Speaker 1: Do you want to be an a mag.
Speaker 2: Here we go Friday Morning Scott Flunk Show, seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: Before we get into the fun stuff on Friday Morning's Joys, dude,
Speaker 2: we've got business to take care of, including this. The
Speaker 2: City of Cincinnati's extending its contract with the law firm
Speaker 2: here their independent Council Frost Brown Todd to review the
Speaker 2: effectiveness of leadership within the Cincinnati Police Department of what.
Speaker 2: You may recall that Chief Terry Fiji was suspended, not fired,
Speaker 2: suspended back in October, and so they're going to do
Speaker 2: an investigation. The city is and I guess we have
Speaker 2: more investigating because the contrast was extended till the twenty eighth.
Speaker 2: Of course that's tomorrow. They said we still need more time,
Speaker 2: so we're going to give you another month. And the
Speaker 2: problem with this is its costing taxpayer is more of
Speaker 2: the third round, I guess is out the house. It
Speaker 2: was nine thousand dollars to the extended play to tomorrow,
Speaker 2: and so you're talking close to fifty grand what's all
Speaker 2: said and done, and again we have the issue here
Speaker 2: is you fired someone in chief, Terry Thiji, and now
Speaker 2: you need months to figure out why you fired her
Speaker 2: in the first place. FOP President Ken Kober, welcome to
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 3: How are you, brother, Hey Scott, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so forty nine k Diji's still on paid administrative leave.
Speaker 2: She's still getting paid her two hundred and three thousand
Speaker 2: dollars salary. I don't know if Henny got a bump.
Speaker 2: I'd imagine he was as interim chief. This is costing
Speaker 2: a ton of money.
Speaker 3: Sure it is. Not only is it costing the taxpayers
Speaker 3: a lot of money, there's a lot of uncertainty right
Speaker 3: now in the police department. It's something that the men
Speaker 3: and women of this department are owed to know who's
Speaker 3: going to be in charge of this place and who's
Speaker 3: going to be in charge permanently. And the longer they
Speaker 3: drag it along, the more uncertain it is of what's
Speaker 3: really going on.
Speaker 2: And at what point does the investigation stop being to
Speaker 2: search for answers and clause and start being a way
Speaker 2: to keep Fiji and Limbo indefinitely. I mean, if it
Speaker 2: were clear cut, and typically when you get fired four clause,
Speaker 2: there's something that triggers that in your contract.
Speaker 1: It's obvious, and yet it's taking.
Speaker 2: October November December jan If everyone we've got five months
Speaker 2: of investigation and they still can't find out why, what
Speaker 2: the hell's taken us along?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's a million dollar question. You think that
Speaker 3: if you had just caused to fire somebody, it would
Speaker 3: be so blatantly obvious to everybody to see that this
Speaker 3: is why this is happening, and it's just not there.
Speaker 3: They can't find anything. That's that's the whole problem with this.
Speaker 3: It's nothing but a big scam to get rid of her,
Speaker 3: and now they don't know what to do.
Speaker 2: Does this undermine Adam Henny at this point? Because from
Speaker 2: those I talked to outside of you, he seems like
Speaker 2: a good guy and he's certainly qualified to be chief
Speaker 2: of the City of Cincinnati. But this whole thing is
Speaker 2: you mentioned he alluded to Ken. It doesn't make his
Speaker 2: job easier. There's only so much he can do because
Speaker 2: he's in orim. He doesn't have the full title. Yet
Speaker 2: it undermines his authority and his ability to function, and
Speaker 2: therefore it undermines the mission of cpd.
Speaker 3: Oh without a doubt, you know, because like I said,
Speaker 3: with him being just an interim, you're right, there's there's
Speaker 3: permanent decisions that typically aren't made. You have an interim chief.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not fair to him what's going on.
Speaker 3: It's not fair to Chief FIGI to be sitting at
Speaker 3: home going, well, what are they going to do to
Speaker 3: day the day that they're going to fire me? You know,
Speaker 3: what is today to day that there's gonna be some
Speaker 3: kind of conclusion. And clearly that's not gonna be the
Speaker 3: case because they've extended this yet another month.
Speaker 2: Well, I know, Terry, you haven't spoken since she was fired,
Speaker 2: and she's you know, obviously because that's the advice and counsel.
Speaker 2: I get that whole thing, but I don't know for
Speaker 2: me or anyone listening, like, Okay, I get two hundred
Speaker 2: and three thousand dollars in full benefits and I don't
Speaker 2: have to do anything. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: you want some closure.
Speaker 3: Well, sure, you know, and she's she's already done, you know,
Speaker 3: her full career. You came back after she retired, so
Speaker 3: it's not like this is about money for her. It's
Speaker 3: not like it's about you know, I'm you know, I've
Speaker 3: got to got to be able to feed my family.
Speaker 3: You know, this is something that she came back because
Speaker 3: she felt driven to lead this department, and now it's
Speaker 3: just everything's up in limbo and it's just not fair.
Speaker 3: It's not how you treat somebody that's spent as many
Speaker 3: years that she has, much less anybody you know that's
Speaker 3: employed someplace. But unfortunately that's where we're at.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, they put her on leave before they
Speaker 2: even hired a law firm and investigator. From your perspective,
Speaker 2: what does that say about whether this is really ever
Speaker 2: about due process?
Speaker 3: Well, we know that it's not. You know, they for
Speaker 3: whatever reason, they decided they were going to get rid
Speaker 3: of her, just like they did Michael Washington, and now
Speaker 3: they're in in a spot where it's going to end
Speaker 3: up costing them. And that's just we knew all along
Speaker 3: that this wasn't about her effectiveness. This was they wanted
Speaker 3: to go in a different direction, and instead of doing
Speaker 3: things the right way, you know, they fumbled, unfortunately, like
Speaker 3: they did many times before.
Speaker 2: The tipping point was and this happened right after the
Speaker 2: Fountain Square shooting and the individual who shot they fired
Speaker 2: those weapons at City Bird, turns out he's free now
Speaker 2: because it was ruled self defense because the two individuals
Speaker 2: inside both under age and both in under disability, and
Speaker 2: they shouldn't have a gun fired at him from inside
Speaker 2: city bird, Chicken, how's that on the chief?
Speaker 3: Exactly? It's not. You know, we still see that there's
Speaker 3: there's still violence going on in this city. You know,
Speaker 3: there's only so much that the chief can do, There's
Speaker 3: only so much that every uniform police officer can do.
Speaker 3: But to try to put crime stolely at the feet
Speaker 3: of her is just not fair.
Speaker 2: We know, Ken Cober that share Long city manager sent
Speaker 2: Chief dg an email in August that essentially ordered her
Speaker 2: to clear all communications through the mayor's officeer go back
Speaker 2: that far that started in August? Does the flip? Do
Speaker 2: you guys believe this investigation can truly be independent given
Speaker 2: that context?
Speaker 3: Now it's not. I mean, it's what investigation. I mean.
Speaker 3: You can go and look at her personnel file and
Speaker 3: there's absolutely no discipline. And you would think if if
Speaker 3: she was doing things that were so egregious that they
Speaker 3: needed to terminate her, you would think that there would
Speaker 3: be at least some kind of paper trail other than
Speaker 3: you know, one communication saying hey, everything needs to get
Speaker 3: through me. That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2: This is an indictment of Adam Henny, the now interim chief.
Speaker 2: But he was a command officer who signed a citation
Speaker 2: that downtown brawl case at the mayor's request. I mean,
Speaker 2: let's they say that didn't happen, but let's just call
Speaker 2: it what it was. You need to charge a white
Speaker 2: guy in this thing because of propriety, even though Chief
Speaker 2: now Chief Henny wasn't on the scene and he took
Speaker 2: he found the sword for his officers, which I think
Speaker 2: endears him to beat cops for sure, saying hey, listen,
Speaker 2: he's the guy who did this knowing he shouldn't have
Speaker 2: done it.
Speaker 1: But what does that tell you?
Speaker 2: Though not about Adam Henny, but what does that tell
Speaker 2: you about who the administration trusts and why?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, you know, Adam was certainly put in
Speaker 3: a bad position that he had to make a decision.
Speaker 3: He stuck up first trips, which I certainly appreciate, but
Speaker 3: he certainly does call into some questions of how the
Speaker 3: timing and things happen afterwards.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the comments that came out here when they appointed Frost,
Speaker 2: Brown and Todd to extend this now for the third
Speaker 2: time in order to find out why they fired Chief
Speaker 2: Thiji back in October, they fired her or suspend her,
Speaker 2: I should say, fired her, and now they're looking for
Speaker 2: reasons why, and it's taking five months to do this.
Speaker 2: The quote was I read with the broader goals and
Speaker 2: objectives of the city administration, whether she further those that
Speaker 2: brought her goals? Is that just them? It sounded to
Speaker 2: me like when I read that quote, they're essentially asking
Speaker 2: whether she was loyal enough to the may or, not
Speaker 2: about law and order and the constitution and or swore
Speaker 2: an oath, but loyalty to the administration. And that should ever,
Speaker 2: should that ever be grounds for firing a police chief.
Speaker 3: No, it shouldn't. And this is where Issue five comes
Speaker 3: into play. Deal where the chief only has so much protection,
Speaker 3: and that's the problem. It's become a politicized position where
Speaker 3: if you don't get along with the people at city Hall,
Speaker 3: even if you're doing the right thing, it's just something
Speaker 3: they don't like, you know, Then you're going to end
Speaker 3: up facing these consequences. And that's that's that's why we've
Speaker 3: had so many different chiefs over the last ten twelve years.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: Issue five was sold to the voters like an accountability measure,
Speaker 2: but take us through that. For those who may not
Speaker 2: recall what Issue fives is, how it plays in here,
Speaker 2: describe that.
Speaker 3: You know, prior to it was like twenty ten. You know,
Speaker 3: the police chief and the fire chief as well, they
Speaker 3: were hired and then they were they stayed in the
Speaker 3: collective bargaining unit, so they were protected by our contract.
Speaker 3: Issue five took that away to where they could hire
Speaker 3: anybody from outside the department if they wish, and they
Speaker 3: would have no collective bargaining protection, which is why it
Speaker 3: then became such a politicized position, because you're going to
Speaker 3: do what I want you to do, or I'm going
Speaker 3: to fire you. And we've seen in every major city
Speaker 3: around this country to deal deals with the same thing.
Speaker 3: They have a new police chief every couple of years
Speaker 3: because you know, the honeymoon will wear off and then
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, the chief does something that's city
Speaker 3: hall or city manager whoever doesn't like, and then they
Speaker 3: get rid of them. And it's like that in every
Speaker 3: city in this country.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, yeah, Ken Cober as president of the since the FOP,
Speaker 2: Queen City Lodge and the City of Cincinnati is extending
Speaker 2: their contract with Frost Brown Todd Here as their independent
Speaker 2: council into looking why they fired Chief Terry Thigi in
Speaker 2: October and their job is to find the reason why
Speaker 2: they fired her in October. And here we are now
Speaker 2: headed into March. So is this about politics? One hundred percent?
Speaker 2: And it's costing the text. There's a hell of a
Speaker 2: lot of money too, because you're still paying DIJI, and
Speaker 2: you're paying Heny, and you're paying the law office the
Speaker 2: law firm to investigate this. And if it was a
Speaker 2: clear cut case of cause for getting fired for cause,
Speaker 2: the reason why why has it taken five months? A
Speaker 2: normal person would ask. So that's Issue five you proposed,
Speaker 2: I believe it was you proposed to those basically the
Speaker 2: many things you can said you could do right, repeal
Speaker 2: Issue five, let the chief or Terry thiej or Adam
Speaker 2: Hunty whoever work independently, or elect a new mayor. So
Speaker 2: which is the most viable option, the easiest path here?
Speaker 3: Well, I think the one, the path that is going
Speaker 3: to be the most permanent is to do something with
Speaker 3: Issue five. That way, regardless of who the mayor is,
Speaker 3: regardless of who the police chief is, they're going to
Speaker 3: have that protection. That's what ultimately needs to be done.
Speaker 3: It's going to be a heavy lift. We'll see how
Speaker 3: it works out, but that's ultimately what needs to be
Speaker 3: done if the people in this city want to have
Speaker 3: a police chief that can make decisions based off of
Speaker 3: safety not politics.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, an issue five. I mean it was sold
Speaker 2: to us as an accountability measure, and I believe it
Speaker 2: was your predecessor, way back in the day, FAP president
Speaker 2: Keith Fangman, who said it would do just what it's
Speaker 2: doing today. I mean that was back in two thousand,
Speaker 2: I believe two thousand and two somewhere around there. So
Speaker 2: twenty five years later, a quarter century later, he was
Speaker 2: absolutely right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, without a doubt. I mean, we all all predicted
Speaker 3: that this was going to happen, and well here we are.
Speaker 2: Ken the department. I think we're still one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty officers short. Has that number changed it. I'll correct
Speaker 2: me on that one if I'm wrong. But I mean,
Speaker 2: you got a lame duck chief, You've got a chief
Speaker 2: and interim, You've got morale issues, you got recruitment issues.
Speaker 2: This can't be helping retain or attract officers.
Speaker 3: No, it's not. Yeah, you still have officers that are
Speaker 3: that are leaving every day. That just said I've had enough,
Speaker 3: I've got my twenty five years and I'm gonna leave.
Speaker 3: I'm not staying and do an extra You know, we
Speaker 3: are still we just didn't just graduate a class of
Speaker 3: fifty four, so that's certainly has help. But in the interim,
Speaker 3: like I said, every week, we have more people leaving,
Speaker 3: so it certainly continues to be a challenge. We got
Speaker 3: a class that's supposed to start the end of April,
Speaker 3: but it's still we're going to be significantly impacted by
Speaker 3: personnel shortage for years to come.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Jaji's attorney said, I looked at her jacket.
