WEBVTT - 3-18-26 Scott Sloan Show 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.440 I don't want to be an American idiot. 0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:07.600 Slowly here on seven hundred Wright Trump Hurricane Trump blowing? 0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:11.280 Is Switzerland different? Davos is all upside down't know what 0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:12.760 to bay. They're like, what do we make of this guy? 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:13.160 We don't know. 0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:15.400 You got tariffs, you got Greenland, he got so much more. 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:18.439 The big question, of course, then is how this impacts us. 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:21.440 And a new study shows US tariffs anyway not good. 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:26.920 Dominic Misserendino on the show Retail techmedianexus dot COM's website, Dominic, 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:27.880 good morning, How are. 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:29.560 You doing well? How are you doing that? 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:31.640 I'm doing well. There's a lot going on. You got 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:33.800 Trump cutting off the head of the beast in Iran, 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.320 the straight of hor moves. Oil prices are going berserk. 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:40.000 And on the tariff front, auto tariffs, the auto industry 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:43.680 reporting thirty five billion in losses so far, with more 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.519 to come than I say, and so it's definitely hit 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.640 to the manufacturing industry as well. And on that is 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.479 our buddy, Dominic Miserindino and Dominic. Since this has been 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.920 going wrong, we've learned that exporters and that'd be the 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.400 guys over there, only pay for about four percent of 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.960 the tariffs. The rest is on the American consumer. We 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.680 heard the Supreme Court ruling and struck this down. Where's 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:04.200 it all going? 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:10.800 Well, first, thanks for the questions all that intro. You know, 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.560 one has to consider what is a tariff. And the 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.840 tariff is tax on the goods coming in the door. 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.960 It's not as if the other country is paying it 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:25.400 or the other person sending it over. It's the importer. 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.040 And if an importer is receiving this goods and going 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.160 to sell them on he's getting his t shirts in 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.880 for ten bucks or his coffee in, he's not likely 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.440 going to say I will just absorb that tax right 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:41.120 and enjoy it for the fun. 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.320 You can for a while. But it's not sustainable in 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.800 the long term. 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:45.680 Not at all. 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:49.160 And in certain cases, not only that, the margin just 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.840 isn't there. When you're buying your fifteen dollars for a 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.720 pound of coffee, at one point you just have to 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.640 pay the guy to pick the coffee, grow the beans. 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.160 It's not as if it's dock a dollar, and yet 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:05.440 magically it's fourteen dollars the profit. So when you do 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:10.840 have these tariffs, generally speaking, they're higher than the profit margin. 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.200 So if you're running a business and your job is 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.280 importing coffee beans and you have a tariff slapped on that, 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.280 you're going to raise the price. There's just no other choice. 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.880 Yeah, and you have to. And that's why inflation is 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.079 where it is. I mean, it's sticky. The I think 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.320 the Chairman of the Fed, Jerom Powell, said that they 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.480 expect things to maybe level off here and it's starting 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.400 to go down slightly slowly, but it's going to be 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.920 in long slog until we burn off some of this 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:35.880 tariff stuff. So on that when it comes to the 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:40.519 retail environment that we all have to participating as American consumers. 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:42.280 If you do a deep dive on this study that 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.080 came out that said ninety six cents of every dollar's 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:49.320 paid for paid by American consumers and the tariffs, I 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.280 guess you see trade volumes. The volume collapses, but the 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.880 price is stay high. So does that simply mean that 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.760 certain product categories have been discontinued or limited because of 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.200 the aras and we just like we dwindled the supply, 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.760 maybe not of quantity, but of choices. Does it eliminate choices? 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.800 Consumers still love choices, but it eliminates choices in terms 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.239 of demand. If you're going to go to Starbucks, you're 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:20.040 not necessarily going to buy that coffee where the beans 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.320 are so super rare. When it's forty five dollars a pound. 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.760 After a while, you're going to start chooting. You saw 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:33.120 this recently with the car manufacturers saying, you know, the 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.400 importing the luxury cars because the average consumer is going 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:40.520 to say, I don't want to spend that much. Once 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.880 that price goes up, the choice of luxuries starts getting 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:44.320 hit too. 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.880 Yeah, some of this stuff feels luxurious. I've seen some 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.240 of you. Well, our buddy John John from our Sisters 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.280 station in kiss Oo seven, I saw him yesterday and 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.800 he had a bag of the mushroom coffee. I've heard 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.360 about it and ever seen it live in the real 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.840 world before. And I said, ah, man, I'm coffee so 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.760 expensive right now? Is that a good alternative? He said, no, 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:04.280 it's like forty five bucks a bag for some mind. 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.600 What the I'm like, I guess there's still some first 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.440 roll of problems out there. Despite the economy. 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.280 Well, you know, people will still do it. And will 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.680 he do it every day? Will he do it every week? 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:17.200 It's kind of dumb. He probably will. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.720 Well that's a different story, you know. Then that's an 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:26.640 intelligence issue going on and that. But there is a 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.440 truth to that. If there is somebody who has the 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.360 budget for such things, yes they are not impacted. If 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.560 you are a billionaire, you're not really worrying about the 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.560 type of coffee you're buying. The average guy covering the 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.160 average bills, he's worried and some of these paraffs. Keep 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:48.240 in mind, the premise normally is please get manufacturing back 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.200 to the United States. 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.680 So what categories do you see that are primed to 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.640 bring back here. I mean, there's some that are simply 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.000 not going to come right. We've got to acknowledge that. 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:02.880 And there's exactly that's one of many problems I think 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.200 that we're seeing is that Number one, is it the 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.800 direct motives? Number two, are we hitting products that we 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.560 can even bring back to the United States? Coffee, I 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.839 keep on quoting, because you can't bring that back. There's 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.240 just there's no back. There's no way to grow a 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:24.080 book feed. No, there's certain chemicals, there are certain manufacturing 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.160 I remember reading an article of people in West Virginia saying, 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.800 we don't want to have our grandkids work in the 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:36.159 mind that we did that, the different mindsets, sometimes you 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:41.680 don't want it back. And also keep in mind tariffs 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:46.680 smooth holey like, there's been historical precedent where people don't 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.320 really love tariffs. They don't work out so well historically speaking. 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:55.160 But it was a campaign promise, so now it's being 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.440 used for multiple motives. And when you don't know what 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:02.760 that motive is, it's very hard for the markets to readjust. 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.400 Which is why we see all this volatility, the green one, 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.600 everything else. We just don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:11.040 and markets hate that. They like certainty, inconsistency, They hate 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.839 what's happening here relative to volatility. If you have a 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.039 product like Brazil any other countries with a fifty percent 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.600 plus teriff, right you kind of touched on a little bit, 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:26.000 But are there domestic alternatives or non tariff suppliers from 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:27.520 other countries? Are we starting to find. 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:32.520 That depends on the product. And the other minor issue 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.760 is depends also on the complexity of the product. You're 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:40.799 talking about supply chains and a very elaborate supply chain 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:47.920 system that has been created over years. So car manufacturer 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:51.359 and You've discussed that that takes years to build a 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:56.440 factory iPhones. You don't necessarily hear about new iPhone factories 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.760 being made in the US because it takes a good 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:04.080 degree your time. So with that in mind, it is 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:09.120 a mechanism that requires a good degree of time, and 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.480 people do want to be aligned to know why are 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:13.080 we doing this? 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:14.640 Potentially, yeah, what. 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.080 About something like clothing? For example? Is that I mean 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.600 we have cotton? Where are we able to manufacture clothing? 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:21.680 Take some of this stuff back? 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:27.480 All this in theory could be done because the other 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:31.480 question begs, we're used to going on Amazon buying a 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:35.560 shirt for five dollars? How are you going to possibly 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.000 do that in America with a fifteen to twenty dollars 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.560 hour minimum wage in most areas, it's not going to happen. 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.040 So the costs on the consumer. We're used to this 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:51.040 Amazon team world. Where does that go? 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.240 Well, some of us might say, go, well, you go 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:54.920 back to the old days. We made everything. It was 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.480 larger because of World War Two, Right, we're the only 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.360 giant left stand. We became a giant and everyone else, 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.640 you know, the European economy was in shambles because of 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.640 the war, Russia was not a player, India, China, and 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.400 they were all prehistoric colonies. But at that point a 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:12.360 lot of people haven't got anywhere near. So we've made 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.440 everything for the rest of the world because the infrastructure 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.560 was wiped out. So we got fat, happy and complacent 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.080 in the fifties, in a part of the sixties, and 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:21.600 then all of a sudden by the seventies, like the 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.800 Japanese came around with the auto industry. We started to 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.680 see that turn. So it's easy to unravel it and go, hey, 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:28.960 you know, we're gonna bring up the rest of the world. 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.880 We're gonna see prices drop resultless. But now we got 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.240 to the point where dependent on those foreign goods, you 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.480 can go one way, but you can't go back to 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.199 the way it was. You can't put the toothpaste back 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.280 in the tube and bring those jobs back here because 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.160 the cost of a T shirt would be like four 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:43.239 hundred dollars. 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.199 Well, the next question to me is do we want 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:52.600 that we had manufacturing here? Did we necessarily love having 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.720 factories all over? Right? We turned into a service towards 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:02.439 the economy yep, And you know, we turned into the 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.400 brains of the world. Developing stuff. If you look at 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:10.520 the top biggest companies Facebook, Twitter, you know, all social media, 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:18.360 our movie industry, we're not necessarily building U stuff. But 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:24.280 that said, we are the guys organizing and creating that service, 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.440 does that and want to change? Do we truly want 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:33.400 to have more coal factories or more this, or do 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:39.800 we enjoy ordering that stuff in the door? And yet 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.760 you know, having that privilege so to speak. 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.800 Yeah, I think that that's also reflect that's also reflected back. 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.320 Like kids, for example, used to be well, what do 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:50.679 you want to be? I want to be? Uh, I 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.760 don't know, I want to be an astronaut, right, don't 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.480 be a firefighter on being okay? And what kids want 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:56.559 to be influencers today? 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:57.400 Right? 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.600 Those are other service jobs? Did you agree? But largely 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.120 it was like and no one says, hey, you don't 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.120 I own to dig ditches from our life. Okay, it 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.720 just happens. But and we need those two to quote 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.079 Judge mails. But nonetheless, kids today want to be influencers. 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.320 I'm not quite sure you're that's a reflection of our 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.120 culture right now. We don't want to work harder, we 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:14.800 want arc smarter. 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:20.280 Yes, and that's what also is it change too. Where 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:24.640 we became the country that people are immigrating to educating 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:28.880 our population. Now we're having a brain drain of people 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.520 saying I'm not going to America, I'm not going to 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:35.000 trade to America, and that in turn does affect people 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.319 trying to learn or people trying to trade. If we're 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:42.600 running a business based on service, trade and the ability 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.640 to go country to country is vital to that. 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.480 It seems like a while back and it really wasn't, 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.560 but in this current climate, every every day feels like 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.520 a year that Trump said, hey, listen, we want Greenland, 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.240 and that kind of fizzled out. We then bomb the 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.880 hell out of Iran and I lost no sleep knowing that. 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.440 But the Iola was taken out and granted his son's 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.600 coming up. He may be injured. Who knows what's happening 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.560 in Iran. We need a strategy there because we're clearly 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.520 not getting help from our alleged allies. They don't want 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.800 any part of this whole thing. We're now talking about 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.240 taking over Cuba, and there's a lot of lip service, 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.880 of course, but overall, you know, you got to look 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:19.679 at the big picture. In America, we are still the 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.320 King of the mount It's going to take a while. 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.080 It could take a lot of effort to knock us 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.880 off of there because of our GDP and just what 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:27.320 we bring to the west of the world. So we've 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.280 got to keep this in perspective. But there's a real 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:30.679 danger here though, right and. 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:36.880 How it's a ripple effect and the more we demand things, 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.640 for example, Greenland, et cetera, you're having other countries they 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.520 can we trust America? Can we deal with America? Is 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:51.199 America the lead? How does America say, please don't invade Taiwan. 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:56.400 We're discussing this. But in addition trade One of the 0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:00.520 most successful campaigns I think America did during was when 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:05.160 we World War Two. We gave about bubblegum as soldiers 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:09.240 and everyone tasted Wrigley in Hershey's and became a brand name. 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.800 It wasn't as if the product was better nor worse, 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:17.040 but the brand was there and everyone wanted to feel American. 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.559 What happens when that changes. You're seeing it now in Kentucky. 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.920 Whiskey is going down because people do not want that. 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:26.760 That has that ripple effect. 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.880 One interesting saber rattling effects. 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.800 The other yeah, yeah, kind of the inverse is true. 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.520 I guess you know, back the soldiers coming home from 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.120 World War Two, they brought like Italian pizza wasn't a 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.600 thing until they came back from overseas and Italian food 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.240 took off. I mean just a small example, but you 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:44.920 know works both ways. You your culture influences others. Coca 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.320 Cola took off globally for that that same reason. 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:53.760 And these products that take off Coca Cola, McDonald's, taco bell. 0:12:54.800 --> 0:13:01.000 Spam is spam and a right, yeah. 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:05.560 Exactly, but are they necessarily the best product? Meaning are 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.800 you going to eat McDonald's coke and talk about and 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.599 become the healthiest human in the planet or are we 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.760 doing it because we want to feel good? And if 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:20.040 that feel good is gone or affected, maybe the feeling changes. 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.480 Maybe you have a negative feeling and you're seeing that 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.839 Kentucky whiskey that is down. 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.280 Yeah, it is. Well, start with Canada and elsewhere. So 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.400 the research in the study by the way, Dominic, miuz Erandino, 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.160 ninety six percent of tariff costs fall on US American consumers. 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.560 So ninety six cents of every dollar when it comes 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:41.640 to these tariffs are falling on the American Consumerly in 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.880 fourth CeNSE of that dollar, four percent are observed by 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.079 foreign exporters, and so we're seeing that two hundred billion 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.400 and customs revenue come back to us, and it's our 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.719 money to begin with, according to the study. Whether you 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:54.960 agree or disagree, I'll go with the research. And it 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.000 also shows its supply chains are sticky, so you know, 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.000 we'll just hey, we'll just switch supply. You can't really 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.400 do what's the real last timeline for first switch and suppliers. 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:06.679 I mean, you're in that business dominic. It's from I 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:08.240 understand it's damn near impossible. 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:15.560 It depends on what I know. Some situations are impossible. 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:20.360 I know a sunglasses manufacturer that wants the artisans who 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.680 are based in Italy, so she's like, I can't get 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:27.120 them to come over and magically teach those skills to 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:32.120 people here in America. That's not gonna work. Other cases, yes, 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:36.400 but we go back to that example of coffee. Yeah, 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:42.800 that is impossible. You cannot magically make coffee appear and 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.760 grow in places it can't grow. You're not going to 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.760 grow coffee in the Midwest, right, not going to happen. 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:54.000 So it does depend entirely on the product itself. But 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.640 the other challenge is one thing relates to the other. 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:00.600 So if you're building cars, you might have a factory 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:02.480 here where you still need to get the rubber in 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.000 without growing rubber trees in Ohio. You know, it's just 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:07.160 not going to happen. 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:11.000 Right, Yeah, And it's kind of a slow slog here, 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:12.840 and you hope, like at some point you see a payoff. 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.800 And of course we demand instant gratification here in the West. 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:17.960 That's another part of the problem too. You know when 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.280 the president on the trail says on day one, I'm 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:21.560 going to fix all the stuff, and here it is 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:25.240 a year later and it's not you know that that 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.120 just feeds that instant demand on demand side, whereas a 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:29.520 lot of the rest of the world, not all of it, 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.680 but they are more of a slow plu. I mean 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.280 you look at the Middle East, right though, China, everything else, 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.520 it's a long slow boils what it is. That's a 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.600 whole different mindset, and you know, our on demand society 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:40.960 here in America doesn't mesh up with that. 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:46.200 Well. Keep in mind, we have moved from a regional 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:51.000 economy to a global We are used to getting goods 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.480 that we really should not normally have gotten. If you're 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:58.000 sitting in Ohio, you're sitting in the Midwest, you're used 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:03.920 to getting product on TIMU in three minutes. But if 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:08.280 you think historically, that's not a norm that you would 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:12.360 just go online press a button. It was revolutionary when 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:16.720 we did this year's Robach catalog fifty years ago and 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:20.000 you could ship something over in weeks, and we moved 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.960 from that to an economy where we're getting it in 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:30.280 hours at times. It's a very elaborate system we've gotten 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:34.520 used to, and the challenge with that begs we're used 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:40.440 to it, what are we as American consumers willing to accept. 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.480 You know, I'm walking around. If you walk around one's 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:49.040 own home and you see simple things chemicals or cleaning products, 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.960 that is the global economy in which of those products 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:57.520 that you see in your home are not based in 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:58.160 the middle Not. 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:01.000 Many, not many. And we'll leave it at that. Dominic. 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.840 Miss Rendino's the CEO of Retail Tech Media and AXUS 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:07.800 Rtmnexus dot com. Uh following everything in the retail sector 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:09.639 relative to the terror SOMNA call the best. Thanks for 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:10.280 jumping on this morning. 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.960 Appreciate you amazing, Thank you so much. 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:16.080 Bottom line, the costs of everything today is way more 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:17.879 expensive and off the charts for a lot of people. 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:19.880 I saw this story too. I should have pointed out 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.640 that a record number of Americans are tapping into their 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.480 four oh one CA's early and we're carrying a huge 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.760 amount of credit card debt. At some point, it's got 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.439 to give. It's got to give h the latest on 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.000 the war efforts in Iran and what our move is, 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.679 what's our off ramp. We can't get help from the 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:38.800 rest of the Western world. What does this mean? And 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:40.320 where do we go from here? It's the big question. 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:43.040 We'll get into that afternoons on seven hundred w old 0:17:43.080 --> 0:18:01.119 World Friday sign I'll tell you this has the potential 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:06.840 to be the best trial of all time, all time. 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:18.040 So Afroman who did the song, but he is involved 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:22.159 in the law. It's a buck wild story between Afroman 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:27.040 and an Adam County Sheriff's department, and the jury is 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:32.919 about to hear the kick. So back in one was 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:36.760 a twenty twenty two. They raid his home much more 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.160 like a compound. Let's say he's got RVs and cars, 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.200 and it's amazing how one hits song can't make it 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.760 that kind of money. But and it's just like you know, 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.840 Glenside looks like an ordinary type of Adams County farmhouse. Right, 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:52.480 So anyway, Afroman is at his house or I don't 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:54.119 even know he was there at the time, but there 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:57.120 was a suspicion of drug trafficking and kidnapping, and how 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:00.320 they came up with those charges beyond me. That's going 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.880 to come out in court. And so if you've remember 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.480 seeing the video of this, the entry, right, they have 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:09.280 like an m rapp They've got all their tactical gear 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.760 run and it's like a swat rate. They go in 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:16.520 the house and they find instead of finding drug trafficking 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:19.800 and a dungeon with kidnapped victims in there, they found 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:25.120 a vapepen, a roach, part of a joint, and five 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:29.399 thousand dollars cash in the house. And so obviously they 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.440 did not file charges, but they broke his gate down, 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:34.480 the kick in the door, they caused some property damage, 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.439 ripped some stuff down, and they eventually they were holding 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:39.399 on to it and seizing it. But because of the 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:42.040 public pressure and the outcry, they returned his five thousand 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:47.520 dollars minus four hundred dollars that they allegedly miscounted the money. 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:49.600 I thought I was bad at but I'm pretty good 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:52.920 accounting money, but math I'm bad at. So he has 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:56.240 had surveillance footage and he took that and turned it 0:19:56.280 --> 0:20:00.280 into music videos and merch, including the song Lemon pomp Cake, 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:04.760 which is fantastic. And he was because a rather portly 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:08.280 deputy was in the kitchen with gun drawn and he 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:11.640 looked and did a second look at a would look 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.040 like a very delicious lemon pound cake that his mama 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.199 made was sitting there under glass. He did, who that 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:21.320 pundcake looks good. He's gotten like over three million views 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.840 on social and on YouTube with the video. But there's 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.520 seven deputies did the raid and detectives, and they sued 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:33.240 Afroman because they claimed he used their likenesses without permission 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:35.600 to fame them and cause emotional distress. Meanwhile, I mean, 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:38.439 you broke in new house under I guess false assumption 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:40.840 he got wrong. There was no apology offered for this 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.200 or and they delayed the restitution. They held out of 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:45.160 the money. So he's like, fine, I'm going to take 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:47.520 my home video and I'm going to turn it into 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:52.960 music music videos using you guys of the foils and 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:56.520 one of the deputies, a female, broke down in tears 0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:00.359 yesterday in court because there was a suggestive music video 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:02.879 about her played for the jury. And then after the 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:07.680 isis was right before the trial started, he posted new 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.800 song on so I'm Sorry during the trial. Another one 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:14.399 making fun of Sergeant Randy Walters by name and his 0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:17.160 defense is, look, if they hadn't wrongly raided my house 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:19.680 and did what they did, there would be no lawsuit involved. 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:23.639 But the best part about it, the ultimate fu is 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:25.480 that he is wearing he's in court, he's wearing this 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:29.000 American flag suit and he's got American flag glasses like 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:31.879 the lenses on the glasses of the American flag, and 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.639 the suit is an American flag. It's it's incredible. But 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.080 the best part is wearing that suit. He drops this 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.800 banger the day before the trial starts. 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:48.879 Mine. 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:53.240 I've seen the corruption of the Adam County cops. Still 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:57.320 in money's still in take when they make they traffic stops, 0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:00.080 first they screw you, then they sue you play a 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:08.160 game man, dismiss your claims the proof Sondy inner, Ah 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:13.400 bro Man, We'll bring it to yeah.

