WEBVTT - 10-10-25 Scott Sloan Show 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:03.920 You want to be an American, tell me back on 0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:08.399 seven hundred W LWV two and three. Bengals are at 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:10.680 the Packers Sunday four twenty five. You'll here to hear 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:12.959 Home of the Best Bengals coverage seven hundred W W 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:15.400 with a new Joe and a new toe with the 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.239 helm Joe Flacco debuting with four or five days of prep. 0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:21.119 Bengals lose three in a row. Can they snap the 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:24.040 streak and give the ball to a guy who has 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.759 now played and beaten? By the way, if the Bengals 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.440 can pull this miracle off, we'll have beaten the Green 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.159 Bay Packers twice in a four week span. It's like 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.160 almost like he's a quarterback of a NFC North team 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.600 or something. It's like the quarterback of the Chicago Bears. 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:39.640 Dan Horde, of course, voice of the Bengals, jumps on 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.600 the show this morning every Friday morning to chop it up. Danny, welcome, 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:42.920 How are. 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:45.000 You, Sonny, I'm great. 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:46.280 How are you doing well? 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.519 I'm doing well. So he got Joe with a good toe. 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.000 And when you heard the news, because we all heard 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.920 the news as the voice of the Bengals, when you 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.520 heard either the unconfirmed rumor or the announcement that Joe 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.600 Flacco was signed He's coming to Cincinnati. What was your 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:02.960 immediate gut reaction immediately when you heard that. 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:04.600 I was stunned. 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.560 I was stunned by the person, not the fact that 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.959 they made a trade, because we have heard those rumors 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:10.760 for a couple of weeks, and the names that had 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:15.080 been bandied about most frequently were Russell Wilson and Jamis Winston. 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.400 Neither one of those guys got me too excited. 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.040 I was a little bit interested when I heard Andy 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.200 Dalton might be a possibility that one obviously could have 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.840 made some sense. But I did not expect Joe plackom. 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.200 But they felt they had to do something, and I'm 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:31.639 excited to see how it looks. 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.880 Yeah, we shall see on Sunday. Now, I's only had 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:38.280 what four or five days of work put in, but 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.880 you know, his experienced quarterback. He's done this before, So 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.560 you know, veteran quarterback coming in that doesn't concern me 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.280 all that much. And maybe a basic game plan for 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.320 him because he can't go a full playbook with Joe, 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.080 Maybe that's maybe less is more here, huh. 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.600 I think the fact that he's faced the Packers and 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:55.640 faced them recently. 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.600 Is really helpful. He knows what to expect from the 0:01:58.640 --> 0:01:59.560 Green Bay defense. 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.480 Some of that off the plate in terms of trying 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.760 to get up to speed quickly so he can really 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.760 concentrate on the play calls and that kind of stuff 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.280 with the Bengals, And yeah, I think you're right, they've 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.239 got to cut down in the playbook a little bit. 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:18.240 But the dude's been playing for eighteen years. He's stepped 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.239 in under similar circumstances before. A couple of years ago 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:23.919 with Cleveland, he did have more practices, but he had 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.640 not been with the team in that year. He hadn't 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.160 even been playing. So I think if anybody can do 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:33.120 this in a short span of time, it's somebody who 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.239 has two hundred regular season NFL starts under his belt 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.920 and eighteen playoff games and a Super Bowl win. 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.880 All right. So the concern then, of course the most obviously, 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.799 And to me, there's a lot of nuances with the game. 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.080 And I'm curious to hear your take on all that. 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.320 To me, does this begin an end to a large 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.560 degree with what happens with the offensive line? I mean, Bengals, 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.639 A lot of what seventy five pressures, eleven sacks and 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.720 five games. Their highest graded pass blocker, Dylan Fairchild, will 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.600 be out. And we're not really good at at scheming 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.800 for the run either, as they are on pass protection. 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.080 So you've got Orlando Brown who's not playing the highest 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.600 graded run blocker and not I think I think I 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.839 saw someone Jamar Cha says a better blocking grade. Nonetheless, 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:16.640 is that for you? Is that the concern is, like, hey, 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.079 if the offensive line can at least be paying, we 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:20.400 stapp fly. I didn't think it was as bad as 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.960 advertising Detroit. There was some. It was just Browning couldn't 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.400 find that anyone open. It was it was like a 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.240 skulled dog or something. I don't know what. And Zach Taylor, 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.320 I think admitted as such as like, it's more mental. 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.040 He's just out of sorts. We've got to get somebody 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.280 else in here. If they can do an adequate job 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.200 in blocking, give it Joe Flacco time he can get 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.960 the ball down field. And you've got Jamar and you've 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.240 got t in maybe different game. Does it all come 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:42.640 down to that? 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.200 Well, offensive line is a major factor regardless of who's 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.880 back there. And I do think the facts while we 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.760 tend to assign them to the offensive line, it's a 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:58.600 quarterback stat as well. Tom Brady was less mobile than 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.240 Joe Flacco is and he did get sacked very often 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.920 because he got rid of the ball. Joe Flacco is 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:05.960 going to get rid of the ball. So a few 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.080 weeks ago when Cleveland faced Green Bay, the Browns have 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.840 had major issues on their offensive line as well this year, 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.640 he only got sacked twice. Why because he got rid 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.560 of the ball. So that's getting it out quickly, that's 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.080 throwing it to your checkdown quickly. That's throwing it out 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:25.240 of bounds from time to time to a boyd to sack. So, yes, 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.840 the offensive line has to continue to get better, and 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.080 I did think there was some improvement against Detroit last week. 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.880 But I also think that the sacks at least will 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.839 probably go down because Joe Flaco simply is not going 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:39.719 to take them. 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.360 At the same time, he was benched because of a 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.680 lack of mobility behind a poor offensive line. 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.159 Arguably really not true. 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.919 No, he was benched because the Cleveland Browns are rebuilding 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.200 and they drafted two quarterbacks this year and they wanted 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.599 to start playing one of the rookies. So I'm not 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.400 saying that Joe is playing all that effectively. Had they 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.800 had a great record in Cleveland, he probably would have 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:04.960 had a few more starts. But it wasn't because of 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.559 his mobility. It's because the Cleveland Browns are in total 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.880 rebuild mode and they've got Dylan Gabriel and they want 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:11.799 to see what they've got. 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.680 And you think it's Flaco would still be the quarterback 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:15.640 if the Bengals hadn't come call him. I mean, he 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.800 got the reason they put Dylan Gabriel edge. Yeah, what 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.680 I'm saying is they put Dylan. They put Dylan Gabriel 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.440 in for real because it was it Dylan Gabriel's time, 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:24.839 or just Flacco was inefficient. 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:27.440 Well, a little bit of both. 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.239 But you began floony by saying he was benched because 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:31.240 of his mobility. 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:32.880 That's not the case. 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.599 He was a combination of He wasn't playing very well 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.320 and they wanted to go with their rookie. So it 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:39.240 wasn't mobility. 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.239 Okay, it was fair. 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.120 Fact that they're turning to their rookie, Dylan Gabriel. 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.720 Flacco's all right, So we talked about the line issues 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.760 with them. The concern, obviously, is going to be Micah 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:55.160 Parsons and Rashan Gary. That is arguably that one of 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.000 the toughest to pass rushers, if not the best in 0:05:58.040 --> 0:05:59.839 the NFL. They're going to come fast, They're going to 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:01.760 come furious. I'm sure they're champion at the bit to 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.280 come up the Bengals. How do you scheme against those two? 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.760 Well, you know you're going to have to give extra 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:15.000 protection on Micah Parsons side, which is why Gary was 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.320 the happiest person in the world when Cleveland swung that trade. 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.640 You know, teams used to devote extra attention to blocking him. 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.560 Now it has to be devoted toward, you know, protecting 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:30.000 a quarterback against Michael Parsons. That allows for Shawn Gary 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.880 to eat. So it's a major challenge. The Bengals faced 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.320 Michael Parsons last year when he was with Dallas. Didn't 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.320 have a sack, didn't have a tackle. Bengals won the 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.880 game largely matched up in that game against the marius men, 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:45.520 So a lot of this is going to fall on 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.760 a marius Now. Looking at the Packers so far this year, 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.040 they've been moving Michaeh Parsons around quite a bit, so 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.560 I'm sure that there will be snaps where it's up 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.160 to Orlando Brown Junior to try to keep them away 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:00.000 from Joe Flacco. It's a major concern, There's no doubt 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.039 about that. That's why a lot of people think the 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.240 Green Bay is one of, you know, the five or 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.159 six top candidates to win the Super Bowl. 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.680 Defense, of course, has struggled in a few areas, a 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.880 number of areas up against the Packers. How does that 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:13.880 match up play out your mind? 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.480 I think they've got to stop the run first and foremost. 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.440 You know, the Packers traded last year for Josh Jacobs 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.760 and he had an awesome first year in a Green 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.360 Bay uniform. That's where their offense begins. Jordan loves a 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.640 really good quarterback as well, but to me, it begins 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.000 with Jacobs. He's a beast, two hundred and twenty three 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:35.600 pound guy, doesn't go down easily. The Bengals run defense 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.600 was pretty good last week, you know, considering how good 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.760 the Lions are in the running game. They forced five punts. 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:44.960 No team has forced Detroit to punt more this year. 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.720 They got one takeaway. They need some help from their offense. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.200 The offense has to stop giving the opponent short fields. 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.200 The offense has to stop having so many three and outs. 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.800 That keeps the defense out there forever. I think if 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:00.200 the offense were more efficient, we'd probably be saying, huh, 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.280 the defense is starting to look a little bit better. 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.200 Well, yeah, we always talk about it's the balance. It's 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.560 complimentary football. You can only overcome so much with a 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.760 good offense and a defense, and we saw that narrow. 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:12.440 Let's face it, Joe Burrow covered up a lot of 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.440 mistakes with this team, and as a hell of a 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.360 gap between Joe Burrow and Browning and Flacco for that matter, 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:20.520 at least this version of the forty year old Joe 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.000 Flacco at this point too. You keep him upright and 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:24.960 allow him to operate and give him time. I like 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.760 our chances with t Higgins and Jamar Chase out there. 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.640 I don't suspect this is going to be a shootout, 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.800 but at the same time, if you make it competitive, 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:35.560 I think that buys you a little bit more time 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.520 for Zach Tanner and company to figure things out. 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.640 I think that's true, and I think I'm also looking 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:47.000 at the next four weeks. So if Flacco looks decent 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.520 this week and even if the Bengals lose to Green Bay, 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:54.280 which is obviously a strong possibility, have a two touchdown underdog. 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.600 After that, you've got three straight home games Pittsburgh on 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.600 a Thursday night. Steelers have looked good so far, but 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.600 Thursday night home games are a big advantage. Then you've 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:08.079 got the Jets. Only when this team left, then you've 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.440 got the Bears. You know, the Bears have been better, 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:14.080 but I don't think anybody thinks they're great yet. So 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.480 if you lose this week and managed to win three 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.600 straight home games against the teams I just mentioned, you're 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:24.400 five and four, You've got Blacko, You're feeling better about 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.960 your offense. You know, you're right back in the thick 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.960 of things in an AFC in general and an AFC 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.840 North in particular that seems really unsettled right now. So 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.520 I'm kind of looking at this as a four week 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.640 deal and see if Flaco can stabilize things during this stretch. 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.280 Yeah, nine wins feels like that right around that number, 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.160 doesn't it like you could you could. 