Speaker 2: She's thirty five years on the job and she hasn't
Speaker 2: had a significant negative performance review in thirty five years.
Speaker 2: And that just further under reminds us. Are they just
Speaker 2: sitting back I know you probably haven't talked to her
Speaker 2: counsel or her, but are they just sitting back on
Speaker 2: and going, Hey, listen, we're just gonna wind up settling
Speaker 2: and the city is going to have to pay a
Speaker 2: hole of a lot of money.
Speaker 3: That's what's going to happen, right, Yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 3: that's ultimately what's going to happen because anybody's going to
Speaker 3: look at this and see that this person's had a
Speaker 3: stellar career. You know, you have no negative discipline nothing,
Speaker 3: you know, so anybody can look at you. Has be
Speaker 3: an attorney to look at this and see that there's
Speaker 3: something more going on here and it has nothing to
Speaker 3: do with performance. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So if the investigation concludes they recommend termination, what options
Speaker 2: does the FOP have to challenge that outcome? Presuming you
Speaker 2: you're involved in this, there are you prepared to see that?
Speaker 3: Well? Unfortunately, because of issue five, Chief Fiji's not in
Speaker 3: our bargaining in it, so any action that she would
Speaker 3: take she would be doing on her own behalf.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is why she's hired outside council. Right if
Speaker 2: people go well the FOPL bit they or no, they
Speaker 2: can't because of again because of issue five.
Speaker 1: Hopefully we can get that repealed.
Speaker 2: Is there is there a momentum within council to do
Speaker 2: that or I can imagine that sare along and up
Speaker 2: want to do that, But what about counsol.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean I've talked to some council
Speaker 3: members that seem to certainly willing to entertain it. So
Speaker 3: we'll see here in the coming months of whether this
Speaker 3: gets any traction or not.
Speaker 2: Have you spoken to FOP council and just you know,
Speaker 2: maybe what's twisted in the wind out there, and how
Speaker 2: much is this going to cost us? Do we have
Speaker 2: any idea of the scope of the millions of dollars
Speaker 2: to pay Thigi off to design a non disclosure agreement
Speaker 2: and go away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be a very very significant amount of money,
Speaker 3: you know, And that's that's on the city. They're some
Speaker 3: things that created this mess, you know. I just hope
Speaker 3: whatever whatever agreement, if they do come to one that
Speaker 3: both sides can live with and we can move on,
Speaker 3: because that's ultimately what this police department needs.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 2: Well, it depends what crime numbers you look at right now.
Speaker 2: We've had a very very cold winter for sure. It
Speaker 2: tends to scare away the street riff raff if you will.
Speaker 2: But we had high profile shooting on New Year's Day
Speaker 2: of that young girl. We've had a streak of homicides
Speaker 2: and the light too. I didn't look today where we're pacing.
Speaker 2: But again, if we start to see another uptick this
Speaker 2: summer this spring, as the weather warms up and people
Speaker 2: go outside and hang out, and you know we're gonna
Speaker 2: have what a couple of weeks away from the time change,
Speaker 2: we always see a rut rising crime alongside that too.
Speaker 2: If the numbers are where they were this time last
Speaker 2: year or even higher, what does that say about this
Speaker 2: decision to get rid of Thiji. I mean, it's not
Speaker 2: an indictment of Adam Heney at all. But are we
Speaker 2: in a better place with Adam Heny than we were
Speaker 2: too resig.
Speaker 3: And that's the question. You know, I don't know what
Speaker 3: the crime stats are going to show up to see
Speaker 3: what kind of impact changes that he has made have
Speaker 3: on crime. We'll see hopefully they're positive ones. But I mean, ultimately,
Speaker 3: you can't you can't blame Chief Fiji, and you certainly
Speaker 3: can't blame Chief Henny, Yeah, for the problems with crime.
Speaker 3: What you can do is blame the people in society
Speaker 3: that don't know how to behave that that don't value life,
Speaker 3: that decide where we're just going to pick up a
Speaker 3: gun and shoot somebody because you said something mean to me.
Speaker 3: Until any of that changes for the better, we're going
Speaker 3: to likely see some of the exact same things regardless
Speaker 3: of whosi in charge of the Police Department.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like the Bengals, isn't it canon that
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter with the head coaches. You can pick
Speaker 2: back George Alis or the second coming of Jag or
Speaker 2: Hoover in your case. And if your hands are tied
Speaker 2: by the administration and it's all political, you really don't
Speaker 2: have any chance.
Speaker 3: Here, No, without a doubt. And if you remember the
Speaker 3: I think the last press conference that Chief Fiji did,
Speaker 3: some of her closing remarks, we're talking about how the
Speaker 3: expectation is for Since Saint police officers to go out
Speaker 3: and enforce low level crimes. That way we can make
Speaker 3: this city a safer place. And then two days later
Speaker 3: she's on administrative leaf. So I know there's certainly a
Speaker 3: good group of officers that certainly believe that this was
Speaker 3: a direct result of coming out and saying we're going
Speaker 3: to start enforcing low level walls that maybe we haven't
Speaker 3: enforced in the past, and that was something that city
Speaker 3: hauled it in Lake because we're going to have officers
Speaker 3: go out and be proactive and try to reduce crime. Well,
Speaker 3: there's a consequench for that, and of course now she's
Speaker 3: on administrative leaf.
Speaker 2: Now finally, Ken Cober, I won't keep you longer. When
Speaker 2: do you think this wraps up? I mean, how much
Speaker 2: longer can they keep extending? It's a third time to
Speaker 2: extended this deal with the law firm investigating why they
Speaker 2: fired Fiji back in October? Is this going to go
Speaker 2: six months in a year? Do they just simply want
Speaker 2: to drag this out till we forget to help me
Speaker 2: out here?
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I was surprised myself when I heard
Speaker 3: yesterday that they extended this. You know, I guess from
Speaker 3: her perspective, you're being paid, you know, to sit at home.
Speaker 3: But I also understand it's like, look, she wants some
Speaker 3: finality to this. I want to let's move on. Let's
Speaker 3: see what's going to happen. I don't know, I don't
Speaker 3: know how long they drag it out. But every month
Speaker 3: that they drag it out, they're costing the taxpayers more
Speaker 3: and more money, right, and it's just an irresponsible thing
Speaker 3: to do. But at this point it's it's certainly not surprising.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, Maybe reparations will fix this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you never know. Maybe maybe that's the chief of that.
Speaker 2: I'll get into that a little bit later on that
Speaker 2: was a proposal from jam Deshellaman careed. I'll try to
Speaker 2: get her out of the show next week if she
Speaker 2: wants five million reparations for the way people have coined
Speaker 2: her retreated in Cincinnati. Legitimate concern for sure, because it's true,
Speaker 2: but there's reparations to fix things. You can make a
Speaker 2: case it makes it worse, and we'll get that a
Speaker 2: little bit later on in the show. Ken Cober, President
Speaker 2: the FOP, thanks for jumping on this morning, brother, Be
Speaker 2: well and have a great weekend.
Speaker 3: Thanks. I appreciate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, Ken, And a lot of questions
Speaker 2: if you're a city taxpayer, going, yeah, well, what about
Speaker 2: five months to figure this out? Clearly they fired her,
Speaker 2: got rid of her, put her and leave whatever it is,
Speaker 2: and we'll try to find something. Yeah, you know what
Speaker 2: she did in nineteen eighty three, she tore off a mattress.
Speaker 2: Tags that don't remove this tag on her pedaly the
Speaker 2: law that you're fired that thought. It's gonna come down
Speaker 2: to Scott's Loan show, News on the way in just
Speaker 2: minutes and Will Gantz, our guy from ABC.
Speaker 1: We got theater, we've got a reboot.
Speaker 2: We got movies out, I should say, and We also
Speaker 2: have a reboot of Scrubs if you're into that show.
Speaker 2: It's taken what sixteen years, I believe to bring this
Speaker 2: thing back. We'll find out what took so long, or
Speaker 2: find out why we're bringing it back. From Will, He's
Speaker 2: next after news on seven hundred w W Scott Slunsha.
Speaker 5: Noberman who has entertainment reporting of coursing through his veins.
Speaker 4: Which makes him a medical entity. He is ADCs Will
Speaker 4: Gans from New York.
Speaker 2: Will Gans, good morning, how's life buddy?
Speaker 4: Life is good. It's a ball me forty degrees in
Speaker 4: New York.
Speaker 6: So I've got my swim suit on and I am
Speaker 6: ready to see the sun again.
Speaker 1: Oh good well, I mean that's that's awesome.
Speaker 2: The fact that talk about multitasking, multi platform journalist Will
Speaker 2: Gans has now added weather in meteorology to his portfolio,
Speaker 2: like they got you do it enough.
Speaker 1: Now you're doing the forecast.
Speaker 6: As long as it's a follow up question, free zone,
Speaker 6: Sure I can, I can, I can let you know
Speaker 6: what the temperature is?
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, you know what?
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're at ABC. I got to ask you
Speaker 2: something I don't often watch. You know, the what's six o'clock?
Speaker 2: News and National not anybody over the age of or
Speaker 2: under the age of whatever it is. I'm not going
Speaker 2: to judge. But they're like, Okay, here, there's a severe
Speaker 2: winter store moving in and I'll bring in the meteorologist
Speaker 2: who does the morning show at J Gordon Morning America
Speaker 2: and I'll talk for four seconds and then okay, thanks
Speaker 2: for that.
Speaker 1: Like did they bring them all the way.
Speaker 2: In to midtown Manhattan for like literally only thirty seconds?
Speaker 1: Do they really do? Do you do you guys just
Speaker 1: live above the studios?
Speaker 2: How does that work? Because I'd be pissed off I've
Speaker 2: had to come to work for to do thirty seconds.
Speaker 6: Well, it depends I guess on who it is and
Speaker 6: what their work skits would be. Some of them would
Speaker 6: be in the building already, certainly, Yeah, like it's just
Speaker 6: part of their you know, their their daily shift. And
Speaker 6: then sometimes you'll see someone who's like in the field,
Speaker 6: maybe they're by the George Washington Bridge, and for them,
Speaker 6: for them being by the George Washington Bridge, it's like
Speaker 6: a twenty minute commute as opposed to coming all the
Speaker 6: way into the city, which would be like an hour
Speaker 6: and change. So they do try to accommodate two people's schedules,
Speaker 6: and or if it's outside of when they would normally
Speaker 6: be working, then maybe they'll try and put the live
Speaker 6: shot location somewhere that makes more sense to where they're
Speaker 6: coming from.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but here's you know, ginger Z.
Speaker 2: They'll they'll Okay, she does GMA and you've been into you, dude, Jim,
Speaker 2: and then she's like later that night and if you
Speaker 2: turn on nightly then the news and she on and
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, here's Gingersey. She came in to tell
Speaker 2: you that there's a risk of a blizzard in Colorado.
Speaker 2: And then thirty seconds she's gone, like what that seems
Speaker 2: to be a huge painting.
Speaker 1: You better make a lot of money if you're doing
Speaker 1: that gig, like.
Speaker 6: You I mean, yeah, yeah, I would say that. There
Speaker 6: are certainly people who would say, yes, it is a.
Speaker 4: Pain to do that, but it's the job. And I
Speaker 4: do think, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm good. I don't know, I don't get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, I love making you uncomfortable at Will
Speaker 2: Gantz are ABC News guy who's now a meteorologist as well,
Speaker 2: backing up Gingersey. I never really watched. I was never
Speaker 2: into it. I think maybe because I was working at night.
Speaker 2: I used to do nine to midnight here way back
Speaker 2: in the day, and I think that's when that was on.
Speaker 2: So I never saw the show, but I saw clips
Speaker 2: of it. It's hilarious, it's scrubs, and they're bringing it back.
Speaker 2: Has it been did I see sixteen years?
Speaker 6: Yeah, the initial run of the show was from two
Speaker 6: thousand to twenty ten, and now sixteen years later, they're
Speaker 6: calling it a revival series. So it's not a reboot
Speaker 6: because it's the same cast that wrapt Donald Faison and
Speaker 6: Sarah Chalk and then some all returning, and so yeah,
Speaker 6: the show is the same creative team, and it's the
Speaker 6: same creative team that did Ted Lasso and Shrinking and
Speaker 6: stuff like that. And so when you know that, it
Speaker 6: sort of makes sense, right, because it's like it's laugh
Speaker 6: out out funny, but it's also kind of touching and
Speaker 6: heartwarming and stuff as well. And so the first two
Speaker 6: episodes of the revival series dropped on Wednesday.
Speaker 4: They're streaming now on Hulu, and.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this season will have nine episodes, and I think
Speaker 6: the hope is that, you know, if fans like it
Speaker 6: as much as they liked the original series that it'll
Speaker 6: be picked up for season two and then some but
Speaker 6: first two episodes really like you know, they're not trying
Speaker 6: to reinvent the Wheel. It really is reminiscent of what
Speaker 6: that original sitcom felt like in the early two thousands.
Speaker 2: They do any callbacks because that would be difficult to
Speaker 2: do after sixteen years.
Speaker 6: I mean there are like some characters that were not
Speaker 6: announced as returning to the do pop up, so there
Speaker 6: is a lot of.
Speaker 4: Fan service in that way too.
Speaker 6: It's it's yeah, I think they do do sneak some
Speaker 6: callbacks and character you know, cameos and stuff like that
Speaker 6: that fans will love.
