WEBVTT - 2-2-26 Scott Sloan Show 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:00.600 Don't want it. 0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:05.880 Sloading here on seven hundred w wel W. As you know, 0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:08.280 the deep freeze held over for a second week. I 0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.799 think that is the big story here as we kick 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:12.879 off the work week. Coldest part of the year is 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:16.840 happening right now. Another one to three or possibly even 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:20.400 more inches of snow coming tomorrow. We're in the thicket 0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:22.920 things right now. Doesn't look like we're gonna get warm 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.720 enough to do much for an extended period till maybe 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:29.160 a week from now, if that we shall see. Jumping 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.000 in right now with the from the car show on 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:35.640 fifty five KRC Dane Donovan, Donovan's Taranauto and Ridge and 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.480 Blue Ash. Because every car I got, like three people 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:40.440 in my family all their cars are dead because of 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.320 the cold. It's happened all over the place. Dane, the 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.040 busiest guy in Cincinnati. There's no question about it. How 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:47.200 full is your parking. 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:53.000 Lot, Scott? It is? Yeah, we are, we are well, 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:57.960 just we don't have a spot. We don't have a spot. 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.720 Here's the other thing too, because typically it's a battery issue, 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.440 because we know the cold drains battery power. You go 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.600 in your car and all of a sudden, nothing's going on, 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:08.839 it's probably too late. 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.640 Can you even get a battery anywhere these days? 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:14.639 And iman with with all the cold, as much people's 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:18.240 affective from the south to here and westward, it's got 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:18.880 to be pretty tight. 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:24.480 Yeah, you know, you can still get batteries. Most of 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:29.160 your newer vehicles now have what's they have it, what's 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.840 what's called an a GM battery. It's not lead acid. 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.479 It's a dry cell battery, which of course involves more 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:40.520 cost because of all the electronics on these cars. These 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:44.399 cars demand a lot more of of vehicle battery and 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.280 you still can't get them, but they are significantly higher, 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:50.360 you know. It's you're not paying forty nine bucks for 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:55.000 a battery anymore in your vehicle. They're significantly higher, you know. 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:59.040 And the other thing that a lot of people don't 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.840 realize the average life of a battery in our region 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.520 is only three to four years. That's the average life. 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.000 You know a lot of people go, I just had 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.160 a battery replaced and might go back and like, well 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.280 you had to replace four years ago. Well that's that's 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.760 only four Well that's the average life of a battery. 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.640 I mean, you know, we don't realize that. You know, 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.280 when we plug our phones in every night, that you know, 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.280 but your car demands a lot more of your battery 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.960 with all the electronics and the power doors and the 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:32.079 radios and the backup cameras, so you know, they are 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.280 used a lot more. Some vehicles even have two batteries 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:36.960 because a lot of these cars have the. 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.280 You know, the the uh like a hybrid. 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.680 Right, Yeah, you've got your hybrids and then you got 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:48.040 the ones that you know will shut off, you know, 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.440 and then restart when you let off the brake. So yeah, 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.480 there's there's there's a lot more demand. And the other 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.640 thing about a battery is and a lot of people 0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.360 don't realize this is one. It's it's absolutely important that 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.200 you get it checked regularly, right, and and it's something 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.200 that it's something that can be done very easily. We 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:10.120 we we do it for free. But you know, I 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:14.440 can test the battery today and tomorrow it'd be absolutely dead, 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.800 you know, one of the cells just die. So you know, 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:20.280 there are usually warning signs of a battery like a 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.680 slow start or a slow crank, uh. But it's it's 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.919 it's very important that you get it tested because again, 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.560 the extreme heat, extreme cold put puts a lot of 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.320 hard work on your battery, Dane. 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.400 Don what's worse for the car that's cold weather. 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:41.840 The heat cold the cold is is a lot is 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.920 a lot harder on these vehicles, especially when you get 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.120 into emissions and the engine. And you know, uh, there's 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:52.480 always been this debate that you know that you know, 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.280 if you start it and let it run a little 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.480 bit and get it warmed up before you just starts 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:00.880 car and just take off. And I believe that's an 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.280 important thing. You know, you want to that that discosity. 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.520 That oil when it's as cold as it is is 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.880 real thick, right, so it puts a little bit more, 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.080 you know, it makes the engine work a little bit harder. 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.800 So most of us nowadays have the remote start, and yes, 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:18.640 it is a good idea to do the remote start. 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.440 Just let it run an idle a little bit, let 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.039 it get warmed up, and it's a little bit harder 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.919 on on the engine. And it would be like you know, 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.240 you getting up at you know when when you get 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.680 up at four or five whatever and just running a 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:36.680 marathon or running five miles right without getting you know, 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.440 some coffee or some caffeine. 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.840 Or Yeah, it used to be back in. 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.000 The old days, it was, you know, a carburetor engine, 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.080 which there are fewer of now because I'll feel injected. 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:47.719 But you'd have to let that warm up. It's like 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.040 I got to warm the car up, otherwise it's gonna 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.440 stall out and cough and everything else because it's not warm. 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.000 Less less true on fuel injected cars. But still to 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.320 get that oil running through the engine and warmed up 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.799 before you, you know, shift it to year is probably 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.159 a good idea. Hey, real quick, on the on the 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.160 battery thing, there's a you know, you can't replace your 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.240 own battery. It's not really that hard, but you know 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.920 you mentioned in today's cars with the electronics in there. 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.240 My son called his car. 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.040 Wouldn't started as a hybrid and he was worded, was 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:17.240 a big battery, and'm like, now there's that. 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.400 That's a separate thing. Entirely. Get a new bet. 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.640 He did, and his friend had one too, and her 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.480 car died and uh, you know she has a Honda 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.880 and she put the battery and called back and said, 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.000 all the warning lights are on. I have no idea 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.360 what to do. Like, well, each car is a little 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.360 bit different. That is more about the computer, right, that's 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.000 learning that there's a new battery in there and processing 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.320 and eventually it will take care of itself. But it's 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.640 not really a daunting test getting the battery exchanging because 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:43.440 you get a you know, your deposit back. It's called 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.400 a core exchange. You get ten bucks or whatever it 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.280 is when you bring that a return that it's a 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.039 little more work if you want to get your hands dirty, 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:50.320 if you can find a battery and know I do 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:51.040 it on my cars. 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.000 It's just an easy thing for me to do. 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.080 But I could see where you're you know, you know, 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.119 maybe taking to someone like yourself to get that done. 0:05:58.160 --> 0:05:59.679 So each car is a little bit different. 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.680 There's some nuances, so it's not just like the old 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.080 days where you plug a battery in and go. You 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.400 mentioned you do computer control batteries. There's a little bit 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.560 more thing, little wonky things it could go on when 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:09.120 you replace it. 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.400 Yes, correct, absolutely, And that's the thing again when I'm 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.719 going back to the electronics. But you know your car. 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.640 You know a car back in the eighties that you 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.279 had one computer that ran everything right. Nowadays, all these 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.800 newer cars have eighteen to twenty to thirty different modules 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:30.640 and computers. And when a battery dies or has low voltage. Yes, 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:34.280 the car will sit there and the car will go, oh, 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.039 we have low voltage and we're not getting a proper voltage. 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.479 So yeah, your airbag light comes on, your check engine 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.560 light comes on, you know, and that's all due to 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.720 the fact that the voltage of the battery is down 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.720 and those components are getting a proper volage. So yeah, 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:51.000 you do want to make sure that when you do it, 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:52.760 you do it properly, you do it correct. You know, 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.239 a lot of these vehicles, especially like you mentioned the hybrids, 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:59.680 you know, Prius their twelve volt battery is in the trunk. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.240 The battery is completely dead. Well none of the electronics work, 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.960 so you have to literally crawl through the back seat 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.200 to get to this battery and it can It's it's 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.360 a daunting task sometimes and then everybody goes, well, you know, 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.040 I can't believe this battery is for you know, on 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.280 a on a newer camerie. You know, they're they're about 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.600 six hundred and fifty dollars to replace the battery and 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.400 simply because of where they're located and in the cost 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.320 of them, and it's a dry it's a dry. So 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:31.080 the Mercedes SUVs, the batteries underneath the passenger side seat. 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.880 You have to remove the passenger side seat in order 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:39.200 to replace the battery on a Mercedes Suv. Not all SUVs, 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:45.760 but some of them who engineered to remove a whole 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:47.080 entire seat just to put a. 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.280 Battery like it's not like something that doesn't need to 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.080 bring you know, feel pumps last a good long time 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:52.680 these days, see that. But now you got to pull 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.920 the seat out to do something that's fairly routine maintenance. Anyway, 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.240 every every two to three years, he's stayed Donovan from 0:07:58.240 --> 0:07:59.960 the car show on fifty five KR. See wee can. 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.120 It's also with Donovan's Tyronado on Ridge and Blue Ash. 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.920 Coldest stretch of the year or so far right here 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.080 in Cincinnati with some snow getting dumped tomorrow. So we're 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.560 talking about everyone's car dying right now. What you can 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.520 do real quick on the battery because I don't want 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:13.680 to dwell, and this is a couple other things I 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.800 want to mention, But what about those you know it 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.360 needs to be you get the jumper cables out here 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.040 in Fear people are doing that. They have those little 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.600 battery packs that you can charge up, leave it your 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.240 glub box if you need you recommend. 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:33.320 Those absolutely absolutely. I see far less damage to other 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:37.120 vehicles when we have the jump packs. The jump packs 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.079 are you know, they're they're reliable. You can get them 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.280 as little as probably about fifty bucks. You can get 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.680 them online, have them delivered to your house. Far less 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.440 damage do we see. So many people will put the 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:53.520 jump the jumper cables on incorrectly and not only do 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.360 they break their core, but then whoever's jumping them they 0:08:56.360 --> 0:09:00.040 break their car as well. Just had it happen a 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.840 couple of weeks ago, friend of mindset, I am you 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:07.320 know so, yes, jumper cables are a thing of the past. 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.720 I highly recommend the jumper packs now. We have we 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.000 have three of them here at just at my Ridge 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:18.560 location and we use them every single day, and I 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.840 highly recommend them now. Now, the one that we use 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:25.040 is it's a little bit more commercial industrial, but I 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.120 mean it's you know, it's expensive. It's like about two 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.040 hundred bucks. But I'm telling you they're worth their weight 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.640 and gold, and far less damage comes from the jump 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.600 packs than using jumper cases. 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.360 It's got to remember to charge them every once in 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.480 a while. That's the key, right, there you caking charge 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.679 to the irregular battery too in the car, and it's 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:46.320 always ready to go. Yeah, that's that's and it's also 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.160 idiot proof. It tells you know what lights are on 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.559 the whole thing. It checks itself. You can't screw that up. 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:54.120 Unlike jumper cables. You do it wrong. And because cars 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.000 are computers now, of course you can really cast some serious, 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.520 serious monetary damage to your vehicle. Yeah, you don't want 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.520 to do that. Another thing too, People forget this because 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.079 we talk about tires and mechanical issues and stuff, and 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.160 it's really really cold weather lubrication. And I try to 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.480 make this a habit every fall when I'm I don't know, 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:12.520 I think of it. And that is get a little 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.079 W forty whatever put on our rag and do all 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.320 the door seals around where you close your passenger, especially 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.319 driver's side door, because you get a little water and 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.240 there and the moisture the rubber gets old, it could 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.840 cause your door to stick. Also a little bit of 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:29.240 a lubrication, special graphite loobes and stuff for your door 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.320 lock if you've still got a key door locked, but 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.719 also your your hood hinges and the hood latch too. 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.280 My son I mentioned who battery died. He also couldn't 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.400 get his hood open because it was frozen. Said, well, 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.120 you gotta, you gotta. What do you recommend? What types 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.240 of lubricants do you recommend for that? And how is 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:46.840 that really? 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:51.000 I mean, yeah, it's a great question. Really. The best 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:54.560 thing that you can do is is WD forty. You 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.000 can use it on your door seals, right, you just 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:58.880 get it, put it on a rag, wipe it on 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.240 all your door seals. You can spray it in your 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.080 door locks a lot of times, you know, we have 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.160 we have that. You know that we always go to 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.599 our key fob in order to unlock it, and that 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.280 there's an actua or that unlocked it. But the actual 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.440 the actual lock itself never gets used, so it gets frozen, 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:20.160 it gets eased up. So you literally can spray w 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:24.760 D forty in there and uh, and then on your 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.360 hinges and on your hood latch and your trunk latches 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.760 those are still you know, so literally one can can 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:36.040 prevent a lot of damage and to your vehicle. And 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.400 it's just one. And then you know, for those who 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:42.320 maybe don't have a can or just need something. If 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.760 most people in our kitchens have some pam, get a 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.640 little bit of pan, put it on the door seals. 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.160 You know, I wouldn't recommend it for door seal or 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.160 for latches, but I mean even you know, but but 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.439 so many times we see people, you know, they roll 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.520 out that window down to get their morning cup of 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.559 coffee or their loans or bread this, and they and 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:05.600 that that that peel itself is frozen and it breaks 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:10.160 the the you know, the window regulator or the motor. Yeah, 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.320 and this time of year as well. Wiper arms, wiper blade. 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.760 It's something that's so simple, but we don't talk about 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.480 it enough. And you know, you you a lot of times, 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.360 you know, the night before right using them, we shut 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.080 the car off. We don't think about it, right, and 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:24.880 then the next morning you go to start the car 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:28.920 up and boom they're on and you snap the wiper 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.560 transmission and it can cost your long mind. So you know, 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.040 if you're if you're in the habit of just shutting 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.320 your car off, then just leave the wiper arms up 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.040 in the morning, right. You know, That's something that can 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.720 save you a lot of headache, you know, because if 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:46.480 your wipers break, especially when you've got the salt dew 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.600 on the on the windshield. You've got you've got that sun. 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:55.040 I know we haven't seen the sun in months, you know, 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.839 but that's something that you can do too. Leave those 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.880 wiper arms up. It's gonna save you a tremendous amount 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.200 of money and headache, if you know. But I always 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.880 tell everybody turn your wipers off before you shut the 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:12.040 car off. And again I'm guilty of it myself. You know. 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.800 It's always forget that, right yeah, and their auto too, 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:16.839 so you really forgot me. It's not like the old 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.120 wady switch stuff. You know, tomorrow case you make. It's 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.199 better the old days. We could just get jumper cables 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:26.040 and slip your battery out, turn your white pers on manually. 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.280 It's like, uh, I'm going back, going Wow, maybe maybe 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:30.440 it was simpler back in the day. 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.240 I guess, well, yeah, I mean, you know, back when 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.960 I started in this business twenty six years ago, we 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.400 had cars, you know, back and fall. You know, we 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.640 had people bringing their cars in because they want them 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.440 winner rized. We don't win a rize cars anymore because 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.360 these cars are are designed to go much longer and 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.000 and things like that. But we always think about we 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:52.880 always forget about the simple things, the batteries, the tire pressure. 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.680 You know that, you know you're going to spend more money, 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:59.640 you're gonna wear your tires out earlier, wear them out 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.480 and and uh, you know, simply because of the fact 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.280 that they're not properly inflated. So you want to make sure. 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:09.520 And again, uh you know, every for every ten degrees 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:13.400 that the ambient temperature drops, you lose one pound of air. Right, 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.360 So when we're down into the zero digits, that tire 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.280 light is on for a reason, that's because one or 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.680 multiple tires are under inflated. 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:22.000 Right. 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.720 I think my wife calls me about every other week 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.240 to let you know that her tire light's on. 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:26.960 Uh. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.120 Yeah, so you know, and I see so many people 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.960 you know, at that at that pump spending a dollar 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.080 fifty you put air in their tires. You know, at 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.440 all of our locations, we'll check your tire pressure and 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.480 check your tires for free. You come by, we'll check 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.840 your air pressure. And but it's something I mean, tires 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:50.880 are expensive, as you know, and if you want to 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.040 prolong the life of your tire, make sure they're properly 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.520 inflated in these temperatures. Make sure you check your battery regularly, 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.360 and uh, you know, get a can of WD forty 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.080 and it will save you a tremendous amount of money 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.080 in these in these uh cold, frigid times. 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:06.920 Now, there is an old wives tale daned out of 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:08.560 it and it said, you know the winter, if you 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.920 get snow like we're going to have tomorrow, you take 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.960 a little bit of air out, makes the tire softer, 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:14.760 puts more tread on the ground. And of course in 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.880 the summer months when it's hotter, if you overinflate them slightly, 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.560 it creates less resistance on the road, it saves you money. 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.400 Is that actually do you of those things? Is that 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:24.040 a good idea? 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.560 No? I no, I don't believe so. I think I think, 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.200 you know, again, going back to the eighties and nineties, 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.880 when we had real wheel drive vehicles and you know, 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:41.960 you put on your snow tires, that's probably relevant. But 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.520 in today's vehicles most of them are all wheel drive. 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.320 You've got all wheel you have all seasoned tires. They're 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:53.360 designed to to deal with these types of you know, 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.880 snows and temperatures and whatnot. So now I don't, uh, 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.480 you know, I I don't think it's of it. In 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:05.080 today's vehicles. I mean you can do that, but you know, 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:10.000 again with the the frigid temperatures, you don't want to 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.640 really underinflate these tires because again you're going to prematurely 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.560 wear them down, you know, and instead of tire sometimes 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.840 can be a thousand to two thousand dollars. Most people 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.120 really don't like, you know, sometimes I use the reference 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.480 I'm kind of like a kind of like a dentist, right, 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.360 you don't want to go to your dentist, but it's 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.280 something that you just have to do, and you know, so, yeah, 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:31.960 we just. 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.080 Cheaper cheaper than waiting, right, I mean, if you wait 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:37.920 long enough, it's going to be a much more expensive 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.320 repair rather than go and get in that oil. Change 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.360 in fluids checked and all that stuff as well, and 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.480 correct yeah, and making sure you have washer fluid, like 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.080 I always checked my wife's washer fluid. And shouldn't you 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.560 just I mean they have the the really well the 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.880 sub zero stuff, I think the orange stuff that's good 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:54.760 to like twenty below or something like that. 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.760 Shouldn't you just could you use that year round? 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.400 Absolutely? Yeah, absolutely, you can use it year round and 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.920 a lot of a lot of times, you know, there are, 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.520 especially in our area there are there is a stummer 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.879 blend and kind of a winter blend of washer foods. 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:12.800 So a lot of times people we get a lot 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.679 of people that come in and say, hey, my my 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:18.000 washer food's broken, my washer pump's broken, it's not working. Well, 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.879 it's not broken, it's frozen because the fluid. So you know, 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:26.200 we always make a we make that change over in 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:31.040 in uh, you know, midsummer to the winter blend the 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.359 other thing that you could do. And I love the product, 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.760 and I'm of course not endorsed bying by any means, 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.360 but there there's a product that go out there called 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:43.360 rain X. Yeah, and it helps, uh, you know, beat 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.399 the water off your windshield and also has washer flood 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.560 in it and it's and it's so you really get 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.600 you get a great product that you know, you prevent 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:55.920 uh a lot of times the rain as you don't 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:57.960 even have to turn your wipers on when it's raining 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.800 because it just beads up and and and then it's 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.040 for deep freezing, so it's not going to freeze on you. 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.320 And you know you kind of come to one stone. 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:07.280 To use that stuff. 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.080 Back in the day, Dan and I just got old 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.160 and lazy, I think, and I haven't used that in years, 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:12.400 but well. 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:13.879 Now they put it in. They put it in a 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:19.240 one gallon jug. Gotta put it in Washington, Okay, I 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:20.440 don't have to apply anything. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.000 You rub it out and polish it off and then 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.600 rub it a second, got on for you know, a 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:28.199 month or whatever, and now it's all right. 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:29.240 Sounds in the fluid. 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:32.120 Guy gallon joke.

So you got a hard start. 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:38.679 Make sure you got one of those battery back up 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:40.720 very charged, because uh, you know, these things can go 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:42.880 rather quickly, especially with this deep cold we're in right now. 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:44.640 Hopefully it won't last much longer. 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:46.320 The week Dan don have been from the car show 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:49.080 fifty five k see weekends and of course over at 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:50.960 Ridge and in Blue Ashes, all the two locations. 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:52.520 Thanks again, brother, I appreciate. 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:53.560 You, Thank you very much. 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.800 All the best.

