Speaker 1: Here we are. We've made it to a Friday. Jack
Speaker 1: Crumley has got news in about twenty three minutes. He
Speaker 1: is giddy, giddy with the news of people getting passes
Speaker 1: for bizarre behavior and commuted sentences and everything else. We'll
Speaker 1: get into the weirdness of New York and world politics
Speaker 1: a bit later. How you doing It's sterling, mister Waddell
Speaker 1: in charge keeping me online on screening calls and producing tonight.
Speaker 1: A lot of ground to cover on this fine Friday.
Speaker 1: The weekend is here. We will talk to Amoe Egger
Speaker 1: a little bit later about the nine thirty five give
Speaker 1: or take about the hood ay, the improbability of Joe
Speaker 1: Flacco from Joe's Toe to Joe Flacco in a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks of in between because it just didn't work out.
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, people's attitude, the way
Speaker 1: they walk, the tone, the energy of Bengals world is
Speaker 1: totally different. It just is. And here we are leading
Speaker 1: our way towards Halloween and the stuff that scares us.
Speaker 1: I have friends with kids that have been looking forward
Speaker 1: to this Friday night, this weekend to get out and
Speaker 1: some haunted places, scary stuff, taking tours in and around
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and elsewhere, on top of just all the other
Speaker 1: good stuff to do. Kevin Carr, by the way, gonna
Speaker 1: Jona's talking about the new phone booth too, movie and
Speaker 1: some other stuff that scares us as well. So I
Speaker 1: appreciate you being along. I want to start with something
Speaker 1: that is Oh, there's also no King protests tomorrow. A
Speaker 1: lot of people excited about that or angry about that.
Speaker 1: I guess pick a side depending on how that goes.
Speaker 1: And there's more shooting stuff downtown. Cincinnati's vibrant downtown, exciting,
Speaker 1: lots of stuff going on, lots of stuff to do,
Speaker 1: great food, entertainment options. It was hopping last night Thursday
Speaker 1: day night football, the big wide out at Pey Corps
Speaker 1: and the Bengals with the big win over the Steelers
Speaker 1: last night, which you heard here on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: They continued talk of well, maybe they'll punt, they'll fire
Speaker 1: the police chief, because really the police chief is clearly
Speaker 1: the problem. In the midst of everything, I want to
Speaker 1: open up the phones, give you a chance to sound
Speaker 1: off on a just really your vibe, a pulse of
Speaker 1: the tri State right now five three, seven, four, nine,
Speaker 1: eight hundred the big Win. The iHeartRadio app. You can
Speaker 1: click on that microphone and leave a message there on
Speaker 1: the talkback. I'm also on exer Twitter at Sterling Radio.
Speaker 1: So this is an ongoing, never ending question that has
Speaker 1: probably been in place since the beginning of society as
Speaker 1: we know it. People go, Okay, it's the police. Get
Speaker 1: rid of the police chief because there's a violent crime
Speaker 1: and idiots doing idiotic things and victimizing people in and
Speaker 1: around Cincinnati, all over the country, all over the world
Speaker 1: for that met And then people go, okay, well, it's
Speaker 1: the police chief, or it's the mayor, because I regularly
Speaker 1: see a mayor of a city out on the street
Speaker 1: going after criminals. So I don't know. Then you got
Speaker 1: a city manager actually is the person who's capable of
Speaker 1: firing a police chief. I do know. That's how Cincinnati works.
Speaker 1: And that was something from a vote some years ago
Speaker 1: which has gotten some attention as of late. And reinforcement
Speaker 1: and alteration to curfews and kids downtown, let's start there.
Speaker 1: If you've got teenagers downtown smoking weed out in the open,
Speaker 1: running around, I would say that curfew or no curfew,
Speaker 1: legal weed or otherwise, you're not supposed to smoke it
Speaker 1: in public. You got to be smarter than that. Get
Speaker 1: some gummies, get some edibles, get a beverage that would
Speaker 1: be an adult beverage, and you know, handle your business.
Speaker 1: But instead, instead they go, we're going to go after them. Now, well, yeah, obviously,
Speaker 1: what are the what are the solutions? What is the causation?
Speaker 1: I'm going to go down the list. Better policing that
Speaker 1: is that the need, because you know, I've had all
Speaker 1: these people talk to me and they tell me, they say, sterling,
Speaker 1: the cops aren't doing their job. The cops say that
Speaker 1: they feel like their job doesn't matter because they're not
Speaker 1: getting backed up by the bench, the courts, the jury system,
Speaker 1: the criminal justice system in general, and the people got
Speaker 1: to take some responsibility for themselves and what they do
Speaker 1: and how they handle themselves. Do they not. If you
Speaker 1: make a shoddy product and it is your child that
Speaker 1: is a shoddy product that is out there victimizing the
Speaker 1: general population, they need to be handled. And parents need
Speaker 1: to be handled for their minor children in some fashion
Speaker 1: for not controlling them and handling them. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just that simple. And police need to go out there
Speaker 1: and enforce the laws that are on the books, and
Speaker 1: they need to be respectful about it, and they need
Speaker 1: to treat people with respect and dignity. And people who
Speaker 1: are out there engaged with law enforcement, it's obvious what
Speaker 1: they need to do. If the coppa pulls you over,
Speaker 1: be respectful. Let your hands be seen on that steering wheel.
Speaker 1: Put that if it's out at night, turned that light
Speaker 1: on the overhead up so cops know what they're walking into.
Speaker 1: And yes, sir, no, sir, be respectful, right, And if
Speaker 1: they are on the street and going after bad guys
Speaker 1: and that are doing bad things, then they get them
Speaker 1: locked up. Prosecutors press charges, court proceedings take place. You
Speaker 1: don't the thing that I can't wrap my brain around.
Speaker 1: And maybe I'm not smart enough, but if you've got
Speaker 1: violent offenders, you don't turn them back up onto the street,
Speaker 1: especially kids in that situation apparently to go do it
Speaker 1: again and again and again in the midst of waiting
Speaker 1: for a court appearance, or in fact, if in fact
Speaker 1: they've been convicted to do you know, back out and
Speaker 1: do it again without doing time or otherwise. I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm missing something. By the way. A Henny A. Suarez,
Speaker 1: former Red Big Grand Slam helping the Mariners take a
Speaker 1: three to two lead in this American League Championship Series.
Speaker 1: That game just wrapping up, so win for them next
Speaker 1: up and then they're onto the World Series and Dodgers
Speaker 1: making quick and easy work it seems of the Brewers,
Speaker 1: which seems somewhat shocking and somewhat surprising to me. But
Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. It'd be nice to see
Speaker 1: Dodgers and Mariners. That'd be a great matchup. I want
Speaker 1: to step back in and give you a chance to
Speaker 1: sound off, because I ranted and rambled and laid out
Speaker 1: a bunch of problems that are being dealt with in
Speaker 1: the streets of Cincinnati, as they are in the streets
Speaker 1: of cities across this country and generally. And I've been lucky.
Speaker 1: I mean, I grew up in dating and spend a
Speaker 1: lot of time Cincinnati, moved around, have lived in Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: going back to the first time living here in the
Speaker 1: mid nineties, ended up behind this microphone after being at
Speaker 1: another radio station that became Kiss, which was Channel Z
Speaker 1: was there and things haven't really changed, and the real
Speaker 1: basic nature of things from then to now or in
Speaker 1: history in general. Right if bad people are doing bad things.
Speaker 1: You want to try to intervene early, especially if they're young,
Speaker 1: and get them back on the right track. And that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean not punishing them for bad behavior illegal behavior.
Speaker 1: It means trying to rehabilitate, which then leads to the
Speaker 1: juvenile justice system and how our prisons and jail system work,
Speaker 1: which is housing people who are often either become victimized
Speaker 1: while they're in there, or they get themselves a degree
Speaker 1: in higher education and criminal behavior while they're in the
Speaker 1: jail or the prison system. Also, especially if they're young,
Speaker 1: you want to have an intervention and try to avoid
Speaker 1: that particular pathway because long term, when they get back out,
Speaker 1: re offense or recivitism is a major problem. And it
Speaker 1: has been discussed for months and months and months by police,
Speaker 1: by the administration of Cincinnati, by experts in the science
Speaker 1: as much as there is a science of criminal justice
Speaker 1: and behavior and social like stuff. They say that you know,
Speaker 1: you got crime, you got desperation, economic issues, social issues,
Speaker 1: you got parents not being involved, you got not enough God,
Speaker 1: pick a faith of choice, whatever it is, a higher power.
Speaker 1: You know, my biggest thing coming up was not wanting
Speaker 1: to disappoint my family. I also never had in me
Speaker 1: the want of the desire to go victimize somebody else
Speaker 1: for profit or for entertainment. That's a disconnect some people have,
Speaker 1: whether it's genetic, whether that's learned behavior, whether that's something
Speaker 1: they've fallen into by the wrong crowd. And you are
Speaker 1: who you hang out with generally, So that goes into parenting.
Speaker 1: That means going to school and showing up and being
Speaker 1: ready to do the work and having parents get those
Speaker 1: kids ready to learn as well. But I mean, do
Speaker 1: you blame the police for not doing the job. Do
Speaker 1: you blame the courts for not doing their job? Do
Speaker 1: you believe the jail, the juvenile justice, lock up situation
Speaker 1: or home imprisonment, home, stay, whatever it is, put an
Speaker 1: ankle monitor on and just stay at home until your
Speaker 1: core proceedings or whatever else? Who do you blame? Since
Speaker 1: we're all about the blame game, and that's all we
Speaker 1: do is here about pointing the finger. It's the liberal
Speaker 1: this or the conservative that. We're all just people and
Speaker 1: at some point you got to own and handle your
Speaker 1: responsibility for what you do. And these people you know,
Speaker 1: leaving shooting it people down town, in cars, in restaurants,
Speaker 1: you name it. I don't spend as much time as
Speaker 1: I used to when I lived in East Walnut Hills.
Speaker 1: I was downtown a couple of nights a week, couple
Speaker 1: of days a week, riding my bike, having a good time.
Speaker 1: But I will tell you it feels more comfortable and
Speaker 1: safer now than it did in the late nineties early
Speaker 1: two thousands. For what it's worth, somebody who's a victim
Speaker 1: of crime probably doesn't necessarily have that same feeling, certainly,
Speaker 1: And I'll often say, again what has been espoused by
Speaker 1: many others. I did not coin this phrase, but it's
Speaker 1: true for the most part. Not a whole lot goods
Speaker 1: going down after midnight. And if you're a mier child
Speaker 1: and you're not working on a job of some sort
Speaker 1: like I used to be at fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years old,
Speaker 1: sometimes working until midnight one two in the morning, whether
Speaker 1: it was at a concert venue, entertainment venue, or when
Speaker 1: I was working at a minigolf putt putt or a
Speaker 1: grocery store at one time or another, shagging carts and
Speaker 1: bagging groceries and working produce. I was home. I have
Speaker 1: no other business to be out. You got kids out
Speaker 1: there running around acting like idiots and morons. Then they
Speaker 1: should be treated like idiots and morons, and their parents
Speaker 1: not keeping track of them, should be treated like idiots
Speaker 1: and morons because they've created a defective product. And if
Speaker 1: the cops aren't doing their job, on to the next one.
Speaker 1: Let's get more. And if the you know, the those
Speaker 1: that are on the bench, the judges aren't doing their job,
Speaker 1: on to the next one. We go. What are the answers?
