Speaker 2: Absolutely heartless, heartless, it's unreal. Council Member Seth Walsh is
Speaker 2: proposing this, Seth, are you going to tell me that
Speaker 2: you're going to force somebody's gramma to go out and
Speaker 2: shovel sidewalks in this weather?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 7: No, no, Scott, I appreciate you leaving off with the
Speaker 7: drama there. Let's back it up to what's actually going
Speaker 7: on here. So the city actually already has on its
Speaker 7: books ordinances around shoveling the sidewalks, and one of the
Speaker 7: problems that we've discovered last year with the snow emergency
Speaker 7: is that we don't actually have any enforceable mechanisms to
Speaker 7: this right. And so whether you're dealing with your sidewalks
Speaker 7: by your house, whether you're in a business district, whether
Speaker 7: you're downtown, if you run into sidewalks that are covered
Speaker 7: in snow a week after the snowstorm, there's no way
Speaker 7: fee to report it, nobody whose job it is to
Speaker 7: maintain it and check in on it, and there's nobody
Speaker 7: who's there to make sure that we're actually doing this job.
Speaker 7: So what this motion asks is what does the administration need,
Speaker 7: much like we asked last year around the snowpop what
Speaker 7: does it need to be able to take the next
Speaker 7: step and actually make sure we're enforcing this appropriately and
Speaker 7: helping keep the city going. This isn't about going after
Speaker 7: you know, residential neighbors. This is about making sure that
Speaker 7: we all as a community are coming together and actually
Speaker 7: being able to take care of our sidewalks too.
Speaker 2: Okay, so this this would apply then primarily to the
Speaker 2: residential I'm sorry, the business district areas or places of business.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it's all it's all Cincinnati, but I justicipate
Speaker 7: it's going to be primarily the business district areas.
Speaker 6: You know, we've seen a lot of complaints coming in.
Speaker 7: Downtown has had a number of complaints about you can
Speaker 7: tell who the properties owners are, who've cleared the sidewalks
Speaker 7: so you can.
Speaker 6: Tell who have it.
Speaker 7: We've also seen, you know, a lot of complaints around
Speaker 7: the city of Cincinnati, like owning property that we haven't
Speaker 7: cleared and then questionable property where you're like, is it
Speaker 7: the city, is it somebody else? And who needs to
Speaker 7: be responsible for it? One for example, of the bridge
Speaker 7: going from Clifton to Northside. What we need to be
Speaker 7: able to do is have a system in place to
Speaker 7: be able to get piece concerns and then make sure
Speaker 7: that we get them cleared. Whether that's there's some city mechanism,
Speaker 7: whether that's to hire in private contractors, whatever it is,
Speaker 7: that's a pretty big important Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had our buddy on from ODOT last week
Speaker 2: and he said that, you know, sometimes you see a
Speaker 2: road plowed and then it'll not be plowed and then
Speaker 2: it'll be plowed again. Is like that has to do
Speaker 2: with jurisdiction, right, Like od Doubts in chart generally have highways,
Speaker 2: but then you have the county, then you have local
Speaker 2: municipalities cities like Cincinnati, villages, et cetera. And sometimes between
Speaker 2: all those enterprises, we're not quite sure who is responsible
Speaker 2: for that stretch. And normally, if it's an insure or
Speaker 2: typically we get injured to a snow, it is not
Speaker 2: a big deal. But when you're talking feet, different story.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Absolutely, And what we currently do not have is
Speaker 6: a mechanism scout.
Speaker 7: If you want to call and tell us that there's
Speaker 7: a sidewalk they need to get shoveled after a week,
Speaker 7: there's no mechanisms for that. And that's you know, I'll
Speaker 7: stop sort of thing of the problem because I don't
Speaker 7: think it's a problem on the scale of snow powt
Speaker 7: issue was last year, but it is the next step
Speaker 7: in this how do we appropriately handle snow as we're
Speaker 7: looking at you know, I'm seeing three to five inches tomorrow,
Speaker 7: that's a big deal. And you know, if you're if
Speaker 7: you're trying to walk to a business, if you're trying
Speaker 7: to walk to your car, if you're trying to get
Speaker 7: to your you know, take your dog for a walk,
Speaker 7: that's that is a big deal to be kind.
Speaker 6: Of going through these various grades and it becomes pretty
Speaker 6: unsafe for people.
Speaker 7: And so if we can't even get the reporting on it,
Speaker 7: how do we how do we take that next step
Speaker 7: actually solve this problem?
Speaker 4: Okay, so where do you extend this that stuffs?
Speaker 2: I mean, you mentioned real estate owners is the target,
Speaker 2: but are we talking about absentee landlords just commercial property only?
Speaker 2: What about like something like an apartment complex. Can you
Speaker 2: define who isn't who's doing their job?
Speaker 7: I mean, I think you can define it as pretty
Speaker 7: much a sidewalk that and this wouldn't yes anywhere that
Speaker 7: has a sidewalk that is not being shoveled, you know,
Speaker 7: several days to the week after the snowfall event. Whether
Speaker 7: that is a private property owner, whether that's the City
Speaker 7: of Cincinnati, whether that's Oda, we need to be having
Speaker 7: these standards to make sure gets taken care of. I
Speaker 7: think there's a lot of people that are rightfully frustrated
Speaker 7: that city society hasn't shoveled our own sidewalks, and right
Speaker 7: now we haven't even we don't even allow you to
Speaker 7: be able to tell us that that's the problems. So
Speaker 7: let's get that salved. Like, let's hold everybody to the
Speaker 7: same standard, because again, it's a safety issue, you know,
Speaker 7: it's it's about people trying to have people walk more,
Speaker 7: have more pedestrian safety. You got to have the sidewalks.
Speaker 7: You see people walking in the streets because they can't
Speaker 7: access the sidewalks. That becomes dangerous for everybody, from the
Speaker 7: people who are walking to the motorists. It's just not
Speaker 7: a safe environment.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mentioned kind of tongue in cheeks sath Wall
Speaker 2: jokingly about senior sitting You know, eighty year old Betty,
Speaker 2: you're next door neighbor. She's not going out and shovel
Speaker 2: But if you can't physically shovel, and how do you
Speaker 2: differentiate when that in a proper dinner. Who's neglecting their responsibility?
Speaker 2: How do you verify this?
Speaker 7: Well, that's part of what we're asking in the emotion
Speaker 7: here is what does the city administration need to be
Speaker 7: able to run an effective program? And much like if
Speaker 7: your sidewalk gets destroyed by tree roots and is lifting up,
Speaker 7: you know, a couple of inches and you have to
Speaker 7: have it taken out, there are systems in place where
Speaker 7: you can get a replaced yourself, where the city brings
Speaker 7: in contractors to be to take care of and then
Speaker 7: there are ways to get creative about it to solve
Speaker 7: it where you're not putting the burden on your eighty
Speaker 7: five year old neighbor, but we are solving the problem
Speaker 7: which off the sidewalks and make these passable straight you know,
Speaker 7: say sidewalks.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, in the case of the eight year old neighbor,
Speaker 2: so who paid? Does a taxpayer pay for that? Or
Speaker 2: do you have to build? Do you build?
Speaker 4: The property owner?
Speaker 7: Well, I think that's something that the administration needs to
Speaker 7: come back to tell us, you know, what the costs
Speaker 7: would be on that. Uh, you know if if it's
Speaker 7: in the obscene costs, I'm sure there's a way we
Speaker 7: can work that out. And at the same time you
Speaker 7: have contractors that are out there being able to do
Speaker 7: this because we have to take care of the city's property.
Speaker 7: At the same time, you know we can figure that
Speaker 7: out as well. Right now, we're at the information gathering stage.
Speaker 7: Last year we were so worried about the roads high
Speaker 7: gaining cloud. This year we have had such a great
Speaker 7: success as the roads getting cloud the system worked. Now
Speaker 7: you have the next problem, which you want people to
Speaker 7: be able to walk in the sidewalks start being there.
Speaker 6: How do we answer it? How do we address that? Right?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: And I'll pivot for just a second off this hobby.
Speaker 2: You mentioned the success that the crews had. I've saw
Speaker 2: nothing but glowering reviews for the snow removal, but also
Speaker 2: that plow tracking app as well. It was down for
Speaker 2: a while. Worn't quite sure with the mechanics. There's always
Speaker 2: growing pains. I think we talked about this before seth Walsh.
Speaker 2: But you know, from what I could tell and looking
Speaker 2: at it during the snow event and probably ones happening tomorrow,
Speaker 2: everything looks really good. I mean, you guys really turned
Speaker 2: the corner on the snow removal thing largely because of
Speaker 2: your efforts.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean this is something that I think a
Speaker 7: lot of people deserve credit and kudos for. You know,
Speaker 7: last year we failed as leaders in terms of making
Speaker 7: sure that we were set up for the team to
Speaker 7: be able to go out and succeed at it.
Speaker 6: We had six hundred streets, we just didn't know that
Speaker 6: we didn't plow.
Speaker 7: That's not acceptable and we said that, and we said
Speaker 7: the last year working to make sure that we have
Speaker 7: the six hundred streets identified, that we had the systems
Speaker 7: in place to succeed that we knew days in advance
Speaker 7: we could prepare for and take care of it so
Speaker 7: that when we sent our workers out there, we worked
Speaker 7: twelve hour shifts. You know, they are doing the Lord's
Speaker 7: work in this and they needed to make sure they're supported,
Speaker 7: and we made sure they're actually supported this time. You
Speaker 7: see how remarkable the team is once they actually have
Speaker 7: the appropriate support from the snow plod tracker working to.
Speaker 6: Be able to see what streets were being taken care of,
Speaker 6: to see that we had it.
Speaker 7: Two days in advance, we were salting and preparing for
Speaker 7: the storms and then you know, literally getting these streets
Speaker 7: covered and taking care of Within like thirty six hours,
Speaker 7: we had ninety five percent of the streets passable.
Speaker 6: I mean, it was really incredible. But it took us
Speaker 6: being honest with.
Speaker 7: Ourselves, which I think is one of the hardest things
Speaker 7: in government to submit that, hey, we came up short.
