Speaker 1: All right, the average American and for the great American
Speaker 1: once again on this Thursday. Great to have you with us.
Speaker 1: Don't say that capriciously. This is the great medium of
Speaker 1: terrestrial radio. But even if you are listening on the
Speaker 1: great iHeartMedia app, we welcome you in once again for
Speaker 1: the next three hours. A lot going on today, of course,
Speaker 1: major news coming out of the NBA gambling scandal, FBI
Speaker 1: all over it will have that in just a bit.
Speaker 1: We also are watching exactly what's going on from a
Speaker 1: geopolitical standpoint between the United States and China. And it's interesting.
Speaker 1: Things don't exist in a vacuum when you're talking about
Speaker 1: geopolitical situations. They simply don't. There are other players involved,
Speaker 1: allies of certain countries, people that may facilitate what the
Speaker 1: major superpowers want to do. And we all have our
Speaker 1: eyes on China is our biggest adversary when it comes
Speaker 1: to trade, and from a military standpoint, they are a
Speaker 1: very formidable foe, and we all know over the course
Speaker 1: of the last four years there were an inordinate amount
Speaker 1: of military aged Chinese men that were led into this
Speaker 1: country with unfettered access to the entire fifty United States,
Speaker 1: and now this as the US and China get into
Speaker 1: this urinating contest over tariffs, and right now, on November first,
Speaker 1: it's apparently going to be a showdown date when more
Speaker 1: US tariffs will go into effect. And you have the
Speaker 1: Trump administration now considering a plan to curb an array
Speaker 1: of software powered exports to China, laptops and jet engines,
Speaker 1: all retaliating against Beijing's latest round of rare earth export restrictions.
Speaker 1: Now we have this Venezuela becoming a player in China
Speaker 1: v the United States. We know what the administration has
Speaker 1: been up to with blowing up these boats that are
Speaker 1: transporting narcotics off the coast of South America. And we
Speaker 1: all know that they view the Venezuelan president, Nicholas Maduro
Speaker 1: as illegitimate. And we all know that the CIA has
Speaker 1: begin to infiltrate some of those South American countries. But
Speaker 1: how is China and Venezuela all interlocked right now and
Speaker 1: perhaps being a megapo against the United States. It's not
Speaker 1: as simple as it seems. And I don't have to
Speaker 1: tell my guests this. Joshua Philip has been on my
Speaker 1: show before. He is a senior investigative reporter at the
Speaker 1: Epic Times, and he's been digging into this. This is
Speaker 1: a man who has been involved in interviewing carteil traffickers,
Speaker 1: He's been inside Central America. He's done, as they say
Speaker 1: in journalism, the footwork, and now working as this senior
Speaker 1: investigative reporter for the Epic Times. He brings it all
Speaker 1: to you on shows like Crossroads. And it's great that
Speaker 1: he can carve out some time to spend with us
Speaker 1: here on seven hundred A w wel w and Joshua,
Speaker 1: how are you on this glorious Thursday.
Speaker 2: Hey, Ken, great to hear from you, and doing doing well.
Speaker 2: No shortage of news at the very at least, right, No, there.
Speaker 1: Is not, and and this is concerning. Look, Venezuela to
Speaker 1: me has always been kind of a gnat that you
Speaker 1: just swat away. Every so often. They have dirty, dirty oil.
Speaker 1: The United States bought some dirty oil from Venezuela. Other
Speaker 1: people buy oil from Venezuela and just get out of
Speaker 1: the way. You know what you're You're you're a ten.
Speaker 1: You got a tinpot dictator in you're third world country.
Speaker 1: But now being an all in an alliance with China,
Speaker 1: they become more of a problem for the United States.
Speaker 1: So let's just talk about how oil of this is related.
Speaker 1: Are ongoing, urinating contests with China over tariffs and then Venezuela,
Speaker 1: who is supplying that dirty oil to China. It's it's
Speaker 1: all interlocked, is it not?
Speaker 2: It one hundred percent is And you know, again, as
Speaker 2: many issues tend to be, China is the big picture
Speaker 2: with Venezuela. So you know, we've all seen some of
Speaker 2: the videos I assume of Trump posting them and Pete
Speaker 2: Heggs had posted them. They're blowing up these cartel boats.
Speaker 2: And you know, when a lot of us think cartels
Speaker 2: were thinking Mexico, we're thinking the Mexican drug cartels. We're
Speaker 2: not really thinking like Venezuelan traffickers. Why do they come
Speaker 2: from Venezuela. Now, if you had asked me, the real
Speaker 2: picture of all this doesn't start the last few months.
Speaker 2: The big picture of this actually starts back in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 2: and that goes back to the Venezuelan elections. What happened
Speaker 2: at the time, Well, Nicholas Maduro, the still current leader
Speaker 2: of Venezuela, was accused of rigging the election. He was
Speaker 2: accused by Donald Trump. He was even accused of this
Speaker 2: by Biden. And you know, in the United States, the
Speaker 2: whole allegation of election.
Speaker 3: Fraud is one thing.
Speaker 2: Even Biden accused Maduro of digging the elections, and both
Speaker 2: Trump and Biden recognized the opposition leader as the official
Speaker 2: leader of Venezuela. Maduro was seen as the unofficial leader,
Speaker 2: labeled also as the leader of the Cartel of the
Speaker 2: Sons by both Trump and Biden. The issue back in
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, though, was that you had huge protests on
Speaker 2: the streets. It looked like Maduro was going to be overthrown.
Speaker 2: They were accusing the US, Oh, you're you know, you're
Speaker 2: trying to overthrow our government as they are right now,
Speaker 2: right is they're saying right now. And then what happened.
Speaker 2: The Chinese Communist Party in Russia deployed forces to Venezuela.
Speaker 2: And during this was towards you know, I mean mid
Speaker 2: mid first term of Trump, right, Trump was talking about
Speaker 2: intervening in Venezuela. Russia threatened the United States. Russia said
Speaker 2: if America intervenes, there will be bloodshed, and Trump actually
Speaker 2: backed off with That was the end of the Venezuela story.
Speaker 2: You know, during the first Trump term in office. But
Speaker 2: what the story said at the time was that China
Speaker 2: was basically trying to protect its investments in Venezuela tens
Speaker 2: of billions of dollars, basically bailing out the country and
Speaker 2: controlling the country. Venezuela became a puppet state of the
Speaker 2: CCP during that time. And the other big picture is
Speaker 2: that Venezuela now suffering from economic decline and everything else.
Speaker 2: They want more resources. The big resource just north of
Speaker 2: them in Guyana, where they found one of the largest
Speaker 2: oil reserves in the world several years back. Eggs On
Speaker 2: Mobil is currently doing a lot of the you know,
Speaker 2: the operations there. Venezuela then comes out and claims they
Speaker 2: have historical ownership over the part of Guyana where the
Speaker 2: eggs on Mobile operations are, and so they're getting ready
Speaker 2: to start a war there. They're working with Brazil Lula
Speaker 2: now back in power, and they want to start a
Speaker 2: war basically to retake their quote unquote you know what
Speaker 2: belongs to them, they say.
Speaker 3: Which is not true.
Speaker 4: By the way.
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio actually went down there just a few months
Speaker 2: ago and he actually warned Venezuela, if you do this,
Speaker 2: you will face the repercussions from the United States and
Speaker 2: so and so not everything we see is just about drugs.
Speaker 2: Part of it is about the CCP's investments. They're part
Speaker 2: of it is about oil. Part of it is it
Speaker 2: definitely about drugs. But part of it too is that
Speaker 2: they're basically being deemed a criminal regime by the United
Speaker 2: States and anybody who defends them as also being labeled
Speaker 2: to stay in like Colombia.
Speaker 1: Now, so we have this access right China, Iran, Russia,
Speaker 1: U Venezuela is part of that, and that doesn't even
Speaker 1: get into what Russia is trying to do with China
Speaker 1: on another level from an economic standpoint, and it seems
Speaker 1: like it's those group of countries against the United States.
Speaker 1: All right, who's the brains in the operation? Is it China?
Speaker 1: Is China the center of this?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, So what is what does Russia coming? Why would Russia,
Speaker 1: as John McCain once famously said, is one giant gasoline station.
Speaker 1: Why would why would why would Russia remotely be interested
Speaker 1: in a pool of oil in Ghana? Or is it
Speaker 1: all China that's really interested in it and as using
Speaker 1: Russia as its force.
Speaker 2: So that ties into a broader agenda. So Russia working
Speaker 2: with the Chinese Communist Party, working with these Middle Eastern powers,
Speaker 2: working with African powers, working with powers throughout Latin America.
Speaker 2: They have an alternate world order they're trying to push.
Speaker 2: So you know, we all hear about bricks, right, we
Speaker 2: hear about the Bricks Alliance. If you actually listen to
Speaker 2: their speeches, they're talking about something else. Russia is talking
Speaker 2: about it, the heads of Venezuela talking about African muders are.
Speaker 3: Talking about it.
Speaker 2: The CCP is the main model for it. They're talking
Speaker 2: about what's called the multipolar world order, and effectively, this
Speaker 2: is how they view it. They see that Chinese, they
Speaker 2: see that American sanctions. You know, if you abuse your citizens,
Speaker 2: if you start a war, if you invade another country,
Speaker 2: as you carry out a genocide, you get sanctioned by
Speaker 2: the United States. That is part of the packs Americana
Speaker 2: where the United States is enforcing our interpretation of government,
Speaker 2: which is that government is instituted among people to defend
Speaker 2: God given rights. Communist states hate that. Tyrants hate that,
Speaker 2: and they believe that if they're going to have power,
Speaker 2: if they're going to trade economically, if they're going to
Speaker 2: be you know, economic wheelhouses. They need to destroy that,
Speaker 2: they need to destroy the packs Americana. They need to
Speaker 2: destroy what they call the unipolar world order, meaning the
Speaker 2: American system as the world you know, kind of model
Speaker 2: of government, the unipolar world order.
Speaker 4: So what they're proposing is what's.
Speaker 2: Called the multipolar world order, which is many countries controlled
Speaker 2: different regions. America controls America, Canada controls Canada, probably Cuba
Speaker 2: and Venezuela in Brazil control Latin America, and Full of
Speaker 2: Powers control Africa like an African alliance. China controls basically
Speaker 2: all of East Asia. Russia controls the former Soviet Union,
Speaker 2: and then influences you know, western Western Europe knows, yeah,
Speaker 2: Western Europe through mostly energy trade, and that's what they want.
Speaker 2: They want America just to be a seat at the
Speaker 2: paved table, and they want to overthrow the American system
Speaker 2: of sanctions.
Speaker 1: Well, obviously that would be something that that this administration
Speaker 1: would not go for. I mean, there might have been
Speaker 1: past administrations that would have entertained that idea, so obviously
Speaker 1: that that's that's a non starter for the current folks
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. But still, if you if you
Speaker 1: just look at where we are as a country, and
Speaker 1: you look at at what you just said, who are
Speaker 1: our allies? Because it ain't going to be the United
Speaker 1: States aided by Canada that's going to be going in
Speaker 1: to fight all for all this stuff if we if
Speaker 1: we want that. Now, if it's hockey, it might be
Speaker 1: a different story, But this is geopolitical warfare. So I mean,
Speaker 1: who's in this fight with us? And that does not
Speaker 1: seem to be a fight that's winnable when you factor
Speaker 1: in what China can do economically and what Russia could
Speaker 1: do with a madman in charge of that country. Well,
Speaker 1: where how do we play that game?
