Correct, 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.800 and you're not bouncing your ideas off of her and 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:26.000 entertaining her and giving her jokes. 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.920 And I'm you know, I'm watching TV. It doesn't have 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:33.040 to be the news. It could be freaking let's make 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:36.440 a deal. I'm sitting there going that persons stupid? 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.680 Why that is like all I got to go talk 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.240 to your big friend and uh and leave me alone. 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.160 Look minute, you never believe this. Yeah, this is funny. 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:51.320 Look at this this video I see on my iPad 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:55.520 right now. She goes, you should It's fine, it's fine, honey. 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:55.840 Uh. 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:59.120 I'm going over to my brother's house. You went there 0:00:59.240 --> 0:00:59.720 last night. 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:01.000 I want to know this brother. 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:05.679 But anyways, so rock, let's get down to the business 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:11.880 at hand. Well, same as it ever was here in town. Yeah, yeah, 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.880 I want to get your comments on that, because everybody 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.880 was barking and now people are really barking about the 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.800 same old, same old. It's Mike Brown's put out the 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.600 same letter the last whatever, how many every years in 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:26.080 a row. 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:28.640 Yeah, and that's a frustrating part. 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:30.160 You and I are going to talk about the Bengals 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.920 here for the next you know whatever, twelve fifteen minutes, 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.560 and then later in the show, and we're gonna rant, 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:37.560 and we're gonna rave, and we're gonna, you know, talk 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:39.520 about all the problems. We're gonna lay it all out 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.280 and people are gonna call in and agree and maybe disagree, 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.720 but you and I and everybody knows nothing is going 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.080 to change no matter what we do. And that's the 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.000 same part. I guess, you know, you're a little bit 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:56.280 you know, I guess hopeful because I mean, yesterday was 0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:00.000 actually a good thing because they lost and I would 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.600 say embarrassing fashion a game that in some ways they 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.480 totally dominated but still wanted to lose in twenty to. 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.000 Eighteen And how many times have you seen it? 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.160 And I thought about this as I was I was 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.120 actually listening to the game. I came back and watched it, 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.520 watched it back, and it's like, how many times do 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.440 the Bengals do this? They have a season that's a 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.360 very disappointing one, but then toward the end of the season. 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:21.760 You know, they rattle off like. 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.120 Two straight, three straight, And that's exactly what was happening 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.600 right the Bengals. After I count of there was two 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.840 stretches of four straight losses the Bengals had. At one 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.320 point they'd lost eight of nine games. You know, but 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.960 they play the Dolphins, they blow them out, blow their 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.320 doors off forty five twenty one. They then drill Arizona 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.359 the next week thirty seven fourteen. So you can start 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:48.639 to get the feeling, and people talk and even convince yourself, well, 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:50.880 you know, hey, man, this team actually isn't that bad. 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.080 Well then yesterday happened, and it reminded us right that 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.280 this is a team that has a long way to go. 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.000 So in that regard, I think it's a blessing that, 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.600 you know, as much I want the hometown team to win, 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.720 it's a blessing that they did get blown out and 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.520 embarrassing fashion, because it doesn't let us go in the 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.800 off season where the front office can make the case 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:12.880 as they've done many times that you've. 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.120 You've heard it, you've seen it. 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.200 Hey, you know, we're real close. See we finished strong 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.000 and we're not that far away. A couple of things. 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.280 We had a piece and you know, the ball bounces 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:24.800 away a couple of times, and we can win the 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.320 super Bowl, and you know, and people, you know, when 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.640 you feel when you finish on a high note, you 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.440 you know things are positive and you can convince yourself that, well, 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:36.160 yesterday kind of refocused everybody on. This is a team 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.720 that is actually not close. It's really damn far away. 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.600 And hopefully things will change. But like I said, that's 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.840 the frustrating part is you wonder if they do. I mean, 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.280 there's not gonna be any changes to the front office, 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.360 likely no changes to the coaching staff. 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:52.320 So here we are. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:56.080 Well the what gets me And if you haven't seen it, 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.640 it's it's all over the place online. The Mike Brown 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:03.760 statement is like I said, the same statement. I'm sure 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.560 it's just cutting paste from last year put in a 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:10.120 new year. And it's like we're this close, Duke Tobin 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.600 and uh, the whole coaching staff know what they're doing. 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.919 They're building a fine you a core da da da 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:21.440 da da da da and the results speak. This is 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.000 the results driven business man. 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:23.599 Look at it. 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:29.560 Yeah, and and and it's just you get the feeling that. 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.080 They're just laughing at us as a fan. Don't don't 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:31.560 you feel that? 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.400 Don't you get the feeling that they're sitting there like, 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.920 ha is okay whatever they're gonna sut. There may be 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:41.039 a handful of people that cancel their PSLs, but guess what, 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.640 there's a waiting list, so they'll jump back on and 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:44.720 we won't miss a beat. 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:46.440 You know, we don't have you know, we don't have 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:47.760 to do wholesale changes. 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.560 Meanwhile, I look at my former franchise, The Colts, you know, 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.920 say that the daughter comes out and talks about, hey, 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.200 we're gonna hold people accountable, you know, and she's gonna 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.800 be accountable to the media and answering to questions, and that 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:02.719 sort of thing doesn't happen. Like you said, It's almost 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.880 like a cut and paste, uh, from you know, last 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:09.320 year to the year before, maybe eight years ago. And Okay, yeah, 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:13.479 we're gonna we're gonna make an effort, but yeah maybe 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:14.960 if we feel like it. 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:16.760 But we're we feel like we're pretty close. We don't 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:18.320 need to rock the boat. We don't need to do 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:18.800 this in that. 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:23.560 And I guess is, you know, in a larger sense, 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.599 when you think about you know, the economy and things 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:26.800 like that. 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:27.920 Well, how things are gonna change? 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.000 Well, things change when people all of a sudden, don't 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.280 you know, stop buying things right when you say, hey, 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.359 I'm not buying beef right, So then that that helps 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.040 maybe drive the price down. Things aren't really gonna change 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.960 here until wholesale people say, you know what, just not 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.520 I'm not gonna buy this anymore. I'm not gonna sign 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.040 up for first season tickets, I'm not gonna go to games, 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.640 And then maybe things will change. But then in your 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:53.080 head you go, will they because there's such a long 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.960 period of history of the same thing over and over 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.279 and over, and so what what what hope does that 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.200 give you that all of a sudden, the light's gonna 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.080 click on and things are gonna be done differently, and 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.560 things are gonna be done in a way that models 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.880 most successful businesses, where they look at their deficiencies they 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.680 put the full force of everything behind them to address 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:12.839 them and move forward. 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:14.160 You don't get that feeling, so. 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.840 Let me let me ask you you having played the game, 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:18.960 I was this close, you know, I almost got the 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.279 leak there, But don't even worry about it. You know, 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:25.000 dreams don't don't come true sometime. But listen, I see 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.600 this stuff on social media and you do too. Everybody 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:32.840 does Zach Taylor, walord fire Zach Taylor, you having played? 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:34.560 Is he up to this task? 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:39.880 Because I've seen multiple writers say he obviously folds under 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.839 the under the spotlight of a big job. And this 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.719 is a big job because he's got really big talent. 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:47.960 It is. 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.880 I just don't I don't place the brunt of you know, 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:54.680 my you know. 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:54.839 My fervor towards towards him. 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.000 I I just think it's it's the it's the top down, 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.479 and those are things that are never gonna change. I mean, now, 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.960 did Zach Taylor make some decisions and do some things 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:05.960 that are not at an eight. 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:07.000 Level elite level. 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.920 Absolutely, But you know, given what the circumstances in which 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.440 he has to operate, you just wonder how how differently 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:16.920 it would be if he was, you know, better supported 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.480 by by management and better supported from the front office. 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.080 So yeah, there's I mean, certainly a season like this 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.720 where you win, you know, you go six and eleven, 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.440 and as I said earlier, you have multiple stretches where 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.600 you lose a month's worth of games at times, everything 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.080 should be called into question. To me, it's still just 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.280 how things are run from the front office and the 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.520 selection of the players. That that that has been the 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:44.440 constant over head coaches, over Marvin Lewis, over Zach Taylor, 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.559 over everybody you know that that's been before them as well. 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.880 The constant has been the management and it's kind of 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:52.160 been the same story over and over. 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.640 Well, look at what happened in Cleveland with the Kevin Stefanski, 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.920 that poor guy two times and fole coach of the Year. 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:07.880 And because the the ownership again and talk about really 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:15.040 ownership group, that is that poor guy didn't have a 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.920 chance that whole Deshaun Watson think, come on, man, that 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:23.040 was and it had screwed up that franchise for probably 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.120 the better part of tensible years. 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.040 Yeah, but but that that is exactly my point. 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:32.040 It's like, Okay, fire Zach Taylor and bring in name 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.760 a person Nick Saban, I don't care, name the greatest 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.400 coach you could ever think of, and start to really 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:42.640 think about is that going to make things drastically different? 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:43.520 I don't think so. 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.000 And in the same way, Kevin Stefanski knows football, he 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:47.280 never get how to coach football. 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:51.000 But but they're gonna you know, some franchise franchises do that. 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.240 They just keep you know, fire coaches every two years 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.960 and expect things to change when they should be looking 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:56.440 in the mirror. 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.360 And that's the exact same thing the Bangles should be doing. 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.199 Let's let's get a call in and talk to Matt 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.160 right quick. Hey, Matt, what's going on, buddy? 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.240 So I struggled for many, many years as a fan 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:13.280 of the Chicago Blackhawks. I mean, through through twenty years 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.800 of terrible seasons as a fan of the Chicago Blackhawks. Now, 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.800 mind you, it's been thirty plus with the Brown ownership. 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.480 But there was a poll years ago of the worst 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.800 owner in professional sports and the only person who finished 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:30.040 beneath Mike Brown was the guy William Wurtz. They called 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.440 him dollar Bill Wirtz because of how cheap he was, 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.520 and when he finally died, they boot him at his 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:41.040 memorial service. And that the Blackhawks won a Stanley Cup 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:41.760 two years later. 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:47.280 Yeah, I think that there's certainly a parallel there. 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:51.200 And thanks Matt, boy. Yeah, that's you see that guy 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:57.200 we're talking about Stefanski getting fired for they you know, 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:58.800 trying to do the best of a job. He could 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:03.920 under the circumstances. And but Mike Brown, God bless his heart. Yeah, 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.680 is he kind of let me ask you this, is 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.640 he kind of admitting, yeah, I'm the problem here. Don't 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:13.679 blame that guy. Has has Lem in Cleveland saying well, 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.000 I've given them all the opportunities of the world, all 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.040 the tools, but Stefanski screwed it all up. Is Mike 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.719 Brown just saying, Hey, I'm the problem. Don't blame that guy. 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:23.480 He stays on. 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:24.640 Yeah. 