WEBVTT - 10-3-25 Scott Sloan Show 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.720 Do you want to be an American Idio Scott blown 0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:08.440 back seven hundred WLW headed into the weekend. How about 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:10.720 them Bearcats, Dan Hord, Well, let's we should just talk 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:12.640 about the Bearcats for the next twenty minutes. 0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:16.880 What do you think aren't prepared to discuss anything you 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.320 want to discuss, Floni. The last time we did one 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:21.439 of these segments, I think the Bengals were two and 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:24.520 oh and we were riding hide by the fact that 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:27.640 Joe Burrow had suffered an injury. But yeah, I'd love to. 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:28.680 Discuss the Bearcats. 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:30.760 They've got a chance to pop into the top twenty 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.800 five if they can beat Iowa State tomorrow. They're a 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:37.040 slight favorite against the number fourteen team in the country 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.280 that has a five and oh record. So this is 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:42.920 a chance to really get fans around the country and 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.920 locally buzzing about the UC Bearcats, who might have something 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:46.680 special brewing. 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.080 I'll get in aside. It's been fun to watch, and 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.120 god knows, I've had a few weeks now, Dan too, 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.720 as I recouper rate to watch football, and Brandon Sorosby 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.880 he bawled out against Kansas, But I think almost four 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.840 hundred yards two passing touchdowns and and just to watch 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:04.200 them move the ball seemingly at will, either through the 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:08.760 air or on the ground, is absolutely refreshing. And Cincinnati, 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:09.760 let's put it that way. 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.319 The game when he turned twenty nine seconds to go, 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.720 that was one of the more entertaining games I've seen 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.520 in a long, long time. Twelve hundred yards of offense, 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:23.160 fifty five first downs, neither team ever led by more 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:27.000 than seven points. It was like Ali versus Fraser back 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.319 in the day. Uppercuts being thrown by both teams, and 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:34.440 Cincinnati landed the last punch. So that was great. And 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.240 as for Brendan Soresby, one of these ESPN number crunching 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.880 gurus this week, great at every quarterback in the country. 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:45.319 He came out number six, so he's really playing well. 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.680 The offensive line has been tremendous. They've given up just 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.520 one sack so far this season. So here we go, 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.040 huge game tomorrow, see if the Bearcats can maybe pop 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:56.120 into the top twenty five. 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.640 I think so simply because you know, you've got a 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.000 number fourteen team in Iowa State that comes into town limping, 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.480 because if you look at their defensive back and they're 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.480 missing like what four or five guys. It was four 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.040 or five defensive backs alone, and if you look at 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.799 the Brendon Soersby and the offense, you don't want to 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.640 see the backups certainly can't come and step up and 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.600 fill that role. But boy, that's asking a lot of 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:18.840 that team. 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.280 And not only are they missing a lot of guys 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.040 in the secondary, but they're missing really good players. Both 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.680 of their starting outside corners are out for the year, 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.600 and both of those guys were all Big twelve at 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.519 some point over the last couple of years, so they're 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.400 really good players. Iowa State plays the defense at Cincinnati, 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:40.480 started playing last year the three three five, and it's 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.120 you know, the success is based on the play of 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.359 the secondary. There are a lot of guys back there 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.440 on every play to confuse the quarterback. Iowa State is 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.840 always among the national leaders in interceptions. They've got six 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.760 so far this year. So when you start subtracting the 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.080 best guys at the most important unit, that figures to 0:02:58.160 --> 0:02:59.920 hurt the team. And we'll see if the bearcatsk can 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:00.880 capital tomorrow. 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.360 It's always about capitalizing when the other team is down, 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.200 and that then causes us to pivot to our Cincinnati 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.680 Bengals losing last week to the Denver Broncos twenty eight 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.120 to three. On Monday Night Football, Bengals fall to two 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.360 and two and the three and one Lions, one of 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.600 the Super Bowl favorites, comes to town and the Bengals 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.400 open a league worst ten point dogs at home. Uh jeez, 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:28.680 where do you start here? Obviously, the big question this week, 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.480 and the tongues have been wagging, is you know Dan 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.520 Horde about Jake Browning. Let's face it, the Jake Browning 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.840 that we saw what two years ago when Burrow went down. 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.840 Not the same not the same Browning we're seeing today. 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.640 Three points, first drive, get a field goal, that's it 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.480 for the game. And it's not like, you know, Denver 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:47.320 is one of the bigger teams in the AFC. The 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.120 cry has been, we need a quarter we need a 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.120 new quarterback. Russell Wilson's a workout. Get Russell Wilson, get 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.840 Kirk Cousins, somebody through Jameis Winston out there too, and 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.680 coach Taylors dougas Hilson said, no, we're not doing it now. 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.440 Is that? Is that a game to get? If the 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:04.200 Bengals get blown out on Sunday Dan does that narrative. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:09.080 Change, who knows, you know, if Jake Browning continues to 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.280 struggle the way he's played the last couple of weeks, 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.560 and at some point they would have to consider a change, 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.960 whether that's guys that they already have. You know, they 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.960 picked up Sean Clifford, the former Saint Jager High school 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.599 quarterback a couple of weeks ago. That got Mike White, 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.719 who's bounced around with a lot of NFL teams. So 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.880 they've got other quarterbacks in the building right now that 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.840 they could turn to, and Jake has to play better 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.880 to keep his job. Let me push back on one 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.080 thing that you said, Flowy. I do think Denver is 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.560 one of the better teams in the AFC. You know, 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.039 they're two and two, but they lost two games on 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.960 walkoff field goals. They've got a seven game home winning streak, 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:46.760 and it was a primetime game at night, so that's 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.960 a tough game to win. Now, should it have been 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.120 as lopsided as it was, of course not. The offense was, 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.159 you know, non functional after the opening drive where they 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.120 kicked the field goal, and that's really been the biggest problem. 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.800 The offense just has done nothing. They can't hold onto 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:03.640 the ball. They haven't been able to run the ball, 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.080 so they're gonna have to get that fixed in a hurry. 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.080 Jake did play well the first game he came in 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.400 for Joe. He threw three interceptions, but he did help 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.960 them score thirty one points in a win over Jacksonville. 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.360 It's the Bengals only home game so far, so we'll 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.880 see hopefully in Hombold they'll play a lot better on 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.120 Sunday and maybe pull off a big upset, much like 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.240 the forty nine ers did last night. I think San 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.680 Francisco is about an eight point underdog last night, and 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.479 they beat the Rams in LA, so it can be done. 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.800 My take with that is Russell Wilson, Okay, or Kirk 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:40.159 Cousins or Winston. You know, we saw plenty of Russell Wilson. 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.719 It's not the same Russell Wilson who dominated the NFL 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.200 for the better part of a decade. I think you're 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.840 gonna lose. Maybe the end result is less embarrassing, Dan, 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.680 but Russell Wilson is going to come in with a 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.160 cape and learn that playbook. In the period of a 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:54.880 week or two, and all of a sudden, the Bengals 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:56.680 are going to be in playoff contention that that's not 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:57.239 gonna happen. 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:02.600 I mean, Russell Wilson. I see these, you know, posts 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.760 on social media the Bengals have interest in Russell Wilson. 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.840 Maybe proved me wrong, but I just don't see that 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.600 one at all. I mean, of all the veteran names 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.520 that have been tossed about, Jameis Winston doesn't excite me, 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:19.280 although he's tremendously entertaining. Yeah, but you know, if you 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.120 want to add to your career pick six totals, that's 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:22.520 your guy. 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:24.480 Kirk. Yeah. 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.280 Sure, Kirk Cousins I think can still really play now. 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.760 I don't know about the contract ramifications because he got 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.840 a huge deal from Atlanta before they drafted Michael Pennix, 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.400 and Pennix is really struggling. So it's probably not out 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.240 of the question that the Falcons are going to turn 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.719 back to Kirk Cousins at some point. But again, I'm 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.440 not really placing all of the blame here on Jake Browning. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.279 The offensive line has really struggled. That's where it begins. 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:52.840 The offensive line has to perform better, and you know 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.120 they've turned to two rookies now starting at guard I'm 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.880 kind of enthused about Jalen Rivers. He had his up 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.400 and down moments, certainly against Denver, but at least he's 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.080 a guy they can give you some push in the 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.600 running game. I thought he did that pretty well actually 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.680 on Monday Night. Or more struggles in pass protection than 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.840 run blocking, but they got to get the running game going. 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:14.600 And if he's a guy that can get some push 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:16.640 and right guard, sign me up. 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:17.360 Let's see if. 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.480 They can develop two young offensive linemen. Can that can 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.000 be part of this line going forward? 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.720 Yeah? Yeah, and that interior it's just been you and 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.320 you wonder how much of that is just the problem 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.920 that exists when you, okay, lose QB one in Joe Burrow, 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.920 and Joe Burrow covered up a lot of mistakes, as 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.080 we know, on a lot of problems with this team. 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:38.040 They got exposed in that line certainly doesn't help at all. 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.360 But if they could help Chase run the ball a 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.520 little bit better, I mean, just a few more yards 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.880 of carry, that would certainly help a lot. I don't 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:46.640 know if it's going to matter. It seems like the 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.480 lines though, Dan there, they are. 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:53.600 Unbelievable, especially on offense. Yeah, you know, they're averaging thirty 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.600 four points a game. They're number one in the NFL. 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.040 They averaged thirty three last year. That was number one 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.440 in the NFL. Green Bay held them to say, thirteen 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.640 points in Week one. The Packers won that game by fourteen, 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.440 and they did it by exposing the inside of the 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.640 Lions offensive line. They've got changes at left guard, center, 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.360 and right guard. So early, at least it was problematic. 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.680 Over the last three weeks it hasn't been. But if 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.840 you can attack that team and hold them to a 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:24.520 reasonable number, I think it begins with dominating the inside 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.280 part of their offensive line. 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.160 Yeah, and so much for the talk about losing their 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:33.240 coordinators in the offseason. And Ben Johnson goes to the Bears, right, 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.000 that looked like that other than the first in Week one. 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:37.800 You know, you mentioned Green Bay. But Week one is 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.760 always like an anomaly in the NFL until you settle 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:44.120 that pattern. Now week five, we've got a bit of 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.360 a plan. Now we can see how teams have evolved, 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.040 and certainly the Lions felt like they picked up where 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.040 they left up. They don't seem as sharp as they 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.840 did last year, but again it's still relatively early in 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:54.280 the season. 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.400 They scored fifty two in week two against the Bears. 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:58.880 They certainly certainly. 0:08:58.520 --> 0:08:59.559 Looked sharp there. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.040 And they scored thirty four last week against the Browns. 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.160 And we know how good the Browns defense is. 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:05.600 Now. 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.839 I will say in that game against Cleveland Denver, I'm 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.960 sorry Detroit had a punt return touchdown. They had a 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:15.160 lot of short fields because the Browns offense was so bad, 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.880 so that contributed to scoring thirty four. But still thirty 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.760 four against the Browns defense, to me, is like forty 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.000 five against anybody else. 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.560 Voice of All Sports in Cincinnati, Dan Hord on the 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:30.640 show on seven hundred WLW turnovers and penalties and consecutive games. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:32.840 Now two weeks it was turnovers this lest we it 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:36.239 was penalty after penalty. I mean, it was so frustrating, 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.480 and I'm sure you and Lapp had to be frustrated 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.839 to be unbelief Clonbeck game, going another flag on the 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.440 field and it's going to go against let me guess, 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.120 the Bengals. It felt like at one point it was 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:49.320 just raining yellow on the field in Denver. And the 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.360 cry from the coaching staff is no more self inflicted errors. 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.079 But now we've had a pattern of self inflicted errors, 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.600 and it makes a fan wonder, Dan Horde, what's it 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.200 going to be this week? What's the problem there. It's 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.000 just the fact that you're you're getting blown out that 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.520 guys are not you know, they're not they're not handling 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.560 their business individually. Is that what it is? Is it 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:08.040 that simple? 