Speaker 1: All right, be back on the Big One, seven hundred
Speaker 1: W LW. Seems like everything's back to normal now, do it?
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll in for Eddie and Rocky, and I certainly
Speaker 1: hope everyone, if you're listening right now, I hope you
Speaker 1: had a great Thanksgiving. I hope you're having a great
Speaker 1: day after Thanksgiving. Always good to have a little chat
Speaker 1: with Mike Allen as he's on his way out and
Speaker 1: I'm on my way in, and Sean McMahon is running
Speaker 1: the big board in the seven hundred WLW control center,
Speaker 1: the command center is I like to call it, so
Speaker 1: we'll have time for phone calls a little bit later on.
Speaker 1: When you do call in, make sure you say hello
Speaker 1: to Sean McMahon and uh five one three, seven, four nine,
Speaker 1: seven eight hundred the Big One. Normally in this spot
Speaker 1: on Fridays, we turn it over to our buddy Richard
Speaker 1: Skinner from Channel twelve for a little a little breakdown
Speaker 1: on the Bengals and sports in general. And Skinny is
Speaker 1: enjoying his Thanksgiving Day holiday, so special guest analyst today,
Speaker 1: special guest analyt. And I would wager that he's never
Speaker 1: been called that he's been called a lot of other things,
Speaker 1: but special guest analysts is our old buddy wild Man
Speaker 1: walk so wild Man? Am I right about that? Or
Speaker 1: You've been called lots of things special guest analysts. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's ever happened before. That's the first,
Speaker 1: but I like it. How you doing, buddy? Do you
Speaker 1: have a good things good?
Speaker 2: Doing good?
Speaker 3: Anytime the Bengals win, it's a great day, man day.
Speaker 1: So let me let me ask you this. I'm watching
Speaker 1: that game last night and I'm thinking here, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: two things. Number one is, I do not recall a
Speaker 1: time when I have seen the impact of a single player,
Speaker 1: especially in football, across an entire team. I think the
Speaker 1: the energy was different. I think the approach was different.
Speaker 1: I don't know if the play calling was all that
Speaker 1: much different, but just Joe Burrow being there I think
Speaker 1: ignited the defense. The defense played like we have not
Speaker 1: seen all season. And then the other thing is I
Speaker 1: was wondering this about the offense of the Bengals. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm not an expert when it comes to analyzing offense
Speaker 1: or especially you know NFL Football Engine, and I'm thinking
Speaker 1: to myself, is this Bengals offense that much on a
Speaker 1: Razor's edge to where it has to be executed to
Speaker 1: absolute perfection in order for it to work. So when
Speaker 1: you had Jake Browning come in, he's look, he's a
Speaker 1: great guy, not of the same caliber as Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is probably, you know, marginal compared to Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1: So is is Joe Burrow really And and that question
Speaker 1: was asked when he went out and got hurt? Is
Speaker 1: he really? And how can it be that? I mean,
Speaker 1: you know how good he is, but how can it
Speaker 1: be that that one guy is that much of a
Speaker 1: difference maker?
Speaker 3: Well, you can say the same thing when Joe Montana played,
Speaker 3: how much he brought to the forty nine ers, Or
Speaker 3: you can say the same thing when Brett Farr played
Speaker 3: back in the day. He's a different animal, without a doubt.
Speaker 3: I mean, Joe Burrow, going back to last year ago,
Speaker 3: Dan has now won eight games in a row. He brings,
Speaker 3: he he lifts up the team, and you could you
Speaker 3: could see that the guys were playing a little bit harder,
Speaker 3: not to say they weren't playing for Joe Blaco.
Speaker 2: And of course the defense.
Speaker 3: Wasn't plan so great either under Joe Blaco until the
Speaker 3: last couple of weeks. But Joe Burrow just brings a
Speaker 3: different element to the team.
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy's a winner.
Speaker 3: I mean the guys the winner go back to college
Speaker 3: and look at him, and he brought the took the
Speaker 3: Bengals to the super Bowl. Without Joe Burrow, Zach Taylor
Speaker 3: is probably looking for work.
Speaker 1: I think that's a good point. And this morning, I
Speaker 1: don't hear anyone calling for Zach Taylor's head. But for
Speaker 1: what did they lose eight out of nine when you
Speaker 1: know when they were losing four or five six in
Speaker 1: a row. Every time I turn on social media the
Speaker 1: next day, I see what do I see? Fire Zach Taylor.
Speaker 1: Fire Zach Taylor. Fire Zach Taylor. So it seems to
Speaker 1: me there's a lot of people in the Bengals organization
Speaker 1: who want to literally fall to their knees and thank
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow for saving Maybe I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: going to be to save the season, but saving their
Speaker 1: jobs at least for the time being.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean I don't see Zach Taylor going anywhere,
Speaker 3: you know, before this end of the season. Maybe, I
Speaker 3: know we've got a year on his contract. His play calling,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be blunt with you. Still sucks. I mean
Speaker 3: here they are down on the goal line early in
Speaker 3: the game and second in goal and he calls three
Speaker 3: pass plays. You don't even run the ball. You got
Speaker 3: a guy with like like Chase Brown has been chewing
Speaker 3: up yard is left and right the last four weeks
Speaker 3: and they run the ball one time.
Speaker 2: I don't understand that.
Speaker 1: But we've seen this all year long.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna win many football games kicking field goals, Dan,
Speaker 3: and they've got to do a better job in the
Speaker 3: red zone, and.
Speaker 2: Joe said that.
Speaker 3: I mean, let's just be honest here, Joe was a
Speaker 3: little rusty, you know, at the beginning of the game,
Speaker 3: but then, like he said, he got his feet under
Speaker 3: him and he was able to start finding Jamar, Chase's
Speaker 3: favorite receiver. And I'm not worried about Joe Burrow. It's
Speaker 3: just said some of the play calling that drives me nuts.
Speaker 3: The defense, what more can you say about the defense?
Speaker 3: They had like five turnovers. They played fast then, in fact,
Speaker 3: they've looked really fast in the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: I don't know what al Golden did. And of course
Speaker 2: they blitzed.
Speaker 3: We haven't seen we haven't seen him blitz hardly at all,
Speaker 3: and that really calls Lamar Jackson. He didn't know what
Speaker 3: to do with the blitz called so al golden. Maybe
Speaker 3: Al Goland has stumbled onto something now that we haven't
Speaker 3: seen that he's one of the wanted.
Speaker 2: To stick with. And it's working. It's working.
Speaker 3: I mean, look at the Look at the number of
Speaker 3: points that the defense is allowed the last three weeks. Now,
Speaker 3: this is not to say that they're gonna reel off
Speaker 3: six more wins in a row. I mean that the
Speaker 3: road is the road is tough. It's you know, it's
Speaker 3: on the Buffalo, and then Baltimore comes here. Then they
Speaker 3: got to go to Miami. Then they have those two
Speaker 3: games against the Cardinals and the Browns, but one game
Speaker 3: at the time, you never know. Nine and eight, if
Speaker 3: they have to finish, I don't know they'd even get
Speaker 3: some in the playoffs, stand to be honest with you,
Speaker 3: because of the tiebreaker and all these other scenarios. But hey,
Speaker 3: right now, Joe Burrow has won eight games in a row.