Speaker 2: It's weird, like that's gonna be the like the one
Speaker 2: of the longest breaks ever for a show.
Speaker 4: I mean, sixteen.
Speaker 3: Crazy.
Speaker 4: It's crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 6: And you know, Zach Braff, who is the star of
Speaker 6: the show, has gone on to direct, you know, different
Speaker 6: television shows, and now he's returning as an executive producer.
Speaker 4: So you know, I actually was able to talk to
Speaker 4: him and he said.
Speaker 6: Like, after doing all these different things, it's nice to
Speaker 6: come back, you know, in a different capacity with Scrubs
Speaker 6: and bring everything that he's learned in that sixteen year
Speaker 6: hiatus back to try and make the show even better
Speaker 6: than it was the first go around.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 2: Also on Hulu is Paradise and this is I believe
Speaker 2: a season two.
Speaker 3: Yes, so Sterling K.
Speaker 6: Brown plays a secret service agent and it's set in
Speaker 6: a dystopian sort of futuristic America. And people who watch
Speaker 6: this show are obsessed with it. And if you haven't
Speaker 6: watched it yet, you're only one season behind. It's not
Speaker 6: that hard to binge. And so the first three episodes
Speaker 6: of season two dropped this week, and they've added Shyleene
Speaker 6: Woodley to the cast, who you know, was in Big
Speaker 6: Little Eyes and The Fault.
Speaker 4: In Our Stars and stuff like that.
Speaker 6: So it's a thriller, it's a drama, and you know,
Speaker 6: it's one of those shows where like none of the
Speaker 6: main characters are safe, you know, even if they're you know.
Speaker 6: So it's it's it's a fun watch, I think if
Speaker 6: you're looking for something like that. Yeah, it's it's sort
Speaker 6: of like Lost is maybe what I would compare it to.
Speaker 1: But Lost isn't set in dystopian America.
Speaker 4: Is it no Loss with present day?
Speaker 6: But it is like a little science fiction y like that,
Speaker 6: and and and and the way that like some of
Speaker 6: those main characters can be killed off at at a.
Speaker 2: Moment's nose makes sense. Finally will gance in theaters this weekend.
Speaker 2: I think we're seeing.
Speaker 4: Scream seven, So Nev Campbell, we're seeing For fans of Scream, Scream.
Speaker 6: Seven is out and for for other people trying that
Speaker 6: movie Send Help that we talked about a couple of
Speaker 6: weeks ago, still in theaters. I loved that, And then
Speaker 6: next week we'll be talking about Hoppers, which is the
Speaker 6: new Pixar movie. But Scream seven, I think if you're
Speaker 6: fans of the show of the series, you know they
Speaker 6: also do a clever job of bringing back people who
Speaker 6: were killed off that you're like, there's no way they're back,
Speaker 6: but they some some characters from earlier screen movies are back.
Speaker 6: And not for nothing. Nev Campbell is amazing. She's she's
Speaker 6: always really, really good and so to see her return
Speaker 6: to the franchise is pretty fun.
Speaker 2: Top of your head, which movie franchises have the most sequels?
Speaker 2: I go, but you think James Bond, that's.
Speaker 4: An excellent guess.
Speaker 6: I mean Halloween with Jamie Lee Curtis.
Speaker 3: It feels like.
Speaker 4: They've done a gazillion movies. That's a really really great.
Speaker 2: Quest, great trivia question. I guess I'm trying to think which, Well,
Speaker 2: you gotta.
Speaker 3: Be Bond, right that guy?
Speaker 2: It was fake? Yeah, yeah, isn't There wasn't there like
Speaker 2: a Police Academy forty seven or a Saw one nine.
Speaker 6: When Paul Blart Mall Cop two came out that that's
Speaker 6: when I said we're doing too much with the sequels.
Speaker 4: And that was only number two.
Speaker 3: So but but yeah, I mean I.
Speaker 4: Think Bond has got to be It's up there the one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, some of those well, Star Wars is getting up
Speaker 2: there too, But like a Marvel or a it's kind
Speaker 2: of hard because they're different. They're actually I mean it's
Speaker 2: it's the brand. It's they're different superheroes. Like what about
Speaker 2: like Godzilla?
Speaker 6: I mean, but are those technically sequels or are they remakes?
Speaker 6: Then you get yeah, then you get into some of
Speaker 6: the boys that in the Wieds huh.
Speaker 4: It is we're in the weeds.
Speaker 6: But I just your James Bond guest have to I'll
Speaker 6: do a little researching.
Speaker 7: Yeah, all right, maybe that's a that'll be a callback
Speaker 7: for next week.
Speaker 1: How about that?
Speaker 3: I love it?
Speaker 2: Unless you're off doing meteorology or good Married in America too,
Speaker 2: or whatever it is you do.
Speaker 1: In your world.
Speaker 2: Gans.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't control. I don't know how
Speaker 1: you do it. You're all over. I saw you the
Speaker 1: other day on the ABC stream.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 6: My schedule is inconsistent. Is a nice and polite way
Speaker 6: of putting it.
Speaker 2: Whether it's ABC or High art media. We go where
Speaker 2: we're kicked, That's where we go. He is Will Gans,
Speaker 2: ABC News multi platform reporter and meteorologist out of New York.
Speaker 2: At Will Gans with two s's on social uh, scrubs,
Speaker 2: Paradise and screen. What number do you say this with? Eleven?
Speaker 1: No seven seven seven.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm bad with math. I am really really bad.
Speaker 2: Have a great weekend, brother. I appreciate you.
Speaker 3: All right, Tony, take care.
Speaker 2: All right, there you go, it's our guy. We'll ants
Speaker 2: in New York. Like, you know, I may want to
Speaker 2: get back into car, like go back to Hulu and
Speaker 2: revisit the ones from like two thousand, because it looked
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a lot of clips like that's pretty fun.
Speaker 2: It's not quite office level, but it's there, right. Paradise
Speaker 2: is Yeah, Dystopi in America. My wife will not let
Speaker 2: me watch that because she hates that stuff, so I
Speaker 2: can't watch. You know how that is you're married and
Speaker 2: you know scream save it. I just I think I
Speaker 2: saw the first scream. I'm not a big sequel guy,
Speaker 2: because usually my theory is I'm cheap, I spend money.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, the first one's good in a way.
Speaker 2: The second one can live up to that. You know,
Speaker 2: there's rare exceptions there, you know, Godfather, but it's it's
Speaker 2: not worth and eventually beyond it's like, okay, there's scream.
Speaker 2: I think another thing. It's scary and my wife wants nothing.
Speaker 2: That poor woman, her real life is scary.
Speaker 1: Married to me.

Speaker 2: All right, here we go weekend about to start seven
Speaker 2: hundred WW Scott Sloane Show, Will what else we got
Speaker 2: going on?
Speaker 1: What is not going on today? Is the question?
Speaker 2: A little bit later after ten oh six today, I
Speaker 2: want to get into the fact that Vice Mayor Jan
Speaker 2: michelleman Kearney is proposing reparations for folks in Cincinnati, and
Speaker 2: what is wrong with that? Man? You ask? Well, I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess if I were on the receiving end of reparations,
Speaker 2: and I probably could make a case as to why
Speaker 2: I deserve reparations. Quite honestly, the way I've been treated,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't argue. I go, hell, yeah, I deserve repara. Absolutely,
Speaker 2: I would deserve reparations, There's no question about it. But
Speaker 2: of course it's a real of should you pay for
Speaker 2: this if you're not of the receiving party. We'll get
Speaker 2: into that discussion. Kind of heavy for a Friday now,
Speaker 2: but that's at the ten of six today here on
Speaker 2: the Scottsoland Show on seven hundred w WELW saw the
Speaker 2: story today and it fortunately did it in tragedy. But
Speaker 2: it may be left with this kid steals. He's seventeen
Speaker 2: and he steals or non steal, seventeen years old and
Speaker 2: his car because it was registered to him stolen caaraster
Speaker 2: difference this already it's a several year old. Because I
Speaker 2: could see the end of it. A Kia Soul. Kia Soul.
Speaker 2: He apparently just got his life driving one hundred over
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty miles an hour and runs into
Speaker 2: a house. Fortunately no one was home, or that there
Speaker 2: was no one that was injured anyway, he was fine.
Speaker 2: The whole thing walks away from it. But you know,
Speaker 2: it's not a case of a stolen car. It's young
Speaker 2: and stupid and testosterone and wheels, let alone alcohol and
Speaker 2: thron the gal calls involved. But it's a horrible combination
Speaker 2: because speaking from the guy personerspective, here, we're really stupid.
Speaker 2: We're stupid our whole lives, but we're particularly dumb up
Speaker 2: until our thirty some cases our sixties. And I think
Speaker 2: about this good and it happens more. You know, people
Speaker 2: will steal a car in all high reach of speed
Speaker 2: we see all the time in Cincinnati, and I'm not
Speaker 2: talking about people have the means to afford a really,
Speaker 2: really nice car.
Speaker 1: I think here's the problem.
Speaker 2: To play the back in the day game for a second.
Speaker 2: So I think when I was sixteen, seventeen, eighteen years old,
Speaker 2: and I think I got my first car when I
Speaker 2: was nineteen, and you could your car then couldn't go
Speaker 2: faster than fifty miles an hour. I mean, let alone,
Speaker 2: you know seventy you get to Okay, you're pushing it
Speaker 2: like fifty the wheels of be out of line and
Speaker 2: think it vibrate. You know, I'm talking about you, that
Speaker 2: hooptee ground And if you got the sixty six sixty
Speaker 2: mile fifty five. That's why the speed on was fifty five.
Speaker 2: Like literally, if you went seventy, the card fall apart.
Speaker 2: Most cars in the road were just that'd be it.
Speaker 2: And that's the car you had when you're young, and
Speaker 2: everyone has a car if you're of a particular age,
Speaker 2: that sucked back then. And this is not an indictment.
Speaker 2: Today's kids got it so they're so soft and easy.
Speaker 2: That's not what I'm saying. It's like technology did this.
Speaker 2: Like today you have a car. You don't have to
Speaker 2: get a tune up to one hundred thousand miles. Your
Speaker 2: car back in the day wouldn't make it to fifty
Speaker 2: thousand miles. My first car I had it literally if
Speaker 2: you lifted the hood up, if you could get the
Speaker 2: hood open, it was so rusted around where the engine
Speaker 2: was it looked like magic was holding the engine in place.
Speaker 2: You'd look down and you could see the tops of
Speaker 2: the tires. That's how rusted out it was. And that
Speaker 2: was my first car. And my buddy had a car
Speaker 2: that had a leak of the gas tank and could
Speaker 2: only put a quarter tank of gas and every time.
Speaker 2: So there are times where we drive and this is
Speaker 2: in we're let's go to Bowling Green and we'd have
Speaker 2: to drive to like Detroit. I remember we had to
Speaker 2: go do something and he had to stop. From some
Speaker 2: Bowlinger to Detroit's like an hour drive. We had to
Speaker 2: stop three times for gas on the way. Anytime you
Speaker 2: do a road trips like it's gonna take forever. During
Speaker 2: the Columbus one time, I think we had stopped for
Speaker 2: gas seven times because you only put a quarter tank
Speaker 2: it otherwise it'd spill all out.
Speaker 1: You lose your money to be gas all over the place.
Speaker 3: No go.
Speaker 1: But that's how it was back in the day. It's
Speaker 1: like one hundred thirty miles an hour.
Speaker 2: There's no damn way. No one goes driving one hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty miles an hour back then unless you had okay,
Speaker 2: maybe you were a little older and you had money,
Speaker 2: and you had a nice car, which would have been a.
Speaker 7: Muscle car, you could do that. But even one thirty
Speaker 7: with a rear wheeled wheel drive yeah, if you had
Speaker 7: it really tricked out, if you had you know, the engine.
Speaker 7: But there were very few people that did that. Like
Speaker 7: fifty five was a pig. If you go seventy miles
Speaker 7: an hour, you were that's insane. That's like space shuttle speeds.
Speaker 7: But back then you're you're lucky.
Speaker 2: Now it's says, well, I got I got air conditioning,
Speaker 2: got the heat and cool seats. I've got South rounds
Speaker 2: in this thing. It's gorgeous. Back then you're lucky if
Speaker 2: the heater worked, let alone. No one had air conditioning.
Speaker 2: And I'm not being bitter old man with the cloud,
Speaker 2: just saying it's like, people, come up. Cars are so
Speaker 2: much better today. It's like awesome. If you complain about
Speaker 2: it today, you're out of your mind. Cars are amazing.
Speaker 2: They will last one hundred thousand miles, even the cheapest cars.
Speaker 2: The other day we're talking about the average resid new
Speaker 2: car over fifty thousand dollars, and wow, that's incredible. But
Speaker 2: the cars last longer than they did back in the day. Literally,
Speaker 2: they you get I don't know how many years have
Speaker 2: I never had a new car. I wouldn't know, but
Speaker 2: like my old man would buy a car and think,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you got ten years out of it,
Speaker 2: If that literally fifty thousand miles, I know we're not
Speaker 2: driving as much as we used to, but that's also
Speaker 2: because it was a big deal to drive back then.
Speaker 7: Because while the car would literally fall apart in you
Speaker 7: get up to fifty and the whole thing would start vibrating.
Speaker 7: Screws would be popping out, like the scene from Apollo
Speaker 7: thirteen where they're sweat running down the control panel.
Speaker 2: What's going on over here? But at different times back
Speaker 2: in the day, that's not today, You're like one hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty miles. It's like it's a Kia Soul, for
Speaker 2: God's sake, like the equivalent of a Kia Soul back
Speaker 2: in the eighties. I don't know what they would be,
Speaker 2: but you probably couldn't go more than fifteen miles an hour.
