1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,840
Speaker 1: Do you want to be an American?

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 2: Friday morning? It slowly here on seven hundred w WELW

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: Joe Jamar t All in action for the first time,

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: and it feels like forever of this Sunday at Buffalo

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: and Orchard Park against the Bills, Ravens dominated the Bengals.

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, the Bengals dominated the Ravens. I should say

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: thirty two to fourteen Thanksgiving Night, which seems like a

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 2: while ago. And then Pittsburgh crushed by the Bills twenty

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 2: six to seven on Sunday, and the Bengals thrust it

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: into the conversation of possibly winning the division. And I mean,

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: the odds makers don't give it much of a shot,

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: but man, it's not gonna take much. Dan Horne is here,

13
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: of course, voice of the Bengals on seven hundred WLW Daniel,

14
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: good morning. How are you bother?

15
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 3: Sony? I'm good. It's not going to take much. That

16
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 3: might be a slight No, I don't know.

17
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: It's the division.

18
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,959
Speaker 3: No one wants. Cleveland would love it, trust me.

19
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: Well, Cleveland's mathematically eliminated from twenty twenty six postseason play.

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 4: Dan.

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: At this point, before we get to that, the shootouts

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: tonight the last time you see one at Sinta Center.

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: What were you doing?

24
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 3: I was broadcasting the game. That was twenty four years ago.

25
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, I go back a long way.

26
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 3: I know now that you mention it. That was early

27
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: in my really early Bearcats ten year Yeah, that might

28
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 3: have been second or third year, but in any case,

29
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: remember it. Well, Steve Logan had twenty two points. David

30
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: West got injured in that game. That obviously helped the Bearcats. Yep,

31
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: Cincinnati won by twenty. It was the first time they

32
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,639
Speaker 3: ever played at the Sintas Center. They haven't won again since,

33
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: so they're desperate to try to end that streak tonight.

34
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: We'll see.

35
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: I think I had just started at the station when

36
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: you know, learn about the crossown shoot all that stuff

37
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: goes that far. That's a long long time not to

38
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: win in one picture, good Billy, when you play every.

39
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 5: Year, I had nafro back then, I had so much hair.

40
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 5: It was a long long time ago, So.

41
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: Long ago Dan had hair. Yeah, and that he hair

42
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: left has been great at this point. So all right,

43
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: Well what changes it hasn't since two thousand and one.

44
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: Well, everything has changed. I mean it's amazing that we

45
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: get to this incredible rivalry, the best intracity rivalry in

46
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 3: college basketball, and there's one guy on both teams combined

47
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 3: that's played in it before Dade Thomas. Yeah, he's the

48
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: only Cincinnati player. Xavier doesn't have any.

49
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 5: So that is one aspect of the current state of

50
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 5: college athletics that sucks. You know, we used to love

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 5: the fact that guys would play in this rivalry three times,

52
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 5: four times, and you'd have those memories of how they

53
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 5: did against UC or how they did against Xavier.

54
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: Those days are pretty much gone. I mean, there will occasionally.

55
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 5: Be a player probably that sticks with a team for

56
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 5: three or four years, but it's.

57
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: Going to be a rarity going forward.

58
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 6: Yeah.

59
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I bring that up because, yeah, the players changed,

60
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: the coaches have changed, all the thesiers yet and the

61
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: one true thing is that you see cannot win at

62
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: Cinta Center for four years. It's like, yeah, participants have changed,

63
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: and yet it's still I don't know what it is,

64
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: a curse, call it what it is, but is this

65
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 2: the year that you see overcomes Dan.

66
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: Two weeks ago, I would have said yes.

67
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 5: Now, I let's say maybe Cincinnati looked like the much

68
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 5: better team. In the first few weeks of the season,

69
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 5: Xavier was kind of sputtering. The Bearcats are rolling now.

70
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 5: Cincinnati has not played particularly well in it's last three

71
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 5: or four games, and Xavier is coming on. Xavier's playing

72
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 5: really well. They made a slight tweak in the lineup,

73
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 5: and they've been really emphasizing their three point shooting from

74
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 5: all five positions or at least four, depending on who's

75
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 5: on the floor, and they are among the national leaders

76
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 5: and three pointers made.

77
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: I will say this about U. See when they've had

78
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: Boba Miller available for all forty minutes of a game,

79
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: they haven't lost. They lost to Louisville when he missed

80
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: the last ten and a half minutes. Now, they were

81
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: losing by five points at the time, so they might

82
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: have lost that game anyway. And then they lost the

83
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: Eastern Michigan when Baba did not play. He's their best player.

84
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: He makes an unbelievable difference when he's on the floor.

85
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: He's good to go tonight, So we'll see if that's

86
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: going to be a big factor in a bear Cat win.

87
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: All Right, it is a huge basketball game here in

88
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: the city of Cincinnati, and it was certainly one of

89
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: the most, if not unique in town matchups. It's been

90
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: going for such a and it's always a pretty good game,

91
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: almost always the crosstown shot out tonight. Anyway, let's seguay

92
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: to Sunday in Orchard Park, Bills and Bengal's going to

93
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,119
Speaker 2: be able to snow thirty one degrees and some snow showers,

94
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: just how we like it. Joe Burrow is outstanding in

95
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: the cold weather, by the way, if you look at

96
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: any past history. But we'll start with this. The Bills

97
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: just ran for almost two hundred fifty yards against Pittsburgh,

98
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: most since twenty twenty three, the most there in Pittsburgh

99
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 2: since nineteen seventy five. Bengals thirty first against the run.

100
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: How do they slow James Cook in the rushing attack?

101
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: And if they can, how big a key is that

102
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: to victory?

103
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 5: Number one key. That's the biggest key to the game.

104
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 5: And the keyword in the sentence you just used, Sloany

105
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 5: was slow, not stop. They're not going to suddenly hold

106
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 5: Buffalo to forty eight rushing yards, but they can't give

107
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 5: up one hundred and fifty plus. And that's what the

108
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 5: Bills average, and that's what the Bengals defense average is allowing.

109
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 5: I think Buffalo averages one hundred and fifty eight rushing

110
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 5: yards a game, number one in the NFL, and the

111
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 5: Bengals give up one fifty three, So that one fifty

112
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 5: ish number isn't going to work for Cincinnati. If they

113
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 5: allow that, I think the Bengals are dead. Even though

114
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 5: they have Joe Burrow back. They can't allow Buffalo to

115
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 5: control the clock, go up and down the field on

116
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 5: the ground, make it easier for Josh Allen to throw

117
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 5: when he decides to. I think that's the number one

118
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 5: key to the game.

119
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: And as for how the Bengals slow James Cooking that

120
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 3: rushing attack, well, they've been doing it for the last

121
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 3: few weeks. So the Bengals, as I.

122
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 5: Said, they've given up one hundred and fifty three rushing

123
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 5: yards a game, but that includes like two fifty against

124
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 5: the Jets and two fifty against Chicago. Over the last

125
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 5: three weeksnumbers come way down. So the Bengals defense is

126
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 5: playing better and we'll see if they can make it

127
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 5: four games in a row.

128
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and of course the twist is not just James

129
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: cook it's also well Josh Allen, you know, four hundred

130
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 2: nine rushing yards seventy six for your rushing tds just

131
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: broke Cam Newton's all time record the NFL. That is

132
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 2: a twist the Bengals are not used to seeing.

133
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: It's a twist that nobody's used to seeing, especially inside

134
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 3: the ten. You know, the seventy six rushing touchdowns for

135
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: Josh Allen, I don't know the number, but I'm guessing

136
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 3: that at least sixty five of them have come inside

137
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 3: the ten yard line. When they get close to the

138
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 3: goal line, that's the great equalizer because normally, if a

139
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: quarterback hands off to the running back inside the five,

140
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: the quarterback is just standing there watching. So basically, you've

141
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 3: got nine guys to block eleven. When Josh Allen keeps,

142
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: the running back is now available to block, you've got

143
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 3: an extra guy to block.

144
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 5: Josh Allen is obviously a horse. It's really difficult to

145
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 5: stop when you get close to the goal line. And

146
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 5: the Bills also do a great job of you know,

147
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 5: if Josh Allen is say two or three yards away

148
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 5: and still on his feet, couple of those gigantic offensive

149
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 5: linemen we'll move behind and start pushing, and then it's

150
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 5: almost impossible to bring him down.

151
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

152
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: But the problem with Josh Allen and we'll get the interceptions,

153
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: like his facts, he he just does not have the receivers.

154
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: He doesn't have the tools out there to throw the ball.

155
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: I think that's why you're seeing maybe the interception rate

156
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: creep up and trying to do other things and forcing plays.

157
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: Could be that could be good for the Bengal seconder.

158
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 5: No doubt, he's got six interceptions in the last four games.

159
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 5: He's got ten for the season. I believe he's tied

160
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 5: for second in the NFL for most interceptions, maybe third.

161
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 5: In any case, You're right, they don't have great where

162
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 5: he's receiving weapons, and one of their best has been

163
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 5: out Dalton and Kaid. He's missed the last three games.

164
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 5: Former first gund Draft pick tight end. When he's been

165
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 5: on the field this year, Alan hasn't thrown any interceptions.

166
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 5: The passing game is much much better when he's on

167
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 5: the field for Buffalo. He's been limited at practice this week.

168
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 5: I don't know if he's expected to come back or not. Obviously,

169
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 5: from the Bengals perspective, fingers crossed and he misses at

170
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 5: least one more.

171
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: Okay, good. And before we segue and flip the script

172
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: to the other side of the ball, Trey hendrickson what

173
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: is the story?

174
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: He's hurts and other than that, I'm not sure. I

175
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: haven't seen him or talked to him in the last

176
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 3: few weeks. He's still rehabbing. It's not like he's left Cincinnati.

177
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: But it just feels like Trey is going to wait

178
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: until he's one hundred to come back. But again, I

179
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 3: have not talked to him about that, or talked to

180
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: him period for several weeks.

181
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: You've heard the speculation. You know, he's just gonna say

182
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: and he's done. And but I mean, you know, people

183
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: make stuff up in the vacuum. When the story stamp

184
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 2: coming off your quiet and doing your work and trying

185
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: to rehab, the story takes on a life of its own.

186
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: Of course, hopefully he's back sooner rather than later. But

187
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 2: I would say, you know, there's some parallels been the

188
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: Bills Bengals, and players and positions are missing. Bengals are

189
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 2: without Trey Hendricks and the Bills are gonna look like

190
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: they're gonna be without Joey Bosa.

191
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, big loss.

192
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 5: He leads the Bills in sacks even though he plays

193
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 5: a somewhat specialist role coming in to rush the quarterback.

194
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 5: We know how great he is from his career, so

195
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 5: that's a significant loss. At Oliver has been out basically,

196
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 5: you know, almost all of the year for Buffalo, their

197
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 5: best interior defensive linemen. So I don't think that's the

198
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 5: strength for the Bills. They're giving up a bunch of

199
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 5: rushing yards. We talked about how that they are running

200
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 5: the ball, well, they're bad at stopping the run. They're

201
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 5: next to last in the NFL in yards per carry allowed.

202
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 5: So Chase Brown has been great for the last six games,

203
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 5: and we'll see if the Bengals can have some balance

204
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 5: and what's likely to be a really cold day in Buffalo.

205
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could just be a ball control game. Dan,

206
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 2: We're we're rushing, We're seeing a thousand yards rushing. It's

207
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: gonna do one of those days. Joe Burrow though, fire

208
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 2: in the cold, and it feels like it's been the

209
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: first time in forever since Burrow, Chase and Higgins have

210
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: all been healthy and playing together.

211
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, we too would have been the last time. And

212
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: we're assuming that t is back. I think that will

213
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 3: be the case. He's been trending. Yeah, he's been trending

214
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: in the right direction. He comes back from the concussion

215
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 3: he suffered two games ago. I think we'll get the

216
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: official word on whether he's back or not today, and

217
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 3: I do expect him to play. So yeah, it'd be

218
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 3: great for the Bengals passing offense to be back at

219
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: full strength. I'm finding some wood here to knock on.

220
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 5: But with five games left in the season, the Bengals

221
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 5: are in relatively good shape in terms of injuries. Trey

222
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 5: would be the most notable guy that they don't have,

223
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 5: but particularly in the offensive end, they're in really good shape.

224
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and the Bills have been. Their defense has

225
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 2: been pretty lead against the pass all season long, despite

226
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: all the injuries of the defense they've had. But this

227
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: is the arguably one of the best tests they're going

228
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 2: to have the season with all three players presumably be

229
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 2: back back on the field. In addition to the Bills

230
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: claimed veteran cornerback Darius Slayan went saying, Bengals fans are

231
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: going nuts because you remember him in what week seven?

232
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: It's the Steelers that Jamar lit him and the defense.

233
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 2: Steeler defense up for a career day for him. Sixteen touches,

234
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty one yards and a touchdown. But

235
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 2: the Bills got screwed here because Darius Lay said, dah,

236
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm not going to report. I'm thinking

237
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 2: about maybe retiring and what I would do in the future.