Speaker 1: What are the questions? I'm filled with them? What do
Speaker 1: you have? It's a Friday night. We'll get to other
Speaker 1: stuff that's fearing in loathing and phobias in the holiday season,
Speaker 1: that is scary upon us in Halloween all before Mowagger
Speaker 1: and Kevin Carr joining me, talking Bengals and Bearcats and
Speaker 1: new movies and a whole lot more with you five three, seven, four, nine, seven,
Speaker 1: eight hundred. The big one is get to Deer Park,
Speaker 1: Sean real quick before the break and room for you
Speaker 1: on a Friday night, sterling on seven hundred wulw Sean,
Speaker 1: what's up? Got it? I can't no, Yeah, you can't
Speaker 1: do that. I mean it's you wait all that time
Speaker 1: about work and which you can't do that. It's a
Speaker 1: wholesome family show. Quick break, We'll regroup, come back, give
Speaker 1: you a chance to get interactive. Five one, three, seven
Speaker 1: four nine, seven thousand, eight hundred The Big One. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry I wasn't all jokes and fun. I know it's Friday.
Speaker 1: I should be light and talking about the joy of
Speaker 1: having one of the most prolific liars and politics out
Speaker 1: there back on the streets thanks to a presidential power,
Speaker 1: which we'll get into a bit later as well. It's
Speaker 1: Friday night. Glad you're along the nation station. What you're
Speaker 1: listening to? Seven hundred WULW nine first warning forecast on
Speaker 1: the Big One Friday night got to fifty five tomorrow,
Speaker 1: rain late, but low eighties for Saturday. It's not too
Speaker 1: bad as we are in the back end of October
Speaker 1: at this point, sixties back to a more seasonable temperature
Speaker 1: Sunday and Monday, and we need more rain. And I
Speaker 1: heard Lance earlier complaining about having to not mow his
Speaker 1: lawn for weeks, and then Naw's had to mow. He's
Speaker 1: like a two a week mowing stretch. And I know
Speaker 1: exactly what he's thinking. I'm thinking next year, I may
Speaker 1: embrace the goats because I think they would do a
Speaker 1: good job. I'd like to get the fainting goats, and
Speaker 1: then the fainting goats you can have occasionally faint for
Speaker 1: entertainment purposes, but then they would serve a purpose also
Speaker 1: of keeping the yard straight. I don't know if the
Speaker 1: neighbors would mind, but I've got neighbors with chickens at
Speaker 1: this point, within a walk of about a mile, there's
Speaker 1: like five different houses that have a variety of chickens,
Speaker 1: and people were offering to give me eggs. So I
Speaker 1: guess there's a high side. If I have goats, I
Speaker 1: could then loan them out for other people to take
Speaker 1: care of their launch. So I mean, I'm thinking ahead
Speaker 1: right now. It's a ball ME sixty one. You're severe
Speaker 1: Weather Station seven hundred wl W, Glad you're along. Bengals
Speaker 1: huge win, surprising when in many cases for a lot
Speaker 1: of people, including the Steelers, were shocked. And I loved it.
Speaker 1: Thursday Night football a big wide out pay corps and
Speaker 1: you heard it here on seven hundred WLW. Bengals handling
Speaker 1: business Joe Flacco under center from one Joe who had
Speaker 1: a toe issue to Joe Flacco who's four centuries in sorry,
Speaker 1: four decades in not centuries, maybe four hundred years old
Speaker 1: football time. But he's moving around like a twenty five
Speaker 1: thirty year old out back there, just calm and cool
Speaker 1: and collective and just handling his business. The big win
Speaker 1: for the WHO day yesterday Bearcats in action at Oklahoma
Speaker 1: State tomorrow. They are ranked twenty fourth in the country.
Speaker 1: Looked to better their situation in the Big twelve. We'll
Speaker 1: talk to Moegger about that after your nine to thirty report.
Speaker 1: I don't know that somebody send me this. I find
Speaker 1: this hard to believe. Apparently lays potato chips. So, by
Speaker 1: the way, I'm not getting any money to talk about this.
Speaker 1: They had gone away from calling their chips potato chips.
Speaker 1: They just called them like chips in different times. You know,
Speaker 1: you get like a ruffle or you know, wavy or whatever.
Speaker 1: Now apparently they're bringing back the term potato chips to
Speaker 1: let people actually know they come from potatoes, which then
Speaker 1: leads me to like a whole bunch of stuff that
Speaker 1: people maybe don't realize is actually what stuff is or
Speaker 1: something which is very weird to me. I mean, what
Speaker 1: else would the chips come from? I mean, really, if
Speaker 1: not potatoes. It's it's just odd. I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: not like being sent out into the woods when I
Speaker 1: was a tiny sterling to go snipe hunting with, you know,
Speaker 1: the relatives and kids in the neighborhood with a flashlight
Speaker 1: and a bag into the woods at night, looking up
Speaker 1: into the trees for some creature that is non existent,
Speaker 1: you know. But potato chip a chip. Who doesn't know?
Speaker 1: And they be some one hundred years that they've been
Speaker 1: around aside from getting rid of all you know, artificial
Speaker 1: colors and some flavors and everything else, pretty basic stuff.
Speaker 1: And we certainly got some local chip companies that do
Speaker 1: you know, a Grippo's obviously up in date, and there's
Speaker 1: like Mike Sell's, and I mean they're both strong and
Speaker 1: do what they do. I just who does not. I
Speaker 1: almost think that this is like made up somebody. People
Speaker 1: didn't realize that there were like potato, they were potato chips.
Speaker 1: That that's where they come from, is the potato. I mean,
Speaker 1: what do you think fries come from? If you get fries,
Speaker 1: they come from potatoes, French fried potatoes. It's in the name.
Speaker 1: Maybe there are some things that we didn't realize with
Speaker 1: what they were. I mean, like a slushy generally comes
Speaker 1: from iced like sugar water or something like that. It's
Speaker 1: a beverage of that type. Chips tend to come from potatoes,
Speaker 1: if not corn. If it's a corn chip, hence corn chip,
Speaker 1: potato chip. And a guy who knows from chips, but
Speaker 1: more from news, I would imagine is of course, our
Speaker 1: award winning news director Jack Krumley. He's got your nine
Speaker 1: thirty report. Thank you are welcome. I mean you'd have
Speaker 1: plaques on the wall. You knew that potato chips or
Speaker 1: chips were from potato. I mean unless otherwise indicated. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: apparently that we are in the minority. I did not realize.
Speaker 1: I know, I did read the Little Old Bus, but
Speaker 1: that's five high schools. That happens. Jack has news. I'll
Speaker 1: come back. We'll talk to Moager. He knows chips come
Speaker 1: from potatoes, unless otherwise notified, I would think, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I have so many questions. It's a Friday sterling seven hundred.
Speaker 1: Ww Hey, how you doing nice? Friday night? The Trinday
Speaker 1: big win last night down by the river, Moegar I
Speaker 1: heard him and Lance and Rocky getting everybody ready for
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football, and we went from Joe's toe to
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco a couple of weeks in between of wow,
Speaker 1: we can't believe how that worked out, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we thought of Bengals team that was
Speaker 1: down and out seems right back in at Moe. How
Speaker 1: are you thank you for making time? I know you're
Speaker 1: a busy dude. And how great was last night?
Speaker 2: It was?
Speaker 3: It was awesome? That is That is one of the
Speaker 3: best football games I've ever been to, one of the
Speaker 3: best sporting events I've ever been to. You know, it's
Speaker 3: always great when the Bengals beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, but
Speaker 3: when the Bengals can beat the Pittsburgh Steelers and sort
Speaker 3: of reignite their season at least we hope they do it,
Speaker 3: it makes it doubly special. That was a great win
Speaker 3: for the Bengals last night and a lot of fun
Speaker 3: for those of us who who root for him.
Speaker 1: It's been a and I think I went out and
Speaker 1: tweeted and then or on X whatever you want to
Speaker 1: call it, and people complain to me because I think I
Speaker 1: said it was eight or nine days in between with
Speaker 1: Flaco from a loss to a one and one record
Speaker 1: with a win in a turnaround. I don't know how
Speaker 1: many days it actually was, but it seemed like literally
Speaker 1: a blink of an eye in just amazing for him
Speaker 1: to come in and seems so calm, cool, collective and
Speaker 1: effective working with a corps of offensive weapons that is,
Speaker 1: I mean hard to argue if there's anything better out
Speaker 1: there in the NFL. I mean, how amazing was it there?
Speaker 1: Didn't even look plunky last night at all, really, even
Speaker 1: where there might have been a couple of crossups.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he showed you why they prioritized him right,
Speaker 3: because you were looking for with somebody who could get
Speaker 3: up to Steve quickly. You know, they to me, the
Speaker 3: idea that you were going to acquire a quarterback after
Speaker 3: Jake Browning was so bad in those three starts that
Speaker 3: you were going to acquire a quarterback and have him
Speaker 3: sit for a week or two and continue with Jake
Speaker 3: Browning made no sense. You needed to make a change instantly,
Speaker 3: and in order to do that, you needed somebody who
Speaker 3: you knew was going to be a quick study, who
Speaker 3: you knew was going to be able to make the
Speaker 3: offense function almost instantly. And you know, I thought they
Speaker 3: won the game last night in part on Sunday, because
Speaker 3: I thought that game against the Packers, to me, I
Speaker 3: viewed that as a preseason game. Okay, they're fourteen and
Speaker 3: a half point dogs on the road playing arrested team.
Speaker 3: They're probably not going to go there and win with
Speaker 3: a quarterback who just got in tout on Tuesday night.
Speaker 3: But if they could use that game to get him
Speaker 3: some reps, to get him some game reps with the
Speaker 3: guys he's going to be throwing to, to help him
Speaker 3: get some in game experience with that offense, then you
Speaker 3: could hopefully apply that to the game against Pittsburgh. And
Speaker 3: I thought that's exactly what happened. You saw a QB
Speaker 3: against Green Bay who did pick up the offense quickly
Speaker 3: and who I think understood the assignment, which was, I've
Speaker 3: got Jamar Chase and T Higgins to throw to. Those
Speaker 3: dudes are going to be open, I'm gonna throw them
Speaker 3: the ball. Jake Browning couldn't do that. That's why they
Speaker 3: went and got Joe Flaco. He did that in that
Speaker 3: second half against Green Bay, and so to me, what
Speaker 3: they did last night against Pittsburgh was just an extension
Speaker 3: of that. Now, It helped that they ran the ball effectively.
Speaker 3: Chase Brown average d nearly ten yards to carry. It
Speaker 3: helped that the pass protection was pretty decent all things considered.
Speaker 3: There were some things that happened around Joe Flacco that
Speaker 3: certainly helped. But at the end of the day, if
Speaker 3: you have a quarterback who knows the offense and has
Speaker 3: guys like Jamar and t to throw to have a
Speaker 3: decent chance of success. And I think the fun part
Speaker 3: now is with you know, a chance not playing this weekend,
Speaker 3: a chance for everybody to kind of catch their breath.
Speaker 3: It's it's fun to think about what this offense can
Speaker 3: do over the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say so. Talking to Moegger ESPN fifteen thirty
Speaker 1: here seven hundred WLW on a Friday, Stirling, how bizarre
Speaker 1: of a trade was that? AFC North Up seventy one Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin talked about it. I mean, he knows what
Speaker 1: Flacco can do. I mean, who doesn't in I mean
Speaker 1: how bewildering. I mean you're in and around pay corps.
