WEBVTT - 12-29-25 Sterling in for Gary Jeff 0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:04.280 Well, well, well back from the weekend, a big win 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:10.840 basketball cat sat home all Third Arena, all over Lipscombe 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:13.480 eighty nine sixty two, which is the way you would 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:16.320 expect it to have gone, and they were all tuned 0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:19.000 up and ready to go and welcome back to the 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:24.720 Big twelfth schedule as they roll into starting Saturday, with 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:29.080 Houston coming in to fifth third Arena Saturday afternoon, then 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:32.760 a trip to West Virginia for a seven o'clock tip 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:36.120 off on well a week from tomorrow on January sixth, though, 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.479 with the new year brings on the Big twelveth schedule 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.800 for the bear Cats, who are now seven and five, 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.800 eight and five actually, and Lipscomb falls now to seven 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:48.440 and six, I think is how that goes. Yeah, I'm 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:51.920 pretty sure that's said. And of course, a Bengals doing 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:56.200 exactly what we expected them to do yesterday. We expected 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:58.960 it to be the whole season more or less like this, 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:03.760 which was a developing, growing, improving defense and an offense 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:10.480 that just basically destroys defenses in and around the NFL 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.240 that they made easy work of. A Cardinals team that 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.000 apparently most of the NFL's made easy work of too, 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:21.440 That was yesterday and that it felt almost like spring 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:25.959 or fall yesterday it was about what forty degrees warmer 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:29.319 If I'm not mistaken, then right now made tailgating easier. 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:31.440 A lot of people getting stuff done outside, and a 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.200 whole lot of people very happy at pacore thirty seven 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.720 to fourteen Bengals over Cardinals. And they'll wrap it up 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:42.000 on Sunday at the one o'clock kickoff when the Browns 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.639 roll in, and that's always going to be a battle 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.440 AFC nor showdown Browns Bengals, it's just what it is. 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.920 So we'll see exactly how that goes. And it looks 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.960 like Joe Burrows expected to start and looks healthy and 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.280 as it should be. And it's just amazing to see 0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:01.800 all the offensive weapons that the Bengals have being available 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:05.320 and with Joe Burrow behind center and healthy with the 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.640 toe and comfortable and just going to work. And that's 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.480 exactly what they did yesterday, which is scored early, often 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.359 and seemingly at will handling their business, which is sort 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:18.240 of how the basketball Bearcats handled Lipscomb, so sort of 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.840 a tune up for both, but with a big twelve 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.280 schedule in front of the Bearcats it's going to be 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.440 a whole bunch of basketball in front of them and 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:31.239 Bengals wrapping down. I'm still beweldered about this, and I 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:31.720 don't know if you. 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:32.280 Heard about it. 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:38.919 We probably have the offensive line being gifted is they 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.280 often are from quarterbacks. Joe Burrow showing love to those 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.840 who protect him on that offensive line for the Hoode 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:49.400 and apparently decided to go fossil ways. And when they 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.480 first talked about it, I'm like, oh, watch, it's cool. 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.120 No fossils is in like dinosaur bones and stuff like 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.799 that too, which is pretty wild, which we'll get into 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.320 a little bit later. That's a different kind of gift, 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.640 and it's pretty amazing when you think about it, just 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.960 the history of it in the time and everything else, 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.760 and you just think of what walked the earth and 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:13.440 was here, and frankly, we drive and consume even a 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.480 lot of our heat, it's thanks to dinosaur bones and 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.919 what was left behind in the pudial ooze, if you will, 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.480 of what was here before us. Unless all of a 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:27.720 sudden the DNA starts working and they start bringing back dinosaurs, 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.320 be it like Jurassic Park. Well, let's hope that's not 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.520 necessarily the case. A lot of ground to cover tonight, 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.400 and we're gonna talk to Sonya Azad had her on 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.040 the show before. We'll talk on living better and healthier 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:43.160 in twenty six, and she certainly has studied a lot 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.440 of this and it's sort of at peace with herself. 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.080 It's more than just yoga and eating better and a 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.080 lot of other stuff. It's in our head. So we'll 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.240 talk to her about that. In Mighty Wall from space 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.280 dot Com. Coming up after ten o'clock, we'll talk about 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.840 the biggest news from twenty twenty five and something you 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.280 may have heard already to I'm sure you'll hear it 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.840 during year nine thirty maybe ten o'clock report. Also pretty wild. 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:09.160 Apparently Russia has sort of helped to launch some satellites 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.280 into space for Iran. I don't know exactly what that means, 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.560 but they are in the Space Game two. So we'll 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.640 talk to him about that and what to expect in 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.640 twenty twenty six, whether it's more tourists in space, what 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.240 it means for technology AI. There's a whole lot of 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.520 layers to all those things that are out there, and 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.599 we will get into a little of all of that 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.360 as well tonight and a lot of other stuff too. 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.320 One of the things that I think is wild and 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.040 it's a weird couple of weeks here with Christmas and 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.760 New Year's falling in the middle of the weeks as 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.760 it is. And I'll be back on New Year's even 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.640 for a virtual New Year's celebration, if you will. After 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.279 Ohio State football and the Cotton Bowl, is they look 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.400 to go to work and finish off their season in 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.640 a good way. A lot of people with what do 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.960 you like the resolutions? I guess, and I have had 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.560 had a fairly generic one for a while. But I 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:05.240 think if you don't say it, if you don't put 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.560 it out there, perhaps maybe it doesn't seem real. And 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.760 a lot of people's psychologists and so forth maybe agree. 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.880 Some of it's it's about, you know, making more money. 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.839 Some of it's about being closer and doing more with family. 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.080 Some of it's about getting healthier, whether it's you know, 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.520 I don't know, drinking less, the sober January kind of say, 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.359 or dry January deal, which a lot of people are into, 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:32.400 whether it's a you know, backing off on drinking or 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.080 or even if it's not even the whole month of 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.279 being dry. What they have found and what they say 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.440 is that effectively, even just a little bit of a 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.200 break does a ton of good for our bodies and 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.599 our minds. And I guess the chemistry with that, so 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.719 that is not even all of it. And this is 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.760 what I think is wild. And we'll get into this 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.279 a little bit more so after the news. They have 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.799 a new study that's come out, and I like research 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.000 studies and so forth, and they have an new definition 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:06.600 for what it's worth of what actually makes us obese 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:11.360 or fat. In what they say now is that seventy 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.600 five percent of us, actually more than seventy five percent 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.360 of us could very well fall into what they're now 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:22.120 calling obesity definition. In the parameters that they set for it, 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.120 only forty percent of adults currently meeting what is considered 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.839 to be the be on my obesity level in how 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.080 we're looked at. So, I mean, you may not think 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.039 that you're a big fat tabagou, I may not feel 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.159 that you know that's necessarily the case, but apparently that 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.080 is where more and more of us are going, which 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.800 is kind of disturbing. Just the same researchers have bet 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.880 the Israel Deaconess Medical Center, also Yale, Harvard, the New 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:52.080 Haven Health as well, and they say that is not 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:56.400 necessarily the only thing, and it underestimates exactly how unhealthy 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:00.160 we are. And as a result of that, more of 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:04.200 us probably need to eat less and move more, which 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.680 may or may not be all that surprising to us. 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.479 But right about now, in the midst of the wrap 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.480 up of the holiday season, with cookies and a lot 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.880 of meals and hopefully a lot of good times with 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:19.080 friends and family, maybe not looking at the idea of 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.040 being too heavy, but they say at this point even 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.720 what they call normal BMI four and ten of us 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.600 at this point would be considered carrying around excess body 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.960 fat when they look at our waste measurement, not just 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:38.560 the overall fat if you will, or mass index. I'm 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.080 not sure what a lot of that means, but apparently 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.760 it's not necessarily good news for our overall well beings. 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.000 So we'll talk to Sonya Zad about that after your 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.520 nine thirty report. Straight Away, Jack Cromley knows what's going 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.120 on around planet Earth. He knows what's happening here in 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.680 the tri State. He will share that information, disseminating all 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.840 kinds of it straight away here your nine thirty report 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.480 after a winning basketball Bearcats night at Fifth Third Arena, 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.680 and right here on the Big One, dominating Lipscomb in 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.880 front of them, the Big twelve season is ahead. It's sterling. 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:13.920 And for Gary Jeff on seven hundred doub welw how 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.440 you doing, it's sterling haying out fine Monday night? For 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:20.080 Gary Jeff, hope you're doing one fun New Year's around 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.560 the corner. A lot of people with resolutions, plans to 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.400 live better, get their mind right, their body right, whatever 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.920 else goes along with it's someone who knows. I believe 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:29.760 it's been a while, probably close to a year or so, 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.000 maybe more, since we've actually had Sony on the show. 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:35.080 Welcome back to seven hundred double you wellw sonya Zod? 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:36.400 How are you? How's everything? 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:37.920 Hey? 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.000 Everything is fine. I know you guys like to chat 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:42.560 with me ahead of the New Year. 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.160 Apparently it just seemed that way we have because I 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.920 think everybody sort of has a you know, it's an 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.719 arbitrary thing because I know my uncle when I was 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.280 a kid, would always tell me, you know, today's the 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:53.800 first day of the rest of your life. I remember 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.120 being a little goe whatever dude. But it's true you 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.720 always have a chance to begin again. But the new 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.640 year is sort of that arbitrary flip the calendar over 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.400 new start, new beginning. And one of those things is 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.520 our mind, our body, our soul, and the idea of 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:12.760 living better and maybe healthier in twenty twenty six. Is 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.000 it a problem for people to look at that and 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.160 have so much pressure? Do you think at a new 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.920 year's time rather than at another point? I mean, is 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.679 it doesn't matter? It certainly gets more people interested. 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.080 Yeah, look, I mean there's never a problem. 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:31.200 I think your grandfather's advice is really sound and wise. 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:35.440 Every day you could start and choose a different way, 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:36.199 different paths. 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.319 I think a lot of people have. 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.280 Kind of jumped on this New year band wagon idea 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.120 because it does feel for people in the US at 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.200 least as a clean slate, right, and so they want 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:52.280 to start fresh, start new. The problem with going into 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.520 something like the New Year wanting to make a bunch 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:59.199 of sweeping changes is that then you do run the 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.640 risk of becoming overwhelmed. You're like, I'm gonna exercise every day, 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.520 and I'm gonna drink a gallon of water, and I'm 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.920 gonna you know, make all of these changes, and then 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.520 you burn out in the first two weeks. So I 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:13.280 always say, look, you've got to start right now. Actually 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.600 I'm glad we're talking now, a few days before the 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:19.000 new year, and audit, audit your last year, so that 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.440 you know your starting point. You've got to assess what 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.840 worked for you in twenty twenty five, what didn't work 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.600 for you in twenty twenty five, and then what changes 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.319 do you really want to see in the next year. 