Speaker 1: W l W three eight Damn Carol.
Speaker 2: Jason Williams in for Eddie and the Rock and my
Speaker 2: partner today is dressed up like an Eskimo when he
Speaker 2: came in here.
Speaker 1: Jason Williams, how you doing.
Speaker 2: Brother, I'm good man. Fifty degrees different today than from
Speaker 2: you yesterday.
Speaker 1: I'm out there, I'm on the golf course.
Speaker 2: I've I've got you know, just like a like a
Speaker 2: regular golf shirt on seventy degrees. It was like a
Speaker 2: spring day. And then today I get up snows flying around,
Speaker 2: cars frozen shut.
Speaker 1: It was funny.
Speaker 3: And I pulled in the parking garage at the Bank's
Speaker 3: covering the Bengals game yesterday for the inquiry, Like, I
Speaker 3: walked through the garage. Then I walk outside of the
Speaker 3: garage and it was like literally like a little heat
Speaker 3: wave hit me and I'm like it is there like
Speaker 3: a fire around on a tailgate and I'm like no.
Speaker 3: It was like I was like, it's that warm and
Speaker 3: it's fantastic.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: That was That was a nice day yesterday. I did
Speaker 1: walk out today. I got home.
Speaker 3: Last night from the Bengals game to fire on my column,
Speaker 3: Like I walk up and my kids are like I'm
Speaker 3: hearing them talking and stuff that they got the windows.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: I had the windows open the house. I was watching
Speaker 2: the Bengals game, and uh, I opened one window in
Speaker 2: the front and one in the back. Had a little
Speaker 2: nice breeze flowing through the house. It was it was lovely.
Speaker 3: It was lovely. It was very delightful. I mean, we
Speaker 3: go from lovely to today's ugly. It's ugly, man, that's cold, windy,
Speaker 3: snow's blown around all the rest of question for you, Dan,
Speaker 3: go ahead real quick? Uh are you? How are you
Speaker 3: with cold weather? And I know, I know this is
Speaker 3: not a boring thing talking about the weather because I'm
Speaker 3: I've become a wimp about it. I'm now in the
Speaker 3: last few years, my parents moved down. They sold our
Speaker 3: farm out in southeast Ohio where I grew up a
Speaker 3: month before the Rona hit and twenty twenty and I'm like,
Speaker 3: when y'all move And my mom's like, your dad can't
Speaker 3: stand the cold weather? Now that's the guy who grew
Speaker 3: up here Like all that. I'm like, tough guy, blue collar,
Speaker 3: works in a power playing for thirty three years and
Speaker 3: I'm like, what, like, what you guys are?
Speaker 1: I knew.
Speaker 3: I mean this is before like before they decided. Like
Speaker 3: I was like, that's why you're moving there, And then
Speaker 3: it started to hit me, I don't know, maybe a
Speaker 3: couple of years ago, and I'm like, oh, now, like
Speaker 3: that is a real thing people really do, Like that
Speaker 3: is the number to one driver, like cause I'm like
Speaker 3: a whimp about it now.
Speaker 2: Man, I uh, I always think to myself. And usually
Speaker 2: happens late January February because that's when it's really nasty
Speaker 2: around here. Yes, and I saw said I'll be walking
Speaker 2: into a convenience store getting gas or something then out
Speaker 2: there and I'm thinking, man, Arizona sounds like a really
Speaker 2: good idea right now, you know, living there and not
Speaker 2: have to put up with.
Speaker 3: This kind of crap. Well that's why I know, are
Speaker 3: you right? And like you go out there? Speaking of Arizona,
Speaker 3: and yeah, I always try to, Like spring training, I
Speaker 3: go out for a week for the Enquirer, and I
Speaker 3: always try to go like early because I'm like the
Speaker 3: sooner I can get out there, the better because I'm tired.
Speaker 3: You're just exhausted of this, and fortunately I get to
Speaker 3: you know. It's one of the nice things about my job.
Speaker 3: But you get out there and it's like it's like
Speaker 3: it's summertime here.
Speaker 1: There. Yeah, that's it blows me away.
Speaker 2: I'm like, but when when I was in the service,
Speaker 2: I spent three years in Oakanowa, Japan, which is I
Speaker 2: think if you look at it on a longitudinal line,
Speaker 2: it's about the same longitude as as Florida, maybe a
Speaker 2: little bit north of there. And then I also lived
Speaker 2: in California for a while and sold you a thousand oaks.
Speaker 2: I was out in the high desert out you know
Speaker 2: where Victorville, California is.
Speaker 1: And it's not like Camp Pendleton area.
Speaker 2: Well, the the base I was that was called George
Speaker 2: Air Force Base, but it was it was your Air Force.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was.
Speaker 2: It was terrible. They shut that thing down and no
Speaker 2: longer exists really. But the thing is, being from Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: I started to miss the change of seasons because the
Speaker 2: seasons really don't change, and especially in that part of California,
Speaker 2: even when it was even when it was you know,
Speaker 2: even when it was in the winter time, it was
Speaker 2: still sunny and nice area. Yeah, but we're supposed to
Speaker 2: be talking to our buddy Mike Patralia and Trags, is
Speaker 2: we we got we got the.
Speaker 1: Bat signal lot for him right now, Yes, we do.
Speaker 2: So, Trags. If you're listening, call in man, Audi, we
Speaker 2: did we reach? Austin Elmore is running the big board
Speaker 2: in the seven hundred wl W command center. So, Austin Elmore,
Speaker 2: have you been able to get ahold of Trags? By
Speaker 2: the chance I have not.
Speaker 1: Texted?
Speaker 2: Well, you know, Audi. Since Austin is here, why don't
Speaker 2: we just break down the Bengals game with Austin Ellmore.
Speaker 2: I didn't know Austin was gonna I didn't know it
Speaker 2: was going to be here. Austin, are are you?
Speaker 1: Would you? Would you care to do that with us
Speaker 1: right now?
Speaker 4: I am.
Speaker 2: I am willing and able Austin Ellmore joining us now
Speaker 2: in Austin, you said something a little while ago. I
Speaker 2: was listening to you on fifteen thirty when I was
Speaker 2: driving in and you felt yesterday the same way I
Speaker 2: did about this Bengals game that happened yesterday. And I'm
Speaker 2: watching it and I'm thinking to myself, this just it.
Speaker 2: I mean, it looked like the pace of play was
Speaker 2: maybe a half a step slow. It didn't seem like
Speaker 2: the intensity was there. I mean, I know it's a
Speaker 2: regular season game. The Bengals should be trying to win
Speaker 2: every game they can, But it felt to me the
Speaker 2: atmosphere felt like a preseason game. And I'm thinking, and
Speaker 2: I heard you say that in fifteen thirty today and
Speaker 2: I was like, Man, I'm glad I'm not alone in
Speaker 2: this feeling. Austin felt the same way I did.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was just kind of strange because I think
Speaker 5: Arizona basically put a team out there of undrafted free
Speaker 5: agents and sixth and seventh round picks and guys who
Speaker 5: typically don't play, so it kind of was a preseason game.
Speaker 5: On their side of things, They've got so many guys hurt,
Speaker 5: so many guys injured, And meanwhile for the Bengals, they're
Speaker 5: kind of the opposite, like they're getting healthier, they're having
Speaker 5: this kind of resurgence offensively with all three of their gut,
Speaker 5: their big three healthy, and you just saw what it
Speaker 5: was supposed to look like for the Bengals. And I
Speaker 5: think the good part about it is, you know, in
Speaker 5: a preseason game, you're like, all right, get a couple series,
Speaker 5: get out of there, and let's stay healthy. The Bengals
Speaker 5: really just played up to their standard. They never at
Speaker 5: any point dipped down to the level of the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 5: We've seen teams do that in the past. They never
Speaker 5: did that. The Bengals just kind of kept their foot
Speaker 5: on their gas and even to the point where they
Speaker 5: started clowning them by putting Cody Ford at wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Like it was just it was a fun game.
Speaker 5: It was weird because you knew that Arizona really didn't
Speaker 5: have a chance and couldn't hang with you, Like Jamar
Speaker 5: Chase scored a touchdown on a guy who's been on
Speaker 5: the practice squad for like twelve of the seventeen weeks
Speaker 5: so far this season. So it's like it was just
Speaker 5: a weird vibe at pay Course Stadium.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought that up too, because Audio I thought,
Speaker 3: I certainly I felt like the preseason thing last week
Speaker 3: with the Dolphins who starting, you know, the seventh round
Speaker 3: pick Quinn you were was making his first start it
Speaker 3: and I think maybe even Trags mentioned that. But I
Speaker 3: was thinking the same thing about last week's game. And
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to take away from the Bengals, but
Speaker 3: it's a great point you make about the Bengals too.
Speaker 3: It's like they're they're kind of they're hitting their stride now,
Speaker 3: certainly offensively, and you know, it's still hard to tell
Speaker 3: defensively because these are, like you said, I mean, they're playing,
Speaker 3: you know, teams that are down to third string guys.
Speaker 1: But I was in the press box after the game yesterday.
Speaker 3: I was talking to one of the one of the
Speaker 3: guys who works for the Bengals and does some communication
Speaker 3: stuff for them, and he just said, you know, you
Speaker 3: look at today, You're like, it just makes you feel like,
Speaker 3: you know, what one of those games.
Speaker 1: Where you're like, what might have been? Did? Do you
Speaker 1: feel that?
Speaker 6: I didn't.
Speaker 3: I didn't really think of it that way, But I
Speaker 3: also look at things a little differently.
Speaker 1: Do you look at it that way? Audie? Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think the way that they played against the Dolphins
Speaker 5: and the way that they played yesterday makes you think, Man,
Speaker 5: if they had gotten one stop against the Chicago Bears,
Speaker 5: if they had gotten one stop against the New York Jets,
Speaker 5: it would be an entirely different season, And especially when
Speaker 5: you consider the rest of the AFC. Nobody's afraid of Baltimore,
Speaker 5: nobody's afraid of Pittsburgh. I don't think anybody's afraid of Buffalo.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure how real New England is. Kansas City's
Speaker 5: not in the picture this year. The Chargers are full
Speaker 5: of injuries, Like this would be a season where it's like, gosh,
Speaker 5: if they just had some semblance of a defense, they
Speaker 5: would be right there in the conversation as a legitimate
Speaker 5: AFC contender. And I think that's where a lot of
Speaker 5: Bengals fans stand right now, where like you're thrilled that
Speaker 5: you're seeing the best players play really well in their
Speaker 5: dominating games, and like, at the end of the day,
Speaker 5: that's what it's all about. But it's tough to swallow
Speaker 5: that it really doesn't mean anything, yeah, because of the
Speaker 5: shortcomings of earlier this season, and whether or not it
Speaker 5: doesn't matter who the opponent is, like, that's still the
Speaker 5: standard of play that you expect them to play at,
Speaker 5: and you're wondering where was this at against the Chicago Bears,
Speaker 5: against the New York Jets and other points throughout the season,
Speaker 5: And it's just it's a tough pill to swallow.
