That's the good news. 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.440 The bad news is the Ohio Supreme Court did nothing yesterday. 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:20.319 Judge in Franklin County also denied a temporary straining order 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:23.720 and starting well, starting at midnight, right today, right now, 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:27.320 as people go to watch basketball and go to places 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.400 like fifty Western Urban Artifact to have some beverages, you 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.159 will not be able to get a THC infuse beverage 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.960 in the state of Ohio. It's now banned across the 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:40.560 Buckeye State and those manufacturers are left hold in the bag. 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.839 Scotty Hunters a co owner and founder of Urban Artifacts, 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:44.960 and he's on the show this morning. 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:49.640 Scotty welcome, Good morning, Scott Pleasure. 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.159 Yeah, it's probably the best, maybe sadly the best thing 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:53.600 you doing today. I mean this is this has got 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.000 to be hard. The Supreme Court at nak the tro 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.480 in Franklin County was denied, so the band is now 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.560 in effect. You got march Man and this, you got 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:02.520 beautiful weather. People want to get out and have a 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:03.000 good time. 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.360 Walk us. What the morning feels like insider of an artifact. 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.280 Yeah, it's uh, you know, we're waiting right and we 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.080 we were hoping that the Supreme Court was going to 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.679 make a ruling on our case. Yesterday did not come 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.360 to pass, and you mentioned the other release didn't didn't 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.720 get there, so uh, you know, it's just kind of 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.039 you know, undecided. You know, we feel good about our case. 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.480 We we think that it's strong and that the governor 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:30.959 will be you know, rained in in terms of this power, 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.080 and I think that's good follow Highlands. But yeah, just 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.520 waiting around trying to figure out what we go to 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:35.800 do that. 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:37.640 Yeah, I don't know what what what goes on right 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:39.560 now and if the Supreme Court does something to so, 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.360 but you know, for people to do, does hey listen, 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:42.920 I drink beer. 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:44.679 I don't drink tight on thh. I don't care. 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.160 I think you should because this is about your rights 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.320 as a consumer. It's about your rights as an adult. 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.800 In a sense is that you had a people have 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.040 strong saying what they wanted, want to and just want 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.240 to consume what I want to drink, smoke, whatever it is. 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.880 And it's pretty overwhelming the number of people who support this, 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.480 and yet the governor in particular, the legislature and even 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.000 the courts aren't listening to the people in this case. 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.120 Give us a kind of an idea of how much 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.840 of your business model had THHC beverages becoming and what 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.960 does losing that revenue stream mean for your business and 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:18.600 others like it. 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.280 Yeah, we you know, we projected a lot of future 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.320 growth on that, especially as we were doing business planning 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.440 and end of last year into this year. We did 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.959 temper those expectations when some of the federal language passed 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.920 in the fall, but we still have hopes that that 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.520 gets corrected before before November this year. So you know 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.360 what it what it means is, you know, if we 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.680 don't get a favorable woulling today, you know, we will 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.280 have to reassess kind of what we what our needs 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.280 are on the production side. You know, we expect that 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.760 it'll definitely give us a little bit of a hit 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.720 on our on premise sales. People coming out that you know, 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.160 they just don't drink alcohol, period, doesn't matter. There's no 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:02.519 alternative for folks like that. So you know, hopefully we're 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.120 not having some of those conversations, and we're just discussing 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:09.720 how we continue to grow this category and get some 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.720 permanent legislation on the books, you know, before we get 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.400 to that December time frame in Ohio in November for 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:16.600 for the federal right. 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.720 Right, Well, is there any indication first of all, of 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.480 the Ohio Supreme Court that they may see your way in? Secondly, 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.200 what about the federal law that's going to go in 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:27.919 effect later this year because of this outcry and because 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.400 of the attention here are federal lawmakers presuming they're actually 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.320 paying attention, which it doesn't seem like they are going 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:35.720 to override this thing. 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.200 Yeah, I mean it can feel that way at times. 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.120 But you know, all indications from across the industry in 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.840 terms of the federal landscape is that, you know, there's 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.600 been very good progress made and you know, people understand 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.280 the need to get this correct, especially you know, the 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:56.600 farming industry, talking countries that would invested years and years ago. 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:58.360 I just kind of getting a love pulled out from 0:03:58.440 --> 0:03:58.839 under them. 0:03:58.920 --> 0:03:59.760 Yep. As well. 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.880 So we you know, we're we're we're feeling we're feeling 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.240 good about that nothing's done, it's al's done with the 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:09.560 Feds as you know, and it doesn't doesn't move quickly unfortunately, 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.400 so you know, we'll just we'll just have to. 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.920 Wait and see, all right, So presumably you have inventory 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:15.680 in hand right now. 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:16.920 So what happens all that stuff? 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.120 Yeah, so it's it's no longer in the state of 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.480 while based on you know, some legal advice that that 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.760 we are given and some feedback from some of the 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.680 state agencies, although you know, they haven't really sent out 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.560 proper guidance yet for any of the folks poording temp 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:36.599 processor's license in the state. Yeah, it get all got 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.360 moved out of state because you know, if you read 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.080 the law and the response from the DCC, you could 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.560 be charged with drug trafting if you are possessing one 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.839 of these products. And I'm you know, I'm quite worried 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:50.320 that they're gonna do a sting operation if the people 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.000 start going to party tours you know over North Kentucky 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:54.520 or some of the other great litter stores we have 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.559 over there and bring it back over to the state 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.520 and bus somebody to try to make an example and 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.919 just you know, that's not how we should be operating 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.120 as a as a stay and as adult. 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.360 So a beverage let's get this straight here a second Scotty. 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.560 So we're just saying the beverage that is being produced, 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.520 consumed and enjoyed by countless hundreds of thousands, if not millions, 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:17.479 of Americans nationwide in many other states, uh in the 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.200 Buckeye State in Ohio with the Taliban, if you're in 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:25.440 possession of a can of THC a liquid a liquid drink, 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:27.720 I guess all drinks are liquid, but I don't know 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.200 what what cagor to call this r THHD infused drink 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.240 that you can be charged with. I got a six 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.120 pack and now I'm facing time in a federal press. 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.719 I can see that as like you're in there with terrorists, 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.080 You're in there with people who are white collar criminals. 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.000 You're in there with rapists and murders. What do you 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:48.760 win for? I had a six pack of sunflower. It's 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.040 almost too bizarre to believe. 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.040 When I read that, I just had to reread this 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.440 few times because I didn't. I felt like I was 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.920 living in an alternate reality, honestly, where this is where 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.120 we're going as a as a state, and how we're 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.200 treating our adults in the state, and what they're chooting for. 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.279 Better legal products. Right, Yeah, it's crazy to me. 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:14.160 It really is something and this she hot against anything THHC. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.240 But it's part and personal I think for this legislature. Uh, 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.000 you know, I'll call out people I generally support in 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.200 this case because they're dead ass wrong on it, including 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.800 Governor Mike DeWine, who's a friend of the show in 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:25.200 the station. 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:26.480 I couldn't disagree more. 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.080 He has always had it out for marijuana, doesn't understand it, 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:30.960 doesn't get it, doesn't think we need it. And he's 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.160 entitled to his personal views as a citizen. What I 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.560 don't think he's entitled to do is use that mindset 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:40.039 into simply, you know, line not m vido something. There's 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.560 hardly any challenge whatsoever. It's going to get rubber stamped 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.960 and moved through that that countless millions of people enjoy. 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.360 It's not addictive. It's as probably less harmful than that. 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.520 It can make a case it's less harmful than alcohol. 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:56.039 And I know you sell both Bob or Scottie and 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:57.920 and for him just to go, you know, I don't 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.160 like it, so no one should have it. I'm sorry. 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:04.080 That's totalitarianism, that's anti business. All these things Republicans the 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:05.120 geoplate claim. 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:05.919 To be, they're not. 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:08.839 Yeah, I totally agree. 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.440 And there were some very prominent trade groups that have 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.120 been supportive of this category that I thought, would you know, 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:18.239 really stem some of that tie because you know, the 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.720 these these long's relationships and all this in business, right 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.120 and politics. Yeah, and I and I felt like we 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.160 had a lot of the right people on our side, 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.280 and you know, they'd gotten through to a lot of folks, 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.440 and they did on you know, in the Senate House, 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.080 but apparently, you know, in the Governor's office, we didn't 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:37.480 quite get there. So, you know, it's it's just it's 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.840 just something where the we feel very good about our 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.640 case with the Supreme Court because of how, you know, 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:49.640 the governor essentially rewrote legislation. He changed the legislative intents 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.080 of the House and the Senate, and that's just not 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.040 something that we can have stand constitutionally in the city of Ohio. 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.400 It's far too much power to be in one individual 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:03.520 to strike and rewrite laws with potentially no confluence. 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:04.240 Yeah. 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.640 Scotty Hunter Khenor, founder of Urban Artifact, buring on the show. 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.800 If you didn't know THC beverages in Ohio and Ohio 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.000 illegal as of midnight. If you're caught in possession, whether 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.160 you could be charged with drug trafficking, which is is 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.680 laughable because they got this thing. You just took your 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.880 supply and you're selling it in Kentucky. Kentucky and s 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.160 don't seem to have a problem with the drug addiction 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.920 there like we do in the Taliban state of Ohio. 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.480 But the I think it's interesting too because I had 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.079 State Senator Steve hoffmanan and he couldn't agree with us 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.520 more on this one. He's definitely an advocate as a 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.440 physician too for that matter. You know, if it we're 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.240 that bad, would a physician be saying, go ahead and 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:39.800 sell the stuff? 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.839 It's not that big a deal. He told us the. 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.080 Beverage industry had a He thought it was a pretty 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:46.679 a very weak legal argument. And this is of course 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:48.559 he's not he's a doctor, not a lawyer. But from 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.320 his people that he consults with said that the line 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.360 not in vitas. That happen all the time. And in 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.600 that regard, was he right that did did you have 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.200 like maybe false hope about your chances in this case? 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.360 You know, I don't think so, Scott. 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:06.600 The line on anvito is pretty It's simply spelled out 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:11.840 in the state Constitution and it's it's items and relating 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.120 to appropriations of money. There was nothing to do with 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.760 what the language that was taken out by Senator first 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:21.120 our Governor de Wigne. It wasn't solely an item. It 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:25.800 was paragraphed and it was sections, and you know, it 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:30.120 was you know, a large chunk of that bill struck 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.280 out and nothing to do with money. None of those sections, 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.080 none of those items, you know, even if you want 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.200 to try to say that they're an item. And I 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:42.160 think what people don't realize is that they've only seen 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:47.840 that line in vido in our lifetime used appropriately and constitutionally. 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:52.440 So when it happens and it's unconstitutional, people don't necessarily 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:56.079 recognize it because it's not happened in like I think 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.719 the state ball went back fifty years before there was 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.400 a ruling to stop the abidos. So it's just not 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.640 in the consciousness for people to understand that the governor 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.920 could be doing something outside of his constitutional right. 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.200 From a little I know about law, but other than 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.120 I talked to you thought that the dormant commerce commerce 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:16.280 clause argument dormant commerce clause, which basically says that a state, 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.000 in this case, Ohio, can't favor its own state made 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.559 products over out of state competition. You can't pick winners 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:25.360 and losers. That seemed like your strongest card. Were you 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.440 surprised that the court wasn't persuaded. 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.760 Well, just one quick clarification. You know, I was aware 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.280 of that suit supportive. We weren't a plan of on 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.559 the suit that was ruled on yesterday, so you know, 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.720 I don't know it as in as grave a detail, 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.600 but I was kind of shocked, especially because you know, 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.720 we had there was some examples of these state agencies, 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:48.560 you know, like we're talking about saying that you know, 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:52.720 if you're possessing this, you're going to be a charge 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.400 with drug traffing potentially, and you know that that impacts 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.200 trucks going through the state. And that's that's where I'm 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:02.600 very shocked at, you know, and sorry Tiro was not granted, 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.800 because now there's gonna be trucking companies looking at Ohio 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:09.520 and they don't want you know, if they're bringing legal 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.640 products from Minnesota down to Kentucky or Florida, what have you, 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.120 They're not gonna want to go down seventy five and 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.760 come through Ohio if they have a fear that their 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:21.679 truck drivers might be stopped, might be charged with drug trafficking. Right, 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.800 That's that's the headache that nobody wants. And that's and 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.120 that's why they're doing the commerce projectives right, So state 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.480 can't do that. It's been challenged. Other states have tried 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.080 to do this in the past. It loses in mettle 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.440 quarter one hundred times out of one hundred. So but 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:36.880 it doesn't mean that it won't cause fear and strife 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:38.560 and all these things and make business part of just 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.480 you know, not for Ohio ins outside of the whisle. 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:45.280 All these things. 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.080 Now you got me laugh and then it's a serious topic. 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.760 But I just picture a semi load full of product 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.559 THHG and fuse beverages trying to get to Ohio from 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:59.200 another state being chased by Jackie Gleason, Burt Reynolds. Isn't 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.840 a trans am and a woman in a white wedding dress. 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.280 You got Jerry Reid and a and a dog in 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.520 a truck trying to divert them. And it's it's like 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.560 smoking the bandit For God's sakes. Other states have it 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.280 and we don't. We can't get it. Are you do 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:15.680 you have a fear that this is going to tamp 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.680 down innovation because that's the engine that drives American commerce, 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.600 course innovation. That's where gdp is word is. This is 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.520 against any of those principles. 