Speaker 1: From the Inquire Sincinnaty dot com is with me full
Speaker 1: of positivity and cheer. Yeah, it's here on the Friday
Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving, and it's kind of this is like Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: gra really, you know, just kind of well holiday gra
Speaker 1: has started the next five weeks. Good luck getting a
Speaker 1: lot of crap done.
Speaker 2: Man's I've been running Errand's out there today and ka, Lee,
Speaker 2: Yeah it's you might you might You thought it was
Speaker 2: like Christmas Eve or something out there on the hall
Speaker 2: on the roads anywhere I went today.
Speaker 1: Gosh, I stopped into uh and we're joined by Richard
Speaker 1: Skinner for Local twelve and Skinny right quick. I had
Speaker 1: to make a quick Kroger run today to get us
Speaker 1: something for lunch. I'm like, yeah, I'll handle it. Dead
Speaker 1: was at work, I'm going to Kroger.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: It was like it was like I needed an escort.
Speaker 1: People are hardcore Thanksgiving shopping right now, let's just put
Speaker 1: it that way.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is the time to do it though, right,
Speaker 4: I mean, oh absolutely, I hope you'd have all your stuff,
Speaker 4: but yeah, this is the this is the day to
Speaker 4: do it. Kind of a dreary day out go get
Speaker 4: your shop and done and get yourself set for Thanksgiving
Speaker 4: for goodness sake, I'm I'm good with that.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, let's talk about this weekend here in the
Speaker 1: big town. And there was a lot to talk about. Literally,
Speaker 1: something happened in every day guys, and a couple of
Speaker 1: things every day. Right, So let's let's jump in first
Speaker 1: off and confront the Burrow issue. Skinny, Yeah, I do
Speaker 1: what are you hearing? Because from all accounts he was
Speaker 1: going to play and now they're waffling on it. Your
Speaker 1: thoughts on what are you hearing?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think, but I don't think you're wrong
Speaker 4: what you're saying. But I don't think by all accounts
Speaker 4: he was going to play. I mean, they always talked
Speaker 4: in terms of let's see how these two weeks go.
Speaker 4: That was a Monday ago, that would take you through
Speaker 4: this week. I think a lot of people jumped to
Speaker 4: the conclusion on Wednesday when he was a full participant
Speaker 4: in practice, which sounded like it was always the plan,
Speaker 4: like that was the day they're gonna put him in
Speaker 4: eleven or eleven. Joe Flaka was gonna be limited because
Speaker 4: that's his regimen right now because of his shoulder, So
Speaker 4: why not get Joe all the snaps and make him
Speaker 4: a full participant.
Speaker 5: I think a lot of people jump to the conclusion of,
Speaker 5: AHw he's gonna play, and he still might. I mean,
Speaker 5: I don't want to rule that out.
Speaker 6: I don't want to poo poo that, but no.
Speaker 4: Down there today talking to Zach Taylor, and I just
Speaker 4: got the vibe that I don't think he's quite comfortable
Speaker 4: in doing this right now making him active in the
Speaker 4: starter in part because they play another game five days
Speaker 4: from now on Thursday.
Speaker 6: That's a big ass to play. That's a big ass.
Speaker 5: For anybody in this league to play a game on
Speaker 5: Sunday and turn around and play on Thursday, let alone
Speaker 5: a guy coming from a coming back from a serious
Speaker 5: injury to do the same thing.
Speaker 4: I think the safest thing to do would be get
Speaker 4: into practice this week. He's gonna only have one practice
Speaker 4: next week. That's just the way the week goes. It's
Speaker 4: a walk through practice, so it's not even a strenuous practice.
Speaker 4: So this was the week to see can we push this?
Speaker 4: How does it feel when we push this? And then
Speaker 4: this off until Thursday to let him play. Edie To
Speaker 4: your point again, I'm not I'm not dissing you on this.
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people took that narrative on window.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's what I'm saying, Yeah, what everybody has
Speaker 1: been saying. And I'm just curious about him myself. There's
Speaker 1: reason I'm asking, sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah he's and he still might. I don't want to
Speaker 4: rule that out because it's not like my place to
Speaker 4: rule out, and they haven't ruled it out. I think
Speaker 4: this if Burrow was going to definitively start and they
Speaker 4: had made up their mind on this, I think exactly
Speaker 4: what it told us today. I could be wrong tomorrow
Speaker 4: because they have till four o'clock to make the decision
Speaker 4: on whether to activate him off the I or not.
Speaker 4: I just I just got the sense that that whole
Speaker 4: Sunday to Thursday thing is a big deal when he's
Speaker 4: weighing this decision.
Speaker 2: Maybe this, maybe this is a dumb question at this point, Skinny,
Speaker 2: given what you just said and what's unfolded this week.
Speaker 2: But okay, let's say he doesn't play Sunday, they lose again,
Speaker 2: which they're going to, and then and then what I
Speaker 2: mean is is he is it a foregone conclusion He's
Speaker 2: coming back no matter what.
Speaker 4: Not a foegone conclusion, but that was asked of Zach today.
Speaker 4: You know what if you're you know, for the for
Speaker 4: the all rights and purposes, all intensive purposes, you're out
Speaker 4: of the playoff mix. You know when he returns, should
Speaker 4: he return. And that's point was winning is important. And
Speaker 4: I don't think he's just important as Zach Taylor for
Speaker 4: his job. I think he means for any player, winning
Speaker 4: is important. And he said, this guy's a football player.
Speaker 4: It's what he does. He wants to play and he's
Speaker 4: help you enough, he's gonna play. And I think that's
Speaker 4: what we're out with that, and I get fans.
Speaker 5: Going, yeah, but what if he gets started again and it.
Speaker 6: Cost next year.
Speaker 4: I remember Zach earlier this season saying, I can't think
Speaker 4: that way. I can't think of a player, you know,
Speaker 4: protecting a player from getting hurt. It's just part of
Speaker 4: the league. If they do, they do, I get the whole.
Speaker 4: If you're out of it, what's the point, Well, it's
Speaker 4: five or six games of reps. It's it's five or
Speaker 4: six games of the career stats. When you start to
Speaker 4: put stats together, nobody wants to hear that there's there's something.
Speaker 6: To that as well.
Speaker 4: And I do think for this highly competitive guy, playing
Speaker 4: is important to him.
Speaker 6: I mean, he.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't have busted his butt to come back early. I
Speaker 4: mean the original timeline for this was like mid.
Speaker 6: December, right, I remember that, Yes, fourteenth, the Clippers game.
Speaker 6: Here we are before Thanksgiving with the thought fight, Oh
Speaker 6: like play this week and he might. So we're still
Speaker 6: early on the timeline here. Because I think that's him,
Speaker 6: it's important to him, and I don't I don't blame
Speaker 6: him for that. I also understand fans of man just
Speaker 6: put him in bubble wrapping. Let's go to next year
Speaker 6: and be done with this. I fully get that. It's
Speaker 6: just not the way these dudes operate.
Speaker 2: And as Zach told our pal Tom Brenneman yesterday morning
Speaker 2: about Joe Burrow, he's just wired different.
Speaker 6: Yes, no, I'll be honest, head. I saw him in
Speaker 6: the locker room Wednesday. I went to Joe Flacco's press
Speaker 6: conference and I had to talk to a couple of
Speaker 6: players in the locker room, and I was leaving earlier
Speaker 6: than it was going to be closed, and I looked
Speaker 6: by Burrow's locker and he's sitting in there. He looked
Speaker 6: like he.
Speaker 5: Had just he had just come from being zero blitz
Speaker 5: sixty seven times, had to avoid it.
Speaker 6: He just looked a mess.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, oh my gosh, that looks awful, wow,
Speaker 4: staring into space. But he also might have just been compartmentalizing. Okay,
Speaker 4: I got back to a full practice. I'm exhausted, all right,
Speaker 4: I can do it. Was It's just he's wired differently.
Speaker 4: There is no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: Yep. Well we're talking to Richard Skinner and Skinny let's
Speaker 1: talk about the football game going on downtown tonight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a big deal. I mean, obviously this has been all
Speaker 1: the chat, elder saying X and uh, I tell you
Speaker 1: two people aren't happy about it, and that would be
Speaker 1: uh Wes Miller and Pat Kelsey. Did you. I read
Speaker 1: that story in the in the Inquiry yesterday and Pat
Speaker 1: Kelsey's like, I'm an elder guy. Yes, this sucks.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: That being said, I think also the ticket prices for
Speaker 4: that event are just a margerie and I think that's
Speaker 4: cost him. But also to your point, I mean, you're
Speaker 4: gonna have twenty five thousand is at paid court tonight and.
