WEBVTT - Eddie & Rocky -- 10/8/25 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:01.720 Little bit. Let's go. 0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:05.560 Yeah, we uh, we have a couple of guests. I 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:07.880 got us a guy from Green Bay tomorrow. And see 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:08.880 how frightened they. 0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:11.879 Are up there. Oh, there's there's they're up scared. We 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:14.800 got the beat reporter scared of that slow footed four 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:15.520 year old man. 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:22.720 I saw him scramble. And you're right, But Jason, let's 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:25.840 talk about the matters at hand. And we're all hearing, 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:30.600 we're all confused about what's going on in Gaza, Israel, 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:34.760 that whole thing right there. What in the world is 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:40.560 going on? And is two years after the after the 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:47.080 two years that awful attack. But Trump's saying any day now, 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.000 any day now, after promising it would be taken care 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:53.040 of almost immediately, and of course it hasn't gone on 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:57.600 a week now, right, But but now Trump is saying, 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:02.840 we're really close. Well let's I'm wondering how close we are. 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:06.039 So let's talk to an expert in the matters in 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:09.679 this matter. He is from Tarleton State University. He is 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:15.720 doctor Bocabala from the Legal Studies of Philosophy Department, Government 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.360 department down there as well. And doctor Kabala, welcome to 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:20.000 the program. 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:22.640 Hey, thank you so much for having me on. 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:23.800 I really appreciate it. 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:24.520 Great to be here. 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.720 So what are we looking at here? Obviously it's confusing 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.800 to all of us in this part of the world. 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.320 How is it really close? In your opinion? 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.080 You know, and I think you're right to sound a 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:42.319 note of skepticism. You've got some of that actors here 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:47.440 before who obviously have a record of committing horrific acts. 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:51.520 Hamas back no doubt by Iran. But I will say 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.559 to me the fact that it's Donald Trump and Steve 0:01:55.600 --> 0:02:01.760 Wiitcuff is involved, very unconventionalotiating style. He's been willing to 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.880 talk to the Israeli government in a very direct way. 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:10.960 You've got the UN Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez involved, You've 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.120 got the moderate Islamic state of Cutter facilitating some of 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:18.560 the conversations, getting the teams that Trump President Trump assembles. 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.280 I'm gonna stay cautiously optimistic here, maybe for a few 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:22.840 more days. 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.680 Doctor Kual. I just find the whole thing fascinating, even 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:30.240 from the sense of being in a room negotiating, their 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.720 negotiating at a resort in Egypt, and just the fact 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:39.400 that there's the representatives from Israel are in a room 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:44.040 with a militant group, a terrorist organization like that alone 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.480 just kind of blows my mind in a sense that like, like, 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:51.480 how are they even guarantees that, like things don't get 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.960 violent even in that Yeah. 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.760 No, it's it's really mind boggling. And it's not your 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.239 typical negotiation scenario, I will say, And I go back 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:06.160 to this uncanny ability that President Trump seems to have 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.640 to attract people into a conversation, at least who you 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:13.640 might think have diametrically upposite views. So I'm thinking about 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:18.680 how strong he's been for Israel, moving the capital in 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.800 line with you know, to Jerusalem, just being as strong 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:24.320 as he has, and then at the same time, just 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.880 in the US domestically, he's able to attract the support 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:33.400 of the first Muslim mayor of a town in Michigan. 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:38.119 So there's something about the way he speaks to different parties. 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:42.600 He carried on diplomacy with North Korea. I mean, I'm 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:47.400 originally from Eastern Europe, and so when Ronald Reagan talked 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.920 to you know, Gorbachev, many people were skeptical about that. 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.120 I think this is even harder because, as you're saying, 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:58.000 you've got a fanatical group, you know, Hamas going back 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.600 to nineteen eighty seven, all kinds of links to the 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.600 Islamic Brotherhood and they're a fanatical group. 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:05.800 Rational choice does not apply. 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.240 And yet if anybody can do it, I think maybe 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.960 President Trump, Steve Witkoff and Prime Minister net Yahoo can 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:14.960 can get us to some kind of lasting piece. 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:20.560 We're talking to doctor Bocabala and Doc where where do 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.159 you think the sticking point is right now? And they 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.600 hasn't Hamas agreed to release the hostages. And I think 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.839 that's been a big sticking point all along. I don't 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.000 know the last on that, so. 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.600 There's been that sticking point. I think, maybe even more 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.080 acute at this point, the insistence, and I think the 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:43.919 correct insistence on the American Israeli side, that Hamas have 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:48.520 no part in any future governance in Gaza. You know, 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.080 I think that's a sticking point right now. I think 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:55.320 it's an interesting negotiating strategy to come to an agreement 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:58.919 on general principles which appears to have taken place, and 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:03.400 the hostages will be released tragically. It appears that there's 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:09.440 twenty remaining live hostages, so gosh, yeah, we have to 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.240 work out the details and there's all the reason in 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.560 the world, all the historical reasons to suppose that might 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:19.320 be the hardest lift. But in terms of the broad agreement, 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:24.159 hostages are released, conflict comes to an end. At least 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.080 that general framework is in place. 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:34.520 Are any of the remaining twenty hostages living Americans? You know, 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.159 I can't speak to that at the moment. 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.800 I think it's forty five forty six total that COMOS 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:45.039 is still holding in twenty or are lives out of 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.640 the original two hundred and fifty? You know, I just 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:51.640 can't imagine the terror that you know that days years ago. 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.520 So but let me check on that and I'll get back. 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:59.320 To you, a doctor in your in your opinion, eyeball 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.800 on this from you know, obviously we're a long way away. 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.360 But uh, do you see this thing getting settled any time? 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.839 I mean, I don't know ask you to put a 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.480 time frame on it, but in the next week, two weeks, month. 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.480 Or so, you know. Uh. 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:19.000 And not to keep pivoting back to the fact that 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:23.679 it's President Trump, but you know, I forget which political 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.560 philosopher says, and there's probably a few in the in 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.040 the cannon, so to speak, who say you know, if 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.640 you're threatening overwhelming force, be ready to use it. And 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:38.640 so I think net Yahoo has applied that in Gaza. 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:42.919 President Trump, I don't think there's any question that you know, 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.720 he's he's not just willing to speak very directly, He's 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:50.160 he's willing to back up what he says with direct actions. 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:54.800 So my guess is, you know, there's been questions about 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:58.839 the timetable of you know, Russia, Ukraine, and and he 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.840 seems to have sort of distanced himself a little bit 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.440 from what's going on in Eastern Europe. My sense here 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.880 is two weeks, three weeks. He's pushing as hard as possible. 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.640 Steve Wickcuff is pushing as as. 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:12.400 Hard as possible. 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:17.240 So I'm hearing two three weeks would would be a 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:18.400 realistic time frame. 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.560 All right, with that, doctor Kabbala, we will let you go. 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.960 Thanks so much, Thank you. 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:24.960 So much, Thank you for having me. 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:30.760 Really appreciate it, Doctor Bocabala, Tarlton State University, And dude, 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:34.000 I you know all that international politics and stuff that 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:38.840 has been going on from some of these groups for 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:44.000 literally thousands of years, you know, the Palestinian, Israeli, all 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.200 of that Middle East stuff that boggles my mind. I 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.640 have no comprehension how it all goes. I'm sorry to 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.360 be ignorant on it, but it's never affected my life. 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.880 I mean, I know, I'm not Jewish or any you know, 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.880 I had no connection to either one of those cultures, 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.040 so I haven't really paid a lot of attention. It's 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.440 obviously awful. You don't want to see these people, you know, 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:11.240 these ancient enemies going on it forever. But it's been 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.080 going on forever, you know. 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.320 And then you know you and you read about that 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:21.120 Hamas wants a lasting ceasefire and for Israel to withdraw 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:25.360 completely from Gaza, and it's like that. But then on 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:30.120 the flipside, what did what did Hamas do two years ago? 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:35.800 Like it is incredibly complex, sad deep deep, deep deep, 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:38.959 you know deep hatred. Really, I mean. 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.840 Your major bid honestly, With that, we check in with 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:43.680 traffic and weather. 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:48.000 What is going on from the UC Health Traffic Center, 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.400 Mamma Graham, save what I was called?