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.760 Oh, absolutely, every beverage manufacturer in Ohio is now at 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.360 you know, a disservice or sorry, disadvantage to other producers 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.680 across countries. You know, we we sell our brain in 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:37.160 a ten other twelve other states and now you know 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.480 we have to look at out forcing that production to 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.920 some other states. So there's you know, jobs and revenue there. 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.360 But in addition, it gives us far less flexibility to 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.920 be creative and nimble and innovative, like you're saying, within 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.640 the category, because we can't produce it here, we can't 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:52.960 test that here, we can't do a lot of things 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.040 that we could do that are very advantageous for us 0:12:56.080 --> 0:13:00.559 as a beverage business. And you know that's where the 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.120 you know, the banning the retail beverages is one piece 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.840 of this which we don't agree with. But then also 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.400 to say you can't manufacture and possess for out of 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.880 state sales is even a step that I couldn't have 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:15.800 expected Ohio to take because of you know, it's a 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:20.000 very very manufacturing and agricultural driven state, and so you're 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.880 taking out, you know, jobs that from both right, people 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.040 can't farm, you know, the way the law is written. 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:32.000 You mentioned it's not just hemp beverages, but farmers are 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:33.560 not going to be able to plant crops with hemps 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:37.880 in the state and process them. You know, if we 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.720 talked about the drug trafficking, we talked about kentucking hemp beverages, 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.840 but the same applies for recreational marijuana from marijuana. 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:45.720 Sorry, Michigan. 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.480 So now the way SPA fifty six is written in 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:52.920 the past, you could be charged and stop if you 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.439 are brain you know, you go over it even if 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.760 you're not intending to like you know, bulk up, like 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.319 you're just visiting people you bring in them or one 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.640 from some other state. Now it's illegal, it's illegal marijuana. 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.840 And you can be charged. Yeah, like that's not that 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:08.280 doesn't that doesn't make. 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:11.120 Any sense to me as uh, you know, law abiding adults. 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:12.800 If you do something legally in one day and you 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.559 bring it back to Ohio, you know how why should 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.680 be able to get in trouble for that, And it's 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.160 just in the you know, confines of your own home, right. 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:21.880 Well, I mean they'd look at it too and go, well, 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.080 you have your Second Amendment and guns, well you should 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.120 be able a lot. Okay, again, it's not constitutionally protected. 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.240 I get the nuance there. It's not part of the 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.680 Bill of Rights and aren't atable. But at the same time, 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.880 it's the will of the people. It's like it's commerce 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.240 and a bunch of other things. If you're trying to 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.880 be pro business friendly, this sets you back, in my opinion. 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:41.080 So urban artifact. 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.920 I mentioned fifty West and Bobby and you guys are 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:48.280 joined together in the suit, and many other manufacturers across 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.200 the Ohio who probably aren't part of the suit, who 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.040 don't have the resources to do that. Are they going 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:54.360 to be able to I mean, are you gonna be 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.240 able to survive this? It's fifty West and be able 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.560 to survive this. Are you aware of any businesses or 0:14:58.600 --> 0:14:59.440 breweries that may not. 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.680 I'm not Scott because everybody you know, it's their own business. 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.080 But you know, I can imagine that things will look 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.840 different for a lot of businesses because there was so 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:13.760 much of you know, that that revenue, that production tied 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.720 up in this growing category. And you know, even if 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.480 it's only ten percent of your business, you know that's 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.960 a big hit right now when when beer sales and 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.720 alcohol sales are are trending down and you have a 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:29.760 ripple effects across the whole whole supply chain. So you know, 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.680 I don't know of anybody immediately other than you know, 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.800 folks like that were solely focused on that. And there's 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:37.880 a couple of manufacturers I know that you know, they 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.560 exclusively were doing cam beverages. They are either moving out 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:44.280 of state or closing up shops and and that's kind 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.040 of the I think the scariest part to me is, 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:52.640 you know, as of today, there's probably thousands and thousands 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.680 of the Highlands that have just lost their jobs because 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.359 of the passage of passage. 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:56.480 Of this bill. 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.800 And now we're going to have to economically support all 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.760 the boss jobs and they're not coming back, right like, 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.240 there's not just like a you know, the store funds 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.280 if you don't whether whatever you feel about the hemp 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.480 shop and things like that, you know, the storefronts are 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:13.080 going to set vacant right therese they aren't getting backfield. 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.040 So there's a lot of economic impact for the whole 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.040 state that it's going to start being tellt in very 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:18.640 near future. 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:20.200 It's something else. 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.200 I mean, Spring starts in a little over in an hour, 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.640 Scottie Hunter, you've got March madness. The bars and restaurants 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:27.800 will be packed with people. The doors will be opened 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:29.840 down at the Holy Grail. Banks are doing a Miami 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.080 watch party today at Holy Grail. The place will be packed, 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.160 swamped with people wanting to drink and enjoy a long weekend. 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:39.720 Maybe taking today off just simp to enjoy spring because 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.880 mother old man Winter's dead, it's his funeral, He's going 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.480 to die at ten forty six today, and so many 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.560 people would want to consume those beverages. The timing of 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.280 this thing is is just the worst part of it. 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.040 Yeah, yeah, I agreed. And you know some of the 0:16:56.080 --> 0:17:01.440 excuses were made about federal law. That case, federal law 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.160 will go into place and you won't have to worry 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:03.520 about it. 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:05.080 Right, Why did we want to. 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:08.880 Be more restrictive and in a quicker fashion when there 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:13.880 is the ability to give your in state operators more 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.760 time to adapt. Because we all knew that the federal 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.199 pieces there right. Everybody was then business planning on that 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:24.320 and deciding how they're going to operate. They didn't expect 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.320 a ninety day accelerated and it wasn't even clear because 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.360 the summary, the summary just went up like last week 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:32.600 for the bill in terms of what it did. There's 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.040 been no guidance from the ODA, there's been no guidance 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:38.040 from the DCC. All the state level agencies that are 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.040 supposify guidance for folks that are in this business have 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:45.679 those licenses. Absolute radio silence. And that was the toughest 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.360 part because now you're having to sort through that bill 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:48.920 that was signed and you have no guidance. 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.160 Well, the other element here too is the Feds could 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:52.720 very well over to say yea, we're not going to 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.080 do this, go ahead and make your TC beverages were 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.760 good and now you guys got a ramp production. It's 0:17:57.760 --> 0:17:59.840 going to cost you more money to get back online. 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.840 And that's the hope. And they were pessimistic as opposed 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.119 to optimistic as to what the federal legislature do. He 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.680 is a Scottie Hunter Kohner and founder of Urban Artifact Brewing. 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.280 Fingers crossed at the Supreme court intervenes today. I hope 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:13.879 that's the case. If so, we'll get you back on 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.080 right away. And I hope that that is the case 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:18.920 up in Columbus. Scotty all the best and hang in there, man. 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:20.920 I appreciate Scott, thanks for having me. 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.080 Take care you bet there you go very latest on that. 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:24.560 Enjoy the games. You just can't do it with a 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:26.920 THHC drink because if you do, when you try to 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.800 bring it in from another state, Jackie Gleeson will be 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.159 chasing you like he did Burt Reynolds and smoking the bandit. 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:37.000 It's unreal. Seven hundred WLW. Hi Scott filling here on. 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:38.480 Seven hundred w LW. 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:41.000 So we've heard the story of the age Ol store 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:45.520 about renters v. Landlords and there's an effort to reduce 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:50.760 repeat emergency calls to rental properties. And you know sometimes 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.640 there are properties out there and people renting that are nuisance. 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.640 At least in Kentucky, common sense is king because there 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.760 they're proposing a law which would address chronic nuisance occurrences 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.480 at the properties, a three strikes in your outlaw and 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:05.600 on that is Boone County Commissioner Jesse Brewer, working with 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:09.040 state REPTJ. Roberts in Northern Kentucky for house spilled three 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:10.480 three seven that would do justice. 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:11.520 Jesse welcome, how you been? 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.440 Hey, I'm great. Thanks thanks for vting me on. Yeah, 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:14.960 I appreciate it. 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.000 Appreciate it all right, give me the details of though, 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:18.679 First of all, why is this needed? How big a 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:22.160 problem are the nuisance tenants in Northern Kentucky and Boone County? 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:26.000 So well, it's not just Boone County. It's everywhere. 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:26.520 This is it. 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.840 It's any area where you have rental property. What if 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.919 you get someone that's successively abusing public services? You know 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:38.160 there this is This is for the person that plays 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.280 for Radio two loud all the time, or maybe partaking 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.200 in some substances they shouldn't partake in. The neighbors smell 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.800 it and complain or whatever the case may be, what 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:51.320 they call neighbor. Someone calls nine to one one, The 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:53.879 police have to go out there, The paramedics have to 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:57.800 go out there for whatever reason, and also not it's 0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:00.000 taking away from their job of what they should be doing, 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:02.880 you know, because they have to respond no matter what, 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.120 because what if it's that one time there is really 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:08.200 a problem, Right, So they got to respond. Well, after 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:13.400 they do this so many times, the cities in counties two, 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.320 they can tell the property owner, hey, we got a 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:18.760 problem here at this property. 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:20.760 We've been here at X y z times. I'll you know. 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:23.720 I had a tenant in a building in the city 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:25.760 in Kenton County, and I think the police were there 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:31.440 eighteen times in a thirty day span because he would 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.439 just went and quit playing the stereo aloud, and then 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.080 they were kept calling, and so the city came to 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:38.159 me and said, hey, you gotta do something about this 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:42.440 or you're going to start finding you. Well, under current law, 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:46.200 if a tenant's paying their rent, you can't just give 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:48.600 them a seven day notes to vacate for non payment rent. 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.280 I know Ohio is three day, but in Kentucky at seven, 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:54.920 you can't just give them a seven day non payment notice. 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:58.040 You gotta file thirty day eviction notice. You gotta file 0:20:58.119 --> 0:20:59.280 thirty day notice to vacate. 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:01.040 Then you can of victims. 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.880 So they'll get me there, pronuncio two to three months. Well, 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:06.840 what House Soil three thirty seven will do is it will 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:09.760 allow us to shorten that length and that notice period, 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:14.440 shorten it up, allowing to get them out quicker the 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:18.600 NW sense, which is for less of austral of public services. 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:20.679 The property owner can then maybe get a tenant in 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:24.480 there that's a good community member. Lower their costs, you know, 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:26.480 because you got a person that's doing this things tearing 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.600 the place up. Lower my cost, I lower my operating costs, 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.840 I lower my housing costs, housing gifts cheaper. 0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:35.320 Okay, all right, that makes sense. Let me jesse. 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:37.280 Let me play devil's advocate for just a second. I 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:41.080 like being the devil's advocate here. This happened in Ohio 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:44.199 years ago when we had when gun crimes are starting to, 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:46.680 I guess become more of an issue than they are now. 0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:48.879 Seems kind of quaint to think that wasn't the case. 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:51.080 But they decided, hey, we're going to sue gun man 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:52.879 if we're going to have their gun manufactured. Then the 0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:56.000 defense was, well, you know what, why are you soon 0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:59.240 as well? Because the cost police fire, emergency responders and 0:21:59.280 --> 0:21:59.960 all that stuff. 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:01.160 It's a fall the gun. 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:04.160 What wind up happening is that, well, no, that's why 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:06.879 police fire and MS exists is in order to do that, 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:09.960 you can't sue someone for doing their job in that case. 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:11.840 Does that apply here in that. Yeah, it might be 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:15.639 a nuisance and it's training resources. But police fire and 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:19.920 MS exists to respond in this case. Nuisance sentence. Police 0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:22.320 exists to respond to things like that as part of 0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:23.120 their job description. 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:24.840 Is that an affirmatile defense? 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:28.080 It could be, but then they're going to look to 0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:30.399 you as a property owner because they have ordinances on 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:33.080 our boats that says you have a problem ten here 0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:35.880 that's creating and creating us to be called come here 0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:38.800 too much, stucking up too much resources, and we're. 0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.000 Going to start charging you for these trips. 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:44.639 Or you've got a problem here with this tenant because 0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:47.440 the resident that you're responsible for because we are here 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:50.800 too much, got it because it's there. So it's I 0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:53.480 feel what you're saying on that. But with the ordinance 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:55.159 and laws are in the books, we are kind of 0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:56.720 forced as property as to do something. 0:22:57.160 --> 0:22:59.439 Yeah, because then I could I could turn that around 0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:02.040 and go, okay, well if I got to make if 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:04.439 we're making multiple runs to the same place over and 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:07.280 over and over again, could that not apply to I 0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:09.600 don't know, a sports stadium. Could that un apply to 0:23:09.720 --> 0:23:11.919 a university? Could that not apply let's say to a 0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:15.000 nursing home where you you know again, whether it's police 0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:18.400 fireing mess. Okay, there's a nursing home here where I live, 0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:20.920 and in every other day there's a squad out front, 0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:23.360 largely because the people inside are the age where they're 0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:27.480 passing away or suffering the debilitating or stressing the medical 0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:30.960 emergencies as comes with old age. But no one would 0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:32.920 agree that, hey, you know what, we should target a 0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:35.119 nursing home because of all the response calls we have 0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:38.879 there because they're abusing the system, correct. 0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:40.399 And that's where the abuse is the system going to 0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:42.439 come in as a specific person. If you have a 0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:45.200 nursing home a large department store, you're getting calls as 0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:48.760 different people, different issues, or they're legitimate medical emergencies. And 0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:52.720 again this doesn't get triggered unless the cities or the 0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:56.760 municipalities cite the property of yeah so, and they're not 0:23:56.800 --> 0:24:00.760 going to do that unless it's a legitimate abusive that's 0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:02.480 the legitaries will be there, but they're not going that's 0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:03.680 those triggers wouldn't happen. 