WEBVTT - 3-13-26 Scott Sloan Show 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.400 You want to be an American. 0:00:03.320 --> 0:00:06.880 Twenty here, this is seven hundred WLIW. This is interesting. 0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:11.280 A record high forty five percent of adults in America 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.960 identified as political independence last year, and that number looks 0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:17.639 like it's going to grow this year in twenty twenty six. 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:21.680 But an equal share of adults now consider themselves a 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:24.840 twenty seven percent Democrat, twenty seven percent Republican, a forty 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:28.200 five percent independent. What the hell does that mean? Actually, 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.600 and the independent percentage has increased in the past fifteen 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:34.360 years or I don't around forty percent, but we haven't 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.240 seen this level like in a long long time. What's 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.800 driving this whole thing. Joining the show is polster and 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.760 political advisor. That'd be the legendary Kevin Burton from Crosstown 0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:44.040 Consulting in northern Kentucky. 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:47.199 keV I doing I'm doing pretty good, Scott, Thank you 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:48.040 for that introduction. 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:53.199 Yeah, the legendary in your legendary at this point, this 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:54.640 is I mean I look at this and go, okay, 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.360 forty five percent independent. I consider myself that I tend 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.760 to lean to the right, but at the same time libertarian. 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.000 I'm kind of an amalgamation of different things. But I 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.280 vote with my conscience, not because I want to be 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.720 part of a movement, and I've yet to see a 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.119 movement that I would be part of, because I think 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.840 there's a certain amount of corruption and also a glasshouse's nature, 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.520 and also having to go against some ideals in order 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.039 to compromise. And maybe I'm a little too stubborn to 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.360 do that. But it seems like I'm in the majority 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.399 here at this point. And what does this mean for 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:30.720 the Democrats and Republicans? Of twenty seven percent are Democrats, 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.360 twenty seven percent of Republicans. They take up all the 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:34.360 oxygen in a room. 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:40.880 Yeah, And the reason why independence have grown is because 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.960 of the primary creth. So in Kentucky you have a 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.720 closed primary, so only DS can vote for d's, only 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.720 rs can vote for rs. Eyes can't do anything. In 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:55.040 Ohio you can do say, you know, you can do 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:56.920 different things. If you're an eye. You can vote the 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:01.440 Democratic primary, you can vote to the Republican. So each 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:06.120 state is different, but the primaries always result in the 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.880 most extremes on both sides, and that's why it's driven 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:14.160 more independent because to win a primary, you're usually looking 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:18.919 at ten, twelve, fifteen percent turnout In off year elections, 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.840 which frankly, the only people who usually vote on those 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.520 are people who are really riled up. So you're going 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:27.639 to have the extremes on both sides. So it has 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:34.160 pushed more people to the middle. Now, when you do campaigns, though, 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.840 there's usually about eight to ten percent that are completely 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:43.399 non leaning, and those are the core flippers for independence. 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:44.880 How you win elections? 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:49.040 Okay, obviously they're important in the election themselves. Some of 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.280 the old adage about you always campaign to the extremes 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.440 and you governed from the middle, Well that that sentiment's 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.120 been gone for a while now, that's not that has 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.799 been true in a while. No, oh, not at all. 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.880 I mean, which turns more people in independence. But again, 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:07.639 if that's the way the system is designed, it feels 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:11.560 like a fruitless effort, is it. Well it is. 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.840 And this is where it's kind of ironic that the 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.640 only time both Democrats and Republicans work together is to 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.200 squash any third party. 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.160 Right, we talk. 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.120 About we talk about redistricting in Ohio and Democrats all 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.120 worked up. Well, what about states or Democrats? Well that's different. 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:33.400 Well, and you know, for every California there's an Alabama 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:34.280 and vice versa. 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:35.520 So you know. 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.680 The bulk of people, and you know you hear this 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.200 with in your communities. 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.360 You know you're at a bar, at. 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:49.640 A church, ninety percent of people just common sense things. 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.320 And that's what you're seeing with forty five percent of 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:57.280 people identifying as independents and the twenty seven percent you 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:01.040 know to an R or D, you're really seeing just 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:02.320 kind of people where I think are. 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:07.120 Just tired of just being tired of politics. Yeah, yeah, exhausting. 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.240 Yeah, can we just get back to being like, hey, 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.280 I might not agree with you, but it's okay. 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:14.520 Yeah, we want to make politics boring again? 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:20.800 That that should be the next slogan for anyone, right right, 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:21.920 Make politics boring? 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.799 Yeah, make politics bor You don't talk about religion and politics, 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.120 Well now we talk about both. And it's exhausting, quite honestly, 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.920 when you start looking at the numbers. Though inside the 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.159 over forty five almost half the country, for God's sakes, 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.920 call themselves independents, and let look where we are when 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.240 it comes to the poop slinging on both sides. Gen 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:44.240 z Ors, though in particular, declare their independencity much higher 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.560 rate fifty six percent than millennials did. When they were 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.880 that age of forty seven percent. What does that mean 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.239 in the long term. 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:54.120 Well, okay, so millennials to gen Z. You also got 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.599 to remember for millennials, for most of them, they were 0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.400 in college or high school when Obama came came in. 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.239 So like I would take that with a little grain 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:03.840 of salt. 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:09.080 A lot of gen Zers, you know, they still lean 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.520 or considered themselves a Democrat when push comes the shelves. 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.600 So out of the poll they did forty. 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.560 Eight percent of them considered themselves a Democrat for considered 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:24.720 them Republicans. And I think it's just simply like you 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:29.760 see the Bernie Sanders, the AOC, the Mindani wing where 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.640 frankly they didn't get a fair share from the Democratic Party. 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.000 And I think that's why more and more people are 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:38.479 just saying, you know what, I'm just going to be 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:42.599 an independent and on the Republican side, you know, they're 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:44.120 that was Trump. 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:45.160 I mean, Trump didn't. 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.280 Feel like he was getting a fair shaken twenty sixteen, 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.680 which was a lifetime ago, but you know, he was 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:52.400 an outsider running. 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:56.120 Are independence basically socialists and misplaced populous? 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:01.839 Yes, I mean you know, because like when you're running 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:06.440 an election. Basically, both ours and D's they have these 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:12.520 softwares and they're billion dollars softwares, and they basically put 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:17.560 algorithms and it's way above my pay grade. But there's 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:21.599 like one hundred and thirty sub sections and everything, and 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:26.279 I'll give you a score. So let's say is zero 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.560 is a conservative, one hundred is a Democrat. So it 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.480 will say if I typed in Scott Swann, let's say 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:39.680 your score was twenty seven. That would mean that you 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:44.600 have a high probability of voting Republicans. So when you're 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:49.839 running these elections, especially with independence, you look at the 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:55.440 around ten percent of the independents who really swing the election. 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:57.160 Those are the people who you hear, you. 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:05.120 Know, they voted Trump, Biden, Trump, Obama. And that's and 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.880 that's where elections are really one. They're one on the margins. 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.600 And that's the margin, the eight to ten percent non 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:11.840 leaning independence. 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.640 You've got your twenty seven percent of hardcore conservatives, twenty 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.400 five percent twenty seven percent hardcore progressives. In order to 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.800 tiff that split, you need to draw that ten percent, 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.239 got it, Yeah. 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.880 Because out of out of the other thirty five, basically 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.920 you can split that seventeen percent both ways, and they're 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.840 going to lean to the last of lean to the right. 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.760 So it's all about about that ten percent number who 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.600 really decides federal elections. 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.280 Yeah, and I guess that ten percent is on the 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.280 seesaw going okay, well who do I who? As opposed 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:45.240 to who do I really like? 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:45.480 Who? 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.120 Who do who do I hate? Least it's the way 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.920 we look at that. And I guess that ten percent. 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.040 Is that why we will not see or do you 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.400 think we'll never see another two term present again? For 0:07:55.400 --> 0:08:00.600 that reason? And I guess I mean, I mean Konseck, 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:02.880 you know, Trump's second term technically, but you know Biden 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:04.880 was in the middle of that, so we just swung 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.400 back and forth. Is that why? I mean? 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.120 But also I would say both Trump and Biden are 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.240 kind of outliers. I mean, Biden was going to be 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:17.720 eighty three years old and Trump's gonna be, you know, 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.800 the same, And it was COVID, So I would say, 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:26.040 let's see one more president before we make that claim, 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.520 because both of them are kind of different from the majority. 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.760 But yeah, it's very very hard if you look at 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:37.240 presidential approvals. Really since the invention of cable news but 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.520 really social media, it's almost impossible to stay above fifty 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:42.400 percent approval. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:44.200 So it's going to make it harder and. 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.600 Harder to govern, and just harder and harder to block 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:48.240 out the noise. 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.360 Yeah, okay, gotcha. So Trump's first term, we got the 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.800 anti trumpers go, hey, we need something. We're tired of 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.720 this guy. We brought Biden. Four years later, we got 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.040 tired of Biden. We brought Trump back. And I'm guessing, 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.839 you know, with the mid and then three years from now, 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.120 are we going to rebel against the Republicans and vote 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:06.160 a Democrat. 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.160 In Well, but that's also the great thing of those countries. 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.000 There's checks and balances. Yeah, I mean it is. You know, 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:16.240 you might not like it, but that's that's how we've 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.720 always been and hopefully that's how we always will be. 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.880 You know, when one tide gets too strong, the people 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:22.640 speak up. 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:24.079 Right and vice versa. 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.720 So if you ask me today, yes, the midterms would 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:31.240 probably look really good for the Democrat as of today, and. 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.080 Then we'll see what happened. I mean, again, this has 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.840 been one year. I can't have three more years, and 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.199 it just seems like it's getting more and more viral. 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.400 You know, since we're going at each other even harder, 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.280 and every day feels like it's a year. As far 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.040 as news goes, there's definitely been a change the last 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:49.320 number of years relative to that. And Trump, of course, 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:53.360 is a whirlwind of activities, always doing something. Certainly every 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.560 day there's something new, for sure, and either you're excited 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.080 by that or turned off by it, but everyone definitely 0:09:58.080 --> 0:09:59.960 has an opinion on it. I look at the general 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:04.360 racial breakdowns. Gen Z fifty six percent identifies independence, Millennials 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:09.320 a majority, gen X my generation forty plus percent identifies independence. 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.280 When you get downe to the baby boomer silent generation 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.920 that's right around thirty three percent. How much does that change? 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.559 It just seems like the older you get, the more 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:21.600 accepting you become of a party. And maybe you know 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.679 what this whole identity politic thing where people will not 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:28.359 question the person they voted for, even if it's a contradiction, 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.880 they won't point that out. In many ways, that seems 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:33.240 to be case you just as the older you get, 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:34.760 the more sent in the ways you are and you 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.440 want to be part of that community. And does that 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.760 change with future generations where their identity. 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.120 Isn't politics well, but you also got to remember, if 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.760 you're a baby boomer or definitely a silent generation, you 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.199 really grew up in a whole different world. You didn't 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.320 have twenty four to seven news for the longest time, 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:52.360 the Internet you. 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.439 Didn't really have, and definitely non social media. 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.280 So I think, you know, social media in the twenty 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:03.040 four hour news has just changed everything. It's made politics 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:10.000 a constant, you know, I think going forward. 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.640 I mean, so when you're running an election, generally. 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:18.839 Speaking, I always tell people to kind of block out 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.640 people sixty and above if they're an independent or a 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.679 Democrat or a Republican, because their minds are already made up. 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.360 If you've voted eight straight. 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:33.040 Elections for one party, it's gonna be really, really hard 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.120 to try to convince you to switch because you're kind 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.160 of said in your ways. Yeah, I mean, you know, 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.920 we can't teach an old dog new tricks. 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:46.040 Sorry, old people. Well, you look at brand loyalty. I mean, 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.199 you know that that has died. That died some time 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.320 ago too. With younger generations, it used to be like, 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.319 I'm a tied man, I'm a Republican man, I'm a 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.920 you know whatever. It might be younger people don't have 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:01.720 those loyalties unless it's said that's about it. That's true, 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.840 that's true. Well, you know that's more of a cost 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.160 issue than anything, because you know, if you decide I'm 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:10.200 going Android, your tablet, your laptop, your desktop, your handheld, 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.599 your mobile, all that stuff is now you got to 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.360 swap it all up. He's Kevin Burton Polster of Northern 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.520 Kentucky here, and we're talking about a new study that 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.720 came out from Gallup. They do this every year. A 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.079 record high forty five percent of US adults identify as 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.960 political independence. In the past year, twenty seven percent each 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:32.680 NFL themselves as Democrats or Republicans, and that that middle part, 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.840 that independent part, becomes critical in elections, he said, about 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.600 ten percent, ten percent will decide the election either way, 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.080 which is why we go back and forth the days 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.280 of FDR where we have multiple terms feel like that 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.720 is it's definitely in the past unless something else changes too. 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.160 Taking into account America's party identification of that match out 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.040 with the twenty seven percent forty seven percent identified as 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.959 Democrats or said they're a independent, it's forty two percent 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.400 with the Republicans. That's a three years I think that 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:03.480 broke a three stretch in which Republicans held a an 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.720 edge in party affiliation. Is that something that also changes, 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:10.160 or is the Republican party in decline and once the 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.800 Democrats take power at some point that just swings the 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:14.280 other way. 