WEBVTT - Eddie & Jason -- 11/4/25 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:02.960 Jase here, it is election day. Do you miss the 0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:06.640 old you were on the on the political beat there 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:07.720 for a minute or two? 0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:12.280 Oh yeah, man, I do miss it. And uh I 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:13.280 miss I missed the. 0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:17.240 Adrenaline rush of being in the newsroom on election night. However, 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:21.000 you get that adrenaline rush a lot more in sports 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.759 on every every Sunday. Covering a Bengals game reminds me 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:26.920 a lot of of covering an election. 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:29.320 I'm not I'm not being facetious. 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.040 That's actually we joke about in sports because it's like 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.080 there's a lot of election nights on the sports side 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:34.479 of things. 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.240 Well, this guy has been involved in many an election night. 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:42.200 He is Polly pi at UC. He is a great 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:47.840 friend of this show. He is professor doctorate if you will, 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:52.920 David Niven from the University of Cincinnati. Uh, Dave, how you. 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:56.080 Doing, man, I'm doing well, Addie. That's that's quite the 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:56.560 intro here. 0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:00.800 I can kind of sounds that we tried to build 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.000 you up to get you keep coming back, Eddie. 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.400 I missed talking to this guy, calling him up and 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.600 blowing him up about everything. But I know he's apprecive 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:10.000 that I'm not calling him all the time. 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.600 Well, let me ask you, besides this a stupid radio 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.920 host to bugging you all the time, David, what did 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.200 guys like Jason be bugging you all the time as well? 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:21.440 Oh? 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:26.920 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I mean I got every every everybody 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:30.320 in the election world today, and then I had to 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.039 wake up this morning and talk about our former Vice 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:35.960 president Dick Cheney. So it's been a busy day. 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:35.920 Yeah. 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.160 All right, Well let's talk about this election, and first off, 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.800 the local ramifications here. Do you see all the rigmar 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.399 role going on with the mayor and the police chief 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:49.040 having any effect at all? Or do the people in 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.360 the outlet in the in the burbs really pay that 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.520 much attention to what's going on downtown you told me. 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.360 I mean, I think the short answer is if this 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:03.080 were a competitive rates it's this, you know, we're two 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:08.000 candidates on reasonably equal footing, then the whole election could 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.280 hinge on this. But I mean, you've got a couple 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.640 of things going on, you know. One you know is 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.959 this is the first Republican in in Bawman running for 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.200 mayor in more than fifteen years. For a reason, because 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.760 this is this is not an easy task, and you know, 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:23.359 this is not. 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:25.520 A particularly fruitful path. 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.040 And then, of course the other aspect of this is 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.480 Cincinnati has such an odd system of government. You know, 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.040 in a in an we'll call it normal city, a 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.960 mayor could fire the police chief and would have a 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:42.520 much more direct line of authority accountability over things. You know, 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.720 Cincinnati kind of breaks everything into into pieces, and those 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.600 pieces into pieces, so you know, it kind of muddies 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:52.080 the water. Certainly Mayor Piirval would have preferred not to 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.760 have this bit of turmoil, you know, on the agenda 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.919 right now. But you know it's just a question of 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.120 you know, is it a sixty point win or a 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:01.960 seventy point win. 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.800 Yeah, Professor Niven, I thought of this, I don't know, 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.080 within the past week or so, just with all the 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.160 stuff that's going on with crime and the police chief, 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:15.040 and you know, videos coming out about the brawl, and 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.680 you know that that being continuing to be a narrative 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:23.400 in this election. If you're the again, this is something 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.240 to talk about tomorrow and days after. But I think 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.200 we all know how you just said, the results of 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.640 this AFTAB is going to win if you are the 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:34.360 Republicans and the Charter rights. Are you sitting here kicking 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.640 yourself thinking, knowing, knowing now what's come about, and if 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.480 they would have put up a more better known, well 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:45.440 funded candidate, would that candidate potentially have had a shot. 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.280 I mean, I think, yes, you're kicking yourself just because 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.640 this opportunity, this window isn't going to open in every 0:03:54.800 --> 0:04:00.000 every cycle. And you know what you have is basically 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:04.120 this this kind of part time you know, mayoral candidate 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:08.240 who you know, it was a nice oddity and got 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.360 a little attention, but wasn't seriously running to be mayor 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:16.040 of Cincinnati. And you know, obviously we saw four years ago, 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.080 you know, in David Mann, you know, a credible a 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:24.640 credible opponent for for now mayor, pure ball and it 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.880 still isn't easy and he got his clock cleaned. But 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.640 you know, that's that's the very first rule of all 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.080 of this. You know, when when you talk about well, 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.440 you know, how does you know, how does the how 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.960 does the party that's the underdog, how does it ever win? 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.960 You know, how do the Democrats have the governor's office 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.560 in Kentucky? Well they have the governor's office because they 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.560 put up an incredible candidate. And you know, how are 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.440 you ever going to knock in, you know, and get 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.720 yourself in the in the mayor's office, knock in that door. Well, 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.400 you better start with a super credible candidate. And it 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:59.200 is particularly ironic that we have this kind of alumni 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:03.080 force of former council members running for council in this cycle, 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.279 you know, rather than one of them running for mayor. 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.760 Right, we're talking to David Niven, and Dave, let's talk 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:14.719 about the national ramifications of what President Trump has done 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.360 his first year in office. How is that going to 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.080 I mean, we're looking at we're looking at the mayoral 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:24.680 race in New York City. Everybody's all wound up about 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:30.239 that New Jersey governor, Virginia governor, the redistrict in California. 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.680 What do you see happening nationwide with all this stuff? 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.880 Well, truth is, of course, it's a little silly to 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.920 talk about, but it's actually a very real effect that 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.040 you know, national politics matters all the way down even 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:49.880 into these Cincinnati races in terms of we're seeing turnout 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:54.640 boosts in every special election, in every local election this 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:59.080 year heading into today, and it's based on people wanting 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.279 to have a chance to vote and voice their disagreement 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.880 with the administration and I mean, we literally have seen 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:10.000 this in special elections in several states for state legislative offices, 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.839 and we've seen this in city races. So you know, 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:14.960 I do think it is a there's going to be 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.040 a telling set of numbers when the day is done. 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:22.120 You know, if we see a democratic boost, you know 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.960 in those states that you mentioned, like New Jersey and Virginia, 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.400 but also even just in Cincinnati, I mean, they're going 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.479 to be people who show up to vote not because 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:34.120 they particularly care about the city council or the mayor's race, 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.599 but just because they want to participate. 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:41.320 Yeah, it's kind of piggybacking along those lines, all this 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.720 stuff about mom don Mamdani in New York and how 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.400 that's become a national story. And I guess you know 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.200 a lot of times, you know, those of us across 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.600 the country at least pay attention of politics on a 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:55.920 casual basis kind of know who the mayor of New 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:56.440 York is? 0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:58.000 Right? 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:04.599 Do you are you reading deeper into that or are 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:08.320 you I don't know. There's three guys in that race, 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.960 and if that were a head to head between Cuomo 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.800 and mom Donnie, is that a different story there. 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.080 I mean, I do think it would be a different race. 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:23.640 But you know, Cuomo has done one of the most 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:27.240 spectacular jobs you know, in the history of politics of 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:31.240 getting a segment of the population to seriously dislike him, 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.400 you just despise him. I mean, that's a unique talent. 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:35.840 Not everybody can pull that up. 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.560 He's done it, true, So I do think the dynamic 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.600 would be different one on one, but I think the 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.640 bottom line in the end would be, you know, people 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:50.320 would enthusiastically vote against him, and others would have to 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.520 be dragged to the polls holding their nose to vote 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.680 for him. So I don't think he wins. That wins 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:58.120 that either way. But this does absolutely make make the 0:07:58.200 --> 0:07:59.800 Cuomo scenario even less. 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:02.080 Like, what do you what do you make of the 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.600 fact that you know, all the socialist thing of mom, 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.200 Donnie and and I know there's fear mongering from at 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:13.400 least certain certain media outlets or whatever about you know, 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.480 a socialist getting elected to such a big seat like that. 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.320 I saw George will on Bill Maher last week saying 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.480 this is a good thing. You know, every once in 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.680 a while you need to you need to show the 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:30.000 country that socialism doesn't work. But what do you make 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:33.280 of that, is that does this give hope to the 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.400 socialist movement so to speak, across the country or is 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.000 this just kind of one off and everybody will see 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:40.200 that this really doesn't work. 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.760 Well, you know, it's it's been a tough century or 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.040 two for the socialist political. 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.680 Movement, sure when it started. 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.280 Give them a moment in the sun. 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.839 I mean, I think the bottom line is this is 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:58.920 this is people driven. You know, it's easy to throw 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.800 labels out there, but if they didn't have a very, 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.280 very talented candidate, yeah, you know, then we wouldn't be 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.520 having this conversation. And I think that's that's true across 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:13.520 the board. And you know what makes New York compelling, 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.280 you know, New York City compelling? Why we we should 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.839 be talking about it. It's got a government that's as 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.760 big as a state. So you know, this is you know, 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.839 you know, a a government structure that's bigger than the 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:31.160 structure of the government of Ohio a significant figure. But 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.679 you know, let's keep in mind, you know, the Democratic 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:39.400 Party is strong there and it's going to assert its will. 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.800 You know, for all of the tumult of the Atoms 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.880 administration in New York, you know, it's still a city 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:50.839 that pursues policies well inside the mainstream of the Democratic Party, 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.320 and I would look for that to continue. It's, you know, 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.280 it's nice to have a you know, a prominent mayor 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.679 on the socialist side from the socialist perspective, but that 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.640 doesn't mean you suddenly get your way on everything. 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.160 As as they say, campaigning is different than governing right. 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:10.760 Right, and it's very different. And you know, a famous 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.880 Onion headline, I won't quote a word for word, but 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.800 you know it's it's a mock headline in the voice 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.880 of Bill de Blasio saying, well, well, well, well, it's 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.679 not so easy to get a mayor who isn't terrible? 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:23.600 Is it New York? 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:28.600 And you know, it's a it's a really really challenging job. 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.760 I mean, in no joking terms, it's a challenging job. 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.000 And you know, I think the folks who've thrived in it, 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.680 you know, people like Bloomberg who certainly thrived as mayor, 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.040 you know, had a certain levelness to them and you know, 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.880 an ability to just literally show up and do the job. 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.280 It's it's it's I think, ultimately a job that reveals 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.280 your you know, lack of attention span or or lack 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.440 of clarity of purpose, and that's certainly eaten up a 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.160 number of recent mayors. 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.400 All right with that, David, and we will let you go, buddy, 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:02.480 Thanks so much. 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:02.960 Great stuff. 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.080 All right, boys, it was a pleasure. 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.760 Thanks so much.