0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:04.679 Got it, got it? 0:24:04.960 --> 0:24:05.200 Yeah? 0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:07.560 And in Cincinnati, I don't know if it's changed since 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:10.280 or not. I don't own proper Encincinnati, but for a 0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:12.040 while they were talking, Hey, you know what, if you've 0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:15.240 got a you have a tenant that's a problem. After 0:24:15.280 --> 0:24:17.840 a couple occurrences, we're going to start finding the landlord. 0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:18.960 I go, wait a minute, now. 0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:20.960 If I've got a grown ass adult living in one 0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:23.960 of my units, am I responsible to drive by several 0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:26.560 times a day to make sure that individuals not playing 0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:29.359 their music loud or smoking weed in the yard or 0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:31.679 doing it? And of course not that that's on them, not, 0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:32.960 that's not the landlord. 0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:37.000 I don't disagree with you at all, And but they 0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:39.399 look at you as their screen or responsible person to 0:24:39.400 --> 0:24:42.160 put them in there. Mike Keunterden, Well, if they owned 0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:45.359 their own house, so you start signing fighting, then yeah exactly, 0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:47.640 said the police source said, yeah, we will. 0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:48.760 There's orgiousness for that. 0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:53.160 I was like, oh, okay that because the people who 0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:55.120 are irresponsible we won't hold accountable. 0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:58.199 We'll count the typical in America, the people who are 0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:01.560 responsible accountable. We're gonna hold them responsible as opposed to 0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:03.280 the people are even though they're all adults. I can 0:25:03.320 --> 0:25:06.120 see it doing for a kid, but these are grown adults. 0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:06.600 Correct. 0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:08.879 And a lot of times when the first responders in 0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:11.840 the cities don't necessarily understand how landlord tenant law works, 0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:14.400 and they're like, get this person out of here, let's 0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:16.399 do process. I gotta give them a thirty day notice. 0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:18.360 I gotta wait for this. I gotta you know, there's 0:25:18.400 --> 0:25:20.800 hoops I gotta jump through, and they don't understand that. 0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:23.760 A grasp that and they get frustrated with you. So 0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:28.760 ideally this would allow us to identify the problem that 0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:32.119 apple is a few and speed up that time to 0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:35.960 save resources, preserve property. You know, if I got a 0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:38.680 tenant that's just junking up the yard and jumping dunk 0:25:38.960 --> 0:25:41.120 junk cars in the yard, doing this and doing that, 0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:43.359 I gotta let them sit there and continue to damage 0:25:43.359 --> 0:25:47.200 the property for an extra month under the current wall. 0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:52.720 Assuming that rent. This way, I can streak. I get 0:25:52.720 --> 0:25:54.879 the streak the problem, lower my. 0:25:55.000 --> 0:25:58.399 Cost, get a better ten in there, make the neighbors happy, 0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:02.000 make the police have apartment, our department happy, code enforcement happy, 0:26:02.359 --> 0:26:03.240 and everyone wins. 0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:05.840 And it's good for the nator's if you you know 0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:08.200 the other thing, Jesse Burwer by their Boone County Commissioner 0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:10.320 on this three strikes in your outlaw that's being proposed 0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:13.800 in Kentucky, meaning that if police have multiple calls, we'll 0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:15.760 get the details of that. A second, multiple calls to 0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:19.119 a rental property. Uh, you can, as a landlord evict 0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:21.679 that person that that holds them accountable for their actions. 0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:24.520 Because the way is in Cincinnatis, it was is all right, 0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:26.040 we're going to go after the landlord if it's a 0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:28.400 new sentenant. Okay, well, can I victim? Oh no, no, no, 0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:30.400 no no, that's that's damn near impossible to kick kick 0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:32.080 these people out because you know, you got to go 0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:33.800 a course the whole probably Well wait a minute, hold 0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:36.560 on just a second. Here, this is Jesse. I like 0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:39.240 you because your common sense kind of guy like me. 0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:42.760 This is just damn common sense. Get into the details exactly. Yeah, 0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:45.000 get into the details of what the triggers for this 0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:45.760 eviction would be. 0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:49.439 So first of all, it starts with if people just 0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:52.159 do what they're supposed to do and be normal human beings, 0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:54.720 you don't have anything to worry about. Right If if 0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:57.040 people just do the right thing and and not be 0:26:57.480 --> 0:27:01.240 an a hole, you know, then you wouldn't have any issues. 0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:04.240 But this is designed for you know, you got someone 0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:06.800 that's likes to put off a bunch of crap in 0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:10.280 the yard of the property and make it unsafe. They're 0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:13.199 putting cars or putting refrigerators or whatever they want to do. 0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:16.639 I had this happen to me. Well, city site you 0:27:17.119 --> 0:27:18.240 as they rightfully should. 0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:18.719 I get that. 0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:20.439 Okay, they're gonna site. If you can't do this, we've 0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.120 got to ordinance FI get this. You know, after about 0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:25.920 three or four of those you like for when you 0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:28.200 always find a stack up, and now they're like, get 0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:30.400 this person out of here. You know, we keep coming 0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:33.200 over here to deal the decisions. This person needs to go. Well, 0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:35.840 they pay their rent, so I got to go file 0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:38.400 a third day notice to vacate on them, and then 0:27:38.440 --> 0:27:41.200 I can file an addition after that if they stay, 0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:44.640 and that's another thirty days. Right, Meanwhile, you're still dealing 0:27:44.720 --> 0:27:47.320 with the same issues and the frustrations growth. Or you 0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:49.760 get another person that you know they like to play 0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:52.119 the stereo a little too loud and the neighbors are 0:27:52.160 --> 0:27:54.680 constantly calling the police. Well, if they show up about 0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:57.800 three or four or five times within a certain times, man, 0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:01.320 they will send you a love note that says we're 0:28:01.359 --> 0:28:03.400 going to start finding you. Mister property owner. You need 0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:07.080 to get your tenant community orders rules in line. So's 0:28:07.440 --> 0:28:09.880 there's some layers that have to happen here. You know, 0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:13.320 you have to have an excessive repeat offender that that 0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:16.760 that has unfounded you know, call for service, then the 0:28:16.800 --> 0:28:20.000 city would have to cite you or or then the 0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:22.640 city would say okay, this is the problem. They give 0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:25.159 you the notice, then you can do the three day 0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:28.280 notice of vak as this law of proposed gotcha and 0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:31.120 shave a month off the shave a month off the process. 0:28:31.240 --> 0:28:33.600 So you have to have what three three strikes in 0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:35.080 a would you say, six month period. 0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:38.080 That's what the current that's how it is currently written. 0:28:39.160 --> 0:28:41.800 But it's a lot of the stiff fall discretionary to 0:28:41.840 --> 0:28:43.720 when the city is also cite the landlords. There's still 0:28:43.720 --> 0:28:46.400 gonna be some bugs to work out here. I think 0:28:46.440 --> 0:28:48.920 the three months has three, three and six months. But 0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:52.440 the city doesn't cite you, or the county doesn't cite you, 0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:54.800 then there's no trigger there. They have to be the 0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:56.080 one to take the step to site you. 0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:00.440 What about an element of discrimination? And here in a 0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:02.800 sense that because I'm just trying to think of how 0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:04.920 how one may counter this argument in poke holes and 0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:07.840 help the law become better let's say, for example, Uh, 0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:09.960 there's some bad neighbors and they don't like the person 0:29:10.000 --> 0:29:13.680 living there because they're young, they're old, they're white, they're black, 0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:16.200 they are I don't know, gay, straight, whatever it might be. 0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:18.360 And like the neighbors are like, wow, you know, are 0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:20.120 they You know I've seen this one before too. But 0:29:20.120 --> 0:29:22.440 belive in our political affiliations, we don't want this person 0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:22.880 the neighbor. 0:29:23.760 --> 0:29:24.240 You do that? 0:29:24.480 --> 0:29:26.480 How do we know that those are legitimate calls for 0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:29.280 service and complaints as opposed to someone just trying to 0:29:29.360 --> 0:29:30.440 run someone off of property. 0:29:31.240 --> 0:29:33.200 And that's a good point. That's it to be worked out. 0:29:33.200 --> 0:29:35.160 And I believe if the spirit of the law would 0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:37.800 be they are the problem, not someone calling on them 0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:39.880 for someone that they can't control, like one of those 0:29:39.880 --> 0:29:42.360 types of things. Okay, you know you still have they 0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:44.840 everyone still have the First Amendment right. They still have a right, 0:29:44.920 --> 0:29:47.040 you know, freedom of speech and see whatever of religion, 0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:50.440 political affiliation they want. And if they're you know, spare 0:29:50.440 --> 0:29:53.560 housing has a lot of protections there and someone's calling 0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:55.200 just one of those onreed reasons, and the city gets 0:29:55.240 --> 0:29:56.320 there said, well, this isn't. 0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:57.120 Really have found a complaint. 0:29:57.560 --> 0:29:59.720 They can't go back on you and make you violate 0:29:59.760 --> 0:30:02.480 fair housing to move someone out because of the color 0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:05.040 their skin, or they're religion or family's destined and everything. 0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:06.200 Why yeah, I mean you could always find you a 0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:08.520 neighbor doing something you disagree with, but calling the place. 0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:10.640 Some people do that. They're vindictive, they got nothing better 0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:13.120 to do. I've seen it happen. I'm sure you've seen 0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:15.440 it happen with with sentence as well. And whatever the 0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:18.120 issue is, it shouldn't cause you to lose where you 0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:21.000 live because it's the it's the other person's problem, not yours. 0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:23.520 And that's would be where they have to have a 0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:27.680 valid nuisance violations, not something that's what you suggested. 0:30:27.840 --> 0:30:30.040 What would that that's something of it, Jesse Brewer. 0:30:30.080 --> 0:30:32.560 Would domestic violence calls be excluded from this? 0:30:33.760 --> 0:30:33.880 Oh? 0:30:33.920 --> 0:30:34.400 I hope so. 0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:36.880 And that's something I would hope so because that's a 0:30:36.880 --> 0:30:39.640 safety issue, right, I would definitely hope that you would 0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:44.560 have domestic violence issues be screened on that. And that's 0:30:44.600 --> 0:30:46.120 a tricky one because you don't want anyone to be 0:30:46.120 --> 0:30:49.720 in an that stage situation. So I believe that's what 0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:52.040 would be need to be excluded from that. As a 0:30:52.080 --> 0:30:53.920 domestic violence called absolutely Boon. 0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:56.240 County Commissioner Jesse Brewer on the Scotsland Show seven hundred 0:30:56.320 --> 0:30:58.760 w all over but his hospital three thirty seventies helping craft. 0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:03.880 That would three strikes an out rule for chronic nuisance tenants. 0:31:03.880 --> 0:31:06.600 So if you get three service calls within a six 0:31:06.640 --> 0:31:09.040 months parent the granted, those have to be verified and 0:31:09.320 --> 0:31:12.480 this person has to you know, you get eighteen noise complaints, 0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:14.040 as you said, you should get run off and it 0:31:14.080 --> 0:31:17.320 gives three days notice for a landlord to evict you. 0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:19.360 If you are one of those people who are using 0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:21.400 a lot of the resources. You mentioned this about saving 0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:25.600 money and allocate proper allocation resources. Uh, there's overtime costs, 0:31:25.600 --> 0:31:28.560 there's equipment where how prow big a problem? 0:31:28.600 --> 0:31:30.840 Is this really? How many nuisance tenants are there? 0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:31.080 Is it? 0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:32.040 Is it a huge problem or. 0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:36.800 The Kentucky it's enough to where we're talking about it right. Uh, 0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:38.880 it's one of it's one of those issues. Is it 0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:43.120 is it? Is it detrimental to the business? No? Uh, 0:31:43.160 --> 0:31:46.880 but this would just prevent a problem. Yes, it's a problem. 0:31:47.320 --> 0:31:50.040 It's it's not that we have a lot of these problems, 0:31:50.080 --> 0:31:52.640 but when you have one, it's a big problem, or 0:31:52.720 --> 0:31:56.360 could be a big problem and very falsely problem uh 0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:57.600 for the cities to. 0:31:58.120 --> 0:32:00.440 Dispatch services for the property and every thing else. 0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:03.160 So you know, if I have one hundred tenants, you 0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:06.720 know this might be one or two of them. But 0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:08.920 when you start multiplying, now you know, across all the 0:32:08.920 --> 0:32:11.440 rental property and everything else, and compounding it, and you 0:32:11.480 --> 0:32:13.840 know you you know, you have ten thousand pieces of 0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:17.840 rental property nation of city. There's a lot of services 0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:20.120 on a police department, fire department to be wasted. 0:32:21.080 --> 0:32:23.560 Not much of a deal at the Northern Kentucky University 0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:26.840 or Mount Saint Joe. But what about UK Louisville, big 0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:29.480 universities where you have a large number of young people 0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:32.080 like to have fun and be allowed at all ours 0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:34.800 a night. What about UK Louisville and schools like that 0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:38.320 relative to off campus housing, well, KHUS it could. 0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:38.720 Be little different. 0:32:38.720 --> 0:32:39.840 So I get it's that it had to be the 0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:42.040 triggering of the calls from the police to the landlord. 0:32:42.240 --> 0:32:45.360 But a lot of those cities already have ordinances in place, 0:32:45.920 --> 0:32:49.200 and what they're going to do is they still if 0:32:49.240 --> 0:32:51.680 you have a problem, they still are going to make 0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:52.520 you get rid of them. 0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:54.880 This isn't like there's so many. 0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:56.040 If I have a nuisance. 0:32:55.760 --> 0:32:58.520 Problem today right now on the current law, I'm still 0:32:58.520 --> 0:33:01.080 getting the love branch from the city with a citation, 0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:05.640 threats or citations than deal with this. So I have 0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:08.440 it just takes me thirty days to get them out. 0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:09.480 And then the no thirty days. 0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:12.520 Interesting in theory, if I can get them out faster, 0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:17.000 this could be an enticement for people to behave. 0:33:16.880 --> 0:33:20.240 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it could very well be. Again, there's 0:33:20.240 --> 0:33:22.160 a lot of there's some perils in here that have 0:33:22.200 --> 0:33:24.200 to be addressed, So I'd imagine it could take a 0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:26.880 bit of time to get through the legislature, and. 0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:28.280 It may not get through this year. 0:33:28.480 --> 0:33:30.440 A lot of times the legislation like this comes up 0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:32.880 and gets introduced for a year, they talked about it 0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:35.040 and tweak it among all the other legislations that they do, 0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:37.560 and it might come back next year looking a little different. 0:33:37.840 --> 0:33:40.520 But the conversation starts the committee meeting here. You can 0:33:40.560 --> 0:33:43.280 start on any legislation that you got to get it introduced. 0:33:43.320 --> 0:33:45.080 You've got to get it going, and then you've got 0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:47.280 to get input from the other stakeholders and groups and 0:33:47.360 --> 0:33:47.920 address it. 0:33:47.920 --> 0:33:49.600 It might take two or three sessions to get something 0:33:49.640 --> 0:33:52.400 push now, No, that makes sense. Kentucky is the Kentucky 0:33:52.480 --> 0:33:53.200 is the budget year. 0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:55.719 It's our bi annual Kentucky would do the budget every 0:33:55.760 --> 0:33:57.720 other year for two years, so it's our bi annual 0:33:57.720 --> 0:33:59.920 budget year. So there's a lot of high priorities that 0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:03.600 Kentucky right now, you know, I know there's they got 0:34:03.640 --> 0:34:04.280 a lot of like the. 0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:07.040 Grooming bill Marian from here, that's a. 0:34:07.000 --> 0:34:09.480 Good one she's got filed, right So there's a lot 0:34:09.480 --> 0:34:13.680 of other jos say, higher priorities for legislators rightfully, So 0:34:14.200 --> 0:34:16.399 we've got so much time. So this one might make 0:34:16.440 --> 0:34:20.160 it heard and talked about. Isn't really brought and center. 0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:22.200 It's a niche it's a niche issue. 0:34:22.200 --> 0:34:25.960 It's a niche industry problem for police, fire and cities. 0:34:26.120 --> 0:34:29.080 So but it could get talked about, expand upon and 0:34:29.120 --> 0:34:30.040 move along the typeline. 0:34:30.160 --> 0:34:32.360 Sure, but there's certain priorities. 0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:34.520 There's only so much time to day for these legislators 0:34:34.520 --> 0:34:37.120 that to address issues, and they'll get to it when 0:34:37.120 --> 0:34:37.839 they can get to it. 0:34:38.000 --> 0:34:41.680 So yeah, Jesse brew Boone County Commission. Always a pleasure 0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:43.480 having you on and something to think about, for sure. 0:34:43.520 --> 0:34:45.560 I think it's interesting I want to follow this one, 0:34:45.760 --> 0:34:47.520 uh and see if we can do this in Ohio 0:34:47.600 --> 0:34:51.520 because it makes sense. I think you can't force someone 0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:53.400 to be a good neighbor, but the law should be 0:34:53.400 --> 0:34:55.920 able to help you. This one. It's good for the neighborhood. 0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:58.040 It's good you think, Anna Jesse all the best, Thanks 0:34:58.080 --> 0:34:58.640 for jumping in. 0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:00.920 Thanks apreciate a good one. 0:35:01.000 --> 0:35:03.359 Yeah, you too, be well are you doing in your 0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:06.200 brackets so far? I'm actually not bad. I'm like eighty 0:35:06.400 --> 0:35:08.600 something percent, eighty five eighty, I forget what it is. 0:35:09.280 --> 0:35:12.360 Ohio State and a couple others got me. But but 0:35:12.560 --> 0:35:15.400 the good news is some of the dogs I got those. 0:35:15.440 --> 0:35:17.960 So I'm feeling pretty good today. At four twenty five, 0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:22.400 it is Miami and number six Tennessee. The play in 0:35:22.560 --> 0:35:25.640 Darlings take on Tennessee. I got, I got the RedHawks, 0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:27.239 and I'm betting with my head, not my heart. I 0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:29.640 think that I think Miami for some reason in my head, 0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:30.920 I got it they can beat Tennessee. 0:35:30.960 --> 0:35:31.880 We'll find out today. 0:35:32.080 --> 0:35:33.640 And if you're looking for place to hang, if you're 0:35:33.680 --> 0:35:38.440 Miami supporter, grad a little whatever, Holy Grail banks today 0:35:38.560 --> 0:35:40.880 they'll have them. The doors open, the beer flowing, the 0:35:40.960 --> 0:35:44.000 nice warm weather blowing in, and you can watch any 0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:46.279 one of the sixteen matchups today at Holy Grail Banks, 0:35:46.280 --> 0:35:51.160 but especially Miami later on Today Scott's Loan Show continues seven. 0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:53.360 Hundred w Welde You want to be a. 0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:57.680 Boy If you're on the mindset that the world right now, 0:35:57.719 --> 0:36:02.279 in a particular the American world is troubled, I don't 0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:04.440 think it is. I think we have some We have 0:36:04.480 --> 0:36:06.520 a lot of problems. We've always had a lot of problems. 