Speaker 2: Well, this is the bigger challenge we have is that
Speaker 2: we don't we don't have unified nation alliances. A lot
Speaker 2: of this is party based, so a lot of the
Speaker 2: left wing governments, the socialist governments of the Europe, socialist
Speaker 2: parties of Canada, you know, maybe not the conservatives, but
Speaker 2: the socialist sides, you know, they want that too. They
Speaker 2: want to say, you know, America does its tariffs, America
Speaker 2: does its uh, you know, it's trade policies. They want
Speaker 2: things kind of claimed by the status quo. They want
Speaker 2: global equity. Europe wants to be able to censor Americans.
Speaker 2: They want to be able to suppress what we say
Speaker 2: on the internet. They want to be able to tax
Speaker 2: American high tech industries because they say we have.
Speaker 3: A monopoly on it.
Speaker 2: They view America as, you know, kind of a powerful city,
Speaker 2: and they want equity. They want us to share the wealth,
Speaker 2: which turns out we've been doing and a lot of
Speaker 2: Americans weren't even where we were doing it. You know,
Speaker 2: we subsidize their healthcare system, we pay for the military,
Speaker 2: we do everything for them. That's global equity, and that's
Speaker 2: what they want in terms of the global agreements, I mean,
Speaker 2: the unports or the multipolar world order. It's the same
Speaker 2: thing being said at the World Economic Forum meetings. It's
Speaker 2: the same thing being said when a lot of these
Speaker 2: leaders go and speak at the United Nations. A lot
Speaker 2: of them are pushing for it. And you know, China's
Speaker 2: even trying to do it too, even through the creation
Speaker 2: of alternate economic systems. They were proposing a bricks currency
Speaker 2: to overthrow the US dollar.
Speaker 3: It is true.
Speaker 2: Trump has been hitting back on them pretty hard against this.
Speaker 2: Trump so that if anybody tries to overthrow the US dollar,
Speaker 2: you're going to get one hundred percent sanctioned or sorry terriffs.
Speaker 2: And so you know it's a battle right now, but
Speaker 2: it's only going to take one leader to stop fighting
Speaker 2: that battle for the other side to win.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And you know it's funny listening to that
Speaker 1: politics and geopolitics. The enemy could be from within. I mean,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people in this country that
Speaker 1: are running for office or would like to entertain a
Speaker 1: notion of running for office, that are socialists in their
Speaker 1: behavior and believe that equity is the way to go
Speaker 1: in the United States. So there's a battle that's being
Speaker 1: fought outside of the borders of the United States, and
Speaker 1: then there could be one politically being fought inside the
Speaker 1: borders of the United States. And who knows what kind
Speaker 1: of influenced Russia. I'm sorry, China may have. I just
Speaker 1: had a guy on yesterday who is plugged into what's
Speaker 1: going on with a lot of these Antifa riots and
Speaker 1: said he had he had complete evidence that what's going
Speaker 1: on in Portland is being funded by the Chinese and
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist government and that they're supplying them with
Speaker 1: whatever weaponry. An organization that's being used by the people
Speaker 1: that are on the streets in Portland right now. My
Speaker 1: point in all of it, being Joshua, is that there
Speaker 1: may be elements inside this country that are being in
Speaker 1: influenced by this access that may also be a problem
Speaker 1: for the United States when dealing with the outside forces.
Speaker 1: I don't know if your investigation is taking you anywhere there,
Speaker 1: but it certainly is a notion that I've had for
Speaker 1: a while that the enemy from within may be worse
Speaker 1: than the enemy from without any thoughts on that, it
Speaker 1: is true.
Speaker 2: It is one hundred percent true. So I've been working
Speaker 2: on some stuff around this. So some of this goes
Speaker 2: back to the Cold War. Some of it goes back
Speaker 2: to organizations that were started as really like Soviet Front
Speaker 2: organizations under the Common Tern. After the collapse of the
Speaker 2: Soviet Union, a lot of those systems switched their allegiance
Speaker 2: to the Chinese Communist Party.
Speaker 4: So the CCP.
Speaker 2: Became kind of the replacement of what Russia was, replacement
Speaker 2: of the Communist International. Right, they just don't call it that.
Speaker 2: Instead of calling it the Communist International or the Common Tern,
Speaker 2: they call it the China model. They call it Chinese engagement,
Speaker 2: they call it Chinese investment.
Speaker 3: I'll give you a few examples.
Speaker 2: We're aware now that this Neville Singh, this Indian guy
Speaker 2: billionaire working out of China in Shanghai, is one of
Speaker 2: the big funders behind a lot of the far left
Speaker 2: of the United States. People are talking about him. That's
Speaker 2: one of the big stories, but you have a lot
Speaker 2: of other ones. The TIDES Foundation tied in with some
Speaker 2: of that money, sorows money, other things. TIDES Foundation also
Speaker 2: has a lot of influence over Wikipedia. TIDES Foundation has
Speaker 2: investments with Google. Tides Foundation has involvement in a lot
Speaker 2: of the protests. Some of the money for Antifa allegedly
Speaker 2: is running through TIDES and that's kind of the way
Speaker 2: that street goes. You know, BLLL Black Lives Matter. Their
Speaker 2: donation page used to go to the Chinese Progressive Association,
Speaker 2: a Chinese front organization, one of the bigger factions in
Speaker 2: the United States running a lot of these operations, you know,
Speaker 2: Democratic socialis America. Of course, they have some ties to China,
Speaker 2: if you including some of the delegations actually just recently
Speaker 2: doing engagements with China. You can talk about the Rainbow Coalition,
Speaker 2: I nowist trained, i e. China trained organization that just puppeteers.
Speaker 2: Tons of these movements and backs, a lot of politicians
Speaker 2: engage in it. You know, the list goes on. You
Speaker 2: have a you know, Freedom Road Socialists. A lot of
Speaker 2: these organizations have deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party,
Speaker 2: and a lot of these organizations are heavily involved in
Speaker 2: the Chaos and American streets, on the agitation operations, within media.
Speaker 2: Even some government officials part of these networks. And so
Speaker 2: it is, it is concerning, it is inside the country
Speaker 2: as well well.
Speaker 1: I enjoy you on Crossroads and obviously your work with
Speaker 1: the Epic Times, and this is this is a must
Speaker 1: see deep dive into what's really going on with regards
Speaker 1: to China and Venezuela and then of course with the
Speaker 1: other players in this Iran in Russia. Joshua, every time
Speaker 1: I have you on, I feel I'm more informed and
Speaker 1: I feel smarter. I don't know if I am smarter,
Speaker 1: but I feel smarter and that's a good feeling to have.
Speaker 1: And until we talk again, you stay well, okay.
Speaker 2: Always a pleasure.
Speaker 3: Thank you you.
Speaker 1: Bet Epic Times, Joshua, Philip. China is a very very
Speaker 1: very big problem inside our country right now. Not to
Speaker 1: say the least of what's going on with their involvement
Speaker 1: with Venezuela. It is twelve twenty six. I am the
Speaker 1: average American. This is seven hundred WLW com Porty, welcome back.
Speaker 1: It's the average American in for the great American on
Speaker 1: this Thursday. Still to come on the show on nailing
Speaker 1: that big job interview, Nailing the big job interview. Who
Speaker 1: doesn't want to do that? We'll get into that in
Speaker 1: a little bit, among other things. The big story of
Speaker 1: the day, of course, is the NBA betting scandal, yet
Speaker 1: another one. There have been several in the history of
Speaker 1: the NBA, and just a couple of years ago there
Speaker 1: was a big betting scandal involving a Toronto Raptors player,
Speaker 1: Johntay Porter, And of course there was the betting scandal
Speaker 1: that involved an NBA referee about ten fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1: And now today the FBI in a wide ranging arrest roundup,
Speaker 1: complete with two indictments. They have arrested thirty four people,
Speaker 1: two of whom are current NBA personalities. Let's just put
Speaker 1: it that way, because Chauncey Billups is the head coach
Speaker 1: of Portland. At least it was until last night. My
Speaker 1: guess is he's not going to be the head coach
Speaker 1: of Portland anymore. And the other guy of note was
Speaker 1: Miami heat guard Terry Rogier, along with former Cleveland Cavalier
Speaker 1: player and assistant coach Damon Jones. They're all involved in
Speaker 1: one way or another with gambling schemes. Billips, again, the
Speaker 1: coach of the Portland Trailblazers, was arrested in Portland. He
Speaker 1: is charged with a separate indictment away from NBA Gambling
Speaker 1: for allegedly being involved in a wide ranging scheme to
Speaker 1: rig underground poker games back by four of the five
Speaker 1: mafia families in the United States. And there was everything
Speaker 1: that was going on with this particular scheme. There were
Speaker 1: automatic card shufflers that were not, let's say up to
Speaker 1: snuff that they were shuffling cards that were using these
Speaker 1: card games that would benefit the house. There was even
Speaker 1: an X ray table where from beneath the table, you
Speaker 1: know how you lay your cards down, if you're on
Speaker 1: a you're playing you're playing cards, where there was an
Speaker 1: X ray machine that could look up and see what
Speaker 1: the cards were on each particular hand. And not just
Speaker 1: a couple of hands here a couple of hands there,
Speaker 1: but every single hand, and there were people that were
Speaker 1: being built out of tens of thousands of dollars per hand.
Speaker 1: So that was Billips. Rosier was arrested this morning in
Speaker 1: a hotel at Orlando, Florida. He's accused of participating in
Speaker 1: an illegal sports betting scheme using private insider NBA information.
Speaker 1: They lost their season opener to the Magic last night.
Speaker 1: Rosier did not play due to a coach's decision. Sure
Speaker 1: they knew this was coming, and it makes you wonder
Speaker 1: why because both of these players, well the coach and
Speaker 1: the player. But let's talk about Rosier. He's made one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five million dollars in his NBA career
Speaker 1: ten year NBA careers, made one hundred and thirty five
Speaker 1: million dollars. How much could you possibly make by providing
Speaker 1: inside information? He's making twenty five million dollars or was
Speaker 1: supposed to playing this year for the Miami Heat and
Speaker 1: Phillips who had seventeen years as an NBA player, five
Speaker 1: time All Star, one hundred and seven million dollars total,
Speaker 1: as they said he was the head coach of the
Speaker 1: Portland Trailblazers. How much you're gonna make on a card game.
Speaker 1: And it raises the question that if you're into gambling,
Speaker 1: if you're one of those people that go on the
Speaker 1: app and you're doing prop bets and all that, is
Speaker 1: this safe haven to bet anymore? I mean, would you
Speaker 1: go on and bet on an NBA game now knowing
Speaker 1: that this stuff is going on? And I don't gamble
Speaker 1: on NBA games. I don't watch NBA game. Most people
Speaker 1: don't watch the NBA. I mean, I hate to dissillusion
Speaker 1: sports talk hosts all around this country, but the average
Speaker 1: regular season NBA game had an audience of one point
Speaker 1: five million people last year, those for games on ABC, ESPN, TNT,
Speaker 1: and that was down from the previous year million and
Speaker 1: a half people watching a national NBA game. There are
Speaker 1: three hundred and forty million people in this country. Million
Speaker 1: and a half were watching gambling. Probably is what's keeping
Speaker 1: the NBA afloat. Haven't heard from the Commissioner, Adam Silver
Speaker 1: on this yet today, but I want to turn to
Speaker 1: a guy that I have on my show on Sundays
Speaker 1: with regards to the NFL, and Lee Sterling is someone
Speaker 1: who knows, you know, how bets are made, and for
Speaker 1: him to survive and for his business to flourish. He
Speaker 1: has to know that the NBA is on the up
Speaker 1: and up, because if it's not, nobody's going to bet
Speaker 1: on the NBA. Let alone watch it. Lee Sterling, how
Speaker 1: are you on this Thursday? Do we have Lee? I
Speaker 1: think he's online? One? Do we have Lee? Okay?