We were talking about it going into going 0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:51.919 into the news. We've all heard a shrink flation, but 0:23:52.520 --> 0:23:58.199 there's well now there's more flation stuff going on, and 0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:02.960 here to discuss is is our good friend, our financial guy, 0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:07.440 our money manager, a CPA. He knows all, he sees 0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:09.479 all when it comes to your finances. He is our 0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:13.000 good friend. Bill Dendy, Bill, welcome back to the program. 0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:15.560 Guys. It's great to be with you. 0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:20.119 So Bill, we're talking about this stuff. And we you know, 0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:23.359 we've all heard of the shrink flation where you know, 0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:27.120 you used to get whatever, fifteen ounces of potato chips 0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:30.159 and now you get thirteen ounces in the same sized 0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:33.480 bag and that and on and on and on. But 0:24:33.600 --> 0:24:35.959 now we have skimflation and sneak flation. 0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:39.840 Explain well, it's kind of funny. 0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:44.040 Companies are looking for ways to lower their calls to 0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:49.000 production without messing up their margins, and one of the 0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:54.480 things that they're turning to is using lower quality ingredients. 0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:56.120 That's skimflation. 0:24:56.520 --> 0:24:58.720 And they're like, well, gosh, we can't charge more, the 0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:01.400 consumers will quit buying our and so we can put 0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:05.520 less product in the package and that helps. Or instead 0:25:05.560 --> 0:25:08.719 of using real butter, we can use something else. Or 0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:11.880 instead of being ice cream, let's make it a frozen 0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:12.919 dairy treat. 0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:14.440 Instead of being. 0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:18.800 Chicken, let's make chicken pieces or chicken like substance and 0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:22.840 if people can't tell the difference, well, then we get 0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:27.240 to increase the margins without increasing the prices. 0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:29.800 And this is kind of a. 0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:32.000 It'd be great if it really worked, but the problem 0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:34.800 is you can taste the difference. You can tell it's 0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:37.240 not the same product. And it's only after you take 0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:39.840 the time to read the fine print you're like, oh 0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:44.480 my gosh, they've changed the ingredients. The grains that they're 0:25:44.520 --> 0:25:47.560 using are less expensive in the granola. The sugar that 0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:50.840 they're using is now going to be the corn syrup. 0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:55.159 The creams are no longer creams. It's a milk and 0:25:55.240 --> 0:25:58.520 buy products and it's not the same. And so for 0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:01.920 consumers it feels their dishonest when you become the victim 0:26:02.040 --> 0:26:03.560 of skimflation. 0:26:04.240 --> 0:26:05.480 Bill A. 0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:09.120 Is there an example of a company out there who's 0:26:09.320 --> 0:26:12.119 in the crosshairs of this very thing? And then b 0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:17.280 are companies doing this because of you know, higher costs 0:26:17.320 --> 0:26:20.440 of shipping they're trying to hedge here and cut off 0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:23.040 or you know what's going on with that. 0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:26.800 Well, for a while, it was the price of oil 0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:29.639 and the shipping costs, and we had that backlog. But 0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:33.560 at this point, this is more the result of the 0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:36.760 high inflation we experienced a couple of years ago finally 0:26:36.760 --> 0:26:39.600 to catch up with cost. You know, companies, when they 0:26:39.640 --> 0:26:44.600 had the higher prices of their supplies, their inputs, a 0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:47.680 lot of them didn't raise their prices. They started absorbing 0:26:47.760 --> 0:26:50.800 some of the negative impacts of inflation, and they didn't 0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:53.920 want to raise their prices because if they raised their prices, 0:26:53.960 --> 0:26:56.840 they ran the risk of losing market share. And so 0:26:56.880 --> 0:27:00.399 instead of raising the prices, they reduced the portions size, 0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:03.040 and we got used to seeing that, and then the 0:27:03.080 --> 0:27:06.440 next step was, well, if nobody else is raising their prices, 0:27:06.480 --> 0:27:09.240 and that's the first thing consumer see. If we can't 0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:11.800 lower the portion size, let's lower the cost of what 0:27:11.840 --> 0:27:16.639 we're putting into the ingredients. And that was the skinflation. 0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:20.639 But when you change ingredients or manufacturing processes, even when 0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:23.399 you change packaging, it takes a while from the corporate 0:27:23.480 --> 0:27:26.600 boardroom where the decision is made to not raise the 0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:30.119 prices but to combat inflation to do something else, to 0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:32.399 the time it gets to the shelves. And so I 0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:34.200 think what we're seeing this year is a lot of 0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:36.320 this stuff has finally just found it to the shelves 0:27:36.320 --> 0:27:39.760 and consumers are noticing it. But it's the impact of 0:27:39.800 --> 0:27:42.200 the inflation we all witnessed a couple of years ago 0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:46.280 and companies choosing not to raise their prices because studies 0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:49.040 have shown that if you raise your prices, you're four 0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:52.680 times more likely to get a negative response from a consumer, 0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:55.359 that is, they go someplace else, versus if you just 0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:59.240 cut the package size or cut the cost of ingredients, 0:27:59.320 --> 0:28:01.480 they're less like to leave you. They may be frustrated, 0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:03.840 but they're less likely to go away. And then the 0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:06.600 other thing that you know we talked about is sneak 0:28:06.640 --> 0:28:09.280 place where it's not so much at the grocery store, 0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:11.760 but when they start charging for things that used to 0:28:11.840 --> 0:28:17.640 be free. My personal example was a trip to Vegas 0:28:17.720 --> 0:28:21.080 a couple months ago. I was surprised with the airline 0:28:21.080 --> 0:28:23.160 that you know, you want a seat on this plane, 0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:25.200 Well you got you got a space, but you don't 0:28:25.200 --> 0:28:27.960 have a seat. There is a charge for any seat 0:28:28.000 --> 0:28:30.040 unless you want the last roll that doesn't reclimb. We 0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:32.600 got a free seat there, but every other seat's going 0:28:32.640 --> 0:28:35.160 to cost you. And you want to take a bag, well, 0:28:35.200 --> 0:28:37.720 the carry ons now charge costs as well. 0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:39.400 And these things used to be free. 0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:42.520 And then you get to the hotel and they're like, uh, yeah, 0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:45.160 the hotel price is this, but there's a forty dollars 0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:47.320 a night resort fee. I'm like, well, what do you 0:28:47.320 --> 0:28:49.320 get for the resort fee and they say, well, you 0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:51.360 get to use our swimming pool and you get free internet. 0:28:51.880 --> 0:28:54.720 I'm like, for forty dollars a night that should have 0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:57.200 been disclosed somewhere because that didn't. 0:28:57.040 --> 0:28:58.440 Used to be the case at this place. 0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:00.479 And they're like, yeah, but everybody else is doing it. 0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:03.200 So instead of raising the prices of the hotel, or 0:29:03.240 --> 0:29:08.000 instead of raising the prices of the airline tickets, they 0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:10.880 sneak in something else that used to be free at 0:29:10.880 --> 0:29:14.720 an additional cost, and studies have shown that over several years. 0:29:15.240 --> 0:29:18.800 The Senate report said the airlines have made about twelve 0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:22.480 billion dollars from seat selection fees over the past five 0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:25.960 years from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty three, So it's 0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:28.719 replacing lost revenues that they would have had had they 0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:31.480 raised their prices. They didn't have to raise their prices, 0:29:31.520 --> 0:29:34.400 but they increased their revenues to offset some of their 0:29:34.560 --> 0:29:38.160 additional costs. With this sneaky way of adding costs to 0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:39.320 things that used to be free. 0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:42.160 We're talking to Bill Dendy and Bill, Yeah, I was 0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:46.360 reading a story not too long ago that it's starting 0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:49.320 to Vegas is starting to get backlash on that because 0:29:49.320 --> 0:29:52.360 they're most notorious for it, where yeah, you know, it 0:29:52.480 --> 0:29:54.560 used to be able to Well that's cool. You can 0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:58.200 get a room on the strip for you know, seventy 0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:01.160 five dollars a night. That's great. Well, then they charge 0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:04.920 you seventy five dollars you know, resort fee. Like you said, 0:30:05.440 --> 0:30:09.440 they they charge you seventy bucks to park and the 0:30:09.960 --> 0:30:13.240 buffet that used to be five ninety nine is now 0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:17.240 seventy nine ninety nine. So yeah, they get you man, 0:30:17.800 --> 0:30:19.760 And people are starting with that push back. 0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:23.440 We could have had a Caribbean vacation or something. I 0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:24.440 don't know, but. 0:30:26.000 --> 0:30:29.680 It's gonna take a lot of consumers voting with their pocketbooks. 0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:31.560 And I think the consumers will I think that a 0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:35.120 lot of corporations will rethink these policies. But we we 0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:38.840 haven't had this kind of fight with inflation for a 0:30:38.880 --> 0:30:41.960 couple of decades, and so they have inflation come back, 0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:47.080 and companies aside, instead of raising prices, we're gonna figure 0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:49.600 we're gonna solve it some other way, well, I think 0:30:49.600 --> 0:30:52.440 they're gonna find that their solutions are going skinpy on 0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:55.800 the ingredients will cost them customers. Eventually, they'll just take 0:30:55.840 --> 0:30:58.320 customers a while to figure out who's still offering quality. 0:30:58.640 --> 0:30:59.880 And I think that the. 0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:03.400 Place like Vegas who over gollogs will one day find 0:31:03.440 --> 0:31:05.880 that they're not bringing in more tourists because of that, 0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:08.640 and those that come back and say, here's the real deal, 0:31:09.160 --> 0:31:12.440 even if it's eighty dollars a night, they'll actually attract 0:31:12.720 --> 0:31:16.920 happier consumers and the markets will self adjust. But for now, 0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:19.240 I think a lot of consumers are going to need 0:31:19.280 --> 0:31:21.160 to be a little bit more vigilant than what we've 0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:23.720 been in the past and be aware of what are 0:31:23.720 --> 0:31:26.160 we actually getting when we make our purchase. Is it 0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:29.120 the same ingredients as it used to be? Are there 0:31:29.160 --> 0:31:33.520 any hidden fees or additional costs that are oh there, 0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:35.240 they are right there and the fine print at the 0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:38.160 bottom that are not shown on the front line when 0:31:38.200 --> 0:31:40.920 they have the price shown on the cost per nde. 0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:42.640 Or the costs for your airfare. 0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:45.480 And I think consumers are getting more savvy, but I 0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:47.400 think a lot of people were hit with this all 0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:50.640 at the same time, so there is a consumer backlash, 0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:53.320 and some consumers say, not fair. You're going to change 0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:55.600 the ingredients. Congress should make a law. There would be 0:31:55.640 --> 0:31:58.360 a law against that, sure enough. There might be laws 0:31:58.400 --> 0:32:00.000 coming out real soon that say, if you're going to 0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:03.320 change your ingredients, you have to say not the old ingredient, 0:32:03.680 --> 0:32:07.080 or new packaging or new pricing, or not as much 0:32:07.080 --> 0:32:09.120 as it used to be in this package. I don't 0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:11.720 know what they're going to do, but I hate more laws. 0:32:11.920 --> 0:32:15.600 But I do think that consumers have been caught off guard, 0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:18.120 and it was a dangerous game that companies were deciding 0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:20.080 to play when they decided not to just go ahead 0:32:20.080 --> 0:32:21.880 and raise their prices and pass on the cost to 0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:24.200 the consumer directly, but try to hide it in some 0:32:24.280 --> 0:32:24.720 other way. 0:32:25.280 --> 0:32:27.920 Build kind of a bigger picture of what you're all 0:32:27.960 --> 0:32:32.240 the stuff that you're talking about here are high grocery prices, 0:32:32.360 --> 0:32:35.800 or the grocery prices, you know, the food prices even restaurants, 0:32:35.880 --> 0:32:39.240 whatever the price we're paying for food. And it seems 0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:41.400 like it's been here for a while. Now are those 0:32:41.480 --> 0:32:45.800 here to stay or the It just it's hard to 0:32:45.840 --> 0:32:48.720 see going back now, right? Are we going to go 0:32:48.880 --> 0:32:53.280 back to the day I don't know prior to when 0:32:53.320 --> 0:32:55.240 it all kind of go crazy, like right right after 0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:57.920 the pandemic, when we go back to the pre pandemic, 0:32:59.080 --> 0:33:00.840 you know, food prices. 0:33:01.840 --> 0:33:04.640 Yeah, I like your question because you know, a lot 0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:08.000 of people believe that when inflation's under control, it means 0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:09.640 that everything goes back to where it was. 0:33:10.280 --> 0:33:11.440 But that's not what it means. 0:33:11.440 --> 0:33:15.440 It means that price is quite increasing by the hyper 0:33:15.520 --> 0:33:18.320 fast rate. They just increased at a slower rate, but 0:33:18.360 --> 0:33:22.520 they generally don't go down yet. Some companies, I think 0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:25.920 it was McDonald's, got a lot of backlash because their 0:33:25.960 --> 0:33:29.840 meals were gotten up to fifteen dollars plus, and so 0:33:30.000 --> 0:33:33.000 they responded back after the negative backlash by saying, okay, 0:33:33.400 --> 0:33:35.960 here is the new five dollars meal deal, and the 0:33:35.960 --> 0:33:38.520 five dollar meal deal came back. It wasn't the same, 0:33:38.960 --> 0:33:43.320 it was the trimmed down versions perhaps, but they responded 0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:47.520 positively back and regained some market share, perhaps because they 0:33:47.520 --> 0:33:50.480 were the only ones offering the real deals. 0:33:50.520 --> 0:33:51.080 And going back. 0:33:51.440 --> 0:33:54.560 We see how Walmart rolled back the prices to where 0:33:54.600 --> 0:33:58.160 they used to be, but it's rare. Generally, once you 0:33:58.280 --> 0:34:02.920 have inflation, things we don't go back down. But the 0:34:02.960 --> 0:34:06.160 one thing you mentioned just a few moments ago, was 0:34:06.200 --> 0:34:08.759 it is that the high costs of transportation causing these 0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:11.359 things to go up, And it had been, but the 0:34:11.360 --> 0:34:15.120 price of oil has come down dramatically. And I spent 0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:18.839 some time in Midland, Texas just yesterday talking to those 0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:22.000 in the oil patch, saying that it's amazing that now 0:34:22.040 --> 0:34:24.640 we have more production coming out of the United States 0:34:24.680 --> 0:34:28.080 of America than they have in the Soviet Union, more 0:34:28.080 --> 0:34:31.480 production than coming out of Saudi Arabia. The United States 0:34:31.520 --> 0:34:33.760 has taken over the wild is number one oil producer again, 0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:37.000 which is wonderful, and then not so wonderful for the 0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:39.200 price of oil. They're saying. The price of oil has 0:34:39.440 --> 0:34:41.920 gone down. So it's one thing that you did see 0:34:42.320 --> 0:34:45.200 come down over the past few years. As we've increased 0:34:45.200 --> 0:34:48.080 our production. We have plenty of supply, and had that 0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:51.640 not come down, we would see a lot worse inflationary 0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:55.280 numbers in our systems. Here today, we still have inflation, 0:34:55.600 --> 0:34:57.200 but not as bad as it would have been if 0:34:57.239 --> 0:34:59.680 oil prices had stayed at those higher levels. And I 0:34:59.719 --> 0:35:05.319 think that we do have some areas everything's transported, so 0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:07.120 when price of oil is up, it costs a little 0:35:07.120 --> 0:35:09.200 bit more from most goods that you're going to purchase. 0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:14.560 And then many primary ingredients of products come from oil, 0:35:15.200 --> 0:35:19.880 and so the petroleum industry having lower costs for a 0:35:19.880 --> 0:35:23.400 lot of our inputs means that we have controlled some inflation. 0:35:23.880 --> 0:35:25.680 But I don't think prices are going back to where 0:35:25.719 --> 0:35:27.520 they were in nineteen ninety five. 0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:30.760 All right, with that, build Dendy. We will let you go, buddy. 0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:33.720 It is always our pleasure. Thanks so much for joining us. 0:35:34.200 --> 0:35:35.680 God bless you. It's been a real pleasure. 0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:39.400 Thank you to our financial strategists to build Dandy with 0:35:39.680 --> 0:35:45.680 the sneakflation, skimpflations, some cheery cheery news, shrinkflation, yeah, huh huh, no, 0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:48.840 none of that's good with that. We check in with 0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:49.759 traffic and weather. 0:35:49.880 --> 0:35:50.600 What is going on. 0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:53.799 I just opened up a half bag of chips last night, 0:35:54.000 --> 0:35:55.600 right that I've paid full price for it. 0:35:55.840 --> 0:35:59.719 Of course, what's filling me is like the same bag 0:35:59.800 --> 0:36:02.680 of now has less in it, but it costs about 0:36:02.840 --> 0:36:03.719 fifty cents more. 0:36:04.040 --> 0:36:07.719 Yeah, exactly, Yeah, there ought to be a law. He's right. 0:36:08.200 --> 0:36:11.320 I'm with him from the UC Health Traffic Center of 0:36:11.400 --> 0:36:14.280 the Lung Cancer Rapid Access Program at the UC Cancer 0:36:14.360 --> 0:36:17.320 Center is built to give you a care plan fast 0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:20.560 meet with a specialist in two days.

