1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Well, well, here we are, beautiful Sunday afternoon in the

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: tri State. So pain, the loss, the sadness of the fallen,

3
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: serving this nation, our interest, our safety, our security from

4
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: Ohio and the Kentucky and Indiana and ground planet Earth

5
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: war in Iran, fear of more terrorism domestically from outside

6
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: sympathizers lone wolves or other wackos for that matter. A

7
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: guy who knows from all of this seven hundred WLW

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: terror expert from the University of Dayton is Mark and Sulaco.

9
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: Welcome back to seven hundred WLW with Sterling. How are

10
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: you there.

11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: I'm fine, how are you? Thank you for having me on.

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely I'm kind of curious where we sit right here,

13
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: right now in the midst of this ongoing engagement. Let's

14
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: call it a war. It's been called a war. Some

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 1: say it's not. If somebody's reigning down hell fire on

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: you and threatening you and causing great damage and loss

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: of life, I think that's clearly a war. People can

18
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: call it whatever they want. Domestically, though, already for some

19
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: period of time, whether it's at a mosque or a church,

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: or a temple, a shoal, a synagogue, the need for

21
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: security heightened sense of awareness and concern. In the best

22
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: of times has been an issue domestically, and now we

23
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: are at the next level with a heightened sense of

24
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: awareness and danger from outside and inside. How bad is

25
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: that threat domestically compared to a month ago, now three

26
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: weeks or so into this war in Iran, Well.

27
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: I mean it's heightened. Obviously, there's been a lot of

28
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: domestic violent extremism for years, back back to October seventh

29
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: when Hamas laid wadge at Chenna sattle attack in Israel

30
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: and anti Semitic tensions flared. And now there's this, And

31
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: we've already seen three attacks, lone wolf attacks. One former

32
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: National guardsmen with military experience who had been in jail,

33
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: who went to carry another fort Hood type attack. And

34
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: then there's this incredible incident where someone drives into the

35
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: synagogue in Michigan and tries to kill young children. So

36
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: these are lone wolf attacks, which is a very serious concern.

37
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: The other concern would be sleeper cells that are somehow

38
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: organized and commanded by the Islamic Revolutionary core Guard Revolutionary

39
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: Guard course. Sorry, and I'm not seeing that yet, but

40
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: that's very much a possibility. I'll just make this point. Remember,

41
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty six, quite a long time ago, President

42
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: Reagan ordered the bombing of Libya from Markatathi because this

43
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: has contacts involvement in terrorism. Years later, in nineteen eighty nine,

44
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: they blew up on Pentomonal three, so we all remember that.

45
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: So there's always this threat of terrorism because of lone

46
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: wolf fanatics or more organized operations conducted by security agencies.

47
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: And we're in a war and it's gonna it's gonna

48
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: incite all this.

49
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: As we sit here now, Mark Insilaco, a seven hundred

50
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: WLW terrorism expert, was seven hundred WLW from a University

51
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: of Dayton. As we look at this in the ongoing

52
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: engagement over there, better to fight them there, but the

53
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: idea of sympathizers and the need to I guess in

54
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: some ways we're better prepared now than we were just

55
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: after nine to eleven, but I think some things seemingly

56
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: have been lost. The difference is, of course, the better

57
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: part of the last twenty five years, kids have been

58
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: in school having drills like instead of what I came

59
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: up with, which was tornado and fire drills, they have

60
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: active shooter drills in fortifying their facilities, churches have classes

61
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: and ongoing security at other places of worship. Big businesses

62
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: also have that kind of concern too. This is just

63
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: sort of modern day living. And for what period of

64
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: time do you think this is ongoing? Considering that even

65
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: if we finish this fairly quickly in Iran and elsewhere,

66
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: people here likely to carry this out in some fashion,

67
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: you think.

68
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: Yes, impossible to give a definite answer to that, but

69
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: probabilities high. Something I'm concerned about. Another case, I'd imagine

70
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: back in nineteen sixty eight, Sir Hanna assassinated Bobby Kennedy

71
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 2: because Kennedy a year before sixty seven had supported Israel

72
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: in the Sixth Day were So it takes a long time.

73
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,239
Speaker 2: It's just said many years ago when I first interviewed terrorism.

74
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: The terrorists have long memory but a short fused. I mean,

75
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: who knows what they'll do. But let me say this

76
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: for some reluctance. What frightens me most is the incompetence

77
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: of the national security establishment to the president.

78
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: Aparts from the war.

79
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: We can talk about the war, the meaning war, the use,

80
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: the fullness of the war, but I'm really concerned about

81
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: the domestic national intelligence firm Tulsi Garbert, the Director of

82
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: National Intendency. Where is he The last time we saw her,

83
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: she was in Georgia turning a warrant on ballots from

84
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: the pass election. Cash Pateel, the FBI director. He's spending

85
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 2: money getting security contingent for his girlfriend. We've lost Christine

86
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 2: nom thank god, director of Homeland Security after he spent

87
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: a quarter of a million dollars at Mount Rushmore and

88
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: Pete Hegsat. I mean, well, so where you're pointing, there's

89
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: real threats of domestic violence, extremism, and possibly more organized

90
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: foreign directed attacks. But I don't have any confidence, nor

91
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 2: should you have any confidence of the national security team

92
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: that's commander in chief is appointed.

93
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: As we sit here now. Markan Silaca. By the way,

94
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW terrorism expert from University of Dayton was

95
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: sterling on the big ones. So I've heard this before

96
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: from experts. So the idea that we have as a

97
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: nation in this administration have gutted some of the very

98
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: concerns about watching domestic terrorism threats and experts who have

99
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: done that for the better part of twenty five years

100
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: or more in some cases, Where did those people go?

101
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: Are they in the private sector or elsewhere. Can they

102
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: be pulled back in I mean idle hands and abilities

103
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: with people with great experience, and this seems like they

104
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: might be able to help us be safer. Or did

105
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: they make the right call in getting rid of these people.

106
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: No, they made it wrong, terrible decision trying to eliminate

107
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 2: these people for whatever reason, whether it's coach and you know,

108
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: cutting the bureaucracy, what have you. These are people who

109
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: you know a lot of people in the FBI have

110
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: been sort of purged or punished because they had contributed

111
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: to the investigation of January sixth. And I understand, I

112
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: understand why the president wants, you know, a team he

113
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: has conference in, but he's exactly right.

114
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: A lot of.

115
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: Very talented people, a lot of expertise, well, a lot

116
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: of brain drain from where we need them.

117
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 4: And that is really frightening.

118
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 5: Now.

119
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 6: You know, you.

120
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: Mentioned what we learned as a nation and a society

121
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 2: after nine to eleven was, yeah, heightened security d and

122
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: I was created than the restructuring of the National security establishment.

123
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: But what we learned as a population is still solid

124
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: see something, say something, right, So when you recognize sort

125
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: of and radicalism and a member of your family. Report

126
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: that if there's some suspicious activity, report that this isn't

127
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 2: like spying on our neighbors, but it's vigilant knowing that now,

128
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: as before, our foreign involvement in this case of war

129
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: is going to prompt others to try to strike out.

130
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: So we learned a great deal of society. We need

131
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: to just apply those lessons. See something, say.

132
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: Something University of Dayton terror expert for seven hundred WLW

133
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: mark and Sulaco was stirling on the big one. So

134
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: it is we sit here now and we look forward.

135
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: I was paying two to eleven for gas before this started.

136
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: In just a couple of days after it was up

137
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: to three forty nine. I think this morning where the

138
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: same place. And they've opened up reserves that they didn't

139
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: fill after Biden had emptied some of those to help

140
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: with cost in insecurity with oil and gas and the

141
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: petroleum reserves before he left office. They have hit the

142
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: spickett if you will, to international trade with oil in Iran,

143
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: which seemed like a smart move to sort of limit

144
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: their options. But what they've done also is allowed Russia

145
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: now to sell their oil, which will help fatten their

146
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: coffers in their engagement in some fashion, not just domestically,

147
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: but going after Ukraine in the midst of all of

148
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: these very related but distant circumstances. As we move ahead,

149
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: what does that mean for Europe and NATO and our

150
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: concerns there, not just with the Middle East long term,

151
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: because short terms one thing, even though we were never

152
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: told that this was a concern or an idea, and

153
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: it's just an excursion respectfully.

154
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, so you're absolutely correct. There are a lot

155
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 2: of moving parts to this crisis. There is the direct

156
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 2: military action we're we're coordinating with Israel and we're pounding. Now,

157
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: you get the oil crisis, You've got straits of hormus,

158
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 2: you have we talked about recently previously possibility of terrorism

159
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: as a response to that. And then you think of

160
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: the sort of the the broader geopolitical issues, and I

161
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: think of Russia and I think Ukraine. I mean, suddenly,

162
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 2: every every dollar it's being sent on the Middle East

163
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: is joyous to Putin because Putin knows that's money, and

164
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: they won't go to Ukraine and be happy for them

165
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: a g and China must be thinking about opportunities to

166
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: take Taiwan. And so I mean and then there's this

167
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: warrant of itself. There's gonna be a long term issue

168
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 2: of domestic, well just repression. We may neuter this country's

169
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: military capabilities. It's nuclear capabilities, it's ballistic missile forces which

170
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: are very dangerous, very subscated. Their drones, we can, we

171
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: can punt it. We're sinking their navy, we can punish,

172
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: we can, we can destroy the military capabilities of Iraq's

173
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: talk now about regime change, something that was abhorren to

174
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: Maga and the president, and now we're involved in that.

175
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: But if we back off and we leave that regime

176
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: in place, the bloodshed will be incredible. In January and

177
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: December and January, more than four hundred thousand people were

178
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: slaughtered by security forces by JI four hundred thousand army.

179
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: The number your inheriting is about thirty thousand Tasmanians themselves

180
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: states two thousand. It's caused by Zionists and CIA or something.

181
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: But you know, the idea of we may weaken this

182
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: country militarily, which will be welcome them in this Arabia

183
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 2: was a very sunnyway, very behind this military action. Because

184
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: if Iran proceeds towards a nuclear weapon, sundy way, but

185
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: we'll have to too. So they're sort of happy with this,

186
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 2: But what will leave behind a regime that is that

187
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: is murderous and I don't know how we deal with that,

188
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 2: and I don't know if we've thought that through.

189
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: Now there's something else related to this, and we're short

190
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: on time. Only a couple more minutes with Mark and

191
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: Stilaco's a seven hundred w WELW terrorism expert with Sterling

192
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: on the big one. He's from University of Dayton. And

193
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: you talk about the people on the ground in Iran

194
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: who we've said, you know, this is your opportunity to

195
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: take your country back effectively? How many of those people

196
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: can we kill in this engagement where there is not

197
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: then a turn of resentment, bitterness and anger and a

198
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: want for retaliation because they think that we are as

199
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: bad as perhaps the regime that they have been oppressed by,

200
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: and they'd like to get rid of too. They don't

201
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: have weapons effectively like we have access to in an

202
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: opportunity to go out for them, we would have to

203
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: arm them, or others would have to arm them to

204
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: give them even an opportunity with what is considered to

205
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: be a fairly well trained large military force domestically.

206
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, exactly right. Now, one might hope that the

207
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: elements of the army, not the Republican Revolutionary Guard Corps

208
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: because they're for the fanatics.

209
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 7: There're s s.

210
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: There are many elements in the police, metlements in the army,

211
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: minorities that that could envision the civil war. You could

212
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 2: vision units in the military turning on the regime.

213
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 5: But that would be bloody.

214
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 7: That'll be terry bloody.

215
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: Now you said something very very important I agree with entirely.

216
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: You know, back in two thousand and three, we were

217
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: told that we would be treated, we would be welcomed

218
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 2: as liberators in Iraq ye Sadam, we Traine class and

219
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: we just got that all wrong. But you raised it,

220
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: you phrase it exactly right. There are a lot of

221
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: people who opposed the regime. Their Iranians want a democratic regime.

222
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: But at the same time they're seeing a lot of

223
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: Iranians being killed by US and not just the United

224
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: States Israel. So it's really hard to predict how people

225
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: will react to it. I imagine there are many many people.

226
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: I'll say, what a a student whose family is from Iraq,

227
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: and she wrote an essay the other day and pointed

228
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 2: out what she was a minority that had been oppressed.

229
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: Their family had been killed when the revolution came in

230
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy nine. There's a lot of revolution. As you

231
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: talked about, her family just wept with joy when they

232
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: learned that Cominie was killed by Israel and that bombing rate.

233
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 2: So there are a lot of people who just would

234
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: rejoice with this regime coming down. But the real nuts

235
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: and bolts, the mechanics of that, the dynamics of that

236
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: are hard to predict. And if I may say again,

237
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: I trust Marco Rubio quite a bit, but I'm not

238
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: sure we've given this long thought. We've thought about what

239
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: happens next, what will be straight military You know, we're

240
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: going to win this war in the sense of to

241
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: militarizing good portion of the military of Iran, but what

242
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: happens next is entirely unclear.

243
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: Now finally thought, go ahead, I'm sorry, yeah, I'm just

244
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: going to ask this. But with the idea of regular

245
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: misinformation to the media and to the public, to the world,

246
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: not just to the United States, in the midst of war,

247
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: keeping that fog that confusion, and what our goals are

248
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: and what the plan is isn't necessarily bad? Correct, You

249
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: don't want to telegraph everything publicly to the people of

250
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: the United States while the rest of the world, including

251
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: our enemies here where we're going and what we're doing next?

252
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: Would you agree, yes, I mean, we don't want to

253
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: be giving up to the military secrets to movements plans

254
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: with plantation activities. But it would be good to have

255
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: a clear strategic sense coming from the President of the

256
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: United States. Commander and achieved what are armed forces are

257
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: being asked to do? You began this segment brilliantly by

258
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: talking about the sacrifice of those who have fallen, who

259
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: killed in the plane crash, which was unrelated to hustle

260
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: military option. But nonetheless we lost these soldiers in this

261
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: operation and others killed by terrorism. So American people really

262
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 2: have a clear understanding of the strategic goals of the

263
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: President of the United States. But you're right, you're not

264
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: going to not going to we're actually show our hands.

265
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 2: We're in military operations right now. So and remember and

266
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: then you said an important thing, this isn't a military

267
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: special military campaign al of putin.

