Speaker 1: Affects everybody basically in the sound of our voice, that's right.
Speaker 1: I'm not everybody shots at Kroger, obviously, but I'd say
Speaker 1: a large majority.
Speaker 2: Dough, Yeah, but a lot of folks are affected by
Speaker 2: just that big behemoth of a company that is. And look,
Speaker 2: this concept of remote work, that is one of the
Speaker 2: things that sprung from COVID, right, and everyone had to
Speaker 2: work or we had to work from home. And then
Speaker 2: it got to be where people were like, what's work
Speaker 2: from home? Thing? Ain't bad? I the boss ain't there.
Speaker 2: I can walk my dog if I have five minutes.
Speaker 2: But I think a lot of companies found that in essence,
Speaker 2: while you may like to work from home, you most
Speaker 2: people don't necessarily work well from home, right, they don't,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: It's apparently Kroger has found that out. Correct. Circling back
Speaker 1: to our conversation about Kroger, is that downtown, that giant
Speaker 1: building that's been down there as long as I remember,
Speaker 1: since I and I moved, been down fifty years ago.
Speaker 1: It has been kind of non occupied.
Speaker 2: Right, So yeah. According to Dan Monk's article, Kroger has
Speaker 2: about forty eight hundred local office employees and come the
Speaker 2: first of the year. They're demanding that all of them
Speaker 2: come back to the office.
Speaker 1: And we have that man with us right here, Dan
Speaker 1: Monk from the I team WCPO nine News. And so, Danielle,
Speaker 1: you're your story. You had this on a little while back,
Speaker 1: but we hadn't heard about it. But it's the first
Speaker 1: of the year, right, it's expected to do one hundred
Speaker 1: percent attendance.
Speaker 3: Now, right, that's by the way, I'm working from home
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 2: Yes, well, yeah, you're on the phone.
Speaker 4: Actually maybe you shouldn't tell the boss that, but I am.
Speaker 2: I'm working.
Speaker 4: I'm really working.
Speaker 1: But Dan, I mean, but they're making a big issue
Speaker 1: out of the fact that a lot of the small businesses,
Speaker 1: and I was going to ask you about that, where
Speaker 1: a lot of the small businesses they're kind of clamoring
Speaker 1: for this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have been, and Kroger has gradually been bringing
Speaker 3: people back. I think last year it was they brought
Speaker 3: him back to maybe three days a week, and now
Speaker 3: they're bringing everybody back full time. But that is welcome
Speaker 3: news to the folks at three c DC. They say
Speaker 3: it's going to be a shot in the arm for
Speaker 3: small businesses. And what Joe Rudemiller the folk's been for
Speaker 3: three c DC told me is that you can still
Speaker 3: tell on Monday and Friday that people still work from
Speaker 3: home a lot. But he thinks a lot of the
Speaker 3: traffic and the pedestrian traffic, the energy of downtown has
Speaker 3: really come back from that Tuesday to Thursday stretch. And
Speaker 3: you know, they're getting some additional traffic from the fact
Speaker 3: that more people are living downtown, and so you know,
Speaker 3: he thinks downtown is making a comeback. But the fact
Speaker 3: that the you know, the biggest company in town is
Speaker 3: is mandating full time work at the downtown and all
Speaker 3: the local corporate offices, that's good news for the for
Speaker 3: the surrounding businesses.
Speaker 2: Well, I have to imagine the local restaurants and I
Speaker 2: have to be the biggest benefactors here. You're talking forty
Speaker 2: eight hundred employees that are now going to be back
Speaker 2: downtown on a more consistent basis, that that's going to
Speaker 2: be a big help to them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's definitely true. And you hear that from restaurant tours,
Speaker 3: especially the ones on the sort of the east and
Speaker 3: the and the northern part of town where Kroger is based.
Speaker 3: And then you've got PNG and Western Southern you know,
Speaker 3: on the southeast corner of downtown, and the people that
Speaker 3: operate businesses near there are grateful for the fact that
Speaker 3: Western Southern pretty much had full time you know, work
Speaker 3: in the office very shortly after the pandemic ended. Now
Speaker 3: a lot of people are still working from home. It's
Speaker 3: like thirty five million people still work from home according
Speaker 3: to the Labor Department. That's their most recent testament in
Speaker 3: September of last year. And the executive search firm Robert Half,
Speaker 3: they did a survey and they found that eighty eight
Speaker 3: percent of employees are still offering hybrid work options. So
Speaker 3: it's it's not something that's going to go away forever.
Speaker 3: People like working at home and they demand it.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and according to your stats, are at thirty
Speaker 2: five million number. According to your request, twenty two percent
Speaker 2: of the workforce, the US workforce, that's I think it
Speaker 2: was a quarter of the American workforce works from home
Speaker 2: at least some of the time. So we know that
Speaker 2: Kroger bringing you in person work back is going to help,
Speaker 2: you know, the local community and the businesses. But what
Speaker 2: is Kroger's reason. They come out and explicitly said the
Speaker 2: reason why they want their folks back in the office.
Speaker 3: They've said that with their stores and manufacturing plants and
Speaker 3: distribution centers opening and operating around the clock, they feel
Speaker 3: like in office, expectations have to be greater for them.
Speaker 3: They think that the workplace encourages collaboration and it helps
Speaker 3: Kroger manage their business better.
Speaker 1: Well, and flipping the script here for a second, we're
Speaker 1: talking to Dan Monk from the IT team from Channel
Speaker 1: nine while they're talking about having more people in the building,
Speaker 1: the office building downtown. What's with the delivery situation that
Speaker 1: got going on? Where they're going with AI? What exactly
Speaker 1: I was? You know, I heard their story and read
Speaker 1: the story, and I still don't think I get what's
Speaker 1: going on there.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, Kroger has been trying to figure out the
Speaker 3: best way to do home delivery since twenty eighteen, and
Speaker 3: what they started with was a fleet of robot powered warehouses.
Speaker 2: They have a big one in Monroe, the.
Speaker 3: Fifty five million dollar facility where computers run around on
Speaker 3: grids and they pick the groceries and they're put in
Speaker 3: those blue trucks and they ship them to places all
Speaker 3: over all over Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. So that hub
Speaker 3: has four different satellite facilities in the Independence, Kentucky, Louisville, Indianapolis,
Speaker 3: and Columbus. And that's how Kroger delivered groceries to those markets,
Speaker 3: you know, for the last eight years. And now they're
Speaker 3: changing that because that system is geared toward next day service.
Speaker 3: That's not fast enough for Americans now and they want
Speaker 3: the capability to do same day service and they really
Speaker 3: need it because Amazon has one of a thousand cities
Speaker 3: now where you can get same day delivery of grocery.
Speaker 3: So they got to keep up with their competitors. So
Speaker 3: they're changing things around, and they've closed several of their
Speaker 3: distribution facilities to save money and also to.
Speaker 4: Make sure that.
Speaker 3: The ones they have are operating, you know, at full capacity.
Speaker 3: And then at the same time, they've signed deals with instacart,
Speaker 3: door Dash, and Uber Eats to deliver groceries on a
Speaker 3: same day basis. And so what my story is about
Speaker 3: is the implications of that for customers. And one of
Speaker 3: the things they're doing with Instacart, for example, is Instacart
Speaker 3: has an artificial intelligence tool. They call it KRT Assistance,
Speaker 3: and it's basically a chatbot that helps you build your
Speaker 3: grocery list or build your grocery order based on your preferences.
Speaker 3: And so what they say is it's a tool for
Speaker 3: meal planning and budgeting and nutrition. You can ask it
Speaker 3: to find a recipe that's healthy and it'll give you
Speaker 3: the ingredients, and they say it'll save time. But what
Speaker 3: a lot of privacy activists claim is that AI is
Speaker 3: really a tool for what they call surveillance pricing, which
Speaker 3: is arguably a predatory form of pricing, where companies collect
Speaker 3: a lot of data about you, They create a profile
Speaker 3: about you, and the whole goal there is to determine
Speaker 3: how badly you need a product, how much you'll pay
Speaker 3: for it, and whether they can get a higher price
Speaker 3: from you.
Speaker 2: Right, And then what the thought being if they all
Speaker 2: of a sudden look at the data, or I should say,
Speaker 2: AI looks at the data and data and instantaneously says, boy,
Speaker 2: this section of Cincinnati, for whatever reason, is ordering a
Speaker 2: lot of bananas. We can up the price of bananas
Speaker 2: by three cents. Right, That's kind of what they I
Speaker 2: guess the fears are that is going to happen.
Speaker 3: That's the fear. Yeah, And you know, I don't think
Speaker 3: the evidence is in on either side of this. You know,
Speaker 3: what Kroger said to me this week was that the
Speaker 3: customers who choose Instacart, that you know, the fear is
Speaker 3: that you're putting an AI tool on the Kroger app,
Speaker 3: and what kind of data will it have access to?
