WEBVTT - 12-19-25 Scott Sloan Show 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.440 It's going to be an American idiot. 0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:05.800 All right, one more time, one more time, Dan Horde 0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:09.440 on the show on seven hundred ww's the Bengals go 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:11.600 to Miami. You go from the coldest game of the 0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:13.680 year to one of the warmest games of the year. 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:16.960 Trying to navigate that one in your mind. Bengals trying 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.160 to win out in their final three games here and 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:21.600 also find out who is going to be on this 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:23.840 team in the fall of twenty twenty six. 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:24.480 On There is the. 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.479 Voice of the Bearcats and of course our Bengals on 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:29.960 Sunday in Miami is Dan Horde. Welcome Dan. How are you, 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:31.560 buddy Clony. 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:32.080 I'm great. 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:32.519 How are you. 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:34.239 I'm doing well. I'm doing well here. 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:37.120 There's so much to unpack because, let's face it, they're 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:38.960 going to try and win out doesn't really mean anything. 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.600 It's more about pride and also figuring out who is 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:43.760 going to be on the team, especially on the defensive 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.400 side this time next year, or at least for the 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:49.320 fall of twenty twenty six. But I'll begin with this 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.279 because there's been so much noise off the field. One 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.080 of the questions that I don't know you've an answer 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:58.240 for but I'll ask you, is Zach Taylor was asked 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:00.880 about his contract, whether it extended or not, and the 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.720 Bengals aren't talking the front offices and talking, Zach Taylor 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.520 isn't talking, And you know, as a fan, I go, 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.679 why is that such a secret, because it feels like 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:11.480 he works at the Pentagon and not at pay Corps. 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.080 Is it that is that big a deal that you 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.240 can tell him at Yeah, they extended me, so well. 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.759 Yeah, I don't think it is a secret at this point. 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.000 He certainly didn't deny the reports that his contract runs 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:24.880 for two more years, so I think we can assume 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.720 that that is the case. I do think that it 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:32.440 is maybe a premature conclusion to think that that guarantees 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:34.600 that he will be back. Now, I'm not trying to 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.000 suggest he won't be. My suspicion that he will be. 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:38.600 But. 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.640 You know, the amount of money that we're talking about 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.760 in the fl is not the amount of money that 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.400 a franchise couldn't eat. So I do think the last 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.240 three games matter. I think Mike Brown and his family 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.240 want to see how this thing finishes out and then 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.200 they'll make whatever decisions they want to make going forward. 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.760 But again, I would expect that Zach will be back. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:00.720 Yeah. 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:01.080 Okay. 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.080 The other element then is Duke Tobin, and it seems 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.240 like from a fan perspective, there's more pressure on Duke Tobin, 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.280 or at least adding to the staff in the front 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.440 office than there would be on Zach Taylor. 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.040 Yeah, they did add scouts. They added two scouts and 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.520 an analytical guys past year. Maybe they will continue to 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.800 expand that part of the organization this coming off season. 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:22.760 I don't think it's ever going to be the largest 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.680 scouting staff in the NFL, but they did move toward 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.639 making it a little bit bigger this last year, and 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.520 then we'll see if that continues. I do think that 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.160 the front office this offseason that is the part of 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.000 the organization that needs to get this right. They were 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.040 on a heater for a while there and getting the 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.000 team to the Super Bowl in twenty one and back 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.359 to the EFC Championship Game in twenty two. I do 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.360 think that if Joe Burrow didn't hurt his risk with 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.359 seven games to go in twenty three, they were going 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.120 back to the playoffs. We tend to look at this 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.600 three year stretches three years of disaster. When I do 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.360 think in twenty three they were still really good. Man 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.120 had a chance to maybe, you know, go back to 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.080 the championship game of the Super Bowl if he didn't 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:02.960 set for that injury. But in any case, he did 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.400 and they didn't. So this is the off season where 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.760 after locking up your offense last year, you got to 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.840 fix the defense. You have to. That's it takes, the defense, 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.320 do whatever it takes. There's seventh or eighth in salary caps. Face, 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.959 They've got some room to spend. They haven't treaded away 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.760 any high draft picks, so use whatever capital you have 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.200 to fix that defense once and for all. 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.240 Who would you build around on d I mean obviously 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.880 DJ Turner, J Hill, I think Miles Murphy's come on, 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:36.000 Shimar Stewart's too grain and too injured to get a 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:37.480 good sample of. At this point, you're not going to 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:38.960 give up on a guy in his rookie season, of 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:39.400 course too. 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:40.920 But outside of those four, we else. 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.920 You see, I don't know, I don't necessarily look at 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.560 it that way. Sloane's I mean, certainly DJ Turner is 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.560 a building block. He's got a real chance of going 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.240 to the Pro Bowl this year. But I look at 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.200 it in terms of all, right, what reinforcements do you need? 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.040 You need a starter on the defensive line. I think 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.360 you need a starter at linebacker, and I think you 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.840 need a start at safety. So those guys don't have 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.080 to be superstars, but they need to be proven, veteran 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.440 guys that you can rely on. So for me, at least, 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.440 I want to go out and get a starter, a 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:16.920 proven capable starter at every level of the defense and 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:17.520 go from there. 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.040 Can you do that in one off season? 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.160 Sure? And I think the key is, you know, Trey 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.480 Anddrickson is the greatest free agenc signing in franchise history, 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.560 and the likelihood of getting a guy like that is 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.600 not high because if you do that, then you're only 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.840 going to get, you know, one big prize in free 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.480 agency or close to one, as opposed to adding multiple 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.120 guys like I'm talking about. To me, the key is 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:47.640 the Mike Hilton's should obey a Woogs, Larry Ogan, Jobi's, 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.760 the guys who came in here for three and four 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.640 years are on offense, Ted Carriss, the guys who have 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.880 come in on the middle of the road type salaries 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.960 but were proven starters elsewhere. That give you those solid, 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.080 dependable vets that are great in the locker room, that 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.560 are good players on the field. To me, that's what 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.719 this team needs. And with a salary salary cap space 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.279 that they have that is very realistic to do. 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.080 Is that what you think he means when Joe Burrow says, hey, 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.760 we've got to get creative with changes here. When he 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.520 says creative, what do you think that entails. 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.719 My best guess on that is maybe in some of 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:29.440 the ways that they've negotiated with players and done lined 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.960 up their contracts. I think Joe Burrow is saying, we 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.480 have to reconsider how we've done all of that. It's 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.719 the next in our evolution. You know, anytime things go 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.320 poorly for the Bengals, it's like our mindset goes back 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.160 twenty years. They've made a lot of changes in the. 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:45.960 Joe Burrow era. 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.400 We've talked about changes they've made in the staff. They've 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.600 built the practice bubble. They've given these huge contracts to 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.400 Burrow and Chase and Higgins. They're not the same old Bengals, 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.719 but that doesn't mean they don't have to continue to grow. 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.119 And I think that's what Joe Burro is trying to say, 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.840 let's look at every aspect of the way we've done 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.280 business during this three year stretch that we haven't made 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.120 the playoffs and figure out, all right, what are other 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.760 teams doing, What are other successful teams doing that we 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:13.840 have not been doing, and let's do that. 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.360 Yeah, and I think there is a you know, they 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:19.239 certainly may changes. 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:20.920 A lot of that has to do with public pressure, 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.000 media everything out of the practice bubble you mentioned. Snowgate, 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.479 of course is the latest thing from last weekend. There's 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.080 enough people around the league to talk poorly about the Bengals, 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:31.719 and you know, every time we have a miss, but 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.080 the team has a misstep, I think it's magnified more 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.760 because of the past history. Whether that's fair or unfair, 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:37.960 you have to be determined. 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.279 Well, I agree with that, and you know, let's just 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.680 take a look at Joe Burrow's comments over the last 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.520 couple of weeks. So any time that he expresses any 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:52.040 sort of frustration on happiness, which is unnatural considering how 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:53.880 this year has gone for him and for the team, 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:57.440 people don't know him very well just immediately say, as 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.359 if it's fact, and these people have big platforms that 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.600 he hates it. Here they said it before he was drafted. 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.160 Joe's not going to go to Cincinnati, you know, And 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.960 none of that's ever been true. By and large, all 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.560 he's ever said is great things about playing here. It 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.640 talks about, you know, appreciation and respect for the coaches 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.240 and the staff. So rather than listening to people that 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.760 don't know Joe, let's send to the people that do, 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.360 including himself. I don't blame him for wanting to win. 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.040 Mike Brown wants to win. Duke Tobin wants to win. 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:29.680 You want to win. I want to win. We all 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.120 want to win. They haven't won this year, So fix it. 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.960 That's it. Fix it, yeah, and everybody will be happy, 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.800 and at least in the short term, people that like 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.080 to bash the Bengals nationally will stop doing so, at 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:42.000 least for a little while. 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:43.200 Yeah. 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:44.880 And the thing with Burrow too is, you know, we're 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:46.800 way too much into reading the tea leaves here and 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:50.360 what's what is his future here? What messages he sending 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.720 and the experts are saying, oh, clearly, you know he's 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:54.320 going to give him one more season than he's the 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.000 hell out of here, and you know he's going to 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.520 go Andrew Luck like, yeah, yeah, I think he answer 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.679 the question Privent, It's like, yeah, I'm a benk next season. 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:02.680 But I don't know. People get traded all the time. 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.560 It could happen. I have no idea what's going to 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.160 happen two, three, five years from now. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:10.119 It's a stupid question, right, I thought. 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:14.200 Albert Breer, who it's about the NFL for Sports Illustrated, 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.400 he did a video about Burrow yesterday or maybe it 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.920 was the day before, and he's the one national reporter 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.040 that actually seems to talk to Joe and know how 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.520 he feels about these things. And he more or less said, 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.880 from all the conversations that he's had with Joe over 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:31.920 the years, Joe wants to be a change agent in Cincinnati. 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:35.960 He wants to be the guy that turns this franchise 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:40.240 into one that people respect nationwide as opposed to one 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.160 that they often mock. But he said, if you go 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.680 for a long time and things aren't happening the way 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.000 that they need to, then maybe you go from being 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.320 Joe Montana to Matthew Stafford in Detroit, where you just say, 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.680 you know what, we had a good run, we didn't 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.880 get where we wanted to go. Maybe it's time to 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.680 go somewhere else. We're a long way from that. Joe 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.560 Burrow signed through twenty twenty nine. The Bengals have options 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.200 after that. Jamar and t are signed for at least 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.560 four more years, So this group's going to be together 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.280 for a while. Let's fix the defense so they can 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:12.800 get back into Super Bowl contention. 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.160 Same time, though, how much weight does he carry with 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.600 people who last him as Brown and Blackburn? 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.520 I think a lot, But I don't look at that 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:25.280 as a negative thing. It's portrayed, like, you know, the 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:29.000 Bengals front office and ownership is in hand the whims 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.080 of Joe Burrow. It's not that. It's that they understand 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.880 that they have this rare and awesome resource and it's 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.160 worth talking to him and finding out his opinion on things. 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.400 That doesn't mean they always do exactly what he wants. 