Speaker 2: for joining us here.

22
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 3: Oh thanks for having me.

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 4: Good tuck to you. I saw this a couple of

24
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 4: weeks so I wanted to talk to you about it.

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 2: You guys did a story a couple of weeks ago

26
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: the eight most notable concerts in Cincinnati history that I

27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: enjoyed reading. Tell me how you came up with the

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: eight and then we'll talk about a little bit of them.

29
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

30
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: Well, my colleague Cadiza was really kind of the one

31
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: working on that, and she asked me to kind of

32
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 3: chip in with some ideas, and so, you know.

33
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 4: She did most of the writing and stuff.

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: But you know, when we were kind of rolled some

35
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: ideas of what are the big concerts, you know, things

36
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: like the Beatles, who are pretty obvious, the Cup tragedy,

37
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: I mean those are major ones, and kind of like

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: chose things that people still talk about, you know, it

39
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: has an impact. And some of them were wild, like

40
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: I can't believe that concert ever happened. And some of

41
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: them are like everyone was there, everyone was talking about it,

42
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: and something like Taylor Swift and you see how the

43
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: media covers it. That's exactly what it was. Like when

44
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 3: the Beatles were here, Beetles were bigger. But you know,

45
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: it's still a comparable. You know that these are the

46
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 3: concerts that people still talk about. And you know there's

47
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 3: plenty more than the eight as all of the readers

48
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: who sent emails and.

49
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 2: You got both Beatles concerts, and there's sixty four and

50
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: sixty six, and I believe the one at crosley Field

51
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: was twenty eight minutes long compared to what they do

52
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: with concerts now, was that a twenty eight minute show?

53
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 3: Yeah? The Beatles shows were very I mean the concerts

54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: were just not as big productions the way they are today.

55
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: You know, the Beatles didn't even have monitors on stage

56
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: to hear the their own music playing, so they couldn't

57
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 3: hear themselves. The people in the pans couldn't hear them,

58
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 3: so they couldn't hear because they were screaming so loud.

59
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 3: So they were out of town. They were playing too fast,

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 3: and they would just play through like twelve songs in

61
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: twenty eight minutes. It was just quick, quick, quick, quick,

62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 3: wick And it was really you know, in the Beatles case,

63
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 3: it was an experience. It was like I got to

64
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 3: see the Beatles live. That's kind of like why you went.

65
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 3: He wasn't to hear the music because he had the

66
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: albums for that. But yeah, it was very different than

67
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 3: the three hour special effects extravaganza as they do today.

68
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: I assume Elvis in nineteen seventy seven, a couple of

69
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: months before he died at Riverfront Coliseum was one of

70
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: those Hey, I saw Elvis kind of concerts.

71
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know.

72
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: From the reports, you know, I had colleagues that have

73
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: had been to some of those shows. Elvis just had

74
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: this rapport about him that you know, when you went

75
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: and saw him, he was like, yeah, that's Elvis, you know,

76
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: like he could put on a good show. I've seen

77
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: the concert footage of some of those later ones, and

78
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: you know he's he's not doing too well, you know,

79
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: but his voice is still incredible, and it's just yeah,

80
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: I get. I mean, I know my my parents, that

81
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: was the one show that they saw when they were younger,

82
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: is when Elvis came to town. They went and saw Elvis.

83
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 4: And here's what I remember.

84
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: Prince nineteen eighty four, he did a surprise show at Bogart's.

85
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 4: Didn't he.

86
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it was it was not announced or anything,

87
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: and you know, Bogart's is a you know, historic venue,

88
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 3: but it's you know, the small venue, and you know,

89
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 3: it was it was just kind of like word of mouth.

90
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: People found out that he was doing a secret show

91
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: to kind of try out his Purple ragin tour, and

92
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: you know it was just if you lucked out to

93
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 3: have been to that show, that was I mean, it

94
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 3: still talked about today.

95
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: We're talking to Jeff Csover the Sassa Chuirer their story

96
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: about the eight biggest greatest concerts in Cincinnati history.

97
00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 4: Grateful Dad.