Speaker 2: We have to do better, right, right, and often there
Speaker 2: are enough people taking the hit for that, going, hey,
Speaker 2: it's on my watch, it's going to happen. He's council
Speaker 2: Member Seth Walsh proposing a new ordin Cincinnati that's going
Speaker 2: to enforce with a little bit more teeth that you
Speaker 2: have to remove the snow from your sidewalks. That doesn't
Speaker 2: apply to a driveway though, right if you want to
Speaker 2: not shovel your own driveway, it's up to you, although
Speaker 2: I guess the sidewalk usually does cross a driveway. And
Speaker 2: you know, I'm backing up on this thing too, is
Speaker 2: how long before how long do you give someone to
Speaker 2: shovel the snow? Is it within twenty four hours forty
Speaker 2: eight a week? How long to shovel the snow that fill?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 7: So on the first point, no, this doesn't impact driveways
Speaker 7: you know, the driveways your private property.
Speaker 6: The sidewalks are of the public property.
Speaker 8: Here.
Speaker 7: The second part of this is, in my opinion, you know,
Speaker 7: if we're trying to get everyone's streets cleared within forty
Speaker 7: eight hours, after that forty eight hour mark, is that
Speaker 7: we should expect the sidewalks are getting appropriately cleared as well.
Speaker 7: You know, we had some issues last last week where
Speaker 7: people cleared their sidewalks and then the snowplow came through
Speaker 7: and a bunch of snowgup dumped back on the sidewalk.
Speaker 7: That doesn't very feel very fair. That feels a little
Speaker 7: punitive for those who are trying to do the right thing.
Speaker 7: It's a situation where once a snow emergency has stopped,
Speaker 7: we've gotten the streets taken care of. Now we have
Speaker 7: to make sure the sidewalks become passable.
Speaker 6: You know, it's a priority order to this.
Speaker 7: So we're not saying, hey, the snowstorm is coming down
Speaker 7: right now, be out there and make sure there's not
Speaker 7: a ounce of snow out there. We're saying, you know,
Speaker 7: we're all team. You know, especially now you look we're
Speaker 7: a week out on the storm. We need to make
Speaker 7: sure the sidewalks are passable.
Speaker 2: Okay, Seth Walsh on that, And I've brought up the
Speaker 2: older neighbors at not be able to even plow their
Speaker 2: own driveway. They may pay for the drive to be plowed,
Speaker 2: to be a little extra, a little bit more money
Speaker 2: on them to get the sidewalks done as part of that.
Speaker 2: Businesses may be a little bit different in that regard
Speaker 2: to but you know, all it would take is someone
Speaker 2: to go, hey, they're they're going after this. You know
Speaker 2: this elderly widow or widow were they don't have the money,
Speaker 2: they're fixed income, they can't go out there and shovel
Speaker 2: their own thing. And now you're going to crack down.
Speaker 2: And that feels like it's like an IT team thing
Speaker 2: waiting to happen. But the same thing is, okay, my
Speaker 2: next door neighbor. Let's say, you know, it's an individual
Speaker 2: who works two or three jobs, doesn't have time to
Speaker 2: shovel their own driveway, let alone the snowplow or hiring
Speaker 2: someone to do that because they're trying to keep their
Speaker 2: head above water. In that regard, would the enforcement be
Speaker 2: punitive as you mentioned, because you look at them go, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: it's an older person. They can't afford it. They cannot
Speaker 2: do themselves. But you've got a younger next door neighbor,
Speaker 2: shouldn't they be out there doing it? Well, if you're
Speaker 2: working all the time, it's awfully tough to do that.
Speaker 2: How do you respond.
Speaker 7: We have a number of ordinances that are on the
Speaker 7: books currently that you may like, are targeting are more
Speaker 7: vulnerable citizens, and the way that we handle it as
Speaker 7: a city is that we provide funds and resources to
Speaker 7: make sure that they're being taken care of as well.
Speaker 7: None of these are designed in a way in which
Speaker 7: we are trying to punish, you know, our elderly citizens
Speaker 7: or those who are working multiple jobs. We're just trying
Speaker 7: to make sure the sidewalks to become passable. And again,
Speaker 7: you know this isn't an ordnance. There are already ordinances
Speaker 7: on the books that you know have this enforcement mechanism.
Speaker 7: There's no way to report it right now. And I
Speaker 7: think where the majority of these issues are happening. Frankly,
Speaker 7: our city is society properties, and I think we have
Speaker 7: to do better as a city. That's something in a
Speaker 7: mantra keep saying out there. But if we don't even
Speaker 7: allow your op change to tell us that these are problems.
Speaker 7: We can't solve the problems.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you feel like set there should be And
Speaker 2: again this is just the very primitive form of stage
Speaker 2: is it's nothing even close to becoming legislation at this point.
Speaker 2: It's like, hey, how do we get the and it's
Speaker 2: a safety is how do we get the snow off
Speaker 2: the sidewalks because the reality is you've got kids trying
Speaker 2: to go to school or walk to the bus stop,
Speaker 2: or people waiting for metro, whatever it might be, and
Speaker 2: now they've got to stand in the road and that's
Speaker 2: just horribly unsafe.
Speaker 4: That's the whole point of this.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 7: You know, I've seen way too many people in the
Speaker 7: last weeks who put them pass through the sidewalks that
Speaker 7: they're just walking down the middle of the street. And
Speaker 7: it's arguably safer for them because they because of the
Speaker 7: slippage and the ice that has accumulated, but it's not
Speaker 7: safer because you have these vehicles that are coming along.
Speaker 6: It's not safer for them, it's not safer for the vehicles.
Speaker 6: And so again, as a community, we have to step
Speaker 6: up and do better. And so how do we do that?
Speaker 7: Again, we're not trying to be piuted up here. We're
Speaker 7: just trying to figure out ways and we can solve problems.
Speaker 6: That have arisen. And frankly, of all the problems that.
Speaker 7: We had last year, for this to be the next
Speaker 7: issue to tackle, I think it's a good side where
Speaker 7: the city's setting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got the roads tackled. Now it's the sidewalks
Speaker 2: which is challenging in different ways. I suppose, sess and
Speaker 2: we'll see what comes of this whole thing. I would
Speaker 2: also think too that this is such an unusually heavy
Speaker 2: snowfall winter for us. We normally don't get this much
Speaker 2: so in a short period of time, you know, and
Speaker 2: maybe a storm where we get four inches or something
Speaker 2: like that, and we treat it like it's a big deal.
Speaker 2: You know, a foot of snow and plus what we're
Speaker 2: getting tomorrow on sidewalks that's impassable.
Speaker 4: You know, an inch or two you probably can walk
Speaker 4: over that.
Speaker 2: And so is this kind of preparing for the quote
Speaker 2: unquote hundred year flood as opposed to what we normally say.
Speaker 7: You know, last year, I got a lot of criticism
Speaker 7: when I was when I was saying that we needed
Speaker 7: to do better on the snowplows because everyone said it
Speaker 7: was a once in a twenty year storm, and barely
Speaker 7: twelve months later that once in a twenty year storm
Speaker 7: hit again. Right, You know, the reality is we do
Speaker 7: live in a city where snowfall events happen, and we
Speaker 7: don't know when the next big snowstorm is. We didn't
Speaker 7: think two weeks together, we're going to have two big
Speaker 7: storms within a two week period, and yet that's what
Speaker 7: we're staring.
Speaker 6: Down the gun on.
Speaker 7: So, yes, this is an important issue to make sure
Speaker 7: that we continue to just improve on. And I hope
Speaker 7: that we don't have to experience it for the next
Speaker 7: hundred years. But if I've learned anything about my predictions,
Speaker 7: if you will, we'll try having again in the next
Speaker 7: three weeks. And so let's just be ready and let's
Speaker 7: start having these conversations and figure.
Speaker 6: Out again as a community, how do we do better
Speaker 6: and how do.
Speaker 7: We work with each other make sure we're supporting the
Speaker 7: administration for what they need and the resources they need
Speaker 7: to be successful.
Speaker 2: Well, the good news is much like diarrhea, it doesn't
Speaker 2: hang on too much longer.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 2: When I got a few weeks of this nonsense, Seth
Speaker 2: Walsh and then we'll be we'll be headed to spring
Speaker 2: I think with Red's baseball au Anyu Suarez. Now we're
Speaker 2: in a red uniform, so we got hope down at
Speaker 2: Great American Ballpark for our red legs. But of course
Speaker 2: with warmer temperature and all these cold and freezing and
Speaker 2: the snows, the the you know, the warming and freezing cycle,
Speaker 2: we got to worry about potholes.
Speaker 4: Now, are we here?
Speaker 2: I think this is going to focus from clearing sidewalks
Speaker 2: to pothole damage in a few short weeks, and are
Speaker 2: we prepared to deal with the probably immeasurable amount of
Speaker 2: potholes Last year it was a high pothole season. This
Speaker 2: year I would suspect the same. Are we better in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six than we were in twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: on us?
Speaker 7: You know, potholes didn't get as much attention last year
Speaker 7: in the media as the snowstorm did, but it did
Speaker 7: get a lot of attention on the inside of city hall.
Speaker 7: Council Member Nolan obviously did a you know, quick blitz.
Speaker 6: To try to come up some solutions for the pothole how.
Speaker 7: We can do better at poddles, and then until I
Speaker 7: believe today is actually going to be approving.
Speaker 6: Funding to buy new equipment from pothole.
Speaker 7: Feelings, So hopefully you're going to see it improvement or
Speaker 7: remarkable improvement. Again, it's under the same new director who's
Speaker 7: solved our soap op situation, Mark Briley, So I feel optimistic,
Speaker 7: but let's have that conversation.
Speaker 6: Of four weeks when we get to see it in action, right.
Speaker 2: Right, and hopefully we are better than we have been
Speaker 2: in the past when it comes to poddles. Right now,
Speaker 2: it's snow on sidewalks. What's the timeline for this proposal?
Speaker 7: So we we're filing it today, which means we will
Speaker 7: officially vote on it next week and hopefully we'll see.
Speaker 6: Resolves quickly from there. Yeah, all right, we think this
Speaker 6: is a priority for the city.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get what is you're trying to do because
Speaker 2: you can't have people, especially kids, walking in the street
Speaker 2: because the sidewalks aren't clear for sure. So anyway, Hey, Seth,
Speaker 2: appreciate you jup and I always love having you on
Speaker 2: the program. Thanks again, buddy, have a good day.