Speaker 2: I would do a news update and we want to
Speaker 2: return to the show. Maybe a little bit more serious
Speaker 2: this morning, but then again maybe not. The city is
Speaker 2: at least vice maryor Jan Micheldeman. Kearney is proposing reparations
Speaker 2: for Cincinnatians in particular neighborhoods. She says this is not
Speaker 2: a race based issue at all. It's an issue of fairness,
Speaker 2: but if you look at the neighborhoods and the people
Speaker 2: who get the money, it most certainly is a race based.
Speaker 2: The problem is this, and it's one of those things
Speaker 2: where I think politicians do this on both sides, where
Speaker 2: they will craft and create a problem there's no solution
Speaker 2: to but by pretending to dwant to do something, it
Speaker 2: looks like you actually can do something. There's a huge
Speaker 2: difference here and what does it do. It just causes
Speaker 2: to be more coarse and more divisive and beat device.
Speaker 2: You know, It's just it's not I don't think it's
Speaker 2: good because they're I think they're deliberately doing this knowing
Speaker 2: there's no way it's going to happen, and they'll do
Speaker 2: that to ingratiate themselves, to make it look like they're
Speaker 2: fighting if you won. In fact, they know it's just
Speaker 2: simply not going to happen. But that's that doesn't that
Speaker 2: cause the divide to be worse. We'll get into that
Speaker 2: right after news on the Home of the Reds seven
Speaker 2: hundred ww Cincinnati.
Speaker 5: Do you want to American?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: So this is about fairness. Are you for fairness? I'm
Speaker 2: for fairness. Tell me how this is fair. So the
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Real Property Reparations Program, I said, reparations, which is
Speaker 2: a polarizing word. We've had polarizing words throughout history of
Speaker 2: things that are sex sister, Like, we used to call
Speaker 2: flight attends and stewardesses and now we call them flight attendants.
Speaker 2: We used to call people with developmental disabilities. Well, the
Speaker 2: R word right anyway, Okay, I think they're going to
Speaker 2: have to because this word is so polarizing and so demeaning.
Speaker 2: I think maybe you got to come up with something else,
Speaker 2: just a suggestion for it. But it's the Cincinnati Real
Speaker 2: Property Operations Program. It's going to go to council on Tuesday,
Speaker 2: five million dollars, no eligibility criteria, funded by marijuana techs.
Speaker 2: San Francisco's trying to do the same thing or had anyway,
Speaker 2: and they can't pay for it. So is it real
Speaker 2: just a gesture to make up look like they can
Speaker 2: solve the issue. Probably that. So here's the story real quick.
Speaker 2: We'll give it all the facts of this thing. It's
Speaker 2: presented by Cincinnati Vice Mayor jan Michelle Leman Kearney and
Speaker 2: Scottie Johnson and it's up for as I said next week,
Speaker 2: it provide financial assistance for down payments, to linquid property
Speaker 2: taxes and emergency repairs. In the Rising fifteen, they called
Speaker 2: the Rising fifteen poorest neighborhoods in Cincinnati. So is your
Speaker 2: neighborhood eligible? That is the question. Well, I got the
Speaker 2: full list here in fifteen neighborhoods Village, Arrolls, Hills, Millvale,
Speaker 2: English Woods, Lower Price Hill, Queen's Gate as part of
Speaker 2: as well, although I say Queen's Gate's going through some
Speaker 2: significant redevelopment here with the with the Brent Spence Bridge project,
Speaker 2: also wenton Hill, South Fairmont, West and East Westwood, Avondel, Roselawn, Monorary,
Speaker 2: East Price, Sell, South Cumminsville, and North Faremont. Those are
Speaker 2: your Rising fifteen poorest neighborhoods. So if you're a low
Speaker 2: to moderate income resident, or any individual and any individual
Speaker 2: or family member of an individual who was prevented from
Speaker 2: buying a home due to discriminatory practices, you will be
Speaker 2: eligible for this. She insists this is not race based,
Speaker 2: but the fifteen target neighborhoods are all in predominantly black,
Speaker 2: of joining our minority neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: It's not race based at all.
Speaker 7: I don't know if you feel I guess if you're white,
Speaker 7: or if you're Asian, uh, Indian, and you felt you
Speaker 7: were discriminated against, I'd have my hand out.
Speaker 2: Let's start here. It's called the Real Property Reparations Program.
Speaker 2: That's a mouthful because the word reparations is doing a
Speaker 2: very specific job. It's making a moral claim. That's the
Speaker 2: problem that you I'm talking to you right now, unless
Speaker 2: you're an individual eligible for the money, you as a
Speaker 2: Cincinnati tien, oh somebody. Something that's very different than saying
Speaker 2: we want to help low income people buy homes. And
Speaker 2: that's a good program. That's a program we could well,
Speaker 2: we could debate it's merits and who's eligible who's not.
Speaker 2: But you're lifting people up. Sure, But the moment you
Speaker 2: frame it as reparations, you already decided. You've declared, you
Speaker 2: pronounced someone guilty in someone deserving. That's the problem. Before,
Speaker 2: by the way, a single fact has been established, before,
Speaker 2: in a single individual's circumstance has been verified.
Speaker 1: How are you going to do this? How is it possible?
Speaker 2: Uh? And it's not race based. The framing says one thing.
Speaker 2: The geography says something else. And I'll give you my
Speaker 2: personal example. We all have individual examples of this. My
Speaker 2: great grandparents came here from Europe in nineteen twelve. They
Speaker 2: didn't own slaves, they didn't benefit from redlining, they had nothing.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I make a case that
Speaker 2: my families deserve reparations. It wouldn't be here to be
Speaker 2: a to New York, but by some of the things
Speaker 2: that happened to the family. I don't want to get
Speaker 2: out in the weeds on that. But they built what
Speaker 2: they had from scratch, no inheritance, no general as well. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it's different because the black experience. You know, Italians, Irish,
Speaker 2: Polish were all treated horribly in this country. I'm not
Speaker 2: trying to equate the Black experience with the European groups
Speaker 2: that came here. But the idea that somehow Europeans just
Speaker 2: came out at ease, it's a ballface lie. There was
Speaker 2: incredible discrimination against folks, which is why they lived in
Speaker 2: Italian neighborhoods. Polish. Now you had German villages here in Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: because you know, together you made a group which basically
Speaker 2: was a union, right, an ethnic union. The core problem
Speaker 2: with reparations at any level is that the people paying
Speaker 2: and the people collecting were not parties to the original wrong.
Speaker 2: That's the problem. You know, in civil court, the entire
Speaker 2: system exists to make injured parties hold the defendant has
Speaker 2: to be the one responsible for the harm. If that's
Speaker 2: not proven. If you can't prove that, then you don't win.
Speaker 2: Who's the defendant here? Since NY taxpayers, most of the people,
Speaker 2: I would safe to say all of the people listening
Speaker 2: to me right now have no connection whatsoever to what
Speaker 2: happened in the nineteen twenties with the Real Estate Board
Speaker 2: of Policies, so that maybe maybe a few in the
Speaker 2: nineteen fifties with federal redlining. You're probably a small child.
Speaker 2: Then you're no hand in that. And the question nobody
Speaker 2: wants to answer, how in the hell do you verify eligibility?
Speaker 2: How do you do that? No, look at that, there's no qualification.
Speaker 2: You've got to lay out the qualifications for this. Who qualifies?
Speaker 2: How do you prove? Cincinnati, the counsul is being asked
Speaker 2: to approve a five million dollar program without knowing who
Speaker 2: gets the money or how you prove a deserve it.
Speaker 2: And you know what if you vote against this, that
Speaker 2: makes you look like a racist, like you don't care
Speaker 2: more the same, which gives more. So don't tell me
Speaker 2: who's bringing people together. It's dividing people even more. Well,
Speaker 2: what do you mean, I gotta prove, I gotta deserve it.
Speaker 2: I live in this Neighborhoo, I'm black, I get them
Speaker 2: up right. No, that's not at all. You have to prove,
Speaker 2: you have to show and verify all this stuff. I
Speaker 2: don't know if anybody is interested or has time to
Speaker 2: do that. And don't this get distracted by the five
Speaker 2: million that's the opening bit. I mean, look, it's been
Speaker 2: tried elsewhere. Remember California did I should have checked out,
Speaker 2: and so the last time I checked on this, though,
Speaker 2: I want to say that San Francisco was like a
Speaker 2: quarter million dollars, more than a quarter million dollars a person,
Speaker 2: and you do the math, it's like almost it's almost
Speaker 2: a trillion dollars. That's two and a half times more
Speaker 2: than California's entire annual budget. Or Frisco. We're gonna give
Speaker 2: five million dollars per person, and they were California wasn't even.
Speaker 1: A slave stand. That's insane.
Speaker 2: Evanston, Illinois, to the first American city to actually fund reparations,
Speaker 2: ran a twenty million dollar program, handed out twenty five
Speaker 2: thousand dollars payments, and it's not making the payments because
Speaker 2: the marijuana attacks didn't raise enough money. So that sounds familiar.
Speaker 2: It's exactly where Cincinnati is right now. And then once
Speaker 2: the doors open, the number becomes infinite because no amount
Speaker 2: of money undoes the terrible wrongdoing, the terrible history of
Speaker 2: where we came from, the moral logic of we owe
Speaker 2: you has no floor and no ceiling. It's pretty much
Speaker 2: open to anyone without proof. And you know I mentioned
Speaker 2: San Francisco being the caution a tail. Here they are
Speaker 2: committees and task force and advisory boards and recommendations and
Speaker 2: I think it was last in December they voted to
Speaker 2: establish our reparations from the mayor sign they announced to say, well,
Speaker 2: you know what, we have no money to fund this
Speaker 2: because they're running already a billion dollar deficit for doing
Speaker 2: dumb stuff like this, And well what about private donations?
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, private duff from who is good? I
Speaker 2: mean maybe if you have enough money or gail you're like, okay,
Speaker 2: I'll be proud of the solution, but it's never gonna
Speaker 2: be enough. It's the problem. It is horrible, horrible thing
Speaker 2: that we didn't. No one can well, I'm sure some people,
Speaker 2: I'm sure the clansmen that showed up and you know
Speaker 2: out in uh Lincoln Heights, would would argue this, but
Speaker 2: no one goes, wow, it's it was what a great
Speaker 2: time in American So it's terrible, but we did something
Speaker 2: starting with Lincoln, and of course, and we also had
Speaker 2: the Klan in the twenties and thirties a well after Lincoln,
Speaker 2: and we've had a history of race problems in this
Speaker 2: country for a long long time, a long long time.
Speaker 2: Nineteen fifties, we had landmark civil rights lation in the
Speaker 2: nineteen sixties, again in the eighties, and yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, we're far from perfect, make no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: But there's no one with a straight face you can go, well,
Speaker 2: logo's going to nineteenth logo is going in in the
Speaker 2: you know, in the nineteenth century or the turn of
Speaker 2: the century, or the twenties or the fifties or the sixties,
Speaker 2: and like that was good. Now we look at that
Speaker 2: and go, wow, that's awful. It's awful, and anyone who's
Speaker 2: seen any of the film from the nineteen sixties of
Speaker 2: those people who were trying to keep segregation alive. It's
Speaker 2: not just cringey. It's reprehensible, right, it's sickening. But you
Speaker 2: look at it and go, wow, we've really moved on
Speaker 2: from this.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: The people who tell you that represent good idea will
Speaker 2: tell you that, no, that's not true at all, as
Speaker 2: you don't understand it's still bad. Okay, I mean you
Speaker 2: do have to have a hand in this, and I
Speaker 2: understand that. I mean example, Cincinnati, look at Ezra Charles Boulevard.
Speaker 2: Look at what we're doing now with the Brent Spence
Speaker 2: Bridge project. You know, you look at it from an
Speaker 2: arrow of view and go, okay, there's seventy Yeah, but
Speaker 2: it cut through a black neighborhood. Like back in the
Speaker 2: day they said, hey, it's just black. It's fine, we'll
Speaker 2: put a highway here. It's good and destroy the fabric,
Speaker 2: destroyed the neighborhood. Sure that's something. There are there people
Speaker 2: still around the experience that. Yeah, yeah, they're very old.
Speaker 2: But okay, but then who's going to pay that? Should
Speaker 2: it be up to people who had no hand in that,
Speaker 2: who probably are listening and agreeing with me that we
Speaker 2: should have be responsible to do that in Okay, in America,
Speaker 2: in court, civil court particularly, money is a remedy. That's
Speaker 2: how you fix something. You can't undo something you did,
Speaker 2: but you can pay a hell of a lot of
Speaker 2: money to do it. You know, a liability of lawsuit, defamation.