Speaker 3: What's it going to do with that data. At the
Speaker 3: same time, Kroger and Instacart are selling access to their
Speaker 3: customers to advertisers, and so one of the what one
Speaker 3: of the people told me from one of the privacy
Speaker 3: groups was, how do you know whether Kroger is giving
Speaker 3: you the best deal or they're just giving you a
Speaker 3: deal that makes them the most money because they have
Speaker 3: advertisers paying for access to your customers. And now that
Speaker 3: you introduce Instacart to the to the equation, how do
Speaker 3: you know it's the Instacart app that's not making the
Speaker 3: money or Instacart made in the money. So you got
Speaker 3: conflicting you know, I guess wishes here. Kroger wants to
Speaker 3: make money, Instacart wants to make money. The consumer wants
Speaker 3: the lowest price. What Kroger ultimately told me was that
Speaker 3: customers who choose Instacart as their delivery provider through the
Speaker 3: Kroger app will pay the same price as in store customers,
Speaker 3: and they'll do it in a transparent way that creates
Speaker 3: value for consumers.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, fascinating stuff, Dan Monk, We always appreciated, buddy.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much. Yep, thanks gray stuff, Dan, thank you
Speaker 1: big stuff coming to Kroger. And you think about going
Speaker 1: back to what we were talking about with the office
Speaker 1: space being filled downtown. I think you see some of
Speaker 1: these old pictures and I say old pictures of Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: I'm talking you know, yeah, mid nineties when downtown was
Speaker 1: packed right during the day. You go downtown right now,
Speaker 1: there's there's no there in the afternoon, nothing, nothing going on. No,
Speaker 1: we'll see if that that helps. Well that we head
Speaker 1: to traffic and weather. What is going on.

Speaker 2: Playing was carrying oas Ready and his band crashed around
Speaker 2: three twenty eight pm into a lake Monoma near Madison.
Speaker 2: Reading was killed along with members of his band, The
Speaker 2: bar Jay's Jimmy King were on cardwell Faelan James, Carl Cunningham,
Speaker 2: trumpet player Ben Cauley. He was actually the only man
Speaker 2: to survive the crash. Yeah, it was right after that.
Speaker 2: That's sitting on the dock of the bacon right here,
Speaker 2: cranks up a little bit awesome. This was the first
Speaker 2: dance at my wedding. Oh is that right? This was
Speaker 2: our first dance name Kellen. I chose a band, a
Speaker 2: band with you, the great song this these arms of
Speaker 2: Mine sitting on the dock of the bay. A short
Speaker 2: amount of time.
Speaker 1: I was just going to say, these arms of mine?
Speaker 1: What Devin I danced too?
Speaker 2: For that's about that's a fact you and I had
Speaker 2: the ready first first dance. Yeah, here you go. There's
Speaker 2: a good part.
Speaker 1: See we go back to what I was talking about
Speaker 1: kids these days, trying to lecture my sons on music
Speaker 1: to listen to when you're trying to get.
Speaker 2: In the mood with your lady.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, guys, little Otis Redding, a little Algrenlo
Speaker 1: little yeah, some little Marvin Gaye. Yeah, you can't go wrong. Yes,
Speaker 1: And they're like, we don't know who that is dead?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Well find out find out you were
Speaker 1: my kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought I raised you better than that, right exactly.
Speaker 2: But yeah, on this day in history, nineteen six, I
Speaker 2: can't twenty six years old.
Speaker 1: Crazy, Well that's you think back on guys, like that
Speaker 1: that tunneled at twenty six. But also and not to
Speaker 1: lean on my Beatles thing too hard, But I will
Speaker 1: think about those guys. Lennon McCartney were like twenty five
Speaker 1: when they wrote some of the best pop songs of
Speaker 1: all time, when they were only like, you know, twenty
Speaker 1: years old. They wrote I want to hold your hands,
Speaker 1: she loves You. But you know, they're like twenty five
Speaker 1: twenty six writing I Am the Walrus and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: day in the Life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny, Like when I'm young, I'm thinking, Okay,
Speaker 2: these guys are like, you know, thirty five forty. They've
Speaker 2: been doing us for a long time. It's why they're
Speaker 2: so good. Well, they just had it.
Speaker 1: They broke up before they were thirty. That that in
Speaker 1: of itself is crazy.
Speaker 2: Now, Now when did they stop doing because they famously
Speaker 2: didn't perform live right after a certain time after sixty six.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they.
Speaker 2: After nineteen sixty six, they never performed a concert.
Speaker 1: Well, that rooftop thing, the Roofstop and that would be
Speaker 1: sixty nine, Winner of sixty nine, and that's about as
Speaker 1: far as they went. They released Let It Be came
Speaker 1: out in like early spring of seventy and that was that.
Speaker 1: But that album had been done before their last album,
Speaker 1: which was Abbey Road.
Speaker 2: Now do you realize that if the Beatles were around today,
Speaker 2: they couldn't survive, not torn. The only way you can
Speaker 2: make these days was by touring, because there's you know,
Speaker 2: you don't get paid nothing for the Spotify's and the
Speaker 2: wherever the hell you get music these days.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, those guys make nothing. Well that's the reason
Speaker 1: people are always saying, well, why are the Stones still
Speaker 1: touring and all these old guys still touring? Well, they
Speaker 1: don't make any money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: And also that's the reason these artists have all sold
Speaker 1: off their catalogs. You know, Neil Young whatever, somebody paid
Speaker 1: him hundreds of millions of dollars for his catalog and
Speaker 1: people were like, why did you do that?
Speaker 9: Now?
Speaker 1: Are you're going to hear it like in a Chevy ad.
Speaker 1: You're going to hear them playing rocking in the free world, goes,
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 2: You get to a certain age and you go, I
Speaker 2: don't care. I I've did this and I wanted to
Speaker 2: pay off for me what I can't take it with
Speaker 2: me to my death? What's what's the difference?
Speaker 1: Well, right, you're taking care of your kids, kids, kids, kids, kids, right,
Speaker 1: end of story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, I mean now music is being created
Speaker 2: by a I ercent AI music is out and it's good.
Speaker 2: There's something that's good.
Speaker 1: Well that when the number one country song a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks back when then AI song?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but there is pushback, which which leads me
Speaker 2: to my next story here, ed, Uh have you seen
Speaker 2: them McDonald's commercial that was one hundred percent AI created.
Speaker 2: I never saw it on TV, but I know I
Speaker 2: guess it was coming out.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I didn't see it. I was reading the
Speaker 1: same story you have there, but I didn't see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so they again they did this commerce So
Speaker 2: that was one hundred percent AI, and the blowback from
Speaker 2: it is fierce. You know, people are are pushing back.
Speaker 2: They're like, wait a minute, we want real people, we
Speaker 2: want like what is this? People just are pushing back
Speaker 2: on all this artificial intelligence that's coming. So, uh but
Speaker 2: I saw it. You wouldn't. You wouldn't know that it
Speaker 2: was Oh is that right? Yeah? Yeah, but it is.
Speaker 2: We're going to see that more and more.
Speaker 1: I told you it was. Shoot, it was probably a
Speaker 1: year or so ago that there was a thing that
Speaker 1: popped up on I want to say my Facebook whatever.
Speaker 1: It was promo for a friends reunion show. Well, it's
Speaker 1: probably it's been a couple of years ago because it
Speaker 1: was about when what's his name died, Matthew Barry died,
Speaker 1: and so they and they were getting they put together
Speaker 1: a reunion show that they were all going to go
Speaker 1: to his They were all getting together go to his funeral,
Speaker 1: and I saw I was like, I can't believe they're
Speaker 1: doing this. Wow, that's kind of strange and weird. But
Speaker 1: I guess they're just trying to salute their buddy. And
Speaker 1: I said something to one of my sons again they're going, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's AI. It's like fold me.
Speaker 2: Increasingly, more and more you see video and yet you
Speaker 2: don't know if it's real. You see a tweet, you
Speaker 2: see something, and it makes you question even when somebody
Speaker 2: we talked about this years ago, when something is real,
Speaker 2: you're going to go, I don't know that could be
Speaker 2: AI generated.
Speaker 1: Well, something serious is going to happen, and you know
Speaker 1: it is. Something serious is going to happen, and it's
Speaker 1: going to be one of those things where whatever a
Speaker 1: certain percentage of population is going to go I don't
Speaker 1: believe that's not real.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and people are going to know this is real
Speaker 2: and they're like, all right, sure that all the time.
Speaker 1: It's going to be more of the World's Part two
Speaker 1: from back in the thirties. Yeah, you know, people are
Speaker 1: gonna freak out because somebody's gonna put out there here,
Speaker 1: look at this. This Martian is walking down my street
Speaker 1: right now, and people are going to freak out.
Speaker 2: Would it change your opinion of a song if you
Speaker 2: knew it was AI another word? You heard a song
Speaker 2: like damn, that's really catch. That guy's got a great voice.
Speaker 2: Would you would inhibit your feeling of this song and
Speaker 2: whether you listen to it more or if you knew
Speaker 2: it was AI.
Speaker 1: No, not really see it would be See I'm pushing
Speaker 1: back on it, but I think I just don't know.