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.520 I mean, it's I mean, the Republicans are in charge now, 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:22.160 and that's why, you know, I mean, people always it's 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:26.320 the backup quarterback syndrome. You know, if things aren't going well, 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.120 you're always yearning for the backup quarterback. And then once 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.720 the backup quarterback comes in, you're like, well, there's a 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.679 reason why I didn't want him in the first place. 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.240 So I mean, that's just a give and take of 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:42.880 you know, leading. It's so impossible now to actually get 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.920 above fifty in party. 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:47.640 Registration or approval. 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:52.800 You know, you go back to George W. Bush right 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.120 after nine to eleven, he had an eighty seven percent 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:56.280 approval rating. 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:02.800 That's on I can't even press about that, you know, yeah, yeah, 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.440 and that was probably at the time, and oh my god, 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:08.080 you know, because Lincoln had a probably a bad example 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:12.440 of Washington, for example, had a ninety nine percent. Yeah, 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:14.920 and no, that makes sense too, because as divided as 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.640 we are the conservative ideology advantage is shrunk to just 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.520 seven points. That's the smallest ever. And again, I think 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.480 that's just indicase what you're talking about here. And I 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:26.680 don't know if that I think it could be though, 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.120 that Trump is redefining what conservative means. I'm not even 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.680 sure what conservative means anymore. O. 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.200 Well, I mean, you know it doesn't mean the small 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:39.960 governor no small government, because exactly so. But you know, 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:44.680 Democrats have really had to come to Jesus meeting. 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:45.720 Kind of this last year. 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.600 You know, it was a really bad messaging point for 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.200 you saying, you know, Trump is a threat of democracy 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.600 when you didn't even have a primary. And I think 0:14:55.720 --> 0:15:00.200 that's the number one reason why Trump won because as 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:00.640 he took. 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.360 Away, they're not the number one thing to use against. 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:08.200 Him when you didn't allow an open primary. 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.920 Yeah, where does social media go from here? 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:10.960 In? 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:15.400 The Digital Agency mentioned information fragmentation, declining trust and institutions 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:19.720 like journalism did that'll also fuel the independent identification? 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.360 Well, I mean that's the I think irony is that 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:27.240 as we've gotten more educated, we're actually headed more towards 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:31.880 like another dark age. You know. I also do think 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.760 there's a little bit of kind of a pushback, especially 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:40.320 with millennials and gen Z. I don't really see a 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:44.120 lot of millennials on Facebook anymore, right, I feel like 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:49.880 that time kind of passed for them, you know, in 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.360 a lot of ways. I wonder in you know, fifteen 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.680 twenty years, when we look at the effects of social media, 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.680 how people looked at the cigarette companies in the nineties 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.760 or the early two thousand, the afact gone. 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.600 Right, it's just so the the polars and camps even more, 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.040 you know, it's declining to some degree, you know, asn't 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:12.280 aside here. I have a family members they moved recently 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.640 and not one of their neighbors, and the first question 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.640 out their mouse was are you Republican? Because everybody in 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:21.200 the streets Republican. And he used to be like, oh, 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:23.720 we're Catholic? Are you Catholic? You know where need to 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:25.640 go to high school? Things like that, and now it's 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.960 it's probably been that way for a while. But I 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.800 think that's kind of interesting, Like that's that's the whole identity, 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.560 right is I'm a Republican or I'm I'm a progressive, 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.600 whatever it might be. More Republicans and progressives here in Cincinnati. 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.600 But you get the idea well, and you even see 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.240 that now people will be like, well, I don't want 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:47.960 to watch this actor or listen to this thing. It's like, 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:50.480 as long as they're going to commit a crime like 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.440 r Kelly or P Diddy, like I think, I think 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.680 you're all right. You can disagree with them, but if 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.800 they still make good art, like just go with it. 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.800 Yeah. Yeah, Well like back when Senators on carry Right 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.640 and Teresa Hines Kerry and people were boycotting Heinz ketchup 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.080 on Mike. Look, yeah, I don't gore the politics, but 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:10.719 the only ketchup in the world is Heines Ketchup. I'm sorry. 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:13.800 There's a lot I would put up before I would 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:17.640 boycott Heinz Ketchup. He is a Kevin Burton Polster advisor 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.880 with Crosstown Consulting in Northern Kentucky. All the best, thanks 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:24.199 to the Inside, Appreciate you, Thank you, Scott. Enjoy the 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.440 warm before the cold hits us again on Wendy but 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:28.800 warms go feel good this weekend. Get out and enjoy it. 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:30.760 We have lots to do on the Scots Loan Show. 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.800 News Happens first though. That's about five minutes from right now, 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:35.879 including the forecasting, traffic and what you need to know 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.959 in the world. And then it's Will Gance. So if 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.840 you're gonna stay in maybe at night, I've got some streaming. 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.000 I think he's got a movie option for you too 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.679 as well. And always kicking around on Friday, Martin Will Gants, 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:51.000 our ABC entertainment guy, got a lot of hoop this weekend. 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.080 And maybe if you want to break from now or 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.280 you're not into that, we got alternative. Sorry. Will's next 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.000 to discuss seven hundred w Goda. 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.600 Now a man who has entertainment reporting, of course through 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:08.480 his veins, which makes him a medical opity. 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.080 He is ABC Will Gans from New York. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:16.440 Goodmorning, Will Haw's life. Life is good. How are you 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.360 I'm fine, I'm fine. Are you ready for the Oscars? 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:20.880 Do you get to go to the oscars? Do they 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:22.879 send you there? How's that work for Will Gance? 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.320 You would think that they would, but nope, I will 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:29.600 be watching at home on the couch. I'm totally totally 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:31.200 fine with it, not bitter at all. 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.239 Sure you can tell through the phone. Yeah, did they 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:36.399 even like do they give you like a coupon so 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:38.800 you can go get big shrimp somewhere in New York 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:46.800 and then not a coupon nothing. Nothing sounds a bitches anyway, 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:49.480 I want to get into the oscars in just a 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:53.720 second here. First, though, Harry styles he's doing double duty. 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:58.080 He's hosting, he's performing SNL. It happens not too frequently, 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:00.959 but I guess we get to say he's acting chops. 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:03.080 I think that's right. 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.879 You know, he just sort of feels ubiquitous at this point. 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:10.000 Andy Snel is capitalizing on the moment. 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:10.359 You know. 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:14.320 I think, you know, he just he is a star, 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:16.359 and I think this is going to be a real 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:19.119 chance for him to flex, you know, a side of 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.119 him that we don't get to see very often. He 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.000 is super charismatic when he's singing on stage and stuff 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.440 like that. I mean, he sold out thirty five performances 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:29.160 at Madison Square Garden in. 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:30.160 A row this year. 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:33.280 So it'll be interesting to see if that charisma or 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:37.679 how that charisma translates, you know, on the SNL stage 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:40.320 last week was Ryan Gosling and he knocked it out 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:43.240 of the park. So it'll be interesting to see how 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.040 Harry stacks up, you know, compared to some of the 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.120 other great hosts of Late. 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.440 Oh it's interesting you don't expect it and watch him 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.639 just kill it. And there have been people in the past, 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:56.440 like I'm trying to I remember Brian Williams before he 0:19:56.600 --> 0:20:00.080 was before his scandal, he hosted S and Lly kill. 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:04.400 Yeah. I mean, and that's that's some of the more 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.080 exciting stuff, right, Like when you get someone like Melissa 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.440 McCarthy hosting, you know, you know it's gonna be yeah, exactly, 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:13.800 and then when someone like Harry Styles comes along, it's like, 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.119 oh wow, okay, you know, I get it. 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:19.439 I get why people are upset. I thought Ariana Grande 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:20.840 was wonderful too, same thing. 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:26.200 She was incredible, excellent, point she was, she was amazing. Yeah, 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:29.760 and really just like threw herself in. So it'll be 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:32.160 interesting to see if Harry can can do. 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:32.680 The same thing. 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:37.320 Okay, before we get to Oscar related stuff, I know 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:39.920 that you wanted to mention Young Sherlock, which is Amazon 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:43.280 Prime Video. We have another of the do you take 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.120 something You're just like, we're going to make this young 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:49.480 you know, Young Sheldon, Young Young Frankenstein, Young Sherlock. I 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:51.080 see the idea trend here. 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:55.120 Yeah, I mean it is you know, nothing sells better 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.600 than existing ip something that has a built in fan 0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:00.439 base or whatever. So you're right, instead of doing the 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:03.840 sequel treatment or the threequel or whatever, let's go in 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:06.320 the other direction and give a nice prequel story. 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:07.600 And that's exactly what this is. 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:12.119 It's it is Guy Richie directed, so it's it's action packed. 0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:14.120 There are those like weird. 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.119 Things where Sherlock sort of goes into his mind and 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.960 is like figuring out, you know, Okay, I just witnessed this, this, 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:21.879 and this, how can I connect the dots here? And 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:26.040 he is at Oxford University. Moriarty is there with him, 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:28.840 so that is of course who will end up becoming 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:31.159 his arch nemesis. 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:31.720 In you know, later in life. 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:33.959 But they are buddies in this and they're teaming up 0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:39.080 together to solve a murder mystery on campus. And it's 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:42.719 a lot of fun. All eight episodes are out. They 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:45.560 came out last week on Prime Video. So if you're 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:49.360 into the Sherlock Holmes saying, if you're into murder mysteries 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:52.080 and action sequences, it's it's. 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:52.960 A lot of fun to watch. 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:55.480 And yeah, you could binge the whole thing this weekend 0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:56.520 if you wanted to gotcha. 0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:58.560 So it's he's young, but he's in college. 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:01.320 Correct, he's not a child? 0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:03.640 Yeah right, So the big mysteries will be like, who 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:07.680 stole somebody's bong? Somebody left their door open, that's right, 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:11.880 their laptops stolen? Yeah, right, exactly. I think I think 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.920 my roommates a serial killer. And then you do, okay, good, good. 0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:17.760 That's a good format right there. All right, So Oscars, 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:19.840 I'm gonna just get to the I think the ones 0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:22.119 most people care about. Of course, we'll be Best Picture, 0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:27.040 and I know the nominees include Sinners, centeml Value, one 0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:31.879 battle after another, Marty Supreme, Hamnet, Frankenstein f won the movie, 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:35.280 and a couple more in there. So who's gonna win? 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:38.840 I think it'll be one battle after another. If I 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:41.879 was a betting man, I think that that's the movie 0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:45.520 to beat. If any movie can beat it, it would 0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:50.800 be Sinners. So Sinners is the most nominated movie in 0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:53.680 OSCARS history. It got sixteen nominations this year. 0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:57.399 But I think right now it's sort of a time. 0:22:57.400 --> 0:23:02.080 Lea versus time less you know, movie battle here, So 0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:04.879 the time lya or movie is one battle after another. 0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:07.119 This is the leo Dicapriole one where it's you know, 0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:09.679 it's sort of a group of like rebels who are 0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:14.640 fighting against an oppressive or fascist sort of governmental structure, 0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:17.320 and you know they're doing everything they can. And then 0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:19.880 Sinners is the one that is setting the Jim Crow 0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:22.760 so south and it's the vampire movie and Michael B. 0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:26.320 Jordan is playing Twins, So they're both great movies. I 0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:28.560 do think it'll be one battle after another that we 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:32.159 hear for Best Picture, probably Best Director as well, but 0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:35.480 Sinners could pull off a few upsets in some other categories, 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:37.159 namely Best Actor. 0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:39.399 Yeah. I will really want to see Sinners, but my 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:41.480 wife won't let me because she hates the whole horror 0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:44.480 anything vampire genre, not a lot. We can't watch it. 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:47.000 So and she has a job. She's never out of town, 0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:48.480 so it's like, oh, she's gonna go to a town 0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:50.920 I didn't know. I can now I can't. So I'm 0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:52.560 sure it's a great movie. I would like to see 0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:55.720 Michael B. Jordan play Twins, and I like the whole vibe. 0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:57.840 I like the era, I like all that stuff. But 0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:00.440 I'm married, you understand, will and we're not allowed to 0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:01.400 do things. 0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:06.160 Yeah, I mean, at some point, maybe if you're on 0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:08.240 a flight or if someone gets the flu or something, 0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:09.959 it's it's definitely worth watching. 0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:12.840 It's bad enough when I get are you watching war again? 0:24:13.200 --> 0:24:16.600 Are you watching War? Yeah? I amshan, I'm watching War, 0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:19.720 And then she gets that. So if I'm are you 0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:22.159 watching She's never said I be watching a horror movie. 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:24.399 I'd probably be thrown out of the house. So, you know, 0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:26.280 I'm only allowed to do certain things. I go where 0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:29.840 I'm kicked one battle after another. That was fantastic. And 0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:33.320 speaking of which, I know that Leo DiCaprio obviously is 0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:35.480 nominated for Best Actor in there, but he's up against 0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:38.640 again Michael B. Jordan. From what I understand, at least 0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:41.359 from the clips I've seen on YouTube, Michael B. Jordan 0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:42.520 puts on a hell of her performance. 0:24:43.800 --> 0:24:46.120 Yeah, and you know, you consider that for so much 0:24:46.160 --> 0:24:48.840 of it, you know, he was acting with no scene 0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:51.359 partner because he would have to film both sides of 0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:54.199 his you know, dialogue. If he's playing twins, you know, 0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:56.879 he would be acting with nothing in return and then 0:24:57.000 --> 0:24:59.440 doing the other end of the scene, you know, as 0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:01.600 the other twin. And so that's a challenge in and 0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:03.320 of itself, and he definitely did a great job. 0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:04.960 The other Best. 0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:07.919 Actor contender would be Timothy Shalomey for Marty Supreme. So 0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:11.080 you know, it's an interesting race here because at the 0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:13.880 beginning of Awards season, when we're doing the Critics Circle 0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:17.439 and the Golden Globes and stuff, Timothy was winning and 0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:19.680 winning and winning. And then just in the last couple 0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:22.520 of weeks, Michael B. Jordan won the SAG Award and 0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:28.200 then Timothy had this weird little interview with Matthew McConaughey 0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:31.159 where he said something like to the effect of, you know, 0:25:31.200 --> 0:25:33.840 I'm glad I make movies instead of you know, doing 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:35.240 ballet or opera, which. 0:25:35.080 --> 0:25:36.640 No one really cares about anymore. 