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:36.280 And you have to come up with a plan for yourself. 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:40.840 And truthfully, I don't think that a plan just buy 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:45.000 yourself for yourself is as effective as if you were 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.600 to hire, let's say, a personal trainer or an accountability coach, 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.319 or even create a vision board or write things down 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.040 in a journal. Because if you think, oh, I'm gonna 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:56.760 do it on my own, I'll figure it out by myself, 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:57.440 I'll ask Ai. 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.800 You're gonna lose steam, You're going to lack support. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:06.360 But employing people, a community, a supportive you know, coach 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.439 or an expert will help you to achieve the results 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:10.079 that you desire. 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.680 Talking to Sonya sad and she a yogurt expert, a 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:14.600 yoga not yogurt. 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:15.800 Excuse me my speech. 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.200 Maybe you do know a lot about yoga to yogurt too, 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.800 but as certainly yoga and just in general a better 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.960 wellness in our lives and so forth, which is a 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.680 lot what a lot of us are always sort of 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.720 looking for. And there is something too that is it 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.800 better not just to write it down in that journal, 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.680 aside from maybe finding an expert, but to find a buddy. 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.120 But there is something about writing it down because it 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.640 makes it real. It's tangible, whether it's a journal or 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:41.640 something along those lines or is that overthinking? 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:46.959 Yeah, no, absolutely it is a great idea to journal. 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.760 It's also a great idea to do a vision board. 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.080 And I know that people go, oh yeah, let me roll. 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.360 My eyes right like he did. He just rolled his eyes, 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:56.839 that's right. 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.000 It sounds so woo woo. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:04.400 But a vision board there's actually science behind it because 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:08.280 when you are visualizing things, you're calling things into your brain, 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:11.240 something that you see, something that you remind yourself of 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:15.120 every day. That means that it becomes intentional. It's a 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.160 gentle nudge to your brain like oh, that's going to 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.600 help me to set that goal, that's going to help 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.520 me remember to achieve that goal. It bridges the gap 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.640 between your imagination and action. So when goals only live 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.520 in your head, they're really easy to forget or you 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:34.600 can override them with those daily distractions that we all have. 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:39.080 But when you've got something visual and emotionally charged, it 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.520 becomes really hard to ignore. And I do want to 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.680 make this distinction. There is a difference between setting a 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:49.800 goal and setting an intention for the new year. So 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.120 a lot of times when people are creating vision boards, 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.280 and I lead vision boarding workshops and these are very popular. 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.120 Setting a goal is like I want to run a marathon. 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.320 There's an end point, you cross the finish line, you 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:02.600 check it off, it's done. 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:04.680 Setting an intention like. 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.920 Saying fearlessness is going to be my word of the year, 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:14.280 or trust or flow or boundaries or rise. Whatever the 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:16.880 intention is, is how you want to show up every day. 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.320 So it sounds like it's a bit more broad, but 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.240 that's kind of the point. I'll give you an example. 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.520 My word for this year twenty twenty five was co create. 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:30.720 I'm going to try to find opportunities to create workshops 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:35.080 or retreats or whatever, partner with people who I want 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.200 to work with, like because it's more fun than just 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.160 working by yourself. So I've come up with a lot 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:44.440 of different ways to infuse that word, my word for 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.000 twenty twenty five co creation into the whole year. So 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:52.400 it's less about doing one thing and finishing it and 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.000 more about how do I want this year to feel 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.840 for me? But visualization absolutely makes it real. 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:03.920 Talking to Sonya A Zod the website Sonia Azod dot com, 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:08.560 Stirling seven hundred WLW, so you mentioned the word or 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.319 that term to sort of think about it, and you 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:15.440 also mentioned that about the co create thing for twenty five, 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.440 which is what you were using, Sonia. What I find 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:21.360 interesting is it is almost like having seeking out and 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.600 putting a plan together, in part for finding a partner, 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:26.560 someone to you know, just help push you or you 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.560 push them. The collaboration or other whether it's your you know, 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.920 significant other, or whether it's a business endeavor, or it's 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.080 as simple maybe even what is going to the gym 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.520 and trying to get healthier or something along those lines. 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.320 Sure it could be whatever you want. 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:44.280 I mean, if someone feels like they want fearlessness in 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.520 their lives this year because they've been scared to try 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.040 new things or maybe they feel. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:49.280 Like they've failed or they. 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.920 Didn't have that support, they lacked enthusiasm from a partner 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:57.960 or spouse. Then you know, step into something new, right 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.720 and this is it is a really good year for that. 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.760 Twenty twenty six, the numerologists say, is a year of 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.840 new beginnings. Twenty twenty five was kind of a year 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:13.560 of completion. And so even the people who are into 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:18.440 the Chinese or lunar calendar, they're going to be celebrating 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.880 Year of the Horse. And so we're closing out the 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:26.240 Year of the Snake, which represents symbolically kind of a shedding, 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.440 a culmination, and the Year of the Horse is really 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:33.320 about empowerment and action and motivation. And so if that 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.200 resonates with any of your listeners, you know, I encourage 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.160 you to look into it a little bit more and 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.760 to find support. I mean, I teach Zoom classes on 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.960 and these are just three classes a week, thirty minutes 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.280 each time, so you think thirty minutes, oh, like, what 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.520 can I get done? But the first question I ask 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:54.000 people in the mornings is what do you desire from 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.440 this day? And that's a really really important question because 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.400 usually we just what our alarms go on off, we 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.480 scroll a little bit, we step out of bed, and 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.600 we just move. We're like throwing our bodies through our 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:10.120 day without really thinking what do I want out of 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.400 this day? Not just what does this day require for me? 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:16.200 And so these people carve out thirty minutes at the 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.440 start of their day to really you use the right word, 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.920 map out or create a blueprint. And that means that 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.880 you are showing up throughout the day and for everybody 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:29.640 who you're going to interact with differently by just setting 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:31.880 aside some time at the very beginning for you. 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:33.520 And that's what I call me mode. 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.800 It's like you put your phone on airplane mode or 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:41.160 you're turning yourself off of autopilot and you're coming into 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:45.760 me mode for just a few minutes, gather yourself, consider 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.040 what you need out of the day, and then move on. 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.800 So effectively, you're basically just simply saying starting a plan. 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.960 And what you're describing also is what I hear from 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.480 tons of people is I interview them on the show 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.320 or podcast or just in general in life that I 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:06.280 interact with. Most people who are successful get up. They're 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.159 up a few hours before they have to do what 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.160 they need to do for their business during the day 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.159 if they have it, they're taking care of themselves. They're exercising, 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.639 and they're doing these different things that help wake them 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:18.000 up and also motivate them as they plan and work 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.359 out their day. It seems like mapping that out just 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:25.159 in general is a successful thing for a business, a corporation, 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.520 or all of us individually, because we all our own 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:30.440 businesses as well, including our health. 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:31.800 Yeah. 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.240 Yeah, absolutely, one hundred percent. I mean, and you're hearing 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:36.080 more and more. 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:40.240 Of some of these super high achievers saying no phones 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.240 for the first hour of the day, or no. 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:43.760 Phones till noon. I mean. 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.440 I do wake up every morning between about five point 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.439 thirty and six to meditate myself and to kind of 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.560 do my morning ritual. Morning is the sweetest time of 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:58.320 the day because it's the least interrupted time of day, 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.040 at least for most of us. We can get more 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:05.280 done for ourselves first. And it is again like the 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.280 old saying goes right, you put the oxygen mask on 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.399 yourself and then you can tend to everyone else. The 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:16.199 problem is that in America we have gotten into a 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.800 bad habit of just waking up and our eyeballs are 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:23.720 in those phones and we're responding to emails and just 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.360 boom boom boom boom boom, putting out everybody else's fires. 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:30.200 But this idea of me mode is really about aligning 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:36.159 with you, yourself, your mind. But it takes self awareness to 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:39.000 do that. And okay, so you might be like, well, 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.960 why do we care about becoming more self aware? Or 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:47.640 how do we become more self aware? That includes reflection, right, 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:51.320 And that's also you giving yourself permission to pause, like 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:55.720 I'm going to allow myself to start my day with 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.680 me because the day is not possible for me without me, right, 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.280 and I'm going to move on. What happens when we're 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:06.639 more self aware, we have clarity and then we have 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:12.080 a responsibility to practice like mindful decision making throughout the day. 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.399 You're not going to be a jerk the more self 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.520 aware you are, and this is also where you build 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:21.719 self trust, and then that comes with redefining freedom and 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:27.080 success and then finally a more aligned life rooted in 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.680 choice rather than obligation or being. 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:33.440 Performative interesting, and I am always with me. I'd like 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.160 to get away from me sometimes, but maybe that's another 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:39.080 part of meditation or something along those lines. Sonya dash 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.840 is zod dot com the website talking to Sonya Zod 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.080 living better and healthier in twenty six that's the goal 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:48.120 with Stirling seven hundred WLW. Is it easier now because 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.520 there are more tools You talk about putting the phone 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.560 down to technology and we are immersed in it and 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:57.040 at this point you've got a generation of those under 0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.080 us that were effectively born with a device in and 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.679 so forth. But with all these bits of resources that 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.440 are out there, in one hand, it's easier to maybe 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:08.960 find that path to getting the information that we need 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.159 to take better care of ourselves to get to the 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:14.120 next level to help those around us. But I hear 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.200 more and more people complaining that all these same elements 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.720 that I just mentioned, as far as tools and opportunity 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:23.000 to improve ourselves, our business, our lives are also a 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:25.840 detriment in what that distraction is. So but that is 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.600 also a choice that we make and how we go 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:29.320 about utilizing these elements. 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:33.159 Yes, yeah, it is all about choice, right, Like so 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.199 many people think they have no choice and they're like 0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:38.800 a prisoner to their minds and a prisoner to the 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:40.159 habits and the patterns. 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:40.560 Of their bodies. 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:43.679 Like oh well, I have to sit here, Okay, Well 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:45.960 when do you not have to sit there? 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:47.919 Or I have to be on the phone? Okay, well 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:49.840 when do you not have to be on the phone? 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:51.840 And what choices are you making to not be on 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:52.320 the phone. 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:55.720 So I think what you're saying is absolutely true and 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:58.760 it is also about balance, right, because yeah. 