Speaker 1: Okay, crazy crazy Saturday right now?
Speaker 2: Holy smokes, Uh, Donna, d here, Sterling. My partner should
Speaker 2: be on hold.
Speaker 1: I think he is because he's been driving for like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, two hours, two hours?
Speaker 2: I mean, is it exactly two hours? Sterling?
Speaker 3: Uh, hang on a minute. Here, I'm in the thick
Speaker 3: of the nastiness. It's two hours and eleven minutes.
Speaker 4: Wow, what my dashboard said?
Speaker 3: Yeah, And normally it's less than a good bit less
Speaker 3: than an hour.
Speaker 1: Okay, So when we I mean that's when we talked
Speaker 1: earlier and I said, are you sure you're coming in?
Speaker 1: And you said, oh, yeah, I'm coming in. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: are you regretting it?
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 2: I did be hold.
Speaker 3: And you have eight seconds away?
Speaker 1: Well I do. It's right behind ken Town Center. But
Speaker 1: let me tell you it normally takes me five minutes.
Speaker 1: First of all, there's a lot of people on the road.
Speaker 1: It was shocking how many people are on the road
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: It is a thick, slushy mess on the road.
Speaker 1: And I slipped probably four or five times while getting
Speaker 1: here in any five minute journey. It was not good.
Speaker 1: If you don't have to go out, don't go out.
Speaker 1: That's what I would say.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair, but apparently everybody has paid no attention
Speaker 3: to the warnings and it's been more like rush hour
Speaker 3: than anything else. Trucks Jack Knight all over the place,
Speaker 3: people all over off the road to seventy five, seventy
Speaker 3: five and seventy one. And I'm just now getting off
Speaker 3: of our exit here at Montgomery Road off of seventy one,
Speaker 3: so and I can see payment.
Speaker 4: It's great.
Speaker 2: I mean, Holly smokes well. I mean we were warned,
Speaker 2: we were told, they.
Speaker 1: Said it was going to be you know, moved to
Speaker 1: you know, maybe eight inches of snow.
Speaker 2: I think we're there.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got to check in because it was
Speaker 1: crazy just getting in here. But it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: winter Weather Advisory in effect from seven tonight until eleven
Speaker 1: Monday morning.
Speaker 2: That's what it says.
Speaker 1: Windshills as low as ten to fifteen below fourteen for
Speaker 1: the high tomorrow for the Bengals game. And I heard
Speaker 1: it was going to be record lows in Chicago. I mean,
Speaker 1: like they're playing a game strilling where it's gonna be
Speaker 1: record low temperatures.
Speaker 2: Good for the like negative twenty.
Speaker 3: Sure, you got to have a hobby, you know, they're
Speaker 3: making big bucks. Go ahead, I want to know who's
Speaker 3: cleaning up, who's cleaning up pay core for those desperate
Speaker 3: souls that are going to be there tomorrow in ten
Speaker 3: degrees or so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be high, foy, it'll be about ten degrees.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you do it.
Speaker 1: I really don't know how you do it. How they
Speaker 1: play in that, and it's just kind of crazy. I'm
Speaker 1: having a hard time dry an innute. Today is a
Speaker 1: good day to stay home and just don't go anywhere.
Speaker 3: We will have Kathleen Fuller on from Odd Cincinnati to
Speaker 3: check in here shortly and we'll see exactly how they
Speaker 3: are approaching this and what kind of the usual stuff.
Speaker 3: Don't crowd the plows, stay away from the salt being thrown.
Speaker 2: You know all that I've seen.
Speaker 1: I've seen plows on my street twice. Have you seen
Speaker 1: a bunch of snowplows on.
Speaker 3: The road, a bunch on the interstate?
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 4: I think they've been around my house.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: All I know is that my dog was not happy
Speaker 3: that I had to make him come in to get here.
Speaker 3: So that was a battle because he thought it was
Speaker 3: a game in the backyard.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this. My dog loves the snow too. It's
Speaker 1: crazy and it's fun. I do too, I just don't
Speaker 1: like driving in it. How far do you have, sterling?
Speaker 3: Well, here's what I'm going to do right now. I
Speaker 3: am going to get in the elevator. So I don't
Speaker 3: know if this is going to actually continue.
Speaker 2: To work out.
Speaker 3: You just you can handle this on your own.
Speaker 4: You're a professional.
Speaker 2: No, I can't. I cannot.
Speaker 3: No, don't say that out Wow.
Speaker 2: I'll be up in a minute, Bye bye, seeing a
Speaker 2: zach Wow. So it is. It is crazy out.
Speaker 1: It's it's not that cold, ironically, but it will get
Speaker 1: very very cold tonight and into tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Ohio fourteen only. Uh So, we are going to have
Speaker 2: o Dot.
Speaker 1: To talk about, you know, how they're doing plowing and
Speaker 1: all that stuff.
Speaker 2: I've seen them. I think they're doing a really good job.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of snow dumping and it started at
Speaker 1: noon today. We're also going to have the owner of
Speaker 1: the Bell and Bear. If you've ever been to the
Speaker 1: Bell and Bear, which is a cool little spot in
Speaker 1: Montgomery to see live music, Cares Christopher is going to
Speaker 1: be on with us to talk about her philanthropic work.
Speaker 1: It's the season to give, It is the season to
Speaker 1: be kind to your neighbors. She is raised in the
Speaker 1: time that she is been the owner almost three hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for pets and people, so human causes. We're
Speaker 1: going to talk to her about that coming up at
Speaker 1: six point thirty. Other than crazy weather, we're gonna talk about,
Speaker 1: obviously the topic at hand, Joe Burrow, you know, after
Speaker 1: his his his press conference or interview. You know, he's
Speaker 1: always such a positive guy talking about you know, he's
Speaker 1: got to be happy in the game. We're going to
Speaker 1: talk about what that means. Everybody in the world is
Speaker 1: talking about that right now, and the coach from Michigan,
Speaker 1: so we're we're going to get.
Speaker 2: Into all of that.
Speaker 1: I think Sterling is going to be walking in here
Speaker 1: any minute after a two hour drive.
Speaker 2: Again, just be careful on the roads.
Speaker 1: Yes you have heard it, but I just got here
Speaker 1: from five minutes down the road and it was slippery
Speaker 1: and slushy and slidey, and it's just not a good
Speaker 1: night to be out on the road. Even if you
Speaker 1: like dry and you think, oh man, I'm good at this,
Speaker 1: I got it. I got a big car. It's still
Speaker 1: really a mess out there because I like driving and
Speaker 1: I don't like driving in this A lot of people
Speaker 1: on the road, a lot of people Christmas shopping right
Speaker 1: by the Kenwood Town Center, so you know, just be careful.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, Christmas is so close and it's.
Speaker 1: Really festive and fun to see the snow, but it
Speaker 1: might be time to get home and stay home. So
Speaker 1: Saturday night we're gonna come up. I'm gonna be here
Speaker 1: so hopefully nobody gets sick of me too much. I'm
Speaker 1: going to be here from six o'clock until twelve midnight
Speaker 1: tonight for Relationship Radio, We're going to talk about retirement.
Speaker 2: It is on everybody's minds.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are talking about retirement, when too
Speaker 1: and when not to retire. Oh look there he is

Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: We're here for the people, the servants of the people, right, yes, yeah,
Speaker 6: all right, we're gonna call Kathleen full Earn a bit.
Speaker 4: I don't know what you were doing. I was in
Speaker 4: the elevation.
Speaker 2: I was just, oh, okay, well we're on the air.
Speaker 1: Everybody has gotten everybody's a little crazy over here because it's, uh,
Speaker 1: it's one of those nights where you know, maybe you know,
Speaker 1: we have we have to be here.
Speaker 2: We're happy to be here.
Speaker 1: We're happy to give news and weather and traffic and
Speaker 1: all the things that you need uh to stay safe
Speaker 1: on the road.
Speaker 2: But we have to get to and we have to
Speaker 2: plan on leaving. Crazy day. Almost time for stresses.
Speaker 1: Oh and when I was talking about retirement, so a
Speaker 1: friend of mine who's been retired this past year, she's
Speaker 1: coming in with retired Cincinnati police officer is going to
Speaker 1: come in tonight. I can't believe they're going to be here,
Speaker 1: but they are, and we're going to talk about UH
Speaker 1: and go deep dive into retirement and what that means,
Speaker 1: I don't even want to say it. In terms of
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, people speculating that he might be doing this,
Speaker 1: or you know, a lot of talk around Joe Burrow.
Speaker 2: We're going to get into that as well.
Speaker 1: So again, Sterling will be back in a minute, and
Speaker 1: I am just kind of figuring out what we're doing
Speaker 1: coming up. Yeah, we're going to call the lady from
Speaker 1: ODOT and figure out what else is next.
Speaker 2: I have my computer over here, Joe.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break, let me see what Sterling's doing,
Speaker 1: and we'll come back into and get another uh and
Speaker 1: get in in another minute. Donna d seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati.
Speaker 6: Ah, yeah, here we are fine.
Speaker 4: Saturday.
Speaker 6: Sterling and Donna Dye White knuckling it in on two
Speaker 6: seventy five and seventy one and slow down a lot
Speaker 6: extra room.
Speaker 1: People are riding it like I mean they it is crazy.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Yeah, slow down, give everybody your enough room.
Speaker 6: And tailgating tractor trailers. And I saw some people right behind.
Speaker 6: And I talked to Kathleen Fuller about this from o
Speaker 6: DOT Cincinnati last night, and by the way, she's back
Speaker 6: with us it was Sterling and Donna on the big one. Kathleen,
Speaker 6: how are you so?
Speaker 8: I'm doing fine?
Speaker 6: And were you doing well? We we talked about this
Speaker 6: last night. Don't crowd the plow, stay away from the
Speaker 6: salt and whatever products being dropped behind it is. It's
Speaker 6: pushing the snow out of the way. And I kid
Speaker 6: you not. At least four, maybe five people I saw
Speaker 6: closer than I would like to be to even myself
Speaker 6: frankly a lot of the time, and immediately thought to you, so,
Speaker 6: what is a doing? How is it looking? And what
Speaker 6: is the plan as we move ahead? I could ask
Speaker 6: fewer questions, but I know that you know what's up.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so the plan is to continue what we're doing,
Speaker 9: which is really just trying to plow and fight what
Speaker 9: we've got out there. But it's it is going to be.
Speaker 2: A very long night.
Speaker 9: You know, we already know that the roads are snow covered.
Speaker 9: People should not expect anything to be clear. You should
Speaker 9: not expect to see anything better than a wheel track,
Speaker 9: some even on the inner stace. You know, you're lucky
Speaker 9: if you see those. So, yeah, it's just gonna be
Speaker 9: a long night for everybody. It's going to be out
Speaker 9: especially our crews are going to be fighting this, but
Speaker 9: it's just basically plows down and just keep doing what
Speaker 9: we're doing.
Speaker 1: Kathleen, how long between the plows, like, do you go over?
Speaker 1: Because I've seen two already on my street from today,
Speaker 1: So what is the you know, is it three out
Speaker 1: two hours? How how long is it the continuous plowing?
Speaker 9: Well, so we go, you know, o, Doc, we just
Speaker 9: from the start to the end after we get everything
Speaker 9: cleaned up, so we'll continue on throughout the entire event
Speaker 9: and until things are basically cleaned up.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 9: It takes the operator is a very long time though
Speaker 9: to travel a certain route, so it depends on where
Speaker 9: you are. You know, we have just a limited number
Speaker 9: of pile trucks available, and of course every truck is
Speaker 9: going to be out in this, but they're not going
Speaker 9: to be at all places at all times. So depending
Speaker 9: on where you are, you may not it may not
Speaker 9: look like you've seen a driver or a plild truck
Speaker 9: on your route. In your case, is I'm glad you
Speaker 9: did see you know, fairly quick response. But again, it
Speaker 9: takes a long time to cover a route, so it
Speaker 9: depends on the roadway of two lane route out in
Speaker 9: the rural parts of our districts, say in Clinton County
Speaker 9: or in Prebble County. You know, you have long driver
Speaker 9: assigned to that route. It can take just two or
Speaker 9: three hours for them to make one pass, meaning going
Speaker 9: in one direction from the starting point to the ending point.
Speaker 8: So now it takes couple more hours to get back
Speaker 8: into a round.
Speaker 9: So it takes a long time to do this. So
Speaker 9: we don't stop until it's over.
Speaker 1: Wow, and it's ending somewhere in the ten o'clock hour.
Speaker 2: Are you seeing that the same?
Speaker 9: Yeah, So we're saying between ten and eleven, this show
Speaker 9: should be off most of our area.
Speaker 8: You know, that band, I think is going to dip
Speaker 8: down just a little bit.
Speaker 9: So if you were in southern part of Claremont County
Speaker 9: and things are looking kind of good and now they're
Speaker 9: starting to look bad, it's probably gonna get worse down there,
Speaker 9: because I think that band is going to dip just
Speaker 9: a little bit. By eleven o'clock, most of this should
Speaker 9: be out of the area. Then, of course, our crews
Speaker 9: are going to continue on during the overnight. They're not
Speaker 9: going to be going home just because the snow stops.
Speaker 6: Sterling and Donna Dee talking to Kathleen Fuller from O
Speaker 6: dot Cincinnati. I know there's a spot. Just hear Jack
Speaker 6: krumbling the news. We'll hear from him again in a bit.
Speaker 6: Coming up that hill along Kenwood in seventy one is
Speaker 6: just always a backup with that stretch. So again it's
Speaker 6: sort of allow extra time and if you don't have
Speaker 6: to be out. I know it sounds like a broken record.
Speaker 6: We talked about it before the snow came last night.
Speaker 6: Don't go out, but it seems like everybody, whether it's
Speaker 6: Christmas shopping or just it's Saturday, who cares. Let's go
Speaker 6: have a good time. I'm telling you there's a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 6: big pull out. It sounds like almost like rush hour today.
Speaker 9: I am watching the cameras right now as we speak.