238
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 2: Bills released JaMarcus Ingram, who's been pretty strong for them

239
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: off the practice squad this season. Houston picked him up.

240
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: So not only out Darius Lay, you're out JaMarcus Ingram

241
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: as well. Another opportunity for Joe Burrow in company.

242
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 5: A little surprised that Buffalo would reach out and try

243
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 5: to get Darius Slay. He hasn't been very good this year,

244
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 5: he's old. It was kind of a questionable signing at

245
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 5: the beginning of the year by Pittsburgh. The thought was

246
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 5: they wanted to pick him up to kind of be

247
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 5: a veteran mentor to Joey Porter, who's been penalty prone

248
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 5: and you know, kind of prone to emotional loudbursts. When

249
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 5: he avoids that kind of stuff. He's a really good

250
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 5: player that didn't work out very well for Pittsburgh. So

251
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 5: it does kind of speak to Buffalo's I don't know,

252
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 5: maybe slight desperations to build up the depth at that position.

253
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 5: Christian Benford's been awesome he had at corner. He'll be

254
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 5: shadowing Jamar Chase.

255
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: How's that match up gonna look?

256
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: I'll say this, You know, beware any NFL team that

257
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: thinks that they've got a cornerback that's good enough to

258
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: handle Jamar Chase one on one is going to be

259
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 3: proven wrong. Ye, nobody does that.

260
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 5: Jamar is you know, he's not only the best wide

261
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 5: receiver in the NFL right now, he's one of the

262
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 5: best ever. I think it's safe to say that five

263
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 5: years into his career. So Benford will follow Jamar Chase,

264
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 5: but he'll still probably get help. Having said that, Jamar

265
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 5: will put up numbers because he always does.

266
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jamar will do what he does right exactly. It'll

267
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: be certainly a fascinating match with the other guy is

268
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: Bill's rookie corner Maxwell Harriston. It's about six catches on

269
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 2: thirteen targets since coming back there for injury in Week eight,

270
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: and he's a holdout, and you think he is he

271
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 2: the weak link there.

272
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 3: He's a rookie, he's a little bit underside, He's got

273
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 3: tremendous speed. He's a Kentucky guy he played at UK

274
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 3: first round draft pick. I think he's going to be

275
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 3: a good player, but I think is inexperience shows.

276
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, also Dan, I mean, we've got two teams

277
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 2: literally fighting here, Buffalo eight and for fighting for a

278
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: wild card. Doesn't look like they're going to win the

279
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 2: division as have done the last five seasons the way

280
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: that Drake May and New England's playing, And everyone hates

281
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: to hear that because no one likes New England. Cincinnati

282
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: fighting for its playoff life right now, and it's it's

283
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: such a great story because the as we mentioned, the

284
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: North is so up for grabs right now. Pittsburgh and

285
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: the Ravens are flailing right now. The Bengals are getting

286
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: one game, is certainly not a shriek, but certainly looking

287
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 2: a lot better. And some experts are saying, you know what,

288
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 2: I think they might run the table or close to

289
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: it and wind up getting that playoff spot. We'll see,

290
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 2: of course, and it starts on Sunday. But this matchup

291
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 2: with two teams fighting for something is are the Bills

292
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: experience and talent level when you when you combine it

293
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 2: all together, overwhelming or what we I mean? I think

294
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: the lines what like five five six, so five and

295
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: a half. I mean, it's not as close as you

296
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: would think it would be. But Matt, I just I'll

297
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: be honest with Isabell's fan and Bengals fan, the Bengals

298
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: feel like the better team right now.

299
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not sure that I agree with that.

300
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting with Buffalo, as you mentioned, they're

301
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 5: eight and four, and that seems disappointing just because expectations

302
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 5: were so high.

303
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 3: They dominated their division. They started four and zero. It

304
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 3: felt like they were the best team in the AFC

305
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: certainly at that point and maybe in the NFL. And

306
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 3: they've been a five hundred team since. And they've got

307
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: kind of some head scratching losses. They lost to the Falcons,

308
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 3: they lost to the Dolphins, they gave up eight facts

309
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: two weeks ago against Houston. It's still a really good team.

310
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 5: Josh Allen is obviously one of the best quarterbacks in

311
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 5: the NFL. James Cook is second in the NFL and

312
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 5: rushing and had seven one hundred yard games. And they're

313
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 5: playing at home where they won sixteen out of their

314
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 5: last seventeen. So I'm not willing to say that Cincinnati

315
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 5: is the better team. But I will say this, this

316
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 5: is what they do, right, I mean, they get to

317
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 5: December and they go on a run. Dak Taylor has

318
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 5: been criticized and fairly criticized for the team's slow starts.

319
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 5: I'm not sure he's ever gotten the same amount of

320
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 5: credit for their strong finishes. So let's go back to

321
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one, the Super Bowl year. They were a

322
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 5: game over five hundred. They were seven and six, and

323
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 5: then they won the next six games that they were

324
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 5: trying to win. So I'm going to toss out the

325
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 5: regular season finale when they rested their starters, but they

326
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 5: finished the regular season winning their last three. Then they

327
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 5: won three straight in the playoffs to get the Super Bowl.

328
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 5: The next year they were four and four. They won

329
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 5: ten in a row before they lost the AFC Championship

330
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 5: game to Kansas City. Last year, of course, they won

331
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 5: their last five to at least stay in the playoff

332
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 5: hunt until the last day of the regular season. So

333
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 5: that's three out of the last four years. Six game

334
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 5: winning streak, ten game winning streak, five game winning streak.

335
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 5: It's what they do, so I am not ruling out

336
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 5: the possibility of winning five more in a row to

337
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 5: stay in the hunt and then hope that Baltimore loses

338
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 5: too and Pittsburgh loses too, and if that happens, they're in.

339
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's simple math right well, and

340
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 2: also the I mean, let's face it that Joe Burr

341
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: the Beggels have had the Bill's number for a while.

342
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: It's just one of those teams they can't get past.

343
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: But we'll see what happens Sunday. And I think it's

344
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: gonna be a great game either way. And Dan and

345
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: Lapp will have a call from Snowy Orchard Park on Sunday.

346
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: I'll see you there, buddy. Have a great game and

347
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: safe travels. We'll talk again in about a week.

348
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: Sounds good, Clony, have fun.

349
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: Appreciate you you too, Thanks again, Voice of the Bengals

350
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: and of course Bearcats. Tonight it is the Crosstown shootout.

351
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: Dan Horde with the call courtside at Cinta Center. Can

352
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: you see do something they haven't done since Dan had

353
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: an afro, and that is win win at X. We'll

354
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: find out tonight on the Home of the Cats. Seven

355
00:16:51,760 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: hundred wwbman.

356
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 3: Who has entertainment reporting, of course through his veins which

357
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 3: makes him a medical.

358
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 7: Offity is ABC, Will Gans from New York.

359
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: Good morning, Will Dans. How are you, sir?

360
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 7: I am good. Happy Friday, too.

361
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: Happy Friday. Cannot wait for it, cannot wait for it.

362
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 2: A bunch of stuff going on. Let's start in theaters

363
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: where the New Knives Out movie is on a limited basis,

364
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: though it's gonna be like a general release eventually with

365
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 2: Daniel Craig and Glenn Close and company.

366
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 7: That is exactly right. So what if I told you

367
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 7: that you only have to wait one week for this

368
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 7: thing to pop up on your Netflix?

369
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 2: Because yeah, it kind of started getting into a little

370
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: bit and then fall out, but I gotta get back in.

371
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: It's a great show. And I'm wondering, well, okay, well

372
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: why is this the theaters if it's gonna be on

373
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: Netflix a week?

374
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: I mean.

375
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 7: So, the big consideration for movies like this, particularly when

376
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 7: you do have performances from Glenn Close that could be

377
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 7: up for awards nominations, Daniel Craig writing, and stuff from

378
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 7: Ryan Johnson is in order for something to be considered

379
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 7: for oscars, they have to spend a minimum amount of

380
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 7: time in a minimum amount of theaters. So I think

381
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 7: you know, a lot of the studios will say, all right,

382
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 7: we'll put this thing in five hundred theaters across the

383
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 7: country and you know, leave it there for a couple

384
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 7: of weeks, and then we'll bring it to the people

385
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 7: on Netflix. So that's what's going on here. But I

386
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 7: will say this movie Wake Up Dead Man is one

387
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 7: of my favorite things I've seen this year. So if

388
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 7: you're looking for a reason to go to the theaters

389
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 7: this weekend, I can't recommend this enough, although I would

390
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 7: understand if anyone wanted to wait to watch it. It'll

391
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 7: be on Netflix next Friday.

392
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just sit in So they're doing is just

393
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 2: to get an oscar. Now I'm as opposed to actually

394
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 2: anyone going to the theater and seeing it. Yeah, I

395
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 2: would say that that's that's correct. Yeah, because it's like, well,

396
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: if you don't have net fight, don't get it all right,

397
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: interesting times in which we we live, that's for sure.

398
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 2: Let's go to the small screen here. Peacocky has something

399
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: called all Your Fault just keeps showing up in my cue.

400
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 2: Is it worth hitting play?

401
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 7: I think yes. So Sarah Nook is the lead, and

402
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 7: a lot of people might remember her from succession. She's

403
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 7: the sister and Ship and Succession, and she of course

404
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 7: won some Emmys for that. So she plays a mom

405
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 7: who uh sets her son up for a playdate with

406
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 7: another mom at the school and and her son, but

407
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 7: when she goes to pick the kid up from the

408
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 7: play date, uh, the address that she was given is

409
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 7: wrong and the mom's phone number that she had is disconnected,

410
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 7: and now her son is missing. So it's eight episodes

411
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 7: and she is trying to figure out who took her

412
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 7: son and why, and you know it's it's she's got

413
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 7: a husband and he has some siblings, and it starts

414
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 7: starts to feel that everyone close to her may not

415
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 7: be as trustworthy as she thought. So it's a little soapy,

416
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 7: it's a it's definitely dramatic, but you know, she's fantastic

417
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 7: in it, and lots of twists and turns for anyone

418
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 7: looking for a mystery like that. And all eight episodes

419
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 7: are streaming on Peacock.

420
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: Now wait, just drop your kid off at a neighbor's

421
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 2: house and do any background check. What the hell's going

422
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 2: on with this world?

423
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 7: Hey, listen, it makes for an excellent TV show.

424
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I like I'm saying, and then I know,

425
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 2: Melissa McCarthy's back this weekend on SNL.

426
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, so on the other end of the spectrum if

427
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 7: Missing Kids is a little too heavy for you right now,

428
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 7: Melisa McCarthy will be hosting SNL for her sixth time.

429
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 7: It's her first time back since twenty seventeen. And you know,

430
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 7: she is just one of I think, at least in

431
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 7: this current era, one of the best SNL hosts. Do

432
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 7: you remember she played Sean Spicer for.

433
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 2: A little while.

434
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 7: That was hilarious. So we will have to see what

435
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 7: she's up to this weekend. And and you know, typically

436
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 7: when people have hosted five times or more, they come

437
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 7: back with a little bit of a gang you know,

438
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 7: like I So I wouldn't be surprised if maybe Tina

439
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 7: fe and Amy Polar show up, or Steve Martin and

440
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 7: Martin Short, they bring back a lot of those those

441
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 7: longtime you know hosts and special guests and stuff. So

442
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 7: that is, of course Saturday Night Melissa McCarthy hosting SNL.

443
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's always been great on SNL. Of course, you know,

444
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 2: Gangbusters came out, and Bridesmaids and and just was rolling

445
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 2: for a long time. But what what's the deal with

446
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: her career. I'm not saying your career is, you know,

447
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: gone down the tubes or anything like that. But she

448
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 2: doesn't have that pop she used to.

449
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, I mean she's I guess maybe been taking

450
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 7: a little bit of a break. I wouldn't be surprised

451
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 7: if she's writing something. She's married to, uh Ben Falcone,

452
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 7: who's also a writer and performer as well. So yeah,

453
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 7: I don't you know, I don't think there's anything negative happening.

454
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 7: I just think she probably you know, hasn't needed maybe

455
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 7: to work as much as she as she was.

456
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 2: No, maybe maybe it's just maybe something as simple as that.

457
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 2: Well good for her because all of us want to

458
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 2: work less. Correct Yes, yes, yes, yes, I know, I'll

459
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: put you on the spot. Did you see J Kelly

460
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: or No?

461
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 7: I have not seen J Kelly yet, but yeah, we

462
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 7: it's getting a lot of buzz.

463
00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 3: You know.

464
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 7: Golden Globe nominations will announced on Monday morning, and I

465
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 7: would not be surprised if we hear J Kelly several

466
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 7: times throughout the morning. I mean, Hollywood loves movies about Hollywood,

467
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 7: and George Clooney is pretty much beloved by everybody. You know,

468
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 7: people just say he's so disarming, and I think he's

469
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 7: pretty much playing himself in this movie. You know, he's

470
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 7: playing an aging Hollywood movie star. And yeah, so it

471
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 7: has all the all the trappings of Oscar bait and

472
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 7: Golden Globes bait written all over it.