Speaker 1: You talk to this stuff every day. I mean I do,
Speaker 1: but not publicly. And I mean it is mostly the
Speaker 1: voices in my head and my neighbors. But I mean,
Speaker 1: just an unbelievable move by the Bengals to do that,
Speaker 1: completely out of character and like you said, completely shook
Speaker 1: the building back into a place of competitive Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean you had to get the Cleveland Browns to
Speaker 3: agree to help you, which, I'll be honest with you,
Speaker 3: was surprising to me, and I think it was surprising
Speaker 3: to Mike Tomlin. And look, Mike Tomlin had some things
Speaker 3: to say about the Browns trading a quarterback of the
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bengals, and I understand that.
Speaker 2: Like if you for anybody.
Speaker 3: Who watched Hard Knocks last year, which you know, they
Speaker 3: they were embedded with all four AFC North teams for
Speaker 3: the final whatever it was, six to seven games of
Speaker 3: the season, I think what you saw is Mike Tomlin
Speaker 3: leans into these AFC North rivalries. And I could understand
Speaker 3: from that perspective. Forget him not wanting to play against
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco. I could understand him looking at the going
Speaker 3: wait a minute, you're helping out your rival. You're giving
Speaker 3: your rival a lifeline, You're giving your rival a bailout.
Speaker 3: If I was a Brown fan, right, and I go, Okay,
Speaker 3: Mike team's not very good, but at least the Bengals
Speaker 3: aren't very good either. I'd be going, wait a minute,
Speaker 3: we're helping out the Cincinnati Bengals. This isn't like helping
Speaker 3: out I don't know, the Dallas Cowboys and the New
Speaker 3: York Giants or the Green Bay Packers. This is helping
Speaker 3: out a blood rival. And so yeah, I think from
Speaker 3: that perspective, there's a reason why you don't see that
Speaker 3: many trades in the NFL occur between teams in the
Speaker 3: same division because they don't want to help out their
Speaker 3: intra division rival. They don't want to play against guys
Speaker 3: that they may trade to another team. And so yeah,
Speaker 3: my first take when I saw last Tuesday was holy crap.
Speaker 3: The Bengals and Browns made a trade with each other,
Speaker 3: and the Bengals, who are desperate, were just handed a
Speaker 3: lifeline by a traditional rival. That's not the sort of
Speaker 3: thing that happens all the time.
Speaker 1: No, it's extremely irregular. And next up, of course, they
Speaker 1: get a little extra time off after a very short
Speaker 1: week and a quick turnaround with a new Joe Flacco
Speaker 1: in the building, and obviously we see that he's calm, cool,
Speaker 1: collective and ready to work. And these guys seem to
Speaker 1: gel that they've got some time actually to practice together
Speaker 1: and take a break and maybe get a little healthier,
Speaker 1: lick their owns a little bit, just because it is
Speaker 1: not an easy game. The Jets come in a week
Speaker 1: from Sunday, and they're over the season at this point,
Speaker 1: which the Jets fans urge. I mean, Man boomeris eisen
Speaker 1: and all those people up there have got to be
Speaker 1: out of their mind. I've got friends that were Jets
Speaker 1: fans and as much as the Bengals fan and are
Speaker 1: better living through lowered expectations for so long, though, Jets
Speaker 1: fans are in a whole nother world of pain.
Speaker 3: Yeah right now. The longest non playoffs non playoffs rout
Speaker 3: in the NFL belongs to the New York Jets. They
Speaker 3: haven't made the postseason since twenty ten. They've cycled through coaches,
Speaker 3: they've cycled through quarterbacks, They've had Aaron Rodgers. For one
Speaker 3: reason or another, nothing has worked. Aaron Glenn is their
Speaker 3: head coach. And you know, he was with the Detroit
Speaker 3: Lions as their defensive coordinator last season for the last
Speaker 3: couple of years, and he is inherited I think a
Speaker 3: talented team in many respects that their best players haven't
Speaker 3: played very well. Justin Fields has been given a third
Speaker 3: op opportunity to prove he could be a starting quarterback
Speaker 3: in this league and hasn't taken the most advantage of it.
Speaker 3: I think when the schedule came out, this is one
Speaker 3: of those games you looked at and said, this is
Speaker 3: one where the Bengals should win. Now, with the way
Speaker 3: the season is unfolded to this point, you absolutely must
Speaker 3: win this game. You have to beat bad opponents in
Speaker 3: your own building, especially when you have a little bit
Speaker 3: of a rest advantage. And the Bengals are going to
Speaker 3: have that next Sunday.
Speaker 1: That's wild. I mean, they get the Bears after that,
Speaker 1: a bye week, then they get the Steelers again within
Speaker 1: a month, turnaround at their place in the Burg, which
Speaker 1: is always interesting. Talking to Moegor ESPN fifteen thirty here,
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW. You hear him all the time everywhere.
Speaker 1: Can we shift gears? Is there anything else Bengals related?
Speaker 1: I mean, I could talk about this all night, but
Speaker 1: you have things to do, Other people have stuff to do.
Speaker 1: And there's a huge Bear cast game tomorrow too, which
Speaker 1: I know you're aware of.
Speaker 3: I am. I'm actually in Oklahoma City as we speak,
Speaker 3: sitting next to the Great Tony Pike, and we are
Speaker 3: getting set for you see, in Oklahoma State tomorrow. This
Speaker 3: is a game the Bearcats absolutely should win. And if
Speaker 3: you don't believe me, look at the point spread. Cincinnati
Speaker 3: is on the road as a more than three touchdown favorite.
Speaker 3: Oklahoma State has already fired as head coach. They've lost
Speaker 3: a game this season by sixty six points. They've lost
Speaker 3: their three Big twelve games by an average of more
Speaker 3: than twenty two points. The Bearcats should win this game.
Speaker 3: I think the last time they played Okay State was
Speaker 3: here two years ago in Stillwater, and that, to me
Speaker 3: was the first time that I thought, you know what,
Speaker 3: the Bearcats aren't quite ready for the physicality and the
Speaker 3: speed of the Big twelve. I think if you go
Speaker 3: back to then and compare it to now, I think
Speaker 3: this year's UC team has big twelve guys. And maybe
Speaker 3: they don't quite have as many as Texas dech Maybe
Speaker 3: they don't have enough to compete for a league championship,
Speaker 3: but they have enough to have authored the five to
Speaker 3: one record they've put together so far. And I think
Speaker 3: They have enough to win a row game at Oklahoma
Speaker 3: State tomorrow, and if they do, they will have achieved
Speaker 3: all eligibility and from that point the season is gonna
Speaker 3: get a little bit tougher. They play Baylor next week
Speaker 3: at home, which is not going to be an easy game.
Speaker 3: They go to Utah in two weeks. The Uths have
Speaker 3: been nationally ranked this season, but Scott Sadderfield and his
Speaker 3: staff have done a really good job. I think over
Speaker 3: the last two years of it's been a slow build,
Speaker 3: but they've put together a team filled with guys who
Speaker 3: can match the speed and physicality of the Big twelve.
Speaker 3: They've ironed out some issues they had on special teams
Speaker 3: last season. They have more guys to throw two on
Speaker 3: the outside. They've got a front six on defense that
Speaker 3: I think is terrific. I am bullish on the direction
Speaker 3: of this football program. And they should win tomorrow night,
Speaker 3: and if not, everything I just said is going to
Speaker 3: go out the window.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure, talking about he is Oklahoma for Bearcats,
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. You mentioned Saderfield and a turnaround that seems
Speaker 1: monumentally fast. This whole business, and it is that now
Speaker 1: of going out recruiting guys handling the business of that,
Speaker 1: which is payment of them, in wooing them, and all
Speaker 1: the stuff that is effectively running it like a professional organization.
Speaker 1: To some extent, the landscape has changed. I'm blown away
Speaker 1: at how fast they've actually been able to build what
Speaker 1: they've built at the University of Cincinnati. Am exaggerating then
Speaker 1: or no, not entirely.
Speaker 3: You know, I think it's never been more difficult to
Speaker 3: be a first year head coach in any program because
Speaker 3: now all the players can leave, and so, as is
Speaker 3: often the case, you know, a coach takes over and
Speaker 3: the cupboard is there, and so you've got to work
Speaker 3: really hard just to cobble together a roster and recruit
Speaker 3: the players who have been a part of the program
Speaker 3: and get them to want to stay. And so I
Speaker 3: think that was a part of the dynamic in Scott's
Speaker 3: first year in twenty twenty three, even a lot of
Speaker 3: people didn't necessarily want to admit. Now I'll say that
Speaker 3: I don't think it's ever been easier to get it
Speaker 3: turned around in years two and three because of the
Speaker 3: freedom of movement that players have because you can pay them.
Speaker 3: But every program in the country with the coaching changes
Speaker 3: dealing with that with Cincinnati, you add to it moving
Speaker 3: up a level of competition, and look the Bearkats in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty, nineteen, twenty twenty. In twenty twenty one ran
Speaker 3: rough shot over the American Athletic Conference, played in the
Speaker 3: championship game three straight years, had an undefeated season in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty, had an undefeated season in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3: Put a lot of guys in the NFL, but top
Speaker 3: to bottom, the rosters in the Big twelve are better
Speaker 3: than the rosters in the American Athletic Conference. The players
Speaker 3: in the Big twelve are bigger, they're stronger, and they're faster,
Speaker 3: and so you take a coaching change and you add
Speaker 3: to it stepping up a level of competition. I think
Speaker 3: some growing pains were inevitable, and I think the second
Speaker 3: part of that is something that a lot of people
Speaker 3: didn't want to admit. You know that it was going
Speaker 3: to take some time then to get some Big twelve dudes.
Speaker 3: They've had more last year, but not nearly enough. They
Speaker 3: could use more this season. I'm not here to tell
Speaker 3: you this team is perfect. Tony and I were just
Speaker 3: talking about some of the long offensive walls they have,
Speaker 3: but at least they put a team on the field
Speaker 3: this season that when you watch them, they're not going
Speaker 3: to get overmatched by other big twelve teams. They're not
Speaker 3: going to get pushed around, and they have guys who
Speaker 3: can run with big twelve speed athletes, and so I
Speaker 3: still think they have some work to do. At the
Speaker 3: end of the day. We all remember they were five
Speaker 3: and two last year and lost their last five games,
Speaker 3: and so we're kind of at a similar juncture to
Speaker 3: where they were last season. But I think just from
Speaker 3: a roster perspective and a talent perspective, this team is
Speaker 3: better equipped to get to the second half of the
Speaker 3: season than it was last year.
Speaker 1: Well, stated Moweger. Of course, the ESPN fifteen thirty here
Speaker 1: also seven hundred WLW was sterling. You mentioned Tony Pike
Speaker 1: obviously mentioned the business of college football. This is a
Speaker 1: business in which we are involved too. This is an
Speaker 1: odd conversation and circumstance to a point you've been in
Speaker 1: the midst of living it to intimately in some fashion
Speaker 1: hearing Tony with Dan, I mean he has stepped into
Speaker 1: that role. Of course, with Jim Kelly's stepping away and
Speaker 1: then passing who we missed such a great human being
Speaker 1: in general, aside from what he brought to the program.
Speaker 1: Into the air here, Tony Pike sounds fantastic in that role.
Speaker 1: With Dan, you sound great doing what you're doing, and
Speaker 1: Dan Hord is just simply Dan Horde. How fun is
Speaker 1: it doing what you're doing in the midst of all
Speaker 1: of that, because I mean, it's fun listening to you.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, well, thanks.
