1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: A calm freshing from La La Land haunts on.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 2: How are we looking?

3
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:03,920

00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: You were just telling me you were driving around Beverly Hills.

Speaker 4: before one of those games, and I just took a

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 4: drive out there and you know, just drove around Rodeo drive.

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: That whole world just fascinate.

Speaker 1: I mean, so hey, Skinny, Uh, wouldn't it be nice

Speaker 1: head out to Beverly Hills and Malibu and all that

18
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: j Simpson's old estate, hang out at Oja Simpson's house.

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: Oh cool, must be that guy.

20
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 5: Then have yeah, they have it down and watching bad

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 5: baseball after that?

22
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, now I assume it's again. You have been to

23
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium. Yes, yes, see now obviously Jason was there.

24
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: The best that is on my bucket list. That's a

25
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: one ballpark I've always wanted to go to. You guys,

26
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: tell me is it worth a trip?

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 6: Yeah?

28
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 5: I mean it's it's it's history. I mean, the one

29
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 5: ballpark I haven't been to that I can't believe I

30
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 5: have been to a Sunway Park. That's the one that

31
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 5: I still have never gotten a chance to cover a

32
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 5: game or go watch a game in.

33
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been there a couple of times. It's yeah,

34
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: it's it's as cool as you think it might being.

35
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 4: So I think I've been telling my son, my older

36
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 4: son read this like, I was like, we're going to

37
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 4: We've been doing these baseball stadium tours and Dodger Stadium

38
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 4: is the number one, because, in my mind, Dodger Stadium

39
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 4: is the absolute best ballpark in baseball to watch a game,

40
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 4: the whole. It's just it's unique. It's unlike any place

41
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 4: else in baseball. The landscaping, the lush landscaping, this place

42
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: still looks like brand new when it opened in nineteen

43
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 4: sixty two.

44
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: And the way they keep that place ballpark.

45
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's an old ballpark and you could eat.

46
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: Off the floor, off the concourse floor, that's how clean.

47
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, isn't it kind of a pain?

48
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: And they asked to get in an out there.

49
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 5: It can be. I mean, if you're working, like Jason was,

50
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 5: the parking is going to all be gone by the

51
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 5: time you're done with your work. So as a fan, yes,

52
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 5: but if you're working it not so much just because.

53
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: You're done working. Yeah, exactly.

54
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: So it was skinny. Let's talk about what happened out

55
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: in La I heard Willie talking with Seg and Rocky

56
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 1: and I talked about it later or yeah, yesterday, and

57
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: Jason and I have talked about it. It's just what

58
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: needs to happen. We a, you need some clutch hitting

59
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: and things need the chess pieces need to be moved around.

60
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 5: Yes, I wrote a red column today and it kind

61
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 5: of mimiced I think Jason's column. I didn't mean it too,

62
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 5: but it's it's pretty much the story of what you

63
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 5: need to do in this off to you and that

64
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 5: you got to hit a big bat in the middle

65
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 5: of lineup. You know. Ellie de la Cruz led this

66
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 5: team in home runs this year with twenty two. Only

67
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 5: one other guy on the team hit more than sixteen

68
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 5: home runs, that with Spencer Steeer. So you need a

69
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 5: big bat in the lineup where you put that big back.

70
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 5: I don't know, but you just need to go get one.

71
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 5: And I think that will help Ellie. I think that

72
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 5: will help add the Ellie's production. You just here's the

73
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 5: thing you can't do. You just can't bring the band

74
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 5: back and go these guys are going to be better

75
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 5: just because if they are better, great, If Matt mcains

76
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 5: is the Matt mclan's twenty twenty three, great, but I

77
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 5: can't count on it. If Ellie La Cruz suddenly becomes

78
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 5: the forty home run guy, I think we all projected great,

79
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 5: but right now I can't count on it. If Noble

80
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 5: Marte hits like you did in July and August, great,

81
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 5: but I can't count on it. So I think the

82
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 5: bottom liyes, go get a big bat.

83
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 4: I totally agree with you. However, however way you do that.

84
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 4: I mean you think back at the Reds and I

85
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: you know you can't do the whole get the band

86
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 4: back together. You can't look at this and say, oh,

87
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: you know it's the first it's the first step. Yeah,

88
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 4: you know that this same core team will get there.

89
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: That's pretty that's kind of a bank attitude, to be

90
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 4: honest with you.

91
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: To me, you're right.

92
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 4: I think however, way they're going to do that, you know,

93
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: whether that's to go out. You know, think about the

94
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: Joey Vada They never spent the Joey Vado money. Really,

95
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 4: I mean, the Joey Vado money got off the books.

96
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: And you know, the only the only guy, the only

97
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 4: guy who made it.

98
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: Nick Martinez money. He's made out.

99
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 4: He was the only guy who made what eight figures

100
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 4: this year, I believe. And so even to like, if

101
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: you trade Hunter Green, that frees up some money, uh,

102
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 4: you know, and then do you get prospects for him

103
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: and maybe a veteran you know, four or five pitcher

104
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 4: and then use some of that money to go out

105
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 4: and free agency. It is going to be hard and uh,

106
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 4: you know, the front office is kind of and there's

107
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 4: been discussions, you know, with reporters and stuff that it

108
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 4: is going to be hard for them to go, oh,

109
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 4: you know what, we'll trade Hunter Green for some big

110
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 4: bat that that's going to be tough to do.

111
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 7: Uh.

112
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 4: But there's a lot there's a lot of things that

113
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 4: need to be done here and you know, and Brandtley

114
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: talked about out of how there's got to be some

115
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 4: big changes and it's not just getting that bad, it's

116
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 4: it's some of these other things that you got to

117
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 4: kind of maneuver around. What are you gonna do with Ellie?

118
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 4: And we could go on and on here.

119
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, what are you gonna do with south Stewart?

120
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: Where is he gonna play bingo?

121
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: Exactly?

122
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 5: Are you going to bring some competition in for for

123
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 5: Matt McClain? Can you carry key Brian Hayes' back? You

124
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 5: know every day one?

125
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 7: Right there?

126
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: I think no one's really talking about.

127
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 4: But like you're like, okay, if you're trying to figure

128
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 4: out if Spencer Steer, who's waterline gold glove at first base?

129
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 2: Uh?

130
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 4: You know, and you want to play South Stewart with

131
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 4: his bat every every day? Like where does Keith Brian

132
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 4: Hayes really fit in? They like him obviously fits that whole,

133
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 4: you know, defense and pitching philosophy, but wolf on that

134
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 4: on that bat, I was.

135
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: Gonna say, what are you going to carry a huge

136
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: twenty hitter? You know they got too many?

137
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 5: Right?

138
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you only got a couple of them. Okay, you

139
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 4: know he's didn't find it number nine.

140
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: So Skinny, let's just switch gears here and talk about

141
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: our Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, the Lions coming to town.

142
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: What kind of hope do is there for this game?

143
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: What would you Let's face it, I don't think they're

144
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: going to beat the Detroit Lions. I mean, I'll just

145
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: let's come out and say it right there. What would

146
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: you like to see happen though.

147
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 5: The offense executed a higher level. I mean, listen, I

148
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 5: know everybody's pointing the finger Jake Browning at the moment.

149
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: That's fine.

150
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 5: He hasn't played very well. Let's not forget Joe Burrow

151
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 5: played the full game in the opener, and they had

152
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 5: one hundred and forty one yards total offense with Joe Burrow.

153
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 5: So this to me is an offense issue. This isn't

154
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 5: just a Jake Browning issue. They don't block very well,

155
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 5: they don't run very well. I don't think they've schemed

156
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 5: Jake properly. I think they've been way too tentative with

157
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 5: him and too cautious with him. So yeah, I'd like

158
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 5: to see the offense execute better. I don't think the

159
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 5: defense stops Detroit, so I to your point, I don't

160
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 5: think they beat Detroit either, but I want to see

161
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 5: the offense execute at a higher level.

