WEBVTT - Eddie & Rocky -- 10/29/25 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.920 A little wired, but I'm raided rock man. Uh missed you. 0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:06.360 By the way. Everybody like I'd say, about one third 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:10.239 of my plane coming from Atlanta back to Cincinnati, A 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:13.160 lanted about one one third of the plane is like, 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:16.360 are you gonna make it for the show. I'm like, yeah, man, 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:20.160 I'm like, Eddie misses me. I'm definitely gonna be there. 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.360 So that's right. I can't carry on another day without 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:23.800 your son. 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:25.239 Yeah. 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:27.720 Right, But you were in you were in uh well 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:29.280 well down outside Austin. 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:33.000 Yeah. I was in San Marcos, Texas for the big 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:37.680 JMU at Texas State game last night on ESPN two. 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:40.800 It was a good game for half and then it wasn't. 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.640 JAMU is really good. I think they could make the 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.640 college football Playoff, for what that's worth. But nevertheless, while 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:51.000 I was gone, Ed, I saw this news and and 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:55.480 and obviously you did two. Amazon is laying off thirty 0:00:55.760 --> 0:01:00.040 thousand people, okay. And these are largely like, you know, 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:05.000 like corporate kind of desk jobs, and it's all because 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:09.280 of AI. And you know how that is just made 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:13.560 the workplace so different anymore. And there's it does make 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.080 you wonder and you and I have had guests on 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.920 about this before Edin. We're tracking down our guy right now. 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:25.360 Throughout history, it's always like, you know, inventions and technology 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:30.560 have increased jobs and have have made things better. You 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.440 and I talk all the time. I disagree, Like, I 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.560 really wonder if AI is something that's going to spur 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.600 a bunch of new jobs or is it just going 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:44.199 to take over you know, blue collar jobs, white collar jobs, 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.280 and anything involving technology. Why would you hire a person 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:51.360 to do it when a computer can do it and 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.960 instantaneously and so much more efficient than than you or 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.720 I or any any human being can. So what do 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.400 people do for work in the future. If you're a 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.000 a guy and a kid, a girl, a guy in 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.560 high school right now and you're thinking about going into 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.880 you know, coding or something like, are you going to 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.320 have a job? Is there something you know in that 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:16.120 field anymore? What's the modern workforce look like for for people, 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:17.519 especially young young folks. 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:22.000 Well, that's the thing is that everybody's been saying AI 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.119 is going to replace jobs, this and that and the other, 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.000 and the people were saying, oh no, they're going to 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.480 be you can, you'll get another job. Well, these people 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:31.519 aren't getting new jobs. 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.160 Dude, No, I feel like and we'll talk to our 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.000 guests about it. I mean, I think, at least for 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.840 the time being, more more blue collar jobs like construction 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.960 things like that will open up. But you know, there's 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.680 a lot of people sitting in a in a college 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.680 and a freshman you know, computer class right now. That's saying, look, 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.720 I don't necessarily want to frame houses, so you know, 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.800 you know, but do you have an option at this point? 0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.560 Do you have or is there any future in some 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.120 of these the tech fields that were have been a 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.160 part of many jobs for god the last couple of decades. 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.600 Well, and that's we've had guests on about that too. 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:16.240 Rock is that more and more young people have switched 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.840 to more of a blue collar type of approach to it. 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.560 And hey, the world needs plumbers and welders and builders, Hamstring. 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.880 I mean more than you need another computer programmer. Obviously 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:29.520 you do. 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.200 But I feel like it's happened so fast that you know, 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.400 how much how long is that correction going to take 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:39.920 where a young person that's in high school getting ready 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.000 to go to college, are they going to be able 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:46.240 to wrap their mind around that change fast enough to 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:47.960 be able to go into a field where they can 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.560 have a job and you know, and make make money 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.600 and support a family and all that sort of thing. 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:54.920 It kind of remains to be seen. And the other 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:58.400 thing too, is you wonder what is the for people 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:03.200 that don't fully understand the ins and outs of AI, 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.480 Like how far behind are you? You know? Like I 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.880 understand some of it, I don't. I can't say I 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.120 utilize it a ton. I usialize it a little bit 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:13.760 day to day. But if you're somewhere out there that 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.080 has no idea how it works, doesn't want to know 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.760 how it works, what's your future in this thing? 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:20.159 Well? 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:24.640 I will tell you that my youngest son, Luke has. 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:26.600 Yeah, he did. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.560 He did the usual kid stuff and worked serve. You know, 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.640 he worked at the fast food joint, and he did 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.800 this and that and the other, and uh, he got 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.919 a job working in a small factory metal metal fabrication 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:42.520 and theres nothing about it. 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:43.960 But you know what he did. 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.320 He went in and put his nose to the grindstone 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.720 and just started watching what those guys do. And now 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.840 he is. He's not a foreman. He's only been he's 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.120 been there less than a year. He's not a foreman. 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:59.120 But he is moving. He's rapidly moving up the chain 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.480 right home. I'm like, dude, you keep this up, You're 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.360 going to own this place in like two years. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.200 Yeah. Yeah, But but that's that's the mentality it's going 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.559 to take. Is is making a kind of a quick 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.120 correction turn and into what you want to do, and 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.520 and and figuring that out and and you know, and 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.479 being able to go with the flow. And I think 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.720 if you're I hate to say it, but if you're 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:23.080 at a point where you're very resistant to all of 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.560 these new things that AI brings along and and the 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.320 replacement of jobs, that you're going to be kind of 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:29.839 s o l here moving forward. 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:30.599 See. 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.160 Well, I've always said that if I couldn't have done this, 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.400 I don't know what the hell I had ended up doing. 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.040 I'm not lyning to yet, I'd be a bark. 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.080 You see you strap it on a tool belt and 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.080 with your pipe is you know, pipes and your wrenches 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:45.600 and stuff. 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.279 You haven't seen me try to build something, dude. 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:53.400 Uh, that's a great mental image, by the way, right, No, 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:58.560 your cigarette growed up in your in your your shirt there. 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.040 Actually, when I was a younger, I it was one 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.360 of those things where whilst I put my nose to it, 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.719 I my first house I bought, I did do some 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:11.400 work in that house and hunk some I hunk some 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.640 drywall and and finish hunk and finished drywall. I did 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.960 that for a little bit in high school and just 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:22.320 stuff like that. But basic plumbing and electric especially, man, 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.960 I don't know if you can deal with electricity knock 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.159 yourself out because I did not want to touch that stuff. 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:34.159 I feel like you do have to again and find 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.160 a way where you got to make a figure out 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:39.520 a way to make the machines and technology work for you. 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.680 You can't work for it, if that makes sense, you know, 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.960 And some of these a lot of these you know, 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:49.279 computer jobs, even corporate jobs that you know have to 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.279 do with filing and you know, and and all that 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.039 sort of thing that those are going to be gone. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:54.600 But if you can figure out a way to make 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:59.400 the technology work for you, that's I think that's the 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.800 path to do it. And I don't know it's but 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.320 it's definitely changing pretty quickly, way quickly. 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.599 Based on what we were just going to be talking about. 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.920 Pretty soon we're going to be working for technology, you 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:12.400 know what I mean. 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.280 That's the thing. Is there a future? Yeah, well that's 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.080 the thing. I think that and I'm just you know, 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.800 I'm just thinking out loud. But you know, if you're 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:26.080 working for that stuff, I don't know what the future is. 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:27.240 But if you can figure out a way to make 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.720 the technology work for you, then you may have a 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.080 have a future and you can you know, go and 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.720 make a bunch of money and go about that way. 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:39.960 But yeah, if you're just sitting there waiting on you know, 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.040 being able to do kind of normal tech jobs that 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:47.440 have been around for again ten twenty years, those probably 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:48.480 aren't going to be there anymore. 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.600 All right with that, let's check in with traffic and weather. 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:52.600 What is going on? 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:58.640 Always remember measure twice cut Once there you go, just 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:02.680 a little bit of help for transitioning into another technical 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:04.400 cap yep, you know. 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.040 This show is fun and educating too. 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:07.800 There you go. 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.600 In the you See Health traffic center with a stroke 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.520 every second count.

You can say like 0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:50.040 whatever such and such song without minus the bass, and 0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:54.240 it's like, god, it's really really crazy. Now. The Doors, 0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:57.600 of course, the best band of all time, famously did 0:22:57.680 --> 0:22:59.880 not have a bass player. Well really until their last 0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:03.199 La Woman had a bass player on it. But before that, 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:08.639 Raymond Zer played a bass organ with his left hand 0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:11.600 and then played like regular piano organ with his right hand, 0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:12.520 which is kind of cool. 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:16.960 See that's a that's another thing. I'm not nearing ambidextrious 0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:20.119 enough to ever try to do something like that. I 0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:26.240 can completely can't do crap with my left hand. You 0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:28.120 know what I'm saying, Well, what happens if you break 0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:30.280 your right hand head? I mean, well, I'm gonna have 0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:33.320 to learn something at the at the ripe old age. 0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:34.040 Of sixty eight. 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:40.520 To well, I think maybe if I was younger and 0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:43.040 I'd have tried more back then, but you know, you 0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:46.080 just kind of if you haven't used your your left 0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:49.959 hand in uh, you know, fifty years, then it just 0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:53.159 uh it says, well, I'll let the right hand do everything. 0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:58.080 There you go, that's uh in another news that this 0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:00.200 is an article that this is like right eye of 0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:04.399 a sci fi movie. Okay, this is in Mississippi, so 0:24:04.520 --> 0:24:11.000 close to Florida. So there's these they had these primates, right, 0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:16.160 monkeys that were used in scientific research okay at Tulane. Okay, 0:24:16.160 --> 0:24:21.400 in Tulane University's National and Biomedical Research Center. But they 0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:27.040 were they're traveling from one site to another, and again, 0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:29.679 right out of a sci fi movie, the truck overturns 0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:33.800 and boom, spill out onto the highway and eventually escape. 0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:39.680 Are all these monkeys that are carrying hepatitis, c herpes, 0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:43.920 and COVID. So they're just like running around the Deep 0:24:43.960 --> 0:24:48.679 South right now, yeah, I know. As yeah. As for 0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:51.439 the primates that fled, authorities are working with experts at 0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:55.760 the Mississippi Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to quote destroy 0:24:56.720 --> 0:25:00.520 their remain so they don't want these thing is getting 0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:05.880 out and you know, infecting everything else with with hepsi, herpes, 0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:08.199 and COVID. And that's a bad combination. If you have 0:25:08.200 --> 0:25:09.720 all three of those, I would think, no. 0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:14.520 Kid, Well, those poor monkeys, what are they just shoot 0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:16.000 them up with anything they can think of. 0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:17.000 I reckon, I don't know. 0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:21.800 I guess and test them, but it really is, dude, 0:25:21.880 --> 0:25:24.160 right out of a out of a fricking movie. 0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:28.399 Huh. If you've seen the movie Army of the Dead, 0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:30.800 it's one of those new I was, said the director. 0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:33.560 He's kind of like with those new hot directors. And 0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:36.520 a Batista's in and it zombie the one that said 0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:39.400 breakout in Las Vegas and Vegas. Yeah, yep, I saw that. 0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:42.560 And that's how this movie starts, right, they're transporting this 0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:45.119 one like zombie thing and there's a wreck on the 0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:48.160 highway and he escapes and then kind of founds this 0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:52.160 whole zombie colony in Vegas. It's actually a pretty good movie. 0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:56.080 It's it's super far fetched, of course, but uh yeah, man, 0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:58.280 that's how it starts, just like this. 0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:01.639 Well, let's get back to the rock for just a second. 0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:04.800 Rocky and talked to Russ and Marrimont.