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.240 I think I don't know if he believes that or not, 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:31.600 but he certainly is not not changing. When things are 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.079 are not done at a high level, you change. The 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:36.840 thing I always keep bringing up how many times did 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.160 I say it on Bengals Monday is when we talk 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.079 about them after the game, Like what what most companies 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.720 do is when they feel like, you know, they're in 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.160 second place and their their their profits are are dwindling, 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.640 and their their shareholder and all that sort, they look 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.040 at what what are the top three companies in our 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.480 field doing? How are they doing things? What what's you know, 0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:00.800 what's Google doing, What's Apple doing? What's Microsoft? How are 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:02.840 they running their day to day operations in the same 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.640 vein the Bengals should look to the Rams and the 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:10.640 Eagles and you know, the Broncos and these these franchises 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.680 that that have a history a track record of you know, yeah, 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.080 there's some down year. It's a competitive business. You're gonna 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.800 have some down years. But but but over a vast 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.600 stretch of time, seemed to be doing things the right way. 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.000 Well look at that, Well what are they doing. Well, God, well, 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.480 if they have you know, two or three times the 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.880 amount of scouting staff we do, and they're pretty good 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.120 at picking, well, maybe we should do that, Maybe we 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.160 should change it shouldn't just be well, that's how my 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.319 old man did it, So that's how we're going to 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.360 continue to And I just feel like that's. 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:39.079 What it goes down to it. 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.840 You know, when I was young and in the eighties 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.480 and the seventies, this is how we did it, and 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:45.080 this is the amount of people we had on staff, 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:46.719 and this is what we spent on this and that, 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.400 and you know, and we've had some good years where 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:49.920 that worked. 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.120 But it's a consistency thing. 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.360 It's not where the Bengals haven't been able to consistently 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.560 stay at the top or knock on the door of 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.760 getting in the big game and being a perennial just 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.160 our house. They haven't done it, and you just wonder 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:04.400 do they do? 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.280 They lack the desire to want to change things. And 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:08.440 I think the answer is they don't. 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.600 Well look it as much as I it pains me 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:16.679 to say, the Steelers, how long has that been a 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.560 very successful operation? Have they won it all? 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:21.040 No? 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:23.520 But have they won how many rings? 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:23.960 Six? 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.760 But always in it, always in the mix. Always it 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.920 seems like one of the most premier again painful for 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.319 me to say, one of the most premier clubs in 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:36.200 the NFL. 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:36.840 Correct. 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.360 Now, those people know what they're doing, man, And I 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.880 don't know what the difference is. How you get to 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.319 your point? How can you not look at that and go, 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.120 let's copy some of that? 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.679 At least let's do a deep dive here. I want to. 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.000 I want to let's take all you ten people sit 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.280 around this table, just you dive into that area. 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.160 You dive into that area and figure out where what 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:00.400 are the Steelers doing, What are the Eagles doing what? 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.040 And then and then line that up with what we're 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:06.600 doing and how we're doing it, and let's determine what 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.800 should we change or maybe we don't need to change this, 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.040 but look at this area here where they're doing this. 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:15.640 Maybe something to do it differently, and it's it just 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.600 doesn't seem to be Uh have the desire for that 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:17.960 to happen. 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.400 Let's get another call in Rock. We got Ben in Miamisburg. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:22.360 Hey Ben, what's going on? 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:22.720 Buddy? 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.840 Hey hey, gentlemen, Just to quit. A couple of things 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.880 I want to say. First, love the show, long time listener, 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.640 first time caller, I can make it quit. Couple of points, Rocky, 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:36.400 you you first said it. Consistency. There's no consistency with 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.760 this team in and out each week. I've been a 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:40.880 fan of the Bengals since I've been in the third grade. 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.719 There's no consistency whatsoever. I don't know what it is, 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.480 but it's from the top down, That's what I've seen. 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.520 Because when you go out and beat Miami the week 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.280 before and you beat the tar off of them, and 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.000 then they can't do anything this week against Cleveland, there's 0:13:55.040 --> 0:14:00.400 an issue. Then when it comes to Duke and Zach, 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:02.520 we finally got a playoff win. 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.400 Whoope do twenty. 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:09.280 Twenty three thirty years Unfortunately, in my opinion, I don't 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.800 see Zach Taylor ever being replaced because we know we 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:17.000 had Marvin for what sixteen fifteen years and absolutely no 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.000 playoff wins because in my opinion, he was a yes 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.600 man because anything we can do pretty much, I think 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.720 Mike Brown will say I'm gonna tell you how to 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:26.440 jump at. 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:27.880 They're gonna say how high? 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.800 And unfortunately, that's how it seems that this franchise is 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:32.320 going and is always. 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:32.360 Going to go. 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.320 And I pray to the man upstairs. 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:39.560 That we do not have an Andrew Lux situation with 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:41.800 Joe Burrow saying I'm tired of getting beat up on 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:44.840 and just not having fun like he's been saying. 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:45.120 Now. 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.600 Of course he's got a couple hundred million dollar reasons 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.760 to say that he can still say, but that's a 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.840 that's just come from somebody that's just tired of it. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:54.560 Now. 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:56.280 No, you makee a couple of good points. 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.920 Number One that okay, yes and whatever. I just think 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.480 it's made clear whoever the head coaches doesn't matter that Hey, okay, 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:06.520 we you know we want you to be the coach 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.360 and take this job. But here's how it's gonna go. Okay, 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:13.280 there's no question about that. And the first good point 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:17.080 made was. You talk about consistency, and consistency doesn't mean 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.840 doing the same thing even you know, even if if 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.000 it may have worked, you don't go, well, god, well 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:24.760 we did the same thing we did and you know, 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:26.760 and whatever it was two thousand and one we went 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:30.240 to the super Bowl. So we'll just no, things evolve, 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.400 things change, The league changes. You know, what works on 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.920 offense changes, what works on defense changes. How to build 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.920 your roster that changes, how to manage the salary cap 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:41.480 that change. 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:42.800 It evolves. 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.760 It's not like it's drastically different, but there's a flow 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:47.520 to it, and you got to stay ahead of that flow. 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:48.360 And they just don't. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:53.080 Consistency is not as consistency can in your head sometimes 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.400 being well, that just means doing the same thing. No, 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.720 it means it means keeping a standard a certain level. 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.160 But if you have to adjust things as they evolve, 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.920 you do that to maintain consistent excellence. 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:06.400 And I just don't think that's happening. 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:10.520 Well, Rock, we consistently bring you the traffic and weather together. 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.280 Look at that. Look at that early in the year. 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.000 You're already on Rick. 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:16.720 What's going on? 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:19.200 You're all over written. 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:24.840 You didn't miss a beat from the UC Health Traffic Center. 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.000 UC Health's Weight Loss Center offers a surgical and medical 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:31.840 obesity caaren expertise called five one, three, nine, nine, twenty two, 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:35.000 sixty three and seventy one near writing is an accident 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.480 west but police getting that cleaned up.

This is interesting because I think Willie 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.040 kicked off his show in nineteen twenty talking about this 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.080 because this was a big deal and he was doing 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:10.560 the night Show, I believe at that point. But big news, 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.520 big news in the sports world. New York Yankees announced 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:18.360 the purchase of Babe Ruth. The New York Yankees major 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:21.440 League club announces it's purchase of the heavy, heavy hitting 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:25.720 outfielder George who Hermann Babe Ruth from the Boston Red 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.480 Sox for the sum of one hundred and twenty five 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.720 thousand dollars, which for then was you know, it was 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:36.160 probably pretty big. So in all, Ruth had played six 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.879 seasons with the Red Sox, leading them to three World 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.680 Series victories, and of course. 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:42.560 You know he was on the mound. 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:45.359 Pitched a total of twenty nine and two thirds scoreless 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:49.680 World Series innings, sitting new league record that would staying 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:50.880 for forty three years. 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:54.120 His nineteen nineteen season, he broke. 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.359 The home run record with twenty nine, led the American 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:59.200 League with one hundred and fourteen RBIs hunting three runs. 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:02.800 Guy was incredible, I mean, the most incredible player of 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:06.760 his day. Despite Ruth's performance, the Red Sox stumbled to 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.880 a sixty six and seventy one record in nineteen nineteen, 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:11.359 finishing in sixth place. 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:15.120 New ownership then ed took. 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:18.680 Over the club, and around this time again of year 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:23.359 in nineteen twenty, the owner Harry Frazee Rasie for Zee whatever, 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:26.040 made the decision to sell Ruth the Yankees for one 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:28.480 hundred and twenty five thousand in cash and some three 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:32.000 hundred thousand dollars in loans. After the sale, the Yankees 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:35.000 took over Ruth's contract, which called for a salary of 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:36.760 ten thousand dollars per year. 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:38.160 Aware of his. 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:42.879 Value, Ruth demanded a salary raise, which the Yankees of 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:44.840 course agreed to, and that turned off to be a 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:48.600 very great investment deal paid off.

And I don't follow, 0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:35.520 you know. I try to follow the Reds as much 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:37.720 as I can of their hometown team. Of course root 0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:41.000 for him, but I don't follow all of baseball the 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:42.800 way I used to when I was a kid. I 0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:46.359 used to know all about everybody, right, but I so 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:51.119 I feel like I missed the how dominant and amazing 0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:54.439 Otani is because I'm not living and breathing you know, 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.160 Dodgers highlights or you know that that kind of thing 0:21:57.280 --> 0:21:59.080 all you but you hear these things, they're like, God, 0:21:59.080 --> 0:21:59.920 this guy's incredible. 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:02.680 He's he's doing these things in. 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:05.879 Today's baseball with these players and all the technology and 0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:09.959 the you know, the nutrition and all the modern things 0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:10.560 that are going on. 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:12.399 This guy is still able to go out and do it. 0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:14.000 I mean, he's he's incredible. 0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:19.119 Well see to that point. Not to sound like an 0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:22.400 old guy, but I am. That's why I missed big 0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:25.520 Back when I was a kid, we had a newspaper 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:29.800 every single day at my house. Yeah, and I remember 0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:32.119 I would sit down, I made a point of it. 0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:33.720 I don't know if it did it every day, but 0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:37.119 three or four days a week, I went through box 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:40.560 scores and just checked, you know, you know, you had 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:42.520 your favorite players from all over the league and stuff. 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:45.159 Of course I was a Giant Reds guy, but you know, 0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:47.639 and and you knew their status, you knew what they 0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:50.960 were doing. And then that's how you because well, for 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:54.560 one thing, if you didn't watch, there was only a 0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:59.600 baseball game a week, right, so to see other teams play, 0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:04.200 and if you were lucky, there were whatever thirty five 0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:08.560 forty Reds games on TV a year. But yeah, so 0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:12.000 if you wanted to follow people like that, you really 0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:14.720 had to pay attention. And you know, look at the paper. 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:16.800 I'm not going to go online and go, oh, what 0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:21.040 hell Tony did last night? Because if you did the 0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:23.119 reason you're doing it is because you had money on 0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:26.720 him to strike out in the third inning or something. 0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:27.200 Yeah. 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:30.199 Yeah, and sadly, I think that's driving a lot of 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:34.119 the fandom, if you want to call it that in baseball. 0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:36.680 But yeah, it's uh, it's amazing. 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:39.920 I remember doing the same thing checking box score because 0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:42.120 I was a huge Bo Jackson fan. 0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:44.720 All right, this is you know, eighty seven eighty eight. 0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:46.720 Of course there's no internet, and yeah you get to 0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:48.720 get the inquiry and rushing the bat. 0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:49.439 What did bow do? 0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:49.639 They? 0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:52.240 Oh my god, he hit another home run and you know, 0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:54.679 and then you know Sports Center was coming out a 0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:56.960 little bit, but you know, we didn't have cable and 0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:59.479 all that stuff, so yeah, you got some highlights.