Yeah, because 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.360 it made a hell of a lot of sense, to 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:08.079 be honest, with you. 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.240 I mean, that is a cool spot in the way 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.800 that you can just sort of sits just slightly over 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.079 the river bank, and you know, you can see that 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.440 all of downtown Cincinnati now. 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:26.760 In your mind, because I was reading about it today 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.319 that I never thought this would happen up in Cleveland, 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:35.280 but there it looks like that Brown Stadium is going 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.679 to be moved north of town. Yes, they got there 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.240 clear and they're clearing the deck on that Haslam's got 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:41.040 way too much money. 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.720 Yeah, there was a snag where like the building was 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.280 going to be too high for the airport. That's been 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:51.959 cleared immediately. Yeah. Yeah, Like I know some people were like, yeah, 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:56.240 that may see, and that's the government's going to make 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.160 a tweak for that, and and they did. 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.880 That's the reason I think that the next football stadium 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:06.360 should be built either. I'm going to go north of 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.240 town simply because it can become more accessible to the 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.679 folks from Dayton. I mean, being a Dayton guy growing 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:19.439 up there, I know a ton of Bengals fans from Dayton. Absolutely, 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.520 obviously there are a lot of Bengals fans in Kentucky. 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.800 But you know where you're going to put it because 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.240 there's kind of a no man's land once you get 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:34.080 past Forest Florence Mall and so, but between here and Dayton, 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.520 obviously that's just become a corridor. 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.760 Yeah. I've given us a lot of thought, and I've 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.360 written about it and other places that I visited. And 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:48.240 the NFL really is suited for a suburban, big old greenfield, 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.920 big slab of conker flat concrete out in the suburbs 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.200 where you can just have all of your tailgating right there. 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.000 It's not crunched, it's easy in and out. You look 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.200 at you know, look at Buffalo, look at Kansas City. 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.360 Kansas City is a great model. And that place has 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:04.680 been around since the seventies. 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.600 See, let me ask you about that, because I've always 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.400 heard that what exactly is the lake it is it's 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.840 just part flat out parking for a mileor two, all right, 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.240 It's just this stadium and this mat surrounded by this 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:22.000 just incredibly massive parking lot. And then I don't know 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:26.480 fifty yards away is the Royal Stadium, and then another 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.760 right beyond the Royal Stadium is I seventy. And that 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.160 you're in and out, and you know there's some city 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.920 streets kind of on the backsides of the of the 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:39.480 of the of the big massive parking lot. But it's 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.680 really it's easy access right off and on of I seventy. 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:46.280 It's a big old flat, just slab of concrete and 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:51.320 and look bait, you know it's Baseball was really good 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.760 for downtown because you know, there's not the tailgating and 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.920 it's the history or the history piece of it. But 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:00.680 football is made for you gotta have space for tailgating, 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.720 and you gotta have easy in and out because of 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:06.080 the size of the crowds, and it's best suited to 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.760 be in the suburbs in my opinion, I agree with that. 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:15.720 Well, coming up next, speaking of messes, the airline industry 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:19.120 right now is all kinds of wacka do with the 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:23.480 government shutdown going on. If you're flying here in the 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:24.960 next day or two, good luck. 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.640 To Yeah, thank goodness, we got. I got.

Rocks and Night here today he's 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.080 got a football game to I don't know if it's 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:39.080 the night or tomorrow. 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:40.200 Night in. 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.560 Georgia Southern which I suppose to we didn't talk about, 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.760 but I assume he flew into Atlanta, so I'll be 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.800 real curious to see about his tales getting back here. 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.960 But we're going to talk to our good friend Jay Ratliffe. 0:15:54.280 --> 0:16:01.360 That's after the news right now, News Radio seven hundred WLWSE. 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:06.560 Traffic and Weather News Radio seven hundred wl Cincinnati. 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.280 Ohio's governor with an announcement regarding certain hemp products with 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.560 the three point thirty report. I'm Sean Gallagher breaking now. 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.280 Governor Mike Dwine signing an executive order today which addresses 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.360 intoxicating hemp products. One part of that order defines the 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.760 difference between intoxicating hemp from legalized hemp and the state 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:33.080 Administrative Code, while another part declares an adulterated consumer emergency 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:37.040 which bans intoxicating hemp products for ninety days. Retailers who 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.760 sell those products must see sales by this upcoming Tuesday 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.760 and have them off the shelves. The order also gives 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.680 the Ohio Department of Agriculture the ability to seize products 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:47.480 and find those up to five hundred dollars a day 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.080 who violate the order and continue to sell those products 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:54.840 during the temporary ban. Dwine has targeted those intempts intoxicating 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:56.600 hemp products due to the rise in the number of 0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:00.600 children being exposed to them. He says those products intentionally 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:04.720 mimic popular candy that makes them enticing to minors. The 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:08.359 products in question have synthesize hemp that contain Delta eight 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.200 and they can be bought at gas stations and convenience stores. 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.720 One is of the popular Nerd gummy cluster candy and 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:19.240 the other is a Delta eight product called Medicated Nerdy Bears. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.440 So you can see the Delta eight product users packaging 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:27.720 with identical design elements to the actual Nerds candy down 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:31.679 to using the registered trademark cartoon Nerd character images. 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:35.520 This order does not apply to non intoxicating hemp products 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:41.200 or legal marijuana that is sold in licensed dispensaries.

Staffing levels among air traffic controllers being impacted. 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.719 It's not just the towers at the individual airports. It's 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:27.960 also the air traffic control centers that are in office buildings, 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:31.320 where there are dozens, sometimes hundreds of controllers who work 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.520 the skies from one facility but control planes over several 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:35.320 different states. 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.160 ABC News is Sam Sweeney. 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:40.280 While many federal workers go without paychecks, members of Congress 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:41.920 are still getting paid during the shutdown. 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:46.240 I suspended my pay immediately. Yeah, I think lawmakers should 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:49.640 suspend their pay. It's just so everyone knows it is 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:55.280 absurd that lawmakers are carved out.