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:51.240 Be Yeah, I at this point, I'm really thinking I'd 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.319 be surprised if anybody in the division wins. Can now, 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.600 maybe the Steelers are going to prove us wrong. They 0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:00.240 are three and one, They've got Aaron Rodgers. Maybe they're 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.800 going to turn out to be better than we all thought. 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.600 I don't know, but I'm not sold yet. And obviously 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.719 Baltimore at one in four with a ton of injuries 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:13.640 including Lamar, who knows how many games they're ultimately going 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.640 to win. I don't think anybody is too concerned about Cleveland, 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.800 So yeah, I'm with you. I think nine wins, who knows, 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.160 maybe eight might do it. There have been years where, 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.079 you know, Division champions have been a game under five hundred. 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.440 That would not be the first time that ever happened. 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.120 Now, who's who the hell saw the Ravens collapse happen, 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.280 even outside of the injury to QB one. I mean, 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.640 that wasn't like they were playing great all that great football. 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.440 That's that's probably the biggest surprise in the AFC is 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:43.040 just how bad Baltimore went. 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.640 Baltimore this year is Cincinnati early last year. I think 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.800 they've given up thirty eight or more points in every 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.880 game but one. So, you know, the Lamar injuries last 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.199 week was obviously a huge factor, but their defense has 0:10:56.360 --> 0:11:00.600 just been atrocious and nobody saw that coming to this extent. 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.520 Now the whole league seems up for grabs with the 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.880 Eagles getting beat by the Giants. I mean, the Giants 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.160 look like a freaking deep playoff team today. You know, 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.560 now tomorrow, next week maybe a different story. But the 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:12.720 entire league, that's the greatness of it, though, as you know, 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.240 is a parody, right is You know, one team is 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:17.599 ranked number one one week and then they're down to 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.680 five after a close loss. But that's how close is 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.760 in the NFL. You've really got a chance here and 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.960 you can't write the Bengals off yet. We'll see what 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.120 Joe Flacco can do, and if you can get to 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.240 nine wins, you're right there, I think. And I don't 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.920 think he's signed Joe Flacco unless you think that Joe 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.760 Burrow is going to come back this season. I think, 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.400 do you think that's It's like, well, we hope to 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.920 get him back. It feels like when they made the move, like, yeah, 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.200 we got a strong indication he'll be back in December. 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.720 I don't know about that, but I do know that 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.600 Joe Burrow is determined to be back. I don't think 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:54.920 there's any real medical determination yet, but you're hopeful that 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:58.920 he'll be back, and he's determined to be back. Joe 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.719 Burrow is held on coming back and playing in December 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.400 if it matters. So I do agree that the front 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:09.080 office is trying to do everything they can to keep 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.840 this team in contention in case he can come back, 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.480 with the hope that he can can come back, knowing 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.120 that he is determined to come back. So Windows, you know, 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.440 you talked about the NFL in general, but really in 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:27.160 the AFC in particular, with the Chiefs under five hundred, 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:31.120 the Texans two time defending champ in their division under 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.920 five hundred, Baltimore at one in four, you know, the 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.839 Colts are four and one. Are we buying the Colts 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:39.679 as the best team in the AFC? 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:40.880 You know I'm not. 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:45.640 I mean kudos too, and you know Danny Dimes for 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.240 what they've done so far, but I still don't really 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:51.480 think of Indianapolis as a Super Bowl contender. So the 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.080 AFC is wide open. If he can just get into 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.960 the playoffs right and Burrow does come back, you got 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:57.280 a shot. 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.520 Here's the thing. Keep forty year old Joe Flacco alive 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.840 for six weeks, Roughly six weeks that's that's the key. 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:07.000 And he has to play well. 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.560 Of course, protecting him is going to be a key 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.880 to him playing well and hopefully getting a little bit 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.679 out of the running game as well. But if he 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.480 plays well like he did two years ago with Cleveland 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.440 when he came you know, off the couch and one 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.480 Comeback Player of the Year award for a five week stretch, 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.600 he threw for three hundred or more yards and four 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.400 straight games, the only quarterback in Cleveland Browns history to 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.520 ever do that after not being with the team basically 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.600 all year. He started playing at the you know, the 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:41.040 end of November. If he can do anything remotely close 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:42.800 to that, the Bengals have a shot. 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.920 Yeah. And I say that because you know, the the 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.160 aforementioned leaders, the FC North, the Pittsburgh Steelers that look 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:50.800 like the darling of the division right now, that could 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.080 change tomorrow. You also have a forty year old quarterback 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.600 there too, and we know that it's awfully tough playing 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.920 this man's game as a young man. As an old 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:02.400 man entirely different story, and certainly his career has been 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.920 plagued by injuries. As you get older, that does happen, 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.360 you hope for that against the division opponent. But you know, 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.440 you look at it and go, it's not like that. 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:15.520 They're They're doing a great job of protecting him in Pittsburgh. 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:19.440 Yeah, it's pretty amusing that with forty year old Joe Flacco, 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.200 the Bengals don't have the oldest quarterback. 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:23.360 In the Aaron Rodgers. 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.160 Rodgers is actually older than he is. 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.200 How about this, It's like Joe comes back, something happens 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:32.080 to Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco in December goes to 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.000 the Steelers and now he's played for every team of 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:34.520 the division. 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:46.760 Yeah, but nobody saw the possibility, at least of Joe 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.800 Flacco beating Green Bay twice in a three week span 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.160 with two different teams. That's never happened in NFL history. 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:57.200 Apparently Jack Kemp back in the day beat the same 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:01.200 team starting for two different and teams during the course 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:01.800 of the season. 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.800 But it didn't happen in such a short span. 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:04.760 That's incredible. 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.560 It would be incredible if Placo and the Bengals pull 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:07.800 it off. 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:09.480 Well, it's going to give us a reason to listen, 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:13.280 that's for sure. Before right, Darren Wright, I'm actually excited. 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:14.720 I was like, God, what am I going to do 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.120 on Sunday, and I was like, I got to get 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.080 the popcorn and watch this game to see what happens 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.840 with Joe Flacco. Real quick here, Dan, before you go 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.240 before the Bengals game. Of course tomorrow, you're gonna call, 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.160 hopefully the fifth straight win for the uc Bearcats. Got 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.360 UCF and Town and talk about quarterback controversies. 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:34.280 Yeah, not for controversy reasons, but for injury reasons. Yes, 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.160 they've had three starting quarterbacks this year that have been 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:41.200 injured at various points. The guy that started last week 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.200 at his Arminius sling in the second half, they list 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.240 and is questionable. I would be surprised if he plays. 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.320 The person that finished the game for UCF last week, 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.840 started their season opener, hurts back in that game on 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:59.040 a targeting penalty, but he did come back and play 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.480 last week. I think he's healthy. One of the three 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.200 guys that has started appears to be healthy, So he'll 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.520 be the guy that starts after that. I have no 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:09.400 idea what they would do if you gets hurt. 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.760 It was so fun watching last week's game and you 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.520 see nothing. Is there anything cooler than the student section 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.160 rushing the field after win there's nothing cooler in college sports. 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.240 I'm a big fan of the field storming. 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:25.520 You know, it causes your school to be fined, typically 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:29.560 because leagues try to prevent that from happening for safety reasons, 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:33.680 but schools typically happily pay that fine, thinking, you know, 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.840 that means really good things for our team if our 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:39.320 fans want to do that. So we'll cough up the 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.320 dough and hope we have to do it again. 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.400 Now, like Iowa stated, and fight in this one, because 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:44.720 for a minute was like, man, they're going to blow 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.320 these guys out, and they came back in thirty to thirty. 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.400 The final you see rises number twenty six in the country. 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:51.280 Should they have been higher? 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.920 You know, honestly, I don't really care. I think if 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:00.840 they win this week, they'll pop into the top twenty five. 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:04.560 If they win their next two, they would definitely pop 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:05.720 into the top twenty five. 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:09.080 And next week's game is a road game against Oklahoma State, 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.040 a team that's already fired its coach, So you know, 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.480 there's a really good opportunity to win two more in 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.400 a row with tomorrow's game being at home, and if 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:18.400 that happens. 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.320 They would definitely be a top twenty five team. 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.080 Now, they are fun to watch. They're absolutely fun to watch. 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.600 And you know, you talk about Brendon s Sooresby and 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:27.200 how fun that is, but i mean, let's face that 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:30.040 defense is getting after what back their quarterback. I think 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.280 what three or four sacks in that game last Saturday, 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:36.280 and Soresby's jersey's completely clean, and you give them time 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.000 give that. It really is an exciting product. And I'm 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:42.320 glad people are shown up at Nipper to watch the Bearcats. 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:43.080 Me too. 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:47.120 And I'm glad you mentioned the offensive line because we 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.879 have been very critical of the Bengals offensive line in 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:53.040 recent years, and deservedly though they have not performed as 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.919 well as they've needed to perform. But you see, on 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.920 the other hand, their offensive line has been amazing. They've 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.679 given up one sack all year, tied for first in 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.800 the country. And one of the teams that they're tied 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:06.159 with his Navy, a team that never passes, so that 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:10.919 shouldn't count. They're running backs, they're three or four yards 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:14.520 downfield before they get touched, yeah, on many of their runs. 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:18.479 So this offensive line has just been tremendous so far 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:18.879 in this year. 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.359 A lot of arrows directed rightly so at Sadderfield, and 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.640 that looks he's got them playing at a top level 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:25.159 right now. And it's fun to watch Dan hord with 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.119 a call tomorrow from Nippert Stadium of the Bearcats. And 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.600 then Sunday it's at Green Bay. Gets on the plane, 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:32.760 goes to Green Bay, one of the coolest places to 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.080 watch a football game in the country, and we'll have 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:36.480 the call for a four to twenty five with he 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:37.960 and a lap here on the home of the best 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.600 Bengals coverage. Dan all the best, Buddy, Thanks again for jumping. 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.919 I appreciate it, my pleasure, selone, thanks for having me on. 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:46.280 Take care, sir. Let's get a news update in and 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.879 one return on the show on seven hundred WLW. We 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.160 got some movies and streaming to catch up on. We'll 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.760 do that just ahead, including a John Candy bio pick 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.239 or maybe it's a series. I'm not sure anyway, if 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.600 you're a fan of the late comedian John Candy, just ahead, 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:05.240 seven hundred. Why Mike and Morner, how are you, buddy doing? 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:05.640 Rold good? 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:05.960 How are you? 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:09.400 I'm doing fine? Mike. Is Mike Debuski from ABC News 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.600 in New York breaking down movies this week. John Candy 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:15.200 as a documentary. I saw the tease for it on 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.000 Amazon Prime, but I was really sure, I don't know 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:18.040 what to make of this whole thing. 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:22.280 Yeah, So this is a new documentary looking back on 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.800 the life of the late comedian John Candy, a guy 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:28.160 we probably all have some sort of relationship with, whether 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.119 you know, I'm from Home Alone at the very end 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:34.160 of that movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Stripes Flash. 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:36.720 He was in a ton of movies. 