If you recall I'd talked to December 0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:26.040 first about his birthday, he turned sixteen years old. Just 0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:29.600 absolutely miracle dog right to be a Golden Retriever and 0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:32.520 lived at sixteen. Well we knew at the time he 0:25:32.600 --> 0:25:36.679 was he was fading, but in a way he had 0:25:36.680 --> 0:25:38.960 been fading for like three years, you know what I mean. 0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:42.720 It's like I've said it before, but I look back 0:25:42.760 --> 0:25:45.199 through my phone and you go back to like like 0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:48.959 twenty you know, twenty three, and you're like, and I 0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:50.720 have a picture of him on his birthday, and I 0:25:50.720 --> 0:25:53.320 remember always thinking like, well, this may be the last picture, 0:25:53.400 --> 0:25:55.439 so you know, let me get it for him on 0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:57.679 his birthday. And he'd live another year. I mean, do 0:25:57.720 --> 0:25:59.680 the same thing, live another year. And it so was 0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:03.800 increase credible how long you lived and how aware he 0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:06.920 was for a while, I'd say in the last honestly year, 0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:11.120 like he was not very you question, like his eyes. 0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:12.679 You looked into his eyes and there was like a 0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:15.000 hollowness to them, which was which was sad. But he 0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:18.159 was aware, and you know, and he's moved around. But 0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:18.920 it got tough. 0:26:18.960 --> 0:26:19.120 Man. 0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:23.720 Anybody just had a dog that's passed away from old age, knows, 0:26:23.760 --> 0:26:25.719 you know, when they you know, they can't walk and 0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:27.840 they have accidents and you got to pick them up 0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:30.000 and help him out. And I was doing a lot 0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:32.600 of that for the last certainly the last six months, 0:26:32.600 --> 0:26:33.800 if not a year, I mean. 0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:34.359 A lot of it. 0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:37.399 He's a good dog be doing that too, Yeah, he was. 0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:39.800 But you know, I always tried to you know, keep 0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:42.879 him moving. I think you in life, whether it's a 0:26:42.920 --> 0:26:44.840 you're a dog or you're a human, if you don't 0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:46.359 use it, you lose it. 0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:48.280 So I try to in the morning. 0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:51.040 I kind of got my routine where I dropped drop 0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:52.840 my son off at school, and then I go and 0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:54.760 try to take the dogs for a walk, and I 0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:57.040 listen to all the you know, college football podcasts and 0:26:57.080 --> 0:26:58.520 all the things I got to do to get ready 0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:00.840 for the day. And so I think that kind of 0:27:00.840 --> 0:27:05.960 helped him keep going. But you know, this year again 0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:07.560 it felt like it was it. 0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:08.360 Was more pending. 0:27:08.600 --> 0:27:11.320 And then I was out of town doing the Liberty 0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:15.560 Bowl whatever day that was, and my wife sent me 0:27:15.560 --> 0:27:17.359 she said, hey, because I just want you to know. 0:27:17.400 --> 0:27:20.280 I tried to give Elvis up a pancake and he 0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:23.280 wouldn't eat it. I'm like, and that's always the sign, 0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:25.639 right when the dogs don't want to eat or drink. 0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:28.760 So then, I mean, yesterday was was hard because I 0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:31.240 had the I had to call the Stag Bowl, which 0:27:31.280 --> 0:27:34.040 was a great game by the way in Canton, Ohio, 0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:36.520 and I and at that point I knew he was going. 0:27:36.600 --> 0:27:39.200 I knew it, and he was. He was laid out 0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:41.840 all the way and I just I wanted him to 0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:43.960 go so I could be there to bury him. I 0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:47.399 wanted to bury my own dog, you know, and for 0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:49.400 a lot of reasons. First of all, my wife and 0:27:49.440 --> 0:27:51.760 my other you know, my kids and my brother in 0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:53.520 law didn't have to deal with it. But you know, 0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:55.560 I kept saying, buddy, it's okay, you can go, like 0:27:55.680 --> 0:27:57.720 you know it, it's fine, so I can. 0:27:57.960 --> 0:27:58.879 I can take care of it. 0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:02.800 But I mean, it got to be like twelve thirty 0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:05.119 one o'clock and I hate to leave. I had to 0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:07.639 answer three and a half four hour drive to Canton, 0:28:07.640 --> 0:28:08.960 and I got a game, I got a call. 0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:11.480 I can't be messing around. So very sad. 0:28:11.560 --> 0:28:13.520 I just had to say, but buddy, cause I knew 0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:16.000 when I got back, you wouldn't he wouldn't be there, 0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:18.840 and you know, and during the halftime of the game, 0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:20.359 my wife's like, look, I don't want to bother you 0:28:20.359 --> 0:28:22.880 with this, but you know, he passed And so. 0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:23.480 That was sad. 0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:27.800 But again, I feel in a way silly because there's 0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:29.240 people going through. 0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:30.720 Much harder losses in life. 0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:33.600 I got a buddy whose mom just passed away, got 0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:36.520 a friend who died, you know, young in his thirties. 0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:39.680 I mean that that's real tragedy. This was not a tragedy. 0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:41.680 I mean, he was sixteen years old and he's a dog. 0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:44.320 So I don't want to. I hope everyone understands what 0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:46.400 I'm saying here, but you know, it's sad when I 0:28:46.440 --> 0:28:49.600 guess for me, especially because you know, through. 0:28:49.440 --> 0:28:50.720 All the changes in my life. 0:28:50.720 --> 0:28:53.360 You know, I retired from the NFL in like January 0:28:53.360 --> 0:28:57.000 of two thousand and ten, and I had had and 0:28:57.040 --> 0:28:59.120 I got Elvis, and that was kind of like, you know, 0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:00.400 and I was like, Okay, well, am I gonna do 0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:01.120 with the rest of my life? 0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:01.720 I don't know. 0:29:01.760 --> 0:29:03.600 And there's lots of hard time trying to figure out 0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:05.080 what that was going to be and find my next 0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:08.880 career and all that. And then through marriage and through 0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:12.960 one kid, then two kids and three kids and ups 0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:17.520 and downs, the one constant was Elvis buddy, and he 0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:19.479 and my buddy, and he was always there for me 0:29:19.520 --> 0:29:23.440 and great. So I'm very appreciative of the time I 0:29:23.480 --> 0:29:26.960 got to spend with him. And again, a one in 0:29:27.000 --> 0:29:29.920 a million dog to live that long, and I mean 0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:31.640 even at the very end, I mean, the guy's the 0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:33.720 kid that got Dog's heart. It must have been the 0:29:34.320 --> 0:29:37.320 strongest thing ever because his body is literally quitting, but 0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:40.560 he just keeps breathing, keeps breathing.

Uh, 0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:50.480 Cincinnati and Detroit? Are they both commensurate with just poor coaching? 0:32:51.280 --> 0:32:51.520 Yeah? 0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:52.880 I don't know, I would. 0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:54.400 I don't know how you feel, but I feel like 0:32:54.480 --> 0:32:56.680 Dan Campbell was one hell of a coach, you know, 0:32:56.760 --> 0:32:59.960 and they were so close last year and you get 0:33:00.120 --> 0:33:04.000 that close and you don't win it, It's hard to 0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:04.520 get back there. 0:33:04.600 --> 0:33:04.719 Man. 0:33:04.720 --> 0:33:07.040 I ask Bengals fans, right, go to the Super Bowl 0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:11.480 and unfortunately lose the Rams and then okay, well we'll 0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:14.160 get back next year. We've got the same pieces coming back. 0:33:14.200 --> 0:33:16.959 And I just know from playing it, it's not that easy. 0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:17.160 You know. 0:33:17.240 --> 0:33:19.280 My rookie year, we went to the AFC title game 0:33:19.320 --> 0:33:22.239 and then the next year made the playoffs. But then 0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:25.560 then the next year I think won you know, five games. 0:33:25.840 --> 0:33:31.760 It's it's hard, especially when there's factors that you're dealing with. 0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:34.240 And that's from an ownership standpoint, and I don't know 0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:36.200 the ins and outs of what the Lions are dealing with. 0:33:36.280 --> 0:33:37.840 I know they got great players. I know they got 0:33:37.840 --> 0:33:40.200 a great coach. I don't know is it there? Is 0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:43.320 it the front office holding them back? You would know 0:33:43.400 --> 0:33:43.960 that more than I. 0:33:44.680 --> 0:33:47.320 Yeah, well that's I think that's the frustration on them. 0:33:47.600 --> 0:33:50.840 People see the level of talent on this the offensive 0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:54.200 side of the ball on this team. Let's face it, 0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:56.880 if you if you had the Bengals offense and the 0:33:56.920 --> 0:33:59.920 Browns defense, you would have one hell of a football team. 0:34:00.280 --> 0:34:02.880 Yes, can we do that? Is that the way we 0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:09.120 can them together. Yeah, you know, just create an all 0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:10.280 star team real quick. 0:34:10.680 --> 0:34:13.799 But no, that's that that that's But but again, with 0:34:13.840 --> 0:34:18.200 all that said, if you mix the Bengals and the Browns, 0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:21.479 but you still had the same leadership from the front 0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:22.840 office standpoint. 0:34:22.360 --> 0:34:23.520 Would anything change? 0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:26.440 I think that's the point we're making is in a 0:34:26.520 --> 0:34:29.680 lot of regards that you know, yeah, good players will 0:34:29.719 --> 0:34:31.960 come and some will go, and some will be around. 0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:36.719 But consistently, you know, nail in drafts and now in 0:34:36.760 --> 0:34:40.399 free agency year in and year out, everybody's gonna get 0:34:40.560 --> 0:34:43.000 get lucky and or not even lucky, but but now 0:34:43.120 --> 0:34:45.520 a pick and it's gonna work out great. And but 0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:48.640 it's the ones that do it consistently over the years, 0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:51.560 those are the franchises that that you seem to seem 0:34:51.560 --> 0:34:52.480 to eventually win it all. 0:34:52.800 --> 0:34:55.480 Coming up next, we're gonna be talking this whole Maduro 0:34:55.600 --> 0:34:59.600 thing going on, uh in custody and going to stand 0:34:59.680 --> 0:35:02.560 try and to sort all that out for us and 0:35:02.600 --> 0:35:06.839 see what the what could all happen with this thing? 0:35:07.280 --> 0:35:09.759 He goes, I don't understand it.