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:01.359 I just mentioned I mean I teach zoom classes so 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:02.520 that I'm all. 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:06.800 Over the world teaching people remotely. For instance. We use 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:11.000 screens for that, But it's how you use the screens 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:14.560 and then how you balance it when you're not needing 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:19.040 to use them that's really important to look at. And 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:22.720 in your spare time, I'm using air quotes here, spare time, 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:27.000 your free time, are you just binging out vegging out 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:32.320 every day or are you using some of that time Wisely, 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.879 one of my goals right now is to practice French 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:37.400 every day. 0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:38.280 So I use an. 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:42.320 App and I'm on my phone, but that's how I'm 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:45.600 choosing to spend time as opposed to like doom scrolling. 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:48.119 So I see it as a better use of time. 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.960 Even though I'm using technology and I'm not I am 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:54.560 not afraid of biohacking either, so I know there's some 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:56.679 people who are really into it, some who are not. 0:21:57.359 --> 0:21:59.960 I think it's it's great if you can use tech 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:03.960 anology to make your life better, go for it. 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:07.520 I'm talking to Sonya Azad. She's an Emmy winning health journalist. 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:10.640 She's a wellness educator. I feel educator in and wellness already, 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:14.680 and she helps the overwhelmed and over committed reclaim their time, 0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:16.480 in other words, take their lives back, which I think 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:19.480 most of us need to do in some fashion. Some 0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:21.600 of this is related to resolutions in the New Year, 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:23.920 which is why we had you on, Sonya. But I'm 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:26.800 kind of curious because I've heard people go, oh, I 0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:28.400 think resolutions are dangerous. 0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:29.000 I don't like them. 0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:31.119 I feel bad after the first month of trying to 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:32.959 go to the gym it's not working out, And then 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:35.480 I have a lot of self hate issues. And I 0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:37.800 hear that said in a whole bunch of different ways 0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:40.240 by people all the time. So what do you say 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:42.240 to someone who you know, maybe they don't want to 0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:44.760 use the term resolution or new beginning in the new year, 0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:46.960 But what can you say to someone who's in that 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:48.760 window that I just described? 0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:53.200 Yeah, sure, Like look, I think anchoring through a word, 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:55.800 which is what we talked about, that's going to resonate 0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:59.600 with you is more important than the word resolution. And 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:02.480 if you don't want to go to the gym every day, 0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:06.520 then that should not be your resolution, you know what 0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:06.880 I mean? 0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:09.880 So, like, do something that is going to not just. 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:15.240 Performatively impact your life, like because you think you should 0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:18.440 do it. I usually say, like, stop shoulting all over yourself. 0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:19.600 But what is it. 0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:21.960 That What is it that the gym is going to 0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:25.040 do that you think will make your life better? 0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:26.720 Is it going to give you more energy? 0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:27.159 Well? 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:28.920 What else could give you more energy? 0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:32.480 Maybe it's actually plugging into nature outside a little nature hit, 0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:37.240 or what if speaking to an old friend who gives 0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:40.119 you energy it's going to energize you, right, So you 0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:43.280 have to think about the why behind the what. 0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:45.320 It is that you're doing. 0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:48.359 And then also I think one of the biggest mistakes 0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:50.680 or most common mistakes I see people make at the 0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:53.360 beginning of the year for resolutions is that they're trying 0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:57.560 to pile on so much new stuff. Instead, maybe you 0:23:57.600 --> 0:24:01.919 think about taking something away. If you're like, oh, I've 0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:05.840 already you know, taken away everything. I'm not drinking you know, 0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:09.840 dry January and I'm not eating red meat and I'm 0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:12.560 not doing this, and I'm not doing that. Then add something, 0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:16.879 add a meditation at right. So it's got to be customized. 0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:18.479 And this is why I go back to the idea 0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:22.080 of working with a professional or an expert, because it 0:24:22.200 --> 0:24:24.960 is overwhelming to try to do it yourself, and especially 0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:28.440 if you want it to last this time. It absolutely 0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:30.720 can because I've seen people, and I've worked with people 0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:34.640 who now have lost seventy pounds or forty pounds. They're 0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:40.400 journaling every day, they're meditating, their relationships are stronger with 0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:43.760 their children and with their spouses, they're out hiking in nature. 0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:46.040 They're like, oh my gosh, who am I? And these 0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.760 are not twenty or thirty year olds. These are people 0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:52.359 in their fifties sixties. Like you think your brain cannot 0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:56.680 change in older life, it absolutely can. What it takes 0:24:56.800 --> 0:25:02.080 is consistency, discipline, patience, and time. And now we're circling 0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:05.160 back to again that same idea of well, how does 0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:07.760 meditation help? Like, what does meditation have to do with 0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:12.320 all this? It's these little moments of nervous system resets 0:25:12.760 --> 0:25:16.560 that triggers the parasympathetic response. So you're in rest and 0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:22.800 digest Physiologically, your heart rate is lowered, your muscles unclench, 0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:28.760 your cortisol, that stress hormone decreases, oxygen increases, and we're 0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:32.440 shifting your brain wave state from beta to theta so 0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:38.400 that alertness that stress to Okay, I can relax, I'm safe. 0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:39.880 So doing that. 0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:43.399 Over and over and over and over again is what 0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:49.280 creates the patterns and the habits and the neuroplasticity, the 0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:52.240 changes in the brain to go, oh, you know what, 0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:53.920 I am going to pick up that apple and I'm 0:25:53.920 --> 0:25:56.920 not going to pick up the Twizzlers or whatever. If again, 0:25:57.600 --> 0:26:00.359 if that's where you're going with it, doesn't have to be. 0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:02.920 I like my twizzlers and the red vines, but that's 0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:05.560 a whole nother story, and they're not the same. There 0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:07.800 is a difference, no matter what anybody tells you. Sonia 0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:10.679 Azad is a great talking to you. I appreciate you 0:26:10.720 --> 0:26:13.000 bringing it, and I hope you have a fantastic new year. 0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:14.960 I don't understand half of what you're saying, but I 0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:17.760 feel good about it. I know the website's a great resource. 0:26:18.000 --> 0:26:19.960 Will lean on you in the future, at least I'm honest. 0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:22.680 I'm just telling you Beta Alf for the theta, I 0:26:22.720 --> 0:26:26.280 don't even know, but either way, I feel good. Sonia 0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:28.879 dash Azod dot com. I'll put it up on my 0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:31.080 ex at Sterling Radio too. Thank you so much for 0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:32.320 doing what you do.

Michael, 0:27:31.840 --> 0:27:34.520 How are you? How's everything? How are the holidays for 0:27:34.600 --> 0:27:35.080 the family? 0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:37.480 Wall good Man. 0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:40.159 I just went to Alabama to visit my sister and 0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:42.719 her kids, and like, my folks are here too, and 0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:46.240 so yeah, just just doing doing a family style for 0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:47.240 the holidays, like a lot. 0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:47.560 Of people are. 0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:49.560 Yeah, family style is the good way to do it. 0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:52.359 I've done it solo. I know, I've been isolated with 0:27:52.480 --> 0:27:54.359 work and unable to go anywhere, and I like it 0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:56.560 better with family and friends, for sure. So I'm glad 0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:59.480 you got to enjoy that. I appreciate you making time 0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:03.960 if we can before we look fully back at twenty 0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:06.439 five and start looking at twenty six with the new 0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:08.560 year just a couple of days away. Mike, I'm kind 0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:13.000 of curious because I heard this earlier in the news 0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:15.480 and I was somewhat I don't know why I was surprised. 0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:19.680 I guess it makes sense, but apparently Iran had three 0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:23.880 different satellites that were jettisoned or sent up to space 0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:26.240 with the help of Russia on a rocket of theirs. 0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:28.639 What do we know about that? How often does that 0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:30.880 type of thing happen? I'm guessing since they don't use 0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:34.000 the International Space Station or SpaceX, they got to get 0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:35.240 their gear up there somehow. 0:28:36.840 --> 0:28:40.040 Yeah, I'm not sure about particular launch, but it isn't 0:28:40.120 --> 0:28:44.760 that uncommon for a country that doesn't have like great 0:28:44.880 --> 0:28:48.160 kind of homegrown launch scrupability. Like actually Iran does have 0:28:48.360 --> 0:28:52.000 orbital rockets, but they're not like all that great they 0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:56.000 They're success rate is not that great compared to like 0:28:56.080 --> 0:28:58.920 the US or China, Russia. So when you have a 0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:01.400 situation like that and you can can sign up to 0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:03.760 put your satellites on in other country's rocket, and you 0:29:03.800 --> 0:29:07.440 know it's part of the space kind of the space 0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:11.080 industry ecosystem, you know, where you pay somebody to send 0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:13.280 your satellites up, and you know they're a pria state. 0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:15.480 But Russia is kind of a pria state too, so 0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:16.760 they can do business with each other. 0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:20.240 I guess it's kind of odd because as much as 0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:22.920 Russia on one hand has talked about as our enemy, 0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:25.600 we certainly with the International Space Station a lot of 0:29:25.640 --> 0:29:28.560 other ways we are engaged with them in some fashion. 0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:30.560 I guess that's healthy. Maybe there's a reason for that, 0:29:30.680 --> 0:29:33.840 it's maybe safer. I'm not really sure how that plays 0:29:33.840 --> 0:29:36.680 out or why do you know the psychology behind that 0:29:36.800 --> 0:29:39.920 or the business of that, because China is not a 0:29:39.960 --> 0:29:41.960 part of the stuff that we do, and they are 0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:43.800 certainly a big power of their own and they're in 0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:44.680 the space game too. 0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:47.760 Yeah, I mean, I would guess that. 0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:52.280 Russia, I mean, ever since the invasion of Ukraine in 0:29:52.360 --> 0:29:56.560 twenty twenty two, I think that they've been hurting for money. 0:29:56.240 --> 0:29:57.840 Coming into their space sector. 0:29:57.880 --> 0:29:59.680 You know, they've had to use so many resources for 0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:02.920 the world or and they've lost a lot of partnerships 0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:06.080 in this space world because of the invasion, the ongoing war, 0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:09.080 so they just haven't had as many contracts. Their contracts 0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:12.440 have been severed and pulled. So I guess they want 0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:14.960 to keep their rockets flying and keep money coming into 0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:17.720 their their space business. They're kind of they're kind of 0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:20.160 having to look farther afield. You know, they aren't working 0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:23.680 with the European Space Agency on some big, big certain 0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:27.200 projects that they that they were like before the invasion. 0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:29.040 You know, a lot of those those contracts got pulled 0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:31.720 because of the invasion, so they're trying to make that 0:30:31.760 --> 0:30:32.160 money up. 0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:33.280 I'm I'm just speculating. 0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:35.040 You know, I don't have any inside information about that. 0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:37.440 Oh, I mean hanging out with the Russians and the Iranians. 0:30:37.440 --> 0:30:40.440 I totally I understand. It's the holiday. You've been in 0:30:40.440 --> 0:30:44.040 Alabama with family. I totally get it. Stirly talking to 0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:47.120 mikey Wall from space dot com something that I was 0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:50.440 amazed about, and we didn't talk last week. Uh, but 0:30:50.520 --> 0:30:53.719 the pictures were spectacular and there you know, there were 0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:57.840 all these talks about the litigation. Aircraft were apparently directed 0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:01.600 away from certain types of airspace or certain spots when 0:31:01.640 --> 0:31:05.960 there was some debris coming down from lower Earth orbit stuff. 0:31:05.960 --> 0:31:09.040 I guess SpaceX related. But then I see a story 0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:12.200 that you published talking about twelve different times in the 0:31:12.280 --> 0:31:15.760 last year, effectively where rockets and space craft have actually 0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:19.200 crashed and burned up, whether by accident, delivered in tent 0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:22.600 or natural. I guess attrition by the nature of orbit 0:31:22.640 --> 0:31:23.360 and how it works. 0:31:23.720 --> 0:31:26.560 Is that a lot? Twelve times helped me understand? 0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:30.120 Yeah, I don't think it's a lot. It's just because 0:31:30.160 --> 0:31:32.239 there's a lot more activity now than there used to be. 0:31:32.280 --> 0:31:34.760 There's a lot more stuff going up, and more and 0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:38.000 more countries and more companies are getting bolder and trying 0:31:38.000 --> 0:31:40.320 to do stuff, you know, and space is hard, and 0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:42.840 sometimes we try something hard it doesn't work, you know, 0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:45.400 some of the like we yeah, I think what you're 0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:47.960 talking about as our sort of failures of twenty twenty 0:31:47.960 --> 0:31:50.080 five story. But sure, I mean some of those, you know, 0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:53.640 we like, we saw some private companies tribe but fail 0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:57.240 to land on the Moon, and that's sort of yes, 0:31:57.280 --> 0:32:00.440 it's a failure as a private company gets it it's 0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:04.280 moonlander to lunar orbit and doesn't kind of finish it 0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:06.640 off at the soft landing a successful soft landing, But 0:32:07.040 --> 0:32:08.880 it's pretty cool that they made it to lunar orbit 0:32:08.920 --> 0:32:10.480 and that they built the thing in the first place, 0:32:10.520 --> 0:32:12.600 and that they got it that far, you know, where 0:32:12.680 --> 0:32:14.840 it failed at the very last possible moment. So I 0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:17.200 think part of it is, Yeah, there's just a lot 0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:19.760 more happening and there's a lot more players in the 0:32:19.800 --> 0:32:21.640 space business than there used to be, so we're going 0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:23.680 to see more stuff going up and you'll see more 0:32:23.680 --> 0:32:27.040 stuff failing as a result. But yeah, they're like there's 0:32:27.080 --> 0:32:30.120 always like the sort of standard you know, like you know, 0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:33.080 there are a few rockets that blow up, that fail 0:32:33.160 --> 0:32:35.520 on the way up to orbit, and that's just part 0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:36.280 of the space business. 