Speaker 9: I'm watching this what we call the CIMCI six different
Speaker 9: cameras from around the scanty area. That's just the thirty
Speaker 9: sixth in kind of closer to downtown and seventy one. Yes,
Speaker 9: right around certainly around Red Bank going up through to Montgomery,
Speaker 9: basically around the Silver pat that northbound is at a
Speaker 9: crawl and southbound. There was a crash on the Kennwood
Speaker 9: kind of in the Kenwood area on the southbound side.
Speaker 9: It was moving over there a little bit better if
Speaker 9: you don't have to be on I seventy one right
Speaker 9: now in that area and say avoid it, don't go
Speaker 9: I seventy one. It is a sales space, but there
Speaker 9: are a lot of cars out there, a lot of motorists.
Speaker 9: I see a lot of traffic on these.
Speaker 4: Cameras as you do this.
Speaker 6: I mean, you've been a part of this sort of
Speaker 6: I don't know what the term is, snow warrior, whatever else.
Speaker 6: You've been in those trucks. Matt rooning Will I've known
Speaker 6: forever in a day. It been a part of this too.
Speaker 6: With Odat, you guys are all over the place again,
Speaker 6: just sort of to reiterate how many trucks because there's
Speaker 6: no Everybody always thinks that you're not getting it done,
Speaker 6: whether it's O DOT, whether it's the city of Cincinnati,
Speaker 6: because we all instantly expect, as quickly as we might
Speaker 6: be able to do our walk, that that road and
Speaker 6: everything else to get where we want to go is
Speaker 6: going to be as nice and neat as possible, and
Speaker 6: it takes time. You've got a bunch of people out
Speaker 6: there in these trucks.
Speaker 8: Right, so we probably have.
Speaker 9: I didn't check the count, but I would say if
Speaker 9: we're the staffed, we're probably going to be at around
Speaker 9: one hundred and thirty five, one hundred and forty out there,
Speaker 9: you know, throughout this event. So you know, that's that's
Speaker 9: actually quite a few. It doesn't maybe seem like it
Speaker 9: to everybody else other than a lot, you know. And
Speaker 9: in all of our southwest region, which would also include
Speaker 9: Contra District seven areas, so you're talking Montgomery County, Dayton,
Speaker 9: we're looking at more than two hundred, probably two hundred
Speaker 9: and thirty trucks out in our whole area. So and
Speaker 9: you know they're they're getting it down there, they're doing
Speaker 9: the best they can. But again, you got just this
Speaker 9: much snow coming down, and it's just been constant since
Speaker 9: probably around noon or since today at leve o'clock twelve.
Speaker 9: It hasn't stopped, and so there's not been to break.
Speaker 8: And so all they.
Speaker 9: Can do now is just keep plowing and keep and
Speaker 9: putting some materials down.
Speaker 8: When they you know, they know what they're doing.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 8: I don't.
Speaker 9: I cannot pretend that I know the all of our
Speaker 9: fine highway technicians. I don't do a thing about what
Speaker 9: they do. Honestly, I think I talk about it, but
Speaker 9: I've never done their job, and I know it's a
Speaker 9: hard job.
Speaker 8: So and I'm my props to them.
Speaker 1: I know we're we're running, we're running late. But one thing,
Speaker 1: do you feel like this is going to be an
Speaker 1: interesting winter, meaning with a lot of snow? I mean,
Speaker 1: what are your predictions here, because we're already getting some cold, cold,
Speaker 1: cold snaps and some snow, and it's kind of early
Speaker 1: for that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I know, and the technical winner hasn't even
Speaker 9: started yet. It's kind of it's kind of more running,
Speaker 9: I guess. But I think we're gonna have a cold
Speaker 9: winter for our area. As much I don't know about snow,
Speaker 9: you know, it looks like we're going to have a
Speaker 9: very kind of a more snowy type of winter season
Speaker 9: that will typically do. But I think we are going
Speaker 9: to have a cold winter so we've had, you know,
Speaker 9: I think it's like last year's kind of mine all over.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I'm expecting it to be cold.
Speaker 9: I'm hoping I wrong, but I after doing this for
Speaker 9: so many years, I'm kind of feeling and talking to
Speaker 9: of other people hearing what some of our folks and
Speaker 9: how I Management Department had said.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm gonna go with it's going to be cold.
Speaker 6: I just I always thought al Nina was supposed to
Speaker 6: be warmer and wetter, and this is not warmer. It
Speaker 6: is wet, and it's white and it's piling up. And
Speaker 6: Kathleen Fuller from ODAD Cincinnati, thank you forgive us some
Speaker 6: time and doing what you do and letting us know
Speaker 6: where all those trucks out there pushing out of the
Speaker 6: way and dropping melt behind it.
Speaker 4: We appreciate you and everything that you're up to.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 8: Thank you. Thanks for everybody listening. Again. Please if you
Speaker 8: don't have to be out tonight, stay home. It's not
Speaker 8: worth it.
Speaker 9: If you are going to be out, take it slow.
Speaker 9: These roads are passable right now, but there's a lot
Speaker 9: of snow on the routes and you don't know what's
Speaker 9: underneath the snow. It could be a little bit of
Speaker 9: a little bit of ice down there too, So just
Speaker 9: slow down.
Speaker 4: There you go. She knows a thing or two about
Speaker 4: a thing or two.
Speaker 6: O DOT Cincinnati's Kathleen Fuller, Stirling and Donna d coming
Speaker 6: back some good conversation about stuff, helping others in the community,
Speaker 6: a chance for you to give us an update on
Speaker 6: how the snow in the circumstance on the roads, look
Speaker 6: where you are in a whole lot of other ground
Speaker 6: to cover, including James Rapeen talking Bengals Ravens after seven
Speaker 6: o'clock as well, But now it's time for Jack Crumley
Speaker 6: in the latest from the tri state weather situation and
Speaker 6: everything else around planet Earth that matters to us here
Speaker 6: on news Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: Sterling and Donnade hanging out.
Speaker 6: Joe Waddell keeping us online and on inline on time
Speaker 6: something if you.
Speaker 2: Know it's in line and on time. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Jack Crumley with another news update in about nineteen minutes
Speaker 6: seven hundred WLW. What you're listening to. Roads are a mess, No,
Speaker 6: still falling, it's accumulating. They're trying to push it out
Speaker 6: of the way. A lot of people on the road.
Speaker 6: Let's see all the obligatory things allow us to extra
Speaker 6: distance slow down. Seventy one North shutdown basically between or
Speaker 6: beyond Stuart Road. There's crash there and also southbound's not closed,
Speaker 6: but it is what they describe as restricted on the
Speaker 6: OGO which, by the way, Ogo dot com great place
Speaker 6: you can look at all the cameras. Even on a
Speaker 6: good day, I'll be working and just look at monitors
Speaker 6: of traffic.
Speaker 4: I find it calming and.
Speaker 2: Relax is it?
Speaker 1: O go?
Speaker 2: Oh h g oh og dot com? Oh go?
Speaker 6: Good to know about O Goo? Yeah, good to know
Speaker 6: about Ogo? Right, they should pay us for that. That's
Speaker 6: good line. So anyway, just be careful wherever you're going
Speaker 6: and allow extra time. This is supposed to go on
Speaker 6: this winter storm morning and effect until seven tomorrow morning.
Speaker 6: But I think it looks like some of this stuff
Speaker 6: has moved through a little faster than initially thought, which
Speaker 6: hopefully means they'll be cleaning it up a little faster
Speaker 6: than expected. But either way, the winter storm mornings is
Speaker 6: in effect till seven tomorrow morning.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Just you know, still dumping snow. I mean since noon today.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. I was surprised you made it here. You
Speaker 1: wanted to get here because I got you your Christmas gift.
Speaker 6: That's exactly right, and mine is on order for you.
Speaker 6: I got you a couple of little things right now.
Speaker 6: We love all the holidays, Yeah, sure, starts the fifteenth Monday,
Speaker 6: and so we got that going on Christmas quins, anything
Speaker 6: where there's good food and music and people, good times.
Speaker 4: And I don't one way or the other.
Speaker 6: I mean really don't need or want for anything, except
Speaker 6: I did buy those because I've dand I've left this
Speaker 6: coffee mug and it's good for hot and cold on
Speaker 6: the top of the car. I had like four of these.
Speaker 6: Two I've left on the top of the car over
Speaker 6: a period of time and then driven, which by the way,
Speaker 6: is not good and they will take a tumble and
Speaker 6: get jacked up. So I've won that got run over
Speaker 6: and one that's dented badling than this one. So I
Speaker 6: bought a pack of them and it was cold only
Speaker 6: because I thought anything thermal would go hotame.
Speaker 2: I was looking.
Speaker 1: That's what I got you, as a brand new, nice,
Speaker 1: awesome one that's hot and cold. But I would tell
Speaker 1: I did a lot of research on those.
Speaker 2: Stumblers that I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: You would think they were for hot because they're insulated,
Speaker 1: but you really have to check that.
Speaker 4: I had no idea.
Speaker 6: I busted them out of the thing I put them
Speaker 6: because I wash everything just like I washed before I
Speaker 6: wear them. Generally, Yes, it's in a pinch and I
Speaker 6: put them in the dishwasher. Then I'm getting ready to
Speaker 6: condense the box for Rumky recycling, which I still don't
Speaker 6: necessarily know if that helps anything in the world. But
Speaker 6: they have two bins I gotta fill. So I go
Speaker 6: to crush it and I just happened to look at
Speaker 6: said cold. Only the hell did I even find.
Speaker 2: Hot drinks in there? For like right years?
Speaker 7: Who knew?
Speaker 12: So?
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so thank you for that. Well, I would
Speaker 1: not have known unless you told me that. So I

Speaker 6: a friend of yours. I know, the Bell and Bear's
Speaker 6: just up the road about five eight minutes. It is
Speaker 6: the coolest place to go see live music.
Speaker 2: Is she on with us right now?
Speaker 5: Hi?
Speaker 2: Caris?
Speaker 5: Hey, how are you?
Speaker 2: Oh? Thanks for calling in.
Speaker 1: Thank gosh, we didn't have you drive into the studio.
Speaker 5: I probably wouldn't have. No, I'm sorry, but yeah.
Speaker 2: No, and it would have been a good call to
Speaker 2: stay off the road.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: So Caris is the owner and operator of the Bell
Speaker 1: and Bear and it's you know, they have the best
Speaker 1: live bands and it's just the coolest place.
Speaker 2: It's in Montgomery.
Speaker 1: But Kris, tell me how you came up with this
Speaker 1: the name for it, because I've heard a couple stories
Speaker 1: on that.
Speaker 5: So the Bell and the Bear is named after the
Speaker 5: bell as and like woman, you know, calling woman the
Speaker 5: bell and mister Bear is.
Speaker 7: My soul dog.
Speaker 5: So I named it after a woman.
Speaker 2: And her dog.
Speaker 5: So that's pretty much how it is.
Speaker 12: That's that's what the name.
Speaker 8: How the name came up.
Speaker 2: That's cute.
Speaker 1: That's like I'm a woman with a dog too, So
Speaker 1: I totally love that. Since you have owned it, I
Speaker 1: did a little background because I've met Harris, but you know,
Speaker 1: we don't know each other that well. And I did
Speaker 1: a little background on you and I read that you've
Speaker 1: raised over three hundred thousand dollars for various costes since
Speaker 1: you've owned The Bell and the Bear somewhere in twenty
Speaker 1: eighteen or something.
Speaker 2: How did you get the idea to.
Speaker 1: Add philanthropic work to your business, because I that's such
Speaker 1: a huge amount of money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a big amount.
Speaker 5: Of Actually, I think this year we actually I think
Speaker 5: we talked at it about after this year's Women Who
Speaker 5: Rock event, we talked out of just over four hundred thousand.
Speaker 5: Now for the time, I've just I always said if
Speaker 5: I was ever going to own a business or anything
Speaker 5: at all, I would be using that to help others.
Speaker 5: It's just something It's just never been a question in
Speaker 5: my mind. So if you have the ability and the
Speaker 5: means to help others in a space.
Speaker 7: Then.
Speaker 5: I just believe you should be doing it.
Speaker 13: And so that's what I've done.
Speaker 5: And I've always been an animal advocate since I could remember.
Speaker 5: So I was born in South Africa and raised in Canada,
Speaker 5: and since I was a teenager, I've always been mildly
Speaker 5: obsessed with animals. So I've just been in that world
Speaker 5: for a really long time.
Speaker 6: That's pretty awesome. Charis Christopher. By the way, she's the
Speaker 6: boss of Ellen Bear in Montgomery, and I'm.
Speaker 1: Just trying to see the guy behind the she's the one.
Speaker 6: She's the Bell since like four hundred k helping animal
Speaker 6: causes and other causes as well, which is just tremendous.
Speaker 6: So and we're constantly trying and I have since I
Speaker 6: started being able to utilize my work behind a microphone
Speaker 6: to get people engaged and involved. Having a business like
Speaker 6: yours should get live music, you get people coming in
Speaker 6: having a good time and celebrating and enjoying the holidays
Speaker 6: or whatever else. How is it that you were able
Speaker 6: to do so much with the help of the people
Speaker 6: who are you know, coming into your place as clients,
Speaker 6: customers having a good time, Because that in five years,
Speaker 6: six seven years, that's that's an incredible sum of money,
Speaker 6: most half a million. Yeah, that's massive. I feel like
Speaker 6: I'm not getting it done.
Speaker 2: We need to step up our games.
Speaker 5: I just think I think, I just think we have
Speaker 5: such an incredible community surrounding us. I think, like the
Speaker 5: Bell and the Bear is so much more, in my opinion,
Speaker 5: than just just like another bar or something like. I
Speaker 5: really thrive like on community and everybody, everybody that comes
Speaker 5: in there treats it as their home, and it's it's
Speaker 5: just it's so it's just everybody knows that you're coming
Speaker 5: to the Bell and the Bear like that, they know
Speaker 5: us for doing these great things.
Speaker 8: And I made sure.
Speaker 5: That that's what we're what we're about, because that's what's
Speaker 5: most important to me. And we just have such a
Speaker 5: huge community following that it just it's just kind of
Speaker 5: just grown into its own.