Speaker 4: Good? Lee?
Speaker 1: How Aary?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 5: I think what we're probably going to seek and is
Speaker 5: we're going to see maybe limits cut down and they
Speaker 5: can always track you.
Speaker 3: I mean the big eye don't lie.
Speaker 5: Just like any crime, you know, murder, any how do
Speaker 5: they catch you your phone? You know, they track you
Speaker 5: wherever you are, whatever bet you're making. As far as
Speaker 5: as wagering, here is concerned.
Speaker 4: And you know they catch people. It's it's it's.
Speaker 5: Everything is electronic now, so you know they there. There's
Speaker 5: always a trail and usually there's someone even if someone's
Speaker 5: maybe making a wager for something for someone else, you know,
Speaker 5: if they're face the jail time, they're going to usually
Speaker 5: end up talking.
Speaker 3: To the FED.
Speaker 5: So the Fed, I think it's like a ninety eight
Speaker 5: and a half ninety nine percent conviction rate. It's that
Speaker 5: way for a reason. The deck is stacked against you.
Speaker 5: So and if you are guilty, uh, it's not. You
Speaker 5: know a number of people that are just going to
Speaker 5: stand there and say, okay, I'll go to trial. Someone's
Speaker 5: going to end up talking and they want the best
Speaker 5: possible deal.
Speaker 4: And then you know, if.
Speaker 5: You're left, if you're the one that's left standing, you're
Speaker 5: in trouble.
Speaker 4: So it's just shocking to me. You know, I can.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying it could, I agree with it, not
Speaker 5: saying I totally understand. But a player, let's say, you
Speaker 5: know who is just a fringe player and he gives
Speaker 5: someone a tip, Okay, nothing, It's obviously not right, but
Speaker 5: I can see it happening, you know, the greed part
Speaker 5: of it. But someone like Chunty Billups, someone who made
Speaker 5: multi multi.
Speaker 4: Means is a head coach making a huge.
Speaker 5: Salary, and then Terry Rose here making almost twenty five
Speaker 5: million dollars per year, four year contract, almost one hundred
Speaker 5: million dollars.
Speaker 4: The fact that they would do.
Speaker 5: This is just it it's almost it's almost unfathomable.
Speaker 1: You know, it goes. Basketball to me has always been
Speaker 1: the most susceptible to this kind of I mean, the
Speaker 1: year before I was born, they had the big college
Speaker 1: basketball point shaving scandal involved several New York City teams.
Speaker 1: And then you know, you page ahead and you get
Speaker 1: to that inside that that referee what was named Tim
Speaker 1: Garritty fifteen twenty years ago, who was providing inside information
Speaker 1: to gamblers. And here you have Rogier and Billups. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, Rogier plays right down where you are. He
Speaker 1: plays for the Miami Heat. And you're right, both of
Speaker 1: these guys have made an excess of one hundred million
Speaker 1: dollars in their careers. So it must be the thrill
Speaker 1: of it, right, it must be. Hey, I'm living on
Speaker 1: the edge a little bit, you know, I'm going to
Speaker 1: do this to amuse myself. Then it always goes back
Speaker 1: to what I say, for a professional athlete, it's not
Speaker 1: the time you're on the court, it's not the time
Speaker 1: you're in practice. It's what you're doing the other twenty
Speaker 1: one hours of the day. And obviously these guys said
Speaker 1: some things going on, but I don't I think this
Speaker 1: is the tip of it. And I really think that
Speaker 1: they're probably going to be as this. As this goes on,
Speaker 1: they're going to find more guys doing this. I just
Speaker 1: firmly believe that basketball is the most susceptible of all
Speaker 1: of these sports.
Speaker 5: What do you think it is because there's only five
Speaker 5: players on the court at one time. Football, if you
Speaker 5: get the one player or baseball one player and baseball
Speaker 5: is nine players. And obviously, you know, throwing the baseball
Speaker 5: in the margin when you hit a baseball between a
Speaker 5: home run and a foul ball is just so minute.
Speaker 5: Football there's twenty two players on the field at one time,
Speaker 5: so one player, unless you've got the quarterback, probably not
Speaker 5: much of an edge. So that's why it's much easier.
Speaker 5: You know, if they just followed my game, it'saw me playing,
Speaker 5: they would think that I'm throwing it all the time.
Speaker 5: So it's just it's a total stupidity on Terry Rosier's part.
Speaker 5: And Chauncey Billups. I think maybe if I'm just making
Speaker 5: a guess, Terry Rosier probably in his downtime does some things.
Speaker 5: Maybe he's not going to be able to play tonight.
Speaker 5: If he does, he doesn't see himself playing more than
Speaker 5: five or ten minutes in the game. And some people
Speaker 5: took advantage of it, I mean for him to gain
Speaker 5: they only played I think something like thirteen thousand dollars
Speaker 5: versus wagers. What are they going to give him three
Speaker 5: five thousand dollars to split it? That's not going to
Speaker 5: make any difference. The case of Chalky Billups, where he
Speaker 5: was maybe involved with a Gambino family.
Speaker 4: No, why, that's out.
Speaker 1: Straight out of the Sopranos. That's straight out of the Sopranos.
Speaker 1: I think this is and I don't know where it's
Speaker 1: going only, but I think this is maybe going to
Speaker 1: be an indictment of Adam Silver. Adam Silver, it seems
Speaker 1: he was the first of the four commissioners to embrace
Speaker 1: legalized gambling, and now he's had he's and that was
Speaker 1: knowing the history he had with that referee Garrity, and
Speaker 1: now this. If I'm an NBA owner, I'm looking at
Speaker 1: this dude saying, wait a minute, this is just sullied
Speaker 1: our entire league and you didn't know what was going on.
Speaker 1: I think he may be in a little hot water
Speaker 1: with his owners.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Tim, donah, He's a totally different situation with an official.
Speaker 4: But like I said, just shows.
Speaker 5: You the different level players have a player involved. Here,
Speaker 5: you have someone Chauntsey Billups involved with maybe rigging some
Speaker 5: machines in another form of gambling. He obviously coached basketball,
Speaker 5: but it doesn't seem like he was involved in fixing
Speaker 5: basketball games. Tim Donnie was a basketball official. It looks
Speaker 5: like you got in debt and the only way he
Speaker 5: could really get out was he thought, was to supply information.
Speaker 1: It's a mess, le Hey, look doesn't affect what you
Speaker 1: and I are going to do on Sunday down at
Speaker 1: the Holy Grail. But for your time today on this
Speaker 1: breaking news, we appreciate it. Thank you, my friend, thanks
Speaker 1: so much. A man, thank there. Yeah, yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: mean Adam Silver is going to get indicted. I just
Speaker 1: mean from his credibility and the leader of a leg
Speaker 1: and now here we are again dealing with yet another
Speaker 1: issue inside the leg. I know he wasn't the commissioner
Speaker 1: when Donna he was the but that was David Stern.
Speaker 1: But it is it's an indictment of his leadership that
Speaker 1: this was going on and he didn't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's I'm if I'm an owner in the NBA right now,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, dude, what what are we doing here? I mean,
Speaker 1: you have these two guys today and you had John
Speaker 1: tay Porter before. Now the real problem is going to
Speaker 1: be because this is how the FEDS work is if
Speaker 1: they get Billups and Rougier in there today or tomorrow whenever,
Speaker 1: and they and they flip and they start naming other names.
Speaker 1: You may hear other names come out of this, but
Speaker 1: this was thirty five people. Thirty four people. Phillips was
Speaker 1: involved in a card game that involved one of the
Speaker 1: four of the five major mafia families. Good lord, and
Speaker 1: you had Billups, who you know, was providing gambling information
Speaker 1: to illegal gamblers, and I'm you know, I'm sorry. I mean,
Speaker 1: the NBA outside of League Cities is an acquired taste nationally.
Speaker 1: The audience for these games is not great. I think
Speaker 1: gambling kind of drives interest in the NBA unless you're
Speaker 1: a season ticket holder and going to the games. So
Speaker 1: they're in a tough spot and we've yet to hear
Speaker 1: from the commissioner on this. He apparently popped up, I
Speaker 1: want to make sure I get the show right.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He was on the Pat McAfee show tuesday and he
Speaker 1: said the league has been working with its sportsbook partners
Speaker 1: to combat attempts at manipulation, so he probably knew that
Speaker 1: this was coming down, but so far, no reaction in
Speaker 1: the wake of this sweeping FBI pickup. Today, of thirty
Speaker 1: four people, it is twelve fifty three. It is the
Speaker 1: average American in for the Great American News Radio seven
Speaker 1: hundred WYLW. So it's inflation any better today than what
Speaker 1: it was a year ago. A year ago we were
Speaker 1: gearing up for the election Donald Trump against Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: and inflation was a big deal. Now we got tariffs
Speaker 1: to worry about. And you know, when you start talking
Speaker 1: about tariffs, people's eyes were on the back of their head.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's money. It's fun, but no, you
Speaker 1: feel it when you go to buy goods, when you
Speaker 1: go to go buy services. I mean, price of coffee
Speaker 1: is through the roof, and a lot of it is
Speaker 1: about to get worse if indeed these tariffs go through
Speaker 1: what the President is suggesting for China on November first.
Speaker 1: Already we've seen a choke back on things that he's
Speaker 1: sending to China, like jet engines and some tech stuff.
Speaker 1: But coming back the other way, it may make things
Speaker 1: a little tight come the holiday season. So what does
Speaker 1: it really mean when you hear tariffs? What does it
Speaker 1: mean to you and me and everybody else walking around
Speaker 1: the street in Cincinnati, and not just something you'd find
Speaker 1: on CNBC or Fox, pisness or whatever. We'll get into
Speaker 1: that and then down the road if you've got a
Speaker 1: job interview coming up, or you think you may how
Speaker 1: to nail it, I mean really nail it and get
Speaker 1: the gig. All of that and much more, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: between or man between now and three o'clock, seven hundred
Speaker 1: WDLW hey hey one ten News radios two one hundred
Speaker 1: WLW the average American for the great American on this Thursday.
Speaker 1: Great to have you with us. I don't say that capriciously,
Speaker 1: for without you, what would I be? I would be
Speaker 1: simply one man sitting in a room by himself, babbling incoherently.
Speaker 1: And why would I have to leave home to do that?
Speaker 1: So the the NBA reeling today thirty four indictments, some
Speaker 1: involving an illegal card game scheme that was run by
Speaker 1: four of the five major mafia families that caught Chauncey Bill,
Speaker 1: the Portland coach. So he was arrested today in Portland.
