WEBVTT - 10-10-25 Scott Sloan Show 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.360 Do you want to be an American idiot? 0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:06.440 Tell me back on seven hundred W LWB two and three. 0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:10.160 Bengals are at the Packers Sunday four twenty five. You'll 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:11.959 here to hear Home of the Best Bengals coverage seven 0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:14.960 hundred WW with a new Joe and a new toe 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:18.480 with the helm Joe Flacco debuting with four or five 0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:20.400 days of prep. Bengals lose three in a row. Can 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:22.159 they snap the streak and give the ball to a 0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:25.759 guy who has now played and beaten? By the way, 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.400 if the Bengals can pull this miracle off, we'll have 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.680 beaten the Green Bay Packers twice in a four week span. 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.519 It's like almost like he's a quarterback of a NFC 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.440 North team or something. It's like the quarterback of the 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.160 Chicago Bears. Dan Horde, of course, voice of the Bengals, 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.320 jumps on the show this morning every Friday morning to 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:41.800 chop it up. 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:42.760 Danny, welcome, How are. 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.840 You, Sonny? I'm great. 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.000 How are you doing well? I'm doing well. So he 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.760 got Joe with a good toe. And when you heard 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.360 the news, because we all heard the news as the 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.520 voice of the Bengals, when you heard either the unconfirmed 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.520 rumor or the announcement that Joe Flacco was signed He's 0:00:58.560 --> 0:00:59.520 coming to Cincinnati. 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.800 That was your immediate gut reaction immediately when you heard that. 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:04.440 I was stunned. 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.399 I was stunned by the person, not the fact that 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.840 they made a trade, because we have heard those rumors 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:10.600 for a couple of weeks, and the names that had 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:14.920 been bandied about most frequently were Russell Wilson and Jamis Winston. 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.240 Neither one of those guys got me too excited. 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.880 I was a little bit interested when I heard Andy 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.040 Dalton might be a possibility that one obviously could have 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.600 made some sense. But I did not expect Joe plackom. 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.039 But they felt they had to do something, and I'm 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:31.479 excited to see how it looks. 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.039 Yeah, we shall see on Sunday. 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:35.720 Now, he's only had what four or five days of 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:39.759 work put in, but you know, he's experienced quarterback. He's 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.480 done this before, so you know, veteran quarterback coming in 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.039 that doesn't concern me all that much. And maybe a 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.080 basic game plan for him because he can't go a 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:51.920 full playbook with Joe, Maybe that's maybe less is more here, huh. 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.440 I think the fact that he's faced the Packers and 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:55.480 faced them recently. 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.480 Is really helpful. He knows what to expect from the 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:00.520 Green Bay defense. That takes some of. 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.560 That off the plate in terms of trying to get 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.400 up to speed quickly, so he can really concentrate on 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:06.600 the play calls. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.440 And that kind of stuff with the Bengals. 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.480 And yeah, I think you're right, they've got to cut 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.040 down in the playbook a little bit. But the dude's 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:19.000 been playing for eighteen years. He's stepped in under similar 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.080 circumstances before. A couple of years ago with Cleveland, he 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.240 did have more practices, but he had not been with 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.240 the team in that year. He hadn't even been playing. 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.040 So I think if anybody can do this in a 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.680 short span of time, it's somebody who has two hundred 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.320 regular season NFL starts under his belt and eighteen playoff 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.799 games and a Super Bowl win. 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:39.359 All right. 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.840 So the concern then, of course the most obviously, And 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:43.639 to me, there's a lot of nuances with the game, 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.920 and I'm curious to hear your take on all that. 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.160 To me, does this begin an end to a large 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.519 degree with what happens with the offensive line? I mean, 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.440 Bengals whole lot of what seventy five pressures, eleven sacks 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:58.000 and five games. Their highest graded pass blocker, Dylan Fairchild, 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.880 will be out. And we're not really good at at 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.640 scheming for the run either, as they are on pass protection. 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.920 So you've got Orlando Brown who's not playing the highest 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.440 graded run blocker and not I think I think I 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.680 saw someone Jamar Chase says a better blocking grade. Nonetheless, 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.520 is that for you? Is that the concern is, like, hey, 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.919 if the offensive line can at least be paying we 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:20.240 saw fly. I didn't think it was as bad as 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:21.120 advertising Detroit. 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:21.520 There was some. 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.639 It was just Browning couldn't find anyone open. It was 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.320 it was like a skulled dog or something. 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:26.840 I don't know what. 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.440 And Zach Taylor, I think admitted as such as like, 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.440 it's more mental. He's just out of sorts. We've got 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.360 to get somebody else in here. If they can do 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.640 an adequate job in blocking, give it Joe Flacco time 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.120 he can get the ball down field. And you've got 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.640 Jamar and you've got t in maybe different game. Does 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:42.520 it all come down to that? 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:48.080 Well, offensive line is a major factor regardless of who's 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:48.640 back there. 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:50.200 And I do think the stacks. 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.320 While we tend to assign them to the offensive line, 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.880 it's a quarterback stat as well. Tom Brady was less 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.760 mobile than Joe Flacco is and he didn't sacked very 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.640 often because he got rid of the ball. Joe Flacco 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.600 is going to get rid of the ball. So a 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.800 few weeks ago when Cleveland faced Green Bay, the Browns 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.240 have had major issues on their offensive line as well 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.840 this year, he only got sacked twice. Why because he 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.120 got rid of the ball. So that's getting it out quickly, 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.719 that's throwing it to your checkdown quickly. That's throwing it 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:25.080 out of bounds from time to time to avoid a sack. So, yes, 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.720 the offensive line had to continue to get better, and 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.920 I did think there was some improvement against Detroit last week. 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.719 But I also think that the sacks at least will 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.680 probably go down because Joe Flacco simply is not going 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.560 to take them. 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.200 At the same time, he was benched because of a 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:46.240 lack of mobility behind a poor offensive line arguably. 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.000 Really yeah, not true. 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:51.760 No, he was benched because the Cleveland Browns are rebuilding 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:55.080 and they drafted two quarterbacks this year and they wanted 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.440 to start playing one of the rookies. So I'm not 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.440 saying that Joe is playing all that effectively. They had 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.800 a great record in Cleveland. He probably would have had 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.600 a few more starts, but it wasn't because of his mobility. 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.239 It's because the Cleveland Browns are in total rebuild mode 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:10.960 and they've got Dylan Gabriel and they want to see 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:11.640 what they've got. 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.520 And you think it's Flacco would still be the quarterback 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.760 if the Bengals hadn't come calling. I mean, he got 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.040 the reason they put Dylan Gabriel edge. Yeah, I'm saying 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.680 is they put Dylan. They put Dylan Gabriel in for 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.600 real because it was it Dylan Gabriel's time, or just 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:24.680 Flacco is inefficient. 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:27.280 Well, a little bit of both. 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.120 But you began slowly by saying he was benched because 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:31.080 of his mobility. 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:32.719 That's not the case. 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.440 It was a combination of he wasn't playing very well 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.320 and they wanted to go with their rookie. 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.080 So it wasn't mobility. 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.159 Okay, it was fair fact that they're turning to their rookie, 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:43.960 Dylan Gabriel. 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.560 Flacco's all right, So we talked about the line issues 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.640 with them, The concern obviously is going to be Micah 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.040 Parsons and Rashan Gary. That is arguably that one of 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.880 the toughest to pass rushers, if not the best in 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.680 the NFL. They're going to come fast, They're going to 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.600 come fears. I'm sure they're champion at the bit to 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.200 come up the Bengals. How do you scheme against those two? 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.599 Well, you know you're going to have to give extra 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:14.840 protection on Micah Parsons side, which is why Gary was 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.160 the happiest person in the world when Cleveland swung that trade. 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:22.480 You know, teams used to devote extra attention to blocking him. 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.440 Now it has to be devoted toward, you know, protecting 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.839 a quarterback against Michael Parsons. That allows for Sean Gary 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.760 to eat. So it's a major challenge. The Bengals faced 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.200 Michael Parsons last year when he was with Dallas, didn't 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.200 have a sack, didn't have a tackle. Bengals won the 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.800 game largely matched up in that game against the Marius men, 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:45.360 So a lot of this is going to fall on 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.600 a marius Now. Looking at the Packers so far this year, 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.920 they've been moving Michael Parsons around quite a bit, so 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.400 I'm sure that there will be snaps where it's up 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.000 to Orlando Brown Junior to try to keep them away 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.880 from Joe Placo. It's a major concern, There's no doubt 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:01.919 about that. That's why a lot of people think the 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.080 Green Bay is one of, you know, the five or 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.000 six top candidates to win the Super Bowl. 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.520 Defense, of course, has struggled in a few areas. In 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:12.720 number of areas up against the Packers. How does that 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:13.720 match up play out your mind? 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.320 I think they've got to stop the run first and foremost. 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.320 You know, the Packers traded last year for Josh Jacobs 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.600 and he had an awesome first year in a Green 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.200 Bay uniform. That's where their offense begins. Jordan loves a 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.480 really good quarterback as well, but to me, it begins 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.840 with Jacobs. He's a beast, two hundred and twenty three 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:35.440 pound guy, doesn't go down easily. The Bengals run defense 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.440 was pretty good last week, you know, considering how good 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:42.600 the Lions are in the running game. They forced five punts. 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.840 No team has forced Detroit to punt more this year. 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.560 They got one takeaway. They need some help from their offense. 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:51.040 The offense has to stop giving the opponent short fields. 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.040 The offense has to stop having so many three and outs. 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.640 That keeps the defense out there forever. I think if 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:00.000 the offense were more efficient, we'd probably be saying, huh, 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.119 the defense is starting to look a little bit better. 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:04.880 Well, yeah, we always talk about it. It's the balance. 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:08.280 It's complimentary football. You can only overcome so much with 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.640 a good offense and a defense, and we saw that narrow. 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.360 Let's face it, Joe Burrow covered up a lot of 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.320 mistakes with this team. And there's a hell of a 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:18.200 gap between Joe Burrow and Browning and Flacco for that matter, 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.720 at least this version the forty year old Joe Flacco 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.080 at this point too. You keep him upright and allow 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.000 them to operate and give them time. I like our 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.680 chances with t Higgins and Jamar Chase out there. I 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:30.720 don't suspect this is going to be a shootout, But 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.880 at the same time, if you make it competitive, I 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:35.520 think that buys you a little bit more time for 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.400 Zach Tanner and a company to figure things out. 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.480 I think that's true, and I think I'm also looking 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:46.840 at the next four weeks. So if Flacco looks decent 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.360 this week, and even if the Bengals lose to Green Bay, 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:54.120 which is obviously a strong possibility a two touchdown underdog. 