Speaker 3: Thanks Scott.
Speaker 2: All right, anytime there you go, Seth Walsh on the
Speaker 2: Scott Sloan Show. There may be some questions. How are
Speaker 2: you enforced this, namely? But I get the concept because
Speaker 2: you know, when sicy and cold out, people walk in
Speaker 2: this because at least the road is cleared, and in
Speaker 2: the past you couldn't walk anywhere because the roads weren't cleared.
Speaker 2: So I guess we're making progress. Julie hattersh hears. Next,
Speaker 2: it's Mental Health Monday on the Scott Sloan Show on
Speaker 2: seven hundred WLW. Why do people hang onto relationships much
Speaker 2: longer than the life of the relationship be held onto,
Speaker 2: namely unfulfilling relationships? Why do we continue to do that
Speaker 2: when it's not getting us anywhere and making us worse.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that coming up after news on seven
Speaker 2: hundred WLW.
Speaker 8: Everyone needs help every now and then, and she's here
Speaker 8: to help us get our heads right.
Speaker 4: This is Mental Health Monday with mental health expert Julie Hattershot.
Speaker 4: I need help all the time. I'm not about you.
Speaker 4: It's sloanyersefd WW, specially at mondays right.
Speaker 2: You need more help than ever before. Why do people
Speaker 2: stay in unfulfilling relationships over and over? Maybe it's a friend,
Speaker 2: maybe it's you, Maybe it's a coworker relative, and it's
Speaker 2: like NonStop complaining about this horrible relationship. Then get out
Speaker 2: of it. Seems like it's easier said than done on that, Julie,
Speaker 2: how to share our license mental health therapists practicing out
Speaker 2: of Clifton at beconnected dot care. Julie, how are you?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 4: Oh, we've got bad cell connection here? What's up?
Speaker 6: Hello?
Speaker 8: Hello?
Speaker 4: Check one too?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 4: Is your phone is frozen? I think I think the
Speaker 4: phone pipes are frozen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got you, Okay, sorry about that.
Speaker 9: Had my earbuds in and apparently they did not work.
Speaker 4: Nope, nothing's working today. It's too damn cold.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: But you'll stay in that unfulfilling relationship though, that for sure.
Speaker 2: Will beat the cold well, and I'll beat the heat.
Speaker 2: It seems counter to to human nature. Is like, you know,
Speaker 2: people generally don't stay in relations you're not happy with.
Speaker 2: But you probably hear people going, oh, you know, it's
Speaker 2: not that bad and I've invested so much time and
Speaker 2: what else am I supposed to do? And maybe it'll
Speaker 2: get better And it never does, it gets worse, doesn't it.
Speaker 9: Well it can, that's for sure. And it's really interesting
Speaker 9: because our like our primary romantic love relationship is the
Speaker 9: one thing in our society that we really give people
Speaker 9: a hard time about leaving. You know, you think about it.
Speaker 9: You change jobs sometimes, you change in higher career fields.
Speaker 1: You go from being one thing to another.
Speaker 9: Thing completely, You move houses, you move states, friendships come
Speaker 9: and go. But this is the one that's supposed to stick.
Speaker 9: This is the one that you're supposed to make in
Speaker 9: maybe your twenties or your thirties, and it's supposed to
Speaker 9: last you for the rest of your life, which can
Speaker 9: be a very long time these days.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, and so and so.
Speaker 9: People do tend to stay in unsatisfying relationships for some
Speaker 9: reasons that I guess sound good on paper, but when
Speaker 9: you really kind of take them apart, they don't make
Speaker 9: a whole lot of sense.
Speaker 4: All right, let's jump into that.
Speaker 2: What are the psychological reasons that you would stay in
Speaker 2: a relationship, whether it's intimate or personal friendship, whatever may be,
Speaker 2: where it's not fulfilling.
Speaker 9: Well, you know, so one of them is people say, well,
Speaker 9: it's not.
Speaker 1: That bad or it's not bad enough to leave.
Speaker 9: There's a really great book out there called Too Good
Speaker 9: to Leave, Too Bad to Stay That talks about this
Speaker 9: kind of stable ambiguity of it's not good, but it's
Speaker 9: not so bad that.
Speaker 1: I am ready to leave it.
Speaker 9: And so when my clients say things like that to me,
Speaker 9: one of the things that I will ask and is, okay, well,
Speaker 9: what would bad enough look like? And I think it
Speaker 9: can be really helpful for people to think about, Okay,
Speaker 9: if it's not bad enough to leave, now, what would
Speaker 9: that look like? What would have to happen or have
Speaker 9: to not be there in order for.
Speaker 1: It to be bad enough to leave?
Speaker 9: And I think another thing to keep in mind is
Speaker 9: that the presence of a positive is much better.
Speaker 1: Than the absence of a negative.
Speaker 9: So not bad is not the same as good, it's
Speaker 9: not terrible is not the same as I'm really happy
Speaker 9: in this relationship. And we ideally want to be optimizing
Speaker 9: for the presence of positive not just the absence of negatives. So,
Speaker 9: you know, taking a really hard look at what would
Speaker 9: bad enough be what would have to happen in order
Speaker 9: for this to be bad enough for you to leave?
Speaker 9: Or or conversely, what would have to happen in order
Speaker 9: for this to be good enough that you're happy you stayed,
Speaker 9: and figure out what.
Speaker 2: Needs to change, So it's at a version of loss.
Speaker 2: I mean that is, you know, losses aren't more painful
Speaker 2: than in some cases more painful than pleasure, right, so
Speaker 2: you try to avoid that at all costs. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean that makes sense. But you know you know, well,
Speaker 2: you know it can't be bad, and you said not
Speaker 2: bad enough. But what happens is if you look back
Speaker 2: on let's say, in your relationship for a while, go
Speaker 2: back a year, go back two or three years, is
Speaker 2: it worse now? That wasn't absolutely because it's not an extreme,
Speaker 2: it's gradually getting worse, and you just keep making excuses
Speaker 2: and that just allows probably that other person to take
Speaker 2: the more liberties that they didn't in the past because
Speaker 2: you're allowing it.
Speaker 9: Well, if it's not bad enough yet and you're not
Speaker 9: both of you doing things.
Speaker 1: To work to make it better, then it's not going
Speaker 1: to just get better.
Speaker 9: Things typically in relationships don't just get better. We do
Speaker 9: things to help them become better. And so you stay
Speaker 9: in this this middle ground of like not great but
Speaker 9: not bad for long enough, and now you've sunk a
Speaker 9: lot of years into it, which is another reason that
Speaker 9: people stay is because they feel like they've sunk so
Speaker 9: much effort and time, so much of their life, maybe
Speaker 9: so much money, so much of their emotional labor, so
Speaker 9: much of their adult life has been as part of
Speaker 9: this dynamic, even though it hasn't been good, and even
Speaker 9: though it isn't good, and even though you don't think
Speaker 9: it's going to get better. It's that sunk cost fallacy
Speaker 9: of I put so much into it, I can't leave now,
Speaker 9: versus look at all I've put into it and how
Speaker 9: little I've gotten out of it, it probably is time
Speaker 9: for me to leave. So that's a mindset shift that
Speaker 9: people can make when you've overly invested and you're not
Speaker 9: getting returned.
Speaker 4: Kind of keeps you stuck on. Well, was this for nothing?
Speaker 2: I've invested so much already and it's some cost fallicy,
Speaker 2: as you said, But that's nothing new. That's true in
Speaker 2: a lot of things business and a bunch of other
Speaker 2: factors as well.
Speaker 9: Sure, sure, yeah, And the question is what this all
Speaker 9: for nothing? And I think that goes back to this
Speaker 9: idea that our primary relationships are the ones that were
Speaker 9: not allowed to leave, Because I mean, if you think
Speaker 9: about it, and I don't know about you, but I
Speaker 9: switched career fields in the middle of my life in
Speaker 9: my thirties, I went from one to the other, and
Speaker 9: I got a lot of really good stuff out of
Speaker 9: my first career, And now I'm in my second career
Speaker 9: and I'm getting a lot of really good stuff out
Speaker 9: of that. Never once did I say, with all of
Speaker 9: that stuff I did when I was a volunteer manager
Speaker 9: and fundraiser, was all of that for nothing? No. I
Speaker 9: took a look at it and said, I did that.
Speaker 1: It was great. I don't want to do it anymore.
Speaker 1: I want to do this thing now.
Speaker 9: So when we start to think about it in terms
Speaker 9: of not was that all for nothing? But did I
Speaker 9: get everything out of that that I could have gotten?
Speaker 1: Did I max that out? Is this now time to change?
Speaker 9: That mindset shift can make a big difference too in
Speaker 9: how we think about leaving a relationship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, right, And that one factor's an a number
Speaker 2: of things. I look at Okay, well I invested too much,
Speaker 2: But at some point you look at what you invested,
Speaker 2: But what are you going to get in the future.
Speaker 2: I think you almost got to like say, okay, yesterday,
Speaker 2: that matters tomorrow, that matters happy or not?
Speaker 4: Is that the best way to test that?
Speaker 9: I think that's a really great way to test it. Yeah,
Speaker 9: because sometimes the relationships that serve us well in one
Speaker 9: phase of our life don't serve us well in another
Speaker 9: phase of our life. I work with a lot of
Speaker 9: couples who would say, when they're being very honest, that
Speaker 9: they're really good co parents and they're really good at
Speaker 9: raising kids and managing a life together.
Speaker 3: But once the kids leave.
Speaker 9: The house and they're on their own, they realize they're
Speaker 9: not great partners. They don't they're not really great mates
Speaker 9: for each other.
Speaker 3: But for that period of.
Speaker 9: Time in their life that they were building careers and
Speaker 9: building families.
Speaker 1: They worked really well together.
Speaker 9: So looking forward into the future, they they're.
Speaker 1: Asking themselves, is this who I.
Speaker 9: Want to spend the next thirty, the last thirty or forty.
Speaker 1: Years of my life with?
Speaker 9: And the answer sometimes is yes and sometimes is no.