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:47.360 In the case of extending T Higgins, you know, maybe 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.160 that's the closest thing I was proposed to to doing 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.760 what you know, Joe wanted them to do. But that 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.520 doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't something that they weren't seriously 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.200 already considering on their own. I think they looked at 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.720 the team and said, you know what, Let's reward our 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.520 best players. Let's keep our best guys. It would be 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.680 nice if they were all in positions so the stars everywhere. 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.640 The way the roster looks right now, that's not the case. 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.640 So let's at least keep the best guys we have 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:13.960 and go from there. All right. 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.680 So Dan Horbe got Miami this weekend a much better 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.000 atmosphere I think, to broadcast football in and certainly play 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:21.800 in for a number of players, and that would be 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.960 the warmth of Miami in the eighties, where it was 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.679 in the sub zeros last week in Cincinnati. That's a 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.640 hell of a turn, right there. Definitely a windows open 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.360 day for you down at Miami. Let's hug injuries real quick. 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.760 Here, Can I jump in for a sec? Yes? So 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.680 hard Rock Stadium, where the game will be played, is 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.840 one of the few boots in the NFL where you 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.560 can't open the windows, which drives me crazy. I want 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.760 them open, whether it's hot, whether it's frigid. I want 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.679 to feel like I'm at the game. They are permanently 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.520 inclosed in Miami. It's in a rough spot in terms 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.160 of the stadium. It's kind of hard to see the 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.720 majority of the field. It's really narrow, so laugh and 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.080 I will be shoulder to shoulder. I don't like to 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:06.480 complain about the broadcasting conditions because I understand my audience 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.360 doesn't want to hear it. I got a great game, 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.000 don't complain, right, But this is a tough one. Yeah. 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.040 I've heard from many people, yourself included that hard rock 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.080 is added near the bottom of an NFL stadium, So 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.040 which kind of surprises me, knowing you know how things 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.040 run down in Miami. Let's get injuries. 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.880 It's the fans, but it is tough for visiting radio 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.400 I tell you that, gotcha. 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.600 And then visiting teams as well too, because man, you 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.160 know that that dehydration is real when you're used to 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.200 temperatures like we've had here. That's that's I think that's 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:37.680 a big component of this game. On Sunday, bj Hill, Jenkins, Jones, Asi, 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.400 all of them oddly out with the ankle injuries, not practicing. 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.920 I think the biggest question though, is the state of 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:47.160 T Higgins and the concussion that he suffered. And of 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.480 course came back and read it in Buffalo this last week, 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.000 going to be back. You know, the one thing I 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.959 brought is like what I understand is especially that Buffalo game, 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:56.679 come to the concussion, why he was not wearing the 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.760 helmet bubble, and as I recall, I don't know if 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.520 I've seen a since he player this season that's had 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.319 that protective extra padding on their helmet. 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.280 Saw me, how many of you seen in the NFL. 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:08.000 I mean it's. 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.200 Less yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:16.360 They required training camp. It's definitely reduced concussions in training camp, 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:20.160 and it would probably help some guys, but they don't 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.439 like the look. I think it's a cosmetic thing. Maybe 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.920 it impedes their vision a little bit. I'm not sure, 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.840 but I can, off the top of my head maybe 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:31.360 named three or four guys league wide that I recall 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:35.720 seeing wearing that guardian cap during regular season games. 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:37.800 I guess if I'm ts like, hey, I want to play, 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:39.480 but I could, you know, go back the other way 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.640 and regret, especially with the frozen turf that we saw 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.560 as well, And that's certainly it's kind of like guys 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.800 that have the have the mouthpiece on their helmet that 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:48.360 they don't put the mouthpiece in their mouth. 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:53.080 Same thing, yeah, except that the mouthpiece doesn't look weird 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:56.839 and the helmet bubble or guardian cap as it's called does. 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.679 And you know, young man that don't don't like to 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:04.760 look weird. Maybe they should be a little bit more 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:08.160 willing to correct because that thing probably would help. But again, 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.720 I can't think of there's a wide receiver in Green 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.839 Bay wears it. Yes, maybe a couple of defensive backs 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:16.000 that wear it. That's about it. 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:20.040 Yeah, Dan the Dolphins bench to a six season, leads 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.360 the NFL in I iNTS. He's guaranteed I think, like 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.600 fifty four million next season. Why is it that working 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:27.679 for him? Down in Miami? 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:33.720 They lost Kyrie kill in Week three or four, his 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.000 best weapon in one of the NFL's best weapons, maybe 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:40.200 the best weapon in the league. So that's a factor. 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.520 I don't think their offensive line is great. That's a factor. 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:47.000 And you know, I think Tua is a kind of 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.280 a product of the system type quarterback. I do think 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.240 the Dolphins have had a very creative offense in recent years. 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:57.360 He did lead the league passing yards one year, but 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.560 when you watch him, it feels to me, seems to 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.000 me that like if the first option isn't there, they're 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.720 not getting much out of the play. So I think 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.640 they've schemed up some good stuff. They usually have a 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.720 really good running game. They've got a lot of speed. 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.520 Even without Tyreek Hill, they're one of the faster teams 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.760 in the league. So I think there have been a 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.440 lot of instances where one of those quick first read 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.840 passes from Tua gets into some speedy guy's hands and 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:24.320 the next thing you know, you've got a big play 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.640 that makes him look great. I just think he's kind 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.600 of a middle of the pack, maybe slightly below the 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.640 middle of the pack type quarterback. And it was probably 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:36.760 a very questionable investment when they gave him a four 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.640 year deal for fifty three MILLI year, because they've got 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.200 three years left on that deal and stuff. Wh can 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:43.840 put a guy on the bench? Yep? And now you 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:45.920 have to think about, all right, we're going to eat 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.960 you know, ninety nine million dollars of salary cap next year. 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.440 If we cut him, that's a that'd be a challenging 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:52.200 thing for them to do. 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:56.760 Yeah, Quinn Yours out of Texas is the starting quarterback 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.080 this week from Miami saw a little bit of action 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.640 I think early of the season not not much. So 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.360 how hard is that for the Bengals coming and scout a 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:05.920 guy like that who you've never seen before. 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.320 You know, it's interesting. The offense doesn't change that much. 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.760 So that's the number one thing that you're scouting. But 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.720 you never know how a guy's going to perform. I'm 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.560 sure they've watched his preseason games. 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:18.280 Uh. 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.800 The one game he played in that you mentioned was 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:24.240 a blowout lost to Cleveland, of all teams, he threw 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.680 eight passes in that game. So he's a little bit, 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.920 you know, a question mark, a mystery factor in this game. 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:33.080 To me, the bigger thing is the bond a Chan. 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.960 He's got more than a thousand rushing yards. You know, 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:39.800 one of the fastest running backs in the NFL. Jalen Wright, 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.000 who backs up him, had one hundred yards two leaks 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.600 ago against the Jets. He's one of, you know, like 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.320 the second fastest running back in the NFL. So for 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.360 a Bengals defense that was bad against the run last 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.000 week and by and largest struggled against it this season, 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.120 I'm a lot more worried about though, those guys than 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:57.680 I am about Quinn yours. Yeah. 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.480 Yeah, I would look at a Chan and go, okay, 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.240 let's focus send him because he is, like, I think 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.240 third in the NFL in yards. They've got Jayleen Waddle, 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.320 They've got Darren Waller, who I think is almost your age. No, 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.520 Tyreek Hill, focus on stopping the run. I think Goods 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.920 had and it certainly it's it's one of those games 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.080 the defense can get right. 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.360 I think on Sunday, you're just gonna drop in almost 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.600 your age and just keep going as if you know, 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.600 you're just hoping that the sting lingers and I don't 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.720 get a chance to Retord he's as old as you too, buddy. 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.560 I still see many touchdowns. 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.320 He did have two touchdown catches on Monday night against 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.800 so you're right right. No, he is thirty seasonally thirty three. 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.240 He seems to still be bawling. 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:40.440 You know. 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.480 He retired. He came back and looked pretty good on 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.120 Monday night. The team sucked, but he had a good 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:47.120 game against Pittsburgh. 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.080 Fair enough, fair enough, fair enough. 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.040 Well, we have forty four year old grandfather's throwing touchdown passes, 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:55.720 so anything in today's league is possible. Dan Horde, Voice 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.160 of the Bengals, It's been a pleasure speaking to you 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.760 every Friday morning on the show, and hopefully we can 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.320 continue next year and into the playoffs. Presumably in twenty 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:05.880 twenty six, twenty seven. What do you say. 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.880 I think that sounds great. The Super Bowl is back 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.280 in so far next year, so let's run it back. 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.960 Let's go back to La finish the job this time around, 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.640 and you know, again, if they can fix the defense, 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.960 I think that that is very realistic. This franchise has 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.879 been to the Super Bowl three times Blony. In eighty 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:28.400 one they won six games the year before. In eighty eight, 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.560 they won four games the year before. In twenty one, 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.440 they won four games the year before. This is how 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.320 it goes. You know, have the building blocks with a 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:41.200 great quarterback and fix the defense and you can get 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:44.600 right back into contention. And that's that's my hope. And 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:45.760 I don't think it's so far. 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.320 All right, Hopefully this is the Christmas present you get 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:50.440 Dan Horde all the best, buddy, have a great game 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:52.280 Sunday and we'll talk again soon. 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:52.680 Be well. 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:54.200 Sounds good, Solny. 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:55.359 Thanks for having me on, sir. 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.400 Take care. It's a Scott's Loan show. It's the Home 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:07.439 of the Best Bengals covered seven hundred WWE sincenet. 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:07.720 Now a man who has entertainment reporting of coursing through 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:12.639 his veins, which makes him a medical offity. He is 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:15.160 ABC Will again from New York. 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:16.639 Will, Good morning, How are you. 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.879 I am doing very well in this countdown to Christmas, 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:21.840 the final countdown. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:22.280 How are you? 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:23.119 I'm fine. 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.439 I still haven't realized it's Christmas yet. Are you of 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:28.800 the mind, Like, are you surprised Christmas is next week already? 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.040 Because it feels like it should be about two or 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:32.800 three weeks out to me and it's not. It's triving 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:33.560 me crazy as to. 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:38.280 Why no I decorate. I put stuff up like November first. 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.720 I'm one of those awful people that's like fully in 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:44.119 the Christmas spirit before Thanksgiving even happened, So it feels 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:45.480 right to me we put. 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.320 Our stuff up earlier before, and still it feels like 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.240 Christmas should not be next week. I don't know what 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:52.120 it is that's the Christmas spirit somehow's missing. And from 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.639 though the very small sample size of those around me 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:56.680 who tolerate me, they will have a conversation with me. 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:57.000 Will. 0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:59.480 It seems like most people do the same mindset. You're 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:01.399 the guy it's in the Christmas spirit though, you're the 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:02.440 alph of the conversation. 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:03.080 I appreciate that. 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:07.760 Yes, yes, I'm I've got my inner Clark Griswold is 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:10.960 always you know, just jonesing for a light display or 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:11.720 whatever it might be. 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:12.359 Yeah, that's me. 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:15.720 The biggest entertainment story of the week obviously is the 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.639 shocking murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, and of 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.119 course we're still feeling the effects of that. I think 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.480 CBS is putting a special together his life as well, 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.880 but it just, uh, it was just so surreal when 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:27.440 that news broke. 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:29.840 Unbelievable. 