But now that the legal side 0:42:07.080 --> 0:42:11.400 takes over about you know, what's going to happen, you know, legally, 0:42:11.480 --> 0:42:12.680 what's the what's things? 0:42:12.760 --> 0:42:13.920 How they move forward? 0:42:14.000 --> 0:42:17.759 Here John Maduro and his wife and custody in New 0:42:17.840 --> 0:42:22.520 York City, obviously, and here to discuss the legal ramifications 0:42:22.680 --> 0:42:26.879 and all the possibilities. Is our legal expert always love 0:42:26.920 --> 0:42:31.000 talking to our good friend, Jeremy Rosenthal. Jeremy, Happy New Year, 0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:31.959 Welcome back to the show. 0:42:33.000 --> 0:42:35.919 Happy New Year. How are you guys, great, We're good, 0:42:36.200 --> 0:42:36.680 We're good. 0:42:36.760 --> 0:42:39.400 All right, Jeremy, break this down for us. I'm is 0:42:39.440 --> 0:42:41.719 it an open and shutcase? Is it going to be 0:42:41.760 --> 0:42:44.560 a long involved case? What are we seeing here? 0:42:46.400 --> 0:42:50.239 Yes to both? Really? Yeah. 0:42:50.239 --> 0:42:55.000 Look so on the legal side of this, you're you're 0:42:55.040 --> 0:43:00.680 basically treating this like it's El chapo. Okay uh, And 0:43:00.960 --> 0:43:05.080 and that that's pretty complicated. Your your allegation here is 0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:10.760 that functionally the sovereign state of Venezuela is a big 0:43:11.160 --> 0:43:16.120 drug cartel. That that's essentially what the allegation is, and 0:43:16.160 --> 0:43:20.080 that Maduro was in league with the cartels, that he 0:43:20.320 --> 0:43:25.440 was actively engaging in this drug trade and distribution, that 0:43:25.480 --> 0:43:28.719 he was taking money from it, and that he was 0:43:29.520 --> 0:43:33.960 using that, you know, to to buy weaponry and and 0:43:34.000 --> 0:43:37.200 all that other stuff, and and and those are those 0:43:37.239 --> 0:43:39.080 take more than a couple of days in court to 0:43:39.160 --> 0:43:41.839 sort of prove. And not only that, you've got to 0:43:42.000 --> 0:43:44.719 compile all of this evidence, you've got to give it 0:43:44.760 --> 0:43:49.320 to the defense. It's not an open and shut or 0:43:49.360 --> 0:43:52.000 it's not going to be quick from that regard. The 0:43:52.360 --> 0:43:57.600 sentence here potentially is he's looking at a minimum mandatory 0:43:57.640 --> 0:44:01.759 minimum of twenty years or in as high as a 0:44:01.800 --> 0:44:06.080 life sentence. And if you're Maduro and or his lawyers, 0:44:06.280 --> 0:44:08.520 you're just not going to agree to that, right. Uh, 0:44:08.719 --> 0:44:11.200 you know you're gonna say, Okay, well we're gonna we're 0:44:11.239 --> 0:44:14.800 gonna fight you on it. So yeah, if you're looking 0:44:14.800 --> 0:44:17.080 at going toe to toe the distance of this thing, 0:44:17.080 --> 0:44:18.240 it's gonna take a minute. 0:44:19.480 --> 0:44:21.839 So it does seem similar to you KNOWL chop Bone 0:44:21.880 --> 0:44:26.160 even even Noriega, I I would think, and it's it's 0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:29.520 and it's yes, it's not. So it's yeah, the drugs 0:44:29.600 --> 0:44:33.120 coming in that you know, the America believes are are 0:44:33.200 --> 0:44:36.040 killing our people. But also, as you mentioned, it's the 0:44:36.080 --> 0:44:39.520 sale of drugs to purchase weapons to do terrorist type things. 0:44:39.640 --> 0:44:42.240 I feel like that's kind of the more the bigger 0:44:42.320 --> 0:44:45.239 charging this. So I'll ask you whether it is uh 0:44:45.320 --> 0:44:48.200 Noriega back in the nineties or El Chapo. Is there 0:44:48.560 --> 0:44:51.040 is it similar to is there precedent with how those 0:44:51.120 --> 0:44:53.520 cases went that you think could go make this case 0:44:53.560 --> 0:44:54.239 go the same way? 0:44:55.760 --> 0:44:57.520 Right? And and so a couple of things. 0:44:57.680 --> 0:45:01.279 For a lot of I think everybody the bigger questions 0:45:01.719 --> 0:45:04.360 about sort of how this came about. And you know, 0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:08.319 we obviously went, We obviously paid this man a visit 0:45:08.440 --> 0:45:13.560 at his house and made a house call, which was 0:45:13.600 --> 0:45:17.200 not in the United States, so you know, there's. 0:45:16.960 --> 0:45:17.759 Some issues there. 0:45:17.800 --> 0:45:22.680 So legally speaking, our Congress passed the law that said 0:45:22.880 --> 0:45:25.960 we can go get you, okay, if you're in another country, 0:45:26.040 --> 0:45:29.560 it is not against American law to go into another 0:45:29.680 --> 0:45:31.160 sovereign country and to get you. 0:45:31.239 --> 0:45:34.400 Now there maybe there's an international law issues. 0:45:34.400 --> 0:45:38.520 Maybe there's not un licensed in Texas, not Caracas, Venezuela. 0:45:38.960 --> 0:45:43.440 So I couldn't tell you whether or not it violates 0:45:43.480 --> 0:45:46.200 international law. I think there's a lot of arguments that 0:45:46.280 --> 0:45:50.719 it does. You know, we wouldn't really love it if 0:45:52.280 --> 0:45:57.160 Kim Jong un went and kidnapped or arrested the president 0:45:57.200 --> 0:45:59.360 of South Korea. We'd probably have a problem with that. 0:45:59.400 --> 0:46:03.480 And they say, well, but it's legal here in North Korea. Okay, fine, 0:46:03.520 --> 0:46:09.239 I mean in America, the doctrine is called the Kerr 0:46:09.320 --> 0:46:13.840 Frisbee doctrine. This will be on your final Okay, the. 0:46:15.719 --> 0:46:17.320 Kerr Frisbee one R. 0:46:18.600 --> 0:46:20.600 And those are cases that go all the way back 0:46:20.640 --> 0:46:23.919 to the eighteen hundreds, and those cases say, if you're 0:46:23.920 --> 0:46:27.200 in an American court, we've got jurisdiction. It doesn't matter 0:46:27.239 --> 0:46:31.080 how you got here. So the Latin translation is literally 0:46:31.160 --> 0:46:32.480 bad capture. 0:46:32.760 --> 0:46:34.399 Good legal action. 0:46:34.760 --> 0:46:38.839 So in other words, the court's not gonna get he 0:46:38.920 --> 0:46:41.280 came into court today and said I got kidnapped. 0:46:42.080 --> 0:46:45.200 Nobody gives a you know what about that? In federal 0:46:45.239 --> 0:46:47.120 district court, none of that matters. 0:46:47.600 --> 0:46:50.720 Well, what about the wife? Just kind of the spur 0:46:50.840 --> 0:46:53.120 off of that, I don't know what. What would you 0:46:53.239 --> 0:46:56.000 charge her with. I have no clue on that, just 0:46:56.560 --> 0:46:58.080 accessory after the fact or what. 0:46:59.680 --> 0:47:04.000 We hadn't seen any evidence of it, and you. 0:47:03.960 --> 0:47:08.040 Would think that they have some These are these indictments 0:47:08.200 --> 0:47:11.560 stem back from twenty twenty, the first time Trump was 0:47:11.600 --> 0:47:15.680 in office. I believe they added additional counts to them 0:47:15.760 --> 0:47:18.480 just last week and added her as a co conspirator 0:47:18.560 --> 0:47:19.160 last week. 0:47:20.000 --> 0:47:20.680 I don't know why. 0:47:20.760 --> 0:47:24.080 I'm assuming we'll learn a lot of times it's not 0:47:24.160 --> 0:47:27.960 uncommon for spouses to sort of, you know, be involved 0:47:28.000 --> 0:47:33.120 in one another's shenanigans like this. So if she's got 0:47:33.160 --> 0:47:36.239 some complicit complicity here, well we'll see it may be 0:47:36.400 --> 0:47:39.400 much less you would think it probably would be. 0:47:39.440 --> 0:47:41.000 But but again we're guessing. 0:47:42.400 --> 0:47:45.200 So, Jeremy, if you were defending him, what would your 0:47:45.239 --> 0:47:47.400 case be that, Look, you can't just come into it. 0:47:47.440 --> 0:47:49.040 You're going to think we're I'm a bad guy all 0:47:49.080 --> 0:47:51.560 you want, but you can't just come into our sovereign 0:47:51.640 --> 0:47:54.520 country and and take me out and put me up 0:47:54.560 --> 0:47:57.000 in your court system. Is that going to be the 0:47:57.040 --> 0:47:59.319 main line of the defense here. 0:48:00.560 --> 0:48:02.839 You can try that, I don't know, I don't know 0:48:02.880 --> 0:48:05.520 how successful you'll be with it. The first thing I 0:48:05.560 --> 0:48:08.800 would do if I'm defending this guy is I would 0:48:08.840 --> 0:48:12.239 have about seventy eight pages in my contract dedicated to 0:48:12.920 --> 0:48:15.480 I'm not being paid with drug money and the government 0:48:15.560 --> 0:48:18.320 can't seize it. So that's a thing in criminal defense. 0:48:18.840 --> 0:48:19.160 Uh. 0:48:19.239 --> 0:48:21.279 You know, if somebody shows up to your office with 0:48:21.360 --> 0:48:22.480 a bunch of briefcases. 0:48:23.520 --> 0:48:24.840 You know, you're a lawyer, and. 0:48:26.320 --> 0:48:30.600 You know you think, yes, right, you gotta hope the 0:48:30.640 --> 0:48:33.279 booger sugar is not just dripping off the stuff, you know, 0:48:33.400 --> 0:48:37.040 so you gotta, you know, you gotta, you gotta think 0:48:37.080 --> 0:48:39.640 about it because because the government can seize it, you know, 0:48:39.760 --> 0:48:43.040 it's drug money, and that that that that that really 0:48:43.080 --> 0:48:44.719 sucks for you. I mean, they're not going to throw 0:48:44.760 --> 0:48:47.560 the lawyer in jail, probably, but but it's still kind 0:48:47.560 --> 0:48:48.160 of sucks to. 0:48:48.120 --> 0:48:50.680 Have, you know, a couple of million taken out of. 0:48:50.600 --> 0:48:53.560 Your bank account. That that's a hard conversation with the wife. 0:48:53.640 --> 0:48:59.279 So right, yeah, so so. 0:48:59.440 --> 0:49:03.000 That that that's challenge there. But okay, so so. 0:49:02.760 --> 0:49:05.120 So putting my lawyer hat on here and just kind 0:49:05.120 --> 0:49:09.280 of thinking through some of the problems if I'm defending 0:49:09.320 --> 0:49:13.719 this case and my client lived in Cincinnati, kind of 0:49:13.719 --> 0:49:21.000 like where Brendan Soursby is going to let's say that, 0:49:21.080 --> 0:49:23.520 let's say that you know, my client lives in Cincinnati, 0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:26.799 and and in that instance, I'm looking at search and 0:49:26.840 --> 0:49:27.600 seizure issues. 