0:36:06.520 --> 0:36:08.600 The problems just shift into different problems and the things 0:36:08.600 --> 0:36:10.640 that were problems gets fixed, and its just the nature 0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:12.520 of life. But if you look at it as half empty, 0:36:12.880 --> 0:36:15.160 you're going to get half empty. And I point this 0:36:15.239 --> 0:36:16.920 out because of all the things we got going on 0:36:16.960 --> 0:36:19.440 in the world, this one, to me is the biggest 0:36:19.440 --> 0:36:25.800 indicator that we have problems. TMZ is reporting that Chuck 0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:28.399 Norris is dead at the age of eighty six. I said, 0:36:28.480 --> 0:36:32.880 Chuck Norris dead at the age of eighty six per TMZ. 0:36:34.600 --> 0:36:37.560 Of course, knowing what was Delta Force and Missing Inaction 0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:41.480 and Walker Texas Ranger and the Living Embodiment and all 0:36:41.520 --> 0:36:44.359 the jokes and memes about Chuck Norris never dying, He's 0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:49.520 actually died, according to the reports. And I just read 0:36:49.560 --> 0:36:53.000 this this morning oddly, I mean literally maybe an hour 0:36:53.080 --> 0:36:55.239 before the word came out from TMZ that he had died, 0:36:56.160 --> 0:36:59.240 that he had some sort of medical emergency in Kauwhai 0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:03.040 Andaii that landed him in the hospital. And I said, well, 0:37:03.120 --> 0:37:04.799 we don't know what the problem is, but he's in 0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:09.040 good spirits because he was on the island training and 0:37:09.239 --> 0:37:11.880 he just had his birthday I think a couple of 0:37:11.920 --> 0:37:15.080 weeks ago, he turned eighty six, and he marked the 0:37:15.120 --> 0:37:17.799 occasion by posting a video on social that showed him 0:37:17.840 --> 0:37:22.440 sparring with a trainer, and everything was fine, and he 0:37:22.560 --> 0:37:25.719 fell ill quickly, a medical emergency and went to the 0:37:25.800 --> 0:37:28.200 hospital Hawaii. And now Chuck Norris passed away at the 0:37:28.200 --> 0:37:30.800 age eighty six. You know, you talk about economic issues 0:37:30.840 --> 0:37:32.880 and the price of gas in the war, and political 0:37:32.960 --> 0:37:38.720 polarization and governance be it federal, state or local healthcare, 0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:43.160 social issues, safety and crime huge here in Cincinnati. Infrastructures 0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:46.600 falling apart in Cincinnati. Education we got problems in schools. 0:37:46.640 --> 0:37:49.720 Of course, there's a disconnect. We for further and further behind. 0:37:50.680 --> 0:37:53.120 We have a maximum credit card debt, more and more 0:37:53.160 --> 0:37:55.000 people take it more to other furrow one K. I 0:37:55.040 --> 0:37:57.240 can handle all that. But when Chuck Norris passes away, 0:37:57.880 --> 0:38:02.320 when Chuck Norris decides to depart this heaven, maybe I 0:38:02.360 --> 0:38:05.080 should not be so glass half full. Look at this 0:38:05.120 --> 0:38:08.200 as a sign. I don't know, but God bless Chuck 0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:10.759 Norris eighty six. He just seemed like a guy's gonna 0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:14.960 live forever. That's a shocker right there. And meanwhile, meanwhile, 0:38:15.840 --> 0:38:18.440 people like Keith Richards just keeps on going. Now when 0:38:18.440 --> 0:38:20.719 he goes, Keith Richard goes in the next two or 0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:24.279 three days, it is the end times. The people who 0:38:24.320 --> 0:38:27.640 say repent now walking around with the sandwich boards, talking 0:38:27.680 --> 0:38:30.520 about the sky falling at all, Hell's breaking loose, you know, 0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:32.960 the Bill Cunninghams of the world, that everything's going to end. 0:38:32.960 --> 0:38:37.400 In short, dude, if Keith Richards goes because we lost Azzie. 0:38:38.040 --> 0:38:41.120 If Keith goes, there might be something here because if 0:38:41.160 --> 0:38:44.560 he can go and Chuck Norris goes, got issues, got 0:38:44.560 --> 0:38:47.600 big issues. I don't know about you and what your 0:38:47.600 --> 0:38:50.840 reaction was to this. I laughed out loud, and actually 0:38:50.920 --> 0:38:53.200 I was having a sip of water at the time, 0:38:53.560 --> 0:38:56.439 and I did a spit take literally spit up water 0:38:56.800 --> 0:38:59.480 all over my car when I heard this, and my 0:38:59.600 --> 0:39:01.880 car needs some water in the inside, So maybe it's 0:39:01.920 --> 0:39:04.120 not that a bad thing. So Trump is at the 0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:07.240 at the White House yesterday or day before or whatever, 0:39:07.640 --> 0:39:10.160 and he has the Japanese PM, they're the Prime Minister, 0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:13.440 and one of the reporters in the pool, I think 0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:17.080 it was a Japanese reporter asked President Trump about not 0:39:17.239 --> 0:39:20.280 informing US allies about military strikes in Iran, and Trump said, 0:39:20.680 --> 0:39:23.360 we didn't tell anyone about it because we wanted a surprise. 0:39:24.080 --> 0:39:28.200 Uh. I added, the do not the president, uh Trump, 0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:30.080 but the Trump. 0:39:29.760 --> 0:39:34.320 Fashion goes, who knows better about surprises than Japan? Okay, 0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:36.400 why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? 0:39:38.560 --> 0:39:39.080 Too soon? 0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:39.960 Uh? 0:39:40.800 --> 0:39:41.760 I thought that was great. 0:39:41.880 --> 0:39:44.800 I mean, he's done a number of things in recent 0:39:44.920 --> 0:39:48.920 memory that caused you to cringe, you know, and go, oh, dude, 0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:50.600 why do you got to shoot yourself in the foot? 0:39:50.640 --> 0:39:52.839 Why do you why do you undermine your own cause 0:39:52.920 --> 0:39:56.200 so much? And yet this one, I'm fine. I thought 0:39:56.239 --> 0:40:00.719 that was funny. I thought it was hysterical myself. Yeah, well, 0:40:00.719 --> 0:40:01.680 what about Pearl Harbor? 0:40:01.719 --> 0:40:05.360 What about that? Uh? I don't know. Too soon? Maybe 0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:06.359 maybe not. I don't know. 0:40:06.520 --> 0:40:09.960 I mean a little bit different, I guess, because but 0:40:09.960 --> 0:40:11.640 it's like we don't tell people because we want to 0:40:11.719 --> 0:40:13.319 kind of keep it secret. We don't want to lose 0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:16.160 the element of surprise. All right, fair enough, However, you're 0:40:16.280 --> 0:40:19.120 you're not building a coalition. So then there's that, Then 0:40:19.160 --> 0:40:26.319 there's that other stuff going on. Here's another reason, in 0:40:26.360 --> 0:40:28.759 my opinion, to stay away from the beach. Have you 0:40:28.840 --> 0:40:32.040 heard about the blue dragon? Okay, so today, by the way, 0:40:32.280 --> 0:40:36.399 in what do we got here? Thirty four minutes from 0:40:36.440 --> 0:40:41.840 right now, mark it will officially be spring, officially be spring. 0:40:44.880 --> 0:40:48.919 And with that becomes well planning your summer vacations, because 0:40:48.960 --> 0:40:51.799 we're in spring break right now, and maybe you're gonna 0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:53.680 go somewhere nice and Sonny. Maybe you're gonna go somewhere 0:40:53.680 --> 0:40:54.839 for spring break nice and sonny. 0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:55.200 I don't know. 0:40:55.239 --> 0:40:56.960 God bless you if you are get out here. Wait 0:40:57.000 --> 0:40:59.719 for another thing to add to the Chuck Norris thing. 0:41:00.239 --> 0:41:05.799 A lines, so something called the blue Dragon, that it's 0:41:05.840 --> 0:41:06.960 on beaches and. 0:41:09.840 --> 0:41:10.600 It's washing up. 0:41:10.640 --> 0:41:12.680 I guess it's a sea slug that's washing up on 0:41:12.719 --> 0:41:16.480 the Texas Gulf Coast in huge numbers. And spring breakers 0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:19.520 are trying to avoid this. The blue dragon lives on 0:41:19.560 --> 0:41:23.200 a diet of Portuguese man o wars and has because 0:41:23.200 --> 0:41:26.120 they eats the Portuguese. The man o wars has its 0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:28.840 own venom. And anyone that gets too close and the 0:41:28.840 --> 0:41:31.600 water in the beach whatever literally can put you in 0:41:31.680 --> 0:41:35.480 a bad way could kill you. And I see this 0:41:35.560 --> 0:41:37.680 and I go wow. Everyone cannot wait to go to 0:41:38.040 --> 0:41:41.800 Florida now, Destin, go to the Carolinas, go to Texas, 0:41:42.160 --> 0:41:44.360 go to the Caribbean. Wherever they're sand to beach. I 0:41:44.360 --> 0:41:45.719 gotta get some sand. I gotta go get down. I 0:41:45.760 --> 0:41:47.920 gotta see the beach. Oh my god, it's been snowing 0:41:47.920 --> 0:41:49.600 for so long, it's been so cold. I gotta get 0:41:49.600 --> 0:41:55.080 some beach time. There's something really really weird in my 0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:59.920 opinion about the love of sand. I mean, I like 0:42:00.160 --> 0:42:01.960 going to where it's Warmhow we just went to Florida. 0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:04.840 The only sand I got into was my ball landing constantly, 0:42:04.880 --> 0:42:07.960 it seemed to every bunker on every golf course I 0:42:07.960 --> 0:42:10.600 played in Florida. But nonetheless, that's a different kind of sand. 0:42:11.680 --> 0:42:13.600 I just I never understood, like I got to go 0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:16.000 to the beach. The beach so you stay in the 0:42:16.000 --> 0:42:18.000 hotel that has a perfectly good pool, and then you 0:42:18.040 --> 0:42:20.640 slept down of the beach with all your gear, your chairs, 0:42:20.680 --> 0:42:22.600 you got your cooler, you got your umbrella. You're gonna 0:42:22.640 --> 0:42:26.719 try and fight for a spot. I just I to me, 0:42:26.800 --> 0:42:29.960 it's like what a pain in the ass, Like I 0:42:30.480 --> 0:42:31.160 hate the beach. 0:42:32.640 --> 0:42:33.080 The sand. 0:42:33.160 --> 0:42:35.279 First of all, once you have sand on you, it 0:42:35.320 --> 0:42:38.520 gets everywhere. I don't care how many of the surf 0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:41.480 side showers that the cold water that comes out, you 0:42:41.640 --> 0:42:43.560 rinse off, you go okay, and then what do you do? 0:42:44.320 --> 0:42:46.279 You walk back in the sand to get where you're going, 0:42:46.320 --> 0:42:48.080 So you still have sand on you. And even if 0:42:48.120 --> 0:42:50.800 you didn't, and we're doing it where there's no sand, 0:42:51.200 --> 0:42:53.959 you somehow still magically have sand in crevices you didn't 0:42:54.000 --> 0:42:54.480 know you had. 0:42:55.320 --> 0:42:56.000 I don't know how that. 0:42:56.080 --> 0:42:59.239 So you get home on vacation and like three months later, 0:42:59.280 --> 0:43:01.759 you'll be taking your shoe off and sand will fallock on. 0:43:01.800 --> 0:43:03.759 How the heck that was three months ago? 0:43:04.120 --> 0:43:06.279 And that just makes you more depressed because you're back 0:43:06.320 --> 0:43:09.800 back in Cincinnati, or you're walking through the sand and okay, 0:43:09.840 --> 0:43:13.960 there's people leave garbage, kids are leave it, you know, 0:43:14.000 --> 0:43:15.759 broken glass, there's bird poop. 0:43:15.840 --> 0:43:17.160 There's sticks. 0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:20.640 That's like it's you know, you'll cut your feet up 0:43:20.680 --> 0:43:23.200 if you're not being careful. Then you have the sea. 0:43:23.719 --> 0:43:27.520 Sea generally doesn't smell all that good. There's now there's 0:43:27.560 --> 0:43:29.200 a few areas the world or the country where the 0:43:29.200 --> 0:43:31.200 sea is amazing. You know that deep, but we don't 0:43:31.239 --> 0:43:33.200 have that deep blue. We got like seaweed and it's gray. 0:43:34.080 --> 0:43:36.680 There's undertoes that'll kill you. You got sharks, you got 0:43:36.680 --> 0:43:37.560 baby shark, did it? 0:43:37.600 --> 0:43:37.880 Did it? 0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:42.239 You got the sea slugs now the blue dragon. You 0:43:42.360 --> 0:43:51.120 got sting rays, you got jellyfish, and I mean, I 0:43:51.560 --> 0:43:54.040 think about it. You go in the ocean. What does 0:43:54.040 --> 0:43:56.799 the ocean try to do? The ocean is just it 0:43:56.840 --> 0:44:00.720 doesn't want you in there. You walk into the tide 0:44:00.719 --> 0:44:03.120 and what happens. It pushes you back. Even the ocean 0:44:03.160 --> 0:44:05.200 is saying, get the f out. We don't watch you. 0:44:05.280 --> 0:44:07.040 I don't watch you in my Get on my water. 0:44:07.560 --> 0:44:10.000 It's pushing you, literally pushing you back to the pool 0:44:10.200 --> 0:44:14.200 with the chlorinated bar. The pool water. The bar is 0:44:14.280 --> 0:44:16.520 right there. You got a nice lounge chair, somebody's breaks, 0:44:16.560 --> 0:44:20.879 you got towels, The bathroom's right there. You're not you're 0:44:20.880 --> 0:44:22.680 not going to the bathroom or you're swimming, and what 0:44:22.760 --> 0:44:25.040 are we doing here? I just I never in my 0:44:25.160 --> 0:44:28.520 life understood. I have never been so confused in my 0:44:28.560 --> 0:44:29.960 life as I'm about beaches. 0:44:30.920 --> 0:44:33.120 I understand. A long time ago, that's all you had. 0:44:34.040 --> 0:44:36.959 You know, when the Sunlight Pool was the Sunlight Pool before, well, 0:44:37.040 --> 0:44:39.680 you know, people protested river bending. People stop going there. 0:44:39.680 --> 0:44:42.160 Why because we've got tons of pools all over the place. Like, 0:44:42.280 --> 0:44:43.759 go to a pool with clean water. It was a 0:44:43.760 --> 0:44:45.560 big deal back in the day because you'd go to 0:44:45.600 --> 0:44:47.799 the Ohio River and that was janky, right you look 0:44:47.840 --> 0:44:49.080 down there and I'd swimming too that. 0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:50.680 But the Sunlight Pool. 0:44:50.719 --> 0:44:57.680 Great pools became pretty cheap, pretty affordable, got them all 0:44:57.680 --> 0:45:00.520 over the place. Every hotel has one. No, no, I 0:45:00.520 --> 0:45:03.279 go a vacation. Care's the beach right there? He had great. 0:45:03.280 --> 0:45:05.439 I'm gonna sit here by the pool. Why because there's 0:45:05.440 --> 0:45:08.240 a swim up bar. They got music, there's no sand. 0:45:08.760 --> 0:45:10.320 I don't have to a brush, sharks don't have to 0:45:10.360 --> 0:45:16.480 brun jellyfish. It's the same sun. Like, what this is better? 0:45:17.040 --> 0:45:19.880 This is better here. I'm here where it's better, and 0:45:19.920 --> 0:45:22.800 everyone's down by the beach. May I'm sitting by the pool. 0:45:24.800 --> 0:45:26.759 I will die on that mountain. I will die on 0:45:26.800 --> 0:45:30.480 that hill that the beach sucks. The beach is stupid. Now, 0:45:30.520 --> 0:45:35.960 if you want a jet ski or surf or wind surf, sure, absolutely, 0:45:36.000 --> 0:45:38.680 one hundred percent, I'm down with that. But if you're not, 0:45:38.760 --> 0:45:40.719 there's really no reason to go to the beach because 0:45:40.719 --> 0:45:42.399 you gotta dres. On top of that, you gotta drag 0:45:42.440 --> 0:45:44.960 everything you need there. If you're you're a hotel with 0:45:45.000 --> 0:45:48.640 a pool, everything you have is they'll bring it to you. 0:45:49.280 --> 0:45:51.080 The whole point of vacation is too much dam work 0:45:51.120 --> 0:45:53.600 to go to the beach. Too much dam work. Now 0:45:53.640 --> 0:45:55.640 if you go into a place that doesn't have the hotel, 0:45:55.680 --> 0:45:57.840 I'm thinking of like nice and warm. You know, we 0:45:58.080 --> 0:45:59.680 stayed in the house years and years ago, and the 0:45:59.719 --> 0:46:01.759 kids are young to the family trip to the outer 0:46:01.800 --> 0:46:04.080 Banks and it was lovely and the beach was about 0:46:04.120 --> 0:46:06.000 a block away. But again you had to get a 0:46:06.040 --> 0:46:07.960 wagon and drag everything down there. And it's like it's 0:46:08.160 --> 0:46:09.440 a lot of work to go to the beach and 0:46:09.440 --> 0:46:11.080 then stand there and go, well, the water's too cold. 0:46:11.800 --> 0:46:14.279 Got a perfect good pool at the house, let's use that. 0:46:14.840 --> 0:46:20.000 Let's go there. Blue dragon. Another reason Mother Nature and 0:46:20.080 --> 0:46:23.840 God are telling you stay the hell out of the ocean. 0:46:24.160 --> 0:46:27.680 Stay out of the ocean. We've got march madness today. 0:46:27.680 --> 0:46:30.080 I want to give a plug into my friends and 0:46:30.160 --> 0:46:34.040 my buddy John Strausser and the Miami University Alumni people, 0:46:34.080 --> 0:46:36.719 the association. They're getting at their meeting today. By the way, 0:46:36.800 --> 0:46:39.719 for a UM grad. I'm sorry, m you grad, not UM, 0:46:40.360 --> 0:46:44.560 that'd be Michigan, Miami University, you are. They're doing a 0:46:44.920 --> 0:46:47.480 watch part day at Holy Girl Banks, and of course 0:46:47.520 --> 0:46:50.600 we'll be there Thursday for opening Day twenty twenty six. 0:46:52.000 --> 0:46:52.759 What a perfect day. 0:46:52.800 --> 0:46:55.680 The weather is going to be absolutely spectacular, I believe 0:46:55.680 --> 0:46:58.080 today it looks like a few clouds right now, cloudy skies, 0:46:58.160 --> 0:47:01.160 maybe a very slight storm chains around six o'clock. But 0:47:01.520 --> 0:47:04.080 what they call is a marginal risk, and so far 0:47:04.080 --> 0:47:06.160 it looks like it might miss the tri State. But again, 0:47:06.200 --> 0:47:08.239 it's gonna go up to seventy three today. They're gonna 0:47:08.239 --> 0:47:09.840 have the doors open. Go to a place where you 0:47:09.840 --> 0:47:14.000 can open the doors and watch college basketball. Miami tips 0:47:14.040 --> 0:47:16.880 off I think four to twenty five against number six Tennessee, 0:47:18.160 --> 0:47:21.359 and people will be drinking their beers today for sure, 0:47:21.360 --> 0:47:22.759 a lot of beer will becomes a lot of elk 0:47:22.800 --> 0:47:24.839 will be consumed. And I was thinking about that because 0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:27.880 I saw I don't know what made me think of this, 0:47:27.920 --> 0:47:29.319 and I had to one of the du to those 0:47:29.360 --> 0:47:32.440 deep dives or something that's totally inconsequential, which is why 0:47:32.480 --> 0:47:35.600 I talk about this on Friday morning. What happened to 0:47:35.760 --> 0:47:40.040 these squat beer bottle? Remember stubbies, like the little beer 0:47:40.040 --> 0:47:42.239 I'm not talking little kings where it's a little or 0:47:42.320 --> 0:47:44.759 even the Corona Rita is the little six ounce. I'm 0:47:44.760 --> 0:47:48.320 talking about stubby beer balls, a little brown short beer bottles, 0:47:48.880 --> 0:47:51.960 the stubby. What happened to those? I think Red Stripe 0:47:52.000 --> 0:47:55.400 is the only brand that still does the stubbies, and 0:47:55.440 --> 0:47:59.480 that fell out of favor. Not that long ago. 0:48:00.000 --> 0:48:00.320 They used to. 0:48:00.400 --> 0:48:02.000 When I was a kid, My old man did get that, 0:48:02.400 --> 0:48:04.520 you know, whatever it was he'd drag over from Cana. 0:48:04.640 --> 0:48:06.759 They go to Canada, get the Canadian beer because it 0:48:06.800 --> 0:48:08.879 was the only place you get to go there, bring 0:48:08.920 --> 0:48:12.399 it back and everything was on a stubby, and now 0:48:12.400 --> 0:48:16.680 everything's a long neck. And so I started thinking about this. 0:48:16.880 --> 0:48:18.480 These are things that keep me awake at night. By 0:48:18.480 --> 0:48:20.960 the way, I know they have medicine for people like me, 0:48:21.000 --> 0:48:26.040 but I refuse. So what happened was the long neck 0:48:26.080 --> 0:48:29.960 bottle became the industry standard because it is more efficient 0:48:30.239 --> 0:48:33.960 to ship into store. The reason why they got rid 0:48:34.000 --> 0:48:36.400 of the stubby is because you can pack more bottles 0:48:36.400 --> 0:48:39.080 on a pallette if you do the long necks, because 0:48:39.120 --> 0:48:41.480 stubbies are wider and they waste more space in the cases, 0:48:41.480 --> 0:48:42.240 none on the shelves. 0:48:42.480 --> 0:48:43.279 I don't know if I taught. 0:48:43.440 --> 0:48:45.360 I mean, who am I to argue with the science 0:48:45.400 --> 0:48:50.000 of the industry, But it's just a height thing, and 0:48:50.080 --> 0:48:52.680 I guess you could stack more stubby containers on a 0:48:52.719 --> 0:48:57.280 palette than you could long necks. But largely they came about. 0:48:57.360 --> 0:48:59.960 These stubbies were popular in part because they were thin 0:49:00.320 --> 0:49:03.360 and durable. So back in the day we used to 0:49:03.440 --> 0:49:06.239 return them for money. I don't vaguely remember that, but 0:49:07.080 --> 0:49:08.440 you get a bottle, you turn it back. In some 0:49:08.440 --> 0:49:10.279 states I think still do that and you get I 0:49:10.320 --> 0:49:12.480 don't know, maybe a penny or five cents or a 0:49:12.520 --> 0:49:15.000 dime or whatever for every bottle you'd return it. They'd 0:49:15.040 --> 0:49:17.279 recycle it, they'd wash it, they'd would fill it as 0:49:17.320 --> 0:49:19.480 many times as possible, and they tended to be because 0:49:19.480 --> 0:49:21.600 they're shorter, they didn't break as much as the long necks, 0:49:22.880 --> 0:49:26.080 and so they got rid of this. I started like 0:49:26.080 --> 0:49:30.160 in the nineteen seventies and eighties, I think is when 0:49:30.160 --> 0:49:32.680 it went. And then it just became the one way package, 0:49:32.680 --> 0:49:35.319 and cansby became bigger because they're easier to open, and 0:49:35.360 --> 0:49:38.040 they became from ten to aluminum, and so the long 0:49:38.080 --> 0:49:40.640 neck came to be associated with premium branding, which is 0:49:40.760 --> 0:49:43.640 I think the really interesting part about this is for 0:49:43.680 --> 0:49:46.400 some reason, the mindset was that the long neck fits 0:49:46.400 --> 0:49:48.120 better in your hand. I think it does because you 0:49:48.160 --> 0:49:51.239 hold the neck and it keeps the beer cold. And 0:49:51.320 --> 0:49:53.720 it just became like the I don't know, the Jello 0:49:53.920 --> 0:49:56.040 or the Kleenex for containers to put beer in. It 0:49:56.280 --> 0:49:59.880 just became shorthand for beer and advertising. And so Stubby's 0:50:00.160 --> 0:50:02.759 to feel outdated in a little down market. And then 0:50:02.760 --> 0:50:05.560 when craft burning blow up, they leaned heavily in the 0:50:05.600 --> 0:50:11.120 long neck because people saw that as more teasonal and 0:50:11.280 --> 0:50:13.640 you cans have made a comeback in craft for freshness 0:50:13.680 --> 0:50:16.200 and portability, but the Stubby never really rolled that wave. 0:50:16.239 --> 0:50:17.640 And anything from. 0:50:17.520 --> 0:50:21.040 Cooler dars, refrigerator doors, vending machine, six pack carries all 0:50:21.040 --> 0:50:24.880 engineered around the long neck standard, so once that infrastructure 0:50:24.920 --> 0:50:27.960 is built out, they weren't going to go back. Now 0:50:27.960 --> 0:50:30.000 there are some markets too, and Canada, so you can 0:50:30.000 --> 0:50:33.400 still find some stubbies Australia and Europe at large outside 0:50:33.400 --> 0:50:34.880 of red stripe. That's about it. So it's more of 0:50:34.880 --> 0:50:37.400 a nostalge item today. And now you know, when you're 0:50:37.440 --> 0:50:41.520 drinking your beer today watching basketball, why you're drinking it 0:50:41.560 --> 0:50:45.759 out of long neck bottle and not a stubby. And 0:50:45.800 --> 0:50:47.360 now I think the little Kings they still have the 0:50:47.360 --> 0:50:50.239 little the minis. You also had the I mentioned the 0:50:50.239 --> 0:50:52.480 Corona Rita's the little tiny I think, what are they? 0:50:52.560 --> 0:50:53.880 Eight ounces or six ounces? 0:50:55.840 --> 0:50:56.000 Man? 0:50:56.040 --> 0:50:57.840 Now you know you can you get oil cans and 0:50:57.880 --> 0:50:58.439 everything else. 0:50:58.520 --> 0:51:01.319 But now you know the history of the long neck 0:51:01.360 --> 0:51:04.080 bottle and why why the stubby went away and why 0:51:04.120 --> 0:51:07.960 the long neck stays? Hey, real quick, there is one 0:51:08.000 --> 0:51:09.920 around and I've Phil caught it right away. Phil in 0:51:09.960 --> 0:51:11.200 Cincinnati on the Scott Fold Show. 0:51:11.200 --> 0:51:11.520 What's up? 0:51:12.920 --> 0:51:15.800 Yeah, course banquet comes. 0:51:15.600 --> 0:51:18.160 In a stubbies, Yes, sir, they held on to that. 0:51:18.239 --> 0:51:20.680 I think it's because the course banquet beer is a 0:51:21.120 --> 0:51:22.759 such a throwback to the old days. 0:51:22.760 --> 0:51:24.040 That it fits their nostalgia. 0:51:27.160 --> 0:51:29.799 That's all I needed, all right, appreciate you, thanks so much. Yeah, 0:51:29.800 --> 0:51:32.840 I forgot about that. The cores banquet beer in the 0:51:32.880 --> 0:51:35.640 stubby I you skill stubby cores, but you know the 0:51:35.640 --> 0:51:38.360 banquet beer. And I hear Sam Elliot's with the banquet beer. 0:51:40.200 --> 0:51:43.640 That's a really bad Sam Elliott by the way, like 0:51:43.680 --> 0:51:47.920 Sam Ellen who huffed helium and also has throat congestion. 0:51:48.160 --> 0:51:49.120 That's what that sounded like. 0:51:49.560 --> 0:51:51.680 Uh yeah, but they goes back to the eighteen hundred, 0:51:51.800 --> 0:51:53.480 so you know that whole cowboy I mean the old 0:51:53.480 --> 0:51:54.200 old school ones. 0:51:54.600 --> 0:51:54.919 Of course. 0:51:54.920 --> 0:51:56.200 On the other hand, you want to go way back. 0:51:56.200 --> 0:51:57.960 Hold you don't see like the big jug like back 0:51:58.000 --> 0:51:59.560 in the back in the day, the fact that you 0:51:59.640 --> 0:52:01.720 bring your you'd send your kid down to the local 0:52:01.960 --> 0:52:05.839 pub to get draft beer in a bucket literally as 0:52:05.880 --> 0:52:08.319 a bucket a bit, not a growler, no, no, I'm 0:52:08.360 --> 0:52:11.919 talking about like literally a pale Back in the day, 0:52:12.000 --> 0:52:14.040 they would the kid would go down with some money 0:52:14.080 --> 0:52:15.920 and go to the local bar and they take draft 0:52:15.920 --> 0:52:19.640 beer and fill a tin bucket up with beer. Now 0:52:19.680 --> 0:52:21.880 I could see why that didn't stay, why that didn't 0:52:21.880 --> 0:52:25.960 really catch on. There may be some problems there with contamination, spillage, 0:52:26.560 --> 0:52:27.600 dog licking out of it. 0:52:27.840 --> 0:52:30.320 You know, I just probably do want a solid container. 0:52:30.360 --> 0:52:30.799 That's all. 0:52:31.320 --> 0:52:33.279 We got a news update on the way Momentarily, I 0:52:33.360 --> 0:52:35.839 mentioned that forecast is looking great and pretty much dry 0:52:35.880 --> 0:52:38.600 through most of the day. On Sunday, temperatures will drop 0:52:38.600 --> 0:52:40.520 back down. But opening day, I can tell you this 0:52:40.560 --> 0:52:43.040 at the Holy Girl Banks on Thursday at nine am, 0:52:43.520 --> 0:52:46.200 when I'll be kicking things off down there.