Why should I get paid? 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.479 But there are some like Ohio Congressman Greg Landsman, who 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:06.040 are refusing pay until the government reopens. 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:09.800 Seven one hundred WLW Sports. 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:11.760 Here's a Bengals update brought to you by Good Spirits 0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:15.040 at Party Town with thirteen locations in northern Kentucky.

So, Jace, we've been hearing all this. You 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:33.560 were just flying and you just got none just in time. 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:35.000 None of this got you, eh No. 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:37.880 I got back last Thursday from LA when the Reds 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:40.919 were playing out there and mostly pretty smooth. 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:44.280 Well, let's talk to kind of break it down for 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:47.560 us in case people haven't heard. The air traffic control 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:53.199 situation right now, is I, shall we say, discombobulated to 0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:56.080 discuss as our good friend Jay rat left, our aviation 0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:59.560 expert here at the radio station. And Jay, is there 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:01.600 any hope to pull all this together? Is it just 0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:05.320 a matter of this of the whole shutdown thing going away? 0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:10.439 Well, Eddiot, it's not really the shutdown that's doing. It's contributing. 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:14.000 Oh yeah, because and here's why I say that. First 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:17.640 of all, yes, the Burbank Airport didn't have the staffing 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:19.920 levels that needed, so they had to shut it down 0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:23.679 and a nearby air traffic control center took over, so 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:27.440 it's handling the arrivals, departures, et cetera. That's how it's 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:30.240 supposed to happen if you have an issue of staffing 0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:33.560 or if there's a technical issue. The other situation we 0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:35.600 had was in the Nashville where there were delays of 0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:39.119 a couple of hours due to staffing. And of course 0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:43.560 the headlines are screaming it's the shutdown, it's President Trump, 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:45.960 blah blah blah blah blah, all the other stuff. But 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:50.120 what you need to understand, and most people wouldn't because 0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:53.159 you don't follow it, is that in the last nine months, 0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:58.160 we've had one thousand occasions where air traffic control centers 0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:02.320 have been shut down. Oh so this is something that's ongoing, 0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:06.480 and it's pretty much being driven by the shortage of 0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:10.359 air traffic controllers that we have. So it's happened frequently, 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:14.200 and I can say a lot more in number than 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:17.040 what we've had here just up late. But it's being 0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:20.720 created now in more in the spotlight because you have 0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:23.440 these men and women that are the air traffic controllers 0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:25.399 that on Tuesday of next week they're going to get 0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:28.360 a partial paycheck. Then two weeks later on the twenty eighth, 0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:31.159 they're not gonna get any paycheck. As this continues, and 0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:34.360 many of them have secondary jobs. So if you've got 0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:37.119 a job of whatever it happens to be, that you 0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:40.760 can go to work and get paid, or show up 0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:42.639 somewhere where you can work and work and work and 0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:46.200 get paid at a later date, or take sick time 0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:48.720 where you know you might get paid later and work 0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:50.920 the other job. You've got to have money coming in. 0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:54.080 So a lot of these men and women are saying, look, 0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:56.040 I don't want to do it, but I'm gonna call 0:23:56.040 --> 0:23:58.399 in sick so I can go work another job that 0:23:58.480 --> 0:24:00.280 I can get the money to pay the rent, the 0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:05.000 groceries and those kinds of things. Guys, I can't say 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:08.600 that I necessarily would blame them given the situation that 0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:10.800 so many people are in where you know how many 0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:13.000 people can go for two, three, four, five, six weeks 0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:16.520 without a paycheck. That causes a lot of problems. So 0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:20.560 we've seen this happen before, and the problem is, of course, 0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:24.160 with this being so short with regards to the air 0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:28.600 traffic controllers, who are worse still thousands of the positions 0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.400 behind as far as getting caught back up, and that's 0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:34.639 going to take a number of years. This situation just 0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:38.480 becomes a lot more critical right now because we have 0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:41.919 such a thin bench to pull from, and I tell you, 0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:45.399 we're six weeks away from the busiest travel week of 0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:48.560 the year. So yeah, we got to get this fixed 0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:51.399 and get it fixed soon. But again, when you're seeing 0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:55.840 these airport FAA shutdowns, it bothers me when I hear 0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:58.640 some of the media or the headline screaming as though 0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:02.480 this has never happened before and it's indicative of a 0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:07.160 catastrophe waiting to happen. No, we've had it happen, as 0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:10.080 I've indicated nearly a thousand times in just the last 0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:10.840 nine months. 0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:13.919 So, Jay, with the federal government, and maybe this is 0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:16.639 too simplistic of a question, but you're the expert on this. 0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:20.720 The federal government is shut down, So then why is 0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:24.320 anyone even why wouldn't just all airports be shut down 0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:26.720 right now? Like, is there a special carve out for 0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:29.200 a certain amount of air traffic? 0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:33.879 FAA employees are yeah, you've got about let's use round numbers, Jason, 0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:37.120 fifty thousand people that work for the FAA, and about 0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:40.800 eleven thousand of them would be considered non essential, although 0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:44.399 I would prefer to classify him as less essential, not 0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:48.200 non essential, but less essential. So those people have been furloughed. 0:25:48.359 --> 0:25:51.800 Everybody else is working as you would normally work. Because 0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:55.200 when you look at the aviation industry, it represents about 0:25:55.240 --> 0:25:58.640 five percent of the GDP of our country, so it's 0:25:58.640 --> 0:25:59.960 a huge economic engine. 0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:01.919 You want to keep going because you've. 0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:05.439 Got the movement of passengers, cargo, freight, mail, all that 0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:08.400 stuff that has to take place, and we really want 0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:11.439 to make sure that it doesn't shut down for any reason. 0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:13.960 So that's one of the reasons it's looked at as 0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:17.640 a necessary service because of the fact that you have it. Now, 0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:21.560 there's something called the Essential Air Service the EAES, where 0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:23.920 there's a number of airports around the country that are 0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:28.840 considered underutilized. They don't have an adequate number of commercial service, 0:26:29.240 --> 0:26:34.000 So the government actually subsidizes airlines to fly into these 0:26:34.000 --> 0:26:38.159 smaller areas, these airports around the country where they're just 0:26:38.200 --> 0:26:40.640 not served, and they wouldn't be served because airlines can't 0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:42.560 go in there and make any money. So what they 0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:44.760 do is they can receive a subsidy from the government 0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:47.879 to go in so that there's air service in and 0:26:47.880 --> 0:26:49.520 out of a lot of these airports. We see a 0:26:49.520 --> 0:26:52.560 lot of it in Alaska and other states across the country. 