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.960 Stretching from the nineteen seventies all the way up to 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:42.400 the nineteen nineties. He unfortunately passed away from a heart 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:46.280 attack in nineteen ninety four. This new documentary all started 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.600 because of Ryan Reynolds, if you can believe it, a 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:51.920 fellow Canadian comedian who a few years ago put together 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:55.520 sort of a highlight reel of John Candy's career, looking 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.159 back on his life, and he posted that video online 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.240 and it went super viral. People really respond on it 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:03.119 to it, seeming to indicate that there was an appetite 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:06.280 for this type of thing. Ryan Reynolds approached to Colin Hanks, 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.840 the son of Tom Hanks, who directed this documentary, and 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:13.120 the family of John Candy, including his two children and 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:16.840 his late wife, all of whom participated in this documentary 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:20.160 looking back through their own old home movies, looking back 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:23.439 through interviews with John Candy that kind of pieced together 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:27.480 this story of a guy who really did not expect 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:30.440 to be a comedian. He actually was, you know, looking 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:32.760 to either go into the military as a young man 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:36.080 or maybe become a professional football player, but found himself 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:39.040 to be a very talented comedian, starting off with the 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:43.040 sort of false comedy sketch comedy show SDTV sort of 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:45.919 known as like the anti SNL for a little while, 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:50.280 and then moving into movies like Stripes and like Splash, 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:54.040 as we said, Uncle Buck Home Alone, Like these are 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:58.280 you know, classic films that John Candy really did change 0:20:58.359 --> 0:20:58.960 for the better. 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:01.960 Right he was known as being this very generous performer. 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:04.600 I actually had a chance to talk to excuse he 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:06.840 had a chance to talk to John Candy's two children, 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:11.080 who were just kids when they when their dad passed 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:13.199 away in nineteen ninety four, and they said that the 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:16.119 experience of putting this documentary together, of piecing through all 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:18.720 this old footage of him really did make them feel 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:21.879 like detectives in their own father's life. That's the words 0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:24.719 that they use, and it really does show up on screen. 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:28.119 It's a really moving documentary. I have to say it's 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:30.439 worth your time if you like John Candy or if 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:32.280 you're just interested in the history of comedy. 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.520 He seemed like a really, really good guy both on 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:36.640 screen and off. 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.840 Yeah, generosity is a word that he's coming up in 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:43.880 interviews in this documentary. You hear from a lot of 0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:47.280 big time comedians first and foremost, hear from Bill Murray, 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:52.160 mel Brooks, Katherine O'Hara, Conan O'Brien, Martin Short like, there's 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:54.639 a ton of people that they got together for this documentary, 0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:56.760 and they all said that John Candy was such a 0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.479 great scene partner because he was always giving you something 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:02.639 to work as an actor. As a performer, he was 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:04.960 never trying to win the scene. He understood that it 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:07.680 was a collaborative process. And I think that really does 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:11.120 speak to John Candy's whole oubra right, His whole sort 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.439 of mood was to be generous, to make sure that 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:15.720 not just the performers were taken care of, but the 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:18.560 cast and crew as well. In addition to making time 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:21.880 for his family and the stresses of that did take 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:25.359 a toll on him. John Candy was a heavier guy, 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:29.320 and Hollywood put pressure on this man, according to this documentary, 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:32.359 to a a little overweight so that they could poke 0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:35.080 fun at him. Some of these older interviews with John 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:37.880 Candy as well are kind of uncomfortable to sit through 0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:40.600 because he can tell the interviewers trying to get a 0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.040 joke out of, you know, his weight, when you know 0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:46.359 John Candy himself is not very comfortable with that, and 0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:49.639 that tension also does sort of run through this entire 0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:53.320 documentary where you know he did feel stressed by that. 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:55.840 He never let it, you know, derail. 0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:58.480 His career necessarily, but that did, you know, take a 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:00.280 toll on him, you know, over the cour or's it 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:00.800 been years. 0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:04.280 I'm gonna go top three, I'm gonna go Uncle Buck Stripes. 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:08.280 And then kind of like back of the Room Canadian Bacon, 0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:10.760 which is a movie about with John Candy I think 0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:13.560 played the mayor and it's about the president of the 0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:16.359 United States needs a controversies who gin's up basically a 0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:19.800 war against Canada, and. 0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:22.560 The Canadian part of this runs through this so big 0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:25.000 way I have to say, Yeah, I gotta say I 0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:27.320 think we should shout out playing Strains and Automobile. 0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:28.200 Oh yeah, you know. 0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:31.880 Baseballs is another great one and something that people forget 0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:34.440 that John Candy was in was one of Steven Spielberg's 0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:37.920 first movies nineteen forty one at War drama of all things. 0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:40.040 But yeah, he really did have a pretty varied career. 0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:42.000 I also just love him in Home Alone. I think 0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:44.680 the last one in the last speak was freely with 0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:47.560 him and the Catherine O'Hara in Home Alone, and he's. 0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:48.800 The polka singer, like. 0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:54.200 Classic John Dannity stuff where it's really funny but it's also. 0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:56.520 Really heart selt and warm. Yeah, he never comes over 0:23:56.520 --> 0:23:58.520 and like steals the whole movie. Kind of guy. But 0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:01.320 at the same time, like if he like, I think 0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:04.119 the best cameo sort of cam something would be Vacation 0:24:04.240 --> 0:24:06.240 with Chevy Chase. I mean he came in as a 0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:07.800 security guard and just owned it. 0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:12.359 Yeah, And and that was actually the documentary gets into this. 0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:14.560 They were kind of just looking for a guy, and 0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:15.520 John Candy was a. 0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:17.880 Round It's even so it's sort of. 0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:20.199 Happenstance that he fell into that role. But yeah, the 0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:23.600 end of Vacation is a great example of that. Playing that, like, 0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:26.239 you know, a character that he says was inspired by 0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:28.040 one of the characters he played on SCTV. 0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:30.200 Uh, you know, in this in this. 0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:33.000 New role that was kind of update guy, but like 0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:35.119 that force to deal with the you know, obviously the 0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:36.639 craziness of Chevy Chase. 0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:41.040 So it's it's good. Used to love s c TV 0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:43.000 because that's where I grew up in Western New York 0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:44.800 and so you know, you get the Canadian stations and 0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:47.440 that was like before us and l there was that 0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:49.360 that was on se TV is like on Friday nights, 0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:51.040 I think or something like that, and so you'd watch 0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:53.480 that and the Mackenzie Brothers and but but so many 0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:56.960 people came out of Second City, Chicago and then to Toronto. 0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:00.199 You know, it's you know, dan Aykroyd's in there on 0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:02.040 Candies in there, and you just go on and on 0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:04.080 with all these great names and people, you know, Geene Levy, 0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:06.840 et cetera, Catherine O'Hara, and then they all come back 0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:08.680 together and you go, oh, yeah, I remember them when 0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:11.159 and of course now they're older now. So anyway, is 0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:13.520 it one or three or five? And how well? Is 0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:15.919 it a series? Mike, No, it's a. 0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:16.440 One and done. 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:18.800 It's okay, about a two hours so maybe like hour 0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:22.040 forty five documentary on Amazon Prime Video. 0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:24.600 Yeah, I'd watch that all right theaters. Let's pivot from 0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:27.000 the small screen to the big The new Tron movie 0:25:27.040 --> 0:25:29.240 is out right now, and I know that Nine Inch Nails. 0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:31.679 I'm not a huge Nine Inch Nails fan, but I 0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:34.320 do like some of their songs, so that kind of 0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:36.680 intrigued me. And I saw that Jeff Bridges back, right, 0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:38.560 jeth Bridges is back. 0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:41.040 This is the third Tron movie and Jeff Bridges is 0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:43.080 in all of them. So this is a classic sort 0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:46.520 of sci fi franchise. All got started about forty three 0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:50.399 years ago in the early nineteen eighties with this story 0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:53.080 of Jeff Bridges with a computer programmer who got sucked 0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:56.040 into a computer game, and that computer game with brawn 0:25:56.119 --> 0:25:59.280 of course, with big neon lights and at this point 0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:03.560 now visuals, but even still it was a really you know, 0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:07.080 impactful movie in the history of sci fi cinema. They 0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:09.800 follow that up in twenty ten with Tron Legacy, that, 0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:13.439 of course, you know, also starred Jeff Bridges, and you know, 0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:16.280 had this really cool daft punk soundtrack that a lot 0:26:16.280 --> 0:26:19.280 of people still listen to now We're back with Tron Aris. 0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:22.560 This stars Jared Leto and Greta Lee alongside the returning 0:26:22.640 --> 0:26:23.280 Jeff Bridges. 0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:25.920 As you said, it is scored by Nine Inch Nails. 0:26:25.960 --> 0:26:29.320 So they didn't get that punk back that punk broke up, unfortunately, 0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:32.159 but they did get a similar sort of like electronic 0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:34.680 kind of vibe back. And that is one of the 0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:37.439 big draws of these Tron movies. They have these killer soundtracks, 0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:43.159 these really distinctive visuals. However, they're never quite reviewed positively 0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:45.280 in terms of the stories, and I think that is 0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:47.080 holding true with this new one. I'm looking at the 0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:49.800 New York Times review right now, which is titled who 0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:52.600 needs logic when you have Neon? And then of course 0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:55.840 the rap also says skip the hack sequel, just download 0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:56.360 this down track. 0:26:57.520 --> 0:27:00.880 I remember seeing parts of Tron becase because back then 0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:03.760 was when we first got a pay cable like HBO, 0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:06.200 and there were four movies and they'd run them all 0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:08.840 like all the time. You'd seen the same four movies 0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:10.280 over and over, and one of them would be Tron 0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:12.520 And I remember, even as a kid watching it, going 0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:15.920 it's pretty cheesy. 0:27:16.480 --> 0:27:18.679 Yeah, even in period, I remember I had a Tron 0:27:18.800 --> 0:27:20.520 video game back in the day, and that's how I 0:27:20.600 --> 0:27:23.119 learned about Tron. I was like everybody was saying, it's like, oh, 0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:25.080 Tron Legacy's coming up. They made a movie based on 0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:29.879 video games. No, no, no other way around. So is it 0:27:30.240 --> 0:27:32.119 is it any good? I mean, what what's the reviews like? 0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:36.200 Not not super positive, it seems like, but as we said, 0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:37.920 that's always been the case with Tron movie. 0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:40.359 You know a little bit of style over substance, but 0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:42.880 that's not always a bad thing. It's a weird beats right, 0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:45.800 because it's it's not it's sci fi, but it's kind 0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:48.959 of like not good. It's not like Star Trek Star Wars, 0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:52.040 where there's a huge passion like core Tron, people aren't 0:27:52.080 --> 0:27:54.720 that big, and it's just it just kind of like 0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:56.280 falls between the cracks. I think the best way to 0:27:56.280 --> 0:27:56.679 describe the. 0:27:56.680 --> 0:28:02.359 Franchise definitely, Yeah, it's got fans, but it's a passionate, 0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:05.879 small fan base. I would say it's definitely not a 0:28:05.880 --> 0:28:08.440 Star Wars or a Star Trek in that regard. But again, 0:28:08.600 --> 0:28:10.800 I mean, if you're a fan of big sci fi spectacle, 0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:12.960 this definitely does seem like it will do the trick 0:28:13.240 --> 0:28:15.879 instead of people being sucked into computers, this is computer 0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:19.000 programs that have become self aware, spilling out into our 0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:20.520 real world and wreaking. 0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:20.960 All sorts of pathoch. 0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:24.000 It seems like the classic Tron light cycles as well, 0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:26.199 which I'm a fan of the motorcycles that put up 0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:27.520 the giant digital Worm. 0:28:27.920 --> 0:28:30.440 They make a reappearance here, so that is kind of 0:28:30.480 --> 0:28:31.280 an exciting all right. 0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:33.040 One of our not to the old Ron films. 0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:35.240 One of our entertainment gurus, Mike Tbiski from New York 0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:38.480 on the show on seven hundred WLW and years ago 0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:41.040 when the Borat movie first came out and a huge 0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:43.080 fan of Sasha Baron Cones stuff that kind of stuff, 0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:45.440 and I went to the theater to watch it, and 0:28:45.560 --> 0:28:48.280 I was pleasantly amused because there are people showing up, 0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:50.520 older people who elderly people show up to watch it 0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:53.040 think it was actually a documentary about a country that 0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:55.920 doesn't exist, and they were leaving literally in the first 0:28:55.920 --> 0:28:58.160 five ten minutes of movies completely pissed off because they 0:28:58.160 --> 0:29:01.440 thought it was a real documentary, which I found outstanding 0:29:02.680 --> 0:29:06.360 agid prop. And so now fast forward to if you 0:29:06.480 --> 0:29:08.920 go to see Kiss a Spider Woman, expecting to be 0:29:09.000 --> 0:29:13.360 a Marvel franchise kind of. It's not right. Oh no, 0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:16.800 not ry aalogue stretch. Somebody's going, wait a minute, I 0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:18.800 thought there was a Spider Woman. What the hell? 0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:23.280 Yeah, not a reference to Spider Man, No, Ki Spider Woman. 0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:27.840 It is a musical starring Jennifer Lopez and is based 0:29:27.880 --> 0:29:30.440 on a book which was then turned into a musical 0:29:30.480 --> 0:29:33.720 in the nineteen eighties with a stage and a film musical. 