Our good friend, Dave Hatter. Dave, No, 0:37:56.200 --> 0:37:58.239 You're always sending the c stories. And one that really 0:37:58.280 --> 0:38:04.000 caught my eye this week is the headline is Russia. Russia, 0:38:04.120 --> 0:38:07.759 China increasingly using AI to escalate cyber attacks in the 0:38:07.880 --> 0:38:11.560 United States. So let me I just got me to 0:38:11.640 --> 0:38:14.560 think in this and I'm in the most simple terms 0:38:14.640 --> 0:38:19.520 that I can think of, and I'm pretty simple. Are 0:38:19.640 --> 0:38:24.800 we constantly being barraged with cyber attacks from all sides 0:38:25.000 --> 0:38:27.160 every single minute of every single day. 0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:32.200 Now, well, Eddie, I would say you're not only right, 0:38:32.480 --> 0:38:36.719 you're underestimating. It's more like barads by cyber attacks on 0:38:36.840 --> 0:38:40.600 all sides every millisecond of the day. You know a 0:38:40.640 --> 0:38:42.960 lot of people who've been in this for a while 0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:46.759 may remember all kinds of like personal firewall tools like 0:38:46.880 --> 0:38:48.520 the alarm where you could set it up on your 0:38:48.560 --> 0:38:51.920 personal computer and it would show you the sheer number 0:38:52.560 --> 0:38:57.760 of outside let's say, queries or probes against your computer 0:38:57.840 --> 0:38:59.080 and it would usually be mind blowing. 0:38:59.239 --> 0:38:59.479 People. 0:39:00.040 --> 0:39:01.919 I would bet you if you win and you asked 0:39:01.960 --> 0:39:05.359 your I people there at iHeart to tell you how 0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:08.600 often in a day is there some sort of probe 0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:11.040 against our firewall? It would be mind boggling to you 0:39:11.120 --> 0:39:13.759 what they would tell you. And yes, these attacks are 0:39:13.800 --> 0:39:16.600 coming from everywhere. Now, this article from Security Week, you know, 0:39:16.719 --> 0:39:18.640 points out some important things. I'll get back to you. 0:39:18.760 --> 0:39:23.279 But I think the thing people often misunderstand about this is, 0:39:23.520 --> 0:39:26.879 in many cases, this is not where some guys sitting 0:39:26.880 --> 0:39:29.760 in this model's basement thinking, Hey, I think I'll attack 0:39:30.320 --> 0:39:32.960 iHeart today. Now I'm not saying that doesn't happen, it does. 0:39:33.600 --> 0:39:36.840 You know, businesses aren't targeted because they have specific information 0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:39.920 that the hackers want to steal, you know, trade secrets, 0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:43.160 military secrets, whatever. But a lot of this stuff is 0:39:43.239 --> 0:39:45.839 fully automated and AI is making us worse, and they're 0:39:45.960 --> 0:39:50.680 literally just scanning the Internet for anything that's connected they find. 0:39:50.960 --> 0:39:52.799 This is one of the reasons why you should never 0:39:53.040 --> 0:39:53.640 answer a call. 0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:54.080 You don't know. 0:39:54.160 --> 0:39:56.400 It's the same kind of thing. But you know, to 0:39:56.560 --> 0:40:00.200 people they're just scanning and they find something connected, they 0:40:00.200 --> 0:40:03.080 can scan it and say, okay, can I determine what 0:40:03.200 --> 0:40:05.480 this thing is? Can I determine does it have any 0:40:05.520 --> 0:40:08.719 known vulnerabilities because they haven't installed the software updates we 0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:11.279 talk about all the time, and you know, don't work 0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:15.160 backwards from there. So there's automated scanning at scale, especially 0:40:15.239 --> 0:40:17.800 for nation state actors like China and Russia ran in 0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:21.200 North Korea. Kind of the evil access of cybersecurity, if 0:40:21.239 --> 0:40:24.760 you will. Yeah, it's it's continuous, it's around the cloth. 0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:28.560 It's increasing as the speed of their systems gets faster 0:40:28.719 --> 0:40:31.160 and can scan more. And I think that's the thing 0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:33.960 people don't get. This isn't someone thinking today is the 0:40:34.040 --> 0:40:37.320 day I'm going to target the local grocery store or 0:40:37.680 --> 0:40:42.520 you know, the corner mechanic shop. They're just looking for 0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:45.400 things that are connected to the Internet, which is increasingly everything, 0:40:45.880 --> 0:40:47.799 and then trying to figure out how they can get 0:40:47.880 --> 0:40:49.640 in to steal money from there, and then you know 0:40:49.760 --> 0:40:52.479 likewise they're targeting people with fishing and fishing, et cetera. 0:40:53.719 --> 0:40:58.000 Why, maybe it's a silly question, but hear me out, Daves. 0:40:59.480 --> 0:41:02.320 You know, in Russia, obviously the adversaries of the US 0:41:02.960 --> 0:41:07.319 are attacking the US. But why is the US more 0:41:07.520 --> 0:41:13.200 prime for cyber attacks? Besides the obvious that those two 0:41:13.239 --> 0:41:16.480 countries aren't our friends. But there are other rich nations 0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:21.480 out there. But what makes us more vulnerable beyond the 0:41:21.560 --> 0:41:23.680 fact that those are our adversaries? Is it because we 0:41:23.800 --> 0:41:26.759 have a lot of money? Is because it is our 0:41:27.800 --> 0:41:31.359 basically our our it general infrastructure not as good as 0:41:31.560 --> 0:41:34.160 Saudi Arabia or Japan or what. 0:41:35.960 --> 0:41:36.680 Well, that's a good. 0:41:36.600 --> 0:41:39.879 Question, and it's certainly not exclusive to US, Jason. In fact, 0:41:39.960 --> 0:41:41.440 I just saw a headline which I don't have the 0:41:41.480 --> 0:41:44.440 fun of me, but apparently at least five different water 0:41:44.520 --> 0:41:46.480 plants have recently been attacked in the UK. 0:41:47.239 --> 0:41:49.040 You know this is happening everywhere. 0:41:49.120 --> 0:41:51.920 You don't have to look too far. You know, the 0:41:52.080 --> 0:41:54.839 US is a prime target because obviously you could argue 0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:58.040 we are the sole superpower. People would argue, well, you've 0:41:58.040 --> 0:41:59.520 got China out there that's kind of. 0:41:59.520 --> 0:42:00.520 Reached pair with us. 0:42:00.640 --> 0:42:03.960 Yeah maybe, Yeah, we have a lot of money. And 0:42:05.120 --> 0:42:08.000 you know, I would argue, because I'm talking to businesses 0:42:08.000 --> 0:42:09.919 about this all day long and trying to get people 0:42:10.000 --> 0:42:14.880 to take it seriously, that many folks really underestimate what 0:42:15.120 --> 0:42:18.080 the damage of a cyber attack can be to their organization, 0:42:18.280 --> 0:42:21.960 where the business, nonprofit whatever. You know, it could be 0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:25.239 theft of sensitive data, it could be reputational damage, it 0:42:25.280 --> 0:42:28.040 could be expensive downtime that in some cases you don't 0:42:28.080 --> 0:42:30.520 ever recover from. I don't know if you guys saw 0:42:30.600 --> 0:42:33.040 the story. You know, Range Rover in the UK recently 0:42:33.080 --> 0:42:35.800 got hit with a devastating cyber attack. Was down roughly 0:42:36.880 --> 0:42:39.320 two months, and the numbers I've seen are in the 0:42:39.400 --> 0:42:42.480 billions of dollars lost. People laid off from range Rover, 0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:45.960 people laid off from range Rover suppliers. So it's certainly 0:42:46.040 --> 0:42:48.520 not exclusive to us, you know, depending on what the 0:42:48.640 --> 0:42:51.960 hackers are after, which in most cases, outside of these 0:42:52.040 --> 0:42:55.720 nation state attacks like China, it's money, right, they're looking 0:42:55.800 --> 0:42:59.000 for money. But you know, businesses can have their email 0:42:59.000 --> 0:43:01.880 accounts taken over. Next thing, you know, fraudulent invoices go 0:43:02.000 --> 0:43:04.480 out to the team of tens of thousands to millions 0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:07.920 of dollars loss. So it's not just downtime, it's not 0:43:08.120 --> 0:43:11.400 just data theft. It's outright, you know, fraud and theft 0:43:11.480 --> 0:43:15.440 of dollars through deceit. And you know, again it's not 0:43:15.680 --> 0:43:17.520 just us. But I think part of what makes us 0:43:17.560 --> 0:43:19.319 a target is, yes, we have a lot of money, 0:43:19.920 --> 0:43:24.120 and businesses, organizations have all shapes and sizes. Gusts do 0:43:24.239 --> 0:43:26.360 not take this seriously enough. You know, do you have 0:43:26.600 --> 0:43:28.640 insurance for firing your plant? 0:43:28.960 --> 0:43:29.400 Probably? 0:43:29.840 --> 0:43:32.440 Are you likely to have a fire? Probably not? Do 0:43:32.520 --> 0:43:35.200 you have sprinklers, the smoke detectors and all those sorts 0:43:35.200 --> 0:43:38.000 of things startler all on. I mean, I think people 0:43:38.160 --> 0:43:40.799 understand the threat in the physical world, but I think 0:43:40.800 --> 0:43:43.239 a lot of people still think I'm too small, I 0:43:43.320 --> 0:43:47.080 don't have anything we're stealing. And as a result of that, 0:43:47.440 --> 0:43:50.960 and frankly, because you know, there's a lot of confuse opy. 0:43:50.719 --> 0:43:52.600 Around this and a lot of nerves running around with 0:43:52.680 --> 0:43:55.399 a lot of jargon who probably aren't doing the world 0:43:55.920 --> 0:43:58.480 a favor by not trying to focus on this from 0:43:58.520 --> 0:44:01.879 a business perspective, in a perspective, which is what I'm 0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:03.799 always trying to get people to focus on forget all 0:44:03.840 --> 0:44:05.080 the technology. 0:44:04.600 --> 0:44:07.399 Forget the nurdery, think about your business and think about 0:44:07.400 --> 0:44:09.600 the risk. You know, how much downtime can you withstand? 0:44:10.000 --> 0:44:11.960 But because there is often not a focus on that, 0:44:12.120 --> 0:44:15.400 businesses are not taking it seriously and as a result 0:44:15.560 --> 0:44:17.120 making themselves easy targets. 0:44:18.360 --> 0:44:20.319 Well, let me let me ask you, David, with all 0:44:20.600 --> 0:44:26.040 considering all this stuff, how how valid is your cyber 0:44:26.200 --> 0:44:29.040 security system anymore? I mean, if I'm going to get 0:44:29.160 --> 0:44:32.600 one of these things for my whatever, my desktop or 0:44:32.680 --> 0:44:35.320 my laptop or whatever the case might be, is it 0:44:35.520 --> 0:44:37.240 inevitable that I'm going to get hacked? 0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:43.560 I wouldn't say it's inevitable, but it's it's very highly likely, 0:44:43.840 --> 0:44:45.919 especially if you don't believe that's ever going to happen 0:44:45.960 --> 0:44:48.520 to you, Right, And Yeah, the focus has shifted over 0:44:48.600 --> 0:44:51.200 time because I want to be really clear, guys. If 0:44:51.440 --> 0:44:54.759 it's let's say China or Russia decides that you have 0:44:55.000 --> 0:44:58.000 something they want, they're probably eventually going to get it 0:44:58.520 --> 0:45:01.040 because they have unlimited time and limited resources. 0:45:01.520 --> 0:45:01.680 You know. 0:45:01.800 --> 0:45:04.320 The FBI had recently said in the past they believe 0:45:04.400 --> 0:45:08.440 that China had a fifty to one advantage of attackers 0:45:08.560 --> 0:45:11.440 versus defenders here in the United States. You guys may 0:45:11.480 --> 0:45:14.440 have seen the stories here. North Korea are also part 0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:17.719 of that access of evil, and the FBI has talked 0:45:17.719 --> 0:45:19.920 about this. Anyone that's listening to this can they'll confirm 0:45:20.000 --> 0:45:23.280 everything I'm saying here just by business apps website. 0:45:22.880 --> 0:45:23.760 Searched on this stuff. 0:45:24.320 --> 0:45:27.480 North Korea is raising enormous amounts of money to us 0:45:27.480 --> 0:45:31.600 to run their government through cyber attacks, including having North 0:45:31.680 --> 0:45:37.520 Koreans pretend to be legitimate workers, get hired, get inside 0:45:37.560 --> 0:45:40.600 a company, and then steal stuff. You know, remote work 0:45:40.680 --> 0:45:43.400 is a big thing, right, everybody works remotely. Now you 0:45:43.520 --> 0:45:46.719 need a programmer, you hire a person that's remote. I 0:45:46.800 --> 0:45:48.880 think we talked about this, guys. You may recall there 0:45:48.960 --> 0:45:51.400 was a guy in Nashville who basically set up a 0:45:51.440 --> 0:45:55.239 server farm and had these remote hackers remoting into his 0:45:55.360 --> 0:45:58.640 servers in Nashville, so they appeared to be in America 0:45:59.000 --> 0:46:01.320 and then working for companies where they were stealing stuff, 0:46:01.680 --> 0:46:05.800 dealing money, dealing trade secrets, et cetera. So you know, 0:46:06.080 --> 0:46:08.560 there's nothing you can do to be completely impervious to 0:46:08.600 --> 0:46:10.560 this stuff, and anyone that tells you otherwise sort of 0:46:10.600 --> 0:46:14.160 getting off the grid and going like Ted Kazinski, it's 0:46:14.280 --> 0:46:16.680 not real. But what you can do is take what 0:46:16.840 --> 0:46:19.960 we nerds like to call a defense and depth approach, 0:46:20.120 --> 0:46:24.680 multiple layers. So you're trying to shield yourself, your employees, 0:46:24.760 --> 0:46:27.520 your organization, your family from as much of it as possible, 0:46:27.600 --> 0:46:29.880 trying to keep as much of the bad stuff out 0:46:29.920 --> 0:46:33.200 as possible, trying to train folks so they know what 0:46:33.320 --> 0:46:35.960 to look for, so they have awareness, they're more skeptical, 0:46:36.000 --> 0:46:38.560 they're less likely to click on the bad thing, and 0:46:38.640 --> 0:46:41.560 then ultimately build systems that are resilient so that in 0:46:41.719 --> 0:46:45.160 the event there is a successful attack, you can recover 0:46:45.320 --> 0:46:48.960 from it quickly, minimal downtime, don't need to pay a ransom. 0:46:49.040 --> 0:46:51.239 Doesn't mean there won't be consequences, like they'll leak your 0:46:51.280 --> 0:46:54.640 sensitive data baxtold or whatever. But you know a lot 0:46:54.719 --> 0:46:57.440 of companies that there's another company in the UK I 0:46:57.480 --> 0:46:59.320 can't roughly talk about this or not one hundred and 0:46:59.360 --> 0:47:02.399 fifty eight year old company because of bad passwords, bad 0:47:02.480 --> 0:47:05.800 guys get in hit it with ransomware, they're out of business. 0:47:05.840 --> 0:47:08.879 That seven hundred people lost their job. Well document easy 0:47:08.960 --> 0:47:11.560 to look up, so you know if you had the 0:47:11.640 --> 0:47:15.960 resilient piece. Right, they defeated your systems. If you had 0:47:16.000 --> 0:47:19.600 the resiliency piece in place, ideally you just wipe those systems. 0:47:19.760 --> 0:47:22.399 You're back online in a minimal amount of time. At 0:47:22.520 --> 0:47:26.480 least you're still in business. Right, You're not gone as 0:47:26.560 --> 0:47:29.040 a result, and all of these things are very doable. Again, 0:47:29.680 --> 0:47:31.239 a lot of it though. You need to focus on 0:47:31.440 --> 0:47:33.560 risk and you know, are you spending your money on 0:47:33.640 --> 0:47:35.600 the right things in the right places, and what's your 0:47:35.680 --> 0:47:39.160 risk tolerance? Guys, I've had guys tell me, yeah, I 0:47:39.160 --> 0:47:40.640 don't care about that. I just you know, if I 0:47:40.680 --> 0:47:42.359 got hit with a cyber attack, I'd just go out 0:47:42.360 --> 0:47:45.839 and buy all new computers and start over. Okay, if 0:47:45.920 --> 0:47:48.279 that works for your business, and you've considered what that 0:47:48.440 --> 0:47:50.800 would look like in terms of downtime and impact on 0:47:50.880 --> 0:47:54.080 your customers, Okay, I don't think most people don't have 0:47:54.200 --> 0:47:58.800 thought to what a really serious attack might do and 0:47:58.920 --> 0:47:59.560 how they might not. 0:47:59.640 --> 0:48:00.320 Recover from it. 0:48:01.280 --> 0:48:03.359 Yeah, it's not a good look when you just start 0:48:03.440 --> 0:48:09.839 shutting everything down. Uh, with the with that Dave had 0:48:09.920 --> 0:48:11.760 or we will let you go, buddy. It is always 0:48:11.800 --> 0:48:13.560 our pleasure, Thank you so much. 0:48:14.600 --> 0:48:16.160 My pleasure. You guys have a good one. 0:48:18.200 --> 0:48:20.319 And there he uh there he goes back down into 0:48:20.360 --> 0:48:23.600 his bunker. And we didn't even get into talking about 0:48:23.760 --> 0:48:28.120 the new color toilet that has a camera in it 0:48:28.239 --> 0:48:34.640 that analyzes the contents of your body. That's do you want? 0:48:34.719 --> 0:48:35.480 Do you excuse me? 0:48:35.680 --> 0:48:39.200 Do you want that? I don't think I want an 0:48:39.320 --> 0:48:43.040 instant update on what's going on inside me every time 0:48:43.080 --> 0:48:47.759 I go to the bathroom. Right, it's like, uh, yeah, 0:48:47.920 --> 0:48:51.160 it just give you a readout what happens. 0:48:51.239 --> 0:48:53.640 Man to ask you Dave about that one next time, 0:48:53.640 --> 0:48:56.680 because that sounds like, uh, that's something I told me. 0:48:56.800 --> 0:49:00.360 He's up in arms about the coffee maker. That's let's you, 0:49:00.520 --> 0:49:03.680 let's right, yeah, let alone the camera that's looking right, 0:49:03.920 --> 0:49:05.200 that's good. 0:49:05.840 --> 0:49:07.520 Yeah, And what's coming. 0:49:07.400 --> 0:49:11.800 Out of Yeah, I don't want to know with the 0:49:11.920 --> 0:49:13.680 I have a pretty good idea, but I don't really 0:49:13.719 --> 0:49:16.120 want to know with that. We check in with traffic 0:49:16.200 --> 0:49:17.880 and weather, what is going on going on. 0:49:19.520 --> 0:49:25.440 From the UC Health Traffic Center. The Lung Cancer Rapid 0:49:25.520 --> 0:49:28.279 Access Program at the UC Cancer Center is built to 0:49:28.360 --> 0:49:32.160 give you a care plan fast meet with a specialist 0:49:32.200 --> 0:49:34.319 in two days called five win three five feet five 0:49:34.480 --> 0:49:38.560 U see cee see, And traffic is sewing.