0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:54.960 But the problem is they're going to run out of 0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:57.720 money for that, I think on Sunday. So I'll be 0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:01.320 interested to see if all of those airports are then 0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:04.840 ceased as far as any air service, or if they'll 0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:07.959 find a way to keep that going, because yeah, as 0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:10.000 I understand, it's the funding on that would run out 0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:10.520 on Sunday. 0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:13.560 So Jay, we're talking to Jay Ratlifan. Jay, what kind 0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:16.119 of markets are we talking there? Are you talking your 0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:21.560 I don't know, Missoula, Montana's your Fargos, that type of thing. 0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:25.840 Yeah, they're very small airports that are remotely located and 0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:27.960 eddy the way they've done it, and it's been it's 0:27:27.960 --> 0:27:30.960 been a number of years since I've been where I 0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:34.320 could quote chapter and verse on the Essential Air Service Program. 0:27:34.640 --> 0:27:37.760 But if it's not within a specific set of miles 0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:41.760 from another airport a larger city, but some other secondary 0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:45.159 site that could be pulled upon in the event of 0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:48.600 an emergency or something, then that's pretty much why it 0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:51.280 would be be covered under the subsidy. We used to 0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:52.960 have a lot of these sub steas in the eighties 0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:55.480 and they went away over the course of time, but 0:27:55.520 --> 0:27:58.480 we've got a number that are still there and they're 0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:00.960 needed because, look, airlines are not gonna fly in and 0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:03.840 out of these somebody smaller remote areas unless. 0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:04.280 They can make money. 0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:07.120 That makes perfect sense. So if the government can say, look, 0:28:07.160 --> 0:28:09.840 we will pay you, you know, not to get rich, 0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:11.840 but we will pay it to make it worth your 0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:14.480 while to operate commercial air service in and out of 0:28:14.480 --> 0:28:17.200 these remote areas. We need to do so because we're 0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:21.280 trying to accommodate the you know, the people that are 0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:24.479 in that part of the of the country, and it's 0:28:24.520 --> 0:28:26.680 a needed program. I'm not big on subsidies at all, 0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:29.080 but in a situation like this, where I know airlines 0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:31.800 would not be there without it, it's good to see 0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:34.680 because we've seen it happen before, where when the subsidies 0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:36.560 run out, the airlines say I'm sorry, but we can't 0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:38.880 stick around, and out they go, and you're left with 0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:42.200 an airport that is either no air service or maybe 0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:45.120 just one, and the fares are so high it makes 0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:47.360 it almost impossible for the average person to fly. 0:28:48.440 --> 0:28:51.760 Right here, right here at Home Jay, at CBG, the 0:28:51.840 --> 0:28:54.760 Dayton Airport, even you know some of the other airports 0:28:54.840 --> 0:28:58.680 around that, you know, Greater Cincinnati Dayton folks fly out 0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:04.800 of any concern about disaffecting flights in and out of 0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:07.040 those airports. At this point in. 0:29:07.000 --> 0:29:10.520 Time, though, from everything that I'm seeing, in fact, I 0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:13.400 think we're pretty pretty set here in the state of Ohio, 0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:17.000 and if I include Cincinnati and on that as far 0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:20.640 as in Kentucky, I think we're in good, good hands. 0:29:20.840 --> 0:29:21.040 Now. 0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:23.800 That doesn't mean it can't change. That doesn't mean that 0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:27.320 on a given day there might be a shortage that 0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:30.520 would cause for some sort of a situation to occur 0:29:30.680 --> 0:29:34.560 to change where we might see flight activity impacted. We 0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:38.040 just don't know. But you know, the problem is, if 0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:40.080 all of this is in fact being generated by a 0:29:40.160 --> 0:29:43.680 lack of an inadequate number of air traffic controllers, it's 0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:45.240 going to take us a number of years to get 0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:48.200 everything back where it should be. In fact, the President 0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:51.040 Trump's made it one of his priorities to increase the 0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:53.720 number of people going through the program. That's good to see, 0:29:54.160 --> 0:29:57.000 but the problem is that we're running out of instructors. 0:29:57.240 --> 0:30:00.320 They can train these men and women, and from the 0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:03.080 time somebody steps in the door to become air traffic 0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:05.160 controller day one, it could be four to five years 0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:08.640 before they're in their post, working by themselves and ready 0:30:08.680 --> 0:30:12.320 to assume the full responsibilities of their position. So it's 0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:14.920 nothing you can speed up. There's no way to collapse 0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:17.760 those time frames to any significance where we're going to 0:30:17.800 --> 0:30:20.920 be able to see some immediate relief. Now, the President 0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:24.120 did talk about bringing in some air traffic controllers from 0:30:24.840 --> 0:30:28.480 other countries to help the trick, to try to build 0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:30.560 up the numbers. That would be good. I know in 0:30:30.680 --> 0:30:35.320 previous shutdowns we have gone towards military air traffic controllers 0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:38.360 that have come in at certain airports and assisted during 0:30:38.360 --> 0:30:41.120 the time to try to help keep things rolling. So 0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:44.160 there are some options, there are not many, and they're 0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:46.920 not anything really to get excited about, because you know, 0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:49.720 you're just patching things up and it's not like you 0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:52.000 can pull air traffic controllers from Dallas to put them 0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:54.400 in Burbank, or bring people out of Memphis and put 0:30:54.440 --> 0:30:58.800 them over in Nashville, because all you're doing is reducing 0:30:58.800 --> 0:31:02.400 the head count these airports, and you know, We had 0:31:02.440 --> 0:31:05.920 one airport in Europe that had one air traffic controller. 0:31:06.240 --> 0:31:09.080 Planes are coming into land and they can't because the 0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:11.800 air traffic controller fell asleep. He was asleep for thirty minutes. 0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:16.280 Yeah, so Jay to switch gears here just for a second. 0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:18.280 You send me a text right before we went on 0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:19.600 the air a little while ago. 0:31:20.560 --> 0:31:22.440 And you and I am what pressured medicine time? 0:31:22.640 --> 0:31:26.120 Right, you and I have talked about you had made 0:31:26.160 --> 0:31:28.160 You made the comment and the text actually that you 0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:30.920 and I had joked about it before. And it's true. 0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:33.600 If the airlines then they can figure out a way 0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:36.320 to charge them for something. They're going to now this 0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:40.280 latest one, do tell what's going to happen next. 0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:44.600 West Jet that's the low cost carrier in Canada, kind 0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:48.080 of their version of Southwest, but to a much smaller scale. Uh. 0:31:48.240 --> 0:31:52.120 They have found a way to charge customers more, and 0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:56.920 it's with reclining seats. You want a reclining seat, you 0:31:57.000 --> 0:32:00.280 can have one at an additional costs. Now here's the 0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:02.800 way the airlines are going to sell this. You know, 0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:04.760 you have all this battles of people putting their seat 0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:08.360 back and people getting arguments and all this customer service issues. 