0:32:36.320 --> 0:32:37.680 You know, it's just hard. 0:32:38.000 --> 0:32:41.040 There's like thousands of different parts to rocket, millions of 0:32:41.160 --> 0:32:43.800 parts basically, and thousands of things that can go wrong, 0:32:43.880 --> 0:32:45.840 and like most of the time everything goes right, but 0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:48.040 if one thing goes wrong, the thing's done. 0:32:48.120 --> 0:32:49.520 And that's what we see every year. 0:32:49.960 --> 0:32:53.160 We kind of I mean as a kid growing up, 0:32:53.360 --> 0:32:55.360 and we've talked about this before. I mean, we saw 0:32:55.400 --> 0:32:58.920 the Space Shuttle, you know, in the eighties and into 0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:01.600 the nineties, and I mean it was seemingly going up 0:33:01.600 --> 0:33:04.440 almost weekly, which is maybe an exaggeration. It kind of 0:33:04.440 --> 0:33:07.120 seems that way now with SpaceX and everything else. But 0:33:07.200 --> 0:33:09.560 there are private endeavors now that are a part of 0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:12.280 it too that you just mentioned that we've talked about. So, 0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:15.560 I mean, at this point, are the nation states who 0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:18.080 were involved, Like I know, we talked about Russia. We 0:33:18.120 --> 0:33:20.320 know that we're the United States. We've been in it 0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:23.120 for the long haul. China's in it, India is in it. 0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:25.440 Japan has some stuff. I don't know if they go 0:33:25.520 --> 0:33:27.400 up on their own or if it's just related to 0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:31.280 space station stuff South Korea, and I did not know this, 0:33:31.360 --> 0:33:33.840 and I did a little research before I was prepared 0:33:33.840 --> 0:33:35.040 to talk to you, believe it or not. I know, 0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:38.920 you're like shocking, but the UAE, the United Arab Emirates 0:33:38.960 --> 0:33:42.280 as well. Are there any other countries that are actually 0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:47.080 out there involved in it as a nation itself? Because 0:33:47.120 --> 0:33:49.360 I know there are a whole lot of different businesses 0:33:49.440 --> 0:33:53.040 that may be under different flags, but the private business 0:33:53.120 --> 0:33:53.760 is huge too. 0:33:55.360 --> 0:33:57.240 Yeah, there are a lot of there are a lot of 0:33:57.280 --> 0:34:01.240 countries that are are that have kind of orbital launch capability, 0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:03.440 but so they're even more that are that are trying 0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:06.360 to get there, you know, like and they're they're they're 0:34:06.400 --> 0:34:08.880 increasingly private companies that are trying to do that. 0:34:08.920 --> 0:34:09.120 You know. 0:34:09.200 --> 0:34:13.120 One of the crash and burn stories just happened like like. 0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:13.839 A week or so ago. 0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:17.560 This yeah, yeah, this, like South Green Company into Space 0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:22.000 tried to launch their first orbital rocket and it failed 0:34:22.000 --> 0:34:25.080 about a minute after liftoff. And that's not at all surprising. 0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:25.239 You know. 0:34:25.320 --> 0:34:27.480 Most of the time, like the first flight of a 0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:30.040 rocket doesn't go well because it takes time to work 0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:32.600 the kinks out and like really figure out what you're 0:34:32.640 --> 0:34:36.160 doing so, and yeah, that's really what we've seen a lot, 0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:37.880 I think in the last ten years. I think the 0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:41.640 two main kind of kind of takeaways of the last 0:34:41.640 --> 0:34:44.719 ten years the rise of China getting more ambitious and 0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:48.160 more more accomplished in space, and the rise of sort 0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:50.400 of private companies. And it's it's like not just space 0:34:50.440 --> 0:34:52.280 like you know, space like is the most obvious example. 0:34:52.360 --> 0:34:55.920 They launched like one hundred and sixty six orbital missions 0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:57.680 this year or something like that. It's just out of control. 0:34:57.760 --> 0:35:00.839 It's almost one every other day. But there are other 0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:03.120 companies too that are trying to do it, and like 0:35:03.239 --> 0:35:06.399 not just in the US, they're around the world. So yeah, 0:35:06.440 --> 0:35:09.080 it's it's it is changing. We've seen a lot of 0:35:09.080 --> 0:35:11.480 stuff happening, and that's on't make an next cleerate going forward. 0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:12.360 Talking to Mike D. 0:35:12.440 --> 0:35:15.720 Wall from space dot Com at Stirling seven hundred WLW 0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:19.919 in twenty six, if we look ahead and maybe there's 0:35:19.920 --> 0:35:21.840 something in twenty five that I didn't give you a 0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:24.920 chance to sort of sound off on, but looking ahead 0:35:24.920 --> 0:35:27.000 and anything else you want to bring, what should we 0:35:27.080 --> 0:35:31.000 expect Because we talked about the militarization of space more 0:35:31.120 --> 0:35:34.680 so we know obviously Space Force does their stuff. We've 0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:37.040 talked about, you know, these orbiters or these ships that 0:35:37.080 --> 0:35:39.520 have been up there unmanned, that we're up there for 0:35:39.560 --> 0:35:42.239 an extended period of time previously that we don't know 0:35:42.280 --> 0:35:44.920 a lot about. We know it was sort of military related, 0:35:44.960 --> 0:35:48.319 and we really don't necessarily know. Maybe our CIA does, 0:35:48.400 --> 0:35:51.520 maybe Space Force whatever about what the Russians or other 0:35:51.640 --> 0:35:54.000 nation states are doing too. But there's a lot going 0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:56.839 on on a regular basis. What in the next six 0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:59.040 months or a year should we be aware of, aside 0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:00.960 from maybe the Aliens saying hello. 0:36:02.880 --> 0:36:06.600 Yeah, no that that's that's that's always something to keep 0:36:06.640 --> 0:36:08.680 thinking about. And maybe a y Is will contact us 0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:10.279 this year. I mean, it hasn't happened yet, but there's 0:36:10.280 --> 0:36:13.239 the first time for everything. But like, I think that 0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:17.200 the the the kind of two biggest things about twenty 0:36:17.239 --> 0:36:20.560 twenty six, and there's a lot obviously people have different opinions, 0:36:20.600 --> 0:36:23.759 but you know, like one is going to be Artemis two, 0:36:24.000 --> 0:36:27.600 which is the first crude mission around the Moon or 0:36:27.640 --> 0:36:30.240 to the area of the Moon since the Apollo days. 0:36:30.800 --> 0:36:33.400 So that's a NASA mission. It's the first kind of 0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:36.480 astronaut mission of the Artemist program, which aims to take 0:36:36.520 --> 0:36:38.440 astnauts back to the Moon and to set up the 0:36:38.440 --> 0:36:41.600 moon base near the South Pole. And so that's that 0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:45.200 could lift off as as early as February fifth, I believe, 0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:48.560 And it's it's like it's not going to put asnats on. 0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:49.960 The Moon or even in the lunar orbit. 0:36:50.000 --> 0:36:51.719 They're going to loop around the Moon and come back, 0:36:51.719 --> 0:36:54.040 but it's sort of like a shakeout cruise of the 0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:57.080 hardware that we that we need to like go and 0:36:57.120 --> 0:36:59.279 build like a lunar base and stuff like that, which 0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:01.920 the Artemist, which the Utemous program wants to do. So 0:37:01.960 --> 0:37:04.839 that's that's a big deal, and it's it's coming up, 0:37:05.120 --> 0:37:07.600 I don't know theoretically in the like in the next 0:37:07.719 --> 0:37:08.640 kind of month or so. 0:37:08.680 --> 0:37:09.480 Which is crazy. 0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:12.799 And the other thing I think is the kind of 0:37:12.840 --> 0:37:16.760 continued development of SpaceX, the Starship Mega rocket, the Giant 0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:19.840 Mars rocket that they've been working on for a while 0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:22.960 now and have flown like eleven test flights of including 0:37:22.960 --> 0:37:26.440 five test flights this past year, So there's an outside 0:37:26.520 --> 0:37:29.800 Chancey and Muscus said that they might even try to 0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:33.279 launch like the first kind kind of robotic missions to 0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:36.520 Mars with Starship this come in the fall of twenty 0:37:36.600 --> 0:37:39.919 twenty six. I think that's probably too ambitious, but it's 0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:42.440 a possibility if everything goes well with test flights and 0:37:42.880 --> 0:37:44.560 they have a lot of work left to do. They 0:37:44.640 --> 0:37:46.319 still need to get the thing to Earth orbit. It 0:37:46.320 --> 0:37:48.720 hasn't been to orbit yet. They need to do things 0:37:48.760 --> 0:37:52.760 like they've got to do kind of fuel transfer in space, 0:37:53.320 --> 0:37:55.239 because when you get these things up to Earth orbit, 0:37:55.280 --> 0:37:58.399 you have to refuel them the giant Starship spacecraft part 0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:01.040 of the Starship rocket then and send it on to 0:38:01.120 --> 0:38:03.640 the Moon or Tomorrow's you have to do that with 0:38:03.640 --> 0:38:06.480 with orbital refueling, and they need to do that, so 0:38:06.520 --> 0:38:07.880 that there's a lot of things they have to do. 0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:10.080 But we're going to see them try to do a 0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:13.040 lot of that stuff this coming year. So that'll be 0:38:13.080 --> 0:38:15.160 really interesting too to see how far they can get 0:38:15.880 --> 0:38:17.640 Starship development in the next. 0:38:17.520 --> 0:38:18.239 Twelve months or so. 0:38:18.840 --> 0:38:22.560 Mikedywallfromspace dot Com was stirling on seven hundred WLW. Now, 0:38:23.239 --> 0:38:26.000 when they do the refueling, I mean we're not talking 0:38:26.000 --> 0:38:28.640 about people actually doing it, say like when the Air 0:38:28.680 --> 0:38:32.360 Force refuels you know fighter jets or you know bombers, 0:38:32.600 --> 0:38:34.680 is they're going, you know, on the other side of 0:38:34.719 --> 0:38:38.040 the Earth or something, are we and those are man flights, 0:38:38.080 --> 0:38:41.000 But I know that there's autonomous landing of regular aircraft. 0:38:41.000 --> 0:38:43.600 One just happened, you know here on Tara Firma the 0:38:43.680 --> 0:38:45.640 last week or so, which I thought was pretty wild 0:38:46.120 --> 0:38:48.239 and it was a pretty important life saving kind of 0:38:48.320 --> 0:38:51.560 endeavor there. But with space stuff, how much of this 0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:53.200 is going to be at the hand of someone in 0:38:53.239 --> 0:38:55.840 a joystick or a steering wheel or whatever it is 0:38:55.960 --> 0:38:59.160 that a pilot uses compared to just sort of autonomously 0:38:59.560 --> 0:39:02.560 coordinate and the computer doing the work is somebody is 0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:05.160 you know, buckled up and hoping that everything goes right 0:39:05.200 --> 0:39:06.080 to get where they're going. 0:39:07.600 --> 0:39:11.160 Yeah, all the refueling stuff will be that'll be like autonomous. 0:39:11.200 --> 0:39:13.600 You know, they're not going to need somebody directing things. 0:39:13.640 --> 0:39:16.480 It's going to be well, like I don't know they're 0:39:16.640 --> 0:39:19.400 they're like, well'll like need to be people on board 0:39:19.480 --> 0:39:21.359 the starship to do that. You know, it might be 0:39:21.440 --> 0:39:23.400 by people directing it from the ground, but it's an 0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:26.919 uncrewed spacecraft and all of that stuff will be done 0:39:27.040 --> 0:39:28.279 without people on board. 0:39:28.320 --> 0:39:29.920 It doesn't need to have people on board. 0:39:29.680 --> 0:39:33.920 Because the Yeah, the overall vision for SpaceX eventually is 0:39:33.960 --> 0:39:36.920 to have starship take people to Mars. But yeah, you 0:39:36.960 --> 0:39:39.680 don't need people on board to do refueling, and it's 0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:42.799 the like refueling thing. It's it's it's a pretty big 0:39:42.840 --> 0:39:44.040 deal because you're probably going to. 0:39:44.080 --> 0:39:46.160 Need like like. 0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:48.880 Like they've never said exactly how many refueling trips to that, 0:39:49.160 --> 0:39:50.680 like you're going to need to go to deep space 0:39:50.719 --> 0:39:54.160 of these things, but it could be around ten. So 0:39:54.320 --> 0:39:56.880 for every mission that you launched through the Moon or 0:39:56.960 --> 0:40:00.239 to Mars, you might need to launch like eleven starship 0:40:00.360 --> 0:40:03.080 to do the refueling to fuel up like the one 0:40:03.120 --> 0:40:07.359 that's going far Afield. So that's why when SpaceX talks 0:40:07.360 --> 0:40:09.799 about needing to launch lots of these things and to 0:40:09.880 --> 0:40:11.719 have them just flying off the pad all the time, 0:40:11.760 --> 0:40:14.200 part of that's because you're going to need to launch 0:40:14.239 --> 0:40:16.840 a bunch just to fuel up, like the ones that 0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:19.359 are going to Mars or to the Moon. So it 0:40:19.400 --> 0:40:22.880 is it's really something that we haven't seen before that 0:40:22.880 --> 0:40:27.680 that strategy and that ambition, just like how many kind 0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:29.680 of starships are going to need to be to be 0:40:29.760 --> 0:40:32.600 going to orbit to make this vision come true. 0:40:32.840 --> 0:40:35.600 That's an amazing undertaking. I mean, it's effectively what you're 0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:38.600 describing as a relay race, except as these monster sized 0:40:38.680 --> 0:40:40.919 rockets that will be going a little bit further each 0:40:41.000 --> 0:40:43.520 time on that journey so that they can refuel that 0:40:43.560 --> 0:40:45.480 thing and let it get where it's going. That I 0:40:45.520 --> 0:40:47.840 mean that there are a lot of different areas for 0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:52.480 somebody to effectively drop the proverbial baton that. That's I mean, 0:40:52.520 --> 0:40:54.439 that's a lot of science and a lot of luck, 0:40:55.160 --> 0:40:57.680 or maybe just by the design, right, I mean, I 0:40:57.719 --> 0:41:00.000 just see a whole lot of possibilities of things going south. 0:41:01.600 --> 0:41:04.560 Yeah, it's like it is. It is a complicated design. 0:41:04.600 --> 0:41:06.960 You know, they'll they'll be like, so yeah, you'll like 0:41:07.080 --> 0:41:09.320 launch the moon bound starship. 0:41:09.400 --> 0:41:11.560 Say that it's a two stage vehicle. 0:41:11.600 --> 0:41:13.840 You know, each starship has a giant first stage booster 0:41:14.360 --> 0:41:17.200 called super heavy and an upper stage spacecraft which they. 0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:18.280 Call starship or just ship. 0:41:18.760 --> 0:41:21.360 So how it'll work is, you know, like you'll launch, 0:41:22.239 --> 0:41:24.840 You'll launch ship like like a board super heavy. The 0:41:24.880 --> 0:41:27.080 super Heavy will come back down to the grounds and 0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:30.000 land and be reused whatever that. The ship will say 0:41:30.120 --> 0:41:32.799 stay in Earth orbit and it will meet up up there. 0:41:32.880 --> 0:41:35.319 There'll be like say they launched ten missions to Earth 0:41:35.400 --> 0:41:39.160 orbit kind of sequentially with with other ships and other 0:41:39.239 --> 0:41:42.239 super heavies. And so you'll send these tanker craft to 0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:44.000 meet up with this one moon bound ship. 0:41:44.040 --> 0:41:46.279 It's not going to be like going to the Moon yet. 0:41:46.280 --> 0:41:46.840 It won't do that. 0:41:46.920 --> 0:41:49.680 Till it's already been refueled by these like ten tanker missions, 0:41:49.760 --> 0:41:53.000 until its tank is totally full, which it will be 0:41:53.040 --> 0:41:54.719 in our orbit. It's not going to start that trip 0:41:54.719 --> 0:41:57.080 to the moon yet until it's been like until its 0:41:57.120 --> 0:42:00.680 tanks have been topped up with these tanker missions, and 0:42:00.719 --> 0:42:03.600 then it'll go. So, yeah, they're necessarily going to be 0:42:03.640 --> 0:42:05.520 going farther and then have to meet up with another 0:42:05.560 --> 0:42:06.719 one that they get farther along. 0:42:06.760 --> 0:42:09.200 They're they're going to have to kind of sit. 0:42:09.080 --> 0:42:12.120 Tight in our orbit until they get enough fuel from 0:42:12.120 --> 0:42:13.360 all these tankermissions. 0:42:13.560 --> 0:42:14.960 It is yeah, it is crazy. 0:42:15.000 --> 0:42:17.719 We I mean a crazy meaning kind of wild and 0:42:17.760 --> 0:42:18.880 something we haven't seen before. 0:42:19.080 --> 0:42:21.440 It's not actually crazy. The space is very good at 0:42:21.480 --> 0:42:21.799 these things. 0:42:21.920 --> 0:42:24.720 Well, I think it's amazing the work, but it's just 0:42:24.719 --> 0:42:27.200 just a major undertaking in the plane and that goes 0:42:27.239 --> 0:42:29.600 into it. And that makes more sense what you described 0:42:29.640 --> 0:42:31.560 than what I was envisioning at first, so that you know, 0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:33.359 it's just because I'm not real bright. 0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:36.000 Sometimes it's all right, No, it. 0:42:36.400 --> 0:42:38.680 Is something that we haven't seen before, this kind of strategy, 0:42:38.719 --> 0:42:41.319 So it's it isn't weird to not have a full 0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:42.439 picture of it in your head yet. 0:42:42.640 --> 0:42:45.080 Well, anything else in twenty six you expect, or maybe 0:42:45.080 --> 0:42:47.879 that wild card thing that we might be surprised by 0:42:47.960 --> 0:42:49.799 to expect in twenty six. 0:42:50.280 --> 0:42:52.719 Or what, Yeah, I guess. 0:42:52.719 --> 0:42:55.480 I mean, I think that stuff with the Starship, if 0:42:55.480 --> 0:42:59.920 they do manage to do orbital flights with Starship and refuel, 0:43:00.440 --> 0:43:04.520 if they demonstrate that. The kind of most ambitious, most 0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:08.400 exciting outcome is maybe when the like when the window 0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:11.120 to launch a Mars mission opens up in like October November, 0:43:11.160 --> 0:43:13.319 because Earth and Mars are the only line up for 0:43:14.160 --> 0:43:17.600 Mars launches for our spacecraft like every twenty six months, 0:43:17.600 --> 0:43:20.879 and next time that'll happen is the fall of twenty six. 0:43:21.280 --> 0:43:24.160 There's an outside chance that we could see like Starship 0:43:24.200 --> 0:43:26.640 missions to Mars this year, which would be really crazy. 0:43:27.320 --> 0:43:28.600 I wouldn't hold my breath on that. 0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:30.719 Well, yeah, that's that's that's possible. 