0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:40.159 And as you can imagine, in you know these artsy communities, 0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:42.639 that didn't go over very well. So you know, his 0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:45.359 campaign sort of in the like just you know, in 0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:48.399 the final stretch here just sort of hit a big hiccup. 0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:51.399 I didn't go after the voting closed, though, right, so 0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:53.760 I want to affect them. I mean it, I think 0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:54.520 it started. 0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:56.280 There were a few days last when he said it, 0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:58.919 but it really blew up after voting clothes. But you know, 0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:00.879 for anyone who was waiting at the very tail end 0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:04.520 of of you know the Lord, Yeah it. 0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:06.080 Might what do you make that? I look at that 0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:10.359 and go, okay, well, HI been wrong. Uh, And like 0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:12.800 I would think that the people who vote for the 0:26:12.800 --> 0:26:15.600 Oscars would also be in that same category. I get 0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:17.920 that the artsy factor here, and you probably shouldn't crap 0:26:17.920 --> 0:26:20.680 on the arts or anything, but yeah, you speaking truth. 0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:22.440 I don't know how you hold that against him, if 0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:25.240 you're either he's this actor he's not. I don't I 0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:26.880 don't get why you take points off for that hold 0:26:26.880 --> 0:26:27.879 of grudge. It's petty. 0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:31.280 I mean, yeah, I think, like you know, people might think, 0:26:31.359 --> 0:26:33.879 like if who do we want on the stage, you know, 0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:37.600 the biggest night in Hollywood or whatever speaking to the 0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:39.960 mass is do we want someone who's going to uplift 0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:41.320 all arts communities? 0:26:41.440 --> 0:26:45.000 Or do we want someone who's like, you know, really 0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:48.280 really considering his own path to success? 0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:51.600 You know, I think he sort of has a reputation 0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:54.359 already before saying this stuff. You know, last year he 0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:56.160 was like, I want to be one of the greats. 0:26:56.160 --> 0:26:59.560 I'm not interested in, you know, anything besides being the 0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:02.720 best or whatever. Ye dating Kylie Jenner. So I think 0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:04.960 there's like a little bit of like people are sort. 0:27:04.760 --> 0:27:06.960 Of like, what is this guy here for? 0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:07.320 You know? 0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:10.080 And so those comments didn't help, all. 0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:11.560 Right, So he's a bad boy and he could go 0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:13.359 oh for too here because he didn't win. For a 0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:15.440 complete unun which I thought he was fantastic in is 0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:18.800 Bob Dylan and probably will lose to Michael B. Jorge, 0:27:18.840 --> 0:27:19.440 is what you're thinking. 0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:21.160 That's what I'm thinking. 0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:26.800 Twitch, You're thinking Bettman supporting actor real quick. It seems 0:27:26.840 --> 0:27:28.680 like Sean Penn is a lock in this. I mean 0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:31.400 he was. He was fantastic and want to battle after 0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:33.160 another Like, I didn't know how you could do better 0:27:33.240 --> 0:27:35.600 job acting than Sean Penn, did? I agree? 0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:37.600 I agree, he was amazing in it. 0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:41.200 I think the only other person who might pull off 0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:45.960 an upset here would be Stelling Scars Guard for sentimental value. 0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:48.240 But I do think it's Sean Penn's to lose. But 0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:50.520 the interesting thing is that, like Sean Penn has declared 0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:52.600 he doesn't care about awards or anything like that, so 0:27:52.640 --> 0:27:53.119 he might. 0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:55.120 Not even be there on the you know, yeah, he's 0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:58.320 won enough already, all right, So best supporting actors go. 0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:00.520 Madigan. 0:28:00.600 --> 0:28:03.960 I think for weapons she's like horrifying in the movie. 0:28:03.960 --> 0:28:05.880 This is one that your wife would definitely never let 0:28:05.920 --> 0:28:11.920 you watch. But she's amazing in weapons and she has 0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:15.320 I think it's been like forty years since her last nomination, 0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:17.360 so it would be like a real full circle. 0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:18.040 Moment should she win. 0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:21.560 But it could be Teana Taylor, who was in one 0:28:21.600 --> 0:28:24.399 battle after another, that could take it if it's not 0:28:24.480 --> 0:28:25.119 Amy Madigan. 0:28:25.200 --> 0:28:28.240 All right, so you got Oscars happening on Sunday and 0:28:28.520 --> 0:28:32.160 Conan O'Brien the host again, that's correct. 0:28:31.760 --> 0:28:34.919 And they start at seven Eastern this year, so it's 0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:36.720 an hour earlier, which is kind of nice. You won't 0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:39.240 have to be up till eleven to see who takes 0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:40.040 home best Picture. 0:28:40.120 --> 0:28:43.120 I think I'm hysterical, so I definitely watch the beginning 0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:45.040 see what he does. Will Gance, I know you got 0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:46.560 to get going, brother, appreciate it. Have a great weekend. 0:28:46.640 --> 0:28:48.600 Thanks you two. Take care. 0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:48.880 Right. 0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:51.400 You can catch him at at will Gans with two 0:28:51.600 --> 0:28:54.280 s's and not a big oscar guy or b. I 0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:56.240 just don't care about award show. I think that Timothy 0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:59.440 Shallow may things interesting in that you know they would 0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:02.480 hold the he said about about ballet in theater and 0:29:02.760 --> 0:29:05.320 the dismissal of ballet and opera. It's like, how many 0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:09.000 people are really going to opera anymore? Yeah, I mean 0:29:09.040 --> 0:29:12.000 they're amazing singers, there's no question about it, but most 0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:14.960 people are like, it's just there's more entertainment options out there. 0:29:15.000 --> 0:29:16.600 And I would say the same of ballet. It is 0:29:16.640 --> 0:29:19.479 really back of the room, highbrow stuff. If that's what 0:29:19.480 --> 0:29:22.120 you're into. Cool. But at the same time, it's like 0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:25.000 he's not lying, it's about saying even that's kind of 0:29:25.000 --> 0:29:27.200 fading as well. It's it's getting even more about the 0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:29.000 small screen than it is the big screen. It all 0:29:29.080 --> 0:29:32.360 changes over a period of time. You know, baroque music 0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:35.840 isn't the thing anymore. I don't think if you admitted 0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:37.680 that would they hold it against you because it's entire 0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:40.680 It's all petty, right, is that either you're the best 0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:42.960 actor or not. It shouldn't weigh in what what your 0:29:42.960 --> 0:29:45.800 personal beliefs are about other arts. But they're going to 0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:49.200 hold that against which again makes more people want to 0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:51.400 watch things like the Oscars less because it's a bunch 0:29:51.400 --> 0:29:54.720 of insider bs. And then politics, of course, I'll rever 0:29:54.720 --> 0:29:57.040 it's ugly ahead and I just I don't. I don't 0:29:57.040 --> 0:29:59.440 have any room in my room for the Oscars or 0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:02.040 Ward shows generally speaking, but I will say that I 0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:05.680 saw Timothy challow May and A Complete Unknown was fantastic, 0:30:05.920 --> 0:30:07.720 Like he learned how to he learned to be Bob 0:30:07.800 --> 0:30:10.520 Dylan for that movie. It's insane, kind of like, I 0:30:10.520 --> 0:30:12.480 don't know if it was what it was nominated for, 0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:17.880 maybe soundtrack, but the Springsteen movie was phenomenal. It was 0:30:17.960 --> 0:30:20.360 not about, oh, you know, it's as predictable, you know, 0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:22.520 here's the band and everybody together. It was about him 0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:24.880 coming up in Nebraska and he wanted to do this 0:30:24.920 --> 0:30:27.600 project and pretty much everyone in the studio was against 0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:29.040 it and saying, what the hell are you doing here 0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:32.400 recording out a boombox? And it turned out to be 0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:38.040 a classic album, so you know, again, he learned, Jeremy 0:30:38.040 --> 0:30:40.320 Allen White learned how to play guitarans and like Springsteen, 0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:42.400 if you go to a I Know iHeart radio app 0:30:42.480 --> 0:30:45.120 or Spotify where you get your music from download, he 0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:47.200 has like a mini ep out of the music that 0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:51.680 he's saying it's him singing, and he absolutely crushes a 0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:53.920 number of songs on there. You're like, holy crap. He 0:30:53.960 --> 0:30:57.640 sounds just like Bruce Springsteen, absolutely amazing, and Timothy Shallamy 0:30:57.720 --> 0:31:01.760 same way and complete unknown. So anyway, but I think 0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:03.480 that I did see and you may have seen it 0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:08.320 as well, one battle after another, and you know, not 0:31:08.400 --> 0:31:10.840 only was DiCaprio grade, and but Sean Penn was incredible 0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:13.480 in that movie and it kind of overshadowed everything else, 0:31:15.120 --> 0:31:17.680 but phenomenal film. So I could see that women big 0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:19.400 anyway on Sunday. Anyway, there you go, there you go, 0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:21.479 There you go, there you go. You can tell it's 0:31:21.520 --> 0:31:25.080 Award season two Oscar season because of all the celebrities there. 0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:28.800 Somebody I've seen Matthew Broderick who haven't seen in years 0:31:29.000 --> 0:31:31.280 on two different networks. I think it was in GMA. 0:31:32.200 --> 0:31:34.640 And Matthew Brodrick's one of those guys as you know 0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:38.480 you remember him, of course, a young Matthew Broderick, but 0:31:38.640 --> 0:31:41.400 older Matthew Broderick. We're getting older, you know, get a 0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:43.480 little thicker. We all always got to go. The older 0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:45.400 he gets, the more he looks like Kathy Bates. It's 0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:48.680 the most incredible thing. Literally, if they did a Kathy 0:31:48.760 --> 0:31:52.520 Bates biopick, I would cast Matthew Broderick. To play Kathy Bates. 0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:55.440 It's getting answered next twenty years. Watch him age. Some 0:31:55.840 --> 0:31:58.160 people do that, They get older and they just men 0:31:58.200 --> 0:32:02.400 morph into women. You know what I'm talking about. Next 0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:04.480 time you see Matthew brought to go, he's turning to 0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:06.840 Kathy Bates over here. All right, let's get a news 0:32:06.920 --> 0:32:08.680 update in very latest from on the world course. We've 0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:11.640 got war going on, we've got terrorist attacks, and we'll 0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:13.400 take it a little bit more serious. Coming up here 0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:15.760 in just minutes, Doctor Alex del Carman, who is a 0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:18.920 terrorism and mass shooting expert, will discuss what the hell 0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:22.160 happened yesterday. The war has definitely made it to the 0:32:22.160 --> 0:32:24.400 home front here. What does this mean for us here 0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:26.600 in Cincinnati. We'll get into that next on the Home 0:32:26.640 --> 0:32:29.240 of the Red seven hundred WW cincinnat I don't. 0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:31.000 Want to be an American idiot. 0:32:31.600 --> 0:32:35.000 It's loanly here. Seven hundred WLW. Two terrorist attacks in 0:32:35.080 --> 0:32:37.640 one day on American solo at the synagogue in Detroit, 0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:42.840 rammed by a vehicle and an Isis length gunman targeting 0:32:43.080 --> 0:32:46.520 ROTC College students in Virginia, Pro Iranian group wiping out 0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:49.840 a major American companies network and striker and the FBA 0:32:49.920 --> 0:32:53.280 warning of possible drone attacks off the California coast. Definitely, 0:32:53.320 --> 0:32:55.760 the war has hit the homeland. And on that this 0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:58.800 morning on seven hundred ww is doctor Alex del Carmen. 0:32:58.880 --> 0:33:02.480 He's a terrorism and mass shooting expert at Tarleton State University. 0:33:02.480 --> 0:33:04.000 Doctor Alex, welcome back, How you been? 0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:05.880 Thanks for having me. 0:33:06.160 --> 0:33:10.480 Yeah, pretty disturbing and how quickly we saw events like 0:33:10.520 --> 0:33:12.960 this occur. Although I would suggest, and it seems to 0:33:13.000 --> 0:33:16.080 indicate that even the guy who's an ISIS link gunman 0:33:16.240 --> 0:33:19.160 wasn't maybe motivated motivated by ISIS. He tried to jone 0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:22.240 ice at one time, and then the attack at the 0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:24.800 synagogue in Detroit or outside of Detroita, I should say, 0:33:24.960 --> 0:33:27.720 they feel like lone wolf attacks. Are we going to 0:33:27.760 --> 0:33:29.200 see more of this in the near future? 0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:33.160 Unfortunately, I think that most of the intelligence that he 0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:37.000 is coming into the FBI and other federal agencies does 0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:39.240 suggest that. Right, So we're going to be seeing these 0:33:39.280 --> 0:33:42.600 things pop up from time to time, and hopefully not 0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:43.760 not in terms of frequency. 0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:47.440 Yeah, two attacks in one day, as I said, and 0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:49.720 I would include in there too, the cyber attack on 0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:52.520 Striker also out of Michigan and the FBI warnings of 0:33:52.520 --> 0:33:55.760 Iranian drones off the California coast. None of this seems to. 0:33:55.680 --> 0:33:57.800 Look at it from the standpoint of terrorism. 0:33:58.320 --> 0:34:01.880 The Iranians for some time have been building the infrastructure, 0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:04.320 not only in the United States but in Europe to 0:34:04.360 --> 0:34:07.480 be able to activate their cells, and so the question is, 0:34:07.560 --> 0:34:09.839 right now, do they have the capacity and do. 0:34:09.760 --> 0:34:12.640 They have the willingness to do this. The willingness is there, 0:34:12.719 --> 0:34:13.399 there's no question. 0:34:13.480 --> 0:34:16.840 They pretty much have segregated their command and control structure 0:34:16.880 --> 0:34:19.759 to let these cells do as they please. But the order, 0:34:19.840 --> 0:34:21.560 I'm pretty sure the order has come out right that 0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:23.840 they want to rize Americans. 0:34:24.120 --> 0:34:28.160 Yeah. I would say the ROTC shooting is one individual. 0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:30.600 He had ties to ISIS, He spent time in prison 0:34:30.680 --> 0:34:33.400 for that, financial support and backing of ISIS, and then 0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:36.360 comes out and does this. As tragic as that is 0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:39.239 because one student did die so as a shooter, thank 0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:41.680 god that that was more of a lone wolf the 0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:44.160 one in Michigan and West Bloomfield, though outside of Detroit. 0:34:44.200 --> 0:34:47.160 The synagogue that the attacker drove a truckloaded with explosives 0:34:47.160 --> 0:34:50.839 into the largest reformed synagogue there one hundred and forty 0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:54.719 kids inside. Fortunately, they were fine and the individual shot 0:34:54.760 --> 0:34:57.600 to death by security. But as far as a tactical 0:34:57.640 --> 0:34:59.320 profile goes here, what does that tell you about the 0:34:59.400 --> 0:35:00.919 level of plan involved in that one. 0:35:02.239 --> 0:35:03.960 It means that they have planned it for a while, 0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:06.040 they were just waiting to execute it, right, So I 0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:09.080 think that that ultimately these folks are getting all their 0:35:09.080 --> 0:35:09.640 tools ready. 0:35:09.640 --> 0:35:11.279 They've had him for some time. And that's what I 0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:11.880 was saying earlier. 0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:14.719 I think the concern right now is how capable and 0:35:14.800 --> 0:35:17.000 how willing are they to go out there and execute 0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:19.800 all of these things. And that's what worries law enforcement 0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:22.520 because these are so difficult to detect and even more 0:35:22.560 --> 0:35:23.480 difficult to prevent. 0:35:24.640 --> 0:35:27.680 Doctor del Carmen on that too. Yeah, you just don't 0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:29.600 wake up and go, okay, I'll get some explosives that 0:35:29.760 --> 0:35:31.520 they had to be sitting on that for a while. 0:35:31.360 --> 0:35:34.640 Right, there's no question and that actually, you know, I'm 0:35:34.680 --> 0:35:36.840 pretty sure they're going to find out as the FBI 0:35:38.040 --> 0:35:40.239 goes into a deep dive here and find out where 0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:42.800 this guy House guy became radicalized. Now he was able 0:35:42.840 --> 0:35:46.000 to acquire all of these explosives. That is probably over 0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:48.400 the course of years that this has actually been planned. 0:35:48.640 --> 0:35:50.360 And like I said, they were probably just waiting for 0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:53.120 that execution order. They received it and off they went. 0:35:53.440 --> 0:35:55.520 Do you think a bombing like that with a truck 0:35:55.520 --> 0:35:58.479 bomb it's one person or does that usually indicate there's 0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:00.760 at least another person, if not more involved. 0:36:01.840 --> 0:36:04.040 It could be one person, but there could be others 0:36:04.040 --> 0:36:06.040 that are at the very least aware of the fact 0:36:06.080 --> 0:36:09.480 that this person is acquiring all these goods for no 0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:12.400 legitimate purposes, right, And they just used not to say anything. 0:36:12.440 --> 0:36:14.360 And that's part of the problem is you've got a 0:36:14.360 --> 0:36:16.560 whole bunch of people that are going to be collaborating 0:36:16.760 --> 0:36:17.680 without them even. 0:36:17.520 --> 0:36:18.640 Knowing that they're collaborating. 0:36:18.640 --> 0:36:20.560 By in some other cases, you know they're going to 0:36:20.560 --> 0:36:22.920 be held accountable, right, And that's what's important for the 0:36:22.960 --> 0:36:23.520 public to know. 0:36:24.480 --> 0:36:28.160 Relative to the shooting at Old Dominion in Norfolk, Virginia, 0:36:28.680 --> 0:36:32.200 this individual served I think seven of eleven years for 0:36:32.320 --> 0:36:35.960 ISIS supporting based on material support of ISIS. They released 0:36:36.000 --> 0:36:38.879 him in December of twenty twenty four. Was this an 0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:42.279 ideologically motivated symbolic target? I mean the targeting itself. I 0:36:42.280 --> 0:36:45.080 guess the question is was he should if he been 0:36:45.080 --> 0:36:47.520 on the radar? Because today there's a lot of second guessing. 0:36:47.600 --> 0:36:50.160 Is wait a minute, this guy was a relative in 0:36:50.200 --> 0:36:53.279 prison for material support of isis he gets out and 0:36:53.320 --> 0:36:55.520 then pulls this stup? Why weren't we watching him? Will 0:36:55.560 --> 0:36:57.719 be the question? Or is that just simply like you 0:36:57.760 --> 0:36:58.800 can't watch everybody? 0:36:59.800 --> 0:37:00.919 That's exactly right? 0:37:01.000 --> 0:37:02.640 A little bit of both, right, So, so on the 0:37:02.680 --> 0:37:06.479 one hand, the FBI has limited capacity to watch every 0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:09.080 single person that's been on the radar screen. But on 0:37:09.120 --> 0:37:11.000 the other hand, they should have been watching this guy 0:37:11.040 --> 0:37:15.239 because this guy obviously had a record and you know, 0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:15.720 and I'm. 0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:18.160 Sure pretty sure that he went about planning this event. 0:37:18.440 --> 0:37:20.920 There must have been some certain own electronic trail of 0:37:21.280 --> 0:37:21.960 some sort. 0:37:21.760 --> 0:37:22.600 That he must have had. 0:37:23.400 --> 0:37:25.160 And the bottom line is that they would have been 0:37:25.200 --> 0:37:27.400 able to prevent it had they been able to identify 0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:27.920 it earlier. 0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:31.720 So you know, I often say, let's give law enforcement. 0:37:31.280 --> 0:37:34.280 And break and you know, this is a huge beast 0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:37.799 to be able to identify all the time and be 0:37:37.880 --> 0:37:39.560 right one hundred percent of the time. But at the 0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:41.920 same time, there are some of these outliers that they 0:37:41.960 --> 0:37:43.759 need to be paying attention to, all right. 0:37:44.320 --> 0:37:46.160 The other thing, too, was he asked if was an 0:37:46.280 --> 0:37:49.640 ROTC class before you open fire, and I think that's 0:37:49.640 --> 0:37:53.760 the statement right there, as he deliberately targeted military student 0:37:53.800 --> 0:37:57.000 students who are in class for reserve officer training in 0:37:57.040 --> 0:37:59.800 an area, by the way, surrounded by military infrastructure. Norfolk 0:37:59.920 --> 0:38:04.160 is is where the Norfolk it's a naval air station there, 0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:07.800 so in airbase, but also aircraft carrieres and alikes. So 0:38:07.920 --> 0:38:12.000 Norfolk huge military community. The fact that he targeted ROTC 0:38:12.160 --> 0:38:16.040 students American military with a war with Iran, that's easy 0:38:16.040 --> 0:38:16.600 to put together. 0:38:16.640 --> 0:38:20.319 That's the statement, that's right. And also keep in mind 0:38:20.360 --> 0:38:22.160 these are soft targets. Right when you go to an 0:38:22.280 --> 0:38:26.239 ROTC place, whether it's in a college or in a 0:38:26.280 --> 0:38:28.920 high school, you often find that people are not armed. 