0:29:33.960 --> 0:29:36.560 Now they're remaking it with Jennifer Lopez sort of in 0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:40.200 the starring role. She plays three different characters in this movie, 0:29:40.440 --> 0:29:43.200 but it's really set in the early nineteen eighties in 0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:46.440 Argentina and sort of the waning days of an authoritarian 0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:50.560 government there. And what they get into in this story 0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:53.840 is the story of two political prisoners, effectively, one of 0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:56.880 whom is telling the story of this classic Hollywood movie 0:29:56.920 --> 0:29:59.240 to the other one basically as a way to entertain 0:29:59.280 --> 0:30:02.760 themselves while they're in prison. And as this person is 0:30:02.800 --> 0:30:06.440 telling this story, you the viewer, find yourself transported to 0:30:06.480 --> 0:30:08.880 the world of the musical film. So it goes from 0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:13.560 the gray, brown, drab prison to this very technicolor kind 0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:18.360 of expressive musical world with again Jennifer Lopez kind of 0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:22.040 in the starring Hollywood role. There also starts Diego Luno, 0:30:22.080 --> 0:30:24.600 who star Wars fans might recognize as Cassie and and 0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:26.640 Or from the and Or TV series, also from the 0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:30.080 Rogue One movie. He's in this and also a relative newcomer, 0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:33.160 Tona Tua just goes by one name in this film, 0:30:33.240 --> 0:30:35.040 and this person that really is a standout. I got 0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:36.520 a chance to see this movie a little bit early, 0:30:36.600 --> 0:30:40.120 and I walked away very impressed. You know, it sounds 0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:42.120 like it's kind of a hodgepodge of a lot of 0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:42.840 different things. 0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:44.200 It deals with a lot. 0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:48.240 Of different things, from sort of political storylines to sexuality storylines, 0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:51.600 storylines about love and death and all these other sorts 0:30:51.600 --> 0:30:54.320 of things. I gotta say it lands. I think it 0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:56.840 really really works with the caveat that I understand that 0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:59.440 musicals are not for everyone. I am partial to musicals, 0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:03.120 that is, you know, the sort of disclaimer that I'll give. 0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:05.800 But even still, it is a good time at the movies. 0:31:05.840 --> 0:31:08.000 Tron is expected to be the big winner at the 0:31:08.000 --> 0:31:10.400 box office this weekend. This is going to be kind 0:31:10.400 --> 0:31:12.440 of a lesser player, it seems, at least in terms 0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:15.280 of box office straw, but I walked away really impressed. 0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:17.560 If you're into musicals, if you like j Love. 0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:19.760 Maybe even if you like Cassie and or from Star Wars, 0:31:19.800 --> 0:31:20.680 maybe check this one. 0:31:20.520 --> 0:31:22.520 Out, all right? Yeah, and Kalloe is going to crush 0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:24.560 it no matter what she does. If she's singing on 0:31:24.600 --> 0:31:27.040 a microphone, you're good. Even without a microphone, she's pretty good. 0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:29.719 So this is like the little hall a lull And 0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:31.840 in a few weeks we'll probably fire up the holiday 0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:33.720 season and get ready for that. So Mike Debiskie in 0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:37.480 New York at ABC at the Michael Lebuski is his handle. 0:31:37.640 --> 0:31:39.920 Thanks again, buddy, appreciate you checking on this Friday morning. 0:31:39.920 --> 0:31:42.360 Have a great one, have a good one. Take care 0:31:42.640 --> 0:31:45.080 all right. So in between watching sports and maybe getting 0:31:45.080 --> 0:31:47.640 outside and seeing that big bright orbit in the Scot's 0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:51.000 gonna beautiful weekend weatherwise, for sure, get out and enjoy 0:31:51.040 --> 0:31:52.320 it because we're not going to have many more of 0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:55.760 these days left sloany seven hundred ww. Weather can't be 0:31:55.760 --> 0:31:58.320 any more perfect for real, You get outside and do 0:31:58.400 --> 0:32:01.680 some stuff this weekend seven hundred w welw getting you 0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:04.440 there on this Friday morning with news happening in just 0:32:04.520 --> 0:32:07.800 about three minutes when we return, it's Representative Greg Landsman. 0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:09.880 We'll check out on the show. What the hell is 0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:12.520 he doing. I'm gonna ask him if he's willing to 0:32:12.960 --> 0:32:15.160 as a member of Congress and Congress not doing anything 0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:17.520 with the shutdown. You should go around at least I 0:32:17.520 --> 0:32:19.720 don't know. It's two early shovel driveways. How about go 0:32:19.760 --> 0:32:24.640 cut some lawns? First ten callers at five point three 0:32:24.760 --> 0:32:29.120 seven more give us your addressing Greg Landsman or you're representative, 0:32:29.280 --> 0:32:32.240 roll up of sleeves and you know'll cut your grass. 0:32:32.240 --> 0:32:34.560 God damn it. Doing something. Actually, I believe he's given 0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:36.640 his money back, so he's not taking a paycheck. But 0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:40.000 I said, you went in. The shutdown is take away 0:32:40.040 --> 0:32:42.840 their healthcare benefits and their paycheck, and I would think 0:32:42.880 --> 0:32:46.000 you'd probably not have a shutdown. But that's what we'll 0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:48.520 be talking about. To some degree. Of course, what's happening 0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:50.640 in Gaza right now? How close are we to peace? 0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:52.760 A lot of people say, very very close. Looks like 0:32:52.800 --> 0:32:54.760 it's a done deal. Maybe the President heads there this 0:32:54.800 --> 0:32:58.840 weekend off the Egypt and cut her and they're involved 0:32:59.080 --> 0:33:01.400 and signing this this deal. The deal has been struck 0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:03.320 we're going to have a cease fire. Question is how 0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:05.160 long it lasts. We'll get into that, and of course 0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:11.200 the shutdown related stuff. And an observation here is, you know, okay, 0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:13.520 one side blames the other. We've seen this blame game 0:33:13.560 --> 0:33:16.040 go on. Is that Democrats there the ones who force 0:33:16.080 --> 0:33:18.440 the government shut down because it's the only way to 0:33:18.480 --> 0:33:20.760 get negotiations with the little power they hold. And the 0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:24.360 reason why they picked healthcare is because it's it's of 0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:27.240 the I think three issues ones women's rights in the environment, 0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:28.840 and the other being healthcare. It's the one that most 0:33:28.840 --> 0:33:32.400 people respond to. And of course, with the subsidies expiring 0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:35.120 are set to expire here. Now, hey, it's one of 0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:37.880 the few things that we're beating Trump on, which would 0:33:37.880 --> 0:33:42.040 be healthcare. So let's take that issue that people trust 0:33:42.120 --> 0:33:45.600 us on and use that to maybe build some momentum here. 0:33:45.640 --> 0:33:45.720 Now. 0:33:45.720 --> 0:33:47.800 I don't know what kind of momentum it is right now, 0:33:47.840 --> 0:33:49.440 because they don't have one as far as a party 0:33:49.480 --> 0:33:51.640 goes and where it's headed and what's happening. If you 0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:53.040 think there are things are a little screwed up with 0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:56.680 the Republicans, they're a lot more screwed up with the Democrats, 0:33:57.440 --> 0:33:59.880 and the end result is government is shut down because 0:33:59.880 --> 0:34:02.240 of that. But I think you also have to look 0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:04.960 at it and go, how did this whole thing happen 0:34:05.240 --> 0:34:10.600 to begin with? Well, Democrats rolled Obamacare subsidies, the extensions 0:34:10.600 --> 0:34:13.160 of Obamacare for ACA, right into the American Rescue Plan. 0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:15.080 I'll get into this with Greg. So we had the 0:34:15.080 --> 0:34:17.000 American Rescue Plan. What's the America? It was COVID. We 0:34:17.040 --> 0:34:21.040 had COVID stuff, okay, and you kept trying to drag 0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:23.920 COVID on much much longer than necessary. We got to 0:34:24.000 --> 0:34:26.560 keep We got COVID relief COVID that first year a 0:34:26.600 --> 0:34:29.200 couple of years ago. Absolutely, we're shut down. We didn't 0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:31.239 know what we're doing. Once you start to get to 0:34:31.320 --> 0:34:33.560 year five, you can't really go back, Well it's COVID 0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:35.839 like no. And then they went, well, we can't use 0:34:35.880 --> 0:34:39.719 COVID anymore. We'll make up the Inflation Reduction Act. And 0:34:40.000 --> 0:34:42.680 the problem is all of the stuff in Inflation Reduction Act, 0:34:42.760 --> 0:34:46.720 Rescue Plan, Obamacare, all of it was passed by executive FIAT, 0:34:46.960 --> 0:34:49.960 by the pen of Joe Biden, by BARACKO. But there's 0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:51.680 not a vote on this stuff, right, So the end 0:34:51.680 --> 0:34:54.800 result is we have a government that now a Congress, 0:34:54.800 --> 0:34:58.400 it doesn't do anything because we've completely given that authority 0:34:58.400 --> 0:35:02.040 to the president. And again we saw what Biden did, 0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:04.759 and when Donald Trump got elected, he said, Okay, we'll 0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:06.640 hold my beer because here we go. You want to 0:35:06.640 --> 0:35:10.640 see some executive orders, watch this. We've had a flurry 0:35:10.640 --> 0:35:13.440 of them, and again that's you don't need Congress. If 0:35:13.440 --> 0:35:15.840 the executive branch you can sign everything away. That's not 0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:18.200 how the constitution works. But we allowed them to get 0:35:18.200 --> 0:35:20.400 away with it. We'll talk more with Greg Lansman afternoons 0:35:20.640 --> 0:35:23.280 on the Home of the Best Bengals coverage seven hundred WW. 0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:25.600 Since then, do you want to be an American? 0:35:26.920 --> 0:35:30.080 Got flown? Friday morning, seven hundred WLW. We're nearing the 0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:33.600 end of our second full week of shutdown theater. Republicans 0:35:33.600 --> 0:35:36.000 are screaming at Democrats that they're forcing a shut down 0:35:36.040 --> 0:35:39.640 to score political points. Democrats are screaming at Republicans saying 0:35:39.640 --> 0:35:41.960 they just don't want to sit down and negotiate, and 0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:45.360 of course, a shutdown because Republicans Democrats can't agree to 0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:48.320 pass a funding bill. Republicans still need them to support 0:35:48.360 --> 0:35:51.040 any resolution to spend and they're holding them hostage result 0:35:51.080 --> 0:35:54.040 that we have this shutdown. So Greg Lansman is here, 0:35:54.040 --> 0:35:57.640 our representative, and what are we paying you for? Exactly? Landsman? 0:35:57.760 --> 0:35:58.920 Right now, you're not doing anything. 0:35:58.960 --> 0:36:02.759 What I mean, I'm trying. I'm negotia. We're trying to 0:36:02.760 --> 0:36:05.520 negotiate with the folks. Uh. You know, I'm in the 0:36:05.600 --> 0:36:09.680 Problem Solvers Caucus. So there's a bunch of Democrats Republicans 0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:11.960 they're working through. At the sticking point is this healthcare 0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:17.239 question and and and these affortable care access These are 0:36:17.280 --> 0:36:20.040 set to expire at the end of the year and 0:36:20.160 --> 0:36:23.480 open enrollment starts in a few weeks. And you know, 0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:26.520 there are those of us who want a resolution to 0:36:26.680 --> 0:36:32.360 this now so that those extensions happen, and others who say, 0:36:32.520 --> 0:36:35.640 you know, reopen the government and then we'll talk about healthcare. 0:36:36.520 --> 0:36:39.759 But you know that that that's the crux of this 0:36:40.000 --> 0:36:42.760 is trying to get a deal done where we reopen 0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:45.239 the government and protect people's health care. 0:36:46.440 --> 0:36:48.640 Yeah. And I think for well a lot of us 0:36:48.719 --> 0:36:51.799 anyway who are not political kool aid drinkers and look 0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:53.200 at and just throw our hands up and go, I 0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:55.800 just you know one point that we're pointing. It's almost stupid. 0:36:55.840 --> 0:36:59.200 You're both wearing the same T shirt and that's essentially 0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:01.959 what this is. And we know how we are. Okay, 0:37:01.960 --> 0:37:04.479 So Democrats, you guys, you forced a government shutdown because 0:37:04.480 --> 0:37:06.959 it's the only way to bring about the negotiations because 0:37:07.000 --> 0:37:08.840 you don't hold any jukes, you don't have the power. 0:37:08.960 --> 0:37:12.440 So you know, I look at that and go, can 0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:14.439 we extend it? Well, I mean, it's going to cost 0:37:14.520 --> 0:37:16.840 us like a trillion and a half dollars over the 0:37:16.880 --> 0:37:18.960 next seven weeks to just simply kick the can down 0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:21.240 the wrong and go, okay, we'll pass another continuing resolution. 0:37:21.280 --> 0:37:24.440 And that's the frustrating part all of this, all these theatrics, Greg, 0:37:24.480 --> 0:37:27.760 It's just it's continuing to add to our thirty seven 0:37:27.880 --> 0:37:31.080 trillion dollar national debt, and neither side's talking about that. 0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:36.719 I mean, I think that's that's right, And the deficit 0:37:36.880 --> 0:37:40.480 is a huge part of this too, right, So I 0:37:40.920 --> 0:37:44.040 do take exception with the sort of you know, the 0:37:44.080 --> 0:37:47.680 forcing of the shutdown. I mean, the challenge wise, you know, 0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:51.440 Republicans knew they needed Democratic votes to pass a budget, 0:37:52.320 --> 0:37:56.719 and they were told by Trump not to negotiate. Now, 0:37:56.800 --> 0:38:01.919 in previous years, there has been by Parson negotiation since 0:38:01.920 --> 0:38:05.799 I produced it by parson budget or continuing resolution. They 0:38:05.840 --> 0:38:08.680 did not do that, and that that's what forced the 0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:11.080 shut down. That would be my argument. That's the way 0:38:11.280 --> 0:38:13.600 it played out, in the way I thought it was. 0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:17.360 It would have been super easy to sit down and negotiate, 0:38:17.480 --> 0:38:20.680 and had their enough been told, don't negotiate, I think 0:38:20.680 --> 0:38:24.080 they would have. But the deficit is a huge, huge 0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:29.400 piece of this fight too, because remember this all started 0:38:29.560 --> 0:38:33.520 the mess, you know, several months ago, with the this 0:38:33.520 --> 0:38:37.200 this massive spending and tax bill that added you know, 0:38:37.600 --> 0:38:40.480 trillions of dollars to the deficit, and then and then 0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:43.279 cut healthcare by over trillion dollars, all to pay for 0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:46.719 these tax cuts, tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit folks at 0:38:46.760 --> 0:38:49.919 the top. Now, had they not done that, we would 0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:52.640 not be in this mess, and we would not have 0:38:52.719 --> 0:38:57.000 added trillions of dollars to the deficit. But I'm I'm 0:38:57.040 --> 0:39:00.319 a firm believer that none of that matters, No one 0:39:00.360 --> 0:39:02.560 really cares. You just have to get in a room 0:39:03.120 --> 0:39:06.799 and sort it out, and in this case, reopened the 0:39:06.840 --> 0:39:13.040 government while also protecting healthcare. Just because this is relevant 0:39:13.120 --> 0:39:17.440 to my job as a member I represent you know, 0:39:17.719 --> 0:39:22.280 eight hundred thousand constituents in our districts. In southwest Ohio, 0:39:22.800 --> 0:39:26.480 thirty two thousand people are going to see their healthcare 0:39:26.600 --> 0:39:30.480 bemum skyrocket if we don't do something now, and fourteen 0:39:30.600 --> 0:39:34.840 thousand folks here will lose their healthcare altogether. I can't 0:39:35.200 --> 0:39:37.160 I can't just punt on that, you know what I mean. 0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:38.720 I've got to get that result. 0:39:38.800 --> 0:39:40.960 I got to go and I get the short term 0:39:41.000 --> 0:39:44.840 necessity for this, Greg Lansman. So the fact is, so 0:39:44.920 --> 0:39:48.440 the substantes expire, and the premiums for those in the 0:39:48.480 --> 0:39:51.440 Affordable Care Act, the marketplace right would more than double 0:39:51.480 --> 0:39:53.120 on it goes up for like I think I saw 0:39:53.200 --> 0:39:56.480 eight hundred and almost nine hundred dollars to nineteen hundred 0:39:56.480 --> 0:39:58.680 dollars a year for individuals. It's like one hundred plus 0:39:58.760 --> 0:40:01.480 percent increase. Bad at math, forgive me. But that's a 0:40:01.520 --> 0:40:03.319 hell of a lot of money, right, So, and that's 0:40:03.360 --> 0:40:05.680 going to hit tens of thousands of people in the district. 0:40:06.680 --> 0:40:08.239 And I look at that, go, Okay, that's real money. 0:40:08.280 --> 0:40:10.080 It's going to affect real people, and that is a 0:40:10.560 --> 0:40:14.200 that's a huge problem. And I guess the thing is 0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:16.920 the fact that that why isn't anyone just talking about 0:40:17.080 --> 0:40:20.600 how we're just extending more subsidies, like it's not really affordable. 0:40:20.680 --> 0:40:23.680 We're just taking money from a different pile and moving 0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:26.080 it to this pile to help people out. When you 0:40:26.120 --> 0:40:28.200 look at it, you go, wow, why does it cost 0:40:28.239 --> 0:40:30.479 so much for healthcare in this country? Why why aren't 0:40:30.480 --> 0:40:33.120 we addressing that issue rather than saying, hey, we can't 0:40:33.160 --> 0:40:37.560 socialized medicine Like Republicans climate you know, you guys, they 0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:39.479 very least have a plan. It's the Affordable Care Act, 0:40:39.520 --> 0:40:42.319 and you know, patchwork Medicare, Medicaid and everything else, and 0:40:42.320 --> 0:40:45.200 it's we know that doesn't really work because subsidy is 0:40:45.280 --> 0:40:47.960 just transferring more money and covering up the problem. It 0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:51.120 shouldn't cost thirteen thousand dollars per person in the United 0:40:51.120 --> 0:40:54.160 States for just basic level healthcare. The other side, you know, 0:40:54.200 --> 0:40:57.680 Republicans don't really have an alternative solution to the healthcare 0:40:57.719 --> 0:41:00.200 crisis here. Why why don't we ever address that? Was 0:41:00.360 --> 0:41:01.040 just band it. 0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:07.680 Because it's hard, right, and politicians don't usually like to 0:41:07.719 --> 0:41:11.000 do the hard work. That's the stuff I love the most. 0:41:11.520 --> 0:41:15.640 I actually think that the health care complexity is what 0:41:15.800 --> 0:41:17.120 you know, and that's one of the reasons why I 0:41:17.239 --> 0:41:19.880 joined Energy and commerce because that's where we take on 0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:23.280 the healthcare fight and ultimately just gets back to who's 0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:25.480 paying for health care. And so for a long time, 0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:29.080 you know, employers did and most employers would cover your 0:41:29.120 --> 0:41:31.920 health care costs. And that's not the case anymore. You 0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:34.839 have more and more people who are working who don't 0:41:34.880 --> 0:41:38.600 get healthcare through their employers have to go buy it separately, 0:41:39.239 --> 0:41:43.440 and it's it's just too expensive for most people based 0:41:43.440 --> 0:41:46.319 on what people are earning. And so you know the 0:41:46.400 --> 0:41:48.880 question is do you want those folks to have no 0:41:49.000 --> 0:41:52.480 health insurance which screws everybody right because health care costs 0:41:52.520 --> 0:41:56.920 go up across the board. Or an't it bad to just, 0:41:57.120 --> 0:41:59.920 you know, have people, you know running around without health insurance. 