162
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 4: Is it a half point difference.

163
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 2: With the Lions there, you.

164
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 5: Know that's a big spread in the NFL. I mean,

165
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 5: I would, I know everybody can just look at all

166
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 5: this will be an easy Lions game. It's the NFL. Man.

167
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 5: Last night, you know, the Lams were an eight and

168
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 5: a half point favorite at home over a wounded San Francisco team,

169
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 5: and San Francisco went in there and beat them. So

170
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 5: strange things happen in this league sometimes. You know, the

171
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 5: Minnesota game, you had three plays, three plays out of

172
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 5: four were turnovers. Just sometimes things happen, especially on the

173
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 5: road in the NFL. It's a great team. I think

174
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 5: Detroyd's super. They got everything they got. They got great

175
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 5: pass rush, they got great defense, they got getting stopped

176
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 5: the run. They got a great running game, and they

177
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 5: got great play action passing off the off the running game.

178
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 5: They got deep threats everywhere, got great offensive line there.

179
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: Coaching, coaching, yes.

180
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 4: Skinny, when you going back to that offense, is it is.

181
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: It a scheme thing? So coaching?

182
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 4: Is it a execution thing from the players? Is it

183
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 4: a talent lack of you know, all of the above.

184
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: What do you kind of.

185
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 5: I think it. Yeah, I think a little all the above.

186
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 5: I mean, look, you signed Orlando Brown when he's a

187
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 5: Pro Bowl caliber player. He's not that.

188
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 7: Player any longer.

189
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 5: I don't know that the injury from last year has

190
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 5: taken that away from him. Ted Carris is a he's

191
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 5: an okay center. I mean, he's never been anything great,

192
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 5: but he's an okay and he looks like he's kind

193
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 5: of aging before our eyes. And let's not forget you.

194
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: Got two rookie guards.

195
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 5: I'm starting two rookie guards, and your right tack ma

196
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 5: Marius Mims is actually kind of regressed. Now. Could that

197
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 5: be the new offensive line coach Scott Peters being a failure? Maybe?

198
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 5: I certainly haven't seen progress from ma Marius Mims. I

199
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 5: haven't seen this group get better. I've seen them regress.

200
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 5: And again, is that guy's individually aging or in some

201
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 5: cases being too young because they haven't seen enough in

202
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 5: the face of the two rookie guards, or is it

203
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 5: just straight out coaching. I don't know the answer to that.

204
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: We're talking to Richard Skinner Local twelve and guys, well

205
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: both of you, and let's talk about the quarterback situation. Skeinny,

206
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: you just said, you know, it's not Jake Browning's fault,

207
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: and it's and it's well, obviously some of it is,

208
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: but to a great guy is it is not? But

209
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: let's talk about if he lays a giant egg this Sunday.

210
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: Look at what happened in Cleveland. They're playing in London,

211
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: starting a rookie quarterback over over Flacco. When is enoughing

212
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: enough here in town? And who takes Jake Browning's place

213
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: if it indeed does come to.

214
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 5: That, I just don't think there is that guy. I know,

215
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 5: Wilson Fine for Jameis Winston, it will be the backup

216
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 5: Brett Rippon. Brett Rippon is a practice squad caliber quarterback,

217
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 5: is a backup at the moment. By the fault, I

218
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 5: don't think there is one.

219
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: I just don't.

220
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's you got to ride with Jake Browning.

221
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 5: You know, I asked Jake Dodani's press conference, you know

222
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 5: what's the difference between right now with the offense and

223
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 5: when it was in twenty twenty three when he was

224
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 5: playing really well in No. Seven starts? And he didn't

225
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 5: give me a great answer. He said, well, the one

226
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 5: game in the screen game and maybe that's what it is.

227
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 5: They haven't run the ball, and I think Jake strengths

228
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 5: are not staying in the shotgun like Joe Burrow in

229
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 5: processing things. I think Jake strengths are getting under center

230
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 5: play action bootlegs. Well, guess what doesn't work? Guess from

231
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 5: play action and boot legs don't work. They don't work

232
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 5: when you can't run the ball. So you're kicking that

233
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 5: away from him. So I think, again, Jake does not

234
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 5: play well. You know, he made a couple of bad

235
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 5: deep throws Monday night that he should have connected on it,

236
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 5: and he didn't. So again, I don't want to absolve

237
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 5: him a blame, but listen, that's the whole operation at

238
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 5: the moment, and I think it honestly starts with the

239
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 5: run game.

240
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: All right, with that skinny, we will let you go, buddy,

241
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: what's going on this weekend as far as as high

242
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: school football goes? Any good games?

243
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 7: Oh?

244
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 5: I got? Oh, yes, you had Moller Elder tonight at

245
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 5: the pit. You got Cubcats Highlands tonight over in Northern Kentucky.

246
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 5: You got Anderson Turpin, the neighborhood rivalry. Anderson's having a

247
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 5: great season. Turpin's actually having a very nice season. Yeah,

248
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 5: there's some good games all over town across the river

249
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 5: in northern Kentucky too.

250
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: Week seven, right, Week seven, All right, buddy, thanks so

251
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: much our good friend Richard Skinner Local twelve. And yeah,

252
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: that's what nobody, nobody's talking about. That's the elephant in

253
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: the room there. As far as the Bengals quarterback issue goes,

254
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: it's Browning or nothing pretty much, right.

255
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 4: I've always thought that, and now I know fans are

256
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 4: going to be fans, and but I mean, Russell Wilson,

257
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 4: Jameis Winston, those guys aren't any better than Jake Browning.

258
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 4: And then it's it's look, these problems are much much

259
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: deeper than Jake Browning.

260
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't matter who's standing.

261
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 2: Behind that line. Bingo, right boom.

262
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: With that, we check in with traffic and weather, what

263
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,920

279
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: A because I've only been there kind of like you.

280
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: I was there on a radio thing one time, and

281
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: the guy was with my old buddy Steve Cage. We

282
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 1: did what you did and rented a car. We had

283
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,359
Speaker 1: an afternoon free. We rented a car and went out

284
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: driving around. We drove out to Malibu. Yeah, I think

285
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: we went down to Venice Beach and walked around and

286
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: liked at all that goofiness. But yeah, that was about

287
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: the site. It's just something to see, you know. It's weird,

288
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: but it's yeah, it really is different.

289
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 4: And where I was going, it's not that far from

290
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,599
Speaker 4: Dodger Stadium, although you know, with traffic it takes you

291
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 4: a while to get there. But so so a couple

292
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 4: of things. I am fast. I was just fascinated with

293
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 4: the o json I for what And I know I'm

294
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 4: not alone in that, but everything it's ever been done,

295
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 4: documentary wise, shows, anything I've ever I watched. I've read

296
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 4: books on it, and I'm not a tip I'm not

297
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 4: I'm not a huge book reader, but I've read like

298
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 4: Christopher Darden's book and yeah, it's like, uh and so

299
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 4: I'm you know, I just whatever was at Wednesday.

300
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 2: Maybe I was like, I'm gonna get out.

301
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 4: I gotta get out, and just kind of you know,

302
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 4: it's late night games. You're you're grinding through those late games,

00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 4: and so I'm like, you know, I gotta get out.

304

Speaker 2: I'll drive down there, just drive around.

305
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 4: I was like, and I certainly this is It's unlike me.

306
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 4: I'm not a gawker kind of person, but I like

307
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 4: I went to the I went to the Bundy place

308
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,160

310
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,240

311
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 4: just driving through a neighborhood. The Bundy area wasn't it's

312
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 4: not it's not what you would think. It's not super nice,

313
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 4: it's not super terrible, but uh, certainly the Rockingham area

314
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 4: and then that in that mansion, like the oj mansion

315
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 4: was torn down, and so there's a new mansion there.

316
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 4: Now you can't really say it's just a big wall.

317
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 4: And and really that's what Beverly like, that whole area,

342
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,400

343
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,160

00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: You don't want to be.