0:38:29.600 --> 0:38:32.400 You know, there's it's really easy to be able to 0:38:32.440 --> 0:38:36.160 access the place and and find real military heroes that 0:38:36.239 --> 0:38:40.360 have been deployed overseas that are now senior reserve officers 0:38:40.560 --> 0:38:43.400 that are simply training the young ones to become officers 0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:43.920 in the future. 0:38:44.080 --> 0:38:44.920 So it's it's. 0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:47.920 Symbolic of not only the target, but also who is 0:38:47.920 --> 0:38:50.480 actually targeting, which is the future officers of the United 0:38:50.520 --> 0:38:51.320 States military. 0:38:52.200 --> 0:38:54.440 So it was ROTC students that killed the gunman in 0:38:54.480 --> 0:38:57.080 the synagogue. It was a private security detail that stopped 0:38:57.080 --> 0:38:59.359 the truck. Attacker crashes in the building, they fire, they 0:38:59.440 --> 0:39:01.759 kill him. No one else heard in that, thank god, 0:39:01.800 --> 0:39:03.800 with all those kids in there. So you had trained 0:39:03.800 --> 0:39:07.360 civilians and trained security person I'll not police the first 0:39:07.480 --> 0:39:10.759 line of defense there. Boy. For those who are saying, hey, listen, 0:39:10.800 --> 0:39:14.240 only police should have guns in law enforcement, that's the problem. 0:39:14.239 --> 0:39:15.920 This is a case for good guys with guns. If 0:39:15.920 --> 0:39:16.480 I ever heard. 0:39:16.320 --> 0:39:19.719 One that, that's exactly right. And for years I've been 0:39:19.719 --> 0:39:20.879 saying that the Second. 0:39:20.560 --> 0:39:23.279 Amendment is as every important as it it's just ever 0:39:23.360 --> 0:39:26.319 bid right, particularly because law enforcement is. 0:39:26.280 --> 0:39:28.120 Rather limited in what it can do. 0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:30.960 They cannot be everywhere all the time, and the good 0:39:31.040 --> 0:39:33.320 guys have to actually be able to have the access 0:39:33.320 --> 0:39:35.280 to the weaponry in order to be able to defend 0:39:35.320 --> 0:39:38.839 their property. They're low ones and everyone else for that matter. 0:39:38.920 --> 0:39:42.200 So absolutely this makes this statement that you know, the 0:39:42.280 --> 0:39:44.479 good people and in society need to be the ice 0:39:44.880 --> 0:39:47.480 and years of law enforcement. The first call to duty 0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:50.080 is to actually be reported if you can, but if 0:39:50.080 --> 0:39:53.799 it requires immediate action, then you basically intervene. 0:39:54.800 --> 0:39:57.600 We saw this with other terrorist attacks. Doctor Alex del 0:39:57.680 --> 0:40:00.640 Carmen from Charleston State University too, is an expert on 0:40:00.680 --> 0:40:03.440 the show on seven hundred WW. The two attacks yesterday 0:40:05.120 --> 0:40:07.920 is that the Oakland County Sheriff there in Michigan said, 0:40:08.120 --> 0:40:10.319 just two weeks ago they're warning about this exact kind 0:40:10.320 --> 0:40:13.320 of attack on juice institutions, law enforcement seas is coming. 0:40:14.560 --> 0:40:17.080 I'm sure there's conspiracies out there already floating around the 0:40:17.080 --> 0:40:19.480 interwebs about how, well, if they knew what it was, 0:40:20.080 --> 0:40:22.200 why didn't they stop this in the first place, Because 0:40:22.440 --> 0:40:24.440 it harkens back to nine to eleven that we kind 0:40:24.480 --> 0:40:27.279 of knew something was up with the increased chatter, but 0:40:27.440 --> 0:40:29.120 we didn't know when, where, and how. 0:40:29.239 --> 0:40:33.880 That's the problem exactly, And just because you have increased chatter, 0:40:34.360 --> 0:40:36.320 it doesn't mean that something's going to happen, right, So 0:40:36.640 --> 0:40:40.520 imagine the thousands of times that law enforcement is exposed 0:40:40.560 --> 0:40:44.759 to the increased chatter, maybe non specific intelligence about you know, 0:40:44.840 --> 0:40:49.040 Americans being heard overseas or domestically, and then all of 0:40:49.080 --> 0:40:51.560 a sudden nothing happens, right, So law enforcement has to 0:40:51.560 --> 0:40:54.520 be careful to be able to assess the origins or 0:40:54.520 --> 0:40:57.480 where the information is coming from, how authentic it is, 0:40:57.840 --> 0:41:01.000 how feasible it is, and whether or not the bad 0:41:01.040 --> 0:41:03.279 guys have the ability to carry it out. I mean, 0:41:03.320 --> 0:41:05.200 you have a lot of Wanta bees right overseas that 0:41:05.600 --> 0:41:08.200 send all sorts of bad wishes to Americans, and we 0:41:08.560 --> 0:41:10.640 have to take everyone seriously. But at the same time 0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:13.200 you also have to dissect which ones are the ones 0:41:13.239 --> 0:41:15.279 that are more realistic and the ones that have the 0:41:15.320 --> 0:41:16.520 capability of doing harm. 0:41:16.640 --> 0:41:20.120 Yeah, exactly. So the FBI is now juggling a synagogue attack, 0:41:20.200 --> 0:41:23.520 we have the university terrorism case RTC shooting. We've got 0:41:23.600 --> 0:41:27.480 the Striker cyber attack, which is massive drone threat warning, 0:41:27.600 --> 0:41:30.640 sleeper selling ourself. All these things are going on simultaneously. 0:41:31.360 --> 0:41:34.600 Is the FBI resourced and organized enough to manage that 0:41:34.680 --> 0:41:36.600 kind of multi threat environment? In your opinion? 0:41:37.840 --> 0:41:40.160 They are well trained, right, But at the same time, 0:41:40.239 --> 0:41:42.520 keep in mind too that many of the FBI agents 0:41:42.840 --> 0:41:43.799 are being sent to. 0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:46.200 Other tasks and so while the world is. 0:41:46.200 --> 0:41:49.080 Still now chaotic in many ways, and they're trying to 0:41:49.120 --> 0:41:51.520 activate all their personnel to try to prevent these things 0:41:51.520 --> 0:41:54.800 from happening and responding to those events that have actually occurred. 0:41:55.200 --> 0:41:58.520 Just to have resources that have to be allocated, personnel 0:41:58.560 --> 0:42:01.759 that you have to hire or bring in as contractors. 0:42:02.080 --> 0:42:04.000 I mean it's a challenge. I mean, I'm not gonna 0:42:04.000 --> 0:42:04.759 I'm gonna lie to you. 0:42:04.800 --> 0:42:08.240 I think it's it's a significant challenge going forward, especially 0:42:08.320 --> 0:42:10.879 if these things increase in the coming months. 0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:14.840 Uh US in intelligence intercept would appear to be encrypted 0:42:14.960 --> 0:42:19.080 radio activation signal after Committee's death, which was possibly meant 0:42:19.080 --> 0:42:21.640 for sleeper cell asses inside the US. And how seriously 0:42:21.680 --> 0:42:24.880 should we take that because I don't know encrypted radio activation? 0:42:24.880 --> 0:42:26.680 Why wouldn't you just call somebody on their cell phone 0:42:26.760 --> 0:42:29.120 or send send some sort of coded email. 0:42:30.560 --> 0:42:32.640 One of the one of the greatest capabilities that the 0:42:32.760 --> 0:42:35.600 United States has in terms of its intelligence resource network 0:42:35.680 --> 0:42:39.759 is audio. Right, So so we hear a lot of 0:42:39.760 --> 0:42:42.080 the things that are going on overseas by the bad 0:42:42.120 --> 0:42:44.120 guys planning bad things against Americans. 0:42:44.520 --> 0:42:47.720 But I will tell you that the encrypted part doesn't 0:42:47.800 --> 0:42:49.920 doesn't really surprise me. That's how they operate. 0:42:50.600 --> 0:42:53.000 I think we absolutely need to take it seriously, and 0:42:53.080 --> 0:42:54.880 we have to assume that more of these attacks are 0:42:54.920 --> 0:42:56.520 going to take place, and we have to take every 0:42:56.520 --> 0:42:57.759 single precaution that we can. 0:42:57.960 --> 0:43:00.239 Yeah, the striker cybertech, I'm talking a lot of about 0:43:00.239 --> 0:43:03.560 that yesterday, Doctor del Carman that's a medical device company. 0:43:03.880 --> 0:43:06.400 You know, we've seen hospital attacks. We had that here 0:43:06.440 --> 0:43:09.680 in the Miami Valley, most recently up in the Dayton area. 0:43:10.320 --> 0:43:12.399 We had that here in Cincinnati a little bit too, 0:43:12.480 --> 0:43:13.920 and we see it all over the place. But this 0:43:14.000 --> 0:43:16.320 one went after a medical device company, not a hospital, 0:43:16.360 --> 0:43:19.240 not a power grid, and you hit the supply chain 0:43:19.320 --> 0:43:22.400 and the medical company that strikers so big it supplies 0:43:22.480 --> 0:43:25.040 all hospitals. They have at least some Striker products in there. 0:43:25.640 --> 0:43:27.840 You hit that in cascades the damage and so what 0:43:27.920 --> 0:43:30.040 are industries now, what do you think they should be 0:43:30.120 --> 0:43:32.160 terrified looking at next? Would it be water? Would it 0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:33.080 be electricity? One? 0:43:34.440 --> 0:43:34.920 Possibly? 0:43:34.960 --> 0:43:36.839 And I think that this was actually one of those 0:43:36.840 --> 0:43:40.120 things where they actually are testing out their capability, right, 0:43:40.200 --> 0:43:43.600 and the effect of that capability. Oftentimes we see these 0:43:43.600 --> 0:43:46.960 in cyber attacks where they basically go towards the random 0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:50.160 you know, medical component in this case, or they can 0:43:50.200 --> 0:43:54.080 go to air you know, limited air component that they 0:43:54.080 --> 0:43:56.880 actually try to disrupt, and all they're trying to see 0:43:57.080 --> 0:43:59.440 is how we react to it, how quickly we react 0:43:59.480 --> 0:44:01.239 to it, and what or not they have an any 0:44:01.280 --> 0:44:04.640 degree or potency of interruption in some of those devices. 0:44:04.640 --> 0:44:07.560 And so I think what I'm bracing myself for and 0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:09.759 what I think a lot of CEOs or this big 0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:12.600 co companies should be concerned about is what's next and 0:44:12.680 --> 0:44:14.879 how capable are they to be able to break into 0:44:14.920 --> 0:44:18.200 those components and then perhaps even limit the water resources 0:44:18.239 --> 0:44:21.040 that have the electric resources that we have the FAA. 0:44:21.480 --> 0:44:23.719 I mean, there's so many things that operate based on 0:44:23.760 --> 0:44:27.719 electronic devices and more importantly the Internet, that I think 0:44:27.719 --> 0:44:30.920 that we are incredibly vulnerable to what they're going to do. 0:44:30.960 --> 0:44:33.120 And and the Iranians are known for that, right. The Arenas 0:44:33.160 --> 0:44:35.759 have a long history of being able to partner with 0:44:35.800 --> 0:44:39.759 the Russians and the Chinese and interrupt the American way 0:44:39.800 --> 0:44:40.480 of life. 0:44:40.760 --> 0:44:41.600 They do it all the time. 0:44:41.719 --> 0:44:43.600 They actually have tackles all the time, just that people 0:44:43.600 --> 0:44:44.279 don't know about it. 0:44:44.360 --> 0:44:47.879 Yeah, yeah, you have all these attacks happening simultaneously. Wonder 0:44:47.880 --> 0:44:49.680 where the next shoe is to drop? And the one 0:44:49.680 --> 0:44:52.880 that hasn't fortunately taken place is we had intelligence that 0:44:53.120 --> 0:44:55.360 Iranian drones could be launch from a vessel off the 0:44:55.360 --> 0:44:59.000 California coast. They have an established presence, meaning Iran and 0:44:59.040 --> 0:45:02.400 their operators in Mexico and in South America. How realistic. 0:45:02.400 --> 0:45:03.120 A thread is that. 0:45:04.520 --> 0:45:06.280 I think it can it can't happen. 0:45:06.560 --> 0:45:08.279 I don't know that I would be worried about it 0:45:08.320 --> 0:45:10.720 per se, you know, way forward in the next couple 0:45:10.719 --> 0:45:11.080 of days. 0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:12.480 But you know, I think that the. 0:45:12.440 --> 0:45:14.360 Fact that this is out and for the public to 0:45:14.400 --> 0:45:17.440 consume it means that they have enough information and that 0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:19.400 is feasible that they could do this right. They're not 0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:21.920 just going to bring this up as a hypothetical and. 0:45:21.880 --> 0:45:23.759 We're going to dream about it overnight and then let 0:45:23.800 --> 0:45:26.520 people worry about it. There has to be some many diligence. 0:45:26.840 --> 0:45:27.959 I'm guessing that they would. 0:45:27.960 --> 0:45:30.720 They would simply be able to put together that says, look, 0:45:30.719 --> 0:45:33.400 they have the capability, they have their resources, and they 0:45:33.400 --> 0:45:36.000 can in fact do it. I have no doubt that 0:45:36.560 --> 0:45:39.480 there are many plans taking place for now on how 0:45:39.480 --> 0:45:42.920 to harm Americans, both overseas and in the homeland. And 0:45:43.239 --> 0:45:45.359 we have to we have to be vigilant twenty four 0:45:45.400 --> 0:45:48.080 to seven, especially now in the coming months. 0:45:48.000 --> 0:45:50.440 Because you have the war in Iran, you have Iranian 0:45:50.440 --> 0:45:53.760 link cyber operations we're talking about against corporations and probably 0:45:53.800 --> 0:45:56.319 more are coming. You got sleeper cell warnings, you got 0:45:56.360 --> 0:45:59.040 drone alerts, you got two Domestica tear attacks in single 0:45:59.120 --> 0:46:02.880 day yesterday. Do we need to pivot our national response here? 0:46:02.880 --> 0:46:05.680 Are Are we still organized like we were for nine 0:46:05.680 --> 0:46:09.600 to eleven because this is happening on different platforms all simultaneously. 0:46:09.640 --> 0:46:11.839 Do we need to regroup and rethink about how we 0:46:11.880 --> 0:46:14.279 attack terrorism here? Well? 0:46:14.520 --> 0:46:16.440 I think that part of the issue is, you know, 0:46:16.480 --> 0:46:20.320 we have a partial government shutdown, we have limited resources 0:46:20.360 --> 0:46:22.880 that are being fed into the fetch right now. You know, 0:46:23.000 --> 0:46:26.600 our attention is overseas right now, trying to provide resources 0:46:26.600 --> 0:46:29.839 to our military. We've got several campaigns going on at 0:46:29.840 --> 0:46:32.640 the same time. We've got Ukraine, don't forget about Venezuela 0:46:32.680 --> 0:46:34.319 and some of the things that are still going on 0:46:34.760 --> 0:46:37.280 over there, you know. And then now you have you around, 0:46:37.360 --> 0:46:40.680 you have the UAE being involved, you have the the Saudas, 0:46:40.760 --> 0:46:43.920 You've got the you know, the oil import capabilities. 0:46:44.200 --> 0:46:44.879 All of that is. 0:46:44.800 --> 0:46:47.879 Happening at once, and the economy is being affected, right 0:46:47.920 --> 0:46:49.680 and so all of these things take a lot of 0:46:49.719 --> 0:46:51.759 money and resources, and so where's the money going to 0:46:51.800 --> 0:46:52.120 come from? 0:46:52.120 --> 0:46:52.720 At some point? 0:46:53.080 --> 0:46:54.960 Once these barrels of oil are going to be at 0:46:54.960 --> 0:46:57.239 two hundred and three hundred dollars a barrel. 0:46:57.040 --> 0:47:02.840 No question. Before the synagogue attacker and the Old Dominion attacker, no, 0:47:03.000 --> 0:47:05.480 Typically we catch people and interrogate them and find it. 0:47:05.880 --> 0:47:08.800 But they're both dead, so no interrogation, we can't harvest 0:47:08.880 --> 0:47:12.480 intelligence there. How much does that set the investigation back 0:47:12.560 --> 0:47:12.920 or does it? 0:47:14.360 --> 0:47:16.520 I think it does to some degree. But the assumption 0:47:16.640 --> 0:47:17.759 is that bad guys are going to. 0:47:17.680 --> 0:47:19.719 Talk to us after they're being arrested, right, And many 0:47:19.760 --> 0:47:22.640 of these people are so radicalized that they're not going 0:47:22.719 --> 0:47:25.120 to be talking to us anyway, So I would say 0:47:25.120 --> 0:47:26.320 that it's limited. 0:47:26.360 --> 0:47:28.080 Of course, we always like to have people in are 0:47:28.120 --> 0:47:28.719 a lives. 0:47:28.719 --> 0:47:30.919 Talk to us and tell us why, perhaps even brag 0:47:30.960 --> 0:47:33.400 about it, so that we can gather intel. But the 0:47:33.480 --> 0:47:36.520 reality is we have digital intelligence that we're always going 0:47:36.560 --> 0:47:39.280 to be able to access. Right who these people were texting, 0:47:39.280 --> 0:47:40.480 who these people calling? 0:47:41.160 --> 0:47:42.960 Where did they buy some of the stuff. 0:47:42.680 --> 0:47:45.319 That they bought? Have they been overseas? Do they have 0:47:45.320 --> 0:47:46.879 any relatives that could have helped them? 0:47:47.120 --> 0:47:48.359 All of those questions are going. 0:47:48.280 --> 0:47:50.239 To have answers, and that's all intel that we gather. 0:47:50.520 --> 0:47:52.520 Sometimes we don't prosecute on it because we don't have 0:47:52.640 --> 0:47:55.040 enough to do so. But we certainly have enough information 0:47:55.080 --> 0:47:57.640 to be able to track down where the resources came from. 0:47:57.640 --> 0:48:00.800 Should we expect more micro events like this where they're 0:48:01.360 --> 0:48:05.640 connected obviously because of Iran, but not coordinated in much 0:48:05.680 --> 0:48:08.120 like it was nine to eleven? Can we expect more 0:48:08.160 --> 0:48:12.239 attacks like this, cyber attacks and everything included, versus one 0:48:12.320 --> 0:48:15.480 big attack on America like we saw back in two 0:48:15.520 --> 0:48:16.040 thousand and one. 0:48:17.239 --> 0:48:18.720 I think we can expect anything. 0:48:19.080 --> 0:48:20.719 To be honest with you, I wish I could rule 0:48:20.760 --> 0:48:22.920 some things out, but the reality is that. 0:48:22.800 --> 0:48:25.000 We don't know what we don't know about these. 0:48:24.880 --> 0:48:27.600 Bad actors, and quite frankly, we have to be ready 0:48:27.600 --> 0:48:29.799 for a ninety eleven type of response. We have to 0:48:29.840 --> 0:48:32.520 be ready for what they're going to imagine and how 0:48:32.520 --> 0:48:34.799 they're going to be harming Americas. But remember that part 0:48:34.800 --> 0:48:36.920 of the ninety eleven scenario why they. 0:48:36.920 --> 0:48:39.359 Hurt us so badly, aside from the loss of life 0:48:39.360 --> 0:48:39.680 from that. 0:48:39.719 --> 0:48:42.080 Day, was the fact that we could have never imagined 0:48:42.440 --> 0:48:45.319 people were going to be, you know, flying airplanes into 0:48:45.360 --> 0:48:47.919 buildings and killing in US, in Americans, and so part 0:48:47.960 --> 0:48:50.040 of it is the imagination that bad guys have. 0:48:50.400 --> 0:48:51.840 We have to be ahead of that, and we have 0:48:51.920 --> 0:48:53.560 to we have to think the unthinkable. 0:48:53.719 --> 0:48:56.719 Yeah, one hundred percent. Doctor Alex Dell Kerman is a 0:48:56.800 --> 0:49:00.319 terrorist mass shooting expert at Tarlatan State University. Thanks jumping 0:49:00.320 --> 0:49:01.440 on this morning. I appreciate it. 0:49:02.200 --> 0:49:02.920 Thanks for having me. 0:49:03.080 --> 0:49:05.560 Take care. We've got a news update here just seconds away. 0:49:05.600 --> 0:49:06.799 And the big one, that's the thing is we have 0:49:06.800 --> 0:49:09.120 all these day we have, you know, the cyber attack 0:49:09.160 --> 0:49:11.400 element to me is the big one because much of 0:49:11.440 --> 0:49:14.200 the stuff, whether it's bombings, gun attacks and like it's 0:49:14.280 --> 0:49:16.520 it's going to contin and we've had it ever since 0:49:16.560 --> 0:49:19.520 for sure, but those are more isolated than one central 0:49:19.520 --> 0:49:21.960 big attack which could still possibly happen. And he said, 0:49:22.000 --> 0:49:23.640 but the cyber attack thing, to me is the one 0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:26.080 that I mean literally you want to bring America down 0:49:26.080 --> 0:49:28.880 to its knees is start messing with the infrastructure, the grid. 0:49:29.440 --> 0:49:32.120 Look at the Striker thing and how they're able to 0:49:32.200 --> 0:49:34.840 basically wipe out all of the data from a company 0:49:34.920 --> 0:49:37.920 and one file of the backups and everything that they 0:49:37.960 --> 0:49:40.319 have no data left whatsoever, everything that was in the 0:49:40.320 --> 0:49:42.480 cloud and their system's completely wiped out and gone in 0:49:42.520 --> 0:49:45.320 the backups too. And it's not a malware attack and 0:49:45.520 --> 0:49:47.560 not ho was sitting hostage and saying, hey, pay us money, 0:49:47.560 --> 0:49:50.440 we'll give you the information back. It's gone. I mean, 0:49:50.480 --> 0:49:53.440 think about that. We have P and G, we have banking, 0:49:53.920 --> 0:49:56.920 we have sententimes, we have all sorts of big companies 0:49:56.920 --> 0:49:59.760 like that, just in Cincinnati alone. It's frightening, isn't it sloany? 0:50:00.000 --> 0:50:07.400 Seven hundred w all the here we go, Big Sexy 0:50:07.560 --> 0:50:11.440 is here Austin elmore over on ESPN fifteen thirty in 0:50:11.560 --> 0:50:14.120 on his day off. Technically, because you have what Kentucky 0:50:14.160 --> 0:50:16.040 basketball today, on third. 0:50:15.840 --> 0:50:19.680 Day in a row. Kentucky Basketball has preempted our shows. 0:50:19.680 --> 0:50:23.360 How about that they still be here. Yeah, that's great 0:50:23.360 --> 0:50:26.000 for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. In the state of Ohio, however, 0:50:26.120 --> 0:50:30.680 specifically Southwest Ohio, we suck. Not good, dude, not good 0:50:30.719 --> 0:50:34.080 at all. We suck. Let's begin with the obvious one. 0:50:34.120 --> 0:50:36.239 Here is the fact that the UMass took care of 0:50:36.280 --> 0:50:40.280 Miami's perfect record eighty seven eighty three. The eight seed 0:50:40.360 --> 0:50:43.959 upsets the number one, and Miami finishes a regular season 0:50:44.000 --> 0:50:47.120 at thirty one and oh now their best hope is 0:50:47.160 --> 0:50:49.960 for an at large NCAA. But I think this is 0:50:49.960 --> 0:50:52.360 the fear that they lose their in the tournament. In 0:50:52.360 --> 0:50:55.680 the MAC Tournament, and now it's a coin toss whether 0:50:55.760 --> 0:50:58.640 than they make the field of for the NCAA tournament. 0:50:58.960 --> 0:51:01.120 Yeah, it's one thing to lose in the NCAA Tournament 0:51:01.200 --> 0:51:03.440 or to lose in the MAC Tournament. It's another thing 0:51:03.480 --> 0:51:06.759 to lose the first game in the MAC tournament. Uh, 0:51:06.800 --> 0:51:09.360 not even getting to the semi finals or to the final. 0:51:09.480 --> 0:51:12.600 But I think thirty one to zero perfect regular season, 0:51:12.719 --> 0:51:15.759 I think that's enough for Miami to get in, even 0:51:15.840 --> 0:51:18.720 though they lost that game to UMass yesterday. 0:51:18.800 --> 0:51:21.600 Yeah, because some actually saying no chance. But you know, 0:51:21.800 --> 0:51:23.840 last time this happened was ninety nine. I remember this. 0:51:23.960 --> 0:51:28.440 It was on Miami and Kent right that both made it. 0:51:28.520 --> 0:51:30.879 As one was say at large, I don't know why 0:51:30.920 --> 0:51:32.880 they can't happen again. I mean, I know that there's 0:51:32.920 --> 0:51:35.600 bigger schools out there, but there's a number of teams 0:51:35.640 --> 0:51:37.759 getting in that just don't pass the sniff test. Miami 0:51:37.760 --> 0:51:40.120 at least does perfect record. You gotta give them something, Yeah, I. 0:51:40.080 --> 0:51:42.560 Agree, I mean they always everybody wants to talk about 0:51:42.560 --> 0:51:45.000 their strength to schedule being three hundred and fortieth or 0:51:45.000 --> 0:51:47.600 whatever all that, but the other teams that are three 0:51:47.680 --> 0:51:49.640 hundred and thirty ninth and three hundred and forty. First, 0:51:49.640 --> 0:51:53.479 they're not undefeated. Miami went undefeated. They still were able 0:51:53.600 --> 0:51:55.200 to do that. And on top of that, some of 0:51:55.239 --> 0:51:57.880 these other teams that have been quote unquote bubble teams 0:51:58.000 --> 0:52:01.000 over the last week or so, they keep losing. Cincinnati 0:52:01.080 --> 0:52:04.440 is a perfect example of that. I think the best 0:52:04.440 --> 0:52:06.040 team that kind of was on the bubble over the 0:52:06.120 --> 0:52:08.280 last two weeks has actually been Ohio State. They've gotten 0:52:08.320 --> 0:52:11.400 hot and they've basically secured their spot in the NCAA tournament. 0:52:11.440 --> 0:52:14.920 But outside of that, nobody really wants to be in 0:52:14.960 --> 0:52:18.640 the tournament. Auburn lost again yesterday, So I think Miami 0:52:18.719 --> 0:52:19.320 is safe. 0:52:19.320 --> 0:52:22.120 Okay on that, and you know you want to see 0:52:22.120 --> 0:52:23.879 Miami and at least when go through the first round, 0:52:23.920 --> 0:52:26.480 hopefully get in the tournament. For sure, there are best 0:52:26.520 --> 0:52:28.640 hopes because u SE is out of it completely lost 0:52:28.640 --> 0:52:31.360 in ot and I have never seen and I've followed 0:52:31.400 --> 0:52:33.640 Cincinnati sports as long i've been here into the Bearcats. 0:52:33.640 --> 0:52:36.160 I've got bear Cat alums of my family that are 0:52:36.239 --> 0:52:39.920 just our season ticket holders, ravenous Bearcat fans, and I've 0:52:39.960 --> 0:52:42.480 become one through osmosis, and I have never seen the 0:52:42.480 --> 0:52:45.200 fan base this angry about a loss in a long time. Yeah, 0:52:45.239 --> 0:52:46.040 they should be angry. 0:52:46.080 --> 0:52:48.440 I mean they blew another lead, and this time to 0:52:48.480 --> 0:52:52.080 a team that in UCF that certainly is beatable. They 0:52:52.120 --> 0:52:54.520 were in position to win that game and. 0:52:56.640 --> 0:52:59.680 Just left. I mean, it's you can't you can't collapse 0:52:59.760 --> 0:53:00.000 like that. 0:53:00.280 --> 0:53:02.759 They did what they have done repeatedly over the West 0:53:02.760 --> 0:53:05.279 Miller era, which is that they go ice cold in 0:53:05.280 --> 0:53:08.640 the biggest moments on offense and they are brain dead 0:53:08.680 --> 0:53:10.560 the rest of the way. I mean, you can't get 0:53:10.560 --> 0:53:13.600 the ball over the timeline, results in a ten second violation, 0:53:14.160 --> 0:53:18.600 absolutely inexcusable, and then Wes Miller himself calls a time 0:53:18.640 --> 0:53:21.640 out with less than a second left because he was 0:53:21.680 --> 0:53:24.320 afraid they were going to sub that sort of stuff 0:53:24.400 --> 0:53:26.920 right there, as Terry Nelson put it. And good on 0:53:27.040 --> 0:53:30.919 Terry for saying it is low IQ basketball. He didn't 0:53:31.000 --> 0:53:33.920 use this word, but I will. They're a stupid basketball team, 0:53:34.040 --> 0:53:36.160 and I think that's a reflection of their head coach, 0:53:36.400 --> 0:53:38.600 who has repeatedly failed. 