473
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: I think, well, as a Cincinnati guy and his dad

474
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 2: was Cincinnati guy. You know, we all love George Clooney

475
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 2: here in the Tri State and you know, see that

476
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 2: movie come out. It was an aged movie star. But

477
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: if you haven't seen him in the last number of years,

478
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 2: the guy who is he's talking about pivoting Adam Sandler,

479
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,239
Speaker 2: and the last couple of dramatic roles he's played has

480
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 2: been absolutely phenomenal.

481
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 7: He is incredible. I mean, yeah, you're exactly right, Like

482
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 7: talk about a second act. You know, he switched from

483
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 7: Billy Madison and water Boy to you know, Uncut Gems

484
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 7: and all of these incredible films that you know, people

485
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 7: are always where did this come from? But you're right,

486
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 7: he's crushing it.

487
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I enjoy the last number of movies he's

488
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 2: been even really really strong. So look forward to seeing

489
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: this anyway, he is a Will Gance in New York

490
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: at Will Dance two s's so there you go, knives

491
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: out in theaters. But wait a week it'll be on Netflix.

00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 2: And then Peacock as Sarah Snook Melissa McCarthy on SNL

493
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 2: and Jay Kelly with George Clooney is on Netflix. I

494
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 2: believe Netflix. Yes, all the best, Buddy will talk next week.

495
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 7: Thanks again, all right, thanks again, have a great man.

496
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 2: Right, I appreciate it. There you go if you're maybe

497
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,239
Speaker 2: I don't know between sports and now we've got the

498
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 2: Crosstown shootout tonight at Sinta Center. Can the Bearcats do

499
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 2: what they haven't done since two thousand and one? And

500
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 2: that's actually when there we'll find out. We've got the

501
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: Bengals on Sunday, Sunday Sunday. Still waiting to hear what.

502
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: By the way, with speaking of U see bowl games,

503
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 2: and I'm not sure where they're going, but we'll see

504
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 2: what the speculation is. Not exactly you know, I fed

505
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: in the cat the last number of games for Scott Centerfield,

506
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: but nonetheless to go to a bowl maybe like the

507
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: Motor City or something like that, could be the Mayo Bowl.

508
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: That probably not the Pop Tart Bull that's almost too much,

509
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: not quite sure, And I said Bengals on Sunday at

510
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo against the Bills. I think it's gonna be pretty

511
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 2: good game. Actually, maybe just like two teams running. If

512
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: you like the running game, that may be it. Right there.

513
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 2: We'll find out together here All that and more this weekend.

514
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 2: Scott Sloan Show continues in about four minutes on seven

00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: Welcome to It's get to Austin about twelve thirty five

517
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 2: today here on the show. Fuck a little bit more

518
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 2: sports action. Uh do we have a deadbeat mayor? This

519
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: is the damnedest story. Uh so, if you haven't heard yet,

520
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 2: Mayor a f Taed pure Vall of Cincinnati had his

521
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: car repossessed. It's making news. Wait a bit, you're the

522
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: mayor and you're getting your car repode? How does that work?

523
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 2: What are you doing? What are you thinking? Here's what

524
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 2: I think and kind of knowing a this because you know, uh,

525
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 2: renting properties and stuff like that. I've seen tenants before.

526
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: Who I you know, when you have credit reports, poll

527
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: to see if they're going to actually pay rent, you know,

528
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 2: how well or not well they're doing. And it's funny

529
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: because he seen that before, where you have someone who's

530
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: making more than enough morning to afford the rental, and

531
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 2: yet for some reason, every single month they pay late.

532
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: They pay the thirty five dollars laid fee after grace

533
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 2: period of ten days. They yeah, middle of the mouth,

534
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 2: they gotta pay. Well, yeah, I could see you know,

535
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 2: your living paycheck to paycheck, maybe not paid to the

536
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 2: fifteenth or something along those lines. And some of those

537
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 2: as well. And this one though, was like, were you

538
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: pretty doing all right? You should have the money. There's

539
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: some people that just literally give zero. You know what,

540
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: I wonder if I have to have that guy. I

541
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 2: don't know what that says about him as a politician

542
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 2: or a mayor for that matter. And I'll let you

543
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 2: decide what that mean. I don't know if it means anything,

544
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: but I've seen that before, Like you got your car repossessed.

545
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: You know there's auto pay, right, you're not super old,

546
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 2: were you don't understand how that works? And you know

547
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 2: you're still showing up and paying in cash or writing

548
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 2: a check once a month or something like that. And

549
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 2: you know, I have other other attendants who are older

550
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 2: and they have a fear of anything, you know, but

551
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 2: involving technologies, they're going to get a money order to

552
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 2: write a check or something like that and whatever. There's

553
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 2: a fee for that as well. It's like it's just

554
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 2: easier to have it drawn out of you account once

555
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 2: a month. You never to forget it. But yeah, the afterthing,

556
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: it's really weird because you know, he said, well, you know,

557
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,239
Speaker 2: I just I didn't know that. I thought I had

558
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 2: autopay on. It wasn't. Here's the thing, so, you know,

559
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 2: we moved over the summer and I have it set

560
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: up for our house from Duke, and honestly, seriously, just

561
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 2: what two days ago I received notice from Duke that said, hey,

562
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 2: the your tillers are going to get shut off in

563
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: ten days if you don't pay just f way, and

564
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 2: they texted me, I got an email, I got a

565
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 2: phone call. And it's because I thought it was on

566
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 2: at the payment wasn't. That's a legitimate mistake, like, oh,

567
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 2: I thought I had that set up, got it set up,

568
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 2: and okay, no problem whatever. So I don't know much

569
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 2: about the repossession game, but know enough about the law

570
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 2: to go I'm pretty sure they just don't show up

571
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: after sixty days and take your rig. I've never been

572
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: through that. Maybe you're in the I don't know, maybe

573
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 2: we had any REPO agents listening to the show tot

574
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 2: truck drivers. I'm curious because it seems to me that

575
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 2: you would have a couple notices initially that you're passed to.

576
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 2: You know, I missed your payment, you missed one payment,

577
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,719
Speaker 2: two payment, whatever it might be. I don't know how

578
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: many payments you missed before they take your stuff, But

579
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: given to the first one, they give you enough notice.

580
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: There's letters, there's calls, there's emails, Hey, payment's overdue, and

581
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: then within thirty to sixty days, and that thirty sixty

582
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 2: to win it. Then you get the default notice where hey,

583
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: guess what you're in default and we may repossess your

584
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: vehicle if you don't catch up. And then in some states,

585
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 2: and I think, oh HOYAUA is one, it's called right

586
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 2: to cure, and lenders have to send you a formal

587
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 2: file notice, a final notice to bring the loan current

588
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 2: before they can repossess. So it's not like it's, hey,

589
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: I missed my bill. Oh I'm going to hit a

590
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 2: late fee. It has to go on for literally a

591
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: couple month, a few months of not paying your bill

592
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 2: before before they repossess your car. So that then brings

593
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 2: in the question of like, well, you know, I know

594
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 2: his wife is a I believe she's in internest, she's

595
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: a doctor. He makes you one hundred and what is it,

596
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 2: fifty to sixty grand? Whatever it is is mayor so

597
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 2: you know they're doing well. Now you don't know what

598
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: they're how their day to days aren't what they spend

599
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: their money on. There's a lot of people who make

600
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: a lot more money than that and live paycheck to paycheck.

601
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people who make a lot less

602
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 2: than that and can save some money. Just depends how

603
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 2: now you're wired. But I look at that and go yeah.

604
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: Initially it's like, Okay, just thought he had autopy. He didn't.

605
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: But how many notifications do you get from the lender

606
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 2: before they repossess your vehicle. It has to be several

607
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 2: and not just oh, we emailed you got the wrong

608
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: email address. They've got you. You know, you took out a loan,

609
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 2: They've got your phone number, they have your address, they've

610
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: got your email, They've probably I think at some point

611
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: probably sent you a registered letter or something like that.

612
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: I just I don't understand why I'm getting the benefit

613
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: of doubt here is why you would ignore that, unless,

614
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: of course, maybe he did ignore it deliberately. I don't

615
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,719
Speaker 2: know if we'll ever know, but it certainly is an

616
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: interesting damnedest thing, or if I mayor having his car

617
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: repossessed interesting, very very interesting. I was asked, well, we'll

618
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 2: get in this in just a little bit here too.

619
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 2: By the way, we've been talking a lot about medical

620
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: debt and the like, and Michelle grimmleb be here momentarily.

621
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 2: There's a bill that's under consideration now in the state

622
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: House that will involve that and getting people relief and

623
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 2: actually buying these things so allow it's more subsidient. This

624
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 2: is interesting taking the money and a buying debt for

625
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 2: pennies on the dollar and paying people's and discharging people's

626
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,479
Speaker 2: medical debt in the state. And it's not just a

627
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 2: Democrat type of thing. Republican. I believe Genie Schmidt is

628
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 2: the one who is also sponsoring this. We'll talk to

629
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: about we'll talk about that coming up next, I should say.

630
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 2: Right after a quick news update on the Home of

631
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: the Best Bengals coverage. This as seven hundred WW. Since

632
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: don't want to Scott's long show back on seven hundred WLW.

633
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: Fun fat. Here's a fun fact to start your busy day.

634
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 2: The amount of money that we spend in healthcare in

635
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 2: the United States has tripled since two thousand, So in

636
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 2: less than a quarter century, less than twenty five years,

637
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: the amount of money we spend on healthcare has tripled.

638
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 2: So one point four trillion to five trillion, pretty close

639
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,719
Speaker 2: to triple. Right in the fall, the city of Cincinnati

640
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: gave money to wipe wipeout medical debt. Kind of a

641
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: controversial story, but that was done just a few months

642
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 2: ago as a matter of fact. So next up, though,

643
00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 2: state wide, is Ohio's Medical Debt Fairness Act. What is that? Well? Well,

644
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: Ohio Representative Michelle Grim out of Toledo, out of the

645
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 2: Glass Cities here, she is a sponsor of House Bill

646
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 2: two fifty seven. Michelle, how are you?

647
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 6: I'm great? How are you, Scott?

648
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 2: I'm doing fine? All is well in the Glass City?

649
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 6: I presume, yeah, all as well?

650
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: All right? I had I think Gary Jeff Walker, one

651
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: of our guys at work here, was driving through Toledo,

652
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: was thinking to me, said I stopped and had a

653
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,239
Speaker 2: Pacos honky dog. And let me tell you something, if

654
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: you're passing through child to stop at Tony Paco's and

655
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: get some chili, get a honky dog. Much different than

656
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 2: Cincinnati style, but pleasing none the loss. All right, So

657
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: medical debt has I think it's the still the leading

658
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: source and has been for a while leading source on

659
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: paid bills and credit reports for a long time now.

660
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 2: In medical debt's like sixty percent of consumer debt on

661
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 2: credit reports, which is incredible. So that those that's the

662
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 2: rail that we're facing here. So what does House Bill

663
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 2: two fifty seven do? What's your proposal to do?

664
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 3: Sure?

665
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 4: So House still two fifty seven would do three key things.

666
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 4: It would prohibit hospitals collectors from reporting on credit reports,

667
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 4: it would band wage gurnishment, and it would cap interest

668
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 4: of medical debt odes to three percent, because right now

669
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 4: we have a statutory eight percent interest, so that would

670
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 4: cap that at three percent.

671
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's start with a three percent medical to

672
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: the interest that you would pay right now on any

673
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: medical bill is certainly higher than three percent, and that

674
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 2: keeps up with inflation, presumably tied to maybe tied to

675
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,239
Speaker 2: inflation here. But typically how much of that debt are

676
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 2: we talkingbou how much should people just pay an interest

677
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 2: on medical debt?

678
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 3: Now?

679
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 4: So I, you know, I think that's hard to gauge,

680
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 4: but I would say that the average person has about

681
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 4: the average person PAS medical debt has about twelve hundred dollars,

682
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 4: and while we don't report under five hundred dollars and

683
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 4: credit reports right now, that's taking away about the majority

684
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 4: of people who have medical debts and not giving them

685
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 4: a chance to repair their credit or purchase.

686
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 6: A home or even get a job.

687
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 4: Because credit reports are they can hinder people getting a job,

688
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 4: or getting an apartment or getting a mortgage. So so

689
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 4: that that leaves a lot of people out well.

690
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 2: Getting getting insurance for that. But like car insurance for example,

691
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: everybody pulls your credit.

692
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 4: Report now, yeah, for sure, And so our bill would

693
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 4: prohibit any type of credit reporting and medical debt.

694
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 2: All right, So on that one of the one of

695
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 2: the complaints you hear from the debt collection industry, which

696
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 2: I can't imagine a lot of people siding with the

697
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 2: debt collection industry, but it says, hey, listen, you're essentially

698
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 2: encouraging people to be dead beats. Basically, what they're saying

699
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: is that if you take the conscious consequence away from

700
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: people for non payment, that's going to lead the higher

701
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,479
Speaker 2: healthcare costs for everyone because people look at it going, well,

702
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: I don't have to pay it. The government's going too,

703
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 2: and you know there's a moral hazard there obviously too.