362
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 4: You don't want to be that person in that in

363
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 4: that tour bus thing, because you see those driving by,

364
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 4: and I'm just like, uh, I'm like, see them in

365
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 4: my discreete little Hyundai Kona rental car. No one knows

366
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 4: that I'm doing the same thing those people are doing.

367
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 4: But I'm not, like, yeah, I'm not. I'm not looking

368
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 4: like I'm not wearing a Hawaiian shirt and in an

369
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 4: open air bus, looking like with my camera.

370
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: So they still have those things. Yeah, where you stars homes?

371
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, that's exactly. I saw three or four of

372
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: them driving around there.

373
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: They still have those people on the where you can

374
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 1: buy a map of you can do it on your own. Remember,

375
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably yeah, I remember seeing you know,

376
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: I've seen it in the movie, So it must be true. Uh,

377
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: where there would be like somebody with their little stand

378
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: there and you buy a map of the stars Homes

379
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: and drive around and look at the wall in front

380
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: of the house where you know whatever, that's what you'll

381
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: be looking at it and be looking at the wall, right, Yeah,

382
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: well that's what would be. That's what I always wonder

383
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: with these with the people who did that. Again, I

384
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: never have been to LA. I was, what, when you're

385
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: taking one of those tours, do you really think that whatever,

386
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: like I said, Kevin Costner, is gonna be standing on

387
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: those front port.

388
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 2: Going, hey, what's on.

389
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: Come out in high five years you're driving by?

390
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 4: Or I'm more interested in not really where the start,

391
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 4: but who lives in these other houses that aren't famous people,

392
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 4: but you know, and they're they're TV executives and that network.

393
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 4: You know, the folks that make the movies and behind

394
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 4: the scenes for a lot. That's a lot of those

395
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 4: folks that live there, or guys that whatever work for Apple.

396
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: And I'm sure almost everybody in LA is probably in

397
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: the business and some like you're saying producers.

398
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 2: And the show business business.

399
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: Yes, that whole end of it.

400
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 5: Yep.

401
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: But uh, I'll tell you, man, just what little experience

402
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: I've had in being in LA. I guess that I'm

403
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: just there on a radio thing. I was there for

404
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: a weekend and just trying to get around La would

405
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: drive me freaking insane.

406
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 4: Yes, you have to have some patience, and it's you

407
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 4: gotta be, you know, just the time of day two depends.

408
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 4: I I I hit a little bit of a wall

409
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 4: there driving back from Beverly Hills. I went just straight

410
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 4: from that area down Santa Monica to the Dodger Stadium,

411
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 4: and it got a little you know, because these were

412
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 4: these were city streets, Sunset Boulevard, that whole area, trying

413
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 4: to go and I ended up obviously on Sunset and

414
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 4: the next thing I know, I'm up the hill in

415
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 4: the shop, I'm in the in Shavez Revine. I'm like, well,

416
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 4: I didn't realize it was I'm here. And when Pete,

417
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 4: by the way, you know you hear the Chavez Ravine

418
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 4: literally for anyone who you know has never been there

419
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 4: or would love to go there. So I mean, the

420
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 4: stadium is built in a Chavez Ravine is a canyon,

421
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 4: and the stadium is built into the site of this canyon.

422
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 4: And it's not a huge canyon, but it's certainly big

423
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 4: enough to have a what a five deck stadium. I

424
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 4: think it's five decks four Seeing like I told you

425
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 4: there's that's that there's definitely. I never got to see

426
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 4: the old Dodger or the old Yankee Stadium. I got

427
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 4: to see that, yet I wanted to. I definitely Dodger

428
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 4: Stadium much much better.

429
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: Is that right?

430
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: Yoh yeah, I always wanted to see the old Yankee Stadium.

431
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: I want to see Dodgers Stadium. I got to go

432
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: to Candlestick Park out in San frances I never got

433
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: to go there, and the boy, that was a dump.

434
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: And I got to go to the new San Francisco Stadium,

435
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: the coolest ballpark I've ever been.

436
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 2: In my life. I heard that one's awesome.

437
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: And if you've never been to Fenway Park, Fenway Park

438
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: is almost exactly like Wriggleyfield.

439
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 4: Fenway is awesome. Never been to Wrigley, but I've been

440
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 4: to Fenway. I've covered, I've worked at Fenway, and I've

441
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 4: also gone as a fan. We just went as a

442
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 4: fan this summer. I want to say this too. I

443
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 4: feel like when it comes to Dodger Stadium, there is

444
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 4: and I've heard seeing Diego is similar. But you think

445
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 4: about energy, it's like NFL football caliber energy in that stadium.

446
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 4: It's do you feel a constant buzz there that you

447
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 4: don't typically feel, certainly here in Cincinnati. And I'm not

448
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 4: criticizing Cincinnati. I know a lot of ballparks don't have that,

449
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 4: but Dodger Stadium does. With that, we are going to

450
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 4: be talking to John Matttery's coming up. But now we've

451
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 4: got traffic and weather. What is going back with?

452
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,800

00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 7: and you know, everybody wants those Reese's peanut butter cups.

470
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 7: They're by far the most popular, you know. And then

00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 7: we were we were in Kroger. Four ninety nine is

473
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 7: the current price of a small snack bag. I mean

474
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 7: a few years ago, those are like two seventy five.

475
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 7: You know, yeah, there four nine five bucks went over

476
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 7: to Walmart. There are also five bucks over at Walmart.

477
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 7: And this is a small bag. I mean, if you're

478
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 7: in a busy neighborhood that has a lot of kids,

479
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 7: Oh that'll that little bag will last year about ten minutes.

480
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, how many peas are in it? I'm just curious.

481
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 7: Not too many. Like you get thirty pieces or something.

482
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 7: Then you have the bigger bags and you're like, okay,

483
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 7: well let's get some of the bigger bags. Well those

484
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 7: are fifteen or twenty dollars for the bigger bag, and

485
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 7: you get a lot more pieces. But before you know it,

486
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 7: you've spent you sent over one hundred bucks for your candy.

487
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 7: And you're hoping that's all you need. You're hoping it's

488
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 7: not a beautiful night and you got to say, honey,

489
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 7: run out to Walgreens cause we're running low and it's

490
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 7: only six fifteen. Yeah, no, it's just crazy how expensive

491
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 7: it's skiddy.

492
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 4: I think John, last year we did the same segment

493
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 4: and it had gone up on the previous year.

494
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 2: Now it's going up again. And where does this stop at?

495
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 5: Yeah?

496
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, well it's a lot of factors. A lot of

497
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 7: is the cocoa prices. You've been hearing that. We've been

498
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 7: hearing that all year at the cocoa prices are up,

499
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 7: just like coffee beans because I drink a lot of coffee,

500
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 7: that's getting expensive. And the candy prices, the chocolate prices

501
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 7: are up. So question is people are saying, like, well

502
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 7: can I do about it? But one thing is be

503
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 7: cheap like John Mattaison, and don't buy the chocolate. You know,

504
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 7: give them the the nerds and give them the kiddle

505
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 7: and that's exactly.

506
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: Give them to Smartie, get one of those little just

507
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: throw one smart Yeah.

508
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, just just don't be like grandma and give them

509
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 7: a penny.

00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 2: Here you go, here's an.

Speaker 7: Yeah, don't get I'm not even I'm not even that cheap.

00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 7: some of the some of the other candies. Here's now

515
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 7: something though, that I would say, I would say, don't

516
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 7: buy your candy this weekend. Do not. You're gonna be tempted.

517
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 7: I know you're gonna be out in Kroger Walmart this weekend.

518
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 7: It's like, honey, we better start stocking up on this.

519
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 7: I would not buy it this weekend. And here's why.