It's about a five 0:49:55.280 --> 0:49:58.440 minute trip through the area, and we do have police activity. 0:49:58.520 --> 0:50:01.080 The right lane blocked in Kentucky's seventy five north bound 0:50:01.080 --> 0:50:04.000 at US forty two, So plan on DeLay's here and 0:50:04.239 --> 0:50:06.719 that's due to an accident down the ramp that has 0:50:06.840 --> 0:50:09.479 now the ramp shutdown.

I wish you 0:51:07.719 --> 0:51:10.640 could save on home insurance. With All State, you could 0:51:10.719 --> 0:51:14.600 easily save and get quality protection. Yep, it's a win 0:51:14.680 --> 0:51:19.799 win Rocky today. So the trade deadline has passed, Jase. 0:51:20.840 --> 0:51:24.359 It indeed has, and it's pretty pretty much status quo 0:51:24.640 --> 0:51:27.080 since same angles. So for the fact that, as you 0:51:27.160 --> 0:51:31.320 heard there on our newscast Logan Wilson, veteran linebacker traded 0:51:31.360 --> 0:51:36.200 earlier today to the Dallas Cowboys for a in exchange 0:51:36.280 --> 0:51:39.400 for a seventh round draft pick next year, which is 0:51:39.480 --> 0:51:42.799 kind of like you basically just got his salary off 0:51:42.840 --> 0:51:44.960 your books is essentially I was going to say the 0:51:45.120 --> 0:51:47.759 salary move right, because let's be honest, this is a 0:51:47.800 --> 0:51:50.480 team that Now, there are some teams that you know, 0:51:51.360 --> 0:51:53.719 you think, oh yeah, they can find diamonds in the 0:51:53.840 --> 0:51:56.920 rough in the six and seventh rounds. The Cincinnati Bengals 0:51:56.960 --> 0:51:58.200 are not one of those teams. 0:51:58.040 --> 0:52:02.840 Correct, But it just goes to it just goes without 0:52:02.880 --> 0:52:05.400 saying then that Trey Hendrickson is not going anywhere. 0:52:05.520 --> 0:52:07.799 He remains a Bengal on the in the last year 0:52:07.840 --> 0:52:12.680 of his contract. And the Bengals, not surprisingly this is 0:52:13.600 --> 0:52:17.600 they don't change much and they've never been a team 0:52:17.680 --> 0:52:22.239 that tears things down or or ads pieces. You know, 0:52:22.400 --> 0:52:26.800 the the Joe Flacco trade was pretty pretty miraculous for 0:52:26.880 --> 0:52:31.040 their standards a month ago, but you know, this is 0:52:31.080 --> 0:52:36.360 a standard for how they've operated from really their entire existence. 0:52:36.520 --> 0:52:40.480 Is that, you know, the New York Jets basically said 0:52:40.520 --> 0:52:43.280 we're in rebuild mode. They traded a bunch of defensive 0:52:43.320 --> 0:52:46.719 players as well, Sauce Gardner over to Indianapolis. Yeah, I mean, 0:52:46.760 --> 0:52:49.719 that's a guy who's it's not that not that old. 0:52:49.760 --> 0:52:51.440 But they just basically said, all right, we're going into 0:52:51.480 --> 0:52:55.120 rebuild mode. That's really what the Bengals need to be 0:52:55.200 --> 0:52:58.560 doing with their defense. But they're in a really bad 0:52:58.640 --> 0:53:02.880 spot because you've got a incredible offense. 0:53:04.120 --> 0:53:04.720 Joe Burrow. 0:53:05.640 --> 0:53:08.480 Yeah, I mean supposedly going to be coming back at 0:53:08.520 --> 0:53:10.919 the Larry least next season fully healthy, you would think. 0:53:11.600 --> 0:53:13.680 And so they're in a really tough position because this 0:53:13.840 --> 0:53:17.160 is not an overnight fix or a one season fix 0:53:17.560 --> 0:53:18.320 for that defense. 0:53:18.840 --> 0:53:20.920 Coming up, we are going to be talking to old 0:53:20.920 --> 0:53:24.239 buddy Mark Amazon about this very thing, Mark with a 0:53:24.320 --> 0:53:27.680 C Amazon and what goes on, what's going on with 0:53:27.840 --> 0:53:30.560 these Bengals. But that's after the news right now, News 0:53:30.680 --> 0:53:33.080 Radio seven hundred WLW. 0:53:33.400 --> 0:53:38.840 News Traffic and Weather. News Radio seven hundred WLW. 0:53:39.600 --> 0:53:44.320 Cincinnati city leadership being decided tonight's with the four to 0:53:44.480 --> 0:53:47.120 thirty report. I'm Jack Crumbley breaking now. 0:53:47.400 --> 0:53:48.799 What we're going to see at the end of the day, 0:53:48.880 --> 0:53:52.440 I believe, is a statement that people are not happy 0:53:52.719 --> 0:53:55.120 with the current setup of city Hall. 0:53:55.280 --> 0:53:58.479 We're optimistic for a good night and like I said, 0:53:58.719 --> 0:54:01.080 really proud of this council and the record of achievement. 0:54:01.200 --> 0:54:04.760 Positive statements from both sides, Republican Corey Bowman and incumbent 0:54:04.840 --> 0:54:08.400 Democrat aftab pureval in the race for Cincinnati Mayor, one 0:54:08.400 --> 0:54:10.680 of the few big races on the ballot this election Day, 0:54:10.760 --> 0:54:14.360 twenty twenty five. All nine seats on Cincinnati City Council 0:54:14.400 --> 0:54:16.760 are open as well, with more than two dozen people 0:54:17.040 --> 0:54:20.200 running for them. Polls in Ohio or open until seven thirty. 0:54:20.440 --> 0:54:22.480 We did get word about an issue in Butler County. 0:54:22.520 --> 0:54:25.160 The Board of Elections says there was an incident at 0:54:25.200 --> 0:54:29.280 the Riley Township Community Center polling location.

I don't know what 0:59:23.120 --> 0:59:26.080 else there is to say, but damn it, we're going 0:59:26.160 --> 0:59:29.760 to say it. We have our guest right here, our 0:59:29.840 --> 0:59:32.560 old buddy love this guy, guy who's been on these 0:59:32.640 --> 0:59:37.040 airwaves many many times. He is our good friend. Mark Amazon, 0:59:37.880 --> 0:59:41.040 and Mark, you send me U. When I put out 0:59:41.120 --> 0:59:45.560 the tenerary today, I said, Mark Amazon, disgruntled Bengals fan. 0:59:46.560 --> 0:59:49.280 And I can vouch for that. Yes he did say that, 0:59:49.480 --> 0:59:54.040 And uh but dude, what you said? You got a 0:59:54.080 --> 0:59:55.760 lot on your chest and let's get it off. 0:59:55.880 --> 0:59:57.240 What Mark your. 0:59:57.200 --> 1:00:00.800 Thoughts, because I mean, I know, I buddy of mine's 1:00:00.840 --> 1:00:04.440 been years long season ticket holder and he's beside himself 1:00:04.520 --> 1:00:06.200 right now. Man, he's boiling. 1:00:07.440 --> 1:00:07.600 Well. 1:00:07.680 --> 1:00:10.440 Disgruntled season ticket holder is like one of the same, right, 1:00:10.520 --> 1:00:13.520 I mean, it's Bengals fan and disgruntled go hand in hand. 1:00:13.600 --> 1:00:19.720 It's it is. It reminds me of the late eighties, 1:00:20.200 --> 1:00:23.960 right when we thought but we got Boomer and Tim 1:00:24.040 --> 1:00:26.360 McGee and Eddie Brown and these guys are and this 1:00:26.480 --> 1:00:28.720 team is set to do this for a while. But 1:00:29.440 --> 1:00:31.400 I think it's about to get really really bad. 1:00:31.480 --> 1:00:31.720 Guys. 1:00:33.280 --> 1:00:35.800 Yeah, I'm with you on that mark with the c Amazon, 1:00:36.720 --> 1:00:41.360 I think that this team is heading for another dark 1:00:41.520 --> 1:00:44.600 period and in its history. And I don't mean that 1:00:45.120 --> 1:00:51.120 a decade or it just seems everything that's there's some 1:00:51.320 --> 1:00:56.520 nineteen nineties vibes and esque things that are happening right now. 1:00:56.720 --> 1:00:58.880 And when you really dig into it, I don't even 1:00:58.880 --> 1:01:02.480 think you really need to dig that deep this defense 1:01:03.040 --> 1:01:06.800 that it is. The problems are so deep and are 1:01:06.960 --> 1:01:10.000 not something that's going to be fixed. Knowing how this 1:01:10.160 --> 1:01:15.360 franchise operates in one off season, maybe in two off seasons, 1:01:15.440 --> 1:01:18.320 maybe in three off seasons. So when you look at 1:01:18.360 --> 1:01:21.400 how this team drafts, how this team has now got 1:01:21.800 --> 1:01:24.880 what forty some percent of its money tied up or 1:01:24.960 --> 1:01:27.680 this year's payroll tied up in what three or four players, 1:01:28.120 --> 1:01:30.920 and you know, put so much money on the offensive side, Like, 1:01:31.680 --> 1:01:34.240 how are you going to fix this defense. And we 1:01:34.360 --> 1:01:36.680 all we've seen enough of a sample size now, Mark 1:01:36.720 --> 1:01:40.680 to know you can't outscore teams and make think that 1:01:40.800 --> 1:01:43.720 that's a sustainable plan for making the playoffs, let alone 1:01:43.760 --> 1:01:44.360 the Super Bowl. 1:01:45.400 --> 1:01:47.440 Yeah, ja Z, you're absolutely right. So think about this 1:01:47.560 --> 1:01:49.400 for a second. You're saying two or three years, that's 1:01:49.400 --> 1:01:52.040 if you get the draft, right, Okay, that's if you 1:01:52.080 --> 1:01:54.680 don't draft Miles Murphy, if you don't draft Shamar Stewart, 1:01:54.920 --> 1:01:57.120 if you don't draft Chris Jenkiins, if you don't draft 1:01:57.240 --> 1:01:59.800 McKinley Jackson, who by the way, during the draft, they 1:02:00.120 --> 1:02:02.200 with a sixth round pick and the Bengals took in 1:02:02.280 --> 1:02:04.560 the third round. But I'm going to tell you something, 1:02:04.640 --> 1:02:07.080 and this is kind of you know, inside baseball, so 1:02:07.240 --> 1:02:10.320 to speak, But you guys know this, Jason, I know 1:02:10.400 --> 1:02:14.600 you know this. The game changed fundamentally in a huge 1:02:14.640 --> 1:02:16.480 way a couple of years ago. The Bengals have always 1:02:16.520 --> 1:02:19.080 been behind the times and behind the curve, but now 1:02:19.120 --> 1:02:22.040 we're in the nil era, which means these guys are 1:02:22.160 --> 1:02:25.760 drafted haven't already made million dollars. So let's look at 1:02:25.760 --> 1:02:28.760 Shamar Stewart. Shamar Steart made about four million dollars at 1:02:28.760 --> 1:02:31.120 Texas A and M. So you know, this is not 1:02:31.280 --> 1:02:33.720 the NFL where in the early eighties the Bengals could 1:02:33.760 --> 1:02:36.160 take Ricky Hunley and say take it or leave it. 1:02:36.920 --> 1:02:39.240 You know, it's not like with Alfred Williams in the 1:02:39.360 --> 1:02:42.160 nineties where they could force you to play. Shamar Steuart 1:02:42.200 --> 1:02:45.000 comes in, he's made four million dollars. Okay, he get 1:02:45.080 --> 1:02:49.080 the guaranteed contract nineteen million dollars ten point four up front. 1:02:49.160 --> 1:02:51.640 So as of right now, Shamar stored has made about 1:02:51.640 --> 1:02:54.800 fifteen million dollars. When he's done with this four year deal, 1:02:55.040 --> 1:02:58.000 assuming the Bengals don't exercise the fifth year, he's going 1:02:58.080 --> 1:03:00.160 to have made twenty three million dollars. You know that 1:03:00.280 --> 1:03:03.560 means you screw with him in the contract negotiations, right, 1:03:04.080 --> 1:03:07.640 and you start with two strikes against you. That's why 1:03:07.680 --> 1:03:09.920 Samar Stewart at a press conference after a game can 1:03:10.040 --> 1:03:12.200 laugh and say, yeah, we'll catch you guys on Monday. 