Speaker 1: And then there was a I suppose inside information that
Speaker 1: was being translated to or transported to in some way
Speaker 1: to organize gamblers by allegedly by Terry Rogier, who plays
Speaker 1: for the Miami Heat, and he was arrested again today.
Speaker 1: I mean, this was so big that it went down
Speaker 1: in New York and they got cash Pattel out of Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. And all the stuff that he's dealing with
Speaker 1: right now to come up and lend his two cents
Speaker 1: to it.
Speaker 6: As you now know, individuals such as Chauncey Billups, Damon Jones,
Speaker 6: and Terry Rozier were taken into custody today former current
Speaker 6: NBA players and coaches. What you don't know is that
Speaker 6: this is an illegal gambling operation and sports rigging operation
Speaker 6: that spanned the course of years. The FBI led a
Speaker 6: coordinative takedown US eleven states to arrest over thirty individuals
Speaker 6: today responsible for this case, which is very much ongoing.
Speaker 1: I think, and this is just me. I think they're
Speaker 1: going to get Billips and Rogier to flip. I think
Speaker 1: you're going to hear other people's names coming under this
Speaker 1: thing tip of the ice. But that's that's how it works, right,
Speaker 1: You get, you get the people in. You know that
Speaker 1: you got, and believe me, the FBI ninety seven ninety
Speaker 1: six percent of the time. They got you. Once. Once
Speaker 1: you're arrested and you're part of an indictment, they got you.
Speaker 1: But maybe they'll go easy on you for whatever prison
Speaker 1: sentence you're going to do. If you flip and you
Speaker 1: name somebody else, I would stand by for that. So
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is he's in this urinating contest with the
Speaker 1: communist Chinese, with the Xijingping, and tariffs are what is
Speaker 1: at stake here because the President believes, I think rightfully so,
Speaker 1: that the Chinese government has been ripping off the United
Speaker 1: States for decades, and so he wants a better deal
Speaker 1: and a fairer deal, and so he is imposing tariffs
Speaker 1: on Chinese imports fifty seven percent, so China restricted exports
Speaker 1: of rare earth minerals that are key to electronics, among
Speaker 1: other things. And now the President has threatened to raise
Speaker 1: tariffs to one hundred and fifty seven percent if no
Speaker 1: trade deal is reached by November first, next week. So
Speaker 1: this sounds like it's all a bunch of you know,
Speaker 1: high stakes chest beating. I'm gonna get you, You're gonna
Speaker 1: get me. But what does it mean to you and me?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: What does it mean to you and me walking around
Speaker 1: the street, just trying to make a goal that trying
Speaker 1: to buy things at the grocery store, fill or tanks
Speaker 1: up with gas, make sure the kids have clothes, make
Speaker 1: sure the mortgage gets paid. What do these tariffs mean
Speaker 1: to us?
Speaker 4: Why?
Speaker 1: How is this going to affect our lives? Standing via
Speaker 1: somebody that probably knows better than the most Dominic, Mezzarindino
Speaker 1: has been at the forefront of not just social media,
Speaker 1: but interaction, business to business and how things that occur
Speaker 1: at the national and international level affect you and me
Speaker 1: in real life. He has been on my show many
Speaker 1: times before. He has been the CEO of many companies,
Speaker 1: and he now runs a business to business company we'll
Speaker 1: tell you about here in just a little bit. But
Speaker 1: I wanted to get him on today because I think
Speaker 1: this is something you're going to be hearing a lot
Speaker 1: about between now and this deadline on November the first,
Speaker 1: and Dominic, how are you on this glorious Thursday doing well?
Speaker 4: How are you doing?
Speaker 3: My friend?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 1: I haven't been affected yet by the tariffs, and in
Speaker 1: any way, shape or form, I think, like most things
Speaker 1: in life, I eventually will be. But let's just talk
Speaker 1: about you know, you, me and everybody else that is
Speaker 1: just walking around on the street. If indeed the November
Speaker 1: deadline comes and goes, and that's just about a week
Speaker 1: away and these tariffs are placed in effect, what does
Speaker 1: that mean for the consumer? What does that mean for us,
Speaker 1: just the regular folk?
Speaker 7: You know, I think you said something pretty critical when
Speaker 7: you said not necessarily affecting. I think in a way
Speaker 7: it's being affected, but almost like that a slow Chinese
Speaker 7: torture trip.
Speaker 3: In terms of the water.
Speaker 7: You know, our prices are not necessarily going down.
Speaker 3: Coffee is higher than it was.
Speaker 7: We don't make coffee in this country, so it is
Speaker 7: directly taroff affected as one example, and I think it's
Speaker 7: that tangents that affects you. Another example is Kentucky bourbon.
Speaker 7: They were shipping to Canada. Canada don't like Kentucky bourbon.
Speaker 7: That's bad. So now you're getting that tangential effect when
Speaker 7: the market says.
Speaker 4: I have friends out of work.
Speaker 7: So I think we are seeing it, but almost like
Speaker 7: that slow and on the side effect, And it's going
Speaker 7: to probably get louder the more we have situations such
Speaker 7: as you know, the beef coming up situation.
Speaker 3: That's a big deal right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Trump wants to go outside the country and
Speaker 1: bring in beef from Australia or someplace. And of course
Speaker 1: the beef industry, particularly those states in the United States
Speaker 1: out west, you know, the cattle country, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas,
Speaker 1: wherever it may be. Not only are the people out
Speaker 1: there not happy about that prospect, but also a lot
Speaker 1: of the GOP senators are. But I think what he's
Speaker 1: trying to do is threat a needle here dominic. Look
Speaker 1: when he came into office, inflation was crazy. It went
Speaker 1: up during the Bide administration. It was infinitely more expensive
Speaker 1: to live then than it is now. So I think
Speaker 1: Trump had had a decision to make. Am I going
Speaker 1: to raise taxes, which no Republican wants to do? Or
Speaker 1: am I going to play the tariff game. He's elected
Speaker 1: to play the tariff game. I didn't see any other
Speaker 1: game he could play if he wanted to get prices down.
Speaker 7: To you, I think it's a tough you know, I'm
Speaker 7: trying to think of the best way of.
Speaker 3: Hitting it. Parents are not down, sorry, is not down.
Speaker 7: It's steady, which is still higher than history. If you
Speaker 7: look at I'm looking at BLS dot Gov but I
Speaker 7: think the challenge on the tariffs becomes when you're tariffing
Speaker 7: things such as coffee. Well, the purpose of the tariff
Speaker 7: tax the local tax consumer. It goes to the federal
Speaker 7: budget and gets the consumer to buy more American goods.
Speaker 3: But I'm pointing to coffee because you.
Speaker 4: Can't do it.
Speaker 3: There is no American coffee. It don't exist. Or seasonal items.
Speaker 7: I mean, god forbid, we have a situation where corn
Speaker 7: has a blight. Has it happened in history? Yeah, the
Speaker 7: diversity of products is the protection. So it's a card
Speaker 7: to be played, but I'm not sure and don't feel
Speaker 7: high confidence. It's the card I want to play at
Speaker 7: times when I just want my morning coffee without drama.
Speaker 1: Well, Trump has got fifty terrifying Chinese imports. There's some
Speaker 1: people that are saying I could go as is two
Speaker 1: hundred percent. The President is saying this week he's going
Speaker 1: to have a fantastic deal done with China by this
Speaker 1: November first deadline. I mean, we've heard the president issue
Speaker 1: deadlines and then deadlines come and go and nothing happens.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's just the way of his world.
Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is if you know
Speaker 1: that this is a problem, and I know that this
Speaker 1: is a problem, one would have to think that the
Speaker 1: people that are inside the Beltway in Washington, particularly those
Speaker 1: inside the White House, have to know it's a problem.
Speaker 1: So how does he get out of this without really
Speaker 1: damaging our own economic base, our GDP? How does he
Speaker 1: get out of it and not look weak to the
Speaker 1: Chinese that.
Speaker 7: Is trying to hit it because I think you know,
Speaker 7: first of all, when we're talking to tariffs, we're discussing
Speaker 7: a machine with thousands of gears.
Speaker 3: So one other example with the China Chinese tariffs.
Speaker 7: Ends of mine in Canada who are happily ordering that
Speaker 7: eight hundred dollars limit and they're ordering products right at
Speaker 7: their house. They're laughing saying I can't you guys can't order,
Speaker 7: but we can, you know. And I think you have
Speaker 7: social media, high communication, people seeing you know, your friends
Speaker 7: online ordering this and this, and you know, look what's happening.
Speaker 7: Is a great example when you mentioned the beef, I
Speaker 7: think it relates to China. When that person is hit.
Speaker 7: You have people who are voting for Trump, nice Ranch
Speaker 7: in Montana, they're hit, Well, they're not going to be
Speaker 7: happy anymore people with China, with trade Paris and China
Speaker 7: who are used to ordering that two dollars phone case. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 7: you know that's a concern.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And and and it doesn't even get into
Speaker 1: the other aspects of dealing with Choanaman. They're they're not
Speaker 1: just a competitor on the international trade market there, they're
Speaker 1: also a military power and they It's been no secret
Speaker 1: that a lot of people, a lot of Chinese nationals
Speaker 1: entered this country over the course of the last four years.
Speaker 1: So there's that sub sub almost like that subdivision working
Speaker 1: over and above what may be going on economically. When
Speaker 1: you're dealing with China. It's never one level, is it.
Speaker 7: When you're dealing with any of this, it's never one level.
Speaker 7: It's you know, you're discussing a great example, the fentanyl
Speaker 7: and the tariffs that started this, all right, you know,
Speaker 7: and we're tiraffing this country due defensean al But the
Speaker 7: me tirafhing is to this and it's really the question
Speaker 7: figuring out that net some gain. Part of what I
Speaker 7: look at every day is all right, so we're adding
Speaker 7: a tiiff to Canada as an example to reduce that
Speaker 7: twenty four pounds defence.
Speaker 3: All that came through.
Speaker 7: But in the process, how many people in the bourbon
Speaker 7: industry have lost jobs? Could we have used that money
Speaker 7: for five extra border guards at that point?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 7: And I'm not saying right nor wrong, des I'm saying
Speaker 7: I can't calculate that. God bless the guy who thinks
Speaker 7: they can. Yeah, do you know what happens now? If
Speaker 7: the Montana guys start going out of business?
Speaker 3: Sure, I'm concerned.
Speaker 7: What happened Argentina starts importing the beef and then our
Speaker 7: beef industry gets a little bit of a hit because
Speaker 7: it isn't it.
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, I'm saying one.
Speaker 7: Hits the other and it becomes a cascating effect.
Speaker 3: But I think for years it is necessarily a good one.
Speaker 1: But I think for years, Dominic we you know, these
Speaker 1: these companies have have Trump says, ripped off. I'll use
Speaker 1: the term. These these countries have benefited from a very
Speaker 1: unfair trade advantage with the United States. We paid more
Speaker 1: for their goods than they would pay for ours, if
Speaker 1: indeed they would they would ever, would they even allow
Speaker 1: those goods into our country? Look at the look at
Speaker 1: the automobile industry, my gosh, for forty years, Japanese imports
Speaker 1: where skyrocking sales of Toyotas and Nissans and whatnot. But
Speaker 1: on the other side, the Japanese weren't all that interested
Speaker 1: in buying our cars in the United States, if indeed
Speaker 1: it was even allowed by their government. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I think he's got a point that there's got to
Speaker 1: be some sort of balance, and I think he's using
Speaker 1: the specter of inflation and curbing inflation and money back
Speaker 1: to the American public with all of these tariffs that
Speaker 1: he's announcing.