Speaker 2: I don't think I would feel any differently today than
Speaker 2: I do now had the Bengals lost that game yesterday,
Speaker 2: because of the meaningless aspect of all of it. But
Speaker 2: let me I want to read to you something that
Speaker 2: James Rapeen put out during the course of the game yesterday,
Speaker 2: and you're all going to know what play I'm talking
Speaker 2: about when I read this. Jordan Battle stops playing football,
Speaker 2: Geno Stone continues to be the NFL's worst tackling safety,
Speaker 2: and Barrett Carter lets Michael Wilson run into the end zone.
Speaker 2: Unacceptable from all all three guys. And that is a
Speaker 2: theme that has continued from day one of this team
Speaker 2: until now, and it is it is. I guess it's
Speaker 2: upsetting to me that this hasn't been addressed in the
Speaker 2: course of the season. And what do we have to
Speaker 2: go on that makes us think that this will be
Speaker 2: addressed in the course of the off season.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think there's been marginal, very minimal,
Speaker 5: slight intremental improvement to the tackling. Like it's not as
Speaker 5: atrocious as it was in the first two but there's
Speaker 5: just a little bit of it here and there where
Speaker 5: it's like, oh, yeah, that guy actually made a tackle.
Speaker 5: It hasn't really been there at all for Geno Stone,
Speaker 5: not just this year, but at any point in his
Speaker 5: Bengals career. He's one of the worst players who's ever
Speaker 5: played for this franchise, and you know it's difficult to
Speaker 5: see him do that again where you're basically just trying
Speaker 5: to knock him out of bounce. The NFL man dudes
Speaker 5: are fast and strong and they will put you on
Speaker 5: your back, and that's what happened. And Geno Stone missed
Speaker 5: on that Jordan Battle kind of gave up on the play.
Speaker 5: Barrett Carter had been shaken out of his shoes and
Speaker 5: was nowhere to be found. And you're right, like those
Speaker 5: little things that just it feels like there hasn't been
Speaker 5: enough improvement. And we talked a lot about, you know,
Speaker 5: the Bengals ownership in front office putting a lot into
Speaker 5: the final four games of the season and that determining
Speaker 5: their path in the offseason, and whether or not that's true.
Speaker 2: I think it has to work both ways.
Speaker 5: When the offense plays really good or when a player
Speaker 5: performs really well, okay, maybe that shapes your view of
Speaker 5: them in the offseason. But when players don't perform well
Speaker 5: or they don't go up to that standard, that should
Speaker 5: also have an effect. Whether it's against the Arizona Cardinals,
Speaker 5: the Miami Dolphins, or against the Baltimore Ravens and you know,
Speaker 5: the Denver Broncos and teams like that that you play
Speaker 5: earlier in the season. So I do hope that that's
Speaker 5: a two way street over these final three games of
Speaker 5: the year.
Speaker 3: You couldn't have said that any better, Oddie, because that
Speaker 3: that I mean, your spot on there. I mean that
Speaker 3: you just hope, you hope that even other blowing teams
Speaker 3: out that the bigger picture from the front office is
Speaker 3: viewed in this whole thing that plays. Like we just
Speaker 3: talked about that that the defense needs fixed. We saw
Speaker 3: last year was that year where you got you know,
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow playing like an MVP. You got Jamar Chase
Speaker 3: playing you know, triple crown and playing the way he
Speaker 3: always plays. Those guys are healthy. Obviously T was banged
Speaker 3: up last year, but then this year, for the most
Speaker 3: part of the concussions, you know, T was healthy and
Speaker 3: Burrow was hurt. Last year was the model Like if
Speaker 3: you couldn't have done that last year when those guys
Speaker 3: were all humming along, yeah, and you still miss the playoffs,
Speaker 3: that to me was the wake up call. All right,
Speaker 3: now you got another one.
Speaker 1: This year.
Speaker 3: Fix the defense. And I know you're limited in doing
Speaker 3: that because of so many resources over on the offensive side,
Speaker 3: but like my goodness, don't look at the window of
Speaker 3: just these last three or four games. Look at the
Speaker 3: big picture, please, front office, and fix the defense.
Speaker 5: I would say this. I mean, they did make significant changes.
Speaker 5: Hubbard gone Bell gone, Hilton gone Hendrickson. They decided to
Speaker 5: bring back and even though he didn't play very much
Speaker 5: this year, but they made I mean, those were dudes
Speaker 5: that played significant snaps for this defense last year and
Speaker 5: they were all gone, and they replaced him with younger guys,
Speaker 5: and they put all their chips into the basket of
Speaker 5: we're gonna get young players, We're gonna draft them, we're
Speaker 5: gonna develop them, we're gonna scapegoat lu Ana Rumo. He's
Speaker 5: going to be the reason that none of those guys
Speaker 5: worked out previously. So I admire the plan on paper,
Speaker 5: go young and cheap and develop on defense, and a
Speaker 5: lot of teams have been able to do that across
Speaker 5: the league. Philadelphia is a great example of that, but
Speaker 5: it just hasn't worked out. So I do it at
Speaker 5: least acknowledge. Okay, they tried something different. They didn't just
Speaker 5: keep running it back with the old guys. They put
Speaker 5: this influx of youth in it. But there are times
Speaker 5: that you're gonna see a young player make mistakes, and
Speaker 5: they did and it costs them. And then when you
Speaker 5: couple that with the Burrow injury, it it was lethal.
Speaker 2: All right, audit, you know we got to run. But
Speaker 2: very quickly. Do the Browns think they're good now? Because
Speaker 2: they beat Pittsburgh yesterday? The Browns have a super Bowl
Speaker 2: caliber defense. You could put the Browns defense with the
Speaker 2: Bengals offense. Yeah, let's go right there. They would win
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. The Browns are legit.
Speaker 5: Miles Garrett is going to go try to break that
Speaker 5: record against Joe Burrow on Sunday. But I think they
Speaker 5: would love nothing more than to come into Cincinnati and uh,
Speaker 5: your guy should or Sanders find a way to win.
Speaker 1: My guy, let's go Saners. This should be a little
Speaker 1: better of a game.
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, let's get one more win than worry
Speaker 2: about the draft and all that other stuff after that. Austin,

Speaker 2: the Rock. And I was sitting here looking at my
Speaker 2: broadcast partner and do you need a minute?
Speaker 1: What do you know?
Speaker 2: Look? Look how tangled up those headsets? Are they tangled?
Speaker 2: I mean that wire is it looks like a spider
Speaker 2: web hanging off the side of the ear.
Speaker 3: Not just the shovels, the shoveled mess. Yeah, it's the
Speaker 3: weather man. When I was a kid, we had we had.
Speaker 3: This was before cell phones, right, everybody had a landline, right,
Speaker 3: and so we had. We thought it was really cool.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: My folks bought one of those those really long cords
Speaker 2: you'll go between the phone on the wall and the handset, yep,
Speaker 2: So you could take it into the other room. You
Speaker 2: could sit and watch TV and the cord stretches like that,
Speaker 2: or you get you could go in the other room
Speaker 2: and I have a private conversation. Yeah, but after a
Speaker 2: certain period of time that cord gets all twisted up
Speaker 2: and and so I would always take it upon myself
Speaker 2: to hold it up and let it spin.
Speaker 8: It on.
Speaker 2: God, I couldn't stand that thing being tangled up and twisted.
Speaker 2: And that's what your headset looks like, it does, the
Speaker 2: wire coming off that head's.
Speaker 3: It's nice that you did that for your family, so
Speaker 3: that you so that you could have nice private conversations.
Speaker 2: You could go in uh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, things bother me, like like you go in the
Speaker 3: other room and hide around the corner.
Speaker 1: And hate Hey, sweetie, are we were getting together for.
Speaker 2: The movie to you know, like when people walk out
Speaker 2: of room, they leave the light on. I can't stand that.
Speaker 1: My wife's the worst. I hate Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: You know, my wife in the morning turns every light
Speaker 3: in the house on.
Speaker 2: Why why?
Speaker 3: And then she also the middle of the day. We
Speaker 3: got all these lights, a lot of exactly I turn
Speaker 3: them off all the time. You leave the room, turn
Speaker 3: it off. And you know, now you have those led balls.
Speaker 3: They used barely any electricity at all, but still that's
Speaker 3: what I said, Like, that's what you tell like, oh,
Speaker 3: these don't cost anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean my parents were kids. My parents had
Speaker 2: parents that lived during the Great Depression, So so that
Speaker 2: sort of way of thinking was you don't waste anything, right,
Speaker 2: and a lot of that was passed on to me.
Speaker 2: You know, it continued through them because that they was
Speaker 2: ingrained into them that you don't waste anything, right, and
Speaker 2: so a lot of that was passed on to me.
Speaker 2: And I think that, you know, the current generations out
Speaker 2: there don't feel as strongly about that because we live
Speaker 2: in a world of life.
Speaker 3: Don't waste food, don't waste electricity. Yep, all right, I'm
Speaker 3: glad you got your heads. Don't waste water.
Speaker 2: One of the stories we talked about last week was
Speaker 2: this young lady who was a Jets super fan. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: and her name is Ashley Costiano Gervasi, thirty three years old.
Speaker 2: She was discovered by the Jets at a tailgate to
Speaker 2: uh To and and they recruited her to be part
Speaker 2: of a contest where they would be able to kick
Speaker 2: a field goal at the halftime. This was of yesterday's game,
Speaker 2: and so she went through there. There was a lengthy process,
Speaker 2: and she went through the entire process all that there
Speaker 2: were several eliminations along the way, and so it got
Speaker 2: down to four fans who had an opportunity to kick
Speaker 2: this field goal yesterday, yes and so on the eve
Speaker 2: of this game, the Jets, and I forget who they played,
Speaker 2: it does, I think they played New England.
Speaker 1: They got crushed.
Speaker 2: The Jets told her, they said, well, since you coach
Speaker 2: a high school soccer team, we can't let you do
Speaker 2: this kick. And so you and I were sort of
Speaker 2: outraged about that and that the Jets would do something.
Speaker 1: So sort of we were very outraged. It was, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 2: It was a terrible pr move, I think, especially for
Speaker 2: that So imagine, I mean we talked about it here,
Speaker 2: but imagine what a story like that does in New
Speaker 2: York City.
Speaker 1: That's tailor made for the New York Post.