0:53:38.239 --> 0:53:41.000 In the biggest moments over and over and over again. Yeah, 0:53:41.040 --> 0:53:43.879 and sadly enough, because of the protection's nature, this whole 0:53:43.920 --> 0:53:46.239 thing is there are two losses for use Yester, you 0:53:46.280 --> 0:53:50.920 lost that game against UCF, but he also lost. Sean Trick. 0:53:51.600 --> 0:53:53.319 I saw that he was angry and he puts up 0:53:53.360 --> 0:53:55.040 up in the universe, is like, well, we expect to 0:53:55.200 --> 0:53:57.160 you expect more positive as an alumni, and he's like, 0:53:57.200 --> 0:53:58.640 the hell with you, guys, I want to talk about 0:53:58.680 --> 0:54:00.440 you again. It's so stupid. 0:54:00.520 --> 0:54:03.040 It's so stupid for people to act like that and 0:54:03.080 --> 0:54:05.800 think like everybody has to be able to be a 0:54:06.400 --> 0:54:07.000 boot licker. 0:54:07.120 --> 0:54:09.960 Yeah, Like, that's just so stupid, insane. You played like crap. 0:54:10.160 --> 0:54:13.319 Yeah, all right, so you should demand and want and 0:54:13.440 --> 0:54:14.319 expect more. 0:54:14.640 --> 0:54:17.560 Yeah did so? This is this, It is this the 0:54:17.560 --> 0:54:19.880 the tipping point. And the tipping point is not the 0:54:19.880 --> 0:54:22.719 fans are angry and the way they lost this thing, 0:54:23.040 --> 0:54:27.680 but it's the alumni in specifically the boosters. Is change coming? 0:54:28.200 --> 0:54:30.880 That's a good question. That's a good question, man, because so, like, 0:54:31.080 --> 0:54:31.360 I mean, he. 0:54:31.400 --> 0:54:33.600 Saved his job near the end and then this one 0:54:33.719 --> 0:54:35.640 any good. Oh yeah, just totally blow up at the 0:54:35.640 --> 0:54:37.200 beginning of the year. You got to remember, at the 0:54:37.239 --> 0:54:40.839 beginning of the year, it was NC doublea tournament or bust. Yes, 0:54:41.080 --> 0:54:44.640 that was the goal. And I have remained steadfast in 0:54:44.640 --> 0:54:47.000 my belief this entire time. I'm not going to move 0:54:47.040 --> 0:54:49.440 the goalposts on Wes Miller. He needs to make the 0:54:49.520 --> 0:54:52.359 nc double A tournament. We've gone through this season where 0:54:52.400 --> 0:54:55.280 he's had meltdowns in the postgame interviews with Dan and Terry. 0:54:55.520 --> 0:54:58.160 He had a meltdown in the tunnel. He was crying 0:54:58.239 --> 0:55:01.160 on one of the post games. He's brought back Jisel 0:55:01.239 --> 0:55:03.920 James randomly in the middle of the season. They've blown 0:55:03.960 --> 0:55:04.799 these leads. 0:55:04.560 --> 0:55:06.200 Then they played like a top five team in the 0:55:06.200 --> 0:55:08.600 country for two weeks, and then they did this again. 0:55:09.080 --> 0:55:11.520 But for me, the goalpost has never moved, which is 0:55:11.760 --> 0:55:13.760 you have to make the NCAA tournament. 0:55:14.200 --> 0:55:14.439 Now. 0:55:14.520 --> 0:55:17.160 I've heard over the last couple of weeks that he 0:55:17.280 --> 0:55:19.920 did save his job and that the people that are 0:55:19.960 --> 0:55:23.400 in charge of facilitating the finances to that program like 0:55:23.440 --> 0:55:25.800 west Miller and they want him to be the head coach. 0:55:25.960 --> 0:55:28.759 I don't know how you can justify that, especially the 0:55:28.760 --> 0:55:30.640 way the UCF thing has gone. And I talked to 0:55:30.680 --> 0:55:33.440 somebody this morning who said, now they think it's sixty 0:55:33.520 --> 0:55:36.200 forty he loses his job. So I don't know that 0:55:36.239 --> 0:55:38.359 they know what they want to do now. The big 0:55:38.400 --> 0:55:41.279 thing is on April first, the buyout drops down quite 0:55:41.280 --> 0:55:43.560 a bit. It drops down to, like, I think, under 0:55:43.560 --> 0:55:48.479 five million dollars. Can you afford to wait that long? 0:55:48.800 --> 0:55:52.200 And this this it was like you see who's available 0:55:52.239 --> 0:55:54.839 on April first, right, If someone's available, then you make 0:55:54.880 --> 0:55:56.520 the move. If not, you're kind of married to it 0:55:56.560 --> 0:56:01.080 for the foreseeable future. And so bearkafans frustrated. They should 0:56:01.120 --> 0:56:03.720 be frustrated. They shouldn't keep their mouths shut. They should 0:56:03.800 --> 0:56:07.200 demand better from this university. It has been really embarrassing 0:56:07.239 --> 0:56:09.000 to watch them melt down again. All right, So from 0:56:09.040 --> 0:56:13.600 Clifton to lack of victory Parkway, Yukon smokes Xavier ninety 0:56:13.640 --> 0:56:17.160 three sixty eight. I mean, and it's they've got their number. 0:56:17.239 --> 0:56:19.880 Yukon's a great team. Xavier isn't at this point. I mean, 0:56:19.880 --> 0:56:22.200 you think most people agree they're trending in the right direction, 0:56:22.320 --> 0:56:23.719 but just absolutely smoked it. 0:56:23.760 --> 0:56:25.520 Yeah, Xavior was a feel good story for a little 0:56:25.560 --> 0:56:27.919 bit this season, and then they weren't as they got 0:56:27.920 --> 0:56:29.920 deeper into Big East play and it gets harder and 0:56:29.920 --> 0:56:33.000 harder in that conference to play, and then obviously going 0:56:33.080 --> 0:56:36.840 up against Yukon and the Big East Tournament is no 0:56:36.960 --> 0:56:40.160 easy task. Richard Patino said it earlier. This year, needs 0:56:40.200 --> 0:56:44.040 more money, needs more resources. They're building this thing. I 0:56:44.080 --> 0:56:46.239 think Xavier fans understand that. I think so too, and 0:56:46.280 --> 0:56:47.920 they're patient about it. You got the right guy in there. 0:56:47.920 --> 0:56:50.759 It looks like most NAVI fans I think like what 0:56:50.800 --> 0:56:53.480 he's doing, and program's head of the right direction. Where 0:56:53.520 --> 0:56:55.640 you see just seems like it's stagged. And that's the battle. 0:56:55.640 --> 0:56:57.800 It's not necessarily the teams you play in your conference. 0:56:57.840 --> 0:57:01.399 It's bragging rights here in Cincinnati. Huge, Yeah, without a doubt. 0:57:01.440 --> 0:57:03.680 That's the big That's the big one right there. Let's 0:57:03.680 --> 0:57:04.680 pivot to Red's real quick. 0:57:04.680 --> 0:57:06.200 Got a lot of sports news this morning with Audi 0:57:06.239 --> 0:57:09.640 here on seven hundred WLW. Season open for Boston is 0:57:09.880 --> 0:57:12.520 March twenty six. We're inside that two week window already. 0:57:12.560 --> 0:57:15.240 It's hard to believe Terry Francona set his starting rotation 0:57:15.360 --> 0:57:19.600 now with Hunter greenout, it's Abbott, Lodolo and Singa in 0:57:19.680 --> 0:57:22.160 that order against the Boston Red Sox a couple of 0:57:22.200 --> 0:57:25.680 weeks out, back to back lefties, and the Reds like 0:57:25.760 --> 0:57:29.040 to do this because you know, the matchup game that 0:57:29.120 --> 0:57:32.520 so many managers like to play across Major League baseball, 0:57:32.560 --> 0:57:34.440 if you can throw two lefties at a team that 0:57:34.440 --> 0:57:36.600 can really mess with their offense, and I think that's 0:57:36.600 --> 0:57:38.160 what the Reds are trying to do in a lot 0:57:38.160 --> 0:57:40.280 of these series, to have Abbott and Lodolo go back 0:57:40.280 --> 0:57:40.720 to back. 0:57:41.160 --> 0:57:44.120 Now there's a split view on that mindset. Some would rather, 0:57:44.520 --> 0:57:48.160 you know, separate them and go every other day when 0:57:48.160 --> 0:57:50.600 they're pitching, but the Reds like this idea of them 0:57:50.640 --> 0:57:52.360 going back to back, and it's probably going to be 0:57:52.400 --> 0:57:54.800 the same way for Boston. Boston's going to start Garrett 0:57:54.800 --> 0:57:58.120 Crochet on opening Day, followed by their big offseason acquisition 0:57:58.200 --> 0:58:01.160 Ranger Suarez, who's also left hand, so we might see 0:58:01.160 --> 0:58:02.840 a lot of South Paul's the first couple of games. 0:58:02.880 --> 0:58:04.800 Last week, we talked about the Hunter Green thing, which 0:58:04.880 --> 0:58:07.959 is just a head scratching, awful setback because that's your ace. 0:58:08.040 --> 0:58:09.480 We had another picture go down this week. 0:58:09.680 --> 0:58:12.600 Yeah, Caleb Ferguson, who was one of their off season acquisitions, 0:58:12.640 --> 0:58:15.400 another left hander that was pitching pretty well and is 0:58:15.520 --> 0:58:17.200 expected to be a big part of the bullpen. He 0:58:17.240 --> 0:58:20.400 goes down with an oblique injury, so he's gonna miss 0:58:20.440 --> 0:58:23.200 the start of the season. He'll start the season on Io. 0:58:23.320 --> 0:58:25.280 We don't know how severe it is. I don't know. 0:58:26.240 --> 0:58:28.360 It's like, yeah, points, you've got to be really careful 0:58:28.360 --> 0:58:30.360 with it. So I'm sure they will, especially since it's 0:58:30.400 --> 0:58:33.600 early and hopefully you know, I've two weeks to get ready. 0:58:33.720 --> 0:58:36.440 Can you'll get back with I'll missing a ton of time. 0:58:36.520 --> 0:58:39.280 Yeah, hopefully no blisters be the other big thing that 0:58:39.320 --> 0:58:41.160 seems to bring pictures down, specially for the Reds. 0:58:41.240 --> 0:58:44.240 Lodolo especially, he has had a history of blister problems 0:58:45.000 --> 0:58:46.680 and I know that they've worked on that and they've 0:58:46.720 --> 0:58:49.320 tried different stuff with it, but it gets pretty thin. 0:58:49.360 --> 0:58:51.080 If Lodolo goes down. I got a problem there, So 0:58:51.160 --> 0:58:53.080 let's let's keep up. He should be rubbing his fingers 0:58:53.080 --> 0:58:55.800 of sandpaper every night before bed like that tough of those. 0:58:56.320 --> 0:58:57.800 Sure do it. 0:59:00.040 --> 0:59:05.160 I'm not kidding. Jeff Brantley said something along those. It's like, 0:59:05.200 --> 0:59:05.600 you should do. 0:59:07.200 --> 0:59:10.560 What it was, whatever it takes, get that skin, get 0:59:10.560 --> 0:59:13.240 blisters going down. We use lotion, right, stay away from 0:59:13.240 --> 0:59:15.560 the half the people here. Don't wash your hands. Yeah, 0:59:15.600 --> 0:59:19.120 no pop olive, none of that whatsoever. All right, So 0:59:19.440 --> 0:59:20.800 I felt like kind of we're bearing the lead a 0:59:20.840 --> 0:59:22.560 little bit, but I mean, college basketball is big. Wanted 0:59:22.560 --> 0:59:24.080 to get the little Red shout out in there as 0:59:24.120 --> 0:59:27.520 well with the preseason spring training winding down before they 0:59:27.600 --> 0:59:29.200 break camp and come back here. But of course the 0:59:29.200 --> 0:59:31.600 big story in Cincinnati now was the hope of not 0:59:31.640 --> 0:59:34.120 just the Reds, but now the Bengals. So in previous 0:59:34.200 --> 0:59:36.760 off seasons, we've he's seen our I don't want to 0:59:36.800 --> 0:59:39.560 say general manager, but the guy called Duke Tobin say 0:59:39.600 --> 0:59:41.840 we're gonna make some big We're gonna do this and 0:59:41.880 --> 0:59:43.880 it's going to be the greatest, and then there's nothing. 0:59:44.480 --> 0:59:47.320 I feel like, finally this time around, we're doing something. 0:59:47.880 --> 0:59:50.880 They've done something, something, something better than they have in 0:59:50.880 --> 0:59:52.720 the past. Let's just let's go down before we get 0:59:52.720 --> 0:59:56.800 the overview. Here, they get Jonathan Jonathan Allen, thirty one 0:59:56.880 --> 0:59:59.240 year old defensive tackle. Took a couple of days in 0:59:59.280 --> 1:00:03.080 negotiation there the third defensive edition this week because, as 1:00:03.080 --> 1:00:06.840 we know, the worst run defense in the National Football League. 1:00:07.240 --> 1:00:10.120 What does he bring to the table alongside BJ Hill, TJ. Slaton, 1:00:10.200 --> 1:00:13.960 Chris Jenkins. You got, yeah, what veteran leadership. 1:00:14.040 --> 1:00:15.960 This is this guy who's been a Walter Payton May 1:00:16.040 --> 1:00:19.160 of the Year nominee, And that was something that you know, 1:00:19.240 --> 1:00:22.560 Duke Tobin and Al Golden both talked about this offseason 1:00:22.640 --> 1:00:24.320 is we need somebody who can be a leader in 1:00:24.360 --> 1:00:26.560 that room, a veteran that can step up and be that. 1:00:27.120 --> 1:00:29.880 Now he's lost some juice over the last couple of years. 1:00:29.880 --> 1:00:32.520 His numbers have kind of steadily declined. There are some 1:00:32.640 --> 1:00:36.160 that believe him in Minnesota last year was not necessarily 1:00:36.240 --> 1:00:39.000 the right fit for what Brian Flores, the decordinator there, 1:00:39.520 --> 1:00:43.880 wanted to do. But he still generates solid pass rush 1:00:44.000 --> 1:00:46.760 numbers from the interior and that's something that the Bengals need. 1:00:46.880 --> 1:00:48.960 He needs to get better against the run. The Bengals 1:00:49.000 --> 1:00:51.000 as a whole need to get better against the run. 1:00:51.280 --> 1:00:53.280 The way I look at it is you're paying a 1:00:53.320 --> 1:00:56.160 thirty one year old, very similar type of player to 1:00:56.240 --> 1:00:59.440 bj Hill, and you're hoping that the leadership that he 1:00:59.480 --> 1:01:03.000 provides is going to have an impact on that entire defense. 1:01:03.120 --> 1:01:05.560 And also you look at him and say, okay, well 1:01:05.560 --> 1:01:08.560 he's better than Chris Jenkins, he's better than McKinley Jackson, 1:01:09.000 --> 1:01:11.840 He's better than the guys that are currently slated to stars. 1:01:11.840 --> 1:01:13.760 So in that sense, it's a net posit. It's a 1:01:13.800 --> 1:01:15.960 decent upgrade he get an older guy. But again, year 1:01:16.000 --> 1:01:18.840 thirty one is kind of Yeah, just to be clear, 1:01:18.840 --> 1:01:21.600 you're not signing Aaron Donald, you're not signing Geno Atkins, 1:01:21.640 --> 1:01:24.720 you're not signing Tim Krumrai, right, but you're signing a 1:01:24.720 --> 1:01:26.760 guy who's better than who you currently have. Yeah, you're 1:01:26.800 --> 1:01:29.440 not gonna get Max Crosby, but you're gonna, right, you're 1:01:29.440 --> 1:01:30.720 gonna get Boyd Maviy. 1:01:30.840 --> 1:01:33.560 So we added him as well. Yeah, boy a Mafe. 1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:35.120 This is a dude that I think a lot of 1:01:35.120 --> 1:01:37.840 people feel is similar to the mold of Trey Henderson 1:01:37.880 --> 1:01:40.720 in that twenty one offseason in the sense of he 1:01:40.720 --> 1:01:43.040 didn't necessarily get as much playing time because of the 1:01:43.160 --> 1:01:45.720 rotations and the scheme that Seattle had, but when he 1:01:45.880 --> 1:01:48.760 was on the field, he was generating some pressures. He 1:01:48.920 --> 1:01:52.440 was winning the pass rush win rate metric that ESPN 1:01:52.520 --> 1:01:55.600 uses really likes him. Those underlying metrics suggest this is 1:01:55.640 --> 1:01:58.320 a guy who's ready to break out. He's athletic, he's 1:01:58.320 --> 1:02:00.880 got heavy hands. He'd a much much, much much better 1:02:00.920 --> 1:02:05.360 run defender, yeah than Trey Hendrickson was. So for that reason, yeah, 1:02:05.400 --> 1:02:08.480 that's that's a good addition, and you hopefully can get 1:02:08.480 --> 1:02:10.640 the production that you got from Trey Hendrickson kind of 1:02:10.640 --> 1:02:11.440 in that same. 1:02:11.280 --> 1:02:14.880 Moment it was injured too, so you know, I was downside. 1:02:14.880 --> 1:02:17.120 We'll see what he does. The high bar, but it's yeah, 1:02:17.160 --> 1:02:19.280 definitely a high bar. But I like the run defense 1:02:19.320 --> 1:02:21.760 and that's huge. Yeah, and that is a big part 1:02:21.760 --> 1:02:24.080 of it. Like it's one thing to have pass rushers, 1:02:24.080 --> 1:02:26.560 but pass rushers don't matter if it's third and two correct, 1:02:26.880 --> 1:02:28.680 and you've got to be able to get into third 1:02:28.720 --> 1:02:31.080 and longer in those situations. Yeah, but you had those guys. 1:02:31.120 --> 1:02:34.000 That means Shamar Stewart, Miles Murphy take that next big step, 1:02:34.320 --> 1:02:36.480 you hope. So, yeah, you'd hope that those can do that. 1:02:36.520 --> 1:02:36.840 You're good. 1:02:36.880 --> 1:02:39.880 You know, they've talked a lot about force multipliers. You're 1:02:39.920 --> 1:02:43.120 hoping that these guys become force multipliers and make everybody better. 1:02:43.240 --> 1:02:43.400 You know. 1:02:43.440 --> 1:02:46.200 I really like the Brian Cook situation and signing him, 1:02:46.200 --> 1:02:48.880 because here's a guy who you know loves Cincinnati's watching 1:02:48.880 --> 1:02:51.360 the tournament, watching you see in the tournament, watch them 1:02:51.480 --> 1:02:55.479 lose right before he has press conference, Uh, mount healthy guy. 1:02:55.640 --> 1:02:58.920 You see, guy has rings with k C. He brings 1:02:58.960 --> 1:03:01.600 that the Cincinnati I love that. Yeah, And on a 1:03:02.200 --> 1:03:03.400 deal that makes a lot of sense. 1:03:03.440 --> 1:03:05.520 The Engles finally look around and say, Okay, we got 1:03:05.560 --> 1:03:07.400 to fix this safety position that we screwed up with 1:03:07.480 --> 1:03:11.520 Jesse Bates. And this dude is the complete antithesis of 1:03:11.560 --> 1:03:12.960 what Genostone has been. 1:03:13.000 --> 1:03:14.720 The last couple He can actually tackle. 1:03:14.840 --> 1:03:18.720 Yeah, like literally, Genostone last season missed twenty three tackles. 1:03:19.280 --> 1:03:22.240 All right, twenty three tackles last season. Brian Cook has 1:03:22.280 --> 1:03:25.120 twenty two missed tackles across his whole NFL career. 1:03:25.800 --> 1:03:26.640 Four years in the. 1:03:26.680 --> 1:03:29.160 NFL, And I think a lot of people feel like 1:03:29.200 --> 1:03:32.720 Brian Cook has some untapped potential in the ability to 1:03:32.840 --> 1:03:35.120 kind of come down into the into the box and 1:03:35.120 --> 1:03:37.360 be a bit of a blitzer as well. So Al 1:03:37.440 --> 1:03:39.600 Golden can be unique with those looks. He did that 1:03:39.640 --> 1:03:41.520 more at UC, he didn't do it very much in 1:03:41.600 --> 1:03:43.840 Kansas City. So I think we'll see a little bit 1:03:43.840 --> 1:03:46.880 more of that from Brian Cook from Cincinnati and to 1:03:46.880 --> 1:03:49.160 a Geno Stone. But here's the thing, so you got 1:03:49.160 --> 1:03:52.560 to look at it. So Brian Cook, Boye Mafe, Jonathan Allen, 1:03:53.040 --> 1:03:57.360 are those three guys do the acquisitions of those three 1:03:57.440 --> 1:04:06.120 outweigh Trey Hendrickson Joe's of Osai and Genostone. Yeah, Genostone, Yeah, 1:04:06.120 --> 1:04:08.520 I mean definitely. I don't know how much of a 1:04:08.560 --> 1:04:11.640 difference the other two really make. So when you just 1:04:11.680 --> 1:04:13.840 if you look at it as simple as an addition 1:04:13.920 --> 1:04:17.200 and subtraction, makes you wonder just how much better they're 1:04:17.240 --> 1:04:17.680 going to be. 1:04:17.840 --> 1:04:19.600 I guess, I mean, I look at it going, all right, 1:04:19.600 --> 1:04:21.480 how many more years of production are you going to 1:04:21.560 --> 1:04:24.480 get out of Hendricks? And sure, all right, that's a 1:04:24.520 --> 1:04:27.160 legitimate question at his age, but you know, again, Allan's 1:04:27.200 --> 1:04:30.720 thirty one, so we'll see. I guess it's yeah. I 1:04:30.800 --> 1:04:33.200 know you think it's like an even swap at this point. 1:04:33.200 --> 1:04:35.040 I think I don't slight upgrade. I don't think it's like, 1:04:35.240 --> 1:04:36.080 you know, game change. 1:04:36.200 --> 1:04:39.160 I think it's a slight upgrade just because of the 1:04:39.320 --> 1:04:42.720 massive disparity between Brian Cook and genos Yes, yea, And 1:04:42.760 --> 1:04:45.000 that in and of itself might be enough to make 1:04:45.000 --> 1:04:46.960 them feel better. And you still have the draft, and 1:04:47.000 --> 1:04:49.680 you still might get guys on the defensive line. You 1:04:49.760 --> 1:04:51.920 might get Ruben Bainn, you might get Caleb Downs, you 1:04:52.000 --> 1:04:53.560 might get some of those guys that can help make 1:04:53.600 --> 1:04:55.600 you feel better. You might even get one of those corners, yeah, 1:04:55.640 --> 1:04:59.120 out there, So it's it's an incomplete grade. I think 1:04:59.160 --> 1:05:01.240 a lot of Bengals fan feel like they've missed the 1:05:01.240 --> 1:05:04.760 boat on the linebacker position because the linebacker played last 1:05:04.800 --> 1:05:08.000 year was atrocious. I mean those two rookies Barrett Carter, 1:05:08.120 --> 1:05:11.120 Demetrius Night Junior. You had guys like Cayden Ellis and 1:05:11.200 --> 1:05:15.040 Leo Chanell signed contracts that were well within the Bengals budget, 1:05:15.120 --> 1:05:16.840 and the Bengals weren't even in on them. Are they 1:05:16.880 --> 1:05:19.439 don Yeah, I would assume that they are. I would 1:05:19.440 --> 1:05:22.680 assume that they are nothing significant. I think the Joe 1:05:22.760 --> 1:05:25.320 Flacco thing might play itself out closer to training camp. 1:05:25.600 --> 1:05:26.960 I don't know that Flacco is going to get in 1:05:26.960 --> 1:05:30.360 a rush to sign with anybody, but yeah, I think 1:05:30.400 --> 1:05:31.600 they're mostly done. 1:05:31.680 --> 1:05:35.040 Okay. And the other thing is the Orlando Brown extension, 1:05:35.040 --> 1:05:37.120 which I think it's kind of funny. Now we're in 1:05:37.160 --> 1:05:39.600 the AI world and I'm thinking, well, a lot of 1:05:39.640 --> 1:05:41.320 agents are like, damn, he did his own deal to 1:05:41.400 --> 1:05:46.320 your Eastay, but the chat GPT the contract, like, I 1:05:46.320 --> 1:05:46.640 don't need. 1:05:47.720 --> 1:05:50.920 The funniest line from Orlando Brown yesterday was Yeah, it's 1:05:50.920 --> 1:05:52.440 pretty much as simple as you just go up to 1:05:52.480 --> 1:05:56.680 Mike Brown and say, can we get this done? For 1:05:56.760 --> 1:05:59.200 all the all the things that people say about Mike Brown, 1:05:59.240 --> 1:06:01.480 you don't think it's that simple. But according to Orlando 1:06:01.520 --> 1:06:02.400 Brown Junior, it was. 1:06:02.440 --> 1:06:03.840 I guess now you know it was. It was a 1:06:03.880 --> 1:06:07.560 great He improved as the season went on, and that's yeah. 1:06:07.600 --> 1:06:10.160 That towards the end he was a little bit better. 1:06:10.480 --> 1:06:12.200 But I think he would say and a lot of 1:06:12.240 --> 1:06:14.120 people would say it wasn't his best season. 1:06:14.280 --> 1:06:18.080 It wasn't. And he's getting older as well. I know 1:06:18.200 --> 1:06:19.960 that the Bengals feel like he has to get in 1:06:20.040 --> 1:06:22.480 better shape, and I think that's something he needs to 1:06:22.520 --> 1:06:24.280 work on, especially as you get older, you got to 1:06:24.320 --> 1:06:26.720 be really careful with your body. And so I hope 1:06:26.720 --> 1:06:29.720 that that's something that he takes to heart and is 1:06:29.760 --> 1:06:31.919 able to improve. Because you got to go up against 1:06:31.960 --> 1:06:34.440 Dray Hendrickson. Yeah, twic at least twice. Right, That's the 1:06:34.440 --> 1:06:36.520 thing that's gonna be a fun matchup to watch. So yeah, 1:06:36.520 --> 1:06:39.520 if you remember the first day they practiced against each other, 1:06:39.520 --> 1:06:41.880 they got in a big fight, which you know, Trey 1:06:41.960 --> 1:06:45.360 had these big scratches around his back. He said they 1:06:45.400 --> 1:06:47.360 fought when they when he was in Kansas City playing 1:06:47.360 --> 1:06:50.120 for the Chiefs as well, So I cannot wait for that. 1:06:50.120 --> 1:06:52.080 All right. So you're thinking they're done because you hear 1:06:52.080 --> 1:06:56.680 about Leo Chanal and and Ellison guys like that. They've 1:06:56.680 --> 1:06:58.080 got money to play with, don't they. 1:06:57.960 --> 1:07:00.640 They have a little bit the issue. I Well, those 1:07:00.680 --> 1:07:03.520 guys have signed already with other chams. Ok And the 1:07:03.520 --> 1:07:06.160 rest of the linebackers available are not much of an 1:07:06.240 --> 1:07:09.200 upgrade between you and I playing that position. So a 1:07:09.200 --> 1:07:11.640 lot of Bengals fans understandably feel like they missed the 1:07:11.640 --> 1:07:12.960 boat on that linebacker spot. 1:07:13.160 --> 1:07:16.360 Okay, and you know there's a win now pressure that 1:07:16.360 --> 1:07:19.360 they're facing as well. I think inside the building they 1:07:19.360 --> 1:07:22.640 probably think they've done enough, but as far as fan 1:07:22.720 --> 1:07:25.280 reaction goes, it seems like, yeah, we did something, but 1:07:25.320 --> 1:07:25.600 it's not. 1:07:25.840 --> 1:07:28.520 They have a skewed reaction to what they believe is 1:07:28.560 --> 1:07:31.760 all in, and that's always been the issue with them. 1:07:31.960 --> 1:07:35.360 Duke Tobin, in a really pompous and arrogant way of 1:07:35.400 --> 1:07:37.200 saying it at the combine, was like, we're never not 1:07:37.320 --> 1:07:39.480 all in. We always try to win, and that's just 1:07:39.520 --> 1:07:41.320 not true. All Right, what is the one position of 1:07:41.360 --> 1:07:43.360 the draft. Then they absolutely have to hit on the park. 1:07:44.680 --> 1:07:47.600 I mean, if there's one, I would still there's a 1:07:47.600 --> 1:07:50.840 lot to hit multiple let's say, yeah, right, I would 1:07:50.840 --> 1:07:53.080 still want to build the defensive line. Okay, if you're 1:07:53.120 --> 1:07:56.000 good up front, that makes everybody else better, So I 1:07:56.000 --> 1:07:58.000 would start with that. I would hope that a good 1:07:58.000 --> 1:08:01.200 defensive line would make those linebackers better and make things 1:08:01.240 --> 1:08:04.280 easier on them. So if you're able to get one 1:08:04.320 --> 1:08:08.040 of those defensive tackles, whether it's Peter Woods from Clemson, 1:08:08.160 --> 1:08:10.880 Cad McDonald from Ohio State, Caleb Banks from Florida has 1:08:10.920 --> 1:08:12.760 now he's going to drop because he has a broken foot, 1:08:13.000 --> 1:08:14.960 ye could be a guy for the Bengals in round 1:08:15.000 --> 1:08:19.320 number two. That or Ruben Bain Junior, the edge rusher 1:08:19.360 --> 1:08:21.000 out of Miami. I think they are in love with 1:08:21.040 --> 1:08:23.559 the idea of him rushing from the inside, especially because 1:08:23.600 --> 1:08:26.639 now everybody thinks he has t Rex arms. So yeah, 1:08:26.920 --> 1:08:30.080 I just I think you continue to build from the 1:08:30.120 --> 1:08:31.599 defensive line on back. 1:08:31.680 --> 1:08:33.760 You've got the Willie arms when the check comes, That's right. 1:08:35.160 --> 1:08:38.400 Austin Elmore not on today with Tony Pike because it's 1:08:38.479 --> 1:08:40.160 day three of Kentucky basketball. 1:08:40.560 --> 1:08:44.080 That's correct. But the trust if you really really want 1:08:44.120 --> 1:08:47.160 my takes. You can subscribe and listen to the Ball 1:08:47.200 --> 1:08:50.439 Don't Lie podcast, Ball Don't Lie, Ball Don't Lie wherever 1:08:50.479 --> 1:08:54.080 you get your podcasts, including on the iHeartRadio app you 1:08:54.200 --> 1:08:56.200 and also on my twitter feed.