Speaker 3: Last year he got on that roll. We got in,
Speaker 3: but we fell shorts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, if I'm not mistaken, I think there
Speaker 1: was only one sack last night, So we've seen, you know,
Speaker 1: we saw improved line play when Joe Flacco was back there,
Speaker 1: and I don't think he can really have any complaints
Speaker 1: about the offensive line play from last night. When I'm
Speaker 1: with you, when the Bengals got that turnover earlier in
Speaker 1: the game and it's first and goal on the two
Speaker 1: yard on the two yard line, and they don't convert there,
Speaker 1: they don't they you know, they ran a fourth down
Speaker 1: play and wound up turning the ball over, which I'm
Speaker 1: okay with, you know, putting of the other team back
Speaker 1: in the end zone like that. But when they didn't
Speaker 1: convert that for points, I thought to myself, great, here
Speaker 1: we go again. Bengals have a golden opportunity, a gift
Speaker 1: given to them, and they can't capitalize on it. And
Speaker 1: it turned out that that wasn't the scenario that played out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that this course technically should have been thirty six
Speaker 3: to fourteen. I said, I'm thirty two to fourteen. Like
Speaker 3: you said, you got to turn those opportunities in the
Speaker 3: touchdowns though.
Speaker 1: And then so in that first half that they're kicking
Speaker 1: all those field goals, I'm thinking, man, that you left
Speaker 1: a lot of points out there.
Speaker 3: I mean to do that on the road, which is
Speaker 3: tow hard and at prime time, and of course the
Speaker 3: pressure with Joe coming back with YadA YadA, YadA.
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of.
Speaker 3: Things were against the Bengals as they went into that game.
Speaker 3: But I think they I think they woke up a
Speaker 3: few people here with this, with this win.
Speaker 1: So going forward now and you talked about the road
Speaker 1: is not going to be is not going to be easy.
Speaker 1: This it might be a little bit of a wake
Speaker 1: up call for the teams they have coming up. And
Speaker 1: I can see if a scenario where other teams might
Speaker 1: have been looking past the Bengals because they just said
Speaker 1: they're so terrible. But now with Joe, it's a different
Speaker 1: story with Joe Burrow. And and I hate to hate,
Speaker 1: I hate to be that you know that that one
Speaker 1: that one trick pony, or that you know that with
Speaker 1: that one uh, that that one note song about Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1: But I mean it really is it really, it is amazing.
Speaker 1: And Tarika was talking about it last night on the broadcast.
Speaker 1: I mean, how it really boils down to having that
Speaker 1: guy on the field.
Speaker 3: It is I've never seen anything like as the Bengals go,
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow goes. I just it's it's the bottom line.
Speaker 3: You can't you can't deny that they like they the
Speaker 3: team plays.
Speaker 2: A little bit harder. There's a lot of pep in
Speaker 2: their step going to Buffalo.
Speaker 3: I'm not worried about the benk was able to, you know,
Speaker 3: to play Buffalo because they know Buffalo, just like they
Speaker 3: know the Baltimore Ravens. They know, they know everything about Buffalo,
Speaker 3: and Buffalo is not a world beater. I mean, Josh
Speaker 3: Allen has won to hell of a quarterback. But the
Speaker 3: Bengals can. The Bengals could beat Buffalo. I'm gonna say
Speaker 3: they will, But they can beat Buffalo because they know
Speaker 3: Buffalo and Burrow knows Buffalo and they've handled Buffalo before.
Speaker 1: Well, when you're throwing passes the way he did last night,
Speaker 1: and I found that pretty even in the in the
Speaker 1: first half, there were some passes that I think were
Speaker 1: writing guys hands and they didn't get caught. And yeah,
Speaker 1: you had that one play where Tinsley sort of gave
Speaker 1: up on that route and then decided why better try
Speaker 1: a ball, And to my way of thinking, that should
Speaker 1: have been six points right there. So uh. And then
Speaker 1: Jerico says, you know, the the guy who was commentating
Speaker 1: with to Rico says, that will never happen again with
Speaker 1: Tinderley Garrett. Yeah, which I actually thought Gcon Garrett was
Speaker 1: pretty good last night. I don't know if you watched the TV,
Speaker 1: but uh, I thought that I was actually pretty good
Speaker 1: last night doing the analysis in place of Collins Worth.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then when he did give up on the ball,
Speaker 3: you saw him on the sidelines right after that. He
Speaker 3: was right on the stand, but then he went back
Speaker 3: out there. I mean, I mean he's a he's a
Speaker 3: rook I mean, rookies make mistakes, but they learned on
Speaker 3: Joe's little.
Speaker 2: Well a little the little peeve that you.
Speaker 3: Know, he got gave up on it, but then he
Speaker 3: made a couple of other catches, you know, which which
Speaker 3: was nice. So and now we're gonna get T Higgins back,
Speaker 3: you know, hopefully with this concussion protocol. If T Higgins
Speaker 3: comes back, that's gonna be a big lift going into
Speaker 3: playing the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So we'll see, we'll see what happens. But uh,
Speaker 1: it was we'll see what happens. I really, I really honest.
Speaker 1: Going into this game, I'm thinking that Joe Burrow is
Speaker 1: coming off the injury, he hasn't seen any action for
Speaker 1: a couple of months. Uh, how how sharp can the
Speaker 1: guy be? How good can it be? How much of
Speaker 1: a difference he can make? And I think that question
Speaker 1: was answered last night.
Speaker 2: You got that right, I mean I was.
Speaker 3: I wasn't surprised that he was a little rusty, like
Speaker 3: I said earlier here, but then as the game went on,
Speaker 3: and he even said it, he got his feed on
Speaker 3: the runny got the field of the game.
Speaker 2: And that's Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1: So so this team going forward, they I mean they there.
Speaker 1: Do you think they? I don't know, is it? Is
Speaker 1: it realistic to suspect that they can win the division
Speaker 1: finally to get into the playoffs Because I really thought,
Speaker 1: and I and I'm I may have jumped the gun
Speaker 1: on this, but I really thought after that loss to
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears that we're just going to see these
Speaker 1: guys mail it in for the rest of the season.
Speaker 3: Well, they're three and one in the division and another guy,
Speaker 3: you know, the guys there's a lot of pride in
Speaker 3: that locker room too. I mean, and I'll give credit
Speaker 3: to Zach Taylor for keeping that locker room, you know tight,
Speaker 3: because you can really lose a locker room, and the
Speaker 3: way they lost in some of those games. So I'll
Speaker 3: give to the Zach Taylor some credit there and keep
Speaker 3: in the locker room and even ephlicized after the game,
Speaker 3: you guys worked hard, you stayed you know, you stayed,
Speaker 3: You stayed with it, and.
Speaker 2: That means a lot. That means, it means a lot.
Speaker 2: Like I said, if they could.
Speaker 3: Finish out nine and eight, so many things have to
Speaker 3: go right for the Bengals to get into the playoffs.
Speaker 2: If they can finish out that way, that.