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.160 Yeah, and when you look back at like his legacy, 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.159 the crazy thing to me is like, you know, a 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:38.359 lot of great directors will have a lane, right, Like 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:41.159 they will pick a genre and that will be you know, 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:44.840 every time there's a Scorsese drama, you know it's going 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.800 to be, you know, top notch. But with Rob Reiner, 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:49.960 it was like every you know, whether it was a 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:52.920 like a kid's movie or a coming of age story, 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:57.160 or a romance or a fantasy adventure, like he did 0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:00.879 all of it so so well. Rom com like he 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.639 was just yeah, like, you know, every single genre, he 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.480 was at the top of his game. So yeah, that 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:10.040 that is of course a devastating loss. 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.359 Yeah, I had an incredible run too as a director, 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.000 I mean actor as well. He's in so many really 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:16.600 good movies and playing a lot of cameos in recent years, 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:18.639 most recently as a matter of fact, Saturday night, I 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:21.199 was flipping around and I watched Spinal Tap too. It 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:22.600 is never going to be as good as the original, 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:24.200 but there's some good lines in good comedy and a 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:24.920 lot of callbacks. 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:25.800 But he was in that. 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.800 I'm like, Rob Briner was wearing the same hat and 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.520 jacket he did in the in Spinal Tap in eighty four, 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:32.400 and he still looks pretty good. 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:34.119 And then the next day we learned he was murdered. 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:35.720 Yeah. 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.680 Yeah, and like you know, even like television appearances too, 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.800 he played Zoe Ditionnel's dad and New Girl, which you know, 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:45.520 I think is how a lot of probably millennial television 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:48.400 fans might you know, recognize him. So yeah, you're right, 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:51.240 like he you know, whether it was directing or acting, 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:55.000 he always you know, was just such a force. 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.000 Didn't I just see him in The Bear last season 0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:57.360 as well? 0:20:59.119 --> 0:20:59.600 Oh man? 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.680 Yeah, yeah, yeah it was because I have been reckonmember 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:04.159 the first mine, like, I think that's Rob Reiner, and 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:07.119 sure enough that was, And yeah, he's playing like a 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:08.960 I know, a consultant or something like that, and that 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:10.879 show should be interesting to see how they treat that 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.119 next next season of The Bear. Unfortunately, they had just 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.040 had his hand on a lot of different projects. 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:18.280 Right right, Yeah, And you know, which is a sign 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:20.560 that a lot of different people wanted to work with him, 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:23.239 you know, because there's plenty of people, you know, like 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:26.639 James Cameron's of the world who you know, have a 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:28.479 lot of prestige, but I you know, I think have 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:31.879 a different type of reputation, whereas you know, with Rob Reiner, 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:34.800 everybody was always wanting to work with him and stuff. 0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:37.280 So it is such a tragedy. 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:38.080 Horrible, absolutely horrible. 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:42.520 Moving on Golden Globe, Frontrunner Run Battle after Another is 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:44.919 already on HBO Max two weeks ago, is in theaters, 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.840 and now it's on streaming, you know, and I think 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:50.080 that's awesome because I wanted to see it, and now 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:52.480 it's already gonna be on HBO Max, which I subscribe to. 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:53.960 But boy, I'll tell you what. 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.359 You look at it and go, it really feels like 0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:59.000 it's it's it's a turning point. It's almost and we 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:01.880 say over fulfilled theaters. But we just had this conversation 0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:03.480 last week, there's another example of it. 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:08.159 Yeah, I mean with this one in particular, coming to 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:11.600 streaming today for free. Part of me thinks that they 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:14.680 are this is a move to get as many eyeballs 0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:18.040 on it as possible headed into award season voting. So 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:20.040 I think, if you know it is the most nominated 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:22.720 at the Golden Globes, if it can walk away from 0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:26.000 the ceremony as the most awarded, that will bode well 0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:29.199 for Oscars contention. So part of me thinks that it 0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:31.760 is like with this movie in particular. Of course, there 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:33.960 is a larger conversation to be had about how quickly 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.080 things are coming to streaming, But this to me feels like, 0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:38.480 you know, the producers are like, all right, let's let's 0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:40.320 have as many people watch it as possible, so that 0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:44.040 way it cleans up the Golden Globes. But it works 0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:46.640 out in our favor at least, you know, for this week. 0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:49.239 If you are looking for something to see, you know, 0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:53.120 watch it home. During this holiday week. One Battle after 0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:56.760 another is nominated in the comedy categories at the Golden Globes, 0:22:56.840 --> 0:23:01.040 so it is like a dark comedy. Leyodocaprio is part 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:04.640 of like the resistance of you know, a ragtag group 0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:07.240 of like vigilante thro or fighting back against a little 0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:10.400 bit of a corrupt government. And Sean Penn is part 0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:13.480 of that that government, and he is like the bad guy, 0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:16.520 and he is incredible as a bad guy in this movie. 0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:20.480 But the action sequences are incredible right off the jumps. 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:21.760 They're blowing stuff up, they're. 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:24.640 Escaping in cars and robbing banks and all this kinds 0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:27.359 of stuff, and it is so fun to watch. There's 0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:29.840 a love story. There is a story of a father 0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:33.600 and a daughter that Leodocaprio does very well. And so 0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:36.600 this movie I think, you know, there's a lot to 0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:37.280 like there. 0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:40.880 I would not watch it with kids, but it is. 0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:43.679 It is a ton of fun for anyone looking for 0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:47.360 sort of an action comedy political thriller. 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:49.560 Over the Over the Break. 0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:51.520 Yeah, it's funny because there was such a polarizing move 0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:52.720 when he came out. You didn't know what to make 0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:54.679 of it, if it's an indictment of the current administration 0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:56.800 or not. And you know, but but you know, Hollywood's 0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.000 always kind of done that to get up interest and 0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:03.119 to their it worked exactly exactly. 0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:05.639 I loved watching this movie and it surprised me how 0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:06.760 funny it was too. 0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:08.320 Really good. I've heard a lot about it. 0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:11.120 I didn't hear it was a comedy though, and yeah, 0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:13.000 I mean it definitely makes me want to watch it 0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:15.800 more now, so good, I'll have something to do this weekend, 0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:16.560 you know, real quick. 0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:17.720 Not to be labeled. 0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:20.040 The point on this willgans but bringing it back to 0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:23.000 the Oscars, because you know, Golden Globes and Awards. ABC 0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:24.679 just announced they're going to move it to YouTube in 0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:28.160 twenty twenty nine. Do those award shows care the same 0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:30.240 way because all this is set up right now. One thing, Now, 0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:32.439 we're going to put that on streaming, so it's going 0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:35.120 to get more maybe Golden Globes, and it'll push into 0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:38.080 more OSCAR consideration. But if we're moving it to streaming, 0:24:38.200 --> 0:24:39.879 is that just the fact that the demographs of the 0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:43.199 eyeballs have changed from broadcast TV to the screen in 0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:45.920 your hand. Does that diminish in any way, shape or 0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:48.240 form the validity the Oscars and what that means to 0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:52.040 a filmmaker or a studio as far as revenue goes. 0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:55.280 It's a good question. I don't think so. 0:24:55.520 --> 0:24:59.400 I think that this is just the state of broadcast television, So, 0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:01.879 you know, I I think a network like ABC is 0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:03.639 probably like, all right, where do we want to be 0:25:03.680 --> 0:25:06.840 spending our you know, half a billion dollar you know 0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:10.000 whatever contract. So I think it has less to do 0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:13.280 with you know, I don't think the impact is going 0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:15.840 to be that the the prestige of the Oscar dips 0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:17.880 it all. I think it still matters, but I think 0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:20.960 that it moving to YouTube is really just a sign 0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:24.199 of like where people are watching their TV, as opposed 0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.000 to like, how much do we still care about the Oscars? 0:25:27.040 --> 0:25:30.520 I think Hollywood still desperately cares about the Oscar. 0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:34.840 Let's pivot to more small screen stuff here Stranger things 0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:36.240 is what is that? 0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:37.000 Does that drop? 0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:37.479 New Year? 0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:38.320 When does that drop? 0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:39.720 Boats? 0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:42.280 So Christmas Day is part two and then the final 0:25:42.320 --> 0:25:46.440 final episode is New Year's Eve. And so when part 0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:49.560 one of this season dropped on Thanksgiving, it broke the 0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:53.440 record as Netflix's most watched English language TV debut of 0:25:53.480 --> 0:25:57.119 all time, and it ended with a you know, a 0:25:57.160 --> 0:26:00.280 really awesome sort of cliffhanger, and we picked back up 0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:04.199 on Christmas Day right in the moments after that that cliffhanger. 0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:06.359 So I think a lot of eyes will be on 0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:09.280 it as we sort of bid farewell to this record 0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:11.399 breaking show that you know, we've been with for a 0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:14.000 decade and watching these kids grow up and all that stuff. 0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:18.680 So Christmas Day at eight pm is when part two 0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:20.200 of the final season will drop. 0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:21.960 Gotcha, all right, got time for one more thing? Well, 0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:22.480 what are you got? 0:26:23.720 --> 0:26:25.639 Emily in Paris season five, So this is on the 0:26:25.680 --> 0:26:27.399 other end of the spectrum from the first two. 0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:29.119 This is sugary sweet. 0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:31.480 It's like, you know, eating a box of chocolate. It's like, 0:26:31.600 --> 0:26:33.600 is it going to fill you and sustain you? Probably not, 0:26:33.680 --> 0:26:36.080 but it's a ton of fun while it's happening. And 0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:39.880 this is Lily Collins, who's Phil Collins' daughter, plays the lead. 0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:41.880 That the guy who created the show is the same 0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:44.639 guy who did Sex and the City, So it's that 0:26:44.760 --> 0:26:49.640 kind of vibe. Fun. Performance, is incredible costuming, beautiful scenery 0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:52.680 and stuff. They're in Rome this season, so a lot 0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:55.040 of fun, not a lot of brain power required to 0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:56.080 enjoy this. 0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:57.679 This Emily in Paris season. 0:26:57.440 --> 0:26:59.760 Five, Well, so I'm out because it's Emily in Paris. 0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:01.440 But that doesn't make any sense. 0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:05.400 Well, you know, you gotta pulled in the hoos were 0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:09.160 so wind up next season she could becoming a Cincy. 0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:11.879 I don't know Emily and Cincy. 0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:15.960 That'll be good anyway.

But whoever's writing 0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:27.080 for the White it's so good because just this week 0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:31.040 we're talking about all right, President comes out and makes 0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:34.760 the Rob Reiner assassinate well Rob Brander murder should say 0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:37.080 sassam Rob right and murder about him, like, I don't 0:28:37.080 --> 0:28:39.160 know how you do that, but did it. And I'm 0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:41.440 saying it's like, I don't know how you continue to 0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:43.840 top yourself in an age where it's awfully difficult to 0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:46.320 do that because you just can't. You just can't keep 0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:48.719 doing stuff and go Wow, that that's gonna get headlines 0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:50.880 or that's gonna upset people. And I think he's deliberately 0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:52.640 twisted the knife and a lot of this stuff for sure, 0:28:52.760 --> 0:28:56.360 especially this one. The news today about Trump is going 0:28:56.360 --> 0:28:58.800 to rename the Kennedy Center the Trump Kennedy Center, not 0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:01.640 the Kennedy Trump Center, the Trump Kennedy Center. 0:29:02.000 --> 0:29:04.200 And he said it's a big show. The game is 0:29:04.200 --> 0:29:05.240 a big surprise to me. 0:29:05.720 --> 0:29:07.320 Well, you know, you clean the board out and you 0:29:07.360 --> 0:29:10.120 put all your handpicked people on there. How big a 0:29:10.160 --> 0:29:14.400 surprise can it be? You know, it's like when you 0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:16.400 know some of these teapot nations where they have an 0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:19.400 election one hundred percent of the people voted for the 0:29:19.480 --> 0:29:21.760 guy who's been in power for the last thirty years. 0:29:21.880 --> 0:29:24.400 Same same kind of thing. I know, there are a 0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:26.080 lot of people that are upset by this and they're 0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:28.360 gnashing their teeth and I mean, it's the Kennedy Center. 0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:29.880 Okay, it's the Trump Kennedy Center. Now. 0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:32.760 It's kind of like, you know, the Gulf of America 0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:35.080 and how many people that have set it's just trolla now. 0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:37.920 It's and that to me, that's funny. 0:29:39.720 --> 0:29:41.680 Every day every day there's something that comes out and 0:29:41.720 --> 0:29:45.840 you go, wow, you continue to top yourself. I don't 0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:48.160 think that's possible. What is tomorrow going to bring? And 0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:50.120 maybe that's what it feels like because of all this 0:29:51.160 --> 0:29:53.720 polarization and anks that you know, it feels like the 0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:55.840 last year has been about four years, like, oh, yeah, 0:29:55.840 --> 0:29:57.880 we got a presidential election next year. No, we're just 0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:00.920 one year in. Like you continue to sp yourself every day. 0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:04.320 It's absolutely it's an incredible thing to watch. I don't 0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:06.240 think you're ever going to see this again in your lifetime, 0:30:06.360 --> 0:30:07.200 love it or hate it. 0:30:07.240 --> 0:30:08.160 I think that's a fact. 0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:11.440 Anyway, real quick here on the news of the Brown 0:30:11.520 --> 0:30:15.000 US for a shooter, I think, quite honestly, it is 0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:16.000 and we know this. 0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:17.840 I think in the future. 