Trust me, I heard it once and I've 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:42.399 been singing it since I proved seven this morning. 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:50.000 Ah bro Man, we'll bring it to Yeah. Ah bro 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:55.200 Man is gone a dude, Yeah, ah bro Man, He's 0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:59.439 gonna screw yeah my proof sony in. 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:03.880 I'm most always a pro law enforcement guy, Like it's 0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:05.560 a tough job. I don't know how you do that. 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:08.240 I don't know how you see what you see. That'side 0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:11.040 of humanity on a daily, hourly, minute by minute, second 0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:14.280 by second basis, and have it not affect you personally, emotionally, 0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:16.399 affect your relationships and how you live your It's a 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:18.320 and for the money you make and the danger you 0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:23.080 put yourself in. Ak Larry Henderson, I have the ultimate 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:25.160 respect for law enforcem but there are times where clearly 0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:27.399 they're in the wrong. And I think that's the problem today, 0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:30.880 whether it's this or politics, is we either either if 0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:33.520 you're for someone, you can't be critical of them, And 0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:36.000 I think that's insane. I think that's where we got 0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:40.040 to where we are today in society. No one admits 0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:42.080 they're ever wrong. They just double down on the stupid 0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:44.080 or they go, hey, you know what this I support 0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:46.080 this person, but we got problems. I'll get to that 0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:49.720 in a second with the president, But in this case, 0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:52.439 I look at what data. Dam's kind of going, Okay, 0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:55.359 you had a warrant, and you know how hard is 0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:57.960 it to get a warrant. But he's trafficking drugs. He's 0:23:58.040 --> 0:24:01.280 kidnapping people. And they go in and they found baked 0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:04.320 goods and some money. I mean, you're allowed to have 0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:07.080 a vap pen and a joint. He didn't have bundles 0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:09.600 of weed laying around, you know, like he was traving in. 0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:11.280 It was like a little bit of drug. He's a rapper, 0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:13.119 for godsake. You don't think you're gonna find he's a 0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:14.920 hip hop arts. You don't think you're gonna find some weed. 0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:18.400 Hell you if you came and raided my house, you'd 0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:20.200 find more. I don't know, I know about the five 0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:25.359 thousand dollars, right, Like, if that's a crime. Now what 0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:30.040 are we doing, let alone the kidnapping charge. But I 0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:32.440 think it's interesting, you know that the lawsuit itself, because 0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:34.960 the Adams kind of shafts are suing him, the individuals 0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:38.399 for because they degraded him. It's like, well, you know, 0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:40.919 first of all, you were acting in a public capacity, 0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:44.200 so that opens up and makes it very, very difficult 0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:47.639 to prove liable and slander. But it's his footage on 0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:50.560 his property. He didn't hack a serve at the police department. 0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:53.680 He used his own surveillance cameras that the officers saw 0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:56.320 in there. And you're allowed to put cameras in your 0:24:56.359 --> 0:24:58.359 own home, You're allowed to put cameras in the outside 0:24:58.359 --> 0:25:01.800 of your home pointing to public spots. That's a pretty 0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:05.359 significant distinction and ownership and consent. You don't need consent 0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:09.080 for that. On top of that, no charges were ever filed, 0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:11.400 so I think that undermines any claim that the raid 0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:15.240 was justified and weakened. See, we were just doing our jobs, 0:25:15.320 --> 0:25:17.320 narrative you were, because I mean, I don't think you 0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:21.199 were the one individuals who pulled the warrant. Maybe you 0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:24.520 got bad intel. And on top of that, courts for 0:25:24.560 --> 0:25:26.760 a long time. And this is where the president comes 0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:29.240 in with, you know, Jimmy Kimmel and others. Is, courts 0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:32.240 are historically given wide latitude to political and social commentary, 0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:35.040 and mocking a government official or in this case, a 0:25:35.119 --> 0:25:36.800 raid on your home is about as clear case or 0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:40.200 protected status as you can get. And they're acting in 0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:42.600 official capacity. It's not like they were off duty doing stuff. 0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:45.520 They'd be a little bit different. But deputies executing a 0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:49.040 warrant aren't private citizens, so that lowers that expectation of 0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.879 privacy even more. In a day and age where cops 0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:55.520 rightly so have body cameras and dash cameras, and in 0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:58.080 almost all, not all cases, but almost all of them 0:25:59.359 --> 0:26:03.160 winds up exact honerating police officers. It helps the cameras 0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:05.760 in the video helps comps more than it does the defendants. 0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:10.040 In this case, it's not true. The opposite was true, 0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:13.680 and he said he publicly created the content to raise 0:26:13.760 --> 0:26:16.280 money to cover the damages they cause. That's how are 0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:17.440 you going to beat that up in court with a 0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:21.720 jury that's sympathetic. It's defensible. Now. Some of the suggestive content, 0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:25.040 the sexually ones of deputy phelps the female that could 0:26:25.080 --> 0:26:31.280 kind of hurt him with the suggestive innuendo, and maybe, 0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:33.480 I don't know, the merchandise sales maybe undermine this too. 0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:35.119 I suppose now I think of it because there's a 0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:37.560 commercial component of this. But if you're using the merchandise 0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:41.240 sales to as a as a crowdsourcing thing to fund 0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:44.080 your defense, I think a jury look at that and 0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:47.160 go that makes sense. I mean, it's an interesting case 0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:51.679 using his own video surveillance to satirize that this this 0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:55.680 box government raid, but it just makes the whole thing laughable. 0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:57.800 I don't think jury sits that and sees the context 0:26:57.840 --> 0:26:59.680 and how he's doing his tongue in chic. I don't 0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:01.280 think you you know you're gonna throw the book at 0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:02.679 this guy. I don't know how you could be sympathy 0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:05.600 not sympathetic towards him. So it's kind of a weak case. 0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:08.640 And you know what, quite honestly, this is another example 0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:12.840 of well, you know, the Constitution and your consulship rights 0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:15.679 and your own protection to your own home. The cops 0:27:15.720 --> 0:27:17.879 get the warrant wrong and there's got to be a 0:27:17.920 --> 0:27:21.280 remedy for that, and you pick the wrong guy's house 0:27:21.320 --> 0:27:21.600 to rate. 0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:22.320 I guess. 0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:27.920 That does happen, that does happen, other stuff going on, 0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:29.760 So we'll follow that because I think as just it's 0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:33.119 it's hysterical and anything that's funny, I like funny. Funny 0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:38.080 is good. Funny is good. All right, So we don't 0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:40.800 know what to make of this center Republicans and the 0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:43.679 Save America Act. I think most Americans agree, like, is 0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:45.440 it really that big an ask to have an idea 0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:47.560 when you go vote No? I mean we do it 0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:50.080 in Ohio. It doesn't seem to be a high bardy jumpover. 0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:54.080 The problem I have, I think is just the two side. 0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:56.000 And you know the politics. I think we're shutting down 0:27:56.040 --> 0:27:58.600 the government. You got TSA agents that aren't getting paid. 0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:01.960 And if you've traveled recently, I don't know people have traveled. 0:28:02.960 --> 0:28:05.360 We traveled, but just kind of beat this thing out. 0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:07.680 We got lucky, but what a pain in the ass. 0:28:09.480 --> 0:28:11.239 And I you know, the thing is people get mad 0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:14.800 at tsagents and like they're making them do their jobs, 0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:17.359 are basically forcing them to go to work without getting paid. 0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:19.960 And now it's past the point of absurdity because this 0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:21.720 is like the third time we've done this where the 0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:24.639 ts agents don't get paid and you know, you have bills, 0:28:25.080 --> 0:28:26.760 you have a car payment, you got a mortgage, you 0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:29.840 got childcare, you got all these things, and if money's 0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:31.960 not coming in, you can only live on that so long. 0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:34.000 It's not like, you know, you're making billions of dollars 0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:36.720 being a TSA agent and now you have to go 0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:39.600 to work and you're losing money on the deal. You know, 0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:42.000 the propriety and fairness here is just it's it's a 0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:46.840 terrible look. It's a terrible look. And so getting the 0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:49.000 Save America Acting doesn't seem to be a high hurdle 0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:50.760 to jump here in the sense that, you know, the 0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:54.040 GFP insists that the debate allowed them to spotlight election 0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:57.400 fraud and draw attention to Trump's proposed solutions to this. 0:28:57.520 --> 0:28:59.479 But you know, this is the one side of that 0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:01.200 that I don't like is the fact that Okay, I 0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:02.800 think all of us a great well not all of us, 0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:05.239 but go, okay, well, what's the big deal offer? Non 0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:06.800 id We do it all the time. I don't have 0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:09.840 a problem with that, I guess, And this really doesn't 0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:12.800 changed things unless you start factoring how much is this 0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:14.840 going to cost us? Does this cost anything to do this? 0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:18.800 I'm sure there's some added costs in there. But my 0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:21.280 point is, you know, we keep spending more money, we 0:29:21.320 --> 0:29:24.320 don't have this. This is to add another layer to 0:29:24.360 --> 0:29:28.200 that because quite honestly, the rates of election fraud are 0:29:28.240 --> 0:29:31.760 extremely low. You know when the Heritage Foundation comes out 0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:34.280 and they said there's a point zero zero zero zero 0:29:34.400 --> 0:29:38.880 seven percent of elections have fraud in them. And that's 0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:41.320 a conservative thing tank. I think we're doing pretty good. 0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:45.320 Is this a Is this a solution in search of 0:29:45.320 --> 0:29:47.760 a problem? In many ways it is. But the other 0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:51.200 side of this thing are the Democratic lawmakers, as expected, 0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:53.680 voting against it. So they continue to shut down TSA. 0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:57.280 And you know, we hear about the the mass and 0:29:57.480 --> 0:30:00.600 clamped down a mail in balloting scam. But in Ohio 0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:03.880 that's not happening, Kentucky, that's not Indiana's not happening. I 0:30:03.920 --> 0:30:07.080 can't vouch your other states. But then you address that 0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:10.760 at the state level. But Democrats are talking about, once 0:30:10.800 --> 0:30:14.240 again the tired argument about voter suppression. It's voter suppression, 0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:18.520 said to Fritz Schumer, twenty million, maybe more twenty million 0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:20.240 people be told when they show up to vote, you're 0:30:20.280 --> 0:30:26.280 off the rolls. That's the problem. Is that really happening. 0:30:28.400 --> 0:30:29.680 I don't think it is. I mean, if voting is 0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:32.239 that important to you, you go out and you get 0:30:32.240 --> 0:30:33.760 a state ID. You don't need a driver's life. You 0:30:33.800 --> 0:30:36.880 just need a state ID. It's really not that big 0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:39.080 an ass quite honestly, you need it in many states. 0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:42.320 But twenty million people, I mean, come on, the other 0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:45.280 thing is every time something like this happens, the cry 0:30:45.480 --> 0:30:50.680 is voterse we're being suppressed. For God's sakes. Man, It's 0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:55.440 easier to vote today than ever before. Just Ohio, loone. 0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:59.800 You got thirty days. You can vote from your arm, 0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:02.160 you can vote on your toilet, you can vote sitting 0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:05.400 in your car, having your coffee, at the table, wherever 0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:11.800 you want. It's not hard. One day of voting was 0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:14.600 much much more difficult than the way it is today. 0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:17.200 So the screen voter suppression, I need an idea. I mean, 0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:19.520 you got to be engaged too. I mean, there's got 0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:22.480 to be some responsibility on the part of the voter. 0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:25.640 You know, you kind of have to know what day 0:31:25.640 --> 0:31:27.160 it is. You kind of have to know what month 0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:28.840 it is. You have to know what's on the ballot. 0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:31.520 You know, do you want I guess if it's Shumer 0:31:31.560 --> 0:31:34.600 do you want someone showing up to everyone's home or 0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:38.120 apartment or condo or trailer or tent or whatever it 0:31:38.200 --> 0:31:42.320 is and go, hey, here's your ballot. I'm sorry, there's 0:31:42.880 --> 0:31:46.360 a threshold for a participation here in the threshold is 0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:52.480 pretty easy to cross. And so this is getting debate 0:31:52.560 --> 0:31:54.360 and concerns our race. I don't know where it's going 0:31:54.400 --> 0:31:56.560 to go, but it just continues on and online. And 0:31:57.080 --> 0:32:00.760 you know, I guess that I look at this thing, 0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:02.560 and I think most people go, Okay, well, what's the 0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:05.600 problem here? Ask him for he isn't really that big? 0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:05.840 Is it? 0:32:05.880 --> 0:32:10.920 Another? It's the falsehood of election fraud. Republicans love screaming 0:32:10.920 --> 0:32:14.600 a by election fraud even though it rarely happens, extremely 0:32:14.680 --> 0:32:17.040 rare that it happens. And when you ask, hey, war 0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:19.200 is the proof? Well, we saw research that said, I 0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:21.400 don't know your own think tanks are showing there none, 0:32:21.480 --> 0:32:25.040 This isn't happening. And on that point, when Trump screams 0:32:25.080 --> 0:32:27.480 about again, he goes back to twenty twenty being a 0:32:27.520 --> 0:32:29.959 stolen election. So if that were true, this big consierrat 0:32:29.960 --> 0:32:32.600 to prevent conspiracy to brandsh him from winning the election. 