0:43:30.920 --> 0:43:33.440 That's the amazing And then maybe then the you know, 0:43:33.480 --> 0:43:35.840 the Martians go, hey, wait a minute, we've been waiting 0:43:35.880 --> 0:43:38.000 for you, and that could really get weird. 0:43:38.239 --> 0:43:39.439 But you know it'll be a one. 0:43:39.480 --> 0:43:41.120 Well, I could get weird in lots of ways too. 0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:42.959 I mean a lot of scientists are not happy about 0:43:43.000 --> 0:43:45.600 this because we're going to send it. I mean, if 0:43:45.600 --> 0:43:47.960 we send starships there, like a fleet of them, maybe 0:43:48.480 --> 0:43:51.000 six or eight of them, and they're so big that 0:43:51.160 --> 0:43:54.440 they like they can't be kind of sterilized and the 0:43:54.880 --> 0:43:57.279 like the way that like Mars Rover gets sterilized by 0:43:57.360 --> 0:43:58.440 NASA before it launches. 0:43:59.080 --> 0:44:00.680 So anything we sent there. 0:44:00.560 --> 0:44:02.680 From spacelex is probably going to be carrying a bunch 0:44:02.719 --> 0:44:05.520 of microbes and they'll get down on Mars and it'll 0:44:05.520 --> 0:44:08.680 make it harder for scientists to determine if if there 0:44:08.719 --> 0:44:12.200 is life on Mars, whether it's indigenous life that evolved 0:44:12.239 --> 0:44:14.200 on Mars or whether we took it with us on 0:44:14.200 --> 0:44:17.080 our spaceships. It's going to be there are a lot 0:44:17.080 --> 0:44:19.920 of people who are upset about this, about how kind 0:44:19.920 --> 0:44:22.560 of private missions to Mars, colonization, all this stuff that's 0:44:22.600 --> 0:44:25.560 going to make it really hard to figure out what's 0:44:25.600 --> 0:44:27.120 going on with the search family in life. 0:44:27.200 --> 0:44:30.399 If if like if life did evolve more than once. 0:44:30.440 --> 0:44:32.840 If yeah, I mean if we find microbes on Mars, 0:44:33.160 --> 0:44:34.240 like are they Martian microbes? 0:44:34.440 --> 0:44:35.560 Did or did we bring them? 0:44:35.719 --> 0:44:35.919 See? 0:44:36.120 --> 0:44:38.160 Yeah, these are huge questions to ponder. And then the 0:44:38.239 --> 0:44:40.040 question is maybe there's something there that we don't even 0:44:40.120 --> 0:44:42.440 understand yet. And then it gets mad because we brought 0:44:42.440 --> 0:44:44.480 our you know, it didn't wipe our shoes that they 0:44:44.840 --> 0:44:47.360 on the mat at the door. I mean, it was 0:44:47.400 --> 0:44:49.680 just effectively what you're talking about it and then who 0:44:49.680 --> 0:44:50.640 knows what they send back? 0:44:50.680 --> 0:44:51.480 I mean, who knows. 0:44:52.200 --> 0:44:53.959 It's always great to talk to you, and it makes 0:44:54.000 --> 0:44:57.040 my head hurt often, you know, thinking about the possibilities ahead. 0:44:57.040 --> 0:44:58.839 But I appreciate what you do and it's a great 0:44:58.880 --> 0:45:01.440 resource and good reading, all always videos and all kinds 0:45:01.480 --> 0:45:02.279 of other stuff there too. 0:45:02.360 --> 0:45:03.520 Space dot Com. 0:45:03.560 --> 0:45:06.520 Michael Wall, thank you so much for doing what you do, 0:45:07.040 --> 0:45:09.200 and I hope you have a fantastic in new year. 0:45:11.920 --> 0:45:14.719 Happy new Year, take care of yourself, more sterling coming back. 0:45:14.920 --> 0:45:17.439 You can find out more Space dot com straight away. 0:45:17.600 --> 0:45:19.799 You got your ten thirty report. A lot of other 0:45:19.880 --> 0:45:22.840 ground to cover, including your best and worst for twenty 0:45:22.880 --> 0:45:25.000 five and what you expect in twenty six. It's a 0:45:25.000 --> 0:45:29.560 Monday Sterling for Gary Jeff on seven hundred WLW. Hey, 0:45:29.560 --> 0:45:32.160 how you doing at Sterling? Hanging out fine Monday night, 0:45:32.280 --> 0:45:39.640 seven hundreds W. James Rapine Allbengals dot Com, Lockdown Bengal. 0:45:39.960 --> 0:45:44.279 He's everywhere. I heard him here, James. First of all, 0:45:44.280 --> 0:45:45.759 thank you for making time. I know it's been a 0:45:45.880 --> 0:45:49.440 crazy long couple of days. Sunday Bengals all over the Cardinals. 0:45:49.440 --> 0:45:51.480 It's who we expected and what we expected of the 0:45:51.520 --> 0:45:55.000 Bengals all season, but Joe's toe injuries and a lot 0:45:55.040 --> 0:45:56.879 of other stuff sort of plays into what has been 0:45:56.920 --> 0:46:00.920 almost a It hasn't been a lost season, I guess, 0:46:01.280 --> 0:46:05.360 but it is definitely a frustrating kind of situation. But 0:46:05.480 --> 0:46:08.000 we have seen some development of guys, hopefully who will 0:46:08.120 --> 0:46:09.759 even be better next year. 0:46:09.880 --> 0:46:17.719 Yes, it's me Helpstow, and I think that's the positive 0:46:17.920 --> 0:46:20.000 so far, if you want to take a positive out 0:46:20.040 --> 0:46:24.520 of the past few games. I'm not sure I've learned 0:46:24.560 --> 0:46:27.000 anything on the offensive side, right, And I get it 0:46:27.200 --> 0:46:30.440 meaningless and all of those things, but these nuts do 0:46:30.560 --> 0:46:31.760 matter to Miles Murphy. 0:46:32.040 --> 0:46:33.480 You know, he's in his third. 0:46:33.239 --> 0:46:36.600 Season and former first round pick, and he continues to 0:46:37.040 --> 0:46:41.560 play the best football of his NFL career. These snuts 0:46:41.560 --> 0:46:45.160 do matter to Dax Hill, who, like Murphy, is showing 0:46:45.160 --> 0:46:48.880 that he probably should have been utilized much sooner in 0:46:49.000 --> 0:46:53.520 his tenure. And they're utilized in a different way. And 0:46:53.920 --> 0:46:56.320 DJ Turner has come on, and so those are three 0:46:56.440 --> 0:46:59.680 building blocks. And I'm tough in saying that that those 0:46:59.680 --> 0:47:04.640 are blocks because they flash mid year and you're like, okay, 0:47:04.719 --> 0:47:06.960 well will that continue. Well, Dax has been one of 0:47:07.000 --> 0:47:09.440 the best corners in football over the past five to 0:47:09.520 --> 0:47:13.960 six weeks. DJ Turner has been really steady in a 0:47:14.040 --> 0:47:17.239 high level foreigner guarding the best receiver on the other 0:47:17.280 --> 0:47:19.000 team for more than two months. 0:47:19.239 --> 0:47:20.520 And then you have a. 0:47:20.440 --> 0:47:23.960 Guy Miles Murphy who just seems to make two to 0:47:24.040 --> 0:47:28.800 three splash plays a game, tackles for lost sacks, big plays, 0:47:28.840 --> 0:47:31.759 big disruptions. And so all three of those guys I 0:47:31.800 --> 0:47:35.400 think have developed this season, but really over the past 0:47:35.400 --> 0:47:38.759 few months to be key pieces of a defense that's 0:47:38.800 --> 0:47:40.000 taken plenty of criticism. 0:47:40.440 --> 0:47:42.520 Talking to James Rapeenie's the guy behind the book and 0:47:42.680 --> 0:47:45.000 entered the jungle, and it's not, by the way, an 0:47:45.040 --> 0:47:47.880 audible book as of yet. And let me before we continue, 0:47:47.880 --> 0:47:49.920 because I agree with everything you said, and even if 0:47:49.960 --> 0:47:51.759 I didn't, I would tell you I'm not here to 0:47:51.800 --> 0:47:53.960 suck up. But I feel bad about this, and let 0:47:54.000 --> 0:47:55.759 me just say for a week it has weighed on 0:47:55.880 --> 0:47:57.799 me heavily. And I heard you, I don't know if 0:47:57.840 --> 0:48:00.520 it was Christmas Eve or whatever, you ruin sports talking 0:48:00.520 --> 0:48:03.200 for Lance and I was going to reach out and 0:48:03.239 --> 0:48:04.680 you were like, you could voice some for me if 0:48:04.680 --> 0:48:06.520 you want to, you know, And I was like no, 0:48:06.600 --> 0:48:08.279 and I glossed over it, and then I felt like 0:48:08.280 --> 0:48:10.400 a jerk because it made it was it was like 0:48:10.560 --> 0:48:12.920 a pressure and maybe uncomfortable. And you have been here 0:48:12.920 --> 0:48:15.000 for me in every way and I have seen you 0:48:15.040 --> 0:48:18.839 develop and grow, which sounds weird, but it's true and 0:48:18.880 --> 0:48:21.080 it's been awesome. And let me just tell you I 0:48:21.080 --> 0:48:22.840 would do anything I can do to help you in 0:48:22.880 --> 0:48:24.600 any way possible if you ever need me. 0:48:24.640 --> 0:48:26.480 And you asked me, but and I did. 0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:28.560 And like the back of my mind, I'm with family 0:48:28.600 --> 0:48:30.680 and like eating like tons of food and hanging out 0:48:30.920 --> 0:48:32.799 and I'm like thinking, man, I hope you didn't take 0:48:32.840 --> 0:48:34.880 me seriously when I was like somehow not being like 0:48:34.920 --> 0:48:37.600 decent and nice. And so let me just take a 0:48:37.600 --> 0:48:41.120 deep breath and recalibrate and just let you know. I 0:48:41.160 --> 0:48:41.680 felt bad. 0:48:41.760 --> 0:48:44.640 I totally had forgot about that. I'm pretty sure that 0:48:44.680 --> 0:48:46.600 was when I was doing laughs at Miami Airport. 0:48:46.760 --> 0:48:47.080 It was. 0:48:47.320 --> 0:48:47.680 It was. 0:48:48.200 --> 0:48:48.840 That's correct. 0:48:49.440 --> 0:48:51.080 You may or may not have been drinking for the 0:48:51.200 --> 0:48:53.480 flight home, because I mentioned that to you as well, 0:48:53.520 --> 0:48:55.080 and you were like, oh, I didn't realize that was 0:48:55.120 --> 0:48:55.920 a bad idea. 0:48:57.560 --> 0:48:58.279 Yeah. 0:48:58.440 --> 0:49:01.080 I did not drink on the way home, not because 0:49:01.120 --> 0:49:02.520 of you doing that. 0:49:02.600 --> 0:49:07.160 I just on the way to a trip. It feels 0:49:07.239 --> 0:49:08.480 much different than going home. 0:49:08.600 --> 0:49:08.919 It does. 0:49:09.000 --> 0:49:11.399 You almost have to be dialed in going home, right, Yeah, 0:49:11.440 --> 0:49:12.359 you're like dialed in. 0:49:12.320 --> 0:49:13.520 Like all right, what do I need to do? 0:49:13.680 --> 0:49:13.919 Where? 0:49:14.800 --> 0:49:17.960 So all of those things all right, I got to 0:49:17.960 --> 0:49:22.839 get this shuttle and yeah, so much much different. 0:49:22.520 --> 0:49:25.320 Than the than the going there. 0:49:25.360 --> 0:49:27.960 But no, I actually didn't think about it at all. 0:49:27.960 --> 0:49:29.920 I didn't take anything of it because I was joking. 0:49:30.160 --> 0:49:33.799 And then immediately I had had I recoiled and I 0:49:33.880 --> 0:49:36.360 was ashamed and I felt bad and I was I 0:49:36.440 --> 0:49:38.080 was self loathing and I was like, oh my god, 0:49:38.120 --> 0:49:39.719 he's going to take me serious, Like I wasn't going 0:49:39.800 --> 0:49:40.160 to be there. 0:49:40.160 --> 0:49:42.120 But I'm always here for you if you ever need anything. 0:49:42.400 --> 0:49:45.120 So well, I'll tell you this. 0:49:45.840 --> 0:49:48.000 The second edition of the End of the Jungle comes 0:49:48.040 --> 0:49:50.600 out when the Bengals win the Super Bowl. Yes, and 0:49:50.640 --> 0:49:52.440 so they better figure it out so I can get 0:49:52.440 --> 0:49:54.480 the writing, because right, I don't want to do too 0:49:54.480 --> 0:49:59.799 many more seasons. I chronicled from nineteen sixty eight to 0:50:00.000 --> 0:50:01.200 twenty twenty two. 0:50:02.120 --> 0:50:05.000 I don't want to keep I have eight more seasons 0:50:05.040 --> 0:50:05.399 to do. 0:50:06.440 --> 0:50:08.040 I was hoping it would be one or two more 0:50:08.120 --> 0:50:10.640 seasons with the Super Bowl in there, and that obviously 0:50:10.640 --> 0:50:11.479 hasn't been the case. 0:50:11.560 --> 0:50:12.879 Well, let's hope that that's the case. 0:50:12.920 --> 0:50:15.800 I would like to help with that, but at my size, 0:50:16.200 --> 0:50:18.520 even if I were a younger man in my twenties, 0:50:18.560 --> 0:50:20.799 I would not be able to help. Though I could 0:50:20.840 --> 0:50:23.160 be maybe a kicker or a wide receiver if no one, 0:50:23.520 --> 0:50:25.160 if everyone promised not to hit me. 0:50:25.360 --> 0:50:26.520 But that's that's not. 0:50:26.600 --> 0:50:31.400 Maybe the coach that the Bengals need to start with. 0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:35.839 Maybe maybe, maybe not. I'd rather just be be a fact. 0:50:36.000 --> 0:50:36.319 I can't. 0:50:36.360 --> 0:50:39.239 I can't just throw more deep passes and either get 0:50:39.239 --> 0:50:41.880 the reception or get the flag. That's all they need 0:50:41.920 --> 0:50:44.719 to do. There, you go, Yeah, all right, So let's 0:50:44.719 --> 0:50:47.040 get back to Bengals, because that's what matters. There's one 0:50:47.080 --> 0:50:50.680 more week to go. We have seen this defense seemingly 0:50:50.840 --> 0:50:54.040 get better over this last few weeks. Now how much 0:50:54.120 --> 0:50:57.560 of that is the competition being what it has been 0:50:58.040 --> 0:51:01.200 and how much of it has been the duration of 0:51:01.239 --> 0:51:05.239 this defense and them finding themselves as we looked to 0:51:05.520 --> 0:51:08.320 a Browns team coming down seventy one to pay corpse 0:51:08.400 --> 0:51:09.880 Sunday afternoon at one o'clock. 0:51:11.320 --> 0:51:16.040 Yeah, I think, man, this this matchup to me is 0:51:16.080 --> 0:51:20.759 so interesting because on one hand, a big part of me 0:51:20.840 --> 0:51:25.759 Sterling says, you know what you've showcased, what your offense is. 0:51:26.600 --> 0:51:29.480 You can still play those defensive players that need to 0:51:29.520 --> 0:51:32.920 develop and those offensive players that need to develop. But 0:51:33.160 --> 0:51:38.719 Joe jamar Key, you know what those guys are. You 0:51:38.760 --> 0:51:40.440 know what Mike is sick, he is. All of these 0:51:40.440 --> 0:51:43.279 guys have dealt with different injuries this year to just 0:51:43.800 --> 0:51:46.720 get out of town. Don't deal with this physical AFC 0:51:46.800 --> 0:51:49.200 North battle, because they did that last year and obviously 0:51:49.239 --> 0:51:52.640 they were in it last year down to the wire 0:51:52.680 --> 0:51:54.440 and they had to play that game in Pittsburgh like 0:51:54.480 --> 0:51:56.239 it was a win and get in type of game 0:51:56.880 --> 0:51:59.560 even though they needed help. But they were beat up 0:51:59.560 --> 0:52:00.560 after that game. 0:52:00.480 --> 0:52:03.480 Like I know for a fact, like it goes and 0:52:03.520 --> 0:52:04.279 got lost in the. 0:52:04.200 --> 0:52:07.120 Shuffle with Lou and a rumo and the coaching changes 0:52:07.160 --> 0:52:09.319 and all of those things. But like there were guys 0:52:09.360 --> 0:52:11.960 limping around after that game, like prominent guys. I'm not 0:52:11.960 --> 0:52:14.400 going to name names, but you could probably guess. 0:52:14.880 --> 0:52:15.839 I don't want that. 0:52:16.640 --> 0:52:20.319 After this game against the Browns, here's the butt, and 0:52:20.320 --> 0:52:23.360 there's a big butt coming. How nice would it be 0:52:23.400 --> 0:52:27.799 if this offense sliced and diced a Cleveland defense that 0:52:27.840 --> 0:52:31.960 has had their number, had the Bengals number for a 0:52:32.040 --> 0:52:33.960 significant part, I would say, of the Joe Burrow era, 0:52:34.400 --> 0:52:38.400 and really made life hard on this Bengals offense. So 0:52:39.719 --> 0:52:42.760 it's a delicate balance. Obviously, they've already made the decision. 0:52:42.760 --> 0:52:45.879 They're going to line up and play and treat it 0:52:46.040 --> 0:52:48.440 like a must win game to get the seven and 0:52:48.560 --> 0:52:51.440 ten and go out on the right note, which historically 0:52:51.520 --> 0:52:54.080 the Bengals have done a lot long before that. Taylor, 0:52:54.160 --> 0:52:56.520 Joe Burrow or Jamar Chase. We're in the building, yep, 0:52:56.800 --> 0:52:59.160 and they're going to try to do it again on Sunday. 0:52:59.239 --> 0:53:02.880 We'll see how it goes. James Rapine, Bengals talk dot Com. 0:53:03.280 --> 0:53:06.000 You got a Cincinnati Bengals talk on the YouTube, you 0:53:06.080 --> 0:53:09.759 got the Inner Jungle Book. He's locked on Bengals, is 0:53:09.800 --> 0:53:12.200 all over the place. You're hear him here doing shows. 0:53:12.000 --> 0:53:15.880 It's unbelievable. And occasionally he just like flies around the 0:53:15.920 --> 0:53:19.880 country and does whatever else. We talked about Chase Brown 0:53:20.320 --> 0:53:22.480 in the in between and over the last half of 0:53:22.480 --> 0:53:24.640 the season. How geeked up I have been to see 0:53:24.719 --> 0:53:27.239 him seemingly go to the next level and what a 0:53:27.280 --> 0:53:30.799 tandem between p Ryan and Brown, whether it's those in 0:53:30.880 --> 0:53:34.880 between receptions or those running yards, it is astounding. For 0:53:34.960 --> 0:53:37.200 the size of Chase Brown, Am I crazy to say? 0:53:37.239 --> 0:53:39.560 For his size, it is shocking that he's able to 0:53:40.239 --> 0:53:42.200 get the yardage he is on the ground. 0:53:44.080 --> 0:53:51.080 Yeah, I think he's he's a very unique player because 0:53:51.120 --> 0:53:56.160 he's he's shorter than me. I'm five nine, so he's 0:53:56.200 --> 0:53:59.400 shorter than me. I would say, maybe he would disagree, 0:53:59.400 --> 0:54:02.480 but I would leave that way. And I don't lie 0:54:02.520 --> 0:54:04.640 about my height, right, you know, I don't round up 0:54:04.680 --> 0:54:05.919 like I'm a solid five notch. 0:54:05.960 --> 0:54:07.920 A lot do guys do that? Why do guys do that? 0:54:07.960 --> 0:54:10.239 By the way, I mean, seriously, it's not the only 0:54:10.280 --> 0:54:11.319 thing go, yeah, I'm six two. 0:54:11.480 --> 0:54:13.759 No, you're not, you're five ten whoever it is? 0:54:14.360 --> 0:54:20.319 Yeah, yeah, I don't know, you know, it's uh yeah, 0:54:20.360 --> 0:54:21.080 why would you last? 0:54:21.160 --> 0:54:21.400 You are? 0:54:22.200 --> 0:54:23.279 You are? 0:54:23.320 --> 0:54:25.120 Your record? That is what it is. 0:54:26.040 --> 0:54:28.719 Yeah, yeah, you're six and ten. All right, you're not 0:54:28.760 --> 0:54:31.319 making the playoffs, right, you know you're not six ten, 0:54:31.360 --> 0:54:35.960 you're six and ten. So I uh, I think Chase 0:54:36.080 --> 0:54:40.600 is he's had that that stature and that strength and 0:54:40.640 --> 0:54:43.600 the ability to run between the tackles dating back to college, 0:54:44.080 --> 0:54:46.120 and it's something that that he. 0:54:46.080 --> 0:54:46.760 Did at Illinois. 0:54:46.800 --> 0:54:48.520 He had three hundred and twenty eight carries in his 0:54:48.520 --> 0:54:52.000 final year at Illinois. And the thing that he's done 0:54:52.120 --> 0:54:57.200 really well is one learn to navigate that and still 0:54:57.200 --> 0:54:59.720 be that guy and he can run between the tackles. 0:54:59.760 --> 0:55:03.439 But the thing that he's really developed and from year 0:55:03.480 --> 0:55:06.359 one to year three has taken the biggest leap. And 0:55:06.560 --> 0:55:09.200 you saw it yesterday he had three catches for forty yards. 0:55:09.640 --> 0:55:11.560 He can line up in the slot, he can line 0:55:11.600 --> 0:55:13.719 up in the backfield with Samaj p Ryan and he 0:55:13.880 --> 0:55:17.239 is a threat to catch and run and be explosive 0:55:18.000 --> 0:55:20.320 and be that guy with the ball in his hands. 0:55:20.800 --> 0:55:23.960 And that's really hard to find. Like right now, Monday 0:55:24.000 --> 0:55:28.040 Night Football is on. Jon Robinson is such a freak 0:55:28.800 --> 0:55:31.520 and he's putting on a show for the Falcons. Well, 0:55:31.840 --> 0:55:34.640 Chase Brown isn't that, But the Bengals got him in 0:55:34.640 --> 0:55:36.720 the fifth round like he's a steal. 0:55:36.760 --> 0:55:38.480 He's one of the best picks they've had in a 0:55:38.600 --> 0:55:39.440 long long time. 0:55:40.160 --> 0:55:43.160 In Jamar Chase and t Higgins they get a ton 0:55:43.160 --> 0:55:47.520 of run, but Chase Brown literally to get plenty of 0:55:47.600 --> 0:55:50.160 run as well because he is a really high end 0:55:50.200 --> 0:55:52.719 player and one of the. 0:55:54.080 --> 0:55:55.680 Better backs in the NFL. 0:55:55.800 --> 0:55:58.040 Which if you would have said that when they drafted 0:55:58.120 --> 0:56:01.040 him in the fifth round, I'm not sure anyone would 0:56:01.040 --> 0:56:04.040 have would have believed it, But that is the reality. 0:56:04.239 --> 0:56:08.560 Talking to James Rapine locked on Bengals Sterling seven hundred WLW. Now, 0:56:08.600 --> 0:56:10.799 wouldn't it be interesting if the Bengals could find a 0:56:10.840 --> 0:56:14.640 way to get some defensive picks that developed the way 0:56:14.719 --> 0:56:17.319 we have seen Chase Brown because they have had top 0:56:17.360 --> 0:56:19.640 pick after top pick after top pick. Even though we've 0:56:19.680 --> 0:56:22.160 seen the defense gel a little bit, they have not 0:56:22.239 --> 0:56:25.399 had the same type of development that we have seen. 0:56:25.680 --> 0:56:27.799 And the thing about Brown that in the running game, right, 0:56:27.800 --> 0:56:30.600 and we've talked about this over this year more than once. 0:56:30.719 --> 0:56:31.879 James is that. 0:56:32.520 --> 0:56:35.920 They don't need and because the off offense has built 0:56:35.920 --> 0:56:37.680 the way it is the fact that he has carved 0:56:37.680 --> 0:56:39.239 out a niche to be able to do that with 0:56:39.360 --> 0:56:42.960 p Ryan also in a tandem in some situations. It's 0:56:42.960 --> 0:56:45.600 a pretty neat balance to what this offense can do. 0:56:45.800 --> 0:56:49.600 Is it just looks to surgically decimate defenses around the 0:56:49.680 --> 0:56:50.640 NFL when they're healthy. 