Speaker 1: Hey, how you doing. Beautiful Saturday afternoon in the Tri
Speaker 1: State Big Football bear Cats win Scott Sadersfield's guys rolling
Speaker 1: to five in a row over a UCF football team.
Speaker 1: Going back to Florida Losers twenty eleven over a bear Cats.
Speaker 1: What a nice tribute, by the way, to Jim Kelly
Speaker 1: on the big screen there at Nippert. If you didn't
Speaker 1: get a chance to watch, I was listening and watching
Speaker 1: at the same time, and it's popped up all over
Speaker 1: X as well at Sterling Radios where I am. You
Speaker 1: can get interactive. I'm Sterling shawm ac Man keep me
Speaker 1: in line. A lot of ground to cover this afternoon.
Speaker 1: You may have heard in the news closer to peace
Speaker 1: and returning of hostages and those who did not survive
Speaker 1: after the October seventh attack that left us some twelve
Speaker 1: hundred dead, and this thing that has gone on in
Speaker 1: Guysa for an extended period of time over this window.
Speaker 1: President Trump making his way there will be speaking to
Speaker 1: Knesset on I believe Monday, and then going to Egypt
Speaker 1: to sort of hammer out final details or at least
Speaker 1: the next step in it. It's a very fragile piece,
Speaker 1: to say the least, but hopefully a little closer to
Speaker 1: some normalcy, because it does look like a moonscape in
Speaker 1: and around Gaza. Other stuff to get to James Rapine
Speaker 1: locked on Bengals, Gonna have a conversation with him. I
Speaker 1: already had it. Actually you'll hear it a little bit later,
Speaker 1: talking Bengals Packers, Joe Flacco trading Joe's tow obviously, and
Speaker 1: then you got a Flacco trade, which is a kind
Speaker 1: of a weird scenario, talk about Joe Flacco being in
Speaker 1: Bengals stripes, but he made the trip from Cleveland. He
Speaker 1: beat the Packers a couple of weeks ago. That is
Speaker 1: very rarefied air to have someone playing for different teams
Speaker 1: beat the same team twice, same season, just a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks apart. But that's the hope. With a late
Speaker 1: four to twenty five kickoff tomorrow in full all coverage
Speaker 1: here on seven hundred double ULW a number of things
Speaker 1: to you have to also, Diane Keaton passed away a
Speaker 1: movie leg and we'll touch on that a little bit later.
Speaker 1: From the sounds, you heard Matt Reese's news from the Godfather,
Speaker 1: or at least Godfather Part two. I was hoping to
Speaker 1: hear Pacino in part of that. So maybe we'll pull
Speaker 1: that up too, because that whole scene there was bizarre
Speaker 1: and troubling on a whole lot of levels. So best
Speaker 1: of her family. She just is seventy nine years old, which,
Speaker 1: on one hand, when you're younger, seems old. On the
Speaker 1: other hand, as time ticks by you, that doesn't seem
Speaker 1: that old. And I just saw her, I think, on
Speaker 1: Graham Norton Show not long ago, sneaking kisses from a
Speaker 1: whole lot of people, which was kind of wild. So
Speaker 1: and she did a bunch of Woody Allen movies as well.
Speaker 1: All Right, I want to ask this is a very
Speaker 1: strange question, and this is where I want to start,
Speaker 1: because I'm feeling a little I've not eaten. And it's
Speaker 1: not because I don't have access to food. It's not
Speaker 1: because I've run out of food. It's not because I
Speaker 1: don't have cash in my pocket. I can get some
Speaker 1: food if I want to. But here's the question, what
Speaker 1: is the dumbest thing you have done for a woman
Speaker 1: or a man in your life, a significant other under
Speaker 1: there pressure? Normally my co host Donnade is here and
Speaker 1: she's often talking about fasting and cleanses and all these
Speaker 1: other healthy things. And I am a frequent flyer of
Speaker 1: certain drive throughs. They know when I'm getting my three
Speaker 1: way in my Greek salad and sometimes two or three
Speaker 1: chili cheese with onions and mustard Coney's. They know me
Speaker 1: when I'm getting the square burgers and I'm getting the
Speaker 1: combo with the fries and the biggie sized iced tea.
Speaker 1: So I'm in a weird place. Woman, I know a
Speaker 1: friend of mine. Let's just say, she's like, you need
Speaker 1: to fast and be good for you and get cleansed,
Speaker 1: and we'll do this together. So I had pancakes last
Speaker 1: night because I figured that was a good meal, a
Speaker 1: good way to sort of get prepared for this. And
Speaker 1: all I can tell you is before I got on
Speaker 1: seventy five to come in here, I'm down wind from
Speaker 1: a drive through that I am familiar with, and I
Speaker 1: was getting wafts of air of good grubbing stuff. But
Speaker 1: by held strong and then driving in, I'm starting to
Speaker 1: I've gone through a time and a place where I've
Speaker 1: I seem like I've been starving. I saw the dog
Speaker 1: eat this morning, the turtle late I have not eaten
Speaker 1: and now I'm in an odd place where I'm not
Speaker 1: necessarily hungry, but I know that I need to be eating.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna wait and see. She wants to wait
Speaker 1: till tomorrow, but I'm thinking what I'm done out of here.
Speaker 1: After six, I'll be hitting a drive through, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure we'll see how that goes. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven,
Speaker 1: eight hundred, the big one. Pick up the phone, give
Speaker 1: it the finger, talk back iHeartRadio app you can click
Speaker 1: on the microphone. I want to know how long you've
Speaker 1: gone without eating, in addition to the dumbest thing you've
Speaker 1: done for the person that you care about in your
Speaker 1: life that supposedly cares for you as well. Telling me
Speaker 1: the thing that I need to go without food seems insane.
Speaker 1: Maybe for religious purposes high holy days and fasting from
Speaker 1: sundown sun up, sun up to sun down, depending that
Speaker 1: that's a fair common thing, but just randomly for this
Speaker 1: or even before the colonoscopy, the endoscopy deal where they
Speaker 1: take the camera and take a look in your insights
Speaker 1: from the rear end, which just saying that makes me
Speaker 1: unnerved and uncomfortable, which I think annually is one of
Speaker 1: those things if you get to be a certain age,
Speaker 1: you know in your family history, they start wanting to
Speaker 1: check that or at least a shmear of some of
Speaker 1: your other stuff in that way. So that's a different
Speaker 1: thing for health purposes. And then you get stuff that
Speaker 1: you consume that's supposed to help get stuff moving or
Speaker 1: empty you out, which sorry I went there, I just
Speaker 1: but that's what I feel like I should be preparing
Speaker 1: for right now is I'm frankly starving. I have had coffee,
Speaker 1: which is also dangerous, and I will shift to iced
Speaker 1: ta post haste. But I want to know what is
Speaker 1: the dumbest thing you've done for significant under in your life,
Speaker 1: and also the longest you've gone without eating? Now, I
Speaker 1: mean I randomly will see people as I get on
Speaker 1: seventy one here Montgomery Road once in a while other
Speaker 1: places around town. You'll be at a red light, an
Speaker 1: on ramp or an off ramp of seventy one or
Speaker 1: seventy five, and you'll see a sign I'm hungry, please
Speaker 1: help me. And I'm not making light of it. Food
Speaker 1: insecurity is a serious issue, but not eating by choice
Speaker 1: is kind of a strange thing. What is the longest
Speaker 1: you've gone and that's a problem, I guess, And depending
Speaker 1: on how you're living and how your life is going,
Speaker 1: I f I've won three seven, four, nine, seven, eight hundred,
Speaker 1: the big one. Your chance to get interactive later. Also
Speaker 1: some conversation about the Delta eight hemp sale moratorium. These
Speaker 1: stores that have been selling it with that carve out
Speaker 1: of the farm bill from a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: I think it was twenty eighteen, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1: Just going off the top of my head, limited a
Speaker 1: space where it could be sold, and has been in
Speaker 1: many cases gas stations, the smoke shops, et cetera. I
Speaker 1: know some people who are in that business. They tell
Speaker 1: me they're going to lose a whole lot of money
Speaker 1: not being able to sell these and these have been
Speaker 1: good actors in that business. What I mean by that
Speaker 1: is they don't sell the kids. They keep behind the
Speaker 1: counter and not selling it with the look of candy
Speaker 1: or something else. But there's been a problem with people
Speaker 1: not handling that correctly, and Governor de Wine has stepped
Speaker 1: in with a moratorium on it. So by Tuesday they
Speaker 1: got to get it off the shelf, whether by liquidation,
Speaker 1: sale or otherwise, or face some stepp penalties which could
Speaker 1: put them out of business depending or hurt their pocket
Speaker 1: in a major way. So we'll touch on that as well.