Speaker 3: My role in the broadcast is minor compared to Dan
Speaker 3: and Tony. You know, Tony is obviously somebody I've watched
Speaker 3: him grow as an on air talent, and I say
Speaker 3: this he's sitting literally four feet away from me. We
Speaker 3: all hate the fact that Jim had to step aside.
Speaker 3: We were crushed late on Sunday night when we found
Speaker 3: out that he had passed. We lost an absolutely great guy,
Speaker 3: you know, somebody just completely synonymous with UC football, quintessential
Speaker 3: family man, just a rock solid dude, the first team
Speaker 3: all good guy. But when Jim stepped aside, what we
Speaker 3: all knew was we're not going to skip a feat
Speaker 3: in the analysts share because you know, Tony has been
Speaker 3: around this board for such a long time, care so
Speaker 3: much about the program. He has stepped in seamlessly. You know,
Speaker 3: obviously he's been on the sideline doing color analysts analysis
Speaker 3: on the sideline for a while, and so nobody was
Speaker 3: surprised that he stepped in and made a very smooth transition.
Speaker 3: He would be the first to tell you that number one,
Speaker 3: he had very big shoes to fill. Number two, that
Speaker 3: these were not the most ideal set of circumstances. We
Speaker 3: would all kill to have Jim with us tonight here
Speaker 3: in Oklahoma City. But nobody who has known Tony, nobody
Speaker 3: was listened to Tony, would be surprised to hear him
Speaker 3: sound as good as he has sounded. And my only
Speaker 3: hope is he has heard me say all this and
Speaker 3: now buys me a beer for my kind words.
Speaker 1: He better anyway, tell him hello, and I wish him
Speaker 1: the best, and I look forward to hearing you guys tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Thank you for making time anything else before I let
Speaker 1: you bounce. We've talked Bengals, We've talked bear cats, we
Speaker 1: talked to late great Jim Cally. I wanted to give
Speaker 1: some props and loved Tony as well, because he does.
Speaker 1: He just sounds fantastic, and I've heard him grow too,
Speaker 1: but not in close quarter working with him as you
Speaker 1: have anything else Where's Donna. I don't know who knows.
Speaker 1: She's not here with me now, so I'm all by myself. Okay.
Speaker 3: That I hear the reason I said yes to this show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear that a lot too, which kind of hurts.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've known you a minute, but that's fine.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know and you have known me a minute.
Speaker 1: If I could get away from myself, sometimes I would,
Speaker 1: but it's impossible.
Speaker 3: There's only there's there's only one person in our entire
Speaker 3: building who has run the board for you, and you're
Speaker 3: talking to him. So just keep that in March.
Speaker 1: That's true. And I had no idea what I was
Speaker 1: doing that day either that it was a real disease. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and here we are still doing it somehow. He's Mowagger
Speaker 1: hanging out in Oklahoma because you gotta be someplace in
Speaker 1: the world. He Tony Pike Dan Horde full on coverage
Speaker 1: Cincinnati football bear Cats getting at it tomorrow after or
Speaker 1: tomorrow evening and looking to make a dent at Oklahoma
Speaker 1: State in prime time. Thanks for giving us your insights,
Speaker 1: your perspective and doing what you.
Speaker 3: Do brother anything for you.
Speaker 1: Thanks man, you're a good man. He's mowagger Stirling coming
Speaker 1: back seven hundred WLW. Now it's time to be scared frightened.
Speaker 1: And I don't just mean like you know, the news
Speaker 1: of the world. I mean another world's not on fire.
Speaker 1: Everything's fine. Look out my backyard. It thinks fantastic. Kevin
Speaker 1: Carr knows everything's pretty okay too. In his world. It
Speaker 1: was a guy behind the fat guys in the movie.
Speaker 1: So the main dude. We did the Chubby and Stick
Speaker 1: podcast for a time. Now over Gecko on the substacks
Speaker 1: where you can find him. Kevin, how are you? How
Speaker 1: is everything this find Friday night?
Speaker 2: Oh, everything's going pretty good, you know, trying to trying
Speaker 2: to settle into the weekend and enjoy myself. How about you?
Speaker 1: About the same? About the same. I'm always interested when
Speaker 1: it comes to sequels, about the questions left unanswered, about
Speaker 1: the things that needed to be like solved. I mean,
Speaker 1: if there is a purpose other than just cashing in
Speaker 1: on the glory of what was hopefully a successful run
Speaker 1: at something like say Black Phone and now Black Phone two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well yeah, because it's a big sequel to
Speaker 2: a horror movie Black Phone, and now you've got the
Speaker 2: Black I think the first one was the Black Phone.
Speaker 2: This is Black Phone two. They dropped the the the
Speaker 2: out of it. Yeah, but the horror movies can be
Speaker 2: tricky and when they do sequels, because sometimes you have
Speaker 2: an ongoing thing that could work, like slasher movies. You know,
Speaker 2: Friday the thirteenth, Halloween. You well, let's not use Halloween
Speaker 2: as the sequel as a standard for sequels, but like
Speaker 2: the Friday the thirteenth movie, you can just kind of
Speaker 2: redo the movie and make minor changes throughout, and you're
Speaker 2: gonna have eight or ten of those things. The same
Speaker 2: thing with Saw. Well, yeah, because Saw did it, but
Speaker 2: then they just added so much, so many twists that
Speaker 2: just became undis confusing and didn't make a whole lot
Speaker 2: of sense. This is just the second movie of the
Speaker 2: Black Phone. If you've not seen the first one. It's
Speaker 2: actually a really quite good movie. If you've got peacock.
Speaker 2: I believe it's available on peacock right now. It's the original.
Speaker 2: In the first movie, a kid is kidnapped by the
Speaker 2: serial killer called the Grabber, and he keeps them in
Speaker 2: his basement and his sister has this sort of this
Speaker 2: psychic ability, and they're able to sort of connect up
Speaker 2: and they have to overrun him. And so they're back
Speaker 2: in this movie for the sequel, and the ghost of
Speaker 2: the serial killer is still haunting their dreams, and so
Speaker 2: they have to kind of figure out a way to
Speaker 2: put him away for good. And what's what's interesting about
Speaker 2: it is because even though I kind of had that
Speaker 2: psychic element in the first movie, it was still a
Speaker 2: little more grounded as just a basic serial killer story.
Speaker 2: This one plays a little more into the fantasy.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It's sort of like you can tell that that that
Speaker 2: there is some inspiration from Nightmare on Elm Street because
Speaker 2: things are happening in their dreams and they're communicating with
Speaker 2: this evil person in their dreams. So they take some
Speaker 2: swings and they work in this one. It doesn't always
Speaker 2: happen in our sequels. But I was actually kind of
Speaker 2: impressed that this movie had me. It kept my attention
Speaker 2: through the relatively long running time. It was almost two
Speaker 2: hours for a horror movie, which is that's that's unusual
Speaker 2: for horror movie. Most of those are like ninety minutes.
Speaker 1: When you're done talking to Kevin Carsilver, Gecko on the
Speaker 1: sub stack, the tropes, the work in horror film over
Speaker 1: the years. I mean, and you talked about like some
Speaker 1: of the major sequels of Friday the Thirteenth, you know,
Speaker 1: the Halloweens, those type of things. There are some specific
Speaker 1: anxieties and concerns even it, which is another thing rolling
Speaker 1: out soon if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 2: The prequel. Yeah, they welcome to Darry.
Speaker 1: I mean they're you know, the kids being taken, people
Speaker 1: being taken, the you know, the evil that won't die,
Speaker 1: you know, people running upstairs. What do you think are
Speaker 1: like the attraction and some of the stuff just never
Speaker 1: gets old. It's a human condition circumstance, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of it is. It's easy to sit
Speaker 2: there and watch a movie and be like, well, that's stupid.
Speaker 2: Why they do that? You know, put yourself in this
Speaker 2: position where somebody with a machete is chasing you, and
Speaker 2: you you may not make the wisest choices when you
Speaker 2: do things. Uh Like, Like people complain about the movie Prometheus,
Speaker 2: which was an alien prequel where they're they're running away
Speaker 2: from a giant spaceship falling on them, and they're like,
Speaker 2: why are they running in a straight line? It's like,
Speaker 2: because a giant spaceship is falling on them and they're panicking,
Speaker 2: that's why they do not have the ability to look
Speaker 2: at it from one hundred yards away. And and I
Speaker 2: think part of it is there's a fine line between
Speaker 2: people making goofs and foolish choices in horror movies and
Speaker 2: people just being downright stupid, And even some horror movies
Speaker 2: lean into like there's a line in Friday the Thirteenth,
Speaker 2: part eight Jason takes Manhattan where one of the guys says,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe the best thing for us to do
Speaker 2: is to split up. And it was such a corny
Speaker 2: line at the time, but they knew full well that
Speaker 2: they were kind of goofing on its own on the
Speaker 2: on those tropes because it works that way. And in
Speaker 2: real life you do stupid things as well, and we
Speaker 2: do stupid things without people chasing us all the time.
Speaker 1: I do, yeah, all the time. And I mean if
Speaker 1: you look around the news, I mean we're constantly hearing
Speaker 1: these stories of the same type of thing and reac
Speaker 1: that you're like, how and why is that possible. It's
Speaker 1: just very interesting that to touch on these anxieties and
Speaker 1: so forth, and they continue to still work. How much
Speaker 1: of it do you think when we see these because
Speaker 1: they've reinvented and redone some of these over and over
Speaker 1: and even mocked them that still had some of the fun,
Speaker 1: like scary movies, which they've done over and over too.
Speaker 1: It's a just interesting time.
Speaker 2: Scream was originally just a goof it was and in
Speaker 2: universe goofing on slasher films in itself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, which is just an amazing thing when you
Speaker 1: think about that, And then that's come back again and
Speaker 1: again too, which is pretty amazing. What does anything now
Speaker 1: work with you? I mean, because you've spent so much
Speaker 1: of your life seeing all these films for work stuff.
Speaker 1: Most of us just watch them for the sake of
Speaker 1: it and entertainment. Does anything at this point when you
Speaker 1: watch it grab you and actually shake you a little
Speaker 1: bit and get under your skin or is it just
Speaker 1: all whatever? Now?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: No, I mean, I think if you do an effectively
Speaker 2: well done horror movie in any decade, it's good. But
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes some things don't click from a cultural level,
Speaker 2: like you know, like they've done things where they've shown
Speaker 2: kids in high school the original Halloween and they're like
Speaker 2: that's not scary. I'm like, dude, it was scary in
Speaker 2: the seventies, you know. It's that kind of thing. Or
Speaker 2: even like the Exorcist. One of the things that the
Speaker 2: Exorcists that made it so unnerving for people wasn't even
Speaker 2: the exorcism part. It was all the medical tests that
Speaker 2: were doing on Reagan through the whole first part of
Speaker 2: the film and sort of how medicine is our own
Speaker 2: torture device. I mean, so it had these these themes
Speaker 2: of that, but if it's effectively done. I remember it
Speaker 2: was about a dozen years ago, a little bit more
Speaker 2: ten fifteen years ago that James Wan started really leaning
Speaker 2: into his horror roots, where he did the Insidious movies
Speaker 2: and he did the Conjuring movies, and those were I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: the are ten fifteen years old, but those are still
Speaker 2: newer movies compared to the stuff from the seventies and eighties.
Speaker 2: But he just did them effectively, and I thought that
Speaker 2: they worked out really really well.
