Speaker 1: I don't want to be an American idiot.
Speaker 2: Slowly here on seven hundred Wright Trump Hurricane Trump blowing?
Speaker 2: Is Switzerland different? Davos is all upside down't know what
Speaker 2: to bay. They're like, what do we make of this guy?
Speaker 3: We don't know.
Speaker 2: You got tariffs, you got Greenland, he got so much more.
Speaker 2: The big question, of course, then is how this impacts us.
Speaker 2: And a new study shows US tariffs anyway not good.
Speaker 2: Dominic Misserendino on the show Retail techmedianexus dot COM's website, Dominic,
Speaker 2: good morning, How are.
Speaker 3: You doing well? How are you doing that?
Speaker 2: I'm doing well. There's a lot going on. You got
Speaker 2: Trump cutting off the head of the beast in Iran,
Speaker 2: the straight of hor moves. Oil prices are going berserk.
Speaker 2: And on the tariff front, auto tariffs, the auto industry
Speaker 2: reporting thirty five billion in losses so far, with more
Speaker 2: to come than I say, and so it's definitely hit
Speaker 2: to the manufacturing industry as well. And on that is
Speaker 2: our buddy, Dominic Miserindino and Dominic. Since this has been
Speaker 2: going wrong, we've learned that exporters and that'd be the
Speaker 2: guys over there, only pay for about four percent of
Speaker 2: the tariffs. The rest is on the American consumer. We
Speaker 2: heard the Supreme Court ruling and struck this down. Where's
Speaker 2: it all going?
Speaker 3: Well, first, thanks for the questions all that intro. You know,
Speaker 3: one has to consider what is a tariff. And the
Speaker 3: tariff is tax on the goods coming in the door.
Speaker 3: It's not as if the other country is paying it
Speaker 3: or the other person sending it over. It's the importer.
Speaker 3: And if an importer is receiving this goods and going
Speaker 3: to sell them on he's getting his t shirts in
Speaker 3: for ten bucks or his coffee in, he's not likely
Speaker 3: going to say I will just absorb that tax right
Speaker 3: and enjoy it for the fun.
Speaker 2: You can for a while. But it's not sustainable in
Speaker 2: the long term.
Speaker 4: Not at all.
Speaker 3: And in certain cases, not only that, the margin just
Speaker 3: isn't there. When you're buying your fifteen dollars for a
Speaker 3: pound of coffee, at one point you just have to
Speaker 3: pay the guy to pick the coffee, grow the beans.
Speaker 3: It's not as if it's dock a dollar, and yet
Speaker 3: magically it's fourteen dollars the profit. So when you do
Speaker 3: have these tariffs, generally speaking, they're higher than the profit margin.
Speaker 3: So if you're running a business and your job is
Speaker 3: importing coffee beans and you have a tariff slapped on that,
Speaker 3: you're going to raise the price. There's just no other choice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have to. And that's why inflation is
Speaker 2: where it is. I mean, it's sticky. The I think
Speaker 2: the Chairman of the Fed, Jerom Powell, said that they
Speaker 2: expect things to maybe level off here and it's starting
Speaker 2: to go down slightly slowly, but it's going to be
Speaker 2: in long slog until we burn off some of this
Speaker 2: tariff stuff. So on that when it comes to the
Speaker 2: retail environment that we all have to participating as American consumers.
Speaker 2: If you do a deep dive on this study that
Speaker 2: came out that said ninety six cents of every dollar's
Speaker 2: paid for paid by American consumers and the tariffs, I
Speaker 2: guess you see trade volumes. The volume collapses, but the
Speaker 2: price is stay high. So does that simply mean that
Speaker 2: certain product categories have been discontinued or limited because of
Speaker 2: the aras and we just like we dwindled the supply,
Speaker 2: maybe not of quantity, but of choices. Does it eliminate choices?
Speaker 3: Consumers still love choices, but it eliminates choices in terms
Speaker 3: of demand. If you're going to go to Starbucks, you're
Speaker 3: not necessarily going to buy that coffee where the beans
Speaker 3: are so super rare. When it's forty five dollars a pound.
Speaker 3: After a while, you're going to start chooting. You saw
Speaker 3: this recently with the car manufacturers saying, you know, the
Speaker 3: importing the luxury cars because the average consumer is going
Speaker 3: to say, I don't want to spend that much. Once
Speaker 3: that price goes up, the choice of luxuries starts getting
Speaker 3: hit too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, some of this stuff feels luxurious. I've seen some
Speaker 2: of you. Well, our buddy John John from our Sisters
Speaker 2: station in kiss Oo seven, I saw him yesterday and
Speaker 2: he had a bag of the mushroom coffee. I've heard
Speaker 2: about it and ever seen it live in the real
Speaker 2: world before. And I said, ah, man, I'm coffee so
Speaker 2: expensive right now? Is that a good alternative? He said, no,
Speaker 2: it's like forty five bucks a bag for some mind.
Speaker 2: What the I'm like, I guess there's still some first
Speaker 2: roll of problems out there. Despite the economy.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, people will still do it. And will
Speaker 3: he do it every day? Will he do it every week?
Speaker 2: It's kind of dumb. He probably will.
Speaker 3: Well that's a different story, you know. Then that's an
Speaker 3: intelligence issue going on and that. But there is a
Speaker 3: truth to that. If there is somebody who has the
Speaker 3: budget for such things, yes they are not impacted. If
Speaker 3: you are a billionaire, you're not really worrying about the
Speaker 3: type of coffee you're buying. The average guy covering the
Speaker 3: average bills, he's worried and some of these paraffs. Keep
Speaker 3: in mind, the premise normally is please get manufacturing back
Speaker 3: to the United States.
Speaker 2: So what categories do you see that are primed to
Speaker 2: bring back here. I mean, there's some that are simply
Speaker 2: not going to come right. We've got to acknowledge that.
Speaker 3: And there's exactly that's one of many problems I think
Speaker 3: that we're seeing is that Number one, is it the
Speaker 3: direct motives? Number two, are we hitting products that we
Speaker 3: can even bring back to the United States? Coffee, I
Speaker 3: keep on quoting, because you can't bring that back. There's
Speaker 3: just there's no back. There's no way to grow a
Speaker 3: book feed. No, there's certain chemicals, there are certain manufacturing
Speaker 3: I remember reading an article of people in West Virginia saying,
Speaker 3: we don't want to have our grandkids work in the
Speaker 3: mind that we did that, the different mindsets, sometimes you
Speaker 3: don't want it back. And also keep in mind tariffs
Speaker 3: smooth holey like, there's been historical precedent where people don't
Speaker 3: really love tariffs. They don't work out so well historically speaking.
Speaker 3: But it was a campaign promise, so now it's being
Speaker 3: used for multiple motives. And when you don't know what
Speaker 3: that motive is, it's very hard for the markets to readjust.
Speaker 2: Which is why we see all this volatility, the green one,
Speaker 2: everything else. We just don't know what's going to happen tomorrow,
Speaker 2: and markets hate that. They like certainty, inconsistency, They hate
Speaker 2: what's happening here relative to volatility. If you have a
Speaker 2: product like Brazil any other countries with a fifty percent
Speaker 2: plus teriff, right you kind of touched on a little bit,
Speaker 2: But are there domestic alternatives or non tariff suppliers from
Speaker 2: other countries? Are we starting to find.
Speaker 3: That depends on the product. And the other minor issue
Speaker 3: is depends also on the complexity of the product. You're
Speaker 3: talking about supply chains and a very elaborate supply chain
Speaker 3: system that has been created over years. So car manufacturer
Speaker 3: and You've discussed that that takes years to build a
Speaker 3: factory iPhones. You don't necessarily hear about new iPhone factories
Speaker 3: being made in the US because it takes a good
Speaker 3: degree your time. So with that in mind, it is
Speaker 3: a mechanism that requires a good degree of time, and
Speaker 3: people do want to be aligned to know why are
Speaker 3: we doing this?
Speaker 5: Potentially, yeah, what.
Speaker 2: About something like clothing? For example? Is that I mean
Speaker 2: we have cotton? Where are we able to manufacture clothing?
Speaker 2: Take some of this stuff back?
Speaker 3: All this in theory could be done because the other
Speaker 3: question begs, we're used to going on Amazon buying a
Speaker 3: shirt for five dollars? How are you going to possibly
Speaker 3: do that in America with a fifteen to twenty dollars
Speaker 3: hour minimum wage in most areas, it's not going to happen.
Speaker 3: So the costs on the consumer. We're used to this
Speaker 3: Amazon team world. Where does that go?
Speaker 2: Well, some of us might say, go, well, you go
Speaker 2: back to the old days. We made everything. It was
Speaker 2: larger because of World War Two, Right, we're the only
Speaker 2: giant left stand. We became a giant and everyone else,
Speaker 2: you know, the European economy was in shambles because of
Speaker 2: the war, Russia was not a player, India, China, and
Speaker 2: they were all prehistoric colonies. But at that point a
Speaker 2: lot of people haven't got anywhere near. So we've made
Speaker 2: everything for the rest of the world because the infrastructure
Speaker 2: was wiped out. So we got fat, happy and complacent
Speaker 2: in the fifties, in a part of the sixties, and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden by the seventies, like the
Speaker 2: Japanese came around with the auto industry. We started to
Speaker 2: see that turn. So it's easy to unravel it and go, hey,
Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna bring up the rest of the world.
Speaker 2: We're gonna see prices drop resultless. But now we got
Speaker 2: to the point where dependent on those foreign goods, you
Speaker 2: can go one way, but you can't go back to
Speaker 2: the way it was. You can't put the toothpaste back
Speaker 2: in the tube and bring those jobs back here because
Speaker 2: the cost of a T shirt would be like four
Speaker 2: hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: Well, the next question to me is do we want
Speaker 3: that we had manufacturing here? Did we necessarily love having
Speaker 3: factories all over? Right? We turned into a service towards
Speaker 3: the economy yep, And you know, we turned into the
Speaker 3: brains of the world. Developing stuff. If you look at
Speaker 3: the top biggest companies Facebook, Twitter, you know, all social media,
Speaker 3: our movie industry, we're not necessarily building U stuff. But
Speaker 3: that said, we are the guys organizing and creating that service,
Speaker 3: does that and want to change? Do we truly want
Speaker 3: to have more coal factories or more this, or do
Speaker 3: we enjoy ordering that stuff in the door? And yet
Speaker 3: you know, having that privilege so to speak.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that's also reflect that's also reflected back.
Speaker 2: Like kids, for example, used to be well, what do
Speaker 2: you want to be? I want to be? Uh, I
Speaker 2: don't know, I want to be an astronaut, right, don't
Speaker 2: be a firefighter on being okay? And what kids want
Speaker 2: to be influencers today?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: Those are other service jobs? Did you agree? But largely
Speaker 2: it was like and no one says, hey, you don't
Speaker 2: I own to dig ditches from our life. Okay, it
Speaker 2: just happens. But and we need those two to quote
Speaker 2: Judge mails. But nonetheless, kids today want to be influencers.
Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure you're that's a reflection of our
Speaker 2: culture right now. We don't want to work harder, we
Speaker 2: want arc smarter.
Speaker 3: Yes, and that's what also is it change too. Where
Speaker 3: we became the country that people are immigrating to educating
Speaker 3: our population. Now we're having a brain drain of people
Speaker 3: saying I'm not going to America, I'm not going to
Speaker 3: trade to America, and that in turn does affect people
Speaker 3: trying to learn or people trying to trade. If we're
Speaker 3: running a business based on service, trade and the ability
Speaker 3: to go country to country is vital to that.
Speaker 2: It seems like a while back and it really wasn't,
Speaker 2: but in this current climate, every every day feels like
Speaker 2: a year that Trump said, hey, listen, we want Greenland,
Speaker 2: and that kind of fizzled out. We then bomb the
Speaker 2: hell out of Iran and I lost no sleep knowing that.
Speaker 2: But the Iola was taken out and granted his son's
Speaker 2: coming up. He may be injured. Who knows what's happening
Speaker 2: in Iran. We need a strategy there because we're clearly
Speaker 2: not getting help from our alleged allies. They don't want
Speaker 2: any part of this whole thing. We're now talking about
Speaker 2: taking over Cuba, and there's a lot of lip service,
Speaker 2: of course, but overall, you know, you got to look
Speaker 2: at the big picture. In America, we are still the
Speaker 2: King of the mount It's going to take a while.
Speaker 2: It could take a lot of effort to knock us
Speaker 2: off of there because of our GDP and just what
Speaker 2: we bring to the west of the world. So we've
Speaker 2: got to keep this in perspective. But there's a real
Speaker 2: danger here though, right and.
Speaker 3: How it's a ripple effect and the more we demand things,
Speaker 3: for example, Greenland, et cetera, you're having other countries they
Speaker 3: can we trust America? Can we deal with America? Is
Speaker 3: America the lead? How does America say, please don't invade Taiwan.
Speaker 3: We're discussing this. But in addition trade One of the
Speaker 3: most successful campaigns I think America did during was when
Speaker 3: we World War Two. We gave about bubblegum as soldiers
Speaker 3: and everyone tasted Wrigley in Hershey's and became a brand name.
Speaker 3: It wasn't as if the product was better nor worse,
Speaker 3: but the brand was there and everyone wanted to feel American.
Speaker 3: What happens when that changes. You're seeing it now in Kentucky.
Speaker 3: Whiskey is going down because people do not want that.
Speaker 3: That has that ripple effect.
Speaker 5: One interesting saber rattling effects.
Speaker 2: The other yeah, yeah, kind of the inverse is true.
Speaker 2: I guess you know, back the soldiers coming home from
Speaker 2: World War Two, they brought like Italian pizza wasn't a
Speaker 2: thing until they came back from overseas and Italian food
Speaker 2: took off. I mean just a small example, but you
Speaker 2: know works both ways. You your culture influences others. Coca
Speaker 2: Cola took off globally for that that same reason.
Speaker 3: And these products that take off Coca Cola, McDonald's, taco bell.
Speaker 2: Spam is spam and a right, yeah.
Speaker 3: Exactly, but are they necessarily the best product? Meaning are
Speaker 3: you going to eat McDonald's coke and talk about and
Speaker 3: become the healthiest human in the planet or are we
Speaker 3: doing it because we want to feel good? And if
Speaker 3: that feel good is gone or affected, maybe the feeling changes.