Speaker 1: Big win you see football bear Cats twenty eleven over
Speaker 1: UCF Sadderfields, guys looking to find their way as they
Speaker 1: roll to their fifth win in a row. Could very
Speaker 1: well be if the things go right, one would think
Speaker 1: in top twenty five rankings. We'll see how it goes.
Speaker 1: Quick break, come back. James Rapeen later also joining me
Speaker 1: conversation we had talking Bengals as they hit the road
Speaker 1: to face off a Green Bay on Sunday afternoon. WHI
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco under center, appreciate you being here. It's a
Speaker 1: beautiful day in the Tri State. I'm stirling in this
Speaker 1: a seven hundred double welw tikes seventies. Next couple of
Speaker 1: days close to eighty actually Monday and Tuesday. I'm holding
Speaker 1: onto the warrant, but I busted out the long pants again,
Speaker 1: which I try to avoid unless it's like a meeting
Speaker 1: where it's required for, you know, appropriate a tire, weddings
Speaker 1: or funerals basically, but showing up here, I mean, who cares.
Speaker 1: I'm on the radio and streaming on I heard an
Speaker 1: app podcast not on TV because I got a face
Speaker 1: for radio. It's a seventy two now your severe weather
Speaker 1: station seven hundred WLW wanted to know one the most
Speaker 1: unusual thing you've done or dumbest thing for the person
Speaker 1: that you care about in your life. I'm fasting now.
Speaker 1: I'm into my second day. I'm not hallucinating yet, but
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I'm stupid for doing this. I don't know
Speaker 1: what good comes from not eating for an extended period
Speaker 1: of time. So no, how long you've gone without eating,
Speaker 1: a fasting for whatever reason, and maybe the dumbest thing
Speaker 1: you've done after you see football win twenty eleven or
Speaker 1: UCF and Nancy actually on the way home from Nippert,
Speaker 1: Now was Stirling on the Big One than Marty? In
Speaker 1: room for you? Five three, seven, four, nine hundred the
Speaker 1: big One? Nancy? How are you when you're well.
Speaker 2: We're celebrating the six win, which is terrific.
Speaker 1: You good time? What was it? What was the energy
Speaker 1: really like? By the way at Knippert, I mean good feeling,
Speaker 1: good vibes as they say, it was just like last week.
Speaker 2: Last week the energy was just phenomenal. It was a
Speaker 2: little bit more low.
Speaker 1: Key today, but still a win. So you got to
Speaker 1: like that a win to win, and.
Speaker 2: We can't wait to go ahead and get to a.
Speaker 1: Bowl game this year, one game away from guaranteeing that.
Speaker 1: Sean McMahon was concerned. He's like, I gotta get one more.
Speaker 1: I'm like, they'd have to really like fail, like just
Speaker 1: drop off the face of the earth, uh, to not
Speaker 1: get their six win. I think they're in fine shape.
Speaker 3: What else do you have, Nancy to Well, I have
Speaker 3: one of the dumbest things that ever did for my huts.
Speaker 2: And he's sitting right next to me were we were
Speaker 2: on vacation and we were going to head to Puerto Rico.
Speaker 2: He wanted to do a zipline tour and I said,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pray to hikes. I don't think I could
Speaker 2: do it. He goes, look, this is a tree top
Speaker 2: zip line, little kids, grandparents to do it. You can
Speaker 2: do it too. And I said, fine, So we go
Speaker 2: on the zipline tour. If they drive us to the
Speaker 2: top of.
Speaker 3: A mountain and said, you will go off of this mountain,
Speaker 3: you will go, well, stop across the this is and
Speaker 3: ravine and across tree.
Speaker 2: Tops and you'll finally get to the bottom. I said, please, please, please,
Speaker 2: don't don't make me go. I'm on my knee, I'm crying,
Speaker 2: I'm in tears, and they said, we're sorry. Once you're here,
Speaker 2: can't tear around. They wouldn't let me go with my
Speaker 2: husband no, so they made me go first and him
Speaker 2: follow well. Two and a half hours later.
Speaker 3: I finally make it down the hill.
Speaker 2: I'm on my knees, I'm kissing the ground, and I'm
Speaker 2: begging him, please don't ever make me do this again
Speaker 2: a third.
Speaker 1: Now, is that something you look back on fondly? You
Speaker 1: don't sound like that, like sometimes you do something you're
Speaker 1: scared of and you go, You know, that was great,
Speaker 1: it was invigorating. I'm so glad I did it. You
Speaker 1: sound like you still have remorse.
Speaker 2: I still have remorse. I got back to the ship,
Speaker 2: I laid down for an hour, took a nap, went
Speaker 2: to dinner, and our server came out and said, hey,
Speaker 2: I heard you was siplining today. I started crying again
Speaker 2: and left. Oh yeah, will horrible, horrible.
Speaker 1: You're pretty strong and hopefully he had fun at least,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that in the future you got one
Speaker 1: in your pocket. To play back and say I did
Speaker 1: this for you, so now it's your turn, Nancy. I
Speaker 1: appreciate you listening, being a part of the show. Up
Speaker 1: you do it again sometime soon. Be safe getting home
Speaker 1: quickly to Monroe. Then we got Marty and Mike. Marty,
Speaker 1: what's up. What do you have the longest you've gone
Speaker 1: without eating?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've gone ten days a couple of times days. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and I usually, you know, the first time I ever
Speaker 4: did it, I think I went three days and just
Speaker 4: using water. And then I read a book called The
Speaker 4: Master Cleanser, and I found in the health food store
Speaker 4: and it had a recipe for making a drink and
Speaker 4: I extrapolated it out to make a gallon. So it
Speaker 4: came to like six lemons, medium sized lemons, eight ounces
Speaker 4: of pure maple syrup, and a teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Speaker 4: and mix that with in a gallon jug with purified water.
Speaker 4: In fact, I'm doing another cleansing fast right now. But uh,
Speaker 4: it cleans out and uh after after a while, after
Speaker 4: a day or two, you're not hungry anymore because you're
Speaker 4: drinking this stuff. The cayenne pepper is giving you energy.
Speaker 4: The the maple syrup is burning slowly rather than like
Speaker 4: sugar or honey would be burning faster. And uh it's
Speaker 4: it cleans out and it gives you mental, physical, and
Speaker 4: spiritual rejuvenation.
Speaker 1: Well, I could use some rejuvenation, but I'm not feeling
Speaker 1: very rejuvenated right now. It might be the Cayenn pepper, Marty.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. Ten days seems monumental and extreme. Mike,
Speaker 1: can you get this internet less than a minute? As
Speaker 1: your turn was sterling on the big one?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 4: Can?
Speaker 6: What are you fast for?
Speaker 1: Starling? A woman?
Speaker 7: A woman tell you? Yeah, three days is probably the first. Well,
Speaker 7: what you want to do? U after the first day
Speaker 7: in the day in the day two, you're not hunger anymore.
Speaker 7: Your body is eating the fat that you got your
Speaker 7: stored U in your body there, I'll all probably a
Speaker 7: little fatter than you are, so I can usually go
Speaker 7: a little further without you know, too much going on.
Speaker 7: I usually do seven days now, just a to you
Speaker 7: don't you're not hunger anymore?
Speaker 6: Who knows?
Speaker 5: Do water?
Speaker 7: Coffee and tea?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 1: Why? Though? I mean, what does the motivation to do?
Speaker 7: Just to reset my reset my body? I go to
Speaker 7: go out to using fat as a source of energy
Speaker 7: as opposed to sugar. Okay, that's why I do it,
Speaker 7: just kind of reset the body to use fat storage
Speaker 7: is suppose of sugar for my energy. So I do
Speaker 7: that probably once every two months. I'll do like a
Speaker 7: seven day fast, just water, coffee and team Wow.
Speaker 1: All right, well maybe we're on the right path. I'm
Speaker 1: not feeling it right now, but you guys seem very
Speaker 1: confident you're still alive.
Speaker 7: And take the day three buddy, try to get to
Speaker 7: day three.
Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see. I don't know. Tomorrow, during that
Speaker 1: Bengals game, I feel like I might be stuffing a
Speaker 1: lot of food and beverages of one kind or another
Speaker 1: in my But we'll see how it goes. Mike, have
Speaker 1: a great afternoon, and I appreciate you listening. In a part
Speaker 1: of the show four thirty fourth Straightaway, Matt Reeves has
Speaker 1: the latest We'll come back, James Rapeaine, a conversation about
Speaker 1: Bengals and packers, and a whole lot more to get to.
Speaker 1: On a Saturday afternoon, a seven hundred WLW. It's the weekend,
Speaker 1: sterling back seven hundred w WELW on the road headed
Speaker 1: to Green Bay, Lambeau Field along with the football Who
Speaker 1: da Bengals? James Rapine locked on Bengals the Cincinnati Bengals
Speaker 1: talk SI, He's everywhere, Thanks for making time. This is
Speaker 1: a weird week, and it is always a challenging thing
Speaker 1: week after week in the NFL. But the Bengals did something.
Speaker 1: They went from Joe in a toe issue to Jake
Speaker 1: Browning to now a new Joe who's not all that
Speaker 1: new really, former Raven. He's gotten around a little bit.
Speaker 1: Was with the Browns for eight and a half minutes,
Speaker 1: and he actually beat Green Bay a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago in a shocker. Now he's trying to figure out
Speaker 1: new play schemes and working with some elite receivers what
Speaker 1: he's not necessarily familiar with. How does this look on
Speaker 1: the outside, just a couple of days away from a
Speaker 1: kickoff in Lambeau.
Speaker 8: Extremely challenging, I'll be honest with you, like extremely challenging.
Speaker 8: I think the Bengals they needed to make a change
Speaker 8: and to do this to give themselves a chance. I
Speaker 8: also think it's it's really hard to find the realistic
Speaker 8: path to them winning a game against the Green Bay
Speaker 8: team that's thinking Super Bowl and I get it. The
Speaker 8: Bengals are too, and that's their mindset. But it's just
Speaker 8: a really tough spot to be in. Doesn't mean they
Speaker 8: won't it surprise me, but having him come in here
Speaker 8: basically get here Tuesday night and I've made that drive,
Speaker 8: as you know, down seventy one plenty and while he
Speaker 8: wasn't while he wasn't driving, it's a that's a tough
Speaker 8: ask to go from there to now. You're practicing and
Speaker 8: with new players on Wednesday, and your meetings on Wednesday
Speaker 8: and in Thursday, same thing. Friday, you meet with the
Speaker 8: media the first for the first time. Today you're flying
Speaker 8: to Green Bay, and you gotta deal with the packers
Speaker 8: at Lambeau on Sunday. Like there's just there's a lot
Speaker 8: to it. It's not impossible, but it's extremely challenging.
Speaker 1: And if he were to get that win with the Bengals,
Speaker 1: which would be a nice turnaround after going two and
Speaker 1: oh we complained about a slow start for weeks, would
Speaker 1: we not have been happy to trade an oh for
Speaker 1: three if we had kept Joe's toe healthy and Burrow
Speaker 1: under center, Yeah, sure, sure, And then OH and three
Speaker 1: for Jake Browning, who he's still the number two in
Speaker 1: this situation, so his head has got to be in
Speaker 1: a weird place. I mean, he knows how he performed
Speaker 1: or failed to perform in that circumstance, but he's got
Speaker 1: to be ready to go if in fact something happens
Speaker 1: to Flacco, no doubt.
Speaker 8: And that's that's what's tough, is this juggling act. I
Speaker 8: will say this, I do respect that the Bengals went
Speaker 8: right to Flacco right away. I do think that's the
Speaker 8: right move because it's not like starting Jake would give
Speaker 8: you a better chance against Green Bay, Like I wouldn't
Speaker 8: feel any better about it. And if anything, the unknown
Speaker 8: in that curve ball may make it a little tougher
Speaker 8: on Green Bay. But you're right, like Jake has to
Speaker 8: stay dialed in because he's one play away from playing,
Speaker 8: and so it's it's tough. There's a lot of emotions
Speaker 8: that go into it. At the same time, did it
Speaker 8: feel like at any point over the past three weeks
Speaker 8: like this Bengals offense was close to figuring it out.
Speaker 8: I'm not gonna let a yeah, even a few touchdowns
Speaker 8: against the Lions in garbage time like that's I don't
Speaker 8: know what that is.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 8: Maybe you can build off that, maybe you can't. And
Speaker 8: what I will say is talking to the guys in
Speaker 8: the lockeroom this week, they are buying into Joe Flacco.
Speaker 1: Well they have to, don't they. I mean, he has
Speaker 1: some strong pedigree, he's got the experience. They have seen
Speaker 1: him competed against him, they know what that's like. So
Speaker 1: for him to step in that's pretty large. He also
Speaker 1: hasn't had some of the weaponry that he can work
Speaker 1: with Chase, who's questionable. I guess in Higgins, how is
Speaker 1: Chase and what what are I mean? It's hard for
Speaker 1: somebody to step in like that. How do they keep
Speaker 1: him comfortable and capable with plays that fit into what
Speaker 1: the Bengals are already comfortable and familiar with to be
Speaker 1: able to go in there and be functional because there's
Speaker 1: a lot to learn in just a short amount of time.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you go with the stuff that the
Speaker 8: Joe is most comfortable with. And that's what Friday was
Speaker 8: and that's what today is is figuring out.
Speaker 1: What what is he comfortable with?
Speaker 8: What is he like from a literally from a play
Speaker 8: to play standpoint, and what is he kind of questioning now?
Speaker 8: And that's that's one of the many things from a
Speaker 8: rhythm standpoint that Joe Flaco and Zach Taylor they're going
Speaker 8: to have to get down and the rest of the
Speaker 8: coaching staff they're gonna have to continue to iron that out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, go with what you.
Speaker 8: Know and understand that your job is to get the
Speaker 8: ball in the hands of your playmakers. This offense should
Speaker 8: be good. And I know that people bring up the
Speaker 8: offensive line and they're gonna talk about Micah Parsons and
Speaker 8: you might ask me about that. I get it, but
Speaker 8: I really don't care who the defense is. This offense
Speaker 8: should still score, and it should score every week. And
Speaker 8: we shouldn't be talking about three points a halftime and
Speaker 8: in the game over by the half. That should never
Speaker 8: be the case when you have Joe Burrow or when
Speaker 8: you have excuse Joe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how many times is that going to happen in
Speaker 1: the booth? For those guys calling the game on TV too,
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna happen.
Speaker 8: It should. It might be a lot, but there's a
Speaker 8: reason they paid Jamar and they paid Tea, and they
Speaker 8: kept Mike get SICKI and then they go get Noah
Speaker 8: Fan and they were so optimistic about Chase Brown, like,
Speaker 8: there's there's a lot of talent on this offense Sterling.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, and so can Joe Flatco do his best
Speaker 8: Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1: There we go.
Speaker 8: I did it right, impression in maximize the weapons. The
Speaker 8: Bengals are banking on that a better option than Jake.
Speaker 5: We will see.
Speaker 8: But that's the challenge, not just tomorrow, but moving forward
Speaker 8: for this Bengals offense.
Speaker 1: Good seeing him, good, talking to him, good reading him.
Speaker 1: Blocked on Bengals Cincinnati Bengals Talk. James Rapine was Sterling
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW late kickoff for twenty five Sunday lambeau
Speaker 1: Field in Green Bay. You got to go through Milwaukee
Speaker 1: to get there, unless you're flying or having a bad flight,
Speaker 1: which I've had in the past. I have to ask
Speaker 1: James Rapine in the midst of this, aside from the weaponry,
Speaker 1: what do we know about Chase Is he able to
Speaker 1: suit up, play and go? Because everything I've read, I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gamesmanship or if he's really not well.
Speaker 8: I would expect him to play good luck. I mean
Speaker 8: it would have to be to me, it would have
Speaker 8: to be one hell of an illness to sideline him.
Speaker 8: But I don't know that that's just me looking at
Speaker 8: who Jamar Chase is, knowing that he talked to us
Speaker 8: on Thursday, and then yeah, Zach Taylor takes him out
Speaker 8: of or not takes him out of practice, but doesn't
Speaker 8: have him practice on Friday. But you want him to
Speaker 8: get rest and he's gonna have to rest up because
Speaker 8: he needs about twelve catches tomorrow. So yeah, I would
Speaker 8: expect him to play. Maybe it's gamesmanship, maybe he's really
Speaker 8: really sick. I don't know, but I'm expecting to see
Speaker 8: Jamar out.