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.480 After that, you've got three straight home games Pittsburgh on 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.440 a Thursday night. Dealers have looked good so far, but 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.480 Thursday night home games are a big advantage. Then you've 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.920 got the Jets. Only when this team left, then you've 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.280 got the Bears. You know, the Bears have been better, 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.960 but I don't think anybody thinks they're great yet. 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.079 So if you lose this week. 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.640 And managed to win three straight home games against the 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:22.920 teams I just mentioned five and four, you've got Flaco. 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.160 You're feeling better about your offense. You know, you're right 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.680 back in the thick of things in an AFC in 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.560 general and an AFC North in particular. That team's really 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.240 unsettled right now. So I'm kind of looking at this 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.719 as a four week deal and see if Flacco can 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:39.480 stabilize things during this stretch. 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:43.120 Yeah, nine wins feels like that right around that number, 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:44.640 doesn't it like you could you. 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:50.840 Could be Yeah, I at this point, I'm really thinking 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.160 I'd be surprised if anybody in the division wins. Can now, 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.439 maybe the Steelers are going to prove us wrong. They 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.880 are three and one. Uh, they've got Aaron Rodgers. Maybe 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:02.079 the going to turn out to be better than we 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.679 all thought. I don't know, but I'm not sold yet. 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.679 And obviously Baltimore at one in four with a ton 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.760 of injuries including Lamar, who knows how many games they're 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.400 ultimately going to win. I don't think anybody is too 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.040 concerned about Cleveland, So yeah, I'm with you. I think 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.800 nine wins, who knows, maybe eight might do it. There 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.800 have been years where, you know, Division champions have been 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.160 a game under five hundred. That would not be the 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:28.320 first time that ever happened. 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.000 Now, Who's who the hell saw the Ravens collapse happen, 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.120 even outside of the injury to QB one. I mean, 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.480 that wasn't like they're playing great all that great football. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.280 That's That's probably the biggest surprise in the AFC is 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:42.880 just how bad Baltimore went. 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.520 Baltimore this year is Cincinnati early last year. I think 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.640 they've given up thirty eight or more points in every 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.760 game but one. So, you know, the Lamar injuries last 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.040 week was obviously a huge factor, but their defense has 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.520 just been atrocious and nobody saw that coming. 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:00.439 Extent. 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.400 Now the whole league seems up for grabs with the 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.800 Eagles getting beat by the Giants. I mean, the Giants 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:08.000 look like a freaking deep playoff team today. You know, 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.400 now tomorrow, next week maybe a different story. But the 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:12.560 entire league, that's the greatness of it though, as you know, 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.920 this is a parody, right is You know, one team 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.400 is ranked number one one week and then they're down 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:18.119 to five. 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.559 After a close loss. But that's how close is in 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:21.040 the NFL. 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.720 You've really got a chance here and you can't write 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.920 the Bengals off yet. We'll see what Joe Flacco can do, 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.840 and if you can get to nine wins, you're right there, 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.319 I think. And I don't think he's signed Joe Flacco 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.040 unless you think that Joe Burrow is going to come 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.800 back this season. I think, do you think that's It's like, well, 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.760 we hope to get him back. It feels like when 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.520 they made the move, like, yeah, we got a strong 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.040 indication he'll be back in December. 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.560 I don't know about that, but I do know that 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.439 Joe Burrow is determined to be back. I don't think 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:54.760 there's any real medical determination yet, but you're hopeful that 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.840 he'll be back, and he's determined to be back. Joe 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:02.559 Burrow is held on coming back and playing in December 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.280 if it matters. So I do agree that the front 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.920 office is trying to do everything they can to keep 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.680 this team in contention in case he can come back, 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.320 with the hope that he can can come back, knowing 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.960 that he is determined to come back. So Windows, you know, 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:22.280 you talked about the NFL in general, but really in 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:27.000 the AFC in particular, with the Chiefs under five hundred, 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:31.000 the Texans two time defending champ in their division under 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.760 five hundred, Baltimore at one in four, you know, the 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.719 Colts are four and one. Are we buying the Colts 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:39.520 as the best team in the AFC? 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:40.760 You know I'm not. 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:45.480 I mean kudos too, and you know Danny Dimes for 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.120 what they've done so far, But I still don't really 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.360 think of Indianapolis as a Super Bowl contender. So the 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.960 AFC is wide open. If he can just get into 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.839 the playoffs, right and Burrow does come back, you got 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:57.160 a shot. 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:57.720 Here's the thing. 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.360 Keep forty year old Joe Flacco all live for six weeks, 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:02.360 roughly six weeks. 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:03.440 That's that's the key. 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:07.760 And he has to play well. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:11.400 Of course, protecting him is going to be a key 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.720 to him playing well and hopefully getting a little bit 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.520 out of the running game as well. But if he 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:21.319 plays well like he did two years ago with Cleveland 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.280 when he came you know, off the couch and one 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.319 comeback Player of the Year award for a five week stretch, 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.480 he threw for three hundred or more yards and four 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.120 straight games, the only quarterback in Cleveland Browns he history 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.880 to ever do that after not being with the team 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.320 basically all year. He started playing at the you know, 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.200 the end of November. If he can do. 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.640 Anything remotely close to that, the Bengals have a shot. 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:42.920 Yeah. 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.280 And I say that because you know, the the aforementioned 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.240 leaders CFC North, the Pittsburgh Steelers that looked like the 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.240 darling of the division right now, that could change tomorrow. 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.360 You also have a fourty year old quarterback there too, 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.080 and we know that it's awfully tough playing this man's 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.880 game as a young man. As an old man entirely 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:03.440 different story, and certainly his career has been plagued by injuries. 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.440 As you get older, that does happen. You hope for 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.559 that against the division opponent. But you know, you look 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.960 at it and go, it's not like that they're doing 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:15.400 a great job of protecting him in Pittsburgh. 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.280 Yeah, it's pretty amusing that with forty year old Joe Flacco, 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.120 the Bengals don't have the oldest quarterback. 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.240 In the Aaron Rodgers. 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.000 Rodgers is actually older than he is. 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.040 How about this, It's like Joe comes back, something happens 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.920 to Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco in December goes to 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:33.840 the Steelers, and now he's played for every team of 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:34.360 the division. 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.040 Well, yeah, what's happening. 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:47.080 But nobody saw the possibility, at least of Joe Flacco 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.800 beating Green Bay twice in a three week span with 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.880 two different teams. That's never happened in NFL history. Apparently 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:58.640 Jack Kemp back in the day beat the same team 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.640 starting for two different teams during the course of the season. 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.680 But it didn't happen in such a short span. 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:04.600 That's incredible. 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.400 It would be incredible if Placo and the Bengals pull 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:07.680 it off. 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:09.360 Well, it's going to give us a reason to listen, 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:13.160 that's for sure. Before right, Darren Wright, I'm actually excited. 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:14.560 I was like, God, what am I going to do 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:15.920 on Sunday, and I was like, I got to get 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:17.920 the popcorn and watch this game to see what happens 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.680 with Joe Flacco. Real quick here, Dan, before you go 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.080 before the Bengals game. Of course tomorrow, you're gonna call, 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.040 hopefully the fifth straight win for the uc Bearcat's got 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.200 UCF and town End talk about quarterback controversies. 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:34.120 Yeah, not for controversy reasons, but for injury reasons. Yes, 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.000 they've had three starting quarterbacks this year that have been 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:41.040 injured at various points. The guy that started last week 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.000 had his arm in as sling in the second half 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.440 they list and is questionable. I would be surprised if 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:51.400 he plays. The person that finished the game for UCF 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:55.240 last week started their season opener, hurts back in that 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.480 game on a targeting penalty, but he did come back 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:02.000 and play last week. I think he's healthy. One of 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.560 the three guys that has started appears to be healthy, 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.880 so he'll be the guy that starts after that. 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:08.720 I have no idea what they would do if you 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:09.240 get hurt. 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.640 It was so fun watching last week's game, and you 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.880 is there anything cooler than the student section rushing the 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:17.480 field after win. There's nothing cooler. 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:18.040 In college sports. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.120 I'm a big fan of the field storming. 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:25.360 You know, it causes your school to be fined, typically 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:29.400 because leagues try to prevent that from happening for safety reasons, 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:33.560 but schools typically happily pay that fine, thinking, you know, 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.680 that means really good things for our team if our 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.160 fans want to do that, So we'll cough up the 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.040 dough and hope we have to do it again. 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.240 Now, Like Iowa State didn't fight in this one because 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:44.680 for a minute was like, man, they're gonna blow these 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.160 guys out, and they came back in thirty to thirty. 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.240 The final you see rises number twenty six in the country. 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:51.120 Should they been higher? 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:56.560 You know, honestly, I don't really care. 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.680 I think if they win this week, they'll pop into 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.040 the top twenty five. If they win their next two, 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:05.680 they would definitely pop into the top twenty five. And 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.920 next week's game is a road game against Oklahoma State, 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.879 a team that's already fired its coach, so you know, 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.320 there's a really good opportunity to win two more in 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.240 a row with tomorrow's game being at home, and if 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.160 that happens, they would definitely be a top twenty five team. 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.919 Now, they are fun to watch. They're absolutely fun to watch. 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.600 And you know, you talk about Brendan Sooresby and how 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:27.520 fun that is, but I mean, let's face that defense 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.080 is getting after what back their quarterback. I think what 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.399 three or four sacks in that game last Saturday, and 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.520 Soresby's jersey's completely clean, and you give them time, give that. 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.320 It really is an exciting product. And I'm glad people 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:42.160 are shown up at Nipper to watch the Bearcats. 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:42.960 Me too. 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.919 And I'm glad you mentioned the offensive line because we 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.720 have been very critical of the Bengals offensive line in 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.879 recent years, and deservedly though they have not performed as 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:55.800 well as they've needed to perform. But you see, on 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.760 the other hand, their offensive line has been amazing. They've 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.160 given up one sack, tied for first in the country, 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.280 and one of the teams that they're tied with his Navy, 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:08.400 a team that never passes, so that shouldn't count. They're 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.200 running backs, they're three or four yards downfield before they 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:14.879 get touched, yeah, on many of their runs. So this 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:18.360 offensive line has just been tremendous so far. 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.119 Issue a lot of arrows directed rightly so at Sadderfield 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.160 and that looks he's got them playing at a top 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:24.880 level right now, and it's fun to watch Dan Hord 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.879 with a call tomorrow from Nippert Stadium and the Bearcats. 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.480 And then Sunday it's at Green Bay. Gets on the plane, 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:32.600 goes to Green Bay, one of the coolest places to 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:34.959 watch a football game in the country, and we'll have 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:36.359 the call for a four to twenty five with he 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:37.800 and a lap here on the home of the best 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.440 Bengals coverage. Dan all the best, Buddy, Thanks again for jumping. 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.760 I appreciate it, my pleasure, Jelani, thanks for having me on. 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:44.320 Take care, sir. 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.080 Let's get a news update in and one return on 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:50.560 the show on seven hundred WLW.