0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:37.120 How did you get elected in the first place. How 0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:40.240 do you get elected twice? It's only the fraud goes away. 0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:42.960 There's this whole system in place for fraud. Okay, it's 0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:46.680 all frauded. Well, if that were the case, a Republican 0:32:46.760 --> 0:32:49.280 would never get elected, right, If it were that widespread, 0:32:49.320 --> 0:32:52.840 that could change the course of an American election. I 0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:55.640 don't understand. How do you win the first time? To 0:32:55.680 --> 0:32:57.840 your to your surprise by the way you he was 0:32:57.840 --> 0:32:59.640 a look on his face and it's like, oh, did 0:32:59.680 --> 0:33:01.920 I just win? I didn't see that. It was a bit. 0:33:02.760 --> 0:33:04.960 I was just goofing, I really do want this job. 0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:10.480 On Inaugury or when the when the results came in, 0:33:10.760 --> 0:33:13.200 he gave a speech. He looked like, holy crap, this 0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:17.920 is for real kind of funny. And so four years 0:33:17.920 --> 0:33:20.080 of that then it was like, okay, it's not working. 0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:21.920 Like with Up, we'll try Biden for a while. That 0:33:22.320 --> 0:33:25.280 was a disaster, and so we're back to Trump again. 0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:26.920 So I don't know how you go back and they 0:33:27.000 --> 0:33:29.600 well it's all rigged anyway. Is it only rigged when 0:33:29.640 --> 0:33:32.040 you lose? Because quite know his personality is he just 0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:34.800 can't take the l If he gets an l it's 0:33:34.800 --> 0:33:37.200 somebody else's fault. If it's a dub, he takes credit. 0:33:37.560 --> 0:33:40.600 That's how it works with him. So there's an election 0:33:40.680 --> 0:33:42.600 fraud going on, and if it is, it's really, really, 0:33:42.640 --> 0:33:45.080 really small. It's not changing the outcome of elections at all. 0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:50.920 On the other side, screaming about how you're disenfranchised because 0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:52.719 they make you show an ID, which we all have, 0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:56.760 seems a very weak argument considering you got thirty days 0:33:56.800 --> 0:34:00.120 to vote. It's very very easy to participate and our 0:34:00.160 --> 0:34:05.840 electoral process. Asking for ID doesn't stop that. And if 0:34:05.880 --> 0:34:08.480 you don't have an idea, it's pretty easy to get one. 0:34:09.560 --> 0:34:09.759 You know. 0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:11.239 You do kind of have to show up and do 0:34:11.280 --> 0:34:15.759 stuff to participate in society, like complaining about high gas 0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:17.719 prices when you don't have a car. I don't get it, 0:34:17.800 --> 0:34:20.239 I really really don't. We'll get a news update here 0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:23.319 in just minutes on seven hundred WLW. Not all this show, 0:34:23.400 --> 0:34:25.600 certainly not all politics and the like, but we have 0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:30.360 March Madison full effect. We have Miami playing tonight in 0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:34.000 the play in game. And so it begins just sitting 0:34:34.160 --> 0:34:37.640 mindlessly in front of your screen, your streaming device or 0:34:37.640 --> 0:34:40.000 your TV, or maybe sitting in a bar for the 0:34:40.040 --> 0:34:43.840 next four straight days just watching college basketball. It's a 0:34:43.880 --> 0:34:46.879 glorious time to be alive, for sure. And so maybe 0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:48.560 you're going to do this at home in your TV 0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:51.359 might be a little janky. Maybe you're thinking about getting 0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:54.080 a new one. Got a guy for I got a guy. 0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:57.400 His name is Will Greenwald. He writes for PC magazine, 0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:00.719 and he said, yeah, maybe you don't need an Maybe 0:35:00.719 --> 0:35:02.400 you needed all those settings. Do you ever get in 0:35:02.480 --> 0:35:04.480 your settings thing and the TV? I don't know how 0:35:04.520 --> 0:35:06.479 many women square around with that, but you know, guys, 0:35:06.520 --> 0:35:09.799 we're notorious for tinkering with stuff. And there's all these 0:35:09.880 --> 0:35:11.680 crazy settings in your menu and you look at it 0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:13.520 and go, I have no idea what any of this 0:35:13.560 --> 0:35:16.880 stuff does. Well, you're not alone. You're not alone anyway. 0:35:16.920 --> 0:35:19.960 He'll walk us through that and maybe maximizing that because 0:35:20.120 --> 0:35:22.040 I think sports when you have a TV, and you know, 0:35:22.080 --> 0:35:24.120 we're in the Arab big screen TVs maybe on your 0:35:24.120 --> 0:35:25.480 phone not that big a deal, but if you got 0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:27.640 a big one on your wall, you're like, man, you know, 0:35:27.719 --> 0:35:30.680 the action looks a little jumpy. Do you ever see that? 0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:33.279 Like football? Especially like the football looks like it's out 0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:36.200 of focus, or there's two or three basketballs on the 0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:39.000 screen and the guys that they're moving kind of sluggish. 0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:40.960 There might be a way to fix that. Anyway, we'll 0:35:41.040 --> 0:35:42.960 join the show next to discuss that coming up, maybe 0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:45.839 saving a little bit of money and and extending your 0:35:45.960 --> 0:35:50.560 enjoyment of total mindless relaxation in the form of college 0:35:50.600 --> 0:35:53.640 basketball with March Madness. Scott Sloan Show continues here home 0:35:53.680 --> 0:35:55.880 of the Red seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati. 0:35:56.120 --> 0:35:57.680 Do you want to be an Amican? 0:35:59.000 --> 0:36:01.160 You got so? 0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:02.200 Do you need a new TV? 0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:03.759 Of course you need a new TV. Everybody is a 0:36:03.800 --> 0:36:05.319 new TV, just ball one. But I need a new 0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:08.200 TV because I like stuff. I like gadgets. Maybe you don't. 0:36:08.239 --> 0:36:10.239 Maybe you don't need a TV if you look at 0:36:10.280 --> 0:36:12.040 the settings. You ever look at the settings on your TV? 0:36:12.320 --> 0:36:14.360 You got game mode, you got motion smooth, and you 0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:17.319 got noise reduction. How you think color temperature is a 0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:19.799 setting on your wash or don't you? And you don't 0:36:19.800 --> 0:36:21.759 even know what all those settings do. You don't have 0:36:21.800 --> 0:36:24.399 a damn clue what any of that stuff does either 0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:27.120 do what? And this is especially relevant today because we 0:36:27.200 --> 0:36:29.759 begin March Madness. And so maybe your picture is a 0:36:29.760 --> 0:36:32.280 little I don't know, it's jumpy, or it looks laggy, 0:36:32.400 --> 0:36:35.080 or the ball looks really really really bad, looks square 0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:37.680 or out of focus. I got a guy. I got 0:36:37.680 --> 0:36:39.279 a guy for you. I got a guy. You need 0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:41.000 a guy, I got a guy. It's gonna help you out. 0:36:41.160 --> 0:36:44.400 He is the Home Theater Expert for PC magazine and 0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:49.279 ISF certified TV Calibrator and a TXH their certified Home 0:36:49.320 --> 0:36:51.080 Theater Technician. He's Will Greenwald. 0:36:51.280 --> 0:36:51.520 Will. 0:36:51.560 --> 0:36:53.480 That's a lot of titles on a small business card. 0:36:53.520 --> 0:36:53.880 What's up? 0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:58.000 Thanks you to be here. Yeah. 0:36:58.080 --> 0:36:58.279 Yeah. 0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:00.759 There are a lot of things if you can play 0:37:00.800 --> 0:37:02.080 with with your TV, and a lot of things you 0:37:02.080 --> 0:37:05.200 shouldn't touch. Generally, if you see a slider in your 0:37:05.480 --> 0:37:08.360 TV's menu system, you shouldn't tweak it too much, but 0:37:08.480 --> 0:37:09.560 there are a lot of things you can do with 0:37:09.719 --> 0:37:13.359 just like a picture precess, your TV might start at 0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:16.440 standard or vivid, and that's bad because they make it 0:37:16.480 --> 0:37:18.840 look overly blue because that's what pops out most, but 0:37:18.880 --> 0:37:21.520 it's inaccurate. If you just set your TV to movie 0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:24.480 or cinema, that will generally get it too about as 0:37:24.520 --> 0:37:27.239 accurate the colors will be without fully calibrating, and you 0:37:27.239 --> 0:37:30.799 don't want to get into those weeds. So yeah, out 0:37:30.800 --> 0:37:32.680 of the box, you can actually get pretty accurate colors 0:37:32.719 --> 0:37:34.879 if you just notice which it's to. These settings will 0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:36.680 look kind of warm to you at first, but that 0:37:36.800 --> 0:37:39.400 is the accurate color for any movie or show you're watching. 0:37:39.520 --> 0:37:41.600 Yeah, depending on the set, right, there's some things you 0:37:41.640 --> 0:37:44.320 get in and by the way, before we begin, will 0:37:44.560 --> 0:37:47.439 because I'm kind of dumb with this stuff. What don't 0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:49.080 if I see some what don't I want to touch? 0:37:49.120 --> 0:37:53.000 Tell me where the red button is the apple if you 0:37:53.080 --> 0:37:55.040 will in the Bible, tell me where that is? So 0:37:55.120 --> 0:37:57.440 I don't even look at it? What exactly? What do 0:37:57.520 --> 0:37:59.399 you mean? There's things you don't touch? What is that? 0:38:00.719 --> 0:38:04.600 If you see something like this might sound counter counterintuitive, 0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:07.839 but if you see brightness, that usually doesn't actually change 0:38:07.840 --> 0:38:09.840 how bright the TV is. That is actually the black 0:38:09.920 --> 0:38:13.360 level how the TV measures darks. Gotcha contrast, It is 0:38:13.360 --> 0:38:16.280 the same thing for light things and for color tint. 0:38:16.520 --> 0:38:18.600 Don't touch that, you will completely throw off the color. 0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:20.920 And if you want to get into anything more granular 0:38:20.960 --> 0:38:24.240 than that, you kind of need training and sometimes fancy equipment. 0:38:24.719 --> 0:38:27.520 So basically, just stick to the precess picture settings. Usually, 0:38:28.000 --> 0:38:30.160 if there's a separate backlight setting to make it brighter. 0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:33.400 That'll help. And if you can turn off the light sensor, 0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:35.839 it might say adaptive brightness, turn that off, because that'll 0:38:35.840 --> 0:38:39.000 make your TV look weirdly dim. But otherwise, try to 0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:41.120 stay clear of anything that has like a number next 0:38:41.120 --> 0:38:41.439 to it? 0:38:42.280 --> 0:38:44.080 Gotcha? Or it's like are you sure you want to 0:38:44.120 --> 0:38:46.880 do this? That's always the worry for me. It's like 0:38:47.000 --> 0:38:49.120 you sure you want to do this? Like yeah, okay, 0:38:49.120 --> 0:38:50.960 I'm gonna get out of this program. I probably don't 0:38:50.960 --> 0:38:52.319 want a monkey with that too much? All right, good 0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:55.359 good news. Don't don't touch the third rail. That's bad. 0:38:56.120 --> 0:38:58.880 There's something called motion smoothing, and you kind of know 0:38:58.880 --> 0:39:00.239 this when you watch sports. You know, we just watch 0:39:00.239 --> 0:39:02.920 the super Bowl, We've got March Madness coming up. Can 0:39:02.960 --> 0:39:05.319 you walk through why this? This is the feature that 0:39:05.600 --> 0:39:07.440 you know tells me to turn it off for movies? 0:39:07.520 --> 0:39:09.600 But what does this do for sports? 0:39:10.800 --> 0:39:12.560 Well, if you've heard of in the Sofa opera fact, 0:39:12.600 --> 0:39:15.239 it's that weird kind of too smooth view you get 0:39:15.239 --> 0:39:17.000 when you're watching a show or a movie and the 0:39:17.040 --> 0:39:19.960 motion movings on it just looks like they're moving weird. 0:39:20.640 --> 0:39:23.400 You don't want it for that, but for sports What 0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:27.239 it does is makes certain motion seem smoother and going 0:39:27.320 --> 0:39:30.000 left and right rapidly, like on a court or a field, 0:39:30.400 --> 0:39:33.000 that makes things jutter a lot. There's chopping us and 0:39:33.080 --> 0:39:36.600 motion smoothing will reduce that and it just generally will 0:39:36.600 --> 0:39:39.520 look better, specifically for sports, but anything else you do 0:39:39.600 --> 0:39:42.120 want to disable it. It's usually called a true motion 0:39:42.440 --> 0:39:46.160 or on my LGTV or you know, clear motion. Motion 0:39:46.280 --> 0:39:47.680 is usually in the title, but it might be something 0:39:47.760 --> 0:39:48.319 kind of more. 0:39:48.800 --> 0:39:49.000 Yeah. 0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:51.319 Okay, so you find that setting in you know, on 0:39:51.400 --> 0:39:53.440 and off depending on what you're watching, but most people 0:39:53.480 --> 0:39:55.359 just kind of turn their TV on and don't really 0:39:55.400 --> 0:39:59.279 do anything. When you turn your TV on, your monitor on, 0:39:59.440 --> 0:40:01.760 do you monk with the settings before watching a particular 0:40:01.800 --> 0:40:02.799 show or do you have it all. 0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:06.040 Programmed when it turned on. I make sure it's that's 0:40:06.040 --> 0:40:09.480 two movie myself, because it does get really close and 0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:12.480 for most things I watch, that's pretty much good. If 0:40:12.520 --> 0:40:14.960 I am going to watch sports, I'm a huge on it. 0:40:15.040 --> 0:40:17.400 But if I'm gonna that'll turn on motion smoothing. Otherwise 0:40:17.400 --> 0:40:19.239 I'm just disable it and have it all do what 0:40:19.280 --> 0:40:22.160 the source is doing, because that's usually best to my eyes. 0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:23.400 Okay, you can change. 0:40:23.200 --> 0:40:24.719 It to your taste, and even if you if your 0:40:24.760 --> 0:40:27.719 TV has a sports setting, that will make things bluer. 0:40:27.440 --> 0:40:28.400 Than it should be, but it. 0:40:29.920 --> 0:40:32.440 Might look better to your eyes, and it will probably 0:40:32.440 --> 0:40:34.480 turn over the motion smoothing so it'll get those settings 0:40:34.560 --> 0:40:35.000 in a row. 0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:37.800 Gotcha, gotcha? Which is important with you know, basketball and 0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:40.560 the light coming up will There are times you're watching 0:40:40.560 --> 0:40:42.239 a show where there's like a dark screen with what 0:40:42.440 --> 0:40:45.080 and you'll see like splotches of I don't know of, 0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:47.640 like white in there in a movie or something like that. 0:40:48.080 --> 0:40:50.040 When it's really really dark. What is that? How do 0:40:50.080 --> 0:40:50.640 I get rid of that? 0:40:51.960 --> 0:40:54.480 It's called light bloom and it's unfortunately kind of a 0:40:54.760 --> 0:40:58.120 reality to what a lot of TVs do because TVs 0:40:58.160 --> 0:41:00.720 are not just one panel. There's a panel of liquid 0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:03.400 crystal which makes the pictures the color, all the pixels, 0:41:03.880 --> 0:41:06.279 but it doesn't emit life. So there is life behind it. 0:41:06.640 --> 0:41:08.319 And it might be just a big flat light which 0:41:08.360 --> 0:41:09.919 it doesn't get dark at all because it all needs 0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:11.400 to be lit up, or there are a bunch of 0:41:11.480 --> 0:41:14.200 little zones of lights which can dim and get bright. 0:41:14.520 --> 0:41:16.759 But there aren't as many zones, not nearly as many 0:41:16.840 --> 0:41:20.239 as there are pixels, so when an edge between black 0:41:20.280 --> 0:41:23.239 and white lights up, there's going to be some haze. 0:41:23.680 --> 0:41:26.040 You don't get this with an OLED TV, and it 0:41:26.080 --> 0:41:28.839 is reduced with you get a high end mini LEDTV, 0:41:29.440 --> 0:41:31.640 But otherwise it's kind of just a reality of having 0:41:32.239 --> 0:41:33.040 an LEDTV. 0:41:33.239 --> 0:41:33.560 Gotcha. 0:41:33.719 --> 0:41:36.000 It gets really bright, but you're going to have the haze, yeah. 0:41:35.800 --> 0:41:37.560 And there's no way to correct that. And unless you 0:41:37.560 --> 0:41:39.480 get into a really really expensive model. Now, the more 0:41:39.520 --> 0:41:41.840 money you have, the less that probably comes properly. 0:41:42.880 --> 0:41:45.400 Right, Like I said, O LED will remove it completely 0:41:45.440 --> 0:41:48.680 because that's a different technology and it looks really cool. 0:41:48.719 --> 0:41:50.520 It doesn't get as bright, but it has no light 0:41:50.560 --> 0:41:53.400 bloom at all because each pixel adjusts this brightness. 0:41:53.920 --> 0:41:55.719 If you are a real cinophile like you, where do 0:41:55.719 --> 0:41:58.160 you go with you? O? LED and LED many LED, 0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:00.239 because there's countless ones out there, Which ones best? 0:42:02.200 --> 0:42:04.960 I love OLED in general because its colors are usually 0:42:04.960 --> 0:42:07.720 fantastic and its life control is great, and it doesn't 0:42:07.719 --> 0:42:09.880 need to be super bright because modern like good O 0:42:10.080 --> 0:42:14.000 leads are, they're bright enough to do HDR content, which 0:42:14.040 --> 0:42:17.800 is that the fancier streaming content justice. So it's great 0:42:18.200 --> 0:42:20.279 if you do with something really bright, though, if you 0:42:20.320 --> 0:42:22.000 say you have a room that gets a lot of sun, 0:42:22.520 --> 0:42:25.920 you might wuldn't get a mini LED that gets super 0:42:26.000 --> 0:42:29.040 super brighter, And companies like high Sins and TCL are 0:42:29.040 --> 0:42:31.759 making ones that just put out three four times as 0:42:31.800 --> 0:42:35.000 much light as any old, and those are great too. 0:42:35.080 --> 0:42:36.759 You got to deal with the light bloom, but they 0:42:36.800 --> 0:42:39.840 have their own advantages, and it really depends on also 0:42:39.880 --> 0:42:42.360 the size and budget because olds are usually much more expensive. 