Yes, and here we are. It's that time 0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:14.040 of year. It's fall, Halloween around the corner, and two 0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:18.400 brothers have just set a Guinness World Record for the 0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:23.400 heaviest pumpkin. Okay, and these folks are in where they at, 0:30:23.800 --> 0:30:30.920 They're in England somewhere, and the the pumpkin that they 0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:36.800 have grown, they set the world record two nineteen pounds. 0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:37.800 Damn. 0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:42.560 Crazy big right now. And of course went down a 0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:45.840 rabbit hole with this. And there's like a belief in 0:30:45.880 --> 0:30:49.480 the the pumpkin growing community. If there's no limits on 0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:52.440 how big a pumpkin can grow. It's not like, you know, 0:30:52.600 --> 0:30:55.920 like a sunflower, for instance, it's only going to get 0:30:55.920 --> 0:30:58.640 so big, right, But a pumpkin, you know, they can 0:30:58.840 --> 0:31:02.320 they can keep get getting bigger and bigger. And the 0:31:02.600 --> 0:31:05.840 evidence of that is you go back ten years ago 0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:10.280 and a two thousand pound pumpkin was like, that's like 0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:12.360 as big as it gets, right, That's that was the 0:31:12.360 --> 0:31:15.640 biggest ones. And now the Holy Grail, of course, is 0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:18.760 trying to find one that is three thousand pounds. These 0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:21.960 guys are what about you know, lid just shy of 0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:26.440 two hundred pounds off of that. They also said the record, 0:31:26.640 --> 0:31:27.400 Yeah good. 0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:29.120 No, I was going to say, I don't know how 0:31:29.120 --> 0:31:31.160 you'd tend to something like that, but go ahead, we'll 0:31:31.200 --> 0:31:31.680 talk about it. 0:31:32.200 --> 0:31:34.160 Well, I will tell you because again I went down 0:31:34.200 --> 0:31:37.840 the rabbit hole. And obviously it's it's like anything, it 0:31:38.240 --> 0:31:40.480 starts with the seed, and you can't just go get 0:31:40.480 --> 0:31:44.000 a normal pumpkin seed and expect to grow a pumpkin 0:31:44.080 --> 0:31:46.320 that's you know, hundreds and hundreds of pounds, if not 0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:49.960 thousands of pounds. But outside of that, it is after 0:31:50.000 --> 0:31:52.600 you get the right seed that's been you know, it's 0:31:52.640 --> 0:31:56.000 been modified to grow big, and it's actually like a 0:31:56.000 --> 0:32:01.800 form of squash. And after that it's just kind of 0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:04.760 selecting the right place in the right fertile ground and 0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:08.240 having enough space and watering it, and then you got 0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:10.840 to prune the vines and and all that. But I mean, 0:32:10.840 --> 0:32:12.960 these guys have been doing this for decades and they 0:32:13.480 --> 0:32:16.280 this is like their thing. This thing is I mean 0:32:16.280 --> 0:32:19.680 it's the size of like a like a bison, right, 0:32:19.720 --> 0:32:26.000 I mean over a ton. I mean good night, I 0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:27.320 don't well, giant. 0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:29.360 Yeah, when we go and get into how do you 0:32:29.400 --> 0:32:32.600 transport the damn thing? You got to get a rigular. 0:32:32.360 --> 0:32:34.840 And well you can see this picture I have here, 0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:36.720 I mean, this is all it's. Yeah, see it's on 0:32:36.800 --> 0:32:40.280 a It takes a forklift. It's a palette and a 0:32:40.320 --> 0:32:45.120 forklift to wheel this thing around. But I mean that'll 0:32:45.200 --> 0:32:46.600 be wild. I mean, here a couple of years that 0:32:46.680 --> 0:32:51.320 we'll be talking about a three thousand pound pumpkin. And 0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:53.640 I feel like we've we've talked about this before, and 0:32:53.640 --> 0:32:56.040 I feel like we had a caller call in and 0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:58.320 talk with that that did this or kind of knows 0:32:58.360 --> 0:32:59.800 the ins and outs and doing it. If you're listening 0:32:59.880 --> 0:33:02.280 right now, call the show just how you go about 0:33:02.960 --> 0:33:07.880 growing these world record size pumpkins, because yeah, it's uh 0:33:08.160 --> 0:33:08.720 pretty cool. 0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:09.560 These. 0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:11.560 By the way, these same guys also set the record 0:33:11.600 --> 0:33:16.640 for the biggest circumference of a of a pumpkin, So 0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:17.479 there you go. 0:33:17.800 --> 0:33:20.360 Yeah, I remember when when you first brought that up, 0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:22.640 I was thinking we did talk to somebody from around 0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:25.760 here describing how you do that stuff, and it is 0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:29.760 pretty involved. I mean, it's like shading it sometime from 0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:33.600 the hot sun and just keep them maintaining the. 0:33:33.600 --> 0:33:35.560 Other thing you gotta do and you gotta I think 0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:37.840 this is with all pumpkins, so I'm not mistaken. You 0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:40.400 farmers out there would would be able to correct me. 0:33:40.480 --> 0:33:42.880 But I think you gotta, like, you gotta rotate them 0:33:42.920 --> 0:33:45.880 around because if they just lay on in the same spot, 0:33:45.920 --> 0:33:48.560 they get really flat. So you gotta kind of roll them, 0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:51.200 and you know that that sort of thing. I've actually 0:33:51.240 --> 0:33:54.600 seen people take like a mold and kind of grow 0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:56.479 the pumpkin inside the mold, and you can get a 0:33:56.680 --> 0:34:01.240 pumpkin that has like a whatever empire face or something, 0:34:01.280 --> 0:34:01.760 you know what I mean. 0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:04.720 Oh, I've seen those guys, yeah, you know on TV. 0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:06.760 And it's like a like a like a block, you know, 0:34:06.960 --> 0:34:08.520 or like a square kind of thing. 0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:10.800 Yeah, they but yeah, I guess you would put in 0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:13.319 a mold or something. But but those people who carve 0:34:13.360 --> 0:34:16.000 pumpkins and you see them on TV and it looks 0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:18.799 exactly like they can make it look like you or 0:34:18.840 --> 0:34:22.439 me or you know, whoever the hell they can trump 0:34:22.560 --> 0:34:24.600 or something like that or whatever you wanted to take. 0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:28.400 Yeah, trump pumpkin. But I don't know how you learn. 0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:30.960 How to do that. Man, that's I have to say. 0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:33.680 That's a great talent. But I wouldn't begin to know 0:34:33.680 --> 0:34:34.160 how to do that. 0:34:34.239 --> 0:34:36.640 Yeah, it's just it's just, you know, it's just cool. 0:34:36.680 --> 0:34:40.000 It's just to see the things people are into. And again, 0:34:40.000 --> 0:34:42.720 these guys have been doing this for decades and decades. 0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:46.879 They're two brothers and they you know, they know how 0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:48.360 to do it.

This is the four 0:35:29.880 --> 0:35:33.239 o'clock report. I'm Matt Reeese breaking. 0:35:32.920 --> 0:35:36.000 Now, conditions in the labor market appeared to be gradually cooling, 0:35:36.440 --> 0:35:38.719 and inflation remains somewhat elevated. 0:35:38.840 --> 0:35:41.759 Man's a Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Paul on 0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:44.239 the news about interest rates in support. 0:35:43.920 --> 0:35:45.560 Of our goals and in light of the balance of 0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:49.239 risks to employment and inflation. Today the Federal Open Market 0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:52.560 Committee decided to lower our policy interest rate by a 0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:53.880 quarter percentage point. 0:35:53.680 --> 0:35:56.400 Which means borrowing money will be a little bit cheaper. 0:35:56.480 --> 0:35:59.280 The FED cutting it down a quarter of a point. 0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:01.080 This was idly expected. 0:36:01.360 --> 0:36:04.360 What it's going to do is make borrowing costs for 0:36:04.440 --> 0:36:08.279 consumers and businesses a little less expensive. By that, I 0:36:08.360 --> 0:36:11.240 mean your credit card interest rate, your auto loan interest 0:36:11.280 --> 0:36:13.759 rate may come down a little bit because of this. 0:36:13.760 --> 0:36:17.040 This rate is not directly tied to mortgage rates, though 0:36:17.080 --> 0:36:20.319 we have seen mortgage rates come down in anticipation of 0:36:20.360 --> 0:36:21.320 the FED cutting rates. 0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:26.480 And ABC's Alexis christoffers second rate cut this year. Will 0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:30.200 there be another before twenty twenty six? Chairman Poul says 0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:33.960 probably not. Says a further reduction of the policy rate 0:36:34.000 --> 0:36:37.680 in December is not a fore gone conclusion, according to Paul. 0:36:37.800 --> 0:36:40.640 In fact, far from it.

Have you guys ever been there? I mean, Rocky, 0:45:20.080 --> 0:45:23.480 you must have been there a few times, right the courthouse. 0:45:24.719 --> 0:45:29.399 I haven't been in trouble with the laws. That's it's 0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:31.239 the last time you went on a slutty fire about 0:45:31.239 --> 0:45:39.200 out there. Yeah, it was a big hit in the case, That's. 0:45:39.040 --> 0:45:39.520 What I thought. 0:45:40.960 --> 0:45:43.759 So the Campbell County Courthouse, which by the way, was 0:45:44.160 --> 0:45:47.560 built between eighteen eighty three and eighteen eighty four for 0:45:47.680 --> 0:45:52.520 a whopping one thousand dollars. Wow, I know inflation right. 0:45:53.960 --> 0:45:55.560 By the way, you guys, my friends hate that I 0:45:55.600 --> 0:45:57.320 have this job. We're like walking down the street and 0:45:57.360 --> 0:46:00.359 I'm like, you know in eighteen fifty They're like, oh 0:46:00.400 --> 0:46:03.040 my gosh, stop it. Anyway, So the courthouse, that was 0:46:03.360 --> 0:46:06.239 the last execution that was done there was for the 0:46:06.320 --> 0:46:10.080 murderers of Pearl Brian. Do you guys remember Pearl Brian. 0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:10.960 Have you heard about her? 0:46:11.960 --> 0:46:12.000 No? 0:46:12.800 --> 0:46:13.440 I don't think so. 0:46:13.760 --> 0:46:17.760 Okay, it may start sounding familiar. It made pretty massive 0:46:17.800 --> 0:46:19.799 news around here in the eighteen hundreds, but it's still 0:46:19.840 --> 0:46:23.000 talked about today. She was a young lady in the 0:46:23.080 --> 0:46:25.560 late eighteen hundreds eighteen ninety six. She was twenty two 0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:30.200 years old from Indiana, and a guy from Cincinnati, Scott Jackson, 0:46:30.320 --> 0:46:33.840 decapitated her because she got pregnant out of wedlock and 0:46:33.960 --> 0:46:35.879 he didn't want to have to deal with the baby, 0:46:35.960 --> 0:46:38.960 so he decapitated her while she was still alive. And 0:46:39.080 --> 0:46:41.480 it's rumored the head was never found, and it's rumored 0:46:41.520 --> 0:46:43.759 to be under where Bobby Mackie's used to be, which 0:46:43.800 --> 0:46:47.080 is why Bobby Mackie's was felt wanted over the other 0:46:47.160 --> 0:46:51.560 side of the river. Yeah, sure, And anyway, so they 0:46:52.040 --> 0:46:55.400 get these guys, Scott Jackson and Alonzo Walling. They drugged 0:46:55.440 --> 0:46:59.800 her with cocaine and then decapitated her in Fort Thomas 0:47:00.120 --> 0:47:02.239 and left the body but took the head and they 0:47:02.320 --> 0:47:05.359 took it like. Once they decapitated her, they put her 0:47:05.480 --> 0:47:07.479 head in a bag and then went to a pub 0:47:08.320 --> 0:47:10.799 and they gave the bag to the bartender to take 0:47:10.840 --> 0:47:13.080 care of while they were drinking. And the bartender was like, oh, 0:47:13.160 --> 0:47:14.799 this is heavy. Is there a bowling ball in here? 0:47:15.160 --> 0:47:17.720 And Scott Jackson, the guy that murdered, he just smiled. 0:47:17.960 --> 0:47:20.560 He was like yes. And then when they were hanged 0:47:20.800 --> 0:47:24.120 on the lawn right in front of Newport, in front 0:47:24.120 --> 0:47:27.360 of Campbell County Courthouse, the ropes were not measured correctly, 0:47:27.920 --> 0:47:30.120 so instead of jumping and having their necks broken, they 0:47:30.200 --> 0:47:32.960 slowly strangled to death over a few minutes, which I 0:47:33.080 --> 0:47:36.840 call karma. But because of that through aut campbellt County 0:47:36.880 --> 0:47:39.880 Courthouse the other day, there's a man that stands in 0:47:39.960 --> 0:47:42.319 the bell tower and we think that's Scott Jackson still 0:47:42.360 --> 0:47:46.360 because he died in a slow way, that his spirit 0:47:46.440 --> 0:47:48.239 is still hanging around as it should be because he 0:47:48.280 --> 0:47:49.359 did a really terrible thing. 