Speaker 2: Are we gonna get to a point where we don't
Speaker 2: know if a song is AI or real or is
Speaker 2: it gonna be kind of two separate categories like Okay,
Speaker 2: you know, here's music that's so created the old way,
Speaker 2: and we can appreciate that, but we can also appreciate
Speaker 2: this AI generated song that's just happens to be very catchy.
Speaker 1: I don't know, see, that's what I would like to
Speaker 1: think that I would push back on it, but I've
Speaker 1: finally given up the thought on it because it's kind
Speaker 1: of in my mind, it's kind of like types of food.
Speaker 1: You just kind of you just said it right there. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's good kinds of there's good kinds of country music.
Speaker 1: You're just cutting kind of opera that rock music, soul music,
Speaker 1: rap music. Okay, now there's gonna be good kinds of
Speaker 1: AI music. Does that make sense? Yeah, so you know
Speaker 1: it that falls into its own category as far as
Speaker 1: I'm concerned, Well, I hope it doesn't end up taking over.
Speaker 2: But can you truly appreciate the soulfulness of the song
Speaker 2: and the meaning for sure, knowing that it's not done
Speaker 2: by a person who had a real experience.
Speaker 1: Dude, you just played that Otis Redding song. There No
Speaker 1: computer can do that.
Speaker 2: I don't think so, But I think they can. That's
Speaker 2: what's scary. It's gonna try it can create a voice
Speaker 2: as good as his soulful, But again, knowing that that's
Speaker 2: a real person and the struggles and all that, I
Speaker 2: think it makes you appreciate the song. But if it
Speaker 2: was just completed on a on a computer or keyboard.
Speaker 2: Would you feel the same about that otis writing song
Speaker 2: that remains to be seen. I don't think I would,
Speaker 2: but you know, but then again, does like most things,
Speaker 2: over time, you just kind of say, well, I enjoy this, So.
Speaker 1: That's kind of That's what That's the way I'm looking
Speaker 1: at it. I think that we're all going to cave
Speaker 1: to it sooner or later as it well, because right now,
Speaker 1: the thought of AI actors and stuff like that, it's
Speaker 1: freaking everybody out. But hey, the next five years, you know,
Speaker 1: I'll go see an AI movie just if somebody tells
Speaker 1: me it's good.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how how I feel
Speaker 2: about it, but I know initially i'll push back. But
Speaker 2: does it get the point where you go, why why
Speaker 2: fight this? I'm I mean, you know it's enjoyable, so
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: Well, let's see what's going on with the real life
Speaker 1: traffic outside. I don't know if he's.
Speaker 2: Real or not.
Speaker 5: Hey, just remember I heard we're getingaranteed human We don't

Speaker 2: Really, I would have thought in the UK, they I
Speaker 2: know folks over there and they say it a lot too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they came in second then Australia. But I love
Speaker 1: this Australians. They found that Australians are the most creative
Speaker 1: in their use of them.
Speaker 2: They used it as adverbs and past participleism, all that. Well.
Speaker 1: The Brits used some words that if you use that
Speaker 1: in common conversation here people, we're gonna uh a woman
Speaker 1: especially smack them out of you. Yes, but how they
Speaker 1: accomplished this. The team examined over four point eight billion
Speaker 1: words posted by four hundred over four hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: five thousand X users from the United States, UK and
Speaker 1: Australia between six and twenty three. They blah blah blah
Speaker 1: focused on the F bomb the but it said most
Speaker 1: people thought the Australians were going to be the winners,
Speaker 1: but it said contrary to that. That's the reason they
Speaker 1: get the most creative because like you said, they're those
Speaker 1: people that stick it in the middle of a three
Speaker 1: syllable word. You know what I'm saying, I appreciate a
Speaker 1: good creative use of the F word. Correct the swear words.
Speaker 1: Smith's from down under blah where they get the creator
Speaker 1: the creative part use twenty one hundred and sixty spelling
Speaker 1: variants of the word, compared to nineteen hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: nine in the United twenty one hundred and sixty spelling
Speaker 1: variants on it.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: So you replace the C with a Q and all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff there along the way. And according
Speaker 1: to Blah Blah blah, drop f bombs and social media,
Speaker 1: it's swearing with the exceedingly rear in circles of fewer
Speaker 1: than fifteen people, no matter how much they know each other.
Speaker 1: So in other words, if it's just me and you talk,
Speaker 1: I'm more more likely to drop the F bomb. And
Speaker 1: that for a bunch of people around are going to
Speaker 1: be like, you know, mind your p's and q's.
Speaker 2: I try to stop cussing. I think it might be

Speaker 2: Yes, it is and ed. While the Bengals realistic hopes
Speaker 2: for the playoffs are all but gone. I mean there
Speaker 2: is a mathematical scenario if he involves some ties, and
Speaker 2: I think the you know, the Hayley's common has to
Speaker 2: come by at a certain time of the year. The
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens are still in it. They're number two in
Speaker 2: the AFC North and that's their path is the one.
Speaker 2: The division. Steelers are on top right now, and we
Speaker 2: always love Steelers excuse me, Ravens week because it allows
Speaker 2: us to talk to our good buddy Glenn Clark of
Speaker 2: the Glen Clark Radio Show. Glenn, how are you, brother Iraqi?
Speaker 16: What's going on?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 3: Eddie?
Speaker 16: I need to ask you because Rock was on with
Speaker 16: me this morning and like really made it seem like
Speaker 16: it is about the worst week in Cincinnati there's ever been.
Speaker 16: And I'm struggling with that because you know, the Bengals
Speaker 16: just pasted the race in two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: On the well, I think Rock might have been talking
Speaker 1: about the overall experience of like the last two weeks. Glenn, Right,
Speaker 1: Swarber is not a possibility now, but then what it
Speaker 1: was two weekends ago? All the basketball teams lost, the
Speaker 1: football teams all lost. Yeah, Now Schwarz is not coming
Speaker 1: to town. That's there'll be a blue Christmas run here, Glenn.
Speaker 16: Sudden, Suddenly in Baltimore things not that believe because we
Speaker 16: got Pete Alonzo, so all of a sudden, things aren't
Speaker 16: that bad here in Baltimore. We were disappointed about obviously,
Speaker 16: I get that it's different because he's from there. But
Speaker 16: we were bummed a best Schwarber too, but they made
Speaker 16: up for that besigning Pete alonzo O today, gotcha.
Speaker 2: So so Glenn, the way, what I'm reading here is
Speaker 2: for the Ravens, their path to the playoffs is the
Speaker 2: win the division whin the FC North, which has been
Speaker 2: pretty mediocre overall this year. So what they would have
Speaker 2: to new is they got to beat the Bengals. They
Speaker 2: got to beat the Steelers in Week eighteen, and then
Speaker 2: they got two other games that are not easy, got
Speaker 2: the Patriots and the Packers. I guess they got to
Speaker 2: split those and that would propel them to the top.
Speaker 2: Is that how you see it?
Speaker 16: Yeah, but they would still require the Steelers, like you
Speaker 16: can assume they would probably lose the Lions in there.
Speaker 16: But if the Steelers don't lose three games, the Ravens
Speaker 16: really do have to win out. So it might require
Speaker 16: the Steelers having to lose the Dolphins on Monday Night
Speaker 16: as well, which is you know, the Dolphins are red hot,
Speaker 16: right they won five of their last six. Maybe that's possible,
Speaker 16: but it is in Pittsburgh, so I wouldn't feel good
Speaker 16: about it, like it is venturing into the territory of
Speaker 16: the Ravens might well have to win out in order
Speaker 16: to get in, and like that is really perilous given
Speaker 16: the skin schedule that you're talking about. Like they look,
Speaker 16: if the Steelers go three and one, or the Steelers
Speaker 16: go two and two, they go three and one, they
Speaker 16: can make up the game. They get the Steelers and
Speaker 16: you're just playing with the tide breakers and they should
Speaker 16: have the common opponent's tide breakers, So like it's possible,
Speaker 16: but man, you're playing with fire different that And the
Speaker 16: problem is whether it's three and one or four and oh, Rack,
Speaker 16: there's just no reason to feel good about this team
Speaker 16: winning any of these games. Like the easiest win that
Speaker 16: was left on their schedule was at home against Pittsburgh
Speaker 16: and they lost that game. So I don't know how
Speaker 16: anybody feels good about anything that's ahead for this Ravens
Speaker 16: team at the moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's possible, but yes, it's not going to
Speaker 2: be easy. But Okay, then it comes down to are
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens a team that can make a run
Speaker 2: and win this thing out late in the season here,
Speaker 2: And to me, that all comes down to lamar Jack. Look,
Speaker 2: it always comes down to your team's best player. How
Speaker 2: are they performing late in the season, your best players?
Speaker 2: I should say I don't know, Glenn, Lamar Jackson a
Speaker 2: couple weeks ago that the Thanksgiving Night game against the Bengals,
Speaker 2: he just does not look himself. He hasn't looked him
Speaker 2: the dynamic, just ultimate threat that he's looked in the past. Glenn,
Speaker 2: is that a mirage or is that something that's going
Speaker 2: to get better? How do you see Lamar Jackson in
Speaker 2: his future? Here?