0:42:42.719 --> 0:42:45.520 Will Greenwald is a PC magazine's home theater expert on 0:42:45.560 --> 0:42:48.680 the show this Morning on seven hundred WLW. People spend 0:42:48.719 --> 0:42:50.840 on average over eleven hundred dollars a new TV, but 0:42:50.920 --> 0:42:53.200 they are professional level adjustments. This is the adjustice you 0:42:53.200 --> 0:42:55.359 can make to your current TV for free, provided say 0:42:55.360 --> 0:42:58.719 flat screens LED or O LED, because there's a lot 0:42:58.719 --> 0:43:01.120 of things that you can tweak in there to get 0:43:01.160 --> 0:43:04.400 what you want. We talked about brightness and color accuracy 0:43:04.440 --> 0:43:06.839 is another one, like I have no idea, I'm looking 0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:09.600 at blue. I think it's blue. You see probably an 0:43:09.760 --> 0:43:12.439 entire palette. Because you're an expert in this thing. When 0:43:12.560 --> 0:43:14.319 you start to get in the color settings, how do 0:43:14.400 --> 0:43:16.960 I know if my TV's actually calibrated correctly or if 0:43:16.960 --> 0:43:17.640 I'm just blind. 0:43:20.600 --> 0:43:24.600 Again. All TVs are kind of they're calibrated to an extent, 0:43:24.680 --> 0:43:26.759 like they are tuned to look a certain way out 0:43:26.800 --> 0:43:29.719 of the factory, and you can go further, which if 0:43:29.719 --> 0:43:32.520 you're getting like a super expensive high end like projector 0:43:32.719 --> 0:43:34.640 system or one hundred inch TV, and I want to 0:43:34.640 --> 0:43:38.160 get a professionally calibrated but otherwise, according to my test, 0:43:38.360 --> 0:43:43.000 the cinema or movie or isf imax, they usually like 0:43:43.000 --> 0:43:45.879 a fancy movie related to name, those picture modes get 0:43:46.960 --> 0:43:50.120 admirably close to accurate, and you could tweak it further, 0:43:50.200 --> 0:43:51.960 but at that point you don't really want to. It's 0:43:52.000 --> 0:43:53.719 just set us to that mode. It's going to look 0:43:53.719 --> 0:43:55.440 about as good as you can. I actually have a 0:43:55.480 --> 0:43:57.960 list of all these different tips you can do that 0:43:58.040 --> 0:43:59.960 will improve the look of your TV on PC meg. 0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:02.319 If you search for TV tips, you'll see my name. 0:44:02.400 --> 0:44:04.239 Yeah, Will greenwaald Oft PC mag. There you go. You 0:44:04.280 --> 0:44:07.040 can check that out online. Love you guys. All right, 0:44:07.080 --> 0:44:10.200 So we've talked about brightness and color acture. What about HDMI? Basically, 0:44:10.200 --> 0:44:11.919 you know it's great, you plug it in, you get sound, 0:44:11.960 --> 0:44:13.719 you get video. Is there anything I can do in 0:44:14.000 --> 0:44:16.600 that chain to improve my picture? Or sound. 0:44:18.360 --> 0:44:21.880 You can make sure you have a good HDMI certified cable. 0:44:22.320 --> 0:44:27.200 There are a couple of different tiers and it sort 0:44:27.239 --> 0:44:29.200 of starts at high speed and it gets like premium 0:44:29.239 --> 0:44:31.279 high speed, and what you want to do is just 0:44:31.320 --> 0:44:34.840 make sure it says generally, I think premium high speed 0:44:34.880 --> 0:44:37.840 is what's going to be the best four k HDR content. 0:44:38.080 --> 0:44:40.520 Maybe have like a cheaper older HDMI cable. You might 0:44:40.520 --> 0:44:44.080 not be getting enough. You might not be sending as 0:44:44.160 --> 0:44:45.920 much data through as it needs to. You want at 0:44:45.960 --> 0:44:49.839 least eighteen GDPs, which we'll say on the package if 0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:52.359 it is a legitimate cable, or if if you're buying 0:44:52.360 --> 0:44:54.600 it from a legitimate source. And you can actually get 0:44:54.600 --> 0:44:57.000 them pretty cheap, I recommend don't buy them in big 0:44:57.000 --> 0:44:59.680 box stores. Order them online from a pan full of 0:44:59.719 --> 0:45:03.439 different places. It doesn't need to be Amazon, but there 0:45:03.440 --> 0:45:06.400 are you can get cheaper good HDMI cables online. 0:45:06.640 --> 0:45:06.839 Yeah. 0:45:06.920 --> 0:45:08.480 I think it's interesting too, because you know, you see 0:45:08.480 --> 0:45:11.839 these cables that are three thousand dollars because they're you know, gold, 0:45:11.960 --> 0:45:14.120 virgin gold and twenty four care gold, and I'm like, 0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:16.359 do I really need that? Do I really need that? 0:45:16.560 --> 0:45:16.719 Well? 0:45:16.760 --> 0:45:17.239 Do I need it? 0:45:18.200 --> 0:45:22.160 Absolutely not? Especially for HDDMI, because it's digital. It's only 0:45:22.200 --> 0:45:25.120 a question of is the data going through? Audio files 0:45:25.120 --> 0:45:27.759 can make that. They can argue till the end of 0:45:27.800 --> 0:45:31.759 the day about headphone wires and speaker wires because those 0:45:31.760 --> 0:45:35.000 are analog connections. But HDMI and pretty much anything going 0:45:35.000 --> 0:45:38.480 into your TV it's digital, So gold or anything that's 0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:42.399 going to undrty the signal or whatever. You know, your 0:45:42.560 --> 0:45:44.920 typical blue shirt in the store is going to tell 0:45:44.920 --> 0:45:47.600 you it's going to do. Doesn't matter to HDMI. What 0:45:47.680 --> 0:45:49.879 matters is how much data is going through, and that's 0:45:49.880 --> 0:45:50.640 going to be on the page. 0:45:50.719 --> 0:45:50.879 Yeah. 0:45:50.920 --> 0:45:52.320 Yeah, it's the size of the pipe that what the 0:45:52.320 --> 0:45:55.719 initial pipe is made out of? Good information there. You're 0:45:55.760 --> 0:46:00.480 an ISF certified TV calibrator and TXH certified Home theater technician. 0:46:00.480 --> 0:46:02.080 You go into somebody's house, you look at their TV. 0:46:02.640 --> 0:46:05.080 What is the most common problem you see that's completely 0:46:05.120 --> 0:46:08.560 ruining their picture quality? And question two is the audio quality? 0:46:10.480 --> 0:46:14.000 Picture quality? If it is set to standard or vivid, 0:46:14.160 --> 0:46:17.840 that's just throwing everything off, got it. Sometimes the adaptive 0:46:17.920 --> 0:46:19.759 rightness the white sensor might still be set all though 0:46:19.800 --> 0:46:21.400 there might be some ECO settings that you want to 0:46:21.400 --> 0:46:24.000 disable because that's going to dim the picture. Those are 0:46:24.000 --> 0:46:28.640 the main things. Sometimes there also is the display oriented 0:46:28.719 --> 0:46:32.120 the display perspective what's usually called zoom on a TV. 0:46:32.719 --> 0:46:34.160 It might be off, so you're going to see some 0:46:34.200 --> 0:46:37.120 of the pictures squished or clipped, and you want to 0:46:37.120 --> 0:46:41.760 set that to just again or direct, just basically pixel 0:46:41.800 --> 0:46:43.960 the pics on instead of trying to get it within 0:46:43.960 --> 0:46:45.640 a weird shape, because that's what's going to make the 0:46:45.680 --> 0:46:47.840 picture look weird in terms of perspective. 0:46:48.160 --> 0:46:48.560 Gotcha. 0:46:48.640 --> 0:46:52.600 Audio wise, you're only going to get so much down out. 0:46:52.480 --> 0:46:52.919 Of your TV. 0:46:53.080 --> 0:46:57.279 Typically, TV speakers usually aren't great higher end TVs they 0:46:57.280 --> 0:47:00.600 do have, they can't have excellent speakers. Many of the 0:47:00.680 --> 0:47:03.799 highest senses higher end TV is like the UAQG and 0:47:04.480 --> 0:47:07.360 those higher end ones, the whole spatial audio speaker systems 0:47:07.360 --> 0:47:10.160 built all through them, so like they build a wall 0:47:10.200 --> 0:47:11.919 of sound around you. But most of them, you're probably 0:47:11.960 --> 0:47:13.880 want to get a sound bar if you can, because 0:47:14.440 --> 0:47:16.200 the soundbar and a subwarfare is going to really beef 0:47:16.280 --> 0:47:16.840 up to that audio. 0:47:17.560 --> 0:47:20.040 Yeah, I know, like Samsung gets really really high ratings 0:47:20.040 --> 0:47:22.840 for that in TVs as well. If you're looking for 0:47:22.920 --> 0:47:25.480 one particular brand now, now normally you go to your 0:47:25.560 --> 0:47:27.440 you know, the place where the blue shirts are or 0:47:27.480 --> 0:47:29.920 your big box retail or Costco is a great one. 0:47:30.560 --> 0:47:32.279 And I'm like, okay, I think I need a new TV. 0:47:32.360 --> 0:47:33.920 But before you do that and go, hey, maybe it's 0:47:33.960 --> 0:47:36.399 the settings and I try that, So what are could 0:47:36.400 --> 0:47:37.960 you tell me like a lot of the warning signs 0:47:37.960 --> 0:47:40.279 that your TV may actually be failing versus just needed 0:47:40.280 --> 0:47:41.400 better settings. 0:47:42.680 --> 0:47:47.600 If it's seeming significantly there. TVs only have like a 0:47:47.600 --> 0:47:50.200 certain amount of life. They can last a very long time, 0:47:50.200 --> 0:47:52.200 but sometimes they can just start to die, and that 0:47:52.239 --> 0:47:54.640 can usually happen in the back light, so that just 0:47:54.719 --> 0:47:57.799 the life will start to fade, which is kind of 0:47:57.800 --> 0:48:00.880 what happened on my last TV. Actually, a weird one 0:48:00.880 --> 0:48:03.520 happened with my other kV that the color started to 0:48:03.520 --> 0:48:06.640 get weird, that only blue started to get dim which 0:48:07.040 --> 0:48:09.279 led to some very weird things that like I talked 0:48:09.320 --> 0:48:11.480 to other experts in the field and there as confused 0:48:11.480 --> 0:48:13.960 as I am about how that happened. But basically, if 0:48:13.960 --> 0:48:15.960 the picture starts to look weird and you can't go 0:48:16.000 --> 0:48:18.799 into the settings and you know, make it look right, 0:48:18.960 --> 0:48:20.799 that might be assigned that the panel. 0:48:20.560 --> 0:48:21.640 Is starting to age. 0:48:21.960 --> 0:48:25.439 But hopefully it won't happen for at least like three, 0:48:25.520 --> 0:48:27.799 four or five years. Ideally a TV should last at 0:48:27.840 --> 0:48:30.120 least a decade. But I mean, who can help at 0:48:30.160 --> 0:48:30.560 this point? 0:48:30.840 --> 0:48:32.880 Yeah, because the technico chiefs come. Now you feel like 0:48:32.960 --> 0:48:35.960 you need you know, three d's coming. I remember the glasses. 0:48:35.960 --> 0:48:37.239 I had one of those. I don't think I ever 0:48:37.360 --> 0:48:39.879 used it, but it came with the tyros, all right, 0:48:39.920 --> 0:48:42.279 And there's always some new trend out there that's going 0:48:42.320 --> 0:48:43.960 to want to get that. Then that's how market It's 0:48:44.040 --> 0:48:45.360 largely marketing though, right. 0:48:47.560 --> 0:48:50.160 Kind of there is a lot of I want see desperation, 0:48:50.239 --> 0:48:52.640 but they want to find an angle to basically say, 0:48:53.239 --> 0:48:56.200 you know, eight four K settled. HDR is pretty much settled, 0:48:56.200 --> 0:48:58.160 So how do we get people to buy these new TVs? 0:48:58.160 --> 0:49:00.360 And they try to find a new angle. Stuff is 0:49:00.440 --> 0:49:04.560 very promising. There are these micro RGB or RGB l 0:49:04.719 --> 0:49:06.800 ed TVs that are coming out that are really impressive 0:49:06.840 --> 0:49:10.000 so far. They're very expensive, very big, but there's a 0:49:10.040 --> 0:49:13.120 lot of promising technology there. But for things like three D, 0:49:13.920 --> 0:49:17.560 no and HK. Any if you're worried at all about 0:49:17.560 --> 0:49:20.560 TV is getting sharper and EIGHTK happening, I actually just 0:49:20.600 --> 0:49:23.279 put up a story last week explaining why that is 0:49:23.320 --> 0:49:26.799 not happening. LG just stopped making aktvs. That leaves only 0:49:26.840 --> 0:49:30.359 Samsung and basically that is not a factor at all 0:49:30.840 --> 0:49:33.279 in the foreseeable future. So don't worry about needing to 0:49:33.400 --> 0:49:35.960 upgrade from four K to AK. That isn't happening as 0:49:35.960 --> 0:49:36.680 far as I can see. 0:49:36.760 --> 0:49:39.799 Yeah, the thaing is you need programming that's actually worked. 0:49:39.880 --> 0:49:43.600 Yep, you know, not no programming. There's no format right right, 0:49:43.719 --> 0:49:45.640 so like treating service or disc it. 0:49:46.200 --> 0:49:47.520 Yeah, and by the time they roll it out, I 0:49:47.600 --> 0:49:49.600 probably change with the standard as anyway, So maybe that 0:49:49.680 --> 0:49:52.160 TV is rendered obsolete before you even bought it. 0:49:52.440 --> 0:49:52.600 Good. 0:49:52.640 --> 0:49:54.080 But so if you're going to hold out and say, 0:49:54.120 --> 0:49:55.600 well I just got to known in the last couple 0:49:55.600 --> 0:49:57.680 of years, I can wait to go five six, what's 0:49:57.719 --> 0:50:00.439 the next thing on horizon, You're like, okay, let's let's 0:50:00.440 --> 0:50:03.080 wait for that. Is it what you're talking about with 0:50:03.120 --> 0:50:05.319 the RGB LEDs. 0:50:06.000 --> 0:50:06.120 Uh? 0:50:06.200 --> 0:50:09.719 Yeah, the RGB LEDs because you I said, there's an 0:50:09.840 --> 0:50:14.560 LGB panel and likes behind it. RGB TVs have red, green, 0:50:14.600 --> 0:50:16.880 and blue lights instead of just white or just blue 0:50:16.920 --> 0:50:20.160 that they're going into the weeds. But they can change 0:50:20.440 --> 0:50:22.760 just red or just green or just blue, getting brighter 0:50:22.760 --> 0:50:25.880 and dimmer to make the color go wider, not just 0:50:25.920 --> 0:50:28.919 to improve the contract. Gotcha, and the what I've seen 0:50:28.920 --> 0:50:31.480 so far in my initial test, I've only completely tested 0:50:31.520 --> 0:50:33.600 one TV, but I've taken a close look at several 0:50:34.480 --> 0:50:36.520 that is a lot of There's a lot of potential 0:50:36.560 --> 0:50:39.480 for much brighter, much much wider color ranges than what 0:50:39.600 --> 0:50:41.160 we can currently get with TVs. 0:50:41.680 --> 0:50:44.319 If you had unlimited money, will and maybe you have 0:50:44.400 --> 0:50:46.319 unlimited money, I don't know, you've you seem very very 0:50:46.320 --> 0:50:49.840 good at what you do. I do not if you 0:50:49.880 --> 0:50:52.719 have a limited in my semi stupid money, well, the 0:50:53.120 --> 0:50:56.359 best possible system, the best possible TV you can buy 0:50:56.480 --> 0:50:59.040 right now is what and how much does it cost? 0:51:01.600 --> 0:51:03.799 At this point, I would have to say either high 0:51:03.840 --> 0:51:07.720 Censer's latest RGB TV I think it is the current 0:51:07.840 --> 0:51:12.280 one sixteen UX or Samsung's Micro RGB TV. They're basically 0:51:12.560 --> 0:51:15.280 they're kind of very similar TVs. They make very similar 0:51:15.280 --> 0:51:18.360 claims that they can cover this extremely wide color space, 0:51:18.440 --> 0:51:20.520 and in my testing I believe it at this point, 0:51:20.560 --> 0:51:23.239 but they'll have to confrom it. But they're also like 0:51:23.800 --> 0:51:26.560 twenty to thirty grand and one hundred and sixteen to 0:51:26.680 --> 0:51:29.000 one hundred and fifteen hundred and sixteen inches, so we 0:51:29.040 --> 0:51:30.360 will get in my apartments. 0:51:30.480 --> 0:51:34.160 Damn yeah, one egs or a TV. You better like 0:51:34.200 --> 0:51:35.960 TV to be watching that, so you better be like 0:51:35.960 --> 0:51:38.759 a movie reviewer. So mister Rotten Tomatoes would have a 0:51:38.760 --> 0:51:42.360 TV that big or mister Bach Yeah, yeah, no kidding. 0:51:42.400 --> 0:51:44.640 So that's good sound system? 0:51:45.000 --> 0:51:47.680 Yeah you have to. You also have the turntable that 0:51:47.719 --> 0:51:50.360 needs its own room. The turntable it's its own house, 0:51:50.400 --> 0:51:53.200 that sound isolated. That's you're getting crazy about that stuff. 0:51:53.719 --> 0:51:56.200 Any more. Affordable category with TVs? Would you go with? 0:51:56.680 --> 0:51:58.719 Samsung comes up a lot, By the way, I think, 0:51:58.960 --> 0:51:59.800 are you big? Samsung? 0:52:01.360 --> 0:52:04.200 Samsin is very good engineering. I don't really like their 0:52:04.280 --> 0:52:07.120 smart TV menu interface. It's sort of my least favorite, 0:52:07.200 --> 0:52:09.000 but in terms of the hard way they make it 0:52:09.080 --> 0:52:13.279 is pretty fantastic. They're also usually pretty expensive. Companies like 0:52:13.320 --> 0:52:15.920 High Central TCL usually are sort of better bang for 0:52:15.960 --> 0:52:16.359 your buck. 0:52:16.760 --> 0:52:17.719 In terms of budget TV. 0:52:17.760 --> 0:52:20.920 It's specifically my favorite so far, at least for the 0:52:20.960 --> 0:52:24.439 year at the moment, is the U six QS High 0:52:24.440 --> 0:52:27.520 Senses budget TV. You can get around sixty five inches 0:52:27.560 --> 0:52:30.360 for maybe six hundred dollars and it gets. 0:52:30.239 --> 0:52:31.200 Quite right for that price. 0:52:31.239 --> 0:52:33.400 It's colors are excellent, and it's pretty full featured. 0:52:33.719 --> 0:52:36.360 It's unreal. I was looking at I don't know, I 0:52:36.360 --> 0:52:38.919 saw some old maybe it's a newspaper or something around 0:52:38.920 --> 0:52:40.480 there's an ad for TV and I was like, I 0:52:40.480 --> 0:52:44.080 don't know, nineteen seventy, late seventies, and wow, say here's 0:52:44.120 --> 0:52:47.000 a Stare twenty one inch color TV for like six 0:52:47.120 --> 0:52:49.440 hundred dollars. And I'm looking at us, going that was 0:52:49.480 --> 0:52:53.000 ninet seventy nine. I can get a one hundred inch 0:52:53.080 --> 0:52:55.560 TV for probably less than double that price. 0:52:58.480 --> 0:53:00.520 Yeah, probably, I mean maybe a little bit more, but 0:53:00.560 --> 0:53:01.520 like less than too grant. 0:53:01.600 --> 0:53:03.360 Yeah, I mean it's insane. How how the cost of 0:53:03.360 --> 0:53:06.319 electronics it's and that's why they're disposable now for that reason. 0:53:06.400 --> 0:53:08.360 You know, that was high tech twenty one inches and 0:53:08.680 --> 0:53:10.640 five six hundred dollars for TV, and now you can 0:53:10.640 --> 0:53:13.000 get a one hundred inch TV for fifteen hundred dollars 0:53:13.080 --> 0:53:16.120 whatever it is. It's amazing. And there's all these new 0:53:16.120 --> 0:53:19.000 brands out there, TCL and high Sense that people look at, go, well, 0:53:19.040 --> 0:53:22.400 that's not Sony or Samsung. I'm people get uncomfortable with that. 0:53:22.440 --> 0:53:24.040 Should you really care that much about the brand name? 0:53:26.719 --> 0:53:29.799 You can if you've never heard of it, maybe because 0:53:29.840 --> 0:53:31.640 obviously there are a lot of sort of store brands 0:53:31.680 --> 0:53:33.640 and like you know, little men, you might have never 0:53:33.680 --> 0:53:35.120 heard of it, and they might just be cases of 0:53:35.200 --> 0:53:37.239 drunk if they seem a lot cheaper than even High 0:53:37.239 --> 0:53:41.160 Centered TCL. Yes, but both High Center TV TCL have 0:53:41.560 --> 0:53:45.680 solidly established themselves as you know, pretty high quality, high 0:53:45.760 --> 0:53:47.879 value brands if you're looking to now spend a ton 0:53:47.920 --> 0:53:50.200 of money on a TV, if they have good performers, 0:53:50.239 --> 0:53:52.239 which is, you know, more than I can say for 0:53:52.280 --> 0:53:54.480 a lot of cheaper, no name brands that you know, 0:53:54.480 --> 0:53:56.680 if you get a you know, there's little ones that 0:53:56.719 --> 0:53:59.680 you might see on sale in the back of a store. 0:54:00.360 --> 0:54:01.960 Those ones might be joke, gotcha. 0:54:02.040 --> 0:54:04.400 He's Will Greenwall writing or a PC magazine. He's our 0:54:04.400 --> 0:54:06.120 home theater expert. Everything you need to know whether you 0:54:06.200 --> 0:54:07.920 need to buy that new TV or not, or just 0:54:08.160 --> 0:54:11.440 tinker with the settings inside. Some useful information there.