Speaker 6: Of those, what are those twenty five thousand?
Speaker 5: Would have thought about going to U see a little
Speaker 5: bit u of l probably not a decent.
Speaker 4: But a chunk of them.
Speaker 1: I do think it's cool.
Speaker 4: A guy that Jason knows, and I owe you know
Speaker 4: him too, Eddie. We're going to say, Tom Gamble, who's
Speaker 4: run high school events?
Speaker 5: Wherever?
Speaker 6: You did?
Speaker 4: This guyline Chilly Crosstown shootout at Nippert Stadium, and I
Speaker 4: always thought that was really cool for the kids. I
Speaker 4: remember the year they had the high school playoff doubleheader
Speaker 4: at at paid Corp had like forty eight thousand. The
Speaker 4: one year they had the Saint ex Cole Raine playoff
Speaker 4: game there. I remember sitting in the stands there with
Speaker 4: a with a guy who sells for iHeart and uh,
Speaker 4: you know, it was just a great game and one
Speaker 4: on an overtime. And I think, whenever you can get
Speaker 4: kids to play in it, then you like this and
Speaker 4: it makes and whenever it makes costs sense, and I
Speaker 4: think it does in this case for sure, I'm all
Speaker 4: for that. I think it's really cool. I mean, one
Speaker 4: of my one of the coolest things I ever did.
Speaker 4: I can still remember this day. And as a fifth
Speaker 4: grader living in Tulsa, Oklahoma, my my fifth grade team
Speaker 4: got to play in halftime of a game in the
Speaker 4: Maybe Center on or Roberts' campus, and I remember my
Speaker 4: name being announced over the speakers, thinking I was the
Speaker 4: coolest thing on planet Earth. I mean, those those are
Speaker 4: really cool events.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought that up up and I hope,
Speaker 2: hopefully this is the start of something. And you know,
Speaker 2: I hopefully the Bengals and will be willing to you know,
Speaker 2: be gracious with our stadium and let other team because
Speaker 2: I you know, you talk about gambo and he no
Speaker 2: one does it better. No one does high school showdowns
Speaker 2: and throw downs and massive events the way he does,
Speaker 2: and he's done such fantastic work on that and to
Speaker 2: it'd be great to allow him to get in there
Speaker 2: and start getting some some big high school events, showcase events,
Speaker 2: you know. I know that's been part of the talk
Speaker 2: this week as well. And yeah, I'm really I mean,
Speaker 2: there's just so many Dagone storylines this week, and we
Speaker 2: you know, it's funny, we're we're seventeen. What, well, we're
Speaker 2: three seventeen. We've talked to you for what ten minutes now, skinny,
Speaker 2: and we've gotten through Burrow and Elder.
Speaker 1: Saint x On on a on a huge weekend. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about talking about the Bearcats and Cardinals. This is
Speaker 1: a big game, and again it's kind of fallen through
Speaker 1: the cracks, and that's a shame it is.
Speaker 4: I mean, I listen, it's a great test for you see,
Speaker 4: and you're not going to get a lot of tests
Speaker 4: in the non conference before they get into Big twelve
Speaker 4: where they'll get a test on literally every night. So
Speaker 4: this was a big deal. You get it in your
Speaker 4: town on a neutral floor. I think that's also a
Speaker 4: big deal. I really like to have this be a
Speaker 4: home at home series.
Speaker 6: I think it's.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked to him yesterday and he was not
Speaker 1: happy about this occurrence.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: No, I think that it's as a Kentucky Granted, it's
Speaker 5: it's paining me that they've not done Kentucky Indiana home
Speaker 5: at home. They're doing it now, but it took a
Speaker 5: while to get back to that. Just it's yeah, no.
Speaker 4: I love for them all, but no, I think this
Speaker 4: is a huge test for you See. I think this
Speaker 4: is where you'll see what are they and what do
Speaker 4: they need to fix or how good are they if
Speaker 4: they beat U of Al. I think l is a
Speaker 4: one of the ten teams you can put in the
Speaker 4: pot and say that's a national championship contender.
Speaker 5: They're back. They're that good of a team.
Speaker 6: So this would be a great yes.
Speaker 5: What you see?
Speaker 1: All right? And also let's not forget on Sunday, well,
Speaker 1: of course in the Bengals Patriots, but at five o'clock
Speaker 1: FC Cincinnati trying to advance and messy and messy. Oh
Speaker 1: and by the way, a soccer player in the world,
Speaker 1: anybody listened to Willie lately? Uh messy, messy, messy.
Speaker 4: And Saturday night you see host d Yu and a
Speaker 4: big football.
Speaker 2: Game, bigon big doon Saturday Fox. People are like, have you,
Speaker 2: I say, do you recall in terms of just the
Speaker 2: breadth of the depth and breadth of the of sports
Speaker 2: on a weekend? And I know, probably in the grand
Speaker 2: scheme most of these games outside of the f C
Speaker 2: Cincinnati obviously, uh well and obviously Saint accent Elder of course.
Speaker 2: Uh you know that these aren't there's not a great
Speaker 2: huge thing at stake and those other handful of games.
Speaker 2: But do you remember a sporting weekend like this in Cincinnati?
Speaker 1: Uh? What would will does anything come to mind?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 6: No, I mean.
Speaker 5: You've got a high school football game in an NFL stadium.
Speaker 5: You've got a big time Division one college basketball game
Speaker 5: literally within walking distance of that major high school football game.
Speaker 4: That great walking distance. But you know, I'm saying you
Speaker 4: can walk the boat. Oh and then by the way, Saturday,
Speaker 4: you've got uh the uc B B why you game
Speaker 4: at night? Nip at night is an awesome and it's
Speaker 4: awesome anyway, it's an awesome environment. And then Sunday you
Speaker 4: may have the return of Joe Burrow and and I
Speaker 4: mean all of this in one week, and Messy and
Speaker 4: and and the game.
Speaker 6: With in Miami. I mean, that is insane for for
Speaker 6: one city to have all that in the weekend.
Speaker 1: Pretty cool, all right, well we'll all enjoy it, and Skinny,
Speaker 1: we will talk to you next week. Buddy, take care.
Speaker 1: You got are our good friend Richard Skinner. So you
Speaker 1: guys all go down there and suck up the lunch

Speaker 1: down at the press box.

Speaker 2: the innovator, the pioneers. It was great to have is
Speaker 2: and then I understand, like the selling name, he writes,
Speaker 2: But yeah, it'll always be Paul Brown Stadium in my heart.
Speaker 1: So in the lunch room there do they serve? Do
Speaker 1: they serve beers? And now you know, because I think
Speaker 1: they used to remember that was a big thing in baseball.
Speaker 2: In baseball like that was always a big thing in
Speaker 2: Saint Louis. Had a tap in the back of the
Speaker 2: press box at old Busch Stadium. When I covered the
Speaker 2: Twins in Minnesota in the Metronome, they always would bring
Speaker 2: a massive tub. All the writers would be back upstairs
Speaker 2: after doing the clubhouse interviews and the latest Lady Peg
Speaker 2: she was the clubhouse or the press box attendant, you know,
Speaker 2: she did all the concessions in the press box. She
Speaker 2: would bring this big tub of like cann cans of
Speaker 2: beer and set it in the back of the press box.
Speaker 2: And those Saint Paul Pioneer press boys and Minneapolis Star
Speaker 2: Tributne boys.
Speaker 1: Enjoyed have a little SuDS and write your stories. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: I remember, I remember the old stories that there being
Speaker 1: taps in the locker room at the Riverfront Stadium and
Speaker 1: those guys would after a game would sit there and
Speaker 1: play cards. And sug down beers for a while.
Speaker 2: Well, I remember, like I remember in ninety eight, I
Speaker 2: was an intern at the Cincinnati Post God Rest his soul,
Speaker 2: and it was in the it was the McGuire Sosa
Speaker 2: home run races at ninety eight. Yeah, and they, you know,
Speaker 2: are the editor there, sent me down do sidebars on that,
Speaker 2: and so I remember going into the clubhouse and Mark
Speaker 2: Grace was drinking a beer in one hand and has
Speaker 2: a cigarette and the other one, and it's like you're
Speaker 2: talking about like, I mean an you wait, mane, this
Speaker 2: is major league sports. And yeah, I mean, but that
Speaker 2: was he wasn't the only one over you know, a
Speaker 2: certain generation of player that did that.

Speaker 1: but this expansion of right of whether they're building a
Speaker 1: whole new facility, right the old building, the.
Speaker 2: Old Coney Island pool was right. It was a big
Speaker 2: controversy at one point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that well, that kind of drifted.