Speaker 2: Uh you know you put you made a bad product
Speaker 2: that killed people. Yeah, you can't bring those people back
Speaker 2: to life, but you can pay a hell of a
Speaker 2: lot of money. Okay, I get that, But who pays
Speaker 2: the money? The party responsible for that atrocity. They don't
Speaker 2: quote back, they don't go in bag in history. Okay, well, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know this. This company has long been since
Speaker 2: out of business. A paint company made a product, had
Speaker 2: lead based paint, who killed a bunch of people. Okay,
Speaker 2: kids are great. Uh that well, that company's not around
Speaker 2: it anymore. Okay, Well, we're just going we'll sue every
Speaker 2: paint company because big painted it. That never stand And
Speaker 2: in this case, how is that even possible? You're listening
Speaker 2: now and you disagree, like I had nothing to do
Speaker 2: with life. I got to pay you though, now, Well,
Speaker 2: but it's different. It's tax money, and it's yeah, but
Speaker 2: you're going to give the Let's say you give the
Speaker 2: money away. Let's say you did something that other cities,
Speaker 2: other states have tried but can't do. Okay, five million dollars,
Speaker 2: here you go, and then you just hand all this
Speaker 2: money out. It's gone in a flash. And we still
Speaker 2: have violent crime, we still have people who don't have
Speaker 2: any opportunity to rise up. And people take that money,
Speaker 2: what do they do with it? They're going to go
Speaker 2: to school, they can invest in probably not. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's your money. And I'm a proponent of you get
Speaker 2: money as long as they're not caveats. Is what you
Speaker 2: can do with it? It's your money, you don't know,
Speaker 2: blow it all on lottery tickets. Blow it on lottery tickets,
Speaker 2: your cash. Where's the accountability there? And how does that
Speaker 2: lift people up?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 2: Because we've done such a poor job educating people, We've
Speaker 2: done such a poor job putting a putting a price
Speaker 2: on education. And let's face it, the public school system's
Speaker 2: not good. It's getting better, but it's not good. But
Speaker 2: is that the fault of the teachers, is that the
Speaker 2: fault of the quality student, and those quality students come
Speaker 2: from homes that are broken, or there's problems, there's crime,
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of issues in urban neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: How does that fix this? What will you do.
Speaker 2: With the twenty five or whatever the amount of money is, Well,
Speaker 2: we're gonna ear market to buy homes. Okay, we're gonna
Speaker 2: hear to my bones. So everyone's got money, they're gonna
Speaker 2: want to buy home. Where are these houses you speak of?
Speaker 2: Because right now the housing market is tight. Af Can
Speaker 2: you use that money? Okay, it's twenty five, but you're
Speaker 2: gonna get that money, and now you got to you
Speaker 2: got to put it towards education. All right, Well, we're
Speaker 2: going to have some people go to school, I mean,
Speaker 2: but you're gonna have what it's gonna happen is you're
Speaker 2: gonna have a lot of people start their own quote
Speaker 2: unquote academies that don't teach anybody anything but take their
Speaker 2: twenty five thousand dollars. See what I'm saying, it'll create
Speaker 2: this whole. It's like when there's a hurricane or tornado
Speaker 2: that blows through. You get contractors flooding to an area
Speaker 2: where that's going on. But you got a lot of
Speaker 2: fly by night people who aren't going to do the work.
Speaker 2: They're gonna take the money and leave. And that's what
Speaker 2: you always want with these things. So what is this
Speaker 2: going to do? Well, we made you a whole Okay, Well,
Speaker 2: and I don't know, five, ten, twenty years, we hand
Speaker 2: this money out and the needle hasn't moved. Okay, it
Speaker 2: hasn't helped people's lives. It briefly helped their lives, but
Speaker 2: it didn't help their lives. And educational attainments still the same.
Speaker 2: Joblessness is still the same. Crime is still the same.
Speaker 2: Maybe we need to get ten million dollars this time.
Speaker 2: Maybe that will do it, you know, and jamished, I'll
Speaker 2: try to get jam Michelle on last week. She's friend
Speaker 2: of the show. I just disagree with on this issue.
Speaker 2: I think it's tired. I think it's Warren. I think
Speaker 2: it's more to visit than anything else. Proved me wrong.
Speaker 2: I'll give her some credit here. She says it's not
Speaker 2: race based, but she's probably seen that for a reason,
Speaker 2: because if it's explicitly race based, it most certainly violates
Speaker 2: civil rights law and the equal protection clause of the
Speaker 2: Fourteenth Amendment. You know, let's go back to twenty twenty
Speaker 2: three in the Harvard decision, the Affirmative Action decision, racial
Speaker 2: classifications require the strict scrutiny. Right, you gotta have compelling
Speaker 2: government interest, as it said. So you're trying to thread
Speaker 2: the needle calling it income based, a neighborhood based. But
Speaker 2: those fifteen neighborhoods are not randomly selected. They're specifically the poorest,
Speaker 2: most racially concentrated areas in Cincinnati. So there's real legal
Speaker 2: exposure here for the city. And if it passes, it
Speaker 2: gets challenged. Guess what.
Speaker 1: We pay for that too.
Speaker 2: So you're paying for reparations, and you're gonna pay most
Speaker 2: certainly for the lawsuits that are coming down. And that
Speaker 2: is absolutely one hundred percent going to happen as a
Speaker 2: result of this. I mean, okay, So you can't deny
Speaker 2: that redlining didn't happen. It did, Right, nobody's arguing that
Speaker 2: black families weren't denied the ability to build generational wealth
Speaker 2: through home ownership. They were in the nineteen Twentiescording to
Speaker 2: the story, Cincinnati Real Estate Board they literally said this
Speaker 2: in nineteen twenties, no agent shall rent or sell property
Speaker 2: to colored people on established white section. That's what the
Speaker 2: loss had been and that's documented. It's real, it happened
Speaker 2: in the nineteen twenties, and it's horrible. But the answer
Speaker 2: to this systemic wrong is not a program that can't
Speaker 2: identify who the defendant is, You can't verify eligibility, can't
Speaker 2: cap costs, may not even survive a legal challenge. The
Speaker 2: answer is race neutral investment in neighborhoods that were harmed,
Speaker 2: better schools, infrastructure, maybe business loans, job training, housing programs.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're gonna do it, do something like that.
Speaker 2: But we had those programs before and have they worked well.
Speaker 2: If they did, we wouldn't need this. And it also
Speaker 2: helps the actual people live in there now, regardless of
Speaker 2: whether they can prove their grandmother it was died alone
Speaker 2: in nineteen twenty eight or nineteen fifty two. The parallel
Speaker 2: here and you hear it this, well, what about what
Speaker 2: happened to Japanese during World War Two? As you know,
Speaker 2: there were internment camps for Japanese. Once the Japanese attacked
Speaker 2: Pearl harborly looked at anyone who's Asian, and particularly Japanese,
Speaker 2: as potential spies, and we rounded them up, took their
Speaker 2: proper well, I don't know if we took their proper
Speaker 2: we held, we put them in internment camps, and American
Speaker 2: internment reparations work precisely because they were targeted. They're verifiable,
Speaker 2: and they're finite. If you're a living survivor, there was
Speaker 2: documented government action against you and your family, and then therefore,
Speaker 2: if that's the case, you receive a fixed payment. That's
Speaker 2: a model. This is not that. That is maybe that
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's twenty three and millions some DNA evidence.
Speaker 2: But if you're really in the genealogy, maybe you got
Speaker 2: a shot at this. But most people don't. Most people
Speaker 2: are going to do that kind of homework. We're just
Speaker 2: going to assume that because you live in this neighborhood
Speaker 2: and because if you're a particular racial element you deserve money.
Speaker 2: That is not the same as Japanese Americans who were
Speaker 2: interred during World War Two. Now we have an all
Speaker 2: democratic city council. Every single member is elected as a Democrat.
Speaker 2: There's no opposition whatsoever, even though you look at the crime,
Speaker 2: look at the problems we had and still went yep, well,
Speaker 2: we elect mayor after fear O Luck to council as
Speaker 2: a whole sure got it. Now some of us outside
Speaker 2: the city look at this and go I got my
Speaker 2: popcorn out, And I mean, look at the thing with
Speaker 2: Fiji that we talked to at the Kenkober at nine
Speaker 2: o six on. By the way, I'll be on the
Speaker 2: podcast if you miss that. They've now extended the Frost
Speaker 2: Brown Todd contract a third time. We're into We're gonna
Speaker 2: be going into six months after letting Terry Thigi go
Speaker 2: without an answer as to wire a letter go in
Speaker 2: the first place. You know, I I often and I
Speaker 2: always get killed for this and when I dare criticize
Speaker 2: Republicans and Republican leadership in Columbus, which is run by
Speaker 2: Republicans Larry Householder, et cetera.
Speaker 1: And oh what kindor I'm fair?
Speaker 2: Is what I am. I'm tired of bs. I don't
Speaker 2: care if the right or left quit blowing smoke up
Speaker 2: my rectum. Damn here killed them. This is a council's
Speaker 2: side of this job is progressive politics and not managining
Speaker 2: since the night I Meanwhile, the city's like forty nine
Speaker 2: thousand dollars into an investigation a thij who's getting paid
Speaker 2: two hundred and three k year to sit home Adam
Speaker 2: Henny who has it's not his fault. It seems like
Speaker 2: a good guy and the good cops, a cops cop,
Speaker 2: he's getting paid. It's like, I'm sure he got a
Speaker 2: bump to be chief. We're funding the lawsuit, as I said,
Speaker 2: and will also follow, believe me, the settlement that's coming
Speaker 2: down between the g and the city. So Shia will
Speaker 2: sign a non disclosure agreement that doesn't tell anyone how
Speaker 2: much money she's getting or admitting guilt. And now we're
Speaker 2: talking serious money. Two hundred three k a year plus
Speaker 2: Henny plus a legal fees. That's jump change. The real
Speaker 2: money is going to come into settlement. Priorities matter, Resources
Speaker 2: are finite. Every dollar of this council spending on a
Speaker 2: program that may be on constitution unfundable that there's no
Speaker 2: eligible the criteria for is not a dollar. It's a
Speaker 2: dollar not going to public safety in the roads, it's
Speaker 2: not going to the things the city government is a
Speaker 2: responsible So we're gonna give five more million dollars away.
Speaker 2: And I'm you know, I get it. It's a terrible thing.
Speaker 2: We agree one hundred percent, but you can't you cannot
Speaker 2: unite people to by dividing them, and that's what this
Speaker 2: seeks to do. I know, heavy for a Friday morning,
Speaker 2: but the storage just broke this morning. We'll switch it up.
Speaker 2: We've got sports, sports and more sports. Red legs looking
Speaker 2: pretty good out in Arizona. We got some UC news,
Speaker 2: We've got FC making news, and much much more. It's
Speaker 2: just ahead here Scott's loan with Austin Elmore from ESPN
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty looking ahead. What you're gonna watch sports wise
Speaker 2: this weekend? Seven hundred ww That music can mean only
Speaker 2: one thing. Gladys are coming in the ring. Or it's
Speaker 2: Austin Elmore, ESPN, fifteen thirties, Sports Authority.
Speaker 7: You know the name of this song? No trophies? Well
Speaker 7: by uh Drake? Oh it's Drake. Okay, but I just
Speaker 7: I you know trophies. My team's never win any but
Speaker 7: me neither.
Speaker 2: And I'm older than you are, you know, just trying
Speaker 2: ang yes one time, just one, Give me one, Give
Speaker 2: me one, give me one. What has less meaning this week?
Speaker 2: Austin Elmore spring training or the NFL.
Speaker 7: Combine Spring training? Spring training is far less meaningful. I mean, well,
Speaker 7: what is going on the combine?
Speaker 2: It's so it's Okay, they're doing press conferences every day
Speaker 2: and they're finally talking. I get that, but it's watching
Speaker 2: guys high jump and run. It's like, we know you
Speaker 2: can jump high and lead fast. It doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 7: The on field workouts are probably the least important part
Speaker 7: of the combine. What you actually get are medical exams,
Speaker 7: team interviews, and full measurements of players, because you know,
Speaker 7: everybody lies when they're at their shore. Say they're bigger
Speaker 7: than they are, taller than they are, faster than they are. Well,
Speaker 7: the NFL guys finally get to get their hands on
Speaker 7: some of these guys, like physically and in all these
Speaker 7: different ways. So it is meaningful to have these interviews.
Speaker 7: And oftentimes a team that interviews a player, they are
Speaker 7: more likely to draft him. So these guys are making
Speaker 7: millions of dollars. Teams are you know, crossing guys off
Speaker 7: their boards and so on and so forth. So yes,
Speaker 7: it's more meaningful. Have we done the math on we
Speaker 7: were in too the math Actually I was going to
Speaker 7: ask that question, but the corlish. Okay, so we have
Speaker 7: the combine. I okay, well, now we can really get
Speaker 7: down to the data here.
Speaker 2: And then of course you have the draft, and it's
Speaker 2: based on how they played in college, but also somewhat
Speaker 2: to do with the combine. I don't know what the
Speaker 2: ratio is there exactly, but again it's large. I'd say
Speaker 2: that first round kind of crapshoot. Is the guys how
Speaker 2: we're going to turn on, specially quarterbacks, because it's where
Speaker 2: you're drafted and the I guess the system built around
Speaker 2: you to allow you to succeed, which makes Joe Burrow
Speaker 2: even more incredible of a freak that he is in
Speaker 2: that regard. And so it's like it's still at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, an educated guest, Yeah, it absolutely is.
Speaker 7: There are a ton of different factors that go into
Speaker 7: whether or not a player is going to be successful
Speaker 7: at this particular team. And that's why the combine has
Speaker 7: become such a big deal is because you do start
Speaker 7: to apply. Okay, the data from years past has led
Speaker 7: to this result. So guys that are doing it this
Speaker 7: year could be on this track. And obviously, as you mentioned,
Speaker 7: there's things that are far just as important. Who the
Speaker 7: coach is, what the cap situation is, the players in
Speaker 7: front of that guy, the player's personal life and their
Speaker 7: family and all this others like, there's a lot that
Speaker 7: goes into it, for sure, So you're right, yes, it's
Speaker 7: an educated guess. But this is the part where you
Speaker 7: get the education. You get to figure out, Okay, here's
Speaker 7: how we feel about a player, right.
Speaker 2: And at the same time, despite all of that stuff,
Speaker 2: the biggest questions of the combat are like, Okay, are
Speaker 2: they going to give are they going to tag Trey Hendrickson?