Anyway, let's get a news update 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.960 in and speaking of cold weather, that we're in right now, 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:09.000 we'll get a little nostalgic. Next, something you probably and 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:12.119 it has to do with vehicles, something you probably haven't 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:14.160 heard in I don't know twenty or thirty years. 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:19.480 Next lonly seven hundred W. All right, welcome to it. 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:23.040 Back to the grind Scott's Loan Show on seven hundred 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:26.399 w WELW lotsa cover today. Seth Walsh is your council 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.679 member if you live in Cincinnati, you know, with all 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:31.920 the snow and more snow expected tomorrow, wants to force 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:33.560 residents to shovel their sidewalks. 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:34.119 How do you do that? 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.520 Well, we'll talk to cols member Walsh about that at 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.760 ten oh seven here on the show on seven hundred WLW. 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.920 Later on, Jeff Carr locked on Red's a Jueno Suarez 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:46.120 back in the Red's uniform middle lineup will pop there 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:48.800 with his forty nine homers last year? Does it put 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:50.399 the Reds over the top? So lots of questions to 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:53.600 be answered this morning in full of the Tail. One 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:55.760 of those questions to be answered MOMENTAI I just had 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:58.840 Dale Dane as Dell's dad, but Dane donevan on from 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.080 fifty five care He's the car Show and from Doance 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:05.360 Donoman's Tirron Auto about all the dead batteries of which 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:07.800 there's no shortage and if you have a hard time 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:12.200 starting your car truck these days, the average life is 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:15.080 two to four years on battery in Cincinnati. So if 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.160 you fall, if you can't remember last time, probably need 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:21.359 to have that checked, especially if it's a hard start. 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.240 If you can't start at all, then you got real problems, 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:26.320 right there, real problems. But we often we were at 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:28.400 the battery more than this that we used to worry 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.480 about from years and years and years ago, something you 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:33.879 probably haven't heard in a good thirty plus years. 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:40.199 Anytimes it gets as cold as this love playing that 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:41.960 so cheesy, but it's still good. 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:45.320 That is when we call the radio business kids a sounder, 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:46.560 the Ohio sounder. 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:47.520 Anytime you get. 0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:51.000 Below freezing, the weather's forecast would be sponsored and need 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:54.159 to play that under the forecast because as you may recall, 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:59.160 you go or Sohio pays the toll the toe rather 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:01.720 the toe that that the toll the toe you go 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:05.679 or Sohio pays the toll, And used to be a 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:07.640 thing that your fuel line would freeze up. Fuel line 0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:10.040 freeze up. There's no joke back in the day, and 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:11.520 you don't hear about that anymore, and you don't have 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:15.080 to play that old school sounder as we call it. 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:18.359 And that is simply because modern cars really don't have 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:21.200 that problem anymore. A couple of reasons of why down 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:23.000 you don't. You can start to worry about the battery. 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:25.199 There's no easy way to run a dead battery. But 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:27.399 as far as fuel line freeze up goes, it was 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:30.639 actually a thing. A number of reasons is because you 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:32.680 and you think about it, well, gasoline, doesn't you know 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:36.120 I have gas gas in my garage for my you know, snowblower, 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:38.359 my lawn mover. It might be that's not frozen because 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.160 I think, you know, petroleum is good to like forty 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:43.040 to fifty below something like that, which is certainly a 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:44.320 lot colder than we're getting it. 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:48.600 So we don't see that. But the problem, the problems 0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:54.040 back in the day is science. So back then ice 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:57.920 crystals from water would get into the fuel supply and 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:01.040 then in the fuel lines, and then you know, when 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:05.240 you had less typically less gasoline in your tank, you'd 0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:07.280 have more percentage of water and the waters would freeze 0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:09.440 cause the problems, which is why today and it's still true, 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:11.760 is to make sure that you keep that gas can 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:12.680 topped off. Two things. 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:14.960 It gives you weight in the back, which is crue crucial, 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:17.800 but all the impurities and stuff could cause some issues 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:19.520 with your fuel pump and everything else. So you want 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:21.280 to make sure you have a full tank of gas 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:23.560 when the weather's just cold. It says, oh, reasonably close 0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:25.879 more than half is what they say. So back then 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:29.399 you get low and that stuff would freeze up. And 0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:32.800 we just don't see this more because refineries are better 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:36.840 at producing fuel with fewer impurities. Again, the science got better. 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:40.119 We also have more pipelines stuff, and that tends to 0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:41.639 add to it as well, believe it or not, So 0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:44.840 another you know, thumb up for pipelines and getting the 0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:46.560 fuel to where it needs to be the spital of 0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:50.960 the protests. You also had the fact that we we 0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:52.639 I don't know how long ago we started doing this. 0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:54.919 But you know, your reason the press gas goes up 0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:57.680 in the fall and in the spring is because they 0:22:57.720 --> 0:22:59.440 start to switch blends, so you have the summer and 0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:02.119 you have the winter, which is part of this too, 0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:05.240 but mainly it's because back in the day you had 0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:08.000 a carburetor in your car, and those who are more 0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:11.359 vulnerable to a fuelie freezing. So with fuel injection you 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:14.200 get better pressure, better flow, and less ice as a 0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:16.880 result of that too, although if you have diesel, that's 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:18.959 a whole different thing because there's paraffin wax in there 0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:21.840 that gels up and that causes a problem. But frozen 0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:23.920 gasoline is extremely rare, so that's why you don't hear 0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:26.440 that noise anymore. There you go and if you're young, 0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:29.639 going what the hell is that? And now you know 0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:31.520 something you don't have to. Yeah, we'll worry about a 0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:33.200 whole bunch of different stuff we didn't have to back 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:35.240 in the day. And so it goes, and so it goes. 0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:37.920 But thanks to Dane for popping on this morning talks 0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:41.560 about this. One of the things that was speculated with 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:45.240 the snow and the deep freeze it continues, is on 0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:48.680 this date in nineteen seventy seven, speaking going the way back, 0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:50.879 I feel like I'm doing like a I don't know, 0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:53.160 a retrospective this morning. You're in the first few minutes 0:23:53.200 --> 0:23:56.159 of the show. Generally I don't wax that poetic about history, 0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:57.720 but I do enjoy history. 0:23:57.760 --> 0:23:58.040 I don't. 0:23:58.040 --> 0:23:59.680 Living in the past is different than just kind of 0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:02.760 mention it it. But in nineteen seventy seven, we had 0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:05.520 the Ohio River freeze over and a number of people 0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:08.040 who may still be around walked on the Ohio River. 0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:12.440 I don't know when it froze before that, because we 0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:14.879 tend to look at it. But are we going to 0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:17.080 have a circumstance coming up in the next few days 0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:19.640 where you can actually walk out across the Ohio River 0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:22.960 And the answer is probably not for two reasons. The 0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:26.840 first reason is back in seventy seven, we had fifty 0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:30.320 eight consecutive hours I said fifty eight hours without the 0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:36.560 temperature getting above zero, not freezing zero. That means fifty 0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:40.879 eight straight hours of temperatures that were sub zero in 0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:43.879 a stretch where it was actually actual temperature was not 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:47.000 the wind chill, not the fields like not the fields 0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:51.159 twenty five below zero, it's the actual temperature, and in 0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:54.000 places you had ice at least a foot thick. We 0:24:54.119 --> 0:25:00.200 had three consecutive weeks of snow on the ground. Last 0:25:00.240 --> 0:25:02.720 ward to twenty twenty six, we've had what a week 0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:06.320 of snow down and a week of freezing tempts with 0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:08.240 you know, we're starting a second week here, so we 0:25:08.320 --> 0:25:10.359 got a long long way to go, and it doesn't 0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:12.359 look like it because a week from now it's gonna 0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:14.520 looks like it's gonna be in the forties. So we 0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:17.240 will not have that deep, deep, deep freeze necessary to 0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:19.639 freeze the Ohio River. Now, maybe in the edges for sure, 0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:22.800 not out in the middle. And I think I said 0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:24.160 there are two things, so this is where we've never 0:25:24.200 --> 0:25:27.680 seen this again. It could be sub zero from month. 0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:32.359 We could get a forecast. Who knows February is still young, right, 0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:35.600 We're on the second day. And that fat bastard Phil 0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:37.800 I guess he saw a show we get six more 0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:40.440 weeks of winter. So if you care about that, more 0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:44.080 on that in just a second, and I look at it, 0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:46.200 go okay. The big reason is, can you imagine this 0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:48.640 day and age when we are worried so much about 0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:52.159 children and safety and all the hand ringing and thinking, 0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:54.399 these are more dangerous times than it was in the past. 0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:57.560 I would say, check yourself, because we could have a 0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:00.760 month of subzero temperatures and they said the Ohio River 0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:04.080 could freeze all the way down to the bed and 0:26:04.119 --> 0:26:06.280 there would still be don't go out on the eye, 0:26:06.320 --> 0:26:09.159 don't because it's dangerous out there, and you'd probably have 0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:12.080 armed guards. Ice would be protecting us from ice. They 0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:15.560 wouldn't be protecting us from from immigrants, legal immigrants. They'd 0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:17.119 be protecting the ice would be here to protect us 0:26:17.119 --> 0:26:19.680 from ice. They'd have soldiers lined up on the Ohio 0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:22.800 River at gunpoint to shoot anyone who dares walk out 0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:25.280 in the earth because it's two quote unquote too dangerous. 0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:28.520 Now back then, people and we have, by the way, 0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:32.719 a lot better technology now when it comes to, you know, 0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:35.879 protecting yourself from the cold, and back then it was like, 0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:37.639 I don't know, you were like a wool hat and 0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:40.439 some wool gloves. Today we've got cortex, We've got different 0:26:40.480 --> 0:26:43.360 layers and fabrics and heated jackets and everything else. 0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:44.320 We're good. We're good. 0:26:44.680 --> 0:26:44.840 Now. 0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:47.040 You fall through the ice, unless you have one of 0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:50.600 those specialized suits on, you're not gonna make it. But 0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:52.639 my point is, we just we live in fear all 0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:56.359 the time. Now, there's no way in hell that they 0:26:56.359 --> 0:26:59.080 wouldn't anybody be allowed on the Ohio River. I don't 0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:02.119 care if it's cold for a half a year. It 0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:04.439 just we don't live in those times anymore. Now you 0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:06.760 may want to you know, who's gonna stop me? Yeah, 0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:09.040 you'd be surprised. Somebody would call the police and you'd 0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:12.120 be out there with a arresting you for a publican 0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:14.400 d terrorizing fish. I don't know what it would be 0:27:15.200 --> 0:27:22.360 walking on water, frozen water. Nonetheless, Groundhog Day is here. 0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:25.320 The Big Man saw his shadow or didn't say. I 0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:27.520 always forget how it works. It's just a stupid ritual. 0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:29.879 But you know it's winter when you see punk Sa 0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:32.000 Tawny Phil getting yanked out of a hole in the 0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:35.000 middle of winter in Pennsylvania, and we have six more 0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:37.359 weeks in winter. Now, if you don't like that message, 0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:39.320 the good news is we have a conflicting work. We're 0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:41.720 kind of like meteorologists. The other rat came out of 0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:45.160 the hole, and this would be a Buckeye Chuck, Buckeye 0:27:45.200 --> 0:27:49.560 Chuck Ingram do some of the AI Chuck Ingram's voices. 0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:52.240 The voice of Buckeye Chuck would be fantastic anyway. Buckeye 0:27:52.280 --> 0:27:56.080 Chuck says, no, we're gonna have an early spring. So 0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:58.920 whatever roadent you want to believe, or Marrimount or whatever 0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:02.800 they are, you want to believe, there's your answer. 