520
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 7: Next week there are a bunch of big sales. There's

521
00:24:55,080 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 7: a Walmarts deals going on. There's Amazon's October Prime Days

522
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 7: going on. Target has a Circle week going on, So

523
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 7: the big fall sales are actually happening. Next week, you're

524
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 7: gonna find candy markdowns and a lot of people don't

525
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 7: think of buying candy on Amazon. Check it out. You

526
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 7: may find some really good deal. So that's going on

527
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 7: next week. Here's the magic day. You got to wait

528
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 7: a while for it. October fifteenth. Okay, we're talking almost

529
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 7: almost two weeks, just under two weeks. October fifteenth, that's

530
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 7: when Kroger holds its annual candy sale that goes on

531
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 7: for four days. They do it every year, and they

532
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 7: mark down candy about thirty to thirty five percent. It

533
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 7: used to be fifty percent off. Now it's about thirty

534
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 7: to thirty five percent off, but it's still a really

535
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 7: good deal.

536
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 2: So those four.

537
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 7: Ninety nine bags, you know, those would be down to

538
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 7: you know, three ninety nine or something. Basically, October fifteenth

539
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 7: is the key date for Kroger, so you might want

540
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 7: to hold off for that. You might want to check

541
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 7: some stuff online. I have a whole story on my

00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 7: What's what the non refundable stuff going on these days?

561
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 7: As far as I've done some travel lately, had a

562
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 7: college reunion, went in to see mom, and I tell you,

563
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 7: you go to buy an airfare now, and it's like, oh,

564
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 7: you could spend four hundred dollars or you could spend

565
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 7: three hundred dollars for the non refundable Basic economy. You

566
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 7: guys flow basic economy.

567
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: Oh I've done.

568
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 7: Oh miserable. You know you're the last people to board.

569
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 7: You don't get a seat, Like you go to the airport,

570
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 7: you have no idea what your seat is. Then they're like, oh,

571
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 7: you can't put your bag in the overhead bin, right,

572
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 7: I mean, it's just awful and it's non refundable. Mean

573
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 7: you can't change it. You got you got a seat

574
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 7: on the flight. And if you want to change it now,

575
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 7: baby nah, because you bought Basic economy. Hotels are doing

576
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 7: the exact same thing now with prepay you can get

577
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 7: that hotel room for one hundred and seventy five a

578
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 7: night or one hundred and twenty five a night if

579
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 7: you prepay no changes, And it's becoming a real dilemma

580
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 7: because you're like, Okay, I think I'm going away this weekend.

581
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 7: You know, I might want to go see, you know,

582
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 7: a UC game out of town, or just visit family

583
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 7: or something. But it's like, what if I need to

584
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 7: change something?

585
00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: Life happens, you know, right, Yeah, that's that happened, big case.

586
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: And we flew over to London with our sons and

587
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: I had already I had pre paid for hotel rooms. Well,

588
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: they canceled our flight, so we had to fly out

589
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: all the next morning. Well that that night was dead.

590
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: So I, you know, I call the people and try

591
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: to convince them like a victim of circumstances. They're like, no,

592
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm a non refundable. There you go.

593
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, watch out, watch out for that non refundabal Yes,

594
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,479
Speaker 7: especially for a big vacation. If you're going to do it,

595
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 7: the thing to do is pay for that. We'll extra

596
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 7: for that. Travel insurance usually fly twenty five bucks. You

597
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 7: can get that alliance travel insurance to a lot of

598
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 7: airlines that'll cover if something happens. Otherwise you get stuck

599
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 7: paying that hotel room, your flight's late, you still pay

600
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 7: two hundred bucks for that hotel room. So it's one

601
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 7: of those things where they're really pushing this non refundable

602
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 7: travel anymore to save money because they love it. Airlines

603
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 7: and hotels of it, because they're being paid in advance,

604
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 7: and they know you can't change anything because they're getting

605
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 7: pretty But I tell you, if you need to make

606
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 7: any changes, it's.

607
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 3: Just it's just horrible.

608
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 2: And it's a debate.

609
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 7: You know, I'm booking a flight. Do I spend another

610
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 7: fifty bucks for a refundable changeable flight? I don't know,

611
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 7: But you know, I don't know about you guys. I

612
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 7: want a seat. I hate getting down to the gate

613
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 7: and I don't have a seat yet. I don't know

614
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 7: if I'm sitting. And then you end up, you know,

615
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 7: the seat right at the bathroom door. That's the most

616
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 7: pleasant flight you will ever have.

617
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: Or between two big, giant fat people and both of

618
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: them holding babies, crying babies.

619
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 7: Yes, in the middle seat, yeah, in the middle seat,

620
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 7: next to the crying baby and the giant guy who's

621
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 7: like Norm from Cheers.

622
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 9: Uh.

623
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 7: And then you're back by the by the bathroom with

624
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 7: that door flap and open his shut every two minutes.

625
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 5: And now you just love that.

626
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: Well, between all that, you know, if we didn't have

627
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: stuff to complain about, John, you'd be out of work.

628
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 7: You know what. That's the beauty, you know the fact

629
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 7: that there's something to complain about and somebody getting steamed

630
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 7: every page. I hate it, but you know it gives

631
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 7: me things to talk about. So guys, have a great weekend.

632
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: Don't waste your money, all right, thanks Sean.

633
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: So coming up here next, we're going to be talking

634
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: to the Lions beat reporter from the Detroit Free Press about, Uh,

635
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: I've heard something about this team being pretty good the

636
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: Detroit I watched them against Baltimore a few weeks ago, dismantled.

637
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean, just put it on that. I'm like, oh,

638
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm from and again Baltimore a pretty good team.

639
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: They haven't put it all together yet, but you know that,

640
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: and you know around about yeah, right, but we'll we'll

641
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: talk about the Lions coming to town. But right now

642
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: we've got the news news radio seven hundred w l

643
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: W boys an orange.

644
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think every Sunday from here on out it's

645
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: going to be that. Certainly, this one.

646
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: Is rage, you might be right here to discuss what's

647
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: going on with the Lions, and if you know anything

648
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: about the Lions, they're apparently pretty damn good. Let's talk

649
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: to a guy who knows he's the longtime beat reporter

650
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: from the Detroit pre Press covering the Lions. He is

651
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: Dave Briquette. Dave, welcome to the program.

652
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 3: I appreciate you guys having me.

653
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 2: How are you, hey, Dave?

654
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: We're doing great, so, Dave, things are looking pretty good

655
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: in the Motor City these days. The Tigers advanced yesterday

656
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: the Lions on a real role. That'd be good times

657
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: to be a sports reporter.

658
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean Detroit sports is a little bit

659
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 3: of a resurgence here. I guess right, Tigers, they look

660
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 3: like they might blow it there for a minute, the

661
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 3: way they finished the season, but I guess came back

662
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 3: at the right time and not. The Lions are clearly,

663
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 3: you know, one of the best teams in football, so

664
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 3: you know they've been playing like it the last three weeks.

665
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: Well, that's true. We were talking earlier, Jason and I

666
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: were talking about watching them because obviously we know a

667
00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: lot about divisional rival here the Raven and watching what

668
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: the Lions did to the Ravens was it last week

669
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, and they pretty much dismantled a very

670
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: good football team. What all has because apparently everything is

671
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: going right for this Lion's team.

672
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean, look, the reality is is they've

673
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 3: been on the upticks since you know, Dan Campbell and

674
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 3: Bradhlmes took over in twenty twenty one, and it took

675
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 3: a while to get there. But the last couple of

676
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 3: years they've had, you know, as good an offense as

677
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: there's been in the league. And that's that's certainly the case.

678
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 3: Still now they returned just about everyone. Jared Goff's playing

679
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 3: great football. I mean, I think he's got career highs

680
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 3: and completion percentage and you know, quarterback rating and some

681
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: of those stats are just really really efficient. I'm and

682
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 3: around Saint Brown is you know, coming off two straight

683
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 3: all Pro seasons at receiver, they got a good running game,

684
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 3: good offensive line, so the offense has really carried them.

685
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 3: And then this year defensively, you know, they battled so

686
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 3: many injuries on that side of the ball last year.