704
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 2: And that's that's the problem with universal healthcare is you know,

705
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 2: well people just simply go to the emergency. If I

706
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 2: don't have to pay for it, I'll overuse it. That's

707
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 2: a theory.

708
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,720
Speaker 4: So you would still have to pay your bills, of course,

709
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 4: because it would just not be on your credit report.

710
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 4: But I would also argue that there's been studies that

711
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:36,479
Speaker 4: said medical debt is a poor indicator of paying other

712
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 4: types of credit.

713
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 8: So if you had credit.

714
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 6: Cards, or paying your mortgage, or paying.

715
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 4: Your light bill, your electric bill, but if you have

716
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 4: medical debt, that's a poor indicator of whether you're going

717
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 4: to pay other debts back. And people do you want

718
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 4: to pay off their medical bills. Medical bills can be

719
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 4: medical debt can be embarrassing, but it's not their fault.

720
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 4: It's really a fault of a broken system. It's not

721
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 4: a debt of luxury.

722
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 8: It is a debt of necessity.

723
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 4: So that's what I would argue back, is that people

724
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 4: people do want to pay their bills back, and putting

725
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 4: these predatory practices in place hinders a lot of people

726
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 4: from doing that.

727
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: In that regard, Michelle Grim, is there a means test

728
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: or income requirement? I mean, you know, it sounds all

729
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 2: well and good that people do want to pay their

730
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 2: debts off generally speaking, But how do we separate people

731
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 2: who generally can't afford to pay versus those who simply

732
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 2: say I'm not going to pay or choose not to pay.

733
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 4: So I think that there when you look at the studies,

734
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 4: it's a lot of people who cannot afford to pay,

735
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 4: a lot of people do want to pay their bills,

736
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 4: but they simply can't afford it.

737
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 6: They're they're choosing.

738
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 4: Between putting food on the table, or paying their their

739
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 4: electric bill, or paying their mortgage, or paying their.

740
00:35:59,239 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 3: Medical debt off.

741
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 4: So it's it is a lot of people who don't

742
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 4: have any savings or anything like that. A lot of

743
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 4: people don't have one thousand dollars for an emergency, and

744
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 4: that's why we're putting people in a bind with medical debt.

745
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 4: But we want to help people with.

746
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 8: House book to fifty seven.

747
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is Michelle Grimm. She's out of Toledo House

748
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 2: Bill two fifty seven. She's go sponsoring this one to

749
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: help people with medical debt because one in three Ohioans

750
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 2: carry some sort of medical debts. A number one cause

751
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 2: of bankrow, I think with the top two costs of

752
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 2: bankruptcy in the United States, but one drives the other.

753
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 2: Job lessness would be number one, and health insurance bankruptcy

754
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 2: is another one, and I think those two go hand

755
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 2: in hand because for a lot of people, their jobs

756
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 2: and healthcare tied together, which is part of the problem.

757
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 2: This would limit medical interest to what you say, three

758
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 2: percent a year. You can't guarn someone's wages for medical

759
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 2: debt collection, and hospitals and providers can't report medical debt

760
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 2: to credit agencies right now. And I think in the

761
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 2: last few years were reformed it to be. I believe Michelle,

762
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 2: unpaid medical bills were kicked over to credit reporting agencies

763
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 2: after like sixty or on hundred and twenty days and

764
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 2: now it's a full year correct correct. Yeah, So, I

765
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 2: mean even the credit industry has said, hey, you know,

766
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: we've got to wet, we got to ease back a

767
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 2: little bit here Maan after a full year. Now, does

768
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 2: that mean that people aren't making any payments whatsoever? If

769
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 2: you pay a little bit of money, does that keep

770
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 2: you from being reported to credit agencies? How does that work?

771
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 2: Or is that with this what two fifty seven seeks

772
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 2: to do.

773
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 8: So I think it depends.

774
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 4: I think typically I think if you're making payments that

775
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 4: it would not be reported. But I think in some

776
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 4: instances you will see reports that like people are making

777
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 4: payments or maybe they fell behind so and you know

778
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 4: what I was talking about before, they maybe sell behind

779
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 4: one or two months and then it gets reported on

780
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 4: the credit report. So you know, the system isn't really

781
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 4: fair for consumers, and we want to make it a

782
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 4: little fair for people to get ahead, for people to

783
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 4: have a fighting chance. So you know, I think that

784
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 4: a lot of the arguments against this too is around

785
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 4: wage garnishments. I do want your listeners to look up

786
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 4: this article from Signal, Ohio about a rural hospital of

787
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 4: Logan County who has who has sued twenty seven hundred

788
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 4: patients in the last two years. Yeah, and a lot

789
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,959
Speaker 4: of their a lot of the judgments in court were

790
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 4: wage garnishments. So people are paying up to twenty five

791
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 4: percent of their they're getting up to twenty five percent

792
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 4: of their checks garnished their payroll checks, plus they're paying

793
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 4: that eight percent interest, So.

794
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 2: That's that's pretty cool. I think most people listening, Oh wow, okay,

795
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure I want to stay can medical

796
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 2: bills at the same time, like, how am I supposed

797
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 2: to live if i'm that's almost like child support? Right

798
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: in child support, you had a conscious shouldn't have a child,

799
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 2: and you provide for your child. That's a different matter

800
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 2: than Hey, I just got sick, and maybe I got

801
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: sick because it's something at work or I fell or

802
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 2: something along the way, and it happens all of us

803
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 2: at some point or another. And now that we're taking

804
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 2: a quarter of your wages, that seems confiscate. How can

805
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 2: you live on the other seventy five percent?

806
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 8: And can I go back to what you just said?

807
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,479
Speaker 4: So we're not again, we're not suggesting that the state

808
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 4: is paying medical bills. We're just saying we're going to

809
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 4: have these parameters of credit reports, wage garnership, and interest rates.

810
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 8: So I just wanted to kind of.

811
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair.

812
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 3: I was.

813
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 2: I was referring more to what we did in Cincinnati

814
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 2: not long ago when council approved a million and a

815
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 2: half to a nonprofit that collected money and wiped out

816
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,959
Speaker 2: about two hundred twenty million debt for twelve thousand Cincinnatians

817
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 2: and just buying the debt from the credit companies.

818
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 4: So I asked, actually did that in Toledo about It'll

819
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 4: be three years ago, So Toledo kind of led the

820
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 4: way for cities. County was the first one, and so

821
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 4: we actually eliminated debt for about one hundred and twelve

822
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 4: thousand people around the region, including forty three thousand Lucas

823
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 4: County residents. And that no profit is undo medical debt.

824
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 4: They do great work, so and they negotiate directly with

825
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 4: the hospitals.

826
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, I contemplate that one because this is outside

827
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 2: of your scope as a state lawmaker, Michelle Grimm. But

828
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 2: the beef I have, like, for example, the government shutdown

829
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 2: over Obamacare and the ACA. You know we're fighting over

830
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 2: subsidy is the problem. It's not not healthcare. We're so

831
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 2: we're taking money from a group of taxpayers and transferring

832
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: it to another money of ped taxpayers without addressing the

833
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 2: problem in Congress for a long time, and we would

834
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 2: need all this stuff if we would just reform healthcare

835
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 2: properly instead of having Democrats and Republicans fight each other

836
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 2: and and do this insane stuff. I mean, Obamacare, it

837
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 2: makes it doesn't make it affordable. Uh, it's extremely expensive,

838
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 2: is the problem. The Affordable Care Act is a misnomer.

839
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 2: You're just here, You're subsidizing something that's extremely expended. Let's

840
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 2: figure out why we're paying you know, three times more

841
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 2: than most double what most countries are for less health

842
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 2: care doesn't make any sense.

843
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, I would absolutely agree with that, and

844
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 4: I would I would say that a lot of people

845
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 4: in the healthcare space, looking at the core problem, which

846
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 4: is our work at healthcare system, it would absolutely agree

847
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 4: with that. And so I know we're here not to

848
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 4: talk about and do. But what what they're able to

849
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 4: do is they're able to purchase that pennies on the

850
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 4: dollar from hospital systems or second second, the secondary market.

851
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 8: But you know, people do.

852
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 7: Uh.

853
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 4: People, you know I've gotten I've gotten a lot of

854
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 4: emails and a lot of calls saying like I got

855
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 4: a letter from New Medical Debt, thank you very much.

856
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 4: It really did help a lot of people. But yes,

857
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:18,439
Speaker 4: you are correct, it does not solve the broken healthcare system, right,

858
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 4: and you know that's what you know, that's what we

859
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 4: need to keep working on. And so bills like House

860
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 4: still to fifty seven they make the rules a little

861
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 4: bit fairer.

862
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 8: But we still have a lot of.

863
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 3: Work to do.

864
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned Logan County, Small and Logan Counties right

865
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 2: in our listing areas in the I think around the

866
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 2: where the Armstrong Space, you know, Wapa Canetta up that way. Yeah, yeah,

867
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 2: about an hour an hour and a half hour forty

868
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 2: minutes from us here in Cincinnati, So Logan County pastor,

869
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 2: and if you're going up north to Toledo, for example,

870
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 2: so in that county you said that, you know, they're

871
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 2: garnishing people's wages and like, and I kind of get

872
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,280
Speaker 2: that in a sense is I don't know if they're

873
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 2: being confiscatory and it's you know, the evil capitalists world.

874
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 2: This mustache in the corner lighting a cigar with one

875
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 2: thousand dollars bills. But in some sense, hospitals, and especially

876
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 2: rural hospitals are under struggles right now. We're having a

877
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 2: number of them close as a result of the healthcare

878
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,720
Speaker 2: system which is not going to serve anyone in those areas.

879
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,439
Speaker 2: How do you ensure they still get fair payment while

880
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 2: protecting the patients from excessive debt collection practices.

881
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 4: So I think what's going to hurt our rural hospitals

882
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 4: in the long run is the cuts to Medicaid and

883
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 4: Medicare and also the increased costs because the ACA SUN subsidies.

884
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 8: May go away.

885
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 4: So that's going to be really where they're going to

886
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 4: get hit the hardest. It's not gonna be because they

887
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 4: can't put it on our report or they can't garnish wages.

888
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 4: A lot of hospitals actually don't garnish wages or through

889
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 4: their patients. This is actually a pretty aggressive practice with

890
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 4: this one hospital because actually a lot of hospitals.

891
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 8: Don't do that.

892
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 4: They you know, tend to try to work with the

893
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 4: patient or or they you send it to that collection, right,

894
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 4: But not every but not every hospital does that. A

895
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 4: couple of the hospitals in the area in the state

896
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 4: have said that this doesn't this build has those two

897
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 4: fifty seven doesn't really affect us. It doesn't affect our operations.

898
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 8: So but so, yeah, that's what I would say is.

899
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 2: That maybe it's just but maybe more like the rural

900
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 2: I mean, because you look at rural areas that are

901
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 2: losing population and they've got one hospital or clinic and

902
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 2: now you've got fewer people in there. So I get

903
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 2: the model. Whereas in Cincinnati and Dayton, Toledo, in bigger cities,

904
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 2: you can absorb those costs, but better you have more

905
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 2: people to draw.

906
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, but but again I think that what's coming down

907
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 4: the pipeline here is our cuts to Medicaid and our

908
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 4: cuts to Medicare and the AC subsidies going away. It's

909
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 4: really going to hurt our rural hospital system. Not prohibiting

910
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 4: putting medical debt or credible.

911
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 2: It's a hospital two fifty seven, and medical debt is

912
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 2: a crisis in America, has been for a long time.

913
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 2: Makes up about sixty percent of our consumer debt. This

914
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 2: would limit the interest on that to three percent a

915
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 2: heared capit of three percent interest, ban wage garnishment for

916
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 2: medical debt collections, and stop hospitals and providers and debt

917
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 2: collectors from reporting that debt to credit agencies provided you're

918
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 2: paying something. I mean, isn't it safe to say in

919
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 2: the end most hospitals, gey, hey, listen, I owe all

920
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 2: this money, and here's what I make. We've got to

921
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 2: work on a payment plan, whether it's you know, twenty

922
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 2: bucks a month or something like that, which you'll never

923
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 2: touch it, but at least I'm giving you something. Does

924
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 2: that satisfy most hospitals if put the effort in so,

925
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 2: you know, I think I can't speak for the hospital systems,

926
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 2: but certainly a lot of the hospital.

927
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 4: Systems do work out payment plans. They also offer charity

928
00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 4: care options. People can ask for charity care options. Then

929
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 4: I would really encourage uh folks to do that and

930
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 4: just kind of look at all of your options. So

931
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 4: if you if you do have medical debt or bills

932
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 4: you can't pay, ask questions. So this is kind of

933
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 4: my call to action for everybody. Ask questions. Ask you know, hey,

934
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 4: why was I charged this? Or can I set up.

935
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:20,479
Speaker 8: A payment plan?

