WEBVTT - Sterling -- 10/24/26 0:00:00.630 --> 0:00:01.040 Now 5-2. 0:00:01.070 --> 0:00:04.950 The gauntlet in the Big 12 has begun. First win 0:00:04.990 --> 0:00:09.430 in that fight today at Nippert Stadium. 0:00:09.450 --> 0:00:09.809 37-24. 0:00:09.910 --> 0:00:13.760 Bearcats over Texas Tech. Next is Utah at Nippert. They're 0:00:13.820 --> 0:00:16.639 ranked No. 14. And then on it goes the rest 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:19.860 of the way. Lots happening. Also, Bengals on the road 0:00:19.900 --> 0:00:22.980 in Baltimore tomorrow. 1 o'clock kickoff. Back from the bye. 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:27.180 Looking to get at it. And on the line now because. 0:00:28.740 --> 0:00:33.239 It's election season because she's available to share mass quantities 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:36.130 of information stored in her brain. She's the former head 0:00:36.150 --> 0:00:38.870 of political science at Wright State. She is a Cincinnati 0:00:38.890 --> 0:00:41.630 kid now, professor, mayor to Dr. Donish Lake. Welcome back 0:00:41.650 --> 0:00:43.550 to 700 WLW with Sterling. 0:00:43.570 --> 0:00:44.019 How are you? 0:00:45.060 --> 0:00:48.940 Sterling, we are definitely in this silly season. 0:00:49.460 --> 0:00:50.880 Silly is a word. 0:00:52.030 --> 0:00:56.650 Listen, I don't care where people fall in the political spectrum, left, right, 0:00:56.790 --> 0:01:00.810 in between, whatever else. I'm curious about this because over 0:01:00.850 --> 0:01:03.779 these last couple of election cycles, we hear people say, 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.440 don't pay attention to the polling, yet more polls than 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:12.029 ever are publicized. And whether it's jive polls, legitimate polls 0:01:12.110 --> 0:01:14.070 or otherwise, what I want to ask you, because I 0:01:14.110 --> 0:01:17.429 know you've studied this every which way. When did political 0:01:17.490 --> 0:01:21.550 polling become public fodder for the public to look at 0:01:21.810 --> 0:01:24.900 in the worry for turnout issues for either side of 0:01:25.830 --> 0:01:26.899 any election situation? 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:27.960 Because this is just weird. 0:01:29.450 --> 0:01:34.200 In our lifetimes, I'd have to say the 2016 election. 0:01:34.459 --> 0:01:37.850 That was the turning point. How can the polls miss 0:01:38.450 --> 0:01:42.030 that big a chunk of public opinion? So we've got 0:01:42.069 --> 0:01:47.150 at least a good 13 years here. Rather than tracking 0:01:47.310 --> 0:01:49.590 every poll, and you know, several of them who've been 0:01:49.630 --> 0:01:53.980 so wildly wrong have gone out of business lately. I 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.520 watch things like the Cook Political Report, which is, it 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.840 strives to be neutral, and they just altered the Ohio 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:07.710 gubernatorial race. And I did catch both President Trump's remarks 0:02:07.790 --> 0:02:11.010 earlier this week at Northern Kentucky and President Obama, who 0:02:11.030 --> 0:02:17.440 just recently spoke today. It is about turnout, right? This 0:02:17.540 --> 0:02:19.780 is the point in time when we all say, this 0:02:19.900 --> 0:02:23.560 is when you turn out. And the big guns to 0:02:23.980 --> 0:02:27.780 former presidents are on the hustings right now in tight 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.310 races where many of us didn't expect that they would 0:02:31.350 --> 0:02:35.590 be quite this tight. But yeah, Sterling, we've got at 0:02:35.630 --> 0:02:38.760 least a decade and more long problem with polling and 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.980 people responding to polling and people not having landlines and 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.520 answering them. There are a number of things that have 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:50.440 gone into it. We're going to have a turnout assessment 0:02:50.580 --> 0:02:55.270 after this election. The women's vote, which I think could 0:02:55.330 --> 0:03:00.010 be impacted by the ad that we've all been talking about. 0:03:00.030 --> 0:03:00.870 Latino vote. 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:07.230 Young people are voting. Fortunately, we're not in France or 0:03:07.250 --> 0:03:10.070 Italy or another European country where they're in the streets. 0:03:10.490 --> 0:03:12.850 Yeah, what a crazy situation that is. And a lot 0:03:12.870 --> 0:03:16.500 of that has been misinformation and deliberate sort of stirring 0:03:16.530 --> 0:03:19.579 of the pot from outside entities, too. How much of 0:03:19.620 --> 0:03:22.320 a concern is that here stateside when we talk about 0:03:22.380 --> 0:03:26.420 social media and outside entities looking to cause problems in 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:27.060 our society? 0:03:29.190 --> 0:03:33.740 In demonstrations in the United States, I mean, we've heard 0:03:33.780 --> 0:03:38.280 the accusations of paid protesters, etc. But we want to 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:43.270 see the numbers as people actually turn out. I would 0:03:43.310 --> 0:03:46.090 never underestimate the ability to pay somebody to do something 0:03:46.130 --> 0:03:46.770 really stupid. 0:03:48.550 --> 0:03:50.660 I do stuff stupid for free all the time. 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:57.140 And feelings are running very, very high. Sentiments are extremely 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:02.840 strong right now. When I listened to Obama's comments today, 0:04:02.900 --> 0:04:08.070 he focused a bit on how much decency is it 0:04:08.150 --> 0:04:11.730 right for American people to expect from their candidates and 0:04:11.790 --> 0:04:16.700 from their leaders. It kind of struck me. And that's, 0:04:16.779 --> 0:04:19.200 of course, a reflection of the way we talk to 0:04:19.260 --> 0:04:24.039 each other. We talk about the candidates. But I thought 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.700 that question just sort of stuck in my mind. What 0:04:26.740 --> 0:04:29.500 do people expect? Now, this is an election, and people 0:04:29.550 --> 0:04:31.950 will be trying to tell us what they need and 0:04:32.010 --> 0:04:35.070 what they want. And if they feel that you're not 0:04:35.190 --> 0:04:38.789 hearing their needs and speaking to them in that level 0:04:38.830 --> 0:04:42.530 of language that you and I call policy, policy solutions— 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.220 that's when the frustration mounts. I think that's part of 0:04:47.380 --> 0:04:50.820 what young people in Europe right now are. And they 0:04:50.860 --> 0:04:54.560 have the same pressures. The economy isn't great. There's not housing. 0:04:54.580 --> 0:04:58.060 There are employment issues. People are worried about AI. You know, 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:02.340 it's a very similar, very familiar set of issues. But 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.260 their statement is when they're out in the streets, you 0:05:05.300 --> 0:05:07.900 don't hear us. So they're going to insist that we 0:05:08.110 --> 0:05:11.880 see them. Whether that leads to policy changes, of course, 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:16.919 that's the political meat grinder and the sausage maker process. 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:21.780 But feelings are really high. This is going to be 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:25.200 a remarkable midterm election. You know, we always say our 0:05:25.310 --> 0:05:28.190 old cliche in my line of work is, well, it'll 0:05:28.210 --> 0:05:31.350 be turnout. And, you know, this is, you know, if 0:05:31.410 --> 0:05:34.230 you want to amend your decisions, this is your chance 0:05:34.310 --> 0:05:39.250 to do that. but sentiments are high. We have a 0:05:39.350 --> 0:05:41.530 war going on right now in the middle of this 0:05:41.570 --> 0:05:42.610 midterm election. 0:05:42.750 --> 0:05:44.630 Higher prices and everything to go into it. Let me 0:05:44.670 --> 0:05:46.849 reintroduce you before we continue. She is the former head 0:05:46.870 --> 0:05:49.490 of political science, now professor of merit from Wright State, Dr. 0:05:49.510 --> 0:05:51.560 Donna Schlenk with Sterling on the big one. You talk 0:05:51.570 --> 0:05:53.540 about these other things. Yes, there's the war. There's the 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:57.320 cost associated. There's the issue with tariffs and the increased 0:05:57.380 --> 0:05:59.920 cost and all the other things. And of course, the 0:05:59.940 --> 0:06:03.630 geopolitical issue of the plate spinning and you see Russia 0:06:03.650 --> 0:06:05.890 and you see China and sort of what appears to 0:06:05.930 --> 0:06:07.790 be more of a divvying up. We've talked a better 0:06:07.810 --> 0:06:11.430 part of the year about that. Is stuff seemingly sort 0:06:11.450 --> 0:06:14.830 of playing out, sort of maybe carving up the world 0:06:14.890 --> 0:06:17.750 in some fashion, as they did, say, post-World War I, 0:06:17.810 --> 0:06:21.190 maybe even in some fashion, World War II. How much 0:06:21.230 --> 0:06:23.669 does that play into turnout at this point? I mean, 0:06:23.690 --> 0:06:27.240 because everything is local and there is some of the 0:06:27.270 --> 0:06:30.860 talk about policy from one state to another and other 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.020 people running for offices but when it comes to the 0:06:33.060 --> 0:06:38.060 tri-state it comes to cincinnati northern kentucky uh southern indiana 0:06:38.500 --> 0:06:41.669 and even up the miami valley those things don't necessarily 0:06:41.700 --> 0:06:44.390 mean that much to our everyday lives yet that is 0:06:44.550 --> 0:06:47.969 often what we hear the politicos talking about why is 0:06:48.029 --> 0:06:49.989 that is that one of those things where the negative 0:06:50.029 --> 0:06:52.150 thing and the fear and the boogeyman and the the 0:06:52.210 --> 0:06:55.290 monster in the room appropriately for halloween season is what 0:06:55.330 --> 0:06:58.170 maybe turns people out because we are motivated by fear. 0:06:59.430 --> 0:07:04.030 Oh, definitely, definitely. Fear of the other, whether it's a 0:07:04.089 --> 0:07:10.470 communist or a jihadist. I was struck by Sherrod Brown's 0:07:10.530 --> 0:07:14.890 comments recently about all those people up in northern Ohio, especially, 0:07:15.110 --> 0:07:20.060 who are from immigrant families, maybe decades ago, but they 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:25.040 come from Ukraine, they come from Poland, they come from Estonia, Latvia, 0:07:25.060 --> 0:07:28.840 you know, they come from Countries that will mean the 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:33.220 Ukraine question at this point in time will make a 0:07:33.380 --> 0:07:34.870 possible difference. 0:07:34.550 --> 0:07:35.310 In how they vote. 0:07:35.910 --> 0:07:38.950 I would like to note, though, if we have just 0:07:39.010 --> 0:07:43.270 a moment to talk about Ukraine. Our members of Congress 0:07:43.390 --> 0:07:44.910 have sent a signal to. 0:07:44.790 --> 0:07:45.489 The White House. 0:07:46.170 --> 0:07:49.570 That if we don't turn around our support for Ukraine, 0:07:50.110 --> 0:07:53.450 get them the intel, get them the weapons, and certainly 0:07:53.650 --> 0:07:59.710 put the Starlink, that system back up immediately. Republicans and 0:07:59.770 --> 0:08:01.740 Democrats have said, we're not going to move one of 0:08:01.780 --> 0:08:02.880 your nominees forward. 0:08:04.140 --> 0:08:06.720 What does this mean on another part of that? Because 0:08:07.420 --> 0:08:09.760 at first you had Elon Musk, and it's his company 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:13.510 that provides that technology that's paid for by us or 0:08:13.610 --> 0:08:16.550 other entities around the world for whatever services, just like 0:08:16.590 --> 0:08:20.070 anything else where you get streaming, whatever. In that circumstance, 0:08:20.330 --> 0:08:22.930 he said it was the White House. The White House said, no, 0:08:23.050 --> 0:08:25.350 it wasn't, and it was him. So if you have 0:08:25.430 --> 0:08:28.220 someone who runs a company, and it's a defense contractor 0:08:28.300 --> 0:08:31.100 of sorts, whether it's for us or for our allies, 0:08:31.140 --> 0:08:34.179 and we certainly limit those that we do business with 0:08:34.220 --> 0:08:37.060 and what they do internationally in some fashion, if they 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.080 go rogue and do what they want, and I don't 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:44.679 care political affiliation or otherwise, what is the ramification for that? 0:08:44.830 --> 0:08:47.650 Because I've heard stories in World War II where, say, 0:08:47.690 --> 0:08:50.490 for instance, there was some manufacturing issue in tool and 0:08:50.530 --> 0:08:53.370 dye in an aircraft that caused loss of life, and 0:08:53.390 --> 0:08:56.340 they went after those people. They destroyed them financially, and 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.480 in many cases, in some anyway, locked them up. But 0:08:59.500 --> 0:09:02.020 that's not a situation I see with Musk or anybody 0:09:02.100 --> 0:09:06.450 else at that level making such decisions allegedly autonomously. 0:09:08.330 --> 0:09:12.610 We will not leave this question behind after this election. 0:09:13.010 --> 0:09:15.530 But what do you do with an Elon Musk who 0:09:15.610 --> 0:09:20.959 is pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into your candidates' campaigns? 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.319 We have to ask, do we have any leverage over 0:09:26.380 --> 0:09:30.990 him whatsoever at this point? You know there's a four-hour-long 0:09:31.050 --> 0:09:33.950 documentary on Elon Musk that just hit the theaters. 0:09:35.590 --> 0:09:36.270 Four hours. 0:09:36.410 --> 0:09:41.010 I'm assuming they're going to have a short break there 0:09:41.050 --> 0:09:43.870 periodically for people. But this will be one of the 0:09:43.910 --> 0:09:47.960 big questions that carries over after the election. We haven't 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:52.609 lost Americans in that battle, not yet. But the latest 0:09:52.650 --> 0:09:55.850 reports have just come out about the Iran war. Now 0:09:55.890 --> 0:09:59.469 we're up to 21 Americans. They're finally releasing some of 0:09:59.510 --> 0:10:02.260 the information. on the damage done to our bases. 0:10:02.860 --> 0:10:03.600 It's massive. 0:10:04.059 --> 0:10:07.540 So our fifth fleet is headquartered there in Bahrain. We 0:10:07.580 --> 0:10:11.330 might just have to abandon it altogether. What does it 0:10:11.410 --> 0:10:13.949 take to build a new base for the fifth fleet? 0:10:14.710 --> 0:10:18.530 And the numbers are beyond what most people can get 0:10:18.580 --> 0:10:21.660 their arms around. They're still struck by what the grocery 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.339 bill is and what it costs to fill up their tank. 0:10:24.380 --> 0:10:26.740 Yeah, because that's home. That's now. 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.160 That's this afternoon when you go to the store before 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.880 the kids come home from whatever they're doing today before 0:10:31.900 --> 0:10:34.990 you get the grill going or you get tomorrow's Sunday 0:10:35.030 --> 0:10:38.449 brunch going and check out some Bengals. That's what immediately 0:10:38.510 --> 0:10:39.090 faces us. 0:10:39.110 --> 0:10:39.350 Dr. 0:10:39.370 --> 0:10:41.490 Donna Schleich, the former head of political science at Wright State, 0:10:41.530 --> 0:10:44.449 now Professor Merida with Sterling on the big one. All 0:10:44.510 --> 0:10:46.829 these things are going on all at the same time. 0:10:48.090 --> 0:10:51.370 And on one hand, publicly, I interact with people and 0:10:51.390 --> 0:10:54.250 people seem to be getting along. But there is a tentativeness. 0:10:54.290 --> 0:10:56.380 You can feel sort of an energy. And I've talked 0:10:56.390 --> 0:10:59.220 to a lot of people about the early voting. And 0:10:59.300 --> 0:11:00.739 a lot of people, I don't want to wait in 0:11:00.780 --> 0:11:02.960 line that day. Things are going to get weird. There's 0:11:02.980 --> 0:11:05.980 a lot of fear associated with that, whether Republican, Democrat 0:11:06.020 --> 0:11:09.870 or independent or whatever else. It seems that this is 0:11:09.910 --> 0:11:13.870 monumental turnout for a midterm election. I can't remember anything 0:11:13.929 --> 0:11:16.650 quite like this. You've studied it, whether it's Hamilton County, 0:11:16.690 --> 0:11:21.290 Boone County, Kentucky, Montgomery and Dayton, Ohio, wherever else across 0:11:21.330 --> 0:11:24.690 the nation. This seems to be obviously a very motivating 0:11:24.750 --> 0:11:25.709 election season. 0:11:27.770 --> 0:11:31.959 Motivating is always the key thing for candidates. You know, 0:11:32.100 --> 0:11:35.199 if we can refer to any data that we can trust, 0:11:35.780 --> 0:11:40.500 in the 2018 election, in that first midterm that first-term 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:45.410 President Trump faced, there was a spread kind of comparable 0:11:46.030 --> 0:11:49.870 in what they call those generic ballots. But you're right. 0:11:50.610 --> 0:11:53.189 It's going to be turnout. It's going to be level 0:11:53.210 --> 0:11:56.660 of motivation. And when you talk about turnout, that also 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:01.730 means turnoff. And if, for example, we have as big 0:12:01.770 --> 0:12:06.770 a backlash as we seem to be observing regarding the ad, 0:12:08.350 --> 0:12:11.720 that will turn people off, that biggest clump of voters 0:12:11.860 --> 0:12:13.800 out there, female voters. 0:12:13.940 --> 0:12:15.620 Now, when you say turn off, does that mean I'm 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:19.220 not going to vote or motivating them and irritating them 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.920 to the point to make a statement, regardless of ideation 0:12:23.300 --> 0:12:27.160 of political nature? But just because of the idea of 0:12:27.300 --> 0:12:31.020 what that ad was and dirtiness of it. And speaking 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:35.520 of which, by the way, how bizarre is it that 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.300 you end up having a mother who's estranged, whose daughter 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.199 was taken from the home along, I think, with a 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.930 sibling in this situation and how that played out? To 0:12:42.950 --> 0:12:46.030 where someone thought that was a good idea to sling 0:12:46.050 --> 0:12:48.340 that out there, whether she was paid, I'm assuming she 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.060 must have been, to give that air, whether on the 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.880 internet or over the air or otherwise. And listen, I 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.360 want all the ad money. I want all the political 0:12:56.420 --> 0:12:58.880 spend and everybody else's. We have a big audience with 0:12:58.980 --> 0:13:02.360 ears and eyes and clicks and all that. But, I mean, 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:03.780 it's really slimy. 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.660 Slimy, good word for where we are. It will turn 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:14.190 people off and it will turn many voters on. Women, 0:13:14.309 --> 0:13:18.210 women voters in particular, are well aware of the amount of, 0:13:18.230 --> 0:13:22.260 you know, sexual violence that takes place against women. That 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:26.640 terrible case at Cornell campus, you know, where once again, 0:13:26.740 --> 0:13:28.740 she was afraid to report, you know, there were no 0:13:28.820 --> 0:13:33.460 rape kits done and A prosecutor was reluctant. All of 0:13:33.530 --> 0:13:37.199 the reasons why it is so difficult to prosecute those 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.560 cases and how many of them don't. Regardless of whether 0:13:40.580 --> 0:13:42.660 you've got a D or an R after your name, 0:13:42.980 --> 0:13:46.200 you will know people who have struggled with that, whether 0:13:46.260 --> 0:13:48.880 it's harassment or rape, child abuse. 0:13:48.900 --> 0:13:50.060 I mean, it's a long list. 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.360 And it rarely runs up to the top of the 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.540 agenda of things that we'll be talking about. But as 0:13:56.580 --> 0:13:59.720 you said, like with the gas price, it touches people 0:13:59.960 --> 0:14:01.260 very personally. 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:01.819 It does. 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:06.780 Very personally. And that is a big motivator. People don't 0:14:06.940 --> 0:14:11.420 necessarily ask the character question first. I understand that the 0:14:11.460 --> 0:14:14.670 team that put the ad together had reservations about it. 0:14:15.540 --> 0:14:17.600 So the answer was, well, let's run it online and 0:14:17.660 --> 0:14:18.830 see what the reaction is. 0:14:20.270 --> 0:14:20.570 Really? 0:14:20.590 --> 0:14:24.850 We see the reaction now, and so we're going to 0:14:24.910 --> 0:14:28.490 double down. Vice President Vance has called on Ramaswamy to 0:14:28.550 --> 0:14:29.250 hit harder. 0:14:31.090 --> 0:14:31.730 Hit harder. 0:14:31.750 --> 0:14:35.220 I don't know how much harder. We're against the wall 0:14:35.260 --> 0:14:38.360 on time on this. Yeah, speechless is a word, and 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:39.680 we could go on for this. I don't know how 0:14:39.700 --> 0:14:42.140 much fun this is for a Saturday afternoon, early evening, 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.920 whatever this is. But it's all going on, and it's 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.270 all happening, and the conversation's off the air with this, too. 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.220 Final thought in about 30 seconds, because that's all we have. 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:55.240 How much more effective are the negative ads rather than 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.750 the positive ads that say, hey, this is my plan 0:14:57.780 --> 0:15:00.190 and this is what I've accomplished? Because it seems like 0:15:00.230 --> 0:15:05.130 the negative is really the most successfully put out there product. 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.380 I think you've accurately described where we are with the 0:15:09.460 --> 0:15:13.830 confidence in negative eggs. But I would suggest, Sterling, that 0:15:13.950 --> 0:15:17.110 this might be the case study case, what happens in 0:15:17.190 --> 0:15:23.600 going too far. Somebody will observe that, yes, they tend 0:15:23.630 --> 0:15:26.400 to be effective, and this is what it costs when 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:29.720 you've gone too far. So it'll be all that backlash 0:15:29.780 --> 0:15:33.420 analysis that we'll hear about after the campaign ends. And, 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.820 you know, will it change how people spend their money 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:36.680 on ads? 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:38.060 Possibly. 0:15:38.260 --> 0:15:38.980 We'll leave it there. 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.300 We'll see what the outcome is. 0:15:41.500 --> 0:15:41.980 Yes, we will. 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:42.420 Thank you, Shirley. 0:15:42.500 --> 0:15:44.380 Oh, no, thank you for doing what you do.

Beautiful Saturday, especially for football Bearcat fans. 37-24, 0:17:15.170 --> 0:17:18.120 they get by Texas Tech. Previously unbeaten, they send them 0:17:18.220 --> 0:17:21.500 back south with a loss. As the gauntlet of the 0:17:21.580 --> 0:17:24.179 Big 12 continues, Utah rolls into Nippert next week.

Good for 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.240 the Bearcats. Big weekend, Hall of Fame induction, athletics and 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:41.230 so forth. Bob Huggins, of course.