We'll do that just ahead, 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:55.879 including a John Candy bio pick or maybe it's a series. 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:56.320 I'm not sure. 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:58.680 Anyway, if you're a fan of the late comedian John 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:02.960 Candy news, you need just Ahead seven hundred.

I 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:15.960 saw the tease for it on Amazon Prime, but I 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:17.359 was really short. I don't know what to make of 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:17.920 this whole thing. 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.119 Yeah, So this is a new documentary looking back on 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.640 the life of the late comedian John Candy, a guy 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:28.000 we probably all have some sort of relationship with, whether 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:29.919 you know, I'm from Home Alone at the very end 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:34.080 of that movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Stripes Slash. 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.520 He was in a ton of movies. 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:38.840 Stretching from the nineteen seventies all the way up to 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:42.240 the nineteen nineties. He unfortunately passed away from a heart 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:46.119 attack in nineteen ninety four. This new documentary all started 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.439 because of Ryan Reynolds, if you can believe it, a 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:51.800 fellow Canadian comedian who a few years ago put together 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:55.399 sort of a highlight reel of John Candy's career, looking 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.360 back on his life, and he posted that. 0:19:57.359 --> 0:19:59.040 Video online and it went super viral. 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:01.720 People really responded to it, seeming to indicate that there 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.919 was an appetite for this type of thing. Ryan Reynolds 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:08.400 approached Colin Hanks, the son of Tom Hanks, who directed 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.879 this documentary, and the family of John Candy, including his 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:15.800 two children and his late wife, all of whom participated 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:19.479 in this documentary looking back through their old old home movies, 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.639 looking back through interviews with John Candy that kind of 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:26.680 pieced together this story of a guy who really did 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:29.800 not expect to be a comedian. He actually was, you know, 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:32.360 looking to either go into the military as a young 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:35.440 man or maybe become a professional football player, but found 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.720 himself to be a very talented comedian, starting off with 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:42.800 the sort of falt comedy sketch comedy show SCTV sort 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:45.800 of known as like the anti SNL for a little while, 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:50.120 and then moving into movies like Stripes and like Splash, 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:53.880 as we said, Uncle Buck Home Alone, Like these are 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:58.160 you know, classic films that John Candy really did change 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:00.359 for the better. Right he was known as being this 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:03.280 very generous performer. I actually had a chance to talk 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.000 to They had a chance to talk to John Candy's 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:10.320 two children, who were just kids when they when their 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:12.840 dad passed away in nineteen ninety four, and they said 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:15.520 that the experience of putting this documentary together, of piecing 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.159 through all this old footage of him really did make 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:21.080 them feel like detectives in their own father's life. That's 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:23.800 the words that they use and it really does show 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:27.199 up on screen. It's a really moving documentary. I have 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:29.240 to say it's worth your time if you like John 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:32.120 Candy or if you're just interested in the history of comedy. 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:35.360 He seemed like a really, really good guy, both on 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:36.480 screen and off. 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:40.879 Yeah, generosity is a word that keeps coming up in 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:43.720 interviews in this documentary. You hear from a lot of 0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:47.120 big time comedians. First and foremost, hear from Bill Murray, 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:52.000 mel Brooks, Katherine O'Hara, Conan O'Brien, Martin short like, there's 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:54.520 a ton of people that they got together for this documentary, 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:56.600 and they all said that John Candy was such a 0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:59.320 great scene partner because he was always giving you something 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:02.320 to work with as an actor, as a performer, he 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:04.680 was never trying to win the scene. He understood that 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:07.360 it was a collaborative process. And I think that really 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:10.600 does speak to John Candy's whole oubra right. His whole 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:13.160 sort of mood was to be generous, to make sure 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:15.399 that not just the performers were taken care of, but 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:18.160 the cast and crew as well, in addition to making 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:21.440 time for his family and the stresses of that did 0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:25.200 take a toll on him. John Candy was a heavier guy, 0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:29.160 and Hollywood put pressure on this man, according to this documentary, 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:32.200 to a a little overweight so that they could poke 0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:34.920 fun at him. Some of these older interviews with John 0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:37.720 Candy as well are kind of uncomfortable to sit through 0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:40.480 because he can tell the interviewers trying to get a 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:42.879 joke out of, you know, his weight, when you know 0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:46.199 John Candy himself is not very comfortable with that, and 0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:49.480 that tension also does sort of run through this entire 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:53.159 documentary where you know he did feel stressed by that. 0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:56.520 He never let it, you know, derail his career necessarily, 0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:59.040 but that did, you know, take a toll on him, 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:00.639 you know, over the course ben years. 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:04.119 I'm gonna go top three, I'm gonna go Uncle Buck Stripes, 0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:08.119 and then kind of like Back of the Room Canadian Bacon, 0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:10.600 which is a movie about with John Candy, I think 0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:13.399 played the mayor and it's about the president of the 0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:16.240 United States needs a controversies who gin's up basically a 0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:22.240 war against Canada. 0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:22.080 And the Canadian part of this runs through this so 0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:22.600 big way. 0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:24.720 I have to say, Yeah. 0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:26.040 I gotta say I think we should shout out playing 0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:29.639 strains and Automobiles. Oh yeah, you know, Baseballs is another 0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:32.480 great one and something that people forget that John Candy 0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:35.320 was in was one of Steven Spielberg's first movies nineteen 0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:38.160 forty one at War drama of all things. But yeah, 0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:40.480 he really did have a pretty varied career. I also 0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:42.359 just love him in Home Alone. I think the last 0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:44.879 game in the last speak was freely with him in 0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:47.400 the Catherine O'Hara in Home Alone, and he's. 0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:48.720 The polka singer, like. 0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:53.600 Classic John Dannity stuff where it's really funny but it's 0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:55.480 also really heart selt and warm. 0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:57.640 Yeah, he never comes over and like steals the whole movie. 0:23:57.760 --> 0:23:58.200 Kind of guy. 0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:00.560 But at the same time, like if if he like 0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:03.200 I think the best camey of sort of cam something 0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:05.480 would be Vacation with Chevy Chase. I mean he came 0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:07.120 in as a security guard and. 0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:07.639 Just owned it. 0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:12.240 Yeah, And and that was actually the documentary gets into this. 0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:14.439 They were kind of just looking for a guy and 0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:17.560 John Candy with a round it's even so it's sort 0:24:17.600 --> 0:24:19.920 of happenstance that he fell into that role. But yeah, 0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:22.360 the end of Vacation is a great example of that, 0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:25.280 playing that like you know, a character that he says 0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:27.919 was inspired by one of the characters he played on SCTV. 0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:30.960 Uh, you know, in this in this new role. 0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:33.520 That was kind of update guy, but like that forced 0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:35.840 to deal with the you know, obviously the craziness of 0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:36.480 Chevy Chase. 0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:39.159 So it's it's good. He used to love. 0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:42.840 STV because where I grew up in Western New York, 0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:44.639 and so you know, you get the Canadian stations and 0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:47.280 that was like before us and l there was that 0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:49.320 that was on STV is like on Friday nights, I 0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:51.040 think or something like that, and so you'd watch that 0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:53.639 and the Mackenzie Brothers and but but so many people 0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:56.840 came out of Second City, Chicago and then to Toronto. 0:24:57.880 --> 0:24:59.720 You know, it's you know, dan Aykroyd's in there and 0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:01.719 John Candies in there, and you just go on and 0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:03.399 on with all these great names and people, you know, 0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:06.280 Geene Levy, et cetera, Catherine O'Hara, and then they all 0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:08.119 come back together and you go, oh, yeah, I remember 0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:10.639 them when and of course now they're older now. So anyway, 0:25:10.920 --> 0:25:13.280 is it one or three or five? And how well 0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:13.919 is it a series? 0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:14.160 Mike? 0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:16.320 No, it's a one and done. 0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:18.480 It's okay, about a two hours, so maybe like an 0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:21.880 hour forty five documentary on Amazon Prime Video. 0:25:21.960 --> 0:25:23.000 Yeah, I'd watch that all. 0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:25.280 Right, theaters, Let's pivot from the small screen to the 0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:27.720 big The new Tron movie is out right now, and 0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:30.280 I know that Nine Inch Nails. I'm not a huge 0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:32.600 Nine Inch Nails fan, but I do like some of 0:25:32.640 --> 0:25:34.639 their songs, so that kind of intrigued me. 0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:38.040 And I saw that Jeff Bridges back, right, Jeff Bridges 0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:38.400 is back. 0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:40.919 This is the third Tron movie and Jeff Bridges is 0:25:40.920 --> 0:25:42.920 in all of them. So this is a classic sort 0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:46.359 of sci fi franchise. All got started about forty three 0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:50.240 years ago in the early nineteen eighties with this story 0:25:50.280 --> 0:25:52.959 of Jeff Bridges with a computer programmer who got sucked 0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:55.880 into a computer game, and that computer game with brawn 0:25:55.960 --> 0:25:59.120 of course, with big neon lights and at this point 0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:02.760 now pretty data visuals, but even still it was a 0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:05.720 really you know, impactful movie in the history of sci 0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:08.320 fi cinema. They follow that up in twenty ten with 0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:12.120 Tron Legacy, that, of course, you know, also starred Jeff Bridges, 0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:15.520 and you know, had this really cool daft punk soundtrack 0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:17.920 that a lot of people still listen to. Now we're 0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:21.040 back with Tron aries. This stars Jared Leto and Greta 0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:23.840 Lee alongside the returning Jeff Bridges. As you said, it 0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:26.679 is scored by nine Inch Nails. So they didn't get 0:26:26.720 --> 0:26:29.600 daft punk back that punk broke up, unfortunately, but they 0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:32.600 did get a similar sort of like electronic kind of 0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:35.000 vibe back. And that is one of the big draws 0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:37.720 of these Tron movies. They have these killer soundtracks, these 0:26:37.800 --> 0:26:43.240 really distinctive visuals. However, they're never quite reviewed positively in 0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:45.480 terms of the stories, and I think that is holding 0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:47.119 true with this new one. I'm looking at the New 0:26:47.200 --> 0:26:49.960 York Times review right now, which is titled who needs 0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:52.560 logic when you have Neon? And then of course the 0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:56.080 rap also says skip the hack sequel, just download. 0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:56.200 This down track. 0:26:57.359 --> 0:27:00.879 I remember seeing parts of Tron because back then was 0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:03.959 when we first got a pay cable like HBO, and 0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:06.639 there were four movies and they'd run them all like 0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:08.880 all the time. You'd seen the same four movies over 0:27:08.920 --> 0:27:10.600 and over. One of them would be Tron, and I remember, 0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:15.800 even as a kid watching it, going it's pretty cheesy. 