0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:10.920 So what airlines are doing. Many of them are saying, look, 0:32:10.920 --> 0:32:13.600 we're getting airplanes delivered from Boeing and Airbus that you 0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:15.880 can't reclimb. The seats are going to be reclined just slightly, 0:32:16.560 --> 0:32:19.600 and everybody's gonna have adequate room. We're no longer going 0:32:19.680 --> 0:32:21.440 to have this customer service issue. 0:32:21.760 --> 0:32:22.040 Now. 0:32:22.160 --> 0:32:24.880 The kicker is that's how they sell it. But what 0:32:24.880 --> 0:32:27.640 they're doing is that also gives them additional room in 0:32:27.680 --> 0:32:29.320 the back to put like an extra row or two in. 0:32:30.880 --> 0:32:33.720 That's more revenue. Now they can come along and say, 0:32:33.960 --> 0:32:38.600 we've got twelve premium seats on this plane that actually recline, 0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:41.520 and they can be yours for an additional cost. So 0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:43.400 you see how all of this stuff is kind of 0:32:43.400 --> 0:32:45.840 coming around. And yes, you and I joke for ever 0:32:46.160 --> 0:32:49.440 Eddie about you know, we can charge for oxygen and 0:32:49.480 --> 0:32:53.400 all these other kinds of things, but reclining seats is 0:32:53.520 --> 0:32:58.680 now considered a premium product on commercial aviation. That's why, guys, 0:32:58.720 --> 0:33:02.280 you will never hear me the asinine words of I've 0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:05.440 seen it all or I've heard it all, because that's 0:33:05.480 --> 0:33:08.240 not the case. In fact, you can you can google 0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:12.680 this story. An airport in Lithuania was. I think thirty 0:33:12.680 --> 0:33:17.320 flights were impacted because smuggler balloons were in the air 0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:20.640 smuggling cigarettes, and it shut down a bunch and shut 0:33:20.720 --> 0:33:22.960 down the airport. Uh so, yeah, we had a delay 0:33:23.000 --> 0:33:26.200 due to cigarettes and Lithuania. So that's why I never 0:33:26.240 --> 0:33:28.160 run out of saying I've done this for thirty three years. 0:33:28.320 --> 0:33:30.000 You never run out of things to talk about. 0:33:30.680 --> 0:33:33.440 Uh no, you don't all right with that? 0:33:33.600 --> 0:33:38.200 Jay again, like you just said, every time I want 0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:44.120 to say, I think I've heard it all. Next next week. Yeah, 0:33:44.120 --> 0:33:47.280 hey buddy, it's always a pleasure of things anytime. Guys, 0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:50.800 thanks our good friend Jay radof our aviation guy here 0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:54.000 at the Big One. But yeah, I'll pay extra to 0:33:54.040 --> 0:33:56.120 have somebody not lean their seat. 0:33:55.920 --> 0:33:58.880 Back in my face. What's what in saying that? I 0:33:58.960 --> 0:34:00.800 was shocked? And I don't lie very much.

He needs needs some school. 0:46:19.160 --> 0:46:21.399 Well, Jather and his vice president of media for game 0:46:21.480 --> 0:46:25.400 day communications, they're handling all this, you know, So Catherine, 0:46:25.440 --> 0:46:28.600 let's talk about what exactly is going on. It's kicked off. 0:46:29.120 --> 0:46:32.400 Today's the official or tomorrow actually tomorrow morning is the 0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:33.280 official kickoff? 0:46:33.360 --> 0:46:38.239 Right, Well, today the cruise is kicked off, so there's 0:46:38.239 --> 0:46:40.839 more than one hundred and sixty cruises over the next 0:46:40.880 --> 0:46:43.160 five days. The first one, I bet the one you 0:46:43.200 --> 0:46:45.680 saw that went off with the Tenian cruise on the Natchez. 0:46:45.719 --> 0:46:48.000 I spent all morning on the matches from like five 0:46:48.040 --> 0:46:51.439 o'clock on. Those guys are amazing. They're from the from 0:46:51.480 --> 0:46:53.799 New Orleans. I gave us ben Yet's. They have all 0:46:53.880 --> 0:46:57.440 this amazing like Dixie Land band playing, And that's kind 0:46:57.440 --> 0:46:59.759 of what the cool part about America's river roots. 0:46:59.760 --> 0:47:00.480 Did boats. 0:47:00.480 --> 0:47:02.400 For sure, There's lots of other stuff going on, and 0:47:02.440 --> 0:47:04.520 we'll get to that, I'm sure, but the boats are 0:47:04.520 --> 0:47:08.279 really cool because they bring their culture from whatever city 0:47:08.320 --> 0:47:12.280 there were. For example, the Belle of Memphis is here, guys. 0:47:12.280 --> 0:47:14.600 And if you're wondering, Catherine, did you go take your 0:47:14.600 --> 0:47:16.200 picture in front of the bell of Memphis? Yes, the 0:47:16.200 --> 0:47:18.200 Belle of Memphis. In front of the Belle of Memphis. 0:47:18.239 --> 0:47:18.960 Of course I did. 0:47:19.680 --> 0:47:22.880 But yeah, so there's so that boat's got barbecue and 0:47:22.880 --> 0:47:27.239 fun stuff on it. You've got, you know, some of 0:47:27.239 --> 0:47:29.920 the cruises they're gonna have like Perogi's on the Three Rivers, 0:47:29.960 --> 0:47:33.480 Queen from Pittsburgh. So it's just a whole line of 0:47:33.960 --> 0:47:37.759 just amazing experiences on the river and you get to 0:47:37.800 --> 0:47:40.080 learn a little bit about the boats and their home 0:47:40.120 --> 0:47:40.839 ports as well. 0:47:41.200 --> 0:47:43.080 So let me ask you when you're talking about the 0:47:43.520 --> 0:47:46.040 food on do you have to take a cruise on 0:47:46.120 --> 0:47:48.640 these boats to get that food or can when they're 0:47:48.719 --> 0:47:52.040 docked and you do they have like a bar, say 0:47:52.080 --> 0:47:54.280 that you can walk up to and fetch that food. 0:47:55.640 --> 0:47:57.680 No, you've got to be on those boats to get 0:47:57.680 --> 0:48:01.080 those that food. However, there are more than forty food 0:48:01.200 --> 0:48:04.360 offerings down at the river of all different kinds of 0:48:04.400 --> 0:48:07.719 like backgrounds and nationalities on both sides of the river, 0:48:08.080 --> 0:48:09.960 and you guys will see that when you're at Ovation 0:48:10.560 --> 0:48:11.640 coming up tomorrow as well. 0:48:11.719 --> 0:48:15.640 Yeah, Catherine, I know, you know this is part of America, 0:48:15.719 --> 0:48:19.120 is really a part of the grand Er two hundred 0:48:19.120 --> 0:48:23.480 and fiftieth you know celebration. Is this is this a 0:48:23.560 --> 0:48:26.800 one time event? I know we had tall Stacks forever. 0:48:27.080 --> 0:48:30.080 I know there's been comparisons of this to tall stacks. 0:48:30.080 --> 0:48:33.239 It's not tall stacks. It's really more than that. Is 0:48:33.280 --> 0:48:36.359 this a one time event or do you think this 0:48:36.400 --> 0:48:38.600 will be? Is this something that could you know, become 0:48:38.640 --> 0:48:39.160 an annual? 0:48:40.640 --> 0:48:42.719 I think the next four days will tell us that okay, 0:48:42.760 --> 0:48:45.560 and I think, you know, the original plan was America's 0:48:45.600 --> 0:48:47.560 two fifty, like we're going to celebrate the two hundred 0:48:47.560 --> 0:48:50.840 and fiftieth anniversary. We're gonna, you know, there's gonna be 0:48:50.880 --> 0:48:53.200 a whole big birthday party. And this, by the way, 0:48:53.239 --> 0:48:58.160 America's River. It's the very first event that is officially 0:48:58.200 --> 0:49:00.640 an America two fifty event. So America once they starts 0:49:00.680 --> 0:49:01.840 here in Cincinnati. 0:49:01.440 --> 0:49:02.479 That's what you got to think about. 0:49:02.520 --> 0:49:05.560 The party starts here. Yeah, and so yeah, I don't 0:49:05.560 --> 0:49:08.640 think there's no like finite you know, concrete plans coming up. 0:49:08.680 --> 0:49:11.120 But you know, again, the next four days, we'll tell 0:49:11.160 --> 0:49:13.279 you and I'll tell you what's interesting. And yes, not 0:49:13.320 --> 0:49:14.920 many people are in a boat at four forty five 0:49:14.920 --> 0:49:17.400 in the morning, but I was. And you could tell 0:49:17.440 --> 0:49:20.839 by like ten am the festival, like the cruises haven't 0:49:20.880 --> 0:49:23.759 even started yet, and there's so many people coming down 0:49:23.800 --> 0:49:25.640 to look at these boats. And that's all those going 0:49:25.680 --> 0:49:29.319 on today, it's just cruises. And so yeah, you know, 0:49:29.400 --> 0:49:31.680 it's it's amazing. You cross the river. I live in 0:49:31.719 --> 0:49:33.560 northern Kentucky, said, I cross the river, and I've seen 0:49:33.560 --> 0:49:37.120 these amazing boats just like lit up overnight and it's 0:49:37.239 --> 0:49:39.320 I mean, it's something you don't get this, you literally 0:49:39.320 --> 0:49:41.480 don't get to see but once in a generation. It 0:49:41.520 --> 0:49:44.960 hasn't happened since in twenty years, and so yeah, we're 0:49:45.000 --> 0:49:47.480 just glad that that it's here, that Cincinnati is the 0:49:47.480 --> 0:49:49.960 place to do it. And what I love is Captain 0:49:50.000 --> 0:49:54.160 Allen Bernstein from Bbe river Boats. Everyone is giving him 0:49:54.160 --> 0:49:56.560 the credit. He is getting the credit for this. He 0:49:56.640 --> 0:49:59.200 was like, he picked up the phone and told seven 0:49:59.280 --> 0:50:02.839 Boats Institute that he owns, come to Cincinnati in your 0:50:03.000 --> 0:50:06.319 busiest time of the year, and we're going to make 0:50:06.360 --> 0:50:07.040 it worth your while. 0:50:07.120 --> 0:50:07.640 And they are. 0:50:07.719 --> 0:50:11.000 Their tickets are going great, and it's just it's exciting 0:50:11.040 --> 0:50:13.839 to be around these guys. They're all it's a it's 0:50:13.880 --> 0:50:16.919 not only a family within the boats, but like each 0:50:16.960 --> 0:50:20.440 boat is sometimes three and four generational. It's really interesting 0:50:20.520 --> 0:50:21.839 the way it all works out. 0:50:22.280 --> 0:50:25.640 Kather Nero is our guest and Ketherin Let's also we 0:50:25.640 --> 0:50:28.400 were talking about the entertainment. I think a lot of 0:50:28.400 --> 0:50:31.080 people got confused when some of the when the when 0:50:31.239 --> 0:50:35.959 these name acts got canceled as far as is doing 0:50:36.000 --> 0:50:38.279 the concerts go, but there's going to be plenty of 0:50:38.480 --> 0:50:40.440 I think people started thinking well, there's not going to 0:50:40.440 --> 0:50:42.360 be any music or anything. There's going to be plenty 0:50:42.360 --> 0:50:43.000 of entertainment. 0:50:43.040 --> 0:50:47.640 Correct, Yes, starting tomorrow, Starting tomorrow at eleven am, there's music. 0:50:47.800 --> 0:50:51.839 There's four free stages. The headliners were canceled and those 0:50:51.840 --> 0:50:54.759 were like the paid ticketed ones. Now all music is 0:50:54.840 --> 0:50:57.000 going to be free. And you name a style of 0:50:57.320 --> 0:51:00.960 river music and it's there, from Americana, foll Country, Dixie 0:51:01.040 --> 0:51:01.800 Land Rock. 0:51:01.640 --> 0:51:02.200 You name it. 0:51:02.800 --> 0:51:05.479 Four stages on both sides of the river, Yateman's Cove, 0:51:06.360 --> 0:51:09.880 Public Landing, schmid Lap, and then across the river in Newport. 