Speaker 3: The tiebreaker situation comes into comes into play. And you know,
Speaker 3: whenever the Bengals need help, and this is going this
Speaker 3: is going back to the last fifty years when the
Speaker 3: Bengals really need help to get into the playoffs. It's
Speaker 3: never worked in their favor. But let's just take one
Speaker 3: game at a time. Let's let's hope the Bengals can
Speaker 3: beat Buffalo and then we'll just move on from there
Speaker 3: one at a time here because there's still plenty of
Speaker 3: time left.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, we will see what happens. Wild Man, I appreciate
Speaker 1: you taking the time to spend some time with us today.
Speaker 1: I know why you're getting ready hit the road. I
Speaker 1: know you're getting ready to go see Indian Hill play tonight.
Speaker 1: And people may not no, but you're the you're the
Speaker 1: PA announcer for the for Indian Hill. And man, what
Speaker 1: a what a season their football team has had this
Speaker 1: year and they they're in the state semi final tonight.
Speaker 1: Tell me about the game.
Speaker 3: Well, they're thirteen and oh and they're playing a team
Speaker 3: called Shelby that's also thirteen and oh. So we're going
Speaker 3: for hook there's that number again, win number fourteen on fourteen.
Speaker 1: Let's go on.
Speaker 3: And the one thing I really found weird, Dan and
Speaker 3: somebody told me that the Indian Hill.
Speaker 2: Braves are a nineteen point underdog.
Speaker 3: I didn't know they put spreads on high school football games.
Speaker 1: But if the Indian.
Speaker 3: Hill Braves are a nineteen point underdog, that's an insult.
Speaker 3: And I'm hopefully that John Rodenberg has already made a
Speaker 3: point to the boys. We're getting no respect. We're rolling
Speaker 3: out of here at four o'clock.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be in.
Speaker 2: Sydney, Ohio.
Speaker 3: I'm bundled up, I'm ready for the cold. I've got
Speaker 3: plenty of hot chocolate. I'm ready to rock.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Rodenberg's a great coach, isn't he that guy? I like
Speaker 1: that guy.
Speaker 3: I love Yeah, He's won everywhere, He's one everywhere he has.
Speaker 1: It's great And Indian Hill is having a great season,
Speaker 1: and wild Man you will be there tonight. So good
Speaker 1: luck to what's Indian Hill and all the local teams
Speaker 1: in action tonight. But wild Man, we got to run again.
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Appreciate
Speaker 1: the time, and appreciate you being my special guest analysts
Speaker 1: and Bengals anytime.
Speaker 2: You know, on the flip side of the Beatles record,
Speaker 2: you know my name, look up my number.
Speaker 1: Wild Man. We'll talk to you later. Brother, have a
Speaker 1: great night. Thanks Dan. All right, all right, there you go,
Speaker 1: the one and only wild Man Walker breaking down some
Speaker 1: Bengals football. Let's go ahead and get a check on
Speaker 1: traffic and weather together on seven hundred w wel Sean McMahon,
Speaker 1: that is an appropriate tune to enter into this segment,
Speaker 1: Little Pink Floyd, little Money, because we are talking about
Speaker 1: money as it relates to high school kids. I think
Speaker 1: I think we were all a little bit shocked when Monday,
Speaker 1: members of the Ohio High School Athletic Association voted in
Speaker 1: favor of an emergency by law on name, Image and Likeness,
Speaker 1: making Ohio the forty fifth state that would allow name
Speaker 1: image and likeness at the high school level. And this
Speaker 1: is look if you, I don't know if it compares
Speaker 1: to what we have in college, but when you look
Speaker 1: at college sports right now and name image and likeness deals,
Speaker 1: the analysis runs the gamut from it. It's one of
Speaker 1: the greatest things to ever happen that has leveled the
Speaker 1: playing field to It's the wild wild West and nil
Speaker 1: at the college level, it's completely out of control. So
Speaker 1: after this referendum was passed, it didn't take long for
Speaker 1: one state representative to step up and say, nah, blah blah, nah,
Speaker 1: I don't think we need ANIL in high school. And
Speaker 1: that representative is Adam Bird. And Adam Bird is my
Speaker 1: guest today on the Being Rocky Show. And Adam Bird,
Speaker 1: I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. How you doing, Dan,
Speaker 1: I'm doing very well.
Speaker 4: Thank you. It's an honor to be with you again
Speaker 4: and certainly a lot to be thankful for. Uh, living
Speaker 4: in Ohio, living in America, I'm thankful to be here.
Speaker 1: Absolutely outstanding, and I totally agree with you on that.
Speaker 1: It seems to me that the the ink didn't even
Speaker 1: dry on this Ohio bylaw allowing nil for high school kids.
Speaker 1: And do you you've come out when sponsoring legislation that
Speaker 1: would shut down the whole nil deal on the high
Speaker 1: school level. What what was your thinking on this?
Speaker 4: Well, there's a there's a lot, there's a lot that
Speaker 4: goes into this, man. And first of all, let let's
Speaker 4: make sure that we understand that there's a lot of
Speaker 4: schools in Ohio that did not want this, and they
Speaker 4: were they were talked into doing this by the o
Speaker 4: HSCA to vote for it.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 4: Not everybody did, a lot of them did not. And
Speaker 4: they were talked into doing this because the o HS
Speaker 4: was afraid of one judge in Franklin County who had
Speaker 4: issued a temporary restraining order. And so because of this
Speaker 4: one judge, they went down this path. And so I'm
Speaker 4: very much opposed to it, of course. And you know,
Speaker 4: I think that high school sports, middle school sports should
Speaker 4: be about teaching your physical health and fitness, your social connections, discipline,
Speaker 4: worked at the character, leadership, communication. Those are the kinds
Speaker 4: of things that sports should be about in America and
Speaker 4: we should not be We should not be changing them
Speaker 4: into something that is about earning money for for certain athletes.
Speaker 1: Well, as I look at the press release that came
Speaker 1: out from the Ohio High School Athletic Association, they talk
Speaker 1: about how the final voting results on this, four hundred
Speaker 1: and forty seven schools voted in favor of the referendum,
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty one schools voted against it, and
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty seven schools abstained from voting. So
Speaker 1: when you look at those schools that didn't vote and
Speaker 1: you combine them with the schools that voted in favor
Speaker 1: of it, I mean that's that, you know, my quick
Speaker 1: math tells me that's about a three to one margin
Speaker 1: that you had high schools in favor of this, and
Speaker 1: so I and I I'm just guessing that you're you're
Speaker 1: probably catching a fair amount of heat for taking this
Speaker 1: this particular angle on this.
Speaker 4: I am catching no heat right now, Dan, and I
Speaker 4: would argue against something you just said. All Right, The
Speaker 4: two hundred and forty seven schools that have stained most
Speaker 4: likely abstained because they did not want to vary in
Speaker 4: favor of it, and they wanted they wanted to support
Speaker 4: ohsca's desire to somehow comply with this one judge. So
Speaker 4: it's actually almost maybe fifty five percent in favor forty
Speaker 4: five percent against. I think all of the schools that
Speaker 4: have stained were against it, Dan. I've heard from superintendents,
Speaker 4: I've heard from school board members. They do not like
Speaker 4: what is going on here with OHSAA. And I will
Speaker 4: tell you I've spoken with the director and I don't
Speaker 4: really believe that he wants to go down this path.