Speaker 7: You, I think you're spot on, because you know, when.
Speaker 3: You mentioned the Japanese autos is a great example.
Speaker 7: No matter how much you tear Japan, I will bet
Speaker 7: you they will not buy more cars.
Speaker 4: No matter what you do.
Speaker 7: Not big, cause we're producing bad cars nor good They
Speaker 7: don't fit on the road. Tokyo. The cars ended the
Speaker 7: size of a hummer. We produce big cars for a
Speaker 7: population that don't want big cars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think buying large. I think buy and large.
Speaker 1: And this is not to cast an over arching umbrella,
Speaker 1: but I think in the United States we revere the
Speaker 1: automobile more than most countries out out there. Most countries
Speaker 1: look at the automobile is just to get from point
Speaker 1: A to point B. We as a society look at
Speaker 1: it as some sort of luxury point.
Speaker 7: I agree. I also will add to the mix. I
Speaker 7: think when you're using all these factors, all these examples,
Speaker 7: one of the things that strikes me is just how
Speaker 7: intertwined you're great hit spot on we're never gonna tell
Speaker 7: more cars to Japan, but also we loved the automobile.
Speaker 7: Is it bad that we're getting in Japanese cars or
Speaker 7: is it good because it's making our manufacturers say we
Speaker 7: better make a chief of car. They're just doing a
Speaker 7: great job and it lights a fire. So I you know,
Speaker 7: I am much more personally the advocate that free trade
Speaker 7: is great.
Speaker 3: But I think my overall theme is you're talking about
Speaker 3: complex issues breaking them down into simple in terms of
Speaker 3: you know, this is crazy with Argentina, this is crazy
Speaker 3: with this, this is crazy.
Speaker 4: With that, and all the memes.
Speaker 3: We're in a mean world.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I don't think you can calculate the net result.
Speaker 3: Of all these moving pieces.
Speaker 7: Yeah on reaction, Yeah, it's not going to necessarily get
Speaker 7: us where we want to be.
Speaker 1: Right now, Well, well, the big thing is we'll see
Speaker 1: we're chatted with Dominic Dominic Meserindino x, CEO of retail
Speaker 1: wire dot com, current CEO of rtmnexus dot com. And
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy has been ahead of the curve
Speaker 1: on everything with regard to social media internet media for
Speaker 1: over thirty years. Okay, So my gut tells me that
Speaker 1: November one is going to come and go and nothing
Speaker 1: really is going to change. It just seems to be
Speaker 1: the trend here. My also, my other gut tells me
Speaker 1: that this is the big one. You know, he gets
Speaker 1: it done with China, and you know all the other
Speaker 1: little gnats that he's done businesses with kind of like
Speaker 1: fly off the map, you know, the smaller countries. I
Speaker 1: think China and to a lesser extent but still significant,
Speaker 1: India are probably the two big ones he's got left
Speaker 1: with these tariffs. And then that's it. What do you
Speaker 1: sense happens on November one, if anything, and what do
Speaker 1: you sense will happen when and have he and she
Speaker 1: sit down for a face to face meeting on all
Speaker 1: of this.
Speaker 7: My current current concern is that I think we're playing
Speaker 7: a little bit uh.
Speaker 3: Game of chicken.
Speaker 7: We're playing a game of Chicken with a beast, because
Speaker 7: right now, for one example, as a predictor, Canada saw
Speaker 7: these turfs and county went, okay, I'll try to go
Speaker 7: with other countries, thank you very much. China is sort
Speaker 7: of doing that now. They are having major investments, for
Speaker 7: example in Africa. We're not touching it as pronounced as
Speaker 7: they are, and you're seeing those infrastructure moves. So I
Speaker 7: worry that you don't play chicken between two mac trucks.
Speaker 7: Someone's going to get hurt. Maybe there's a way of
Speaker 7: navigating that I am not prepared enough to say, and
Speaker 7: that's I will take.
Speaker 4: That right away them.
Speaker 7: Maybe this way I don't see it, and that's okay,
Speaker 7: But I am concerned. November second, all these pieces playing,
Speaker 7: we're not going to see right now that maybe China
Speaker 7: starts heavily trading with this in this partner and they
Speaker 7: just look at us like, what's happening now?
Speaker 3: You're reading about soybean is a great example. Soybeans farmers
Speaker 3: are saying, we're not selling soybeans to China as much anymore.
Speaker 7: They don't they're buying nail and they're just happily saying,
Speaker 7: no worries, I got this and our poor farmers are
Speaker 7: throwing the crop on the ground.
Speaker 3: Well, not necessarily a great move now, No, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Dominic, good stuff as always.
Speaker 3: My friend, thank you so much for calling me.
Speaker 1: You stay well and you know we will call again.
Speaker 3: Thanks amazing, we'll talk too, and hopefully love the wording.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love the word amazing, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 1: The rare earth restrictions China, I mean, this is this
Speaker 1: is just retaliatory. You know what's going to happen. We
Speaker 1: just talked about it. They're going to get together. There's
Speaker 1: going to be something they're gonna punt whatever was going
Speaker 1: to happen November. First down the road. My guess is
Speaker 1: that Trump and and She meet face to face and
Speaker 1: they come away with something of framework and everything settles down.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, it's a giant, urinating contest between
Speaker 1: these two countries, and I'm not sure who's winning right now.
Speaker 1: If you put that in juxtaposition to what we talked
Speaker 1: about at noon, in that twelve to twelve thirty hour
Speaker 1: about China. Now with Russia and with Iran and Venezuela,
Speaker 1: it may be that there's more at stake than just
Speaker 1: a one on one between China and the United States. Well,
Speaker 1: what does that mean to you and me? It sounds
Speaker 1: like we're going to be paying more for stuff that
Speaker 1: never changes, does It doesn't matter who's in office, we
Speaker 1: always seem to pay more for stuff one twenty seven
Speaker 1: The average American in for the great American. I hope
Speaker 1: it's a good Thursday for you. It is for me
Speaker 1: because I get to spended with you on seven hundred
Speaker 1: w wel w.
Speaker 3: There he is. I mean old Faithful.
Speaker 1: We called him old Faithful, not old Yellow. Shooting it
Speaker 1: off at shooting it off, that's right.
Speaker 3: Oh, hello, hello, bye, I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 1: Seg I'm sitting here. Where are you? You're supposed to
Speaker 1: be in here with me?
Speaker 4: Can brew? I am sitting in the antido where I'm
Speaker 4: feeling like Jim Nance today.
Speaker 1: Okay, you sound like you're coming in from Mars, but
Speaker 1: you're at a golf tournament.
Speaker 4: Well it's the seven hundred WLW. iHeartMedia. Bengals sponsors at
Speaker 4: golf outing today.
Speaker 1: Yet another thing I wasn't invited to.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I guess you got to be a Bengal sponsor.
Speaker 1: Well, I sponsored angles my voice you with the voice

Speaker 4: step closer to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. All three,
Speaker 4: all three have, all three have are one of thirty
Speaker 4: four players now in the Hall of Fame Blue Ribbon
Speaker 4: Committee that are still in the running for enshrinement.
Speaker 1: In the Canton Well well, he Ken Anderson should be
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. There shouldn't be a Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame with that ka being in it and of
Speaker 1: the story that is correct.
Speaker 4: Of course, the big story and the big story in
Speaker 4: sports today is the scandal involving the National Basketball Association
Speaker 4: where Portland Trail Plazers coach Chauncey Phillips Miami Heat guard
Speaker 4: Terry Rosier were arrested this morning as part of an
Speaker 4: investigation and related to illegal gambling. Also was arrested today
Speaker 4: former Cleveland Cavaliers player and assistant coach Damon Jones. And
Speaker 4: that is what what what they're accused of doing. I
Speaker 4: don't think they're going to be seeing a basketball court
Speaker 4: anytime soon with jail cell around it.
Speaker 1: Well, you're gonna get some guys. They're gonna flip and
Speaker 1: they're going to give some other names. That's what I
Speaker 1: think is gonna happen. They're gonna flip me, get.
Speaker 3: Some other names.
Speaker 4: I think you're right about that. And then let's see
Speaker 4: soccer news. Evander from Cincinnati one of three players up
Speaker 4: for the MLS MVP Award. Nick Haglan is up for
Speaker 4: Comeback Player of the Year. But this is an outrage.
Speaker 4: Ken Brew Pat Noonan not up for Coach of the Year.
Speaker 4: Maybe three of a. Philadelphia, Vancouver and San Diego their
Speaker 4: coaches are up for the prestigious honor, but not Pat Noonan.
Speaker 4: That to me as an outrage.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I don't know. I mean, I could
Speaker 1: see where he wouldn't be. I'm not sure he would
Speaker 1: win it if he was up for it. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's just other teams that just did better this year,
Speaker 1: not the least of which are you know the team
Speaker 1: that won the Supporter Shield Philadelphia did better. Yep, yeah,
Speaker 1: and you saw that MESSI signed a contract extension today, right,
Speaker 1: Messi signed a contract extension with Inner Miami till through

Speaker 4: old usf A for the four seal future seg.

Speaker 1: Back fifty years ago tonight after playing four straight on
Speaker 1: the road. They came home to play the Edmonton Oilers,
Speaker 1: and do you know seg who voice was inside Riverfront Coliseum.
Speaker 4: I think that's the musical genius of seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 4: That would be Kenneth brew Day.
Speaker 1: So this is what I this is, This is the
Speaker 1: story from fifty years ago Tonight'd say. Of course they
Speaker 1: come on the ice and I opened the microphone. I say,
Speaker 1: here come the stars, and they lead them out. I
Speaker 1: think it was no man. Lapointe was the goaltender. He
Speaker 1: leads him out, leads him out, and there's circling around
Speaker 1: the ice. Well, the PR guy for the Stingers gave
Speaker 1: me a list of fifty groups I was supposed to
Speaker 1: welcome that night, fifty groups, and I was told I
Speaker 1: was told, don't start introducing these groups until the players
Speaker 1: hit the ice for the warm up. So I'm going
Speaker 1: and we want to welcome, you know, the Old Timers
Speaker 1: Club from Westchester, and of course we also want to
Speaker 1: welcome the Women's Day Center from you know, from Erlanger.
Speaker 1: And I'm going through. I get about twenty twenty twenty
Speaker 1: of the fifty end and the referee guy named Bill
Speaker 1: Friday comes skating up to him leans down me and
Speaker 1: he says to me, hey, hey, this ain't Toledo, Ohio.
Speaker 1: Shut up. We're getting ready to play.
Speaker 4: Wow. And that's it.
Speaker 1: So they dropped the puck and uh and they're calling
Speaker 1: down from like the press pot. Why is just saying
Speaker 1: the rest of the names. I said, because the referee
Speaker 1: just told me to shut up. It ain't Toledo, Ohio.
Speaker 4: I swear to god he was a lucidary referee, Bill
Speaker 4: Friday can Brew and you know, I mean, what was
Speaker 4: he gonna do? So he had a penalty box or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I could have gotten a delayed game
Speaker 1: penalty for the franchise. But it was fifty years ago tonight,
Speaker 1: the first home game of the now late and momented
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Stingers, the likes of Dale Smidsmo and Ron Plumb,
Speaker 1: Bernie Chuck Sab Chuck claub Larrose, Jacques lo cop Here, Geeta.