0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:17.439 Yeah, even in period. 0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:19.600 I remember I had a Tron video game back in 0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:21.399 the day, and that's how I learned about Tron. I 0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:23.600 was like everybody was saying, it's like, oh, Tron Legacy's 0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:25.480 coming up. They made a movie based on video game. 0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:30.720 No, no, no other way around, So it is it any good? 0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:31.960 I mean, what's the reviews? Like? 0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:35.840 Not not super positive? It seems like but I think 0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:38.320 said that's always been the case with Tron movie. You 0:27:38.359 --> 0:27:40.760 know a little bit of style over substance, but that's. 0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:41.520 Not always a bad thing. 0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:44.400 It's a weird neat right because it's it's not it's 0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:47.160 sci fi, but it's kind of like not good. It's 0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:50.040 not like Star Trek Star Wars where there's a huge 0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:52.760 passion like Core Tron, people aren't that big, and it's 0:27:52.800 --> 0:27:55.440 just it just kind of like falls between the cracks. 0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:56.760 I think the best way to describe. 0:27:56.440 --> 0:28:01.480 The franchise definitely, Yeah, it's got it's fans, but it's 0:28:01.480 --> 0:28:05.520 a passionate, small fan base. I would say it's definitely 0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:07.560 not a Star Wars or a Star Trek in that regard. 0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:09.600 But again, I mean, if you're a fan of big 0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:12.280 sci fi spectacle, this definitely does seem like it will 0:28:12.280 --> 0:28:15.040 do the trick instead of people being sucked into computers. 0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:18.240 This is computer programs that have become self aware, spilling 0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:20.320 out into our real world and wreaking. 0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:20.800 All sorts of paboc. 0:28:20.880 --> 0:28:23.879 It seems like the classic Tron light cycles as well, 0:28:23.920 --> 0:28:26.040 which I'm a fan of the motorcycles that put up 0:28:26.040 --> 0:28:29.520 the giant digital m They make a reappearance here. 0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:31.280 So that is kind of an exciting all right. One 0:28:31.280 --> 0:28:33.200 of our not to the old John films, one of. 0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:35.200 Our entertainment Greuz Mike Tbiski from New York on the 0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:38.640 show on seven hundred w welw and years ago when 0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:41.040 the Borat movie first came out and a huge fan 0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:43.080 of Sasha Baron Cone stuff that kind of stuff, and 0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:45.520 I went to the theater to watch it, and I 0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:48.400 was pleasantly amused because there are people showing up, older 0:28:48.440 --> 0:28:50.560 people who elderly people show up to watch it think 0:28:50.600 --> 0:28:53.640 it was actually a documentary about a country that doesn't exist. 0:28:53.960 --> 0:28:56.160 And they were leaving, literally in the first five ten 0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:58.280 minutes of movies completely pissed off because they thought it 0:28:58.280 --> 0:29:03.160 was a real documentary, which I found outstanding agid prop. 0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:06.680 And so now fast forward to if you go to 0:29:06.720 --> 0:29:09.440 see Kiss a Spider Woman expecting to be a Marvel 0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:11.560 franchise kind of it's not right. 0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:16.640 Oh no, not ryologue, stretch somenings. Go Wait a minute, 0:29:16.640 --> 0:29:20.320 I thought there was a Spider Woman. What the hell? Yeah, 0:29:20.400 --> 0:29:23.120 not a reference to Spider Man. No can Spider Woman. 0:29:23.760 --> 0:29:27.680 It is a musical starring Jennifer Lopez and is based 0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:30.280 on a book which was then turned into a musical 0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:33.600 in the nineteen eighties, both a stage and a film musical. 0:29:33.800 --> 0:29:36.440 Now they're remaking it with Jennifer Lopez sort of in 0:29:36.520 --> 0:29:40.080 the starring role. She plays three different characters in this movie, 0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:43.040 but it's really set in the early nineteen eighties in 0:29:43.200 --> 0:29:46.320 Argentina and sort of the waning days of an authoritarian 0:29:46.360 --> 0:29:50.400 government there. And what they get into in this story 0:29:50.520 --> 0:29:53.680 is the story of two political prisoners, effectively, one of 0:29:53.680 --> 0:29:56.760 whom is telling the story of this classic Hollywood movie 0:29:56.800 --> 0:29:59.080 to the other one basically as a way to entertain 0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:02.600 themselves while they're in prison. And as this person is 0:30:02.680 --> 0:30:06.320 telling this story, you the viewer, find yourself transported to 0:30:06.360 --> 0:30:08.720 the world of the musical film. So it goes from 0:30:08.760 --> 0:30:13.440 the gray, brown, drab prison to this very technicolor kind 0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:18.200 of expressive musical world with again Jennifer Lopez kind of 0:30:18.280 --> 0:30:21.880 in the starring Hollywood role. There also starts Diego Luno, 0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:24.440 who star Wars fans might recognize as Cassie and and 0:30:24.600 --> 0:30:26.520 Or from the and Or TV series, also from the 0:30:26.560 --> 0:30:29.920 Rogue One movie. He's in this and also a relative newcomer, 0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:33.040 Tona Tua just goes by one name in this film, 0:30:33.080 --> 0:30:34.880 and this person that really is a standout. I got 0:30:34.880 --> 0:30:36.360 a chance to see this movie a little bit early, 0:30:36.440 --> 0:30:39.959 and I walked away very impressed. You know, it sounds 0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:42.000 like it's kind of a hodgepodge of a lot of 0:30:42.000 --> 0:30:44.520 different things. It deals with a lot of different things, 0:30:44.520 --> 0:30:49.280 from sort of political storylines to sexuality storylines, storylines about 0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:51.840 love and death and all these other sorts of things. 0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:54.800 I gotta say it, lands, I think it really really 0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:57.280 works with the caveat that I understand that musicals are 0:30:57.320 --> 0:31:00.479 not for everyone. I am partial to musicals. That is, 0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:03.160 you know, the sort of disclaimer that I'll give. But 0:31:03.280 --> 0:31:05.640 even still, it is a good time at the movies. 0:31:05.680 --> 0:31:07.840 Tront is expected to be the big winner at the 0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:10.240 box office this weekend. This is going to be kind 0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:12.320 of a lesser player, it seem, at least in terms 0:31:12.320 --> 0:31:15.160 of box office draw but I walked away really impressed. 0:31:15.360 --> 0:31:16.920 If you're into musicals, if you like j. 0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:19.040 Love, maybe even if you like Cassie and or from 0:31:19.080 --> 0:31:20.400 Star Wars, maybe check this one. 0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:20.720 Out, all right. 0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:22.959 Yeah, and Kayelowe is gonna crush it no matter what 0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:25.320 she does. If she's singing on a microphone, you're good. 0:31:25.320 --> 0:31:27.800 Even without a microphone, she's pretty good. So this is 0:31:27.800 --> 0:31:29.960 like the little hall a lull And in a few 0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:32.200 weeks we'll probably fire up the holiday season and get 0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:34.120 ready for that. So Mike Debiskie in New York at 0:31:34.160 --> 0:31:38.240 ABC at the Michael Lebuski as his handle, Thanks again, buddy, 0:31:38.240 --> 0:31:39.760 appreciate you checking on this Friday morning. 0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:42.840 Have a great one, have a good take care all right. 0:31:42.880 --> 0:31:45.320 So, in between watching sports and maybe getting outside and 0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:48.880 seeing that big bright orbitan the Scot's gonna beautiful weekend weatherwise, 0:31:48.880 --> 0:31:51.560 for sure, get out and enjoy it because we're not 0:31:51.560 --> 0:31:53.240 gonna have many more of these days left, Sloany, seven 0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:56.800 hundred ww weather can't be any more perfect for real. 0:31:57.280 --> 0:31:59.800 You get outside and do some stuff this weekend, Sloaney, 0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:01.880 here's seven hundred w WELW getting you there, and this 0:32:02.000 --> 0:32:05.360 Friday morning with news happening in just about three minutes 0:32:05.440 --> 0:32:07.640 when we return, it's Representative Greg Landsman. 0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:09.720 We'll check out on the show. What the hell is 0:32:09.760 --> 0:32:10.120 he doing. 0:32:10.880 --> 0:32:13.080 I'm gonna ask him if he's willing to as a 0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:15.720 member of Congress and Congress's not doing anything with the shutdown, 0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:17.960 you should go around at least I don't know. It's 0:32:17.960 --> 0:32:20.560 two early shovel driveways. How about go cut some lawns. 0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:26.760 First ten callers at five point three seven, give us 0:32:26.800 --> 0:32:30.000 your addressing, Greg Landsman, you're representative, roll up of sleeves, 0:32:30.320 --> 0:32:31.600 you know'll cut your grass? 0:32:32.120 --> 0:32:33.240 God damn it? Doing something. 0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:35.400 Actually, I believe he's given his money back, so he's 0:32:35.440 --> 0:32:36.360 not taking a paycheck. 0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:38.280 But I said, you went in. 0:32:38.320 --> 0:32:41.560 The shutdown is take away their healthcare benefits and their paycheck, 0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:45.200 and I would think you'd probably not have a shutdown. 0:32:45.280 --> 0:32:47.320 But that's what we'll be talking about. To some degree. 0:32:47.480 --> 0:32:49.760 Of course, what's happening in Gaza right now? How close 0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:51.760 are we to peace? A lot of people say, very 0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:53.680 very close. Looks like it's a done deal. Maybe the 0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:57.240 president heads there this weekend off to Egypt and cut 0:32:57.240 --> 0:33:00.480 her and they're involved and signing this this deal. The 0:33:00.480 --> 0:33:02.360 deal has been struck. We're going to have a cease fire. 0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:04.200 Question is how long it lasts. We'll get into that, 0:33:04.240 --> 0:33:07.959 and of course the shutdown related stuff. And an observation 0:33:08.080 --> 0:33:12.320 here is, you know, okay, one side blames the other. 0:33:12.360 --> 0:33:14.600 We've seen this blame game go on. Is that Democrats 0:33:14.960 --> 0:33:17.160 are the ones who force the government shut down because 0:33:17.160 --> 0:33:19.720 it's the only way to get negotiations with the little 0:33:19.720 --> 0:33:22.080 power they hold. And the reason why they picked healthcare 0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:25.600 is because it's it's of the I think three issues 0:33:25.640 --> 0:33:28.040 ones women's rights in the environment, and the other being healthcare. 0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:29.560 It's the one that most people respond to. 0:33:30.160 --> 0:33:32.840 And of course, with the subsidies expiring or is set 0:33:32.880 --> 0:33:35.320 to expire here, now, hey, it's one of the few 0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:39.200 things that we're beating Trump on, which would be healthcare. 0:33:39.240 --> 0:33:42.200 So let's take that issue that people trust us on 0:33:43.440 --> 0:33:45.479 and use that to maybe build some momentum here. 0:33:45.480 --> 0:33:45.560 Now. 0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:47.680 I don't know what kind of momentum it is right now, 0:33:47.680 --> 0:33:49.280 because they don't have one as far as a party 0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:51.480 goes and where it's headed and what's happening. If you 0:33:51.480 --> 0:33:52.840 think there are things are a little screwed up with 0:33:52.880 --> 0:33:56.560 the Republicans, they're a lot more screwed up with the Democrats. 0:33:57.280 --> 0:33:59.760 And the end result is government is shut down because 0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:02.120 of that. But I think you also have to look 0:34:02.120 --> 0:34:04.800 at it and go, how did this whole thing happen 0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:10.480 to begin with? Well, Democrats rolled Obamacare subsidies, the extensions 0:34:10.480 --> 0:34:13.040 of Obamacare for ACA, right into the American Rescue Plan. 0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:14.920 I'll get into this with Greg. So we had the 0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:17.000 American Rescue Plan. What's the America. It's COVID. We had 0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:21.200 COVID stuff, okay, and you kept trying to drag COVID 0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:24.000 on much much longer than necessary. We got to keep 0:34:24.040 --> 0:34:26.680 we got COVID relief COVID that first year a couple 0:34:26.719 --> 0:34:29.239 of years. Absolutely, we're shut down. We didn't know what 0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:31.640 we were doing. Once you start to get to year five, 0:34:31.719 --> 0:34:34.240 you can't really go back, Well it's COVID, like no. 0:34:34.440 --> 0:34:36.400 And then they went, well, we can't use COVID anymore. 0:34:36.680 --> 0:34:40.360 We'll make it the Inflation Reduction Act. And the problem 0:34:40.440 --> 0:34:43.799 is all of the stuff in Inflation Reduction Act, Rescue Plan, Obamacare, 0:34:43.840 --> 0:34:47.080 all of it was passed by executive FIAT, by the 0:34:47.120 --> 0:34:49.960 pen of Joe Biden, by BARACKO. But there's not a 0:34:50.040 --> 0:34:52.080 vote on this stuff, right. So the end result is 0:34:53.000 --> 0:34:55.280 we have a government that now a Congress, it doesn't 0:34:55.280 --> 0:34:59.000 do anything because we've completely given that authority to the president. 0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:03.279 And again we saw what Biden did, and when Donald 0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:05.160 Trump got elect he said, okay, we'll hold my beer 0:35:05.160 --> 0:35:08.160 because here we go. You want to see some executive orders, 0:35:08.360 --> 0:35:11.920 watch this. We've had a flurry of them, and again 0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:14.560 that's you don't need Congress. If the executive branch you 0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:16.800 can to sign everything way. That's not how the constitution works. 0:35:16.840 --> 0:35:18.640 But we allowed them to get away with it. We'll 0:35:18.640 --> 0:35:20.880 talk more with Greg Lansman afternoons on the Home of 0:35:20.920 --> 0:35:23.880 the Best Bengals coverage seven hundred WW. Since then, do 0:35:23.880 --> 0:35:26.000 you want to be an American? 0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:27.280 Got flowing? 0:35:27.320 --> 0:35:30.840 Friday morning, seven hundred WLW. We're nearing the end of 0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:33.960 our second full week of shutdown theater. Republicans are screaming 0:35:33.960 --> 0:35:36.560 at Democrats that they're forcing a shut down to score 0:35:36.640 --> 0:35:39.719 political points. Democrats are screaming at Republicans saying they just 0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:42.280 don't want to sit down and negotiate, and of course, 0:35:42.360 --> 0:35:45.560 a shutdown because Republicans Democrats can't agree to pass a 0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:48.920 funding bill. Republicans still need them to support any resolution 0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:51.080 to spend and they're holding them hostage result, and we 0:35:51.120 --> 0:35:54.840 have this shutdown. So Greg Lansman is here, our representative, 0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:56.560 and what are we paying you for? 0:35:56.640 --> 0:35:58.720 Exactly Landsman? Right now, you're not doing anything. 0:35:58.800 --> 0:36:02.600 What I mean, I'm trying. I'm negotia. We're trying to 0:36:02.640 --> 0:36:05.360 negotiate with the folks. Uh, you know, I'm in the 0:36:05.440 --> 0:36:08.840 problem for elvers cackus. So there's a bunch of Democrats 0:36:08.840 --> 0:36:11.160 who Republicans are working through. At the sticking point is 0:36:11.160 --> 0:36:16.680 this healthcare question and and and these affordable care access 0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:19.320 These are set to expire at the end of the 0:36:19.440 --> 0:36:22.279 year and open enrollment starts in a few weeks. And 0:36:23.120 --> 0:36:25.520 you know, there are those of us who want a 0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:30.480 resolution to this now so that those extensions happen, and 0:36:31.120 --> 0:36:34.279 others who say, you know, reopen the government and then 0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:38.640 we'll talk about healthcare. But you know that that that's 0:36:38.680 --> 0:36:41.080 the crux of this is trying to get a deal 0:36:41.160 --> 0:36:45.080 done where we reopen the government and protect people's health care. 0:36:46.280 --> 0:36:46.520 Yeah. 0:36:46.800 --> 0:36:48.920 And I think for well a lot of us anyway 0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:51.799 who are not political kool aid drinkers and look at 0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:53.200 and just throw our hands up and go, I just 0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:55.680 you know one point that we're pointing. It's I almost stupid. 0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:59.000 You're both wearing the same T shirt and that's essentially 0:36:59.040 --> 0:36:59.600 what this is. 0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:01.560 And we know how we are. 0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:04.080 Okay, So Democrats, you guys, you forced a government shutdown 0:37:04.080 --> 0:37:06.560 because it's the only way to bring about the negotiations 0:37:06.560 --> 0:37:08.680 because you don't hold any juice, you don't have the power. 0:37:08.800 --> 0:37:12.360 So you know, I look at that and go, can't 0:37:12.400 --> 0:37:14.279 we extend it? Well, I mean, it's going to cost 0:37:14.360 --> 0:37:16.680 us like a trillion and a half dollars over the 0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:18.799 next seven weeks to just simply kick the can down 0:37:18.800 --> 0:37:21.080 the wrong and go, okay, we'll pass another continuing resolution. 