Thanks again, I appreciate. 0:54:18.560 --> 0:54:20.719 You, thanks for having me have a good day. 0:54:20.760 --> 0:54:22.560 I hope you got some useful information out of that. 0:54:22.680 --> 0:54:25.120 If I'm gonna keep your TV, maybe you can tweak 0:54:25.120 --> 0:54:28.200 some of those settings before Miami plays today March Madness, 0:54:28.200 --> 0:54:30.200 because that TV gonna get worn out this weekend for 0:54:30.239 --> 0:54:32.880 real Scott Slan Show with News in just minutes and 0:54:33.040 --> 0:54:36.440 Julie Balki stands by Julie on the job. Guess who's 0:54:36.480 --> 0:54:40.760 getting fired in big numbers? Jen Zers? Why she shares 0:54:40.840 --> 0:54:43.120 Julie on the job is next after news on seven 0:54:43.200 --> 0:54:43.840 hundred WI. 0:54:43.880 --> 0:54:50.200 Them helping you navigate the rocky path a fulfilling employee. 0:54:51.600 --> 0:54:54.520 Here's our career, sir, Julie Balki. 0:54:54.800 --> 0:54:58.120 Yeah, it is a rocky road. It's kiashi. So this 0:54:58.200 --> 0:55:01.560 is an interesting new trend. They got the diploma and 0:55:01.600 --> 0:55:03.840 then they get a job, and then they get the 0:55:04.360 --> 0:55:07.839 spink lip something like six and ten bosses now say 0:55:07.840 --> 0:55:12.000 they've already fired their gen z hires and someone hire 0:55:12.080 --> 0:55:15.120 new grads at all next year. Why is that, Julie Balki, 0:55:15.160 --> 0:55:18.400 our career shirp on the Scott Sloan Show. It's it's agism, 0:55:18.440 --> 0:55:20.680 is what it is, isn't it, Julie, Because old people 0:55:21.040 --> 0:55:24.200 don't like these young young bucks coming up. That's what 0:55:24.239 --> 0:55:27.359 it is all about. Agism. 0:55:27.680 --> 0:55:28.279 Yeah, that's it. 0:55:29.200 --> 0:55:31.480 So here's the thing, all right. 0:55:31.560 --> 0:55:35.560 So we talked last week about the unemployment rate of 0:55:35.640 --> 0:55:39.000 college grads being similar to the I mean gen Z 0:55:39.160 --> 0:55:42.680 college grads being very similar to the unemployment rate of 0:55:42.760 --> 0:55:46.319 gen Z without college degrees. And it's interesting when you 0:55:46.640 --> 0:55:50.600 really dig into that and say, Okay, what, why why? 0:55:50.719 --> 0:55:52.920 Like what are employers saying is the reason behind this? 0:55:53.000 --> 0:55:56.280 And there's some really interesting stats in this Fortune article, 0:55:57.560 --> 0:56:04.960 fifty leaders fight lack of motivation lack of initiative as 0:56:05.000 --> 0:56:07.800 the reason why things didn't work out with their new hire. 0:56:08.800 --> 0:56:13.600 Bosses also pointed to gen Z being unprofessional, unorganized, and 0:56:13.640 --> 0:56:19.760 having poor communication skills as their top reason late to work, late. 0:56:19.560 --> 0:56:22.600 To meetings, not wearing office appropriate. 0:56:22.080 --> 0:56:27.799 Clothing, and using language appropriate for the workspace. So you 0:56:27.840 --> 0:56:29.719 know this always when you read this, I mean, I 0:56:29.760 --> 0:56:32.719 can tell you why. I mean, I can tell you 0:56:33.440 --> 0:56:37.799 the collection of factors that have led to this, but 0:56:37.920 --> 0:56:40.000 then the question, and that's all you know. We can 0:56:40.320 --> 0:56:42.600 we can clutch our prolls and bring our hands over that. 0:56:42.719 --> 0:56:46.919 But what is it, Whose responsibility is it? Because this 0:56:47.000 --> 0:56:49.759 can't this can't continue. I mean, this can't. This is 0:56:49.760 --> 0:56:52.719 going to especially with AI coming on the scene to 0:56:52.800 --> 0:56:56.960 replace a lot of those more entry level jobs. This 0:56:57.040 --> 0:56:59.440 is this is a problem that's going to keep getting worse. 0:56:59.480 --> 0:57:01.360 So it's a more two prong problem. 0:57:01.080 --> 0:57:04.000 And so therefore it's likely a multi prom solution. 0:57:04.080 --> 0:57:05.920 All right, let's pump the brakes a little bit. What 0:57:05.960 --> 0:57:08.319 you just told me, Julie Balki. Is this a gen 0:57:08.480 --> 0:57:12.279 Z problem specifically or isn't this just what we go 0:57:12.360 --> 0:57:15.000 through with every new generation enter in the workforce. Is 0:57:15.040 --> 0:57:16.000 this that much different? 0:57:17.280 --> 0:57:20.640 It is that much different. You know, the gap even 0:57:20.720 --> 0:57:23.640 when you look at the gap between at if you 0:57:23.680 --> 0:57:25.440 take a look at and I know this is a 0:57:25.440 --> 0:57:31.480 broad generalization, but the generation's general attitude toward work. Take 0:57:31.520 --> 0:57:34.080 a look at Boomers, who are the oldest ones still 0:57:34.080 --> 0:57:37.720 in the job market and gen Z the youngest. That 0:57:37.880 --> 0:57:42.920 gap is it's it is a yawning canyon of a gap. 0:57:43.240 --> 0:57:46.400 Now when you look at then when you take the 0:57:46.480 --> 0:57:52.360 difference between boomers and millennials, which is the generation just 0:57:52.560 --> 0:57:53.800 older than gen Z. 0:57:54.040 --> 0:57:57.720 So even your thirty year olds twenty nine thirty. 0:57:57.640 --> 0:58:02.120 Year olds or millennials, that is much less of a gap. 0:58:02.160 --> 0:58:05.680 And even millennials are saying, because I've spoken to several, 0:58:05.720 --> 0:58:08.400 are saying, yeah, I don't I don't quite get this 0:58:08.560 --> 0:58:12.240 generation right behind me. So these aren't necessarily just old 0:58:12.280 --> 0:58:15.640 krusty boomers like you like me, and old krusty gen 0:58:15.760 --> 0:58:19.880 z like you saying that Gen X, it's really there 0:58:19.960 --> 0:58:23.840 is such a difference, and it's not just your typical 0:58:24.200 --> 0:58:26.600 young people are going to ruin the world. My generation 0:58:26.760 --> 0:58:29.200 was the last one that knew how to work. It's 0:58:29.280 --> 0:58:32.640 beyond that, Okay. 0:58:32.680 --> 0:58:35.560 I mean, I see what's going on, and you know, 0:58:36.240 --> 0:58:39.160 I also understand the lens that gen Z looks through 0:58:39.200 --> 0:58:41.840 things at and they live through some tough well maybe 0:58:41.840 --> 0:58:45.040 not so tough economic times, I suppose, but I think 0:58:45.080 --> 0:58:47.320 maybe they saw their parents work, saw that maybe their 0:58:47.320 --> 0:58:51.520 grandparents work hard. Now for examples, as a Gen xer, 0:58:52.200 --> 0:58:56.040 I look at boomers and I can't figure out, like, Okay, 0:58:56.080 --> 0:58:57.880 you guys want to work till you're eighty years old. 0:58:58.560 --> 0:59:02.760 There's a I think when a Trump's cabinet people, he's 0:59:03.360 --> 0:59:05.880 developed cancer and he's going to continue working until the 0:59:05.920 --> 0:59:08.080 day he falls over dead. Like I think younger people 0:59:08.080 --> 0:59:11.360 look at it go, well, okay, so your whole existence 0:59:11.400 --> 0:59:13.320 is just your job and your career. And that's always 0:59:13.320 --> 0:59:15.160 been a knock on moomers, right. They just won't let go, 0:59:15.200 --> 0:59:17.480 they won't turn the reins over. They and and this 0:59:17.520 --> 0:59:20.280 is why we see that problem in the workforce when 0:59:20.320 --> 0:59:23.120 they say things they think is appropriate that are inappropriate. 0:59:23.160 --> 0:59:25.720 It's because the bulk of the workforce is younger, and 0:59:25.720 --> 0:59:27.720 they have a different set of values and standards and 0:59:27.760 --> 0:59:32.080 morals and those those kind of things don't translate very 0:59:32.080 --> 0:59:34.160 well while you look out of touch. So I think 0:59:34.200 --> 0:59:36.960 it's a confluence of a living longer and younger generations 0:59:37.000 --> 0:59:39.760 coming in. I'm not discounting that their work ethic is 0:59:39.760 --> 0:59:42.360 not good. What I'm saying is in the context is 0:59:42.680 --> 0:59:45.000 look how they grew up, and what they see is like, Okay, 0:59:45.040 --> 0:59:47.000 you're just living to work that. I don't want to 0:59:47.040 --> 0:59:49.600 do that. That's why they travel. You know, they'll they'll 0:59:49.600 --> 0:59:51.480 do month long trips so they don't have any money, 0:59:51.520 --> 0:59:53.040 or they'll take their money. Go Okay, I'm taking a 0:59:53.080 --> 0:59:55.320 month off to go around Europe when I'm still young. 0:59:55.720 --> 0:59:57.320 It's just a different value proposition. 0:59:58.560 --> 0:59:58.920 It is. 0:59:59.000 --> 1:00:02.080 It absolutely is and the I was just having this 1:00:02.120 --> 1:00:06.320 conversation with someone yesterday who's spouse just retired, and he 1:00:07.120 --> 1:00:10.960 is really he's sixty five, and he's really flailing because 1:00:10.960 --> 1:00:15.800 he's looking to how do I reboot my identity. It's 1:00:15.840 --> 1:00:19.400 hard to go from being a hard charging, career focused, 1:00:19.880 --> 1:00:23.640 even moderately successful person to losing that. I mean, look 1:00:23.680 --> 1:00:26.360 at look at our congress people. Just as you said, 1:00:27.760 --> 1:00:29.480 it's funny, isn't it. I was just reading this thing 1:00:29.480 --> 1:00:34.280 that said, you know, we've got I see constantly people 1:00:34.480 --> 1:00:39.080 fifties and sixties complaining about agism and trying to get hired. 1:00:39.160 --> 1:00:42.400 And I absolutely know that it is true. Yet the 1:00:42.440 --> 1:00:47.560 people running these congress people seventies, eighties, nineties that are 1:00:47.600 --> 1:00:51.920 still running for reelection. And so it's this, it's it's 1:00:52.160 --> 1:00:56.360 it comes down to how however strong. The stronger you, 1:00:56.680 --> 1:01:01.680 the more strongly you identify with your career as you're 1:01:01.760 --> 1:01:06.760 shining beacon of your life, the harder it is for 1:01:06.840 --> 1:01:11.200 you to walk away and re establish an identity as 1:01:11.200 --> 1:01:15.240 something else, especially if there were perks that came with 1:01:16.240 --> 1:01:18.320 that identity, walking into. 1:01:18.080 --> 1:01:19.640 A restaurant in Washington, DC. 1:01:20.000 --> 1:01:24.240 Having people cater to you, having you know, I mean 1:01:24.240 --> 1:01:27.720 getting your phone calls returned immediately. It is a long 1:01:28.200 --> 1:01:32.560 fall from the top. And so some boomers are because 1:01:32.800 --> 1:01:36.400 the way we were raised was mostly focusing on career identity, 1:01:36.760 --> 1:01:38.560 it is harder for us to give it up. But 1:01:38.600 --> 1:01:42.040 there's also a piece of the boomer population that can't 1:01:42.120 --> 1:01:45.120 quit because of the financials. And so I understand, right, 1:01:45.200 --> 1:01:46.440 I don't want to downplay that. 1:01:46.720 --> 1:01:49.600 Yeah, yeah, I mentioned the value proposition and you you're 1:01:49.640 --> 1:01:51.560 not wrong. I'm not saying that. Well, you should just 1:01:51.640 --> 1:01:54.160 accept that's how gen z ers are. They have to do. 1:01:54.240 --> 1:01:56.720 The adaption here is because you are getting a paycheck 1:01:56.840 --> 1:01:59.480 for work, and what's considered work is showing up on 1:01:59.560 --> 1:02:04.720 time all the time, dressing appropriately, using suitable business place language, 1:02:05.240 --> 1:02:09.320 being organized, being proactive. All those things and more factor in. 1:02:09.720 --> 1:02:12.480 That's what's expecting the job. How did we then, as parents, 1:02:12.480 --> 1:02:14.560 because this is not the all of these damn kids now, 1:02:14.560 --> 1:02:17.200 it's damn parents who set that expectation by our so low. 1:02:17.520 --> 1:02:19.000 How do we f this up so much? 1:02:20.840 --> 1:02:24.880 Yeah, you can't. Everybody complaining it's like, well, well, who raised them? 1:02:25.680 --> 1:02:26.200 It was. 1:02:26.520 --> 1:02:29.360 It was a combination of things. It was certainly the 1:02:29.640 --> 1:02:34.480 participation trophy style of parenting. It was the massive helicopter 1:02:35.200 --> 1:02:39.640 parenting that our kids never It was the you have 1:02:39.720 --> 1:02:42.440 to get into the best school possible. So because that 1:02:42.600 --> 1:02:45.720 seeds my ego, so I'm not going to require you 1:02:45.960 --> 1:02:49.280 to work. You just keep taking ap classes. And so 1:02:49.400 --> 1:02:53.920 we shielded them from responsibility in the real world. If 1:02:53.960 --> 1:02:57.840 you work at Chipotle and you keep showing up late 1:02:57.960 --> 1:03:00.720 or dressing inappropriately, you aren't going to keep that job. 1:03:01.400 --> 1:03:04.320 And even if those things happened a lot of times 1:03:04.320 --> 1:03:08.600 with this generation, Mom marked straight into Chipotle and let 1:03:08.680 --> 1:03:10.640 them have a piece of their mind for letting her 1:03:10.680 --> 1:03:15.600 precious angel go. And it's I see remnants of this 1:03:15.760 --> 1:03:20.200 still today and it's so we are we It makes 1:03:20.320 --> 1:03:23.680 us feel good in the moment to move those barriers 1:03:23.760 --> 1:03:26.360 out of the way, but you are hurting your child 1:03:26.480 --> 1:03:29.760 long term because the world isn't going to think. 1:03:29.600 --> 1:03:33.160 They're so precious and special like you did. 1:03:33.320 --> 1:03:34.640 And so yeah, you know, I. 1:03:35.280 --> 1:03:40.240 Saw this video was this young woman showing different work loooks, 1:03:40.320 --> 1:03:43.200 like work appropriate looks for women in the corporate world, 1:03:43.680 --> 1:03:47.240 and I was watching it and I was horrified. I'm like, no, no, 1:03:47.440 --> 1:03:50.960 that's not appropriate. But I also recognized them, like, wait 1:03:50.960 --> 1:03:53.200 a minute, is this just my boomerness. 1:03:53.400 --> 1:03:55.840 YEA saying that's not appropriates. 1:03:55.840 --> 1:03:58.000 I had to kind of walk back and say, is it, 1:03:58.440 --> 1:04:00.640 And for the most part it wasn't. It was more 1:04:00.680 --> 1:04:04.480 about knowing the difference between showing up for a night 1:04:04.520 --> 1:04:08.880 with friends and showing up in a workplace where you 1:04:09.040 --> 1:04:14.520 are being assessed by first impressions are so important. I 1:04:14.520 --> 1:04:16.520 always try to do that check. But sometimes it's like, no, 1:04:17.120 --> 1:04:21.880 showing up on time is not for a meeting, is 1:04:22.080 --> 1:04:27.080 simply respect for other people's calendars, other people's times, and 1:04:27.120 --> 1:04:30.000 that is not going away. That is, we're never moving 1:04:30.000 --> 1:04:32.919 to a place where people show up anytime they want 1:04:32.920 --> 1:04:36.480 for a meeting between nine and ten. That's not happening. 1:04:36.560 --> 1:04:40.240 So there's certain things that remain true over time, and 1:04:40.320 --> 1:04:44.080 that's what we're not being taught or embraced or. 1:04:45.800 --> 1:04:46.400 And so yeah. 1:04:46.480 --> 1:04:49.920 So on the other hand, we've got just looking at 1:04:49.960 --> 1:04:52.640 a stat that said the number of people who are 1:04:52.960 --> 1:04:55.480 the number of people who are starting their own thing, 1:04:56.160 --> 1:04:58.520 who've opted out of the corporate America and or starting 1:04:58.520 --> 1:05:01.800 their own thing is going back to to two thousand 1:05:01.800 --> 1:05:04.120 and one, right after nine to eleven, two thousand and eight, 1:05:04.160 --> 1:05:08.560 twenty twenty. Numbers that were I can't get a job. 1:05:08.960 --> 1:05:11.480 So it's partially back then in those three times, it 1:05:11.560 --> 1:05:14.880 was I can't get a traditional job. Now those numbers 1:05:14.920 --> 1:05:18.560 are up again, but the reasons behind it are different. 1:05:19.000 --> 1:05:21.520 Oh yeah, I tried the corporate thing. It doesn't work 1:05:21.560 --> 1:05:24.200 for me, and I get it. Believe me, any of 1:05:24.280 --> 1:05:27.800 us have been in corporate. We get it. But now 1:05:27.960 --> 1:05:30.880 they have more options than they did before, true. 1:05:30.720 --> 1:05:33.040 To go out on their own. She's our career short. 1:05:33.080 --> 1:05:37.040 But Julie Bouki, who's an angry, angry old boomer woman 1:05:37.080 --> 1:05:40.560 who's just screaming at clouds this morning, it's it's awful. 