0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:03.919 Now. 0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:06.480 I bring this up because I don't I often I 0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:08.480 don't think about Groundhog Day. I knew I saw it 0:28:08.480 --> 0:28:13.520 on the counter, and okay, I don't really care. But 0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:17.440 I did have a weird dream on a Saturday. I 0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:19.040 must have been there. Maybe it was Friday. It doesn't 0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:21.800 matter weird until you ever have this dream. So I 0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:24.239 had this dream and I thought it was kind of 0:28:24.320 --> 0:28:28.000 like in Groundhog Day with Bill Murray, except stuff wasn't 0:28:28.000 --> 0:28:29.840 happening all the time. I think Bill Murray might have 0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:32.760 been in the dream. I'm not sure I should have 0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:34.840 woke up and wrote it down, but I vividly remember. 0:28:35.520 --> 0:28:36.800 And I don't know if you've ever had this dream 0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:39.920 or not. Is the guy he's got the top had on. 0:28:40.080 --> 0:28:44.200 He pulls Phil out of the ground you know, he's 0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:45.640 got the you know, a little fat road, and he 0:28:45.640 --> 0:28:48.120 doesn't look too scared, too worried about it. He's a man. 0:28:48.160 --> 0:28:49.880 It's been a year ready. The only time they mess 0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:51.640 with me is I don't know why. It's got to 0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:54.200 be in February. But ground had no idea what's going on. 0:28:54.880 --> 0:28:58.240 And he pulled the groundhog out, and all of a sudden, 0:28:58.280 --> 0:29:00.600 it's like and I saw it in person, but then 0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:05.200 I saw somehow the replay on TV, and all of 0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:07.560 a sudden, the guy's holding Phil up over his head 0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:09.680 so you can see that he didn't see. He whispers, 0:29:09.680 --> 0:29:12.920 I didn't see my shadow. And as he's holding him up, 0:29:14.280 --> 0:29:18.160 the same guy who tried to kill Trump shoots the groundhog, 0:29:20.840 --> 0:29:24.400 and the groundhog literally takes the round center mass. And 0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:27.800 this guy is standing there and they're like chunks of 0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:29.040 groundhog and blood. 0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:30.760 I should laugh. 0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:33.360 Groundhog and blood all over his face, all over his 0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:35.160 top hat, it's all over the people in the crowd. 0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:38.640 People are ducking for cover. Police officers are running and 0:29:38.680 --> 0:29:41.080 rushing to tey. And it was actually in of all things, 0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:44.000 in Punk Satanni, Pennsylvania. It was from the third flour 0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:46.720 of the school Book Depository, which is not in Pennsylvania. 0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:50.440 It's in Texas. But it was a guy who tried 0:29:50.480 --> 0:29:54.320 to kill Trump, who shot the groundhog and just eviscerated 0:29:54.360 --> 0:29:56.440 this guy. I mean he was standing there holding them, 0:29:56.480 --> 0:29:58.920 not to get too graphic, standing there holding the groundhog, 0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:02.440 holding the groundhog head, and the rest of the body 0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:05.800 was completely gone. And he stood there for what looked 0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:08.440 like a good four or five seconds before he realized 0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:10.360 it was a shock of the whole thing crazy? 0:30:10.440 --> 0:30:10.640 Right? 0:30:11.160 --> 0:30:13.360 What the hell was I eating before? Was I thinking? 0:30:13.360 --> 0:30:13.960 Before bed? 0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:17.800 I'm watching Punk Satani Phil get murdered on live television. 0:30:17.800 --> 0:30:20.680 I was there, and I think, as I now that 0:30:20.680 --> 0:30:22.160 I think about it again, I think I would had 0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:25.360 like somehow the power to stop it, kind of like this, 0:30:25.560 --> 0:30:27.560 And because I read a Stephen King book not long 0:30:27.600 --> 0:30:32.920 ago about eleven what eleven twenty two sixty three about 0:30:32.920 --> 0:30:35.360 the assassination John Kennedy go back in time and can 0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:37.200 stop that? And it was really interesting book. I thought 0:30:37.200 --> 0:30:40.640 it was kind of funny, the treatment of it. But 0:30:40.720 --> 0:30:42.280 I think all those things came together. I don't know 0:30:42.320 --> 0:30:45.400 why it was assassination. Why would I dream that Punk 0:30:45.440 --> 0:30:49.840 Satani Phil would be assassinated? Maybe it's indicative of the 0:30:49.880 --> 0:30:51.120 crazy times in which we live. 0:30:51.240 --> 0:30:51.719 I don't know. 0:30:52.760 --> 0:30:54.680 But it was kind of weird. But at the same 0:30:54.720 --> 0:30:58.640 time it's a little bit a little bit funny. Well, 0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:00.000 wait to get to do now for the next Well, 0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:02.040 we know it's a different groundhog every year. Probably, I 0:31:02.040 --> 0:31:04.920 don't know what the shelf life grab it Rodan is 0:31:04.920 --> 0:31:07.240 in that regard, it's probably a different it's a stunt guy. 0:31:07.240 --> 0:31:09.880 They just keep rolling out of new because yeah, we're 0:31:09.880 --> 0:31:12.040 all racist. All those groundhogs look alike to us. I 0:31:12.040 --> 0:31:13.520 I know it could be a it's a different guy 0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:15.520 every year, pick a different fill out of the hole. 0:31:15.920 --> 0:31:18.840 But this guy, man, if he had nine lives, you 0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:21.840 just used all of them. Clark, it's a Scott Flune 0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:24.120 show on seven hundred WLW. If you have not seen 0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:27.000 the images yet from the what was it the sixty 0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:31.000 eighth Annual Grammy Awards last night, I don't watch these things. 0:31:31.040 --> 0:31:32.520 I don't, but it's. 0:31:32.360 --> 0:31:34.440 The same, and it is literally you could go back 0:31:34.480 --> 0:31:37.360 to when you were younger, when you would pay attention 0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:41.560 to the artists and who all they were and large 0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:43.280 the same things about you know, a number of things 0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:45.400 are going to happen. There's going to be the hot 0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:47.320 couple of the day. There's going to be a big 0:31:47.320 --> 0:31:51.440 surprise winner. There's going to be somebody who says something 0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:54.680 controversial or in protest, and they did that about Ice. 0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:59.000 You have someone who kind of like, oh wow, that's them, 0:31:59.200 --> 0:32:01.080 and that would have been the lighter jelly Roll if 0:32:01.120 --> 0:32:02.480 you haven't seen him, he lost a ton of weight. 0:32:02.920 --> 0:32:04.920 And of course the big thing was the fashion, And 0:32:04.960 --> 0:32:08.680 the one that stole the show with fashion was Chapelome 0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:11.680 who had a dress on and if you see the images, 0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:18.280 you how do you describe it? So she's got a 0:32:18.280 --> 0:32:20.480 low cut it's not even a low cut dress. The 0:32:20.560 --> 0:32:24.400 dress starts actually below where her breasts are and her 0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:27.240 the dress is being held up by nipple clamps, so 0:32:27.320 --> 0:32:30.200 the clamps go to her nipples which are covered up, 0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:34.480 and then the dress itself starts well below where the 0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:38.760 bottom where the underboob is, and those things are out 0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:41.120 there and they're getting all the air they can take. 0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:44.440 Let's put it that way. But man, that looked You're 0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:45.840 sitting there for how many hours. 0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:49.240 With with with battery jumpstart cables on your nipples holding 0:32:49.240 --> 0:32:51.840 your dress up? And what are we doing here? If 0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:55.760 you thought that Joe Burrow backlist suit was weird, that's 0:32:55.880 --> 0:32:59.920 really weird, right. I mean, I'm not offended by it. 0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:04.800 I'm sure you're not offended unless I don't know, uh, 0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:08.840 but I look at it. It just I just don't understand fashion. 0:33:08.880 --> 0:33:11.200 I just don't get it. Am I supposed to get this? 0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:12.800 Are you supposed to get to? You sit there going 0:33:12.800 --> 0:33:16.640 wow that you know the back list suit coat, the nipple, clemps, 0:33:16.720 --> 0:33:19.680 the jumpstart cables on the what are we doing here? 0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:22.200 Like you're making a statement. Yeah, I get people are 0:33:22.200 --> 0:33:24.080 talking about you too, but it's not like you go wow, 0:33:24.160 --> 0:33:26.800 I can't wait to wear that one too. Yeah, I'm 0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:28.760 going to a wedding next weekend. I think I'm gonna try. 0:33:29.040 --> 0:33:31.920 I'm gonna bring that one out for you from the gallery. Like, 0:33:31.960 --> 0:33:34.360 I don't know, I just don't know what to make it. 0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:38.680 Kendrick Klamar won five awards, surpassing jay Z to become 0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:42.680 the most awarded rapper in Grammy history. And I believe 0:33:42.720 --> 0:33:46.400 that I love jay Z. Kendrick Klamar has lapped even 0:33:46.480 --> 0:33:49.560 jay Z and Bad Bunny got the Album of the Year, 0:33:49.600 --> 0:33:51.080 So that's going to add more fuel to the super 0:33:51.120 --> 0:33:53.920 Bowl performance. I'm sure for people who despise him for 0:33:53.960 --> 0:33:56.680 his political beliefs as it were, But you know the 0:33:56.760 --> 0:33:59.719 idea of just, you know, simply taking a celebrities wait 0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:01.600 and go, yeah, I gotta believe the same thing. Well, 0:34:02.000 --> 0:34:04.480 I don't know how many people are doing that. Actually, no, 0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:06.480 not sure why we listen to celebrities for their opinion. 0:34:06.520 --> 0:34:08.960 But nonetheless, I will say that speaking of which tomorrow 0:34:08.960 --> 0:34:14.480 in the show. I think eleven o seven. I'm sure 0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:18.760 you heard the song the new song by Dick Lache 0:34:18.800 --> 0:34:23.279 is the Bengals song want he released a song. I'll 0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:25.600 play this a little bit later where he's calling for 0:34:25.719 --> 0:34:28.080 the Brown family to sell the team, presumably to him. 0:34:28.080 --> 0:34:29.160 I don't know, but he's gonna be on the show 0:34:29.200 --> 0:34:32.000 with me tomorrow at eleven o seven to explain that. 0:34:32.640 --> 0:34:34.480 I'll catch up with him in a little bit. All right, 0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:37.480 So coming up in minutes here on seven hundred, of 0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:39.600 course news update. We've got weather moving in one to 0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:41.600 three I think is what they're saying. Could be more, possibly, 0:34:41.640 --> 0:34:43.960 who knows. And of course the deep freeze continue, so 0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:46.560 that on the way traffic. And when I returned, Seth 0:34:46.600 --> 0:34:48.400 Walsh is here speaking of the snow coming in. He 0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:52.279 wants a I don't know, an edict that is going 0:34:52.360 --> 0:34:54.680 to force you, if you live in Cincinnati, shovel your 0:34:54.760 --> 0:34:58.320 damn sidewalk. I don't know what the punishment would be 0:34:58.440 --> 0:35:00.560 for failure to comply, what that would look like, and 0:35:01.120 --> 0:35:02.919 who this actually applies to. We'll get to that next 0:35:03.040 --> 0:35:05.279 right afternoon Scott's Loan Monday morning, back at it on 0:35:05.320 --> 0:35:07.960 the Home of the Reds with Gino back in a 0:35:08.120 --> 0:35:11.120 red uniform. Is this the lift we need to put 0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:13.200 us over the top to beat the Dodgers. We'll find out. 0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:19.080 Scott's Loan seven hundred WW sincenat it's a Scott's Loan 0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:22.759 show on seven hundred WW. Just shooting a little straight 0:35:22.800 --> 0:35:25.319 with you this morth soap. We have all the snow 0:35:25.320 --> 0:35:26.959 in the ground. We got like twelve bunch of snow, 0:35:27.040 --> 0:35:30.040 not much of it if all has melted yet tonight. 0:35:30.480 --> 0:35:32.600 Since last tomorrow, we're going to get to one to 0:35:32.680 --> 0:35:35.480 two to three, maybe more, depending where you are, depends. 0:35:35.719 --> 0:35:39.040 We shall see temperatures remain cold, so more snow on 0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:42.080 top of the snow. Snow's not going anywhere, and city 0:35:42.120 --> 0:35:43.960 cruise does a great job clearing snow on the streets. 0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:46.080 There's still snow on the sidewalks that kids need to 0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:48.840 walk or wait for buses. And so a new ordnance 0:35:48.880 --> 0:35:50.800 would force property on us to clear the snow. So 0:35:51.120 --> 0:35:57.480 what we're saying is that your neighbor, your neighbor, Betty 0:35:57.640 --> 0:36:01.400 Lorrain or Margaret, whatever name is, she's got to go 0:36:01.600 --> 0:36:04.239 eighty years old. The city's going to force her out 0:36:04.280 --> 0:36:07.800 there at gunpoint to go shovel over twelve inches of snow. 0:36:08.880 --> 0:36:14.360 Absolutely heartless, heartless, it's unreal. Council Member Seth Walsh is 0:36:14.480 --> 0:36:17.440 proposing this, Seth, are you going to tell me that 0:36:17.480 --> 0:36:19.200 you're going to force somebody's gramma to go out and 0:36:19.239 --> 0:36:20.959 shovel sidewalks in this weather? 0:36:23.680 --> 0:36:23.719 No? 0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:28.120 No, no, Scott, I appreciate you leaving off with the 0:36:28.239 --> 0:36:32.520 drama there. Let's back it up to what's actually going 0:36:32.560 --> 0:36:35.600 on here. So the city actually already has on its 0:36:35.600 --> 0:36:39.800 books ordinances around shoveling the sidewalks, and one of the 0:36:39.880 --> 0:36:42.880 problems that we've discovered last year with the snow emergency 0:36:43.280 --> 0:36:46.040 is that we don't actually have any enforceable mechanisms to 0:36:46.239 --> 0:36:50.000 this right. And so whether you're dealing with your sidewalks 0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:52.000 by your house, whether you're in a business district, whether 0:36:52.000 --> 0:36:55.480 you're downtown, if you run into sidewalks that are covered 0:36:55.480 --> 0:36:58.879 in snow a week after the snowstorm, there's no way 0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:01.040 fee to report it, nobody whose job it is to 0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.240 maintain it and check in on it, and there's nobody 0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:05.160 who's there to make sure that we're actually doing this job. 0:37:05.440 --> 0:37:07.920 So what this motion asks is what does the administration need, 0:37:08.040 --> 0:37:10.560 much like we asked last year around the snowpop what 0:37:10.640 --> 0:37:11.960 does it need to be able to take the next 0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:14.640 step and actually make sure we're enforcing this appropriately and 0:37:14.719 --> 0:37:17.239 helping keep the city going. This isn't about going after 0:37:18.239 --> 0:37:21.320 you know, residential neighbors. This is about making sure that 0:37:21.400 --> 0:37:23.160 we all as a community are coming together and actually 0:37:23.160 --> 0:37:24.600 being able to take care of our sidewalks too. 0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:27.600 Okay, so this this would apply then primarily to the 0:37:27.920 --> 0:37:31.400 residential I'm sorry, the business district areas or places of business. 0:37:32.600 --> 0:37:36.680 Yeah, so it's all it's all Cincinnati, but I justicipate 0:37:36.719 --> 0:37:39.280 it's going to be primarily the business district areas. 0:37:39.360 --> 0:37:41.120 You know, we've seen a lot of complaints coming in. 0:37:41.960 --> 0:37:44.640 Downtown has had a number of complaints about you can 0:37:44.719 --> 0:37:47.520 tell who the properties owners are, who've cleared the sidewalks 0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:47.919 so you can. 0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:48.360 Tell who have it. 0:37:48.600 --> 0:37:50.520 We've also seen, you know, a lot of complaints around 0:37:50.520 --> 0:37:52.879 the city of Cincinnati, like owning property that we haven't 0:37:52.920 --> 0:37:55.759 cleared and then questionable property where you're like, is it 0:37:55.840 --> 0:37:57.800 the city, is it somebody else? And who needs to 0:37:57.800 --> 0:38:00.480 be responsible for it? One for example, of the bridge 0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:03.480 going from Clifton to Northside. What we need to be 0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:05.040 able to do is have a system in place to 0:38:05.080 --> 0:38:07.080 be able to get piece concerns and then make sure 0:38:07.120 --> 0:38:09.920 that we get them cleared. Whether that's there's some city mechanism, 0:38:10.040 --> 0:38:12.360 whether that's to hire in private contractors, whatever it is, 0:38:12.920 --> 0:38:14.560 that's a pretty big important Yeah. 0:38:14.840 --> 0:38:18.279 Yeah, I had our buddy on from ODOT last week 0:38:18.440 --> 0:38:21.040 and he said that, you know, sometimes you see a 0:38:21.120 --> 0:38:22.799 road plowed and then it'll not be plowed and then 0:38:22.800 --> 0:38:24.880 it'll be plowed again. Is like that has to do 0:38:24.960 --> 0:38:27.560 with jurisdiction, right, Like od Doubts in chart generally have highways, 0:38:27.640 --> 0:38:29.640 but then you have the county, then you have local 0:38:29.719 --> 0:38:34.040 municipalities cities like Cincinnati, villages, et cetera. And sometimes between 0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:36.960 all those enterprises, we're not quite sure who is responsible 0:38:36.960 --> 0:38:39.320 for that stretch. And normally, if it's an insure or 0:38:39.480 --> 0:38:41.080 typically we get injured to a snow, it is not 0:38:41.120 --> 0:38:43.440 a big deal. But when you're talking feet, different story. 0:38:45.080 --> 0:38:49.320 Yeah. Absolutely, And what we currently do not have is 0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:50.320 a mechanism scout. 0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:52.279 If you want to call and tell us that there's 0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:54.680 a sidewalk they need to get shoveled after a week, 0:38:55.280 --> 0:38:58.600 there's no mechanisms for that. And that's you know, I'll 0:38:58.600 --> 0:39:00.440 stop sort of thing of the problem because I don't 0:39:00.440 --> 0:39:01.839 think it's a problem on the scale of snow powt 0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:03.879 issue was last year, but it is the next step 0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:06.480 in this how do we appropriately handle snow as we're 0:39:06.520 --> 0:39:09.080 looking at you know, I'm seeing three to five inches tomorrow, 0:39:09.400 --> 0:39:11.359 that's a big deal. And you know, if you're if 0:39:11.400 --> 0:39:13.359 you're trying to walk to a business, if you're trying 0:39:13.400 --> 0:39:15.000 to walk to your car, if you're trying to get 0:39:15.000 --> 0:39:16.879 to your you know, take your dog for a walk, 0:39:17.640 --> 0:39:19.359 that's that is a big deal to be kind. 0:39:19.280 --> 0:39:21.080 Of going through these various grades and it becomes pretty 0:39:21.160 --> 0:39:21.879 unsafe for people. 