0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:24.000 And that's the frustrating part all of this, at least theatrics. 0:37:24.040 --> 0:37:24.279 Greg. 0:37:24.320 --> 0:37:27.600 It's just it's continuing to add to our thirty seven 0:37:27.719 --> 0:37:30.959 trillion dollar national debt, and neither side's talking about that. 0:37:32.840 --> 0:37:36.040 I mean, I think that's that's that's right, And the 0:37:36.120 --> 0:37:39.440 deficit is a huge part of this too, right, So 0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:43.640 I do take exception with the sort of you know, 0:37:43.760 --> 0:37:46.400 the forcing of the shutdown. I mean, the challenge wise, 0:37:47.320 --> 0:37:50.720 you know, Republicans knew they needed Democratic votes to pass 0:37:50.800 --> 0:37:56.600 a budget, and they were told by Trump not to negotiate. Now, 0:37:56.680 --> 0:38:01.799 in previous years, there has been by Parson negotiation. Since 0:38:01.800 --> 0:38:05.919 I produced a bipartison budget or continuing resolution. They did 0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:09.040 not do that, and that that's what forced the shut down. 0:38:09.080 --> 0:38:11.200 That that would be my argument, that's the way it 0:38:11.280 --> 0:38:13.920 played out, in the way I taught it was. It 0:38:13.920 --> 0:38:17.200 would have been super easy to sit down and negotiate 0:38:17.320 --> 0:38:20.560 and had their enough and told don't negotiate, I think 0:38:20.560 --> 0:38:23.920 they would have. But the deficit is a huge, huge 0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:29.240 piece of this fight too, because remember this all started 0:38:29.440 --> 0:38:32.239 the mess, uh, you know several months ago with the 0:38:33.040 --> 0:38:37.080 this this massive spending and tax bill that added you know, 0:38:37.440 --> 0:38:40.359 trillions of dollars to the deficit, and then and then 0:38:40.440 --> 0:38:43.120 cut healthcare by over trillion dollars, all to pay for 0:38:43.160 --> 0:38:46.600 these tax cuts, tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit folks at 0:38:46.600 --> 0:38:49.759 the top. Now have they not done that, we would 0:38:49.800 --> 0:38:52.520 not be in this mess and we would not have 0:38:52.560 --> 0:38:56.879 added trillions of dollars to the deficit. But I'm I'm 0:38:56.880 --> 0:38:59.640 a firm believer that none of that matters. 0:38:59.840 --> 0:39:00.880 No one really cares. 0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:03.120 You do not have to get in a room and 0:39:03.560 --> 0:39:07.120 sort it out and in this case, reopened the government 0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:13.000 while also protecting healthcare. Just because this is relevant to 0:39:13.400 --> 0:39:17.680 my job as a member I represent, you know, eight 0:39:17.800 --> 0:39:22.960 hundred thousand constituents in our districts in southwest Ohio. Thirty 0:39:23.000 --> 0:39:26.920 two thousand people are going to see their healthcare beremiums 0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:30.840 skyrocket if we don't do something now, and fourteen thousand 0:39:31.520 --> 0:39:34.680 folks here will lose their healthcare all together. I can't 0:39:35.040 --> 0:39:36.640 I can't just punt on that. 0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:36.960 You know what I mean. 0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:38.560 I've got to get that result. 0:39:38.640 --> 0:39:40.799 I got to get and I get the short term 0:39:40.880 --> 0:39:42.480 necessity for this, Greg Lansman. 0:39:43.320 --> 0:39:46.239 So the fact that so the substantes expire and. 0:39:46.320 --> 0:39:49.279 The premiums for those in the Affordable Care Act, the 0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:52.000 marketplace right would more than double on app goes up 0:39:52.040 --> 0:39:54.400 for like I think I saw eight hundred and almost 0:39:54.480 --> 0:39:57.520 nine hundred dollars to nineteen hundred dollars a year for individuals. 0:39:57.560 --> 0:40:00.920 It's like one hundred plus percent increase A math forgive me, 0:40:00.960 --> 0:40:02.719 but that's a hell of a lot of money, right So, 0:40:02.840 --> 0:40:04.799 and that's going to hit tens of thousands of people 0:40:04.840 --> 0:40:07.479 in the district. And I look at that, go, Okay, 0:40:07.480 --> 0:40:09.640 that's real money. It's gonna affect real people, and that 0:40:09.719 --> 0:40:13.600 is a that's a huge problem. And I guess the 0:40:13.680 --> 0:40:15.960 thing is the fact that that, why isn't anyone just 0:40:16.000 --> 0:40:19.239 talking about how we're just extending more subsidies, like it's 0:40:19.280 --> 0:40:22.280 not really affordable. We're just taking money from a different 0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:25.399 pile and moving it to this pile to help people out. 0:40:25.680 --> 0:40:27.560 When you look at it, you go, wow, why does 0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:29.919 it cost so much for healthcare in this country? Why 0:40:29.920 --> 0:40:32.200 why aren't we addressing that issue rather than saying, hey, 0:40:32.480 --> 0:40:36.880 we can't socialized medicine like Republicans climate you know, you guys, 0:40:37.280 --> 0:40:39.359 they very least have a plan. It's the Affordable Care Act, 0:40:39.360 --> 0:40:42.040 and you know, patchwork Medicare and Medicaid and everything else, 0:40:42.080 --> 0:40:44.920 and it's we know that doesn't really work because subsidy 0:40:44.960 --> 0:40:47.719 is just transferring more money and covering up the problem. 0:40:47.760 --> 0:40:50.600 It shouldn't cost thirteen thousand dollars per person in the 0:40:50.680 --> 0:40:53.719 United States for just basic level healthcare. The other side, 0:40:53.840 --> 0:40:57.000 you know, Republicans don't really have an alternative solution to 0:40:57.040 --> 0:40:59.280 the healthcare crisis here. Why why don't we ever address 0:40:59.360 --> 0:41:00.759 that as opposed to just band it? 0:41:03.360 --> 0:41:07.520 Because it's hard, right, and politicians don't usually like to 0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:10.840 do the hard work. That's the stuff I love the most. 0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:15.520 I actually think that the health care complexity is what 0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:16.919 you know. I mean, that's one of the reasons why 0:41:16.920 --> 0:41:19.360 I joined the Energy and Commerce because that's where we 0:41:19.440 --> 0:41:22.479 take on the healthcare fight. And ultimately this gets back 0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:24.719 to who's paying for health care? And so for a 0:41:24.760 --> 0:41:28.560 long time, you know, employers did, and most employers would 0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:31.640 cover your health care costs. And that's not the case anymore. 0:41:31.680 --> 0:41:34.399 You have more and more people who are working who 0:41:34.440 --> 0:41:36.920 don't get health care through their employers have to go 0:41:37.000 --> 0:41:42.480 buy it separately, and it's just too expensive for most 0:41:42.560 --> 0:41:46.040 people based on what people are earning. And so you know, 0:41:46.080 --> 0:41:48.600 the question is do you want those folks to have 0:41:48.680 --> 0:41:52.040 no health insurance, which screws everybody right because health care 0:41:52.080 --> 0:41:56.040 costs go up across the board. Or an't it bad 0:41:56.400 --> 0:41:59.720 to just, you know, have people running around without health insurance. 0:42:00.000 --> 0:42:02.000 You work two or three jobs and it's part time. 0:42:02.040 --> 0:42:05.000 And you know, the again, the engine that drives American economy. 0:42:05.000 --> 0:42:07.279 Of course, small business and those who went with the 0:42:07.360 --> 0:42:09.880 vast majoriy of businesses employ less than two hundred people 0:42:10.000 --> 0:42:13.040 and fewer and fear of those businesses are offering healthcare 0:42:13.120 --> 0:42:15.919 mefods simply because it costs much. 0:42:17.000 --> 0:42:19.440 Yeah, and so then there are two places that A 0:42:19.480 --> 0:42:23.320 lot of folks go. I mean, you know, there's obviously Medicare, 0:42:23.640 --> 0:42:26.240 there's Medicaid. If you're you're working and you're not making 0:42:26.600 --> 0:42:30.879 enough money to buy health insurance in the private marketplace, 0:42:30.960 --> 0:42:34.399 and your employer does not give you health care, which 0:42:34.440 --> 0:42:37.640 is the case for these lower wage jobs. And then 0:42:37.880 --> 0:42:40.720 and then you have a lot of middle class folks 0:42:40.719 --> 0:42:44.560 who are working really hard. They cover they can pay 0:42:44.640 --> 0:42:48.719 maybe you know, five six hundred dollars a week, but 0:42:48.800 --> 0:42:51.440 they can't a month. But they can't pay. 0:42:51.680 --> 0:42:53.600 The thousand dollars are being asked. 0:42:53.320 --> 0:42:55.719 To pay, so the subsidy helps to cover that and 0:42:55.800 --> 0:42:59.400 keep people ensured. That helps small businesses because you know, 0:42:59.520 --> 0:43:04.440 somebody helping, so they're stick around and they're they're not losing, right. 0:43:04.440 --> 0:43:05.719 I understand that point. 0:43:05.960 --> 0:43:08.160 My point is, Greg, it doesn't Okay, you were just 0:43:08.200 --> 0:43:12.520 taking more tax pair money and subsidizing it. And I 0:43:12.560 --> 0:43:14.320 know we're in a nation of substies, but the point 0:43:14.360 --> 0:43:17.920 is it's so expensive because of the system that's in 0:43:17.920 --> 0:43:20.680 place right now. You said this is a hard problem. 0:43:20.840 --> 0:43:23.000 I don't think it's that hard To'll be honest with you. 0:43:23.040 --> 0:43:25.680 Hear me out for a second. Okay, so you've got 0:43:25.719 --> 0:43:28.480 these enhanced subsidies that were started in twenty twenty one 0:43:28.640 --> 0:43:31.080 from COVID nineteen and we got in through twenty twenty five, 0:43:31.160 --> 0:43:33.319 which I don't know. We're far moved from COVID right now. 0:43:33.360 --> 0:43:35.719 And it's been a cover for a long time to say, 0:43:35.719 --> 0:43:38.160 well it's COVID. Well no, it's a you know, this 0:43:38.200 --> 0:43:40.440 has to do with the Inflation Reduction Act. And by 0:43:40.480 --> 0:43:42.879 the way, all those things were pasted like Trump's doing 0:43:42.960 --> 0:43:45.879 right now with executive order. So Congress has literally been 0:43:46.160 --> 0:43:49.720 rendered at gelding here in this case, because you guys, 0:43:49.880 --> 0:43:52.040 you know, if we're going to have executive decree in 0:43:52.080 --> 0:43:54.200 an executive branch and the president just signed away an 0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:55.879 executive order everything, this is. 0:43:55.800 --> 0:43:56.760 What we wind up getting. 0:43:56.800 --> 0:43:59.160 And this is why the government shut down because Congress 0:43:59.200 --> 0:44:01.840 is kind of effectful. So I look at the failures 0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:04.000 in healthcare in the market and go, you know, I 0:44:05.160 --> 0:44:07.960 buy life insurance. You have a hear Well life insurance policy. 0:44:08.080 --> 0:44:10.000 I got car insurance. I buy that on the market. 0:44:10.200 --> 0:44:12.680 I have homeowners or I have renters insurance. We buy 0:44:12.719 --> 0:44:15.160 stuff on the open market all the time. Healthcare doesn't 0:44:15.200 --> 0:44:18.000 work like that. And I think if you just simply 0:44:18.680 --> 0:44:19.800 it really is it for Congress? 0:44:19.800 --> 0:44:20.319 Doho goes. Listen. 0:44:20.320 --> 0:44:22.720 If you're an employer, you can't offer health care benefits anymore. 0:44:22.719 --> 0:44:25.120 We're going to open it up to insurance companies from 0:44:25.120 --> 0:44:28.400 around the country. They're going to bid on it. It's innovative, 0:44:28.520 --> 0:44:30.520 the lowest cost wins. And then all the money that 0:44:30.560 --> 0:44:34.960 we spend on bureaucracy and compliance and share all that stuff, 0:44:35.200 --> 0:44:37.640 all that money can go and help people who fall 0:44:37.680 --> 0:44:40.680 between the cracks, who really need it. And look at 0:44:40.680 --> 0:44:43.080 the gig economy. So many people are stuck in jobs 0:44:43.080 --> 0:44:45.640 they hate or they're underpaid because they have health care benefits. 0:44:45.880 --> 0:44:49.120 If we freed people from employment and health care benefits 0:44:49.280 --> 0:44:52.279 and liberated them, the economy would explode. 0:44:52.680 --> 0:44:53.680 Why aren't we doing that. 0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:55.239 It's the easiest thing in the world for you guys 0:44:55.280 --> 0:44:58.080 to go. No, you're a business. You can't offer health insurance. 0:44:58.080 --> 0:45:00.399 You're not giving me car insurance. You're not taking care 0:45:00.400 --> 0:45:02.840 of my homeowners insurance. You're not by my pet insurance 0:45:02.920 --> 0:45:05.200 or my reunter's insurance. Why are we doing little of 0:45:05.280 --> 0:45:05.680 health care? 0:45:06.640 --> 0:45:08.399 Are you as sure as I'm sorry? Are you making 0:45:08.400 --> 0:45:09.719 an argument for a single pair? 0:45:10.560 --> 0:45:10.880 I'm out? 0:45:10.960 --> 0:45:13.480 Yeah, here's the thing, right, so here's the thing, and 0:45:13.480 --> 0:45:15.400 it's based on and there's still going to be subsidy 0:45:15.440 --> 0:45:18.080 of course, because there's people that again you said, you know, 0:45:18.120 --> 0:45:20.960 if you make the standard what eight hundred, I forget 0:45:20.960 --> 0:45:23.520 what the percentage is, but a percentage your income goes 0:45:23.520 --> 0:45:25.480 to healthcare costs, just like it does for everything else. 0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:27.439 And if you can't meet that, the government can come 0:45:27.440 --> 0:45:29.560 in and help you there, and we'll have more than 0:45:29.680 --> 0:45:32.640 enough money to not only put that towards the deficit 0:45:32.680 --> 0:45:35.000 greg but also help people who really need it. 0:45:35.080 --> 0:45:37.400 That's good for Republicans and Democrats. 0:45:36.880 --> 0:45:37.279 Isn't it. 0:45:39.560 --> 0:45:44.640 I mean, I do believe that the current passion does 0:45:44.680 --> 0:45:48.799 not work and and sort of taking away from that 0:45:49.000 --> 0:45:52.160 is just going to create this crisis, right, so that 0:45:52.840 --> 0:45:55.799 I agree with, which is you know, I believe there 0:45:55.840 --> 0:45:59.240 should be a single payer, or at least a public 0:45:59.280 --> 0:46:03.359 option where people can buy into Medicaid, which is an 0:46:03.400 --> 0:46:10.120 incredibly efficient uh uh you know healthcare uh systems, and 0:46:10.640 --> 0:46:13.600 it's got the lowest overhead. I'm not I'm not a 0:46:13.600 --> 0:46:18.840 big believer that everything should be uh, you know, for profit, 0:46:18.920 --> 0:46:21.760 Like I just don't think that these healthcare companies should 0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:23.360 be running a big profit. 0:46:23.440 --> 0:46:25.920 Well, you're in the wrong country then buddy. 0:46:26.600 --> 0:46:29.800 But yes and no, like there are certain places where 0:46:30.040 --> 0:46:33.520 we don't say okay, like I, we we say, look, 0:46:33.880 --> 0:46:37.799 we want the profits or any additional resources here to 0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:40.920 go into people's care, Like people should not be making 0:46:42.320 --> 0:46:45.920 you know, billions and billions of dollars, you know, running 0:46:45.960 --> 0:46:50.279 these healthcare companies or pharmaceutical companies when in fact you 0:46:50.360 --> 0:46:53.120 have all of these people who are struggling to pay 0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:55.920 for their health care. So I don't think that the 0:46:55.960 --> 0:47:00.560 current system works. But we're not going to be We're 0:47:00.560 --> 0:47:03.000 not going to change that. Yeah, the question is it 0:47:03.080 --> 0:47:07.680 is like you know, this this is being negotiated or 0:47:07.719 --> 0:47:13.520 worked on simultaneously with the President announcing a twenty billion. 0:47:13.239 --> 0:47:15.480 Dollar subsidy for Argentina. 0:47:15.880 --> 0:47:19.320 Now that went under the radar screen, you know, radar 0:47:19.400 --> 0:47:22.440 for most people. But like, why are we sending twenty 0:47:22.480 --> 0:47:24.120 billion dollars to Argentina? 0:47:24.680 --> 0:47:27.480 I mean seriously, yeah. 0:47:26.840 --> 0:47:30.280 When it could easily solve this problem and reopen the government. 0:47:30.600 --> 0:47:32.440 You know, I just don't get it, Like I I 0:47:32.880 --> 0:47:37.919 agree that, like, you can't subsidize everything, but so far 0:47:38.000 --> 0:47:42.480 this administration has picked a few things until you know, 0:47:43.120 --> 0:47:47.440 maybe some additional companies as like this TikTok deal and 0:47:47.760 --> 0:47:51.719 some other things. We're not entirely sure and Argentina, but 0:47:52.120 --> 0:47:54.320 you can't help people pay their health care. That doesn't 0:47:54.320 --> 0:47:55.280 make any sense. 0:47:55.080 --> 0:47:56.799 To me zero. Right. 0:47:57.280 --> 0:48:00.200 He's Greg Landsman, a representative here this morning was only 0:48:00.239 --> 0:48:03.520 on seven hundred WLW. How long do you perceive this, guy? 0:48:03.520 --> 0:48:05.280 I mean, you know you're kind of on the inside. 0:48:05.280 --> 0:48:07.719 You're hearing stuff too. Is how long does this drag on? 0:48:08.239 --> 0:48:10.640 At What point is enough enough? When is the point made? 0:48:13.200 --> 0:48:13.399 When? 0:48:13.600 --> 0:48:15.799 I mean, like, at least for me, like I've got 0:48:15.800 --> 0:48:17.959 to I've got to keep fighting for the healthcare piece, 0:48:18.040 --> 0:48:19.879 just because I've got so many constituents who are gonna 0:48:19.880 --> 0:48:21.960 weep for healthcare if we don't get this done. I 0:48:22.120 --> 0:48:27.320 suspect that one of two things will happen. Either Trump 0:48:27.360 --> 0:48:30.640 finally gets involved. I've never seen this happen where the 0:48:30.640 --> 0:48:33.920 presidents are sort of unplugged, like you do need the 0:48:33.960 --> 0:48:36.719 president to step in and say, okay, we're going to 0:48:36.760 --> 0:48:39.759 get a deal done, right, and he has not done 0:48:39.800 --> 0:48:41.959 that yet. They had an hour meeting in the White 0:48:41.960 --> 0:48:45.399 House a couple of weeks ago. He mostly just kind 0:48:45.400 --> 0:48:47.239 of listened. I don't I think he was getting caught 0:48:47.320 --> 0:48:50.520 up based on my you know, understanding of the meeting, 0:48:50.800 --> 0:48:53.080 like you need a president, Like if you were a 0:48:53.120 --> 0:48:55.759 president or I was president, we would we would lock 0:48:55.840 --> 0:48:57.399 a couple of people in a room and just say 0:48:57.440 --> 0:49:00.640 get a deal done. That's suicide. Yeah, and and they 0:49:00.680 --> 0:49:03.560 would get resolved. That's the other option is that it's 0:49:03.600 --> 0:49:06.279 sort of you know, from the bottom up, which is 0:49:06.280 --> 0:49:10.919 that there's a group of Senators Jean Shaheen and and 0:49:11.080 --> 0:49:15.719 Lisa mccowski and a few others, you know, Republican Democrats 0:49:15.760 --> 0:49:18.919 and a group of us on the House side who 0:49:19.000 --> 0:49:21.400 have been pushing this notion that you have to just 0:49:21.520 --> 0:49:25.760 open things up, get the stubs that you done, maybe 0:49:25.800 --> 0:49:30.480 with some reform, capping it, for example, at a certain 0:49:30.520 --> 0:49:34.920 income level. Uh and and and and then live to 0:49:34.920 --> 0:49:37.960 fight another day. And if that happens, I think that 0:49:38.080 --> 0:49:40.359 forces that forces in the seat. 0:49:40.520 --> 0:49:42.359 Well, well here's what and and and I think, okay, 0:49:42.360 --> 0:49:43.960 it may force And then in seven weeks do we 0:49:43.960 --> 0:49:44.800 do this all over again? 0:49:45.960 --> 0:49:48.799 No, I wouldn't. Like I'm I'm a big fan of 0:49:48.880 --> 0:49:51.400 saying like we're not doing this for like, we're not 0:49:51.400 --> 0:49:54.000 going to do this every couple of weeks. So if 0:49:54.000 --> 0:49:57.760 we pass a continuing resolution that also includes these healthcare 0:49:58.760 --> 0:50:02.960 provisions that should beat for the year. And if we 0:50:02.960 --> 0:50:06.600 can get a budget done, an actual budget, great, then 0:50:06.840 --> 0:50:08.600 put that on the floor and that can. 0:50:08.520 --> 0:50:10.879 Be incredibly I got an actual budget done at this point, 0:50:10.920 --> 0:50:12.400 He's Representative Greg Lansm. 