1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: American Scott Phone back on seven hundred WLW. With all 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: the news and big news we've had in headlines recently, 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: there's other things that are kind of important. One of 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: those is I don't know if you saw this, but 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: the auditor of state State of Ohio reported at least 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: twenty three cyber attacks against government offices in the past 7 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: twelve months. It's here in Ohio, including seven hundred thousand 8 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: dollars in theft in Licking County. We've seen this in 9 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: Dayton and in Cincinnati and across the area. And as 10 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: a result, lawmakers are working on cybersecurity legislations coming together 11 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: that would acquire municipalities to develop their own policies in 12 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: response to those cyber attacks and local governments. Chris Nihis 13 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: is here. He's the CEO of Cincinnati based Vigilant cyber 14 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: Security and Joints to show to discuss Chris. 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: Welcome, Thanks Scott, Thanks for having me on. 16 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: Yes, sir, Before we get to that where we this 17 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: relatively new news here of this supply chain breach, and 18 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: that's frightening because when it comes to user participation in 19 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: the supply chain, and that is ordering stuff on Amazon 20 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: or anywhere else, we have a compromise at that level. 21 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: What's going on? What do we need to know? 22 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: Right? 23 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 3: So what's crazy about this? So MPMs are packets of 24 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 3: data it's or it's it's software, and what developers will 25 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 3: do is they'll go out and get the software kind 26 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 3: of a marketplace and. 27 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: They'll pull it put it into. 28 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 3: Their software that they write so that they don't have 29 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 3: to write those modules again. So what basically happened here 30 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 3: is UH is an individual that manages these in some 31 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 3: of these MPMs, they were fished and basically gave up 32 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 3: access to these modules. Attack went in modified them to 33 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 3: when they were updated, like when people update their software, 34 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 3: and these are definitely the cyber attack went into all 35 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 3: of these different pieces of software out there. So the 36 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 3: problem with this is is that developers don't always necessarily 37 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 3: know what packages they put into these applications. Companies don't. 38 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 3: They don't know if they take a piece of software 39 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: and they put it into their websites or whatever. In 40 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 3: this case, it's affecting a lot of crypto wallets that 41 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 3: are out there, and so it's a massive problem because 42 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 3: this supply chain attack of basically a supply chain of 43 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 3: a piece of software that gets tos tribute all kinds 44 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 3: of places with maybe no record that's even there is 45 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 3: it can affect the applications you use every day. And 46 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 3: in a lot of case, what they're seeing where a 47 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 3: lot of these applications were affected. We're crypto wallets, So 48 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 3: if you're transferring crypto, one of the things that's happening 49 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: is malicious attacker. So it's where if you go to 50 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 3: transfer crypto, the software actually swaps out the setting address 51 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 3: that you're sending to with their address, So they're accumulating 52 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 3: crypto from people trying to make legitimate transactions by just 53 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 3: changing that out. 54 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: Wow, got it. So now every time you click buy 55 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: or you add a card right now, now you've got 56 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: to think about that, right. 57 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 4: No, it's crazy. 58 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 3: As we talk with HB ninety six, it's even these 59 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 3: things can be related, right because you know, when when 60 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,839 Speaker 3: it's software, it's embedded in software you use, you don't 61 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 3: necessarily know those things are happening. So like within PM, 62 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: it's invisible to everybody out there, you know, but it's everywhere, right, 63 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 3: it's the software library system that developers use to build 64 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 3: these apps and websites, and so you know, I think 65 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 3: It's like the plumbing behind all of your favorite apps, 66 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 3: you know. 67 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: Right right right, We don't think about it until now 68 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: we can breach that as well. And this gets back 69 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: to the discussion about HB ninety six. Here cybersecurity legislature 70 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: across the state. The state says, well, if you're in 71 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: a municipality, you have to come up with a plan 72 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: to deal with cyber attacks on local love. We've got 73 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: to review your do a systems review, identify risks and 74 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: mitigation and stuff like that. But I mean that'd be 75 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: okay for Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland. Maybe if you're a Toledo 76 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: or a Dayton or a city like Youngstown for example. 77 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: But you know, we have a lot, a lot of 78 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: small communities just here in the lit Sting area right 79 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: here in Cincinnati as well. How good are these municipalities 80 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: going to be where maybe I don't know a couple 81 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: dozen or ten people who administrate that municipality. Should we 82 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: really be put in in their hands because I don't 83 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: don't they have the resources? 84 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: Well, see, here's the thing about it is, and you 85 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 3: know you and I've talked about cyber for a while. 86 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: Here is that the commodity technology that's out there in 87 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 3: the market just it just doesn't work. And and that's 88 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: that's something that people don't like me to say, especially 89 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 3: in this industry, but it's the truth of it. And 90 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 3: you know, if you look at all of the reports 91 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 3: year after year, the time it takes to detect a 92 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 3: threat right now is seven years. 93 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 2: I mean that seven years starts seven months. That's grown years. 94 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 3: Well sometimes you know, with with the attack against Dropbox, 95 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 3: it was four years, right so so, but average right 96 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 3: now with seven months and and and that's where you know, 97 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 3: the part of the issue is the cyber industry just 98 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 3: doesn't have a significant amount of. 99 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 4: Time you have pivot that really is effective. 100 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 3: And when it is effective tech it does take teams 101 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 3: that have high skill sets in and have a lot 102 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 3: of time to focus on that. And unfortunately in our 103 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: school districts and local governments, you know, they don't have 104 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 3: the funding. You know, they're they're they're not giving the 105 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 3: funding to do it. And you know, if you watch 106 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 3: some of these uh, you know, council meetings, you'll find 107 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: where is you know, someone bring up a purchase for 108 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 3: cybersecurity and it gets trumps because of sidewalks fixes, right, 109 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 3: and which are both important, but but they just don't 110 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 3: get the funding and they don't have the resources. So 111 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 3: to your point, yes, it's going to be a problem. 112 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: Now. 113 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: You know what happens though in these organizations is they 114 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 3: buy commodity software that is more automatic, and that's that's 115 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 3: part of the issue, is that the automatic approach to 116 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 3: cyberturity doesn't work, and so these school districts are going 117 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 3: to have to spend a lot more money. Local governments 118 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 3: are gonna have to do the same. They're going to 119 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 3: have to bolster their teams up, uh, and they're going 120 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: to have to really be wise about the tech that 121 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: they i inside the environments, you know that they that 122 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 3: they use. 123 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: Right right, Well, that's the thing is finding the proper vendor. 124 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: But it's up to the municipality though to figure out, 125 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: you know, what the detection is there too. So the 126 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: onus is on them is in this in this bill, 127 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: Can I just go, wait a minute, I've got a 128 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: bad vendor or I hired someone doesn't know what the 129 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: hell they're doing. Does that cover them legally from the 130 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: state perspective? What about that? Because I don't know what 131 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, you. 132 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 3: Know, yeah, it doesn't And That's really the thing with 133 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 3: all of this is that you know, companies have to 134 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 3: be extremely careful about the tech they buy. They can't 135 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 3: just buy a brand name. And in fact, if you 136 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 3: look at that seven months of time, that's driven by 137 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 3: the you know, the organizations that have quoe unquote more 138 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 3: market share. So you have to be really careful about 139 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 3: the organizations you buy because at the end of the day, 140 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 3: you are legally responsible because you chose where to put 141 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 3: the data. And in this case, you know there there's 142 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 3: you know, the responsibility to report. I mean, you have 143 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 3: to report an incident within seven days, you know, from 144 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 3: when it happened. I mean right now, it's seven months 145 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 3: to even detect it. You have to you know, you 146 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 3: can't ransomware, which I think is a good thing in 147 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 3: most cases because it will it will slow down the 148 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 3: process for these attackers. I think it'll make school districts 149 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 3: a lot less of a target in some ways because 150 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 3: they'll be harder to get them. But they have to 151 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: get either bord approval or they have to get council 152 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 3: approval to pay ransomware now, which is really good. But 153 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 3: the other thing that I I'll say, I do really 154 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 3: love about this bill, and it's something that I think 155 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 3: Ohio did really really well and the states like California 156 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 3: did really really poorly. And basically in this bill, it 157 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 3: makes all cybersecurity records and purchases confidential, and in like California, 158 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 3: they have to report everything they do literally public record. 159 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 3: And so why that's important is when you're when you're 160 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 3: fighting against cyber attacks that know what they're doing. And 161 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 3: if you have a document that you literally just put 162 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 3: out there right and you tell everybody all the technology 163 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: you use and all the purchase you use and all 164 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 3: your records, then they know exactly how to attack you. 165 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 3: So I think Ohio did a really good thing. You 166 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 3: don't normally see that from lawmakers a lot because they're 167 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 3: not really technologically advanced when they write these laws. Ohio 168 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 3: did an awesome job. 169 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: That's incredible. Here's California, Silicon Valley, Apple, all these big 170 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: and they screw it up. Here's Ohio. We get it right. 171 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: Good for right, we get it right. 172 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: The reason I live at Ohio now California. Chris and I. 173 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: Heis CEO of vigil and Cybersecurity in Cincinnati, Ohio, and 174 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: the State Aunor's office and now legislation proposed coming together 175 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: to require musavels to developed cybersecurity policies, which is important. 176 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: Sounds boring, but important, but I mean just think about it. 177 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: Just to what this month we had the City of Middletown, 178 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: for example, right there, they had an attack disrupted city services, 179 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: in person operations, online functions. They're trying to resolve the 180 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: issue right now, and largely these it happened to call 181 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: this last year. As a matter of fact, it was 182 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: a major one. I think it breached like five hundred 183 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: thousand people, including names and dobs, addresses, tax accounts, socials, 184 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: all that stuff that's stolen and sold in the dark web. 185 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: Still have no idea who did it, where the information is. 186 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: It's just out there in the ether, and there's no 187 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: catching these people, as we've talked about before, Chris, But 188 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: those are two of many. I think the problem for 189 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: me is, and I heard about this firsthand from a friend, 190 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: Kettering Health Alliance had a ransomware malware attack shut everything down, 191 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: and I don't know what the outcome was, but you know, 192 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: their pr people kind of played it close to the vest, like, hey, 193 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: everything's fine, we got it under control. We're working on 194 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: the problem and there's no disclosure. Now, if you're that's 195 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: one thing in your company, but if it's your health records, 196 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: if it's your social if it's your address, I need 197 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: to know that that information has been compromised and it's transparency, 198 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 1: so you look at it go. You know, I just 199 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: don't want to be held accountable. I don't want to 200 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: get voted out if I'm a Middletown City council person, 201 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: if I'm the mayor of Columbus, or I'm the CEO 202 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: of a healthcare operation, I don't want that on my 203 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: I'm the one that staying on my record. So we'll downplay. 204 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: That's not good for the people who have been victimized. 205 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 3: Though it's not you know, you know, we we have 206 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 3: to be better. You know, organizations have to be better 207 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 3: at communicating. They have to they have to not hide it. 208 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 3: You know, that's where a lot of these classacks are 209 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 3: lasting against these organizations are starting to come around. The 210 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 3: one thing I will say is that is that when 211 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 3: it comes to these records, you know, when you when 212 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 3: you want, you know, our records, yours of mine already stolen. 213 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 3: You know, the majority of the population over eighteen already stolen. 214 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 2: I mean, there's been so many breaches one after the. 215 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 3: Other that data is out there, especially as social numbers 216 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 3: things like that. Yeah, where schools come into play in 217 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 3: the municipalities. There's two things that are interesting here. One 218 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 3: is every year as kids turn turns eighteen, right, it's 219 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 3: a new group of people whose identities haven't been compromised yet. 220 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 3: And so schools are a great place where a packer 221 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 3: men get high value target information. And what I mean 222 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 3: high value target is yours. My records sell for about 223 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 3: a dollar. 224 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 2: Out there in the marketplace. 225 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 3: Some of that's turning step, you know, seventeen eighteen, their 226 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 3: records are going to sell for a lot more out 227 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 3: of the hacking marketplace because they haven't been used yet, 228 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 3: whereas yours or mine, you know, if they have to 229 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 3: prove it everything else. So schools are a major target 230 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 3: for that. So you know, as a parent, one of 231 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 3: the things you can do right now is make sure 232 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 3: you get identity SEFF protection for your kids, even though 233 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 3: they're under eighteen, they have to have that. Make sure 234 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 3: you lock down their credit because what happens is these 235 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: you know, go to apply for their first vehicle and 236 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 3: they realize they have apportable credit score because you know 237 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 3: their identity. Since you know with that, when it comes 238 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 3: to municipalities, you know, we are in an international cyber war, 239 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 3: it already happens. 240 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,239 Speaker 2: Then people in this industry know it. 241 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 3: We as as you know citizens United States, have to 242 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 3: realize that that it is an it. 243 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: Is an actual border to border war. 244 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 3: And with that, our municipalities, our local police departments are 245 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 3: emergencies response systems. You know, when cyber war continues to escalate, 246 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 3: those are the places that are going to get shut 247 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 3: down first, right and you're not going to have the services, 248 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 3: so that there has to be accountability to make sure 249 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 3: that these things are done right in that our identity 250 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 3: is propected. 251 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it's interesting you just assume your 252 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: information is out there as an adult, and so you know, 253 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: we have the credit monitoring thing going on and we 254 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: have a lifelog or whatever the version is of it 255 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: that we have, but that's a good brand. And also 256 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: make sure that our credit reports are locked down. And 257 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: so we originally bought a new house and had to 258 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: go remember to unlock all the credit reports for a 259 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: while till they pulled your credit and then locked them 260 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: back up is that the best pay is that the 261 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: best you can do to prevent your information from me 262 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: you just assume it's being misused. But if you have 263 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: your credit the three credit viers locked down, then there's 264 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: not much they can do as far as trying to 265 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,119 Speaker 1: get credit. 266 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 3: In your name, right right, I mean in that finance 267 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 3: side of things. So yes, walking things down there, making 268 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 3: sure you have credit holds, you know, unless you're going 269 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 3: to purchase something, then turn the credit hold off and 270 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 3: then turn it back on. Make sure you're working with 271 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 3: a reputable organization will text your credit. But also make 272 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 3: sure that you have insurance around it, you know, identity 273 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 3: sept protection. You know, getting your identity back can cost 274 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 3: over a million dollars sometimes and so you know, I 275 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 3: mean it depends you one hundred thousand million, you know wherever, 276 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 3: how widespread that is. So make sure you have insurance, 277 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 3: you know, with whoever you're working with. And again for 278 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 3: your kids. You have to make sure that you do 279 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 3: that for your kids. 280 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 2: If you if you. 281 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 3: Don't, if you haven't done it, do it today, right 282 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 3: because right because it's it's a growing problem. 283 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: Socause you're young, you don't you're not, thank you know, 284 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: you haven't pulled any credit yet, and so I don't 285 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: need to lock my credit down. 286 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 2: I don't. 287 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: But all they need is a social security number. And 288 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: you know, you can be sixteen, seventeen, eighteen and they 289 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: can use that social We've seen them user for dead 290 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: people and newborns. Why not teenagers? We just don't think 291 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: of it right. 292 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 3: And the other thing too is you know what, you know, 293 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 3: what your kids you turn eighteen, you know, help them 294 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 3: put them on your credit card as well. And and 295 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 3: then that way they have some if something does happen 296 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 3: where their identity is stolen, you at least have some 297 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 3: good credit that is built then, so they can they 298 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 3: can bounce it off, you know, set them up for success. 299 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's you know, you know this data is 300 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 2: so widespread. 301 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 3: Companies just I'll just say, companies do. 302 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 2: Not protect data the way they're supposed to. 303 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 3: And and a lot of it isn't their fault in 304 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 3: the sense. 305 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 2: Of what we were talking about earlier. 306 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 3: It's they're the ones that made the decision to choose 307 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 3: the technology or the solutions that they put in, but 308 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 3: they don't have the skill set to do the due 309 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 3: diligence to it or they don't have the budget to 310 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 3: purchase the things they need, and so it is a 311 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 3: growing problem. It's going to keep getting worse until there's 312 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 3: a lot more accountability in place. But then with the 313 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 3: accountability comes regulation, and with regulation there's somethings less, less flexibility. 314 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 3: So you know, it's a it's a fine line. 315 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 2: All right. 316 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: So cybersecurity legislation coming together at the Ohio level that 317 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: require municipalities to develop their our own cybersecurity policies. Basically, 318 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: hire a good company and that way you've kind of 319 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: got like a back phone, you call someone and instead 320 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: of getting caught with your pants down. And we've seen 321 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: it happen in Columbus, We've seen it happen in Middletown 322 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: and elsewhere, and it's going to happen every day. So 323 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: at least this is a step in the right direction. 324 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: And I'll abide to you, Chris, because you're the expert 325 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: here and saying this is good law.