0:47:49.760 --> 0:47:53.200 Yes, Now, what do you when you see something like that? 0:47:53.360 --> 0:47:56.560 Are you just seeing a shadowy figure or is there 0:47:56.640 --> 0:47:57.759 a face attached to it? 0:47:57.920 --> 0:47:59.680 Or what it was? 0:47:59.719 --> 0:48:02.560 When I saw him, we were there sort of late 0:48:02.600 --> 0:48:04.200 at night training on a tour and I looked up 0:48:04.239 --> 0:48:06.120 and I just saw like it looked like there was 0:48:06.160 --> 0:48:07.840 a man in the bell tower. And I looked up 0:48:07.880 --> 0:48:11.319 and I turned to my fellow guy, Laura. I was like, hey, 0:48:11.600 --> 0:48:13.080 there's a guy up there. And then we looked back 0:48:13.120 --> 0:48:15.600 and he wasn't there, and She's like, no one's ever 0:48:15.680 --> 0:48:17.480 in the Bell Tower. You must have seen the ghosts 0:48:17.480 --> 0:48:19.160 of Scott Jackson. Wow. 0:48:20.360 --> 0:48:21.120 Now wow. 0:48:21.360 --> 0:48:23.480 So and this is like, I mean, is this a 0:48:23.560 --> 0:48:25.880 pretty well known one or is this a little bit 0:48:25.920 --> 0:48:27.840 more obscure? I guess. 0:48:29.280 --> 0:48:33.280 Pearl Brian made like nationwide news in the eighteen hundreds, 0:48:33.320 --> 0:48:35.840 and people just know because Bobby Mackie's used to like 0:48:35.960 --> 0:48:38.520 really sort of cash in and on that story because 0:48:38.520 --> 0:48:40.840 they never did find her head, and there was rumors 0:48:40.880 --> 0:48:43.279 that there was a satanic cult in the basement of 0:48:43.320 --> 0:48:47.920 Bobby Mackie's and so, and they apparently brought the head 0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:52.360 there as an offering to their dark lord. I know, anyway, 0:48:52.400 --> 0:48:53.760 Bobby Mackie's isn't there anymore. 0:48:54.200 --> 0:48:56.959 But let me ask you that because that's a we'd 0:48:57.840 --> 0:49:00.560 years ago on the Boarding show. We spent the well, 0:49:00.600 --> 0:49:03.279 we had our producers spend the night in there, and 0:49:03.719 --> 0:49:05.839 uh it just so happens that a couple of day 0:49:05.840 --> 0:49:07.880 other guys from the show stayed there and hid in 0:49:07.920 --> 0:49:11.239 the uh in the attic or something, and they were 0:49:11.880 --> 0:49:14.239 they were putting, they were making noise and banging on 0:49:14.320 --> 0:49:17.200 pipes and stuff, and that poor guy had wet himself 0:49:17.280 --> 0:49:18.840 so hard by the time we got there in the 0:49:18.880 --> 0:49:20.520 morning he could barely talk. 0:49:21.080 --> 0:49:24.200 But I'm not kidding you. 0:49:26.239 --> 0:49:29.880 Yeah, and uh well and well you well, you know 0:49:30.040 --> 0:49:34.400 this story Marianda, that wasn't there always like a rose 0:49:34.440 --> 0:49:38.759 scented perfume or something connected with her appearance or I 0:49:39.160 --> 0:49:43.680 forget what it was. But they they sprayed like you know, 0:49:44.480 --> 0:49:47.840 some of the like room deodorizer stuff with the floral 0:49:47.920 --> 0:49:50.520 scent to it. And He's like, I smelled the flowers. 0:49:50.600 --> 0:49:51.680 I smelled the flowers. 0:49:51.719 --> 0:49:52.480 I heard the noise. 0:49:53.400 --> 0:49:53.560 Uh. 0:49:54.080 --> 0:49:56.840 Well, you know that was a funny. 0:49:59.120 --> 0:50:01.080 That you started to say we spent the night there. 0:50:01.120 --> 0:50:04.240 Then you're like, no, after we didn't. 0:50:04.040 --> 0:50:04.719 Go we just so. 0:50:06.880 --> 0:50:11.200 So now you've talked before about having actual physical contacts 0:50:11.280 --> 0:50:11.960 with these things. 0:50:12.520 --> 0:50:14.479 Has anything like that happened here lately? 0:50:16.239 --> 0:50:16.439 Yeah? 0:50:16.600 --> 0:50:19.640 So on our Ultimate Queen City Haunted Tour, which is 0:50:19.680 --> 0:50:21.200 really cool, we go through, like you know, you hear 0:50:21.239 --> 0:50:23.840 the dark history of Washington Park, which you gentlemen know 0:50:23.920 --> 0:50:27.360 about that it used to be three separate cemeteries and 0:50:27.480 --> 0:50:29.359 half the park has never been dug up. So there's 0:50:29.360 --> 0:50:33.040 still heaps of bodies in Washington Park, which is exactly 0:50:33.120 --> 0:50:35.520 why the dog park is paved over because they don't 0:50:35.560 --> 0:50:38.000 want the little puppas digging around like coming up with 0:50:38.040 --> 0:50:38.440 a femur. 0:50:39.080 --> 0:50:40.480 Wow, I didn't notice. 0:50:42.000 --> 0:50:42.040 That. 0:50:44.520 --> 0:50:46.880 Yeah, the children's playground as all. There's heaps of bodies 0:50:46.920 --> 0:50:50.360 under the children's playground as well. So the record was 0:50:50.440 --> 0:50:53.920 destroyed through the fires we've had at City Hall and 0:50:54.040 --> 0:50:57.320 the courthouse, So nobody knew about the bodies until twenty 0:50:57.480 --> 0:50:59.760 eleven when they did the forty eight million dollar renovation 0:51:00.239 --> 0:51:02.439 and dug out the underground parking garage. Then they found 0:51:02.440 --> 0:51:03.000 all the bodies. 0:51:04.680 --> 0:51:07.400 Now, how many how many do you think or how 0:51:07.440 --> 0:51:09.759 many do they say that there are down there? Would 0:51:09.760 --> 0:51:10.200 they guess? 0:51:10.520 --> 0:51:10.560 So? 0:51:11.440 --> 0:51:14.000 Down the north end the part they dug out for 0:51:14.040 --> 0:51:17.560 the underground parking garage, they found seventy three graves because 0:51:17.600 --> 0:51:20.719 at the time, in eighteen sixty, they used to be 0:51:20.840 --> 0:51:23.759 three separate cemeteries. This is hilarious, you guys. In the 0:51:23.840 --> 0:51:26.560 eighteen sixties they decided they wanted to do something nice 0:51:26.760 --> 0:51:29.200 over the rhine because it was three separate cemeteries. They're like, 0:51:29.239 --> 0:51:31.880 you know what, let's change this into a park. So 0:51:32.000 --> 0:51:34.840 they put out a citywide announcement saying, Hey, if you 0:51:34.880 --> 0:51:37.400 have people buried here, can you come get them? Because 0:51:37.400 --> 0:51:38.479 they're trying to build a park. 0:51:39.160 --> 0:51:39.719 I know, right. 0:51:40.520 --> 0:51:43.640 I was like, are a major inconvenience here? 0:51:44.080 --> 0:51:44.279 Yeah? 0:51:44.560 --> 0:51:45.360 What a nuisance? 0:51:48.160 --> 0:51:48.279 You know. 0:51:48.440 --> 0:51:50.960 I was really upset when the metro went up by 0:51:51.120 --> 0:51:53.279 like ten percent. I was like, two dollars twenty to 0:51:53.360 --> 0:51:55.959 ride the metro. Now, I imagine going to be asked 0:51:56.000 --> 0:51:59.000 to pick up like your relatives is probably a bigger ask. 0:51:59.400 --> 0:52:02.799 So I had to say about that perspective. I was like, Okay, 0:52:02.880 --> 0:52:04.279 I can get twenty cents. I don't have to go 0:52:04.400 --> 0:52:07.359 dig up great great uncle George. So they put out 0:52:07.360 --> 0:52:09.319 a city wine announcement saying, yeah, can you come get 0:52:09.360 --> 0:52:11.560 your relative. A few people did, but a lot of 0:52:11.560 --> 0:52:13.640 people were like, no, we're not doing that. So then 0:52:13.680 --> 0:52:16.080 the city, because it was eighteen sixty, they just plucked 0:52:16.080 --> 0:52:18.120 out the headstones, put three feet of dirt on top, 0:52:18.200 --> 0:52:18.720 and cold. 0:52:18.560 --> 0:52:18.960 It a day. 0:52:19.480 --> 0:52:21.560 Because it was eighteen sixty, They're like, who's gonna know? 0:52:21.840 --> 0:52:23.560 Wow, And this is that. 0:52:27.320 --> 0:52:31.040 You don't know until you know. Look. And then twenty 0:52:31.160 --> 0:52:32.920 eleven is when we found that out that all those 0:52:32.920 --> 0:52:35.800 buddies there. So we found seventy three graves in the 0:52:35.880 --> 0:52:38.840 north end. The South end which hasn't been dug up. 0:52:39.360 --> 0:52:42.760 We've used ground penetrating radar. There are so many bodies 0:52:42.800 --> 0:52:45.320 from the South end. So you know those beautiful lawns. 0:52:45.640 --> 0:52:47.399 Somebody on my tour the other day we walked into 0:52:47.480 --> 0:52:49.840 Washington Park. She said, Oh my gosh, I got married 0:52:50.040 --> 0:52:51.960 right on these lawnes and I had to do it. 0:52:52.040 --> 0:52:53.759 I was like, oh, people were dying to go to 0:52:53.840 --> 0:52:59.000 that wedding. Do you guys like that joke? Yeah? Perfect, 0:53:01.360 --> 0:53:01.640 thank you. 0:53:03.600 --> 0:53:07.600 So that's it's so funny, by the way, Yeah, go ahead. 0:53:07.520 --> 0:53:10.200 I'm sorry, No, what's funny by the way. 0:53:10.440 --> 0:53:12.920 Sorry, yeah, no, I. 0:53:13.000 --> 0:53:15.480 Was just saying like we think that, like, oh, and 0:53:15.600 --> 0:53:18.239 you know, back in the day things were, you know, 0:53:18.239 --> 0:53:22.080 a little more pure and refined. No, just just put 0:53:22.239 --> 0:53:25.239 more dirt over these bodies here. No one cares, you know, 0:53:25.640 --> 0:53:27.359 or dig them up, whatever doesn't matter. 0:53:29.120 --> 0:53:32.640 It was the worst back then, and the medical colleges 0:53:32.719 --> 0:53:35.440 at the times eighteen hundred, the only bodies they could 0:53:35.480 --> 0:53:39.280 get to practice on the medical students were from executed prisoners. 0:53:39.360 --> 0:53:41.920 It was taboo to donate your body to science, and 0:53:42.120 --> 0:53:46.160 so Ohio Medical College did an unprecedented thing. They were 0:53:46.200 --> 0:53:49.719 located on Vine Street. They started saying, hey, if you 0:53:49.880 --> 0:53:52.279 give us a body, because obviously they were desperate for bodies. 0:53:52.320 --> 0:53:53.759 They're like, if you give us the body, we will 0:53:53.760 --> 0:53:56.799 pay you one hundred and twenty five dollars, no questions asked. 0:53:58.000 --> 0:54:00.880 So two things we hear incredibly popular and Cincinnati murder 0:54:01.000 --> 0:54:04.000 and grave robbing. The Ohio Medical College became known as 0:54:04.040 --> 0:54:06.880 the Ohio Murder College because they had so many bodies 0:54:06.880 --> 0:54:09.600 that started selling them to different universities like the University 0:54:09.640 --> 0:54:12.279 of Michigan. Uh and then they had to rebrand, so 0:54:12.360 --> 0:54:14.960 now they're the College of Medicine at the University of Cincinnati. 0:54:15.080 --> 0:54:15.959 So go back caps. 0:54:17.400 --> 0:54:20.600 Well, well, if you know this story, I mean tied 0:54:20.640 --> 0:54:24.360 to that though, is you know Bill Cunningham, right of course, 0:54:24.560 --> 0:54:28.480 uh noon to three. One of his ancestors, Old Cunney, 0:54:28.760 --> 0:54:32.000 was a grave robber in Cincinnati. This is true, honest 0:54:32.040 --> 0:54:33.880 to god facts. Ask him about it and he'll tell you. 0:54:34.520 --> 0:54:36.080 We'll probably have to we're going to talk to him 0:54:36.080 --> 0:54:37.600 at five o'clock then we have to ask him to 0:54:37.680 --> 0:54:39.520 go through all this. But yeah, he was. He was 0:54:39.560 --> 0:54:44.719 a grave robber for that very reason. It was profitable, so. 0:54:44.840 --> 0:54:48.880 He was a very rich man. I can't we were 0:54:48.920 --> 0:54:51.040 making a dollar twenty five a day and one hundred 0:54:51.040 --> 0:54:52.319 and twenty five dollars to a body. 0:54:52.520 --> 0:54:53.879 I was going to say, one hundred and twenty five 0:54:53.920 --> 0:54:57.200 dollars a body that went a long way back then, man, huge, 0:54:57.400 --> 0:54:58.080 Yeah he did. 0:54:58.120 --> 0:55:01.720 It's about I think it's about fifty seen hundred dollars today, 0:55:02.400 --> 0:55:04.960 but to go way back. Sorry, you guys asked me 0:55:05.000 --> 0:55:08.040 if i'd had the experiences recently on that tour Queen 0:55:08.080 --> 0:55:10.080 City Haunted. Not only do we go through Washing Park, 0:55:10.320 --> 0:55:13.000 but we go into the Symphony Hotel. Have you guys 0:55:13.040 --> 0:55:15.239 been to the Symphony Hotel right by Music Hall. 0:55:16.239 --> 0:55:17.400 I've seen it, but I have never been. 0:55:17.600 --> 0:55:20.880 I have not. That's because you guys probably give it 0:55:20.920 --> 0:55:22.640 a wide berth. You're like, oh, it feels creepy. You 0:55:22.680 --> 0:55:29.480 should send your producers in there. Yeah the night, Yeah, 0:55:30.719 --> 0:55:32.799 tell him to spend the night in the Mozart room. 0:55:33.200 --> 0:55:36.360 So the Symphony Hotel back in the nineteen forties was 0:55:36.400 --> 0:55:38.960 called the Clyde Hotel, which you could rent a room 0:55:39.040 --> 0:55:41.320 for just a couple of hours. And there was a 0:55:42.000 --> 0:55:44.759 lady of the night. We'll call her Monica. Her name 0:55:44.880 --> 0:55:46.480 is actually Monica, but we'll call her a lady of 0:55:46.520 --> 0:55:48.239 the night. But you know what she kind of did 0:55:48.320 --> 0:55:51.880 for work, And in the Mozart room she was murdered 0:55:52.120 --> 0:55:55.640 by a client who was unsatisfied, and then he rolled 0:55:55.640 --> 0:55:57.480 her in the carpet and stuffed her under the bed. 0:55:58.000 --> 0:56:01.239 And she is very active in that room. The other week, 0:56:01.320 --> 0:56:03.760 I had a couple on the tour. The boyfriend obviously 0:56:03.800 --> 0:56:05.520 didn't want to be there. He'd been like dragged there 0:56:05.960 --> 0:56:08.000 and we left the motes that room and he's like, Miranda, 0:56:08.080 --> 0:56:10.279 I just had something really weird happened. I thought my 0:56:10.360 --> 0:56:12.800 girlfriend put her arm around my waist, but then I 0:56:12.840 --> 0:56:14.239 looked at her and she was like on the other 0:56:14.320 --> 0:56:17.160 side of the room. So Monica still likes to flirt 0:56:17.320 --> 0:56:18.680 with the men. And if you stay the night in 0:56:18.719 --> 0:56:21.319 the room, as your producer will obviously do, if you're 0:56:21.400 --> 0:56:23.760 laying alone in the bed, you'll feel the bed settle 0:56:23.920 --> 0:56:25.840 next to you as if somebody has gotten into the 0:56:25.880 --> 0:56:28.480 bed with you, and the sheets get flipped up and 0:56:28.520 --> 0:56:31.800 people get their feet tickled. So we think it's Monica 0:56:31.920 --> 0:56:33.279 still doing her job. 0:56:34.200 --> 0:56:38.760 Wow, that sounds like my single days.