Speaker 2: So the Jets, to their credit, reconsidered and they allowed
Speaker 2: this young lady to take the field good during halftime
Speaker 2: of yesterday's game. So it turns out in order to
Speaker 2: win one hundred thousand dollars, you had to complete two kicks.
Speaker 2: One was thirty yards the other was forty yards. You
Speaker 2: make them both. You win thee hundred grand. Who I
Speaker 2: thought it was a twenty five yarder? Was it a
Speaker 2: twenty five yard? I think?
Speaker 9: Was it?
Speaker 1: Maybe I missed? I'm reading it right here.
Speaker 2: She booted her kick from thirty yards and it was
Speaker 2: right online good. It came up just short. Oh, So
Speaker 2: she didn't get the opportunity to go to the forty
Speaker 2: yard kick, and you know, she had made that, she
Speaker 2: would have done the one grand.
Speaker 1: And did anyone win it?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think so. I think they
Speaker 2: all missed. But in any case, how hard was that?
Speaker 2: And we talked about that just because you mean, look,
Speaker 2: she's been practicing, she's been nailing them on a regular
Speaker 2: basis from twenty twenty five yards doesn't mean you're gonna
Speaker 2: make it when you know, when the pressure's on.
Speaker 3: And this is a gal too for that report we
Speaker 3: saw last week. She she had the story of the
Speaker 3: New York Post had is pictures of her with her
Speaker 3: dad going and her dad.
Speaker 1: Has passed away.
Speaker 3: Jets diehard jet like when she was a little girl
Speaker 3: going to games with him. Pictures from the stadium and
Speaker 3: they said something about how they've kept his season tickets,
Speaker 3: and then they bought two more behind right behind him
Speaker 3: for dropped three grand this year on those in addition
Speaker 3: to the ones they already had. So this is a
Speaker 3: diehard fan who's hung in there with a really bad franchise.
Speaker 2: Yeah, apparently a lot of Jets fans that the New
Speaker 2: York Post went. When this story came out initially and
Speaker 2: it appeared on page six of The New York Post,
Speaker 2: a very famous part of the New York Post, the
Speaker 2: headline was kick in the gut.
Speaker 1: You gotta I mean, look, you gotta love that.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: I've always do. They got they got people on staff
Speaker 2: who are paid just right headlines. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 3: I am going to assume that they probably, you know,
Speaker 3: most of the newspaper industry don't have like copy editors anymore,
Speaker 3: that that that career has gone by the wayside, or
Speaker 3: copy desks as they call them. But I would assume
Speaker 3: the New York Post probably still has a few folks
Speaker 3: dedicated to just writing headlines. Maybe I don't know, maybe not,
Speaker 3: But like when I read their headlines, I'm like, oh, man,
Speaker 3: that that's a that's a skill in and of itself.
Speaker 3: And I try to write my own headlines sometimes I'm like,
Speaker 3: this is that's hard. It's a hard It's hard to
Speaker 3: write a good headline.
Speaker 9: Yea.
Speaker 2: I mean you got to get something that grabs people
Speaker 2: in in in five or six words, right, that's a skill.
Speaker 3: You could write the greatest story in the world, big
Speaker 3: investigation you did, you know, you spent a month or
Speaker 3: whatever on it. You talk to thirty people and got
Speaker 3: great stuff. But if the headline didn't any good and
Speaker 3: no one's going to read it.
Speaker 2: Well, it's like when Brian comes does the news here
Speaker 2: in the morning. He's got a hook for every story.
Speaker 2: Brian really good and there's there's no one that does
Speaker 2: it better than that.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 3: He's such a good Yeah, he really is. And he's
Speaker 3: been doing it for a long while. How long has
Speaker 3: he been doing it?
Speaker 2: A long time? A very long Was he here when
Speaker 2: you were on the news? He was here when I
Speaker 2: was here, he was here. He was in the newsroom
Speaker 2: working in the newsroom back when I was an intern.
Speaker 2: That was a long time ago. That was back in
Speaker 2: the late eighties. That was a long time.
Speaker 1: A long time. Ronald Reagan was still the president. Well,
Speaker 1: look at Brian comes.
Speaker 2: He still looks very youthful, does a great job, hasn't
Speaker 2: slowed down, hasn't lost uh, hasn't lost any uh any
Speaker 2: bite off his curveball, you know, and any velocity off
Speaker 2: the old fastball.
Speaker 3: And God loved him with all the all the remember
Speaker 3: in this industry to have that consistent news voice every
Speaker 3: morning on this on this station.
Speaker 1: He's fantastic. That's that's awesome.
Speaker 2: He's great. But there's a there's another and one of
Speaker 2: the other things that we talked about and by if
Speaker 2: you want to call in five one, three, seven, four,
Speaker 2: nine seven.
Speaker 3: I love talking about local uh what like we can
Speaker 3: I'll talk about it all day. I'll talk with you
Speaker 3: about it off the air. But I talked with Eddie too,
Speaker 3: because Eddie, you know, he's married to Deb. We worked
Speaker 3: for Channel nine all those years, and Eddie knows all
Speaker 3: the Channel nine local TV people and I always tell
Speaker 3: him in it, I'll ask him about some of this
Speaker 3: former like TV folks, the deb states, and and then
Speaker 3: I was like, you know, Eddie, I like, you know,
Speaker 3: I love me a good local news, local local local
Speaker 3: media story.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, I do too, Bud.
Speaker 2: I was a person about doing a you know, a
Speaker 2: call in segment and having people call in and ask
Speaker 2: about any any of the TV personalities they see, because
Speaker 2: there was a time when I knew probably ninety percent
Speaker 2: of Yeah. Uh, these days though not so much. There's
Speaker 2: been a lot of turnover in the last three or
Speaker 2: four years, and so there's a lot of reporters on five, nine, twelve,
Speaker 2: nineteen that I have never met before. But there's still
Speaker 2: you know, a good handful of you still and worked
Speaker 2: with before and know a little bit.
Speaker 1: So you still have uh, you know, just a little
Speaker 1: dirt on something.
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't I mean, in saying all that, Dan,
Speaker 3: you still have kind of those go to folks who
Speaker 3: have withstood the turnover and turmoil of local media. The
Speaker 3: Sheila Grays, the Tanyo Rourks. Yeah, we'll see I mean,
Speaker 3: those consistent voice Christian probably you know that.
Speaker 2: There are some people that come to this town and
Speaker 2: they maybe they didn't.
Speaker 1: Get Brian Hamrick. I saw he did a report Bobbers.
Speaker 2: I'll get Channel twelve. Have you ever met him in person?
Speaker 2: He's fantastic, I mean, unbelievable. She I think I did it.
Speaker 2: It is impossible not to like it. One time went Madam.
Speaker 2: One time we did the October Fest media games together.
Speaker 2: It's awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but.
Speaker 3: And I forgot what I was gonna say. We were
Speaker 3: talking about all the consistent Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: There are some people who who came to Cincinnati, like
Speaker 2: John Matdery, who's Who's on you know every Friday, Don't
Speaker 2: waste your money. I love working with him a Channel nine.
Speaker 2: Just always every time we had a conversation, we always
Speaker 2: wound up laughing about something. Just's just fantastic. And so
Speaker 2: there are some people who uh maybe not got there
Speaker 2: starting this town, but came here and decided that this
Speaker 2: is a great place to work, a great place to live,
Speaker 2: and they stay here.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: I mean there are have been a handful of others
Speaker 2: and lots of others who came to Cincinnati looking at
Speaker 2: it as nothing more than a stepping stone. And trust me,
Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of television local television news and
Speaker 2: in a lot bigger cities Chicago, I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, New York, and I would say the local
Speaker 2: broadcasters in New York have a lot more polish on
Speaker 2: their act than we do here. But the broadcaster, the
Speaker 2: reporters buy and large the news anchors and reporters television wise,
Speaker 2: that we have here. They do a great job of
Speaker 2: presenting the news in this market, a lot, a lot
Speaker 2: better than even a lot bigger markets around the country.
Speaker 1: Fortunate in that way.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 3: Now I've always thought you got pretty high standards here. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'll take care. I mean, you're you're the TV guy.
Speaker 3: I'm not a TV guy, but I can still. I
Speaker 3: remember the first time I did TV and I was like,
Speaker 3: do you remember that? Do you remember that show on
Speaker 3: ESPN to the morning show called Cold Pizza?
Speaker 1: Do you remember that? Yes? I do. Uh.
Speaker 3: They I was covering the Twins for the Saint Paul
Speaker 3: paper back in whatever two thousand and five six and
Speaker 3: some whatever. The Twins were doing really well or something
Speaker 3: or you know what it was. Uh, they talk about
Speaker 3: tearing the Metro. They were talking about going to the
Speaker 3: new Stadium, which it ultimately did. It was something along
Speaker 3: those lines. So I went, you know, I went, and
Speaker 3: I you know, shot it in some studio and it
Speaker 3: was live and uh apparently like I called like I
Speaker 3: called them, I went like right to the negative and
Speaker 3: I called the Metrodome a dump and like and that
Speaker 3: was the only feedback I got from all these people
Speaker 3: are like dude, like geez man, Like, you know, people
Speaker 3: don't want to hear that negativity. Your first thing out
Speaker 3: of the gate in the Metro was like okay, And
Speaker 3: I was so nervous, like now like if I if
Speaker 3: I do a rare TV thing or we like I
Speaker 3: used to be so nervous to talk on the radio,
Speaker 3: to talk and TV. And I remember just being like,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, like.
Speaker 2: But when you did that TV segment, you couldn't see
Speaker 2: the people you were talking to. No, yeah, so you
Speaker 2: did those I did a Fox News segment was at
Speaker 2: the first it might have been twenty sixteen, twenty eighteen,
Speaker 2: when I'm still on the political desk at the Inquirer.
Speaker 2: It's crazy, like Mike Allen told me because he saw it,
Speaker 2: like it was funny. Is I did like ten minutes,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe set maybe eight to ten minutes. They
Speaker 2: use maybe twenty thirty seconds of it, right, yeah, and
Speaker 2: then but there was no one.
Speaker 1: And it was you can't believe anything. And that was
Speaker 1: one of the.
Speaker 3: Time I walked in this massive studio was at the
Speaker 3: Public Broadcasting downtown and it's dark, but it's a really
Speaker 3: big room and I walk in there and it's it's
Speaker 3: a makeup artist.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh man, I'm a newspaper guy, like.