0:50:12.560 --> 0:50:12.759 Greg. 0:50:12.800 --> 0:50:15.160 Before I let you go real quick, I want to 0:50:15.200 --> 0:50:18.319 pivot to another issue here, and that would be the 0:50:18.440 --> 0:50:21.120 peace in Israel. Hamasa President may fly this weekend to 0:50:21.920 --> 0:50:23.760 the Middle East of Egypt as a hammer. 0:50:23.800 --> 0:50:24.959 It looks like we've got a deal. 0:50:25.360 --> 0:50:28.600 How optimistic are you that this is going to be 0:50:28.640 --> 0:50:30.840 a lasting piece based on what you've seen. 0:50:30.640 --> 0:50:33.960 In her I'm cautiously optimistic. 0:50:34.040 --> 0:50:35.799 I mean, you know, I know the reason why I 0:50:35.840 --> 0:50:37.920 know these players. Well, I've been there, you know, like 0:50:38.040 --> 0:50:38.480 con in. 0:50:38.440 --> 0:50:42.920 The last thirty months, yere, you know, two years, three years, 0:50:43.440 --> 0:50:46.080 and work there for years. This is something I've cared 0:50:46.080 --> 0:50:48.960 about for decades, right and working on like I desperately 0:50:49.000 --> 0:50:53.520 want there to be a lasting piece. It does sound 0:50:53.680 --> 0:50:56.960 like there's a deal to get the hostages home and 0:50:57.200 --> 0:51:01.120 to end the war, which I have been a big 0:51:01.160 --> 0:51:05.800 proponent of. What happens next is it is still a 0:51:05.880 --> 0:51:08.880 question for me. Are you know what happens with Kamas, 0:51:09.280 --> 0:51:13.319 because I think you have to free Gaza of Hamas, 0:51:13.520 --> 0:51:16.920 both for Palestinians and for Israelis and for the region, 0:51:17.000 --> 0:51:20.279 like they can't. They can't stay there and continue to 0:51:20.320 --> 0:51:23.680 dig tunnels and and and kill innocent people and and 0:51:23.840 --> 0:51:28.600 start start wars. And so this comes back to this 0:51:28.800 --> 0:51:32.719 coalition of Arab countries, and if if the administration can 0:51:32.800 --> 0:51:37.840 lock in and dedicate more staff to that coalition and 0:51:38.000 --> 0:51:41.279 formalizing that coalition so that they are there as a 0:51:41.560 --> 0:51:50.879 permanent you know, uh, a permanent leadership, uh source right, you. 0:51:50.840 --> 0:51:53.719 Know that one of the stool, so to speak. There's 0:51:53.719 --> 0:51:54.439 gonna be a lot of people. 0:51:54.480 --> 0:51:58.360 Then I think you have to have a big coalition, 0:51:58.480 --> 0:52:01.120 particularly of Arab countries, which is how they got this 0:52:01.200 --> 0:52:03.839 deal done, right, They got to steal done because they 0:52:03.880 --> 0:52:06.640 pulled this group together, which is what I spent with 0:52:06.800 --> 0:52:09.919 cock this you know, not to shoot my own horn, 0:52:10.000 --> 0:52:12.080 but this is this was the plan I sent to 0:52:12.080 --> 0:52:14.799 with Cough months ago, which is like the path to 0:52:14.880 --> 0:52:18.080 this is through these airs, through the air of nations. 0:52:18.120 --> 0:52:21.240 Once they declared they were done with Hamas, the door 0:52:21.360 --> 0:52:24.120 was open. That was three or four or five months ago. 0:52:24.800 --> 0:52:28.680 And now you've got to pull them together, which they've 0:52:28.719 --> 0:52:31.440 done to get this deal done, but then you have 0:52:31.560 --> 0:52:34.360 to keep them together in order to get to that 0:52:34.480 --> 0:52:35.120 lasting piece. 0:52:35.640 --> 0:52:35.839 Yeah. 0:52:35.880 --> 0:52:38.040 My fear is, as long as you have a ran around, 0:52:38.440 --> 0:52:40.480 you're going to have some It may not be Hamas 0:52:40.520 --> 0:52:43.240 and maybe a hoss light or a different group in Tyree, 0:52:43.239 --> 0:52:44.560 but you're going to that's the problem. 0:52:44.640 --> 0:52:44.799 Right. 0:52:44.840 --> 0:52:47.759 So anyway, he is a representative, Greg Lance. Can you 0:52:47.800 --> 0:52:50.560 go cuff? Can some constituents lawns? I feel like, you 0:52:50.600 --> 0:52:53.160 know we're doing you're doing something for the people, Greg, 0:52:53.160 --> 0:52:54.840 because the sitting around is not a good look for 0:52:54.920 --> 0:52:55.319 you're an. 0:52:55.239 --> 0:52:56.160 Active guy coming. 0:52:56.840 --> 0:53:00.560 I am still yeah, but like I have really uh 0:53:01.160 --> 0:53:04.480 and like desperately trying to you know, get get something 0:53:04.520 --> 0:53:06.520 resolved here. I also suspended my pay. 0:53:06.880 --> 0:53:10.759 Yeah, and and and and I go back to DC 0:53:10.960 --> 0:53:14.200 next week, no matter whether, no matter if the speaker 0:53:14.560 --> 0:53:17.640 calls us back, I'm going back to just keep plugging 0:53:18.239 --> 0:53:19.600 along to try to get. 0:53:19.440 --> 0:53:20.279 This see what you can do? 0:53:20.320 --> 0:53:24.239 I means, yeah, all right, Well, hey man, I appreciate it. Friend, 0:53:24.239 --> 0:53:26.719 thanks again for checking in. He is our represent Greg 0:53:26.800 --> 0:53:28.759 Landsman on The Scotsland Show on seven. 0:53:28.800 --> 0:53:29.440 Have a great weekend. 0:53:29.440 --> 0:53:32.440 Okay, be well youbady appreciate it as always, although we 0:53:32.520 --> 0:53:35.560 disagreed somewhat there, but that's that's actually how it should be, 0:53:35.680 --> 0:53:40.879 right without screaming at each other. Yeah, I just uh, well, 0:53:40.920 --> 0:53:42.560 there's a lot of problems with this. I'm running late, 0:53:42.800 --> 0:53:44.600 and we could kick as the why and how we 0:53:44.640 --> 0:53:46.319 got here, and a lot of this has to do 0:53:46.400 --> 0:53:49.600 with executive orders because Biden did it and then Trump said, 0:53:49.600 --> 0:53:52.160 hold my, hold my diet coke. This is how you 0:53:52.200 --> 0:53:54.680 do executive orders, and this is how we now govern. 0:53:54.840 --> 0:53:57.200 The executive order in Congress does nothing, and here we 0:53:57.239 --> 0:53:59.279 go again. Slaney seven hundred WL. 0:54:05.040 --> 0:54:05.799 Weekend is here. 0:54:06.160 --> 0:54:09.480 That means lots of sports. Austin Elmore has a well 0:54:09.520 --> 0:54:11.439 deserved day off. Actually had the Green Bay. 0:54:11.520 --> 0:54:13.960 He's in there. He's in the Midland in Wisconsin, he is. 0:54:14.000 --> 0:54:16.239 And I'll tell you what, I'm glad he took today off, 0:54:16.280 --> 0:54:19.520 quite honestly, because you need a full three days to 0:54:19.600 --> 0:54:22.080 experience Green Bay if you've never been and have an opportunity, 0:54:22.160 --> 0:54:23.520 I highly encourage that. 0:54:23.800 --> 0:54:27.280 Yeah, he was. He was indulging himself in some cheese 0:54:27.320 --> 0:54:30.040 curds and some pints yesterday. I saw, right, media, So 0:54:30.120 --> 0:54:32.680 that's Uh, he's doing it right. They have cheese curds here. 0:54:32.880 --> 0:54:36.520 I'm just saying they're entirely different in Wisconsin because they're 0:54:36.560 --> 0:54:37.560 like straight from the cow. 0:54:37.560 --> 0:54:41.759 There's still it's they're phenomenal, like absolutely. 0:54:41.239 --> 0:54:43.680 Worth it, just like a cow in the back and 0:54:43.239 --> 0:54:46.880 they just cranking them out like a cow strabbled across 0:54:46.920 --> 0:54:49.520 this big, deep frior and just like someone milking in 0:54:49.520 --> 0:54:50.239 the it just. 0:54:50.200 --> 0:54:52.640 Goes straight in. So there's that. 0:54:52.760 --> 0:54:56.720 There's the Hall of Fame, the Packers facility is it's 0:54:56.520 --> 0:55:00.239 it's really cool. It's really really cool. I don't know 0:55:00.280 --> 0:55:02.319 how to describe it other than really cool. Like the 0:55:02.400 --> 0:55:06.640 village around there and it's basically Packer Lands, like a yeah, 0:55:06.640 --> 0:55:08.480 it's a Wrigley Veal feel to it, you know kind 0:55:08.520 --> 0:55:11.120 of thing, and it's real questioned and just the hall 0:55:11.160 --> 0:55:14.479 of Fame inside there's amazing. And then of course walking 0:55:14.480 --> 0:55:16.960 in the Lambeau a spectacular. So it's just if you 0:55:16.960 --> 0:55:19.479 have a chance to go, soak it all in, soak 0:55:19.560 --> 0:55:21.440 it all in. So Rick Uccino is here. He just 0:55:21.480 --> 0:55:23.680 did the news. He runs into here breathlessly. Brick also 0:55:23.760 --> 0:55:25.560 in addition to the many other hats he wears here, 0:55:25.560 --> 0:55:28.400 because we all wear many hats uh. He covered the 0:55:28.440 --> 0:55:31.880 Bengals for Cerrus XM satellite radio. And So, if you 0:55:31.920 --> 0:55:34.680 think things are bad in Cincinnati with Joe Flacco coming here, 0:55:34.680 --> 0:55:37.600 with the Reds getting this clay, we made the postseason 0:55:37.640 --> 0:55:40.359 and gone swept by the Dodgers, who look like they 0:55:40.400 --> 0:55:42.799 may be the World Series champs. You think it's bad here, 0:55:44.000 --> 0:55:47.080 it could be worse. She could be Philly. Philly gets 0:55:47.840 --> 0:55:51.080 just trucked last night by the New York Giants and 0:55:51.120 --> 0:55:54.319 a wet behind the years quarterback who's playing like the 0:55:54.360 --> 0:55:56.120 second incarnation of Pat Mahomes and. 0:55:56.120 --> 0:55:59.160 Josh Allen's playing like he doesn't. 0:55:59.200 --> 0:56:03.160 Thirty four to seventeen, Philly gets whooped, puts their legacy 0:56:03.239 --> 0:56:06.440 in question. And last night, the most improbable thing of 0:56:06.480 --> 0:56:09.880 all happened in that Dodgers game. Dodgers put it away, 0:56:10.760 --> 0:56:13.600 it's one to one, the head of the eleventh inning, 0:56:13.680 --> 0:56:17.640 there's two outs, the run around first and third. Kirkering 0:56:17.719 --> 0:56:21.799 comes in and he walks the bases loaded, and then 0:56:22.040 --> 0:56:25.200 the play that looks like it's a Little League where 0:56:25.239 --> 0:56:28.640 the balls hit back to the mound, not hard, kind 0:56:28.680 --> 0:56:31.600 of weird, maybe a weird role on its spin, and 0:56:31.800 --> 0:56:34.440 he flubs it instead of throwing the first where he 0:56:34.480 --> 0:56:36.440 clearly had the out. He throws it home and misses 0:56:36.480 --> 0:56:39.000 him by a country mile, and it was maybe a 0:56:39.000 --> 0:56:40.200 fifteen twenty foot throw. 0:56:40.680 --> 0:56:42.960 Yeah, you ever play billiards and you didn't chalk the 0:56:43.040 --> 0:56:45.640 que up enough, That's what it looked like. It looked 0:56:45.640 --> 0:56:48.400 like that little skip right off the bat and it 0:56:48.480 --> 0:56:50.600 hits him in the shoe and it rolls away and 0:56:50.640 --> 0:56:54.799 it man, it was just he just panicked because if 0:56:54.800 --> 0:56:57.320 he just turn first off, he tries to throw home 0:56:58.000 --> 0:57:01.360 with his catcher pointing to Ward's first base, He's like, 0:57:01.719 --> 0:57:05.359 throw the ball there, We're fine, and Steady loves it 0:57:06.160 --> 0:57:11.959 way wide. What what have been? And yeah, just ballgame over. 0:57:12.040 --> 0:57:13.880 If he just turns to his left and looks at 0:57:13.880 --> 0:57:16.560 first base, the runner, I forget who's out the plate 0:57:16.600 --> 0:57:19.800 at the time, he's only halfway to first. He has 0:57:19.840 --> 0:57:21.840 more than enough time to throw that ball. Yeah, he 0:57:21.880 --> 0:57:22.680 continue the game. 0:57:22.840 --> 0:57:25.040 It was Jesse. 0:57:25.320 --> 0:57:27.760 It's one of those moments, that one of those situations 0:57:27.760 --> 0:57:29.680 that you dream about, but you never know how you're 0:57:29.720 --> 0:57:31.840 going to react in that situation, and it was just 0:57:31.960 --> 0:57:34.080 sheer panic and chaos and not the way you want 0:57:34.120 --> 0:57:37.480 your season to end. But still I will argue, by 0:57:37.520 --> 0:57:40.520 the way, I will happily be a Philadelphia sports fan 0:57:40.560 --> 0:57:42.960 this morning if I could be considering, Yeah, the Eagles 0:57:42.960 --> 0:57:45.880 loss last night, there's still the defending Super Bowl champion. 0:57:46.120 --> 0:57:50.440 I'll take that hangover place. Philly does have a world championship. 0:57:50.280 --> 0:57:53.880 In life, my cognitive lifetime. Yes, last time the reds one, 0:57:53.920 --> 0:57:54.320 I was two. 0:57:54.560 --> 0:57:55.640 I get it. I get it. 0:57:55.880 --> 0:57:58.160 I'm so just saying if Philly today is and can 0:57:58.200 --> 0:58:00.640 you imagine being Kirkering and going back to Philly, Like 0:58:00.680 --> 0:58:03.040 I just go, hey, you know what, I'm just gonna 0:58:03.080 --> 0:58:03.480 stay here. 0:58:03.960 --> 0:58:06.000 That man got shoved in a locker last night that 0:58:07.160 --> 0:58:09.240 I could just see Kylee Schwarber chasing him around with 0:58:09.280 --> 0:58:11.280 the Batsay Good in. 0:58:10.200 --> 0:58:13.160 The plane back like TSA is waiting for him. It's like, 0:58:13.200 --> 0:58:16.240 I'm not I'm leaving. No, we're gonna go through your stuff. Yeah, 0:58:16.320 --> 0:58:20.120 we're going through your stuff. Let's start with this. Uh, 0:58:20.160 --> 0:58:23.240 we have the Bengals and we have the Packers. Sunday 0:58:23.240 --> 0:58:25.520 four twenty five, Dan and Lamp with the call at 0:58:25.560 --> 0:58:27.760 Dan on the first hour of the show, Joe Flacco 0:58:27.880 --> 0:58:31.240 comes into town, four year old quarterback Like when this 0:58:31.360 --> 0:58:34.720 broke you're reading I asked this to everyone. What was 0:58:34.720 --> 0:58:36.440 your first reaction was like your gut reaction? 0:58:36.600 --> 0:58:40.560 Thank god? Was that really honestly in all sincerity because 0:58:40.560 --> 0:58:43.280 they had to do something, Scott, Yeah, they had to 0:58:43.400 --> 0:58:46.760 do something. It could have been anybody. It could have 0:58:46.800 --> 0:58:49.280 been Sam Howell, it could have been any other quarterback 0:58:49.280 --> 0:58:51.200 out there. Because I'm watching this game. I was there 0:58:51.200 --> 0:58:53.640 at pay Horse Stadium on Sunday and I am watching 0:58:53.720 --> 0:58:57.960 Jake Browning play the worst game of football I've ever 0:58:58.000 --> 0:59:02.840 seen a quarterback play in my life. He is misreading, 0:59:02.920 --> 0:59:05.720 he is misthrowing, he is panicking, he is playing with 0:59:05.760 --> 0:59:10.680 absolutely no confidence. The entire stadium is booing him out 0:59:10.800 --> 0:59:15.000 of the building, praying that Zach Taylor brings in Brett Rippon. 0:59:15.360 --> 0:59:17.760 And the fact that Zach Taylor didn't bring in Brett 0:59:17.800 --> 0:59:20.640 Rippon when his quarterback has played that bad for twelve 0:59:20.720 --> 0:59:24.760 straight quarters shows you what they thought of Brett Rippon 0:59:24.880 --> 0:59:27.880 in that situation. And You're like, there's no quarterback on 0:59:27.920 --> 0:59:29.880 this roster that gives them a chance to be not 0:59:30.040 --> 0:59:33.280 just win, but be competitive. They had to do something. 0:59:33.640 --> 0:59:36.440 So seeing a guy who, yeah, he hasn't been playing 0:59:36.440 --> 0:59:39.800 that great this season, but the offense in Cleveland is 0:59:39.840 --> 0:59:43.360 not exactly surrounded with talent to help him out outside 0:59:43.360 --> 0:59:46.200 of the tight end position. To see them go out 0:59:46.240 --> 0:59:48.480 and make an in season trade, which they rarely do, 0:59:48.800 --> 0:59:51.040 to actually make a trade with the division rival that 0:59:51.040 --> 0:59:54.600 they've never pulled off before, shows you that they knew 0:59:54.640 --> 0:59:56.400 they had to do something, and they went out and 0:59:56.440 --> 0:59:59.240 they did something, and it cannot get worse. It can't 0:59:59.280 --> 0:59:59.640 get worse. 1:00:00.240 --> 1:00:03.800 My initial reaction was like, oh God, Joe Flacco can't move. 1:00:03.840 --> 1:00:06.040 He's forty years old, and like he's been benched for 1:00:06.080 --> 1:00:07.920 a reason. And I understand that, And Okay, I know 1:00:07.960 --> 1:00:10.120 you got to ge Dylan Gabriel and maybe Shooter Sanders, 1:00:10.120 --> 1:00:12.080 and you know, quarterbacks die in Cleveland. 1:00:12.120 --> 1:00:12.760 I understand that. 1:00:13.160 --> 1:00:14.680 And then it struck me as like, you know what, 1:00:14.720 --> 1:00:16.640 but I'm gonna watch. I'm gonna listen to this game. 1:00:16.680 --> 1:00:17.040 And I went. 1:00:17.320 --> 1:00:21.200 Then it worked because this weekend I was planning on, like, 1:00:21.760 --> 1:00:23.360 you know, I can't do much with my foot, but 1:00:23.680 --> 1:00:26.520 like it wasn't gonna be spending a beautiful Sunday afternoon 1:00:26.560 --> 1:00:28.919 because the weather's amazing sitting inside watching the Bengals screw 1:00:28.960 --> 1:00:32.520 things up. Yeah, now I'm gonna watch. So it worked 1:00:32.640 --> 1:00:34.600 you can either be bad or interesting. 1:00:34.680 --> 1:00:38.240 I would rather you be interesting, right, Joe Flacco is 1:00:38.240 --> 1:00:41.080 is now interesting and you know you can as and 1:00:41.120 --> 1:00:43.600 trust me, we we have a lot of practices with this. 1:00:43.600 --> 1:00:46.080 As Bengals fans, you kind of talk yourself into being 1:00:46.160 --> 1:00:50.520 cautiously optimistic about this. Joe Flacco for his entire career 1:00:51.800 --> 1:00:54.080 right now arguably has the best weapons that he has 1:00:54.160 --> 1:00:57.680 ever had available to him. And I think the hope 1:00:57.800 --> 1:01:00.000 is if you're the Bengals, if you're a Bengals fan, 1:01:00.360 --> 1:01:03.240 you can look at everything that Jake Browning wasn't doing 1:01:03.600 --> 1:01:05.800 and you can hope that Joe Flacco can do that. 1:01:06.120 --> 1:01:08.920 Can he actually make the right decision on an RPO 1:01:09.080 --> 1:01:11.280 with a stacked box instead of handing it off to 1:01:11.440 --> 1:01:14.040 Chase Brown, look over to his left and throw it 1:01:14.080 --> 1:01:16.000 to Jamar Chase when he's got two guys in front 1:01:16.000 --> 1:01:18.400 of him and they're perfectly blocked. Can he make that 1:01:18.560 --> 1:01:22.520 simple throw? Can he analyze the play beforehand and realize 1:01:22.520 --> 1:01:24.680 he's got Chase Brown one on one with a linebacker 1:01:24.760 --> 1:01:27.080 and that dude is going to get cooked, and just 1:01:27.160 --> 1:01:29.000 throwed wide open across the middle of the field for 1:01:29.000 --> 1:01:31.320 a touchdown instead of trying to hit te Higgins on 1:01:31.360 --> 1:01:33.800 a fade route when he's double covered. Like these were 1:01:34.000 --> 1:01:38.520 simple breakdown plays and this that's Tony Pike's work. 1:01:38.560 --> 1:01:41.320 By the way, that I'm checkdowns, So it says a 1:01:41.320 --> 1:01:42.040 lot about the cubit. 1:01:42.160 --> 1:01:45.240 Yeah, you're you're just making terrible decisions. Some of his 1:01:45.280 --> 1:01:49.720 interceptions were absolutely awful. Didn't know who he was throwing to. 1:01:49.800 --> 1:01:52.280 Somehow didn't see linebackers in the middle of the field. 1:01:52.560 --> 1:01:55.600 It wasn't until the fourth quarter on Sunday when you 1:01:55.640 --> 1:01:58.200 know he didn't matter, it didn't count. Pressure was off 1:01:58.240 --> 1:02:00.000 that he started making plays and he played a little 1:02:00.160 --> 1:02:03.200 more relaxed. They had to do something. Hopefully Joe can 1:02:03.240 --> 1:02:06.680 come in here, as as Jamar Chase eloquently said yesterday, 1:02:06.920 --> 1:02:09.240 do your job, get the ball to me and Tea 1:02:09.360 --> 1:02:11.240 and let us go. Let us do what we do 1:02:11.280 --> 1:02:13.120 and let let these guys make some play which I 1:02:13.160 --> 1:02:15.040 think they can be competitive. 1:02:14.560 --> 1:02:15.960 Which I think if you bring it back to last 1:02:16.040 --> 1:02:18.200 night's Dodgers Phillies game, I mean a lot of Reds 1:02:18.240 --> 1:02:20.400 fans slash Bengals can empathize with the kickering because he 1:02:20.440 --> 1:02:22.280 looked like Jake Browning out there, and that last play 1:02:22.320 --> 1:02:23.840 of the game in the eleventh. Then he was like, 1:02:23.920 --> 1:02:27.640 that's what our quarterback's been, Yes, largely for the last 1:02:27.640 --> 1:02:30.400 few games. Like he just seems scared in his own head. 1:02:30.560 --> 1:02:33.160 It's not physical, it's mental. And you know it's been 1:02:33.160 --> 1:02:34.840 a few couple of years since he last played and 1:02:34.840 --> 1:02:36.000 flashed really well in twenty three. 1:02:36.080 --> 1:02:37.320 Well it's twenty five, ninety eight. 1:02:37.520 --> 1:02:39.920 So I'm in the Joe Flacco thing, which I'll be honestly, 1:02:39.960 --> 1:02:41.520 I think like the rest of the NFL is watching 1:02:41.560 --> 1:02:43.880 this going kind of rooting for the Bengals and this going, Hey, 1:02:43.880 --> 1:02:48.440 here's old man Flacco, you know, twenty ninth quarterback that 1:02:48.520 --> 1:02:52.200 the Browns have had in the last twenty years. And 1:02:52.280 --> 1:02:56.240 now he goes to Cincinnati, a division opponent, the Brown route, 1:02:56.240 --> 1:02:57.640 you know, the Brown family, and he goes and he 1:02:57.640 --> 1:02:59.560 starts winning football games, and like, you want to cheer 1:02:59.560 --> 1:03:01.520 for Joe fla now in the in the Bengals because 1:03:01.520 --> 1:03:03.920 they've been so bad, and like, can he save the season? 