936
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 4: Or hey, I can't afford this right now? So I

937
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 4: would say keep you know, negotiate with the hospital or

938
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 4: the debt collection agency, and just make sure that you're

939
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 4: uh negotiating that way, because you you do have negotiating

940
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:43,280
Speaker 4: power and you can work on uh making sure.

941
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 8: That you you do you do keep up with.

942
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 4: Your bills and you don't fall behind, and it does

943
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 4: go on your credit report until you know, until just

944
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 4: stas so so so yeah, I would say, like, you know,

945
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 4: just work, you know, talk, talk to the hospitals, look

946
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 4: at your medical bills, ask questions, and you know the

947
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,879
Speaker 4: hospitals should be happy.

948
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 3: To work with you.

949
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 2: Right. Uh, Michelle, that you have biopartisan sport for those

950
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 2: a bipartination.

951
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, absolutely, it touches every So my my joint

952
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 4: sponsor is Representative Jean Schmidt.

953
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 8: So uh, you know, it.

954
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 4: Touches everybody's district, everybody's district. Ye, so you know it's

955
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 4: not just rural districts or urban districts or suburban district

956
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:34,959
Speaker 4: is everybody's district.

957
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 6: And everybody everybody.

958
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 4: Knows someone who has had medical debt or has medical

959
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 4: debt currently. And you know, again, we want to make

960
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 4: sure that the playing field is a little fair for people,

961
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 4: and we want to make sure people get ahead and

962
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 4: not keep them down. And I think the household two

963
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 4: fifty seven, Uh, while it doesn't fix everything, it makes

964
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 4: us a little bit closer to uh.

965
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 8: A fare system.

966
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes sense. Jeene Schmid in the sixty second district,

967
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 2: so you know, fairly rural areas there too, Claremont County,

968
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 2: so it has urban and rural support. And it's bipartisan,

969
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 2: which I like a lot. And it also helps people

970
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 2: and it doesn't seem to unfairly incentivize someone not to

971
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 2: pay their bills, which which I like. She is Michelle Grimm,

972
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 2: Democrat at Toledo Houspill fifty spence two fifty seven, along

973
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 2: with Jeanie Schmidt here in Claremont County, and I wish

974
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 2: all the best, thanks again for coming on the show.

975
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 2: Thank you Scott so too long didn't read. We have

976
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 2: a government buying back medical debt from pennies on the

977
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:39,399
Speaker 2: Dottarm to discharge that debt for Ohioans, while the other

978
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 2: side of the government causes our healthcare insurance to be

979
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 2: so cost prohibitive people go into debt for it. One hand,

980
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 2: I don't know breaking the other so to speak. I

981
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 2: don't know what to make of this. Just address the

982
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 2: core issue about that, not at the state level, but

983
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 2: at the federal level. We've got a news update. We'll

984
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 2: switch it up. Bengals at Buffalo this week and Austin

985
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 2: Elmore here from ESPN fifteen thirty. We'll talk about that

986
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 2: and Kyle Schwarber watch as well on seven hundred W WELW.

987
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 2: Here we go on this Friday morning, sports, sports and

988
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 2: more sports At ten forty one. Austin Elmore from ESPN

989
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty is here. He's on at noon with Tony

990
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 2: Pike and here to talk about everything sports, including the

991
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 2: Crosstown shootout tonight. Dan Hord told me at nine oh

992
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 2: six that he had an afro the last time that

993
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 2: the UC Bearcats won at Sinta Center, which I fully

994
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 2: believe two.

995
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 9: Thousand and one. Yeah, I'm sure Dan had some last hair.

996
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 9: I'm sure Dan had some lettuce up there. Sick chatty,

997
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 9: we need to uncover some of those old Dan Ord photo.

998
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

999
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,240
Speaker 9: I wonder like, did he ever go through a phase

1000
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 9: when he was in his late teens early twenties where

1001
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 9: you know, it grew out a little sit I added

1002
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 9: down by.

1003
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 2: The shoulders that looked like a dandelion. Yeah, I would

1004
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 2: like to see if I'm sure Dan's listening, Dan, feel

1005
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 2: free to send those photos along, they said, I naphro

1006
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 2: and yeah, two thousand and one, and where he has

1007
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 2: probably had like the acid washed denim jacket with the

1008
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 2: teal and the cranberry color. I could totally see in

1009
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 2: the nineties. Yeah, look about him. So all right, we

1010
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 2: got to shoot out tonight. Yeah, does you see get

1011
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,720
Speaker 2: off the schneid? Probably not? No, No, you can't.

1012
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 7: No.

1013
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 9: I mean, why should I believe? It's been twenty four

1014
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 9: years since they've won there. I need to like actually

1015
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 9: see it to believe that they're going to do it.

1016
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 9: And I think both these teams are kind of going

1017
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,959
Speaker 9: in the opposite direction. Like Xavier has a really bad

1018
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 9: start but has slowly, you know, increased and trended up

1019
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 9: since then, whereas Cincinnati they just really are kind of

1020
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 9: meddling below what anybody expected them to be, still struggling

1021
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 9: a little bit offensively, inconsistent shooters, They've had some injuries.

1022
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 9: They just never feel like they show up when they're

1023
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 9: supposed to show up. I think for the sake of

1024
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 9: the rivalry, it would be great rate if you see

1025
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 9: goes in there and wins. I do think though, it

1026
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 9: would be really funny if in two seasons, with two

1027
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 9: very different expectations on both sides, Xavier once again is

1028
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,280
Speaker 9: the boogeyman to you see, And I would be curious

1029
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 9: to see what that would mean for Wes Miller.

1030
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know what that that is absolutely correct.

1031
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 9: I mean I truly don't have a dog in the fight,

1032
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 9: Like I have no allegiance to either one of them.

1033
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 9: But to me, the story is less about the game

1034
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 9: and more about what happens to Wes Miller if they

1035
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 9: lose it. That's that if the Bearcats lose it, So

1036
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,280
Speaker 9: that to me is the story of the shootout.

1037
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 2: Radsury signed Emilio Pegan with a really good contract actually

1038
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 2: two years ten and he gets, you know, one year

1039
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 2: out for the club and all that, and some people

1040
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 2: are reading that as well, that's because they're getting everything

1041
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 2: together to sign Kyle Schwarber. How much are we buying

1042
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 2: that that that's gonna happen because there's a Yeah, there's

1043
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 2: a lot of smoke there. Yeah, but I just wonder

1044
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 2: if it's not off season. I think there's a lot

1045
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 2: more smoke than anybody anticipated. And when you look at

1046
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 2: legitimate Major League Baseball insiders, guys like Ken Rosenthal and

1047
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 2: Buster Only and Jeff Passen and John Hayman, when all

1048
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 2: those guys are saying something that tells me that there

1049
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 2: is serious interest by the Reds to try to pursue

1050
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber. I also think there is interest from Kyle

1051
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 2: Schwarber to play in Cincinnati.

1052
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 9: Why wouldn't there be that? Being said, he's thirty two

1053
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,800
Speaker 9: years old and this is his last chance to really

1054
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 9: cash in. So, if you're Schwarber, do you want to

1055
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 9: take a hometown discount? Because the Reds are not. Even

1056
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 9: if they make an exception to spend more money this

1057
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 9: offseason than what we have already been told they're going

1058
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 9: to spend, they're still not going to be able to

1059
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 9: compete with Philadelphia and New York and others.

1060
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 2: From a financial standpoint.

1061
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 9: Now, let's be clear, the Reds have more money and

1062
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 9: they can spend more money than they let on. They

1063
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 9: choose not to spend more more money. That is their choice.

1064
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 9: They run the business, that's their you know, their progative.

1065
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 9: They can do whatever they want with their money. However,

1066
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 9: it makes you wonder would they be willing to make

1067
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 9: an exception on their business plan and their model to

1068
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 9: go after Kyle Schwarber And what would that mean in return?

1069
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 9: More season tickets, more Jersey sales, more. I think these

1070
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 9: are the things they're trying to balance. I think they

1071
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 9: want Kyle Schwarber at their price, which might be it

1072
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,760
Speaker 9: would require, truthfully, Bob Castellini, the and the Red's ownership

1073
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,760
Speaker 9: group to make an exception for the way that they

1074
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 9: plan on building this team. I don't know if that's

1075
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 9: going to happen, but I do think it's a lot

1076
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:47,479
Speaker 9: more realistic than anybody thought it would be going into

1077
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 9: this office.

1078
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 2: One of those were they're paying him ten years after

1079
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 2: he That's that's a great way point.

1080
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 9: And I've been trying to ask around it and kind

1081
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 9: of wonder what the Reds thoughts are on that, because

1082
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 9: they haven't done it a long time. Griffy just expired

1083
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 9: a couple of years ago. Bronson Arroyo was the last guy.

1084
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 9: I think that they did it with right and with

1085
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 9: a labor a workstopage almost certainly going to happen next summer.

1086
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 9: I wonder how much that would play into the role

1087
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 9: on both sides, Kyle Schwarber thinking about money down the

1088
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 9: road or the Red's thinking about money down the road. Yeah,

1089
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 9: all right, well we'll see how that plays out. There's

1090
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:23,359
Speaker 9: plenty of time.

1091
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 2: In a lot of time, let's get to the game

1092
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 2: on Sunday the Bengals at the Bills Orchard Park and

1093
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 2: get a little bit of snow, nothing crazy thirty one

1094
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 2: degrees and some snow flurries. I will point something out

1095
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 2: because I know you love things like this. Austin Elmore

1096
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 2: that can only imagine what this is going to be.

1097
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 2: At high Mark Stadium, they have like the Bengals do here,

1098
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 2: they have something called the battle Boat and it's a

1099
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 2: I don't know where you get it, but it's a

1100
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 2: boat of waffle fries. Oh. On one half of this

1101
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 2: they introduced this last year and it's a big hit

1102
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 2: waffle fries. On one side is the Buffalo style ingredients,

1103
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 2: which would be shaved roast, beef, chatter, horse, Riddish pickle,

1104
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 2: caraway seeds. So it's a beef on weck sure, okay,

1105
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 2: as opposed to a chicken wing one. What do you

1106
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 2: think that since Natty Sis you said waffle fries, waffle

1107
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 2: fries and they do team ingredients there, so sure there

1108
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 2: would be some sort of chili like a chili cheese

1109
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 2: fry type of thing, kill bassa coleslaw, barbecue sauce, sweet pickles.

1110
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 2: So that's like, that's not us at all that's Cleveland. Yeah, yeah,

1111
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 2: that's insulting. You mean, this is the straw. There you go,

1112
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 2: it's over there, you go. You guys have done It's

1113
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:38,359
Speaker 2: it's too far. It's a bridge, a bridge. We've got

1114
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 2: to polish people all of the kind of operation or

1115
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 2: you guys run just I'm just putting it out.

1116
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 9: Everybody's focused on the new stadium. Nobody really thinking right,

1117
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 9: got to step up? Can you get so? It makes

1118
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 9: me wonder the last time the Bengals played there was

1119
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 9: in the playoffs. Did they serve that then?

1120
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1121
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 9: No, this is the second year they've done the bat

1122
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 9: Speaking of boats, I want to give a shout out

1123
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 9: really quickly to the Baltimore Ravens because on Thanksgiving night

1124
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 9: when the Bengals played there, they gave away to all

1125
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:16,240
Speaker 9: their fans a Baltimore Ravens gravy boat. What an awesome

1126
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 9: giveaway for Thanksgiving. Yeah, that's a really good idea. A

1127
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:24,320
Speaker 9: gravy boat. Yeah damn, that's a little of Baltimore Ravens

1128
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 9: and Sidney gravy boat.

1129
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, instead of like you know, a

1130
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:29,359
Speaker 2: mug or something.

1131
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 9: When the last time the Bengals did a giveaway at

1132
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 9: a game other than like rally towels. I don't know

1133
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 9: that they ever had that. I can remember that they

1134
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 9: sent for now any of the Reds. Their whole identity

1135
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 9: is bobblehead.

1136
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 2: Bobblehood.

1137
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 9: I have a friend who went to the Bengals Giants

1138
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 9: game last year. They gave away a Tom Coughlin bobblehead.

1139
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 9: He brought it back for me. It was cool as hell.

1140
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 9: That's pretty cool. I don't think the Bengals do that. No,

1141
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 9: I wish they would. There, I've said it, all right,

1142
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 9: you guys spoke your peace. Let's talk about this game.