Speaker 3: Hey, and then like she's like sit down and she
Speaker 3: puts all this she I was like, I'm like, man,
Speaker 3: and and then she's like I was like, do I
Speaker 3: do this this? She's like, I can't. I'm here. They
Speaker 3: they hired me to do the makeup. I can't tell you,
Speaker 3: like what else you're doing or anything, how to sit
Speaker 3: or anything. Yeah, And it was me on a table
Speaker 3: make up makeup lane, and there was a camera. I
Speaker 3: didn't even and I had whatever. I had an earpiece
Speaker 3: and that's whoever was interviewing me, Bill Hammer or somebody.
Speaker 2: That's a hard way to do it, it really is.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I'll cut you some slack, not a

Speaker 2: Dan Carroll, Jason Williams in for Eddian Rocky. Fun Lines
Speaker 2: are open five point three, seven, four nine, seven and
Speaker 2: eight hundred the Big One, So Jason Williams. One of
Speaker 2: the things I get asked about a lot. We've got
Speaker 2: a guest coming up at four point thirty after the
Speaker 2: news at four thirty, and this guy is the Attorney
Speaker 2: General of the state of Alabama. His name is Steve Marshall,
Speaker 2: and he wrote a piece in the Washington Times talking
Speaker 2: about why we should all support the idea that Trump
Speaker 2: is blowing these drug boats out of the water. And
Speaker 2: that has probably been I think Jason one of the
Speaker 2: more controversial subjects that has come up in the past
Speaker 2: several months, because I can't tell you how many times
Speaker 2: I'll be out somewhere, I'll be doing something and people
Speaker 2: out of the blue will ask me about you know,
Speaker 2: why is Trump bl owned these drug boats out of
Speaker 2: the water. And Steve Marshall and then the column he
Speaker 2: wrote in The Times makes a pretty good point about Look,
Speaker 2: he's saying. The bottom line is this is that, you know,
Speaker 2: these drugs that are coming in to America, especially the fentanyl,
Speaker 2: are killing hundreds of thousands of people and this you know,
Speaker 2: those numbers have dropped off significantly since Trump has become
Speaker 2: president and put these policies in place. And he's essentially saying, look,
Speaker 2: we should all support this.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 7: So.
Speaker 2: And the one thing, and this guy is the Attorney
Speaker 2: General of Alabama. And the one thing is I see
Speaker 2: a lot of posts online people talking about how this
Speaker 2: is illegal. He doesn't have the right to do it.
Speaker 2: You know, he should get sued. All these Democrats are
Speaker 2: talking about, oh, they're just fisherman out trying to make
Speaker 2: a living, you know, all this other stuff. But this
Speaker 2: guy is saying nah, bah bah nah. And so we're
Speaker 2: gonna be able to pick his brain in about a
Speaker 2: half an hour from good.
Speaker 3: I'll look forward to that because, uh, you know, I think, uh,
Speaker 3: you know, this is we've talked about the war on
Speaker 3: drugs since Ronald Reagan and certainly you know, Ronald Reagan
Speaker 3: was the one who was really the first to raise
Speaker 3: raised this whole old deal. And yet we're still we
Speaker 3: have a lot of drugs that come across our border,
Speaker 3: you know borders, right, not not just across the southern border,
Speaker 3: but they're coming in in other ways and from other
Speaker 3: countries as well. But this is doing something about it.
Speaker 3: This to me is doing something about it, right. I
Speaker 3: mean we've talked about it. We've talked a.
Speaker 2: Lot about it.
Speaker 3: Oh you know, like say no to drugs and this
Speaker 3: is your brain on drugs. You know, remember the Friday
Speaker 3: get all that back in the eighties. And we've got
Speaker 3: lots and lots and lots of Netflix shows on on
Speaker 3: the War on drugs and you know, the cocaine trafficking,
Speaker 3: uh you know, industry and all that, but uh, it's
Speaker 3: still still coming in, still gets here.
Speaker 2: You know, he's not hiding in that policy. He's put
Speaker 2: the videos out there. Look, we blew another. I think
Speaker 2: they're like to like like twenty six or twenty eight
Speaker 2: of those boats now, So I'll be curious.
Speaker 3: That's because I wonder, you know, I know, like there's
Speaker 3: some faction of political folks are calling it illegal. But
Speaker 3: what I'm wondering is Trump designated the drug cartels? Is
Speaker 3: the terrorists organizations, right, narco terrorists. Yeah, so that that
Speaker 3: probably from a legal standpoint, has allowed for some different,
Speaker 3: you know, ways to fight the war on drugs, I
Speaker 3: would assume, And I don't know if that again, I'm
Speaker 3: not that educated on the nitty gritty details and so,
Speaker 3: but I wonder if that's this is part of that,
Speaker 3: that this allows the administration to do what he's doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, anyone who's listening right now, if you've got questions
Speaker 2: or you know, any misgivings about blowing those drug boats
Speaker 2: out of the water, we invite you to stay tuned
Speaker 2: for Steve Marshall, the Attorney General of Alabama, who's going
Speaker 2: to be here after the news at the bottom of
Speaker 2: the hour. In the meantime, let's go out to Amelia
Speaker 2: and say hey to Jim. Jim you're on seven hundred
Speaker 2: wl W and happy New year to you. Hey, Jim, Hello, Jim,
Speaker 2: Jim's taking a break, is having a union meeting. I'll
Speaker 2: put them back on hold and see if and see
Speaker 2: if Jim shows up.
Speaker 3: People do people who live in Amelia, it's it's technically
Speaker 3: no more, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they still everyone I don't live far from me,
Speaker 2: but everyone I know is still even though technically dissolved.
Speaker 2: I want to say the local government again, the village
Speaker 2: of Amelia dissolved, but everyone I know still calls an
Speaker 2: emeliate Melia.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I still hear people say Amelia. It so and so
Speaker 2: from Amelia, I mean to my way, if they can,
Speaker 2: it's it's still Amelia. Jim, Are you with us now?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I'm here.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do people out in your neck of the woods still
Speaker 1: calling Amelia?
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's not the village of Amelia Alia.
Speaker 2: It's just that's just kind of the area that area
Speaker 2: between yeah, Cherry Grove and Batavia.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're not a village anymore. We're not not a village.
Speaker 1: All right. What you got for us today, Jim?
Speaker 6: Uh, one of your guys's news that this guy got
Speaker 6: out of prison. He was in there for a long
Speaker 6: time and and then he got a car and got
Speaker 6: drunk or something.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, yeah, yeah, Elwood Jones.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I'm just thinking, didn't they have to get
Speaker 6: a driver's license when you get out of prison. I
Speaker 6: don't wanted to get into a car. I don't understand that.
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know if any of that was addressed during
Speaker 2: the court appearance today, but it seems to me that,
Speaker 2: uh that I don't know, maybe he was out on
Speaker 2: his own, you know, enough amount of time that he
Speaker 2: could secure a driver's license.
Speaker 1: I don't know that he had.
Speaker 2: There was time enough to actually purchase a car and
Speaker 2: insurance and own a car and all that stuff we're
Speaker 2: supposed to do when you own a car. So I'm
Speaker 2: guessing it was somebody else's car. Wow, maybe you're driving
Speaker 2: skills deteriorate after thirty years of being on on death.
Speaker 1: Row a driver.
Speaker 6: I would think so too. I just wanted to ask
Speaker 6: that question. Thanks, guys. I have a good new year, all.
Speaker 2: Right, Janks you no, you know no, I know a
Speaker 2: lot of people who went after that story broke on
Speaker 2: on Christmas Eve?
Speaker 3: Well you and I mean you texted me. I was
Speaker 3: sitting there watching Netflix or something that i'd look over.
Speaker 3: I got a text from you, and we had just
Speaker 3: because we You and I spent a lot of time
Speaker 3: last week addressing the whole Elwood Jones story, but not
Speaker 3: not that part of the story. And then I was like,
Speaker 3: are you kidding? And then I click over in the
Speaker 3: inquiry and there it is. I'm like, uh wow, didn't
Speaker 3: take them No, but that was a question I want
Speaker 3: to get back and then whatever. The next time we
Speaker 3: worked together, I was the first hand in.
Speaker 2: I came in.
Speaker 3: I was like, did like, right, you know who's car? Like,
Speaker 3: did you already have a car? Did you have a
Speaker 3: did you just go out and buy a car? Because
Speaker 3: he is what's he been out of jail? Just a
Speaker 3: couple of weeks?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Been a couple of weeks?
Speaker 2: I think was it the twenty second that he was
Speaker 2: not even twelfth or something? I forget, I forget what
Speaker 2: day it was.
Speaker 3: He and then like, do you how quickly can you
Speaker 3: get a driver's I don't I don't know. Did he
Speaker 3: does your driver's license stay active while you're in prison?
Speaker 3: I mean, can he keep it active?
Speaker 2: Literally? I don't know. I don't know. I don't want
Speaker 2: to go to prison to find out, No, nor do I.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe someone who's been in prison get answer that question.
Speaker 2: Pete and Lebanon, have you been in prison? Can you
Speaker 2: explain that to us?
Speaker 6: Well, I'm not going to brag about it.
Speaker 3: He's calling us from the actually calling us from the
Speaker 3: leven and fail.
Speaker 9: Now kidding, Pete, I like to live on on the
Speaker 9: side of all.
Speaker 1: There you go a little little easier that way.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, maybe they let him out and they gave
Speaker 6: him an I D.
Speaker 9: So we can go in the next election.
Speaker 1: Gotta vote, got to be able to vote.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, he's no longer a Fellon as far as I know.
Speaker 9: But that's not why I called gentlemen. Hey, I uh.
Speaker 9: In fact, I was in the Coast Guard nineteen eighty
Speaker 9: six to ninety two under Reagan and Bush. Oh I
Speaker 9: was modest. Listen, Trump has a a plan and he's
Speaker 9: following what Reagan wanted to do back then, right, And
Speaker 9: if you you can look this up that it's it's history.
Speaker 9: The United States Coast Guard back then was under the
Speaker 9: Department of Transfer Transportation, so we could we could enforce
Speaker 9: federal law on on navy ships, and we did so
Speaker 9: using the United States Coast Guard flag. So everything that
Speaker 9: Trump is doing right now. In fact, I was in
Speaker 9: Venezuela back in the day, but we were we were
Speaker 9: at odds with Columbia and we were kind of fighting
Speaker 9: the Columbian drug worlds back to you know, we're friendly
Speaker 9: friendly with Venezuela back in the day. So all the
Speaker 9: stuff now, for me watching it, it's like, Wow, Rapid
Speaker 9: couldn't pull the trigger back then, but Trump's doing it now.
Speaker 9: You couldn't arm helicopters, uh, United States Coast got helicopters.