Speaker 16: It's funny what you're saying, Rock, because the question is
Speaker 16: the answer. The answer is the question right Like, yes,
Speaker 16: the Ravens still have a chance because they do have
Speaker 16: Lamar Jackson. And if suddenly on Sunday in Cincinnati Lamar
Speaker 16: Jackson looks like Lamar Jackson again, then they're gonna have
Speaker 16: a chance to win any game that they can play,
Speaker 16: because that's what their organization has been for the last
Speaker 16: few years they've been. They've been good teams, but they've
Speaker 16: been good teams wildly propped up by Lamar Jackson being
Speaker 16: either the best or one of the two or three
Speaker 16: best players in the entire league. To your point, he
Speaker 16: hasn't been anything close to that of late, and it's
Speaker 16: a complicated story. The offensive line is terrible. The guard
Speaker 16: position has been a massive problem for the Ravens this season.
Speaker 16: They haven't really experimented with trying anything else. I just
Speaker 16: continue to stick it out and they're not getting better results.
Speaker 16: Then you add to it the number of injuries. The
Speaker 16: hamstring injury that cost him three weeks, and then after
Speaker 16: he came back, he missed practices with designations to the knee,
Speaker 16: the toe, and the ankle, and then today he just
Speaker 16: didn't practice again, and the Ravens are just saying, well,
Speaker 16: this is just a rest day, and like, you sure, fine.
Speaker 16: I mean, he's dealt with a lot of injuries, but
Speaker 16: what you've seen on the field has looked like a
Speaker 16: team that's needed to have more days working together because
Speaker 16: it's just not working. So could it happen? I guess
Speaker 16: it could happen. But he's not been right rock Like,
Speaker 16: he's just been a shell of himself, frankly, And some
Speaker 16: of that might be him trying to adjust to I
Speaker 16: want to extend my career, I don't want to run
Speaker 16: more in general, but there have been times there have
Speaker 16: been large swaths of real estate in front of him
Speaker 16: on third down plays and he simply said, I'm not
Speaker 16: going to run, which makes you assume it's more related
Speaker 16: to all the injuries he dealt with this season, and
Speaker 16: he got stepped on again at practice last week. It
Speaker 16: is really difficult to figure it out. In the second
Speaker 16: half against the Steelers, there were moments where he looked
Speaker 16: like himself again. If maybe he's coming around, then who knows.
Speaker 16: But they're out of time for it to happen.
Speaker 1: Glenn, I was going to ask you that the very
Speaker 1: question is in a matter of him not him not
Speaker 1: being able to do it or not wanting to do it.
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's a great question, and he's been asked the
Speaker 16: question a number of times, and he's sort of dodgy
Speaker 16: whenever anyone asks them about the injuries, like he says, well,
Speaker 16: I'm out there, so I'm good, right, Like he just
Speaker 16: doesn't And then John Harbaugh's dodgy when asked about it.
Speaker 16: And a year ago we started to see Lamar try
Speaker 16: to run a little bit less, and then now he's
Speaker 16: ad historic numbers this year. This is by far the
Speaker 16: least he's ever run per game. But here ago we
Speaker 16: started to see it, and then there was a famous
Speaker 16: moment where he kind of laughed and said, yeah, my
Speaker 16: mom was cussing me out because I'm not running enough.
Speaker 16: And we could tell that there was a purposeful change
Speaker 16: that he wanted to hang in the pocket more and
Speaker 16: let plays develop. And I get it, like he doesn't.
Speaker 16: He wants his career to last until he's forty. And
Speaker 16: I understand all of those things. But this season has
Speaker 16: not been.
Speaker 2: The year for that.
Speaker 16: Like they they don't have the offensive line for him
Speaker 16: to hold up and it's just not working, and the
Speaker 16: fact that he's still unwilling to do it. I keep
Speaker 16: leaning back to it. It's got to be the totality
Speaker 16: of the injury.
Speaker 2: It's such a hard thing, Glenn, when you talk about
Speaker 2: a quarterback, and especially a guy who's a dual threat
Speaker 2: or a runner like or not adul threat like Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2: It's so hard to say, boy, he's got a change
Speaker 2: and has evolved, he's got to run less, because it's
Speaker 2: like you kind of are what you are, and you
Speaker 2: got to you on one hand, you got to play to
Speaker 2: your strengths. We can talk about Joe Flaccough and how
Speaker 2: he does such a good job of getting rid of
Speaker 2: the ball and not taking sacks and throwing the ball
Speaker 2: in the dirtble. Joe Flacco's never been able to run
Speaker 2: and if he if he could, he would have, right,
Speaker 2: So you kind of in a way you want to,
Speaker 2: you know, extend your career. But on the other hand,
Speaker 2: if you want to be the best, you got to
Speaker 2: do what got you there, right, And you know this
Speaker 2: really well.
Speaker 16: I'll give you an example on Sunday against the Steelers.
Speaker 16: In the first half, the Steelers thought Lamar was such
Speaker 16: a non threat to run that in a short yarded situation,
Speaker 16: they ran at a run play to Derrick Henry and TJ.
Speaker 16: Watt didn't even bother looking at Lamar and he got
Speaker 16: Derrick Henry for a four yard loss in the backfield.
Speaker 16: And you would never see that in a world where
Speaker 16: on film they're running our pos Lamar's taking off. You
Speaker 16: have to be honest, you have to stay in the lane,
Speaker 16: and that presents him the opportunity to make the one
Speaker 16: on one play. And so I'm really interested in like
Speaker 16: they have to be seeing the same things on film.
Speaker 16: And they, by the way, they did start running some
Speaker 16: RPOs in the second half and it worked. They actually
Speaker 16: scored a touchdown to play the one that counted to
Speaker 16: Isaiah Likely when like the three defenders all think that
Speaker 16: Lamar is going to keep the ball because they had
Speaker 16: seen a couple of RPOs run on the same drive
Speaker 16: and then they left Isaiah Likely wide open in the
Speaker 16: end zone. But this argument has existed for forever that
Speaker 16: Lamar was going to have to run less. And as
Speaker 16: I've said a million times the injury argument, quarterbacks get
Speaker 16: hurt in the pocket statistically more than they get hurt
Speaker 16: wield and Lamar Jackson in particular, you know, I was
Speaker 16: so fast that he never took big hits downfield, like
Speaker 16: all of the big hits he took were in the
Speaker 16: pocket because he knew when the hits were coming and
Speaker 16: he avoided them. He got down or he got out
Speaker 16: of bounds. So this hasn't a really complicated topic that
Speaker 16: he just doesn't give clear answers about. And that makes
Speaker 16: it frustrating because when he's full Lamar Jackson, he is
Speaker 16: one of one. He is the most unique talent we.
Speaker 2: May have seen in the NFL.
Speaker 16: When he's Lamar Jackson doesn't run, he's still an incredibly
Speaker 16: capable thrower of the football. He's one of the more
Speaker 16: precise throwers of the football in the league the last
Speaker 16: couple of years. But he's not one of one. He's
Speaker 16: a good football player. That guy is one of the
Speaker 16: best that we've ever seen.
Speaker 2: Correct, Glenn Clark's join us. Make sure you check him
Speaker 2: out on Twitter at Glenn Clark Radio and Glenn Last question,
Speaker 2: I did not watch the Ravens Steelers game last week.
Speaker 2: Let's take Lamar Jackson and his health and his play
Speaker 2: out of it. What is the biggest strength of this
Speaker 2: Ravens team as you see it right now, and what's
Speaker 2: their biggest vulnerability?
Speaker 16: Wait, I'm struggling to figure out what their strength is. Talent. Yeah,
Speaker 16: there's not a lot that they do terribly well. I mean,
Speaker 16: their defensive started laying better. It had been woeful for
Speaker 16: the first few weeks the season, had started playing better
Speaker 16: for five weeks, and then the Bengals game happened and
Speaker 16: Joe Burrow did whatever he wanted to do in the
Speaker 16: second half, and they haven't recorded a sack in the
Speaker 16: last couple of weeks. After things had been a lot
Speaker 16: better with Raymond Jones. I still think their secondary is
Speaker 16: pretty good, but your secondary can only be so good
Speaker 16: if there's no pressure, Like, if you're letting Joe Burrow
Speaker 16: have an eternity, he's gonna pick you apart.
Speaker 4: And he's Joe Burrow.
Speaker 16: He's one of the best players in the NFL. So
Speaker 16: I don't know short of you know, when Lamar Jackson
Speaker 16: looks like Lamar Jackson again, then this team looks good.
Speaker 16: Keaton mitchellill give you. I'll give you one name if
Speaker 16: Keaton Mitchell plays, and he'd practiced today, so I think
Speaker 16: there's a good chance. Keaton Mitchell was an undrafted running
Speaker 16: back out of East Carolina. His father was a rave
Speaker 16: and won a Super Bowl here. He's a great story,
Speaker 16: but he has really provided them because they have not
Speaker 16: been able to run between the tackles with Derek Henry
Speaker 16: the way they did last year. That's how bad the
Speaker 16: guard play is. He gets to the edge and he
Speaker 16: makes plays. He it's a burst. So that's one thing
Speaker 16: that's been a really pleasant story line for the Ravens.