1143
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 9: I don't know what make of this game. I don't

1144
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 9: know which team show. I don't know which Bengals team

1145
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 9: shows up. I don't know which Bills team shows. Yeah,

1146
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,919
Speaker 9: two very similar teams in the sense of like one

1147
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,399
Speaker 9: minute they look like they're really good and the next

1148
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 9: minute they look like they could miss the playoffs. And

1149
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 9: it feels like from what I've been reading with Buffalo

1150
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 9: that they kind of feel like their back is up

1151
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 9: against the walls, especially offensively. Yeah, they ran the ball

1152
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 9: for two hundred and fifty yards last week against Pittsburgh,

1153
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 9: but the pass game still hasn't been great. Joe Brady's

1154
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 9: under a lot of pressure, and hell Sean McDermott said,

1155
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 9: we know our backs are against the wall because they're

1156
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 9: trying to make a run at winning the division and

1157
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 9: being able to host a playoff game, and the way

1158
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 9: New England's playing, I don't know that that's going to

1159
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 9: be possible. But the way that the Bills have played,

1160
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 9: it's been very inconsistent. And the Bengals offense, I think

1161
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 9: is right now trending in the right direction against Buffalo

1162
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 9: because Buffalo's defense is one of the worst in the

1163
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 9: NFL against the run. The Bengals offense running the football

1164
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 9: over the last month and a half has been the

1165
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 9: best in the National Football League. And here's a ridiculous

1166
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 9: stat that I bet you know as a Bills fan

1167
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 9: that a lot of people listening don't know. The Buffalo

1168
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 9: Bills have a higher missed tackle percentage than the Cincinnati Bengals.

1169
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 2: Yes, I knew that. Is that not hard?

1170
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 9: If you've watched a Bengals game this year, you've seen

1171
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 9: the worst tackling team maybe in history, But the Bills

1172
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 9: are actually worse.

1173
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 2: I watch both teams every week and I'm not going

1174
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,439
Speaker 2: to say this, the date is wrong, but I don't

1175
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 2: see it. I mean, maybe it's because the Bengals a

1176
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 2: lot with on bigger plays, maybe, but the inability to

1177
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 2: tackle solo just perplexes me to And then when you're

1178
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 2: looking for it, you see it more. You know, it's

1179
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 2: one of those.

1180
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 9: Now it's like fifteen percent for Buffalo, thirteen percent for

1181
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 9: the Bengals, so it's very close. But either way, I

1182
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 9: think you could look at this and say, maybe it's

1183
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 9: a track.

1184
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 2: But the thing that ails the Bills is and it

1185
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 2: sounds I'm not making excuses because there's a number of

1186
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 2: things outside of this that ail the Bills as well,

1187
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 2: is the number of injuries, and it's just it is

1188
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 2: not it's a non stop. It's not. I think there're

1189
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 2: two or three league now, you know, when your kicker

1190
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 2: doesn't kick for the entire season, it's gonna be one

1191
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 2: of those years. And even you know, this past week

1192
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 2: we're like, okay, well cornerbacks, we'll get into that. But

1193
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 2: you know when you sign a guy that says, yeah,

1194
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 2: you know what I think about retiring, and then the

1195
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 2: guy in Jamarkus King of the cornerback did for Darius Slay.

1196
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 2: The guy that you release make room on the squad

1197
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 2: goes to get signed by Houston, and now not only

1198
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 2: you're down essentially two cornerbacks.

1199
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1200
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 2: No, By the way, T Higgins is coming back this week.

1201
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 2: At least it looks that now it's Slay now he

1202
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 2: you know, Chase lit him up when he was in

1203
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh in Week seven, So it's not like, okay, it's

1204
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 2: a world stop.

1205
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's a lot of layers to the Darius Slay thing.

1206
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 9: I think he wanted to be a Philadelphia Eagle, and

1207
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 9: Drew Rosenhaus, his agent, is obviously a very powerful agent,

1208
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 9: and I think maybe trying to strong arm the Bills

1209
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 9: or whatever, and the Bills should probably tell him to

1210
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:52,919
Speaker 9: shove it. That's what I would do. But yeah, I mean,

1211
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 9: you talk about that, you talk about aj Epanessa. You're

1212
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 9: a linebacker who went down with a foot injury and

1213
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 9: practice the other day. Joey Bosa doesn't look like he's

1214
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 9: going to be able to play this week. Great edge

1215
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 9: rusher that they signed. You were missing both your starting

1216
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 9: tackles last week. Now I think they're gonna be able

1217
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 9: to play this week. Deon Dawkins and Spencer Brown, but yeah,

1218
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 9: I know, Trey Hender, it's yeah, no tray for the Bengals.

1219
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 9: Maybe not this week, maybe not ever again, but yeah,

1220
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 9: it's it's two teams that are in a very similar

1221
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 9: spot with polar opposite records.

1222
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 2: It's fascinating, no question. Yeah, And that's why you can

1223
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 2: it's hard to like, I know, the Bills are favored

1224
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 2: by five five and a half at home, and a

1225
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 2: lot of that's probably home, but you have no idea

1226
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 2: which team shows up and what they The Bengals if

1227
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 2: they can even put a damper on James Cook. If

1228
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 2: they can't, it's over. I agree with that.

1229
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, ultimately, it's gonna come down to the Bengals'

1230
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 9: ability to stop the run. And you worry about, well,

1231
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 9: if you're selling out to stop the run, and what

1232
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 9: are you going to allow Josh Allen to do on

1233
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 9: the backside. And that's what makes Buffalo such a dangerous

1234
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 9: team and difficult to defend. And I think, honestly, it's

1235
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 9: the same situation for the Bengals right now. As I mentioned,

1236
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 9: their run game is as good as any in the

1237
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 9: NFL right now. And oh, by the way, Joe Burrow

1238
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,920
Speaker 9: is back, Jamar Chase is still here. T Higgins is

1239
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 9: likely to come off of They're all back and they're

1240
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 9: all gonna be good to go. So, you know, I

1241
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 9: think the other thing, too, is and Joseph Osai said

1242
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 9: this after the game, that you just feel it and

1243
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 9: you can see it, and there is a difference in

1244
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 9: the locker room and a belief in the Bengals locker

1245
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 9: room when Joe Burrow is on the field, and that's

1246
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 9: sort of intangible, and that sort of leadership is something

1247
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 9: that you just can't measure. And for the guys that

1248
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 9: were here in January of twenty three when the Bengals

1249
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 9: went up there as six point underdogs like they are

1250
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 9: right now and handed it to the Buffalo Bills, there's

1251
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 9: got to be a lot of confidence from that group

1252
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 9: of players going into Buffalo there. We know how to

1253
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 9: play in the same situation. This place doesn't scare up.

1254
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 9: They're beat up, and.

1255
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 2: You know, and this time I have any wide receivers

1256
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 2: to throw too, And that's also part of the problem,

1257
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 2: explains A. And I think the takeaway game is gonna

1258
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 2: be big if Josh Allen continues to try and find

1259
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 2: guys that aren't open or break off on the wrong

1260
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 2: route could be good for for the Bengals.

1261
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 9: Second, one of the sneaky you know, turning points for

1262
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 9: the Bengals defense over the last couple of weeks has

1263
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 9: been number one. DJ Turner's having a great season outside

1264
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 9: at corner, and when Cam Taylor Britt went down, the

1265
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 9: Bengals moved Dax Hill to the outside, brought up Jalen

1266
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 9: Davis from the practice squad to play at the slot,

1267
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 9: and that has worked out really well when it comes

1268
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 9: to defending teams in the past game. I think that's

1269
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 9: an interesting one to work and we talk about how

1270
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 9: the Buffalo Bills often it seems like they're always looking

1271
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 9: for a wide receiver. Since Stefan Diggs left, the Bengals

1272
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 9: I think have a slight advantage against that group as well.

1273
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 2: Okay, later today new in ESPN fifteen thirty, Tony Pike,

1274
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:39,919
Speaker 2: Austin Helmer, what do you got.

1275
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 9: We'll talk to Charlie Goldsmith. He outlined the path what

1276
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 9: it would actually take for the Reds to get Kyle Schwarber.

1277
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 2: We'll talk to him.

1278
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 9: We'll talk to Rick Brooring, who is the color commentator

1279
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 9: for NKU basketball but also Musketeer Report dot Com. We'll

1280
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 9: get the xavier side of things ahead of the Crossdown

1281
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 9: shootout tonight. We've also got Kyle Decker from the Red

1282
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 9: Brick Legacy looking ahead of the championship game with the

1283
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 9: Miami RedHawks. We'll do our picks and so much more.

1284
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 9: All Right, that's.

1285
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 2: Later today now on in THEESPN fifty. If I appreciate you,

1286
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 2: thank you, Sham. We'll get a news update in Scott's

1287
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 2: Loan Show Friday morning, seven hundred WLW.

1288
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: Do want to be an American?

1289
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 2: It's a Scott's Loan Show on seven hundred w LW.

1290
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 2: You always love once a month or so catching up

1291
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 2: with our friends at the Claremont County Veteran Services Commission.

1292
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 2: Steve Belso is the executive director there, joining the show

1293
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 2: this morning. And now you guys have had quite a year.

1294
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:31,920
Speaker 2: As we kind of wrap up the surer to believe

1295
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 2: the year's gone already.

1296
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 3: Man, it's got I'll tell you what. It goes so fast.

1297
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:40,479
Speaker 3: But when you get lost and just helping people out time,

1298
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 3: just screening by. So it's it's been a fantastic year

1299
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 3: for helping Come County veterans.

1300
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 2: When you look at the numbers for the year. How

1301
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 2: many have you served?

1302
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 3: Approximately, that's a little bit over twenty five hundred, still

1303
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 3: getting exact, but that also is twenty five hundred veterans

1304
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 3: and finally claims for benefits or healthcare as well as

1305
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 3: like emergency financial assistance helping to shore up veterans lives.

1306
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 3: So we've had a really good year helping veterans of

1307
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 3: Cremonk County.

1308
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome. That's that's quite a lot. Is it

1309
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 2: mainly the service, right? Is it mainly VA care or

1310
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 2: how would that break down?

1311
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 3: Say that again?

1312
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 2: I said, was it mainly v A care or how

1313
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 2: did that break how's the services you provide breakdown?

1314
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 3: Oh? Sure, So when you talk about the services of

1315
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 3: a county Veterans Service Office, it really like a three

1316
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 3: legged stool, and the three legs represent the filing to

1317
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 3: the VA for benefits and claims assistance, transportation to and

1318
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 3: from the VA for VA medical appointments, as well as

1319
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 3: emergency financial assistance. And those are the three core pillars

1320
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 3: of what we do in the Veteran Service Office.

1321
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 2: Gotcha? Gotcha? And I know you've added some help too

1322
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 2: as well. Well, that's good that you're growing so you

1323
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 2: can adjust your calendar and make more appointments and get

1324
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 2: more people service.

1325
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 3: Oh, it was absolutely needed. With usage of our transportation

1326
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 3: is we take vetterings from their home door to the

1327
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 3: VH front door and back home. And the increase in

1328
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 3: people desiring transportation through us has been exponential over the

1329
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 3: past year. So the fact that I've had to hire

1330
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 3: a number of new drivers as well as we purchased

1331
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 3: another vehicle just to help the fleet because we were

1332
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 3: doing a drop, run and grab someone else sort of

1333
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 3: the revolving door a van constantly moving. It's really been

1334
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 3: beneficial to add extra personnel to drive the hours the

1335
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 3: VA is setting appointments for but having another vehicle to

1336
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 3: assist in those appointments as well has been very beneficial. Yeah.

1337
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 2: I love the fact, you know, you keep improving, you

1338
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 2: keep getting better, you add more services in the like

1339
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 2: we're talking off air about Mattia Mobility, the company I

1340
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 2: speak for Dave, my buddy Dave, where you know, it's

1341
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 2: a wheelchair that you stand up in. Basically it picks

1342
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 2: you up and lifts you up. You can and you guys,

1343
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 2: the VA was the first to lean into this technology

1344
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 2: saying yeah, we want our veterans to have this this

1345
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 2: capacity to actually stand up out of their chair, because yeah,

1346
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 2: a lot of people here, well you get the bare bones,

1347
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,439
Speaker 2: basically get you know, surplus materials, you know, wheelchairs left

1348
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 2: from the nineteen seventies. Instead, it's not true at all.

1349
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 2: I mean, when it comes to tip of the spear,

1350
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 2: you guys are you're right, the VA's right there, and

1351
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 2: then you are able to navigate that field and get

1352
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 2: these devices for veterans. What VET think is that's just

1353
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 2: a great example of your motto, what you stand for

1354
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 2: and what the mission is.

1355
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely when you think of the for how many years

1356
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 3: that we thought of the exoskeleton and taking the warrior

1357
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 3: in the battle because the soldiers load that which he's

1358
01:06:56,280 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 3: carrying has become so heavy they can't drag every thing

1359
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,400
Speaker 3: with them. But if we give them an exoskeleton that

1360
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 3: they mount to themselves, you can add extra weight to

1361
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 3: it because the better themselves in the wartime is not

1362
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 3: carrying that weight. And now we transfer that to a

1363
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 3: non ambulatory uh situation where a bur in his wheelchair

1364
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 3: bound and now this exoskeleton is picking the individual up

1365
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 3: out of their wheelchair and given mobility, I'm glad you

1366
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 3: introduced that to me this morning. What a great concept.

1367
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is something else, and you know I demoed it.

1368
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 2: It's just such a game changer. But again, not to

1369
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 2: you know, turn into the commercial or anything like that. The

1370
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 2: fact of the matter is you guys want this. You

1371
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 2: want the best care possible for our veterans. And I

1372
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 2: think we often and on my show especially, you know,

1373
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 2: we take a jaded look at government, the inefficiencies, the incompetence,

1374
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 2: the problems, the finger point and lack of solving problems.