Speaker 9: But to your point, when you look forward into the future,
Speaker 9: is what you've gotten going to give you enough of
Speaker 9: what you want going forward? Is this relationship going to
Speaker 9: provide that for you at this point in time in
Speaker 9: your life? And if the answer is no, then it
Speaker 9: might be time to look at.
Speaker 1: Nothing to change.
Speaker 2: Gotcha, She's Julie hatters. She here a licensed mental health expert.
Speaker 2: It is mental health money in the Scotslon show. Why
Speaker 2: do people stay in unfulfilling relationships? And maybe it's you,
Speaker 2: maybe it's someone you know. We always know someone who's
Speaker 2: done that or is going through that, or is about
Speaker 2: to go through that. And so there's a number of
Speaker 2: psychological reasons why you stay in something that's no longer
Speaker 2: working for you, whether it's a romantic relationship, business interest, hell, friendship,
Speaker 2: something on those lines. First and foremostly mentioned things aren't
Speaker 2: bad enough. So in a version of the loss, you
Speaker 2: keep telling yourself, oh, it's not bad yet. In the
Speaker 2: sun costs fallacy, which actually goes hand in hand in
Speaker 2: that I've I've arrested so much already that why would
Speaker 2: I give that up? Because I have all of these
Speaker 2: things together, which, by the way, you make a great
Speaker 2: case for having separate bank accounts and financial things when
Speaker 2: you get in a relationship, right, because that's a big excuse.
Speaker 2: What a pay if we split up. I got we
Speaker 2: got a house, we got all these investments, we got
Speaker 2: this Like, it's I don't have time for that kind
Speaker 2: of payperwork, separate bank accounts, that's what you're going with Julie.
Speaker 9: Separate bank councer are often a really good idea exactly.
Speaker 9: And then there's also this idea that we'll regret our
Speaker 9: decision later, and that's sort of you know better the
Speaker 9: devil you know than the devil you don't, concept of.
Speaker 1: I know what I've got here.
Speaker 9: I can manage it. It's not great, it's not meeting
Speaker 9: my needs or making me happy, but I can manage it.
Speaker 9: What's it going to be like on the other side,
Speaker 9: What's it going to be like to be single? What's
Speaker 9: it going to be like to only see my kids
Speaker 9: part of the time. What's it going to be like
Speaker 9: to be living in a different place. We're going to
Speaker 9: have to untangle family relationships, we may have to untangle friendships.
Speaker 9: What's it going to be like if I lose or
Speaker 9: miss out on some of that? And we tend to
Speaker 9: only focus on the potential negatives of those situations, not
Speaker 9: the potential positives.
Speaker 1: So we tend to focus on what, to your point earlier.
Speaker 9: What we're going to lose, not what we might gain,
Speaker 9: what delight might be around the corner, but what we're
Speaker 9: going to miss out on miss part of lose regret
Speaker 9: and we focus on the negative, and that helps keep
Speaker 9: us stuck someplace. It isn't really great for us, but
Speaker 9: isn't as bad as we're projecting that.
Speaker 4: Future to be interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that makes sense to me that you're gonna, well,
Speaker 2: you know what, I careful, what you wish for, you
Speaker 2: might just get it. And now the grass is green,
Speaker 2: the grass isn't greener. What's what's a worse metaphor than
Speaker 2: the grass is greener? Because people often know those like, well,
Speaker 2: you know, the grass is always greener. I don't know
Speaker 2: it might be, and the minute it doesn't work out,
Speaker 2: you have a regret. How do you deal with that?
Speaker 2: If you're a person who says, you know, I okay
Speaker 2: with the comfortable right now. It's not perfect, but my god,
Speaker 2: it's better than what's out there right now. It almost
Speaker 2: has to be.
Speaker 4: Are you just kidding yourself?
Speaker 1: Well you might be.
Speaker 9: I mean it's you know, it's never easy to find
Speaker 9: some people in your life, friends or partners that you
Speaker 9: want to spend a lot of time with, and being
Speaker 9: single is differently difficult than being in an unhappy relationship.
Speaker 9: I wouldn't say it's easier or harder having done both,
Speaker 9: I would say it's differently difficult. But when you project
Speaker 9: the negative about the future and can't see the potential positive,
Speaker 9: and when you focus on it's okay now, but it's
Speaker 9: not great and nothing that I do is making a difference,
Speaker 9: then you really do have to do kind of a
Speaker 9: cost benefit analysis and say it's what I'm getting where
Speaker 9: I am now good enough to make it worth me
Speaker 9: not getting what I want and need that I'm missing
Speaker 9: out on, and to make it worth with me having
Speaker 9: to put up with what I have to put up
Speaker 9: with to stay here, and really doing an honest cost
Speaker 9: benefit analysis with yourself. And the answer might be yes.
Speaker 9: The answer might be yeah, this is good enough for now,
Speaker 9: I'll figure it out later. The answer might be Nope,
Speaker 9: I'm really not happy now, and I'd rather take my
Speaker 9: chances with something unknown than stay with this unhappy known
Speaker 9: quantity that I've got in my relationship.
Speaker 4: All right, Any other reasons that people would stand these relationships.
Speaker 1: Well, there are a lots.
Speaker 9: So there's societal pressure, as we've talked about, there's family pressure.
Speaker 1: I've worked with a couple of couples over.
Speaker 9: The years where nobody in their family, either of their
Speaker 9: families was ever divorced, like nobody was ever divorced, and
Speaker 9: they were looking at being the first people in their
Speaker 9: whole families cousins, siblings.
Speaker 1: Who were divorced, and that was a really big.
Speaker 9: Deal religious pressure. I mean, there are some faiths that
Speaker 9: still take a really hard look at divorce as being
Speaker 9: a bad thing. People often stay for the kids, and
Speaker 9: there are mixed reasons for that, or mixed success with that.
Speaker 9: I guess I would say sometimes that is the best
Speaker 9: thing to do for the children, if the divorce would
Speaker 9: be really difficult and the kids might be put in
Speaker 9: the middle. But sometimes kids actually do better when parents
Speaker 9: are happier and healthier and working better together than they
Speaker 9: were when they were married. Kids actually can do better
Speaker 9: in those situations. So there are many reasons why people
Speaker 9: would stay. I think we tend to think about staying
Speaker 9: for the kids, or staying because of faith, or staying
Speaker 9: for money, But we don't necessarily think about the head
Speaker 9: games we play with ourselves health to make staying makes sense.
Speaker 1: And so that's why I wanted to talk about this today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the whole religious thing, I mean, that's
Speaker 2: up to you. If you hold that near and dear
Speaker 2: to your heart. Then you I'd be very careful when
Speaker 2: you're dating and getting married. Not so much so with
Speaker 2: a friendship, because there's nothing biblical about splitting that up
Speaker 2: if that person is driving you crazy, and so it
Speaker 2: lived its usefulness and you know, set it free, you
Speaker 2: let it go.
Speaker 4: Although I will say when it comes to the.
Speaker 2: Cognitive biases and all the things to worry about, explaining
Speaker 2: to your family and the kid one is interesting too
Speaker 2: because previous generations is thought, oh my god, you got
Speaker 2: to stay together for the children.
Speaker 4: The children.
Speaker 2: That was more about societal stigma than it was because
Speaker 2: kids can sense that you're miserable and that you're not
Speaker 2: getting along and maybe you're fighting or not talking to
Speaker 2: each other, and it's very cold in that household. I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't know what damages kids more of that or
Speaker 2: that you know, it's my weekend with my kids and
Speaker 2: then next week in the jewey gunder your kids.
Speaker 4: Which one's worse.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So what we know? All the research indicates so
Speaker 9: far that healthy marriages are what's best for children. There's
Speaker 9: no question that that's true. An unhappy marriage is really
Speaker 9: hard for children, particularly if it's overtly unhappy if it's
Speaker 9: cold and distant, that's difficult. But if it's overtly unhappy, yelling, arguing,
Speaker 9: name calling, door slamming. You know the things we think
Speaker 9: of when we think of a really rocky marriage that's
Speaker 9: really hard for kids, A pleasant, cooperative, healthy divorce is
Speaker 9: actually really not all that terrible for children, and an awful, contentious,
Speaker 9: name calling, terrible divorce is really bad for kids. So
Speaker 9: kids tend to respond in these situations how the parents are.
Speaker 9: If the parents are doing.
Speaker 1: Well, the children will generally do well.
Speaker 9: If the parents are not doing well, the children will
Speaker 9: generally have more problems. And that's whether they're married or
Speaker 9: they're divorced. So we used to think divorce was terrible
Speaker 9: for kids. Now we know bad marriages and bad divorces
Speaker 9: are terrible for kids. Would divorce, a cooperative, pleasant, companionable
Speaker 9: divorce is actually not that hard.
Speaker 4: For kids, yeach indicator.
Speaker 2: But typically it's about being punitive and vindictive and all
Speaker 2: these things. Not not always in those kind of relationships,
Speaker 2: but when marriages break up, it's and a kid get
Speaker 2: used as chattel, and it's a whole it's a whole thing.
Speaker 2: It's it can be very, very ugly. You know, back
Speaker 2: to the one thing you mentioned about, you know, buyer's remorse. Here,
Speaker 2: grass is always greener. What if I get what I
Speaker 2: if I leave this person? What happens if I regret
Speaker 2: it later? How often in your practice, Julie, the people
Speaker 2: come back and say, Wow, that was a mistake.
Speaker 4: I should have stayed with them.
Speaker 9: Not very often, But I'm going to tell you that
Speaker 9: partly that's because they've come to see me for therapy
Speaker 9: and they've come to understand that this relationship was not going.
Speaker 1: To change and become more of what they wanted and needed.
Speaker 9: I think in the general population sometimes that happens that
Speaker 9: people go through a divorce or a split up or
Speaker 9: a breakup and they regretted on the back end because
Speaker 9: they didn't put the work in on the front end
Speaker 9: to really.
Speaker 1: See if it could be what they wanted and needed.
Speaker 9: So in my practice, not that frequently. In other couples
Speaker 9: therapists practice, I would say also probably not that frequently,
Speaker 9: because they're coming to see if the relationship has legs,
Speaker 9: and they're learning through the work they're doing.
Speaker 6: That it doesn't.