Tend to noon yesterday, It's always one of 0:54:39.480 --> 0:54:41.040 the funnest days of the year. Watched a little bit 0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:44.320 of the North Carolina game and the Cardi b concert 0:54:44.440 --> 0:54:47.160 was next door. Wasn't you want to talk about seeing 0:54:47.160 --> 0:54:47.800 some fits? 0:54:48.640 --> 0:54:48.960 It was? 0:54:49.160 --> 0:54:52.239 It was fun like the people watching was elite at 0:54:52.239 --> 0:54:54.600 the Grail last night and it was the windows doors open. 0:54:54.840 --> 0:54:58.360 I was like, yeah, it was like seventy degrees. It's 0:54:58.440 --> 0:54:59.919 a great day to stay inside watch bass. 0:55:00.120 --> 0:55:00.359 Yeah. 0:55:00.360 --> 0:55:02.759 And then today, I mean, you're gonna have what Kentucky's 0:55:02.760 --> 0:55:05.840 at noon and then Miami at four, You're gonna have 0:55:05.880 --> 0:55:07.439 a It's gonna be a good day for those guys. 0:55:07.520 --> 0:55:08.359 I like it a lot. 0:55:08.400 --> 0:55:11.120 All right, let's begin with that with college basketball, and 0:55:11.800 --> 0:55:14.080 I think the biggest story come out of college basketball 0:55:14.160 --> 0:55:16.840 is what does it deal with Charles Barkley suit Like 0:55:16.880 --> 0:55:19.720 he lost all that weight and still has the fat 0:55:19.760 --> 0:55:21.719 man suit. Like he looks like a kid wearing his 0:55:21.800 --> 0:55:22.520 dad's jacket. 0:55:22.520 --> 0:55:25.520 Your thoughts, Yeah, the first thing I thought of was 0:55:25.600 --> 0:55:29.160 the the old coach of the New York Giants, Ben mcadoon. Yeah, 0:55:29.520 --> 0:55:33.640 he had lost hundreds of pounds and never bought a 0:55:33.640 --> 0:55:37.439 new suit. So he gets introduced as the new head 0:55:37.440 --> 0:55:40.080 coach of the New York Giants and it is twice 0:55:40.120 --> 0:55:43.839 as big as the suit that Charles is wearing. And 0:55:43.920 --> 0:55:47.320 so I don't know. I know how Charles was unprepared 0:55:47.360 --> 0:55:49.520 for this. And he's on TV every day. Yeah, and 0:55:49.560 --> 0:55:52.280 I've seen the commercials. He's like, yeah, losing weight. Yeah, 0:55:52.320 --> 0:55:55.880 So I don't know why, unless it's just he's stubborn 0:55:55.920 --> 0:55:59.839 about his He's just stubborn about his suits. I don't 0:55:59.840 --> 0:56:02.440 know what's going on, sure, but I know that yesterday 0:56:02.560 --> 0:56:04.480 was a particularly bad look for true. 0:56:04.239 --> 0:56:05.840 It was pretty bad. So I'm glad we got that 0:56:06.000 --> 0:56:08.000 out of the way. So let's talk to yesterday. 0:56:08.040 --> 0:56:08.239 Big. 0:56:08.440 --> 0:56:10.200 I wish I had that problem. Yeah. 0:56:10.280 --> 0:56:14.759 I know a lot of upsets though, starting with I mean, 0:56:15.040 --> 0:56:17.640 I'm look at the games going on. That VCU game was. 0:56:17.760 --> 0:56:20.000 It was the most ridiculous comeback. I watched like the 0:56:20.080 --> 0:56:22.600 last ten minutes of it. That was an awesome game 0:56:22.600 --> 0:56:24.319 of your buck, guys, let me down. I had not 0:56:24.440 --> 0:56:26.279 a rarely bet on the Buckeyes, but I did this time, 0:56:26.320 --> 0:56:27.400 and they screwed me thoughts. 0:56:27.560 --> 0:56:30.319 Yeah, I knew better than to bet on to pick them, 0:56:30.320 --> 0:56:32.200 but I did it anyways because I drank the kool 0:56:32.239 --> 0:56:33.640 aid of the way that they played the last two 0:56:33.680 --> 0:56:36.560 weeks of the regular season, and by god, they almost 0:56:36.640 --> 0:56:39.760 had another comeback just like that VCU comeback almost fifteen 0:56:39.840 --> 0:56:41.319 points and you get the ball in the hands of 0:56:41.320 --> 0:56:45.480 Bruce Thornton. But I don't understand with four seconds left 0:56:46.200 --> 0:56:48.279 you have to go ninety feet to get to the 0:56:48.360 --> 0:56:51.240 rim and you pass the ball backwards and then settle 0:56:51.320 --> 0:56:54.520 for a half court heave. It was a terrible final 0:56:54.560 --> 0:56:58.399 possession for Ohio State. A difficult end to that because 0:56:58.400 --> 0:57:00.600 it felt like they, you know, had really gone on 0:57:00.600 --> 0:57:02.440 a run the last couple of weeks. Bruce Thorton, that 0:57:02.480 --> 0:57:04.560 whole story was really cool. Is the first time he 0:57:04.600 --> 0:57:07.080 gets to play in the tournament and that ends like that. 0:57:07.080 --> 0:57:07.839 That's a tough one. 0:57:07.960 --> 0:57:11.759 Yeah, Texas, and I mean eleven step seeing the six 0:57:11.880 --> 0:57:12.719 is not that big a deal. 0:57:12.760 --> 0:57:14.319 But Texas not gonna off BYU. 0:57:14.719 --> 0:57:17.400 Well, I mean aj Devance the best player in the country. 0:57:17.400 --> 0:57:18.680 A lot of people think. I mean, I thought it 0:57:18.680 --> 0:57:21.400 was funny. Sean Murty five points man, Sean Miller was 0:57:21.440 --> 0:57:23.760 asked last night, like, how do you stop him? He's 0:57:23.800 --> 0:57:26.240 like you can't, Like we don't, Like, we just we 0:57:26.320 --> 0:57:28.160 got to do other stuff because we're not going to 0:57:28.200 --> 0:57:28.919 stop that guy. 0:57:29.080 --> 0:57:32.240 How often this happen where dude gets half of your points? 0:57:32.320 --> 0:57:34.480 Yeah, I mean he's he's a monster. And if you 0:57:34.520 --> 0:57:37.280 watch BYU at all this year, you've seen it. I 0:57:37.320 --> 0:57:39.040 mean that dude can just flat out fill it up. 0:57:39.080 --> 0:57:41.280 And I thought b YU was a pretty trendy pick 0:57:41.360 --> 0:57:44.520 because of that going into the next rounds. 0:57:44.560 --> 0:57:46.840 But I'll tell you what, Sean Miller, the dude can coach. 0:57:46.880 --> 0:57:50.120 All right, So let's move on today. Sixteen more games. 0:57:50.160 --> 0:57:52.960 Of course, the one we're all kind of focused on 0:57:53.040 --> 0:57:56.760 right now is Miami and Tennessee. I got them moving 0:57:56.800 --> 0:57:58.920 on to the next round simply because I think I'm 0:57:58.920 --> 0:58:00.680 a homer a little bit too. A love the story, 0:58:00.720 --> 0:58:03.120 I love it, but also Tennessee hasn't been very good 0:58:03.120 --> 0:58:05.439 down the stretch, lost for their last six, so I'm 0:58:05.440 --> 0:58:06.600 hoping Miami pulls up. 0:58:06.680 --> 0:58:07.400 I hope they do too. 0:58:07.480 --> 0:58:10.400 I mean, I picked Tennessee and nobody cares about my bracket, 0:58:10.400 --> 0:58:13.240 but I think most people will have picked Tennessee just 0:58:13.280 --> 0:58:16.240 because they're an SEC team, and they've had a lot 0:58:16.280 --> 0:58:18.360 of different tests over the course of the season. I 0:58:18.360 --> 0:58:21.280 do think there's something to Miami, though. You've got that 0:58:21.360 --> 0:58:23.560 win out of the way, you got the first four win, 0:58:23.720 --> 0:58:27.240 you won your tournament game, you let it rip, and 0:58:27.560 --> 0:58:30.160 you know what, at this point, let it all hang out. 0:58:30.400 --> 0:58:32.720 And Miami is going to have a chance to do 0:58:32.800 --> 0:58:35.520 that against Tennessee. And you know the other part too, 0:58:35.560 --> 0:58:38.640 is I feel like Travis Steele did a great job 0:58:38.960 --> 0:58:42.640 of being prepared for anything that SMU was going to 0:58:42.720 --> 0:58:45.640 throw at them. If they went zone, they spread them out, 0:58:45.680 --> 0:58:47.960 they attacked the middle of the floor, they continued to 0:58:48.000 --> 0:58:51.240 create space for three point shots, they went backdoor off 0:58:51.240 --> 0:58:54.280 of a time out. They were so well prepared to 0:58:54.400 --> 0:58:57.600 beat you with some x's and o's. Because they don't 0:58:57.600 --> 0:58:59.760 have the most athletic players, they don't have the biggest 0:58:59.760 --> 0:59:02.880 player on the floor, but they've used the spacing of 0:59:02.880 --> 0:59:05.160 the floor, the pace that they play with the threat 0:59:05.200 --> 0:59:07.560 of the three ball to create a lot of different 0:59:07.600 --> 0:59:09.520 opportunities on offense. And that's why they're one of the 0:59:09.560 --> 0:59:12.440 best offensive teams in the country. So if you do 0:59:12.600 --> 0:59:14.600 execute at that level and you have a little bit 0:59:14.640 --> 0:59:17.360 of a screw it, let it all hang out type 0:59:17.400 --> 0:59:18.200 of mentality. 0:59:18.240 --> 0:59:19.439 You absolutely can win. 0:59:19.400 --> 0:59:22.120 That play loose, right, Yeah, that's okay, it's well over stated, 0:59:22.160 --> 0:59:24.560 but it's so true. Yeah, it's probably loose and it's up. 0:59:24.760 --> 0:59:26.840 It honestly does come down to that of like, who's 0:59:26.880 --> 0:59:28.640 gonna puck her up? Now that we're into the second 0:59:28.720 --> 0:59:30.560 round or the first round, however you describe of the 0:59:30.640 --> 0:59:31.760 NCAA trying to. 0:59:31.760 --> 0:59:33.480 See I mean, the pressure's on them. It's like Miami 0:59:33.560 --> 0:59:35.000 is like, hey man, we're playing with house money, No 0:59:35.040 --> 0:59:36.120 one I expect us to be here. 0:59:36.240 --> 0:59:38.160 So I thought there was one or two players for 0:59:38.280 --> 0:59:41.520 Miami who puckered up in that game against SMU. But 0:59:41.600 --> 0:59:44.280 now hopefully, you know, you move on from that and 0:59:44.680 --> 0:59:46.600 hopefully some Tennessee players do pucker up. 0:59:46.640 --> 0:59:49.880 Speaking of puckering up, what about UK? You see puckering 0:59:49.920 --> 0:59:52.320 Santa Clair is like it's yeah and a rite off. 0:59:52.400 --> 0:59:52.640 Yeah. 0:59:52.680 --> 0:59:55.280 I don't think Kentucky fans feel great about this game, 0:59:55.520 --> 0:59:57.400 and it's one of those sexy picks, that ten to 0:59:57.480 --> 1:00:00.760 seven matchup with Santa Clara upsetting Entucky. I just heard 1:00:00.800 --> 1:00:04.280 Adam Lefgo, the studio host at CBS, say he thinks 1:00:04.280 --> 1:00:06.800 Santa Clara is going to win this game. Kentucky has 1:00:06.840 --> 1:00:09.560 just been up and down all season long. You don't 1:00:09.560 --> 1:00:12.560 know what to expect from them at any point, and 1:00:12.640 --> 1:00:15.760 so for that reason, I'm going to be picking Kentucky 1:00:16.320 --> 1:00:17.960 to uh win a close one. 1:00:18.040 --> 1:00:19.280 But it's not going to be easy. 1:00:19.440 --> 1:00:23.120 Okay, can we pause for just a second, something very important? 1:00:23.160 --> 1:00:25.360 Just sure we have breaking news here on seven hundred 1:00:25.440 --> 1:00:29.000 word in three two one. 1:00:30.080 --> 1:00:31.480 You know what? You know what it is right now? 1:00:32.320 --> 1:00:35.440 Spring it's officially spring. Just happened. Just happened? 1:00:35.520 --> 1:00:40.720 Wow, equinox, Yay, here comes the ball?