Speaker 13: Thing, and I love it for that.
Speaker 1: I attended one of the it was a Sunday afternoon
Speaker 1: I've never seen. It was so packed in there, and
Speaker 1: you had probably, I don't know, eight or nine bands,
Speaker 1: and it was all for dog rescue, and of course
Speaker 1: everybody donated and you could buy tickets to win stuff,
Speaker 1: and it was it was such an unbelievable event, and
Speaker 1: it seemed like everybody knew everybody, and everybody was there
Speaker 1: for the cause.
Speaker 2: It was such a it was so cool.
Speaker 1: Being a dog lover myself, I how many dogs have
Speaker 1: you had it once?
Speaker 2: At one time?
Speaker 12: I had.
Speaker 5: I've had six of my own while fostering one.
Speaker 1: So seven total, wow lot, I had three three three total,
Speaker 1: and that's a lot in an apartment in Los Angeles
Speaker 1: on the floor.
Speaker 2: That's what I did. Sterling. Sterling is also a very
Speaker 2: big dog.
Speaker 6: Lover, and I don't know how many in mass at
Speaker 6: one time other than like a mother dog with puppies,
Speaker 6: which you know, but I tend to try to move
Speaker 6: them on because if they stay too long, then it
Speaker 6: just adds to the menagerie.
Speaker 4: There's cats, there's dog.
Speaker 6: There's turtle, which I've had since I was eight years old,
Speaker 6: so into she will likely outlive us because turtles do
Speaker 6: that and they're like a dinosaur country, right, which is
Speaker 6: kind of nice. I'm just kind of curious what's the
Speaker 6: next event because we're short on time, and you know,
Speaker 6: the bell and a bear just down the road to Montgomery.
Speaker 6: In doing what you do, I think a lot of
Speaker 6: people close by. It sounds like it's just sort of
Speaker 6: a community, family kind of vibe where people just sort
Speaker 6: of come around and do those things.
Speaker 4: But people might want to show up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean, as an beg, we have live
Speaker 5: music every weekend, every like Thursday, Friday, Saturday. But as
Speaker 5: in charity events, we usually do one animal one around
Speaker 5: February and March, and then every October we do our
Speaker 5: Big Women Who Wrock for Women Helping Women. That event
Speaker 5: that's where we've raised some serious money for. So either way,
Speaker 5: there's always great live music. Whether it's a big charity
Speaker 5: event or just the weekend we're just it's a great
Speaker 5: party and a great bot.
Speaker 1: Can I answer Karis one more thing, like what advice
Speaker 1: would you give because maybe somebody hasn't because I think
Speaker 1: giving service and doing you know, making a community and
Speaker 1: helping others is such a big part of why I
Speaker 1: feel happy all the.
Speaker 2: Time and why it's a big part of my life.
Speaker 1: What advice would you give to somebody who's never gotten
Speaker 1: into doing this but wants to.
Speaker 5: Just do it. Just ask the questions to see what
Speaker 5: part of it is right for you. You don't have
Speaker 5: to foster, because I know that that sometimes that's difficult.
Speaker 5: You don't have to adopt, You don't have to go
Speaker 5: out and raise all this money. You could just go
Speaker 5: and volunteer for a day. You could just go and
Speaker 5: walk a dog for a day. I mean, that's like
Speaker 5: fostering can be a day trip. It can be a
Speaker 5: walk around the block. But just ask questions and see
Speaker 5: what it is, whether it's with dogs, with uh, you know,
Speaker 5: with whatever it is, whatever your.
Speaker 6: Women women women women to my house. Many times I
Speaker 6: have yeah, yeah, advocation. I like to help the women.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 11: I do.
Speaker 1: Well. I'm going to bring Sterling next time because he
Speaker 1: has not been to the Bellan Bear.
Speaker 14: Well.
Speaker 4: No, but and here's what I want to know.
Speaker 6: We need to go on a Bloody Mary Sunday because
Speaker 6: this looks.
Speaker 1: Doesn't know how how much your your place, rock scaris.
Speaker 1: I love the Bellan Bear. I'm in there twenty times
Speaker 1: at least.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 6: What I can tell you is I spent before I
Speaker 6: came to Cincinnati. I mean I was Ohio guy and
Speaker 6: had to leave to go to work in New Orleans
Speaker 6: before coming back to Cincinnati again. And I got used
Speaker 6: to and spoiled to some Bloody Mary's and good food
Speaker 6: on Sunday.
Speaker 2: It on a Sunday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me tell you it looks ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Look at that.
Speaker 5: Thank so our bartender on Sunday. She actually just came
Speaker 5: out with her on line Bloody Mary Max.
Speaker 7: It's phenomenal.
Speaker 5: It's the queen. Queen's the elixir. It is so good.

Speaker 6: just up the road here.

Speaker 6: but we appreciate you staying safe and not showing up

Speaker 6: You're seven o'clock report.
Speaker 4: Coming up.
Speaker 6: On the other side of that, James Rapine, we'll talk
Speaker 6: on Bengals and Ravens in town for the extreme cold.
Speaker 6: And I want to know who's cleaning up Paycore with
Speaker 6: the snow that is piling up, because we know.
Speaker 4: O Dott handling whatever it is.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, we certainly know that Cincinnati is hitting
Speaker 6: it hard and all the other trucks that are out there,
Speaker 6: so just be careful wherever you're going. An update on
Speaker 6: traffic issues. Seventy one shut down last week. Check looking
Speaker 6: at Ogo. You know, we'll find out with Jack Crumbley
Speaker 6: how that's looking. It was shut down coming up towards
Speaker 6: that that hill ken Wood headed our way actually towards
Speaker 6: Montgomery Road and all that, so we'll see exactly how
Speaker 6: bad that is. Southbound was slow to just allow extra time,
Speaker 6: little extra space and if you don't have to go out,
Speaker 6: obviously will sound like a broke records.
Speaker 1: Stay home or get home right now exactly and just safely, safely, safely.
Speaker 6: There you go it Just Saturday Sterling and Donna de
Speaker 6: hanging out on the other side. We'll talk who day
Speaker 6: on seven hundred wlw AH here we are snow is following,
Speaker 6: the cold is here. It's a winter storm warning till
Speaker 6: seven am tomorrow. Sterling and Donna d helping get you
Speaker 6: where you're going, which should be safe and sound, allowing
Speaker 6: extra time and space between you and whatever is in
Speaker 6: front of you, and hopefully people aren't tailgating you. That's
Speaker 6: what I saw a lot coming in, Donna. A lot
Speaker 6: of people ride in my backside, and I'm not a fan.
Speaker 6: I'm just saying I'm not a fan of that. So
Speaker 6: I don't like the back end play get away.
Speaker 1: I don't like anybody tailing me that much either, And
Speaker 1: to be honest, I am five minutes away and I
Speaker 1: was fish tailing it. We're talking tail over here.
Speaker 6: It took me two hours to get here effectively, and
Speaker 6: more than that actually, And I love Donna's like five
Speaker 6: minutes normally, and she's like, I don't know.
Speaker 2: If I'm gonna make it.
Speaker 6: I'm like, I've been in the horror for an hour
Speaker 6: and forty five minutes.
Speaker 4: If you can't make it.
Speaker 1: I literally would have dressed for it and walked here.
Speaker 1: It would have taken on a good effort, but I
Speaker 1: would have done it. And I who knows I may
Speaker 1: have to tonight. You could have brought You may have
Speaker 1: to walk with me, go for to my house and
Speaker 1: we go to the FBI building right there. I'm sure
Speaker 1: there's some facilities.
Speaker 6: As long as there's no cavity check, I'm fine, and
Speaker 6: there's a hotel right there will be okay exactly.
Speaker 4: Or we'll just just keep doing show. We could do
Speaker 4: that all.
Speaker 6: Night long, all night Longe like Lionel Richie, he's still alive.
Speaker 6: You know who's not gonna do it all night long?
Speaker 6: He's like I did not sign up for. That is
Speaker 6: James Rapine. He's everywhere. He's a madman. He knows what
Speaker 6: is up and kind enough to join us of course.
Speaker 6: Locked on Bengals Cincinnati Bengals Talk on the YouTube with
Speaker 6: Stirling and Donnade.
Speaker 4: James Rapine, how are you.
Speaker 7: I'm doing well. I'm doing well. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Done well because he didn't have to drive into work.
Speaker 2: That's the number one. What about that tomorrow? The cold
Speaker 2: and the snow tomorrow?
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, well I have to drive tomorrow and there's
Speaker 14: no I can't say missing the football.
Speaker 7: Game because of the weather. So yeah, yeah, well we'll
Speaker 7: make it happen.
Speaker 6: What will be doing because we always talk about the
Speaker 6: Freezer Bowl and all the you know, the you know
Speaker 6: the you could walk across the Ohio and we were
Speaker 6: children or even some of us before we hatch and
Speaker 6: they're like.
Speaker 4: That's what real men play football and all that other stuff.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I mean tomorrow it's going to be maybe
Speaker 6: if it's lucky ten twelve degrees and there's gonna be
Speaker 6: a lot of snow and that turf, however nice it is,
Speaker 6: it's gonna hurt when a three hundred pound man hits
Speaker 6: you at thirty miles an hour, will it not?
Speaker 7: No doubt? Yeah, I think so, And I think Joe
Speaker 7: Burrow this week.
Speaker 14: He was like, oh, yeah, the cold doesn't matter as
Speaker 14: long as there isn't a lot of snow and hopefully
Speaker 14: they can clean up the field and get that part
Speaker 14: of its clear now so it.
Speaker 7: Doesn't impact the game at all.
Speaker 14: But that cold is going to matter because the fold
Speaker 14: tomorrow is really cold, and I know the Bengals wide receiver,
Speaker 14: specifically Jamar Chase, is someone that doesn't necessarily love the cold.
Speaker 14: So yeah, it's uh, it's going to be a factor
Speaker 14: for sure. The Bengals have historically played pretty well in
Speaker 14: the cold. But yeah, it's gonna be something that's on
Speaker 14: everyone's minds, including mine, And I'm gonna be in a
Speaker 14: a nice press box that yes, probably feel cold, but
Speaker 14: but but not as uh not as uh bad as
Speaker 14: being outside.
Speaker 1: Of course, James, we you you brought up Joe Burrow,
Speaker 1: so I have to talk to you about that, Like
Speaker 1: I know everybody has been talking about it. What are
Speaker 1: your thoughts on you know, his comment about you know,
Speaker 1: I've got to be happy. If I'm not happy, why
Speaker 1: am I doing it?
Speaker 14: I think it's fair, you know, I think it's fair
Speaker 14: in general and in Look when when you hear that
Speaker 14: from a star quarterback here naturally in a thing, especially
Speaker 14: given the Bengals history.
Speaker 7: Oh, he's unhappy in Cincinnati.
Speaker 14: He went out of Cincinnati, and national media did that,
Speaker 14: and a lot of people have on that. And look,
Speaker 14: Joe Burrow believes he's going to kick the crap out
Speaker 14: of the Ravens tomorrow, and then he believes that they're
Speaker 14: going to go to Miami and kick the crap out
Speaker 14: of the Dolphins and then beat the Cardinals and beat
Speaker 14: the Browns. And so guess what he thought last week
Speaker 14: that they were going to go to Buffalo in the cold,
Speaker 14: and what Buffalo And he played great for ninety eight
Speaker 14: percent of that game, And had they won that game,
Speaker 14: we would be having a different discussion when it comes
Speaker 14: to the bengals potential fate this year.
Speaker 7: So I think part of.
Speaker 14: It is just the realization of everything he did to
Speaker 14: get back and he's three and one as a starter
Speaker 14: this year, and it's probably not going to be enough.
Speaker 14: If he gets to seven and one, if they win
Speaker 14: the next four, they still only have roughly a one
Speaker 14: in four chance, a twenty seven percent chance to make
Speaker 14: the postseason. And so I think that's a big part
Speaker 14: of it is winning this fun. Making the playoffs are fun,
Speaker 14: Playing on the biggest stage. That's fun for Joe. And
Speaker 14: when you know that that's ending essentially at the beginning
Speaker 14: of December, that's not why he works year round. That's
Speaker 14: not what he works year around to do. And I
Speaker 14: think that's a big part of what he was talking
Speaker 14: about there.
Speaker 6: You know, it'd be nice if the Bengals were playing
Speaker 6: Miami tomorrow here because those kids from the Florida in
Speaker 6: Miami wouldn't understand the cold coming from Baltimore, wouldn't not
Speaker 6: at all it would be nice instead of it being
Speaker 6: verbs from a Baltimore in Charms City. A lot of
Speaker 6: people are like, well, Joe Burrow might walk away, he
Speaker 6: might quit, he doesn't need the money, this, that and
Speaker 6: the other thing. I mean, he has an interrastional obligation
Speaker 6: and he you know what, at least he was upfront
Speaker 6: and open talking about the fact that he's a little
Speaker 6: bit disillusioned dissatisfied with the circumstance. James Roupeene, I mean,
Speaker 6: who wouldn't be in this case? Fans are and if
Speaker 6: you're playing coming back from injury like a superhuman or otherwise,
Speaker 6: you want to win, you expect to win.
Speaker 4: You've been the best.
Speaker 6: If you're happy and satisfied with this and okay with
Speaker 6: this type of the thing being the status quo, then
Speaker 6: I would have a bigger problem with that than him
Speaker 6: personally saying that he's not really happy about the way
Speaker 6: things are going or an my crazy.
Speaker 14: No, you're not basy, You're right, you're spot on. He
Speaker 14: shouldn't be happy. Who's happy right now?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 14: I don't think anyone in that building should be happy
Speaker 14: because they're in all likelihood going to miss the class
Speaker 14: for a third straight.
Speaker 7: Year in the middle of Joe Burrow's prime.
Speaker 14: And the reason why the NFL world has been talking
Speaker 14: about Joe Burrows because they know how.
Speaker 7: Special he is.