Got to get it 1:09:06.280 --> 1:09:09.320 at audio more au t y al Right, when basketball 1:09:09.400 --> 1:09:11.759 is not on, it's Tony Pike and this guy, Austin 1:09:11.760 --> 1:09:16.320 Elmore at noon on ESPN fifteen thirty. He's got a 1:09:16.320 --> 1:09:18.800 reds hat on, he's got an Ohio State sweatshirt on. 1:09:18.880 --> 1:09:21.559 He's got not to go to the gym. I stopped 1:09:21.840 --> 1:09:24.800 here on my way to the gym. Nothing matches. I 1:09:24.840 --> 1:09:27.120 love it.

That's all ahead on the Home 1:09:43.920 --> 1:09:46.120 of the Red seven hundred WLWED Cincinnati. 1:09:46.479 --> 1:09:46.760 Want to. 1:09:49.160 --> 1:09:52.240 If you're a pet owner an animal lover, I have 1:09:52.320 --> 1:09:55.559 a very very important question to ask you, and that 1:09:55.800 --> 1:09:59.080 is what do you feed your dog? What do you 1:09:59.160 --> 1:10:02.879 feed your cat? We are inundated with marketing in America, 1:10:02.920 --> 1:10:06.120 always have been, always will I'm a big proponent of 1:10:06.200 --> 1:10:10.519 marketing and advertising. And what was fed to us like 1:10:10.600 --> 1:10:13.400 we feed our pets, is a steady diet of You 1:10:13.479 --> 1:10:17.639 are a horrible abusive pet parent, not pet owner pet 1:10:17.680 --> 1:10:21.360 parent unless you have someone like Guy Fiertti in a 1:10:21.479 --> 1:10:25.960 kitchen chopping up organic, fair trade, free range, ethically sourced, 1:10:26.000 --> 1:10:31.040 pesticide free, GMO, missing preservative, absent, carbon neutral, gluten free 1:10:31.200 --> 1:10:34.599 dog or cat food. If you don't feed your dog 1:10:34.680 --> 1:10:40.160 or cat that you are an abuser. Doug Hoffman is 1:10:40.200 --> 1:10:42.599 a doctor of veterinary medicine and a cute pet here 1:10:42.600 --> 1:10:45.799 in Cincinnati. Yes or no, Doug Hoffman tell the truth, 1:10:45.960 --> 1:10:53.719 So help you God? Is it necessary? No? So, Scott's 1:10:53.720 --> 1:10:54.320 good to be here. 1:10:54.360 --> 1:10:55.120 How are you, buddy? 1:10:55.160 --> 1:10:58.840 Goodness see you questions been a minute since my buddy 1:10:58.880 --> 1:11:01.840 Doug's been on the show, and and now you know 1:11:01.880 --> 1:11:04.840 why because he's going, what's this guy going with this 1:11:05.040 --> 1:11:07.639 right now? What's what's happening? No, I you know it's 1:11:07.720 --> 1:11:09.479 it's like, you want to do best by your pets, 1:11:09.760 --> 1:11:12.920 and do you really need do they really need organic peas? 1:11:13.240 --> 1:11:16.479 You do want to do the best your pets, There's 1:11:16.520 --> 1:11:20.479 no question about it. But the key, the biggest key 1:11:20.479 --> 1:11:23.160 with dog food and pet food. I don't care where 1:11:23.160 --> 1:11:27.080 it's cat food, dog food, whatever his consistency. The mistake 1:11:27.240 --> 1:11:29.719 people make a lot of times is feeding a variety 1:11:29.800 --> 1:11:33.240 of things. They don't do as well as we do 1:11:33.280 --> 1:11:36.680 with a variety of foods. The other thing, too, is 1:11:36.720 --> 1:11:38.720 all the vegetables, all of that type of thing. I mean, 1:11:38.720 --> 1:11:43.120 dogs are carnivores, cats are carnivores. They do better with 1:11:43.200 --> 1:11:44.320 meat based products. 1:11:44.320 --> 1:11:44.680 They do. 1:11:44.840 --> 1:11:47.240 They put a lot of the other things in corn meal, 1:11:47.320 --> 1:11:51.519 different things like that for for filler, but a lot 1:11:51.560 --> 1:11:53.400 of your dry foods, Like I have a great dame. 1:11:54.000 --> 1:11:58.000 I feed him one food all the time, and you're 1:11:58.040 --> 1:12:02.160 a doctor. Occasionally, reasonally, I'll give him the crust off 1:12:02.160 --> 1:12:04.679 of a pizza, pizza, I sauce, no nothing. 1:12:04.840 --> 1:12:05.320 He loves it. 1:12:05.320 --> 1:12:07.559 It's the greatest thing in the world's nuts, a little 1:12:07.560 --> 1:12:11.439 piece of cheese every once in a while. He does great, 1:12:12.080 --> 1:12:14.640 and he's done great. And they don't have diarrhea, they 1:12:14.720 --> 1:12:16.840 don't have vomiting, they don't have all these problems, and 1:12:16.840 --> 1:12:20.120 they're not overweight. Yeah, I mean, you know, that's that's 1:12:19.880 --> 1:12:21.920 the key with this. If you do a lot of this, 1:12:21.960 --> 1:12:25.639 I mean, they love it, but that's more us making 1:12:25.680 --> 1:12:28.160 ourselves feel better about what we're feeding them than what 1:12:28.200 --> 1:12:30.240 they really need. A lot of the foods out there 1:12:30.280 --> 1:12:34.599 are very nutritionally well bound. They're made to feed them 1:12:34.640 --> 1:12:37.280 the same thing all of the time. It may be 1:12:37.320 --> 1:12:39.080 boring because we. 1:12:39.360 --> 1:12:41.120 Think, oh, I wanna have Chinese to that I don't 1:12:41.160 --> 1:12:44.519 have Korean, and I'm gonna have a dog all the time. 1:12:44.600 --> 1:12:46.120 No, no of that. The other thing about it, like you 1:12:46.240 --> 1:12:47.920 feed your dog all this stuff and then they'll go 1:12:48.160 --> 1:12:48.920 need a dead squirrel. 1:12:49.080 --> 1:12:53.680 So yeah, right, I mean, there's not a pickiness with 1:12:53.920 --> 1:12:57.160 a let's just call it what it is, not exactly 1:12:57.439 --> 1:13:00.200 other than like carrots or broccoli or I can't get 1:13:00.200 --> 1:13:01.519 my dog eat any of that, but I don't feed 1:13:01.560 --> 1:13:02.360 it that, So it doesn't matter. 1:13:02.560 --> 1:13:04.280 It doesn't matter. It's the lead. If there's some butter 1:13:04.400 --> 1:13:07.160 on it. They probably just crush a carrot, right, yeah, 1:13:07.280 --> 1:13:07.559 I would. 1:13:07.560 --> 1:13:10.120 They'll eat anything. I mean I had when I was 1:13:10.160 --> 1:13:13.440 an emergency. I had a dog come in on emergency 1:13:14.720 --> 1:13:19.519 because this was a Thanksgiving Okay, somebody had done one 1:13:19.520 --> 1:13:22.160 of the you know, roasted the turkey outside, had all 1:13:22.200 --> 1:13:26.200 the juices and poured it out on their decorative stone 1:13:26.240 --> 1:13:28.200 to get rid of it. And the dog ate all 1:13:28.200 --> 1:13:30.880 of the stones, ate the rocks, the rocks. The whole 1:13:30.880 --> 1:13:33.719 thing came in, took an X ray. His entire stomach 1:13:33.800 --> 1:13:36.519 was filled with stones. Didn't lick them, ate the rocks. 1:13:36.600 --> 1:13:40.680 So they're not picky. They'll eat whatever. They're also not 1:13:40.920 --> 1:13:45.120 particularly bright. They get sick on chocolate and grapes and 1:13:45.240 --> 1:13:48.040 they'd crush some chocolate grapes. Like chocolate grapes. I think 1:13:48.080 --> 1:13:48.479 we're great. 1:13:48.680 --> 1:13:51.080 Well that's you know, that's where the variety of stuff 1:13:51.120 --> 1:13:53.720 comes in, is it can become dangerous. I mean, you know, 1:13:53.760 --> 1:13:56.760 the pets are sensitive to things that were not sensitive to. 1:13:56.920 --> 1:14:00.800 So you know you're safe with with the stak dog food. 1:14:00.880 --> 1:14:03.200 And it's a good quality food. Yeah, it's a good 1:14:03.280 --> 1:14:05.120 quality food. Stay away from the generics. 1:14:05.320 --> 1:14:07.240 What about cats because they see. The ones I've seen 1:14:07.320 --> 1:14:09.640 is like they tend to like their their dinner on 1:14:09.720 --> 1:14:12.320 crystal with like a it's got like, I don't know, 1:14:12.400 --> 1:14:14.880 some sort of reduction, vial reduction on it or something 1:14:14.960 --> 1:14:17.479 like that. Yeah, and they just sit there and they 1:14:17.520 --> 1:14:19.600 eat it out of crystal like a water Is it 1:14:19.640 --> 1:14:21.760 the Waterford crystal that the cats eat out of? Is that? 1:14:21.800 --> 1:14:22.599 What does it for them? 1:14:22.800 --> 1:14:25.040 That's that's I think says a lot more about the 1:14:25.040 --> 1:14:26.439 owner than it does about correct. 1:14:26.479 --> 1:14:28.320 Yes, because you don't care about your pet unless you're 1:14:28.320 --> 1:14:31.360 spending stupid amounts of money trying to feed them. I'm 1:14:31.360 --> 1:14:33.720 glad you, Doug Hoffman. I'm glad you cleared that up 1:14:33.720 --> 1:14:35.360 for us. I've always wanted to ask that question of 1:14:35.360 --> 1:14:37.760 a veterinarian because you know, I'm about I'm about the 1:14:37.840 --> 1:14:40.240 value I you know, we love our dog, we take care, 1:14:40.280 --> 1:14:43.559 but I'm like, do I really need Like what's that? 1:14:43.600 --> 1:14:45.000 I understand we got to start this. We're in the 1:14:45.000 --> 1:14:46.400 wrong business. You know what I want to do. We 1:14:46.439 --> 1:14:48.800 had to do here. You go, let's convince people and 1:14:48.880 --> 1:14:52.080 we can teach classes and sell products, breastfeed their animals. 1:14:52.120 --> 1:14:58.880 What about that? Let's well, that would be right it's like, well, 1:14:58.920 --> 1:15:02.040 you know, the next step. I would not either, but 1:15:02.400 --> 1:15:04.240 I don't know someone would go, oh, yeah, you should. 1:15:04.240 --> 1:15:06.599 You should totally breastfeed your cat. What could go wrong there? 1:15:07.400 --> 1:15:10.439 Doug Hoffman is with acute pet here in Cincinnati, and 1:15:10.600 --> 1:15:12.760 uh we we haven't talked in a while, I know. 1:15:12.880 --> 1:15:16.679 And people obviously love their animals, sometimes more than family members. 1:15:16.760 --> 1:15:19.200 I get it because the the affection is there for them. 1:15:19.200 --> 1:15:23.360 Too often it's about dogs and cats. Longevity is a 1:15:23.360 --> 1:15:25.439 big issue here too. You know. You mentioned the food thing. 1:15:26.080 --> 1:15:28.280 I also think about how exercise is very very important 1:15:28.280 --> 1:15:30.639 for you and dog or the cat is a cat. 1:15:31.040 --> 1:15:33.760 Yeah, absolutely, I mean I think that's you know, one 1:15:33.800 --> 1:15:35.360 of the best ways to get in shape is get 1:15:35.600 --> 1:15:39.040 get a dog, you know, to make long walk you know, 1:15:39.720 --> 1:15:41.599 and and I think that's that's key to that type 1:15:41.640 --> 1:15:41.960 of thing. 1:15:43.200 --> 1:15:43.400 You know. 1:15:44.000 --> 1:15:48.120 We're big, big fans of uh, you know, exercising our 1:15:48.160 --> 1:15:53.080 pets and and and obviously responsibly, you know, the the 1:15:53.080 --> 1:15:55.920 big mistake people make, especially as we're heading out of 1:15:56.000 --> 1:15:59.280 winter in the summer, it's going to start getting hot. Yes, 1:16:00.200 --> 1:16:04.080 be careful with your dogs and taking them for long 1:16:04.200 --> 1:16:07.120 runs because you've decided now you're gonna get in shape, 1:16:07.960 --> 1:16:10.840 is in shape, especially if it's hot, especially if they're 1:16:11.960 --> 1:16:16.000 sort of the smash mouth breaky cephalic dogs. 1:16:16.160 --> 1:16:19.639 Gotcha. Heat stroke is a big, big Do you see 1:16:19.680 --> 1:16:20.360 that in the spring? 1:16:22.040 --> 1:16:23.880 A lot of times you'll see it oftentimes in the 1:16:23.920 --> 1:16:26.400 spring because when you hit that seventy all of a sudden, 1:16:26.439 --> 1:16:28.439 they're not used to it. Okay, all of a sudden, 1:16:28.560 --> 1:16:31.040 somebody's taken their dog for a four mile run and 1:16:31.080 --> 1:16:34.320 the dog hasn't walked half a mile and three months 1:16:35.040 --> 1:16:38.200 thought of that, and they can't handle it. And especially 1:16:38.280 --> 1:16:41.439 the dogs that have some of the breathing issues, we 1:16:41.520 --> 1:16:43.839 see that and the heat stroke comes on very quickly. 1:16:43.880 --> 1:16:47.040 It's very serious, one of the most sort of devastating 1:16:47.040 --> 1:16:51.320 emergencies we see because it's sometimes those dogs are hard 1:16:51.840 --> 1:16:52.320 good enough. 1:16:52.360 --> 1:16:53.960 Well, I mean, think about it. So maybe you're training 1:16:53.960 --> 1:16:55.479 to run, maybe you're going to tank of the pig. 1:16:55.840 --> 1:16:57.760 It's like, okay, well this cold winter, you've been running 1:16:57.800 --> 1:16:59.840 in a treadmill. Your dog has it right, you can't 1:16:59.840 --> 1:17:02.439 just run out and they're like they've been sedentary this long. 1:17:02.439 --> 1:17:05.040 You got to build them up. Really, it's really watching them. 1:17:05.160 --> 1:17:05.320 You know. 1:17:05.360 --> 1:17:07.080 The thing that we always one of The first signs 1:17:07.080 --> 1:17:09.080 you'll see with the dog is it'll start to he'll 1:17:09.120 --> 1:17:11.360 sit as you're walking them. 1:17:11.240 --> 1:17:13.160 And everybody's like, come on, come on, get in shape, 1:17:13.240 --> 1:17:13.960 let's go. Yeah. 1:17:14.080 --> 1:17:18.080 Dogs don't sit unless right, So you know, these are 1:17:18.120 --> 1:17:21.120 little things to watch for. I've been on walks at 1:17:21.439 --> 1:17:25.120 the parks and things and been able to predict as 1:17:25.160 --> 1:17:27.599 I've walked around, which dog I'm going to end up 1:17:28.439 --> 1:17:31.080 seeing is going to be a heat stroke? Okay, And 1:17:31.439 --> 1:17:35.040 it actually happened to me once at Sharon Woods and 1:17:35.200 --> 1:17:37.960 really watched the dog go by, and I said, that 1:17:38.040 --> 1:17:42.400 dog's going to stroke. And when another hundred yards and 1:17:42.439 --> 1:17:45.280 the dogs on the side, actually the guys like, I 1:17:45.280 --> 1:17:46.000 don't know what to do. 1:17:46.120 --> 1:17:47.639 His temperature was one hundred and nine. 1:17:47.680 --> 1:17:51.760 Oh lord, what so what what it was a it's 1:17:51.760 --> 1:17:54.200 a seventy five pound dog. We had to pick it 1:17:54.280 --> 1:17:56.000 up and the Harriot he had to go run and 1:17:56.040 --> 1:17:57.760 get his card, get it to the. 1:17:58.320 --> 1:18:01.719 Dog, and he was, okay, he is not dude. You 1:18:01.800 --> 1:18:03.160 just can't drop a dead dog. 1:18:03.320 --> 1:18:03.479 Star. 1:18:03.560 --> 1:18:06.360 There's kids less and people are weeping, right and it's 1:18:06.400 --> 1:18:11.719 just lie just fly yeah dogs by. He's the nice farmer. 1:18:11.800 --> 1:18:15.280 What the kind of show is this? No, that's terrible though. 