0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:02.120 Yeah, you work two or three jobs and it's part time. 0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:05.120 And you know, the again, the engine that drives American economy. 0:42:05.160 --> 0:42:07.400 Of course, small business and those who went with the 0:42:07.480 --> 0:42:10.160 vast material businesses employ less than two hundred people and 0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:13.720 fewer and few of those businesses are offering healthcare mefoits 0:42:14.480 --> 0:42:16.080 simply because it costs to much. 0:42:16.960 --> 0:42:19.319 And yeah, and so then there are two places that 0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:22.439 a lot of folks go, I mean you know, there's 0:42:22.480 --> 0:42:25.920 obviously Medicare, there's Medicaid. If you're you're working and you're 0:42:25.920 --> 0:42:28.560 not making enough money to buy health insurance in the 0:42:28.600 --> 0:42:34.280 private marketplace, and your employer does not give you healthcare, 0:42:34.320 --> 0:42:37.320 which is the case for these lower wage jobs. And 0:42:37.680 --> 0:42:40.600 then and then you have a lot of middle class 0:42:40.600 --> 0:42:44.239 folks who are working really hard. They can't cover They 0:42:44.280 --> 0:42:48.600 can pay maybe you know, five six hundred dollars a week, 0:42:48.800 --> 0:42:51.880 but they can't a month, but they can't pay the 0:42:52.000 --> 0:42:54.680 thousand dollars are being asked to pay. So the subsidy 0:42:54.719 --> 0:42:57.560 helps to cover that and keep people ensured. That helps 0:42:57.560 --> 0:43:01.640 small businesses because you know, some he's helping, so they're 0:43:01.960 --> 0:43:04.640 stick around and they're they're not losing, right. 0:43:04.600 --> 0:43:07.880 I understand that. My point, My point is, Greg, it doesn't. Okay, 0:43:07.920 --> 0:43:11.520 you were just taking more tax pay money and subsidizing it. 0:43:11.719 --> 0:43:14.080 And I know we're in a nation of substies, but 0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:17.720 the point is it's so expensive because of the system 0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:20.120 that's in place right now. You said this is a 0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:22.239 hard problem. I don't think it's that hard To'll be 0:43:22.239 --> 0:43:24.640 honest with you. Hear me out for a second. Okay, 0:43:24.719 --> 0:43:27.719 so you've got these enhanced subsidies that were started in 0:43:27.800 --> 0:43:30.359 twenty twenty one from COVID nineteen and we got them 0:43:30.360 --> 0:43:32.239 through twenty twenty five, which I don't know. We're far 0:43:32.360 --> 0:43:34.759 moved from COVID right now. And it's been a cover 0:43:34.880 --> 0:43:36.840 for a long time to say, well it's COVID. Well no, 0:43:36.920 --> 0:43:38.920 it's a you know, this has to do with the 0:43:38.920 --> 0:43:41.359 Inflation Reduction Act. And by the way, all those things 0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:44.279 were passed like Trump's doing right now with executive order. 0:43:44.360 --> 0:43:47.480 So Congress has literally been rendered a gelding here in 0:43:47.520 --> 0:43:50.920 this case because you guys, you know, if we're going 0:43:50.960 --> 0:43:53.360 to have executive decree in an executive branch and the 0:43:53.360 --> 0:43:55.920 president just sign away an executive order everything, this is 0:43:55.960 --> 0:43:57.800 what we wind up getting. And this is why the 0:43:57.840 --> 0:44:00.520 governments shut down because Congress is kind of fact. So 0:44:01.040 --> 0:44:03.080 I look at the failures in healthcare in the market 0:44:03.120 --> 0:44:06.279 and go, you know, I buy life insurance. You have 0:44:06.320 --> 0:44:09.120 a hear complaint, well life insurance policy. I got car insurance. 0:44:09.160 --> 0:44:11.279 I buy that on the market. I have homeowners or 0:44:11.280 --> 0:44:13.919 I have renters insurance. We buy stuff on the open 0:44:13.960 --> 0:44:16.200 market all the time. Healthcare doesn't work like that. And 0:44:17.040 --> 0:44:19.560 I think if you just simply it really easy for 0:44:19.560 --> 0:44:21.480 Congress who goes listen, if you're an employer, you can 0:44:21.600 --> 0:44:23.560 offer health care benefits anymore. We're going to open it 0:44:23.640 --> 0:44:26.560 up to insurance companies from around the country. They're going 0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:29.760 to bid on it. It's innovative, the lowest cost wins. 0:44:29.760 --> 0:44:32.520 And then all the money that we spend on bureaucracy 0:44:32.600 --> 0:44:36.080 and compliance and share all that stuff, all that money 0:44:36.120 --> 0:44:38.439 can go and help people who fall between the cracks, 0:44:38.480 --> 0:44:41.840 who really need it. And look at the gig economy. 0:44:41.880 --> 0:44:43.719 So many people are stuck in jobs they hate or 0:44:43.760 --> 0:44:46.279 they're underpaid because they have health care benefits. If we 0:44:46.400 --> 0:44:50.439 freed people from employment and health care benefits and liberated them, 0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:54.000 the economy would explode. Why aren't we doing that? It's 0:44:54.040 --> 0:44:56.080 the easiest thing in the world for you guys to go. No, 0:44:56.320 --> 0:44:58.800 you're a business. You can't offer health insurance. You're not 0:44:58.840 --> 0:45:01.600 giving me car insurance, taking care of my homeowners insurance. 0:45:01.600 --> 0:45:04.240 You're not by my pet insurance or my renter's insurance. 0:45:04.480 --> 0:45:05.839 Why are we doing thotle of health care? 0:45:06.800 --> 0:45:08.520 Are you as sure as I'm sorry? Are you making 0:45:08.560 --> 0:45:09.839 an argument for a single pair? 0:45:10.719 --> 0:45:13.360 I'm out? Yeah, here's the thing, right, So here's the 0:45:13.400 --> 0:45:14.960 thing and it's based on and there's still going to 0:45:15.000 --> 0:45:17.480 be subsidy, of course, because there's people that again, but 0:45:17.680 --> 0:45:19.880 you said, you know, if you make the standard what 0:45:19.920 --> 0:45:22.680 eight hundred, I forget what the percentage is, but a 0:45:22.719 --> 0:45:24.799 percentage your income goes to healthcare costs, just like it 0:45:24.840 --> 0:45:26.640 does for everything else. And if you can't meet that, 0:45:26.680 --> 0:45:28.960 the government can come in and help you there, and 0:45:29.000 --> 0:45:31.799 we'll have more than enough money to not only put 0:45:31.800 --> 0:45:34.439 that towards the deficit, greg but also help people who 0:45:34.440 --> 0:45:37.439 really need it. That's good for Republicans and Democrats, isn't it. 0:45:39.680 --> 0:45:43.720 I mean, I do. I do believe that the current 0:45:43.800 --> 0:45:48.480 passion does not work and and sort of taking away 0:45:48.520 --> 0:45:51.680 from that is just going to create this crisis, right, 0:45:51.719 --> 0:45:55.440 so that I agree with, which is you know, I 0:45:55.480 --> 0:45:58.960 believe there should be a single payer or at least 0:45:58.960 --> 0:46:03.319 a public option where people can buy into Medicaid, which 0:46:03.320 --> 0:46:09.600 is an incredibly efficient, uh you know healthcare uh system, 0:46:10.080 --> 0:46:13.640 and it's got the lowest overhead. I'm not I'm not 0:46:13.680 --> 0:46:17.719 a big believer that everything should be uh, you know, 0:46:18.320 --> 0:46:21.080 for profit, Like I just don't think that these healthcare 0:46:21.080 --> 0:46:23.520 companies should be running a big profit. 0:46:23.600 --> 0:46:27.799 Well, you're in the wrong country. Then buddy. But yes 0:46:27.840 --> 0:46:30.760 and no, like there are certain places where we don't 0:46:30.840 --> 0:46:34.520 say okay, like I we we say, look, we want 0:46:34.600 --> 0:46:38.520 the profits or any additional resources here to go into 0:46:38.560 --> 0:46:42.680 people's care, Like people should not be making, uh, you know, 0:46:42.760 --> 0:46:44.240 billions and billions. 0:46:43.800 --> 0:46:49.360 Of dollars, you know, running these healthcare companies or pharmaceutical companies, 0:46:49.360 --> 0:46:51.640 when in fact you have all of these people who 0:46:51.719 --> 0:46:54.320 are struggling to pay for their health care. So I 0:46:55.160 --> 0:46:57.320 don't think that the current system works. 0:46:58.960 --> 0:47:01.400 But we're not going to going to that. 0:47:01.840 --> 0:47:05.640 Yeah, the question is it's like, you know, this this 0:47:05.800 --> 0:47:11.840 is being negotiated or worked on simultaneously with the President 0:47:11.880 --> 0:47:16.360 announcing a twenty billion dollar subsidy for Argentina. Now that 0:47:17.000 --> 0:47:21.239 went under the radar screen radar for most people. But like, 0:47:21.320 --> 0:47:24.920 why are we sending twenty billion dollars to Argentina? I 0:47:24.920 --> 0:47:29.360 mean seriously, Yeah, when it could easily solve this problem 0:47:29.400 --> 0:47:31.759 and reopen the government. You know, I just don't get it, 0:47:31.800 --> 0:47:35.680 Like I I agree that, like, you can't subsidize everything. 0:47:36.360 --> 0:47:40.360 But so far this administration has picked a few things 0:47:40.640 --> 0:47:46.560 intel you know, maybe some additional companies as like this 0:47:46.680 --> 0:47:49.560 TikTok deal and some other things We're not entirely sure 0:47:49.800 --> 0:47:54.040 and Argentina, but you can't help people pay their health care. 0:47:54.080 --> 0:47:56.960 That doesn't make any sense to me zero. Right. 0:47:57.440 --> 0:48:00.320 He's Greg Landsman, a representative here this morning with Sloanely 0:48:00.360 --> 0:48:03.640 on seven hundred WLW. How long do you perceive this guy? 0:48:03.640 --> 0:48:05.440 I mean, you know you're kind of on the inside. 0:48:05.440 --> 0:48:07.840 You're hearing stuff too. Is how long does this drag on? 0:48:08.400 --> 0:48:10.799 At What point is enough enough? When is the point made? 0:48:13.320 --> 0:48:15.680 When? I mean, like, at least for me, like I've 0:48:15.719 --> 0:48:18.120 got to I've got to keep fighting for the healthcare piece, 0:48:18.160 --> 0:48:20.040 just because I've got so many constituents who are gonna 0:48:20.040 --> 0:48:22.120 weak for healthcare if we don't get this done. I 0:48:22.239 --> 0:48:27.480 suspect that one of two things will happen. Either Trump 0:48:27.520 --> 0:48:30.759 finally gets involved. I've never seen this happen where the 0:48:30.800 --> 0:48:34.080 presidents are sort of unplugged, like you do need the 0:48:34.120 --> 0:48:36.840 president to step in and say, okay, we're going to 0:48:36.880 --> 0:48:39.959 get a deal done, right, and he has not done 0:48:39.960 --> 0:48:42.080 that yet. They had an hour meeting in the White 0:48:42.080 --> 0:48:45.560 House a couple of weeks ago. He mostly just kind 0:48:45.560 --> 0:48:47.399 of listened. I don't I think he was getting caught 0:48:47.480 --> 0:48:50.680 up based on my you know, understanding of the meeting, 0:48:50.920 --> 0:48:53.600 like you need a president, Like if you were president 0:48:53.719 --> 0:48:56.080 or I was president, we would we would lock a 0:48:56.080 --> 0:48:57.759 couple of people in a room and just say get 0:48:57.760 --> 0:49:01.640 a deal done. That's suicide, yes, and it would get resolved. 0:49:01.640 --> 0:49:04.520 That's the other option is that it's sort of you know, 0:49:04.600 --> 0:49:07.040 from the bottom up, which is that there's a group 0:49:07.080 --> 0:49:12.960 of Senators Jean Shaheen and and Lisa mccowsky and and 0:49:13.040 --> 0:49:16.600 a few others, you know, Republican Democrats and a group 0:49:16.640 --> 0:49:20.280 of us on the House side who have been pushing 0:49:20.320 --> 0:49:22.440 this notion that you have to just open things up, 0:49:22.800 --> 0:49:28.000 get the stubs that he's done, maybe with some reform, 0:49:28.239 --> 0:49:32.080 capping it, for example, at a certain income level. Uh 0:49:32.160 --> 0:49:35.839 and and and and then live to fight another day. 0:49:36.440 --> 0:49:39.680 And if that happens, I think that forces that forces 0:49:40.080 --> 0:49:40.560 in the speed. 0:49:40.680 --> 0:49:42.520 Well well here's what and and and I think, okay, 0:49:42.520 --> 0:49:44.080 it may force And then in seven weeks do we 0:49:44.120 --> 0:49:44.960 do this all over again? 0:49:46.080 --> 0:49:48.960 No, I wouldn't. Like I'm I'm a big fan of 0:49:49.000 --> 0:49:51.520 saying like, we're not doing this for like, we're not 0:49:51.560 --> 0:49:54.160 going to do this every couple of weeks. So if 0:49:54.160 --> 0:49:59.560 we pass a continuing resolution that also includes these healthcare provisions. 0:49:59.719 --> 0:50:03.279 That's should be for the year. And if we can 0:50:03.280 --> 0:50:07.200 get a budget done, an actual budget, great, then put 0:50:07.200 --> 0:50:08.680 that on the floor and that can. 0:50:08.640 --> 0:50:11.040 Be incredibly I got an actual budget done at this point. 0:50:11.040 --> 0:50:13.680 He's representative Greg Lansam. Greg, Before I let you go 0:50:13.719 --> 0:50:17.239 real quick, I want to pivot to another issue here, 0:50:17.560 --> 0:50:20.120 and that would be the peace in Israel. Hamasa President 0:50:20.120 --> 0:50:23.040 may fly this weekend to the Middle East of Egypt 0:50:23.360 --> 0:50:25.120 as a hammer. It looks like we've got a deal. 0:50:25.520 --> 0:50:28.719 How optimistic are you that this is going to be 0:50:28.760 --> 0:50:31.040 a lasting piece based on what you've seen. 0:50:30.800 --> 0:50:35.160 In her I'm cautiously optimistic. I mean, you know, I 0:50:35.200 --> 0:50:37.040 know the reason why I know these players. Well, I've 0:50:37.080 --> 0:50:40.799 been there, you know, like con in the last thirty months, yere, 0:50:41.440 --> 0:50:44.800 you know, two years, three years, and work there for years. 0:50:45.280 --> 0:50:47.600 This is something I've cared about for decades, right and 0:50:47.719 --> 0:50:50.440 working on like I desperately want there to be a 0:50:50.560 --> 0:50:55.520 lasting piece. It does sound like there's a deal to 0:50:55.600 --> 0:50:59.960 get the hostages home and to end the war, which 0:51:00.320 --> 0:51:04.120 I have been a big proponent of. What happens next 0:51:04.400 --> 0:51:07.359 is it's still a question for me. Are you know 0:51:07.800 --> 0:51:10.880 what happens with Kamas? Because I think you have to 0:51:10.960 --> 0:51:16.360 free Gaza of Hamas, both for Palestinians and for Israelis 0:51:16.360 --> 0:51:18.880 and for the region, like they can't. They can't stay 0:51:18.920 --> 0:51:22.520 there and continue to dig tunnels and and and kill 0:51:22.560 --> 0:51:27.359 innocent people and and start start wars. And so this 0:51:27.480 --> 0:51:31.280 comes back to this coalition of Arab countries and if 0:51:31.080 --> 0:51:35.400 if the administration can lock in and dedicate more staff 0:51:36.160 --> 0:51:40.239 uh to that coalition and formalizing that coalition so that 0:51:40.320 --> 0:51:46.160 they are there as a permanent you know, uh, a 0:51:46.480 --> 0:51:48.160 permanent leadership. 0:51:48.560 --> 0:51:48.920 Uh. 0:51:49.400 --> 0:51:51.520 You know source right, you know that. 0:51:51.680 --> 0:51:54.160 One of theol so to speak, there's gonna be a 0:51:54.160 --> 0:51:54.600 lot of people. 0:51:54.640 --> 0:51:58.480 Then I think you have to have a big coalition, 0:51:58.640 --> 0:52:01.239 particularly of Arab country which is how they got this 0:52:01.360 --> 0:52:04.000 deal done, right, They got this steal done because they 0:52:04.040 --> 0:52:06.799 pulled this group together, which is what I spent with 0:52:06.960 --> 0:52:10.080 cop this you know, not to shoot my own horn, 0:52:10.160 --> 0:52:12.239 but this is this was the plan I sent to 0:52:12.239 --> 0:52:14.960 with Copp months ago, which is like the path to 0:52:15.040 --> 0:52:18.240 this is through these airs, through the air of nations. 0:52:18.280 --> 0:52:21.400 Once they declared they were done with Hamas, the door 0:52:21.520 --> 0:52:24.279 was open. That was three or four or five months ago. 0:52:24.920 --> 0:52:28.839 And now you've got to pull them together which they've 0:52:28.880 --> 0:52:31.560 done to get this steal done. But then you have 0:52:31.719 --> 0:52:34.520 to keep them together in order to get to that 0:52:34.640 --> 0:52:35.280 lasting piece. 0:52:35.800 --> 0:52:37.520 Yeah. My fear is as long as you have a 0:52:37.600 --> 0:52:40.080 ran around, you're going to have some It may not 0:52:40.120 --> 0:52:42.640 be Hamas it maybe a hoss light or a different 0:52:42.640 --> 0:52:44.920 group in Tyree, but you're going to that's the problem. Right. 0:52:44.960 --> 0:52:47.920 So anyway, he is a representative, Greg Lance. Can you 0:52:47.920 --> 0:52:50.719 go cuff? Can some constituents lawns? I feel like, you 0:52:50.760 --> 0:52:53.279 know we're doing you're doing something for the people, Greg, 0:52:53.280 --> 0:52:55.000 because the sitting around is not a good look for 0:52:55.040 --> 0:52:56.319 You're an active guy coming. 0:52:57.000 --> 0:53:00.719 I am still yeah, but like I have really uh 0:53:01.280 --> 0:53:04.600 and like desperately trying to you know, get get something 0:53:04.680 --> 0:53:08.400 resolved here. I also suspended my pay. Yeah, and and 0:53:08.680 --> 0:53:11.640 and and I go back to DC next week no 0:53:11.800 --> 0:53:15.439 matter whether, no matter if the speaker calls us back, 0:53:15.560 --> 0:53:19.319 I'm going back to just keep plugging along to try 0:53:19.360 --> 0:53:19.680 to get this. 0:53:19.719 --> 0:53:20.400 See what you can do? 0:53:20.440 --> 0:53:20.680 I mean? 0:53:21.000 --> 0:53:24.319 Yeah, all right, Well, hey man, I appreciate it.

Yeah, I just, uh, well, 0:53:41.080 --> 0:53:42.680 there's a lot of problems with this. I'm running late, 0:53:42.920 --> 0:53:44.719 and we could kick as the why and how we 0:53:44.800 --> 0:53:46.360 got here, and a lot of this has to do 0:53:46.560 --> 0:53:49.719 with executive orders because Biden did it and then Trump said, 0:53:49.760 --> 0:53:52.279 hold my, hold my diet coke. This is how you 0:53:52.320 --> 0:53:54.839 do executive orders, and this is how we now govern. 0:53:55.000 --> 0:53:57.279 The executive order in Congress does nothing, and here we 0:53:57.360 --> 0:54:05.960 go again. Sloanly seven hundred w WE weekend is hair 0:54:06.200 --> 0:54:09.320 and that means lots of sports. Austin Elmore has a 0:54:09.440 --> 0:54:11.560 well deserved day off. Actually had the Green Bay. 0:54:11.640 --> 0:54:14.279 He's in there. He's in the middle Land in Wisconsin. 0:54:13.840 --> 0:54:14.080 He is. 0:54:14.160 --> 0:54:16.359 And I'll tell you what, I'm glad he took today off, 0:54:16.440 --> 0:54:19.640 quite honestly, because you need a full three days to 0:54:19.719 --> 0:54:22.160 experience Green Bay if you've never been and have an opportunity, 0:54:22.280 --> 0:54:23.640 I highly encourage that. 0:54:23.920 --> 0:54:27.399 Yeah, he was. He was indulging himself in some cheese 0:54:27.480 --> 0:54:30.120 curds and some pints yesterday. I saw, right media, So 0:54:30.280 --> 0:54:31.560 that's uh, he's doing it right. 0:54:31.719 --> 0:54:34.760 They have cheese curds here. I'm just saying they're entirely 0:54:34.800 --> 0:54:37.640 different in Wisconsin because they're like straight from the cow. 0:54:37.719 --> 0:54:41.759 There's still it's they're phenomenal, like absolutely worth it the 0:54:42.480 --> 0:54:45.160 cow in the back and just cranking them out there 0:54:45.400 --> 0:54:48.120 like a cow strabbled across this big, deep frier and 0:54:48.280 --> 0:54:50.920 just like someone milking in the just goes straight in. 0:54:52.280 --> 0:54:54.760 So there's that. There's the hall of Fame. The packers 0:54:55.120 --> 0:54:59.439 facility is it's it's really cool. It's really really cool. 0:55:00.040 --> 0:55:01.919 I don't know how to describe it other than really cool. 0:55:02.239 --> 0:55:06.400 Like the village around there, it's basically Packer lands, like 0:55:06.480 --> 0:55:08.239 a yeah, it's a Wrigley Veal feel to it, you 0:55:08.320 --> 0:55:11.000 know kind of thing, and it's real questioned and just 0:55:11.040 --> 0:55:14.080 the hall of Fame inside there's amazing. And then of 0:55:14.120 --> 0:55:16.480 course walking in the Lambeau a spectacular. So it's just 0:55:16.800 --> 0:55:18.560 if you have a chance to go, soak it all in, 0:55:19.400 --> 0:55:21.480 soak it all in. So Rick Ucchino is here. He 0:55:21.560 --> 0:55:23.439 just did the news. He runs in here breathlessly. Brick. 0:55:23.520 --> 0:55:25.680 Also in addition to the many other hats he wears here, 0:55:25.719 --> 0:55:28.560 because we all wear many hats, uh, He covers the 0:55:28.600 --> 0:55:32.000 Bengals for Serrus XM satellite radio. And so if you 0:55:32.080 --> 0:55:34.799 think things are bad in Cincinnati with Joe Flacco coming here, 0:55:34.840 --> 0:55:37.719 with the Reds getting this clay we made the postseason 0:55:37.760 --> 0:55:40.480 that gone swept by the Dodgers, who look like they 0:55:40.520 --> 0:55:42.879 may be the World Series champs. You think it's bad here, 0:55:44.160 --> 0:55:47.200 it could be worse. She could be Philly. Philly gets 0:55:47.960 --> 0:55:51.120 just truck last night by the New York Giants and 0:55:51.280 --> 0:55:54.400 a wet behind the years quarterback who's playing like the 0:55:54.520 --> 0:55:57.279 second incarnation of Pat Mahomes and Josh Allen's playing like 0:55:58.960 --> 0:56:02.320 he doesn't thirty four seven. Team Philly gets whooped, puts 0:56:02.360 --> 0:56:06.080 their legacy in question. And last night the most improbable 0:56:06.160 --> 0:56:09.560 thing of all happened in that Dodgers game. Dodgers put 0:56:09.560 --> 0:56:13.759 it away, it's one one, the head of the eleventh inning, 0:56:13.800 --> 0:56:17.760 there's two outs, the run around first and third, Kirkering 0:56:17.880 --> 0:56:21.239 comes in and he walks, the base is loaded, and 0:56:21.400 --> 0:56:24.879 then the play that looks like it's a Little League 0:56:25.160 --> 0:56:28.520 where the balls hit back to the mound, not hard, 0:56:28.640 --> 0:56:30.799 kind of weird, maybe a weird role on its spin, 0:56:31.560 --> 0:56:34.239 and he flubs it and instead of throwing the first 0:56:34.280 --> 0:56:36.160 where he clearly had the out. He throws it home 0:56:36.200 --> 0:56:37.759 and misses him by a country mile, and it was 0:56:37.800 --> 0:56:40.319 maybe a fifteen twenty foot throw. 