0:56:51.960 --> 0:56:52.360 Yeah. 0:56:52.560 --> 0:56:57.040 Yeah, that's the beauty of this offense right now. 0:56:58.080 --> 0:57:00.680 If they have an elite quarterback and they can do 0:57:00.880 --> 0:57:06.160 the Joe Burrow makes the reads and places and dice 0:57:06.239 --> 0:57:08.560 is his way. But if they need to run the ball, 0:57:08.600 --> 0:57:10.960 they can't. And they've shown that with some a JP 0:57:11.120 --> 0:57:15.319 Ry and Chase Brown and they were able to. They've 0:57:15.320 --> 0:57:17.960 done the quarterback sneak thing, and they've gone with the 0:57:18.600 --> 0:57:21.280 big the big bodies, and they did that on the 0:57:21.320 --> 0:57:24.160 goal line yesterday and we. 0:57:24.240 --> 0:57:27.040 Haven't seen that consistently. And the other thing is is. 0:57:26.920 --> 0:57:28.360 How versatile their tight ends are. 0:57:28.440 --> 0:57:32.240 No a fan really compliments what Mike get Sicki does 0:57:32.320 --> 0:57:35.120 well and what Tanner Hudson does well. And I'm hoping 0:57:35.280 --> 0:57:38.600 Eric all local kid, I'm hoping he continues to recover 0:57:38.720 --> 0:57:41.800 because part of me is wondering, like, oh man, how 0:57:41.840 --> 0:57:45.280 would Eric Hall and no a fan fare together if 0:57:45.280 --> 0:57:48.320 the Bengals were to resign no offense this offseason. I'm 0:57:48.360 --> 0:57:51.439 not sure they will, but if they did. But but yeah, 0:57:51.440 --> 0:57:54.800 they're really multiple on offense. I mean, I said all 0:57:54.800 --> 0:57:58.920 this stuff, and I think andre Yoseabash has been pretty 0:57:58.960 --> 0:57:59.840 steady overall. 0:58:00.040 --> 0:58:00.320 Get it. 0:58:00.320 --> 0:58:02.600 He's had a few drops, but when called upon, he 0:58:02.680 --> 0:58:05.280 had a big catch yesterday. Mike GASICKI had a couple 0:58:05.320 --> 0:58:13.120 of big catches yep, right, yeah, in their their big plays, 0:58:13.280 --> 0:58:16.160 corny yard plays that go for first downs like those 0:58:16.200 --> 0:58:19.480 are huge plays in the difference between like a lot 0:58:19.560 --> 0:58:23.600 of teams have star players, the difference between getting that 0:58:23.680 --> 0:58:27.000 first down and then ended up scoring on three straight 0:58:27.080 --> 0:58:30.160 drives and taking control of the game is having those 0:58:30.200 --> 0:58:30.600 type of. 0:58:30.560 --> 0:58:32.200 Players, those role players. So manj p. 0:58:32.320 --> 0:58:34.200 Ryan is stepping up and making a huge block in 0:58:34.240 --> 0:58:38.120 pass protection, which gives Joe Burrow enough time to make 0:58:38.920 --> 0:58:41.720 a big play a big throwdown field like those are 0:58:41.760 --> 0:58:44.960 the type of plays that that they have on offense. 0:58:45.120 --> 0:58:47.520 And you see it coming together a little bit on defense, 0:58:48.120 --> 0:58:49.400 but it certainly isn't. 0:58:49.200 --> 0:58:51.720 There yet now we're short on time, and you've been 0:58:51.760 --> 0:58:54.120 generous with it today and I know you were up 0:58:54.160 --> 0:58:55.480 early doing what you got to do. And that was 0:58:55.520 --> 0:58:57.800 after a long Sunday cover in Bengals as well talking 0:58:57.800 --> 0:59:00.440 to James Rapine Cincinnati Bengals talk on you Tube look 0:59:00.520 --> 0:59:03.520 for him there and moving picture form and speaking as well, 0:59:03.760 --> 0:59:06.480 Lockdown Bengals and Enter the Jungle, the Book, and so forth. 0:59:06.680 --> 0:59:10.880 In short order, what does this team look like in 0:59:10.920 --> 0:59:14.520 twenty six and what do they need to do, aside 0:59:14.520 --> 0:59:17.600 from health to be where we expect them to be 0:59:17.680 --> 0:59:20.320 and what they hope to be. Is this window of 0:59:20.640 --> 0:59:25.280 hopefully postseason opportunities and playoff stuff is still with the 0:59:25.320 --> 0:59:26.720 talent that they have, the way they. 0:59:26.640 --> 0:59:32.480 Are, yeah, they they're not going to make coaching changes, right, 0:59:32.520 --> 0:59:33.680 So that's the first thing. 0:59:33.760 --> 0:59:34.960 Like Zach isn't getting fired. 0:59:35.000 --> 0:59:37.440 I know people are wondering mass they're not moving on 0:59:37.520 --> 0:59:39.400 from Duke tob and I know people are wondering that, 0:59:40.600 --> 0:59:46.120 and so let's just throw that away. So people aren't like, oh, well, 0:59:46.120 --> 0:59:46.920 why wouldn't. 0:59:46.600 --> 0:59:47.000 They do that? 0:59:47.920 --> 0:59:51.880 They need to open up that pocket book and they've 0:59:51.920 --> 0:59:52.919 spent I'm not going. 0:59:52.840 --> 0:59:53.600 To say they haven't. 0:59:53.600 --> 0:59:56.080 They have Joe Burrow, highest paid quarterback in the league 0:59:56.120 --> 0:59:58.960 at the time, Jamar Shay's highest paid receiver, T Higgins 0:59:59.200 --> 0:59:59.960 huge contract. 1:00:00.160 --> 1:00:02.920 Like, I get it. I know they've spent. There's the 1:00:03.000 --> 1:00:05.720 Joe Burrow era. You're going to have to push. 1:00:05.480 --> 1:00:10.920 The limits and modernize. You're thinking of how you structure contracts, 1:00:10.960 --> 1:00:13.040 and here's why you need to be able to fit 1:00:13.080 --> 1:00:16.040 more under the cap. And the winning teams do it. 1:00:16.920 --> 1:00:19.200 And if they do that and are willing to do 1:00:19.240 --> 1:00:21.920 that and show that desire and I'm not spent, I'm 1:00:21.920 --> 1:00:26.280 not saying go go willing really crazy, but do enough 1:00:26.280 --> 1:00:30.000 to where you have quality starting safeties, another quality linebacker, 1:00:30.680 --> 1:00:33.040 a couple pass rushers that aren't draft picks that you 1:00:33.120 --> 1:00:36.080 have to develop. So it takes some pressure off of 1:00:36.120 --> 1:00:38.600 these young guys that you do draft where they can 1:00:38.640 --> 1:00:42.000 be pieces and ease into their role like Chase Brown 1:00:42.040 --> 1:00:45.840 did instead of thrown to the wolves like Demitrious Knight 1:00:46.040 --> 1:00:48.400 was in a really tough situation. I've been critical of 1:00:48.440 --> 1:00:50.720 Demetrius Night throughout his rookie year a little bit, but 1:00:50.800 --> 1:00:54.040 it's been a a tough position to be in as well, 1:00:54.080 --> 1:00:55.600 and I'm very much aware of that. 1:00:55.680 --> 1:00:57.480 So I think. 1:00:57.360 --> 1:01:02.520 That's it is, give yourself a chancechampionship level roster and 1:01:02.640 --> 1:01:06.560 a playoff level roster, even without Joe Burrow. And that 1:01:06.600 --> 1:01:10.160 probably means trying to trick Jill Flacco to resigning here, 1:01:10.200 --> 1:01:12.000 even though there's no chance he starts. I know he 1:01:12.080 --> 1:01:14.120 wants to start, but it would be nice if he 1:01:14.200 --> 1:01:15.160 was Joe Burrow's backup. 1:01:15.280 --> 1:01:16.240 Yeah, it would be, wouldn't it. 1:01:16.280 --> 1:01:18.080 I mean, the guy is one hundred and eighty six 1:01:18.280 --> 1:01:20.760 in football years and he's still mobile and getting a 1:01:20.800 --> 1:01:22.880 dead and even that little bit he was in yesterday 1:01:22.920 --> 1:01:25.280 it was fun and I can't remember that the defender 1:01:25.320 --> 1:01:27.439 who was coming at him, it was about eighteen feet 1:01:27.480 --> 1:01:30.960 paul and Flacco did the most awesome thing ever. He 1:01:31.000 --> 1:01:32.400 just looked at him. He's like, oh, hell no, and 1:01:32.440 --> 1:01:35.120 he's just grounded that ball. He's like, I'm good, I'm 1:01:35.160 --> 1:01:38.560 not taking that hit. I'm eighty eight years old, So 1:01:38.920 --> 1:01:41.920 that's right. You know, you don't blame him. So you 1:01:41.960 --> 1:01:44.640 think that's likely that they're gonna be able to pull 1:01:44.680 --> 1:01:46.640 that off. I mean, where else could he go? Although 1:01:46.640 --> 1:01:49.120 this has been the season of you know, the senior 1:01:49.160 --> 1:01:52.200 citizen quarterbacks popping up all over the place, even up 1:01:52.240 --> 1:01:53.840 seventy four in Indianapolis. 1:01:54.960 --> 1:01:59.040 I know it has and heck, if he wants to 1:01:59.040 --> 1:02:01.200 come be the backup, fine with that too. Like you 1:02:01.560 --> 1:02:04.000 well talking about Philip Rivers as vice. 1:02:03.880 --> 1:02:04.040 But. 1:02:05.560 --> 1:02:08.920 In reality here you just need someone that can operate 1:02:08.960 --> 1:02:11.680 your offense and get the ball to your playmakers and 1:02:11.800 --> 1:02:15.280 do it in a hostile environment and read a defense 1:02:16.040 --> 1:02:18.520 and do those things. And Joe Flacco can do that, 1:02:18.640 --> 1:02:22.520 and it's it's harder to find. And so if I'm 1:02:22.560 --> 1:02:25.360 the Bengals, I would, Heck I would. I would try 1:02:25.360 --> 1:02:27.560 to sign him right now if they if they could. 1:02:27.880 --> 1:02:29.520 I'm not sure if he'd want to entertain agent. I'm 1:02:29.560 --> 1:02:31.200 sure he wants to see what options are out there, 1:02:31.240 --> 1:02:33.760 but that's certainly a guy that I would try to 1:02:33.760 --> 1:02:34.160 bring back. 1:02:34.200 --> 1:02:37.080 And I do think it's possible. How likely it depends 1:02:37.080 --> 1:02:37.919 what else is out there. 1:02:37.960 --> 1:02:41.400 But does he want to be a bridge quarterback for 1:02:41.480 --> 1:02:43.400 a few games and then get benched again like he 1:02:43.440 --> 1:02:44.840 was in Cleveland, or does he want to know his 1:02:44.960 --> 1:02:48.120 role here in Cincinnati with a chance, in my mind 1:02:48.160 --> 1:02:50.000 to make a Super Bowl run. 1:02:50.520 --> 1:02:52.560 Man, I think a lot of us have that feeling 1:02:52.560 --> 1:02:54.680 in our lives in general. But I totally get it. 1:02:54.680 --> 1:02:57.440 The Flacco or not, it's always great talking to you. 1:02:57.560 --> 1:03:01.000 I hope you have an incredible New Year twenty six 1:03:01.160 --> 1:03:04.200 and thank you for doing what you do. And you 1:03:04.240 --> 1:03:07.960 can see James Rapine on the Cincinnati Bengals Talk on YouTube. 1:03:08.160 --> 1:03:11.520 You can read him everywhere. I mean really Cincinnati is 1:03:11.560 --> 1:03:16.280 a Bengals Talk dot com locked on Bengals Enter the Jungle, Yes, yeah, 1:03:15.960 --> 1:03:18.320 and then of course the Enter the Jungle too may 1:03:18.360 --> 1:03:20.440 be coming and hopefully with the Super Bowl behind it, 1:03:20.480 --> 1:03:22.240 and I'll voice what I'll do anything that you want 1:03:22.240 --> 1:03:25.240 me to do.

How you doing, 1:03:37.640 --> 1:03:40.520 scary Jeff the night off? Well it was on earlier. 1:03:41.280 --> 1:03:44.160 I'm back on New Year's virtual New Year right here, 1:03:44.240 --> 1:03:47.520 seven hundred w welw. After the Cotton Bowl buck, guys, 1:03:47.640 --> 1:03:50.440 we'll look to get a win. Appreciate you being here. 1:03:50.480 --> 1:03:53.439 Joe Waddell, keep me online or in line and on time, 1:03:53.520 --> 1:03:56.320 something along those lines anyway, And of course Lee Mawin 1:03:56.320 --> 1:03:58.400 with news coming up at about twenty four minutes at 1:03:58.400 --> 1:04:00.520 the eleven thirty or Port. Good way to go ground 1:04:00.520 --> 1:04:03.360 to cover between then and now and then until midnight 1:04:03.400 --> 1:04:06.640 when ATN rolls with Kevin Gordon behind the wheel. That's 1:04:06.680 --> 1:04:09.920 America's trucking network. A number of things in the news 1:04:10.800 --> 1:04:14.480 and I'm just kind of curious about this here first 1:04:14.520 --> 1:04:17.880 of all headline. Then it's been all over on Columbus paper, 1:04:18.080 --> 1:04:21.520 Cincinnati News, all over the state Ohio cannabis advocates. There 1:04:21.520 --> 1:04:24.640 are people advocating for the cannabis because apparently the cannabis 1:04:24.680 --> 1:04:27.360 needs someone to advocate for it, which I did not know. 1:04:27.480 --> 1:04:30.760 It grows wildly. People smoke it, they drink it, they 1:04:30.800 --> 1:04:33.000 do a lot of different things. It's been legal in 1:04:33.080 --> 1:04:37.360 Ohio as a recreational activity or a consumable product for 1:04:37.400 --> 1:04:40.800 the better part of two years since its implementation and 1:04:41.240 --> 1:04:43.680 the public's vote those eighteen and older. In the state 1:04:43.720 --> 1:04:48.000 of Ohio, lawmakers just recently signed into law with Mike 1:04:48.040 --> 1:04:53.800 DeWine behind it, have altered that was initially carved out 1:04:53.960 --> 1:04:58.280 and voters decided how it would be implemented. Lawmakers have 1:04:58.360 --> 1:05:00.960 said that they weren't real hahih with it. They said 1:05:00.960 --> 1:05:03.600 that the voters didn't really understand what it was all about, 1:05:04.040 --> 1:05:07.400 and they've tweaked it a little bit. So now there's 1:05:07.440 --> 1:05:10.720 an organization that's out there and they're looking to collect 1:05:10.760 --> 1:05:14.160 a whole lot of signatures and wanting to challenge the 1:05:14.200 --> 1:05:17.520 new hemp and marijuana law. So what I'm wondering is this, 1:05:19.040 --> 1:05:20.520 and give you a chance to sound off, and I'm 1:05:20.520 --> 1:05:22.120 going to rip through a whole bunch of these other things. 1:05:22.320 --> 1:05:26.280 I'm curious if you, whether you're a cannabis user or 1:05:26.280 --> 1:05:29.360 not a cannabis user, whether it's for recreation, whether it's 1:05:29.440 --> 1:05:33.080 medicinal by way of a prescription from your doctor for whatever, 1:05:33.200 --> 1:05:37.480 a number of other things. Whether you're consuming THHC beverages 1:05:37.560 --> 1:05:40.680 which are more and more available around the country, whether 1:05:40.720 --> 1:05:43.800 it's water infused with it, or soda or pop whatever 1:05:43.840 --> 1:05:46.600 you want to call it, te seltzers of some type 1:05:46.640 --> 1:05:53.000 or another. What they've talked about, whether it's here in Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland. 1:05:53.000 --> 1:05:56.080 They're breweries that are doing this, and they are expecting 1:05:56.080 --> 1:05:58.880 to take a pretty big hit once this stuff is 1:05:58.880 --> 1:06:02.320 supposed to go go by, and they are obviously looking 1:06:02.320 --> 1:06:04.840 to maintain their revenue stream, and people want to know, 1:06:05.120 --> 1:06:07.680 you know, keep the ability to live their lives the 1:06:07.720 --> 1:06:10.800 way they want. I'm just curious, is this something that 1:06:10.840 --> 1:06:13.840 you would sign to be able to then have that 1:06:13.960 --> 1:06:18.600 submitted so that people, this cannabis advocacy group, if you will, 1:06:19.000 --> 1:06:21.960 could then try to roll back the changes that are 1:06:21.960 --> 1:06:23.760 in place, or do you think the changes are good 1:06:23.760 --> 1:06:25.440 when it comes to the way that they're trying to 1:06:25.560 --> 1:06:28.200 regulate it, and that means taking away some of the 1:06:29.400 --> 1:06:32.600 intoxicating hemp products available other places other than the one 1:06:32.680 --> 1:06:37.240 hundred and seventy seven licensed dispensaries, including those breweries or 1:06:38.160 --> 1:06:42.040 you know companies that are handling the infusion of that 1:06:42.200 --> 1:06:44.760 for beverages of some type or another, canning it or 1:06:44.840 --> 1:06:47.240 bottling it or whatever else sort of goes into it. 1:06:47.480 --> 1:06:50.880 And there are a number of those out there five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven, 1:06:51.360 --> 1:06:54.200 eight hundred the big one. And also you can talk 1:06:54.240 --> 1:06:58.480 back on the iHeartRadio app at Sterling Radio on x 1:06:59.000 --> 1:07:01.680 on the talk just click the microphone on the app 1:07:01.720 --> 1:07:04.320 for iHeart and you can certainly leave a message there 1:07:04.360 --> 1:07:06.880 as well. Tons and tons of money is at stake, 1:07:07.080 --> 1:07:09.320 jobs are at stake as well, and the idea of 1:07:09.320 --> 1:07:11.800 freedom and liberty that goes along with it and the 1:07:12.120 --> 1:07:14.840 regulation with it. Some people are the belief that it 1:07:14.880 --> 1:07:17.520 could have been tweaked and adjusted more reasonable and rationally. 1:07:18.160 --> 1:07:20.160 I've had people who are in the business of running 1:07:20.200 --> 1:07:22.920 smoke shops and others who have called the show, reached 1:07:22.960 --> 1:07:25.280 out to me and so forth and say that they 1:07:25.280 --> 1:07:28.600 feel that they're unfairly targeted by a handful of those 1:07:28.640 --> 1:07:31.480 that are bad actors who have not handled their business 1:07:31.600 --> 1:07:36.840 responsibly for the vast majority of retailers, not selling it 1:07:36.880 --> 1:07:39.840 to kids, and not doing anything that they shouldn't be, 1:07:40.120 --> 1:07:43.240 and they feel that they've been targeted unfairly five three, seven, 1:07:43.280 --> 1:07:45.640 four nine, seven, eight hundred the big one. I say, 1:07:46.000 --> 1:07:47.640 you know, whatever it is that you like to do 1:07:47.760 --> 1:07:51.160 to get yourself high, as long as you're responsible not 1:07:51.280 --> 1:07:54.040 getting behind the wheel of a vehicle putting others at risk, 1:07:54.880 --> 1:07:57.320 and as long as you handle your business where you're 1:07:57.360 --> 1:07:59.959 not a problem for the general population and the big 1:08:00.080 --> 1:08:02.360 sandbox of life. I say, do whatever it is that 1:08:02.400 --> 1:08:06.000 you want to do. That's just me and a libertarian 1:08:06.040 --> 1:08:10.240 conservative mindset. But not everybody has that same type of 1:08:10.520 --> 1:08:14.800 view or understanding of the way things go. But they 1:08:14.840 --> 1:08:17.719 are looking now to gather signatures and sooner than later 1:08:18.000 --> 1:08:20.320 wherever it is that you're out and about. I'm not 1:08:20.360 --> 1:08:22.200 sure if they can do that just online or if 1:08:22.200 --> 1:08:25.320 it has to be done in person hard copy signature. 1:08:25.400 --> 1:08:28.960 I can remember coming in and out of like grocery 1:08:29.000 --> 1:08:32.760 stores and parking lots in other places too, whether it 1:08:32.760 --> 1:08:36.360 was Kenwood Town Center or otherwise where people initially when 1:08:36.360 --> 1:08:38.759 they were trying to get the referendum on the ballot 1:08:38.760 --> 1:08:42.280 to legalize it in the first place for recreation that 1:08:42.320 --> 1:08:45.559 we're looking for signatures and stuff going back a couple 1:08:45.560 --> 1:08:48.320 of years, so I would imagine we'll see a little 1:08:48.320 --> 1:08:50.280 bit more of that as well. To New Miami. And 1:08:50.320 --> 1:08:52.160 Bill was sterling on the Big One in room for 1:08:52.200 --> 1:08:54.879 you seven four nine, eight hundred, the Big One. Appreciate 1:08:54.920 --> 1:08:55.479 you holding Bill. 1:08:55.520 --> 1:08:58.120 What's up? How you doing? 1:08:58.200 --> 1:08:58.599 Sirling? 1:08:58.800 --> 1:08:59.639 I think I'm all right? 1:09:00.120 --> 1:09:01.080 You Oh good? 1:09:01.560 --> 1:09:04.519 I think I'm all right as well. I think it's 1:09:04.600 --> 1:09:08.000 kind of ridiculous, though. Where do I sign? 1:09:09.120 --> 1:09:11.160 I just I don't. 1:09:11.040 --> 1:09:15.679 Under I don't understand where our governor is coming from. 1:09:15.720 --> 1:09:20.120 When I when I first heard he was doing this several. 1:09:19.800 --> 1:09:23.759 Months ago, it was like, this is what we voted for. 1:09:25.120 --> 1:09:28.960 Well, people did fifty seven fifty eight percent. Somewhere in 1:09:29.040 --> 1:09:31.960 between there of Ohio voters said ya to it. You know, 1:09:32.040 --> 1:09:34.439 some were of the opinion I guess there were unintended 1:09:34.520 --> 1:09:37.200 consequences and things that they didn't really think of or 1:09:37.760 --> 1:09:39.840 what have you. And this is one of those things 1:09:39.840 --> 1:09:43.320 that the General Assembly and lawmakers in Columbus sent to 1:09:43.360 --> 1:09:46.160 the governor's desk and he had to sign it. 1:09:46.640 --> 1:09:46.920 He did. 1:09:47.040 --> 1:09:49.200 I think they had carved out the THHC part and 1:09:49.240 --> 1:09:53.440 then he line item vetoed that if I'm not mistaken, okay, 1:09:53.560 --> 1:09:55.280 but I don't know all the ins and outs of 1:09:55.280 --> 1:09:59.120 that at this moment. So you say, go ahead, get 1:09:59.240 --> 1:10:01.519 you the position, and you will sign it. Do you 1:10:01.560 --> 1:10:04.640 see any problem with the way it was being marketed 1:10:04.840 --> 1:10:09.400 or promoted or sold any place you've been, assuming you're 1:10:09.600 --> 1:10:12.040 either a consumer or just someone who's in the idea 1:10:12.120 --> 1:10:15.000 of freedom for people, which or both. 1:10:15.240 --> 1:10:20.000 Well, I've had my card for several years. I've never 1:10:20.080 --> 1:10:22.280 bought any beverages or anything. 1:10:24.560 --> 1:10:27.000 I just I don't know. 1:10:27.160 --> 1:10:28.280 I think that. 1:10:31.360 --> 1:10:33.760 I just feel like the way this the sole thing 1:10:33.800 --> 1:10:37.960 has been presented by what the governor has done and everything, 1:10:38.120 --> 1:10:46.920 this seems like he's overstepping his his bounds. But apparently 1:10:47.720 --> 1:10:55.240 he's not right. So I just want to know where 1:10:55.280 --> 1:10:59.760 to sign because I just think that we need to 1:11:00.080 --> 1:11:04.960 have the you know, th seed beverages. They're no worse 1:11:05.120 --> 1:11:07.800 than alcoholic. 1:11:07.200 --> 1:11:09.400 Beverages from what I understand. 1:11:09.560 --> 1:11:11.360 So here here's a question I have. 1:11:11.560 --> 1:11:14.200 So in relation to this, do you think that it 1:11:14.200 --> 1:11:17.240 would be better if they had rules for other retailers? 1:11:17.280 --> 1:11:20.640 I mean, do you want the intoxicating hemp available or 1:11:20.720 --> 1:11:23.040 is it just about the beverage that you feel should 1:11:23.080 --> 1:11:26.680 be available. You know, the question is about packaging and 1:11:26.760 --> 1:11:30.639 targeting of kids. I don't think anyone responsible wants anyone 1:11:30.960 --> 1:11:33.160 made twenty one to be able to buy it over 1:11:33.160 --> 1:11:33.920 the counter. 