It was a horrible thing that happened. 341 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: Then we learned that, uh, he's the guy initiated this. 342 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: So the truck drive six down truck driver is unloading 343 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: his truck. He's like waiting for a shipment of cooking 344 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: oiled or something. He's a loading dock. I think they 345 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: said a receiving area, so I'm guessing was a loading dock. 346 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 2: I don't know. 347 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: Maybe it's front of the hotel, so it's late or 348 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: early morning. I guess I should say he's out there 349 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: doing his job. And Sanchez rolls up stinking drunk, I guess, 350 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: just smelling and smelling of alcohols what they said, and 351 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: tells me he's got to move his truck. He's like, oh, 352 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: I'm working, man, I'm not moving my well, you got it, 353 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: and he starts like getting in his face and threatening him, 354 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: and at one point starts attacking and trying to take 355 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: the phone of the sixte nine year old truck driver. 356 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: He pulls out Perry told us pepper spray, fires it 357 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: at Sanchez fire he goes nuts and starts hitting him 358 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: even harder. So he pulls out a knife and self 359 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: defense and starts cutting up Sanchez, at which point I 360 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: guess he stumbles away and anyway, Perry tolls in the hospital. 361 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: I saw the pictures and it looks bad. He got 362 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: his He got despite having the pepper spray and a knife. 363 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: He's still a seven year old against a thirty something 364 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: year old former NFL football player, and he got whooped on. 365 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: He's the guy's a mess and as a result, now 366 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: he has foiled a lawsuit against Fox Sports as well 367 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: as Mark Sanchez. So it is one of the most 368 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: bizarre I don't know, off field sports related cases I 369 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: think I've ever seen. It was just a craz what so, 370 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: what the hell is Sanchez doing? 371 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 2: Tell him? 372 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: This guy's got to move his truck from a loading 373 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: from a loading dock, is unless it was in front 374 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: of the hotel or something. And he's like, I was 375 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: waiting for a ride and thought he had, I don't know, 376 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: kind of like at the airport, you know, people stand 377 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: there and mark their territory when waiting for the pick up. 378 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: Like it doesn't work that way. It's first come for renservatives. 379 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: There's no reserving a drop up or pickoff spot. It's 380 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: just people show up. Man, what are you going to do? 381 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: And why the hell does Sanchez care? Anyway? The crazy story, 382 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: crazy story, all right, more federal furlough Well in this case, 383 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: it'd be the furloughed workers that are concerned right now. 384 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: And I for since this thing began, been talking about 385 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: the feeder of it, and then you know, eventually what 386 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: winds up happening is we get more and more inconvenienced. 387 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: I mentioned yesterday about airports for example, not the big 388 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: although Nashville, I guess was impacted to some degree. But 389 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: you know, they make it just n cut cut enough, 390 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: just to make it uncomfortable for me and you to notice. 391 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: So you're going to go a fly out of somewhere 392 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: and go, oh my god, the tower's closed and flights 393 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 1: are delayed, and yeah it's you know, we're not stopping 394 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,479 Speaker 1: are traffic completely, but we're making it uncomfortable for you. 395 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: We're going to make it so you notice. But buying large, 396 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: the big stuff continues. Only eight percent of the government 397 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: is shut down. It's see eight percent that would make 398 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: us feel uncomfortable. You know, the big stuff is still 399 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: going to get taken care of, which is why this 400 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 1: is all nonsense in theater. And it'd be kind of 401 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: amusing if it were a fact. It was costing us 402 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: even more money we have to borrow, adding more and 403 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: more to the federal deficit and debt every time we 404 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: shut the government down for silly reasons. Nonetheless, starting Friday, 405 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: this is going to be the last day Friday for 406 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 1: many federal workers as far as their paychecks go. And 407 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: a White House memo was leaked out that argues furloughed 408 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: federal workers are not until the back pay after the 409 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: government shutdown lifts, and that kind of contradicts what's been 410 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 1: said before and done in the past. And of course, 411 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 1: as you know, everything is subject to negotiation, change and 412 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: just getting out right blown up under the current administration, 413 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,959 Speaker 1: that's how they roll. There's something called the twenty nineteen 414 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: Government Employee Fair Treatment Act that mandates all federal employees, 415 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 1: if your furloughed working on pay, must receive back pay 416 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: after shutdown. Not quite sure how that works here. The 417 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: White House thinks that law doesn't automatically cover all furlow workers. 418 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: And I know which ones you pick and which ones 419 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: you wouldn't. And this is indeed engaging the Democrats to 420 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 1: get them voted for a continuing resolution to fund the 421 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: government for what seven more weeks before you do this 422 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: all over again. I don't know. My gut reaction to 423 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: the whole thing is. I know there's many people that 424 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: will just no matter what Trump does, they agree with them. 425 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of people like that, for sure. 426 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: I don't understand that line of thinking quite honestly. I 427 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: think that's silly. But hey, if your team Trump and 428 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: somehow you think that scores you points and you're super 429 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: an ultra maga and you can't drift away from the 430 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: little protected group of Thompson's gazelles, away from the pond 431 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: because you're afraid that I know, the liberal line is 432 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: gonna come out and get you or something like that. 433 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: That's on you. I don't know. It seems a sense 434 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: of propriety. It's like, if you have a job and 435 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: you don't shot for your job and you don't have 436 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: sick days, or you're out of sick days, you're out 437 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: of vacation days, you're not gonna get paid. Okay, that's 438 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: just how it works in the real world. Now, if 439 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: in this case the politicians shut everything down to score 440 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: some points with voters or their constituents, which is all 441 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 1: this is, then that's not on you. You showed up 442 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: ready to work and the deal is in the past. Well, 443 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: if you shut down and we may not get it 444 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: this week, but at some point I'll be made whole. 445 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: That seems reasonable, you go, well, Sloan, that just adds 446 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: to the national the federal deaf. That's I mean literally, Now, 447 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: I think people argue that are pursing in the sense 448 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: that it's what the federal plays make. What the four 449 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: hundred thousand, it's such such an insignificant number. I mean, 450 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: it's significant, but it's not. It's the other stuff that 451 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: we continue to do that bankrupt the country. This is 452 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: literally pennies, but you're not worried about the dollars. That 453 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense to me. And not only that, this 454 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: is actual, real, live human beings, you know. Okay, they 455 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: took a well that's what you get working for the 456 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: federal government. You shouldn't work for the federal goal. Well, 457 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: you know, that's not what they told people when they 458 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: offered the job. It's not like people came to them 459 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 1: and demanded them to create a position for them. Someone 460 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: at some point said, hey, there's federal jobs available. Here's 461 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: a federal job. And some of these people may have 462 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: been hired under the previous Trump administration or maybe even 463 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: during the Bush administration, who knows. Nonetheless, the deal was, hey, 464 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 1: you show up, you get paid, here's the job. Hey 465 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: we have a job opening. Okay, grant, I'm gonna go 466 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 1: into the federal government. And certainly the benefits are really 467 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: damn good. You get every of their day off on 468 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: a holiday. But we know them as the rules. And 469 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 1: when you have a mortgage to pay, when you have 470 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: a family to take care of, I feel for you 471 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: if you're furloughed in the sense that, okay, after Friday, 472 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: I don't have any money coming, and that's a problem. 473 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 1: But at some point in two weeks a week, whenever 474 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: this thing's settled, maybe been up to what the longest 475 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: one we had with thirty five days, and at some point, 476 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: all right, we'll get you your money. But you know, 477 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: just to simply say, hey, you're not working, you're not 478 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: getting paid, you know, just another one of those unforced 479 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: errors that the Trump administration continues to commit. It doesn't 480 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: really help. I mean, I can't imagine people that are 481 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: routing who the hell's rooting for someone not to get 482 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: a paycheck, going hey, yeah, this is awesome. The pennies 483 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: that we're saving, literally with all the with the thirty 484 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: seven trillion dollars plus in debt we are, this is 485 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: going to save literally fractions of cents. Yay, good, let's 486 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: punish these What do they do wrong? You know, simply 487 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 1: we're hired for a job, could have been a year ago, 488 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: could have been ten, twenty thirty years ago. Who the 489 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: hell knows, and now they're not getting paid, so I'm 490 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,959 Speaker 1: not quite sure a vendors for that matter. It just 491 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: seems kind of pad once again, one of those petty 492 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: things that we continue to do. So you know, if 493 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,239 Speaker 1: you're cheering for someone not to get paid, I think 494 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: that reflects upon you more than anything. And all in all, 495 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: it's the notion that somehow we distrusted government this country 496 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: for so long. That has been a cornerstone of America 497 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: really since our foundation. I mean, we broke away because 498 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: we hated government. We trust it, and now all of 499 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like, yay, whether if I'm on team Writer, 500 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: team Blue, no matter what they do is one hundred 501 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: percent right. And I'll point that out to again. If 502 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: you just get government the hell out of the way 503 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: and a lot of us make money and live our lives, 504 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: it seems to work much better. 505 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 4: You know. 506 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: Another area that would be letting parents parent. Would you 507 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: agree that we may not be perfect when it comes 508 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: to parenting, may not be the best parents or in 509 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: retrospect of God, I don't know a parent unless they're 510 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: not completely honest themselves. That later in life, as they 511 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: age get older and their kids grow up, you go, 512 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: you know, there's some things that would done differently. I 513 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: think you're open and honest with yourself and your kids. 514 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: You go, yeah, there's some things I did or I 515 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: thought was right at the time that turns out in 516 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: retrospect was the wrong thing. And sometimes you luck into 517 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: things they're good as well. I think that's true. But 518 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: they say, you know, there's no handbook, that there's no instruction, man, 519 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: and when it comes to having a child. Plus you're 520 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: also fairly young too, and you have a lot to 521 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: learn in life. I think that's why grandparents are so 522 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: good is because we've been through it. We've seen cycles, 523 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: we've seen history, we've lived it. The stuff we thought 524 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: was important, we realize it's not that important. I think 525 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: grandparents are much better parents than actual parents. And that's 526 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: not a slight towards parents. It's just like, you know more, 527 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: that's the allegedly the wisdom that comes along and maybe 528 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 1: I do things a little bit different. And that's why, yeah, 529 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: I've got to Gramma and Grandpa's like, you know, we 530 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: don't have all the strict roles and the nonsense that 531 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: goes with this, and that's the balance of life and 532 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: that's true for every generation. And I bring this up 533 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: kind of playing off of what we just talked about, 534 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: but also the fact that Supreme Court are arguments yesterday 535 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: and whether this is Colorado, Colorado has a ban as 536 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: I think twenty states do in America. I'm conversion therapy. 537 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: That that the argument is interesting argument. So it's a 538 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: Christian therapist and she is challenging the law that prohibits 539 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 1: licensed mental health therapists and providers from attempting to change 540 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: a minor sexual orientation or gender identity, called conversion therapy. 541 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: We've heard about this for years and a lot of 542 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: religious groups are behind it because it's biblical to believe 543 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: that it's a moral to be gay or lesbian or transgender, 544 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: whatever it might be. And it's been opposed by medical 545 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: organizations because they say, now this is actually more harmful 546 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: to force them into conversion therapy rather than go along 547 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: with it. And you know, we've debated this when it 548 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: comes to transgender issues and the like in the Buckeye 549 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: State as well as Kentucky and Indiana for that matter. 550 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: And so this lady is the k has the case. 551 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: Kaylee Choles is her name, and she's going after the 552 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: rule of the law that prohibits therapists like yourself from 553 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: attempting to change a miner's sex orientation or gender identity. 554 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: She said, it's because it infringes on her ability to 555 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: counsel miners within a faith based context. It's a First 556 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 1: Amendment argument, It's what. It's a really interesting argument, thinking, well, wow, 557 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: if you believe, because of biblical teachings that you can 558 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: convert someone to become straight when they're gay, then that 559 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: should be allowed. Now would you draw the line the 560 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,360 Speaker 1: abuse and neglect and punishment and you're locking a kid 561 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: in a box and some of these horror stories you 562 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: hear about, I don't know for some of these re 563 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: education camps they call it. Yeah, but if you're to 564 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: counsel them, I think that in a clinical setting, I 565 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: think that's an entirely different thing. Do I agree with it? 566 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter because much like the other side of 567 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: this argument would be what's happened in Ohio when it 568 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: came to preventing transgender kids from accessing puberty blockers and 569 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: hormone therapist therapy interest in general. And you can say, well, 570 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: that's different. This is this is someone talking, This is 571 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: not a chemical you're injecting. It doesn't matter. The fact 572 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: of the matter is that there is a parent and 573 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: there's also a medical community to think that this is 574 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: a reasonable and quite honestly not not debilitating process to 575 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: in this case try and change someone's gender. Like I 576 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: don't get all of it myself, but it seems to 577 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: me that if you're arguing and going, hey, listen, we 578 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: should be fighting for Kaylee Childs in her First Amendment rights, 579 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 1: in the First Amendment rights of other Christians to counsel 580 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: a young person a minor into becoming straight when they're gay. 581 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: I don't know if you can, actually I don't believe 582 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: you can do that, but it doesn't mean you can't try. 583 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: And also either and when you look at what's going 584 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: on with with we talked about the transgender thing, is 585 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: that their parents have fully believe that, Yeah, you know what, 586 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: I've kind of known that my son was maybe it 587 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: was a girl, maybe you know, genetically speaking, certainly when 588 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 1: it comes to the body parts and the biology that 589 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: they are born a man and they're a man or 590 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: a boy in this case, and you know, they may 591 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: have proclivities to or just being a woman and more 592 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: womanly things. But again, I think that's up to the 593 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: parent to make that tough decision or to try and 594 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: do what's best at what they think at that moment 595 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: based on the permission to have to simply parent. Doesn't 596 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: mean it's right. Could be wrong. But I could say 597 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: the same thing about what's happening with this case in Colorado. 598 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: Could be wrong, maybe right. Parenting is the toughest job 599 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: in the world, and I know this. We're not good 600 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: at it, none of us are. Because look at the 601 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: state of the world. Most of the problems and crimes 602 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: and everything else we have is why. It's because we 603 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: suck as parents. We've always sucked as parents. They can 604 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: talk about the old days out you know, the good 605 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: old day when the good old days parents could parent 606 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: and parents. Yeah, we weren't good parents back then. Either 607 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: you just do the best you can. Hell wasn't that 608 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: long ago. Or we just had kids because we needed 609 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: cheap labor, we needed free labor. Why do you have 610 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: eleven kids all I've got to run the farm? Well, 611 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: you know what, eleven kids because anything about birth control 612 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: or it's against their religions. So we got all these kids, 613 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: and you know somebody's got to I don't know, somebody's 614 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: got to knit those sweaters. Somebody's gotta make those shoes 615 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: in the sweats out. And then the kids were doing 616 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: somebody's got to sit there and break up blumps of coals. 