Speaker 2: Was it really a controversy or was it just a
Speaker 2: few small people?
Speaker 1: Well, there was some some locals. There was a group
Speaker 1: of locals. But hey, look I had many great memories

Speaker 1: a beautiful lace. That's where deb and I had our
Speaker 1: wedding reception there in gardens. I saw some concerts there
Speaker 1: at Moonlight Gardens. It was cool. Did they preserve that?
Speaker 1: I think that's all gone, but yeah, we had uh o,
Speaker 1: our reception was there and it was it was quite
Speaker 1: the jam and that well, it was one of those
Speaker 1: things where her mom and dad were like, we're going

Speaker 5: In fact, you're not even finding deals in xboxes because
Speaker 5: you're very hard to find. So the gaming consoles, that's
Speaker 5: about it for TVs. I mean you could walk into
Speaker 5: best Buy this weekend and see just hundreds of TVs
Speaker 5: in boxes, sixty five seventy five eighty five inches TVs
Speaker 5: marked down RIDI go only one while you're there about it?
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen figures on how many TVs the
Speaker 1: these retail outlets move around this time of year.
Speaker 5: I mean I've heard of a million.
Speaker 1: It's got to be a phenomenal number.
Speaker 5: Man, millions. Because they make these TVs specially for Black Friday.
Speaker 5: I mean they're produced all summer, all spring and summer,
Speaker 5: so they can have them ready to go Thanksgiving week,
Speaker 5: because that's the weak. Everybody wants to go in in
Speaker 5: by that big new, big new TV and bigger all
Speaker 5: the time. You know, I remember when sixty five was huge,
Speaker 5: and now oh yeahs odds, I thrown that out. I
Speaker 5: want a bigger one.
Speaker 1: Well, I told you I still uh well know at
Speaker 1: my at my old house and Deb and I have
Speaker 1: a fifty two inch now and that's why we had
Speaker 1: at the old house. And I thought, man, I'm way
Speaker 1: ahead of the game. And I think that cost me
Speaker 1: about thirty two hundred bucks. Oh dang, Now you can
Speaker 1: buy like you're saying though, But I bought it like
Speaker 1: two thousand or something, right, I didn't get that thing.
Speaker 5: For the inches like a bedroom TV correct the inches the.
Speaker 1: Right bedroom for like four hundred bucks. Maybe.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But been talking about these gaming systems, but.
Speaker 5: Inflation going up. With inflation going on, that's about the
Speaker 5: work thing that's gone down in price, the big TV.
Speaker 1: So we're talking about these gaming systems. John, You get
Speaker 1: these games, the kids wear them out in no time
Speaker 1: flat once they learned how to play it. The only
Speaker 1: game I ever learned how to play to that level
Speaker 1: was I had Tiger Woods when I had a game
Speaker 1: with the Nintendo sixty four whatever, what was the.
Speaker 5: Big one for I like the Wii when that came
Speaker 5: out the.
Speaker 1: Way, But anyways, it was Tiger Woods Golf and I
Speaker 1: and I totally defeated. I got really good at it,
Speaker 1: and so it was no good anymore because I could
Speaker 1: go out there and hit the ball. Like my guy
Speaker 1: was like about eight feet tall and weighed four hundred pounds,
Speaker 1: and he could hit the ball about four hundred yards
Speaker 1: and his accuracy was like, okay, he would hit four
Speaker 1: hundred yards and then hit a ball directly into the
Speaker 1: cup from where he landed. So I'm shooting like, you know,
Speaker 1: twenty seven hunder par. So it was kind of after
Speaker 1: the Bill Mickleton right after you get done with it,
Speaker 1: when when you get done with the games, you want
Speaker 1: to trade them in and this is a good thing
Speaker 1: for a game.
Speaker 5: Stop this way. You get done, You get done with them,
Speaker 5: and people just have them sitting in the basement. All
Speaker 5: these old games, you know, NBA two K, two thousand
Speaker 5: and four. I mean it's amazing the old games, the
Speaker 5: old controllers. Oh that's a PlayStation two, you know, and
Speaker 5: that people have around the house. So game Stop next Saturday,
Speaker 5: December sixth, remember that date. They're holding a trade in
Speaker 5: Anything day, and you will then get a game Stop
Speaker 5: credit of around twenty bucks if you just bring some
Speaker 5: stuff in and what type of things to bring in?
Speaker 5: While they're talking about any kind of electronics that will
Speaker 5: fit in a twenty inch by twenty inch square box.
Speaker 5: So you've got old cables, Hdmi cables, wires, game controllers,
Speaker 5: any type of old games, VHS tapes, cassette. Hey, I
Speaker 5: mean you got any type of electronics, bring it to
Speaker 5: game Stop next Saturday.
Speaker 1: It could be in a bag.
Speaker 5: He has a fit and it can't be bigger than
Speaker 5: a twenty by twenty box. Don't bring them up, don't
Speaker 5: bring them an old TV. But then you'll get a
Speaker 5: store credit, So that would be a really nice thing.
Speaker 5: It's funny they list things you can bring and things
Speaker 5: not to bring, and among the things not to bring
Speaker 5: in that twenty inch by twenty inch box dead animals.
Speaker 5: So they said, do not bring in dead squirrel to
Speaker 5: game Stop.
Speaker 1: Damn, Now what am I going to do with it?
Speaker 4: How much?
Speaker 1: How much store credit can you.
Speaker 5: Fll out of the tree? Let's stick it in the
Speaker 5: box and bring it to game stop because credit.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Jason's a good question, John, how much credit
Speaker 1: do you get for this stuff? Did they kind of
Speaker 1: look at it and go, I'll give you a I think.
Speaker 5: They look at it and you go, you get ten bucks,
Speaker 5: you get twenty bucks, you get twenty five bucks. Now
Speaker 5: here's the thing, and this is this is kind of
Speaker 5: really good sneaky on the part of game Stop. They
Speaker 5: know that people going to be trading in old video games, consoles,
Speaker 5: controllers and all that. Do you know that some of
Speaker 5: that stuff is really valuable? So someone will say, I
Speaker 5: have this old nes system from nineteen what was it,
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty nine, nineteen ninety, you know, the original Nintendo.
Speaker 5: You bring that in. That thing's worth like two hundred
Speaker 5: bucks on eBay, you know, and so it's gonna donate
Speaker 5: at the game stop to get a ten dollars credit.
Speaker 5: So watch out what you bring in because some of
Speaker 5: those old game consoles may be the old Super Nintendo.
Speaker 5: Look them up on eBay before you trade them in
Speaker 5: for ten or twenty bucks because you want to be
Speaker 5: able to get some good money from Also, watch out
Speaker 5: with VHS tapes. You know, it's like, oh man, the
Speaker 5: kids have a closet full of VHS tapes in the basement.
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna bring those. Watch out. If it's like
Speaker 5: an unopened Disney Winnie the Pooh movie or something, that
Speaker 5: thing could be worth one hundred bucks. You might want
Speaker 5: to look it up on the first Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: letters pay for those old Disney movies on VHS.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I'm not giving up my
Speaker 1: old VHS tape.
Speaker 5: So you know why, John, I know the kind of
Speaker 5: movies you watched on Yeah, well you and watching them
Speaker 5: since nineteen eighty seven.

Speaker 1: getting it done son Nikki six. Absolutely, we'll see if
Speaker 1: he's If he makes it that far, he's there, We'll
Speaker 1: talk to Rose. They all make it that far, Rose
Speaker 1: Marie after the news right now, News Radio seven hundred
Speaker 1: w l W all right back on the Eddie and
Speaker 1: Rocky Show, Rock Out Today. Jason Williams from the Inquirer
Speaker 1: Cincinnati dot Com is with me, and Jason's beginning to
Speaker 1: look a lot like concert season at Riverban six. I've
Speaker 1: been seeing all these announcements coming out. I don't know
Speaker 1: how many shoot there, I want to say a dozen
Speaker 1: shows I've seen announced or something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, really nice lineup so far already. Uh you got
Speaker 2: Jack Johnson, Train, Motley Crue, Rod Stewart.
Speaker 1: The other Rod Stewart thing kind of surprised me because
Speaker 1: I thought that this was going to be kind of
Speaker 1: it for him on this tour. But Rod Stewart, he's
Speaker 1: like still kicking in Nick Jagger territory. He's got to
Speaker 1: be pushing eighty if he's like he just keeps on going. Well,
Speaker 1: here to discuss is our good friend Rose Marie Moring.
Speaker 1: She's a marketing director for using an event management ink
Speaker 1: here in town, and also who happens to be one
Speaker 1: of the main bookers for Riverbend. Rose Marie always our pleasure.