Speaker 4: And I'm pretty dog on sure that the most of
Speaker 4: the member schools that voted for this don't want to
Speaker 4: go down this path either, and they felt like they
Speaker 4: had to because of this one judge in Franklin County.
Speaker 4: And so this is again, Dan, we talked about this
Speaker 4: before and other issues. Should we just as a legislative brand,
Speaker 4: should we just sit by and allow the judicial branch
Speaker 4: to make all of these decisions? And oh, by the way,
Speaker 4: it wasn't the Ohio Supreme Court here. This was one
Speaker 4: county judge in one county in Ohio. We're going to
Speaker 4: let one person make this decision, this policy decision for
Speaker 4: the entire state, and I think that the legislature should
Speaker 4: weigh in. Now, I don't know whether I can get
Speaker 4: fifty votes in the House in seventeen votes in the
Speaker 4: Senate to agree with me, but I got to at
Speaker 4: least try, and if I can, I think that are
Speaker 4: far far outweighs what one county judge sets.
Speaker 1: So when you look at nil, the press release from
Speaker 1: the Ohio High School Athletic Association talks about Ohio would
Speaker 1: be the forty fifth state to allow nil at the
Speaker 1: high school level. I have not researched how many you
Speaker 1: know the other states that have nil, how it's working
Speaker 1: out for them. Have you looked at some of the
Speaker 1: other states that have nil, and have you been able
Speaker 1: to weigh the good, the good and the bad that
Speaker 1: comes along with it.
Speaker 4: Well, my research says forty one. I'm not sure where
Speaker 4: they're getting forty five, but they do say forty five.
Speaker 4: I don't know where they're getting. Mine says forty one. Alabama, Hawaii, Indiana, Michigan, Texas,
Speaker 4: West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. And you know, to this
Speaker 4: point Ohio has not allowed it, does not permit it.
Speaker 4: And so you know, all of a sudden. Now we're
Speaker 4: going to go from people who have, you know, care
Speaker 4: about athletics for the right reasons to now allowing kids
Speaker 4: to make money off of this. I think it's a
Speaker 4: really bad look. And when you look at what's happening
Speaker 4: in high schools right now now, Dan, a lot of
Speaker 4: people will tell you that recruiting doesn't happen, or that
Speaker 4: recruiting is not allowed to happen, and that is simply
Speaker 4: not the case. Recruiting is happening all over the place illegally,
Speaker 4: and when you now allow nil payments to get involved
Speaker 4: in the recruiting mix, it's going to be something that
Speaker 4: I don't believe OHSAA is going to be able to control.
Speaker 4: And I think the coach at Saint Xavier High School,
Speaker 4: the football coach, said something that was exactly the same
Speaker 4: as what I've been telling people. You're going to get
Speaker 4: somebody like a wealthy alumni who owns like a car
Speaker 4: dealership or something. And so it won't be the school
Speaker 4: out there recruiting perhaps, but it'll be an alumni who says,
Speaker 4: you know, I remember when we won the state championship
Speaker 4: back in nineteen nine five. I want that to happen again,
Speaker 4: So I'm going to help recruit by paying this athlete,
Speaker 4: paying that athlete from a variety of regional schools to
Speaker 4: come to the one that that that that wealthy alumni
Speaker 4: wants them to go to. I just think it's as
Speaker 4: a real recipe for disasters.
Speaker 1: Well, Adam Bird, I can tell you there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people listening to us, to us right now, right
Speaker 1: this very second, who are saying that this happens already,
Speaker 1: that this goes on now, that the private schools that
Speaker 1: have access to a lot of money quietly behind the
Speaker 1: scenes or through third parties or whatever kind of connection
Speaker 1: they can make with the kid they want on one
Speaker 1: of their athletic teams, that this sort of recruiting goes
Speaker 1: on now. And for by and large, I think there's
Speaker 1: a lot of individuals out there who recognize this, but
Speaker 1: there's a lot of others who sort of turn to
Speaker 1: bly a blind eye to it and have been doing
Speaker 1: it for decades now, if not longer.
Speaker 4: So if you think it's happening right now, Dan, and
Speaker 4: I think it's happening right now, yeah, yeah, and when
Speaker 4: if it is, and I'm not I'm not certain there's
Speaker 4: money attached to it now there might be you know,
Speaker 4: they might call it scholarship or something like that to
Speaker 4: go to to that. But can you imagine if if
Speaker 4: you pour the gasoline of NIL over that system, and
Speaker 4: that's going to make the big schools get better the
Speaker 4: poor schools get poorer. And you know the other thing
Speaker 4: that you we ought to do when we look at
Speaker 4: the standards, let's look and see what NIL has done
Speaker 4: to college sports. Has it made it better or worse?
Speaker 4: I think it is irreparably made it worse. And and
Speaker 4: so you know that that's Uh, there's so much pressure
Speaker 4: on on on college athletes with all of this. The
Speaker 4: other thing that I've talked about, Dan, is that there's
Speaker 4: been a recent study that has shown that among NC
Speaker 4: DOUBLEA athletes that suicides have doubled because of this pressure.
Speaker 4: And it's now suicide among NC DOUBLEA it is now
Speaker 4: the second leading clause of death in college to to
Speaker 4: these athletes. And we're just we're just going to create
Speaker 4: more pressure.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 4: And you know, there's just this is not what I
Speaker 4: think high school sports should be about. We should be
Speaker 4: trying to teach him of those other skills that we
Speaker 4: talked about before, like discipline, and work ethic and character.
Speaker 1: Well, I really I can't. I can't argue that because
Speaker 1: I think those sorts of things are in uh very
Speaker 1: very sorrowly to say, in very short supply these days.
Speaker 1: But I look at the I'm reading from the story
Speaker 1: that w c PO did on this a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago, or not a couple of weeks ago, but
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, and they talk about this
Speaker 1: basketball player at Garfield Heights named Marcus Johnson and how
Speaker 1: his family was hoping to cash in on an NIO
Speaker 1: deal for him, and they talk about how it would
Speaker 1: help out the family. And I look at this and
Speaker 1: I know that there's a vast, the vast number of
Speaker 1: really good athletes, uh they peak in high school, and
Speaker 1: so being able to tap into something like this on
Speaker 1: someone's athletic ability it may not extend beyond high school.
Speaker 1: There's there are so many great high school players that
Speaker 1: never amount to anything when they when athletically speaking, when
Speaker 1: they get to the college level. So having this one
Speaker 1: opportunity to cash in on, you know, athletic excellence and
Speaker 1: not let not let them be able to do that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think there you're going to get a lot of
Speaker 1: people who are going to look at that and and
Speaker 1: not look kindly towards a proposal for legislation like you have.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I'm not sure about that. I don't
Speaker 4: think that. I don't think high school athletes should be
Speaker 4: making more than a coach, which will inevitably have. They
Speaker 4: shouldn't be making more than the referee. They shouldn't be
Speaker 4: making more than the buzz driver who's driving them to
Speaker 4: the game. You know, this is the I mean we
Speaker 4: we have. We have built these gymnasiums, these stadiums, in
Speaker 4: these weight rooms with public money. Dan the public has
Speaker 4: purchased these for them to have growth opportunities in a
Speaker 4: holistic way that should be about things like leadership and
Speaker 4: communication and fitness and all of these other kinds of things.