268
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: This is a war. Yeah, it's a WARLD will when

269
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: but it's a war. That'll take some time. I hope

270
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: to have you back again sooner than later, and hopefully

271
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: with some more positive news with an outcome. But I

272
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: think this is going to go on for a while,

273
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: not just a couple of weeks. Mark Ensilaco, thank you,

00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: temperatures in the Tri State before winter comes back to

Speaker 1: keep me online and in time. And Sandy Collins with

288
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: news coming up too. The big wind is part of

289
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: the issue. If you're on the road, high profile vehicles,

290
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: so tractor trailers, whatever else, you're on the road road,

291
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people having to do the you know,

292
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: the whole I guess you call it pothole slalom. And

293
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: they patched a lot of these in the last couple

294
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: of days. I've seen it, and around seventy one, seventy five,

295
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: two seventy five. But between that and it's just more

296
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: of its tearing up the road, so you're bobbing and

297
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: weaving with that. Then you've got the big win. It's

298
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: a lot of stress. It's a lot of ten and

299
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: two on the steering wheel, paying attention to the big

300
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: one and trying to you know, get where you're going,

301
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: hopefully safely. Later on Kevin Carr by the way, going

Speaker 1: church today or temple, should synagogue, the mosque yesterday? Whatever else?

311
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: Kids in school the last week, have you noticed an

312
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: increase insecurity with the increase in terrorist acts. Whether it's

313
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: like Old Dominion University where those ROTC students did away

314
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: with that guy who came in and caused harm and

315
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: shot up some people. Thankfully they were there to be

316
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: able to take care of him. The issue just in general.

317
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: I've mentioned this before and a friend of mine said

318
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: he wasn't sure about it than he talked to his

319
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: kids their entire career in the high school. Now they

320
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: have had active shooter drills and training as to what

321
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: happens when it comes to an attack, an assault from

322
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 1: inside the school or out from another student or a

323
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: terrorist or something else. In some ways is disturbing as

324
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: it is to think that a kid rather than just

325
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: worrying about like when I came up, it was a

326
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 1: tornado drills and fire drills, and we did have a

327
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: couple of exercises I think where he went to the

328
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: basement in case of like nuclear war. They show these

329
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: old movies. I was coming up in the eighties, so

330
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of an odd thing, but it's

331
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: what we saw. And the idea was you go to

332
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: the basement and you duck and cover, like under your

333
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: desk in case like nuclear war happened, which I remember

334
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: getting in trouble because I said, what difference is it

335
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: really going to make here where we are with right

336
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: patterns and air force base and all the other strategic

337
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: uh you know, industry and things in and around the

338
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: tri state and so on. And they were like, just

339
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: don't just don't say, don't talk about that, don't say

340
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. To shut up basically is what

341
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: they told me. Uh, but you got to be prepared.

342
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: Five point three seven four nine seven eight hundred. The

343
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: big one. I'm wondering, have you noticed higher security or

344
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: were you less likely? Did you see more or less

345
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: people showing up to events in the last couple of

346
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: days week? Are you more aware in paying attention to

347
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: what's going on around you? And uh, whether you know

348
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: when I was a kid. Here's the other thing. And really,

349
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: for as long as there's been time, people would go

350
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: and seek refuge in places of worship, People would go

351
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: oftentimes even to schools for places of security, when in fact,

352
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: something was going on and now and for some time,

353
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: there's been a need to lock those doors, to have

354
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: those cameras, to have security personnel. You know, it used

355
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: to be that you could be a tourist and say, hey,

356
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: I'd like to check out services this Sunday or this Saturday,

357
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: and you could show up and they would invite you

358
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: in with open arms. Now you kind of feel like

359
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: you want want a background check, you want to frisk

360
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: people coming in. You may even have at this point

361
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: metal detectors are something else, depending on where you are.

362
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: Is definitely a different times in a different world. And

363
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, somebody who is fifteen, twenty twenty five years old,

364
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: that's all they've known, which is maybe a benefit to

365
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: them now is things have taken another turn in you know,

366
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: these are times making history for one of a better

367
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: way to look at it, but it is disturbing, I think,

368
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: in a whole lot of ways. But hopefully you keep

369
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: most of it over there rather than here. You know,

370
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: the argument that I had with my body is he

371
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: was saying that he felt like his kids had lost

372
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: out on some of their childhood, and I'd say, well, unfortunately,

373
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: as I think that's kind of just life as we

374
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: know it. People coming up during World War Two, those

375
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: you know kids, they dealt with that. Those who came

376
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: up during the Great Depression, you know, like my grandmother,

377
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: you know, she had a different view and understanding of

378
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: things and being thrifty and in the concern of people

379
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: lost in you know, dangers and other places as well.

380
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: But you know, these are the times in which we live.

381
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: And now also the other thing, And I was mentioning

382
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: this to Alex Egan off the ear, and I hesitate

383
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: sometimes because you know, we joke around and my friends, oh,

384
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: you're the profit of doom. But I have to say

385
00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: that being on the radio an adult at least in

386
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: some fashion after nine to eleven, and during that window

387
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: of time, and looking at all the vulnerabilities in places

388
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: to where our freedoms make us in some ways, in

389
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: a place where there is more danger upon us, we

390
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: are not in many ways that much more safe and secure.

391
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: And if you look at ways to reacavic and turmoil

392
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: and chaos and terror in a population, it doesn't take much,

393
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: you know, just in the last couple of days in

394
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: a miraculous like a repair job, at least temporarily speaking

395
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: with four seventy one across the bridge in the Kentucky

396
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: side in the issue there with that tanker in the

397
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: fire it had in a couple of years ago, which

398
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: also was a lightning bolt to me, and looking about

399
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: the vulnerability is what happened when those homeless people set

400
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: a blaze that I guess it was some type of

401
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: like slide playground equipment or whatever else. That thing caught

402
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: fire and caused a problem and shut down part of

403
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: a bridge. Then, so think of all the different places

404
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: and all the little things. You know, if you are

405
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: of a certain age, and you can remember when there

406
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 1: was a scare about tainted medicine over the counter, it

407
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: was tailan Al, and I see the medicine is a

408
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: great product. Tilan Al is a great brand, a great

409
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: product as well. I want to make sure that's clear.

410
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: But there was history of tampering on shelves of stores

411
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 1: going back to I think it was the late seventies

412
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: early eighties. I was a little sterling. I was talking

413
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: to Sandy Collins, she was a little Sandy Collins at

414
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: the time, and there was a lot of concern and

415
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: things changed because someone tainted with medicine put it back

416
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: on the shelf and people died. So now there are

417
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: protections on the pills in what we consume. There are

418
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: now boxes that are flued shut rather than just folded closed.

419
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: There are also seals on those bottles, and that's just

420
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: one thing that has changed. But the terror, in the fear,

421
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: in the attention and the concern of people in the

422
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: worry is something that right now is we move through

423
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: with this, how prepared are you and how concerned are you?

424
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: And what do you tell your kids about the dangers here?

425
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: Or do you go? You know what, it's all right,

426
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: it's pretty safe because statistically it is. But it doesn't

427
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: take a lot. And we've seen a little of that

428
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: in the news five point three, seven four nine, seven,

429
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: eight hundred, the big one. It's a problem, it's a concern,

430
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: but we're in it now, so we just have to

431
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: navigate it. And my heart sinks for those men and

432
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: women in uniform in harm's way involved in this engagement

433
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: in one fashion or another. And the talk of course

434
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: in the news, unfortunately of some very close to the

435
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: tri State and up in the Columbus area calling it

436
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: home with six different airmen, three members of the Ohio

437
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: National Guard, and that crash over Iraq, which they say

438
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: was not friendly fire, it was not the enemy as well.

439
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: They are investigating that. That puts things in real big perspective.

440
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: It's one thing to watch it on TV. It's one

441
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: thing to hear a news report. It's one thing to

442
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: think about, you know, the amazing technology and the power

443
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: of the complex associated with our going to war, in

444
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: the destruction and the health fire in which we bring

445
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: when we call upon it for one reason or another,

446
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: for our safety, for our security, for our interest. But

447
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: there's a difference between that and you start thinking about

448
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: the human toll that goes into it. It's not just

449
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: a video game, it's just not a news thing. So

450
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: my heart goes out to them. And I can tell you,

451
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: and it's been about two thousand and three or four,

452
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: I guess two thousand and three, maybe I was I'd

453
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: luck to here. I was working in Columbus and I

454
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: was doing a TV editorial thing on one of the

455
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: news channels, and I would record that and they would

456
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: run it during their news a couple of times a

457
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: couple of days a week, and then I would, you know,

458
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: go do my radio show. And this was a time

459
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: where the hypocrisy about supporting troops and patriotism comes in,

460
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: and I have gotten hate for mentioning vulnerabilities. I've gotten

461
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: hate for questioning this administration, past administrations or whatever else.

462
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: And in the case that I mentioned when I was

463
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: doing the editorials in the midst of the engagement and

464
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: we had gone to war in Rock Afghanistan, in that

465
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: point it was Memorial Day, which isn't too far off

466
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: in the future. And Nightline, which started during the Iran

467
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: hostage crisis when I was a little kid, and I

468
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: would come home from me J. Brown Elementary School and

469
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: I would watch the evening news. I would listen to

470
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: the Big One, and I would then watch Nightline later

471
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: at night when I was supposed to be asleep or

472
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: going to bed, and they counted down day by day

473
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: and gave a description of what was happening with the

474
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: Iran hostage crisis and so forth. And as we were there,

475
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: you see the seriousness and the loss of life and

476
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: what that means. And if you've had friends or family,

477
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: or you yourself have served, you know exactly what that

478
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: loss is like and what that danger is like. Memorial

479
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: Day is about that on Nightline, just a handful of

480
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: years ago, twenty years ago, now, I give your take.

481
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: Nightline was going to carry a memorial tribute and show

482
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: the faces, names, and information about these soldiers who had

483
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: been lost, these people who put their lives on the

484
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: line for you and me. The station that I was

485
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: doing the editorials for on television decided that they felt

486
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: that they took exception to the idea and found it

487
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: unpatriotic for Nightline to be showing respect and honor a

488
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:19,959
Speaker 1: memorial day to those falling in uniform for US. So

489
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: I got wind of that, and I'm used to working

490
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: here where if management does something stupid, you can call

491
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: them out for doing something stupid, and they kind of like, okay,

492
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: that's fair. All is fair. It's a show. Don't lose ratings,

493
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: don't lose revenue. So I hammered the TV station for

494
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: editor you know, cutting the Nightline because they felt that

495
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: somehow paying respect and homage for the fallen military personnel

496
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: of these United States was somehow an American. So I'll

497
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: tell you now, questioning this administration, questioning methods and the

498
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: way they go about things, and you know, paying respect

499
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: and showing admiration and a tip of the hat and

500
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: love for these men and women in uniform who put

501
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: their lives on the line. Sometimes they don't come back whole.

502
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes they don't come back ever again, except to be

503
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: laid to rest. If we're at a point where we

504
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: can't show them respect, if we're at a point we're

505
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: showing them respect, and talking about them is somehow anti

506
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: American or considered to be against the message of an

507
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: administration or fighting a war and engagement as it was

508
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: talked about then. And they edited me in that segment.

509
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: They called me and said, hey, they don't like the

510
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: fact that you're talking about us canceling Nightline tonight. I said, well, tough,

511
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: don't air the segment. They edited the segment and then

512
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: ran it. So then I spent my time on the

513
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: ear hating on them for it, and I basically walked

514
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: away from that gig. Wasn't really paid gig of consequence anyway,

515
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: But it was a moral thing to me. It was

516
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: a hypocrisy thing to me, in my opinion, it was

517
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: an anti American thing for me. So somehow, on one

518
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: side of a mouth, you say, we support America, we

519
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: support our interest, we support the administration, we support our

520
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: men and women in uniform. You don't, on the other side,

521
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: condemn them, marginalize them, question them, or fail to show

522
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: them love, respect for giving everything for us. And at

523
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: that point I decided that I would never just take

524
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: everything for granted, and I will never stop questioning motivations

525
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: and the way that the engagement has handled our otherwise

526
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: and regardless because people just follow orders, young people. My

527
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: uncle went to war in World War Two. He was

528
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: like fifteen, sixteen years old, and he signed up and

529
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: they took him, and he came home and had been

530
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: injured and lost part of his stomach. I mean, he

531
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: went through hell. And I had other relatives and friends

532
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: who have served, some haven't come home over the the years,

533
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: and of talking about them and honoring them at any point,

534
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: let alone a memorial day, let alone in the midst

535
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: of an active engagement globally as we were then and

536
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: as we are now. If we come to a place

537
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: where you can't show them love, honor, respect, then we've

538
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: got a problem. And as I sit here now and

539
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: we think about where we are going and what's going on,

540
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: just keep that in mind. And I will never be

541
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: in a place where I don't think about that, and what

542
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: really matters, which is you and your family and those

543
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: who put themselves on the line for us. I don't

544
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: care who's president. I don't care who's running the company.

545
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: I don't care any about all of that. I'm talking

546
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: about just everyday people and being an American and being

547
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: a human being. Straight Away, you've got your one o'clock report,

548
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: Sandy Collins has news. There's a lot of other stuff

549
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: to get to. Let's have a little fun, shall We

550
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: will do that. On the other side, I think we

551
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: can do it. We'll talk on some issues that I

552
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: have encountered recently out and about in the world, not

553
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: just you know, consuming mass quantities of information. We'll talk

554
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: Reds baseball with Mark Sheldon a little bit later. Red's

555
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: getting it on in the desert. The heat is on

556
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: here and it is out west, and the Reds play

557
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: here on the Nation station. It is the home of

558
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: the Reds. On a Sunday afternoon, Sterling News Radio seven

559
00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: hundred WLW, Cincinnati has the tipping thing gone like completely overboard.

560
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: Do you tip at the drive through? Do you cough

561
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: up some extra cash when you have it to go

562
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: order and you go in to pick it up at

563
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: the counter because you call it ahead or used an

564
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 1: app and it's waiting for you. You may have even

565
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: already paid for it. I did that with pizza last

566
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: night and a bunch of sides and everything else that

567
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: went with it, and I picked it up and it

568
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: already paid, and there's a tip jar, and I kind

569
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: of felt for some reason like I had to cough

570
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: up a couple of bucks, so I threw in a

571
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: couple of dollars just to say thanks. I know they

572
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: don't get tipped much, but I didn't sit down and eat,

573
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: They didn't do anything that it just packaged up. The

574
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: food buddy of mine got hacked off. And we've had

575
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: these conversations before. I'm just kind of curious, if you're

576
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: in the service industry, how how have people acted in

577
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, couple of months, whatever it's been.