Speaker 14: It's and so when you have someone like him, you
Speaker 14: have to put yourself in position to win every single
Speaker 14: year and take advantage.
Speaker 7: Of that opportunity.
Speaker 14: And that doesn't mean he's perfect, that doesn't mean he's
Speaker 14: not going to make mistakes, doesn't mean he's not.
Speaker 7: Flawed, doesn't matter.
Speaker 14: He's one of the best, what for at what he
Speaker 14: does on the planet, maybe even higher than that.
Speaker 7: But I was trying to be as conservative as possible.
Speaker 7: So that's it.
Speaker 14: And so yeah, this Bengals organization, I do think they
Speaker 14: want to win, like I think ownership wants to win.
Speaker 14: But they need to understand and this is coming from
Speaker 14: some when that wrote a book and looked at the
Speaker 14: history of the Cincinnati Bengals in depth.
Speaker 7: Every single season.
Speaker 14: They have a unique opportunity with Joe Burrow at quarterback,
Speaker 14: and so putting themselves in position to maximize each and
Speaker 14: every year you have with him is what they should do.
Speaker 14: They haven't necessarily done that. It doesn't mean that they've
Speaker 14: whipped on everything. I think they've made good some good moves.
Speaker 14: I think they've also failed in other areas and they
Speaker 14: need to be better moving forward, because there's no scenario
Speaker 14: where you should have a Joe Burrow and a Jamar
Speaker 14: Chase on your roster and go three years without making
Speaker 14: the playoffs.
Speaker 7: That just can't happen.
Speaker 6: Talking to James Rapine about the Bengals in action tomorrow
Speaker 6: in the snow in the cold, I think the snow
Speaker 6: should end. There may be some residual snow in and
Speaker 6: around Paycorp, and any tailgating in the cold. Obviously tailgating
Speaker 6: maybe hindered just a little bit, to say the least.
Speaker 6: When you look at these Ravens and it's always a
Speaker 6: tough matchup, but the Bengals have fared well with them generally.
Speaker 6: What is this matchup looking like for you? Because obviously
Speaker 6: the Ravens are playing for something whereas the Bengals are trying.
Speaker 6: But really they can basically are almost like spoilers, aren't they?
Speaker 14: Yeah, they are, And I think that's the beauty of
Speaker 14: tomorrow is one when you still keep your sling chances
Speaker 14: alive and if you lose, well you don't. And the
Speaker 14: Ravens have a pretty decent chance of making a run,
Speaker 14: and so you want to prevent them from doing that,
Speaker 14: and so how can you do that? Well, first things first,
Speaker 14: it's cold, and what have we see in the cold
Speaker 14: last week?
Speaker 7: Well, Buffalo really wanted to run the.
Speaker 14: Ball, and they did run the ball with that quarterback
Speaker 14: in Josh Allen, who I think is has surpassed Lamar
Speaker 14: is the best running quarterback in the league, just because
Speaker 14: he's so gifted and so big and so strong. And
Speaker 14: so you have to find a way to make sure
Speaker 14: Lamar Jackson does not do Lamar Jackson things to you
Speaker 14: as a passer and or a runner. And the other
Speaker 14: element there is obviously Derek Henry. I think a big
Speaker 14: thing the Ravens did on Thanksgiving that they shouldn't have
Speaker 14: done is they got away from utilizing their star running back.
Speaker 14: And if I'm the Ravens, it's a lot of Lamar,
Speaker 14: it's a lot.
Speaker 7: Of Derrick Henry.
Speaker 14: Let those guys try to try to attack this Bengals defense.
Speaker 14: That is obviously they've had.
Speaker 7: Some decent moments in the past couple.
Speaker 14: Of weeks, but obviously it can be beaten through the
Speaker 14: air when you're targeting tight ends, and certainly beaten on
Speaker 14: the ground if you're a quarterback or running back. So
Speaker 14: those are some of the things in the cold weather
Speaker 14: that challenges that this Bengals defense is going to have
Speaker 14: to deal with for sure.
Speaker 6: That's James Rapine talking Bengals Ravens locked on Bengals Cincinnati
Speaker 6: Bengals Talk on YouTube. Bengals actually in AFC North matchups
Speaker 6: or I think that what four and one so far
Speaker 6: in this campaign this season, they are looking to put
Speaker 6: away the Ravens for this season tomorrow. That's difficult in
Speaker 6: the best of times, just because of the matchup that
Speaker 6: it is. We've seen Chase Brown show himself to be
Speaker 6: after a year or so where people like.
Speaker 4: I don't know about Jake Ry, I don't make it ready.
Speaker 4: He's a guy. He's a guy.
Speaker 6: What a runner has he proven to be and in
Speaker 6: some cases helping us to add a nice balance to
Speaker 6: that throwing game. But also, I mean he's carried this
Speaker 6: team to a certain extent.
Speaker 14: He's a huge factor for sure, and I think part
Speaker 14: of why they ended the game last week the way
Speaker 14: they did is he struggled a little bit in the snow.
Speaker 14: I mean he had six straight games of one hundred
Speaker 14: plus yards from scrimmage going into last week, and that's
Speaker 14: a team record. To your point, Sterling, he has seven
Speaker 14: hundred and twenty seven rushing yards, averaging four point two
Speaker 14: yards to carry, performing at a really high level. And
Speaker 14: as a receiver he's been great. He's got fifty one catches,
Speaker 14: two hundred and ninety nine yards, two touchdowns. So you
Speaker 14: need him to be a huge factor tomorrow. And I
Speaker 14: assume it was the snow last week. He just didn't
Speaker 14: look decisive, he didn't look explosive. I talked to Jamar
Speaker 14: Chase about this on Wednesday, and then he talked about
Speaker 14: it a little bit on Thursday in front of the media.
Speaker 7: Is it was hard to get your.
Speaker 14: Footing, and so what I mentioned getting the snow cleared
Speaker 14: off the field, I think that's a big factor. When
Speaker 14: you go to cut, you go to stop and start
Speaker 14: do all of the things that a Jamar Chase or
Speaker 14: a Chase Brown that they tend to do.
Speaker 7: And I agree with you.
Speaker 14: I think it's when the weather is like this, you're
Speaker 14: not going to be able to throw it deep thirteen
Speaker 14: times and do all of that. You're going to have
Speaker 14: to lean on the run game. You're going to have
Speaker 14: to lean on guys that can make players miss and
Speaker 14: turn small passes into big games, and Chase Brown is
Speaker 14: certainly someone.
Speaker 7: Capable of doing that.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm just curious with the clean up tomorrow,
Speaker 6: do we know who's doing that in the stadium, because
Speaker 6: I remember the call out in years past, like hey
Speaker 6: we need people on a cop clean this same idea.
Speaker 6: I just wondered who how that works idea? Yeah, that's
Speaker 6: sort of like an odd thing. I think Donna wanted
Speaker 6: to go. I thought we could send.
Speaker 4: In your job.
Speaker 2: That's wrong to be me either, James.
Speaker 6: I totally get that. What what should we ask here?
Speaker 6: I mean, at this point, the Ravens are a slight favorite.
Speaker 6: There's still just six and seven. Bengals are four and nine,
Speaker 6: and this would be really a conversation of much more
Speaker 6: misery in some fashion if it wasn't the fact that
Speaker 6: the AFC North has turned into I don't even know what.
Speaker 7: Well, that's.
Speaker 14: That's how I think Joe Burrow probably looked at the
Speaker 14: entire AFC and it's like we would be at the
Speaker 14: top or near it if I was playing all year
Speaker 14: and Proof has ended up putting last week they went
Speaker 14: into Buffalo and gave Buffalo all they can handle, and
Speaker 14: Buffalo will be near the top of the AFC if
Speaker 14: they handle business against the Patriots this week. I think
Speaker 14: the Burrough led Bengals beat the Patriots a few weeks
Speaker 14: ago at pay Court if Burrow had returned then, which
Speaker 14: we talked about Sterling before that game.
Speaker 7: How I thought it was a mistake at the time.
Speaker 14: So I think that's part of Burrow's frustration too, as
Speaker 14: he looks at this AFC North and the AFC and
Speaker 14: he's like, what.
Speaker 7: The hell, man like this is?
Speaker 14: It's wide open, and with the injury and everything, we
Speaker 14: could have overcome this, and instead, odds are we're going
Speaker 14: to be on the outside looking in. And that's just
Speaker 14: the heck of a spot to be and really the
Speaker 14: thing to blame. You can't go one in eight without
Speaker 14: Joe Burrow, as good as he is. You have to
Speaker 14: be able to hold the fort down a little bit,
Speaker 14: and they didn't. And when you do that, even if
Speaker 14: the division is open, and you're right, it is crappy
Speaker 14: record wise this year. But if the Bengals beat the
Speaker 14: Ravens tomorrow, then the Steelers really are in the driver's
Speaker 14: seat and all eyes will look to that Monday night
Speaker 14: game against the Dolphins where the Bengals play the Dolphins
Speaker 14: next week. But if they win tomorrow, you become Dolphins
Speaker 14: fans for twenty four hours and see if they can
Speaker 14: handle business against the Steelers. If that happens, then I
Speaker 14: do think that people are going to start using that
Speaker 14: playoff word again a bit here in Cincinnati.
Speaker 4: I like the way that sounds. What do we not ask?
Speaker 6: I always oppose that to you because I just know
Speaker 6: that you're in and around the stadium, You're in and
Speaker 6: around those lockers, you're in around these guys, and you
Speaker 6: study the game and a little bit more. You know,
Speaker 6: obviously this is what you do. This is just my fixation.
Speaker 6: And I tried, you know, I like so many I
Speaker 6: was born a Bengals fan. I tried not to be,
Speaker 6: and then they just pull you back in and emotionally
Speaker 6: charge and here we are.
Speaker 4: So what do you have?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Anything?
Speaker 7: I think, well, yeah, no, I do.
Speaker 14: I think the T Higgins being out, which somehow the
Speaker 14: Baltimore Ravens always get lucky.
Speaker 7: And don't have to be deal with T Higgins.
Speaker 6: It's really just weird and true, isn't that? That's how
Speaker 6: strange is now and why did they let him go
Speaker 6: back into that game that last one.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I mean, he looked I felt like I had a
Speaker 6: concussion watching his head hit the turf last week.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
Speaker 7: I digress.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'll shut up.
Speaker 7: No, you're good. He cleared protocol. And so that's what's
Speaker 7: so tough is it's not like the coaches aren't watching
Speaker 7: the broadcast.
Speaker 14: One to the independent neurologists or whatever their exact title.
Speaker 7: Is, concussion expert is on the sideline.
Speaker 14: That does these and by independent, not NFL affiliated, and
Speaker 14: he passed. He passed it twice. First time they came
Speaker 14: up to him and said, hey, we need to test you.
Speaker 14: The second time he was like, hey, can you test me?
Speaker 14: And at least that's what I was told. And so yeah,
Speaker 14: I'm shocked one that he went back into How in
Speaker 14: the world did he make that one handed catch to
Speaker 14: keep them in it?
Speaker 7: I have no idea. That catch was just insane. And
Speaker 7: so the.
Speaker 14: Ravens don't have to deal with him, which is a
Speaker 14: huge factor football wise. It is the right decision for
Speaker 14: him to not play, let him literally, let his brain
Speaker 14: heal unrest. And when it comes to this offense, you're
Speaker 14: going to need Mitch Tinsley, who didn't maximize his opportunities
Speaker 14: on Thanksgiving, You're going to need him to take advantage
Speaker 14: of those opportunities tomorrow. Mike Kasicki had a huge game
Speaker 14: a few days ago against the Bills. You need him
Speaker 14: to play like that again. Noah Fense, we haven't heard
Speaker 14: from him in a while.
Speaker 7: At tight end.
Speaker 14: Wouldn't be shocked if we see some big plays from
Speaker 14: Noah Fanse. So these guys are all going to have
Speaker 14: to step up now with a guy like t Higgins,
Speaker 14: because we know that this Bengals team old doesn't matter, now,
Speaker 14: doesn't matter. They're still going to throw the ball and
Speaker 14: so when they do, these guys are going to.
Speaker 7: Have to step up well.
Speaker 1: And James, I know that we're you know, we're not.
Speaker 1: Our record is not good, but every game has been
Speaker 1: so exciting this year. I mean, the Bengals have been
Speaker 1: in it like till the very end. So it's not
Speaker 1: like we're not, you know, we're just terrible and we're out.
Speaker 1: These games have been like nail bikers, especially the last
Speaker 1: one and on Thanksgiving, I mean we have so close
Speaker 1: to winning every single one of these is heartbreaking almost, no.
Speaker 7: It is.
Speaker 14: Yeah, they're two and four and one score games this year,
Speaker 14: and they've had a couple of other games that could
Speaker 14: have been one score games and they had a chance
Speaker 14: to get a stop. For example, in Green Bay, they're
Speaker 14: down six, third down and eight. If they get a stop,
Speaker 14: they get the ball back to Joe Flacco and who knows,
Speaker 14: maybe he's a hero at Lambeau.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 14: There's been a lot of those third and fifteen right
Speaker 14: the other day against Buffalo, and so yeah, that's the difference.
Speaker 14: And so assuming they don't make a playoff run here
Speaker 14: and we start to look to the offseason, that's what
Speaker 14: you got to think about when you think about free agency.
Speaker 7: And adding one more piece.
Speaker 14: I'm always i get made fun of in the Bengals
Speaker 14: media room because I'm the guy that always wants more.
Speaker 14: I want them to spend more. I want them to
Speaker 14: add more. I want more talent. And that's it, and
Speaker 14: that'should be it, because.
Speaker 7: You want to go get this guy.
Speaker 14: Yes, hell yes, because that more could be the one
Speaker 14: play that's right, the one player that changes it, and
Speaker 14: now it's suddenly you win in buffalo or suddenly you
Speaker 14: win this game or that game, and so yeah, I
Speaker 14: think that's that's something to keep in mind, how narrow
Speaker 14: these margins can be, and these games can be going down.
Speaker 2: To the wire.