617 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: That comes out of the mind, Well, well let kids 618 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,479 Speaker 1: do that, so it kids is cheap labor. I wouldn't 619 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: say that that's exactly nominously the greatest generation ever of parents, 620 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: More like the greatest generation ever of people who produced 621 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: free labor. Cheap labor. But that's what we knew at 622 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: the time. They did the best they could do with 623 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: what we knew at the time, and you really can't 624 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: fault people for that same thing. 625 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 4: Here. 626 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: It just strikes me is whether it's the people that 627 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: are going to be fighting for the Supreme Court to 628 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: overturn this band on free speech when it comes to Christians, 629 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: or in the fact, when it comes to parents who 630 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,479 Speaker 1: believe it's in their kids' best interests, their family's best interests, 631 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: to allow a kid to go through conversion therapy. Sexual 632 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: conversion therapy, it's really not any of my business or yours, 633 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: and it certainly isn't the business of the government now 634 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll get all blown up and say, well, 635 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: you said it's different. You're putting these poisonous chemicals and 636 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: these things, and you're allowing them to inject their kid 637 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: with I don't know. We alter kids' bodies all the time, 638 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: first and foremost. I mean, then if that's the case, 639 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: then we don't want to alter what God did to you. 640 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: Then why are we circumcising boys still? There's no reason 641 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: for that. There's no reason for young babies to have 642 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: ear piercings and stuff. I mean, how far do you 643 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: want to go with government outlawing stuff that you think 644 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: is okay. As a parent, you may cringe at it 645 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: and go, yeah, I wouldn't do that to my kid. 646 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: But again, that's the whole point of this thing. It's 647 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: your child now. Is it neglect? Is it abuse? And 648 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: I love how they try and make this the issue 649 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: of neglect or abuse either way, that you're abusing this 650 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: kid because you're talking about them about Christianity and whether 651 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: it's a good idea and why you shouldn't be gay. 652 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: At the same time, you can apply the same thing 653 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: to what we're talking about when it comes to transgender kids, 654 00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: and each side is going to dig their heels and 655 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: scream about why the other side's wrong. But again, it's 656 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: that divisiveness if that's at that one side, and this 657 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: that I'm right and you're always wrong attitude that gets 658 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: us to the cringy, if not dangerous nature of life 659 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: in America today, where we have political violence and everything else. 660 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: You know, again, the problem is government. So you just 661 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: get the hell out of the way. Let us parent now, 662 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: you and neglect abuse, You don't feed your kid. How 663 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: We had a horrific story the other day, and I 664 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: forgot where, but locally where you had these poor babies, 665 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,719 Speaker 1: three of them that were emaciated. Right, The eight year 666 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: old weighed like thirty pounds, the six year old weigh 667 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: like ten pounds. Horrible story. And every time I see 668 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: one of those stories, I look at us. There's always 669 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: at least one, if not both, of the parents that 670 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: are fat bastards. Did you ever notice that when it 671 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: comes to the people who starve these poor babies and 672 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: deliberately treat them, I don't know, worse than a pet 673 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: for whatever reason. You know, one of them, they're always obese. 674 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: It's like, are you eating all their food? I don't 675 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: understand how you can allow this as a human being 676 00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: to happen. But people like that, to me are sub 677 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: Now that's an issue we have all. Okay, that's neglect 678 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: and abuse. What we're talking about here is people just 679 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: trying to get by and do the right thing, and 680 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: you know we're criminalizing on either side. The sillinessess of 681 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: it is there's so many people willing to go along 682 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: with it because there's an hour a D next to 683 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: their name and that's all that matters to them. We 684 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: should not be listening to those folks. Quick time out. 685 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: We've got news on the way and just minute, Sloaney 686 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: continues after seven hundred WW do you want to be 687 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: an American? Slowly back on seven hundred WLW. The biggest 688 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: news of the well of the week the shock Cincinnati's 689 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: sending a twenty twenty six fifth round pick to Cleveland 690 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: in exchange for a six round selection and forty year 691 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: old Joe Flacco to SOS save our season, mainly because 692 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: he was available and seemingly he is the only backup 693 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: not tied up in a progressive insurance ad. We couldn't 694 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: get the Veto or Bridgewater. We got Flaco. James rapine 695 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: this year from Sports Illicitris bendelstock dot Com, Lockdo on 696 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: Bendel's podcast, James, welcome. 697 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 4: How are you? We're doing great? Are you? 698 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: I'm doing fine? Does this mean that the club is 699 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: confident that that Joe Burrow is going to return in December? 700 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: And I mean that because yeah, normally you look at this, 701 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: it go this, Okay, are we going to win any 702 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: more games? Are we going to make some deals, get 703 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: a quarterback, or just right the season off, because let's 704 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: face it, it's not just the quarterback and going down 705 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: as a problem. There's a host of other problems as well, 706 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: and we have to systematically rebuild and do everything differently 707 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: and get ready for twenty twenty six. This feels to 708 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: me like, hey, you know what, maybe he's coming back 709 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: in the summer. 710 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 4: Oh yeah. And I tried to be indirect with people 711 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 4: as possible, because you're right, I think a lot of 712 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 4: people have shut the door on Joe Burrow returning this season, 713 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 4: and internally that is the expectation. Joe takes snatch to 714 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 4: him this year. He set that standard splash expectation. You 715 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 4: put that on himself before he had surgery, before he 716 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 4: had surgery. He was like, all right, I'm going to 717 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 4: be back this year, and so yeah, I think so. 718 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 4: But like you've seen, the Bengals haven't held up their 719 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 4: end of the bargain Marlin three without Joe, they've been 720 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 4: out toward one thirteen to what was it, thirteen to 721 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 4: thirty seven. I had to count all the garbage time 722 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 4: points right in my head with three games with Jake Browning, 723 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 4: and so yeah, I think that that is a huge 724 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 4: indicator of their plans. They expect Jobert to be back 725 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 4: this year, but they have to be relevant enough for 726 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 4: him to come back. 727 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: And you know, when this news broke, I was like, wow, 728 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 1: the Bengals did a deal and they did a deal 729 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,839 Speaker 1: with the division rival, and I was like, yeah, wow, 730 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: it just blew me away. And then I started thinking about, Okay, 731 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: it's Joe Flacco and I you know, from the limited 732 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: Browns games I've watched or saw him play. I went 733 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: back and looked at and it just you know, you're 734 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 1: looking at the other options. Okay, who else is available 735 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: out there? And we've run the list down. We run 736 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 1: the list down on our Monday segment of quarterbacks available 737 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: to take over for Jake Browning and this one now 738 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: in retrospect, it just it just felt like my gut 739 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: reaction was, this is like the best chance of all 740 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: the worst options available right for all intents and purposes. 741 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: It's like a closing time look up. You know, you're 742 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: not the best pick of dudes. She seems like a 743 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: really nice person. She might be an axe murderer. I 744 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 1: don't know. It's a temporary arrangement. 745 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's exactly right. That's exactly right. The temporary 746 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 4: arrangement is the best way to describe it, because you 747 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 4: bring Joe in here to right the ship and to 748 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,879 Speaker 4: keep the ship at a spot where the other Joe 749 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 4: can come back. And man, I wish he would have 750 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,760 Speaker 4: started with a two and zero start that Jake Browning 751 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 4: had because it feels much different three weeks later and 752 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 4: so and will it be enough, I'm not sure, but 753 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 4: that's very much what it is. Is, Hey, we need 754 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 4: a guy who can get the ball to our weapons 755 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 4: and throw the ball to the right spot right, And 756 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 4: they believe Joe Blacker can do that clearly, Yeah. 757 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: And get up to speed quickly being in the league 758 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: as long as hea spent I mean he can still 759 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: as you mentioned the biggest thing with Browning is, you know, 760 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: he wasn't sure he's throwing the balls. It's not as 761 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,879 Speaker 1: much physical with with Jake Browning as it is mental, right, 762 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: And and now he's just throwing the ball all over 763 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,720 Speaker 1: the place. Uh, he's a scared dog. And I think also, 764 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: and maybe this is a second thing, is the fact 765 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: that Joe Flacco, this will be the second time in 766 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: four weeks he's played Green Bay. It's like it's almost 767 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: like he's in the NFC North, he's playing for Chicago. 768 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, that's right. I think that that is 769 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,760 Speaker 4: a factor though, that the up to up to speed 770 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,399 Speaker 4: part of it, and then the leadership part of it. 771 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 4: Later today when we hear from Zach Taylor, I know 772 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 4: they evaluated all these quarterback options and none of us 773 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 4: really highlighted Flacco too much because of the division part 774 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 4: of it. And that's what's really surprising. The Bengals trading 775 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 4: with the Browns. That's never happened. So they made history yesterday, 776 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 4: and so why and the why is, well, you have 777 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 4: the arm talent, but it's also the leadership in his football. IQ. 778 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 4: He's seen everything in the league because he's been in 779 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 4: the league since I was in high school. Yep, you know. 780 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 4: And so when you can do that, you have experience. 781 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 4: He's like a year and a half younger than Zach Taylor, 782 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 4: and so that's a big difference from twenty eight year 783 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 4: old Joe Burrow or Jake Browning as well as twenty nine. 784 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 4: So yeah, I think a bunch of factors. But his 785 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 4: football IQ and leadership are two big reasons why they 786 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 4: wanted him. 787 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: All right, But Flaco got bench for a reason. I mean, 788 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 1: it's not like he was keeping the seat room for 789 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel. Like you know, Cleveland fans, Browns fans, and 790 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: the dog pound it bones through it to those eight 791 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: hundred pound men and women weren't screaming for Dylan Gabriel. 792 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: This isn't Drake May, right, it's not Russell Wilson turning 793 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: it over to Drake May. This is Dylan Gabriel. And 794 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 1: we'll get to why. I think this is probably a 795 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: pretty good thing for Cleveland. But flack wan four starts 796 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: the seasons one in three completion rate is fifty eight percent, 797 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: two TV six interceptions his last full season in twenty seventeen. 798 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 1: Since twenty seventeen, which is why seven eight years he's 799 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: fourteen and twenty six. Well, okay, you look at that 800 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: and you go, wow, he's our guy. Why all right? 801 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 4: A couple of things. One, some of those interceptions this 802 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 4: year are not because I went back and watched, because 803 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 4: if you look at the numbers, you're right, You're like, 804 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 4: come on, he's been Jake Browning for the Browns. And 805 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 4: just think back to Week one. Didn't it feel like 806 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 4: the Browns let the Bengals off the hook because it 807 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 4: drops that led to interception? Yep, there really wasn't you know, 808 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 4: Jerry Judy can cash or Harold Fannings can catch that. 809 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 4: They were probably having a different conversation when it comes 810 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 4: to that game. And so I think that his weapon 811 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 4: let him down at times this year. Last year with Indy, yeah, 812 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 4: the record was a little lost two and four, but 813 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 4: he completed nearly sixty five percent of his passes, was 814 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 4: able to operate that offense. And then the year prior, 815 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,720 Speaker 4: he led the Browns to the playoffs and ap Comeback 816 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 4: Player of the Year and four and one as a 817 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 4: starter in the regular season and was a key piece 818 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 4: and a big reason why they were able to rally 819 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 4: with Deshaun Watson out. So I think that's what you 820 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 4: look at is all right, Well, he's been in these 821 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 4: weird situations, back against the wall situations. This year was 822 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 4: weird and awkward and clunky from the get go, and 823 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 4: his weapons put him down. But it is valid. I mean, 824 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 4: I think a lot of people thought Joe Blacker was 825 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 4: done years and years ago in twenty nineteen when he 826 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 4: joined the Denver Broncos. What's twenty twenty five? You know, 827 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 4: how much does he have? How much can he give? 828 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 4: Clearly he still wants to play, and in that when 829 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 4: he sounds Cleveland in the offseason and that's a weird 830 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 4: situation with two rookie quarterbacks. Fine, well, now you get 831 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 4: a chance to play here and play for the playoffs. 832 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's one thing Cleveland doesn't have a shortage 833 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 1: of his quarterbacks. He is James Rapine from bengalstock dot Com, Lockdown, 834 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 1: Begels and breaking Down. Of course, the news that the starter, 835 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: presumably on Sunday, is going to be Joe Flacco. Yes, 836 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,919 Speaker 1: that Joe Flacco gotten from the Browns for a six 837 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: round pick. He comes over to take over for a 838 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: dismal Jake Browning, although I'm looking at Flaco's numbers, we're 839 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 1: talking about that not really all that much better, arguably 840 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,240 Speaker 1: worse in some cases. But I look at this and go, okay, 841 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,359 Speaker 1: so what's the difference between offensive lines? It's not, isn't 842 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: The problem here in Cincinnati is we've often talked about 843 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: not just you know, Joe Burrow covers up a lot 844 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: of mistakes. When there's no Joe Burrow, I don't know 845 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: how many quarterbacks can come in and gloss that over 846 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: as he has now for a number of seasons. You've 847 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: got a bad offensive line, You've got questions of defense, 848 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: play calling. There's a lot of issues that's wrong with 849 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 1: this team, or at least questionable with this team as 850 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: far as Joe Flacco coming in and getting time to 851 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: do what he does, and that's through the deep ball. 852 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,840 Speaker 1: How to the Browns line offensive line compared to the 853 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 1: Bengals offensive line. 854 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 4: I think the Bengals offensive line is certainly worse at 855 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 4: run blocking because the Bengals have really struggled in that area. 856 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 4: And that's what I think is going to be interesting, 857 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 4: is just Joe Flaco does his arm and his arm 858 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 4: strength open up the deep ball, which will then in turn, 859 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 4: give the Bengals a chance to run the ball a 860 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 4: bit more effectively, because they certainly haven't been able to 861 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 4: do that at any point this year. But I do 862 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 4: think that the Bengals, from my pass blocking standpoint, might. 863 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 5: Have the better offensive line. 864 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,879 Speaker 4: Now, can you go the Joe Burrow route and drop 865 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,399 Speaker 4: Joe Flacco back fifty times a game? 866 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 5: Like? 867 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 4: I don't think that's realistic, right, But in a true 868 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 4: pass blocking situation, can they hold up? I do think so. 869 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 4: Offensive line is a huge shot in the town Scott 870 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,319 Speaker 4: and rightfully so. And they had their failures the other day, 871 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,840 Speaker 4: and they have had their issues throughout the year, but 872 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 4: I think the past two games they did enough to 873 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,840 Speaker 4: give this Bengals offense a chance and Jake Brownings simply 874 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 4: did not make the play. Is that we're there, and 875 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 4: that that's the difference. J is gonna get hit, you 876 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 4: know everyone's he's gonna get hit. But if he makes 877 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 4: the plays that are there, I do think that this 878 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 4: offense will be better, will be more explosive. But yeah, 879 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,280 Speaker 4: that the offensive line is a huge factor here moving forward. 