1:05:42.160 --> 1:05:45.080 What's the single biggest gap you see when college? Well, 1:05:45.200 --> 1:05:46.800 let me back up a second. When when the boss 1:05:46.920 --> 1:05:49.400 is say, lack of initiative, what does that look like 1:05:49.440 --> 1:05:52.120 in the workplace? Does that mean it. 1:05:52.200 --> 1:05:56.680 Means sitting around and waiting to be told to do so? 1:05:56.920 --> 1:06:01.840 I have heard anecdotes after anecdote that said, as well, 1:06:02.120 --> 1:06:05.600 I left three because I was a dumman with everything 1:06:05.640 --> 1:06:09.600 that was on my desk. I finished the work you 1:06:09.800 --> 1:06:14.160 gave me, so why wouldn't I leave? And just that 1:06:14.160 --> 1:06:16.360 that just makes your head explode when you think about 1:06:16.400 --> 1:06:20.080 it versus saying how can I how can I show up? 1:06:20.120 --> 1:06:21.760 How can I do things that are going to make 1:06:21.760 --> 1:06:25.920 me stand out? And I loved this particular quote that 1:06:26.240 --> 1:06:32.680 I think is just so powerful about the importance of 1:06:32.720 --> 1:06:36.200 I'm trying to find it here. Some leaders have even 1:06:36.240 --> 1:06:39.840 insisted that it can do. Attitude at work will advance 1:06:39.960 --> 1:06:43.960 young workers' careers more than a college degree, and I 1:06:44.000 --> 1:06:45.520 absolutely agree with that. 1:06:46.400 --> 1:06:49.120 I think we've put so much. 1:06:48.920 --> 1:06:52.880 Emphasis on the paper, but we've all worked with people 1:06:52.920 --> 1:06:56.080 with really impressive paper who couldn't manage their way or 1:06:56.120 --> 1:06:58.600 work their way out of a paper bag. And so 1:06:58.720 --> 1:07:01.840 initiative attitude shall and up on time, willingness to learn, 1:07:02.400 --> 1:07:06.720 and some of those really basic things really are the things. 1:07:06.400 --> 1:07:08.040 That make you stand out, and. 1:07:07.960 --> 1:07:11.680 That that's never going away, and so how do we 1:07:11.720 --> 1:07:12.200 fix it? 1:07:12.480 --> 1:07:13.880 Whose responsibility is that? 1:07:13.920 --> 1:07:17.280 There's a lot of questions here, but eventually that a 1:07:17.360 --> 1:07:20.680 you know, a bottom line. If you are an adult 1:07:21.520 --> 1:07:24.400 in the workplace, you have to figure this out. 1:07:24.600 --> 1:07:25.120 You have to. 1:07:25.560 --> 1:07:29.120 Yes, you were your circumstances maybe weren't ideal with maybe 1:07:29.160 --> 1:07:31.680 the way you were raised or the way COVID has been, 1:07:31.760 --> 1:07:33.880 but take a look around, you read the room. What 1:07:33.920 --> 1:07:37.360 are successful people doing and then do more of that. 1:07:38.280 --> 1:07:40.320 It's it's that's the stuff that I don't care what 1:07:40.400 --> 1:07:41.240 kind of a degree you have. 1:07:41.400 --> 1:07:42.280 It's not that hard. 1:07:42.720 --> 1:07:44.600 Yeah, I don't know if that is that a coachable 1:07:44.640 --> 1:07:46.880 skill or personality. I don't know how you How do 1:07:46.920 --> 1:07:49.800 you teach initiative? You can't. Colleges aren't teaching initiative. They're 1:07:49.800 --> 1:07:51.880 not they're not teaching attitude. 1:07:53.480 --> 1:07:57.400 No, but you can by the way that you if 1:07:57.440 --> 1:08:00.920 you show up and your your you say, Okay, I'm 1:08:00.960 --> 1:08:04.520 going to absorb whatever I can in this workplace. I'm 1:08:04.520 --> 1:08:08.280 going to absorb the way the most successful people operate. 1:08:08.400 --> 1:08:11.240 I'm going to absorb the way that people run meetings. 1:08:11.240 --> 1:08:14.080 It seems to be productive. I'm going to absorb the 1:08:14.160 --> 1:08:14.720 people that. 1:08:14.640 --> 1:08:17.200 Have the most respect. How do they operate? And so 1:08:17.400 --> 1:08:20.960 you if you are a great student at your university 1:08:21.040 --> 1:08:23.200 or your high school, now it's up to you to 1:08:23.240 --> 1:08:25.200 be a student of the workplace. 1:08:25.680 --> 1:08:27.240 What does success look like? 1:08:27.880 --> 1:08:32.720 And walk in knowing that you may be smarter on 1:08:32.760 --> 1:08:36.200 some things than the vast majority of your coworkers, but 1:08:36.360 --> 1:08:38.960 you're not smarter on the stuff that's going to get 1:08:38.960 --> 1:08:39.400 you ahead. 1:08:39.439 --> 1:08:40.040 You're just not. 1:08:40.800 --> 1:08:44.760 Yeah, Yeah, there's the element. I think communication is huge, right, 1:08:44.800 --> 1:08:48.120 the interpersonal communication that's lost on this generation because there 1:08:48.120 --> 1:08:51.839 are digital natives and on the second digital native generation. 1:08:52.840 --> 1:08:55.439 So in twenty twenty six, when so much work happens 1:08:55.439 --> 1:08:59.599 over text and slack and email, it's all digital, right, 1:09:00.080 --> 1:09:03.439 what interpersonal in that is sitting on and talking and 1:09:03.479 --> 1:09:06.439 looking at the person on having a conversation difficult for 1:09:06.560 --> 1:09:08.559 gen zers to do because they're not use to it. 1:09:08.600 --> 1:09:11.800 That's not how they communicate. That's another skill set that 1:09:11.880 --> 1:09:13.360 has to be learned. That's really hard. 1:09:15.120 --> 1:09:15.680 Yeah, And. 1:09:17.360 --> 1:09:18.160 Here's a way. 1:09:18.479 --> 1:09:21.040 And I think people we get really caught up in 1:09:21.280 --> 1:09:22.960 oh my gosh, I have to know the right thing 1:09:23.000 --> 1:09:25.439 to say. I have to be all these things. Do 1:09:25.439 --> 1:09:28.200 you know what? You have to be curious and interested 1:09:29.040 --> 1:09:34.240 when you meet someone, become curious about their experience. How 1:09:34.280 --> 1:09:35.840 long have you worked here? What kind of roles have 1:09:35.920 --> 1:09:38.360 you held? What do you like about working here? Tell 1:09:38.360 --> 1:09:41.240 me about your career, Tell me about how you spend 1:09:41.240 --> 1:09:45.479 your spare time. Asking having a few good questions in 1:09:45.520 --> 1:09:49.440 your pocket is really the secret sauce to getting information, 1:09:49.640 --> 1:09:53.240 to getting any conversation off and running. And so then 1:09:53.600 --> 1:09:55.360 they answer it. Then they ask you a question and 1:09:55.600 --> 1:09:58.480 oh my gosh, before you know it, just having a conversation. 1:09:58.560 --> 1:10:01.960 How about that? How about about that my baby's walking. 1:10:02.320 --> 1:10:05.439 Do you think that employers will down the line that 1:10:05.560 --> 1:10:07.680 they're going to pull back from new grads? And what 1:10:07.680 --> 1:10:09.240 does that mean for that generation? What does that mean 1:10:09.280 --> 1:10:09.879 for the workforce. 1:10:10.880 --> 1:10:14.519 Yeah, it's it's really scary. There are universities, there are 1:10:14.560 --> 1:10:17.960 even high schools in Europe that are starting to teach 1:10:18.040 --> 1:10:20.120 that because it's a worldwide sort of thing and this 1:10:20.200 --> 1:10:23.920 isn't just us and so, but it has to start 1:10:23.960 --> 1:10:27.240 at home. It has to start with sitting or you know, 1:10:27.600 --> 1:10:29.680 doing the things that force your child out of their 1:10:29.680 --> 1:10:32.840 comfort zone, making them be out and be useful, as 1:10:32.880 --> 1:10:34.080 we talked about last week. 1:10:34.120 --> 1:10:35.559 And so it has to start there. 1:10:35.920 --> 1:10:38.320 You can't say, well, I raise, you're eighteen, Now go 1:10:38.439 --> 1:10:40.519 to college. They'll teach you everything else you need to know. 1:10:41.000 --> 1:10:43.840 You're putting your sending a lamb to slaughter at that point, 1:10:43.880 --> 1:10:48.839 because they're entering the workforce thinking that because they're so special, 1:10:49.479 --> 1:10:52.000 that everyone is going to cater to them. Well, they 1:10:52.080 --> 1:10:55.559 quickly learn that they don't, and then it's hard to 1:10:56.120 --> 1:10:57.280 hard to recover from that. 1:10:57.479 --> 1:10:58.439 Yeah. 1:10:59.000 --> 1:11:03.760 So yeah, if you put yourself, start putting yourself in 1:11:04.240 --> 1:11:06.960 situations and maybe aren't comfortable just take baby staff. 1:11:07.080 --> 1:11:09.240 Yeah, but it's got to be done if you want 1:11:09.240 --> 1:11:12.160 to participate in the work force. She's Julie Boukie, our 1:11:12.200 --> 1:11:15.200 career expert in Shirpa here on the Scottslan Show Deebouki 1:11:15.320 --> 1:11:17.679 group dot com b a uk is how you spell 1:11:17.760 --> 1:11:19.920 that she's a career coach, consultant, has old team or 1:11:19.960 --> 1:11:22.000 I did to work for you and uh, maybe if 1:11:22.000 --> 1:11:23.439 you have a gen z here in your life, maybe 1:11:23.439 --> 1:11:25.880 whip them in the shape here in a fashion. So, uh, 1:11:25.960 --> 1:11:27.680 Jill's all the best, Grab a great week. We will 1:11:27.760 --> 1:11:31.599 chat again next Wednesday. Yes, indeed we will all right, peace, 1:11:31.840 --> 1:11:34.040 see you later. News on the way in just minutes 1:11:34.080 --> 1:11:37.040 here Tulsea Gabber, director National Tubs is getting grilled on 1:11:37.120 --> 1:11:41.519 Capitol Hill right now about threats, foreign threats to midterm 1:11:41.520 --> 1:11:44.040 elections and more full details and news plus traffic weather 1:11:44.120 --> 1:11:46.880 just ahead on seven hundred WW Cincinnati. 1:11:47.120 --> 1:11:49.000 You want to be in America? 1:11:49.720 --> 1:11:52.760 Plon me back seven hundred WLW. So have you knew 1:11:52.760 --> 1:11:55.080 this about our great state here in Ohio? We are 1:11:55.120 --> 1:11:58.160 not just the birthplace of aviation. I believe that because 1:11:58.200 --> 1:11:59.719 it says that right on your license plate. 1:11:59.760 --> 1:11:59.840 You know. 1:12:00.760 --> 1:12:04.280 It's also one of the top spots for aerospace, aviation 1:12:04.520 --> 1:12:07.559 and defense. We are the number one supplier, the number 1:12:07.560 --> 1:12:10.960 one supplier highways to both Airbus and Boeing, with more 1:12:11.040 --> 1:12:13.639 than one hundred and ten thousand employees in the industry, 1:12:13.680 --> 1:12:16.320 six hundred companies in Ohio, and we right now you think, wow, 1:12:16.360 --> 1:12:19.920 we're pretty saturated. We can't train enough people to fill 1:12:19.960 --> 1:12:23.120 those jobs. And the future is looking really, really bright 1:12:23.160 --> 1:12:26.320 for a lot of these trades within aerospace. And so 1:12:26.880 --> 1:12:29.000 I'm sure you've heard about this. At Middletown Regional Airport, 1:12:29.040 --> 1:12:31.880 Butler Tech just open a brand new, state of the art, 1:12:31.920 --> 1:12:34.840 fifteen million dollar aviation center and this is for high 1:12:34.840 --> 1:12:37.920 school students and it's underway right now. The ribbon has 1:12:37.920 --> 1:12:41.600 been cut and in studios Williams Sprinkles, he's the superintendent 1:12:41.640 --> 1:12:45.040 in CEO of Butler Tech. Welcome to the studio, William. 1:12:45.120 --> 1:12:49.000 Congratulations by the way on the ribbon cutting. Thank you 1:12:49.040 --> 1:12:50.639 for that, Sarah. Thank you for having us, of course, 1:12:50.680 --> 1:12:52.519 and I think the biggest question to have for you, sir, 1:12:52.680 --> 1:12:54.559 is do you get to keep the giant scissors? What 1:12:54.600 --> 1:12:56.400 happens to the giant scissors you cut the ribbon with. 1:12:56.600 --> 1:12:59.960 You know, the giant scissors didn't work at the ribbon cutting, 1:13:00.040 --> 1:13:00.599 Are you kidding? 1:13:00.720 --> 1:13:02.800 We had to have a pair of micro scissors. 1:13:02.800 --> 1:13:06.320 You had a backup scissors shadowed underneath the giant scissors. 1:13:06.320 --> 1:13:09.000 The giant scissors the blade was too dull and didn't work. 1:13:09.520 --> 1:13:10.599 And so I'm sorry. 1:13:10.720 --> 1:13:13.479 We had some nail clippers and some micro scissors. That's 1:13:13.520 --> 1:13:16.880 not acceptable. It works, it works perfect. You're the CEO 1:13:17.040 --> 1:13:18.879 heads need to roll for this? Would you agree? 1:13:19.240 --> 1:13:19.720 Not at all? 1:13:19.760 --> 1:13:22.120 But in the world of career tech, we made it work. Okay, 1:13:22.120 --> 1:13:24.519 you made it happen. You think on the fly we 1:13:24.600 --> 1:13:29.639 always let's collect. I love it. People think, hey, aviation industry, 1:13:29.800 --> 1:13:31.880 everyone wants to be a pilot. That's not true, because 1:13:31.920 --> 1:13:34.559 you have maintenance, you have avionics, you have manufacturing, you 1:13:34.600 --> 1:13:37.880 have all these things. And and also we now have 1:13:38.080 --> 1:13:40.840 flying taxis that are being built in date, and I 1:13:40.840 --> 1:13:43.280 believe if I'm not mistaken, So that's a whole other sector, 1:13:43.360 --> 1:13:48.360 a whole nother evolution and layer of aerospace. We think aerospace, oh, ge, 1:13:48.520 --> 1:13:51.280 but there's so many more companies there, I'm sure, Ge. 1:13:51.680 --> 1:13:55.080 Is it has a hand in what the programming is 1:13:55.080 --> 1:13:57.920 that you do at Butler Tech william But other companies 1:13:57.920 --> 1:13:59.800 involved are what like, how many other companies have a 1:13:59.800 --> 1:14:01.840 set and like, hey, here's here's we want to be 1:14:01.920 --> 1:14:04.320 job ready, this is a workforce development thing. How many 1:14:04.320 --> 1:14:05.840 companies have a seat at the table? Sure? 1:14:06.040 --> 1:14:09.200 At our ribbon cutting we acknowledged at least twelve companies 1:14:09.240 --> 1:14:12.400 that are from the region. Companies like CTL Aerospace Standard ERA, 1:14:12.439 --> 1:14:14.759 which are more in the manufacturing and the aero defense side. 1:14:15.160 --> 1:14:18.880 There's other smaller companies that are local A ANDP mechanics shop, 1:14:18.920 --> 1:14:21.880 companies that sit on the that sit on the Middletown runway, 1:14:22.240 --> 1:14:26.040 and so companies whether they're small in size or large 1:14:26.040 --> 1:14:29.080 in corporate status. We try our best to welcome all 1:14:29.080 --> 1:14:30.760 of them and have a seat at the table and 1:14:30.840 --> 1:14:33.640 provide influence in the shape and the design of the 1:14:33.640 --> 1:14:35.479 curriculum and the experience that the students get. 1:14:35.520 --> 1:14:38.280 Now, I often talk about this on my show. Here 1:14:38.680 --> 1:14:42.120 you beat a trades guy myself and you were identifying 1:14:42.120 --> 1:14:44.640 with the year. Hell you're a doctor now, so doctor Sprinkles. 1:14:45.280 --> 1:14:47.360 They were both like tactile learners, right we you know 1:14:47.360 --> 1:14:50.519 in school, we I was like I'm looking at a book. 1:14:50.560 --> 1:14:52.080 I like, I don't get THEE for it. But you 1:14:52.400 --> 1:14:54.479 you put something applied in front of someone, all of 1:14:54.520 --> 1:14:57.080 a sudden, the light bulb goes off. We have done 1:14:57.200 --> 1:14:59.120 for the last couple of generations, at least the poor 1:14:59.200 --> 1:15:02.280 job of that. How much are we writing the ship now? 1:15:02.320 --> 1:15:04.360 It's starting, it's starting to come back to center a 1:15:04.400 --> 1:15:04.800 little bit. 1:15:06.120 --> 1:15:09.839 I think many people would argue for career tech centers, 1:15:10.560 --> 1:15:14.200 we've already righted that shit, and it's important to name 1:15:14.240 --> 1:15:17.920 that because this idea that career tech centers were only 1:15:17.920 --> 1:15:20.760 for one type of student or a particular type of 1:15:20.800 --> 1:15:25.080 learner is outdated. In Butler Tech's case, we serve eighteen 1:15:25.200 --> 1:15:27.880 thousand students a day between the grades seven and twelve, 1:15:28.560 --> 1:15:31.040 and we serve an additional twenty two to twenty three 1:15:31.080 --> 1:15:34.519 thousand learners a year in our adult education division. So 1:15:34.560 --> 1:15:36.599 in the grand scheme of one calendar year, we're going 1:15:36.640 --> 1:15:39.080 to serve over forty thousand people are going to access 1:15:39.120 --> 1:15:42.200 cared tech education from a Butler Tech location. That's cool, 1:15:42.280 --> 1:15:45.040 class or even a weekend credentialing program. 1:15:45.080 --> 1:15:47.559 Yeah, because I was a kid, and you know, we 1:15:47.600 --> 1:15:49.800 have barely had shopped class and I was so into that. 1:15:49.840 --> 1:15:52.200 I loved it, and they took it away and basically said, well, 1:15:52.200 --> 1:15:53.120 if you want to do that, you've got to go 1:15:53.200 --> 1:15:56.040 this whole Shepherd school for the kids who are troublemakers, 1:15:56.120 --> 1:15:59.080 because the students go here and the dummies go there. 1:15:59.240 --> 1:16:02.400 And thank god, we finally blew that up right. Yeah, 1:16:02.479 --> 1:16:03.719 so you're correct. 