1375
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 2: You guys turned that paradigm completely around, flipped on.

1376
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 3: Sad we have we have And I spent twenty nine

1377
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 3: years on active duty and this was my role as

1378
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 3: a senior Marine. Is just ensuring the troops are fed.

1379
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 3: They're bad, they're they're taking care of the medical appointments

1380
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 3: are happening. Is what is missing? And how do you

1381
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 3: take care of your men and women and your unit.

1382
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 3: And it's the same way for me now in Claremont County,

1383
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 3: twelve and a half thousand veterans in the county. I

1384
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:23,720
Speaker 3: call them my troops. It's how am I taking care

1385
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 3: of them? Are they getting the services that they need

1386
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 3: and what is the time frame which we're able to

1387
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 3: help them do. That is all in the forefront of

1388
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 3: my mind.

1389
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:36,600
Speaker 2: He is Steve Balso with Claremont County Veteran Service Organization

1390
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 2: the VSO, and just kind of kicking the tires around

1391
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 2: what went on this year. If you're a veteran and

1392
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 2: you live in Claremont County haven't reached out yet, and

1393
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 2: there's anything you need, and you may think it's minor

1394
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,680
Speaker 2: or trivial, they probably can get an answer for you

1395
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:51,680
Speaker 2: at the very least, or get you the help you

1396
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 2: need at the very bus and do it in such

1397
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 2: an time efficient manner. You don't have time to navigate

1398
01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:59,719
Speaker 2: all this stuff, whether it's you know, medical appointments to

1399
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 2: get from the VA for just to check up, or

1400
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 2: just simple procedures take you to another doctor that you've

1401
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 2: been referred to. They can do all this and so

1402
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 2: much more, and they're hiring more and more drivers to

1403
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 2: transport veterans from their home to via medical appointments. And

1404
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 2: how about you doing a month.

1405
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:18,680
Speaker 3: Now right now? For the past four months, we've done

1406
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:23,600
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty plus veteran transportations and that was

1407
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 3: with four vehicles. Now we have the fifth one added,

1408
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:31,600
Speaker 3: so you know, twenty percent improvement over vehicle overuse. And

1409
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 3: then obviously there's there's maintenance, so you have to take

1410
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 3: a vehicle down, and oil changes, high rotations, everything else

1411
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 3: that comes into play. So bringing in a staff of

1412
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 3: drivers plus and additional vehicle. I will tell you the

1413
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 3: five commissioners of the Veteran Service Office for Claremont County

1414
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 3: support me one hundred percent in moving this office forward

1415
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 3: to include so only adding another Veteran Service officer that

1416
01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 3: we then can reduce the wait time to get in

1417
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 3: to see servious officer to apply for your benefits that

1418
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 3: still aren't realized from your service.

1419
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 2: When you and I think for those of us who

1420
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 2: you know, let's face it, our tax money goes to

1421
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 2: fundness and it's such a you know, there's a lot

1422
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 2: of things we complain about paying taxes for. This is

1423
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 2: one I lean into and go good, this, this is

1424
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 2: a good use of my tax money is to support

1425
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:21,960
Speaker 2: the vsos and all eighty eight counties in Ohio and

1426
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 2: the counties where you live. And that is the mandate

1427
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 2: from the state of Ohio. That's how you are funded

1428
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 2: to get veterans help. They need because it's almost like

1429
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 2: having a tax attorney. I've said in the past it's like,

1430
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 2: if you have enough, you know, you need a tax

1431
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:35,720
Speaker 2: attorney or someone to figure out what your tax bill

1432
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 2: is or what you're going to get this year because

1433
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 2: you have no idea how to navigate that. That is

1434
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 2: true with the VA because it's a labyrinth of as

1435
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 2: you can imagine, bureaucracy, and the average person is especially

1436
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:48,639
Speaker 2: if you're sick, you're under stress. You don't have time

1437
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 2: or the energy of the knowledge to navigate that. You

1438
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 2: need a specialist like you and the others there to

1439
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,679
Speaker 2: do this for you. That said, to give the lay person,

1440
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 2: average person or maybe in a veteran, how many hours

1441
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:03,000
Speaker 2: would be spent behind the scenes just getting someone I

1442
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 2: don't know the healthcare or something, a specialist or something

1443
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 2: along those lines, and get into treatment they need. How

1444
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:10,839
Speaker 2: many hours are devoted to just like one patient?

1445
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:18,440
Speaker 3: Great question. That's that's something too, because people like fingerprints,

1446
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:21,639
Speaker 3: everyone's different, and to build out what is the media

1447
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 3: in time it wouldn't reflect anybody, but yet it's everybody.

1448
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 3: We actually did an hour and a half for every

1449
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 3: veterans appointment when they come through the doors. But the

1450
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 3: veterans also told know what you want to file for,

1451
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 3: make sure we have your D two fourteen on file.

1452
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 3: If you we don't bring a company with you, as

1453
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 3: well as supporting documentation to help us file your claim

1454
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:49,560
Speaker 3: for you, because if there is no supporting documentation, the

1455
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 3: VA is going to kick it back.

1456
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you need all that stuff, and it just you

1457
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 2: spend hours and hours just down one case. This is

1458
01:11:56,760 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 2: why you need more people working at the VAS, to

1459
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 2: the Veteran Service Organization, I guess, in order to navigate that.

1460
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 2: So the time spent would be considerable just for one person,

1461
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 2: but that they're working for you. So if you need

1462
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:11,679
Speaker 2: that kind of help assistance, and it's not just VA care,

1463
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 2: there's other things that you do, right that will help

1464
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 2: a veteran correct.

1465
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 3: Right, right, So besides just getting you enrolled in via

1466
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 3: healthcare and or secondary to that is getting you to

1467
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:27,439
Speaker 3: and from your VA medical appointments. And there was a

1468
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:30,640
Speaker 3: veteran sent up to Cleveland to the Cleveland clinic a

1469
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,600
Speaker 3: couple of months ago. We drove the veteran to the

1470
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 3: Cleveland clinic and the Ohio Revice Code stipulates that we

1471
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 3: are to transport veterans within the geographic vicinity of our

1472
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 3: VA hospital. And so I called the VIA Hospital Cincinnati

1473
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 3: and I said, well, what is our geographic vicinity? They

1474
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 3: use something that's called vistant. I can't tell you what

1475
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:58,640
Speaker 3: the acronym stands for, but basically.

1476
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 2: Any in the military that is.

1477
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:05,400
Speaker 3: No, no, we need one more. That is Michigan, Indiana

1478
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:09,680
Speaker 3: and Ohio. That's their area. Even though there's multiple hospitals

1479
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 3: by the VA throughout the area. So there potentially is

1480
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 3: a large task on moving veterans to and from their

1481
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 3: VA medical appointments. The only thing Clermont, as a VSL

1482
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:27,680
Speaker 3: office cannot do is we don't have non ambulatory vans

1483
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 3: such that there's no hift on our vans. I cannot

1484
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:34,639
Speaker 3: take somebody in a wheelchair. However, we have partnered with

1485
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:38,640
Speaker 3: the Claremont County Senior Citizens who has those type of

1486
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 3: vehicles that will pick up somebody in the wheelchair and

1487
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 3: take them to their VA appointment. So we've got everything

1488
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:48,960
Speaker 3: covered for getting veterans to and from their medical appointments.

1489
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 3: But then, in concert with what you were asking about, Sonya,

1490
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 3: what else is there? There's also emergency financial assistance. The

1491
01:13:55,840 --> 01:14:00,080
Speaker 3: Ohio Revised Code has established that we're to help veterans

1492
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 3: within them a certain span of financial I guess disability,

1493
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 3: to bring them up out of the hole. If it's

1494
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 3: not just a handout, it's not a dollar to Jimmy

1495
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 3: on the corner. It's literally picking a veteran up and

1496
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 3: getting them re established so they can continue on with life.

1497
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:27,800
Speaker 3: For many myriad reasons, these veterans will fall down, and

1498
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 3: the most common is helped. That's what we think, right,

1499
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:34,719
Speaker 3: but there are things coming back from being within the fence,

1500
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 3: being on a base and then leading that full support

1501
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:43,240
Speaker 3: and it's how do I navigate lifelow? So some really

1502
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:46,639
Speaker 3: some assistance and then getting them moving forward. So it's

1503
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 3: really a great program. That's an anomaly throughout the United

1504
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 3: States that we have eighty eight counties in Ohio supported

1505
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:57,639
Speaker 3: by the Ohio Revice Code that we are funded by

1506
01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:00,599
Speaker 3: the county to then take care of the veterans within

1507
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 3: our county.

1508
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:04,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think it's it's such an amazing mission.

1509
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:06,400
Speaker 2: I'm glad you're there, and I'm happy to remind folks

1510
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 2: about that, primarily veterans who are listening. And you know,

1511
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 2: maybe you're fine right now, but as you get up

1512
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,599
Speaker 2: in years again, healthcare. You fought and served our country.

1513
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:17,639
Speaker 2: You're entitled to that. Don't think you're not, and everything

1514
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 2: that goes along with that. We and we could do

1515
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:21,680
Speaker 2: more of course, as always, he's steep Also at the

1516
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 2: Climont County vs a Veteran services organization. If you're not

1517
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 2: in Claremont County, there's one in Butler, there's Warren. If

1518
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:29,879
Speaker 2: you're in a county in Ohio, there's a veteran service

1519
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:33,240
Speaker 2: organization there to help you and your needs. But he's

1520
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 2: the best. He's out of Claremont County. Steve, Happy holidays, brother,

1521
01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:38,680
Speaker 2: and I appreciate you, and we'll talk again in the

1522
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 2: new year.

1523
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 3: Tony. I look forward to it.

1524
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 2: All rights you as well. You have Merry Christmas as well.

1525
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:46,559
Speaker 2: Scott's loan show, Quick time out. We've got news on

1526
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:49,599
Speaker 2: the way in just minutes. And I mentioned I brought

1527
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 2: that up of the Mattia mobility chairs. I had a

1528
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 2: friend of mine reach out the other day about that

1529
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 2: thing and said, do you think I can get that

1530
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 2: with my insurance? Mike, Well, you could, yeah, I think

1531
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 2: that's entirely possible. It's not just veterans, because he has

1532
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 2: a loved one that needs that kind of assistance there

1533
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 2: in a wheelchair. Been in a wheelchair for like eight

1534
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 2: years and this thing comes along and God bless American

1535
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 2: research and development. It Basically how it works is instead

1536
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,680
Speaker 2: of just sitting in a wheelchair, it has a it

1537
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:22,880
Speaker 2: looks like one of those scooters you'd get like at

1538
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:26,280
Speaker 2: the grocery store, maybe a little bit smaller than that too.

1539
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 2: And what it does is it retracts. It allows you

1540
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 2: to take this almost like if you see a window washer.

1541
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 2: They sit kind of like on a window washing rig.

1542
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:40,559
Speaker 2: They sit on this poem form board basically film board.

1543
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:43,680
Speaker 2: It goes underneath you. You latch it on the to the

1544
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 2: to the Tiam mobility chair. You press a button and

1545
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 2: it scoops you up, BLUs you from your bottom, and

1546
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 2: puts you in a standing position. And so you're sitting

1547
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:55,720
Speaker 2: on that but your the front of your legs, your

1548
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 2: shins are pressed up against patting and uh it takes

1549
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 2: about five second thry to lift you up out of

1550
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:04,880
Speaker 2: that chair or the seated position, and then you just roll.

1551
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:08,759
Speaker 2: It's it's almost like like one of those anticap scooters

1552
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 2: that you see at a grocery store, except you're standing

1553
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:13,800
Speaker 2: upright and think about how much that changes. It's like

1554
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 2: you're used to doing things that is sitting down, so

1555
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:17,960
Speaker 2: everything has to be you know, on a house or example,

1556
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 2: or doing a remodel, and it has to be for

1557
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 2: someone who's disabled. You can now go and do things

1558
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:26,040
Speaker 2: at counter height. You know, the microwaves over the stove.

1559
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 2: You can get coke cook on a stove again. You know,

1560
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 2: if you like doing that kind of stuff, you can

1561
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 2: go work in your shop and your garage and your car,

1562
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 2: whatever it might be. You can do all these things now.

1563
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:37,360
Speaker 2: When it's time to sit back down, you press a

1564
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 2: button and it lowers you back down. You can go

1565
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 2: to the bathroom or it's a lot easier, it's a

1566
01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:43,800
Speaker 2: lot safer, and you can even there's videos that guys

1567
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 2: rolling these on the beach. You put just different tires

1568
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:48,320
Speaker 2: on takes just if it it really is. But that's

1569
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 2: the kind of stuff that the the vsos are leaning

1570
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 2: into because they want that best for their veterans. And

1571
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 2: we often hear about the inefficiencies and the problems bureaucracy

1572
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,760
Speaker 2: a government that you have everything that's left over and

1573
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:02,240
Speaker 2: ser plus and broken. That's not the case anymore, for sure.