Speaker 4: These are the reasons we provide this for our young people,
Speaker 4: and it's not for their earning potential. And if they are,
Speaker 4: by the way, if they are so great at whatever sport,
Speaker 4: I don't want to keep them from making money. Go
Speaker 4: get me in the Olympics, Go join a professional tour,
Speaker 4: professional league, Go join the NCAA where you can't get
Speaker 4: an nil deal. But I don't think that you should.
Speaker 4: I think you should leave high school and go find
Speaker 4: a way to earn money based on whatever talent God's
Speaker 4: given you.
Speaker 1: All right, well, Adam Bird, we'll have to leave it there.
Speaker 1: We got to get to a break. But as always,
Speaker 1: I appreciate the I appreciate the time and appreciate your
Speaker 1: candor on these issues. And this is an issue that
Speaker 1: is going to be right for plenty of debate. What's
Speaker 1: going to be the status on the legislation? How soon
Speaker 1: are you going to be able to get something move
Speaker 1: into the House.
Speaker 4: Hey, thanks for asking that.
Speaker 6: Dan.
Speaker 4: We are not going to be back in session before Christmas,
Speaker 4: and so it won't be until twenty twenty six. I'm
Speaker 4: hopeful that it'll get hearings in twenty twenty six fairly early.
Speaker 4: If I can get my colleagues to agree with me
Speaker 4: that this is the best thing for high school students
Speaker 4: in Ohio, then maybe we can get this pass through
Speaker 4: both chambers and to the Governor's desk by may or June.
Speaker 4: And that way, remember that a bill does not become
Speaker 4: law until ninety days after the governor signs it, So
Speaker 4: if I can get that to the Governor's desk sometime
Speaker 4: in June, hopefully it'll be in place for next school year.
Speaker 4: But you know, that's a lot of work to be done,
Speaker 4: and we'll see how that goes, all right, But right now,
Speaker 4: there's no other opportunity for get for it to get
Speaker 4: a hearing until twenty twenty six, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Adam Bird. I certainly appreciate it, and we will.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens, and I'm sure we'll be talking
Speaker 1: about this on down the road. Really appreciate the time, Adam,
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you again before too long.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Dan, call me back anytime about this. Love to
Speaker 4: talk to you about this or a wide variety of
Speaker 4: conservative legislation that's going on in the Ohio House right now.
Speaker 4: We are trying to protect people's privacy, protect people's freedom,
Speaker 4: protect their pocket put, protect their taxes, protect our border,
Speaker 4: protect you know, law and order. There's a lot of
Speaker 4: things we're trying to do right now, and I always
Speaker 4: appreciate the opportunity to talk to you about that.
Speaker 1: All right, Adam Bird. All the best to you, my friend.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you again soon, Thank you, State Rep.
Speaker 1: Adam Bird. But now time full of trafficking weather together.
Speaker 1: I'm seven hundred girl. Freddie and Rocky Favor basketball coming
Speaker 1: up at five at least. Our pregame is coming up
Speaker 1: to five tip off at five thirty tonight. And if
Speaker 1: you're a high school athlete, do you want to have
Speaker 1: an NIL deal, Name, Image and likeness right now? The
Speaker 1: Ohio state, they're the Ohio High School Athletic Association says
Speaker 1: you can do it, and there are bylaws. If you
Speaker 1: are planning, or if you're a parent, or you're a
Speaker 1: student a student athlete and you want to try and
Speaker 1: get an IL deal. There is a Hio High School
Speaker 1: Athletic Association website you can go. You can go to
Speaker 1: Bylaw four Section eleven, Name Image, Likeness, Personal Branding Rights
Speaker 1: effective eleven, twenty four, twenty twenty five has all and
Speaker 1: there's quite a few hoops you've got to jump through
Speaker 1: in order to secure a name, image and likeness deal
Speaker 1: for yourself. And I would say, if you're going to
Speaker 1: do it, do it the right way, do it by
Speaker 1: the book. I have no idea what the appetite is
Speaker 1: for something like the legislation that Adam Bird is proposing
Speaker 1: to try and shut this down. I have no idea
Speaker 1: if something like this will ultimately get the approval of
Speaker 1: the state legislature. I honestly have no idea. So I
Speaker 1: would say, if you're a high school student and you're
Speaker 1: able to take advantage of this and get in on
Speaker 1: what may be a short window for this, the only
Speaker 1: thing I would say is do it the right way,
Speaker 1: do it the way it's supposed to be done, and
Speaker 1: don't ruin it for everybody else. If you want to
Speaker 1: weigh in on this, five one, three, seven, four nine,
Speaker 1: seven thousand, one, eight hundred The Big One. Dan Carroll
Speaker 1: in for Eddie and Rocky. Time for the News at
Speaker 1: the home of the best Bengals coverage. Seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: Back on the Big One, seven hundred WLW four seven
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll till five today as we turn it over
Speaker 1: to save your basketball Paul, looking forward to that. Dick
Speaker 1: from Dayton is weighing in. It's been a little while
Speaker 1: since I've had a chance to say hello to Dick
Speaker 1: from Dayton. And Dick from Dayton, I hope you have
Speaker 1: had a great Thanksgiving.
Speaker 7: Oh I did. It was really great, good, really great.
Speaker 7: You know what topped it.
Speaker 1: Off though, I bet watching that Bengals game, I bet
Speaker 1: I bet you're eleven and a Medicode.
Speaker 7: I really was shocked because I didn't think but I
Speaker 7: said to Burke, to myself and my friends, and they,
Speaker 7: I said, they're gonna win if Burrow came back. It
Speaker 7: was a heck of a performance.
Speaker 1: Dan, it was.
Speaker 5: Good.
Speaker 7: It's good.
Speaker 1: It was nothing. It was nothing short of amazing. And
Speaker 1: to think that one guy and we have talked ad
Speaker 1: nauseum about what a special player Joe Burrow is and
Speaker 1: how he is just at the very best that is
Speaker 1: playing the game right now. I think some will try
Speaker 1: and make the argument and I think the time will
Speaker 1: tell on this, but maybe perhaps the best of all time.
Speaker 1: So the time will tell on that. But the way
Speaker 1: he was able to change the entire look of that team, yep.
Speaker 1: And then I've heard so many people say, well, Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow doesn't play defense. Well maybe he was playing defense
Speaker 1: last night. Who knows, because the defense was unbelievable.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Well, hey, happy, you know whatever, Happy Holidays. I'll
Speaker 7: talk to you all right, you know.