Speaker 6: Joe Whidell's giving us the full stop sign, so we
Speaker 6: must because he's the boss, even if you didn't realize it.
Speaker 6: He's good watching, he's good listening. Cincinnati Bengals talk on YouTube.
Speaker 6: Blocked on Bengals James Rapine, thank you, enjoy the warm
Speaker 6: toasty press box and in good eats and hopefully of
Speaker 6: Bengals win. Ravens Angles getting it on one o'clock pay
Speaker 6: Corp tomorrow here on the Big One. It'll be a
Speaker 6: ballmy fourteen degrees as forecasted at kickoff. So bundle up, people,
Speaker 6: thank you, James.
Speaker 7: Bundle up. I don't even know what I'm gonna wear tomorrow.
Speaker 7: I'll figure it out.
Speaker 2: Layers.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Donna can help. We all need animals for grown ups.
Speaker 6: Maybe your animals for grown ups. James, take care of yourself. Man,
Speaker 6: we'll talk to you soon. That is that an obscure
Speaker 6: reference for animals?
Speaker 2: No, I remember it, but we're the same close.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's true, all right, we're behind.
Speaker 6: What else, like, come on, come on, Crumbley's got new
Speaker 6: straight away, the latest on the snow of the traffic.
Speaker 6: It's a deep out there. How deep will it get? Sterling?
Speaker 6: Donna D seven hundred WLW Sterling at Donnade hanging out
Speaker 6: on a old, blustery, snow filled Saturday leading up to
Speaker 6: Christmas time and Hanukkah and Kwanza whatever else it is
Speaker 6: U the winter storm warning in effect until seven tomorrow morning.
Speaker 6: The heavy snow in many cases they were saying four
Speaker 6: to six inches. Donna was saying, your place, you think
Speaker 6: you got actually more than that, and that's been a
Speaker 6: couple hours ago already.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1: I mean I shoveled out twice because I didn't want
Speaker 1: it to be so bad, And honestly, I think you
Speaker 1: know it was four inches each, So I think we
Speaker 1: had eight inches down the street in camp and ken
Speaker 1: ken Wood.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I cleaned off once and then just
Speaker 6: made my way in and just allowing extra time in
Speaker 6: space between you and the vehicle in front of you.
Speaker 6: And if you don't have to go out, they say,
Speaker 6: probably shouldn't. And I can tell you there were a
Speaker 6: whole lot of people who did not pay attention to it,
Speaker 6: or were traveling and didn't know, or something I don't know,
Speaker 6: but either way, hopefully you're okay wherever you are. We'll
Speaker 6: keep you on top of another checking news in about
Speaker 6: nineteen minutes on that and an earful from O dot
Speaker 6: Cincinnati two will check in with them and see how
Speaker 6: that going a bit later as well. In the midst
Speaker 6: of everything and everywhere you go, if you're out a
Speaker 6: holiday shopping, even if you're out someplace having a drink
Speaker 6: or dinner, or even in a classroom. If you're an
Speaker 6: educator at this point, I mean, you know as well
Speaker 6: as I that our devices in hand or elsewhere, on
Speaker 6: risk or what have you are constantly being used, oftentimes
Speaker 6: in places and circumstances where it's probably not the most appropriate,
Speaker 6: where maybe being present might be the case. You hear
Speaker 6: all these stories about social media and young people, even
Speaker 6: grown ups in some cases, with AI sort of pushing
Speaker 6: people to the edge with their affirmative just keep paying
Speaker 6: attention and asking questions, We'll support you and then causing
Speaker 6: people emotional distress on top of the trolls that are
Speaker 6: already out there and everything else. It's a challenge for
Speaker 6: the most mentally stable and well put together people, but
Speaker 6: kids are not always that developed. I mean, I can
Speaker 6: remember back before social media and cell phones, there was
Speaker 6: a lot of anxiety and stress about you know, fitting
Speaker 6: in or not fitting in, and all the other bullying
Speaker 6: and stuff that might be going on now is to
Speaker 6: another level where kids can't get away from it. Australia
Speaker 6: which has been in the news in the last couple
Speaker 6: of weeks with their new law and rules in place
Speaker 6: for under sixteen year olds to have no access to
Speaker 6: a lot of social media sites, not necessarily gaming sites,
Speaker 6: which there's a lot of hate going on on gaming sites,
Speaker 6: by the way.
Speaker 1: I can imagine not on any but I can imagine
Speaker 1: the hate on gaming when it's competitive.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it gets pretty belligerent to use a
Speaker 6: term that chick Ludwig is embraced pretty seriously and it
Speaker 6: gets kind of nasty. So what I'm curious about, because
Speaker 6: what the reports out of Australia has been is that
Speaker 6: parents are happy, kids are not happy, and kids are
Speaker 6: finding their way around some of this in many cases
Speaker 6: just by basically going in and when you sign up
Speaker 6: you put in your day of birth or somewhere in
Speaker 6: that general vicinity, and they just go in and make
Speaker 6: it so that they look to be sixteen or older.
Speaker 6: So they're circumventing the whole effort here. One do you
Speaker 6: think you could stay off social media?
Speaker 7: Two?
Speaker 4: Do you want to get your kids off of it?
Speaker 4: Have you tried?
Speaker 6: I'm curious what that's like in a situation where you're
Speaker 6: trying to get the kids off of that device and
Speaker 6: to be in amongst the living, breathing people in person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they're really banning in Australia. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's a bad idea, to be honest. The teens that
Speaker 1: are basically their favorite Snapchat, TikTok and Instagram, and yeah,
Speaker 1: if their date of birth is you know, makes them
Speaker 1: sixteen or under actually under sixteen, then they're not allowed
Speaker 1: to log in. But these obviously it doesn't take a
Speaker 1: ton of being smart or genius to fix that date.
Speaker 1: Put an AI picture in that makes you look older,
Speaker 1: and all these you know, teens are back, fourteen year
Speaker 1: olds are back on. But it's it's almost like, why
Speaker 1: would you want to be on and pretend you're somebody
Speaker 1: else and use a different picture? Is it just so
Speaker 1: you can doom scroll and see what else everybody else
Speaker 1: is doing.
Speaker 2: I mean, what is the point of that?
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I think there's a lot of it. I
Speaker 6: mean there's doom scrolling. There's probably just the social aspect
Speaker 6: of missing out on what friends and other people are doing,
Speaker 6: whether it's influencers or actual you know, what people think
Speaker 6: to be their friends, even though they may not be
Speaker 6: could be around the world. And the concern, of course
Speaker 6: is sexual predators and traffickers and all the other stuff.
Speaker 4: And it's kind of a weird animal.
Speaker 6: I can remember when it was like, you can't use
Speaker 6: the phone or you're not supposed to watch TV after
Speaker 6: a certain time, and that was difficult to process and navigate.
Speaker 6: What do you mean I I can't it's Monday night football.
Speaker 2: What do you mean I got a panel hooked. I'm
Speaker 2: already hooked at TV?
Speaker 6: How even turn the game off? I'll get up, I
Speaker 6: promise up. Turn the game off. No, don't turn the
Speaker 6: game of. And that wasn't a device that I could
Speaker 6: have in my room where I could continue to have,
Speaker 6: of course chat or something along those line.
Speaker 1: I mean everything you have everything on that little box
Speaker 1: in that computer in your pocket, and it's it's it's
Speaker 1: absolutely addicting. But they are doing studies now, like a
Speaker 1: lot of the universities and a lot of independent studies
Speaker 1: on how people get off of social media, like they're
Speaker 1: doing seven week studies of no social media and people's
Speaker 1: levels of happiness increased by a ton. I don't have
Speaker 1: the percentages because I can't find that study. I was
Speaker 1: looking for it, but it is.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: Uh, it's remarkable how happy people are starting to feel
Speaker 1: when they're off of social media. And now I think
Speaker 1: there are some really good things on social media. You
Speaker 1: keep up with your family and friends. There's lots of
Speaker 1: inspiring stuff depending on what you're looking at and the algorithms.
Speaker 1: But I really feel like, you know, for the most part,
Speaker 1: especially for kids whose brains have not really developed, that
Speaker 1: it's probably a good thing to get them off.
Speaker 6: Yeah, five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven, eight hundred,
Speaker 6: the big one. You can talk back the iHeartRadio. I
Speaker 6: have clicked that mic, or if you're on X again,
Speaker 6: I said, not the party drug.
Speaker 4: What used to be Twitter? At Sterling Radio.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows what it is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6: Maybe we're social media at different times, different times, of course,
Speaker 6: everybody's aware at times. Perhaps also sterling dot donad Dot
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three on Instagram. So one, have you taken
Speaker 6: a break from and disconnected from media in general or
Speaker 6: social media be it Facebook or Twitter x, whatever it is,
Speaker 6: picking Instagram, whatever it happens to be that you're into
Speaker 6: or your kids, how do you navigate that? And coming
Speaker 6: into the holidays with so many new toys and gadgets
Speaker 6: and all the other gear upgrades this holiday season a
Speaker 6: lot of people Christmas time whatever. Uh, you know, it's
Speaker 6: time for new, bigger, better, And in the midst of
Speaker 6: all the prices and questions about you know, stuff going
Speaker 6: to be available or not can I get a deal?
Speaker 4: People are buying what they can buy now.
Speaker 6: The question is how much do you watch and pay
Speaker 6: attention to what your kids are digesting?
Speaker 4: Do you pay.
Speaker 6: Attention I mean whether even if it's just watching or
Speaker 6: streaming stuff. I mean, my mom probably did her best
Speaker 6: in that. It was a different time, right, you know that.
Speaker 6: I mean then it was like skin imax. You know,
Speaker 6: it's like, you know, you're like, ooh, look at that,
Speaker 6: you know, that type of thing that was basically like
Speaker 6: the biggest thing that was going on.
Speaker 1: Though there's no as diligent as parents are. If you're
Speaker 1: child who's fourteen fifteen, who has a cell phone, which
Speaker 1: most of them do at this point.
Speaker 4: And they're born with the small device, Yeah.
Speaker 1: And honestly that's not too probably too far off. We
Speaker 1: are all so addicted to our cell phones. It's just
Speaker 1: is a real thing. And I'm trying to push my
Speaker 1: cell phone. I'm giving myself twenty five minutes here and
Speaker 1: not trying to take my cell phone in the other room.
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to walk with your cell phone. You're
Speaker 1: not supposed to carry it from room to room, try
Speaker 1: and leave it somewhere. But when you're addicted to social
Speaker 1: media and you're scrolling in two hours, three hours go by,
Speaker 1: you only have a thousand minutes in a day. And
Speaker 1: if you're spending so much time on social media, what
Speaker 1: are you doing productively. I've really been paying attention to
Speaker 1: it myself. I've unplugged and I regularly do what you complained.
Speaker 1: He's like, well, you took so long to get back
Speaker 1: in he here, You're.
Speaker 2: Gonna or you too.
Speaker 6: You're better at it than I. I've gotten better you are.
Speaker 6: I used to have a horrible time with it, and
Speaker 6: I don't know what exactly happened. At some point, I'm like,
Speaker 6: I've done what I need to do.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 6: There's the phone and it's on the desk, and I
Speaker 6: walk away, and then I head back and try to
Speaker 6: catch up, but it's difficult. So I'm wondering, have you
Speaker 6: gone cold Turkey? Have you tried this? Have other people
Speaker 6: have tried it? Because I've talked to others. Some are
Speaker 6: better than others. You know, what's interesting is that some
Speaker 6: of my friends who are into you know, programming, who
Speaker 6: are into technology, who that is their business, that is
Speaker 6: their life. You know, we went up through college with
Speaker 6: it or whatever. Some didn't even go They got around
Speaker 6: college and somehow got the skills and are out there,
Speaker 6: you know, making a living doing it. And they are
Speaker 6: seemingly the most capable of unplugging and the ones that
Speaker 6: actually say the scariest stuff about what's really out there
Speaker 6: that worries them. But and what I wonder, what the
Speaker 6: kids is If you keep a kid sheltered, if you
Speaker 6: keep a kid protected to a certain extent, they often
Speaker 6: sometimes act out. Even more so, so, where is that
Speaker 6: fine line that somebody has to find? I mean, I
Speaker 6: remember going out with the.
Speaker 2: Everybody else has a phone.
Speaker 1: Everybody else is on Facebook or Instagram and TikTok and
Speaker 1: I'm not allowed And I'm like, you know, the only one.
Speaker 1: I'm too sheltered. Yeah, I could see that being a
Speaker 1: problem to parents. Do not have it easy right now.
Speaker 1: That is a hard job right now with social media
Speaker 1: and the iPhone.
Speaker 4: I can't imagine what that's like.
Speaker 6: Kind of curious how you navigate those waters out about
Speaker 6: doing those type of things, or maybe people just sort
Speaker 6: of let it go and it'll be like thinning of
Speaker 6: the herd. It'll work it out, right, I mean, the
Speaker 6: strongest survived. It's really Darwinian in an effect, right, I
Speaker 6: mean kind of well, it.
Speaker 1: Is making our minds mushy, that's for sure. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, reading is it's like, you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: amazing for your brain and playing an instrument and getting
Speaker 1: outside in nature and all these things. And like if
Speaker 1: we're all on our phones and scrolling all the time
Speaker 1: and making our brains mush.
Speaker 6: I will make a confession. And you talked about not
Speaker 6: walking with your phone. I didn't know that that was
Speaker 6: something that they had been like out there and directed
Speaker 6: that people would be healthier with I would say it's
Speaker 6: a safety issue because in.
Speaker 2: Park garage not long of those totally.
Speaker 6: I'm trying to get back to people on text and
Speaker 6: meeting them, and I'm also trying to figure out where
Speaker 6: I had parked, looking for like goofy six and which
Speaker 6: level I'm on or whatever else. And I'm in the
Speaker 6: phone and I walked into one of the big concrete
Speaker 6: like supports and there's no there's cars driving around, and
Speaker 6: you know they're looking, dude, look at that right there.
Speaker 4: I was that guy.