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.640 Well, it's two completely different issues in those two games. 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.320 So the turnovers to me, those are physical errors and 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:20.000 then in the Denver game penalties those are mental errors. 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.200 So it's two different things. You got to get rid 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:26.280 of them this week. You know, Snowballs is the point, 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.319 no doubt. I mean, when a game gets lopsided, all 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.360 of its snowballs, it's the giant snowball rolling down the 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.560 hill getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And that's what 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.560 happens in the lopsided games. Uh So they've got to 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.319 try to you know, let's let's make it a one 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.280 score game going to the fourth quarter and see if 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:47.160 you can pull it out at home. In last week's game, 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.400 I thought they played great in the first quarter, scored 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.760 on their opening drive, held Denver to a three and out. 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.959 First time they're on defense. It was seven to three 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:01.559 Denver early in the second quarter, they complete that long 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.360 pass to Tee down to the fourteen yard line, so 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.520 it looks like it's going to be you know, maybe 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.319 ten seven Cincinnati at worst seven to six. 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:12.120 Denver. 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.320 And then that long pass got wiped out by a penalty. 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.120 All right, that happens. You know, it sucks, but it's 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.040 no big deal. And then before they snapped the ball again, 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:25.560 another penalty, and then after I think one play, another penalty. 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.280 They had four penalties in a two minute span, and 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:32.480 to me, that really killed them in that game. And 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.920 it's easy to say, well, it shouldn't it's early second quarter, 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.480 but it did. And they have to avoid, you know, 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.720 like you said, the snowball getting bigger and bigger when 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.079 something bad goes against them. 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:46.959 And you know, we saw that to some degree with 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:50.040 Jake Browning and how many times and maybe you didn't 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.440 see it, but I'm sure after watching, you know, watching 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.280 the tape, he saw the cuts of the sideline. But 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.640 the night football and here's Jimar Chase rolling is I mean, 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:58.440 how many times was he open? I mean dead open? 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.560 That score can bet a lot different, especially early on, 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.040 but Jake Browning just simply couldn't find him or couldn't 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.640 see him. And that's my fears. You start to lose, 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.000 you know, the guys go, well, what are we doing 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.080 out here? I've got no chance whatsoever, and maybe start 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.560 to not play as hard and now you have a 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.720 detrimental you have that effect going on. And that's that's my 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.319 biggest fear, going back to the quarterback if if a 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.320 change is not made. But you know, okay, great, you 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.400 get Russell Wilson or Jamis Winston. Is that really going 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.199 to change much other than maybe the narrative for a 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.199 week or two other side of the ball. And when 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.240 you start losing as badly as the Bengals have been, 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.440 you start, you know, people start pointing the finger. Okay, 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.760 well what about on defense? What about Christian Wilkins. Now 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.920 there's a name that's come up to what if you 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.120 start listening to folks climbing for somebody like Christian Wilkins. 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.920 There's a reason that even the Raiders let him go. 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.000 You don't want that guy in our locker. 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:47.280 Room, do you. 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.040 I don't know. I mean, he was a great talent, 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.760 but like you said, he's getting He got a huge 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.920 contract from the Raiders and they don't want him so 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.480 that says a lot make me too excited to make 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.600 that pick up. Yeah, you know, if I'm a Bengals fan, 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.640 I get the frustration, but I wouldn't be pining. I 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.480 wouldn't be pining for any of the veteran names that 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:15.200 you mentioned, whether it's quarterback, whether it's defensive line. That's 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.920 not the issue. The issue is getting these top one 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.079 hundred draft picks that they have selected in the last 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.960 four years to either play better and realize that they 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.680 are part of your future or come to the conclusion 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.520 they're not going to cut it and we will have 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:35.160 to make significant changes at those spots next year. So 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.719 I hate to you know, already be looking ahead to 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.280 next year's draft. I don't think we're there yet, but 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.320 I do think it's very important to know exactly what 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:47.320 you've got with the nine top one hundred draft picks 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.520 that they've selected on defense in the last four years. 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.240 So it is time to put up and shut up, 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.480 or put up or shut up if you are you know, 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:59.120 name one, Cam Taylor, Brick, Miles Murphy, whatever, these guys 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.520 that were select to be a big part of their future, 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.880 particularly on defense. With the money that you're spending on offense. 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.080 That's what they've got to find out right now. 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.640 Well, CTB was atrocious last week, and you know, I'll 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.160 just say he's got to have a bounce back. I 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.040 don't know how he doesn't have a bounce back game. 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.239 Yeah, I mean, he was only in for five snaps 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.680 and two of them featured him whipping trying to tackle 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.840 Courtland Sutton. So he's going to get his chance to 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:27.720 bounce back this week, There's no doubt about it, and 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.760 I hope he does. He was bad in week one, yep, 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.920 good in week two. I thought he played well against Jacksonville. 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.440 Injured in week three and I don't know how much 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:41.080 that injury affected him in week four, but again five 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.120 snaps and pulled out of the game after two really 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.400 bad ones. He was battling a hamstring injury. He was 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.120 apparently sick one day last week. So I'll cut him 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.440 a little bit of slack. But he's got to bounce 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:52.920 back and have a good game this week. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:53.080 You know. 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.240 Outside you mentioned injuries outside of a Burrow obviously and 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.200 Shamar Stewart, who would like to see more of because 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.280 that's a very small sample size. Bell the Bengals are 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.280 relatively injury free at this point. Just look at the 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:09.320 eye report. Noah fan Charlie Jones showed up on what yesterday, 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.360 I don't know about I don't know about yesterday's report, 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.080 but Wednesday anyway, and I don't know if that's good 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:15.440 or bad. Dan. I mean, if you looked at it, 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.400 kind of like we we talked about Iowa stayed and 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.360 now banged up they are, It's like, hey, you got 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.320 excuses if you lose. If everyone outside QB one is 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.080 relatively healthy, you don't have any excuses there. What's the 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.000 injury report going into this weekend? 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:33.200 Look like Shamar Stewart won't play unfortunately, so that'll be 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.320 three games in a row for him, and that hurts 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.440 because he was playing well before he hurt his angle. 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.000 I think Noah Fant is back. He had a concussion 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.440 that caused him to miss the previous game, but he's 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:47.400 been trending up this week. Charlie Jones seems unlikely. He 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.760 hurt his hams during He didn't care it, but he 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.320 heard it in the game on Monday night in Denver. 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.160 So I think they'll be missing a couple of guys. 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.320 But as you mentioned, you know four weeks into an 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:01.680 NFL season, All things considered, they're doing pretty well injury wise. 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:06.200 As for the Lions, their best cornerback DJ Reid went 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.440 on injured reserve this week. He heard his hamstring last 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:13.680 week in Cleveland, so he's out. Their other outside corner, 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.640 Terry and Arnold, is dealing with a shoulder issue, so 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.960 I think he's likely to play, but he might be 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.280 less than one hundred percent. He hasn't been playing very 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:26.000 well anyway, so they do have a weakness at cornerback, 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.680 and you know, hopefully if Jake Browning has time, they'll 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:31.880 be able to take advantage of it. With Jamar and 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.320 t that's where you got to try to attack Detroit, 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.200 and with their cornerbacks injured, maybe they can. 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:40.520 I don't know. But the problem is Jake Browning throwing 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:44.320 the ball more than ten or fifteen yards. Sure he will. 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.720 He was throwing a downfield early in that game against Denver. 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.960 They were trying to attack Riley Moss, the same guy 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.440 that they had so much success attacking last year when 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.040 the Broncos came to pay Course Stadium. So he'll throw 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:01.160 it downfield, but again it begins with protection. I'm more 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.919 concerned about Jake Browning dropping back, hitting his third step 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.280 or fifth step and not having somebody in his face 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.760 than I am about Jake throwing the ball. 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:16.600 It is going to be. I'm not looking forward tomorrow's 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:20.000 matchup with the Bearcats. Dan Horde, voice of the Bengals, 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.600 voice of the Bearcats, jumps on the show every Friday 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.720 morning to chop it up. But I'm my fingers are crossed. Maybe, 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:27.480 just maybe, I don't know if the line's coming and 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.080 lay An Egg. I don't know what to think at 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.560 this point, Dan, I really really don't Other than God, 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.080 we need some help. Danny, thanks for coming on this morning. 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:38.800 All the best, lonely, one thing, one thing before you 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:42.800 let me go. Yes, Green Bay lost to Cleveland two 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:47.200 weeks ago. It's the NFL. It's a week to week league. 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.840 So no matter how bleak it seems, on any given Friday, 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:55.880 when we discuss the upcoming game, we might be celebrating 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.840 and talking about a joyous Bengles victory next week. 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.400 At least we have long term hope. You know, at 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.560 some point, Burrow, it may be late this season, maybe 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.440 next year we'll come back. Cleveland has they're completely out 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:10.000 of options. Twenty five quarterbacks since what nineteen ninety nine, 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:14.119 and you've got Sugar Sanders doing I don't know, press 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:16.320 talking to the press and not saying any words, like 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:20.840 literally miming words and not saying anything. And we're into 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.280 another quarterback there, so it could be worse. 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:27.920 Right, Dylan Gabriel makes his starting debut this week in London. 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:29.520 We'll see how he does. 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:34.200 All the best, Buddy very well, nois Man Dan Horde 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:36.239 voice of the Bengals, she'll hear the game here and 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.080 of course Bearcat Football tomorrow on the Home of the Cats. 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.800 One of the best Bengals coverage. God help us. Seven 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:47.960 hundred WW since Scott Flung Show Friday morning. This is 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:51.040 seven hundred WW. Normally we're coming, you know, a little 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.639 lighter the entire Friday morning because hell, it's Friday and 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:56.480 you're tired. I'm not really that tired because it's started 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.760 to working to get back to work yesterday. But is 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:03.000 a another evidence of the tragedies and since we just 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.399 had another two people shot last night in Cincinnati. If 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:08.119 you go back a couple of weeks, the sixteen year 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:11.080 old was shots in over the Rhine by an eighth 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:13.360 you know, by the name of a Devon Markham, and 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:15.960 he has since been arrested in connection to that deadly 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.520 shooting of the sixteen year old. He's at the Justice 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.960 Center on a million dollar bond. And now we have 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.320 a backstory that is reminiscent of Patrick Herringer and everything else. 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.919 Brian Combs is reporting this and broke it an X 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:31.679 and Johnson. Now Combs not, by the way, not the 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:36.440 Comb's facing eleven years. The other Combs, the Ryan Combs 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:37.359 from the newsroom. 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:41.000 Brian, good morning, Hi, Cincinnati police have set all summer. 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:44.879 They've been getting violent criminals off the streets, only to 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:48.040 watch them be released by Hamilton County judges. And this 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:52.919 is a textbook case looking at the court records. Devon 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:57.480 Markham's eighteen apparently had been convicted as a juvenile in 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:02.200 Butler County of felonious assault. Cops caught him in April 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:05.640 with a loaded firearm. In fact, they were chasing him 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.320 when the gun fell out. Lucky, he said it didn't 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:11.240 go off and wound the police officers who were in pursuit. 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:16.240 But Markham had the loaded gun. Ended up in court 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:20.800 in July, plea bargain was worked out. He was convicted 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:23.920 of having a weapon under disability, which basically means that 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:26.240 the judge or a court told him he couldn't have one, 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:27.199 and he had one anyway. 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:27.480 Sure. 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:31.119 The penalty for that in Ohio is three years a 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.760 third degree felony, but instead of sending him to prison, 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:38.119 the judge in Hamilton County who handled the case decided 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:39.720 to put him on probation for two years. 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:43.760 So at the time that TJ. 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:49.000 Bell was killed over the Rhine by Grant Park two 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:55.560 weeks ago, Markham was on probation, but in violation of 0:20:55.600 --> 0:21:02.000 his probation. More research has shown that he never went 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:05.439 to see a probation officer, was supposed to enroll in 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:10.119 behavior modification classes, didn't do that. The judge in this case, 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:12.240 ally hath the Way, had told him to find a job. 