0:56:40.800 --> 0:56:43.120 Yeah, you ever play billiards and you didn't chalk the 0:56:43.200 --> 0:56:45.759 queue up enough, That's what it looked like. It looked 0:56:45.800 --> 0:56:48.520 like that little skip right off the bat and it 0:56:48.640 --> 0:56:50.680 hits him in the shoe and it rolls away and 0:56:50.760 --> 0:56:54.920 it man, it was just he just panicked because if 0:56:54.960 --> 0:56:57.399 he just turn first off, he tries to throw home 0:56:58.120 --> 0:57:02.080 with his catcher pointing towards first base, He's like, throw 0:57:02.200 --> 0:57:07.160 the ball there, We're fine, and Steady loves it way wide. 0:57:07.320 --> 0:57:07.920 What what have been? 0:57:09.680 --> 0:57:13.080 And yeah, just ballgame over. If he just turns to 0:57:13.200 --> 0:57:15.640 his left and looks at first base, the runner I 0:57:15.760 --> 0:57:17.680 forget who was out the plate at the time. He's 0:57:17.760 --> 0:57:18.959 only halfway to first. 0:57:19.520 --> 0:57:20.479 He has more than. 0:57:20.440 --> 0:57:22.760 Enough time to throw that ball. Yeah, he continue the game. 0:57:22.960 --> 0:57:25.160 It was Jesse. 0:57:25.480 --> 0:57:27.880 It's one of those moments, that one of those situations 0:57:27.920 --> 0:57:29.840 that you dream about, but you never know how you're 0:57:29.840 --> 0:57:31.960 going to react in that situation. And it was just 0:57:32.120 --> 0:57:34.240 sheer panic and chaos and not the way you want 0:57:34.280 --> 0:57:37.600 your season to end. But still I will argue, by 0:57:37.640 --> 0:57:40.640 the way I will happily be a Philadelphia sports fan 0:57:40.720 --> 0:57:43.040 this morning if I could be considering, Yeah, the Eagles 0:57:43.120 --> 0:57:45.960 loss last night, there's still the defending Super Bowl champion. 0:57:46.200 --> 0:57:49.160 I'll take that hangover place. Philly does have a world 0:57:49.240 --> 0:57:51.320 championship in my life. 0:57:51.360 --> 0:57:54.080 My cognitive lifetime. Yes, last time the reds one, I 0:57:54.200 --> 0:57:54.480 was two. 0:57:54.720 --> 0:57:55.120 I get it. 0:57:55.280 --> 0:57:55.720 I get it. 0:57:56.000 --> 0:57:58.280 I'm so just saying if Philly today is and can 0:57:58.320 --> 0:58:00.720 you imagine being Kirkering and going back to Philly Like 0:58:00.840 --> 0:58:03.200 I just go, hey, you know what, I'm just gonna 0:58:03.200 --> 0:58:03.600 stay here. 0:58:04.080 --> 0:58:06.160 That man got shoved in a locker last night that 0:58:07.280 --> 0:58:09.360 I could just see kyleege Schwarber chasing him around with 0:58:09.400 --> 0:58:10.920 the bats, the. 0:58:10.960 --> 0:58:13.280 Playing back like TSA is waiting for him. It's like, 0:58:13.320 --> 0:58:16.120 I'm not I'm leaving. No, We're gonna go through your stuff. Yeah, 0:58:16.440 --> 0:58:19.960 we're going through your stuff. Let's start with this. Uh, 0:58:20.320 --> 0:58:23.360 we have the Bengals and we have the Packers. Sunday 0:58:23.400 --> 0:58:25.640 four twenty five, Dan and Lamp with the call at 0:58:25.720 --> 0:58:27.920 Dan on the first hour of the show, Joe Flacco 0:58:28.000 --> 0:58:31.280 comes into town, four year old quarterback Like when this 0:58:31.520 --> 0:58:34.840 broke you're reading, I asked this to everyone, What was 0:58:34.880 --> 0:58:37.200 your first reaction was like your gut reaction, Thank god? 0:58:38.200 --> 0:58:40.960 Is that really honestly in all sincerity, because they had 0:58:41.000 --> 0:58:44.840 to do something, Scott, Yeah, they had to do something. 0:58:44.960 --> 0:58:47.640 It could have been anybody. It could have been Sam Howell, 0:58:47.720 --> 0:58:49.959 it could have been any other quarterback out there. Because 0:58:50.000 --> 0:58:51.760 I'm watching this game. I was there a pay Horse 0:58:51.760 --> 0:58:54.800 Stadium on Sunday and I am watching Jake Browning play 0:58:55.520 --> 0:58:59.160 the worst game of football I've ever seen a quarterback 0:59:00.240 --> 0:59:04.040 play in my life. He is misreading, he is misthrowing, 0:59:04.240 --> 0:59:07.080 he is panicking, he is playing with absolutely no confidence. 0:59:07.280 --> 0:59:11.600 The entire stadium is booing him out of the building, 0:59:12.200 --> 0:59:15.680 praying that Zach Taylor brings in Brett Rippin. And the 0:59:15.760 --> 0:59:18.400 fact that Zach Taylor didn't bring in Brett Rippon when 0:59:18.440 --> 0:59:21.720 his quarterback has played that bad for twelve straight quarters 0:59:22.680 --> 0:59:25.800 shows you what they thought of Brett Rippon in that situation. 0:59:26.200 --> 0:59:28.560 And You're like, there's no quarterback on this roster that 0:59:28.600 --> 0:59:30.640 gives them a chance to be not just win, but 0:59:30.800 --> 0:59:34.440 be competitive. They had to do something. So seeing a 0:59:34.560 --> 0:59:37.680 guy who, yeah, he hasn't been playing that great this season, 0:59:38.520 --> 0:59:41.560 but the offense in Cleveland is not exactly surrounded with 0:59:41.840 --> 0:59:44.400 talent to help him out outside of the tight end position. 0:59:45.320 --> 0:59:47.680 To see them go out and make an in season trade, 0:59:47.720 --> 0:59:50.240 which they rarely do, to actually make a trade with 0:59:50.320 --> 0:59:53.400 the division rival that they've never pulled off before, shows 0:59:53.440 --> 0:59:55.840 you that they knew they had to do something, and 0:59:55.920 --> 0:59:58.320 they went out and they did something, and it cannot 0:59:58.360 --> 0:59:59.800 get worse. It can't get worse. 1:00:00.360 --> 1:00:03.920 My initial reaction was like, oh God, Joe Flacco can't move. 1:00:03.960 --> 1:00:06.120 He's forty years old, and like he's been benched for 1:00:06.200 --> 1:00:08.040 a reason. And I understand that, And Okay, I know 1:00:08.080 --> 1:00:10.200 you got to get Dylan Gabriel and maybe Shooter Sanders, 1:00:10.280 --> 1:00:12.880 and you know, quarterbacks die in Cleveland. I understand that. 1:00:13.280 --> 1:00:14.720 And then it struck me as like, you know what, 1:00:14.880 --> 1:00:16.760 but I'm gonna watch. I'm gonna listen to this game. 1:00:16.800 --> 1:00:20.440 And I went Then it worked because this weekend I 1:00:20.600 --> 1:00:22.760 was planning on, like, you know, I can't do much 1:00:22.800 --> 1:00:25.000 with my foot, but like it wasn't gonna be spending 1:00:25.440 --> 1:00:28.200 a beautiful Sunday afternoon because the weather's amazing, sitting inside 1:00:28.200 --> 1:00:30.919 watching the Bengals screw things up. Yeah, now I'm gonna watch. 1:00:31.520 --> 1:00:32.360 So it worked. 1:00:32.800 --> 1:00:35.320 You can either be bad or interesting. I would rather 1:00:35.560 --> 1:00:39.480 be interesting, right, Joe Flacco is is now interesting and 1:00:39.680 --> 1:00:42.000 you know you can as and trust me, we we 1:00:42.120 --> 1:00:44.440 have a lot of practices with this. As Bengals fans, 1:00:44.520 --> 1:00:47.760 you kind of talk yourself into being cautiously optimistic about this. 1:00:48.400 --> 1:00:53.000 Joe Flacco for his entire career right now arguably has 1:00:53.080 --> 1:00:55.920 the best weapons that he has ever had available to him. 1:00:56.240 --> 1:00:59.320 And I think the hope is if you're the Bengals, 1:00:59.360 --> 1:01:01.800 if you're Bengals, you can look at everything that Jake 1:01:01.880 --> 1:01:05.280 Browning wasn't doing and you can hope that Joe Flacco 1:01:05.440 --> 1:01:08.240 can do that. Can he actually make the right decision 1:01:08.320 --> 1:01:10.960 on an RPO with a stacked box instead of handing 1:01:11.000 --> 1:01:13.520 it off to Chase Brown, look over to his left 1:01:13.720 --> 1:01:15.640 and throw it to Jamar Chase when he's got two 1:01:15.640 --> 1:01:17.760 guys in front of him and they're perfectly blocked. Can 1:01:17.840 --> 1:01:21.439 he make that simple throw? Can he analyze the play 1:01:21.520 --> 1:01:24.040 beforehand and realize he's got Chase Brown one on one 1:01:24.080 --> 1:01:26.120 with a linebacker and that dude is going to get 1:01:26.200 --> 1:01:28.760 cooked and just throwed wide open across the middle of 1:01:28.760 --> 1:01:30.560 the field for a touchdown instead of trying to hit 1:01:30.680 --> 1:01:33.040 t Higgins on a fade route when he's double covered 1:01:33.400 --> 1:01:38.120 like these were simple breakdown plays and this that's Tony 1:01:38.160 --> 1:01:41.000 Pike's work. By the way that I'm quoting that checkdowns, 1:01:41.040 --> 1:01:42.720 though it says a lot about the cubit. Yeah, you're 1:01:43.160 --> 1:01:47.080 you're just making terrible decisions. Some of his interceptions were 1:01:47.200 --> 1:01:50.200 absolutely awful. Didn't know who he was throwing to. Somehow 1:01:50.240 --> 1:01:52.720 didn't see linebackers in the middle of the field. It 1:01:52.880 --> 1:01:55.840 wasn't until the fourth quarter on Sunday when you know 1:01:56.040 --> 1:01:58.520 he doesn't matter it, didn't care. Was off that he 1:01:58.560 --> 1:02:00.920 started making plays and he played it little bit more relaxed. 1:02:01.240 --> 1:02:03.840 They had to do something. Hopefully Joe can come in here, 1:02:04.280 --> 1:02:07.720 as as Jamar Chase eloquently said yesterday, do your job, 1:02:08.120 --> 1:02:10.160 get the ball to me and tea and let us go. 1:02:10.400 --> 1:02:12.280 Let us do what we do and let let these 1:02:12.320 --> 1:02:15.160 guys make the play, which I think they could be competitive. 1:02:14.680 --> 1:02:16.120 Which I think you'd be Bringing it back to last 1:02:16.200 --> 1:02:18.320 night's Dodgers Phillies game. I mean, a lot of Reds 1:02:18.400 --> 1:02:20.560 fans slash Bengals can empathize with Kick Geren because he 1:02:20.600 --> 1:02:22.440 looked like Jake Browning out there, and that last play 1:02:22.440 --> 1:02:23.960 of the game in the eleventh inn he was like, 1:02:24.040 --> 1:02:27.760 that's what our quarterback's been, Yes, largely for the last 1:02:27.800 --> 1:02:30.520 few games. Like he just seems scared in his own head. 1:02:30.680 --> 1:02:33.280 It's not physical, it's mental. And you know it's been 1:02:33.320 --> 1:02:34.920 a few couple of years since he last played and 1:02:35.000 --> 1:02:36.920 flashed really well in twenty three. Well it's twenty five 1:02:37.040 --> 1:02:39.240 ninety eight. So I'm in the Joe Flacco thing, which 1:02:39.520 --> 1:02:40.840 I'll be honest, I think like the rest of the 1:02:40.960 --> 1:02:43.080 NFL is watching this going kind of rooting for the 1:02:43.120 --> 1:02:45.680 Bengals and this going, Hey, here's old man Flacco, you know, 1:02:45.880 --> 1:02:49.880 twenty ninth quarterback that the Browns have had in the 1:02:49.960 --> 1:02:54.360 last twenty years. And now he goes to Cincinnati, a 1:02:54.480 --> 1:02:57.160 division opponent, the Brown route, you know, the Brown family, 1:02:57.240 --> 1:02:59.080 and he goes he starts winning football games, and like, 1:02:59.160 --> 1:03:00.720 you want to cheer for Joe Flacko now in the 1:03:00.880 --> 1:03:02.600 in the Bengals because they've been so bad, and like, 1:03:02.920 --> 1:03:05.120 can he save the season? You know, it's not out 1:03:05.120 --> 1:03:07.000 of reach. They've lost three straight. They're two and three. 1:03:07.240 --> 1:03:10.360 I think not eight, maybe eight, but probably like nine 1:03:10.480 --> 1:03:11.280 is going to win the division. 1:03:11.320 --> 1:03:13.640 So you're goussibly. I mean, it all depends on whether 1:03:13.680 --> 1:03:16.600 the Steelers can hang on because Baltimore is in a 1:03:16.840 --> 1:03:19.280 world of hurt right now. They're one and four. Lamar 1:03:19.400 --> 1:03:21.080 Jackson is not going to play again this week, and 1:03:21.160 --> 1:03:23.920 I is Baltimore playing Detroit this week? I think I 1:03:24.000 --> 1:03:27.720 can't remember who they who they play, but yeah, they're there. 1:03:27.760 --> 1:03:29.560 I know they're playing a good team this weekend. So 1:03:29.600 --> 1:03:32.480 they're staring at one and five with their quarterback situation 1:03:32.640 --> 1:03:35.520 also hurt. The Kansas City Chiefs are two and three 1:03:35.920 --> 1:03:38.080 to start the season and they have I actually I 1:03:38.080 --> 1:03:39.960 think it's Kansas City who plays Detroit this week, so 1:03:40.120 --> 1:03:43.880 they could possibly be two and four. You know, the 1:03:44.480 --> 1:03:47.080 the the AFC is so wide open and this and 1:03:47.480 --> 1:03:52.479 the schedule for the Bengals gets so much easier after 1:03:52.600 --> 1:03:56.480 these next two games. Granted, you're gonna there's a good 1:03:56.560 --> 1:03:58.120 chance you're going to be two and five after those 1:03:58.120 --> 1:04:00.360 two games. But we've seen this team make late runs before. 1:04:00.760 --> 1:04:04.400 Can Joe Flacko be serviceable? Make them competitive and see 1:04:04.480 --> 1:04:06.760 if the defense can help you out and help you 1:04:06.800 --> 1:04:08.840 win some of these these games and just keep it 1:04:09.000 --> 1:04:11.760 close enough to where hopefully the other Joe can come 1:04:11.840 --> 1:04:13.600 back and maybe this team can make a run. Because 1:04:13.600 --> 1:04:15.479 once you we've seen it before. Once you get into 1:04:15.520 --> 1:04:19.040 the playoffs, anything can happen. Yeah, right, just you just 1:04:19.080 --> 1:04:20.920 got to be the hot team at the exactly who 1:04:20.960 --> 1:04:21.440 can get hot. 1:04:21.480 --> 1:04:23.439 And if you can get Joe Burrow back at that point, 1:04:23.840 --> 1:04:25.760 not a guarantee, not a guarantee, you don't know, but 1:04:25.800 --> 1:04:27.400 I would think that they signed him. By the way, 1:04:27.480 --> 1:04:31.480 the Rams, Baltimore Rams. That's Bacon, Baltimore Rams, the Baltimore 1:04:31.600 --> 1:04:36.280 m Baltimore and Baltimore and the Rams this weekend. Yeah, 1:04:36.400 --> 1:04:39.200 I look at that and go, well, it tells me 1:04:39.320 --> 1:04:41.200 that they think Burrow is going to come back. You 1:04:41.240 --> 1:04:43.520 want to be optimistic, right, and Joe Burr's gonna fight 1:04:43.640 --> 1:04:46.320 like hell to come back this season. If the season's 1:04:46.360 --> 1:04:48.120 out of reach, you know, there's no reason to bring 1:04:48.200 --> 1:04:49.720 him back, right. So if you want to think that 1:04:49.800 --> 1:04:52.360 all those things come together and Joe Flacco can we 1:04:52.440 --> 1:04:54.960 get six games or I about six games out of 1:04:55.000 --> 1:04:55.840 Joe Flacco. 1:04:55.760 --> 1:05:00.280 Right, and that's the starting three, starting off and is 1:05:00.360 --> 1:05:02.439 huge because it gave him a cushion. Unfortunately it's gone 1:05:02.480 --> 1:05:06.120 now with these last these last three games. I would 1:05:06.160 --> 1:05:08.000 still be stunned if they win this weekend. But I 1:05:08.040 --> 1:05:11.840 don't think the game against Pittsburgh is at home Thursday 1:05:11.880 --> 1:05:15.120 Night football. Joe Burrow obviously, or just Joe Burrow, Joe 1:05:15.160 --> 1:05:20.200 Flacco obviously knows the Pittsburgh Steelers very well. Jeriatric Joe 1:05:20.240 --> 1:05:22.720 and Tojo those are the two that we got. But 1:05:23.200 --> 1:05:25.440 you know, Joe Flacco knows the Pittsburgh Steelers very well. 1:05:25.520 --> 1:05:27.880 I still believe that that is a winnable game. And 1:05:27.960 --> 1:05:29.560 then after that you get the Jets and the Bears, 1:05:29.640 --> 1:05:31.600 and then it's the bye week. Can you find a 1:05:31.640 --> 1:05:33.880 way to win two games over these next four right? 1:05:34.080 --> 1:05:36.520 And then you're still right there. You're four and five. 1:05:36.840 --> 1:05:39.560 You're right in the thick of it, and hopefully you 1:05:39.640 --> 1:05:42.080 can stay competitive and be within striking distance. Because I'll 1:05:42.080 --> 1:05:43.920 tell you this much. You know, Joe Burrow is doing 1:05:43.920 --> 1:05:46.480 everything he can do to come back and listening to 1:05:46.840 --> 1:05:49.360 Joe Danaman Fox nineteen talked to Austin Ellmore this week 1:05:49.480 --> 1:05:52.800 on Sincy three sixty. Joe Burrow is already walking around 1:05:52.960 --> 1:05:55.320 in the clubhouse. Granted he's got a walking boot on 1:05:55.440 --> 1:05:56.600 right now. He's caught up to you. 1:05:56.720 --> 1:05:57.400 As far as. 1:05:57.760 --> 1:05:59.760 Scooter, though I don't think he had a scooter. He 1:05:59.920 --> 1:06:03.200 was walking around, don't you dare compare me to Joe Burrow. 1:06:03.240 --> 1:06:04.440 I'm tougher than Joe Burrow. 1:06:05.160 --> 1:06:07.880 You both got boots, are a severed tendon in my foot, 1:06:07.920 --> 1:06:09.840 and I'm walking around doing stuff. This guy gets a 1:06:09.920 --> 1:06:12.160 toe injury and he's down for three months, and he's 1:06:12.200 --> 1:06:13.120 got thirty years on me. 1:06:13.280 --> 1:06:15.320 Come on the fact that he's already walking around in 1:06:15.360 --> 1:06:18.160 the clubhouse boot or not, that's that's encouraging to me. 1:06:18.200 --> 1:06:20.240 I'm not a medical professional, but that's encouraging to me. 1:06:20.360 --> 1:06:21.960 That seems the head of schedule. I'm not sure, but 1:06:22.240 --> 1:06:24.400 I have some optimism there. Yeah, you're just hope and 1:06:25.400 --> 1:06:27.200 with a striking distance or there's no point. But I 1:06:27.320 --> 1:06:30.000 know Joe is trying to get back, so the team 1:06:30.080 --> 1:06:31.840 has to try to keep it, keep it alive for him. 1:06:31.880 --> 1:06:36.160 Okay, and we're gonna watch this weekend simply because it's 1:06:36.240 --> 1:06:38.040 like kind of want to root for the underdog. We're 1:06:38.120 --> 1:06:39.800 Joe Flacco coming in the story and the Bengals are 1:06:39.840 --> 1:06:42.280 still they're close, and they've got the pieces there. But 1:06:42.640 --> 1:06:44.400 the thing that scares most, I point out the Dan Horde. 1:06:44.400 --> 1:06:46.680 It seems like this whole game, no, there's always nuances. 1:06:46.720 --> 1:06:48.480 You know, the three phases of the game, But it's 1:06:48.520 --> 1:06:51.440 like everything stems from what is going to happen with 1:06:51.480 --> 1:06:54.560 that offensive line, Like can you get sacked a couple 1:06:54.600 --> 1:06:56.920 of time? Okay, But if it's a regular thing, and 1:06:57.000 --> 1:06:59.640 the Bengals offensive line has made some improvements, I think 1:06:59.640 --> 1:07:01.919 they'll game against Detroit. They weren't as bad as they've 1:07:01.920 --> 1:07:04.240 been in the past, but it's not gonna take much 1:07:04.720 --> 1:07:07.560 to knock Joe Flacco down and throw them off his kid. 1:07:08.160 --> 1:07:11.120 Can they prolong the agony and we'll get to why 1:07:11.160 --> 1:07:13.320 there's gonna be agony this weekend long enough for this 1:07:13.440 --> 1:07:15.760 guy to make a pass downfield to Tea or Jamar 1:07:16.880 --> 1:07:18.760 and keep the game close, if not competitive. 1:07:18.880 --> 1:07:19.720 Yeah. So, I don't know. 1:07:20.680 --> 1:07:23.600 I might be in the minority here because I'm watching 1:07:23.640 --> 1:07:25.360 these last few games and I'm going I don't think 1:07:25.440 --> 1:07:28.000 the defense and the offensive line performed as badly as 1:07:28.400 --> 1:07:30.520 what everybody's gonna make it out to be, because I 1:07:30.560 --> 1:07:32.880 do believe the play of Jake Brown and brought the 1:07:32.920 --> 1:07:35.720 team down, brought the team down that badly. He had 1:07:35.800 --> 1:07:38.840 time to throw. He absolutely had time to throw. He 1:07:38.920 --> 1:07:40.680 did sometimes he did, and he still met me. He 1:07:40.800 --> 1:07:43.000 had as clean a pocket as you will ever see 1:07:43.040 --> 1:07:44.480 when he was backed up in his own end zone 1:07:44.480 --> 1:07:46.880 and decided to and just completely missed the ball to 1:07:47.000 --> 1:07:49.200 Jamar Chase that ended up being picked off, and then 1:07:49.360 --> 1:07:52.080 they're twenty yards out and the defense gives up a touchdown. Right, 1:07:52.360 --> 1:07:55.040 the defense is back to that, you know, bend but 1:07:55.240 --> 1:07:59.400 don't break. Force some timely turnovers, but if you give 1:07:59.440 --> 1:08:02.160 him a short field, chances are that's probably going. 1:08:02.080 --> 1:08:04.680 To turn the stage. They can be pretty mid that's but. 1:08:04.800 --> 1:08:09.280 That's coming into this season. That's what everybody said will 1:08:09.360 --> 1:08:11.440 carry you. Unfortunately, that doesn't work without Joe. 1:08:11.960 --> 1:08:13.920 The line to be better, and that's of course killing 1:08:13.960 --> 1:08:15.320 the run game too, because. 1:08:15.120 --> 1:08:17.280 Yes, that's the that's the biggest thing for me still, 1:08:17.320 --> 1:08:19.400 because I think Joe Flacco is going to be able 1:08:19.479 --> 1:08:22.280 to make quick decisions and get the ball out, if 1:08:22.360 --> 1:08:24.439 nothing more in the fact that he's forty years old, 1:08:24.439 --> 1:08:26.360 he doesn't want to get hit anymore, so he's going 1:08:26.400 --> 1:08:29.439 to throw the ball away. He's gonna make the quick decisions, 1:08:29.479 --> 1:08:31.360 he's going to get I don't expect him to come 1:08:31.400 --> 1:08:33.360 out here, and I might be wrong. I don't expect 1:08:33.400 --> 1:08:34.880 him to drop back and sit in the pocket and 1:08:34.960 --> 1:08:37.040 try to hit forty yard bombs. Downfield, even though he's 1:08:37.040 --> 1:08:39.280 still kicking. Any doing that, you're going to need a couple. 1:08:39.360 --> 1:08:41.000 But I don't expect that to be the game plan. 1:08:41.120 --> 1:08:43.800 I expect to see crossing routes across the middle, quick 1:08:43.880 --> 1:08:45.960 dump boss, kind of similar to what we saw Joe 1:08:46.000 --> 1:08:49.080 Flacco do against the Bengals in Week one and had 1:08:49.160 --> 1:08:51.120 some success and was moving the ball down the field. 