Speaker 3: Maybe you have a negative feeling and you're seeing that
Speaker 3: Kentucky whiskey that is down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. Well, start with Canada and elsewhere. So
Speaker 2: the research in the study by the way, Dominic, miuz Erandino,
Speaker 2: ninety six percent of tariff costs fall on US American consumers.
Speaker 2: So ninety six cents of every dollar when it comes
Speaker 2: to these tariffs are falling on the American Consumerly in
Speaker 2: fourth CeNSE of that dollar, four percent are observed by
Speaker 2: foreign exporters, and so we're seeing that two hundred billion
Speaker 2: and customs revenue come back to us, and it's our
Speaker 2: money to begin with, according to the study. Whether you
Speaker 2: agree or disagree, I'll go with the research. And it
Speaker 2: also shows its supply chains are sticky, so you know,
Speaker 2: we'll just hey, we'll just switch supply. You can't really
Speaker 2: do what's the real last timeline for first switch and suppliers.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're in that business dominic. It's from I
Speaker 2: understand it's damn near impossible.
Speaker 3: It depends on what I know. Some situations are impossible.
Speaker 3: I know a sunglasses manufacturer that wants the artisans who
Speaker 3: are based in Italy, so she's like, I can't get
Speaker 3: them to come over and magically teach those skills to
Speaker 3: people here in America. That's not gonna work. Other cases, yes,
Speaker 3: but we go back to that example of coffee. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that is impossible. You cannot magically make coffee appear and
Speaker 3: grow in places it can't grow. You're not going to
Speaker 3: grow coffee in the Midwest, right, not going to happen.
Speaker 3: So it does depend entirely on the product itself. But
Speaker 3: the other challenge is one thing relates to the other.
Speaker 3: So if you're building cars, you might have a factory
Speaker 3: here where you still need to get the rubber in
Speaker 3: without growing rubber trees in Ohio. You know, it's just
Speaker 3: not going to happen.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, And it's kind of a slow slog here,
Speaker 2: and you hope, like at some point you see a payoff.
Speaker 2: And of course we demand instant gratification here in the West.
Speaker 2: That's another part of the problem too. You know when
Speaker 2: the president on the trail says on day one, I'm
Speaker 2: going to fix all the stuff, and here it is
Speaker 2: a year later and it's not you know that that
Speaker 2: just feeds that instant demand on demand side, whereas a
Speaker 2: lot of the rest of the world, not all of it,
Speaker 2: but they are more of a slow plu. I mean
Speaker 2: you look at the Middle East, right though, China, everything else,
Speaker 2: it's a long slow boils what it is. That's a
Speaker 2: whole different mindset, and you know, our on demand society
Speaker 2: here in America doesn't mesh up with that.
Speaker 3: Well. Keep in mind, we have moved from a regional
Speaker 3: economy to a global We are used to getting goods
Speaker 3: that we really should not normally have gotten. If you're
Speaker 3: sitting in Ohio, you're sitting in the Midwest, you're used
Speaker 3: to getting product on TIMU in three minutes. But if
Speaker 3: you think historically, that's not a norm that you would
Speaker 3: just go online press a button. It was revolutionary when
Speaker 3: we did this year's Robach catalog fifty years ago and
Speaker 3: you could ship something over in weeks, and we moved
Speaker 3: from that to an economy where we're getting it in
Speaker 3: hours at times. It's a very elaborate system we've gotten
Speaker 3: used to, and the challenge with that begs we're used
Speaker 3: to it, what are we as American consumers willing to accept.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm walking around. If you walk around one's
Speaker 3: own home and you see simple things chemicals or cleaning products,
Speaker 3: that is the global economy in which of those products
Speaker 3: that you see in your home are not based in
Speaker 3: the middle Not.
Speaker 2: Many, not many. And we'll leave it at that. Dominic.
Speaker 2: Miss Rendino's the CEO of Retail Tech Media and AXUS
Speaker 2: Rtmnexus dot com. Uh following everything in the retail sector
Speaker 2: relative to the terror SOMNA call the best. Thanks for
Speaker 2: jumping on this morning.
Speaker 5: Appreciate you amazing, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: Bottom line, the costs of everything today is way more
Speaker 2: expensive and off the charts for a lot of people.
Speaker 2: I saw this story too. I should have pointed out
Speaker 2: that a record number of Americans are tapping into their
Speaker 2: four oh one CA's early and we're carrying a huge
Speaker 2: amount of credit card debt. At some point, it's got
Speaker 2: to give. It's got to give h the latest on
Speaker 2: the war efforts in Iran and what our move is,
Speaker 2: what's our off ramp. We can't get help from the
Speaker 2: rest of the Western world. What does this mean? And
Speaker 2: where do we go from here? It's the big question.
Speaker 2: We'll get into that afternoons on seven hundred w old
Speaker 2: World Friday sign I'll tell you this has the potential
Speaker 2: to be the best trial of all time, all time.
Speaker 2: So Afroman who did the song, but he is involved
Speaker 2: in the law. It's a buck wild story between Afroman
Speaker 2: and an Adam County Sheriff's department, and the jury is
Speaker 2: about to hear the kick. So back in one was
Speaker 2: a twenty twenty two. They raid his home much more
Speaker 2: like a compound. Let's say he's got RVs and cars,
Speaker 2: and it's amazing how one hits song can't make it
Speaker 2: that kind of money. But and it's just like you know,
Speaker 2: Glenside looks like an ordinary type of Adams County farmhouse. Right,
Speaker 2: So anyway, Afroman is at his house or I don't
Speaker 2: even know he was there at the time, but there
Speaker 2: was a suspicion of drug trafficking and kidnapping, and how
Speaker 2: they came up with those charges beyond me. That's going
Speaker 2: to come out in court. And so if you've remember
Speaker 2: seeing the video of this, the entry, right, they have
Speaker 2: like an m rapp They've got all their tactical gear
Speaker 2: run and it's like a swat rate. They go in
Speaker 2: the house and they find instead of finding drug trafficking
Speaker 2: and a dungeon with kidnapped victims in there, they found
Speaker 2: a vapepen, a roach, part of a joint, and five
Speaker 2: thousand dollars cash in the house. And so obviously they
Speaker 2: did not file charges, but they broke his gate down,
Speaker 2: the kick in the door, they caused some property damage,
Speaker 2: ripped some stuff down, and they eventually they were holding
Speaker 2: on to it and seizing it. But because of the
Speaker 2: public pressure and the outcry, they returned his five thousand
Speaker 2: dollars minus four hundred dollars that they allegedly miscounted the money.
Speaker 2: I thought I was bad at but I'm pretty good
Speaker 2: accounting money, but math I'm bad at. So he has
Speaker 2: had surveillance footage and he took that and turned it
Speaker 2: into music videos and merch, including the song Lemon pomp Cake,
Speaker 2: which is fantastic. And he was because a rather portly
Speaker 2: deputy was in the kitchen with gun drawn and he
Speaker 2: looked and did a second look at a would look
Speaker 2: like a very delicious lemon pound cake that his mama
Speaker 2: made was sitting there under glass. He did, who that
Speaker 2: pundcake looks good. He's gotten like over three million views
Speaker 2: on social and on YouTube with the video. But there's
Speaker 2: seven deputies did the raid and detectives, and they sued
Speaker 2: Afroman because they claimed he used their likenesses without permission
Speaker 2: to fame them and cause emotional distress. Meanwhile, I mean,
Speaker 2: you broke in new house under I guess false assumption
Speaker 2: he got wrong. There was no apology offered for this
Speaker 2: or and they delayed the restitution. They held out of
Speaker 2: the money. So he's like, fine, I'm going to take
Speaker 2: my home video and I'm going to turn it into
Speaker 2: music music videos using you guys of the foils and
Speaker 2: one of the deputies, a female, broke down in tears
Speaker 2: yesterday in court because there was a suggestive music video
Speaker 2: about her played for the jury. And then after the
Speaker 2: isis was right before the trial started, he posted new
Speaker 2: song on so I'm Sorry during the trial. Another one
Speaker 2: making fun of Sergeant Randy Walters by name and his
Speaker 2: defense is, look, if they hadn't wrongly raided my house
Speaker 2: and did what they did, there would be no lawsuit involved.
Speaker 2: But the best part about it, the ultimate fu is
Speaker 2: that he is wearing he's in court, he's wearing this
Speaker 2: American flag suit and he's got American flag glasses like
Speaker 2: the lenses on the glasses of the American flag, and
Speaker 2: the suit is an American flag. It's it's incredible. But
Speaker 2: the best part is wearing that suit. He drops this
Speaker 2: banger the day before the trial starts.
Speaker 3: Mine.
Speaker 6: I've seen the corruption of the Adam County cops. Still
Speaker 6: in money's still in take when they make they traffic stops,
Speaker 6: first they screw you, then they sue you play a
Speaker 6: game man, dismiss your claims the proof Sondy inner, Ah
Speaker 6: bro Man, We'll bring it to yeah. Ah bro Man
Speaker 6: is gonna dude, Yeah, ah bro Man, he's gonna screw
Speaker 6: yeah my proof Sony innern.
Speaker 3: Myne eyes have seen in form.
Speaker 2: This goes jobs for five minutes, by the way, and
Speaker 2: it is such an earworm you're not gonna be able
Speaker 2: to get it out of your head the rest of
Speaker 2: the day. Trust me, I heard it once and I've
Speaker 2: been singing it since I proved seven this morning.
Speaker 6: Ah bro Man, we'll bring it to Yeah. Ah bro
Speaker 6: Man is gone a dude, Yeah, ah bro Man, He's
Speaker 6: gonna screw yeah my proof sony in.
Speaker 2: I'm most always a pro law enforcement guy, Like it's
Speaker 2: a tough job. I don't know how you do that.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you see what you see. That'side
Speaker 2: of humanity on a daily, hourly, minute by minute, second
Speaker 2: by second basis, and have it not affect you personally, emotionally,
Speaker 2: affect your relationships and how you live your It's a
Speaker 2: and for the money you make and the danger you
Speaker 2: put yourself in. Ak Larry Henderson, I have the ultimate
Speaker 2: respect for law enforcem but there are times where clearly
Speaker 2: they're in the wrong. And I think that's the problem today,
Speaker 2: whether it's this or politics, is we either either if
Speaker 2: you're for someone, you can't be critical of them, And
Speaker 2: I think that's insane. I think that's where we got
Speaker 2: to where we are today in society. No one admits
Speaker 2: they're ever wrong. They just double down on the stupid
Speaker 2: or they go, hey, you know what this I support
Speaker 2: this person, but we got problems. I'll get to that
Speaker 2: in a second with the president, But in this case,
Speaker 2: I look at what data. Dam's kind of going, Okay,
Speaker 2: you had a warrant, and you know how hard is
Speaker 2: it to get a warrant. But he's trafficking drugs. He's
Speaker 2: kidnapping people. And they go in and they found baked
Speaker 2: goods and some money. I mean, you're allowed to have
Speaker 2: a vap pen and a joint. He didn't have bundles
Speaker 2: of weed laying around, you know, like he was traving in.
Speaker 2: It was like a little bit of drug. He's a rapper,
Speaker 2: for godsake. You don't think you're gonna find he's a
Speaker 2: hip hop arts. You don't think you're gonna find some weed.
Speaker 2: Hell you if you came and raided my house, you'd
Speaker 2: find more. I don't know, I know about the five
Speaker 2: thousand dollars, right, Like, if that's a crime. Now what
Speaker 2: are we doing, let alone the kidnapping charge. But I
Speaker 2: think it's interesting, you know that the lawsuit itself, because
Speaker 2: the Adams kind of shafts are suing him, the individuals
Speaker 2: for because they degraded him. It's like, well, you know,
Speaker 2: first of all, you were acting in a public capacity,
Speaker 2: so that opens up and makes it very, very difficult
Speaker 2: to prove liable and slander. But it's his footage on
Speaker 2: his property. He didn't hack a serve at the police department.
Speaker 2: He used his own surveillance cameras that the officers saw
Speaker 2: in there. And you're allowed to put cameras in your
Speaker 2: own home, You're allowed to put cameras in the outside
Speaker 2: of your home pointing to public spots. That's a pretty
Speaker 2: significant distinction and ownership and consent. You don't need consent
Speaker 2: for that. On top of that, no charges were ever filed,
Speaker 2: so I think that undermines any claim that the raid
Speaker 2: was justified and weakened. See, we were just doing our jobs,
Speaker 2: narrative you were, because I mean, I don't think you
Speaker 2: were the one individuals who pulled the warrant. Maybe you
Speaker 2: got bad intel. And on top of that, courts for
Speaker 2: a long time. And this is where the president comes
Speaker 2: in with, you know, Jimmy Kimmel and others. Is, courts
Speaker 2: are historically given wide latitude to political and social commentary,
Speaker 2: and mocking a government official or in this case, a
Speaker 2: raid on your home is about as clear case or
Speaker 2: protected status as you can get. And they're acting in
Speaker 2: official capacity. It's not like they were off duty doing stuff.
Speaker 2: They'd be a little bit different. But deputies executing a
Speaker 2: warrant aren't private citizens, so that lowers that expectation of
Speaker 2: privacy even more. In a day and age where cops
Speaker 2: rightly so have body cameras and dash cameras, and in
Speaker 2: almost all, not all cases, but almost all of them
Speaker 2: winds up exact honerating police officers. It helps the cameras
Speaker 2: in the video helps comps more than it does the defendants.
Speaker 2: In this case, it's not true. The opposite was true,
Speaker 2: and he said he publicly created the content to raise
Speaker 2: money to cover the damages they cause. That's how are
Speaker 2: you going to beat that up in court with a
Speaker 2: jury that's sympathetic. It's defensible. Now. Some of the suggestive content,
Speaker 2: the sexually ones of deputy phelps the female that could
Speaker 2: kind of hurt him with the suggestive innuendo, and maybe,
Speaker 2: I don't know, the merchandise sales maybe undermine this too.
Speaker 2: I suppose now I think of it because there's a
Speaker 2: commercial component of this. But if you're using the merchandise
Speaker 2: sales to as a as a crowdsourcing thing to fund
Speaker 2: your defense, I think a jury look at that and
Speaker 2: go that makes sense. I mean, it's an interesting case
Speaker 2: using his own video surveillance to satirize that this this
Speaker 2: box government raid, but it just makes the whole thing laughable.