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.520 Didn't do that either, So all the conditions of his 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:19.639 parole were being violated. We don't know if anybody was 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:22.480 trying to find him. He hadn't been violated on the 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:26.840 charge till after this murder. So now they've checked several 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:30.840 boxes saying, you know the reasons why he's violated his probation. 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:34.399 He'll face the full three years on that, plus whatever 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:36.840 he might get on the merger degree. 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:39.359 It's Patrick Haringer and the like all over again, and 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:42.800 that you have someone who is already jammed up a gun, 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:45.480 someone who should not have a weapon simply because he's 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:49.960 prohibited from it, meaning that that's the whole point of 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.119 this thing is. And so instead of going, hey, you know, 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:53.960 we're going to sentence you, We're going to put you 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.840 on probation because I'm assuming it's the first gunspeck he's 0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:58.280 had gun violation. He said, well, he. 0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:00.960 Just turned eighteen, so he just I mean, just become 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:04.199 an adult. So many other cases we're all in, but 0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:08.879 you are allowed to consider the juvenile record at sentencing 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:11.000 for adult court. 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.280 And I don't know if the judge did. 0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:15.480 I don't know if this is standard that you know, 0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:18.680 the first defense for a weapon under disability is probation. 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:21.600 It's hard to search court records to see how other 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:25.840 cases similar and handled. I did you know use AI 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:29.399 to surgency if it's typical for somebody in Ohio to 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:34.600 go to prison on this, And they said yes, anywhere 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:39.320 from nine to thirty six months, depending on your past record, 0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:41.680 and if you were committing some other crime at the 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:44.119 same time. So we know he had a past record 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:47.960 and yet he still got probation. You know, police are 0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:51.359 so frustrated the overtime that they've been putting in this summer. 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:53.399 A couple of these cases like this we've had this 0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:58.159 summer were cases where that special Fugitive Task Force that 0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:01.800 was just set up to deal with violent crime in Cincinnati, 0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:04.240 that they had caught the guys that were later released. Now, 0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:07.200 I don't know if if that is the case here, 0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:09.720 I'm trying to find out, but I wouldn't be surprised 0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:12.399 at all if he was on their radar for something else. 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:15.400 And you know, the arrest in this murder was made 0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:18.480 pretty quickly, so I would think that they have a 0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:21.879 pretty good idea of who he was and what he 0:23:21.920 --> 0:23:23.520 was up there. You just broke this story and you've 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:25.960 got this all up on X right right Ax, Facebook, 0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:29.040 both of our pages have got it. I mean, I mean, 0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:31.439 to be honest, it doesn't take that much effort. You 0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:34.199 look at the court records and this stuff just jumps 0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:38.119 out at you, including the probation violation was just in 0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:38.880 court two days ago. 0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:41.600 All right, Brian colmbsaid great in the high bars. 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:45.320 Now, just everybody knows and the Hamilton Guy justice set 0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:46.240 are a million dollars bud. 0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:48.280 Yeah, but but it doesn't save the life of the 0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:51.040 sixteen year old who, by all accounts was just wrong place, 0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:51.679 wrong time, right. 0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:54.679 Yeah, I'm not sure they haven't really said the circumstances 0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:57.600 of that. We had two actually we said two teams 0:23:57.640 --> 0:23:59.480 all day. But it turns out one of the victims 0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:03.320 last night was twelve. The other one I think was fourteen, 0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:07.280 shot in the drive by exact same spot in Grant Park. 0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:14.440 You'll see today a bunch of police officers, community volunteers. 0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:17.840 This has been targeted as one of the worst spots 0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:21.080 in the city, and today there's a part of the 0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:25.280 ac Cincinnati Gun Violence Effort, a beautification project where all 0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:28.360 kinds of neighborhood volunteers are out along with the police, 0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:31.800 cleaning up graffiti, cleaning up trash, trying to restore a 0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:35.560 little pride in the neighborhood, which they hope would help 0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:36.399 control the violence. 0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:39.080 If these knuckleheads are running around scott free not being 0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:41.960 held accountable for their actions, Brian again, it's at action 0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:44.720 Twitter seven hundred W. I appreciate a good job on that, 0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:47.600 Thanks enterprising young reporter you're going to make some something 0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:49.600 of yourself. One of these days, it's going to get 0:24:49.600 --> 0:24:51.879 a burrow or some sort of peabody or something along 0:24:51.920 --> 0:24:54.480 those lines. How outrageous is that to hear that this morning, 0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:57.000 on a beautiful Friday morning, we're getting excited for the 0:24:57.000 --> 0:24:58.639 weekend being here at all, and you got to hear this, 0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:02.840 so shot dead and by all accounts, good kid, just 0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:05.960 wrong place, wrong time, wasn't jammed up in anything. As 0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:09.359 far as we know, eighteen year old Devin Markham is 0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:13.159 behind bars and a million dollar hold. And it turns 0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:15.959 out and it's just part and parcel for what's passing 0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:18.160 is justice in Hamlet County and specific to the city 0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:20.520 of Cincinnati. And then you have a judge going, well, 0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:22.560 you know what, I don't want to scar this kid 0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:25.879 for life. And granted, you know, kids, we all have 0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:28.800 done dumb stuff. I've known about you. I've never picked 0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:31.200 up a gun, never picked up a gun and aimed 0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:33.040 and pointed at someone and did it on the city 0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:35.679 street over some stupid beef. Never did that when I 0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:41.240 was a teenager. But Markham thought that was a good idea. 0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:44.480 And I'm guessing that the pattern of behavior just didn't 0:25:44.520 --> 0:25:46.040 begin and end with that gun. There was a bunch 0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:48.960 of things leading up to that. And you know, I'm sorry, 0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:52.880 either we take gun crimes seriously or we don't. Now 0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:54.840 all you hear about every time there's a mass shooting 0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:57.359 another shooting is like, you know, the right is going 0:25:57.359 --> 0:25:59.800 to offer thoughts and prayers, then the left is going 0:25:59.880 --> 0:26:03.639 to offer more legislation and more laws that really aren't 0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:05.880 going to do anything because we have you're not going 0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:07.520 to You're not going to stop the tide to gun. 0:26:07.600 --> 0:26:10.720 The thirst for guns in America is huge. You know, 0:26:10.800 --> 0:26:12.800 under the Second Amendment of the Constitution, we're allowed to 0:26:12.880 --> 0:26:16.719 We're allowed to carry guns. Okay. I think that there 0:26:16.800 --> 0:26:18.960 is a great responsibility for those of us who choose 0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:22.439 to exercise that's that Second Amendment right in that to 0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:24.840 make sure the gun's locked up. I'm a big proponent 0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:28.840 of passing legislation and holding people accountable for who feel that, Hey, 0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:30.399 you know what, I'm going to bring a gun with me, 0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:32.080 but in the area is where I can't carry, I'm 0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:34.080 just gonna throw it under the seat of my car 0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:36.320 or leave it in a console or in a lot. 0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:38.440 And that's why cars are getting broken into I think 0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:41.280 that there's got to be uh And I hate to 0:26:41.280 --> 0:26:43.480 put more laws on those law abiding people like me 0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:45.560 and you, but damn it. If you're going to carry 0:26:45.560 --> 0:26:47.280 a gun and there's a lot of areas where you 0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:49.040 can't bring the gun with you, you got to do 0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:51.840 better than just simply leave it under the seat, because 0:26:51.880 --> 0:26:53.720 so many young people are breaking in the cars and 0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:55.960 stealing our guns. The guns are expensive, and I think 0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:58.159 about it. You park downtown a lot of areas, you're 0:26:58.160 --> 0:26:59.959 gonna have your windows smash. And they're not looking for 0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:02.560 change or remember the old days, they get some changes, 0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:06.160 steal your stereo. No one's stealing stereos out radios out 0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:09.080 of cars anymore, but they are. They're looking for guns. 0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:12.159 They're looking for weapons, and maybe laptops another step, but 0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:14.760 larger guns and a lot of the guns that are 0:27:14.800 --> 0:27:18.000 falling in these hands are coming from those sources. And 0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:20.359 that's on me and you as law abiding gun owners, 0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:22.919 to make sure that we've got that thing secure, like 0:27:23.000 --> 0:27:26.359 locked in a box that's bolted to the frame or 0:27:26.440 --> 0:27:28.800 chained to the seat, something along the lines. And now 0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:30.480 is that gonna you know, if someone really wants to 0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:32.679 take it, they bolt cutters or something, or a torch. 0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:36.119 Not too many criminals or torches, but it's moreble opportunities 0:27:36.160 --> 0:27:37.879 smash look around, I find a gun. Good, I got 0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:39.240 a gun, and then what do they do? They go 0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:42.680 run around and commit crimes. It's not on it. You're going, well, 0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:44.920 what do we need more laws against good people? Well, 0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:48.040 if if I carry and I take my weapon with me, 0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:50.399 I've got a safe in my car or my truck, 0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:52.840 and I make sure it's locked up, that's the best 0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:54.640 I can do. It doesn't mean that someone still can't 0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:56.720 steal it and smash the safe and everything else, but 0:27:57.200 --> 0:27:58.960 I at least didn't leave it under a seat that 0:27:59.000 --> 0:28:01.399 could lead to a tragedy like this. I did everything 0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:04.879 I possibly could. On the other hand, I think the 0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:08.440 bigger onus, though, is on the judicious the justice systems, 0:28:08.480 --> 0:28:11.080 particular in Hamlin County. It makes no sense to me 0:28:11.119 --> 0:28:13.040 that you have all these laws that restrict the rights 0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:16.680 of law abiding gun owners and then to turn around 0:28:16.680 --> 0:28:19.480 and simply when someone is caught under disability, meaning they're 0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:20.960 not allowed to have a weapon, be it a someone 0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:23.520 with a convicted felon or someone who's underage, and they're 0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:25.359 caught with a gun, to simply leave them with a 0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:27.400 slap on the wrist, to simply go, okay, well you're 0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:29.800 not one probation all right, all right, maybe this is 0:28:29.800 --> 0:28:33.280 his first defense. Let's play that game that Devin Markham, 0:28:33.359 --> 0:28:36.600 Devon Markham, this was his first defense. Probably not because 0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:38.520 he had a juvenile record, which a judge you'd look at, 0:28:38.520 --> 0:28:40.440 but the same thing I look at. Okay, great, So 0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:42.000 all you have to here's what you need to do. 0:28:42.040 --> 0:28:44.520 You need to report to your probation office. You need 0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:47.080 to get a job. You're eighteen years old, get a job, 0:28:47.160 --> 0:28:49.520 find a job. Okay. Great. Didn't do any of it. 0:28:51.560 --> 0:28:55.800 I mean literally was lying to the judge when she 0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:59.080 was telling him what the terms of his probation would be. Yes, yes, 0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:01.680 I'll do that, your honor. You know, when you don't 0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:03.120 have a job or you're not looking for each other 0:29:03.240 --> 0:29:05.120 and there's no one following up on this stuff, and 0:29:05.160 --> 0:29:08.520 that's the problem. It's it's like the ankle monitors, right, 0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:10.760 you cut off your ankle monitor. Okay, we'll put a 0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:14.000 we'll put a warrant out for your arrest. Well I'm sorry, 0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:15.600 but if you're gonna do that, if you're gonna thumb 0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:17.600 the nose pay cutting off an ankle monitor said this 0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:20.360 plumb blue in the face cut off an ankle monitor. 0:29:21.640 --> 0:29:23.440 I'm sorry, it should be in all points, but you 0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:26.920 should be looking, actively searching for that individual. Like literally 0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:29.760 have teams available and I know the police fighter we 0:29:29.880 --> 0:29:31.360 just I mean, we just what another four and a 0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:33.320 half million for police, So there's got to be a 0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:35.440 test for us available at the ready, kind of like 0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:38.200 swaddle most Hey, somebody cut their ankle monitor off, We're 0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:40.560 gonna come find you right now. It's a priority because 0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:43.760 you're gonna do bad stuff. And I would say to 0:29:44.320 --> 0:29:47.280 to the same degree, if you violate those terms of probation, 0:29:47.840 --> 0:29:49.840 it should be at that point one striking your out. 0:29:50.320 --> 0:29:53.440 It shouldn't be well, you know, someday we'll probably commit 0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:56.920 a crime and hopefully it won't be murder and we'll 0:29:56.920 --> 0:29:58.520 pick them up at a later date. Well, guess what, 0:29:58.560 --> 0:30:03.440 it's murder now. And because of our laxadaisical attitude for 0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:06.040 those who wind up getting the bench in Hamlin County 0:30:06.240 --> 0:30:08.600 and in Cincinnati. This is just part in parcel Wiscon. 0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:11.960 It's Patrick Herringer. It's happened several times since then. And 0:30:12.040 --> 0:30:15.440 when does the insanity end. He was arrested in May 0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:19.520 on charges of having a weaponarner disability, sentenced to community 0:30:19.520 --> 0:30:23.320 control in July, and now in September, a sixteen year 0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:26.760 old boy is dead. All because we just simply trust 0:30:26.800 --> 0:30:30.840 the criminals and take their word for it. I understand 0:30:30.840 --> 0:30:33.480 that the dockets are filled with people. The judges are very, 0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:36.240 very busy. They're overworked. Everyone's overworked these days. I get that. 0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:39.000 I appreciate that. But if we're going to spend all 0:30:39.040 --> 0:30:41.000 this money in law enforcement, I think a lot of 0:30:41.000 --> 0:30:43.880 this money needs to debid. A greater portion of money 0:30:43.880 --> 0:30:45.880 needs to be spent on making sure the defenders like 0:30:45.920 --> 0:30:50.960 this as soon as they reviolate, they get swept up. 0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:53.479 That is really the only way to stop, because how 0:30:53.480 --> 0:30:55.600 many of these violent crimes occur a someone who shouldn't 0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:57.200 have had the gun in the first place, who shouldn't 0:30:57.200 --> 0:30:59.960 have been on parole, who should have been behind bars, 0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:02.479 who violated their probation, who cut off the ankle monitor. 0:31:02.520 --> 0:31:05.520 It's just a steady drum beat now of violence, and 0:31:05.560 --> 0:31:07.160 then weeks later we found out, well, this is someone 0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:08.680 who shitting been on the street in the first place. 