That's awesome. It feels like spring. 1:00:50.600 --> 1:00:53.600 It does, does it? There we go wonderful? All right? 1:00:54.120 --> 1:00:55.840 I should have played all lang yin or something and 1:00:56.800 --> 1:00:58.320 the downtown, but I'm not very prepared. 1:00:58.360 --> 1:00:58.800 On Friday. 1:00:58.920 --> 1:01:01.480 Yeah, I like to do that aud Lane sign at 1:01:01.480 --> 1:01:04.080 the Happy New Year. The NFL league year starts like 1:01:04.120 --> 1:01:05.880 a four o'clock on a Wednesday. 1:01:05.680 --> 1:01:07.040 Right, we should do that opening day? 1:01:07.200 --> 1:01:08.000 Yeah? We should. 1:01:08.200 --> 1:01:10.360 I'd start that at nine o'clock. We got too many 1:01:10.360 --> 1:01:10.880 good ideas. 1:01:10.960 --> 1:01:14.200 Yeah, too many? Yeah, any other things going on? Yeah, 1:01:14.240 --> 1:01:18.920 I only got thirty seconds. All right, So games today 1:01:19.440 --> 1:01:23.600 Villanova Utah, Well we getting back in this. We mentioned 1:01:23.760 --> 1:01:26.640 Kentucky of course in Santa Clair. Villanova and Utah STATEA 1:01:26.680 --> 1:01:28.360 eight eight nine are always great matchups. 1:01:28.520 --> 1:01:30.720 Yeah, they are. It's always good. You saw it yesterday. 1:01:30.720 --> 1:01:33.480 The Ohio State TCU game was really good. It's it's 1:01:33.600 --> 1:01:37.080 those teams are the most closely matched. I guess, and 1:01:37.120 --> 1:01:39.640 I won the week one. Yeah, so I'm excited. Yeah, 1:01:39.680 --> 1:01:40.600 it's gonna be a good day. 1:01:40.640 --> 1:01:42.880 So we start at a new first game as a 1:01:42.920 --> 1:01:46.040 twelve fifteen Kentucky matchup. You've got a couple more in there, 1:01:46.080 --> 1:01:48.240 and then you've got Miami at four twenty five and 1:01:48.560 --> 1:01:51.840 Tennessee and then games all weekends up. Kentucky of course 1:01:52.000 --> 1:01:54.880 can be heard on ESPN fifteen thirty and Austin and 1:01:54.960 --> 1:01:58.640 Tony will not All right, let's pivot from college basketball. 1:01:58.640 --> 1:02:01.080 I know that seems like it's a you know, we 1:02:01.200 --> 1:02:02.600 spent a lot of time talking about it. 1:02:02.920 --> 1:02:03.240 I will. 1:02:03.360 --> 1:02:06.560 Can we say this about college basketball? Good for U see, 1:02:06.840 --> 1:02:08.800 good for Wes Miller to get out of that deal 1:02:08.880 --> 1:02:11.080 yesterday for three million bucks that's what I was gonna 1:02:11.080 --> 1:02:13.120 bring up right now. I mean, Mill, that's very good. 1:02:13.320 --> 1:02:16.280 That is a very good deal. Number one, Wes gets 1:02:16.280 --> 1:02:18.760 it all right now, good for him, and number two, 1:02:18.920 --> 1:02:21.920 Cincinnati saves a bunch of money. You can clarify their 1:02:21.960 --> 1:02:24.560 whole thing with what's probably gonna be Jared Calhoun as 1:02:24.600 --> 1:02:26.800 their next head coach. He plays later today his team 1:02:26.840 --> 1:02:30.800 you toss eight. Great job. John Cunningham has taken a 1:02:30.800 --> 1:02:33.640 lot of arrows lately, and he's deserved every single one 1:02:33.680 --> 1:02:35.680 of them. But he did a good job of getting 1:02:35.760 --> 1:02:37.800 uc out of that contract and saving them some money. 1:02:37.880 --> 1:02:40.560 Yeah, congrats to Wes. Miller too jumped into I guess 1:02:40.560 --> 1:02:42.720 he's gonna They're gonna fire Jack Krumle. 1:02:42.760 --> 1:02:44.480 He's gonna beet a news news director. Is that right? 1:02:44.760 --> 1:02:44.960 Yes? 1:02:45.000 --> 1:02:47.920 Wow, I did not know this one. I'm curious to 1:02:47.920 --> 1:02:52.160 see how well he works get along with Brian Combs 1:02:52.200 --> 1:02:56.760 and Matt Reith. Good luck with that. Yeah, I mean, 1:02:56.840 --> 1:02:59.000 but you know the thing is, John Cunney says the 1:02:59.040 --> 1:03:00.680 right things. But because that, I'm excited about the next 1:03:00.760 --> 1:03:01.880 chapter of Cincinnati basketball. 1:03:01.920 --> 1:03:02.560 Do they even know what. 1:03:02.520 --> 1:03:03.960 The next chapter of Cincinnati basketball? 1:03:04.000 --> 1:03:07.280 Yes, they did. It's Jared Calhoun. Okay, Yeah, that's that's 1:03:07.280 --> 1:03:07.960 who it's gonna be. 1:03:08.000 --> 1:03:10.280 That's it. That's a lock. That's a lock. Let's talk 1:03:10.320 --> 1:03:12.480 Red's baseball. We're in the home stretch right now. We 1:03:12.600 --> 1:03:14.800 are one week from yesterday, Austin will beat the Holy 1:03:14.800 --> 1:03:17.000 Girl Banks me and Mo. I believe Mo's with me 1:03:17.040 --> 1:03:19.160 again like he is every year, starting at nine o'clock 1:03:19.280 --> 1:03:20.680 for Red's opening days. 1:03:21.120 --> 1:03:23.280 Mo is just staying down there. I think I think 1:03:23.280 --> 1:03:24.080 he stayed the night. 1:03:23.960 --> 1:03:26.400 At the rail more time at a bar than Moegar. 1:03:26.560 --> 1:03:29.240 No, absolutely not. I think he stayed the night there 1:03:29.400 --> 1:03:31.720 last night. And we'll just be there from now until 1:03:31.720 --> 1:03:34.560 opening that barfly. Yeah, he really is, and thirty years 1:03:34.600 --> 1:03:36.280 are going to come back and walk in the Holy Girl. 1:03:36.440 --> 1:03:38.840 I remember this place. Is this old man sitting at 1:03:38.840 --> 1:03:41.960 the just smoking cigarettes? Even though you remember, do you 1:03:41.960 --> 1:03:44.240 remember Joe Nusall used to go to the same bob 1:03:44.280 --> 1:03:44.920 Evans every day? 1:03:45.000 --> 1:03:47.560 Yeah, that's in the same chair. They'll say, most chair. 1:03:48.400 --> 1:03:50.479 If I'm not mistaken, did the Reds Hall of Fame 1:03:50.560 --> 1:03:52.960 not get that chair from Bob Evans? And there's like 1:03:53.000 --> 1:03:56.360 a little plate plaque on it. They said, Joe Nuxall's 1:03:56.440 --> 1:03:59.760 chair They're can do that with Moe's barstool. Yeah, and 1:03:59.800 --> 1:04:01.920 the I heard Hall of Fame here, Yeah, exactly, they're 1:04:01.960 --> 1:04:02.800 going to do that too. 1:04:03.880 --> 1:04:04.240 All right. 1:04:04.280 --> 1:04:06.439 So the Reds were off yesterday. They had a little 1:04:06.440 --> 1:04:09.080 prospect action going on. They play the clubs at My 1:04:09.160 --> 1:04:11.640 Park Sloan and My Park Sloan Park. 1:04:12.920 --> 1:04:13.200 Today. 1:04:13.240 --> 1:04:15.320 I believe Brandon Williamson's going to get the start there 1:04:15.400 --> 1:04:18.919 down the stretch. Now, we're starting to get blisters repeering again. 1:04:18.960 --> 1:04:21.800 We got elbow chips and everything looked like, wow, we 1:04:22.000 --> 1:04:24.680 just got We've got this boundiful feast of pitching right now, 1:04:24.720 --> 1:04:26.280 and it's starting to get a little thinner than it 1:04:26.360 --> 1:04:27.760 was just a week ago. 1:04:28.000 --> 1:04:30.400 Yeah, they made it seem like the blister that was 1:04:30.440 --> 1:04:35.200 on Brady Singer's throwing finger or throwing hand was minor 1:04:35.240 --> 1:04:37.440 and precautionary, and they saw it developing, they said it 1:04:37.440 --> 1:04:39.880 didn't pop like for all those reasons, they feel pretty 1:04:39.880 --> 1:04:42.280 good about getting that, you know, ready to go for 1:04:42.560 --> 1:04:44.520 nine days from now when he's going to pitch. 1:04:46.240 --> 1:04:47.160 The Hunter Green thing. 1:04:47.520 --> 1:04:49.720 I give Hunter a lot of credit for, you know, 1:04:49.800 --> 1:04:51.840 coming back to Arizona and meeting with the reporters and 1:04:51.880 --> 1:04:56.240 explaining what happened and being more transparent about transparent about 1:04:56.240 --> 1:04:58.040 all that. He showed him his elbow and showed his 1:04:58.120 --> 1:04:59.919 range of motion, and he said he's feeling good about 1:05:00.080 --> 1:05:03.080 the timeline, so that's all good, and confirms that there 1:05:03.200 --> 1:05:05.880 was no ligament damage to his UCO and that's obviously 1:05:05.960 --> 1:05:06.800 the scariest part. 1:05:07.120 --> 1:05:08.240 He's gonna be out for a while. 1:05:08.320 --> 1:05:11.440 But the Reds have some good young pitchers man Chase Burns, 1:05:11.480 --> 1:05:13.840 Reht Louder, Brandon Williamson. They're all gonna make the team. 1:05:13.880 --> 1:05:16.240 The Reds are gonna do this kind of strange condensed 1:05:16.440 --> 1:05:20.120 six man rotation where one guy's gonna piggyback off the 1:05:20.160 --> 1:05:22.800 other guy, and because of the off days that they 1:05:22.800 --> 1:05:25.040 have early in the season in the way that the 1:05:25.080 --> 1:05:27.040 schedule plays out, I think they're gonna do that for 1:05:27.080 --> 1:05:29.560 the first couple of weeks and see what happens and 1:05:29.600 --> 1:05:32.560 try to save their bullpen a little bit and get 1:05:32.560 --> 1:05:36.680 the best guys available, best guys in the organization pitching 1:05:36.840 --> 1:05:39.000 for that first couple of weeks to start the year, 1:05:39.000 --> 1:05:41.240 and then they'll make some adjustments as things go on there. 1:05:41.280 --> 1:05:44.040 But I think it's an exciting time for those young 1:05:44.080 --> 1:05:46.360 pitchers to have Louder Williamson, who hasn't pitched in like 1:05:46.440 --> 1:05:49.320 two years. Yep, and Chase Burns continuing to come up. 1:05:49.360 --> 1:05:49.880 It's a good thing. 1:05:49.960 --> 1:05:50.240 Okay. 1:05:50.280 --> 1:05:51.680 With the Chase Burns thing, he was kind of slowed 1:05:51.680 --> 1:05:54.240 down early on, had that range of motion issue. 1:05:54.280 --> 1:05:55.160 Is that still concern? 1:05:55.600 --> 1:05:58.480 They don't make it seem like it's a concern. I 1:05:58.520 --> 1:06:01.000 think that they are trying to help help Chase Burns 1:06:01.160 --> 1:06:04.320 establish what his routine is supposed to be as a 1:06:04.320 --> 1:06:07.680 big league pitcher. I think he's inconsistent with that routine. 1:06:07.760 --> 1:06:10.240 I think he might be a little bit immature with 1:06:10.320 --> 1:06:13.640 that routine. And if he's not totally preparing his body 1:06:13.680 --> 1:06:16.680 for every single start, then that could lead to an injury. 1:06:16.680 --> 1:06:18.280 And I think the Reds are trying to hammer that 1:06:18.400 --> 1:06:21.360 home with him. And so they have a day where 1:06:21.400 --> 1:06:23.480 he's not at that full range of motion and they 1:06:23.480 --> 1:06:25.520 didn't like it, so they shut him down. They're like, Okay, 1:06:25.520 --> 1:06:27.600 we're going to slow you down a little bit. Here's 1:06:27.600 --> 1:06:29.040 the things you got to focus on to get your 1:06:29.040 --> 1:06:31.920 body ready to pitch. And Chase said he's talked to 1:06:31.960 --> 1:06:35.200 Brady Singer, He's talked to Nicolodolo, He's talked to Andrew 1:06:35.240 --> 1:06:38.320 Abbott okay, and is trying to improve on that part 1:06:38.360 --> 1:06:40.480 of his game, so hopefully he doesn't. And when you 1:06:40.520 --> 1:06:43.240 talk about that idea of a pitcher piggybacking, Chase Burns 1:06:43.280 --> 1:06:46.640 is probably the one most likely to do that as 1:06:46.680 --> 1:06:49.040 far as I'm concerned, just because both in college and 1:06:49.080 --> 1:06:51.040 in his young professional career he's come out of the Bowl. 1:06:51.160 --> 1:06:53.479 I guess I'm just nervous as a long suffering Reds fans. 1:06:53.640 --> 1:06:55.840 Sure that you've seen this before. Okay, So Harnegreen, the 1:06:55.880 --> 1:06:58.320 elbow chips of shooting out taken care of in October, 1:06:58.480 --> 1:07:00.000 We're going to wait till the season starts. 1:07:00.040 --> 1:07:00.960 Well, I'm gonna push that. 1:07:01.000 --> 1:07:03.680 I'm going to push back on that because so they 1:07:03.680 --> 1:07:06.640 get an MRI in July, it's fine, they get an 1:07:06.760 --> 1:07:09.840 MRI in October. They see these chips and doctor Neil 1:07:09.840 --> 1:07:12.720 elatrosh the best elbow surgeon in the world, says, if 1:07:12.760 --> 1:07:14.760 I were you Hunter, I would get the shot and 1:07:14.800 --> 1:07:18.800 wait and rest. And it worked up until right before spring. 1:07:19.400 --> 1:07:22.520 So if I put myself in hunter green shoes and 1:07:22.600 --> 1:07:24.560 the best surgeon in the world is telling me I 1:07:24.560 --> 1:07:26.880 don't think you need surgery, then I'm probably gonna listen 1:07:26.880 --> 1:07:27.120 to them. 1:07:27.120 --> 1:07:28.840 Okay, But so as a Reds fan, I got HOWM 1:07:28.840 --> 1:07:31.680 worded about Hunter Green. All right, Chase Burns had some problems. Really, see, 1:07:31.680 --> 1:07:33.320 you gonna be a good Brandon Williamson's coming off with 1:07:33.360 --> 1:07:38.000 Tommy John surgery. It's like Louder didn't pitch. Louder didn't pitch. 1:07:38.760 --> 1:07:40.920 It's like, you know, I'm just a little nervous. 1:07:41.400 --> 1:07:41.880 Absolutely. 1:07:41.880 --> 1:07:43.560 And then on top of that, Andrew Abbott has not 1:07:43.560 --> 1:07:45.800 looked good at all in spring training and he's going 1:07:45.840 --> 1:07:49.520 to be the opening day starter. Nicolodolo has been fine. Yeah, 1:07:49.560 --> 1:07:52.080 I think all of a sudden, what was supposed to 1:07:52.080 --> 1:07:54.040 be the strength of the team is what you feel 1:07:54.040 --> 1:07:58.640 most wishy washy about. Yeah, but it is difficult to 1:07:59.200 --> 1:08:02.360 analyze every thing that happens in spring training and in Arizona. 1:08:02.440 --> 1:08:04.320 So we'll see what happens when they get back here. 1:08:04.320 --> 1:08:06.520 But from all the people I talk to, there doesn't 1:08:06.520 --> 1:08:08.920 seem to be an overwhelming amount of worry about the 1:08:08.920 --> 1:08:13.160 pitching staff. It's just they're they're figuring stuff out. I 1:08:13.240 --> 1:08:14.920 just hope it gets figured out the next six times. 1:08:15.000 --> 1:08:16.360 Yeah, I mean, you get it's hard to argue the 1:08:16.400 --> 1:08:19.120 offense to the production now that you brought Brian Gino, 1:08:19.240 --> 1:08:21.559 and now it's like Ellie's hitting and Matt McClain is 1:08:21.600 --> 1:08:22.800 looking like his former self. 1:08:22.880 --> 1:08:25.559 So it's all those things are starting to come together. 1:08:25.640 --> 1:08:28.200 Yeah, I mean we talk about complimentary football all the time, 1:08:28.800 --> 1:08:31.120 where you're starting to see some complimentary baseball. If if 1:08:31.200 --> 1:08:34.599 the additions to the lineup, most notably Sworerez and Stuart, 1:08:34.640 --> 1:08:37.000 and if Matt McLain, who Terry Francona said is gonna 1:08:37.000 --> 1:08:39.479 bat second for this team is who he has been 1:08:39.520 --> 1:08:42.439 throughout spring training, which is like the league leader in 1:08:42.479 --> 1:08:46.320 every offensive category, then that's gonna have a huge effect 1:08:46.360 --> 1:08:48.120 on this offense. And that's gonna be able to win 1:08:48.200 --> 1:08:50.800 them some games. Maybe a special or especially if they're 1:08:50.840 --> 1:08:52.880 pitching isn't up to what we expected it to be. 1:08:52.960 --> 1:08:55.799 Yeah, fair enough, Okay, And finally with the Bengals too, Tyson, 1:08:55.840 --> 1:08:59.240 there's gone lost one of your special teams. Guys, kind 1:08:59.240 --> 1:09:01.720 of you, there's gonna be more Bengals stuff. I mean 1:09:01.880 --> 1:09:05.040 it's slow down then. First, you know, forty eight hours 1:09:05.080 --> 1:09:07.160 basically a free agent that people lose their mind. 1:09:07.200 --> 1:09:08.519 And yeah, this is the quiet part. 1:09:08.600 --> 1:09:10.360 Yeah, I don't think we're gonna see anything from them 1:09:10.439 --> 1:09:14.519 until closer to training camp. I think they're folcusing all 1:09:14.560 --> 1:09:16.799 on the draft right now, and I believe the Michigan 1:09:16.840 --> 1:09:19.200 Pro Day is today and we know they love Michigan players, 1:09:19.200 --> 1:09:21.960 so I'm sure they'll be up there. And then we 1:09:22.000 --> 1:09:24.000 get into the Draft, which is just over a month 1:09:24.000 --> 1:09:27.000 from now in Pittsburgh, and then you'll start to see 1:09:27.040 --> 1:09:29.080 a little bit of some figuring out what the roster 1:09:29.200 --> 1:09:32.040 is gonna look like. Paul Danner Junior reported earlier this 1:09:32.080 --> 1:09:33.880 week that it seems like the Dax Hill and DJ 1:09:34.040 --> 1:09:38.280 Turner extensions they've had preliminary conversations, but that won't pick 1:09:38.360 --> 1:09:40.760 up until after the draft. I think they're gonna take 1:09:40.760 --> 1:09:42.960 a corner now because of that in round number one, 1:09:43.439 --> 1:09:45.559 and then maybe at the end of training camp we'll 1:09:45.560 --> 1:09:47.599 see one of those signings like we saw last year 1:09:47.600 --> 1:09:50.640 with no offense with Dalton Reisner. Yes, maybe there's a 1:09:50.680 --> 1:09:53.200 linebacker out there that they'll bring in, but I think 1:09:53.240 --> 1:09:56.360 as of now the free agent acquisition part is over, 1:09:56.479 --> 1:09:58.480 and it's a shame because they don't have a linebacker. 1:09:58.520 --> 1:10:01.120 They lost Tyson Anderson, who is a Lobo caliber special 1:10:01.160 --> 1:10:03.920 teamer and for a one point one million dollar deal. 1:10:03.960 --> 1:10:06.360 I don't understand that they have no depth on their 1:10:06.360 --> 1:10:11.439 defense whatsoever. They've made good additions, but the roster lacks depth, 1:10:11.479 --> 1:10:13.280 and I worry about it. And then depth is a problem. 1:10:13.360 --> 1:10:15.800 After the first game, it gets about depth, right, and 1:10:16.120 --> 1:10:18.479 the Tyson Anderson was confusing because what he left for 1:10:18.600 --> 1:10:19.840 to Denver was not that much. 1:10:20.000 --> 1:10:22.439 No, and you know, I don't know if he's I 1:10:22.479 --> 1:10:24.400 don't expect him to get a chance to play a 1:10:24.400 --> 1:10:27.240 lot as a safety and maybe that, but special team 1:10:27.920 --> 1:10:29.200 I know, but I don't know if that was a 1:10:29.240 --> 1:10:31.400 selling point. Denver's like, you're gonna be able to play defense. 