Speaker 2: I don't think jury sits that and sees the context
Speaker 2: and how he's doing his tongue in chic. I don't
Speaker 2: think you you know you're gonna throw the book at
Speaker 2: this guy. I don't know how you could be sympathy
Speaker 2: not sympathetic towards him. So it's kind of a weak case.
Speaker 2: And you know what, quite honestly, this is another example
Speaker 2: of well, you know, the Constitution and your consulship rights
Speaker 2: and your own protection to your own home. The cops
Speaker 2: get the warrant wrong and there's got to be a
Speaker 2: remedy for that, and you pick the wrong guy's house
Speaker 2: to rate.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: That does happen, that does happen, other stuff going on,
Speaker 2: So we'll follow that because I think as just it's
Speaker 2: it's hysterical and anything that's funny, I like funny. Funny
Speaker 2: is good. Funny is good. All right, So we don't
Speaker 2: know what to make of this center Republicans and the
Speaker 2: Save America Act. I think most Americans agree, like, is
Speaker 2: it really that big an ask to have an idea
Speaker 2: when you go vote No? I mean we do it
Speaker 2: in Ohio. It doesn't seem to be a high bardy jumpover.
Speaker 2: The problem I have, I think is just the two side.
Speaker 2: And you know the politics. I think we're shutting down
Speaker 2: the government. You got TSA agents that aren't getting paid.
Speaker 2: And if you've traveled recently, I don't know people have traveled.
Speaker 2: We traveled, but just kind of beat this thing out.
Speaker 2: We got lucky, but what a pain in the ass.
Speaker 2: And I you know, the thing is people get mad
Speaker 2: at tsagents and like they're making them do their jobs,
Speaker 2: are basically forcing them to go to work without getting paid.
Speaker 2: And now it's past the point of absurdity because this
Speaker 2: is like the third time we've done this where the
Speaker 2: ts agents don't get paid and you know, you have bills,
Speaker 2: you have a car payment, you got a mortgage, you
Speaker 2: got childcare, you got all these things, and if money's
Speaker 2: not coming in, you can only live on that so long.
Speaker 2: It's not like, you know, you're making billions of dollars
Speaker 2: being a TSA agent and now you have to go
Speaker 2: to work and you're losing money on the deal. You know,
Speaker 2: the propriety and fairness here is just it's it's a
Speaker 2: terrible look. It's a terrible look. And so getting the
Speaker 2: Save America Acting doesn't seem to be a high hurdle
Speaker 2: to jump here in the sense that, you know, the
Speaker 2: GFP insists that the debate allowed them to spotlight election
Speaker 2: fraud and draw attention to Trump's proposed solutions to this.
Speaker 2: But you know, this is the one side of that
Speaker 2: that I don't like is the fact that Okay, I
Speaker 2: think all of us a great well not all of us,
Speaker 2: but go, okay, well, what's the big deal offer? Non
Speaker 2: id We do it all the time. I don't have
Speaker 2: a problem with that, I guess, And this really doesn't
Speaker 2: changed things unless you start factoring how much is this
Speaker 2: going to cost us? Does this cost anything to do this?
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's some added costs in there. But my
Speaker 2: point is, you know, we keep spending more money, we
Speaker 2: don't have this. This is to add another layer to
Speaker 2: that because quite honestly, the rates of election fraud are
Speaker 2: extremely low. You know when the Heritage Foundation comes out
Speaker 2: and they said there's a point zero zero zero zero
Speaker 2: seven percent of elections have fraud in them. And that's
Speaker 2: a conservative thing tank. I think we're doing pretty good.
Speaker 2: Is this a Is this a solution in search of
Speaker 2: a problem? In many ways it is. But the other
Speaker 2: side of this thing are the Democratic lawmakers, as expected,
Speaker 2: voting against it. So they continue to shut down TSA.
Speaker 2: And you know, we hear about the the mass and
Speaker 2: clamped down a mail in balloting scam. But in Ohio
Speaker 2: that's not happening, Kentucky, that's not Indiana's not happening. I
Speaker 2: can't vouch your other states. But then you address that
Speaker 2: at the state level. But Democrats are talking about, once
Speaker 2: again the tired argument about voter suppression. It's voter suppression,
Speaker 2: said to Fritz Schumer, twenty million, maybe more twenty million
Speaker 2: people be told when they show up to vote, you're
Speaker 2: off the rolls. That's the problem. Is that really happening.
Speaker 2: I don't think it is. I mean, if voting is
Speaker 2: that important to you, you go out and you get
Speaker 2: a state ID. You don't need a driver's life. You
Speaker 2: just need a state ID. It's really not that big
Speaker 2: an ass quite honestly, you need it in many states.
Speaker 2: But twenty million people, I mean, come on, the other
Speaker 2: thing is every time something like this happens, the cry
Speaker 2: is voterse we're being suppressed. For God's sakes. Man, It's
Speaker 2: easier to vote today than ever before. Just Ohio, loone.
Speaker 2: You got thirty days. You can vote from your arm,
Speaker 2: you can vote on your toilet, you can vote sitting
Speaker 2: in your car, having your coffee, at the table, wherever
Speaker 2: you want. It's not hard. One day of voting was
Speaker 2: much much more difficult than the way it is today.
Speaker 2: So the screen voter suppression, I need an idea. I mean,
Speaker 2: you got to be engaged too. I mean, there's got
Speaker 2: to be some responsibility on the part of the voter.
Speaker 2: You know, you kind of have to know what day
Speaker 2: it is. You kind of have to know what month
Speaker 2: it is. You have to know what's on the ballot.
Speaker 2: You know, do you want I guess if it's Shumer
Speaker 2: do you want someone showing up to everyone's home or
Speaker 2: apartment or condo or trailer or tent or whatever it
Speaker 2: is and go, hey, here's your ballot. I'm sorry, there's
Speaker 2: a threshold for a participation here in the threshold is
Speaker 2: pretty easy to cross. And so this is getting debate
Speaker 2: and concerns our race. I don't know where it's going
Speaker 2: to go, but it just continues on and online. And
Speaker 2: you know, I guess that I look at this thing,
Speaker 2: and I think most people go, Okay, well, what's the
Speaker 2: problem here? Ask him for he isn't really that big?
Speaker 5: Is it?
Speaker 2: Another? It's the falsehood of election fraud. Republicans love screaming
Speaker 2: a by election fraud even though it rarely happens, extremely
Speaker 2: rare that it happens. And when you ask, hey, war
Speaker 2: is the proof? Well, we saw research that said, I
Speaker 2: don't know your own think tanks are showing there none,
Speaker 2: This isn't happening. And on that point, when Trump screams
Speaker 2: about again, he goes back to twenty twenty being a
Speaker 2: stolen election. So if that were true, this big consierrat
Speaker 2: to prevent conspiracy to brandsh him from winning the election.
Speaker 2: How did you get elected in the first place. How
Speaker 2: do you get elected twice? It's only the fraud goes away.
Speaker 2: There's this whole system in place for fraud. Okay, it's
Speaker 2: all frauded. Well, if that were the case, a Republican
Speaker 2: would never get elected, right, If it were that widespread,
Speaker 2: that could change the course of an American election. I
Speaker 2: don't understand. How do you win the first time? To
Speaker 2: your to your surprise by the way you he was
Speaker 2: a look on his face and it's like, oh, did
Speaker 2: I just win? I didn't see that. It was a bit.
Speaker 2: I was just goofing, I really do want this job.
Speaker 2: On Inaugury or when the when the results came in,
Speaker 2: he gave a speech. He looked like, holy crap, this
Speaker 2: is for real kind of funny. And so four years
Speaker 2: of that then it was like, okay, it's not working.
Speaker 2: Like with Up, we'll try Biden for a while. That
Speaker 2: was a disaster, and so we're back to Trump again.
Speaker 2: So I don't know how you go back and they
Speaker 2: well it's all rigged anyway. Is it only rigged when
Speaker 2: you lose? Because quite know his personality is he just
Speaker 2: can't take the l If he gets an l it's
Speaker 2: somebody else's fault. If it's a dub, he takes credit.
Speaker 2: That's how it works with him. So there's an election
Speaker 2: fraud going on, and if it is, it's really, really,
Speaker 2: really small. It's not changing the outcome of elections at all.
Speaker 2: On the other side, screaming about how you're disenfranchised because
Speaker 2: they make you show an ID, which we all have,
Speaker 2: seems a very weak argument considering you got thirty days
Speaker 2: to vote. It's very very easy to participate and our
Speaker 2: electoral process. Asking for ID doesn't stop that. And if
Speaker 2: you don't have an idea, it's pretty easy to get one.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: You do kind of have to show up and do
Speaker 2: stuff to participate in society, like complaining about high gas
Speaker 2: prices when you don't have a car. I don't get it,
Speaker 2: I really really don't. We'll get a news update here
Speaker 2: in just minutes on seven hundred WLW. Not all this show,
Speaker 2: certainly not all politics and the like, but we have
Speaker 2: March Madison full effect. We have Miami playing tonight in
Speaker 2: the play in game. And so it begins just sitting
Speaker 2: mindlessly in front of your screen, your streaming device or
Speaker 2: your TV, or maybe sitting in a bar for the
Speaker 2: next four straight days just watching college basketball. It's a
Speaker 2: glorious time to be alive, for sure. And so maybe
Speaker 2: you're going to do this at home in your TV
Speaker 2: might be a little janky. Maybe you're thinking about getting
Speaker 2: a new one. Got a guy for I got a guy.
Speaker 2: His name is Will Greenwald. He writes for PC magazine,
Speaker 2: and he said, yeah, maybe you don't need an Maybe
Speaker 2: you needed all those settings. Do you ever get in
Speaker 2: your settings thing and the TV? I don't know how
Speaker 2: many women square around with that, but you know, guys,
Speaker 2: we're notorious for tinkering with stuff. And there's all these
Speaker 2: crazy settings in your menu and you look at it
Speaker 2: and go, I have no idea what any of this
Speaker 2: stuff does. Well, you're not alone. You're not alone anyway.
Speaker 2: He'll walk us through that and maybe maximizing that because
Speaker 2: I think sports when you have a TV, and you know,
Speaker 2: we're in the Arab big screen TVs maybe on your
Speaker 2: phone not that big a deal, but if you got
Speaker 2: a big one on your wall, you're like, man, you know,
Speaker 2: the action looks a little jumpy. Do you ever see that?
Speaker 2: Like football? Especially like the football looks like it's out
Speaker 2: of focus, or there's two or three basketballs on the
Speaker 2: screen and the guys that they're moving kind of sluggish.
Speaker 2: There might be a way to fix that. Anyway, we'll
Speaker 2: join the show next to discuss that coming up, maybe
Speaker 2: saving a little bit of money and and extending your
Speaker 2: enjoyment of total mindless relaxation in the form of college
Speaker 2: basketball with March Madness. Scott Sloan Show continues here home
Speaker 2: of the Red seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Do you want to be an Amican?
Speaker 3: You got so?
Speaker 1: Do you need a new TV?
Speaker 2: Of course you need a new TV. Everybody is a
Speaker 2: new TV, just ball one. But I need a new
Speaker 2: TV because I like stuff. I like gadgets. Maybe you don't.
Speaker 2: Maybe you don't need a TV if you look at
Speaker 2: the settings. You ever look at the settings on your TV?
Speaker 2: You got game mode, you got motion smooth, and you
Speaker 2: got noise reduction. How you think color temperature is a
Speaker 2: setting on your wash or don't you? And you don't
Speaker 2: even know what all those settings do. You don't have
Speaker 2: a damn clue what any of that stuff does either
Speaker 2: do what? And this is especially relevant today because we
Speaker 2: begin March Madness. And so maybe your picture is a
Speaker 2: little I don't know, it's jumpy, or it looks laggy,
Speaker 2: or the ball looks really really really bad, looks square
Speaker 2: or out of focus. I got a guy. I got
Speaker 2: a guy for you. I got a guy. You need
Speaker 2: a guy, I got a guy. It's gonna help you out.
Speaker 2: He is the Home Theater Expert for PC magazine and
Speaker 2: ISF certified TV Calibrator and a TXH their certified Home
Speaker 2: Theater Technician. He's Will Greenwald.
Speaker 3: Will.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of titles on a small business card.
Speaker 3: What's up?
Speaker 5: Thanks you to be here. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: There are a lot of things if you can play
Speaker 5: with with your TV, and a lot of things you
Speaker 5: shouldn't touch. Generally, if you see a slider in your
Speaker 5: TV's menu system, you shouldn't tweak it too much, but
Speaker 5: there are a lot of things you can do with
Speaker 5: just like a picture precess, your TV might start at
Speaker 5: standard or vivid, and that's bad because they make it
Speaker 5: look overly blue because that's what pops out most, but
Speaker 5: it's inaccurate. If you just set your TV to movie
Speaker 5: or cinema, that will generally get it too about as
Speaker 5: accurate the colors will be without fully calibrating, and you
Speaker 5: don't want to get into those weeds. So yeah, out
Speaker 5: of the box, you can actually get pretty accurate colors
Speaker 5: if you just notice which it's to. These settings will
Speaker 5: look kind of warm to you at first, but that
Speaker 5: is the accurate color for any movie or show you're watching.
Speaker 2: Yeah, depending on the set, right, there's some things you
Speaker 2: get in and by the way, before we begin, will
Speaker 2: because I'm kind of dumb with this stuff. What don't
Speaker 2: if I see some what don't I want to touch?
Speaker 2: Tell me where the red button is the apple if you
Speaker 2: will in the Bible, tell me where that is? So
Speaker 2: I don't even look at it? What exactly? What do
Speaker 2: you mean? There's things you don't touch? What is that?
Speaker 5: If you see something like this might sound counter counterintuitive,
Speaker 5: but if you see brightness, that usually doesn't actually change
Speaker 5: how bright the TV is. That is actually the black
Speaker 5: level how the TV measures darks. Gotcha contrast, It is
Speaker 5: the same thing for light things and for color tint.
Speaker 5: Don't touch that, you will completely throw off the color.
Speaker 5: And if you want to get into anything more granular
Speaker 5: than that, you kind of need training and sometimes fancy equipment.
Speaker 5: So basically, just stick to the precess picture settings. Usually,
Speaker 5: if there's a separate backlight setting to make it brighter.
Speaker 5: That'll help. And if you can turn off the light sensor,
Speaker 5: it might say adaptive brightness, turn that off, because that'll
Speaker 5: make your TV look weirdly dim. But otherwise, try to
Speaker 5: stay clear of anything that has like a number next
Speaker 5: to it?