0:49:27.680 --> 0:49:27.919 Right. 0:49:28.080 --> 0:49:31.160 The government's got to get a warrant to listen to 0:49:31.200 --> 0:49:32.160 my conversations. 0:49:32.239 --> 0:49:32.439 Right. 0:49:33.040 --> 0:49:38.560 So, but we're allowed to wire tap a foreign sovereign, 0:49:38.719 --> 0:49:39.160 aren't we. 0:49:39.239 --> 0:49:40.640 I mean, that's kind of part of it. 0:49:40.880 --> 0:49:43.120 So the Fourth Amendment I don't think is going to 0:49:43.200 --> 0:49:46.680 protect Maduro. He was not on US soil, and he 0:49:46.760 --> 0:49:49.760 has no expectation of privacy. He's not a US citizen 0:49:49.760 --> 0:49:54.000 abroad or or anywhere controlled by America. So we're learning 0:49:54.120 --> 0:49:57.640 things because we're wire tapping and spying on him. 0:49:58.160 --> 0:50:00.959 That's going to be fair game. And and that makes 0:50:01.000 --> 0:50:02.279 a that's a. 0:50:02.280 --> 0:50:06.520 Huge, huge challenge in cases like this. In federal drug conspiracies, 0:50:07.000 --> 0:50:10.520 it is not uncommon for the DEA or the FBI 0:50:11.160 --> 0:50:16.080 to basically have four thousand recordings on audio and they 0:50:16.600 --> 0:50:17.960 come and tell the lawyer, look. 0:50:17.800 --> 0:50:20.120 Man, here's the here's what. 0:50:20.160 --> 0:50:23.520 We'll give you the top two hundred or three hundred, 0:50:24.160 --> 0:50:26.400 because if you really want them all, we'll let you 0:50:26.440 --> 0:50:27.960 have them all, or you can come up here and 0:50:28.000 --> 0:50:31.200 listen to them all, you know, but we're there. These 0:50:31.239 --> 0:50:33.520 are just the first top seventy that we're going to 0:50:33.560 --> 0:50:34.160 play in court. 0:50:34.280 --> 0:50:34.440 Right. 0:50:34.640 --> 0:50:37.600 I was hearing Casey kasem on iHeart. I was hearing 0:50:37.600 --> 0:50:39.000 that commercial about the top forty. 0:50:39.040 --> 0:50:42.840 The lower the number, the bigger the hit, you know. 0:50:43.000 --> 0:50:46.239 So so right, you know, so most of the time, 0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:48.640 this evidence is going to be really overwhelming, and you're 0:50:48.680 --> 0:50:49.600 always looking. 0:50:49.400 --> 0:50:51.399 To attack how did they attain it? 0:50:51.719 --> 0:50:55.200 And you're always looking for Fourth Amendment issues or other 0:50:55.239 --> 0:50:58.879 search and seizure issues or other computer forensic issues. And 0:50:59.360 --> 0:51:02.000 if I'm his lawyer, man, I just don't I don't 0:51:02.040 --> 0:51:02.799 see a lot of. 0:51:02.680 --> 0:51:07.239 That in your opinion? Is there going to be is 0:51:07.280 --> 0:51:09.640 he Is there any basis for him to try to 0:51:09.680 --> 0:51:12.319 strike a deal to get out of this whole thing? 0:51:12.480 --> 0:51:14.040 I don't see it. 0:51:17.040 --> 0:51:22.640 Well, okay, So the Harnduran president got pardoned last month 0:51:22.680 --> 0:51:25.319 from a for ex president got pardoned last month from 0:51:25.320 --> 0:51:27.920 a forty year sentence, forty five year sentence. 0:51:29.719 --> 0:51:30.600 You know, Maduro. 0:51:30.760 --> 0:51:34.040 If I'm Maduro, I'm calling Trump and saying, guess what 0:51:35.400 --> 0:51:37.680 I get it now? And how about I go back 0:51:37.760 --> 0:51:41.520 to Venezuela and we open up a big gas airport 0:51:42.040 --> 0:51:45.160 for you, and and we'll detain what you can send 0:51:45.200 --> 0:51:48.040 your people. You can, we'll put a military base here 0:51:48.080 --> 0:51:50.000 for you. Will you know have about some oil? 0:51:50.480 --> 0:51:50.680 Right? 0:51:51.840 --> 0:51:54.040 That was the one boom? 0:51:54.800 --> 0:51:56.640 You know, I know a place, I know, I know, 0:51:56.840 --> 0:51:58.759 I know, I know a way for you guys to 0:51:58.840 --> 0:52:01.120 do that.

But back to Billy Joel, 0:57:21.600 --> 0:57:24.600 you should watch that. There was a two part documentary. 0:57:24.920 --> 0:57:29.480 I think it was on HBO about Billy Joel. You know, 0:57:29.520 --> 0:57:31.280 you don't have to be a giant fan of his music, 0:57:31.320 --> 0:57:33.760 aren't because I'm not a giant Billy Joel fan. Obviously 0:57:33.760 --> 0:57:37.400 he's got some great songs. But man, what an interesting 0:57:37.480 --> 0:57:40.480 guy that he had a very interesting life. 0:57:41.200 --> 0:57:43.200 Really described. 0:57:44.560 --> 0:57:48.800 He kind and he was one of those guys that 0:57:48.920 --> 0:57:51.240 just kind of kept beating around and beaten around. 0:57:51.360 --> 0:57:53.880 And he the. 0:57:53.600 --> 0:57:56.360 Lady that he ended up marrying, they were the whole 0:57:56.480 --> 0:58:01.320 piano man, that is basically that's a true He wrote 0:58:01.360 --> 0:58:04.800 that about this this gig that he had at this bar, 0:58:05.720 --> 0:58:08.440 and that was true. It was you know, the guy 0:58:08.560 --> 0:58:10.160 knew he was lucky to have him laying there and 0:58:10.200 --> 0:58:14.400 all that stuff, and the waitresses practicing politics was his. 0:58:15.600 --> 0:58:18.600 Was the girl he ended up marrying, Oh wow. And she, 0:58:18.960 --> 0:58:21.960 you know, I guess she was always she'd get in 0:58:22.080 --> 0:58:25.320 arguments with customers and stuff, talking about politics and all 0:58:25.360 --> 0:58:29.000 that kind of crap and just every All the songs 0:58:29.040 --> 0:58:35.800 that he wrote are basically autobiographies. You know what I'm saying, Hey, 0:58:35.840 --> 0:58:38.960 look uh Lucy and the Sky with Diamonds by the Beatles, 0:58:39.080 --> 0:58:41.520 great song. I don't think there was a guy on 0:58:41.600 --> 0:58:44.880 a you know, maybe if you were tripping, yeah, of course. 0:58:45.680 --> 0:58:48.920 But but but almost all the songs that Billy Joel 0:58:49.040 --> 0:58:51.840 wrote were about something that happened in his. 0:58:51.760 --> 0:58:54.480 Life, and those are always the best songs, right. 0:58:54.520 --> 0:58:56.920 And that's the case I always make when we talk 0:58:57.000 --> 0:59:00.040 about AI and how AI songs are coming out and 0:59:00.080 --> 0:59:01.880 that some that sound really good. 0:59:01.920 --> 0:59:05.720 I often ask do we appreciate. 0:59:05.120 --> 0:59:08.640 Them and want to listen to them the same way, 0:59:08.800 --> 0:59:14.040 knowing that there's no real human story, real human thing 0:59:14.160 --> 0:59:17.360 that that happened in emotion that comes out. But but nevertheless, no, 0:59:17.480 --> 0:59:19.480 that's that's it. Yeah, I'm the same way with Billy Joe. 0:59:19.520 --> 0:59:22.760 I don't you know, he's fine. I don't you know 0:59:23.360 --> 0:59:23.800 love him. 0:59:23.880 --> 0:59:25.400 It's one of those things, right, And like I said, 0:59:25.440 --> 0:59:29.800 I gained a whole new appreciation for him because you go, yeah, 0:59:29.960 --> 0:59:34.200 knowing that that song, most of it is not made up. 0:59:34.280 --> 0:59:36.480 Let's put it that way for like a better way 0:59:36.520 --> 0:59:39.919 to put it, you know what I'm saying. So it's 0:59:40.000 --> 0:59:44.200 like writing a bunch of little books about your life. 0:59:44.840 --> 0:59:47.440 I had a country music writer, he's, you know, a 0:59:47.480 --> 0:59:51.240 songwriter down Nashville. Tell me it's he's like he's like, 0:59:51.320 --> 0:59:53.640 you know, he's like, thank god, there's hard times in 0:59:53.680 --> 0:59:55.920 life because use there would be no songs. He goes, 0:59:55.960 --> 0:59:59.240 that's where all the songs we write come from, right, 0:59:59.400 --> 1:00:03.560 or something that that happened, usually something bad, a breakup, 1:00:04.000 --> 1:00:06.080 you know, sometime in your life where you don't think 1:00:06.120 --> 1:00:08.440 you're nothing, you're never gonna make it. And it was 1:00:08.800 --> 1:00:10.640 always turn out to be the best ones. 1:00:10.840 --> 1:00:15.360 Well, when we did our Crazy Christmas Show with Willie, 1:00:16.440 --> 1:00:21.240 if you did hear it, you missed one. But one 1:00:21.240 --> 1:00:24.000 of the things Willy asked me and they're like, I 1:00:24.040 --> 1:00:26.320 want to die, ask you what's wrong with rock and 1:00:26.440 --> 1:00:27.439 roll music now? 1:00:27.920 --> 1:00:33.200 It's like, how much time have you said? I don't 1:00:33.240 --> 1:00:33.560 know what. 1:00:35.560 --> 1:00:38.440 That's a that's a pretty deep dive there. And but 1:00:38.520 --> 1:00:40.439 one of the things I thought of after the fact 1:00:40.440 --> 1:00:44.080 I wish I would have said, was, uh, well, because 1:00:44.120 --> 1:00:47.520 apparently life is too good now. We don't have enough 1:00:47.520 --> 1:00:53.120 heroin addicts who were beaten as a child kind of 1:00:53.600 --> 1:00:56.600 look at people like Kurt, Kurt Cobain and people like that. 1:00:57.040 --> 1:01:01.000 Guess what their lives, their young lives were screwed up. 1:01:01.600 --> 1:01:02.080 Yeah. 1:01:02.280 --> 1:01:06.560 Now, like I said earlier, exactly, the best songs come 1:01:06.600 --> 1:01:09.440 from a lot of pain, and the best stories come 1:01:09.440 --> 1:01:13.600 from tragedy. So that's interesting. Yeah, I do guta say. 1:01:13.680 --> 1:01:15.640 Piano Man is one of those songs. I think I've 1:01:15.680 --> 1:01:19.080 heard so many times that I can't listen to it anymore. 1:01:19.520 --> 1:01:23.240 And I hate when people get that excited when it 1:01:23.280 --> 1:01:25.920 comes on, because my god, I've heard a song a 1:01:26.160 --> 1:01:27.480 million times in my life. 1:01:28.240 --> 1:01:34.840 I was probably a sophomore.