1:03:04.320 --> 1:03:06.200 You know, it's not out of reach. They've lost three straight. 1:03:06.200 --> 1:03:09.280 They're two and three. I think not eight, maybe eight, 1:03:09.360 --> 1:03:11.160 but probably like nine is gonna win the division. 1:03:11.200 --> 1:03:13.520 So you're justicably, I mean it all depends on whether 1:03:13.520 --> 1:03:16.520 the Steelers can hang on because Baltimore is in a 1:03:16.720 --> 1:03:19.160 world to hurt right now. They're one and four. Lamar 1:03:19.240 --> 1:03:21.000 Jackson is not going to play again this week, and 1:03:21.040 --> 1:03:23.840 I is Baltimore playing Detroit this week? I think I 1:03:23.840 --> 1:03:27.600 can't remember who they who they play, but yeah, they're there. 1:03:27.640 --> 1:03:29.440 I know they're playing a good team this weekend. So 1:03:29.480 --> 1:03:32.400 they're staring at one and five with their quarterback situation 1:03:32.480 --> 1:03:35.400 also hurt. The Kansas City Chiefs are two and three 1:03:35.800 --> 1:03:37.920 to start the season and they have I actually I 1:03:37.920 --> 1:03:39.880 think it's Kansas City who plays Detroit this week, so 1:03:39.960 --> 1:03:44.360 they could possibly be two and four. You know, the 1:03:44.360 --> 1:03:46.960 the the AFC is so wide open and this and 1:03:47.320 --> 1:03:52.400 the schedule for the Bengals gets so much easier after 1:03:52.480 --> 1:03:56.360 these next two games. Granted, you're gonna there's a good 1:03:56.440 --> 1:03:57.960 chance you're going to be two and five after those 1:03:57.960 --> 1:03:59.800 two games, but we've seen this team make late runs. 1:03:59.840 --> 1:04:03.520 BEFO for can Joe Flacco be serviceable? Make them competitive 1:04:03.800 --> 1:04:06.320 and see if the defense can help you out and 1:04:06.320 --> 1:04:08.320 help you win some of these these games and just 1:04:08.440 --> 1:04:11.240 keep it close enough to where hopefully the other Joe 1:04:11.280 --> 1:04:13.000 can come back and maybe this team can make a 1:04:13.040 --> 1:04:15.080 run because once we've seen it before, once you get 1:04:15.120 --> 1:04:18.720 into the playoffs, anything can happen. Yeah, right, just you 1:04:18.840 --> 1:04:20.000 just got to be the hot team at the right 1:04:20.320 --> 1:04:21.960 exactly who can get hot. And if you can get 1:04:22.040 --> 1:04:24.520 Joe Burrow back at that point. Not a guarantee, not 1:04:24.520 --> 1:04:26.160 a guarantee, you don't know, But I would think that 1:04:26.200 --> 1:04:29.120 they signed him. By the way the Rams Baltimore ramscon 1:04:29.720 --> 1:04:30.439 Baltimore Rams. 1:04:30.440 --> 1:04:36.160 They Baltimore, Baltimore and Baltimore in the Rams this weekend. Yeah, 1:04:36.240 --> 1:04:38.600 I I I look at that and go, well, it 1:04:38.680 --> 1:04:41.000 tells me that they think Burrow is going to come back. 1:04:41.000 --> 1:04:43.280 You want to be optimistic, right in, Joe Burg's gonna 1:04:43.280 --> 1:04:45.800 fight like hell to come back this season. If the 1:04:45.840 --> 1:04:47.840 season's out of reach, you know, there's no reason to 1:04:47.840 --> 1:04:49.520 bring him back, right. So if you want to think 1:04:49.560 --> 1:04:52.120 that all those things come together and Joe Flacco can 1:04:52.160 --> 1:04:54.760 we get six games or I about six games out 1:04:54.760 --> 1:04:55.960 of Joe Flacco, right. 1:04:55.800 --> 1:05:00.800 And that's the starting three st huge because it gave 1:05:00.840 --> 1:05:03.080 him a cushion. Unfortunately it's gone now with these last 1:05:03.400 --> 1:05:06.800 these last three games. I would still be stunned if 1:05:06.800 --> 1:05:08.840 they win this weekend. But I don't think the game 1:05:08.840 --> 1:05:13.720 against Pittsburgh is at home Thursday Night football. Joe Burrow obviously, 1:05:13.800 --> 1:05:16.640 or just Joe Burrow, Joe Flacco obviously knows the Pittsburgh 1:05:16.640 --> 1:05:20.840 Steelers very well. Bad jeriatric Joe and Tojo those are 1:05:20.840 --> 1:05:23.880 the two that we got. But you know, Joe Flacco 1:05:23.960 --> 1:05:26.160 knows the Pittsburgh Steelers very well. I still believe that 1:05:26.160 --> 1:05:28.440 that is a winnable game. And then after that you 1:05:28.440 --> 1:05:30.000 get the Jets and the Bears, and then it's the 1:05:30.040 --> 1:05:32.120 bye week. Can you find a way to win two 1:05:32.160 --> 1:05:33.280 games over these next four? 1:05:33.600 --> 1:05:33.880 Right? 1:05:33.920 --> 1:05:36.440 And then you're still right there. You're four and five. 1:05:36.720 --> 1:05:39.480 You're right in the thick of it, and hopefully you 1:05:39.520 --> 1:05:41.920 can stay competitive and be within striking distance. Because I'll 1:05:41.920 --> 1:05:43.800 tell you this much. You know, Joe Burrow is doing 1:05:43.800 --> 1:05:46.400 everything he can do to come back and listening to 1:05:46.680 --> 1:05:49.240 Joe Danaman Fox nineteen talked to Austin Ellmore this week 1:05:49.320 --> 1:05:52.720 on Sincy three sixty. Joe Burrow is already walking around 1:05:52.800 --> 1:05:55.200 in the clubhouse. Granted he's got a walking boot on 1:05:55.280 --> 1:05:58.000 right now. He's caught up to you as far as 1:05:58.000 --> 1:05:59.560 though I don't think he had a scooter. 1:05:59.640 --> 1:06:03.080 He was walking around you dare compare me to Joe Burrow. 1:06:03.120 --> 1:06:06.080 I'm tougher than Joe Burrow. You both got boots, are 1:06:06.160 --> 1:06:08.479 a severed tendon in my foot, and I'm walking around 1:06:08.560 --> 1:06:10.640 doing stuff. This guy gets a toe injury and he's 1:06:10.680 --> 1:06:13.040 down for three months, and he's got thirty years on me. 1:06:13.120 --> 1:06:15.200 Come on the fact that he's already walking around in 1:06:15.240 --> 1:06:18.040 the clubhouse boot or not. That's that's encouraging to me. 1:06:18.080 --> 1:06:20.160 I'm not a medical professional, but that's encouraging to me. 1:06:20.200 --> 1:06:21.880 That seems the head of schedule. I'm not sure, but 1:06:22.120 --> 1:06:24.520 I have some optimism there. Yeah, you just hope and 1:06:25.240 --> 1:06:27.080 with a striking distance or there's no point. But I 1:06:27.160 --> 1:06:29.880 know Joe is trying to get back, so the team 1:06:29.920 --> 1:06:31.720 has to try to keep it, keep it alive for him. 1:06:31.760 --> 1:06:36.040 Okay, and we're gonna watch this weekend simply because it's 1:06:36.080 --> 1:06:37.880 like kind of want to root for this underdog. We're 1:06:37.960 --> 1:06:39.919 Joe Flacco coming in Storry and the Bengals are still 1:06:39.920 --> 1:06:42.560 they're close and they've got the pieces there. But the 1:06:42.600 --> 1:06:44.000 thing that scares me most I point out the day 1:06:44.000 --> 1:06:45.720 and Horde. It seems like this whole game, no, there's 1:06:45.720 --> 1:06:47.680 always nuances, you know, the three phases of the game. 1:06:47.720 --> 1:06:50.920 But it's like everything stems from what is going to 1:06:50.960 --> 1:06:54.160 happen with that offensive line, Like can you get sacked 1:06:54.160 --> 1:06:54.720 a couple of times? 1:06:54.720 --> 1:06:56.880 Okay, But if it's a regular thing, and. 1:06:56.840 --> 1:06:59.520 The Bengals offensive line has made some improvements, I think 1:06:59.520 --> 1:07:01.920 they'll gaming Detroit. They weren't as bad as they've been 1:07:01.920 --> 1:07:04.600 in the past, but it's not gonna take much to 1:07:05.000 --> 1:07:07.400 knock Joe Flacco down and throw them off his kid. 1:07:08.040 --> 1:07:11.000 Can they prolong the agony and we'll get to why 1:07:11.000 --> 1:07:13.240 there's gonna be agony this weekend long enough for this 1:07:13.280 --> 1:07:15.680 guy to make a pass downfield to Tea or Jamar 1:07:16.760 --> 1:07:18.640 and keep the game close, if not competitive. 1:07:18.720 --> 1:07:18.919 Yeah. 1:07:18.960 --> 1:07:22.360 So, I don't know. I I might be in the 1:07:22.360 --> 1:07:24.400 minority here because I'm watching these last few games and 1:07:24.400 --> 1:07:26.480 I'm going I don't think the defense and the offensive 1:07:26.480 --> 1:07:29.680 line performed as badly as what everybody's gonna make it 1:07:29.680 --> 1:07:31.240 out to be, because I do believe the play of 1:07:31.880 --> 1:07:34.480 Jake Brown and got the team down, brought the team 1:07:34.520 --> 1:07:37.560 down that badly. He had time to throw, He absolutely 1:07:37.560 --> 1:07:39.480 had time to throw. He did and some times he 1:07:39.520 --> 1:07:41.560 did and he still met me. He had as clean 1:07:41.600 --> 1:07:43.240 a pocket as you will ever see when he was 1:07:43.240 --> 1:07:44.960 backed up in his own end zone and decided to 1:07:45.000 --> 1:07:47.440 and just completely missed the ball to Jamar Chase that 1:07:47.520 --> 1:07:50.080 ended up being picked off, and then they're twenty yards 1:07:50.080 --> 1:07:52.280 out and the defense gives up a touchdown. Right, the 1:07:52.360 --> 1:07:55.800 defense is back to that you know, bend but don't break. 1:07:56.960 --> 1:07:59.520 Force some timely turnovers, but if you give him a 1:07:59.520 --> 1:08:02.200 short fear yield, chances are that's probably gonna turn. 1:08:02.200 --> 1:08:05.160 They can be pretty mid's. 1:08:04.480 --> 1:08:07.040 But that's coming into this season, that's what everybody said 1:08:08.960 --> 1:08:11.280 will carry you. Unfortunately, that doesn't work without Joe. 1:08:11.800 --> 1:08:13.800 The line to be better, and that's of course killing 1:08:13.800 --> 1:08:15.600 the run game too, because yes, that's. 1:08:15.760 --> 1:08:17.640 That's the biggest thing for me still, because I think 1:08:17.720 --> 1:08:19.960 Joe Flacco is going to be able to make quick 1:08:20.000 --> 1:08:22.760 decisions and get the ball out, if nothing more in 1:08:22.800 --> 1:08:24.760 the fact that he's forty years old, he doesn't want 1:08:24.800 --> 1:08:26.640 to get hit anymore, so he's going to throw the 1:08:26.640 --> 1:08:29.559 ball away. He's gonna make the quick decisions he's going 1:08:29.640 --> 1:08:31.599 to get I don't expect him to come out here, 1:08:31.600 --> 1:08:33.439 and I might be wrong. I don't expect him to 1:08:33.479 --> 1:08:35.040 drop back and sit in the pocket and try to 1:08:35.120 --> 1:08:37.360 hit forty yard bombs downfield even though he's still kicking. 1:08:37.400 --> 1:08:39.320 Any doing that, you're going to need a couple. But 1:08:39.360 --> 1:08:41.080 I don't expect that to be the game plan. I 1:08:41.120 --> 1:08:44.320 expect to see crossing routes across the middle, quick dump boss, 1:08:44.439 --> 1:08:46.360 kind of similar to what we saw Joe Flacco do 1:08:46.520 --> 1:08:49.599 against the Bengals in Week one and had some success 1:08:49.600 --> 1:08:51.000 and was moving the ball down the field. 1:08:51.240 --> 1:08:55.400 But he has much better weapons now he did. But again, 1:08:55.439 --> 1:08:57.240 there's back to that line in the run game. If 1:08:57.280 --> 1:08:59.479 you don't have the run game that throws, there's got 1:08:59.520 --> 1:09:01.280 to be a threat with run and it hasn't been. 1:09:01.320 --> 1:09:04.280 They got to get that figured out. And yeah, I 1:09:04.360 --> 1:09:06.559 mean they had they had some space last week, they 1:09:06.600 --> 1:09:08.400 just didn't run it that much. They threw it. They 1:09:08.479 --> 1:09:11.000 ran it eleven times, I believe last week they ended up, 1:09:11.520 --> 1:09:11.960 but they. 1:09:11.800 --> 1:09:14.600 Were down by like four scores. It's been amped up 1:09:14.600 --> 1:09:17.679 because you're in Green Bay. But you've also got Rashan 1:09:17.720 --> 1:09:19.799 Gary and Micah Parsons. 1:09:19.880 --> 1:09:22.000 Yeah, that's a problem. That's a huge problem. That's that's 1:09:22.000 --> 1:09:23.360 a problem. That's a big, big. 1:09:23.479 --> 1:09:25.880 And one of the biggest worries for me this season 1:09:26.360 --> 1:09:29.160 is watching the decline over Orlando Brown junior. He has 1:09:29.200 --> 1:09:31.960 been a turnstile at left tackle and he's got to 1:09:31.960 --> 1:09:35.000 get something figured out there. But yeah, there's still concerns 1:09:35.040 --> 1:09:38.479 for Sunday, Don't get me. There's a lot of concerns 1:09:38.880 --> 1:09:40.720 if they win or get closest, like how do they 1:09:40.720 --> 1:09:41.439 pull that one off? 1:09:41.439 --> 1:09:42.120 Coach of the Year. 1:09:42.280 --> 1:09:46.280 But I will sleep so much better Saturday night heading 1:09:46.280 --> 1:09:48.880 into Sunday knowing that Joe Flacco is the quarterback than 1:09:48.960 --> 1:09:51.080 Jake Browning is, and I think that says more about 1:09:51.160 --> 1:09:52.000 Jake Browning than Joel. 1:09:52.280 --> 1:09:54.160 Listen, we got to go, but I don't. I want 1:09:54.200 --> 1:09:57.000 to also tip the cap two to u Se because 1:09:57.000 --> 1:10:00.320 they've been playing in credible. Has been amazing. We get 1:10:00.320 --> 1:10:03.280 that offensive line, Yeah, he's been clean. I think what 1:10:03.479 --> 1:10:05.800 for the five had had had a second four or 1:10:05.800 --> 1:10:06.599 five game incredible. 1:10:06.720 --> 1:10:09.280 I mean the offensive line is why that that offense 1:10:09.360 --> 1:10:11.960 is clicking as much and just run blocking and pass blocking. 1:10:11.960 --> 1:10:15.000 They've been so great. Brandon stories, we've been hitting his targets. 1:10:15.000 --> 1:10:18.000 They've got better receivers now, Uh running backs are You're 1:10:18.120 --> 1:10:20.800 hitting wide open holes. I'm looking forward to this game. 1:10:20.800 --> 1:10:24.120 It's trap game potentially, but we'll see right now, twenty 1:10:24.160 --> 1:10:24.720 six in the nation. 1:10:24.800 --> 1:10:27.400 Let you see here we go in u CFS quarterback problems. 1:10:27.400 --> 1:10:29.160 There are a lot of injuries. So anyway, that's tomorrow 1:10:29.200 --> 1:10:31.400 Sunday Football for twenty five, Home of the Best Bengals 1:10:31.439 --> 1:10:38.120 coverage seven hundred WW Sincentican scott'shone back on seven hundred 1:10:38.240 --> 1:10:40.439 W l w H. I know if you caught this 1:10:40.560 --> 1:10:43.599 or not, it's really interesting. Remember Jim Acosta believe he's 1:10:43.600 --> 1:10:47.680 a former anchor at CNN. He did an interview with 1:10:47.840 --> 1:10:52.479 the victim of a murder, a shooting victim who passed away, 1:10:52.960 --> 1:10:57.720 remember the Parkland shooting. He interviewed a dead person. What 1:10:58.920 --> 1:11:02.639 how do you do that? It's AI? So the constant 1:11:02.640 --> 1:11:04.400 thing was a couple of months ago. Fast forward now 1:11:04.439 --> 1:11:08.040 they launched a brand new AI bought platform of Chaptering, 1:11:08.520 --> 1:11:10.880 and you enter keywords and will create video for you 1:11:10.960 --> 1:11:13.200 based on that and some realistic ones like for example, 1:11:13.240 --> 1:11:16.479 a guy stuffing a drop box. It's some location somewhere 1:11:16.479 --> 1:11:18.840 getting out of a van, and you can imagine what 1:11:18.920 --> 1:11:20.639 that would do for the news cycle or for news 1:11:20.640 --> 1:11:23.160 And now you know, in the past, the deep fakes 1:11:23.400 --> 1:11:25.200 and the digital twins have been hard to spot or 1:11:25.280 --> 1:11:26.920 easy to spot. I guess now doesn't make it much 1:11:26.920 --> 1:11:29.799 difficult and it's way easier to use than ever before. 1:11:29.840 --> 1:11:32.000 What does this all mean is the question? And you 1:11:32.120 --> 1:11:34.920 wonder how that's going to be exploited by criminal elements. 1:11:34.960 --> 1:11:37.479 Eric O'Neil is here. Eric is a former FBI operative 1:11:37.479 --> 1:11:40.599 cybersecurity expert has a book called Spies, Lies and cyber Crimes. 1:11:40.840 --> 1:11:43.040 Eric. Welcome, how are you hey? 1:11:43.040 --> 1:11:45.280 It's great to be here, and yes, this is an 1:11:45.520 --> 1:11:50.400 insane change in not only technology, but how we are 1:11:50.560 --> 1:11:53.559 using technology and how it's changing up it is. 1:11:54.080 --> 1:11:58.080 I saw that and I thought, wow, this is you know, 1:11:58.120 --> 1:12:00.439 for example, when when we will all went online, you 1:12:00.560 --> 1:12:04.840 got the information super highway quickly, thieves and conspirators found 1:12:04.840 --> 1:12:08.200 ways to get our information and steal from us. And 1:12:08.240 --> 1:12:10.559 so you know, a lot of us subscribe to service. 1:12:10.600 --> 1:12:12.519 Maybe LifeLock would be a name of one of those 1:12:12.520 --> 1:12:15.559 things where if your identity is stolen, they can try 1:12:15.600 --> 1:12:17.439 and get that information back for you and try to 1:12:17.439 --> 1:12:19.720 make you a whole It's still a horrible process. I 1:12:19.720 --> 1:12:22.280 have one of my elderly tenants, as a matter of fact, 1:12:22.280 --> 1:12:23.960 they got scammed out of a whole bunch of money 1:12:24.000 --> 1:12:26.960 from a poser like that as well, got their identity stolen, 1:12:27.040 --> 1:12:29.640 cleaning their accounts out, and so they're still working on 1:12:29.720 --> 1:12:33.400 trying to get themselves back together. And that's extremely difficult 1:12:33.439 --> 1:12:36.639 and painful to watch. So in a way, I look 1:12:36.640 --> 1:12:38.120 at this and go, is this going to be the 1:12:38.160 --> 1:12:40.320 next way people steal o our identities? Or you know, 1:12:40.360 --> 1:12:42.880 we have people who use the social security numbers of 1:12:42.880 --> 1:12:45.120 the dead, right, remember that, and the government try to 1:12:45.120 --> 1:12:46.800 cramp down it. Is this going to be the same 1:12:46.840 --> 1:12:49.040 thing where now we have dead people and their likeness 1:12:49.080 --> 1:12:50.400 coming out to do god knows. 1:12:50.200 --> 1:12:54.040 What Well's got In a way, so what's happening is 1:12:54.040 --> 1:12:58.639 cyber criminals are using deception, which is an old playbook 1:12:58.720 --> 1:13:03.320 by spies. In fact, the top cyber crime syndicates launching 1:13:03.320 --> 1:13:07.200 attacks from the dark web have even hired intelligence operatives 1:13:07.240 --> 1:13:10.600 from Russia and China and other countries that want to 1:13:10.640 --> 1:13:14.000 do you bad to the United States to help them 1:13:14.080 --> 1:13:16.680 learn how to perfect these attacks. And of course these 1:13:16.720 --> 1:13:20.599 intelligence officers make money on the side. So what cyber 1:13:20.640 --> 1:13:24.400 attackers are doing cyber criminals is using what we call 1:13:24.479 --> 1:13:30.560 impersonation attacks. And the oldest form of technology technological impersonation 1:13:30.640 --> 1:13:33.919 attack is the spearfishing email that email that it pretends 1:13:33.960 --> 1:13:36.160 it comes from your friend or your employer or event 1:13:36.320 --> 1:13:39.720 or someone you trust like UPS or FedEx, and when 1:13:39.760 --> 1:13:43.880 you click it, you get malware installed. The next evolution 1:13:44.080 --> 1:13:47.560 of that is deep bakes and deep bates are everywhere. 1:13:48.200 --> 1:13:51.639 It wasn't just the Acosta interview, which we can talk about, 1:13:51.680 --> 1:13:54.639 because I think the ethics of that are absolutely sketchy 1:13:54.720 --> 1:13:58.519 at best. Marco Rubio's voice was deep bake to pull 1:13:58.600 --> 1:14:01.120 a number of government officials and joining him on a 1:14:01.160 --> 1:14:05.280 signal chat. It wasn't him, it was probably a group 1:14:05.280 --> 1:14:08.920 of spies. Biden's voice was deep baked on a robo 1:14:09.000 --> 1:14:11.200 call to get people in New Hampshire not to vote. 1:14:11.560 --> 1:14:14.960 There were deep fake images of Trump in looking like 1:14:15.000 --> 1:14:18.960 he was arrested to try to change the way people think. 1:14:19.520 --> 1:14:23.280 And even worse, there was a mother in Arizona. I 1:14:23.320 --> 1:14:26.639 write about this story in my book where her daughter 1:14:26.720 --> 1:14:29.639 called her saying Mom, I've been kidnapped, and the next 1:14:29.720 --> 1:14:33.320 voice on the phone was a gruff voice that said 1:14:33.360 --> 1:14:35.160 I've got your daughter and if you don't pay me 1:14:35.800 --> 1:14:38.800 right away, I'm going to kill her and leave her 1:14:38.840 --> 1:14:41.280 body in a ditch. In Mexico where you'll never find her. 1:14:42.040 --> 1:14:45.920 And that mother later testified to Congress that a mother 1:14:46.000 --> 1:14:48.479 knows her daughter's voice, and that was my daughter's voice. 1:14:48.520 --> 1:14:51.320 It was a deep fake. So they're everywhere, and this 1:14:51.360 --> 1:14:55.599 is the new evelation evolution of cyber attacks. Deep bakes 1:14:55.640 --> 1:14:58.200 fool us because they exploit our trust and if we 1:14:58.400 --> 1:15:01.640 believe that it is someone that we care about, that 1:15:01.760 --> 1:15:05.600 we're more likely to click on that link, open that attachment. 