Speaker 6: So it's also a physically a dangerous thing to be
Speaker 6: involved in your device while walking. It's not even about
Speaker 6: the social media like oh the Boogeyman's gonna get me,
Speaker 6: just the pillar supporting the gross.
Speaker 1: Fall right into a hall. There was a one I'll
Speaker 1: never forget on an Instagram post talking about social media.
Speaker 1: The guy was texting and he ran right into a bear.
Speaker 1: He was in California and a black bear was.
Speaker 2: In the street.
Speaker 1: And he looked up and was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: it was so funny what the bear don and ran
Speaker 1: and the bear was probably just as stunned at looking
Speaker 1: at what this human is doing.
Speaker 4: Aren't you supposed to make yourself look bigger and scary.
Speaker 2: Exactly. You're not afraid of me? What's going on?
Speaker 4: I'm a bear. You're supposed to be afraid, don't you
Speaker 4: know the rules? Yeah, that's unbelievable.
Speaker 6: How's the drive by the way where you are, wherever
Speaker 6: you are, if you can do it hands free, we'd
Speaker 6: love for you right now to let us know how
Speaker 6: the roads are, if you're safe and where you've been
Speaker 6: trying to get to, if you're stuck in traffic and waiting,
Speaker 6: hopefully allowing some extra distance, Please do it hands free.
Speaker 6: I don't want to feel like I'm somehow or the donna.
Speaker 6: I can put the blame on you. Uh, it would
Speaker 6: be responsible for somebody getting into a bad situation with
Speaker 6: checking in.
Speaker 1: But listen, it's the roads are terrible. We've all been
Speaker 1: what was the word show used? We were like, how
Speaker 1: is terrifying?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It was terras The drive in Joe terrifying. It's not.
Speaker 2: It's not an easy drive.
Speaker 1: It's slushy, it's a lot of stuff on not of
Speaker 1: sleet and mud and snow on the ground. Just go
Speaker 1: as slow as you can if you're out there, and
Speaker 1: if you can go home, get home.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's pretty simple there five point three seven four
Speaker 6: nine seven eight hundred, the big one. You can talk
Speaker 6: back on the iHeartRadio app. Hopefully you're safe wherever you're going.
Speaker 6: Winter store morning in effect till seven am tomorrow. Still
Speaker 6: more snow expected expected. I know English, I can talk
Speaker 6: it sometimes. Uh, expectation and total accumulation they say four
Speaker 6: to six inches, Donna says, she you thinks she's got
Speaker 6: a little bit more of her cris not the weather
Speaker 6: you didn't have like a measure was.
Speaker 1: But I did plow, I did snow, you know, move
Speaker 1: the snow shovel that's the word I'm looking for. Shovel
Speaker 1: the snow twice and I you know, it was pretty
Speaker 1: good accumulation.
Speaker 4: Yeah. And here's the other thing.
Speaker 6: And this is if you live in like a tight
Speaker 6: neighborhood as far as like small streets. And there's a
Speaker 6: lot of old neighborhoods in around my state right northern
Speaker 6: Kentucky here and around Cincinnati. Uh, you know, people parking
Speaker 6: on the street sometimes they asked you to get off.
Speaker 6: When I lived over by Eden Park, it was always
Speaker 6: and I had a super big hill up to the
Speaker 6: drive and the drive to get in the house, so
Speaker 6: it was always the do I no, snow's coming? Do
Speaker 6: I park on the street? Do I and take a
Speaker 6: chance on somebody dinging me or the you know, the
Speaker 6: plow grabbing it or what have you. So just it's difficult.
Speaker 6: I would imagine on a plow driving it. It would
Speaker 6: probably be a little nerve wracking driving through some of
Speaker 6: these neighborhoods.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we talked with is it Kathleen from
Speaker 1: UH today? These guys are going to be out working
Speaker 1: all night long, all night long, and they're going to be,
Speaker 1: you know, plowing the streets and putting salt on there
Speaker 1: and but yeah, she doesn't know what they do, but
Speaker 1: they do a lot. I saw there were two twice.
Speaker 1: They went down my street twice since noon today.
Speaker 4: They're hitting it. They're getting it done.
Speaker 6: You know what they're doing dank coffee and hopefully eating
Speaker 6: donuts and people not crowding the plow. I mean, it
Speaker 6: seems like an ideal job to me, trying to make
Speaker 6: sense of it. You're eight o'clock reports straight away the
Speaker 6: latest on the situation on the roads and the weather,
Speaker 6: and also that shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island,
Speaker 6: which sounds.
Speaker 2: My suspects still at large. We heard not.
Speaker 6: A good situation new Straightaway. More Sterling and Donna d
Speaker 6: where the hood play basketball. Bear gats dropped one today
Speaker 6: to those Georgia Birdogs in Atlanta, and the Bengals look
Speaker 6: to beat the Ravens tomorrow one o'clock kickoff on the
Speaker 6: Home of the Best Bengals coverage seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati.
Speaker 4: Here we are.
Speaker 6: Fine Saturday nights, Sterling in Donnade, hanging out. A winter
Speaker 6: storm morning in effect till seven tomorrow morning. More snow
Speaker 6: expected to fall. It comes in waves. It was pretty
Speaker 6: thick for a while. Am I drive in It took
Speaker 6: a Normally it's less than an hour for me by far,
Speaker 6: and it was over two hours to get in today
Speaker 6: or tonight. And a ton of people They've been warning
Speaker 6: people to stay off the roads, but a lot of
Speaker 6: people doing some holiday shopping. And Donna, I really think
Speaker 6: a lot of this is about the power Ball. I
Speaker 6: could be wrong, yeah, I mean it is a billion dollars.
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know how much you got to
Speaker 6: have in your pocket to think about it. I mean
Speaker 6: it's a billion dollars. The estimated jackpot cash value right
Speaker 6: now four hundred and fifty seven point seven million dollars.
Speaker 6: Rather than taking the annuity, you get that lump sum
Speaker 6: payment and then the taxman says, I will take more.
Speaker 4: Please in that.
Speaker 6: So I'm wondering if you're staying in, you got to
Speaker 6: realize would.
Speaker 2: You venture out to get power Ball?
Speaker 6: And if you're already out there, I mean, why stopped
Speaker 6: to get a Powerball ticket? I mean, seriously, no, if
Speaker 6: you gotta be in it to win it, right and
Speaker 6: we I don't have a ticket, and you're here till midnight,
Speaker 6: I have more or less I think maybe here till midnight.
Speaker 2: Two.
Speaker 4: Yes, well we can't even get in it.
Speaker 1: No, we're out. We should have gotten them earlier. It
Speaker 1: should have been a little bit more proactive. But I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: we're joking about it. It is a level two in
Speaker 1: some areas on this on the road, so that means
Speaker 1: emergency only, So you know that doesn't I mean, I've
Speaker 1: played Powerball before.
Speaker 2: A ton of times.
Speaker 1: I've never won anything, so chances are against you anyway.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, statistically, you could get hit by lightning
Speaker 6: on the way to get a ticket, and then get
Speaker 6: a hit by lightning on the way after getting a ticket,
Speaker 6: and you'd shake it off and feel fine and go
Speaker 6: hey Sterling and donnide.
Speaker 4: It was great experience. I got hit by lightning twice.
Speaker 6: I think, I'm I think I feel lucky, and you
Speaker 6: probably have a better shot of that happening than actually
Speaker 6: hitting the billion dollars, which is the seventh largest jackpot
Speaker 6: apparently in his three here in the United States. When
Speaker 6: it comes to it, and I want to, I gotta
Speaker 6: look at these numbers for a second. Here I'm counting one, two, three,
Speaker 6: four by six two hundred and ninety two million, two hundred. No,
Speaker 6: wait a minute, that's not right. Two hundred ninety two billion,
Speaker 6: two hundred and one million, three hundred Is that right?
Speaker 2: What in the world the.
Speaker 4: Odds of winning the power.
Speaker 6: One in two hundred ninety two million, two hundred one thousand,
Speaker 6: three hundred thirty eight point zero, I think, is that right?
Speaker 6: I believe it sounds about right. It's got to be close.
Speaker 6: It's deep enough, right, it's I will tell.
Speaker 1: You you know, obviously, it's not easy to win. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've been in pools before. I've done everything that you
Speaker 1: can think of.
Speaker 4: None of the pools have ever won anything.
Speaker 1: We had a pool here, we had you know, maybe
Speaker 1: a dug four dollars or you know, something ridiculous like that.
Speaker 6: I think Matthew Harris and I split four dollars in
Speaker 6: our bunch at one Harris, you know, back.
Speaker 4: In the channels E days.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's great two bucks each, which I
Speaker 6: think was more less than we spent on the tickets.
Speaker 4: But I felt like that was a win.
Speaker 1: Well, an anytime you win anything is a win. Like
Speaker 1: if you're going for a billion, two bucks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you feel like you got violated in that case.
Speaker 6: Let's get to a million Jim with Sterling and Donnade
Speaker 6: on the Big One. So, first of all, how was
Speaker 6: the snow where you are? Have you dug out? Are
Speaker 6: you on the road, what is your circumstance? What's your
Speaker 6: twenty gym?
Speaker 12: Well, you guys are talking ane for the call, but
Speaker 12: you guys are talking about going down to get a
Speaker 12: lot of tickets. And I was going to go out
Speaker 12: and I went down to the driveway, which is like
Speaker 12: you know, three feet a slipped and cell. Oh so
Speaker 12: so I'm not gonna I'm not gonna.
Speaker 7: Go give a lot of kicks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's probably a good call.
Speaker 4: I understand.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you don't want to break a hip just getting
Speaker 6: to like to the end of the driveway. That's a
Speaker 6: bad spot, Jim, I understand. We don't want that to happen.
Speaker 12: Yeah, but I'd just say that was a bad sign.
Speaker 12: I mean, pot work down down there to get a
Speaker 12: lot of ticket after so getting the mail, they would
Speaker 12: have been a bag, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: I understand. Hopefully that's like the worst thing that happens today.
Speaker 6: You're dried off, you're warm now down to two degrees tonight.
Speaker 6: I hope you're prepared.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 6: And uh, if you've got an exterior wall with your plumbing,
Speaker 6: like in the kitchen or something, you might if it's
Speaker 6: not well insulated, like a lot of houses from like
Speaker 6: world time, you know, like the after post war initially,
Speaker 6: you gotta let that water drip or something, because then
Speaker 6: there will be a lot of plumbers making a whole
Speaker 6: lot of dough showing up at the house tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Thanks many, we're here to help.
Speaker 5: Jim.
Speaker 6: Appreciate the call. And sorry you slipped on the on
Speaker 6: the driveway. I mean I can't it was him, I
Speaker 6: mean he lost his footing. I am not responding, I
Speaker 6: feel like somehow I carry the weight of those type
Speaker 6: of things down and that's unreasonable, isn't it.
Speaker 4: That's unreasonable.
Speaker 1: Yes, but he does bring up a good point. You
Speaker 1: really have to be I probably slipped three times today.
Speaker 2: Really, you have to be careful.
Speaker 4: You see your male man or male woman. I don't
Speaker 4: know your postal carriers.
Speaker 1: The rock stars, they are rock stars, are male carriers.
Speaker 6: I had like Danish and some other stuff, and I
Speaker 6: saw the mail truck across the street park, so I
Speaker 6: knew dude was around. I'd been out with the dog
Speaker 6: and then he didn't want to come in, And by
Speaker 6: the time I got the dog in and came back around,
Speaker 6: he had been by. I saw the tracks and he
Speaker 6: was out of the way, and I wanted to do
Speaker 6: him a solid because I know, through rain, sleet and
Speaker 6: snow and the wicked cold, they're out there doing it.
Speaker 2: They are. They are some props her male people.
Speaker 6: Let's get to Indiana, Andy, and then Richard on seven
Speaker 6: hundred W well w was Stirling and Donnade?
Speaker 13: Andy?
Speaker 6: How are you are you wondering Indiana or are you

Speaker 13: get a kid too, so I my daughter.
Speaker 7: I don't know, all right.
Speaker 13: And that's the thing too. You see a lot of
Speaker 13: people driving around, don't assume they're going out to.
Speaker 7: Get nacho cheese.
Speaker 4: Right, there's some.
Speaker 13: Dads out there and moms. I'm actually heading out to
Speaker 13: pick my daughter up. She's a dietitian at a retirement
Speaker 13: facility and she's taking care of the people there, make.
Speaker 7: Sure they get food.
Speaker 13: And you know, that's I think that's what really the
Speaker 13: curry sini car is given benefit of.
Speaker 10: The doubt, give them some space.
Speaker 13: They're probably doing something honorable.
Speaker 1: You're right, that's a total PSA. And it's also a
Speaker 1: nice reminder that dads make sure they go get their
Speaker 1: their little girls too, because she's doing something moms are too.
Speaker 2: That's right, moms and dads are out there doing it there.
Speaker 4: They got their.
Speaker 13: Boots on, right. I got her some food and we'll
Speaker 13: pick her up. She probably already ate.
Speaker 12: They got a lot of.
Speaker 4: Food to pick from.
Speaker 13: I'll share something fun with you. She loves working at
Speaker 13: the facility. She deals with a lot of people that
Speaker 13: have some Alzheimer's of dementia, and she loves them so much.
Speaker 13: She says she'll bring their food in and they'll get
Speaker 13: mad at her and say that's not what they order,
Speaker 13: and she says, okay, She'll walk out of the room,
Speaker 13: turn around, just go hey, I got your food, and
Speaker 13: they're so.
Speaker 7: Happy to see her.
Speaker 6: You know, I hope, I hope to God that if
Speaker 6: I find myself in a situation suffering through something like that,
Speaker 6: that it can be like so uplifting and positive. I
Speaker 6: don't want to be like the you know, angry and
Speaker 6: suffering through it in a bad way a lot of
Speaker 6: people do. But if it could be just that bright
Speaker 6: of here you go, it's what you wanted. That that's
Speaker 6: a great way to cope with it. That's great strategy,
Speaker 6: we would hope.
Speaker 13: So, I mean, the least that you can hope for
Speaker 13: is that you get to keep your good looks.