Speaker 1: Dick from Dayton, Yes, sir, thank you very much, Dick
Speaker 1: from Dayton. I wonder if Dick fro Dayton is the
Speaker 1: one any Black Friday shopping because you will not find
Speaker 1: me out there and I'm looking at video from across
Speaker 1: the street. It is absolutely packed. Not exactly what I
Speaker 1: want to do. Cash Pateel, director of the FBI, said
Speaker 1: today electronic devices we're among the items ceased after search
Speaker 1: warrants were executed in Washington State and San Diego in
Speaker 1: the investigation of the suspect who allegedly shot the two
Speaker 1: National Guard members in the nation's capital. The twenty nine
Speaker 1: year old Afghan I will not say his name, is
Speaker 1: accused of carrying out a targeted ambush style shooting of
Speaker 1: staff Sergeant Andrew Wolf and Specialist Sarah Beckstrom. And of course,
Speaker 1: we learned to our sorrow last night that twenty year
Speaker 1: old Sarah Beckstrom had died as a result of that attack.
Speaker 1: And this has called into question the entire notion of
Speaker 1: having these refugees in our country. President Trump's ordered a
Speaker 1: widespread review of asylum cases approved under President Joe Biden
Speaker 1: the Abiden administration and green cards issued to citizens of
Speaker 1: nineteen different countries. The Afghan The Afghan immigrants suspected of
Speaker 1: shooting two National Guard members in DC entered the US
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one under a resettlement program, and there
Speaker 1: has been a lot of digging into not not too
Speaker 1: distant past, the not too in passed when it comes
Speaker 1: to the notion of these individuals coming into the country,
Speaker 1: and the SoundBite I've been seeing all day, part of
Speaker 1: the day yesterday and all day today is when Jensaki
Speaker 1: was the spokesperson for the Biden administration talking about how, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, look, all these individuals coming in from Afghanistan.
Speaker 1: They're being thoroughly vedded. We are really with painstaking, the
Speaker 1: undergoing the process to make sure it's all copastatic, that
Speaker 1: it's all good with all the all the thousands, tens
Speaker 1: of thousands, however many refugees came into the country. I've
Speaker 1: got that number around here somewhere. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: was trying to find it. But earlier this morning, Judge
Speaker 1: Denin Piro, who is now a US attorney in Washington,
Speaker 1: DC and she is handling this case, was on Fox News,
Speaker 1: And if you miss that this morning, I'll want to
Speaker 1: give you a little flavor of what Janine Piro had
Speaker 1: to say when it came to the issue of individuals
Speaker 1: like this being vetted when they came into our country.
Speaker 1: And Sean McMahon, can we please hear cut number one.
Speaker 8: Let me say one more thing, and it's not about
Speaker 8: this case. It's about vetting in general, the nonsense that
Speaker 8: the Left gave us with this Operation Welcome Allies. Look,
Speaker 8: there was no vetting. If you think there was vetting,
Speaker 8: I have a bridge to sell you. If you saw
Speaker 8: the chaos that was going on at that airport in
Speaker 8: Cobble in Afghanistan, it was typical of what was going
Speaker 8: on in the Biden administration and the Pentagon I believe
Speaker 8: it was Kirby and people in the Biden administration said
Speaker 8: the Afghan withdrawal that we all know was disastrous was
Speaker 8: a success. And that's a quote. They called that a success.
Speaker 8: That chaos is not a success. That is a nightmare.
Speaker 8: And thirteen American servicemen and women were killed at that
Speaker 8: airport because the Biden administration couldn't get their facts together
Speaker 8: and couldn't make a decision regarding the rules of engagement
Speaker 8: to take down a known suicide bomber. So let's stop
Speaker 8: namby pambing around with this, Oh, we was vetted. There
Speaker 8: was no vetted. The Welcome att was thrown down. They
Speaker 8: even admitted that they short circuited the vetting what they
Speaker 8: did was they brought a ninety thousand people into this
Speaker 8: country that were not vetted. They told us all the
Speaker 8: other immigrants were vetted.
Speaker 1: What do we do?
Speaker 8: Called the FBI in Afghanistan and say gee, do you
Speaker 8: have anything on this guy? Did we call Venezuela and say, geete,
Speaker 8: how about your criminal justice system? What can you tell
Speaker 8: me about this guy? It's like the ten twenty million
Speaker 8: America illegals who've been let into this country. We don't
Speaker 8: know who they are until we suffer the consequences that
Speaker 8: we have seen in Washington. And I was on that
Speaker 8: scene and it is a very sad place. And Sarah
Speaker 8: Bestrom and her family did not deserve this. They should
Speaker 8: have been protected, which is a first order of government.
Speaker 8: And then left thought to stop their nonsense and recognize
Speaker 8: that they are not speaking for the American people. They
Speaker 8: are speaking about ideology and politics. Donald Trump, the president,
Speaker 8: the Attorney General, and myself, we're interested in the facts,
Speaker 8: in the prosecution, making people accountable, and rest assured we will.
Speaker 1: So there's Janine Piro and she is, without a doubt,
Speaker 1: extremely passionate about this issue, as she should be. This
Speaker 1: is a woman who has been involved in the criminal
Speaker 1: justice system for decades, and she has seen the good,
Speaker 1: the bad, and the ugly, and she knows where there is.
Speaker 1: Cunningham likes to say where the bodies are bury and
Speaker 1: how serious of an issue this really is. Daniel Turner,
Speaker 1: or not Daniel Turner, but Daniel Greenfield, who writes the
Speaker 1: Front Page magazine, talked about the Afghan refugees that are
Speaker 1: in this country and how many, how many victims we
Speaker 1: have in this country because of individuals like this. The
Speaker 1: attack by this individual in DC took place nearly a
Speaker 1: week after another Afghan, Abdullah Zada, was sentenced to fifteen
Speaker 1: years in prison in an election day plot. Abdullah and
Speaker 1: then another guy, Tod Whedey, his Afghan brother in law,
Speaker 1: former guarded an American facility in Afghanistan, had plotted a
Speaker 1: mass shooting attack directed at large groups of people on
Speaker 1: election Day. A video showed to Water reading to Zada
Speaker 1: and his daughter a text that describes the rewards of
Speaker 1: martyr receives in the afterlife. Politicians and media have claimed
Speaker 1: that Afghan guards and soldiers, like individuals, were heroes and
Speaker 1: allies who protected our soldiers. In reality, they were insider threats.
Speaker 1: The claims that they can go back home to Afghanistan
Speaker 1: are a lie because they do it anyway, or they
Speaker 1: can't go back home, I should say, despite demanding humanitarian
Speaker 1: parole in this country, TOWEDI bought a one way ticket
Speaker 1: for his wife and daughter to go back to Afghanistan
Speaker 1: before he planned the attack. After he serves his terms,
Speaker 1: OTAs set to be deported back to Afghanistan. Considering the
Speaker 1: two men were allied with isis the only threat they
Speaker 1: faced from the Taliban as being excessively good Musslims, not
Speaker 1: bad secular ones. And these aren't the only Afghan attacks
Speaker 1: in the news this year. In twenty twenty five, Afghan
Speaker 1: refugee stabbed their caseworkers in Michigan and in Texas, stabbed
Speaker 1: each other outside the Islamic Center of Lancaster and Amish Country.