0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:22.320 It's going to be damn near impossible to get away 0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:25.000 with crime. I'm not saying crime is going away and 0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:26.880 that you know people aren't going to get away with stuff. 0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:30.320 It's gonna but man, it's it's like, for example, how 0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:35.360 they caught the Brown University shooter. This Valente guy forty 0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:37.320 eight years old. They found him dead from a self 0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:41.040 inflicted gunshot wound and a storage facility storage locker, New Hampshire. 0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:44.480 This is the guy who killed MIT professor and MIT 0:30:44.680 --> 0:30:48.240 professor and looked like you got away because the only 0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:51.000 images we saw were from that static telephone pole camera 0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:52.920 and you really couldn't make out who it was. There's 0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:54.440 a little bit of a face there, but you know, 0:30:54.440 --> 0:30:56.680 they're trying to analyze the gait and things like that, 0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:59.520 and so people are not putting stones in their shoes 0:30:59.560 --> 0:31:01.680 to throw the him off, throw us goods because they 0:31:01.760 --> 0:31:06.080 actually you know it's AI. It'll tell you pick up 0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:08.600 your gate pattern and then go through other videos to 0:31:08.600 --> 0:31:11.680 try and find someone who's walk matches at So he 0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:15.040 was caught. This is fascinating. He gets away, he takes 0:31:15.040 --> 0:31:20.800 a car. Investigtors identified the vehicle that he had rented 0:31:21.240 --> 0:31:23.800 and drove from Boston to Brown University then back to Boston, 0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:26.760 and the person who really broke this up when was 0:31:26.800 --> 0:31:30.120 posting on Reddit about the suspect's car. He told the 0:31:30.120 --> 0:31:32.480 investigators he first encountered in the bathroom in the school 0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:34.600 building about two hours for his shot, and he told 0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:38.920 investigators he recalled that the clothing was well very inadequate 0:31:38.960 --> 0:31:41.720 for the winter weather in Boston, and so then followed 0:31:41.760 --> 0:31:45.000 the suspect to a gray Nissan Center with Florida tags 0:31:45.560 --> 0:31:47.800 and that the suspect us a key fob to unlock it, 0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:49.720 then walked away and then took a left down the street. 0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:52.960 So he ran after the suspect and caught up to 0:31:53.000 --> 0:31:54.800 them and asked them, your car is back there, why 0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:57.760 are you circling back? And the guy said, I don't 0:31:57.760 --> 0:32:00.400 know you from nobody, why are you rang me? And 0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:02.680 then he ran away and they put this up on 0:32:02.760 --> 0:32:06.000 Reddit and then found the guy that's incredible. Like the 0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:07.440 other thing is too. If you saw someone who was 0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:09.680 underdressed with the weather in a bathroom, why would you 0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:12.080 follow them? I think there's got to be more to 0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:14.280 that story, like why would you go and trade track 0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:17.640 this person unless you just had that really weird sixth 0:32:17.680 --> 0:32:19.160 sense that you thought he was up to no good. 0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:19.480 I don't know. 0:32:19.520 --> 0:32:22.600 It's a crazy story for sure, but at least there's 0:32:22.600 --> 0:32:24.880 some closure there, certainly for the Family Scott Flung show. 0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:26.720 It's the Hall of the Best Bengals coverage seven hundred 0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:28.720 wwe Cincnati don't. 0:32:28.520 --> 0:32:29.880 Want to be an American? 0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:31.040 All right? 0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:33.480 Winding it down for twenty twenty five here on this 0:32:33.520 --> 0:32:35.800 Friday morning. I'm back for a couple days next week 0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:39.840 in maybe y' or not so enjoy if maybe this 0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:40.880 was the last time you get to listen to the 0:32:40.880 --> 0:32:43.200 show for the week, couple of weeks. Anyway, it's that 0:32:43.320 --> 0:32:44.880 time of the year. It's that time of the year. 0:32:45.480 --> 0:32:47.320 There's something that I've been involved with now for a 0:32:47.320 --> 0:32:49.960 few weeks. I think it's I love tech, I love 0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:52.520 fascinating things. I love things that change people's lives for 0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:54.040 the better, because God knows we need more of those 0:32:54.080 --> 0:32:56.360 stories and not fewer. And I love to highlight those 0:32:56.440 --> 0:32:58.920 kinds of things. And so you may hear may have 0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:02.040 heard me talking about the tech r n D one 0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:04.880 for those who have a mobility disability. So if you're 0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:07.000 in a wheelchair, maybe you have trouble standing or walking. 0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:10.080 You know, typically one is you look at it and go, 0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:11.640 my god, the rest of my life I'm being a 0:33:11.680 --> 0:33:13.600 wheelchair or I need a wheelchair to get around or 0:33:13.640 --> 0:33:15.120 move from point A to point B. For a lot 0:33:15.120 --> 0:33:18.080 of people, the older we are, the longer we live. 0:33:18.160 --> 0:33:20.600 That's true, but it's also true for people who suffer 0:33:20.640 --> 0:33:24.000 spinal injuries and the like. Veterans come to mind. And 0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:25.800 for a long time it's been you know, you get 0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:29.280 in a chair. You see people parking at grocery store 0:33:29.320 --> 0:33:31.160 and wherever in a handicapped spot and they have the 0:33:31.320 --> 0:33:33.960 van or a vehicle and they've got to get the 0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:36.440 cart off the back and get in it, and everything 0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:38.320 of course is you know, not at eye level, and 0:33:38.600 --> 0:33:39.959 you go to a grocery store in one of those 0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:42.200 scooters and it's tough to get stuff off the top shelf. 0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:45.440 This thing is going to change so many lives, and 0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:47.880 that's why I'm so happy to speak for my buddy 0:33:47.920 --> 0:33:50.720 Dave Bachrath for a rebound mobility dot Com. Dave, welcome 0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:51.400 and study this morning. 0:33:51.440 --> 0:33:53.880 How are you hey, Thanks Scott, and Merry Christmas to ya. 0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:54.600 I app sure you have me. 0:33:54.880 --> 0:33:55.040 Yes. 0:33:55.120 --> 0:33:56.960 I wanted to because I wanted to highlight this a 0:33:56.960 --> 0:33:59.800 little more simply because it's such a game changer. This 0:33:59.880 --> 0:34:04.320 is such an incredible development. I think for people with disabilities, 0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:06.600 our veterans come to mind, but anyone for that man, 0:34:06.640 --> 0:34:08.279 as you get older, you know, it's tough for my 0:34:08.280 --> 0:34:10.759 My father in law has difficulty getting up and getting down, 0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:13.520 and this could absolutely change so many lives. 0:34:13.760 --> 0:34:16.040 Uh describe describe how it works with the device? 0:34:16.120 --> 0:34:16.200 Is? 0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:21.160 Yeah, exactly. It's just so I've been in medical devices 0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:25.680 mobility devices for thirty years and this is the most revolutionary, 0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:31.840 game changing and rewarding product that I've ever represented because 0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:35.400 it literally changes people's lives. And I see it firsthand 0:34:35.440 --> 0:34:39.400 in their in their eyes and their family members tears 0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:42.800 when they're able to stand up the way it works. 0:34:42.960 --> 0:34:46.440 And and and also no nobody knows about this device. 0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:53.040 It really was launched in effect this year. It's been 0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:56.640 on the market before that, but very very quietly. So 0:34:57.880 --> 0:35:02.360 it is a is not a power chair. It actually 0:35:02.600 --> 0:35:07.200 so it's a robotic mobility device that you do not 0:35:07.400 --> 0:35:12.480 need your legs strength at all, any muscles or even 0:35:12.560 --> 0:35:14.279 legs at all. I have a w MPT and a 0:35:14.320 --> 0:35:18.520 single empte getting one, and I list them up to 0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:21.560 eye level like you see them up. You sit in 0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:24.800 a in the seat which is like a sling and 0:35:24.800 --> 0:35:26.960 it's almost like a window washers rig. It's a it's 0:35:27.000 --> 0:35:34.160 a well strong, padded very uh yative right swing and 0:35:34.200 --> 0:35:38.760 it has a very powerful hydraulic lift. So this seat, 0:35:38.920 --> 0:35:41.359 these two pins drop in it and then you're able 0:35:41.360 --> 0:35:45.960 to lift yourself up in be and be supportive uh 0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:47.960 in the seat itself. And then you get all the 0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:50.480 way up to eye level or whatever level you're comfortable at. 0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:53.200 And if you want to bear weight, you can bear 0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:57.640 weight to help with your bone density, and you're able 0:35:57.680 --> 0:36:00.359 to be at eye level again. And I've seen people 0:36:00.480 --> 0:36:04.800 stand for the first time in decades, and and it's amazing. 0:36:04.840 --> 0:36:07.640 There's there's a lot of misnomers about it that people 0:36:07.719 --> 0:36:09.920 just think, like, well, but but I have I have 0:36:10.040 --> 0:36:12.960 fall of risk issues. You can't fall in this. You're 0:36:13.040 --> 0:36:17.280 you're up two and fifty pounds. It's solid you. I've 0:36:17.320 --> 0:36:21.080 tried to tip it over myself and you can't. So 0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:24.560 people that that's one thing that people don't know about. 0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:27.440 They also don't know that it can be covered by insurance. 0:36:27.520 --> 0:36:30.400 It's on contract with Blue Cross, Blue Shield and we 0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:33.120 can get it covered with most providers. And it's kind 0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:36.120 of a critical time this year because we have eleven 0:36:36.200 --> 0:36:38.920 days left if deductibles are met for the price for 0:36:39.000 --> 0:36:43.080 the private insurances. But but it's an amazing device that 0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:47.799 lets you move about your home, reach work around in 0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:53.280 your kitchen. And the physiological benefits are you know, truly 0:36:54.719 --> 0:36:58.480 the reason if people are sitting, you know that you're 0:36:58.520 --> 0:37:02.920 going to have your circuit regulated, improve bowel and blacker 0:37:03.040 --> 0:37:06.239 fraction and all those benefits. But the biggest one is 0:37:06.360 --> 0:37:09.680 the mental health. Is the psychological part of being able 0:37:09.719 --> 0:37:13.520 to be upright again and look and have people eye 0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:14.919 to eye conversations. 0:37:15.120 --> 0:37:16.080 Yeah, it's the thing. 0:37:16.120 --> 0:37:18.640 It's because so this pad slips under you and it's 0:37:18.680 --> 0:37:20.040 really easy to get in a k nod of so 0:37:20.080 --> 0:37:22.160 you're sitting, Let's say you're in a chair. You can't move, 0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:24.200 you know, we use your legs, So the pad you'd 0:37:24.200 --> 0:37:26.040 slide it under your butt sort of and the s 0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:28.400 and it's soft, and then you press a button and 0:37:28.480 --> 0:37:30.600 it actually picks you up from your bottom and stands 0:37:30.600 --> 0:37:32.719 you up, and then the front of your shins would 0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:35.319 stand against these pads on the device, So it looks 0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:37.680 like a smaller, a narrower version of one of the 0:37:37.719 --> 0:37:39.920 carts you'd get a grocery store, bad rapid card, a 0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:42.319 ego car to whatever those are. Only this thing lifts 0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:43.759 you up and stands and then if you need to 0:37:43.760 --> 0:37:45.560 sit back down, you press a button and it sits 0:37:45.600 --> 0:37:47.759 you down. You take the pad off, and which means 0:37:47.760 --> 0:37:50.440 you can, you know, because it's narrow, and that's a problem. 0:37:50.480 --> 0:37:52.640 Some of the wider chairs are difficult to get in 0:37:52.640 --> 0:37:55.000 a NOD. But you can actually use the bathroom yourself 0:37:55.000 --> 0:37:56.879 if you're in a chair or you know, I said 0:37:56.920 --> 0:37:58.880 mentioned go to the grocery store and actually stand up 0:37:58.920 --> 0:38:01.080 at eye level and pick things off the shelf yourself. 0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:03.400 Like it's so incredible. 0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:08.200 The independence for bathroom functions to me is just it's 0:38:08.280 --> 0:38:11.759 huge because it's the narrowest profile you can get, like 0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:15.440 nineteen inches wide, and you're it spins around sixty So 0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:20.239 even in a small bathroom. You're able to manage and 0:38:21.000 --> 0:38:25.600 drop yourself down and then move that seat and then 0:38:25.680 --> 0:38:29.280 get yourself back up independently versus having a caregiver family 0:38:29.320 --> 0:38:29.759 member help. 0:38:29.800 --> 0:38:32.000 Yeah, because in the past, you know, you'd have to 0:38:32.040 --> 0:38:34.480 the restrooms and narrow doors, right, and an eighty compliance 0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:36.480 is thirty six inches. Well, you know there's thirty inch 0:38:36.520 --> 0:38:38.200 doors out there. This thing fits very easily. You can 0:38:38.239 --> 0:38:41.200 get in a stall and take care of yourself, right. 0:38:41.200 --> 0:38:43.280 It gives you a good and that's the mental health advantage. 0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:45.440 You don't need to depend on someone else, especially for 0:38:45.560 --> 0:38:48.160 veterans that are used to, you know, doing things themselves 0:38:48.200 --> 0:38:49.680 and being on their own and being independent. 0:38:49.960 --> 0:38:53.200 Right, It's yeah, you can be and you can do 0:38:53.239 --> 0:38:56.480 that independently, and it is covered by the VA, and 0:38:57.200 --> 0:39:01.040 the veterans won't know don't know that, the veteran providers 0:39:01.080 --> 0:39:05.520 don't know that. So it's incumbent upon the person finding 0:39:05.560 --> 0:39:08.440 this out. And that's where you know, I walk them 0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:11.120 through all the processes. And that's the biggest thing is like, 0:39:11.640 --> 0:39:13.560 don't try to figure it out yourself. You've got to 0:39:13.719 --> 0:39:19.120 use me to get you through the proper processes, whether 0:39:19.160 --> 0:39:22.719 it's through the VA, G O d it's covered you know, 0:39:22.800 --> 0:39:26.920 trike care, trike Care for life, and and also just 0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:32.799 individuals with their own insurance and and even seniors. I've 0:39:32.840 --> 0:39:37.000 had an eighty two year old veteran and he he 0:39:37.120 --> 0:39:40.400 got in it and learned it no problem, was driving 0:39:40.400 --> 0:39:43.600 around in it. And he's like, I want this because 0:39:43.640 --> 0:39:47.080 I can't take outside walks with my family and I 0:39:47.120 --> 0:39:48.759 want to keep you know, I have to stay back, 0:39:48.920 --> 0:39:50.160 and so I want to be able to go on 0:39:50.200 --> 0:39:51.919 a bike path or walking and walking. 0:39:51.960 --> 0:39:53.320 How does that work with taking that outside? 0:39:53.360 --> 0:39:55.560 Because Mark Musselo's chairs, you know, you look at it, go, well, 0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:56.600 that's for pavement only. 0:39:56.640 --> 0:39:58.719 You can't go into grass or I mean a beach 0:39:58.800 --> 0:39:59.359 or something like. 0:39:59.320 --> 0:40:02.160 That, right, And that's that's where the outdoor kit comes in. 0:40:02.239 --> 0:40:05.240 So we have an outdoor kit which is like big 0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:08.919 knobby tires, and it switches out from the indoor kit 0:40:09.160 --> 0:40:12.040 fairly easily. You can do it. Even the person in 0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:13.920 the chair can do it within five minutes. 0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:14.239 Wow. 0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:17.600 And you have these extra large tires and an extra 0:40:17.719 --> 0:40:21.480 large tail that you just just with a drop pin 0:40:21.600 --> 0:40:23.920 you take that in and out and boom you can 0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:28.640 go on you know, gravel, your grass, a beach you know, 0:40:28.719 --> 0:40:31.000 get to a like a you know cs a Key 0:40:31.040 --> 0:40:33.360 where it's hard packed beach and you can get to 0:40:33.440 --> 0:40:36.359 that and be able to and you can travel with 0:40:36.400 --> 0:40:39.759 this because it's it's a dry cell battery, so it 0:40:39.800 --> 0:40:42.960 goes on planes just like your regular mobility equipment. No 0:40:43.320 --> 0:40:46.920 extra charge for luggage or anything. They just the carget 0:40:47.000 --> 0:40:48.719 stores in the cargo hold and you can take it 0:40:48.800 --> 0:40:51.920 down to cis Key and and wheel around on the 0:40:51.960 --> 0:40:53.200 beach with your family with it. 0:40:53.280 --> 0:40:54.360 That's wild, That's it. 0:40:54.400 --> 0:40:56.200 I mean, I imagine that in the first time in years, 0:40:56.200 --> 0:40:57.960 people are in a wheelchair and all of a sudden, 0:40:58.080 --> 0:40:59.520 like I you know, I'm a beach person, I'm a 0:40:59.520 --> 0:41:02.439 surf and you can actually go and dip your your 0:41:02.480 --> 0:41:05.160 your hands, your legs into the water. It's that's incredible. 0:41:05.160 --> 0:41:07.960 You couldn't do that before. Dave Mancreth is here. It's 0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:10.920 Rebound Mobility dot com. I've been talking about this one 0:41:10.920 --> 0:41:13.920 of our partners here on the Scott Sloan Show about 0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:15.719 how and I often do this because I think there 0:41:15.800 --> 0:41:17.160 is such a special innovative thing. 0:41:17.160 --> 0:41:19.759 It's going to change so many lives. I think it's 0:41:19.800 --> 0:41:20.720 going to be one of those. 0:41:21.000 --> 0:41:22.319 You have a sense and not just because you're in 0:41:22.360 --> 0:41:23.680 a day that it's it's gonna be one of those 0:41:23.680 --> 0:41:27.200 things that in years people go wow. You know remember 0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:29.280 wheelchairs and the way you kind of like iron lungs 0:41:29.280 --> 0:41:30.600 back in the day with poli. You know, we don't 0:41:30.600 --> 0:41:33.319 have those machines anymore. Now you have these devices where 0:41:33.360 --> 0:41:36.440 you can stand literally stand up and be mobile like 0:41:36.480 --> 0:41:38.960 you did when your your legs your appendages worked. 0:41:39.320 --> 0:41:42.520 Yeah, I see where we're going to be. You could 0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:46.200 be seeing these around quite often right now, you know, 0:41:46.280 --> 0:41:50.040 you don't see them out ry new. It's brand new, 0:41:50.160 --> 0:41:52.759 and again nobody knows about it. We do have a 0:41:52.840 --> 0:41:56.480 veterans site for our veterans dot org for a veterans 0:41:56.520 --> 0:41:58.880 dot org if the veterans, but they can also use 0:41:58.880 --> 0:42:03.040 the Rebound Mobility site and that that allows you to 0:42:03.080 --> 0:42:07.960 see information and then and my contact information is on 0:42:08.040 --> 0:42:11.680 there nine three seven seven seven six seventy eight oh 0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:15.440 will seventy eight oh one for a direct contact and 0:42:15.480 --> 0:42:17.600 that's you know, twenty four to seven. You can text 0:42:17.680 --> 0:42:20.520 or call that number for more information. 0:42:21.080 --> 0:42:22.759 And how long does it take to get one of 0:42:22.800 --> 0:42:26.040 these units if you ordered one, it takes if if 0:42:26.120 --> 0:42:30.120 you're ordering and going through the insurance process and even 0:42:30.160 --> 0:42:32.840 all the veterans processes can take thirty to sixty days. 0:42:33.719 --> 0:42:36.880 But some people who can do a self pay and 0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:39.920 can they can pay for it and then work through 0:42:39.960 --> 0:42:42.320 their insurance and get that money back to their insurance 0:42:42.320 --> 0:42:44.239 so they don't have to wait, so they can have 0:42:44.320 --> 0:42:47.120 it within two weeks if they're going to just they 0:42:47.120 --> 0:42:49.800 want to put it on AMEX, get their points for 0:42:49.960 --> 0:42:53.440 whatever right, and then then they can have the receipt 0:42:53.520 --> 0:42:55.840 and then they work through and help us. So we 0:42:55.880 --> 0:42:59.120 have an insurance team they will help us battle to 0:42:59.160 --> 0:43:03.399 get that insures coverage, which most of the time they do. 0:43:03.600 --> 0:43:06.080 It's a pretty high rate of success, especially when the 0:43:06.160 --> 0:43:09.800 patient gets involved and so they get that check remburse 0:43:09.920 --> 0:43:11.960 and then and a lot of people do that, they 0:43:12.440 --> 0:43:17.000 put it on a credit card. The company Matiam Mobility 0:43:17.040 --> 0:43:18.880 also has a couple of financing options. 0:43:19.040 --> 0:43:21.759 Is there are they made where they made where manufacturing 0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:22.839 Salt Lake City? 0:43:23.000 --> 0:43:25.000 Oh wow, they made the US.