687
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 3: They stayed healthy this year and it showed. I mean,

688
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 3: they they lead the NFL and sack rate, and they've

689
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 3: just played pretty good football. They started to get some

690
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 3: some takeaways. So they're doing a lot of things well

691
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 3: right now.

692
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 4: Davey, you touched on it there with the hiring of

693
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 4: Dan Campbell and back in twenty twenty one, that was

694
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 4: one of the questions I wanted to ask you. Was

695
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 4: you know, for years and years and years obviously the

696
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 4: Lions were, you know, the butt of the butt of

697
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 4: along with the Bengals, the butt of so many jokes

698
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 4: in the NFL. And what I mean, even more on

699
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 4: a detailed level, was it just the hiring of Dan

700
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 4: Campbell or was it they just changed their way they

701
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 4: drafted players, the way they evaluated players. What what was

702
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 4: that kind of turning point to Now this team is?

703
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 4: This team is tough, Like you just went through everything,

704
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 4: I mean, there is strength across the board on this team.

705
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, they you know, Dan is a

706
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 3: huge part of it, you know, just the you know,

707
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 3: the leader that he is, right there's a lot of

708
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 3: people that swear by him in the building and you

709
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 3: know around the league frankly, and some are things that

710
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 3: he's done, so he's he's done a great job. But

711
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 3: you know, the reality is like they have one of

712
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 3: the handful of best rosters in the NFL, and you

713
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 3: know they've they've benefited from, you know, good fortune of

714
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,479
Speaker 3: players like you know, Panay Sewel in that twenty twenty

715
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 3: one draft fall into them. He's probably the best right

716
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 3: tackle on football right now. And Aiden Hushington with the

717
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 3: number two pick of the twenty twenty two drafts, you know,

718
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 3: a redraft. Both those guys are probably going number one

719
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 3: in their drafts. And you know, the Lions weren't picking

720
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 3: first and got them. And they've been able to not

721
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 3: just those guys, they've been able to draft well in

722
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 3: the middle rounds too. And you know, when you have

723
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 3: the type of talent that they do and the ability

724
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 3: to withstand injuries and then the culture on top of it,

725
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 3: you know that it's sort of self explanatory way. You know,

726
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 3: they've been able to put together a couple of straight

727
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 3: double digit, you know, win seasons and are certainly trending

728
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 3: towards another one.

729
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: Dave Brikett from the Detroit Free Press is our guest

730
00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: as our guest, and Dave, how about Jared Golf. I mean,

731
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: he's always been good, but man, he's and he's clicked

732
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: up one or two levels since he came to Detroit.

733
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: In your mind, is there a reason for that or

734
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: just okay, it's his time.

735
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 3: No, you know, I mean I think a lot of people,

736
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 3: myself included probably Chuck. Someone's it up to you know,

737
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson and the offense that he was in and

738
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 3: some of the things that he was doing the last

739
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 3: couple of years. And it's really the same offense, new

740
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 3: new play caller, new offensive coordinator. But I think it's

741
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 3: you know, he's he's opened some people's eyes that it's

742
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 3: not that it's not just the system, it's you know,

743
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 3: he's the the way that he's playing football is sort

744
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 3: of a you know, I mean not just sort of,

745
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 3: it's it's a credit to him, and you know, he

746
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 3: deserves a lot of a lot of credit for the

747
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 3: improvements he's made in his game. You Know, Mark Brunell,

748
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 3: the Lions quarterbacks coach, said something today. He said, you know,

749
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 3: the three things we sort of asked you know, Jerry

750
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 3: to do and really are are keys to leaning our

751
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 3: you know, getting in the right play, not turning the

752
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 3: ball over, in completing passes. And it sounds really simple,

753
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 3: but that's what the Lions have done, and that's what

754
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 3: Jared's done. They you know, they protected him really well.

755
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 3: He doesn't turn the ball over. You know, he's got

756
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 3: multiple dependable receivers, but specifically a guy like Saint Brown

757
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 3: who catches everything thrown his way. And and then you

758
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 3: know he's he's learned and he's talked about this that

759
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 3: he doesn't always have to hit the big play. He

760
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: can he can trust his skill guys to make something

761
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 3: out of that checkdown when it's there. And so that's

762
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: a big part of why the Lions, you know, seem

763
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 3: to score all the just about every time they touched.

764
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 4: Them all Davey, you hit on it there that they

765
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 4: protect golf really well. And when I think the Lions,

766
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 4: I just think that, you know, this is a this

767
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 4: is a mean, tough team, and that they're good in

768
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 4: the trenches. Obviously Aiden Hutchinson's good, but you know, they're

769
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 4: good on the defensive line and they're good on the

770
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 4: offensive line. You remember when that was was that part

771
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 4: of Dan Campbell's really that all changed to. I know

772
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 4: you talked about Pinney Sewel. The Bengals passed them by

773
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 4: the way they did get Jamar Chase.

774
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was gonna say they got a guy

775
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: called from Mark Chase. Yeah, not too shabby. But and

776
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: you don't even know I'm sorry didn't rub, but Dave,

777
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: you don't even know the rigamar role that went on

778
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: here when they passed on Seoul and took Chase because

779
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: people were just convinced it was going to be Seuel.

780
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 4: But this is I mean, you're right, but this is

781
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 4: the David's the tale of two teams here. I mean,

782
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 4: this is you know, they've talked about it for years

783
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 4: here and I'm the columnist for the since a Choir

784
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 4: and the Trenches. Their offensive line is not good, their

785
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 4: defensive line is weak. And you go over on the

786
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 4: other side on Sunday here and that that's an example

787
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 4: of you build, you build your team and you're winning

788
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 4: team from the trenches out and the Lions, uh, you

789
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 4: know certainly have that and can you can you talk

790
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 4: about just how good they are up there?

791
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:50,479
Speaker 5: Yeah?

792
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 3: And I mean so two things I talked to Panay

793
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 3: about that this week, right, I mean we sort of

794
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 3: know the storyline too, that a lot of people thought

795
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 3: the Bengals would take Sewel and Sewell said he he

796
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 3: was going to Cincinnati and draft day, and you know,

797
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 3: there's no like animosity, but you know, he just said, hey,

798
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 3: it didn't happen, and look how it works out right,

799
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 3: I'm happy to be here. But the reality is is

800
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 3: like that was the philosophy that you know, Brad Holmes

801
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 3: and Dan Campbell, but Brad Holmes brought with him. I remember,

802
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 3: you know, that was Brad's first draft of Lions GM. Right,

803
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 3: it was twenty twenty one. He was still in a hotel,

804
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 3: just you know, outside the facility, and I went that morning.

805
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: I wanted to get in the draft room. They wouldn't

806
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 3: let me in the draft room. But I was like, hey,

807
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 3: you know, big draft is something that I'll set the

808
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:35,919
Speaker 3: home for the franchise. And I went and sat down

809
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 3: with them at this hotel that morning and we talked

810
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 3: about this and he told me he didn't, you know,

811
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 3: tell me who they wanted or what they did, but

812
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 3: he said, look, we want to. He said, when I

813
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 3: was with the Rams, we built this defensive line and

814
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 3: we just stacked these players, right.

815
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 5: It was.

816
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 3: It was Michael Brockers and Aaron Donald and Robert Quinn

817
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 3: and they took him one after another and it didn't

818
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 3: matter that they had multiple linement already. They just figured, like,

819
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 3: we want to His words were, we want to build

820
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 3: a monster, and he said that's what I want to

821
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 3: do here in Detroit. I want to build a monster.

822
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 3: And what he was talking about and we ended up

823
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 3: talking that night after the draft was on the offensive line,

824
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 3: because they had Frank Ragnow who was a pretty good center,

825
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 3: and Taylor Decker, who was a pretty good left tackle.