0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:23.759 And so if we can't even get the reporting on it, 0:39:24.040 --> 0:39:25.480 how do we how do we take that next step 0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:26.560 actually solve this problem? 0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:28.320 Okay, so where do you extend this that stuffs? 0:39:28.360 --> 0:39:30.920 I mean, you mentioned real estate owners is the target, 0:39:31.000 --> 0:39:34.719 but are we talking about absentee landlords just commercial property only? 0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:37.719 What about like something like an apartment complex. Can you 0:39:37.800 --> 0:39:39.600 define who isn't who's doing their job? 0:39:40.680 --> 0:39:42.840 I mean, I think you can define it as pretty 0:39:42.880 --> 0:39:45.640 much a sidewalk that and this wouldn't yes anywhere that 0:39:45.760 --> 0:39:48.880 has a sidewalk that is not being shoveled, you know, 0:39:49.000 --> 0:39:52.479 several days to the week after the snowfall event. Whether 0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:54.759 that is a private property owner, whether that's the City 0:39:54.800 --> 0:39:57.640 of Cincinnati, whether that's Oda, we need to be having 0:39:57.680 --> 0:40:00.120 these standards to make sure gets taken care of. I 0:40:00.160 --> 0:40:02.080 think there's a lot of people that are rightfully frustrated 0:40:02.080 --> 0:40:05.600 that city society hasn't shoveled our own sidewalks, and right 0:40:05.680 --> 0:40:07.239 now we haven't even we don't even allow you to 0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:09.040 be able to tell us that that's the problems. So 0:40:09.520 --> 0:40:11.560 let's get that salved. Like, let's hold everybody to the 0:40:11.600 --> 0:40:14.279 same standard, because again, it's a safety issue, you know, 0:40:14.320 --> 0:40:17.120 it's it's about people trying to have people walk more, 0:40:17.320 --> 0:40:19.880 have more pedestrian safety. You got to have the sidewalks. 0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:22.120 You see people walking in the streets because they can't 0:40:22.120 --> 0:40:24.719 access the sidewalks. That becomes dangerous for everybody, from the 0:40:24.760 --> 0:40:27.360 people who are walking to the motorists. It's just not 0:40:27.480 --> 0:40:28.240 a safe environment. 0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:30.640 Okay, I mentioned kind of tongue in cheeks sath Wall 0:40:30.840 --> 0:40:33.000 jokingly about senior sitting You know, eighty year old Betty, 0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:35.080 you're next door neighbor. She's not going out and shovel 0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:39.239 But if you can't physically shovel, and how do you 0:40:39.280 --> 0:40:43.200 differentiate when that in a proper dinner. Who's neglecting their responsibility? 0:40:43.200 --> 0:40:43.880 How do you verify this? 0:40:44.960 --> 0:40:47.160 Well, that's part of what we're asking in the emotion 0:40:47.280 --> 0:40:49.279 here is what does the city administration need to be 0:40:49.320 --> 0:40:52.520 able to run an effective program? And much like if 0:40:52.600 --> 0:40:56.120 your sidewalk gets destroyed by tree roots and is lifting up, 0:40:56.160 --> 0:40:57.200 you know, a couple of inches and you have to 0:40:57.239 --> 0:40:59.160 have it taken out, there are systems in place where 0:40:59.200 --> 0:41:01.359 you can get a replaced yourself, where the city brings 0:41:01.360 --> 0:41:03.600 in contractors to be to take care of and then 0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:05.719 there are ways to get creative about it to solve 0:41:05.760 --> 0:41:08.000 it where you're not putting the burden on your eighty 0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:10.200 five year old neighbor, but we are solving the problem 0:41:10.239 --> 0:41:14.880 which off the sidewalks and make these passable straight you know, 0:41:15.160 --> 0:41:15.920 say sidewalks. 0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:18.080 Okay, Well, in the case of the eight year old neighbor, 0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:20.480 so who paid? Does a taxpayer pay for that? Or 0:41:20.560 --> 0:41:21.600 do you have to build? Do you build? 0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:22.399 The property owner? 0:41:23.640 --> 0:41:25.360 Well, I think that's something that the administration needs to 0:41:25.360 --> 0:41:26.799 come back to tell us, you know, what the costs 0:41:26.800 --> 0:41:29.040 would be on that. Uh, you know if if it's 0:41:29.120 --> 0:41:31.000 in the obscene costs, I'm sure there's a way we 0:41:31.040 --> 0:41:33.160 can work that out. And at the same time you 0:41:33.600 --> 0:41:35.840 have contractors that are out there being able to do 0:41:35.960 --> 0:41:38.200 this because we have to take care of the city's property. 0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:40.480 At the same time, you know we can figure that 0:41:40.560 --> 0:41:43.280 out as well. Right now, we're at the information gathering stage. 0:41:43.880 --> 0:41:45.879 Last year we were so worried about the roads high 0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:48.120 gaining cloud. This year we have had such a great 0:41:48.160 --> 0:41:50.680 success as the roads getting cloud the system worked. Now 0:41:50.719 --> 0:41:52.279 you have the next problem, which you want people to 0:41:52.280 --> 0:41:54.040 be able to walk in the sidewalks start being there. 0:41:54.320 --> 0:41:56.319 How do we answer it? How do we address that? Right? 0:41:56.440 --> 0:41:56.560 Right? 0:41:57.000 --> 0:41:59.040 And I'll pivot for just a second off this hobby. 0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:02.239 You mentioned the success that the crews had. I've saw 0:42:02.320 --> 0:42:04.480 nothing but glowering reviews for the snow removal, but also 0:42:05.520 --> 0:42:08.160 that plow tracking app as well. It was down for 0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:10.399 a while. Worn't quite sure with the mechanics. There's always 0:42:10.400 --> 0:42:12.640 growing pains. I think we talked about this before seth Walsh. 0:42:13.239 --> 0:42:15.520 But you know, from what I could tell and looking 0:42:15.560 --> 0:42:18.240 at it during the snow event and probably ones happening tomorrow, 0:42:18.360 --> 0:42:20.480 everything looks really good. I mean, you guys really turned 0:42:20.520 --> 0:42:22.840 the corner on the snow removal thing largely because of 0:42:22.920 --> 0:42:23.400 your efforts. 0:42:24.800 --> 0:42:26.440 Yeah, I mean this is something that I think a 0:42:26.480 --> 0:42:28.960 lot of people deserve credit and kudos for. You know, 0:42:29.080 --> 0:42:32.200 last year we failed as leaders in terms of making 0:42:32.239 --> 0:42:34.200 sure that we were set up for the team to 0:42:34.239 --> 0:42:35.400 be able to go out and succeed at it. 0:42:35.719 --> 0:42:37.560 We had six hundred streets, we just didn't know that 0:42:37.640 --> 0:42:38.239 we didn't plow. 0:42:38.600 --> 0:42:41.319 That's not acceptable and we said that, and we said 0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:43.920 the last year working to make sure that we have 0:42:44.040 --> 0:42:46.240 the six hundred streets identified, that we had the systems 0:42:46.280 --> 0:42:48.760 in place to succeed that we knew days in advance 0:42:48.800 --> 0:42:50.160 we could prepare for and take care of it so 0:42:50.239 --> 0:42:52.560 that when we sent our workers out there, we worked 0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:56.160 twelve hour shifts. You know, they are doing the Lord's 0:42:56.239 --> 0:42:58.320 work in this and they needed to make sure they're supported, 0:42:58.360 --> 0:43:00.160 and we made sure they're actually supported this time. You 0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:02.640 see how remarkable the team is once they actually have 0:43:02.680 --> 0:43:05.520 the appropriate support from the snow plod tracker working to. 0:43:05.520 --> 0:43:07.680 Be able to see what streets were being taken care of, 0:43:07.760 --> 0:43:08.400 to see that we had it. 0:43:08.440 --> 0:43:10.880 Two days in advance, we were salting and preparing for 0:43:10.960 --> 0:43:13.480 the storms and then you know, literally getting these streets 0:43:13.520 --> 0:43:15.720 covered and taking care of Within like thirty six hours, 0:43:15.880 --> 0:43:17.560 we had ninety five percent of the streets passable. 0:43:17.560 --> 0:43:20.040 I mean, it was really incredible. But it took us 0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:20.680 being honest with. 0:43:20.680 --> 0:43:22.359 Ourselves, which I think is one of the hardest things 0:43:22.400 --> 0:43:25.239 in government to submit that, hey, we came up short. 0:43:25.320 --> 0:43:27.560 We have to do better, right, right, and often there 0:43:27.560 --> 0:43:29.279 are enough people taking the hit for that, going, hey, 0:43:29.320 --> 0:43:31.360 it's on my watch, it's going to happen. He's council 0:43:31.360 --> 0:43:34.680 Member Seth Walsh proposing a new ordin Cincinnati that's going 0:43:34.719 --> 0:43:37.800 to enforce with a little bit more teeth that you 0:43:37.960 --> 0:43:42.560 have to remove the snow from your sidewalks. That doesn't 0:43:42.560 --> 0:43:44.360 apply to a driveway though, right if you want to 0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:46.600 not shovel your own driveway, it's up to you, although 0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:50.560 I guess the sidewalk usually does cross a driveway. And 0:43:51.800 --> 0:43:53.560 you know, I'm backing up on this thing too, is 0:43:54.200 --> 0:43:56.600 how long before how long do you give someone to 0:43:56.719 --> 0:43:59.320 shovel the snow? Is it within twenty four hours forty 0:43:59.360 --> 0:44:01.960 eight a week? How long to shovel the snow that fill? 0:44:03.280 --> 0:44:03.480 Yeah? 0:44:03.560 --> 0:44:06.120 So on the first point, no, this doesn't impact driveways 0:44:06.160 --> 0:44:08.320 you know, the driveways your private property. 0:44:08.440 --> 0:44:10.080 The sidewalks are of the public property. 0:44:10.120 --> 0:44:10.239 Here. 0:44:11.200 --> 0:44:14.279 The second part of this is, in my opinion, you know, 0:44:14.320 --> 0:44:16.839 if we're trying to get everyone's streets cleared within forty 0:44:16.880 --> 0:44:19.320 eight hours, after that forty eight hour mark, is that 0:44:19.400 --> 0:44:22.040 we should expect the sidewalks are getting appropriately cleared as well. 0:44:22.320 --> 0:44:24.359 You know, we had some issues last last week where 0:44:24.400 --> 0:44:26.960 people cleared their sidewalks and then the snowplow came through 0:44:26.960 --> 0:44:29.240 and a bunch of snowgup dumped back on the sidewalk. 0:44:29.520 --> 0:44:31.560 That doesn't very feel very fair. That feels a little 0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:33.560 punitive for those who are trying to do the right thing. 0:44:34.400 --> 0:44:37.560 It's a situation where once a snow emergency has stopped, 0:44:37.800 --> 0:44:39.440 we've gotten the streets taken care of. Now we have 0:44:39.480 --> 0:44:41.120 to make sure the sidewalks become passable. 0:44:41.360 --> 0:44:42.880 You know, it's a priority order to this. 0:44:43.000 --> 0:44:45.239 So we're not saying, hey, the snowstorm is coming down 0:44:45.280 --> 0:44:46.480 right now, be out there and make sure there's not 0:44:46.560 --> 0:44:49.120 a ounce of snow out there. We're saying, you know, 0:44:49.160 --> 0:44:51.719 we're all team. You know, especially now you look we're 0:44:51.719 --> 0:44:53.839 a week out on the storm. We need to make 0:44:53.840 --> 0:44:55.720 sure the sidewalks are passable. 0:44:55.600 --> 0:44:58.759 Okay, Seth Walsh on that, And I've brought up the 0:44:59.080 --> 0:45:01.200 older neighbors at not be able to even plow their 0:45:01.239 --> 0:45:03.479 own driveway. They may pay for the drive to be plowed, 0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:05.040 to be a little extra, a little bit more money 0:45:05.239 --> 0:45:07.960 on them to get the sidewalks done as part of that. 0:45:08.960 --> 0:45:10.960 Businesses may be a little bit different in that regard 0:45:11.040 --> 0:45:13.520 to but you know, all it would take is someone 0:45:13.600 --> 0:45:15.400 to go, hey, they're they're going after this. You know 0:45:15.480 --> 0:45:19.439 this elderly widow or widow were they don't have the money, 0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:21.320 they're fixed income, they can't go out there and shovel 0:45:21.360 --> 0:45:23.920 their own thing. And now you're going to crack down. 0:45:23.960 --> 0:45:25.719 And that feels like it's like an IT team thing 0:45:25.800 --> 0:45:28.360 waiting to happen. But the same thing is, okay, my 0:45:28.400 --> 0:45:31.480 next door neighbor. Let's say, you know, it's an individual 0:45:31.480 --> 0:45:33.440 who works two or three jobs, doesn't have time to 0:45:33.800 --> 0:45:37.520 shovel their own driveway, let alone the snowplow or hiring 0:45:37.600 --> 0:45:39.120 someone to do that because they're trying to keep their 0:45:39.120 --> 0:45:41.640 head above water. In that regard, would the enforcement be 0:45:41.760 --> 0:45:44.600 punitive as you mentioned, because you look at them go, oh, okay, 0:45:44.640 --> 0:45:46.640 it's an older person. They can't afford it. They cannot 0:45:46.680 --> 0:45:48.720 do themselves. But you've got a younger next door neighbor, 0:45:49.000 --> 0:45:50.719 shouldn't they be out there doing it? Well, if you're 0:45:50.719 --> 0:45:52.640 working all the time, it's awfully tough to do that. 0:45:52.880 --> 0:45:53.560 How do you respond. 0:45:55.520 --> 0:45:57.640 We have a number of ordinances that are on the 0:45:57.640 --> 0:46:01.880 books currently that you may like, are targeting are more 0:46:01.960 --> 0:46:05.120 vulnerable citizens, and the way that we handle it as 0:46:05.160 --> 0:46:07.320 a city is that we provide funds and resources to 0:46:07.360 --> 0:46:08.920 make sure that they're being taken care of as well. 0:46:09.520 --> 0:46:11.160 None of these are designed in a way in which 0:46:11.239 --> 0:46:14.440 we are trying to punish, you know, our elderly citizens 0:46:14.520 --> 0:46:17.239 or those who are working multiple jobs. We're just trying 0:46:17.239 --> 0:46:19.439 to make sure the sidewalks to become passable. And again, 0:46:19.600 --> 0:46:21.600 you know this isn't an ordnance. There are already ordinances 0:46:21.640 --> 0:46:24.680 on the books that you know have this enforcement mechanism. 0:46:24.920 --> 0:46:26.360 There's no way to report it right now. And I 0:46:26.400 --> 0:46:28.440 think where the majority of these issues are happening. Frankly, 0:46:28.480 --> 0:46:30.520 our city is society properties, and I think we have 0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:32.120 to do better as a city. That's something in a 0:46:32.239 --> 0:46:35.120 mantra keep saying out there. But if we don't even 0:46:35.120 --> 0:46:36.880 allow your op change to tell us that these are problems. 0:46:36.920 --> 0:46:37.920 We can't solve the problems. 0:46:38.600 --> 0:46:41.000 Yeah, do you feel like set there should be And 0:46:41.080 --> 0:46:43.800 again this is just the very primitive form of stage 0:46:43.840 --> 0:46:46.759 is it's nothing even close to becoming legislation at this point. 0:46:46.800 --> 0:46:48.600 It's like, hey, how do we get the and it's 0:46:48.600 --> 0:46:50.000 a safety is how do we get the snow off 0:46:50.000 --> 0:46:52.680 the sidewalks because the reality is you've got kids trying 0:46:52.719 --> 0:46:54.239 to go to school or walk to the bus stop, 0:46:54.360 --> 0:46:56.560 or people waiting for metro, whatever it might be, and 0:46:56.640 --> 0:46:58.319 now they've got to stand in the road and that's 0:46:58.480 --> 0:46:59.720 just horribly unsafe. 0:46:59.800 --> 0:47:00.800 That's the whole point of this. 0:47:02.000 --> 0:47:02.800 Yeah, exactly. 0:47:03.160 --> 0:47:05.279 You know, I've seen way too many people in the 0:47:05.360 --> 0:47:07.239 last weeks who put them pass through the sidewalks that 0:47:07.239 --> 0:47:09.000 they're just walking down the middle of the street. And 0:47:09.120 --> 0:47:11.840 it's arguably safer for them because they because of the 0:47:12.280 --> 0:47:14.960 slippage and the ice that has accumulated, but it's not 0:47:15.080 --> 0:47:17.040 safer because you have these vehicles that are coming along. 0:47:17.080 --> 0:47:19.440 It's not safer for them, it's not safer for the vehicles. 0:47:19.719 --> 0:47:21.880 And so again, as a community, we have to step 0:47:21.960 --> 0:47:23.880 up and do better. And so how do we do that? 0:47:24.080 --> 0:47:25.839 Again, we're not trying to be piuted up here. We're 0:47:25.840 --> 0:47:28.080 just trying to figure out ways and we can solve problems. 0:47:27.840 --> 0:47:30.360 That have arisen. And frankly, of all the problems that. 0:47:30.320 --> 0:47:31.759 We had last year, for this to be the next 0:47:31.800 --> 0:47:33.799 issue to tackle, I think it's a good side where 0:47:33.840 --> 0:47:34.439 the city's setting. 0:47:35.160 --> 0:47:38.000 Yeah, you got the roads tackled. Now it's the sidewalks 0:47:38.040 --> 0:47:42.080 which is challenging in different ways. I suppose, sess and 0:47:42.200 --> 0:47:43.799 we'll see what comes of this whole thing. I would 0:47:43.800 --> 0:47:47.000 also think too that this is such an unusually heavy 0:47:47.239 --> 0:47:49.880 snowfall winter for us. We normally don't get this much 0:47:49.960 --> 0:47:51.480 so in a short period of time, you know, and 0:47:51.560 --> 0:47:53.719 maybe a storm where we get four inches or something 0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:55.640 like that, and we treat it like it's a big deal. 0:47:56.120 --> 0:47:58.319 You know, a foot of snow and plus what we're 0:47:58.320 --> 0:48:01.120 getting tomorrow on sidewalks that's impassable. 0:48:01.440 --> 0:48:03.319 You know, an inch or two you probably can walk 0:48:03.400 --> 0:48:03.680 over that. 0:48:03.840 --> 0:48:06.839 And so is this kind of preparing for the quote 0:48:06.880 --> 0:48:09.719 unquote hundred year flood as opposed to what we normally say. 0:48:10.920 --> 0:48:13.320 You know, last year, I got a lot of criticism 0:48:13.400 --> 0:48:15.040 when I was when I was saying that we needed 0:48:15.040 --> 0:48:17.480 to do better on the snowplows because everyone said it 0:48:17.520 --> 0:48:20.280 was a once in a twenty year storm, and barely 0:48:20.320 --> 0:48:22.439 twelve months later that once in a twenty year storm 0:48:22.480 --> 0:48:25.880 hit again. Right, You know, the reality is we do 0:48:26.000 --> 0:48:28.320 live in a city where snowfall events happen, and we 0:48:28.400 --> 0:48:30.640 don't know when the next big snowstorm is. We didn't 0:48:30.680 --> 0:48:32.200 think two weeks together, we're going to have two big 0:48:32.280 --> 0:48:34.480 storms within a two week period, and yet that's what 0:48:34.520 --> 0:48:35.239 we're staring. 0:48:35.320 --> 0:48:36.200 Down the gun on. 0:48:36.400 --> 0:48:38.879 So, yes, this is an important issue to make sure 0:48:38.920 --> 0:48:41.279 that we continue to just improve on. And I hope 0:48:41.320 --> 0:48:42.719 that we don't have to experience it for the next 0:48:42.800 --> 0:48:46.480 hundred years. But if I've learned anything about my predictions, 0:48:46.520 --> 0:48:48.200 if you will, we'll try having again in the next 0:48:48.280 --> 0:48:50.359 three weeks. And so let's just be ready and let's 0:48:50.360 --> 0:48:52.000 start having these conversations and figure. 0:48:51.800 --> 0:48:54.120 Out again as a community, how do we do better 0:48:54.120 --> 0:48:54.400 and how do. 0:48:54.440 --> 0:48:56.560 We work with each other make sure we're supporting the 0:48:56.560 --> 0:48:58.880 administration for what they need and the resources they need 0:48:58.960 --> 0:48:59.719 to be successful. 0:49:00.000 --> 0:49:02.720 Well, the good news is much like diarrhea, it doesn't 0:49:02.760 --> 0:49:03.680 hang on too much longer. 