Speaker 1: And the Conjuring thing, I mean, what is it the
Speaker 1: fourth one or fifth one that just came out.
Speaker 2: Here recently, right, I think it's the fourth one, yeah, which, yeah,
Speaker 2: but it was the biggest one of the series. It
Speaker 2: made more money. It's made more money than any of
Speaker 2: the other Conjuring movies, not adjusted port pilation of course.
Speaker 1: Well, and that rarely happens, right, I mean, they're usually
Speaker 1: is diminishing returns until they reboot them at some point. Right,
Speaker 1: you start seeing the trend in the other direction. What
Speaker 1: do you think about it that and why that seems
Speaker 1: to be something that is held on and grown.
Speaker 2: Well, I think, first of all, the Conjuring movies are
Speaker 2: for the most part, effectively well done movies. They're not
Speaker 2: the bottom of the barrel so in their quality work.
Speaker 2: And you've got good people behind it. You've got Via
Speaker 2: Fermiga and Patrick Wilson as the stars of it. And
Speaker 2: you've got James want either producing or directing or both.
Speaker 2: And so there are people who know what they're doing
Speaker 2: and people who know the hard genre. Because I've seen
Speaker 2: movies people and they maybe don't know the horror genre.
Speaker 2: But James Wan he knows, he knows horr and he's
Speaker 2: done He's done movies that are flops, Like did you
Speaker 2: ever see the movie Malignant that came out. It was
Speaker 2: a one that came out during the pandemic, but it
Speaker 2: just flopped, but it's a fantastic horror movie.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, my mom's not gonna like it,
Speaker 2: but she's not the target market for.
Speaker 1: It, right right, and my best by the way to mom,
Speaker 1: car We.
Speaker 2: Love Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm curious. Is there anything else horror genre wise?
Speaker 3: Guys?
Speaker 1: I want to skip to something else because you've got
Speaker 1: this collection of the Blockhead stuff that's coming out, and
Speaker 1: I know you've asked about that, and I'm pretty geeked
Speaker 1: up about it too, because I kind of like what
Speaker 1: you do. And that's how you show up the Silver
Speaker 1: Gecko on the sub stack with a bunch of stuff
Speaker 1: in people's mailbox.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, partly through last year, my son and I. His
Speaker 2: name is the name's Ben Carr, you know, because he's
Speaker 2: got the same last name, but he goes by Benjamin
Speaker 2: Gaza and he is a he's a visual artist, and
Speaker 2: so we created a comic strip and we put him
Speaker 2: on the internet. You can go to Silver Gecko dot
Speaker 2: substack dot com sign up for it to get sent
Speaker 2: to your mailbox. It comes up with some of my
Speaker 2: writing stuff on my movie reviews as well. But you
Speaker 2: can get the Blockheads comic strip and we just started
Speaker 2: it and kind of took off on its own, and
Speaker 2: we're having a lot of fun doing it. It's kind
Speaker 2: of evolved into these characters that we think are very
Speaker 2: funny but also a little bit edgy. So we put
Speaker 2: together a compilation book for this year to cover sort
Speaker 2: of that first year of it, and we have added
Speaker 2: some you know, background information where we got our ideas,
Speaker 2: you know, how this process works, how we work with
Speaker 2: each other. We added a whole bunch of new illustrations
Speaker 2: and doodles, some of them very benign, some of them
Speaker 2: a little bit yeah, a little bit crazy. But we
Speaker 2: just published the book on Amazon this week, so you
Speaker 2: can get it in Kindle and if you actually have
Speaker 2: a Kindle unlimited account, you can just open it up
Speaker 2: and download it for that and you just read it.
Speaker 2: You don't have to buy it. You can just use
Speaker 2: it on your subscription. It's like three bucks to just
Speaker 2: buy a Kindle version yourself. You can get it for
Speaker 2: eight bucks as a as a paperback, and we did
Speaker 2: it as a mass market sized paperback. You don't hope
Speaker 2: paperbacks have gotten bigger now. You don't have the pocketbooks anymore,
Speaker 2: the kind of things like you know, like that's the
Speaker 2: thing that could fit in the back pocket of your jeans,
Speaker 2: like literally the size of a big phone.
Speaker 1: Now, well, it's because everybody has technology. And it's right,
Speaker 1: there's a swipe, right, I mean, do people actually get
Speaker 1: much of the books of the seafield? And although I'll
Speaker 1: go to half Price Books which is just around the
Speaker 1: corner here occasionally and grab.
Speaker 2: Stuff, there's there's something there is something charming about having having,
Speaker 2: you know, something tactile in your hand. But but we
Speaker 2: put it together this way because I remember back in
Speaker 2: the day when I was a kid, you'd get like
Speaker 2: you know, Peanuts or or or Dennis the Menace or
Speaker 2: Heathcliff or any of these cartoons. And yeah, yeah, the
Speaker 2: Garfield books which were long, but you had to just
Speaker 2: the pocketbook size collection of of of cartoons. And I
Speaker 2: thought that that sort of just evoked that retro So yeah,
Speaker 2: those are available. It's really cool. It's we did a
Speaker 2: nice little mock up cover. You to go to my
Speaker 2: Twitter at Kevin Carr, which Sterling has you probably linked
Speaker 2: out to it. Yeah, one of the top two tweets
Speaker 2: is us we got a picture of the book and
Speaker 2: there's a link there where you can pick it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of cool. And what's wild for me
Speaker 1: is because we've been doing these hits on the radio
Speaker 1: and then we did the Chubby and Sticking Out. We've
Speaker 1: known each other a long time and I've been around
Speaker 1: your family a couple of times here or there, and
Speaker 1: it's wild to see the kids grow up. And then
Speaker 1: what's it like to have that relationship in that creativity
Speaker 1: working with your boy, Because that's got to be an
Speaker 1: amazing thing. I mean, you know, it's wild and the
Speaker 1: outside looking in.
Speaker 2: At that, Yeah, it's fun. I mean it's you always
Speaker 2: gotta be careful when you when you go to a
Speaker 2: project with somebody from your family, because on one hand,
Speaker 2: it's good because you know they got they're going to
Speaker 2: see you Thanksgiving, so you can always catch up with them,
Speaker 2: they can't ghost you. But on the other hand, you
Speaker 2: don't want to become contentious like a working relationship how
Speaker 2: that can be sometimes. So what I you know, we
Speaker 2: we we we found each other's we've we've found kind
Speaker 2: of how we work well together. And it's been a
Speaker 2: lot of work recently as far as getting the book
Speaker 2: put together, but it's also been a very rewarding experience
Speaker 2: because it gives me a chance to see him, gives
Speaker 2: me a chance to spend time with him when we
Speaker 2: come up with these these some of these insane goofy
Speaker 2: I mean, some of the cartoons they have very typical,
Speaker 2: good old fashioned jokes that you've seen types of those before.
Speaker 2: But we also have stuff that's really kind of out
Speaker 2: of the box and strange, and that's the kind of
Speaker 2: stuff I love putting together. And we we we just
Speaker 2: we have a run of comics that are gonna be
Speaker 2: on the substack for Christmas that I think we are
Speaker 2: taking it to the next level in terms of you know,
Speaker 2: out of the box nests. But it's it's it's a
Speaker 2: lot of fun. It's great. And he was so giddy
Speaker 2: when I had a copy of the book that I
Speaker 2: could show to him, and he was very excited.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the thing to see you feel and
Speaker 1: touch something too, as much as so much as digital
Speaker 1: now in electric anically delivered. To have that that tactile
Speaker 1: thing and to see it's something that you've made has
Speaker 1: got to be an amazing thing. So I'm thrilled for you.
Speaker 1: Hopefully people like it too. Black Phone twos we're checking
Speaker 1: out Blockheads is there at the Silver get Goo dot
Speaker 1: substack dot com. Kevin Carr, thank you for you know,
Speaker 1: gracing us with your insights, your perspective and on occasionally
Speaker 1: you take the hit for us for movies that sucks
Speaker 1: so we don't have to, which is greatly appreciated because
Speaker 1: there's only so much time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are some that there'll be another one coming
Speaker 2: up soon, I'm sure for sure.
Speaker 1: All Right, man, if yourself a great weekend. We'll catch
Speaker 1: up against soon. All right, we see you later. He's
Speaker 1: Kevin Carr. More Sterling coming back, seven hundred WLW. Glad
Speaker 1: you're long Friday night, Sterling hanging out seven hundred WLW
Speaker 1: coming up to your ten third of your report up
Speaker 1: in what's going on all over the place, including updates
Speaker 1: on one of the most lioness liars and politics if
Speaker 1: you paid attention to it. News of a commuted sentence
Speaker 1: by President Trump for George Santos, who was convicted and
Speaker 1: sentenced to like eighty seven months in prison in a
Speaker 1: two years of supervised release after being convicted of identity
Speaker 1: aggravated identity theft. I want to make sure I clarify
Speaker 1: that wire fraud and just lie after lie after lie
Speaker 1: and ripping people off and everything else, and now he
Speaker 1: doesn't have to pay anybody back. It's all been wiped
Speaker 1: away effectively, any idea of restricution, probation, supervised release, or
Speaker 1: whatever else. He's just free to go, which I mean,
Speaker 1: that's a great situation for him, and he was if
Speaker 1: nothing else I mean other than like ripping people off
Speaker 1: and stuff right, and maybe lying and being a part
Speaker 1: of like the you know, the system of which laws
Speaker 1: are made and the government works, which maybe he fits
Speaker 1: right in with all of them in the muck. If
Speaker 1: you will, entertaining I mean just entertaining, because the level
Speaker 1: of the consistency and the ridiculous, just brazen lie after
Speaker 1: lie after lie entertaining as all hell. It'd be nice
Speaker 1: if we could all in the world move around in
Speaker 1: a perfect world, to be great. And as people said
Speaker 1: things when they were full of bs and talk some trash,
Speaker 1: that there was just a bubble like in a message
Speaker 1: on your phone. It would just pop up and go
Speaker 1: bs like a BS meter, and you could see it
Speaker 1: and you could, you know, witness it, whether it's on
Speaker 1: video or if you were talking to them or watching
Speaker 1: them speak publicly or whatever. Else. I think it would
Speaker 1: be fantastic. And think of the drinking games that could
Speaker 1: be involved with lie or not a lie, bs or
Speaker 1: not bs take a drink. It would be it would
Speaker 1: be tremendous. We'll just have to wait and see. I mean,
Speaker 1: who knows, he might be able to get right back
Speaker 1: into politics again, and that would be probably fantastic for
Speaker 1: the country. I mean, really, at this point, the President
Speaker 1: said he felt that he had been mistreated and no
Speaker 1: matter what, through everything, basically voted Republican up and down
Speaker 1: the line. And that's really what he did that President
Speaker 1: Trump appreciated above all. So you know, there's that. So
Speaker 1: welcome to America. Anyone can get away with just about anything, deepending.
Speaker 1: I suppose I would like a commutation. I would like
Speaker 1: some type of get out of jail free pass kind
Speaker 1: of scenario if I ever get in trouble. We'll talk
Speaker 1: on getting into trouble. Stuff that scares us in a
Speaker 1: whole lot more after the news Friday night, Sterling ten
Speaker 1: third or report now where the hooday handled business last
Speaker 1: night on a Thursday night with Flacco under center, And
Speaker 1: tomorrow night prime time, it'll be a Cincinnati football Bearcats
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma State Big twelve action here on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: Glad you're long beautiful Friday Night. Triceay Sterling hanging out.