They're they're custom built for that person's size. 0:43:35.880 --> 0:43:40.000 So there's measurements that I take or make sure they're 0:43:40.000 --> 0:43:43.960 taken by a provider like a pt O T and 0:43:44.200 --> 0:43:47.040 so it fits and it hits you in the right 0:43:47.080 --> 0:43:51.879 part of your body anywhere, right, anywhere from a four 0:43:51.880 --> 0:43:54.799 foot seven person. I have eleven year old muscular disc 0:43:54.840 --> 0:44:00.000 free kid getting his delivering it to him on Christmas. 0:44:01.080 --> 0:44:03.319 So it's going to be a Christmas present. Yeah, eleven 0:44:03.400 --> 0:44:05.640 year old mustard disc fee. He can't wait and he 0:44:05.800 --> 0:44:08.840 tools around on it like like he's had it forever. 0:44:09.440 --> 0:44:10.960 When I did, Oh, I demoed one, and it's like, 0:44:11.000 --> 0:44:12.279 you know, within a couple of minutes, you kind of 0:44:12.280 --> 0:44:13.240 get used to the controls. 0:44:13.320 --> 0:44:16.040 It's it's really cool. And it was like the battery 0:44:16.040 --> 0:44:17.400 in this thing last how long. 0:44:18.320 --> 0:44:23.160 A full day? Nine miles that's a lot. Yeah, so 0:44:23.200 --> 0:44:27.279 you can go you can go cruise around on a 0:44:27.320 --> 0:44:30.360 full charge, you know, on a bike path or outside 0:44:31.000 --> 0:44:34.239 or on a beach for quite a while. So the 0:44:34.400 --> 0:44:37.000 charge and it only takes about two three hours to 0:44:37.040 --> 0:44:43.440 get up to a full charge. Yeah, it's it is 0:44:44.080 --> 0:44:50.440 again just so rewarding to to see I haven't I 0:44:50.480 --> 0:44:54.160 haven't actually done an in person demo with someone who 0:44:54.760 --> 0:44:57.480 didn't get the unit or didn't start to process to 0:44:57.520 --> 0:45:00.560 get the unit, and so that's something and I offer 0:45:00.640 --> 0:45:06.480 too because you're looking if it's something you could just 0:45:06.920 --> 0:45:09.759 buy online, we'd put on Amazon, and or. 0:45:09.880 --> 0:45:12.840 Because it has to be custom and custal insurance and 0:45:12.880 --> 0:45:15.560 everything else too. But yeah, I mean if you know 0:45:15.600 --> 0:45:17.600 someone a neighbor, friend, family, me or co or whoever, 0:45:17.600 --> 0:45:19.120 it is a good benefit from this that so I 0:45:19.120 --> 0:45:20.480 wanted to have you on and get the word out 0:45:20.520 --> 0:45:22.600 because I really think this is this is one of 0:45:22.640 --> 0:45:24.640 those devices. Once in a while, something comes along that 0:45:24.640 --> 0:45:27.840 absolutely changes people's lives for the better. And in the 0:45:27.880 --> 0:45:31.920 age we're living longer, maybe not better, but longer, it's 0:45:31.960 --> 0:45:33.640 incumbent to get the word out I think for stuff 0:45:33.680 --> 0:45:35.160 like this, going hey, this is going to improve your 0:45:35.160 --> 0:45:37.279 mental health, which is a huge component. But physically you 0:45:37.320 --> 0:45:40.520 mentioned bone density, bowels, all that stuff. I mean, imagine 0:45:40.520 --> 0:45:42.320 you know, you have your house. Let's say you're in 0:45:42.360 --> 0:45:44.920 a chair and everything's built for people who stand up, 0:45:44.960 --> 0:45:48.799 you know, cupboards, cabinets, refrigerators, and you with so much 0:45:48.800 --> 0:45:51.440 in life because you're seated, and now you don't have 0:45:51.480 --> 0:45:53.120 to change all that. You can actually stand up in 0:45:53.160 --> 0:45:54.960 your house and get things off the top shelf like 0:45:54.960 --> 0:45:57.160 you used to, and the machine does it all and 0:45:57.200 --> 0:45:59.200 you're able to navigate your hallways and stay in your 0:45:59.200 --> 0:46:00.840 own house. I mean the past people to have to 0:46:00.880 --> 0:46:03.480 move to assisted living or something like that. This keeps 0:46:03.520 --> 0:46:06.480 people in our houses longer, whether it's veterans or people 0:46:06.480 --> 0:46:08.319 with disabilities, but also seniors too. I think you're going 0:46:08.400 --> 0:46:10.960 to see more people who their legs work. But you know, 0:46:11.120 --> 0:46:12.799 I mean the older we get, the longer we live, 0:46:12.840 --> 0:46:14.040 it's going to be harder to get around. 0:46:14.040 --> 0:46:14.920 This is for them. 0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:18.040 Right in the and the seniors now are just more 0:46:18.080 --> 0:46:21.239 active seniors, you know, wanting to be outside, wanting to 0:46:21.239 --> 0:46:25.439 be independent, and and this you know, will allow them 0:46:25.480 --> 0:46:28.759 to you know, stay that way and you know, take 0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:31.600 the outside, get to the fresh air, take a walk. 0:46:31.680 --> 0:46:31.840 You know. 0:46:31.880 --> 0:46:35.480 I you can avoid the home rebuilds on that. But 0:46:35.560 --> 0:46:37.640 I even have someone getting one that had the home 0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:41.640 rebuild done, but he's getting it for the outdoors part 0:46:41.680 --> 0:46:46.160 of it the package. So he saw that there's enough 0:46:46.160 --> 0:46:48.520 benefit in that. So it's going to be you know, 0:46:48.520 --> 0:46:52.520 there's gonna be something for everybody that maybe if they're 0:46:52.680 --> 0:46:55.160 they've lost mobility, maybe they can walk a little bit, 0:46:55.520 --> 0:46:57.160 but they just can't go very far. It's going to 0:46:57.160 --> 0:47:00.640 help them with that. And we're also partnered with uh 0:47:00.960 --> 0:47:03.919 Tie Bradshaw with the knuxs All Foundation, where we're doing 0:47:05.320 --> 0:47:10.719 for people who here and refer uh a patient. It 0:47:10.719 --> 0:47:13.440 doesn't have to be for yourself, but a referral a 0:47:13.440 --> 0:47:16.439 two thousand dollars donation to the knuxts All Foundation because 0:47:16.440 --> 0:47:19.160 they're dealing with disabilities, and they're trying to build that 0:47:19.239 --> 0:47:20.680 indoor center, right so. 0:47:20.840 --> 0:47:24.200 Oh good love to sell the community with that. That's amazing. 0:47:24.320 --> 0:47:26.239 So yeah, portion proceeds go there as well. 0:47:26.320 --> 0:47:28.080 And I know that, you know, we've we hit the 0:47:28.160 --> 0:47:30.440 veterans thing too, and I want to say that, you know, 0:47:30.560 --> 0:47:32.760 as we get the word out about this, this game changer. 0:47:33.000 --> 0:47:34.719 Steve Bolso is my buddy. He comes in once a 0:47:34.719 --> 0:47:37.080 month from Claremont County for our veterans services. And I 0:47:37.120 --> 0:47:38.800 was talking to him. I'm like, hey, I showed, I 0:47:38.840 --> 0:47:40.799 showed him a video and you know, showed and he 0:47:40.960 --> 0:47:43.120 was he was over the top excited to spread the 0:47:43.160 --> 0:47:45.359 word to veterans because I know a handful of people 0:47:45.400 --> 0:47:47.960 already that would jump at the chance for something like this. 0:47:48.200 --> 0:47:50.040 So you know, you get the word out there, especially 0:47:50.040 --> 0:47:52.400 to our veterans in the VA and you know the 0:47:52.440 --> 0:47:54.799 v AL take careful pay for it. That that's gonna 0:47:54.800 --> 0:47:57.120 be great for veterans and and anyone else listening for 0:47:57.160 --> 0:48:00.360 that matter. So again, the website is Rebound will Ability 0:48:00.400 --> 0:48:03.520 dot com, Rebound Mobility dot com. Dave Bachrath and Matt 0:48:03.560 --> 0:48:06.440 McCool is a Cincinnati represents.

And 0:48:21.760 --> 0:48:24.360 this can be one of those products that are featured 0:48:24.360 --> 0:48:27.320 in the future. Is a turning point when it comes 0:48:27.320 --> 0:48:29.879 to helping people with disabilities navigate life. 0:48:29.920 --> 0:48:32.239 They appreciate it. Thanks again for coming in, Thanks for 0:48:32.239 --> 0:48:33.080 having me all right. 0:48:32.960 --> 0:48:35.239 All of those against Rebound Mobility dot Com is the 0:48:35.239 --> 0:48:37.320 website if you want to check that out. And maybe 0:48:37.760 --> 0:48:39.479 not someone in your family, but we all know someone 0:48:39.480 --> 0:48:42.040 who may have a friend of family member, neighbor, the 0:48:42.200 --> 0:48:44.719 son of a coworker, the daughter of a someone he 0:48:44.800 --> 0:48:46.359 went to school with, and go, man, I wonder if 0:48:46.360 --> 0:48:48.520 they know about this and maybe share that link with 0:48:48.600 --> 0:48:50.440 them at rebound mobility dot com. Anyway, I got to 0:48:50.440 --> 0:48:51.880 get a time out in News on the way. In 0:48:51.960 --> 0:48:54.600 just minutes, Austin jumps in. We talk about the Bengals 0:48:54.600 --> 0:48:57.000 in Miami, A fruitless effort. What the hell are they 0:48:57.080 --> 0:48:59.360 playing for? Well, it's sunny weather, so at least you 0:48:59.400 --> 0:49:01.160 get to go and then enjoy that as well. Who 0:49:01.200 --> 0:49:03.239 should have remain on the Bengals for twenty twenty six 0:49:03.320 --> 0:49:06.000 is the question? Maybe they'll be somewhat answered in Sunday's game. 0:49:06.080 --> 0:49:08.080 Talk to Austin about that and more coming up next 0:49:08.200 --> 0:49:15.480 on seven hundred WW. Here we go, It's Friday morning, 0:49:15.480 --> 0:49:19.600 Scott Sloan. Last segment with this guy for the twenty 0:49:19.680 --> 0:49:23.640 twenty five campaign for sure, Who knows, maybe the last 0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:26.200 segment forever. We just we don't know. It's week to week. 0:49:26.640 --> 0:49:28.600 Much like a NFL player at this time of year, 0:49:28.640 --> 0:49:31.040 it's week to week. Austin Elmosey, our buddy from ESPN 0:49:31.040 --> 0:49:33.600 fifteen thirty. He and Tony Pike at noon today on 0:49:33.719 --> 0:49:36.439 said station, shoppable sports head of the weekend here too, 0:49:37.000 --> 0:49:38.520 and we begin with what what. 0:49:38.480 --> 0:49:40.000 Do we should what should we begin with? 0:49:40.880 --> 0:49:45.040 I don't know, how about the last ten days fourteen 0:49:45.120 --> 0:49:48.920 days have felt like three months, really, yeah, especially when 0:49:48.920 --> 0:49:50.600 you look at it through the eyes and lens of 0:49:50.640 --> 0:49:51.319 the Bengals. 0:49:51.560 --> 0:49:54.800 Well we begin there, of course, two Bengals at Miami 0:49:54.840 --> 0:49:58.719 this weekend, going from subzero temperatures to mid eighties. There's 0:49:58.760 --> 0:50:01.920 that shock as well. And I guess one may ask, Okay, 0:50:01.920 --> 0:50:03.840 three games left, we want to run the table, we 0:50:03.880 --> 0:50:06.759 want an grede. It's just auditioning guys for next year, right, 0:50:07.320 --> 0:50:10.520 I asked, This is a Dan horde. I'll ask it 0:50:10.560 --> 0:50:14.799 of you outside of a handful of players, now, I'll 0:50:14.840 --> 0:50:18.759 be generous Here, DJ Turner obviously, Here i'd say bj Hill, 0:50:18.760 --> 0:50:21.320 Miles Murphy turned a corner. It looks seems like anyway, 0:50:21.560 --> 0:50:24.279 Jamar Stewart's a rookie, banged up rookie at that missed 0:50:24.280 --> 0:50:26.280 a bunch of games. Small sample size there. But outside 0:50:26.280 --> 0:50:27.960 of those guys, or maybe you disagree with any of 0:50:28.040 --> 0:50:31.160 those who comes back next year, who do you build around? 0:50:31.880 --> 0:50:32.720 It's a great question. 0:50:32.920 --> 0:50:34.839 I don't know that there are you know, I feel 0:50:34.880 --> 0:50:40.080 like there's been minimal improvement from Demetrius Knight Junior over 0:50:40.120 --> 0:50:43.440 the course of the last six or seven weeks. Barrett 0:50:43.440 --> 0:50:46.720 Carter hasn't been as atrocious as he was at the beginning, 0:50:46.760 --> 0:50:50.040 but that's still a really very low bar. I think 0:50:50.080 --> 0:50:52.759 they're going to have to revisit the linebacker position, both 0:50:52.760 --> 0:50:56.640 in free agency and in the draft. Jordan Battle I like, 0:50:57.120 --> 0:50:59.560 and I think there's a role for Jordan Battle, but 0:50:59.719 --> 0:51:01.640 I don't that there's a role for Jordan Battle when 0:51:01.640 --> 0:51:03.760 he's playing next to the worst safety in the NFL 0:51:04.000 --> 0:51:07.400 and with other guys on the team that on the 0:51:07.440 --> 0:51:10.120 defense that that aren't as good. I think you can 0:51:10.200 --> 0:51:13.359 live with Jordan when there are better players around him, 0:51:13.400 --> 0:51:16.000 not when he's being forced to do as much. So 0:51:16.040 --> 0:51:17.960 I think there are a couple of guys, but I 0:51:18.400 --> 0:51:21.439 think there's one or two shoe ins, and that would 0:51:21.480 --> 0:51:24.440 be DJ Turner and obviously Shamar Stewart, just because he's 0:51:24.440 --> 0:51:26.440 played so little. It's it's way too early, and I 0:51:26.480 --> 0:51:30.399 think Miles Murphy has done enough to justify being something now. 0:51:30.719 --> 0:51:32.160 The other one you could take a look at is 0:51:32.239 --> 0:51:35.200 Joseph Osai, who for two years in a row has 0:51:35.440 --> 0:51:38.400 kind of been up into the right and he's probably 0:51:38.440 --> 0:51:40.640 going to be looking at a fifteen to sixteen million 0:51:40.680 --> 0:51:44.520 dollars deal on the open market. Is that something you'd 0:51:44.520 --> 0:51:47.120 be willing to invest in, assuming you're not going to 0:51:47.120 --> 0:51:52.400 be bringing Trey Hendrickson back, And that's ultimately is I 0:51:52.400 --> 0:51:52.959 don't know if. 0:51:52.880 --> 0:51:54.160 It is a four conclusion. 0:51:54.200 --> 0:51:56.560 I think that's going to be another conversation that crops 0:51:56.640 --> 0:52:01.520 up in again in the stream. It's possible, Yeah, it's possible. 0:52:01.719 --> 0:52:04.279 I don't know right now. I don't like posible right now. 0:52:04.320 --> 0:52:06.719 I don't think it's it's likely, but I do think 0:52:06.719 --> 0:52:09.680 it's possible. Okay, And if they were to do something 0:52:09.719 --> 0:52:12.680 like that, would that would be the first indicator that 0:52:12.719 --> 0:52:14.920 they have no idea what they're doing this offseason. 0:52:15.560 --> 0:52:17.759 Well, we'll just run it back, which they're good at doing. 0:52:17.880 --> 0:52:19.440 And you mentioned, okay, we're gonna get some guys in 0:52:19.480 --> 0:52:22.160 the draft that's not gone well for them defensively. 0:52:22.640 --> 0:52:25.880 Yeah, I mean, the plan on paper has been we 0:52:25.920 --> 0:52:28.440 are going to spend our top one hundred draft picks 0:52:28.480 --> 0:52:32.359 on young defenders and develop them. Well, it just now 0:52:32.640 --> 0:52:35.439 has started to click for Miles Murphy. It hasn't really 0:52:35.440 --> 0:52:38.239 clicked for anyone else other than DJ Turner, and you 0:52:38.360 --> 0:52:41.480 cannot wait that long for it to click for these guys. 0:52:41.480 --> 0:52:43.719 It's not clicking for Carter, it's not clicking for Night, 0:52:44.120 --> 0:52:46.600 it's not clicking for for Dax Hill. He's been okay, 0:52:46.640 --> 0:52:48.719 but still not entirely clicking for him, and he's coming 0:52:48.719 --> 0:52:49.440 off knee injury. 0:52:49.480 --> 0:52:49.880 I get it. 0:52:50.440 --> 0:52:54.240 So they're gonna have to supplement that defense with guys 0:52:54.480 --> 0:52:57.840 in free agency, veteran presence, guys that it might be 0:52:57.880 --> 0:53:00.200 looking for a mid level second contract much it's like 0:53:00.239 --> 0:53:02.840 they got Trey Hendrickson on in that twenty twenty one offseason. 0:53:03.600 --> 0:53:05.520 I think that's the type of player they're gonna have 0:53:05.560 --> 0:53:08.080 to be looking for again this year to help those 0:53:08.120 --> 0:53:09.520 young players develop as well. 0:53:09.600 --> 0:53:11.359 Yeah, Austin, I look at that. Go okay, well, we'll 0:53:11.400 --> 0:53:12.240 fix the defense. 0:53:13.719 --> 0:53:16.760 Offense obviously set for the for the short to medium 0:53:16.840 --> 0:53:20.680 term here with the arguably the best receiver quarterback combination 0:53:20.719 --> 0:53:22.840 of the National Football League, and it's a crime that 0:53:22.920 --> 0:53:25.080 you can't go to the playoffs and win with with 0:53:25.080 --> 0:53:27.520 with that, do you think this is like a turning 0:53:27.520 --> 0:53:29.560 point now for the franchise when it seems like we've 0:53:29.560 --> 0:53:31.400 had a lot of turning points and sense that Okay, 0:53:32.840 --> 0:53:35.040 you've got Joe Burrow his prime right now, you're not 0:53:35.040 --> 0:53:37.080 gonna make the playoffs for the third straight year. At 0:53:37.080 --> 0:53:40.000 this point, you're going to I don't know, at this 0:53:40.040 --> 0:53:41.880 point a lot of teams would have moved on from 0:53:41.920 --> 0:53:44.440 Zach Taytlor and maybe Duke Tobin and that's still a possibility. 0:53:44.480 --> 0:53:46.360 And you know, Bengals are not going to pay a 0:53:46.400 --> 0:53:49.200 guy not to participate. We know the history of that. 0:53:49.200 --> 0:53:52.240 That to me seems like that's not really fan friendly. 0:53:53.640 --> 0:53:55.839 The seatgate plays into that a little bit, but there 0:53:55.840 --> 0:53:57.960 seems to be in here in Cincinnati. Every time you 0:53:58.040 --> 0:54:01.239 have a micro tran aggression like that were then cleaning 0:54:01.280 --> 0:54:05.480 the seats off. It's amplified tenfold because of the stereotype 0:54:05.480 --> 0:54:07.239 that the team is cheap, and you can make a 0:54:07.239 --> 0:54:09.319 case that they are. That's not a good look for 0:54:09.360 --> 0:54:11.440 them if they don't hit it out of the park 0:54:12.160 --> 0:54:14.760 they do you think they realized just what's at stake 0:54:14.800 --> 0:54:15.880 here for there. 0:54:15.960 --> 0:54:19.160 The way I described it yesterday on the show is 0:54:19.200 --> 0:54:21.440 that they are at a crossroads. But they've been at 0:54:21.440 --> 0:54:23.920 this intersection before many times, and the best way to 0:54:23.960 --> 0:54:27.560 describe it, and most I think only once really is 0:54:28.000 --> 0:54:31.080 the season following Burrow's rookie year, so they had just 0:54:31.120 --> 0:54:33.760 gotten out of COVID. Burrow had a season ending injury. 0:54:34.000 --> 0:54:37.160 They won four games. Now they won two of those 0:54:37.239 --> 0:54:39.560 last three games. They didn't really matter, but we always 0:54:39.600 --> 0:54:42.880 point towards that Steelers game that season as a turning 0:54:42.920 --> 0:54:47.080 point for a culture building win. And that off season 0:54:47.280 --> 0:54:50.520 they had about sixty million dollars to spend. They signed 0:54:50.640 --> 0:54:56.280 Cheeahay Woozier, Trey Hendrickson, Mike Hilton, Larry Ogunjobi Riley, reef 0:54:56.520 --> 0:55:00.880 Eli Apple, They traded for bj Hill, they extended Sam Hubbard. 0:55:01.120 --> 0:55:03.960 They made all the right moves that offseason and built 0:55:03.960 --> 0:55:06.040 that into a team in twenty twenty one that went to. 0:55:05.960 --> 0:55:06.520 The Super Bowl. 0:55:07.160 --> 0:55:10.920 This year, they have sixty million dollars in cap space. 0:55:11.000 --> 0:55:13.040 Actually a little bit more, especially if you do some 0:55:13.120 --> 0:55:15.759 veteran cuts, you could be looking at eighty million. That's 0:55:15.840 --> 0:55:19.520 more than enough to go after and aggressively pursue a 0:55:19.680 --> 0:55:23.120 draft class or a free agent class that can fill 0:55:23.160 --> 0:55:25.319 a lot of the same needs that you had just 0:55:25.360 --> 0:55:27.160 a few years ago in twenty twenty one. Now, I'm 0:55:27.160 --> 0:55:28.760 not saying they're gonna go back to the Super Bowl. 0:55:28.680 --> 0:55:29.839 Last time he did. But the point was the last 0:55:29.840 --> 0:55:31.560 time he did it, he would have the Super Bowl. Yeah, 0:55:31.800 --> 0:55:32.200 why is it? 0:55:32.440 --> 0:55:35.680 The point is, like, you know you can do that, 0:55:36.280 --> 0:55:38.160 and so you sign those guys for three or four 0:55:38.239 --> 0:55:40.320 year deals and then the plan is get young players 0:55:40.320 --> 0:55:42.719 in there and surround them so that you can kind 0:55:42.719 --> 0:55:45.560 of keep repeating it. The draft has failed them. So 0:55:45.719 --> 0:55:49.080 if your draft strategy hasn't changed, and if it should, 0:55:49.560 --> 0:55:52.399 but you now have. And I know we all want 0:55:52.400 --> 0:55:54.960 to talk crap about the way the Bengals do contracts, 0:55:55.400 --> 0:55:58.520 but they have set themselves up very nicely to where 0:55:58.520 --> 0:56:00.759 they have very little dead cap and they have a 0:56:00.760 --> 0:56:03.400 ton of cap space even though they've signed Joe Burrow 0:56:03.400 --> 0:56:05.680 and Jamar Chase and t Higgins the long term extensions. 0:56:06.080 --> 0:56:08.719 One of the biggest narratives out there that is complete 0:56:08.800 --> 0:56:11.880 one hundred percent BS is that the Bengals don't have 0:56:11.960 --> 0:56:14.360 money to spend because they sign those players to deals. 0:56:14.680 --> 0:56:17.400 That's not true. They have plenty of money. 