1:18:15.320 --> 1:18:19.080 It's it's just horrible though. Poor guy. Well it was 1:18:19.120 --> 1:18:19.519 too long. 1:18:20.520 --> 1:18:23.080 Yeah, So it's one of those it's not a great story, 1:18:23.280 --> 1:18:25.800 but it's a story that's real. Like when you're talking 1:18:25.840 --> 1:18:30.320 about exercising, especially this time of the year, it's great 1:18:30.320 --> 1:18:32.280 to do that. Do it in moderation, make sure you're 1:18:32.320 --> 1:18:32.680 watching it. 1:18:32.760 --> 1:18:35.960 Okay, important too, because the results can be good because dog, 1:18:36.120 --> 1:18:37.600 he's not gonna Dog is going to go until it 1:18:37.600 --> 1:18:38.240 can't go anymore. 1:18:38.240 --> 1:18:41.240 It's loving life, yeah, and there's some that it can 1:18:41.360 --> 1:18:43.280 go forever and there's some that cannot. 1:18:43.520 --> 1:18:47.439 Okay. The other thing too, is we see and I've 1:18:47.439 --> 1:18:50.120 talked to Sanjay Shapercrimani or your physician. He comes on 1:18:50.160 --> 1:18:52.280 Thursday mornings. We talk about health and fitness and all 1:18:52.320 --> 1:18:54.920 these things. But I think that it's true with pats 1:18:54.920 --> 1:18:58.600 as well. We talked about nutrition and the like. But 1:18:59.120 --> 1:19:02.479 people are now using doctor Google or shat GPT to 1:19:02.600 --> 1:19:05.400 answer the medical questions and there's some pitfalls with that. 1:19:05.439 --> 1:19:07.400 I'd imagine that's probably true with pet care as well. 1:19:07.720 --> 1:19:09.800 It's I think it's even more with pet care. 1:19:10.320 --> 1:19:12.960 It's becoming very popular with you know, especially with the 1:19:13.000 --> 1:19:16.920 advent of AI and things like that. The problem is 1:19:16.960 --> 1:19:19.599 they can't talk to you. It's one thing if you 1:19:19.640 --> 1:19:22.559 know what your symptoms are and you're telling somebody or 1:19:22.600 --> 1:19:24.599 looking it up and going, this is how I feel, 1:19:24.720 --> 1:19:26.800 this is what's going on, this is what's happened to me. 1:19:27.120 --> 1:19:30.599 It's another thing to interpret that from a pet, and 1:19:30.640 --> 1:19:33.000 you don't really know what you're looking at, so you 1:19:33.000 --> 1:19:36.360 don't necessarily know what's an emergency. For instance, my cat 1:19:36.400 --> 1:19:39.080 is peeing all the time. I think he has a 1:19:39.240 --> 1:19:41.679 urinary track infection. What should I do for a urinary 1:19:41.720 --> 1:19:43.960 track infection? When in fact he's peeing all the time 1:19:44.000 --> 1:19:48.120 because he can't pee, yes, and he's blocked. My great 1:19:48.240 --> 1:19:54.880 Dane is vomiting. What should I do? Okay withhold food? Wait, okay, 1:19:54.880 --> 1:19:59.920 he's not actually vomiting. He's gagging because he can't vom 1:20:00.320 --> 1:20:02.759 because he's bloated. And it should have been a surgical emergence. 1:20:02.800 --> 1:20:03.360 Oh my goodness. 1:20:03.439 --> 1:20:06.439 So there's different things out there that that people just 1:20:06.560 --> 1:20:09.120 don't know because it's just. 1:20:10.240 --> 1:20:12.040 Cats and other pats too for that matter, and so 1:20:12.160 --> 1:20:16.440 keeping them on dogs. But yeah, cats, yeah, yeah, yeactly right, right, okay. 1:20:16.400 --> 1:20:18.639 Because you know that's what happens we see a lot 1:20:18.640 --> 1:20:20.280 of there's a lot of things that can be really 1:20:20.360 --> 1:20:23.400 serious that somebody can say, well, you know, and that's why, like, 1:20:23.560 --> 1:20:28.800 you know, all of our hospitals were very cautious with 1:20:28.840 --> 1:20:32.320 our front desk people to say, listen, you know, try 1:20:32.360 --> 1:20:34.880 not to give advice over the phone because you don't know. 1:20:35.479 --> 1:20:37.880 You can't see it and they can't see it. And 1:20:37.960 --> 1:20:39.920 it's sort of like listen to you know, it's your bait. 1:20:39.920 --> 1:20:42.720 It's like a pediatrician, Yeah, you know, you can't talk 1:20:42.760 --> 1:20:44.320 to you. So you have to really do a good 1:20:44.320 --> 1:20:48.240 physical exam and see what's going on, not just hear 1:20:48.280 --> 1:20:49.439 about it from somebody else. 1:20:49.680 --> 1:20:52.880 Doug Hoffman, doctor veter veterinary medicine, on the show here 1:20:52.920 --> 1:20:55.639 on seven hundred w Alws started talking about saving moneter 1:20:55.680 --> 1:20:57.840 whether or not need to feed your dog these bougie foods, 1:20:57.840 --> 1:20:59.639 and the answer of courses or cats for that matter, 1:21:00.320 --> 1:21:03.080 is fine, don't change it up, don't go from brand 1:21:03.080 --> 1:21:05.400 to brand. And what about like if I wanted beef 1:21:05.479 --> 1:21:07.679 versus chicken, the same thing. If I if it's beef 1:21:07.720 --> 1:21:09.400 and sweet potato, keep it beef. 1:21:09.200 --> 1:21:12.639 And consistently, it's not that one is better than the other. 1:21:12.760 --> 1:21:14.719 It's just don't switch it up all the time. 1:21:15.439 --> 1:21:19.040 That's what causes and also table scraps too. Although my 1:21:19.120 --> 1:21:21.280 dog will cry and cry and cry if he can't 1:21:21.320 --> 1:21:23.760 lick the bull's he's the best. So we have the 1:21:23.800 --> 1:21:25.519 pot scrubber mode on your dish or so, so don't 1:21:25.520 --> 1:21:27.160 do that. Just get an animal and put the bowl 1:21:27.200 --> 1:21:28.200 down and let them clean. Well. 1:21:28.320 --> 1:21:30.919 And it's one thing if you give your pet food scraps, 1:21:30.960 --> 1:21:33.719 like you give it a little piece of baked chicken. 1:21:34.439 --> 1:21:37.479 Don't give it steak, don't give it pork. These are 1:21:37.520 --> 1:21:41.880 things pancitis. Oh well, okay, good, Well, you'll have to 1:21:41.920 --> 1:21:44.280 be sensitive to it, not as much as you may 1:21:44.280 --> 1:21:45.840 have to break the news to band it because he's 1:21:45.880 --> 1:21:47.320 not going to take this well that he should not 1:21:47.360 --> 1:21:50.639 be licking the bulls clean. But the fall of that habit, 1:21:50.680 --> 1:21:52.080 I guess, I don't know. So he seems to be 1:21:52.160 --> 1:21:56.120 doing okay, he's fine, he's fine. You know. One of 1:21:56.120 --> 1:21:57.960 the other elements here too, a pet care and this 1:21:58.040 --> 1:22:02.080 is your business and cute pet is it seems like 1:22:02.080 --> 1:22:04.080 it's getting it's getting everything to get more expensive with 1:22:04.120 --> 1:22:05.880 inflation and a light too. But it seems like in 1:22:05.920 --> 1:22:07.559 pet care too, the prices are going up. 1:22:08.080 --> 1:22:10.839 They are, and you know, I think that's one of 1:22:10.560 --> 1:22:14.680 the biggest issues in veterinary medicine right now, is is 1:22:15.280 --> 1:22:19.679 care becoming unaffordable? Yeah, you know, because insurance still only 1:22:20.080 --> 1:22:24.000 accounts for maybe three to four percent of the pet population. 1:22:25.160 --> 1:22:28.200 So it would be great if everybody could do that. 1:22:28.320 --> 1:22:31.160 But even the pet insurance companies are seeing, okay, well 1:22:31.160 --> 1:22:33.680 this is expensive, yes, right, their rates you know, what 1:22:33.800 --> 1:22:36.960 used to be unable have become you know, difficult to 1:22:37.040 --> 1:22:41.120 do every month for some people, right, And and that's 1:22:41.160 --> 1:22:44.080 a real problem for you know, taking care of these 1:22:44.080 --> 1:22:46.439 pets the way people want to take care of them. 1:22:46.640 --> 1:22:47.520 Yeah. 1:22:47.560 --> 1:22:50.000 And you know, I came from a business that did 1:22:50.240 --> 1:22:52.479 you know, could do everything. I mean, I you know, 1:22:52.560 --> 1:22:54.760 my old hospital, I was one of the first ones 1:22:54.800 --> 1:22:59.599 to bring stereotactic radiosurgery to veterinarian medicine and cancer treatment. 1:23:00.800 --> 1:23:03.479 That's great for certain amount of people that can do that. 1:23:03.960 --> 1:23:07.120 It's great that we can. The question is, you know, 1:23:07.520 --> 1:23:10.759 it doesn't mean that we always should because sometimes people 1:23:10.840 --> 1:23:12.960 just can't afford this. So what are other treatments that 1:23:13.000 --> 1:23:14.680 we can do to at least help as much as 1:23:14.680 --> 1:23:17.519 we can or figure out ways to bring costs down 1:23:17.720 --> 1:23:18.320 in some way. 1:23:18.439 --> 1:23:21.200 Yeah, and that's a challenge of human medicine as well 1:23:21.200 --> 1:23:23.759 as the veterinary medicine as well too. Cost everything seems 1:23:23.760 --> 1:23:25.080 to be. But I would say, you know, if you 1:23:25.120 --> 1:23:27.200 introduce insurance into it, like people, isn't that going to 1:23:27.240 --> 1:23:29.280 inflate the cost even more if someone else is paying 1:23:29.320 --> 1:23:29.559 for it? 1:23:30.120 --> 1:23:33.559 Well, I you know, at medinary medicine. I think one 1:23:33.600 --> 1:23:35.799 of the reasons that you see that on the human side. 1:23:36.439 --> 1:23:39.200 You know, my wife is an internist on the human side, 1:23:39.240 --> 1:23:41.280 and you saw this with insurance that some of the 1:23:41.320 --> 1:23:45.240 issues with that is that costs are so high, not 1:23:45.320 --> 1:23:49.160 because of insurance, but because of the threat of being sued, 1:23:49.600 --> 1:23:53.240 right because of you know, without tort reform. It's hard 1:23:53.400 --> 1:23:55.200 and I don't want to get into good Yeah, it's 1:23:55.240 --> 1:23:58.280 all different, but we don't see that on the veterinary side. 1:23:58.400 --> 1:24:00.720 So you know, we're just trying to get people to 1:24:00.800 --> 1:24:04.080 take care of their pets as best they can. Thank goodness, 1:24:04.080 --> 1:24:06.599 many many people said just what you said. They treat 1:24:06.600 --> 1:24:10.320 them as family, but it's still expensive no matter how 1:24:10.400 --> 1:24:13.519 much you love your pet. Sometimes you know these thousand, 1:24:13.600 --> 1:24:15.439 two thousand and five thousand dollars bills. 1:24:15.520 --> 1:24:18.519 You can't afford that, and sadly the alternative is like, 1:24:18.560 --> 1:24:20.760 well we've got to put our pet down and that's 1:24:20.760 --> 1:24:22.360 the most tragic thing of all because of money. So, 1:24:22.560 --> 1:24:24.639 I know, you guys are acute to pet, you're keeping 1:24:24.640 --> 1:24:25.200 the costs and. 1:24:25.760 --> 1:24:28.760 That's our goal, I mean is emergent care. You know, 1:24:28.760 --> 1:24:31.320 we're sort of that in between you know, general practice 1:24:31.479 --> 1:24:35.360 that you know is doing you know, the vaccines and 1:24:35.520 --> 1:24:38.000 dentals and boring and all of the things that are 1:24:38.040 --> 1:24:42.240 sort of primary care and the twenty four hours specialty emergency. 1:24:42.280 --> 1:24:45.720 We sort of fit in between that the emergencies that 1:24:45.760 --> 1:24:48.720 are emergencies to the client. A lot of times, you know, 1:24:48.760 --> 1:24:51.880 the ear infection, the laceration, of sudden limping. 1:24:53.160 --> 1:24:53.719 We're there. 1:24:53.840 --> 1:24:56.120 And the goal that we had with this company was 1:24:56.200 --> 1:24:59.080 be there to treat them when they need it, because 1:24:59.080 --> 1:25:01.200 it's sometimes it's hard to get into your family vet. 1:25:01.280 --> 1:25:05.120 Sometimes there's really long waits at the special hospitals. But 1:25:05.200 --> 1:25:07.680 also make it so that people can afford this and 1:25:07.800 --> 1:25:11.920 get in and be treated and not have this be 1:25:12.000 --> 1:25:15.200 something that sort of deters them from the other treatments their. 1:25:15.080 --> 1:25:15.519 Pet may need. 1:25:15.600 --> 1:25:17.560 Yeah, exactly exact because We don't want somebody to have 1:25:17.600 --> 1:25:20.880 an emergency and now they can't get heartworm preventitive for 1:25:20.920 --> 1:25:23.479 their pet, or they can't get vaccines or something like that. 1:25:23.520 --> 1:25:23.720 Good. 1:25:23.800 --> 1:25:26.120 Yeah, all right, So to keep it, you guys are 1:25:26.439 --> 1:25:28.360 on top of the road. Westchester, we are. 1:25:28.400 --> 1:25:31.680 We we have locations in Westchester. We have location in 1:25:31.800 --> 1:25:36.200 Beaver Creek up in Dayton. We have one in Bellevue, Kentucky. 1:25:36.840 --> 1:25:41.320 Uh and uh we have other ones in uh in 1:25:41.640 --> 1:25:44.960 uh Cleveland, and a couple actually in South Carolina. 1:25:45.040 --> 1:25:48.439 It's pretty grown growing practice. Congratulations, Thank you. Alo you 1:25:48.479 --> 1:25:50.160 guys would be like Starbucks pretty soon. 1:25:50.439 --> 1:25:52.920 Well you can have that would be uh, that would 1:25:54.320 --> 1:25:57.640 at Yeah, but no, it was it's you know, one 1:25:57.680 --> 1:25:59.639 of the goals was is we wanted to do more 1:25:59.680 --> 1:26:03.080 than just one in one location. We wanted to try 1:26:03.080 --> 1:26:06.200 and be, you know, have a little bit of mass 1:26:06.240 --> 1:26:08.400 to this and that you know, we can you know, 1:26:08.720 --> 1:26:11.639 help not just the clients and the pets, but also 1:26:11.720 --> 1:26:14.639 help the veterinarians that work for us and the staff 1:26:15.080 --> 1:26:19.280 have you know, hopefully have veterinarian veterinary medicine be fun again. Yeah, 1:26:19.479 --> 1:26:21.280 I think there's a little bit of that's that's getting 1:26:21.320 --> 1:26:22.200 lost in the mix. 1:26:23.240 --> 1:26:24.880 I hear that in the in the human and it's 1:26:24.920 --> 1:26:27.360 it's all about numbers, and well it's hard. It's hard. 1:26:28.120 --> 1:26:30.160 It's just doing what we were talking about, trying to 1:26:30.600 --> 1:26:32.800 treat a pet and then giving them an estimate and 1:26:32.800 --> 1:26:35.080 they go, I can't do it. And now you know, 1:26:35.120 --> 1:26:38.720 there's just there's there's where medicine is just not fun. Yeah, 1:26:38.880 --> 1:26:40.959 because you certainly don't want to be in a situation 1:26:41.000 --> 1:26:43.360 where you have to choose your pet's life over your 1:26:43.360 --> 1:26:44.040 pets treatment. 1:26:44.120 --> 1:26:46.880 Are you getting, you know, people for their medicine? You know, 1:26:46.920 --> 1:26:49.400 your kids? I mean, people have emergencies.