Speaker 1: Joe Wadell keeping me in line, producing another update. TrEPS
Speaker 1: Layer coming up about what twenty two minutes give her
Speaker 1: ten right now. Dodgers up for nothing, leading the Division
Speaker 1: Series in the National League, three games to none out
Speaker 1: of Chavez Ravine and Dodger Stadium, looking to get their
Speaker 1: way to the World Series. It's a three to two
Speaker 1: now a game situation for the Seattle Mariners. Ajuhanio A
Speaker 1: Suarez got a Grand Slam earlier former red help put
Speaker 1: them over the top. They lead three games to two,
Speaker 1: their game away from getting to the World Series. Which
Speaker 1: is a little kid playing in the backyard with a ball,
Speaker 1: you know, out in the park, not whole little league,
Speaker 1: high school, college, whatever it is. It's what kids dream
Speaker 1: of and their game out from that. And really at
Speaker 1: this point, one, two, three, six, six outs away, it
Speaker 1: looks like I think for the Dodgers, they just got
Speaker 1: to get six more outs of the Brewers and then
Speaker 1: they'll be playing in the World Series again too. Looking
Speaker 1: to do it back to back anyway. Glad you're along
Speaker 1: five point three seven four nine seven eight hundred, the
Speaker 1: big one. You can get interactive on x It's Twitter,
Speaker 1: by the way, at least it used to be at
Speaker 1: Stirling Radio and the iHeart Talk app iHeart Radio Talkback.
Speaker 1: A click on the microphone easier for me to say. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't care political leanings or otherwise doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 1: I think this whole commutation of his sentence, the thing
Speaker 1: in George Santos going away used to be obviously a
Speaker 1: representative in d C for the state of New York.
Speaker 1: He went away, was supposed to go for a good
Speaker 1: number of years. He was out in less than like
Speaker 1: six months I think or something. It wasn't gone very long.
Speaker 1: And the president is set him free and wished him
Speaker 1: to have a great life. Well, I mean and obvious,
Speaker 1: and he been online in his prison journal or whatever
Speaker 1: else complaining about polyester close and all the indignities of
Speaker 1: being locked up and then a psychological torture and so forth.
Speaker 1: It goes along with that. I guess he had been
Speaker 1: in some isolation situation as well. And I mean prison
Speaker 1: is not supposed to be comfortable. I mean clearly here
Speaker 1: talking about crime in Cincinnati and all stuff happening downtown
Speaker 1: and bubbling up of more problems, and you know, police
Speaker 1: need to do more, The justice system in general needs
Speaker 1: to do more. Parents need to do more, all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. You know, there's stuff always happening out
Speaker 1: here in prisons not supposed to be comfortable or good.
Speaker 1: If you want to talk to serious nature of it,
Speaker 1: that's fine. But what got me thinking is I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the long list of lies or mistruths or misstatements
Speaker 1: premeditated accidentally, I mean, compulsive liar. This guy. It's amazing,
Speaker 1: and I'll go through the list of it. But while
Speaker 1: I do that, what I'm curious about is this because
Speaker 1: a lot of us lie to keep people's feelings from
Speaker 1: being hurt.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: I can remember my late grandmother when I was little,
Speaker 1: cooking like pancakes and stuff and got them a little
Speaker 1: browner than like I would normally have, which was fine.
Speaker 1: It was Grandma. I just added more syrup and butter.
Speaker 1: I was in good condition. I was fine with it
Speaker 1: and told her thank you because it was Grandma and
Speaker 1: my mom picking me up that day. I will never
Speaker 1: forget sees that. And here here's me say that she goes,
Speaker 1: you would have told me they were overcooked and that
Speaker 1: you wanted different pancakes or something, And he goes, what's
Speaker 1: the deal with that, because it's his grandma. Of course, now,
Speaker 1: I mean mom burnt mind. I'd be happy with whatever
Speaker 1: she made too. Just a difference in years and time.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's a little live you know, they
Speaker 1: were fine. They were fine pancakes. I look back fondly
Speaker 1: on eating my grandmother's pancakes A lot of times. You'll do,
Speaker 1: you know, your girlfriend or wife, these pants make my
Speaker 1: ass look big, and you may go, no, it looks great.
Speaker 1: Maybe you like big butts and you're like, hell, yeah,
Speaker 1: give me some of that, you know, just like Scarface said,
Speaker 1: you know, the poum hand, just like shackhands. If you know,
Speaker 1: you know, I guess if really what the boils down to.
Speaker 1: But I'm wondering, easy, lie, hard lie, biggest lie you've told,
Speaker 1: biggest lie you've been told. U we can maybe have
Speaker 1: a little fun with this. Santos, who's just been put out,
Speaker 1: her in the process of being let out, lied about
Speaker 1: where he went to school. He said that he admitted
Speaker 1: that he did not attend the universities he had previously
Speaker 1: claimed on his resume, and he had been told that
Speaker 1: he had gone a number of places that he did not.
Speaker 1: He lied about where he worked. He lied about owning
Speaker 1: a number of different rental properties that apparently he did not.
Speaker 1: He lied about being robbed of his rent money. He
Speaker 1: said that he was once mugged while he was going
Speaker 1: to pay his rent in Queens, New York, and apparently
Speaker 1: he never reported it. He just happened to be talking
Speaker 1: about crime and saying how he was victimized. Now maybe
Speaker 1: he didn't report it whatever, but I mean a longlist
Speaker 1: of lives. He said he was Jewish, not Jewish. During
Speaker 1: his campaign he said he was a proud American jew,
Speaker 1: but later backtrack called himself Jewish as in like kind
Speaker 1: of jewey Jews, not Jewish as in jew and then
Speaker 1: a hyphen and then ish because he actually about ethnicity,
Speaker 1: he's actually Catholic. He lied about criminal status in Brazil.
Speaker 1: He said he denied committing crimes in Brazil or anywhere else,
Speaker 1: but prosecutors in Brazil looked to reopen years old fraud
Speaker 1: cases against him. He fraudulently, apparently allegations of fraud in Brazil,
Speaker 1: not just here in the States, which got him locked
Speaker 1: up for a little while here. He apparently lied. It's
Speaker 1: been reported all over the place that he had lied
Speaker 1: to his own staff. He also had lied to others
Speaker 1: about you know, his donors, about raising money to get
Speaker 1: more money as well, which is pretty wild. He also said, apparently,
Speaker 1: I mean athletic accomplishments, which I think is amazing. Said
Speaker 1: he was a star volleyball player Borough College. And this
Speaker 1: goes back to some radio show that he was doing
Speaker 1: and talked about that, and that he had had both
Speaker 1: these replaced as a result of his athletic career. Apparently
Speaker 1: never happened, never had his knee replaced, never went to
Speaker 1: Brooke College. It's just just pathological. It's amazing. He lied
Speaker 1: about his mother's death. Apparently he had said that after
Speaker 1: nine to eleven, two thousand and one, somehow the attacks
Speaker 1: there had claimed life, that she died in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: so there's like fifteen years window. There no evidence of
Speaker 1: any connection by the way, to any disease or injuries
Speaker 1: or anything else with what happened nine to eleven to
Speaker 1: his mom's passing. He said that she was actually at
Speaker 1: her office inside the World Trade Center during the attacks,
Speaker 1: and that's from NBC News. He lied about campaign finances
Speaker 1: and fundraising there reported by News four in New York
Speaker 1: about improper donations a half million dollar loan personal funds
Speaker 1: also a part of that too, just on it. He
Speaker 1: lied to investors, he lied about his name. He lied
Speaker 1: about raising money for the homeless Homeless Veterans Dog to
Speaker 1: the tune of three grand apparently. And also he had
Speaker 1: lied at another time about being mugged in Manhattan and
Speaker 1: said that he was a target of assassination or at
Speaker 1: least an attempted assassination, and that he was mugged on
Speaker 1: Fifth Avenue in the middle of the day. No one
Speaker 1: knows if it really happened or not, but apparently he
Speaker 1: never really reported it, so which I guess that Schmosh
Speaker 1: guy or whatever the actor who lied about like what
Speaker 1: happened to him and said it was racial that got
Speaker 1: him some serious prison time for a while too, but
Speaker 1: different scenario. I guess false report that goes with it.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what you've lied about. I mean, a lot
Speaker 1: of us people will have little white lives, and you
Speaker 1: hear this now a lot with people on their resumes,
Speaker 1: and people are okay with it. And I don't necessarily
Speaker 1: mean the people who were looking at the resume and
Speaker 1: you know, trying to hire somebody and go, yeah, I
Speaker 1: kind of okay with the like prospective employee lying to me.
Speaker 1: But people fudge stuff on their resumes all the time, adjurate,
Speaker 1: if not completely embellish skill sets or experience Showhey of
Speaker 1: Tani by the way, just pitching tonight and then also
Speaker 1: just went deep. It's now five nothing Dodgers in the
Speaker 1: bottom of the seventh. It's unbelievable. He is not from
Speaker 1: this world. I mean, some type of alien. I was
Speaker 1: talking to Lance about that earlier, talked about it all season,
Speaker 1: doing all kinds of stuff, had problems with the arm
Speaker 1: after the surgery, finally got back up to doing that
Speaker 1: and was hitting all year. Uh, just a monster. And
Speaker 1: what happened to the Brewers, by the way, they were
Speaker 1: the best record in baseball and uh, just unreal. And
Speaker 1: then seemingly the wheels have come off getting caught in
Speaker 1: the buzz saw that is the Dodgers. Unless something happens drastically,
Speaker 1: they need to score at least six and keep the
Speaker 1: Dodgers from scoring again. Oh Tani. Wow, just looking at
Speaker 1: this replay it just it is absolutely bewildering five three
Speaker 1: seven the big One at Sterling Radio on or Twitter,
Speaker 1: call it what you want, what's the biggest life someone's
Speaker 1: told you directly or otherwise. I mean, people, when it
Speaker 1: comes to the job stuff will do it on resumes,
Speaker 1: people will lie and cheat when it comes in AI
Speaker 1: and technology has certainly seemingly made it a lot easier
Speaker 1: impossible when it comes to writing or other stuff. An
Speaker 1: academic world of putting stuff together at high school, middle school,
Speaker 1: I guess even certainly the university level when it comes
Speaker 1: to putting stuff out, there a lot of plagiarism or
Speaker 1: manipulation of stuff that you could argue was plagiarized. And
Speaker 1: I have friends that have kids that are in school
Speaker 1: and they're constantly battling that now with the technology and
Speaker 1: trying to let them know that that's not appropriate, that's
Speaker 1: not really doing the work, which is pretty amazing. And
Speaker 1: then on the other side of it, I have some
Speaker 1: people that I know that are teaching, you know, high
Speaker 1: schoolers and younger kids as well as some at the
Speaker 1: university level too, and are telling me that it's a
Speaker 1: constant battle then going through and trying to weed through
Speaker 1: all of that. So people seemingly are okay with whatever
Speaker 1: the slippery slope is of telling the truth or passing
Speaker 1: stuff off is their work or other body and other
Speaker 1: person's work as their own, which is just just amazing.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know when it became okay, I
Speaker 1: don't think it's okay, but apparently for a whole lot
Speaker 1: of people it is. I mean, people lying to avoid
Speaker 1: hurt feelings in certain situations, lying to shield people from
Speaker 1: information that might hurt them. Okay, I kind of grasp
Speaker 1: that waiting, you know, to not necessarily tell kids every
Speaker 1: bit of information, you know, not fully disclosing some stuff.