0:56:17.600 --> 0:56:20.719 And if Joe Burrow restructures this deal like most quarterbacks do, 0:56:21.280 --> 0:56:25.560 that can jump even further right away. Okay, so they've 0:56:25.560 --> 0:56:27.879 done it before. The plan is right there in front 0:56:27.880 --> 0:56:30.160 of them. I don't expect them to hit on every 0:56:30.200 --> 0:56:32.880 single free agent that they signed. No team does, and 0:56:32.920 --> 0:56:34.680 the Bengals have had their share of misses over the 0:56:34.719 --> 0:56:37.200 last couple of years, guys like Sheldon Rankins for example, 0:56:37.280 --> 0:56:42.759 last year. But the culture was certainly affected by those 0:56:42.800 --> 0:56:44.920 wins at the end of twenty twenty going into twenty 0:56:44.920 --> 0:56:48.280 twenty one. But it was really curated in free agency 0:56:48.320 --> 0:56:51.320 that offseason. They can do this. They've done it before, 0:56:51.480 --> 0:56:52.839 They're going to have to do it again. I have 0:56:52.840 --> 0:56:53.320 no choice. 0:56:53.560 --> 0:56:55.560 And if they can't pull this off and we sit 0:56:55.640 --> 0:56:57.960 there a year from now Austin have the same conversation, 0:56:58.800 --> 0:57:00.160 what then. 0:57:00.360 --> 0:57:02.040 Yeah, it's it's a good question. 0:57:02.400 --> 0:57:05.280 I think you would probably see the end of Zach Taylor, 0:57:05.960 --> 0:57:10.320 and I think it would be a very very loud. 0:57:10.920 --> 0:57:13.719 I wouldn't be surprised if Joe Burrow said it would 0:57:13.760 --> 0:57:16.800 be a very loud outcry from the locker room and 0:57:16.840 --> 0:57:20.200 specifically Joe. I don't think that Joe right now is 0:57:21.120 --> 0:57:23.720 in danger of leaving. I don't think anything he said 0:57:23.720 --> 0:57:26.720 over the last couple of weeks is I don't like Zach, 0:57:26.880 --> 0:57:29.440 I don't like Mike Brown, I don't like being here. 0:57:29.480 --> 0:57:33.000 I think it is frustration with the fact that there 0:57:33.080 --> 0:57:36.160 hasn't been enough growth over the last couple of years, 0:57:36.240 --> 0:57:38.520 and he hasn't felt like he has any control over 0:57:38.560 --> 0:57:41.000 it because of the injury that he had this year, right, right, 0:57:41.000 --> 0:57:42.840 And that's the other key is keeping him healthy and 0:57:43.000 --> 0:57:44.600 is the big question for next season. We can't do 0:57:44.640 --> 0:57:46.640 this every year where he's down for a number of games. 0:57:46.640 --> 0:57:49.240 And you know, we've had that track record where yeah. 0:57:49.520 --> 0:57:51.160 Again, if you go back, like the twenty one and 0:57:51.200 --> 0:57:53.440 twenty two seasons were really really good, and the twenty 0:57:53.440 --> 0:57:55.800 two team was really good. But you go to twenty 0:57:55.880 --> 0:57:58.720 three and I think Zach and it mostly got a 0:57:58.800 --> 0:58:01.280 pass because Burrow had that freak injury. They were pretty 0:58:01.320 --> 0:58:03.479 good at the time, but he had that freak injury. Okay, 0:58:03.520 --> 0:58:05.360 you missed the playoffs, but they were still right there 0:58:05.360 --> 0:58:08.000 and it was close. Twenty twenty four, there's no excuse. 0:58:08.320 --> 0:58:11.360 I mean, the best season ever by a Bengals quarterbacks 0:58:11.400 --> 0:58:15.720 and the defense just leitm And this offseason the Bengals said, oh, 0:58:15.760 --> 0:58:16.680 we just got unlucky. 0:58:16.720 --> 0:58:17.680 We'll get better this year. 0:58:17.760 --> 0:58:18.000 Well. 0:58:18.360 --> 0:58:20.919 The other thing too, is they said that it's Louis 0:58:20.920 --> 0:58:23.440 at Rumo's fault and we're gonna develop these young players. Okay, 0:58:23.440 --> 0:58:26.160 so Sam Hubbard's not taking snaps anymore, Von Bell's not 0:58:26.200 --> 0:58:29.080 taking snaps. Jermaine Pratt's not taking snaps. Logan Wilson's not 0:58:29.120 --> 0:58:31.439 taking snaps. They got rid of all those veteran guys 0:58:31.440 --> 0:58:33.720 to bring in the young dudes, and it got worse. 0:58:34.280 --> 0:58:38.640 And so clearly you can't go blame the defensive coordinator. Again, 0:58:38.840 --> 0:58:41.240 you can't blame the head coach, especially if you're gonna 0:58:41.240 --> 0:58:42.920 sign him to an extension and he staw has two 0:58:43.000 --> 0:58:45.320 years left on his deal. It's not Joe Burrow's fault. 0:58:45.840 --> 0:58:48.960 The injuries was kind of a freak thing. It falls 0:58:48.960 --> 0:58:52.120 on the organization to say, Okay, we can't just rely 0:58:52.240 --> 0:58:54.120 on the draft anymore. We've got to go spend some 0:58:54.160 --> 0:58:55.720 money and fix this right. And you wonder if they 0:58:55.800 --> 0:58:57.720 hear that, If that's heard or not, we'll find out here. 0:58:57.760 --> 0:59:00.200 And sure, of course, also going after free agent, to 0:59:00.320 --> 0:59:02.040 which they've been reluctant to do that. One time they 0:59:02.080 --> 0:59:04.120 did it is they got success. I don't know why 0:59:04.120 --> 0:59:05.320 you wouldn't do more of that. 0:59:05.920 --> 0:59:07.240 Well, they've they've spent money. 0:59:07.240 --> 0:59:09.240 They've spent a lot of money in free agency over 0:59:09.240 --> 0:59:11.400 the last couple of years, they haven't hit on them 0:59:11.440 --> 0:59:14.480 as much, but they haven't been as aggressive because they 0:59:14.520 --> 0:59:17.200 have been counting on those young players. Right, And now 0:59:17.240 --> 0:59:19.040 that you are able to call a space a spade 0:59:19.040 --> 0:59:21.360 on a lot of those guys you just mentioned it 0:59:21.640 --> 0:59:24.960 to me, clarifies what the plan should be moving forward. 0:59:25.000 --> 0:59:26.800 And you know the other thing that's interesting about that 0:59:26.880 --> 0:59:29.919 twenty twenty Following the twenty twenty season, going into twenty one, 0:59:30.240 --> 0:59:32.560 they had sixty million dollars to spend. They ended up 0:59:32.600 --> 0:59:35.400 spending fifty six and a half of it, so they 0:59:35.440 --> 0:59:38.200 had like three point eight million dollars in cap space. 0:59:39.040 --> 0:59:42.960 That was like an aggressive spend by the Bengals. They 0:59:42.960 --> 0:59:44.600 can do that again. I hope they do. 0:59:44.800 --> 0:59:47.240 Yeah, all right, we'll find out again Sunday. It's in Miami. 0:59:47.280 --> 0:59:49.480 No Tua, by the way, he has been benched in favor. 0:59:49.720 --> 0:59:53.440 Unfortunate. Unfortunate for the Bengals. You know, I look at it. 0:59:53.440 --> 0:59:55.280 I was asking Dan about this too, and said, I know, 0:59:55.320 --> 0:59:57.000 I'd rather have two in there one more game, because 0:59:57.000 --> 0:59:57.880 you know what you're getting with him. 0:59:57.920 --> 0:59:59.480 You know, now you got a rookie with something to prove. 0:59:59.520 --> 1:00:00.080 A seventh I. 1:00:02.840 --> 1:00:04.920 Mean, they both probably stink, but at least you know 1:00:04.960 --> 1:00:06.320 what to it is. I mean, they don't call it 1:00:06.360 --> 1:00:07.960 to it turned the ball over for no reason? 1:00:09.440 --> 1:00:09.880 Fifteen. 1:00:10.000 --> 1:00:12.720 Yeah, he's terrible. It's awful. Talk about a guy went 1:00:12.720 --> 1:00:16.720 off the rails there. They also cut Matthew Judon. They're 1:00:16.720 --> 1:00:19.120 an evaluation man. Yeah, all the Bengals are too. Two 1:00:19.160 --> 1:00:20.200 teams looking to evaluate. 1:00:20.240 --> 1:00:23.440 But do you where do you stand on tank for 1:00:23.520 --> 1:00:25.840 a draft pick and try to win football games? I 1:00:25.840 --> 1:00:27.760 don't think you do it. I just I don't think 1:00:27.760 --> 1:00:29.400 you do either. I don't think unless you're tanking for 1:00:29.440 --> 1:00:31.160 a quarterback, it doesn't matter. Yeah, I mean if it 1:00:31.280 --> 1:00:33.600 comes down the last game, all right. And I have 1:00:34.120 --> 1:00:37.240 not like, like dove into all the draft picks yet, 1:00:37.880 --> 1:00:39.960 but I don't think there's a huge difference in the 1:00:39.960 --> 1:00:42.200 type of player you get between pick number eight and 1:00:42.240 --> 1:00:43.480 pick number sixteen this year. 1:00:43.920 --> 1:00:45.320 If you tried to get Joe Burrow back in the 1:00:45.360 --> 1:00:47.720 lineup for a season, that's a wash. Yeah, why would 1:00:47.760 --> 1:00:50.280 you do that if you also want to? We also 1:00:50.320 --> 1:00:52.240 know that the final three games matter, you know if 1:00:52.240 --> 1:00:54.280 Paul Danner Junior wrote about that this week. With the 1:00:54.320 --> 1:00:57.080 extension at Zach Taylor, and there's a history of the 1:00:57.080 --> 1:01:01.040 final games of the season matter for this organization. So 1:01:01.080 --> 1:01:04.160 as far as I'm concerned, if you want to say 1:01:04.200 --> 1:01:06.080 that you have a standard and you want to uphold 1:01:06.120 --> 1:01:10.840 that standard, winning matters, and winning and culture building wins 1:01:10.880 --> 1:01:13.640 even against teams that may not be as competitive, matter, 1:01:14.160 --> 1:01:16.120 and I think it matters to people like Joe Burrow, 1:01:16.200 --> 1:01:17.520 and I think it matters to Zach Taylor. 1:01:17.600 --> 1:01:18.400 Yeah. 1:01:18.600 --> 1:01:20.760 Yeah, it's a different field this year for sure. I mean, 1:01:21.040 --> 1:01:24.040 last week watched Pat Mahomes go down with a season 1:01:24.120 --> 1:01:26.200 ending injury. Man maybe back when the start of next season, 1:01:26.200 --> 1:01:28.240 depending on the saverat of it. And now there's rumors 1:01:28.240 --> 1:01:30.520 again as there as everyone with Travis Kelsey maybe retiring. 1:01:30.560 --> 1:01:33.480 It feels like it's over for Casey. Yeah, it does. 1:01:33.600 --> 1:01:35.040 I mean I don't. 1:01:35.240 --> 1:01:37.760 And they go into the next offseason I think forty 1:01:37.760 --> 1:01:40.720 four million dollars over the cap, so they're gonna have 1:01:40.760 --> 1:01:43.480 to make some tough decisions. They're gonna probably cut Jawan Taylor, 1:01:43.680 --> 1:01:46.120 Mahomes will probably restructure his deal, but there's gonna be 1:01:46.160 --> 1:01:48.520 some guys that are walking away from that football team, 1:01:48.520 --> 1:01:50.840 and they're gonna have to rebuild through the draft, and 1:01:50.840 --> 1:01:52.320 they're gonna have to get creative and free in the 1:01:52.320 --> 1:01:54.400 CAP's gonna go up. They'll get some relief and that's 1:01:54.400 --> 1:01:57.320 gonna help happen for the Bengals as well. So yeah, 1:01:57.400 --> 1:02:00.880 I mean it's a transitional time. I'm for a lot 1:02:00.880 --> 1:02:03.000 of teams in the AFC. I think Houston's going to 1:02:03.040 --> 1:02:05.480 take another step forward next year. I think Jacksonville's going 1:02:05.520 --> 1:02:08.480 to take another step forward next year. Browns Houston might 1:02:08.520 --> 1:02:11.200 take a step back. Who knows what the Browns. But 1:02:11.320 --> 1:02:14.120 like Buffalo, I mean, you guys have been talking about this. 1:02:14.120 --> 1:02:16.280 This is like there's a lot of pressure on Buffalo 1:02:16.360 --> 1:02:18.840 right now because of the way the AFC is lined up, 1:02:19.280 --> 1:02:21.480 and it's difficult to keep getting back there every year 1:02:21.560 --> 1:02:24.160 it is, and so this is a this is a 1:02:24.280 --> 1:02:25.600 critical star. 1:02:26.120 --> 1:02:27.640 It feels like is well, I don't know who's in 1:02:27.640 --> 1:02:29.480 worse shape. I mean case he wasn't in it, but 1:02:30.080 --> 1:02:32.000 the injury at Green Bay with Michael Parsons, I think 1:02:32.000 --> 1:02:34.240 it is bigger than losing Pat Mahomes. I agree in 1:02:34.280 --> 1:02:37.560 that regard. Hey, real quick, we did not get College Schwarber, 1:02:37.600 --> 1:02:39.160 but the next best thing we got a left handed 1:02:39.200 --> 1:02:40.240 reliever in Caleb Fergus. 1:02:40.360 --> 1:02:43.600 Yeah, and thank god he's from Ohio. That was the 1:02:43.640 --> 1:02:46.360 funniest thing I've ever seen their home homegrownd guy. Yeah, 1:02:46.440 --> 1:02:48.880 it's like, hey, we not signing anybody, but we got 1:02:48.880 --> 1:02:50.120 this cat from Columbus. 1:02:50.200 --> 1:02:53.360 Most Reds thing ever. Hell yeah, that's fifteen more tickets game. 1:02:53.640 --> 1:02:55.800 You did need some somebody in that position for sure, 1:02:55.800 --> 1:02:58.000 but no fix like the middle of your lineup. 1:02:58.040 --> 1:03:01.240 You know what's crazy about about the relief market, even 1:03:01.240 --> 1:03:03.720 going back to the trade deadline last year, is relievers 1:03:03.760 --> 1:03:09.240 are getting ridiculous contracts, ridiculous money. Relievers are the most 1:03:09.240 --> 1:03:11.760 important part of any team. The Reds really didn't have 1:03:11.800 --> 1:03:13.960 a matchup lefty. They didn't really have that last year. 1:03:14.000 --> 1:03:16.360 Taylor Rodgers didn't work out. Brent Souter was more of 1:03:16.400 --> 1:03:18.760 a long guy, and so they needed a lefty. So 1:03:18.800 --> 1:03:20.919 they're gonna bring back Sam Mall, which they got him 1:03:20.920 --> 1:03:23.400 for the cheap and hopefully he has a bounce back season. 1:03:23.400 --> 1:03:25.720 Wasn't fully healthy last year. And then you've got a 1:03:25.720 --> 1:03:28.200 guy like Caleb Ferguson, who pitched pretty well last year 1:03:28.600 --> 1:03:31.480 as one of those specific matchup lefties that you bring 1:03:31.520 --> 1:03:34.760 in for certain hitters to face guys like Kyle Schwarburn. 1:03:35.760 --> 1:03:37.720 The Reds needed it, they got it. I think they 1:03:37.720 --> 1:03:40.480 paid a little bit more than anybody expected them for it, 1:03:40.920 --> 1:03:42.720 and I don't know that they have much money in 1:03:42.720 --> 1:03:45.800 their eyes to spend, even though that's a bunch of hogwash, 1:03:45.880 --> 1:03:47.560 but that's where they stand it. 1:03:47.600 --> 1:03:49.960 And my thing, and you know this, we've talked. 1:03:50.360 --> 1:03:51.960 This team is going to try to run it back 1:03:51.960 --> 1:03:53.720 with the same group they did last year and say, well, 1:03:53.760 --> 1:03:55.480 Matt McLean will be better and so and so it'll 1:03:55.480 --> 1:03:58.040 be better. It's all nonsense and it's no way to 1:03:58.120 --> 1:04:00.960 run a business and try to win baseball games. 1:04:00.960 --> 1:04:01.880 But that's what they're gonna do. 1:04:02.040 --> 1:04:04.920 Yeah, I again, when you've just signed resigned Meili Pagan 1:04:04.960 --> 1:04:06.680 for two yours, so well, yeah, that's a year deal, 1:04:06.760 --> 1:04:08.320 but probably a little that's awesome, you got. 1:04:08.400 --> 1:04:09.959 I think they got about ten million left to play 1:04:09.960 --> 1:04:10.280 with them. 1:04:10.360 --> 1:04:10.920 I don't think so. 1:04:11.480 --> 1:04:14.720 They going into signing Caleb Ferguson it was five to 1:04:14.760 --> 1:04:16.840 ten million and they just signed him for five done, 1:04:17.080 --> 1:04:19.680 So I don't expect much unless they're gonna trade Brady 1:04:19.680 --> 1:04:22.520 Singer or Gavin Lux or somebody like that to try 1:04:22.560 --> 1:04:24.120 to free up ten or fifteen million dollars. 1:04:24.120 --> 1:04:24.640 I don't see it. 1:04:24.640 --> 1:04:24.920 Happened. 1:04:24.920 --> 1:04:25.280 All right. 1:04:25.640 --> 1:04:29.160 Finally, why is it that college football coaches apparently can't 1:04:29.200 --> 1:04:29.800 keep it in their pants? 1:04:29.840 --> 1:04:30.000 Yeah? 1:04:30.000 --> 1:04:33.960 The Sharon marthing and now Brian Smith at Ohio Tom 1:04:34.000 --> 1:04:38.200 Brunneman School, not the Ohio State University, but the Ohio University. 1:04:38.320 --> 1:04:38.520 Yeah. 1:04:38.800 --> 1:04:43.880 Uh, I mean, what are you thinking? You know, I 1:04:44.000 --> 1:04:44.560 just I don't. 1:04:44.600 --> 1:04:46.160 I have a lot of thoughts on this, but as 1:04:46.240 --> 1:04:48.520 much of it I can't say on the radio undergraduates. 1:04:48.560 --> 1:04:50.880 So it's you know, there's there's an old saying out 1:04:50.920 --> 1:04:52.800 there that that certain things are undefeated. 1:04:53.000 --> 1:04:54.880 That's true, certain things are undefeated. 1:04:55.520 --> 1:04:58.960 I just I feel Actually, our guy Moegar brought up 1:04:58.960 --> 1:05:01.160 a good point on his Twitter page last night. You know, 1:05:01.320 --> 1:05:03.920 college football coaches often are not afraid to tell you 1:05:03.960 --> 1:05:06.200 how hard they work and how they sleep in their 1:05:06.240 --> 1:05:08.360 office right, how they never see their families. Well, it 1:05:08.360 --> 1:05:11.880 seems like these guys are finding time to do other things. 1:05:11.920 --> 1:05:16.160 I'm recruiting. Yeah, I'm just recruiting. I thought that was it. 1:05:16.200 --> 1:05:18.480 I will leave it. I'll take it ball, Go FUS Cincinnati. 1:05:18.520 --> 1:05:20.840 I thought that was a good perspective. Go FUS Cincinnati 1:05:20.880 --> 1:05:23.040 Audio and leave it on this note. In the words 1:05:23.080 --> 1:05:26.880 of Cincinnati favorite Charlie Sheen, Okay, why do you why 1:05:26.960 --> 1:05:29.840 do you pay prostitutes. I don't pay prostitutes to have 1:05:29.960 --> 1:05:33.000 sex with I pay them to go away. And the 1:05:33.000 --> 1:05:35.440 immortal horns at Charlie Sheen, no true. Where do you 1:05:35.440 --> 1:05:38.200 think about that? Go huh and the immortal words of 1:05:38.200 --> 1:05:42.160 Sharon I pay them to go away. Austin Almore New 1:05:42.160 --> 1:05:44.360 Today with Tony Pike Tapike talking all football and stuff. 1:05:44.360 --> 1:05:46.280 Thanks again by Friday Football Frenzy. 1:05:46.320 --> 1:05:46.600 Baby. 1:05:46.680 --> 1:05:49.280 Been a fun year man. Thanks for contributing. I appreciate you. 1:05:49.320 --> 1:05:51.640 We'll talk again in the first year. Sloony seven hundred 1:05:51.640 --> 1:05:57.120 WW Cincinnati American. It's Scott a Funk show on seven 1:05:57.200 --> 1:06:01.600 hundred W LW. It is Ohio Senate built two ninety three, 1:06:01.880 --> 1:06:05.520 and that's going to set new restrictions for absentee balloting 1:06:05.640 --> 1:06:09.480 voting in Ohio. Number of things, a climate, improves efficiency, 1:06:09.600 --> 1:06:13.680 voter confidence, and it would basically what happens in Ohio 1:06:13.800 --> 1:06:16.760 four days after election day to have your vote counted. 1:06:16.800 --> 1:06:18.040 This would change that. 1:06:18.080 --> 1:06:20.240 I think thirty seven other states I believe have that 1:06:20.320 --> 1:06:23.040 right now, where if the ballot is not received at 1:06:23.040 --> 1:06:25.600 the Board of Elections by election day itself, it's it's 1:06:25.640 --> 1:06:28.200 invalid and that is part of set up built two 1:06:28.240 --> 1:06:28.600 ninety three. 1:06:28.640 --> 1:06:30.000 Sit on the government's test right now. 1:06:30.360 --> 1:06:33.800 Ken Kuchinelli's a former Trump's staffer and former Attorney General 1:06:33.800 --> 1:06:37.360 of Virginia and he's with the Election Transparency Initiative. Joins 1:06:37.360 --> 1:06:38.680 the show this morning. Ken, how are you. 1:06:40.280 --> 1:06:44.000 I'm doing well. I'll be even better if the governor signed. 1:06:46.360 --> 1:06:46.640 Yeah. 1:06:47.720 --> 1:06:49.760 I kind of glazed over it there. But what else 1:06:49.760 --> 1:06:50.480 would this include? 1:06:50.480 --> 1:06:50.520 What? 1:06:50.640 --> 1:06:53.040 I guess let's start with this. What is the what's 1:06:53.080 --> 1:06:54.200 the reason why we need this? 1:06:56.280 --> 1:07:00.479 Well, for one, particularly as the postal service, it's worse 1:07:00.520 --> 1:07:04.440 and worse instead of better and better. The logic of 1:07:04.600 --> 1:07:09.400 ending elections on election day becomes clearer and clearer. You know, 1:07:09.440 --> 1:07:12.080 you can go back twenty years to Jimmy Carter and 1:07:12.200 --> 1:07:18.080 James Baker. They had a bipartisan commission that they found 1:07:18.200 --> 1:07:21.520 that the most the form of voting, most subject of 1:07:21.640 --> 1:07:25.720 fraud and problems was mail in voting. And if you 1:07:25.800 --> 1:07:28.840 cut it off on election day, not only do you 1:07:29.360 --> 1:07:33.400 find out who won your elections on election day instead 1:07:33.400 --> 1:07:38.160 of the having the four day waiting period in which 1:07:38.240 --> 1:07:41.840 so much conspiracy theories take place from both sides. By 1:07:41.840 --> 1:07:47.000 the way, that you also have voters whose ballots are 1:07:47.040 --> 1:07:50.440 showing up earlier who if they make mistakes, can actually 1:07:50.520 --> 1:07:54.000 cure them. You can't cure a mistake after election day. 1:07:54.400 --> 1:07:57.560 You can only cure it before election day. So this 1:07:57.600 --> 1:08:04.440 would also lead to fixing more mistakenly cast ballots, something 1:08:04.480 --> 1:08:08.640 that doesn't get talked about very much. And as you noted, 1:08:08.720 --> 1:08:13.600 it's thirty four other states that really end elections on 1:08:13.720 --> 1:08:18.560 election day and at Election Transparency Initiative, as our name implies, 1:08:18.680 --> 1:08:23.200 we believe transparency is critical to the confidence in elections. 1:08:23.840 --> 1:08:27.639 And when you drag elections out past election day when 1:08:27.680 --> 1:08:33.600 you don't need to, that confidence begins to drop pretty precipitously, 1:08:34.320 --> 1:08:37.160 and that has real effects on whether people show up 1:08:37.160 --> 1:08:40.800 in the first place and turnout. And so we think 1:08:40.880 --> 1:08:44.280 Center Built two ninety three would be a tremendous improvement. 1:08:44.320 --> 1:08:49.120 And also, by the way, establishes cleaning up of the 1:08:49.200 --> 1:08:54.120 voter rolls every month. And as I mentioned, you can 1:08:54.160 --> 1:08:57.880 fix you can fix mistaken ballots before the election that 1:08:57.960 --> 1:08:59.599 you can't fix after the election. 1:09:00.160 --> 1:09:04.439 Legal isn't that the burden though on the voter? In 1:09:04.680 --> 1:09:07.080 consequences how many people are actually going back and realizing 1:09:07.080 --> 1:09:07.879 they made a mistake. 1:09:08.280 --> 1:09:09.120 What are the numbers on that? 1:09:11.160 --> 1:09:15.839 So it isn't that the people realized they made a mistake. 1:09:16.160 --> 1:09:20.240 That the clerks get to process the ballots before election 1:09:20.400 --> 1:09:23.960 day and they find that voters made a mistake and 1:09:24.040 --> 1:09:27.479 they can contact the voter and if they can come 1:09:27.520 --> 1:09:31.799 in and fix the mistake. For example, they didn't fulfill 1:09:31.840 --> 1:09:35.080 the requirements of the envelope the ballot has to come in, 1:09:36.040 --> 1:09:40.680 they can fix those things. And obviously all of us 1:09:40.760 --> 1:09:44.200 who want it to be easy to vote and hard 1:09:44.240 --> 1:09:47.640 to cheat want people to be able to fix those mistakes. 1:09:48.960 --> 1:09:52.400 Senate Bill two ninety three would make sure that more 1:09:52.479 --> 1:09:57.400 people get the opportunity to fix those mistakes. So I 1:09:57.439 --> 1:10:00.600 don't know the exact numbers in Ohio, you know that 1:10:00.760 --> 1:10:05.160 curing is allowed and that your clerks do what they 1:10:05.240 --> 1:10:08.120 can to make sure the people who've made those sorts 1:10:08.120 --> 1:10:12.000 of errors get the chance to fix them. So they 1:10:12.040 --> 1:10:15.000 can't do it on or after election day. On election day, 1:10:15.000 --> 1:10:18.000 they just don't have the manpower after election. 