0:51:10.000 --> 0:51:14.120 You're going to hear music the entire time during the 0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:16.000 you know, as you're boarding the cruises, or as you're 0:51:16.040 --> 0:51:19.120 eating food at you know, from the vendors in Yateman's Cove, 0:51:19.960 --> 0:51:22.719 or as you're learning. What's also really cool is they 0:51:22.760 --> 0:51:25.839 have a lot of educational pieces to it, so the 0:51:25.840 --> 0:51:28.719 ecology of the river. The Freedom Center has some amazing 0:51:29.640 --> 0:51:32.120 activations happening there where you can learn about the history 0:51:32.160 --> 0:51:35.399 and the journey of what the river represents. And that's 0:51:35.400 --> 0:51:37.840 what this is all about. The river connects us and 0:51:37.920 --> 0:51:40.560 I know in Cincinnati we love to say that river divides. 0:51:40.600 --> 0:51:43.440 This and every rubber chicken dinner we go to, people 0:51:43.440 --> 0:51:45.640 are like, well, did you get your passport to come 0:51:45.640 --> 0:51:50.719 across the river? You know, it's always always like that, 0:51:51.000 --> 0:51:53.560 but it is, it is really it connects us. And 0:51:53.640 --> 0:51:56.040 Chillie Kirkpatrick from meeting k Y says this so often, 0:51:56.080 --> 0:51:58.520 and she's right, there's the river connects us more than 0:51:58.520 --> 0:52:01.120 it divides us. There's more like with us than there 0:52:01.200 --> 0:52:04.000 is different. And so we're celebrating all of that as 0:52:04.000 --> 0:52:06.319 everybody comes, all these nine boats coming to town and 0:52:06.520 --> 0:52:09.440 these hundreds of thousands of folks and we're excited to 0:52:09.840 --> 0:52:10.399 host them here. 0:52:11.200 --> 0:52:15.239 Catherine with from a logistics you know, want to come down. 0:52:15.400 --> 0:52:17.200 I want to see everything. It's on both sides of 0:52:17.239 --> 0:52:21.640 the river, on the Cincinnati Riverfront the Newport Riverfront. Any 0:52:21.680 --> 0:52:24.520 suggestions on if you want to see everything and you 0:52:24.520 --> 0:52:26.600 want to get to both sides of the river, should 0:52:26.640 --> 0:52:29.160 you do it in two days? Come down to one 0:52:29.160 --> 0:52:31.160 side of the river one day, the other side the 0:52:31.200 --> 0:52:33.839 next or can you go is there an easy way 0:52:33.880 --> 0:52:36.640 to go between? Just park your car and you know, 0:52:36.760 --> 0:52:39.240 can you shuttle over or is there even a ferry 0:52:39.360 --> 0:52:39.800 or something? 0:52:39.880 --> 0:52:44.480 Or what you what I would say? I would say 0:52:44.480 --> 0:52:46.640 two days is probably your best bet. So I'm going 0:52:46.680 --> 0:52:49.120 to give you two options. One let's say you're like, nope, 0:52:49.120 --> 0:52:51.280 I only have one day. I would pick a weekday. 0:52:51.400 --> 0:52:53.080 I would say Thursday or Friday, because I think the 0:52:53.120 --> 0:52:55.480 crowds are going to be a little bit less. I 0:52:55.480 --> 0:52:58.680 would park in northern Kentucky because you've got the whole 0:52:59.080 --> 0:53:02.399 situation in New where there's a bourbon experience. There's a 0:53:02.440 --> 0:53:06.239 beer garden over there, there's a bottle shop that've got 0:53:06.239 --> 0:53:10.160 a candy and bourbon like pairing experience. Airheads has a 0:53:10.239 --> 0:53:13.200 giant hot air balloon and they're given out candy over there, 0:53:13.760 --> 0:53:16.000 and then you know, then you can walk across the 0:53:16.040 --> 0:53:18.520 Purple People Bridge where there is an artisan market where 0:53:18.560 --> 0:53:21.040 fifty makers will be on that bridge give you know, 0:53:21.080 --> 0:53:25.400 selling everything from clothing to you know, jewelry, you know, 0:53:26.040 --> 0:53:29.160 soaps and foods and anything like that, all across the river. 0:53:29.239 --> 0:53:32.279 So it's part of you're literally connecting one side to 0:53:32.320 --> 0:53:34.320 the other. And then as you get to the other side, 0:53:34.360 --> 0:53:36.640 you're there near the public land. It gets a little 0:53:36.680 --> 0:53:38.759 bit of a walk there, but you could get it 0:53:38.800 --> 0:53:40.799 all done right and you know, and hop on a 0:53:40.840 --> 0:53:43.880 cruise enjoy it. And in Citaspell. Now, if you had 0:53:43.920 --> 0:53:45.759 two days, I think I'd do a little of both. 0:53:45.880 --> 0:53:47.640 You know, go down there, don't do a cruise the 0:53:47.680 --> 0:53:49.839 first day, get the lay of the land. And by 0:53:49.840 --> 0:53:51.880 the way, you can walk up and buy tickets for cruises. 0:53:51.960 --> 0:53:53.879 You can get them online, of course, but there's also 0:53:53.880 --> 0:53:56.600 an availability down there. If you're like moved in the 0:53:56.640 --> 0:53:58.560 moment and you're like I got to get on the 0:53:58.600 --> 0:54:02.040 anson and Betsy North a boat, you can do it 0:54:02.120 --> 0:54:05.959 right then and there. So yeah, if that's the case, 0:54:06.000 --> 0:54:08.040 I would check it out that way and maybe spend 0:54:08.120 --> 0:54:10.960 two days enjoying just about everything. And there's different activities 0:54:10.960 --> 0:54:13.080 every day too. The best way to figure all that 0:54:13.080 --> 0:54:15.359 out is the festival app, which you can just search 0:54:15.440 --> 0:54:17.560 River Roots in your app store and download. 0:54:18.080 --> 0:54:21.239 All right, and it shall be done. And again we're 0:54:21.239 --> 0:54:22.680 going to Jason and I are going to be doing 0:54:22.680 --> 0:54:26.919 the show live from ovation on the River. That'll be fun. 0:54:28.280 --> 0:54:30.680 It's a beautiful thing down there. They've got set up. 0:54:30.719 --> 0:54:33.160 We're going to be at the market bar. Now, let's 0:54:33.320 --> 0:54:37.120 switch gears here at Katherine Neiro and talk about you 0:54:37.239 --> 0:54:41.200 being I. I was pretty sure I've known you for 0:54:41.200 --> 0:54:44.399 for a minute girl, and uh, a little bit, Yeah, 0:54:44.440 --> 0:54:46.799 a little bit. And uh, I knew you were from 0:54:47.040 --> 0:54:49.799 down that way. I don't remember ever hearing that you 0:54:49.840 --> 0:54:51.799 were a tour guide at Graceland. 0:54:53.120 --> 0:54:54.600 You must not have been listening. 0:54:55.840 --> 0:55:00.000 Lead with that information as well. But I mean you 0:54:59.320 --> 0:55:01.920 when Earl Love and I had you on our podcast 0:55:01.960 --> 0:55:06.359 at the Inquiry, you you led with that information it. Yeah, 0:55:06.440 --> 0:55:07.239 it's great. 0:55:08.520 --> 0:55:10.719 Because, like listen, there's not a lot of people who 0:55:10.719 --> 0:55:12.239 can lead with the job they had when they were 0:55:12.280 --> 0:55:18.160 seventeen and people go, really, oh my goodness, don't do that. Yeah. Now, yeah, 0:55:18.200 --> 0:55:20.759 I was a tour out at Graceland for US several years. 0:55:21.480 --> 0:55:25.919 I absolutely loved it. I credit that job with being 0:55:25.960 --> 0:55:28.319 able to talk to any human being, whether they speak 0:55:28.360 --> 0:55:31.160 English or not, because we had tons of people from 0:55:31.800 --> 0:55:35.520 overseas who came in to you know, celebrate Elvis during 0:55:35.640 --> 0:55:38.239 Elvis Week and all that good stuff. I've met so 0:55:38.320 --> 0:55:42.120 many wonderful people and learned a lot about the King. 0:55:42.400 --> 0:55:44.680 I'm a big fan. I have an Elvis room in 0:55:44.760 --> 0:55:46.239 fact in my house. 0:55:47.080 --> 0:55:49.120 Now, did you ever meet any of the family, Did 0:55:49.160 --> 0:55:51.800 you meet Silla or any of those people along the way. 0:55:52.239 --> 0:55:54.799 Well, okay, I got a good story about Lisa Marie. 0:55:55.239 --> 0:55:58.120 Not Vernon was long gone before before I got there, 0:55:59.400 --> 0:56:03.359 but I didn't Lisa Marie one time, so she I 0:56:03.440 --> 0:56:06.160 was working in the Jungle room as the tour guide there. 0:56:06.520 --> 0:56:10.640 And at the time that I worked at Graceland, Elvis's 0:56:10.680 --> 0:56:13.880 aunt Delsa lived in the house, like in the house 0:56:14.320 --> 0:56:18.400 that is the second busiest house, second most visited house 0:56:18.480 --> 0:56:21.279 in America behind the White House at the time, that 0:56:21.320 --> 0:56:23.120 woman lived in there, and I don't know how she 0:56:23.200 --> 0:56:28.160 did it, but she did. And so Lisa Marie comes. 0:56:28.200 --> 0:56:31.160 I see this woman and these two children walking through 0:56:32.000 --> 0:56:35.440 like the private area that only miss Delta can go through, 0:56:36.000 --> 0:56:38.279 and I'm like, ma'am, man, mam'am, this is not for 0:56:38.320 --> 0:56:40.360 the guest. Guests must go outside. And she's like, oh, no, 0:56:40.480 --> 0:56:45.439 it's okay. I'm Lisa. And I was like, I don't Grace, 0:56:45.640 --> 0:56:47.560 that's your name. And then I looked at her face 0:56:47.600 --> 0:56:49.520 and you know how much she looked like Elvit And 0:56:49.560 --> 0:56:52.520 I was like, oh, oh that Lisa. Oh yes, please 0:56:52.560 --> 0:56:55.160 come on through, so the house that is yours. Please 0:56:55.200 --> 0:56:57.120 come into the house that I tried to prevent you 0:56:57.160 --> 0:57:01.640 from coming in Superborian. She was so nice. Yes, exactly 0:57:01.680 --> 0:57:03.879 she was so nice, but she was going to see 0:57:03.880 --> 0:57:08.799 her great aunt and yeah, so that, you know, was 0:57:08.840 --> 0:57:11.560 an experience I'll never forget. It was fantastic. 0:57:11.640 --> 0:57:12.160 I learned so. 0:57:12.239 --> 0:57:16.000 Much about Elvis, about his not just about him, but 0:57:16.080 --> 0:57:18.560 like the impact he had on people. And this is 0:57:18.560 --> 0:57:20.880 my favorite fact that I always like to say, Elvis 0:57:20.920 --> 0:57:23.200 never toured outside the United States, with the exception of 0:57:23.240 --> 0:57:26.640 three stops in Canada in nineteen fifty seven, and yet 0:57:26.880 --> 0:57:29.760 every single tour group that came through would have people 0:57:30.080 --> 0:57:33.240 international visitors. They would have people from Japan and from 0:57:33.240 --> 0:57:36.200 Germany and from Australia and you name it, you name it, 0:57:36.480 --> 0:57:40.200 and it's like, how did they like And there would 0:57:40.200 --> 0:57:43.000 be people that weren't even born when he died in 0:57:43.080 --> 0:57:45.040 nineteen seventy seven. So it's like that means it's a 0:57:45.080 --> 0:57:48.840 generational thing. Your your mom or your grandma or your 0:57:48.880 --> 0:57:51.640 grandpa introduced you to this, and now it's going. It 0:57:51.680 --> 0:57:56.160 has created an entire business. And this is the craziest part. 0:57:56.920 --> 0:58:01.160 My sister met her husband who was from Australia because 0:58:01.680 --> 0:58:04.439 he was in town to visit Graceland. That's how they met. 0:58:04.560 --> 0:58:06.680 And now they live in Australia happily ever after. 0:58:07.040 --> 0:58:07.680 That's cool. 0:58:07.880 --> 0:58:11.080 Graysland needs to hire you and game day because I 0:58:11.120 --> 0:58:12.520 want to go to river and. 0:58:13.400 --> 0:58:16.160 I want to take I actually wanted to take a 0:58:16.200 --> 0:58:19.080 boat down two months and. 0:58:20.640 --> 0:58:22.760 Had it down there. Eddie, we can do it. It 0:58:22.840 --> 0:58:24.000 only takes like six days. 0:58:24.040 --> 0:58:27.680 It'll be fine, all right, Thanks Bud, We'll see you 0:58:27.720 --> 0:58:34.760 down there.

She was originally 0:59:07.560 --> 0:59:10.120 in sports for WCPO. Remember that. 0:59:11.000 --> 0:59:13.120 With that, we check in with traffic and weather.