Speaker 16: He was inactive earlier, but he's made a huge difference.
Speaker 16: That's one thing to keep an eye on.
Speaker 1: All right, With that, Glenn, we will let you go, buddy,
Speaker 1: Thanks so much.
Speaker 16: Always a pleasure, Eddie Rocky, Happy holidays, appreciate you guys,
Speaker 16: and the same to.
Speaker 2: You, sir, Well you're the man, buddy, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: Glenn Clark. We'll see. But yeah, like you said, a
Speaker 1: lot of faith in him right now, Jackson. Why I
Speaker 1: love what he said there when when Jackson's Jackson, he's
Speaker 1: he is one of one.
Speaker 2: He's good and he does make a good point because
Speaker 2: I've always felt the same way, and the numbers show
Speaker 2: it a lot of times. You know, the most of
Speaker 2: the injuries of a quarterback happened in the pocket, taking
Speaker 2: the blind side hit and you know and all that,
Speaker 2: and Lamar Jackson, you rarely see him take a big shot,
Speaker 2: unlike you know, Jackson Dart who took off and ran
Speaker 2: down and shid he took from the bail. My god,
Speaker 2: he's running down the sideline, just gets absolutely just I mean,
Speaker 2: just hit stick out of bounds, as if he didn't
Speaker 2: know that the linebackers are actually going to hit him.
Speaker 2: But mar Jackson need he don't take those hits. He
Speaker 2: gets down. He knows how to do it, so I
Speaker 2: don't know they need him to just cut of loose
Speaker 2: and let it rip, hopefully for the Bengals sake.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's so concerned about Yeah, yeah, with that, we

Speaker 1: Mitt Back with Eddie and Rocky Here on Wednesday, there
Speaker 1: means coming up at five o'clock we will be talking
Speaker 1: to Willy.
Speaker 2: And these days, what are the two most popular numbers? Oh?
Speaker 2: What is it? The sixty six seven? Six seven? And
Speaker 2: this is one of those things if if someone was
Speaker 2: for another planet and you tried to explain why everyone,
Speaker 2: young people especially literally lose their mind when six seven,
Speaker 2: sixty seven or those numbers come up, you would it
Speaker 2: would be impossible to explain exactly what it is. And
Speaker 2: of course, so if you go back in the history
Speaker 2: of it, there was like a like a song by
Speaker 2: Scrilla that had that in it, and then it became
Speaker 2: you know, then there was a tribute. There's like a
Speaker 2: Cincinnati guy was involved in it somehow, because we're always
Speaker 2: the center of the universe here in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Six to seven is like a basketball player that was
Speaker 1: in the song.
Speaker 2: And yeah, the old balls six seven, and then something
Speaker 2: like like was it right an six seven? Anyway, But
Speaker 2: it's like jen alpha, which I guess is the new
Speaker 2: term for like the young young people just just absolutely
Speaker 2: lose their minds. And if you've seen online, if you're
Speaker 2: at a store or someplace and sixty seven gets mentioned,
Speaker 2: or a score of a game is six to seven,
Speaker 2: lose their minds. Sure well, the ones I've seen these
Speaker 2: viral videos of In and Out Burger were like literally
Speaker 2: like mobs and mobs of kids all arm was selling phones.
Speaker 2: Sit in an In and Out Burger and wait for
Speaker 2: you know, order number sixty one, order number sixty two,
Speaker 2: and then when order sixty seven comes up, just completely
Speaker 2: lose it like it's the greatest thing in the world,
Speaker 2: like they just found a million dollars. Right. So In
Speaker 2: and Out has removed sixty seven from their ordering system.
Speaker 2: In and Out one of the many fast food restaurants
Speaker 2: that harness system that links a customer's order with a
Speaker 2: certain number, you know, between one and ninety nine. In September,
Speaker 2: a customer filmed the exuberant scene that unfolded inside the
Speaker 2: burger changed locations when an employee caught out sixty seven,
Speaker 2: just as I described. According to people, multiple In and
Speaker 2: Out employees recently noticed the ordering system has jumped from
Speaker 2: sixty six to sixty eight, with one worker at a
Speaker 2: restaurant in La telling the outlet sixty seven suddenly disappeared
Speaker 2: around a month ago, and they also said that the
Speaker 2: number sixty nine has also disappeared. Now see now that
Speaker 2: was the number that we all thought was funny when
Speaker 2: I was young.
Speaker 1: For sure, absolutely since whatever happened to sixty nine, yeah,
Speaker 1: that made more sense and that was that was good humor.
Speaker 2: But sixty whatever. Uh, there's no telling of the change
Speaker 2: will be a permanent one. Uh. There's some evidence that
Speaker 2: suggests the trend, you know, it might have kind of
Speaker 2: flamed out a little bit, but still well so, very
Speaker 2: much alive in many parts of the country.
Speaker 1: As with anything like this, when adults start noticing it's happening,
Speaker 1: the kids lose interest.
Speaker 2: Right because then when the adults start it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: sixty seven, they're like, it's lame now, so we gotta
Speaker 2: exactly yeah, And I mean my five year old, we'll
Speaker 2: run around the house going six seven, six seven and
Speaker 2: again sold like a football game, and it was seven
Speaker 2: to six. He goes six seven, like what is going on?
Speaker 2: And then they all the other two just pi along
Speaker 2: because they think it's hilarious, and I don't.
Speaker 1: Know, well, see that's your kids are just now getting
Speaker 1: to that age. Yeah, my boys are they're they're they're
Speaker 1: twenties now, and I'll tell something that I think is
Speaker 1: cool and they give you the look of h well,
Speaker 1: it's like I toold earlier. We were talking about soul music.
Speaker 1: When I said, hey, man, listen, listen, notice ready, listen
Speaker 1: to Marvin Gaye that kind of stuff. They're like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I got.
Speaker 2: A pin in it there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, uh rock And speaking of the youngsters, this
Speaker 1: happened in northern China and unidentified twenty three year old
Speaker 1: man there one contest. It was at a shopping mall.
Speaker 1: What kind of contest did he win? Funny you should ask.
Speaker 1: He was the winner in the lying flat on a
Speaker 1: mattress contest? How long get it to me? The contest
Speaker 1: at the mall started. This was happened a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks back. Started with about two hundred and forty people
Speaker 1: lying flat on mattresses. One hundred and eighty six of
Speaker 1: them had quit within twenty four hours. After thirty three
Speaker 1: hours and nine minutes, just three contestants were left. And
Speaker 1: that's when the organizers up the competition by making the
Speaker 1: contestants raise their arms and legs so This is like
Speaker 1: one of those old dance marathons you see from like
Speaker 1: the nineteen twenties or something, where people were dancing until
Speaker 1: they passed out and stopped.
Speaker 2: Are those contests were you could kiss the longest time?
Speaker 2: And all that?

Speaker 2: You have m head coach Sharan Moore has been terminated
Speaker 2: with cause effective immediately following a university investigation. Credible evidence
Speaker 2: was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship
Speaker 2: with the staff membre d. It's undefeated, untied, unscored upon
Speaker 2: throughout human history, man has crippled and tumbled the mightiest
Speaker 2: of men.
Speaker 1: I tell you it's of course, it's tempting, and of
Speaker 1: course it's easy when you're around somebody like that every
Speaker 1: single day.
Speaker 2: But just can't do it. And I guess these these coaches,
Speaker 2: you know, they they it is a hard, stressful thing,
Speaker 2: and I guess you know, maybe you just need a
Speaker 2: five minute just escape. Not justifying it, but I'm saying
Speaker 2: that's what I think happens. I'm sure you know, getting
Speaker 2: four hours of sleep every night you and then you're like,
Speaker 2: God needs something to kind of distract me.
Speaker 1: Stress relief, stress relief. Yeah, that's all it is. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's what happened with Belichick. He's been frustrated all these years,
Speaker 1: so finally he snapped after he got out of coaching
Speaker 1: and just took up with a twenty three y old girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Austin is reporting that Brian Kelly is being considered
Speaker 2: as I'm just kidding. I made that up, but he would.
Speaker 2: He said that in the hallway, and I was like,
Speaker 2: that would be fantastic. I should go after Scott Saderfield. Guys, uh,
Speaker 2: I said Tom Brady gave him to go back and coach.
Speaker 2: He wouldn't do it in a million years member making
Speaker 2: ten million a game calling games.
Speaker 1: Right, jeez, And look, well that's a topic for another day.
Speaker 1: But play by play guys who kind of have flamed out,
Speaker 1: And I don't know that that never seemed like a
Speaker 1: good I did in me rock Tom Brady, don't play
Speaker 1: by play or analysts.
Speaker 2: Analysts. Yeah, I think he's okay. I don't think he's phenomenal,
Speaker 2: But he's no boyman. He's no appointment, No, of course not.
Speaker 2: But but Uh, yeah, he's getting paid lot of money.