Speaker 4: I know number seven, he was number seven, well not
Speaker 4: not yeah, he came later, but numbers later on. I
Speaker 4: think he was. I think he started his career with
Speaker 4: the Nordeas.
Speaker 1: Seven years fifty years ago tonight, number seven was Brian
Speaker 1: Soupy Campbell. Oh boy, I'm looking at the media guide
Speaker 1: right here. I kept the media guide that that they
Speaker 1: had there, and they had they had Frank Beaton as
Speaker 1: one of their up and coming stars. And the picture
Speaker 1: of him that they have, he's got a black eye.
Speaker 4: It's buffy there you go, you know, I mean, that's yea.
Speaker 4: I should have known that, ken Brew.
Speaker 7: I love that.

Speaker 4: What jack?
Speaker 5: It comes back to the st.
Speaker 4: Checked away by Afro.
Speaker 1: That's what was broadcast on seven hundred wyl W. How
Speaker 1: about that?
Speaker 4: And I remember I remember going down there a few
Speaker 4: times to ken Brew when they were in business that
Speaker 4: teams would actually change cities, uh like after at the
Speaker 4: institute and they would still they would still wear their
Speaker 4: old jerseys, but the team moved to another to another city.
Speaker 1: Right, the Denver Spurs became the Ottawa Civics. At like
Speaker 1: three o'clock in the afternoon and they're still skating around
Speaker 1: with the Denver Spurs. Y'all was unbelievable stuff. Well I
Speaker 1: want you. I'll talk to you in a little bit
Speaker 1: here from wherever you're at. But tell everybody out there
Speaker 1: we said.
Speaker 4: Hey, you got it, ken Brew and uh. In honor
Speaker 4: of a beautiful day here in the Tri State, we
Speaker 4: leave you with the immortal words of the.
Speaker 7: Stude behind the Campbell Campbell reaching for the a far quarter.
Speaker 4: The stores.
Speaker 1: Andy Mack did it by himself. No color commentator did
Speaker 1: it by himself. All right, seg we'll talk to you
Speaker 1: in an hour. It's one fifty one News Radio, seven
Speaker 1: hundred w l W Show eight on this Thursday, and
Speaker 1: good afternoon. It's the average American in for the great American.
Speaker 1: Glad you are with us. We're here right till three
Speaker 1: o'clock today, and then I believe Rocky is back. You'll
Speaker 1: join Eddie and all things will be normal on seven
Speaker 1: hundred WLW. There is there is data that is out there.
Speaker 1: In fact, there was a report that came out maybe
Speaker 1: two three weeks ago Fletch Jobs twenty twenty five State
Speaker 1: of the Workforce Report, and it basically said that half
Speaker 1: of us forty eight percent, we'll be looking for a
Speaker 1: new job in twenty twenty six and that seventy six
Speaker 1: percent of us who will be looking for a new job.
Speaker 1: Seventy six percent of us will be looking for a
Speaker 1: new job because they simply don't want to work in
Speaker 1: a business environment five days a week. Prefer to work
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form at home. And as
Speaker 1: we know, many companies are saying, eh, you know, we
Speaker 1: got this mortgage on this building and we want to
Speaker 1: use it, and so you need to come here and
Speaker 1: work for us here, not necessarily at home. And with
Speaker 1: some folks it's not going over very well. The bottom
Speaker 1: line is a lot of people are going to be
Speaker 1: looking for a new job, and it's tough out there.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of jobs that are listed that
Speaker 1: simply aren't open. Companies list them for various reasons, maybe
Speaker 1: for EOE or maybe just to say, hey, we have
Speaker 1: this opening, and then they'll graze to see what candidates
Speaker 1: are out there when and if they have to hire somebody,
Speaker 1: not if they want to hire somebody. So there are
Speaker 1: a lot of candidates for jobs that are actually open.
Speaker 1: So invariably you're going to do an interview if you
Speaker 1: apply for a new job. First interview might be a
Speaker 1: telephone interview or a zoom interview, and if you're lucky,
Speaker 1: maybe you'll get face to FaceTime inside the business itself.
Speaker 1: And then you're on the spot, because now you've got
Speaker 1: to sell yourself and you've got to tell perspective employers
Speaker 1: exactly what you can do, and it better be concise
Speaker 1: and clear and to the point.
Speaker 4: What do you do?
Speaker 1: Well, maybe, if you're smart, you turn to somebody that
Speaker 1: knows all about these things. Let's do that. Let's turn
Speaker 1: to career coach Laura Brown, who's co authored a new book,
Speaker 1: Interview Speak What your Interviewer Really wants to Know, and
Speaker 1: she's also besides that new book, you can find her
Speaker 1: at Careercoffee break dot com. I love that career coffee bok. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Laura Brown, Welcome to seven hundred WYLW. How are you
Speaker 1: on this glorious Thursday.
Speaker 9: I am great. Thank you so much for having me today.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're here because you know, I've gone through
Speaker 1: the interview process a lot in my life. Not so
Speaker 1: much anymore, you know, I'm kind of like at the
Speaker 1: end of the rope here. But the fact of the
Speaker 1: matter is that during my time I was on the
Speaker 1: spot and I would get called in after an audition
Speaker 1: tape was seting people like what I saw, what they saw,
Speaker 1: or in case of radio, what they heard. And it's
Speaker 1: not not an unpleasant experience, but it's an experience. You
Speaker 1: better be prepared for. Nothing worse than going into an
Speaker 1: interview without being prepared for what you want to say
Speaker 1: and what the interview er may want to ask you there.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine a worse feeling in the world than
Speaker 1: being unprepared for that. Why do so many people go
Speaker 1: into job interviews unprepared?
Speaker 4: You know, it's so.
Speaker 9: Funny that you said, because I totally agree with you.
Speaker 9: I need to be prepared, but I have plenty of
Speaker 9: people tell me, no, I want to be authentic. I'm
Speaker 9: just going to wing it. I'm going to show up
Speaker 9: as I am.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 9: I do think you should be authentic, but I think
Speaker 9: you should be authentically prepared, because if you're not prepared
Speaker 9: for common questions, what's going to happen is they're going
Speaker 9: to ask you something and you're going to choke and
Speaker 9: you're going to later on think to yourself, Man, I
Speaker 9: wish I had said that, or I wish I hadn't
Speaker 9: said that. So that's why it's so important to be
Speaker 9: prepared and be ready and show up as your best self.
Speaker 1: I don't think many interviewers, whether it be HR or
Speaker 1: the actual manager you're going to be working for. I
Speaker 1: don't think it takes much for someone like that to
Speaker 1: see somebody who's winging it or unprepared sitting in front
Speaker 1: of them. You've done one, two, three, four, or five interviews,
Speaker 1: you pretty much pick up on the fact that, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, this person is here and I don't even
Speaker 1: know why I asked them here in the first place, right.
Speaker 9: You know, And you bring up a really good point
Speaker 9: because absolutely interviewers pick up on it right away, and
Speaker 9: the message they get is not, oh, this person is
Speaker 9: trying to be authentic. The message they get is this
Speaker 9: person isn't interested enough in this job to spend a
Speaker 9: little time preparing and reviewing the job description or getting
Speaker 9: ready for answers. So if they're not that interested, we're
Speaker 9: not moving them forward. So that's all you have to
Speaker 9: be prepared.
Speaker 1: Okay, So how do how do you prepare yourself? I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know everybody does it differently because everybody
Speaker 1: is different, but there have to be some boilerplate things
Speaker 1: that you do before you go into a job interview.
Speaker 1: So what would be like the top three or four
Speaker 1: big things.
Speaker 9: Well, so let me tell you, first of all what
Speaker 9: they're looking for so you can be prepared for it.
Speaker 9: So the first thing is they want to know can.
Speaker 5: You do the job?
Speaker 9: So you need to know you know on your resume
Speaker 9: you can show you can.
Speaker 1: Do the job.
Speaker 9: And the second one, which most people don't get, is
Speaker 9: can you do and are you excited about this job?
Speaker 9: So preparation is about really taking a look at the
Speaker 9: job description. And in the book, we deconstruct a job
Speaker 9: description and we show you how can you take the
Speaker 9: job description and pick up on possible questions they're going
Speaker 9: to ask and then think about what would be a
Speaker 9: way to answer it and show I'm a motivated and
Speaker 9: enthusiastic about this job. In addition, now a whole bunch
Speaker 9: of common questions tell me about yourself, why do you
Speaker 9: want this job? That you should be prepared for. And
Speaker 9: part of that preparation is thinking about a couple of examples.
Speaker 9: So what's a good example when I did this, or
Speaker 9: what's a great story I can tell here? So when
Speaker 9: they ask you these questions, you're just pulling out the
Speaker 9: answers that you're already ready for.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sure, I mean if it's most companies want an answer
Speaker 1: to you know, we make money, how can you help
Speaker 1: us make money? Tell us how you can help us
Speaker 1: be a better and more profitable company. I think that's
Speaker 1: probably one that would stand out to me if I
Speaker 1: were going into a job interview. The other one would
Speaker 1: be tell us how you tell us how you operate
Speaker 1: as a member of the team. What kind of teammate
Speaker 1: are you? And I just think they're just so certain
Speaker 1: things you have to you have to prepare yourself for.
Speaker 1: Imagine yourself as a leader, if you ever got to
Speaker 1: a leadership position, what would be the important things for you?
Speaker 1: I think I think you can rehearse those. But then
Speaker 1: there's the tendency to memorize answers and not come off
Speaker 1: as authentic. So how do you how do you balance that?
Speaker 9: Oh, I'm so glad you said that, because absolutely part
Speaker 9: of preparation is coming up with a good answer, but
Speaker 9: you definitely don't want to memorize it. And actually, in
Speaker 9: the book we have we have some bad examples, and
Speaker 9: one of them is somebody obviously memorized uh, And the
Speaker 9: answer and then gets interrupted and then goes back to
Speaker 9: the beginning because you can't remember from the middle. You
Speaker 9: never want to do that and instead instead what you
Speaker 9: want to do, And I've had plenty of have some
Speaker 9: notes in front of you, or have some bullet points,
Speaker 9: so it shouldn't be word for word.
Speaker 4: It should just be.
Speaker 9: For example, if the interviewer asked me, why are you
Speaker 9: interested in this job? I should have you know, two
Speaker 9: or three bullet points and yes, I probably should have
Speaker 9: said it out loud and practiced. And I also recommend
Speaker 9: timing yourself so you don't give a five minute answer,
Speaker 9: you give a one or two minute answer, but just
Speaker 9: have a couple of bullet points and have a story
Speaker 9: and make it quick rather than just think about, well,
Speaker 9: I'm really not sure what to say here and and
Speaker 9: I'm so afraid that I have to memorize it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean, you want to tell people what
Speaker 1: you can do or what you have done to help
Speaker 1: other companies you've been with. You don't want to seem braggadocious.
Speaker 1: There's kind of an art to it, but you know,
Speaker 1: you got to be yourself because if you start, you know,
Speaker 1: getting into a rhythm about what I have to say
Speaker 1: it this way, I have to say it that way.