It was like 1:28:58.680 --> 1:28:59.920 just a nice little long weekend. 1:29:00.240 --> 1:29:02.800 I just I'm still giggling over that where we didn't 1:29:02.800 --> 1:29:03.240 even know. 1:29:03.360 --> 1:29:06.000 Yeah yeah, yeah, right before we left. And it's good 1:29:06.040 --> 1:29:07.439 I got out of buy any drinks anyway. 1:29:09.360 --> 1:29:11.040 I really wanted to capitalize on that. 1:29:11.200 --> 1:29:14.000 Club at at Allie Martin eate in the Good Drama. 1:29:14.080 --> 1:29:16.439 She is here to chop up what's happening this weekend. 1:29:16.439 --> 1:29:18.280 I don't have to say this. This is the one 1:29:18.360 --> 1:29:20.599 coming up. It's the one day of the year we 1:29:20.680 --> 1:29:23.680 pretend to like Irish dancing and boiled food and for 1:29:23.840 --> 1:29:27.240 one day. Yeah, for one day we I'm leading it. 1:29:27.360 --> 1:29:29.479 Irish dancing is great for one day. 1:29:29.680 --> 1:29:32.679 Let's go you know, I'm I am here for any 1:29:32.680 --> 1:29:34.040 and all of the Irish dancers. 1:29:34.120 --> 1:29:35.840 That's not easy, I can say it was. 1:29:36.120 --> 1:29:37.760 We're celebrating Saint Patty's Day. 1:29:37.800 --> 1:29:42.200 Baby, let's go eleftchi. Yeah, it's also a Tuesday, though, 1:29:42.240 --> 1:29:44.719 but we always do it the weekend before well. 1:29:44.560 --> 1:29:46.880 And yeah, luckily at the Tuesday, so we'll throw it 1:29:46.920 --> 1:29:49.080 back into the weekend before when it becomes a Wednesday 1:29:49.120 --> 1:29:52.439 events or Wednesday. Then again, what to do I don't 1:29:52.520 --> 1:29:52.960 know what to do? 1:29:53.160 --> 1:29:53.840 Round up around. 1:29:54.160 --> 1:29:57.400 We'll discuss that next year. But this year we have 1:29:57.479 --> 1:30:01.719 the fifty eighth annuals since Addie Saint Patrick's Day Parade, 1:30:01.760 --> 1:30:05.320 happening tomorrow March fourteenth, down at the Bank, starting at 1:30:05.320 --> 1:30:09.200 eleven forty five. So this route it's a pretty small well, 1:30:09.240 --> 1:30:11.840 it's a bit it's an oddly big barad in regards 1:30:11.880 --> 1:30:14.360 to how many floats there are, but the route itself 1:30:14.400 --> 1:30:16.920 is pretty small. It's down by Marringway and Central av 1:30:17.720 --> 1:30:19.919 You get every single Irish bar that you could possibly 1:30:19.960 --> 1:30:23.000 think of all of the Irish dancers making their way. 1:30:23.120 --> 1:30:27.280 You get the bagpipes and the Grand Marshal is Tony Pipe. 1:30:27.320 --> 1:30:30.919 Oh my god, how did he? How did he useph 1:30:31.160 --> 1:30:36.439 feed that of his? He even Irish Pike Pike. 1:30:36.400 --> 1:30:40.040 It was thin Tony O'Malley or something that I'd be okay, 1:30:40.240 --> 1:30:40.920 Tony Ryan. 1:30:42.600 --> 1:30:44.519 He's a tall guy, bless it. 1:30:44.520 --> 1:30:49.120 It is sponsored by Guinnis uh and I am not again, 1:30:49.160 --> 1:30:51.320 I'm not a beer drinker, as you know, but you 1:30:51.400 --> 1:30:53.559 gotta have a couple of green beers, maybe a Guinnis 1:30:53.640 --> 1:30:55.720 or two. Yeah, so that's a. 1:30:55.720 --> 1:30:57.559 Cut back with Pike. Pike likes to drink. I like 1:30:57.600 --> 1:31:00.479 Tony because he's a you like. Yeah, yeah yeah. 1:31:00.560 --> 1:31:02.840 The last time we all hung out, what was the 1:31:02.840 --> 1:31:03.479 the bar. 1:31:03.360 --> 1:31:07.439 And Redding that we would that yeah, yeah yeah. Austin 1:31:07.560 --> 1:31:09.599 was still of course, spend there for two thousand years. 1:31:09.600 --> 1:31:11.640 We'll be there for two thousand more. Austin Olmore is 1:31:11.680 --> 1:31:13.960 a celebrity bartender. That night we got to keep all 1:31:13.960 --> 1:31:15.439 the money. He made more money I think in one 1:31:15.520 --> 1:31:17.200 night than he does in a month here. It's pretty good. 1:31:17.280 --> 1:31:19.880 I do remember him questioning whether he should have a 1:31:19.920 --> 1:31:20.559 career change. 1:31:20.640 --> 1:31:25.760 Yes, that bar is looking good. That was a good 1:31:25.840 --> 1:31:26.880 night man, that was a lot of fun. 1:31:26.960 --> 1:31:30.200 We should recreate that. If you're listening, Augie, let's go. 1:31:30.240 --> 1:31:31.559 We got to run that one back for you. 1:31:31.600 --> 1:31:33.519 So honestly, Augies would probably be a great place to 1:31:33.520 --> 1:31:34.599 celebrate Saint Patty's Day. 1:31:34.640 --> 1:31:35.840 Yeah, nice little small bar. 1:31:36.080 --> 1:31:38.680 Let's because dive bars, right, dive bars. Dive bars are 1:31:38.680 --> 1:31:42.360 the best dive bars, the epitome of Irish bars. And 1:31:42.560 --> 1:31:44.920 let's see so downtown if you are celebrating with the 1:31:44.920 --> 1:31:49.320 same Patties Day parade, the Red leper Red Leprechaun is 1:31:49.360 --> 1:31:52.560 the spot. The Holy Grail obviously always does something. O'Malley's 1:31:52.560 --> 1:31:54.880 in the Alley. This is my personal favorite. If you're 1:31:54.920 --> 1:31:58.360 really looking to go authentic and classic. You got Murphy's 1:31:58.400 --> 1:32:02.120 Pub in over the Ryan Clifton area, Cobblestone. They've been 1:32:02.160 --> 1:32:05.960 doing they have new ownership over in OTR Cobblestone got 1:32:06.000 --> 1:32:09.160 it and it's really nice because every season they're you know, 1:32:09.439 --> 1:32:11.120 they'll throw at Valentine's Day and. 1:32:11.080 --> 1:32:12.200 It'll last you about a month. 1:32:12.200 --> 1:32:14.200 They're doing that for Saint Patty's Day, which is great. 1:32:14.240 --> 1:32:16.960 Crowley's Molly Malone. 1:32:16.680 --> 1:32:20.519 Molly Malone's, and that is these staples. So if and 1:32:20.560 --> 1:32:23.479 if you want to really celebrate on Tuesday, on Saint 1:32:23.560 --> 1:32:26.000 Patti's Day, they are doing their staple. It's an all 1:32:26.080 --> 1:32:28.840 day festivity. They pop up the tent, they do green 1:32:28.840 --> 1:32:31.760 eggs and ham, they have multiple bands, take the next 1:32:31.840 --> 1:32:35.040 day off. They're playing any of the soccer matches or 1:32:35.080 --> 1:32:37.320 football matches that you could possibly think of. The fish 1:32:37.360 --> 1:32:39.519 and chips are going, the green beer is going. So 1:32:39.520 --> 1:32:43.720 if you're gonna actually really celebrate on Tuesday, go to 1:32:44.080 --> 1:32:49.160 O'Malley's or not. O'Malley's, Molly Malone's in Covington, and of 1:32:49.160 --> 1:32:50.720 course r P. McMurphy's. 1:32:51.040 --> 1:32:53.360 You've got what's the Irish bar we met at We 1:32:53.479 --> 1:32:59.760 remember a while ago, was in Kentucky. I forget where 1:32:59.800 --> 1:33:08.479 it was us. I can't remember Malone. No, no, no, no, 1:33:09.240 --> 1:33:11.759 I think we're actually we're headed out of town that weekend, 1:33:11.800 --> 1:33:13.439 I think. And I was hard to get the CVG. 1:33:13.560 --> 1:33:14.439 I thought this is. 1:33:14.439 --> 1:33:18.400 Gonna be one of those FLI moments where we remember it. Yeah, yeah, 1:33:18.400 --> 1:33:20.920 you think about it too. In addition to all of 1:33:20.960 --> 1:33:25.640 our classic Irish pubs, the Red Leprechaun is hosting festivities 1:33:25.720 --> 1:33:30.400 all weekend long. Along with Ryan Geist, Braxton is hosting 1:33:30.479 --> 1:33:35.920 a seven bar bar crawl the winter House situation on 1:33:35.960 --> 1:33:39.519 Fountain Square. They're going to be having live music, green beer, 1:33:39.760 --> 1:33:44.559 all of that jazz, uh you name it. Just head downtown. Okay, 1:33:44.640 --> 1:33:47.519 there's gonna be something happening. There's a hot chance we're 1:33:47.520 --> 1:33:51.080 going to run into each other. These are these are 1:33:51.080 --> 1:33:54.639 my people and the bagpipes. I'm sure we'll be out 1:33:54.640 --> 1:33:58.080 and about. That's wait, where I remember where we were 1:33:58.439 --> 1:34:01.200 the pub? Was it just a yeah, yeah, yeah, where 1:34:01.200 --> 1:34:02.960 we grabbed dinner and then I took the dishware. 1:34:04.240 --> 1:34:05.040 Yeah, which is good. 1:34:05.200 --> 1:34:07.000 Yeah, because I ordered a show shepherd. 1:34:07.880 --> 1:34:09.360 Remember there's a lot of pubs though. 1:34:09.600 --> 1:34:12.160 It's the same one that's also in Rookwood. It's like 1:34:12.200 --> 1:34:13.200 the Crestview pubs. 1:34:13.280 --> 1:34:16.040 Okay, it was good though. The food was really really good. 1:34:16.320 --> 1:34:21.040 It was fantastic. So that's happening all weekend long. Speaking 1:34:21.160 --> 1:34:23.880 of fun divy bars, I think I might have found 1:34:23.920 --> 1:34:27.240 one of my new favorite spots. And if you if 1:34:27.280 --> 1:34:29.840 you have never heard of it, or you try to 1:34:29.880 --> 1:34:32.920 look this up online, good luck. It has basically no 1:34:33.080 --> 1:34:37.439 digital footprint. It's called high Water Saloon. 1:34:38.040 --> 1:34:39.760 No digital footprint, that's what I want. 1:34:39.840 --> 1:34:42.559 Did good luck finding it. It's off of old Route eight, 1:34:42.680 --> 1:34:44.880 so you know it's gonna be a bumpy ride getting there. 1:34:48.280 --> 1:34:51.160 And came across this because the week that I bailed 1:34:51.160 --> 1:34:53.080 on you for the barrel pick at ten o'clock in 1:34:53.080 --> 1:34:56.680 the morning coming back from Augusta, Kentucky. So if you're 1:34:56.680 --> 1:34:59.400 going to and from Augusta, this is one of those 1:34:59.600 --> 1:35:03.519 must up places. And let me tell you, if every 1:35:03.680 --> 1:35:06.280 dive bar it had to close down, they shut down 1:35:06.320 --> 1:35:09.760 and you would consolidate into one. All of them have 1:35:09.880 --> 1:35:13.000 come into one, into this, into this place called High 1:35:13.000 --> 1:35:17.080 Water Saloon, and it is there's so many lights, there's 1:35:17.120 --> 1:35:20.000 so many pinball machines, there's so much to look at. 1:35:20.080 --> 1:35:22.840 So much is happening. And the owners they are from 1:35:22.960 --> 1:35:26.559 Vegas and they decided to leave Vegas post COVID all 1:35:26.600 --> 1:35:29.960 the craziness and find a spot out here and settle in. 1:35:30.240 --> 1:35:34.080 And so there's like a lot of Neon signs they have. Yeah, 1:35:34.080 --> 1:35:37.479 they have lawn chairs outside. It's just it's really hard 1:35:37.520 --> 1:35:39.000 to explain unless they. 1:35:39.040 --> 1:35:40.960 Got lawn chairs inside or outside. 1:35:41.479 --> 1:35:45.160 Ball the above inside and outside, so many different lights. 1:35:45.200 --> 1:35:48.920 There is something to look at in every single again, 1:35:48.960 --> 1:35:52.720 every dive bar has been consolidated into one. Yeah, this 1:35:52.880 --> 1:35:55.120 is it, and it's got It's like a gas station 1:35:55.280 --> 1:35:59.479 that's not a gas station. There's a pool table, I've 1:35:59.479 --> 1:36:02.760 got foods, ball. Yeah, they have a pool table, they 1:36:02.760 --> 1:36:07.120 have foosball, they have pinball, a little music set up 1:36:07.160 --> 1:36:12.360 in a corner. Colectic, eclectic, and then it's almost like 1:36:12.360 --> 1:36:15.040 a little gas station set up is inside because they 1:36:15.040 --> 1:36:17.920 have all curated snacks. I guess if you were at 1:36:17.920 --> 1:36:21.559 a gas station making a trip. Yeah, okay, so it's 1:36:21.720 --> 1:36:24.880 it's everything really cool. You can watch some sports, hang out. 1:36:24.920 --> 1:36:29.439 The owners were really really Melbourne, Melbourne, Kentucky off of 1:36:29.520 --> 1:36:34.280 Old Route eight. It's called high Water Saloon and I 1:36:34.280 --> 1:36:36.560 imagine it's going to be a great biker bar destination 1:36:36.760 --> 1:36:39.720 just knowing where it is. Highly recommend it. 1:36:40.000 --> 1:36:40.439 Check it out. 1:36:40.439 --> 1:36:42.439 This is one of those off the radar spots. Good 1:36:42.520 --> 1:36:43.599 luck looking it up because. 1:36:44.160 --> 1:36:46.479 You're not gonna, okay that I love those off the 1:36:46.479 --> 1:36:50.759 beaten paths. Yeah, no YELP, no Facebook, no X, no Insta, 1:36:51.080 --> 1:36:51.879 not p Interest. 1:36:52.479 --> 1:36:56.320 Nothing I will do on my no interest, even though 1:36:56.320 --> 1:36:58.800 they say, even though I say, no digital footprint, I 1:36:58.840 --> 1:36:59.880 will probably post. 1:37:00.080 --> 1:37:02.120 You will, okay, so you'll claim it. 1:37:02.400 --> 1:37:04.320 I will claim it because I haven't seen anybody else 1:37:04.400 --> 1:37:04.600 do it. 1:37:04.680 --> 1:37:05.080 I like that. 1:37:05.920 --> 1:37:09.760 Here we go if you're looking to totally shift gears here. 1:37:10.200 --> 1:37:15.240 So the Cincinnati Theater or Sinciety Children's Theater, they have recently, 1:37:15.280 --> 1:37:17.120 and we've talked about it a little bit, how they've 1:37:17.120 --> 1:37:20.320 taken over their new space in the Emory Building downtown 1:37:21.000 --> 1:37:24.120 and American Legacy tours. They are now actually starting to 1:37:24.240 --> 1:37:26.519 do behind the scenes tours. 1:37:26.720 --> 1:37:26.880 Now. 1:37:26.920 --> 1:37:28.680 This is kind of rare, and they're not doing it 1:37:28.720 --> 1:37:30.920 all the time because a lot of the times the 1:37:31.000 --> 1:37:34.880 children Theater, the Children's Theater is in there performing and 1:37:35.320 --> 1:37:39.160 just this weekend and next weekend only, so the fourteenth, fifteenth, 1:37:39.439 --> 1:37:41.800 the twenty first, and the twenty second, you can go 1:37:41.920 --> 1:37:45.080 behind the scenes of this theater and see all of 1:37:45.120 --> 1:37:50.320 the new renovations. They have a standalone world renowned lift 1:37:50.479 --> 1:37:54.800 that's one of a kind. They invest an elevator so 1:37:54.840 --> 1:37:58.160 you know on the stage nowt yeah, like the stage 1:37:58.840 --> 1:38:02.439 out of the stage the weekend, like exactly like the weekend, 1:38:02.479 --> 1:38:05.120 and it's the largest stage lift in the country apparently. 1:38:05.920 --> 1:38:06.280 Yeah. 1:38:06.320 --> 1:38:10.000 Crazy, And they've invested over fifty one million in this 1:38:10.120 --> 1:38:13.559 glow up in this space. Allegedly it's haunted. It used 1:38:13.600 --> 1:38:16.840 to be home of the Mighty Well Wurlitzer Oregon. So 1:38:16.880 --> 1:38:20.840 there's just so much history in this space. Martin Luther 1:38:21.000 --> 1:38:23.679 King spoke at one point in time there the same 1:38:23.680 --> 1:38:26.880 thing with Eleanor Roosevelt. So when and if and when 1:38:26.920 --> 1:38:29.559 you take this tour with American Legacy Tours, you learn 1:38:29.600 --> 1:38:33.240 all about it. But you also see the renovations and it, honestly, 1:38:33.320 --> 1:38:37.559 it is beautiful. And right now their only available spots 1:38:37.600 --> 1:38:40.559 are March fourteenth at two p which is this Saturday, 1:38:40.600 --> 1:38:43.559 and then March twenty second at two p so they're 1:38:43.600 --> 1:38:46.679 going fast. But if you like history and you enjoy 1:38:46.760 --> 1:38:49.400 theater and you want to support children's theater as well 1:38:49.439 --> 1:38:52.240 as American Legacy Tapers, yeah, it's it's. 1:38:52.120 --> 1:38:54.520 Really cool, like one of those one of those treasures 1:38:54.520 --> 1:38:56.559 that no one knows about, the Memory Theater. 1:38:56.800 --> 1:39:00.040 Yeah, And I don't think people realize the significance of 1:39:00.200 --> 1:39:04.240 the history of just that building in general, because yes, 1:39:04.800 --> 1:39:07.240 part of that building is a theater, but it's a 1:39:07.280 --> 1:39:09.360 much bigger billy because it's the same building that's attached 1:39:09.360 --> 1:39:11.840 with coffee and porium and at one point in time, 1:39:11.880 --> 1:39:14.519 it was an element of a production plant. Now it's 1:39:14.840 --> 1:39:18.639 condos and apartments. There's a basketball court that's in that building. 1:39:19.720 --> 1:39:22.639 It's weird but very cool, a lot of history. 1:39:22.680 --> 1:39:25.000 They got snacks, they got lawn chares in there. They 1:39:25.040 --> 1:39:33.760 got flamingos, Flamingo pretty good, britty good well Al Martin 1:39:33.800 --> 1:39:34.479 in the local Loop. 1:39:34.920 --> 1:39:36.599 You know I love a good silent disco. 1:39:36.880 --> 1:39:37.679 Yeah, what is that again? 1:39:37.720 --> 1:39:40.000 We talked about this a couple of months ago and 1:39:40.040 --> 1:39:42.040 they're bringing it back. This is where you will see. 1:39:42.080 --> 1:39:45.760 You have new fancy headphones you that would work theater, 1:39:46.320 --> 1:39:48.160 and when you buy a ticket, you go and there 1:39:48.200 --> 1:39:50.439 are three DJs and they give you a pair of 1:39:50.479 --> 1:39:53.560 headphones and they light up in different colors, so you 1:39:53.600 --> 1:39:56.400 have three different stations to listen to. And you just 1:39:56.479 --> 1:39:58.120 go and you hang out and you dance. 1:39:58.160 --> 1:40:01.200 And it's really funny just dancing to a different groove 1:40:01.360 --> 1:40:03.280 because there's three different DJs. 1:40:02.920 --> 1:40:05.280 Three different DJs, and they're kind of competing against each other. 1:40:05.320 --> 1:40:09.600 And I bring this up again because I'm big on 1:40:09.720 --> 1:40:11.759 trying to get people to go out and just do things. 1:40:11.840 --> 1:40:13.599 These days, I feel like it's hard sometimes to pull 1:40:13.640 --> 1:40:15.919 people out of their homes, whether people have social anxiety, 1:40:15.960 --> 1:40:18.639 whatever it might be. And this is a really, really 1:40:18.680 --> 1:40:21.880 great way to connect with people if you like music 1:40:21.960 --> 1:40:25.280 and you like to dance, where you don't necessarily have 1:40:25.400 --> 1:40:27.839 to talk to people, but you can kind of vibe 1:40:28.400 --> 1:40:30.479 and just be if you don't want to tell you 1:40:30.520 --> 1:40:32.040 can or you can. 1:40:32.280 --> 1:40:34.680 That is gen z stuff of all time. I know 1:40:34.680 --> 1:40:37.759 you're millennial, but it's centainly because it's a social gathering, 1:40:37.800 --> 1:40:39.439 but you don't have to talk to people. You can 1:40:39.479 --> 1:40:41.360 be in your own world while you're around other people. 1:40:41.439 --> 1:40:42.840 It's the most self absorbed. 1:40:43.280 --> 1:40:45.320 Is it self absorbing? Is it just fun? 1:40:45.439 --> 1:40:48.240 Well, it's fun, yeah, but if you think about it 1:40:48.280 --> 1:40:50.639 for longer than thirty seconds ago, it's kind of self 1:40:50.680 --> 1:40:53.280 absorbed because the whole point of live music is to 1:40:53.320 --> 1:40:55.800 bring people together in unison, and if you have three 1:40:55.840 --> 1:40:59.080 different things and headphones or not, there's no interaction there 1:40:59.120 --> 1:40:59.400 is there. 1:40:59.439 --> 1:41:01.280 I get what you're saying. I just think this is 1:41:01.320 --> 1:41:03.920 a totally different concept, like I wouldn't it's cool. 1:41:03.960 --> 1:41:04.599 Don't get me wrong. 1:41:04.600 --> 1:41:07.880 I say that it was created to you know, keep 1:41:08.160 --> 1:41:09.200 social isolation. 1:41:09.439 --> 1:41:10.840 That got for bluetooth, right. 1:41:10.880 --> 1:41:14.240 Yeah, what about the hard wire? 1:41:14.600 --> 1:41:16.920 Don't have to go anywhere. Yeah, because all the chords 1:41:16.960 --> 1:41:20.240 that to be so we tried. 1:41:20.000 --> 1:41:22.479 To because a game of jump up. 1:41:22.560 --> 1:41:24.920 We tried to do this at nineteen seventy two, and 1:41:24.960 --> 1:41:27.559 it's just a lot of people got strangled, trip broke legs. 1:41:27.600 --> 1:41:28.559 It's just it didn't work. 1:41:28.640 --> 1:41:29.759 They didn't understand the ground. 1:41:30.600 --> 1:41:33.160 We right, we brought it back and now okay, now 1:41:33.160 --> 1:41:35.760 it's wireless. Okay, I got it. The fact that this 1:41:36.520 --> 1:41:40.000 strangled to death there listen to thirty eight special. All right, 1:41:40.080 --> 1:41:42.240 so there's three different So do you know what the music, 1:41:42.240 --> 1:41:43.040 what the playlists are. 1:41:43.240 --> 1:41:45.559 Yeah, So what's great is you have three different DJs. 1:41:45.600 --> 1:41:48.640 One DJ is more modern dance tunes, another one's more 1:41:48.800 --> 1:41:52.679 EDM focused, and then the third one is seventies, eighties, nineties. 1:41:53.080 --> 1:41:55.200 And my favorite part about it, Number one, I love 1:41:55.240 --> 1:41:57.040 to dance, So it doesn't matter I'm going to be 1:41:57.080 --> 1:42:00.559 there anyway. Is you could kind of see the change 1:42:00.600 --> 1:42:04.320 color and see which DJ is sort of taking control 1:42:04.360 --> 1:42:04.800 of the dance. 1:42:05.280 --> 1:42:07.920 Is all the colors changed on the headphones? 1:42:08.080 --> 1:42:11.599 Yeah, wow, steps. 1:42:10.600 --> 1:42:13.479 In, Yeah you do, and your thought you just keep 1:42:13.479 --> 1:42:16.360 pressing the button.

It's been 1:42:35.120 --> 1:42:36.800 working on it for fifty years. 1:42:36.920 --> 1:42:38.280 A fuse blows like, I. 1:42:38.240 --> 1:42:41.200 Can't get this not out.