Okay, so we're gonna have to we have 0:59:39.040 --> 0:59:42.680 to have Willie refresh us on his uh his tech 0:59:42.720 --> 0:59:51.520 glacious history. Yeah, and other news that here. Did you 0:59:51.600 --> 0:59:55.800 know that Japan has bears? Did you know that? I 0:59:55.920 --> 0:59:58.960 did not know. I did not know either, But apparently 0:59:59.080 --> 1:00:01.840 like they have like a lot of bears, all right, Again, 1:00:01.920 --> 1:00:04.480 these are the things that maybe only interest me. Uh, 1:00:05.000 --> 1:00:09.439 there's something no, not at all be So there's only 1:00:10.160 --> 1:00:14.160 was there two hundred ish countries in the world, right 1:00:14.360 --> 1:00:19.280 where only sixty countries on the planet have bears. Japan 1:00:19.800 --> 1:00:24.400 is one of them, all right, has upwards of sixty 1:00:24.640 --> 1:00:30.640 thousand bears estimates, forty four thousand black bears and twelve 1:00:30.760 --> 1:00:33.200 thousand of the brown bears. Those are the ones you 1:00:33.240 --> 1:00:36.760 gotta worry about, the brown bears anyway, I guess. Apparently 1:00:36.840 --> 1:00:40.960 there's like an unprecedented spike in bear attacks in Japan. 1:00:42.440 --> 1:00:45.080 The resulted in a record high annual death toll, why 1:00:45.160 --> 1:00:48.240 injury more than one hundred people this year alone. So 1:00:48.640 --> 1:00:53.720 long story short, the Yeah, the the military right has 1:00:53.880 --> 1:00:56.960 has has been called out to the Ministry of Defense 1:00:57.000 --> 1:00:58.840 of Japan has been called out to go and just 1:01:00.400 --> 1:01:03.040 these bears and kill them because they're causing a big nuisance. 1:01:03.600 --> 1:01:04.000 Who knew. 1:01:04.960 --> 1:01:14.200 Yeah, I'm surprised that down in the Gatlinburg area down 1:01:14.280 --> 1:01:17.640 in the Smokies that you don't hear more about bear 1:01:17.720 --> 1:01:21.959 attacks because people are so freaking stupid, you know, they. 1:01:22.040 --> 1:01:23.760 Right, Yeah, I'm just selfie by the bear. 1:01:23.920 --> 1:01:27.160 And yeah, and guess what I don't like the goons 1:01:27.200 --> 1:01:30.160 that go to Yellowstone and think they can walk up 1:01:30.200 --> 1:01:34.920 and pet a bison. Guess what the are wild animals? 1:01:35.360 --> 1:01:40.440 You idiot? Yeah, you idiot, colossal idiot. But yeah, you 1:01:40.520 --> 1:01:43.160 know it's it's that time of year, hibernation is coming around. 1:01:43.200 --> 1:01:45.840 I guess they get a little little cranky around there 1:01:45.880 --> 1:01:49.400 and a little more active. So yeah, bringing the army guns, 1:01:49.440 --> 1:01:50.760 the whole deal, get rid of them. 1:01:51.120 --> 1:01:53.560 See, it is that time of year when you start thinking. 1:01:54.120 --> 1:01:56.480 When I lived in the old place, we had those 1:01:56.560 --> 1:01:59.360 woods in our backyard. When you have woods all around 1:01:59.400 --> 1:02:03.200 your house, to see how active the squirrels get. Man, 1:02:03.360 --> 1:02:06.760 when they're out there, it's all man. We had a 1:02:06.840 --> 1:02:09.720 little right next to our driveway and around the back 1:02:09.760 --> 1:02:11.400 of our house that came back that's where you entered 1:02:11.440 --> 1:02:13.640 the garage, and there was a little, i don't know, 1:02:14.280 --> 1:02:17.360 i'll say eight by eight little dirt patch there between 1:02:17.440 --> 1:02:21.040 the deck and the driveway, And so we just put 1:02:21.120 --> 1:02:26.360 little shrubs and stuff and flowers in there. And dude, 1:02:26.440 --> 1:02:29.160 in the springtime, you know, and I'd go out there 1:02:29.240 --> 1:02:33.320 and just clean up whatever. And they're every in that 1:02:33.480 --> 1:02:36.560 little eight by eight patch. I guarantee you. They were 1:02:36.840 --> 1:02:41.360 always ten or twelve little mounds. And you dig down 1:02:41.440 --> 1:02:43.680 in there a couple of inches and sure enough there 1:02:43.760 --> 1:02:46.440 was a walnut or an acorn or some such that 1:02:46.560 --> 1:02:48.640 they were they were burying for later on. 1:02:50.240 --> 1:02:53.440 Yeah. No, at my house, man, Like, if you go 1:02:53.560 --> 1:02:56.840 down my driveway, it's like, I mean, and this is 1:02:57.080 --> 1:02:59.200 you know, before you get to the moat and the 1:02:59.280 --> 1:03:01.440 dragon and all that, but if you get after you 1:03:01.480 --> 1:03:04.600 get past that, it's like the squirrels play Russian roulette. 1:03:04.680 --> 1:03:08.320 Like they dart across the driveway. I mean like four 1:03:08.360 --> 1:03:10.280 and five of them, I mean from the beginning to 1:03:10.360 --> 1:03:13.800 the end, and it's you know, sometimes you know, you 1:03:14.240 --> 1:03:16.120 hit one, it's the worst thing ever. But yeah, those 1:03:16.160 --> 1:03:18.720 things are running all over the place. Well, that was 1:03:18.760 --> 1:03:21.520 a lot of you know, walnuts and stuff with a 1:03:21.600 --> 1:03:23.440 lot of water trees. So there's all a million of 1:03:23.480 --> 1:03:23.840 them round. 1:03:24.000 --> 1:03:28.680 I was going to say, it is amazing how many 1:03:28.760 --> 1:03:31.120 times you're driving along and a squirrel darts out in 1:03:31.160 --> 1:03:34.320 front of you and you could swear there is absolutely 1:03:34.440 --> 1:03:38.000 no way in hell you miss that thing, no way, right, 1:03:38.520 --> 1:03:42.680 And sure then you look into your rear view he's gone. 1:03:42.680 --> 1:03:45.480 Yeah boom, he's gone yeah. Yeah. I don't know how 1:03:45.520 --> 1:03:48.480 they do it, but it's like, yeah, they run toward 1:03:48.560 --> 1:03:52.560 the car, but then somehow, Yeah, they're just super nimble 1:03:52.600 --> 1:03:55.560 obviously and figure out a way to get out of it. 1:03:56.320 --> 1:03:58.200 But a bear not as much. Have you hit a 1:03:58.200 --> 1:04:00.000 bear with your car, it's going to do a little damage. 1:04:00.320 --> 1:04:03.760 Well, we had a story yesterday where the this was 1:04:03.800 --> 1:04:07.400 the Zimbabwe Jason and I were talking about it and 1:04:07.960 --> 1:04:10.880 some people driving down the highway you know, you're in Africa. 1:04:11.400 --> 1:04:16.880 Guess what they ran into an elephant. They hits this 1:04:17.080 --> 1:04:21.040 elephant in the butt. And you know, a car hits 1:04:21.080 --> 1:04:23.960 an elephant. All it did was pissed the elephant off, 1:04:24.440 --> 1:04:26.600 and the elephant turns around and attacks the car and 1:04:26.720 --> 1:04:27.240 killed a guy. 1:04:28.920 --> 1:04:32.440 Wow. Now, if you have you seen a bear like 1:04:32.520 --> 1:04:35.400 in the wild, I have not. I have not, you know, 1:04:35.480 --> 1:04:37.960 and I got you know, I'm an outdoorsy guy who 1:04:38.120 --> 1:04:40.360 you know, gone on backpacking trips, the whole deal. I've 1:04:40.440 --> 1:04:43.400 never seen a bear not at the zoo, and I've 1:04:43.440 --> 1:04:43.840 seen them. 1:04:43.960 --> 1:04:45.800 I saw a couple of them done in Tennessee, and 1:04:45.880 --> 1:04:50.680 I saw a couple in California. As a matter of fact, 1:04:50.800 --> 1:04:55.480 we were hiking up there in the mountains around Tahoe and. 1:04:57.160 --> 1:04:58.800 We were on a trail. 1:05:00.000 --> 1:05:04.560 But I heard, I could hear something behind us, and 1:05:04.680 --> 1:05:08.480 it's just me in deb and and I kind of 1:05:08.520 --> 1:05:10.560 look back, and I don't know if I don't think, 1:05:10.600 --> 1:05:13.440 I don't know he was stalking us or not. But 1:05:13.560 --> 1:05:16.800 this bear was kind of keeping his distance, but he 1:05:16.960 --> 1:05:21.200 was walking. He was pacing us, but he was about yeah, 1:05:21.320 --> 1:05:24.960 twenty five thirty thirty yards off to one side and 1:05:25.080 --> 1:05:28.120 about that far behind us. But I could see him 1:05:28.200 --> 1:05:30.240 through the trees and he was walking at our pace. 1:05:30.320 --> 1:05:33.840 And I'm like, we should probably pick up our pace. 1:05:34.560 --> 1:05:38.160 And uh, She's like why. I was like, just keep moving. 1:05:39.280 --> 1:05:41.120 He just keep moving. Yeah, I don't want to get 1:05:41.280 --> 1:05:43.680 get him panicked, you know, just keep going. 1:05:43.800 --> 1:05:46.240 Hopefully some mountain bike guys are going to come along 1:05:46.360 --> 1:05:48.000 so he has something else to follow. 1:05:49.320 --> 1:05:52.800 Yeah. I've told the story of form and listen to podcasts, 1:05:52.840 --> 1:05:56.000 and I guess one like just a huge outdoor guy 1:05:56.600 --> 1:05:58.840 always said if you see a brown bear and it's 1:06:00.400 --> 1:06:03.120 yards from you and it's running at you. You're dead, 1:06:03.240 --> 1:06:05.800 it's over. You know, that's just how fast those things. 1:06:05.880 --> 1:06:07.200 I saw a video the other day of a bear 1:06:07.320 --> 1:06:10.560 like climbing up like a mountain, the things like, you know, 1:06:10.640 --> 1:06:13.120 this thing's you know, five hundred plus pounds just shooting 1:06:13.200 --> 1:06:15.200 up this thing like a like a gazelle. 1:06:15.640 --> 1:06:20.440 Well that's the thing though, we as humans, basically our 1:06:20.520 --> 1:06:23.320 own people always say play dead. That kind of is 1:06:23.440 --> 1:06:26.800 your only option. You can't fight the thing, and if 1:06:26.840 --> 1:06:28.960 you do try to climb a tree right quick, they 1:06:29.000 --> 1:06:30.920 can climb it three times faster than you can. 1:06:32.360 --> 1:06:35.680 Yeah. I just don't know if in that moment I 1:06:35.720 --> 1:06:38.400 could play dead. It's how you're giving up. But you 1:06:38.480 --> 1:06:44.040 know it's likely the best scenario, but I don't know. Well, 1:06:44.400 --> 1:06:46.440 hopefully I'll never have some worry about that. 1:06:46.560 --> 1:06:49.760 I'd rather try to play dead than to keep try 1:06:49.840 --> 1:06:51.960 to run away from it even though I know I can't, 1:06:52.800 --> 1:06:54.439 and just and just make it mad. 1:06:57.080 --> 1:06:59.920 Yeah, it's like stay there. I mean, somebody bats your 1:07:00.000 --> 1:07:02.240 a little bit and I'll leave. But you're pissing me off. 1:07:02.320 --> 1:07:06.040 Now, See that's the you've never seen blazing saddles. But 1:07:06.160 --> 1:07:10.320 that's one of the best lines in there. The Mango guy. 1:07:10.360 --> 1:07:12.600 He's the big beast guy that comes into town to 1:07:12.640 --> 1:07:16.480 get the sheriff, and the sheriff's talking to his buddy, 1:07:16.560 --> 1:07:20.040 the gunfighter, and he goes, well, I guess I just 1:07:20.480 --> 1:07:23.080 shoot him, and then the other guy goes, we don't 1:07:23.120 --> 1:07:31.080 want to shoot him, you just make him mad. In 1:07:31.200 --> 1:07:37.000 other news Rock, this happened in Tejas. These cops were 1:07:37.040 --> 1:07:40.120 out on a mounted patrol, just kind of doing their 1:07:40.400 --> 1:07:43.680 routine thing. They stopped a guy who was walking in 1:07:43.880 --> 1:07:47.720 the street rather than on the sidewalk. The officers thought 1:07:47.800 --> 1:07:51.640 the forty two year old fella, Joseph Ramirez, was acting 1:07:51.720 --> 1:07:56.280 suspiciously and when they asked to check his pockets, he 1:07:56.400 --> 1:08:02.600 said no. Then one of the cops said, well, this horse, 1:08:02.640 --> 1:08:05.960 you know, is a narcotic smelling horse, And with that, 1:08:06.280 --> 1:08:11.960 the guy took off running. Yeah, they're wrong kind so 1:08:12.240 --> 1:08:15.440 uh and the cops said, well, he took it seriously and. 1:08:15.440 --> 1:08:16.040 The race was on. 1:08:17.240 --> 1:08:19.479 They didn't take it, didn't take long to catch him, 1:08:19.479 --> 1:08:21.040 and blah blah blah, they charged him. 1:08:21.680 --> 1:08:22.880 And his button. 1:08:22.960 --> 1:08:25.160 The other cops said, chasing bad guys is part of 1:08:25.200 --> 1:08:27.400 the fun in it for us. So when you get 1:08:27.439 --> 1:08:29.120 to chase down a bad guy and a horse and 1:08:29.200 --> 1:08:32.760 not even get tired, it's a good day. So that 1:08:32.800 --> 1:08:36.360 would be fun if you you know, well, don't they 1:08:36.439 --> 1:08:38.680 let him last on them? You know, like in the 1:08:38.800 --> 1:08:42.840 rodeo or something. You know what I'm saying, lasso a 1:08:42.920 --> 1:08:43.960 bear the horse. 1:08:44.200 --> 1:08:46.000 Oh no, a criminal? 1:08:47.240 --> 1:08:49.240 Oh okay, yeah, just like in the movies. You know, 1:08:49.360 --> 1:08:53.040 you're running behind them and get them by the by 1:08:53.080 --> 1:08:54.240 the feet, string them up. 1:08:55.520 --> 1:08:58.120 Everybody's like dreamed of being able to do that. I've 1:08:58.200 --> 1:09:01.160 never tried it, but would like to throw the old 1:09:01.240 --> 1:09:05.240 lass around some something.