Speaker 2: Gotcha? Or it's like are you sure you want to
Speaker 2: do this? That's always the worry for me. It's like
Speaker 2: you sure you want to do this? Like yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get out of this program. I probably don't
Speaker 2: want a monkey with that too much? All right, good
Speaker 2: good news. Don't don't touch the third rail. That's bad.
Speaker 2: There's something called motion smoothing, and you kind of know
Speaker 2: this when you watch sports. You know, we just watch
Speaker 2: the super Bowl, We've got March Madness coming up. Can
Speaker 2: you walk through why this? This is the feature that
Speaker 2: you know tells me to turn it off for movies?
Speaker 2: But what does this do for sports?
Speaker 5: Well, if you've heard of in the Sofa opera fact,
Speaker 5: it's that weird kind of too smooth view you get
Speaker 5: when you're watching a show or a movie and the
Speaker 5: motion movings on it just looks like they're moving weird.
Speaker 5: You don't want it for that, but for sports What
Speaker 5: it does is makes certain motion seem smoother and going
Speaker 5: left and right rapidly, like on a court or a field,
Speaker 5: that makes things jutter a lot. There's chopping us and
Speaker 5: motion smoothing will reduce that and it just generally will
Speaker 5: look better, specifically for sports, but anything else you do
Speaker 5: want to disable it. It's usually called a true motion
Speaker 5: or on my LGTV or you know, clear motion. Motion
Speaker 5: is usually in the title, but it might be something
Speaker 5: kind of more.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you find that setting in you know, on
Speaker 2: and off depending on what you're watching, but most people
Speaker 2: just kind of turn their TV on and don't really
Speaker 2: do anything. When you turn your TV on, your monitor on,
Speaker 2: do you monk with the settings before watching a particular
Speaker 2: show or do you have it all.
Speaker 5: Programmed when it turned on. I make sure it's that's
Speaker 5: two movie myself, because it does get really close and
Speaker 5: for most things I watch, that's pretty much good. If
Speaker 5: I am going to watch sports, I'm a huge on it.
Speaker 5: But if I'm gonna that'll turn on motion smoothing. Otherwise
Speaker 5: I'm just disable it and have it all do what
Speaker 5: the source is doing, because that's usually best to my eyes.
Speaker 7: Okay, you can change.
Speaker 5: It to your taste, and even if you if your
Speaker 5: TV has a sports setting, that will make things bluer.
Speaker 3: Than it should be, but it.
Speaker 5: Might look better to your eyes, and it will probably
Speaker 5: turn over the motion smoothing so it'll get those settings
Speaker 5: in a row.
Speaker 2: Gotcha, gotcha? Which is important with you know, basketball and
Speaker 2: the light coming up will There are times you're watching
Speaker 2: a show where there's like a dark screen with what
Speaker 2: and you'll see like splotches of I don't know of,
Speaker 2: like white in there in a movie or something like that.
Speaker 2: When it's really really dark. What is that? How do
Speaker 2: I get rid of that?
Speaker 5: It's called light bloom and it's unfortunately kind of a
Speaker 5: reality to what a lot of TVs do because TVs
Speaker 5: are not just one panel. There's a panel of liquid
Speaker 5: crystal which makes the pictures the color, all the pixels,
Speaker 5: but it doesn't emit life. So there is life behind it.
Speaker 5: And it might be just a big flat light which
Speaker 5: it doesn't get dark at all because it all needs
Speaker 5: to be lit up, or there are a bunch of
Speaker 5: little zones of lights which can dim and get bright.
Speaker 5: But there aren't as many zones, not nearly as many
Speaker 5: as there are pixels, so when an edge between black
Speaker 5: and white lights up, there's going to be some haze.
Speaker 5: You don't get this with an OLED TV, and it
Speaker 5: is reduced with you get a high end mini LEDTV,
Speaker 5: But otherwise it's kind of just a reality of having
Speaker 5: an LEDTV.
Speaker 2: Gotcha.
Speaker 5: It gets really bright, but you're going to have the haze, yeah.
Speaker 2: And there's no way to correct that. And unless you
Speaker 2: get into a really really expensive model. Now, the more
Speaker 2: money you have, the less that probably comes properly.
Speaker 5: Right, Like I said, O LED will remove it completely
Speaker 5: because that's a different technology and it looks really cool.
Speaker 5: It doesn't get as bright, but it has no light
Speaker 5: bloom at all because each pixel adjusts this brightness.
Speaker 2: If you are a real cinophile like you, where do
Speaker 2: you go with you? O? LED and LED many LED,
Speaker 2: because there's countless ones out there, Which ones best?
Speaker 5: I love OLED in general because its colors are usually
Speaker 5: fantastic and its life control is great, and it doesn't
Speaker 5: need to be super bright because modern like good O
Speaker 5: leads are, they're bright enough to do HDR content, which
Speaker 5: is that the fancier streaming content justice. So it's great
Speaker 5: if you do with something really bright, though, if you
Speaker 5: say you have a room that gets a lot of sun,
Speaker 5: you might wuldn't get a mini LED that gets super
Speaker 5: super brighter, And companies like high Sins and TCL are
Speaker 5: making ones that just put out three four times as
Speaker 5: much light as any old, and those are great too.
Speaker 5: You got to deal with the light bloom, but they
Speaker 5: have their own advantages, and it really depends on also
Speaker 5: the size and budget because olds are usually much more expensive.
Speaker 2: Will Greenwald is a PC magazine's home theater expert on
Speaker 2: the show this Morning on seven hundred WLW. People spend
Speaker 2: on average over eleven hundred dollars a new TV, but
Speaker 2: they are professional level adjustments. This is the adjustice you
Speaker 2: can make to your current TV for free, provided say
Speaker 2: flat screens LED or O LED, because there's a lot
Speaker 2: of things that you can tweak in there to get
Speaker 2: what you want. We talked about brightness and color accuracy
Speaker 2: is another one, like I have no idea, I'm looking
Speaker 2: at blue. I think it's blue. You see probably an
Speaker 2: entire palette. Because you're an expert in this thing. When
Speaker 2: you start to get in the color settings, how do
Speaker 2: I know if my TV's actually calibrated correctly or if
Speaker 2: I'm just blind.
Speaker 5: Again. All TVs are kind of they're calibrated to an extent,
Speaker 5: like they are tuned to look a certain way out
Speaker 5: of the factory, and you can go further, which if
Speaker 5: you're getting like a super expensive high end like projector
Speaker 5: system or one hundred inch TV, and I want to
Speaker 5: get a professionally calibrated but otherwise, according to my test,
Speaker 5: the cinema or movie or isf imax, they usually like
Speaker 5: a fancy movie related to name, those picture modes get
Speaker 5: admirably close to accurate, and you could tweak it further,
Speaker 5: but at that point you don't really want to. It's
Speaker 5: just set us to that mode. It's going to look
Speaker 5: about as good as you can. I actually have a
Speaker 5: list of all these different tips you can do that
Speaker 5: will improve the look of your TV on PC meg.
Speaker 5: If you search for TV tips, you'll see my name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Will greenwaald Oft PC mag. There you go. You
Speaker 2: can check that out online. Love you guys. All right,
Speaker 2: So we've talked about brightness and color acture. What about HDMI? Basically,
Speaker 2: you know it's great, you plug it in, you get sound,
Speaker 2: you get video. Is there anything I can do in
Speaker 2: that chain to improve my picture? Or sound.
Speaker 5: You can make sure you have a good HDMI certified cable.
Speaker 5: There are a couple of different tiers and it sort
Speaker 5: of starts at high speed and it gets like premium
Speaker 5: high speed, and what you want to do is just
Speaker 5: make sure it says generally, I think premium high speed
Speaker 5: is what's going to be the best four k HDR content.
Speaker 5: Maybe have like a cheaper older HDMI cable. You might
Speaker 5: not be getting enough. You might not be sending as
Speaker 5: much data through as it needs to. You want at
Speaker 5: least eighteen GDPs, which we'll say on the package if
Speaker 5: it is a legitimate cable, or if if you're buying
Speaker 5: it from a legitimate source. And you can actually get
Speaker 5: them pretty cheap, I recommend don't buy them in big
Speaker 5: box stores. Order them online from a pan full of
Speaker 5: different places. It doesn't need to be Amazon, but there
Speaker 5: are you can get cheaper good HDMI cables online.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting too, because you know, you see
Speaker 2: these cables that are three thousand dollars because they're you know, gold,
Speaker 2: virgin gold and twenty four care gold, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: do I really need that? Do I really need that?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: Do I need it?
Speaker 5: Absolutely not? Especially for HDDMI, because it's digital. It's only
Speaker 5: a question of is the data going through? Audio files
Speaker 5: can make that. They can argue till the end of
Speaker 5: the day about headphone wires and speaker wires because those
Speaker 5: are analog connections. But HDMI and pretty much anything going
Speaker 5: into your TV it's digital, So gold or anything that's
Speaker 5: going to undrty the signal or whatever. You know, your
Speaker 5: typical blue shirt in the store is going to tell
Speaker 5: you it's going to do. Doesn't matter to HDMI. What
Speaker 5: matters is how much data is going through, and that's
Speaker 5: going to be on the page.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the size of the pipe that what the
Speaker 2: initial pipe is made out of? Good information there. You're
Speaker 2: an ISF certified TV calibrator and TXH certified Home theater technician.
Speaker 2: You go into somebody's house, you look at their TV.
Speaker 2: What is the most common problem you see that's completely
Speaker 2: ruining their picture quality? And question two is the audio quality?
Speaker 5: Picture quality? If it is set to standard or vivid,
Speaker 5: that's just throwing everything off, got it. Sometimes the adaptive
Speaker 5: rightness the white sensor might still be set all though
Speaker 5: there might be some ECO settings that you want to
Speaker 5: disable because that's going to dim the picture. Those are
Speaker 5: the main things. Sometimes there also is the display oriented
Speaker 5: the display perspective what's usually called zoom on a TV.
Speaker 5: It might be off, so you're going to see some
Speaker 5: of the pictures squished or clipped, and you want to
Speaker 5: set that to just again or direct, just basically pixel
Speaker 5: the pics on instead of trying to get it within
Speaker 5: a weird shape, because that's what's going to make the
Speaker 5: picture look weird in terms of perspective.
Speaker 2: Gotcha.
Speaker 5: Audio wise, you're only going to get so much down out.
Speaker 3: Of your TV.
Speaker 5: Typically, TV speakers usually aren't great higher end TVs they
Speaker 5: do have, they can't have excellent speakers. Many of the
Speaker 5: highest senses higher end TV is like the UAQG and
Speaker 5: those higher end ones, the whole spatial audio speaker systems
Speaker 5: built all through them, so like they build a wall
Speaker 5: of sound around you. But most of them, you're probably
Speaker 5: want to get a sound bar if you can, because
Speaker 5: the soundbar and a subwarfare is going to really beef
Speaker 5: up to that audio.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, like Samsung gets really really high ratings
Speaker 2: for that in TVs as well. If you're looking for
Speaker 2: one particular brand now, now normally you go to your
Speaker 2: you know, the place where the blue shirts are or
Speaker 2: your big box retail or Costco is a great one.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, okay, I think I need a new TV.
Speaker 2: But before you do that and go, hey, maybe it's
Speaker 2: the settings and I try that, So what are could
Speaker 2: you tell me like a lot of the warning signs
Speaker 2: that your TV may actually be failing versus just needed
Speaker 2: better settings.
Speaker 5: If it's seeming significantly there. TVs only have like a
Speaker 5: certain amount of life. They can last a very long time,
Speaker 5: but sometimes they can just start to die, and that
Speaker 5: can usually happen in the back light, so that just
Speaker 5: the life will start to fade, which is kind of
Speaker 5: what happened on my last TV. Actually, a weird one
Speaker 5: happened with my other kV that the color started to
Speaker 5: get weird, that only blue started to get dim which
Speaker 5: led to some very weird things that like I talked
Speaker 5: to other experts in the field and there as confused
Speaker 5: as I am about how that happened. But basically, if
Speaker 5: the picture starts to look weird and you can't go
Speaker 5: into the settings and you know, make it look right,
Speaker 5: that might be assigned that the panel.
Speaker 7: Is starting to age.
Speaker 5: But hopefully it won't happen for at least like three,
Speaker 5: four or five years. Ideally a TV should last at
Speaker 5: least a decade. But I mean, who can help at
Speaker 5: this point?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the technico chiefs come. Now you feel like
Speaker 2: you need you know, three d's coming. I remember the glasses.
Speaker 2: I had one of those. I don't think I ever
Speaker 2: used it, but it came with the tyros, all right,
Speaker 2: And there's always some new trend out there that's going
Speaker 2: to want to get that. Then that's how market It's
Speaker 2: largely marketing though, right.
Speaker 5: Kind of there is a lot of I want see desperation,
Speaker 5: but they want to find an angle to basically say,
Speaker 5: you know, eight four K settled. HDR is pretty much settled,
Speaker 5: So how do we get people to buy these new TVs?
Speaker 5: And they try to find a new angle. Stuff is
Speaker 5: very promising. There are these micro RGB or RGB l
Speaker 5: ed TVs that are coming out that are really impressive
Speaker 5: so far. They're very expensive, very big, but there's a
Speaker 5: lot of promising technology there. But for things like three D,
Speaker 5: no and HK. Any if you're worried at all about
Speaker 5: TV is getting sharper and EIGHTK happening, I actually just
Speaker 5: put up a story last week explaining why that is
Speaker 5: not happening. LG just stopped making aktvs. That leaves only
Speaker 5: Samsung and basically that is not a factor at all
Speaker 5: in the foreseeable future. So don't worry about needing to
Speaker 5: upgrade from four K to AK. That isn't happening as
Speaker 5: far as I can see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the thaing is you need programming that's actually worked.
Speaker 5: Yep, you know, not no programming. There's no format right right,
Speaker 5: so like treating service or disc it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and by the time they roll it out, I
Speaker 2: probably change with the standard as anyway, So maybe that
Speaker 2: TV is rendered obsolete before you even bought it.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 2: But so if you're going to hold out and say,
Speaker 2: well I just got to known in the last couple
Speaker 2: of years, I can wait to go five six, what's
Speaker 2: the next thing on horizon, You're like, okay, let's let's
Speaker 2: wait for that. Is it what you're talking about with
Speaker 2: the RGB LEDs.