Speaker 1: Then you don't come off as authentic, and you probably
Speaker 1: forget some things that are important that you want to say.
Speaker 1: But it's it's kind of a fine line, isn't it Anymore.
Speaker 1: You've got to you've got to make sure you sell yourself,
Speaker 1: but you also have to make sure after you make
Speaker 1: the sale, you get out of the room.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, of course. Yeah.
Speaker 9: So you bring up a really good point and you
Speaker 9: said bragging, and I hear that concern a lot. Oh,
Speaker 9: I don't want to brag, but it's not about bragging
Speaker 9: and making yourself too big. What you need to do
Speaker 9: is connect what you do your accomplishments to how as
Speaker 9: you said, how you can help the company accomplishments at
Speaker 9: this job. This is what I've done in the past.
Speaker 9: This is how I could help in the future. And
Speaker 9: it's really important that you also balance using the words
Speaker 9: I and we because you mentioned team. So if the
Speaker 9: whole time you only say I did this, I did this,
Speaker 9: I did this. As the interview, I'm going to say, hmm,
Speaker 9: I wonder if this person can work with other people
Speaker 9: or on the other side, I've had plenty of interviewers
Speaker 9: that all they do is say we we WE week
Speaker 9: And so I thought, huh, that's great that the person
Speaker 9: is good with their team, but what did they actually do?
Speaker 9: And so you've got to think about you want to
Speaker 9: say both of those things and make sure that you
Speaker 9: have the information. The other thing is you can use
Speaker 9: a framework to really get the message across.
Speaker 4: And we have a couple of them.
Speaker 9: So like soa R sore, tell somebody, here's the situation,
Speaker 9: here's the obstacle. I was able to work on action A.
Speaker 9: So this is what I did, and this is what
Speaker 9: the team did, and here's the result. And this is
Speaker 9: the kind of result I can have for your company
Speaker 9: in this job. So making sure that you're really connecting
Speaker 9: it to this job.
Speaker 1: You've worked in business, you've worked. It's saying here you
Speaker 1: were a senior talent director of talent development for a
Speaker 1: global tech company. What is the one question you asked
Speaker 1: when you were looking for a perspective employee? What was
Speaker 1: the one question that you had to have answered or
Speaker 1: it was like this person's a non starter.
Speaker 9: Well, and then so this is going to sound funny
Speaker 9: because this is my favorite question. I always ask this
Speaker 9: tell me about yourself. And it sounds so general. But
Speaker 9: here's why I love it because in like this is
Speaker 9: typically in the first you know, two minutes of an interview,
Speaker 9: I really want to find out first of all, if
Speaker 9: there are red flags, what are they going to say,
Speaker 9: how prepared are they? What do they really want me
Speaker 9: to know about that? And so that gives me some
Speaker 9: indications about where we're going with this. And then I
Speaker 9: also really want to ask them, why do you want
Speaker 9: this job? Because again, if their answers are general, well,
Speaker 9: I'm looking for a kind of job that does this,
Speaker 9: And I'm thinking, Okay, I know you're looking for a
Speaker 9: job because you're in front of me, but why do
Speaker 9: you want this job? And if they then can connect
Speaker 9: to I'm excited about these opportunities. I want to do
Speaker 9: this and really connect it, then I think, Okay, if
Speaker 9: I hire this person, they're probably a good chance they
Speaker 9: will stay for a while rather than just ooh, I
Speaker 9: happen to be a job you know that they're looking at.
Speaker 9: So I really want to know this job as opposed
Speaker 9: to yeah, I just want something in the future.
Speaker 1: Exactly. There's nothing more expensive for a company than to
Speaker 1: keep hiring employees, and if the churn rate is pretty high,
Speaker 1: chances are well you have probably probably. If the churn
Speaker 1: rate is high, you have bad people conducting the interview,
Speaker 1: you get bad candidates, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you're back at it again in six or nine months.
Speaker 3: Lord Brown's are exactly.
Speaker 1: She is the author of interviews speaking what your interviewer
Speaker 1: really wants to know. She's got a master's degree in
Speaker 1: human resources, and she's the creator of coffee break dot Com.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing on coffee break dot com we find what
Speaker 1: dark ROAs, medium ROAs? What are we flying on it?
Speaker 9: What are you offering here, Laura, Oh, it's careercoffee break
Speaker 9: dot com. And I like to think I'm giving you.
Speaker 9: I'm giving you tips to sip with your coffee in
Speaker 9: the morning because it's quick career tip, quick career tips.
Speaker 9: And if they go there, they can actually get a
Speaker 9: forty discount on the books from the publisher. And I've
Speaker 9: also got online classes to help you get a raise
Speaker 9: at work or help you to negotiate your higher salary
Speaker 9: at your next job.
Speaker 1: Career coffee break dot com. Did you ever I suppose
Speaker 1: interview somebody and you thought this is it. This is
Speaker 1: the person and the way companies operate. Now you're going
Speaker 1: to do something that is not person to person, you
Speaker 1: might do it. You might you might do it in
Speaker 1: a zoom. You might even do it just in a
Speaker 1: back and forth chat on someplace. And then eventually you
Speaker 1: get that person in the room and man, you're excited.
Speaker 1: You think this is the person. They get in there
Speaker 1: and they absolutely drop the ball. Why if so, if
Speaker 1: that ever happened, what was it about that person when
Speaker 1: they dropped the ball? What was there drop the ball moment?
Speaker 1: Besides they're freezing perhaps on the question and tell me
Speaker 1: about yourself.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And it's so typically when it's something like that,
Speaker 9: they've come across really really well and their answers are good,
Speaker 9: and so maybe they've been really good at preparing. But
Speaker 9: then they come in and then or again on zoom
Speaker 9: or you know, there in the office, and then you
Speaker 9: ask them something like why did you leave your last job?
Speaker 9: So you ask them sort of a more difficult question,
Speaker 9: and then they stumble because they're like ugh, or sometimes
Speaker 9: and I haven't done this, but sometimes you ask them
Speaker 9: kind of a weird question, which is a weird question
Speaker 9: might be tell me what sort of superhero you would
Speaker 9: be if you were superior, because I want to hear
Speaker 9: how they handle something when there's no right answer and
Speaker 9: when they haven't been able to prepare. What I really
Speaker 9: want to find out is how do you think and
Speaker 9: if they're really sort of stunted or if they get
Speaker 9: annoyed or something like that and think, Mmmm, this is
Speaker 9: not the right person. So you have to not only
Speaker 9: be prepared if you are the person that's sitting in
Speaker 9: front of me, you have to be ready for weird
Speaker 9: questions or questions you don't like, or questions you don't expect,
Speaker 9: because I want to see how do you handle that,
Speaker 9: because in real life and work, things don't go the
Speaker 9: way that you expect.
Speaker 3: You need to show me that you can handle that.
Speaker 1: I said in a job interview, Laura, Gosh, this is
Speaker 1: going back maybe thirty five forty years ago. I would
Speaker 1: I don't expect you to know this, but I was
Speaker 1: a television anchored news sports, and so I'm at a
Speaker 1: television station and I'm an interviewed for a job and
Speaker 1: there's three people in the room interviewing me, and one
Speaker 1: person asks me, do you like dogs? I looked at her,
Speaker 1: and I said, yeah, no, I liked dog. What's your
Speaker 1: favorite dog? And I'm thinking the only thing I could
Speaker 1: think of was Rottweiler. And I don't know why. I
Speaker 1: don't particularly like Rottweiler's. I ought more for, like, you know,
Speaker 1: but whatever she was and I'm like, I know. My
Speaker 1: jaw had to hit the ground when she asked it,
Speaker 1: and like one guy is nodding, yeah, Rottweiler's. I like it,
Speaker 1: and like her she backs up like it's like the
Speaker 1: worst thing in the world. And I walked out of
Speaker 1: that job interview. It was out of town. It was
Speaker 1: I had to fly out of there, and I said,
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't even want this job. This
Speaker 1: person sitting here asking me what kind of dog do
Speaker 1: I like, It's like, what do you care? I'm not
Speaker 1: bringing the dog to work, so you're hiring me, you're
Speaker 1: not hiring my dog. But anyway, but I think they
Speaker 1: did that. My point in all of this is they
Speaker 1: did that for a reaction. And should you be prepared
Speaker 1: for a question that has nothing to do with the job,
Speaker 1: just so they can gauge your reaction to a question.
Speaker 9: I'm that's exactly it. So, so if I were asked
Speaker 9: you know, what kind of dog do you like?
Speaker 3: Again?
Speaker 4: Weird question.
Speaker 1: That that don't say.
Speaker 4: No, I wouldn't, so.
Speaker 9: I might say something, well, you know, I I would
Speaker 9: like a dog, you know. I like dogs that are
Speaker 9: that are big and friendly and nice, So I think
Speaker 9: like a golden retriever. So I've given a reason why. Okay,
Speaker 9: but isn't that a nice answer?
Speaker 4: I want to know, is right?
Speaker 9: All I want to know is that I can you know,
Speaker 9: I can answer something that I that it's not expected
Speaker 9: that I have a reason there and it comes across
Speaker 9: as a as a positive answer, So it doesn't matter.
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, you could pick up about any
Speaker 9: dog as long as there is a reason why you
Speaker 9: say it and it's a reasonable reason.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, the only beauty for me is is that the
Speaker 1: three people that I interviewed with, they were all gone
Speaker 1: within ten months.
Speaker 7: So okay, this is really interesting, right.
Speaker 1: A wise maneuver on my part. Okay, where do we
Speaker 1: Where do we get to interview? Speak? What your interview?
Speaker 1: Your interviewer or really wants to know. I'm sure it's
Speaker 1: on Amazon, but where else can we find?
Speaker 9: Well, of course it's on Amazon again, but come to
Speaker 9: careercoffee break dot Com because you can get the forty
Speaker 9: percent discount on Amazon, you won't get the discount, So
Speaker 9: my publisher really wants to incentivize you. Because the whole
Speaker 9: point is that you never know when you're going to
Speaker 9: get an interview, is you pointed out? You know in
Speaker 9: the year twenty twenty six a lot of us are
Speaker 9: going to be interviewed again. So start now, get ready,
Speaker 9: Start to understand what you need to do so you're
Speaker 9: prepared when a friend of yours said, hey, there's something
Speaker 9: at my company, maybe you should apply for that, be
Speaker 9: prepared now.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And you offer online courses for people to earn
Speaker 1: more money at work. Is that at the Careercoffee Break
Speaker 1: dot com as well?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes it is.
Speaker 9: I love to help people make more money, and I
Speaker 9: help people to ask for raises, and when they do
Speaker 9: get that job offer, there are some keys I give
Speaker 9: them to how do you get the highest money possible?
Speaker 9: Because the money is really important and people get really
Speaker 9: nervous about asking for more. But absolutely you need to
Speaker 9: negotiate for yourself.
Speaker 1: Well, Laura, the next time you see a Rottweilers, think
Speaker 1: of me.
Speaker 9: Okay again, I certainly will. And then it's some wonderful
Speaker 9: talking to you.

Speaker 1: And it was in Dallas, so it was in Houston.