98
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: This is one that I I missed wasn't living here then,

99
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: but a lot of people don't. I haven't heard a

100
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: lot about this Grateful Dead show in Cincinnati nineteen sixty eight.

101
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 3: I think that's what Jim Tarbell did. And you know,

102
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: Tarboro was one of those movers and shakers in the

103
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: music community back then. You know who I had Arnold's

104
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 3: and Lovelow Garage and you know, and it's amazing how

105
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 3: many of these bands that were before they were big

106
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 3: came through town. So it's Grateful Dead and the Yardbirds, yeah,

107
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: and the uh you know, the doors and some of

108
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 3: these bands had these like small shows that only the

109
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: college kids knew about, and they would do ride up

110
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 3: on it and you'd say like wow. But they were

111
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,679
Speaker 3: at weird places like a teen center or a prom,

112
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: and it's just sort of like The Grateful Dead was

113
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: at this teen center. You know. It was just it

114
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: was an interesting time, I think, I mean before my time.

115
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 4: Yeah.

116
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,240

Speaker 3: who've been there that I talked to, you know, it's

118
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,640

Speaker 4: Okay, oh my pleasure. Thanks for having me.

128
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: The eighth and most notable concerts since the Some of

129
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 2: the other notable ones Jimmy Hendrix at Xavier in sixty eight,

130
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: Jackson five, they were the Gardens in seventy four. You

131
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: two at Bogarts nineteen eighty one, Pink Floyd at Riverfront

132
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: Coliseum in seventy seven, Black Sabbath Riverfront Stadium in seventy eight,

133
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: Stones at Riverfront Stadium in eighty nine. I did get

134
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: to see that when bon Jovi was at the cincinn Gardens.

135
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: Check out Jeff season. This insane choir rates like the

136
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: our history column every Sunday. That's good stuff. I really

137
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 2: like it. Favorite column.

138
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 4: There.

139
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: Roberts are ABC News political analysts in Washington. Steve, let's

140
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: talk about the mid term temperature check is what they're

141
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: calling it this morning.

142
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, they are.

143
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 5: And it's interesting because, you know, Donald Trump has said

144
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 5: repeatedly it doesn't make sense that the president's party almost

145
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 5: always loses seats and off your elections. In twenty of

146
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 5: the last twenty two midterms, the president's party has lost seats.

147
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 5: The only exceptions were nineteen ninety eight, two thousand and

148
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 5: two after the nine to eleven tragedy. Well, the president's

149
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 5: wrong about this. It does make sense. It does make sense.

150
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 5: Think about this, Steve. For instance, in presidential elections, a

151
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 5: magnetic candidate like Trump pulls in a lot of marginal voters.

152
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: He was brilliant in the last election and utilizing you know,

153
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 5: podcasts and TikTok and beyond traditional media to reach a

154
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 5: lot of voters who don't know much about politics, don't

155
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 5: care much about politics, seldom vote. And yet often there

156
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 5: were younger people and he drew them in. But they're

157
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 5: not going to vote next fall, or many of them

158
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 5: won't vote. It's going to be a very different electorate.

159
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 5: And that's always true. I remember two, nineteen eighty two,

160
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 5: I covered Ronald Reagan.

161
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 4: I was covering the Congress of the Times, and.

162
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 5: Reagan lost twenty six seats in eighty two. He was

163
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 5: of an extremely popular president who had won a huge landslide victory.

164
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 5: But exactly that happened. A lot of folks who voted

165
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 5: for Ronald Reagan in nineteen eighty It's not that they

166
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 5: voted democratic in nineteen eighty two.

167
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 4: They just didn't vote. They didn't bother to show up.

168
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 5: And you know, and the second factor that we see

169
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 5: very strongly right now, Steve, is that all presidents, all

170
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 5: presidents make promises they simply cannot keep.

171
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 4: And Donald Trump was classic.

172
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 5: He's classic and over promising by saying I'm going to

173
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 5: bring down prices.

174
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 4: On day one.

175
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 5: Well, it was never going to happen, and his core

176
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 5: supporters understand that up to a point, but it inevitably

177
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 5: it creates a certain disillusionment, a certain lack of confidence.