1:11:33.680 --> 1:11:39.200 Right, well, right, absolutely not, yeah, be twenty one. Perhaps 1:11:39.240 --> 1:11:44.880 the th sed beverages should be sold in dispensaries. 1:11:44.800 --> 1:11:48.599 Yeah, that might be something rather than in other words, 1:11:48.720 --> 1:11:51.040 rather than going to the brewery or going to the 1:11:51.080 --> 1:11:52.599 distillery or something else. 1:11:52.960 --> 1:11:56.280 To a store or whatever. Perhaps if you want to 1:11:56.320 --> 1:12:00.400 get a th seed beverage, you go to suspense, just 1:12:00.600 --> 1:12:04.080 like you got to get your legalized marijuana. 1:12:04.320 --> 1:12:04.960 That makes sense. 1:12:05.080 --> 1:12:06.960 You almost make too much sense in a time when 1:12:06.960 --> 1:12:08.559 there's not a lot of sense being made in a 1:12:08.560 --> 1:12:11.439 lot of places. So Bill, I appreciate you being a 1:12:11.479 --> 1:12:14.600 part of the show and maybe we'll get somebody beyond this. 1:12:14.640 --> 1:12:15.280 Thank you very much. 1:12:15.280 --> 1:12:18.240 I appreciate you listening, and if we can maybe track 1:12:18.320 --> 1:12:21.120 down some people who are behind the idea of this 1:12:21.200 --> 1:12:23.479 petition and we maybe have them on the show as well. 1:12:23.760 --> 1:12:27.200 But it's pretty interesting how much attention is this has gotten. 1:12:28.320 --> 1:12:30.840 My gut tells me that I think the vast majority 1:12:30.880 --> 1:12:34.519 of Ohioan's voters or not, whether they were forward or 1:12:34.600 --> 1:12:36.400 against it or kind of the I mean, it was 1:12:36.560 --> 1:12:39.920 a black market product for a long time, for decades, 1:12:40.439 --> 1:12:44.000 there was no difficulty in getting it from the black market. 1:12:44.280 --> 1:12:48.519 They brought it above board and effectively made it safer, 1:12:48.800 --> 1:12:52.000 more consistent and understanding what it is a product that 1:12:52.040 --> 1:12:53.800 people were going to be able to get their hands 1:12:53.800 --> 1:12:57.479 on to ingest by whatever means they choose, whether it's 1:12:57.520 --> 1:13:01.200 for a prescription or whether it's for recreational entertainment purposes, 1:13:01.280 --> 1:13:03.479 no different and I don't look at it any different 1:13:03.479 --> 1:13:07.160 than alcohol in any fashion. And the bottom line is 1:13:07.720 --> 1:13:10.120 that you just need to be responsible in the way 1:13:10.160 --> 1:13:13.960 that you maintain you know your function in what you 1:13:14.040 --> 1:13:17.599 do whether you're drinking, or whether you're smoking, or whether 1:13:17.640 --> 1:13:21.559 you're eating, or whatever it is, there's something that's going 1:13:21.600 --> 1:13:24.640 to intoxicate you or alter your ability to function and 1:13:24.640 --> 1:13:28.799 get behind the wheel of an automobile or other heavy machinery. 1:13:28.800 --> 1:13:31.760 I think it's a pretty basic scenario, but you know, 1:13:32.200 --> 1:13:35.080 keeping it out of kid's hands, I think is fairly important. 1:13:35.160 --> 1:13:37.960 Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven, eight hundred, the 1:13:37.960 --> 1:13:41.800 big one. Speaking of something else that's fairly important. And 1:13:42.040 --> 1:13:46.000 every New Year's this is an issue, and it's not 1:13:46.080 --> 1:13:49.960 an issue everywhere, but it is an issue that presents 1:13:49.960 --> 1:13:52.320 itself and depending on the neighborhood in which you live 1:13:52.439 --> 1:13:54.200 or if you live out in the country. And I've 1:13:54.240 --> 1:13:57.720 lived in the city of Cincinnati, I've lived in suburbia. 1:13:58.040 --> 1:14:01.240 I've lived in rural Ohio as well well. And I 1:14:01.280 --> 1:14:05.320 can tell you that New Year's Christmas both certainly the 1:14:04.960 --> 1:14:06.120 forth the fourth of July. 1:14:06.240 --> 1:14:07.400 It's not just fireworks. 1:14:07.439 --> 1:14:10.559 People like to target practice or pop off some rounds 1:14:10.600 --> 1:14:13.519 into the sky to celebrate the new year, which I 1:14:13.560 --> 1:14:16.760 have never quite understood. One, you're wasting Ammo. Two those 1:14:16.880 --> 1:14:20.200 rounds fall. Bad things can happen when they fall, whether 1:14:20.240 --> 1:14:23.479 it's on your on top of your roof, into your house, 1:14:23.520 --> 1:14:26.400 into your attic, or you know. Even when I before 1:14:26.439 --> 1:14:29.680 I came back to Ohio in the middle nineties, I 1:14:29.720 --> 1:14:33.439 was working in New Orleans and we were celebrating our 1:14:33.520 --> 1:14:35.519 unemployment because we were all going to be let go 1:14:35.600 --> 1:14:38.519 in the first of January. So a whole bunch of 1:14:38.600 --> 1:14:40.680 us went out to eat in the French Quarter. And 1:14:40.960 --> 1:14:42.880 New Year's in the French Quarter is a busy time. 1:14:42.960 --> 1:14:46.439 Not Maudi Gras busy, but busy, big celebration, big party. 1:14:46.840 --> 1:14:49.040 And we were leaving a restaurant. It was called K 1:14:49.160 --> 1:14:53.640 Paul's at the time, and Paul Prudona, I think, is 1:14:53.680 --> 1:14:56.439 the guy who owned it at that point. And we're 1:14:56.560 --> 1:14:59.920 leaving and we noticed the crowd and there's some weird 1:15:00.400 --> 1:15:04.559 stuff going on. This is like nineteen ninety five, I believe. 1:15:05.240 --> 1:15:08.240 And so it's been a minute, and what had happened 1:15:08.560 --> 1:15:10.160 is there was a woman and I want to say 1:15:10.200 --> 1:15:13.200 she was either from Boston or the Cleveland area, I 1:15:13.200 --> 1:15:16.160 can't remember. And it's really irrelevant, but it is devastating 1:15:16.320 --> 1:15:19.360 just the same. There was a woman who took around 1:15:19.680 --> 1:15:21.400 from the top of her to the top of her 1:15:21.439 --> 1:15:25.759 head after someone had discharged a firearm and it dropped 1:15:25.760 --> 1:15:30.639 her dead on the spot and no explanation, no call. 1:15:30.720 --> 1:15:33.200 I mean, they couldn't figure out exactly what it was 1:15:33.360 --> 1:15:36.559 that it had caused her harm. And then it leads 1:15:36.600 --> 1:15:41.320 me to this story because idiots do idiotic things, and 1:15:41.360 --> 1:15:43.840 I try not to be an idiot, at least not 1:15:43.920 --> 1:15:47.639 in that way, and others shouldn't either. And I flashed 1:15:47.680 --> 1:15:50.479 back to this because I've had numerous people send me 1:15:50.520 --> 1:15:53.280 this and wanted me to make comment on it. Headlined 1:15:53.760 --> 1:15:59.480 a man in Oklahoma doing target practice in his backyard 1:16:00.160 --> 1:16:03.880 after Christmas with this new gun. Right, so, he gets 1:16:03.880 --> 1:16:08.040 a new handgun. He has nothing backstopping those rounds that 1:16:08.120 --> 1:16:12.640 he's firing. A woman a couple of blocks away on 1:16:12.800 --> 1:16:20.360 her porch holding a baby says, ow and under her 1:16:20.520 --> 1:16:23.120 arm or threw her arm and into her chest cavity. 1:16:23.400 --> 1:16:27.080 She is hit by around that that guy just discharged 1:16:27.120 --> 1:16:31.519 from his firearm because he was irresponsible and it killed 1:16:31.520 --> 1:16:34.559 her and it could have killed that baby. So the 1:16:34.560 --> 1:16:37.120 bottom line is whether it's New Year's popping rounds off 1:16:37.160 --> 1:16:39.599 into the sky or somebody who has decided that they 1:16:39.600 --> 1:16:42.440 want to target practice or shoot their guns in the backyard, 1:16:42.760 --> 1:16:46.439 don't be an idiot. Don't be a moron. Think a 1:16:46.439 --> 1:16:51.000 little bit beforehand. Those rounds go somewhere. They don't just disappear, 1:16:51.400 --> 1:16:55.000 aside from the fact that they ain't cheap. So I 1:16:55.560 --> 1:16:58.160 don't want to have to talk about New Year's Eve 1:16:58.960 --> 1:17:03.160 and bad things have with people discharging their firearms. I'm 1:17:03.200 --> 1:17:07.800 just trying to help. Okay, five one, three, seven hundred, 1:17:07.840 --> 1:17:09.680 the big one to Middletown and Penny, I think you're 1:17:09.680 --> 1:17:12.200 calling on the weed issue. Penny, how are you? How's 1:17:12.240 --> 1:17:13.799 everything on this Monday night, Sterling? 1:17:14.560 --> 1:17:17.920 I'm good and I love listening to you whenever you're on. 1:17:19.040 --> 1:17:22.480 You always have great subjects, and I want to just 1:17:22.479 --> 1:17:26.320 just wanted to mention that I'm thinking the governor and 1:17:26.360 --> 1:17:29.799 maybe me and others we didn't think about them putting 1:17:29.840 --> 1:17:35.320 the THC in alcoholic beverages where you go to the 1:17:36.600 --> 1:17:38.760 go down to the bar and you sit there for 1:17:39.280 --> 1:17:42.559 you know, however long people want to say, some people 1:17:42.560 --> 1:17:45.519 for short terms. Some people make an evening of it 1:17:45.600 --> 1:17:48.120 and you're drinking this and you're going to get behind 1:17:48.160 --> 1:17:50.679 your car and drive, and you know, we can say 1:17:51.400 --> 1:17:54.120 we need you know, people need to be held responsible. 1:17:54.160 --> 1:17:58.720 But I just think it's just another thing that you know, 1:17:59.080 --> 1:18:03.360 police can't mind. And I hate to see people lose 1:18:03.400 --> 1:18:06.799 their lives because someone wanted to sit at the evening 1:18:06.880 --> 1:18:10.800 and the bar and have this in their beer. 1:18:11.080 --> 1:18:14.040 Isn't there is there a drastic difference between that and 1:18:14.080 --> 1:18:18.240 any other intoxicating substance, whether it's you know, beer, beer, 1:18:18.360 --> 1:18:21.000 or wine or other spirits, you know, drinking a bourbon 1:18:21.080 --> 1:18:22.080 or two after dinner. 1:18:22.960 --> 1:18:26.559 No, I don't. But I think it's the fact that 1:18:27.120 --> 1:18:31.639 it's just another thing where some people, I don't know, 1:18:32.160 --> 1:18:36.400 maybe more people might people that would go that normally 1:18:36.439 --> 1:18:37.920 wouldn't to get this. 1:18:38.120 --> 1:18:38.639 I don't know. 1:18:39.120 --> 1:18:42.240 I just worry about drunk drivers in general. 1:18:43.080 --> 1:18:43.840 Yeah, I get that. 1:18:44.920 --> 1:18:45.720 Yeah, yeah. 1:18:45.960 --> 1:18:48.160 So my question is this, So, do you want to 1:18:48.200 --> 1:18:50.280 then keep people from being able to go get any 1:18:50.280 --> 1:18:53.680 alcoholic beverage because there are people who are irresponsible, or 1:18:53.760 --> 1:18:56.280 you just draw the line at the intoxicating hamp or 1:18:56.280 --> 1:18:59.639 THHC and fuse beverages because it's an easy target right now. 1:19:00.520 --> 1:19:04.760 No, I think that it's if one's available, they should 1:19:04.760 --> 1:19:09.559 all be available. But I think people really when they 1:19:09.640 --> 1:19:14.040 voted for this, really did not know the full picture 1:19:14.080 --> 1:19:15.400 of it, right, That's what. 1:19:15.320 --> 1:19:17.840 They think were you confused by the language, because that's 1:19:17.840 --> 1:19:20.280 some of the things that lawmakers have said. Well, people 1:19:20.280 --> 1:19:22.840 didn't understand what they were reading. I mean, it was 1:19:22.920 --> 1:19:25.880 fairly common speak. It was a lot easier to understand 1:19:25.960 --> 1:19:29.960 that than the redistricting issue or the question about you know, 1:19:30.479 --> 1:19:33.920 the legislative districts and how they decided who was going 1:19:33.960 --> 1:19:34.920 to vote for whom where? 1:19:35.040 --> 1:19:35.240 Right? 1:19:36.280 --> 1:19:36.559 Right? 1:19:37.320 --> 1:19:41.360 But I will say I have to be honest and 1:19:41.400 --> 1:19:44.599 say I voted no for it, okay, because I felt 1:19:44.640 --> 1:19:49.320 like it was going to be another another thing, another problem. 1:19:49.520 --> 1:19:50.720 Sure, people, you know. 1:19:50.760 --> 1:19:53.720 We can we can all say let's all be responsible, 1:19:53.760 --> 1:19:57.720 but let's make a list of the people that are 1:19:57.760 --> 1:20:01.599 responsible and that people aren't. And you know, the people 1:20:01.680 --> 1:20:06.560 that are responsible are also you know, suffering the consequences 1:20:06.560 --> 1:20:10.240 of the people that aren't responsible. So no real way 1:20:10.280 --> 1:20:11.040 to handle it. 1:20:11.040 --> 1:20:13.160 It's tough, right, I mean, because I mean that's the thing. 1:20:13.280 --> 1:20:15.280 You know, we can't have nice things because some people 1:20:15.439 --> 1:20:17.960 ruin it for us, whether it's alcohol boos or people 1:20:18.000 --> 1:20:20.479 who aren't handling their firearms the way they should, which 1:20:20.520 --> 1:20:21.320 is responsible to. 1:20:22.240 --> 1:20:27.080 The firearms another thing. Yeah, yeah, I mean that. 1:20:27.160 --> 1:20:28.080 That's a tough deal. 1:20:29.120 --> 1:20:31.120 Well, Penny, I appreciate the call, But I mean, I 1:20:31.160 --> 1:20:33.559 don't want anybody losing their right to bear arms or 1:20:33.600 --> 1:20:36.280 losing their right to have an alcoholic beverage because a 1:20:36.320 --> 1:20:39.040 small percentage of people out there are idiots and morons. 1:20:39.880 --> 1:20:42.960 Absolutely, I believe that, you know. 1:20:43.000 --> 1:20:44.680 I mean, if we could be on a panel and 1:20:44.720 --> 1:20:47.000 they would never allow this. But I mean, I will 1:20:47.000 --> 1:20:50.639 go so far as to say some people shouldn't have kids, right. 1:20:52.240 --> 1:20:52.400 Too. 1:20:52.680 --> 1:20:55.280 But it's not really for me to decide who else. 1:20:55.360 --> 1:20:58.080 The only person I can decide about is me whether 1:20:58.160 --> 1:21:00.320 or not I want to make Little Sterling or Sterling's 1:21:00.439 --> 1:21:02.559 or you with Penny and Penny yet right, I mean, 1:21:02.600 --> 1:21:04.840 you know it's tough. 1:21:05.240 --> 1:21:09.120 Penny, and it's not right for us to make the 1:21:09.240 --> 1:21:12.960 decisions for all. But you know, like I said, I 1:21:13.000 --> 1:21:16.439 don't like to see the people who are responsible stuffer 1:21:17.000 --> 1:21:18.599 at the answer the people aren't. 1:21:18.760 --> 1:21:22.479 Absolutely, it certainly does a lot of ways. Penny, great 1:21:22.520 --> 1:21:24.240 talking to you. I appreciate you listening and being a 1:21:24.240 --> 1:21:25.360 part of the show. I hope you have a great 1:21:25.439 --> 1:21:27.799 night and a good New year. Quick break come back Monday, 1:21:27.800 --> 1:21:32.720 Sterling for Gary Jeff seven hundred WLW Sterling back to 1:21:32.720 --> 1:21:37.040 seven hundred WLW, the nation station a couple of minutes 1:21:37.080 --> 1:21:38.519 away from your eleven thirty of. 1:21:38.439 --> 1:21:41.320 Your report in for Gary, Jeff, how you doing? Joe? 1:21:41.320 --> 1:21:44.400 What dell? Keep me on time? On online or in line? 1:21:44.439 --> 1:21:47.320 Just something like some close to that anyway, the Lee 1:21:47.360 --> 1:21:49.160 Malwin's got news in a little bit quick nine first 1:21:49.200 --> 1:21:51.080 Warning forecast down to eighteen tonight. 1:21:51.120 --> 1:21:53.200 That's cold, how ridiculous. 1:21:53.280 --> 1:21:57.439 Yesterday I hung out and walked the dog with shorts on, 1:21:57.760 --> 1:22:00.639 and it was in the sixties. And right now it's 1:22:00.640 --> 1:22:03.240 a twenty two Tomorrow will be a high at thirty 1:22:03.439 --> 1:22:04.400 thirty six Wednesday. 1:22:04.439 --> 1:22:06.519 It's you know what it is. It's December. It is 1:22:06.560 --> 1:22:06.960 what it is. 1:22:07.000 --> 1:22:09.160 It feels all of a sudden like December again with 1:22:09.320 --> 1:22:11.120 New Year's straight in front of us. 1:22:11.520 --> 1:22:13.000 So you know it is where it is. 1:22:13.040 --> 1:22:17.400 It's your severe Weather News Radio seven hundred WLW forecast 1:22:17.400 --> 1:22:19.760 from nine first winning Weather. There you go, Yeah, got that. 1:22:21.640 --> 1:22:25.439 I want to mention this too here because it's something 1:22:25.760 --> 1:22:29.240 and somewhat shocking. Falcons beat the La Rams twenty seven 1:22:29.280 --> 1:22:32.120 to twenty four in Atlanta Monday night football. That happened 1:22:32.720 --> 1:22:35.400 just a bit ago, and the Rams, of course playoff bound. 1:22:35.520 --> 1:22:37.519 I don't know if that takes them from fourth, I think, 1:22:38.200 --> 1:22:41.639 or fifth if I'm not mistaken in the playoff picture 1:22:41.720 --> 1:22:44.920 as far as that goes, they're six now, I think 1:22:44.960 --> 1:22:49.280 if I refresh that as far as seeding goes in 1:22:49.400 --> 1:22:53.439 the NFC for a playoffs, so I'm pretty sure that's it. 1:22:53.479 --> 1:22:56.240 Eleven and five third the NFC West. So yeah, there 1:22:56.280 --> 1:22:59.280 you go. Bengals, of course, have the Browns on Sunday 1:22:59.320 --> 1:23:03.559 to wrap up this season. Basketball Bearcats handle business quite 1:23:03.600 --> 1:23:08.559 easily earlier here hosting Lipscomb at the fifth Third Arena 1:23:08.600 --> 1:23:11.160 and on seven hundred WLW to wrap up their non 1:23:11.240 --> 1:23:14.960 conference schedule eighty nine sixty two to the final, bear 1:23:15.000 --> 1:23:18.400 Cats all over them. Now eight and five, they have 1:23:18.560 --> 1:23:22.160 Houston coming in the Rockets at fifth Third Arena on 1:23:22.280 --> 1:23:24.840 Saturday afternoon with the two o'clock tip off, then to 1:23:24.920 --> 1:23:28.639 West Virginia. They will make the trip there for another 1:23:28.640 --> 1:23:32.200 Big twelve matchup a week from tomorrow, so they're in 1:23:32.240 --> 1:23:35.240 the thick of it pretty quickly. We'll see how that progresses, 1:23:36.080 --> 1:23:38.680 so yeah, you gotta look forward to it. And I 1:23:38.720 --> 1:23:40.960 want to mention this because this has had a number 1:23:41.000 --> 1:23:44.080 of people mentioned this and I touched on it earlier 1:23:44.680 --> 1:23:47.880 about the dry January. Sonya zato I had on talking 1:23:47.880 --> 1:23:50.400 about living better and healthier in twenty six and that's 1:23:50.400 --> 1:23:51.880 one of the things a lot of people do is 1:23:52.040 --> 1:23:56.320 they try to dry out from whatever substances, whether it's alcohol, 1:23:56.360 --> 1:23:59.400 booze or whatever. Take a month and clean yourself out 1:24:00.120 --> 1:24:02.400 just a little bit and maybe get ready for spring 1:24:02.520 --> 1:24:05.599 or something. They say, even if you can't get through 1:24:05.760 --> 1:24:09.600 a whole month going alcohol free or weed free or 1:24:09.600 --> 1:24:13.519 whatever else, the bottom line is that they are seeing 1:24:13.640 --> 1:24:20.679 huge physical improvements also huge behavioral changes lasting in excess 1:24:20.680 --> 1:24:23.240 of six months or so after taking a month off 1:24:23.320 --> 1:24:25.720 or close to that to sober up. Not to say 1:24:25.720 --> 1:24:28.320 that somebody's drunk, but just to clear their system out, 1:24:28.320 --> 1:24:31.560 flush it a little bit, you know, depending on holidays, 1:24:31.720 --> 1:24:33.960 maybe hit the bottom a little bit, celebrate, have a 1:24:34.000 --> 1:24:36.000 good time. So even if you don't go a full 1:24:36.040 --> 1:24:39.320 whole January dry, even just making a little bit of 1:24:39.360 --> 1:24:42.240 an effort can clean you up and help us off 1:24:42.520 --> 1:24:44.760 live a little bit better in the new year. So 1:24:44.840 --> 1:24:46.840 don't think if you can't go through the whole month 1:24:47.479 --> 1:24:50.320 that it's a no bueno. There's still, you know, time 1:24:50.600 --> 1:24:53.200 and still a chance to better yourself with that on 1:24:53.240 --> 1:24:55.920 the other side of your eleven thirty report of all 1:24:55.960 --> 1:24:58.519 the disorders, of all the dysfunction, I do like to 1:24:58.520 --> 1:25:01.840 put the fun in dysfunction. There is something that is 1:25:01.960 --> 1:25:04.920 over the top and over you can go too far 1:25:06.080 --> 1:25:09.479 in eating healthy. I will explain they've even given this 1:25:09.640 --> 1:25:12.519 disorder a name. Will make sense of it. After Lee 1:25:12.600 --> 1:25:15.360 Mallin and your eleven thirty report here on the Home 1:25:15.360 --> 1:25:18.400 of the Hooday the bear Cats, the Musketeers, and sooner 1:25:18.439 --> 1:25:23.479 than later Reds fest downtown in the redone Convention Center, 1:25:23.520 --> 1:25:25.320 and they'll be in the desert before you know it too. 1:25:25.400 --> 1:25:27.200 Getting ready on the Home of the Reds too, seven 1:25:27.320 --> 1:25:31.439 hundred WLW. Glad you're a long fine Monday night, Sterling, 1:25:31.479 --> 1:25:35.040 seven hundred WLW. And for Gary Jeff straight away after 1:25:35.120 --> 1:25:39.280 your midnight report America's Trucking Network. That's atm I'm a 1:25:39.320 --> 1:25:42.800 fan of the acronym Kevin Gordon behind the wheel as 1:25:42.840 --> 1:25:45.439 always with that good night for basketball bear Cats now 1:25:45.439 --> 1:25:49.280 eating five eighty nine sixty two all over Lipscomb. They 1:25:49.280 --> 1:25:51.640 got an education at fifth Third Arena. You heard that 1:25:51.680 --> 1:25:55.280 game here on seven hundred WLW. It was also a 1:25:55.320 --> 1:25:59.639 good day for the hooda yesterday pounding the Phoenix Cardinals, 1:25:59.680 --> 1:26:02.360 sending them back to the desert. It was actually as 1:26:02.439 --> 1:26:06.080 warm here yesterday as it was, if I'm not mistaken 1:26:06.680 --> 1:26:09.599 in their land of a Phoenix area as well, which 1:26:09.600 --> 1:26:11.920 is where the Reds will be tuning up shortly, just 1:26:11.920 --> 1:26:15.160 within a stone's throw of that area. And Goodyear just 1:26:15.400 --> 1:26:17.080 what about a month and a half two months away, 1:26:17.120 --> 1:26:21.559 give or take. So yeah, and New Year's Eve five 1:26:21.560 --> 1:26:26.000 o'clock tip off, Big East Action, Xavier's x Men hosting 1:26:26.160 --> 1:26:30.160 Yukon getting it on on the final day of twenty 1:26:30.280 --> 1:26:31.000 twenty five. 1:26:31.200 --> 1:26:32.760 And that leads me to you. 1:26:33.200 --> 1:26:36.320 The year end is upon us, and I know people 1:26:36.400 --> 1:26:41.120 talk about the idea of resolutions, and I'm all about 1:26:41.120 --> 1:26:43.559 trying to be a better person and on the edges, 1:26:43.680 --> 1:26:45.519 just a little bit better here, a little bit better 1:26:45.560 --> 1:26:48.960 there in some fashion or another. In earlier Sonya's o 1:26:48.960 --> 1:26:51.160 id you can hear the podcast, it'll be available. Joe 1:26:51.200 --> 1:26:53.200 Waddell all over it like a two ton heavy thing 1:26:53.240 --> 1:26:56.519 because he's a madman, and she gave us some insight 1:26:56.560 --> 1:26:59.879 into living better and healthier in twenty six. I'm curious 1:27:00.200 --> 1:27:03.200 what your plan is. Do you have a plan for 1:27:03.280 --> 1:27:06.040 twenty six? Do you believe and buy into the idea 1:27:06.080 --> 1:27:09.400 of resolutions or is it just another day, another night, 1:27:09.479 --> 1:27:12.519 or otherwise? Five three, seven, four ninety seven thousand, eight 1:27:12.640 --> 1:27:17.160 hundred The big one. I've been chastised, scolded, mocked, ridiculed 1:27:17.360 --> 1:27:19.400 for a host of reasons in all honesty, most of 1:27:19.400 --> 1:27:21.960 which I couldn't care less about. But when it comes 1:27:22.000 --> 1:27:23.760 to the resolution thing, people said, well, you got to 1:27:23.760 --> 1:27:26.960 be more specific. But when I say better in general, 1:27:27.160 --> 1:27:29.160 the better person I mean. I want to be fitter, 1:27:29.680 --> 1:27:31.559 I want to learn more. I want to be able 1:27:31.600 --> 1:27:35.040 to help my community, my friends, my family, those in need, 1:27:35.200 --> 1:27:38.840 whether it's a you know, animal causes where like Cincinnati 1:27:38.880 --> 1:27:42.720 Animal Care rescues, whether it's lighthouse to use services and 1:27:42.760 --> 1:27:45.200 trying to help at risk teams and those that could 1:27:45.240 --> 1:27:47.200 be on the street hopefully have a roof over their 1:27:47.240 --> 1:27:50.840 head and an opportunity to learn and improve their situation 1:27:51.040 --> 1:27:53.160 moving forward. Those are the things I'm trying to do 1:27:53.200 --> 1:27:55.880 and just trying to be nicer, you know, just in 1:27:55.960 --> 1:28:00.120 general in a sometimes contentious times. Five one three I've 1:28:00.120 --> 1:28:02.360 been four nine seven eight hundred The big one. You 1:28:02.360 --> 1:28:03.960 can pick up the phone, give it the finger. I'm 1:28:03.960 --> 1:28:07.120 also on X or Twitter. If you still call it 1:28:07.160 --> 1:28:11.439 that at Sterling Radio and the iHeartRadio app talkback button 1:28:11.439 --> 1:28:13.479 there just on the microphone. You can leave a message 1:28:13.520 --> 1:28:18.080 there as well. Now I want to Normally I don't 1:28:18.120 --> 1:28:20.559 really pay that much attention to reality TV because it's 1:28:20.560 --> 1:28:24.760 not very real. Sometimes it can certainly be very entertaining. 