880 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I look at it and go, well, the other 881 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 1: factor that we had mentioned, James is the fact he's 882 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 1: forty years old. I mean, you pocket passer, he can't 883 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 1: move out of the pocket. We saw Joe be able 884 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 1: to do that. There's another quarterbacks can do that. He 885 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 1: is just gonna he's going to be stationary and throw 886 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 1: the ball. He's not gonna be able to run. So 887 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: I look at that and go, wow, it's not going 888 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: to take much. Then if he's locked in the pocket 889 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,399 Speaker 1: and can't even roll out and extend the play, these 890 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: guys are going to tee off on them. And I 891 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,800 Speaker 1: don't want to say it's impossible that we have a 892 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,280 Speaker 1: sample size a decent one now and how this offensive 893 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 1: line is blocked, and it's certainly there are plays where 894 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,280 Speaker 1: he's going to have a little bit more time than others, 895 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 1: and maybe not as being gun shy and broken as 896 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: Jake Browning. But that that concerns me is the fact that, 897 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: all right, well, you the run game is pretty much 898 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: non existent with Chase brown We're a run game in 899 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: the NFL. We don't have to worry about the run 900 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 1: with this team. And now we're gonna now we're going 901 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 1: to target the quarterback and try and take away everything downfield. 902 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 1: From that seems like a fairly easy task base what 903 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 1: I've seen for the first number of games with this team. 904 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 1: And then on top of that, you turn the ball 905 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 1: over to the defense and say what you will about 906 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 1: the Bengals, you know, kind of mid defense. Brown's had 907 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,399 Speaker 1: one of the best defenses in the National Football League. 908 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 1: So they're going to get the ball back to the quarterback, 909 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 1: their quarterback more than the Bengals are doing. What am 910 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:33,839 Speaker 1: I missing here? 911 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 4: I totally agree there. You're not missing anything when it 912 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:43,840 Speaker 4: comes to that, and I think it's twofold one. The 913 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 4: Bengals they're set up to win games because of their weapons, 914 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 4: and so they felt like obviously Jake wasn't getting in 915 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 4: outside of their weapon to have a chance. So there's 916 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 4: one two. You're right, their defense is not going to 917 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,919 Speaker 4: win them games. It's not for that there. That wasn't 918 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 4: the expectation coming into the year. Remember how many how 919 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 4: many times did you hear a Hawks the defense is 920 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 4: just average, right? I mean that was such a thought. 921 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 4: And then Joe Burrogh goes down the offense stinct and 922 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 4: everything feels differently, So, uh, look, this offense is going 923 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,360 Speaker 4: to have to score points. I also think when you 924 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:23,640 Speaker 4: talk about the time to throw. This is where Zach 925 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 4: Taylor comes in. Pressures on Zach now because they went 926 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 4: and they got a quarterback in mid year. And I 927 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,359 Speaker 4: get it. He's not the he's not the Jill everybody wants, 928 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 4: but he's still capable. And so now, can can he 929 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 4: give Joe Flacco enough answers offensively, quick game offensively to 930 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 4: set up the play action stuff and the deep pats 931 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 4: in the explosive offense and he do what we've seen 932 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,240 Speaker 4: from some of these other offensive line as head coaches 933 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:57,359 Speaker 4: for their backup quarterbacks. That's that's what I look at, 934 00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,359 Speaker 4: and that's where I say, all right, well, let's see 935 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 4: what Dak can do with a guy that that clearly 936 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 4: still has a live enough arm to get the ball 937 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,400 Speaker 4: to their weapons. So I think that there's some some 938 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,960 Speaker 4: pressure on Zach Taylor here as well, following this move 939 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 4: in this trade for Joe. 940 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 1: Blackouh forwards Micah Parsons, Rashan Gary go. 941 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, and a Marius Menz Orlando Brown Jr. 942 00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 1: You know it's uh oh boy. 943 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 4: Right, And and Joe Blacker had to see this first 944 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 4: time a few weeks ago, and it was tough on 945 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,320 Speaker 4: the I mean they should have lost that game, and 946 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 4: the Browns bought tooth and nail and found a way 947 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 4: to win. And Joe Flaco made a few nice throws 948 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 4: in that game, twenty one thirty six passes, about forty 949 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 4: two had an interception, no touchdowns. But yeah, it's it's 950 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 4: a tough ask. There's a tough ask to say, Hey, Joe, 951 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 4: we we traded for you, and five days later, we 952 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 4: want you to go up against Micah Parsons on the 953 00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 4: road at Lambo. 954 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 1: And boy, here's the here's the thing, right, because you're 955 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of comparisons in the broadcast, and 956 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure Dan and Lapple do the same thing. It's like, hey, 957 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 1: you know, Cleveland goes to greenit beats him, and it 958 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:08,839 Speaker 1: was Joe Flacco orchestra and this whole thing. And if 959 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 1: they come out and look as bad or as close 960 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 1: to as bad as they did against the Lions and 961 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,879 Speaker 1: in previous games, it's going to turn towards Zach Titter 962 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:17,840 Speaker 1: pretty quickly, is it not? 963 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,719 Speaker 4: It certainly could now Really one clarification that game was 964 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 4: in Cleveland, it was not at Lambla. 965 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:25,959 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, your. 966 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 4: Point's still the same, though you need to have a 967 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,359 Speaker 4: good showing. You've been outscored one thirteen to thirty seven 968 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,400 Speaker 4: over the past three games if you take out garbage 969 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 4: time touchdowns one thirteen to nine when the game was 970 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 4: on the line, essentially, So it's, uh, it's it's just 971 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 4: really tough. 972 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 1: Plus you're gonna play with a very small playbook too. 973 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 1: It's not like they're going to come in and you know, 974 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 1: they got to blow everything up and go with a 975 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,799 Speaker 1: real fairly basic playbook, I guess for Joe Flacco, right, 976 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,840 Speaker 1: or maybe more than more so than a rookie quarterback. 977 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, there's there's only so much you 978 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:57,839 Speaker 1: can learn in what two days, three days? 979 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,880 Speaker 4: There is there is. But what I would say, sometimes 980 00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:10,879 Speaker 4: simple is what makes sense. Brown. Well, I just watched 981 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 4: Jake Brown and throw the ball and miss Chinsley when 982 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 4: he had a wide oven Jamar Chase run across his 983 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 4: face against the Broncos with the games still hanging in 984 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 4: the balance, and like those those easy plays, like if 985 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,200 Speaker 4: Joe Flacker can make those easy leads and those easy plays, 986 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 4: well that should lead to points on offense, we'll lead 987 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 4: to wins. I don't know, but there were a lot 988 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 4: of simple and basic plays that Jake brown just was 989 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,240 Speaker 4: not seeing and left on the field. 990 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and and not to say, you know, all negative 991 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,000 Speaker 1: is that he's going to die. And and there's a 992 00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 1: good chance we may see Jake Browning again. James correct, 993 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:45,280 Speaker 1: there's a good chance. 994 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:51,239 Speaker 4: I mean, you cannot lose lose Jake Browning. You got 995 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,839 Speaker 4: to keep him, to keep him, You've got to keep 996 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:55,400 Speaker 4: him dialed in, you got to keep him. 997 00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,239 Speaker 1: I agree with imagine we lose our second Joe to 998 00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,680 Speaker 1: turf toe? Could you imagine that's two Joe's two toes? 999 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 1: Be unbelievable, the most Bengel thing of all time. But 1000 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 1: you know, and and to not say it's the glass 1001 00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 1: is completely empty at this point that the Bendal said 1002 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 1: to do is that the AFC North is a team 1003 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:16,319 Speaker 1: of I mean, you can get there. At this point, 1004 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,240 Speaker 1: it feels like it's only gonna be eight nine wins. 1005 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 1: Look at the parody, especially AFC right now, it's anyone's 1006 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 1: anyone's title to grab. 1007 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:24,399 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1008 00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:28,399 Speaker 4: I think that's the other element here is we've seen 1009 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 4: how quickly it can change for the Ravens, for the Bengals. 1010 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,440 Speaker 4: What if it changes for the Steelers. They have a 1011 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,680 Speaker 4: forty one year old quarterback to get mood that doesn't 1012 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,320 Speaker 4: get hit. Yep, you know, And so it can change 1013 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,360 Speaker 4: in a hurry. You have the Steelers on the schedule 1014 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 4: coming to town next week, and so yeah, you're in 1015 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,480 Speaker 4: the second place right now in the North, as weird 1016 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 4: as it sounds. So let's see if you can piece 1017 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,200 Speaker 4: together a couple of wins here and hang around and 1018 00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 4: see where you're at it in a few weeks. 1019 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 1: Hey, at least they're doing something. I mean, it may 1020 00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,440 Speaker 1: not be that good, the best, as I said, it's 1021 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,520 Speaker 1: the best option, the best chance of all the worst 1022 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 1: options available. It's closing time, and you got to go 1023 00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,359 Speaker 1: with somebody. It's Joe Flacco. We'll go to Joe too. 1024 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 4: Uh. 1025 00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 1: And now he's played for every team in the division 1026 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 1: except for Pittsburgh possibly, who knows what stranger things may happen. Anyway, 1027 00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,279 Speaker 1: he's James Rapine of this odd But at the end 1028 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,320 Speaker 1: of the day, it's like, why the Bengals did something 1029 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,960 Speaker 1: is to show you just what our expectation levels. It 1030 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 1: felt like, Okay, they went and got a name, you 1031 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 1: know what, All right, good for them? 1032 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. I hope he's hope he's fun to watch, 1033 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 4: and uh yeah, a couple of weeks ago when I 1034 00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,919 Speaker 4: mentioned quarterback, I kind of got laughed at the fact 1035 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,840 Speaker 4: that we're here now. It says a lot about Jake Browning, 1036 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 4: says a lot about where the Bengals feel they are right. 1037 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:45,640 Speaker 1: And and not knowing Jake Browning was going to be 1038 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 1: that bad. I think that is also, you know, again, 1039 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 1: part of the narrative when you look at Zach because 1040 00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:54,040 Speaker 1: if this thing goes south on Sunday, then it's like, okay, well, 1041 00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:55,719 Speaker 1: and then you got a quarterback that's won a Super 1042 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,800 Speaker 1: Bowl and you still can't do anything. And now that 1043 00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 1: that square gets the circle, it's tighter and tighter around 1044 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:02,680 Speaker 1: around Zack Town and the coaching staff. 1045 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:02,960 Speaker 4: All right. 1046 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,439 Speaker 1: He's James for Peen, a busy man over at Sports 1047 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,759 Speaker 1: Illustrated Bengals Talk dot com lockdow on Bengals jumps on 1048 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,759 Speaker 1: our show every Monday morning, Uh to chop up the 1049 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 1: game and uh, of course when quarterbacks break in, he 1050 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,400 Speaker 1: breaks out, James, Thanks, appreciate it.

We talk about 1076 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,520 Speaker 1: that fairly regularly. Very rarely we talk about losing your 1077 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 1: employment and being completely blindsided by because that does happen. 1078 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,760 Speaker 1: It just happened. We see companies, large, medium and small 1079 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 1: where it's like, hey, things are going great, I'm doing 1080 00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,400 Speaker 1: everything I can, I'm doing the best I can, and 1081 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:47,840 Speaker 1: all of a sudden it's like, hey, you know what, 1082 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 1: It's just a line on a piece of paper and 1083 00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,520 Speaker 1: it's about keeping the light. Time just happened to my 1084 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,279 Speaker 1: sister in law, as a matter of fact, working in 1085 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:58,600 Speaker 1: the food service sector. She was a regional running a 1086 00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:00,480 Speaker 1: number of I don't want to say the company, but 1087 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,479 Speaker 1: they involved desserts and cookie fashion and everything was great 1088 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 1: until they said, hey, listen, you know what, we're upside 1089 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,920 Speaker 1: down on the numbers. You got to go and did 1090 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 1: not see this coming out. All happens all the time, 1091 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,440 Speaker 1: yet we don't talk about it all that much, and 1092 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,240 Speaker 1: so in hindsight's always twenty twenty, and once it happens 1093 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,120 Speaker 1: to you, it feels like it's too late to do anything. 1094 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,600 Speaker 1: About that situation. You can improve it for the future, 1095 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:21,560 Speaker 1: but what about right now? 1096 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,359 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean we've talked, like you said, we've talked 1097 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,920 Speaker 6: about this often, and you've heard me say often be 1098 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,000 Speaker 6: ready to say, be ready to go, And I think 1099 00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,360 Speaker 6: it's again, it's just it's me pleading with people to 1100 00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,520 Speaker 6: think that way. But we know that most of us don't, 1101 00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 6: especially if we know we're performing well, if our results 1102 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:46,160 Speaker 6: are good, if we know that we are respected, it's 1103 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,800 Speaker 6: very easy to fall into the it's not going to 1104 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:50,960 Speaker 6: happen to me, and it doesn't. 1105 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,080 Speaker 4: And it used to be back in the. 1106 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,279 Speaker 6: Nineties and all these big layoffs started happening, it was 1107 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,840 Speaker 6: really just people who were underperforming. But we've seen the 1108 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,920 Speaker 6: last fifteen twenty years, especially in two thousand and eight, 1109 00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,760 Speaker 6: people who are performing, who have great stories, great stats, 1110 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:15,920 Speaker 6: are indeed impacted. And it's become so common that even 1111 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,719 Speaker 6: the process of reference checking is less because it used 1112 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,640 Speaker 6: to be if you got let go, you weren't doing 1113 00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,680 Speaker 6: a good job, your companies want to check up on you. 1114 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:25,600 Speaker 5: But now it's so many. 1115 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,239 Speaker 6: Really good people have been let go. And here is 1116 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,720 Speaker 6: when I look at the danger zone, when it comes 1117 00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:36,480 Speaker 6: to how you might screw up your job search right 1118 00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,719 Speaker 6: away at the beginning. It's right now, because if you've 1119 00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:43,799 Speaker 6: been told let's say yesterday or last week, don't come 1120 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:49,000 Speaker 6: back tomorrow, and it is truly a shock to your system. 1121 00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,200 Speaker 6: The first thing we want to do as humans is 1122 00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:53,480 Speaker 6: feel better about ourselves. 1123 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,000 Speaker 5: Is to believe that we were. 1124 00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:57,080 Speaker 4: Not doing anything wrong. 1125 00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:57,840 Speaker 6: So what do we do. 1126 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,640 Speaker 5: We pick up the phone, we start calling people. 1127 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:01,759 Speaker 4: Can you believe it? 1128 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,920 Speaker 6: And it ain't probably pretty the conversation. And so what 1129 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,560 Speaker 6: we're doing is we're trying to make ourselves feel better. 1130 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,560 Speaker 6: And so the what I tell people is if you've 1131 00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,960 Speaker 6: can dealt this blow, the most best thing you can 1132 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:20,400 Speaker 6: do is take a step back, take a breath, process 1133 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,600 Speaker 6: through your emotions with family or extremely close friends. You 1134 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,480 Speaker 6: don't need and do not get out there and blast 1135 00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 6: your organization in any way, shape or form. I see 1136 00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,400 Speaker 6: that happen on social media, and I cringe because I 1137 00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:38,680 Speaker 6: think all you're doing is showing how you handle adversity. 1138 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,480 Speaker 6: And so when it's so, the best thing to do 1139 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:46,919 Speaker 6: when you are blindsided is acknowledge I did not see 1140 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,840 Speaker 6: this coming. I need to process this. I need to 1141 00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:51,640 Speaker 6: take a breath, I need to pull the covers over 1142 00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:53,440 Speaker 6: my head. You don't have to do this for a 1143 00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,120 Speaker 6: very long time, but you do have to at least 1144 00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:59,040 Speaker 6: do it, I would say, for a few days to 1145 00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:02,680 Speaker 6: get to to really catch your breath and start thinking about, Okay, 1146 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,680 Speaker 6: how can I turn this this these lemons and lemonade. 1147 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,920 Speaker 6: It doesn't mean that after three days of you know, 1148 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 6: binge watching stupid TV, you're you're over it and you're 1149 00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:14,840 Speaker 6: ready to move on. 1150 00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:16,000 Speaker 5: It is a process. 1151 00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,959 Speaker 6: Losing your job is one of the top three life 1152 00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,640 Speaker 6: stressors that we have, right up there with divorce. 1153 00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:22,280 Speaker 4: And loss of a spouse. 1154 00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,000 Speaker 6: And so I think, you know, it's easy to well, 1155 00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,759 Speaker 6: it's just work, It's just a job. Why am I 1156 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 6: self said it's just a job. No, For many of us, 1157 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,920 Speaker 6: it's our identity, even if we hated it, even if 1158 00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,560 Speaker 6: we were miserable. Having somebody else make that decision for 1159 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 6: us feels really, really bad. And so you've got to 1160 00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:44,920 Speaker 6: acknowledge that and allow yourself time to process it before 1161 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,120 Speaker 6: you put your head up and start thinking. 