And 0:17:59.100 --> 0:18:00.659 we'll see how that plays out. Should be a good 0:18:00.740 --> 0:18:04.800 one tomorrow afternoon. Full on coverage here. 700 WLW. We 0:18:04.859 --> 0:18:09.280 are a week away now from Halloween and trick or 0:18:09.300 --> 0:18:12.460 treat beggars night, whatever you want to call it. I 0:18:12.500 --> 0:18:16.070 know like that's a big deal for a lot of kids. 0:18:16.980 --> 0:18:19.790 I think at some point, if you're 15, 16, you 0:18:19.810 --> 0:18:21.429 can drive, you can get a job. You don't need 0:18:21.450 --> 0:18:24.260 to go door to door unless you're escorting kids. That's 0:18:24.300 --> 0:18:26.700 just my thought. You do whatever you do. It's America. 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:29.040 But I have to say this. I have a buddy 0:18:29.060 --> 0:18:31.540 of mine. We were talking about this last night when 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.419 I was doing the show and talking a little bit 0:18:34.460 --> 0:18:37.359 about Halloween. And then he said that he doesn't want 0:18:37.380 --> 0:18:40.460 to deal with it. So what he's done the last 0:18:40.550 --> 0:18:43.850 two years, and I think this actually takes more effort 0:18:43.869 --> 0:18:47.810 than coughing up the cash for some rising cost of chocolate. 0:18:47.850 --> 0:18:50.389 I buy candy I like. I buy candy that if 0:18:50.430 --> 0:18:52.429 the kids don't show up, I'm going to eat it. 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.270 or dark chocolate. I like my Reese's. I, you know 0:18:55.330 --> 0:18:57.310 what I mean? I get it that way. So my 0:18:57.350 --> 0:19:01.429 buddy goes, I'm getting candy corn and circus peanuts and 0:19:01.510 --> 0:19:06.050 Necco wafers and hot tamales and Smarties. And that's what 0:19:06.090 --> 0:19:07.510 the kids are going to get. And they will not 0:19:07.570 --> 0:19:10.390 come back. Now, some of those are better than like 0:19:10.410 --> 0:19:11.270 the hot tamales. 0:19:11.590 --> 0:19:12.210 I love that. 0:19:12.270 --> 0:19:13.450 That's a cinnamon candy. 0:19:13.510 --> 0:19:14.490 It's hot. It's chewy. 0:19:14.540 --> 0:19:18.080 It's, it's effectively pure sugar. Uh, it goes great with coffee. 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:21.660 It goes great with tea. and just on its own 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:25.070 that sort of plays along with that. I'm just curious, 0:19:25.590 --> 0:19:28.590 of all the candies, what is it that you're like, no, 0:19:28.650 --> 0:19:31.090 I'm not eating that? No, I'm not buying that. Or 0:19:31.310 --> 0:19:33.950 the difference between your kids and you and what you 0:19:33.990 --> 0:19:36.449 like and what they don't. Like, as I just had 0:19:36.490 --> 0:19:42.350 this conversation, Bitto Honey, which I remember getting that and 0:19:42.410 --> 0:19:46.520 something called Mary Jane's, which is not Mary Jane. That's 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:50.389 another term for something else that's now illegal. legal in 0:19:50.430 --> 0:19:52.210 the state of Ohio. You know, if you're of age, 0:19:52.910 --> 0:19:56.020 but the candy is different, chewy thing or whatever. Never 0:19:56.100 --> 0:19:58.600 used to like those. The other thing that used to 0:19:58.619 --> 0:20:00.940 drive me nuts. is you'd have neighbors. And I know 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:02.959 it's nice and I know it's sweet. And it was 0:20:03.060 --> 0:20:06.140 usually like old ladies and older people. When I was 0:20:06.180 --> 0:20:09.620 a little Sterling, they'd have like popcorn balls. They give 0:20:09.660 --> 0:20:12.300 you apples. And these are all things that like most 0:20:12.340 --> 0:20:14.580 of the time, parents, other than checking to make sure 0:20:14.619 --> 0:20:18.020 nobody like did something bad to the candy, which is 0:20:18.060 --> 0:20:20.460 a kid coming up and like in the late seventies, 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.240 early eighties, at that point, that was a big deal 0:20:23.260 --> 0:20:25.560 for parents. Uh, they'd say, Oh, you got to take 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.350 your candy. You can get an x-ray free at the hospital. 0:20:28.740 --> 0:20:31.940 Because people would put like razor blades or needles supposedly 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:35.800 in this stuff, which is crazy to me. And my 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:38.660 mom dealt with it very simply when I was a kid. 0:20:39.270 --> 0:20:41.750 And it was running my own gauntlet, not quite like 0:20:41.770 --> 0:20:45.850 the football Bearcats in the Big 12 football season. But 0:20:45.890 --> 0:20:48.710 it was tough because as a tiny Sterling, there were 0:20:48.770 --> 0:20:51.850 older kids who would steal your candy bags. So you 0:20:51.890 --> 0:20:54.480 had to keep an eye out for them. you had 0:20:54.500 --> 0:20:57.340 to obviously make sure that you got the candy and 0:20:57.380 --> 0:20:59.060 then you get it home. And then if I bobbed 0:20:59.140 --> 0:21:03.240 and weaved and avoided the bag thieves, which was usually 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.000 older kids who, I guess, didn't want to go door 0:21:06.020 --> 0:21:08.199 to door and they'd take advantage and snag a bag, 0:21:08.300 --> 0:21:11.060 which is terrible. That's why moms and dads going with 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:13.060 the kids is maybe a good idea for the tiny ones, 0:21:13.140 --> 0:21:16.359 for sure. The other thing that sort of goes in 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:20.180 that whole idea is checking it. Mom would check it too. 0:21:20.570 --> 0:21:23.189 And then she would take what she considered the candy 0:21:23.210 --> 0:21:25.139 that she liked. And then she would leave me the 0:21:25.180 --> 0:21:26.639 crap candy. She goes, you don't want this. I got 0:21:26.660 --> 0:21:28.500 to test it all. I got to test the candy. 0:21:28.820 --> 0:21:30.960 I got to, I'm like, it's candy. You know exactly 0:21:31.020 --> 0:21:31.399 how it is. 0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:32.369 It's good. I want it. 0:21:33.060 --> 0:21:35.639 And she'd snag all of it. You know, once in 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.500 a while you get the little baby candy bars, like 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:41.200 the Hershey's and you get like the dark chocolate. And 0:21:41.220 --> 0:21:43.359 when I was a kid, I hated that, hated it. 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:45.639 Now I'm all about the dark chocolate. I try to 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:48.140 buy that for me, you know, and all the other 0:21:48.180 --> 0:21:51.710 stuff I try to spread to the kids. Alex in 0:21:51.790 --> 0:21:54.869 Oakley says his mom loved the Bitto honey. See, I 0:21:54.890 --> 0:21:57.090 think that's an older person thing. I might be willing 0:21:57.109 --> 0:21:59.810 to try that again. He said he hates dots as well, 0:22:00.130 --> 0:22:03.429 and Twizzlers are bad. Now, see, I love Twizzlers. I 0:22:03.450 --> 0:22:06.990 don't like the black licorice, and it's not racist, okay? 0:22:07.630 --> 0:22:12.450 It's just a different flavor. I really like the cherry 0:22:12.490 --> 0:22:15.780 or strawberry Twizzler. And then there's another kind. I think 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:18.190 it's red vines that I like better. So, I mean, 0:22:18.210 --> 0:22:22.230 you got to have that sort of in between. 513-749-7800, 0:22:22.430 --> 0:22:25.889 the big one. You can talk back on the iHeartRadio app. 0:22:25.930 --> 0:22:28.240 Have a little fun here on a Saturday afternoon, Sterling, 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.619 hanging out. Donna D going to join me after 8 o'clock, 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:35.159 and then she rolls on till 9 after that. And, 0:22:35.220 --> 0:22:38.129 you know, of all the costumes and all the excitement, 0:22:38.290 --> 0:22:42.430 all the parties, Halloween on the weekend, you know, coming 0:22:42.490 --> 0:22:45.320 up in front of us. That's kind of nice. You know, 0:22:45.340 --> 0:22:47.379 then you got to stay home. And the other thing 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:49.980 my buddy talking about giving the crap candy. Do kids 0:22:50.050 --> 0:22:53.070 not because I don't have any little Sterling or Sterling ads. 0:22:54.070 --> 0:22:57.310 I only know from friends and families, kids in the neighborhood. 0:22:58.410 --> 0:23:00.690 I don't know if kids do it still. But when 0:23:00.790 --> 0:23:05.070 I was a kid, they would soap windows. They toilet 0:23:05.109 --> 0:23:08.930 paper your house or your trees and stuff like that, too. 0:23:09.350 --> 0:23:11.850 Just as a prank, whether you had candy or not. 0:23:12.630 --> 0:23:16.230 And then, of course, the lazy person's way of handling it. 0:23:16.290 --> 0:23:18.970 You may as well not leave any candy out if 0:23:19.020 --> 0:23:21.699 you're not going to give it away, right? And when 0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:24.100 we talked to Kevin Carr earlier, a conversation I had 0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:26.320 with him about the new Clayface movie that's coming up 0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:30.379 a little bit later tonight, he mentions the fact that 0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:33.919 apparently his neighborhood is insane with the kids. They go 0:23:33.940 --> 0:23:36.540 through like a thousand pieces of candy or something, which 0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:40.110 is just crazy, but good for him. If I bought 0:23:40.109 --> 0:23:44.830 1,000 pieces of candy, I would probably have easily 800 0:23:44.830 --> 0:23:49.230 or 900 pieces left. So, you know, good for him 0:23:49.410 --> 0:23:51.649 in that situation. But I'm all about the leftover, which 0:23:51.710 --> 0:23:54.890 is why I buy what I like. Because otherwise, maybe 0:23:54.930 --> 0:23:56.830 I guess if it's a sugar problem and you've got 0:23:56.850 --> 0:24:01.169 a diabetes issue, otherwise, I have it around that. When 0:24:01.190 --> 0:24:04.389 I want it, I got it. And then sometimes, last 0:24:04.430 --> 0:24:07.130 year or the year before, I had leftovers that lasted 0:24:07.170 --> 0:24:10.160 long enough to the next Halloween. And a friend of mine, 0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:12.260 she's like, you probably should just throw that away. You 0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:15.359 can't give those kids your old candy. I'm like, why? 0:24:16.050 --> 0:24:16.450 I'd eat it. 0:24:17.180 --> 0:24:19.590 And then she made me feel bad. So I bought 0:24:19.630 --> 0:24:21.730 more for the kids. And then I ate the old 0:24:21.750 --> 0:24:25.909 candy for myself. So worst candy, best candy. 0:24:26.170 --> 0:24:27.240 Yeah, we love it all. 513-749-7800, the big one. 0:24:27.250 --> 0:24:29.210 And then the classic, of course, also we had neighbors 0:24:29.230 --> 0:24:35.850 that were, one of them was a dentist. And one 0:24:35.869 --> 0:24:38.030 of the joys of that, and they were, it was 0:24:38.090 --> 0:24:41.790 smart marketing. I understand. They never gave candy. They give 0:24:41.830 --> 0:24:46.000 dental floss. They give little baby toothbrushes and little baby 0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:49.360 things of toothpaste. And it have like their information on there, 0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:52.520 which is fine. That's great. But as a kid, you know, 0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:55.080 you're eight or nine years old, seven, whatever it is 0:24:55.119 --> 0:24:57.340 that you're going around. And somebody is like, here's some 0:24:57.380 --> 0:24:59.020 dental floss. You're like, yep. 0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:00.159 We'll be back. 0:25:00.420 --> 0:25:03.600 I can certainly see this being a place I want 0:25:03.619 --> 0:25:06.419 to hang out. 513-749-7800, the big one I want to 0:25:06.460 --> 0:25:10.100 know about you, your candy situation, the good, the badly 0:25:10.220 --> 0:25:14.140 ugly of that. Candystore.com has a list of their own. 0:25:14.859 --> 0:25:17.040 They say candy corn listed as one of the most 0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:21.120 disliked candies overall. Even though it is popular in some 0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:25.290 parts of the country, it's very polarizing. People either love 0:25:25.330 --> 0:25:26.590 it or they hate it. 0:25:27.470 --> 0:25:27.770 Peeps. 0:25:28.490 --> 0:25:31.470 which I don't even think Peeps was a Halloween candy. 0:25:32.290 --> 0:25:35.609 I thought Peeps was strictly an Easter thing, and I 0:25:35.650 --> 0:25:39.859 have never understood them. You can put them in the 0:25:39.890 --> 0:25:41.820 microwave and do cool things with the Peeps because they 0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:44.399 kind of like blow up and then they melt. That's nice, 0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:47.360 but otherwise I have no purpose. It's new to their 0:25:47.420 --> 0:25:50.480 list this year. They say it's a device of texture, 0:25:50.540 --> 0:25:53.149 and I agree with that. There is something odd about it. 0:25:53.480 --> 0:25:55.710 You're either a fan or you're not. Their list also 0:25:55.750 --> 0:25:59.910 has Mary Jane's. Black licorice also. They say long time 0:25:59.950 --> 0:26:03.330 a fan favorite, but widely disliked by others. And I've 0:26:03.350 --> 0:26:04.649 come around on that a little bit. It's sort of 0:26:04.690 --> 0:26:06.830 like the dark chocolate. I've grown to appreciate it a 0:26:06.869 --> 0:26:09.990 little bit. But when I think licorice, I think cherry 0:26:10.030 --> 0:26:10.710 or strawberry. 0:26:10.770 --> 0:26:13.180 Sort of the way it goes. And this one also. 0:26:13.240 --> 0:26:13.800 Thank you, Ken. 0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:19.600 Ken on the west side says Smarties. They're too chalky. 0:26:20.500 --> 0:26:23.180 It looks like something that should be on a blackboard 0:26:23.220 --> 0:26:24.040 in elementary school. 0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:26.520 Yeah, I get that. 0:26:26.850 --> 0:26:29.710 But there is something about that bittersweet sort of like 0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:32.060 scenario where it's sweet, but then it's sort of sour, 0:26:32.100 --> 0:26:33.800 which is the Sour Patch Kids and all the things 0:26:33.820 --> 0:26:36.200 that sort of go along with that, too. So there 0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:38.780 you go. I mentioned Kevin Carr later. We'll talk on that. 0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:44.080 The Clayface movie, he'll talk on what is new in 0:26:44.140 --> 0:26:45.459 relation to that situation. 0:26:45.980 --> 0:26:47.220 And I've got a whole bunch of other things to 0:26:47.260 --> 0:26:48.900 get to, too. So hang out. Quick break. 0:26:48.940 --> 0:26:51.310 We'll come back. We'll talk on some Who Day today. 0:26:51.369 --> 0:26:54.010 Before you know it, your 6 o'clock report sooner than 0:26:54.050 --> 0:26:58.060 later as well. And yeah, we will solve the world's problems, 0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:00.300 as Ken Brew likes to say, or at least cause 0:27:00.359 --> 0:27:03.660 a few more, perhaps. So quick break. More Sterling coming back. 0:27:03.660 --> 0:27:05.159 700 WLW. 0:27:05.960 --> 0:27:08.600 I'm making an effort to better myself. That's why I 0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:11.200 moved to this eco commune where I'm building my hut 0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:14.550 from my own dung. That's also why I listen to 0:27:14.609 --> 0:27:17.410 Scott Sloan. He's a straight shooter that goes after real 0:27:17.490 --> 0:27:20.389 answers for real problems. But he also knows how to 0:27:20.430 --> 0:27:21.130 get me laughing. 0:27:21.210 --> 0:27:23.470 I face the same problems you do. So let's talk 0:27:23.530 --> 0:27:24.710 about them and have a little fun. 0:27:24.590 --> 0:27:24.980 Along the way. 0:27:25.010 --> 0:27:25.610 Just like me. 0:27:25.890 --> 0:27:28.010 Sloany's not afraid to get his hands dirty. 0:27:28.450 --> 0:27:32.620 Check out Sloany Monday morning at 9 on 700-WLW. 0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:35.959 And be sure to catch his podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:37.460 It's the house. 0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:42.000 And taking care of some errands and usual crap. You 0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:44.240 might be doing that right now on a beautiful Saturday 0:27:44.280 --> 0:27:48.680 here in the tri-state. Sterling hanging out 700 WLW. Football Bearcats, 0:27:48.720 --> 0:27:52.090 they did their work today. They got it done. Sent 0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:56.150 Texas Tech home with their first loss of the season. 0:27:56.170 --> 0:27:56.630 37-24. 0:27:57.130 --> 0:28:02.170 Next up, Utah's Utes at Nippert next Saturday in a 0:28:02.230 --> 0:28:06.060 Big 12 matchup. Glad you're along. Bengals, of course, on 0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:09.160 the road at the Ravens tomorrow. Charm City. That's Baltimore, 0:28:09.200 --> 0:28:11.709 if you didn't know. Taking on the Ravens. They are 0:28:12.109 --> 0:28:14.669 shy of Lamar Jackson again this weekend. So we'll see 0:28:14.710 --> 0:28:18.390 what that means for Bengals' ability to handle their offense 0:28:18.450 --> 0:28:21.430 over there. As well as Trey Hendrickson, of course, without 0:28:21.450 --> 0:28:23.580 the Bengals' stripes on the other side of the ball. 0:28:24.780 --> 0:28:27.399 With the dirty Raven kind of... What is it? I 0:28:27.400 --> 0:28:29.060 still don't know what the hell the difference of Raven 0:28:29.380 --> 0:28:31.379 to a Crow is. And no one has been able... 0:28:31.240 --> 0:28:35.000 They look... I don't know if one's bigger. I... That's 0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:37.959 neither here nor there. All right, so that's going on tomorrow, 0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:41.400 1 o'clock, 700 WLW, full-on coverage in the morning. Now, 0:28:42.300 --> 0:28:44.040 about a week ago or so, as I say, I'm 0:28:44.060 --> 0:28:47.340 running errands. I see a guy in a box truck, 0:28:48.120 --> 0:28:51.540 and I'm leaving the shopping center area, and in the frontage, 0:28:51.580 --> 0:28:55.840 they have a drive-through restaurant chain kind of place, and 0:28:56.380 --> 0:28:59.020 I'm looking to get a nice tea and whatever, and 0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:03.290 he's ahead of me in the drive-through, and it's one 0:29:03.310 --> 0:29:06.100 of those where... You can make the order, and it's 0:29:06.120 --> 0:29:08.490 got like a little awning for some reason. I don't 0:29:08.510 --> 0:29:11.430 know if that's to protect the electronics in the order 0:29:11.490 --> 0:29:13.750 box as you look at the menu or if that's 0:29:14.550 --> 0:29:16.510 aesthetic only because I don't know how it's helping to 0:29:16.550 --> 0:29:20.660 keep a vehicle dry. Either way, as I'm waiting to 0:29:20.700 --> 0:29:22.880 pull in and get to my turn, I see this 0:29:22.940 --> 0:29:25.980 guy go around. He clips the awning and jacks it 0:29:26.020 --> 0:29:28.370 all to hell. So I don't know what that costs. 