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, the RGB LEDs because you I said, there's an
Speaker 5: LGB panel and likes behind it. RGB TVs have red, green,
Speaker 5: and blue lights instead of just white or just blue
Speaker 5: that they're going into the weeds. But they can change
Speaker 5: just red or just green or just blue, getting brighter
Speaker 5: and dimmer to make the color go wider, not just
Speaker 5: to improve the contract. Gotcha, and the what I've seen
Speaker 5: so far in my initial test, I've only completely tested
Speaker 5: one TV, but I've taken a close look at several
Speaker 5: that is a lot of There's a lot of potential
Speaker 5: for much brighter, much much wider color ranges than what
Speaker 5: we can currently get with TVs.
Speaker 2: If you had unlimited money, will and maybe you have
Speaker 2: unlimited money, I don't know, you've you seem very very
Speaker 2: good at what you do. I do not if you
Speaker 2: have a limited in my semi stupid money, well, the
Speaker 2: best possible system, the best possible TV you can buy
Speaker 2: right now is what and how much does it cost?
Speaker 5: At this point, I would have to say either high
Speaker 5: Censer's latest RGB TV I think it is the current
Speaker 5: one sixteen UX or Samsung's Micro RGB TV. They're basically
Speaker 5: they're kind of very similar TVs. They make very similar
Speaker 5: claims that they can cover this extremely wide color space,
Speaker 5: and in my testing I believe it at this point,
Speaker 5: but they'll have to confrom it. But they're also like
Speaker 5: twenty to thirty grand and one hundred and sixteen to
Speaker 5: one hundred and fifteen hundred and sixteen inches, so we
Speaker 5: will get in my apartments.
Speaker 2: Damn yeah, one egs or a TV. You better like
Speaker 2: TV to be watching that, so you better be like
Speaker 2: a movie reviewer. So mister Rotten Tomatoes would have a
Speaker 2: TV that big or mister Bach Yeah, yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 5: So that's good sound system?
Speaker 2: Yeah you have to. You also have the turntable that
Speaker 2: needs its own room. The turntable it's its own house,
Speaker 2: that sound isolated. That's you're getting crazy about that stuff.
Speaker 2: Any more. Affordable category with TVs? Would you go with?
Speaker 2: Samsung comes up a lot, By the way, I think,
Speaker 2: are you big? Samsung?
Speaker 5: Samsin is very good engineering. I don't really like their
Speaker 5: smart TV menu interface. It's sort of my least favorite,
Speaker 5: but in terms of the hard way they make it
Speaker 5: is pretty fantastic. They're also usually pretty expensive. Companies like
Speaker 5: High Central TCL usually are sort of better bang for
Speaker 5: your buck.
Speaker 3: In terms of budget TV.
Speaker 5: It's specifically my favorite so far, at least for the
Speaker 5: year at the moment, is the U six QS High
Speaker 5: Senses budget TV. You can get around sixty five inches
Speaker 5: for maybe six hundred dollars and it gets.
Speaker 7: Quite right for that price.
Speaker 5: It's colors are excellent, and it's pretty full featured.
Speaker 2: It's unreal. I was looking at I don't know, I
Speaker 2: saw some old maybe it's a newspaper or something around
Speaker 2: there's an ad for TV and I was like, I
Speaker 2: don't know, nineteen seventy, late seventies, and wow, say here's
Speaker 2: a Stare twenty one inch color TV for like six
Speaker 2: hundred dollars. And I'm looking at us, going that was
Speaker 2: ninet seventy nine. I can get a one hundred inch
Speaker 2: TV for probably less than double that price.
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably, I mean maybe a little bit more, but
Speaker 5: like less than too grant.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's insane. How how the cost of
Speaker 2: electronics it's and that's why they're disposable now for that reason.
Speaker 2: You know, that was high tech twenty one inches and
Speaker 2: five six hundred dollars for TV, and now you can
Speaker 2: get a one hundred inch TV for fifteen hundred dollars
Speaker 2: whatever it is. It's amazing. And there's all these new
Speaker 2: brands out there, TCL and high Sense that people look at, go, well,
Speaker 2: that's not Sony or Samsung. I'm people get uncomfortable with that.
Speaker 2: Should you really care that much about the brand name?
Speaker 5: You can if you've never heard of it, maybe because
Speaker 5: obviously there are a lot of sort of store brands
Speaker 5: and like you know, little men, you might have never
Speaker 5: heard of it, and they might just be cases of
Speaker 5: drunk if they seem a lot cheaper than even High
Speaker 5: Centered TCL. Yes, but both High Center TV TCL have
Speaker 5: solidly established themselves as you know, pretty high quality, high
Speaker 5: value brands if you're looking to now spend a ton
Speaker 5: of money on a TV, if they have good performers,
Speaker 5: which is, you know, more than I can say for
Speaker 5: a lot of cheaper, no name brands that you know,
Speaker 5: if you get a you know, there's little ones that
Speaker 5: you might see on sale in the back of a store.
Speaker 5: Those ones might be joke, gotcha.
Speaker 2: He's Will Greenwall writing or a PC magazine. He's our
Speaker 2: home theater expert. Everything you need to know whether you
Speaker 2: need to buy that new TV or not, or just
Speaker 2: tinker with the settings inside. Some useful information there. This
Speaker 2: will be podcasting after the show. If you just catching
Speaker 2: like the end of it, go I missed it, Go
Speaker 2: to the iHeartRadio app and podcast. So well, all the
Speaker 2: best buddy. Thanks again, I appreciate.
Speaker 5: You, thanks for having me have a good day.
Speaker 2: I hope you got some useful information out of that.
Speaker 2: If I'm gonna keep your TV, maybe you can tweak
Speaker 2: some of those settings before Miami plays today March Madness,
Speaker 2: because that TV gonna get worn out this weekend for
Speaker 2: real Scott Slan Show with News in just minutes and
Speaker 2: Julie Balki stands by Julie on the job. Guess who's
Speaker 2: getting fired in big numbers? Jen Zers? Why she shares
Speaker 2: Julie on the job is next after news on seven
Speaker 2: hundred WI.
Speaker 8: Them helping you navigate the rocky path a fulfilling employee.
Speaker 8: Here's our career, sir, Julie Balki.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a rocky road. It's kiashi. So this
Speaker 2: is an interesting new trend. They got the diploma and
Speaker 2: then they get a job, and then they get the
Speaker 2: spink lip something like six and ten bosses now say
Speaker 2: they've already fired their gen z hires and someone hire
Speaker 2: new grads at all next year. Why is that, Julie Balki,
Speaker 2: our career shirp on the Scott Sloan Show. It's it's agism,
Speaker 2: is what it is, isn't it, Julie, Because old people
Speaker 2: don't like these young young bucks coming up. That's what
Speaker 2: it is all about. Agism.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 7: So here's the thing, all right.
Speaker 9: So we talked last week about the unemployment rate of
Speaker 9: college grads being similar to the I mean gen Z
Speaker 9: college grads being very similar to the unemployment rate of
Speaker 9: gen Z without college degrees. And it's interesting when you
Speaker 9: really dig into that and say, Okay, what, why why?
Speaker 9: Like what are employers saying is the reason behind this?
Speaker 9: And there's some really interesting stats in this Fortune article,
Speaker 9: fifty leaders fight lack of motivation lack of initiative as
Speaker 9: the reason why things didn't work out with their new hire.
Speaker 9: Bosses also pointed to gen Z being unprofessional, unorganized, and
Speaker 9: having poor communication skills as their top reason late to work, late.
Speaker 7: To meetings, not wearing office appropriate.
Speaker 9: Clothing, and using language appropriate for the workspace. So you
Speaker 9: know this always when you read this, I mean, I
Speaker 9: can tell you why. I mean, I can tell you
Speaker 9: the collection of factors that have led to this, but
Speaker 9: then the question, and that's all you know. We can
Speaker 9: we can clutch our prolls and bring our hands over that.
Speaker 9: But what is it, Whose responsibility is it? Because this
Speaker 9: can't this can't continue. I mean, this can't. This is
Speaker 9: going to especially with AI coming on the scene to
Speaker 9: replace a lot of those more entry level jobs. This
Speaker 9: is this is a problem that's going to keep getting worse.
Speaker 7: So it's a more two prong problem.
Speaker 9: And so therefore it's likely a multi prom solution.
Speaker 2: All right, let's pump the brakes a little bit. What
Speaker 2: you just told me, Julie Balki. Is this a gen
Speaker 2: Z problem specifically or isn't this just what we go
Speaker 2: through with every new generation enter in the workforce. Is
Speaker 2: this that much different?
Speaker 9: It is that much different. You know, the gap even
Speaker 9: when you look at the gap between at if you
Speaker 9: take a look at and I know this is a
Speaker 9: broad generalization, but the generation's general attitude toward work. Take
Speaker 9: a look at Boomers, who are the oldest ones still
Speaker 9: in the job market and gen Z the youngest. That
Speaker 9: gap is it's it is a yawning canyon of a gap.
Speaker 9: Now when you look at then when you take the
Speaker 9: difference between boomers and millennials, which is the generation just
Speaker 9: older than gen Z.
Speaker 7: So even your thirty year olds twenty nine thirty.
Speaker 9: Year olds or millennials, that is much less of a gap.
Speaker 9: And even millennials are saying, because I've spoken to several,
Speaker 9: are saying, yeah, I don't I don't quite get this
Speaker 9: generation right behind me. So these aren't necessarily just old
Speaker 9: krusty boomers like you like me, and old krusty gen
Speaker 9: z like you saying that Gen X, it's really there
Speaker 9: is such a difference, and it's not just your typical
Speaker 9: young people are going to ruin the world. My generation
Speaker 9: was the last one that knew how to work. It's
Speaker 9: beyond that, Okay.
Speaker 2: I mean, I see what's going on, and you know,
Speaker 2: I also understand the lens that gen Z looks through
Speaker 2: things at and they live through some tough well maybe
Speaker 2: not so tough economic times, I suppose, but I think
Speaker 2: maybe they saw their parents work, saw that maybe their
Speaker 2: grandparents work hard. Now for examples, as a Gen xer,
Speaker 2: I look at boomers and I can't figure out, like, Okay,
Speaker 2: you guys want to work till you're eighty years old.
Speaker 2: There's a I think when a Trump's cabinet people, he's
Speaker 2: developed cancer and he's going to continue working until the
Speaker 2: day he falls over dead. Like I think younger people
Speaker 2: look at it go, well, okay, so your whole existence
Speaker 2: is just your job and your career. And that's always
Speaker 2: been a knock on moomers, right. They just won't let go,
Speaker 2: they won't turn the reins over. They and and this
Speaker 2: is why we see that problem in the workforce when
Speaker 2: they say things they think is appropriate that are inappropriate.
Speaker 2: It's because the bulk of the workforce is younger, and
Speaker 2: they have a different set of values and standards and
Speaker 2: morals and those those kind of things don't translate very
Speaker 2: well while you look out of touch. So I think
Speaker 2: it's a confluence of a living longer and younger generations
Speaker 2: coming in. I'm not discounting that their work ethic is
Speaker 2: not good. What I'm saying is in the context is
Speaker 2: look how they grew up, and what they see is like, Okay,
Speaker 2: you're just living to work that. I don't want to
Speaker 2: do that. That's why they travel. You know, they'll they'll
Speaker 2: do month long trips so they don't have any money,
Speaker 2: or they'll take their money. Go Okay, I'm taking a
Speaker 2: month off to go around Europe when I'm still young.
Speaker 2: It's just a different value proposition.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 9: It absolutely is and the I was just having this
Speaker 9: conversation with someone yesterday who's spouse just retired, and he
Speaker 9: is really he's sixty five, and he's really flailing because
Speaker 9: he's looking to how do I reboot my identity. It's
Speaker 9: hard to go from being a hard charging, career focused,
Speaker 9: even moderately successful person to losing that. I mean, look
Speaker 9: at look at our congress people. Just as you said,
Speaker 9: it's funny, isn't it. I was just reading this thing
Speaker 9: that said, you know, we've got I see constantly people
Speaker 9: fifties and sixties complaining about agism and trying to get hired.
Speaker 9: And I absolutely know that it is true. Yet the
Speaker 9: people running these congress people seventies, eighties, nineties that are
Speaker 9: still running for reelection. And so it's this, it's it's
Speaker 9: it comes down to how however strong. The stronger you,
Speaker 9: the more strongly you identify with your career as you're
Speaker 9: shining beacon of your life, the harder it is for
Speaker 9: you to walk away and re establish an identity as
Speaker 9: something else, especially if there were perks that came with
Speaker 9: that identity, walking into.
Speaker 7: A restaurant in Washington, DC.
Speaker 9: Having people cater to you, having you know, I mean
Speaker 9: getting your phone calls returned immediately. It is a long
Speaker 9: fall from the top. And so some boomers are because
Speaker 9: the way we were raised was mostly focusing on career identity,
Speaker 9: it is harder for us to give it up. But
Speaker 9: there's also a piece of the boomer population that can't
Speaker 9: quit because of the financials. And so I understand, right,
Speaker 9: I don't want to downplay that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mentioned the value proposition and you you're
Speaker 2: not wrong. I'm not saying that. Well, you should just
Speaker 2: accept that's how gen z ers are. They have to do.
Speaker 2: The adaption here is because you are getting a paycheck
Speaker 2: for work, and what's considered work is showing up on
Speaker 2: time all the time, dressing appropriately, using suitable business place language,
Speaker 2: being organized, being proactive. All those things and more factor in.
Speaker 2: That's what's expecting the job. How did we then, as parents,
Speaker 2: because this is not the all of these damn kids now,
Speaker 2: it's damn parents who set that expectation by our so low.
Speaker 2: How do we f this up so much?
Speaker 9: Yeah, you can't. Everybody complaining it's like, well, well, who raised them?
Speaker 7: It was.
Speaker 9: It was a combination of things. It was certainly the
Speaker 9: participation trophy style of parenting. It was the massive helicopter
Speaker 9: parenting that our kids never It was the you have
Speaker 9: to get into the best school possible. So because that
Speaker 9: seeds my ego, so I'm not going to require you
Speaker 9: to work. You just keep taking ap classes. And so
Speaker 9: we shielded them from responsibility in the real world. If
Speaker 9: you work at Chipotle and you keep showing up late
Speaker 9: or dressing inappropriately, you aren't going to keep that job.