1:16:04.240 --> 1:16:06.360 In particular, in the late eighties and the early nineties, 1:16:06.360 --> 1:16:08.679 there's a lot of research about a particular type of family, 1:16:08.720 --> 1:16:12.440 a particular type of student. Those students were forced, persuaded, 1:16:12.520 --> 1:16:15.240 or channeled to career tech centers. And I'm proud to 1:16:15.240 --> 1:16:18.439 say now in really the last ten years at Butler Tech, 1:16:19.080 --> 1:16:22.519 but even today in twenty twenty six, we represent every 1:16:22.560 --> 1:16:24.760 single possibility for a student and a family. If you 1:16:24.800 --> 1:16:26.240 want to go right to the workforce, we have a 1:16:26.240 --> 1:16:28.040 program for that. If you want to go to a 1:16:28.040 --> 1:16:31.080 two year school, we have a program that'll kickstart you 1:16:31.600 --> 1:16:33.400 and get you ahead and lower the cost of that 1:16:33.439 --> 1:16:36.640 to your journey. And if you want to eventually go 1:16:36.680 --> 1:16:38.879 to a four year school or even your doctorate program, 1:16:39.160 --> 1:16:42.000 we have pathways that lead to those experiences. Things such 1:16:42.000 --> 1:16:45.360 as biomedical engineering and our Bioscience Center. We have something 1:16:45.400 --> 1:16:49.040 for everybody that leads to a high level education, a 1:16:49.120 --> 1:16:52.519 hands on education and hopefully it keeps families and students 1:16:52.600 --> 1:16:53.960 out of debt and poverty free. 1:16:54.160 --> 1:16:55.880 And these are our skills the are in demand because 1:16:55.920 --> 1:16:58.080 now you're partnering with the companies that so it's a 1:16:58.120 --> 1:17:01.120 great pipeline. They're trained up. And you hear that for college, 1:17:01.600 --> 1:17:05.599 the college path traditional for year university that young people 1:17:05.640 --> 1:17:08.320 will graduate, they'll come and they have no job skills whatsoever. 1:17:08.400 --> 1:17:10.519 Like they have this degree but no job skills. You 1:17:10.560 --> 1:17:15.200 guys are teaching not only the craft, but also how 1:17:15.240 --> 1:17:18.439 to develop that you know, how to get in that situation, 1:17:18.560 --> 1:17:20.080 I guess is what I'm trying to say, and be 1:17:20.400 --> 1:17:22.320 actually just work from day one. They don't have to 1:17:22.360 --> 1:17:25.160 retrain you like they do with a college degree. Yeah, 1:17:25.200 --> 1:17:26.679 so I appreciate that framing. 1:17:27.360 --> 1:17:30.280 Our belief is that young people need to have the 1:17:30.280 --> 1:17:33.920 actual hands on skills and the actual processes of how 1:17:33.960 --> 1:17:36.360 to operate machines and equipment and the credentials to make 1:17:36.400 --> 1:17:39.639 them successful in the workforce. We also believe our young 1:17:39.640 --> 1:17:42.599 people at butter A Tech have an opportunity to have 1:17:42.640 --> 1:17:46.040 the business acumen to not only be the person that 1:17:46.120 --> 1:17:49.000 works on the shop floor. But if they eventually aspire 1:17:49.040 --> 1:17:51.040 to want to be the CEO of the factory, they 1:17:51.040 --> 1:17:53.719 have that opportunity and we give them those skill sets 1:17:53.760 --> 1:17:56.519 to start moving in that direction and can start their career. 1:17:57.200 --> 1:17:59.360 The young people I mentor in the trades and trying 1:17:59.360 --> 1:18:01.240 to get them situation and which which type of trade 1:18:01.280 --> 1:18:05.200 with electrician, plumber, hi, whatever it is, aviation. It's like, listen, 1:18:05.240 --> 1:18:07.240 you know you're smart enough to do this, okay, and 1:18:07.320 --> 1:18:09.840 go to school, but also keep an eye on how 1:18:09.840 --> 1:18:12.439 the business runs, because the goal some days to get 1:18:12.439 --> 1:18:14.920 you to own your own company. And that's true not 1:18:15.000 --> 1:18:17.360 for everybody, but for a lot of these kids. You're like, wow, 1:18:17.400 --> 1:18:19.280 I can do this, and I learned so much that 1:18:19.320 --> 1:18:20.920 I want to go and do it my way now 1:18:20.960 --> 1:18:23.880 and hire people and become the next generation of entrepreneurs. 1:18:23.920 --> 1:18:24.120 Yeah. 1:18:24.120 --> 1:18:26.839 There's a lot of social media footage right now about 1:18:27.240 --> 1:18:30.559 one particular type of entrepreneur that's going to emerge because 1:18:30.600 --> 1:18:35.240 of the conflict with artificial intelligence is electricians. Electricians are 1:18:35.240 --> 1:18:39.200 going to be triple their worth and triple their value 1:18:39.840 --> 1:18:42.479 the cost that you're going to be able to charge 1:18:42.479 --> 1:18:44.559 and to make and to create profit share by being 1:18:44.640 --> 1:18:48.639 in a high skilled electrician is not something that artificial 1:18:48.640 --> 1:18:51.320 intelligence is going to take over that trade of soon. 1:18:51.360 --> 1:18:54.760 Anyways, my nephew moved here from out West and he's like, 1:18:55.080 --> 1:18:56.240 I just want to work. I want to get a 1:18:56.280 --> 1:18:57.760 job and I want to go to school. He said, 1:18:57.800 --> 1:19:00.040 what should I do? And I will consider trades. I 1:19:00.160 --> 1:19:03.160 mentioned aviation, he goes. He goes, well, which one has 1:19:03.160 --> 1:19:06.519 the most gross said hands down, electrician because of data farms, 1:19:06.560 --> 1:19:08.479 because of the infrastructures, Like you're going to have a 1:19:08.560 --> 1:19:10.720 job for the rest of your life and beyond. You 1:19:10.760 --> 1:19:12.439 may be working from the grave if you want to, 1:19:12.479 --> 1:19:14.080 but you're gonna make great money and you're gonna meet 1:19:14.080 --> 1:19:17.640 and demand do that because we need electrical workers more 1:19:17.800 --> 1:19:21.320 more than anything. William Sprinkles is the superintendent c Butler Tech. 1:19:21.320 --> 1:19:22.960 They just up at a fifteen million at state of 1:19:22.960 --> 1:19:26.559 the art Aviation Center of Middletown Airport and it's workforce 1:19:26.560 --> 1:19:29.400 development we're talking about. Ohio is the number one supplier 1:19:29.840 --> 1:19:32.080 to Airbus and Boeing and there's one hundred and ten 1:19:32.080 --> 1:19:34.080 thousand jobs and it's growing here in OHI. If you're 1:19:34.080 --> 1:19:35.920 looking to get in a professions here on for a 1:19:36.000 --> 1:19:38.639 long time, we have despite what you see with TSA 1:19:38.760 --> 1:19:41.400 lines and everything else in that nightmare, and maybe that 1:19:41.439 --> 1:19:43.960 goes to show you need more workers. But air travel 1:19:44.040 --> 1:19:47.200 and cargo with on demand is getting bigger and bigger 1:19:47.200 --> 1:19:49.320 and bigger. If you thought it was already big, it's 1:19:49.360 --> 1:19:51.920 going to get much bigger. The projection is maybe even 1:19:51.960 --> 1:19:54.800 triple in just a number of years where we are 1:19:54.880 --> 1:19:56.360 right now. That's kind of hard to believe. But you 1:19:56.400 --> 1:19:59.040 need the bodies in there too. And you hear about 1:19:59.080 --> 1:20:01.840 AI automation coming for jobs that doesn't apply here, does it? 1:20:01.880 --> 1:20:02.040 Well? 1:20:02.040 --> 1:20:03.799 It It does. 1:20:05.520 --> 1:20:10.320 Many of the trade pathways. Here's the thinking. If you 1:20:10.479 --> 1:20:13.759 think that you are going to be replaced by a robot, 1:20:14.320 --> 1:20:17.200 you probably are. You have to be willing to work 1:20:17.240 --> 1:20:20.320 with the emerging technology and work with robots. So there's 1:20:20.360 --> 1:20:23.560 a lot of technical pathways that are working with cobots. 1:20:23.920 --> 1:20:26.120 There's a lot of technical pathways that have to learn 1:20:26.120 --> 1:20:29.719 how to navigate the prompt engineering to embed AI inside 1:20:29.720 --> 1:20:33.280 of the pathways. It's not something that AI is exclusive 1:20:33.320 --> 1:20:38.080 from being invasive of those pathways. We're pushing all of 1:20:38.080 --> 1:20:40.200 our students, all of our teachers, all of our staff 1:20:40.439 --> 1:20:43.200 to embrace artificial intelligence and make sure that they're on 1:20:43.240 --> 1:20:45.599 the cutting edge of what's happening in those particular trades, 1:20:46.040 --> 1:20:51.559 industries and local pipelines. Yeah, because it's not something you 1:20:51.560 --> 1:20:53.839 can fight at this point. If you're not embracing it 1:20:53.640 --> 1:20:56.799 and working alongside it, it's going to be a competitor 1:20:56.840 --> 1:20:57.479 for you eventually. 1:20:57.520 --> 1:20:59.799 Yeah, and you know you're right, there's going to be displacement. 1:20:59.840 --> 1:21:01.840 But I'm wondering, you know, if you're an AVIA, if 1:21:01.840 --> 1:21:05.120 you're a mechanic, for example, AI is not gonna it 1:21:05.160 --> 1:21:07.160 may it may augment your job. That may change some 1:21:07.320 --> 1:21:09.519 things as being a force multiplier for you, but you 1:21:09.640 --> 1:21:12.080 still have to get in and fix that engine or 1:21:12.080 --> 1:21:14.200 that part. AI is not in a robots and can 1:21:14.200 --> 1:21:15.720 be able to do that because you have to have 1:21:15.760 --> 1:21:19.360 the critical thinking which may be augmented by AI, but 1:21:19.400 --> 1:21:21.080 you still have to do it with your hands as 1:21:21.080 --> 1:21:23.680 opposed to a robot. So I think those job. But 1:21:23.800 --> 1:21:26.720 I wonder about pilots. You know, we know there's a 1:21:26.720 --> 1:21:29.280 massive pilot shortage right now. When you can't get enough pilots, 1:21:29.520 --> 1:21:33.800 do we start to see is autonomous airplanes a thing 1:21:33.880 --> 1:21:34.639 that's going to happen. 1:21:35.000 --> 1:21:38.840 There's a lot of companies that are investing billions of 1:21:38.840 --> 1:21:41.400 dollars into the regional economy here in the Greater Cincinnati 1:21:41.439 --> 1:21:44.280 great and Dating great in ed Area, great in Dayton areas, 1:21:44.360 --> 1:21:47.760 Greater Dating areas such as such as Jobie that specialize 1:21:47.760 --> 1:21:49.080 in the vertical lift and take off. 1:21:49.520 --> 1:21:51.160 Is that the air taxis I was talking about. It 1:21:51.200 --> 1:21:53.919 is the air taxies. So those are still being piloted. 1:21:53.960 --> 1:21:56.280 They're what we're seeing right now in industry is they're 1:21:56.320 --> 1:22:00.800 making a shift from delivering goods and content and packages 1:22:00.840 --> 1:22:03.479 that are in particular weights to figuring out the volume 1:22:03.520 --> 1:22:05.920 of how many people that they can transport. And then 1:22:05.960 --> 1:22:08.320 you have to figure out how the airspace is regulated 1:22:08.640 --> 1:22:11.479 for the particular size of those particular aircrafts and how 1:22:11.520 --> 1:22:12.440 they work in airspace. 1:22:12.760 --> 1:22:16.080 And that's a whole nother a. I see AI managing 1:22:16.120 --> 1:22:18.519 air traffic too, air traffic controllers, it's gonna be AI. 1:22:18.800 --> 1:22:21.240 It's gonna be a while before one of us goes, yeah, 1:22:21.240 --> 1:22:23.040 I'm gonna get on this plane with no pilot. It's 1:22:23.080 --> 1:22:25.040 that's gonna take a minute. That's gonna take him in. 1:22:25.160 --> 1:22:28.120 Well, there's already the autonomous cars that are predominantly in 1:22:28.360 --> 1:22:29.920 the larger metropolitan areas. 1:22:30.520 --> 1:22:32.320 They're they're out west in Phoenix. When I was in 1:22:32.320 --> 1:22:32.840 Phoenix for. 1:22:32.800 --> 1:22:34.960 A conference, they're out west and it's crazy, right, and 1:22:35.000 --> 1:22:36.680 you they're fully autonomous. 1:22:36.760 --> 1:22:39.519 Yep, no driver in them. It's not that far off. Yeah, 1:22:39.720 --> 1:22:42.439 it's not. It's just again, the early adopters will be like, 1:22:42.760 --> 1:22:45.160 I may try this if I'm adventurous, but I can 1:22:45.240 --> 1:22:47.479 see how people get nervous about that. But in the future, 1:22:47.520 --> 1:22:50.400 in you know, twenty thirty, forty fifty years, it'll just 1:22:50.439 --> 1:22:52.639 be ah, this is what we do. We have pilot list. 1:22:52.920 --> 1:22:55.160 We don't need potles. It'll look like the Jetsons, correct, 1:22:55.280 --> 1:22:59.080 and we're headed that way. What is your completion rate 1:22:59.160 --> 1:23:02.120 and also place rate for new grads? Now, granted you 1:23:02.160 --> 1:23:04.600 just opened the center right now, but I'm sure you 1:23:04.640 --> 1:23:06.760 have a target. But what's your success been. We have 1:23:06.800 --> 1:23:09.040 two answers for that. Our graduation rate at bull Attech 1:23:09.080 --> 1:23:10.880 for the last ten years is nine. 1:23:12.479 --> 1:23:14.760 Nine percent. Some years it's one hundred. The lowest it's 1:23:14.760 --> 1:23:18.439 been is ninety nine. The students that complete our secondary Pathway, 1:23:18.439 --> 1:23:21.479 which is the equivalent of a high school diploma, those 1:23:21.479 --> 1:23:24.160 students were graduating ninety nine percent of our students and 1:23:24.560 --> 1:23:27.519 shout outs to not only our staff, but all of 1:23:27.560 --> 1:23:31.320 the partner schools that have partner based relationships that feed 1:23:31.360 --> 1:23:34.640 into Butler Tech. That's important to acknowledge our relationship with them. 1:23:34.680 --> 1:23:38.400 And on the adult education side, our placement rate is 1:23:38.560 --> 1:23:43.000 ninety percent for adult learners of every single ethnic group 1:23:43.040 --> 1:23:45.160 that we have, So that means white students, Black students, 1:23:45.240 --> 1:23:50.120 Asian students, Hispanic, Hispanic Latino students, multi racial students. 1:23:50.200 --> 1:23:51.920 Ninety percent of students from any. 1:23:51.720 --> 1:23:55.519 Subgroup that's incredible get placed into a job of the 1:23:55.720 --> 1:23:58.679 of the pathway, of the credential that they acquired within 1:23:58.720 --> 1:23:59.960 six months. 1:23:59.760 --> 1:24:03.559 That goes to show you just how successful and why 1:24:03.600 --> 1:24:06.720 this fifteen million dollar plant is needed. So on that, 1:24:07.120 --> 1:24:10.640 I know, the median wage for someone in the aerospace 1:24:10.640 --> 1:24:13.840 industries like right around six figures, right, one hundred thousand dollars. 1:24:13.920 --> 1:24:17.000 People leaving with that degree leaving Butler Tech, what are 1:24:17.000 --> 1:24:17.479 they earning. 1:24:19.280 --> 1:24:22.840 Students are not leaving Butler Tech with a degree after 1:24:22.840 --> 1:24:25.519 their high school experience. What they are leaving with is 1:24:25.520 --> 1:24:28.479 a series of high level credentials that are accepted and 1:24:28.520 --> 1:24:32.559 embraced within the industry in multiple different subpathways. So at 1:24:32.600 --> 1:24:36.680 our Aerospace Center, students will filter through one of three pathways. 1:24:37.160 --> 1:24:39.920 There is the aerospace pathway, which many students will lead 1:24:40.000 --> 1:24:43.360 right into college. That's a four year pathway. Students matriculate 1:24:43.400 --> 1:24:46.360 to four year universities if they want to focus on aerospace, 1:24:47.120 --> 1:24:49.960 or many of those students will head into manufacturing careers 1:24:49.960 --> 1:24:52.840 that work for Department of Defense and other types of 1:24:52.880 --> 1:24:55.959 industries like that. There are students that will be the mechanics, 1:24:55.960 --> 1:24:59.439 which is the AMP the airframe and power plant mechanic pathway. 1:25:00.240 --> 1:25:04.639 That particular industry has thousands of jobs within a two 1:25:04.680 --> 1:25:07.599 hour radius of the Greater Cincinnati area. And then the 1:25:07.640 --> 1:25:11.120 third pathway, students will have the opportunity to earn various 1:25:11.160 --> 1:25:15.639 different credentials for their private pilot license. Their private pilot 1:25:15.640 --> 1:25:18.920 license can be for their personal aircraft, can lead to 1:25:19.120 --> 1:25:22.680 the ability to fly a corporate aircraft, and it can 1:25:22.720 --> 1:25:24.880 also lead to your drone license, which is huge in 1:25:25.000 --> 1:25:29.120 various different sub industries right now, such as defense, construction, 1:25:29.200 --> 1:25:31.880 real estate construction, and that list goes on and on 1:25:31.880 --> 1:25:33.800 and on, and of course industries like yourself in the 1:25:33.840 --> 1:25:34.400 media industry. 1:25:34.479 --> 1:25:37.800 Yeah, yeah, that's fascinating. So you're pretty much guaranteed a job, 1:25:37.920 --> 1:25:39.840 you know, and not only that, the success rate is 1:25:39.880 --> 1:25:41.840 so high it's a no brainer. I think it may 1:25:41.840 --> 1:25:43.600 be for somebody who's going, wow, am I going to 1:25:43.600 --> 1:25:45.960 get laid off? I've got laid off again? Maybe you 1:25:45.960 --> 1:25:48.879 want to pivot career wise. The adult education program is wonderful. 1:25:49.479 --> 1:25:52.200 It is the brand new Butler Tech Aviation Center at 1:25:52.240 --> 1:25:55.519 Middletown Regional Airport. Williams.