0:29:28.770 --> 0:29:31.180 but in a matter of seconds, the decision that that 0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:33.560 guy made to go to the drive-thru rather than to 0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:37.840 get out, or to have somebody else get in the 0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:41.120 restaurant to get it or otherwise cost him I don't 0:29:41.140 --> 0:29:43.560 even know what. I ended up circling around and going 0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:45.460 inside because I'm like, that's going to be a nightmare 0:29:45.500 --> 0:29:48.459 headache scenario. I got what I needed and bolted. But 0:29:48.500 --> 0:29:50.380 what I'm wondering is this, because I know I'm not 0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:52.450 the only one who's seen some stuff like that. And 0:29:52.530 --> 0:29:55.410 I have made my share of dumb ass decisions that 0:29:55.430 --> 0:29:58.610 have cost us some money. and certainly some time. So 0:29:58.650 --> 0:30:01.570 whether it's something that happened to you, something that you did, 0:30:01.890 --> 0:30:05.200 or something you have witnessed as others have, somebody else 0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:07.900 make a choice that was probably not the best that 0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:09.620 ended up hitting the pocket pretty fat. 0:30:10.230 --> 0:30:10.610 And heavy. 0:30:10.630 --> 0:30:16.470 513-749-7800, the big one. You're tying in with, obviously, current 0:30:16.510 --> 0:30:19.870 events news. You got a guy who made an instant 0:30:20.550 --> 0:30:23.820 decision out of emotion and a bad choice in Rodney 0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:28.180 Hinton Jr., who ends up finding himself a guilty verdict yesterday. 0:30:28.200 --> 0:30:32.140 You got a murder conviction. You got a reckless homicide, 0:30:32.180 --> 0:30:35.660 couple counts of those, and felonious assault as well. That 0:30:35.700 --> 0:30:40.070 decision in an instant, in seconds, to run down Deputy 0:30:40.150 --> 0:30:43.350 Larry Henderson from Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, who was just 0:30:43.390 --> 0:30:46.500 doing detail work at commencement at UC last spring, a 0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:50.959 year ago, tried to help people get where they're going 0:30:51.180 --> 0:30:54.560 and otherwise, in whatever state of mind he was in, 0:30:55.000 --> 0:31:00.110 certainly made a decision that was costly beyond understanding, taking 0:31:00.130 --> 0:31:03.830 the life of Deputy Henderson's as well as his family 0:31:04.880 --> 0:31:07.880 suffering that great loss after Hinton had already suffered a 0:31:07.920 --> 0:31:10.860 loss of his own because of his son's bad choices 0:31:10.900 --> 0:31:14.540 and bad decisions also. So that's a bad scenario. That's 0:31:14.680 --> 0:31:18.650 also on a very heavy scale of cost associated with 0:31:18.730 --> 0:31:22.930 bad decisions in a matter of seconds. It made a 0:31:22.950 --> 0:31:24.970 difference of literally life and death, and it doesn't get 0:31:24.990 --> 0:31:31.190 much more serious than that. 513-749-7800, the big one. I 0:31:31.230 --> 0:31:33.670 think we all make those decisions on a regular basis. 0:31:33.930 --> 0:31:37.130 Sometimes it's not money. Maybe it's time. So you're on 0:31:37.130 --> 0:31:40.030 75 or you're on 71 and you see like, oh, 0:31:40.050 --> 0:31:42.260 there's construction. Oh, there's a backup. And you're like, I'm 0:31:42.280 --> 0:31:43.480 going to change lanes. I'm going to get to the 0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:46.540 passing lane, fast lane. And then you're stuck and you're 0:31:46.560 --> 0:31:48.680 in a nightmare. You're like, I'm going to be late now. 0:31:49.040 --> 0:31:50.400 Or you go right. Or you're like, I'm going to 0:31:50.440 --> 0:31:53.220 get off here. It looks backed up. I'll take surface streets. 0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:55.480 I'll take Montgomery Road down and around and then cut 0:31:55.520 --> 0:31:59.210 back over on 275, whatever it is. We've all done it. 0:31:59.720 --> 0:32:01.400 And then you're stuck there and you're going, I'm never 0:32:01.440 --> 0:32:04.380 getting this part of my life back ever, never. And 0:32:04.460 --> 0:32:08.490 it's just gone at just a brief second choice to 0:32:08.530 --> 0:32:11.290 go one way or another way, whether it's that guy 0:32:11.330 --> 0:32:14.630 in the box truck, whom I imagine probably, and no disrespect. 0:32:14.830 --> 0:32:17.590 I mean, you're renting a vehicle. You're not used to 0:32:17.630 --> 0:32:20.430 driving it. Maybe you're not quite aware as to the 0:32:20.510 --> 0:32:23.320 height of what you're in. I mean, those things happen 0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:27.480 on occasion. There's an insurance adjuster someplace dealing with that. 0:32:27.820 --> 0:32:31.520 But what a nightmare. And here's a lesson learned. So 0:32:31.580 --> 0:32:34.030 next time I have to rent a truck, you know 0:32:34.070 --> 0:32:36.190 I'm going to be attention to see how high that 0:32:36.310 --> 0:32:37.989 is on the top of it so I don't end 0:32:38.070 --> 0:32:40.910 up having somebody else talk about me buying a drive-through 0:32:41.050 --> 0:32:44.620 overhang or otherwise. To Harrison and Steve with Sterling on 0:32:44.620 --> 0:32:48.380 700 WLW. What's a quick decision you've either witnessed or 0:32:48.420 --> 0:32:51.360 done that's cost somebody money or some other type of pain? 0:32:53.700 --> 0:32:55.410 Hi, how you doing? I'm good, Steve. How are you? 0:32:55.430 --> 0:32:57.330 All right. 0:32:57.510 --> 0:33:00.150 I was at a, well, Lowe's. 0:33:02.850 --> 0:33:05.620 And this guy sold a four-door sedan, and he bought 0:33:05.650 --> 0:33:09.800 a mini-fridge. And he couldn't get it in the backseat. 0:33:10.460 --> 0:33:11.700 I'm kind of sitting there, and he couldn't get it 0:33:11.720 --> 0:33:13.600 in the trunk. So he puts it on top of 0:33:13.620 --> 0:33:15.940 the car. He don't have his trusses. I'll just hold 0:33:16.020 --> 0:33:17.800 on to it. I'm just going down the street. 0:33:17.830 --> 0:33:19.010 Okay. 0:33:20.050 --> 0:33:22.250 And he puts on, and he starts to go out 0:33:22.270 --> 0:33:24.350 a lot. And luckily, I'm sitting there, and I saw him. 0:33:24.430 --> 0:33:27.950 I'm like pointing this guy, and he stopped him before he. 0:33:27.890 --> 0:33:28.580 Got out a lot. 0:33:29.790 --> 0:33:33.500 He just held on to it. He just got him 0:33:33.540 --> 0:33:34.920 by himself. He's got the arm out the window. 0:33:35.420 --> 0:33:37.680 Just trying to hold on. 0:33:37.900 --> 0:33:38.700 People make those things. 0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:39.460 It's bewildering. 0:33:39.480 --> 0:33:41.280 Steve, I appreciate the call. And I don't know what 0:33:41.320 --> 0:33:43.000 that ticket would cost. Maybe you just did him a 0:33:43.020 --> 0:33:46.540 solid and maybe you ought to reevaluate your transportation situation maybe. 0:33:47.200 --> 0:33:47.700 That's tough. 0:33:48.230 --> 0:33:51.090 I mean, that's always one of those. I see it regularly. 0:33:51.490 --> 0:33:53.330 And we're heading towards the end of the month. We're 0:33:53.350 --> 0:33:56.680 the 24th. Halloween's a week away. So as we come 0:33:56.720 --> 0:33:59.500 into a lot of people moving end of the month, 0:33:59.560 --> 0:34:03.150 first of the month, you see it oftentimes people trying 0:34:03.170 --> 0:34:07.870 to move like mattresses and box springs. And they'll sort 0:34:07.890 --> 0:34:10.569 of half-ass, try to tether them down or whatever else. 0:34:11.110 --> 0:34:13.250 And you'll see them on the interstate. You think, well, 0:34:13.270 --> 0:34:17.390 maybe this is like a surface street drive scenario. Maybe 0:34:17.430 --> 0:34:20.060 you ought to like not drive highway speeds with a 0:34:20.100 --> 0:34:24.779 mattress that might catch some air. And you see it regularly. 0:34:25.219 --> 0:34:29.190 Almost every month, you'll catch another mattress or another box spring, 0:34:29.210 --> 0:34:31.650 at least one, just between here and Dayton or just 0:34:31.670 --> 0:34:34.989 between here and Louisville. You take a drive, and you 0:34:35.050 --> 0:34:37.850 see it. It regularly occurs, and you're like, well, that 0:34:37.890 --> 0:34:40.410 cost you. And you just hope to God you're not 0:34:40.510 --> 0:34:45.759 behind it when it catches air and escapes from the 0:34:45.820 --> 0:34:49.640 top of the vehicle, however poorly tethered or otherwise. And 0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:52.420 just like Steve mentioned, I have seen some people with 0:34:52.440 --> 0:34:55.000 the arms out the window trying to do that extra hold. 0:34:55.630 --> 0:34:58.549 Sometimes it's worth spending the extra $ 20 to rent the 0:34:58.590 --> 0:35:00.850 vehicle for the day, the van or the truck or 0:35:00.890 --> 0:35:04.710 whatever it is, even $ 50. I mean, you're deductible for 0:35:04.750 --> 0:35:08.730 a mishap of the vehicle, probably $ 500, $ 250 at least, right? 0:35:08.950 --> 0:35:11.050 Most of the time, you get a higher deductible, save 0:35:11.110 --> 0:35:14.290 on your regular cost for your six-month or yearly renewal 0:35:14.370 --> 0:35:18.170 on your vehicle or your homeowner's insurance, whatever, depending on 0:35:18.210 --> 0:35:20.969 how you look at that. Then there's liability issues. I mean, 0:35:20.989 --> 0:35:24.820 that's a quick decision that could be extremely costly. And 0:35:25.280 --> 0:35:27.360 to be a prophet of doom on it, there's a 0:35:27.400 --> 0:35:30.459 guy I used to work for, a good buddy of mine, 0:35:31.260 --> 0:35:34.640 riding his motorcycle, ended up behind somebody who did exactly 0:35:34.680 --> 0:35:37.180 what I just described, and he could not get away 0:35:37.260 --> 0:35:39.359 from the mattress once it flipped up in the air 0:35:39.410 --> 0:35:41.930 in front of him. And he caught it. Thankfully, he 0:35:41.950 --> 0:35:44.730 had a helmet on, but still some severe brain injury 0:35:45.230 --> 0:35:47.770 as a result of it. And it's never been the 0:35:47.790 --> 0:35:50.430 same since. So in a blink of an eye, whether 0:35:50.469 --> 0:35:53.609 it's life and death or something in between, or certainly, 0:35:53.640 --> 0:35:56.440 you know, a fat bat of cash that cost you, 0:35:57.320 --> 0:35:59.820 things can be ugly bad, whether it's the box truck, 0:35:59.880 --> 0:36:03.440 the mattress, or otherwise. People make decisions like that all 0:36:03.480 --> 0:36:07.510 the time. Oh, this is great. Henry and Amelia at 0:36:07.550 --> 0:36:14.549 Sterling Radio on X. He says the drinking, and I 0:36:14.570 --> 0:36:20.170 can't even say that. How can I clean this up? Apparently, 0:36:20.270 --> 0:36:23.700 following through can get you pregnant. is basically what it is. 0:36:24.100 --> 0:36:29.600 Just that momentary decision. Yeah, that's true. I mean, you know, 0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:33.680 not taking the pill or not taking something else or 0:36:33.739 --> 0:36:36.160 whatever else you want to call it, that'll cost you. 0:36:36.400 --> 0:36:38.600 That'll cost you 18 years. That'll cost you some college, 0:36:38.660 --> 0:36:41.460 maybe some dental work, whatever else that goes with it. 0:36:41.830 --> 0:36:45.290 So thank you for that. That's tremendous. I think you 0:36:45.310 --> 0:36:47.149 can make out the rest of what might go along 0:36:47.190 --> 0:36:50.700 with that. Coming up after 6.30, the news. Daniel Barnard 0:36:50.739 --> 0:36:52.839 has that. We'll get Kevin Carr going to join me. 0:36:52.880 --> 0:36:55.470 Conversation we have with him about the new Clayface movie. 0:36:56.750 --> 0:36:59.850 There's a superhero. It kind of ties in like horror 0:36:59.890 --> 0:37:04.820 story Halloween-esque, obviously, with the comic and a reimagination of that. 0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:06.969 I think it's like a third or fourth time. that 0:37:06.989 --> 0:37:11.460 they've done that type of thing. 513-749-7800, the big one. 0:37:12.050 --> 0:37:15.940 I'm wondering what you've seen, witnessed, or maybe even yourself 0:37:16.040 --> 0:37:19.279 making a decision that was instantaneous, didn't take you much 0:37:19.320 --> 0:37:22.580 of a choice in time, but ended up maybe costing you. 0:37:22.920 --> 0:37:25.759 Sometimes it goes the other way, where you're like, you 0:37:25.780 --> 0:37:27.319 know what, I don't know if I'm going to do this, 0:37:27.380 --> 0:37:29.060 I'll go ahead and do it. And sometimes you get lucky, 0:37:29.620 --> 0:37:32.680 whether it's buying that lottery ticket, which, you know, for 0:37:32.700 --> 0:37:35.220 the lotto or something, but that's few and far between. 0:37:36.100 --> 0:37:40.400 But certainly making decisions of turning left, turning right, or 0:37:40.620 --> 0:37:43.360 what have you. And the biggest one of all, yeah, 0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:46.700 would be making kids and offspring that sort of goes 0:37:46.760 --> 0:37:49.610 along with that. So I think that does make sense, too. 800, 0:37:49.590 --> 0:37:53.250 the big one, 513-749-7000. You pick up the phone, you 0:37:53.270 --> 0:37:55.030 give it the finger, and you can click on that microphone, 0:37:55.070 --> 0:37:56.290 by the way, if you're checking us out on the 0:37:56.370 --> 0:37:59.650 iHeartRadio app, and leave a message there. To Wes Milton 0:37:59.670 --> 0:38:01.200 and Herb with Sterling on the big one. 0:38:01.210 --> 0:38:01.920 Hey, Herb, how are you? 0:38:03.230 --> 0:38:04.210 I'm doing great, Sterling. 0:38:04.250 --> 0:38:04.950 How are you today? 0:38:05.010 --> 0:38:09.290 No complaints.

Now, in that same window, and 0:39:01.690 --> 0:39:04.030 usually there's more than just a quick decision. I mean, 0:39:04.070 --> 0:39:06.989 there's a whole lot of preparation and an opportunity to 0:39:07.050 --> 0:39:10.759 reevaluate along the way. My hope is that, obviously, the 0:39:10.780 --> 0:39:13.219 person you're standing next to, either at the justice of 0:39:13.260 --> 0:39:15.300 the peace or before you jump the broom and stomp 0:39:15.340 --> 0:39:18.140 the glass and say, I do, that she's also going, 0:39:18.160 --> 0:39:19.819 you know, this was a good choice and not the 0:39:19.860 --> 0:39:20.379 other 50-50, no? 0:39:20.440 --> 0:39:21.120 Well, at. 0:39:23.110 --> 0:39:24.350 Least she was standing there. 0:39:25.010 --> 0:39:27.489 Yes, yes, that's true.

Hell, I don't know. That's after 0:41:59.920 --> 0:42:03.930 the news. In the meantime, Daniel Barnard gets ready to 0:42:03.950 --> 0:42:07.070 disseminate mass quantities of information and food for your head news-wise. 0:42:07.090 --> 0:42:09.089 We go to the West Side, talk to Ray about 0:42:09.110 --> 0:42:11.250 an instant decision that may have been good, may have 0:42:11.270 --> 0:42:14.049 gone bad, depending. Ray, how are you with Sterling on 0:42:14.070 --> 0:42:14.440 the big one? 0:42:15.570 --> 0:42:17.350 No, there's a good one and a bad one. I 0:42:17.410 --> 0:42:19.430 didn't get to finish talking to Mr. Screener. 0:42:19.450 --> 0:42:20.450 Uh-oh, that's all right. 0:42:20.469 --> 0:42:23.189 The good one, I had to turn around and help 0:42:23.290 --> 0:42:26.899 out a couple girls, women, when I was 20. And 0:42:27.860 --> 0:42:30.320 because they couldn't drive a stick shift, I had to 0:42:30.380 --> 0:42:33.980 rent a U-Haul and drive out to Marietta, Ohio to 0:42:34.020 --> 0:42:38.010 haul her stuff back. So I'm hauling her stuff back. Well, 0:42:38.050 --> 0:42:40.630 we got a big snowstorm on the way, and I 0:42:40.670 --> 0:42:43.009 knew the roads would be bad up from Marietta to here. 0:42:43.890 --> 0:42:45.410 So I had to turn around and go all the 0:42:45.430 --> 0:42:48.040 way up to I-70 and come back down 71 where 0:42:48.080 --> 0:42:51.060 I knew the interstate would be cleared. So I did. 0:42:51.700 --> 0:42:55.020 I'm driving this one-ton truck, and it's a cab over. 0:42:55.440 --> 0:42:58.060 I'm used to driving a step van. When you're driving 0:42:58.100 --> 0:43:00.220 a step van, you know exactly how tall you are. 0:43:00.450 --> 0:43:03.630 That's important to remember. So I turn around, and I'm 0:43:03.670 --> 0:43:06.190 coming home, and I'm finally getting home after about a 0:43:06.230 --> 0:43:10.850 five-and-a-half-hour ride through snow and everything, driving this U-Haul by myself. 0:43:11.890 --> 0:43:14.489 I'm coming up Queen City Avenue, and there's a guy 0:43:14.510 --> 0:43:17.630 who starts trying to drag race me in his Mustang V. 0:43:18.890 --> 0:43:21.089 And I started going a little bit. I'm 20. And 0:43:21.510 --> 0:43:23.550 I was like, no, this is stupid. I know there's 0:43:23.610 --> 0:43:26.380 a speed trap off in here. So I backed down, 0:43:26.410 --> 0:43:28.819 let him win, and he sure as heck got pulled over. 0:43:28.940 --> 0:43:29.739 That was the good part. 0:43:29.860 --> 0:43:30.120 Yes. 0:43:31.219 --> 0:43:31.419 Nice. 0:43:31.500 --> 0:43:33.839 Okay, so I'm feeling real good. I get on out 0:43:33.880 --> 0:43:36.680 to Westwood. pull down the street where they're going to 0:43:36.719 --> 0:43:39.620 have to grandma gave to the one girl's parents it's 0:43:39.640 --> 0:43:41.920 a quiet little dead end street it's a little ranch 0:43:42.200 --> 0:43:46.180 but it's got three-foot soffits so i'm getting there about 0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:49.160 eight thirty it's getting dark and i'm like this you 0:43:49.239 --> 0:43:51.910 all looks like crap on this old people's street i'll 0:43:51.950 --> 0:43:53.489 just go down put in the back of one of 0:43:53.610 --> 0:43:57.810 the down there so that the remit the clutch out 0:43:57.910 --> 0:43:59.930 all of a sudden i heard this funny noise not 0:43:59.950 --> 0:44:04.190 a good one and I had gone about two and 0:44:04.230 --> 0:44:07.569 a half or three feet into that soffit that was 0:44:07.610 --> 0:44:10.799 three feet out over the driveway. When I backed up, 0:44:10.880 --> 0:44:13.100 I got wood splinters hitting the hood of the truck. 0:44:14.000 --> 0:44:16.279 I get out, and I look, and the front top 0:44:16.300 --> 0:44:18.540 of the truck's peeled back about three to four inches. 0:44:19.760 --> 0:44:20.480 That'll cost you. 0:44:21.860 --> 0:44:22.500 Oh, no. 0:44:23.040 --> 0:44:24.950 This is the part where it gets better. 0:44:25.250 --> 0:44:27.469 You've got about 30 seconds or so. 0:44:27.489 --> 0:44:31.130 Go ahead. That was my mistake. So I turned around. 0:44:31.960 --> 0:44:34.009 And I had to fix all that damage and do 0:44:34.070 --> 0:44:35.790 it in a way it was hidden in January. That 0:44:35.830 --> 0:44:38.450 was a real bitch in the house. Then I ate 0:44:38.489 --> 0:44:41.630 that personally. Well, then I turned around and returned to U-Haul. 0:44:41.690 --> 0:44:42.930 I had to go to a friend of mine that 0:44:42.950 --> 0:44:45.450 did body work. And we knew we couldn't pull it 0:44:45.510 --> 0:44:48.819 off fast enough, but we did, sort of. And I 0:44:48.860 --> 0:44:53.460 returned it on a Friday night at 725 to two 0:44:53.500 --> 0:44:55.320 college kids on Coleraine Avenue. 0:44:56.320 --> 0:44:57.400 So wait a minute. 0:44:57.760 --> 0:45:00.480 So you halfway fixed it. You covered it up and 0:45:00.520 --> 0:45:02.480 dropped it off when they're closing and the kids are 0:45:02.500 --> 0:45:05.270 going to get out for their Friday night. Yeah, and 0:45:05.290 --> 0:45:08.810 they cleared it and they okayed it. Well, I mean, yeah. 0:45:09.130 --> 0:45:09.750 It's January. 0:45:10.110 --> 0:45:10.590 I understand. 0:45:10.650 --> 0:45:11.770 It's January at 730. 0:45:11.770 --> 0:45:13.750 You do what you got to do. I understand. Ray, 0:45:13.770 --> 0:45:15.820 I'm against the wall on time. That's good and kind 0:45:15.840 --> 0:45:18.400 of dirty all at the same time. On the other side, 0:45:18.460 --> 0:45:21.440 Kevin Carr talking movies and more, and then maybe a 0:45:21.500 --> 0:45:25.440 Squidbillies reference later. You either know or you don't. Hopefully 0:45:25.480 --> 0:45:27.990 you do. It's Sterling on the home of the winning 0:45:28.030 --> 0:45:31.050 football Bearcats and your who day tomorrow taking on the Ravens. 0:45:31.380 --> 0:45:33.280 News Radio 700 WLW. 0:45:33.440 --> 0:45:34.299 Eddie, one of the first. 