826
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 3: And when the Lions looked at that draft, they saw

827
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 3: you two pretty good tackles, Rasam Slater being the other one,

828
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 3: but they thought Pinasua was elite. And Hank Freley, the

829
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 3: Lions offensive line coach, called Taylor Decker before the draft

830
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 3: and told them, hey, if this guy's there, were taking them.

831
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 3: We're not moving you know, you're not moving positions. But

832
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 3: this is what we want to do. And it worked out,

833
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 3: I mean, just philosophically what the Lions wanted to do

834
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 3: with the right player and a little bit of good fortune,

835
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 3: and that's exactly how they've built this roster.

836
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 2: All right.

837
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,400

Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to beat writer all the big guys.

850
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, just like and you pointed it out,

851
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: that hadn't even occurred to me, not all that long ago.

852
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: The Lions were the joke of the league.

853
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 4: Right and what was it not last seedon the season

854
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 4: before they went to the NFC Championship game against the

855
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 4: forty nine ers. Yeah, and I know, you know, people

856
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 4: were like, whoa the Lions? And how was the big talk?

857
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 4: They come from? Where they come from? And Dan Campbell's

858
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 4: this cool, big, tough guy and fun and yet tough,

859
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 4: and he has a great mix there and it's kind

860
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 4: of animated on the sideline and you're like, and you

861
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 4: want to run through a brick wall for that guy.

862
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 4: And uh, I think that. You know, the fans there

863
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 4: love them, and they love that team, and they run

864
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 4: the ball and they rush the passer and what a concept.

865
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 4: They got a great offensive line, a great defensive line

866
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 4: figure and you go from there.

867
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 1: It works when you do all the fundamental stuff. Good

868
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: with that, we check in with traffic and weather. What

869
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: is going on all right? Back on the Eddie and

870
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: Rocky Show. Jason Williams from The Inquirer at Cincinnati dot

871
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: com filling in rock will be back on Monday now. Jason,

872
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: in your regular column job for the Inquiry, wrote something

873
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: the other day talking about the Reds now and it's look,

874
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: it's been talked about from for by everyone. What do

875
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: the Reds need? And it's time to put up or

876
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: shut up? As far as bringing the quote of the

877
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: famous quote bringing championship baseball back to Cincinnati, and yeah, look,

878
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: fortunately you're going to have to spend some money. And

879
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: if that ain't happening, it ain't happening. That's exactly what

880
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: I wrote.

881
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 4: I mean, it's that they're at that moment now when

882
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 4: you look at you know this is you know some

883
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 4: of those a lot of those young players have come

884
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 4: of age and what did enough And obviously the Mets

885
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 4: and let's you know, you hate to dwell on the

886
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 4: negative side of it, but certainly all part of the

887
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 4: stories that the Mets collapsed and help them get in.

888
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 4: But you take nothing away from the Reds. They those

889
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 4: guys grinded it out. A lot of those young guys

890
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 4: that hey, those are the future, the future that we've

891
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 4: heard for decades and decades, or certainly with this group

892
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 4: for years. Hey, these guys are the future. They're going

893
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 4: to get us to the playoffs. Well, they the future's here,

894
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 4: and you know, those guys came of age, many of them,

895
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 4: Terry Francona coming here. The thing is is that this

896
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 4: is this is what you're going to get from this

897
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 4: velocity in this team. They remind me a lot I

898
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 4: covered early in my career for the Saint Paul newspaper,

899
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 4: The Twins was They're very much remind me of the Twins. Actually,

900
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 4: the Twins were nicknamed and what five Uh they were

901
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 4: nicknamed the Piranhas because they were scrappy and you asi

902
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 4: ge and nicknamed them that. Uh, they called it little,

903
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 4: those little Piranhas, and uh, you know, they made T

904
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 4: shirts and them and then you know, I said, they're

905
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 4: calling these guys the cockroaches. You know, you can't kill them,

906
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 4: but this is who they are. Like, this team can

907
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 4: probably ads. It is generally speaking, the core of this

908
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 4: team can keep growing, and it's gonna grow, and then

909
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 4: this is what you're gonna get though, you're gonna you know,

910
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 4: you can probably consistently get a wild card or contend

911
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 4: for the second or third wildcard spot, but you're not

912
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 4: gonna make a deep run unless you go out and

913
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 4: get that bat, unless you develop maybe somewhere along the

914
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 4: line you were able to develop.

915
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 1: That bat, you know, but that was the hope for

916
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 1: Dayla Cruz.

917
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and I know this isn't popular.

918
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 4: I think the guys, I think the guys, you know what,

919
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 4: credit to him for He's still young. He went through

920
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 4: a lot this year personally, he battled through injuries this year.

921
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 4: He played one sixty two. I think there is a

922
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 4: sense of a little bit of overrated with him, certainly

923
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 4: from a deficient just overall. The problem with in terms

924
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 4: of how fans see him is that he had an

925
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 4: incredible six week run when he first came up in

926
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three, and he's not been able to live

927
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 4: back up to that yet. And he's still only what

928
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 4: twenty two years old, so there's still a long way

929
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 4: to go. But I think you got to change his position,

930
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 4: take some pressure off of him. I think that will

931
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 4: help him at the plate. So there's a lot of

932
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 4: things not just go out and get the bad. I

933
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 4: know it's easier said than done. Oh you know what,

934
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 4: You're gonna have to spend a lot of money to

935
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 4: do that. You're gonna have to be creative. But there's

936
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 4: other things that this club needs to do. And I

937
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 4: think they got you know, obviously with Terry Francona, and

938
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 4: Terry Francona didn't come out of retirement to go get

939
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 4: swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers and they make the

940
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 4: third wildcard. This was just step one for him. All right, Now,

941
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 4: what are they gonna do?

942
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens between now and the end of March.

943
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: Coming up, speaking of cockroaches, we're going to be talking

944
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: about what's going on the latest with the Diddy Combs trial.

945
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: It's all coming down to the uh to the sentencing.

946
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: I reckon. We're going to be talking to Royal Oak

947
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: from ABC about it. But that's after our news Right now,

948
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: News Radio seven hundred w LWS and Williams from the

949
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: Inquire Cincinnati dot Com is with us. But right now, Jace,

950
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: we have from because everybody's hanging on the edge of

951
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: their seat finding out what's going on with Diddy. We

952
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: have Royal Oaks from the He's the illegal analyst from

953
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: ABC Royal What is going on here?

954
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 9: Now?

955
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: I've heard that the judge might be moving this postponing

956
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 1: everything to Monday, or what are we doing? Well?

957
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 10: The latest is that Shan Didy Cumbs is getting ready

958
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 10: to testify himself in his own behalf of the sentence,

959
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 10: and you'll he chose not to testify at trial and

960
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 10: actually worked out pretty well for him. He was not

961
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,760
Speaker 10: guilty of recall, racketeering and sex trafficking, could have landed

962
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 10: and imprisoned for life. Instead he got the two prostitution counts.

963
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 10: But this comes after six of his kids tearfully testified,

964
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 10: a couple of the victim's letters were read, an eleven

965
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 10: minute video was produced by his team showing that he's

966
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 10: a changed man. So the judge is mulling this over.

967
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 10: But the judge so far hasn't seemed very sympathetic to

968
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 10: call this position. Judge is saying, look, I think the

969
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 10: five to seven year range is about right to start,

970
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 10: but based on what I hear today, I could go.

971
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 2: Up or it could go down.

972
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 5: So you don't know how it's going to end.

973
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 2: And he was.

974
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 4: He was convicted in July of flying people around the

975
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 4: country for sexual encounters and including what two former girlfriends.

976
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 10: Right, exactly right from a girlfriends employees involved, and because

977
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 10: he fit the the statute you can't have people cross

978
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 10: state lines for purposes of prostitution, he was found guilty

979
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 10: and could see up to twenty years. But based on

980
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 10: the sentence and guidelines and everything, really we're looking at

981
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 10: the range of five to seven as I say, or

982
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 10: maybe a little above or below, depending on how the

983
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 10: judge interprets all.

984
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 2: This so royal.