0:31:10.720 --> 0:31:12.720 I mean, how many more chances do you give an individual, 0:31:12.760 --> 0:31:15.239 I would say, you know, I'm all for trying to 0:31:15.280 --> 0:31:17.840 reform someone someone turned their life around, whatever it might be. 0:31:18.160 --> 0:31:20.880 And there's not a lot, but there's playing of stories 0:31:20.880 --> 0:31:22.920 of people who go to prison and get the fear 0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:24.280 of God. Put them because they want to live their 0:31:24.280 --> 0:31:26.120 life behind bars and live that way like an animal 0:31:26.160 --> 0:31:27.680 the rest of their lives and go, you know what, 0:31:27.760 --> 0:31:33.600 I'm done with this, okay, And that's awesome. Not everyone, 0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:37.520 not probably not most people, because recidivism rates are pretty 0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:40.760 high in America, but it's a lot of people. If 0:31:40.800 --> 0:31:42.160 you're younger, I don't want to give up any I 0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:44.360 want to give you, certainly a second chance. But you 0:31:44.440 --> 0:31:47.040 got to play the game. You got to engage if 0:31:47.080 --> 0:31:49.040 you right from the jump go yeah, I'm not showing 0:31:49.080 --> 0:31:51.320 up to team with a probation officer. Yeah, I'm not 0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:54.160 going to find a job that tells me you're not serious, 0:31:54.480 --> 0:31:57.640 serious about turning your life around. And you can make 0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:00.480 an excuse, go, well, you know what kind of job 0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:03.480 am I going to find, especially in this economy right now? Fair? 0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:06.479 But you know, for those of us who've ever been 0:32:06.520 --> 0:32:10.840 on unemployment, you have to prove on a fairly regular 0:32:10.880 --> 0:32:13.480 basis to the State of Ohio. If you're if you're 0:32:13.520 --> 0:32:16.160 drawing funds from them, you have to prove to them 0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:21.240 that you're actively searching for a job. Okay, And that's 0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:24.080 just someone who's lost their job through I don't know, 0:32:24.120 --> 0:32:27.400 reduction and force, maybe the boss, maybe you know reasons 0:32:27.400 --> 0:32:29.880 what it. But largely people who get laid off furloughed, 0:32:29.880 --> 0:32:32.160 as the case may be, they didn't do anything wrong. 0:32:32.280 --> 0:32:35.120 It's just it's a numbers game, and those people are 0:32:35.160 --> 0:32:38.000 held to a higher level of accountability than people who 0:32:38.120 --> 0:32:41.520 vitolated the law in this case, In this case Devon Markham, 0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:44.520 who didn't even bother looking for a job. Like, wait 0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:46.680 a minute, a State of Ohio employment benefits that I 0:32:46.680 --> 0:32:48.560 pay into by the way that my employer pays and 0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:50.120 so I go to claim those benefits, I got to 0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:51.760 prove to you on a regular basis that I'm looking 0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:55.000 for a job. This guy is foeling the law of 0:32:54.760 --> 0:33:00.600 the gun laws as a juvenile, and we hold abiding, 0:33:00.720 --> 0:33:03.520 hard working people who get fired, who get reduced to 0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:06.160 get laid off to a higher standard than the street criminal. 0:33:06.320 --> 0:33:10.040 Doesn't make any damn sense, does it, But welcome to Cincinnati. 0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:13.440 That's how we roll here. That's exactly how we roll. 0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:15.120 I've got to get a break, and we got news 0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:17.920 on the way in just a few minutes. Staria. Somewhere 0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:19.840 around ten o'clock or a little bit there after. It 0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:24.600 is the sentencing of not Brian Colms, but Sean did 0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:27.320 He Colms. He's looking at a maximum I think about 0:33:27.320 --> 0:33:30.720 eleven years and has finally said, hey, listen, I screwed up. 0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:32.680 I made a mistake. Give me a break. Maybe a 0:33:32.720 --> 0:33:34.240 little late for that. Now we'll see how the court 0:33:34.240 --> 0:33:36.640 treats him. We've got that going on, probably the only 0:33:36.680 --> 0:33:39.160 big serious topic. The other element going on today is 0:33:39.600 --> 0:33:43.520 Bengals football, which is also a tragedy too because the 0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:46.000 Bengals have the Detroit Lions coming to town. The most 0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:49.320 lopsided odds in the entirety of the NFL this week 0:33:49.600 --> 0:33:52.400 are right here in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Bengals are ten 0:33:52.440 --> 0:33:56.280 point underdogs to the Detroit Lions. Lions come in roll 0:33:56.320 --> 0:33:57.920 and they won. I think they lost their first game, 0:33:57.960 --> 0:34:01.240 and then they have been rolling teams and looking very 0:34:01.280 --> 0:34:05.000 formidable as the Lions of last season. And that first 0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:07.080 week is always an anomaly in the NFL, just the 0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:10.280 way it is. But three straight wins of the Detroit Lions. 0:34:10.640 --> 0:34:13.080 So Dan Campbell and his crew, Jared Goff coming to 0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:15.799 town and the Bengals extremely vulnerable right now. I know 0:34:15.840 --> 0:34:18.640 there are people screaming and clamoring to bring Russell Wilson 0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:23.200 in here. What about James Wilson, Jameis Winston, what about 0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:26.640 Kirk Cousins. Now, the Bengals are very reluctant, first of all, 0:34:26.719 --> 0:34:29.720 to trade any draft capital for Kirk Cousins or Jameis 0:34:29.719 --> 0:34:31.640 Winston because you're gonna have to give up some draft 0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:35.600 capital for that. Probably not likely. Also, I don't know. 0:34:35.640 --> 0:34:38.440 I watch a couple of games, a couple of games 0:34:38.440 --> 0:34:40.799 with Russ Wilson, who you know, ten years ago, This 0:34:40.840 --> 0:34:43.280 is not the ten years ago Russ Wilson. Russ Wilson's 0:34:43.320 --> 0:34:49.160 terrible right now. Will you lose to the Detroit Lions 0:34:49.200 --> 0:34:51.399 with Russell Wilson as your quarterback? Yes, you may lose 0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:54.960 by a narrower margin than you would with Jake brown 0:34:55.040 --> 0:34:57.359 because Jake Browning is the other side of terrible right now, 0:34:57.560 --> 0:34:59.200 and I don't know how he's going to get better 0:34:59.200 --> 0:35:01.040 in a week, especially against the team that's coming to 0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:03.640 the town this weekend. But is it just a difference 0:35:03.680 --> 0:35:06.719 between losing by not a why to margin is why 0:35:06.719 --> 0:35:08.360 you would go get a Russell Wilson That that's what 0:35:08.360 --> 0:35:10.280 it seems like to me, especially with the teams Bengals 0:35:10.280 --> 0:35:12.040 are going to face the next few weeks. So he 0:35:12.120 --> 0:35:14.680 minds we just keep this guy and write this season 0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:16.960 off yet again and Bengal fandom. The good news is well, 0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:18.520 at least we're not Cleveland. If you're looking for a 0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:21.759 silver line in Cleveland has no quarterback future at this 0:35:21.840 --> 0:35:26.239 point unless it's Sharter Sanders, which doesn't look likely because 0:35:26.239 --> 0:35:28.959 he's already playing to get the hell out of Cleveland. Uh, 0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:30.800 just because he's doing the locker room with the media. 0:35:31.520 --> 0:35:33.960 At least there's Joe Burrow may come back this season, 0:35:34.320 --> 0:35:37.319 h probably next season for sure. It'll see it goes. 0:35:37.360 --> 0:35:40.200 But it ain't going to be a good It ain't 0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:42.760 gonna be a good weekend in Cincinnati. If you believe 0:35:42.760 --> 0:35:44.320 the odds makers, and I kind of do. There's a 0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:47.279 reason why they do what they do because usually they're 0:35:47.320 --> 0:35:48.000 right anyway. 0:35:48.360 --> 0:35:48.440 Uh. 0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:50.720 Austin Elmore later on this at ten thirty five Scott 0:35:50.760 --> 0:35:53.680 Sloan Show, seven hundred WWT Cincinnati. 0:35:53.719 --> 0:35:54.040 Want to. 0:35:56.960 --> 0:36:01.800 Yes yes is the most dangerous word the dictionary because 0:36:01.840 --> 0:36:05.200 it could lead to your own demise. Billio Vincent Gambudo 0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:08.360 is here. Please don't subscribe. He is a master saying 0:36:08.440 --> 0:36:11.000 no with something that most people are bad at. Welcome 0:36:11.000 --> 0:36:11.680 to the show. Are you? 0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:15.160 Thanks so much? Thanks for having me. I'm good I 0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:16.920 said yes to this, bapply. 0:36:17.600 --> 0:36:19.359 Yeah, why are you saying yes to me? That would 0:36:19.360 --> 0:36:20.759 be the ultimate. It's like, hey, you want to get 0:36:20.800 --> 0:36:23.879 on and talk about you know, unsubscribed. No, I'm good, 0:36:24.040 --> 0:36:26.680 I've got too much, got too much going on, kind 0:36:26.680 --> 0:36:29.640 of self defeeding. You pick the important stuff, and I 0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:31.880 think that's true though we all have to. Man, I 0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:34.400 guess I need to do this in order to fulfill 0:36:34.440 --> 0:36:36.040 some sort of goal that I have, which would be 0:36:36.040 --> 0:36:38.799 to sell books. I appreciate that. I appreciate taking time. 0:36:38.800 --> 0:36:41.319 I've come on, But so yeah, why say? Where do 0:36:41.320 --> 0:36:42.960 you draw a line of things? How do you how 0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:46.440 do you determine what's in and what's out? In some days? 0:36:46.520 --> 0:36:48.920 I think for most of us, it depends on how 0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:50.520 we feel at that exact moment in time. Do you 0:36:50.560 --> 0:36:52.080 catch me the right time? I might say, yes, you 0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:53.880 catch me the wrong time. I'm probably gonna say. 0:36:53.680 --> 0:36:57.280 No, yeah, and you know what, either way is okay. 0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:01.480 The kind of first, the first important part of saying 0:37:01.520 --> 0:37:05.399 no right is understanding that it's okay and we've all 0:37:05.440 --> 0:37:10.400 been really, really conditioned and souls are really sexy story 0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:13.480 you know, in America in the last twenty years, that 0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:16.600 we've got to say yes right, say you know, Carpa 0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:20.239 diam say yes to the dress right like you know, 0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:23.880 yes is the answer to everything we've always wanted. And 0:37:23.920 --> 0:37:26.239 I think we live in a different time now right 0:37:26.320 --> 0:37:32.280 where your we're constantly bombarded left, right and center with messages, 0:37:32.360 --> 0:37:37.040 with information, with things to process, not only just commitments 0:37:37.160 --> 0:37:41.319 and requests, but just you know, life is overwhelming, and 0:37:41.440 --> 0:37:46.200 so learning how to be savvy about saying no really 0:37:46.239 --> 0:37:49.360 really really is important. But the first step really is 0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:53.120 to understand that you can say it right without without 0:37:53.239 --> 0:37:58.279 without sort of losing losing at all, which is I 0:37:58.280 --> 0:37:59.160 think the fear that we. 0:37:59.200 --> 0:38:02.400 Have yeah, and the message bombarding it doesn't begin and 0:38:02.480 --> 0:38:05.000 end with it, but it's the mobile device, it's a text, 0:38:05.200 --> 0:38:08.399 it's something on social media, it's a direct message, it's 0:38:08.440 --> 0:38:11.880 an email, it's a call, it's we are bombarded NonStop 0:38:11.880 --> 0:38:15.720 with esks. That largely is the I think the tipping 0:38:15.760 --> 0:38:18.160 point for this conversation isn't it is If we got 0:38:18.239 --> 0:38:20.800 rid of our mobile device and just didn't respond, we'd 0:38:20.800 --> 0:38:21.960 be in much better headspace. 0:38:23.160 --> 0:38:25.480 Yeah, I think it's really important, you know. I mean 0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:29.239 these times, this technology it calls for us to be 0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:34.680 you know, really really specific and intentional about how we 0:38:34.840 --> 0:38:37.880 use these devices. I mean, you know, the companies that 0:38:38.080 --> 0:38:40.920 sell them, they want us to use it in a 0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:43.680 certain way, and we've got to sort of wake up 0:38:43.719 --> 0:38:47.560 to the fact that that way is not serving us well. Right, 0:38:47.680 --> 0:38:51.520 Being connected twenty four hours a day, being always on, 0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:55.799 being accessible, having no boundaries, right, these things are not 0:38:55.960 --> 0:39:01.040 serving us. There's not helping life be better, richer, deeper, 0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:05.160 more satisfying. And so, you know, from a very very 0:39:07.120 --> 0:39:10.880 surface level logistically, right, we've got to make decisions about 0:39:10.880 --> 0:39:14.000 how we use these devices. My laptop is for this, 0:39:14.400 --> 0:39:16.880 my phone is for that. I'm going to set some 0:39:17.000 --> 0:39:18.800 rules and parameters for myself. 0:39:19.280 --> 0:39:19.360 Uh. 0:39:19.560 --> 0:39:21.480 You know, those are the things that have been eroded, 0:39:21.600 --> 0:39:24.080 and they've been eroded on purpose, right, so that we 0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:29.800 just feel constantly connected and on uh and uh and 0:39:29.800 --> 0:39:32.920 and it's really kind of time in the in the 0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:36.840 large scale or in a large viewed here. Uh, to 0:39:36.880 --> 0:39:39.680 just get some some clearer and cleaner boundaries. 0:39:39.960 --> 0:39:42.600 Yeah, well, let's talk about taking back our time. How 0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:44.480 do we set those boundaries? And it's easier said than done. 0:39:45.040 --> 0:39:47.719 And I think in particular, and and I'm generalizing here, 0:39:47.760 --> 0:39:50.759 of course, maybe stereotyping, but it seems like women have 0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:52.880 much more difficulty men and saying no. They want to 0:39:52.920 --> 0:39:54.719 try to be everything to everybody. They don't want to 0:39:54.719 --> 0:39:59.160 disappoint you know, kids and husbands, spouses, or certainly their 0:39:59.200 --> 0:40:01.400 girlfriends and people at work, and so they try to 0:40:01.440 --> 0:40:04.600 do everything all the time. And there's plenty of guys 0:40:04.600 --> 0:40:05.759 that do that. Don't get me wrong, A lot of 0:40:05.880 --> 0:40:08.080 us do that. But generally you look at this and go, wow, 0:40:08.120 --> 0:40:09.759 that's that hits women on the head. And I think 0:40:09.840 --> 0:40:12.640 that is why women feel so compromise these days. But 0:40:12.920 --> 0:40:14.840 all right, so, how do I begin by saying no? 0:40:14.920 --> 0:40:17.360 How do you train someone to say no who's programmed 0:40:17.400 --> 0:40:17.879 to say yes? 0:40:19.440 --> 0:40:21.759 Yeah? I mean, you know, it is the question of 0:40:21.800 --> 0:40:25.960 our time. I think that that all starts. It all 0:40:26.000 --> 0:40:29.200 starts on the surface, right, I think, and I like 0:40:29.280 --> 0:40:31.440 to look at all of this through the through the 0:40:31.520 --> 0:40:34.919 lens of a sort of three places that we can 0:40:35.000 --> 0:40:40.000 look at and target in our lives. One being the surface, right, 0:40:40.320 --> 0:40:43.319 all the screens, everything that we're touching all day long, 0:40:43.360 --> 0:40:49.120 our digital life. Second being our social networks, both on 0:40:49.520 --> 0:40:53.000 and off right, sort of learning to speak to them 0:40:53.320 --> 0:40:57.400 and defy some of the narratives that we have and 0:40:57.440 --> 0:41:02.000 that we share that somehow know succept is being busy 0:41:02.200 --> 0:41:05.520 constantly and that you know, we we we sort of 0:41:05.600 --> 0:41:09.000 parent these beliefs around to one another all day long, right, 0:41:10.200 --> 0:41:12.200 and kind of learning to say, you know what, I 0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:14.719 don't believe that, I don't think that's true. I think 0:41:14.760 --> 0:41:16.680 I have to sort of create a different space for 0:41:16.760 --> 0:41:19.920 myself and for my family. And then that sort of 0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:22.160 third level, which I talk about in my book, really 0:41:22.239 --> 0:41:25.600 is sort of these underlying subscriptions. What does that mean? 0:41:25.640 --> 0:41:27.640 It just sort of means, like the beliefs that we 0:41:27.760 --> 0:41:31.719 hold really really pearly, you know, about our identity and 0:41:31.760 --> 0:41:36.759 who we are. I you know, certainly before the pandemic, 0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:39.200 which was a really big turning point for me. I 0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:41.799 know we're all sick of talking about it, but but 0:41:42.000 --> 0:41:44.200 you know this, it was sort of the genesis of 0:41:44.680 --> 0:41:48.480 my work was My life was just constant, right, It 0:41:48.560 --> 0:41:51.960 was just on the go all the time, always everywhere. 0:41:52.600 --> 0:41:54.759 And I can't speak to women specifically, but I can 0:41:54.800 --> 0:41:57.400 speak from my perspective, which is that, you know, I 0:41:57.520 --> 0:42:00.440 was feeling like, oh my god, I have been to 0:42:00.520 --> 0:42:06.520 be this upwardly mobile, successful type a person and I 0:42:06.640 --> 0:42:11.160 never stopped back to question any of it. So, you know, yes, absolutely, 0:42:11.200 --> 0:42:13.080 I think there are things we can do on the surface, 0:42:13.800 --> 0:42:16.560 but so much of this is about digging even deeper 0:42:16.880 --> 0:42:19.880 to understand. You know, why are why do we feel 0:42:19.880 --> 0:42:22.160 the need to people please, Why do we feel the 0:42:22.200 --> 0:42:26.239 need to always link success with being busy? Why do 0:42:26.280 --> 0:42:30.920 we feel the need constantly to be accessible to everyone 0:42:31.320 --> 0:42:34.319 or to not find the words to politely say, you 0:42:34.360 --> 0:42:38.320 know what, my time, attention, money, cash, all those things 0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:41.279 are super important to me and have to take precedence 0:42:41.400 --> 0:42:44.400 right now. And I don't necessarily mean it, you know, 0:42:45.160 --> 0:42:48.440 one to one with everyone, but I do mean when 0:42:48.480 --> 0:42:52.439 you look at the whole of life, right, how can 0:42:52.480 --> 0:42:55.279 I be how can I be a little bit more 0:42:55.280 --> 0:42:58.759 selfish in how I spend my time and where I've 0:42:58.760 --> 0:43:02.839 put my focus, so anyway to be practical about it. 0:43:02.960 --> 0:43:05.120 One of the things that I you know, suggest people 0:43:05.200 --> 0:43:07.960 take a look at is not even necessarily you know, 0:43:08.200 --> 0:43:10.879 do this or do that, but take a step back 0:43:10.920 --> 0:43:13.760 and ask the question, you know, how can I slow 0:43:13.840 --> 0:43:17.680 this down? How can I put more structure in? And 0:43:17.719 --> 0:43:21.520 how can I make this more human? And I think 0:43:21.560 --> 0:43:23.480 those are the three things that have happened in the 0:43:23.560 --> 0:43:26.680 last ten and twenty years in our country because of 0:43:26.719 --> 0:43:29.200 all of this tech, because of how wired we are, 0:43:29.719 --> 0:43:32.600 we have sped it all up. We have taken the 0:43:32.600 --> 0:43:36.360 parameters and the boundaries away, and we've made it less human. 0:43:36.760 --> 0:43:39.719 And so, you know, from a just practical perspective, if 0:43:39.719 --> 0:43:43.080 we can stop in any given moment that's overwhelming to 0:43:43.160 --> 0:43:47.360 us and ask those questions, I think people, you know, 0:43:48.160 --> 0:43:51.080 can find the answers that are specific to their lives 0:43:51.160 --> 0:43:54.720 and helpful to them by by start of taking that breath. 0:43:55.280 --> 0:43:57.960 Yeah. By the way, it's Julia Vincent Gambudo on the 0:43:57.960 --> 0:44:01.799 show this morning. Please under subscribe. Thanks taking back our time, 0:44:01.920 --> 0:44:04.760 attention and purpose and world designed to bury us and bs, 0:44:05.320 --> 0:44:08.840 which is largely true. It just we pilot on pilot 0:44:08.920 --> 0:44:11.040 on pilod on. Although I just had this conversation with 0:44:11.080 --> 0:44:13.719 a buddy of mine and he's a guy. You know 0:44:14.080 --> 0:44:18.680 gen X are like me, uh and raised by parents 0:44:18.719 --> 0:44:21.600 and there and also grandparents too, where work was everything 0:44:21.600 --> 0:44:23.640 for man. Right, It's like, okay, you go when you work, 0:44:23.640 --> 0:44:25.160 you work your work, you work, you work all day, 0:44:25.200 --> 0:44:27.080 you work hard, you work smart, you make your money, 0:44:27.440 --> 0:44:29.239 and then hopefully at the end you start to cash 0:44:29.239 --> 0:44:31.239 out and enjoy the fruits of your labor. I think 0:44:31.280 --> 0:44:34.680 that models changed because we have seen in a lot 0:44:34.680 --> 0:44:36.840 of people are as older certainly would look at it 0:44:36.840 --> 0:44:38.600 and go, oh my god, nobody wants to work anymore. 0:44:38.640 --> 0:44:41.680 And I think it's partly true, and it looks and 0:44:41.719 --> 0:44:43.719 appears that way, but you know, look at it this way. 0:44:43.760 --> 0:44:46.359 When you were working when you were younger, Hey can 0:44:46.400 --> 0:44:48.880 we go and uh, we're gonna want a family vacation. 