Speaker 2: I just never I did the math. I'm like, how
Speaker 2: they I mean, what they're making per game must be
Speaker 2: just absolutely extraordinary to give him a you know, million
Speaker 2: dollar contract.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm going to ask you. I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: you know a lot more about that kind of stuff
Speaker 1: than than your average bear. But when that number came out,
Speaker 1: it was like, how you are you guys making way
Speaker 1: more money on games that not aware of It's insane.
Speaker 2: I know what I make a game, and it ain't that.
Speaker 2: Yeah it was ten years, Yeah, I was, you know

Speaker 1: rock around about this time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and ed you know what, I thought it was
Speaker 2: time for Notre Dame to get out of the news
Speaker 2: right now, notarding was having a little bit of a
Speaker 2: rough forty eight hours to and their decision to not
Speaker 2: play in a bowl game and some comments made by
Speaker 2: the ad Well, I think we've found the way to
Speaker 2: get Notre Dame out of the headlines when it comes
Speaker 2: to sports.
Speaker 1: Not so fast, as we talked to this fella right
Speaker 1: here being brought to you by the fine folks at
Speaker 1: Joseph Automotive, Willie your thoughts.
Speaker 4: Yes, well, you know, I'm kind of looking at the
Speaker 4: amount of money he paid for this indiscretion. It says
Speaker 4: here that Sharon Moore signed a five year, thirty million
Speaker 4: dollar contracts in September of twenty four and there were
Speaker 4: bonuses involved, so you know, it was about five or
Speaker 4: six million dollars a year and then if he had
Speaker 4: another successful year, the top rocket would know better. But
Speaker 4: I think the top football coaches in college make ten
Speaker 4: to twelve million, yep. And so he was. He was
Speaker 4: thrown away. I don't know, fifty million dollars. Do we
Speaker 4: better have enjoyed his moments at the Hull day end
Speaker 4: with the staff or I guess she's the name too,
Speaker 4: but I'm reluctant to use her name until we have
Speaker 4: some sort of confirmation. But if he gets fired, why
Speaker 4: doesn't she get fired?
Speaker 16: Eddie?
Speaker 4: What did she do? Allegedly she's still employed by University
Speaker 4: of Michigan. That is Tom weedman all angry about this thing.
Speaker 4: But shouldn't a woman also be fired? I mean she's
Speaker 4: some child and capable of saying no and capable of
Speaker 4: guarded guarding her own sexual predilections. How come the man
Speaker 4: gets it all and a woman gets nothing. That's what
Speaker 4: I want to know.
Speaker 2: Sexual pre election, that's that's a great word said. I
Speaker 2: imagine eventually she she.
Speaker 1: Will say, they're at least going to put up the
Speaker 1: smoke screen of she is going to be she's on
Speaker 1: whatever administrative leave.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And if you're just doing and we're talking about
Speaker 2: Michigan just like with you. The news broken last fifth
Speaker 2: teen minutes. UM head coach Saran Moore has been terminated
Speaker 2: with calls effective immediately. Following a university investigation. Credible evidence
Speaker 2: was found that coach More engaged in an inappropriate relationship
Speaker 2: with a staff member, violates her constitution, clear violation of
Speaker 2: the policy, blah blah blah blah blah. So that is
Speaker 2: that is the that's the story.
Speaker 4: And we also have Michigan sources believe the affair resulted
Speaker 4: in a pregnancy, which is ultimately terminated through an abortion
Speaker 4: paid for by more So. In addition to dipping his
Speaker 4: pen in the company, inc. He also paid to have
Speaker 4: his own baby killed. And so that's I guess that's
Speaker 4: irrelevant in today's world, but to me, that's important. The woman's
Speaker 4: first name is Paige. I won't give her last name.
Speaker 4: Executive assistant to the coach, to the head coach. She
Speaker 4: was assisting the head coach, Sharon Moore and losing the
Speaker 4: Ohio state by like twenty five points.
Speaker 2: No, that's a big deal.
Speaker 1: And her backstory is is she married as well?
Speaker 2: It's there's stuff on the internet, but I'm reluctant.
Speaker 4: To We only deal with facts. We did. We never.
Speaker 2: We don't, you know, we don't take a story and
Speaker 2: just start elaborating without confirmed sources. But look, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: it's undefeated, untied on, scored upon, Willie correct.
Speaker 4: Gravitate, gravity, I mean gravity, uh, you know, I mean nothing,
Speaker 4: the size of the sun. We're talking about empires, We're
Speaker 4: talking about presidents. We're talking about some lowly football coach
Speaker 4: at Michigan could not keep his pen out of the
Speaker 4: company inc. And And one of those things in Michigan
Speaker 4: are a bunch of liberals there. They they think, you know,
Speaker 4: you can't do that, but you know, killing the baby
Speaker 4: is that's almost an article of faith among liberals.
Speaker 2: You know, got to kill your baby.
Speaker 4: But I guess that don't make much difference.
Speaker 2: He may get bonus points from that crowd for doing that.
Speaker 2: You never know, you never know, well, well, they.
Speaker 4: Maybe didn't want to live anyway, I didn't want to.
Speaker 1: We were also speculating that perhaps the everyday stress of
Speaker 1: a situation like these coaches are in might have led
Speaker 1: to this indiscretion. And uh, that's what Rock and I
Speaker 1: I was speculating that perhaps that's what happened with Bell Belichick,
Speaker 1: that after years foregoing this kind of temptation, he finally
Speaker 1: snapped when the twenty four year old girl gives you
Speaker 1: that wink, you know, game on.
Speaker 2: Game on.
Speaker 4: For the Belichick weighs about two hundred pounds. I'm sure
Speaker 4: he's an attractive male to a female fifty years or junior.
Speaker 4: And I'm sure it's love. Has nothing to do with
Speaker 4: her getting the eight million dollars in a condo given
Speaker 4: to her by Bill Belichick. I can imagine the Thanksgiving
Speaker 4: dinner wasn't roundly celebrated to the Belichick household because Bill's
Speaker 4: daughter in law is firing on Bill Belichick with all cylinders.
Speaker 4: And now there's rumors I'll send the rock later tonight,
Speaker 4: more rumors about Jordan Hudson and what our future plans are.
Speaker 4: They want to get married by the year's end for
Speaker 4: tax reasons. So I'm thinking, well, you know you can
Speaker 4: by December thirty.
Speaker 2: First I quit.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm just saying that, you know, married couples have
Speaker 4: more tax benefits than stingleing. She's thinking, we get married
Speaker 4: in the next two three weeks, we have tax benefits,
Speaker 4: and so the here Sharon gave up thirty to fifty
Speaker 4: million dollars. He'll be radioactive. He wasn't that good anyway.
Speaker 4: I don't think he did beat Ohio State last year,
Speaker 4: but this year he got lit up pretty good. And
Speaker 4: I don't know. You take Bill Belichick and Sharon throwing
Speaker 4: Notre Dame. Of course, Rocky wants to forget.
Speaker 2: About Notre Dame.
Speaker 4: He's two biggest first their bridges. Notre Dame thinks they're
Speaker 4: better than college football, and all these other ads are
Speaker 4: launching on Notre Dame AD right now for acting a zip.
Speaker 4: Who who the hell are you to tell us how
Speaker 4: to run the acc See, Notre Dame thinks they're bigger
Speaker 4: than the sport, much like saaks think they're bigger than
Speaker 4: the GCL, and someone needs to put them in their place.
Speaker 2: They're just smarter and not and they're not going to
Speaker 2: be pressured into doing something that is not advantageous for
Speaker 2: their university or its football team. There how to work
Speaker 2: out this year? Rock Well, I mean, you know, Alabama
Speaker 2: got in over one day one shouldn't have happened at all.
Speaker 1: I mean, so let me let me ask you something, Rock.
Speaker 11: Do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the kind of the story behind the
Speaker 1: story is this was this a group decision, a team decision?
Speaker 1: Did the AD decide this was going to happen? Did
Speaker 1: it come from the top down?
Speaker 2: Apparently the players were like, we're not interested in playing
Speaker 2: this thing. And I think the coach looks at it
Speaker 2: and says, ten to twelve or more of our best
Speaker 2: players are going to opt out of this thing, okay,
Speaker 2: because they're going to go in the higher rounds. Of
Speaker 2: the draft or maybe some of them might you know,
Speaker 2: transfer out something like that, so it's not gonna be
Speaker 2: our true team. Brought this up earlier a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago. Florida State they had a I think it
Speaker 2: was a thirteen to o season, but their quarterback got hurt.
Speaker 2: They didn't get into the college football playoff at the time,
Speaker 2: and that was Forguret. How many was that eight? When
Speaker 2: it was at eight? Then anyway, they didn't get in.
Speaker 2: So in the bowl game, all of their players, like
Speaker 2: all of them opted out and they wound up playing Georgia. Right, oh,
Speaker 2: we're gonna go play Georgia, and they got it. It
Speaker 2: was like sixty three to nothing. It was something, and
Speaker 2: you could point to that that game, in that moment
Speaker 2: as the time that started the whole precipitous fall of
Speaker 2: Florida States. That's lasted two years. They finished two and
Speaker 2: something two years ago, five and seven this year. So
Speaker 2: in their names like, why are we gonna do it?