Speaker 1: It's a different thing altogether. But the lies are just amazing.
Speaker 1: The list, And I didn't, by the way, going through
Speaker 1: that Santo's list. Someone Alex, one of the Alexes who
Speaker 1: messaged me regularly, says that you cannot have had that
Speaker 1: list as all legit lies from Santos. Yeah. I didn't
Speaker 1: even go through the whole list. That was just some
Speaker 1: of the lies. So yeah, it's out there. Five point
Speaker 1: three seven four nine, seven eight hundred, the big one
Speaker 1: lies you've been told, the ones that hurt, the ones
Speaker 1: that don't matter. Is it okay. When is it okay
Speaker 1: to lie where you're okay with it? And maybe being
Speaker 1: lied to as well. Relationship stuff, Oh I wasn't. I
Speaker 1: wasn't with her, I wasn't with him, I wasn't not
Speaker 1: with the boys, whatever it was. Financial stuff's always difficult.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I got lots of money, don't have any money.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why people do backgrounds, that checks and
Speaker 1: all kinds of other stuff out there, because the danger
Speaker 1: is everywhere. It's it's okay, and I guess for some
Speaker 1: there are no rules anymore. It's wild. Friday Night, Sterling
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW glad here a long a couple of
Speaker 1: minutes away from here. Eleven o'clock report Travis Laird with
Speaker 1: an uphing on what's going on around planet Earth that
Speaker 1: matters to us right here in the Tri State. So
Speaker 1: the Brewers got a couple guys on and they're threatening,
Speaker 1: So they're still battling. They haven't given up. But we'll
Speaker 1: see exactly how that goes and give you an update
Speaker 1: on that. We're talking about lies because you told and
Speaker 1: everything else. I'll get to something else that somebody messaged
Speaker 1: me one with a difference between he's a commutation, clemency
Speaker 1: and some other stuff. So I'll see if I can
Speaker 1: break it down. I'm not an attorney, I don't want
Speaker 1: to play one on the radio, but I can get
Speaker 1: the information and share it tomorrow. By the way, I
Speaker 1: will follow Xavier Musketeer basketball, I know. I mean there's
Speaker 1: still baseball on. It's it's you can feel the excitement,
Speaker 1: even though it's not our Reds. And then you got
Speaker 1: obviously NFL football Bengals, big Thursday night win last night
Speaker 1: with the Steelers in town, big white out, handling business
Speaker 1: which is huge and good and that's nice. And then
Speaker 1: of course you got your football Bearcats on the road
Speaker 1: to Oklahoma State looking to handle business tomorrow and to
Speaker 1: keep their winning ways alive. So that should be good. Here.
Speaker 1: That's Primetime tomorrow night with an eight o'clock kickoff, two
Speaker 1: o'clock tip tomorrow Musketeers hosting Murray State. Richard Patino given
Speaker 1: a first look at his Musketeers for this new young
Speaker 1: season that isn't quite here yet, but it's almost here.
Speaker 1: You can feel it. I mean, they're hockey soon dependent
Speaker 1: and then you get a little basketball, and then you
Speaker 1: get some football, and then you get little some October
Speaker 1: baseball life is pretty good. So Musketeers tomorrow in Murray
Speaker 1: State here and then I will get you through before Chick.
Speaker 1: I'm like the creamy center of an Oreo cookie in
Speaker 1: between Chick Ludwig and some Xavier basketball tomorrow, which is good.
Speaker 1: Now explaining what this commutation is compared to clemency and
Speaker 1: how that breaks up. So clemency is a general term
Speaker 1: they say that goes for leniency or mercy and allowing
Speaker 1: a commutation or reprieve or a pardon, pardon's act of forgiveness,
Speaker 1: absolution for a crime committed, or something a lot those lines.
Speaker 1: Apparently it doesn't take away the record. The record still
Speaker 1: will be there for Santos and apparently the rights that
Speaker 1: have been taken away. I don't know that means he
Speaker 1: can't vote still exactly or how that plays out, but
Speaker 1: he'll be free to walk among us. I'm sure he'll
Speaker 1: find himself a job making some serious money, and they
Speaker 1: can start adding to the list of lies as well,
Speaker 1: which is tremendous. I don't care where you fall in
Speaker 1: the political spectrum. One of the most lioness liars ever documented,
Speaker 1: and it got him in all kinds of trouble, including
Speaker 1: heisting people's money and donations for his campaigns, which now
Speaker 1: he does not have to pay back either, So all
Speaker 1: the penalties associated with that wiped away. So, you know,
Speaker 1: a couple months locked up, you can get you know,
Speaker 1: six seven, eight hundred thousand dollars worth of money from
Speaker 1: other people. Apparently if you know the right people and
Speaker 1: you vote Republican, which is what President Trump said that
Speaker 1: Santos did the entire way doing it. That can set
Speaker 1: you free. So if you're looking to do bad things,
Speaker 1: you know how to maybe get out. An o'clock report
Speaker 1: straight away. Travis Laird has news. We'll come back an
Speaker 1: hour to go. On a Friday night, Sterling Bengals win
Speaker 1: last night, Bearcats looked for a win tomorrow night, and
Speaker 1: the Musketeers look to get it. They're winning ways going
Speaker 1: again in exhibition basketball. Here on seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Final hour together this fine Friday night. Glad you're here
Speaker 1: at Sterling seven hundred wlule back again tomorrow afternoon after
Speaker 1: some Xavier Musketeer basketball. It is that time, Murray State
Speaker 1: the matchup with the Musketeers. A little exhibition basketball gets real.
Speaker 1: In a couple of weeks. It's fast approaching. They're playing
Speaker 1: baseball in Los Angeles Division Series or Championship Series, I
Speaker 1: should say, in the National League. Dodgers leading five to one.
Speaker 1: I mentioned at base runners on the Brewers trying to
Speaker 1: salvage at least some face and maybe another game out
Speaker 1: of this. But they scored just one Dodgers back at
Speaker 1: bat five to one, bottom of the eighth, So they're
Speaker 1: three outs away basically from heading off the World Series.
Speaker 1: And then the Mariners a Heney a Suarez of course,
Speaker 1: in they're they're a game away. Three two is the
Speaker 1: where they're a series at this point too, So we'll
Speaker 1: see how it goes, and then they'll have some time
Speaker 1: off possibly uh five hundred, the big one, the number
Speaker 1: as up motivated to get interactive. I want your take.
Speaker 1: Also you can talk back by clicking on the microphone
Speaker 1: and the iHeartRadio app. So there was the carve out
Speaker 1: by way of deliberate intent or accident loophole, call it
Speaker 1: what you want with the farm bill and the issue
Speaker 1: of intoxicating hemp as they call it, which is sort
Speaker 1: of the history of a sister of YESU marijuana, if
Speaker 1: you will, which voters in Ohio said, hey, we want
Speaker 1: the League of Weed, and it's now available. After all
Speaker 1: the process that went through at the dispensaries all over
Speaker 1: the place, they swipe your driver's license depending on where
Speaker 1: you are, so they know what you're buying, how much
Speaker 1: that you're taking with you, and so on, which had
Speaker 1: some people feeling little little bit to too much big
Speaker 1: brother eyeballing you depending for some people or what have you.
Speaker 1: Governor Dwine put the kaibash on temporarily before a judge
Speaker 1: blocked his ban on the sale of THHC drinks, hemp
Speaker 1: products as well as like gummies and those type of
Speaker 1: things at places that weren't dispensaries, which in fact included
Speaker 1: at one point restaurants, but that has been put on
Speaker 1: hold now lawmakers in Columbus are wanting you still to
Speaker 1: be able to get the THHC drinks where you get alcohol, bars, restaurants.
Speaker 1: I suppose liquor store type of scenario right, not necessarily
Speaker 1: that carryout, although you would think in that case, if
Speaker 1: they got a liquor license, that they should just handle
Speaker 1: it as they would liquor when it comes to who
Speaker 1: you you know, sell it to, which is really what
Speaker 1: they should have been doing all along with the hemp
Speaker 1: products that didn't somehow fall into what was controllable at
Speaker 1: the disp and so forth, and a lot of people
Speaker 1: making a whole lot of money, and a whole lot
Speaker 1: of businesses with a whole lot of employees are now
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what they're going to do. Is
Speaker 1: stuff moves through the first of the week in Columbus,
Speaker 1: we'll see how fast the rules of government work. They'll
Speaker 1: probably move faster on that in handling like drawing new
Speaker 1: voter districts and so forth. When it comes to the
Speaker 1: whole jerrymandering thing too, I would imagine as time goes on,
Speaker 1: what I want to know is this, whether you're for
Speaker 1: the weed or not, whether you and bibe or not,
Speaker 1: you like to smoke out, eat a gummy, have a
Speaker 1: THC drink of some type, or otherwise, as long as
Speaker 1: people handled it appropriately and responsibly. And what I mean
Speaker 1: by that is if you're running a smoke shop, and
Speaker 1: I know some people who had do and they carded people,
Speaker 1: they didn't let kids in there, They did not put
Speaker 1: anything that was out easily grabbed for kids or anything
Speaker 1: else underage that had interest in trying to alter themselves
Speaker 1: in the last week, anecdotal stories or otherwise. It's made
Speaker 1: the news with some high school kids, I think, and
Speaker 1: even some middle school kids that were given gummies that
Speaker 1: they thought were just candy and they were a weed
Speaker 1: laced which took them on a ride they weren't expecting,
Speaker 1: and you got them, you know, some medical help in
Speaker 1: school as they started realizing they weren't acting normally, and
Speaker 1: then trying to figure out exactly how that goes. If
Speaker 1: it is handled and controlled at a bar, at a restaurant,
Speaker 1: at a store that sells alcohol, the same way that
Speaker 1: it would be with alcohol or someone selling cigarettes, what
Speaker 1: is the difference to you? I'm just curious because I
Speaker 1: mean lawmakers trying to protect children, is they should? I mean,
Speaker 1: everything's always about the children, right the next generation, and
Speaker 1: making sure that they're safe and secure as best as possible.
Speaker 1: That being said, upstanding responsible retailers would be doing the
Speaker 1: same thing, no different than when I was underage trying
Speaker 1: to find someone at one point in time before we
Speaker 1: found a store called the Stumps that doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 1: I think it's now a charter school. In that building,
Speaker 1: you would know where to go to find someone who
Speaker 1: would ring you up for getting beer when I was
Speaker 1: underage or you knew someone who might go get it
Speaker 1: for you. Doesn't mean they should have, but it was
Speaker 1: one of those things. My guess is, kids are no
Speaker 1: different now than they were in the eighties and nineties
Speaker 1: when I was coming up, trying to get their hands
Speaker 1: on adult beverages weed most likely not any different. So
Speaker 1: someone who has a liquor license, which is a huge
Speaker 1: opportunity to make huge money depending or at least a living,
Speaker 1: and probably employ some people that you're paying so that
Speaker 1: they can make a living, one would figure that the
Speaker 1: thought of a loss of license and culpability, say, for instance,
Speaker 1: for allowing somebody who's not legally supposed to be getting
Speaker 1: their hands on those adult beverages, whether they're THHC laced
Speaker 1: or just alcohol, would be no different than somebody selling
Speaker 1: intoxicating hemp. And that's how it should be handled. And
Speaker 1: I think the lawmakers were maybe a little late in
Speaker 1: the game in the way that it was being drawn up,
Speaker 1: in the way it played out. They also tried very
Speaker 1: hard to try to limit, you know, the moneies. So
Speaker 1: you know, here's the thing. A lot of municipalities have
Speaker 1: made the choice not to allow dispensaries legal dispensaries in
Speaker 1: their neighborhoods, right their cities, their townships, et cetera. Makes sense.