We know 1:09:22.000 --> 1:09:24.160 we're gonna use our lass set through on our wives 1:09:24.200 --> 1:09:26.360 and piss them off. A s great plan. 1:09:28.720 --> 1:09:31.639 It's fun though.

Dirk quick, 1:11:48.880 --> 1:11:51.560 we're just talking about bears and whether or not you 1:11:51.680 --> 1:11:55.160 can fight a bear. Sir, you have actually wrestled a bear? 1:11:55.280 --> 1:11:55.799 Is that correct? 1:11:57.120 --> 1:12:01.719 Ellas I was a naive I than twenty five year old. 1:12:02.479 --> 1:12:05.720 It had been you know, forty years ago up in 1:12:05.800 --> 1:12:08.400 Indianapolis as the Boat and Travel show, and you probably 1:12:08.479 --> 1:12:11.400 can't even do it nowadays. And you kind of stirred 1:12:11.479 --> 1:12:15.519 a repressed memory on me because I tried to forget 1:12:15.560 --> 1:12:17.439 about how this bear had its way with me. 1:12:17.560 --> 1:12:20.120 But you know, there's a group of us up there. 1:12:21.800 --> 1:12:23.960 Running the boost for the show and you're up here 1:12:24.000 --> 1:12:26.280 for ten days, and a couple of them said, well, 1:12:26.760 --> 1:12:29.479 you know, who would wrestle that bear? And this big 1:12:29.560 --> 1:12:32.560 old qulkin bear, he's got his muzzle on, so I 1:12:32.600 --> 1:12:35.439 guess he doesn't bite you. I don't remember what they 1:12:35.479 --> 1:12:38.559 did about the claws, but I. 1:12:38.600 --> 1:12:40.240 Said, well, I had a beer too. 1:12:40.360 --> 1:12:43.640 I said, I'll wrestle that bear and probably cost me 1:12:43.720 --> 1:12:47.080 five bucks to boot. But I get out there and 1:12:47.160 --> 1:12:50.040 the guy's like, okay, you're ready to go. And I'm 1:12:50.160 --> 1:12:53.320 six foot, you know, two hundred pounds played football, and 1:12:53.400 --> 1:12:55.040 I think, I, you know, I'm going to hold my 1:12:55.120 --> 1:12:55.920 own against this beer. 1:12:55.960 --> 1:12:56.760 I got to show him. 1:12:57.840 --> 1:13:01.080 That bear came up, but it shook paus on my 1:13:01.280 --> 1:13:07.000 shoulders and just like it flicked me onto the ground, 1:13:07.320 --> 1:13:09.680 rolled me over, got on my back. You've heard of 1:13:09.760 --> 1:13:12.960 a bear hug before. Well he mounted me, and so 1:13:13.120 --> 1:13:16.320 now I'm not I'm not only I'm on the ground 1:13:16.400 --> 1:13:19.599 with this bear with a muzzle right up against my face, 1:13:19.720 --> 1:13:23.840 with drool rolling down onto me, the smell of a 1:13:23.920 --> 1:13:29.040 bear that probably hasn't showered in a lifetime, and I'm 1:13:29.120 --> 1:13:32.439 thinking I got to get out of this situation. Well, 1:13:33.040 --> 1:13:37.160 he pretty quickly got me down, flipped over, and and 1:13:38.360 --> 1:13:41.719 I tapped out. You know, I don't really recall exactly 1:13:41.840 --> 1:13:45.240 how the guy pulled him off, you know, like, come on, Bobo, 1:13:45.479 --> 1:13:47.240 you know you've had your way with this guy, and 1:13:48.000 --> 1:13:51.280 I mean ever since then, you know, I think about 1:13:51.360 --> 1:13:53.880 that and how just the pure strength of that bear 1:13:53.960 --> 1:13:58.560 and a man just wouldn't stand a chance, you know, 1:13:58.760 --> 1:14:02.679 particularly in the wild without a muzzle, without unsharpened claws 1:14:02.800 --> 1:14:06.200 or whatever that this bear had. And and you know, 1:14:06.280 --> 1:14:08.719 it's been forty years and he hasn't written me, hasn't 1:14:08.800 --> 1:14:10.120 called me that that bear. 1:14:14.479 --> 1:14:16.639 That's a bold move, because I mean it's an animal. 1:14:16.720 --> 1:14:19.160 You don't know what that thing's gonna do or how 1:14:19.840 --> 1:14:20.560 strong it is. 1:14:20.720 --> 1:14:26.320 And you just sing, you know, whatever the ring was 1:14:26.400 --> 1:14:28.200 all about, I don't know, just to keep you from 1:14:28.240 --> 1:14:36.880 immediately running away. I got a couple of beers out 1:14:36.920 --> 1:14:39.160 of it afterwards, and I took a good shower. 1:14:39.960 --> 1:14:44.040 I think the bear did too, thankfully. Well, you've done 1:14:44.120 --> 1:14:46.960 something I've I've not done. That's quite an experience. I 1:14:47.040 --> 1:14:48.080 commend you. Thanks, buddy. 1:14:48.680 --> 1:14:51.200 You probably can't do it nowadays that Peter would stop 1:14:51.240 --> 1:14:55.120 being a hard peat probably, thanks buddy. 1:14:55.720 --> 1:14:59.840 And yeah, I remember going, you know, at the carnivals 1:14:59.880 --> 1:15:03.880 and stuff like that. They had bear bear wrestling and 1:15:04.000 --> 1:15:07.000 they had like the bear really they had bare knuckle fights. 1:15:09.080 --> 1:15:13.400 Stricker's Grove they used to have all bare knuckle fights and. 1:15:14.080 --> 1:15:16.200 They were sugar I've been to Sugars Grove a hundred times. 1:15:16.360 --> 1:15:18.840 I don't know they had bear wrestling bear fights. 1:15:18.840 --> 1:15:21.000 I don't know if they had bear wrestling. Maybe it 1:15:21.160 --> 1:15:23.040 was part of that. But yeah, for years they used 1:15:23.040 --> 1:15:28.360 to have you know, uh, tough man competitions. So maybe 1:15:28.400 --> 1:15:30.400 there might have been a bear brundle long just to 1:15:30.640 --> 1:15:34.000 see how tough you are. He has a tough guy. 1:15:35.160 --> 1:15:37.280 You can fight Leonard right there, or you can fight 1:15:37.560 --> 1:15:42.080 uh Smoky the bear. Oh boy, Bobo over there. He's hungry.

As I mentioned, 1:16:28.920 --> 1:16:32.200 they were strongly different views today and the takeaway from 1:16:32.280 --> 1:16:34.639 that is that we haven't made a decision about December. 1:16:34.760 --> 1:16:38.280 Ben Chairman Jerome Paul.

A former 1:19:39.120 --> 1:19:42.840 sheriff's deputy convicted by a jury in Peoria, Illinois's second 1:19:42.920 --> 1:19:46.200 degree murder and the shooting death of Sonia Massi she 1:19:46.320 --> 1:19:48.519 had called nine to one one asking for help, was 1:19:48.560 --> 1:19:52.240 shot and killed. Sean Grayson could be sentenced to twenty 1:19:52.320 --> 1:19:56.080 years in prison or simply to probation. Grayson was originally 1:19:56.200 --> 1:19:58.720 charged first degree murder, but the jury was given the 1:19:58.800 --> 1:20:01.799 option to consider second degree murder instead. 1:20:01.960 --> 1:20:04.800 Prosecutor is getting their conviction here, but not getting the 1:20:04.840 --> 1:20:07.599 first degree charge that many family members of Sonya Massey 1:20:07.880 --> 1:20:09.360 were certainly hoping to hear. 1:20:09.760 --> 1:20:11.559 We are going to hear from both the. 1:20:11.560 --> 1:20:15.759 Prosecutors and representatives of Massey's family at a press conference 1:20:15.800 --> 1:20:17.800 here shortly. No doubt they're going to be at least 1:20:17.800 --> 1:20:20.519 members of the family disappointed to some degree that that 1:20:20.640 --> 1:20:24.320 first murder degree first degree murder charge was not to 1:20:24.400 --> 1:20:24.719 be had. 1:20:24.800 --> 1:20:28.519 And ABC's Matt rivers that shooting happened in the summer 1:20:28.600 --> 1:20:31.519 of last year after Massey had called for help over 1:20:31.640 --> 1:20:35.439 a potential intruder in her home. The defense says Grayson 1:20:35.640 --> 1:20:38.519 was acting in self defense because he believed Massey was 1:20:38.560 --> 1:20:41.000 going to throw a pot of boiling water at him. 1:20:41.600 --> 1:20:44.519 Closing Bell Wall Street, the Dow dropped seventy four to 1:20:44.640 --> 1:20:47.439 forty seven thousand and six thirty two.