This is 1:31:06.400 --> 1:31:08.720 why you don't last Thursday's game though, had me on edge. 1:31:08.720 --> 1:31:10.080 I was like, I don't like how these guys are 1:31:10.120 --> 1:31:10.880 playing in this one. 1:31:10.920 --> 1:31:13.280 I really want Miami to win because you don't want 1:31:13.280 --> 1:31:15.519 to lose two. You go perfect, then you lose your 1:31:15.560 --> 1:31:17.559 two games. When it came to go back. 1:31:17.360 --> 1:31:20.519 To back losses like that, I was worried watching selection Sunday, 1:31:20.760 --> 1:31:22.400 I was like, or are they going to get in? 1:31:23.000 --> 1:31:24.680 You got the akron Zips, the. 1:31:24.680 --> 1:31:27.160 Three other teams more behind them, so it wasn't like 1:31:27.160 --> 1:31:29.479 they're the last team in. But right, I'm hoping for 1:31:30.240 --> 1:31:32.200 you know, fourteen seed and fifteen. 1:31:31.840 --> 1:31:33.120 You got to put them in there at thirty one 1:31:33.160 --> 1:31:35.880 and one. So yeah, now you say up for this one? 1:31:35.880 --> 1:31:39.040 Will you watch? Being a maction kind of guy, let's start. 1:31:39.280 --> 1:31:41.720 Oh, they say nine to fifteen, but it'll likely be 1:31:42.000 --> 1:31:43.160 closer than nine five. 1:31:43.280 --> 1:31:44.240 Probably watch first half. 1:31:44.400 --> 1:31:47.720 Okay, all that matters are the last few seconds. I know, 1:31:48.000 --> 1:31:49.320 and I think it's going to be close. 1:31:49.360 --> 1:31:50.120 I really do. 1:31:50.680 --> 1:31:52.200 I think it's going to come down. It's going to 1:31:52.280 --> 1:31:53.639 come down to the final few seconds. 1:31:53.640 --> 1:31:53.960 I know it. 1:31:54.360 --> 1:31:57.400 When you're not a UC or Xavier or O you alum, 1:31:57.439 --> 1:31:58.320 you're a Miami alum. 1:31:58.439 --> 1:31:58.680 I am. 1:31:58.680 --> 1:32:02.240 I'm wearing my Miami a Lum sweatshirt today. 1:32:02.320 --> 1:32:04.599 You know they don't hand those Miami Alump shirts out 1:32:04.640 --> 1:32:07.439 to anyone.

I mean I get chills 1:32:38.640 --> 1:32:40.439 thinking about it. It's it was so cool. 1:32:40.520 --> 1:32:42.559 You know, the shirt play is you want Team USA 1:32:42.600 --> 1:32:43.439 to win, which they didn't. 1:32:43.520 --> 1:32:45.120 You do you want Gino to win, and you want 1:32:45.240 --> 1:32:45.760 USA to win. 1:32:45.880 --> 1:32:48.240 You want to win. It's like, but Gino was so hot, 1:32:48.720 --> 1:32:51.479 so hot. Okay, that's going to transl like he's got 1:32:51.520 --> 1:32:52.880 a chip playing. He was playing with a chip on 1:32:52.920 --> 1:32:53.560 his shoulder. 1:32:53.320 --> 1:32:55.439 And after that home run, the other wonder why. 1:32:55.439 --> 1:32:57.640 It's like, maybe you know what we're doing with Venezuela, 1:32:57.720 --> 1:32:59.680 and like, I'm sure he's not a Maduro fan, but 1:32:59.720 --> 1:33:02.240 he's been very outspoken about action over there, and maybe 1:33:02.280 --> 1:33:03.960 that's the chip on his shoulder. Maybe this is like 1:33:04.040 --> 1:33:06.120 he shows up and is just breaking from day one, 1:33:06.160 --> 1:33:08.439 which you know what the long play is. I don't 1:33:08.439 --> 1:33:10.400 want to see Team USA lose. But if it means 1:33:10.520 --> 1:33:12.880 Suarez is going to play like that for the season, I'm. 1:33:12.760 --> 1:33:14.720 In bring all the good vibes to Cincinnati. 1:33:14.800 --> 1:33:14.960 Yeah. 1:33:14.960 --> 1:33:16.920 With a go ahead double in the ninth last night, 1:33:16.960 --> 1:33:20.479 of course, Venezuela over us A three to two. And 1:33:20.680 --> 1:33:22.640 if you've not seen this speech, it's trending all of 1:33:22.640 --> 1:33:26.640 our social media. Very lengthy, but he basically said, you know, 1:33:26.800 --> 1:33:29.960 not just teammates, were a family and he just he 1:33:30.080 --> 1:33:32.320 was preaching the Bible. He was like, God is good 1:33:32.320 --> 1:33:35.439 as all because of God, and man, it's just chilling 1:33:35.439 --> 1:33:36.280 to watch good Man. 1:33:36.479 --> 1:33:38.439 So I'm glad that he is a Cincinnati Red. That's 1:33:38.479 --> 1:33:38.920 the best. 1:33:39.040 --> 1:33:41.479 Yeah, that's the best that they made in the off season. 1:33:41.600 --> 1:33:43.840 Cannot wait to watch him. Looking forward to it and 1:33:43.920 --> 1:33:49.720 to hear that intro Josie do it sony'ow it. 1:33:49.920 --> 1:33:51.800 No, he doesn't let you do it. 1:33:53.439 --> 1:33:53.599 Nice? 1:33:53.600 --> 1:33:56.479 And hey, can you do? Then you can't do the lineup? 1:33:56.760 --> 1:33:59.240 A hanio hanio? 1:34:00.400 --> 1:34:01.519 Wow, there it is. 1:34:01.640 --> 1:34:06.519 Thank you. Also, I have more good news, So Hunt. 1:34:06.800 --> 1:34:10.320 Broken Glass night at Great American Ballpark. All kids hunder 1:34:10.360 --> 1:34:12.519 twelve get a free bag of broken glass. 1:34:12.600 --> 1:34:14.759 Speaking of broken glass, that leads me to my next 1:34:15.080 --> 1:34:17.840 point here of talking about Hunter green Hu and all 1:34:17.880 --> 1:34:19.439 those broken chips in his elbow. 1:34:19.840 --> 1:34:22.439 So we got that fixed and he decided to go back. 1:34:23.120 --> 1:34:26.439 It's Mr Night, Great American Ballpark. 1:34:26.040 --> 1:34:31.080 More M Horizon RBI perfect. So he got the chips 1:34:31.080 --> 1:34:33.519 in the elbow all figured out, and he decided to 1:34:33.520 --> 1:34:35.519 go back out to Arizona. 1:34:35.280 --> 1:34:37.959 And had nothing but good things to say about the procedure. 1:34:38.000 --> 1:34:41.840 He said, he already feels freedom in that elbow and said, 1:34:41.880 --> 1:34:44.280 you know, I've got the normal swelling and the discomfort, 1:34:44.400 --> 1:34:46.160 but I'm making progress pretty quick. 1:34:46.240 --> 1:34:48.520 Why didn't we do this last year in October? 1:34:49.200 --> 1:34:54.280 Why bruh, we'd be well on our way with hundred Green. 1:34:54.960 --> 1:34:58.519 No kidding, Yeah, I'm sure it does after it's been 1:34:58.600 --> 1:35:03.760 injured for six months. I'm hot and cold with Hunter Green. Yeah, 1:35:03.800 --> 1:35:08.280 it's like when he's great, he's great, but he's stubborn. 1:35:07.920 --> 1:35:12.439 Dude, elbow chicks man. Well now he doesn't have those chips. 1:35:12.439 --> 1:35:14.519 It's all so nup. I shouldn't pay him for this. 1:35:14.640 --> 1:35:15.960 I demand a rebate. 1:35:16.120 --> 1:35:18.360 He makes too much money for this. This is ridiculous, 1:35:18.760 --> 1:35:20.600 just a bad move. So of course, while I was 1:35:20.600 --> 1:35:22.559 in Arizona, they did announce. I know we all know 1:35:22.600 --> 1:35:24.439 this by now, that it's going to be Andrew rabbits 1:35:24.960 --> 1:35:27.599 on the mound next Thursday, taking on the Red Sox 1:35:27.640 --> 1:35:28.800 when it all starts to count. 1:35:29.040 --> 1:35:30.320 How do you feel about Andrew Rabbit. 1:35:30.360 --> 1:35:32.320 I mean, he's had a rough spring, and I know 1:35:32.360 --> 1:35:34.000 Peo are kind of giving him a hard time about it. 1:35:34.040 --> 1:35:37.200 But Andrew has told media, look, I am just trying 1:35:37.240 --> 1:35:39.679 to stay healthy here. I think he's got an era 1:35:39.880 --> 1:35:42.680 of over thirteen now, so rough thoughts. 1:35:43.400 --> 1:35:45.880 I mean again, start of the season. You want to 1:35:45.920 --> 1:35:48.320 come out of the blocks hot for sure, Yeah, I mean, 1:35:48.600 --> 1:35:50.640 but but who else would you would you elevate over 1:35:50.640 --> 1:35:51.400 the Lodol. 1:35:52.120 --> 1:35:54.400 Singer, Lodolo, Chase Burns. 1:35:54.080 --> 1:35:57.160 Red Louder, You got the Boston Red Sox coming in. Yeah, 1:35:57.720 --> 1:35:59.960 gotta puts your best out there, So maybe he got 1:36:00.000 --> 1:36:03.360 I don't know, it's right the expectations. Green comes back 1:36:03.400 --> 1:36:05.400 around maybe after the All Star break at. 1:36:05.280 --> 1:36:08.840 This point at the earliest, and that is if everything 1:36:08.920 --> 1:36:11.360 is going okay and he doesn't go pushing it like 1:36:11.400 --> 1:36:14.360 he was doing in October pitching against the Dodgers. 1:36:14.520 --> 1:36:14.800 God. 1:36:16.520 --> 1:36:18.640 So yeah, we'll see Andrew the other day for his 1:36:19.000 --> 1:36:20.840 last start. I don't know if that's the last start 1:36:20.840 --> 1:36:22.960 that we'll see from him before Opening Day. I would 1:36:23.000 --> 1:36:24.920 imagine that Tito will give him one more. 1:36:25.320 --> 1:36:25.840 Maybe they just. 1:36:27.240 --> 1:36:29.759 But he did have sixty nine pitches and only two 1:36:29.880 --> 1:36:34.000 innings and he gave up four runs, so kind of tough. 1:36:34.000 --> 1:36:35.800 He did say that he wasn't feeling well, So I 1:36:35.840 --> 1:36:38.120 hope that everything can be one hundred percent and ready 1:36:38.160 --> 1:36:38.360 to go. 1:36:39.760 --> 1:36:41.439 You can't worry about it's going to happen. We'll find 1:36:41.439 --> 1:36:42.479 out you can't. 1:36:42.720 --> 1:36:44.200 So it's gonna be a split squad day. 1:36:44.400 --> 1:36:47.000 Half of the team will stay at Goodyear Ballpark where 1:36:47.000 --> 1:36:49.240 they'll host the Rockies and the other and they'll have 1:36:49.240 --> 1:36:51.080 Brady Singer on the mound for that one, and then 1:36:51.160 --> 1:36:54.760 the other half will go to Arizona's stadium. 1:36:54.840 --> 1:36:58.000 So it'll be most likely like an opening day looking. 1:36:57.760 --> 1:37:02.679 Kind of get everybody getting some working. Yeah, yeah, Tom 1:37:02.680 --> 1:37:04.800 Bridman hasn't been on vacation. He's actually it's part of 1:37:04.840 --> 1:37:08.479 our split squad. Action squad was off. I think Eddie 1:37:08.560 --> 1:37:10.600 was off. Willie was off, so it's like we had 1:37:10.640 --> 1:37:11.160 split squad. 1:37:11.240 --> 1:37:13.000 Yeah, we have more guys out than it. Yeah, I 1:37:13.000 --> 1:37:13.800 don't know what's going on. 1:37:13.920 --> 1:37:15.519 Reinhard wants to try some guys out. You know what 1:37:15.520 --> 1:37:17.800 it is, I get it split squad and yeah, yeah, 1:37:18.040 --> 1:37:22.200 Tom's doing a morning showing Lima likely. No, Will, I'm sorry, no, 1:37:22.360 --> 1:37:23.400 it was I think Will. 1:37:23.479 --> 1:37:24.320 He's done in Maple. 1:37:24.520 --> 1:37:26.840 I think Fingers was getting some working on line of time. 1:37:26.880 --> 1:37:27.599 Where has he been? 1:37:27.680 --> 1:37:27.920 Tom? 1:37:29.080 --> 1:37:31.160 Tom was out in iHeart Kansas City? 1:37:31.320 --> 1:37:40.840 So what you got me all distracted here? 1:37:41.080 --> 1:37:43.880 And of course we've been talking about Matt McClain being 1:37:44.000 --> 1:37:48.280 red hot, the hottest hitter of this team in spring ball. 1:37:48.360 --> 1:37:50.519 His average is like a five to fifty three. He's 1:37:50.560 --> 1:37:53.920 got six home runs. Do you think he can carry 1:37:53.920 --> 1:37:56.680 this over into the regular season. I mean, we know 1:37:56.760 --> 1:37:59.040 he's coming off that bad surgery in twenty twenty four. 1:37:59.160 --> 1:38:02.840 Last year was brutal for this guy, but he seems 1:38:02.880 --> 1:38:04.640 to believe them. He's put them in the too, in 1:38:04.680 --> 1:38:06.800 the two spot between Friedol and Ellie's. 1:38:06.880 --> 1:38:11.120 So how is he Why wouldn't he continue that into 1:38:11.120 --> 1:38:11.880 the regular season. 1:38:12.560 --> 1:38:14.320 I don't know the pressures on though right now. I 1:38:14.320 --> 1:38:15.960 feel like there's not a whole lot of pressure. 1:38:15.960 --> 1:38:16.759 Pretty good at pressure. 1:38:16.800 --> 1:38:19.120 I think they they can handle a tough situation. 1:38:19.560 --> 1:38:19.800 Well. 1:38:19.840 --> 1:38:21.320 I mean, he gets wires and there's taking a lot 1:38:21.320 --> 1:38:23.000 of pressure off guys McLean and him. 1:38:23.040 --> 1:38:26.040 So it's I think he's he's really good in the clubhouse. 1:38:26.080 --> 1:38:28.639 I think he's going to bring a lot of good 1:38:28.960 --> 1:38:29.840 vibes on. 1:38:30.000 --> 1:38:31.960 The team, as long as none enough to get elbow 1:38:32.040 --> 1:38:32.639 chips were. 1:38:32.479 --> 1:38:35.160 Good, Keep the chips out of the elbow, keep everything 1:38:35.920 --> 1:38:36.719 everything solid. 1:38:36.920 --> 1:38:39.120 I heard you, I already had chips on his elbow, 1:38:39.120 --> 1:38:42.120 and I said, what what the tortilla Grippo's you got 1:38:42.120 --> 1:38:45.800 the let me see here, you got Fredo's, you got 1:38:45.800 --> 1:38:50.120 that jar that would have the wooded pepper, uh peanut, 1:38:50.120 --> 1:38:54.800 but pringles, and then you got what else lays there's 1:38:54.960 --> 1:38:57.720 uh uh ruffles. 1:38:59.520 --> 1:39:01.240 I'm trying to ruffle any feathers here. 1:39:01.280 --> 1:39:05.680 But Joe Burrow is making the headlines also because you're 1:39:05.680 --> 1:39:07.680 probably like, what is Joe Burrow up to in the 1:39:07.680 --> 1:39:12.120 off season.