1:03:12.440 --> 1:03:15.440 He doesn't care. He doesn't care. And it's such a 1:03:15.520 --> 1:03:18.760 bad way of doing business because you start these relationships 1:03:19.160 --> 1:03:21.400 in you know you're behind the eight ball from the 1:03:21.520 --> 1:03:24.920 very beginning, and that's going to work against the Bengals. 1:03:25.000 --> 1:03:28.200 I think these guys don't need a second contract anymore. Guys, 1:03:28.240 --> 1:03:32.240 they can live on college money and first round, four 1:03:32.320 --> 1:03:34.600 or five year money. They don't need a second deal. 1:03:35.480 --> 1:03:35.760 True. 1:03:36.520 --> 1:03:40.160 And Mark, let me, we're talking to Mark Amazon and 1:03:40.800 --> 1:03:44.160 people keep talking about the window of opportunity for the Bengals. 1:03:44.240 --> 1:03:47.919 The window is open, is the window? Blah blah blah. 1:03:48.160 --> 1:03:52.760 But how long does it take before your your Burrows 1:03:52.840 --> 1:03:55.640 and your Chases and your Higgins get frustrated by this 1:03:55.800 --> 1:03:58.520 spinning their tires? Man, sooner or later, it's just got 1:03:58.600 --> 1:03:59.600 to frustrate the hell. 1:03:59.440 --> 1:04:00.000 Out of these guys. 1:04:01.080 --> 1:04:02.960 Well, you know this is starting. Remember you guys have 1:04:03.040 --> 1:04:05.520 been here for a long time. And so you remember 1:04:05.680 --> 1:04:08.880 where were you guys February tenth, two thousand. Remember that day? 1:04:10.560 --> 1:04:11.600 That was the day. 1:04:13.080 --> 1:04:16.000 Ken Griffy Jr. Came to time, right, and it was 1:04:16.680 --> 1:04:19.560 it was a holiday, man, But the Red told came 1:04:19.600 --> 1:04:22.880 Griffy Jr. We're gonna get some pictures, right, And they 1:04:22.960 --> 1:04:26.440 never got the pictures and things soured really quickly. And 1:04:26.520 --> 1:04:28.960 I got to think it's a similar deal with Burrow. Hey, 1:04:29.000 --> 1:04:30.840 we're gonna get your team, We're gonna get to Chase, 1:04:31.120 --> 1:04:34.280 We're gonna get a workable defense. The way this thing 1:04:34.400 --> 1:04:36.600 is headed, this is going to become Carson Palmer two 1:04:36.600 --> 1:04:41.200 point zero, where Burrow's gonna get tired of wasting year 1:04:41.360 --> 1:04:44.880 after year nine and seven, throw for five thousand yards, 1:04:45.000 --> 1:04:47.840 score thirty eight points and lose games. I'm gonna say 1:04:47.920 --> 1:04:49.800 something and people are going to think I'm the biggest 1:04:49.840 --> 1:04:52.320 idiot in the world. And you can't do it right 1:04:52.400 --> 1:04:55.640 now without his permission, I would think about trading Joe Burrow. 1:04:56.680 --> 1:05:01.200 Wowing about that, think about. 1:05:00.960 --> 1:05:03.160 It, talk about starting over. 1:05:03.400 --> 1:05:04.000 That would do it. 1:05:05.200 --> 1:05:07.640 Well, he's got a full note trade cause first off, 1:05:07.760 --> 1:05:11.120 but he's gonna make a hundred million dollars the next 1:05:11.160 --> 1:05:13.880 two years, right, that's his baits and the pro rated 1:05:13.920 --> 1:05:16.760 signing bonus. That's one hundred million dollars. Do you know 1:05:16.840 --> 1:05:20.080 what one hundred million dollars buys you defensively in the 1:05:20.120 --> 1:05:24.240 free agent market. I mean, you could go into last 1:05:24.360 --> 1:05:27.880 year and take the top three guys with the Joe 1:05:27.960 --> 1:05:30.600 Burrow money, and look, I love Joe Burrow. There's nothing 1:05:30.640 --> 1:05:33.840 against Joe Burrow. He is phenomenal. We're scoring thirty eight 1:05:33.920 --> 1:05:37.880 points with Joe Flacco who's forty and can't raise his arm. 1:05:38.280 --> 1:05:42.120 I mean, Jamar Chase is so good to me, He 1:05:42.280 --> 1:05:45.040 is so far away the best receiver in football. He 1:05:45.160 --> 1:05:47.919 made Jake Browning look good two years ago. He's making 1:05:48.000 --> 1:05:51.920 Jake Joe Flacco look elite. Maybe with a decent quarterback 1:05:52.320 --> 1:05:56.280 and Higgins and Chase and some defenders with the Joe 1:05:56.360 --> 1:05:58.560 Burrow money, could that look better. 1:06:00.080 --> 1:06:00.440 Him in here? 1:06:00.560 --> 1:06:03.160 Mark, Because I'm I'm of the mind that I think 1:06:03.280 --> 1:06:06.680 you're You're now in that territory of there's been he's 1:06:06.720 --> 1:06:08.920 been hurt, he's injury prone. I think we can call 1:06:09.000 --> 1:06:12.479 him that now we're at that point. And I also 1:06:12.720 --> 1:06:15.200 just wonder, and you and again, this is just what 1:06:15.360 --> 1:06:17.840 I wonder. I'm wondering and out loud with you guys, 1:06:19.560 --> 1:06:22.200 that is he ever going to be the same because 1:06:22.200 --> 1:06:26.160 at some point one of these injuries, if another injury happens, 1:06:26.280 --> 1:06:28.240 or maybe it's the next one or the one after that, 1:06:28.520 --> 1:06:30.600 he's not going to be the same. At some point 1:06:30.680 --> 1:06:33.360 after one of these injuries. Who knows which one it is? 1:06:33.760 --> 1:06:34.400 Is it this one? 1:06:34.480 --> 1:06:37.560 This is what is now fourth major injury in his career, 1:06:37.680 --> 1:06:40.800 what his forced surgery right in his career? I guess 1:06:40.840 --> 1:06:43.000 you count the pendix being one of them. And this 1:06:43.200 --> 1:06:47.160 is what is fifth injury with the calf at some 1:06:47.360 --> 1:06:51.280 point here. Yeah, you wonder if Joe Burrow is going 1:06:51.400 --> 1:06:54.560 to be Joe Burrow as we know him, even in 1:06:54.680 --> 1:06:57.080 a Bengals uniform or whatever uniform he's in. 1:06:58.400 --> 1:07:01.360 That's a that's a very I mean, look, this is 1:07:01.640 --> 1:07:04.120 again I mentioned this to my son the other day, 1:07:04.280 --> 1:07:05.960 like you kidding me. I mean, you know this is 1:07:06.040 --> 1:07:07.840 not the way the NFL works, right, You get a 1:07:07.920 --> 1:07:11.520 quarterback and you ride that quarterback. But the secret sauce 1:07:11.600 --> 1:07:13.280 to all of it is when you get a quarterback 1:07:13.360 --> 1:07:16.000 in his rookie deal in his first five years. That 1:07:16.200 --> 1:07:18.120 was the beauty of the Bengals Super Bowl run. As 1:07:18.160 --> 1:07:21.360 they were paying you know, restricted money to Joe Burrow 1:07:21.480 --> 1:07:23.480 and they had that money and at the time they 1:07:23.560 --> 1:07:26.320 had the Awoozia's and the guys they brought in, the 1:07:26.760 --> 1:07:28.960 Von Bells and the Mike Hiltons and guys like that. 1:07:29.560 --> 1:07:33.760 I mean, this defense is so incredibly bad, and I 1:07:33.800 --> 1:07:36.040 feel like America is finally getting to see it that 1:07:36.200 --> 1:07:39.000 Colston Lovelin play with his joke guys. I mean, you know, 1:07:39.320 --> 1:07:43.280 Logan Wilson got created today. I look is Logan Wilson 1:07:43.320 --> 1:07:45.400 as good as he was three or four years ago. No, right, 1:07:45.520 --> 1:07:47.920 there's no doubt about it. But he's a pro like 1:07:48.040 --> 1:07:50.080 you know, he stands in there and plays the game. 1:07:50.400 --> 1:07:54.000 I mean, these guys made two different business decisions not 1:07:54.160 --> 1:07:57.040 to get run over. That one guy's moving away from 1:07:57.080 --> 1:08:00.880 the play, which is inexplicable. And you know, there's no consequence. 1:08:01.280 --> 1:08:04.080 There's no consequence, there's no accountability. Guys are in the 1:08:04.160 --> 1:08:06.600 locker rooms. They we'll talk to you on Monday. It's bad. 1:08:07.320 --> 1:08:07.440 Now. 1:08:07.640 --> 1:08:09.560 Let me let me ask you guys this, because of 1:08:09.640 --> 1:08:14.080 all these uh, these defensive moves they've made, these faux paus. 1:08:14.880 --> 1:08:17.920 What what is that attributable to? Just you know, the 1:08:18.320 --> 1:08:20.840 old school thinking gonna stand my ground. We're not going 1:08:20.920 --> 1:08:23.840 to overpay you, even though it wouldn't have hurt to 1:08:23.920 --> 1:08:26.400 pay a von Bell or something or a Hilton somebody 1:08:26.560 --> 1:08:28.640 like that to stay. What What the hell is the 1:08:28.800 --> 1:08:29.720 what's the thinking here? 1:08:31.400 --> 1:08:34.639 I mean from my part, I mean, look, those guys 1:08:34.680 --> 1:08:38.040 are diminished, right, I mean Von Bell, Mike Hilton were diminished. 1:08:38.120 --> 1:08:40.439 The bigger problem is you got to replace these guys, 1:08:40.960 --> 1:08:44.240 and the draft has been so awful, and I mean, look, man, 1:08:45.120 --> 1:08:48.639 have you seen Duke COVID's resume may have you if 1:08:48.680 --> 1:08:51.240 you take the time to look at Duke Covid his resume, 1:08:51.360 --> 1:08:53.719 you know at the top you have present. There's nothing 1:08:53.840 --> 1:08:56.200 under it, like this is the only job he's ever had. 1:08:56.320 --> 1:08:57.160 Man, I mean it is. 1:08:57.720 --> 1:09:00.920 You know, I hate to throw like baby out, but 1:09:01.400 --> 1:09:03.759 I mean he comes from a football family. He played 1:09:03.760 --> 1:09:06.439 a little bit. He's never done anything else. He has 1:09:06.520 --> 1:09:10.000 been here for twenty years with the smallest staff in football, 1:09:10.400 --> 1:09:13.720 and it is with after whiff after whiff the last 1:09:13.800 --> 1:09:16.960 five years. Now, there was some good, right, the Jermaine Pratt, 1:09:17.040 --> 1:09:19.840 the Logan Wilson. For a while they were crushing these 1:09:19.880 --> 1:09:23.320 third and fourth round picks. But the last four years 1:09:23.720 --> 1:09:27.599 they are absolutely desolate. And look, even if a Marius 1:09:27.720 --> 1:09:32.000 Mems becomes a great tackle, Miles Murphy's done it like 1:09:32.120 --> 1:09:35.000 there is there is not a professional pass rusher there. 1:09:35.360 --> 1:09:37.760 And the Shamar Stewart thing was botched. I mean, these 1:09:37.840 --> 1:09:41.040 guys don't need it the way they used to. You 1:09:41.160 --> 1:09:43.880 don't have the level of control that he used to have. 1:09:44.280 --> 1:09:47.560 And the Browns and Duke Tobin, they they haven't learned that. 1:09:47.720 --> 1:09:49.280 They haven't gotten that memo yet. 1:09:51.000 --> 1:09:54.640 Very very well, said Mark and along those lines to 1:09:54.720 --> 1:09:58.880 piggyback off what you said. My thoughts on this is 1:09:58.920 --> 1:10:02.600 that they are now fully exposed in that what they 1:10:02.680 --> 1:10:05.120 did in the Joe Burrow area was they decided that 1:10:05.479 --> 1:10:07.519 money wise, they were going to go all in on 1:10:07.640 --> 1:10:09.799 this offense. They are obsessed with offense. 