Speaker 7: Hi, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Hey, so let me let me ask you, Rose Marie.
Speaker 1: It used to be you guys would with Riverbend, especially,
Speaker 1: it would there'd be I still have one of those
Speaker 1: and it's stuck to my refrigerator. You're you won't believe this,
Speaker 1: But when those little you know whatever, it was three
Speaker 1: by ten piece of paper that had the whole line
Speaker 1: up on it. I still have the one from I
Speaker 1: think it's ninety seven stuck to my refrigerator.
Speaker 7: Oh wow, I know. I think back then we used
Speaker 7: to do like a big announcement announced the whole season,
Speaker 7: like at once in the springtime.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I remember
Speaker 1: having you on the old Morning show and like there'd
Speaker 1: be like, Oh, we're gonna have Rosemrie on on Wednesday
Speaker 1: morning or whatever and run down what all you guys have.
Speaker 1: But now it just kind of comes in drips and drabs,
Speaker 1: and here we are not even Thanksgiving, and like I said,
Speaker 1: you guys have announced Shoot, maybe ten dozen shows.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a lot, but you know what, I think
Speaker 7: everyone all the tours are thinking, you know, what makes
Speaker 7: a greater Christmas gift or a Hanuka gift or holiday
Speaker 7: gifts than the gift of music?
Speaker 1: So that makes sense.
Speaker 7: Yeah, So they're all trying to just get a get
Speaker 7: on sale and let people know that they're coming so
Speaker 7: people can make their plans for next summer. And we've
Speaker 7: announced eight shows so far. I know, it feels like
Speaker 7: a dozen when you were saying that, because this is
Speaker 7: usually our downtime too, and I feel like there is
Speaker 7: no downtime anymore. But we do have two more announcements
Speaker 7: coming in the first week a December, so that's we're
Speaker 7: not done yet.
Speaker 1: Is this, Rose Marie? Is this?
Speaker 2: Is this pretty typical that you would buy this point,
Speaker 2: have this many announcers? It get earlier earlier every year
Speaker 2: in which you roll out the concerts.
Speaker 7: It's starting to feel like it's getting earlier and earlier. Yeah,
Speaker 7: Like there's some shows we put on sale a year
Speaker 7: in advance. It's crazy, I know, And I think it's
Speaker 7: just because there's so many tours out there too that
Speaker 7: they all don't want to step on each other's toes.
Speaker 7: So the earlier you start going out and then you
Speaker 7: just keep rolling.
Speaker 6: Them out a week after week.
Speaker 7: We're going to get a couple of weeks off, some
Speaker 7: a break over the holidays, and then we're going to
Speaker 7: hit the grounds running again in January.
Speaker 6: We already have a.
Speaker 7: Bunch more announcements coming, and it's feeling like this year
Speaker 7: or next year, twenty twenty six is going to be
Speaker 7: a very busy concert season.
Speaker 1: Wow, Now, can you give us any hints? I know
Speaker 1: you're not going to, but I have to ask.
Speaker 7: I will tell you that the announcements in December. One's
Speaker 7: going to be a nostalgia band that everyone I think
Speaker 7: he's gonna love, and the other one is some blast
Speaker 7: from the past that hasn't really been around in a while,
Speaker 7: so I think it'll peak some peak people's interests.
Speaker 1: You have, Paul McCartney.
Speaker 7: No, but I told what you were saying about Rod
Speaker 7: Stewart and this is the one last time farewell to us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so forever young gosh. Hopefully Drew will play that
Speaker 2: in force.
Speaker 1: And one now, what wasn't wasn't he? There wasn't he?
Speaker 1: Had River been this year? It seems to me or
Speaker 1: was I thinking last year because it all runs behind him.
Speaker 7: No, so what you're thinking of? He was supposed to
Speaker 7: be with Billy Joel at the Football Stadium when Billy
Speaker 7: Joel announced, you know, he had fallen ill that they
Speaker 7: canceled that. So now Rod Stewart is just going out
Speaker 7: on his own for twenty twenty six to say goodbye
Speaker 7: to the fans.
Speaker 1: How big how big of a get is Motley Crue?
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, depends on who he is, ask Yeah,
Speaker 7: I mean, I mean, this is this is a state.
Speaker 2: This is I mean when I think of stadium bands,
Speaker 2: this is Motley Crue and obviously they've been around forever.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and.
Speaker 7: It's a great package, like with Tesla and Extreme. It's
Speaker 7: just like it's one of those the eighties. I think
Speaker 7: a lot of people are going to go back and
Speaker 7: relive their high school days and it's going to be
Speaker 7: a lot of fun. We're looking forward to it. There
Speaker 7: are always a great group to work with too.
Speaker 1: Rosemary Morning is our guest, and are you going to
Speaker 1: have any any of the festival style stuff? Because I was,
Speaker 1: I mean again dating myself, but one of my favorite
Speaker 1: show well days I ever spent at Riverbend was a
Speaker 1: lot Lapalooza back in the day when it was just
Speaker 1: getting started, and maybe maybe you can put a year
Speaker 1: on it, but it was the year that Pearl Pearl
Speaker 1: Jam was part of Pearl Jam is just getting started
Speaker 1: and they played like fourth already in the afternoon or
Speaker 1: something like that. Oh wow, is cool ninety four or
Speaker 1: something like that. I want to say ninety three, but yeah,
Speaker 1: but didn't there. You know, they we've had a bunch
Speaker 1: of those type of things. There were going to see
Speaker 1: more of that.
Speaker 7: No, you know what, it seems like the festivals they're
Speaker 7: not traveling anymore, like Lollapalooza or and you know, Lilith
Speaker 7: Fair used to come every summer too as well. But
Speaker 7: I think they kind of packs themselves in like a
Speaker 7: big city where everybody you know, knows when it's going
Speaker 7: to be every year, and they get the big lineups
Speaker 7: and stuff. But I don't think it became very It
Speaker 7: stops being cost effective to travel and doing those big festivals,
Speaker 7: so you won't be seeing any of those like remember
Speaker 7: Warped Tour too. I mean that used to be every year.
Speaker 7: Fans used to look forward to that one. But we
Speaker 7: won't have any of those types festivals. But you know,
Speaker 7: Outlaw Music Festival has been coming back year after year,
Speaker 7: so you know, we're looking forward to maybe having that again.
Speaker 7: And there's going to be so many more other acts
Speaker 7: and bands that we're going to be announcing on the
Speaker 7: horizon that I think we'll definitely have something for everyone.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you, as far we all know
Speaker 1: the legend of Jimmy Buffett coming there and other the
Speaker 1: legend of Jimmy Moore, Jim Moring, jim that legend that large,
Speaker 1: that large, that large image looms over the city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: I agreed, But but but Jimmy Buffett and we all
Speaker 1: know the legend and him playing there five nights in
Speaker 1: a row or whatever it was, the years in a
Speaker 1: row at his peak, and what is has anything replaced
Speaker 1: that for you? Because I know that the you know,
Speaker 1: the Coral Reefer Band tours and stuff like that is
Speaker 1: are you still getting that kind of crowd for shows
Speaker 1: like that?
Speaker 7: Well, I mean to your point, Karrel Reefer Band definitely
Speaker 7: has kind of filled the void that Jimmy Buffett left,
Speaker 7: But I don't think that there's ever going to be
Speaker 7: another one like him. I would say maybe like a
Speaker 7: Tinny Chesney. It comes close to that in a sense
Speaker 7: that it's more like the Potti atmosphere. But no, Jimmy
Speaker 7: Buffett played fifty two shows at River Bend over the
Speaker 7: span of I think it was thirty five years. But
Speaker 7: we really enjoy you know, Coral Reefer Band was back
Speaker 7: this summer and then the previous summer. So we're hoping
Speaker 7: that maybe they start making that a tradition and just
Speaker 7: try to keep the memory of Jimmy Buffett alive, especially
Speaker 7: in Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: As you talk about there's something for everyone, Rose Marie,
Speaker 2: and it made me think, you guys are working on
Speaker 2: the project of expanding Riverbend. How was that coming along?
Speaker 2: When is when's that going to be done? What's that
Speaker 2: all going to look like? And I assume probably you'll
Speaker 2: be announcing at this time of the year even more
Speaker 2: concert just once everything's up and running.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So, well, it's not technically expanding River Bend. We're building
Speaker 7: a whole new ample got so the Farmer Music Center
Speaker 7: is going is scheduled to open in spring twenty twenty seven,
Speaker 7: and construction is moving along on schedule. Knock on wood
Speaker 7: right now, and we are going to be making some
Speaker 7: you know, exciting announcements about that in January and then
Speaker 7: again as the year goes on next year, and where
Speaker 7: we think people are going to be very excited when
Speaker 7: they start seeing the renderings and the drawings and it's
Speaker 7: it's a beautiful thing. You know, River Bend has a
Speaker 7: lot of nostalgia, it has a lot of great memories,
Speaker 7: but it's old and this new state of the art building,
Speaker 7: I think people are going to experience music on a
Speaker 7: whole different level. And it's just it's going to be incredible.