Speaker 9: And even if those things happened a lot of times
Speaker 9: with this generation, Mom marked straight into Chipotle and let
Speaker 9: them have a piece of their mind for letting her
Speaker 9: precious angel go. And it's I see remnants of this
Speaker 9: still today and it's so we are we It makes
Speaker 9: us feel good in the moment to move those barriers
Speaker 9: out of the way, but you are hurting your child
Speaker 9: long term because the world isn't going to think.
Speaker 7: They're so precious and special like you did.
Speaker 3: And so yeah, you know, I.
Speaker 9: Saw this video was this young woman showing different work loooks,
Speaker 9: like work appropriate looks for women in the corporate world,
Speaker 9: and I was watching it and I was horrified. I'm like, no, no,
Speaker 9: that's not appropriate. But I also recognized them, like, wait
Speaker 9: a minute, is this just my boomerness.
Speaker 7: YEA saying that's not appropriates.
Speaker 9: I had to kind of walk back and say, is it,
Speaker 9: And for the most part it wasn't. It was more
Speaker 9: about knowing the difference between showing up for a night
Speaker 9: with friends and showing up in a workplace where you
Speaker 9: are being assessed by first impressions are so important. I
Speaker 9: always try to do that check. But sometimes it's like, no,
Speaker 9: showing up on time is not for a meeting, is
Speaker 9: simply respect for other people's calendars, other people's times, and
Speaker 9: that is not going away. That is, we're never moving
Speaker 9: to a place where people show up anytime they want
Speaker 9: for a meeting between nine and ten. That's not happening.
Speaker 9: So there's certain things that remain true over time, and
Speaker 9: that's what we're not being taught or embraced or.
Speaker 7: And so yeah.
Speaker 9: So on the other hand, we've got just looking at
Speaker 9: a stat that said the number of people who are
Speaker 9: the number of people who are starting their own thing,
Speaker 9: who've opted out of the corporate America and or starting
Speaker 9: their own thing is going back to to two thousand
Speaker 9: and one, right after nine to eleven, two thousand and eight,
Speaker 9: twenty twenty. Numbers that were I can't get a job.
Speaker 9: So it's partially back then in those three times, it
Speaker 9: was I can't get a traditional job. Now those numbers
Speaker 9: are up again, but the reasons behind it are different.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I tried the corporate thing. It doesn't work
Speaker 9: for me, and I get it. Believe me, any of
Speaker 9: us have been in corporate. We get it. But now
Speaker 9: they have more options than they did before, true.
Speaker 2: To go out on their own. She's our career short.
Speaker 2: But Julie Bouki, who's an angry, angry old boomer woman
Speaker 2: who's just screaming at clouds this morning, it's it's awful.
Speaker 2: What's the single biggest gap you see when college? Well,
Speaker 2: let me back up a second. When when the boss
Speaker 2: is say, lack of initiative, what does that look like
Speaker 2: in the workplace? Does that mean it.
Speaker 9: Means sitting around and waiting to be told to do so?
Speaker 9: I have heard anecdotes after anecdote that said, as well,
Speaker 9: I left three because I was a dumman with everything
Speaker 9: that was on my desk. I finished the work you
Speaker 9: gave me, so why wouldn't I leave? And just that
Speaker 9: that just makes your head explode when you think about
Speaker 9: it versus saying how can I how can I show up?
Speaker 9: How can I do things that are going to make
Speaker 9: me stand out? And I loved this particular quote that
Speaker 9: I think is just so powerful about the importance of
Speaker 9: I'm trying to find it here. Some leaders have even
Speaker 9: insisted that it can do. Attitude at work will advance
Speaker 9: young workers' careers more than a college degree, and I
Speaker 9: absolutely agree with that.
Speaker 7: I think we've put so much.
Speaker 9: Emphasis on the paper, but we've all worked with people
Speaker 9: with really impressive paper who couldn't manage their way or
Speaker 9: work their way out of a paper bag. And so
Speaker 9: initiative attitude shall and up on time, willingness to learn,
Speaker 9: and some of those really basic things really are the things.
Speaker 7: That make you stand out, and.
Speaker 9: That that's never going away, and so how do we
Speaker 9: fix it?
Speaker 7: Whose responsibility is that?
Speaker 9: There's a lot of questions here, but eventually that a
Speaker 9: you know, a bottom line. If you are an adult
Speaker 9: in the workplace, you have to figure this out.
Speaker 7: You have to.
Speaker 9: Yes, you were your circumstances maybe weren't ideal with maybe
Speaker 9: the way you were raised or the way COVID has been,
Speaker 9: but take a look around, you read the room. What
Speaker 9: are successful people doing and then do more of that.
Speaker 9: It's it's that's the stuff that I don't care what
Speaker 9: kind of a degree you have.
Speaker 5: It's not that hard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if that is that a coachable
Speaker 2: skill or personality. I don't know how you How do
Speaker 2: you teach initiative? You can't. Colleges aren't teaching initiative. They're
Speaker 2: not they're not teaching attitude.
Speaker 9: No, but you can by the way that you if
Speaker 9: you show up and your your you say, Okay, I'm
Speaker 9: going to absorb whatever I can in this workplace. I'm
Speaker 9: going to absorb the way the most successful people operate.
Speaker 9: I'm going to absorb the way that people run meetings.
Speaker 7: It seems to be productive. I'm going to absorb the
Speaker 7: people that.
Speaker 9: Have the most respect. How do they operate? And so
Speaker 9: you if you are a great student at your university
Speaker 9: or your high school, now it's up to you to
Speaker 9: be a student of the workplace.
Speaker 7: What does success look like?
Speaker 9: And walk in knowing that you may be smarter on
Speaker 9: some things than the vast majority of your coworkers, but
Speaker 9: you're not smarter on the stuff that's going to get
Speaker 9: you ahead.
Speaker 7: You're just not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, there's the element. I think communication is huge, right,
Speaker 2: the interpersonal communication that's lost on this generation because there
Speaker 2: are digital natives and on the second digital native generation.
Speaker 2: So in twenty twenty six, when so much work happens
Speaker 2: over text and slack and email, it's all digital, right,
Speaker 2: what interpersonal in that is sitting on and talking and
Speaker 2: looking at the person on having a conversation difficult for
Speaker 2: gen zers to do because they're not use to it.
Speaker 2: That's not how they communicate. That's another skill set that
Speaker 2: has to be learned. That's really hard.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And.
Speaker 10: Here's a way.
Speaker 9: And I think people we get really caught up in
Speaker 9: oh my gosh, I have to know the right thing
Speaker 9: to say. I have to be all these things. Do
Speaker 9: you know what? You have to be curious and interested
Speaker 9: when you meet someone, become curious about their experience. How
Speaker 9: long have you worked here? What kind of roles have
Speaker 9: you held? What do you like about working here? Tell
Speaker 9: me about your career, Tell me about how you spend
Speaker 9: your spare time. Asking having a few good questions in
Speaker 9: your pocket is really the secret sauce to getting information,
Speaker 9: to getting any conversation off and running. And so then
Speaker 9: they answer it. Then they ask you a question and
Speaker 9: oh my gosh, before you know it, just having a conversation.
Speaker 2: How about that? How about about that my baby's walking.
Speaker 2: Do you think that employers will down the line that
Speaker 2: they're going to pull back from new grads? And what
Speaker 2: does that mean for that generation? What does that mean
Speaker 2: for the workforce.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's really scary. There are universities, there are
Speaker 9: even high schools in Europe that are starting to teach
Speaker 9: that because it's a worldwide sort of thing and this
Speaker 9: isn't just us and so, but it has to start
Speaker 9: at home. It has to start with sitting or you know,
Speaker 9: doing the things that force your child out of their
Speaker 9: comfort zone, making them be out and be useful, as
Speaker 9: we talked about last week.
Speaker 7: And so it has to start there.
Speaker 9: You can't say, well, I raise, you're eighteen, Now go
Speaker 9: to college. They'll teach you everything else you need to know.
Speaker 9: You're putting your sending a lamb to slaughter at that point,
Speaker 9: because they're entering the workforce thinking that because they're so special,
Speaker 9: that everyone is going to cater to them. Well, they
Speaker 9: quickly learn that they don't, and then it's hard to
Speaker 9: hard to recover from that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So yeah, if you put yourself, start putting yourself in
Speaker 9: situations and maybe aren't comfortable just take baby staff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's got to be done if you want
Speaker 2: to participate in the work force. She's Julie Boukie, our
Speaker 2: career expert in Shirpa here on the Scottslan Show Deebouki
Speaker 2: group dot com b a uk is how you spell
Speaker 2: that she's a career coach, consultant, has old team or
Speaker 2: I did to work for you and uh, maybe if
Speaker 2: you have a gen z here in your life, maybe
Speaker 2: whip them in the shape here in a fashion. So, uh,
Speaker 2: Jill's all the best, Grab a great week. We will
Speaker 2: chat again next Wednesday. Yes, indeed we will all right, peace,
Speaker 2: see you later. News on the way in just minutes
Speaker 2: here Tulsea Gabber, director National Tubs is getting grilled on
Speaker 2: Capitol Hill right now about threats, foreign threats to midterm
Speaker 2: elections and more full details and news plus traffic weather
Speaker 2: just ahead on seven hundred WW Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: You want to be in America?
Speaker 2: Plon me back seven hundred WLW. So have you knew
Speaker 2: this about our great state here in Ohio? We are
Speaker 2: not just the birthplace of aviation. I believe that because
Speaker 2: it says that right on your license plate.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: It's also one of the top spots for aerospace, aviation
Speaker 2: and defense. We are the number one supplier, the number
Speaker 2: one supplier highways to both Airbus and Boeing, with more
Speaker 2: than one hundred and ten thousand employees in the industry,
Speaker 2: six hundred companies in Ohio, and we right now you think, wow,
Speaker 2: we're pretty saturated. We can't train enough people to fill
Speaker 2: those jobs. And the future is looking really, really bright
Speaker 2: for a lot of these trades within aerospace. And so
Speaker 2: I'm sure you've heard about this. At Middletown Regional Airport,
Speaker 2: Butler Tech just open a brand new, state of the art,
Speaker 2: fifteen million dollar aviation center and this is for high
Speaker 2: school students and it's underway right now. The ribbon has
Speaker 2: been cut and in studios Williams Sprinkles, he's the superintendent
Speaker 2: in CEO of Butler Tech. Welcome to the studio, William.
Speaker 2: Congratulations by the way on the ribbon cutting. Thank you
Speaker 2: for that, Sarah. Thank you for having us, of course,
Speaker 2: and I think the biggest question to have for you, sir,
Speaker 2: is do you get to keep the giant scissors? What
Speaker 2: happens to the giant scissors you cut the ribbon with.
Speaker 11: You know, the giant scissors didn't work at the ribbon cutting,
Speaker 11: Are you kidding?
Speaker 2: We had to have a pair of micro scissors.
Speaker 11: You had a backup scissors shadowed underneath the giant scissors.
Speaker 11: The giant scissors the blade was too dull and didn't work.
Speaker 11: And so I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: We had some nail clippers and some micro scissors. That's
Speaker 2: not acceptable. It works, it works perfect. You're the CEO
Speaker 2: heads need to roll for this? Would you agree?
Speaker 3: Not at all?
Speaker 2: But in the world of career tech, we made it work. Okay,
Speaker 2: you made it happen. You think on the fly we
Speaker 2: always let's collect. I love it. People think, hey, aviation industry,
Speaker 2: everyone wants to be a pilot. That's not true, because
Speaker 2: you have maintenance, you have avionics, you have manufacturing, you
Speaker 2: have all these things. And and also we now have
Speaker 2: flying taxis that are being built in date, and I
Speaker 2: believe if I'm not mistaken, So that's a whole other sector,
Speaker 2: a whole nother evolution and layer of aerospace. We think aerospace, oh, ge,
Speaker 2: but there's so many more companies there, I'm sure, Ge.
Speaker 2: Is it has a hand in what the programming is
Speaker 2: that you do at Butler Tech william But other companies
Speaker 2: involved are what like, how many other companies have a
Speaker 2: set and like, hey, here's here's we want to be
Speaker 2: job ready, this is a workforce development thing. How many
Speaker 2: companies have a seat at the table? Sure?
Speaker 11: At our ribbon cutting we acknowledged at least twelve companies
Speaker 11: that are from the region. Companies like CTL Aerospace Standard ERA,
Speaker 11: which are more in the manufacturing and the aero defense side.
Speaker 11: There's other smaller companies that are local A ANDP mechanics shop,
Speaker 11: companies that sit on the that sit on the Middletown runway,
Speaker 11: and so companies whether they're small in size or large
Speaker 11: in corporate status. We try our best to welcome all
Speaker 11: of them and have a seat at the table and
Speaker 11: provide influence in the shape and the design of the
Speaker 11: curriculum and the experience that the students get.
Speaker 2: Now, I often talk about this on my show. Here
Speaker 2: you beat a trades guy myself and you were identifying
Speaker 2: with the year. Hell you're a doctor now, so doctor Sprinkles.
Speaker 2: They were both like tactile learners, right we you know
Speaker 2: in school, we I was like I'm looking at a book.
Speaker 2: I like, I don't get THEE for it. But you
Speaker 2: you put something applied in front of someone, all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, the light bulb goes off. We have done
Speaker 2: for the last couple of generations, at least the poor
Speaker 2: job of that. How much are we writing the ship now?
Speaker 2: It's starting, it's starting to come back to center a
Speaker 2: little bit.
Speaker 11: I think many people would argue for career tech centers,
Speaker 11: we've already righted that shit, and it's important to name
Speaker 11: that because this idea that career tech centers were only
Speaker 11: for one type of student or a particular type of
Speaker 11: learner is outdated. In Butler Tech's case, we serve eighteen
Speaker 11: thousand students a day between the grades seven and twelve,
Speaker 11: and we serve an additional twenty two to twenty three
Speaker 11: thousand learners a year in our adult education division. So
Speaker 11: in the grand scheme of one calendar year, we're going
Speaker 11: to serve over forty thousand people are going to access
Speaker 11: cared tech education from a Butler Tech location. That's cool,
Speaker 11: class or even a weekend credentialing program.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I was a kid, and you know, we
Speaker 2: have barely had shopped class and I was so into that.
Speaker 2: I loved it, and they took it away and basically said, well,
Speaker 2: if you want to do that, you've got to go
Speaker 2: this whole Shepherd school for the kids who are troublemakers,
Speaker 2: because the students go here and the dummies go there.