Speaker 1: In April, Jamal Walley and Afghan refugee opened fire at
Speaker 1: police in Fairfax County, shooting two of them before they
Speaker 1: managed to take him down. Like the others, Jamal had
Speaker 1: been potentially eligible to receive a special visa because he
Speaker 1: had served in the Afghan military. Three of the Afghans
Speaker 1: we were told were our allies and deserve our protection
Speaker 1: attacked us in just two years. Along the way, they
Speaker 1: killed the soldier in DC, shot two police offers. Officers
Speaker 1: may have killed many more civilians had their Election Day
Speaker 1: terror plot been successful. In twenty twenty four, besides the
Speaker 1: election day plot for Reed, Shakei and Afghan charged with
Speaker 1: taking part in an Iranian plot to assassinate Trump, as
Speaker 1: well as an Iranian dissident and two unnamed Jewish people
Speaker 1: in New York City. This is a guy who had
Speaker 1: previously been deported from the United States after being locked
Speaker 1: up for robbery and managed to return here anyway. And
Speaker 1: this story goes on and on talking about all these
Speaker 1: people who were supposedly vetted and brought into this country
Speaker 1: and then given the seal of approval, saying, hey, we've
Speaker 1: looked into the background of these individuals and they are
Speaker 1: good to go. I mean, they they worked with us
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. It doesn't mean that all the claims like
Speaker 1: that are illegitimate. But there was a I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think what the what the number was of and I
Speaker 1: got to find that it was in another story I had.
Speaker 1: But they were talking about the actual number of US
Speaker 1: troops who were there, and there were far more interpreters
Speaker 1: who were let into the country than we even had
Speaker 1: soldiers stationed in Afghanistan. So these policies, why they may
Speaker 1: seem humane on their face, are really just a wow
Speaker 1: for individuals to come into this country who mean us harm.
Speaker 1: And we are seeing the fruits of that right now.
Speaker 1: And so when you have the administration talking about taking
Speaker 1: away protective status for a lot of Somalis in Minnesota,
Speaker 1: the Trump administration has taken away protective status for over
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty thousand Haitians and once to get
Speaker 1: them out of the country. To my way of thinking,
Speaker 1: these are prudent steps. These are things that need to
Speaker 1: be done to safeguard our country, not because we're afraid
Speaker 1: of certain individuals from different countries, but because we need
Speaker 1: to learn our lesson that there are far too many
Speaker 1: individuals out there who mean us harm and innocent civilians
Speaker 1: innocent And I am not calling the National Guard member civilians,
Speaker 1: but they're National Guard members. They were totally instated, they
Speaker 1: weren't harming anyone. And these are the people who pay
Speaker 1: the price for these sorts of policies. Five three, seven, four,
Speaker 1: eight hundred. The Big One, Dan Carroll and Freddie and Rocky.
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and get a check on traffic and weather.
Speaker 1: On seven hundred WLW, Dan Carrol, Freddie and Rocky talking
Speaker 1: about how long do you hold on to your cell phone,
Speaker 1: your your iPad, stuff like that. Experts claim that there
Speaker 1: is loss productivity and inefficient inefficiency. These are the unintended
Speaker 1: consequences of people clinging to their aging technology. Cassandra Comings,
Speaker 1: CEO of New Jersey based electronic design company H Thomas Instrumentation,
Speaker 1: explains older devices were engineered when internet speeds were much slower,
Speaker 1: and they often struggle to keep up with today's faster
Speaker 1: internet speeds. Well, I don't know about that. If I
Speaker 1: have a device and it's working, and I think to myself,
Speaker 1: why right, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's
Speaker 1: a I know it's an old saying, but I think
Speaker 1: it's a good saying. And if I got something that works,
Speaker 1: I want to hang on to it as long as
Speaker 1: I possibly can. Let's go to Tom in uh No,
Speaker 1: I don't know where Tom is, but we got Linda
Speaker 1: and Williamsburg. But Tom, you're up first, seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: How's it going all right?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 1: How you doing all right once you got uh, yeah.
Speaker 5: What I've heard.
Speaker 6: I got an.
Speaker 5: iPhone eight, which your iPhones that's pretty old. And for
Speaker 5: what I use a phone for, which is very limited.
Speaker 5: I don't watch a movie on it, make phone calls,
Speaker 5: do it to.
Speaker 1: Your texts, make make phone calls, get phone calls, and
Speaker 1: maybe a text message now and then maybe check your email.
Speaker 1: Stuff like that exactly, and I delete.
Speaker 2: I don't even look at him.
Speaker 5: I just select all and delete all of It's all
Speaker 5: mostly BS.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this, as you're looking at
Speaker 1: your as you're looking at your email over the last
Speaker 1: I don't know, three or four days, how many emails
Speaker 1: have you gotten about Black Friday sail, this Black Friday sail,
Speaker 1: that special.
Speaker 6: Savings, all that kind of it's bumped up. I get
Speaker 6: enough anyway. In fact, I got two emails.
Speaker 5: One is just a wow, shall we say.
Speaker 2: A BS email?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 6: Even Then on the other one, you know, there may
Speaker 6: be something in there.
Speaker 2: I might want to look at it, but over.
Speaker 6: All a nine nine percent of the.
Speaker 5: Time I just select all on both of them. And yeah,
Speaker 5: so obviously they got on information on me. If they
Speaker 5: really want to talk to me, they can call me
Speaker 5: here and stop it to the out knock on the door,
Speaker 5: and I know that's not going to happen.
Speaker 1: Tom, Let me ask you. Let me let me ask
Speaker 1: you a question. You said, you sound like you might
Speaker 1: be my age, maybe a little bit younger.
Speaker 6: I'm seventy.
Speaker 1: Oh you're seventy six, all right, Well then you might be.
Speaker 2: Actually I'm older and everything.
Speaker 1: I'm older and everything you might. So when when you
Speaker 1: were a kid, when you were a kid, did you
Speaker 1: ever have or did you ever have a buddy who
Speaker 1: had rock Eam sockem Robots? Do you remember that one?
Speaker 3: Yah?
Speaker 2: The greatest. I either played it or had one.
Speaker 5: I probably I probably just played it with a buddy,
Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, I remember.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: The man, the man who created the man who who
Speaker 1: created Rockham Sock and Robots has passed away. Bert Myers
Speaker 1: was his name from the Hill from Hinsdale, Illinois. He
Speaker 1: was ninety what was he ninety ninety nine years old?
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking about that, you know, one of the
Speaker 1: greatest toys that kids who did not experience rock Em
Speaker 1: Sock and robots. And he also created light Bright, So
Speaker 1: kids who did not experience that, I think are missing
Speaker 1: out on something. And now of course you got these
Speaker 1: toys with the with the AI and everything's electronic and
Speaker 1: wiz bang this and when. But to my way of thinking,
Speaker 1: rockham Sock and robots and one of the greatest toys
Speaker 1: of all time.
Speaker 6: I'm ready, brother, right, but that's too violent now, you know,
Speaker 6: just like just like Bugs.
Speaker 5: Bunny cartoons and wild E Coyote, way way too violent.
Speaker 6: I think if you lived.
Speaker 5: Your life off of Big Bugs Bunny at wild E
Speaker 5: Coyote and the rest of them characters, something else was
Speaker 5: going to get you.
Speaker 1: But you see, you, You and I watched those cartoons
Speaker 1: when we were younger, and we never tried to shoot
Speaker 1: a rocket at anyone. We never tried to drop a
Speaker 1: boulder on on an innocent animal and things like that.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I don't, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: make connection.