1:10:17.760 --> 1:10:18.920 Day, gotcha, it's too late. 1:10:19.200 --> 1:10:21.400 Keny also said that you know this is about the 1:10:21.400 --> 1:10:26.040 mail slower and sover mail service, but just still punishes 1:10:26.080 --> 1:10:29.160 people though because if mail service is slow beyond their control, 1:10:29.880 --> 1:10:31.439 and they still don't get in by election day. That's 1:10:31.439 --> 1:10:33.519 even worse. Instead of that four day grace period that 1:10:33.520 --> 1:10:38.640 they would give you. And consequently, it doesn't that disproportionately 1:10:38.640 --> 1:10:41.800 impact rural voters with slower mail service, or the disabled, 1:10:41.880 --> 1:10:44.120 or elderly voters, working class vote or something like that. Yeah, 1:10:44.160 --> 1:10:46.360 at the same time, there's an exemption here that allows 1:10:46.400 --> 1:10:49.959 that four days to stand for soldiers who are serving overseas. 1:10:49.960 --> 1:10:50.920 Why just exempt them? 1:10:53.080 --> 1:10:58.520 Well, because for several reasons, One, they have no choice 1:10:59.240 --> 1:11:04.360 but vote by mail, whereas for most people who use 1:11:04.479 --> 1:11:07.160 voting by mail in Ohio they do have the choice 1:11:07.360 --> 1:11:13.800 one and two they're coming longer distances because they're overseas 1:11:13.840 --> 1:11:17.880 and deployed, so that there's some rationale to it. 1:11:17.920 --> 1:11:18.599 I would tell you. 1:11:18.640 --> 1:11:21.880 What if you're working, what if you work overseas? 1:11:24.560 --> 1:11:29.559 Well, those folks are left in the same posture before 1:11:29.600 --> 1:11:32.760 and after Centate build two ninety three, that four day 1:11:33.160 --> 1:11:38.479 stays for both military and and resident overseas voters. 1:11:38.520 --> 1:11:44.360 Gotcha, Okay, so it applies to them, I don't know. 1:11:44.520 --> 1:11:47.280 Then you find out who who wins on election night. 1:11:47.400 --> 1:11:48.160 That's a big deal. 1:11:48.200 --> 1:11:51.559 I mean, think about look I'll point to Florida. Florida 1:11:51.640 --> 1:11:54.759 is the third largest state, and people on both sides 1:11:54.760 --> 1:11:57.400 of the aisle continue to be amazed that an hour 1:11:57.479 --> 1:12:00.439 after the polls closed in Florida they throw sick million 1:12:00.520 --> 1:12:02.840 votes up on the board. How do they do that? 1:12:03.240 --> 1:12:06.160 They do that because votes have come in before election 1:12:06.280 --> 1:12:08.880 day that they've processed, right, and so they can have 1:12:09.040 --> 1:12:12.639 them counted during election day and be ready to put 1:12:12.680 --> 1:12:17.840 that up. And both sides appreciate that that takes an 1:12:17.880 --> 1:12:21.040 awful lot of the guests words, no doubt, suspicion out 1:12:21.080 --> 1:12:24.360 of the process of ballot processing, a lot of it. 1:12:24.720 --> 1:12:27.320 And I would also note in Virginia, you know my 1:12:27.960 --> 1:12:31.519 most Democrat, so I'm a Republican, so people might think, well, 1:12:32.080 --> 1:12:37.120 some must be some Republican. Well, the director of Elections 1:12:37.160 --> 1:12:42.280 and the most Democrat voting district in Virginia, Petersburg, Virginia, 1:12:43.360 --> 1:12:49.080 has for years been recommending to people in her city 1:12:50.200 --> 1:12:54.599 that they not ever mail about it ever, that they 1:12:54.640 --> 1:12:57.439 do anything they can to bring it in person or 1:12:57.520 --> 1:13:03.680 voting person because of how many every single election, no 1:13:03.720 --> 1:13:07.680 matter how early they mail them, just never show up. 1:13:08.280 --> 1:13:12.000 And that's been that's been years in the making so look. 1:13:11.840 --> 1:13:14.280 This, but this is not about that. This is about 1:13:14.479 --> 1:13:16.320 I don't really care about those states. I care about 1:13:16.320 --> 1:13:20.280 where I live, Ohio and work, but the postals. 1:13:20.560 --> 1:13:24.240 But but the reasons for it are universal. The reasons 1:13:24.280 --> 1:13:26.280 for it are universal. And I use Florida as an 1:13:26.320 --> 1:13:29.320 example because it's such an enormous state and yet they 1:13:29.360 --> 1:13:33.280 managed to process all those ballots by an hour after 1:13:33.320 --> 1:13:36.679 the post close. And and look you've got You've got 1:13:36.800 --> 1:13:40.160 tens hundreds of thousands of people voting by mail. And 1:13:40.320 --> 1:13:44.519 if they they're not stupid, I don't assume they're stupid. 1:13:44.600 --> 1:13:47.280 I know Mike Dwaine, we served as Attorney's General together. 1:13:47.360 --> 1:13:50.240 I know he doesn't think people in Ohio stupid. And 1:13:50.479 --> 1:13:53.719 they're going to shift forward. They're voting, if they're male voters, 1:13:54.360 --> 1:13:57.960 to make the deadline. They're not dumb, they're smart. And 1:13:58.000 --> 1:14:01.520 they're also going to by doing that, get the opportunity 1:14:01.840 --> 1:14:05.599 in the in the event they make mistakes on their 1:14:05.640 --> 1:14:09.000 ballot to be able to correct those. So this is 1:14:09.040 --> 1:14:13.120 going to get more votes in the ballot block, some 1:14:13.320 --> 1:14:16.599 of which the estimate I understand that of Ohio's around 1:14:16.640 --> 1:14:22.920 the thousand that would otherwise be uncounted because of the 1:14:22.920 --> 1:14:26.600 mistakes and how they're they're filed, will have the opportunity 1:14:26.640 --> 1:14:30.120 to get cured. And you know that's that's not a 1:14:30.120 --> 1:14:32.560 big number, but we've had races to seven by a 1:14:32.640 --> 1:14:34.840 thousand in Virginia and where you know we're. 1:14:35.160 --> 1:14:37.440 We've had close ones here in Ohio. Absolutely. 1:14:38.800 --> 1:14:41.600 Ken Kuchinelli's here on the show on seven hundred WOLW. 1:14:42.200 --> 1:14:44.640 We're talking about voter vote integrity, and one of the 1:14:44.640 --> 1:14:46.280 big things with the Senate bill that's sitting on de 1:14:46.360 --> 1:14:49.280 Wine's desk right now would be to eliminate the four 1:14:49.320 --> 1:14:51.400 day gray spiard after elections. To have your ball at coount, 1:14:51.439 --> 1:14:54.320 it have to be in and counted prior to election 1:14:54.400 --> 1:14:56.680 polls closing for that to occur, and it's kind of 1:14:56.680 --> 1:14:59.360 a that's kind of a minor point. But I guess 1:14:59.360 --> 1:15:00.960 the other thing too, would be, well, if the election 1:15:01.120 --> 1:15:03.839 were that close, and we've had, as you said, close elections, 1:15:03.880 --> 1:15:05.960 and the way as divide as we are in this country, 1:15:06.000 --> 1:15:07.880 will have even more close elections, I guess in the 1:15:07.920 --> 1:15:10.240 near future. But if that's the case, wouldn't that just 1:15:10.320 --> 1:15:13.000 automatically trigger a recount, So it puts everything on hold. 1:15:13.040 --> 1:15:16.559 Anyway, when you have. 1:15:18.960 --> 1:15:21.800 Elections that are within the margin of the recount. Of 1:15:21.800 --> 1:15:26.719 course that happens, but that doesn't even determined until you've 1:15:26.760 --> 1:15:29.840 got your ballots in and their counting. And you can 1:15:29.880 --> 1:15:32.439 know that election night if you have all your ballots 1:15:32.479 --> 1:15:35.759 in and I say all your ballots in. Of course 1:15:35.800 --> 1:15:39.880 we've already talked about military and overseas voters still get 1:15:39.880 --> 1:15:43.240 the four days, but the proportion of the balloting that 1:15:43.400 --> 1:15:50.160 comes from those folks is extremely small, extremely small. And 1:15:50.720 --> 1:15:53.439 let's say that the majority, the vast majority of those 1:15:53.520 --> 1:15:56.800 votes are already in by election day. So with the 1:15:56.880 --> 1:16:01.360 other votes not lingering after election dates, tune of tens 1:16:01.479 --> 1:16:04.640 or hundreds of thousands of votes, you know immediately if 1:16:04.680 --> 1:16:08.639 you're heading into a recount situation. And I would say, look, 1:16:08.680 --> 1:16:14.559 we've seen the hyperbole that flies around after elections from 1:16:14.560 --> 1:16:17.719 both sides. You can look at Stacy Abrams and Georgia 1:16:17.760 --> 1:16:21.559 in twenty eighteen. You can look at how people felt 1:16:21.600 --> 1:16:27.439 about the twenty twenty outcome, and this trace is back 1:16:27.479 --> 1:16:31.599 all the way really to bushby Gore in two thousand, right. 1:16:33.320 --> 1:16:33.479 In. 1:16:33.520 --> 1:16:37.160 Some aspects of those complaints are often legitimate and some aren't. 1:16:37.720 --> 1:16:41.320 And you mentioned this bill does a couple of small things. 1:16:41.720 --> 1:16:44.640 Elections are made up of hundreds of small things, and 1:16:44.760 --> 1:16:48.880 this bill would help clean up and clean up Ohio elections, 1:16:49.240 --> 1:16:52.320 firm them up, and make them more transparent on election 1:16:52.439 --> 1:16:56.080 day when people expect, whether you and I think it's 1:16:56.080 --> 1:16:59.719 reasonable or not, when people expect to know the outcome, 1:17:00.479 --> 1:17:07.640 and you know, matching the process to citizens expectations is 1:17:07.720 --> 1:17:10.559 a way to build confidence in the outcome of the election, 1:17:10.720 --> 1:17:14.360 no matter who wins. And that's that's a major goal 1:17:14.439 --> 1:17:16.400 for the election transparency initiatives. 1:17:16.680 --> 1:17:19.599 But that's also ken that's also kind of undermined when 1:17:19.640 --> 1:17:21.400 you have people that are talking about how, you know, 1:17:21.400 --> 1:17:23.760 if you lose the election. Let's talk about what Trump 1:17:23.840 --> 1:17:26.040 did last time, right he lost the election, I was 1:17:26.120 --> 1:17:27.920 you know, was stolen basically, and we still have the 1:17:28.000 --> 1:17:31.360 Mipellow guy out there that's pretty much lost everything and 1:17:31.360 --> 1:17:33.280 he's still banging the drum for this stuff. It's never 1:17:33.320 --> 1:17:35.639 been proven. I think that underminds it more than things 1:17:35.720 --> 1:17:36.280 like this, don't you. 1:17:40.000 --> 1:17:45.839 This is what legislators and governors can do to build 1:17:45.880 --> 1:17:48.720 the confidence up they and they have to work with 1:17:48.920 --> 1:17:51.320 how their process really works. They don't get to just 1:17:51.400 --> 1:17:54.800 say whatever they want and you can use the twenty 1:17:54.840 --> 1:17:57.640 twenty example. I started with Stacy Abrams. We can go 1:17:57.720 --> 1:18:02.080 back all the way to two thousand and the bushby Gore, 1:18:02.360 --> 1:18:05.120 and this has been both sides of the aisle at 1:18:05.200 --> 1:18:08.559 various points in time. Hillary Clinton didn't concede she lost. 1:18:08.960 --> 1:18:12.880 Terry mccaulloff didn't conceive that Hillary Clinton lost, you know, 1:18:13.000 --> 1:18:15.680 for years and years, and suddenly that was treason when 1:18:15.760 --> 1:18:20.720 Donald Trump wouldn't took the same approach. So you know, 1:18:21.000 --> 1:18:25.160 this bill treats everybody the same. It changes the rules 1:18:25.280 --> 1:18:29.240 before the election in a way that voters can understand. Again, 1:18:29.360 --> 1:18:32.519 we respect the intelligence of voters and we expect them 1:18:32.560 --> 1:18:35.800 to respond to the changes in the process, and they 1:18:35.840 --> 1:18:38.200 have shown an ability to do that. I mean, this 1:18:38.280 --> 1:18:41.400 isn't this wouldn't be some outlier. This would make Ohio 1:18:41.479 --> 1:18:46.280 the thirty fifth state to count ballots this way, and 1:18:46.400 --> 1:18:49.080 the more states that start doing this when it is 1:18:49.240 --> 1:18:53.200 presidential elections at state the only elections that cross state lines, 1:18:53.720 --> 1:18:56.639 then we'll know the answers to the answer to who 1:18:56.680 --> 1:19:00.360 the next president is more quickly and we'll all eiminate 1:19:00.560 --> 1:19:03.960 the paranoia period between election day and when ballots are 1:19:03.960 --> 1:19:04.719 finally counted? 1:19:05.320 --> 1:19:08.160 Is that I mean, is there census might be moot 1:19:08.200 --> 1:19:11.320 in the sense because I know that the Circuit Court, 1:19:11.439 --> 1:19:14.400 I think Fifth Circuit ruled Mississippi's grace period violated federal 1:19:14.479 --> 1:19:18.120 law right because election includes receipt of ballots that only 1:19:18.120 --> 1:19:20.280 applies in three states. The Supreme Court yet to rule 1:19:20.280 --> 1:19:23.120 on this. So is this here in Ohio can preemptively 1:19:23.160 --> 1:19:26.240 elinating voter access based on speculation about what Scotus might do? 1:19:26.280 --> 1:19:28.720 And if Supreme Court rules the other way, then do 1:19:28.800 --> 1:19:31.200 we need to we have to under the law. Should 1:19:31.240 --> 1:19:33.080 we wait till till still go to rules? 1:19:35.000 --> 1:19:37.800 First of all, this bill doesn't eliminate voter access. It 1:19:37.840 --> 1:19:41.439 improves voter access. You seem to assume that no one 1:19:41.479 --> 1:19:42.160 will adjust. 1:19:43.360 --> 1:19:45.120 Well, you could just it's easy to fix this and 1:19:45.160 --> 1:19:46.640 just go, hey, you know what, here's kind of like 1:19:46.720 --> 1:19:50.360 Christmas shopping. Here's when you're shipping gifts. You're like Amazon says, okay, 1:19:50.360 --> 1:19:52.240 here's the drop to if you want your package you 1:19:52.320 --> 1:19:55.160 arrived before Christmas. Uh, it's well average. We could do 1:19:55.200 --> 1:19:57.040 the same thing and not need a bill, isn't it. 1:19:57.280 --> 1:19:59.080 I mean, you just tell people to vote. 1:19:58.880 --> 1:20:04.040 Earlier, you know, well, to do what you propose would 1:20:04.040 --> 1:20:08.280 still require a bill, but for your listeners benefit, you're correct. 1:20:08.400 --> 1:20:12.400 The Fifth Federal Circuit, which is Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana, 1:20:12.680 --> 1:20:17.200 ruled recently that in federal elections, so even year elections 1:20:17.280 --> 1:20:21.000 happening in November, because they can only rule on federal 1:20:21.080 --> 1:20:24.880 law and federal elections, that the election must end on 1:20:25.040 --> 1:20:29.719 election day, meaning all ballots must be received by election day. 1:20:29.800 --> 1:20:33.439 That's the Fifth Circuits interpretation of federal law that has 1:20:33.479 --> 1:20:36.080 been appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has 1:20:36.120 --> 1:20:39.479 taken the case. We don't know how that case will 1:20:39.520 --> 1:20:43.920 come out, but you are correct for federal elections that 1:20:44.360 --> 1:20:48.719 if the Supreme Court upholds the Fifth Circuit, then all 1:20:48.840 --> 1:20:53.320 even year elections are going to end on election day, 1:20:53.479 --> 1:20:56.040 and what you and I are talking about is going 1:20:56.080 --> 1:20:59.720 to become the law. Well, it will have been acknowledged 1:20:59.720 --> 1:21:05.280 as having been the law, but not enforced across the country. 1:21:05.400 --> 1:21:08.160 So it doesn't mean it applies to all your state 1:21:08.200 --> 1:21:10.519 elections or any that you may have in the spring 1:21:10.560 --> 1:21:14.040 at local and so forth, those kinds of things, but 1:21:14.120 --> 1:21:16.600 it would apply to federal elections, which will be the 1:21:16.680 --> 1:21:18.520 even year November elections. 1:21:19.040 --> 1:21:21.960 Gotcha, and what do you think the governor does at 1:21:21.960 --> 1:21:23.559 this point? Does he sign? Is he gonna sign us? 1:21:25.479 --> 1:21:27.400 You know, this seems like a toss up to me. 1:21:27.479 --> 1:21:30.400 I hope people that would like to see their elections 1:21:30.439 --> 1:21:32.880 cleaned up and firmed up will call the governor's office 1:21:32.960 --> 1:21:36.080 ask him to sign Senate Built two ninety three. He 1:21:36.120 --> 1:21:39.639 has today and tomorrow if I've done my count correctly 1:21:40.160 --> 1:21:43.120 yet to decide. If he does nothing, it becomes law 1:21:43.160 --> 1:21:46.920 without his signature, which is entirely plausible that he could 1:21:47.640 --> 1:21:50.479 do that. But he's going to be deciding today and tomorrow, 1:21:50.720 --> 1:21:53.519 so he does the right thing and signed Centate Built 1:21:53.520 --> 1:21:54.200 two ninety three. 1:21:54.280 --> 1:21:54.880 We'll find out. 1:21:55.120 --> 1:21:59.120 Ken Kuchinelli at the Election Transparency Initial appreciate you answer 1:21:59.160 --> 1:21:59.719 my questions. 1:22:00.000 --> 1:22:02.439 Interesting, Sure, glad to do it all the best. 1:22:02.640 --> 1:22:04.599 I'd be well, have a great Christmas in the holiday, 1:22:04.600 --> 1:22:06.920 thanks so much. It's a Scottsland show on seven hundred 1:22:06.960 --> 1:22:08.439 W do now I hear these go Hey, we got 1:22:08.439 --> 1:22:10.720 to clean up election. You know, election integrity. It's not 1:22:10.760 --> 1:22:12.800 a problem in Ohio. I think it's a problem in 1:22:12.840 --> 1:22:14.679 Kentucky and Indiana. By the way, they have that role 1:22:14.720 --> 1:22:17.680 too in Kentucky and Indiana. I think the ballots got 1:22:17.720 --> 1:22:20.400 to be in by election day, which hey, it makes sense. 1:22:20.439 --> 1:22:22.559 I just wonder I don't. I think it's just the 1:22:22.600 --> 1:22:25.439 same thing either way, because just tell people, hey, you 1:22:25.439 --> 1:22:27.800 don't vote earlier and get them in by election day. 1:22:27.800 --> 1:22:30.439 It kind of solves the problem as well, you know, 1:22:30.479 --> 1:22:32.360 the four day grace spirit. I mean, how often has 1:22:32.400 --> 1:22:35.040 that triggered, you know, the worries about, you know, if 1:22:35.040 --> 1:22:37.240 the election integrity because not all the ballots have been 1:22:37.240 --> 1:22:39.040 cone well they count them, you know, if it doesn't 1:22:39.080 --> 1:22:42.000 matter what the ballots are coming after, they'll call the 1:22:42.000 --> 1:22:44.040 election and you know, you send it in light it's 1:22:44.080 --> 1:22:47.599 on you. Yeah, I just I don't think it's good 1:22:47.680 --> 1:22:49.519 or bad. I just think it really doesn't mean a lot, 1:22:49.600 --> 1:22:52.479 especially if the Supreme Court may strike this down. Anyway, 1:22:52.600 --> 1:22:54.400 got to get a news update in and it's Scott 1:22:54.439 --> 1:22:56.240 Sloan after News here seven hundred W. 1:23:00.040 --> 1:23:02.599 Weekends coming up and you need to make the most 1:23:02.600 --> 1:23:05.360 advance where to go and what to do. She has 1:23:05.439 --> 1:23:07.559 the tips and inside to help you make it a 1:23:07.760 --> 1:23:11.160 super weekend. So listen up. This is the Local Hoop 1:23:11.240 --> 1:23:14.560 with Ali Martin on seven hundred WLW. 1:23:15.160 --> 1:23:16.599 Yes Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes. 1:23:16.640 --> 1:23:18.599 Friday means Allie time. As we close out the show 1:23:18.640 --> 1:23:21.400 this morning on seven hundred WWR, last one of the year, 1:23:22.080 --> 1:23:22.880 my friend, how are you? 1:23:23.080 --> 1:23:23.519 I'm great. 1:23:23.560 --> 1:23:26.360 I have absolutely no idea what day is as we 1:23:26.439 --> 1:23:28.639 come to the end of obviously it's Friday, but as 1:23:28.640 --> 1:23:32.360 we come to the end of the year and January 1:23:32.360 --> 1:23:35.120 and the holidays, is it Tuesday? Is it Thursday? Is 1:23:35.120 --> 1:23:35.639 it Friday? 1:23:35.840 --> 1:23:37.400 I treat every day like it's Friday. 1:23:37.520 --> 1:23:39.719 No idea, it's are you in the camp of going? 1:23:40.160 --> 1:23:42.960 I can't believe a week from yesterday's Christmas. 1:23:43.240 --> 1:23:45.599 I can't believe that. I get no idea. 1:23:45.680 --> 1:23:46.160 You know what. 1:23:46.400 --> 1:23:49.240 Also, where my head is at is number one, just like, 1:23:49.280 --> 1:23:52.200 where did this year go? Because as I'm scrolling through 1:23:52.680 --> 1:23:55.160 some of the stuff that I've prepped for today, top 1:23:55.240 --> 1:23:58.240 things that we've done, eaten all that jazz, I'm like, 1:23:58.320 --> 1:24:00.960 holy crap, looking through my phoe is the best way 1:24:01.000 --> 1:24:04.160 on my Apple photos and I'm thinking that was a. 1:24:04.160 --> 1:24:08.439 Year ago, right, I built my desk a year ago. 1:24:09.439 --> 1:24:11.120 It feels like it was yesterday. 1:24:11.240 --> 1:24:13.920 I just yeah, it's fun because Michelle's talking to neighbor 1:24:14.080 --> 1:24:17.200 and this week and goes, h yeah, I got to 1:24:17.200 --> 1:24:19.439 get eventually, go get some Christmas stuff or whatever. 1:24:19.560 --> 1:24:19.760 You know. 1:24:19.840 --> 1:24:21.760 He's like, it only got like a week. She goes, 1:24:21.800 --> 1:24:26.160 no Christmas like three weeks. And I goes, it's December seventeenth. Okay, 1:24:26.240 --> 1:24:28.599 she knows what it's next week. Yeah, it's next week. 1:24:28.680 --> 1:24:31.280 Where is the deadline? I don't know, because here's this 1:24:32.000 --> 1:24:32.880 if I don't get. 1:24:32.960 --> 1:24:34.479 I think part of the reason why it's so weird 1:24:34.520 --> 1:24:38.440 is because everybody's you know, putting out holiday stuff before Halloween. 1:24:38.760 --> 1:24:41.439 So there's this weird juxtaposition where I feel like we're 1:24:41.439 --> 1:24:45.040 burnt out before Halloween even happens. And so Thanksgiving rolls 1:24:45.040 --> 1:24:47.800 around and I time fries and if I don't have 1:24:47.920 --> 1:24:51.479 my Christmas tree up right around Thanksgiving time, I'm done. 1:24:52.000 --> 1:24:53.720 I've done that before in the past, where then I 1:24:53.760 --> 1:24:56.400 never even get my tree non holiday. 1:24:56.439 --> 1:24:57.840 But we put ours up early than ever before, and 1:24:57.840 --> 1:25:00.960 it's still like, I can't believe it's next week. Maybe, man, 1:25:01.000 --> 1:25:02.200 what's some time off to you get? 1:25:02.439 --> 1:25:05.120 The other notion of holiday mode is eggnog. Once they 1:25:05.200 --> 1:25:07.080 put out the eggnog in the stores. 1:25:07.240 --> 1:25:09.559 They're putting it out like around Halloween. Now I've noticed 1:25:09.600 --> 1:25:11.280 for guys, it's gonna be year round. 1:25:11.560 --> 1:25:13.320 Why isn't eggnog a year round here? 1:25:13.360 --> 1:25:15.040 Yeah? You know what, It's kind of like the McRib 1:25:15.080 --> 1:25:16.479 and only just come out on's. 1:25:16.320 --> 1:25:18.920 Here or they're lucky, it's like every five years. 1:25:19.560 --> 1:25:21.360 And then make rib and I think eggnog are the 1:25:21.439 --> 1:25:24.760 same level of health benefit for you. I'm gonna have 1:25:24.760 --> 1:25:27.639 a eating a McRib and washed it down with an eggnog. 