Speaker 1: There as far as the running game and that in
Speaker 1: between when they can't go with the deep ball, that
Speaker 1: there's been an opportunity obviously, you know with Chase Brown
Speaker 1: to sort of you know, drop off that pass, get
Speaker 1: an extra five maybe ten snuck in there without going
Speaker 1: far deep the south. How does he looking? What about
Speaker 1: tandem with him? Tight end work?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's it's it's a good it's a
Speaker 8: good point to bring up because if you look at
Speaker 8: what Joe Flacco did this year in Cleveland or his past,
Speaker 8: the running back, he's going to throw to the running
Speaker 8: back and Chase Brown. That's something He's worked on a
Speaker 8: ton since he's gotten to the league, and I thought
Speaker 8: he was gonna have a huge year and this year
Speaker 8: has just been weird for this offense. And so yeah,
Speaker 8: he's got to be a factor for the team and
Speaker 8: a playmaker, and so get him the ball in space
Speaker 8: and maybe maybe that is the run game a little bit,
Speaker 8: but if it's not, then maybe it's the checkdowns. But
Speaker 8: he can certainly help you and these tight ends. I
Speaker 8: really think Mike Kasiki compliment each other really well. And
Speaker 8: there are a bunch of guys that I think are
Speaker 8: going to get a boost with Joe Flacco at quarterback.
Speaker 8: But you look at Mike Kasiki and that might be
Speaker 8: the number one guy. He had David and Joku and
Speaker 8: Harold Fannin in Cleveland, and both guys were targeted plenty
Speaker 8: from Joe Flacco.
Speaker 1: In Joku's case.
Speaker 8: A couple of years ago when they went to the
Speaker 8: playoffs and Joku really took off because of his report
Speaker 8: with Flacco. Don't be shocked at all if you see
Speaker 8: more of Noah Fan and Mike Kasiki and them making
Speaker 8: game changing plays, moving color.
Speaker 1: Talking to James Rapine lockdown Bengals Cincinnati Bengals talk on
Speaker 1: the Big One about Bengals in action Sunday taking on
Speaker 1: the Packers in Green Bay at lambeau Field for twenty five,
Speaker 1: Packers two to one and one Bengals two and three.
Speaker 1: You know about the zero for three which a Browning
Speaker 1: under center. Flacco now the man with tiger strikes from
Speaker 1: one Joe to another. As far as this defense is concerned,
Speaker 1: I mean, they've given up their share of points. I mean,
Speaker 1: let's just call it what it is. I mean, they've
Speaker 1: they've improved, but have they really How disturbing is it
Speaker 1: going into Green Bay?
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's Uh, it's tough. I think I'm curious to
Speaker 8: see this defense in a normal game when they aren't
Speaker 8: down by you know, bazillion points and put into a
Speaker 8: bunch of bad situations. And maybe that happens tomorrow at
Speaker 8: Lamba or maybe not. Maybe they're putting a bunch of
Speaker 8: bad situations again. But it's it's been tough to judge
Speaker 8: them because I do think that they're they work hard.
Speaker 8: I think for the most part they're on the same page,
Speaker 8: which I couldn't say last year. And the pass rush
Speaker 8: came alout a little bit last week, like there were
Speaker 8: signs they didn't let that that Lion's rushing attack break
Speaker 8: them like I think some thought it would, and then
Speaker 8: it put them and gave them a chance to rush
Speaker 8: the passer and they got after Jared Goff a little dead,
Speaker 8: so and they put it together. I wonder, and I
Speaker 8: think it stinks Tamar Stewart isn't going to play for
Speaker 8: another game, and he hasn't played since weeet two, And
Speaker 8: it's just it's painful to not have Schamar because when
Speaker 8: I look at this defense curling, obviously, Trey Hendrickson is
Speaker 8: a game changer. I think Dax Hill is the second
Speaker 8: best player on this defense right now, but it would
Speaker 8: be really nice if Shamar Stewart would emerge as another
Speaker 8: game changer. I just I'm not sure they have anyone
Speaker 8: right now that isn't Trey Hendrickson that can affect the
Speaker 8: game in the ways that maybe Chamar could if he
Speaker 8: was getting experience and learning and playing, because I do
Speaker 8: think he has a really high ceiling. So that's what
Speaker 8: I wonder. Who else is going to step up not
Speaker 8: named Trey Hendrickson.
Speaker 1: Anything that we've not covered in this short amount of time.
Speaker 1: Thank you for making it and letting us know where
Speaker 1: your head is and what we should expect a Sunday
Speaker 1: afternoon at Lambeau Cincinnati Bengals tok locked on Bengals James
Speaker 1: for paying what else is there before we let you bounce?
Speaker 8: Over the next five days, Sterling, the Bengals are going
Speaker 8: to play two games.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 8: Tomorrow is a very important game. But if they're competitive tomorrow,
Speaker 8: and I told people this yesterday in the build, Yes,
Speaker 8: if they're competitive tomorrow at Lambeau and Lewis and then
Speaker 8: come home and deep Pittsburgh, regardless of what happens between
Speaker 8: Cleveland and Pittsburgh this week, they're going to be right
Speaker 8: back in. There'll be three and four, they'll have a
Speaker 8: tiebreaker over the Steelers, and they'll be in second place
Speaker 8: in the division. And so yeah, as important is tomorrow
Speaker 8: is the next five days are really really important. And
Speaker 8: finding a way to beat the Steelers on Thursday night
Speaker 8: is going to beat big.
Speaker 1: So there we go.
Speaker 8: I didn't I didn't tease this game as as much
Speaker 8: as I probably should have.
Speaker 5: It is a big game.
Speaker 1: They all are big games.
Speaker 8: But the next five days it's going to go a
Speaker 8: long way in determining if Joe Flacko and the Bengals
Speaker 8: are going to be able to rebound after this two
Speaker 8: and three start.
Speaker 1: Strange to the days in the whole tri State, up
Speaker 1: to the Miami Valley and beyond wherever Bengals Nation is.
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, I mean people have seemed deflated, they've
Speaker 1: seemed depressed. It's just a little hope as we start
Speaker 1: feeling fall and leaves falling and start thinking more football
Speaker 1: and cold weather ahead of us. Everybody just seems like
Speaker 1: they're happier when the Bengals are winning. So we'll see
Speaker 1: how it goes. Thanks for baking time. We'll look for it.
Speaker 1: Five days, yeah, big five, and it all starts Sunday.
Speaker 1: James Rapeen, Lockdown, Bengals, Cincinnati Bengals, talk SI and all
Speaker 1: over the Bengalin Here on your weekend with Sterling on
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW. I thank you, James, take care of yourself.
Speaker 1: Thanks Stan, appreciate you. Sterling back seven hundred WLW and
Speaker 1: tonight marks the fiftieth anniversary of the debut is Saturday
Speaker 1: Night Live on NBC October eleventh, nineteen seventy five. I
Speaker 1: was a wee littlest teeny Sterling at the time. Think
Speaker 1: of all the talent that's gone through there, John Belushi,
Speaker 1: dan Ackroyd, Chevy chay Y, I mean man, chrispher Farley,
Speaker 1: the list goes on and on and on. That's a
Speaker 1: great run fifty years. I mean there what sixty minutes
Speaker 1: is that they've been around that long, right, I mean
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of other stuff faced the nation.