Speaker 7: That's why it's going to be great, great for the city.
Speaker 1: And I'm obviously you've seen all the all the planning
Speaker 1: and the rendering, Like you said, can you give us
Speaker 1: a clue of some what's the how about capacity? Is
Speaker 1: it going to be more or less the same as
Speaker 1: what Riverband stands right now, which I believe Riverbend completely
Speaker 1: packed is seventeen eighteen right.
Speaker 7: Nope, it's twenty thousand, five hundred, Yeah, And the new
Speaker 7: Amphitheater will be similar capacity. The only difference is going
Speaker 7: to be there's going to be more reserved seats. So
Speaker 7: right now Riverband has fifty four hundred reserved seats and
Speaker 7: the rest is lawn new building. The new Amphitheater will
Speaker 7: have eight thousand reserved seats in a twelve thousand capacity line.
Speaker 2: Wow, what becomes of the current River Bend Amphitheater? Does
Speaker 2: that become some other venue once this is up and running, or.
Speaker 7: Well it's going Riverbend is going to remain there? When
Speaker 7: going to tear it down or anything. And the plan
Speaker 7: many you know down the road is too We're creating
Speaker 7: a music campus, if you will. Once farm a Music
Speaker 7: center comes online, we'll still have River Bend and then
Speaker 7: with the P and C pavilion, it creates a unique
Speaker 7: situation where if we wanted to do like a full
Speaker 7: blown festival, we would have three permanent stages, all permanent
Speaker 7: infrastructure with bathrooms and things like that. But you know
Speaker 7: that we're right now, we're just focused on getting the
Speaker 7: new Amphitheater open and introducing it to everyone and really
Speaker 7: excited about the acts that we're going to be able
Speaker 7: to bring to Cincinnati and excited.
Speaker 1: All right, that's awesome. Well, Rose Mury, Marie, we appreciate
Speaker 1: you talking to us, and uh, I'm sure we're going
Speaker 1: to be hearing from you a lot more in the
Speaker 1: near future.
Speaker 7: Yes, and you guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving and we'll talk.
Speaker 1: Soon you to do the same. Bel Jim, we thank.
Speaker 7: You, we will.
Speaker 1: I will thank you for While we're talking about Jim
Speaker 1: Mooring who runs the Holy Grail downtown, Our Good our
Speaker 1: good Friend, where we've done many many shows. Is is
Speaker 1: her husband great great couple of great folks. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: Jim's such such an awesome guy. But I'm excited about
Speaker 1: the But you you were talking, you and I were
Speaker 1: talking off there. But you look at some of the
Speaker 1: line up there and they certainly know their audience big
Speaker 1: time with the nostalgia when she says nostalgia acts and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. One of those why I think one
Speaker 1: of the things I saw was coming was I think foreigner.
Speaker 1: Who is it? Foreigner? That's the one I just saw. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and thanks Drew, Drew. It's not a foreigner. It's with foreigners.
Speaker 2: Joking, but that officially is what it says on the thing.
Speaker 2: But I'm just I'm joking, man.
Speaker 1: Well, Rocky and I saw a couple of years ago
Speaker 1: was foreigner with White Snake, And you see that David
Speaker 1: covered Out is retiring and when Rocky and I saw
Speaker 1: white Snake three years ago, four years ago, whenever that
Speaker 1: was he should have retired then, Yeah, because what he
Speaker 1: was singing fine, and then he got about half a
Speaker 1: dozen songs into it, and man, his voice just that
Speaker 1: when he could put was that when he was here? Yeah, okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: with that thought in mind, here I go again. Here
Speaker 1: we go again, with traffic and weather. What is going on?
Speaker 1: Because the law, especially stuff like contract law and in
Speaker 1: this case copyright law, is generally out of my realm
Speaker 1: of comprehension, but sometimes I think it's kind of funny.
Speaker 1: Case in point, here's the headline from this story. Well,
Speaker 1: the real slim Shady please stand up. Eminem sues Beach
Speaker 1: Brand swim Shady for trademark infringement. Now see, I give
Speaker 1: him style points for coming up with swim shady. I
Speaker 1: think that's cool. But here to discuss whether or not
Speaker 1: our good friend do not think it's cool, has barely
Speaker 1: not here to discuss with this is our good friend,
Speaker 1: John Risby, the patent professor, John always our pleasure, welcome,
Speaker 1: The pleasure is.
Speaker 8: Mine and you're absolutely right. Eminem is not happy about this.
Speaker 8: In fact, he has petitioned to cancel the trademark for
Speaker 8: swim Shady, and that's an Australian beach our company that
Speaker 8: has that has filed for that trademark in the United States.
Speaker 8: But Eminem has had the trademark since two thousand and
Speaker 8: one and clearly believes he has superior rights. When I
Speaker 8: say the trademark, he doesn't have swim Shady, of course,
Speaker 8: he has slim Shady. Sure, and difference is one letter,
Speaker 8: and that's his argument that his his fan, his consumer base,
Speaker 8: that this confusion in the marketplace and it's diluting the
Speaker 8: distinctiveness of his brand.
Speaker 1: Does he have it? Does he have a good case here?
Speaker 8: So I think he does have a good case. And
Speaker 8: some people might say, well, wait a minute, that this company,
Speaker 8: Australian Beachware, sells beachware and tote bags and umbrellas, and
Speaker 8: nobody in the right mind would get that confused with
Speaker 8: Eminem and think that he's expanding into those types of
Speaker 8: products and the product line. However, companies and especially celebrities
Speaker 8: expand all.
Speaker 1: Of the time.
Speaker 8: And what particularly makes his case I think stronger, is
Speaker 8: that he has filed a trademark for mom Spaghetti years ago,
Speaker 8: based on his two thousand and two hit Lose Yourself,
Speaker 8: and in fact has trademarked and sold pasta and has
Speaker 8: a restaurant based on that name. So certainly he has
Speaker 8: expanded beyond entertainment services in the past, and it's very
Speaker 8: reasonable for him to expect that his you know, his
Speaker 8: fans are going to think that he's somehow associated with
Speaker 8: this company swim Shady. So I think he has has
Speaker 8: a really strong case. In some cases, parody is a defense.
Speaker 8: So if you're doing something and you're making fun, there
Speaker 8: are defenses that have been successful in the past. Like Mattel,
Speaker 8: for example, sued MCA Records for the song Barbie Girl,
Speaker 8: and the courtell that you know, yes, you may not
Speaker 8: like it, you may not like the depiction, but it's
Speaker 8: a parody, and in that case they figure that consumers
Speaker 8: are not going to be confused and think that Mattel
Speaker 8: is putting out this song.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 8: There's been several other cases where parodies have been supported
Speaker 8: and been a successful defense. They're a dog toy known
Speaker 8: as a chewy viton, which is a.
Speaker 1: Chewable that's funny it is.
Speaker 8: And that's you know, parody is that's exactly the defense
Speaker 8: saying hey, lighten up. This is a joke, h and
Speaker 8: consumers are going to understand it as a joke. And
Speaker 8: in that case, the court sided with the defendants and
Speaker 8: said that you know what, nobody in the right mind
Speaker 8: would think that Doug toy is put out by Louis Baton.
Speaker 8: Another case, Bad Spaniels is a product that's put out
Speaker 8: and it looks it's shaped like a Jack Daniels whiskey
Speaker 8: bottle and the course of it. Again, Uh, it's parody.
Speaker 8: It's all in fun. No one's going to think that
Speaker 8: there's confusion.
Speaker 1: We don't have a you know.
Speaker 8: Of course, the petition has only been filed. We don't
Speaker 8: have a decision yet. But I tend to think that
Speaker 8: Eminem's case is different, uh, and that this is not good.
Speaker 8: The parody defense is not going to be successful, and
Speaker 8: that he will be able to cancel the trademark for
Speaker 8: swim swim shading. And they're clearly confusing, because I have
Speaker 8: to slow down as I say.
Speaker 5: Both marks. So sure it is, you know, they're very close.
Speaker 1: So John Risby, the pad Professor, is our guest. And
Speaker 1: so John, is this a swim shady brand? Are they
Speaker 1: trying to break into the US market? Are they already
Speaker 1: here and they're just kind of this is their new
Speaker 1: marketing ploy or is this just strictly Australian right now?