Let's 1:22:11.280 --> 1:22:13.960 if he hasn't, he will tell us he has. He 1:22:14.120 --> 1:22:17.160 is our good friend, Willie Cunningham. It is Wednesdays with 1:22:17.240 --> 1:22:19.040 Willy being brought to you by the fine folks at 1:22:19.400 --> 1:22:22.680 Joseph Automotive. Willie, before we get to the top of 1:22:22.720 --> 1:22:25.160 get hand, have you ever wrestled an animal of any nature? 1:22:27.680 --> 1:22:31.479 It was nineteen eighty six. There was a ring put 1:22:31.560 --> 1:22:36.479 together at then known as Latonia Racecourse and the bear 1:22:36.720 --> 1:22:41.080 was named Victor the Wrestling Bear. Andy Furman was the 1:22:41.160 --> 1:22:44.240 pr director. He wanted to get some radio personalities and 1:22:44.320 --> 1:22:48.360 those in TV had more sense, but Victor. A ring 1:22:48.520 --> 1:22:53.200 was set up at the racecourse and now it's a 1:22:53.280 --> 1:22:57.280 gamely casino, I believe, and turf way. It was known 1:22:57.320 --> 1:23:01.400 as Latonia and I was recruited by Latonia and Mike 1:23:01.479 --> 1:23:06.959 Pattaglia to wrestle Victor. And there were two personalities involved. 1:23:07.520 --> 1:23:10.519 One was Gary Burbank and the other was yours truly. 1:23:11.360 --> 1:23:13.360 And the ring was set up with I think there 1:23:13.439 --> 1:23:16.000 was a thousand or so people. There were nurses, and 1:23:16.160 --> 1:23:18.559 much like a high school football game, there was an 1:23:18.600 --> 1:23:21.840 ambulance available. And so when we get there, we were 1:23:21.920 --> 1:23:23.320 cheered up and screamed up. 1:23:23.320 --> 1:23:24.360 And I'm talking to Gary. 1:23:24.439 --> 1:23:26.920 I said, look, let's flip a coin to see who 1:23:26.960 --> 1:23:30.120 goes first. At that point, I was quite a droit 1:23:30.720 --> 1:23:32.519 at flipping a coin in such a way that I 1:23:32.600 --> 1:23:34.800 knew which way it was going to turn out. So 1:23:34.920 --> 1:23:37.679 I suggested that Gary, why didn't you call heads or tails? 1:23:38.280 --> 1:23:40.360 And when he set heads, I'd flipped the coin in 1:23:40.400 --> 1:23:42.720 a certain way and flipped it sly of hand that 1:23:42.800 --> 1:23:46.280 it was tails. I mean, Gary, you're going first. So 1:23:46.439 --> 1:23:48.960 Gary Burbank jumps in the ring with Victor. The crowds 1:23:48.960 --> 1:23:51.840 are going nuts, and Victor had a muzzle on it, 1:23:51.960 --> 1:23:54.439 but he had a large hole right at the front 1:23:54.479 --> 1:23:56.600 of his teeth, which I wasn't sure about why the 1:23:56.720 --> 1:24:00.240 hole was there until I discovered later the reason. So 1:24:00.960 --> 1:24:05.640 at this point, Gary Burbank latches into Victor much like 1:24:05.680 --> 1:24:08.080 a pro wrestler with that hole, to begin to match. 1:24:08.560 --> 1:24:11.560 Victor picked him up, twirled Gary around like it was 1:24:11.600 --> 1:24:14.840 a frisbee, and dropped him on the mat. At this point, 1:24:14.960 --> 1:24:18.559 Gary is screaming and hollering help, help, and I yelled 1:24:18.600 --> 1:24:20.759 at him as the crowd and joined me to follow. 1:24:21.360 --> 1:24:24.160 I said, Gary, you're on your own. At this point, 1:24:24.280 --> 1:24:27.200 Victor got on top of Gary, put his paws on 1:24:27.320 --> 1:24:30.160 either side of his head, and the hole in the 1:24:30.280 --> 1:24:36.120 muzzle hit a fourteen inch long yellow encrusted tongue. So 1:24:36.280 --> 1:24:39.960 the tongue of Victor comes out and starts licking Gary 1:24:40.360 --> 1:24:42.360 from the bottom of his atom's apple to the top 1:24:42.439 --> 1:24:46.360 of his head. At this point, Gary's losing his breath 1:24:46.400 --> 1:24:50.280 and he's saying help help. The crowd's laughing. I'm yelling, 1:24:50.320 --> 1:24:53.160 you're on your own. Doc Wolf is off to the right. 1:24:53.400 --> 1:24:56.599 He was the so called manager. He's laughing, I'm looking 1:24:56.640 --> 1:24:59.439 at Gary's eyes, and Gary's eyes are not having a 1:24:59.479 --> 1:25:03.479 good time. So the tongue started licking Gary's face, leaving 1:25:03.600 --> 1:25:06.960 the bear crud up his nostrils, in his eyes and 1:25:07.040 --> 1:25:10.080 in his mouth as he's yelling help help. At this 1:25:10.280 --> 1:25:11.960 point it's my turn to get in the get of 1:25:11.960 --> 1:25:15.000 the ring. Gary is pulled out by Doc Wolf by 1:25:15.040 --> 1:25:18.040 the ankles off to the side. The crowd's going nuts. 1:25:18.800 --> 1:25:22.120 So I say, Penny, is there? A nurse is there? 1:25:22.560 --> 1:25:25.439 Her name was Sandy Joseph Bless her soul, and she 1:25:25.640 --> 1:25:28.920 was in her nurse's outfit. She looked pretty good, but nonetheless, 1:25:28.960 --> 1:25:31.439 I jumped into the ring under the urging of the crowd. 1:25:32.520 --> 1:25:36.240 At this point, Victor anticipates I'm gonna hook up with him. 1:25:36.640 --> 1:25:40.519 Mono a mono, but not Willy. I start running around 1:25:40.600 --> 1:25:44.479 the ring and the and the trainer's yelling, don't do that. 1:25:44.640 --> 1:25:47.280 You're gonna you're gonna piss them off. Don't do it, Victor, 1:25:47.360 --> 1:25:50.280 don't do it. And I'm running faster, and Victor's coming 1:25:50.320 --> 1:25:54.320 after me. Just as he lunges at me, I jump 1:25:54.400 --> 1:25:57.240 at the top rope. He hits behind me on the 1:25:57.320 --> 1:26:00.439 top rope, the whole ring collapses into the front three 1:26:00.600 --> 1:26:03.680 rows of the crowd. Victor is now running loose in 1:26:03.760 --> 1:26:08.200 the crowd, a turnfoy latonia. He's running around and people 1:26:08.240 --> 1:26:10.360 are jumping on top of Victor to trying to calm 1:26:10.439 --> 1:26:15.000 him down. At this point, complete chaos, chaos and zoos. 1:26:15.400 --> 1:26:17.080 It takes about a half an hour to put the 1:26:17.200 --> 1:26:20.880 ring back together. So at this point you had to 1:26:20.960 --> 1:26:25.080 pay like one hundred dollars the wrestle Victor and the 1:26:25.160 --> 1:26:28.799 winner got ten thousand dollars. If you actually could pin Victor. 1:26:29.720 --> 1:26:33.880 Try penning a five hundred pound bear. Good luck. They 1:26:33.960 --> 1:26:37.280 collected one or two thousand dollars. I left the ring 1:26:37.640 --> 1:26:39.840 and I'm done wrestling animals. I'm done. 1:26:42.439 --> 1:26:44.960 Now that's quite a story. And nice story. And here 1:26:45.040 --> 1:26:46.640 I am thinking he didn't have a story for this. 1:26:46.880 --> 1:26:48.479 Of course he's got a story for Corse. 1:26:48.520 --> 1:26:48.840 He does. 1:26:48.920 --> 1:26:52.240 Of course he does, correct, But don't do a Victor 1:26:53.040 --> 1:26:56.040 in the eighties, seventies and eighties he was a legendary 1:26:56.120 --> 1:26:59.600 bear Victor. But don't let him lick you. 1:27:00.880 --> 1:27:03.679 And it's a bear. He don't stand a chance bear. 1:27:04.960 --> 1:27:07.960 That's the easiest hundred bucks you could ever accumulate. 1:27:10.439 --> 1:27:14.360 Well, yeah, there were two guys that wrestled Victor and 1:27:14.640 --> 1:27:17.240 he tended two guys. These guys weighed two hundred and 1:27:17.240 --> 1:27:19.439 fifty pounds each and they thought they were going to 1:27:19.479 --> 1:27:21.519 handle Victor. Each got on a leg or an arm. 1:27:21.880 --> 1:27:24.840 He treated them like rag dolls. He threw them off 1:27:24.920 --> 1:27:26.840 and got on top of them, and at one point 1:27:26.880 --> 1:27:27.680 he lifted a leg and. 1:27:27.760 --> 1:27:28.880 Piss on one of the guys. 1:27:29.200 --> 1:27:31.320 That was part of the act too. I figured the 1:27:31.520 --> 1:27:32.839 Victor had to relieve himself. 1:27:34.720 --> 1:27:36.240 All right, Well, there was something else we wanted to 1:27:36.320 --> 1:27:36.959 talk about. 1:27:36.720 --> 1:27:37.479 Willie Wow. 1:27:37.560 --> 1:27:41.479 Yeah, so the materfl of bear is what I'm saying. 1:27:42.400 --> 1:27:46.280 Don't wrestle a bear another thing you shouldn't do. So 1:27:46.439 --> 1:27:49.680 we had Miranda McGee on earlier. She is head of 1:27:50.280 --> 1:27:53.800 American Legacy Tours. They do the ghost tours here in town. 1:27:54.680 --> 1:27:57.840 And she got a talking about Washington Square and then 1:27:58.000 --> 1:28:00.599 you know there's you know, they about fifty years ago 1:28:00.720 --> 1:28:02.400 they found out there was a dug up a bunch 1:28:02.439 --> 1:28:04.519 of bodies while they were renovating the park, and there's 1:28:04.560 --> 1:28:07.440 still a bunch of bodies there. And led the conversation 1:28:07.640 --> 1:28:10.839 about how back in the day, like a day's wage 1:28:11.479 --> 1:28:14.640 was a dollar twenty five but if you could you know, 1:28:15.120 --> 1:28:17.920 you know, have a you know, find a body and 1:28:18.520 --> 1:28:21.439 give it to science, that was worth one hundred and 1:28:21.479 --> 1:28:24.400 twenty five bucks. And we said, well, look, I mean 1:28:24.479 --> 1:28:29.559 our our afternoon, our noon three hosts. Here is maybe 1:28:29.640 --> 1:28:34.760 one of the most notorious grave robber family members this 1:28:34.880 --> 1:28:37.280 side of Cincinnati. Here, that is you and old Cunny. 1:28:37.400 --> 1:28:39.720 So we wanted you to tell the story about your 1:28:40.080 --> 1:28:42.040 grave robbing ancestors.