Speaker 1: Maybe you know that type of thing. That's not a
Speaker 1: lot else other than like just generally new shows at
Speaker 1: that as symptoms are on a great run, but not
Speaker 1: close to fifty years. But that's pretty amazing and doing
Speaker 1: it live. And there was just that movie about how
Speaker 1: it all sort of came together that came out a
Speaker 1: year or two ago that I think is probably streaming
Speaker 1: someplace now, but I could not say where at the
Speaker 1: top of my head. Glad you're a long a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes away from your five o'clock report, the latest
Speaker 1: Mid East peace issues. President Trump at all making their
Speaker 1: way to that part of the world to speak to
Speaker 1: Kannessan in Israel and then also in Egypt to sort
Speaker 1: of hammer out some more details of this a very
Speaker 1: tenuous process is going to be a challenge. It's been
Speaker 1: going on for quite a while after October seventh to
Speaker 1: twenty three, with that incursion murder some twelve hundred and
Speaker 1: the hostage is being taken. And then of course for
Speaker 1: so long before that really issue of Palestinians needing a
Speaker 1: place of their own Israel, the whole area has really
Speaker 1: been volatile for most of our lives. So hopefully this
Speaker 1: will get to a better place of some stability and
Speaker 1: normalcy and people can maybe have a future for themselves
Speaker 1: rather than in the midst of running for fear of
Speaker 1: their lives and gaza and so forth. Meanwhile, state side,
Speaker 1: of course, a government still shut down, questions about now
Speaker 1: military is going to get paid, not get paid, ordering
Speaker 1: people to go to work without getting paid, furloughing and
Speaker 1: firing other people because they can, I guess at this
Speaker 1: point we'll see how that plays out in the days
Speaker 1: and weeks ahead. But a lot of people in precarious
Speaker 1: positions here Stateside as well, and of course the terify
Speaker 1: tax that we're all paying in one way or another,
Speaker 1: whether it's small business, big business trying to eat as
Speaker 1: much of it as they can, which is affecting obviously
Speaker 1: profit margins, limiting their hiring ability, or even people purchasing
Speaker 1: power for that matter, attacks on all of us. So
Speaker 1: there's certainly a lot of work to be done stateside
Speaker 1: by the powers that be as well. So coming up,
Speaker 1: but we'll get into issues of parents and odd rules.
Speaker 1: Also something very strange. I have a friend of mine's daughter, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that sounded weird. A friend
Speaker 1: of mine's daughter. I know, there is a big debate
Speaker 1: and she just went under the knife for some voluntary
Speaker 1: surgery issue, which seems bewildering to me. And she's not
Speaker 1: yet made twenty years old, just into college at this point,
Speaker 1: and it seems rather extreme. But we'll touch on that
Speaker 1: and a whole lot more. Final out together on a
Speaker 1: winning day for those football Bearcats over UCF twenty to
Speaker 1: eleven as they roll a five in a row Big
Speaker 1: twelve matchup and maybe looking to get ranked. We'll see
Speaker 1: how the rest of the weekend plays out for them.
Speaker 1: Here Halma the hood Ay in action tomorrow. Best Bengals
Speaker 1: coverage here in Lambeau taking on the Green Bay Packers
Speaker 1: with Joe Flacco under center. Matt Reese has news now
Speaker 1: more Sterling coming back here. News Radio seven hundred dou
Speaker 1: W wellw Cincinnati buck Eys win over the align H
Speaker 1: thirty four sixteen Mariners move ahead late last night in
Speaker 1: extra innings without the ghost Man. Baseball rules different to
Speaker 1: postseason than regular season, which I don't quite understand, but whatever.
Speaker 1: Either way, a couple former Reds playing on a Henio
Speaker 1: Suarez Lui Castile of course legends in their own right
Speaker 1: as Reds playing with the Mariners and cal Raley in
Speaker 1: company as they face off against the Blue Jays tomorrow
Speaker 1: and later on tonight it's Cubs and Brewers and the
Speaker 1: division series in the National League. See who's gonna face
Speaker 1: off against the Dodgers to get to the World Series.
Speaker 1: And that's a best of five, so someone it's a
Speaker 1: winner go home situation. I don't really like the Cubs
Speaker 1: or the Brewers, so I don't really, you know, I
Speaker 1: kind of I only for what it's worth. I think
Speaker 1: the Dodgers at least they beat the Reds, so it's
Speaker 1: nice to think that the Reds at least got beat
Speaker 1: by a team who gets to the World Series at
Speaker 1: some consolation if any I don't know that that's rationalization
Speaker 1: and trying to live better through lowered expectations. That's what
Speaker 1: that is. That's how I was raised, and I guess
Speaker 1: it's a way to get through I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's one of the big lies as youth that we
Speaker 1: are told is a way to navigate this life that
Speaker 1: you know, you feel sort of cheated or hoodwinked. Coming up,
Speaker 1: but we'll touch on that. How you doing at Sterling,
Speaker 1: hanging out, mister McMahon, keeping me in line five thirty
Speaker 1: report coming up with Matt Reese and a good bit
Speaker 1: of ground to cover between then and now. So I
Speaker 1: mentioned just before the news, So a friend of mine's daughter,
Speaker 1: she's twenty in college now. I think she's a sophomore,
Speaker 1: maybe a junior. I can't say for sure. She is
Speaker 1: either just about to I think, either leading into this
Speaker 1: weekend or starting this week and to go under the
Speaker 1: knife for some elective surgery, some cosmetic surgery because she
Speaker 1: feels that she apparently can't get a she good looking
Speaker 1: kid and getting something. I don't know if it's her
Speaker 1: nose or exactly what's getting reworked. My buddy's a little
Speaker 1: hacked off about it, but it's her choice and is
Speaker 1: sort of navigating that, and I'm just trying to figure
Speaker 1: out at twenty years old. I mean, she doesn't look
Speaker 1: like she got like beat with a stick, ugly stick
Speaker 1: or otherwise and didn't heal quite right or anything else.
Speaker 1: She's tractive girls, so I don't know, weird societally speaking,
Speaker 1: if she's spending too much time on social media or
Speaker 1: whatever it is. But I know I've had guessed on
Speaker 1: that are cosmetic surgeons, psychologists, psychiatrist on a lot of
Speaker 1: people feel they need to go under the knife alterations
Speaker 1: to get themselves tuned up in some way, either to
Speaker 1: get ahead or to feel like they are you know, somebody,
Speaker 1: I guess, And I don't know if that's social media.
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what that is. More of a problem. Now,
Speaker 1: great if you're in the business of cosmetic surgery and stuff,
Speaker 1: because I mean that summer houses, vacation properties, probably in
Speaker 1: a fat bank account, and so forth. But it's a
Speaker 1: weird scenario. I can recall a girl that I went
Speaker 1: out with the first part of college off and on
Speaker 1: through college entirely, and she wanted to have reduction surgery
Speaker 1: for chest, but it was primarily because she was concerned
Speaker 1: about back issues long term or anything else, which I
Speaker 1: didn't understand. Because I'm a dude. I'm like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: everything's fine up there. I don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 1: And I don't think she ever actually had that done.
Speaker 1: But it's hard to say. We talk a little bit,
Speaker 1: but not so much in these days because that was
Speaker 1: a long time ago. So what I'm wondering is this,
Speaker 1: what would you do? What have you done? I think
Speaker 1: my father, such that he was biologically not engaged involved
Speaker 1: otherwise really for that much, had something done to his
Speaker 1: eyes when he was probably in his forties or so,
Speaker 1: from what my mother tells me, like I don't know,
Speaker 1: like the tops of his eyelids or something. I know
Speaker 1: more and more guys do it. Usually during March Madness.
Speaker 1: I had a friend of mine who went in. It
Speaker 1: wasn't really cosmetic surgery necessarily, but elective surgery just the same.
Speaker 1: After he had had two kids. He during March Madness,
Speaker 1: took time off to work from home in one under
Speaker 1: the ninth to get himself. It's hard for me to
Speaker 1: even say that we're a vasectomy, very difficult, not aesthetic,
Speaker 1: but didn't want to have any more little ones and
Speaker 1: some oops or otherwise. So I mean, you know, in life,
Speaker 1: you have to to make choices, I suppose, but I
Speaker 1: don't know that that's always the need. I guess whatever
Speaker 1: makes you feel good. But we're in a weird place
Speaker 1: where more people and ever are taking pharmaceutical products to
Speaker 1: navigate life as we know it. For depression, anxiety, you know,
Speaker 1: a d D, pick at dysfunction, or a disorder. The
Speaker 1: pharmacu utical industry has an answer for us. We also
Speaker 1: apparently have instant gratification because we all have been raised
Speaker 1: with the remote control in our hand, younger people with
Speaker 1: the electronic devices in hand on risk or otherwise, where
Speaker 1: anything that you want to know is in the pall
Speaker 1: of your hand basically on demand. So we want what
Speaker 1: we want when we want it. Now. I'm not just
Speaker 1: like judging people for making a decision to improve their looks,
Speaker 1: how they feel and so on. Esthetically, if they think
Speaker 1: that that's what they need to do to get ahead,
Speaker 1: and if somebody can make a living at it and
Speaker 1: do good work and make sure that it's taken care of, hell,
Speaker 1: I probably could use some help.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: I've embraced the follicle challenge and shaved my head for
Speaker 1: years now, but I can't imagine I know, a lot
Speaker 1: of people will do stuff to fix their hairlines. A
Speaker 1: lot of people will, you know, they do like caffine
Speaker 1: plants and strange stuff like that. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: say who here may or may not have done that,
Speaker 1: but it happens. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven,
Speaker 1: eight hundred, the Big One. You can talk back on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. I'm just curious how young is too young?