Speaker 2: And thank god, we finally blew that up right. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so you're correct.
Speaker 11: In particular, in the late eighties and the early nineties,
Speaker 11: there's a lot of research about a particular type of family,
Speaker 11: a particular type of student. Those students were forced, persuaded,
Speaker 11: or channeled to career tech centers. And I'm proud to
Speaker 11: say now in really the last ten years at Butler Tech,
Speaker 11: but even today in twenty twenty six, we represent every
Speaker 11: single possibility for a student and a family. If you
Speaker 11: want to go right to the workforce, we have a
Speaker 11: program for that. If you want to go to a
Speaker 11: two year school, we have a program that'll kickstart you
Speaker 11: and get you ahead and lower the cost of that
Speaker 11: to your journey. And if you want to eventually go
Speaker 11: to a four year school or even your doctorate program,
Speaker 11: we have pathways that lead to those experiences. Things such
Speaker 11: as biomedical engineering and our Bioscience Center. We have something
Speaker 11: for everybody that leads to a high level education, a
Speaker 11: hands on education and hopefully it keeps families and students
Speaker 11: out of debt and poverty free.
Speaker 2: And these are our skills the are in demand because
Speaker 2: now you're partnering with the companies that so it's a
Speaker 2: great pipeline. They're trained up. And you hear that for college,
Speaker 2: the college path traditional for year university that young people
Speaker 2: will graduate, they'll come and they have no job skills whatsoever.
Speaker 2: Like they have this degree but no job skills. You
Speaker 2: guys are teaching not only the craft, but also how
Speaker 2: to develop that you know, how to get in that situation,
Speaker 2: I guess is what I'm trying to say, and be
Speaker 2: actually just work from day one. They don't have to
Speaker 2: retrain you like they do with a college degree. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I appreciate that framing.
Speaker 11: Our belief is that young people need to have the
Speaker 11: actual hands on skills and the actual processes of how
Speaker 11: to operate machines and equipment and the credentials to make
Speaker 11: them successful in the workforce. We also believe our young
Speaker 11: people at butter A Tech have an opportunity to have
Speaker 11: the business acumen to not only be the person that
Speaker 11: works on the shop floor. But if they eventually aspire
Speaker 11: to want to be the CEO of the factory, they
Speaker 11: have that opportunity and we give them those skill sets
Speaker 11: to start moving in that direction and can start their career.
Speaker 2: The young people I mentor in the trades and trying
Speaker 2: to get them situation and which which type of trade
Speaker 2: with electrician, plumber, hi, whatever it is, aviation. It's like, listen,
Speaker 2: you know you're smart enough to do this, okay, and
Speaker 2: go to school, but also keep an eye on how
Speaker 2: the business runs, because the goal some days to get
Speaker 2: you to own your own company. And that's true not
Speaker 2: for everybody, but for a lot of these kids. You're like, wow,
Speaker 2: I can do this, and I learned so much that
Speaker 2: I want to go and do it my way now
Speaker 2: and hire people and become the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 11: There's a lot of social media footage right now about
Speaker 11: one particular type of entrepreneur that's going to emerge because
Speaker 11: of the conflict with artificial intelligence is electricians. Electricians are
Speaker 11: going to be triple their worth and triple their value
Speaker 11: the cost that you're going to be able to charge
Speaker 11: and to make and to create profit share by being
Speaker 11: in a high skilled electrician is not something that artificial
Speaker 11: intelligence is going to take over that trade of soon.
Speaker 2: Anyways, my nephew moved here from out West and he's like,
Speaker 2: I just want to work. I want to get a
Speaker 2: job and I want to go to school. He said,
Speaker 2: what should I do? And I will consider trades. I
Speaker 2: mentioned aviation, he goes. He goes, well, which one has
Speaker 2: the most gross said hands down, electrician because of data farms,
Speaker 2: because of the infrastructures, Like you're going to have a
Speaker 2: job for the rest of your life and beyond. You
Speaker 2: may be working from the grave if you want to,
Speaker 2: but you're gonna make great money and you're gonna meet
Speaker 2: and demand do that because we need electrical workers more
Speaker 2: more than anything. William Sprinkles is the superintendent c Butler Tech.
Speaker 2: They just up at a fifteen million at state of
Speaker 2: the art Aviation Center of Middletown Airport and it's workforce
Speaker 2: development we're talking about. Ohio is the number one supplier
Speaker 2: to Airbus and Boeing and there's one hundred and ten
Speaker 2: thousand jobs and it's growing here in OHI. If you're
Speaker 2: looking to get in a professions here on for a
Speaker 2: long time, we have despite what you see with TSA
Speaker 2: lines and everything else in that nightmare, and maybe that
Speaker 2: goes to show you need more workers. But air travel
Speaker 2: and cargo with on demand is getting bigger and bigger
Speaker 2: and bigger. If you thought it was already big, it's
Speaker 2: going to get much bigger. The projection is maybe even
Speaker 2: triple in just a number of years where we are
Speaker 2: right now. That's kind of hard to believe. But you
Speaker 2: need the bodies in there too. And you hear about
Speaker 2: AI automation coming for jobs that doesn't apply here, does it?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 2: It It does.
Speaker 11: Many of the trade pathways. Here's the thinking. If you
Speaker 11: think that you are going to be replaced by a robot,
Speaker 11: you probably are. You have to be willing to work
Speaker 11: with the emerging technology and work with robots. So there's
Speaker 11: a lot of technical pathways that are working with cobots.
Speaker 11: There's a lot of technical pathways that have to learn
Speaker 11: how to navigate the prompt engineering to embed AI inside
Speaker 11: of the pathways. It's not something that AI is exclusive
Speaker 11: from being invasive of those pathways. We're pushing all of
Speaker 11: our students, all of our teachers, all of our staff
Speaker 11: to embrace artificial intelligence and make sure that they're on
Speaker 11: the cutting edge of what's happening in those particular trades,
Speaker 11: industries and local pipelines. Yeah, because it's not something you
Speaker 11: can fight at this point. If you're not embracing it
Speaker 11: and working alongside it, it's going to be a competitor
Speaker 11: for you eventually.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know you're right, there's going to be displacement.
Speaker 2: But I'm wondering, you know, if you're an AVIA, if
Speaker 2: you're a mechanic, for example, AI is not gonna it
Speaker 2: may it may augment your job. That may change some
Speaker 2: things as being a force multiplier for you, but you
Speaker 2: still have to get in and fix that engine or
Speaker 2: that part. AI is not in a robots and can
Speaker 2: be able to do that because you have to have
Speaker 2: the critical thinking which may be augmented by AI, but
Speaker 2: you still have to do it with your hands as
Speaker 2: opposed to a robot. So I think those job. But
Speaker 2: I wonder about pilots. You know, we know there's a
Speaker 2: massive pilot shortage right now. When you can't get enough pilots,
Speaker 2: do we start to see is autonomous airplanes a thing
Speaker 2: that's going to happen.
Speaker 11: There's a lot of companies that are investing billions of
Speaker 11: dollars into the regional economy here in the Greater Cincinnati
Speaker 11: great and Dating great in ed Area, great in Dayton areas,
Speaker 11: Greater Dating areas such as such as Jobie that specialize
Speaker 11: in the vertical lift and take off.
Speaker 2: Is that the air taxis I was talking about. It
Speaker 2: is the air taxies. So those are still being piloted.
Speaker 11: They're what we're seeing right now in industry is they're
Speaker 11: making a shift from delivering goods and content and packages
Speaker 11: that are in particular weights to figuring out the volume
Speaker 11: of how many people that they can transport. And then
Speaker 11: you have to figure out how the airspace is regulated
Speaker 11: for the particular size of those particular aircrafts and how
Speaker 11: they work in airspace.
Speaker 2: And that's a whole nother a. I see AI managing
Speaker 2: air traffic too, air traffic controllers, it's gonna be AI.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a while before one of us goes, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get on this plane with no pilot. It's
Speaker 2: that's gonna take a minute. That's gonna take him in.
Speaker 11: Well, there's already the autonomous cars that are predominantly in
Speaker 11: the larger metropolitan areas.
Speaker 2: They're they're out west in Phoenix. When I was in
Speaker 2: Phoenix for.
Speaker 11: A conference, they're out west and it's crazy, right, and
Speaker 11: you they're fully autonomous.
Speaker 2: Yep, no driver in them. It's not that far off. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not. It's just again, the early adopters will be like,
Speaker 2: I may try this if I'm adventurous, but I can
Speaker 2: see how people get nervous about that. But in the future,
Speaker 2: in you know, twenty thirty, forty fifty years, it'll just
Speaker 2: be ah, this is what we do. We have pilot list.
Speaker 2: We don't need potles. It'll look like the Jetsons, correct,
Speaker 2: and we're headed that way. What is your completion rate
Speaker 2: and also place rate for new grads? Now, granted you
Speaker 2: just opened the center right now, but I'm sure you
Speaker 2: have a target. But what's your success been. We have
Speaker 2: two answers for that. Our graduation rate at bull Attech
Speaker 2: for the last ten years is nine.
Speaker 11: Nine percent. Some years it's one hundred. The lowest it's
Speaker 11: been is ninety nine. The students that complete our secondary Pathway,
Speaker 11: which is the equivalent of a high school diploma, those
Speaker 11: students were graduating ninety nine percent of our students and
Speaker 11: shout outs to not only our staff, but all of
Speaker 11: the partner schools that have partner based relationships that feed
Speaker 11: into Butler Tech. That's important to acknowledge our relationship with them.
Speaker 11: And on the adult education side, our placement rate is
Speaker 11: ninety percent for adult learners of every single ethnic group
Speaker 11: that we have, So that means white students, Black students,
Speaker 11: Asian students, Hispanic, Hispanic Latino students, multi racial students.
Speaker 2: Ninety percent of students from any.
Speaker 11: Subgroup that's incredible get placed into a job of the
Speaker 11: of the pathway, of the credential that they acquired within
Speaker 11: six months.
Speaker 2: That goes to show you just how successful and why
Speaker 2: this fifteen million dollar plant is needed. So on that,
Speaker 2: I know, the median wage for someone in the aerospace
Speaker 2: industries like right around six figures, right, one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: People leaving with that degree leaving Butler Tech, what are
Speaker 2: they earning.
Speaker 11: Students are not leaving Butler Tech with a degree after
Speaker 11: their high school experience. What they are leaving with is
Speaker 11: a series of high level credentials that are accepted and
Speaker 11: embraced within the industry in multiple different subpathways. So at
Speaker 11: our Aerospace Center, students will filter through one of three pathways.
Speaker 11: There is the aerospace pathway, which many students will lead
Speaker 11: right into college. That's a four year pathway. Students matriculate
Speaker 11: to four year universities if they want to focus on aerospace,
Speaker 11: or many of those students will head into manufacturing careers
Speaker 11: that work for Department of Defense and other types of
Speaker 11: industries like that. There are students that will be the mechanics,
Speaker 11: which is the AMP the airframe and power plant mechanic pathway.
Speaker 11: That particular industry has thousands of jobs within a two
Speaker 11: hour radius of the Greater Cincinnati area. And then the
Speaker 11: third pathway, students will have the opportunity to earn various
Speaker 11: different credentials for their private pilot license. Their private pilot
Speaker 11: license can be for their personal aircraft, can lead to
Speaker 11: the ability to fly a corporate aircraft, and it can
Speaker 11: also lead to your drone license, which is huge in
Speaker 11: various different sub industries right now, such as defense, construction,
Speaker 11: real estate construction, and that list goes on and on
Speaker 11: and on, and of course industries like yourself in the
Speaker 11: media industry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's fascinating. So you're pretty much guaranteed a job,
Speaker 2: you know, and not only that, the success rate is
Speaker 2: so high it's a no brainer. I think it may
Speaker 2: be for somebody who's going, wow, am I going to
Speaker 2: get laid off? I've got laid off again? Maybe you
Speaker 2: want to pivot career wise. The adult education program is wonderful.
Speaker 2: It is the brand new Butler Tech Aviation Center at
Speaker 2: Middletown Regional Airport. Williams. Sprinkle, Superintendent and CEO Butler Tech,
Speaker 2: thanks for popping in today. Appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Thank you for having me.
Speaker 11: And what would be important to all so acknowledge is
Speaker 11: we have a ribbon cutting for our brand new bioscience
Speaker 11: center in one month on April thirteenth, which is strictly
Speaker 11: about the forecast of jobs in this market for healthcare,
Speaker 11: which is one of the most booming in demand fields
Speaker 11: this state.
Speaker 2: Has gonna bring the good scissors this time for that one.
Speaker 2: We're gonna bring the good scissors. Don't you can do
Speaker 2: it once and screw it up. Yeah, I can't have
Speaker 2: it twice though, You're gonna have to. We're gonna bring
Speaker 2: the great were the ribbons, practice ribbon practice scissors. Let's
Speaker 2: just put a little work in spring. We got it,
Speaker 2: We we got it. Appreciate you. Thanks for things all right,

Speaker 2: What's wrong with me? You and your friends? That's nothing
Speaker 2: a guy wants to be part of that.
Speaker 10: They're an easy going group. I think you'd have a
Speaker 10: good time with us slow. I don't think well it
Speaker 10: want to come next to you. If it's mixed couple,
Speaker 10: that's fine. But you don't want to be the one
Speaker 10: guy and a bunch of girls. You don't want to
Speaker 10: be the only cock in the hen halves.
Speaker 12: Speaking of being the only.
Speaker 10: Okay, we gotta get to it. We got hoops tonight, baby,
Speaker 10: we got oops tonight. It's of course, Miami SMU. They
Speaker 10: say nine to fifteen dip and it'll be about ten o'clock.
Speaker 10: I'm sure I'm gonna be just the dip. I'm gonna
Speaker 10: be so sleep deprived tomorrow, but it's gonna be worth it.
Speaker 12: Hopefully they can.
Speaker 10: Make it out of this alive and then they'll be
Speaker 10: playing Tennessee on Friday, and Will Travis Steele be in
Speaker 10: his lucky blue Skyline T shirt.
Speaker 12: Apparently this is a thing. We learned this on Local twelve.
Speaker 10: It's trending on social media that for every single game,
Speaker 10: coach Steele has been wearing this like blue Skyline Chili
Speaker 10: T shirt underneath of his like Pulo.
Speaker 2: I love superstitions, I love sports superstitions.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he's very superstitious. And he goes, look, I'm not dirty.