0:45:34.380 --> 0:45:37.420 Kevin Carr on the line, Silver Gecko on Substack, hanging 0:45:37.440 --> 0:45:41.739 out with Sterling on 700 WLW. We have talked, I 0:45:41.760 --> 0:45:44.960 guess the last couple of weeks intermittently, Kevin, about this 0:45:45.020 --> 0:45:47.719 new Clayface movie. We had other Halloween scary movies, but 0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:51.299 all the usual seasonally appropriate stuff. But Clayface kind of 0:45:51.360 --> 0:45:53.320 fits into that, and it's not the Clayface that a 0:45:53.360 --> 0:45:54.359 lot of kids grew up with. 0:45:55.640 --> 0:46:00.330 Well, yes and no. It's a Clayface origin story. Now, 0:46:00.350 --> 0:46:02.350 if you don't know anything about, because I'm a Batman 0:46:02.469 --> 0:46:05.089 comic guy, if you don't know anything, there were like 0:46:05.270 --> 0:46:08.810 three different Clayfaces. The original one was from the 40s, 0:46:08.810 --> 0:46:11.340 who was just like a villain, but he was an 0:46:11.380 --> 0:46:14.799 old theater performer, and he'd mold his face to look 0:46:14.820 --> 0:46:18.000 like other people. He would use theater makeup. He didn't 0:46:18.040 --> 0:46:21.500 have any superpowers. Then there was Clayface 2, who this 0:46:21.580 --> 0:46:26.400 is basically based on which was basically this shape-shifting blob. 0:46:26.440 --> 0:46:31.850 And then Clayface 3 was sort of like a– it 0:46:31.870 --> 0:46:35.850 would actually become– it could turn itself into different elements 0:46:35.890 --> 0:46:37.830 and that sort of thing. But this is based on 0:46:37.969 --> 0:46:42.069 sort of like the origin of Clayface 2. That goes 0:46:42.110 --> 0:46:45.719 a little bit deeper dive into it. It's a Batman villain. 0:46:48.100 --> 0:46:50.180 And it's about a guy who's a, he's an actor, 0:46:50.200 --> 0:46:52.320 a good looking guy. And he's kind of up and coming, 0:46:52.340 --> 0:46:55.380 just got an Academy award nomination. He sleeps with a 0:46:55.620 --> 0:46:58.930 mob boss, his girlfriend and the mob boss cuts his 0:46:58.969 --> 0:47:01.469 face up a bit. And then of course he, you know, it's, it's, 0:47:01.590 --> 0:47:04.550 it's devastating for him. He loses his jobs, his livelihood 0:47:04.590 --> 0:47:08.850 and everything. And he does this experimental treatment of, of 0:47:09.090 --> 0:47:11.500 sort of these, these injections on his face. What could 0:47:11.520 --> 0:47:17.870 go wrong? Well, everything is, is, His face starts melting, 0:47:17.930 --> 0:47:20.170 and then he finds he has the ability to change 0:47:20.230 --> 0:47:26.250 his look. And that's eventually leading to anybody who follows 0:47:26.700 --> 0:47:31.200 Batman and Clayface. So I love the idea that they're 0:47:31.219 --> 0:47:33.420 playing around with Clayface, because I've always loved him as 0:47:33.480 --> 0:47:37.940 a character. The movies, it's okay. 0:47:38.040 --> 0:47:39.260 It's not great. 0:47:39.320 --> 0:47:41.340 It's not terrible. I think there are some people hating 0:47:41.380 --> 0:47:43.650 on him a little bit too much. But, you know, 0:47:43.750 --> 0:47:47.250 the the story and the acting in particular really doesn't 0:47:47.310 --> 0:47:50.850 help raise it above. But it is that that thing 0:47:50.910 --> 0:47:52.810 of like when they did a Catwoman movie, they did 0:47:52.910 --> 0:47:56.530 Joker the movie. I am confounded at them making Batman 0:47:56.570 --> 0:47:59.140 movies without Batman. 0:47:59.219 --> 0:48:01.520 Well, I was going to ask you about that. Why 0:48:01.580 --> 0:48:05.280 would they not at least drop Batman in in some way? 0:48:05.340 --> 0:48:09.480 Or is Batman the actor too expensive. 0:48:08.320 --> 0:48:08.680 To do this? 0:48:08.940 --> 0:48:10.759 Why would you not take that? Because that seems like 0:48:10.780 --> 0:48:12.390 the common thread through all of those. 0:48:13.450 --> 0:48:15.180 Yeah, well, and that's the thing. I mean, that might 0:48:15.200 --> 0:48:18.290 be part of it. But if you remember, like, when 0:48:18.310 --> 0:48:21.169 they even did that first Suicide Squad movie, Batman showed 0:48:21.230 --> 0:48:23.049 up a couple times in that movie. I mean, it was, 0:48:23.830 --> 0:48:26.049 at least you got Batman in the film. It was 0:48:26.110 --> 0:48:28.069 like when they were doing, Sony was doing a whole 0:48:28.110 --> 0:48:35.469 bunch of Spider-Man movies without Spider-Man. I mean, Venom made money, but, 0:48:35.810 --> 0:48:40.089 you know, Morbius didn't, and Madam Web didn't. And they 0:48:40.130 --> 0:48:42.410 wanted to do a whole Sinister Six series. And then 0:48:42.430 --> 0:48:44.029 when they bring back Spider-Man and do a movie, it 0:48:44.070 --> 0:48:46.680 makes $ 2 billion. So, I mean, it's just like, go 0:48:46.719 --> 0:48:51.160 with what works. I'm fine with the idea of these 0:48:51.200 --> 0:48:53.279 sort of origin movies. And as I understand this, it 0:48:53.460 --> 0:48:59.549 wasn't super expensive. I felt disappointed by it, but I 0:48:59.610 --> 0:49:02.910 am also a big fan of Clayface. And I'm bringing 0:49:02.950 --> 0:49:04.790 a lot to the table with that. But, I mean, 0:49:04.950 --> 0:49:08.870 it's kind of getting raked over the coals critically. Because, 0:49:09.430 --> 0:49:13.629 I mean, it plays around with Body Hall. And there's obviously, 0:49:13.650 --> 0:49:18.549 you know, homages to everything from like the fly to, 0:49:18.610 --> 0:49:19.969 I mean, he has little nods to like. 0:49:20.260 --> 0:49:20.800 The shining. 0:49:20.840 --> 0:49:23.270 So it has, there's a knowledge of horror to it, 0:49:23.300 --> 0:49:27.140 but it doesn't really, it plays in the sandbox, but 0:49:27.180 --> 0:49:30.380 it doesn't go far enough. It just, it just, it 0:49:30.420 --> 0:49:33.319 doesn't embrace the genre where I feel it would have 0:49:33.340 --> 0:49:34.520 been better to actually do that. 0:49:34.860 --> 0:49:36.760 Talking to Kevin Carr, by the way, he's Silver Gecko 0:49:36.840 --> 0:49:40.460 on Substack. He pops into your mailbox. Well, his creations, 0:49:40.520 --> 0:49:42.900 not him personally. That would be extra. 0:49:43.160 --> 0:49:45.440 Maybe I would, but for the right price. That's right. 0:49:45.460 --> 0:49:47.890 You just never know. We're talking about this Clayface movie 0:49:47.930 --> 0:49:48.810 with Sterling on the big one. 0:49:50.969 --> 0:49:51.469 I'm just trying. 0:49:51.489 --> 0:49:54.810 So it's sort of a horror movie, which goes into 0:49:54.830 --> 0:49:57.430 the change of the body and all that, the psychology 0:49:57.469 --> 0:50:01.030 of that. So that sort of works. There is no Batman, 0:50:01.070 --> 0:50:03.210 but it's sort of in the Batman family world. I 0:50:03.969 --> 0:50:07.320 just it's odd. And so he and was he I 0:50:07.340 --> 0:50:10.120 don't remember him always. It's like they willy nilly just 0:50:10.480 --> 0:50:12.799 change stories in some fashion, which I guess if you 0:50:12.820 --> 0:50:15.660 can do that, why not? He was not an actor originally, 0:50:15.719 --> 0:50:17.480 or I guess he kind of was, but he wasn't. 0:50:19.300 --> 0:50:22.029 The original Clayface was an actor, but this isn't about, 0:50:22.370 --> 0:50:24.830 I think they're sort of conflating some stories. I really 0:50:24.870 --> 0:50:28.190 don't know the original origin of Clayface too. And this 0:50:28.370 --> 0:50:32.540 might be it. Although it is weird when you see 0:50:32.600 --> 0:50:34.719 a movie and it's all about, Oh, we shouldn't worry 0:50:34.760 --> 0:50:38.000 about image and, and vanity, but it's, that's being told 0:50:38.040 --> 0:50:40.960 by Hollywood, which is all about image and vanity. So 0:50:40.980 --> 0:50:45.480 it's a little bit hypocritical, you know, but, I don't know. 0:50:45.520 --> 0:50:47.340 It's just, it could have been better. And there were 0:50:47.360 --> 0:50:49.899 some good people behind it. I mean, uh, you know, 0:50:49.960 --> 0:50:52.839 and Mike Flanagan helped write the script. He's the one who, he, he, 0:50:52.980 --> 0:50:56.180 he did that carry series. That's on, that's on prime 0:50:56.200 --> 0:50:59.000 right now. And he did all these other, he did 0:50:59.020 --> 0:51:00.860 the house of Usher. He did a bunch of Stephen 0:51:00.910 --> 0:51:05.450 King stuff. Um, and, uh, Matt Reeves, who, who, uh, 0:51:06.230 --> 0:51:09.359 was worked on the Batman films. Um, I guess he's 0:51:09.380 --> 0:51:12.460 stepping away for personal reasons from Batman 2 and Steven 0:51:12.480 --> 0:51:15.800 Soderbergh's taking over. But he directed the one with Robert Pattinson. 0:51:16.180 --> 0:51:20.050 He was involved in it. But it's just– I don't know. 0:51:20.489 --> 0:51:23.770 Maybe it was– it could have been a result of 0:51:23.950 --> 0:51:27.100 movie by committee, which sometimes– Doesn't work. You end up 0:51:27.120 --> 0:51:28.339 with a camel instead of a horse. 0:51:30.820 --> 0:51:32.520 Well, one holds more water, I guess. 0:51:33.280 --> 0:51:34.529 I guess so, yeah. 0:51:34.989 --> 0:51:36.270 Although this doesn't hold much water. 0:51:37.190 --> 0:51:39.529 So not good for Clayface. What else is going on? 0:51:39.530 --> 0:51:41.310 I mean, this is like a big weekend. There's stuff 0:51:41.330 --> 0:51:43.510 that they brought back into the theaters, and there's, of course, 0:51:43.670 --> 0:51:47.670 everything at this point is streaming someplace. Like, and as 0:51:47.730 --> 0:51:49.989 much as we've talked about horror movies, you know, the 0:51:50.030 --> 0:51:51.839 last couple of weeks, just dropping a few of these 0:51:51.880 --> 0:51:54.680 in conversation, but like some of the ones in more 0:51:54.719 --> 0:51:59.660 recent days, 28 days later, The Ring. Those are strong. 0:51:59.900 --> 0:52:04.020 I still think Jeepers Creepers is a pretty strong candidate 0:52:04.060 --> 0:52:06.430 for one of the better ones of the last 10, 15. 0:52:06.420 --> 0:52:07.870 20 years. 0:52:09.030 --> 0:52:09.550 Well, Jeepers. 0:52:10.330 --> 0:52:12.009 Maybe it's older than that. It's about 25 years old. 0:52:12.050 --> 0:52:12.170 Yeah. 0:52:12.170 --> 0:52:14.029 25 years old. 0:52:14.070 --> 0:52:14.650 Holy crap. 0:52:14.710 --> 0:52:18.410 The biggest problem with Jeepers Creepers is it was directed 0:52:18.450 --> 0:52:19.430 by a child molester. 0:52:19.770 --> 0:52:21.490 Well, okay. 0:52:21.510 --> 0:52:21.670 Yeah. 0:52:22.310 --> 0:52:24.860 I didn't really know that that does change. 0:52:24.660 --> 0:52:25.180 A little bit. 0:52:26.100 --> 0:52:28.600 The other thing with Jeepers Creepers, if you, I'm not 0:52:28.620 --> 0:52:30.180 going to go, I'm not going to go through the 0:52:30.200 --> 0:52:33.560 gory details, but if you read about Victor Salva's crimes 0:52:34.100 --> 0:52:38.020 and then you see the, what the creepers doing, uh, 0:52:39.190 --> 0:52:46.060 It's it's it seems very self-reflective in its criminal approach. 0:52:46.280 --> 0:52:49.359 And I just could never shake that. Apparently, they did 0:52:49.480 --> 0:52:52.400 a reboot of it where they completely untangled it from 0:52:52.440 --> 0:52:56.339 Victor Salva. But but it was still his his brainchild. So, 0:52:56.580 --> 0:52:59.609 I mean, just the guy was the guy. It's just sleazy. And, 0:53:00.210 --> 0:53:00.710 you know, I mean. 0:53:01.300 --> 0:53:03.620 So but does that ruin the movie? I mean, come on. 0:53:03.680 --> 0:53:05.980 I mean, there's a whole lot of dirty, nasty people 0:53:06.000 --> 0:53:07.960 that have made a whole lot of movies. I mean, 0:53:08.000 --> 0:53:11.109 if we started just like discounting everyone because they're creeps. 0:53:11.730 --> 0:53:12.370 Pardon the pun. 0:53:12.430 --> 0:53:14.710 Are you going to go rewatch the Cosby show and 0:53:14.750 --> 0:53:16.930 enjoy it as much as you did when you first 0:53:16.969 --> 0:53:18.750 saw it? 0:53:19.390 --> 0:53:21.209 You had to go there. You had to go there. 0:53:21.230 --> 0:53:22.089 Yeah, you're right. 0:53:22.150 --> 0:53:22.509 You're right. 0:53:22.530 --> 0:53:22.910 You're right. 0:53:22.969 --> 0:53:23.290 You're right. 0:53:23.410 --> 0:53:24.109 All right. Fair enough. 0:53:24.810 --> 0:53:26.970 All right, so I mentioned that I shouldn't have mentioned 0:53:26.989 --> 0:53:29.970 the Jeepers Creepers. How about the Babadook or the Quiet Place? 0:53:29.989 --> 0:53:32.800 And they've made like five of those now, right? Or Annabelle, 0:53:32.820 --> 0:53:35.319 the doll. All the doll movies freak me out. 0:53:36.660 --> 0:53:41.500 Well, yeah, Annabelle was a spinoff of The Conjuring. And then, yeah, 0:53:41.540 --> 0:53:44.259 I like the Annabelle movies. They're fun. Some are better 0:53:44.300 --> 0:53:47.490 than others. That's what happens whenever you have a series, 0:53:47.530 --> 0:53:50.450 you know. But I love James Wan. I think James 0:53:50.489 --> 0:53:54.360 Wan has done more for horror in the last, 15, 0:53:54.360 --> 0:53:58.989 20 years than, than, than, than a lot of people have. 0:53:59.030 --> 0:54:02.570 I mean, he, he, he's responsible for the insidious movies. 0:54:02.590 --> 0:54:05.430 He's responsible for the conjuring movies and everything that came 0:54:05.489 --> 0:54:09.000 out of them, everything from the, the, the, you know, 0:54:09.040 --> 0:54:11.580 like you mentioned Annabelle to the nun movies. I mean, 0:54:12.000 --> 0:54:13.819 and some are better than others, but boy, that guy 0:54:13.840 --> 0:54:16.680 knows horror and he loves horror too, but then he 0:54:16.700 --> 0:54:20.660 can do something like furious seven and do action as well. So, 0:54:21.800 --> 0:54:24.470 I have a lot of– I respect the heck out 0:54:24.680 --> 0:54:27.850 of James Wan and what he's done for the genre. 0:54:28.650 --> 0:54:32.770 So yeah, and there are sort of those modern– masters 0:54:32.850 --> 0:54:34.650 of it. I mean, you know, I always go back 0:54:34.670 --> 0:54:36.930 to John Carpenter as one of my favorites, but I mean, 0:54:36.950 --> 0:54:40.370 James Wan is kind of the John Carpenter of his age, 0:54:40.469 --> 0:54:42.830 you know? I mean, I may be overstepping my bounds 0:54:42.890 --> 0:54:44.110 and offending some people with that, but. 0:54:44.170 --> 0:54:45.170 Everybody has an opinion. 0:54:45.250 --> 0:54:45.650 It's all right. 0:54:45.690 --> 0:54:47.730 That's why we have you here, Kevin Carr. Relax. 0:54:47.770 --> 0:54:48.570 Take a deep breath. 0:54:48.610 --> 0:54:49.029 Get a limb. 0:54:49.090 --> 0:54:50.609 It'll be all right. All right. 0:54:51.050 --> 0:54:52.839 What about the fun stuff, like Shaun of the Dead? 0:54:52.880 --> 0:54:55.839 That's fun. That's zombie-related. That's... I don't know what you 0:54:55.860 --> 0:54:58.020 call it. Zombie comedy? I mean, I don't know. 0:54:58.040 --> 0:54:58.580 Rom-com? 0:54:58.739 --> 0:54:59.219 Rom-com. 0:54:59.280 --> 0:55:00.840 Rom-com, which is different than rom-com. 0:55:00.880 --> 0:55:01.040 Yeah. 0:55:01.969 --> 0:55:02.109 Yeah. 0:55:02.550 --> 0:55:02.770 Yeah. 0:55:02.790 --> 0:55:06.049 Well, well, no, cause I love, I do love the 0:55:06.090 --> 0:55:08.190 tongue in cheek type stuff and I love zombie. I mean, 0:55:08.210 --> 0:55:10.839 not zombie horror. I I'm particular, I'm very particular about 0:55:10.860 --> 0:55:14.899 zombie movies, but I, I horror and comedy go hand 0:55:14.960 --> 0:55:19.080 in hand because they, you know, you can get so scared. 0:55:19.120 --> 0:55:21.860 You can laugh hysterically. I mean, there is this connective 0:55:21.940 --> 0:55:27.089 tissue in those two emotions. So it works out really 0:55:27.110 --> 0:55:30.680 well and you have some great, Horror-themed comedy. And you 0:55:30.700 --> 0:55:32.180 mentioned Shaun of the Dead. Of course, have you ever 0:55:32.200 --> 0:55:35.960 seen Fido? That's another great film. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:55:36.040 --> 0:55:37.000 Is that Aubrey Plaza? 0:55:37.860 --> 0:55:38.100 No. 0:55:38.719 --> 0:55:40.680 No, you're thinking of Life After Bath. 0:55:40.820 --> 0:55:42.960 That's tremendous, too. 0:55:43.020 --> 0:55:47.560 That's good. Fido has Billy Connolly as a zombie in it. 0:55:49.160 --> 0:55:53.739 And it's about people have kind of overcome the zombie apocalypse, 0:55:53.800 --> 0:55:54.760 and they keep them as pets. 0:55:55.380 --> 0:55:56.480 And make them go to work. 0:55:56.560 --> 0:55:56.960 That's right. 0:55:56.980 --> 0:55:58.460 They're like almost as slave labor. 0:55:59.550 --> 0:56:03.029 Yeah, Carrie-Anne Moss is in it. So that's a really 0:56:03.070 --> 0:56:07.209 good one. Of course, the classic Young Frankenstein is very, 0:56:07.250 --> 0:56:11.670 very funny. I just watched recently Abinagis Ptolemy's Frankenstein, which 0:56:11.750 --> 0:56:15.530 is still a brilliantly funny movie, and only the second 0:56:15.570 --> 0:56:19.129 time that Bela Lugosi played the actual Count Dracula. 0:56:19.700 --> 0:56:20.900 Oh, wow, I didn't know that. 0:56:21.120 --> 0:56:22.560 And I know one of those channels, I don't know 0:56:22.580 --> 0:56:26.360 if it's Monsters or whatever, pick a smart TV or otherwise, 0:56:26.420 --> 0:56:29.960 those are streaming constantly all year, let alone just now. 0:56:30.219 --> 0:56:32.989 Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, and they come and go off 0:56:33.010 --> 0:56:35.270 the services. Now, if you've got Peacock, you can watch. 0:56:35.330 --> 0:56:37.850 I've been watching this, the Monsters. 0:56:38.170 --> 0:56:38.430 Oh, yeah. 0:56:38.450 --> 0:56:39.550 That's a fun show. 0:56:39.570 --> 0:56:39.830 Yeah. 0:56:39.890 --> 0:56:42.670 That's a lot of fun. That's true. Yeah, so that 0:56:42.730 --> 0:56:44.840 one's good to watch. So there's a lot of stuff 0:56:44.860 --> 0:56:47.100 that's out there, and you can pick and choose. Now, 0:56:47.180 --> 0:56:50.640 if you really want to find some really– I'm not 0:56:50.660 --> 0:56:53.480 going to say obscure, but sometimes harder to find stuff. 0:56:54.340 --> 0:56:58.299 Go to something like Tubi. You're going to have to 0:56:58.340 --> 0:57:03.299 deal with ads, but Tubi has a lot of stuff 0:57:03.340 --> 0:57:08.060 you wouldn't find anywhere else. You'll find some small slasher 0:57:08.100 --> 0:57:11.839 movies from the 80s. You'll find some international stuff. Same 0:57:11.860 --> 0:57:16.940 thing with Amazon Prime. You can dig down and find 0:57:17.000 --> 0:57:19.690 some stuff from the 50s and 60s. One of the 0:57:19.710 --> 0:57:23.390 things I've always loved are the anthology horror movies, like 0:57:23.510 --> 0:57:24.410 Tales from the Crypt. 0:57:24.570 --> 0:57:25.650 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:57:25.710 --> 0:57:28.320 The ones from the 70s, Tales from the Crypt, Vault 0:57:28.360 --> 0:57:31.340 of Horror. Asylum was another one where they had these 0:57:31.380 --> 0:57:35.900 different stories that went together. The House that Dripped Blood. 0:57:35.980 --> 0:57:39.760 I mean, some of them have pretty insane names, but 0:57:40.280 --> 0:57:43.540 it was Amicus, which was a British company that put 0:57:43.560 --> 0:57:45.740 them together. And that's where you got to see like Peter... 0:57:46.080 --> 0:57:49.440 Cushing and Donald Pleasance was in it, John Pertwee. We 0:57:49.760 --> 0:57:52.010 had a couple of Doctor Who's in there, John Pertwee 0:57:52.170 --> 0:57:55.189 and Tom Baker show up in a couple of those. 0:57:55.290 --> 0:57:55.990 Oh, nice. 0:57:56.810 --> 0:57:57.890 Yeah, I love those. 0:57:57.910 --> 0:58:03.160 They're classic and They're a lot of fun. I love 0:58:03.180 --> 0:58:05.060 the anthology movies. Or even something like Tales from the 0:58:05.080 --> 0:58:05.560 Dark Side. 0:58:05.720 --> 0:58:06.120 Yeah, yeah. 0:58:06.140 --> 0:58:07.300 Do you remember that movie? 0:58:07.700 --> 0:58:09.980 A lot of great stories in those, too. And then 0:58:10.000 --> 0:58:11.820 you've got, like, The Outer Limits and all those sort 0:58:11.860 --> 0:58:13.800 of spinoffs, too. And they've done some modern sort of 0:58:13.840 --> 0:58:16.060 takes on all that, too. It's always good talking to you. 0:58:16.500 --> 0:58:18.480 And we'll catch up again next week, which will be, 0:58:18.540 --> 0:58:22.470 in fact, Halloween weekend. So, in the meantime, yeah, I know. 0:58:22.590 --> 0:58:23.010 It's scary. 0:58:23.030 --> 0:58:23.680 It's right here now. 0:58:23.950 --> 0:58:24.630 Do you have your candy? 0:58:24.650 --> 0:58:29.090 Are you prepared for the onslaught of young zombies and 0:58:29.270 --> 0:58:30.169 frightening little freaks? 0:58:31.360 --> 0:58:36.740 I spent $ 130 buying Halloween candy for Trick or Treat 0:58:36.820 --> 0:58:37.460 this year. 0:58:37.460 --> 0:58:37.940 $ 130? 0:58:37.700 --> 0:58:41.300 How many pieces? Is that good candy, like quality candy, 0:58:41.320 --> 0:58:42.580 or are you buying the crap candy? 0:58:43.400 --> 0:58:43.900 No, no, no. 0:58:44.000 --> 0:58:48.110 It's fun size, but it's Snickers, Twix, all that kind 0:58:48.150 --> 0:58:51.090 of stuff.

I went around the 1:01:56.720 --> 1:02:00.650 corner and I saw Daniel Barnard preparing for his 730 newscast. 1:02:00.670 --> 1:02:02.730 He was busy, so I nodded. I've not even met 1:02:02.770 --> 1:02:05.669 the guy yet, but we've heard him. You will hear 1:02:05.930 --> 1:02:09.720 again in about 21 minutes or so.