985
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: One of the things I read is that he has

986
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: quote unquote thrown himself on the mercy of the court.

987
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 1: Is that true, and if so, what exactly does that mean?

988
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: Of course we've all heard that on movies and stuff.

989
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 1: I'd have no idea what that means.

990
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 10: What it means is that he's saying, you're right, I

991
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 10: did some terrible things. I am really really sorry. I'm

992
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,720
Speaker 10: a changed man. I've been rehabilitated, I have genuine remorse.

993
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 10: These are all things that could cut that sentence down

994
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 10: if the judge believes it. Not a good sign though,

995
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 10: because the judge indicated he's not really sure that did

996
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 10: he is sincere. So it's not looking great.

997
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 4: For And this is completely up up to the judge, right,

998
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 4: the sentence thing. There's no jury now right that that

999
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 4: decides this. This is strictly the judge that makes the call.

1000
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 3: That's right.

1001
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,760
Speaker 10: The jury votes to convict, the judge sets the sentence.

1002
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 10: But the second circuit go to appeals in New York,

1003
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 10: they could overturn either the trial result or the sentencing

1004
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,760
Speaker 10: result and not of course, we'll be attacked by Didy's lawyers.

1005
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: And you know what, Royal, let me ask you one

1006
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: final question. Is this appealable if you know any sentencing

1007
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: and whatnot, or is this a done deal it's just

1008
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: a matter of the sentencing.

1009
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, everything is appealable. So what happens now is his

1010
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 10: lawyers will do the heavy lifting, coming up with briefs saying, hey,

1011
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 10: you know what, your honors on the appellate panel, this

1012
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,439
Speaker 10: wasn't prostitution. This wasn't some sort of a brothel deal.

1013
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 10: This was a performance art, a private deal. It wasn't

1014
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 10: making money on it. So that's going to be his

1015
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 10: argument on appeal.

1016
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: All right, well, we'll be real curious to see how

1017
00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: this shakes out, Manu Royal Oaks, Thanks so much your bet. Thanks. Uh,

1018
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, no matter how it chakes out, I don't

1019
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: want to be diddy right now.

1020
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 4: No, And from all the stuff that was going on

1021
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 4: earlier in this whole case, sounds like this thing was

1022
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 4: reduced down pretty significantly.

1023
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,399
Speaker 1: So when you were covering, did you ever cover hard

1024
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: news or was it always sports?

1025
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 2: Uh?

1026
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 4: No, I always covered sports, covered business for a while,

1027
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 4: and then I covered politics for several years. I never

1028
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 4: covered hard I did a couple of news shifts here

1029
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 4: and there back early my days in the Inquiry, we

1030
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 4: had to do a weekend breaking news shift, you know,

1031
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 4: car crashes, crime, stuff like that, but uh, nothing like

1032
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 4: on a full time basis.

1033
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 1: Because when Debb was working a channel night she used

1034
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: to cover stuff like that all the time, and it

1035
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: was that's one of the reasons she gave what she

1036
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: was on, you know, doing on scene stuff and all

1037
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: that stuff and would come home and just tell me

1038
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: the stuff that she had seen or stuff she had

1039
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: heard in court. And yeah, it finally just wore down.

1040
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: I just I don't want to do this anymore. I

1041
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: was like, don't do it. You're driving you nuts.

1042
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 4: You know, I've told this story before and I've written

1043
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 4: about it, but the first time and the last time

1044
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,439
Speaker 4: I ever covered a and it's certainly it's hard news,

1045
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 4: but separate from what we're talking about here. But I

1046
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 4: remember it was a Saturday night. I was on a

1047
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 4: news breaking news shift for The Inquirer and I it

1048
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:33,720
Speaker 4: was out in Walnut Hills, I don't know, eleven o'clock

1049
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 4: or so. I went out there, saw the dead body

1050
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 4: on the ground and the police work in it. It

1051
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 4: was I mean, I cried on the way home. I

1052
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 4: like lost it because I was like, right, who, like

1053
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 4: who would do like? And you know, like you see

1054
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 4: it and obviously you read about it, you hear about

1055
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 4: on the radio, you read about it, but then to

1056
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 4: see it and it was like and it made me

1057
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 4: think too about cops. My brother is a cop in Columbus.

1058
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 4: Like hops and hard news reporters that are covering this

1059
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 4: stuff on a regular basis and they go out and

1060
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 4: you know, we've we've got a whole team of people

1061
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 4: at the inquiry that they go out and they cover

1062
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 4: stuff like this, and it's like, yeah, I know WLW

1063
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 4: has news reporters will go out and see you know,

1064
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,439
Speaker 4: it's like that's a tough job.

1065
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: And speaking of news, I believe we have we have

1066
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: hold on And hey, Sean, could you turn on the

1067
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: microphone next to Jason are we there? Yeah, we got

1068
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: you now.

1069
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, I thought you'd want to hear this. It just

1070
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 11: came down Sean Combs is going to spend four years in.

1071
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: Prison and we just got off with the ABC there

1072
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: and they had not known that yet.

1073
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,399
Speaker 11: Yeah, they just decided. He said that the judge said

1074
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 11: that he needed to have a substantial sentence to deter

1075
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,280
Speaker 11: other people and his you know, his home life was hard.

1076
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 11: You know, he did great works also as a as

1077
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 11: an artist, but this is serious stuff. And so he's

1078
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 11: gotten a little over four years in prison sentence and

1079
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 11: it's still happening right now. So I just wanted to

1080
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 11: break in. We'll have more coming up at five.

1081
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:08,439
Speaker 1: All right, Sandy, thank you so much, and that it's

1082
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: it's funny that Royal was sitting right there when this

1083
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: was going down, yep, and it happened in that quick

1084
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: a time.

1085
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah it is.

1086
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: But you know, don't you don't you think that kind

1087
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: of there has to be some kind of sentence he

1088
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: has to pay some kind of vice, man, because like

1089
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 1: you said, like you said, coming into what we're talking

1090
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: about right now, it was it was greatly reduced from

1091
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 1: what it very well could have been.

1092
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, well, roy and Royal talked about it too.

1093
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,919
Speaker 4: All the all the original charges he could have ended

1094
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 4: up facing up to life in prison for right, and

1095
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 4: then it came down to what the two charges on.

1096
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 4: It's just it's just it's hard to comp like flying

1097
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 4: girlfriends around the country.

1098
00:52:58,160 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: Essentially, that's what he was doing.

1099
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 4: Awful And it also feels like you're only going to

1100
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 4: go to prison for four years for that.

1101
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, that's why. And that's what that's what gets me, man,

1102
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: is that look at what happened. And Rocky always laughs

1103
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 1: at me because I'm still pissed off about oj Yeah, yeah,

1104
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean, look at what Ojson. Come on, now, if

1105
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: you think that OJ Simpson didn't decapitate those two people,

1106
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: you are dead wrong.

1107
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 2: I mean the evidence was overwhelming.

1108
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: It was over freaking whelming. He had blood basically in

1109
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: his hair. Come on now. Yeah, but you know, he

1110
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,479
Speaker 1: went on to live a fine life for a long

1111
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 1: time after that, you know, very comfortable. Then he screwed

1112
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: up again and finally ended up doing some prison time,

1113
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: but not what he should have done. And now that's

1114
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: that's what's going to happen with this guy. Yeah, he'll

1115
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: do four years what good behavior, get out in three

1116
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: maybe something like that. Whatever, and uh, and the appeals

1117
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 1: process is going to go on for a little while,

1118
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: so who knows when it's going to he's going to

1119
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: have to serve this and when he gets out, you

1120
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,240
Speaker 1: know good and well that he's going to write a book.

1121
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,320
Speaker 1: He's going to do you know, there'll be some documentary,

1122
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: he'll do a comeback tour, YadA, YadA, YadA, He'll, you

1123
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 1: know what, four years out of his life compared to

1124
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: what some of the crap that he did to people,

1125
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:27,240
Speaker 1: it's a small price to pay.