578
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: Just is there been a change in the attitude in

579
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: relation to the idea of tipping. A friend of mine

580
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: was I rate when I mentioned, just in passing conversation

581
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: about the idea of seeing tip jarge everywhere else too.

582
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: There's nothing that's drastically different about this, but all of

583
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: a sudden, no tax on tips and everything else associated

584
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: with it. It seems to me that it's a pressure point,

585
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: it's a frustration, it's an aggravation. And I know these

586
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: people don't make a lot of money. I have had

587
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: friends who work in food surface I still do, whether

588
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: it's operating restaurants or working on you know, as a

589
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: frontline kind of chef person or whatever else, and even serving.

590
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: So I grasp all of that, but I really kind

591
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: of it's a nickel and diming to death in this situation.

592
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: So I ask you, where do you tip? Where do

593
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: you not tip? Where is the line? My buddy's wife

594
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: tells me that she tips when she goes to pick

595
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 1: stuff up at the dry cleaners. Which when did that start?

596
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: And then immediately I start, I don't do a lot

597
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: of dry cleaning stuff, you know. I'm not like Alex

598
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 1: Egan during the week wearing lots of suits and ties

599
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: and you know, and being super presentable. It's the beauty

600
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 1: of being behind a microphone or working from home a lot.

601
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't got to worry about that. But she was saying, oh, yeah,

602
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: you tip at the dry cleaners. When why I've never

603
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: done that? Five one, three, seven, four nine, seven, eight

604
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: hundred the big one in the last week. I know

605
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: a lot of social media arguments about that very issue.

606
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: I think it was JJ Watt got a lot of

607
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: attention about it too, sort of opposing questions and so forth.

608
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's challenging. And I just talked to a

609
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,959
Speaker 1: friend of mine who had kids that a few months

610
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: ago when we got dumped on with snow, maybe even

611
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: just a few weeks actually, more like maybe a month

612
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: at most, And he says, they came by and helped

613
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: dig them out when he was in the midst of

614
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: doing all that, and they did a really good job,

615
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: and they wanted, you know, they wanted like forty bucks

616
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: or whatever. He gave him, like an extra twenty so

617
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 1: he gave him, you know, extra and so forth. And

618
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: I said, that's cool. I always thought that was interesting

619
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: too in that situation. But that's an individual who what

620
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: came by, saw that there was a need knocked on

621
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,120

622
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: can help you out here real fast. And they made

623
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,279

Speaker 1: the trash people from rumkey, you know, at Christmas time.

625
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: I guess I suppose I just want to know where

626
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: it stops. No one's tipping me here. You go to

627
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: a club or a restaurant, they may have somebody playing music.

628
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: They'll have a tip jar the piano. Depending on where

629
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,919
Speaker 1: you are, people like to do that. Oh you played

630
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: the birthday song. That's great. A lot of times restaurants

631
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: still come in and do the clap clap clap for

632
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: your birthday. Maybe throw them an extra ten or twenty.

633
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 1: Friends of mine did that to me. They gave him money.

634
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: It wasn't even my birthday. They just wanted to mess

635
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: with me a little bit. And they're like, well, they

636
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: gave us twenty bucks. Whatever. Enjoy your chocolate cake, son.

637
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, fine, I get it. That's okay. I

638
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: don't mind the embarrassment chocolate cake. It's fine. They enjoyed that.

639
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,680

00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: That's what the job is. Am I crazy? Is it

643
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: gone too far? I mean? Maybe you know, you start

644
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: getting more tips, you don't have to get taxed on that.

645
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: I suppose, depending maybe that that's a way around some

646
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: of it. And I don't know if that's increased because

Speaker 1: No, I see, I do that too. To see I'm okay.

662
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: I think it's because they're girl scouts. I'm like, yeah,

663
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: I give them an extra five spot. Who cares? That's well,

664
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: you got to keep the language clean. I mean to

665
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: sort of go along with that. I appreciate the call,

666
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,560

Speaker 6: Yeah.

669
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: I understand the frustration. The question of like where it's

670
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: appropriate or when it's not appropriate to tip. I don't

671
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: know what what the advocate is anymore. And it's an

672
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: odd deal. I mean, if it's You know one thing,

673
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 1: if somebody's handling your car, you're you know they're gonna

674
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: park it for you and do something like that. Great

675
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: if they're serving me. I certainly like to do that,

676
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: especially at the bar restaurant. You know, you get a

677
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: couple of drinks earlier and show them some love. They're

678
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: gonna pay attention and show you some attention to.

679
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 3: Uh.

680
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: But it gets over the top if you go to

681
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: a car wash and they actually do the full on

682
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: inside detail wipe it down, you want to throw them

683
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: a little extra there. Okay, I get that. I mean

684
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: I just want to know where the jobs are with

685
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: the tipping and where they're not because it is not

686
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: what it was years ago. I remember people would tip

687
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: me when I delivered the paper when I was a kid.

688
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: Now grown ups deliver the paper. If you're actually getting

689
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: a paper copy rather than just the digital edition uh

690
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 1: that you can get on a device and carry in hand.

691
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: I still like paper newspapers sometimes being able to you know,

692
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: to handle it or whatever else that sort of goes

693
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: with that. If I went three, seven, four, nine, eight

694

Speaker 1: I want to know. Don y'elle.

739
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,880

740
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 10: second part, man, And but I agree with that that part.

741
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 7: Man.

742
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 10: You know, there is a salary for what they're doing.

743
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 10: But if you're if they're performing a service that you know,

744
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 10: I mean, if I called it in and they put

745
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 10: it together, man, and I'm trying to get in and

746
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,399

Speaker 10: I think it's a good thing that you threw it

749
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 10: in there. But man, food is expensive today.

750
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: You know it's not going to get any cheaper either.

751
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: It's a tough spot. So do you now food service

752
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: is different. I'll ask you this before I let you bounce.

753
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,680

754
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: to as well done you. So here's my question. So

755
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: if you've got a drain problem and the plumber shows

756
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: up and they snake that drain, get you fixed up

757
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: in a timely.

758
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 10: Fashion, Yeah, man, he'll come up.

759
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: He Yeah, you tip them more. Also, so who doesn't

760
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: get tipped? What about the dentist, the hygiena. She flaws, this.

761
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 10: Folishes as a matter of fact. That's that was my thought.

762
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 9: Man.

763
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,759

00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 10: But anytime, anytime they're putting in, anytime they're putting in

768
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 10: the extra service, they're putting it in that that you know,

774
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: changed for your car, you get the regular service. Maybe

775
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: you got like two three years of maintenance, depending on

776
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: what you got right, and you pull back up to

777
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: the dealership and they show you love and you're checking

778
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: out the new rides. You're like, maybe I'll just trade

781
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, that's a part of your regular service. And

782
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 1: you're like, well, here's a ten spot, here's a twenty.

783
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: Do you give the porters some cash for pulling your

784
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: car out of the oil change? In that situation, where's

785
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: the line? I'd like to know? To Forest Park and

786
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: Kathleen and Brian and Dan and Jim in room for

787
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: you on a Sunday sterling at five, one, three, seven, four, nine,

788
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: eight hundred, the big one. Kathleen, what do you think, Hey,

789
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: you know these tradesmen they want to charge you like

790
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: ninety five bucks to come out and measure and look

791
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: at the job and.

792
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 11: Tell you how much it would cost, but they don't

793
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:24,479
Speaker 11: take it off of your final bill.

794
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 12: Then you've got If I have to pay taxes on

795
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 12: my Social.

796
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 13: Security, everybody needs to be paying taxes on their income

797
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 13: as well.

798
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,879
Speaker 1: That's what I got, all right, fair enough, I got

799
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: you on that. Kathleen. Thanks, she's not happy. But I

800
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 1: don't think. I think if you don't have earnings above

801
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 1: a certain amount, your Social Security isn't taxed. It's the

802
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 1: the other monies. I think that's how that played up.

803
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 1: But I'm not in that age group as of yet,

804
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: so I don't want to speak out of turn tomorrow.

805
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 1: And Dan was sterling on the big one. So where's

806
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: the line on tipping? We hear trades people. I mean,

807
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: do you give it to people who sho up at

808
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: the house, the roofer who comes in and gives you

809
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: a look and fixes up stuff around the chimney. You're like,

810
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: here's an extra fifty thanks brother? What Dan?

811
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 6: Oh?

812
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 12: Hey sling? Yeah, I don't think you do. On a

813
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 12: full service uh trade job, they come in, like the

814
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 12: previous lady said, they're charging you multiple dollars just to

815
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 12: come out to make it drive time?

816
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 7: What have you?

817
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,720
Speaker 12: I think the whole tipping situation stemmed out of COVID.

818
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 12: Everybody was trying to make sure everybody was being well

819
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 12: taken care of, especially in the restaurant industry. So just

820
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 12: the toughness that you're going through. I own a restaurant

821
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 12: and it was a tough period of time because you

822
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 12: didn't know what the heck was going on. How is

823
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 12: it that stem from that?

824
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that.

825
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 12: Noticeably noticeably different are though, when you're dealing with a

826
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 12: full service restaurant. I do believe tipping, even on a

827
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 12: carry out it's appropriate. It doesn't have to be kind

828
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 12: of the standard eighteen to twenty percent where it's kind

829
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 12: of at right now. Just a couple bucks, a little something.

830
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 12: A couple bucks is always nice in my situation. My

831
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 12: bartenders help manage all of that at the same time

832
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 12: taking care of regular customers getting you know, hey, I

833
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,240
Speaker 12: need an exercise at tartar sauce, can you go grab

834
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 12: that for me? They have to manage all of that,

835
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 12: so there's a lot of things to go on, way

836
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 12: less than before. But I think some of it at

837
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:36,240
Speaker 12: the drive through at Starbucks nowadays, when they if someone's

838
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 12: being paid at tipped minimum, then tip them. But most

839
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 12: of those places are getting a full hourly wage at

840
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 12: least at a minimum most of them. I don't pay

841
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,720
Speaker 12: my hostesses minimum wage. They are making well over minimum

842
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 12: wage just and they're sixteen years old. Yeah no, I

843
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 12: mean pay more than probably the producers your show, you know. Anyhow,

844
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 12: So that's where it's kind of stemmed from really coming

845
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 12: out of COVID is where you started seeing it started

846
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 12: started being beleeding and everybody felt compassionate, and it was

847
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 12: it was the tough. It was time you didn't know

848
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 12: if you could work.

849
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: So Dan, the final question here before I bounce and

850
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: move on, so are people more tight fisted now? Is

851
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: things that are arguably getting tougher and more expensive with fuel.

852
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: I know it's just been about a week two weeks

853
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 1: since we've started to see gas prices go up, but

854
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: that's going to affect deliveries for your food supply and

855
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: every other input that you have, as well as everybody

856
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: else coming to get food. I mean, we're all going

857
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: to start feeling even more of this here just in

858
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: the election. Even if this war ends tomorrow, it's going

859
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: to be months before you know, we start feeling everything

860
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: moved through the system.

861
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 12: Well, I think for the most part of at least

862
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 12: where I'm at, we're a little bit shielded. I raised

863
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,879
Speaker 12: my prices just recently based on all of those things.

864
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 12: I think people honestly get it. They're like, they go

865
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 12: to the grocery store, they see the prices more. I

866
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 12: come to Dan's place, and he he's charging a little

867
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 12: bit more because the deliveries and the gas and everything.

868
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 12: I think the gas thing is a little overrated because

869
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 12: we we survived four years ago on higher prices. I

870
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 12: don't don't see that being too much of a qualm

871
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 12: unless it gets really crazy. I mean, I don't know

872
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 12: where the war is going either, but right now three

873
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 12: forty three fifty, you know, we had it down as

874
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 12: low as two nine.

875
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, at this point beat up to three fifty.

876
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: People spend three or four bucks for a bottle of

877
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: water at a convenience store, so I mean, you know,

878
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: and that doesn't get you anywhere. May hydrate you, but

879
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:42,479
Speaker 1: it didn't get you home.

880
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 12: Just donet get your home. I mean seven dollars for

881
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 12: a craft beer is you.

882
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: Know, but you'll feel good after I'm telling you, you get

883
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: a good ipa with some good ape. Yeah, alcohol by

884
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm like drinking your good stuff.

885
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 6: Dan.

00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call man, Thank you. I hate to

887
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 1: be brief, but let's I got to get through a

888
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: couple more here before the break to Fairfield and Brian,

Speaker 1: Appreciate you.

Speaker 4: Here, mow the lawnst my mowers.

00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: I can already, it's already started. I need to I

898
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 1: need I still have leaves in the back. I have

899
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: to mulch. Don't go ahead. I'm sorry, you just made me.

900
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 4: This is this is twice? Is either two to three

901
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 4: and is cut or a three to five. I'm choosing

902
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 4: the two to three when I can. Yeah, pleasure with

903
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:33,919
Speaker 4: the weather.

904
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: I always like to let it go to seed first,

905
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: but I realized this is not grass talk anyway, go ahead,

906
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: so anyway, yes, sir.

907
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 4: My question is I go to a local steakhouse. Why

908
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 4: is my my bill? My tip is based upon how

909
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 4: much I spend for the bill. Question is the waitress

910
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 4: or waiter or whatever he's gonna bring. Let's say, bring

911
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 4: a Cowboy RIBI set it on my table versus a salad.

912
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 4: You know, I can go from a hundred dollars and

913
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 4: the difference of service is the same. They're gonna come

914
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 4: by and make sure my drinks are full, make sure

915
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 4: my food is good, all this stuff. They do the

916
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 4: same routine. But I bought a forty dollars steak versus

917
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 4: the fifteen dollars salad. You know, but I you're okay,

918
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 4: I got this steak. But okay, all of a sudden,

919
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 4: that kit just wow accelerated so.

920
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: High, you know. I I don't know the rationalize. I

921
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: don't know how you come up with the separation on that.

922
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: I hadn't really thought of it that way. I just

923
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: look at the bill and go, here's about twenty percent.

924
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: And I've had more than one woman in my life

925
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 1: tell me you tip too much or you're flirting when

926
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: you tip. I'm like, I know what it's like. So

927
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tough spot, Brian. That's I don't

928
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: have an answer to that. I appreciate the call, Kathleen, quickly, here,

929
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: get you on here. I wait, let's get back to

930
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: your phone sounds like you're in a wind tunnel. I

931
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 1: don't even know, like that place off seventy five where

932
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: people do the fake jumping. That's what it sounded like. Jim, Quickly,

933
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:55,240
Speaker 1: what do you have on tipping?