Speaker 9: He had to use military assets. So obviously you've got
Speaker 9: the posse Cooma Totafact, which means you can't utilize the
Speaker 9: US military, can't declare war or they can't enforce federal
Speaker 9: war unless they do it under the United States Coast. Now,
Speaker 9: I don't know how to understand how they do it
Speaker 9: right now with homeland security. I believe it's it's even
Speaker 9: more stringent or it's less stringent now than it was
Speaker 9: back then in the day. But I look at this
Speaker 9: and I'm like, kudos to Trump because Rapid couldn't get
Speaker 9: it done, and he was one of our best presidents.
Speaker 9: And I wasn't a big fan of Bush forty one.
Speaker 9: But in any event, all this stuff, there was a
Speaker 9: roadmap for this stuff for Trump to do, and we
Speaker 9: just didn't do it. It took thirty five forty years to
Speaker 9: do it.
Speaker 2: That's it. Yeah, I was just looking it up. It's
Speaker 2: now now.
Speaker 3: The Coast Guard is under the Department of Homeland Security,
Speaker 3: and in a time of war. I'm reading here from
Speaker 3: an article. It says that it functions as part of
Speaker 3: the US Navy. So I don't I don't wonder if.
Speaker 1: This is.
Speaker 3: Because it's involved the Coast Guards involved in the in
Speaker 3: these narco boat shootings, right, bombings what we call it.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the Coastguard is involved. I thought
Speaker 2: I heard something blowing these and blowing they were involved
Speaker 2: in that oil tanker pursuit, right, yeah, yeah, but I
Speaker 2: think that's under different maritime rules.
Speaker 1: There is.
Speaker 2: There is a Maritime Drug Enforcement Act that was signed
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty six, a shot signed by Chuck Schumer that,
Speaker 2: among other things, makes drug trafficking on the high seas
Speaker 2: of US federal crime and provides a legal framework for
Speaker 2: the Coastguard to board and serve these vessels. Sponsored by
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer, sign signed by Chuck Schumer. But cord to,
Speaker 2: I've heard Marco ruby To talk about this many times
Speaker 2: that since these organizations coming out of Venezuela or wherever
Speaker 2: they're coming out of, uh have been designated terrorist organizations.
Speaker 2: If if if they have information that there they are
Speaker 2: headed to the United States, are bringing drugs that are
Speaker 2: going to eventually find their way to the United States,
Speaker 2: then uh, you know, under under you know, these laws,
Speaker 2: then uh, the Trump administration is totally within its rights.
Speaker 1: To there go ahead and do this.
Speaker 3: Because they're because they've been designated a terrorist organization.
Speaker 2: Right and and you know, and and like I said before,
Speaker 2: we uh We've got a guest coming up on this,
Speaker 2: Steve Marshall, the Attorney General of Alabama, And I'm sure
Speaker 2: we'll be able to ask that question of him, because look,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it gets complex when you start talking
Speaker 2: about maritime law and stuff on the high season, all
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. You know, how Trump is is
Speaker 2: able to do this, But I think I think, based
Speaker 2: on a lot of stuff that I've.
Speaker 1: Read that that he is well within his rights.
Speaker 3: That'd be interesting too, Steve Marshall, because I'm sure he's
Speaker 3: involved in in some of this because obviously part of
Speaker 3: Alabama is on the Gulf shore there, so I'm sure
Speaker 3: probably all the all the attorney generals what do you
Speaker 3: call it, the attorneys general of all those states that.
Speaker 1: Are on you're talking about multiple.
Speaker 3: Yes, I remember learning that when I was covering politics.
Speaker 3: I got it wrong one day and a reader pointed
Speaker 3: it out. It's attorneys general when you're referring to plural. Okay,
Speaker 3: thank you. That's why I you know, I never wanted
Speaker 3: to go with the written word that says oh, you
Speaker 3: and I were talking to today about you and I
Speaker 3: the other they are talking about how to spell learning.
Speaker 2: At least I know how to spell that word. It's
Speaker 2: L E A R I N G right learings. If
Speaker 2: you live you live in Minnesota. That's that's that's how it.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 2: Last week we were talking about AI too, and I
Speaker 2: saw I saw this this article that that there's there's
Speaker 2: a conundrum going on now because there are a lot
Speaker 2: of companies when it kind when it gets into the
Speaker 2: hiring process, that are using AI to help determine the
Speaker 2: employees that they should hire. Conversely, there are a lot
Speaker 2: of people who are looking for work that are using
Speaker 2: AI to assist them in their resumes and assist them
Speaker 2: in engaging in these interviews that these companies were doing.
Speaker 2: And so what what could see that what a lot
Speaker 2: of companies are coming to find out is that you
Speaker 2: don't have any real people talking to each other during
Speaker 2: the hiring process. You have the company's AI talking to
Speaker 2: the individual's AI. And so you've got you've got two
Speaker 2: different AIS interacting with each other trying to decide whether
Speaker 2: or not you know.
Speaker 1: One you know, do you want to hire?
Speaker 2: Do I want to hire Jason Williams to come work
Speaker 2: for Dan Carroll's company? And does Jason Williams want to
Speaker 2: come to work? Sounds like a Julie question.
Speaker 1: So so that's make me think about that.
Speaker 2: You've got the two AI programs deciding whether or not
Speaker 2: the person is there is the right employee to hire.
Speaker 2: And then and then the employees were relying on the AI.
Speaker 2: So you you've taken the human beings out of that,
Speaker 2: out of that process.
Speaker 3: In many and let's go back to the days and
Speaker 3: we had a phone attached.
Speaker 2: To the wall. That's what That's where we started long
Speaker 2: cour and get that cord tangled up. That's a real deal.
Speaker 3: So you could sneak around the around in another room
Speaker 3: and talk to your girlfriend.
Speaker 2: But I mean, but think about that.
Speaker 1: Hey, you're gonna you're gonna apply for that job.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got my AI working on it right now,
Speaker 2: you're talking to another AI.
Speaker 3: So are you saying that AI is a than actually
Speaker 3: just applying for the jobs for you.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you could do that. I'm sure.
Speaker 2: I Look I again, I don't know. Look you said
Speaker 2: you just have used it a little bit. I've used
Speaker 2: it very very teeny tiny.
Speaker 3: I used it to help I used it to help

Speaker 2: back on the Big one seven hundred WLW three thirty seven,
Speaker 2: Dan Carrol, Jason Williams hanging out, Freddie and Rocky and
Speaker 2: our guest Steve Marshall, the Attorney General of the State
Speaker 2: of Alabama, waiting for him to call in. And he's
Speaker 2: got the number. So if he doesn't call in, then Jason,
Speaker 2: we're not going to have a guest. But you know what,
Speaker 2: that's why we do show prep.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. We have plenty to talk about.
Speaker 2: But no, our guest wrote a wrote a piece called
Speaker 2: Trump Snarco boat strikes saving American lives, And it did
Speaker 2: really a good time to hear hear him on because
Speaker 2: we heard the news at the bottom of the hour
Speaker 2: that Trump has blown up a what did he called it?
Speaker 2: A facility and he said it's no what do he say,
Speaker 2: it's no more? Yeah, it is no more in Venezuela,
Speaker 2: and that's where I guess that's where the drug boats
Speaker 2: kind of get all their acts together and head out
Speaker 2: on the high season, and that place is no more.
Speaker 2: So it would have been a good time to run
Speaker 2: that by him and see what he thinks about that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean he's he is with sixteen others
Speaker 2: a state attorney general that are in favor of federal
Speaker 2: efforts to confront these cartel operations. So I would imagine
Speaker 2: that he would be in support of that. So if
Speaker 2: Steve Marshall calls in, then we will we will get
Speaker 2: him on the line post taste. But another thing I
Speaker 2: wanted to talk to you about, Yeah, Audi, do we
Speaker 2: have cut number one ready to go?
Speaker 1: Okay? All right, Dan cut Carol? Well, yeah, love you
Speaker 1: love your cuts.
Speaker 2: I'm reading this, this headline about James Madison University. Yes,
Speaker 2: and so they do. Of course they got they got
Speaker 2: smoked playing. I mean, do you think they probably didn't
Speaker 2: belong in the in the college football playoffs?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: Being that I'm a Marshall football fan and they're in
Speaker 3: the same conference.
Speaker 2: And so you think they should have been in.
Speaker 3: I struggle with it because I feel like there's maybe
Speaker 3: one spot for the non power conference. Basically the James
Speaker 3: Madison's of the world and the two Lanes are They're
Speaker 3: more the equivalent of the middle tier of of the
Speaker 3: Power Conference. Yea. So whoever was you know, a really
Speaker 3: kind of a middling middle tier Big Ten team. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that was about the equivalent of what Twu Lane and
Speaker 3: James Madison were this year.
Speaker 2: So I'm looking at this headline that eleven starters from
Speaker 2: James Madison have found their way to the transfer portal
Speaker 2: sad and they are out, And I mean, and that
Speaker 2: really is is changing the landscape of college football. And
Speaker 2: I came across this earlier today and it is coach
Speaker 2: cal formerly of Kentucky now with Arkansas. I've seen this, yeah,
Speaker 2: and he is he is talking about the transfer portal
Speaker 2: And he was in front of an audience a day
Speaker 2: or so ago, and I guess he was doing a
Speaker 2: Q and A like a rotary club.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he was asked about the trans and I think, uh,
Speaker 2: coach cow has a really good take on the transfer
Speaker 2: portal here. So I wanted to play that. And so Audi,
Speaker 2: if you would please, could we hear cut number one?
Speaker 8: Oh, I say to you, who if a kid transfers
Speaker 8: four times, is he gonna graduate from that school? It's
Speaker 8: no way you can't graduate. So now you're gonna be
Speaker 8: done playing without a college degree. You have no ties
Speaker 8: to the last school you went to where they feel
Speaker 8: that you're from Arkansas. You played here, we're here. You're
Speaker 8: gonna have opportunity. That's done. You're offered fifty five thousand
Speaker 8: dollars in your first job and you go, what fifty
Speaker 8: five thousand do I have to show up? Are they
Speaker 8: gonna you got you got me an apartment?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Or a car?
Speaker 8: I mean they I'm worried about mental health. Mental health.
Speaker 8: That Look, I've been poor, and you know it's worse
Speaker 8: than being poor, coming across some money and then being
Speaker 8: pour again.
Speaker 1: That's the worst.
Speaker 8: That's probably why I am cheap because I'm not going
Speaker 8: back there. But so my thing is, and I've been
Speaker 8: pushing this. You can transfer once without penalty because you
Speaker 8: picked the wrong school, the coach lied to you. There
Speaker 8: was another player that came that you didn't know about
Speaker 8: one time, and after that you got to sit because
Speaker 8: what do you think they're transferring for?
Speaker 1: Somebody helped me here.