Speaker 9: But I think when people don't try that and they
Speaker 9: make a decision to split that may not be based
Speaker 9: on the best possible reasons, or may be based on
Speaker 9: something that's more about them and less about the relationship,
Speaker 9: and then they take that into subsequent relationships. The grass
Speaker 9: wasn't necessarily greener because they brought the grass with them
Speaker 9: that in that case, sometimes there is regret on the
Speaker 9: back end. And I have worked with one couple who
Speaker 9: came to me after having been married, divorcing, and remarrying
Speaker 9: the same people, and they came to me after that
Speaker 9: they realized they've made a mistake. They remarried each other,
Speaker 9: and they came to see me to help me figure
Speaker 9: out how to make this iteration of their marriage better
Speaker 9: than the first one.
Speaker 4: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: Wow, all right, Juliett is sure think everything you need
Speaker 2: to know about why you stay in unfulfilling relationships, and
Speaker 2: then that gives you the information to maybe change things.
Speaker 2: She is at Hey Julie by the way the web.
Speaker 2: I want to give her a email address here, it's
Speaker 2: Hey Julie j U L I E D B the
Speaker 2: letter B connected dot care and that's where she practices.
Speaker 2: Any questions or maybe topic your future show, I feel
Speaker 2: fit to reach out and UH, hopefully you feel a
Speaker 2: little bit better. Maybe there's a situation you can apply
Speaker 2: this to Julie. All the best things Again, as always,
Speaker 2: we'll talk next Monday.
Speaker 9: Sounds great, you appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Be well, take care with news.
Speaker 2: In five minutes we've got weather moving in full details
Speaker 2: seconds away on the Home of the Reds seven hundred
Speaker 2: w W sincenat.
Speaker 6: Want to be.
Speaker 2: All right Monday morning, Scott's Long Show back on seven
Speaker 2: hundred WLW. In addition to all the news that's going
Speaker 2: on here locally and in the rest of the world,
Speaker 2: one of the big things that's going on.
Speaker 4: That really cemented, I mean it was.
Speaker 2: It was a cornerstone of Trump getting real elected, and
Speaker 2: of course was what he was going to do about Epstein,
Speaker 2: the Epstein problem. Justice had probably just dropped the final
Speaker 2: transh of those files, more than three million pages, two
Speaker 2: thousand videos, one hundred and eighty thousand images, with the
Speaker 2: women all redacted from the photos. The men were not
Speaker 2: unless it was necessary in order to protect the privacy
Speaker 2: of the women those images. The good news is any
Speaker 2: member of Congress can request to review the unredacted portions
Speaker 2: of the file, so there's some transparency there, and there
Speaker 2: I would say highlights normally, but these are low lights.
Speaker 2: Pete Schin is here, Peter with Epstein Justice dot com
Speaker 2: and his mission is to simply get justice for all
Speaker 2: these women who were victimized over the years by Epstein
Speaker 2: and his cronies.
Speaker 4: Peter, welcome back.
Speaker 6: How are you. I'm great, Scott, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is it's really hard to read a lot
Speaker 2: of this stuff. Let me just run through the highlights
Speaker 2: and I'll fire some questions at you. Bring you up
Speaker 2: to speed if you're listening to the show this morning.
Speaker 2: I wanted to know what's in there, and it's probably
Speaker 2: impossible at this point because it just dropped on Friday.
Speaker 2: To see three you know, to scan three million pages,
Speaker 2: two thousand videos, and almost two hundred thousand images, it's
Speaker 2: going to take some time. But so far, what's come
Speaker 2: out is that Trump's Commerce secretary of Howard Lutnick, had
Speaker 2: planned a trip to Epstein's island in twenty twelve, that
Speaker 2: a thirteen year old girl was forced to perform oral
Speaker 2: sex on Donald Trump and then he raped her while
Speaker 2: Juliane Maxwell was present and also present allegedly when the
Speaker 2: newborn was murdered. Another complaint alleges that calendar girl parties
Speaker 2: at Trump's mar Lago resort involved genital measurements for children,
Speaker 2: and expected the House contempt vote against the Clintons after
Speaker 2: they failed to respond to a subpoena. And you wonder
Speaker 2: why said, there's info in these files that show that
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton's staff had numerous communications with Elai Maxwell. He
Speaker 2: went to his island, Epstein's Island sixteen times. Previous images
Speaker 2: from the last dump showed him a shirtless and a
Speaker 2: hot tub with known victim of the known victim. Anyway,
Speaker 2: Maxwell wrote to a Clinton staffer that she told a
Speaker 2: tabloid quote, what a super stead you are, and how
Speaker 2: I have a crush on you, and how you're hung
Speaker 2: like a horse, and well you get the picture. Hope
Speaker 2: you don't mind that from Julian Maxwell. And then Bill Gates.
Speaker 2: Bill Gates slept with Russian girls, got a sexually transmit
Speaker 2: the disease, and asked for antibiotics so he could secretly
Speaker 2: slip then to his then wife Melinda so she didn't
Speaker 2: get an STD And a lot of this stuff was
Speaker 2: also bankrolled allectly by the Russians and Putin. I think
Speaker 2: those are all the highlights Pete and that's a lot.
Speaker 8: Well, I laugh, not because any of this is funny,
Speaker 8: but because it's horrifying, and because it's impossible for the
Speaker 8: average person, Scott to tell what's true and what's false,
Speaker 8: particularly when the Justice Department is telling me and you
Speaker 8: and every other American that there's nothing to see here
Speaker 8: in these three milien pages, to say nothing of the
Speaker 8: other three million that haven't been released. And as you say,
Speaker 8: members of Congress are free to go and look at
Speaker 8: those other three million pages whenever they'd like. But as
Speaker 8: a practical matter, you know, it's impossible to go through,
Speaker 8: virtually impossible for an ordinary human being to go through
Speaker 8: three million page of documents, to say nothing of the
Speaker 8: three million that are redacted. It it's not transparency. What
Speaker 8: it is, God is It's it's transparency through releasing the
Speaker 8: forest so that there's no way to see any of
Speaker 8: the trees, because there's so much garbage being poured out here.
Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, what.
Speaker 8: Can be believed out of any of it, Well, what
Speaker 8: can be believed for sure is that Epstein just is
Speaker 8: that Jeffrey Epstein moved in a circle of very powerful,
Speaker 8: well connected and financially lucrative people. In fact, that the
Speaker 8: top people in the world not only did he move
Speaker 8: in those circles, but they all admired him, and and
Speaker 8: that should make everybody sick. These folks that that we
Speaker 8: think are are you know, uh, these captains of industry,
Speaker 8: these political leaders, uh and what they what they were
Speaker 8: was just a discussing child predators.
Speaker 6: If these files are to be believed.
Speaker 4: Well, that's the thing too, is that this is huge stump.
Speaker 2: And again there's an old theory about this, is like, hey,
Speaker 2: you want information, will just overwhelm you with evidence and
Speaker 2: there's no way you can sort through it.
Speaker 4: That's kind of an I legal tactic. But these are
Speaker 4: what we don't know.
Speaker 2: The fact is there could be fake or falsely submitted
Speaker 2: images or documents or videos. The hardest part here, if
Speaker 2: not the impossible part, then Pete would be separated incredible
Speaker 2: evidence from disinformation to dumped this massive right.
Speaker 8: Yes, sir and Scott. The thing is that what's called
Speaker 8: for here is an investigation.
Speaker 3: And the irony of.
Speaker 8: Releasing three million documents and then saying, well, there's nothing
Speaker 8: to investigate here, it creates an immediate sense of cognitive dissonance.
Speaker 8: Where you can't really believe what people are. It's one
Speaker 8: of these things where it's, hey, do you want to
Speaker 8: believe your own eyes or what I'm telling you from
Speaker 8: the reality that if you're telling me that you've got
Speaker 8: six million documents but nothing to investigate, how is anybody
Speaker 8: to make sense of that? Seems there's plenty to investigate
Speaker 8: in six million pages where the files and the amount,
Speaker 8: there was plenty to investigate before you release a single page. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and yet what we're being told is that no investigation
Speaker 8: is necessary because we've unloaded an entire sewers worth of information,
Speaker 8: unverifiable as it is, onto you.
Speaker 6: And so that's enough and eat.
Speaker 5: Your gruel and like it right?
Speaker 2: Well, Pete, we also saw that there were some Trump
Speaker 2: allegations that were pretty mind blowing that have now been
Speaker 2: pulled from the dob DJ website and it says page
Speaker 2: not found. Doesn't that add just more fuel to the
Speaker 2: conspiracy fires as well? And then therefore the backlash would
Speaker 2: be more of a demand for the president to maybe
Speaker 2: unredact some of the stuff, or be more transparent about
Speaker 2: what the role was and being more forward about prosecuting people.
Speaker 8: Oh well, that would be an ideal situation, you know.
Speaker 8: And that is the thing I think that for many people,
Speaker 8: myself included, is among the the greatest disappointments thus far
Speaker 8: in this version of President Trump is that I think
Speaker 8: many of us expected him to take charge of this
Speaker 8: matter and clear it up. I mean, let's just take
Speaker 8: everything that the president has said at face value. That
Speaker 8: he distanced himself from Epstein long before he was ever
Speaker 8: even convicted of a crime. And let's just take that
Speaker 8: at face value. Okay, I believe you now do something
Speaker 8: because this guy that you determined to be more than
Speaker 8: twenty years ago continued to commit very serious criminal acts.
Speaker 8: And not only that, but it appears that he involved
Speaker 8: several other powerful people, and by several other, I mean
Speaker 8: many many powerful people in his web, including a president
Speaker 8: of from two administrations. As the files or to be believed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's your price, any thing about that for the
Speaker 2: Trump you know, diehards and believers. The DOJ said that
Speaker 2: these aren't founded in false claims are submitted before the
Speaker 2: twenty twenty election, kind of an October surprise. But here's
Speaker 2: the problem with that theory is that, Okay, you just
Speaker 2: released all this information and then you went it's on
Speaker 2: the webs on the well, now we're going to take
Speaker 2: it off the web that you know, if there's nothing
Speaker 2: to worry about, nothing the scene, why pull it from
Speaker 2: from public.