1599
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:06,639
Speaker 11: top songs. And I was looking through it. This morning,

1600
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 11: and I'm slightly offended or I don't know, but it

1601
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:13,000
Speaker 11: now says here is your listening age, and it cheers

1602
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 11: me up. It says age is just a number. By

1603
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 11: the way, yeah, my listening age. Take a guess you're

1604
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 11: listening age. I don't know, like fifty eighty six, eighty six?

1605
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 2: What are you listening to?

1606
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 11: Real? So my top genre the orchestra.

1607
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:31,840
Speaker 2: What's going on?

1608
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:37,040
Speaker 11: I don't know, smooth jazz, house, indie pop, low fi indie, soul. Okay,

1609
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 11: all right, all right, so smooth jazz. So it says

1610
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:42,600
Speaker 11: that my listening age is eighty six. So when you

1611
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 11: call me a grandma, I guess it makes sense. There

1612
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 11: you go, because I listened to a lot of dinner jazz.

1613

Speaker 3: Yeah? Really?

1616
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:59,280
Speaker 2: I don't like smooth jazz. I kind of I'm not

1617
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:00,960
Speaker 2: like the smooth elevated music jazz.

1618
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 1: Would you like to play jazz playlist?

1619
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:05,799

1620
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:11,639
Speaker 2: hip hop okay, pop, yacht rock, yacht rock. Yeah. Age

1621
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:13,879

01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 3: God.

1627
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 2: If I'm younger than you.

1628
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:29,559
Speaker 11: It's because then everyone's posting it on social media and

1629
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:31,800
Speaker 11: they get the recaps and some people are like, yeah,

Speaker 1: I talk about jazz all the time.

1637
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 11: And here's the thing. I will play it so much

1638
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 11: while I'm working, and so it's always it's the low fi.

1639
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 11: Low fi is on my top genres.

1640
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 2: I get it. I like the hip hop and rock

1641
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:09,760
Speaker 2: is generally if I'm working out or something, need something, Yeah.

1642
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:12,519
Speaker 11: But then I'm weird. I'm also a Pandora goal. People

1643
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 11: like does that still exist? Yes?

1644
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 10: It does?

1645
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 2: It does it?

1646
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 1: Sure does. I think they do.

1647
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 2: Better playlists depends what I'm in the mood for. If

1648
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:21,120
Speaker 2: I'm like cooking or something, I'll throw Italian. I have

1649
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 2: thrown Sinatron like that.

1650
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 1: Top genre overlaps.

1651
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:30,040
Speaker 2: Yes, jazz is uh yeah, I don't just something about it.

1652
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:30,719
Speaker 2: I always like jazz.

1653
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Christmas.

1654
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:32,800
Speaker 2: And the other one is blues too.

1655
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:34,599
Speaker 1: A lot of blues wasn't on your genre.

1656
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:37,000
Speaker 2: It wasn't didn't show up, didn't show surprise. I feel

1657
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 2: it's not a different platform.

1658
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:40,559
Speaker 11: I think that's sometimes I feel like they'll sneak in

1659
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:44,160
Speaker 11: some blues into some of those jazz playlists. But anyway,

1660
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 11: 'tis the Christmas jazz season, and there is so much happening. Yes,

1661
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:51,800
Speaker 11: when it comes to Christmas, I'm honestly there's we can't

01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 2: pieces put together.

1685
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:49,599
Speaker 11: The only let me tell you, there's nothing worse than

1686
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:51,600
Speaker 11: having a freak fake tree and the tree is not

1687
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 11: pre lit, because that's my case and I'm so tired

1688
01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:55,320
Speaker 11: of putting lights on.

1689
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 2: My tree now. Years and years ago, when we bought

1690
01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 2: this thing and to spend at least ten years longer,

1691
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 2: we got one of one of those nice Balsam Hill

1692
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 2: ones and they are like affordable. Then we looked at

1693
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:06,000
Speaker 2: getting one for you know, because we got downstairs and

1694
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 2: they're like two thousand dollars for artificial trail. Like I'm

1695
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:09,840
Speaker 2: not paying that.

1696
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 1: They're so and even resale.

1697
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 11: Somebody I saw on Instagram the other day repost it

1698
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 11: at Goodwill, which is supposed to be secondhand a used

1699
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 11: tree for three hundred bucks.

1700
01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:21,639
Speaker 1: I'm like, you can go to Costco and you're just.

1701
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 2: Right right right? Yeah exactly. I don't know.

1702
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:26,080
Speaker 11: So now it gets you back on the do I

1703
01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:27,599
Speaker 11: get a real tree train?

1704
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 1: I think there's something so much.

1705
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:31,800
Speaker 2: A real tree going for now. Though they were they

1706
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 2: were like close to ten fifteen years ago when I

1707
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:38,160
Speaker 2: last got really yeah.

1708
01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:38,840
Speaker 1: I think they've dropped in price a little bit.

1709
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 7: I know they have.

1710
01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:40,960
Speaker 1: Okay, here we go.

1711
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 11: Let me give you the lowdown, because I think cutting

1712
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:46,519
Speaker 11: down a tree and making that a tradition could be

1713
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 11: the best holiday tradition. Now, Clark did this, I do.

1714
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:53,439
Speaker 11: I do this every year with two of my best friends.

1715
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:55,599
Speaker 11: I'm the third wheel all the time with the dogs.

1716
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 2: Professional.

1717
01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 11: There are probably thirteen to fifteen different places around town

1718
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:01,439
Speaker 11: that you can go and cut down a Christmas tree

1719
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 11: anywhere from Bartles Farm up in Hamilton, Ohio, to Big

1720
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 11: Tree Plantation Andmorrow, Yeah, Gubser Tree Farm and Alexandria. My

1721
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 11: personal favorite though, is Corsey Tree Farm in Hammersville, Ohio.

1722
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:21,639
Speaker 11: You have over one hundred acres of trees every type

1723
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 11: of tree you could possibly think of, the Norway spruce,

1724
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:28,479
Speaker 11: the Colorado blue spruce, your white tie. The list goes on,

1725
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:31,760
Speaker 11: and there's something about I just love it. They give

1726
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 11: you the saw, and they give you the tarp, and

1727
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 11: you go and your roam and you cut down the

1728
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 11: tree itself. And anything up to ten feet is ninety dollars.

1729
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 11: Oh okay, yeah, so they'll do live music. You can

1730
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 11: get coco. There's ornaments there. It kind of turns into

1731
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 11: this big, family friendly type excursion. And I'm also myself

1732
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 11: and my friends we are on the hunt for somebody

1733
01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 11: who chopped down our favorite tree this year. I think

1734
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:00,920
Speaker 11: my friend is going through a little bit of a

1735
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 11: traumatic experience where we found the tree that he absolutely loved.

1736
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 1: We're like, let's think about it.

1737
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:11,240
Speaker 11: Let's just let's just look look, gid you not sixty

1738
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:14,719
Speaker 11: seconds later, a group of five or six people walk

1739
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 11: up looking at the same tree, and this tree gets

1740
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 11: chopped so fast, and my friend blesses, like you could

1741
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:28,679
Speaker 11: just he's just standing there like it's like hearing somebody

1742
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:31,800
Speaker 11: do the dirty in the next round, standing right here.

1743
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm right here, you know.

1744
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 11: I thought he was and took it. So we crushed

1745
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 11: Christmas tree dreams. And now I'm on the all right,

1746
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 11: I did record them, so I think I'm gonna throw it.

1747
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:44,439
Speaker 12: Up on you passed on it. It was a funny moment,

1748
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 12: like a dog. The tree was too big, too full,

1749
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:49,840
Speaker 12: tree was way too big. That was at least fine.

1750
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 12: I was like going out and tin at the end

1751
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 12: of the whole thing. And I bring my own sow

1752
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 12: because I'm nerdy that way.

1753
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,519
Speaker 11: That's the other thing. If it's busy, better hope. But

1754
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:57,679
Speaker 11: then it's just like more likely.

1755
01:25:57,680 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 2: And then they got the shaker in the bundler because

1756
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:01,639
Speaker 2: they shake off the dead leaves thing often they wrap

1757
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 2: it up with the Is that what they do your

1758
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 2: tree farms where we used to go in Lebanon and

1759
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 2: they're awesome, a great family. And now they put it

1760
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 2: like they put on a thing and shake it and

1761
01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:14,280
Speaker 2: get all the dead needles off.

1762
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 1: Is that the round?

1763
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:19,160
Speaker 2: That's that's the wrapper. So before that they shake it

1764
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:20,599
Speaker 2: and they put it in the wrapper and it binds,

1765
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:22,200
Speaker 2: it gets close and they put it on your car.

1766
01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:24,559
Speaker 1: Oh see, now do they put it on your car?

1767
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think I did it.

1768
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:31,639
Speaker 11: Here's another here's some pro tips. Let's start from the top.

1769
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 11: Number one, Bring an extra pair of shoes. Just speaking

1770
01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:36,760
Speaker 11: from experience, it could be a little money you want to.

1771
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:38,600
Speaker 2: Swap ony, I just wear the boots to begin with.

1772
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing.

1773
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 11: If you don't want to track the mud in the car,

1774
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 11: bring just bring an extra pair of shoes.

1775
01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 1: Tickle, tickle, my fans come on.

1776
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:49,679
Speaker 11: And then also bring extra bungee things ties as well

1777
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:53,679
Speaker 11: as scissors, because like they'll give you the string, which

1778
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 11: is great, but sometimes you just need a little extra

1779
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:59,160
Speaker 11: leverage if you have a car wrack, that's ideal. I'm

1780
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:01,240
Speaker 11: saying this because because there have been a couple of

1781
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:04,000
Speaker 11: times where we've had to hold down the tree because

1782
01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:06,080
Speaker 11: we did not do a good job of wringing it to.

1783
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:09,799
Speaker 2: A professional tip. Okay, So they also sell a cargo

1784
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 2: net that you can put so it's bungee cord, but

1785
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 2: it's it's woven into a net and then it stretches

1786
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:18,960
Speaker 2: across anything that you may carry using my truck or

1787
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 2: something like that.

1788
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:22,000
Speaker 1: You have to have a rack on it or can

1789
01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:22,760
Speaker 1: it also.

1790
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:24,759
Speaker 2: I supposed to girl the windows down. You can do anything.

1791
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:26,599
Speaker 11: But yeah, because that's what we did. We rolled them

1792
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 11: down and then hooked it.

1793
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:30,719
Speaker 1: To or just get some hand which worked.

1794
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:34,920
Speaker 11: This year. I'm just saying a little PTSD, very cold

1795
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:35,519
Speaker 11: hands in yours.

1796
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 2: Now you're thinking, like me, time to switch religions here?

1797
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:42,160
Speaker 2: Or how hard is that?

1798
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm a Buddhist now I know'd.

1799
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 2: You having to go cut down a menora. It's just

1800
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:48,600
Speaker 2: you get it out of a drawer and put the

1801
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:49,080
Speaker 2: candles on.

1802
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 1: Let's go uncented as long as.

1803
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:57,640
Speaker 2: You get a right stretch it out. Very at my

1804
01:27:57,720 --> 01:27:59,679
Speaker 2: age now going this is a lot less work.

1805
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:02,320
Speaker 11: And then I'm more gravitating to Buddhism, where it's just

1806
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:04,960
Speaker 11: quiet peace meditation.

1807
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 1: You light one candle and don't go.

1808
01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 2: Druid because it's still about shrubs. Anyway, what else we

1809
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 2: gotta go out in the Cincinnati.

1810
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 11: While we're on these odd Christmas adventures, let's talk about

1811
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:16,679
Speaker 11: the fact that Scuba Santa has made its.

1812
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:19,839
Speaker 1: Way back to the aquarium. Oh my god, so scool.

1813
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 11: So Santa not only has its pilot's license, he also

1814
01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 11: has a scuba license, of course, and he's back. And

1815
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 11: I don't think we've really ever talked about this. So

1816
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 11: it is time, because back at the aquarium over at

1817
01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:36,160
Speaker 11: Newport on the Levee, and this is your chance to

1818
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 11: tell Scuba Santa what you want for Christmas while he

1819
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:41,759
Speaker 11: swims underwater in his Santa suit.

1820
01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:47,080
Speaker 2: I always love that Santa. So you know who needs

1821
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:49,240
Speaker 2: to take that? You know, you know Scuba Steve needs

1822
01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:53,120
Speaker 2: to borrow second clauses because that thing needs some wash.

1823
01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:53,679
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.

1824
01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:56,640
Speaker 2: Well he was wearing that yesterday and it was it

1825
01:28:56,720 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 2: honestly was it was. It smelled like Dan Ackroyd's Christmas.

1826
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:02,479
Speaker 1: Because didn't you have your big holidaytion dig this week?

1827

01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:08,479
Speaker 2: I was rough.

01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:10,400
Speaker 1: I saw some videos of him dancing on the.

1832
01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:13,680
Speaker 2: Just saying they're Sega Claus pulling the salmon out of

1833
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:14,120