Speaker 6: Right, Listen, I've been told I have was offbeat good looks,
Speaker 6: which means I guess I healed up after a beating
Speaker 6: by a bat or brick pretty okay, So yeah.
Speaker 4: It sounds like jazz, is what it sounds like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, you know what something sounds like, Andy,
Speaker 1: it sounds like your daughter got your personality, That's what
Speaker 1: it sounds like.
Speaker 13: She's so much. She's a lot like her mom.
Speaker 5: She's a good girl.
Speaker 13: And just proud of all of them, and proud of
Speaker 13: all the people out there doing they need to patching
Speaker 13: a lot of the trucks, yeah, doing the snowshoveling. So
Speaker 13: everybody just said, do your thing, keeping up. Thanks for
Speaker 13: you guys for being on tonight, have good evening, and
Speaker 13: too all carefully.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, I need to be safe out there, man, Thank
Speaker 6: you very much for being a part of the show
Speaker 6: and your daughter out there. And there's a whole lot
Speaker 6: of first responders too and out there doing it.
Speaker 4: And I know that you know what. The other thing is,
Speaker 4: I guarantee you. There's a whole lot.
Speaker 6: Of food delivery have you Yeah, you know, pizza and others.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uber drivers and things like that, even people
Speaker 1: that work in restaurants and bars and stuff. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, we talked to Caris earlier from the Bell
Speaker 1: and Bear they're open tonight.
Speaker 2: I mean there's you know, so there's.
Speaker 1: A lot of people working, have to get to work,
Speaker 1: have to get home from work, and let's just be safe.
Speaker 6: A lot of gas stations, the truck stops and everything
Speaker 6: else out hitting it. I mean, they have an abundance
Speaker 6: of vehicles out there, one hundred and thirty five to
Speaker 6: one hundred and forty trucks O Dot Cincinnati in these
Speaker 6: five counties around the Try State, and then at end
Speaker 6: Dayton they said that's up to.
Speaker 4: Two hundred and thirty or so trucks.
Speaker 2: They'll be going all night, none stop.
Speaker 6: So don't crowd them, give them some space to get
Speaker 6: it clear and safe for all of us and a
Speaker 6: lot of first responders and wreckers out there. I saw
Speaker 6: a couple of trucks jack knife, which delayed me, which
Speaker 6: you know, I'm just hopefully they were okay. You know,
Speaker 6: I didn't mind being delayed. Obviously, somebody's having a worse
Speaker 6: day than me just sitting there going a little start
Speaker 6: and stop in the snow. But to just slow it
Speaker 6: down in a lot of cars, I saw if a
Speaker 6: two seventy five and seventy one spun out and so forth.
Speaker 4: So it's it's dangerous out there. It's treacherous.
Speaker 6: There's a reason it's a winter storm warning, and just
Speaker 6: be careful wherever you are, and to give us a
Speaker 6: little idea as to what you're doing. And are you
Speaker 6: making a run for the power Ball, which, by the way,
Speaker 6: for a billion dollars, I've done a.
Speaker 4: Lot more for a lot less.
Speaker 2: Okay, then I'll be behind the thing. You go get
Speaker 2: us some Powerball tickets.
Speaker 6: We'll see how it goes. And you know, statistically, you
Speaker 6: know you winning is difficult. Let's get Richard real quick
Speaker 6: in Dayton and Cedarville, John all before the break and
Speaker 6: a lot of other ground to cover on a Saturday night,
Speaker 6: Stirling and Donnade, Dick, what's going on?
Speaker 4: How's every Hey, how are you doing? Doing well?
Speaker 10: My friends came yesterday and I went over. We did
Speaker 10: a little shopping. But they came yesterday because today they
Speaker 10: I heard the weather fore casting. I was out there
Speaker 10: helping my friends. It's bad, yeah, but I didn't get
Speaker 10: out too much today. But it's really I'm living over
Speaker 10: by the ball now. It's Stony Ridge in the streets
Speaker 10: down there, you know, toward the mall, and that you're
Speaker 10: close to seventy five.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 10: They said it was pretty bad, but I just I
Speaker 10: just stayed up and just you know, did my thing
Speaker 10: with exercise or activities today. So I didn't get a
Speaker 10: chance till my friends took me yesterday. So I weathered
Speaker 10: the storm.
Speaker 6: I guess right, Dick, you don't need to go anywhere,
Speaker 6: and if you do, take it slow and easy.
Speaker 4: It's always going to talk to you. Richard.
Speaker 6: Thank you for checking in and glad you're okay doing
Speaker 6: what you do. Let's get to John in Cedarville with
Speaker 6: Sterling and Donna d on the Big One.
Speaker 4: How's the snow? Hello?
Speaker 12: Hey, good evening.
Speaker 4: Hey, what's going on Jovin?
Speaker 12: Hey, good evening, Stirling and Donna, Hey, hey, I just
Speaker 12: want to say, it's a world of transportation, and what
Speaker 12: do we have without it?
Speaker 6: Without transportation, Yeah.
Speaker 5: We have.
Speaker 12: Behind Simply. All I'm saying is Merry Christmas. To all
Speaker 12: find a road.
Speaker 7: It will get you there.
Speaker 1: Ah, there you go, all right, John, so sweet, you
Speaker 1: know we have this is this is why I love.
Speaker 2: This time of year. Sterling.
Speaker 1: I mean, even though it's kind of crazy to drive,
Speaker 1: the snow is so beautiful.
Speaker 2: If you're sitting home.
Speaker 1: And you're looking out the window or you're throwing the
Speaker 1: ball to the dog, who's having a blast in the
Speaker 1: snow and your family's there, or you're even chilling by
Speaker 1: yourself and keeping it real peaceful. It's lovely and beautiful
Speaker 1: this time of year, and everybody's in a good mood.
Speaker 4: It's true.
Speaker 2: We've had such nice callers going.
Speaker 6: Through the snow, hanging out and some candles. This is
Speaker 6: like a perfect night. If you haven't already, like to
Speaker 6: decorate the tree or the Hanica boat.
Speaker 1: That's right, or wrap your presence, put some put some
Speaker 1: Frank old Frank Sinatra holiday that is the best.
Speaker 6: Hard to go wrong with Frank, the iHeartRadio app and
Speaker 6: the Christmas stuff. But you should listen to us first
Speaker 6: and then listen to that. I mean, I hate to
Speaker 6: read direct people away from us. It's just a terrible thing. Well,
Speaker 6: then let's sing some old Frank Sinatra.
Speaker 4: Then I can't do that. Yeah, yours up and very
Speaker 4: little crass.
Speaker 6: That sounded more like Elvis, that's all. I got a
Speaker 6: blue Christmas Dell could sing. He's quietly in the head.
Speaker 4: No, it was he was like it was treach.
Speaker 2: I can't believe I did it.
Speaker 6: You know the problem is this that people may have
Speaker 6: the roads are hazardous, but that right there. Not you
Speaker 6: you sound great. I used to be a decent center
Speaker 6: did not until my voice changed and then it went downhill.
Speaker 6: But I would hate to think that I'm responsible for
Speaker 6: somebody yanking it off the road.
Speaker 4: Hearing me try to.
Speaker 1: Sing, almost had a little harmony there for a second,
Speaker 1: almost pulled back. I sing to it a voice. I
Speaker 1: can get up there, we can. I'll go deeper on
Speaker 1: my voice, you go higher.
Speaker 6: Or something almost sounded like Pixie's there just for a minute.
Speaker 6: And one of the sisters deal from Dayton. But that's
Speaker 6: a whole other time. Speaking of Dayton, here's Lisa was
Speaker 6: Stirling and Donnade on the Big One. Hey Lisa, what
Speaker 6: do you know? How's the snow? How's the travels? Are
Speaker 6: you inside outside? Are you cold?
Speaker 4: Digging out?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 15: I've been out in this weather all day carrying mail.
Speaker 8: I thought i'd call it.
Speaker 4: You're a superstar.
Speaker 1: We love our mail years and there's some of the
Speaker 1: bravest in the world.
Speaker 4: Now here's what I want to know. Are you actually
Speaker 4: hooking it?
Speaker 6: Or are you like somebody lucky who can go down
Speaker 6: to like Crew Tower, who has a whole building. Is
Speaker 6: their routes where they just have to go in and
Speaker 6: drop it off because that's the way to do it.
Speaker 13: Well, let me just say this.
Speaker 15: Okay, I had a knee replacement about a year ago,
Speaker 15: so I'm still on some restrictions.
Speaker 8: But hey, I've done a.
Speaker 15: Lot of packages the day, so a lot of my
Speaker 15: route is the driving part.
Speaker 7: Okay, but no walk, no walking.
Speaker 8: But you know, I just wanted to.
Speaker 15: Call in and tell y'all we're going to the Bengals
Speaker 15: game tomorrow. That's seen mail people from Dayton going down
Speaker 15: to the game, So it's going to be great.
Speaker 4: Doing what you do.
Speaker 6: I'm guessing to tomorrow in fourteen degrees at kickoff with
Speaker 6: Bengals and Ravens getting it on the big one in
Speaker 6: at pay Corps where you'll be. I mean, that's almost
Speaker 6: like summertime to mail carriers, right.
Speaker 15: Well, we're all pretty yeah, we're all used to it
Speaker 15: by now. But you know, I don't think we'll be
Speaker 15: out there without our shirts or anything.
Speaker 6: Well that's all it's usually, let's be honest, though, it's
Speaker 6: dudes that are usually stupid like that.
Speaker 4: We're like that. Women. You guys are just inherently smarter
Speaker 4: I think than us.
Speaker 15: Well yeah, I think you're right there.
Speaker 2: Even still, it's going to be called for anybody ten degrees.
Speaker 2: Make sure you know scarf mittens.
Speaker 1: You want to cover your fingertips and and get like
Speaker 1: ten bears of socks on and stuff.
Speaker 4: That'll be good. One.
Speaker 6: Well, now are you going to have We're short on time,
Speaker 6: but about twelve seconds or so. Not that it'll stretch
Speaker 6: you out or anything. Uh, but I'm just curious. How
Speaker 6: will we know if they're panning the crowd. Will you
Speaker 6: have like a US mail carrier like gear on or
Speaker 6: what because we want to look for you.
Speaker 8: Uh, I don't think so.
Speaker 7: I think it'll be in my Bengals gear.
Speaker 4: That'll work.
Speaker 6: That'll work well, Shanle, be safe, appreciate what you're doing
Speaker 6: on a regular basis.
Speaker 4: Indeed, there you go.
Speaker 6: That's Lisa Let, a carrier from Dayton, going to be
Speaker 6: at the Bengals game tomorrow.
Speaker 4: We'll hear it here.
Speaker 6: Eight thirty reports straight away Jack Crumley has news late
Speaker 6: us on the snow.
Speaker 4: Oh how deep it's getting.
Speaker 6: The treacher is driving so much more here on seven
Speaker 6: hundred WLW Sterling and Donade hanging out as a beautiful
Speaker 6: Saturday heavening.
Speaker 4: Now the snow is fall.
Speaker 1: Now that my friends are here and they're safe, and
Speaker 1: sounds at the studio, I've.
Speaker 6: Been ray the winter store. Chances are you're on the
Speaker 6: road now, too many people are you. Guys can control
Speaker 6: the volume on your headphones where they're plugged in, which
Speaker 6: is sort of down.
Speaker 4: Just follow the court. There you go.
Speaker 6: Donna's going to hook you up. We're rolling until nine.
Speaker 6: Donna's here till midnight. Maybe I'll stay. I think the
Speaker 6: weather may force me to stay.
Speaker 2: Ever, don't do me anything for Sterling. All right, I
Speaker 2: mean listen, you can go.
Speaker 6: Ow oh you got see that's karma. You got shocked,
Speaker 6: but really disturbing. That's never happened before.
Speaker 4: That's karma. That's what that is. It's all right.
Speaker 6: Heavy snow is still expected intermittently, still accumulating snow. Slow down,
Speaker 6: allow extra time getting where you're going if you don't
Speaker 6: have to go, et cetera. But your friend Lisa Riker
Speaker 6: usually lose the term of friend for me too, as
Speaker 6: well as her friend Nate Young. Now I hopefully can
Speaker 6: say our friend retired Cincinnati PD was stirling and done
Speaker 6: a d on the Big One, talking about a whole
Speaker 6: host of different things.
Speaker 4: Out there.
Speaker 6: First of all, Nate, I'm kind of curious with the
Speaker 6: drive in how it was with traffic and everything else.
Speaker 6: It seemed like the majority of the problems when I
Speaker 6: was in, And none of us wants to believe that
Speaker 6: we're a part of the problem, right, which I will
Speaker 6: full on in front think I was not the problem today.
Speaker 6: It was people crowding me on the way in. I
Speaker 6: was trying to allow room for those big tractor trailers
Speaker 6: because I don't want to be a tin can crushed.
Speaker 4: And you hear what happened to him. I don't want
Speaker 4: to be that guy.
Speaker 6: But people ride too close and too fast, and it's
Speaker 6: the same story. It seems like when rain or snow
Speaker 6: or anything else. How was it coming in?
Speaker 16: It wasn't bad, just as you described a lot of
Speaker 16: we're the professionals, right, everybody else needs to be off
Speaker 16: the risk always always right.
Speaker 7: So no, it wasn't bad.
Speaker 16: Yeah, the snow built up on the highways and some
Speaker 16: of the side streets were pretty significant, but overall wasn't
Speaker 16: that bad at all. Just take your time. The go
Speaker 16: part is easy in the snow. It's the slow part
Speaker 16: that you gotta be a prayer for. So keeps slow
Speaker 16: to correcting. Yeah, and a little bit too quick.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 6: That's the real trick. Now, we're talking about a lot
Speaker 6: of stuff at oftentimes Saturday nights. It's relationship stuff with
Speaker 6: donnad and you know hear me as well. She's always
Speaker 6: trying to break me down and make sense of my dysfunction.