Speaker 2: Are they who's going to be the backup? Because are
Speaker 2: they going to resign Flocko? Those are the big questions
Speaker 2: right now. Yeah, I mean, I think Trey's the biggest one.
Speaker 2: And it was reported by Kelsey Conway earlier this week
Speaker 2: that or last week that the Bengals are going to
Speaker 2: spend the week in Indianapolis trying to figure out if
Speaker 2: there's any value for Trey Hendrickson, if it would be
Speaker 2: worth it for them to tag him and trade him. Now,
Speaker 2: listening to Duke Tobin and Zach Taylor and the coordinators
Speaker 2: and everyone over the week, it doesn't like that's going
Speaker 2: to be a realistic possibility. So March third, this coming week,
Speaker 2: is the deadline for whether or not the Bengals are
Speaker 2: going to tag him and if they're going to tag him,
Speaker 2: they're more than likely going to trade him.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to happen.
Speaker 7: I don't think the Bengals are going to tag him therefore,
Speaker 7: I don't think they're going to trade him. Therefore, he's
Speaker 7: going to become a free agent when the league year
Speaker 7: begins on March eleventh.
Speaker 2: Gotcha, And that is the word coming out of Indianapolis.
Speaker 7: That's my guess based off of It's always been my
Speaker 7: thought as to what's going on. Unless the Bengals are
Speaker 7: talking to a team over there and they offer them
Speaker 7: something that they can't refuse, which I don't think they
Speaker 7: would do because the Bengals don't have much leverage in
Speaker 7: this situation. I think they're going to let them walk
Speaker 7: because that's typically what they've done in the past. There's
Speaker 7: been very few tags and trades over the last several years.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 2: The thing is is, why are you sitting here telling
Speaker 2: me the Why are you telling me of this from Indianapolis?
Speaker 2: Because I try TV is streaming, everyone is there.
Speaker 1: Why aren't you?
Speaker 2: There's good question you should be there. It's a good question.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know how much authority and say
Speaker 2: you have. I don't know if I can trust.
Speaker 1: You, Audi, I have very little authority.
Speaker 7: I am a as big of a nobody as there
Speaker 7: is no Pike's not there, is not there, Miss Dumpster.
Speaker 7: Callister is not there, Dennison is not there. Well, we
Speaker 7: don't have anybody there. We asked if we were told
Speaker 7: you would be there, all right, and then we weren't.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about baseball. Why do you hate baseball?
Speaker 3: Somemod.
Speaker 2: I don't hate baseball better than spring turning baseball wrong
Speaker 2: with you said, which is more meaningful?
Speaker 1: In Cincinnati?
Speaker 7: I don't care about Nick Sando giving up Grand Slams
Speaker 7: to Manny Machado. Why should I That dude played in
Speaker 7: Dayton last year. He's not going to be on a
Speaker 7: big league team. Rhett Louder deals today, Htt Louder. Rhet Louder,
Speaker 7: I like Redd Louder Brent Suter. It is a reds
Speaker 7: the old red matchup to Brent Suter pitching for the
Speaker 7: Los Angeles Angels and Rhett Louder.
Speaker 2: You can't.
Speaker 7: I mean, you want to talk about two opposite into
Speaker 7: the spect Uh, you're gonna see that. I mean Rhet
Speaker 7: Louder and Chase Burns continue to kind of compete for
Speaker 7: that final spot. Chase Burns looked pretty good yesterday. He
Speaker 7: keeps walking some guys. I think through two starts. That's
Speaker 7: probably my biggest concern is the control from Chase Burns.
Speaker 7: But his slider is absolutely filthy. He's getting a swing
Speaker 7: and a miss on ninety percent of the sliders that
Speaker 7: he throws. I mean, if you're doing that, you're gonna
Speaker 7: last a while in the big leagues. It's gonna be
Speaker 7: tough for Rhet Louder to out do that. Yeah, you
Speaker 7: would think so. But at the same time, if Rhet
Speaker 7: Louder is able to keep the ball, you know, in
Speaker 7: the strike zone a little bit more frequently, and not
Speaker 7: walk as many guys and not put himself in such
Speaker 7: a difficult position. I mean, keep in mind, Rhet Louder
Speaker 7: made six starts towards the end of twenty twenty four
Speaker 7: and had a one point one point seven r right.
Speaker 7: I mean, he was really good feeling. So I don't
Speaker 7: know that it's just cut and dry. Chase Burns is
Speaker 7: gonna be the fifth starter. I think there's still some
Speaker 7: competition to play. He bitch good yesterday. See what Louder
Speaker 7: does and it's just the first few days of spring trying.
Speaker 7: A lot can happen between now and then. So before
Speaker 7: you say Burns is gonna be the fifth starter, we'll see, Yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean there's still twenty seven long days, long days
Speaker 7: between now and opening down, all right.
Speaker 2: And Lodola looks sharp in his day before strikeouts two
Speaker 2: scoreless and except the White Sox so yeah good good
Speaker 2: out of the box.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and a White Sox team that's spent a lot
Speaker 7: of money and is expected to be better offensively. And
Speaker 7: Lodolo looked really good, man. I mean, I think a
Speaker 7: lot of people have said his ceiling is still very
Speaker 7: very high. It comes down with him, with Hunter Green
Speaker 7: and with Andrew Abbott. Can those guys make a combined
Speaker 7: ninety starts? Can you get thirty starts out of each
Speaker 7: of those dudes? And if so, I think the Reds
Speaker 7: are going to be in the postseason and maybe a
Speaker 7: l Central champions. But with Lodolo it's the same story.
Speaker 7: Can he stay healthy for a full season because when
Speaker 7: he's on, we saw it last year, we saw it
Speaker 7: yesterday or two days ago in training.
Speaker 2: He's a beast. That's a long season. Graham Ashcraft got
Speaker 2: rocked for with six runs two thirds of an inning.
Speaker 6: That was.
Speaker 7: That was a rough one that I'm trying not to
Speaker 7: overreact because as I said, it's it's not that meaningful.
Speaker 7: But I just sometimes I feel like there's a lack
Speaker 7: of focus sometimes with Graham Ashcraft that I don't quite understand.
Speaker 7: But I don't know what he was working on yesterday.
Speaker 7: I don't know if he was just throwing a specific
Speaker 7: cutter to try to work on that pitch and he
Speaker 7: threw it three times in a row and it got black.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I don't know exactly what he was working on. So
Speaker 7: it's it's unfair to sure provide a full evaluation, and
Speaker 7: we shouldn't lose our mind over Chase Burns either. So well,
Speaker 7: it's all about to is.
Speaker 2: What I going back. None of this stuff really matters.
Speaker 2: Five five games played so far in Cactus League action,
Speaker 2: and the back at it today. By way, it's a
Speaker 2: three h five pitch first pitch here on the home
Speaker 2: of the Red, seven hundred w other Friday, the sun's
Speaker 2: out and we've got baseball and sixty degrees son. Yeah
Speaker 2: that's pretty good, right, Yeah, it's pretty good offensively though,
Speaker 2: Elli Dala Cruz came to camp and he put some
Speaker 2: good weight on seventeen pounds, five hits of spring all
Speaker 2: extra basis, triple double Thursday. Sal Stewart a slimmer down
Speaker 2: Sales Stuart I kind of like my Sal Stewart, like
Speaker 2: my l Rokers. I let him thick.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 7: People were worried about is that gonna, you know, rook
Speaker 7: into your candidate lead to a power outage for salth
Speaker 7: Stuart apparently not. He hit a home run the other
Speaker 7: day that was so far inside. It was a pitch
Speaker 7: that you typically don't want people swinging at, but he
Speaker 7: was able to get the barrel so far inside, bring
Speaker 7: those hands in and hit one four hundred plus feet
Speaker 7: on a like a scud missile to left center field
Speaker 7: to hit it out of the ballpark.
Speaker 2: That sort of raw power.
Speaker 7: Even when you lose some weight and get in better shape,
Speaker 7: to be a little lighter on your feet, you still
Speaker 7: have that type of power, that type of bat speed.
Speaker 2: South Stewart could have a big season. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And there's always a guysally a gavp. There's those a
Speaker 1: guy that comes to camp.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he will or won't be, but it's
Speaker 2: it's either rookie and sale had a you know he
Speaker 2: had I wouldn't say cup of coffee, but he was
Speaker 2: there for the playoffs and everything. There this a guy
Speaker 2: comes along, either rookie or a veteran that comes in.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh my god, this guy JJ ble.
Speaker 7: Today is that guy. Every year there's a guy. He's
Speaker 7: that guy right now, I look like Barry Bonds.
Speaker 1: The other day it's four hundred and fifty foot job.
Speaker 6: The way he.
Speaker 7: Dropped a barrel on that thing and sent it four
Speaker 7: hundred and sixty four feet. You know, we kind of
Speaker 7: made fun of JJ Budey. He met with the media.
Speaker 7: You know they there's a bunch of media in a
Speaker 7: goodyear as well covering the Reds. Who media like local media?
Speaker 2: You mean people? That isn't it interesting?
Speaker 6: Wait?
Speaker 1: So you're saying that there are people in sports that
Speaker 1: hold on a second?
Speaker 7: Okay, The seven hundred w LW is the flagship radio
Speaker 7: station of the Cincinnati Reds. How often do we have
Speaker 7: people in goodyear covering the team?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 2: Screw that up.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not here to blame people. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: does it happen?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Okay? What about down the hall I don't want to know.
Speaker 7: ESPN fifteen thirty flagship station the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah, you
Speaker 7: have nobody at the epicenter of the NFL universe ninety
Speaker 7: minutes up the road.
Speaker 1: Last screw that, Okay, blame to those starts.
Speaker 2: No, oh my god, with the I don't even I
Speaker 2: don't even want to. I don't even want to.
Speaker 1: Let me just let's just say that there was a
Speaker 1: lot of money was paid.
Speaker 2: Oh, oh my goodness. All right, Austin Elmore's here from
Speaker 2: ESPN fifteen thirty, kicking around sports waiting for me outside
Speaker 2: the hall.
Speaker 3: This is me.
Speaker 2: I'm good. Oh, I know, you're fine. Fine, I'm invested.
Speaker 2: VET got more dirt on that doesn't happen on me,
Speaker 2: So that works. I got stories, I got pictures. I'll
Speaker 2: go public, be honest, they're not missing it. I don't care.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into well offensive. We talked about Ellie,
Speaker 2: We talked about sale. The biggest question is going to
Speaker 2: be Matt McLain. Can he return to where he was
Speaker 2: prior to last season? Yeah, and so far, so good. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so far it looks really good.
Speaker 7: The big development we talked about last week Matt McClain
Speaker 7: long pants, maybe that's the difference.
Speaker 1: But he contribuses to draw.
Speaker 2: He continues to.
Speaker 7: Have good at bats and make contact, and that was
Speaker 7: the big thing last year. Even when he he wasn't
Speaker 7: making contact. He wasn't even falling balls off last year,
Speaker 7: and it's like, okay, you got to get the timing down.
Speaker 7: He had a two week stretch where he looked like
Speaker 7: Matt McClain, and then the other forty weeks of the
Speaker 7: season he looked horrible. So if he can just continue
Speaker 7: to make contacts and let that ball travel in the
Speaker 7: zone a little bit and kind of go the other
Speaker 7: way with it, that was a big issue with him.
Speaker 7: I think he's adjusted his stance a little bit. You
Speaker 7: kind of go through all the stuff over the course
Speaker 7: of the off season. Another year of health for that shoulder.
Speaker 7: I have big expectations for Matt McLean, but last year
Speaker 7: he was a beast in spring training as well. To
Speaker 7: go back to the point we just made, you don't
Speaker 7: know what Graham Ashcraft is, don't know what Chase burn.
Speaker 7: You can apply that to the pitchers the Reds are
Speaker 7: facing as well, so you don't put a ton of
Speaker 7: stock into it. But if you're still making contact, if
Speaker 7: you're doing the right things, that's at least something to
Speaker 7: look forward to.
Speaker 2: Okay, final play, because I want to make it sound like,
Speaker 2: you know, we're Red's Homer's here, or throw a little
Speaker 2: negative in here. The base running. Reds struggle with base running.
Speaker 2: Always struggled. He struggled yesterday badly.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to explain it.
Speaker 3: I have.
Speaker 2: You don't want to go it's spring man, give him
Speaker 2: a break. Okay, that's fair, But it's we've seen this before.
Speaker 7: We've seen it for the last several years, and the
Speaker 7: people that are in charge of base running are still there,
Speaker 7: those coaches are still there.
Speaker 2: It's still been a common theme.
Speaker 7: I don't know, especially for young players who have come
Speaker 7: up playing baseball their entire lives. You know, how to
Speaker 7: run the bases, it's inexplicable. So hopefully that's something that
Speaker 7: they just get that out of their assistance. And Ellie
Speaker 7: was one of the guys that we see that all
Speaker 7: the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ellie is is.
Speaker 7: Sometimes Again, it's just like there's this lack of focus
Speaker 7: where it's like, oh crap, so play all nine innies
Speaker 7: need to be there, that's right, you need to be there.
Speaker 2: Let's pivot to FC there in action of at Minnesota.
Speaker 2: That's a four thirty match. I believe you rarely see
Speaker 2: a team put up nine on another club, But it
Speaker 2: was that weird cup thing that. It was a bunch
Speaker 2: of guys that were I think it's like the Jamaican
Speaker 2: Bob's led.
Speaker 7: Team back the O and m f C from the
Speaker 7: Dominican Republic were only able to have i think fourteen
Speaker 7: players make the trip because of travel and visa issues.