Speaker 1: And somebody just messaged me here. This is Liz h
Speaker 1: in Hyde Park. Liz says that, you know, it starts
Speaker 1: early and makes allusion to the fact that her parents
Speaker 1: got her ears pierced before she was Apparently it could
Speaker 1: make a choice in the matter, but a lot of
Speaker 1: people do that. I don't know if that's a cosmetic thing,
Speaker 1: but apparently she feels like there's an issue with that.
Speaker 1: She says she wishes that they hadn't had done it.
Speaker 1: I don't know why did you know if she didn't
Speaker 1: want to have the ears pierced or something, But that's
Speaker 1: a parent's decision, I guess in that circumstance. Last night
Speaker 1: on the show, I was talking a little bit about
Speaker 1: dumb rules that parents had and communicat, and I had
Speaker 1: this interaction with a friend of mine when I was
Speaker 1: coming up in school. She wanted to get her haircut,
Speaker 1: sort of like I guess a punk rock haircut for
Speaker 1: one of a better way to describe it. Her parents
Speaker 1: wouldn't let her get her hair cut on her own.
Speaker 1: She went ahead and did it, like at the mall
Speaker 1: or something, and then there was hell to pay for it.
Speaker 1: So whether it's the haircut in that situation to make
Speaker 1: her feel like she fit in that she was a
Speaker 1: part of whatever was current at the time, talking about
Speaker 1: in the eighties at that point, I mean, it caused
Speaker 1: some strife at home, but I think she survived it.
Speaker 1: They didn't put her out on the street. But there's
Speaker 1: a far cry from a haircut in ears piercing, I think,
Speaker 1: or a nose piercing or dyeing one's hair to going
Speaker 1: under the knife or some type of decision that's going
Speaker 1: to be a lifetime whether it's impresst enlargement, augmentation in
Speaker 1: some way to reduce it, which you know, my ex
Speaker 1: in her bag problems, I suppose that makes good sense.
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody wants bad problems, but it's sort of
Speaker 1: a weird scenario. So I want to know if you've
Speaker 1: gone under the knife. What you've had done. Was it
Speaker 1: worth it? Did it make a change, whether it was
Speaker 1: a facelift, hair and plants, chin in plant whatever. I
Speaker 1: worked with someone who felt they didn't have enough of
Speaker 1: a chin, and they put in something in there. I
Speaker 1: don't know what to effectively give them a chin, which
Speaker 1: they said made a world of difference. We are a
Speaker 1: society that's about aesthetics, right, I mean, pretty people tend
Speaker 1: to do better in the world and have an easier
Speaker 1: way than people who aren't so pretty. Maybe they don't
Speaker 1: have to work as hard. And who doesn't want a
Speaker 1: situation where maybe your kids have it easier than you did,
Speaker 1: or I did, or what have you. That's a pretty
Speaker 1: common thought to hopefully, you know, leave a footprint that
Speaker 1: makes life a little less strenuous for who's coming up
Speaker 1: behind us. Five point three seven four nine seven eight hundred,
Speaker 1: the big one. And if you've done it, I'm wondering
Speaker 1: the good or bad. Were you happy with what you
Speaker 1: did or were you in a situation where you thought,
Speaker 1: maybe I should not have done that? And obvious it's
Speaker 1: one of those things where we're talking elective. This is
Speaker 1: not like a cleft palate situation. This is not a
Speaker 1: reconstruction after an accident or something along those lines. We're
Speaker 1: talking about just for the sake of getting it done.
Speaker 1: Somebody also messaged about getting a facelift at twenty eight
Speaker 1: because they felt they weren't looking as they should aging
Speaker 1: too fast. So I guess moisturizing is probably a good idea.
Speaker 1: Staying out of the sun too much is probably a
Speaker 1: good idea. Even though you want to check out those
Speaker 1: riverboats along the Ohio this weekend with the Roots Festival
Speaker 1: going on on the river, or maybe out there in
Speaker 1: those monster gourds up in Hamilton with the super sized
Speaker 1: pumpkins and so forth to go along with it, I
Speaker 1: want to know what you think five one, three, seven,
Speaker 1: four ninety seven thousand, eight hundred of the Big One,
Speaker 1: And maybe that is a lie. Growing up, you know,
Speaker 1: my mother told me that it was about your character,
Speaker 1: it was not about how you looked. And then in
Speaker 1: a perfect world, which it's not, that you would be
Speaker 1: able to live your life, it'd being the best person
Speaker 1: that you could be and that would be enough to
Speaker 1: make your way through. But that may be one of
Speaker 1: those things that you know the world tells us society
Speaker 1: tells us, our parents tells us, our leaders tell us, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, authority figures tell us that really has crap
Speaker 1: coming up is youth that maybe that's all the matters.
Speaker 1: So maybe the younger people, it's possible it could be,
Speaker 1: as we start looking at arguments from all sides on this,
Speaker 1: in all perspectives, that if, in fact you don't get
Speaker 1: some of these things done, that it is going to
Speaker 1: be harder for you, considering so many people live a
Speaker 1: virtual life on social media or otherwise, whether it's for
Speaker 1: their living or their self validation, Because if you're not
Speaker 1: out there getting clicks and likes and views and everything else,
Speaker 1: then you're nobody, which is a sad, sad state of affairs,
Speaker 1: because when I step outside without a device in my hand,
Speaker 1: I couldn't care less.
Speaker 5: I go.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful day in the Tri State on a
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon, sterling your chance to get interactive on the
Speaker 1: other side five one, three, seven, four nine, seven, eight hundred,
Speaker 1: the big one seven HUNDREDULW You know, maybe start in Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: hang out there, get some scrapple, come down here, get
Speaker 1: some get a couple of three ways, maybe chili cheese,
Speaker 1: onions and mustard hop on that riverboat, play some cards,
Speaker 1: make your way down Louisville, find your way somehow to
Speaker 1: the Mississippi West Bank of the Mississippi there in the
Speaker 1: arch in Saint Louis and then down to New Orleans.
Speaker 1: It's like going back in time or something like that
Speaker 1: beautiful day for it anyway, downtown Cincinnati, you get to
Speaker 1: forty six of low to night nine, first winning forecast
Speaker 1: on the Big one, middle seventies tomorrow, closer to middle
Speaker 1: seventies to eighties to start the week, and very little
Speaker 1: talk of rain. We could use more, but beautiful day
Speaker 1: like that day soaked up a lot of people out there,
Speaker 1: a lot of traffic, a lot of traffic issues too,
Speaker 1: So just be careful. I know issues on seventy five North,
Speaker 1: people coming over to seventy one about it, So just
Speaker 1: down you allow yourself some extra time. People in a
Speaker 1: hurry sometimes to go nowhere fast ends up becoming a headache,
Speaker 1: in a hassle. It's seventy two right now, your severe
Speaker 1: weather station seven hundred WLW. I want to mention this,
Speaker 1: and maybe this is the other side of the news
Speaker 1: we can get into this. I am somewhat sympathetic for
Speaker 1: the gullible. I am somewhat sympathetic for the hoodwink, the
Speaker 1: victims of our world who have been taken advantage of.
Speaker 1: Sometimes for those people who are a little slow. I
Speaker 1: rode a little yellow bus to school for a little while.
Speaker 1: I don't mean that in disrespect. I mean I'm at
Speaker 1: to five high schools. I was bound to take a
Speaker 1: little bus at some time or another. But this headline
Speaker 1: is bewildering. You may have heard Lebron James All Star,
Speaker 1: former Cavalier, former heat of course, longtime Laker at this
Speaker 1: point and not retiring anytime soon as far as we know,
Speaker 1: even though he's like one hundred and twenty six and
Speaker 1: NBA years. But there is a Laker span who's been
Speaker 1: a fan their entire lives who's now suing Lebron James
Speaker 1: because he had a promo, advertisement ad call it whatever
Speaker 1: you want, for some whiskey that he's out there, and
Speaker 1: this guy took it to be a telltale signs. It
Speaker 1: sort of made allusion to him leaving Cleveland at one
Speaker 1: point and heading south to the beach in Miami all
Speaker 1: those years ago, and this guy became very concerned. This
Speaker 1: guy became very unnerved and figured he needed to be
Speaker 1: able to have a chance to see his favorite Lebron
Speaker 1: in a Lakers uniform one last time. So what he
Speaker 1: did is he coughed up some cash to the tune
Speaker 1: of somewhere in the neighborhood of eight hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: dollars nearly that anyway for a couple of tickets, which
Speaker 1: seemed steep to me because you can watch it on TV.