Speaker 8: Why they say it, that's it. It isn't because they're
Speaker 8: mad at this or that I can extort you and
Speaker 8: if you don't give it to me, I'm going over here.
Speaker 8: If we cure that, I've been seeing it for five years,
Speaker 8: no one listens to me. My dog I called me,
Speaker 8: runs the other way. My wife doesn't listen to me.
Speaker 8: No one listens. If we cure the transfer rule, seventy
Speaker 8: percent of our problems go away. We can deal with
Speaker 8: all the other stuff.
Speaker 2: What John Caliperry is saying there, yeah, he is really
Speaker 2: saying that this thing is out of control. These kids
Speaker 2: transfer in and when you talk about in the long run,
Speaker 2: does it really serve these student athletes, Well, he's saying no,
Speaker 2: because it's it's not a real world situation where you've
Speaker 2: got a good college football player who is going to
Speaker 2: get paid all I don't know, let's say four million
Speaker 2: dollars and then when that is over, what happens when
Speaker 2: that's over? And that the chances that, you know, an
Speaker 2: average college football player making that kind of money in
Speaker 2: the NFL is very likely to not happen. And then
Speaker 2: he says, what, you go, you get a job. Maybe
Speaker 2: you if you've switched all these schools, do you have
Speaker 2: enough credit to graduate from one of those schools?
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows? I mean, how does that work?
Speaker 2: It sounds to me the way he's talking that they
Speaker 2: don't have all that figured out yet. And so you
Speaker 2: go out to take a job. What you're gonna pay
Speaker 2: me fifty five grand a year? And I was pulling
Speaker 2: down four million.
Speaker 3: You know, I got to show up four hours a
Speaker 3: week on my six year and clock every day at my.
Speaker 2: You know, Monday through Friday.
Speaker 1: What.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I think Cal's got a pretty good handle
Speaker 2: on it.
Speaker 1: Well, he's got a great point.
Speaker 3: And more and more Kacher speaking out I've seen just
Speaker 3: in today, I saw a clip from UH Gonzaga's coach
Speaker 3: Mark Fugh. Yesterday I saw Tom Izzo. Because now the
Speaker 3: the whole transfer portal and the no rules of the
Speaker 3: NCAA is like they're now allowing guys that have been
Speaker 3: drafted in the NBA to now come back and play,
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, mid season Baylor picks up a
Speaker 3: guy who was an NBA draft pick a couple of
Speaker 3: years ago, and it's like, uh, you know, Mark fu
Speaker 3: said something on Mark Fie, the Gonzaga coach, said something
Speaker 3: along the lines of, you know it, really Congress probably
Speaker 3: needs to step in, but they're just as messed up
Speaker 3: as as the NCAA or just as big of a
Speaker 3: mess as the NCAA A.
Speaker 1: Everything.
Speaker 3: When you think about the basic values of life, right
Speaker 3: Judeo Christian values that are that is so I don't know,
Speaker 3: critical to our basic life that we're we're all taught
Speaker 3: and like none it's all topsy turvy in college athletics.
Speaker 3: When you think about like, I can't imagine these coaches.
Speaker 3: And then there's people say, oh, the coaches make it.
Speaker 3: They oh they can go whenever they want and break contracts.
Speaker 3: You're still a coach. You're still trying to lead young
Speaker 3: men or young women. You're still trying to teach them.
Speaker 3: You're you're trying to make an impact in their lives
Speaker 3: because they are eighteen, nineteen, twenty year old, you know,
Speaker 3: young adults, and so you're trying to teach them things like,
Speaker 3: you know, team works still, and loyalty to the you know,
Speaker 3: to the team and your role to the team, and
Speaker 3: overcoming adversity. You know, Nick Saban always talked about, you know,
Speaker 3: the overcoming adversity and the fact that it's like you're
Speaker 3: not going to grow unless you fight through the adversity.
Speaker 3: But here this system is set up to where I
Speaker 3: don't have to really fight through adversity. I can just
Speaker 3: you know, it got too hard for me there, I'll
Speaker 3: just jump in the transfer portal and see if it'll
Speaker 3: be easier and more money over here. Now, I know
Speaker 3: that's an oversimplification, but on the grander scheme of things,
Speaker 3: that's generally what's going on right now. Oh you know what,
Speaker 3: I actually really liked it here. I liked my coach,
Speaker 3: I like my teammates. We were growing. But you know what,
Speaker 3: I can go make more money over there, and it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The concept of that is you know, generally, like I
Speaker 3: think we all would agree in our careers, you know,
Speaker 3: most of the time we leave a job or I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 1: At least this is my own experience.
Speaker 3: Anytime I've ever left the job, it wasn't because I
Speaker 3: didn't like the job I was in.
Speaker 1: Was because there was a.
Speaker 3: More money or you know, better hours, or there was
Speaker 3: something better about typically from a monetary standpoint, at that
Speaker 3: other job. It wasn't because I was unhappy, and so
Speaker 3: that concept is in place. But that's that's not what's
Speaker 3: going on here, Dan. For the most part, it's that
Speaker 3: whoever you know cal talked about it there, whoever you know,
Speaker 3: they're basically an extorting peele. You know, I mean, I
Speaker 3: talk to someone at U SEE or somebody you know,
Speaker 3: someone that told UC told me about you know, guys
Speaker 3: will walk into the head coach's office and say, you know,
Speaker 3: State University X is offering me this, What are you
Speaker 3: going to do?
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, it's it's hard.
Speaker 3: It's hard to get your arms around it, because yes,
Speaker 3: when you really drill down into it and you're like, well,
Speaker 3: is that any different than you are in your career,
Speaker 3: whatever career path you're in, because you know, sometimes people
Speaker 3: get a job offer from somewhere else and then they're like,
Speaker 3: you know, I really like it here, I'm going to
Speaker 3: go into my boss and say, hey, you know, can
Speaker 3: he match this or is she match this? I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: you know, but they're they're just no rules. And even
Speaker 3: when you look at the NFL, there's the free agency
Speaker 3: rules and the salary structures and the salary cap and
Speaker 3: but you know, you throw all that into this whole
Speaker 3: college thing, then it's going to require a lot of
Speaker 3: legal stuff, a lot of you know, unionization and you know,
Speaker 3: collective bargaining. And so that's that's part of why this
Speaker 3: is all such a mess because colleges, on one hand,
Speaker 3: are like, yeah, like you have coaches and you have
Speaker 3: athletic administrators, say yeah, we really need but on the
Speaker 3: other hand, like, well, to really get a hold of this,
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to have collective bargaining and unionization. Don't
Speaker 3: really want that, you know, like, because that makes things difficult.
Speaker 2: It changes what the whole idea I think of amateur
Speaker 2: athletics is and then in college athletics and all the
Speaker 2: rest of it. I was flipping around ESPN. I was
Speaker 2: turned on ESPN. I thought it was a day or
Speaker 2: so ago and Jeremy Schapp on E sixty had a
Speaker 2: great piece, i mean really in depth piece talking about
Speaker 2: NIL and the transfer portal, and actually spoke to the
Speaker 2: woman who works for the NCAA who created the transfer portal.
Speaker 2: And you know, this goes back I think to the
Speaker 2: right right around the time, you know, when the Wuhan
Speaker 2: was going on, and for various reasons, you know, the
Speaker 2: kids wanted to get out of the situation they were in, right,
Speaker 2: and so it went from i mean, in the span
Speaker 2: of just two or three years, it went from something
Speaker 2: that was very tightly controlled to something that had no
Speaker 2: rules at all. And now you've got kids, you know,
Speaker 2: it's like a turnstile going in and out of the
Speaker 2: transfer portal and then they're doing it just be one
Speaker 2: school is going to offer more money than the next.
Speaker 3: Well, the other problem, exactly, the other problem here is
Speaker 3: that the NCAA is just weak. It's it has terrible leadership,
Speaker 3: it's feckless, and there's no backbone.
Speaker 2: Or they talked to the guy who was the head
Speaker 2: of the NCAA and he was like, yeah, He's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're you know, we're wide open, we're crazy. He says, like,
Speaker 2: I think we've got a pretty good handle on it now.
Speaker 2: But the problem is they're afraid to get ensued. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and that's the problem, and that's why we have all
Speaker 2: these things to begin with.
Speaker 3: Is every time there's a new rule try to put in,
Speaker 3: someone sues.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: The whole reason why we have NIL is someone sued
Speaker 3: ed oband ensued because hey, you know U C. L. A.
Speaker 3: Was making money off putting his you know, based on
Speaker 3: you know, posters to promote the season and TV commercials
Speaker 3: and all that, and he wasn't see in a dime.
Speaker 3: Well that that was a long, long, long court price.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they talked about NIL, and they were talking about
Speaker 2: what NIL was when it initially what it was meant
Speaker 2: to be was an opportunity for an athlete to be
Speaker 2: able to capitalize on that athlete's name, image and likeness.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: So, if that athlete could go out and find, you know,
Speaker 2: a local car dealership that said, hey, I want you
Speaker 2: to advertise my cars. You know, we'll let you drive
Speaker 2: a car for a couple of years, or you know,
Speaker 2: we'll cut you a check for ten grand or something
Speaker 2: like that, if an athlete it has the ability to do.
Speaker 2: I mean that part of NIL is still there, yep.
Speaker 2: But what it morphed into and it did very quickly.
Speaker 2: Was the schools just flat out paying these kids to
Speaker 2: come and play, and and and so that it got
Speaker 2: crazy out of control like that. And one of our
Speaker 2: guests that we've got coming up on Wednesday is Grant
Speaker 2: House who went to Saint Zaba or not, but to St.
Speaker 2: X High School. And Grant House is the one. You know,
Speaker 2: it's called the House Settlement because him and some other
Speaker 2: college athletes he went to Arizona State University out of St.
Speaker 2: X High School and he is the one that brought
Speaker 2: the lawsuit that said, hey, uh, you know, I'm a
Speaker 2: I'm a swimmer here at Arizona State University. And I
Speaker 2: know at the time he was doing a podcast with
Speaker 2: his brother, and so just by virtue of doing that podcast,
Speaker 2: he was looking at the likelihood he was running a
Speaker 2: foul of some of the NCAA rules and regulations because
Speaker 2: of that podcast got a sponsor and made some money
Speaker 2: in any sort of way, Well, then he was going
Speaker 2: to be in violation of these rules. And he said, look,
Speaker 2: I I'm doing all this on my own. It's it's
Speaker 2: it's my own thing. I I should be able to
Speaker 2: to generate an income on my own. He was getting
Speaker 2: a full ride to begin with, but sure, but he
Speaker 2: still had all those rules and regulations that applied. And so,
Speaker 2: you know, I asked him, I had him on I
Speaker 2: don't know, a year and a half, many two years ago,
Speaker 2: and I asked him if NIL at that time was
Speaker 2: what he envisioned it to be. And he really wasn't
Speaker 2: in a position because all the lawsuit was still going
Speaker 2: on to really answer that. And I think he'll have
Speaker 2: he may have, you know, maybe some more meaningful insight
Speaker 2: into that, and we get a chance to talk to
Speaker 2: him on Winnsday.