1:10:10.000 --> 1:10:10.160 You know. 1:10:10.240 --> 1:10:13.599 They've paid big, big money to Joe Burrow, to Jamar Chase, 1:10:13.880 --> 1:10:15.920 to T Higgins, a guy that I think that they 1:10:15.960 --> 1:10:18.280 didn't need to bring back, but Joe Burrow wanted him back, 1:10:18.560 --> 1:10:20.760 so they decided to pay big money to him. They 1:10:20.880 --> 1:10:23.439 paid big money to Orlando Brown Junior. They brought in 1:10:23.600 --> 1:10:26.120 Kappa who's no longer here. They paid big money to him. 1:10:26.160 --> 1:10:29.479 They paid big money to Ted Carriss. And so when 1:10:29.520 --> 1:10:31.880 you've you know, in the NFL with the salary cap, 1:10:31.960 --> 1:10:33.960 when you've decided you're going to spend all your money 1:10:34.040 --> 1:10:37.200 on that side, well then you better dog on well 1:10:37.400 --> 1:10:42.479 draft really well on the defensive side. And they just don't. 1:10:42.560 --> 1:10:42.760 They do. 1:10:42.960 --> 1:10:46.479 They are not good at evaluating talent, and that's been 1:10:46.760 --> 1:10:49.479 very historical for them. That's not an overnight thing where 1:10:49.520 --> 1:10:51.160 they just all of a sudden, they just don't know 1:10:51.200 --> 1:10:54.160 how to evaluate talent. You know, you can get a 1:10:54.240 --> 1:10:56.559 Joe Burrow in the first round, and that's a slam dunk. 1:10:56.600 --> 1:10:58.920 He's going to be great for any team. Jamar Chase 1:10:59.000 --> 1:11:00.479 is going to be great for any team. These are 1:11:00.560 --> 1:11:04.240 generational talents, and so you were so bad for so 1:11:04.400 --> 1:11:07.439 long you fall into getting those draft picks. So you 1:11:07.520 --> 1:11:09.920 don't really get a lot of credit for drafting those guys. 1:11:10.200 --> 1:11:12.639 It's those guys that you're drafting the second and third 1:11:12.680 --> 1:11:15.200 and fourth and fifth rounds. And go look at what 1:11:15.600 --> 1:11:18.479 they've drafted here on defense over the last you know, 1:11:18.520 --> 1:11:20.879 I think somebody had a stat that they've drafted sixteen 1:11:20.960 --> 1:11:25.160 players defensive players since twenty twenty two, and not a 1:11:25.240 --> 1:11:28.240 one of those guys as a significant contributor for this 1:11:28.400 --> 1:11:32.000 football team right now. And that's it right there. That's 1:11:32.080 --> 1:11:36.200 the story that they are just not good at drafting, 1:11:36.280 --> 1:11:39.400 and they were forced by their decision to spend all 1:11:39.439 --> 1:11:43.240 this money on the offense. They forced themselves into then, okay, 1:11:43.280 --> 1:11:46.200 we're going to build the defense to the draft, and 1:11:46.880 --> 1:11:50.320 we see that that hasn't worked out. Because they have 1:11:50.400 --> 1:11:54.519 the smallest scouting staff in the NFL. You know, they'll 1:11:54.560 --> 1:11:58.680 say that Duke's not the general manager, and like the 1:11:58.760 --> 1:12:02.840 whole thing is just needs to be completely overhauled and 1:12:03.000 --> 1:12:04.920 they need to add more, and we can go on 1:12:05.040 --> 1:12:07.360 and on. Eddie's given me the we got to cut 1:12:07.439 --> 1:12:11.160 this off signals. So because Mark, we could keep going 1:12:11.200 --> 1:12:13.200 all the way up until Lance's in here in an 1:12:13.200 --> 1:12:14.599 hour and then he's gonna pick it up. 1:12:14.920 --> 1:12:18.120 He's gonna run with it for three hours, three hours. 1:12:20.479 --> 1:12:22.320 What let me let me throw one last thing out, 1:12:22.360 --> 1:12:24.799 because you know, I keep seeing people in the media 1:12:25.000 --> 1:12:28.160 and fans say, well, you know, if fans stop buying 1:12:28.240 --> 1:12:31.560 tickets to send a message that means nothing. Like the 1:12:31.920 --> 1:12:34.760 last piece about this is when this changes. And the 1:12:34.840 --> 1:12:37.920 only time this ever changes is when sweet sales go down. 1:12:38.400 --> 1:12:41.880 If the Bengals don't sell ten thousand tickets for a game, 1:12:42.360 --> 1:12:46.639 ticket prices are tickets revenues are aggregated divided by thirty 1:12:46.680 --> 1:12:49.080 two right around the league. So if the Bengals don't 1:12:49.120 --> 1:12:51.559 sell out, nobody cares about that. So they don't care. 1:12:51.760 --> 1:12:54.879 It's when they don't sell sweets that it makes the difference. 1:12:55.000 --> 1:12:59.880 But yeah, because Mark, they made the Bengals made four 1:13:00.439 --> 1:13:03.679 and thirty seven million dollars last year in the NFL 1:13:03.800 --> 1:13:07.040 revenue sharing. That's whether they're good or bad, or they 1:13:07.080 --> 1:13:10.000 don't put one fan in the stands. They made that 1:13:10.160 --> 1:13:11.919 off of the TV deal alone. 1:13:13.400 --> 1:13:15.600 Yep, that's what matters to them. I mean it is 1:13:15.840 --> 1:13:19.040 you know, you're sharing with the Dallas Cowboys, and the 1:13:19.200 --> 1:13:23.000 stuff that is uniquely yours is what matters to them. 1:13:23.280 --> 1:13:25.080 But I mean, look, you talked about this is not 1:13:25.200 --> 1:13:27.479 a new thing. I mean, Paul Brown lay on his 1:13:27.600 --> 1:13:30.559 deathbed and among his final words to Mike Brown were 1:13:30.880 --> 1:13:34.160 don't draft David Klingler. Right, how'd that work out? I mean, 1:13:34.200 --> 1:13:36.680 you know this is this is rotten from the from 1:13:36.720 --> 1:13:40.400 the top down, and it ain't changing anytime soon. Guys, 1:13:40.680 --> 1:13:43.240 Hey was fun brainstorming with you. I would love it 1:13:43.280 --> 1:13:45.479 if they would take this one of these ideas. It 1:13:45.560 --> 1:13:46.120 ain't happening. 1:13:46.200 --> 1:13:47.320 We all know it, all right. 1:13:47.479 --> 1:13:50.040 With that, Mark, we will let you go, buddy, real pleasure. 1:13:50.120 --> 1:13:55.519 Thanks so much, Mike Bet, Thanks Mandara, Mark Amazon with 1:13:55.640 --> 1:13:57.040 that wayhead to traffic and weather. 1:13:57.160 --> 1:13:57.880 What is going on? 1:13:58.720 --> 1:13:58.840 Man? 1:13:58.920 --> 1:14:00.960 From the UC Hell Traffic Center.

And I don't 1:16:11.520 --> 1:16:13.479 know if people saw the moon last night, but boy 1:16:13.600 --> 1:16:17.080 it was pretty bright. So it's getting super every day here. 1:16:17.200 --> 1:16:17.280 Now. 1:16:17.360 --> 1:16:19.600 I mean, this isn't that huge of a deal. Like, 1:16:20.040 --> 1:16:21.680 it's not like the Moon's going to be twice as 1:16:21.720 --> 1:16:26.280 big as normal. It will be noticeably larger and really bright. 1:16:26.400 --> 1:16:28.519 As it rise up higher, you're gonna see it shining 1:16:28.640 --> 1:16:31.080 your window. And so for me, I think it's just 1:16:31.160 --> 1:16:33.160 a great excuse to get people out there do some 1:16:33.280 --> 1:16:35.400 stargazing and check this thing out. 1:16:36.320 --> 1:16:40.200 What do you when you're looking at it at All Park? 1:16:40.280 --> 1:16:41.920 Are you looking at it with the naked eye, are 1:16:41.960 --> 1:16:44.960 you looking at it with telescopes? Or what all do 1:16:45.000 --> 1:16:45.639 you do out there? 1:16:46.880 --> 1:16:49.160 Yeah, the public event I'm leading is yet the top 1:16:49.240 --> 1:16:51.720 of All Park, where the pavilion is. We're have some 1:16:51.800 --> 1:16:54.680 telescopes set up up there. Watch the moon rise up there, 1:16:54.760 --> 1:16:58.840 and then it's really it's some people are posting this 1:16:59.000 --> 1:17:01.200 and I agree, it's like not the best time to 1:17:01.240 --> 1:17:04.000 look at it through a telescope. It's almost blindingly bright 1:17:04.120 --> 1:17:06.720 through a telescope, and you'll get to see quite as 1:17:06.800 --> 1:17:09.599 many of the detail, like the shadows aren't on there 1:17:09.680 --> 1:17:12.800 quite as much. Uh So we'll be looking at that 1:17:12.880 --> 1:17:15.360 with the naked eye, do a little howling, and then 1:17:15.520 --> 1:17:18.680 go to the other show that is looking through the 1:17:18.720 --> 1:17:21.840 telescope and showing people Saturn in the telescope, and that 1:17:22.080 --> 1:17:23.040 just looks dynamite. 1:17:23.080 --> 1:17:23.760 It looks like this. 1:17:24.240 --> 1:17:27.640 Cartoon little planet with a ring around it, and so 1:17:27.760 --> 1:17:31.000 we'll show people that. So yeah, we got a whole 1:17:31.040 --> 1:17:33.200 bunch of different things happening for that at All Parks. 1:17:33.240 --> 1:17:35.759 So yeah, moon rise is about five twenty five pm 1:17:35.960 --> 1:17:38.240 and then the event goes from six to eight, so 1:17:38.360 --> 1:17:40.639 you can just come on up free to the public 1:17:40.760 --> 1:17:43.080 and uh yeah, we'll check out some stars and the 1:17:43.120 --> 1:17:44.559 full moon and. 1:17:45.000 --> 1:17:47.320 So yeah, it's going to be cool to be driving 1:17:47.400 --> 1:17:53.439 home tomorrow night being over to sound it. So but Dan, 1:17:53.560 --> 1:17:56.000 let me let me ask you, where's the best viewing 1:17:56.960 --> 1:17:59.880 for stargazing and stuff like that? 1:18:00.280 --> 1:18:00.559 The moon? 1:18:00.600 --> 1:18:03.880 I mean, obviously All Parks is a beautiful place, but 1:18:03.960 --> 1:18:06.560 it's there with all the city lights surrounding it. I 1:18:06.600 --> 1:18:08.479 mean as far out in the country as you can get. 1:18:08.560 --> 1:18:10.839 Is that pretty much your optimal situation? 1:18:12.120 --> 1:18:14.880 Oh yeah, I mean to see more stars. Definitely want 1:18:14.920 --> 1:18:17.080 to get away from the city lights with that moon 1:18:17.240 --> 1:18:20.240 up there, good luck, You're going to be hard pressed 1:18:20.320 --> 1:18:23.240 finding a dark skies anywhere right now for that because 1:18:23.280 --> 1:18:25.760 that moon is going to be so bright. So yeah, 1:18:25.800 --> 1:18:28.599 we usually recommend people get out to the state parks 1:18:28.600 --> 1:18:31.800 that are out of town, but for people that are 1:18:31.840 --> 1:18:35.640 in the city. The Cincinnati parks system is awesome. I 1:18:35.720 --> 1:18:38.120 mean they are most of the parks are open till 1:18:38.360 --> 1:18:41.400 ten o'clock at night, and you get some pretty good 1:18:41.520 --> 1:18:43.479 views and you can get away from a little bit 1:18:43.520 --> 1:18:45.560 of the city lights and places like Alt Park and 1:18:45.640 --> 1:18:50.400 Alms Park and Mount Echo and some other places around town. 1:18:51.000 --> 1:18:54.760 So yeah, it's you know, it's just I just like 1:18:54.840 --> 1:18:57.400 to get people to look that's the big thing, and 1:18:57.479 --> 1:19:00.479 take the time. And I got to be honest, when 1:19:00.560 --> 1:19:04.040 the supermoon thing happened, like maybe ten years ago, when 1:19:04.040 --> 1:19:06.760 I first came around, I was like, eah, this thing. 