934
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 14: Well to anybody like a Palmer Electric Fish, anybody like

935
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 14: that comes out of your house and it's making twenty

936
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 14: five dollars an hour, plus you're paying one hundred and

937
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 14: eighty nine dollars for a service call, plus fifty dollars

938
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 14: for the trip coming out, and then on top of

939
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 14: that you got to pay for the hourly all that

940
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:14,840
Speaker 14: stuff for.

941
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 15: I don't tip those guys at all. As far as restaurants,

942
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 15: and that goes. I go anybody that's making four or five,

943
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 15: six seven dollars an hour, I start out at twenty percent,

944
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 15: and if the service is good, I bump them maybe

945
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 15: twenty two, twenty five percent if it's if it's starting.

946
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 4: To turn bad.

947
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 15: In that I started deducting percentages as the evening goes on.

948
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: That makes sense. I like it when you say that,

949
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: if it's starting to turn bad, Jim, I appreciate the call.

950
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: So it's a sliding scale, and then you see what

951
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: you get. And what do they say tips are? What

952
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: to ensure prompt service or whatever. I just remember going

953
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: to the UK first time overseas years ago now, and

954
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: everyone told me who I knew before I went, and

955
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: I got to stop here. You won third reports coming up.

956
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 1: We got James and Kathleen and others. More to do

957
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: on this and other stuff to get to as well,

958
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 1: talking movie stuff and MLB's Mark Sheldon hugging Reds a

959
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: little bit later. But I remember they were like, don't tip,

960
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 1: and I went there and I couldn't help myself that

961
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: it gave me, poured me a nice pint. I'm sitting there,

962
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: I'm feeling good, got some bangers and mash coming and

963
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: I like put up like a five pound piece or

964
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 1: whatever it was. I don't know, some of their funny money.

965
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: And the guy looked at me and says, we don't

966
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: tip here, sir, or.

967
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 7: What I mean?

968
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: And I shrank. I felt horrible like he had been insulted.

969
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: And here it's a whole nother world straight away. A

970
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 1: lot more to do, your chance to be heard, Sunday

971
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 1: Sterling News coming up. Your one thirdy reports seven hundred

972
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: WLW glad here a long beautiful Sunday afternoon in the

973
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: Try State. And as nice as it is here, the

974
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,959
Speaker 1: weather will change and it will feel more like March.

975
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: And what is it in like a lion, out like

976
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,439
Speaker 1: a lamb, In like a lamb, out like a lion.

977
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: I think it was with my grandmother that used to

978
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 1: tell me when I was a young sterling seven hundred

979
00:52:55,840 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: WLW what you're listening to? Reds Mariners getting on out

980
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: in the desert. Much hotter there and going to be

981
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: real smoking hot, like triple digit hot into this coming week.

982
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: So if you're heading out there for spring break, spend

983
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: a little time hang out, checking out some Reds baseball,

984
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: bring the shorts into the sunscreen, hydrate and mays some

985
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: good sunglasses, whether here in the Tri State, now that

986
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: I think about it, for that matter, too, if I

987
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: have won three seven, four, nine, eight hundred, the big

988
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 1: we're talking about tipping issues a little bit earlier, we

989
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: can certainly wrap that up. Give you a chance to

990
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: sound off. I'm kind of curious an unusual situation and

991
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 1: the job that you've done. And here's another wrinkle to this,

992
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: where someone's offered to tip you when you weren't expecting

993
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: to get a tip and a gig or a circumstance

994
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: you wouldn't normally be tipped, and how did you react

995
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: to it? And I will share an awkward, uncomfortable circumstance

996
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: that came up to me years ago. I was working

997
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: at a car store, in fact, selling some cars, and

998
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: I was also doing this. This is out in Nevada

999
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: in the desert, and I sold some people a couple

1000
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: of cars. They came in, they told me what they needed,

1001
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: what they wanted, traded in some stuff, basic things, you know,

1002
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,399
Speaker 1: that's part of the job. And I helped them find

1003
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: what they wanted and what they needed, and I made

1004
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 1: it a fast and easy and smooth and on the

1005
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 1: road and ready to go. And they tried to they well,

1006
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: here's what happens. So they tell me thank you, and

1007
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: it was you know, they say, oh, it is the

1008
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: easiest experience we've ever had. Blah blah blah. It's fantastic,

1009
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you. And you know, I'm

1010
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: getting the Blue Tooth hooked up and everything, making sure

1011
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: they're happy and satisfied. And a guy comes up to

1012
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 1: me and he goes, I just want to say thank you,

1013
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: and he shakes my hand and he palms me like

1014
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: a hundred dollars bill and I'm like, what's this. He is, well,

1015
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, good service, you deserve it. I said, well,

1016
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,919
Speaker 1: I was paid for selling you the vehicles. I'm good.

1017
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 1: He goes, no, man, don't turn down a tip. This

1018
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 1: is Las Vegas. We live on those And I'm like okay,

1019
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: and I had to grab something else for them, and

1020
00:54:58,280 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 1: I go in there. My boss like, what's going on.

1021
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 1: You look trouble and I said, he gave me money,

1022
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,240
Speaker 1: and he goes, take that money. Take it. Every single

1023
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:09,280
Speaker 1: time somebody officers some cash. He goes, we made money.

1024
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 1: He's happy. You're happy you made even more money. Shut

1025
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: up and tell him thank you and see him again

1026
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: when they're ready for an oil change. I was like what,

1027
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: he goes, yeah, take that money every time, and I

1028
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: was taken back. I hadn't really had anyone offer me

1029
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,720
Speaker 1: a tip or anything like that since I was working

1030
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 1: at hair arena as an usher as a teenager. That

1031
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: was a minute ago. So I'm just curious if somebody's

1032
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 1: also offered you a tip or someone an unusual situation

1033
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: where you were like, this isn't normal, this is not

1034
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: normally a tipping circumstance. But it was exceptional and we

1035
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: were happy. And I didn't mention this because like I

1036
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: was exceptional or anything else. It was because it took

1037
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 1: me back and I was like, this is very weird.

1038
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: I felt dirty and uncomfortable, and they were like, nah,

1039
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 1: get over that fast and put that money in your pocket.

1040
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,959
Speaker 1: Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand and eight

00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 10: hand out.

1077
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 16: And then and then uh, me and my fiance she's

1078
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 16: my wife now, but my fiance we went out to

1079
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 16: the club. So we we stand at the door geared

1082
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 16: he flagged a cab down, which for the cab. So

1083
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 16: when he opened the door, he got his hand out again.

1084
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 10: Dog like, I gotta tick this guy. Just open my door.

1085
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 8: I can't open my old door.

1086
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 15: What the heck's going out?

1087
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 1: He got the sideway and hail a cab. Yeah, different scenario.

00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 6: I came to Vegas.

00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 10: They have a good time, not to.

1092
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: Be you wanna lose your wages a different way, not

00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you got that leads me to something else, James,

Speaker 1: You're not gonna tip anybody there that'll drive me to

1099
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: the autonomous thing. It's like, I don't need to tip everybody.

Speaker 10: the fair. I'm paying the cab fair.

00:58:57,320 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. It it's tough. I appreciate you listening,

Speaker 1: that's not I don't work for tips, And how did

1115
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 1: you navigate that? I mean, it's it's a different world.

1116
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: It's a different circumstance. I suppose to Columbus and Mike

1117
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: than Jeff in room for you five one, three, seven, four,

1118
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: nine hundred, the big one on Sunday, Sterling, what's going on?

1119
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 7: Mike, Hey, Sterling, how's it going?

1120
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: It's good? Appreciate you being here. What's going on with you?

1121
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:28,479
Speaker 6: Good?

1122
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 7: Be a little bit of everything. But I had two

1123
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 7: situations real quick. One when I was working in Vegas.

1124
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 7: Also I was doing some mom part time security work

1125
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 7: and full time medic When I was working at the Startus.

1126
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 7: We used to get some high rollers that came in

1127
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 7: and I got to know a couple of them. There

1128
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 7: was one weekend where one of them was in town

1129
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 7: and asked me to check on his room every couple

1130
00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 7: of you know, about every couple hours or so long.

1131
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 6: Man, after that.

1132
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 7: Weekend was over, he looked for me and handed me

1133
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 7: five hundred dollars tipped, you know, expecting it.

1134
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, see and that, but you went over and above

1135
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,919
Speaker 1: for him. That that's that's pretty awesome.

1136
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 7: Right right exactly about every hour to two hours, I

1137
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 7: was checking on his room and and you know, because

1138
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 7: he had some valuables he brought in and and you know,

1139
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 7: didn't want him stolen.

1140
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: Now, was that the first time someone had like come

1141
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,919
Speaker 1: in and thrown that kind of money at you? And

1142
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean coming from an industry or a place where

1143
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: you're not used to having someone tip you, it takes

1144
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 1: you back a little bit. But I'm guessing at that

1145
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: point you were like, yeah, that's why I'm here. Keep

1146
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: him happy, and if he wants to give you five hundo,

1147
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: then say thanks.

1148
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 7: Right exactly exactly, because I remember what my dad used

1149
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 7: to tell me, Never refuse anything someone's giving you something, right,

1150
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 7: you know, so you know, the other situation was here,

1151
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 7: I'm still a medic, but I do some part time

1152
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 7: drivers d And there had been a few instances where

1153
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 7: parents gave me, you know, or one hundred bucks, you know,

1154
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 7: as a tip for really taking care of their kids.

1155
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: You know, they're, oh, that's cool.

1156
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I'm going. You know, I don't expect that.

1157
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 7: You know, I'm doing what I'm doing my thing. You

1158
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 7: know I'm doing I'm doing. But yeah, and and one

1159
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 7: one one parent was really upset that I started refusing

1160
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 7: and I said, all right, we'll take it.

1161
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. So that but it's a very awkward spot. You

1162
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: know what's amazing is when I delivered the paper as

1163
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: a kid, you'd have to chase people down just to

1164
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: pay their bill. I wasn't even a tip. Was like inconceivable.

1165
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,439
Speaker 1: Now people want to throw money at everybody all the time.

1166
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a minute, that's ridiculous. I was getting

1167
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 1: up at five am to deliver papers on a Sunday. Mike,

1168
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. And you're listening to Middletown and

1169
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: Jeff was sterling on seven hundred WLW, what about this tipping?

1170
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 1: If people try to throw some money your way to

1171
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: say thank you.

1172
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 6: Hey, sterling the first time, long time. I've always wanted

1173
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 6: to call in you. You've got to remember, I think

1174
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 6: you're from like up north the Shucking Shack, Oyster Bar.

1175
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely yeah yeah, used to be North Main Street

1176
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: and Dayton down the street from Harrow Arena.

1177
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 6: Yeah absolutely, yeah yeah, and then you had the Barnsider.

1178
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah. So uh the way back when my mom

1179
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 6: was a waitress at the Stockyards End on Springfield Street,

1180
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 6: she was making two sixteen an hour. Wow, well waitresses,

1181
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 6: well yeah, waiters and waitresses you know they always gave

1182
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 6: him get a little bit of money, so you know,

1183
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 6: tips were that was great for those for those people.

1184
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 6: And then when I was at the Shucking Shack, I

1185
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 6: made four dollars less an hour than the cooks the

1186
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 6: coast did. Right, So when when it comes to waitering,

1187
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 6: I think you should give a tip. But for a

1188
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 6: company it comes out here, a big company, it comes

1189
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 6: out and does a job for you. If the guys

1190
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 6: just an awesome job and go over and above, I

1191
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 6: could see doing a tip. But other than that, no,

1192
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 6: because you're spending you're just you're giving them a ton

1193
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 6: of money already they're already making good money. It's yeah,

1194
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 6: but yeah, I always wanted to call it and see

1195
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 6: if you remember the old Chuck and Shack oyster Ball.

1196
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I was a kid, but I certainly remember that place. Yeah,

1197
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 1: I think we had a Christmas dinner there at one

1198
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 1: point for one of the jobs I had as a kid,

1199
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 1: so that it was a long time ago. But yeah,

1200
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: for sure, Jeff, I appreciate you listening being a part

1201
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: of the show Man. Thank you. Uh. It is an

1202
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 1: odd thing when it comes to the tipping deal. I

1203
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 1: want to switch gears just a little bit and ask something.

1204
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: Somebody sent me a story, uh, and so asked if

1205
01:03:56,720 --> 01:04:00,080
Speaker 1: I was concerned about this, so I will pose it

1206
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 1: to you. It puts someone in a weird spot and

1207
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: it ties in which what I talked about earlier, which

1208
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 1: is when I was doing the TV editorial stuff and

1209
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: I walked away from that gig because they edited me,

1210
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 1: and they had edited Nightline on Memorial Day some years

1211
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 1: ago because they were going to show memorial salutes and

1212
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 1: tributes to fallen soldiers or heroes. And right now they're

1213
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 1: in action in six just announced it, you know, identified

1214
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 1: and affected an area of Ohio and Kentucky and Indiana

1215
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: in our region, but across the country others in harm's way,

1216
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 1: and they yanked that off the air, and then I

1217
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 1: hated on it, and then they wanted to edit me

1218
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: and not wanted to because, as they said, it was

1219
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 1: unpatriotic to show apparently homageor respect or somehow it was

1220
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 1: against the war effort or the administration or unpatriotic. So

1221
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: and it ties into to hear what Mark sent me,

1222
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 1: and it's a story about property rights and the idea

1223
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 1: of coverage critical of the Iran war. So I'm going

1224
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: to ask this, and this is awkward and uncomfortable, and

1225
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,959
Speaker 1: it is a bit of a shift, but I Mark,

1226
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 1: that's a solid question. And it puts me in a

1227
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 1: weird spot because we're licensed as a radio station the

1228
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 1: same way TV stations are in the same way the

1229
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 1: TV networks are different than say streaming on the internet

1230
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: and podcast elsewhere and so on. So and he ties

1231
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 1: with this, do you think you're in trouble for being

1232
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: critical of this administration or others? And should people be

1233
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:42,439
Speaker 1: in danger of this? Well, Mark, I think my job

1234
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: to serve the community, and to serve my job first

1235
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 1: is ratings and revenue, and that is to keep the

1236
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: largest audience possible between commercial breaks with sticky content that's compelling,

1237
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 1: hopefully entertaining, could be informative serving the community. At the

1238
01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 1: same time, brings audience, serves customers, clients, advertisers which employ

1239
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: people locally, entrepreneurs everyday people on the job like you

1240
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 1: right now doing what you're doing in the community, keeping

1241
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: money move around. In the same respect, I'm not a

1242
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 1: shill for the government. I'm not a shill for any administration,

1243
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 1: whether it's one in the past, the current one, or

1244
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: the one that's gotten next whoever that is so am

1245
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 1: I concerned about it. No one said anything to me

1246
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 1: about any of my content, and I think our president

1247
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: certainly covers most news cycles fairly effectively, even when we

1248
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: are at peace, and we are not at peace anymore.