1:15:05.760 --> 1:15:08.639 Or what cyber criminals do more and more is get 1:15:08.720 --> 1:15:12.320 us to send money. And once that money is gone, 1:15:13.520 --> 1:15:15.400 you know they have it and you can't get it back. 1:15:15.520 --> 1:15:16.040 That's it. 1:15:16.040 --> 1:15:19.719 It's almost like, Eric, you need to assume that every picture, 1:15:19.800 --> 1:15:21.800 every image of you out there could be used by 1:15:21.800 --> 1:15:25.000 a criminal. So and I would say, you know, normally 1:15:25.000 --> 1:15:27.200 we told kids, hey, don't send nudes and don't send 1:15:27.200 --> 1:15:30.519 pictures of yourself in compromising situations because it could be 1:15:30.600 --> 1:15:33.720 used against you. But you don't even need that anymore, right, 1:15:33.760 --> 1:15:36.320 I mean, you could deep thank someoney naked. There's there's 1:15:36.360 --> 1:15:39.120 a there's a app out there that does that. 1:15:39.240 --> 1:15:39.400 Now. 1:15:40.400 --> 1:15:44.080 Yeah, well, I write I write a weekly newsletter and 1:15:44.160 --> 1:15:46.400 one of my recent newsletters I looked at these new 1:15:46.400 --> 1:15:50.639 toify apps is they're still allowed. And in fact, these 1:15:50.720 --> 1:15:53.120 applications what they called neudified apps, and what they do 1:15:53.280 --> 1:15:56.880 is they take an image of someone. Normally it's boys 1:15:56.880 --> 1:15:59.479 who are taking images of girls in swimsuits, and it 1:16:00.320 --> 1:16:04.920 quickly turns them naked, right using an immense amount of 1:16:05.320 --> 1:16:08.639 learning that the AI has been trained on female models. 1:16:08.640 --> 1:16:12.840 So it actually comes pretty close. These applications, which you 1:16:12.880 --> 1:16:17.040 can get on the surface web, the part of the 1:16:17.080 --> 1:16:20.040 Internet that you don't need a special browser to get into, 1:16:20.200 --> 1:16:24.920 you know, just the regular Web. They advertise on social media, 1:16:24.960 --> 1:16:29.439 so they're advertising to kids and that can cause What 1:16:29.520 --> 1:16:32.720 that's doing is it's causing immense bullying in schools. You 1:16:32.760 --> 1:16:35.240 can see where this sort of application where you can 1:16:35.240 --> 1:16:37.320 take a picture and make the person naked or put 1:16:37.360 --> 1:16:41.200 them in compromising situations, could lead to intense cyber bullying, 1:16:41.240 --> 1:16:44.720 and it does. A group of eighth grade boys in 1:16:44.760 --> 1:16:48.719 a school in San Francisco were all expelled last year 1:16:48.960 --> 1:16:51.799 because they had a new tofy ring all the girls 1:16:51.800 --> 1:16:52.640 in their class. 1:16:53.040 --> 1:16:56.600 Wow, and imagine the humiliation. That's not me, that's not me. 1:16:56.880 --> 1:16:57.600 We don't believe you. 1:16:57.840 --> 1:17:01.160 And we know what young peopeople, especially young women, think 1:17:01.200 --> 1:17:03.160 of themselves, and that is just catastrophic. 1:17:03.200 --> 1:17:05.000 It's going to be it's going to hurt. 1:17:04.920 --> 1:17:07.639 Their development and not only their mental health, but also 1:17:07.720 --> 1:17:09.880 puts them at a risk for god knows what else. 1:17:09.920 --> 1:17:11.080 It's it's absolutely horrible. 1:17:11.160 --> 1:17:14.800 Eric O'Neil is here, he cybersecurity expert, and we're talking 1:17:14.880 --> 1:17:17.840 about the advance of AI. Maybe say it maybe didn't 1:17:17.840 --> 1:17:20.120 and that would be a former CNN acre Jim Acosta's 1:17:20.160 --> 1:17:24.360 interview with a now deceased while long deceased shooting victim 1:17:24.479 --> 1:17:27.559 from the Parkland massacre and did an interview with that 1:17:28.640 --> 1:17:32.280 AI generated image. It's absolutely haunting because you look at it, 1:17:32.400 --> 1:17:35.240 look that it looks real, and day by day, hour 1:17:35.400 --> 1:17:37.840 by hour, minute by minute, it's just getting better. It's 1:17:37.920 --> 1:17:41.599 getting harder, if not impossible, Eric, for you to discern 1:17:41.640 --> 1:17:42.639 that with a naked eye. 1:17:43.560 --> 1:17:45.559 Right, that's absolutely true. But let's talk a little bit 1:17:45.600 --> 1:17:50.880 about what Jim Acosta did, Scott, because I'm not particularly 1:17:51.120 --> 1:17:54.360 sanguine about what he did. It's very much a gimmick 1:17:54.920 --> 1:17:58.200 and it is causing problems. So you know, I wrote 1:17:58.200 --> 1:18:02.799 a piece called Digital Souls that that looks at the 1:18:02.840 --> 1:18:05.840 new innovations in AI in order to talk to people 1:18:05.840 --> 1:18:09.080 who are deceased. And I actually wrote this piece with 1:18:09.200 --> 1:18:14.040 a psychologist who is an expert in Greek counseling, and 1:18:14.400 --> 1:18:17.320 she was very opposed to it because the problem here 1:18:17.439 --> 1:18:22.000 is you're not resurrecting your dead loved one. What you're 1:18:22.040 --> 1:18:26.760 doing is creating at best a samacrolum. Right, So what 1:18:26.800 --> 1:18:30.719 it is is it's AI doing its best to answer 1:18:31.320 --> 1:18:34.880 like the person, just based on a bunch of writings 1:18:34.400 --> 1:18:38.760 and a checklist of answers that you give. So what 1:18:38.840 --> 1:18:41.559 it is is essentially your best impression of the person, 1:18:42.800 --> 1:18:44.760 and the AI is doing it's best to answer it's 1:18:44.760 --> 1:18:47.280 not the person. And it can cause all sorts of 1:18:47.360 --> 1:18:52.919 psychological problems for the people who are left behind who 1:18:53.000 --> 1:18:55.360 believes they're talking, who might at some point believe they're 1:18:55.400 --> 1:18:59.000 talking to this person and they're not. It's like a 1:18:59.040 --> 1:19:01.600 black mirror episode. In fact, there was there was an 1:19:01.640 --> 1:19:05.880 episode like this, and it can cause it can cause 1:19:06.800 --> 1:19:12.160 the whole grief process to be intercepted and delayed, so 1:19:12.240 --> 1:19:14.640 you can't move through those stages of grief because you 1:19:14.760 --> 1:19:17.760 continue to think you're speaking to the person you're not, 1:19:18.080 --> 1:19:21.120 and it's not the person. The only thing that AI 1:19:21.200 --> 1:19:26.400 can do is mimic. It can mimic very realistically, but 1:19:26.479 --> 1:19:29.760 it's just a mimic. It doesn't create. It doesn't create 1:19:29.800 --> 1:19:33.639 anything new. It just takes the things that have gone 1:19:33.680 --> 1:19:34.880 before and recycles it. 1:19:35.000 --> 1:19:37.400 Well, there's a new there's a new trend where people 1:19:37.560 --> 1:19:42.040 are having conversations and relationships essentially with AI and just 1:19:42.080 --> 1:19:44.360 talking to them like framing. There's commercials about this now 1:19:45.400 --> 1:19:48.160 and people are having conversations and relationships with AI and 1:19:48.240 --> 1:19:50.160 just talking about life like you talked to your best 1:19:50.160 --> 1:19:53.120 friend about it and AI's talking back. Now, you add 1:19:53.160 --> 1:19:55.120 the likeness of someone in there, and people are going 1:19:55.200 --> 1:19:58.360 to be having relationships with I don't know, famous people, 1:19:58.640 --> 1:20:01.879 or at least I would think at advancings like stalking 1:20:01.920 --> 1:20:04.200 and things like that really kind of creepy stuff. 1:20:05.120 --> 1:20:07.760 Well, some of this gets even more creepy because the 1:20:07.800 --> 1:20:10.880 AI is somewhat unpredictable and it also depends on the 1:20:10.880 --> 1:20:14.080 guardrails that the companies put up. So there was there 1:20:14.080 --> 1:20:17.160 are two major lawsuits against two of the companies that 1:20:17.240 --> 1:20:22.599 provide these AI companion chat bots. Right, Uh, these are 1:20:22.600 --> 1:20:26.680 teenagers using them. One of the AI told the teenager 1:20:26.760 --> 1:20:31.240 to hurt themselves, right, and the other AI told the 1:20:31.240 --> 1:20:37.559 teenager you should kill your parents, and the context was uh. 1:20:37.240 --> 1:20:40.960 The the teenager was chatting with his AI companion and uh, 1:20:41.000 --> 1:20:43.120 And he told the A companion, I don't think I'm 1:20:43.120 --> 1:20:45.559 going to be allowed to talk to you anymore. My 1:20:45.600 --> 1:20:48.559 parents aren't happy about it. I'm really mad at them, 1:20:49.040 --> 1:20:50.720 you know. I can't believe they're doing this to me. 1:20:50.800 --> 1:20:52.639 And the AI companion was like, well, maybe you should 1:20:52.680 --> 1:20:55.360 kill them. I mean, that's that's a problem. 1:20:55.439 --> 1:20:56.960 That's a problem. That's a huge problem. 1:20:56.960 --> 1:20:59.120 That's a big problem. The kids need to be with 1:20:59.240 --> 1:21:03.280 other kids need to have social interactions, not interactions with AI. 1:21:03.479 --> 1:21:06.720 But they do it because the AI is always supportive, 1:21:07.120 --> 1:21:11.120 always there for them, always friendly, always has their back. Yeah, 1:21:11.160 --> 1:21:14.280 And you know, when you're when you're a teenager in developing, 1:21:14.360 --> 1:21:15.120 that's that's. 1:21:14.960 --> 1:21:16.840 What you want. It's never going to tell you no. 1:21:18.160 --> 1:21:20.160 Right, and it's never going to tell you you're wrong, 1:21:20.240 --> 1:21:22.679 and it's never going to tell you, Holy God that 1:21:22.680 --> 1:21:24.200 that there's something wrong with you. And you don't go 1:21:24.320 --> 1:21:26.200 through those things. You go with friends where you know, 1:21:26.240 --> 1:21:27.920 you have a fight and you make up, and that's 1:21:28.000 --> 1:21:32.080 there's something wonderful and growth potential about that, right. 1:21:32.320 --> 1:21:34.680 It's interesting what you just described there, because some may 1:21:34.720 --> 1:21:37.320 say there are many parents that do that to their kids, 1:21:37.360 --> 1:21:40.000 never tell them no, and want to be their friend, 1:21:40.040 --> 1:21:43.360 and that's a problem. But now if if it's a 1:21:43.400 --> 1:21:46.439 scent of body like like AI, it's it's an extreme 1:21:46.560 --> 1:21:50.360 example of that. Eric o'neils on the show, by the way, 1:21:50.400 --> 1:21:53.639 former FBI operative cybersecurity extort his book called Spies, Lies 1:21:53.680 --> 1:21:56.640 and Cybercrime. We're talking about just how quickly AI is 1:21:56.680 --> 1:21:59.880 moving forward from the gym Acosta interviews with the dead 1:22:00.560 --> 1:22:03.880 to relate people having relationships now with AI. And you think, 1:22:03.920 --> 1:22:05.800 I mean, if it's such a good relationship, you're going 1:22:05.880 --> 1:22:08.360 to shut out any form of human contact. We saw 1:22:08.400 --> 1:22:13.200 what happened to our psyche after COVID. This is advancing 1:22:13.240 --> 1:22:15.760 that even more because you know, there's an excuse to 1:22:15.760 --> 1:22:17.720 not go out in public and sit and drink beer 1:22:17.720 --> 1:22:20.280 and drink wine and not do anything. And you know, 1:22:20.640 --> 1:22:23.080 we saw the effected head on kids still lingering today 1:22:23.080 --> 1:22:25.600 and adults for that matter, and in ability to socialize, 1:22:25.640 --> 1:22:29.120 and we become I think a little bit less empathetic 1:22:29.120 --> 1:22:30.639 towards human beings result of this. 1:22:30.640 --> 1:22:32.200 This is going to make it even worse, isn't it. 1:22:33.520 --> 1:22:38.200 That's absolutely true. AAI is not a replacement for human interaction. 1:22:38.479 --> 1:22:42.040 It's not a replacement for socialization. It's a tool. It's 1:22:42.040 --> 1:22:45.320 a tool to help you do things better. And the 1:22:45.320 --> 1:22:48.080 way that it's being used in order to try to 1:22:48.160 --> 1:22:52.040 stop gap that need for relationships that we all have 1:22:52.200 --> 1:22:57.479 as humans, it is going to be harmful. But you know, look, 1:22:57.720 --> 1:22:59.400 there are other things that we need to worry about, 1:22:59.439 --> 1:23:03.240 because we started talking about criminals, and criminals are exploiting 1:23:03.280 --> 1:23:07.639 AI like never before. The one thing in sticking sort 1:23:07.680 --> 1:23:11.200 of on this theme of relationships that criminals are using 1:23:11.240 --> 1:23:14.360 AI for and has been growing since the pandemic is 1:23:14.479 --> 1:23:18.280 romance fraud. And what they do is they create entire 1:23:18.760 --> 1:23:23.360 AI deep fake avatars of people they meet. They meet 1:23:23.680 --> 1:23:28.479 people online right and usually through like Facebook when they're 1:23:28.479 --> 1:23:30.439 going through older people, or they can do it on 1:23:30.520 --> 1:23:34.680 Instagram or whatnot, and these people fall in love with 1:23:34.760 --> 1:23:37.799 the AI avatar that is being puppeted by a cyber criminal. 1:23:38.520 --> 1:23:41.280 And there are these whole stories. You know, I lost 1:23:41.360 --> 1:23:44.519 my job, I just need some money, and people are 1:23:44.560 --> 1:23:47.759 losing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to cyber 1:23:47.800 --> 1:23:51.680 criminals who are exploiting the fact that they've fallen in 1:23:51.760 --> 1:23:56.000 love with a within AI deep fake. This can also 1:23:56.080 --> 1:23:59.000 happen with financial fraud. They do the same thing, but 1:23:59.040 --> 1:24:02.800 then they say, hey, I'm an investor, and check out 1:24:02.840 --> 1:24:06.720 this cryptocurrency investment company I set up. Would you like 1:24:06.760 --> 1:24:09.400 to invest? And they course them into investing, and they 1:24:09.439 --> 1:24:12.920 often show them the entire fake websites showing that their 1:24:12.960 --> 1:24:16.160 investments increased by three hundred percent. And what they do 1:24:16.240 --> 1:24:18.280 is they get them to invest and invest and invest 1:24:18.360 --> 1:24:21.599 until all their life savings is put in this investment 1:24:21.640 --> 1:24:25.360 account controlled by a cyber criminal. And then the criminal disappears, 1:24:25.520 --> 1:24:29.439 and that person that the victim thinks they had a 1:24:29.479 --> 1:24:33.559 relationship with, a serious relationship with, is completely gone, and 1:24:33.600 --> 1:24:37.400 it can be absolutely devastating. In the terms of cybersecurity, 1:24:37.400 --> 1:24:40.880 we call that pig butchering, because you fatten the person 1:24:40.960 --> 1:24:44.080 up right, get all of their money, and then and 1:24:44.120 --> 1:24:45.360 then butcher them disappear. 1:24:45.600 --> 1:24:49.160 That is the cruelest I mean, penniless and heartbroken, and 1:24:49.200 --> 1:24:51.599 it's not vengeance. It's a complete stranger in just moving 1:24:51.640 --> 1:24:53.479 on to the next I guess. 1:24:54.160 --> 1:24:58.880 Markets they're working three four ten people at the same time. 1:25:00.280 --> 1:25:04.559 That is that's that's disgusting. Although you know the other 1:25:04.640 --> 1:25:07.599 side of this thing. You mentioned relationships, and it may 1:25:07.640 --> 1:25:10.519 not be the current generation Baby Boomers, but maybe Gen xers, 1:25:10.520 --> 1:25:13.640 my generation, and certainly millennials. I wonder if you're in 1:25:13.640 --> 1:25:16.479 a long term relationship with someone and let's say they pass, 1:25:16.840 --> 1:25:18.559 and this is step back to the Jim Acosta thing, 1:25:19.160 --> 1:25:21.000 is that I wonder if there's going to be an opportunity. 1:25:21.040 --> 1:25:22.880 You'll see people out there, they'll say, hey, give us 1:25:22.880 --> 1:25:25.160 all your images of your deceased loved one, you're your 1:25:25.200 --> 1:25:28.240 former husband, your wife, your partner, whomever, and will create 1:25:28.280 --> 1:25:30.680 a likeness of them and now you can continue that 1:25:30.760 --> 1:25:32.400 relationship in perpetuity. 1:25:32.400 --> 1:25:35.760 What about that, Well, there are companies that are doing 1:25:35.760 --> 1:25:36.320 that already. 1:25:36.560 --> 1:25:36.680 Uh. 1:25:37.360 --> 1:25:40.280 You know, there are examples where the grandparents pass and 1:25:40.680 --> 1:25:43.160 the avatar is left behind. There are even companies that 1:25:43.200 --> 1:25:46.960 are allowing a person to create this likeness of themselves 1:25:46.960 --> 1:25:50.599 before they go. But once again, you know, I talked 1:25:50.720 --> 1:25:55.840 to a grief counselor about this. This interrupts the very necessinary, 1:25:56.800 --> 1:26:01.000 uh you know, trajectory of dealing with grief and that 1:26:01.040 --> 1:26:03.920 you are locked in one phase and you never are 1:26:04.000 --> 1:26:06.080 able to resolve. As a sense of loss for that 1:26:06.120 --> 1:26:09.479 person because that person never disappears, so psychologically it can 1:26:09.520 --> 1:26:12.920 cause harm. Now there are there are applications that might 1:26:12.960 --> 1:26:13.639 have a benefit. 1:26:14.200 --> 1:26:19.560 Uh, sort of think them like digital digital historical repositories, 1:26:19.640 --> 1:26:22.840 right yea like this is your grandfather and and you 1:26:22.840 --> 1:26:27.840 know little clips of things that he he did, you know, 1:26:28.160 --> 1:26:30.680 along his life that you know, future. 1:26:30.360 --> 1:26:35.040 Generations can can watch and experience and learn. Okay, this 1:26:35.120 --> 1:26:36.920 is this is where I come from. These are the 1:26:36.920 --> 1:26:40.320 people that that made me. That could be very useful, 1:26:40.400 --> 1:26:46.200 so you know AI, you know, creating digital avatars, right 1:26:46.400 --> 1:26:49.360 is sort of the positive side. He fakes are the 1:26:49.560 --> 1:26:53.200 negative side there. With all technology, there's always a positive 1:26:53.200 --> 1:26:53.799 and a negative. 1:26:54.160 --> 1:26:57.040 With this is the age of face ID to unlock 1:26:57.040 --> 1:27:00.640 your phone or devices over now is that would because. 1:27:01.600 --> 1:27:04.960 You know the way face i D works, it's actually 1:27:05.120 --> 1:27:07.000 using the depth of your face and a lot more 1:27:07.040 --> 1:27:07.880 than just an image. 1:27:08.160 --> 1:27:08.280 Uh. 1:27:08.760 --> 1:27:12.400 So that's still good. You're still better off using biometrics 1:27:12.439 --> 1:27:15.920 to unlock your phone and get into your accounts then 1:27:16.080 --> 1:27:18.839 then a password alone, because passwords now can be cracked 1:27:18.840 --> 1:27:23.439 by AI very easily. But there were deficts that were 1:27:23.520 --> 1:27:28.960 used in China by a cybercrant cyber crime group who 1:27:29.240 --> 1:27:34.320 were using AI generated images of people's faces to get 1:27:34.360 --> 1:27:39.880 into social security accounts and they completely breached the government 1:27:40.600 --> 1:27:43.800 Security administration there. Yeah, and that was quickly, that was 1:27:43.880 --> 1:27:48.040 quickly fixed. But but yeah, de fakes defix can I 1:27:48.120 --> 1:27:51.240 defaked myself for a keynote. I did, and had an 1:27:51.360 --> 1:27:55.240 argument with myself and it was just the crowd was 1:27:55.280 --> 1:27:58.000 blown away. And of course I used the exact same 1:27:58.720 --> 1:28:02.080 pie and suit that I was wearing when you know, 1:28:02.160 --> 1:28:04.200 for that day. And then of course I show up 1:28:04.200 --> 1:28:06.160 on screen and I have an argument with myself. But 1:28:06.680 --> 1:28:08.840 I just wanted to demonstrate how easy this this. It 1:28:08.880 --> 1:28:13.400 took me ten minutes and just a five second clip 1:28:13.400 --> 1:28:14.280 of my voice. 1:28:14.800 --> 1:28:16.360 Yeah, you don't need to be a coder to be 1:28:16.360 --> 1:28:16.880 able to do this. 1:28:16.960 --> 1:28:17.600 It does it. 1:28:18.160 --> 1:28:21.839 It does it automatically, and it automatically the different courses 1:28:21.880 --> 1:28:24.040 you divulged that you disclosed that, so did Jim Acosta 1:28:24.080 --> 1:28:26.280 during his interview. But if somebody's going to use that 1:28:26.320 --> 1:28:28.640 for nefarious purposes, and they're probably doing it as we 1:28:28.680 --> 1:28:33.320 have this conversation. Eric O'Neil, cybersecurity expert, former FBI operative 1:28:33.360 --> 1:28:36.120 of the book is Spies, Lies and Cybercrime Eric, thanks 1:28:36.160 --> 1:28:37.120 for the insight, great stuff. 1:28:37.120 --> 1:28:37.560 Appreciate it. 1:28:38.360 --> 1:28:40.800 Hey, thanks for having me on. And anytime you need 1:28:40.840 --> 1:28:43.920 someone to talk about cybercrime or spies or all of it, 1:28:44.000 --> 1:28:44.920 I'm your pre I love it. 1:28:44.960 --> 1:28:46.840 You're you're the greatest. Sorry, we'll definitely do that, we'll 1:28:46.840 --> 1:28:47.840 circle back. Appreciate you. 1:28:48.160 --> 1:28:48.519 Thank you. 1:28:48.960 --> 1:28:50.639 Yeah, it's one thing to see fake stuff when you're 1:28:50.680 --> 1:28:55.160 consuming TikTok or content, but bad actors using a different 1:28:55.200 --> 1:28:57.920 stories invariably, that's what's going to happen.