1162 00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:47,600 Speaker 5: About what's next. 1163 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:50,840 Speaker 1: And ad is some sage advice there, because normally you 1164 00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:52,720 Speaker 1: want to snap me a call all your co workers 1165 00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:54,840 Speaker 1: can can you believe and engage in gossip and have 1166 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:56,759 Speaker 1: the pity party for you because it's all about you 1167 00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:00,880 Speaker 1: and that's so enticing, but that goes against better judgment. 1168 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:02,759 Speaker 1: Of course should win in this case, and that is, hey, 1169 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,360 Speaker 1: listen nothing, I'll talk to you at some point, but 1170 00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:07,719 Speaker 1: I need a couple of days. I need some time 1171 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,880 Speaker 1: just to process this. And then, you know, put your 1172 00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:13,520 Speaker 1: phone on no notifications and silent, don't answer the phone, 1173 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:15,919 Speaker 1: and just let it go to voicemail, and just kind 1174 00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:18,360 Speaker 1: of process stuff for a couple of days. That's some 1175 00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:20,400 Speaker 1: really really good advice because it's just easy to go 1176 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,960 Speaker 1: and you know, and then you'll be empowered with all 1177 00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,160 Speaker 1: the people saying you got screwed, and then feel and 1178 00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:26,439 Speaker 1: go do something stupid. 1179 00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:32,440 Speaker 6: Exactly exactly, and you will just know this job locks 1180 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,920 Speaker 6: is a huge emotional rollercoaster, so you will I know 1181 00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:41,200 Speaker 6: people who have felt the first emotion I felt was relief. Yeah, 1182 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 6: I'm unhappy with that anyway, that after several days or 1183 00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,239 Speaker 6: a week or two, they were angry. Yeah, and then 1184 00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:49,600 Speaker 6: wait a minute, why am I angry? 1185 00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:51,080 Speaker 7: I didn't like that job? 1186 00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,839 Speaker 6: And then maybe you go into sadness and then release again. 1187 00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,000 Speaker 6: And so it really is the stage of the grief, 1188 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,719 Speaker 6: experiencing it sometimes all in a day or two. And 1189 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,200 Speaker 6: what I also see a lot of times is with 1190 00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,160 Speaker 6: your partner, your spouse, the people who are closer to you, 1191 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,680 Speaker 6: they're angrier than you are because they can't do anything 1192 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,560 Speaker 6: about it. They're upset that this was done to their 1193 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:15,839 Speaker 6: loved ones. And so make sure that you are communicating 1194 00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,439 Speaker 6: openly with the people around you and saying, you know what, yes, 1195 00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,080 Speaker 6: this was not this is not my choice. There's a 1196 00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,240 Speaker 6: lot of budgetary things going on, or we've been acquired 1197 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,720 Speaker 6: by another company or whatever it is, and so it's 1198 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,440 Speaker 6: gonna it's going to happen to someone, and it happened 1199 00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,320 Speaker 6: to me. I'll be okay and I will be ready 1200 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,720 Speaker 6: to accept help soon. 1201 00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:39,600 Speaker 5: But for now, you know, I just need events. 1202 00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:40,520 Speaker 1: I need to process. 1203 00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:42,440 Speaker 6: And you might vent with someone else, or you might 1204 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,959 Speaker 6: vent with the covers pulled over your heads. 1205 00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:47,840 Speaker 1: And it's different for everyone, is which And I've been 1206 00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 1: through it before, not and for a long time, but 1207 00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:50,640 Speaker 1: I've been through it, and it is it's like a 1208 00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,360 Speaker 1: it's like stages of grief really. I mean, it's the 1209 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,680 Speaker 1: shock initially and then it's like, well, this is stupid. 1210 00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 1: They'll call me back because they can't live without me, 1211 00:57:58,440 --> 00:57:59,960 Speaker 1: and then you realize, wow, they can. Then you can 1212 00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,480 Speaker 1: angry about the situation, and then you become well, maybe 1213 00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 1: it's me and I'm useless and I have no one 1214 00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 1: nothing to offer anyone else, and you go throw these 1215 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:11,280 Speaker 1: different stages, and then complacency after a couple of weeks, 1216 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,280 Speaker 1: and the people at work stop calling you because while 1217 00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,000 Speaker 1: they're going on with their lives, their work lives. 1218 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:15,600 Speaker 7: Uh. 1219 00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 1: And you're not part of the daily gossip chain anymore. 1220 00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:19,760 Speaker 1: And you may have a friend or two still that 1221 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:23,160 Speaker 1: contacts you, but that'll become few and far between, and 1222 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,080 Speaker 1: and that's what life looks like. And eventually you feel 1223 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,120 Speaker 1: like you're in a desert island and you're kind of like, uh, 1224 00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:29,920 Speaker 1: you know, Tom Hanks and castaway and you're laying on 1225 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,320 Speaker 1: a shore waiting for the for the seagulls to peck 1226 00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:35,520 Speaker 1: your eyeballs out. And then things turn around, and often, 1227 00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:37,600 Speaker 1: as I found out, things turn out for the better. 1228 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,320 Speaker 1: That there's opportunities out there you don't foresee, and those 1229 00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,960 Speaker 1: doors open when another closes. It's so true. But the 1230 00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,440 Speaker 1: immediacy of the shock and the horror of it all, 1231 00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,840 Speaker 1: and then I'm not even including things like healthcare and money, right. 1232 00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,920 Speaker 1: I mean, look at these furloughed federal workers that tomorrow's 1233 00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,080 Speaker 1: their last check. And then there's stories coming out of 1234 00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:55,560 Speaker 1: the White House that we may not pay you even 1235 00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:57,480 Speaker 1: when you come back and you still have a job. 1236 00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,400 Speaker 1: So these are uncertain times. I just yesterday at eleven 1237 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,880 Speaker 1: thirty five. Every Tuesday, I have our buddy Andy Schaffer 1238 00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,640 Speaker 1: on from all Worth Financial. I mentioned the fact that 1239 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,280 Speaker 1: Fifth Third is acquired co America Bank out of Dallas 1240 00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:12,919 Speaker 1: for eleventy billion dollars, and I said, okay, they said 1241 00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,800 Speaker 1: everyone's job is safe right now. How soon before people 1242 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:17,800 Speaker 1: get started to get thrown out the window? And that's 1243 00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,200 Speaker 1: going to happen because you know, hey, will you do 1244 00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,120 Speaker 1: the same job as this person in Dallas, or the 1245 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,000 Speaker 1: person in Dallas does the same job as a person 1246 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,160 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati's overlap. People are gonna lose their jobs eventually. 1247 00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,000 Speaker 1: That always happens. They tell you it's not going to 1248 00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:30,400 Speaker 1: and you go, no, no, no, no, we need you, 1249 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 1: We need you to keep things going until we don't 1250 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 1: need you anymore, and that will happen at some point. 1251 00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, in the minute, let's say, let's say in this situation. 1252 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 6: Would I tell every single Co America employee is be 1253 00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:44,640 Speaker 6: ready to say you're ready to go? Yes, you want 1254 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,640 Speaker 6: to see is there a place for me? It's justif 1255 00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,480 Speaker 6: third that might feel really good and might really use 1256 00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:53,560 Speaker 6: my skills. But if not, or I find that it's 1257 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,040 Speaker 6: not a culture fit or whatever it is, whatever they 1258 00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:57,760 Speaker 6: want me to do, I don't want to do. You 1259 00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 6: have to be ready to. 1260 00:59:58,880 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 5: Begin a job search. 1261 01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,919 Speaker 6: And so that blind loyalty of the company is looking 1262 01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,360 Speaker 6: out for me is not only not a thing, but 1263 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:09,080 Speaker 6: it's never been a thing. As much as we want 1264 01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:12,600 Speaker 6: to tell ourselves that it exists, it doesn't. It is 1265 01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,760 Speaker 6: in the company's interest to have you believe that they. 1266 01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:19,000 Speaker 1: Are being loyal to you, and they want to play 1267 01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,080 Speaker 1: up the whole Hey, we're your family and your work 1268 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,080 Speaker 1: family and everything else. And then I don't know, but 1269 01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,920 Speaker 1: I you know, I sometimes disagree. Fortunately for us, I've 1270 01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:27,960 Speaker 1: got a really good relationship with everyone in my family. 1271 01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:30,920 Speaker 1: You know, we may have disagreements or a little thing, 1272 01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,360 Speaker 1: and flare ups happen from time to time, but the 1273 01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:34,720 Speaker 1: end of the day, we love it. You don't have 1274 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,000 Speaker 1: that your business. It's a business relationship. But conflating that 1275 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:38,560 Speaker 1: with family. 1276 01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:43,480 Speaker 8: I've got a real family, yes, exactly, exactly, And it 1277 01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,880 Speaker 8: can feel when even if it's a privately held business 1278 01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,880 Speaker 8: and there are family members in the company, if you 1279 01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:51,960 Speaker 8: don't have that last. 1280 01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:54,360 Speaker 6: Name or honor in that family treat bingo, you aren't 1281 01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,800 Speaker 6: want to be treated as such. I don't care if 1282 01:00:56,800 --> 01:01:01,080 Speaker 6: you baby, that's the founder's kids, it's you know, it's 1283 01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:02,960 Speaker 6: just it's just, you know, I beat my head against 1284 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 6: the wall on this because it's just people who want 1285 01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:09,400 Speaker 6: to believe that they're that they're safe, that they're going 1286 01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:12,919 Speaker 6: to be fine, and it's I guess that's a real 1287 01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:13,960 Speaker 6: human nature, but we. 1288 01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:15,600 Speaker 1: Have evidence it's not that way anymore. 1289 01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,040 Speaker 5: To the contrary, you're not that subtle. 1290 01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,760 Speaker 1: The only organization I can think that still operates that 1291 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:27,080 Speaker 1: would be our football team, Julie, where there's family and 1292 01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 1: there's loyalty and it's a family business. Once you're in, 1293 01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,360 Speaker 1: you're never going to get fired. She's Julie Balki our 1294 01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 1: career shirt, but she pops on every Wednesday. Today we're 1295 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,760 Speaker 1: talking about unexpected job loss.

And that's a great dream for a 1300 01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:50,760 Speaker 1: lot of people, but in reality, sometimes you know what, 1301 01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,200 Speaker 1: you wind up loosening your job in these times for 1302 01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,360 Speaker 1: no reason whatsoever.

I mean, he's 1323 01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,000 Speaker 1: got a super Bowl ring, he achieved the ultimate dream, 1324 01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:51,200 Speaker 1: he's got a got a Lombardi Trophy with the Ravens. 1325 01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,920 Speaker 1: And you know, since I think in the past what 1326 01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:56,080 Speaker 1: seven or eight years, it hasn't been so good for 1327 01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,360 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. But he's still making NFL money, he's still 1328 01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,240 Speaker 1: getting signed, so good for him. Maybe it's good for Cincinnati. 1329 01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, but he keeps landing on his feet. 1330 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,880 Speaker 1: So for Joe Flacco's case, like I thought, I've played 1331 01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:09,600 Speaker 1: myself out of a job and then all of a 1332 01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 1: sudden the Bengals come knocking. So there's some inspiration there. 1333 01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 6: Well, we think about really in major league sports, you 1334 01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,280 Speaker 6: can be on the mound one day and at the 1335 01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,280 Speaker 6: end of it and pulled off the mound and be 1336 01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,120 Speaker 6: on a bus or a plane to another team that night. 1337 01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:30,160 Speaker 6: So they understand. They understood that it's not personal because 1338 01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:34,120 Speaker 6: that's how their profession operates. It doesn't mean that trans 1339 01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:38,320 Speaker 6: isn't hard, because it is always hard because you build relationships. 1340 01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:40,840 Speaker 6: But we can take a page out of that playbook. 1341 01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:44,480 Speaker 6: You will be around until it is no longer useful 1342 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:46,040 Speaker 6: for us to have you around. 1343 01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:49,640 Speaker 1: And you know what, that is such a great comparative, 1344 01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:51,960 Speaker 1: Julie Buck. This is why you're awesome about what you do. 1345 01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:52,760 Speaker 3: That is so true. 1346 01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:56,240 Speaker 1: Mean of all the occupations, you know, being a professional athlete, 1347 01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,919 Speaker 1: they know, hey, listen, if someone better comes along, someone younger, 1348 01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:03,600 Speaker 1: that that flash is better than I do. My job's over. 1349 01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:05,360 Speaker 1: I got to be sharp every time I get out 1350 01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:08,600 Speaker 1: there and perform, perform, perform, And when it happens, almost always, 1351 01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:11,240 Speaker 1: there's no animosity. It's like, okay, what do I need 1352 01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,080 Speaker 1: to know? Okay, well, here's your ticket. You're gonna go. 1353 01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,040 Speaker 1: We treated it to Cincinnati from Cleveland. Okay, Hey, good 1354 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:17,880 Speaker 1: luck to see you later. Thanks, Joe, take care, Okay, 1355 01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,040 Speaker 1: we'll see you great. And there's no crying and calling 1356 01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,959 Speaker 1: your friends and crying and complaining and you know, throwing. 1357 01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:26,280 Speaker 1: It's like they just go and they do the next thing. Now, 1358 01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,640 Speaker 1: same thing when someone gets released, you know, at crany camp, 1359 01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:31,480 Speaker 1: it's like, oh man, I thought I made the team, 1360 01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:33,120 Speaker 1: or like yeah, I made the team every year and 1361 01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:34,960 Speaker 1: now I don't make the team, and now I'm out 1362 01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 1: of a job and I'm looking at it. But that's 1363 01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,120 Speaker 1: the we accept. Why do we accept that in in 1364 01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:42,640 Speaker 1: regular business and regular work because it's been that way 1365 01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:44,880 Speaker 1: for a long time. It's nothing new. It's been going 1366 01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,800 Speaker 1: on the same way for a long time. And you know, 1367 01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:51,400 Speaker 1: professional athletes are coddled, they're treated special people. And we 1368 01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,240 Speaker 1: see this, you know, we see how they're treated much 1369 01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,160 Speaker 1: different than the rest of us. Why do we have 1370 01:04:56,600 --> 01:05:00,160 Speaker 1: in work? Why do we have the sense that they 1371 01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,240 Speaker 1: can't live without it and like the world's over. When 1372 01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:04,960 Speaker 1: I when I realized my positions, when I when they 1373 01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:07,080 Speaker 1: found someone better, they go, hey, listen, we're making cuts. 1374 01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,040 Speaker 1: It's the way it is. It's not you, it's just 1375 01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:10,960 Speaker 1: it's a line. It's a line at them thing. Why 1376 01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:12,200 Speaker 1: do we have such a hard time with it? 1377 01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,480 Speaker 6: That's a great point, you know, when when most professional athletes, 1378 01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:21,040 Speaker 6: we don't. We don't generally you'll see when someone gets cut, 1379 01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:24,160 Speaker 6: when you see the social media chatter, Oh they'll be fine, 1380 01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:26,080 Speaker 6: you know they're when a see same with the CEO, 1381 01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:28,680 Speaker 6: it loses their jobs, right. Oh, there was a big 1382 01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,080 Speaker 6: what kind of big buyout to see it they'll be fine. 1383 01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:34,600 Speaker 6: But those of us who don't generally have those kind 1384 01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,160 Speaker 6: of safety nets, it is a it is a. 1385 01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:38,280 Speaker 4: Harder blow touch. 1386 01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:42,800 Speaker 6: And we also, especially older generations were very rate and 1387 01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,440 Speaker 6: I see Gen X and Boomers were raised in a 1388 01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:50,360 Speaker 6: time where there was some level of expectation that you know, 1389 01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:51,400 Speaker 6: see I was. 1390 01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,640 Speaker 4: I think eighteen if you think about right, so I. 1391 01:05:54,800 --> 01:06:00,280 Speaker 6: Was probably in my but thirty or so when third too, 1392 01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:04,800 Speaker 6: when bigger layoups start happening. But up until that point, 1393 01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:10,120 Speaker 6: it never occurred to me really that I'd be let 1394 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:13,480 Speaker 6: go unless I did something really bad. And so in 1395 01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,360 Speaker 6: a lot of it was it was what's inside of us, 1396 01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,520 Speaker 6: what we saw our parents go through, and we believe 1397 01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:23,960 Speaker 6: that if we're doing a decent job, that were good 1398 01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:28,040 Speaker 6: and if we aren't, if we and i'll tell you 1399 01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:32,120 Speaker 6: what being in HR there's this thing about human denial. 1400 01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:36,720 Speaker 6: So I remember having to let people go where they 1401 01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:40,360 Speaker 6: have been warned and told a thousand times you need 1402 01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:42,840 Speaker 6: to stop doing A and start doing B. And they 1403 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,440 Speaker 6: kept doing it, kept doing A, kept doing A, and 1404 01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:47,240 Speaker 6: then it was time to let them go. They were shocked, 1405 01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:52,480 Speaker 6: they tell you, shocked. I think there's just this this 1406 01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:54,919 Speaker 6: thing that we have that we believe. 1407 01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:56,000 Speaker 4: We're going to be okay. 1408 01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,880 Speaker 6: There's some level of delusion there too, but I don't know. 1409 01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,720 Speaker 6: It's an interesting it's interesting different. 1410 01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:05,120 Speaker 1: Maybe because like in a professional sports atmosphere, you know 1411 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:06,560 Speaker 1: your job's on the line. You got to be you 1412 01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:07,760 Speaker 1: can't be a dream you gotta be a realist. I 1413 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:09,480 Speaker 1: believe in yourself. At the same time as like coach 1414 01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,000 Speaker 1: is telling you, it's like you've seen it happen other players, 1415 01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:15,360 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, for a professional athlete, you know, 1416 01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,640 Speaker 1: unlike you're working stuff like us. It's a different story 1417 01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,600 Speaker 1: because they've got a cushion, right, they're making a lot 1418 01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:23,840 Speaker 1: of money and hopefully they've got some set aside for 1419 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,640 Speaker 1: that because they're making a lot more bank you know, 1420 01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:28,920 Speaker 1: when you start talking about furloughed workers for the government, 1421 01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,480 Speaker 1: that's a different story trying to make a paycheck and 1422 01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:34,520 Speaker 1: meet end to end.