0:49:03.719 --> 0:49:03.839 Here. 0:49:03.840 --> 0:49:05.640 When I got a few weeks of this nonsense, Seth 0:49:05.719 --> 0:49:07.800 Walsh and then we'll be we'll be headed to spring 0:49:07.920 --> 0:49:10.680 I think with Red's baseball au Anyu Suarez. Now we're 0:49:10.680 --> 0:49:12.359 in a red uniform, so we got hope down at 0:49:13.200 --> 0:49:16.160 Great American Ballpark for our red legs. But of course 0:49:16.239 --> 0:49:18.920 with warmer temperature and all these cold and freezing and 0:49:19.000 --> 0:49:22.880 the snows, the the you know, the warming and freezing cycle, 0:49:23.560 --> 0:49:24.800 we got to worry about potholes. 0:49:24.880 --> 0:49:26.160 Now, are we here? 0:49:26.280 --> 0:49:28.640 I think this is going to focus from clearing sidewalks 0:49:28.680 --> 0:49:31.759 to pothole damage in a few short weeks, and are 0:49:31.840 --> 0:49:35.719 we prepared to deal with the probably immeasurable amount of 0:49:35.760 --> 0:49:38.600 potholes Last year it was a high pothole season. This 0:49:38.719 --> 0:49:41.080 year I would suspect the same. Are we better in 0:49:41.160 --> 0:49:43.879 twenty twenty six than we were in twenty twenty five 0:49:43.960 --> 0:49:44.239 on us? 0:49:45.640 --> 0:49:48.520 You know, potholes didn't get as much attention last year 0:49:48.840 --> 0:49:51.040 in the media as the snowstorm did, but it did 0:49:51.080 --> 0:49:53.080 get a lot of attention on the inside of city hall. 0:49:53.600 --> 0:49:57.160 Council Member Nolan obviously did a you know, quick blitz. 0:49:56.960 --> 0:49:59.759 To try to come up some solutions for the pothole how. 0:49:59.719 --> 0:50:02.040 We can do better at poddles, and then until I 0:50:02.120 --> 0:50:04.200 believe today is actually going to be approving. 0:50:04.040 --> 0:50:06.080 Funding to buy new equipment from pothole. 0:50:05.840 --> 0:50:08.600 Feelings, So hopefully you're going to see it improvement or 0:50:08.600 --> 0:50:11.600 remarkable improvement. Again, it's under the same new director who's 0:50:11.880 --> 0:50:15.640 solved our soap op situation, Mark Briley, So I feel optimistic, 0:50:15.719 --> 0:50:17.240 but let's have that conversation. 0:50:16.880 --> 0:50:18.960 Of four weeks when we get to see it in action, right. 0:50:18.880 --> 0:50:20.719 Right, and hopefully we are better than we have been 0:50:20.760 --> 0:50:22.120 in the past when it comes to poddles. Right now, 0:50:22.160 --> 0:50:26.520 it's snow on sidewalks. What's the timeline for this proposal? 0:50:28.640 --> 0:50:31.040 So we we're filing it today, which means we will 0:50:31.040 --> 0:50:34.640 officially vote on it next week and hopefully we'll see. 0:50:34.480 --> 0:50:36.960 Resolves quickly from there. Yeah, all right, we think this 0:50:37.080 --> 0:50:38.040 is a priority for the city. 0:50:38.120 --> 0:50:39.399 Yeah, I get what is you're trying to do because 0:50:39.400 --> 0:50:41.279 you can't have people, especially kids, walking in the street 0:50:41.280 --> 0:50:44.239 because the sidewalks aren't clear for sure. So anyway, Hey, Seth, 0:50:44.280 --> 0:50:45.920 appreciate you jup and I always love having you on 0:50:46.000 --> 0:50:47.680 the program. Thanks again, buddy, have a good day. 0:50:48.600 --> 0:50:49.080 Thanks Scott. 0:50:49.120 --> 0:50:50.920 All right, anytime there you go, Seth Walsh on the 0:50:50.920 --> 0:50:54.520 Scott Sloan Show. There may be some questions. How are 0:50:54.520 --> 0:50:57.480 you enforced this, namely? But I get the concept because 0:50:57.960 --> 0:50:59.759 you know, when sicy and cold out, people walk in 0:50:59.760 --> 0:51:02.880 this because at least the road is cleared, and in 0:51:02.960 --> 0:51:05.239 the past you couldn't walk anywhere because the roads weren't cleared. 0:51:05.320 --> 0:51:08.120 So I guess we're making progress. Julie hattersh hears. Next, 0:51:08.160 --> 0:51:10.080 it's Mental Health Monday on the Scott Sloan Show on 0:51:10.200 --> 0:51:15.040 seven hundred WLW. Why do people hang onto relationships much 0:51:15.160 --> 0:51:18.000 longer than the life of the relationship be held onto, 0:51:18.160 --> 0:51:22.000 namely unfulfilling relationships? Why do we continue to do that 0:51:22.160 --> 0:51:24.120 when it's not getting us anywhere and making us worse. 0:51:24.480 --> 0:51:26.919 We'll talk about that coming up after news on seven 0:51:27.000 --> 0:51:27.960 hundred WLW. 0:51:29.360 --> 0:51:32.920 Everyone needs help every now and then, and she's here 0:51:33.000 --> 0:51:34.399 to help us get our heads right. 0:51:35.239 --> 0:51:38.520 This is Mental Health Monday with mental health expert Julie Hattershot. 0:51:38.680 --> 0:51:40.120 I need help all the time. I'm not about you. 0:51:40.280 --> 0:51:45.319 It's sloanyersefd WW, specially at mondays right. 0:51:45.680 --> 0:51:48.200 You need more help than ever before. Why do people 0:51:48.280 --> 0:51:52.439 stay in unfulfilling relationships over and over? Maybe it's a friend, 0:51:52.640 --> 0:51:54.880 maybe it's you, Maybe it's a coworker relative, and it's 0:51:54.920 --> 0:51:58.120 like NonStop complaining about this horrible relationship. Then get out 0:51:58.160 --> 0:52:01.640 of it. Seems like it's easier said than done on that, Julie, 0:52:01.680 --> 0:52:04.839 how to share our license mental health therapists practicing out 0:52:04.840 --> 0:52:08.840 of Clifton at beconnected dot care. Julie, how are you? 0:52:11.640 --> 0:52:11.759 Uh? 0:52:11.800 --> 0:52:14.880 Oh, we've got bad cell connection here? What's up? 0:52:15.080 --> 0:52:15.319 Hello? 0:52:15.480 --> 0:52:15.719 Hello? 0:52:15.920 --> 0:52:16.600 Check one too? 0:52:16.960 --> 0:52:17.120 Hey? 0:52:17.560 --> 0:52:19.680 Is your phone is frozen? I think I think the 0:52:19.760 --> 0:52:20.840 phone pipes are frozen. 0:52:22.400 --> 0:52:25.320 Yeah, we got you, Okay, sorry about that. 0:52:25.480 --> 0:52:27.799 Had my earbuds in and apparently they did not work. 0:52:27.960 --> 0:52:30.320 Nope, nothing's working today. It's too damn cold. 0:52:30.800 --> 0:52:30.920 Uh. 0:52:32.040 --> 0:52:35.160 But you'll stay in that unfulfilling relationship though, that for sure. 0:52:35.200 --> 0:52:37.200 Will beat the cold well, and I'll beat the heat. 0:52:38.080 --> 0:52:40.920 It seems counter to to human nature. Is like, you know, 0:52:41.080 --> 0:52:44.320 people generally don't stay in relations you're not happy with. 0:52:44.520 --> 0:52:47.560 But you probably hear people going, oh, you know, it's 0:52:47.600 --> 0:52:50.160 not that bad and I've invested so much time and 0:52:50.239 --> 0:52:52.160 what else am I supposed to do? And maybe it'll 0:52:52.200 --> 0:52:53.960 get better And it never does, it gets worse, doesn't it. 0:52:55.080 --> 0:52:57.680 Well it can, that's for sure. And it's really interesting 0:52:57.719 --> 0:53:01.040 because our like our primary romantic love relationship is the 0:53:01.160 --> 0:53:04.480 one thing in our society that we really give people 0:53:04.560 --> 0:53:06.880 a hard time about leaving. You know, you think about it. 0:53:06.960 --> 0:53:10.520 You change jobs sometimes, you change in higher career fields. 0:53:10.600 --> 0:53:12.600 You go from being one thing to another. 0:53:12.440 --> 0:53:16.080 Thing completely, You move houses, you move states, friendships come 0:53:16.160 --> 0:53:19.000 and go. But this is the one that's supposed to stick. 0:53:19.600 --> 0:53:21.160 This is the one that you're supposed to make in 0:53:21.360 --> 0:53:23.440 maybe your twenties or your thirties, and it's supposed to 0:53:23.520 --> 0:53:25.279 last you for the rest of your life, which can 0:53:25.280 --> 0:53:26.600 be a very long time these days. 0:53:26.680 --> 0:53:28.759 Yes, yeah, and so and so. 0:53:28.920 --> 0:53:32.640 People do tend to stay in unsatisfying relationships for some 0:53:32.800 --> 0:53:36.640 reasons that I guess sound good on paper, but when 0:53:36.680 --> 0:53:38.920 you really kind of take them apart, they don't make 0:53:38.960 --> 0:53:39.839 a whole lot of sense. 0:53:40.000 --> 0:53:41.080 All right, let's jump into that. 0:53:41.200 --> 0:53:43.400 What are the psychological reasons that you would stay in 0:53:43.520 --> 0:53:47.279 a relationship, whether it's intimate or personal friendship, whatever may be, 0:53:47.360 --> 0:53:48.120 where it's not fulfilling. 0:53:49.280 --> 0:53:52.319 Well, you know, so one of them is people say, well, 0:53:52.360 --> 0:53:52.680 it's not. 0:53:52.840 --> 0:53:55.399 That bad or it's not bad enough to leave. 0:53:56.440 --> 0:53:58.640 There's a really great book out there called Too Good 0:53:58.680 --> 0:54:00.880 to Leave, Too Bad to Stay That talks about this 0:54:01.080 --> 0:54:05.359 kind of stable ambiguity of it's not good, but it's 0:54:05.440 --> 0:54:06.799 not so bad that. 0:54:07.080 --> 0:54:08.320 I am ready to leave it. 0:54:08.840 --> 0:54:11.520 And so when my clients say things like that to me, 0:54:11.680 --> 0:54:13.560 one of the things that I will ask and is, okay, well, 0:54:13.600 --> 0:54:16.040 what would bad enough look like? And I think it 0:54:16.080 --> 0:54:18.319 can be really helpful for people to think about, Okay, 0:54:18.320 --> 0:54:20.680 if it's not bad enough to leave, now, what would 0:54:20.760 --> 0:54:23.440 that look like? What would have to happen or have 0:54:23.640 --> 0:54:25.040 to not be there in order for. 0:54:25.080 --> 0:54:26.279 It to be bad enough to leave? 0:54:27.600 --> 0:54:29.880 And I think another thing to keep in mind is 0:54:29.920 --> 0:54:33.080 that the presence of a positive is much better. 0:54:32.920 --> 0:54:34.280 Than the absence of a negative. 0:54:34.600 --> 0:54:38.080 So not bad is not the same as good, it's 0:54:38.200 --> 0:54:40.480 not terrible is not the same as I'm really happy 0:54:40.520 --> 0:54:44.279 in this relationship. And we ideally want to be optimizing 0:54:44.360 --> 0:54:48.320 for the presence of positive not just the absence of negatives. So, 0:54:48.840 --> 0:54:51.000 you know, taking a really hard look at what would 0:54:51.080 --> 0:54:53.960 bad enough be what would have to happen in order 0:54:54.000 --> 0:54:55.440 for this to be bad enough for you to leave? 0:54:55.520 --> 0:54:58.319 Or or conversely, what would have to happen in order 0:54:58.360 --> 0:55:00.600 for this to be good enough that you're happy you stayed, 0:55:01.480 --> 0:55:02.160 and figure out what. 0:55:02.280 --> 0:55:05.040 Needs to change, So it's at a version of loss. 0:55:05.080 --> 0:55:07.680 I mean that is, you know, losses aren't more painful 0:55:07.800 --> 0:55:10.880 than in some cases more painful than pleasure, right, so 0:55:11.719 --> 0:55:15.480 you try to avoid that at all costs. Yeah, I 0:55:15.960 --> 0:55:18.399 mean that makes sense. But you know you know, well, 0:55:18.560 --> 0:55:19.960 you know it can't be bad, and you said not 0:55:20.080 --> 0:55:22.160 bad enough. But what happens is if you look back 0:55:22.200 --> 0:55:24.320 on let's say, in your relationship for a while, go 0:55:24.480 --> 0:55:27.040 back a year, go back two or three years, is 0:55:27.080 --> 0:55:31.080 it worse now? That wasn't absolutely because it's not an extreme, 0:55:31.200 --> 0:55:34.560 it's gradually getting worse, and you just keep making excuses 0:55:34.640 --> 0:55:37.160 and that just allows probably that other person to take 0:55:37.239 --> 0:55:41.479 the more liberties that they didn't in the past because 0:55:41.520 --> 0:55:42.080 you're allowing it. 0:55:43.280 --> 0:55:46.320 Well, if it's not bad enough yet and you're not 0:55:47.200 --> 0:55:48.719 both of you doing things. 0:55:48.560 --> 0:55:50.879 To work to make it better, then it's not going 0:55:50.920 --> 0:55:51.919 to just get better. 0:55:52.160 --> 0:55:55.040 Things typically in relationships don't just get better. We do 0:55:55.239 --> 0:55:58.399 things to help them become better. And so you stay 0:55:58.480 --> 0:56:01.840 in this this middle ground of like not great but 0:56:02.000 --> 0:56:04.759 not bad for long enough, and now you've sunk a 0:56:04.840 --> 0:56:07.320 lot of years into it, which is another reason that 0:56:07.400 --> 0:56:11.120 people stay is because they feel like they've sunk so 0:56:11.520 --> 0:56:14.680 much effort and time, so much of their life, maybe 0:56:14.760 --> 0:56:18.480 so much money, so much of their emotional labor, so 0:56:19.000 --> 0:56:21.840 much of their adult life has been as part of 0:56:21.920 --> 0:56:25.399 this dynamic, even though it hasn't been good, and even 0:56:25.440 --> 0:56:27.000 though it isn't good, and even though you don't think 0:56:27.000 --> 0:56:30.360 it's going to get better. It's that sunk cost fallacy 0:56:30.520 --> 0:56:33.080 of I put so much into it, I can't leave now, 0:56:33.520 --> 0:56:35.319 versus look at all I've put into it and how 0:56:35.360 --> 0:56:37.680 little I've gotten out of it, it probably is time 0:56:37.760 --> 0:56:40.320 for me to leave. So that's a mindset shift that 0:56:40.360 --> 0:56:43.279 people can make when you've overly invested and you're not 0:56:43.360 --> 0:56:44.399 getting returned. 0:56:44.520 --> 0:56:46.760 Kind of keeps you stuck on. Well, was this for nothing? 0:56:46.800 --> 0:56:49.440 I've invested so much already and it's some cost fallicy, 0:56:49.440 --> 0:56:51.600 as you said, But that's nothing new. That's true in 0:56:51.640 --> 0:56:53.120 a lot of things business and a bunch of other 0:56:53.160 --> 0:56:53.839 factors as well. 0:56:54.360 --> 0:56:57.520 Sure, sure, yeah, And the question is what this all 0:56:57.600 --> 0:57:00.680 for nothing? And I think that goes back to this 0:57:00.920 --> 0:57:04.319 idea that our primary relationships are the ones that were 0:57:04.360 --> 0:57:06.480 not allowed to leave, Because I mean, if you think 0:57:06.520 --> 0:57:08.680 about it, and I don't know about you, but I 0:57:08.880 --> 0:57:11.400 switched career fields in the middle of my life in 0:57:11.480 --> 0:57:13.040 my thirties, I went from one to the other, and 0:57:13.080 --> 0:57:14.680 I got a lot of really good stuff out of 0:57:14.760 --> 0:57:17.200 my first career, And now I'm in my second career 0:57:17.200 --> 0:57:18.760 and I'm getting a lot of really good stuff out 0:57:18.800 --> 0:57:20.520 of that. Never once did I say, with all of 0:57:20.600 --> 0:57:22.800 that stuff I did when I was a volunteer manager 0:57:22.880 --> 0:57:25.880 and fundraiser, was all of that for nothing? No. I 0:57:25.920 --> 0:57:27.160 took a look at it and said, I did that. 0:57:27.360 --> 0:57:29.120 It was great. I don't want to do it anymore. 0:57:29.200 --> 0:57:30.360 I want to do this thing now. 0:57:31.040 --> 0:57:33.960 So when we start to think about it in terms 0:57:34.000 --> 0:57:35.800 of not was that all for nothing? But did I 0:57:35.840 --> 0:57:38.040 get everything out of that that I could have gotten? 0:57:38.720 --> 0:57:41.960 Did I max that out? Is this now time to change? 0:57:42.280 --> 0:57:44.720 That mindset shift can make a big difference too in 0:57:44.800 --> 0:57:46.560 how we think about leaving a relationship. 0:57:46.720 --> 0:57:49.880 Yeah, right, right, And that one factor's an a number 0:57:49.880 --> 0:57:51.720 of things. I look at Okay, well I invested too much, 0:57:51.840 --> 0:57:54.840 But at some point you look at what you invested, 0:57:54.920 --> 0:57:56.320 But what are you going to get in the future. 0:57:56.400 --> 0:57:58.560 I think you almost got to like say, okay, yesterday, 0:57:58.640 --> 0:58:00.640 that matters tomorrow, that matters happy or not? 0:58:00.920 --> 0:58:02.040 Is that the best way to test that? 0:58:03.360 --> 0:58:05.360 I think that's a really great way to test it. Yeah, 0:58:05.440 --> 0:58:09.160 because sometimes the relationships that serve us well in one 0:58:09.240 --> 0:58:11.440 phase of our life don't serve us well in another 0:58:11.480 --> 0:58:13.040 phase of our life. I work with a lot of 0:58:13.160 --> 0:58:16.120 couples who would say, when they're being very honest, that 0:58:16.160 --> 0:58:18.320 they're really good co parents and they're really good at 0:58:18.400 --> 0:58:20.360 raising kids and managing a life together. 0:58:20.760 --> 0:58:22.080 But once the kids leave. 0:58:21.960 --> 0:58:25.000 The house and they're on their own, they realize they're 0:58:25.040 --> 0:58:28.120 not great partners. They don't they're not really great mates 0:58:28.240 --> 0:58:28.760 for each other. 0:58:29.600 --> 0:58:30.880 But for that period of. 0:58:30.920 --> 0:58:33.000 Time in their life that they were building careers and 0:58:33.040 --> 0:58:34.400 building families. 0:58:34.000 --> 0:58:35.200 They worked really well together. 0:58:35.600 --> 0:58:38.120 So looking forward into the future, they they're. 0:58:38.040 --> 0:58:39.520 Asking themselves, is this who I. 0:58:39.520 --> 0:58:42.240 Want to spend the next thirty, the last thirty or forty. 0:58:42.040 --> 0:58:42.840 Years of my life with? 0:58:43.280 --> 0:58:45.640 And the answer sometimes is yes and sometimes is no. 0:58:46.320 --> 0:58:49.240 But to your point, when you look forward into the future, 0:58:49.560 --> 0:58:52.160 is what you've gotten going to give you enough of 0:58:52.240 --> 0:58:54.760 what you want going forward? Is this relationship going to 0:58:54.840 --> 0:58:56.520 provide that for you at this point in time in 0:58:56.600 --> 0:58:58.880 your life? And if the answer is no, then it 0:58:58.960 --> 0:59:00.080 might be time to look at. 0:59:00.080 --> 0:59:00.840 Nothing to change. 0:59:01.160 --> 0:59:04.360 Gotcha, She's Julie hatters. She here a licensed mental health expert. 0:59:04.760 --> 0:59:07.640 It is mental health money in the Scotslon show. Why 0:59:07.800 --> 0:59:11.160 do people stay in unfulfilling relationships? And maybe it's you, 0:59:11.280 --> 0:59:13.000 maybe it's someone you know. We always know someone who's 0:59:13.040 --> 0:59:14.680 done that or is going through that, or is about 0:59:14.720 --> 0:59:16.920 to go through that. And so there's a number of 0:59:16.960 --> 0:59:19.560 psychological reasons why you stay in something that's no longer 0:59:19.600 --> 0:59:24.000 working for you, whether it's a romantic relationship, business interest, hell, friendship, 0:59:24.080 --> 0:59:26.880 something on those lines. First and foremostly mentioned things aren't 0:59:26.880 --> 0:59:28.720 bad enough. So in a version of the loss, you 0:59:28.840 --> 0:59:31.280 keep telling yourself, oh, it's not bad yet. In the 0:59:31.320 --> 0:59:33.320 sun costs fallacy, which actually goes hand in hand in 0:59:33.400 --> 0:59:36.560 that I've I've arrested so much already that why would 0:59:36.600 --> 0:59:38.280 I give that up? Because I have all of these 0:59:38.360 --> 0:59:40.959 things together, which, by the way, you make a great 0:59:41.040 --> 0:59:45.440 case for having separate bank accounts and financial things when 0:59:45.480 --> 0:59:48.280 you get in a relationship, right, because that's a big excuse. 0:59:48.480 --> 0:59:50.240 What a pay if we split up. I got we 0:59:50.320 --> 0:59:52.360 got a house, we got all these investments, we got 0:59:52.400 --> 0:59:54.960 this Like, it's I don't have time for that kind 0:59:55.000 --> 0:59:58.080 of payperwork, separate bank accounts, that's what you're going with Julie. 0:59:59.280 --> 1:00:03.720 Separate bank councer are often a really good idea exactly. 1:00:04.240 --> 1:00:06.800 And then there's also this idea that we'll regret our 1:00:06.880 --> 1:00:09.760 decision later, and that's sort of you know better the 1:00:09.840 --> 1:00:12.080 devil you know than the devil you don't, concept of. 1:00:12.400 --> 1:00:13.439 I know what I've got here. 1:00:14.000 --> 1:00:16.560 I can manage it. It's not great, it's not meeting 1:00:16.600 --> 1:00:18.680 my needs or making me happy, but I can manage it. 1:00:18.840 --> 1:00:20.640 What's it going to be like on the other side, 1:00:20.960 --> 1:00:22.640 What's it going to be like to be single? What's 1:00:22.640 --> 1:00:24.080 it going to be like to only see my kids 1:00:24.120 --> 1:00:25.480 part of the time. What's it going to be like 1:00:25.600 --> 1:00:27.680 to be living in a different place. We're going to 1:00:27.760 --> 1:00:31.280 have to untangle family relationships, we may have to untangle friendships. 1:00:31.360 --> 1:00:33.400 What's it going to be like if I lose or 1:00:33.480 --> 1:00:37.400 miss out on some of that? And we tend to 1:00:37.840 --> 1:00:41.080 only focus on the potential negatives of those situations, not 1:00:41.160 --> 1:00:42.280 the potential positives. 1:00:42.320 --> 1:00:44.640 So we tend to focus on what, to your point earlier. 1:00:44.440 --> 1:00:46.600 What we're going to lose, not what we might gain, 1:00:47.040 --> 1:00:49.640 what delight might be around the corner, but what we're 1:00:49.680 --> 1:00:53.040 going to miss out on miss part of lose regret 1:00:53.520 --> 1:00:56.120 and we focus on the negative, and that helps keep 1:00:56.200 --> 1:00:59.760 us stuck someplace. It isn't really great for us, but 1:01:00.120 --> 1:01:02.000 isn't as bad as we're projecting that. 1:01:02.160 --> 1:01:04.720 Future to be interesting. 