Speaker 1: Well, actually, you know, I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 3: When you text me the other day, I'm like, this
Speaker 3: is huge, this is this is exciting because he was
Speaker 3: very much a part of all the things that are
Speaker 3: happening right now. Although I feel like the House settlement
Speaker 3: was a good thing, ultimately the House settlement is what
Speaker 3: has led now to basically there being a cap on
Speaker 3: the amount of money the universe. It's brought the money
Speaker 3: in house, no, no pun intended. And so now every
Speaker 3: Division one school can give every year up to twenty
Speaker 3: point five million dollars to their athletes. Now that's for
Speaker 3: all sports. You see, the UC athletic director told me,
Speaker 3: what there are four sports that are getting nil money
Speaker 3: from the school. I believe it was certainly football, men's basketball,
Speaker 3: women's basketball, and baseball.
Speaker 1: I believe it was.
Speaker 3: I believe it was four, might have been five when
Speaker 3: I talked to John Cunningham a couple months ago. So
Speaker 3: that that brought the house set on one is bringing
Speaker 3: some has brought some structure to it. But the problem
Speaker 3: is is now there's still it's not just that that's
Speaker 3: what I think what a lot of administrators saying, all right,
Speaker 3: that's the cap, that's it. Well, yeah, in theory, that
Speaker 3: is the cap from inside, but then it's still there's
Speaker 3: still all this outside money that then oh, well, you know,
Speaker 3: and I don't not picking on car dealership saying like,
Speaker 3: you know, there's the there's a group of folks over here,
Speaker 3: and so that's what's happening at Texas Tech. They have
Speaker 3: a billionaire oil tycoon is now based and it's like,
Speaker 3: so there's all these things that god.
Speaker 9: Tech.
Speaker 3: And then the other the other part of this was
Speaker 3: that schools were allowed to you know, bank, they were
Speaker 3: allowed to bank as much money as they could up
Speaker 3: until the house settlements, you know kicked in. Well, no
Speaker 3: one knows how much some well, I mean it's become
Speaker 3: pretty obvious and who who's good on the field, and
Speaker 3: you know there are things that leak out. But that's
Speaker 3: the whole other piece of there's no there's no public
Speaker 3: record piece of this stuff either. All right, you're on
Speaker 3: a roll, but we were little trafficking weather together. On

Speaker 1: May twenty twelve.
Speaker 2: I came came there May at twenty Are you are
Speaker 2: you good at remembering dates and years and stuff.
Speaker 1: Like that, uh not. I'm not terrible at it, but
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 2: I mean, you just fired off that in May of
Speaker 2: twenty twelve, like it was right there on the top
Speaker 2: of your at Well, it was a big deal, man,
Speaker 2: I had.
Speaker 1: I was out of the business for five years.
Speaker 2: Really, what did you do when you're out of the business.
Speaker 3: I did communications pr for a City Gospel mission about
Speaker 3: that homeless shelter yep. But I left the business in
Speaker 3: the newspaper business in twenty In two thousand and seven,
Speaker 3: I was working in Saint Paul, Minnesota at the time,
Speaker 3: and our paper went through three owners in six months.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: And that was when things were really started to go
Speaker 3: bad for the newspaper industry. And I'm like, yeah, I
Speaker 3: was single, no kids, no no house, no nothing really
Speaker 3: at the time, and I'm like, I had better try
Speaker 3: to do something different or if I don't know how
Speaker 3: much of a life and it will provide for a
Speaker 3: wife and kids someday. So I didn't really like living
Speaker 3: in Minnesota, and I moved back here and convinced City
Speaker 3: Gospel to put a proposal together and convince them to
Speaker 3: hire me as their first communications person. I did that
Speaker 3: for five years, but I'll tell you what, Dan, I
Speaker 3: missed every single I'm not kidding you, every single day
Speaker 3: I missed. I missed newspapers. I missed the rush of
Speaker 3: being a reporter. I was a beat reporter for the
Speaker 3: first whatever ten years in my career, and it was
Speaker 3: even ten years, seven or eight years, and but then
Speaker 3: I developed some relationships to the Inquirer and my buddy
Speaker 3: Josh Pickler, he was the business otter at the time,
Speaker 3: and I, you know, he met with him and he uh,
Speaker 3: he had an opening and I originally I came back.
Speaker 3: I had been a sports reporter, and I came back
Speaker 3: in the business as a I was hired as a
Speaker 3: business reporter covering jobs and transportation. But it was a
Speaker 3: hot job at that time because the street car was
Speaker 3: really hot. That was CDG, like all the CVG Delta
Speaker 3: going away and low cost carriers and like that.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of action there.
Speaker 3: The Prince spent the Bridge was every man, yeah, and
Speaker 3: I wrote a ton about it, and people just could
Speaker 3: not get enough of it, Like it didn't matter what
Speaker 3: we wrote about it. People could not get enough like
Speaker 3: content on it. Brent Spence Bridge was another and at
Speaker 3: that time that they were there was a big movement
Speaker 3: to like talk about tolling that bridge, so that was
Speaker 3: a hot story and uh there was I remember, yeah,
Speaker 3: I remember that was when I first kind of learned
Speaker 3: about the tea party because there was a big tea
Speaker 3: party movement in northern Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Uh, one of which was.
Speaker 3: Our our our overnight trucking guy, Kevin Gordon. He was
Speaker 3: he was a big part of the anti toll He
Speaker 3: was really big in I remember meeting with him, and
Speaker 3: that was a big story. He was that was a
Speaker 3: huge story, uh in the business community and was involved
Speaker 3: and I met a lot of people in that so
Speaker 3: it was uh it was great experience because all I'd
Speaker 3: ever done before was sports, and uh, I had always
Speaker 3: wanted to make the move to news and didn't really
Speaker 3: know how to do it or didn't know about the
Speaker 3: opportunity and got the opportunity. And then what I loved
Speaker 3: about that job was there was so much politics involved
Speaker 3: in everything. And I always love local politics, like I
Speaker 3: remember when I you know, I even just even growing
Speaker 3: up like local politics for where I grew up, like,
Speaker 3: I was always interested in it. My my uncle was
Speaker 3: a county commissioner. I mean, I wasn't like into like
Speaker 3: I never went to his office or but I but
Speaker 3: there's nothing. There was just intrigue of the politics of uh,
Speaker 3: you know, local politics. And then I came here and
Speaker 3: like when I came to UC, I remember this, like,
Speaker 3: and people even they'll tell you this day, Like you'll
Speaker 3: talk to people in Columbus or Cleveland and they'll be
Speaker 3: they were always like when I was on the political desk,
Speaker 3: people are always like you all down there in Cincinnati,
Speaker 3: you love your local politics. Like that's not the way
Speaker 3: it is here in Cleveland or Columbus. Obviously Columbus is
Speaker 3: more interested when it comes to politics and what's going
Speaker 3: on on Capitol Square. But Cincinnati was always about what's
Speaker 3: going on at City Hall, even if he didn't live
Speaker 3: in the city, even if he didn't work in the city.
Speaker 3: You're always interested in, you know, what's Charlie Lucan doing,
Speaker 3: or what what's John Cranley doing, What's Mark Mallory, Like,
Speaker 3: what is going on there? What's the fight, what's the
Speaker 3: latest fight, you know, what's the big development, what's the
Speaker 3: big project. It feels like we don't we don't have
Speaker 3: a lot of that intrigue anymore. Generally from the region
Speaker 3: like we used to. And I don't know is that
Speaker 3: is that I don't know what the reasoning. I don't
Speaker 3: know the pinpoint and reason for that, other than I
Speaker 3: think we I guess the biggest reason probably is that
Speaker 3: it used to be all politics. You know that line,
Speaker 3: All politics are local politics. Well that's been turned upside down.
Speaker 3: All politics are national now, and so I would assume
Speaker 3: that's probably the big reason why there's not as much,
Speaker 3: you know, interest in what's going on down at city Hall.
Speaker 1: Is what there once was in Greater Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: Well, there used to be a time when what happened
Speaker 2: on a daily basis in DC didn't affect your daily
Speaker 2: average life. You know, it did, really it didn't have
Speaker 2: much of an effect at all. But does it now?
Speaker 2: I think it does now. I mean I was looking
Speaker 2: at this story. You know, Scott Passent says that Americans
Speaker 2: are going to see a gigantic refund coming up this
Speaker 2: this tax filing season. So you know, the first I
Speaker 2: don't know, the first twenty or thirty or forty years
Speaker 2: I was following my taxes, it seemed that whatever happened
Speaker 2: in DC really didn't affect my income taxes. That much.
Speaker 2: It didn't affect the prices at the grocery store, didn't
Speaker 2: affect the prices at the gasoline pump, didn't effect That's
Speaker 2: a great point daily comings and goings. But now it
Speaker 2: seems like, you know, whatever we see we sit here
Speaker 2: and we got Fox News on TV over there, and
Speaker 2: sometimes we see him voting on stuff there on the
Speaker 2: floor the House or the floor of the Senate and
Speaker 2: and that stuff. It's amazing how fast that stuff gets
Speaker 2: from d C into your daily life now. And I
Speaker 2: don't think, I don't think the government that we have
Speaker 2: was really set up to to operate in that sort
Speaker 2: of way. You know, my buddy Andrew Pappus likes to
Speaker 2: talk about local politics all the time, and yeah, and
Speaker 2: how you need you really it's it's worth your while
Speaker 2: to pay attention to it because those that you elect
Speaker 2: locally are going to have more of a direct impact
Speaker 2: on your life than what happens in d C. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think there's a there's a huge grain of tree
Speaker 2: to that I have.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I have to I have to put
Speaker 3: a cave out that I agree with him on that.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 2: Papas was the Tea Party guy back in the day.
Speaker 2: I know he was you know that, don't you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: But but I was gonna ask us about newspapers. Yes,
Speaker 2: do newspapers get hate mail from environmentalists because of all
Speaker 2: the trees that, uh, that you cut down and make
Speaker 2: newspaper with.
Speaker 8: That.