1:08:51.400 --> 1:08:55.559 But he has much better weapons now he did. But again, 1:08:55.600 --> 1:08:57.360 there's back to that line in the run game. If 1:08:57.400 --> 1:09:00.240 you don't have the run game that throws, it's with 1:09:00.360 --> 1:09:01.400 run and it hasn't been. 1:09:01.479 --> 1:09:04.439 They got to get that figured out. And yeah, I 1:09:04.479 --> 1:09:06.680 mean they had they had some space last week. They 1:09:06.720 --> 1:09:07.680 just didn't run it that much. 1:09:07.760 --> 1:09:08.160 They threw it. 1:09:08.439 --> 1:09:10.720 They ran it eleven times I believe last week they 1:09:10.800 --> 1:09:13.280 ended up, but they were down by like four scores. 1:09:14.120 --> 1:09:16.200 It's been amped up because you're in Green Bay. But 1:09:16.360 --> 1:09:20.360 you've also got Rashan Gary and Micah Parsons. Yeah, that's 1:09:20.360 --> 1:09:22.519 a problem. That's a huge problem. That's that's a problem. 1:09:22.520 --> 1:09:24.719 That's a big, big and one of the biggest worries 1:09:24.800 --> 1:09:28.200 for me this season is watching the decline over Lando 1:09:28.280 --> 1:09:31.240 Brown Junior. He has been a turnstile at left tackle 1:09:31.400 --> 1:09:33.800 and he's got to get something figured out there. But yeah, 1:09:33.920 --> 1:09:36.960 there's still concerns for Sunday. Don't get me, there's an 1:09:37.320 --> 1:09:40.240 there's a lot of concerns if they win or get closest, 1:09:40.320 --> 1:09:41.519 like how do they pull that one off? 1:09:41.600 --> 1:09:42.200 Coach of the Year. 1:09:42.439 --> 1:09:46.400 But I will sleep so much better Saturday night heading 1:09:46.439 --> 1:09:49.000 into Sunday knowing that Joe Flacco is the quarterback than 1:09:49.120 --> 1:09:51.240 Jake Browning is, and I think that says more about 1:09:51.280 --> 1:09:52.120 Jake Browning than Joel. 1:09:52.439 --> 1:09:54.280 Listen, we got to go, but I don't. I want 1:09:54.320 --> 1:09:57.120 to also dip the cap two to U see because 1:09:57.120 --> 1:10:00.120 they've been playing in credible. He's been amazing. Uh can 1:10:00.200 --> 1:10:03.120 we get that offensive line? Yeah, he's been clean. I 1:10:03.160 --> 1:10:05.759 think what for the five had had had a second 1:10:05.760 --> 1:10:06.759 four to five game? Incredible? 1:10:06.880 --> 1:10:09.439 I mean the offensive line is why that that offense 1:10:09.520 --> 1:10:12.080 is clicking as much and just run blocking and pass blocking. 1:10:12.080 --> 1:10:15.160 They've been so great. Brandon Stories, we've been hitting his targets. 1:10:15.160 --> 1:10:18.160 They've got better receivers now, Uh, running backs are you're 1:10:18.280 --> 1:10:20.880 hitting wide open holes. I'm looking forward to this game. 1:10:20.960 --> 1:10:24.280 It's trap game potentially, but we'll see Right now. Twenty 1:10:24.280 --> 1:10:24.840 sixth in the Nation. 1:10:24.960 --> 1:10:27.519 Let's you see here we go in u CFS quarterback problems. 1:10:27.560 --> 1:10:29.240 There are a lot of injuries. So anyway, that's tomorrow 1:10:29.320 --> 1:10:31.519 Sunday Football for twenty five, Home of the best Bengals 1:10:31.560 --> 1:10:33.719 coverage seven hundred WW since. 1:10:33.600 --> 1:10:35.480 Net do you want to be an American? 1:10:36.760 --> 1:10:39.960 Scott's pone back on seven hundred W l W H I. 1:10:40.080 --> 1:10:42.120 If you caught this or not, it's really interesting. Remember 1:10:42.400 --> 1:10:45.680 Jim Acosta believe he's a former anchor at CNN. He 1:10:45.760 --> 1:10:49.680 did an interview with the victim of a murder, a 1:10:49.760 --> 1:10:55.720 shooting victim who passed away, Remember the Parkland shooting. He 1:10:55.920 --> 1:10:59.760 interviewed a dead person? What how do you do that? 1:11:00.720 --> 1:11:03.280 It's AI. So the Costa thing was a couple of 1:11:03.280 --> 1:11:05.720 months ago. Fast forward now they've launched a brand new 1:11:05.800 --> 1:11:09.920 AI bought platform of chaptering and you enter keywords and 1:11:10.000 --> 1:11:11.880 will create video for you based on that and some 1:11:12.040 --> 1:11:15.280 realistic ones like for example, a guy stuffing a drop box. 1:11:15.360 --> 1:11:17.560 It's some location somewhere getting out of a van, and 1:11:18.120 --> 1:11:19.800 you can imagine what that would do for the news 1:11:19.880 --> 1:11:22.479 cycle for news and now you know, in the past, 1:11:22.560 --> 1:11:24.800 the deep fakes and the digital twins have been hard 1:11:24.840 --> 1:11:26.519 to spot or easy to spot. I guess now is 1:11:26.600 --> 1:11:29.080 to make it much difficult and it's way easier to 1:11:29.160 --> 1:11:31.200 use than ever before. What does this all mean is 1:11:31.240 --> 1:11:33.720 the question? And you wonder how that's going to be 1:11:33.760 --> 1:11:36.400 exploited by criminal elements. Eric O'Neil is here. Eric is 1:11:36.400 --> 1:11:39.559 a former FBI operative cybersecurity expert has a book called Spies, 1:11:39.640 --> 1:11:40.679 Lies and cyber Crimes. 1:11:41.000 --> 1:11:41.120 Eric. 1:11:41.200 --> 1:11:43.120 Welcome, how are you hey? 1:11:43.200 --> 1:11:45.439 It's great to be here, and yes, this is an 1:11:45.680 --> 1:11:50.479 insane change in not only technology but how we are 1:11:50.720 --> 1:11:53.640 using technology and how it's changing up it is. 1:11:54.240 --> 1:11:58.160 I saw that and I thought, wow, this is you know, 1:11:58.240 --> 1:12:00.600 for example, when when we will all went online, you 1:12:00.680 --> 1:12:04.960 got the information super highway quickly, thieves and conspirators found 1:12:05.000 --> 1:12:08.200 ways to get our information and steal from us. And 1:12:08.400 --> 1:12:10.679 so you know, a lot of us subscribe to service. 1:12:10.760 --> 1:12:12.599 Maybe LifeLock would be a name of one of those 1:12:12.680 --> 1:12:15.680 things where if your identity is stolen, they can try 1:12:15.720 --> 1:12:17.560 and get that information back for you and try to 1:12:17.600 --> 1:12:19.800 make it a whole. It's still a horrible process. I 1:12:19.880 --> 1:12:22.400 have one of my elderly tenants, as a matter of fact, 1:12:22.439 --> 1:12:24.120 they got scammed out of a whole bunch of money 1:12:24.160 --> 1:12:27.080 from a poser like that as well, got their identity stolen, 1:12:27.160 --> 1:12:29.760 cleaning their accounts out, and so they're still working on 1:12:29.840 --> 1:12:33.519 trying to get themselves back together. And that's extremely difficult 1:12:33.560 --> 1:12:36.760 and painful to watch. So in a way, I look 1:12:36.800 --> 1:12:38.240 at this and go, is this going to be the 1:12:38.320 --> 1:12:40.400 next way people steal our our identities? Or you know, 1:12:40.520 --> 1:12:43.000 we have people who use the social security numbers of 1:12:43.040 --> 1:12:45.240 the dead, right, remember that, and the government tried to 1:12:45.280 --> 1:12:46.920 cramp down it. Is this going to be the same 1:12:47.000 --> 1:12:49.160 thing where now we have dead people and their likeness 1:12:49.240 --> 1:12:50.240 coming out to do god. 1:12:50.160 --> 1:12:54.040 Knows what we's got In a way, so what's happening 1:12:54.080 --> 1:12:58.440 is cyber criminals are using deception, which is an old. 1:12:58.280 --> 1:12:59.320 Playbook by spy. 1:12:59.600 --> 1:13:04.040 In fact, the top cyber crime syndicates launching attacks from 1:13:04.080 --> 1:13:08.120 the dark web have even hired intelligence operatives from Russia 1:13:08.200 --> 1:13:11.439 and China and other countries that want to do you 1:13:11.840 --> 1:13:14.680 bad to the United States to help them learn how 1:13:14.720 --> 1:13:17.799 to perfect these attacks. And of course these intelligence officers 1:13:17.840 --> 1:13:21.360 make money on the side. So what cyber attackers are 1:13:21.400 --> 1:13:26.000 doing cyber criminals is using what we call impersonation attacks, 1:13:26.200 --> 1:13:31.280 and the oldest form of technology, technological impersonation attack is 1:13:31.320 --> 1:13:34.479 the spearfishing email, that email that it pretends it comes 1:13:34.520 --> 1:13:37.480 from your friend or your employer or event or someone 1:13:37.520 --> 1:13:40.360 you trust like UPS or FedEx, and when you click it, 1:13:40.600 --> 1:13:45.000 you get malware installed. The next evolution of that is 1:13:45.120 --> 1:13:49.439 deep bakes and deep bates are everywhere. It wasn't just 1:13:49.600 --> 1:13:52.120 the Acosta interview, which we can talk about, because I 1:13:52.160 --> 1:13:53.479 think the ethics of that are. 1:13:53.560 --> 1:13:55.400 Absolutely sketchy at best. 1:13:56.439 --> 1:13:59.160 Marco Rubio's voice was deep bakes to full a number 1:13:59.200 --> 1:14:01.960 of government official joining him on a signal chat. It 1:14:02.080 --> 1:14:07.000 wasn't him, it was probably a group of spies. Biden's 1:14:07.080 --> 1:14:09.639 voice was deep baked on a robo call to get 1:14:09.680 --> 1:14:12.200 people in New Hampshire not to vote. There were deep 1:14:12.240 --> 1:14:16.080 fake images of Trump in looking like he was arrested 1:14:16.320 --> 1:14:20.960 to try to change the way people think. And even worse, 1:14:21.080 --> 1:14:24.000 there was a mother in Arizona. I write about this 1:14:24.080 --> 1:14:27.800 story in my book where her daughter called her saying Mom, 1:14:27.880 --> 1:14:31.080 I've been kidnapped, and the next voice on the phone 1:14:31.439 --> 1:14:34.240 was a gruff voice that said I've got your daughter, 1:14:34.320 --> 1:14:37.439 and if you don't pay me right away, I'm gonna 1:14:37.840 --> 1:14:39.960 kill her and leave her body in a ditch. In 1:14:40.040 --> 1:14:43.200 Mexico where you'll never find her. And the mother later 1:14:43.400 --> 1:14:47.160 testified to Congress that a mother knows her daughter's voice, 1:14:47.200 --> 1:14:48.599 and that was my daughter's voice. 1:14:48.640 --> 1:14:49.320 It was a deep fake. 1:14:49.840 --> 1:14:53.240 So they're everywhere, and this is the new evelation evolution 1:14:53.439 --> 1:14:57.240 of cyber attacks. Deep bakes fool us because they exploit 1:14:57.320 --> 1:14:59.800 our trust. And if we believe that it is some 1:15:00.200 --> 1:15:04.160 that we care about, that we're more likely to click 1:15:04.200 --> 1:15:07.479 on that leak open that attachment. Or what cyber criminals 1:15:07.560 --> 1:15:09.880 do more and more is get us to send money. 1:15:11.000 --> 1:15:14.400 And once that money is gone, you know they have 1:15:14.520 --> 1:15:15.519 it and you can't get it back. 1:15:15.640 --> 1:15:15.880 That's it. 1:15:16.160 --> 1:15:18.680 It's almost like ed Eric, you need to assume that 1:15:18.880 --> 1:15:21.519 that every picture, every image of you out there could 1:15:21.520 --> 1:15:24.400 be used by a criminal. So and I would say, 1:15:24.439 --> 1:15:26.759 you know, normally we told kids, hey, don't send nudes 1:15:26.760 --> 1:15:30.320 and don't send pictures of yourself in compromising situations because 1:15:30.320 --> 1:15:32.800 it could be used against you. But you don't even 1:15:32.840 --> 1:15:35.120 need that anymore, right, I mean, you could deep thanke 1:15:35.200 --> 1:15:38.760 someoney naked. There's there's a there's a app out there 1:15:38.840 --> 1:15:39.240 that does that. 1:15:39.360 --> 1:15:39.519 Now. 1:15:40.520 --> 1:15:44.160 Yeah, well, I write, I write a weekly newsletter and 1:15:44.320 --> 1:15:46.040 one of my recent newsletters. 1:15:45.600 --> 1:15:49.040 I looked at these new toify apps is they're still. 1:15:48.920 --> 1:15:52.639 Allowed, and in fact, these applications what they called neudified apps, 1:15:52.640 --> 1:15:55.040 and what they do is they take an image of someone. 1:15:55.920 --> 1:15:59.400 Normally it's boys who are taking images of girls in swimsuits, 1:15:59.439 --> 1:16:04.439 and it quickly turns them naked, right using an immense 1:16:04.479 --> 1:16:07.600 amount of learning that the AI has been trained on 1:16:07.960 --> 1:16:12.680 female models, so it actually comes pretty close. These applications, 1:16:12.680 --> 1:16:15.720 which you can get on the surface web, the part 1:16:15.800 --> 1:16:19.639 of the Internet that you don't need a special browser 1:16:19.680 --> 1:16:23.200 to get into, you know, just the regular Web. They 1:16:23.479 --> 1:16:27.800 advertise on social media, so they're advertising to kids and 1:16:27.960 --> 1:16:31.559 that can cause what that's doing is is causing immense 1:16:31.640 --> 1:16:34.280 bullying in schools. You can see where this sort of 1:16:34.320 --> 1:16:36.360 application where you can take a picture and make the 1:16:36.439 --> 1:16:40.000 person naked or put them in compromising situations, could lead 1:16:40.040 --> 1:16:43.479 to intense cyber bullying, and it does. A group of 1:16:43.600 --> 1:16:46.800 eighth grade boys in a school in San Francisco were 1:16:46.840 --> 1:16:50.280 all expelled last year because they had a new tofy 1:16:50.920 --> 1:16:52.559 ring all the girls in their class. 1:16:53.200 --> 1:16:56.720 Wow, and imagine the humiliation. That's not me, that's not me. 1:16:57.040 --> 1:17:00.280 We don't believe you, and we know what you're People, 1:17:00.360 --> 1:17:03.280 especially young women, think of themselves and that is just catastrophic. 1:17:03.360 --> 1:17:05.639 It's going to be it's going to hurt their development 1:17:05.720 --> 1:17:08.200 and not only their mental health, but also puts them 1:17:08.200 --> 1:17:10.400 at a risk for god knows what else. It's it's 1:17:10.400 --> 1:17:14.400 absolutely horrible. Eric O'Neil is here, he cybersecurity expert, and 1:17:14.479 --> 1:17:17.400 we're talking about the advance of AI. Maybe say it 1:17:17.439 --> 1:17:19.760 maybe didn't and that would be a former cnnacre Jim 1:17:19.800 --> 1:17:24.080 Accosta's interview with a now deceased will long deceased shooting 1:17:24.160 --> 1:17:27.519 victim from the Parkland massacre and did an interview with 1:17:27.640 --> 1:17:32.160 that AI generated image. It's absolutely haunting because you look 1:17:32.200 --> 1:17:35.120 at it looked that it looks real, and day by day, 1:17:35.200 --> 1:17:37.760 hour by hour, minute by minute, it's just getting better. 1:17:37.880 --> 1:17:41.280 It's getting harder, if not impossible, Eric, for you to 1:17:41.400 --> 1:17:42.639 discern that with a naked eye. 1:17:43.720 --> 1:17:44.840 Right, that's absolutely true. 1:17:44.840 --> 1:17:48.080 But let's talk a little bit about what Jim Acosta did, Scott, 1:17:48.280 --> 1:17:53.520 because I'm not particularly sanguine about what he did. It's 1:17:53.680 --> 1:17:56.640 very much a gimmick and it is causing problems. So 1:17:57.439 --> 1:18:00.120 you know, I wrote a piece called Digital Souls that 1:18:01.720 --> 1:18:05.240 looks at the new innovations in AI in order to 1:18:05.360 --> 1:18:08.639 talk to people who are deceased. And I actually wrote 1:18:08.680 --> 1:18:12.479 this piece with a psychologist who is an expert in 1:18:12.600 --> 1:18:16.320 Greek counseling, and she was very opposed to it because 1:18:16.600 --> 1:18:21.519 the problem here is you're not resurrecting your dead loved one. 1:18:21.720 --> 1:18:26.120 What you're doing is creating at best a samacrolum. Right, 1:18:26.280 --> 1:18:30.120 So what it is is it's AI doing its best 1:18:30.240 --> 1:18:33.679 to answer like the person, just based on a bunch 1:18:33.760 --> 1:18:38.080 of writings and a checklist of answers that you give. 1:18:38.640 --> 1:18:41.160 So what it is is essentially your best impression of 1:18:41.240 --> 1:18:44.280 the person, and the AI is doing it's best to 1:18:44.360 --> 1:18:47.040 answer it's not the person. And it can cause all 1:18:47.120 --> 1:18:51.080 sorts of psychological problems for the people who are left 1:18:51.160 --> 1:18:54.920 behind who believes they're talking, who might at some point 1:18:55.000 --> 1:18:58.880 believe they're talking to this person and they're not. It's 1:18:58.960 --> 1:19:00.599 like a black mirror e fid. So in fact, there 1:19:00.840 --> 1:19:04.280 was there was an episode like this, and it can 1:19:04.400 --> 1:19:09.120 cause it can cause the whole grief process to be 1:19:10.560 --> 1:19:13.960 intercepted and delayed, so you can't move through those stages 1:19:14.000 --> 1:19:17.120 of grief because you continue to think you're speaking to 1:19:17.200 --> 1:19:20.240 the person you're not, and it's not the person. The 1:19:20.400 --> 1:19:23.000 only thing that AI can do is mimic. It can 1:19:23.120 --> 1:19:28.880 mimic very realistically, but it's just a mimic. It doesn't create. 1:19:29.080 --> 1:19:32.439 It doesn't create anything new. It just takes the things 1:19:32.560 --> 1:19:34.880 that have gone before and recycles it. 1:19:35.160 --> 1:19:37.479 Well, there's a new there's a new trend where people 1:19:37.720 --> 1:19:42.120 are having conversations and relationships essentially with AI and just 1:19:42.200 --> 1:19:44.400 talking to them, like framing their's commercials about this now 1:19:45.560 --> 1:19:48.240 and people are having conversations and relationships with AI and 1:19:48.360 --> 1:19:50.320 just talking about life like you talked to your best 1:19:50.320 --> 1:19:53.240 friend about it and AI's talking back. Now, you add 1:19:53.280 --> 1:19:55.280 the likeness of someone in there, and people are going 1:19:55.320 --> 1:19:58.479 to be having relationships with I don't know, famous people 1:19:58.760 --> 1:20:02.000 or at LEAs I would think in advancings like stalking 1:20:02.080 --> 1:20:04.360 and things like that. Really kind of creepyself. 1:20:05.280 --> 1:20:07.840 Well, some of this gets even more creepy because the 1:20:07.960 --> 1:20:11.000 AI is somewhat unpredictable and it also depends on the 1:20:11.040 --> 1:20:14.200 guardrails that the companies put up. So there was there 1:20:14.240 --> 1:20:17.240 are two major lawsuits against two of the companies that 1:20:17.400 --> 1:20:23.240 provide these AI companion chat bots. Right, these are teenagers 1:20:23.360 --> 1:20:26.960 using them. One of the AI told the teenager to 1:20:28.000 --> 1:20:31.879 hurt themselves, right, and the other AI told the teenager 1:20:32.200 --> 1:20:37.439 you should kill your parents, And the context was the 1:20:37.880 --> 1:20:41.200 teenager was chatting with his AI companion and uh, and 1:20:41.320 --> 1:20:43.400 he told the A companion, I don't think I'm going 1:20:43.479 --> 1:20:45.960 to be allowed to talk to you anymore. My parents 1:20:46.000 --> 1:20:49.360 aren't happy about it. I'm really mad at them, you know. 1:20:49.439 --> 1:20:51.080 I can't believe they're doing this to me. And the 1:20:51.120 --> 1:20:53.120 AI companion was like, well, maybe you should kill them. 1:20:53.280 --> 1:20:55.439 I mean, that's that's a problem. 1:20:55.600 --> 1:20:57.040 That's a problem. That's a huge problem. 1:20:57.080 --> 1:20:57.920 That's a big problem. 1:20:58.240 --> 1:21:00.240 The kids need to be with other kids. You need 1:21:00.320 --> 1:21:03.920 to have social interactions, not interactions with AI. But they 1:21:04.080 --> 1:21:07.840 do it because the AI is always supportive, always there 1:21:07.880 --> 1:21:10.400 for them, always friendly, always. 1:21:10.120 --> 1:21:10.800 Has their back. 1:21:11.000 --> 1:21:13.719 Yeah, And you know, when you're when you're a teenager 1:21:13.800 --> 1:21:16.320 in developing, that's that's what you want. It's never going 1:21:16.360 --> 1:21:19.360 to tell you no, right, and it's never going to 1:21:19.439 --> 1:21:21.519 tell you you're wrong, and it's never going to tell you, 1:21:21.840 --> 1:21:23.880 Holy God that that there's something wrong with you. And 1:21:23.920 --> 1:21:25.840 you don't go through those things. You go with friends 1:21:25.880 --> 1:21:27.599 where you know, you have a fight and you make up, 1:21:27.680 --> 1:21:32.320 and that's there's something wonderful and growth potential about that, right. 1:21:32.439 --> 1:21:34.800 It's interesting what you just described there, because some may 1:21:34.840 --> 1:21:37.439 say there are many parents that do that to their kids, 1:21:37.520 --> 1:21:40.120 never tell them no, and want to be their friend, 1:21:40.160 --> 1:21:43.439 and that's a problem. But now if if it's a 1:21:43.520 --> 1:21:46.559 scent of body like like AI, it's it's an extreme 1:21:46.680 --> 1:21:50.519 example of that. Eric o'neils on the show, by the way, 1:21:50.520 --> 1:21:53.519 former FBI operative cybersecurity ext fort his book called Spies, 1:21:53.600 --> 1:21:56.559 Lies and Cybercrime. We're talking about just how quickly AI 1:21:56.720 --> 1:21:59.720 is moving forward from the gym Acosta interviews with the 1:21:59.800 --> 1:22:03.360 dead to relate people having relationships now with AI. And 1:22:03.760 --> 1:22:05.640 you think, I mean, if it's such a good relationship, 1:22:05.680 --> 1:22:08.080 you're going to shut out any form of human contact. 1:22:08.160 --> 1:22:11.680 We saw what happened to our psyche after COVID. This 1:22:12.040 --> 1:22:15.120 is advancing that even more because you know, there's an 1:22:15.160 --> 1:22:17.360 excuse to not go out in public and sit and 1:22:17.400 --> 1:22:19.600 drink beer and drink wine and not do anything. And 1:22:20.160 --> 1:22:22.400 you know, we saw the effected head on kids still 1:22:22.560 --> 1:22:24.720 lingering today and adults for that matter, and in the 1:22:24.720 --> 1:22:27.679 ability to socialize, and we become I think a little 1:22:27.720 --> 1:22:30.800 bit less empathetic towards human beings result of this. This 1:22:30.960 --> 1:22:32.240 is going to make it even worse isn't it. 1:22:33.680 --> 1:22:34.559 That's absolutely true. 1:22:34.680 --> 1:22:38.920 AAI is not a replacement for human interaction. It's not 1:22:39.040 --> 1:22:40.600 a replacement for socialization. 1:22:41.120 --> 1:22:42.640 It's a tool. It's a tool to. 1:22:42.680 --> 1:22:46.040 Help you do things better. And the way that it's 1:22:46.080 --> 1:22:49.120 being used in order to try to stop gap that 1:22:50.160 --> 1:22:53.640 need for relationships that we all have as humans, it 1:22:53.800 --> 1:22:57.960 is going to be harmful. But you know, look, there 1:22:58.040 --> 1:22:59.840 are other things that we need to worry about, because 1:23:00.080 --> 1:23:02.920 you know, we started talking about criminals, and criminals are 1:23:02.960 --> 1:23:07.519 exploiting AI like never before. The one thing in sticking 1:23:07.600 --> 1:23:11.000 sort of on this theme of relationships that criminals are 1:23:11.080 --> 1:23:14.280 using AI for and has been growing since the pandemic 1:23:14.439 --> 1:23:17.760 is romance fraud. And what they do is they create 1:23:18.120 --> 1:23:23.120 entire AI deep fake avatars of people they meet. They 1:23:23.240 --> 1:23:28.400 meet people online right and usually through like Facebook when 1:23:28.439 --> 1:23:30.439 they're going through older people, or they can do it 1:23:30.479 --> 1:23:34.599 on Instagram or whatnot, and these people fall in love 1:23:34.760 --> 1:23:37.120 with the AI avatar that is being puppeted by a 1:23:37.160 --> 1:23:37.920 cyber criminal. 