Speaker 8: Yeah, so no, they once you file in the United States,
Speaker 8: they're clearly indicated desires market. But it's still very new.
Speaker 1: It wasn't.
Speaker 8: Their filing was not until twenty twenty three, whereas Eminem's
Speaker 8: filing for slim Shady was way back in two thousand
Speaker 8: and one, so there's no doubt he has superior rights.
Speaker 8: Another kind of little tidbit that's weakening the case for
Speaker 8: swim Shady is that their original trademark was for slim
Speaker 8: shade shade in Australia. Out in the United States, they
Speaker 8: changed it from slim Shade to swim Shady. So there's
Speaker 8: so new in this market that they don't have. You know,
Speaker 8: superior rights are clearly going to belong to Eminem. Parody
Speaker 8: might be a possible defense, but I think it's a
Speaker 8: weak defense in this case. Although I agree with you
Speaker 8: it is fun, but that's well, that's not enough.
Speaker 1: So John, we're talking to John Risby, the pad professor.
Speaker 1: So let's say they had tried to break into this
Speaker 1: market but use the just swim shade phrase. Would do
Speaker 1: you think that that would have passed scrutiny?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so.
Speaker 8: I don't think so. I mean there's a lot of
Speaker 8: times potential Friendsure they do try that, but it's not
Speaker 8: the you know, the Trademark Office looks at the overall
Speaker 8: impression of the word, and sometimes we'll see it with
Speaker 8: different spellings, and you'll see the word for like for you,
Speaker 8: just making this up, lawyers for you, but instead of
Speaker 8: f O R, somebody might try the number four. It's clever,
Speaker 8: but it's not enough to you know, the Trademark Office
Speaker 8: seeds beyond that, and and and said, you know what
Speaker 8: it's you know, it's nice you're not using the exact
Speaker 8: same phrase, but that's not enough for consumers not to
Speaker 8: be confused. And especially in a case where where something
Speaker 8: you know, in a commercial, where it's oral, it's audio,
Speaker 8: it's not written. Uh, nobody can really tell how a
Speaker 8: certain word is spelled for sure, So so that weekends
Speaker 8: the argument as well that the spelling is enough of
Speaker 8: a difference.
Speaker 2: I always find these cases you discussed, these copyright kate
Speaker 2: like fascinating because it's like they're so open ended, right,
Speaker 2: there's it's not so clear cut, Like, ay, what.
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 2: These are different words, different spellings, and yet and yet
Speaker 2: like and where does it like we all know, like
Speaker 2: American culture knows slim shady but like it? At what
Speaker 2: point does that? I mean, is it a popular thing
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: And so does that have anything to do with the
Speaker 2: fact that, like, I would understand this if this was
Speaker 2: back in the early two thousands when that song was
Speaker 2: incredibly popular and you tried to do this, But I mean,
Speaker 2: it's not like, you know, this is playing on radio
Speaker 2: stations and on iPod or whatever iPods on you know
Speaker 2: iTunes all over America right now and everybody's talking about
Speaker 2: on social media. Does that have anything to do with
Speaker 2: with with helping swim Shady's case or the fact that
Speaker 2: this is not really popular right now?
Speaker 8: I mean, that is an argument. But sometimes in these
Speaker 8: cases you use surveys. So if something falls out of
Speaker 8: you know, where people just don't know what something is anymore,
Speaker 8: then of course that would help to show that there's
Speaker 8: no consumer confusion. But this is These kind of cases
Speaker 8: are kind of a wake up call for business owners
Speaker 8: that just because they think something is clever, to be
Speaker 8: careful do a proper trademark search because somebody might own
Speaker 8: rights to that. And in this case, even if it's
Speaker 8: a completely different field, when it comes to celebrities, they're
Speaker 8: known as their marks, and their persona is known as
Speaker 8: it's being famous, and the standards are higher. If it's
Speaker 8: a famous mark, then they're not just tied to what
Speaker 8: their current goods or services are, like maybe they're entertainment services,
Speaker 8: and you can't just assume that, well, you know, eminem
Speaker 8: would not ever be interested in selling umbrellas or swimwear
Speaker 8: or beach bags of they're not going to care. But
Speaker 8: there's lawyers that monitor the Trademark Office database and when
Speaker 8: they see a trademark that they believe is weakening their clients'
Speaker 8: rights than they oppose. And some might say they're the tigets,
Speaker 8: but the reality is trademark rights are use it or
Speaker 8: lose it. So if they don't oppose, they weakened the marks,
Speaker 8: and then the next person that comes forward they have
Speaker 8: even less of a chance to stop them. It's very
Speaker 8: similar to property law. If your neighbor puts a fence
Speaker 8: up on your side of the property line in a
Speaker 8: lot of states, in Florida, for example, you have seven
Speaker 8: years otherwise the property line actually changes by adverse possession.
Speaker 1: So if they're open hostile.
Speaker 8: Use of your property, you have a duty to speak up.
Speaker 8: And if you don't speak up. In Florida it's seven years,
Speaker 8: but different states have a different amount of time. If
Speaker 8: somebody doesn't speak up to protect their real property, their land,
Speaker 8: the property line changes. And branding is the same way.
Speaker 8: If you don't protect your brand and enough time goes by,
Speaker 8: then the course we'll look at it and say, you
Speaker 8: know what, look at all these other people that have
Speaker 8: named similar to yours. You didn't speak up, then, so
Speaker 8: your rights have been abandoned and you no longer have
Speaker 8: a strong protection. So Eminem in a way, he's in
Speaker 8: a tough position, like if if he does something, there
Speaker 8: might be some backlash from his fans. Right, it looks
Speaker 8: like he doesn't have a sense of humors, you know,
Speaker 8: over the uptight. If he doesn't, if he does, go forward.
Speaker 8: But if he doesn't, and this is swim shady, what's
Speaker 8: going to happen when there's two, three, four, and before
Speaker 8: you know it, a bunch of variations and now he
Speaker 8: has lost protection to protect me, it's not as distinctive anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I can see it. Now, I'm going to
Speaker 1: start my new line of fool cleaning supplies called skim Shady,
Speaker 1: and off we go with that job. We will, we
Speaker 1: will let you go, buddy. People want to find out
Speaker 1: you under that registered trademark. Where can they go?
Speaker 8: Yeah, so our registered trademark is the patent Professor, so
Speaker 8: you can find it. That's our handle Instagram, Facebook, TikTok
Speaker 8: and uh. If you are serious about skim Shady, reach
Speaker 8: out to me and we'll work coming out. We'll make
Speaker 8: sure that try our best to check that for you.
Speaker 8: No guarantees that you won't yours won't be a canted
Speaker 8: as well, because eminem is watching.
Speaker 1: You're an expert in these matters. We'll figure out a
Speaker 1: worker house. Thanks buddy, Thank you. All right, take the pad,
Speaker 1: Professor John Risby, And with that we check in with
Speaker 1: traffic and weather. What's going on with Jason Williams and
Speaker 1: for Rock. So, Jase, are you going to any of
Speaker 1: the Well, you'll be at the Bengals game on Sunday, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll be.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna cover the b y U U

Speaker 2: Saturday night you seed Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 1: Now on Sundays, what time you generally at the stadium
Speaker 1: for a one o'clock game?
Speaker 4: Sect?
Speaker 1: I usually just get into the.
Speaker 2: Press box, uh, half hour forty five minutes before. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: try to park like an hour before the game, and
Speaker 2: I park usually pretty far away, so I walk. Well,
Speaker 2: you've been park at the Quire building, right, Yeah, Well
Speaker 2: we get I got a parking pass. It's I usually
Speaker 2: parked down underneath Great American Ballpark and then walk just
Speaker 2: walked between the two stadiums.
Speaker 1: That's a little bit of a haul though, but whatever.
Speaker 1: I like to get my steps in on it Sunday morning.
Speaker 1: It's not along the way. Hit a couple of tailgates
Speaker 1: every supple bride a couple of beers and stuff. Without
Speaker 1: without fail, you get the get the jay, the the
Speaker 1: whiff that the jay man loves.
Speaker 5: Ah.
Speaker 1: Yes, without fail.