Speaker 2: We can't put our best foot forward. You know, we're
Speaker 2: already pissed about it, and we want to you know,
Speaker 2: on the way out, we want to say a little bit,
Speaker 2: you know. Cau Then we said a little precedent here
Speaker 2: for the future. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, the other thing you're you're ignoring. The other big
Speaker 4: story is Carrie Combs could become the head football coach
Speaker 4: at Michigan. He was just hired by Sharone. Carry Combs
Speaker 4: is now right there. All the good coaches are gone,
Speaker 4: there's no one else to hire, and there's six Carry
Speaker 4: Combs with Cole Raine. He went to Nashville, you see
Speaker 4: Ohio State. Why not Carry Combs the next head football
Speaker 4: coach at Michigan.
Speaker 2: And he's got to go as the interim at this point,
Speaker 2: isn't he Now? The fact that he's been there, like,
Speaker 2: you know, six days might not help the case. But uh,
Speaker 2: he has experience. He's been an interim coach before, you see, right.
Speaker 4: And and he's you know, I mean, he's been the
Speaker 4: interim coaching and he's a great guy. And can you
Speaker 4: imagine him taking over Michigan. He won't act up, he
Speaker 4: won't put.
Speaker 2: His power and that's it. Yes, he's too old for that.
Speaker 4: He's in his sixties.
Speaker 2: I say, I said, Carry Combs for Michigan head coach?
Speaker 2: Are they ball?
Speaker 1: I haven't underd I haven't seen that part. I haven't
Speaker 1: remember well, they got.
Speaker 4: To be then Tohito Friedo ball.
Speaker 2: You guys are kind of making my point right now,
Speaker 2: why Notre Dame didn't play like we're talking about Michigan
Speaker 2: and no one can understand or knows what ball they're in.
Speaker 2: They're in a Citrus Bowl, by the way, and.
Speaker 4: Well and also, oh no Cinsrus. I think within three
Speaker 4: years there'll be no bowl games. They're going to expand
Speaker 4: get it from twelve to like and maybe sixteen teams
Speaker 4: and there'll be eight to eight four two and one.
Speaker 4: That's they'll be. They'll be fifteen bowl games. They eight
Speaker 4: four two and'll be fifteen bowl games, go to sixteen
Speaker 4: and the bowl games don't matter if you get in
Speaker 4: those games to play for the national title. The good
Speaker 4: players that want to play to enhance their value otherwise
Speaker 4: should get rid of Navy playing in the Liberty Bowl
Speaker 4: against UC When Satafield have trouble fielding a team, he's
Speaker 4: got six or seven players, I think he's going to
Speaker 4: go to the NFL. So the Bearcats aren't going to
Speaker 4: have a team to play against Navy. I'm picking the
Speaker 4: maybe to beat the bear Cats, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: And I'm picking carry combs carry Combs to be the
Speaker 4: new head coach of Michigan Wolverine. How about those predictions?
Speaker 2: Love it? I bet well? Well?
Speaker 1: I also I heard when you went uh and the
Speaker 1: Stooge when you were talking to to Rock and Seg
Speaker 1: and you were trying to list some of the some
Speaker 1: of the bowl games you one that just skipped over
Speaker 1: was the Snoop Dog Bowl down in there. And there
Speaker 1: is such a thing.
Speaker 2: I don't was that.
Speaker 1: Has that been going a while and.
Speaker 2: This is the second year for it? Okay? Yes?
Speaker 4: Is it sponsible by marijuana growers? Well? What is the
Speaker 4: Snoop Dogg? What is the Snoop Dog Bowl? What is that?
Speaker 2: I have no Miami the Red Hawks are playing it
Speaker 2: is that? What the Yeah? That's where I came from. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: they're doing without their I just saw the their best player,
Speaker 2: the defensive end, Adam Trick, has entered a transfer portal.
Speaker 2: So again they're gonna go to a what is now
Speaker 2: you know, a good bowl? Believe it or not. The
Speaker 2: Snoop Dogg Bowl was a good bowl all things considering.
Speaker 2: And now they're going without one of their best players.
Speaker 4: That's nuch. You got to smoke pot to watch the game.
Speaker 4: I mean, I I think college football is more screwed
Speaker 4: up by the time in another two or three years.
Speaker 4: Why would Ohio State High State not spend one hundred
Speaker 4: million dollars what they spend this year rock about forty?
Speaker 2: Wait?
Speaker 4: What state football?
Speaker 2: Oh, I think that much? I know it was twenty
Speaker 2: two last year when they won it all. I think
Speaker 2: it was certainly upwards that this year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, at some point, what At some point you say,
Speaker 4: why are we doing this? I mean, Xavier is spending
Speaker 4: six million, they want to spend ten million. I'm being
Speaker 4: solictited to donate money to Xavier. They want to get
Speaker 4: to ten million dollars. I'm making ten million dollars. A
Speaker 4: guy named Carol who's twenty two to twenty three years old,
Speaker 4: comes here for one year making about one million dollars.
Speaker 4: Now he's gonna he has thirty points of as you see,
Speaker 4: he's dominated. He's wonderful. Next year somebody else comes in. Well,
Speaker 4: where's the glory of giving money and watching someone develop
Speaker 4: over two to four years, like a Romain Sado who
Speaker 4: started off almost not playing. By the time he was
Speaker 4: a senior, he was an All American. To watch that
Speaker 4: development and why do schools play that game. I think
Speaker 4: it's gonna be hard to get the money.
Speaker 2: I think if we enter a time period which looks
Speaker 2: like it is coming where year after year it's going
Speaker 2: to take upwards of call it, thirty forty million dollars
Speaker 2: to put a roster together, and then you're paying a
Speaker 2: coach like Kirby Smart makes thirteen million a year and
Speaker 2: then his staff makes another harmon. At what point? I
Speaker 2: always say this, At what point, even if you win,
Speaker 2: you do all that and you win the national title,
Speaker 2: what point do you still end up in the red Well?
Speaker 2: You are losing massive amounts of money to your athletic department,
Speaker 2: your school and everything because of all the the upfront
Speaker 2: costs you got to pay to do what it takes
Speaker 2: to have a roster that can win it. At what
Speaker 2: point is it do you just say, you know what,
Speaker 2: maybe it's better being no, you know, the tenth ranked
Speaker 2: team in the country, and you know, we're making money
Speaker 2: and kids are coming to school and kids people are
Speaker 2: enjoying the games, and it's great.
Speaker 4: What is the cost to attend? What is the cost
Speaker 4: to attend like a Notre Dame football game in South Bettle,
Speaker 4: I would think a season ticket for six or seven
Speaker 4: games might be five or six thousand dollars to watch
Speaker 4: kids play football. To go to a baseball game in
Speaker 4: Cincinnati's going to be two to three hundred FC. The
Speaker 4: good tickets are three hundred dollars each. And at Bengals game,
Speaker 4: I think are three to four hundred dollars a game
Speaker 4: to go.
Speaker 2: Oh by the time, I mean it's eighty bucks cash
Speaker 2: to park, right, and then you got the hot dogs
Speaker 2: and the hamburgers, and the kids want some you know,
Speaker 2: frosty malls. They don't have those anymore.
Speaker 1: But but the great thing is you know where you
Speaker 1: can get the games for free, right here on seven
Speaker 1: hundred WL Company. Look at you, damn a right son

Speaker 2: More than a few of our patients have talked to
Speaker 2: me about their first time, but it's not the first time.
Speaker 1: You're all right back with Eddie and Rocky a little
Speaker 1: while longer. But rock this is a story that I've
Speaker 1: been hearing about this and I was wondering exactly what
Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about.
Speaker 2: Well, when you were gone, we had someone on talk
Speaker 2: a little bit because it was just in the kind
Speaker 2: of introductory phase of what was going on in Australia,
Speaker 2: getting ready to ban kids from social media, and I
Speaker 2: guess it's it's gone through here and Alex Stone is
Speaker 2: for MAYBC here to describe more about it than well,
Speaker 2: I guess first, Alex, I think there's a lot of
Speaker 2: people in America that are interested to see how this
Speaker 2: works out.
Speaker 18: Yeah, very much so. Yeah, beginning today in Australia became
Speaker 18: a law that the children under sixteen years old cannot
Speaker 18: access social media platforms and there are big fines for
Speaker 18: the social media companies if they allow kids to get
Speaker 18: into their platforms like TikTok and Instagram and even YouTube.
Speaker 18: And because it's already tomorrow morning in Australia, we know
Speaker 18: how today and Australia went and a lot of kids
Speaker 18: said that they could get around this new law but
Speaker 18: just changing their birth date on the apps to make
Speaker 18: it so they were over eighteen or over sixteen in
Speaker 18: Australia's case. So doesn't seem like this is fool proof
Speaker 18: yet that I have. All they've got to do is
Speaker 18: go on and say well I was born this year
Speaker 18: in Boom. All of a sudden they have access into
Speaker 18: the apps. But not surprisingly Australian kids, they don't like
Speaker 18: this new band and here's what they're saying.