0:44:48.960 --> 0:44:51.320 How much time did you spend working while on vacation 0:44:52.600 --> 0:44:55.800 because things were expected you at work or weekends or nights, 0:44:55.920 --> 0:44:58.160 or you may be distracted by different projects and things 0:44:58.239 --> 0:45:00.440 you had to get done. And so you know, kids 0:45:00.480 --> 0:45:02.680 absorb that like a sponge and they say, all right, well, 0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:05.440 you know, we live a nice life. I guess, relatively speaking, 0:45:05.480 --> 0:45:06.880 we always want more as a kid. But at the 0:45:06.920 --> 0:45:09.439 same time, you know, I saw what work has done 0:45:09.440 --> 0:45:11.399 to my parents. I saw the two thousand and eight 0:45:11.480 --> 0:45:13.480 housing collapse, what that did a lot of people. We 0:45:13.520 --> 0:45:16.120 saw what happened during the pandemic and people losing their jobs, 0:45:16.280 --> 0:45:17.799 Like and I think you're good people look at that 0:45:17.800 --> 0:45:20.040 and said, you know what, tomorrow is not given. I'm 0:45:20.040 --> 0:45:22.879 gonna enjoy life in the moment, at the moment, right now. Now, 0:45:22.920 --> 0:45:24.640 do they want nice things with I'm putting that kind 0:45:24.680 --> 0:45:28.399 of effort in absolutely. But you can choose to have. 0:45:28.640 --> 0:45:31.000 You can choose to live that life where you're not 0:45:31.160 --> 0:45:34.799 consumed with work and not consumed with burning the mid 0:45:34.840 --> 0:45:37.080 not all and doing those things at previous generations, but 0:45:37.440 --> 0:45:39.839 you're probably not going to have as much at the end. 0:45:40.000 --> 0:45:41.719 So that is a choice that you will make. I 0:45:41.760 --> 0:45:43.719 respect that out of today said that they literally, hey, 0:45:43.719 --> 0:45:45.839 I'm going on vacation now. I'm not waiting until I'm 0:45:45.920 --> 0:45:48.520 in my sixties to travel. I think that's an awesome thing. 0:45:48.600 --> 0:45:52.000 But you're doing at the expense of future comfort, and 0:45:52.280 --> 0:45:53.600 that's a trade off you have to accept. 0:45:54.880 --> 0:45:56.919 Yeah, I mean I agree with you. I think well, first, 0:45:56.960 --> 0:46:01.000 I think our generation I'm a sennial. I guess they 0:46:01.040 --> 0:46:04.280 call us these folks who were born, you know, late seventies, 0:46:04.320 --> 0:46:06.880 early eighties, and we're sort of sandwiched in the middle. 0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:10.800 We we we grew up without email and without tech, 0:46:10.880 --> 0:46:16.279 and then graduated college and suddenly, right, you know, so 0:46:16.360 --> 0:46:21.040 we went out into the professional world really unequipped, really 0:46:21.239 --> 0:46:24.160 uh to to understand what this all meant and what 0:46:24.200 --> 0:46:27.840 it what it asks of us. But to your point, 0:46:27.920 --> 0:46:30.440 you know, I think this generation, the younger generation, is 0:46:30.440 --> 0:46:32.680 seeing these things, but they're also seeing that the mass 0:46:32.880 --> 0:46:37.040 doesn't add up, right, and without without stoking a political fire, 0:46:37.200 --> 0:46:39.440 I mean, the truth is that, you know, the numbers 0:46:39.520 --> 0:46:43.520 just do not support working at that kind of level. 0:46:44.560 --> 0:46:47.640 You know that that past generations did. Right, We're seeing 0:46:47.680 --> 0:46:50.279 that we're getting less for our money. We're seeing that 0:46:50.480 --> 0:46:54.480 prices for even homes, right, which is like this major 0:46:54.560 --> 0:46:58.239 symbol of our financial and material success, right, that is 0:46:58.280 --> 0:47:01.520 a different proportion of our income. It is a much 0:47:01.600 --> 0:47:04.880 much larger buy in than it has ever been before. 0:47:05.800 --> 0:47:09.080 We're seeing that even the cost of vacations right proportional 0:47:09.160 --> 0:47:12.319 to what people make per year, has gone up. So 0:47:12.440 --> 0:47:15.840 all those things, I mean, those are small examples, but 0:47:16.120 --> 0:47:18.480 there are plenty in the list as long of sort 0:47:18.480 --> 0:47:21.240 of where the map isn't massing right. 0:47:23.239 --> 0:47:23.439 Now. 0:47:23.480 --> 0:47:25.320 I hate the fact by the way that older people 0:47:25.360 --> 0:47:27.960 in particular, maybe, but you know, you can work hard 0:47:27.960 --> 0:47:29.520 to or three or four jobs, but that's not the 0:47:29.560 --> 0:47:31.200 same as it was when we were young, when you 0:47:31.239 --> 0:47:33.480 were when I was young, certainly, and for you, and 0:47:33.680 --> 0:47:35.760 if you're older, if you know, in your sixties, seventies, 0:47:35.800 --> 0:47:38.400 eighties or whatever, it's a whole different dynamic. Now. You 0:47:38.440 --> 0:47:41.200 could work, you know, four different full time jobs and 0:47:41.280 --> 0:47:44.640 still have a hard time servicing your debt. There's inflation. 0:47:44.640 --> 0:47:46.600 Inflation has gone up, and wages have not kept up, 0:47:46.600 --> 0:47:50.480 and we've seen the gap between GDP and wages just 0:47:50.560 --> 0:47:53.080 continue to grow further and further apart. It's a real deal. 0:47:53.120 --> 0:47:55.720 Don't be dismissive of younger people say, man, I'm working, 0:47:56.520 --> 0:47:58.279 you know, I just I can't get ahead. Well, you 0:47:58.280 --> 0:48:00.879 need to work harder. Well, you know now, if you're 0:48:00.960 --> 0:48:02.920 up there in age, yeah, maybe you worked hard, but 0:48:03.000 --> 0:48:06.520 your money went a lot today And when I were 0:48:06.560 --> 0:48:09.120 talking about getting buried in college debt and stuff like that, 0:48:09.280 --> 0:48:12.520 and so I think that work is becoming less important 0:48:12.560 --> 0:48:15.560 to individuals. But I would say that work is the 0:48:16.200 --> 0:48:18.720 business of the United States, the business of America's business, 0:48:19.000 --> 0:48:20.880 and that means people have to work. And so if 0:48:20.920 --> 0:48:22.799 you're not willing to do that at some point, are 0:48:22.800 --> 0:48:24.200 you're going to do it less? And God bless you 0:48:24.200 --> 0:48:26.919 if you that's your choice, But you stand a high 0:48:26.960 --> 0:48:29.480 likelihood that AI is going to come in and fill 0:48:29.520 --> 0:48:30.000 that void. 0:48:31.360 --> 0:48:33.520 Well, I think now it is going to not only 0:48:33.560 --> 0:48:35.920 fill the void, it's going to blow the void his 0:48:36.200 --> 0:48:40.080 bery here. And I think where we are, you know, 0:48:40.239 --> 0:48:46.480 not necessarily completely emotionally prepared for what's about to happen, 0:48:46.560 --> 0:48:49.480 for the losses that we're going to see. Not to 0:48:49.520 --> 0:48:53.840 be doomsday about it, because I think there is a 0:48:53.880 --> 0:48:57.239 scenario where this can be helpful to humanity. This can 0:48:57.280 --> 0:49:01.719 be helpful to the economy and also to our to 0:49:01.760 --> 0:49:04.440 our day to day. But we've got to have really, 0:49:04.560 --> 0:49:09.600 really much larger conversations and at the highest levels. 0:49:09.239 --> 0:49:11.960 Of power about how we use. 0:49:11.920 --> 0:49:15.640 AI in order to benefit the masses. Right and right 0:49:15.680 --> 0:49:20.040 now it's in the hands of a handful of corporations 0:49:20.080 --> 0:49:22.920 that are only going to use it for their specific 0:49:23.000 --> 0:49:26.840 gain and goals, and so it's it's really you know, 0:49:26.920 --> 0:49:29.520 now is the time to be having a conversation, to 0:49:29.560 --> 0:49:32.279 be pushing back and to be speaking tru to power 0:49:32.480 --> 0:49:34.319 to say, hey, you know, while this is going to 0:49:34.440 --> 0:49:38.920 change humanity, how is everyone going to benefit? 0:49:39.120 --> 0:49:39.560 Right? 0:49:39.960 --> 0:49:42.480 And I don't think everyone needs to necessarily. I'm not 0:49:42.600 --> 0:49:46.200 talking about, you know, outright socialism. I'm talking about having 0:49:46.280 --> 0:49:52.760 conversations about how we fuel capitalism with things like AI. Right, 0:49:52.880 --> 0:49:56.840 this is world changing, This is life altering for all 0:49:56.880 --> 0:49:59.680 of humanity. And I think we've got to wake up 0:49:59.680 --> 0:50:03.840 to how significant a change is coming and start to 0:50:04.160 --> 0:50:08.359 really have serious conversations about how that gets spread out 0:50:08.600 --> 0:50:12.000 right among three hundred million people here in the US 0:50:12.040 --> 0:50:14.799 and obviously more across the world. But how do you 0:50:14.920 --> 0:50:17.600 bring that benefit? And I'm not an AI specialist, but 0:50:17.960 --> 0:50:20.919 the question to be asked is how do you bring 0:50:21.000 --> 0:50:23.120 that benefit to as many people as possible? 0:50:23.239 --> 0:50:25.120 Probably going to make things worse where it's like, oh, yeah, 0:50:25.120 --> 0:50:27.600 you know, look at the ads for everything that's technology's 0:50:27.600 --> 0:50:28.920 going to make your life so much either. No, it's 0:50:28.920 --> 0:50:31.080 not just gonna make it more complex. I'll have more 0:50:31.200 --> 0:50:33.960 different things to do and more passwords to remember and 0:50:33.960 --> 0:50:36.400 crap like that. And I get why younger people are 0:50:36.480 --> 0:50:38.760 checking out, and maybe we've peaked at that too, because 0:50:39.120 --> 0:50:40.400 how much of this do you think we had a 0:50:40.400 --> 0:50:43.080 glimpse of life when COVID went on. I mean, we 0:50:43.120 --> 0:50:45.240 look back at COVID, it was a scary time. For sure, 0:50:45.520 --> 0:50:46.880 we didn't know where this thing was headed. But for 0:50:46.920 --> 0:50:48.720 a lot of people listening to the early days anyway, 0:50:48.719 --> 0:50:50.320 it was like, wait a minute, hold on a second, 0:50:50.360 --> 0:50:53.520 I can work from home. I can work remotely. I 0:50:53.600 --> 0:50:55.520 don't have that now if you lost your job obviously 0:50:55.520 --> 0:50:57.719 because of that's a different story or a riff. But 0:50:58.520 --> 0:51:00.560 for most people it's like, okay, I can work from home. 0:51:00.680 --> 0:51:02.680 What does that look like. I'm in my pajamas and 0:51:02.680 --> 0:51:06.319 it's like, you know what, nothing that We're not going 0:51:06.400 --> 0:51:09.799 to go out and socialized because everything's closed. It's it's 0:51:09.840 --> 0:51:12.239 amazing how in just a few years we've gotten way 0:51:12.280 --> 0:51:14.239 far away from that. We had a taste of like 0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:16.759 slowing life downe but clearly those Americans we don't want 0:51:16.800 --> 0:51:19.520 that we've returned to office is a thing. We've ramped 0:51:19.520 --> 0:51:21.440 it all up, and I think we exceeded where we 0:51:21.440 --> 0:51:24.640 were in twenty twenty before COVID really hit. 0:51:25.520 --> 0:51:29.680 I mean, so many of the numbers are bearing out 0:51:29.719 --> 0:51:32.719 that we are back with a bench. Yeah, no doubt, 0:51:32.880 --> 0:51:35.120 you know, and I think part of that. You know, 0:51:35.160 --> 0:51:37.759 there's a lot of reasons you could point to for 0:51:37.920 --> 0:51:40.719 why we went back to normal, but one of the 0:51:40.760 --> 0:51:42.799 things I think that's really important is that we were 0:51:42.800 --> 0:51:43.680 committed to it. 0:51:43.800 --> 0:51:44.000 Right. 0:51:44.040 --> 0:51:47.360 We had we had a thirty year mortgage, right, not 0:51:47.440 --> 0:51:49.799 a five or ten year or fifteen, right. We had 0:51:49.840 --> 0:51:53.880 a we had jobs that all of it. I'm not 0:51:54.200 --> 0:51:56.399 ever saying that, you know, people don't have to go 0:51:56.440 --> 0:51:59.200 and work and make a living, but I do think 0:51:59.239 --> 0:52:02.279 that we went back very easily, and we went back 0:52:02.320 --> 0:52:05.239 sort of because the story was sold to us that 0:52:05.640 --> 0:52:09.120 you know, normal is normal is good, Normal is what 0:52:09.160 --> 0:52:12.520 we need in our lives. And we've got to get 0:52:12.520 --> 0:52:15.000 back to the over consumption, and we've got to get 0:52:15.040 --> 0:52:17.479 back to the go, go go and the run goun run, 0:52:18.400 --> 0:52:20.359 you know. And I think it just behooves all of 0:52:20.440 --> 0:52:23.920 us to kind of just remember that in those moments 0:52:23.960 --> 0:52:27.319 when the chips were down and things looked really dark, 0:52:28.480 --> 0:52:31.600 you know what was important to us, Right? What did 0:52:31.640 --> 0:52:34.279 we run to? Who are the people we turned to? 0:52:34.480 --> 0:52:37.440 What are the things that we did? I mean, there's 0:52:37.520 --> 0:52:41.000 no way to recreate that moment, and I wouldn't want to, 0:52:41.440 --> 0:52:43.960 but there was a great value in it, right, There 0:52:44.000 --> 0:52:47.280 was great value in sort of understanding like, oh wow, 0:52:47.760 --> 0:52:52.720 my life actually boiled down to these ten fifteen people, 0:52:53.280 --> 0:52:57.520 like these few things that I love to do, these people. 0:52:57.200 --> 0:53:00.840 That I love, this recipe that I like me whatever 0:53:00.880 --> 0:53:01.760 it is, right. 0:53:01.680 --> 0:53:05.960 Yeah, yeah, And tearing that forward can be a difficult process. 0:53:05.960 --> 0:53:08.600 But I think you know, the first step that sort 0:53:08.600 --> 0:53:11.520 of recognizing it, even writing it down, being really aware 0:53:11.560 --> 0:53:13.359 of kind of you know, what was it in that 0:53:13.440 --> 0:53:15.719 moment that I ran to that was valuable to me 0:53:15.800 --> 0:53:19.040 and meaningful for me? And how can I bring that 0:53:19.080 --> 0:53:21.520 forward in my life? But I think you're totally right 0:53:21.600 --> 0:53:26.320 that COVID with this weird exercise and anti socialism, right. 0:53:26.160 --> 0:53:29.600 You guys are, and we went we really don't want 0:53:29.640 --> 0:53:31.680 this or that's not expected of us anymore. It's it 0:53:32.040 --> 0:53:36.799 is fascinating. Please unsubscribe. Thanks. It's Julio Vincent Cambudo on 0:53:36.800 --> 0:53:39.479 The Sconserland Show seven hundred WW taking back your time 0:53:39.480 --> 0:53:41.600 and attention and purpose in this world, in this crazy, 0:53:41.640 --> 0:53:43.919 crazy world. Thanks for coming on the show, all the best, 0:53:44.600 --> 0:53:47.480 Thanks for having me you well too long. Didn't read 0:53:48.040 --> 0:53:50.399 just say no. Sometimes I'll say no a lot more 0:53:50.440 --> 0:53:53.000 often at least his equal number of yes is that 0:53:53.040 --> 0:53:55.080 you give. You keep saying yes to stuff all the time, 0:53:55.800 --> 0:53:58.360 you're headed that cycle of burnout. That's real because it 0:53:58.360 --> 0:54:00.759 comes at us all the time, not saying, you know, 0:54:00.760 --> 0:54:03.160 stop being charitable or hopeful, or be a good friend 0:54:03.239 --> 0:54:05.520 or a husband, or a mother or a son or 0:54:05.520 --> 0:54:08.359 a daughter saying you know you sometimes you'll just got 0:54:08.360 --> 0:54:10.000 the carved room out for yourself. I get that, now, 0:54:10.120 --> 0:54:13.439 get that later in life anyway. Maybe it involves sitting 0:54:13.440 --> 0:54:16.240 around drinking, having something to eat. Maybe it involves sports 0:54:16.280 --> 0:54:18.320 this weekend coming it got you covered there. Austin Elmore 0:54:18.320 --> 0:54:21.080 from ESPN fifteen thirty jumps in next. Did the Bengals 0:54:21.120 --> 0:54:25.600 even stand a chance against Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions? 0:54:26.160 --> 0:54:29.120 The odds makers say no, simply because they are ten 0:54:29.160 --> 0:54:31.840 point underdogs at home at pay Corps on Sunday on 0:54:31.960 --> 0:54:34.239 the Home of the Best. Bengals covered seven hundred WWT. 0:54:39.280 --> 0:54:43.520 Later today at noon on esp IN fifteen thirty, you 0:54:43.600 --> 0:54:47.360 hear this guy and Cincinnati's sports legend, the Hall of 0:54:47.360 --> 0:54:50.600 Famer himself, Tony Pike, chopping up sports. He's lot, where 0:54:50.600 --> 0:54:52.680 are you right now? You come? This is your one 0:54:52.719 --> 0:54:53.920 call you're allowed from the lock up. 0:54:55.640 --> 0:54:57.960 Oh yeah, I'm just I'm at home. I'm prepared at home. 0:54:58.000 --> 0:55:00.279 You were shared, you're prepared. You're not here that you're 0:55:00.320 --> 0:55:04.040 prepared or you're prepared. You're Prepared's good. We're we're on 0:55:04.080 --> 0:55:06.200 a remote today. We're going to be over at home, 0:55:06.200 --> 0:55:09.600 a rama over at the Foundry in Oakley with tell 0:55:09.719 --> 0:55:12.560 windows and doors. So I'm doing all my prep from 0:55:12.560 --> 0:55:14.399 home today. Try to stay away from you as much 0:55:14.400 --> 0:55:14.759 as I can. 0:55:14.920 --> 0:55:17.319 Dosn't got any bigger than that to well, you know, 0:55:17.400 --> 0:55:20.560 you can't. You can't catch what I have my relative 0:55:20.600 --> 0:55:24.719 to my ankle injury, which that's not communicable disease. But 0:55:25.000 --> 0:55:27.960 that's all right. Maybe my luck, I probably would probably would. 0:55:28.880 --> 0:55:30.759 Where do we jump in this morning? We could kick 0:55:30.800 --> 0:55:32.799 around the ryy of the Reds pretty much. That's over. 0:55:33.080 --> 0:55:38.320 We exhausted that topic. Yesterday I watched nothing. I enjoyed 0:55:38.320 --> 0:55:41.400 watching some playoff baseball last night and the very generous 0:55:41.440 --> 0:55:44.680 strike zone. Granted than that the Cubs affair last night 0:55:44.719 --> 0:55:46.800 as Well's boy, I'll tell you what, watching some of 0:55:46.840 --> 0:55:48.720 the umpiring, and now that you know for a while 0:55:48.800 --> 0:55:53.120 now all the broadcasts that have sports or have baseball 0:55:53.200 --> 0:55:55.839 rather have the strike zone in it and just further 0:55:55.880 --> 0:55:59.480 emphasizes the difference between AI and the technology we have 0:55:59.680 --> 0:56:02.680 and the human eyeball. Because man, I'll tell you what 0:56:03.000 --> 0:56:06.520 it was egregious yesterday. If you want to you want 0:56:06.520 --> 0:56:09.960 to make sure that you your job is outsourced to computers. 0:56:10.440 --> 0:56:13.440 I think that was evidence last night with the Cubs 0:56:13.480 --> 0:56:17.200 Padres game. Yeah, I mean, without a doubt. 0:56:17.239 --> 0:56:21.640 I mean, major league umpires missed thousands and thousands and 0:56:21.719 --> 0:56:26.680 thousands of ball strike calls per week, and so over 0:56:26.719 --> 0:56:29.160 the course of a season, that adds up really quickly. 0:56:29.360 --> 0:56:31.520 And so next year they have an ounce that they're 0:56:31.520 --> 0:56:33.560 going to bring in the automated ball strike system, the 0:56:33.680 --> 0:56:35.960 Challenge System, and I think it's going to be good 0:56:35.960 --> 0:56:38.320 for baseball. I think last year when they were testing 0:56:38.320 --> 0:56:39.920 it both in the minor leagues, they did it in 0:56:39.920 --> 0:56:41.719 the All Star Game. This year in major leagues, they 0:56:41.760 --> 0:56:44.600 did in Major League Spring Training. And the whole thing 0:56:44.680 --> 0:56:48.200 took I think roughly thirteen seconds on average for a 0:56:48.280 --> 0:56:50.560 challenge to go through. So if it's that, you know, 0:56:50.960 --> 0:56:54.000 it's that small and it doesn't require too much time 0:56:54.040 --> 0:56:56.880 and too much effort, and you know, the video boards 0:56:56.880 --> 0:56:58.839 and the cameras and the technology, you might as well 0:56:58.920 --> 0:57:01.440 use it to get the calls right, especially in a 0:57:01.480 --> 0:57:03.520 game like last night, where the padres would have been 0:57:03.560 --> 0:57:07.560 able to successfully challenge several calls that the umpires missed, 0:57:07.560 --> 0:57:09.400 and you know they were not happy with the umpires 0:57:09.400 --> 0:57:10.879 and were yelling at him coming off the field. 0:57:10.880 --> 0:57:12.640 I don't blame him. Yeah, I get it. I get 0:57:12.640 --> 0:57:15.200 in tar So Red is not part of the conversation. 0:57:15.280 --> 0:57:17.240 We kind of covered this the other day talking about 0:57:17.240 --> 0:57:19.200 what the off season looks like for the Red Legs. 0:57:19.400 --> 0:57:22.640 We move on to current sports and probably should jump 0:57:22.720 --> 0:57:24.880 right into Bengals talk this morning as the three and 0:57:25.000 --> 0:57:27.360 one Lions come running into town. Here with that Dan 0:57:27.400 --> 0:57:30.600 Campbell at the Helm, ten point underdogs at home, the 0:57:30.640 --> 0:57:34.600 widest prediction as far as losses go in the NFL. 0:57:34.640 --> 0:57:38.280 Here you want to talk about just a glaring beatdown 0:57:38.320 --> 0:57:40.439 that is about to be experienced at pay Course, Davy, 0:57:40.440 --> 0:57:41.920 it's going to be with us. Earlier I talked to 0:57:42.000 --> 0:57:44.640 Dan Horde and he tends to be optimistic about things. 0:57:44.640 --> 0:57:47.560 I understand that, but I would say I'm looking at 0:57:47.600 --> 0:57:50.160 Jake Browning situation, not that Jake Browning. We saw just 0:57:50.200 --> 0:57:53.440 a couple of years ago. It's a pal comparison. However, 0:57:53.680 --> 0:57:57.200 I can't believe people are clamoring for Russell Wilson to 0:57:57.280 --> 0:58:00.200 take over that What exactly is Russell Wilson going to offer? Now, 0:58:00.280 --> 0:58:02.120 maybe he hits Jamar Chase and a couple of those 0:58:02.360 --> 0:58:05.640 blatantly open routesies on, but you get do you give 0:58:05.680 --> 0:58:08.360 up draft capital and do you get Russell Wilson just 0:58:08.400 --> 0:58:11.080 to make the losses closer? I just I don't understand 0:58:11.120 --> 0:58:13.720 you're gonna lose. You're just gonna lose by probably less 0:58:13.720 --> 0:58:16.600 of a margin. Does that matter? Yeah? 0:58:16.640 --> 0:58:19.520 Well, I think the Bengals might believe, or most people 0:58:19.560 --> 0:58:23.080 might believe that the Bengals margin isn't that big in 0:58:23.120 --> 0:58:26.280 that a good quarterback could, you know, help shrink that 0:58:26.560 --> 0:58:28.960 margin and make those games a lot more winnable, a 0:58:28.960 --> 0:58:32.160 lot more competitive. I tend to think right now that 0:58:32.240 --> 0:58:34.240 even if you went out and acquired Russell Wilson or 0:58:34.320 --> 0:58:38.520 Jamis Winston or Derek Carr or insert quarterback here, that 0:58:38.600 --> 0:58:40.760 it's not going to have that big of a difference. 0:58:40.800 --> 0:58:42.480 And the main reason I say that is that the 0:58:42.520 --> 0:58:45.200 defense is still really really bad. Yes, and there's no 0:58:45.360 --> 0:58:48.800 run game, there's no offensive line as protection, and that's 0:58:48.960 --> 0:58:52.280 a major issue now. I think they played mildly better 0:58:52.360 --> 0:58:55.960 in the run and protecting Jake Browning on Monday Night 0:58:56.000 --> 0:58:59.880 in Denver, but you know, it's still a long, long 0:59:00.640 --> 0:59:03.160 road to hope for those guys, So you know, I 0:59:03.160 --> 0:59:04.880 don't think it would make that big of a difference. 0:59:04.920 --> 0:59:07.280 I don't think Jake Browning played good on Monday Night. 0:59:07.360 --> 0:59:11.040 He missed multiple opportunities. And if he makes those plays, 0:59:11.040 --> 0:59:13.760 if he completes those passes, then maybe it is a 0:59:13.800 --> 0:59:16.280 different game. Maybe it is more competitive. Maybe just being 0:59:16.320 --> 0:59:19.000 on the field longer helps your defense out and it's 0:59:19.120 --> 0:59:22.000 more close to what we expected to see from the Bengals. 0:59:22.360 --> 0:59:24.280 I just don't know that it's that big of a 0:59:24.320 --> 0:59:26.680 difference right now. If you were to bring in a 0:59:26.680 --> 0:59:29.680 guy like Russell Wilson, I think the Bengals still. 0:59:29.400 --> 0:59:30.600 Believe in Jake Browning. 0:59:31.360 --> 0:59:33.800 Early on, he was just reckless with the ball, and 0:59:33.840 --> 0:59:36.000 he was a gunslinger, and he was just not at 0:59:36.000 --> 0:59:39.919 all what we saw from him in twenty twenty three. 