And 1462 01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:27,600 Speaker 7: it's always exciting to talk about big infrastructure projects that 1463 01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:31,960 Speaker 7: are going to improve our region and so odak coming 1464 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,000 Speaker 7: to by the way, I chair the Climate, Environment and 1465 01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:38,520 Speaker 7: Infrastructure Committee, but it was great to have them yesterday, 1466 01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:41,920 Speaker 7: and I think it was a good conversation. Yes, we 1467 01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,840 Speaker 7: did ask some good questions, and so I think people 1468 01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:47,599 Speaker 7: will be proud, you know, a decade from now when 1469 01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:49,679 Speaker 7: we look at this marvel of a bridge. 1470 01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:52,200 Speaker 1: Oh hell, it's a long time coming. I mean when 1471 01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,760 Speaker 1: we started complaining about I think how bad the Brent 1472 01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:58,600 Speaker 1: Spence Bridge was before you were born, you know what 1473 01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:00,479 Speaker 1: I mean. It's like it's been go going on for 1474 01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,360 Speaker 1: a long long time and it's a line overdue. So 1475 01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:06,920 Speaker 1: about sixty percent of the design is complete. So what's 1476 01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:08,479 Speaker 1: up in the air about that other forty percent? 1477 01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:08,680 Speaker 4: You know? 1478 01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:12,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, So the process in which they are using to 1479 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:15,320 Speaker 7: design this bridge is called a design built process, and 1480 01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:19,040 Speaker 7: so it allows for iteration along the way. It's really 1481 01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:22,360 Speaker 7: a very thoughtful and methodical way of getting to the 1482 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:26,200 Speaker 7: best products. And so you know, we'll continue to get 1483 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:30,519 Speaker 7: to the one hundred percent soon, but this fall we're 1484 01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:34,040 Speaker 7: planning to have sixty percent of it complete. I will 1485 01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:37,000 Speaker 7: also say that, yes, thank you to you know, the 1486 01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:41,640 Speaker 7: Biden administration, this current administration with making sure that we 1487 01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:44,680 Speaker 7: are continuing to move this project forward. I mean, this 1488 01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,920 Speaker 7: is truly an example of what collaboration amongst government looks like. 1489 01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:52,719 Speaker 7: No matter what the party affiliation is, this certainly couldn't 1490 01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:57,000 Speaker 7: happen without the federal government, both administrations, the current and 1491 01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:00,880 Speaker 7: the previous, the state government and so Governor the Wine 1492 01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:03,639 Speaker 7: has been a thoughtful partner in this and of course 1493 01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:07,519 Speaker 7: as a local decision maker and with ODACS. 1494 01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:09,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and to bring you up to speed on this 1495 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,479 Speaker 1: as you listen with the Burnt Spence Bridge project, is 1496 01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:15,479 Speaker 1: we mentioned the three point six billion dollar total cost, 1497 01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:19,160 Speaker 1: which includes substantial money from the city to count Eyone 1498 01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,840 Speaker 1: else's we're gonna get a companion bridge that's west of 1499 01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,240 Speaker 1: the existing Brunt Spence Bridge. So let's take the bridge now, 1500 01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:27,000 Speaker 1: the Brunt Spence Bridge that we know and hate, and 1501 01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:29,000 Speaker 1: they will take that from four lanes down to three, 1502 01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,960 Speaker 1: so you'll actually have emergency lane and break down lane 1503 01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:34,320 Speaker 1: because we've seen some while people die as a result 1504 01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,880 Speaker 1: of not having that. In this whole project's going to 1505 01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,560 Speaker 1: stretch about eight miles from the Western Hills Viaduct to 1506 01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:44,080 Speaker 1: Dixie Highway in northern Kentucky and take a tremendous amount 1507 01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:45,640 Speaker 1: of work to get done. It's gonna take years and 1508 01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:49,200 Speaker 1: years and years. And that is the bird's eye view 1509 01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:51,800 Speaker 1: of this project here and reshaping what that quarter looks 1510 01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:54,479 Speaker 1: like from seventy five down the western hills, so through 1511 01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:58,120 Speaker 1: the viaduct, and of course a viaduct is seeing a 1512 01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:01,920 Speaker 1: redo as well too. It's interesting I heard some of 1513 01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:05,400 Speaker 1: the conversation yesterday Mika about how they're going to try 1514 01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,200 Speaker 1: to limit the impact on drivers and engage barges and 1515 01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:09,760 Speaker 1: bringing material in, which is a great idea. 1516 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:15,439 Speaker 7: Certainly, certainly, you know, I think the thoughtfulness around are 1517 01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:19,559 Speaker 7: not only the design, but also the supply in which 1518 01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:22,800 Speaker 7: we will have. You know, this where the still comes from. 1519 01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:26,240 Speaker 7: So these are all going to be good, good questions 1520 01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:29,080 Speaker 7: that will have answers to I think in the beginning 1521 01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:32,920 Speaker 7: of twenty twenty six, if not very late in this year, 1522 01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:37,879 Speaker 7: but certainly thinking about you know, traffic flow and impact 1523 01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:42,560 Speaker 7: to drivers. You know, we're hearing the concerns around environmental 1524 01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:46,280 Speaker 7: impact and certainly, you know, if can you be thoughtful 1525 01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,639 Speaker 7: about those things. But at the end of the day, 1526 01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,720 Speaker 7: moving people is better than being idle, and certainly, as 1527 01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:56,320 Speaker 7: this bridge continues to get built and expanded lanes on 1528 01:12:56,400 --> 01:13:01,080 Speaker 7: the huge bridge, you know it'll help people loose quicker, 1529 01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:03,960 Speaker 7: and it'll also be very thoughtful about how people make 1530 01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:08,000 Speaker 7: decisions from the bridge to get to downtown or to 1531 01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:11,519 Speaker 7: get to seventy one, and so I think it's going 1532 01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:14,559 Speaker 7: to be a real feat of engineering for sure. 1533 01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:14,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1534 01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:16,320 Speaker 1: I mean we're going to see a lot of cranes 1535 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,800 Speaker 1: along the riverfront, that's for sure. And to get this 1536 01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:21,000 Speaker 1: thing as quickly as possible. It could be cranes and 1537 01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:22,960 Speaker 1: barges all over the place, but getting the barges and 1538 01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:24,800 Speaker 1: that's a pretty good idea. I wonder what that does 1539 01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:28,320 Speaker 1: with surface transportation on the Ohio River. But it's not 1540 01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:31,080 Speaker 1: the first project someone's done of this scale. I guess 1541 01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:32,519 Speaker 1: in other areas of the country they know how to 1542 01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:35,040 Speaker 1: do this and navigate this. She's Mika Owen's council member, 1543 01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:38,080 Speaker 1: chair of Climate, Environment and Infrastructure, and yesterday met with 1544 01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:40,960 Speaker 1: ODT regarding the Brent Spence Bridge projects, which is set 1545 01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,719 Speaker 1: to kick off early next year. So in the cold 1546 01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:47,800 Speaker 1: winter months they'll get busy. Getting busy one of the 1547 01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:49,720 Speaker 1: things one of the things we heard too, Mika. And 1548 01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,280 Speaker 1: because also this is an addition to infrastructure, it's also 1549 01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:54,920 Speaker 1: climate environment. You heard from people who showed up community 1550 01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:59,439 Speaker 1: input that we're concerned about I don't know, opposition from 1551 01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:02,320 Speaker 1: from an environmental groups and transit advocate. They worry about 1552 01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:04,840 Speaker 1: you increased traffic and air pollution, and this is going 1553 01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,920 Speaker 1: to disproportionately affect black and brown residents in the West 1554 01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:11,360 Speaker 1: End in Queens Gaden. We can't do this. To me, 1555 01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:14,320 Speaker 1: that's not really a reason to stop the project. It 1556 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:16,479 Speaker 1: seems to me, if you're stuck on the Brent spinch Bridge, 1557 01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:19,200 Speaker 1: as people often are in the morning and afternoon commute 1558 01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:21,519 Speaker 1: several days a week, if not every day during the week, 1559 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:23,160 Speaker 1: don't we have a hell of a lot of pollution 1560 01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:25,120 Speaker 1: from the cars and trucks that are sitting there idly. 1561 01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:30,679 Speaker 7: That is true, and so which is why moving people 1562 01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:35,280 Speaker 7: significantly faster and more efficiently it's going to be so important. 1563 01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:39,640 Speaker 7: But you know, we don't want to, you know, just 1564 01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:43,880 Speaker 7: throw away the concerns of people who know the climate 1565 01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:46,880 Speaker 7: work that we're doing in Cincinnati. And so I think 1566 01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:49,160 Speaker 7: at the end of the day, this has been a 1567 01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:53,200 Speaker 7: thoughtful partnership between the federal government, state and here we 1568 01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:57,160 Speaker 7: are in Cincinnati, and if there were any major concerns 1569 01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:04,080 Speaker 7: about environment polution, I believe and thee would, if they 1570 01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:08,000 Speaker 7: believe an environmental impact statement was necessary, would definitely be 1571 01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:11,400 Speaker 7: working on that. So we'll continue to have thoughtful conversations 1572 01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:14,519 Speaker 7: but I do want to talk about the job impact 1573 01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:15,919 Speaker 7: of this process. 1574 01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,080 Speaker 1: Please do, because I think that is that was gonna dovetail. 1575 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:19,760 Speaker 1: I was going to ask, is okay, we're concerned about 1576 01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,280 Speaker 1: black and brown populations and air pollution which we have. 1577 01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:24,519 Speaker 1: If you're sitting on the bridge now and not doing 1578 01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:26,519 Speaker 1: anything makes it worse, not better. This is at least 1579 01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:29,360 Speaker 1: the pollution during construction will be temporary for a long 1580 01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,200 Speaker 1: term fix. But one of the concerns. And as the 1581 01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:35,439 Speaker 1: economy gets worse and worse, and money becomes scarcer and scarcer, 1582 01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:38,200 Speaker 1: and inflation goes up, and you know, jobs are strong. 1583 01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:41,200 Speaker 1: It's not good right now. It's not awful, but it's 1584 01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:43,160 Speaker 1: not good and it's not trending in the right direction 1585 01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:45,519 Speaker 1: when it comes to employment. And like the fact, the 1586 01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:48,400 Speaker 1: matter is, people need jobs. And I've been a long 1587 01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:51,559 Speaker 1: time advocate for the construction community. We have jobs out 1588 01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:54,000 Speaker 1: there that will change your life, will change the trajectory 1589 01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:57,519 Speaker 1: of your family. It addresses generational poverty. And all you 1590 01:15:57,600 --> 01:15:59,120 Speaker 1: have to do is show up. They'll pay for you 1591 01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:01,720 Speaker 1: to learn, they'll say for your tools. They'll get you there, 1592 01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:04,599 Speaker 1: they'll get you home. You can make a great life 1593 01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:07,760 Speaker 1: by working in the construction trades, and there's countless jobs 1594 01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:12,120 Speaker 1: available on this particular bridge in your backyard. I don't 1595 01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:14,479 Speaker 1: feel like enough is said about workforce development here. 1596 01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:17,600 Speaker 7: I know, I know, this is what This is the 1597 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:21,040 Speaker 7: most exciting aspect of this project. First of all, we 1598 01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:24,880 Speaker 7: have to recognize that almost a billion dollars worth of 1599 01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:28,800 Speaker 7: freight comes across the Bridgetent Bridge every single day from 1600 01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:33,000 Speaker 7: Miami to the Canadian border. We also have to recognize 1601 01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:36,800 Speaker 7: CBG is one of the largest cargo airports in North America. 1602 01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:39,840 Speaker 7: It's the seventh largest, and it's the twentieth largest in 1603 01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:44,000 Speaker 7: the world. And that connectivity just based on the moving 1604 01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:45,639 Speaker 7: of goods is so critical. 1605 01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:47,600 Speaker 5: So this bridge, this. 1606 01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:52,920 Speaker 7: Project is going to require six million work hours, seven 1607 01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:56,559 Speaker 7: hundred of folks that will need to be the boots 1608 01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,960 Speaker 7: on the ground using their hands to construct this bridge, 1609 01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:04,880 Speaker 7: sixty more than sixty sub contractor packages. And so yes, 1610 01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:08,680 Speaker 7: the workforce development implication is so real. And so the 1611 01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:13,200 Speaker 7: investments that we made are are local labor unions with 1612 01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:17,639 Speaker 7: the urban leagues creating that building our futures program, helping 1613 01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:21,559 Speaker 7: people move into apprenticeship and really get great jobs after 1614 01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:25,360 Speaker 7: graduating from that. We're talking about living wage jobs, you know, 1615 01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:28,600 Speaker 7: Soviet six dollars an hour, and so there has to 1616 01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:33,440 Speaker 7: be a great movement of migrating people into this workforce infrastructure. 