Speaker 8: View, particularly since there are plenty of allegedly false accusations
Speaker 8: that you've left out there.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So no, none, none of it makes sense other than
Speaker 8: as a tactic to distract from the fact that what's
Speaker 8: really required to get to the bottom of the rot
Speaker 8: that is infecting a republic is a no nonsense bipartisan
Speaker 8: and in fact, I would argue a nonpartisan congressional investigation
Speaker 8: in which for just five minutes, Congress drops the partisan
Speaker 8: boxing gloves and comes together to do their congress their
Speaker 8: constitutionally mandated function of holding the executive branch accountable. Scott,
Speaker 8: I used to be a liaison from the Secretary of
Speaker 8: the Air Force to set up appropriators. And here's why
Speaker 8: I know about the executive branch as a liaison from
Speaker 8: the executive branch, which is that the executive branch is
Speaker 8: designed to keep secrets.
Speaker 6: That's what it does.
Speaker 8: The executive branch keeps secrets in order to ensure our
Speaker 8: national defense and other executive functions that have to be
Speaker 8: held That means that as a practical matter, the executive
Speaker 8: branch isn't well equipped to disclose information.
Speaker 6: It is the job of Congress to force.
Speaker 8: The executive branch, to hold the executive branch accountable, and
Speaker 8: it is Congress's job to do That's what Leo at
Speaker 8: Epstein Justice want, simply for Congress to do their job. Now,
Speaker 8: I'm not saying that the law that was passed on
Speaker 8: November nineteenth has had no effect. Obviously it's forcing the
Speaker 8: release of these files whole cloth, but it's not what's
Speaker 8: really required, Scott. What's really necessary is a nonpartisan investigation
Speaker 8: where we can get some legitimate answers instead of just
Speaker 8: being dumped this information that prosecutors should investigate.
Speaker 2: So you mentioned they have the job of investigating this,
Speaker 2: and they won't do it. They also have the main
Speaker 2: job the Congress has, as you know, is to pass
Speaker 2: a budget. We haven't had one of those in my lifetime,
Speaker 2: I think, And right now we have a partial government shutdown.
Speaker 2: So how's this looking as as as you want and
Speaker 2: getting stuff done? I say it ain't looking pretty good, Bete.
Speaker 6: I agree with you.
Speaker 8: Good And that's part of the issue, isn't it that
Speaker 8: at this point in our nation's history, here on the
Speaker 8: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our nation's founding, and
Speaker 8: the system's not working the way it's intended to. There's
Speaker 8: a lot of reasons for that, but I'm not a
Speaker 8: political scientist. But what my goal and the goal of
Speaker 8: everyone at Epstein's Justice is to get the system working
Speaker 8: as intended for this sole purpose, to protect our children,
Speaker 8: to bring some justice to the children now women who
Speaker 8: were abused by Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful cronies, and
Speaker 8: to prevent our children from being picked up off the
Speaker 8: streets by billionaires satual desires and then being raped with
Speaker 8: impunity and without consequence, which is what happened in this case, right,
Speaker 8: And that's horrifying to think and consider, but.
Speaker 6: It's a fact.
Speaker 2: Peachin from Epstein Justice dot com about the three million pages,
Speaker 2: the videos, of the hundreds of thousands of images that
Speaker 2: were released on Friday, and there's some just jaw dropping
Speaker 2: allegations in here. One of those includes the Clinton's and
Speaker 2: Clinton said, hey, I never sent emails. We have no
Speaker 2: idea what's going on. But in this latest trange we
Speaker 2: found that literally dozens and dozens of emails were exchanged
Speaker 2: between his staffers and Elaine Maxwell from twenty two thousand
Speaker 2: and one to two thousand and four that Clinton flew
Speaker 2: on Epstein's plane at least at least at the minimum
Speaker 2: sixteen times, and she Maxwell herself was pretty flirtatious in
Speaker 2: the emails. As I mentioned that, in the fact, there
Speaker 2: doesn't that email pattern tell us about the nature of
Speaker 2: these relationships A.
Speaker 8: Dozen indeed, Scott, you know you're What it displays is
Speaker 8: a familiarity just with Epstein the person, But it displays
Speaker 8: a familiarity with a.
Speaker 6: Lifestyle, doesn't it.
Speaker 8: This person is in the words of Larry Summer's lush,
Speaker 8: he's lascivious. People knew all about Jeffrey Epstein, these wealthy people.
Speaker 8: You know, one thing you might just ask yourself, just
Speaker 8: asually is how could he consider how could he continue
Speaker 8: to be banked after he's a convicted sex offender or
Speaker 8: a registered set offender. Yes, of course these chargers are
Speaker 8: relatively minor, but nevertheless they're still felonies. How would he
Speaker 8: continued to be able to be banked by someone like
Speaker 8: JP Morgan for years after he was a convicted sex offender.
Speaker 8: Everybody turned a blind eye to his capture, his exploitation,
Speaker 8: and his sexual assault of children. They turned a blind
Speaker 8: eye because they had similar proclivities. Okay, maybe they like
Speaker 8: to wait until they were nineteen or eighteen years in
Speaker 8: one day, but nevertheless, they understood that Epstein might cross
Speaker 8: that line, and they didn't care in part because perhaps
Speaker 8: we don't know they shared his very same criminal prosuvity.
Speaker 3: Sure, if only someone would look into.
Speaker 2: It, which is why we have this standoff. There's nothing
Speaker 2: to see here, nothing to see here. It's because when
Speaker 2: it's if it's solely one side or the other, you know,
Speaker 2: team B goes against team A and vice versa. But
Speaker 2: when A and B are all involved in the scandal,
Speaker 2: that's a little bit different, and it goes to show
Speaker 2: you where the real power is. One thing came out
Speaker 2: of this, and this has the potential for even bigger scandal.
Speaker 2: We call an America black mail. The Russians call a
Speaker 2: compromat with a K, and that is that the allegations
Speaker 2: involving Bill Gates getting an STD from Russian girls, well
Speaker 2: Russian we're the Russian girls from him, allegedly supplied by
Speaker 2: Putin in Russia to Epstein's island with the ideas that now,
Speaker 2: now we have black mamotill on these people, how likely
Speaker 2: is that scenario.
Speaker 8: It's as likely as any other scott And in fact
Speaker 8: it's more likely because what's not very often discussed in
Speaker 8: America media, but is very often discussed in the British
Speaker 8: media is the fact that Delaying Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell,
Speaker 8: a noted British publisher, was also well known to be
Speaker 8: a MASAD intelligence agent, an Israeli intelligence agents, and so
Speaker 8: there's questions about, hey, was Jeffrey Epstein connected to US, Russian,
Speaker 8: Israeli intelligence?
Speaker 5: All three the CIA, none of them.
Speaker 3: We don't really know.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 8: Historically speaking, I'm a historian in part I have a
Speaker 8: master's degree in military history. And the fact of the
Speaker 8: matter is is that historically speaking, our own intelligence services
Speaker 8: have done such things as fed US citizens LSD and
Speaker 8: Canadian citizens LSD just to see if they could get
Speaker 8: a truth serum. That's one of the things that the
Speaker 8: True Commission revealed in nineteen seventy seven. Supposedly we stomped
Speaker 8: all of those illicted activities out, but what if we
Speaker 8: didn't got What if our intelligence agencies are responsible for
Speaker 8: running a honey pot blackmail slash compliment operation to control
Speaker 8: our own federal government. It's as likely as a foreign
Speaker 8: government doing it grankly, and we have no investigation. In fact,
Speaker 8: what we've been told is that there's nothing to investigate.
Speaker 2: Like a John Clancy, John Grisham, Stephen King novel for
Speaker 2: crying out loud. And you don't want to think about this,
Speaker 2: so real quick before I let you go peachin what
Speaker 2: happens next? You at Epstein Justice are putting tremendous pressure
Speaker 2: for the guilty to become convicted or at least go
Speaker 2: to trial, to again fight for justice for these young
Speaker 2: women who are victimized over the years. Well, you know
Speaker 2: that that's the optimistic side. What is the reality here, Pete?
Speaker 2: I mean, is anything going to come with this?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 6: I believe that.
Speaker 8: Three is gone, and I'll tell you why, Al Suddy.
Speaker 8: More of has come of this than I could ever
Speaker 8: have possibly imagined. When I reached out to Epstein Justices
Speaker 8: director Nick Bryant back in twenty nineteen and said, hey,
Speaker 8: you know, do you have a can we talk about
Speaker 8: the Franklin scandal, which was another situation in Omaha that
Speaker 8: ended very unhappily for everybody who tried to bring a
Speaker 8: child sex abuse network to justice.
Speaker 6: It didn't work out.
Speaker 8: Everybody walked away and the only people that got punished
Speaker 8: with the victims that happened in Omaha in the eighties
Speaker 8: and early nineties. And so Nick and I have been
Speaker 8: working on this together for years across across both Democrat
Speaker 8: and Republican administrations. It's a nonpartisan effort. And what happens
Speaker 8: next is we continue to work on it. We continue
Speaker 8: to point out that the American people are living in
Speaker 8: a republic that may well be controlled by intelligence agencies,
Speaker 8: foreign ornamenttic we don't even know. And we're going to
Speaker 8: keep working on this until we get not just justice,
Speaker 8: Scott for the victims, which is of course the most
Speaker 8: important thing, but it's impossible to get that justice without
Speaker 8: first getting the truth. And we're going to keep fighting
Speaker 8: for it until the truth ultimately is revealed.
Speaker 4: Hope.
Speaker 2: So all the best, Peach chinover at Epstein Justice dot
Speaker 2: com for all the latest click over there, Pete. I'll
Speaker 2: have you back again soon as a situation Warrens thanks again, brother, appreciate.
Speaker 6: You, appreciate you, Scott, thanks for keeping the word out there.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, take care. Let me get a news update
Speaker 2: in and this is just horrific news on this Monday morning.
Speaker 2: We'll switch it up because I need a little something
Speaker 2: lighter right now.
Speaker 4: How about you.
Speaker 2: The Reds yesterday signing, Yeah, hu Aenio Suarez, Gina is
Speaker 2: coming back to Cincinnati. A Huenio Suarez is now a Red,
Speaker 2: adding some much needed power in the middle of that lineup.
Speaker 2: How it all fits together? Jeff Carr from Lockdown Reds
Speaker 2: next on seven hundred WLW Scott slunha.