0:59:39.920 --> 0:59:43.240 And it felt like last week against Denver, he tried 0:59:43.240 --> 0:59:45.320 to overcorrect on that and he was a little too 0:59:45.440 --> 0:59:47.720 safe and he didn't take the extra chance he didn't 0:59:47.880 --> 0:59:49.760 drive the ball down the field as much as he could. 0:59:49.760 --> 0:59:51.720 He threw balls way out of bounds instead of given 0:59:51.800 --> 0:59:54.480 his receivers a chance. And so he's got to find 0:59:54.480 --> 0:59:57.120 that middle ground of like, yes, I need to be aggressive, 0:59:57.520 --> 0:59:59.880 I have to trust my receivers, but also I can 1:00:00.200 --> 1:00:02.800 make dumb decisions that hurt the football team. Jake's gotta 1:00:02.800 --> 1:00:03.479 find the middle ground. 1:00:03.520 --> 1:00:03.560 Er. 1:00:03.640 --> 1:00:06.080 Yeah, the problem is is your your your comparative is 1:00:06.160 --> 1:00:09.000 Joe Burrow, and Joe Burrow has covered a lot of 1:00:09.040 --> 1:00:11.560 the glaring weakness has now been exposed in the Jake 1:00:11.600 --> 1:00:14.320 Browning era when it comes to things like pass protection, 1:00:14.400 --> 1:00:17.720 getting the role making quick decisions doesn't offset the defense 1:00:17.760 --> 1:00:19.600 at all. But if you got Joe Burrow and he 1:00:19.640 --> 1:00:22.600 can throw a lot more dimes than Jake Browning can, 1:00:22.760 --> 1:00:25.840 maybe you could win a close game. Maybe and probably 1:00:25.880 --> 1:00:28.680 And we saw that, and that's the problem. You're comparing 1:00:29.400 --> 1:00:31.520 Jake Browning the big step down from Joe Burrow. I 1:00:31.520 --> 1:00:33.439 think if he had Russell Wilson in there, people would 1:00:33.440 --> 1:00:35.760 be going, well, how bad could Jake Browning be? That 1:00:35.920 --> 1:00:37.720 that's where we'd be, And it's it's very fickle. 1:00:39.360 --> 1:00:41.960 Yeah, without a doubt, And to me, it becomes less 1:00:41.960 --> 1:00:44.760 about comparing the two quarterbacks and more about saying, how 1:00:44.800 --> 1:00:47.960 can my head coach make an offense that is built 1:00:47.960 --> 1:00:51.000 around what Jake Browning does well. A perfect example is 1:00:51.040 --> 1:00:53.080 what we saw last night on Thursday Night Football. The 1:00:53.120 --> 1:00:55.440 way the San Francisco forty nine Ers in two games 1:00:55.440 --> 1:00:58.240 already this year. Because brock perty is dealing with turf 1:00:58.320 --> 1:01:02.800 tow that won't go away, Mac Jones has flawlessly operated 1:01:02.840 --> 1:01:06.000 the forty nine ers offense and led them to victories 1:01:06.040 --> 1:01:09.360 both on the road in tough environments, one in New Orleans, 1:01:09.400 --> 1:01:11.960 one in Los Angeles. Even though he's a lot of 1:01:12.000 --> 1:01:15.479 Niners fans, short week Thursday night Division rival, he's able 1:01:15.520 --> 1:01:18.360 to go out there and win a game. So to me, 1:01:18.680 --> 1:01:21.400 the focus now really shifts to Zach Taylor. It's like, Okay, 1:01:21.440 --> 1:01:24.080 you built this offense around Joe Burrow and Jamar Jason 1:01:24.120 --> 1:01:26.600 t Higgins. How do you build an offense that has 1:01:26.640 --> 1:01:30.480 a running game that is competitive or dependable or at 1:01:30.560 --> 1:01:33.440 least not getting negative yardage every time? How can you 1:01:33.480 --> 1:01:36.600 build an offense that helps Jake Browning? Now, if you remember, 1:01:37.120 --> 1:01:38.480 you know when Jake. 1:01:42.400 --> 1:01:45.480 Oh we lost as Austin, there is he back are 1:01:45.480 --> 1:01:51.760 you there? Oh, we have Austin Elmore issues. Maybe he's 1:01:51.800 --> 1:01:55.520 also simultaneously waiting for the sentencing here and to begin 1:01:55.640 --> 1:01:59.200 for one Sean Diddy, Brian Combs. Diddy or Didney is 1:01:59.200 --> 1:02:01.320 a big question to be answer today in court. We'll 1:02:01.320 --> 1:02:03.440 try to get Austin Onlmore back as he tackles the 1:02:03.520 --> 1:02:08.080 tough questions about Bengals football today. Yeah, I'm the mindset, Okay, 1:02:08.160 --> 1:02:10.880 Russell Wilson. People, I get Russell Wilson here. You think 1:02:10.920 --> 1:02:12.560 in a week or two he's gonna learn the playbook 1:02:12.560 --> 1:02:14.480 and be able to turn things around for this Bengal team. 1:02:14.920 --> 1:02:17.560 He may maybe it gets you maybe one game on 1:02:17.680 --> 1:02:20.080 a good day. But watched a little bit of Russell 1:02:20.080 --> 1:02:22.160 Wilson enough to know this isn't the same Russell Wilson 1:02:22.160 --> 1:02:25.320 as we saw winning Super Bowls and dominating the NFL 1:02:25.440 --> 1:02:27.520 just a few, well not only a few a number 1:02:27.560 --> 1:02:30.520 of years ago. Just doesn't work out. Is the math mathing? 1:02:30.640 --> 1:02:32.840 Probably not. I think Jake Brown is just going to 1:02:32.880 --> 1:02:35.720 be the guy until Joe Burrow comes back, unless some 1:02:35.720 --> 1:02:37.840 sort of manna from heaven comes flowing down and we 1:02:37.880 --> 1:02:40.040 get a quarterback in our lap. At that point, I'm 1:02:40.040 --> 1:02:42.560 My concern with that Jake Browning though, is you saw 1:02:42.600 --> 1:02:45.320 the frustration from someone like Jamar Chase and to a 1:02:45.400 --> 1:02:48.680 degree t Higgins, those guys starting can place and going, hey, listen, 1:02:48.720 --> 1:02:51.040 I'm gonna run these routes and the ball's notable to 1:02:51.080 --> 1:02:53.120 find even to be in the same time zone as 1:02:53.160 --> 1:02:56.520 I am. What's the point How long before those guys 1:02:56.560 --> 1:02:58.680 start dogging it? I think that's a real concern. Austin 1:02:58.800 --> 1:03:01.760 is you know, if you want Browning, do you start 1:03:01.800 --> 1:03:04.120 do these guys start losing interests as well? And we 1:03:04.160 --> 1:03:06.600 saw this to some degree, I mean, turnovers and penalties, 1:03:06.600 --> 1:03:08.919 a lot of sloppy football. Coach said no more self 1:03:08.960 --> 1:03:12.920 inflicted errors. But I think when you have the crisis 1:03:13.000 --> 1:03:15.680 and both sides of the ball that you're facing right 1:03:15.680 --> 1:03:18.680 now in different degrees, I think the self inflicted errors 1:03:18.760 --> 1:03:21.840 come because guys just quit focusing. That's what it looked 1:03:21.880 --> 1:03:23.160 like to me. Any truth in that. 1:03:24.560 --> 1:03:26.400 Yeah, I mean, I don't know how you wouldn't get 1:03:26.400 --> 1:03:28.800 that takeaway from watching them over the last couple of weeks, 1:03:28.920 --> 1:03:32.360 especially when one fumble or one penalty or a couple 1:03:32.440 --> 1:03:35.000 of penalties, and it felt like it just completely unraveled, 1:03:35.080 --> 1:03:36.000 like guys threw in. 1:03:36.320 --> 1:03:38.200 The towel, like they gave up. What's the point? 1:03:38.240 --> 1:03:40.800 You give Jamar Chase a lot of credit because Jamar 1:03:40.880 --> 1:03:42.720 has basically said, Hey, it's up to me to be 1:03:42.760 --> 1:03:45.760 a leader. I spoke to the team after the game 1:03:45.800 --> 1:03:48.520 on Monday. I understand I've got a captain's patch of 1:03:48.600 --> 1:03:50.800 my jersey, I've got a big contract, and I understand 1:03:50.840 --> 1:03:53.000 that I have to take a new leadership role with 1:03:53.200 --> 1:03:55.800 Joe out and with Sam Hubbard not here and Von 1:03:55.840 --> 1:03:57.840 Bell and all those guys out the door. So I 1:03:57.880 --> 1:03:59.960 give Jamar credit because he's saying and doing all the 1:04:00.200 --> 1:04:01.800 right things. He's not afraid to go up to Zach 1:04:01.840 --> 1:04:04.240 Taylor and say, hey, these are things we. 1:04:04.200 --> 1:04:04.760 Need to do better. 1:04:04.760 --> 1:04:06.520 He's not afraid to say that to the team either, 1:04:06.960 --> 1:04:08.960 and it means a lot when that's the guy who's 1:04:08.960 --> 1:04:12.200 doing it in Jamar Chase. So from the receiver specifically, 1:04:12.280 --> 1:04:15.720 I haven't seen that sort of disconnect yet, and I 1:04:15.720 --> 1:04:17.920 hope that we don't see it. But from some of 1:04:17.960 --> 1:04:20.880 the other guys, I could definitely see that it felt 1:04:20.880 --> 1:04:23.120 like there was a different level of effort than what 1:04:23.160 --> 1:04:25.240 we've seen when things have gone awry. In the past. 1:04:25.400 --> 1:04:28.160 I think that is probably the most alarming thing for 1:04:28.320 --> 1:04:31.200 Zach Taylor. But if Jamar Chase is the guy leading 1:04:31.200 --> 1:04:32.920 the charge to maybe nip that in the bud, that 1:04:32.920 --> 1:04:34.960 could be a good thing, especially if it happens early in. 1:04:35.040 --> 1:04:38.160 All right, AUNI other side of the ball here, much 1:04:38.280 --> 1:04:40.640 like people are clamoring for get rid of Jake Brown 1:04:40.640 --> 1:04:42.680 and get Russ Wilson, give me Kirk Cousins, give me 1:04:42.760 --> 1:04:45.280 Jameis Winstone of the Bengals want to give up draft 1:04:45.280 --> 1:04:47.640 capital for Kirk Cousins, who would be probably the tallest 1:04:47.640 --> 1:04:50.000 person in that group. On the other side of the ball, 1:04:50.120 --> 1:04:52.600 there are people going, well, you know, Christian Wilkins is available, 1:04:52.600 --> 1:04:54.040 you can get him on the d line. That may 1:04:54.080 --> 1:04:56.640 help with the run. That may help you. That's gonna 1:04:56.640 --> 1:04:58.360 help it a lot. Yeah, but there's a reason why 1:04:58.400 --> 1:05:02.120 the Raiders of all teams gave up on Christian Wilkins. 1:05:02.360 --> 1:05:05.520 Do you want that cancer in the locker room? No? 1:05:05.640 --> 1:05:07.800 I mean, there's nobody else has gotten him either. He's 1:05:07.800 --> 1:05:10.960 had an injury the reason why, and he's he lost 1:05:11.000 --> 1:05:13.240 a lot of money for stuff that hasn't come to 1:05:13.320 --> 1:05:16.880 light yet, which probably will one day. And and it'll 1:05:16.880 --> 1:05:18.960 make a lot of sense as to why he's not 1:05:18.960 --> 1:05:20.760 not on a football team right now. To be honest, 1:05:20.760 --> 1:05:22.760 though I haven't heard a lot of clamoring for people 1:05:22.760 --> 1:05:25.240 to go and improve the defense. I do think most 1:05:25.240 --> 1:05:27.920 people feel like it's a work in progress, and they 1:05:27.960 --> 1:05:30.960 have been put in some difficult situations with the amount 1:05:30.960 --> 1:05:33.240 of turnovers that the offense has had and the lack 1:05:33.280 --> 1:05:34.920 of moving the ball and possessing the ball that the 1:05:34.920 --> 1:05:37.280 offense has had. I still think there are pieces there 1:05:37.320 --> 1:05:40.200 that are flashing at times. I liked what I saw 1:05:40.200 --> 1:05:43.560 from Dax Hill on Monday. We'll see if Shamar Stewart 1:05:43.560 --> 1:05:45.560 comes back this week or next, but he looked good 1:05:45.560 --> 1:05:47.400 when he was healthy. I saw a little bit from 1:05:47.480 --> 1:05:51.000 Joseph Osai. Trey Hendrickson really hasn't done much, but there 1:05:51.040 --> 1:05:54.560 are still young players, young pieces that are developing. We'll 1:05:54.560 --> 1:05:56.280 see how it goes over the course of the next 1:05:56.320 --> 1:05:58.520 couple of weeks. With Al Golden, I always thought that 1:05:58.560 --> 1:06:01.120 the first month, month and a half the season was 1:06:01.160 --> 1:06:02.760 going to be a work in progress for them, while 1:06:02.760 --> 1:06:04.600 they get their legs under them and they figure out, 1:06:04.960 --> 1:06:07.480 you know, the different stuff that Al Golden can install 1:06:07.600 --> 1:06:10.760 and the different ways to attack a specific offense, So 1:06:10.840 --> 1:06:13.040 we'll see how it goes. I've not totally given up 1:06:13.040 --> 1:06:14.040 on the defense yet. 1:06:13.920 --> 1:06:17.800 Though, Yeah, and on that Joe Burrow was covering for 1:06:17.880 --> 1:06:19.840 a lot of that until this defense could get better 1:06:19.840 --> 1:06:21.440 and get their legs under them. And now with Joe 1:06:21.480 --> 1:06:25.480 Burrow being gone, now they've kind of exposed to that degree. 1:06:25.600 --> 1:06:29.000 But there's some people here depending on to be pretty serviceable, 1:06:29.040 --> 1:06:32.160 if not good, this season much better. How disappointing that 1:06:32.280 --> 1:06:33.160 is Cam Taylor. 1:06:32.880 --> 1:06:37.000 Brittain, Yeah, I mean massive disappointment in every way shape 1:06:37.040 --> 1:06:39.640 and for him now, had the hamstring injury last week, 1:06:39.680 --> 1:06:42.760 didn't practice very much, had been sick all that, but 1:06:42.800 --> 1:06:44.600 it didn't matter. I mean, before he got hurt, he 1:06:44.720 --> 1:06:46.960 was not playing well. We've seen a stretch of really 1:06:47.000 --> 1:06:49.000 good play from Cam Taylor Bridge for like ten or 1:06:49.040 --> 1:06:51.720 twelve games in his career, and that's really it. 1:06:51.720 --> 1:06:53.200 It's been a mixed. 1:06:52.960 --> 1:06:56.280 Bag and mostly a bad bag of play after that. 1:06:56.400 --> 1:06:58.720 And so he's a massive disappointment to go along with 1:06:58.760 --> 1:07:02.320 a laundry list of massive disappointments and draft picks over 1:07:02.320 --> 1:07:04.479 the last couple of years. And what's most disappointing about 1:07:04.480 --> 1:07:07.240 Cam is that you know he's got the athleticism to 1:07:07.320 --> 1:07:09.520 be able to play in this league, and especially to 1:07:09.520 --> 1:07:12.120 be able to play the outside corner position, but his 1:07:12.240 --> 1:07:15.080 fundamentals do not look good. He appears to be stiff, 1:07:15.440 --> 1:07:18.880 he's slow at the top of routes, and teams target him, 1:07:19.120 --> 1:07:21.600 and when he's on the field, he's an absolute liability. 1:07:21.640 --> 1:07:23.800 And you saw that the way that the Broncos went 1:07:23.840 --> 1:07:27.120 after him basically in five snaps on Monday night, and 1:07:27.200 --> 1:07:28.600 it was so bad that the Bengals had. 1:07:28.480 --> 1:07:32.800 To pull Yeah, all right, I'm looking at the line 1:07:32.800 --> 1:07:37.080 here and Bengals ten point underdogs if Austin Elmore. Let's 1:07:37.120 --> 1:07:40.040 say that they get blown out and I'm talking another 1:07:40.080 --> 1:07:42.280 embarrassing loss to the Detroit Lions, which a lot of 1:07:42.320 --> 1:07:43.480 teams are going to get blown out of a lot 1:07:43.480 --> 1:07:45.960 of teams have been blown out Detroit. But I mean ugly, ugly, ugly. 1:07:47.080 --> 1:07:49.240 You now have a pattern here. Does that cost them 1:07:49.280 --> 1:07:51.080 on a job at this point? Should have cost them 1:07:51.080 --> 1:07:52.040 on a job at this point? 1:07:53.720 --> 1:07:57.680 At this point, I would say no, that I don't 1:07:57.680 --> 1:08:01.160 think it would. I would say that it probably should, 1:08:01.880 --> 1:08:03.120 but I don't know that it would. 1:08:03.240 --> 1:08:03.920 At this point. 1:08:03.920 --> 1:08:06.040 To me, the big game is going to be the 1:08:06.040 --> 1:08:08.480 Pittsburgh Steelers game. Now, the Bengals are going to be 1:08:08.560 --> 1:08:11.280 heavy underdogs in the next two this one against Detroit 1:08:11.600 --> 1:08:12.680 and then at green. 1:08:12.480 --> 1:08:13.160 Bay next week. 1:08:13.200 --> 1:08:16.759 Then they come back after green Bay short week Thursday 1:08:16.840 --> 1:08:20.920 night football at home, the white Bengal whiteout game against 1:08:20.920 --> 1:08:25.040 the Pittsburgh Steelers. If they are embarrassed against Pittsburgh in 1:08:25.080 --> 1:08:28.000 that game, a team that you're certainly on par with 1:08:28.080 --> 1:08:30.000 and are good enough to beat, and at home on 1:08:30.040 --> 1:08:33.640 a short week on a Thursday, then I would be 1:08:33.720 --> 1:08:36.960 surprised if there aren't heads rolling after that if they 1:08:36.960 --> 1:08:38.439 get embarrassed in that game as well. 1:08:38.479 --> 1:08:41.040 All right, real quick, because there is some bright light 1:08:41.080 --> 1:08:43.000 here as far as sports goes. And that's three and one. 1:08:43.040 --> 1:08:47.040 You see Brandon Soresby balled out against Kansas last week, 1:08:47.400 --> 1:08:51.439 Big twelve home opener for UC at Knipper tomorrow at 1:08:51.479 --> 1:08:54.880 noon here on seven hundred WW, number fourteen Iowa State 1:08:54.920 --> 1:08:58.000 comes into town. That's a number fourteen team, and Cincinnati 1:08:58.120 --> 1:09:01.519 really should be all over them because of the injuries. Yeah, 1:09:01.520 --> 1:09:01.920 that's right. 1:09:01.960 --> 1:09:04.439 I mean most of Iowa State's defense is injured. And 1:09:04.479 --> 1:09:07.400 you mentioned Brendan Sorosby is playing really good football, right, now. 1:09:07.439 --> 1:09:11.280 The receivers were the big talking point coming into this season, 1:09:11.280 --> 1:09:14.000 that the Bearcats got faster and stronger and bigger at 1:09:14.000 --> 1:09:17.040 their wide receiver position, and that the offense has certainly 1:09:17.040 --> 1:09:19.040 started to hum over the last couple of weeks, and 1:09:19.120 --> 1:09:22.040 so with so many injuries to Iowa State, even though 1:09:22.040 --> 1:09:25.080 they're ranked number fourteen in the country, the Bearcats are favored. 1:09:24.800 --> 1:09:26.439 At home and that is a big deal. 1:09:27.000 --> 1:09:29.320 And if Soworsby continues to play that he has, and 1:09:29.360 --> 1:09:31.760 most importantly, if the offensive line continues to play that 1:09:31.800 --> 1:09:33.679 they have, you want to talk about the exact opposite 1:09:33.760 --> 1:09:36.799 end of the spectrum of the Bengals. The Bearcats offensive 1:09:36.840 --> 1:09:39.920 line has allowed one sack all year, and the sack 1:09:39.960 --> 1:09:41.920 that they allowed really wasn't their fault. It was just 1:09:41.960 --> 1:09:44.760 a good play by the defense. So you know, if 1:09:44.760 --> 1:09:47.120 they're able to keep protecting Brendan Soarsby, if they got 1:09:47.120 --> 1:09:49.160 that good run pass mix, and even with sowres be 1:09:49.240 --> 1:09:51.320 getting involved in the run game like, the Bearcats have 1:09:51.360 --> 1:09:55.200 a legitimate shot to knock off number fourteen Iowa State here. 1:09:55.200 --> 1:09:58.640 It really get things moving in the right direction for scott'sadderfield. 1:09:58.800 --> 1:10:01.160 It should be a fun environment. I'm pick it up 1:10:01.200 --> 1:10:03.400 what you're putting down. You're saying, if you the Bengals, 1:10:03.439 --> 1:10:05.800 if you could take the Bearcats and have them play 1:10:05.840 --> 1:10:09.360 the Lions on Sunday, they'll lose, but they'll they'll perform 1:10:09.400 --> 1:10:11.760 better than the Bengals. Like I like that line.

Sports flies on Sunday. 1:10:54.280 --> 1:10:57.000 But you can be listening anyway, here on the Home 1:10:57.040 --> 1:11:02.800 of the Best Bengals coverage seven hundred w welw don't 1:11:02.840 --> 1:11:04.840 be back on said one hundred double l What are you? 1:11:05.720 --> 1:11:09.639 Eighteen veterans died by suicide America every single day. Seven 1:11:09.680 --> 1:11:11.680 of them are under the care of the VA, so 1:11:11.720 --> 1:11:14.240 they already getting care, which is a pretty frightening number. 1:11:14.960 --> 1:11:17.120 The numbers for women trending in the right direction, the 1:11:17.240 --> 1:11:21.200 numbers for men trending in the opposite direction. Not good. 1:11:21.640 --> 1:11:24.120 What's being done about this when it comes to veterans 1:11:24.240 --> 1:11:28.280 mental health services? And on the show again is Steve 1:11:28.320 --> 1:11:31.599 Belso is the executive director of Clairmont County Veteran Services Commission, 1:11:31.760 --> 1:11:36.960 and also Lisa Listen, who's suicide prevention counselor at Listen TVA. Welcome, good, 1:11:37.000 --> 1:11:39.000 how are you guys. 1:11:39.360 --> 1:11:41.880 It's great to have Lisa here with me today to 1:11:42.439 --> 1:11:43.960 tackle this all important subject. 1:11:44.040 --> 1:11:46.559 Yeah, it's pretty frightening because we have those stats. I mean, 1:11:46.560 --> 1:11:49.040 it wasn't twenty I think at one time, and only eighteen. 1:11:49.120 --> 1:11:51.920 But why are men going up and women going down? 1:11:51.960 --> 1:11:53.160 I guess at Lisa, that'd be a good. 1:11:53.040 --> 1:11:55.240 Question for Well, I think you have to remember there 1:11:55.280 --> 1:11:58.400 are more men in the military or that were served 1:11:58.400 --> 1:12:01.639 in the military than there are women, so of course 1:12:01.680 --> 1:12:05.280 that's going to raise the number somewhat. And you know, 1:12:05.960 --> 1:12:11.519 with men, we really know that their identity, especially in 1:12:11.560 --> 1:12:15.400 the military, and then transitioning home can be quite difficult 1:12:15.800 --> 1:12:20.439 because oftentimes they they see themselves as you know, the 1:12:20.520 --> 1:12:23.160 breadwinner and that you know, they need to be the 1:12:23.200 --> 1:12:26.559 one that's kind of leading the family and providing for 1:12:26.640 --> 1:12:29.959 their family. And when they transition out the military sometimes 1:12:29.960 --> 1:12:33.800 that's very, very difficult because they have a hard time 1:12:33.840 --> 1:12:37.360 transitioning between what I did in the military and how 1:12:37.400 --> 1:12:41.080 does that transpose to the community and what job I'm 1:12:41.120 --> 1:12:43.160 going to have there. So they really struggle with that. 1:12:43.520 --> 1:12:46.880 Plus they lose their connection with what they saw as 1:12:46.920 --> 1:12:50.120 their family of sorts in the military, and so then 1:12:50.160 --> 1:12:53.280 they become very disconnected. And then when they come home, 1:12:53.360 --> 1:12:57.559 sometimes their relationships have dissolved for one reason or another 1:12:58.280 --> 1:13:01.040 with some of their family members, whether a spouse or 1:13:01.320 --> 1:13:04.559 another family member, and so they're dealing with a lot 1:13:04.600 --> 1:13:08.320 of different stressors, not just what happened in the military, 1:13:08.600 --> 1:13:11.280 but then what was going on at home. Sometimes there's 1:13:11.320 --> 1:13:12.679 a disconnect there as well. 1:13:12.760 --> 1:13:14.680 Sure, Steve, you saw this first hand for all your 1:13:14.720 --> 1:13:18.320 years of the military as well. Is certainly PTSD has 1:13:18.320 --> 1:13:19.880 a lot to do this we'll talk about that. But 1:13:19.920 --> 1:13:22.560 also the fact that the real world doesn't run the 1:13:22.600 --> 1:13:24.400 way it does in the military. Now, there's a lot 1:13:24.479 --> 1:13:27.880 less accountability in the real world. That's a problem in it, 1:13:27.439 --> 1:13:28.240 but it is. 1:13:28.400 --> 1:13:28.840 It is, right. 