1:10:31.400 --> 1:10:33.599 The Bengals never let him play defense, which I think 1:10:33.640 --> 1:10:37.439 said a lot, especially how bad their safety's played. But yeah, 1:10:37.439 --> 1:10:39.760 that one's a frustrating one because he was well liked 1:10:39.760 --> 1:10:42.439 in the locker room, extremely productive, a huge part of 1:10:42.840 --> 1:10:44.800 what Darren Simmons did in that Special Teams unit. 1:10:44.920 --> 1:10:47.360 I think the biggest weird Bengal like story this week 1:10:47.439 --> 1:10:49.960 is why are the Bills getting Geno Stone? 1:10:50.160 --> 1:10:54.000 Good for you, guys, man, Good for you, guys. I 1:10:54.080 --> 1:10:57.720 thought you thought that bad. You thought Damar Hamlin was 1:10:57.720 --> 1:11:00.720 bad last year. Listen, I've seen a lot. I've seen 1:11:00.760 --> 1:11:03.519 a lot of bills fans complaining about DeMar Hamlin. Yeah, 1:11:03.560 --> 1:11:06.800 you have no idea Gino. I don't think they got 1:11:07.160 --> 1:11:09.240 I said, do we have the clip of Allan Cutler 1:11:09.280 --> 1:11:11.719 saying Gino, Gino, Gino, Gino, Gino, Gino Gino. 1:11:13.439 --> 1:11:15.479 I don't, I don't know, I don't. I just I 1:11:15.520 --> 1:11:17.439 don't see him making it through camp. I really don't 1:11:17.479 --> 1:11:17.600 like that. 1:11:17.720 --> 1:11:19.800 Gonta. Yeah, you were right. We're done. 1:11:19.960 --> 1:11:22.040 We've all joked He'll go to Buffalo and being all 1:11:22.040 --> 1:11:25.640 pro watch this, Yeah, watching ball out fantastic, eleven interceptions, unbelievable, 1:11:25.760 --> 1:11:26.560 That's exactly. 1:11:26.800 --> 1:11:30.040 I don't know if it's more more Buffalo or more Cincinnati. 1:11:30.080 --> 1:11:31.960 I'm not quite sure. Got to get a news update. 1:11:32.040 --> 1:11:34.320 Often and Tony are off today. He'll be drunk by 1:11:34.640 --> 1:11:39.000 probably about the twelve thirty at the Moose Lodge. Moose 1:11:39.040 --> 1:11:43.759 Lodge in Sydney, Ohio. Moose out Front should have told you, thanks, buddy. 1:11:44.280 --> 1:11:45.600 Seven hundred WLW. 1:11:46.040 --> 1:11:47.640 Do you want to be an American? 1:11:48.880 --> 1:11:51.160 Here we go almost did the weekend fourth here seven 1:11:51.240 --> 1:11:54.720 hundred w OLW Scott slung show. Residents in Cincinnati say 1:11:54.800 --> 1:11:57.200 we feel less safe. We think the streets are in 1:11:57.240 --> 1:11:57.719 bad shape. 1:11:57.720 --> 1:11:58.000 They are. 1:11:58.200 --> 1:12:00.519 Quality of life is slipping, and yet city council just 1:12:00.600 --> 1:12:03.599 voted to spend eight million dollars on a riverbend two 1:12:03.720 --> 1:12:06.679 point oh the new Farmer Music Center council member Anna 1:12:06.720 --> 1:12:08.960 Albe sponsored that bill and voted yes. I had her 1:12:09.000 --> 1:12:11.479 on the show yesterday to talk about, Uh, he is 1:12:11.520 --> 1:12:15.160 a hard no hard pass would be the Chair of 1:12:15.320 --> 1:12:18.360 Budget and Finance, Jeffrey Kramerting on the Scottsland Jeff, good morning. 1:12:18.360 --> 1:12:20.720 How are you good to be here? 1:12:20.760 --> 1:12:21.080 Thank you? 1:12:21.160 --> 1:12:23.960 Yeah, so you voted knowing the eight mail bottom line 1:12:23.960 --> 1:12:27.400 for the listeners single biggest reason why. 1:12:28.360 --> 1:12:30.720 There's there's many reasons. First of all, you know we 1:12:30.760 --> 1:12:33.240 threw our big numbers with simple we talk about tax 1:12:33.280 --> 1:12:37.479 debatements and tips. This is eight million dollars out of 1:12:37.479 --> 1:12:41.880 the city's capital budget, eight million dollars of cash. Put 1:12:41.880 --> 1:12:43.720 it in the truck and take it away. That's eight 1:12:43.760 --> 1:12:48.599 million dollars of roads parks, something that's not going to happen. 1:12:48.680 --> 1:12:51.080 This is very real money and a very big stuff. 1:12:51.920 --> 1:12:52.960 Uh that's true. 1:12:52.960 --> 1:12:54.880 But I mean we just sold the railroad and got 1:12:54.920 --> 1:12:57.439 money for that. That's all earmark to redo the rods, 1:12:57.479 --> 1:13:00.200 and I think even to yourself said, hey, you know what, 1:13:00.280 --> 1:13:03.080 we're so far behind in Cincinnati with potholes and roads 1:13:03.080 --> 1:13:05.200 and infrastructure. It's going to take ten years just to 1:13:05.240 --> 1:13:08.040 catch up. So in that context, is is it fair 1:13:08.120 --> 1:13:10.440 to go, hey, we've got to spend money on other projects. 1:13:12.360 --> 1:13:14.640 I am up for spending money on other projects, but 1:13:15.040 --> 1:13:17.640 you know, with city numbers and budgets, it becomes a 1:13:17.680 --> 1:13:20.000 shell game. I'm just pointing out, and we'll point out 1:13:20.040 --> 1:13:24.160 that eight million dollars is very real money. We did 1:13:24.200 --> 1:13:26.639 this vote before the city's budget. We're in the budget 1:13:26.720 --> 1:13:30.920 process now, which involves community engagement, public hearings, hearing from 1:13:30.920 --> 1:13:34.640 our department. Is before we even did that budget process. 1:13:34.760 --> 1:13:38.040 We had this vote yesterday, which, from my perspective, came 1:13:38.080 --> 1:13:41.280 out of relatively nowhere and said this eight million dollars 1:13:41.320 --> 1:13:43.719 is the priority. We need to have this vote before 1:13:43.760 --> 1:13:47.680 the budget process. To me, that's very frustrating and unnecessary. 1:13:48.400 --> 1:13:51.080 I mentioned this to a council member Albeat yesterday and 1:13:51.120 --> 1:13:53.599 said a lot of members, like yourself you just mentioned, 1:13:54.720 --> 1:13:56.800 said that they felt this came out of left field, 1:13:56.800 --> 1:13:58.639 Like why did this thing get pushed to the front 1:13:58.680 --> 1:14:00.400 all of a sudden, just simply out of where it's 1:14:00.400 --> 1:14:02.000 been on the agenda, but all of a sudden, we're 1:14:02.280 --> 1:14:04.479 having a non binding vote on this thing that was 1:14:04.479 --> 1:14:06.879 contentious at five to four, and it's going to move forward. 1:14:07.120 --> 1:14:08.519 I don't know if it's going to pass or not. 1:14:08.680 --> 1:14:10.880 But one of the questions I asked is, hey, you know, 1:14:10.960 --> 1:14:14.479 we not long ago. We just we went through Jeff Pastor, 1:14:14.560 --> 1:14:17.960 Tamya Denard, of course PG. Sittenfeld. We had what's happening 1:14:17.960 --> 1:14:20.599 with House bill or center Bill six in or Maya's 1:14:20.600 --> 1:14:23.919 housepot for whatever, the first energy scandal with Larry Householder, 1:14:23.920 --> 1:14:26.360 and of course that whole thing. We had corruption on 1:14:26.400 --> 1:14:29.920 a public level in Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton, and of course 1:14:29.960 --> 1:14:32.519 here in Cincinnati. And someone may look, well, this has 1:14:32.600 --> 1:14:34.360 just came out of nowhere, and now we're going to 1:14:34.400 --> 1:14:36.880 fast track this money despite doing a survey that says 1:14:36.880 --> 1:14:38.960 it's not on the priority list. We got to fix 1:14:39.000 --> 1:14:41.479 the roads. It's terrible. Crime is an issue right now. 1:14:41.680 --> 1:14:44.080 People aren't coming downtown. That's a problem. Yet we're gonna 1:14:44.080 --> 1:14:47.040 give eight million dollars to Riverbend and Mimi. And the 1:14:47.160 --> 1:14:49.799 question was is it fair for a voter to think 1:14:50.400 --> 1:14:53.240 are we in another phase of public corruption? I think 1:14:53.240 --> 1:14:57.160 it's a fair question because the optics on this are terrible. 1:14:57.920 --> 1:15:01.040 The optics are very bad. I'm definitely hearing from citizens 1:15:01.080 --> 1:15:05.680 and I appreciate their feedback and them listening. Process and 1:15:05.720 --> 1:15:09.320 transparency are important. There's so many questions about this, but 1:15:09.920 --> 1:15:13.080 I'm not sure what the eight million dollars gets us. 1:15:13.400 --> 1:15:15.280 Is the eight million dollars in the sapary to complete 1:15:15.280 --> 1:15:19.040 this project. They've already broken ground, they're building the facility. 1:15:19.360 --> 1:15:22.800 Presumably they've got a finance plan in place to pay 1:15:22.800 --> 1:15:24.360 for it all. So I don't know why they're coming 1:15:24.479 --> 1:15:26.960 now and saying they need eight million dollars to what 1:15:26.960 --> 1:15:28.000 that's going to get us? 1:15:29.960 --> 1:15:31.760 But we also I think the projects still like one 1:15:31.800 --> 1:15:34.160 hundred million short. Isn't that so that that's a drop 1:15:34.200 --> 1:15:34.719 of the ocean? 1:15:36.200 --> 1:15:38.439 Well, I don't know, because I have not seen the performer. 1:15:38.520 --> 1:15:41.080 I have not seen the graph. I'm ritchie about what 1:15:41.160 --> 1:15:43.479 the expenses alread again, with the eight million dollars can go. 1:15:44.160 --> 1:15:47.080 That's a scary part about it is there's no performing here. 1:15:47.120 --> 1:15:50.679 And that basically means that smart people and accountants poured 1:15:50.720 --> 1:15:52.920 over this thing and said, well, here's what's expected, here's 1:15:52.960 --> 1:15:55.000 the revenue projection, here's where you're going to make money, 1:15:55.040 --> 1:15:57.000 here's where're going to lose money, and then present that 1:15:57.080 --> 1:15:59.599 to council for the investment. I look at this and go, okay, 1:15:59.600 --> 1:16:02.639 it's ave. If you can legitimately invest eight million dollars, 1:16:02.720 --> 1:16:04.960 get your money back in five years, and then make 1:16:05.040 --> 1:16:07.559 more interest in perpetuity, that's good for the city. 1:16:07.600 --> 1:16:09.160 That's a good deal. I take that deal. 1:16:09.200 --> 1:16:12.160 You take, but we don't know other than the word 1:16:12.360 --> 1:16:14.840 of the symphony, that that's going to happen. 1:16:15.040 --> 1:16:15.240 Now. 1:16:15.320 --> 1:16:18.080 You know, no independent auditor or anyone has gotten in 1:16:18.080 --> 1:16:19.519 and looked at the books. 1:16:20.880 --> 1:16:23.840 That was a critical step that's been missing the process. 1:16:23.880 --> 1:16:27.400 The city manager was not, you know, presented with the 1:16:27.439 --> 1:16:30.719 structure of this deal. If we understood the deal, understood 1:16:30.760 --> 1:16:34.439 with the eight million dollars, why that was necessary, you know, 1:16:34.520 --> 1:16:38.200 then you can understand the situation and maybe begin a 1:16:38.280 --> 1:16:41.680 negotiation about, you know, what this looks like and how 1:16:41.680 --> 1:16:45.439 would benefit the taxpayers. Without that information, we cannot have 1:16:45.479 --> 1:16:46.479 an informed discussion. 1:16:47.160 --> 1:16:50.400 Council member Scotti Johnson said, this is reckless and irresponsible. 1:16:50.439 --> 1:16:51.040 Do you go that far? 1:16:52.960 --> 1:16:55.720 I think the process has been reckless and I responsible. 1:16:56.520 --> 1:16:58.720 I think that this is a good project. You know, 1:16:58.880 --> 1:17:02.040 I think there are paths forward, but I think it's 1:17:02.080 --> 1:17:05.440 been a very frustrating start. And that's an understatement. 1:17:05.800 --> 1:17:07.760 Yeah, and it's not just Anna, I'll be I mean 1:17:07.760 --> 1:17:09.600 Seth Walsh front of the show, said it's been in 1:17:09.640 --> 1:17:12.360 the works for at least a year or two, and 1:17:12.400 --> 1:17:14.559 you said counsel learned about in the past few weeks. 1:17:14.600 --> 1:17:16.280 I mean, who's right and why does that matter? 1:17:18.000 --> 1:17:21.479 I don't know who's right. I can just say that 1:17:21.600 --> 1:17:25.320 I had my first meeting about thirty days ago and 1:17:26.479 --> 1:17:30.000 received the ask and was told at that juncture that 1:17:30.160 --> 1:17:33.280 there was an urgency to it and that we would 1:17:33.360 --> 1:17:36.439 have to circumvent the budget process. So that was all 1:17:36.479 --> 1:17:39.439 thirty days ago. That was very frustrating. I think the 1:17:39.479 --> 1:17:42.160 city manager was surprised that she was not breached, and 1:17:42.200 --> 1:17:45.320 I think that hurt the mayors frustration. Yesterday or on 1:17:45.400 --> 1:17:46.639 Wednesday as well. 1:17:47.439 --> 1:17:49.960 The city's looking at the thirty five million dollar hole, 1:17:50.160 --> 1:17:54.880 thirty five million general fund deficit, and supporters say that 1:17:55.479 --> 1:17:57.519 all the capital budget. Of course that's a separate pot 1:17:57.520 --> 1:18:01.280 of money. That's a different one. Capital expenditures, you have. 1:18:02.040 --> 1:18:04.040 Does that distinction hold water if you think do you 1:18:04.080 --> 1:18:07.439 think that the average taxpayer, who may not pay attention 1:18:07.520 --> 1:18:10.400 to the very minute details of the things, actually cares. 1:18:11.840 --> 1:18:14.040 They are a two separate budgets, and that's important. But 1:18:14.120 --> 1:18:16.240 to me, the capital budget, where they're trying to get 1:18:16.280 --> 1:18:18.639 these dollars, is more important because these are the things 1:18:18.680 --> 1:18:23.280 that taxpayers see, like roads, like parks, like bridges. 1:18:23.040 --> 1:18:23.720 Like sidewalk. 1:18:24.120 --> 1:18:25.479 So when they say this is just coming out of 1:18:25.479 --> 1:18:27.920 the capitol budget, that's all the more frustrating. 1:18:29.120 --> 1:18:31.240 Also at a time when we're down one hundred and 1:18:31.280 --> 1:18:33.680 fifty cops too. Now, granted we're fast tracking a new 1:18:33.680 --> 1:18:35.600 class and we can't get them online fast enough and 1:18:35.680 --> 1:18:38.240 hired it fast enough and train, but again, is that 1:18:38.280 --> 1:18:40.200 perception like, wait a minute, You've got eight million dollars 1:18:40.240 --> 1:18:42.400 a river bend, but the roads are falling apart. Crime 1:18:42.479 --> 1:18:44.080 is a problem. We don't have enough cops on the 1:18:44.080 --> 1:18:48.120 streets where we're losing money left and right. People aren't 1:18:48.160 --> 1:18:50.800 coming downtown like they used to because of the economy, 1:18:50.840 --> 1:18:53.439 but also because of public safety. I think it just 1:18:53.520 --> 1:18:55.439 doesn't pass the snipsest for a typical voter. 1:18:57.720 --> 1:19:00.240 I ah my gods. We always say that they six 1:19:00.320 --> 1:19:05.360 city services are police, fire roads. We say that's the priority. 1:19:05.760 --> 1:19:08.599 Then we've got a vote like this where we pull 1:19:08.720 --> 1:19:11.720 a special project to the front of the line and 1:19:11.800 --> 1:19:13.320 say this is a priority, so. 1:19:13.280 --> 1:19:16.280 It can't be bug right, right, Well, we've seen this before, 1:19:16.320 --> 1:19:18.840 like every administration. You know, you go back, you're around 1:19:18.920 --> 1:19:21.400 when the Mahogany thing at the banks was going down, 1:19:21.400 --> 1:19:23.240 and that was like, hey, we had a really good 1:19:23.280 --> 1:19:26.519 meal with this lady's small restaurant in Hamilton. Why don't 1:19:26.520 --> 1:19:28.800 we put her in, you know, like a myfair lady 1:19:28.800 --> 1:19:31.320 proposition that she wasn't ready for and she failed. Not 1:19:31.560 --> 1:19:33.439 I don't think because she cooked bad food. I had 1:19:33.439 --> 1:19:35.960 her food, it was wonderful. It's because maybe she couldn't 1:19:35.960 --> 1:19:37.600 scale her business up that they gave her all this 1:19:37.720 --> 1:19:40.120 money unchecked. And you know we see that time and 1:19:40.160 --> 1:19:43.960 time again. Supporters say this is going to generate one 1:19:44.000 --> 1:19:47.400 hundred million dollars in annual economic impact and we'll get 1:19:47.400 --> 1:19:48.639 the investment back in five years. 1:19:48.640 --> 1:19:50.800 I mentioned that the open Jeff Kramer thing. Why don't 1:19:50.800 --> 1:19:51.960 you trust those numbers. 1:19:53.320 --> 1:19:55.840 I think this is a good project I wanted to happen. 1:19:55.920 --> 1:19:58.200 I think there's a role for the city's partner play. 1:19:58.680 --> 1:20:01.920 But you see these economics studies time after time, no 1:20:01.960 --> 1:20:05.240 matter what the project is about, the tremendous economics and 1:20:05.360 --> 1:20:07.719 until where there are so I want it to happen. 1:20:08.080 --> 1:20:12.600 But to justify an eight million dollars outlay from the 1:20:12.640 --> 1:20:15.800 capitol budget is a very big deal. And that's going 1:20:15.800 --> 1:20:19.280 to take work in due diligence and understanding this project, 1:20:20.040 --> 1:20:21.800 what the partners are, and what it's going to take 1:20:21.840 --> 1:20:22.639 to get it done. 1:20:23.800 --> 1:20:26.840 That resident satisfaction survey I mentioned that came out overall 1:20:26.960 --> 1:20:30.639 quality of life dropped down from like sixty five I think, 1:20:30.680 --> 1:20:35.400 to under fifty percent. The perception of Cincinnati is a 1:20:35.400 --> 1:20:38.120 good place to live went from sixty five to forty 1:20:38.240 --> 1:20:39.040 two percent. 1:20:39.640 --> 1:20:40.919 That is just jaw dropping. 1:20:41.760 --> 1:20:44.439 Rhodes ranked number one in importance in that same survey 1:20:44.520 --> 1:20:49.000 and dead last and satisfaction. So if you took that 1:20:49.040 --> 1:20:50.840 eight million dollars and you said, okay, we're going to 1:20:50.920 --> 1:20:53.040 take that eight million dollars and give that to pothole 1:20:53.120 --> 1:20:55.840 repair and maintenance, could we still make a den in 1:20:55.880 --> 1:20:58.200 that simply because we're so far behind. I think that's 1:20:58.200 --> 1:21:00.960 an important nuance, is that we are so far behind. 1:21:01.040 --> 1:21:03.240 It's been ignored for so long that it's going to 1:21:03.320 --> 1:21:05.679 take a better part of a decade just to catch 1:21:05.720 --> 1:21:07.719 up to where we should be. Eight does eight million 1:21:07.720 --> 1:21:08.559 dollars six app. 1:21:09.680 --> 1:21:13.280 Yeah, eight million dollars doesn't fix that. You know, I've 1:21:13.280 --> 1:21:16.160 been I could be leading advocates for getting caught up 1:21:16.160 --> 1:21:21.320 on infrastructure. It's going to take time and focus to 1:21:21.400 --> 1:21:24.880 do that. So is this eight million dollars? Uh? Would 1:21:24.920 --> 1:21:26.040 that fix all the potholes? 