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't want it there. You know, you might
Speaker 1: have a moratorium on alcohol being sold in some places too.
Speaker 1: They didn't want the weed. They didn't want the alcohol,
Speaker 1: but a lot of it is with the weed. So
Speaker 1: if you're in that situation, there's a whole lot of
Speaker 1: tax money that has been taken out of all this
Speaker 1: dispensary cash. This people have been spending boatloads of money,
Speaker 1: whether it's for medicinal marijuana or whether it's recreational marijuana products,
Speaker 1: those taxes, I'm not sure exactly where they've been going,
Speaker 1: but you know, whether it's Cincinnati or whether it's Dayton,
Speaker 1: or whether it's someplace in between that allows the sale
Speaker 1: of it or has a dispensary, those places where the
Speaker 1: dispensaries are should be getting those tax dollars in the
Speaker 1: benefit for allowing the commerce to take place in their municipality.
Speaker 1: And then they can handle that to fix roads and
Speaker 1: to handle it, maybe to pay more police or whatever
Speaker 1: else it is. That sort of goes along with what
Speaker 1: is required in whatever city or township or whatever else
Speaker 1: it is. It seems very basic. It's common sense in
Speaker 1: that regard. You know, why should a community that doesn't
Speaker 1: have a dispensary benefit from the taxes that are taken
Speaker 1: out for the places that actually do that business. They shouldn't.
Speaker 1: There's no you know, if you want the tax money,
Speaker 1: then you've got to be on the hook for the
Speaker 1: other end of it. So that makes sense in what
Speaker 1: they're going to do in Columbus. And anybody who is
Speaker 1: a bad actor selling this stuff to minor children, though
Speaker 1: there's no legal problem with it at this point, should
Speaker 1: have a penalty for it. But a lot of these businesses,
Speaker 1: whether they sold tobacco, products of other kinds or what
Speaker 1: have you, selling the intoxicating himp have found a way
Speaker 1: to supplement their income and make you know, I've talked
Speaker 1: to a few people, and I've heard them here on
Speaker 1: other shows in news stories. They're making one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars or more profit quarterly selling this stuff. That is
Speaker 1: a major hit. Even if that was just an annual
Speaker 1: hit in a loss of one hundred a year, that's substantial.
Speaker 1: Even if it was just for six months, that's two
Speaker 1: hunt though add to that maybe something more in some
Speaker 1: cases four hundred thousand dollars a year. That's huge profit
Speaker 1: and a huge at tax and a lot of people
Speaker 1: probably going to lose their jobs as a part of this.
Speaker 1: But you got to handle stuff responsibly. And somebody somewhere
Speaker 1: along the way didn't understand what the farm Bill had
Speaker 1: in it and what it meant. And I still am
Speaker 1: of the opinion of a libertarian mindset that individuals should
Speaker 1: be free to basically do whatever it is that they
Speaker 1: want to do in their life until they start victimizing
Speaker 1: or being a problem or causing harm to other people.
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's that simple. You should be able
Speaker 1: to smoke, get high, drink, whatever it is that you're doing,
Speaker 1: as long as you're not getting behind the wheel, wreaking
Speaker 1: havoc on the community and becoming a problem and a
Speaker 1: predator in some type of nuisance or otherwise. Just in
Speaker 1: the last couple of days, I've had no less than
Speaker 1: five conversations with people in the midst of the talk
Speaker 1: about the Cincinnati police chief and maybe she'll be kicked
Speaker 1: to the curb, and now you know, all the business
Speaker 1: of negotiating how that exit might happen if in fact
Speaker 1: that's where they are and people saying, you know, they're
Speaker 1: complaining about downtown and the vibrancy and all the weed smoke, Well,
Speaker 1: if that's being done in public in areas where you're
Speaker 1: not supposed to be doing it, which you're not, then
Speaker 1: that's a policing issue. Should have been something that the
Speaker 1: police were on top of anyway, and then you leave
Speaker 1: that to the prosecutor to then prosecute those offenses, even
Speaker 1: if it's just a cheap ticket otherwise, and if they're underage,
Speaker 1: they shouldn't have it anyhow. It's the little stuff that
Speaker 1: builds into something bigger with kids loitering and everything else
Speaker 1: that goes along with that. And if you start acting
Speaker 1: like you're the problem, then you'll be treated like the problem.
Speaker 1: And that's just the way it was in my house.
Speaker 1: That's the way it should be in the neighborhood. That's
Speaker 1: the way it should be in the community. Unless I'm crazy.
Speaker 1: What do you think? Five three, seven, four, nine, seven,
Speaker 1: eight hundred The Big One Talk Back the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: Do you have a problem with these Delta eight products
Speaker 1: and hemp derivative products that are still intoxicating being sold
Speaker 1: in convenience stores or gas stations the same way alcohol
Speaker 1: is and to be controlled in that fashion compared to
Speaker 1: another dispensary the same way. They want these drinks to
Speaker 1: be old or you know sold that are you know,
Speaker 1: in infused with the THHC product, which are people you
Speaker 1: know navigating and a lot of beer sales and a
Speaker 1: lot of other spirits have been taking it in the
Speaker 1: shorts when it comes to you know, selling their products.
Speaker 1: It's sort of a slowdown, but people are embracing and
Speaker 1: the growth has been monumental with people trying to get
Speaker 1: their hands on these beverages, these edibles and the smokeable products,
Speaker 1: whether it's at the real dispensary, government controlled, or at
Speaker 1: that one in the strip shopping center that you hope
Speaker 1: has been doing their business the right way, and if
Speaker 1: they're not in habit then there should be a penalty.
Speaker 1: It's your chance to be heard on the other side.
Speaker 1: Quick break, come back, glad you're along. It's a Friday
Speaker 1: night Sterling seven hundred WLW the ninth first morning forecasts
Speaker 1: on the Big One down to fifty five tonight eighties
Speaker 1: for your Saturday late rating. Bearcats on the Road. Oklahoma
Speaker 1: State is where they'll be playing tomorrow night, primetime eight

Speaker 1: course playing sentas Murray State the exhibition game tomorrow afternoon,
Speaker 1: two o'clock tip off. That'll be inside. No worries are
Speaker 1: rain there either, sixties on Sunday, sixties on Monday, more seasonable.
Speaker 1: It's still sixty one right now. Let me refresh that.
Speaker 1: That's hard for me. Yeah, sixty at your severe weather
Speaker 1: station seven hundred WLW, a couple minutes away from your
Speaker 1: eleven thirty report. Conversation I had with Moaggart talking Bengals
Speaker 1: as well as Bearcats. Coming up after the news, Travis
Speaker 1: Laird with the latest There, big news out Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: Way landed the in and out burger Shohei Otani, who
Speaker 1: basically did it all on his own, but he had
Speaker 1: help too. He drove in three runs, walked, and I
Speaker 1: mean just unbelievable. He pitches, he dhs, he does everything.
Speaker 1: The Alien and those Dodgers will face off against it
Speaker 1: now as a result of their win in sweeping the Brewers,
Speaker 1: who would have saw that company coming. The Brewers plan
Speaker 1: the way they did all season, ran out of gas
Speaker 1: or just got caught in the chipper as the Dodgers
Speaker 1: just bowled them over. Dodgers win at Dodgers Stadium, bring
Speaker 1: home that National League championship. They'll face off against the Mariners,
Speaker 1: who were a game away, or the Blue Jays Sunday night.
Speaker 1: It could be a Seattle or Toronto trying to hang
Speaker 1: tough and not up the series. But right now it's
Speaker 1: a three to two lead for Seattle, and Hanio A
Speaker 1: Suarez and company handled business. Gino was spectacular earlier, got
Speaker 1: himself a Grand Slam and handled business a little bit earlier.
Speaker 1: Is that they beat Toronto and they'll get back to
Speaker 1: the other coast and see if they can bring home
Speaker 1: an American League championship. And then Suarez and of course
Speaker 1: former red along with him getting a chance to u
Speaker 1: Luis Castillo to get a little bit of what World
Speaker 1: Series action, which is what we hope is closer than
Speaker 1: not for our Reds. But it is the winter time
Speaker 1: ahead and hot stove League, so we'll see if they
Speaker 1: can find a bad and do their business. Something else
Speaker 1: I want to mention too, because in the last couple
Speaker 1: of days there's been news of a state trooper who
Speaker 1: was pulled over looking to help a trucker who had
Speaker 1: a problem and then he got he was killed, hit
Speaker 1: by I think it was a dump truck or something
Speaker 1: that went off the road or hit his cruiser, whatever
Speaker 1: it was, and then he lost his life. So his
Speaker 1: family and everyone should be mourning him. On the road
Speaker 1: doing what they do on a daily and nightly basis,
Speaker 1: and dangerous situations with people driving at high speed not
Speaker 1: paying attention. There was someone locally here, I think it
Speaker 1: was an ODET worker or just recently as a problem
Speaker 1: with that, and police on a regular basis having to
Speaker 1: navigate dangerous stuff. And today is what they call National
Speaker 1: move Over Day in Ohio also where ODD as well
Speaker 1: as the Ohio State Patrol working together to basically let
Speaker 1: people know when you see flashing lights of the obvious
Speaker 1: thing is to get out of the way, to move
Speaker 1: over so they have room to work or deal with
Speaker 1: whatever it is that they're dealing with slowing down, which
Speaker 1: is some basic stuff. And I mean, it's just the
Speaker 1: way it is. If you have been like me, you've
Speaker 1: had friends or family who've been out there doing the job,
Speaker 1: either in uniform as police or doing the job for
Speaker 1: O DOT or other types of repairs, and you know,
Speaker 1: literally sometimes inches or a foot away from people just
Speaker 1: blowing by speeding in general, let alone what construction speed is.
Speaker 1: It's unnerving. And you heard Matt Bruining, buddy of mine
Speaker 1: I used to work with, who's now a spokesperson for
Speaker 1: O Dot, talk about that in the news earlier, the
Speaker 1: fact they've lost I think over one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: people ode out workers over the years, just that, not
Speaker 1: including law enforcement in those situations. And these are generally
Speaker 1: preferable to accidents happen, But I mean people driving too
Speaker 1: fast and not getting over and being distracted. That's a
Speaker 1: negligence issue. That's a whole nother story. So just be
Speaker 1: safe out there if you're doing the work, and if
Speaker 1: you're on the road in general, keep an eye out.
Speaker 1: It's real simple. Straight away, you're eleven thirty report Travis
Speaker 1: Laird has an idea what's going on. He'll share that
Speaker 1: with us and then we'll talk some football with Mawegger
Speaker 1: from ESPN fifteen thirty coming up as well. Dodgers go
Speaker 1: into the World Series. And I mentioned this, my neighbor
Speaker 1: got really aggravated to me. I said, looking at this,
Speaker 1: I said, I would prefer the Dodgers, who beat the
Speaker 1: Reds in two in LA in that wildcard series that
Speaker 1: had a lot of people shocked that the Reds even
Speaker 1: got there, and it would have been nice if they
Speaker 1: could have won a game or maybe one. But I'd
Speaker 1: rather lose to a team that goes all the way
Speaker 1: than lose to a team who then loses in the
Speaker 1: next round. I don't know what kind of pretzel logic
Speaker 1: that is, but that's the way my sterling brain works.