Speaker 1: It's better than being there in many cases, especially with
Speaker 1: that kind of money, you can get yourself a whole
Speaker 1: lot of TV. You could get a wall of TV's
Speaker 1: depending not nice TVs, but for that kind of dome.
Speaker 1: Makee me a little bit going to March of next
Speaker 1: year when they take on the Calves. So this guy
Speaker 1: now feels because he realized that he's not really retiring,
Speaker 1: that that was not telegraphing his step away from the
Speaker 1: game again or moving on, that he feels like he's
Speaker 1: a victim.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: Nobody forced him to go buy these tickets, and now
Speaker 1: he's looking to get some payback from Lebron himself. To
Speaker 1: the two eight hundred and sixty five dollars in some
Speaker 1: sixty six cents and he's suing NBA legend Lebron James
Speaker 1: because he was dumb in my opinion, So I want
Speaker 1: to ask you, one, is that a legit lawsuit? Sometimes
Speaker 1: you just got to be smarter than that if you
Speaker 1: are so passionate and you were so concerned and thinking
Speaker 1: it might because you never know when the last time
Speaker 1: is going to be anyway, So if you want to
Speaker 1: be there, you want to be in person. You want
Speaker 1: to soak up the moment in the crowd, watching the
Speaker 1: team that you love, the players that you love, that
Speaker 1: you admire. Then you spend the dough and you know what,
Speaker 1: you take it like a champ because it could be
Speaker 1: his last game. He could blow out a knee, he
Speaker 1: could quit he I mean, who knows what at any
Speaker 1: given point in time. But he feels that he's due
Speaker 1: and wants money back on these tickets rather than trying
Speaker 1: to resell them. I mean he got suckered, is what
Speaker 1: it boils down to. I mean, you've got to be
Speaker 1: smarter than your average box or rocks. And this guy,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, was not five three, seven, four, nine, seven,
Speaker 1: eight hundred the big one. And on the other side,
Speaker 1: we will not give you a chance just to sound
Speaker 1: off on that. I want to know how you've been
Speaker 1: taking advantage of or ripped off or somehow hoodwinked in
Speaker 1: some way. Let's call it a Saturday afternoon confessional after
Speaker 1: your five thirty report. It's more sterling here on the
Speaker 1: home of the winning football Bearcats and a Bengals team
Speaker 1: with Joe Flacco under center Tomorrow afternoon at Lambeague taking
Speaker 1: on those Green Bay Packers. Here on the home of
Speaker 1: the best Bengals coverage, News Radio seven hundred WLW. They'll
Speaker 1: talk about who day Flacco under center, Bengals on the road,
Speaker 1: try to get back on the winning side of things,
Speaker 1: and a guy who was a raven who got him
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ring of course, and now we're in the
Speaker 1: Bengals try stripes. And how much time has he had
Speaker 1: actually to work with this team. I think it's been
Speaker 1: like less than a week. It's insane when you think
Speaker 1: about it, because Browning had, you know, halfway comeback in time.
Speaker 1: That didn't matter. Last Sunday was miserable and then Flacco
Speaker 1: got to be a part. I think it was what
Speaker 1: Tuesday right, They made the drive down, if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: And now, of course, looking to try to get to
Speaker 1: work against the Packers and the Bengals could be back
Speaker 1: to even in five hundred. So there's a lot to
Speaker 1: talk about with the WHO Day Today and podcast form
Speaker 1: later on. You can hear the conversation I had with
Speaker 1: James Rapine from Lockdown Bengals about that very issue. Good
Speaker 1: bit of ground to cover in between, and was talking about,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no shortage of stuff, the confessional issue
Speaker 1: of people and doing what they do. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: mention something else here about like societal like lies and
Speaker 1: so forth going on in a minute, But let me
Speaker 1: just mention I've had a number of people message me
Speaker 1: and go sterling and not bots. But the bots do
Speaker 1: their stuff on social media, a lot sort of stirring
Speaker 1: stuf up, making you think things are happening and topical
Speaker 1: that aren't. But I've had a number people and how
Speaker 1: dare you sterling? One of these which reminds me of
Speaker 1: Tracy Joes, how dare you sterling? Not mention the Nobel
Speaker 1: Peace Prize that President Trump should get for bringing peace
Speaker 1: to the Middle East, and that he didn't get it
Speaker 1: just now when it was announced for someone else. Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, I don't think he qualified because the
Speaker 1: submissions for that were the beginning of the year and
Speaker 1: that hadn't happened with bringing the peace, and it's a
Speaker 1: tenuous piece at best at this point. With the deal
Speaker 1: being finalized step by step, with President Trump going to
Speaker 1: speed the Kanness the first of the week and then
Speaker 1: also to Egypt to work stuff out for those with
Speaker 1: Hamas and otherwise, it is monumental if they can get
Speaker 1: a piece to hold. It hasn't for the last couple
Speaker 1: of years, that's for sure, and the next year that
Speaker 1: I think that would probably get him Nobel Peace Prize
Speaker 1: qualification most definitely, and good for him if that's the case,
Speaker 1: Good for the world if that's the case, and those
Speaker 1: envoys making that deal happen, Jared Kushner and company doing
Speaker 1: behind the scenes stuff and working with Cutter and everything else.
Speaker 1: It was a very interesting way this sort of has
Speaker 1: all come together. But in the midst of that celebrating,
Speaker 1: I have to ask you this, and we'll open up
Speaker 1: the phones five three, seven, four, ninety seven, eight hundred,
Speaker 1: the big one. You can pick up the phone, give
Speaker 1: it the finger, talk back the iHeartRadio app as well.
Speaker 1: While that on the global scale is monumental, and the
Speaker 1: humanity and the hope that is a humanitarian aid hopefully
Speaker 1: pouring in to the Palestinian sooner than later in hostages
Speaker 1: to be returned and their remains to be a return
Speaker 1: to those who did not survive after what happened October seventh,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, some two years and change now in
Speaker 1: days passing is the fact that the government is shut
Speaker 1: down and in the midst of people not getting paid
Speaker 1: expected to show up to work to direct traffic in
Speaker 1: our skies, and our military and their families and veterans
Speaker 1: wondering if they're going to get the care that they
Speaker 1: need and access to services that they have put their
Speaker 1: lives on the line to earn that they deserve. Is
Speaker 1: our thank you in the very minimum for them putting
Speaker 1: on that uniform to save us, to defend us and
Speaker 1: our interests globally, I think the attention needs to be
Speaker 1: paid also attention here domestically. Rather, I don't care what
Speaker 1: political aisle you fall into, left, right, center, whatever. I
Speaker 1: just make sense generally speaking and try to anyway. In
Speaker 1: the midst of all of this that's going on. The
Speaker 1: celebration for Piece is fantastic. But when you talk about now,
Speaker 1: what they're not saying just temporary furloughs for people or
Speaker 1: not paying people, but they're talking about firing people and
Speaker 1: so called politics of it, which is bewildering to me
Speaker 1: because last I checked measles, mumps, COVID pick a disease,
Speaker 1: flew anything else down the pike that we don't know
Speaker 1: about has nothing to do with politics, has nothing to
Speaker 1: know at all, what to do with whether you're liberal
Speaker 1: or conservative or anything else in between. It has to
Speaker 1: do with whether you're living, breathing human who may be vulnerable.