Speaker 3: I've never heard of it, but that'd be interesting to
Speaker 3: like know, like was that because because really from the
Speaker 3: print newspapers, I've always heard this, and this is when
Speaker 3: I broke in the business in ninety eight, like that,
Speaker 3: I heard the nineteen nineties were the heyday of the
Speaker 3: print newspaper like that, the you know, the folks that
Speaker 3: were running newspapers and circulation was just you know, things were,
Speaker 3: business was good. So I wonder if, like back then,
Speaker 3: if that ever happened or even to this day, you know,
Speaker 3: we still uh you know, one of the one of
Speaker 3: we we always talk about it being one of our
Speaker 3: platforms as the way you can consume the product is
Speaker 3: through print. So I don't know if it's still aways
Speaker 3: still print tens of thousands of newspapers. I don't know
Speaker 3: if it's it's something that uh, you know, my boss
Speaker 3: broke Burl Love at the inquiry. I don't know if
Speaker 3: he gets calls here and there if people I don't know,
Speaker 3: I've never I've never heard that. In goodness, gracious what.
Speaker 3: It's kind of crazy. I think I'm going on like
Speaker 3: thirty years in my career.
Speaker 2: I haven't.
Speaker 3: I wasn't the newspapers the whole time. But it do
Speaker 3: you remember that? Was it when you were growing up?
Speaker 3: Do you remember the day when I was like, you know,
Speaker 3: generally your career was thirty years? Absolutely like that. That's
Speaker 3: not really a thing anymore, right, I don't think so well,
Speaker 3: it's not in this business. I think, well, you know,
Speaker 3: I've got a number of friends who are nearing the
Speaker 3: end of their careers. They're in law enforcement. I got
Speaker 3: a buddy of mine who actually retired from the Hamilton
Speaker 3: County Sheriff's Office a couple of summers ago, but he
Speaker 3: is still going to work every day because you know,
Speaker 3: they've got the program there where you can collect your
Speaker 3: retirement and you can still earn a paycheck, a regular paycheck.
Speaker 3: I'm going to you, but you're but you're I guess
Speaker 3: it's a double dipper. You know you're technically retired, but
Speaker 3: you still.
Speaker 1: Go to work.
Speaker 2: I mean, the you know they need, you know, they
Speaker 2: need people and then and then you do that for
Speaker 2: a period of time, and I guess it all adds
Speaker 2: into your retirement.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 2: I got a buddy, a couple buddies of mine who
Speaker 2: were five fighters, and they carry around a uh, they
Speaker 2: carry on their They've got an app on their cell
Speaker 2: phone that is a countdown clock to when they retire.
Speaker 1: You know, hey, really, but I retire.
Speaker 2: And you know two years, you know, six months and
Speaker 2: then in twenty one days and you know, thirty nine seconds.
Speaker 3: I mean, but but I mean, well in those types
Speaker 3: of jobs. There's civil service jobs like firefighter, police. My
Speaker 3: brother is a police officer in Columbus, like you know,
Speaker 3: But it's the system is set up that way that
Speaker 3: you can retire. What is the police officers not even
Speaker 3: thirty right, it's isn't it?
Speaker 1: I want lot a lot.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of guys who retired after twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five years things like that. But I think they
Speaker 2: they really want you to though, right, say. It's a
Speaker 2: lot different than private sector. Yes, and especially you know
Speaker 2: Cunningham talks about it all the time. He's been doing
Speaker 2: radio now for forty dude.
Speaker 3: I got a nine year old kid, fifty Yeah, I
Speaker 3: got a nine year old kid running around.
Speaker 2: But Cunningham talks about he was talking about it the
Speaker 2: other the other night, that he's you know, he's well
Speaker 2: into his seventies now, and you know he's looking at
Speaker 2: doing at least another two years, possibly three.
Speaker 3: I would now, I would never think, like if you
Speaker 3: just you know, you see Willy in here sometimes, you know,
Speaker 3: and cross paths and a switch of shows or whatever,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't. I just will he's seventy seven, I believe, like,
Speaker 3: I would never think that he's seventies. He's the same
Speaker 3: age as my mom, Like I don't think of my mom.
Speaker 2: Is is that? Like to me?
Speaker 3: My mom still looks the same, acts the same as
Speaker 3: she did when I was five years old, like to me,
Speaker 3: to me, yeah, I mean she's still erotic and like
Speaker 3: we just won't shut up, kind of like Lily and
Speaker 3: they're like goody in a good way. Absolutely just talk
Speaker 3: your ear off man.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But he Bill Cunningham is one of a kindly,
Speaker 2: there's no question about it.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing and this is what hopeful and I
Speaker 3: know I know longtime listeners realize this. But what's interesting
Speaker 3: about Willy is you could throw anything at him, and
Speaker 3: he can talk from hour about it, like you'd be like,
Speaker 3: here's the subject, and like any subject, just boom and
Speaker 3: then next thing, you know, like he's talked an hour
Speaker 3: about it because he's so well read, and so he
Speaker 3: watches tons of different clips and news shows.
Speaker 2: He reads everything.
Speaker 3: He reads all the local stuff, He follows all the
Speaker 3: local nothing forget. He reads the inquiry, he reads all
Speaker 3: the local TV sites, he watches all the local TV sites,
Speaker 3: he watches all the national cable channels, he reads the
Speaker 3: national newspapers like and and then that's why I like, right,
Speaker 3: I mean, then next thing, you know, and then he's
Speaker 3: got the historical perspective on all these things too, like
Speaker 3: and as we call it in the business institutional knowledge.
Speaker 2: But that was you know when when when he was
Speaker 2: in school, you read a textbook and then you've got it,
Speaker 2: You've got we got some people are blessed with that ability.
Speaker 1: Were talking about local policy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what's interesting about like the the the
Speaker 3: intrigue of local politics now is at the school board
Speaker 3: level and all these you know, you see typically in
Speaker 3: the suburban school board level. You're seeing it like that's
Speaker 3: where the fight is at the in so many school
Speaker 3: local school board elections or issues that are going on.
Speaker 3: You guys have seen it out in Andrews. I think
Speaker 3: you're forest Yeah, Forest Hills, that comes to mind. I
Speaker 3: think west Chester is another one that whatever their school
Speaker 3: is a Lakota Lakota school district. You know, there's there's
Speaker 3: a there's been big fights over elections and issues and uh,
Speaker 3: you know some of the culture war things that have
Speaker 3: you know, really like to me, that's a lot of
Speaker 3: where you're seeing the political local political intrigue these days
Speaker 3: is at that school board level.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, you know what I want to say
Speaker 2: it was, you know, two or three election cycles ago,
Speaker 2: we've got a number of uh Conservatives who were elected
Speaker 2: to the Forest Hill school Board. And so they came
Speaker 2: on and uh, they they did what they said they
Speaker 2: were going to do. They were going to get rid
Speaker 2: of the you know, the the DEI programs, and they
Speaker 2: were going to get rid of some of the other
Speaker 2: stuff that was going on. And they did. And as
Speaker 2: soon as they did that, well they you know, there
Speaker 2: was that was unacceptable that was you know, the local
Speaker 2: paper and the local some of the local news would
Speaker 2: put these you know, talk about you know some of
Speaker 2: these things and oh, you're hurting this student, hurting that
Speaker 2: students and all this kind of stuff, and they are
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure was brought to bear on some
Speaker 2: of these individuals, and so they wound up stepping down.
Speaker 2: They quit, they couldn't handle the heat. So so now if.
Speaker 1: You said that like that, I respect. I respect. If
Speaker 1: you campaign on something, then you win, and then you
Speaker 1: go in there.
Speaker 2: And do it.
Speaker 1: Whether I agree with it or not, I respect that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is what you said you were going to do,
Speaker 3: and it was straight up about it, and you went
Speaker 3: in there and did it, and I out of that
Speaker 3: covering politics and then just my own personal view on politics.
Speaker 1: I've always respected that. You know, whether I've agreed with.
Speaker 3: You on those few issues that you've tackled or not,
Speaker 3: I I respect that because you said that, and then
Speaker 3: I had a choice to vote for you or not.
Speaker 3: But you said you're going to do that, So I
Speaker 3: can't sit here and.
Speaker 1: And they do it.
Speaker 2: They say they're called hateful and they're called bigot, and
Speaker 2: they're called racist and all this other stuff. So if
Speaker 2: you did it, you did a.
Speaker 3: You know what it was. It called it's the turn.
Speaker 3: Like you said one thing and then you turn around
Speaker 3: and did another thing. Well that's a whole other story.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, well we'll have another story on the
Speaker 2: other side of the track together.

Speaker 2: that's all from me.
Speaker 3: In other news, Dan, did you hear about the shark
Speaker 3: attack out in California a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So there was a triathlete. Lady was killed in
Speaker 3: a shark attack a couple of weeks ago off the
Speaker 3: coast of California. Her body has been recovered. This was
Speaker 3: just last week and then her body was just recovered
Speaker 3: yesterday when the an a shark A shark, I don't
Speaker 3: know if it was the shark, but a shark surfaced
Speaker 3: with her body in Her corpse was found. Erica Fox's
Speaker 3: corpse was found Saturday afternoons, still clad in her black wetsuit,
Speaker 3: south of Davenport Beach in Santa Cruz, about twenty five
Speaker 3: miles from where she was last seen. This was they
Speaker 3: were on a This was a group of triathletes who
Speaker 3: were on a training swim about one hundred This guy,
Speaker 3: John Francois van Ruzo, or her husband, was swimming about
Speaker 3: one hundred yards behind his wife with thirteen other members
Speaker 3: of a local swimming club when a shark dragged his
Speaker 3: wife of thirty years into the water, and witnesses reported
Speaker 3: seeing a shark with the human body in its jaws
Speaker 3: before it's submerged. According to ABC, a big shark, they
Speaker 3: catch shark that it's not. It doesn't say in this story.
Speaker 3: Let's see. Van Russel said. Fox fifty five was found
Speaker 3: still wearing a quote shark band on her ankle. The
Speaker 3: electromagnetic device is meant to ward off sharks. So I
Speaker 3: guess this must be an area where you know there's
Speaker 3: a lot of sharks, and that these folks who do
Speaker 3: these training swims where this electronic electromagnetic band. I guess
Speaker 3: it sends out signals for sharks to stay away.
Speaker 2: That's rough.
Speaker 1: That's really tough. That's very rough.
Speaker 3: Her death is the second fatal shark attack at this area,
Speaker 3: which is called Lover's Point, in seventy three years, the
Speaker 3: first since a seventeen year old boy was killed. This
Speaker 3: is the first shark death in that area since a
Speaker 3: seventeen year old boy was killed in December of nineteen
Speaker 3: fifty two, so December. Both both happened in December. I wonder,
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's sad out for a training thing
Speaker 2: and you get eaten by a shark and you asked
Speaker 2: me if I had a story for you. Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm sorry I asked you have a bummer.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a bummer.
Speaker 2: We did drag the show down, Dan, I mean, is