1:25:28.080 --> 1:25:29.840 No one ever asks for it. Here's the other thing 1:25:29.880 --> 1:25:31.320 I was thinking about this the other day. I'm like, 1:25:31.400 --> 1:25:34.559 why for Santa, right, you leave out cookies and milk? 1:25:34.880 --> 1:25:38.439 Why are we leaving eggnog and cookies? Shouldn't that be? 1:25:38.640 --> 1:25:39.080 That's true? 1:25:39.120 --> 1:25:42.160 That's a good well because eggnog tic typically is as 1:25:42.280 --> 1:25:44.439 alcohol in it. And the guy he'd never make it 1:25:44.439 --> 1:25:45.200 out of Arkansas. 1:25:47.800 --> 1:25:51.960 Maybe that's what you think he's really he's on autopilot. Now, 1:25:53.200 --> 1:25:53.880 like Tesla, do. 1:25:53.920 --> 1:25:55.839 You really want Santa puken down your chimney? 1:25:55.920 --> 1:25:56.000 No? 1:25:56.760 --> 1:25:59.639 But not all eggnog has What do we get. 1:25:59.600 --> 1:26:03.960 For Chris ew Why is Santa black down? 1:26:04.439 --> 1:26:06.600 Why is he face down next to the tree. 1:26:07.040 --> 1:26:08.120 Naked next to the toilet. 1:26:08.160 --> 1:26:09.680 It's gonna be like the raccoon. 1:26:11.000 --> 1:26:12.840 Santa. No, so you don't want to feed Santa egg. 1:26:12.840 --> 1:26:14.960 Now that's a bad idea. Where are you on egg nog? 1:26:15.479 --> 1:26:17.879 I want to love it. I'd love it spiked. 1:26:18.280 --> 1:26:20.840 It is a I will get one carton, like a 1:26:20.880 --> 1:26:24.200 small one, every single year, and it's the around right 1:26:24.240 --> 1:26:27.720 around now where it's a Saturday Sunday morning. Maybe I'll 1:26:27.760 --> 1:26:30.559 pour myself a small glass, a real small glass. But 1:26:30.640 --> 1:26:33.080 it is not something that I wake up thinking I 1:26:33.120 --> 1:26:34.480 need me some eg. 1:26:34.560 --> 1:26:35.640 I like the flavor of it. 1:26:36.240 --> 1:26:40.040 It's good, right, it's we actually buy like we'll get 1:26:40.040 --> 1:26:42.519 like the half gall of Kroger. And then Michelle likes 1:26:42.560 --> 1:26:43.520 to put it in her coffee. 1:26:43.800 --> 1:26:45.880 Yeah, that makes sense, like a little bit of like creamer, 1:26:45.880 --> 1:26:49.679 because it's a CINEREMONI. It's come out with different flavors. Now, 1:26:50.200 --> 1:26:51.640 so I'm not mad. I'm sure my. 1:26:52.160 --> 1:26:54.840 Sister in law makes it from scratch and she makes 1:26:54.840 --> 1:26:55.360 it boozy. 1:26:55.520 --> 1:26:56.840 Wow, that's when you. 1:26:56.720 --> 1:26:57.759 Make homemade eggnog. 1:26:57.800 --> 1:27:00.439 It's a whole nother different level boozy. 1:27:00.439 --> 1:27:04.200 Though again, give it, Santa gives it. Maybe you'll fall 1:27:04.280 --> 1:27:04.720 off the roof. 1:27:04.800 --> 1:27:07.200 Yeah, I can never say. Of what do bars do it? 1:27:07.680 --> 1:27:09.439 Can you get an eggnog and a bar Ooh? 1:27:09.760 --> 1:27:14.160 Actually, well, so like a martini. I know which is 1:27:14.200 --> 1:27:14.960 on my list. 1:27:15.560 --> 1:27:17.599 Faulton the Yards is one of my favorite coffee shops 1:27:17.640 --> 1:27:20.479 these days, and they have a full holiday cocktail spread 1:27:20.520 --> 1:27:24.200 and they're doing like an eggnog martini, so it's a 1:27:24.240 --> 1:27:27.320 thicker cocktail. If you were to do so, you'll see 1:27:27.360 --> 1:27:29.200 that a lot of these holiday bars will lean into it. 1:27:29.240 --> 1:27:30.320 But it's that happy to me. 1:27:30.840 --> 1:27:32.400 That eggnog is a whole different thing. 1:27:33.080 --> 1:27:36.599 I said, santsy be falling off the roof, which actually 1:27:36.640 --> 1:27:39.040 makes me laugh. Have you seen the movie the Santa 1:27:39.040 --> 1:27:43.559 Claus who hasn't with? Do you know? In the initial script? 1:27:43.640 --> 1:27:44.639 I learned this this year. 1:27:45.080 --> 1:27:49.759 Tim Allen said that the script was written to shoot Santa, 1:27:50.040 --> 1:27:53.200 so you know how when he hears Santa and how 1:27:53.520 --> 1:27:55.479 really and he ends up falling off the roof because 1:27:55.479 --> 1:27:57.439 he runs out. He's like, hey, who's up there? And 1:27:57.439 --> 1:28:00.400 then Sand's like ooh and then falls off. In the script, 1:28:00.400 --> 1:28:06.200 initially it has Tim Allen killing Santa really, yes, and 1:28:06.240 --> 1:28:09.519 then Disney read it over. He apparently Tim loved the idea. 1:28:09.760 --> 1:28:14.400 Disney read it over like, we can't shoot Santa, so 1:28:14.439 --> 1:28:17.960 it changed the entire can kill satam you can't kill. 1:28:18.600 --> 1:28:20.679 So that's my weird fun fact. 1:28:20.920 --> 1:28:23.280 Let's get into I know you wanted to review twenty 1:28:23.280 --> 1:28:23.800 twenty five. 1:28:24.080 --> 1:28:26.479 Yeah, So where my head is at with this is 1:28:26.680 --> 1:28:29.000 the new spots that have opened, you know, what are 1:28:29.000 --> 1:28:33.040 the big highlight spots, as well as going micro down 1:28:33.120 --> 1:28:37.200 to some of the favorite dishes that we've had this year. 1:28:37.560 --> 1:28:40.679 Now some of my top favorite overall picks in regards 1:28:40.680 --> 1:28:43.800 to establishments, and we went into a battle of how 1:28:43.800 --> 1:28:48.360 to pronounce this wayfair wayfair where farah way Farrah The 1:28:48.360 --> 1:28:51.640 pizza joint over in Dayton, Kentucky. They're the ones that 1:28:51.680 --> 1:28:54.240 have the pickled pizza. Keep in mind they've been around. 1:28:54.320 --> 1:28:56.519 They were around last year but they were more pop ups. 1:28:56.560 --> 1:28:59.800 But this year they have their establishment and I think 1:28:59.800 --> 1:29:02.800 that's the top spot to check out. Really great cocktails. 1:29:02.960 --> 1:29:05.120 They have a full menu, but they're really known for 1:29:05.400 --> 1:29:07.639 their different pizzas. 1:29:07.120 --> 1:29:11.200 Okay, a, as you know, that's a E t X 1:29:11.240 --> 1:29:12.120 E E t X. 1:29:12.360 --> 1:29:16.120 It's a basque steakhouse which they are actually going now 1:29:16.640 --> 1:29:18.120 four days a week because I don't know if you 1:29:18.160 --> 1:29:20.280 heard the news, but the Aperture, which is the space 1:29:20.280 --> 1:29:24.320 that they're doing their culinary residency in Jordan had Chef Jordan. 1:29:24.680 --> 1:29:26.880 He's revamping. He's closing down. 1:29:26.760 --> 1:29:28.719 For a little bit, but the goal is to reopen, 1:29:28.760 --> 1:29:30.240 so they're going to take over the space a little 1:29:30.280 --> 1:29:35.280 bit longer. So at a the Bass Steakhouse, Tapa's really good. 1:29:35.400 --> 1:29:37.479 Uh pork Pluma, which is one of. 1:29:37.439 --> 1:29:43.360 My TOPI steakhouse different. Yeah, I don't even know if 1:29:43.400 --> 1:29:45.360 that exists. There was a. 1:29:44.840 --> 1:29:47.920 Downtown yeah, now there's one, and I think. 1:29:50.000 --> 1:29:53.000 That sounds about Yes. 1:29:54.479 --> 1:29:56.840 I deserve to get fired from this gig because all 1:29:56.920 --> 1:29:59.920 last week I literally thought flight club. 1:30:00.080 --> 1:30:01.559 Okay, I've been calling. 1:30:01.400 --> 1:30:03.040 It fight club, I know, and I can't ask you. 1:30:03.360 --> 1:30:04.240 You asked me about it. 1:30:04.760 --> 1:30:07.040 I feel it's weird. It should be flight club, not 1:30:07.080 --> 1:30:09.679 fight club. Ye, and it's actually called what. 1:30:09.840 --> 1:30:12.599 Flight club club? Because I can't read. 1:30:13.960 --> 1:30:16.360 I have been all over this and I have in 1:30:16.479 --> 1:30:20.920 my head straight to dyslexia and have been calling it 1:30:20.960 --> 1:30:22.599 fight club because maybe because I want to get into 1:30:22.600 --> 1:30:23.160 a fight at a war. 1:30:23.640 --> 1:30:25.680 So I'm going to take full responsibility and I'm so 1:30:25.720 --> 1:30:31.040 sorry it makes hello flight club because it's darts flying darts. 1:30:31.120 --> 1:30:33.880 I feel so much better going Why that's a bad 1:30:33.960 --> 1:30:36.320 name for it? Why wouldn't you just call it flight 1:30:36.400 --> 1:30:37.880 club because then it's a play on words. 1:30:37.880 --> 1:30:38.880 You know, no, no, no. 1:30:38.800 --> 1:30:41.200 It's fight club, but they have darts, so it should 1:30:41.240 --> 1:30:42.880 be flight club. No, it's fight club. 1:30:43.439 --> 1:30:44.519 I wanted to get into a fight. 1:30:44.640 --> 1:30:46.479 And I should have known, because sometimes when you ask 1:30:46.520 --> 1:30:47.840 a follow a question, I know what you do, and 1:30:47.880 --> 1:30:49.280 you're like, are you sure? 1:30:49.320 --> 1:30:49.800 You're sure? 1:30:50.040 --> 1:30:50.599 Are you sure? 1:30:50.640 --> 1:30:52.439 I'm gonna take your word for it, but I'm a question. 1:30:52.640 --> 1:30:55.200 You really should have leaned into that question a little 1:30:55.200 --> 1:30:55.840 bit hard, like. 1:30:55.880 --> 1:30:57.439 I would love to be in that branding meeting. What 1:30:57.439 --> 1:30:57.800 do we call it? 1:30:57.800 --> 1:30:59.840 How about flight club? Now just call it fight club? 1:31:00.000 --> 1:31:02.519 Are you throwing darts? Flight flight could? 1:31:03.120 --> 1:31:04.160 If you lose, maybe you. 1:31:06.280 --> 1:31:09.360 I take a responsibility for that one. But it's really 1:31:09.360 --> 1:31:09.960 great that that. 1:31:09.920 --> 1:31:10.599 Opened this year. 1:31:14.800 --> 1:31:17.519 Whatever it's called, whatever it's called, and whatever you do there, 1:31:17.600 --> 1:31:19.360 and it's the dark the Dark spot down. 1:31:19.560 --> 1:31:23.360 That's just something about the warm wood in English this 1:31:23.479 --> 1:31:25.600 time of year. Seems like you should be able to 1:31:25.600 --> 1:31:26.400 get an egg nod there. 1:31:26.720 --> 1:31:29.559 That is as that doesn't good call back on that one. 1:31:30.920 --> 1:31:34.599 I am also going to throw out Salsar, note Che 1:31:35.240 --> 1:31:39.599 and prim As other big staple spots that have opened 1:31:39.640 --> 1:31:43.640 this year that are worth noting. Spots that I have 1:31:43.720 --> 1:31:46.519 tried this shore, I'm like, where have I been live? 1:31:46.600 --> 1:31:47.559 I've been under a rock. 1:31:47.640 --> 1:31:49.800 I can't believe I'm saying this because I'm not a 1:31:49.840 --> 1:31:52.920 sandwich person, but I still dream about it and it's 1:31:53.000 --> 1:31:54.240 kind of far up there for me. 1:31:54.760 --> 1:31:58.519 And it's the new England Grinders. I am still on it. 1:31:58.640 --> 1:32:00.479 I haven't been there in years, but every time I go, 1:32:00.520 --> 1:32:01.400 it's solid sandwich. 1:32:01.439 --> 1:32:02.880 I think about it, solid lot. 1:32:03.040 --> 1:32:03.880 There's just one location. 1:32:03.920 --> 1:32:06.400 It's not a chain, no, And it's tough because there's 1:32:06.439 --> 1:32:08.720 a lot of good sandwich places in Cincinnati, thank you. 1:32:08.760 --> 1:32:10.360 And the reason why I also love it it's like 1:32:10.439 --> 1:32:12.679 six bucks. It's not that it's not that expensive, huh. 1:32:12.680 --> 1:32:16.080 Like you can get to different sizes off of Princeton 1:32:16.280 --> 1:32:19.559 Glendale Road, and the Fat Bastard is my favorite. It's 1:32:19.560 --> 1:32:22.439 the pistrami and they have euromeat and then the spicy 1:32:22.439 --> 1:32:28.600 Italian sausage, banana, Pepper's mayo. It's not dressing anything from 1:32:28.800 --> 1:32:32.200 Buffalo chicken sandwiches to club grinders, but the bread is so. 1:32:32.240 --> 1:32:33.719 Good and I think about. 1:32:33.479 --> 1:32:36.080 It good sandwich more than I probably should. Yeah, that 1:32:36.160 --> 1:32:39.200 sounds like a good pick today. Good big grinder, and 1:32:39.280 --> 1:32:42.000 you live close to there, well sort of. You know, 1:32:42.000 --> 1:32:44.559 it's funny about it. My brother, My brother actually used 1:32:44.600 --> 1:32:47.599 to live like almost across the street. We go there, like, 1:32:47.840 --> 1:32:51.120 I don't know, not a lot, but frequently. Yeah, I 1:32:51.120 --> 1:32:53.200 haven't met vaccines, but man, that's that's a good sandwich. 1:32:53.240 --> 1:32:53.360 Check. 1:32:53.400 --> 1:32:54.640 Can you do that and take a photo for me? 1:32:55.840 --> 1:32:56.120 Through you? 1:32:56.200 --> 1:32:56.800 Which the big one? 1:32:57.200 --> 1:32:57.360 Is it? 1:32:57.360 --> 1:32:58.080 The fat bastard? 1:32:58.120 --> 1:32:58.280 Is that? 1:32:58.280 --> 1:32:59.200 The fat bastard is? 1:32:59.360 --> 1:32:59.839 Yeah? 1:33:00.120 --> 1:33:01.960 Really the menu is montraous and they do salads and 1:33:02.000 --> 1:33:03.640 other stuff. But I'm I'm there and I'm not a 1:33:03.680 --> 1:33:04.360 sandwich person. 1:33:05.640 --> 1:33:07.080 A good sandwich, it's really it. 1:33:07.320 --> 1:33:08.320 I think about it a lot. 1:33:08.439 --> 1:33:10.200 I like a good club sandwich. Every once in a 1:33:10.200 --> 1:33:11.960 while it hits or I mean I just went to 1:33:11.960 --> 1:33:14.200 Blue Ash Chili this week and got a double decker. 1:33:14.320 --> 1:33:16.439 Wait, so I went into a big I had a 1:33:16.439 --> 1:33:19.000 big kerfluffle of a conversation the other day with someone 1:33:19.120 --> 1:33:20.960 was like, what's the one thing if you would eat 1:33:20.960 --> 1:33:23.200 your entire life, like if you one meal? 1:33:23.520 --> 1:33:27.280 And this person said, a turkey sandwich. Really, I'm like, 1:33:27.320 --> 1:33:29.160 that's a club I'm like, you've got to be kidding. 1:33:29.760 --> 1:33:30.719 A turkey sandwich. 1:33:30.840 --> 1:33:31.640 That's a no for me. 1:33:31.840 --> 1:33:35.080 Yeah, A good double decker those amazing you and tiffpo 1:33:37.080 --> 1:33:38.880 tell you blue as chili double decker. 1:33:38.680 --> 1:33:40.759 Is blue ash chili. That's a good nugget. 1:33:40.880 --> 1:33:42.200 Awesome double decker. 1:33:42.240 --> 1:33:42.799 It's massive. 1:33:42.920 --> 1:33:43.479 Good to know. 1:33:43.600 --> 1:33:45.320 I'm both shirt is a good one. 1:33:45.200 --> 1:33:47.599 Too, and they are opening up on pund Square. 1:33:47.680 --> 1:33:48.120 There you go. 1:33:48.240 --> 1:33:52.559 Some other really good single item stables worth checking out. 1:33:52.600 --> 1:33:55.080 I mentioned the pluma, which is a pork shoulder at 1:33:55.200 --> 1:33:59.920 h a wild weed they had, Yes, they've made had 1:34:00.120 --> 1:34:02.519 nds of being one of the top restaurants in twenty 1:34:02.560 --> 1:34:05.919 twenty five, with the chef being a James Beard finalist, 1:34:06.280 --> 1:34:08.000 But there were a couple of menu items. They have 1:34:08.040 --> 1:34:11.840 this heirloom melon salad, which you would think it would 1:34:11.840 --> 1:34:16.040 be a sweeter salad. It had this flavor profile of 1:34:16.080 --> 1:34:19.080 different like salsas and hot oils, and then it had 1:34:19.360 --> 1:34:22.120 like a goat feta cheese with it, and it was 1:34:22.960 --> 1:34:25.760 so what I saw on the plate versus what it 1:34:25.800 --> 1:34:30.400 tasted like was one of the most exquisite experiences that 1:34:30.439 --> 1:34:33.200 I've had food wise this year. It really was memorable. 1:34:33.960 --> 1:34:36.599 They've had all of their noodle dishes are really good, 1:34:36.880 --> 1:34:41.160 which then leads me to another noodle dish that sticks 1:34:41.200 --> 1:34:46.320 out in my mind from Bessie's homemade or home style noodles. 1:34:46.640 --> 1:34:50.280 And this was during Octoberfest, because you know, during Octoberfest, 1:34:50.320 --> 1:34:52.320 it's like get your classic. You got your pretzels and 1:34:52.360 --> 1:34:54.240 your brots and everything, and like, okay, a lot of 1:34:54.320 --> 1:34:57.320 them taste the same. And every year I'm thinking, what 1:34:57.640 --> 1:35:00.559 I still have not found that one dish that blows 1:35:00.640 --> 1:35:03.280 my mind and I'm excited about and I have passed 1:35:03.680 --> 1:35:06.519 up this specific spot every single year, and then of 1:35:06.560 --> 1:35:08.240 course I'm with all my chef friends and they're like, 1:35:08.360 --> 1:35:10.360 you gotta go here, gotta go all right, and it 1:35:10.479 --> 1:35:12.839 still sticks with me and you can buy it online. 1:35:12.920 --> 1:35:13.240 Okay. 1:35:13.320 --> 1:35:16.400 It's based out of Fairborne, Ohio. Shout out to Bessie's 1:35:16.400 --> 1:35:20.040 Home Style noodles. Really good, So putting that one up. 1:35:20.080 --> 1:35:20.559 There is a. 1:35:20.439 --> 1:35:23.639 Memorable dish, all right, of fried deviled eggs from Bees 1:35:23.720 --> 1:35:26.639 Barbecue in OTR. I just thought that was really different. 1:35:27.200 --> 1:35:31.120 And cocktails, because we're gonna talk cocktails, bars restaurants. The 1:35:31.160 --> 1:35:36.400 pistachio Martini still takes takes the w for for knowledge bar. 1:35:36.840 --> 1:35:39.520 I usually don't like super super sweet cocktails. 1:35:39.960 --> 1:35:40.559 You just do it right. 1:35:40.600 --> 1:35:42.720 I always hated Martini's and then as I got older, 1:35:42.720 --> 1:35:44.240 I think your palette develops. I'm like, oh, I like 1:35:44.280 --> 1:35:46.599 the blue cheese dirty Martina. That's pretty good one. Once 1:35:46.600 --> 1:35:50.320 in a while an occasional Michelle actually made her own 1:35:50.439 --> 1:35:54.680 espresso vodka things. She says, she it's a pretty good 1:35:54.760 --> 1:35:57.439 espresso martini cocktails. I don't mind those, but I'm an 1:35:57.640 --> 1:36:00.320 I'm absolutely a nut for pistachio, so oh, that is 1:36:00.360 --> 1:36:01.040 one I would try. 1:36:01.160 --> 1:36:03.400 Oh and it's a little it's like creamy or two 1:36:03.680 --> 1:36:06.960 were deserved. It is better than eggnog. 1:36:08.400 --> 1:36:11.040 So I would throw a little bit of a throw 1:36:11.080 --> 1:36:13.719 all that together, and then some other things that stick 1:36:13.760 --> 1:36:16.879 out for this year because I'm a big coffee coffee 1:36:16.880 --> 1:36:21.160 shop dweller now that I'm doing my own thing. Favorite 1:36:21.160 --> 1:36:22.920 coffee shop this year that I've come across that I've 1:36:22.920 --> 1:36:25.559 really enjoyed is Fulton Yards. Mentioned that at the top 1:36:25.600 --> 1:36:30.479 they do this indoor outdoor vibe and they have their 1:36:30.600 --> 1:36:33.519 lattes are incredible. They do a good macha, but they 1:36:33.520 --> 1:36:36.720 also switch over to cocktails in the evening. But they 1:36:36.760 --> 1:36:40.000 really actually care about their cocktails and they do full 1:36:40.080 --> 1:36:44.320 menus every single month and every season. As I mentioned holidays, 1:36:44.320 --> 1:36:46.519 they do right now they're doing a vanilla winter fig 1:36:46.520 --> 1:36:49.800 they have an amaretto eggnog spritz. They're doing like a 1:36:49.840 --> 1:36:53.800 gingerbread gin flip, North Pole peppermint martini, and a whole 1:36:53.800 --> 1:36:57.400 bunch more. But they also do live music and trivia 1:36:57.439 --> 1:37:00.519 on Tuesdays, different things to kind of keep it lively. Gotcha, 1:37:01.240 --> 1:37:02.800 But the vibes are good and you can also watch 1:37:02.840 --> 1:37:03.479 the games there. 1:37:04.680 --> 1:37:07.800 So it's a Fulton Yards and then the standard for brunch. 1:37:07.479 --> 1:37:09.320 I will throw in and off my list. Let's go 1:37:09.920 --> 1:37:13.920 one on one Craft Kitchen in Deerfield, Mason. It's phenomenal. 1:37:14.920 --> 1:37:17.640 One okay, so one one craft. It is a I 1:37:17.640 --> 1:37:19.400 went to bar. It's kind of rusticky on the inside, 1:37:19.400 --> 1:37:23.400 but cocktails are really strong. The food is absolutely incredible. 1:37:23.800 --> 1:37:25.120 Was that just what that we went to that one 1:37:25.120 --> 1:37:25.960 time a long time? 1:37:25.960 --> 1:37:26.200 All? 1:37:26.880 --> 1:37:29.080 Or no? No, they just opened not long ago. 1:37:29.600 --> 1:37:31.320 It's there, fifty West is right there, so it's in 1:37:31.320 --> 1:37:33.519 that whole new development that door thing. 1:37:33.920 --> 1:37:34.080 Uh. 1:37:34.080 --> 1:37:36.679 But everything on the menu is phenomenal, great, great burgers 1:37:36.680 --> 1:37:39.439 and sandwiches, even like I had of the summer. I 1:37:39.479 --> 1:37:41.240 had a salad and it was phenomenal, the best sell 1:37:41.280 --> 1:37:42.840 I ever had. So everything is good. 1:37:42.960 --> 1:37:47.080 Well being over there, the Dorothy Lane. That's probably the 1:37:47.960 --> 1:37:49.080 grave about it. 1:37:49.200 --> 1:37:50.759 It was pretty good. You spend a lot of money. 1:37:50.760 --> 1:37:52.400 But I gotta be honest with you. I'm a convert. 1:37:52.439 --> 1:37:53.599 I love me some Dorothy Lane. 1:37:53.680 --> 1:37:55.800 So what is My mom talks about this all the time. 1:37:55.880 --> 1:37:57.800 She loves Dorothy Lane. What is it? 1:37:57.960 --> 1:37:59.640 Quality of the food? I think it's just you're you're 1:37:59.640 --> 1:38:00.400 paying more. 1:38:00.439 --> 1:38:03.240 But it's like the service, like even a checkout for example, 1:38:03.320 --> 1:38:05.080 Like the quality of all the food is amazing. They 1:38:05.120 --> 1:38:06.759 make it right in front of you can get whatever, 1:38:06.840 --> 1:38:08.479 and it's things you can't find everywhere else if you're 1:38:08.479 --> 1:38:10.479 a foodie. But I think it's also just like you 1:38:10.560 --> 1:38:13.840 feel like it's not the big box thing because even 1:38:13.840 --> 1:38:15.800 when you go to check out, you don't touch your 1:38:15.840 --> 1:38:18.679 own cart. You give it to the bagger, the guy 1:38:19.240 --> 1:38:20.760 checking you out, and they do it. It's not on 1:38:20.840 --> 1:38:22.240 your you know, the carts usual on your side, and 1:38:22.280 --> 1:38:23.720 you take it out, they take it all. 1:38:26.560 --> 1:38:26.720 Yeah. 1:38:26.760 --> 1:38:29.680 Yeah, So it's a different anyway. Dorothy Lay Market is solid, solid. 1:38:29.840 --> 1:38:31.200 All in line of Publics. 1:38:31.240 --> 1:38:35.040 You know, apparently Publics has killer Sandwich's, the Public's in Florida. 1:38:35.080 --> 1:38:37.240 But it's again, it's more I think it's just more 1:38:37.360 --> 1:38:40.600 of a boutique type of grocery store. I feel a 1:38:40.640 --> 1:38:44.200 little smaller, but the selection and neat seafood and the 1:38:44.240 --> 1:38:47.920 cooked food, everything is the best produce probably outside of 1:38:47.960 --> 1:38:53.160 maybe a farmer's market. Line up with your jungles is big. 1:38:53.160 --> 1:38:55.360 It's it's like that on steroids. It's bigger. It's just 1:38:55.439 --> 1:38:58.479 you can't compare that took anyway, Ali Martin here, it's 1:38:58.520 --> 1:38:59.120 been a great year. 1:38:59.160 --> 1:39:01.559 Thanks again, appreciate it, he me again. 1:39:01.640 --> 1:39:04.599 Great Christmas, Happy New Year, all that stuff, and we'll 1:39:04.640 --> 1:39:07.719 talk again next year's fight club. Let's go to club. 1:39:07.760 --> 1:39:10.080 Let's let's go to fight club. I want to get 1:39:10.120 --> 1:39:12.919 a fight, ending it with a correction and a retraction. 1:39:13.040 --> 1:39:15.280 I love it. There you go slowly seven hundred w 1:39:15.360 --> 1:39:15.960 And since that