1249
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 1: But questioning the motives, questioning anything in relation to our

1250
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 1: government is the American way. And the idea that somehow

1251
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: that my responsibility or someone holding a license to serve

1252
01:06:54,400 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 1: the public should somehow just suck up and tut whatever

1253
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 1: misinformation or disinformation or just tout the party line or

1254
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 1: what any administration is saying, I think is a disservice

1255
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 1: to the government of the people, by the people, for

1256
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 1: the people, you and me. So no, I'm not concerned.

1257
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: I don't think I should be concerned. And anybody who

1258
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 1: think it's appropriate thinks it's appropriate to not ask critical

1259
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: questions now when we were going to be asking critical

1260
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: questions and regularly talked about Biden and is his aged

1261
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 1: self and not necessarily having his faculties arguably and not

1262
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 1: handling stuff, you know, the right way, the same way

1263
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: you go after that guy, the same way you go

1264
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 1: after this guy, and whoever go has next, and how

1265
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 1: they're you know, moving ahead with the war. I think

1266
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: that's what we're supposed to do, depending on what we're

1267
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 1: talking about, right, So you tell me is it inappropriate?

1268
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 1: Is it somehow wrong to be critical of this administration

1269
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 1: or any other administration? That's what freedom of speech is about,

1270
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: does it not? If I went through A seven four

1271
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 1: ninety seven thousand, eight hundred, the big one, I want

1272
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 1: to hear what you have to say about this, and

1273
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:22,559
Speaker 1: I want to be clear here because this is something

1274
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: that has come up in engagements in the past. They say, well,

1275
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 1: if you say something that is derogatory or against what

1276
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:36,639
Speaker 1: is happening by any administration, then you're somehow against the troops. Hell, no,

1277
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 1: I can support these men and women that put their

1278
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: lives on the line and question motivation, strategy or otherwise

1279
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 1: because I care about them, because I care about them

1280
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:53,639
Speaker 1: being in harm's way and losing their life for no reason,

1281
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: and it's not for no reason, and it shouldn't be

1282
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,639
Speaker 1: for no reason, and they need to be respected and honored.

1283
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 1: And if that means calling out this administration or questioning

1284
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:09,480
Speaker 1: them in decision making or whatever else, that's not anti American.

1285
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: That is as American as you can get, unless I've

1286
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:16,639
Speaker 1: had one too many blunt head traumas, unless somehow I've

1287
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:20,679
Speaker 1: missed something. But that's what it's all about. Our president

1288
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 1: got there because he whined and cried and bitched and

1289
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 1: moaned and called out other administrations and issues about government

1290
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 1: and the way things were being handled. That's why he

1291
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:39,640
Speaker 1: was elected. So doing the same thing because he's not infallible,

1292
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:43,719
Speaker 1: and no government is infallible because it's of the people,

1293
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 1: by the people, for the people, seems to me that's

1294
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 1: exactly what we should be doing, is questioning everything and

1295
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 1: supporting these troops. Five win, three seven four nine seven

1296
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 1: eight hundred, the Big One, your chance to get interactive

1297
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:00,640
Speaker 1: two o'clock reports straight away, it's time for news on

1298
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,560
Speaker 1: the Home of the Red seven hundred w WELW, Cincinnati.

1299
01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 1: Glad you're a long, beautiful Sunday afternoon in the dry,

1300
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 1: stay warm, feeling like baseball Reds are in action in

1301
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 1: the desert. Later on, conversation with Mark Sheldon at MLB

1302
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 1: dot com to get you ready for it. Then Tommy

1303
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 1: Thraw the Cowboy with the call from Peoria. The Mariners

1304
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 1: camp on the road. They'll be home in about two weeks.

1305
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 1: Time did for take Kevin Carr is gonna join me

1306
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: about two thirty five talk oscars and whatever else movie stuff,

1307
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 1: And speaking of which, last night I was on with Donnade.

1308
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:35,639
Speaker 1: She was doing her Saturday night show, my co host

1309
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:38,600
Speaker 1: a lot of the time, and we were talking a

1310
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:42,639
Speaker 1: little bit. She had me on and asking about movies

1311
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 1: that changed my life or your life, our lives overall,

1312
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:49,640
Speaker 1: and I was thinking about it when we had some

1313
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 1: fun last night, so I figured, why not ask you

1314
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 1: the same thing Oscars, whether you're into award shows or not,

1315
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 1: and all the stuff that goes with that. Most of

1316
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 1: us spent a lot of time streaming going to the movies,

1317
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:04,920
Speaker 1: maybe actually in theater. I love that experience generally, and

1318
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 1: movies are amazing, and they show us things, take us places,

1319
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 1: the windows into other people's worlds. It's an opportunity to

1320
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 1: escape and to give us better understanding sometimes and other

1321
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 1: times it's just fun, crazy stuff. And I started thinking

1322
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:24,639
Speaker 1: about movies that affected me, movies that changed my life

1323
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 1: or view of things, or a look at different stuff.

1324
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 1: And we'll give you a chance to sort of sound

1325
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 1: off on that too. Is I rattle off mine five

1326
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 1: point three seven four ninety seven eight hundred, the big one.

1327
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:35,719
Speaker 1: You can pick up the phone, give it the finger,

1328
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 1: like my good buddy mister K used to say. You

1329
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 1: can also talk back on the iHeartRadio app and leave

1330
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 1: a message. You can record it there by clicking on

1331
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 1: the microphone and on x at Stirling Radio. So as

1332
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 1: I start thinking about like the films of my youth

1333
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:52,680
Speaker 1: and coming up that I saw that changed me, that

1334
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 1: had an effect on me, I think the first that

1335
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:58,800
Speaker 1: really jumps out is probably, and I've mentioned this I

1336
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 1: think once or twice before, where I saw The Exorcist

1337
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 1: way earlier in my life than I should have. I

1338
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: don't know about its awards category success or otherwise. I

1339
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 1: know it was a big movie. They've made multiple sort

1340
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 1: of sequel type of scenarios that sort of go with

1341
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 1: that or what have you. But I can tell you

1342
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 1: I should not have seen it, even on TV in

1343
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:24,040
Speaker 1: a rerun form or whatever else, probably edited somewhat just

1344
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: this was after obviously it had been in theaters and everything.

1345
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 1: I was just a kid. It scared me to no

1346
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 1: end because you had God and the devil in possession.

1347
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 1: I mean, there was a lot of layers of things

1348
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: that were disturbing and intimidating, and it shook me. Even

1349
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,760
Speaker 1: just thinking about it right now, I can vividly go back.

1350
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 1: I mean, like just being trying to go to sleep

1351
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:57,760
Speaker 1: after was tough. Another one, The Godfather, for a whole

1352
01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 1: bunch of reasons. One incredible film to a look into

1353
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 1: a different world, however dramatized. It might have been of

1354
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 1: what they so called organized crime or mafia or whatever,

1355
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: but it was about family and about not going against

1356
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 1: the family, depending on how you looked at it. In

1357
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 1: that for a lot of people, and this was again

1358
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 1: I was a kid. Never saw it in a theater.

1359
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 1: I think once they brought it back in a theater

1360
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:23,519
Speaker 1: setting some years ago someplace where I wasn't I got

1361
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: a chance to see it that way, but that was later,

1362
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 1: like on video and anytime it's on streaming someplace. I

1363
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 1: even owned copies of like all of them, even three,

1364
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: because it was part of the box. I've grown to

1365
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 1: appreciate that movie a little bit more, but still, you know,

1366
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,720
Speaker 1: and it was about Fredo going against the family, you know,

1367
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 1: and about always being with the family, and so many

1368
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: other layers to that. There's another one that I saw

1369
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 1: as a young man, and this is a weird one,

1370
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 1: I know. I mentioned it last night and Donna sort

1371
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 1: of laughed, but she said she kind of got it.

1372
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 1: And it's called The Last America Virgin. And that also

1373
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 1: was in rerun form when I was a kid late

1374
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 1: at night. I might have been on like HBO or

1375
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 1: something at the time. And it's a story about bad

1376
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,720
Speaker 1: choices and about you know, a girl that you are

1377
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 1: fixed on in uh, you know, pining over, and she's

1378
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 1: not that interested in you. She's interested in somebody else.

1379
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 1: And then you know she comes to you later on

1380
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 1: when she needs something. And there's just about choices and

1381
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:29,639
Speaker 1: things going wrong. So those are three that are really

1382
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,559
Speaker 1: profound movies I think that I have seen. I remember

1383
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 1: like Old Yeller and Bambie I cried, and you know

1384
01:14:34,920 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 1: those Disney movies, and you know a lot of layers

1385
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,759
Speaker 1: to that too. So I'm wondering to know what movies

1386
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 1: you have seen that have affected you, that changed you,

1387
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 1: that gave you a different understanding of something for good

1388
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:49,720
Speaker 1: or bad, and maybe for your kids as well. Five one, three, seven, four,

1389
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:52,679
Speaker 1: ninety seven thousand, eight hundred, the Big One. And here's

1390
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:58,560
Speaker 1: another one. And I saw this years later. Mira Sorvino,

1391
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:03,360
Speaker 1: big star, her father Paul Sorvino, was in Goodfellas, great movie,

1392
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 1: also tremendous. I don't know if it changed me, but

1393
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 1: it's an unbelievable film. But he along with LeVar Burton,

1394
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:12,960
Speaker 1: who you might know from reading Rainbow Growing Up, or

1395
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 1: was in Roots of Course, Next Generation one of the

1396
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:20,280
Speaker 1: Star Trek series or whatever else. He with LeVar Burton

1397
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 1: and Paul Sorvino were in this movie called Dummy, which

1398
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 1: was about a deaf guy who looked to be in

1399
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 1: a criminal situation charged with a horrible crime and he

1400
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:37,760
Speaker 1: was arguably getting railroaded because he couldn't hear, or he

1401
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 1: could hear, but he couldn't speak, so people just railroaded him.

1402
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 1: So he finds they find him an attorney, being Paul Servina,

1403
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 1: who also ironically had a hearing thing, which is probably

1404
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: why he just chose to do the movie to show

1405
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:52,439
Speaker 1: that side of things, and he worked and it's based

1406
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 1: on a true story to try to make sure this

1407
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:57,559
Speaker 1: guy had a legitimate defense. And then you find out

1408
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 1: in the end that regardless of disability and so on,

1409
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:06,559
Speaker 1: that we're all just people, good, bad or otherwise, and

1410
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 1: just because you are different or they are different, doesn't

1411
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 1: mean that they're innocent or more likely to cause harm

1412
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,639
Speaker 1: or something else, which is a lesson for all of us.

1413
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:17,640
Speaker 1: But as a little kid seeing that it was a

1414
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,640
Speaker 1: great window into a different world in a circumstance of it,

1415
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 1: and then shocking at the end coming up. So what

1416
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:27,639
Speaker 1: movies shook you quickly at Sterling Radio on x Max,

1417
01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 1: and Oakley says, the Blair Witch Project. Okay, I like

1418
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 1: the movie. It was hard to watch on the big

1419
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:38,200
Speaker 1: screen and the movement of it and so on, but

1420
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 1: it certainly changed the way with the found footage kind

1421
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 1: of scenario, the way they promoted it. I could see

1422
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 1: where that sort of hits you. To Ross now in

1423
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,640
Speaker 1: Portsmouth and room for you five one, three, seven, four nine,

1424
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: the big one. What movies have have you seen that

1425
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:54,679
Speaker 1: changed you? That affected you somehow?

1426
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 6: Oh?

1427
01:16:56,200 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 17: I was calling in about the question about criticizing administrations.

1428
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 1: Okay, well you can do that too.

1429
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 17: Okay, Well, I think we ought to be we should,

1430
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 17: we should be able to criticize the administrations. That's part

1431
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 17: of our freedom of a veteran. And be quite honest

1432
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 17: with you, I wasn't happy with the previous administration none whatsoever.

1433
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 17: The president administration. I liked some of the things they

1434
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:29,000
Speaker 17: wanted to do, like shutting down the borders, and I'd

1435
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 17: done and everything, but I don't agree with everything this

1436
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 17: administration does. And I'll tell people that that know how

1437
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 17: I feel about how I voted. And I catch a

1438
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 17: lot of flak on how I voted from a lot

1439
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 17: of the other party. Sure, sure, but I tell them,

1440
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 17: they'll say, what do you think now? And I said,

1441
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 17: I'm not real happy with some of the things that's

1442
01:17:57,600 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 17: going on. I said, well, I wasn't happy with none

1443
01:17:59,920 --> 01:18:03,520
Speaker 17: of the things that was going on with the previous administration.

1444
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:06,200
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure how old you are, but

1445
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: I can tell you this growing up and paying attention

1446
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 1: over time. I don't know that there's been any single

1447
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:14,479
Speaker 1: person in office in any administration, one term or two

1448
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:17,840
Speaker 1: term presidents that I've been, you know, towing the line

1449
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:20,759
Speaker 1: and for everything. They're going to make bad, bad, bonehead

1450
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: decisions from time to time, and others are going to

1451
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:26,599
Speaker 1: make good ones, and sometimes they're unintended consequences. But I

1452
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 1: agree with you, and I respect you as a member

1453
01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:32,080
Speaker 1: you know who has served this nation in the uniform,

1454
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 1: and I appreciate your perspective on it. I appreciate you

1455
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 1: calling too.

1456
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:37,680
Speaker 8: I'm seventy five years old.

1457
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 15: And I'm not happy with a war.

1458
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 17: I understand reasoning behind what is going on right now,

1459
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:54,760
Speaker 17: but I'm not happy about how we came about with

1460
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 17: the initiation of it.

1461
01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:58,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got cha. I hear that a lot.

1462
01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 17: I've always felt we had to be attacked to retaliate.

1463
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 17: And I know they want to go back to say

1464
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 17: this started way back when. Well, you know, if it

1465
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:13,559
Speaker 17: started way back when, we should have done something about

1466
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 17: it then. But our politicians on both sides kicked the

1467
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 17: can down the road because.