Speaker 5: Right, And unlike wild E Coyote, I never bought anything
Speaker 5: from acting.
Speaker 1: Everything that is great stuff.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the phone call.
Speaker 4: Don't don't leave me.
Speaker 5: I want to tell you what yourself.
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, we got to get to Linda and Williamsburg.
Speaker 6: Go ahead, Okay.
Speaker 5: What what makes sense to me is when your phone
Speaker 5: will not accept updates anymore.
Speaker 6: Uh, it's time to get a new phone.
Speaker 1: That's that. That might be a good rule of thumb
Speaker 1: right there, Tom.
Speaker 6: That's what I'm waiting on. I ain't doing nothing.
Speaker 1: That's it. Keep it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, Tom.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the phone, all right, Tom, Tom, thank you
Speaker 1: very much. Sounds like he's driving out there and great
Speaker 1: stuff from him. Let's go to Williamsburg and say hey
Speaker 1: to Linda. Linda seven hundred WLW go.
Speaker 5: Yan Hell are you?
Speaker 1: I'm good Linda? Thanks for calling in. I hope you're
Speaker 1: having a great day. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: I sure did well. I was just one to tell
Speaker 2: you I have an iPhone seven and if it ain't broke,
Speaker 2: don't fix it.
Speaker 6: Yeah what uh.
Speaker 1: Joe or not Joe, but Sean McMahon, what what a
Speaker 1: generation of iPhones are they up to now? I think
Speaker 1: seventeen now. iPhone seventeen is the latest on. I don't
Speaker 1: keep up. I don't keep up. I have an iPhone.
Speaker 1: And before before I got this iPhone, I had an
Speaker 1: Android and I use that Android for as long as
Speaker 1: I possibly could. And I and I got that. I
Speaker 1: got it because my wife told me to get an
Speaker 1: iPhone so we can do you know, interface and do
Speaker 1: all that kind of whatever you do with iPhone. And
Speaker 1: so I don't even know what generation this iPhone is,
Speaker 1: but it works. It works. I've got the base that
Speaker 1: you know. I can send a call, I can make
Speaker 1: a call, I can get a I can get a
Speaker 1: text message. I'm good. So I'm going to keep using
Speaker 1: this for as long as I can use. I know
Speaker 1: the battery last for a long time, which is pretty good,
Speaker 1: so I'm happy about that. Yeah, my battery is not
Speaker 1: too good, but I.
Speaker 2: Don't really care because I don't really like talking on
Speaker 2: the phone too much. And if somebody can't get a
Speaker 2: hold of me, no, that's too bad.
Speaker 1: Are you using your iPhone to talk to me right now?
Speaker 5: I sure am.
Speaker 1: Well then then that's a good thing.
Speaker 2: That's a good thing. So I don't know if anybody
Speaker 2: can beat the iPhone seven. It's not.
Speaker 5: Anybody's got an older one than that.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you the difference between one of the other.
Speaker 1: And before I before I let you go, Linda, have
Speaker 1: you done any shopping on this Black Friday?
Speaker 2: Now I have I have my own antique store.
Speaker 1: Ah, well, very good. Well, I hope a lot of
Speaker 1: people did people. Hope people did a lot of shopping
Speaker 1: at your store.
Speaker 2: Then, well I had some traffic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very good. All right, Well, Linda and Williamsburg, I
Speaker 1: appreciate the phone call and you have yourself. All right.
Speaker 1: There you go, Linda and Williamsburg. Great stuff there. But
Speaker 1: yeah I saw that with with the creator of the
Speaker 1: Rockham Sock and Robots and light Bright, how much you
Speaker 1: think that guy was worth? Hey, what what a great toy?
Speaker 2: Sew M Man.
Speaker 1: You're probably too young for Rockham Sock and Robots, aren't you.
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: I had someone I was a kid. Did you have him? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I got him when I was like probably,
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe ten or something like that. What
Speaker 1: a great toy though, Oh they were great, What a
Speaker 1: what a fantastic toy. They premiered in nineteen sixty four,
Speaker 1: and then Meyer created light Bright in nineteen sixty seven.
Speaker 1: And I remember the lightewright. I never had one, but
Speaker 1: I had my cousins and neighbors that had them. And
Speaker 1: you go in there and you stick the peg and
Speaker 1: there and the peg lights up, and man, that see that.
Speaker 1: That was high tech. Back in the day. That was cool.
Speaker 1: You put the black piece of paper in there and
Speaker 1: then you create whatever design you want. You put the
Speaker 1: colored peg in the peg lights up. That was That
Speaker 1: was some some some great stuff. But now we've got
Speaker 1: these artificial intelligence toys and I guess they're great. But
Speaker 1: the us P I RG whatever that stands for Education
Speaker 1: Fund has put out a the Trouble and toy Land Report,
Speaker 1: and they have found that four toys that contain AI
Speaker 1: chatbots have some issues. They say, we found these toys.
Speaker 1: Some of these toys will talk in depth about sexually
Speaker 1: explicit topics, will offer advice on where a child can
Speaker 1: find matches or knives, act dismayed when you say you
Speaker 1: have to leave. They have limited parental controls. They also
Speaker 1: look at privacy concerns because these toys can record a
Speaker 1: child's voice and collect other sensitive data. So you've got
Speaker 1: these AI toys out there that I guess are now
Speaker 1: hazardous to kids because they do all these kind of
Speaker 1: creepy things. They talk about this one toy called the
Speaker 1: AI powered Kuma Teddy Bear Ku Mma Kuma Teddy Bear.
Speaker 1: They had to temporarily see sales of the product in
Speaker 1: response to over safety concerns raised by researchers. The Bear's
Speaker 1: AI chatbot was proven to instruct children on how to
Speaker 1: start fires, find knives in their home, how to locate
Speaker 1: prescription drugs. The company claims the Teddy Bear, once again
Speaker 1: for sale, has stronger child protections in place. So you
Speaker 1: go out there, you buy these, and then this is
Speaker 1: like stuff movies are made out. You know, when you
Speaker 1: had rock' socker robots, I guess the most danger you
Speaker 1: face there was maybe pinching a finger you get you know,
Speaker 1: you get it stuck into the the you pop the
Speaker 1: the one robot right on the chin, his head pops
Speaker 1: up and you got to push it back down. Maybe
Speaker 1: you pinch a finger in there. Maybe you get a
Speaker 1: little rough with the toys sometimes maybe yeah, some real
Speaker 1: punches start flying if you get beat too many times.
Speaker 1: But now you've got these AI driven toys that are
Speaker 1: telling kids to do all these all these terrible things.
Speaker 1: So the world is changing. And if you're if you're
Speaker 1: like me, you're a grandparent, you're going to be out
Speaker 1: shopping for toys for your grandchildren. It may not be
Speaker 1: up on all that stuff. I was kind of hoping
Speaker 1: to run some of that stuff by matteries today. But
Speaker 1: John Mattery's you on a Friday is taking some time off,
Speaker 1: so good for him. But I hope he's having a great,
Speaker 1: a great Thanksgiving, and I hope you had a great