But I want to play something because 1:02:26.980 --> 1:02:30.900 there's been so much controversy, because there's been so much 1:02:31.560 --> 1:02:34.760 going on where people have been upset. They had a 1:02:34.800 --> 1:02:37.320 case of the goo, if you will. Some would like 1:02:37.360 --> 1:02:41.510 to say case of the ass. And I just want 1:02:41.530 --> 1:02:45.910 to say there's a controversial ad in the race for 1:02:45.950 --> 1:02:48.330 governor in the state of Ohio. The whole country has 1:02:48.370 --> 1:02:52.330 talked about it. Even foreign countries have had to comment 1:02:52.390 --> 1:02:56.640 in news about what's going on here between Ramasamy and 1:02:56.720 --> 1:03:00.500 also Acton and their thing. And what I can tell 1:03:00.540 --> 1:03:04.920 you is as soon as I heard the ad with 1:03:05.020 --> 1:03:09.740 Acton's mom, I immediately thought of something else I have 1:03:09.780 --> 1:03:12.689 spent countless hours enjoying. I want you to hear this 1:03:12.830 --> 1:03:15.770 and tell me if you hear what I hear. 1:03:15.950 --> 1:03:16.570 Check this out. 1:03:17.050 --> 1:03:20.970 My name is Starla Arthur, and I'm Amy Afton's mother. 1:03:21.410 --> 1:03:24.930 When I was little, we didn't have fancy ketchup. We 1:03:24.990 --> 1:03:28.130 just had ketchup. We used to make it out in 1:03:28.170 --> 1:03:30.010 the back out of possum tails. 1:03:30.940 --> 1:03:32.660 Only we just called it blood. 1:03:33.380 --> 1:03:34.460 Is that right now? 1:03:34.560 --> 1:03:35.680 Well, Granny, I gotta get. 1:03:35.820 --> 1:03:40.340 I have Mongolian beef side order, souch-out chicken, spring vegetable. Now, 1:03:40.360 --> 1:03:42.740 I don't want any sesame seeds in it and. 1:03:42.700 --> 1:03:43.660 The princess rose. 1:03:44.080 --> 1:03:47.950 My name is Darla Arthur, and I'm Amy Afton's mother. 1:03:48.180 --> 1:03:51.050 Now, I don't know if you noticed the similarity. And 1:03:51.110 --> 1:03:53.430 I'm not going out on a limb and going to 1:03:53.490 --> 1:03:56.510 somehow give my blessing to one candidate or another. You 1:03:56.530 --> 1:03:58.970 go vote the way you feel your gut makes you 1:03:59.050 --> 1:04:01.210 want to vote. All I'm going to tell you is 1:04:01.250 --> 1:04:05.550 as soon as I heard Mama Acton, the estranged, upset, 1:04:05.610 --> 1:04:08.450 probably paid to do the ad, talking hate about her 1:04:08.470 --> 1:04:12.190 daughter who ended up, as court records prove, taken out 1:04:12.230 --> 1:04:15.390 of that house for her own well-being and protection in 1:04:15.430 --> 1:04:18.240 what had happened to her. You can think what you 1:04:18.260 --> 1:04:21.600 want about the ad and its decency or sliminess or otherwise. 1:04:22.000 --> 1:04:24.280 It's not my problem. That's up to you and what 1:04:24.340 --> 1:04:27.110 you think and how that motivates you. But I want 1:04:27.120 --> 1:04:28.820 to do this again because I heard it and I 1:04:28.860 --> 1:04:31.950 about drove off of 71 when I heard it. And 1:04:32.010 --> 1:04:36.010 I immediately thought that is a squid belly granny. If 1:04:36.050 --> 1:04:41.330 you've ever watched Adult Swim cartoons, which may be between 1:04:41.390 --> 1:04:44.780 news and the cartoons, that is my life. and maybe 1:04:44.820 --> 1:04:47.540 other substances. I can neither confirm nor deny. Just tell 1:04:47.600 --> 1:04:49.200 me if you don't hear this and it does not 1:04:49.300 --> 1:04:50.100 make you smile. 1:04:51.540 --> 1:04:55.450 My name is Starla Arthur and I'm Amy Afton's mother. 1:04:55.930 --> 1:04:59.450 When I was little, we didn't have fancy ketchup. We 1:04:59.510 --> 1:05:02.650 just had ketchup. We used to make it out in 1:05:02.690 --> 1:05:04.470 the back out of possum tail. 1:05:05.440 --> 1:05:07.180 Only we just called it blood. 1:05:07.880 --> 1:05:08.980 Is that right now? 1:05:09.060 --> 1:05:10.200 Well, Granny, I gotta get. 1:05:10.340 --> 1:05:14.620 I have Mongolian beef side order, souchow chicken, spring vegetable. 1:05:14.760 --> 1:05:17.280 I don't want any sesame seeds in it and the 1:05:17.320 --> 1:05:21.360 princess rose. My name is Darla Arthur and I'm Amy 1:05:21.490 --> 1:05:22.510 Afton's mother. 1:05:22.590 --> 1:05:24.390 Now, you can be mad at me or not, it 1:05:24.610 --> 1:05:28.470 doesn't matter to me. All I do is share information. 1:05:28.670 --> 1:05:32.250 All I do is share what I know. and maybe 1:05:32.290 --> 1:05:37.050 it's my hearing is off, but I am immensely pleased 1:05:37.090 --> 1:05:39.170 with this, and now I will never be able to 1:05:39.210 --> 1:05:42.810 hear Granny Squidbilly quite the same way ever again. Other 1:05:42.850 --> 1:05:45.190 things to get to, we may revisit this, but we'll 1:05:45.210 --> 1:05:49.610 have a little bit of fun. 513-749-7800, the big one. Look, 1:05:49.810 --> 1:05:52.410 I had a buddy of mine send me, and I've 1:05:52.430 --> 1:05:56.550 seen stuff like this on social media as well. He 1:05:56.590 --> 1:05:59.700 sent me a receipt of a copy of it. And 1:05:59.780 --> 1:06:01.120 I don't know if it was his or if it 1:06:01.140 --> 1:06:02.880 was something he came across and he says, what would 1:06:02.900 --> 1:06:03.180 you do? 1:06:03.220 --> 1:06:03.820 Would you tip? 1:06:04.360 --> 1:06:07.060 And for the longest time, there's been talk about the 1:06:07.420 --> 1:06:10.760 ridiculousness of tipping and how it's gotten out of control 1:06:10.780 --> 1:06:14.700 or the expectation of tipping on top of all the 1:06:14.760 --> 1:06:17.320 other things that go into a challenging time when it 1:06:17.360 --> 1:06:21.470 comes to running a restaurant. So what he sends me 1:06:21.570 --> 1:06:23.970 is like about a hundred dollars worth of food products, 1:06:25.590 --> 1:06:29.230 And then on the itemized list at the restaurant, and 1:06:29.650 --> 1:06:32.590 it's like four or five people, something like that. And 1:06:32.630 --> 1:06:36.520 it comes to like $ 100 and change. And there's sales 1:06:36.560 --> 1:06:39.500 tax on it for, I guess, drinks or whatever. And 1:06:39.560 --> 1:06:43.820 then there's a large party fee of $ 24. And then 1:06:44.020 --> 1:06:47.560 they put nothing on the tip line. And then the line– no, 1:06:47.580 --> 1:06:50.280 it's four people. Excuse me. It says four people. That's 1:06:50.320 --> 1:06:53.220 a large party, question mark. And it says, Sterling, what 1:06:53.240 --> 1:06:55.530 would you do? So I'm going to turn it around 1:06:55.590 --> 1:06:59.510 and ask you. You're going to spend $ 100, and they're 1:06:59.530 --> 1:07:02.990 going to charge you effectively just about 25% for a 1:07:03.030 --> 1:07:06.510 large party fee. I kind of– and listen, I've never 1:07:06.550 --> 1:07:08.960 worked food service other than like for a minute and 1:07:09.000 --> 1:07:13.520 a half in desperation when I was a younger man 1:07:13.600 --> 1:07:15.760 working at Harrah Arena when they would do like some 1:07:15.800 --> 1:07:17.960 type of catering because they used to do that there 1:07:17.980 --> 1:07:21.430 besides concerts and wrestling and whatnot. And I did that 1:07:21.450 --> 1:07:22.770 two or three times, and I was like, this is 1:07:22.790 --> 1:07:24.790 some really hard work. I don't know if I think 1:07:24.810 --> 1:07:27.490 I need to be doing this anymore. So I know 1:07:27.530 --> 1:07:29.140 it's hard work. I have friends who are in the 1:07:29.200 --> 1:07:32.180 restaurant business, and I like to eat out. 1:07:32.620 --> 1:07:33.280 I just do. 1:07:33.980 --> 1:07:37.640 So I'm torn on this. I always thought large parties 1:07:37.680 --> 1:07:40.640 were like six or eight people, and regularly, depending on 1:07:40.660 --> 1:07:42.410 where you go, they'll have that fee, and then that 1:07:42.450 --> 1:07:45.350 way they know they're covered for their staff. But for this, 1:07:45.430 --> 1:07:50.720 it seems ridiculous. It's almost 25%. And then the question is, Tip, again, 1:07:50.740 --> 1:07:53.570 I don't think I would. I think that would cover it. 1:07:54.130 --> 1:07:56.670 And I personally, I mean, I have friends, I have 1:07:56.730 --> 1:08:00.000 family that have worked in the service industry as servers 1:08:00.340 --> 1:08:05.230 and waiters and people who seat people and greet people 1:08:05.290 --> 1:08:07.470 and run restaurants. I know some who actually own and 1:08:07.550 --> 1:08:11.070 operate some restaurants, fast food, as well as sit down 1:08:11.130 --> 1:08:15.570 nicer spots. And it's a tough situation. And I've had 1:08:15.610 --> 1:08:18.600 it happen at CVG and flying out of Columbus. I 1:08:18.640 --> 1:08:21.520 will never forget. It's been some years ago. I remember 1:08:21.560 --> 1:08:24.660 going up there to what was, it's now John Glenn Airport, 1:08:24.700 --> 1:08:27.600 used to be Port Columbus. And I'm there and I'm 1:08:27.620 --> 1:08:29.860 waiting for a flight and I'm there early, which is 1:08:30.490 --> 1:08:34.910 entirely irregular. Usually it's me just getting there in time, 1:08:35.100 --> 1:08:38.380 which is not good. And I need a coffee. I 1:08:38.400 --> 1:08:42.120 got to get something to drink. And I give tips, right? 1:08:42.200 --> 1:08:45.680 I mean, I understand you're schlepping away. People are rude 1:08:45.700 --> 1:08:48.780 and so forth. I try to show some love. And 1:08:49.479 --> 1:08:52.290 I had somebody point at the tip jar and said, hey, 1:08:52.350 --> 1:08:57.030 tips are appreciated. I don't need to be told. I 1:08:57.070 --> 1:08:59.910 don't need to be directed. And I was a little 1:09:00.090 --> 1:09:02.670 irritated by it. And it has stuck with me for 1:09:02.710 --> 1:09:04.950 a long, long time. So I don't know what etiquette 1:09:05.130 --> 1:09:07.670 is and what's appropriate or not, but I know what 1:09:07.729 --> 1:09:11.179 rubbed me the wrong way. The add-on large party fee 1:09:11.260 --> 1:09:13.110 and then asking for a tip on top of it 1:09:13.180 --> 1:09:15.360 for a small group spending less than a hundred bucks 1:09:15.400 --> 1:09:18.000 seems over the top. But I also know that if 1:09:18.020 --> 1:09:19.820 you're a server and you work in that business, your 1:09:19.860 --> 1:09:22.439 perspective may be different. So I want to hear from you. 513-749-7800, 1:09:22.479 --> 1:09:26.350 the big one. You can pick up the phone, give 1:09:26.390 --> 1:09:29.010 it the finger, or just do like my mom. She says, 1:09:29.189 --> 1:09:31.910 call Sterling. And then you can do that or call 1:09:31.950 --> 1:09:34.170 the big one. You can also leave a message on 1:09:34.189 --> 1:09:37.200 the iHeartRadio app by clicking on the microphone and leave 1:09:37.240 --> 1:09:39.140 a message there in the talkback. I want to know 1:09:39.160 --> 1:09:40.300 your tipping situation. 1:09:40.680 --> 1:09:40.940 Do you. 1:09:42.370 --> 1:09:47.030 I just what it seems ridiculously ballsy to me to 1:09:47.250 --> 1:09:50.210 ask for a tip on top of the party fee, 1:09:50.930 --> 1:09:54.070 especially when it's a small I mean, 100 bucks. It's 1:09:54.110 --> 1:09:57.340 not a major expensive ticket and it's not a major 1:09:57.380 --> 1:09:59.540 amount of people. I mean, that just seems like a 1:09:59.580 --> 1:10:01.880 sort of a manipulation and trying to force people to 1:10:01.920 --> 1:10:05.160 pay and then maybe double dip to Georgia. And Doug 1:10:05.200 --> 1:10:07.939 was Sterling on 700 WLW. Appreciate you holding be a 1:10:07.979 --> 1:10:09.140 part of the show. Doug, what's shaking? 1:10:10.189 --> 1:10:12.730 Sterling, I used to talk to you. I spoke to 1:10:12.770 --> 1:10:15.840 you and I think Donna a few times. I'm currently 1:10:15.920 --> 1:10:18.860 in the middle of Georgia. I'm moving from Cincinnati lifelong 1:10:18.939 --> 1:10:20.559 at 47 years old to Florida. 1:10:20.580 --> 1:10:21.240 Oh, wow. 1:10:22.560 --> 1:10:26.280 So you're turning into a full-on snowbird all year now? 1:10:27.400 --> 1:10:29.740 Yeah, bro, I can't do winter anymore. What's the point 1:10:29.780 --> 1:10:32.950 of coming back anyways? It's just Cincinnati. Everybody's still going 1:10:33.010 --> 1:10:35.030 to be there. Everyone's still going to be there doing 1:10:35.070 --> 1:10:38.190 the same damn thing unless they die. 1:10:38.570 --> 1:10:39.769 Well, that's everywhere. 1:10:39.990 --> 1:10:42.030 I'll see you in Florida when it's cold. I'll come 1:10:42.060 --> 1:10:46.860 down to get warm, that's for sure. But safe driving, too. 1:10:46.900 --> 1:10:49.040 So you're in Georgia, you're on the road, you're listening 1:10:49.080 --> 1:10:50.160 to the big one. What do you have? 1:10:51.020 --> 1:10:54.240 Yes, I heard what you were saying about a large party. 1:10:54.700 --> 1:10:56.979 I've worked in and out of the hospitality industry my 1:10:57.020 --> 1:11:02.129 whole life, from wing joints to fine dining. Large parties, 1:11:02.290 --> 1:11:06.950 usually eight or over. Four people. The restaurant, I guess, 1:11:06.970 --> 1:11:08.650 didn't want to go out on a limb and say, 1:11:08.689 --> 1:11:11.530 you know, even 20% of all the... If everybody had 1:11:11.650 --> 1:11:14.450 a $ 25 bill in that group, you said four people, $ 100. 1:11:14.270 --> 1:11:14.690 Yeah. 1:11:15.490 --> 1:11:18.730 Okay, your tip, 20% of that would have been what? 1:11:18.729 --> 1:11:19.370 $ 20. 1:11:19.050 --> 1:11:23.650 $ 20, $ 20, $ 20, $ 25. Yeah, a little less than a $ 24. 1:11:23.590 --> 1:11:25.519 It could have been right around, but if you gave 1:11:25.560 --> 1:11:28.920 great service, maybe you got more from each of those people. 1:11:28.979 --> 1:11:33.380 So I myself would have probably been like, yo, I 1:11:33.400 --> 1:11:36.510 still would have left a little something, something, but that 1:11:36.550 --> 1:11:39.530 you put a large... And, like, I kind of feel 1:11:39.570 --> 1:11:41.910 sorry for the server in that predicament because who knows 1:11:41.950 --> 1:11:43.630 how much the server actually gets of. 1:11:43.610 --> 1:11:43.910 That $ 24. 1:11:43.830 --> 1:11:46.370 Let me ask you this since you've done that business. 1:11:46.610 --> 1:11:49.570 It's not the server who makes the decision unless they 1:11:49.790 --> 1:11:52.510 are keying in the billing to get that on there, 1:11:52.570 --> 1:11:53.630 are they? Or is that a way? 1:11:53.670 --> 1:11:55.250 Oh, no, that's going to be at the bottom of 1:11:55.270 --> 1:11:57.750 the receipt no matter what if that's the restaurant's policy. 1:11:57.790 --> 1:11:58.910 That just is what it is. 1:11:58.950 --> 1:12:00.170 That's what I'm wondering. Yeah, yeah. 1:12:00.270 --> 1:12:02.490 I'm sure the server would have probably rather just been like, 1:12:02.510 --> 1:12:05.509 let me do my thing and if I get $ 20 1:12:05.330 --> 1:12:09.260 and $ 20. Even if it goes 15, 20, 25 on 1:12:09.340 --> 1:12:11.860 four people, could have came to a little bit more 1:12:11.979 --> 1:12:13.910 at 24. But like I said, the biggest thing is- 1:12:14.390 --> 1:12:16.750 How much does the server actually get of that 24? 1:12:16.750 --> 1:12:20.170 Do they get 12 and then the restaurant keeps 12? 1:12:20.170 --> 1:12:22.490 Yeah, see, somebody's getting job there and it's the server. 1:12:23.030 --> 1:12:23.599 And that's bad. 1:12:23.840 --> 1:12:26.720 And I always feel bad because I know I've had 1:12:26.740 --> 1:12:28.560 too many friends who do that work or who have 1:12:28.600 --> 1:12:31.300 done that work. And I know it's hard and unforgiving 1:12:31.400 --> 1:12:33.860 physically and people can be rude. And I try to 1:12:33.900 --> 1:12:36.540 show love because I, you know, that's just the way 1:12:36.580 --> 1:12:36.820 it is. 1:12:37.840 --> 1:12:40.040 I'm sure I'd still want to tip some, but, you 1:12:40.060 --> 1:12:41.830 know what I mean, that would have left me a 1:12:41.850 --> 1:12:42.510 little chased. 1:12:42.810 --> 1:12:46.530 Yeah, chased is a good word. Hey, Doug, be safe driving, man, 1:12:46.570 --> 1:12:48.190 and I hope you continue to listen and be a 1:12:48.210 --> 1:12:49.070 part of the show, man. 1:12:49.130 --> 1:12:49.650 Thank you. 1:12:49.689 --> 1:12:52.920 I'm listening to you on iHeart right now. My buddy 1:12:53.000 --> 1:12:54.979 who's driving my moving truck right now has been making 1:12:55.000 --> 1:12:57.700 fun of me. Like, you're moving to Florida, and I've 1:12:58.040 --> 1:13:01.090 been listening since this morning, though. Mike DeWine, who's my 1:13:01.130 --> 1:13:03.309 least favorite person to listen to on this whole station. 1:13:03.350 --> 1:13:05.750 But, you know, God, no, but love for y'all. 1:13:05.910 --> 1:13:07.070 Well, Doug, I appreciate it, man. 1:13:07.110 --> 1:13:07.570 Be safe. 1:13:07.610 --> 1:13:09.729 And whatever you do with that moving truck, whoever's driving 1:13:09.750 --> 1:13:11.900 it for you, as I mentioned earlier, don't end up, 1:13:12.160 --> 1:13:14.760 you know, going over something too low. That'll cost you 1:13:14.820 --> 1:13:18.080 real quick. To John and then Rob with Sterling on 1:13:18.080 --> 1:13:20.979 700 WLW. Got a little bit of time here. The 1:13:21.000 --> 1:13:23.820 tipping thing, the large party fee. Do you tip if 1:13:23.860 --> 1:13:24.910 they've added that on there? 1:13:26.430 --> 1:13:28.610 So it's been a long time since I waited tables, 1:13:28.650 --> 1:13:32.190 but my opinion on that one is probably try to 1:13:32.229 --> 1:13:34.710 see if I can casually get a manager and just 1:13:34.770 --> 1:13:35.610 ask them what this is. 1:13:35.650 --> 1:13:37.280 Say, Hey, is this your way of making sure they 1:13:37.300 --> 1:13:37.900 get their tip? 1:13:38.280 --> 1:13:40.380 Is this a tip or is this a separate fee? 1:13:40.740 --> 1:13:42.120 Cause if it's a separate fee, I'm going to want 1:13:42.140 --> 1:13:45.400 to say, Hey, what is the separate fee going to, right? 1:13:46.040 --> 1:13:47.860 And then if it's a tip, I probably just roll 1:13:47.880 --> 1:13:49.720 with it. You know, okay, they got 20 to 25%. 1:13:49.720 --> 1:13:52.970 If I had decent service, that's probably what I'd give anyway. 1:13:53.390 --> 1:13:55.189 If it was phenomenal, maybe I'd throw a few more 1:13:55.210 --> 1:13:57.850 bucks on. If it was average or so, I'd probably 1:13:57.890 --> 1:13:59.689 just let it roll. But I think I'd want to know, 1:13:59.950 --> 1:14:02.890 you know, hey, is this a deal where they're just 1:14:02.910 --> 1:14:04.710 putting the tip on there like on a large party? 1:14:04.750 --> 1:14:06.550 They'll do that to make sure that the server doesn't 1:14:06.570 --> 1:14:09.410 get stiff. I agree, four people is not a large party. 1:14:10.100 --> 1:14:12.300 But before I get real worried about it, I'd want 1:14:12.320 --> 1:14:13.460 to find out for sure what it is. 1:14:13.580 --> 1:14:15.580 Does all that go to the server or not? Yeah, 1:14:15.600 --> 1:14:17.650 I think that's a solid question. And I've had servers 1:14:17.689 --> 1:14:20.650 tell me that they often don't get that money. So 1:14:20.710 --> 1:14:22.849 what does that do? Just go to the bottom line 1:14:22.890 --> 1:14:23.790 of the restaurant? 1:14:24.990 --> 1:14:27.010 And I think that's where the question comes into a manager. 1:14:27.030 --> 1:14:28.490 I'm not trying to make a big scene about it, 1:14:28.490 --> 1:14:30.309 but I want to know, hey, if this isn't going 1:14:30.370 --> 1:14:32.030 on the server, what is this for? 1:14:32.210 --> 1:14:32.710 Absolutely. 1:14:32.750 --> 1:14:35.210 I appreciate the call, John. Thank you, man. Rob, we'll 1:14:35.229 --> 1:14:36.950 get one more here before your 7.30 report. 1:14:36.990 --> 1:14:37.710 Rob, what do you have? 1:14:37.729 --> 1:14:40.630 Tip, no tip in the big fee for the party 1:14:40.670 --> 1:14:42.850 that's large that's not really so large after all? 1:14:44.490 --> 1:14:47.580 It sounds like a minor league restaurant establishment. It's eight 1:14:47.600 --> 1:14:50.780 and above. I would not tip. I might leave a 1:14:50.840 --> 1:14:52.259 cash tip for. 1:14:52.120 --> 1:14:53.820 The waiter, waitress. 1:14:54.590 --> 1:14:56.250 I'd cross out the 24. 1:14:55.930 --> 1:14:56.950 Like the guy said before. 1:14:56.970 --> 1:14:57.910 I'd ask a question. 1:14:58.330 --> 1:15:01.910 The one that gets me, Sterling, I've been to about 1:15:01.910 --> 1:15:04.759 40 opening days. I go to Bengals games, Reds games. 1:15:05.439 --> 1:15:08.519 I walk through the line. I get said beer out 1:15:08.560 --> 1:15:12.400 of cooler. I get said beer. I scan it. I 1:15:12.439 --> 1:15:16.360 pay for said beer. They have the gall, Reds and. 1:15:16.270 --> 1:15:18.330 The Bengals, $ 17, $ 16, $ 18 for a 24-ounce can of beer. 1:15:18.410 --> 1:15:18.550 Yep. 1:15:22.000 --> 1:15:23.679 They have the gall to ask you when you swipe 1:15:23.760 --> 1:15:27.970 and pay for the beers, tip. I looked at my 1:15:28.010 --> 1:15:30.310 buddy and I said, who the hell am I tipping? 1:15:30.370 --> 1:15:31.510 Am I going to tip myself? 1:15:31.950 --> 1:15:34.030 Am I going to tip you? Who am I going 1:15:34.050 --> 1:15:34.950 to tip? 1:15:35.270 --> 1:15:36.840 There's nobody around. 1:15:36.850 --> 1:15:37.920 Nobody. 1:15:38.100 --> 1:15:40.720 That's a weird circumstance. Yeah, that is weird. I wonder 1:15:40.760 --> 1:15:43.500 how many people actually tip in that situation. Rob, great call, man. 1:15:43.540 --> 1:15:46.800 Thank you. I appreciate it. And, uh, A lot of 1:15:46.820 --> 1:15:48.340 times I like that self-serve thing. You get in there 1:15:48.360 --> 1:15:49.900 and get out of there and not have to worry 1:15:49.960 --> 1:15:51.860 about it. But that is one of those things. So 1:15:51.900 --> 1:15:55.730 consensus is not a large party. So that was some manipulation. 1:15:55.890 --> 1:15:59.030 And then my buddy may be right. And he just 1:15:59.210 --> 1:16:01.890 put on their zip. I think I would have asked 1:16:01.930 --> 1:16:05.130 to put you in a bad, ugly, uncomfortable spot. Hey, 1:16:05.210 --> 1:16:07.790 one more time. Can we do this, Drew? I want 1:16:07.830 --> 1:16:09.510 you to hear this and tell me if you hear 1:16:09.550 --> 1:16:12.020 what I hear from the ad that's gotten so much 1:16:12.070 --> 1:16:14.820 attention about being slimy. I don't care one way or 1:16:14.860 --> 1:16:17.460 the other about that. That's politics and it can be dirty. 1:16:17.780 --> 1:16:19.500 But tell me if this sure as hell ain't funny. 1:16:19.760 --> 1:16:23.580 My name is Darla Arthur and I'm Amy Afton's mother. 1:16:24.120 --> 1:16:27.679 When I was little, we didn't have fancy ketchup. We 1:16:27.720 --> 1:16:30.840 just had ketchup. We used to make it out in 1:16:30.880 --> 1:16:32.740 the back out of possum tail. 1:16:33.640 --> 1:16:35.379 Only we just called it blood. 1:16:36.080 --> 1:16:36.820 Is that right? 1:16:36.900 --> 1:16:38.400 Now, my granny, I got to get. 1:16:38.540 --> 1:16:43.070 I have Mongolian beef side order of satchel chicken spring vegetable. Now, 1:16:43.090 --> 1:16:45.490 I don't want any sesame seeds in it and the 1:16:45.530 --> 1:16:46.350 princess rose. 1:16:46.790 --> 1:16:50.670 My name is Starla Arthur, and I'm Amy Afton's mother. 