1617 01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:36,320 Speaker 7: Because when we also think about and you made great 1618 01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:40,000 Speaker 7: points around you know, economics and people earning money and 1619 01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:42,280 Speaker 7: having money in their pocket to pay for the food 1620 01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:45,360 Speaker 7: on the people and a roof over their heads. You know, 1621 01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,559 Speaker 7: moving young people in these forces of professions is going 1622 01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:52,080 Speaker 7: to be so key for not only Cincinnati but this region. 1623 01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,679 Speaker 7: And when we think about the jobs of the future, 1624 01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:58,599 Speaker 7: some of which might might be more technology driven. When 1625 01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:02,080 Speaker 7: we think about AI, it's working with your hands that 1626 01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:06,080 Speaker 7: will always be valuable. And so I'm really excited about 1627 01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:10,040 Speaker 7: the opportunities that we can create for people and young 1628 01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:12,799 Speaker 7: people with justice projects alone. 1629 01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:15,439 Speaker 1: And there are countless jobs available. That's part of the problem. 1630 01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:17,559 Speaker 1: It's not like it's going away and demand. Everyone talks 1631 01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:20,120 Speaker 1: about there's no good jobs and why do we have crime? Well, 1632 01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:21,920 Speaker 1: I can't when I'm going to work in fast food 1633 01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:23,240 Speaker 1: and not make any money and I can go on 1634 01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:26,160 Speaker 1: the street and hustle, and I know it's not good, 1635 01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,559 Speaker 1: but it's something we have. These we need to push 1636 01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:30,400 Speaker 1: more people into these things. And it's got to be. 1637 01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:33,120 Speaker 1: We got to be more vocal about demanding that Hey, listen, 1638 01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:35,160 Speaker 1: we've got a job. We've got a career for over here. 1639 01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:38,360 Speaker 1: It's hard work. It's not like it was, you know, 1640 01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:40,519 Speaker 1: one hundred years ago, where you're sitting on top of 1641 01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:42,920 Speaker 1: a I don't know, a beam that's being swung by 1642 01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:45,479 Speaker 1: a crane, eating your lunch like they did during the depression. 1643 01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:52,280 Speaker 1: It's much safer now we have, right, we have oceans. Yeah, 1644 01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:54,800 Speaker 1: you're talking making like forty bucks an hour. I mean 1645 01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,160 Speaker 1: you're going to be making six figures easy with overtime. 1646 01:18:57,240 --> 01:18:58,040 Speaker 1: That's life changing. 1647 01:18:58,120 --> 01:18:58,360 Speaker 4: That that. 1648 01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,000 Speaker 1: You know, we talk about generation poverty all the time, 1649 01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:03,679 Speaker 1: meek in Cincinnati, in the community, in black and brown community. 1650 01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:05,320 Speaker 1: This addresses that. 1651 01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,240 Speaker 7: This certainly does. And I will think that, you know, 1652 01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:11,200 Speaker 7: this is one of the things I get most excited 1653 01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:15,439 Speaker 7: about what you think about. Excuse me being back into 1654 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:20,519 Speaker 7: city Hall and so developing those pipelines and working with 1655 01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:27,880 Speaker 7: partners like cps, like nonprofit philanthropy, our business community, and 1656 01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:30,600 Speaker 7: so many others to make sure our young people have 1657 01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,040 Speaker 7: you know, really opportunity and hope. At the end of 1658 01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:36,240 Speaker 7: the day, I will tell you this too. You know, 1659 01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:39,120 Speaker 7: green jobs are also a part of that which the 1660 01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,600 Speaker 7: Chamber of Commerce along with the City of Cincinnati commissioned 1661 01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:46,800 Speaker 7: a green workforce analysis, and in that analysis, there's the 1662 01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:51,000 Speaker 7: opportunity to create up to forty four thousand jobs, many 1663 01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:53,880 Speaker 7: of which are union jobs. When we think about electricians 1664 01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,760 Speaker 7: and you know, solling eighth tracks and solar panels and 1665 01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:59,800 Speaker 7: all of those pieces, but that hasn't a potential of 1666 01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:03,200 Speaker 7: an eleven billion dollar economic impact to the region. So 1667 01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:06,640 Speaker 7: you think about that coupled with the jobs at this infrastructure, 1668 01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:11,439 Speaker 7: this generational infrastructure project's going to bring. Workforce has to 1669 01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:13,160 Speaker 7: be at the top of the list for all of 1670 01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:16,719 Speaker 7: us over the next really five ten years. 1671 01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:21,400 Speaker 1: She's Mika Owens and she is a chair as a 1672 01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:26,960 Speaker 1: city council person of the committee that's heading up infrastructure 1673 01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:30,599 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. Met with O Dot yesterday and what's happening 1674 01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:32,800 Speaker 1: is we're moving forward in the Brent Spence Bridge set 1675 01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:35,560 Speaker 1: to begin construction early part of next year. Although I 1676 01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,639 Speaker 1: will say probably a lot of these site works being 1677 01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:38,160 Speaker 1: done right. 1678 01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:42,759 Speaker 7: Now, correct, Yeah, that's correct, So all of the small 1679 01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:46,880 Speaker 7: pieces that have to significant, but the pipes running the ground, 1680 01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:50,439 Speaker 7: all of those pieces that have to be set right 1681 01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:52,800 Speaker 7: now in order to actually get to the building of 1682 01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:56,599 Speaker 7: what we all know as a bridge. So the work 1683 01:20:56,720 --> 01:21:01,360 Speaker 7: is happening. We're really grateful that after decades of trying 1684 01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:04,040 Speaker 7: to get this first accomplished, that we're at this moment 1685 01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:06,040 Speaker 7: and it took a lot of works from a lot 1686 01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:10,479 Speaker 7: of people. Are of there's this community again government, and 1687 01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:13,200 Speaker 7: we're just happy that on both sides of the river, 1688 01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:16,880 Speaker 7: you know, people working cooarly to ensure that this is 1689 01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:20,519 Speaker 7: a really great project. And I also want to recognize that, 1690 01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:23,120 Speaker 7: you know, there are some future implications in terms of 1691 01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:27,600 Speaker 7: greater connectivity back to the West End, back to what 1692 01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:31,200 Speaker 7: we've known as Queenstate, but originally the West End when 1693 01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:34,400 Speaker 7: we think about the Fifth Street expansion and so those 1694 01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:38,320 Speaker 7: are things that are being built out right now and 1695 01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:41,559 Speaker 7: being a part of the design and conversation right now, 1696 01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:43,639 Speaker 7: so that when we get to a moment of being 1697 01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:47,360 Speaker 7: able to extend, you know, those things can happen. So 1698 01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:49,559 Speaker 7: we're thinking about the future even right now. 1699 01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:54,000 Speaker 1: Is this a deal where it sounds like most people 1700 01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:55,920 Speaker 1: go while you just canned it over to Oda. Oda 1701 01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:59,080 Speaker 1: takes care all the stuff work with Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. 1702 01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:02,080 Speaker 1: But Oda's going to how much oversight does the City 1703 01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:05,240 Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. Where's the accountability I guess, and how close 1704 01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:07,639 Speaker 1: tabs Nika Owens do you keep on what the project 1705 01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:09,439 Speaker 1: is overall from the Cincinnati perspective. 1706 01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:12,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, obviously this is uh, this is right at 1707 01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:16,439 Speaker 7: our heart of our city, and so certainly we want 1708 01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:18,840 Speaker 7: to make sure that we are continuing to be accountable 1709 01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:24,040 Speaker 7: results here. Our Department of Transportation Engineering has been uh 1710 01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:27,080 Speaker 7: with you know, working with ODAC every step of the way, 1711 01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:29,680 Speaker 7: and certainly this is not the first time that you know, 1712 01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:34,480 Speaker 7: the city and state come together to work on projects, 1713 01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:37,360 Speaker 7: and so those relationships are there. I also want to 1714 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:40,120 Speaker 7: recognize you know, Doublin or the line, you know, being 1715 01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:44,479 Speaker 7: a very a great partner, recognizing that at the local 1716 01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:48,200 Speaker 7: level there are some decisions that impact us directly, and 1717 01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:52,640 Speaker 7: so being right at the table to make sure that 1718 01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:55,560 Speaker 7: we are again getting all of the great benefits that 1719 01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,759 Speaker 7: this bridge will will bring to our city. So for example, 1720 01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:02,200 Speaker 7: you know, we've got to into their district that's coming online, 1721 01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:05,120 Speaker 7: and so when people get off and accit and go 1722 01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:09,000 Speaker 7: through a downtown Cincinnati, I mean, it is truly going 1723 01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:11,639 Speaker 7: to be a spectacle. And so that's what we want 1724 01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:14,000 Speaker 7: we want people to be able to not just go 1725 01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:17,800 Speaker 7: over the overpass for those that are maybe carrying of 1726 01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:20,560 Speaker 7: course certainly, but we want folks to be able to 1727 01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:23,439 Speaker 7: stop downtown enjoy, We want folks to be able to 1728 01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:25,519 Speaker 7: get to seventy one, want folks to be able to 1729 01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:27,680 Speaker 7: get to the West End. 1730 01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:29,040 Speaker 4: That is a huge. 1731 01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:32,439 Speaker 7: Opportunity in terms of what we might reimagine together there. 1732 01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:35,320 Speaker 7: So ultimately, yes, we want to be at the table 1733 01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:38,479 Speaker 7: and we want to make the decisions necessary and we're 1734 01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:41,280 Speaker 7: possible to make sure one this bridge is completed in 1735 01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:45,240 Speaker 7: a timely manner and then also you know, making sure 1736 01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:49,000 Speaker 7: that we're meeting the budget of this as well go 1737 01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:50,759 Speaker 7: out of our control. 1738 01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:53,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I guess we'll be good partners, Mika. 1739 01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:55,720 Speaker 1: But one of the other things the fact that year ago, 1740 01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:58,000 Speaker 1: almost a year ago, we had the bridge fire, the 1741 01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:00,720 Speaker 1: Big Mac Bridge, remember, a head shut down for a 1742 01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:03,080 Speaker 1: period of time because of the fire underneath it. And 1743 01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:06,160 Speaker 1: the end result is it was on going to mitigated 1744 01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:09,760 Speaker 1: traffic disaster on the street surface streets of Cincinnati because 1745 01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:12,080 Speaker 1: there's no preparation for something like that, but there was 1746 01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:14,880 Speaker 1: no reaction, There was no emergency plan in place to 1747 01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:17,000 Speaker 1: deal with something with one of the major bridges is 1748 01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:19,280 Speaker 1: shut down, and traffic in some areas went from a 1749 01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:23,200 Speaker 1: twenty or thirty minute commute to over two hours. Tempers 1750 01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:26,240 Speaker 1: were flying. Fortunately, no bad things really really happen other 1751 01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:29,280 Speaker 1: than traffic delays. But I look at that and go, Okay, well, 1752 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,680 Speaker 1: what's the plan now for surface streets being overwhelmed with 1753 01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:35,400 Speaker 1: traffic for the multi year build, for the decade long 1754 01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:36,759 Speaker 1: build that's the brent S Benz Bridge. 1755 01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:40,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's a great question, and certainly that'll be 1756 01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:43,439 Speaker 7: something that we can continue to follow up on. I 1757 01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:47,040 Speaker 7: do know that there are you know, professional engineers who 1758 01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:49,439 Speaker 7: this is not the first time building a bridge and 1759 01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:54,840 Speaker 7: assessing traffic and you know, traffic patterns and analyzing those things, 1760 01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:57,479 Speaker 7: and so that's also a part of what's going into 1761 01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:01,120 Speaker 7: the design process. So by the end of this year, 1762 01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:03,479 Speaker 7: beginning of next year, we'll have more ODAT, will have 1763 01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:07,320 Speaker 7: more information around these kind of traffic patterns and the 1764 01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:10,799 Speaker 7: way that the Playweight Belly Bailey Bridge might be impacted. 1765 01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:12,880 Speaker 7: But ultimately, at the end of the day, you know, 1766 01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:17,040 Speaker 7: this is about moving people very smoothly, not idle, not 1767 01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:20,400 Speaker 7: idling sitting on sitting on a Bridge waiting to go 1768 01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:23,120 Speaker 7: places they certainly we want to make sure we're moving 1769 01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:27,240 Speaker 7: people at the end of the day, and so yeah, 1770 01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:29,640 Speaker 7: I look forward to the updates that we'll continue to 1771 01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:33,160 Speaker 7: have with Odot in my committee. 1772 01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:35,120 Speaker 1: All right, I appreciate.