1:19:06.960 --> 1:19:09.600 I mean, I mean, so what nobody's gonna notice? And 1:19:09.880 --> 1:19:12.840 so we didn't have I did an event grudgingly, and 1:19:12.960 --> 1:19:14.840 I found it. People loved it. I mean they were 1:19:14.920 --> 1:19:18.000 just like sitting on the grass there watching the moon rise. 1:19:18.120 --> 1:19:21.920 Their phones were off, They're talking to each other. So 1:19:22.080 --> 1:19:25.519 I was a supermoon convert. I'm like, hey, yeah, people 1:19:25.640 --> 1:19:29.200 go out and do watch this. I'm all for that, Dean. 1:19:29.320 --> 1:19:32.639 For those of us who are have to read Outer 1:19:32.760 --> 1:19:35.880 Space for dummies to understand and listen to you. Of course, 1:19:36.920 --> 1:19:39.800 what you said, this only comes around what once every 1:19:39.880 --> 1:19:42.760 ten years, and why is that, and is it the 1:19:42.920 --> 1:19:46.320 Earth is closer to the Moon than a certain point here, 1:19:46.520 --> 1:19:48.599 Like what can you explain kind of the the one 1:19:48.680 --> 1:19:49.920 oh one of the supermoon. 1:19:51.080 --> 1:19:54.120 Yeah? Absolutely, I mean the Moon goes around the Earth, 1:19:54.160 --> 1:19:56.200 but it doesn't go around in like a perfect circle. 1:19:56.320 --> 1:19:58.960 So there's sometimes in its orbit where it's closer to 1:19:59.120 --> 1:20:01.200 the Earth than some times is farther from the Earth. 1:20:01.720 --> 1:20:04.839 And so it's one of those things where it matches 1:20:04.920 --> 1:20:07.599 up where it's closest to the Earth and a full 1:20:07.680 --> 1:20:11.800 moon at the same time. And there's some other things 1:20:11.920 --> 1:20:14.519 like some of the NASA websites they've been trying to 1:20:14.960 --> 1:20:17.439 milk this thing, and they make like three super moons 1:20:17.479 --> 1:20:20.080 every year, like where it's close and kind of big. 1:20:20.880 --> 1:20:23.000 I always like to opt for the one, you know, 1:20:23.120 --> 1:20:25.680 let's just do it one time. And so this one 1:20:25.800 --> 1:20:28.479 is the closest. There was a pretty good one last month, 1:20:28.520 --> 1:20:30.120 and there'll be a pretty good one next month, but 1:20:30.240 --> 1:20:33.840 this one will be technically the best. And if people 1:20:33.960 --> 1:20:36.559 really want to get nerdy about this, the moon rise 1:20:36.960 --> 1:20:39.040 is not the closest approach. 1:20:38.760 --> 1:20:39.519 Will be to the Moon. 1:20:40.360 --> 1:20:43.439 It'll be at around midnight tomorrow night, where the moon 1:20:43.479 --> 1:20:46.320 will be only two hundred and eighteen thousand miles away. 1:20:46.960 --> 1:20:48.519 That's about as close as you're gonna get to the 1:20:48.600 --> 1:20:52.240 moon ever, And because usually the moon is about two 1:20:52.320 --> 1:20:54.160 hundred and forty thousand miles away, so this is a 1:20:54.560 --> 1:20:57.040 pretty good chunk of distance, a little bit closer to us. 1:20:57.160 --> 1:20:59.360 Hey, you know, putting that perspective, I got a two 1:20:59.400 --> 1:21:01.640 hundred and forty one thousand miles on my truck, so 1:21:01.720 --> 1:21:02.719 that's not that far away. 1:21:03.560 --> 1:21:07.240 You've you've driven enough to go to the moon, not back, 1:21:07.360 --> 1:21:08.280 but to the moon at least. 1:21:08.360 --> 1:21:12.000 Yeap, So and let me get because Dean, we talked 1:21:12.000 --> 1:21:14.800 about this before. What is this going to look like? 1:21:15.000 --> 1:21:19.000 Because I think I told you this has been years 1:21:19.040 --> 1:21:19.599 and years ago. 1:21:19.760 --> 1:21:20.320 I remember. 1:21:21.520 --> 1:21:23.479 I don't know if it was just the perspective that 1:21:23.640 --> 1:21:27.040 I had, but man, the it was about this time 1:21:27.080 --> 1:21:29.760 of year and the sun or the moon came up 1:21:30.479 --> 1:21:33.080 and it looked like it took up half of this 1:21:33.600 --> 1:21:37.240 horizon as it was rising. Now, I don't know what 1:21:37.640 --> 1:21:40.040 what does that do to when you get that kind 1:21:40.080 --> 1:21:42.800 of view, mean that it looked like, you know, five 1:21:42.920 --> 1:21:44.400 times the size of the moon regular. 1:21:45.800 --> 1:21:48.320 Yeah, it's really cool when you watch the moon rise. 1:21:48.400 --> 1:21:51.160 I think that's the best part the best time, because 1:21:51.479 --> 1:21:53.439 when it's lower on the horizon, it does have this 1:21:53.680 --> 1:21:57.519 like optical illusion. This makes me seem bigger in your 1:21:57.560 --> 1:22:01.200 brain than it actually is. And then when it's up 1:22:01.240 --> 1:22:03.080 higher in the sky, it takes kind of its normal 1:22:03.200 --> 1:22:06.720 size and your brain and so astronomers and scientists have 1:22:06.720 --> 1:22:09.840 been studying this phenomenon. It's called the moon illusion. And 1:22:10.040 --> 1:22:12.280 it was first thought that it's just because you have 1:22:12.439 --> 1:22:15.320 these reference points like trees and houses and that kind 1:22:15.360 --> 1:22:19.720 of stuff. And so some of the smarter eggheads were like, yeah, 1:22:19.880 --> 1:22:22.479 it's not really that, because it doesn't it's not actually bigger. 1:22:23.040 --> 1:22:25.639 It just looks bigger in our brain. And so it's 1:22:25.800 --> 1:22:30.360 a brain illusion. Our brains are fooling ourselves into thinking 1:22:30.439 --> 1:22:34.040 it's actually bigger. It's really is the same size, it 1:22:34.240 --> 1:22:38.639 just looks like it to us. And so I used 1:22:38.680 --> 1:22:42.040 to do this TV show on PBS called Stargazers if 1:22:42.080 --> 1:22:46.640 anybody remembers, that would fly through space on hoverboards and 1:22:47.200 --> 1:22:49.320 it was always on at a convenient one am. So 1:22:49.400 --> 1:22:51.360 if you didn't see it, I'm not too hurt. But 1:22:52.720 --> 1:22:55.280 I inherited that show from a guy named Jack Horkheimer. 1:22:55.400 --> 1:22:57.920 He was the guy that would come on PBS's late 1:22:57.960 --> 1:22:59.679 at night and talk about what's up in the space. 1:23:00.280 --> 1:23:02.879 And he said, the way you come bat the moon illusion, 1:23:03.000 --> 1:23:05.760 I am not joking, is you turn your back to it, 1:23:06.560 --> 1:23:10.880 look upside down, through your legs backwards at the moon 1:23:11.000 --> 1:23:14.519 upside down, and they'll turn normal size. Now I thought 1:23:14.560 --> 1:23:18.280 he was joking with me, and I thought I thought. 1:23:18.360 --> 1:23:20.439 I thought, man, okay, so he's pulling this thing, and 1:23:20.560 --> 1:23:22.280 I'm I'm not going to do it. I'm not going 1:23:22.360 --> 1:23:23.920 to do it in front of him, that's for sure. 1:23:24.280 --> 1:23:25.960 So there was one night where I had the full 1:23:26.040 --> 1:23:28.880 moon rise and nobody was around, and I did it, 1:23:29.040 --> 1:23:34.160 and I swear it worked. So I I encourage people 1:23:34.240 --> 1:23:37.720 to try this at home when nobody's looking, and who knows, 1:23:37.800 --> 1:23:39.680 maybe tomorrow night at allt Park, I'll do it too, 1:23:39.760 --> 1:23:40.599 with everybody looking. 1:23:40.640 --> 1:23:40.960 I don't know. 1:23:41.080 --> 1:23:45.479 Well, we'll see how it works. But it's like one 1:23:45.520 --> 1:23:47.360 of those things. I thought, this is a joke, come on, 1:23:47.800 --> 1:23:49.360 and then I did it and actually did work. 1:23:50.000 --> 1:23:52.120 You have to there, you go, Dean. You have to 1:23:52.240 --> 1:23:53.240 be with the group tomorrow. 1:23:53.280 --> 1:23:53.640 You have to. 1:23:55.680 --> 1:23:58.639 Everybody. We're going to do some yoga moon gazing here, 1:23:59.200 --> 1:23:59.960 just for a few minutes. 1:24:00.040 --> 1:24:02.080 Take a picture and put that on a social Dude, 1:24:02.120 --> 1:24:03.439 you all get a million views. 1:24:04.800 --> 1:24:06.280 I mean, the problem is I don't know if I'll 1:24:06.280 --> 1:24:07.000 be able to get back up. 1:24:07.120 --> 1:24:07.640 That's the thing. 1:24:07.840 --> 1:24:09.280 It doesn't go down there now, but I don't know 1:24:09.280 --> 1:24:10.920 about getting back up again, so I might. 1:24:10.880 --> 1:24:11.439 Need some help. 1:24:13.800 --> 1:24:16.920 Yeah, go ahead, Oh go ahead? Oh what is it 1:24:18.160 --> 1:24:21.080 forgive again? Forgive my ignorance on this? Like you go 1:24:21.240 --> 1:24:24.840 to Alt Park? Is it does it just being up 1:24:24.880 --> 1:24:29.040 on a hill even allow for a better view or 1:24:29.120 --> 1:24:31.599 is it just because that's a big gathering space. 1:24:32.280 --> 1:24:35.040 Oh yeah, yeah, anybody can see it anywhere. I'm doing 1:24:35.080 --> 1:24:37.040 it at All Parks just because I love All Park. 1:24:37.120 --> 1:24:40.560 It's and I been working with the Cincinnati Parks for 1:24:40.760 --> 1:24:43.160 a long time, and it's a great place. It's a 1:24:43.240 --> 1:24:47.640 good gathering spot of the Yeah, it really is. And 1:24:47.920 --> 1:24:51.479 it's pretty decently dark up there too, So I always 1:24:51.520 --> 1:24:53.000 go up to All Park to if I want to 1:24:53.000 --> 1:24:54.920 look at something low on the horizon, because it's got 1:24:55.000 --> 1:24:59.160 good views to the horizon. But yeah, we'll be showing 1:24:59.200 --> 1:25:02.040 people Saturn tomorrow night. That's going to be a real 1:25:02.160 --> 1:25:07.360 cool highlight. And yeah, it's almost like an excuse to 1:25:07.400 --> 1:25:09.360 get people out under the stars and then we'll show 1:25:09.360 --> 1:25:11.240 them Saturn and then that's what they're going to be like, 1:25:11.560 --> 1:25:13.040 Saturn is the real highlight. 1:25:13.360 --> 1:25:15.960 And how many telescopes would you say you have scattered 1:25:15.960 --> 1:25:16.400 about there? 1:25:17.680 --> 1:25:20.920 Good question.

And you can maybe 1:26:15.120 --> 1:26:17.720 even see some earlier in the week two once the 1:26:17.800 --> 1:26:20.240 full moon gets out of the way. So yeah, those 1:26:20.280 --> 1:26:23.080 are the big events coming up, So lots to see 1:26:23.120 --> 1:26:23.400 up there. 1:26:24.680 --> 1:26:28.240 Some of your friends in the in the stargazing world, 1:26:28.360 --> 1:26:31.760 you said, have some meteorite rocks.

They they don't just 1:26:56.080 --> 1:26:57.720 like go out and collect them. Some of them do, 1:26:57.920 --> 1:27:04.040 but mostly they they deal with reputable fines, reputable falls 1:27:05.040 --> 1:27:07.920 where they have these rocks at the sell from space. 1:27:08.040 --> 1:27:11.479 Most of them are gathered in the Sahara Desert and 1:27:11.760 --> 1:27:14.599 the Antarctic continent because it's on top of the sand 1:27:14.720 --> 1:27:17.400 or on top of the snow, and so it's a 1:27:17.439 --> 1:27:19.400 little bit easier. You can just pick things up on 1:27:19.560 --> 1:27:22.200 top of whatever's on top. Fell from up above, and 1:27:22.600 --> 1:27:24.320 so yeah, people do ask me, they're like, what do 1:27:24.400 --> 1:27:26.360 you trust these guys, Like, I mean, what if what 1:27:26.400 --> 1:27:29.080 if they're just giving you like limestone from you know, 1:27:29.240 --> 1:27:32.560 from the East End or something like that.