I'm not sure about that. 1:01:15.200 --> 1:01:18.080 He kindly trucker picked him up on seventy one and 1:01:18.120 --> 1:01:21.520 brought him down here short drive. Here to discuss with 1:01:21.640 --> 1:01:26.480 us is Mike Petrelia from cl NS Media, the Jungle 1:01:26.520 --> 1:01:30.680 Roar podcast and on and on tracks. So let's let's 1:01:30.680 --> 1:01:33.040 talk about it. It's been broken down into the national 1:01:33.080 --> 1:01:37.000 media and nobody's impressed so far. Your thoughts. 1:01:37.040 --> 1:01:40.720 Well, here's what I think. If Joe Flaco has time 1:01:40.840 --> 1:01:43.000 to throw the ball down field, I think he's going 1:01:43.080 --> 1:01:46.080 to be able to push the ball further downfield to 1:01:46.160 --> 1:01:48.520 the targets that you paid two hundred and seventy five 1:01:48.560 --> 1:01:52.400 million dollars YEP or invested two hundred and seventy five 1:01:52.440 --> 1:01:56.400 million dollars in back in March. And that's obviously Jamar 1:01:56.520 --> 1:01:59.680 Chase and T Higgins. That wasn't the case with Jake 1:01:59.720 --> 1:02:03.320 brown and I think the optics in the Bengals front 1:02:03.360 --> 1:02:07.080 office after watching the game against the Lions, it was 1:02:07.160 --> 1:02:10.800 clear to them not only was Shake Browning not taking 1:02:10.800 --> 1:02:13.360 care of the football, which he phoned up to today 1:02:13.400 --> 1:02:15.840 in the locker room, and we can get to that 1:02:15.920 --> 1:02:18.800 in just a moment, but he wasn't able to push 1:02:18.840 --> 1:02:22.280 the ball down the field make the strong throats. Joe 1:02:22.320 --> 1:02:25.160 Flacco is forty years of age, going to be forty 1:02:25.200 --> 1:02:28.400 one very shortly, but he still has a rock and 1:02:28.600 --> 1:02:30.760 arm and he showed that off today a little bit 1:02:30.800 --> 1:02:33.760 from what we saw in practice, and the Bengals are 1:02:33.800 --> 1:02:38.800 hopefully going to are hopeful to provide him the time 1:02:38.880 --> 1:02:41.040 to throw the ball down field to the targets that 1:02:41.120 --> 1:02:42.760 they invested so much money in. 1:02:43.920 --> 1:02:46.280 Well tracks just kind of backing up on them. Did 1:02:46.320 --> 1:02:49.000 you generally like, you like this move? 1:02:51.120 --> 1:02:53.640 I guess it was the best move that the Bengals 1:02:53.640 --> 1:02:56.720 could make. The Bengals had to make a move, and 1:02:56.760 --> 1:02:59.400 when people ask me that I like and it was 1:02:59.440 --> 1:03:03.480 the best. It was the most realistic move they could make. 1:03:03.560 --> 1:03:07.360 They weren't going to get Russell Wilson because Russell Wilson 1:03:07.920 --> 1:03:12.760 doesn't have the knowledge of the Bengals offense, and I 1:03:12.800 --> 1:03:16.600 don't think the Bengals felt that he could pick up 1:03:16.640 --> 1:03:20.400 the offense the way he would have to playing for 1:03:20.520 --> 1:03:24.760 Zach Taylor. Whereas Zach Taylor looks at Joe Flacco and says, 1:03:24.920 --> 1:03:26.880 you know, he's not the most mobile, He's not a 1:03:26.880 --> 1:03:30.840 mobile quarterback, but he understands what I'm calling in terms 1:03:30.840 --> 1:03:33.360 of plays, and he can make that part of the 1:03:33.400 --> 1:03:37.320 offense at least function with Jamar or with the Russell Wilson, 1:03:37.480 --> 1:03:42.560 Jamis Winston, maybe even Andy Dalton. I thought was a possibility. 1:03:43.720 --> 1:03:47.000 They didn't. Yeah, and I thought so too. And we 1:03:47.040 --> 1:03:51.840 really didn't get into that this afternoon with Zach Taylor, 1:03:52.200 --> 1:03:55.960 nor would I expect him to answer that Forthrightly, I 1:03:55.960 --> 1:03:59.160 don't blame him, but there were many options. Oh and 1:03:59.440 --> 1:04:04.200 Kirk Cousin that contract was prohibited that they were never 1:04:04.280 --> 1:04:07.520 going to take on the one hundred million dollars or 1:04:07.520 --> 1:04:10.280 whatever it is left on that field that they would 1:04:10.320 --> 1:04:12.720 have to eat. They're not going to do that. So 1:04:13.440 --> 1:04:17.000 with all of those options available, Joe Blacco was the 1:04:17.040 --> 1:04:19.320 best remaining And do I think a movement needed to 1:04:19.360 --> 1:04:22.560 be made, Yes, after watching what we've watched the last 1:04:22.640 --> 1:04:26.600 three games, after Joe Burrow went on insured they had 1:04:26.640 --> 1:04:30.040 to do something. They couldn't just sit back and go, well, well, 1:04:30.360 --> 1:04:33.560 take our you know, take our shot with Jake Browning 1:04:33.600 --> 1:04:36.320 and hope that things get better. And this is a 1:04:36.520 --> 1:04:43.200 bottom line industry, and the Bengals knew that. The Bengals 1:04:43.240 --> 1:04:47.720 knew that they had to do something to keep themselves afloat, 1:04:48.080 --> 1:04:51.280 especially in a season where the Ravens and Browns are 1:04:51.320 --> 1:04:54.439 one and four, the Steelers or whatever four and one. 1:04:54.560 --> 1:04:57.480 But nobody believes that that's going to last. So the 1:04:57.520 --> 1:05:01.440 Bengals have an opportunity if they can get their ship righted, 1:05:01.800 --> 1:05:04.760 if they can win five or six games without Joe 1:05:04.800 --> 1:05:08.360 Burrow and well by the time he comes back, they 1:05:08.400 --> 1:05:10.920 can fight for a division title, get to the playoffs 1:05:10.960 --> 1:05:12.120 and see what happens. 1:05:13.520 --> 1:05:16.720 How much I mean was a part of this trags? 1:05:16.760 --> 1:05:19.080 I know it. You know, there's a list of things, 1:05:19.680 --> 1:05:21.880 but is one of the fact that the Bengals are 1:05:21.920 --> 1:05:25.560 desperate for a win. They're playing Green Bay this week, 1:05:26.200 --> 1:05:30.160 and that Flacco beat green and he wasn't exactly spectacular, 1:05:30.320 --> 1:05:33.640 but he does know their scheme and everything, and that 1:05:33.680 --> 1:05:36.000 he did beat them a few weeks ago with the Browns, 1:05:36.400 --> 1:05:39.320 did that play and knowing how big of a game 1:05:39.360 --> 1:05:42.200 this is and it's did any of that play into this? 1:05:43.680 --> 1:05:46.520 Yeah, it's a great point. And Zach Taylor made reference 1:05:46.560 --> 1:05:50.200 to that that yes, he's already prepared for green Bay 1:05:50.280 --> 1:05:53.480 once this season, so that game plan has certainly freshened 1:05:53.560 --> 1:05:56.120 his mind. That gives him a running start this week, 1:05:56.160 --> 1:05:59.680 There's no question about that. But you know, in that 1:05:59.720 --> 1:06:03.600 Green Bay game, the Packers were a had ten nothing 1:06:03.920 --> 1:06:05.920 with about four and a half minutes to go. Every 1:06:05.960 --> 1:06:09.520 that was and then the Packers felt destructed. And the 1:06:10.280 --> 1:06:12.640 give credit to the Browns for their only win over 1:06:12.720 --> 1:06:16.960 a very quality team. But you know, let's not make 1:06:17.000 --> 1:06:19.600 too much of the Packer of Browns feeding the Packers 1:06:19.600 --> 1:06:23.360 with Flaco, because Baco this year has not been He 1:06:23.440 --> 1:06:27.360 actually has worse numbers overall than Jake Browning if we're 1:06:27.400 --> 1:06:30.840 being honest, if we're being brutally honest, this move was 1:06:30.920 --> 1:06:34.360 made one because of the strength of his throwing arm, 1:06:34.720 --> 1:06:37.680 his ability to push the ball down the field, his 1:06:37.840 --> 1:06:42.200 veteran experience. He has eighteen years of NFL experience, and 1:06:43.080 --> 1:06:46.600 maybe most of all, there's a different energy in the 1:06:46.640 --> 1:06:49.360 locker room today when you walk in and say, hey, 1:06:49.680 --> 1:06:51.760 we've got a guy that has a Super Bowl ring 1:06:52.520 --> 1:06:55.800 in his cachet on his resume. So there is that. 1:06:55.920 --> 1:06:59.120 So the Bengals at least give him credit for bringing 1:06:59.160 --> 1:07:02.440 in somebody with a resume that has a lot of 1:07:02.480 --> 1:07:04.919 respect to command the room well. 1:07:05.040 --> 1:07:07.400 And also, guys, let's talk about the fact that the 1:07:07.480 --> 1:07:09.680 natives here in town, and by that I'm talking about 1:07:09.680 --> 1:07:13.480 the fans were getting restless real quick. 1:07:15.280 --> 1:07:17.080 Oh, there's no question about that, and they're going to 1:07:17.120 --> 1:07:21.200 continue to get wrestless if the offensive line doesn't improve 1:07:21.240 --> 1:07:25.280 its performance. It was a bit better last week, believe 1:07:25.320 --> 1:07:28.360 it or not. And Orlando Brown and Ten Carris made 1:07:28.440 --> 1:07:31.400 reference to this this afternoon that they can you know, 1:07:31.520 --> 1:07:35.120 slowly feel the offensive line getting better road this week. 1:07:35.120 --> 1:07:38.400 It can't slowly get better. It has to be significantly better. 