178
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 4: And you look in the polls, his handling and.

179
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 5: The economy is down to about thirty five thirty six percent. Well,

180
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 5: he got forty nine percent of the vote a year ago,

181
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 5: so that means about ten to fifteen percent of the

182
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 5: country who voted for Trump has lost certain confidence in

183
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 5: him and the Republicans because inevitably, inevitably.

184
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 4: There's going to be a certain amount of disappointment.

185
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 5: So there are other reasons as well, but those are

186
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 5: the two main reasons, and they're very visible right now.

187
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,119
Speaker 4: So when Donald Trump says it doesn't make sense.

188
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 5: It does make sense, and it's always made sense because

189
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 5: these are very powerful historical trends.

190
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: Is there any correlation or historical trend that who wins

191
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 2: the midterm elections that party wins the presidential election two

192
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: years later.

193
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 4: That's a good question, and.

194
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 5: You know the answer is no, because particularly you know, again,

195
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 5: look at Ronald Reagan, right, yeah, he loses twenty six

196
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 5: six in eighty two and eighty four, he wins one

197
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 5: of the biggest victories in modern presidential history. So look,

198
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 5: the out party can gain a certain amount of confidence,

199
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 5: a certain amount.

200
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: Of energy, but there's.

201
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 5: No guarantee, particularly when you have a president. You now,

202
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 5: given the fact that Trump is not going to be

203
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 5: on the ballot again, Republicans are going to face whoever

204
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 5: they nominate.

205
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 4: They're going to face the problem of.

206
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 5: How do you get those marginal Trump voters who did

207
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 5: not necessarily interested in politics, are not necessarily strongly Republican,

208
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 5: but they are strongly Trump their mogernation, they're red hats.

209
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 4: How do you get them to the polls without Trump

210
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 4: on the ballot.

211
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't help either. I think twenty five GOP

212
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: incumbents have announced they're not seeking re election either.

213
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 5: Well, that's a very good telltale sign of where politics

214
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: is going, because the Republicans can talk bravely about keeping

215
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 5: control of the House of Representatives, but it's actually is

216
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 5: up to twenty six now, and most folks expect even

217
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 5: more Republicans to retire. Some are running for other offices.

218
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 5: They're running for governor, some are running for the Senate,

219
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 5: but many are just leaving politics. And you know, it's

220
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 5: a whole lot more fun to be a member of

221
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 5: the House of Representatives if you're in the majority and

222
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 5: one of the reasons and then so it's very dispositive

223
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 5: those folks that retire. In fact, it's likely to hit

224
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 5: a record number of retirement. And that tells you that

225
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 5: for all of the bravado and the talk publicly about oh,

226
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 5: we're going to keep the House and you know, no problem,

227
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 5: privately they understand.

228
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 4: They're political pros.

229
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 5: They understand all of the trends I've just been talking about,

230
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 5: and they're thinking about life in the minority under the

231
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 5: Democrats in the House.

232
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 4: It won't be much fun, all.

Speaker 8: Am, yes, and I really appreciate you giving us a

258
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 8: chance to kind of share a little bit about what

259
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 8: we've been doing and what we're up doing.

260
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: Twenty six Okay, So first off, startup listeners that don't

261
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: know Big Brothers Big Sisters, how do you describe it?

262
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 8: What I tell people is that what we do with

263
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 8: match young people in the community with adult role models.

264
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 8: So somebody wants to be a big there, a big sister,

265
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 8: You're you're essentially you know, you're just an added layer

266
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 8: of support for kids. For a child in the community

267
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 8: whose parent or guardian have gotten in touch with us,

268
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 8: just say and you know, I've got a good kid here,

269
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 8: but you know, I see some I see some negative

270
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 8: influences maybe something like that, or maybe they're being raised

271
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 8: by a single parent or a grandparent who just you know,

272
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 8: just wants an extra person in that child's life to

273
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 8: kind of keep them on a positive path, kind of

274
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 8: talk to them about, you know, why it's important to

275
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 8: do well in school and help them maybe with social

276
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 8: skills that they're lacking, things like that.

277
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: Any ages that can I be too old to be

278
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: a big brother or a big sister.