Speaker 4: Sloany here, seven hundred w old editor.
Speaker 2: Never mind the deep, deep deep freeze we're in right
Speaker 2: now and have been for a week in the foreseeable future.
Speaker 2: Never mind about the snow moving in tomorrow. Let's talk
Speaker 2: about something warmer, and that is Red's baseball coming up.
Speaker 2: We kind of threw the town said I'm not going
Speaker 2: to get anybody. They're not gonna get anybody. Sure enough,
Speaker 2: the Reds do a deal finalized yesterday, Iohanneo Suarez, the
Speaker 2: former Red comes back home one year, fifteen million dollar deal,
Speaker 2: club option for twenty our mutual option, I should say
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty seven. So far, looks like he's the
Speaker 2: best free agent bat still available because you couldn't afford
Speaker 2: the big boys, and any Suarez should ad some meat
Speaker 2: to the middle of that order. Joining the show with
Speaker 2: Lockdown Reds Podcast. The only daily Reds podcast is Jeff
Speaker 2: car Jeff, welcome back. Good to have you, buddy.
Speaker 5: How are you welly. It's great to be back, Great
Speaker 5: to be talking some baseball. And oh my gosh, I
Speaker 5: warmed up so much on Sunday evening.
Speaker 4: Last night it broke They traded him, and what was it?
Speaker 2: I think in March of twenty twenty two he was
Speaker 2: crying saying, you know, maybe I'll finish here and now
Speaker 2: he's back. You know, I think some fans may look
Speaker 2: at it go well, if you wait long enough, you
Speaker 2: get you know, he went Suarez coming back in the
Speaker 2: twilight of his career perhaps, and that's more of a hey,
Speaker 2: let's bring back somebody more familiar, as opposed to going
Speaker 2: and getting someone who could really wind up getting a
Speaker 2: pennant or dare I say, a World Series trophy.
Speaker 4: So what does this all mean.
Speaker 2: It's a good fit, clearly he was here before, but
Speaker 2: is this just simply hey, this is the best we
Speaker 2: can afford right now?
Speaker 4: And it's more about nostalgia than his production.
Speaker 5: There's a very weird cross section that the Reds are
Speaker 5: running into with this and that, yes, he is the
Speaker 5: best that they can afford, but honestly, he's a really
Speaker 5: good upgrade. We're talking about a dude that, between Arizona
Speaker 5: and Seattle last year hit forty nine home runs and
Speaker 5: had over one hundred and ten rs. I think he
Speaker 5: had one hundred and eighteen specifically, and he slugged over
Speaker 5: five hundred. No regular Reds player did that. You have
Speaker 5: to like separate out guys that played in like thirty
Speaker 5: games or something like that to say, okay, well he
Speaker 5: had a really good slugging percentage. There's a lot of
Speaker 5: singles hitters on this lineup. Last year, while the idea
Speaker 5: was to keep the line moving forward, that idea produced
Speaker 5: a very mid offense. The Dolphins wasn't horrible. The lineup
Speaker 5: was not horrible last year, but the lineup also wasn't good.
Speaker 5: And if you just have a slightly above average lineup,
Speaker 5: you can reduce the kind of runs that this pitching
Speaker 5: staff that is absolutely October ready can really back up strongly.
Speaker 5: And so you bring in au Haneo Suarez to protect
Speaker 5: Elie de la Cruz and you slot him in right
Speaker 5: behind him, whether that be in the three spot of
Speaker 5: the four spot, and the rest of the lineup begins
Speaker 5: to make sense. You don't have to force a square
Speaker 5: peg into a round hole and put Spencer Steer or
Speaker 5: Tyler Stevensoner or even force south Stewart into the cleanup
Speaker 5: spot prematurely. You can let those guys be those guys
Speaker 5: other spots on the lineup, while you have this veteran
Speaker 5: dude who was coming here to do one Thing's loney.
Speaker 5: He's coming here to hit danyers yep, and he's been
Speaker 5: pretty good at doing that.
Speaker 2: Pretty good at that, don't him for his defense? Not
Speaker 2: really a good third base, third basement. I may I
Speaker 2: got a pinch, Maybe you can play. Uh does it
Speaker 2: concern you the highest strikeout rate.
Speaker 5: Now, because that's the game today, and that's something that
Speaker 5: other people had talked about. Between strikeout rates and between
Speaker 5: batting average is the only hit two twenty eight last
Speaker 5: year as far as the game itself, that's just how
Speaker 5: everything has moved. The league average batting average last year
Speaker 5: was two forty one, so he was still slightly below it,
Speaker 5: but he wasn't like egregiously below it as we would
Speaker 5: have seen in years past that that two twenty eight
Speaker 5: mark means. So the line is kind of moved when
Speaker 5: it comes to those things. But he is an extra
Speaker 5: base hitting machine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got the improved bullpen, he got depth in
Speaker 2: the outfield, and now you've got a guy in the
Speaker 2: middle of the order that can really help out. You
Speaker 2: mentioned protecting La de la Cruz. Joey Vado when he
Speaker 2: played with him, said he was the best teammate ever,
Speaker 2: and now it is a veteran he comes back to Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: and I think that's another thing he provides because clearly
Speaker 2: somebody like Ellie needs a little direction and needs a
Speaker 2: little guidance and made he's the guy to get in
Speaker 2: the clubhouse and do that.
Speaker 5: Overall. Absolutely, like I feel like at Reds Fest, they're
Speaker 5: really pumped up Matt McClain to make him sound as
Speaker 5: though he's one of the leaders of this ball club.
Speaker 5: But I think that au Haanio Suarez, no matter who
Speaker 5: you deem, is the current leader to the ball club.
Speaker 5: Auan Suarez is going to come in and fit right
Speaker 5: in with that dude. It's been said no matter where
Speaker 5: he has played ever since he left the Reds, they've
Speaker 5: all loved him. I mean, Seattle wanted to back this offseason.
Speaker 5: Arizona at least approached it a little bit. But Arizona's
Speaker 5: kind of in a weird spot where it's like there's
Speaker 5: a sort of contending sort of not but everybody sings
Speaker 5: his praises as far as the clubhouse guy goes, and
Speaker 5: he brings the sort of value to that that you
Speaker 5: can't measure with the numbers, and I think that that
Speaker 5: in and of itself will provide plenty of value for.
Speaker 2: This Yeah, in as far as injuries, you don't have
Speaker 2: to worry as much because he'd be solding in a DHRL.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 5: I think there's going to be just like a sprinkling
Speaker 5: of time first base here in spring training to see
Speaker 5: if that's something he can do. And there's going to
Speaker 5: be just the inklean of time at third base. But
Speaker 5: they have key Brian Hayes over there, right, which, now
Speaker 5: that you have a guy that can mash in the
Speaker 5: DH spot, you can stomach of it on like hitting
Speaker 5: third basement a little bit more. I think that this
Speaker 5: move all around, like we've been critical all off season
Speaker 5: on the lockdown Reds podcast of what the front office
Speaker 5: has been doing. But this was the move to flip
Speaker 5: that narrative, and now it feels like the Reds have
Speaker 5: had a very good off season, even though it took
Speaker 5: two months to get to this.
Speaker 2: Right right, He's Jeff Carr with Lockdown regis Only Daily
Speaker 2: Reds podcast. Of course, the big news dropping late yesterday
Speaker 2: is the fact that the former Red A Huanu Suarez,
Speaker 2: is bringing his bats some forty nine home runs to
Speaker 2: Great American Ballpark, adding some meat to the heart of
Speaker 2: the order, which is certainly going to cause a lot
Speaker 2: of Reds fans waking up this morning to be joyful
Speaker 2: and getting ready for the snow to melt the temperatures
Speaker 2: go up in baseball. Back at GABP, the Reds are
Speaker 2: projected to have Jeff only I think three million left
Speaker 2: before they hit their payroll ceiling. They slined Souarez to
Speaker 2: fifteen no salary dumps. For those who are critical, maybe
Speaker 2: like yourself, of the Reds and their spending, does this change?
Speaker 2: Does this look like they change their philosophy?
Speaker 4: Someone I saw that.
Speaker 5: Charlie Goldsmith reported last night that according to sources, the
Speaker 5: Reds don't have to make a move to quote, you know,
Speaker 5: afford this. They are making an effort to finally put
Speaker 5: together a winner and spend what it takes to do that.
Speaker 5: And now that doesn't necessarily mean they're going to go
Speaker 5: out and throw three hundred million dollars at the free
Speaker 5: agent list, but they know that there's a couple of
Speaker 5: supplemental areas that they can make this team better. And
Speaker 5: we've been saying it all off season two that it's like,
Speaker 5: you don't have to rebuild the lineup, you just have
Speaker 5: to bring in a bopper, because the bopper is what
Speaker 5: makes this lineup makes sense. They don't have that guy currently,
Speaker 5: and while south Stewart could very well develop into that guy,
Speaker 5: I think it's stuper wise and a very big deviation
Speaker 5: from who their character has been over the last already
Speaker 5: plus years that the Reds are not saying, well, yes,
Speaker 5: that's what we're betting on. We're betting on some unproven
Speaker 5: guy to come in here and prove it. They're gonna say, yeah,
Speaker 5: sure he can prove it, but we also have a
Speaker 5: proven guy that can back him up. But I think
Speaker 5: that this this has been such a shift, this one move,
Speaker 5: that I don't necessarily believe was going to happen until
Speaker 5: some things fell into place because the markets moved in
Speaker 5: such a way, like reportedly the Boston Red Sox were
Speaker 5: looking to sign the you Hani as far as the
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh Pirates had noted, like reported that they were going
Speaker 5: to match or beat any offer that the Reds had,
Speaker 5: and Gino was like, nope, I'm going to Cincinnati. So
Speaker 5: I think there was a little bit of familiarity in
Speaker 5: there and a little bit of he just wasn't getting
Speaker 5: the offers he wanted, and so he's like, let me
Speaker 5: go back to the place that I already hit forty
Speaker 5: nine at Let's see if we hit fifty nine or
Speaker 5: sixty nine. Who that man here?
Speaker 3: And then we'll see what they pay me next year?
Speaker 4: Okay? And that brings up the next question.