1:16:50.770 --> 1:16:52.830 And I'm Sterling, and the news is next on the 1:16:52.870 --> 1:16:55.620 home of those winning football Bearcats in your who day 1:16:55.740 --> 1:16:58.020 in Baltimore tomorrow to take on those Ravens, 700 WLW. 1:17:00.420 --> 1:17:03.600 If Alison Weisbach had listened to the cynics, she never 1:17:03.660 --> 1:17:06.820 would have sold all her possessions and moved to Hollywood. 1:17:07.380 --> 1:17:09.460 If she'd listened to those who called her a dreamer, 1:17:09.580 --> 1:17:11.950 she wouldn't have gone to audition after audition. 1:17:12.370 --> 1:17:13.389 But because she had. 1:17:13.310 --> 1:17:16.730 The determination, she earned the role of dead co-ed number 1:17:16.770 --> 1:17:21.230 three in the latest sorority slasher film. That's the fighting spirit. 1:17:21.630 --> 1:17:25.050 The same fighting spirit Tom Brenneman brings to your morning. 1:17:25.490 --> 1:17:28.490 The latest news, traffic, weather, and more Monday morning at 1:17:28.490 --> 1:17:31.340 5 a.m. on 700 WLW. 1:17:32.580 --> 1:17:38.080 Could you use a hand with gas, groceries, the holidays, 1:17:38.660 --> 1:17:41.759 that four-leg parlay you know is going to hit? 1:17:42.800 --> 1:17:47.310 Good day for a football bear catch at Nippert. 37-24, 1:17:47.370 --> 1:17:49.990 the final over Texas Tech. 1:17:50.020 --> 1:17:50.090 J.C. 1:17:50.110 --> 1:17:54.120 French throws four touchdown passes. Other Big 12 action right now. 1:17:54.200 --> 1:18:01.309 Central Florida hosting BYU, unbeaten, down 31-39. Central Florida is 1:18:01.560 --> 1:18:03.830 holding on, or at least trying to, in a second overtime. 1:18:03.870 --> 1:18:07.510 And just underway in Arizona, it's Iowa State and Arizona 1:18:07.990 --> 1:18:11.670 getting at it as well. And it's already 8-0 Arizona. And, 1:18:11.710 --> 1:18:15.610 of course, later on, UC will get themselves a taste 1:18:15.689 --> 1:18:18.450 of Utah, number 10 in a week. And then they 1:18:18.490 --> 1:18:22.160 got Houston, then Iowa State soon enough also as the 1:18:22.200 --> 1:18:23.960 gauntlet in the Big 12 continues. 1:18:24.320 --> 1:18:24.760 How you doing? 1:18:24.800 --> 1:18:27.559 It's Sterling hanging around. I got news coming up at 8. 1:18:27.560 --> 1:18:29.460 Donna D going to join me after that. We have 1:18:29.479 --> 1:18:32.140 an hour together before she goes solo for her Saturday 1:18:32.200 --> 1:18:35.560 night show. And other ground to cover as well. You 1:18:35.620 --> 1:18:39.080 covered the tipping thing. Seems pretty clear. People ask me, 1:18:39.140 --> 1:18:42.020 please play the squid bellies thing again. We'll hold off 1:18:42.100 --> 1:18:45.850 on that a little bit. I'm not wanting to offend anyone, 1:18:45.890 --> 1:18:47.830 but if someone's offended, I kind of go, well, it's tough. 1:18:48.330 --> 1:18:48.590 It's funny. 1:18:48.610 --> 1:18:54.309 It's funny, and there's a similarity of sound, and what 1:18:54.340 --> 1:18:56.160 started out as a slimy ad, but then I found 1:18:56.220 --> 1:18:59.280 funny in it. So that's all I worry about generally 1:18:59.660 --> 1:19:02.900 is just trying to find the funny. I'm kind of 1:19:02.939 --> 1:19:07.320 curious this next week, some weekend, this weekend, some next 1:19:07.360 --> 1:19:10.560 weekend being Halloween trick or treat Saturday for depending on 1:19:10.580 --> 1:19:12.960 the municipality where you're in. As I was a kid 1:19:13.010 --> 1:19:14.850 growing up, I don't think on the weekend they ever 1:19:15.030 --> 1:19:18.389 had us do beggars night. I think they were concerned 1:19:18.450 --> 1:19:21.910 about darkness and kids on the street and people driving 1:19:21.950 --> 1:19:25.030 around doing weekend stuff and so on. But depending on 1:19:25.070 --> 1:19:28.240 where you are. Come a week from today, about this time, 1:19:28.260 --> 1:19:30.220 there'll be a lot of little monsters and goblins and 1:19:30.260 --> 1:19:33.740 freaks going door to door going, give me some candy. 1:19:34.020 --> 1:19:36.280 Give me some candy. I'm going to soap your windows 1:19:36.439 --> 1:19:40.040 or something like that. So it's pretty exciting, but also 1:19:40.060 --> 1:19:43.250 a lot of parties and dressing up. And I know Donna, 1:19:43.410 --> 1:19:45.250 who we'll talk to in a little bit, has her 1:19:45.290 --> 1:19:48.510 big Halloween bash next weekend. And I have some other 1:19:48.550 --> 1:19:50.550 people asking me about coming to their place. They go, 1:19:50.570 --> 1:19:52.630 but you have to dress. I was like, well, I 1:19:52.650 --> 1:19:57.180 never go anywhere naked except Christmas. by myself, basically. And 1:19:57.200 --> 1:19:58.820 they're like, no, I mean, we want you to dress up. 1:19:59.100 --> 1:20:03.740 And I am, it seems like a lot of work 1:20:03.780 --> 1:20:06.780 and a lot of effort, but I mean, I've done it. 1:20:08.229 --> 1:20:10.810 A whole bunch of my buddies and I, years ago 1:20:11.150 --> 1:20:13.590 in the Oregon district in Dayton, we went out, sort 1:20:13.610 --> 1:20:15.570 of dressed in drag, which I think freaks a lot 1:20:15.600 --> 1:20:19.380 of people out. We weren't like tranny, like living the life, 1:20:19.460 --> 1:20:22.140 but it seemed right. So we had like balloons that 1:20:22.180 --> 1:20:25.090 we used in our chests. Some of us borrowed from 1:20:25.130 --> 1:20:28.009 our girlfriends some of their like clothes and were told 1:20:28.070 --> 1:20:31.110 strictly at that point not to ruin them. Another buddy 1:20:31.130 --> 1:20:33.010 of mine was all about being Axl Rose at a 1:20:33.050 --> 1:20:36.270 certain point in time as we would get together and 1:20:36.380 --> 1:20:39.400 still will do that on occasion. And ironically, he had 1:20:39.439 --> 1:20:41.700 put on a little weight just like Axl, although I 1:20:41.920 --> 1:20:45.180 think last I saw some video of stage for them. 1:20:46.080 --> 1:20:48.880 Axl may have either gotten himself some good medication or 1:20:48.960 --> 1:20:51.479 on the road, lost some weight, maybe eating better. So 1:20:51.520 --> 1:20:53.840 we'll see how it goes. What I'm curious, though, is 1:20:54.360 --> 1:20:56.740 are you a big costume? Like if you're invited to 1:20:56.780 --> 1:21:00.080 a costume party, do you feel obligated to go full 1:21:00.320 --> 1:21:03.400 on or is it like real simple, easy, like sort 1:21:03.439 --> 1:21:05.780 of like you don't want to go to the trouble? 1:21:05.920 --> 1:21:07.670 I mean, do you not show up? Do you dress up? 1:21:07.729 --> 1:21:10.849 Do you show up? Not people will require it. Sometimes 1:21:10.870 --> 1:21:12.990 they get really serious about it and they get upset. 1:21:13.010 --> 1:21:15.010 I mean, you want me to have a good time? 1:21:15.070 --> 1:21:15.790 I don't know. 1:21:15.870 --> 1:21:18.450 Lots of clothes and a costume. I think I did 1:21:18.490 --> 1:21:21.210 a vampire deal once. I had some of those wax 1:21:21.310 --> 1:21:24.090 teeth that you could get and used to get as 1:21:24.130 --> 1:21:26.139 a kid the same way they had those little juices 1:21:26.229 --> 1:21:28.880 inside wax that you could chew. And then you weren't 1:21:28.900 --> 1:21:29.800 supposed to eat the wax. 1:21:30.240 --> 1:21:30.420 Right. 1:21:30.640 --> 1:21:32.559 So, I mean, I would do that or some like 1:21:32.600 --> 1:21:34.559 good fangs and stuff. You can get some good teeth 1:21:34.620 --> 1:21:37.340 these days. Pretty cheap. I'm just wondering what it is 1:21:37.400 --> 1:21:40.099 like if you're doing that. What do you go to 1:21:40.640 --> 1:21:44.320 in that scenario or otherwise? But it was difficult when 1:21:44.340 --> 1:21:47.229 we did the drag thing because people would like want 1:21:47.250 --> 1:21:50.510 to like molest you effectively, which is not acceptable, by 1:21:50.530 --> 1:21:53.910 the way, costume or not. But people would get their 1:21:53.950 --> 1:21:56.410 hands in some places that were interesting. And then they 1:21:56.470 --> 1:21:59.010 popped like I remember my chest and then I and 1:21:59.030 --> 1:22:01.600 then I was flat chested. It was it was difficult. 1:22:02.060 --> 1:22:05.400 And I deliberately failed to shave. I remember that vividly. 1:22:06.000 --> 1:22:08.020 my buddies and I in that situation. So I'm just 1:22:08.080 --> 1:22:11.000 wondering if you have a holiday, like a Halloween get 1:22:11.040 --> 1:22:15.260 together party costume deal, do you expect everyone to show 1:22:15.360 --> 1:22:18.189 up in costume? Are you offended or bothered if no 1:22:18.290 --> 1:22:21.390 one takes the time or the trouble, which I've been 1:22:21.430 --> 1:22:25.290 told that I'm just lazy and I should do what 1:22:25.310 --> 1:22:28.340 they want me to do, which then of course immediately 1:22:28.400 --> 1:22:30.520 makes me not want to do it at all. because 1:22:30.540 --> 1:22:33.860 it's an obligation in that situation. 513-749-7800, the big one. Oh, 1:22:33.900 --> 1:22:37.460 this will be interesting. Richard's been holding on forever. I 1:22:37.460 --> 1:22:38.740 haven't talked to Dick and Dayton in a minute. 1:22:39.060 --> 1:22:39.780 Dick, how are you? 1:22:40.120 --> 1:22:42.740 If you're invited to a costume party, do you dress up, 1:22:43.090 --> 1:22:45.110 or do you, like, go, no, I'm just going as 1:22:45.130 --> 1:22:45.809 Dick from Dayton? 1:22:47.470 --> 1:22:51.090 No, you know, I used to, in our band, we 1:22:51.130 --> 1:22:55.549 would have, you know, a play, and we always wore, 1:22:56.070 --> 1:22:59.670 we could wear our... black pants or a dark shirt. 1:23:00.110 --> 1:23:03.689 I always wore a white shirt and black pants, and 1:23:03.729 --> 1:23:04.530 we could wear. 1:23:04.290 --> 1:23:05.090 A straw hat. 1:23:05.610 --> 1:23:07.679 And I put a little tie, you know, a tie 1:23:07.700 --> 1:23:08.620 around your neck. 1:23:08.840 --> 1:23:12.559 So your costume was to go as a straw hat wearing, 1:23:12.740 --> 1:23:15.360 fiddle playing, banjo playing dude, right? 1:23:16.120 --> 1:23:21.660 Yeah, yeah, it was really, yeah, they've had, we, here 1:23:21.720 --> 1:23:23.780 where I am, the kids came early. 1:23:24.060 --> 1:23:25.790 They passed out candy last night. 1:23:25.810 --> 1:23:26.590 That was cool. 1:23:27.050 --> 1:23:29.350 Was it really trick-or-treat, or were they just knocking on 1:23:29.410 --> 1:23:30.110 random doors? 1:23:31.970 --> 1:23:32.410 She did. 1:23:35.310 --> 1:23:37.740 It was early this year. Come on, Dick. 1:23:37.780 --> 1:23:40.380 You got to see these kids and give them candy. 1:23:40.400 --> 1:23:41.960 Got to cough up the good stuff. 1:23:42.100 --> 1:23:44.000 Yeah, you got to, Dick. I appreciate the call. So 1:23:44.240 --> 1:23:46.599 that's a little early. I didn't think any like trick 1:23:46.620 --> 1:23:48.880 or treat or beggars night stuff was going on until 1:23:48.900 --> 1:23:52.830 this coming week and then the weekend. Right. Like Thursday, Friday, 1:23:52.870 --> 1:23:57.080 maybe Saturday night, possibly. But apparently in his case, that's 1:23:57.120 --> 1:24:00.800 not the deal. I just have a fast rule that 1:24:00.840 --> 1:24:04.340 goes along with that, and I don't mean to be 1:24:04.479 --> 1:24:07.160 mean about it or hateful about it, but unless you're 1:24:07.180 --> 1:24:13.870 accompanying children, unless you are a child, if you're old 1:24:13.890 --> 1:24:17.270 enough to drive and to get a job, you do 1:24:17.330 --> 1:24:19.870 not need to be going door-to-door begging for candy. 1:24:20.689 --> 1:24:21.310 You just don't. 1:24:21.830 --> 1:24:25.510 And whatever you do, and I still wear the scars 1:24:25.610 --> 1:24:28.030 of it now. I remember as a tiny sterling with 1:24:28.400 --> 1:24:30.340 mom looking for old stuff. She was like, you need 1:24:30.380 --> 1:24:31.780 something to put the candy in. She'd give me an 1:24:31.840 --> 1:24:36.439 old tattered, like a pillowcase. And then maybe she'd give 1:24:36.479 --> 1:24:38.040 me like an old sheet and put it on me 1:24:38.060 --> 1:24:40.060 and make me a ghost. There's a, there's a cheap 1:24:40.160 --> 1:24:42.720 costume kind of scenario. And then she would send us 1:24:42.800 --> 1:24:44.300 out there and we would just have to bob and 1:24:44.360 --> 1:24:47.460 weave and avoid the older kids who would snatch bags, 1:24:47.979 --> 1:24:51.780 which is always a, an emotionally challenging situation. You work hard, 1:24:51.800 --> 1:24:55.920 you knock on doors, you struggle through leaves, wet grass, 1:24:56.040 --> 1:25:00.580 dodge cars, and random other, you know, I guess the 1:25:00.640 --> 1:25:02.440 things in your way as you try to get through 1:25:02.460 --> 1:25:05.570 the neighborhood. And then the other thing that also happens, 1:25:05.630 --> 1:25:07.890 and I wonder about this, and my neighbor said that, 1:25:07.950 --> 1:25:09.850 and then it made me question things. He goes, we're 1:25:09.870 --> 1:25:11.730 going to, you're going to, we're coming to your house. 1:25:11.970 --> 1:25:13.860 And I'm like, yeah, he goes, The kids want to 1:25:13.900 --> 1:25:15.300 come to your house. I'm like, great. I think I 1:25:15.340 --> 1:25:17.160 might have to be working. We're going to go to 1:25:17.180 --> 1:25:19.620 the other neighborhood, get the good candy, then we'll come 1:25:19.640 --> 1:25:22.000 to you. And I'm like, so wait a minute. So 1:25:22.020 --> 1:25:24.880 you take that almost as if somehow I have the 1:25:24.920 --> 1:25:27.900 crap candy, like I'm that guy. And I buy the 1:25:27.960 --> 1:25:31.200 good stuff because often the kids don't show up, not 1:25:31.260 --> 1:25:34.189 many of them. And I want my leftover candy. I 1:25:34.229 --> 1:25:36.910 do not dress as others. I know some people have 1:25:36.950 --> 1:25:39.990 a full-on party. You heard Kevin Carr earlier. We were 1:25:40.030 --> 1:25:42.590 talking about Clayface the movie, and you can certainly listen 1:25:42.610 --> 1:25:47.150 to the podcast. In his neighborhood, the kids are fast 1:25:47.189 --> 1:25:50.750 and furious and in massive numbers and so on. But 1:25:50.990 --> 1:25:53.130 he and his wife, they get all dressed up and 1:25:53.170 --> 1:25:56.090 have a huge sort of deal, project stuff on the 1:25:56.150 --> 1:25:58.950 side of the house. I mean, it's an experience. And 1:25:59.020 --> 1:26:01.920 I've mentioned this before. In the neighborhood when I was 1:26:01.960 --> 1:26:04.729 growing up, there was– One of the really nicer houses 1:26:04.750 --> 1:26:08.049 a couple blocks away, they would have a smoke machine. 1:26:08.870 --> 1:26:11.229 They would have a trip wire. And if you went 1:26:11.250 --> 1:26:14.600 through the yard, which was decorated, it was sort of 1:26:14.620 --> 1:26:16.740 like a Night of the Living Dead scenario. But the 1:26:16.760 --> 1:26:19.160 trip wire, they would randomly pull up. You would fall 1:26:19.180 --> 1:26:21.380 because you would trip over it because it's a trip wire. 1:26:22.200 --> 1:26:23.680 And then sometimes they'd have one that was more of 1:26:23.720 --> 1:26:26.520 a clothesline. And then, of course, the classic of all 1:26:26.560 --> 1:26:29.969 classics is the dentist who lived within a walking distance. 1:26:30.939 --> 1:26:33.360 did what all dentists do, which is try to help 1:26:33.439 --> 1:26:37.640 us maintain good oral hygiene, which is baby toothpaste and 1:26:37.700 --> 1:26:42.939 little baby teen things of dental floss and little baby toothbrushes. 1:26:43.260 --> 1:26:46.340 So as nice and decent and upstanding a citizen behavior 1:26:46.360 --> 1:26:49.380 as that is, as a kid, nobody wanted to go there. 1:26:50.640 --> 1:26:53.809 It was nice, the decorations, but you risked injury and 1:26:53.830 --> 1:26:56.910 then you're getting dental care stuff. I wanted the chocolate. 1:26:57.470 --> 1:27:00.229 I wanted the Tootsie Rolls. I wanted the Blow Pops. 1:27:00.750 --> 1:27:03.270 I did not want apples. I did not want oranges. 1:27:03.380 --> 1:27:06.220 I did not want popcorn balls. Don't be the bad 1:27:06.310 --> 1:27:09.900 house on the street giving away the crap candy. And 1:27:10.060 --> 1:27:13.460 let me just help you out. Do not just put 1:27:13.500 --> 1:27:15.780 a bowl out. Anyone who does that, you have to 1:27:15.820 --> 1:27:18.800 realize the first couple of kids who come by, even 1:27:18.880 --> 1:27:21.439 if they are the most decent kids of all, somebody 1:27:21.500 --> 1:27:22.439 eventually is just going to go. 1:27:22.420 --> 1:27:24.059 We may as well just take the whole bowl. Somebody 1:27:24.120 --> 1:27:24.840 else is going to do it. 1:27:25.610 --> 1:27:29.100 And then you've got an empty bowl, and then upset children, 1:27:29.610 --> 1:27:32.559 and then you've got to deal with that. So I'm 1:27:32.580 --> 1:27:38.160 just trying to help because I can. 513-749-7800, the big one. 1:27:38.520 --> 1:27:41.860 It's a Saturday Sterling. Donna D to join me soon 1:27:42.080 --> 1:27:44.840 after 8. Then she goes till midnight, a winning day 1:27:44.880 --> 1:27:50.939 for those football Bearcats all over Texas Tech, unbeaten till 1:27:50.979 --> 1:27:55.350 they visited Nippert. And Homer Bownoga with a loss, 37-24. 1:27:55.400 --> 1:27:59.770 Next up is Utah at the NIP next Saturday. And 1:27:59.790 --> 1:28:03.310 the Bengals on the road at Baltimore tomorrow with a 1:28:03.290 --> 1:28:05.330 1 o'clock kickoff. And Lamar Jackson, I think this is 1:28:05.390 --> 1:28:07.729 his third or fourth week. He will not get the start. 1:28:07.810 --> 1:28:10.530 So we'll see exactly what the Ravens bring on offense. 1:28:10.910 --> 1:28:14.540 And Trey Hendrickson, of course, wearing, well, a Ravens uniform. 1:28:14.780 --> 1:28:17.979 So that could be emotionally taxing for all of us. 1:28:18.400 --> 1:28:20.940 Tarek in Dallas. It's been a minute. You're with Sterling 1:28:20.979 --> 1:28:22.059 on The Big One. Hey, man, how are you? 1:28:22.870 --> 1:28:27.570 You know, I just have some childhood memories from, you know, 1:28:27.610 --> 1:28:28.840 trick or treat night. 1:28:28.860 --> 1:28:29.860 Sure, sure. 1:28:30.060 --> 1:28:32.860 My mother used to take out me and my best friend. 1:28:32.900 --> 1:28:35.650 He was two doors up. It was just two of us. 1:28:35.740 --> 1:28:38.400 And this would always happen, you know, for two or 1:28:38.410 --> 1:28:40.599 three years. It would just be two of us, and 1:28:40.620 --> 1:28:42.840 we would go all up and down like Harvey Avenue. 1:28:42.880 --> 1:28:46.800 We grew up around up there around General Hospital, Columbia School, 1:28:46.900 --> 1:28:51.040 around that area. And, you know, by the time we 1:28:51.060 --> 1:28:54.360 got halfway through it, there would be about 25 kids 1:28:54.439 --> 1:28:57.440 with us. And we want to know where they come from, 1:28:57.500 --> 1:28:57.760 you know. 1:28:59.000 --> 1:28:59.320 Nice. 1:28:59.380 --> 1:29:02.140 Now, do you do the full-on dress-up now when the 1:29:02.160 --> 1:29:03.160 kids come by, Rick? 1:29:04.010 --> 1:29:06.310 You mean now? 1:29:06.450 --> 1:29:08.229 Yeah, when they show up. 1:29:08.270 --> 1:29:09.430 No, no, no, no, no. 1:29:09.450 --> 1:29:11.110 I'm out of that now. 1:29:12.310 --> 1:29:13.420 I'm out of that now. 1:29:13.500 --> 1:29:15.380 Wait a minute, wait a minute. So you don't just 1:29:15.439 --> 1:29:17.679 dress up for the kids. Do you give good candy, 1:29:17.780 --> 1:29:19.480 or are you like a crap candy giver? 1:29:19.500 --> 1:29:19.760 I don't know. 1:29:20.160 --> 1:29:24.200 I just get, you know, rap candy, you know, like 1:29:24.500 --> 1:29:25.740 three musketeer bars. 1:29:25.820 --> 1:29:26.770 Oh, those are good. 1:29:27.070 --> 1:29:27.429 Yeah. 1:29:27.490 --> 1:29:31.210 Something that's safe, yeah, like that. You know, I just 1:29:31.229 --> 1:29:33.790 get ready to say, yeah. 1:29:34.130 --> 1:29:36.810 I didn't mean to distract you. I got excited thinking 1:29:36.830 --> 1:29:37.470 about candy. 1:29:37.510 --> 1:29:41.720 Back then, I never, I threw away anything that was, 1:29:41.740 --> 1:29:43.920 when I was a kid, the first thing I did 1:29:43.960 --> 1:29:45.820 when I got home, I threw away anything. 1:29:45.660 --> 1:29:47.320 That was unwrapped, like, you know, like apples. 1:29:47.479 --> 1:29:47.780 Oh, yeah. 1:29:48.790 --> 1:29:50.939 Stuff like that, I got rid of all that. And 1:29:51.040 --> 1:29:54.430 I love popcorn. There was this one lady that went 1:29:54.450 --> 1:29:56.850 to my church that lived out of Harvey. 1:29:58.060 --> 1:30:01.580 And she would always popcorn. 1:30:03.710 --> 1:30:04.550 Every Halloween. 1:30:04.710 --> 1:30:06.230 See, sometimes it's nice. 1:30:06.390 --> 1:30:09.690 This is going back around 1965. 1:30:09.689 --> 1:30:11.260 Well, you know, 62. 1:30:11.260 --> 1:30:14.620 Okay, it's been a minute, sure. You can trust it now. 1:30:14.780 --> 1:30:17.240 I'm not necessarily sure. When I was a kid, which 1:30:17.260 --> 1:30:19.800 was a couple decades later... I remember it was a 1:30:19.840 --> 1:30:22.260 big deal. You had to worry about people fouling up 1:30:22.300 --> 1:30:24.020 the candy. They wanted you to take it to, like, 1:30:24.360 --> 1:30:27.450 Christ Hospital or Jewish Hospital, go to get it x-rayed 1:30:27.490 --> 1:30:29.229 back in the day to make sure it was safe. 1:30:29.890 --> 1:30:30.689 Times were different. 1:30:30.950 --> 1:30:32.070 No, they wasn't. 1:30:32.370 --> 1:30:34.990 Things had got crazy like that, though. But, you know, 1:30:35.070 --> 1:30:38.380 we used to go down into, like, you know, over 1:30:38.420 --> 1:30:42.260 there behind General Hospital, you know, like Peabody, Goodman Street. 1:30:42.280 --> 1:30:42.460 Yeah. 1:30:43.120 --> 1:30:45.559 And you talk about, like, this is like around 62-ish, 1:30:45.620 --> 1:30:48.150 you know, going back to when I was in second, 1:30:48.170 --> 1:30:53.800 third grade. You talk about beautiful area. People forgot, you know, 1:30:53.860 --> 1:30:58.980 how beautiful Coryville was. I was just talking to my 1:30:59.020 --> 1:31:02.019 son about that. I say, you would never believe how 1:31:02.080 --> 1:31:05.650 beautiful Cornville was back around 62. You know, like down 1:31:05.660 --> 1:31:08.510 there behind Jewish, I mean, not Jewish Hospital, the old 1:31:08.570 --> 1:31:11.430 Jural Hospital, like down at about Eden Avenue. 1:31:11.530 --> 1:31:12.670 I know where you're talking about. 1:31:12.689 --> 1:31:12.769 Yeah. 1:31:14.050 --> 1:31:16.430 You know, what's interesting to see is how some areas 1:31:16.470 --> 1:31:18.269 have come up and a lot of areas have been 1:31:18.310 --> 1:31:21.120 coming up the last 10, 15 years or so. and 1:31:21.140 --> 1:31:23.220 then other areas sort of come down, and it's always, 1:31:23.280 --> 1:31:25.670 I guess, sort of the up-and-down kind of scenario of it, 1:31:25.680 --> 1:31:26.780 but it does change. 1:31:27.280 --> 1:31:30.860 It was so beautiful, and one thing I used to love, 1:31:31.500 --> 1:31:36.510 when a lot of times you were going trick-or-treating these people, 1:31:36.970 --> 1:31:39.809 and they'd have these nice colored, you know, back there, we. 1:31:39.689 --> 1:31:42.330 Didn't have a color television, you know. 1:31:42.650 --> 1:31:45.270 In the early 60s, and these people would have colored 1:31:45.310 --> 1:31:47.290 television sets, and they would invite you to come in 1:31:47.330 --> 1:31:49.330 and say, you want to see my television set? And 1:31:49.350 --> 1:31:52.900 they just got it or something.