1:13:28.880 --> 1:13:32.360 So there's there's a big divide between active duty service 1:13:32.640 --> 1:13:36.400 and there's an expectation that if Jones doesn't show up 1:13:36.439 --> 1:13:40.240 for formation today, somebody go find Jones. Yeah, if Jones 1:13:40.240 --> 1:13:43.120 doesn't show up for work, just don't log him in. 1:13:43.160 --> 1:13:45.400 He's going to get doctor daypey right right, get fired 1:13:45.760 --> 1:13:49.880 right right. So even still though my time, my thirty 1:13:49.920 --> 1:13:52.160 years on active duty, I've had a lot of friends 1:13:52.160 --> 1:13:55.720 commit suicide. It is a I don't want to say 1:13:55.800 --> 1:13:59.240 it's a byproduct of combat. For the most part, PTSD 1:13:59.360 --> 1:14:02.320 happens not just in combat. It could be a horrific accident, 1:14:02.400 --> 1:14:06.920 somebody saw rights, it's some other dynamic that's created in 1:14:06.960 --> 1:14:10.920 the brain that causes an extreme fear that they can't 1:14:10.960 --> 1:14:13.880 climb away from right. And I will tell you after 1:14:14.000 --> 1:14:20.760 even sending my marines into extensive counseling, even where they 1:14:20.800 --> 1:14:24.840 stay in for weeks in the counselings and I still 1:14:24.880 --> 1:14:28.479 end up losing a marine. Just drives you to the 1:14:28.520 --> 1:14:31.799 pit of your heart that you could not get ahead 1:14:31.800 --> 1:14:33.439 of them and what they're struggling with. 1:14:34.160 --> 1:14:36.320 A part of this too, I guess you call it 1:14:36.320 --> 1:14:39.000 the deadly gap, right, Steve, is that you have the 1:14:39.040 --> 1:14:41.439 time where you're listed, you're a military, you get services 1:14:41.479 --> 1:14:43.479 all around your your overwhelmed with that stuff. If you 1:14:43.520 --> 1:14:46.360 did something's wrong, you gonna go okay by the time 1:14:46.400 --> 1:14:50.120 you you wind up being discharged, not really discharged, and 1:14:50.160 --> 1:14:51.960 by the time your VA benefits and you figure all 1:14:51.960 --> 1:14:54.479 that stuff out. There's a gap there. That's also huge 1:14:54.520 --> 1:14:57.040 deal is because we lose so many veterans because they 1:14:57.120 --> 1:14:58.600 don't know what to do. They're not being told what 1:14:58.720 --> 1:15:01.600 to do. That's part of that discan between transition military 1:15:01.680 --> 1:15:02.320 and the real world. 1:15:02.400 --> 1:15:04.320 There is so on a military just say we're talking 1:15:04.320 --> 1:15:07.600 about there is a daily I've got eyes on we 1:15:07.680 --> 1:15:09.720 call it, right, I've got eyes on Jones, I've got 1:15:09.720 --> 1:15:11.639 eyes on Smith, I've got eyes on Johnson. 1:15:12.040 --> 1:15:14.280 There's a hierarchy of command. You guys are working out 1:15:14.320 --> 1:15:14.599 for the. 1:15:14.640 --> 1:15:17.920 But there's also in the family set. If I came 1:15:17.960 --> 1:15:20.840 to work at seven hundred every day. I know Scott 1:15:20.840 --> 1:15:23.719 Sloan and his attitude every day. But the minute Scott 1:15:23.760 --> 1:15:27.080 Sloane starts hiding back here in his office, Sloaney doesn't 1:15:27.080 --> 1:15:29.800 come out and get coffee. Sloaney's not laughing with us 1:15:29.840 --> 1:15:33.920 in his usual character. I'm going something's changed about Sloaney. 1:15:34.360 --> 1:15:36.200 Let me go tap Sloani. What's going on, brother? 1:15:36.280 --> 1:15:36.679 Right right? 1:15:36.720 --> 1:15:37.599 And that's the way it works. 1:15:37.600 --> 1:15:39.960 In the military, we know our teams and we know 1:15:40.040 --> 1:15:43.240 their conduct, we know their attitude. So when things start 1:15:43.320 --> 1:15:47.360 to shift, it's an immediate comere. What's going on right right? 1:15:47.600 --> 1:15:50.200 And in the civilian world, I now transition back to 1:15:50.240 --> 1:15:54.120 being a civilian. There's nobody with eyes on me every 1:15:54.200 --> 1:15:58.360 day except my family, and sometimes the family's intimidated to 1:15:58.479 --> 1:16:00.720 ask Steve what's going on? 1:16:00.880 --> 1:16:01.439 Right? Right? 1:16:01.560 --> 1:16:03.479 Yeah? I get that. I get that whole thing, all right, 1:16:03.520 --> 1:16:07.160 So so Steve Belso back to Lisa. Listen, when when 1:16:07.200 --> 1:16:10.280 you see someone at the VA, who's going to typically 1:16:10.280 --> 1:16:12.240 who presents what are the what are the symptoms? Why 1:16:12.280 --> 1:16:12.760 are they there? 1:16:13.280 --> 1:16:15.600 Well, it can be a number of different symptoms, but 1:16:15.840 --> 1:16:18.840 most often somebody will come in and they might be expressing, 1:16:18.880 --> 1:16:21.920 you know, I feel really hopeless about my situation in life, 1:16:22.040 --> 1:16:25.040 or they might come out and say, hey, I'm I'm 1:16:25.080 --> 1:16:28.599 having suicidal thoughts, and then we work to really help 1:16:28.640 --> 1:16:31.559 that veteran and help them in areas that they need. 1:16:32.000 --> 1:16:34.640 So what it is, what is it that is uh 1:16:34.800 --> 1:16:37.680 they are struggling with. It could be addiction, which is 1:16:37.720 --> 1:16:42.479 a huge risk factor for veterans and you know people 1:16:42.479 --> 1:16:45.800 in the general population, but if they're having trouble with 1:16:46.240 --> 1:16:49.439 some type of addiction, oftentimes they don't know what the 1:16:49.479 --> 1:16:52.160 services are that are available to them. And once we 1:16:52.280 --> 1:16:57.640 tell them, hey, we have methodone treatment available, we have inpatient, 1:16:57.720 --> 1:17:00.680 we have residential treatment that we can help you with 1:17:00.720 --> 1:17:04.080 your addiction. Or it could be that they're having relationship issues, 1:17:04.120 --> 1:17:06.240 so it could be with a spouse and so we 1:17:06.280 --> 1:17:09.400 will get them engaged in that type of care. Or 1:17:09.479 --> 1:17:11.360 it could be that they really do need to be 1:17:11.400 --> 1:17:15.040 admitted to the hospital, to our inpatient psychiatric unit just 1:17:15.080 --> 1:17:17.599 to get a break, to actually be able to focus 1:17:17.640 --> 1:17:20.080 on what are the issues going on, and then we 1:17:20.120 --> 1:17:23.200 can help them and building the supports for them. So 1:17:23.240 --> 1:17:25.880 they present in a number of different ways. What's really 1:17:26.080 --> 1:17:29.880 awesome about the VA is we have open access, which 1:17:29.960 --> 1:17:33.760 means that you can walk in to any clinic and say, hey, 1:17:33.880 --> 1:17:36.519 I'm really struggling, I need to talk to someone, or 1:17:36.560 --> 1:17:39.559 I'm having suicidal thoughts, and we'll help you with whatever 1:17:39.600 --> 1:17:42.320 clinic you're in. It doesn't matter what clinic you're in. 1:17:42.439 --> 1:17:45.920 You can get open access where a counselor or a 1:17:45.960 --> 1:17:48.920 social worker psychiatrist will meet with you and work with 1:17:49.000 --> 1:17:50.280 you on whatever the problem is. 1:17:50.400 --> 1:17:52.759 All right, So let's pull that apart a little bit slowly. 1:17:52.960 --> 1:17:55.680 There's even where recently, maybe what year and a half, 1:17:55.680 --> 1:17:59.479 two years ago, the Compact Act was approved, and what 1:17:59.479 --> 1:18:03.000 the Compact Deck did is remove some veterans have a 1:18:03.000 --> 1:18:06.080 stigma with the VA. But it removed that stigma and 1:18:06.160 --> 1:18:10.040 stead that veteran can go to any hospital or physician 1:18:10.320 --> 1:18:12.960 to receive that care good and receive up to ninety 1:18:13.000 --> 1:18:16.240 days of care. So it's not just hey we're gonna 1:18:16.280 --> 1:18:19.479 take you down to the VA, right, Mom or dad, 1:18:19.960 --> 1:18:22.840 you can take your son or daughter to try Health 1:18:23.120 --> 1:18:27.760 Sat Elizabeth Christ Hospital, right, and it's get with your 1:18:27.880 --> 1:18:29.759 service or your county service officer. 1:18:30.000 --> 1:18:32.640 We file the paperwork. There's ninety days of support for 1:18:32.760 --> 1:18:33.400 your loved one. 1:18:33.439 --> 1:18:36.360 Okay, good to know. Again, it's just Steve Belso from 1:18:36.400 --> 1:18:39.639 Climat County Veteran Service Commission and Lisa Listen and she's 1:18:39.640 --> 1:18:42.360 a suicide prevention coordinator at the sin CVA, talking about 1:18:42.600 --> 1:18:45.280 veterans suicide rate and what can be done. And certainly 1:18:45.320 --> 1:18:47.519 a lot has been put into making sure that we're 1:18:47.520 --> 1:18:50.960 getting the health care for our veterans. That's eemingly possible. 1:18:51.520 --> 1:18:53.760 But for a family member, Lisa, that that's gonna be 1:18:53.760 --> 1:18:56.479 the hardest part is identifying the problem, but getting is, 1:18:56.640 --> 1:18:58.880 to Steve's point, getting them the care they need because 1:18:58.880 --> 1:19:01.120 you tend to be a little bit stubborn, right, you know, 1:19:01.160 --> 1:19:02.760 if someone else needs to care more than I do, 1:19:02.880 --> 1:19:04.960 I don't need it. I'm fined. How do you do that? 1:19:05.439 --> 1:19:07.400 So there's a couple of things to remember as a 1:19:07.400 --> 1:19:09.920 family member. First of all, we want to educate family 1:19:09.960 --> 1:19:12.839 members on what are the warning signs so they actually 1:19:12.880 --> 1:19:16.120 are aware that if a person is expressing I feel 1:19:16.120 --> 1:19:18.599 hopeless or I feel like there's no way out, they 1:19:18.680 --> 1:19:21.920 might be escalating their alcohol or drug use, they might 1:19:21.960 --> 1:19:26.240 be expressing lots of anxiety or rage and anger. Those 1:19:26.280 --> 1:19:30.120 can all be warning signs. So the first step is 1:19:30.160 --> 1:19:33.080 really what we have now as a public health strategy 1:19:33.360 --> 1:19:37.519 where we want to educate everyone in the community to 1:19:37.600 --> 1:19:40.679 try to get upstream with the veteran, so to notice 1:19:40.680 --> 1:19:45.200 those warning signs before something happens. Unfortunately, for many years, 1:19:45.240 --> 1:19:47.880 you know, it was until we knew about the crisis 1:19:47.960 --> 1:19:50.240 and now we're ready to help. But if we can 1:19:50.439 --> 1:19:53.720 educate our community to say, hey, here are the issues, 1:19:54.040 --> 1:19:56.360 here are the warning signs, and then we can help 1:19:56.400 --> 1:19:59.040 that person. So that's the first thing. The second thing 1:19:59.439 --> 1:20:02.800 is to let the family members know that they have 1:20:02.960 --> 1:20:07.360 twenty four hours support. If they believe that their veteran 1:20:07.560 --> 1:20:11.200 is struggling, they're in a suicidal crisis, they can call 1:20:11.240 --> 1:20:14.000 the Veteran's Crisis Line, which is the nine eight eight, 1:20:14.200 --> 1:20:16.360 and then you press one of your veteran or family 1:20:16.360 --> 1:20:19.680 member or a veteran. It's free and you don't then 1:20:19.800 --> 1:20:22.120 have to be the evaluator. You don't have to try 1:20:22.160 --> 1:20:25.040 to decide this is should I be worried about this 1:20:25.200 --> 1:20:27.920 or not. You can talk to the responder and most 1:20:27.960 --> 1:20:30.519 often the responder will say, hey, can we talk to 1:20:30.560 --> 1:20:34.519 the veteran, and then they'll do the immediate response and 1:20:34.640 --> 1:20:37.240 help the veteran then get to where they need to 1:20:37.280 --> 1:20:40.519 be and what's really nice about nine eight eight Press 1:20:40.640 --> 1:20:45.200 one is then if the veteran agrees, we then are 1:20:45.280 --> 1:20:48.360 received that phone number in that veteran's name, and at 1:20:48.479 --> 1:20:52.000 the Cincinnati VA we call that veteran within twenty four 1:20:52.000 --> 1:20:54.800 hours and we continue to help them to make sure 1:20:54.840 --> 1:20:57.360 that they're getting the services they need and get them 1:20:57.400 --> 1:20:58.680 engaged in the care they need. 1:20:58.760 --> 1:21:00.120 All right, then it all starts with a call to 1:21:00.400 --> 1:21:03.840 your county Veteran Services Commission like you and Clairemont County, 1:21:03.840 --> 1:21:05.720 Steve Belso and your team ready to go. You put 1:21:05.720 --> 1:21:07.760 her in touch with folks like Lisa and get them 1:21:07.760 --> 1:21:09.599 the help they need. But there shouldn't be a stigma 1:21:09.640 --> 1:21:11.400 of shame. I do something in my show is called 1:21:11.479 --> 1:21:13.840 Mental Health Monday. Every Monday we do a segment with 1:21:13.880 --> 1:21:16.479 a licensed mental health therapist and she's wonderful. We get 1:21:16.479 --> 1:21:19.880 a lot of input, people of questions, and there's still 1:21:19.920 --> 1:21:21.880 a stigma involved with us. I would imagine it's probably 1:21:21.960 --> 1:21:23.759 more so true in the military than anywhere. 1:21:23.880 --> 1:21:28.160 Absolutely there is there is one. We have to break 1:21:28.200 --> 1:21:30.280 this down to the common denominator. 1:21:30.520 --> 1:21:30.680 Right. 1:21:31.160 --> 1:21:34.280 We tend to talk about suicide and facets, right and 1:21:34.320 --> 1:21:38.280 how this looks, But the fact is anywhere in life. 1:21:39.000 --> 1:21:42.479 Life wants to grow, Life wants to live. I cut 1:21:42.520 --> 1:21:45.880 down a tree last week. It's already setting up new shoots. Right, 1:21:46.200 --> 1:21:48.400 Wait a minute, I cut the tree down. It is 1:21:49.360 --> 1:21:52.200 in the design the DNA of life on this earth 1:21:52.520 --> 1:21:56.479 to live. And if somebody decides they want to die, 1:21:57.400 --> 1:21:59.360 it's a sickness, it's a disease. 1:21:59.400 --> 1:22:00.879 Something has happened. 1:22:00.960 --> 1:22:04.880 It is not a quitter mentality that people tend to 1:22:05.040 --> 1:22:07.520 tagline it with because they don't understand. 1:22:08.000 --> 1:22:11.240 And it happens on active duty. Oh, he's just a quitter. 1:22:11.400 --> 1:22:15.759 No, something broke right, It is not natural for somebody 1:22:15.800 --> 1:22:19.960 to want to die. So that's number one two nine 1:22:20.040 --> 1:22:24.320 eight eight. Press one is step one. If you can 1:22:24.320 --> 1:22:27.200 get your veteran to talk to another veteran a nine 1:22:27.280 --> 1:22:30.120 eight eight, and then press one is a veteran on 1:22:30.160 --> 1:22:33.360 the other side of the line, start the initial conversation. 1:22:34.000 --> 1:22:36.720 That is not the end conversation. 1:22:37.479 --> 1:22:41.120 It needs to carry on to a licensed physician healthcare 1:22:41.600 --> 1:22:45.360 in the mental health side that can sit with Johnson 1:22:45.439 --> 1:22:48.720 Jones Smith and start pulling it back because you need 1:22:48.760 --> 1:22:53.000 to know what the very base layer of the issue is. 1:22:54.640 --> 1:22:58.000 A lot of times there's extra brainious things going on 1:22:58.160 --> 1:23:02.880 the attitude. I've become still, I've become reclues, but still 1:23:02.960 --> 1:23:06.599 yet there's something else deeper and a lot of For men, 1:23:07.439 --> 1:23:09.639 they don't want to give that up because they don't 1:23:09.640 --> 1:23:10.920 want to seem weak. 1:23:10.840 --> 1:23:13.639 Which is probably why you see higher suicide rates per 1:23:13.680 --> 1:23:16.840 capita in men than women, because women are we'll talk, 1:23:16.880 --> 1:23:18.760 we'll open Guys we shut up. We want to talk 1:23:18.800 --> 1:23:21.120 about sports and yeah, everything's fine, don't worry about it. 1:23:21.160 --> 1:23:21.639 Leave me alone. 1:23:21.640 --> 1:23:22.439 I'm tough. Leave me alone. 1:23:22.479 --> 1:23:24.479 Yeah, but I self medicate more than anyone else. 1:23:24.360 --> 1:23:26.560 Well, which is why Lisa is talking about all of 1:23:26.600 --> 1:23:31.240 the drugs. The addictions start because of what the very 1:23:31.479 --> 1:23:35.240 based foundation is that's going on with the suicidal ideations. 1:23:35.280 --> 1:23:36.840 Now I'm going to start self medicating. 1:23:38.000 --> 1:23:39.880 We also have learned a lot when it comes to 1:23:39.920 --> 1:23:43.800 suicide prevention and who is inclined to were predisposed to 1:23:43.840 --> 1:23:46.080 be suicidal? Right, So there's a reach VET program I 1:23:46.080 --> 1:23:48.559 think is what you call it, And that's all it's AI. 1:23:48.640 --> 1:23:51.840 It's predictive modeling and you can predict who's more like 1:23:52.200 --> 1:23:54.920 I guarantee it, but more likely to be suicidal or 1:23:54.920 --> 1:23:57.040 commit suicide than other members. How's that work? 1:23:57.160 --> 1:24:00.520 Right? So? Yeah, I'm actually the Reach VET program coordinator 1:24:00.560 --> 1:24:03.640 as well, and you're right. It is predictive modeling. And 1:24:03.680 --> 1:24:06.479 what they do is they pull from the veterans charts 1:24:07.000 --> 1:24:10.680 and they have like four hundred different risk factors that 1:24:10.760 --> 1:24:13.639 could put that person at risk for suicide, and then 1:24:13.680 --> 1:24:18.080 they take the top one percent in the facility that 1:24:18.200 --> 1:24:21.519 meet that criteria. Those names are sent to me and 1:24:21.560 --> 1:24:24.840 then I'd either contact them or if they have a 1:24:24.880 --> 1:24:28.400 provider already, the provider contacts them and tries to get 1:24:28.400 --> 1:24:33.479 them engaged in care. So it's another way to figure out, Okay, 1:24:33.520 --> 1:24:36.840 how can we reach veterans who maybe we wouldn't know 1:24:36.920 --> 1:24:40.080 about because they didn't say they were suicidal, but there 1:24:40.080 --> 1:24:41.519 were all these risk factors. 1:24:42.200 --> 1:24:44.040 How do you have that conversation with the VET Because 1:24:44.040 --> 1:24:46.120 all of a sudden my phone rings, it's you and Lisa. 1:24:46.120 --> 1:24:48.559 It's like, yeah, we think you know you're suicidal. I am, 1:24:50.000 --> 1:24:53.160 that's news to me. How do you brotech conversation? 1:24:53.720 --> 1:24:56.200 You're right, I do call them and I explain to 1:24:56.320 --> 1:24:59.679 them what this program really is. That what we're trying 1:24:59.680 --> 1:25:02.280 to do is look at what are all your risk factors? 1:25:02.280 --> 1:25:04.599 So when you go to the doctor, right, they might 1:25:04.680 --> 1:25:07.439 say you are at risk for a heart attack. Does 1:25:07.479 --> 1:25:09.840 it mean you're going to have art attack? No, but 1:25:10.320 --> 1:25:12.840 here are some signs that tell us if you keep 1:25:12.880 --> 1:25:15.600 eating the way you're eating right, you're probably going to 1:25:15.640 --> 1:25:18.000 have a heart attack. So we work with them in 1:25:18.000 --> 1:25:20.600 that way. I talk to them about that and I 1:25:20.680 --> 1:25:23.960 compare it to any other risk factor for different things, 1:25:24.280 --> 1:25:26.760 and then I explain to them, so what I want 1:25:26.800 --> 1:25:29.080 to check in with you about is have you been 1:25:29.120 --> 1:25:32.439 having any suicidal thoughts? And then that way, I can, 1:25:32.680 --> 1:25:36.000 you know, start the conversation about are you at risk? 1:25:36.040 --> 1:25:36.200 Now? 1:25:36.240 --> 1:25:39.400 Sometimes they say, well, now I'm not suicidal, that's great. 1:25:39.479 --> 1:25:42.240 Is there anything else we can do that would be 1:25:42.320 --> 1:25:46.800 helpful to you? So though even though they are not suicidal, again, 1:25:46.840 --> 1:25:50.240 this is getting more upstream, right, so we're saying, okay, 1:25:50.240 --> 1:25:52.840 but we still see these risk factors. Are there things 1:25:52.840 --> 1:25:54.360 going on in your life that we might be able 1:25:54.360 --> 1:25:54.920 to help you with? 1:25:55.000 --> 1:25:55.240 Okay? 1:25:55.320 --> 1:25:56.439 And so they might share that. 1:25:56.479 --> 1:25:57.479 Are they pretty responsive? 1:25:57.560 --> 1:25:57.880 Usually? 1:25:58.080 --> 1:26:01.479 Yeah, Usually they really appreciate that somebody is checking in 1:26:01.560 --> 1:26:02.400 to see how they're doing. 1:26:02.800 --> 1:26:04.599 If you have somebody on your side, right. 1:26:04.479 --> 1:26:06.559 That somebody's kind of looking out for me, you know, 1:26:06.800 --> 1:26:10.960 and are noticing things that maybe I don't even notice myself, 1:26:11.439 --> 1:26:13.960 or I might think, well, I shouldn't say anything because 1:26:14.160 --> 1:26:17.800 you know, I'm strong and I shouldn't say that I'm 1:26:17.880 --> 1:26:20.880 having a problem with this area. So it really normalizes in 1:26:20.920 --> 1:26:24.840 a way. Hey, lots of people have suicidal thoughts. Lots 1:26:24.840 --> 1:26:28.439 of people go under a tremendous amount of stress and 1:26:28.880 --> 1:26:31.439 sometimes they have suicidal thoughts, and we want to be 1:26:31.479 --> 1:26:33.519 able to help you with that. So yeah, it's been 1:26:33.640 --> 1:26:35.240 it's been a wonderful program. 1:26:35.280 --> 1:26:38.360 See belso with the Claremont County Veteran Services Commission. So 1:26:38.800 --> 1:26:41.240 if someone's a veteran family member of a veteran and 1:26:41.479 --> 1:26:43.479 maybe you think there's something going on here you need help, 1:26:43.560 --> 1:26:45.680 just reach out to you guys in Claremont County or 1:26:45.840 --> 1:26:48.320 whatever county it is you're listening in, and we get 1:26:48.360 --> 1:26:50.400 the same level of help in all the counties or 1:26:50.400 --> 1:26:50.760 just years. 1:26:50.840 --> 1:26:53.200 That is, that is one of two, right, we can 1:26:53.240 --> 1:26:55.840 help stare in the right direction. Yes, that is every 1:26:55.840 --> 1:27:02.840 county in Ohio. The fastest way is press one. Got it, 1:27:02.840 --> 1:27:05.920 it's easy, it's sticky, it's it's it's not a ten 1:27:05.960 --> 1:27:08.160 digit number and you're trying to Oh my gosh, I 1:27:08.200 --> 1:27:11.880 missed it nine eight eight. If a civilian stop there, 1:27:12.240 --> 1:27:14.719 there's someone there to talk to you. If you're a veteran, 1:27:15.160 --> 1:27:17.639 it will tell you in the voice recording press one 1:27:18.000 --> 1:27:21.200 and that route you to another veteran that's on the 1:27:21.240 --> 1:27:22.600 other side of the outstanding. 1:27:22.920 --> 1:27:24.000 It's a great program. 1:27:24.120 --> 1:27:27.800 Now let's let's be honest, though, Sony, all of this programming, 1:27:27.880 --> 1:27:32.759 we still don't have the cure all for suicide. Numbers 1:27:32.800 --> 1:27:37.000 are going down phenomenal. In Claremont County. My numbers have risen, 1:27:37.040 --> 1:27:40.640 though nationally we're going down. So sometimes we have to 1:27:40.640 --> 1:27:46.080 look for factors in the community, why is this happening 1:27:46.320 --> 1:27:50.719 in my county? But then even on active duty setting marines, 1:27:51.439 --> 1:27:55.840 they're way for two three weeks constant care under a 1:27:55.840 --> 1:28:00.000 physician's care, and then released and then it's they start 1:28:00.160 --> 1:28:00.920 unspooling again. 1:28:01.040 --> 1:28:01.160 Right. 1:28:01.200 --> 1:28:04.920 There are some horrific scenes that the military members have 1:28:04.960 --> 1:28:08.519 to go through. That's just war, and sometimes you can't 1:28:08.520 --> 1:28:11.400 get ahead of them. And they're still One of my 1:28:11.439 --> 1:28:14.639 marines called in and he's telling his buddies goodbye after 1:28:14.680 --> 1:28:19.080 spending over probably two months at the healthcare in house 1:28:19.240 --> 1:28:22.600 in the hospital, and the senior leader says, hang on 1:28:22.800 --> 1:28:24.559 I'm going to get this R major on the phone. 1:28:24.600 --> 1:28:27.960 He says, no, he'll stop me, and then hung up 1:28:27.960 --> 1:28:31.320 the phone. Oh god, they are determined, right, It's just 1:28:31.600 --> 1:28:37.040 the weight becomes so heavy and so really it's early 1:28:37.200 --> 1:28:41.040 identification and getting ahead of this so you can move 1:28:41.080 --> 1:28:44.840 it away before it's a millstone where they believe it 1:28:44.880 --> 1:28:45.519 cannot be right. 1:28:45.600 --> 1:28:47.800 Something like forty percent of the veterans comming EXSUTI that 1:28:47.960 --> 1:28:51.160 under care of a VA physician, and that's that's frightening. 1:28:51.160 --> 1:28:54.160 But again nine eight eight plus one is the number 1:28:54.280 --> 1:28:56.759 regardless of where you are. But again it's Steve Belso, 1:28:56.880 --> 1:28:59.160 Claremont County Veteran Service Commission on lease a listed of 1:28:59.160 --> 1:29:01.519 course of the TV.