Speaker 6: I like to put the fun in the dysfunction. But
Speaker 6: one of the things that everybody's been talking about is
Speaker 6: a Michigan football coach University of Michigan up in ann Arbor,
Speaker 6: kicked to the curb. They fired him. And it's the
Speaker 6: weirdest thing because he lost to Ohio State. No, no, no,
Speaker 6: it has nothing to do with that or you know
Speaker 6: how or maybe getting beat by Ohio State duet or
Speaker 6: the other way around. But it was about some weird
Speaker 6: interactive relationship dysfunction going out on the wife and apparently
Speaker 6: getting it together with a coworker or an employee and
Speaker 6: then stalking and all this other weird stuff, odd behaviors, right.
Speaker 1: Donna Erone Moore, Yeah, Michigan former Michigan State coach. Now,
Speaker 1: you know, disgraced is what his title is. Unfortunately, how
Speaker 1: do you do that? You have a relationship with you know,
Speaker 1: a co worker or you know somebody that worked on
Speaker 1: his team, an assistant. It was an inappropriate relation. A
Speaker 1: lot of people knew about it. Apparently he got her
Speaker 1: pregnant and he ordered Plan B on door. That's how
Speaker 1: he really got revealed, which is the craziest thing. But
Speaker 1: there was already an investigation on campus and everyone's just saying,
Speaker 1: this guy is what, he's married, he's got three kids,
Speaker 1: he's now with this girl and everyone knows it. And
Speaker 1: she had the receipts, went in and showed all the
Speaker 1: text messages. He flipped out, and now yeah, he was
Speaker 1: charged with invasion, stalking and his alleged attack on the
Speaker 1: mistress because apparently he wanted to offer and off himself too.
Speaker 2: What a mess that is.
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, it's odd aside from the home invasion stalking and
Speaker 6: you know, the thought of a murder suicide scenario, that's
Speaker 6: the worst case scenario. Which interesting to me in the
Speaker 6: human condition is it doesn't matter if you are rich
Speaker 6: or you are poor, if you are famous or if
Speaker 6: you're a nobody. There is an odd thing where people
Speaker 6: get so fixated and involved in a tunnel vision circumstance
Speaker 6: where they see someone they have a thing on the side, which,
Speaker 6: you know, the adults consenting do whatever you want to do,
Speaker 6: that's between you and your partner in God or whatever else.
Speaker 6: But when it crosses the line and goes off the rails,
Speaker 6: where you start hurting people and threatening their employment or
Speaker 6: threatening them physically or whatever else. I mean, one of
Speaker 6: the things Nate Young was here, former Cincinnati PD retired.
Speaker 6: You were dealing with sex traffic victims in a change
Speaker 6: court situation, so you often saw either people who were
Speaker 6: sex trafficked or people who were involved in odd circumstances
Speaker 6: of relationships in divorce and stuff gone wrong. So I'm
Speaker 6: just kind of curious when someone's in it, when you're
Speaker 6: dealing with them in the adjudication, in the policing end
Speaker 6: of it, when does the light come on? Because it
Speaker 6: seems like people are oblivious to the fact that they're
Speaker 6: doing something way crazy, way insane.
Speaker 2: I don't get that either.
Speaker 16: If I had the answer to that, we could solve
Speaker 16: a lot of problems tonight.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 16: Yeah, So, specifically in relationship to sex traffic victims, it
Speaker 16: is extremely difficult to get that person's brain rewired to
Speaker 16: understand that they are a victim. A lot of times
Speaker 16: they are in belief that they are in a stable, normal,
Speaker 16: highly functionally, highly functional relationship, and that's not true at all.
Speaker 16: There's a lot of diabolical things that are happening to
Speaker 16: this person through their they're silent and in relations to
Speaker 16: the coach, relationship to the coach. I can't speak to
Speaker 16: why someone makes those type of decisions. That's not in
Speaker 16: my makeup or DNA to participate in things like that.
Speaker 16: But he's in a whole heap of trouble.
Speaker 2: That's what I was going to ask you.
Speaker 1: So so being charged with home invasion, stocking and alleged
Speaker 1: attack and other things, those are just the top three.
Speaker 2: What's he is he going to do time?
Speaker 16: I can't imagine there would be a scenario where he wouldn't.
Speaker 16: So in a lot of these cases, the victim will
Speaker 16: recant on some of the statements and not want to
Speaker 16: follow through with the charges. And in the Hamilton County
Speaker 16: justice system, unless things have changed since I left, there's
Speaker 16: some mechanisms in place where that's not an option. Some
Speaker 16: of those charges are built into the activity of the
Speaker 16: person committing the crime to where the victim won't be
Speaker 16: able to if the charge, if the victim is not
Speaker 16: going to follow through, we still have other charges that
Speaker 16: we're going to follow through with that just come.
Speaker 1: No matter he's going to go, He's going to get something,
Speaker 1: whether it's jail time. He's already lost a five million
Speaker 1: dollars a year job he was fired for that, married
Speaker 1: with three kids, right, and then you know, risking, risking
Speaker 1: everything for an affair. It just doesn't seem it just
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem obviously, it's not logical.
Speaker 2: It's temporary, and you know, we all.
Speaker 6: In the heat of the moment, you think you would
Speaker 6: grow beyond being a sixteen or seventeen year old who
Speaker 6: is hormonally charged and inexperienced and in life, let alone
Speaker 6: all the incuracies of employment and relationship and losing half
Speaker 6: and breaking hearts and killing you know, the father figure,
Speaker 6: a mother figure, circumstance of children, and all the things
Speaker 6: that go into it. But there's also an invincibility thing.
Speaker 6: I think a lot of people have big, powerful job,
Speaker 6: big influential person to be in a place where you know,
Speaker 6: who are you to tell me I'm doing what I'm doing?
Speaker 6: In an employment scenario where it's an underling. Also, I
Speaker 6: mean that gets deep contract.
Speaker 2: It is too big for your breeches. That is what
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 1: You get like this ego that comes out of control
Speaker 1: that you think you're not going to get in trouble
Speaker 1: and you're not going to, but you know, yeah, life
Speaker 1: comes knocking.
Speaker 16: I would say that you would have to be predisposed
Speaker 16: to that type of activity regard long before you land
Speaker 16: in that position of authority and all that stuff. I
Speaker 16: don't think that's something that just.
Speaker 7: Maybe it is in some cases.
Speaker 16: For sure, there's a there's a there's a momentary slip up,
Speaker 16: but I just believe that's probably in your DNA he.
Speaker 17: Grew up with it or maybe however, yes, it's I
Speaker 17: just yeah, you know, you're either grounded and you're solid
Speaker 17: and you're not going to do that type of thing period,
Speaker 17: no matter where you start from or where you land
Speaker 17: or it's probably in there somewhere and it's going to
Speaker 17: come out manifest itself and at some point, whether it's
Speaker 17: you're the head coach of Michigan or you're a lowly
Speaker 17: police officer or you're delivering mail, if it's if it's there,
Speaker 17: it's going to.
Speaker 2: Come out well.
Speaker 1: And he's talented too, you know, obviously he is, and
Speaker 1: so some people are talented but shouldn't be in leadership
Speaker 1: roles because they misused that position. How is the climb back?
Speaker 1: I mean, can it be done? I mean, what are
Speaker 1: we looking at here? I mean, well, I mean look
Speaker 1: at it this way.
Speaker 6: There's the Am I going to become another top tier
Speaker 6: college football coach? You're going to have to probably start
Speaker 6: smaller and build your way up. I mean, there was
Speaker 6: a guy who was in Louisville whose son is obviously
Speaker 6: at a high position here with Xavier now Richard Patino,
Speaker 6: but you know, his father, if I'm not mistaken, had
Speaker 6: some issues that took him away for a while. That
Speaker 6: brought him back. I think he's at Saint John's if
Speaker 6: I'm not mistaken, So you come back. And that was
Speaker 6: just not anything as volatile or over the top as
Speaker 6: what this case is, but just someone who their dirty
Speaker 6: laundry got out in the public and the image issues
Speaker 6: and everything else sort of goes along with it.
Speaker 1: I mean that it's not impossible to come back, because
Speaker 1: there have been but like look at you know, even
Speaker 1: Will Smith with the slap at the Oscar. I haven't
Speaker 1: been able to watch a movie of his after and
Speaker 1: he was undocout.
Speaker 2: I did not like that at all. I hated that moment.
Speaker 4: It was not good, but it was interesting.
Speaker 2: It was whatever. I mean, I still can't I had
Speaker 2: read his book.
Speaker 1: I really was a Will I wouldn't say a Will Smith,
Speaker 1: you know fan. But I watched his movies and I
Speaker 1: liked his music, and I thought he was like you know,
Speaker 1: he he could play the powerball and be the winner
Speaker 1: of a billion dollars. That's how, that's how on top
Speaker 1: of his game was. After that slap, he's never been
Speaker 1: the same.
Speaker 16: My wife's write in line with you on that. She
Speaker 16: she refuses to watch any of his movies. You can't
Speaker 16: do it goes on the TV for something, you know.
Speaker 16: Of course I rolled my eyes, but I understand where
Speaker 16: she's coming from.
Speaker 2: I wish I could.
Speaker 6: I can't be just if it had been infidelity, would
Speaker 6: you have been able to overlook it?
Speaker 2: But the excuse me to watch movies half of Hollywood?
Speaker 6: So but but the slap of the small scale, I mean,
Speaker 6: Chris Rock's about my size, maybe bigger even right, and
Speaker 6: Will Smith at that point of being a lee, he's bigger.
Speaker 6: And in the big slap, you kind of go, Okay, well,
Speaker 6: I feel bad for Chris. I'm kind of curious though,
Speaker 6: men and women, because women in positions of power and
Speaker 6: authority or just in general will also step out of relationship.
Speaker 6: It's not always the guy, but the guy usually gets
Speaker 6: more headlines unless it's a teacher with like a student
Speaker 6: in that scenario, which I think is sexist and is
Speaker 6: just wrong.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, I mean I could.
Speaker 7: Fair is fair?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: You can see Stirling reads the news every day unless
Speaker 1: it's a teacher with a student. That is the general.
Speaker 1: That's the general thing of where women. You know, women
Speaker 1: do this too. It is not just a man issue.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know this woman, this young girl, she's
Speaker 1: gonna be tarnished the rest of her life now, I
Speaker 1: mean that's.
Speaker 4: Gonna come go, going to be financially set.
Speaker 1: How is she going to be finding that guy's going
Speaker 1: to Jailly has no money?
Speaker 6: Now, how is she going to be financially She's gonna
Speaker 6: shoots to his uh, whatever resources he has, she is
Speaker 6: going to get. She's still going to be brandished. As
Speaker 6: you know, she moves from Michigan, she can be anywhere,
Speaker 6: and she's just attractive with cash, and she's going to
Speaker 6: be more careful about who she hooks up with.
Speaker 2: Well, that's the lesson learned right there.
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean, I don't people, I'm just making
Speaker 6: stuff up.
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
Speaker 1: People make mistakes, and they should be able to at
Speaker 1: least it's got something.
Speaker 2: She's trying to write something down. It is a cult
Speaker 2: write me a note to tell me.
Speaker 11: You know where this goes off the rails is because
Speaker 11: it's when they act nuts, you know, when they do
Speaker 11: some kind of nutty behavior. Because it is going to
Speaker 11: be the age old story. People are gonna cheat. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 11: they do. But think about the Coldplay concert, right and
Speaker 11: that story, and both of them lost their jobs in
Speaker 11: that instance, and people are talking about this girl. Why
Speaker 11: isn't she losing her job? And I think I think
Speaker 11: eventually she will. But Strolling thinks she's going to you know,
Speaker 11: the universe.
Speaker 4: So she may not work there anymore. I don't know.
Speaker 6: But I'm just saying in general, if she's an underling
Speaker 6: and you're having a superior in some fashion of that program,
Speaker 6: do things that he shouldn't be. I don't care about
Speaker 6: stepping out on the wife. I mean I do, but
Speaker 6: it's not relevant to this. And then so then you
Speaker 6: have employment held over the underling's head aside from the
Speaker 6: home invasion and the stalking and the.
Speaker 2: Thing because he fired her. He ultimately fired her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's a there's a lawsuit right there, A
Speaker 1: lot of ugly at Lisa. You're right, So I do
Speaker 1: understand your point. It's infidelity. It happens. People understand it
Speaker 1: and they forgive it. You never know what's happening in
Speaker 1: somebody's marriage, so that that's it. It's the fact that
Speaker 1: you know, he got her pregnant, he did the plan
Speaker 1: B thing by door dash. I mean, that's weird right there. Yea,
Speaker 1: he broke into her apartment, he grabbed a knife. There's
Speaker 1: all kinds of very unbelievable we don't even know all
Speaker 1: the details yet on what he did to try and
Speaker 1: cover this up and get her to be by and
Speaker 1: then the texting of the the only Fans girl there's
Speaker 1: that too.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I'd prefer not to know anybody's personal business at all,
Speaker 6: you know, I mean generally it's like, not my business.
Speaker 6: I feel really weird talking about somebody else's private business.
Speaker 6: But it becomes a story because of high profile nature
Speaker 6: of stuff. But people are people well, and we can.
Speaker 2: Learn from it. We can all learn from it.
Speaker 6: Just the thing that's hard to determine, and we're late.
Speaker 6: Mister Waddell's like, stop now, we have your nine o'clock
Speaker 6: report with the latest on the snow coming down in
Speaker 6: traffic situation and everything else. The shooting at Brown University
Speaker 6: with at least I think one fatal and others that
Speaker 6: are injured at this point, more details coming, and a
Speaker 6: shooter at large. But in the midst of all of this,
Speaker 6: it'd be nice to be able to look at somebody
Speaker 6: and the eye. And my problem is, I like crazy girls.
Speaker 6: There is a huge benefit for the crazy, but the
Speaker 6: backside of that, pardon the pun can be very dangerous
Speaker 6: and unsettling and costly. Historically, there is something about crazy
Speaker 6: though us to say anything, but every we're late and
Speaker 6: we gotta go.
Speaker 4: I hear what you're saying. Thank you, it's good to
Speaker 4: talk to you.