1468
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 8: None of the backbones to address issues.

1469
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 17: Anymore, because all they're worried about is losing boats or

1470
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:26,759
Speaker 17: gaining boats.

1471
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 1: Well, on the other side of it, two is that

1472
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:30,800
Speaker 1: straight to horror moves, and there's a lot of dominoes

1473
01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 1: in that area that makes things very challenging as far

1474
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:36,479
Speaker 1: as the oil supply for the world, and now Russia's

1475
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 1: getting rich on it again too because they're they're pumping

1476
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 1: more oil and selling it rossa. I really appreciate the

1477
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 1: call and the perspective. I appreciate you listening to and

1478
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:46,679
Speaker 1: I hope we can do it again soon to Jim

1479
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:49,720
Speaker 1: and Dayton, Brett roy John, others on movies or in

1480
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 1: fact about the feeling comfortable enough to criticize the administration too.

1481
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:55,479
Speaker 1: We can certainly keep that going if you'd like, well,

1482
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:58,599
Speaker 1: we'll marry multiple topics. We can do it. We can.

1483
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:01,520
Speaker 1: Jim at your turn will started on seven hundred WLW.

1484
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:03,879
Speaker 1: What do you think what about the movie thing or whatever?

1485
01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 18: Yes, sir, and yes, I would say by far the

1486
01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:12,280
Speaker 18: movie that had had has had the most influence on

1487
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 18: me is that the Ten Commandments. Great they talked about

1488
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:21,720
Speaker 18: age ten or eleven then just greatly encouraged I feel

1489
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:23,679
Speaker 18: like I was walking ten feet off the ground when

1490
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 18: I walked out of the theater, and it just was

1491
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:30,720
Speaker 18: with me for two or three weeks afterwards.

1492
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 8: So, in my opinion, is the greatest movie ever made.

1493
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 1: You know what that's That's probably a lot better a

1494
01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 1: way to be effected than seeing The Exorcists as a

1495
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:41,160
Speaker 1: kid and being like traumatized. Even now, I take back,

1496
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,200
Speaker 1: I should have been paying attention to that instead. Jim

1497
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 1: good call, I appreciate it. Yeah, I agree, uh to

1498
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 1: Harper's point. And Brett was Sterling on the Big One,

1499

1501
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 1: life and changed your view of things somehow affecting you.

1502
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:01,160

1506
01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 2: Uh.

1507
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:11,719
Speaker 11: And the movie was Brian's song.

01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:15,639
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, great movie about Gail Sayers. Yep.

1509
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 11: And I was taught a lot of things about teamwork,

1510
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,960
Speaker 11: friendship and how to be emotional.

1511
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:28,800
Speaker 1: And how were you Did you see it as a

1512
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:31,040

01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:34,320
Speaker 1: ten years old, okay, Ben, So that and that affects

1514
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,719
Speaker 1: you even now, probably as you approach life in some fashion.

1515
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:38,280
Speaker 1: I mean, because they were really good about hitting that

1516
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:41,240
Speaker 1: emotion and that nerve that people have in a real

1517
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:41,920
Speaker 1: world setting.

Speaker 1: were sterling on the big with Troy and Roy.

1522
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:59,760
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, I grew up in the seventies, and I

1523
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,719
Speaker 3: think one of the movies that changed the whole nation

1524
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 3: was Jaws.

1525
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 1: Oh tremendous.

1526
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:09,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody even wanted to go. Nobody wanted to go

1527
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 3: and do a swimming pool at one point.

1528
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 1: It's true. I was one of those kids, absolutely. I

1529
01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 1: mean how many movies can you think of that it

1530
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:24,559
Speaker 1: changed your willingness to either go in the water or

1531
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 1: go different places, right, I mean the Blair Witch. I

1532
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 1: remember my pseudo niece and nephew. They were freaked out

1533
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,719
Speaker 1: about going into the woods as kids because they saw

1534
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 1: that movie probably before they should have. So I understand that, right.

1535
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:41,160
Speaker 3: And the other one. I think back then I was

1536
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 3: a little bit Younger was an easy rider.

1537
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:45,639
Speaker 1: Oh, tremendous movie.

1538
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 3: Everybody wanted to go out on the road and just

1539
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 3: travel and do what you want.

1540
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:53,519
Speaker 7: And yeah, I you.

1541
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:57,719
Speaker 3: Know, besides some kind of summer vacation type of movie.

1542
01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:01,440
Speaker 3: I think I think that's the one that you represented.

1543
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:03,200
Speaker 3: Are you know generation.

1544
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard that from a few people, and is

1545
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 1: a little bit older. It's hard to sort of see it,

1546
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 1: but you know, in some ways, a lot of stuff

1547
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 1: has come back around it to be even as relevant

1548
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 1: as it was at the time, even though I mean,

1549
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:18,599
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to say revolution comes back around,

1550
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:21,639
Speaker 1: but the whole culture thing is very similar.

1551
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 3: If you can imagine Dennis Hopper and Peter Funn are being.

1552
01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:29,800
Speaker 1: Young, they've been old my whole life are dead. So yeah,

1553
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a different time. But absolutely, thank you, Roy.

1554
01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate to call me and thank your phone's getting

1555
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:40,240
Speaker 1: a little weird. I'm not sure what you said at

1556
01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 1: the end there, but I appreciate you contributing. That's cool.

1557
01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 1: It's nice. Aaron in Oakley again reaching out another Oakley person,

1558
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 1: Uh says Love Jones changed her view of the world,

1559
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 1: and that's all. She says. So I don't know. I'm

1560
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:58,880
Speaker 1: assuming Aaron's a Girl may not be great movie. Going

1561
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:01,639
Speaker 1: back to the Late Night These close to two thousand,

1562
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, you got Nea Long Who's unbelievable

1563
01:24:04,439 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 1: Lawrence Tate, and it's about love and the relationships and

1564
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:11,559
Speaker 1: people of a certain age and the great city of Chicago.

1565
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I like that movie and an incredible soundtrack

1566
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:17,400
Speaker 1: as well. To Mason and John was sterling on the

1567
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:19,160
Speaker 1: Big One. Hey man, what do you know movies that

1568
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:20,160
Speaker 1: have changed your life?

1569
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:27,240
Speaker 8: So dumb scenario. I was live in North Carolina and

1570
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 8: my roommate at the time loved The Virgin Suicides. Oh

1571
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:37,679
Speaker 8: but the Kirtain. I could never say your name right.

1572
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:42,600
Speaker 1: Kirsten Kirstinn, Kristen Kirsten something like that.

1573
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:45,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know, I could never hear your name right.

1574
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:48,599
Speaker 1: It's a great movie. Now, what was it about that

1575
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:50,759
Speaker 1: movie that resonated with you? I mean it was hard

1576
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:51,599
Speaker 1: to watch.

1577
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:55,640
Speaker 8: I mean it was a weird movie, but it was

1578
01:24:55,720 --> 01:24:58,439
Speaker 8: just the fact that like, all these guys wanted to

1579
01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 8: love on all these girls and then like they all

1580
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:04,639
Speaker 8: just chilled themselves. So it's just the weirdest thing in

1581
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 8: the world.

1582
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, very heartbreaking. No, it's different and a lot of

1583
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 1: people deal with you know, those type of things on

1584
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:16,519
Speaker 1: a regular basis, unfortunately. And Sophia Coppola and I appreciate

1585
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:19,519
Speaker 1: the call, John, thank you. She she directed that, and

1586
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 1: she also she was in Godfather Part three, Well Daddy

1587
01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:28,639
Speaker 1: and all. But she also has directed some incredible movies too,

1588
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:31,760
Speaker 1: one of which was lost in translation, which is a

1589
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:36,200
Speaker 1: Bill Murray and uh, what's a Johansson girl or forget

1590
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:38,479
Speaker 1: her Johansson. I can't think of the first name, but

1591
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 1: just unbelievable, and what a weird ride in Japan hanging

1592
01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 1: out just seemed like it was how Bill Murray might

1593
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:47,720
Speaker 1: really be in life. However, legit in the isolation that

1594
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 1: goes with it. Uh in another country, Uh, not knowing

1595
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:54,000
Speaker 1: the language so well, and so forth, let's quickly we

1596
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:57,599
Speaker 1: get these last two on Marlboro Bill and then Dave,

1597
01:25:57,880 --> 01:25:59,680
Speaker 1: and then we'll bounce to news. So it was the

1598
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:02,439
Speaker 1: late from Sandy Collins. I believe straight away. What's up, Bill?

1599
01:26:02,479 --> 01:26:02,960
Speaker 1: What do you have?

1600
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:04,679
Speaker 6: Hey?

1601
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 19: Thank you for taking my call. I'm a history person

1602
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:10,600
Speaker 19: and I tell you.

1603
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 13: If this is the most beautiful thing, it's manifest destiny.

1604
01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:21,479
Speaker 13: It was meant for this to happen to freedom of

1605
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 13: human being. And I tell you the most best movie.

1606
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 12: I think now get to me.

1607
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:30,720
Speaker 19: It was Braveheart.

1608
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:37,000
Speaker 4: Close please, sir, I'm sorry it put us so close.

1609
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 19: And I study history every day, seven days a week.

1610
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 19: I'm retired on my history buff And at that time

1611
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 19: they were so much British India. Everybody was at each

1612
01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 19: other's throat, the French everybody was at each other throat

1613
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 19: and they don't know who they were choken. But the

1614
01:26:56,840 --> 01:27:00,800
Speaker 19: thing is, it's manifest destiny, brother, that we come to

1615
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 19: the top. And I say that all through this, I

1616
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:07,840
Speaker 19: had to say mel Gifts in the closest.

1617
01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 4: Movie that what can you believe if it was us

1618
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:12,280
Speaker 4: going through this?

1619
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:14,320
Speaker 6: That grive Court movie.

1620
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:17,719
Speaker 1: I mean, my god, different times, but I mean, here's

1621
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:21,240
Speaker 1: the thing, though, hand to hand combat and the you know,

1622
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:24,479
Speaker 1: elements of the world brutal and the fighting for your

1623
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:28,800
Speaker 1: freedom and uh liberty. Yeah, that's how this country was built,

1624
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:31,160
Speaker 1: and that's how people all over the world have even

1625
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:32,960
Speaker 1: had to fight and even to come here for a

1626
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 1: new opportunity. If you can do it in less than

1627
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:36,720
Speaker 1: a minute, Davi at your turn was Stirling on the

1628
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: Big one. What do you have movie to change your life?

1629
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:40,720
Speaker 6: Hey, uh, just stayed for me.

1630
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:42,080
Speaker 8: It was a Shawshank Redemption.

1631
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:44,599
Speaker 1: Great movie and made in Ohio at least in part.

1632
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, that was a great movie.

1633
01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:50,679
Speaker 7: Just so as you said, good overcomes evil and yeah,

1634
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:51,920
Speaker 7: I just thought it was great movies.

1635
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 1: Well in so many layers. I mean, being institutionalized, locked

1636
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:56,879
Speaker 1: up for so long you can't live on the outside.

1637
01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:58,560
Speaker 1: I mean there's so much too that great call. And

1638
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:02,120
Speaker 1: speaking of which, Kevin Carr was actually in that movie

1639
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:06,200
Speaker 1: Shawshank Redemption, and we'll talk to him. He's Silver Gecko

1640
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 1: on the Substack and my partner in the old Chubby

1641
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:11,200
Speaker 1: and Step podcast. Kevin Carr talking Oscars after the News

1642
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:17,000
Speaker 1: more Sterling Coming Back Nation Station seven hundred WLW, Sunday Afternoon,

1643
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:22,559
Speaker 1: Sterling seven hundred WLW, Beautiful Day, Kevin Carr, Silver Gecko

1644
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:26,719
Speaker 1: on the Substack. This is like your Super Bowl Sunday

1645
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:29,719
Speaker 1: effectively as a movie guy, right with the Oscars going

1646
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:31,240
Speaker 1: on in Los Angeles tonight.

1647
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:32,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I.

1648
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 5: Mean it's a big deal. You know, it's the end

1649
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:36,800
Speaker 5: of a wards season. I think word season intends to

1650
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:39,559
Speaker 5: stretch out a little bit too long now because every

1651
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:42,519
Speaker 5: time you turn around there's a headline of them winning

1652
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:46,519
Speaker 5: Producers Guild or Writers Guild or something, and you're like,

1653
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:48,559
Speaker 5: when are they have any oscars? Oh, they're not having

1654
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:53,280
Speaker 5: it until almost Easter, so it seems to stretch a while.

1655
01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:54,760
Speaker 5: But yeah, I know it's a big deal in the

1656
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:55,320
Speaker 5: movie world.

1657
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's huge. Is it bigger now than it used

1658
01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 1: to be? Because I mean everything is sort of in

1659
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:05,040
Speaker 1: this weird point of flux, and I know, societal differences.

1660
01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 1: It's always been a thing going back to even when

1661
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 1: like Marlon Brando didn't show up and sent somebody in

1662
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:12,519
Speaker 1: his place to pick up an award that he ended

1663
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 1: up winning or something along those lines. So I mean

1664
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 1: sometimes there's societal stuff that plays into what movies bring,

1665
01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:20,879
Speaker 1: you know, life to us, all from different viewpoints.

1666
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:25,799
Speaker 5: Sure, I mean it has I wouldn't say popularity has waned,

1667
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:30,360
Speaker 5: it's just other options of stuff to watch has waned.

1668
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:32,719
Speaker 5: I mean, I remember back when I was a kid,

1669
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,759
Speaker 5: if you didn't have cable, even if you did have cable,

1670
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:38,400
Speaker 5: you did not have five hundred stations. You know, you

1671
01:29:39,360 --> 01:29:44,320
Speaker 5: had like ABCNBCCBSPBS, maybe a couple independents, And if you

1672
01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:47,920
Speaker 5: had cable, you maybe had ten other options. Nowadays, there's

1673
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:52,080
Speaker 5: so many other things in competition for your eyeballs that

1674
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:55,040
Speaker 5: it's hard to televise a three and a half hour

1675
01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:59,559
Speaker 5: award show and retain all the viewership on it. Because

1676
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:02,639
Speaker 5: like when I was a kid, it was that or

1677
01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:06,200
Speaker 5: a rerun of The Waltons or something like, you know,

1678
01:30:06,280 --> 01:30:07,080
Speaker 5: there was there.