And of course the Bengals say, 1805 01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:34,479 Speaker 5: hold my beer because we are calling the Browns for help. 1806 01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:40,080 Speaker 1: That's unreal. A franchise that has destroyed quarterbacks since the 1807 01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:43,560 Speaker 1: nineteen nineties, we go to them for our next quarterback 1808 01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:46,240 Speaker 1: in forty year old Joe Flacco. She is such a 1809 01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:48,640 Speaker 1: devoted Bengals fan that Nottle does she drink in the 1810 01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:51,880 Speaker 1: kool aid? Sarah Elise has a day off today because 1811 01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:53,800 Speaker 1: she's going to cook sporting goods to get a Joe 1812 01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:56,040 Speaker 1: Flacco Bengals jersey to be the one in person in 1813 01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:58,519 Speaker 1: the stadium one to Joe Flacco Bengals jersey. 1814 01:27:59,479 --> 01:28:02,240 Speaker 5: That's right morning. The Bengals had tweeted out hot off 1815 01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:06,000 Speaker 5: the press and they were announcing that Joe Flacco will 1816 01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:12,960 Speaker 5: wear number sixteen, sixteen, your Cincinnati Bengals sixteen. Yeah, and 1817 01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:16,439 Speaker 5: as someone who's close to forty. Look, I'm not forty yet, 1818 01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:19,280 Speaker 5: but I just know that when you are twenty eight, 1819 01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:22,519 Speaker 5: you know, like one Joe Burrow versus almost forty, Well, 1820 01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:25,360 Speaker 5: you know, Joe being actually forty. You got to be 1821 01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:28,479 Speaker 5: careful with this guy, Like the old line has come 1822 01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:31,400 Speaker 5: to be on high alert. Now. You can't let this 1823 01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:34,920 Speaker 5: forty year old man bounce around the field like that. 1824 01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:37,160 Speaker 5: I mean, that's elder abuse, loony. 1825 01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:41,680 Speaker 1: That could be a lawsuit pending. Do you think that 1826 01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:43,640 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the offensive line stair is going 1827 01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:46,120 Speaker 1: to go Okay, you know what, Now we're inspired to 1828 01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:49,080 Speaker 1: protect the forty year old statue that is Joe Flacco. 1829 01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:52,679 Speaker 1: I love that it and go. The worst run game 1830 01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:55,120 Speaker 1: in the National Football League belong to the Bengals. I 1831 01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:57,519 Speaker 1: can't open holes for Chase Brown can't get more than 1832 01:28:57,720 --> 01:29:02,160 Speaker 1: inches when you need yards. And now you're tasking with 1833 01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:04,559 Speaker 1: not only creating a run game that's been not existed, 1834 01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:08,320 Speaker 1: but now creating, uh, creating run holes for the run game, 1835 01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:11,960 Speaker 1: but also protecting the leakage that's con prevent Joe Flacco 1836 01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:15,360 Speaker 1: but from becoming Joe Burrow. My fear is this fort 1837 01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:18,040 Speaker 1: of your Flacco gets in there and against By the way, 1838 01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:20,080 Speaker 1: I don't know you about this, but the pass rush 1839 01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:22,519 Speaker 1: of the Green Bay Packers with Micah Parsons is pretty 1840 01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:25,519 Speaker 1: damn good, best in the NFL. If they do, if 1841 01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:28,240 Speaker 1: he does what he's done in the past, I'm wondering 1842 01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:30,679 Speaker 1: how soon we're going to see Jake Browning return. 1843 01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:33,920 Speaker 5: Oh, let's not. We're not going to go back us 1844 01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:34,240 Speaker 5: like that. 1845 01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:35,600 Speaker 1: I feel like possibility it. 1846 01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,640 Speaker 5: Has it has to get only better from here. Unfortunately, 1847 01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:41,400 Speaker 5: Jake just couldn't get it done. And again you de 1848 01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:45,160 Speaker 5: for time. Turning to the Browns for a situation like this. 1849 01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:47,559 Speaker 5: So I don't know what we're going to see this weekend, 1850 01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:50,400 Speaker 5: but it does give me hope that the last time 1851 01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:53,960 Speaker 5: that Joe Flacco played the Packers was actually not that 1852 01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:57,360 Speaker 5: long ago, back on September twenty first with the ran 1853 01:29:57,560 --> 01:30:00,559 Speaker 5: he won and he managed to squeeze out a win 1854 01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:04,560 Speaker 5: thirteen to ten. So are they still fourteen and a 1855 01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:07,759 Speaker 5: half point favorites this weekend? That being the Packers? 1856 01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:10,320 Speaker 1: Yes with Joe, how are we looking? 1857 01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:12,559 Speaker 2: Yes? Yes? 1858 01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:16,880 Speaker 1: What does Vegas say? Vegas says Bengals lose. That's what 1859 01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:17,639 Speaker 1: Vegas says. 1860 01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:19,439 Speaker 2: You know what. 1861 01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:21,719 Speaker 5: I saw this stat the other day. Not to fast 1862 01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:23,600 Speaker 5: forward too much because I know we're just focused on 1863 01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:25,840 Speaker 5: one game at a time, but it said when the 1864 01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:30,639 Speaker 5: Bengals host the Steelers next week, the combined QB age 1865 01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:35,080 Speaker 5: is going to be eighty one years old. Of course, 1866 01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:39,520 Speaker 5: because they've got Aaron Rodgers. Just the battle of the elderly. 1867 01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:42,920 Speaker 5: I mean, what a time to be a fan team. Wow, 1868 01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:46,120 Speaker 5: what a roller coaster. But this is where you really 1869 01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:50,040 Speaker 5: have to capitalize in the AFC. I mean, the Ravens 1870 01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:53,000 Speaker 5: aren't getting it done, the brown stuck as always, and 1871 01:30:53,160 --> 01:30:55,840 Speaker 5: really the Steelers aren't impressive, so it's like, all right, 1872 01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:58,040 Speaker 5: Joe Flacco to the rescue. 1873 01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:02,120 Speaker 1: Eight or Nina Funny. Nine wins may get it done, Sarah. 1874 01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:05,880 Speaker 5: Which is wild to say because this used to be 1875 01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:08,120 Speaker 5: the division to look out for and now we're just 1876 01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:11,200 Speaker 5: we're looking on at this division like, oh, I'm kind 1877 01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:12,200 Speaker 5: of concerned here. 1878 01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:14,200 Speaker 1: The concern, though, is you still need a six or 1879 01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:16,040 Speaker 1: seven wins at this point to get to where you 1880 01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:18,600 Speaker 1: need to be. If that's the case, I can do that. 1881 01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:21,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, We'll see. I'll give I'll give the 1882 01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:23,640 Speaker 1: team credit, give the franchise credit. They went out and 1883 01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:26,400 Speaker 1: they did something right. They went out and got something, 1884 01:31:26,439 --> 01:31:27,160 Speaker 1: and I felt. 1885 01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:31,040 Speaker 5: Like such the Bengals mentality though, the Bengals mentality, it's like, 1886 01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:34,360 Speaker 5: well they did is this the right something? 1887 01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:34,720 Speaker 7: Well? 1888 01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:37,120 Speaker 1: What other options do you have? I mean, you can stay, 1889 01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:39,519 Speaker 1: you know what, Jake Brown and Canning you know clearly 1890 01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:42,120 Speaker 1: there's pressure on Zach Taylor. Of course, there's no pressure 1891 01:31:42,160 --> 01:31:45,280 Speaker 1: on Duke Tobin or or the or the family. No 1892 01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:48,760 Speaker 1: pressure there. Everything's fine, no, not ever. But to me, 1893 01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:51,960 Speaker 1: it's like I when when this broke yesterday afternoon, and 1894 01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:53,960 Speaker 1: it's how blow up on my phone. It struck me 1895 01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:55,640 Speaker 1: as Joe fla forty I know it is forty year 1896 01:31:55,640 --> 01:31:58,240 Speaker 1: old Joe Flacco, who, by the way, in Cleveland and 1897 01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:00,280 Speaker 1: four starts as one and three with the fifth eight 1898 01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:03,759 Speaker 1: percent completion rate, two touchdowns and six interceptions. On paper, 1899 01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:06,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't seem much different than Jake Browning. And this 1900 01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:10,120 Speaker 1: to me felt like this is the best chance of 1901 01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:12,640 Speaker 1: all the worst options available for what it is. It's 1902 01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:16,000 Speaker 1: It's like, Sarah, this is like a closing time hookup, 1903 01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:18,000 Speaker 1: is what it is. You're a dude. You're not the 1904 01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:21,000 Speaker 1: best pick of the litter. You know, you have questionable hygiene. 1905 01:32:21,160 --> 01:32:24,720 Speaker 1: You're not a very good person. She seems I don't know. 1906 01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:27,080 Speaker 1: Her friend says she's got a great personnel, she's a 1907 01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:31,799 Speaker 1: nice person. I don't. I don't know. We're both desperate. 1908 01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:34,000 Speaker 1: Let's just hook up. That's what this is. It's a 1909 01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:35,839 Speaker 1: it's a it's a closing time hookup. 1910 01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:39,720 Speaker 5: If this makes you feel better, Joe Flacco is the 1911 01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:45,639 Speaker 5: only Super Bowl winning QB that the Bengals have ever had. 1912 01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:51,000 Speaker 1: Did we and when you phrase it that way, did 1913 01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:51,639 Speaker 1: we swipe? 1914 01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:52,040 Speaker 2: Laughter? 1915 01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:52,720 Speaker 1: Swipe?

Either that, I don't 1921 01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:04,160 Speaker 1: know if it's a last swipe right, swipe up down. 1922 01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:05,439 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what's going on here. 1923 01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:08,519 Speaker 5: I have no idea old for this, just like Jill FLACKO, 1924 01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:12,760 Speaker 5: this is the time of the elderly. But of course, yeah, 1925 01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:15,360 Speaker 5: he got it done with the Ravens not even ten 1926 01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:18,519 Speaker 5: years ago. But can you do it with the Bengals. 1927 01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:21,559 Speaker 1: We'll see, But no way, let me interrupt. I saw 1928 01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:23,639 Speaker 1: this this morning. Okay, do you know since his last 1929 01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:25,880 Speaker 1: full season in twenty seventeen what his record is? 1930 01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:28,160 Speaker 5: Oh, I'm curious. 1931 01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:30,960 Speaker 1: Go ahead, fourteen and twenty six. 1932 01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:34,479 Speaker 5: Welcome to the Bengals. 1933 01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:36,800 Speaker 1: You'll fit right in, Sit right in, You'll fit right in. 1934 01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:40,320 Speaker 5: You're doing great. But yeah, Zach Taylor had released a 1935 01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:43,679 Speaker 5: statement yesterday, very long, so i'll just sort of spark 1936 01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:46,599 Speaker 5: noted here he goes, Yeah, joll Flackow has the history 1937 01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:50,000 Speaker 5: of winning. He is a leader, a gifted pastor, and 1938 01:33:50,280 --> 01:33:51,960 Speaker 5: we're excited to have him on the team. 1939 01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:55,720 Speaker 1: Very well, I want him to say what is he 1940 01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:56,639 Speaker 1: supposed to say? 1941 01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:00,840 Speaker 5: He fear every time I read exact quote, I'm like 1942 01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:04,040 Speaker 5: I could have probably said this in my head and 1943 01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:06,400 Speaker 5: told you that this is what Doc Taylor said. It's 1944 01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:10,120 Speaker 5: very predictable at this And if Zach Taylor solve the job, 1945 01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:12,880 Speaker 5: if they can't beat now, if they can't, okay, say 1946 01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:15,160 Speaker 5: for example, they go on and they beat the Packers 1947 01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:18,000 Speaker 5: this weekend, and okay, and then and then they go 1948 01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:19,920 Speaker 5: ahead and they beat the Steelers. Does that mean that 1949 01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:22,080 Speaker 5: all of a sudden, back Taylor's job should be safe 1950 01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:28,479 Speaker 5: and we're back on teams. Dak Taylor again to me, 1951 01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:29,880 Speaker 5: I don't just spit out my coffee. 1952 01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:33,080 Speaker 1: Well, let's hear the winning. Winning solves a lot of problems. 1953 01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:34,680 Speaker 1: You know when Zach took them to the Super Bowl? 1954 01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:35,240 Speaker 5: Really good? 1955 01:34:36,320 --> 01:34:36,439 Speaker 3: Right? 1956 01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:38,640 Speaker 1: I Mean, here's the weirdest thing I've ever seen in 1957 01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:41,080 Speaker 1: my lifetime, with all they hate and negativity towards this 1958 01:34:41,200 --> 01:34:43,599 Speaker 1: team for what they have not done and what they 1959 01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:47,840 Speaker 1: continue to not do. Mike Brown himself was celebrated in 1960 01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:51,080 Speaker 1: Washington Park by cheering crowds when they returned from losing 1961 01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:51,720 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. 1962 01:34:54,800 --> 01:34:57,599 Speaker 5: Use I was there, and it was a very bitter 1963 01:34:57,760 --> 01:35:03,400 Speaker 5: sweet celebration, like this is very Cincinnati of us. What 1964 01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:04,240 Speaker 5: are we doing? 1965 01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:06,600 Speaker 1: Like we thought we turned the corners like, Okay, they 1966 01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:09,680 Speaker 1: woke up. You know, the Blackburn girls are involved and 1967 01:35:10,160 --> 01:35:11,800 Speaker 1: things are changing. We've got to ring up, honor. We 1968 01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:14,280 Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl and now all of a sudden, 1969 01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:16,679 Speaker 1: it's it's gone completely back to where it was before, 1970 01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:19,320 Speaker 1: which makes you think with Parody and the NFL, maybe 1971 01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:21,680 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl year they just got lucky, Like we 1972 01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:23,519 Speaker 1: were bad enough that we got one of the best 1973 01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:27,479 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league. I mean generational talent and Joe Burrow. 1974 01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:30,519 Speaker 1: You got Jamar Chase t Higgins was great, but you 1975 01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:32,400 Speaker 1: did that because you sucked for so long. You got 1976 01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:36,640 Speaker 1: to pick of the letter that does those things. We 1977 01:35:36,720 --> 01:35:39,200 Speaker 1: didn't invest in an offensive line. I mean the defense 1978 01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:43,160 Speaker 1: right now is mid. So I look at this this 1979 01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:45,040 Speaker 1: whole package. You go, well, Cleveland at least has a 1980 01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:47,439 Speaker 1: really really good defense that's going to turn the ball 1981 01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:49,439 Speaker 1: back over to Joe Flacco or in this case, Dyllan 1982 01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:52,280 Speaker 1: Gabriel more often than the Bengals will. That's also a concern. 1983 01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:56,000 Speaker 5: Better are they on the Bengals, which is really wild 1984 01:35:56,160 --> 01:35:58,960 Speaker 5: to stay. I mean, I haven't seen really anything good 1985 01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:01,439 Speaker 5: happening with this team in the past few weeks. It's 1986 01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:03,839 Speaker 5: really sad, and again when I was there on Sunday 1987 01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:06,240 Speaker 5: out numbered by Lions Sance, I saw a lot of 1988 01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:09,599 Speaker 5: people wearing those paper bags over their heads, a lot 1989 01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:13,800 Speaker 5: of fire Dak Taylor signs. But like you said, if 1990 01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:16,599 Speaker 5: they start winning and turning things around, it's really amazing 1991 01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:20,880 Speaker 5: what happens and how quick the fans were. You get 1992 01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:23,240 Speaker 5: a couple of losses and the paper bags come out. 1993 01:36:23,560 --> 01:36:25,599 Speaker 5: I think it's going to look like late November. 1994 01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:27,720 Speaker 1: I have no idea what to expect Sunday. I really 1995 01:36:27,720 --> 01:36:29,960 Speaker 1: I have no idea. I have not but I'll watch, 1996 01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:30,800 Speaker 1: I'll listen right. 1997 01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:34,960 Speaker 5: Oh, I'm so sad for this. I'm even more excited 1998 01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:38,200 Speaker 5: than ever. I'm like Jake Browning, but Joe Flacco, I mean, 1999 01:36:38,240 --> 01:36:40,240 Speaker 5: this is someone that this is someone that that you 2000 01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:40,960 Speaker 5: want to root for. 2001 01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:43,599 Speaker 1: You always liked you. You always prefer the older men. 2002 01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:50,479 Speaker 5: I'm like, Oh, Joe, Okay, this is someone. 2003 01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:52,000 Speaker 1: What's his fit? 2004 01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:52,200 Speaker 7: Like? 2005 01:36:52,320 --> 01:36:53,040 Speaker 1: He's a zaddie. 2006 01:36:54,320 --> 01:36:57,920 Speaker 5: I'm duned in well, speaking of I wonder what he 2007 01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:00,920 Speaker 5: wore last night and stuff rubies.

I don't know who we went out 2011 01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:12,360 Speaker 5: to dinner with, if it were for Steak Browning or 2012 01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:15,559 Speaker 5: Jamar Stacey Higgins, whoever, But I just know that that's 2013 01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:17,280 Speaker 5: where she was at last night. That's the way to 2014 01:37:17,640 --> 01:37:19,160 Speaker 5: get welcomed into the city. 2015 01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:20,960 Speaker 1: Right, I would think, like, Okay, I'm gonna get in 2016 01:37:21,160 --> 01:37:23,040 Speaker 1: and on the way, somebody's picking me up and they've 2017 01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:25,920 Speaker 1: got an iPad, and I'm gonna study the entire time 2018 01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:27,680 Speaker 1: to like get to Cincinnati.

And I'm 2035 01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:15,160 Speaker 5: also wondering, like, how did he get to Cincinnati. Do 2036 01:38:15,200 --> 01:38:17,120 Speaker 5: you think that they just sent a car for him? 2037 01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:20,040 Speaker 5: Did he get some sort of like private plane situation? 2038 01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:23,160 Speaker 5: This is a pretty quick drive. Did they send an 2039 01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:24,000 Speaker 5: uber for him? 2040 01:38:24,479 --> 01:38:24,519 Speaker 4: No? 2041 01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:27,400 Speaker 1: I guess probably Like what is that the Mega bus 2042 01:38:27,520 --> 01:38:29,960 Speaker 1: or the Baron's Billions, the Baron's bus or whatever it 2043 01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:32,880 Speaker 1: is from Cleveland taking that down sitting in the back. Hey, 2044 01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:33,760 Speaker 1: they got free Wi Fi. 2045 01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:37,360 Speaker 5: I mean, we don't have to pay for this guy. 2046 01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:43,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, send the private jet.

That gives me faith that he will be back, 2051 01:38:52,479 --> 01:38:54,560 Speaker 5: maybe sooner than expected. 2052 01:38:54,800 --> 01:38:56,800 Speaker 1: I think the club is confident that Joe will be 2053 01:38:56,880 --> 01:38:58,920 Speaker 1: back in December because of the indication of what they 2054 01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:00,519 Speaker 1: did here, that they made a move, going, hey, if 2055 01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:02,479 Speaker 1: we can maybe get a couple of wins out of 2056 01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:05,400 Speaker 1: this guy who knows what happens, If it can be 2057 01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:07,920 Speaker 1: early December as opposed to late December, then you probably 2058 01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:09,599 Speaker 1: don't have a chance, but Sarah Lisa is here. 2059 01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:12,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe Joe Flacca will hit for the cycle and 2060 01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:14,120 Speaker 5: sign with the Steelers. 2061 01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:18,040 Speaker 1: He's played for every team in the division except for 2062 01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:21,360 Speaker 1: the Steelers. And maybe Aaron Rodgers goes down, we get 2063 01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:24,200 Speaker 1: to Burrow back and then at December we see Flacco 2064 01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:25,760 Speaker 1: start for the Steelers.