This just makes you grundier. 1:30:41.280 --> 1:30:42.880 Yeah, no, it's all good though. 1:30:43.640 --> 1:30:43.840 Uh. 1:30:43.880 --> 1:30:45.800 And I come back not only to you, but a 1:30:45.880 --> 1:30:46.679 very special guest. 1:30:46.800 --> 1:30:51.920 Yes, Rogers brought into special guest, washed up meteorologist. 1:30:52.120 --> 1:30:52.960 Yeah. 1:30:53.000 --> 1:30:55.320 You might have heard his voice before on the station 1:30:55.479 --> 1:30:57.880 several times, whether it's talking about the weather or talking 1:30:57.960 --> 1:31:00.000 about whiskey. 1:31:00.080 --> 1:31:04.800 Friend Brandon about that this battery died this morning. So 1:31:05.320 --> 1:31:06.040 part of the reason. 1:31:05.840 --> 1:31:13.400 Why, Okay, I thought there was a euphemism for something. Yeah, 1:31:13.479 --> 1:31:15.240 I got a doctor gets just a medicine from that. 1:31:16.640 --> 1:31:20.960 But happy to be here. Forecast looks good this weekend. 1:31:21.080 --> 1:31:21.280 Huh. 1:31:21.840 --> 1:31:26.120 Sure doesn't here about that anymore now. So yeah, you 1:31:26.120 --> 1:31:28.000 you and I've had you on before in the past 1:31:28.000 --> 1:31:33.000 and talking about where where weather intercedes with bourbon so 1:31:33.160 --> 1:31:35.040 dusk whiskey weather, and people go, how the hell. 1:31:34.880 --> 1:31:38.240 Has that come together? They're parallel, right. Without the weather, 1:31:38.280 --> 1:31:40.439 you don't have the whiskey. If you don't have that 1:31:40.520 --> 1:31:43.120 heat cycling, you don't have the coloring of the whiskey, 1:31:43.120 --> 1:31:44.200 you don't have the aging of the whiskey. 1:31:44.240 --> 1:31:46.280 It's just clear liquid in a barrel. Is that why 1:31:46.280 --> 1:31:49.200 they don't make whiskey in Arizona? They do make it, 1:31:49.200 --> 1:31:52.599 it's just not how good the weather never changes there 1:31:52.760 --> 1:31:55.639 like San Diego. It's always a contro to staff for sure. 1:31:55.680 --> 1:31:57.559 I suppose yeh. It's hot and up and down. 1:31:57.760 --> 1:32:00.360 Yeah, that's what makes it good the state. 1:32:00.439 --> 1:32:03.679 So the higher the greater temperature disparity in weather cycles, 1:32:03.720 --> 1:32:06.400 the better the bourbon, you would think. So not always. 1:32:06.479 --> 1:32:08.360 It's there's a whole lot of different factors, but the 1:32:08.360 --> 1:32:10.400 weather does have a big impact in it, like that 1:32:10.439 --> 1:32:13.400 with the the I call it heat cycle. Some people 1:32:13.439 --> 1:32:17.080 will just call it heat seasons. But the more in 1:32:17.160 --> 1:32:18.599 and out of the barrel that you can get between 1:32:18.600 --> 1:32:20.759 the heat and cold cycles, the better the whiskey. 1:32:20.840 --> 1:32:22.880 I love the science of that too. That's just fascinating 1:32:22.880 --> 1:32:26.120 to me. Like you, Jefferson's ocean is gimmicky, but you 1:32:26.120 --> 1:32:29.360 think about it like that's really interesting because it's traveling 1:32:29.360 --> 1:32:31.800 in a boat around the words, getting sloshed around for 1:32:31.920 --> 1:32:34.200 a year, and it's going to different climates and stuff 1:32:34.240 --> 1:32:34.400 like that. 1:32:34.479 --> 1:32:36.840 Yeah, you're not only adding the climate element, you're also 1:32:36.880 --> 1:32:38.599 adding the physical movement. 1:32:38.760 --> 1:32:41.680 Yeah. Yeah, so it's slashing stuff around and there, just like. 1:32:41.600 --> 1:32:44.880 That Metallica one where they're doing that music. They're playing 1:32:44.920 --> 1:32:48.880 music through the entire ricout to let the vibrations create 1:32:48.960 --> 1:32:51.040 the issues in the barrels that bring the whiskey in. 1:32:50.960 --> 1:32:52.599 And out right. That could be a gimmick too. 1:32:52.600 --> 1:32:57.439 But yeah, the Metallica whiskey was not good, respectfully on marketing. 1:32:57.840 --> 1:32:58.360 She said it. 1:32:58.520 --> 1:32:59.400 Yeah, it was not good. 1:32:59.400 --> 1:33:01.680 Respect You missed out because you were I think you 1:33:01.680 --> 1:33:03.679 were undergoing surgery at that time. We were at Kentucky 1:33:03.680 --> 1:33:06.640 Bourbon Festival too. I had a chance. I actually have 1:33:06.680 --> 1:33:09.160 it on my list. Here is a couple whiskey whiskey 1:33:09.160 --> 1:33:09.840 picks of the week. 1:33:10.000 --> 1:33:11.040 Okay, I guess we can just start. 1:33:11.040 --> 1:33:11.800 Why don't we start with that. 1:33:11.920 --> 1:33:12.320 Let's start with that. 1:33:12.400 --> 1:33:14.719 Let's jump right so again Zally Martin local Loop brandes 1:33:14.760 --> 1:33:18.080 spinners here and does whiskey Weather and I've talked about 1:33:18.120 --> 1:33:21.639 everything to eat, se do, and especially drink this weekend 1:33:21.640 --> 1:33:23.920 in Cincinnati. Believe me, if you're going down to the 1:33:23.920 --> 1:33:25.639 Bengals game, you need to start drinking now. 1:33:26.120 --> 1:33:26.639 Right now. 1:33:26.800 --> 1:33:28.200 And if you want to pick up a bottle of 1:33:28.240 --> 1:33:31.240 something a little different, this is my whiskey pick of 1:33:31.280 --> 1:33:34.479 the week. It's Burton James. Have you ever heard of 1:33:34.520 --> 1:33:35.360 Burton James. 1:33:35.800 --> 1:33:38.599 I think there's like a bass player for like deep purple, 1:33:38.720 --> 1:33:38.960 wasn't it. 1:33:39.080 --> 1:33:44.240 Now he did play baseball, all right, not a bass player. 1:33:44.640 --> 1:33:47.480 So down at Kentucky Bourbon Festival, which happens in Bartstown 1:33:47.520 --> 1:33:51.200 every year, really fun time. I mean dozens and dozens 1:33:51.320 --> 1:33:52.360 of distilleries. 1:33:52.400 --> 1:33:53.679 You have five sixty five. 1:33:53.720 --> 1:33:55.400 You have your big distilleries, but then you also have 1:33:55.439 --> 1:33:57.479 your fun little craft distilleries and that's usually where those 1:33:57.520 --> 1:34:00.160 hidden gems are. And one of the best things do 1:34:00.280 --> 1:34:01.760 is try to, you know, go around talk to the 1:34:01.800 --> 1:34:04.840 owners and I hopefully maybe find a pick that you 1:34:04.880 --> 1:34:08.080 would be pleasantly surprised. Okay, this one out of came 1:34:08.120 --> 1:34:11.320 out of left field, U pun intended. Is Burton James, 1:34:11.360 --> 1:34:14.080 as I said, And the foundation in the background of 1:34:14.120 --> 1:34:17.479 this is it's based off of a great grandfather, but 1:34:17.520 --> 1:34:21.800 more importantly at professional baseball player named Burton James, and 1:34:21.840 --> 1:34:24.559 the whole brand around it is based on baseball. 1:34:24.960 --> 1:34:27.280 So the branding, the labeling, it's cool. 1:34:27.479 --> 1:34:30.360 The labeling itself has you know that old school basically 1:34:30.439 --> 1:34:31.760 like a Wrigleyville scoreboard. 1:34:32.000 --> 1:34:33.720 Yes, almost like a newspaper. 1:34:33.960 --> 1:34:37.559 Cool, all right, really cool, And they have a weeded, 1:34:37.640 --> 1:34:41.200 a ten year weeded, which I was so pleasantly surprised about. 1:34:41.240 --> 1:34:42.600 They have two, they have a one o seven and 1:34:42.600 --> 1:34:43.360 they have one eleven. 1:34:43.360 --> 1:34:45.920 I walked away with the one oh seven and I 1:34:46.120 --> 1:34:49.240 was not expecting I wasn't expecting anything from it, but 1:34:49.439 --> 1:34:51.280 it was I one came out of left field. And 1:34:51.320 --> 1:34:53.000 if you have a chance to check it out, it's 1:34:53.000 --> 1:34:56.639 called Burton James b U R T O N James. 1:34:56.680 --> 1:34:58.760 All right, so people here wheeded bourbon and they think 1:34:58.800 --> 1:34:59.960 I was wheat. 1:35:00.360 --> 1:35:02.560 Yeah, that's one of the ingredients. So in order for 1:35:02.600 --> 1:35:04.519 it to a just all wheat, no, in order to 1:35:04.560 --> 1:35:06.200 be awful. In order for it to be a bourbon, 1:35:06.240 --> 1:35:07.880 it has to be at least fifty one percent corn. 1:35:07.920 --> 1:35:10.240 So when they say it's a weeded bourbon, it's the 1:35:10.280 --> 1:35:13.680 second highest ingredient within that mash bill. So if it's 1:35:13.680 --> 1:35:16.599 fifty one percent corn, you maybe have forty five percent wheat, 1:35:16.760 --> 1:35:19.000 and then the rest is made up of malted barley 1:35:19.120 --> 1:35:21.280 or whatever kind of grain. Usually they deal with multed barley. 1:35:21.280 --> 1:35:24.160 I think this one is fifty one percent corner wheat, 1:35:24.360 --> 1:35:25.559 four percent multed barley. 1:35:26.080 --> 1:35:27.559 All right, for those who don't know, that does what 1:35:27.640 --> 1:35:31.280 to the play the flavor of profile wheat sweet rye 1:35:31.520 --> 1:35:32.439 a little spicy. 1:35:33.240 --> 1:35:34.479 So yeah, this is a little bit more in the 1:35:34.520 --> 1:35:35.040 sweeter end. 1:35:35.040 --> 1:35:36.680 I think we'd say the one O seven, the one 1:35:36.680 --> 1:35:39.519 that I walked away with has I mean you've tasted 1:35:39.600 --> 1:35:42.639 as well, Brandon, but I feel like it has almost 1:35:42.640 --> 1:35:45.880 like a marshmallowy, creamy tone to it. And then we 1:35:45.920 --> 1:35:48.040 both were discussing it almost kind of also has it 1:35:48.160 --> 1:35:51.680 starts with a little bit of that like McDonald's apple 1:35:51.360 --> 1:35:52.799 apple pie crust. 1:35:52.960 --> 1:35:55.080 Yeah, yeah, it's really it's quite lovely. 1:35:55.200 --> 1:35:56.840 Why don't they start making their shakes for that? 1:35:57.160 --> 1:36:02.040 Yeah, if it's that's the trick, it doesn't work. 1:36:02.479 --> 1:36:03.280 It doesn't work. 1:36:03.560 --> 1:36:03.880 All right. 1:36:03.960 --> 1:36:06.280 So you're a little little about bourbon today as well. 1:36:06.320 --> 1:36:06.920 What was going on? 1:36:07.120 --> 1:36:07.439 All right? 1:36:07.479 --> 1:36:10.040 Well, the Donna Schwaben october Fest is happening because you 1:36:10.120 --> 1:36:12.200 also were out of remission.

Neither one of you has 1:36:38.040 --> 1:36:40.519 a slang or some sort of apparatus on like I do. 1:36:40.600 --> 1:36:41.120 So that's good. 1:36:41.200 --> 1:36:41.559 That's good. 1:36:41.560 --> 1:36:43.240 That's a good start. I thought you might have been 1:36:43.280 --> 1:36:44.519 walking away with a cast that day though. 1:36:44.920 --> 1:36:46.720 I literally thought I broke my th if I came 1:36:46.760 --> 1:36:48.760 in here and you were wearing like a sling and 1:36:48.800 --> 1:36:53.519 because you you injured it in October cast, how'd you 1:36:53.520 --> 1:36:56.439 break your thumb?

You could do a log song contest 1:38:47.040 --> 1:38:48.600 because they're going to have that there as part of 1:38:48.600 --> 1:38:49.360 their entertainment. 1:38:49.960 --> 1:38:51.800 So is that one that the log is like up 1:38:51.840 --> 1:38:53.000 in the air and you got to cut it down 1:38:53.040 --> 1:38:56.040 and let it fall. Have you seen those? No, you 1:38:56.040 --> 1:38:59.559 don't need to there's no climent. They've got to cut 1:38:59.560 --> 1:39:01.080 it down and it's got to fall. 1:39:01.360 --> 1:39:04.719 Oh yeah, yeah. I thought was like, just how fast 1:39:04.720 --> 1:39:05.559 you can cut through the tree? 1:39:05.600 --> 1:39:07.519 You ever watch that on like ESPN eight on THEO 1:39:07.640 --> 1:39:10.840 or something like that, where that's the the it's stres incredible, 1:39:10.880 --> 1:39:11.839 like the steel chainsaw. 1:39:12.680 --> 1:39:14.799 Let's move a plane because you're like what. 1:39:14.760 --> 1:39:16.840 No, No, they climb.