Speaker 1: And they asked me do you like dogs. I'm like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I love dogs. And the only dog I think I
Speaker 1: don't even think I had a dog at the time
Speaker 1: going there. I think it was Rottwiler. And the woman
Speaker 1: that asked the question, there was two guys and a
Speaker 1: woman in this in this room, and she felt almost
Speaker 1: backward in her chair and her eyes got like saucer cups,
Speaker 1: and it's like the two guys are like, yeah, yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: well yeah yeah yeah, we like Rottwilers. And I'm thinking
Speaker 1: to myself, why are they asking me this? And then

Speaker 1: I hope that they don't. I hope they don't put
Speaker 1: him in the Hall of Fame after he's gone. You know,
Speaker 1: they did that to Ken Stadler. They did that to
Speaker 1: Ken Stabler. I just think that's so wrong. You know,
Speaker 1: if the man is Hall of Fame, where they put
Speaker 1: him in while he and his family can enjoy it.
Speaker 4: Let's see what soccer ken brew. Of course, our beloved

Speaker 4: of three players up for the MLS MVP vote, and
Speaker 4: Nick Haglin, the Pride to Cincinnati, looks like he's up

Speaker 1: Well, that would be a big comeback. I mean, if
Speaker 1: this hit thing holds up, he's he's done well coming
Speaker 1: back from that injury. Absolutely it should.
Speaker 3: Be that way.
Speaker 4: Yes, give it and that of course to the big
Speaker 4: news of the day is the NBA as gambling scandal.
Speaker 4: Portland Trailblazers coach Chauncey Billups, along with Miami heat guard
Speaker 4: Terry Rosier and former Cleveland Cavaliers player and assistant coach
Speaker 4: Damon Jones all arrested today as part of a pair
Speaker 4: of investigations related to illegal gambling in both the NBA
Speaker 4: and all the poker games.
Speaker 1: Well, the Chauncey Billups thing is the scene out of
Speaker 1: the Sopranos. They did a whole they did a whole
Speaker 1: episode in The Sopranos of a card game, this big
Speaker 1: card game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like illegal poker operation tied to the mafia.
Speaker 1: And yeah, there are four of the five major mafia
Speaker 1: families were involved in this thing, and old Chauncey and
Speaker 1: apparently they had things like the machines that shuffled the cards.
Speaker 1: Those things were shuffling them in an order where you know,
Speaker 1: the house, the house would always know what the cards were.
Speaker 1: They had X ray machines underneath tables so they could
Speaker 1: see cards when the cards were laid down. Now you're
Speaker 1: Chauncey Billups, all right. I'm not saying, you know, Chauncey
Speaker 1: is is the brightest ball in the circuit. I don't know,
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, if you're Chauncey Billups and you've
Speaker 1: made like one hundred million dollars in your career. What
Speaker 1: the hell are you playing in a card game where
Speaker 1: you're going to make maybe like four or five thousand dollars. Guy,
Speaker 1: the guy was getting paid to coach Portland. He's a coach.
Speaker 1: He made one hundred and seven million dollars playing in
Speaker 1: the NBA, and now he's making money coaching and he's
Speaker 1: involved in a card game with the mafia.
Speaker 5: What's that?
Speaker 1: What is this guy thinking that?
Speaker 4: I don't know, ken Brew. I guess they tallied up
Speaker 4: thirty people so far in the whole thing, so I guess.
Speaker 4: And then what's rather quiet? It's that gambling gamble with
Speaker 4: the Cleveland Guardians two pitchers. You haven't heard anything about
Speaker 4: that lately, No, no, no, But.
Speaker 1: You know what, the NBA. I've always said this, The
Speaker 1: NBA has always been the most susceptible league to this
Speaker 1: kind of thing. There's only five guys on the court
Speaker 1: for each team, and all you gotta do is, like,
Speaker 1: you know, just you know, lolly gaga shot or don't
Speaker 1: play defense, or maybe you miss a few on purpose,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you know you can help
Speaker 1: somebody who's got money on the game. And it's been
Speaker 1: that way fifty The college basketball and fifty one, the
Speaker 1: greatest college basketball betting scandal involved all these New York
Speaker 1: City teams. And then you had the Donnage thing with
Speaker 1: the that was providing gamblers with information. And then he
Speaker 1: had just what a couple of years ago, they had
Speaker 1: a guy that played for Toronto that he was he
Speaker 1: was banned for life for gambling. And now you got this,
Speaker 1: I guarantee you these two guys are gonna flip. They're
Speaker 1: gonna give other names. That's the way it works. With
Speaker 1: the fence.
Speaker 4: They were talking about like sports books were in multiple
Speaker 4: states flagged suspicious betting interest in certain games and stuff.
Speaker 4: And I mean this was like in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 4: So I mean, who knows, who knows how much that
Speaker 4: went on?
Speaker 1: You know, so the whole world's work. The whole world
Speaker 1: is that whack.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Rosier was in a final season of a four year,
Speaker 4: ninety six million dollars deal. Well, I mean, do you
Speaker 4: how much do you need?
Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty five million is what Rosier made.
Speaker 1: He was going to make twenty five million this year,
Speaker 1: twenty five million this year. And he does that so
Speaker 1: he can get a little kick back some from some
Speaker 1: amblers allegedly. I mean, come on, man, use your head,
Speaker 1: use your head whatever, seg get us out of this,
Speaker 1: get us out of the Stooge Report, so you can
Speaker 1: go hobnob with those celebrities. I'm sure that they're looking forward.
Speaker 4: To that, all right, ken brew in honor of a
Speaker 4: beautiful day here in the Price State. We leave you
Speaker 4: with the immortal words of the Stooge Report.
Speaker 1: We leave you with the immortal words of the Stooge Report.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 1: There they are all right, see seg Yeah, safe travels
Speaker 1: back well, we'll rendezvu tomorrow. On seven hundred WLW two
Speaker 1: fifty five News Radio seven hundred WLW says a brand
Speaker 1: new Food Fighters song.
Speaker 3: Yi asking for a friend.
Speaker 1: Our producer Dave Keaton is very excited about this new album,
Speaker 1: says it's dark, depressing, nevertheless, it's brand new music the
Speaker 1: Foo Fighters. There's no bigger Food Fighter fan in this world.
Speaker 1: And the man who's standing by to join us right now,
Speaker 1: someone who understands the meaning of music in sports and relevancy,
Speaker 1: and a man that I am happy to say I
Speaker 1: am merely a bridge to and at the end of
Speaker 1: that bridge is not only a pot of gold and
Speaker 1: a Rainbow. But two little leprechauns named Eddie and Rocky,
Speaker 1: and they're taking over after I'm done. And Rocket, Jay boyman,
Speaker 1: how are you fresh back from calling that Middle Tennessee
Speaker 1: Delaware game last night. Let's let's see how Rocky did
Speaker 1: in this game? Analyzing something, Aron, let's a.
Speaker 4: You'll be the judge.
Speaker 3: We go it's I think the tip of that toe.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Now the fact that the call on the field was
Speaker 8: it was a catch. Now that that hangle right there.
Speaker 1: Looks like that toe. Yeah, hot analysis here from Rocket
Speaker 1: is I nailed that.
Speaker 2: By the way, Ken, I know.
Speaker 4: You did that.
Speaker 1: You got that right?
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: I I record all your games and looking which are
Speaker 1: the pertinent moments that I could play.
Speaker 8: When when you're not even my wife like watches these games, Ken,
Speaker 8: and but but you do. But by the way, it
Speaker 8: kind of went for a second. That game took four
Speaker 8: hours last night. And to quote Troy Aikman, nothing will
Speaker 8: ruin a broadcast more than those yellow flags that the
Speaker 8: officials throw.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was over officiated last night. But it looked
Speaker 1: like a nice night in Delaware. He had fun with us.
Speaker 8: Beautiful first date. Yeah, Delaware. Joe Flacco, the whole tie in.
Speaker 8: There was great.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden played, you know, at the University of Delaware
Speaker 1: on the freshman team. Yeah, we did sixty one.
Speaker 8: We didn't get him into the broadcast last night.
Speaker 3: Maybe next time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. He claimed games he played against
Speaker 1: the Ohio University freshman team in sixty one and got
Speaker 1: thrown out of one of the dorms there. He actually
Speaker 1: told my daughter that when she saw he was coming
Speaker 1: through Athens in two thousand it must have been two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight when he was campaigning, and related that
Speaker 1: story to her and a group of other people that
Speaker 1: were there.
Speaker 3: Sounds completely made up.
Speaker 1: Di I know, I have no doubt that he was
Speaker 1: FOS on that one. Yes, speaking of FOS, what's this
Speaker 1: gambit that the Democrats are playing trying? They blocked again
Speaker 1: just a clean bill that would just fund the military
Speaker 1: and fund the air traffic controllers, and they blocked it
Speaker 1: again today. I mean, why are they dying on these.
Speaker 8: Hills because they can't They can't vote to get things
Speaker 8: moving in the right direction because to do that they
Speaker 8: would have to side with some things that Trump wants,
Speaker 8: and they can never be seen agreen with anything that
Speaker 8: Trump ever stands for even if Trump's that the sky
Speaker 8: is blue, well they have to come out and said, no,
Speaker 8: it's actually, you know, purple or something like that. So
Speaker 8: and the American people are the ones that suffer, especially
Speaker 8: the government employees.
Speaker 1: Well, no, I agree on hundred percent. The only thing
Speaker 1: that's purple, by the way, is that woman's hair from
Speaker 1: where she from Rhode Island. That's the Democrat representative. That's
Speaker 1: about the only thing that's that's purple. But the you know,
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is is it's it's going
Speaker 1: to start to get real for a lot of people here.
Speaker 1: And why they choose to do things the way they
Speaker 1: do to block Trump. Now there's a Democrat that's running
Speaker 1: around saying they want to put trackers on ice agents.
Speaker 1: This is a political party that I once admired a
Speaker 1: lot of people that it is devoid of any ideas
Speaker 1: except get Trump, Stop Trump, Orange Mad Band, bad get Trump.
Speaker 1: They have nothing else to offer, Rocky nothing.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 8: They start with the determination that Trump is wrong, and
Speaker 8: then they work backwards and trying to find somehow, some
Speaker 8: way to make even the smallest, slightest case that that's true.
Speaker 8: And again the country suffers, and it's killing them by
Speaker 8: the day, though, Ken, because their their stances are increasingly
Speaker 8: more and more ridiculous. And thankfully now there's more news
Speaker 8: on on social media and people can go to some
Speaker 8: more trusted sources and find the truth on some things.
Speaker 8: The legacy media has zero power anymore. So it's it's
Speaker 8: that they think they're fighting back, but they're they're really
Speaker 8: killing their own cause here. And I mean the latest
Speaker 8: one is the the they're just losing their mind over
Speaker 8: Trump's construction of a ballroom in the White House, which
Speaker 8: that might happened what four or five times in history.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. You line ten people up on Fountain Square
Speaker 1: and ask who's upset about it, and you won't get
Speaker 1: one person to say yes, lockt, I gotta go. Apparently
Speaker 1: Chauncey Phillips can't make his card game, so they need
Speaker 1: me to sit in. It's a big story, Ken, We
Speaker 1: got to get the bottom of this there. I don't
Speaker 1: want to cut into anymore your time. You guys have
Speaker 1: a great show, as you always will when you're together,
Speaker 1: and you and I will visit down the road, my friend.
Speaker 1: Thank you sounds good, Ken. Thanks That duo is standing
Speaker 1: by next on seven hundred W l W