1126
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 4: Yes, And the only, the only, the only thing that

1127
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 4: you know, you can hope for is that. And I

1128
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 4: remember a pastor saying, I believe it was in the

1129
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 4: ESPN documentary on O. J.

1130
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 2: Simpson.

1131
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 4: That there was a pastor quoted in that as saying, like,

1132
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 4: you know, O. J. Simpson should have been an absolute

1133
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 4: model citizen, helping kids, doing all kinds of charity work.

1134
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 4: You know, he still had all this privilege, you know,

1135
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 4: so he had the resources to do all that. Instead

1136
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 4: that you know, he went and then committed that crime

1137
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 4: in Las Vegas, and didn't you know he had a

1138
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 4: second chance, so to speak, to go make something of

1139
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 4: his life, you know whatever that the court at the

1140
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 4: court made that decision, and you know we all know

1141
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 4: that wasn't the that wasn't the right decision was made.

1142
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 4: And so he you know, you can't be tried twice,

1143
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 4: so go go do something good with your life and

1144
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 4: help people. And that's all you I mean, you got

1145
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 4: to try to look at the positive. Well let's uh,

1146
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 4: let's see what happens. Well that's what that's what did

1147
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 4: he was trying to sell is right then he was like, well,

1148
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 4: what what Royal Oak was talking about a little while

1149
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 4: ago that he was in prison and he's given classes

1150
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 4: to inmates and teaching him how to be a businessman

1151
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 4: and all this crap whatever. Man Like I said, he

1152
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 4: did some very heinous stuff. Yes, and like I said,

1153
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 4: four years is a very small price to pay considering

1154
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 4: what he did to people and how he affected people's lives.

1155
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 4: But uh he did raise the stock of baby oil

1156
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:06,760
Speaker 4: quite a bit there at a certain certain time baby

1157
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 4: oil and bulk.

1158
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 2: That's uh.

1159
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: I aspire to uh live that way with that. We

1160
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: check in with traffic and weather, what is going on.

1161
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,600

1222
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 4: of you as a great storyteller. But how much of

1223
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 4: a difference is that going to be for you? Or

1224
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,000

1225
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 5: You know, I don't think it's good. It's not going

Speaker 5: to be.

1227
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:25,560

Speaker 6: from nine to eleven, and I you know, it was

1230
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 6: always involved in community issues and you know very much

1231
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 6: so when it came to you know, pitching story ideas,

1232
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 6: and people came up to me and told me their

1233
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 6: stories all the time, uh, you know, or or gave

1234
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 6: me a suggestion, Hey, can you come check out this

1235
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 6: in my community? You know this is going on. And

1236
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 6: that time I'm like, well, I can tell you if

1237
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 6: it's going to rain. But I've always wanted to dive

1238
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 6: into that and I would take those stories and pass

1239
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 6: it on to other people. Well, now I don't have

1240
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 6: to pass them on to anybody. I can take them

1241
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 6: and run with them and help people find, you know, solutions.

1242
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 6: That's one of the nice things that they're that I

1243
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 6: really I've been rejuvenated guys a little bit here, right.

1244
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 6: You know, you do something for about eighteen years and

1245
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 6: you get kind of stuck in your rut and then

1246
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 6: you realize, heck, and there's a lot of really good

1247
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:15,280

Speaker 2: Well.

1262
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: But Frank, I told you. I was sitting there having

1263
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 1: lunch in my my humble abode. Yeah, underwear made my underwear,

1264
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,959
Speaker 1: of course, and the smoking a cigarette, drinking a beer,

1265
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 1: having my turkey sand.

1266
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 6: And hittering a little online gambling.

1267
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: But of course, of course I was doing that. But

1268
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 1: I hear I had the TV on in the other room,

1269
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: and of course it was on the nine New News,

1270
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you come on and you

1271
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: and I have been friends for a long time. I

1272
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: didn't know you were doing that, And I'm sitting there going,

1273
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 1: maybe that sounds like Marsulo, it's Frank.

1274
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 6: I was like, I giving your lovely wife obviously was

1275
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 6: in the business many years. I would you know, give

1276
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 6: me some feedback, give me some feedback.

1277
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: Oh, no, we were watching you today.

1278
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 2: She was like.

1279
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: We were both like told you. We both commented like, dude,

1280
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: you've just settled right into it. It's kind of cool,

1281
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 1: considering this is not really what you ever did, especially

1282
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: on a regular basis. I mean obviously standing in front

1283
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: of the camera and doing the weather and stuff. This

1284
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 1: is a whole different.

1285
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 3: Thing, No, it is.

1286
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 5: It is a different thing.

1287
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 6: And you know, I went to journalism school obviously, right,

1288
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 6: And it's and I think too being in Cincinnati for

1289
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 6: as long as I have and and the opportunities I

1290
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 6: have been given and the people I've been interact with,

1291
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 6: you know, whether it's you know, folks like you had

1292
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 6: a Jason, I mean, or just you know, average show.

1293
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:20,439
Speaker 6: We're all average shows, but just down down the street.

1294
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 6: It really it's I'm not saying it made it easier,

1295
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 6: but it's made it a kind of an easier transition

1296
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 6: that that I don't think I obviously need to prove

1297
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 6: myself in that aspect, you know what I mean. But

1298
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 6: like at the same token that people were going, oh

1299
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 6: wait a second, yeah, I get this.

1300
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, and uh and so here you are in

1301
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: the nine year room.

1302
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 6: And and that and see I'm a big you and

1303
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 6: I were big media geeks, you know, throughout life, and

1304
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 6: I was big like television geeks and like.

1305
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 5: To work for you.

1306
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 6: I mean, above my desk is a picture of l

1307
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 6: shadowcouty looking down on me.

1308
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 5: I think they purposely put me in that put me on.

1309
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 6: That desk because because like, well, hold on a second,

1310
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 6: because I mean that that's the that's the gold standard

1311
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 6: right there, from back.

1312
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 2: In the day.

1313
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 6: But no, it's great, Frank, and everybody's been very kind.

1314
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 6: And I'm not gonna I promise. I told Jennifer Catchmark,

1315
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 6: I said, I'm not going to say, you know, eighty

1316
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 6: four three.

1317
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 9: I think it should be eighty three.

01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 1: You know, I should just walk during up during the

1319

1321
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:32,560

Speaker 2: So our hope is.

1432
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:28,880
Speaker 9: That people will come down to Finley tomorrow between two

1433
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 9: thirty and five thirty just to learn about you know,

1434
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,679
Speaker 9: what are these mentoring organizations and how does it impact

1435
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 9: kids and what can they do whether it's close to

1436
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,639
Speaker 9: their neighborhood or it's downtown or you know whatever, whatever

1437
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:41,839
Speaker 9: works in the people's schedule.

1438
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 5: That's what we're trying to do is share with them that.

1439
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 9: Mentoring, you know, is a great thing, and how does

1440
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 9: it fit into your life and what do you want

1441
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 9: to do in terms of time and days of the

1442
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 9: week where you want to be And so we have

1443
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 9: a lot of organizations all youth mentoring within the greater

1444
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:00,680
Speaker 9: Cincinnati area, lots of options there. In addition to Big

1445
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 9: Brothers Sisters, there's Cincinnati Youth Collaborative, there is Adopt the Class,

1446
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:08,640
Speaker 9: There's Supersedes and Level Up and Saturday Hoops. There's so

1447
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 9: many that I think people really don't think about how

1448
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 9: many options they might have to come out and mentor

1449
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 9: a kid. And I think we can all think about

1450
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 9: who helped you when you were growing up, Who was

1451
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 9: a person you could count on that wasn't your dad

1452
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 9: or your mom or somebody, And these kids need.

1453
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 5: Somebody like that.

1454
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 9: So kind of think about who made a difference in

1455
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 9: your life and come out and consider being that person

1456
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 9: for a young person in Cincinnati.

1457
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:36,120