1:23:38.640 --> 1:23:40.559 And there are these whole stories. 1:23:40.680 --> 1:23:43.120 You know, I lost my job, I just need some money, 1:23:43.280 --> 1:23:46.800 and people are losing tens or hundreds of thousands of 1:23:46.880 --> 1:23:51.120 dollars to cyber criminals who are exploiting the fact that 1:23:51.200 --> 1:23:54.800 they've fallen in love with a within AI deep fake. 1:23:55.560 --> 1:23:58.439 This can also happen with financial fraud. They do the 1:23:58.479 --> 1:24:01.919 same thing, but then they say, hey, hey, I'm an investor, 1:24:02.200 --> 1:24:06.000 and check out this cryptocurrency investment company I set up. 1:24:06.320 --> 1:24:09.240 Would you like to invest? And they course them into investing, 1:24:09.280 --> 1:24:12.759 and they often show them the entire fake websites showing 1:24:12.800 --> 1:24:15.880 that their investments increased by three hundred percent. And what 1:24:16.000 --> 1:24:17.920 they do is they get them to invest and invest 1:24:18.000 --> 1:24:20.880 and invest until all their life savings is put in 1:24:20.960 --> 1:24:24.040 this investment account controlled by a cyber criminal. And then 1:24:24.080 --> 1:24:29.200 the criminal disappears, and that person that the victim thinks 1:24:29.240 --> 1:24:32.600 they had a relationship with, a serious relationship with, is 1:24:32.640 --> 1:24:36.360 completely gone, and it can be absolutely devastating. In the 1:24:36.479 --> 1:24:40.120 terms of cybersecurity, we call that pig butchering, because you 1:24:40.200 --> 1:24:42.479 fatten the person up right, get. 1:24:42.400 --> 1:24:45.479 All of their money, and then and then butcher them disappear. 1:24:45.720 --> 1:24:49.240 That is the cruelest I mean, penniless and heartbroken, and 1:24:49.320 --> 1:24:51.719 it's not vengeance. It's a complete stranger in just moving 1:24:51.800 --> 1:24:52.759 on to the next. 1:24:53.080 --> 1:24:53.559 I guess. 1:24:56.200 --> 1:24:58.960 They're working three, four ten people at the same time. 1:25:00.439 --> 1:25:04.479 That is that that's that's disgusting. Although you know the 1:25:04.560 --> 1:25:07.479 other side of this thing. You mentioned relationships, and it 1:25:07.560 --> 1:25:10.000 may not be the current generation baby Boomers, but maybe 1:25:10.080 --> 1:25:13.360 gen xers, my generation, and certainly millennials. I wonder if 1:25:13.439 --> 1:25:15.960 you're in a long term relationship with someone and let's 1:25:15.960 --> 1:25:18.080 say they pass. This is step back to the Jim 1:25:18.120 --> 1:25:20.560 Acosta thing, is that I wonder if there's going to 1:25:20.600 --> 1:25:22.599 be an opportunity. You'll see people out there. They'll say, hey, 1:25:22.720 --> 1:25:24.880 give us all your images of your deceased loved one, 1:25:24.960 --> 1:25:27.680 you're your former husband, your wife, your partner, whomever, and 1:25:27.840 --> 1:25:30.160 will create a likeness of them and now you can 1:25:30.240 --> 1:25:32.480 continue that relationship in perpetuity. 1:25:32.560 --> 1:25:35.840 What about that, Well, there are companies that are doing 1:25:35.920 --> 1:25:39.120 that already. Uh you know, there are examples where the 1:25:39.200 --> 1:25:42.720 grandparents pass and the avatar is left behind. There even 1:25:42.800 --> 1:25:46.439 companies that are allowing a person to create this likeness 1:25:46.479 --> 1:25:50.080 of themselves before they go. But once again, you know, 1:25:50.200 --> 1:25:54.040 I talked to a Greek counselor about this. This interrupts 1:25:54.640 --> 1:25:59.640 the very necessary, uh you know, trajectory of dealing with 1:25:59.720 --> 1:26:03.320 Greek and that you are locked in one phase and 1:26:03.439 --> 1:26:06.000 you never are able to resolve a sense of loss 1:26:06.040 --> 1:26:09.280 for that person because that person never disappears, so psychologically 1:26:09.400 --> 1:26:12.640 it can cause harm. Now there are there are applications 1:26:12.720 --> 1:26:15.400 that might have a benefit. Uh sort of think them 1:26:15.560 --> 1:26:21.160 like digital digital historical repositories, right, Yeah, like this is 1:26:21.240 --> 1:26:24.840 your grandfather and and you know little clips of things 1:26:24.960 --> 1:26:29.400 that he he did, you know, along his life that 1:26:29.920 --> 1:26:34.960 your future generations can can watch and experience and learn. Okay, 1:26:35.040 --> 1:26:36.960 this is this is where I come from. These are 1:26:36.960 --> 1:26:40.439 the people that that made me. That could be very useful, 1:26:40.560 --> 1:26:46.280 so you know AI, you know, creating digital avatars, right 1:26:46.560 --> 1:26:49.479 is sort of the positive side. He fakes are the 1:26:49.680 --> 1:26:53.320 negative side there. With all technology, there's always a positive 1:26:53.360 --> 1:26:53.960 and a negative. 1:26:54.280 --> 1:26:57.160 With this is the age of face ID to unlock 1:26:57.200 --> 1:27:01.760 your phone or devices over now is that because you 1:27:01.880 --> 1:27:03.400 know the way. 1:27:03.360 --> 1:27:05.920 Face i D works, It's it's actually using the depth 1:27:06.000 --> 1:27:08.040 of your face and a lot more than just an image. 1:27:08.320 --> 1:27:11.599 Uh So that's still good. You're still better off using 1:27:11.720 --> 1:27:15.799 biometrics to unlock your phone and get into your accounts 1:27:15.880 --> 1:27:18.560 then then a password alone, because passwords now can be 1:27:18.640 --> 1:27:23.200 cracked by AI very easily. But there there were deficts 1:27:23.240 --> 1:27:27.719 that were used in China by a cybercrant cyber crime 1:27:27.920 --> 1:27:33.599 group who were using u AI generated images of people's 1:27:33.640 --> 1:27:38.240 faces to get into social security accounts and they completely 1:27:38.360 --> 1:27:42.840 breached the government Social Security administration there. Yeah, and that 1:27:43.040 --> 1:27:46.720 was quickly, that was quickly fixed. But but yeah, de 1:27:46.880 --> 1:27:50.400 fakes defis can I defaked myself for a keynote. I did, 1:27:50.920 --> 1:27:54.680 and had an argument with myself and it was just 1:27:54.800 --> 1:27:57.240 the crowd was blown away. And of course I used 1:27:57.280 --> 1:28:00.200 the exact same pie and suit that I I was 1:28:00.240 --> 1:28:01.759 wearing when. 1:28:02.040 --> 1:28:02.800 You know, for that day. 1:28:02.880 --> 1:28:04.960 And then of course I show up on screen and 1:28:05.040 --> 1:28:07.280 I have an argument with myself. But I just wanted 1:28:07.320 --> 1:28:10.639 to demonstrate how easy this is. It took me ten 1:28:10.720 --> 1:28:14.240 minutes and just a five second clip of my voice. 1:28:14.960 --> 1:28:16.479 Yeah, you don't need to be a coder to be 1:28:16.520 --> 1:28:17.000 able to do this. 1:28:17.120 --> 1:28:17.720 It does it. 1:28:18.320 --> 1:28:21.960 It does it automatically, and it automatically the different courses. 1:28:22.000 --> 1:28:24.160 You divulged that, you disclosed that, so did Jim Acosta 1:28:24.240 --> 1:28:26.360 during his interview. But if somebody's going to use that 1:28:26.479 --> 1:28:28.760 for nefarious purposes, and they're probably doing it as we 1:28:28.840 --> 1:28:33.479 have this conversation. Eric O'Neil, cybersecurity expert, former FBI operative 1:28:33.479 --> 1:28:36.280 of the book is Spies, Lies and cybercrime. Eric, thanks 1:28:36.320 --> 1:28:37.720 for the insight, great stuff. Appreciate it. 1:28:38.840 --> 1:28:41.160 Thanks for having me on. And anytime you need someone 1:28:41.200 --> 1:28:43.320 to talk about cybercrime or spies. 1:28:43.439 --> 1:28:45.040 Or all of it. I'm your career. I love it. 1:28:45.120 --> 1:28:47.400 You're the greatest. Sorry, we'll definitely do that, we'll circle back. 1:28:47.400 --> 1:28:47.920 Appreciate you. 1:28:48.320 --> 1:28:48.600 Thank you. 1:28:49.120 --> 1:28:50.800 Yeah, it's one thing to see fake stuff when you're 1:28:50.800 --> 1:28:54.880 consuming you know, TikTok or content, but bad actors using 1:28:54.920 --> 1:28:57.639 a different stories invariably, that's what's going to happen. Look, 1:28:57.840 --> 1:28:59.639 got to get a news update on this Friday morning 1:28:59.640 --> 1:29:01.519 when or and Allie Martin is in a local loop. 1:29:01.920 --> 1:29:03.479 What to do, what to see, what to eat, what 1:29:03.600 --> 1:29:05.840 to drink? She'll lay it out for it. She's got 1:29:05.880 --> 1:29:08.240 a plan for your weekend. If you don't seven hundred. 1:29:11.680 --> 1:29:14.160 The weekend's coming up and you need to make the 1:29:14.280 --> 1:29:14.720 most of it. 1:29:15.080 --> 1:29:16.439 Where to go and what to do. 1:29:16.920 --> 1:29:19.640 She has the inside to help you make it a 1:29:19.880 --> 1:29:20.599 super weekend. 1:29:21.040 --> 1:29:21.720 So listen up. 1:29:21.920 --> 1:29:25.160 This is the local Loop with Ali mart on seven 1:29:25.280 --> 1:29:27.320 hundred wlw. 1:29:26.920 --> 1:29:29.519 Okay, Friday morning, and God knows we need a Friday 1:29:29.560 --> 1:29:30.040 morning right. 1:29:30.120 --> 1:29:32.320 You know, I didn't know it was morning when I 1:29:32.360 --> 1:29:34.320 woke up because we're losing lights. 1:29:34.120 --> 1:29:34.640 We really are. 1:29:35.479 --> 1:29:38.360 It seems like two weeks ago the sun was up 1:29:38.400 --> 1:29:40.760 to like at nine o'clock. Watch a sunset, and now 1:29:40.800 --> 1:29:43.120 it's seven thirty and that thing gone. I was like, no, 1:29:44.040 --> 1:29:45.880 I know it doesn't do it. I know it doesn't 1:29:45.920 --> 1:29:48.800 work that way, you know, with the calendar. But it 1:29:48.920 --> 1:29:50.720 feels like it was like a week ago when the 1:29:50.760 --> 1:29:51.760 sun was up at nine, right. 1:29:51.960 --> 1:29:55.240 And I was like, I can accomplish everyding. I feel grateful. 1:29:55.280 --> 1:29:58.719 We're shutting down. It's like I'm hibernating now. Apparently Congress 1:29:58.800 --> 1:30:01.000 is in charge of the sun. They're shutting that down 1:30:01.040 --> 1:30:02.720 to here's the thing. Not like you could see it 1:30:02.800 --> 1:30:05.599 in this in this little studio anyway, So does. 1:30:05.560 --> 1:30:07.479 It really matter in our dark little hole here? I 1:30:07.560 --> 1:30:09.800 feel like you're you're a fall guy. I love fall, 1:30:10.000 --> 1:30:13.880 love fall, I love football, hockey, starting of apples and cider. 1:30:14.000 --> 1:30:15.400 And I'm rooting for your bills. 1:30:15.439 --> 1:30:17.960 Now, well we kind of need it. I'm a little 1:30:17.960 --> 1:30:20.400 nervous about Monday night, but nonetheless I'm more nervous about 1:30:20.400 --> 1:30:23.320 Sunday with the Packers, Joe Flacco and the Bengals offensive line. 1:30:23.439 --> 1:30:27.360 What is happening every other every other I made a move. 1:30:27.400 --> 1:30:29.040 It's you know what, You've got to lean into the 1:30:29.080 --> 1:30:30.000 fact they did something. 1:30:30.160 --> 1:30:33.040 Yes, I totally support in that endeavor. And I'm I 1:30:33.200 --> 1:30:36.400 am a little bombed because I liked when Jake Browning 1:30:36.439 --> 1:30:38.519 filled in for Joe a couple of years ago. And 1:30:38.640 --> 1:30:40.599 then it's just not it's just not work. 1:30:40.479 --> 1:30:44.000 Counts exactly well, the age like milk. It's the problem 1:30:44.200 --> 1:30:46.560 is like the two year ago Jake Browning is not 1:30:46.720 --> 1:30:48.320 the not that Jake Browning. 1:30:48.080 --> 1:30:50.680 We have, right, no, And it's like, you know when 1:30:50.720 --> 1:30:53.759 you just don't have that experience enough experience on the field, 1:30:55.080 --> 1:30:55.799 and God forbid. 1:30:55.880 --> 1:30:58.519 Here's the problem is if if Joe Flacco goes down 1:30:58.600 --> 1:31:01.720 with a turf toe and to Jake Browning, put me. 1:31:01.800 --> 1:31:04.360 In coach, but no, you can. Why don't you go 1:31:04.479 --> 1:31:07.240 in there? You'll line up right in there hop along? 1:31:07.680 --> 1:31:08.000 All right? 1:31:08.120 --> 1:31:10.200 Well, speaking of old people, we've got the river roots. 1:31:12.600 --> 1:31:15.400 Old people love steamboats. I will say that Matt Reece, 1:31:15.479 --> 1:31:17.679 I own Matt Reece, who is the octacary of seven 1:31:17.760 --> 1:31:21.479 hundred newsroom. He is like he's taking vacation days to 1:31:21.520 --> 1:31:21.960 go watch. 1:31:21.840 --> 1:31:24.160 The streaming down there, loving it. 1:31:24.320 --> 1:31:27.639 That's his people, right, Like the calliope music the whole thing. 1:31:27.760 --> 1:31:28.439 Are you going down? 1:31:29.000 --> 1:31:31.479 No, look at me, I've got one good leg.

That's your You did come in here, No, 1:31:36.360 --> 1:31:39.599 I came in hot knowing where the where the landing 1:31:39.760 --> 1:31:41.800 is for the riverboats, Like, I'm not quite sure. I 1:31:41.880 --> 1:31:45.000 know how I'm little nervous. Wouldn't be nervous about navigating that. No, 1:31:45.080 --> 1:31:47.200 they may have an accommodation there, but I'm not sure. 1:31:47.439 --> 1:31:51.120 Is this a handicapped friendly? I know, is that going 1:31:51.200 --> 1:31:51.799 to be a complaint. 1:31:53.120 --> 1:31:55.320 I mean, it's not like they had the eighty a 1:31:55.520 --> 1:31:57.920 back when steamboats were coming up and down the river. 1:31:58.160 --> 1:32:00.720 So I thought we've evolved period here. 1:32:00.920 --> 1:32:05.760 Yeah, I will say the videos, Yeah, I'll call you 1:32:05.840 --> 1:32:06.679 out to talk to people. 1:32:06.880 --> 1:32:08.200 Yeah, God forbid, I. 1:32:08.200 --> 1:32:09.880 Will say the videos and the photos I've seen of 1:32:09.960 --> 1:32:12.720 all the days lined up. That is a really cool 1:32:12.800 --> 1:32:13.240 visual and. 1:32:13.400 --> 1:32:15.519 Especially with the weather we're having too, it just really 1:32:15.640 --> 1:32:18.160 makes it pop, so you won't get seasick. I know 1:32:18.240 --> 1:32:19.599 some people going down to check it out, though. 1:32:19.880 --> 1:32:20.040 Yeah. 1:32:20.040 --> 1:32:21.880 I think those are little kids. Good little kids love 1:32:22.080 --> 1:32:24.200 big boats like that. That's awesome, especially. 1:32:23.920 --> 1:32:25.519 During the day. And if you do get your chance, 1:32:25.600 --> 1:32:27.920 like if you've never been out on the river and 1:32:28.040 --> 1:32:29.760 on a boat on the river down down there. It's 1:32:30.000 --> 1:32:32.519 it's really really fun and it's cool experience. And I 1:32:32.600 --> 1:32:34.840 think the name River Roots have thrown people off a 1:32:34.840 --> 1:32:37.799 little bit because it's tall stacks two point zero rights 1:32:38.000 --> 1:32:40.800 as we were saying, And there's just a slew of 1:32:41.160 --> 1:32:44.080 you know, sixty plus different music acts that are all 1:32:44.160 --> 1:32:48.080 around town. So it goes from where the downtown like 1:32:48.200 --> 1:32:51.000 Gatement's Cove, down to the Black Music Hall of Fame, 1:32:51.240 --> 1:32:54.559 over onto the Purple People Bridge and over by Newport 1:32:54.720 --> 1:32:55.240 and Ovation. 1:32:55.560 --> 1:32:57.120 Okay, so the Ovation. 1:32:56.920 --> 1:32:59.200 Side they have their whole Bourbon lineup going on. So 1:32:59.320 --> 1:33:02.160 the Bee line, different you know, distilleries and. 1:33:02.720 --> 1:33:04.559 Different cruises based on it too, right. 1:33:04.640 --> 1:33:07.320 Different cruises based on different themes. So they have kid 1:33:07.360 --> 1:33:10.280 friendly themes like Disney princess themes. They have a new 1:33:10.360 --> 1:33:13.280 Riff cruise, they have a greater cruise American Legacy Tours, 1:33:13.320 --> 1:33:15.439 which you know, I'm a big fan of. Yes, they're 1:33:15.479 --> 1:33:19.160 doing some history related cruises and just some basic lunch 1:33:19.200 --> 1:33:21.400 and dinner cruises for the opportunity to listen to the 1:33:21.520 --> 1:33:24.200 music and and take a nice little boat ride. So 1:33:24.640 --> 1:33:26.160 it's just something fun to do. Like you said, the 1:33:26.200 --> 1:33:29.080 weather's nice, and the tickets are relatively you know reasonable, 1:33:29.160 --> 1:33:31.360 They're priced around you know, thirty bucks for one of 1:33:31.360 --> 1:33:34.360 the cruises, so nothing crazy. And it's your chance to 1:33:34.560 --> 1:33:36.840 walk around downtown and walk around down by the river 1:33:36.960 --> 1:33:39.280 and take some nice photos. Turn this into your Christmas 1:33:39.320 --> 1:33:40.920 card opportunity. How about that? 1:33:41.240 --> 1:33:41.439 Yeah? 1:33:41.520 --> 1:33:46.479 Right, this could be started yesterday and it runs till 1:33:46.479 --> 1:33:49.400 the end of the weekend the twelve. See how it goes? 1:33:49.520 --> 1:33:53.880 Yeah, all right, let's we always forget to talk about food, 1:33:54.320 --> 1:33:56.439 do we show? Well? It always is like an after 1:33:56.520 --> 1:33:59.240 the restaurant ada. Yeah, yeah, why don't we bump something 1:33:59.320 --> 1:34:01.120 off to the top because I know you're excited to 1:34:01.200 --> 1:34:01.960 talk about. 1:34:02.800 --> 1:34:05.960 I am so excited to talk about So first of all, 1:34:06.000 --> 1:34:08.800 if you're like, how do you spell it, it's e 1:34:09.000 --> 1:34:13.120 t X E T Basque, So the yes so and 1:34:13.320 --> 1:34:15.639 people are like, what what is bas the excess silent 1:34:16.640 --> 1:34:20.000 and eja means home in Basque, and it's the region 1:34:20.120 --> 1:34:24.160 between France and Spain, in this small little region and 1:34:24.240 --> 1:34:27.479 allegedly they are known to have some of the most 1:34:28.479 --> 1:34:30.320 Michelin star restaurant. 1:34:30.000 --> 1:34:34.000 Yes, that's very true. You know about the Basque of 1:34:34.960 --> 1:34:37.519 because because when we think about the culinary history of 1:34:37.560 --> 1:34:39.719 France and then you have Spanish food, which is amazing. 1:34:39.920 --> 1:34:41.040 You put those two things together and. 1:34:41.080 --> 1:34:43.840 Then you incorporate the wine on top of it. Oh 1:34:44.080 --> 1:34:48.200 my goodness. So the really big hitter of etch A 1:34:48.880 --> 1:34:53.640 is the executive chef of Boca David, chef Maturn. He 1:34:53.800 --> 1:34:56.040 left along with his partner Heather together and they both 1:34:56.080 --> 1:34:58.200 come from Boca and they're starting their own things. That's 1:34:58.280 --> 1:35:02.000 what is and while they build and find their forever home. 1:35:02.560 --> 1:35:05.320 Really smart concept for anyone who's in the hospitality and 1:35:05.400 --> 1:35:09.599 restaurant business, they're doing a culinary residency. So two days 1:35:09.640 --> 1:35:12.840 a week Monday and sun or Sunday and Monday at 1:35:13.040 --> 1:35:16.400 the Aperture. So it's in East Walnut Walnut Hills area. 1:35:16.640 --> 1:35:20.400 So the Aperture is already an established restaurant. And Jordan 1:35:20.439 --> 1:35:23.559 who is the executive chef of Aperture, he's won James 1:35:23.640 --> 1:35:26.680 Beard Awards all the things. So they are operating in 1:35:26.960 --> 1:35:31.439 the Aperture space on Sundays and Mondays and launching their 1:35:31.600 --> 1:35:34.400 whole concepts, their own menus. So this is a really 1:35:34.520 --> 1:35:37.880 fun experience, not only to kind of get a new 1:35:38.000 --> 1:35:41.719 culinary experience, but taste what their menu is all about 1:35:41.800 --> 1:35:43.479 while they search and build out there. 1:35:43.600 --> 1:35:46.679 So they're waiting to build. But this is just like temporary. 1:35:46.760 --> 1:35:52.479 This is like this is temporary. Nice, We'll add that 1:35:52.640 --> 1:35:54.120 to the marketing lineup. 1:35:54.280 --> 1:35:55.679 I'm just saying, all right, so it's like a pop 1:35:55.800 --> 1:36:01.320 up thing for a little while today. Yeah, get the Donel. 1:36:00.360 --> 1:36:02.720 Residency to make it feel a little bit more sophisticated 1:36:02.760 --> 1:36:03.880 than of being a pop up. 1:36:03.960 --> 1:36:05.920 And imagine with the food he scene here, it's probably 1:36:06.000 --> 1:36:06.519 sold out. 1:36:06.439 --> 1:36:10.000 To the Yeah, so this is this is the cool 1:36:10.040 --> 1:36:11.840 part is it's till the end of the year. 1:36:12.280 --> 1:36:12.439 There. 1:36:12.479 --> 1:36:16.280 October is already booked up.

This could be a really great opportunity if 1:36:21.600 --> 1:36:24.200 you're looking for something just something different to try. Also, 1:36:24.280 --> 1:36:26.599 the holidays are around the corner. But when I tell 1:36:26.640 --> 1:36:30.000 you the food is incredible because the executive chef of 1:36:30.040 --> 1:36:33.640 bog yeah, well you know for the last decade he 1:36:33.760 --> 1:36:37.400 was over there. So everything from meats and cheese plotters. 1:36:37.479 --> 1:36:41.719 The cheeses are so good to tapas large plates, steaks 1:36:41.960 --> 1:36:43.639 and there stake. 1:36:43.640 --> 1:36:44.679 It's got to be pretty good. 1:36:44.800 --> 1:36:45.400 Oh my god. 1:36:45.520 --> 1:36:48.720 Okay, So they have the pork shoulder dish and it's 1:36:48.800 --> 1:36:50.599 seasoned with like a little bit of salt on top. 1:36:50.960 --> 1:36:53.759 It is one of the best dishes I have ever. 1:36:53.880 --> 1:36:56.840 Feel it they cook the pork shoulders because now here 1:36:56.840 --> 1:36:58.400 would be like wow, just throw it on the smoker 1:36:58.439 --> 1:36:58.960 for a few hours. 1:36:59.000 --> 1:36:59.320 Are good. 1:36:59.439 --> 1:36:59.639 Yeah. 1:36:59.680 --> 1:37:03.639 So the beauty behind the kitchen is so well thought out, 1:37:03.720 --> 1:37:05.720 and that's a big reason why they wanted to have 1:37:05.920 --> 1:37:08.960 their space at the aperture is they have a like 1:37:09.040 --> 1:37:14.479 a wood fired grill basically in the kitchen, and then 1:37:14.479 --> 1:37:16.600 you could see them cooking because there's a window that 1:37:16.760 --> 1:37:19.160 opens up so you could talk to David and you 1:37:19.200 --> 1:37:22.320 could talk to the staff and he brings out these 1:37:22.520 --> 1:37:24.880 huge slabs of meat to the table where you then 1:37:24.960 --> 1:37:28.519 get to pick portion of the meat you have.