But 1:03:24.200 --> 1:03:27.640 but also like here's people that fight Scratch and Clauda, 1:03:28.400 --> 1:03:31.400 you know, the Kevin Greens and you know, of the world, 1:03:31.480 --> 1:03:32.800 and he gets a freebie. 1:03:32.800 --> 1:03:37.280 But whatever, well, and also let's while we're bringing up 1:03:38.480 --> 1:03:44.240 the football you were you were doing a game last night, 1:03:44.240 --> 1:03:46.200 so you didn't get to watch Did you see any 1:03:46.240 --> 1:03:48.240 of the raven Steelers game or did you lea see 1:03:48.240 --> 1:03:49.160 the replay of it or something. 1:03:49.360 --> 1:03:51.240 I saw the highlights when we got back to the hotel. 1:03:51.520 --> 1:03:54.160 By the way, the game, I had unbelievable game. So 1:03:54.200 --> 1:03:56.680 I had the Stag Bowl, which is the Division III 1:03:56.840 --> 1:04:01.160 national title. And uh, first of all, it's cool Division 1:04:01.200 --> 1:04:04.200 three And I said this on the broadcast last night, 1:04:04.280 --> 1:04:10.520 maybe the last true you know, like I mean, just 1:04:10.560 --> 1:04:13.920 the purest form of football left. I mean, there's nil 1:04:14.000 --> 1:04:16.440 in high school anymore. Right, there's forty six of the 1:04:16.440 --> 1:04:19.200 fifty states allow nil. There's something that's starting to go 1:04:19.280 --> 1:04:23.200 on and creep into high school football. But Division three, 1:04:23.400 --> 1:04:26.960 no one's getting paid, right, the players aren't. So anyway, 1:04:27.000 --> 1:04:29.520 it was North Central had been the sixth straight Stag 1:04:29.560 --> 1:04:32.480 Bulls versus Wisconsin River Falls, who hadn't been in the 1:04:32.480 --> 1:04:37.240 playoffs since nineteen ninety six, right, so twenty nine years 1:04:37.880 --> 1:04:40.240 and River Falls went in and beat them. Man, it 1:04:40.320 --> 1:04:43.800 was an incredible game anyway, that was in a side. 1:04:43.800 --> 1:04:47.000 But after the game, I saw the highlights of the 1:04:47.080 --> 1:04:48.320 Ravens Steelers game. 1:04:48.560 --> 1:04:51.840 Yeah, and I bring up the Browns kicker. How about 1:04:52.040 --> 1:04:53.320 how about the Ravens kicker? 1:04:54.080 --> 1:04:54.520 That guy? 1:04:55.240 --> 1:04:59.440 Just I know, I felt my wife, god lover, she 1:04:59.680 --> 1:05:03.920 is one who I mean, if there's ever like a 1:05:04.120 --> 1:05:06.680 like a therapy animal for kickers, I think she would 1:05:06.760 --> 1:05:09.640 sign up for it because, like she just thinks that's 1:05:09.720 --> 1:05:13.720 just the cruelest, most awful, unfair thing in the world 1:05:13.760 --> 1:05:16.400 that the game comes down to the kicker, you know. 1:05:16.480 --> 1:05:19.360 And I'm like, they don't do anything all day, would kick, 1:05:19.440 --> 1:05:20.240 They should be able. 1:05:20.040 --> 1:05:22.200 To kick the ball. She don't see it that way. Well, 1:05:22.520 --> 1:05:23.600 very tender heart. 1:05:23.720 --> 1:05:27.680 She's actually kicking on that field and in that notorious 1:05:28.160 --> 1:05:32.240 in the Steelers. The field there is that notorious for 1:05:32.360 --> 1:05:35.840 being just absolutely absolutely cruddy. 1:05:35.920 --> 1:05:39.400 Yeah, I played on It's yeah, it's kind of rough 1:05:39.760 --> 1:05:40.640 side for sure. 1:05:40.960 --> 1:05:43.680 So yeah, that's yeah, tough one. 1:05:43.720 --> 1:05:47.840 But I know, uh, you know, Bengals fans were probably 1:05:47.880 --> 1:05:50.360 more sorry than anything that Bengals amas want to see 1:05:50.400 --> 1:05:52.600 the Ravens go before the Steelers, right, I. 1:05:52.520 --> 1:05:53.080 Would think so. 1:05:53.760 --> 1:05:58.120 Well, I see if I tell my wife, and my 1:05:58.160 --> 1:05:59.919 wife always tells me to shut up when I say 1:06:00.480 --> 1:06:03.240 a game like this, I'm just I'll love it for 1:06:03.320 --> 1:06:04.080 a lot of injuries. 1:06:04.480 --> 1:06:06.400 She's like, you're all bad. 1:06:09.600 --> 1:06:09.960 With that. 1:06:10.680 --> 1:06:12.960 We got Dave lab him coming up after the news 1:06:13.080 --> 1:06:16.240 Now News Radio seven hundred WLW. 1:06:16.240 --> 1:06:23.160 News Traffic and Weather. News Radio seven hundred w l W, Cincinnati, 1:06:23.280 --> 1:06:27.240 a decision on Zach Taylor. This is the five o'clock report. 1:06:27.280 --> 1:06:31.680 I'm Matt Reeves breaking now. Bengals owner Mike Brown announcing 1:06:31.720 --> 1:06:36.000 today he supports coach Zach Taylor and the teams director 1:06:36.040 --> 1:06:40.640 of player personnel Duke Tobin. Mike Brown announcing Taylor, Tobin, 1:06:40.720 --> 1:06:43.440 we'll be back in twenty twenty six, saying he's confident 1:06:43.480 --> 1:06:46.600 they are the right leaders to guide the team forward 1:06:47.120 --> 1:06:50.520 as this Coach Taylor during his news conferences past hour. 1:06:51.000 --> 1:06:53.280 The owner come out and say search positive. 1:06:53.720 --> 1:06:56.760 I'm appreciative of that, you know, And again, I think 1:06:56.800 --> 1:06:59.520 when you're you're aligned and you get together like we 1:06:59.560 --> 1:07:03.200 get together and won the same page. I don't need 1:07:03.240 --> 1:07:05.360 those things said about me, but but it's certainly helpful 1:07:05.360 --> 1:07:08.320 as we move forward and provides clarity, and so again, 1:07:09.200 --> 1:07:10.720 appreciative that you need that. 1:07:11.040 --> 1:07:12.240 No, I didn't. I didn't need that. 1:07:12.320 --> 1:07:12.920 I felt. 1:07:13.080 --> 1:07:15.080 I've had plenty with conversations. 1:07:15.400 --> 1:07:18.000 And reaction to Mike Brown's decision, saying. 1:07:17.760 --> 1:07:20.160 That he had confidence in Zach Taylor and Duke Tobin, 1:07:20.200 --> 1:07:22.640 which I think are probably two of the things that 1:07:22.680 --> 1:07:26.000 are holding the team back in general. It's just it's 1:07:26.040 --> 1:07:27.480 just not a good look moving forward. 1:07:27.600 --> 1:07:30.400 Sean Brand says Zach Taylor should have been fired after 1:07:30.480 --> 1:07:33.920 Sunday's loss with the Browns. He reacted to Mike Brown's 1:07:33.920 --> 1:07:35.440 statement today and. 1:07:35.400 --> 1:07:38.680 The end the season like that, after you know, playing 1:07:38.720 --> 1:07:42.320 well the couple previous weeks. It just it wasn't a 1:07:42.320 --> 1:07:44.560 good look to end the season. Doesn't really give me 1:07:44.600 --> 1:07:45.720 confidence for next season. 1:07:45.920 --> 1:07:49.320 Brand Patrick Sports Bar and Grill on Crook Shank Road 1:07:49.360 --> 1:07:51.240 on the West Side, says the fate of the team 1:07:51.760 --> 1:07:54.640 will once again be thrown on Joe Burrows's shoulders, and 1:07:54.680 --> 1:07:57.960 that's how Bengals fans will live and die. Tim Wilson 1:07:57.960 --> 1:08:00.640 also at Patrick's behind my Brown, I'm. 1:08:00.560 --> 1:08:03.320 Glad to see that Zach will be bad and hopefully 1:08:03.360 --> 1:08:05.240 you can get it done and we will be in 1:08:05.240 --> 1:08:07.640 the playoffs next year.

He is our good friend, Dave Lapham 1:12:54.240 --> 1:12:55.080 lap How are we. 1:12:55.080 --> 1:12:58.400 Looking, gentlemen, How the heck you doing today? 1:12:59.040 --> 1:12:59.640 You tell us? 1:12:59.760 --> 1:12:59.960 Lap? 1:13:00.240 --> 1:13:01.719 Uh? 1:13:01.920 --> 1:13:02.600 What? 1:13:02.160 --> 1:13:05.559 What a bitter, sweet, weird end of the season yesterday? 1:13:05.640 --> 1:13:09.639 Yuh yeah, it was, Uh, it was a roller coaster. 1:13:09.920 --> 1:13:13.000 It kind of a represented It was kind of a 1:13:13.040 --> 1:13:15.200 good representation what the season was like. 1:13:15.320 --> 1:13:16.320 I mean, they. 1:13:16.160 --> 1:13:19.840 Had really good moments, they had terrible moments, and they had, 1:13:19.880 --> 1:13:22.160 you know, moments that were just okay, And that's kind 1:13:22.160 --> 1:13:25.120 of how the season went. And ultimately as a result 1:13:25.120 --> 1:13:28.000 of that, you go six and eleven. But you know, 1:13:28.160 --> 1:13:30.880 yesterday it was it was the three t's. It was turnovers. 1:13:30.880 --> 1:13:33.240 Of course, they had the bumble that was returned for 1:13:33.280 --> 1:13:35.280 a touchdown. They had an interception that was a turn 1:13:35.360 --> 1:13:38.200 for a touchdown. You know, they went minus one in 1:13:38.240 --> 1:13:43.960 the turnover department, So that, uh, that was that was tough. 1:13:44.439 --> 1:13:44.599 Uh. 1:13:44.880 --> 1:13:47.840 When you have two taken back for scores, you're not 1:13:47.880 --> 1:13:50.720 gonna win at any level, you know, high school, college, 1:13:51.040 --> 1:13:53.360 national Football League. You just you're just not gonna win 1:13:54.000 --> 1:13:57.679 third down, you know. They they had their good moments 1:13:57.800 --> 1:14:01.320 with some third down conversions and bat and ugly ones 1:14:01.400 --> 1:14:06.320 and kind of in between as well. And it's it's 1:14:06.400 --> 1:14:08.200 kind of it's a pattern of the game. I mean, 1:14:08.320 --> 1:14:13.240 Zach said that basically this is loose translation, loose interpretation 1:14:13.320 --> 1:14:16.080 what he said, but he said, you know, literally, we 1:14:16.200 --> 1:14:17.240 deserve what we got. 1:14:17.360 --> 1:14:17.840 I mean, we. 1:14:17.840 --> 1:14:23.160 Played inconsistent football and lost the football game. Well, you 1:14:23.200 --> 1:14:25.320 can kind of project that to the whole season. I mean, 1:14:25.320 --> 1:14:28.799 they played inconsistent football. They had stretches where they played 1:14:28.800 --> 1:14:32.479 well and stretches where they certainly didn't. I mean, yep, 1:14:33.240 --> 1:14:36.000 you know yesterday, Shoot, if they won they won three 1:14:36.040 --> 1:14:37.640 in a row and gone five four and two in 1:14:37.640 --> 1:14:40.960 the division. But they didn't, and they finished three and 1:14:40.960 --> 1:14:42.680 three in the division. They lose the last game of 1:14:42.720 --> 1:14:45.000 the season, and would have been good to win three 1:14:45.040 --> 1:14:47.360 in a row and gone in a high note, you know, 1:14:47.800 --> 1:14:50.640 a little little bit of something to look forward to, 1:14:50.680 --> 1:14:54.639 a foundation for twenty twenty seven and get the fan 1:14:54.680 --> 1:14:55.920 base excited about it. 1:14:57.120 --> 1:14:59.120 Well, Love, I gotta tell you a funny story. 1:14:59.320 --> 1:15:01.720 I was actually listening to your broadcast and in great 1:15:01.800 --> 1:15:04.479 job as always, because I was driving up to Canton 1:15:04.560 --> 1:15:07.160 during the game, and you know when in the interception 1:15:07.240 --> 1:15:10.680 the pick six happened, and then I had to you know, 1:15:10.680 --> 1:15:12.320 I had to take a phone call real quick. And 1:15:12.360 --> 1:15:14.920 when I come back, you guys were talking about the 1:15:14.960 --> 1:15:17.840 Browns defensive score and I was like, you know, kind 1:15:17.840 --> 1:15:20.080 of you know, revisiting that. I didn't realize there was 1:15:20.240 --> 1:15:24.040 it has happened a second time the fumble return. I 1:15:24.120 --> 1:15:27.280 was like, man, these guys are really really calling this story. 