1679
01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:10,920
Speaker 1: Was a lot, a lot of composition. Yeah, nothing wrong

1680
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:13,400
Speaker 1: with the Waltons. Man, they were on the mountain. The

1681
01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:15,960
Speaker 1: family stayed together through thick and thin. I mean, we

1682
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:17,400
Speaker 1: could use a little of that right now.

1683
01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:20,120
Speaker 5: I was told once as a kid that I looked

1684
01:30:20,160 --> 01:30:22,480
Speaker 5: like John Boy and I really didn't watch the Waltons,

1685
01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 5: and later on I looked and I'm like, was that

1686
01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:25,880
Speaker 5: a compliment?

1687
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:29,559
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you know, I can't say he did

1688
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:32,040
Speaker 1: have that thing on his face, but I mean, yeah, yeah,

1689
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I don't know, it's kind of

1690
01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:36,320
Speaker 1: a weird place. I'm not going to judge. It's just

1691
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:38,920
Speaker 1: one of those things. I don't think you look anything

1692
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:40,600
Speaker 1: like the guy, to be honest. So I mean, I

1693
01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:43,519
Speaker 1: don't know. When I was a kid, I heard Ralph

1694
01:30:43,560 --> 01:30:48,200
Speaker 1: Maccio and uh, what's what's the guy? Ferris Bueller Uh,

1695
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:50,960
Speaker 1: Matthew Broderick, I heard that a lot. Yeah, and then

1696
01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:53,679
Speaker 1: I got older and uh, you know, my my hair

1697
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:55,800
Speaker 1: is gone and I am not that guy.

1698
01:30:57,280 --> 01:31:00,800
Speaker 5: They look like you look like who's the guy? The

1699
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:04,520
Speaker 5: little the little? Uh it was made out of electricity?

1700
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:09,639
Speaker 1: More like mister clean without the big bill. Yeah, that'd

1701
01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:11,439
Speaker 1: be good. That'd be good right now, it'd be huge.

1702
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 1: I can make a lot of dough, is mister killwater,

1703
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:14,160
Speaker 1: that's for sure?

1704
01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:14,800
Speaker 6: All right.

1705
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:17,640
Speaker 1: So, uh, there are a ton of awards that are

1706
01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:19,640
Speaker 1: gonna giving away. They do some off the air, some

1707
01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:22,800
Speaker 1: on and so forth, like the notables, the big ones.

1708
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:25,240
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's take a look at like what you

1709
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:27,360
Speaker 1: think is important in what matters? I mean, there are

1710
01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:30,280
Speaker 1: some I guess that are the best picture, actor, actors,

1711
01:31:30,479 --> 01:31:34,760
Speaker 1: whatever else, right those things? Uh yeah, well let's start.

1712
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:36,559
Speaker 5: Let's start with best Picture. I mean, if you would

1713
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 5: have asked me this like three months ago, I would

1714
01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:40,360
Speaker 5: have said it was a shoe in for one battle

1715
01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 5: after another, because that one seemed to have the most

1716
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:45,439
Speaker 5: momentum that came out later in the year. Usually it's

1717
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:47,800
Speaker 5: hard for a movie to keep momentum if it comes

1718
01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:51,360
Speaker 5: out before September. Uh, and and so one battle after

1719
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:56,240
Speaker 5: the after another, it's it's revered by critics and it's

1720
01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 5: it's it's a pretty good movie to see. I mean,

1721
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:02,679
Speaker 5: that wasn't my favorite, but pt Anderson has been buying

1722
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:05,960
Speaker 5: for an oscar for a while for I don't think

1723
01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:08,760
Speaker 5: he won. I don't know if he won one for

1724
01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:12,920
Speaker 5: best Pitch, I can't remember, but you know, it seems

1725
01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:16,000
Speaker 5: to be his year. But recently, if you look at

1726
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:18,800
Speaker 5: some of the wins that we've had, and even when

1727
01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:23,960
Speaker 5: the nominations came out, Sinners is really got a chance.

1728
01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:28,960
Speaker 5: And it has the most nominations ever, like like sixteen Wow,

1729
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 5: and it's been picking up either news or wins here

1730
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:37,920
Speaker 5: and there for these these other ones. And sometimes you

1731
01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 5: do see that shift and momentum and how that is so.

1732
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:46,160
Speaker 5: I mean, like I said, I would say one battle

1733
01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:49,080
Speaker 5: activity another is a safe one. But I would not

1734
01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:50,719
Speaker 5: be surprised if Sinners picks it up.

1735
01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:54,280
Speaker 1: Well in one bat Another great movie. And it's gotten

1736
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:56,479
Speaker 1: some hate, I guess for like portrayals of people, but

1737
01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:59,400
Speaker 1: it is an entertainment medium for that matter. But people

1738
01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:01,880
Speaker 1: seem to all ten times forget that it's show business.

1739
01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:04,519
Speaker 1: It's a show, but I mean even that got what

1740
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:08,200
Speaker 1: thirteen nominations. From what I see in Sinners though, is strong.

1741
01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:11,559
Speaker 1: How unusual would it be for a movie like Sinners

1742
01:33:12,120 --> 01:33:13,880
Speaker 1: to actually get Best Picture.

1743
01:33:15,400 --> 01:33:18,360
Speaker 5: Well, there's a lot of weird things about Sinners that

1744
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:20,400
Speaker 5: would make it notable. One of the things is it

1745
01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:22,439
Speaker 5: came out a lot earlier in the year, as I mentioned,

1746
01:33:22,439 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 5: And we've had those happen, but usually you know, like

1747
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:27,280
Speaker 5: when Titanic won, it came out in December and it

1748
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:30,599
Speaker 5: was still in theaters, you know, while while it won

1749
01:33:30,640 --> 01:33:35,640
Speaker 5: the Oscar but that's a big deal. It's it's notable

1750
01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:39,080
Speaker 5: for racial things because you know, if Ryan Coogler wins

1751
01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:44,320
Speaker 5: Best Director, you know, that's historic. But it's also got

1752
01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:46,560
Speaker 5: the They have a new category of casting, so it

1753
01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:49,840
Speaker 5: could win the casting. It's also odd in the sense

1754
01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:53,200
Speaker 5: that horror movies and and although it's a drama, it's

1755
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 5: about vampires and there's a lot of vampire blood in here.

1756
01:33:56,680 --> 01:34:00,800
Speaker 5: You don't get horror movies winning Best Pick sure all

1757
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:03,240
Speaker 5: that often, like maybe Silence of the Lambs you could

1758
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:06,120
Speaker 5: consider a horror movie, you know, maybe The Shape of

1759
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:10,200
Speaker 5: Water you consider horror adjacent, but you normally don't get

1760
01:34:10,200 --> 01:34:13,559
Speaker 5: that so that those are a bunch of sort of

1761
01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:16,120
Speaker 5: groundbreaking things that would happen if it were to win.

1762
01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:19,280
Speaker 1: Now, and Frankenstein's one of those Best Picture nominations too,

1763
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 1: but nobody's really talking about that that much in that way.

1764
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:26,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't have the momentum. Yeah, it's like centers And.

1765
01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:29,719
Speaker 1: How political is you know what I mean? Like because

1766
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:32,920
Speaker 1: it's so subjective. We've talked about this. What what Ward shows,

1767
01:34:33,040 --> 01:34:35,360
Speaker 1: especially the Academy A Wars does for me, and the

1768
01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:38,760
Speaker 1: same thing even for like the Grammys or whatever for

1769
01:34:38,920 --> 01:34:41,800
Speaker 1: music stuff is it allows me to see stuff I

1770
01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:44,360
Speaker 1: may have missed that it fell through the cracks. That

1771
01:34:44,479 --> 01:34:49,960
Speaker 1: is somehow something special. But otherwise it's very difficult to

1772
01:34:50,360 --> 01:34:52,519
Speaker 1: just say this one's better than that one because they're

1773
01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:53,400
Speaker 1: so diverse.

1774
01:34:54,439 --> 01:34:56,360
Speaker 5: Well yeah, and I mean this is this is the

1775
01:34:56,439 --> 01:34:59,840
Speaker 5: Academy picking the nominees and they're the ones voting on it.

1776
01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:01,600
Speaker 5: You like you, I don't have to say in this.

1777
01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:05,639
Speaker 5: But now when you say political, are you talking about

1778
01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:08,320
Speaker 5: like no, no, no, national politics are like within the

1779
01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:09,840
Speaker 5: you know, inside baseball, pos.

1780
01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:12,720
Speaker 1: Well, I was thinking inside baseball, but you know, there

1781
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:15,760
Speaker 1: probably is a little bit of the world of politics

1782
01:35:15,760 --> 01:35:18,280
Speaker 1: as well. That may sometimes go into stuff as well.

1783
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:21,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, well there is, but you know there always has been.

1784
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:24,400
Speaker 5: I mean, and you you get people complaining every year

1785
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:27,160
Speaker 5: that these are not the highest grossing movies, that these

1786
01:35:27,160 --> 01:35:31,160
Speaker 5: are you know now now and are woke movies. And

1787
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:35,719
Speaker 5: then okay, this was going on ever since I had

1788
01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:41,200
Speaker 5: had was paying attention to oscars. There were always issue

1789
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:44,400
Speaker 5: driven movies and stuff that had politics, you know, in

1790
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:47,759
Speaker 5: terms of national politics around it. So I mean, that's nothing,

1791
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:53,679
Speaker 5: that's nothing new, but I think there's more insider there's

1792
01:35:54,160 --> 01:35:56,240
Speaker 5: you do get inside politics, but it's kind of hard

1793
01:35:56,240 --> 01:35:58,840
Speaker 5: to track that because well, I'll give you a great example,

1794
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:02,679
Speaker 5: you know, like again, going into this three weeks ago,

1795
01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:06,120
Speaker 5: I would have said, Timothy Schallamey is a shoeing for

1796
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:11,800
Speaker 5: Best Actor for Marty Supreme for the movie Yeah, for

1797
01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:14,320
Speaker 5: which a lot of people that there's there's a lot

1798
01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:15,640
Speaker 5: of love for that movie. Then he had to go

1799
01:36:15,640 --> 01:36:18,720
Speaker 5: say something stupid about ballet and opera and there's this

1800
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:22,160
Speaker 5: huge back for it. And I think there was this

1801
01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:24,599
Speaker 5: pent up backlash because he was sort of the golden boy,

1802
01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:27,519
Speaker 5: and then the haters have their opportunity to come out.

1803
01:36:28,320 --> 01:36:30,360
Speaker 5: But I don't know how much that's gonna impact because

1804
01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:34,160
Speaker 5: that story didn't really go viral until about March fifth,

1805
01:36:34,200 --> 01:36:37,360
Speaker 5: which is when voting closed. If he had said something

1806
01:36:37,400 --> 01:36:40,680
Speaker 5: stupid a week before that and it had legs like

1807
01:36:40,720 --> 01:36:44,720
Speaker 5: it did now, I think it would have tanked his chances.

1808
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's very weird to me because it

1809
01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:50,960
Speaker 1: should be about the work and not about anything else.

1810
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:52,600
Speaker 1: Because when I look at the movie, I'm going to

1811
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:55,600
Speaker 1: watch the movie and what's going on, not all the

1812
01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:58,080
Speaker 1: other ancillary stuff. But nothing's in a vacuum, is what

1813
01:36:58,120 --> 01:36:59,160
Speaker 1: it really boils down to.

1814
01:36:59,680 --> 01:37:01,200
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean if you look at what happened

1815
01:37:01,240 --> 01:37:03,000
Speaker 5: with Will Smith, he went up and punched somebody on

1816
01:37:03,040 --> 01:37:04,920
Speaker 5: the stage and then won Best Actor. So it's an

1817
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:08,000
Speaker 5: awkward position already. I mean, uh, you know. And then

1818
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:12,160
Speaker 5: then Timothy Shallomy just sort of was an idiot and

1819
01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:14,200
Speaker 5: said that nobody cared about ballet and opera, and then

1820
01:37:14,200 --> 01:37:15,439
Speaker 5: he found out how much people do.

1821
01:37:16,479 --> 01:37:19,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, the hard way, that's for sure. So what about

1822
01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:22,080
Speaker 1: So the best actor you've got Chalame. You just mentioned

1823
01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:25,120
Speaker 1: DiCaprio for one battle after another, Ethan Hawk, who does

1824
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:27,919
Speaker 1: a great bit of work in Blue mill Stream Sinners.

1825
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:31,200
Speaker 1: What you've talked about is really a tremendous movie. And

1826
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:33,800
Speaker 1: The Secret Agent I completely missed. I have any idea

1827
01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:34,639
Speaker 1: what the y that's about.

1828
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:36,880
Speaker 5: Well, that's that's a that's a foreign film, so it's

1829
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:38,280
Speaker 5: in a different language.

1830
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:40,760
Speaker 1: And it might be what I barely know. Don't make

1831
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:42,439
Speaker 1: fun of me. Don't make fun of me because of

1832
01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:46,519
Speaker 1: my lack of understanding of English, let alone another it's

1833
01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:49,200
Speaker 1: hard to watch. I got to slow it down. You

1834
01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:52,320
Speaker 1: got to keep rewinding and read and look at the pictures.

1835
01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:53,760
Speaker 1: It's a lot for me to deal with.

1836
01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:55,840
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean, I know there's a lot of

1837
01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:58,040
Speaker 5: people who kind of get snobby about that about oh

1838
01:37:58,040 --> 01:37:59,960
Speaker 5: you can't read, well, you can read some titles. Why

1839
01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:03,559
Speaker 5: what it's like, Well, it does take a certain amount

1840
01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:06,040
Speaker 5: of effort, and I understand that.

1841
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I'm just the laziness thing.

1842
01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:12,720
Speaker 5: It's like, if you want to see the action on

1843
01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:14,559
Speaker 5: the screen, you want to see the acting, but then

1844
01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:16,479
Speaker 5: you got to keep looking down at the subtitles. So,

1845
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:20,800
Speaker 5: I mean, I understand that complaint, and that just makes

1846
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:24,559
Speaker 5: it less marketable. It's very rare that we get a

1847
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:30,479
Speaker 5: movie that's that's almost fully subtitled or or majority subtitle

1848
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:33,840
Speaker 5: that clicks with American audiences is a wide one. You know,

1849
01:38:33,960 --> 01:38:37,560
Speaker 5: stuff like Hit, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Those were anomalies

1850
01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:41,720
Speaker 5: and that's just because and there's nothing wrong with that.