No, I mean, you know, normally 1:34:53.720 --> 1:34:55.680 these are three hour shifts. A four hour shift is 1:34:55.720 --> 1:34:58.179 kind of long and you can already hear my voice 1:34:58.240 --> 1:35:00.179 is crazy because I went out and had fun last 1:35:00.260 --> 1:35:05.690 night and downtown cincinnati gorgeous night and i mean this 1:35:05.770 --> 1:35:08.450 is the best time in cincinnati we have a full 1:35:08.490 --> 1:35:10.310 moon for halloween weekend. 1:35:10.110 --> 1:35:13.350 Oh wait a minute are you are you like superstitious 1:35:13.530 --> 1:35:14.790 about the full moon. 1:35:14.630 --> 1:35:19.220 Thing i just think that it's like atmosphere right now 1:35:19.300 --> 1:35:23.960 it's like it's gorgeous it's it's a full moon there's 1:35:24.100 --> 1:35:27.480 so many halloween parties that are going on downtown and 1:35:27.900 --> 1:35:30.860 across the tri-state one I have one, and this will 1:35:30.880 --> 1:35:35.190 be my second Halloween party. And, I mean, no, I 1:35:35.229 --> 1:35:38.050 heard you earlier on whether you should dress up or not. 1:35:38.130 --> 1:35:41.229 Nobody needs to dress up. Some people will, and they 1:35:41.270 --> 1:35:44.420 take it very seriously. How seriously, though, do you have 1:35:44.439 --> 1:35:45.900 to be? Very serious. 1:35:45.920 --> 1:35:50.340 Because I am unlazy. I'm just going to tell you 1:35:50.360 --> 1:35:52.920 right now. I am very lazy. So if I show 1:35:53.000 --> 1:35:55.960 up and it's just me, that's going to be okay. 1:35:56.040 --> 1:35:58.880 You can totally. I'm going to show up and it's 1:35:58.939 --> 1:36:01.130 just going to be me. I'm not dressing up. 1:36:01.610 --> 1:36:04.090 So, I mean, when it comes to lazy, let me 1:36:04.150 --> 1:36:06.830 correct you because you're not. You're the hardest working guy 1:36:06.870 --> 1:36:10.650 in show business. But when it comes to dressing up 1:36:10.950 --> 1:36:14.479 in Halloween costumes, yeah, you don't have passion for it. 1:36:15.130 --> 1:36:17.590 And I get it. I love when people are like 1:36:17.689 --> 1:36:20.720 so fun dressed up. I was telling Eddie Fingers, I 1:36:20.760 --> 1:36:23.840 was on the air with him this past week, and 1:36:24.479 --> 1:36:27.090 I said a friend of mine came over in Batman 1:36:27.530 --> 1:36:28.849 costume last year. 1:36:28.870 --> 1:36:30.229 Full on chest plate, the whole deal. 1:36:30.270 --> 1:36:33.639 Full on chest plate, the whole thing. And then his 1:36:33.720 --> 1:36:37.280 wife was a cat woman or whatever. Oh, that's fun. 1:36:37.400 --> 1:36:40.150 And it was very cute. He didn't take that hood 1:36:40.290 --> 1:36:42.930 off with the ears and it was a whole. 1:36:42.950 --> 1:36:44.990 Well, that's the costume. Wait a minute. 1:36:45.290 --> 1:36:47.219 Not for like three hours? What do you do with it? 1:36:47.229 --> 1:36:49.150 You just put it on the coat rack? You just 1:36:49.180 --> 1:36:51.960 pull it off and have a cocktail at some point. 1:36:52.000 --> 1:36:53.500 You're either in it or you're not. 1:36:53.620 --> 1:36:55.729 He did not break character at all. 1:36:56.220 --> 1:36:58.120 Now, did the wife or the girlfriend? 1:36:58.160 --> 1:37:01.229 She just had the mask so she could drink freely. 1:37:01.330 --> 1:37:02.570 I mean, he had the. 1:37:02.610 --> 1:37:04.309 Full- Did he have a straw or how did he 1:37:04.350 --> 1:37:04.670 do this? 1:37:05.050 --> 1:37:07.650 I think he took a sip, pulled his mask back down. 1:37:07.689 --> 1:37:10.759 I didn't 100%, but I was like, you can take 1:37:10.780 --> 1:37:11.540 that off. 1:37:11.580 --> 1:37:14.019 That could be some chafing problems, I would think, or 1:37:14.060 --> 1:37:15.460 something like that. Like, what happened to you? 1:37:15.479 --> 1:37:16.559 Yeah, it was intense. 1:37:16.800 --> 1:37:19.020 Yeah, so that's going to be a big thing. I 1:37:19.040 --> 1:37:23.010 have to ask about the- The whole full moon thing. Now, 1:37:23.330 --> 1:37:26.429 I have friends who, and you do too, they're first responders, 1:37:26.470 --> 1:37:29.880 law enforcement, some who are like ER docs and so forth, nurses. 1:37:30.479 --> 1:37:32.550 And they will swear to the fact, and you can 1:37:32.590 --> 1:37:33.710 look at their records. 1:37:33.810 --> 1:37:35.870 It makes people crazy. They get busier. 1:37:36.229 --> 1:37:40.090 People do more dumb-ass things with a full moon. Why 1:37:40.130 --> 1:37:45.450 do you— is there something with it, or is it just— it' s 1:37:43.310 --> 1:37:45.170 got to be something innate with people. 1:37:45.590 --> 1:37:49.939 Well, I mean, the moon does change energies. I just 1:37:49.979 --> 1:37:54.220 had this astrologist on the last— Two weeks ago on 1:37:54.240 --> 1:37:59.490 the Saturday. Sterling, I never knew the amount of things 1:38:00.030 --> 1:38:03.970 that I mean, I was on full on in learning mode. 1:38:04.290 --> 1:38:09.590 But yeah, it does affect the moon, the sun, Mars, Venus, 1:38:09.850 --> 1:38:14.429 all those things affect energy and the way that we 1:38:14.490 --> 1:38:19.760 feel emotionally and in relationships and stuff. People get weird. 1:38:20.340 --> 1:38:21.760 People do get weird. 1:38:22.460 --> 1:38:24.930 Should you not be responsible for your actions on a 1:38:24.970 --> 1:38:27.210 full moon? Because it's not your fault then, right? I mean, 1:38:27.330 --> 1:38:29.430 it's the environment that you're in. 1:38:29.490 --> 1:38:31.980 It's the moon. Do not put that out there. 1:38:32.020 --> 1:38:32.730 Is that not right? 1:38:32.900 --> 1:38:36.410 Everybody is responsible for their own energy and actions. 1:38:36.750 --> 1:38:37.170 Oh, okay. 1:38:37.210 --> 1:38:40.030 I just wonder.

But 1:39:50.080 --> 1:39:52.340 in the three years that I dressed up for Halloween, 1:39:53.020 --> 1:39:55.879 my costume for three straight years was a white T-shirt 1:39:56.540 --> 1:39:58.760 with a letter P on it. And then I would 1:39:58.780 --> 1:40:02.420 get some chalk or black, you know, black makeup and 1:40:02.439 --> 1:40:05.320 make my left eye black.

But 1:41:00.580 --> 1:41:04.640 I literally looked up because I don't know if you bought, 1:41:05.200 --> 1:41:07.460 Halloween candy for the kiddos. You did because I heard 1:41:07.479 --> 1:41:10.580 you talk. Okay. It's so expensive. 1:41:10.760 --> 1:41:11.020 Yeah. 1:41:11.320 --> 1:41:16.420 Holy smokes. I've already spent $ 75.

I had enough 1:41:28.330 --> 1:41:30.889 to where the majority of them got it. And then 1:41:30.930 --> 1:41:33.590 my sister was going, take more than just, I was like, 1:41:33.610 --> 1:41:37.429 can you ration this? It is expensive. So I did 1:41:37.470 --> 1:41:41.070 some numbers, Sterling, and you're not going to believe how much. 1:41:41.130 --> 1:41:46.910 So I didn't realize that Halloween is the second biggest... 1:41:46.430 --> 1:41:49.519 Besides Christmas. Yes, commercial holiday in America. 1:41:49.530 --> 1:41:51.599 Oh, yeah, we love it. I don't know why I 1:41:51.650 --> 1:41:53.809 did not realize it. It's been Halloween in the stores 1:41:53.939 --> 1:41:54.810 since the 4th of July. 1:41:54.840 --> 1:41:55.420 Yes, it has. 1:41:55.540 --> 1:41:58.000 And it's been Christmas since somewhere in between. 1:41:58.140 --> 1:42:00.600 I don't even know. Well, guess how much? Take a 1:42:00.700 --> 1:42:04.639 guess how much Americans will spend on Halloween candy alone. 1:42:04.900 --> 1:42:05.760 Halloween candy alone. 1:42:05.780 --> 1:42:07.820 So let me just hear this. There's 330 million or 1:42:07.860 --> 1:42:09.599 so Americans that we know of, right? 1:42:09.660 --> 1:42:10.340 Yeah, 340, yeah. 1:42:10.360 --> 1:42:11.340 Something like that. 1:42:11.439 --> 1:42:14.230 Okay, 340 million. Fine. Narrow it down. 1:42:14.240 --> 1:42:17.510 And you figure, okay, well, like one snack size candy. 1:42:17.930 --> 1:42:19.770 About 25 million to $ 30 million. 1:42:19.870 --> 1:42:26.470 Okay, 30 million? No, because not everybody, I think, celebrates it. Oh, well, 1:42:26.510 --> 1:42:29.010 it's candy. You got to celebrate. Okay, hang on. I 1:42:29.050 --> 1:42:31.120 got that wrong. You said $ 30 million? 1:42:31.160 --> 1:42:31.680 That's low. 1:42:31.760 --> 1:42:36.019 That's low. Billion. Yes, billion. Billion with a B. $ 3. 9 1:42:35.660 --> 1:42:38.439 billion we are going to spend. Ten times as much 1:42:38.479 --> 1:42:42.390 as I thought. Spend on Halloween candy. That is crazy. 1:42:42.410 --> 1:42:43.670 It's because chocolate's not cheap. 1:42:44.010 --> 1:42:47.430 Well, I'm going to ask you, so we'll do the 1:42:47.630 --> 1:42:50.910 top five countdown because this is the majority of who's 1:42:50.930 --> 1:42:57.670 getting all the money. Right, right. Top five. Okay, M & M' s, right? 1:42:57.770 --> 1:42:59.690 Which one's? Plain or peanut? 1:42:59.770 --> 1:43:00.100 Oh, plain. 1:43:00.120 --> 1:43:03.170 They're on the list. Plain M & M' s are at 1:43:03.570 --> 1:43:08.590 number four. Number four? Yeah. I'm doing the top five. Okay. 1:43:08.729 --> 1:43:09.670 Give me somebody else. 1:43:10.790 --> 1:43:14.360 I would say just a plain old chocolate bar. That'd 1:43:14.380 --> 1:43:15.520 be like number two. 1:43:15.720 --> 1:43:17.599 Hershey's milk chocolate bar, right? 1:43:17.620 --> 1:43:19.439 Dark chocolate would be my favorite, but I know I'm 1:43:19.460 --> 1:43:20.020 in the minority. 1:43:20.160 --> 1:43:23.680 Okay. But Hershey's milk chocolate did make number three. Number three. 1:43:23.720 --> 1:43:24.099 I'm close. 1:43:24.189 --> 1:43:27.030 Okay. So you got M & M plain at number four. 1:43:27.479 --> 1:43:30.430 Hershey's Milk Chocolate No. 3. These are the ones that 1:43:30.450 --> 1:43:34.340 are getting the $ 3. 9 billion most. No popcorn balls. No 1:43:34.380 --> 1:43:35.540 popcorn balls. Thank God. 1:43:36.870 --> 1:43:39.930 Let's see what else is. What's number five? Number five 1:43:39.970 --> 1:43:40.330 of all. 1:43:40.490 --> 1:43:41.510 Did you say Tootsie Roll? 1:43:41.530 --> 1:43:43.349 I was going to say Tootsie Roll, but I don't 1:43:43.370 --> 1:43:44.809 think anybody else likes them but me. 1:43:45.130 --> 1:43:46.750 I don't love Tootsie Rolls. See what I mean? And 1:43:46.790 --> 1:43:47.670 they are not in the top five. 1:43:47.689 --> 1:43:50.110 Dennis loves them because you'll yank fillings out of your mouth. Yeah, 1:43:50.130 --> 1:43:50.630 I don't like them. 1:43:50.950 --> 1:43:53.189 And I've got a crown. Don't eat them. 1:43:53.210 --> 1:43:54.689 Nobody wants a crown like. 1:43:54.570 --> 1:43:56.560 Popping out of their skull. 1:43:56.600 --> 1:43:58.400 No, and I love those things. They've got to be 1:43:58.410 --> 1:43:59.600 on the list. Don't people love those? 1:43:59.640 --> 1:43:59.840 No. 1:44:00.310 --> 1:44:00.550 No. 1:44:00.660 --> 1:44:02.930 Jolly Ranchers are not on the list. You were close 1:44:02.990 --> 1:44:06.150 with Milky Way. Snickers made it at number five. It's 1:44:06.170 --> 1:44:08.550 because they got the nuts and the nougat. Well, I 1:44:08.830 --> 1:44:11.840 was surprised that it wasn't higher than that. Number two, 1:44:11.900 --> 1:44:13.600 you're probably not going to get because you already said 1:44:13.800 --> 1:44:17.660 M & M' s. And it's M & M peanut, which 1:44:17.740 --> 1:44:20.860 I completely agree. I'm just keeping it honest. That M & 1:44:20.600 --> 1:44:21.629 M peanut is way better. 1:44:21.670 --> 1:44:22.689 I'm just keeping it honest. 1:44:22.810 --> 1:44:25.670 Way better than M & M plain. Number one. And 1:44:25.710 --> 1:44:28.059 this is the number one candy sold. 1:44:28.380 --> 1:44:29.400 By the way, according to whom? 1:44:29.800 --> 1:44:30.740 Is that in Kroger? 1:44:30.900 --> 1:44:32.800 Is this like candy.com? 1:44:33.080 --> 1:44:37.790 This is from sweettooth.com. So they basically have bad teeth. 1:44:38.890 --> 1:44:45.460 According to sweettoothreport.com. 2026, number one has been number one 1:44:45.520 --> 1:44:48.460 for a long, long time. I think it's a Reese's. Yes, 1:44:48.500 --> 1:44:48.960 the Reese's cup. 1:44:49.000 --> 1:44:51.130 Yeah, if you can get the dark chocolate Reese's, I 1:44:51.150 --> 1:44:51.769 will marry you. 1:44:51.790 --> 1:44:55.129 I'm just telling you. Two great tastes that taste great together. 1:44:55.229 --> 1:44:59.629 Chocolate and peanut butter. Everybody loves it. Everybody wants Reese's cups.

And I will have 1:45:05.640 --> 1:45:08.880 at least $ 150 worth of candy at my house. 1:45:09.620 --> 1:45:10.750 And you will likely run out. 1:45:11.640 --> 1:45:14.960 Probably i mean it is a it is a it 1:45:15.040 --> 1:45:17.660 is a show uh all the neighbors go out in 1:45:17.680 --> 1:45:19.760 the front and now i know all my neighbors so 1:45:19.820 --> 1:45:23.000 i love them they bring bond they bring fire pits 1:45:23.120 --> 1:45:25.439 and and then then you know it's kind of like 1:45:25.479 --> 1:45:28.160 the mullet where it's business in the front party in 1:45:28.180 --> 1:45:30.840 the back then we go to my deck and then 1:45:30.920 --> 1:45:31.820 it's adult. 1:45:31.510 --> 1:45:33.320 Time it's grown up yeah yeah so you take care 1:45:33.350 --> 1:45:36.490 of the kids then you send those little monsters yeah 1:45:36.510 --> 1:45:39.570 and then the grown-ups get to play yeah that's excellent. 1:45:40.110 --> 1:45:42.670 Uh-huh that's Are you going to come to my Halloween party? 1:45:42.689 --> 1:45:45.050 Listen, this coming week is going to be crazy because 1:45:45.070 --> 1:45:48.230 they've got Friday night.

We're the Who They Play, NewsRadio 700, 1:50:33.950 --> 1:50:37.540 WLW Cincinnati. Much better Saturday night. You got the Bearcats 1:50:37.560 --> 1:50:40.300 with a big win over Texas Tech. Utah's up next 1:50:40.400 --> 1:50:43.760 at Nippert. They're ranked number 10, and football Bearcats making 1:50:43.800 --> 1:50:46.620 some noise, right? And Bengals are on the road in 1:50:46.640 --> 1:50:50.000 Baltimore tomorrow. Just about a two-and-a-half, three-point underdog, I think. 1:50:50.100 --> 1:50:50.340 Yeah. 1:50:50.420 --> 1:50:52.480 I mean, if you're worried about wagering and all, Donna. 1:50:52.500 --> 1:50:57.120 I know how you are. You know. I'm never going 1:50:57.140 --> 1:50:58.439 to bet against the Bengals, ever. 1:50:58.830 --> 1:50:59.010 Right. 1:50:59.150 --> 1:51:01.229 I'm just not. That's a wise move. And even if— 1:51:01.370 --> 1:51:03.830 Politically correct. That's what I'm saying. 1:51:03.850 --> 1:51:06.150 Lamar Jackson, by the way, not going tomorrow again. So 1:51:06.189 --> 1:51:08.070 that's probably good news for Bengals, I would think. And 1:51:08.090 --> 1:51:10.890 then there's Trey Hendrickson, too, who's in a Ravens uniform now, 1:51:10.930 --> 1:51:11.810 which is very weird to me. 1:51:11.950 --> 1:51:12.269 Yeah. Yeah. 1:51:12.689 --> 1:51:15.080 I mean, I don't know about that one. Yeah, it's 1:51:15.120 --> 1:51:15.939 all right. It's all right. 1:51:15.960 --> 1:51:17.120 He's a monster is what he is, but he got 1:51:17.150 --> 1:51:20.500 a little long in the tooth. Not you, but him. 1:51:20.520 --> 1:51:20.860 Not us. 1:51:21.300 --> 1:51:21.920 Certainly not us. 1:51:22.460 --> 1:51:23.780 And that means older, right? 1:51:23.840 --> 1:51:24.300 Yes, correct. 1:51:24.320 --> 1:51:25.080 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1:51:25.300 --> 1:51:25.660 That's true. 1:51:25.680 --> 1:51:28.080 I don't know why. Why is that term that? 1:51:28.700 --> 1:51:31.920 I guess because your teeth grow as you get older 1:51:32.040 --> 1:51:33.980 or your gums– I don't know. 1:51:34.000 --> 1:51:34.060 No. 1:51:34.060 --> 1:51:36.400 I don't have– and you have nice teeth. 1:51:36.439 --> 1:51:39.050 Well, thanks, but immediately you say like gum recession. I'm 1:51:39.090 --> 1:51:40.189 immediately like, what's going on. 1:51:40.130 --> 1:51:40.450 With my mouth? 1:51:40.470 --> 1:51:43.010 My sister just said long in the tooth or longer 1:51:43.050 --> 1:51:44.570 in the tooth or whatever, and I was like, what 1:51:44.610 --> 1:51:46.890 in the world? And you just said it, and I knew. 1:51:47.050 --> 1:51:48.450 It means you're getting older. 1:51:48.470 --> 1:51:52.950 Like a squirrel or like a beaver, right? If they 1:51:52.990 --> 1:51:55.400 don't gnaw on something, their teeth keep growing and it 1:51:55.439 --> 1:51:56.320 can become like a hat. 1:51:56.420 --> 1:51:58.160 It could end them. Yeah, squirrels. 1:51:58.280 --> 1:51:59.020 So long in the tooth. 1:51:59.040 --> 1:52:04.740 Because they can't eat. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 1:52:04.960 --> 1:52:05.780 That's a problem. 1:52:05.840 --> 1:52:06.120 Yeah. 1:52:06.300 --> 1:52:07.020 You know what else is a problem? 1:52:07.050 --> 1:52:07.510 Let me ask you this. 1:52:07.520 --> 1:52:08.410 You already voted, right? 1:52:08.990 --> 1:52:09.370 Mm-hmm. 1:52:10.170 --> 1:52:12.590 And let's not necessarily get all political, but I'm just 1:52:12.610 --> 1:52:15.310 kind of curious. What was that experience like? Because Hamilton County, 1:52:15.350 --> 1:52:15.910 that's where you vote. 1:52:16.030 --> 1:52:16.229 Yes. 1:52:17.090 --> 1:52:20.490 I remember when I lived East Walnut Hills, I've talked 1:52:20.530 --> 1:52:23.639 about this before, first time I voted there, they sent 1:52:23.660 --> 1:52:25.200 me the card to tell me where to go when 1:52:25.240 --> 1:52:27.439 I registered. They were like across the street to the 1:52:27.479 --> 1:52:31.740 apartment building there in the basement. I thought, If this 1:52:31.840 --> 1:52:35.139 is not some type of weird setup, I have no 1:52:35.320 --> 1:52:38.680 idea what you're talking about. And it was before the gentrification. 1:52:38.720 --> 1:52:41.809 I wouldn't have gone to that. It was before gentrification 1:52:41.870 --> 1:52:45.310 over there. So I was like, I'm not sure about this. 1:52:45.729 --> 1:52:47.890 What was it like going, because I know you did 1:52:47.910 --> 1:52:49.810 it earlier in the week, not today when they had 1:52:50.070 --> 1:52:52.469 the substance that somebody sent stirring up trouble. 1:52:52.490 --> 1:52:55.270 Was it easy peasy or what? Okay, so I normally 1:52:55.370 --> 1:52:58.820 vote day of elections, and it's always a big event. 1:52:58.960 --> 1:53:01.600 I'm with my sister, and we have dinner, and we 1:53:01.680 --> 1:53:05.120 check that. Whether it's the midterms or presidential, we just 1:53:05.200 --> 1:53:07.599 watch the returns come in and that kind of stuff. Well, 1:53:07.620 --> 1:53:09.860 I'm going to be in Florida this year, so on 1:53:09.930 --> 1:53:12.809 election day, which is odd. It was a random trip 1:53:12.850 --> 1:53:15.010 that I have to go to, but I went to 1:53:15.030 --> 1:53:17.530 the Hamilton County Board of Elections. That's the only place 1:53:17.570 --> 1:53:22.100 you can vote early. Okay. There were so many signs 1:53:22.280 --> 1:53:23.439 and people screaming. 1:53:23.460 --> 1:53:25.450 Oh, and the way in, you mean? 1:53:25.530 --> 1:53:29.269 So even the minute you drive around to see the 1:53:29.310 --> 1:53:32.130 big building, you're going to see all kinds of signs there. 1:53:32.250 --> 1:53:34.410 And it's going to be, you know, some for the 1:53:34.470 --> 1:53:37.300 Republican Party, some for the Democratic Party. And you drive down, 1:53:37.660 --> 1:53:39.880 you try and find a parking spot, and it was 1:53:39.979 --> 1:53:43.100 packed there. And then when you get out and walk, 1:53:43.610 --> 1:53:47.530 Then there's all kinds of protesters and all kinds of 1:53:47.570 --> 1:53:51.160 people screaming. Protesting what? Well, it was– I don't know 1:53:51.180 --> 1:53:53.460 if you would call them protest advocates. 1:53:53.660 --> 1:53:54.120 Oh, sure. 1:53:54.220 --> 1:53:57.750 Volunteers. They're talking about– Hand-handling. 1:53:57.970 --> 1:53:59.310 It reminds– you know what it reminds me of? 1:53:59.310 --> 1:54:00.349 It does a little bit. 1:54:00.370 --> 1:54:04.270 It reminds me of the– Up in O'Brienville. It's like 1:54:04.310 --> 1:54:06.380 you're hanging out like Short Vine. 1:54:06.700 --> 1:54:06.960 Yeah. 1:54:07.000 --> 1:54:10.979 You know, at different times, there may be some meth heads, 1:54:11.040 --> 1:54:13.660 random junkies. No disrespect. 