1:01:06.320 --> 1:01:09.000 Yeah, I mean that makes sense to me that you're gonna, well, 1:01:09.080 --> 1:01:10.880 you know what, I careful, what you wish for, you 1:01:11.000 --> 1:01:13.080 might just get it. And now the grass is green, 1:01:13.160 --> 1:01:17.840 the grass isn't greener. What's what's a worse metaphor than 1:01:17.920 --> 1:01:20.720 the grass is greener? Because people often know those like, well, 1:01:20.760 --> 1:01:22.680 you know, the grass is always greener. I don't know 1:01:22.800 --> 1:01:24.920 it might be, and the minute it doesn't work out, 1:01:24.960 --> 1:01:26.280 you have a regret. How do you deal with that? 1:01:26.320 --> 1:01:29.880 If you're a person who says, you know, I okay 1:01:29.960 --> 1:01:32.919 with the comfortable right now. It's not perfect, but my god, 1:01:33.000 --> 1:01:34.720 it's better than what's out there right now. It almost 1:01:34.800 --> 1:01:35.160 has to be. 1:01:35.280 --> 1:01:36.280 Are you just kidding yourself? 1:01:37.560 --> 1:01:38.360 Well you might be. 1:01:38.640 --> 1:01:41.120 I mean it's you know, it's never easy to find 1:01:41.240 --> 1:01:44.440 some people in your life, friends or partners that you 1:01:44.560 --> 1:01:47.720 want to spend a lot of time with, and being 1:01:47.880 --> 1:01:51.320 single is differently difficult than being in an unhappy relationship. 1:01:52.000 --> 1:01:54.480 I wouldn't say it's easier or harder having done both, 1:01:54.520 --> 1:01:59.640 I would say it's differently difficult. But when you project 1:01:59.800 --> 1:02:04.160 the negative about the future and can't see the potential positive, 1:02:04.640 --> 1:02:08.840 and when you focus on it's okay now, but it's 1:02:08.960 --> 1:02:12.120 not great and nothing that I do is making a difference, 1:02:12.640 --> 1:02:14.520 then you really do have to do kind of a 1:02:14.600 --> 1:02:17.840 cost benefit analysis and say it's what I'm getting where 1:02:17.880 --> 1:02:21.000 I am now good enough to make it worth me 1:02:21.360 --> 1:02:24.440 not getting what I want and need that I'm missing 1:02:24.480 --> 1:02:26.080 out on, and to make it worth with me having 1:02:26.160 --> 1:02:27.800 to put up with what I have to put up 1:02:27.840 --> 1:02:31.040 with to stay here, and really doing an honest cost 1:02:31.080 --> 1:02:34.120 benefit analysis with yourself. And the answer might be yes. 1:02:34.560 --> 1:02:37.000 The answer might be yeah, this is good enough for now, 1:02:37.320 --> 1:02:40.080 I'll figure it out later. The answer might be Nope, 1:02:40.120 --> 1:02:42.600 I'm really not happy now, and I'd rather take my 1:02:42.720 --> 1:02:46.959 chances with something unknown than stay with this unhappy known 1:02:47.160 --> 1:02:48.960 quantity that I've got in my relationship. 1:02:49.080 --> 1:02:53.120 All right, Any other reasons that people would stand these relationships. 1:02:54.000 --> 1:02:54.920 Well, there are a lots. 1:02:55.040 --> 1:02:58.880 So there's societal pressure, as we've talked about, there's family pressure. 1:02:59.280 --> 1:03:01.800 I've worked with a couple of couples over. 1:03:01.720 --> 1:03:04.480 The years where nobody in their family, either of their 1:03:04.560 --> 1:03:08.240 families was ever divorced, like nobody was ever divorced, and 1:03:08.360 --> 1:03:10.600 they were looking at being the first people in their 1:03:10.680 --> 1:03:13.320 whole families cousins, siblings. 1:03:13.080 --> 1:03:14.920 Who were divorced, and that was a really big. 1:03:14.880 --> 1:03:18.080 Deal religious pressure. I mean, there are some faiths that 1:03:18.240 --> 1:03:21.000 still take a really hard look at divorce as being 1:03:21.080 --> 1:03:24.400 a bad thing. People often stay for the kids, and 1:03:24.680 --> 1:03:28.640 there are mixed reasons for that, or mixed success with that. 1:03:28.760 --> 1:03:31.520 I guess I would say sometimes that is the best 1:03:31.560 --> 1:03:34.120 thing to do for the children, if the divorce would 1:03:34.120 --> 1:03:36.200 be really difficult and the kids might be put in 1:03:36.280 --> 1:03:39.880 the middle. But sometimes kids actually do better when parents 1:03:39.960 --> 1:03:44.040 are happier and healthier and working better together than they 1:03:44.080 --> 1:03:47.600 were when they were married. Kids actually can do better 1:03:47.680 --> 1:03:50.840 in those situations. So there are many reasons why people 1:03:50.880 --> 1:03:53.280 would stay. I think we tend to think about staying 1:03:53.320 --> 1:03:55.840 for the kids, or staying because of faith, or staying 1:03:55.920 --> 1:03:58.880 for money, But we don't necessarily think about the head 1:03:58.920 --> 1:04:02.040 games we play with ourselves health to make staying makes sense. 1:04:02.120 --> 1:04:04.280 And so that's why I wanted to talk about this today. 1:04:04.800 --> 1:04:06.440 Yeah, I think the whole religious thing, I mean, that's 1:04:06.520 --> 1:04:08.160 up to you. If you hold that near and dear 1:04:08.200 --> 1:04:10.160 to your heart. Then you I'd be very careful when 1:04:10.160 --> 1:04:12.560 you're dating and getting married. Not so much so with 1:04:12.640 --> 1:04:15.200 a friendship, because there's nothing biblical about splitting that up 1:04:15.280 --> 1:04:17.160 if that person is driving you crazy, and so it 1:04:17.240 --> 1:04:19.960 lived its usefulness and you know, set it free, you 1:04:20.080 --> 1:04:20.400 let it go. 1:04:21.560 --> 1:04:23.360 Although I will say when it comes to the. 1:04:24.840 --> 1:04:28.000 Cognitive biases and all the things to worry about, explaining 1:04:28.040 --> 1:04:30.480 to your family and the kid one is interesting too 1:04:30.560 --> 1:04:32.840 because previous generations is thought, oh my god, you got 1:04:32.920 --> 1:04:34.000 to stay together for the children. 1:04:34.080 --> 1:04:34.480 The children. 1:04:34.880 --> 1:04:37.000 That was more about societal stigma than it was because 1:04:37.080 --> 1:04:39.640 kids can sense that you're miserable and that you're not 1:04:39.720 --> 1:04:41.760 getting along and maybe you're fighting or not talking to 1:04:41.840 --> 1:04:44.560 each other, and it's very cold in that household. I mean, 1:04:44.840 --> 1:04:46.880 I don't know what damages kids more of that or 1:04:47.040 --> 1:04:49.440 that you know, it's my weekend with my kids and 1:04:49.640 --> 1:04:51.240 then next week in the jewey gunder your kids. 1:04:51.280 --> 1:04:51.880 Which one's worse. 1:04:53.120 --> 1:04:56.080 Yeah, So what we know? All the research indicates so 1:04:56.240 --> 1:05:00.240 far that healthy marriages are what's best for children. There's 1:05:00.320 --> 1:05:04.800 no question that that's true. An unhappy marriage is really 1:05:04.920 --> 1:05:08.480 hard for children, particularly if it's overtly unhappy if it's 1:05:08.760 --> 1:05:13.320 cold and distant, that's difficult. But if it's overtly unhappy, yelling, arguing, 1:05:13.440 --> 1:05:16.040 name calling, door slamming. You know the things we think 1:05:16.080 --> 1:05:18.240 of when we think of a really rocky marriage that's 1:05:18.320 --> 1:05:26.240 really hard for kids, A pleasant, cooperative, healthy divorce is 1:05:26.360 --> 1:05:31.160 actually really not all that terrible for children, and an awful, contentious, 1:05:31.400 --> 1:05:35.800 name calling, terrible divorce is really bad for kids. So 1:05:36.480 --> 1:05:41.280 kids tend to respond in these situations how the parents are. 1:05:41.400 --> 1:05:42.640 If the parents are doing. 1:05:42.520 --> 1:05:44.560 Well, the children will generally do well. 1:05:44.760 --> 1:05:47.400 If the parents are not doing well, the children will 1:05:47.480 --> 1:05:50.920 generally have more problems. And that's whether they're married or 1:05:50.960 --> 1:05:54.160 they're divorced. So we used to think divorce was terrible 1:05:54.240 --> 1:05:57.560 for kids. Now we know bad marriages and bad divorces 1:05:57.600 --> 1:06:06.080 are terrible for kids. Would divorce, a cooperative, pleasant, companionable 1:06:06.160 --> 1:06:08.160 divorce is actually not that hard. 1:06:08.000 --> 1:06:10.760 For kids, yeach indicator. 1:06:11.000 --> 1:06:13.640 But typically it's about being punitive and vindictive and all 1:06:13.680 --> 1:06:16.480 these things. Not not always in those kind of relationships, 1:06:16.520 --> 1:06:19.480 but when marriages break up, it's and a kid get 1:06:19.600 --> 1:06:21.560 used as chattel, and it's a whole it's a whole thing. 1:06:21.680 --> 1:06:25.000 It's it can be very, very ugly. You know, back 1:06:25.040 --> 1:06:27.680 to the one thing you mentioned about, you know, buyer's remorse. Here, 1:06:27.920 --> 1:06:29.960 grass is always greener. What if I get what I 1:06:30.400 --> 1:06:33.360 if I leave this person? What happens if I regret 1:06:33.400 --> 1:06:35.880 it later? How often in your practice, Julie, the people 1:06:35.920 --> 1:06:37.400 come back and say, Wow, that was a mistake. 1:06:37.400 --> 1:06:38.200 I should have stayed with them. 1:06:40.640 --> 1:06:43.240 Not very often, But I'm going to tell you that 1:06:43.520 --> 1:06:46.360 partly that's because they've come to see me for therapy 1:06:46.760 --> 1:06:50.560 and they've come to understand that this relationship was not going. 1:06:50.480 --> 1:06:53.000 To change and become more of what they wanted and needed. 1:06:53.440 --> 1:06:57.800 I think in the general population sometimes that happens that 1:06:57.960 --> 1:07:00.120 people go through a divorce or a split up or 1:07:00.120 --> 1:07:02.680 a breakup and they regretted on the back end because 1:07:02.680 --> 1:07:04.640 they didn't put the work in on the front end 1:07:04.760 --> 1:07:05.640 to really. 1:07:05.440 --> 1:07:07.800 See if it could be what they wanted and needed. 1:07:08.280 --> 1:07:11.360 So in my practice, not that frequently. In other couples 1:07:11.440 --> 1:07:14.720 therapists practice, I would say also probably not that frequently, 1:07:15.080 --> 1:07:18.040 because they're coming to see if the relationship has legs, 1:07:18.440 --> 1:07:20.600 and they're learning through the work they're doing. 1:07:20.480 --> 1:07:21.080 That it doesn't. 1:07:21.320 --> 1:07:24.240 But I think when people don't try that and they 1:07:24.360 --> 1:07:28.200 make a decision to split that may not be based 1:07:28.280 --> 1:07:31.000 on the best possible reasons, or may be based on 1:07:31.160 --> 1:07:33.919 something that's more about them and less about the relationship, 1:07:34.240 --> 1:07:37.160 and then they take that into subsequent relationships. The grass 1:07:37.240 --> 1:07:40.080 wasn't necessarily greener because they brought the grass with them 1:07:41.400 --> 1:07:44.240 that in that case, sometimes there is regret on the 1:07:44.280 --> 1:07:47.080 back end. And I have worked with one couple who 1:07:47.360 --> 1:07:51.600 came to me after having been married, divorcing, and remarrying 1:07:51.920 --> 1:07:53.920 the same people, and they came to me after that 1:07:54.280 --> 1:07:57.400 they realized they've made a mistake. They remarried each other, 1:07:57.520 --> 1:07:59.200 and they came to see me to help me figure 1:07:59.240 --> 1:08:02.840 out how to make this iteration of their marriage better 1:08:02.920 --> 1:08:03.480 than the first one. 1:08:03.640 --> 1:08:04.160 That's crazy. 1:08:04.880 --> 1:08:06.960 Wow, all right, Juliett is sure think everything you need 1:08:07.080 --> 1:08:10.080 to know about why you stay in unfulfilling relationships, and 1:08:10.160 --> 1:08:12.320 then that gives you the information to maybe change things. 1:08:12.400 --> 1:08:15.240 She is at Hey Julie by the way the web. 1:08:15.280 --> 1:08:17.120 I want to give her a email address here, it's 1:08:17.160 --> 1:08:19.400 Hey Julie j U L I E D B the 1:08:19.479 --> 1:08:22.679 letter B connected dot care and that's where she practices. 1:08:22.720 --> 1:08:24.720 Any questions or maybe topic your future show, I feel 1:08:24.720 --> 1:08:27.280 fit to reach out and UH, hopefully you feel a 1:08:27.280 --> 1:08:29.280 little bit better. Maybe there's a situation you can apply 1:08:29.400 --> 1:08:31.599 this to Julie. All the best things Again, as always, 1:08:31.640 --> 1:08:32.920 we'll talk next Monday. 1:08:34.040 --> 1:08:35.439 Sounds great, you appreciate it. 1:08:35.520 --> 1:08:36.760 Be well, take care with news. 1:08:36.920 --> 1:08:39.280 In five minutes we've got weather moving in full details 1:08:39.760 --> 1:08:42.040 seconds away on the Home of the Reds seven hundred 1:08:42.120 --> 1:08:43.400 w W sincenat. 1:08:43.439 --> 1:08:43.840 Want to be. 1:08:46.240 --> 1:08:48.679 All right Monday morning, Scott's Long Show back on seven 1:08:48.760 --> 1:08:51.519 hundred WLW. In addition to all the news that's going 1:08:51.560 --> 1:08:53.280 on here locally and in the rest of the world, 1:08:53.320 --> 1:08:54.519 one of the big things that's going on. 1:08:56.040 --> 1:08:57.760 That really cemented, I mean it was. 1:08:57.880 --> 1:09:00.080 It was a cornerstone of Trump getting real elected, and 1:09:00.240 --> 1:09:01.960 of course was what he was going to do about Epstein, 1:09:02.000 --> 1:09:04.800 the Epstein problem. Justice had probably just dropped the final 1:09:04.920 --> 1:09:07.240 transh of those files, more than three million pages, two 1:09:07.280 --> 1:09:10.600 thousand videos, one hundred and eighty thousand images, with the 1:09:10.640 --> 1:09:13.160 women all redacted from the photos. The men were not 1:09:13.360 --> 1:09:15.519 unless it was necessary in order to protect the privacy 1:09:15.520 --> 1:09:18.320 of the women those images. The good news is any 1:09:18.400 --> 1:09:21.519 member of Congress can request to review the unredacted portions 1:09:21.560 --> 1:09:24.040 of the file, so there's some transparency there, and there 1:09:24.160 --> 1:09:26.599 I would say highlights normally, but these are low lights. 1:09:26.880 --> 1:09:30.200 Pete Schin is here, Peter with Epstein Justice dot com 1:09:30.360 --> 1:09:32.920 and his mission is to simply get justice for all 1:09:32.960 --> 1:09:35.679 these women who were victimized over the years by Epstein 1:09:35.720 --> 1:09:36.320 and his cronies. 1:09:36.360 --> 1:09:37.080 Peter, welcome back. 1:09:37.120 --> 1:09:40.240 How are you. I'm great, Scott, Thanks for having me. 1:09:40.479 --> 1:09:42.880 Yeah, this is it's really hard to read a lot 1:09:42.920 --> 1:09:44.599 of this stuff. Let me just run through the highlights 1:09:44.640 --> 1:09:46.400 and I'll fire some questions at you. Bring you up 1:09:46.439 --> 1:09:48.400 to speed if you're listening to the show this morning. 1:09:48.439 --> 1:09:50.160 I wanted to know what's in there, and it's probably 1:09:50.200 --> 1:09:52.880 impossible at this point because it just dropped on Friday. 1:09:53.320 --> 1:09:56.120 To see three you know, to scan three million pages, 1:09:56.160 --> 1:09:59.080 two thousand videos, and almost two hundred thousand images, it's 1:09:59.120 --> 1:10:01.120 going to take some time. But so far, what's come 1:10:01.200 --> 1:10:04.920 out is that Trump's Commerce secretary of Howard Lutnick, had 1:10:04.960 --> 1:10:07.880 planned a trip to Epstein's island in twenty twelve, that 1:10:08.520 --> 1:10:10.760 a thirteen year old girl was forced to perform oral 1:10:10.840 --> 1:10:12.960 sex on Donald Trump and then he raped her while 1:10:13.240 --> 1:10:17.479 Juliane Maxwell was present and also present allegedly when the 1:10:17.560 --> 1:10:22.679 newborn was murdered. Another complaint alleges that calendar girl parties 1:10:22.720 --> 1:10:26.040 at Trump's mar Lago resort involved genital measurements for children, 1:10:26.960 --> 1:10:29.720 and expected the House contempt vote against the Clintons after 1:10:29.760 --> 1:10:31.479 they failed to respond to a subpoena. And you wonder 1:10:31.560 --> 1:10:34.880 why said, there's info in these files that show that 1:10:34.920 --> 1:10:39.200 Bill Clinton's staff had numerous communications with Elai Maxwell. He 1:10:39.320 --> 1:10:43.559 went to his island, Epstein's Island sixteen times. Previous images 1:10:43.600 --> 1:10:45.600 from the last dump showed him a shirtless and a 1:10:45.640 --> 1:10:47.960 hot tub with known victim of the known victim. Anyway, 1:10:48.360 --> 1:10:51.000 Maxwell wrote to a Clinton staffer that she told a 1:10:51.080 --> 1:10:53.400 tabloid quote, what a super stead you are, and how 1:10:53.400 --> 1:10:54.880 I have a crush on you, and how you're hung 1:10:55.000 --> 1:10:56.880 like a horse, and well you get the picture. Hope 1:10:56.920 --> 1:10:59.559 you don't mind that from Julian Maxwell. And then Bill Gates. 1:11:00.080 --> 1:11:03.799 Bill Gates slept with Russian girls, got a sexually transmit 1:11:03.880 --> 1:11:07.320 the disease, and asked for antibiotics so he could secretly 1:11:07.800 --> 1:11:11.160 slip then to his then wife Melinda so she didn't 1:11:11.200 --> 1:11:13.920 get an STD And a lot of this stuff was 1:11:13.960 --> 1:11:17.200 also bankrolled allectly by the Russians and Putin. I think 1:11:17.240 --> 1:11:18.960 those are all the highlights Pete and that's a lot. 1:11:21.600 --> 1:11:25.120 Well, I laugh, not because any of this is funny, 1:11:25.560 --> 1:11:29.080 but because it's horrifying, and because it's impossible for the 1:11:29.200 --> 1:11:32.320 average person, Scott to tell what's true and what's false, 1:11:32.720 --> 1:11:35.760 particularly when the Justice Department is telling me and you 1:11:36.120 --> 1:11:38.680 and every other American that there's nothing to see here 1:11:38.720 --> 1:11:41.439 in these three milien pages, to say nothing of the 1:11:41.520 --> 1:11:44.760 other three million that haven't been released. And as you say, 1:11:45.280 --> 1:11:47.800 members of Congress are free to go and look at 1:11:47.880 --> 1:11:51.840 those other three million pages whenever they'd like. But as 1:11:51.880 --> 1:11:55.880 a practical matter, you know, it's impossible to go through, 1:11:56.280 --> 1:11:59.200 virtually impossible for an ordinary human being to go through 1:11:59.280 --> 1:12:02.200 three million page of documents, to say nothing of the 1:12:02.280 --> 1:12:06.040 three million that are redacted. It it's not transparency. What 1:12:06.160 --> 1:12:10.800 it is, God is It's it's transparency through releasing the 1:12:11.000 --> 1:12:13.680 forest so that there's no way to see any of 1:12:13.760 --> 1:12:17.800 the trees, because there's so much garbage being poured out here. 1:12:18.280 --> 1:12:19.600 But at the end of the day, what. 1:12:19.720 --> 1:12:22.040 Can be believed out of any of it, Well, what 1:12:22.200 --> 1:12:25.800 can be believed for sure is that Epstein just is 1:12:25.880 --> 1:12:29.400 that Jeffrey Epstein moved in a circle of very powerful, 1:12:29.720 --> 1:12:35.920 well connected and financially lucrative people. In fact, that the 1:12:36.080 --> 1:12:40.240 top people in the world not only did he move 1:12:40.280 --> 1:12:43.160 in those circles, but they all admired him, and and 1:12:43.640 --> 1:12:47.360 that should make everybody sick. These folks that that we 1:12:47.560 --> 1:12:50.799 think are are you know, uh, these captains of industry, 1:12:51.479 --> 1:12:55.160 these political leaders, uh and what they what they were 1:12:55.400 --> 1:12:58.040 was just a discussing child predators. 1:12:58.120 --> 1:12:59.960 If these files are to be believed. 1:13:00.080 --> 1:13:02.479 Well, that's the thing too, is that this is huge stump. 1:13:02.479 --> 1:13:04.559 And again there's an old theory about this, is like, hey, 1:13:04.600 --> 1:13:07.439 you want information, will just overwhelm you with evidence and 1:13:07.439 --> 1:13:08.600 there's no way you can sort through it. 1:13:08.920 --> 1:13:11.400 That's kind of an I legal tactic. But these are 1:13:12.439 --> 1:13:13.080 what we don't know. 1:13:13.200 --> 1:13:15.559 The fact is there could be fake or falsely submitted 1:13:15.560 --> 1:13:19.360 images or documents or videos. The hardest part here, if 1:13:19.439 --> 1:13:21.919 not the impossible part, then Pete would be separated incredible 1:13:21.920 --> 1:13:25.120 evidence from disinformation to dumped this massive right. 1:13:26.640 --> 1:13:29.479 Yes, sir and Scott. The thing is that what's called 1:13:29.560 --> 1:13:32.240 for here is an investigation. 1:13:32.840 --> 1:13:33.920 And the irony of. 1:13:34.040 --> 1:13:37.200 Releasing three million documents and then saying, well, there's nothing 1:13:37.280 --> 1:13:43.799 to investigate here, it creates an immediate sense of cognitive dissonance. 1:13:44.040 --> 1:13:47.720 Where you can't really believe what people are. It's one 1:13:47.760 --> 1:13:49.640 of these things where it's, hey, do you want to 1:13:49.680 --> 1:13:51.960 believe your own eyes or what I'm telling you from 1:13:52.000 --> 1:13:54.840 the reality that if you're telling me that you've got 1:13:54.920 --> 1:13:58.400 six million documents but nothing to investigate, how is anybody 1:13:58.439 --> 1:14:01.440 to make sense of that? Seems there's plenty to investigate 1:14:01.479 --> 1:14:04.040 in six million pages where the files and the amount, 1:14:04.280 --> 1:14:07.559 there was plenty to investigate before you release a single page. Yeah, 1:14:07.760 --> 1:14:11.120 and yet what we're being told is that no investigation 1:14:11.280 --> 1:14:15.920 is necessary because we've unloaded an entire sewers worth of information, 1:14:17.240 --> 1:14:19.400 unverifiable as it is, onto you. 1:14:19.520 --> 1:14:21.320 And so that's enough and eat. 1:14:21.200 --> 1:14:22.720 Your gruel and like it right? 