1851
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:43,439
Speaker 5: I mean, if if you don't want to have to

1852
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:46,200
Speaker 5: focus on two different things, that's fine. And then wait

1853
01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:48,439
Speaker 5: till it comes to streaming where you can rewind and

1854
01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:51,080
Speaker 5: pause and check and to do stuff again.

1855
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:53,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So talking to Kevic Hard by the way,

1856
01:38:53,200 --> 01:38:55,920
Speaker 1: Silber Gecko and Substag. You can read him, you can

1857
01:38:55,960 --> 01:38:58,799
Speaker 1: see his comics, what will show up in your mailbox,

1858
01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:01,200
Speaker 1: and a whole lot of other stuff. Well, talking to

1859
01:39:01,240 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 1: Sterling on seven hundred wl W, all right, so do

1860
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:05,920
Speaker 1: you wanna do you have a pick? Do you wanna

1861
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:07,519
Speaker 1: how do you want to do this? Do you want

1862
01:39:07,520 --> 01:39:10,679
Speaker 1: to have like your favorites where the smart money is aside?

1863
01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 1: Like you may have a favorite, but like you you

1864
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:15,400
Speaker 1: really if you were gonna wager in the prediction markets,

1865
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:17,479
Speaker 1: you'd say, maybe you want to bet on something else.

1866
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:18,960
Speaker 1: Whatever you want to do, let's do this.

1867
01:39:19,200 --> 01:39:22,120
Speaker 5: Well, I would say I would say the odds favorite

1868
01:39:22,240 --> 01:39:26,400
Speaker 5: is probably the Timothy shallow May, mainly because it was

1869
01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:29,960
Speaker 5: too early to cast. They closed for that to cause

1870
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:31,920
Speaker 5: a problem for But I'd love to see Michael B.

1871
01:39:32,040 --> 01:39:33,800
Speaker 5: Jordan get it because I think either is a great

1872
01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:36,799
Speaker 5: nuanced performance of two different characters in the centers.

1873
01:39:37,040 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 1: Pretty wild playing twins, Yeah, that's for sure. And you

1874
01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:42,040
Speaker 1: got actress and Hamnet Jesse Buckley, I know.

1875
01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:42,519
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1876
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:45,519
Speaker 1: And by the way, uh, it's pretty wild. Jack Crumley

1877
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:48,439
Speaker 1: here came in. He saw if I had legs, i'd

1878
01:39:48,479 --> 01:39:50,720
Speaker 1: kick you forever ago and he's like, Rose Bern you

1879
01:39:50,720 --> 01:39:53,240
Speaker 1: gotta watch it. She's it's tremendous. I finally got a

1880
01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:55,759
Speaker 1: chance to watch it. She's I love her and everything,

1881
01:39:55,920 --> 01:39:58,639
Speaker 1: and I would have I would have her children actually

1882
01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:02,519
Speaker 1: if she'd let Uh. But what a great movie.

1883
01:40:02,560 --> 01:40:04,759
Speaker 5: There's a lot to unpack with that statement.

1884
01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:07,200
Speaker 1: It's totally true, totally true.

1885
01:40:08,479 --> 01:40:08,640
Speaker 9: You know.

1886
01:40:08,720 --> 01:40:11,759
Speaker 5: I think if there's any odds on favorite showing for anything,

1887
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:14,960
Speaker 5: it would be Jesse Barkley for Hampdon. She just some

1888
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:18,200
Speaker 5: The momentum is just there. Every year, there's always that

1889
01:40:18,439 --> 01:40:21,519
Speaker 5: one category that, no matter what happens anywhere else in

1890
01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:24,040
Speaker 5: the wards are like, yeah, that person's winning and and

1891
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:25,559
Speaker 5: and she's the one I think is gonna win this.

1892
01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:30,439
Speaker 1: Gotcha and a supporting actor which I'm always confused because

1893
01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:33,280
Speaker 1: actress is female. But I have friends who are in

1894
01:40:33,320 --> 01:40:36,120
Speaker 1: that business and they're actors and there they call themselves actors,

1895
01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:38,920
Speaker 1: but they're female. So I don't know. I just try

1896
01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:42,200
Speaker 1: not to offend, you know me. Yeah, so as we

1897
01:40:42,240 --> 01:40:47,200
Speaker 1: look at the actress scenario, uh, you're laughing Kate Hudson

1898
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:51,559
Speaker 1: in that song song Blue and Emma Stone. Emma Stone

1899
01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:54,680
Speaker 1: has made some great movies begone, very weird movies and

1900
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:56,920
Speaker 1: great work I love.

1901
01:40:57,040 --> 01:40:59,639
Speaker 5: But by the way, I do love Bogonias. Yes, that's crazy,

1902
01:41:00,160 --> 01:41:03,200
Speaker 5: a fantastic movie. But if you want to talk to

1903
01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:06,720
Speaker 5: the supporting roles, like the supporting actress, honestly, I think

1904
01:41:06,760 --> 01:41:09,679
Speaker 5: it's it's it's up in the air beyond between Tiana

1905
01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:12,680
Speaker 5: Taylor and Amy Maddigan. I'd love Amy Madigan to win,

1906
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:15,360
Speaker 5: just because I thought Weapons was such a fantastic movie

1907
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:21,000
Speaker 5: and her performance was chilling, to say the least. But

1908
01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 5: I think again, the momentum is on Tianna Taylor for

1909
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 5: one battle after another. Hers was such a big performance.

1910
01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:31,160
Speaker 5: Well so was Amy Madigan and then and everyone else

1911
01:41:31,200 --> 01:41:33,680
Speaker 5: as well. But but yeah, that's where I think that

1912
01:41:33,720 --> 01:41:34,360
Speaker 5: win's blowing.

1913
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:37,080
Speaker 1: Talking to Kevin Carr, Silver Gecko on the Substack and

1914
01:41:37,160 --> 01:41:39,840
Speaker 1: to Oscars tonight. If you're into it, love movies. I

1915
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:41,759
Speaker 1: don't know. The award shows can be long, but sometimes

1916
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:44,320
Speaker 1: it's fun. The Golden Globes are fun because everybody gets

1917
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:47,240
Speaker 1: like tanked and says stupid stuff and to lick it up.

1918
01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:49,639
Speaker 1: I enjoy it because it's that kind of fun part.

1919
01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:54,280
Speaker 1: This may be different. Sean Penn Best Supporting Actor Tremendous

1920
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:56,920
Speaker 1: is sick, weird character in one battle after another. And

1921
01:41:56,960 --> 01:42:02,040
Speaker 1: then you got to what Frankenstein was. Aah, that's pretty

1922
01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:05,080
Speaker 1: good and del Toro is incredible in one battle after another.

1923
01:42:05,200 --> 01:42:07,559
Speaker 1: How is that fair? Two guys in the same movie

1924
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:09,360
Speaker 1: for Best Supporting Actor fighting it out.

1925
01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:11,840
Speaker 5: I know that's what that happens sometimes, and that's a

1926
01:42:11,920 --> 01:42:14,040
Speaker 5: dangerous splitting a vote. If you're a fan of the movie.

1927
01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:16,519
Speaker 5: That's that's the one thing that's going against Sean Penn.

1928
01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:20,200
Speaker 5: I think again. Momentums on Sean Penn's side. Now he's

1929
01:42:20,240 --> 01:42:24,240
Speaker 5: won a couple Oscars in his past, but then people

1930
01:42:24,280 --> 01:42:25,720
Speaker 5: forget about him and then he comes out and does

1931
01:42:25,720 --> 01:42:27,479
Speaker 5: a great performance and they're like, oh yeah, this guy

1932
01:42:27,479 --> 01:42:31,240
Speaker 5: can act instead of just being obnoxious I'd love to

1933
01:42:31,240 --> 01:42:34,760
Speaker 5: see Delroy Lindo win though, I mean he is. He

1934
01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:37,519
Speaker 5: has been such a strong actor for years with very

1935
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:40,920
Speaker 5: little recognition, and I think it's great that he's that

1936
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:45,240
Speaker 5: he's getting some spotlight here. But I think there is

1937
01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:48,040
Speaker 5: a chance of splitting the vote between del Toro and Pen.

1938
01:42:48,120 --> 01:42:51,680
Speaker 5: But I really think Sean Penn's probably gonna eke that

1939
01:42:51,720 --> 01:42:52,080
Speaker 5: one out.

1940
01:42:52,360 --> 01:42:54,800
Speaker 1: What a great story for Delroy Lindo too. I mean,

1941
01:42:54,800 --> 01:42:57,519
Speaker 1: like you said, my entire life, I've watched him work,

1942
01:42:57,560 --> 01:42:59,920
Speaker 1: so he's worked regularly. But to be able to find

1943
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:02,280
Speaker 1: only get a role where he gets some attention aside

1944
01:43:02,280 --> 01:43:05,080
Speaker 1: from just paid and continuing to you know, work and

1945
01:43:05,120 --> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 1: make a living is a pretty awesome thing for him.

1946
01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:10,240
Speaker 1: He's like what seventy five eighty years old or something.

1947
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:12,599
Speaker 5: He's up there. Yeah, I don't know his exact date,

1948
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:14,679
Speaker 5: but yeah, he's up there, and he still looks good.

1949
01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:16,800
Speaker 5: You know, he holds it together better than you and

1950
01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:17,360
Speaker 5: I look.

1951
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:22,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm all about self deprecation, but you immediately kicked

1952
01:43:22,439 --> 01:43:24,679
Speaker 1: me in the junk two at that point. That's very hurtful.

1953
01:43:24,680 --> 01:43:27,520
Speaker 5: But you're right, Well, you know, I'm being inclusive.

1954
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:28,720
Speaker 8: That's all that is.

1955
01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:31,120
Speaker 1: Oh, we are all about being inclusive, so you can

1956
01:43:31,160 --> 01:43:34,519
Speaker 1: hate on me too. Sure, I'm fine. Let's we're all

1957
01:43:34,520 --> 01:43:38,720
Speaker 1: about together. We're all snowflakes, don't you know in the end,

1958
01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:42,120
Speaker 1: we're all individuals. Yeah, it's Sterling talking to Kevin Carr

1959
01:43:42,160 --> 01:43:44,720
Speaker 1: Silver Gecko on the sub stack. What have we left out?

1960
01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:48,759
Speaker 1: We talked supporting actors, supporting actor, an actor, and best Actor,

1961
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:50,360
Speaker 1: best actress. What else is there?

1962
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:53,360
Speaker 5: The one thing I do think it's kind of interesting

1963
01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:57,120
Speaker 5: this year is the animated feature and that that oftentimes

1964
01:43:57,160 --> 01:43:59,519
Speaker 5: gets kind of fell by the wayside, and it used

1965
01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:03,160
Speaker 5: to be picked are and dream Works just ruled that category. Uh,

1966
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:07,519
Speaker 5: and and you're you're you're not going to have a

1967
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:12,360
Speaker 5: I don't think you're going to have some There's it's

1968
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:15,800
Speaker 5: not much too for it to be a surprise. But

1969
01:44:15,840 --> 01:44:17,640
Speaker 5: I do think that k Pop Demon Hunters is going

1970
01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:19,320
Speaker 5: to win that one, which is going to be a

1971
01:44:19,360 --> 01:44:23,800
Speaker 5: win for Netflix, and which Netflix has been trying to

1972
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:26,719
Speaker 5: win a major OSCAR for a while, and this this,

1973
01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:29,439
Speaker 5: this is one way, uh that that comes a little closer.

1974
01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:32,400
Speaker 5: But I do think that k Pop Demon hunter is

1975
01:44:32,439 --> 01:44:34,439
Speaker 5: gonna win over something like l e O, which wasn't

1976
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:40,080
Speaker 5: the most beloved and well known film in the Pixar lexico.

1977
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:42,719
Speaker 1: H Yeah, I have a weird question for you because

1978
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:45,920
Speaker 1: you mentioned the fact that this would be the first

1979
01:44:46,600 --> 01:44:48,559
Speaker 1: sort of thing for an animated feature to get that

1980
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:50,960
Speaker 1: kind of love or whatever for like the thing for

1981
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:53,839
Speaker 1: a streaming service or whatever. What I'm what I'm curious

1982
01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:57,040
Speaker 1: about is are we going to see with so much

1983
01:44:57,200 --> 01:45:01,439
Speaker 1: content and stuff being created that is exclusively for streaming

1984
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:04,840
Speaker 1: or nearly exclusively. Well, well, it probably starts seeing more

1985
01:45:04,880 --> 01:45:07,439
Speaker 1: and more of that stuff coming from that world rather

1986
01:45:07,479 --> 01:45:09,520
Speaker 1: than in theater stuff. Yeah.

1987
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:13,160
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, we're already starting to see stuff like that.

1988
01:45:13,240 --> 01:45:17,240
Speaker 5: I mean, you got Frankenstein nominated, and this isn't the

1989
01:45:17,240 --> 01:45:21,080
Speaker 5: first time Netflix has had a predominantly streaming film nominated

1990
01:45:21,600 --> 01:45:26,959
Speaker 5: for Best Picture, and you might start seeing more of that. Especially.

1991
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:31,320
Speaker 5: You have no idea how these major mergers between Paramount

1992
01:45:31,360 --> 01:45:34,360
Speaker 5: and sky Dance and now Paramount and Warner Brothers, and

1993
01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:36,639
Speaker 5: we've been dealing with Fox and Disney for so long

1994
01:45:37,200 --> 01:45:40,599
Speaker 5: that may change. As a marketplace. I think we're still

1995
01:45:40,640 --> 01:45:42,920
Speaker 5: gonna have the theatrical release. You're gonna have the big movies.

1996
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:45,000
Speaker 5: I mean, you're gonna put this, you know, Avatar ands

1997
01:45:45,080 --> 01:45:48,160
Speaker 5: Utopia too, which have been making hundreds and hundreds of

1998
01:45:48,160 --> 01:45:50,040
Speaker 5: millions of dollars. Those are gonna be in the theaters.

1999
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:53,759
Speaker 5: But I think we already have some really great content

2000
01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:58,640
Speaker 5: being generated for streaming. It's just the rules that you

2001
01:45:58,760 --> 01:46:00,599
Speaker 5: got to get it into the theaters and the reason

2002
01:46:00,920 --> 01:46:03,519
Speaker 5: I mean cap pup Team bean Hunters had had a

2003
01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:08,160
Speaker 5: qualifying run as of Frankenstein and anything else, but the

2004
01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:10,160
Speaker 5: most aggressive company is Netflix for that.