1:54:13.689 --> 1:54:14.210 I love the neighborhood. 1:54:14.229 --> 1:54:15.150 Hey, man, you got a dollar? 1:54:15.170 --> 1:54:15.470 Right. 1:54:15.530 --> 1:54:15.990 Whatever else. 1:54:16.010 --> 1:54:17.450 There was some tweaker girl when I went there to 1:54:17.470 --> 1:54:19.730 get a sub not long ago. And she like comes in. 1:54:19.770 --> 1:54:20.910 I wonder if you give me some money. And she's 1:54:20.950 --> 1:54:21.809 like in the booth like. 1:54:22.800 --> 1:54:23.439 Oh, God. 1:54:23.479 --> 1:54:26.040 That's what I think of. I don't need anybody up 1:54:26.100 --> 1:54:28.040 in my grill when I'm going to vote. 1:54:28.100 --> 1:54:28.540 Yes. 1:54:28.740 --> 1:54:31.620 I don't understand that. If you don't know what you're 1:54:31.700 --> 1:54:35.270 doing when you're on the way in to vote, maybe 1:54:35.310 --> 1:54:38.310 you ought not vote. Who was swayed by that? 1:54:38.510 --> 1:54:42.010 Well, they have to be behind this barricade, so they're 1:54:42.050 --> 1:54:45.410 not up on you like that woman. She was cute. 1:54:45.470 --> 1:54:46.430 One of the big ones. 1:54:50.080 --> 1:54:54.360 Sterling is yes on voter ID. You know, so there's 1:54:54.540 --> 1:54:59.620 there's certain issues that, you know, people maybe you're not 1:54:59.620 --> 1:55:01.820 100 percent sure on when you walk in there and 1:55:01.860 --> 1:55:04.350 they want that last ditch effort. But I will tell 1:55:04.390 --> 1:55:05.930 you this. I thought I was going to be there 1:55:05.950 --> 1:55:07.210 was a work day. I thought I was going to 1:55:07.230 --> 1:55:09.970 be there for like an hour. They were so organized 1:55:10.050 --> 1:55:12.990 at the Hamilton County Board of Elections. They they took 1:55:13.050 --> 1:55:15.130 me in, I think, maybe five, 10 minutes for me 1:55:15.150 --> 1:55:17.650 to vote, vote. And I was in and out. It 1:55:17.700 --> 1:55:20.050 was really very good experience. 1:55:20.070 --> 1:55:22.490 I didn't even have that luck at the drive-thru today. 1:55:24.070 --> 1:55:26.510 I'm like, man, if I hadn't have paid, I would leave. 1:55:26.670 --> 1:55:30.200 They have so many volunteers and so many people that 1:55:30.360 --> 1:55:33.340 are organized there to handle. And I said to the 1:55:33.420 --> 1:55:36.540 woman who was just telling me, here's what you have 1:55:36.580 --> 1:55:39.310 to do, blah, blah, blah. And I said, wow, there's 1:55:39.350 --> 1:55:42.710 a lot of people here. She said, record number of 1:55:42.810 --> 1:55:44.090 people voting. That's good, right? 1:55:44.190 --> 1:55:46.550 I mean, the more people who take part, the more 1:55:46.570 --> 1:55:48.940 people are heard, which means that the system is working. 1:55:48.950 --> 1:55:51.880 I can't stand the ones that complain about everything and 1:55:51.940 --> 1:55:54.580 then they don't vote. Like, what do you want to do? 1:55:54.600 --> 1:55:57.920 Now, see, George Carlin was great about that, rest in peace. 1:55:58.140 --> 1:56:02.000 One of the greatest satirists, provocateurs, comedian, whatever you want 1:56:02.020 --> 1:56:04.720 to call him, genius. that there was. And you go, well, 1:56:04.880 --> 1:56:06.850 I don't vote and I can complain about all of 1:56:06.860 --> 1:56:08.930 it because you people wrecked it. And he probably used 1:56:08.950 --> 1:56:11.110 some other language. And on one hand, I'm like, I 1:56:11.130 --> 1:56:14.040 totally get it, but I always feel like I need 1:56:14.380 --> 1:56:15.320 to do my part. 1:56:15.560 --> 1:56:16.480 Yes, of course. 1:56:16.560 --> 1:56:16.840 You know? 1:56:17.340 --> 1:56:20.450 I mean, some people don't vote because they don't want 1:56:20.470 --> 1:56:23.750 to go on jury duty. And they don't want to 1:56:23.790 --> 1:56:26.950 be pulled in the pool of jury duty. They keep requesting. 1:56:26.970 --> 1:56:31.020 That's our responsibility, too. Everybody wants their day in court. 1:56:31.400 --> 1:56:33.360 And you need American citizens. 1:56:33.380 --> 1:56:33.720 It's the system. 1:56:33.740 --> 1:56:34.440 Exactly. 1:56:34.460 --> 1:56:37.200 You've got to take part. So have you ever had 1:56:37.260 --> 1:56:40.000 anyone sway your opinion on the way in? I mean, 1:56:40.020 --> 1:56:42.110 I've had people annoy me to where I've been like, 1:56:42.670 --> 1:56:45.130 even when they've been an advocate for something I'm for. 1:56:45.150 --> 1:56:47.210 I'm kind of like, man, you are annoying as hell. 1:56:47.830 --> 1:56:49.650 I might vote against it just because you're up in 1:56:49.690 --> 1:56:53.040 my face. And I've taken my mom because, you know, 1:56:53.060 --> 1:56:55.140 you do that at some point in life if they're around. 1:56:55.840 --> 1:56:57.960 And she will like, oh, let me talk to them. 1:56:57.980 --> 1:57:00.220 I'm like, you know, why are you talking to people? 1:57:00.520 --> 1:57:01.840 You've already got a plan. 1:57:01.940 --> 1:57:02.560 I was with you. 1:57:02.640 --> 1:57:05.100 I printed it for you. And she's like, well, they're 1:57:05.120 --> 1:57:07.270 taking the time to talk to me. I'm like, I 1:57:07.310 --> 1:57:08.650 don't need to talk to any. 1:57:09.520 --> 1:57:11.410 I don't know when I'm going to vote. I am 1:57:11.590 --> 1:57:14.330 on a mission to go and vote. I already know 1:57:14.350 --> 1:57:17.110 I'm well informed in the issues that I want to 1:57:17.150 --> 1:57:20.610 vote for. So I can't say that anyone has ever 1:57:20.670 --> 1:57:24.810 changed my. my opinion about what I was intending to 1:57:24.880 --> 1:57:29.040 vote on. Never. I can't remember one time that that happened. 1:57:29.060 --> 1:57:31.300 I remember 2000 to age myself. 1:57:31.560 --> 1:57:31.960 Yeah. 1:57:32.060 --> 1:57:33.860 I was in Columbus. I'd left here because you got 1:57:33.880 --> 1:57:34.480 to go where the work is. 1:57:34.500 --> 1:57:36.320 Was it presidential election? Hell yeah. 1:57:36.700 --> 1:57:38.680 And it was raining and I worked in the evening. 1:57:38.780 --> 1:57:41.420 That was W, wasn't it? George W. 1:57:41.610 --> 1:57:44.730 And the former vice president. 1:57:45.590 --> 1:57:46.050 Al Gore. 1:57:46.070 --> 1:57:46.610 Uh-huh. 1:57:46.650 --> 1:57:46.750 Yeah. 1:57:47.210 --> 1:57:50.730 And it was, it was Florida in the dangling, pregnant, 1:57:51.250 --> 1:57:53.960 hanging chads, which is not the Chad who's like, Hey, 1:57:54.180 --> 1:57:55.220 I'm Chad. 1:57:55.700 --> 1:57:57.340 It was, that was crazy. 1:57:57.380 --> 1:57:58.460 Different types of voting. 1:57:58.480 --> 1:58:02.240 Bulging Chad, dangling. It was like, you need to see. 1:58:02.000 --> 1:58:05.950 A doctor for something bad. And I remember I waited 1:58:06.090 --> 1:58:08.430 for hours and it was raining. And then I had 1:58:08.550 --> 1:58:11.530 like a meeting. So I left and I was here. 1:58:11.550 --> 1:58:14.030 I'm like, but I hadn't moved enough. I'm like, fine. 1:58:14.050 --> 1:58:16.570 Then I came back later and did it before I 1:58:16.610 --> 1:58:19.070 ended up going to work and it took hours. And 1:58:19.110 --> 1:58:21.020 that was great turnout. But you want to talk about 1:58:21.060 --> 1:58:23.840 people who peeled off and probably never went back. 1:58:24.260 --> 1:58:25.060 That's the problem. 1:58:25.080 --> 1:58:27.040 I think the early voting is a great opportunity. But 1:58:27.080 --> 1:58:30.150 some people say that that or the mail-in is somehow– 1:58:30.470 --> 1:58:33.510 The antithesis of what the system is and opens for vulnerability. 1:58:33.610 --> 1:58:33.830 Yeah. 1:58:34.090 --> 1:58:38.390 I like to trust those people, Republican, Democrat, independents, those people, 1:58:38.430 --> 1:58:41.650 whether it's Hamilton County or Montgomery or Butler County, pick 1:58:41.690 --> 1:58:43.380 a county in a state of your choice. 1:58:43.560 --> 1:58:43.810 Yeah. 1:58:43.940 --> 1:58:47.200 These are people who volunteer, who are there to make 1:58:47.380 --> 1:58:49.020 sure the system works. 1:58:49.100 --> 1:58:49.420 Yes. 1:58:49.520 --> 1:58:50.420 That's what we want. 1:58:50.500 --> 1:58:50.880 Yes. 1:58:51.280 --> 1:58:51.560 Right? 1:58:51.620 --> 1:58:54.300 Yes, I agree. And I do think, I mean, because 1:58:54.420 --> 1:58:58.310 I normally, I love... doing my duty of voting as 1:58:58.470 --> 1:59:01.350 i love the right to vote as an american woman 1:59:01.410 --> 1:59:04.750 in this country and i've voted since i was 18 1:59:04.750 --> 1:59:08.290 years old i was like alex p keaton from like 1:59:08.530 --> 1:59:10.810 what do you want your driver's license for to vote 1:59:10.850 --> 1:59:13.960 of course that's what you do and uh so i 1:59:14.020 --> 1:59:17.520 voted every single year and i take it seriously this 1:59:17.680 --> 1:59:20.270 i don't normally I think I only had to vote 1:59:20.410 --> 1:59:24.380 one other time early. And so this was the second 1:59:24.440 --> 1:59:26.480 time I've ever voted early, and I'm so grateful it 1:59:26.520 --> 1:59:27.900 was so organized. That's good. 1:59:27.940 --> 1:59:30.200 I'm glad. And thank you for those people, one, who 1:59:30.260 --> 1:59:33.080 are taking part, and two, that volunteer to do the 1:59:33.140 --> 1:59:36.300 work at the polling station, either at the county main 1:59:36.380 --> 1:59:39.360 place or when it comes down to precinct after precinct 1:59:39.420 --> 1:59:40.140 after precinct. 1:59:40.220 --> 1:59:41.120 Because it's important. 1:59:41.760 --> 1:59:43.780 It really is. 513-749-7800, the big one. I'm kind of curious, Donna, 1:59:43.800 --> 1:59:50.570 because I know there are some. It has to probably 1:59:50.630 --> 1:59:53.350 be effective. Like, I hate the negative ads, but they 1:59:53.370 --> 1:59:56.310 spend more money on negative ads. Forget about which lean 1:59:56.330 --> 2:00:00.630 the politics is because it works apparently universally. And I'm 2:00:00.670 --> 2:00:03.520 not sure if it keeps people from voting or if 2:00:03.580 --> 2:00:07.380 it motivates people to vote maybe more so. 2:00:07.480 --> 2:00:09.180 That's a good question right there. 2:00:09.240 --> 2:00:12.080 So maybe somebody can answer that. And then I just 2:00:12.100 --> 2:00:13.980 want to know if anybody's been swayed. Like, you know, 2:00:14.100 --> 2:00:16.130 I've been studying this and I wasn't sure I was 2:00:16.150 --> 2:00:17.410 going to go in and I was either going to 2:00:17.450 --> 2:00:20.680 leave that race blank. But thank God you showed up 2:00:20.720 --> 2:00:22.780 with that little teeny card and to get in my 2:00:22.840 --> 2:00:25.680 face to tell me you want me to vote. Has 2:00:25.740 --> 2:00:27.220 anybody actually made that decision? 2:00:27.240 --> 2:00:29.220 Do you think, and I'll ask you this question because 2:00:29.260 --> 2:00:32.000 I see we're getting callers. Do you think that the 2:00:32.660 --> 2:00:37.730 ad with Amy Acton's mother is going to hurt Ramaswamy? 2:00:37.750 --> 2:00:39.290 I don't. 2:00:40.240 --> 2:00:41.890 You know, I think that's more of a woman call, 2:00:42.270 --> 2:00:45.270 and I don't mean that disrespectfully by any stretch of 2:00:45.290 --> 2:00:48.130 the imagination. I think it's a slimy-ass ad. I'd love 2:00:48.150 --> 2:00:49.830 to know how much they paid her, firstly. 2:00:49.990 --> 2:00:53.590 Yeah. Secondly— They spent $ 4 million on it, and it's 2:00:53.670 --> 2:00:55.950 a terrible look. I'm in the wrong business. 2:00:56.350 --> 2:00:58.750 We should be in the business of making ads for college. 2:00:58.790 --> 2:01:01.310 Not that ad. I have morals. I mean, I think 2:01:01.370 --> 2:01:05.150 it was terrible. I think the mother should be ashamed 2:01:05.210 --> 2:01:05.730 of herself. 2:01:05.750 --> 2:01:08.650 Do you think that— see, I think more women would be— I mean, 2:01:08.810 --> 2:01:11.510 I recoiled from it because I— I've known so many 2:01:11.570 --> 2:01:14.410 women who have been victims of some type of abuse 2:01:14.800 --> 2:01:16.920 in their home or elsewhere. And to be in a 2:01:16.960 --> 2:01:19.820 situation where she effectively, and I believe her sibling, were 2:01:19.880 --> 2:01:21.440 removed and the courts were involved. 2:01:21.460 --> 2:01:24.260 You know how hard that is to remove kids from 2:01:24.300 --> 2:01:27.100 their mom? It's not easy, right? That is a very 2:01:27.180 --> 2:01:28.230 hard thing to do. 2:01:28.240 --> 2:01:28.320 Yeah. 2:01:28.920 --> 2:01:33.650 But the mother is just absolutely— she clearly has issues mentally. 2:01:33.770 --> 2:01:36.490 Do you think anybody would sway their vote? 2:01:36.570 --> 2:01:37.730 I think so, yeah. 2:01:38.270 --> 2:01:40.710 So that's the other question. Did that make you go, yeah, 2:01:40.750 --> 2:01:41.750 I'm going to vote for him, or are you going 2:01:41.770 --> 2:01:45.750 to vote for her? Either way, it just seems so weak. 2:01:46.370 --> 2:01:48.950 It's just lack of— Low class. 2:01:49.050 --> 2:01:49.470 Yes. 2:01:50.150 --> 2:01:52.290 All the way around. And lack of morals, right or wrong. 2:01:52.550 --> 2:01:55.170 But anything to win, right? Politics, anything. 2:01:55.390 --> 2:01:57.290 I don't think that that's the right thing. 2:01:57.310 --> 2:01:57.710 Eating cats. 2:01:58.600 --> 2:02:00.100 He cats and. 2:02:00.040 --> 2:02:03.680 Dogs in Springfield, yes. That was silly. It was silly. 2:02:03.700 --> 2:02:05.240 It's effective, though. 2:02:05.550 --> 2:02:06.210 People believe it. 2:02:06.200 --> 2:02:08.630 People did believe it, but they're going to believe what 2:02:08.670 --> 2:02:10.650 they want to believe no matter what. If you're at 2:02:10.690 --> 2:02:14.470 that level, you're going to believe whatever it is you want. 2:02:15.070 --> 2:02:17.190 Whatever narrative you want to believe, you're going. 2:02:17.070 --> 2:02:17.440 To do it. 2:02:17.510 --> 2:02:20.870 And then you've got to disprove or argue a negative 2:02:21.010 --> 2:02:24.870 that may be untrue, so then you're automatically changing the conversation. 2:02:24.950 --> 2:02:27.270 So in that respect, it is a very effective thing 2:02:27.310 --> 2:02:29.850 for the negative. And it turns people off. Let's see 2:02:29.930 --> 2:02:32.230 what Tracy and Rosalyn says with Sterling and Donna D 2:02:32.250 --> 2:02:33.430 on the big one. Hey, what's going on? 2:02:35.150 --> 2:02:35.870 Tracy, are you there? 2:02:37.060 --> 2:02:37.680 Hey, yeah. 2:02:37.850 --> 2:02:38.880 Hey, it's your turn. 2:02:40.780 --> 2:02:43.560 Yeah, you guys make a great combination. 2:02:43.640 --> 2:02:45.660 Thank you. He's my buddy. 2:02:45.680 --> 2:02:47.100 Appreciate the kind words. 2:02:47.140 --> 2:02:47.640 What else you got? 2:02:48.840 --> 2:02:50.180 Well, I'm going to. 2:02:50.850 --> 2:02:54.030 petition that you guys have a radio show together. 2:02:54.110 --> 2:02:54.610 Well, we do. 2:02:54.850 --> 2:02:58.600 We're doing it right now. You are on the same 2:02:58.650 --> 2:03:01.580 radio show we're doing right this minute. 2:03:01.980 --> 2:03:06.540 Thank you, Tracy. I'm the stray dog. 2:03:08.240 --> 2:03:09.700 It's going to be a regular thing. 2:03:10.220 --> 2:03:12.380 You guys do a great job. I love you. 2:03:12.600 --> 2:03:16.620 I appreciate it. It was off topic, but he sucked 2:03:16.680 --> 2:03:19.520 up to the host, which is always very compelling. 2:03:21.560 --> 2:03:23.300 I don't know. And he was quick to do it. 2:03:23.300 --> 2:03:24.840 He was like, I just love you and click. I know, 2:03:24.940 --> 2:03:28.180 and we appreciate it. We would have liked to have 2:03:28.460 --> 2:03:31.680 heard his opinion on this as well because, listen, this 2:03:31.720 --> 2:03:34.000 has been one of those ads and everyone says there's 2:03:34.040 --> 2:03:36.660 an October surprise. There's always going to be an October surprise. Well, 2:03:36.700 --> 2:03:39.470 what are we? How many days away from November 3rd? 2:03:39.490 --> 2:03:43.890 The whole thing is a surprise. I mean, November 3rd 2:03:43.950 --> 2:03:44.950 is next Wednesday. 2:03:45.230 --> 2:03:45.690 Or no. 2:03:45.710 --> 2:03:46.470 Tuesday. 2:03:46.510 --> 2:03:51.100 Tuesday. No, it's the– Oh, week from Tuesday. Week from Tuesday, right. 2:03:51.760 --> 2:03:57.670 Thank you. So we're right at the– The thing. 2:03:57.910 --> 2:04:01.030 I've had people that you want to volunteer, and they've 2:04:01.090 --> 2:04:02.930 asked me even one. I'm like, okay, well, I could 2:04:02.950 --> 2:04:04.850 do that maybe at the polls depending. And I'm like, man, 2:04:04.870 --> 2:04:05.810 that's a really long day though. 2:04:06.040 --> 2:04:08.420 Yeah. Have you ever volunteered at the ball? 2:04:08.500 --> 2:04:09.320 No, but I haven't. 2:04:09.580 --> 2:04:12.780 I think it's a little probably late in the game now. Yeah, probably. 2:04:12.900 --> 2:04:15.530 I would be willing to bet that somebody, we could 2:04:15.550 --> 2:04:17.670 have signs vote for us and we could just stand 2:04:17.730 --> 2:04:19.650 out there and hold them outside of the polling place. 2:04:19.910 --> 2:04:20.630 That would be fun. 2:04:21.640 --> 2:04:22.420 For a little bit. 2:04:22.540 --> 2:04:23.960 I think people would get annoyed. 2:04:24.320 --> 2:04:25.540 At us more than somebody else. 2:04:25.560 --> 2:04:26.100 Nobody cares even. 2:04:26.120 --> 2:04:27.740 You know what it reminds me of? Anybody who's ever 2:04:27.760 --> 2:04:31.339 been to Las Vegas on the strip and you've walked 2:04:32.150 --> 2:04:34.930 up and down the strip maybe from one casino resort 2:04:34.970 --> 2:04:38.070 place to another and not in a car or whatever. 2:04:38.090 --> 2:04:41.430 And they had more of them before things have changed 2:04:41.470 --> 2:04:43.850 when it comes to like the world of immigration and 2:04:43.890 --> 2:04:46.290 so forth. But they would have those people with those 2:04:46.330 --> 2:04:49.250 hooker trading cards out in front and they'd flip those 2:04:49.270 --> 2:04:52.520 little cards. It reminds me the same way as going 2:04:52.560 --> 2:04:54.680 to vote with the people that are standing there trying 2:04:54.700 --> 2:04:55.060 to get you to. 2:04:55.060 --> 2:04:57.940 Vote for their son. Humans just doing human things, darling. 2:04:58.400 --> 2:05:00.160 Have the card. Have the card. 2:05:00.380 --> 2:05:02.500 I'm like 20. The first time I go, I'm looking 2:05:02.520 --> 2:05:04.040 at it. I'm like, what's on the card? My buddy's like, 2:05:04.060 --> 2:05:05.940 don't worry about it. I'm like, oh, she'll come to 2:05:05.960 --> 2:05:08.200 the room. I did not know that. 2:05:08.540 --> 2:05:09.180 Oh, God. 2:05:09.200 --> 2:05:11.140 Turnout would be much bigger if that were the case 2:05:11.180 --> 2:05:11.940 in election time. 2:05:12.000 --> 2:05:12.470 Well. 2:05:13.020 --> 2:05:16.470 Is that bad? I do think. I've gone too far? 2:05:16.790 --> 2:05:19.800 You've gone. Just a, just a. Just a little bit 2:05:19.850 --> 2:05:23.240 beyond the line. It's only for entertainment. You are a 2:05:23.300 --> 2:05:26.700 habitual line stepper. I have to go. It's your turn now. 2:05:26.720 --> 2:05:26.820 Boo! 2:05:26.840 --> 2:05:29.280 Thank you for coming in and spending a little time. 2:05:29.320 --> 2:05:29.840 It's been a while. 2:05:29.940 --> 2:05:30.340 I know. 2:05:30.400 --> 2:05:33.360 I'm so grateful we got an hour together. And we're 2:05:33.380 --> 2:05:36.790 going to be doing the morning show in one week's time. 2:05:37.230 --> 2:05:40.110 Dan O'Barnard's got your 9 o'clock report straight away. Drew, Esther, Heidi, 2:05:40.150 --> 2:05:42.210 thanks for doing what you do, keeping us online and 2:05:42.250 --> 2:05:45.090 in time or something close to that. Donna D is 2:05:45.130 --> 2:05:47.410 coming up. She'll roll to bed night. I know she's 2:05:47.430 --> 2:05:50.540 got more Crumbine. Crumbine, great criminal defense counsel. 2:05:50.580 --> 2:05:54.360 Yeah, you know, there was a verdict in the Hinton trial. 2:05:54.420 --> 2:05:55.360 So we're going to talk about that. 2:05:55.380 --> 2:05:55.680 Guilty. 2:05:55.900 --> 2:05:56.240 Yes. 2:05:56.260 --> 2:05:57.180 As it should be.