1:15:27.320 --> 1:15:28.880 I'm sure it was. 1:15:28.840 --> 1:15:31.840 Amazing, but no, it was it actually happened two times. 1:15:32.040 --> 1:15:34.439 That was that was funny. I laughed to myself. 1:15:35.439 --> 1:15:38.880 Yeah, it was amazing. I mean, two defensive scores in 1:15:38.880 --> 1:15:41.400 about a two minute time frame. Yeah, to be an 1:15:41.479 --> 1:15:44.320 NFL record. I mean I've never seen it before, never 1:15:44.360 --> 1:15:45.800 seen it at any level high school. 1:15:45.960 --> 1:15:47.160 I don't think you ever see it again. 1:15:47.479 --> 1:15:49.320 Yeah, I agree, I agree. 1:15:49.640 --> 1:15:52.040 The only way I'd like to see it. 1:15:52.840 --> 1:15:54.559 Yes, yeah, maybe that'll happen. 1:15:54.840 --> 1:15:57.840 Maybe so so Lap, what with this season being done, 1:15:59.360 --> 1:16:02.639 give us one thing you're hopeful for in this Bengals 1:16:02.680 --> 1:16:05.800 off season. Anything come to mind. I know it's early, 1:16:05.840 --> 1:16:08.760 but anything come to mind of what you know? Maybe 1:16:09.000 --> 1:16:11.439 you know priority number one needs to be for this 1:16:11.520 --> 1:16:12.200 team next year. 1:16:13.640 --> 1:16:16.880 Yeah, it's it's it's interesting. I think the priority number 1:16:16.880 --> 1:16:19.960 one has to be the development of the of the 1:16:19.960 --> 1:16:22.599 young base of players that they've got. You know, they 1:16:22.600 --> 1:16:25.360 do have some some young talent in the football team. 1:16:25.640 --> 1:16:27.360 This year's draft was pretty productive. 1:16:27.400 --> 1:16:29.960 They've they've they went out and they got some young 1:16:30.000 --> 1:16:33.519 free agents that they signed in free agency, and they 1:16:34.280 --> 1:16:37.400 have first and second year players that they drafted. But 1:16:37.520 --> 1:16:39.679 I think are going to be pretty good football players. 1:16:39.680 --> 1:16:42.719 So I think the onus is on the organization, the coaches, 1:16:42.880 --> 1:16:46.800 everybody to to develop these guys and let them help 1:16:46.840 --> 1:16:48.240 them reach their full potential. 1:16:49.240 --> 1:16:53.760 They're they're close. You know, there are some holes, you know. 1:16:54.000 --> 1:16:57.320 I think up the middle defensively is where holes might 1:16:57.360 --> 1:17:00.720 be in terms of numbers of players. You like to 1:17:00.760 --> 1:17:04.599 have a rotation of multiple defensive lineman. Then they do. 1:17:04.680 --> 1:17:07.080 I mean, they've got guys that can play, but they 1:17:07.120 --> 1:17:09.360 have the tenth pick of the draft. So with that 1:17:09.400 --> 1:17:12.080 tenth pick of the draft, if there's an edge player 1:17:12.520 --> 1:17:15.920 or a defensive tackle play available, that that's where I 1:17:15.920 --> 1:17:16.519 would focus. 1:17:16.560 --> 1:17:18.040 That's where I would I would look to go. 1:17:19.200 --> 1:17:22.519 You know, if if four edge guys are already gone 1:17:22.840 --> 1:17:26.240 and there's only one defensive tackle, the best defensive tackle 1:17:26.280 --> 1:17:28.040 and draft is gone, you get the second best one 1:17:28.080 --> 1:17:28.559 on the board. 1:17:29.000 --> 1:17:29.840 I jump on that. 1:17:30.000 --> 1:17:32.760 But you know, if in fact, you know, say a 1:17:32.840 --> 1:17:35.839 couple of edge guys and a couple of defensive tackles 1:17:35.840 --> 1:17:38.439 are gone, the third best edge rush guys are better 1:17:38.479 --> 1:17:41.639 than the third best defensive tackle, that's where you go obviously. 1:17:41.920 --> 1:17:45.040 But I would I would definitely look to beef up 1:17:45.080 --> 1:17:48.479 the defensive line. I think the offensive line is is. 1:17:48.800 --> 1:17:49.599 Is pretty solid. 1:17:49.640 --> 1:17:52.080 I think they're they're you know, they're not like a 1:17:52.080 --> 1:17:55.559 bunch of Pro bowlers, But I think they played pretty 1:17:55.560 --> 1:17:59.280 effectively together. I think that you know, they they play 1:17:59.320 --> 1:18:02.880 as a as as a unity. They have a good 1:18:02.880 --> 1:18:05.760 feel for each other what to expect from a guy 1:18:05.880 --> 1:18:09.240 right next to you when stunts and twists and blitzes 1:18:09.280 --> 1:18:12.120 and all that's going on. But if again, at the 1:18:12.160 --> 1:18:16.439 tenth pick if the defensive line for whatever reason, if 1:18:17.080 --> 1:18:19.719 say in the first ten picks, three defensive tackles, three 1:18:21.000 --> 1:18:23.360 defensive ends are off the board and the number one 1:18:24.000 --> 1:18:26.479 offensive tackle is still out there in the draft, shoot 1:18:26.600 --> 1:18:29.240 and he slides to number ten, you get to jump 1:18:29.240 --> 1:18:30.000 on that bad boy. 1:18:31.360 --> 1:18:31.719 Yeah. 1:18:31.760 --> 1:18:35.519 It's the issue to me, lap is there's so many holes. 1:18:35.520 --> 1:18:38.200 It's not like there's one hole of field D line 1:18:38.280 --> 1:18:40.720 and there. I will say this and the Bengals have 1:18:40.800 --> 1:18:45.280 the tenth pick this and from my view, there's gonna 1:18:45.280 --> 1:18:47.400 be got a ton of like great players. I mean, 1:18:47.439 --> 1:18:49.880 I mean, I think last year, if you compared to 1:18:49.960 --> 1:18:52.800 other drafts of talent perspective, maybe a little bit light. 1:18:52.840 --> 1:18:54.920 But I think this year is going to be something else. 1:18:55.200 --> 1:18:59.360 They would do worse getting that defensive end from Miami. 1:18:59.439 --> 1:19:01.560 Ruben Bain that he is unbelievable. 1:19:01.640 --> 1:19:03.600 I doubt it was the first person that came to 1:19:03.640 --> 1:19:05.240 my mind after watching him play. 1:19:05.240 --> 1:19:05.439 Man. 1:19:05.560 --> 1:19:08.320 I know they don't have the prototypical size Bengals like 1:19:08.400 --> 1:19:10.559 at the end, but the production is there. 1:19:10.640 --> 1:19:12.600 Man, geez, that guy is unblockable. 1:19:13.640 --> 1:19:15.280 Yeah. I mean, if you have a. 1:19:15.200 --> 1:19:18.360 Guy like that, you know, it makes it makes it 1:19:18.400 --> 1:19:21.000 an eager decision. And you know, the factor is that 1:19:21.080 --> 1:19:22.920 they've got a bunch of cat money too. They're in 1:19:22.960 --> 1:19:27.080 the top ten in cat money that they're going to 1:19:27.120 --> 1:19:29.360 be rolling over. And then the salary cap for the 1:19:29.400 --> 1:19:32.160 following year, twenty twenty seven is going to come out, 1:19:32.520 --> 1:19:35.559 and you know, now they're I mean, I should say 1:19:35.600 --> 1:19:37.680 for twenty twenty six is going to come out. Now 1:19:37.720 --> 1:19:39.960 the money they have left over from twenty twenty five 1:19:40.320 --> 1:19:42.240 and what they add to it in twenty twenty six, 1:19:42.240 --> 1:19:43.400 they're going to be able to go out and get 1:19:43.439 --> 1:19:48.320 themselves some pretty significant free agents as well, you know 1:19:48.400 --> 1:19:51.760 from other teams, veteran free agents, and they can beef 1:19:51.840 --> 1:19:55.400 up the defensive and offensive minest by going that avenue 1:19:55.400 --> 1:19:57.920 as well and gets yourself some good talent. 1:19:58.600 --> 1:20:00.960 Let me ask both of you guys. Back in the day, 1:20:01.200 --> 1:20:03.599 I think that there were and there was no secret 1:20:03.720 --> 1:20:06.240 that there were a lot of the big the big 1:20:06.280 --> 1:20:09.880 guy free agents were kind of, uh, I don't know, 1:20:09.960 --> 1:20:12.479 hesitant to come here. What it seems like to me 1:20:12.640 --> 1:20:15.000 that's all changed and uh, it would seem to be 1:20:15.040 --> 1:20:17.720 there's been people just they would die to play here. 1:20:17.800 --> 1:20:20.800 Is that that's not the worst thing? 1:20:22.080 --> 1:20:25.599 Yeah, yeah, I agree, you know, Joe Burrow is Uh, 1:20:26.280 --> 1:20:29.880 is is the man. Uh, he's the He's the guy. 1:20:30.000 --> 1:20:34.080 He's he's the kingpin. He's carrying that franchise on his shoulders. 1:20:34.080 --> 1:20:36.760 He's it's not the best quarterback in the NFL, and 1:20:36.760 --> 1:20:37.479 I think he is. 1:20:37.560 --> 1:20:39.439 He's in the top two or three. It doesn't take. 1:20:39.400 --> 1:20:42.800 Long, no doubt, call roll and uh, you know he's 1:20:42.840 --> 1:20:47.639 got all the talents that you want, arm, talent, size, 1:20:48.360 --> 1:20:50.040 Uh you know he can he can. 1:20:50.160 --> 1:20:51.400 Create an extend plays. 1:20:51.439 --> 1:20:54.720 He's got pretty good feet, good foot speed, good foot quickness. 1:20:55.080 --> 1:20:57.880 Uh like to have him have a healthy season, man, 1:20:57.920 --> 1:21:00.400 I'd like to I'd like to say, see what football 1:21:00.400 --> 1:21:03.599 guy say this year in twenty twenty six, Joe Burrow, 1:21:03.680 --> 1:21:07.200 you are not going to suffer any significant injury whatsoever, 1:21:07.400 --> 1:21:09.000 any injury whatsoever. 1:21:11.040 --> 1:21:14.720 Talking about talking about burrow foot speed though that that 1:21:15.040 --> 1:21:17.360 was kind of It was comical yesterday to see him 1:21:17.400 --> 1:21:20.840 look over his shoulder and see Miles Garrett about five 1:21:20.880 --> 1:21:24.960 feet behind him and going like yeah and putting his 1:21:25.120 --> 1:21:27.640 putting his he put his foot his pedal to the 1:21:27.680 --> 1:21:30.400 metal right then son, he did, and then he. 1:21:30.400 --> 1:21:31.000 Then he slid. 1:21:31.000 --> 1:21:33.479 You know, I better take it, I better take go 1:21:33.560 --> 1:21:35.280 to the ground to where it's safe and sound, you know, 1:21:35.320 --> 1:21:36.880 and not take a take the hit. 1:21:37.080 --> 1:21:39.200 So yeah, Miles Garrett, how about him? 1:21:39.640 --> 1:21:42.320 The national story was, well, he get the sack, and 1:21:42.400 --> 1:21:44.240 he got it, you know, he did it, and uh 1:21:44.600 --> 1:21:46.000 you got gotta give him credit. 1:21:46.040 --> 1:21:49.400 I mean, dude, he's a lot. 1:21:49.680 --> 1:21:56.080 During during your broadcast, Dan Horden mentioned a guy for 1:21:56.120 --> 1:22:00.320 the Bengals who you played with that had would have 1:22:00.320 --> 1:22:02.320 been a sack record, but it was before the NFL 1:22:02.720 --> 1:22:03.240 kept sacked. 1:22:03.240 --> 1:22:06.840 Remind me of his name, right, Coy Bacon, Koy Bacon, 1:22:06.880 --> 1:22:08.720 and talk about him.