Speaker 1: And firing people from the CDC under the guise of
Speaker 1: politics and the idea of democrat interests. It's American interest,
Speaker 1: it's global interest, and it's total bs. Simply stated, cutting
Speaker 1: cost and waste makes great sense. But under the guise
Speaker 1: of this shutdown and the talk of healthcare for people
Speaker 1: who are in great need and children with snap in
Speaker 1: wick and funding of that, and then saying we're going
Speaker 1: to fire hundreds of people, if not thousands of people,
Speaker 1: I think the report now they say, is an excess
Speaker 1: of four thousands so far. Details well, I'm sure we'll
Speaker 1: get sooner than later for things that matter. There's measles
Speaker 1: outbreak right now. You ever have measles? Not good? You
Speaker 1: don't want it. Given a choice, So I'll ask you this,
Speaker 1: no about peace price. Sure, if the peace holds, by God,
Speaker 1: give it to our president. He deserves it and everyone
Speaker 1: else involved in bringing the peace. But handling the business
Speaker 1: of we the people stateside that are not sure if
Speaker 1: they're going to get paid, that are going to get fired,
Speaker 1: if not already fired, or notice of their being fired
Speaker 1: in the midst of all this and the politics of
Speaker 1: it is total crap. At least that's my opinion. I
Speaker 1: want to know what you think. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven,
Speaker 1: eight hundred, the big one. You can talk back the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. I'm on ex Twitter, call it whatever you
Speaker 1: want at Sterling Radio. I mean, it is astounding to
Speaker 1: me when you think about what this country can do
Speaker 1: and how strong we are, and the future as bright
Speaker 1: as it is, and these are challenging times. I have
Speaker 1: friends who have businesses that have been paying tariff taxes
Speaker 1: and trying to avoid passing on as much as they
Speaker 1: can and those added cost that they've been paying. But
Speaker 1: if their customers and client base have had to pick
Speaker 1: up some of it. They've also hired more people. In
Speaker 1: some cases they have ended up in a situation where
Speaker 1: they may be letting people go in some cases. And
Speaker 1: our farmers right now are suffering. You know how many
Speaker 1: soybeans acreage in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky that is on the
Speaker 1: ground now in Silo waiting to be sold to the
Speaker 1: Chinese who have bought none zero zip so far in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five billions and billions of dollars worth. And
Speaker 1: now the talk is and a buddy of mine is excited.
Speaker 1: He tells me, well, you know they're gonna bail him out.
Speaker 1: They're going to bail them out with what tax dollars,
Speaker 1: Your tax dollars, My tax dollars that some of these
Speaker 1: farmers have had to pay for their implements, the machinery,
Speaker 1: for the seed that they acquired, that they put in
Speaker 1: the ground in the hope that they could sell it.
Speaker 1: That they've spent not months, not years, decades building markets
Speaker 1: internationally so that we have farmers here that can make
Speaker 1: a living, that can help our economy and feed the world. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: China is shopped in Africa and elsewhere to get their
Speaker 1: soybeans and other stuff because they're done with us. So
Speaker 1: does attention need to be paid here and now? Are
Speaker 1: we in better shape now or worse shape? Conservative? Liberal?
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm an American. You're American most likely too,
Speaker 1: So you tell me what you think. Five three seven
Speaker 1: four nine seven eight hundred. The big one firing people
Speaker 1: during the shutdown in critical services if health and human
Speaker 1: services and issues dealing with infectious disease aren't critical just
Speaker 1: a few years ago, if you remember, whether you're for
Speaker 1: the mask or against the mask and the shutdown or whatever.
Speaker 1: I could not care less, but no one can deny
Speaker 1: that lots and lots of people got irreparably harmed, sickond
Speaker 1: and died because of COVID. Fire people and get rid
Speaker 1: of them in the business of keeping us all healthier?
Speaker 1: Are children safe? And tell me that is not some
Speaker 1: backass word kind of way of trying to play politics
Speaker 1: and vengeance in some type of fashion. Handle the people's business,
Speaker 1: Get off your back end, get to DC and work
Speaker 1: out a deal. Five went three seven four nine seven
Speaker 1: eight hundred. The big one to Denise and Fairfield and
Speaker 1: room for you on the Nation station. How are you?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Denise? What do you think? Are you there? Denise? Hello,
Speaker 1: I'll put you back on hold. I don't know what happened, Aaron.
Speaker 1: It's your turn with Sterling on the big one. Am
Speaker 1: I making sense? Or am I crazy?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 5: You're making sense, Sterling, but you're forgetting a couple of
Speaker 5: key things here. If we would have had a politician
Speaker 5: or politician's local, state, federal, they would have had the
Speaker 5: colony is to do what Trump and his administration are
Speaker 5: doing now. If we would have had that thirty or
Speaker 5: forty years ago, we wouldn't be in the shape we're
Speaker 5: in right now. I'll tell you this. China can go
Speaker 5: shop wherever they want, but they can't replace us as
Speaker 5: their number one consumer. Okay, So China is going to
Speaker 5: be hurting a lot more than we are from this.
Speaker 5: All we are is addicted to our cheap Chinese crap
Speaker 5: at Walmart. We'll get over that, okay. The government's shut
Speaker 5: down is it's a necessary evil. Anybody that couldn't see
Speaker 5: the writing on the wall that had a government position,
Speaker 5: they have to understand. President Trump ran on this. He
Speaker 5: talked about cutting the floated absolute waste that you and
Speaker 5: I pay for in our tax dollars. Everything from you know,
Speaker 5: monkey studies to you know French you know, just the
Speaker 5: weirdest stuff. I mean, you can find this out there
Speaker 5: of what is actually being spent by our tax dollars
Speaker 5: out there. So I will just say that again, we
Speaker 5: are much better off than what we were, and we're
Speaker 5: going to be a lot better off in the next
Speaker 5: year or two. But there will be some tame long
Speaker 5: the way.
Speaker 1: I'll say this though. You know the idea of these
Speaker 1: rare earth minerals that we're now wanting China to sell
Speaker 1: to us, and we need them for our military. We
Speaker 1: need them for our aircraft and ammunitions and a lot
Speaker 1: of other stuff with our war machine.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: And they are in fact probably at the top of
Speaker 1: the list of what our warring will be going after,
Speaker 1: probably in the next decade or so probably, So it's
Speaker 1: kind of a weird scenario that they need us and
Speaker 1: we need them, But you know, would we be selling
Speaker 1: them stuff to help arm them to fight us later?
Speaker 5: Now? I get it, But died deeper on that. We've
Speaker 5: got all the rare earth minerals we need right here
Speaker 5: in this country. We've got too many liberal judges and
Speaker 5: too many places that block us from actually pulling our
Speaker 5: rare earth minerals out of the ground. So again Trumpet administration,
Speaker 5: they're trying to clean that up. They're trying to get
Speaker 5: these wackos out out of you know, their appointed judicial positions,
Speaker 5: because again they'd rather save some salamander.
Speaker 1: Than change the law.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: But do you see but you're I think you're exaggerating
Speaker 1: to a point, and we are I think victims of
Speaker 1: that exaggeration historically. And an Aaron, great call, by the way, man,
Speaker 1: thank you. I hope you listen and continue and call
Speaker 1: the show again. All right. We're in a situation, though,
Speaker 1: where these judges aren't necessarily doing anything except interpreting the
Speaker 1: law and ruling on it. Change the law. Then that's
Speaker 1: what Congress does. The judiciary doesn't. In blaming the judge
Speaker 1: for somehow their overview of an assessment of the law,
Speaker 1: I think is weak in a stretch at best. Let's
Speaker 1: quickly get to Wyoming and Logan was Stirling on seven
Speaker 1: hundred WLW final thoughts you got a minute go.
Speaker 6: I think these people just want to cut their nose
Speaker 6: offs despite their face, they just want to have you know,
Speaker 6: these wins against the other party instead of focusing on
Speaker 6: what matters, which is, you know, creating a better America.
Speaker 2: You got to work with both sides of the table.
Speaker 6: If you want this to work.
Speaker 5: I don't understand.
Speaker 6: Oh, we want to fire a liberal judge, but don't
Speaker 6: fire a liberal doctor. Hey, let's let's start firing people
Speaker 6: based off of Mary.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's a great point and logan. I
Speaker 1: appreciate the call.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: I'm short on time, and I'm sorry I got a
Speaker 1: little worked up there. I think it's because I haven't eaten,
Speaker 1: because I got this woman in my life and she's like, oh,
Speaker 1: we need to fast, we need to not eat for
Speaker 1: a couple of days and cleanse yourself. Now, I'm just
Speaker 1: angry and surly, and I got to take a deep
Speaker 1: breath and get a hold of myself. Sel mc mahn,
Speaker 1: thank you for keep me online and on time. Straightaway,
Speaker 1: Matt Reese with your six o'clock report. Mike Allen Junior