1:21:26.400 --> 1:21:26.599 No? 1:21:26.800 --> 1:21:30.439 Absolutely, it would not do. I think send me eight 1:21:30.479 --> 1:21:35.080 million dollars out without process, without due diligence for concert 1:21:35.160 --> 1:21:37.120 venues for the symphony, I think that sends a very 1:21:37.120 --> 1:21:39.840 bad time that this campal does not have focus. 1:21:40.040 --> 1:21:40.360 Yeah. 1:21:40.439 --> 1:21:43.200 Yeah, And then there's a safety component too, and that's 1:21:43.280 --> 1:21:46.519 that's way down. Property crime is way up. Is an 1:21:46.640 --> 1:21:48.800 argument that the Farmer Music Center, this would be called 1:21:48.800 --> 1:21:52.080 the Farmer Music actually helps that. You know, it's a 1:21:52.160 --> 1:21:53.760 quality of life thing for sure, but you've got to 1:21:53.760 --> 1:21:56.400 pay a lot of money to enjoy that quality of life. 1:21:57.240 --> 1:22:00.800 Sure, again, this this this venue is a great thing. 1:22:01.160 --> 1:22:04.320 The symphony is a great assert in the city. But 1:22:04.400 --> 1:22:06.840 you still need to do math to see where you're 1:22:06.880 --> 1:22:09.559 getting the best value for taxpayers dollars. This is a 1:22:09.760 --> 1:22:12.679 very important matter of trust. 1:22:13.520 --> 1:22:15.599 Yeah, just the timing of it was crand kind of odd, 1:22:15.960 --> 1:22:17.599 but those who would afford to say no, this has 1:22:17.600 --> 1:22:19.080 been part of the plan for a while. It just 1:22:19.120 --> 1:22:21.200 came to the top yesterday. But it surprised a lot 1:22:21.240 --> 1:22:22.960 of people. And that's a confusing part, I think for 1:22:23.080 --> 1:22:24.640 us in the in the cheap seat here who are 1:22:24.680 --> 1:22:28.280 observing this going, boy, somebody's something right here. It just 1:22:28.320 --> 1:22:30.960 doesn't sound right. But that aside. You know, the projector 1:22:30.960 --> 1:22:34.040 of one hundred million in revenue, you know what I'd 1:22:34.080 --> 1:22:35.280 like to see, and this is part of it. I 1:22:35.320 --> 1:22:37.920 asked Anna, and I'll be this yesterday and I don't 1:22:37.920 --> 1:22:41.160 know if she answered the question or not, But okay, 1:22:41.160 --> 1:22:43.000 so the projector is one hundred million five years. You 1:22:43.040 --> 1:22:44.559 get your money back, your made hole, and then you 1:22:44.600 --> 1:22:46.960 make all this tax revenue perpetuity. Well, I know Mimi 1:22:47.000 --> 1:22:49.559 does it. MEMI is a nonprofit. First of all, they 1:22:49.600 --> 1:22:52.640 don't pay taxes now, certainly not property tax. Of course, 1:22:52.680 --> 1:22:54.519 there's a lot of other taxes say pay as well. 1:22:55.520 --> 1:22:57.880 But I also look at it and go, all right, well, 1:22:57.880 --> 1:23:00.280 we have an existing river bend and we're gonna use 1:23:00.360 --> 1:23:02.400 it up a little bit and add another stage and 1:23:02.439 --> 1:23:04.320 all this and maybe get a few bigger acts. 1:23:04.320 --> 1:23:06.160 But that's another another issue. 1:23:07.000 --> 1:23:09.120 How much more money can we make on top of 1:23:09.160 --> 1:23:11.479 an already existing infrastrut I mean, it's already there. It's 1:23:11.479 --> 1:23:13.599 not like, hey, if we build this, you know, it's 1:23:13.640 --> 1:23:16.519 like opening like what they're doing in Cleveland, right, they're gonna, hey, 1:23:16.560 --> 1:23:18.360 we're gonna make all this extra money because you got 1:23:18.439 --> 1:23:21.160 luxury suites. Okay, I see that, but this is just 1:23:21.560 --> 1:23:23.880 remodeling the same property. How much more money can you 1:23:23.880 --> 1:23:24.639 squeeze out of that? 1:23:25.520 --> 1:23:25.720 Yeah? 1:23:25.880 --> 1:23:28.720 And it is it worth eight million dollars? I think 1:23:28.760 --> 1:23:33.040 that is the critical question that that has been unanswered 1:23:33.200 --> 1:23:33.639 to date. 1:23:35.680 --> 1:23:37.680 And it's just a time where you know, we have 1:23:37.840 --> 1:23:41.800 this the fund from un unclaimed funds pot of money 1:23:41.880 --> 1:23:44.639 that state he are taking And I kind of laughed. 1:23:44.640 --> 1:23:49.120 Tq wel home of the FC Cincinnati team is asking 1:23:49.160 --> 1:23:51.280 for money. They just opened the damn stadium like two 1:23:51.320 --> 1:23:53.400 weeks ago. It's like what, Because the money is there, 1:23:53.439 --> 1:23:55.599 that's why. And I don't blame Jeff Birding in company. 1:23:55.600 --> 1:23:57.400 If you have a pot of money, it's like, why 1:23:57.439 --> 1:23:59.320 would you tap into that? You think it's the same 1:23:59.360 --> 1:23:59.920 mindset here. 1:24:00.680 --> 1:24:04.160 Well, I think that's I think that there's the possibility 1:24:04.160 --> 1:24:06.640 that could con set a disturbing press. I mean, what 1:24:07.240 --> 1:24:11.440 the Symphony is saying, it's correct, is that their facilities generate. 1:24:11.120 --> 1:24:12.479 Admission tax, which they do. 1:24:12.920 --> 1:24:14.920 The admission tax is worth it's two percent of the 1:24:14.920 --> 1:24:18.800 city's budget. Most of that is produced by the sports team. 1:24:18.840 --> 1:24:22.080 So what they're saying is, well, we're produced, we're giving 1:24:22.080 --> 1:24:24.400 you admission tax, and we deserve this eight million dollars. 1:24:24.439 --> 1:24:27.960 We're entitled to it. So if that's the logic, then 1:24:28.560 --> 1:24:32.120 certainly FC is entitled admissions tax money and the Bengals 1:24:32.160 --> 1:24:34.880 are entitled deserves and we're going to lose that revenue strength. 1:24:35.120 --> 1:24:39.160 So if everybody starts saying this admission taxing phase goes 1:24:39.200 --> 1:24:42.800 to our special project for renovation or parking garage or 1:24:42.840 --> 1:24:45.120 whatever the perceived need is, which is just going to 1:24:45.200 --> 1:24:47.920 create a hole in the city's budget, a bigger hole 1:24:48.000 --> 1:24:48.839 in the city's budget. 1:24:49.040 --> 1:24:51.000 If you guys don't give them the eight million, is 1:24:51.000 --> 1:24:53.960 the project in jeopardy. 1:24:54.120 --> 1:24:56.719 I have seen no evidence that that would happen. Again. 1:24:56.720 --> 1:24:59.679 They've they've broken ground, they started the project, that they're out, 1:25:00.560 --> 1:25:05.439 the project being built, and after all that, they came 1:25:05.479 --> 1:25:07.880 to the eight million dollars, they would have come to 1:25:07.920 --> 1:25:10.080 it at the beginning. Again, it would have been more timely. 1:25:10.240 --> 1:25:13.320 It's a more thoughtful conversation, and don't want to dig 1:25:13.400 --> 1:25:17.640 up the old wound. But sunlight pool was you know, 1:25:17.920 --> 1:25:22.080 many citizens very passionate about that. And if the Symphony 1:25:22.080 --> 1:25:23.679 came to with early and said, you know, we need 1:25:23.920 --> 1:25:26.559 eight million dollars for this project, that could have been 1:25:26.560 --> 1:25:29.519 part of the conversation like, okay, you want city money, well, 1:25:29.560 --> 1:25:31.280 residence one of us, if there's sunlight pool whatever, really 1:25:31.360 --> 1:25:33.559 need that't from that, So that could have been part 1:25:33.600 --> 1:25:35.000 of the conversation as well. 1:25:35.479 --> 1:25:38.480 I think I push back. I disagree on that one. 1:25:38.840 --> 1:25:41.720 I'm definitely on the Symphony side with the with the 1:25:41.720 --> 1:25:44.000 sunlight pool, I mean, it's a huge giant pool that 1:25:44.080 --> 1:25:46.519 fewer and fewer people were going to because everyone has 1:25:46.560 --> 1:25:49.080 a pool in their backyard, every community as a pool. 1:25:49.439 --> 1:25:51.360 It's not the attraction it once was. And I just 1:25:51.360 --> 1:25:53.920 didn't get the numbers down there. Despite advertising trying to 1:25:53.920 --> 1:25:57.479 do everything, people were just going down there anymore. Kind 1:25:57.479 --> 1:25:59.320 of maybe like the theater model. I don't know, everything 1:25:59.360 --> 1:26:02.000 has its it's time and place in history. I had 1:26:02.000 --> 1:26:03.880 a lot of was like, hey, let's let's do something 1:26:03.880 --> 1:26:05.599 else with this land here, and it was more an 1:26:05.800 --> 1:26:08.240 iconic kind of thing that you know, it was about 1:26:08.240 --> 1:26:10.680 the memories. It wasn't about what's happening right now. You know, 1:26:10.800 --> 1:26:13.240 if people were showing up the sunlight pool, they wouldn't 1:26:13.240 --> 1:26:13.760 have to close it. 1:26:14.880 --> 1:26:17.280 I think, I think, you know, there were citizens that 1:26:17.479 --> 1:26:20.040 wanted to create a foundation they could go over on 1:26:20.080 --> 1:26:22.880 their own. They've done that in other neighbors throughout the city. 1:26:23.160 --> 1:26:25.680 I think that conversation, it could have been part of it. 1:26:26.840 --> 1:26:29.800 Right now. The simpy's just using that site was the 1:26:29.840 --> 1:26:32.000 pool for a parking lot, so there was no pressing 1:26:32.120 --> 1:26:36.880 need to demolish it. The timing, to me, the timing 1:26:36.920 --> 1:26:40.400 of that makes part of this whole process as far 1:26:40.439 --> 1:26:42.960 as what happened when, yeah and why? 1:26:43.240 --> 1:26:45.840 All right, this is a non binding resolution. The eight 1:26:45.880 --> 1:26:48.160 million dollars is not yet made it in the twenty 1:26:48.160 --> 1:26:50.280 twenty seven budget. You got to do. I think July 1:26:50.360 --> 1:26:51.920 first has a drop dead on that one is to 1:26:51.920 --> 1:26:54.320 fight over or is this going to get relegate? What's 1:26:54.360 --> 1:26:54.800 going to happen? 1:26:55.760 --> 1:26:58.000 No, I think the conversation is going to continue. I'm 1:26:58.080 --> 1:27:02.720 hearing a lot of questions from citizens society on the 1:27:02.760 --> 1:27:05.360 City Hall this is the most controversial vote we've had, 1:27:06.400 --> 1:27:08.400 this being five to four, because it was obviously very 1:27:08.439 --> 1:27:11.640 devices and this is producing a lot of conversation, a 1:27:11.640 --> 1:27:14.800 lot of phone calls. So I think that the questions 1:27:15.680 --> 1:27:19.880 we will continue as the budget process continues. The next 1:27:19.880 --> 1:27:24.920 stage is for counsel to to draft the priority budget, 1:27:25.800 --> 1:27:29.280 which is because what our priorities are back to priority yep. 1:27:30.040 --> 1:27:35.679 And if the five votes are there and they continue 1:27:35.680 --> 1:27:37.360 to say, that is eight million dollars of priorty that 1:27:37.400 --> 1:27:39.840 will go in our priority budget. That will go into 1:27:39.840 --> 1:27:42.320 the city manager and she will have that when she 1:27:42.400 --> 1:27:43.799 drafts the actual budget. 1:27:45.120 --> 1:27:47.600 Is a transparency and issue with me. It's kind of 1:27:47.600 --> 1:27:50.080 like they strike me as like the Bengals. You know, 1:27:50.080 --> 1:27:52.640 they go, Okay, listen, we need a contribution. We did 1:27:52.720 --> 1:27:56.000 money was saying, but they're really not forthcoming and transparent 1:27:56.040 --> 1:27:57.000 about what it is they're doing. 1:27:57.040 --> 1:27:57.960 Is that problematic for you? 1:27:59.479 --> 1:28:02.960 It's very every project I've had, there's been the big 1:28:03.000 --> 1:28:06.559 Excel spreadsheet where everybody's number in the city's number. Invention 1:28:06.720 --> 1:28:10.160 Center was a very good example. A different project, but 1:28:10.200 --> 1:28:13.400 a good example, huge spreadsheet, lots of different sources. The 1:28:13.439 --> 1:28:18.479 city's numbers started very high and his other revenue sources 1:28:18.479 --> 1:28:21.880 came online, like the naming rights. We saw the city's 1:28:21.920 --> 1:28:25.800 contribution go down. So at all points we knew what 1:28:25.920 --> 1:28:27.960 was going to take to get that project done. We 1:28:28.000 --> 1:28:29.880 knew what the city's ass who's going to be, We 1:28:29.960 --> 1:28:32.000 knew what the County's that's who's going to be. We 1:28:32.040 --> 1:28:34.080 had all the partners there and we could watch the 1:28:34.120 --> 1:28:38.320 project developed. That has not happened at all with this project. 1:28:39.760 --> 1:28:42.120 I think that says a lot, and yet it feels 1:28:42.160 --> 1:28:43.720 like almost at some point we're going to hand the 1:28:43.760 --> 1:28:46.200 eight million dollars off you got between now in July 1:28:46.280 --> 1:28:48.960 first to sort all this out.

You need to have munchie 1:31:42.200 --> 1:31:45.400 appetizers because you're raising, you're hanging out, and the other 1:31:45.560 --> 1:31:48.920 aspect of it is you need sound. I'm that person 1:31:48.920 --> 1:31:50.599 if I'm going to watch a game, which is can 1:31:50.680 --> 1:31:52.519 be very complicated because if you have a lot of 1:31:52.520 --> 1:31:54.479 games going at once, pick the best game. 1:31:54.640 --> 1:31:55.360 Throw some sound on. 1:31:55.360 --> 1:31:57.040 All right, So you kind of mentioned it before, right, 1:31:57.080 --> 1:31:59.559 so you have down at the Bank, you got Holy Grail, 1:31:59.800 --> 1:32:02.120 the Pitch Kitty Sports Grill. 1:32:02.280 --> 1:32:05.080 That's actually a really great half of Third Street. 1:32:05.600 --> 1:32:09.400 So you know where the Blind Pig is, Lolas, just 1:32:09.479 --> 1:32:12.519 keep going past it if that's on your right and 1:32:13.000 --> 1:32:14.400 have a big mural right out front. 1:32:14.520 --> 1:32:14.840 That is it. 1:32:14.960 --> 1:32:17.000 That's a spot, really really. 1:32:17.680 --> 1:32:20.479 Super divy, along with the knock back net. 1:32:21.080 --> 1:32:25.960 That's the spot.

The route it's on South South Race 1:34:58.120 --> 1:35:00.840 to east on Fifth and it ends at the Taft Theater. 1:35:00.880 --> 1:35:03.120 It's about a mile and a little over a mile. 1:35:03.520 --> 1:35:07.000 Got your Grand Marshall, Jeff the Cowboy Brantley, your first 1:35:07.000 --> 1:35:11.639 pitch Bronson Arroyo, and then your Honorary Captain Dave Conception. 1:35:12.640 --> 1:35:15.080 They read legend, yeah, legend, and. 1:35:15.120 --> 1:35:17.559 You have a full timeline right, So starting at ten am, 1:35:18.120 --> 1:35:21.200 here's my recommendation. I typically like to start in the 1:35:21.200 --> 1:35:25.559 Finley Market area. I love hanging out outside of Uncle Leo's. 1:35:26.080 --> 1:35:30.000 If you haven't been there, it's all the time. 1:35:30.080 --> 1:35:33.879 I'm telling you. Start around the filey Marketer, follow the parade, 1:35:34.160 --> 1:35:36.680 move with the parade. This is my recommendation. 1:35:37.040 --> 1:35:40.679 Maybe pop into the Holiday which is in that same round, 1:35:41.160 --> 1:35:42.680 or just like pop in at the end. 1:35:42.680 --> 1:35:43.240 Of the parade. 1:35:43.320 --> 1:35:48.520 I have done that before and it's really fun and skyline. 1:35:48.600 --> 1:35:49.720 So throughout the whole day. 1:35:49.800 --> 1:35:53.040 If you're going down and pop into Fountain Square, they 1:35:53.080 --> 1:35:54.960 are doing the free cheese cony. 1:35:54.800 --> 1:35:55.679 Good you got buy a coke? 1:35:55.720 --> 1:35:57.960 I think you do have to buy a coke with it, so. 1:35:58.000 --> 1:35:59.240 And not died coke coke. 1:35:59.400 --> 1:36:04.599 Oh yeah, a Coca cola. Coca Cola the og from 1:36:04.760 --> 1:36:07.960 ten am to four pm. Keep in mind, yes they 1:36:07.960 --> 1:36:09.920 do serve Cony's in the ballpark. That's not going to 1:36:09.920 --> 1:36:12.280 be a thing in the ballpark, So don't expect that 1:36:12.840 --> 1:36:16.040 there's going to be Court Street plaza celebrations with the 1:36:16.080 --> 1:36:19.040 parade viewing and live music, food and drink there. And 1:36:19.040 --> 1:36:20.960 then if you start making your way down closer to 1:36:21.000 --> 1:36:24.120 the banks, there's like Vintage on Race, they're always having 1:36:24.160 --> 1:36:26.360 a party. That's a great spot to pop into. I 1:36:26.400 --> 1:36:29.880 think John John is DJing down at Morel Like that's 1:36:29.920 --> 1:36:32.840 around like noon, all the way till eight he is. 1:36:33.040 --> 1:36:34.080 He dj is everywhere. 1:36:34.080 --> 1:36:38.200 The man is everywherebelievable. Do you think he's cloned himself? 1:36:38.640 --> 1:36:40.240 No, I think he's going to die by the time 1:36:40.280 --> 1:36:43.160 he's forty, is what I think. Oh my goodness, gow 1:36:43.200 --> 1:36:46.759 it down. What do you Kevin Hart? Say no to something? 1:36:46.840 --> 1:36:50.599 I hope he's making bank, not Kevin Hart bank. It's 1:36:50.640 --> 1:36:51.559 a different bond game. 1:36:51.880 --> 1:36:53.560 Eight hours of playing music. 1:36:53.640 --> 1:36:54.920 He's not actually going to be playing. 1:36:55.120 --> 1:36:57.320 Are you going to watch the game something else? Do 1:36:57.360 --> 1:36:58.960 you need a DJ on opening day? 1:36:59.040 --> 1:37:01.040 Actually? No, that's a good point. Is he gonna be 1:37:01.080 --> 1:37:02.080 there for eight hours? 1:37:02.760 --> 1:37:02.920 Him? 1:37:03.439 --> 1:37:03.960 Probably? 1:37:04.240 --> 1:37:05.120 It probably is. 1:37:05.160 --> 1:37:06.960 He so annoying. 1:37:06.720 --> 1:37:09.280 Outside of more line, but he'll keep the tunes going. 1:37:09.320 --> 1:37:09.960 He's a great DJ. 1:37:10.360 --> 1:37:13.360 He's a great DJ, but not today or Thursday. I 1:37:13.400 --> 1:37:16.160 guess it is a thing. Well, I know it's his thing. 1:37:16.600 --> 1:37:20.040 Good for him, good for it. One am I avoiding? 1:37:20.040 --> 1:37:20.800 Where is he going to be? 1:37:20.880 --> 1:37:24.080 He's gonna be more lines? Also, I think they're rebranding. 1:37:24.080 --> 1:37:24.479 I'll be it. 1:37:24.520 --> 1:37:26.360 I'll bet the grail watching baseball. 1:37:27.080 --> 1:37:31.720 Tucking up the store.