279
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 8: You can never be too old to be a big

280
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 8: brother or big sister. I was talking the other day

281
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 8: to someone. We have a woman in Indiana she's been

282
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 8: matched with five little sisters over decades and she's approaching

283
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 8: eighty five, and that those kids have always been thrilled

284
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 8: to have a mentor no matter what the age.

285
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 2: Okay, what did you do this year? What are you

286
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: doing next year?

287
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 4: Phillis in We are.

288
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 8: We are excited because we've got some bold goals and

289
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 8: we so far we're reaching them. But this year we

290
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 8: served about nine hundred and fifty kids, which is about

291
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 8: fifty more than last year. So that was a success

292
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 8: and our goal is to double that number within the

293
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 8: next five years. And so you know that that takes,

294
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 8: that takes a lot of new volunteers. That always encouraged

295
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 8: people to just you know, google Big Brothers Big Sister

296
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,119
Speaker 8: at Cincinnati and you'll get to our website.

297
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 3: You'll see a lot of stories that we.

298
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 8: Tell as well as the commitment that we asked for,

299
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 8: which typically we asked people to commit to a year

300
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 8: as a volunteer Big brother or Big Sisters, understanding that

301
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 8: life changes, people move, people have job changes, and we understand,

302
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 8: I mean, they're not finding a piece of paper that

303
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 8: obligates you. But we asked for that commitment because it's

304
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 8: really good for the kids. If they are matched and

305
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 8: then somebody decided in a month that it wasn't a

306
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 8: good sit you know, that's that's a difficult challenge that

307
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 8: these kids don't need.

308
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: So we can also donate financially, right if we If

309
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: we can't be the big brother Big Sister, we can

310
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: get our checkbook out.

311
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 8: You sure can't. And we welcome that because we do

312
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 8: We do there's a lot of background checks. There's a

313
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 8: lot of ongoing communication between our social workers and the matches.

314
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 8: We don't just match to you and say go have fun.

315
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 8: So there's a lot of communication back and forth because

316
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 8: there can be challenges and so we want to make

317
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 8: sure that the goals are being met. So we communicate

318
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 8: with the big the littles, and the parent or guardian

319
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 8: about once a month for the first year, just to

320
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 8: make sure that everybody's on a good path and that

321
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 8: we can we can help make suggestions that they're you know,

322
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 8: if anything comes up that the bigs or or the

323
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 8: or the kids have questions about. And so, like you said,

324
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 8: we we do welcome financial donations. Obviously we rely on

325
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 8: that to keep to keep our doors open and our

326
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 8: life on and but also there's other things people can do.

327
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 8: You know, if you have a if you part of

328
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 8: a business, that we can come in and talk about

329
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 8: what it's like to be a big brother or big sister,

330
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 8: so we can spread the word and hopefully recruit new

331
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 8: volunteers from a workplace.

332
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 3: If you have a workplace where you would.

333
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 8: Like our We have programs called beyond School Walls where

334
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 8: we have kids that take a bus, let's say, from

335
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 8: Newport High schools and a business and then they learn

336
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 8: once a month. And I think the employers like that

337
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 8: because it's great for employer retention because the people they

338
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 8: like that the kids are coming into them and that

339
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 8: the employees don't have to go out to the school

340
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 8: and so just once a month and you're talking to

341
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 8: them about what it's like to be in a workplace.

342
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 8: We have programming that helps with financial literacy and all

343
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 8: kinds of things, resume building, So there's allways the way.

344
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 8: If somebody wants to get involved, you get in touch

345
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 8: with us and we can talk it through and we

346
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 8: can help people become involved with big brothers sisters.

347
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: Do you have events that I can take my little

348
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 2: brother little sister too, or do I have to come

349
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 2: up with all this stuff on my own.

350

351
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 8: of suggestions about what you can do. But also we

352
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 8: have monthly activities, and we are very fortunate that this

353
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 8: community has rallied around us because we get a lot

354
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 8: of tickets to all of the professional sporting events. We

355
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,600

356
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,920

357
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 8: go free of charge. We can go with activities that

358
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,440

359