Ningham provided corpses to area 1:29:02.360 --> 1:29:06.320 physicians and medical colleges from eighteen fifty five to eighteen 1:29:06.479 --> 1:29:11.120 seventy one at the Washington Park and the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio. 1:29:11.640 --> 1:29:13.160 At the time it wasn't the suburbs. 1:29:13.400 --> 1:29:15.600 At the time it was, but not now because on 1:29:15.760 --> 1:29:19.400 to say, popularly known as Old Cunny. The other names 1:29:19.439 --> 1:29:23.639 attributed to Willie Cunningham was Old Man Dead and the Ghoul, 1:29:24.400 --> 1:29:28.080 the ghouls, thels got it long. He was born in 1:29:28.160 --> 1:29:32.000 Ireland in eighteen oh seven, a corner estimated by the 1:29:32.080 --> 1:29:35.800 time of his death he had re inturned well over 1:29:35.960 --> 1:29:39.880 several hundred bodies in Washington Park. He possibly lived in 1:29:39.880 --> 1:29:42.360 the state of Virginia before he moved to Cincinnati, where 1:29:42.400 --> 1:29:46.120 he flourished in life and death. He was a mortician 1:29:46.600 --> 1:29:50.200 who would pay the pay there in turn the dead 1:29:50.240 --> 1:29:52.679 person in the Washington Park, and they had this ingenious 1:29:52.720 --> 1:29:56.519 system where he had tubes down to the shoulders of 1:29:56.640 --> 1:29:59.240 the casket. He put them in the ground, awaited three days, 1:29:59.560 --> 1:30:01.880 and then back at night and pulled them and put 1:30:01.920 --> 1:30:03.960 the hooks in the ground through the tubes under the 1:30:04.000 --> 1:30:07.599 shoulders and pulled the people pulled the corpses up, often 1:30:07.720 --> 1:30:10.519 leading an arm or leg inside the casket, but he 1:30:10.680 --> 1:30:13.479 pulled up the casket and pulled up the dead body 1:30:13.760 --> 1:30:16.080 and took it to the Medical College of Ohio for 1:30:16.320 --> 1:30:19.640 hundreds of dollars per body. Now, his personal life was 1:30:19.680 --> 1:30:23.320 somewhat different. He married my mother's great great grandmother. My 1:30:23.439 --> 1:30:26.479 mother's name was Mary, and he married Mary Cunningham, who 1:30:26.479 --> 1:30:29.880 assisted him his dealing the bodies. He was arrested several 1:30:29.960 --> 1:30:32.800 times that would bribe the police with liquor and money 1:30:33.000 --> 1:30:39.799 to let him go. That's my family's history at Washington Park, Wow, 1:30:40.560 --> 1:30:44.640 and well, my rooms are deep in the ground of Cincinnati. 1:30:45.240 --> 1:30:47.599 And then after a while the family moved to Arline 1:30:47.680 --> 1:30:49.800 or an elsewhere because they were chased out of town. 1:30:50.160 --> 1:30:52.120 They wanted to get into Kentucky where they had more 1:30:52.200 --> 1:30:54.920 lax laws when it came to disinturing bodies. 1:30:56.400 --> 1:30:58.960 Now, did he survive all of this? I mean without 1:30:59.040 --> 1:31:00.880 going to say, without going in the jail or being 1:31:01.000 --> 1:31:02.720 hung or whatever. 1:31:05.240 --> 1:31:08.880 Bill Cunningham. Bill Cunningham was considered the most infamous bodies 1:31:09.000 --> 1:31:13.519 natural Ohio and he finally died in eighteen seventy one 1:31:14.560 --> 1:31:17.719 of alcohol abuse. He was a drunkard. He had a buggy. 1:31:17.760 --> 1:31:20.160 At night he would roll around between the river between 1:31:20.200 --> 1:31:22.320 the flats and up to Washington Park with a dead 1:31:22.360 --> 1:31:24.880 body next to him, and he had a sense of humor. 1:31:24.880 --> 1:31:27.240 He'd hit the dead body and say he says something smart, 1:31:27.439 --> 1:31:30.240 say something stupid. As he passed people, and people would 1:31:30.360 --> 1:31:32.240 laugh at him until they found out that he was 1:31:32.280 --> 1:31:34.719 feeling these are lives, these are dead bodies. 1:31:35.160 --> 1:31:35.439 So the. 1:31:37.720 --> 1:31:40.679 Case and so the police. At some point he said, 1:31:40.680 --> 1:31:43.360 we got to arrest this guy. So they arrested him, 1:31:43.640 --> 1:31:45.639 convicted him, but then he broke out of the Hamley 1:31:45.680 --> 1:31:50.439 County jail and went to Northern Kentucky, where he applied 1:31:50.479 --> 1:31:53.519 his trade in Latonia and Ellesmere for years and lived 1:31:53.560 --> 1:31:57.479 on Shaw Street, and my mother, when I was a kid, 1:31:57.520 --> 1:31:59.880 would take me along the route of William Cunningham built 1:32:00.120 --> 1:32:03.920 again from Washington Park over to northern Kentucky. He finally died, 1:32:04.080 --> 1:32:07.080 and then his wife and his children continued the business. 1:32:07.160 --> 1:32:09.360 But they didn't have the slight of hand of old 1:32:09.920 --> 1:32:13.800 Old County. So mom Mary spent some time in jail 1:32:14.000 --> 1:32:15.960 and the boys took up other occupations. 1:32:17.760 --> 1:32:20.080 I didn't have the magic touch that Old Cunny had. 1:32:20.200 --> 1:32:23.280 Your ancestor your great great great grandfather. 1:32:24.680 --> 1:32:28.960 Yes, it was a look at Wikipedia page, looking up 1:32:29.000 --> 1:32:32.559 William Cunningham. He left the legacy of body snatching, which 1:32:32.640 --> 1:32:34.639 is unmatched in Cincinnati's history. 1:32:37.040 --> 1:32:39.040 I don't know what wow. 1:32:39.200 --> 1:32:42.840 And that's And by the way, after the nineteen eighteen 1:32:42.960 --> 1:32:47.960 nineteen nineteen flu outbreak which killed thousands, they shut down 1:32:48.120 --> 1:32:51.559 Washington Park and that's where Spring Grove Cemetery was created. 1:32:52.000 --> 1:32:54.240 So then one way into the country to Spring Grove, 1:32:54.360 --> 1:32:57.720 because Washington Park had too they were buying bodies on 1:32:58.240 --> 1:33:01.400 bearing on top of bodies like act like boloney, and 1:33:01.479 --> 1:33:04.000 so they wanted to do their best to get all 1:33:04.040 --> 1:33:07.760 the bodies out. But my ancestors did their best too. 1:33:08.160 --> 1:33:13.040 But Washington Park became Spring Grove Cemetery where Pale Crossley 1:33:13.120 --> 1:33:13.800 is buried today. 1:33:14.439 --> 1:33:17.719 Well you know William talking to Miranda, she was talking. 1:33:17.800 --> 1:33:19.720 And that's something that Rocky and I I had no 1:33:19.920 --> 1:33:23.559 idea about this, is that there's still tons of bodies 1:33:23.600 --> 1:33:24.920 buried there in Washington. 1:33:26.200 --> 1:33:29.640 Hundreds of that it was the place to bury individuals. 1:33:30.200 --> 1:33:34.240 And the Civil War was another terrible event in which 1:33:34.600 --> 1:33:37.400 numerous Union soldiers had nowhere to bury them, and many 1:33:37.439 --> 1:33:39.080 times they put them in the river to float down 1:33:39.120 --> 1:33:41.320 to Louisville have to fish eat them. But if you 1:33:41.400 --> 1:33:43.639 had some money, you could hire a mortician to bury 1:33:43.880 --> 1:33:46.479 bury your love one at Washington Park. And they started 1:33:46.520 --> 1:33:48.760 stacking them on top of each other because there's less 1:33:48.760 --> 1:33:52.640 and less space. So really my ancestors were like an 1:33:52.760 --> 1:33:55.519 urban renewal, get rid of some of the bodies out 1:33:55.560 --> 1:33:58.280 of there, to have more fresh space. 1:33:58.080 --> 1:33:59.960 To put more dead people face. 1:34:00.200 --> 1:34:04.160 I'm sure that was kind of the Yeah, I'm sure 1:34:04.240 --> 1:34:06.240 that was kind of their pitch. Right, Look, you think 1:34:06.280 --> 1:34:09.200 I'm doing a ghastly deed. I'm actually doing everybody a 1:34:09.280 --> 1:34:12.639 favor here, of course to my my wealth and benefit. 1:34:12.760 --> 1:34:14.120 But nevertheless, right. 1:34:15.320 --> 1:34:17.960 The Cunningham wealth is built on the dead bodies of 1:34:18.120 --> 1:34:19.759 Washington Park, That's all. 1:34:19.600 --> 1:34:20.120 I can tell you. 1:34:20.760 --> 1:34:23.040 And we moved in our Latre and Ellesmere to get 1:34:23.040 --> 1:34:25.760 out of town. People got angry if they saw their 1:34:25.800 --> 1:34:29.639 grandma coming down on a buggy losing an arm next 1:34:29.720 --> 1:34:33.640 to my great great granddad William cunt old honey, and 1:34:33.760 --> 1:34:35.719 so he was chased out of town by a mob, 1:34:35.920 --> 1:34:38.920 according to the inquiry, chased out of town by a mob. 1:34:43.280 --> 1:34:47.519 Just look it up Wikipedia, William Cunningham body snatcher. 1:34:47.560 --> 1:34:50.720 It's all right there, we will I'm we're going to 1:34:50.760 --> 1:34:52.960 be checking into that.

It was there 1:35:06.280 --> 1:35:10.360 for decades nothing but bones.

Did you run in any 1:38:08.400 --> 1:38:10.840 trouble as for is getting in and out of places? 1:38:11.680 --> 1:38:11.720 No? 1:38:12.000 --> 1:38:15.559 None, at all you know, TSA was the line was moving. 1:38:15.760 --> 1:38:19.120 So I haven't felt anything over the last couple of 1:38:19.160 --> 1:38:22.920 weeks with the shutdown with air traffick controllers, but it 1:38:22.960 --> 1:38:24.160 doesn't mean it's not happening. 1:38:24.680 --> 1:38:26.680 Yeah, let's talk to Alex Stone about it. Alex, what 1:38:26.760 --> 1:38:27.240 are we seeing? 1:38:28.560 --> 1:38:31.719 Yeah, So the big issue here being the Favor workers. 1:38:31.720 --> 1:38:33.960 Even though they quote unquote haven't been getting paid now 1:38:34.200 --> 1:38:37.360 for a number of weeks, this is now the first 1:38:37.479 --> 1:38:41.439 week that they have actually gone with a zero dollar paycheck. 1:38:42.040 --> 1:38:44.680 That yesterday was they were going to get paid their 1:38:44.720 --> 1:38:47.640 previous pay period of two weeks ago. They got a 1:38:47.760 --> 1:38:51.320 little bit in that paycheck from before the shutdown, but 1:38:51.400 --> 1:38:53.400 now they're fully in it. So they got no money 1:38:53.600 --> 1:38:56.759 on Tuesday when typically they would have had a paycheck. 1:38:56.880 --> 1:38:59.679 So this is more real than it has been since 1:38:59.760 --> 1:39:03.000 the shutdown started. And so now air traffic controllers they 1:39:03.080 --> 1:39:07.519 are turning to food banks and regular banks looking for 1:39:07.640 --> 1:39:10.720 zero interest loans, looking for some help. This week, air 1:39:10.760 --> 1:39:14.960 traffic controllers began handing out leaflets at airports across the 1:39:15.040 --> 1:39:18.519 country calling for an end to the shutdown and saying 1:39:19.200 --> 1:39:22.559 that they look at they work six days a week, 1:39:22.640 --> 1:39:27.519 oftentimes mandatory over time, because the FAA was already thirty 1:39:27.560 --> 1:39:31.360 five hundred air traffic controllers short of target levels before 1:39:31.640 --> 1:39:34.200 the shutdown, so they've got to work. And it's also 1:39:34.320 --> 1:39:38.680 why control towers and air traffic control centers are being 1:39:38.760 --> 1:39:41.439 shut down or reduced in what they're able to do 1:39:41.640 --> 1:39:44.599 almost every day now where the numbers are going down. 1:39:44.680 --> 1:39:47.880 But Mark Raush is a controller handing out pamphlets at 1:39:47.880 --> 1:39:50.439 airport and he says, they're really hurting that you continue 1:39:50.479 --> 1:39:51.200 to come to work. 1:39:51.240 --> 1:39:55.519 Each and every day. We're proud bunch, we're a professional bunch, 1:39:55.880 --> 1:39:58.120 and we're all showing up to work every day for 1:39:58.280 --> 1:40:01.519 no pay, skiing the public support to help us end 1:40:01.520 --> 1:40:02.400 the shott And he says. 1:40:02.320 --> 1:40:05.200 Yeah, controllers are now getting second jobs or driving for 1:40:05.360 --> 1:40:08.120 Uber in door dash and instacart to make ends meet, 1:40:08.160 --> 1:40:10.840 to make some money. But that adds a new layer 1:40:11.000 --> 1:40:15.360 of distraction, and they're not sleeping during that time. They 1:40:15.439 --> 1:40:18.559 work these long hours anyway, and then now they get 1:40:18.640 --> 1:40:20.840 off and they're either handing out pamphlets or they're driving 1:40:20.920 --> 1:40:23.880 for Uber, and then they go in and they control 1:40:23.960 --> 1:40:26.400 that flight that you're on. That that it adds in 1:40:26.520 --> 1:40:30.040 a layer of risk into the flying system. He says 1:40:30.080 --> 1:40:32.080 that they don't like you don't want to introduce. 1:40:31.840 --> 1:40:35.559 A distraction into an air traffic controller, and they're plugging 1:40:35.560 --> 1:40:37.360 in and looking at the runways and in the back 1:40:37.400 --> 1:40:39.800 of their head that has I just ran out of money. 