Speaker 7: So when you have that, you're you know, it's cold
Speaker 7: here compared to what it was for them in the DR.
Speaker 7: That's a recipe for a nine, nine to nothing slacking.
Speaker 7: Now you talk about this weekend at Minnesota. They don't
Speaker 7: play that thing in the dome up there with the
Speaker 7: Vikings player. Now Minnesota is going to be outdoors. It's
Speaker 7: gonna be four degree trees for FC Cincinnati tomorrow afternoon
Speaker 7: in Minnesota. That's gonna play a role, I'm sure in
Speaker 7: that game. But whenever you have a game nine to
Speaker 7: nothing and you don't have to use the full squad
Speaker 7: to do it, and you're able to just kind of
Speaker 7: get some momentum and keep some guys going looking forward
Speaker 7: to f C Cincinnati and I really play.
Speaker 1: Sure are they allowed to wear slacks? And I think
Speaker 1: that's what they wear? Slacks?
Speaker 2: I have no idea. Well, if it's four degrees and
Speaker 2: they're running around in shorts, you frostbite a problem there?
Speaker 2: You could could they wear nice slacks? It'd be some plea. No, no,
Speaker 2: no slacks, definitely nothing. Please.
Speaker 7: What about trousers? I think you could use the term
Speaker 7: trousers soccer trousers. See the thing though, Yeah, the kids
Speaker 7: socker trouser kits, trainers. They wear trainers when they The
Speaker 7: n c double A is trying to crack down on
Speaker 7: the pant length and sock height of uniforms in college football.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't because it's been a big issue, Yes, sure has.
Speaker 7: I mean, these dudes are wearing biker shorts and ankles
Speaker 7: and they look stupid, and the n CUBA has finally
Speaker 7: had enough of it, and they're like, all right, listen,
Speaker 7: you guys, we're gonna suspend you if you don't wear
Speaker 7: your socks above your knee all the way up to
Speaker 7: your pants. Which this is something the NFL has been
Speaker 7: doing for long. Also, that is the.
Speaker 1: Most Austin Elmore take. I've heard it's about.
Speaker 2: I'm a uniform.
Speaker 3: Uniform.
Speaker 2: Yes, finally, Axes out of the Bearcats had a chance.
Speaker 2: I watched the first half on a man, They're they're
Speaker 2: hanging around Texas. All right, we may get something here.
Speaker 2: Upset stun Kansas, they come back, I'm like, man, they
Speaker 2: may win this skin. They did not.
Speaker 7: The Bearcats have gone from unwatchable to intriguing because you
Speaker 7: don't know what you're going to get when they take
Speaker 7: the floor. They play the way they did to get Kansas,
Speaker 7: you feel like they can beat anybody in the country.
Speaker 7: You play the way they did against Eastern Michigan earlier
Speaker 7: this year, you don't like, all right, Texas Tech as
Speaker 7: well the first nine minutes, So uh yeah, you never
Speaker 7: know what you're gonna get. They do have that ability,
Speaker 7: obviously to win games, and if they do, and if
Speaker 7: they go into the Big twelve tournament and are able
Speaker 7: to win one or two games, I don't think it's
Speaker 7: crazy to think they can make the tournament.
Speaker 1: But that inconsistency is going to be a prop I'm
Speaker 1: gonna kill you right there.
Speaker 2: Austell More today at noon on ESPN fifteen thirty with
Speaker 2: his sidekick Tony Pike. Yes, if he shows up?
Speaker 3: Is he there?
Speaker 2: He's here?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: I thought he'd be an Annapolis. What do you guys
Speaker 1: got on the show today?
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 7: Charlie Goldsmith has gone back and forth from Goodyear to
Speaker 7: Indianapolis and back to good Year. He's pumping out stories
Speaker 7: about the Reds and the Bengals will talk to him.
Speaker 7: Tommy g on his way to Minnesota for FC Cincinnati
Speaker 7: with trousers and a whole lot more. And also, Scott,
Speaker 7: I want to promote my podcast, what I have a podcast?
Speaker 7: We're out of time? Don't Lie podcast? What Bald Don't Lie?
Speaker 7: Available wherever you get your podcast?
Speaker 1: Did you say?
Speaker 7: Including on the iHeartRadio app helped me out two episodes
Speaker 7: this week, all about the NFL scouting combin.
Speaker 2: That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: Bald don't lie. You never heard of Rashid Wallace. You
Speaker 1: never heard that term?
Speaker 3: Never.
Speaker 2: Bald don't lie. I know you're bald, but that doesn't
Speaker 2: translate right here. Bald don't lie, Bald don't lie. You know,
Speaker 2: bald no ball, That's what I said. Bald Ball's bald
Speaker 2: on b alll ball. Oh that's a great name for
Speaker 2: a podcast. Yeah, great, Okay, we got to go. It's
Speaker 2: bald stupid, but bond a live bald online. How you're
Speaker 2: starting to make sense of things? Seven hundred ww Do
Speaker 2: you want to be an American Idiot's flow me back
Speaker 2: on seven hundred ww?
Speaker 3: Aging?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's fair. Is aging optional?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: We all age, but you can slow it down a bit.
Speaker 2: The question is how, and the answer is science. Our
Speaker 2: healthcare system, our culture in general were pretty much focus
Speaker 2: on treating symptoms and not prevention, and that is a
Speaker 2: I think that's a big problem for us, but that's
Speaker 2: how we think, that's how we're programmed. He is doctor
Speaker 2: Michael Zias. He's an internist and regenitive medicine specialist. And
Speaker 2: there are three or four big things you need to
Speaker 2: know if you want to slow your aging down a
Speaker 2: little bit. Not as important, probably not fill it your
Speaker 2: twenties or thirties, but the time you hit that forty
Speaker 2: year old mark on your old odometer, you start thinking, man,
Speaker 2: things are getting sore, I'm getting tired fast and all
Speaker 2: that stuff as well. And the solution may be something
Speaker 2: you can do yourself. Doctor Z's welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: How are you? Good morning? Thank you so much, for
Speaker 3: having me Scott.
Speaker 1: Yeah, would you agree on that too.
Speaker 2: As we tend to treat symptoms and diagnosies and go, okay,
Speaker 2: well we have a medicine for this, but instead of
Speaker 2: instead of fixing what's ailing you, we just kind of
Speaker 2: prop things up and mask over the signs.
Speaker 3: That is totally true.
Speaker 9: We tend to accept getting older as something that we
Speaker 9: need to take for granted, and it's normal to get older.
Speaker 9: But if we treat aging as a disease, which is
Speaker 9: a new concept in medicine, we can age in a
Speaker 9: totally different way and prevent chronic age raated diseases from
Speaker 9: happening in the first place. And that's what I talk
Speaker 9: about in my books.
Speaker 1: Let's go through that too.
Speaker 2: And it's something I do a few of these things already,
Speaker 2: and I've said this is a year I'm going to
Speaker 2: get more much more serious about it. I think as
Speaker 2: I get closer and closer to the big six tozero,
Speaker 2: farther away from the big five oh and closer to
Speaker 2: the six to oh.
Speaker 1: And I do and it works for me.
Speaker 2: I do internet efe And also I'll probably last meal
Speaker 2: I'll have is I don't know, maybe anywhere between five
Speaker 2: and seven o'clock and won't eat until after twelve o'clock
Speaker 2: the next day. And for those of my god, how
Speaker 2: are you doing that? I think it's easier as you
Speaker 2: get older because your body needs less calories to function.
Speaker 2: So let's talk about intermittent fasting and why that is
Speaker 2: so good for you.
Speaker 9: All right, So, one of the whole marks of aging
Speaker 9: is we have young cells in our bodies and we
Speaker 9: have old cells in our bodies. And the old cells
Speaker 9: not only do not function our bodies, but they also
Speaker 9: discrupt the young cells. And that's one of the reasons
Speaker 9: why we get older. And by doing what you're doing
Speaker 9: intermittent fasting or not eating for a period of time, you're.
Speaker 3: Getting rid of the old cells.
Speaker 9: So the body is like screaming, is like what's happening
Speaker 9: is that person's starving, So the body starts to eat
Speaker 9: the dead cells, the cancer cells. And how intermittent fasting
Speaker 9: work in longevity. I'm not a fan of prolong fasting
Speaker 9: where you don't eat for several days, because you can
Speaker 9: lose muscle masks if you skip a meal or eating
Speaker 9: between just eight hour period. That's great as long as
Speaker 9: you're eating the balanced diet, which in protein and antioxins
Speaker 9: and vitamins. You get rid of the old cell desin
Speaker 9: essm cells and one way to prolonged life. And that
Speaker 9: has been proven to prolonged life in many animal studies,
Speaker 9: even monkeys, so probably will do the same in humans
Speaker 9: as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, autophogy is what it's called.
Speaker 2: So basically as I understood it, and the simple way
Speaker 2: to explain this is like your body is always looking
Speaker 2: for something to do. Your body is very, very busy,
Speaker 2: even though you may be sleeping or whatever, it's looking
Speaker 2: for stuff to do. And if it's not busy digesting
Speaker 2: food and try and figure out, you know, where to
Speaker 2: send all the things here. It does housekeeping. It basically
Speaker 2: cleans house and that is cleaning up all the old
Speaker 2: dead cells. Some of those could promote things like cancer
Speaker 2: and other illnesses.
Speaker 3: That is totally true.
Speaker 9: And you know in the Middle East the rates of
Speaker 9: cancer are eighty five percent lower than the United States
Speaker 9: and Europe. And that's because of the intermittent fast thing
Speaker 9: they do during the religious holiday of Ramadant. So even
Speaker 9: though they eat massive amounts of sugar in eight hour period,
Speaker 9: that period of its kind of intermittent fasting, it's promotes
Speaker 9: authology and it kills the sentis themselves. So that's something
Speaker 9: we can learn from different countries around the world. That
Speaker 9: that's what I share in the book.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you can eat one big meal a day,
Speaker 2: you can pretty much eat, you know, with a restriction.
Speaker 2: You can't go at an entire trail asagn you or
Speaker 2: you know, three large pizzas, but you can eat your
Speaker 2: food and be full and still being a calorie deficit.
Speaker 1: So it also helps to lose weight, right, you.
Speaker 9: Know, you're talking like Brian Johnson who's pretty much just
Speaker 9: eating on one meal a day. That's very tough, but
Speaker 9: that probably has the most impact on longevity. But I
Speaker 9: would say we have to enjoy life. I'm not a
Speaker 9: fan of just not eating for a long time. But
Speaker 9: what you're doing is totally good because just eating an
Speaker 9: eight hour period is doable, is manageable. You're not the
Speaker 9: proving yourself and you're probably going to get the same benefits.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now if you're busy too, if I'm doing you know,
Speaker 2: a construction type of stuf, might have a bigger lunch
Speaker 2: and a decent sized dinner. But if I'm not, and
Speaker 2: it just you know, you gotta listen to your body
Speaker 2: and not stuff yourself all the time. And that's easier
Speaker 2: said that done, because food is so damn good. So
Speaker 2: intermatnfastening one thing you could do to slow down aging.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about processed foods and anti inflammatories and stuff
Speaker 2: like that. And the thing is, as you get older,
Speaker 2: you notice your body is so much more inflamed. What
Speaker 2: is your body telling you if you suffer from inflammation.
Speaker 9: So what happens is the old selves we have in
Speaker 9: our bodies are also not just not functioning, but they
Speaker 9: also are secreting inflammatory proteins. And that's how aging happens.
Speaker 9: And before you know it, you get wrinkled skin, you
Speaker 9: can get joint issues, you can get stomach issues, you
Speaker 9: can get weight gain, and that's inflammation. And one way
Speaker 9: to control aging is control inflammation by again intermittent fasting,
Speaker 9: but by also eating a balanced diet, which an empty oxidant, viatamins,
Speaker 9: mineral superfoods. People have to lose weight because belly fat
Speaker 9: is linked to inflammation.
Speaker 3: When we have so much.
Speaker 9: Fat around our bealues, that's secrete also inflammatory markers which
Speaker 9: are very bad for ourselves.
Speaker 3: So you have to control inflammation if you want to
Speaker 3: age in a good way.
Speaker 2: One thing, my wife did this not long ago because
Speaker 2: she was having just not feeling well and she went
Speaker 2: someone recommended a I forget what the name of it is,
Speaker 2: but basically as a diet tissue who focuses on that,
Speaker 2: and did a whole bunch of tests and found out
Speaker 2: that she had a gluten sensitivity and so things like
Speaker 2: gluten also eggs, mushrooms, like weird stuff she could eat
Speaker 2: and she's taken those things out of her die largely
Speaker 2: and feels so much better.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 9: Food allergies, of course, if you have food allergies, that
Speaker 9: can also cause inflammation, so that's a good way to
Speaker 9: get tested. You can do a skin test, you can.
Speaker 3: Do a blood test.
Speaker 9: That's your doctor's office to make sure to avoid the
Speaker 9: topes of food that you're intolerant to. Gluten intolerance is
Speaker 9: very rare. It's only one in two hundred people who
Speaker 9: have it. But if you have gluten intolerance, if you
Speaker 9: have civic disease, definitely have to avoid grains because that
Speaker 9: can cause it inflammation and just being on top of
Speaker 9: the house. We have a habit in the United States
Speaker 9: and we get a physical just once a year, and
Speaker 9: we think we're going to in a different way and
Speaker 9: then we go on top of our health. But really
Speaker 9: we have to think differently. We have to treat aging activities.
Speaker 9: We have to take a proactive approach. We have to
Speaker 9: know our food allergies, we have to know if there's inflammation.