Are we have? Has it all 1:29:42.880 --> 1:29:43.960 recovered from there yet? 1:29:44.560 --> 1:29:44.760 No? 1:29:44.840 --> 1:29:47.640 Unfortunately, so the airline said they're doing pretty well, but 1:29:47.680 --> 1:29:50.160 there are people who are stuck. So Friday night into 1:29:50.200 --> 1:29:52.720 Saturday morning, is that the operation was going down and 1:29:52.720 --> 1:29:55.680 then for hours after it all the airspace around the 1:29:55.720 --> 1:29:59.240 Caribbean was shut down by the FAA, so flights couldn't 1:29:59.280 --> 1:30:03.559 head two or from numerous Caribbean destinations on one of 1:30:03.560 --> 1:30:06.519 the busiest travel weekends of the year as everybody was 1:30:06.560 --> 1:30:09.400 heading home from their holidays. And yeah, a lot of 1:30:09.439 --> 1:30:11.639 people going on Saturday to try to have a day 1:30:11.640 --> 1:30:13.439 at home on Sunday before they went back to work 1:30:13.479 --> 1:30:16.120 today and they couldn't get out. So on Saturday, over 1:30:16.120 --> 1:30:19.360 eleven hundred flights were canceled. There were one hundreds yesterday. 1:30:19.800 --> 1:30:22.240 That has meant that people who were on a Caribbean 1:30:22.320 --> 1:30:25.840 vacation are stuck now onable to get a flight out. 1:30:25.840 --> 1:30:28.679 There just aren't available seats because the planes are full 1:30:28.760 --> 1:30:31.040 going out, they got to wait until there is a 1:30:31.080 --> 1:30:33.439 flight with an open seat. Nathan and Aaron, they live 1:30:33.479 --> 1:30:36.040 in Denver, and they say this is really bad. They're 1:30:36.120 --> 1:30:38.519 stuck for quite a while and they got to pay 1:30:38.560 --> 1:30:40.519 for their own hotel rooms everything. They can't get out. 1:30:40.560 --> 1:30:42.960 Well, we're happy to take whatever's available. This is unfortunately 1:30:43.040 --> 1:30:46.519 what we found. You know, we're not asked for anything, 1:30:46.600 --> 1:30:49.839 just a place to sleep, right, like to stay safe 1:30:49.920 --> 1:30:51.840 until we can get back to the airport to fly home. 1:30:52.000 --> 1:30:53.800 I don't think it's an unreasonable ask. 1:30:53.920 --> 1:30:57.000 So they were there celebrating her fortieth birthday in Saint 1:30:57.040 --> 1:30:59.439 Martin and United told them they can't get on another 1:30:59.439 --> 1:31:03.479 flight until maybe Wednesday, maybe Friday. And because this was 1:31:03.520 --> 1:31:06.320 not the airlines doing, carriers aren't paying for hotels or 1:31:06.360 --> 1:31:08.679 food or anything, so everyone's on their own. And hotels 1:31:08.720 --> 1:31:11.320 are already totally full and super expensive this time of 1:31:11.320 --> 1:31:13.920 the year. So they're shelling out about four thousand extra 1:31:13.960 --> 1:31:16.639 dollars for a hotel waiting to get a flight out, 1:31:17.160 --> 1:31:19.400 and they're angry. They say United wanted them to sleep 1:31:19.400 --> 1:31:21.320 at the airport and said that the airline's not going 1:31:21.360 --> 1:31:22.920 to pay for hotel, just sleep at the airport. 1:31:23.000 --> 1:31:24.639 It plays to be stuck in, but I mean, we're 1:31:24.680 --> 1:31:27.559 just trying to get home, and to expect us to 1:31:27.640 --> 1:31:29.800 just sleep in the airport for five days seems kind 1:31:29.840 --> 1:31:32.840 of absurd, but you know, yeah, seems to be the 1:31:32.920 --> 1:31:35.680 case with airline companies later that I don't know. 1:31:35.720 --> 1:31:37.840 So they're not alone. This guy is in Saint Lucia 1:31:37.960 --> 1:31:40.400 with his new wife. They just got married. They're from Ohio, 1:31:41.000 --> 1:31:43.400 and they have spent an extra five thousand dollars on 1:31:43.520 --> 1:31:47.040 hotels now and Saturday night their hotel made room for them, 1:31:47.040 --> 1:31:48.519 but on Sunday they were told you got to go 1:31:48.560 --> 1:31:51.760 now and find something else. They're already full. And they 1:31:51.840 --> 1:31:55.640 say that people are now chartering boats to go to 1:31:55.800 --> 1:31:58.599 other islands and to try to get to places where 1:31:58.600 --> 1:32:01.559 there are more flights. They are now finding it. They 1:32:01.640 --> 1:32:03.840 got to get home and maybe it's cheaper than paying 1:32:03.840 --> 1:32:06.280 for the hotels. Kind of hard to understand this guy on 1:32:06.400 --> 1:32:08.519 his connection, But this guy's from Ohio. 1:32:08.680 --> 1:32:13.799 I've heard that Dominican Republic has more life going. 1:32:13.640 --> 1:32:16.599 To the US than what we have here. 1:32:16.960 --> 1:32:19.160 There's only a handful of flights that stamp of the. 1:32:19.080 --> 1:32:21.040 Show with it being that's a fall light. 1:32:21.200 --> 1:32:23.280 So the airlines say they are flying, but they are 1:32:23.360 --> 1:32:25.920 so full. American he is the one that is really 1:32:26.000 --> 1:32:28.679 ramping up through the dominant carrier in Latin America. They've 1:32:28.680 --> 1:32:31.439 been flying in bigger bowing triple sevens to get more 1:32:31.520 --> 1:32:33.840 lyft so that they can get more people out of 1:32:33.880 --> 1:32:36.519 their more seats and get them to where they're trying 1:32:36.560 --> 1:32:38.640 to go. But people on other airlines that are not 1:32:38.720 --> 1:32:43.720 as dominant in Latin America, of United and Delta and Frontier, 1:32:43.800 --> 1:32:46.680 they say that they're waiting until maybe as late as 1:32:46.680 --> 1:32:49.760 Friday or even Saturday of next week, being told, hey, 1:32:49.920 --> 1:32:51.840 you pay for your own hotel and pay for your 1:32:51.840 --> 1:32:53.720 own food, and just wait, we'll get you on a 1:32:53.720 --> 1:32:55.080 flight when there's an open seat. 1:32:55.280 --> 1:32:57.040 That would suck amazing. 1:32:57.520 --> 1:32:58.120 Yeah wow. 1:32:58.160 --> 1:33:03.160 And Alex with a few earlier in December, my wife 1:33:03.240 --> 1:33:06.880 and I were in Aruba, and I'm thinking, man, if 1:33:06.880 --> 1:33:09.960 the deal goes down, because there were already rumblings about it, 1:33:10.120 --> 1:33:13.560 if the deal goes down, because literally Aruba is you 1:33:13.680 --> 1:33:15.960 could almost Seevenzuela. 1:33:15.120 --> 1:33:16.840 From there right off the right there. 1:33:16.920 --> 1:33:21.160 Yeah, And so I'm like, if the deal goes down, 1:33:21.200 --> 1:33:23.720 we're going to be here a while because so I 1:33:23.720 --> 1:33:26.840 can understand exactly why these people must be going through. 1:33:27.479 --> 1:33:29.320 Yeah, I mean it's crazy now that they're going to 1:33:29.400 --> 1:33:32.000 people with boats and being like, hey, what would you 1:33:32.520 --> 1:33:35.880 charge me to bring me to Puerto Rico or somewhere else? 1:33:35.880 --> 1:33:37.960 Because Puerto Rico has most lights. That's where American is 1:33:38.040 --> 1:33:40.960 lying in the triple sevens, and the people are now 1:33:41.000 --> 1:33:43.400 going that route. But it is a mess. Yeah, it's 1:33:43.439 --> 1:33:47.200 not like it would have been if Chicago or Denver 1:33:47.280 --> 1:33:49.360 were shut down and then the airline is all messed 1:33:49.400 --> 1:33:51.240 up for days. The airline was able just to start 1:33:51.280 --> 1:33:53.240 up the flights again, but all of those flights were 1:33:53.240 --> 1:33:55.679 already full. So you know, if you've got a seven 1:33:55.760 --> 1:33:57.679 thirty seven going, well, let's say one hundred and sixty 1:33:57.680 --> 1:34:00.360 passengers on it, but every one of those seats are full, 1:34:00.520 --> 1:34:02.479 what do you do unless you bring in bigger planes, 1:34:02.560 --> 1:34:05.120 You wait until some flight over the next couple of 1:34:05.160 --> 1:34:06.760 weeks has a seat on it to put you on. 1:34:08.080 --> 1:34:12.120 All right, with the with that, God bless those people, well, 1:34:12.240 --> 1:34:14.960 you know that must be. It might suck to be 1:34:15.240 --> 1:34:18.760 trapped in the Caribbean this time of year if you 1:34:18.840 --> 1:34:22.559 live in Ohio like the one guy was. But still, yeah, 1:34:22.560 --> 1:34:25.479 I'll go whatever, just sleep on the floor. You're fine, Alex. 1:34:25.560 --> 1:34:29.240 We appreciate it, man, you got it.