1:07:38.760 --> 1:07:41.800 And for the love of Pete, it's got to run 1:07:41.840 --> 1:07:44.760 the football. If you're going to protect and give Joe 1:07:44.800 --> 1:07:48.120 Placo any chance of play action, which he's very, very 1:07:48.120 --> 1:07:50.760 good at, if you're going to give him any chance 1:07:51.440 --> 1:07:54.840 of running that part of the Bengal offense, you've got 1:07:54.840 --> 1:07:57.320 to run the ball. And you know, I was talking 1:07:57.360 --> 1:08:02.200 with one offensive lineman today who said that, you know, 1:08:02.240 --> 1:08:04.520 we ran the ball ten times for whatever it was, 1:08:04.600 --> 1:08:07.520 seventy yards. We're starting to pick things up at the 1:08:07.600 --> 1:08:10.400 run game. We just have to give our selves a 1:08:10.480 --> 1:08:13.200 chance to run the ball more. And obviously, when you 1:08:13.240 --> 1:08:15.480 fall down twenty eight to three, how many chances we're 1:08:15.520 --> 1:08:18.040 going to get to run the ball. Not many. But 1:08:19.000 --> 1:08:22.880 if you play a competitive game with Green Bay, ideally, guys, 1:08:23.120 --> 1:08:26.559 what should happen Sunday is they keep it close. They 1:08:26.680 --> 1:08:29.040 slow the game down, much like the Browns didn't with 1:08:29.120 --> 1:08:32.240 the Packers a couple of weeks ago. Slow the game down, 1:08:32.920 --> 1:08:36.280 run the ball effectively, give Joe Placo a chance to 1:08:36.320 --> 1:08:39.160 make a couple of play action passes downfield at Jamar 1:08:39.200 --> 1:08:42.679 and t and not turn the ball over. You check 1:08:42.720 --> 1:08:45.160 all those boxes, and it's a lot to check, but 1:08:45.280 --> 1:08:47.720 you check all those boxes, you've got a chance to win. 1:08:47.840 --> 1:08:52.439 Sunday, we're talking to Mike Montrelia Trags. You mentioned earlier 1:08:52.520 --> 1:08:54.600 Jig Browning in the locker room. What did he have 1:08:54.680 --> 1:08:56.960 to say, Well. 1:08:56.760 --> 1:08:59.479 He said he was pissed off, There's no question about it. 1:08:59.560 --> 1:09:02.920 He's up that he's had a not a good week 1:09:03.560 --> 1:09:07.920 and he understands, but he understands the business of the NFL. 1:09:09.520 --> 1:09:13.360 Read between the lines. He realizes that a lot of 1:09:13.400 --> 1:09:15.960 this falls on his shoulders, but not all of it 1:09:16.160 --> 1:09:21.439 because the quote, I'll i'll paraphrase the quote here. I 1:09:21.600 --> 1:09:24.599 was told before some games that we've got to do 1:09:24.680 --> 1:09:27.360 more to help you out, and then I go out 1:09:27.400 --> 1:09:31.360 and have two and a half bad quarters and they 1:09:31.400 --> 1:09:34.120 decided they had to make a move that I just 1:09:34.200 --> 1:09:36.559 tweeted out the video of that from the locker room. 1:09:36.600 --> 1:09:38.679 He can go check it out on my X speed 1:09:38.880 --> 1:09:42.920 t R A G S Trag and yeah, it's right, 1:09:43.000 --> 1:09:46.759 and it's up there. And I found those comments pretty telling. 1:09:46.920 --> 1:09:50.640 That's where Jake Browning's mindset is at. He knows he 1:09:50.720 --> 1:09:53.960 did not play well He knows he he threw six 1:09:54.120 --> 1:09:57.080 touchdowns but eight interceptions. He knows he didn't take care 1:09:57.080 --> 1:10:01.320 of the football, but he also realizes the offensive line 1:10:01.439 --> 1:10:04.719 was not good and the run game was non existent. 1:10:07.200 --> 1:10:10.400 Along those lines to tracks, you know, when you look 1:10:10.439 --> 1:10:16.320 at do you think if the AFC weren't so wide 1:10:16.320 --> 1:10:20.599 open that the Bengals front office would have said, non, 1:10:20.640 --> 1:10:22.680 We're just gonna stick with Jake or the fact that 1:10:23.479 --> 1:10:26.160 I mean, look at Kansas City two and three, look 1:10:26.200 --> 1:10:29.880 at Baltimore and look at their own division. Really it's 1:10:30.000 --> 1:10:32.519 wide open. Still as bad as the Bengals have been 1:10:32.560 --> 1:10:34.720 losing by twenty five points a game on average the 1:10:34.800 --> 1:10:38.439 last three weeks, they're two and three, and you know, 1:10:38.640 --> 1:10:41.160 the Steeler or the Ravens are one and four. The 1:10:41.200 --> 1:10:44.200 Steelers are three and one. They're beatable. You look around 1:10:44.200 --> 1:10:46.240 the AFC. It is really wide open. 1:10:47.840 --> 1:10:51.439 It is. And if you make an effort to stay 1:10:51.479 --> 1:10:55.760 competitive in these weeks without Burrow, then you've got a 1:10:55.880 --> 1:10:58.080 chance to win the division. You win the division, you 1:10:58.120 --> 1:11:02.000 get one home game, and then you build someone And look, 1:11:02.040 --> 1:11:05.400 we all know how the Bengals played last year with 1:11:05.640 --> 1:11:08.000 Joe Burrow in the final five weeks in. 1:11:09.600 --> 1:11:09.960 The end. 1:11:10.040 --> 1:11:13.720 We all talked about how they rued those losses that 1:11:13.880 --> 1:11:17.280 one and four start or one in three start last 1:11:17.360 --> 1:11:20.760 year before they finally got the engine going. They don't 1:11:20.760 --> 1:11:23.920 want to go through that again. But again, if you 1:11:24.160 --> 1:11:27.240 want Joe Burrow to play a whole season, you've got 1:11:27.240 --> 1:11:30.360 to have a better offensive line. And you know, we 1:11:30.479 --> 1:11:34.160 talked about the slow start all of our last offseason. 1:11:34.880 --> 1:11:37.480 This offseason we're going to be talking about the offensive 1:11:37.520 --> 1:11:40.599 line again and how they need to rebuild it. I 1:11:40.640 --> 1:11:44.000 guarantee you that is going to happen because the poor 1:11:44.120 --> 1:11:48.280 offensive line, directly or indirectly a little bit of both 1:11:48.840 --> 1:11:50.839 led to Joe Burrow getting hurt. 1:11:51.000 --> 1:11:51.519 No doubt. 1:11:51.760 --> 1:11:55.920 Well, we're talking to a world where the NFL right now, 1:11:56.479 --> 1:11:59.280 one of the teams, the big team right now seems 1:11:59.320 --> 1:12:05.639 to be the Jack and Ville Jaggs guys. And that 1:12:05.640 --> 1:12:08.080 that game the other night against the Chiefs Man, that 1:12:08.400 --> 1:12:11.639 ending thing. H if you haven't seen it, do yourself 1:12:11.640 --> 1:12:15.560 a favor, because that was like the Keystone Cops with 1:12:15.080 --> 1:12:18.639 the three stooges make stand youth football. It really did. 1:12:18.760 --> 1:12:19.880 It looked like you, well. 1:12:19.720 --> 1:12:21.639 They can't get back up and run off the ground, but. 1:12:21.720 --> 1:12:25.280 Just tew you designed it, uh with the with that trags, 1:12:25.320 --> 1:12:26.200 We'll let you go, buddy. 1:12:26.200 --> 1:12:29.519 Thanks so much, guys, have a good one and thanks 1:12:29.520 --> 1:12:30.200 for having. 1:12:29.920 --> 1:12:34.280 Me take tracks. Thanks good stuff, Mike Petrolia. Yeah, but 1:12:34.400 --> 1:12:39.600 that do yourself a favor. I just happened. I'm with 1:12:39.720 --> 1:12:41.519 the bed and I'm just gonna sit here and watch 1:12:41.520 --> 1:12:44.160 the end of this game. And I thought, well, of 1:12:44.200 --> 1:12:45.920 the Chiefs got this thing in the bag, and then 1:12:45.920 --> 1:12:47.800 all of a sudden the Jags catch fire and get 1:12:47.840 --> 1:12:50.400 down there. And then that last that last play, I 1:12:50.520 --> 1:12:54.120 was like, I literally was laughing sitting on the couch. 1:12:54.560 --> 1:12:57.160 Well, and then right and I was against the Chiefs 1:12:57.200 --> 1:12:59.320 the fact they couldn't get to them. And then you're 1:12:59.320 --> 1:13:02.760 sewing like the fact that the Jacksonville Jaguars are four 1:13:02.800 --> 1:13:05.280 and one. They have tied for the best record, yeah 1:13:05.320 --> 1:13:08.120 in the AFC or really in the NFL with several teams, 1:13:08.120 --> 1:13:11.880 but that that alone, because that's not a very good team. 1:13:12.400 --> 1:13:15.800 Well their defense anyway, their offense is pretty good. And 1:13:15.880 --> 1:13:20.360 you're like, if that's the first place team in the AFC, like, okay, 1:13:21.320 --> 1:13:23.320 I mean if you're the Bengals, and credit to them, 1:13:23.360 --> 1:13:25.559 Like we're not throwing the talon just yet. 1:13:25.600 --> 1:13:28.840 Here, No point it with that.