1:40:39.840 --> 1:40:41.640 I had zero dollars in my bank account. How am 1:40:41.680 --> 1:40:43.720 I going to refill my vehicle so they can come 1:40:43.800 --> 1:40:46.960 back tomorrow to not get paid? How am I going 1:40:47.000 --> 1:40:48.640 to How am I gonna put food on table? How 1:40:48.640 --> 1:40:49.960 am I going to pay the rest and guys. 1:40:50.000 --> 1:40:53.280 Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is saying forty four percent of 1:40:53.360 --> 1:40:55.320 delays on Sunday, and they had quite a few of 1:40:55.360 --> 1:40:58.120 them were because of staffing. As people are saying more 1:40:58.160 --> 1:41:00.519 and more, I can't come in, even though they're to 1:41:00.560 --> 1:41:03.400 come in. I can't come in because of any number 1:41:03.400 --> 1:41:06.560 of things childcare, food, gasoline. But that's why towers and 1:41:06.600 --> 1:41:09.599 air traffic control centers are being heavily impacted and shut 1:41:09.680 --> 1:41:12.599 down for a period of time every day and all 1:41:12.640 --> 1:41:16.200 over the country. But Duffy is saying, the controllers are 1:41:16.680 --> 1:41:19.679 sending a very clear message they want this shut down 1:41:19.760 --> 1:41:21.760 to end right now, or at least a stop gap. 1:41:21.800 --> 1:41:23.800 He says, this is their message thinking out how you 1:41:23.880 --> 1:41:28.120 guys can negotiate, have a conversation, but pay us in 1:41:28.200 --> 1:41:31.120 the introm make sure we get paid for the work 1:41:31.200 --> 1:41:34.160 that we provide to the American people. Speaking for the 1:41:34.200 --> 1:41:36.240 controllers there, but he says, a president is not going 1:41:36.320 --> 1:41:39.320 to get wiggle room on this to make this stop 1:41:39.439 --> 1:41:41.799 and end right now if it means wiggle room with Democrats, 1:41:41.840 --> 1:41:42.200 and so I. 1:41:42.200 --> 1:41:45.880 Don't think you're going to see the president and negotiate 1:41:45.960 --> 1:41:48.960 here because he has nothing to give up. 1:41:49.120 --> 1:41:51.920 So the controllers are saying, yeah, okay, but they need 1:41:51.960 --> 1:41:54.200 to get a paycheck. PSA officers the same thing where 1:41:54.200 --> 1:41:56.920 they get paid a lot less average around twenty four 1:41:56.960 --> 1:41:59.000 dollars an hour, where they're they're hurting and going to 1:41:59.080 --> 1:42:01.880 food banks too. So it's it's a tough spot for 1:42:01.960 --> 1:42:03.720 them to be in. But the air traffic controllers, they 1:42:03.760 --> 1:42:06.080 are now out at airports asking you to take the 1:42:06.120 --> 1:42:09.080 pamphlet telling you to call your congress person and email 1:42:09.160 --> 1:42:11.559 them to make the point that they want this thing 1:42:11.600 --> 1:42:12.000 to be over. 1:42:13.320 --> 1:42:14.800 You would you would think there'd be some kind of 1:42:14.880 --> 1:42:17.360 emergency funding available for this, wouldn't you, guys? 1:42:17.520 --> 1:42:19.280 I mean, I don't know where that would come from, but. 1:42:21.320 --> 1:42:24.479 Remembers of Congress. Yeah, Congress is getting paid. The FBI 1:42:24.640 --> 1:42:28.200 agents are getting paid, but air traffic controllers and TSA 1:42:28.280 --> 1:42:30.400 officers they are not all right with that. 1:42:30.560 --> 1:42:34.479 Alex, I'm sorry right now. I was just gonna say, 1:42:35.040 --> 1:42:38.120 until you know, something gets passed, which will never happen, 1:42:38.200 --> 1:42:41.680 that you know, if a government shut down happens, then 1:42:41.840 --> 1:42:44.559 folks in Congress don't get paid. I mean, that'll expedite 1:42:44.720 --> 1:42:47.280 process until that happens, and it ain't ever gonna be 1:42:47.400 --> 1:42:48.080 solved out thing. 1:42:49.439 --> 1:42:51.720 Yeah, I mean, they're getting a paycheck. And then that's 1:42:51.760 --> 1:42:53.679 kind of where the air traffic controllers come down, where 1:42:53.680 --> 1:42:56.000 they say that the people who can make the difference, 1:42:56.439 --> 1:42:58.519 they don't feel like they're really feeling it right now 1:42:59.520 --> 1:43:03.400 compared the working man and woman who is showing up 1:43:03.439 --> 1:43:06.040 every day. And in the case of the TSA, they 1:43:06.120 --> 1:43:08.720 got to be in uniform and look presentable and all 1:43:08.800 --> 1:43:12.240 of that. And the air traffic controllers are highly trained 1:43:12.280 --> 1:43:13.920 and they went to the academy. There's an air traffic 1:43:13.960 --> 1:43:16.080 control academy. They got through that. They deal with a 1:43:16.120 --> 1:43:19.120 lot of stress every day and they are considered vital. 1:43:19.200 --> 1:43:21.640 I mean they are very vital to what all of 1:43:21.760 --> 1:43:24.360 us do when we travel, and right now they're not 1:43:24.400 --> 1:43:25.320 getting any paychecks. 1:43:25.800 --> 1:43:27.800 All right with that, Alex, we will let you go, buddy, 1:43:27.880 --> 1:43:31.320 Thanks so much. You got a paces our good friend 1:43:31.680 --> 1:43:39.040 Alex Stone from ABC Rock in other news, and that's 1:43:39.080 --> 1:43:40.800 cool that you've been traveling. Have would run into that 1:43:40.880 --> 1:43:43.160 type of thing. But we'll see how it all develops. 1:43:43.439 --> 1:43:44.160 In other news. 1:43:44.600 --> 1:43:48.080 This is kind of like a nightmare. With all the 1:43:48.120 --> 1:43:51.439 stuff that goes on with social media these days, you 1:43:51.560 --> 1:43:55.080 can get caught up in something like this. Megan Davis 1:43:55.400 --> 1:43:59.160 is a college student down in Texas, doesn't say what town. 1:44:00.680 --> 1:44:04.839 She is not a server at Olive Garden in Saint Louis, 1:44:05.720 --> 1:44:08.360 and she didn't get arrested for assault after throwing a 1:44:08.439 --> 1:44:12.840 basket of breadsticks at a customer, But her life has 1:44:12.960 --> 1:44:16.479 been turned upside down since a Facebook account called pure 1:44:16.640 --> 1:44:21.000 Videos I guess they have on their own page, posted 1:44:21.040 --> 1:44:25.400 a real mugshot of Megan Davis and claimed she had 1:44:25.479 --> 1:44:29.000 retaliated for a bad tip by tossing the breadsticks at 1:44:29.080 --> 1:44:32.800 a diner there. Says she is probably like my worst 1:44:32.920 --> 1:44:37.240 nightmare coming to reality. She admitted that the mugshot was 1:44:37.400 --> 1:44:39.200 real and that came from a night in August, soon 1:44:39.240 --> 1:44:42.520 after her mother died, when she was arrested for public intoxication. 1:44:43.920 --> 1:44:48.120 But this post has garnered harassment and creepy comments from 1:44:48.240 --> 1:44:52.559 all around the country. People are disgusting out there, she said, 1:44:52.720 --> 1:44:56.960 and scary, like, how do I even fix this? So 1:44:57.120 --> 1:45:01.400 can you imagine if like something like that got posted 1:45:01.520 --> 1:45:04.759 on you and people jumped all over it without bothering 1:45:04.840 --> 1:45:06.640 to see if it was really you or not. 1:45:07.960 --> 1:45:10.599 Oh yeah, boom, and everybody has their opinion. They see 1:45:10.640 --> 1:45:14.559 a video there's no context, and they're ripping you to shreds, 1:45:14.560 --> 1:45:16.760 and you're like, it's not even me, not even one 1:45:16.800 --> 1:45:19.280 that did it right, And that's that's a cruel place. 1:45:19.680 --> 1:45:21.840 That's the Uh, that's the thing. 1:45:21.960 --> 1:45:22.400 You can't. 1:45:22.960 --> 1:45:28.439 You can't defend yourself in the open form like that, right, No, because. 1:45:28.240 --> 1:45:31.120 There's I mean, you know, thousands, if not hundreds of 1:45:31.160 --> 1:45:33.720 thousands of people that can jump onto this thing. And 1:45:34.800 --> 1:45:38.160 I guess over time you can it sorts itself out. 1:45:38.280 --> 1:45:41.880 But that's the thing about the Internet. It's it's what's 1:45:41.920 --> 1:45:44.639 the the saying with it. It's not it is important 1:45:44.640 --> 1:45:48.280 anymore to be accurate. It's important to be first. So 1:45:48.400 --> 1:45:51.439 if you can be the one to you know, break 1:45:51.520 --> 1:45:54.800 some story about some horrible lady that's not even her, 1:45:55.040 --> 1:45:57.320 and everyone jumps on it. That's that's what matters. 1:45:58.640 --> 1:46:01.560 In other news, you gotta watch what your kids do. 1:46:01.640 --> 1:46:05.679 Your kids shove I'm sure not the older ones anymore. 1:46:05.720 --> 1:46:08.840 But does the little guy shove anything in his mouth 1:46:08.920 --> 1:46:10.040 and swallow it? 1:46:11.400 --> 1:46:11.439 No? 1:46:11.880 --> 1:46:14.920 Yeah, we're past that. He's five, So we're past the 1:46:16.560 --> 1:46:20.240 shoving weird things in your nose, your mouth, your ears faced. 1:46:20.360 --> 1:46:25.000 Thankfully, this happened with a thirteen year old in New 1:46:25.080 --> 1:46:32.360 Zealand recently swallowed nearly two hundred high powered magnets. 1:46:33.920 --> 1:46:36.639 What uh he thought? 1:46:36.840 --> 1:46:40.160 I don't know again talking about stuff you pick up online. 1:46:41.000 --> 1:46:45.439 Apparently he had seen somewhere online that if you ate 1:46:45.479 --> 1:46:48.519 a magnet, it would help you. So if you eat 1:46:48.600 --> 1:46:50.759 one magnet, why not eat two hundred. 1:46:51.800 --> 1:46:54.320 If one is good, two hundred must be better. We 1:46:54.680 --> 1:46:55.920 live by that philosophy at. 1:46:55.960 --> 1:47:02.120 So you'll be freaking superman. Surprisingly, he didn't get the 1:47:02.280 --> 1:47:05.920 health supplement that he was looking for. He needed some 1:47:06.120 --> 1:47:08.080 of his bowels extracted. 1:47:09.040 --> 1:47:12.519 Oh man, yeah, you're that's gonna take a little surgery. 1:47:13.600 --> 1:47:17.200 The doctors at the local hospital there had to go 1:47:17.840 --> 1:47:21.720 on a scavenger hunt and the kid's belly, discovering four 1:47:21.880 --> 1:47:28.679 separate linear chains of metal objects once inside. Uh these magnets, 1:47:28.720 --> 1:47:32.080 which are I guess marketed is I guess like you 1:47:32.280 --> 1:47:35.120 may string them together or something, and it says they're 1:47:35.200 --> 1:47:39.920 marketed as toys. They obviously would attach to each other. 1:47:41.240 --> 1:47:44.920 They U da da da da Dad. They clogged up 1:47:44.960 --> 1:47:49.479 his bowels. The legal experts are now pointing out the 1:47:49.520 --> 1:47:53.200 alarming difficulty of enforcing a domestic safety band when overseas 1:47:53.320 --> 1:47:57.600 retailers operate without restraint. So these kids or you know, 1:47:57.760 --> 1:48:00.920 parents are ordering stuff online, which we've talked about before. 1:48:01.960 --> 1:48:04.599 Oh yeah, you know, this stuff can only be police 1:48:04.680 --> 1:48:08.760 so so well, so the kid goes on and cool, 1:48:08.800 --> 1:48:10.400 I want to get some of these little magnets to 1:48:10.439 --> 1:48:15.360 play with. Mom, okay, cool whatever, Yeah, cool, pluck yourself out. 1:48:15.720 --> 1:48:22.000 Yeah right, and then he eats them. We probably saw 1:48:22.120 --> 1:48:24.840 some video and then that had another video that's saying 1:48:24.960 --> 1:48:27.880 it was good for you or it did something cool, 1:48:28.000 --> 1:48:31.920 and yeah, it's just these kids are just surrounded by 1:48:31.960 --> 1:48:35.000 this stuff at a lot of so much information and 1:48:35.120 --> 1:48:37.599 a lot of it that's frankly not true. 1:48:39.960 --> 1:48:42.120 Uh So let me ask you, because Jason Knight and 1:48:42.160 --> 1:48:43.800 the Vega before we get out of here. We've only 1:48:43.840 --> 1:48:44.599 got a little bit of time. 1:48:45.320 --> 1:48:45.960 What uh. 1:48:47.600 --> 1:48:51.720 We are your kids in Halloween? Because where you live, 1:48:51.800 --> 1:48:55.960 you don't you won't get any trigger treats. No, no, okay, 1:48:58.520 --> 1:49:02.040 So when your kids go out, I would assume you're 1:49:02.040 --> 1:49:03.840 going to take them to a neighborhood or something. We 1:49:04.160 --> 1:49:06.439 used to do that sometime with our kids because of 1:49:06.640 --> 1:49:09.200 what the house was. There was there was like a 1:49:09.280 --> 1:49:10.880 house next to us in a house at the end 1:49:10.920 --> 1:49:13.200 of our driveway, and then there was a neighborhood across 1:49:13.320 --> 1:49:15.920 the road, so we had to take them around to 1:49:16.040 --> 1:49:19.000 a neighborhood and turn them loose. Now, when you were 1:49:19.000 --> 1:49:20.800 a kid, what did you do? 1:49:22.600 --> 1:49:25.120 Yeah, a bunch of different things. I remember we'd go 1:49:25.200 --> 1:49:27.840 to my grandma's she lived over on Deal Road, which 1:49:27.880 --> 1:49:30.000 is off the North Bend, and there was a lot 1:49:30.080 --> 1:49:31.640 of houses. I mean, that's what you're looking for, a 1:49:31.720 --> 1:49:35.720 lot of houses in a small space, right that where 1:49:35.720 --> 1:49:40.160 you can just really increase your your your profits there. 1:49:40.680 --> 1:49:44.559 So yeah, we did that. I've all every house I've 1:49:44.600 --> 1:49:48.639 ever lived in, I mean growing up and of course 1:49:48.760 --> 1:49:52.600 now has always been like down a long driveway. No 1:49:52.760 --> 1:49:56.040 neighbors know nothing, so I've never I can honestly say, 1:49:56.080 --> 1:49:59.920 I don't know if I ever had any trigger treaters 1:50:00.080 --> 1:50:02.360 come to my house. I guess maybe when I lived 1:50:02.439 --> 1:50:04.960 in I lived in Nashville, I had a house that 1:50:05.080 --> 1:50:06.600 was in a neighborhood, and you know, a couple of 1:50:06.640 --> 1:50:09.280 neighborhood kids would come by, but other or not, that's it. 1:50:09.640 --> 1:50:14.360 Yeah, Well, keeping my go buy extra a candy this year, 1:50:14.680 --> 1:50:17.479 just like Tanya Rourke was talking yesterday, she's buying like 1:50:17.560 --> 1:50:20.280 two hundred dollars worth of candy. Apparently with that, we 1:50:20.439 --> 1:50:22.479 check in with traffic and weather, what is going on