Speaker 2: That that's the modern day tailgate right there, because uh,
Speaker 2: I've been tailgating for a long time college games, and
Speaker 2: that that that never you never that smell well at
Speaker 2: tailgates that the recent years. Jason brings it up, is
Speaker 2: we're gonna be talking to our good friend Jerry, the
Speaker 2: j Man coming up for his Uh, we're gonna call
Speaker 2: it the jay Man's Thanksgiving Spectacular because I just saw
Speaker 2: an interesting story today and I think he'll get a
Speaker 2: big kick out of it. But essentially it's I forget
Speaker 2: what it's It's called that. There was a story and
Speaker 2: I think it was Wall Street Journal for like, I
Speaker 2: forget what percentage is a large percentage of people who
Speaker 2: who do the I think it's called the cousin walk
Speaker 2: or something like that. You'll be sitting there and you know,
Speaker 2: Grandma or Mom's go, we're gonna be eating here in
Speaker 2: about fifteen to twenty minutes. All right, well we're gonna
Speaker 2: take the talk for a walk and come back fully
Speaker 2: uh baked? Does that punkin pie? Ready to be ready
Speaker 2: to chill down right? Ready for the they got the munchies, Yeah,
Speaker 2: big time, ready ready to eat.
Speaker 1: But that is see, I haven't been down to the
Speaker 1: I've been down to a few tail gates. I haven't
Speaker 1: noticed that though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's every every Bengals home game the way the
Speaker 2: route that I walk, inevitably.
Speaker 1: I get the whiff. Yeah, yes, well see that's the thing.
Speaker 1: You can't really downgrade anybody because you're sitting there doing
Speaker 1: shots at like eight point thirty.
Speaker 2: Last time I went, I I walk in the sidewalk
Speaker 2: and there's a guy who thinks he's being subtle about him,
Speaker 2: but he's got the door open to his suv taking
Speaker 2: a leak right there, right.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, but that's you're not.
Speaker 2: We all can see, you know, like the splash down
Speaker 2: in the concrete.
Speaker 1: Cop will be like, oh well, at least he tried
Speaker 1: to hide behind the door. Yeah right. We'll be talking
Speaker 1: to j Man after the news right now, News Radio
Speaker 1: seven hundred and w l W. All right back with
Speaker 1: the Idean Rockey Show rock out today. Jason Williams from
Speaker 1: the Inquire Cincinnati dot Com. It's with me here on Friday.
Speaker 1: But not just any Friday, Jayson, The Friday before Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: now is the Wednesday before Thanksgivings. That's still the big
Speaker 1: bar night. I haven't people talk about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't heard anybody talk about it this year,
Speaker 2: but I'm somebody mentioned it last year about it being
Speaker 2: a big bar night.
Speaker 1: Well, the new trend for Thanksgiving. This was in the
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal, a new Thanksgiving tradition. Maybe half of
Speaker 1: the people there are stoned. And so that got me
Speaker 1: to thinking about talking to our good friend, the jay man,
Speaker 1: Jerry Joiner. Let's go weed and whiskey the whole night,
Speaker 1: and the the his whole website and the whole nine yards.
Speaker 1: Jerry will get into all that. But how you doing, buddy.
Speaker 3: Man, I'm doing great, guys down here in Texas. Everybody's
Speaker 3: getting ready to stuff their bird and light up their herb,
Speaker 3: have a good thank you giving.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And now, Jerry, this is the first I've heard
Speaker 1: that there was a name for this. They're causing it
Speaker 1: to calling the cousin Walk. Have you heard that phrase before?
Speaker 3: Because I had, guys, that went right off the top
Speaker 3: of my head because I ain't got no hair, but
Speaker 3: cousin walk.
Speaker 1: Tell me about it. Well, that's what it says. It's called, Bob.
Speaker 1: I'll just read it right from the story from the Journal.
Speaker 1: It's called the cousin Walk. The physical aspect of the
Speaker 1: trends is exactly as it sounds, with the young adult
Speaker 1: family members taking a stroll together on Thanksgiving Day before
Speaker 1: the big meal, whether it's around the block or just
Speaker 1: to the local store. It's blah blah blah, but they do.
Speaker 1: They get high to potentially stimulate, potentially stimulate appetites for
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinners, turkey, stuffing and so on and so on.
Speaker 3: So that makes you wonder, guys, is it get stuffed
Speaker 3: and then stoned or stoned and then stuffed bing go?
Speaker 3: That's the question. Maybe both get stone, get stuffed, get stuffed,
Speaker 3: go all day long with it. And I'm Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm not gonna lie. When I was a younger man,
Speaker 1: I would when I was living here in my family, Jared,
Speaker 1: and if you're familiar with this area, but I'm from Dayton, Ohio,
Speaker 1: which is just like sixty miles north of Cincinnati, So
Speaker 1: I would go up there every year has spend the
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day with my family. But I would stop at
Speaker 1: my brother's house on the way and he and I
Speaker 1: would do the cousin walk, as it were, the brother
Speaker 1: walk to the brother Walk, and go enjoy mom's fabulous
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner. Now, apparently this is becoming a more of
Speaker 1: that work done before stuffed right there.
Speaker 3: Correct, that's right, stone before stuffed. And you know, you're
Speaker 3: being nice and not trying to smell up the house
Speaker 3: and make people be offended. But with everybody drinking weed,
Speaker 3: now that's that's not a problem. You know, Thanksgiving holiday
Speaker 3: is the start of the alcohol season. November in December
Speaker 3: the biggest months for selling booze and beer companies. You know,
Speaker 3: they've really taken a hit because of these THHC drinks
Speaker 3: so much that it's become federally illegal again. Governor d
Speaker 3: Wine got his wish. The three hundred and sixty days
Speaker 3: are left for people to sell these hYP drives, which blew.
Speaker 6: Up in Ohio a little while back.
Speaker 1: We talked about that a bunch of times. Yeah, and Jerry,
Speaker 1: I don't know because I was reading this just the
Speaker 1: other day. One of the and you brought up the alcohol,
Speaker 1: beer manufacturers and such that the that those lobbyists are
Speaker 1: the one behind this big They were a big time
Speaker 1: push to get this thing passed.
Speaker 3: You know, I got stone with some of my alien friends,
Speaker 3: the ones from up in outer space, not from down
Speaker 3: below the border, and we discussed this. You know, big alcohol.
Speaker 6: Use this as a test market.
Speaker 3: They let these drinks become legal to see how much
Speaker 3: people liked them and as soon as it started digging
Speaker 3: into the beer, they started a lobbying and say, let's
Speaker 3: shut this down, give us enough time to bring it
Speaker 3: into our realm. You know, the three tiered distribution system
Speaker 3: that's been in existence for alcohol, and virtually every state
Speaker 3: gives them a real dominance on this, and so they're
Speaker 3: trying to put down all these little small players that
Speaker 3: jumped up and found out how to make this stuff
Speaker 3: taste good. You know, when they first started this in
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, because of the farm bill, Let's face it,
Speaker 3: the THAC drinks tastes like bong water. Anybody wants to
Speaker 3: drink bong water. But now they're pretty turned good, you know,
Speaker 3: and you don't have the effects that you get from alcohol.
Speaker 3: So I see this as a play where lobbyists has
Speaker 3: helped the big alcohol take this business over before it
Speaker 3: becomes they'll make.
Speaker 6: It legal again.
Speaker 3: Once big alcohols got to take we'll talk about this
Speaker 3: time next year, and I bet you that's what happens.
Speaker 2: Well, that was going to be my question to you, Jerry,
Speaker 2: was it. Yeah, so alleged are apparently there wasn't anything
Speaker 2: against you know, I'm stowing them out there, you know. Uh,
Speaker 2: Miller cores going out and making their own CBD drink, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, or was there? If you make alcohol drinks,
Speaker 2: you're not allowed to make CBD drinks?
Speaker 1: Is that the law?
Speaker 3: If you look at companies like uh A, Constellation Brand,
Speaker 3: uh Sazaraq, these huge multi billion dollar alcohol companies, alcohol
Speaker 3: companies that home own hundreds of brands, have all bought
Speaker 3: a little bitty play in some type of hip derived
Speaker 3: not the marijuana, but the hip derived space by buying
Speaker 3: little companies. And again, I think it's just to kind
Speaker 3: of test that test that market. But maybe maybe that's
Speaker 3: a maybe it's a it's a good thing because we
Speaker 3: have a problem with so many of these products now
Speaker 3: flooding or market that we don't know where they're coming from.
Speaker 3: We don't know how they've manufactured. And while I'm a
Speaker 3: proponent for using cannabis, I'm a proponent for using common
Speaker 3: sense and be careful what you're putting in your body
Speaker 3: in today's time, because there's a flood of that's came
Speaker 3: in from south of the border that we don't really
Speaker 3: know what's in those products.
Speaker 1: And well, we're talking to Jerry Joyner, the j Man
Speaker 1: and Jerry I've always wondered this, and maybe you can
Speaker 1: help us. What is exactly about smoking weed that gives
Speaker 1: you the munchies? Is it part of the chemical makeup?