1:14:22.760 --> 1:14:25.280 Well, Pete, we also saw that there were some Trump 1:14:25.320 --> 1:14:28.599 allegations that were pretty mind blowing that have now been 1:14:28.680 --> 1:14:31.599 pulled from the dob DJ website and it says page 1:14:31.680 --> 1:14:34.640 not found. Doesn't that add just more fuel to the 1:14:34.680 --> 1:14:37.800 conspiracy fires as well? And then therefore the backlash would 1:14:37.840 --> 1:14:41.759 be more of a demand for the president to maybe 1:14:42.520 --> 1:14:45.719 unredact some of the stuff, or be more transparent about 1:14:45.760 --> 1:14:50.120 what the role was and being more forward about prosecuting people. 1:14:51.800 --> 1:14:54.920 Oh well, that would be an ideal situation, you know. 1:14:55.560 --> 1:14:57.920 And that is the thing I think that for many people, 1:14:58.040 --> 1:15:01.639 myself included, is among the the greatest disappointments thus far 1:15:01.920 --> 1:15:06.200 in this version of President Trump is that I think 1:15:06.320 --> 1:15:10.479 many of us expected him to take charge of this 1:15:10.680 --> 1:15:15.160 matter and clear it up. I mean, let's just take 1:15:15.280 --> 1:15:18.120 everything that the president has said at face value. That 1:15:18.240 --> 1:15:22.720 he distanced himself from Epstein long before he was ever 1:15:22.800 --> 1:15:25.600 even convicted of a crime. And let's just take that 1:15:25.720 --> 1:15:30.280 at face value. Okay, I believe you now do something 1:15:30.720 --> 1:15:33.920 because this guy that you determined to be more than 1:15:33.960 --> 1:15:40.200 twenty years ago continued to commit very serious criminal acts. 1:15:40.600 --> 1:15:43.320 And not only that, but it appears that he involved 1:15:43.479 --> 1:15:46.880 several other powerful people, and by several other, I mean 1:15:47.120 --> 1:15:50.559 many many powerful people in his web, including a president 1:15:50.640 --> 1:15:53.080 of from two administrations. As the files or to be believed. 1:15:53.120 --> 1:15:55.360 Yeah, there's your price, any thing about that for the 1:15:55.400 --> 1:15:59.760 Trump you know, diehards and believers. The DOJ said that 1:15:59.800 --> 1:16:02.439 these aren't founded in false claims are submitted before the 1:16:02.479 --> 1:16:05.040 twenty twenty election, kind of an October surprise. But here's 1:16:05.040 --> 1:16:07.280 the problem with that theory is that, Okay, you just 1:16:07.360 --> 1:16:09.960 released all this information and then you went it's on 1:16:10.040 --> 1:16:12.040 the webs on the well, now we're going to take 1:16:12.080 --> 1:16:14.720 it off the web that you know, if there's nothing 1:16:14.760 --> 1:16:16.880 to worry about, nothing the scene, why pull it from 1:16:17.439 --> 1:16:18.280 from public. 1:16:18.040 --> 1:16:23.920 View, particularly since there are plenty of allegedly false accusations 1:16:23.960 --> 1:16:25.040 that you've left out there. 1:16:25.200 --> 1:16:25.439 Yeah. 1:16:25.880 --> 1:16:29.160 So no, none, none of it makes sense other than 1:16:29.240 --> 1:16:31.720 as a tactic to distract from the fact that what's 1:16:31.840 --> 1:16:34.160 really required to get to the bottom of the rot 1:16:34.280 --> 1:16:38.880 that is infecting a republic is a no nonsense bipartisan 1:16:38.960 --> 1:16:42.880 and in fact, I would argue a nonpartisan congressional investigation 1:16:43.280 --> 1:16:46.679 in which for just five minutes, Congress drops the partisan 1:16:46.760 --> 1:16:50.040 boxing gloves and comes together to do their congress their 1:16:50.120 --> 1:16:55.400 constitutionally mandated function of holding the executive branch accountable. Scott, 1:16:55.720 --> 1:16:57.800 I used to be a liaison from the Secretary of 1:16:57.800 --> 1:16:59.960 the Air Force to set up appropriators. And here's why 1:16:59.960 --> 1:17:02.840 I know about the executive branch as a liaison from 1:17:02.920 --> 1:17:05.920 the executive branch, which is that the executive branch is 1:17:06.000 --> 1:17:07.480 designed to keep secrets. 1:17:07.720 --> 1:17:08.519 That's what it does. 1:17:08.880 --> 1:17:12.439 The executive branch keeps secrets in order to ensure our 1:17:12.560 --> 1:17:17.160 national defense and other executive functions that have to be 1:17:17.280 --> 1:17:20.840 held That means that as a practical matter, the executive 1:17:20.840 --> 1:17:24.320 branch isn't well equipped to disclose information. 1:17:24.600 --> 1:17:27.840 It is the job of Congress to force. 1:17:27.720 --> 1:17:31.280 The executive branch, to hold the executive branch accountable, and 1:17:31.400 --> 1:17:33.760 it is Congress's job to do That's what Leo at 1:17:33.760 --> 1:17:37.400 Epstein Justice want, simply for Congress to do their job. Now, 1:17:37.680 --> 1:17:39.439 I'm not saying that the law that was passed on 1:17:39.520 --> 1:17:43.560 November nineteenth has had no effect. Obviously it's forcing the 1:17:43.640 --> 1:17:47.439 release of these files whole cloth, but it's not what's 1:17:47.560 --> 1:17:52.240 really required, Scott. What's really necessary is a nonpartisan investigation 1:17:52.320 --> 1:17:55.240 where we can get some legitimate answers instead of just 1:17:55.360 --> 1:17:59.360 being dumped this information that prosecutors should investigate. 1:18:00.160 --> 1:18:02.360 So you mentioned they have the job of investigating this, 1:18:02.439 --> 1:18:04.639 and they won't do it. They also have the main 1:18:04.760 --> 1:18:06.559 job the Congress has, as you know, is to pass 1:18:06.560 --> 1:18:09.559 a budget. We haven't had one of those in my lifetime, 1:18:09.600 --> 1:18:11.839 I think, And right now we have a partial government shutdown. 1:18:11.880 --> 1:18:14.200 So how's this looking as as as you want and 1:18:14.240 --> 1:18:16.639 getting stuff done? I say it ain't looking pretty good, Bete. 1:18:17.720 --> 1:18:18.519 I agree with you. 1:18:18.680 --> 1:18:21.160 Good And that's part of the issue, isn't it that 1:18:21.360 --> 1:18:24.720 at this point in our nation's history, here on the 1:18:24.760 --> 1:18:28.880 two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our nation's founding, and 1:18:29.320 --> 1:18:32.000 the system's not working the way it's intended to. There's 1:18:32.000 --> 1:18:33.439 a lot of reasons for that, but I'm not a 1:18:33.479 --> 1:18:37.000 political scientist. But what my goal and the goal of 1:18:37.120 --> 1:18:40.799 everyone at Epstein's Justice is to get the system working 1:18:40.920 --> 1:18:45.080 as intended for this sole purpose, to protect our children, 1:18:45.640 --> 1:18:49.439 to bring some justice to the children now women who 1:18:49.520 --> 1:18:53.680 were abused by Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful cronies, and 1:18:53.840 --> 1:18:56.880 to prevent our children from being picked up off the 1:18:56.960 --> 1:19:02.800 streets by billionaires satual desires and then being raped with 1:19:03.080 --> 1:19:07.760 impunity and without consequence, which is what happened in this case, right, 1:19:07.920 --> 1:19:10.000 And that's horrifying to think and consider, but. 1:19:10.000 --> 1:19:10.479 It's a fact. 1:19:10.720 --> 1:19:14.080 Peachin from Epstein Justice dot com about the three million pages, 1:19:14.160 --> 1:19:17.040 the videos, of the hundreds of thousands of images that 1:19:17.120 --> 1:19:19.559 were released on Friday, and there's some just jaw dropping 1:19:19.640 --> 1:19:23.760 allegations in here. One of those includes the Clinton's and 1:19:25.080 --> 1:19:27.240 Clinton said, hey, I never sent emails. We have no 1:19:27.280 --> 1:19:29.880 idea what's going on. But in this latest trange we 1:19:30.040 --> 1:19:33.280 found that literally dozens and dozens of emails were exchanged 1:19:33.280 --> 1:19:37.160 between his staffers and Elaine Maxwell from twenty two thousand 1:19:37.160 --> 1:19:39.200 and one to two thousand and four that Clinton flew 1:19:39.240 --> 1:19:42.280 on Epstein's plane at least at least at the minimum 1:19:42.360 --> 1:19:45.760 sixteen times, and she Maxwell herself was pretty flirtatious in 1:19:45.760 --> 1:19:49.240 the emails. As I mentioned that, in the fact, there 1:19:49.280 --> 1:19:51.160 doesn't that email pattern tell us about the nature of 1:19:51.200 --> 1:19:53.120 these relationships A. 1:19:53.240 --> 1:19:57.640 Dozen indeed, Scott, you know you're What it displays is 1:19:57.800 --> 1:20:03.400 a familiarity just with Epstein the person, But it displays 1:20:03.439 --> 1:20:04.880 a familiarity with a. 1:20:05.040 --> 1:20:06.320 Lifestyle, doesn't it. 1:20:06.840 --> 1:20:10.120 This person is in the words of Larry Summer's lush, 1:20:11.360 --> 1:20:16.880 he's lascivious. People knew all about Jeffrey Epstein, these wealthy people. 1:20:17.160 --> 1:20:19.400 You know, one thing you might just ask yourself, just 1:20:20.680 --> 1:20:24.240 asually is how could he consider how could he continue 1:20:24.320 --> 1:20:28.160 to be banked after he's a convicted sex offender or 1:20:28.160 --> 1:20:31.479 a registered set offender. Yes, of course these chargers are 1:20:31.720 --> 1:20:36.000 relatively minor, but nevertheless they're still felonies. How would he 1:20:36.080 --> 1:20:38.720 continued to be able to be banked by someone like 1:20:39.080 --> 1:20:43.479 JP Morgan for years after he was a convicted sex offender. 1:20:44.000 --> 1:20:50.440 Everybody turned a blind eye to his capture, his exploitation, 1:20:51.000 --> 1:20:54.280 and his sexual assault of children. They turned a blind 1:20:54.360 --> 1:20:58.000 eye because they had similar proclivities. Okay, maybe they like 1:20:58.120 --> 1:21:01.160 to wait until they were nineteen or eighteen years in 1:21:01.280 --> 1:21:06.000 one day, but nevertheless, they understood that Epstein might cross 1:21:06.080 --> 1:21:09.559 that line, and they didn't care in part because perhaps 1:21:09.760 --> 1:21:13.880 we don't know they shared his very same criminal prosuvity. 1:21:14.000 --> 1:21:16.360 Sure, if only someone would look into. 1:21:16.200 --> 1:21:20.639 It, which is why we have this standoff. There's nothing 1:21:20.680 --> 1:21:22.519 to see here, nothing to see here. It's because when 1:21:22.560 --> 1:21:25.600 it's if it's solely one side or the other, you know, 1:21:25.720 --> 1:21:28.080 team B goes against team A and vice versa. But 1:21:28.160 --> 1:21:31.000 when A and B are all involved in the scandal, 1:21:31.320 --> 1:21:33.160 that's a little bit different, and it goes to show 1:21:33.200 --> 1:21:35.800 you where the real power is. One thing came out 1:21:35.840 --> 1:21:38.439 of this, and this has the potential for even bigger scandal. 1:21:38.520 --> 1:21:40.760 We call an America black mail. The Russians call a 1:21:40.840 --> 1:21:44.800 compromat with a K, and that is that the allegations 1:21:44.840 --> 1:21:48.120 involving Bill Gates getting an STD from Russian girls, well 1:21:48.200 --> 1:21:51.000 Russian we're the Russian girls from him, allegedly supplied by 1:21:51.080 --> 1:21:55.360 Putin in Russia to Epstein's island with the ideas that now, 1:21:55.640 --> 1:21:58.200 now we have black mamotill on these people, how likely 1:21:58.320 --> 1:21:58.920 is that scenario. 1:22:01.000 --> 1:22:04.080 It's as likely as any other scott And in fact 1:22:04.160 --> 1:22:07.960 it's more likely because what's not very often discussed in 1:22:08.040 --> 1:22:12.080 America media, but is very often discussed in the British 1:22:12.160 --> 1:22:15.879 media is the fact that Delaying Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell, 1:22:15.920 --> 1:22:21.040 a noted British publisher, was also well known to be 1:22:21.320 --> 1:22:26.720 a MASAD intelligence agent, an Israeli intelligence agents, and so 1:22:27.000 --> 1:22:33.000 there's questions about, hey, was Jeffrey Epstein connected to US, Russian, 1:22:34.040 --> 1:22:35.360 Israeli intelligence? 1:22:35.520 --> 1:22:38.000 All three the CIA, none of them. 1:22:38.160 --> 1:22:39.120 We don't really know. 1:22:39.479 --> 1:22:39.639 Now. 1:22:40.040 --> 1:22:42.800 Historically speaking, I'm a historian in part I have a 1:22:42.880 --> 1:22:46.040 master's degree in military history. And the fact of the 1:22:46.120 --> 1:22:50.360 matter is is that historically speaking, our own intelligence services 1:22:50.800 --> 1:22:53.960 have done such things as fed US citizens LSD and 1:22:54.120 --> 1:22:57.200 Canadian citizens LSD just to see if they could get 1:22:57.240 --> 1:22:59.720 a truth serum. That's one of the things that the 1:22:59.800 --> 1:23:03.880 True Commission revealed in nineteen seventy seven. Supposedly we stomped 1:23:03.920 --> 1:23:06.040 all of those illicted activities out, but what if we 1:23:06.160 --> 1:23:10.519 didn't got What if our intelligence agencies are responsible for 1:23:10.640 --> 1:23:15.360 running a honey pot blackmail slash compliment operation to control 1:23:15.400 --> 1:23:18.559 our own federal government. It's as likely as a foreign 1:23:18.640 --> 1:23:23.240 government doing it grankly, and we have no investigation. In fact, 1:23:23.240 --> 1:23:26.280 what we've been told is that there's nothing to investigate. 1:23:27.240 --> 1:23:30.880 Like a John Clancy, John Grisham, Stephen King novel for 1:23:31.000 --> 1:23:33.519 crying out loud. And you don't want to think about this, 1:23:33.880 --> 1:23:36.560 so real quick before I let you go peachin what 1:23:36.720 --> 1:23:40.679 happens next? You at Epstein Justice are putting tremendous pressure 1:23:40.840 --> 1:23:43.080 for the guilty to become convicted or at least go 1:23:43.120 --> 1:23:47.120 to trial, to again fight for justice for these young 1:23:47.160 --> 1:23:49.840 women who are victimized over the years. Well, you know 1:23:50.040 --> 1:23:53.880 that that's the optimistic side. What is the reality here, Pete? 1:23:53.920 --> 1:23:55.240 I mean, is anything going to come with this? 1:23:56.840 --> 1:23:57.080 Yes? 1:23:57.800 --> 1:23:58.439 I believe that. 1:23:58.479 --> 1:24:01.160 Three is gone, and I'll tell you why, Al Suddy. 1:24:01.280 --> 1:24:03.880 More of has come of this than I could ever 1:24:04.040 --> 1:24:09.360 have possibly imagined. When I reached out to Epstein Justices 1:24:09.439 --> 1:24:13.320 director Nick Bryant back in twenty nineteen and said, hey, 1:24:13.720 --> 1:24:15.639 you know, do you have a can we talk about 1:24:15.680 --> 1:24:19.280 the Franklin scandal, which was another situation in Omaha that 1:24:19.439 --> 1:24:22.720 ended very unhappily for everybody who tried to bring a 1:24:22.840 --> 1:24:24.840 child sex abuse network to justice. 1:24:24.880 --> 1:24:25.920 It didn't work out. 1:24:26.080 --> 1:24:29.120 Everybody walked away and the only people that got punished 1:24:29.120 --> 1:24:31.799 with the victims that happened in Omaha in the eighties 1:24:31.840 --> 1:24:35.400 and early nineties. And so Nick and I have been 1:24:35.439 --> 1:24:39.719 working on this together for years across across both Democrat 1:24:39.800 --> 1:24:44.160 and Republican administrations. It's a nonpartisan effort. And what happens 1:24:44.240 --> 1:24:47.040 next is we continue to work on it. We continue 1:24:47.080 --> 1:24:51.920 to point out that the American people are living in 1:24:51.960 --> 1:24:55.120 a republic that may well be controlled by intelligence agencies, 1:24:55.200 --> 1:24:58.920 foreign ornamenttic we don't even know. And we're going to 1:24:59.040 --> 1:25:02.360 keep working on this until we get not just justice, 1:25:02.640 --> 1:25:04.920 Scott for the victims, which is of course the most 1:25:04.920 --> 1:25:08.200 important thing, but it's impossible to get that justice without 1:25:08.280 --> 1:25:10.439 first getting the truth. And we're going to keep fighting 1:25:10.520 --> 1:25:13.000 for it until the truth ultimately is revealed. 1:25:13.120 --> 1:25:13.320 Hope. 1:25:13.360 --> 1:25:16.519 So all the best, Peach chinover at Epstein Justice dot 1:25:16.600 --> 1:25:18.960 com for all the latest click over there, Pete.

A Huenio Suarez is now a Red, 1:25:43.640 --> 1:25:45.840 adding some much needed power in the middle of that lineup. 1:25:45.840 --> 1:25:48.160 How it all fits together? Jeff Carr from Lockdown Reds 1:25:48.240 --> 1:25:51.000 next on seven hundred WLW Scott slunha. 1:25:51.479 --> 1:25:53.360 Sloany here, seven hundred w old editor. 1:25:53.479 --> 1:25:56.280 Never mind the deep, deep deep freeze we're in right 1:25:56.360 --> 1:25:59.320 now and have been for a week in the foreseeable future. 1:25:59.400 --> 1:26:01.559 Never mind about the snow moving in tomorrow.

You know, I think some fans may look 1:26:57.439 --> 1:26:58.920 at it go well, if you wait long enough, you 1:26:59.000 --> 1:27:01.439 get you know, he went Suarez coming back in the 1:27:01.720 --> 1:27:06.200 twilight of his career perhaps, and that's more of a hey, 1:27:06.600 --> 1:27:08.960 let's bring back somebody more familiar, as opposed to going 1:27:09.040 --> 1:27:11.760 and getting someone who could really wind up getting a 1:27:11.840 --> 1:27:14.200 pennant or dare I say, a World Series trophy. 1:27:14.280 --> 1:27:15.559 So what does this all mean. 1:27:15.960 --> 1:27:18.240 It's a good fit, clearly he was here before, but 1:27:18.479 --> 1:27:20.200 is this just simply hey, this is the best we 1:27:20.280 --> 1:27:21.200 can afford right now? 1:27:22.120 --> 1:27:24.000 And it's more about nostalgia than his production. 1:27:25.040 --> 1:27:27.840 There's a very weird cross section that the Reds are 1:27:27.880 --> 1:27:30.640 running into with this and that, yes, he is the 1:27:30.720 --> 1:27:33.200 best that they can afford, but honestly, he's a really 1:27:33.400 --> 1:27:36.639 good upgrade. We're talking about a dude that, between Arizona 1:27:36.680 --> 1:27:39.400 and Seattle last year hit forty nine home runs and 1:27:39.479 --> 1:27:41.240 had over one hundred and ten rs. I think he 1:27:41.280 --> 1:27:44.360 had one hundred and eighteen specifically, and he slugged over 1:27:44.479 --> 1:27:48.479 five hundred. No regular Reds player did that. You have 1:27:48.680 --> 1:27:51.880 to like separate out guys that played in like thirty 1:27:52.000 --> 1:27:54.840 games or something like that to say, okay, well he 1:27:54.960 --> 1:27:57.479 had a really good slugging percentage. There's a lot of 1:27:57.560 --> 1:28:01.360 singles hitters on this lineup. Last year, while the idea 1:28:01.640 --> 1:28:04.799 was to keep the line moving forward, that idea produced 1:28:04.840 --> 1:28:08.479 a very mid offense. The Dolphins wasn't horrible. The lineup 1:28:08.560 --> 1:28:11.200 was not horrible last year, but the lineup also wasn't good. 1:28:11.560 --> 1:28:14.599 And if you just have a slightly above average lineup, 1:28:15.160 --> 1:28:19.040 you can reduce the kind of runs that this pitching 1:28:19.160 --> 1:28:25.560 staff that is absolutely October ready can really back up strongly. 1:28:25.640 --> 1:28:28.080 And so you bring in au Haneo Suarez to protect 1:28:28.160 --> 1:28:30.720 Elie de la Cruz and you slot him in right 1:28:30.800 --> 1:28:32.800 behind him, whether that be in the three spot of 1:28:32.840 --> 1:28:35.799 the four spot, and the rest of the lineup begins 1:28:35.880 --> 1:28:38.840 to make sense. You don't have to force a square 1:28:38.880 --> 1:28:41.439 peg into a round hole and put Spencer Steer or 1:28:41.520 --> 1:28:45.479 Tyler Stevensoner or even force south Stewart into the cleanup 1:28:45.560 --> 1:28:49.200 spot prematurely. You can let those guys be those guys 1:28:49.640 --> 1:28:52.040 other spots on the lineup, while you have this veteran 1:28:52.160 --> 1:28:55.160 dude who was coming here to do one Thing's loney. 1:28:55.200 --> 1:28:57.680 He's coming here to hit danyers yep, and he's been 1:28:57.720 --> 1:28:58.519 pretty good at doing that. 1:28:58.680 --> 1:29:01.320 Pretty good at that, don't him for his defense? Not 1:29:01.439 --> 1:29:03.920 really a good third base, third basement. I may I 1:29:04.000 --> 1:29:06.400 got a pinch, Maybe you can play. Uh does it 1:29:06.439 --> 1:29:08.040 concern you the highest strikeout rate. 1:29:09.280 --> 1:29:11.920 Now, because that's the game today, and that's something that 1:29:12.000 --> 1:29:14.759 other people had talked about. Between strikeout rates and between 1:29:15.240 --> 1:29:17.400 batting average is the only hit two twenty eight last 1:29:17.479 --> 1:29:20.080 year as far as the game itself, that's just how 1:29:20.120 --> 1:29:23.280 everything has moved. The league average batting average last year 1:29:23.360 --> 1:29:26.760 was two forty one, so he was still slightly below it, 1:29:26.920 --> 1:29:29.880 but he wasn't like egregiously below it as we would 1:29:29.880 --> 1:29:32.280 have seen in years past that that two twenty eight 1:29:32.360 --> 1:29:36.240 mark means. So the line is kind of moved when 1:29:36.280 --> 1:29:38.479 it comes to those things. But he is an extra 1:29:38.640 --> 1:29:39.719 base hitting machine. 