Speaker 2: And then Jeff is because he's doing one year, fifteen million,
Speaker 2: a mutual option for twenty twenty seven, So okay, fifteen
Speaker 2: MILLI season. Initially I thought I saw that he was
Speaker 2: projected to get a two year minimum two year deal
Speaker 2: a forty five million, So he's living a lot of
Speaker 2: money on the table. What does that tell is a
Speaker 2: tremendous value or is it a concerned to the market collapse.
Speaker 2: I mean, if all these teams are after him, why
Speaker 2: do we only get him for fifteen?
Speaker 5: A guy with his type of profile Sloani like, thinking
Speaker 5: just specifically in terms of the player, is probably looking
Speaker 5: for his final dealer of his career, and he wasn't
Speaker 5: getting that. He wasn't getting the kind of offer that
Speaker 5: he's like, all right, I can hang my hat here
Speaker 5: and then, you know, make sure that this is good
Speaker 5: to go and at the end of my career I
Speaker 5: can be happy about this. I think he was probably
Speaker 5: getting that two year deal where he probably won in
Speaker 5: three or four, because you're right, I saw lots of
Speaker 5: twenty four twenty five million dollars a year. I did
Speaker 5: at one point see somebody project a three year deal
Speaker 5: for twenty million per The fact that the Reds got
Speaker 5: him at fifteen is just so phenomenal, and it's the
Speaker 5: kind of deal that as I look around the league
Speaker 5: and I look at the coverage that other teams have
Speaker 5: pretty much every team. I even saw something about the
Speaker 5: Mets that they're just like boy, looking at the Jorgey
Speaker 5: Polanco deal that the New York Mets signed early on
Speaker 5: in the off season, that looks pretty bad now with
Speaker 5: Ayu Hami Osuarez signing what he did, So like everybody
Speaker 5: is invious of the Reds? Is that right to say?
Speaker 5: Can I say yeah, to say that people are envious
Speaker 5: of the Reds and an off season, Oh.
Speaker 2: You got a thirty four year old DH and but
Speaker 2: you know one year deal is like that. That's a
Speaker 2: no brain risk, no risk, no risk.
Speaker 5: And that's the one thing that I've always wondered about
Speaker 5: Nick Krawl is that can he make that big risky move?
Speaker 5: But if there's moves like this that are available that
Speaker 5: aren't risky, how can you blame a guy for not
Speaker 5: going too crazy on the risk department?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the other concern I mentioned the batting average too,
Speaker 2: But you know you got to get past the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: It all runs through the Dodgers.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 2: Again, I'm not going to be dismissive of the Cubs
Speaker 2: and the Brewers at this point or anyone in the division,
Speaker 2: but we saw what they did last season. Arguably a
Speaker 2: much better team now than they were in October. Not
Speaker 2: only was Suarez, what they've done with a bullpen and
Speaker 2: everything else, and is what sub three hundred on base
Speaker 2: percentage is concerning for a guy they're expecting these.
Speaker 4: Kind of results out of.
Speaker 2: But I look at it go you know, the Dodgers
Speaker 2: struck out the Reds what fifty four times in four games,
Speaker 2: and Chavez ravine this doesn't really.
Speaker 4: Help that.
Speaker 5: The strikeout part is something that I don't necessarily worry
Speaker 5: about because he can change the game with one swing,
Speaker 5: just because I feel like it's the power game that
Speaker 5: the Reds have missed. The idea that the rally can
Speaker 5: be built is always a good thing, But at some
Speaker 5: point you run into a picture like Yamamoto who is
Speaker 5: absolutely dealing, and you need that guy that with one swing.
Speaker 6: In the back can change the game.
Speaker 5: And we know that Gino can do that. So I
Speaker 5: mean I ordinarily, looking at a guy with a sub
Speaker 5: three hundred on base percentage, you kind of going yeah, right, yeah.
Speaker 5: So I don't blame you there for thinking that. But
Speaker 5: I am just absolutely over the moon about the five
Speaker 5: twenty eight plugging percentage and the fact that the isolated
Speaker 5: power statistic that a lot of folks like to use
Speaker 5: because it's the slugging percentage minus the batting average. The
Speaker 5: idea of separating the extra he sits out from the
Speaker 5: singles his career isolated powers to eighteen. There was no
Speaker 5: regular reds hitter last year over two hundred. That's how
Speaker 5: much better than everyone else in this lineup he was
Speaker 5: at getting those extra bases.
Speaker 2: Right right, And now you've got some little more flexibility
Speaker 2: and a lineup two on the other side of the thing,
Speaker 2: and primarily at the age as you mentioned salth Stewart
Speaker 2: at first, Spencer Steart left. There's there's a lot of
Speaker 2: flexibility there because you still got guys like Hayes and Benson.
Speaker 5: And that's a very underrated part of this move because
Speaker 5: up until Augenio Suarez signed, you can maybe squint at
Speaker 5: the lineup and be like, twell, all right, but the bench,
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, I don't even know what the plan
Speaker 5: was there. But now today eu Haeneo Suarez is here.
Speaker 5: You used the positional versatility of both south Stewart and
Speaker 5: Spencer Steer, where one can play in the outfield, one
Speaker 5: can play pretty much every infield spot. And you know
Speaker 5: South Sport also losing twenty six pounds from last year.
Speaker 5: Your last image of him on the field in a
Speaker 5: Red's uniform, it's gonna look a lot different on opening
Speaker 5: day because dude's trimmed down and he's ready to go.
Speaker 5: So I feel like this both improved the starting lineup
Speaker 5: and the bench just simply because of how it changes
Speaker 5: the role of guys like Steer and Stewart.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I like my sales Stewart thick and chunky.
Speaker 3: I mean, I didn't tell it, guys.
Speaker 5: It makes me feel like I could fit into his
Speaker 5: uniform AND's done a whole lot of players that I
Speaker 5: feel that way.
Speaker 4: That's the guy. He's like, you know, it's like he's
Speaker 4: the every guy guy. I like Sales Stewart that way,
Speaker 4: and not enough Mike Ford's in this world the man.
Speaker 4: Come on, Yeah, I appreciate it, right right, He's like that.
Speaker 2: Gives us all hope all you know, you get that
Speaker 2: little thick Middlesex. It's like, hey, he's a baseball player,
Speaker 2: as John Cruxa. Lady, I'm not an athlete. I'm a
Speaker 2: baseball player. So yeah, I mean, there is now hope
Speaker 2: in Red. So it's amazing how signing a Suarez has
Speaker 2: changed the hope's dreams and desires of regination and one
Speaker 2: fell swoop and they did it pretty much on the
Speaker 2: cheap at this point. Now, I know the payroll you
Speaker 2: go back to that they're twenty twenty five pro. I
Speaker 2: think it is one nineteen hundred and nineteen million. Is
Speaker 2: this a new trend do you think? Or again, it's
Speaker 2: always hard to read with one player, But is it
Speaker 2: a one is it a one off because it's Juarez
Speaker 2: or do you just see them going, hey, you know what,
Speaker 2: we're close, let's get closer.
Speaker 5: I still think it's it's the close let's get closer
Speaker 5: that I'm willing to buy into that feeling. Albeit that's
Speaker 5: not been something that we've seen from this organization over
Speaker 5: the years. I understand that. But the signing of ating
Speaker 5: of Sours could have easily been something that they're like,
Speaker 5: you know what, we don't need. There's these other guys
Speaker 5: that are a tier below him and a lot cheaper
Speaker 5: than him, and we can go bring that guy in.
Speaker 5: And that's what they do. That's what they have done
Speaker 5: my entire life is what it feels like. But I
Speaker 5: saw a comparison to a great one year stent of
Speaker 5: a red in Greg Vaughan that somebody made for the
Speaker 5: se u Haano Suarez deal. And if that's what that
Speaker 5: turns into, then hopefully they can just build on that
Speaker 5: further because there's a lot of dead money in Jammercandelario
Speaker 5: coming off the book next year that is currently on
Speaker 5: the books this year. So there's a belief that this
Speaker 5: could continue. But at the same time, they know they've
Speaker 5: got their stars on the cheap. The core is cheap
Speaker 5: right now, so let's go ahead and supplement that core
Speaker 5: with a couple of guys like this. And I've been
Speaker 5: saying it all off season. If it just made this
Speaker 5: one move, I would feel better about things. Could they
Speaker 5: make more moves and I'd feel even better better than Yes. Absolutely,
Speaker 5: But at this point, if they hadn't have made the
Speaker 5: Suarez deal, I'd have been like, well, the off season
Speaker 5: was something, and they made the bullpen better.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they still have a glaring hole.
Speaker 5: In the lineup.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think that any Yeah, and you
Speaker 2: got Tito running this whole thing, so you're worried about
Speaker 2: guys getting time. He figures that out, which is awesome.
Speaker 2: You've got your bullpennis set now, as you said, the
Speaker 2: road starting rotation is good.
Speaker 4: The outfield we've got depth, You've got a hitter.
Speaker 2: You know, if if the hoping dream was to make
Speaker 2: the playoffs for the first time in forever, and they
Speaker 2: did that last year, got swept of course by LA.
Speaker 2: You'd expect now a little bit more pressure going, Okay,
Speaker 2: we're in, we spent more, Can we get to the
Speaker 2: next round? Can we continue to win more games and
Speaker 2: do better in the postseason and not get you know,
Speaker 2: not get eliminated in a handful of games? And that
Speaker 2: was awful, right, I mean, it was just awful. They
Speaker 2: just got absolutely hammered by the DIY. I just wanted
Speaker 2: to win World Series. So if you're gonna lose, list
Speaker 2: to the champions, but you want to be the champions,
Speaker 2: and this gives a little more hope.
Speaker 4: He's Jeff Carr at the Lockdown Reds.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you're gonna head out to the spring training
Speaker 2: as you're writing about now, getting the bags packed, I
Speaker 2: would think. And so we'll chat check with you from
Speaker 2: time to time out and out in Arizona. Jeff all
Speaker 2: the best man. Look for to chatting again the season.
Speaker 5: So appreciate you all right on that.

Speaker 2: and so much going on in the world, including the ice,
Speaker 2: the snow, the storm coming tomorrow, I'll keep you all
Speaker 2: updated here on the Home of those Reds.