Speaker 10: I do wash it, but I'm not going to miss
Speaker 10: out on wearing it. Is thirty one in one great.
Speaker 2: Great stories about sports superstitions, I mean fantastic stuff.
Speaker 12: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 10: And also Peter Suitter, you know Star Senior. He wears
Speaker 10: the same sucks for every single game. Sure, and he's like, look,
Speaker 10: I'm also not disgusting. I do wash them. He's like,
Speaker 10: I'm not that dirty. So just say, you know a
Speaker 10: lot a very superstitious team, and it seems like it's
Speaker 10: working out pretty good.
Speaker 2: Sure Philip doesn't then he started a new superstition.
Speaker 10: Hopefully all of those superstitious stuff comes into play tonight
Speaker 10: and they can get out of the eighty five to
Speaker 10: eighty three is my prediction.
Speaker 2: Okay, what do you think I want? My well, here's
Speaker 2: the thing.
Speaker 10: I feel like a lot of guys around here that
Speaker 10: I've talked to about it, they don't think Miami's going
Speaker 10: to win tonight.
Speaker 2: You beat SMU, you got Tennessee. Yep, it ends there, right,
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I am stop.
Speaker 10: I'm trying to be really confident and optimistic. This is
Speaker 10: why you don't last Thursday's game though, had me on edge.
Speaker 10: I was like, I don't like how these guys are
Speaker 10: playing in this one.
Speaker 2: I really want Miami to win because you don't want
Speaker 2: to lose two. You go perfect, then you lose your
Speaker 2: two games. When it came to go back.
Speaker 10: To back losses like that, I was worried watching selection Sunday,
Speaker 10: I was like, or are they going to get in?
Speaker 12: You got the akron Zips, the.
Speaker 2: Three other teams more behind them, so it wasn't like
Speaker 2: they're the last team in. But right, I'm hoping for
Speaker 2: you know, fourteen seed and fifteen.
Speaker 12: You got to put them in there at thirty one
Speaker 12: and one. So yeah, now you say up for this one?
Speaker 12: Will you watch? Being a maction kind of guy, let's start.
Speaker 10: Oh, they say nine to fifteen, but it'll likely be
Speaker 10: closer than nine five.
Speaker 2: Probably watch first half.
Speaker 10: Okay, all that matters are the last few seconds. I know,
Speaker 10: and I think it's going to be close.
Speaker 12: I really do.
Speaker 10: I think it's going to come down. It's going to
Speaker 10: come down to the final few seconds.
Speaker 4: I know it.
Speaker 2: When you're not a UC or Xavier or O you alum,
Speaker 2: you're a Miami alum.
Speaker 8: I am.
Speaker 12: I'm wearing my Miami a Lum sweatshirt today.
Speaker 2: You know they don't hand those Miami Alump shirts out
Speaker 2: to anyone. No, sir, you really have online. You have
Speaker 2: to show your you have to show your transcript.
Speaker 10: President Crawford gifted me this one, so okay, all right,
Speaker 10: good job.
Speaker 12: No he actually didn't, sir.
Speaker 2: It's old.
Speaker 12: I mean, yeah, it's that's not.
Speaker 2: A legit Miami.
Speaker 10: Look how old this thing is. I graduated back in
Speaker 10: twenty ten. So to your math, it's upsight. That's actually
Speaker 10: a w So anyway, winning, which is exactly what they're
Speaker 10: gonna do tonight. Speaking of winning, our guy Auhino Suarez.
Speaker 10: I don't know if you watch that post game speech,
Speaker 10: but it'll have your skin, just the arms on your
Speaker 10: hair will be standing up. I mean I get chills
Speaker 10: thinking about it. It's it was so cool.
Speaker 2: You know, the shirt play is you want Team USA
Speaker 2: to win, which they didn't.
Speaker 12: You do you want Gino to win, and you want
Speaker 12: USA to win.
Speaker 2: You want to win. It's like, but Gino was so hot,
Speaker 2: so hot. Okay, that's going to transl like he's got
Speaker 2: a chip playing. He was playing with a chip on
Speaker 2: his shoulder.
Speaker 12: And after that home run, the other wonder why.
Speaker 2: It's like, maybe you know what we're doing with Venezuela,
Speaker 2: and like, I'm sure he's not a Maduro fan, but
Speaker 2: he's been very outspoken about action over there, and maybe
Speaker 2: that's the chip on his shoulder. Maybe this is like
Speaker 2: he shows up and is just breaking from day one,
Speaker 2: which you know what the long play is. I don't
Speaker 2: want to see Team USA lose. But if it means
Speaker 2: Suarez is going to play like that for the season, I'm.
Speaker 12: In bring all the good vibes to Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 10: With a go ahead double in the ninth last night,
Speaker 10: of course, Venezuela over us A three to two. And
Speaker 10: if you've not seen this speech, it's trending all of
Speaker 10: our social media. Very lengthy, but he basically said, you know,
Speaker 10: not just teammates, were a family and he just he
Speaker 10: was preaching the Bible. He was like, God is good
Speaker 10: as all because of God, and man, it's just chilling
Speaker 10: to watch good Man.
Speaker 12: So I'm glad that he is a Cincinnati Red. That's
Speaker 12: the best.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's the best that they made in the off season.
Speaker 10: Cannot wait to watch him. Looking forward to it and
Speaker 10: to hear that intro Josie do it sony'ow it.
Speaker 2: No, he doesn't let you do it.
Speaker 3: Nice?
Speaker 2: And hey, can you do? Then you can't do the lineup?
Speaker 12: A hanio hanio?
Speaker 3: Wow, there it is.
Speaker 12: Thank you. Also, I have more good news, So Hunt.
Speaker 2: Broken Glass night at Great American Ballpark. All kids hunder
Speaker 2: twelve get a free bag of broken glass.
Speaker 10: Speaking of broken glass, that leads me to my next
Speaker 10: point here of talking about Hunter green Hu and all
Speaker 10: those broken chips in his elbow.
Speaker 12: So we got that fixed and he decided to go back.
Speaker 2: It's Mr Night, Great American Ballpark.
Speaker 10: More M Horizon RBI perfect. So he got the chips
Speaker 10: in the elbow all figured out, and he decided to
Speaker 10: go back out to Arizona.
Speaker 12: And had nothing but good things to say about the procedure.
Speaker 10: He said, he already feels freedom in that elbow and said,
Speaker 10: you know, I've got the normal swelling and the discomfort,
Speaker 10: but I'm making progress pretty quick.
Speaker 2: Why didn't we do this last year in October?
Speaker 12: Why bruh, we'd be well on our way with hundred Green.
Speaker 10: No kidding, Yeah, I'm sure it does after it's been
Speaker 10: injured for six months. I'm hot and cold with Hunter Green. Yeah,
Speaker 10: it's like when he's great, he's great, but he's stubborn.
Speaker 12: Dude, elbow chicks man. Well now he doesn't have those chips.
Speaker 2: It's all so nup. I shouldn't pay him for this.
Speaker 2: I demand a rebate.
Speaker 10: He makes too much money for this. This is ridiculous,
Speaker 10: just a bad move. So of course, while I was
Speaker 10: in Arizona, they did announce. I know we all know
Speaker 10: this by now, that it's going to be Andrew rabbits
Speaker 10: on the mound next Thursday, taking on the Red Sox
Speaker 10: when it all starts to count.
Speaker 12: How do you feel about Andrew Rabbit.
Speaker 10: I mean, he's had a rough spring, and I know
Speaker 10: Peo are kind of giving him a hard time about it.
Speaker 10: But Andrew has told media, look, I am just trying
Speaker 10: to stay healthy here. I think he's got an era
Speaker 10: of over thirteen now, so rough thoughts.
Speaker 2: I mean again, start of the season. You want to
Speaker 2: come out of the blocks hot for sure, Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: but but who else would you would you elevate over
Speaker 2: the Lodol.
Speaker 12: Singer, Lodolo, Chase Burns.
Speaker 2: Red Louder, You got the Boston Red Sox coming in. Yeah,
Speaker 2: gotta puts your best out there, So maybe he got
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's right the expectations. Green comes back
Speaker 2: around maybe after the All Star break at.
Speaker 10: This point at the earliest, and that is if everything
Speaker 10: is going okay and he doesn't go pushing it like
Speaker 10: he was doing in October pitching against the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: God.
Speaker 10: So yeah, we'll see Andrew the other day for his
Speaker 10: last start. I don't know if that's the last start
Speaker 10: that we'll see from him before Opening Day. I would
Speaker 10: imagine that Tito will give him one more.
Speaker 2: Maybe they just.
Speaker 10: But he did have sixty nine pitches and only two
Speaker 10: innings and he gave up four runs, so kind of tough.
Speaker 10: He did say that he wasn't feeling well, So I
Speaker 10: hope that everything can be one hundred percent and ready
Speaker 10: to go.
Speaker 2: You can't worry about it's going to happen. We'll find
Speaker 2: out you can't.
Speaker 12: So it's gonna be a split squad day.
Speaker 10: Half of the team will stay at Goodyear Ballpark where
Speaker 10: they'll host the Rockies and the other and they'll have
Speaker 10: Brady Singer on the mound for that one, and then
Speaker 10: the other half will go to Arizona's stadium.
Speaker 12: So it'll be most likely like an opening day looking.
Speaker 2: Kind of get everybody getting some working. Yeah, yeah, Tom
Speaker 2: Bridman hasn't been on vacation. He's actually it's part of
Speaker 2: our split squad. Action squad was off. I think Eddie
Speaker 2: was off. Willie was off, so it's like we had
Speaker 2: split squad.
Speaker 12: Yeah, we have more guys out than it. Yeah, I
Speaker 12: don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2: Reinhard wants to try some guys out. You know what
Speaker 2: it is, I get it split squad and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: Tom's doing a morning showing Lima likely. No, Will, I'm sorry, no,
Speaker 2: it was I think Will.
Speaker 12: He's done in Maple.
Speaker 2: I think Fingers was getting some working on line of time.
Speaker 12: Where has he been?
Speaker 5: Tom?
Speaker 2: Tom was out in iHeart Kansas City?
Speaker 12: So what you got me all distracted here?
Speaker 10: And of course we've been talking about Matt McClain being
Speaker 10: red hot, the hottest hitter of this team in spring ball.
Speaker 10: His average is like a five to fifty three. He's
Speaker 10: got six home runs. Do you think he can carry
Speaker 10: this over into the regular season. I mean, we know
Speaker 10: he's coming off that bad surgery in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 10: Last year was brutal for this guy, but he seems
Speaker 10: to believe them. He's put them in the too, in
Speaker 10: the two spot between Friedol and Ellie's.
Speaker 2: So how is he Why wouldn't he continue that into
Speaker 2: the regular season.
Speaker 12: I don't know the pressures on though right now. I
Speaker 12: feel like there's not a whole lot of pressure.
Speaker 2: Pretty good at pressure.
Speaker 12: I think they they can handle a tough situation.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: I mean, he gets wires and there's taking a lot
Speaker 2: of pressure off guys McLean and him.
Speaker 10: So it's I think he's he's really good in the clubhouse.
Speaker 10: I think he's going to bring a lot of good
Speaker 10: vibes on.
Speaker 2: The team, as long as none enough to get elbow
Speaker 2: chips were.
Speaker 10: Good, Keep the chips out of the elbow, keep everything
Speaker 10: everything solid.
Speaker 2: I heard you, I already had chips on his elbow,
Speaker 2: and I said, what what the tortilla Grippo's you got
Speaker 2: the let me see here, you got Fredo's, you got
Speaker 2: that jar that would have the wooded pepper, uh peanut,
Speaker 2: but pringles, and then you got what else lays there's
Speaker 2: uh uh ruffles.
Speaker 12: I'm trying to ruffle any feathers here.
Speaker 10: But Joe Burrow is making the headlines also because you're
Speaker 10: probably like, what is Joe Burrow up to in the
Speaker 10: off season. He's got Hollywood. We have lost him to Hollywood.
Speaker 10: He's hanging out with all the famous people now. After
Speaker 10: the Oscars the other day, he was seen out at
Speaker 10: a post Oscars party with Tate McCrae and Alex Earl,
Speaker 10: who is a very popular TikToker who was last seen
Speaker 10: with Tom Brady. So that's what our guy's getting into.
Speaker 2: Great just when football games stay healthy.
Speaker 12: I think he's staying pretty healthy in the off season.
Speaker 2: I really don't care.
Speaker 12: These girls are keeping him alive sure.
Speaker 10: Also, Geno Stone is happy to be back to a
Speaker 10: winning culture, is what he told media the other day
Speaker 10: about his signing with the Buffalo Bills. Be good to
Speaker 10: play in a winning culture atmosphere.
Speaker 2: Since you bring that down, you think, since he's got
Speaker 2: my Bills got proces, we.
Speaker 12: Don't miss you. How do you feel about Geno being
Speaker 12: a part of your team?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 2: I told Ricky Chino I would I I know he
Speaker 2: makes the speech. Yes, I don't think he makes it
Speaker 2: through camp.
Speaker 12: I don't think so either.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got release all over him.
Speaker 10: Happy to see him out of here, a winning culture
Speaker 10: without ginostone here looking at it.
Speaker 2: But again in true Cincinnati fashion, Uh huh, watch him
Speaker 2: go ball out and before right, that's what happens.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 12: And Trey Hendrickson and with the with the Ravens.
Speaker 2: Four hundred tackles, six receptions.
Speaker 10: Which the Ravens have been nothing but annoying on social
Speaker 10: media about signing Trey Hendrickson. I think they've made forty
Speaker 10: five social media post about it.
Speaker 2: Well, let's yew that works out?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 12: Will he stay healthy?
Speaker 2: You gave up a lot to get tread.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you can have him for what one or two
Speaker 10: games or an entire season seventeen plus, knowing the Ravens
Speaker 10: they won't get past seventeen.
Speaker 2: I love how you crap it on Trey Hendrickson.
Speaker 10: Now you're like I was over it, No, no, no, guy,
Speaker 10: I was over the whole tree hundred hundredson experiment at
Speaker 10: the beginning of the season, when he kept complaining about
Speaker 10: the condrag stuff, and then he got injured and we
Speaker 10: were winning without him.
Speaker 12: So I'm done.
Speaker 2: You're done. Good luck, you're done.
Speaker 12: Good luck with the Ravens.
Speaker 2: Good luck.
Speaker 12: Oh and good luck to my Miami RedHawks tonight.