Speaker 19: We will be completely silenced and cut off from our country.
Speaker 18: And they're still but there are a lot of American
Speaker 18: adults and doctors and social media safety groups who think
Speaker 18: American kids should be kept away from social media as well.
Speaker 18: This is Sarah Gardner, the CEO of the Child safety
Speaker 18: group HEAT Initiative. She says, the US needs to do
Speaker 18: this as well.
Speaker 5: Jillian's will be.
Speaker 19: Taking the lead and the question is what se that's
Speaker 19: going to do.
Speaker 18: Yeah, in Australia is taking the lead in this. They
Speaker 18: are the first that she and others that they've been
Speaker 18: protesting outside of Apple stores demanding that Apple add in
Speaker 18: safeguards to protect children from different social media dangers. And
Speaker 18: she says keeping kids off of social media that this
Speaker 18: is something that the US needs to do, but that
Speaker 18: parents need to do as well.
Speaker 19: It's not just the addiction, which is enough of a
Speaker 19: harming in of itself, it's exposure to eating disorder, content,
Speaker 19: to suicide, content to child's sexual decuterial and even real
Speaker 19: dangerous that keeps experience on these platforms.
Speaker 18: And that's the argument. In Australia, they say social media
Speaker 18: US it leads to a spike they say the data
Speaker 18: is there and serious problems for children. Four years ago,
Speaker 18: there were internal documents from Meta, the parent company of
Speaker 18: Facebook and Instagram, that leaked out showing that social media
Speaker 18: platforms contributed to suicidal thoughts and body image problems in teenagers,
Speaker 18: and Meta says, well, they've now implemented safety features to
Speaker 18: address some of that. But there are parents who are
Speaker 18: saying this is what Australia is doing is a good thing,
Speaker 18: and that the US needs to say, hey, we've got
Speaker 18: to do more. That most of this was created in
Speaker 18: the US from social media companies here, and then now
Speaker 18: the US needs to crack down well.
Speaker 19: On a day to day basis protect a lot of
Speaker 19: kids from exploitation and predators and inappropriate content that is
Speaker 19: being pushed at them every day by these companies.
Speaker 18: So Malaysia and Denmark they're looking at band similar to
Speaker 18: what Australia is doing. The US we don't know of
Speaker 18: any real serious effort, any bills or anything yet to
Speaker 18: do anything here, but there are these calls from different
Speaker 18: groups and parents to do it. But Australia is the first,
Speaker 18: and now we'll see if the US will follow.
Speaker 1: Now what do we we're talking Alex Stone from ABC, Alex,
Speaker 1: is there a rough list of the of the sites
Speaker 1: we're talking about here when you say social media? Are
Speaker 1: there ten of them? Are there twenty of them?
Speaker 16: You know?
Speaker 1: I obviously you know instat Yeah, yeah, them X and
Speaker 1: all that stuff.
Speaker 18: Yeah, I haven't seen an exact list of them, but
Speaker 18: it's definitely the big ones of X, TikTok, Instagram. They're
Speaker 18: going as far as YouTube as being social media, which yeah,
Speaker 18: that's arguable if it's social media or if it's an
Speaker 18: entertainment platform or whatever it is. But they're included in this.
Speaker 18: So the government is figuring out of Australia what it
Speaker 18: counts as being social media. If it were to go
Speaker 18: in the US, they would have to do the same
Speaker 18: thing here.
Speaker 2: So Alex, again, what is the main driver of this
Speaker 2: in terms of why Australia wants to do this? Is
Speaker 2: it safety in protecting kids from child predators or is
Speaker 2: it protecting kids from their brains rotting? Right, there's lots
Speaker 2: of great data out there about you know, young people
Speaker 2: and they're developing brains and the effect of negative effect
Speaker 2: of social media. What's the main driver of why they're
Speaker 2: doing this?
Speaker 18: It is all of the above, but the biggest part
Speaker 18: of it is mental health. Of the impact of kids
Speaker 18: seeing the the day to day algorithm of what pops
Speaker 18: up on your Instagram feed or you're probably not Facebook
Speaker 18: for most kids any longer. But TikTok feed, any of
Speaker 18: the different platforms of what it can do to to
Speaker 18: mental health and bullying and body shaming and suicidal thoughts
Speaker 18: and all of that that. Yeah, they want to protected
Speaker 18: them and in all ways, but a lot of this
Speaker 18: is really about mental health.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we'll see how this shakes out and
Speaker 1: see if it makes the trip across well I'm going
Speaker 1: to say across the pond, but basically around the world.
Speaker 18: That is true.
Speaker 1: All right, with that, Alex, we will let you go. Buddy,
Speaker 1: Thanks so much.
Speaker 18: You got it. Thanks, And I.
Speaker 1: Boy, that's rough because these kids, man, they are so
Speaker 1: married to that stuff. It's insane.
Speaker 2: You but is it a thing?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are, but they're totally invested.
Speaker 2: And I don't necessarily care about the rights because you're
Speaker 2: talking about kids under kids sixteen and under, so you know,
Speaker 2: I don't care about your rights. I think it's a
Speaker 2: job of adults and parents to say time, we think
Speaker 2: this is better for you and if you don't like it, well,
Speaker 2: just you know, wait a couple of years and then
Speaker 2: you can do whatever you want. So I think it'll
Speaker 2: be interesting to see all the data that'll come out
Speaker 2: in the next couple of years about you know, just
Speaker 2: not only just the safety aspect, but in the mental
Speaker 2: health aspect, but also just how negatively is it affecting
Speaker 2: the kids' minds? Well rock.
Speaker 1: In other news, speaking of mental health, this happened down
Speaker 1: in go Figure, Florida. Of course, after crashing a maybe
Speaker 1: you saw this story. After crashing a stolen BMW the
Speaker 1: other day of Florida, man denied swiping the car and
Speaker 1: explained the cops that he had actually been teleported into
Speaker 1: the car.
Speaker 2: Honey, I was teleported into the bar.
Speaker 1: I didn't go there, and the police alleged that Calvin Johnson,
Speaker 1: thirty six, took the twenty eighteen BMW convertible while the
Speaker 1: owners were walking their dog around the local park. He
Speaker 1: apparently broke into the car, found the keys and the well,
Speaker 1: I guess apparently didn't have to break into the car
Speaker 1: because the keys were in there in a cup holder.
Speaker 1: Who's going to leave their beamer convertible with the keys
Speaker 1: and a cup holder. But anyways, so with that, he
Speaker 1: got in there, took the car, and very shortly later,
Speaker 1: mister Johnson, driving over one hundred miles an hour, crashed
Speaker 1: the car. Passing motorists helped get him out of the car.
Speaker 1: When cops arrived at the scene, Johnson told the told
Speaker 1: the cops, thank god you saved me from the aliens.
Speaker 1: My boy's got some issues. He was taken into custody
Speaker 1: and he's on a you know, a crazy person watch
Speaker 1: at the local hospital. He uh is an extensive criminal record,
Speaker 1: which includes convictions for just the past year for trespass, obstruction, loitering, resisting,
Speaker 1: and grand theft for stealing a fifteen hundred dollars bicycle.
Speaker 1: Asked why he stole the bike, mister Johnson answered, what
Speaker 1: I just felt.
Speaker 2: Like felt like and it looked expensive and nice.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, hey, look man, I would have stuck
Speaker 1: with the alien thing. If you're gonna pin something on
Speaker 1: the aliens, just stick with it.
Speaker 2: I believe I saw the betting markets the poly markets
Speaker 2: have said that the uh UH the chance Trump declassified
Speaker 2: declassifies UFO files before twenty twenty seven, It has jumped
Speaker 2: up to like eighty percent, Like literally in the last
Speaker 2: couple of days, it was like around twenty and then
Speaker 2: it jumped eighty. So does somebody know something that a
Speaker 2: lot of folks may not. When it comes to the gamblers,
Speaker 2: they he usually.
Speaker 1: Know what's going on, sniffing something out.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're the best predictor, like the poly market,
Speaker 2: the best predictor of election results there is, right, you know.
Speaker 1: So now, I we've talked about this before and we
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of time, but think about just
Speaker 1: the repercussions if it's if they've known all along that
Speaker 1: there is life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've known about this since nineteen fifty. We just
Speaker 2: didn't think y'all could handle it, right, But here we go.
Speaker 1: And how do you think we got to the moon?
Speaker 1: They told us how to get to the moon. They
Speaker 1: gave us directions or something such.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean that that would be the
Speaker 2: wild part, right, It is, like, how did all these
Speaker 2: things you know that we thought were just invented in
Speaker 2: a you know, by some guy who was all ice. Yeah,
Speaker 2: elon musk.
Speaker 17: No, we.
Speaker 2: Had this thing, we reverse engineered it and put up
Speaker 2: from plea tarts and do this, do this, and mix
Speaker 2: that with that and weld that and there you go.
Speaker 1: You're good to go. We'll find out soon enough, apparently.
Speaker 1: With that, we check in with traffic and weather, what
Speaker 1: is going on.