Speaker 1: Is it just the smoke in general? What exactly is it?
Speaker 1: Do you know?
Speaker 6: I don't know for a fact.
Speaker 3: I can only give my opinion as a user for
Speaker 3: fifty years. But it releases serotonin and endorphins in your brain,
Speaker 3: and those things start making you feel better and feel happy,
Speaker 3: and chet Man, when I'm happy, I want some day.
Speaker 3: That's my logic in it. But I'm sure there's some
Speaker 3: more scientific reason. However, they have a substance called THCV,
Speaker 3: which suppresses your appetite. So now they got weed that
Speaker 3: makes you not get the munchies, so like a simpic weed.
Speaker 3: You know, I grew up where all we had was
Speaker 3: Mexican dirt weed or a brownie that tasted pretty bad.
Speaker 3: And that's what that's what we grew up on. And
Speaker 3: now you've got a hundred different ways to ingust th
Speaker 3: HC into your into your system. And these drinks, guys, man,
Speaker 3: they have really really came on strong against against.
Speaker 1: Beer and in alcohol.
Speaker 3: Willie himself, he's got something called Willy's remedy. It's a
Speaker 3: social tonic. It's uh, you got about eighteen shots in
Speaker 3: that bottle, and he says it's pretty darn good.
Speaker 6: And I think he knows what he's talking about.
Speaker 2: Uh, Jamien, what's your preferred kind of regular use?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: Gummy smoking, vaping?
Speaker 3: Well, I still smoke, but I don't smoke as much
Speaker 3: as I used to because of these these drinks and
Speaker 3: the gummies. And again it depends on when how soon
Speaker 3: do you want that effect. If you want the effect
Speaker 3: of that THC as quickly as possible, you smoke it.
Speaker 3: That That's that's been proven for a lot of that
Speaker 3: helps people but have cancer and and different elements with nausea.
Speaker 3: The smoking of that really gets into your system the fastest.
Speaker 3: Then the drinks because they're water soluble, you know, So
Speaker 3: you smoke it in a few minutes, you're high.
Speaker 6: Sometimes instantly.
Speaker 3: You drink it care fifteen minutes, kind of like a beer.
Speaker 6: Then you start to fill it.
Speaker 3: A gummy or some other type available might take an
Speaker 3: hour before you had that onset. So if you want
Speaker 3: to start going to bed at nine, you eat that
Speaker 3: gummy at eight, Well you pop me asleep by nine.
Speaker 3: You know, and that's what a lot of people are
Speaker 3: doing now. They're using these products for sweep besides just
Speaker 3: for recreation.
Speaker 1: Now, let's say it's like recommending a fine wine to
Speaker 1: go with your Thanksgiving dinner. J man, can you recommend
Speaker 1: THC drink that might be perfect, that would pair perfectly
Speaker 1: with turkey and mashed potato.
Speaker 3: With turkey and mashed potatoes. Well, I'm going to defer
Speaker 3: back to that because you can get it anywhere. Just
Speaker 3: about is that Willy's Remedy. It's very taky. You can
Speaker 3: use it as a mixer or you can drink it
Speaker 3: as a shot. You know a lot of people like
Speaker 3: to do a little shot for celebratory reasons. But if
Speaker 3: you want to stretch it out a little bit, do
Speaker 3: it as a cocktail. Will is Remedy and I do
Speaker 3: not get a check from Willie, but he does not
Speaker 3: to get on the bus every now and then.
Speaker 1: Now, and that is that something you can mail order.
Speaker 1: I don't know how how that all works.
Speaker 3: You could you could literally go to willi'sremedy dot com
Speaker 3: as you could go to there's probably five hundred different
Speaker 3: varietols of THC beverages in today's time, there's that many.
Speaker 3: Let's say three quarters of these are a beer type
Speaker 3: and the rest of them are a bottle is like
Speaker 3: a spirit And the benefit people are seeing is there's
Speaker 3: no calories, are very very little calories, and you don't
Speaker 3: have the effects that you get from drinking alcohol.
Speaker 1: You've heard me from that before.
Speaker 3: I do a couple of Jim Bames or Jack Daniels,
Speaker 3: and my wife is me the stink I he shut
Speaker 3: you off. And as I've gotten older, you know, alcohol
Speaker 3: has been less desirable to me because I can get
Speaker 3: a relaxation from these THAC products.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you. You were talking about the
Speaker 1: beverage's tastes and you know in the beginning tasting like
Speaker 1: bong water and stuff. What is it like this? Well,
Speaker 1: for instance, this Willie brew, does it kind of mock
Speaker 1: the taste of whiskey or something or what exactly are
Speaker 1: we talking about here?
Speaker 5: It?
Speaker 4: It?
Speaker 3: It? It?
Speaker 6: For me, is is almost more like vodka.
Speaker 3: It doesn't really have much taste to it, so you're
Speaker 3: not drinking it as much for the for the tastes,
Speaker 3: for the the effect. But they have th HC verietuals
Speaker 3: that emulate tequila. They emulate whiskey. We tried for a
Speaker 3: while with Weaed and Whiskey to to uh to come
Speaker 3: out with one that was was was palatable. We just
Speaker 3: never could get the formula right and and we said
Speaker 3: we'll we'll let the other folks deal with that.
Speaker 1: So well, I.
Speaker 2: Just caught up Williesremedy dot com. And uh, not only that,
Speaker 2: you can get the you can get coffee beans, uh
Speaker 2: will Willie's Remedy cough coffee beans, so you can you know,
Speaker 2: grind up and brew and you can get teas Willie's
Speaker 2: Remedy t T. You know.
Speaker 3: And these are all hYP derived products that will be
Speaker 3: illegal uh in less than a year from now unless
Speaker 3: there's some change, and there's a as far as I know,
Speaker 3: fourteen different lawsuits. Some states are now pushing it back
Speaker 3: against this federal band. But I think it was just
Speaker 3: a thing for the guy from Kentucky. I won't mention
Speaker 3: any names like Mitch McConnell. He's the one that made
Speaker 3: the twenty eighteen Farm Bill legal and now he's the
Speaker 3: guy that made it illegal and he's from the state
Speaker 3: of Kentucky. Let's face it, Kentucky, the big part of
Speaker 3: their economy has been in the alcohol business.
Speaker 1: So well, Jerry, let's just say that perhaps you might
Speaker 1: have read the same stories that I've read that perhaps
Speaker 1: get in a little pocket lining did not hurt that
Speaker 1: facilitation there, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I saw some commas and zeros on some of those
Speaker 3: contributions from those big alcohol companies. Last year was eight
Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars. You know.
Speaker 6: So he's been a long time ago.
Speaker 3: This is a lot of people say this is kind
Speaker 3: of his his who wrot to the people that have
Speaker 3: supported him for such a long time. But as I
Speaker 3: said earlier, we've kind of learned that alcohol really got
Speaker 3: to take that moderation or it can have some really
Speaker 3: really uh detrimental effects on your health. And we don't
Speaker 3: see that with the THC products, not like we've seen
Speaker 3: with alcohol.
Speaker 1: All right, with that, Jerry, we'll let you go. What
Speaker 1: what are your plans for Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3: Well, We're going to the.
Speaker 6: Y old Steakhouse.
Speaker 3: My family's coming down from Oklahoma, got some other folks
Speaker 3: coming over, and I'm gonna enjoy some elk and some venison.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go to turkey rout.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: Sounds great, that's cool. How many how are we talking
Speaker 1: about there gathered around that table.
Speaker 3: Oh about a dozen of us, and of course the
Speaker 3: wild's real nice because we've got a little partner. You
Speaker 3: can go and walk outside and I guess I'll be
Speaker 3: doing the cousin walk and then a brother in law walk,
Speaker 3: and then the uncle walk and then Granny I push
Speaker 3: her in the wheels here and she leave her get
Speaker 3: me while I hit my joint.
Speaker 1: So Buddy, happy thanks. People want to find out where
Speaker 1: can they go?
Speaker 5: Buddy?
Speaker 1: What's that website again?
Speaker 3: I am j man dot com.
Speaker 1: All right, budde cheers every thanks again, Happy Thanksgiving, our
Speaker 1: good friend Jerry the jay Man Joiner, and try to
Speaker 1: imagine that family. That's gotta be a trip.
Speaker 2: As I've told you many times, when you send me
Speaker 2: the rundown of the show and the jy Man is
Speaker 2: on there, I always that is not something that It's
Speaker 2: not a world that I live in or partake in.
Speaker 2: But I thoroughly enjoy listening to and talking with the
Speaker 2: j Man.
Speaker 1: Well, he is entertaining. He definitely loves to proselytize, if
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yes, he preaches the word, brother,