1:29:40.080 --> 1:29:42.519 Yeah, you got the improved bullpen, he got depth in 1:29:42.600 --> 1:29:44.080 the outfield, and now you've got a guy in the 1:29:44.120 --> 1:29:45.640 middle of the order that can really help out. You 1:29:45.720 --> 1:29:48.640 mentioned protecting La de la Cruz. Joey Vado when he 1:29:48.760 --> 1:29:50.680 played with him, said he was the best teammate ever, 1:29:51.720 --> 1:29:54.760 and now it is a veteran he comes back to Cincinnati, 1:29:54.960 --> 1:29:57.080 and I think that's another thing he provides because clearly 1:29:57.160 --> 1:29:59.200 somebody like Ellie needs a little direction and needs a 1:29:59.200 --> 1:30:01.200 little guidance and made he's the guy to get in 1:30:01.280 --> 1:30:02.080 the clubhouse and do that. 1:30:03.439 --> 1:30:06.599 Overall. Absolutely, like I feel like at Reds Fest, they're 1:30:06.600 --> 1:30:09.120 really pumped up Matt McClain to make him sound as 1:30:09.160 --> 1:30:12.000 though he's one of the leaders of this ball club. 1:30:12.040 --> 1:30:14.680 But I think that au Haanio Suarez, no matter who 1:30:14.800 --> 1:30:17.040 you deem, is the current leader to the ball club. 1:30:17.240 --> 1:30:19.400 Auan Suarez is going to come in and fit right 1:30:19.479 --> 1:30:22.400 in with that dude. It's been said no matter where 1:30:22.560 --> 1:30:25.639 he has played ever since he left the Reds, they've 1:30:25.640 --> 1:30:28.480 all loved him. I mean, Seattle wanted to back this offseason. 1:30:28.800 --> 1:30:31.920 Arizona at least approached it a little bit. But Arizona's 1:30:31.960 --> 1:30:34.200 kind of in a weird spot where it's like there's 1:30:34.200 --> 1:30:38.160 a sort of contending sort of not but everybody sings 1:30:38.240 --> 1:30:41.280 his praises as far as the clubhouse guy goes, and 1:30:41.400 --> 1:30:43.120 he brings the sort of value to that that you 1:30:43.240 --> 1:30:45.320 can't measure with the numbers, and I think that that 1:30:45.880 --> 1:30:47.960 in and of itself will provide plenty of value for. 1:30:48.000 --> 1:30:49.800 This Yeah, in as far as injuries, you don't have 1:30:49.840 --> 1:30:52.320 to worry as much because he'd be solding in a DHRL. 1:30:53.680 --> 1:30:53.840 Right. 1:30:54.160 --> 1:30:56.480 I think there's going to be just like a sprinkling 1:30:56.600 --> 1:30:58.680 of time first base here in spring training to see 1:30:58.680 --> 1:31:00.880 if that's something he can do. And there's going to 1:31:00.920 --> 1:31:03.400 be just the inklean of time at third base. But 1:31:03.479 --> 1:31:05.639 they have key Brian Hayes over there, right, which, now 1:31:05.760 --> 1:31:08.240 that you have a guy that can mash in the 1:31:08.360 --> 1:31:10.639 DH spot, you can stomach of it on like hitting 1:31:10.720 --> 1:31:13.640 third basement a little bit more. I think that this 1:31:13.960 --> 1:31:17.320 move all around, like we've been critical all off season 1:31:17.360 --> 1:31:20.000 on the lockdown Reds podcast of what the front office 1:31:20.000 --> 1:31:23.360 has been doing. But this was the move to flip 1:31:23.479 --> 1:31:25.320 that narrative, and now it feels like the Reds have 1:31:25.400 --> 1:31:27.400 had a very good off season, even though it took 1:31:27.479 --> 1:31:28.479 two months to get to this. 1:31:28.800 --> 1:31:31.960 Right right, He's Jeff Carr with Lockdown regis Only Daily 1:31:32.080 --> 1:31:34.799 Reds podcast. Of course, the big news dropping late yesterday 1:31:34.920 --> 1:31:37.080 is the fact that the former Red A Huanu Suarez, 1:31:37.120 --> 1:31:39.840 is bringing his bats some forty nine home runs to 1:31:40.000 --> 1:31:42.519 Great American Ballpark, adding some meat to the heart of 1:31:42.560 --> 1:31:45.559 the order, which is certainly going to cause a lot 1:31:45.600 --> 1:31:47.719 of Reds fans waking up this morning to be joyful 1:31:47.760 --> 1:31:50.280 and getting ready for the snow to melt the temperatures 1:31:50.400 --> 1:31:53.320 go up in baseball. Back at GABP, the Reds are 1:31:53.400 --> 1:31:56.160 projected to have Jeff only I think three million left 1:31:56.200 --> 1:31:58.840 before they hit their payroll ceiling. They slined Souarez to 1:31:58.960 --> 1:32:03.000 fifteen no salary dumps. For those who are critical, maybe 1:32:03.120 --> 1:32:07.000 like yourself, of the Reds and their spending, does this change? 1:32:07.280 --> 1:32:08.880 Does this look like they change their philosophy? 1:32:09.000 --> 1:32:11.960 Someone I saw that. 1:32:12.080 --> 1:32:15.200 Charlie Goldsmith reported last night that according to sources, the 1:32:15.280 --> 1:32:19.240 Reds don't have to make a move to quote, you know, 1:32:19.479 --> 1:32:24.200 afford this. They are making an effort to finally put 1:32:24.240 --> 1:32:27.439 together a winner and spend what it takes to do that. 1:32:27.560 --> 1:32:29.600 And now that doesn't necessarily mean they're going to go 1:32:29.680 --> 1:32:31.639 out and throw three hundred million dollars at the free 1:32:31.680 --> 1:32:35.320 agent list, but they know that there's a couple of 1:32:35.360 --> 1:32:37.680 supplemental areas that they can make this team better. And 1:32:37.760 --> 1:32:39.720 we've been saying it all off season two that it's like, 1:32:40.200 --> 1:32:42.360 you don't have to rebuild the lineup, you just have 1:32:42.560 --> 1:32:45.479 to bring in a bopper, because the bopper is what 1:32:45.680 --> 1:32:48.679 makes this lineup makes sense. They don't have that guy currently, 1:32:49.040 --> 1:32:52.000 and while south Stewart could very well develop into that guy, 1:32:52.479 --> 1:32:56.439 I think it's stuper wise and a very big deviation 1:32:56.680 --> 1:33:00.280 from who their character has been over the last already 1:33:00.320 --> 1:33:03.000 plus years that the Reds are not saying, well, yes, 1:33:03.160 --> 1:33:05.840 that's what we're betting on. We're betting on some unproven 1:33:06.000 --> 1:33:09.080 guy to come in here and prove it. They're gonna say, yeah, 1:33:09.120 --> 1:33:11.479 sure he can prove it, but we also have a 1:33:11.600 --> 1:33:14.040 proven guy that can back him up. But I think 1:33:14.080 --> 1:33:17.720 that this this has been such a shift, this one move, 1:33:18.240 --> 1:33:22.280 that I don't necessarily believe was going to happen until 1:33:22.479 --> 1:33:25.640 some things fell into place because the markets moved in 1:33:25.760 --> 1:33:29.080 such a way, like reportedly the Boston Red Sox were 1:33:29.120 --> 1:33:31.160 looking to sign the you Hani as far as the 1:33:31.240 --> 1:33:35.000 Pittsburgh Pirates had noted, like reported that they were going 1:33:35.080 --> 1:33:37.880 to match or beat any offer that the Reds had, 1:33:38.479 --> 1:33:41.920 and Gino was like, nope, I'm going to Cincinnati. So 1:33:42.000 --> 1:33:44.439 I think there was a little bit of familiarity in 1:33:44.520 --> 1:33:47.360 there and a little bit of he just wasn't getting 1:33:47.400 --> 1:33:49.560 the offers he wanted, and so he's like, let me 1:33:49.640 --> 1:33:51.519 go back to the place that I already hit forty 1:33:51.600 --> 1:33:53.640 nine at Let's see if we hit fifty nine or 1:33:53.800 --> 1:33:55.960 sixty nine. Who that man here? 1:33:56.280 --> 1:33:57.960 And then we'll see what they pay me next year? 1:33:58.040 --> 1:33:59.960 Okay? And that brings up the next question. 1:34:00.080 --> 1:34:03.719 And then Jeff is because he's doing one year, fifteen million, 1:34:04.240 --> 1:34:06.839 a mutual option for twenty twenty seven, So okay, fifteen 1:34:06.880 --> 1:34:09.479 MILLI season. Initially I thought I saw that he was 1:34:09.560 --> 1:34:12.800 projected to get a two year minimum two year deal 1:34:12.840 --> 1:34:15.519 a forty five million, So he's living a lot of 1:34:15.560 --> 1:34:17.519 money on the table. What does that tell is a 1:34:17.560 --> 1:34:20.280 tremendous value or is it a concerned to the market collapse. 1:34:20.320 --> 1:34:22.240 I mean, if all these teams are after him, why 1:34:22.320 --> 1:34:23.519 do we only get him for fifteen? 1:34:24.600 --> 1:34:27.639 A guy with his type of profile Sloani like, thinking 1:34:27.840 --> 1:34:31.360 just specifically in terms of the player, is probably looking 1:34:31.439 --> 1:34:33.960 for his final dealer of his career, and he wasn't 1:34:34.000 --> 1:34:36.600 getting that. He wasn't getting the kind of offer that 1:34:36.720 --> 1:34:38.479 he's like, all right, I can hang my hat here 1:34:39.040 --> 1:34:41.240 and then, you know, make sure that this is good 1:34:41.320 --> 1:34:44.120 to go and at the end of my career I 1:34:44.160 --> 1:34:46.799 can be happy about this. I think he was probably 1:34:46.920 --> 1:34:49.600 getting that two year deal where he probably won in 1:34:49.680 --> 1:34:52.000 three or four, because you're right, I saw lots of 1:34:52.560 --> 1:34:55.080 twenty four twenty five million dollars a year. I did 1:34:55.160 --> 1:34:58.200 at one point see somebody project a three year deal 1:34:58.280 --> 1:35:00.840 for twenty million per The fact that the Reds got 1:35:00.880 --> 1:35:04.200 him at fifteen is just so phenomenal, and it's the 1:35:04.280 --> 1:35:06.599 kind of deal that as I look around the league 1:35:06.640 --> 1:35:08.600 and I look at the coverage that other teams have 1:35:09.600 --> 1:35:12.880 pretty much every team. I even saw something about the 1:35:12.960 --> 1:35:15.120 Mets that they're just like boy, looking at the Jorgey 1:35:15.200 --> 1:35:17.920 Polanco deal that the New York Mets signed early on 1:35:18.040 --> 1:35:20.560 in the off season, that looks pretty bad now with 1:35:20.680 --> 1:35:24.000 Ayu Hami Osuarez signing what he did, So like everybody 1:35:24.120 --> 1:35:26.880 is invious of the Reds? Is that right to say? 1:35:26.920 --> 1:35:30.400 Can I say yeah, to say that people are envious 1:35:30.479 --> 1:35:32.240 of the Reds and an off season, Oh. 1:35:32.200 --> 1:35:34.120 You got a thirty four year old DH and but 1:35:34.400 --> 1:35:37.360 you know one year deal is like that. That's a 1:35:37.400 --> 1:35:39.240 no brain risk, no risk, no risk. 1:35:40.040 --> 1:35:42.080 And that's the one thing that I've always wondered about 1:35:42.160 --> 1:35:45.000 Nick Krawl is that can he make that big risky move? 1:35:45.200 --> 1:35:47.160 But if there's moves like this that are available that 1:35:47.280 --> 1:35:49.640 aren't risky, how can you blame a guy for not 1:35:49.760 --> 1:35:51.839 going too crazy on the risk department? 1:35:52.680 --> 1:35:56.320 Yeah, the other concern I mentioned the batting average too, 1:35:56.439 --> 1:35:58.479 But you know you got to get past the Dodgers. 1:35:58.520 --> 1:35:59.679 It all runs through the Dodgers. 1:35:59.720 --> 1:35:59.840 Now. 1:36:00.200 --> 1:36:02.040 Again, I'm not going to be dismissive of the Cubs 1:36:02.080 --> 1:36:04.040 and the Brewers at this point or anyone in the division, 1:36:04.479 --> 1:36:06.920 but we saw what they did last season. Arguably a 1:36:07.000 --> 1:36:09.600 much better team now than they were in October. Not 1:36:09.680 --> 1:36:11.479 only was Suarez, what they've done with a bullpen and 1:36:11.520 --> 1:36:15.920 everything else, and is what sub three hundred on base 1:36:15.960 --> 1:36:19.280 percentage is concerning for a guy they're expecting these. 1:36:19.280 --> 1:36:20.080 Kind of results out of. 1:36:20.360 --> 1:36:21.679 But I look at it go you know, the Dodgers 1:36:21.680 --> 1:36:24.160 struck out the Reds what fifty four times in four games, 1:36:24.280 --> 1:36:26.880 and Chavez ravine this doesn't really. 1:36:26.800 --> 1:36:27.160 Help that. 1:36:29.040 --> 1:36:32.080 The strikeout part is something that I don't necessarily worry 1:36:32.120 --> 1:36:34.080 about because he can change the game with one swing, 1:36:34.840 --> 1:36:38.000 just because I feel like it's the power game that 1:36:38.160 --> 1:36:40.960 the Reds have missed. The idea that the rally can 1:36:41.080 --> 1:36:43.280 be built is always a good thing, But at some 1:36:43.400 --> 1:36:45.800 point you run into a picture like Yamamoto who is 1:36:45.920 --> 1:36:50.120 absolutely dealing, and you need that guy that with one swing. 1:36:49.960 --> 1:36:51.719 In the back can change the game. 1:36:52.080 --> 1:36:54.560 And we know that Gino can do that. So I 1:36:54.640 --> 1:36:58.360 mean I ordinarily, looking at a guy with a sub 1:36:58.400 --> 1:37:02.240 three hundred on base percentage, you kind of going yeah, right, yeah. 1:37:03.160 --> 1:37:05.560 So I don't blame you there for thinking that. But 1:37:05.760 --> 1:37:08.639 I am just absolutely over the moon about the five 1:37:08.760 --> 1:37:12.400 twenty eight plugging percentage and the fact that the isolated 1:37:12.520 --> 1:37:14.680 power statistic that a lot of folks like to use 1:37:14.720 --> 1:37:17.800 because it's the slugging percentage minus the batting average. The 1:37:17.960 --> 1:37:21.000 idea of separating the extra he sits out from the 1:37:21.080 --> 1:37:26.400 singles his career isolated powers to eighteen. There was no 1:37:26.840 --> 1:37:31.080 regular reds hitter last year over two hundred. That's how 1:37:31.240 --> 1:37:34.080 much better than everyone else in this lineup he was 1:37:34.360 --> 1:37:36.280 at getting those extra bases. 1:37:36.120 --> 1:37:38.440 Right right, And now you've got some little more flexibility 1:37:38.439 --> 1:37:40.040 and a lineup two on the other side of the thing, 1:37:40.080 --> 1:37:42.240 and primarily at the age as you mentioned salth Stewart 1:37:42.240 --> 1:37:45.280 at first, Spencer Steart left. There's there's a lot of 1:37:45.320 --> 1:37:47.719 flexibility there because you still got guys like Hayes and Benson. 1:37:49.040 --> 1:37:53.719 And that's a very underrated part of this move because 1:37:53.960 --> 1:37:57.400 up until Augenio Suarez signed, you can maybe squint at 1:37:57.439 --> 1:38:00.920 the lineup and be like, twell, all right, but the bench, 1:38:01.240 --> 1:38:04.800 oh my gosh, I don't even know what the plan 1:38:05.040 --> 1:38:06.960 was there. But now today eu Haeneo Suarez is here. 1:38:07.040 --> 1:38:09.880 You used the positional versatility of both south Stewart and 1:38:10.080 --> 1:38:12.840 Spencer Steer, where one can play in the outfield, one 1:38:12.840 --> 1:38:15.560 can play pretty much every infield spot. And you know 1:38:15.720 --> 1:38:18.760 South Sport also losing twenty six pounds from last year. 1:38:18.960 --> 1:38:20.640 Your last image of him on the field in a 1:38:20.680 --> 1:38:23.320 Red's uniform, it's gonna look a lot different on opening 1:38:23.400 --> 1:38:26.000 day because dude's trimmed down and he's ready to go. 1:38:26.200 --> 1:38:31.000 So I feel like this both improved the starting lineup 1:38:31.080 --> 1:38:33.960 and the bench just simply because of how it changes 1:38:34.040 --> 1:38:35.719 the role of guys like Steer and Stewart. 1:38:35.960 --> 1:38:38.639 Yeah, but I like my sales Stewart thick and chunky. 1:38:40.560 --> 1:38:42.080 I mean, I didn't tell it, guys. 1:38:42.120 --> 1:38:43.960 It makes me feel like I could fit into his 1:38:44.120 --> 1:38:46.680 uniform AND's done a whole lot of players that I 1:38:46.800 --> 1:38:47.400 feel that way. 1:38:47.600 --> 1:38:50.200 That's the guy. He's like, you know, it's like he's 1:38:50.240 --> 1:38:52.439 the every guy guy. I like Sales Stewart that way, 1:38:52.960 --> 1:38:58.720 and not enough Mike Ford's in this world the man. 1:38:58.800 --> 1:39:03.120 Come on, Yeah, I appreciate it, right right, He's like that. 1:39:03.200 --> 1:39:05.680 Gives us all hope all you know, you get that 1:39:05.760 --> 1:39:08.240 little thick Middlesex. It's like, hey, he's a baseball player, 1:39:08.479 --> 1:39:10.920 as John Cruxa. Lady, I'm not an athlete. I'm a 1:39:10.960 --> 1:39:14.920 baseball player. So yeah, I mean, there is now hope 1:39:14.960 --> 1:39:17.960 in Red. So it's amazing how signing a Suarez has 1:39:18.080 --> 1:39:21.240 changed the hope's dreams and desires of regination and one 1:39:21.320 --> 1:39:23.519 fell swoop and they did it pretty much on the 1:39:23.600 --> 1:39:25.240 cheap at this point. Now, I know the payroll you 1:39:25.280 --> 1:39:28.040 go back to that they're twenty twenty five pro. I 1:39:28.120 --> 1:39:31.160 think it is one nineteen hundred and nineteen million. Is 1:39:31.240 --> 1:39:33.720 this a new trend do you think? Or again, it's 1:39:33.760 --> 1:39:35.920 always hard to read with one player, But is it 1:39:36.000 --> 1:39:38.080 a one is it a one off because it's Juarez 1:39:38.439 --> 1:39:39.920 or do you just see them going, hey, you know what, 1:39:40.120 --> 1:39:41.719 we're close, let's get closer. 1:39:43.080 --> 1:39:45.639 I still think it's it's the close let's get closer 1:39:45.760 --> 1:39:48.800 that I'm willing to buy into that feeling. Albeit that's 1:39:48.840 --> 1:39:52.240 not been something that we've seen from this organization over 1:39:52.280 --> 1:39:55.839 the years. I understand that. But the signing of ating 1:39:55.880 --> 1:39:58.160 of Sours could have easily been something that they're like, 1:39:58.280 --> 1:40:00.880 you know what, we don't need. There's these other guys 1:40:00.960 --> 1:40:03.799 that are a tier below him and a lot cheaper 1:40:03.880 --> 1:40:06.320 than him, and we can go bring that guy in. 1:40:06.640 --> 1:40:08.960 And that's what they do. That's what they have done 1:40:09.040 --> 1:40:11.680 my entire life is what it feels like. But I 1:40:12.000 --> 1:40:17.160 saw a comparison to a great one year stent of 1:40:17.240 --> 1:40:20.120 a red in Greg Vaughan that somebody made for the 1:40:20.200 --> 1:40:22.720 se u Haano Suarez deal. And if that's what that 1:40:22.840 --> 1:40:25.800 turns into, then hopefully they can just build on that 1:40:25.920 --> 1:40:28.480 further because there's a lot of dead money in Jammercandelario 1:40:28.560 --> 1:40:30.920 coming off the book next year that is currently on 1:40:30.960 --> 1:40:33.920 the books this year. So there's a belief that this 1:40:34.080 --> 1:40:36.960 could continue. But at the same time, they know they've 1:40:37.040 --> 1:40:39.439 got their stars on the cheap. The core is cheap 1:40:39.520 --> 1:40:41.920 right now, so let's go ahead and supplement that core 1:40:42.400 --> 1:40:44.880 with a couple of guys like this. And I've been 1:40:44.920 --> 1:40:46.760 saying it all off season. If it just made this 1:40:46.880 --> 1:40:49.840 one move, I would feel better about things. Could they 1:40:49.920 --> 1:40:53.560 make more moves and I'd feel even better better than Yes. Absolutely, 1:40:53.680 --> 1:40:56.160 But at this point, if they hadn't have made the 1:40:56.240 --> 1:40:58.240 Suarez deal, I'd have been like, well, the off season 1:40:58.479 --> 1:41:01.400 was something, and they made the bullpen better. 1:41:01.520 --> 1:41:03.080 Yeah, they still have a glaring hole. 1:41:02.920 --> 1:41:03.559 In the lineup. 1:41:04.080 --> 1:41:06.200 I don't I don't think that any Yeah, and you 1:41:06.280 --> 1:41:08.280 got Tito running this whole thing, so you're worried about 1:41:08.280 --> 1:41:11.840 guys getting time. He figures that out, which is awesome. 1:41:11.920 --> 1:41:14.160 You've got your bullpennis set now, as you said, the 1:41:14.240 --> 1:41:15.439 road starting rotation is good. 1:41:15.479 --> 1:41:17.479 The outfield we've got depth, You've got a hitter. 1:41:18.640 --> 1:41:20.760 You know, if if the hoping dream was to make 1:41:20.800 --> 1:41:23.160 the playoffs for the first time in forever, and they 1:41:23.240 --> 1:41:25.080 did that last year, got swept of course by LA. 1:41:25.680 --> 1:41:27.800 You'd expect now a little bit more pressure going, Okay, 1:41:27.840 --> 1:41:30.640 we're in, we spent more, Can we get to the 1:41:30.840 --> 1:41:33.519 next round? Can we continue to win more games and 1:41:33.600 --> 1:41:35.560 do better in the postseason and not get you know, 1:41:35.760 --> 1:41:39.360 not get eliminated in a handful of games? And that 1:41:39.520 --> 1:41:41.120 was awful, right, I mean, it was just awful. They 1:41:41.160 --> 1:41:42.920 just got absolutely hammered by the DIY. I just wanted 1:41:42.960 --> 1:41:45.200 to win World Series. So if you're gonna lose, list 1:41:45.240 --> 1:41:46.920 to the champions, but you want to be the champions, 1:41:46.920 --> 1:41:48.000 and this gives a little more hope. 1:41:48.000 --> 1:41:50.200 He's Jeff Carr at the Lockdown Reds. 1:41:50.640 --> 1:41:52.280 I'm sure you're gonna head out to the spring training 1:41:52.560 --> 1:41:55.320 as you're writing about now, getting the bags packed, I 1:41:55.320 --> 1:41:57.160 would think. And so we'll chat check with you from 1:41:57.160 --> 1:41:59.360 time to time out and out in Arizona. Jeff all 1:41:59.400 --> 1:42:01.120 the best man.