Just a little while longer, 1:31:08.600 --> 1:31:11.639 but before we get out of here on Election Day, Jase. 1:31:11.840 --> 1:31:14.720 Of course, it seems like every year it gets this 1:31:15.040 --> 1:31:19.080 type of thing gets more and more prevalent. Let's talk 1:31:19.120 --> 1:31:22.960 to our good friend Don Mahallick. He is the law 1:31:23.040 --> 1:31:29.120 enforcement contributor retired senior service agent for ABC News. And Don, 1:31:29.200 --> 1:31:30.880 what's the latestest thing out of Jersey. 1:31:30.960 --> 1:31:31.160 Huh? 1:31:33.000 --> 1:31:36.280 Well, Jersey apparently has gotten a bunch of threats directed 1:31:36.320 --> 1:31:39.200 towards the polling places, and those threats have forced the 1:31:39.240 --> 1:31:41.720 polling place to be closed down for a while while 1:31:41.760 --> 1:31:45.679 the Jersey law enforcement agencies go in and actually sweep 1:31:45.720 --> 1:31:48.880 and check the places. These are legit bomb threats that 1:31:48.960 --> 1:31:52.200 are coming in which after investigation, turned out to be hoaxes. 1:31:52.720 --> 1:31:55.040 But you know what raises the issue once again about 1:31:55.080 --> 1:31:59.040 election security and election safety and the fact that we're 1:31:59.080 --> 1:32:02.320 dealing with an environ where the voter is being targeted 1:32:02.600 --> 1:32:05.120 and to move the voter in a different direction or 1:32:05.160 --> 1:32:08.200 to dissuade the voter from voting and participating in democracy. 1:32:08.720 --> 1:32:12.320 And those threats come from foreign actors or domestic actors 1:32:13.160 --> 1:32:15.720 a lot online, but also now we're seeing it in 1:32:15.760 --> 1:32:18.439 live real time with a legit, you know, old school 1:32:19.240 --> 1:32:21.640 threat of a bomb, a bomb at one of these 1:32:21.680 --> 1:32:25.800 polling locations. It's a sad status, but thankfully it seems 1:32:25.840 --> 1:32:28.000 like the people in New Jersey are handling it appropriately. 1:32:28.720 --> 1:32:33.160 Is there something in particular on the ballot in New 1:32:33.280 --> 1:32:36.360 Jersey that's very hotly contested this year? I know here 1:32:36.400 --> 1:32:38.240 in Ohio we don't have there's not a lot of 1:32:38.280 --> 1:32:41.519 hotly contested things on the ballot, but and just wondering 1:32:41.520 --> 1:32:44.080 if that is New Jersey specific thing. 1:32:44.240 --> 1:32:44.720 Going on there? 1:32:44.720 --> 1:32:48.639 To the governor's race in New Jersey is a very 1:32:48.680 --> 1:32:52.960 hot contest because it's probably closer than people think, and 1:32:53.960 --> 1:32:56.080 I think the bomb threats are a response to that. 1:32:56.120 --> 1:32:58.880 It's interesting to bomb threats coming. I think they were 1:32:58.920 --> 1:33:03.559 focused around Newark, Jersey versus some other parts of the state. 1:33:04.200 --> 1:33:06.439 That might be an indication of the where the threats 1:33:06.439 --> 1:33:09.280 are emanating from. But either way, it just interferes with 1:33:09.360 --> 1:33:13.479 the democracy. It interferes with people's voting choices, and in 1:33:13.560 --> 1:33:15.760 a case like that, it frightens voters from going to 1:33:15.880 --> 1:33:20.360 the polls and voting. So, you know, the voter is 1:33:20.439 --> 1:33:22.880 being targeted across the US. We saw it last year 1:33:22.880 --> 1:33:25.120 in twenty twenty four. We're seeing it again in this 1:33:25.320 --> 1:33:27.800 and this is a quieter election than last year. 1:33:27.720 --> 1:33:30.240 With the presidential election. So let's hope. 1:33:31.840 --> 1:33:35.200 The law enforce and agencies are responding appropriately and the 1:33:35.320 --> 1:33:38.040 voters are making smart choices when we're going to the polls. 1:33:38.320 --> 1:33:41.200 Domaholis our guest, and don let me ask you, as 1:33:41.280 --> 1:33:46.559 retired secret service how long does it take to come 1:33:46.600 --> 1:33:50.040 in sweep that and clear it with dogs and such? 1:33:50.120 --> 1:33:51.200 I assume as what they use. 1:33:52.479 --> 1:33:55.080 Yeah, it all depends on where the voting location is, 1:33:55.120 --> 1:33:57.479 if it's a small polling place or a big polling place. 1:33:58.200 --> 1:34:01.040 A lot of places they use school and they use 1:34:01.560 --> 1:34:04.479 you know, government buildings as polling places, which generally are 1:34:04.520 --> 1:34:06.200 on the smaller side. But you know, in a place 1:34:06.320 --> 1:34:09.439 like Newark, it potentially could be a larger building because 1:34:09.439 --> 1:34:11.839 of the size of the population. So it really depends 1:34:12.840 --> 1:34:15.320 on the size of the facility they're sweeping and how 1:34:15.400 --> 1:34:18.360 many you know, knine assets and search teams they. 1:34:18.439 --> 1:34:22.160 Use done to these uh you know in particular today 1:34:22.600 --> 1:34:24.600 these come in by telephone? 1:34:24.960 --> 1:34:27.200 Or do they come in by a text? Do they 1:34:27.240 --> 1:34:29.080 come in through social media? Hey? 1:34:29.200 --> 1:34:29.240 This? 1:34:30.400 --> 1:34:30.519 Uh? 1:34:30.720 --> 1:34:31.080 You know this? 1:34:31.520 --> 1:34:31.840 Certain? 1:34:31.920 --> 1:34:32.320 Do you know? 1:34:32.360 --> 1:34:34.679 How do you do you know the how they originate? 1:34:35.200 --> 1:34:36.280 I don't, Yeah, I don't. 1:34:39.240 --> 1:34:39.439 Yeah. 1:34:39.640 --> 1:34:41.320 In a case in New Jersey, I think I think 1:34:41.360 --> 1:34:44.280 they came in via old school phone call. Somebody called 1:34:44.280 --> 1:34:47.040 it a bomb threat and named the polling location, which 1:34:47.280 --> 1:34:49.840 hopefully will help them in tracking where the threat came from. 1:34:50.680 --> 1:34:54.960 But the bottom line is between the internet, cell phones, 1:34:55.800 --> 1:34:59.960 you know, there's multiple pathways to to issue a threat 1:35:00.600 --> 1:35:03.280 and it's a lot of work for the law enforcement 1:35:03.320 --> 1:35:05.439 agencies involved. And when these threats come in and try 1:35:05.439 --> 1:35:07.519 to try to track him down and then hopefully arrest 1:35:07.560 --> 1:35:08.480 who's responsible. 1:35:09.320 --> 1:35:11.600 And is it an immediate response on that don I 1:35:11.640 --> 1:35:13.280 would assume as soon as they get it, and they're 1:35:13.320 --> 1:35:16.280 just like, okay, clear the clear of the building. There's 1:35:16.360 --> 1:35:20.360 no you know, there's no yea, zero reason to wait 1:35:20.400 --> 1:35:21.240 around and see it. 1:35:21.320 --> 1:35:22.000 Okay, this is a. 1:35:22.040 --> 1:35:25.719 Credib Now, Now, when a bomb threat comes in they typically, 1:35:25.800 --> 1:35:27.840 you know, you want to treat every call as if 1:35:27.880 --> 1:35:30.920 it's real until you prove it's a hoax. So when 1:35:30.960 --> 1:35:34.280 these calls come in, the buildings are immediately evacuated. The 1:35:34.400 --> 1:35:37.719 laws and agencies arrive, they clear, they search the area, 1:35:37.800 --> 1:35:40.160 they clear, and once it's clear, they'll let people back 1:35:40.200 --> 1:35:43.080 into the building. These days, a lot of law enforcement 1:35:43.640 --> 1:35:47.479 agencies around the country, particularly in the bigger metropolitan cities, 1:35:47.520 --> 1:35:50.120 will tend to set up task forces around election day 1:35:50.600 --> 1:35:52.840 to monitor the polls, to monitor what's going on in 1:35:52.880 --> 1:35:55.080 the polls, and to be able to respond, as you know, 1:35:55.200 --> 1:35:58.000 as needed to the polling locations should an issue arise. 1:35:58.439 --> 1:36:01.680 So I would, I would Jersey is set especially in 1:36:01.680 --> 1:36:03.920 an area like Newark, is set up like that as well. 1:36:04.840 --> 1:36:08.040 Don you're uh, you know, you're retired senior Secret Service agent, 1:36:08.200 --> 1:36:14.000 so you know you've seen everything. Are bomb threats harder 1:36:14.120 --> 1:36:19.040 to track in today's world of technology versus when we're 1:36:19.080 --> 1:36:23.040 back when everyone used landlines and payphones or is it 1:36:23.240 --> 1:36:23.360 is it? 1:36:23.760 --> 1:36:26.519 Is it harder? Is it easier? What you know, is 1:36:26.600 --> 1:36:30.280 it completely changed the game with cell phones and uh, you. 1:36:30.280 --> 1:36:34.200 Know it's completely changed. Uh, you missed the days of 1:36:34.240 --> 1:36:37.720 the old rotary phone. It's completely changed the game with 1:36:37.920 --> 1:36:41.720 cell phones because you have that that mobility. Uh, that's 1:36:41.920 --> 1:36:44.800 that's present now with a cell phone call or even 1:36:44.840 --> 1:36:46.680 the Internet, and you us to have the issue of 1:36:46.720 --> 1:36:49.240 having to go through the Internet to find somebody. Whereas 1:36:49.280 --> 1:36:52.080 in the old days, is somebody called called from an 1:36:52.120 --> 1:36:55.519 old style rotary phone or even a push button phone, 1:36:55.800 --> 1:36:58.439 it was a direct line from that individual's home to 1:36:59.160 --> 1:37:02.160 whoever they were called. Now, because of the Internet, because 1:37:02.160 --> 1:37:05.240 a lot of calls are made digitally, we have these 1:37:05.360 --> 1:37:08.720 voice over Internet protocols where there's IP addresses involved, and 1:37:09.240 --> 1:37:12.080 you know, you can change your IP address or hydri 1:37:12.120 --> 1:37:13.160 IP address. 1:37:12.880 --> 1:37:13.519 With a VPN. 1:37:13.640 --> 1:37:16.160 So it makes it real challenging for law enforcement to 1:37:16.280 --> 1:37:19.400 backtrack in these cases. They're able to do it, and 1:37:19.760 --> 1:37:23.360 a lot of times the vendors, the phone companies are 1:37:23.439 --> 1:37:25.760 helpful in these situations, but it's still it's a lot 1:37:25.920 --> 1:37:28.280 more work and a lot harder than it probably was 1:37:28.360 --> 1:37:29.120 in the old days. 1:37:30.120 --> 1:37:32.719 All Right, with that, Don, we will let you go, buddy, 1:37:32.800 --> 1:37:35.200 thanks so much, thanks for having me. 1:37:35.280 --> 1:37:36.080 Guys appreciate it. 1:37:36.240 --> 1:37:36.439 Thank you. 1:37:36.560 --> 1:37:40.920 John Don Mulhullakey is a retired secret service working with 1:37:41.280 --> 1:37:45.720 ABC News and man, it just seems like, Jason, every 1:37:45.840 --> 1:37:47.000 year it gets worse and worse. 1:37:47.760 --> 1:37:50.240 Yeah, and just to think that it's not even a 1:37:50.280 --> 1:37:53.639 presidential year, and you know how much of this stuff happens, 1:37:54.439 --> 1:37:56.360 you know, in a presidential year or where it's going 1:37:56.439 --> 1:37:59.679 to keep happening because people see this like, oh yeah, 1:38:00.080 --> 1:38:03.800 and you know they're they're evil, dev evil people out. 1:38:03.720 --> 1:38:09.800 There, Jason.

We 1:38:20.760 --> 1:38:21.719 are not cat people. 1:38:22.920 --> 1:38:23.040 Uh. 1:38:24.080 --> 1:38:25.959 This this happened in New Hampshire. 1:38:27.720 --> 1:38:31.880 Ray Ray. The cat sounds like probably a cat that's. 1:38:31.800 --> 1:38:32.240 Like a dog. 1:38:33.439 --> 1:38:33.639 Uh. 1:38:35.520 --> 1:38:37.840 Well, you know, I don't know where you get Ray Ray. 1:38:38.520 --> 1:38:40.000 I don't know. I don't I don't mind a cat 1:38:40.080 --> 1:38:42.519 that's like a dog, by the way, but anyway, go ahead. 1:38:42.840 --> 1:38:46.160 You're not a cat guy, No, I'm I got no 1:38:46.240 --> 1:38:48.240 problem with cats. I'm allergic to them, but I don't 1:38:49.240 --> 1:38:52.400 But anyways, Ray Ray. So they were going from a 1:38:52.479 --> 1:38:57.439 little town in Pennsylvania to Keen, New Hampshire. They're at 1:38:57.439 --> 1:39:02.360 the beginning of October. The cat, a little Ray Ray, 1:39:02.600 --> 1:39:06.920 apparently didn't want to be left behind. So, after driving 1:39:06.960 --> 1:39:12.000 about one hundred miles, Tony DiNardo, ray Ray's owner stopped 1:39:12.040 --> 1:39:15.559 the van for a bathroom break and discovered ray Ray, 1:39:15.680 --> 1:39:19.160 the eight year old cat, clinging to the car's roof. 1:39:20.360 --> 1:39:23.519 Oh no, I had a feeling you were going to 1:39:23.600 --> 1:39:26.960 have a Christmas fake care. What was the summer vas right? 1:39:27.120 --> 1:39:27.360 That was? 1:39:27.520 --> 1:39:30.719 Yeah, that was Christmas vacation with whatever they had Clara 1:39:30.840 --> 1:39:34.920 whatever her name was, the dog dogs attached. 1:39:34.560 --> 1:39:37.799 To the bumper. Yeah, I thought you were adding that direction, 1:39:38.120 --> 1:39:42.280 he said. They left for a trip clinging to the roof. 1:39:42.840 --> 1:39:46.960 Said the mom, Margaret, how did the cat stay up there? 1:39:48.760 --> 1:39:53.080 And he seemed completely unfazed. The family believed that ray 1:39:53.200 --> 1:39:57.280 Ray lodged himself between the luggage you know they you know, 1:39:57.520 --> 1:40:02.280 just like the family vacation. Yeah, they had the luggage 1:40:02.439 --> 1:40:05.400 rack on the top there, so apparently old ray Ray 1:40:05.600 --> 1:40:09.840 got himself lodged in there under the suitcases and put 1:40:09.880 --> 1:40:12.400 his claws into one of the straps or something. It 1:40:12.560 --> 1:40:19.040 just went for a ride, and uh he so they 1:40:19.080 --> 1:40:21.720 stopped at a pet store, got him, got him a 1:40:21.720 --> 1:40:27.439 little food, got him a leash. So, uh, I guess 1:40:28.320 --> 1:40:30.120 one of the reasons they were going to this little 1:40:30.160 --> 1:40:33.240 town in New Hampshire. Was that they have a marathon 1:40:34.080 --> 1:40:38.240 that this guy Tony was running in. So he carried 1:40:39.560 --> 1:40:44.880 I guess they were, Yeah, he was in. It was 1:40:44.960 --> 1:40:48.720 in this blah blah blah. He uh, I guess his 1:40:48.840 --> 1:40:51.080 wife met him along the way and he carried the 1:40:51.160 --> 1:40:52.519 cat across the finish line. 1:40:53.200 --> 1:40:53.920 Oh so. 1:40:56.760 --> 1:40:59.479 Ray Ray seemed to be very happy and now she 1:40:59.600 --> 1:41:02.600 plans to write a children's book about her pet's adventures. 1:41:03.840 --> 1:41:06.479 So it's a happy ending there for Ray Ray and 1:41:06.920 --> 1:41:09.960 the family because it could. 1:41:09.800 --> 1:41:14.920 Have gone really, really bad. Well see, y Ray could 1:41:14.920 --> 1:41:17.360 have been like a bug on a windshield for someone, 1:41:17.479 --> 1:41:20.559 and well that had been bad for the other guy too. 1:41:21.600 --> 1:41:25.200 Can you imagine you're driving down the interstate, you know, 1:41:25.400 --> 1:41:27.560 you're going seventy seventy five miles an hour. Of a 1:41:27.600 --> 1:41:31.360 sudden a cat in your windie, you know, like a 1:41:31.479 --> 1:41:35.080 bug on your windshield, except as a you know, fifteen 1:41:35.120 --> 1:41:35.959 pound cat. 1:41:36.680 --> 1:41:38.800 That's gonna do a little damage to your windshield too. 1:41:39.640 --> 1:41:42.479 Thank thank, thank goodness, Ray Ray safe and had a 1:41:42.560 --> 1:41:46.560 fun trip. And I'm sure they had to spend a 1:41:46.600 --> 1:41:49.400 little extra money there on the cat carrier, and. 1:41:50.000 --> 1:41:51.840 Well I'm sure they had to take that car through 1:41:51.880 --> 1:41:53.880 a car wash up top of you know what I'm saying. 1:41:54.120 --> 1:41:57.280 Oh yeah, and their ugge had to have a little 1:41:57.439 --> 1:42:02.000 cat excrement attached to it in some way. 1:42:02.040 --> 1:42:04.080 She might have been coming out of both ends for Ray. 1:42:04.200 --> 1:42:08.120 Ray, as scared as he was, I could just see 1:42:08.200 --> 1:42:13.960 that cat go and tell the under holding on for 1:42:14.080 --> 1:42:17.559 his dear little cat life. Uh with that, let's get 1:42:17.600 --> 1:42:20.840 on out of here. But before we do, let's check 1:42:21.240 --> 1:42:22.040 traffic and weather. 1:42:22.280 --> 1:42:23.600 What is going on?