Speaker 9: We have to be in a good way. We have
Speaker 9: to control aging, buy supplements, medications and so on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, as sactor Michael is Easy's an internest
Speaker 2: regenitive medicine specialists in his books The AGEUS Revolution, and
Speaker 2: the question is how do you slow down age? Can't
Speaker 2: stop it obviously, but you can help yourself as you
Speaker 2: get older through things like intermittent fasting. We're talking about
Speaker 2: proving processed foods from your diet and can you not eat?
Speaker 2: You know, are you so strict that you shouldn't need
Speaker 2: any of this stuff? I mean, who doesn't like a
Speaker 2: good cheeseburger once in a while, or I mentioned a
Speaker 2: pizza or something like that. You have to sustain yourself
Speaker 2: completely on whole grains. Could you work in a cheap
Speaker 2: day or two?
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 2: How's that work?
Speaker 9: The problem in the American diet fifty percent of our
Speaker 9: diet now is process and that's bad when we eat
Speaker 9: process food. We fine carbohydrate pizza, doughnut, sugar that promote aging,
Speaker 9: and we have to lower the amount of processed food
Speaker 9: we eat. I don't think we can eliminate it totally.
Speaker 9: I think if we go down to ten percent, maybe
Speaker 9: so having it, you know, a pizza once in a while,
Speaker 9: then cross whole weeks with a lot of vegetables.
Speaker 3: That's a good way.
Speaker 9: And if you're eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidens,
Speaker 9: vitamins and minerals, and you're exercising, you can probably counter
Speaker 9: effect the effect of process food that you're eating on occasions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gut health is another one too that we don't
Speaker 2: pay attention to. Years ago, as in the hospital, got
Speaker 2: seediff and had to you know, eat a lot of
Speaker 2: yogurt and khir and things like that, and you kind
Speaker 2: of notice you feel a little bit better when you
Speaker 2: have those enzymes in your gut.
Speaker 9: Yes, So gut health is one of the whole marks
Speaker 9: of aging that I talk about in my book. And
Speaker 9: I talked in my book also about the countries that
Speaker 9: have the longest lifespan and the blue zones where many
Speaker 9: of them live to one hundred and many of those
Speaker 9: countries they eat a diet that is rich in probiotically
Speaker 9: eat fermented food. Even countries not like the Blue zones,
Speaker 9: like South Korea, they eat kinschi. The women in South
Speaker 9: Korea are going to be the first to lift the
Speaker 9: age ninety. And the reason got so important because in
Speaker 9: our gut list trillions of bacteria. We have more god
Speaker 9: bacteria than thousand our bodies. And those bacteria promote longevity
Speaker 9: by doing vitamin K two, which prevents heart attack. They
Speaker 9: make a product called eulessine which supplies the mitochondria. The
Speaker 9: mitochondria are the batteries ourselves. And if we have bad bacteria,
Speaker 9: then we have back to inflammation what we just talked about.
Speaker 9: And believe it or not, Scott, we have a big problem.
Speaker 9: We're eating a lot of processed foods. We're not eating
Speaker 9: fermented foods, We're not eating enough yogurt, and that's why
Speaker 9: got is very poor. And we have now an epidemic
Speaker 9: of colon cancer in men below age fifty. And again
Speaker 9: it has to do with inflammation. So colling cancer's number
Speaker 9: one cancer now in men below age fifty. It has
Speaker 9: to do with our poor gut health. How much does
Speaker 9: it has to do with genetics. You've mentioned people that
Speaker 9: live to one hundred in the super agers, but that
Speaker 9: seems more genetic than lifestyle.
Speaker 3: Wrong.
Speaker 9: According to the research I've done for the book, I
Speaker 9: believe seventy percent of our longevity is related to the
Speaker 9: things we do diet, stress management, addequate sleep, exercise, only
Speaker 9: thirty percent genetics play a role. And that's why we
Speaker 9: can control our genetic destiny by doing all the good
Speaker 9: things that we can control, or at least we try.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean genetics do go a long way.
Speaker 2: That's why you see people who you know, eat like
Speaker 2: crap for years and years they live into their eighties.
Speaker 2: But you know, you look around your average nursing home,
Speaker 2: you don't see many too many obese people at nursing homes.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I talked in my book that the longest person living
Speaker 9: in the world was a French woman and she smoked.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you're right.
Speaker 9: It's like really has to do with with luck. But
Speaker 9: I think we all have to try to do our
Speaker 9: very best, not only to eat a good a good diet,
Speaker 9: a balanced die think way from fat diet, low fat
Speaker 9: diet with access sugar, low cop is all the chemicals
Speaker 9: night tried. I'm right now the country is moving in
Speaker 9: the right direction by limiting all the chemicals in our
Speaker 9: processed food. So I'm glad that. But just that's one
Speaker 9: of the steps to control aging. There's many things to
Speaker 9: do to control aging again, express management, adequate sleep, supplementation,
Speaker 9: and medications. Now there are medications to control aging that
Speaker 9: the doctors are not aware of, and that's why I
Speaker 9: want to educate the public about that. We can, you know,
Speaker 9: age in a completely different way with all the advances.
Speaker 3: We have in medicine.
Speaker 1: One of the things I hear, I mean, there's you
Speaker 1: know omega threes and.
Speaker 3: You take that.
Speaker 1: I do take vitamin D. My vitamin D lovels are perfect.
Speaker 2: I take I take supplements.
Speaker 9: Okay, so fish oil is very important. Fish oil one
Speaker 9: grammar day can give you four years of longevity. That's amazing.
Speaker 9: And many of us are not taking fish oil or
Speaker 9: we know it's good for us, but we exact to
Speaker 9: take it. But if we're consistent, we can have an
Speaker 9: extra years of longevity just by taking fish oil.
Speaker 6: I heard.
Speaker 2: The big one too is vitamin D. We don't get
Speaker 2: a vitamin D. That's that when comes of cancers and
Speaker 2: things like that.
Speaker 9: Yes, absolutely, so believe in not Scott. Vitamin D is
Speaker 9: so important not only for longevity but also for presenttion
Speaker 9: of COVID. We had a very high rate of mortality
Speaker 9: in the United States from COVID. And if you take
Speaker 9: a look at I live in New York, if you
Speaker 9: take a look at Florida, they had less mortality from
Speaker 9: COVID than we did here in New York in the Northeast.
Speaker 9: Because vitamin D is mostly from the sun. So vitamin
Speaker 9: D not only plays a role in longevity, but it's
Speaker 9: also the immune system prevention of COVID and so on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so our.
Speaker 9: Mortaliti rate was ten time times in Japan and South
Speaker 9: Korea from COVID and that was really motivated what motivated
Speaker 9: me to write The Age's Revolution because right now aging
Speaker 9: is happening in young people. You don't have to be
Speaker 9: old to be you can be in America, you geld
Speaker 9: young and old in the same time because of the
Speaker 9: lifestyle choices we make.
Speaker 2: One of the big components of people hate hearing this
Speaker 2: is exercise, a little resistance training, you know, bands, free weight,
Speaker 2: stuff like that. But you know some of these are
Speaker 2: like wow, you need to work out for sixty minutes
Speaker 2: a day, seven days a week or five days a
Speaker 2: week or whatever, and especially as you get older, that's
Speaker 2: really really tough to do, and it's tough to do
Speaker 2: with your schedule. So how much is enough when it
Speaker 2: comes to exercise, i'llbeit just you go and walk on
Speaker 2: the dog or walk around the block or something like that.
Speaker 9: I think any type of exercise you do, regardless of
Speaker 9: the amount of time you do, is good for you.
Speaker 9: Aerobic and aerobic, but definitely high intensity interval training has
Speaker 9: the most impact on longevity.
Speaker 3: Believe it or not.
Speaker 9: It can add ten years to our lives. But that's
Speaker 9: a very tough type of exercise to do. So I
Speaker 9: also recommend balance, you know, walking, running, doing a little
Speaker 9: bit of streadmills, lifting weight as we get older, so
Speaker 9: don't lose muscle mass. And if you're in good health,
Speaker 9: then you could do hit.
Speaker 3: That's fine. Do it, that's good, that's great.
Speaker 2: To start to wear the joints down, and you got
Speaker 2: to segue into something else. That's all.
Speaker 1: If you doctor is easy.
Speaker 2: If you eat like crap, like in your forties, fifties,
Speaker 2: maybe your sixties as well, can you still reverse all
Speaker 2: this stuff or at least slow time.
Speaker 3: I do think so.
Speaker 9: I think the body has the ability to reset and
Speaker 9: to reboot. And the body, you know, so many people
Speaker 9: are overweight, so many people are diabetics. But if they
Speaker 9: follow a balanced diet of they exercise, they can reverse that.
Speaker 9: And there are supplements and medication that can help them.
Speaker 9: So wait, now, look at the GLP for example, GLP
Speaker 9: drugs and making everybody stand. Now, everybody's taking them, and
Speaker 9: they're reversing diabetes, they're reversing obesity, they're reversing inflammation. You
Speaker 9: can use muscle mass if you don't change your eating
Speaker 9: habits and you're eating, you know, a lot of crap
Speaker 9: instead of proteins and a good diet. But they have
Speaker 9: changed the way we control our weight.
Speaker 1: Where are you on testosterone supplements.
Speaker 9: I'm very big, big proponent of TRT as we get older,
Speaker 9: because the stostrun is declining all over the United States,
Speaker 9: especially in young people. Again, it has to do with stress,
Speaker 9: has to do with low vitamin D, has to do
Speaker 9: with don't enough eat seafood with zinc. And as the
Speaker 9: starstrum goes down, man, we start to feel tired, we
Speaker 9: start to get belly fat we start to get and
Speaker 9: the biggest problem with declining dystostroon is it shortens our life.
Speaker 9: And the problem is doctors don routinely checked with the
Speaker 9: stostrom and if they do check with the stostron, they
Speaker 9: don't do anything about it, or they may tell you
Speaker 9: they compare you to any eighty year old. They know
Speaker 9: your distostrum is normal and the fact this distostrum is
Speaker 9: very low because you want to always be compared to
Speaker 9: the younger person.
Speaker 3: You could be. I don't want to be compared to
Speaker 3: an older person, right.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, but yeah, and all these things kind of factor.
Speaker 2: And anyway, aging is certainly not optional. We're all aging,
Speaker 2: but you can slow it down and as you get older,
Speaker 2: of course time is more precious than anything. And if
Speaker 2: you can help yourself with a healthier, longer life, then
Speaker 2: by all means you got to make some lifestyle change.
Speaker 2: Is to justin pivot, but hell do it. Doctor Michael

Speaker 8: puts her different paperwork and like ten different cools.
Speaker 3: When she gets audited, looks like she's going on a picnic. Okay,
Speaker 3: it's just.
Speaker 2: It's it's like I could just picture her office, Paul.
Speaker 2: It looks like and everyone's office is his way. When
Speaker 2: the like the FBI comes in to do a raid,
Speaker 2: it's always in disarray. Like if you watch any of
Speaker 2: those cops you ever noticed, like watching all those detective
Speaker 2: shows where somebody gets murdered, I get down rabbit holes
Speaker 2: and no one has like everyone who gets.
Speaker 1: Murdered or murders a clean house. It's always an how
Speaker 1: how do you know?
Speaker 8: Like literally, she'd have like catalogs backed up of different furniture, right,
Speaker 8: and she'd be like, oh, I think I know, she's
Speaker 8: like and then all of a sudden, like in the
Speaker 8: middle of a stack, there's a ham sandwich from five
Speaker 8: eight years ago.
Speaker 3: Right, But man, you hit it on the head.
Speaker 8: So this was our house growing up, right, because the
Speaker 8: focus of our lives was this score.
Speaker 3: So like you think of town, we're Italian besides spent
Speaker 3: a time. Now you think Italian. You think you know
Speaker 3: the super neat house, the plastic on the furniture. You
Speaker 3: know that whole lot of gold, A lot of gold,

Speaker 2: I get a lot of gold, A lot of gold,
Speaker 2: A lot of garland.
Speaker 3: Smells everything smells a garlic. There you go.
Speaker 8: So so our house was the opposite. It was literally
Speaker 8: like you just described, it was just like a CSI
Speaker 8: I see, like it was insane.
Speaker 2: And your mom's still going, I think that's fantastic, ninety
Speaker 2: six years old, salute.

Speaker 3: and I'm like, mom, what are you doing?
Speaker 8: She goes, well, these new bet no, they're old batteries,
Speaker 8: and she's trying to recharge them by putting them in
Speaker 8: the refrigerator. She's like cryogenically freezing batteries until they come
Speaker 8: back to life like some mad scientists. Like we had
Speaker 8: to take her license away. You want to know why
Speaker 8: why she hit a tree with her car? You know
Speaker 8: where the tree was in her own front yard man,
Speaker 8: she hit a tree in her own front yard.
Speaker 2: Okay, the fact your mom's ninety six, for guys, don't
Speaker 2: know how, because my people are Italian too, And you
Speaker 2: look at the food that we eat, you pizza, spaghetti,
Speaker 2: and a lot of cheese and oil and more cheese

Speaker 3: and she was like putting raisins and things like she
Speaker 3: was like she might put them in an apple pot,
Speaker 3: and like we just leave it. You don't listen to me.
Speaker 8: Here's the thing about raisins. You don't put raisins in
Speaker 8: an oat milk cookie. You don't him in a muffin.
Speaker 8: You know where you put them? You put them in
Speaker 8: the toilet. Okay, they're raising. Okay, think about it. What's

Speaker 2: you can have. It's yeah, it's like, yeah, right, it's.