1:28:26.000 --> 1:28:30.240 In the news, Lee Allen mentioned this earlier, and all 1:28:30.280 --> 1:28:32.200 I can tell you before I get into it deeply, 1:28:32.640 --> 1:28:34.920 this all goes back to a movie which you may 1:28:35.000 --> 1:28:37.200 or may not have seen, called The Truth About Cats 1:28:37.200 --> 1:28:40.120 and Dogs. Jennine Garoffalo was in it. She played a 1:28:40.160 --> 1:28:44.040 talk show host talking about pets and animals, and someone 1:28:44.040 --> 1:28:46.839 had called the show on the movie talking about stuff 1:28:47.000 --> 1:28:49.960 and it got a little uncomfortable, It got a little unnerving, 1:28:50.000 --> 1:28:52.160 it got a little bit weird, and she said something 1:28:52.240 --> 1:28:57.000 that I think resonates as well then and now as 1:28:57.040 --> 1:29:00.720 it will ever and certainly into the future. That includes 1:29:01.080 --> 1:29:03.080 the guy in the news who was a part of 1:29:03.320 --> 1:29:07.840 that A and E show, Neighbors with Benefits I think 1:29:07.960 --> 1:29:10.080 is what it was called. Yeah, he's now in the 1:29:10.120 --> 1:29:13.439 warning Warren County jail, quarter of a million dollar cash 1:29:13.520 --> 1:29:17.680 only bond, expected to be in court tomorrow, and the 1:29:17.720 --> 1:29:20.800 line and the directive hits for this guy who's in 1:29:20.840 --> 1:29:24.200 the news, as it does for anyone in general. You 1:29:24.240 --> 1:29:28.559 can love your pets, just don't love your pets too much, 1:29:28.600 --> 1:29:32.479 because that's the allegation. Aside for many issues of other 1:29:32.560 --> 1:29:37.120 salacious material or behavior, the allegation is that he was 1:29:37.160 --> 1:29:40.720 having and this is a quote from multiple sources, that 1:29:40.760 --> 1:29:47.559 he was engaging in sexual conduct with his two dogs 1:29:48.360 --> 1:29:51.479 at his house. First of all, dogs have no thumb. 1:29:52.400 --> 1:29:54.840 They cannot make a choice for themselves, such as that 1:29:54.840 --> 1:29:56.479 they have a duke claw, but they can't do a 1:29:56.479 --> 1:29:58.960 whole hell of a lot with the duke claw. And 1:29:59.520 --> 1:30:02.160 you know, I just don't know at what point how 1:30:02.200 --> 1:30:03.760 sick in the head you have to be. If the 1:30:03.800 --> 1:30:07.559 allegation is true, that someone would somehow look to be 1:30:07.600 --> 1:30:11.760 loving their pet that way, it's unacceptable, it's inappropriate, it's wrong, 1:30:11.800 --> 1:30:13.599 and I'm on the pet side for this. And if 1:30:13.600 --> 1:30:17.160 this is true, aside from the allegations also that are 1:30:17.160 --> 1:30:22.439 about explicit materials apparently on an account online someplace in 1:30:22.479 --> 1:30:25.479 the cloud or elsewhere, he's going to have to answer 1:30:25.479 --> 1:30:27.760 for himself and deal with that in the court. But 1:30:29.720 --> 1:30:32.479 you know, it's just not good to be loving your 1:30:32.520 --> 1:30:35.280 animals like that, aside from all the other stuff that 1:30:35.320 --> 1:30:37.920 goes with it. That's pretty inexcusable too, But again, innocent 1:30:37.960 --> 1:30:42.720 until proven guilty, the allegations until improven guilty beyond a 1:30:42.720 --> 1:30:43.479 reasonable doubt. 1:30:44.439 --> 1:30:46.240 But it is very troubling. 1:30:46.840 --> 1:30:49.479 And you know, if you've got neighbors with benefits, as 1:30:49.520 --> 1:30:52.000 the show was titled, I don't know why you wouldn't 1:30:52.479 --> 1:30:54.880 be with the neighbor and have a benefit rather than 1:30:54.920 --> 1:30:57.920 a defenseless animal or the other stuff that's also a 1:30:57.920 --> 1:31:00.840 part of these allegations and these the corpse which are 1:31:00.880 --> 1:31:03.800 expected to take place tomorrow. It's pretty bewildering. I mean, 1:31:03.840 --> 1:31:06.559 it really is. I mean, I love my animals at 1:31:06.560 --> 1:31:08.960 the house, but I'm not loving them, if you know 1:31:09.000 --> 1:31:12.000 what I'm saying. It's just it's just it's just wrong, 1:31:12.200 --> 1:31:14.559 is what it is. It's creepy, weird and a bad 1:31:16.120 --> 1:31:19.479 something else in the news. Because time is short, I 1:31:19.840 --> 1:31:23.599 want to mention this and I teased it earlier because 1:31:23.840 --> 1:31:25.720 all the talk about living better and how you know, 1:31:25.760 --> 1:31:27.800 we need to eat better, we need to take care 1:31:27.800 --> 1:31:31.720 of ourselves. And people can be obsessive, they can be compulsive, 1:31:32.360 --> 1:31:35.080 and there are a lot of people with addiction problems, 1:31:35.320 --> 1:31:37.840 and most of the addiction problems that we hear about 1:31:37.880 --> 1:31:40.639 in the news, they get a lot of attention, are 1:31:40.680 --> 1:31:43.639 the ones that get headlines, whether it's somebody who's hitting 1:31:43.680 --> 1:31:47.160 the booze too much or they're taking in popping pills, 1:31:47.280 --> 1:31:49.360 or you know, because they were on pain medicine of 1:31:49.360 --> 1:31:50.280 one type or another. 1:31:50.840 --> 1:31:51.000 Uh. 1:31:51.080 --> 1:31:54.200 You know, the the opium opiate issue that was in 1:31:54.240 --> 1:31:56.360 the news for such a long period of time, and 1:31:56.400 --> 1:31:59.280 the oxycontins and all the fentanyl, the car fentanyl that 1:31:59.320 --> 1:32:03.280 continues to a scourge on our population just in general. 1:32:04.280 --> 1:32:08.519 It just absolutely brutalized and continues to be a problem, 1:32:08.720 --> 1:32:11.400 and it's going to be felt for another generation too, 1:32:11.439 --> 1:32:14.200 like the crack epidemic was and continues to be for 1:32:14.240 --> 1:32:16.040 a lot of people that are grown now that live 1:32:16.120 --> 1:32:19.479 through that with their parents and a generation before. So 1:32:19.720 --> 1:32:23.839 just you know, know that those things are dangerous inherently too. 1:32:24.240 --> 1:32:26.520 And people can eat too much, people can have addictions 1:32:26.560 --> 1:32:28.640 to sex, they can be addicted to TV, they can 1:32:28.680 --> 1:32:32.960 be addicted to a lot of things. But apparently previously 1:32:33.920 --> 1:32:39.160 not so called formal recognition from the DSM five, the 1:32:39.240 --> 1:32:43.040 diagnostic and Statistical manual that are used by you know, 1:32:43.120 --> 1:32:46.920 mental health professionals and so forth. But there is something 1:32:46.920 --> 1:32:52.360 else that apparently is growing in the population now that 1:32:52.520 --> 1:32:57.840 is a problem, and that's people that apparently are addicted 1:32:57.880 --> 1:33:02.400 to trying to be too healthy. And you know, you 1:33:02.439 --> 1:33:05.639 hear about like antarexia, or you know, people binge and purge, 1:33:05.640 --> 1:33:08.200 and they don't see themselves right. Their body image and 1:33:08.240 --> 1:33:10.240 how they see themselves in a mirror is not quite 1:33:10.320 --> 1:33:13.040 how all of us see them, and that's a problem. 1:33:13.280 --> 1:33:18.240 But there's now something called orthorexia, and it's been around forever, 1:33:18.280 --> 1:33:20.080 but I've not seen or have been aware of it. 1:33:20.439 --> 1:33:23.160 Apparently it was first started being used in the mid 1:33:23.200 --> 1:33:26.880 to late nineties, And what it is is an obsession 1:33:28.360 --> 1:33:35.000 or fixation with being healthier and eating more healthily, and 1:33:35.080 --> 1:33:40.400 apparently being aware of their circumstance. Interne itself, of course 1:33:40.520 --> 1:33:42.920 is not the major issue or a problem, but it's 1:33:42.960 --> 1:33:46.640 going over the top, in other words, being so overwhelmed 1:33:46.640 --> 1:33:50.519 by it, so addicted to this concept, fixated on it, 1:33:50.560 --> 1:33:54.160 on the healthy eating thing, they end up hurting themselves 1:33:54.920 --> 1:33:58.400 their physical wellbeing, their mental wellbeing and going along with that. 1:33:58.720 --> 1:34:01.240 And if you know someone who is constantly looking at 1:34:01.400 --> 1:34:05.200 ingredients and nutrition labels, if you see someone with an 1:34:05.240 --> 1:34:09.599 increase of concern about healthy ingredients in their food, which 1:34:09.600 --> 1:34:11.880 could be anybody at the beginning of the year trying 1:34:11.880 --> 1:34:13.160 to lose weight or live better. 1:34:13.400 --> 1:34:15.000 So this gets sort of dicey. 1:34:15.840 --> 1:34:18.479 They say cutting out an increased number of food groups, 1:34:18.520 --> 1:34:22.400 maybe no sugars, maybe eating all meat or dairy, or 1:34:22.439 --> 1:34:24.559 cutting all those things out, or animal products. 1:34:24.560 --> 1:34:25.880 I don't know if the vegans could be a part 1:34:25.880 --> 1:34:26.679 of this or otherwise. 1:34:27.880 --> 1:34:30.400 They say, an inability to eat anything but a small 1:34:30.400 --> 1:34:36.439 group of foods. This could be orthorexia. They also have 1:34:36.520 --> 1:34:42.920 apparently a feeling of superior or a superiority or overall 1:34:42.960 --> 1:34:46.640 about their nutrition and their intolerance to the rest of 1:34:46.760 --> 1:34:51.479 us and our poor eating habits and our poor beliefs 1:34:51.479 --> 1:34:55.200 when it comes to that. So they are super perfectionists. 1:34:55.240 --> 1:34:59.200 They are obsessive, compulsive, and they have high levels of 1:34:59.320 --> 1:35:03.960 stress or distress when it comes to finding safe and 1:35:04.000 --> 1:35:06.320 healthy foods when they're not on the shelf or in 1:35:06.360 --> 1:35:08.719 the refrigerator or in the cupboard, or if you're traveling 1:35:08.720 --> 1:35:10.800 and everything's late and you're at the airport and it's 1:35:10.800 --> 1:35:13.479 hard to maybe find something good, it can be a 1:35:13.560 --> 1:35:16.679 major problem. And then of course then it leads, they say, 1:35:17.680 --> 1:35:20.880 in this situation going on social media and blogs and 1:35:20.920 --> 1:35:24.559 following other food and healthy lifestyle stuff, posting that stuff 1:35:24.600 --> 1:35:26.720 on their own as well, and it leads in the 1:35:26.760 --> 1:35:30.080 downward spiral like a domino effect, apparently of body image 1:35:30.120 --> 1:35:33.000 concerns that may or may not be here now but 1:35:33.080 --> 1:35:36.719 could come later. And then also what they call psycho 1:35:37.479 --> 1:35:43.240 social impairments in different areas of their life. So just 1:35:43.320 --> 1:35:46.080 when you think that you had heard about every possible 1:35:46.160 --> 1:35:49.800 disorder and dysfunction, and I'm sure there will be more 1:35:49.880 --> 1:35:52.160 sooner than later. With the whole host of things. Is 1:35:52.200 --> 1:35:56.240 more implementation of AI comes in making our lives easier, 1:35:56.280 --> 1:36:03.120 better workflows, more successful, money saving for business and individuals. 1:36:03.479 --> 1:36:05.679 I'm sure there will be some other terms and use 1:36:06.439 --> 1:36:10.160 when it comes to obsessive behaviors with that or addiction issues. 1:36:10.400 --> 1:36:13.639 I suppose for some maybe having relationships as we already 1:36:13.680 --> 1:36:16.880 know with AI or chat group chat type thing or 1:36:16.920 --> 1:36:20.519 whatever else. But this is a new one, and I 1:36:20.560 --> 1:36:22.840 do have some people around me that are very very 1:36:22.920 --> 1:36:25.880 much fixated on the healthy thing, to the point where 1:36:25.880 --> 1:36:29.000 I've thought it was a little sick, but then they go, well, 1:36:29.000 --> 1:36:31.040 you're not the most healthy so who are you to 1:36:31.120 --> 1:36:34.400 tell me? And I'm like, yeah, you're absolutely right. I 1:36:34.439 --> 1:36:36.559 am not a very healthy person sometimes with the way 1:36:36.600 --> 1:36:39.960 I eat and so forth. But orthorexia is real. So 1:36:40.080 --> 1:36:42.280 when you think somebody seems to be over the top, 1:36:42.320 --> 1:36:45.160 you may have seen them over the holidays obsessing and stressing. 1:36:45.760 --> 1:36:49.040 You may be absolutely right with it. It could be orthorexia. 1:36:49.600 --> 1:36:52.599 So yeah, think about that for a little bit. It's 1:36:52.600 --> 1:37:02.840 Sterling seven hundred WLW Sterling hanging out a couple of 1:37:02.880 --> 1:37:06.720 minutes away from your midnight report if you listen closely, 1:37:06.840 --> 1:37:09.599 warming up, maybe in the sleeper, I'm not quite sure. 1:37:10.160 --> 1:37:12.880 Kevin Gordon, America's truck and network ready to roll after 1:37:12.960 --> 1:37:15.240 the news. Lee Malwen will have that about five and 1:37:15.240 --> 1:37:17.880 a half minutes. I don't know how many people actually 1:37:17.960 --> 1:37:21.120 paid attention to that Jake Paul fight that he got 1:37:21.120 --> 1:37:26.160 beat down and he lost. Jake Paul did on Netflix. 1:37:26.400 --> 1:37:30.320 I guess it's just over a week ago, right, And 1:37:30.400 --> 1:37:36.400 the guy who beat him, Anthony Joshua, was in Nigeria, Lagos. 1:37:36.680 --> 1:37:39.639 I think I pronounced that correctly. He's a Nigerian British guy, 1:37:40.400 --> 1:37:45.240 former heavyweight champion. He was in a car crash that 1:37:45.400 --> 1:37:48.479 left two other people dead that were passengers in the car. 1:37:48.880 --> 1:37:51.080 It doesn't say I can't see here if it says 1:37:51.120 --> 1:37:52.960 he was driving or a passenger in the car, but 1:37:53.040 --> 1:37:56.479 two other people in this vehicle. Apparently there was some 1:37:56.640 --> 1:38:00.320 speeding involved. It happens occasionally speed kills literally and figureatively. 1:38:00.400 --> 1:38:03.600 It's not just on the Billiard's table. This is a 1:38:03.600 --> 1:38:06.479 pretty serious issue. It really made it to social media 1:38:06.520 --> 1:38:09.040 before it was reported anywhere else. He apparently is recovering 1:38:09.040 --> 1:38:13.120 in an undisclosed hospital, hopefully getting better sooner than later. 1:38:13.200 --> 1:38:16.160 At a horrible, tragic loss of life in that crash. 1:38:16.200 --> 1:38:19.040 It just shows you, I mean, life is fragile no 1:38:19.080 --> 1:38:22.360 matter where you are, what you're doing, and you know, 1:38:22.400 --> 1:38:24.920 you just hope that he gets through that. Okay. And 1:38:25.240 --> 1:38:27.000 here's the thing. And I people that were mad at me. 1:38:27.200 --> 1:38:31.960 I don't know why I enjoyed Anthony Joshua beating Jake 1:38:32.000 --> 1:38:35.840 Paul so much, But I really thoroughly enjoyed him beating 1:38:35.920 --> 1:38:38.240 him down. I really did. And I don't know why. 1:38:38.280 --> 1:38:40.120 There's no real good reason for me to do that. 1:38:40.200 --> 1:38:42.800 I had a real dog and that fight, if you will, 1:38:43.120 --> 1:38:46.840 but I just enjoyed seeing Jake Paul lose on the 1:38:46.880 --> 1:38:48.880 replay there because I was here when the fight was 1:38:48.920 --> 1:38:50.960 actually going on, or at least as it was starting 1:38:50.960 --> 1:38:52.559 in Miami a couple of weeks and a week ago, 1:38:53.000 --> 1:38:55.680 seven eight days ago, whatever it was. So hopefully he 1:38:55.720 --> 1:38:58.160 gets better fast. And it's a horrible story. But I 1:38:58.200 --> 1:39:00.800 just had to mention that a couple people say that guy, 1:39:00.840 --> 1:39:02.760 that guy, he was in that fight. Yeah, that's the 1:39:02.800 --> 1:39:06.560 same guy. It's a pretty disturbing scenario. And anytime you 1:39:06.560 --> 1:39:08.640 get behind the wheel, you just don't know which you know, 1:39:08.920 --> 1:39:11.400 Penny you called earlier sort of made that illusion, you 1:39:11.479 --> 1:39:15.120 just hope between people being distracted on their devices, let 1:39:15.160 --> 1:39:17.920 alone may be inebriated in some fashion with some type 1:39:17.960 --> 1:39:21.599 of intoxicant, you just don't know. And earlier tonight driving 1:39:21.680 --> 1:39:23.760 in as it was all night last night and most 1:39:23.760 --> 1:39:27.960 of the day today, of course, is that super really 1:39:28.240 --> 1:39:32.400 high wind kind of high profile vehicle frustration of trying 1:39:32.400 --> 1:39:35.040 to drive up and down seventy one and seventy five 1:39:35.160 --> 1:39:38.880 or anywhere else you happen to be is brutal on 1:39:38.880 --> 1:39:43.200 a high profile vehicle, tractor trailers, suv, whatever else. I 1:39:43.240 --> 1:39:45.280 saw a whole bunch of people, you know, all over 1:39:45.320 --> 1:39:47.599 the road, you know, being blown around because they weren't 1:39:47.640 --> 1:39:50.160 really able to handle it. So hopefully it's a little 1:39:50.160 --> 1:39:51.840 bit better when I get back out here after I'm 1:39:51.880 --> 1:39:54.280 done with this and speaking of something else danger on 1:39:54.320 --> 1:39:56.280 the road, since I'm being the profit of doom all 1:39:56.320 --> 1:39:58.479 this sudden, I just want to mention this because this 1:39:59.000 --> 1:40:02.479 I've seen it before when I've driven out west. I 1:40:02.520 --> 1:40:05.040 saw it in and around the mountains in Utah a 1:40:05.040 --> 1:40:07.920 few years ago, and I've seen it in Kentucky and 1:40:07.960 --> 1:40:11.439 Tennessee on the road driving here and there, and you 1:40:11.600 --> 1:40:14.320 occasionally we'll see where they've shut down an interstate, or 1:40:14.360 --> 1:40:17.120 you've seen where there's been a rock slide or something 1:40:17.160 --> 1:40:19.800 along those lines. A boulder has you know, rolled down 1:40:19.880 --> 1:40:23.240 from up above across the interstate. And I've always thought, well, 1:40:23.240 --> 1:40:27.040 what are the odds that if I'm driving that I'm 1:40:27.080 --> 1:40:29.040 going to come across that either in the dark and 1:40:29.080 --> 1:40:31.080 it's happened and no one's seen it, that hasn't been 1:40:31.080 --> 1:40:33.400 able to be moved yet, or you know, cordoned off 1:40:33.680 --> 1:40:36.240 blocked off in some fashion. I mean, you know, you're 1:40:36.240 --> 1:40:38.719 at a high rate of speed and an immovable object 1:40:38.800 --> 1:40:42.719 that weighs tons. Nothing good comes from that headlined five 1:40:42.840 --> 1:40:47.439 injured after a massive boulder crashed onto a California highway. 1:40:48.040 --> 1:40:51.479 They're Highway eighteen, which I've driven around this area around 1:40:51.479 --> 1:40:57.320 San Bernardino County, California. Was the twenty sixth. They responded 1:40:57.320 --> 1:40:59.479 apparently to a call there and there were a couple 1:40:59.560 --> 1:41:01.840 of cars that it crashed on the freeway, either trying 1:41:01.880 --> 1:41:05.080 to avoid it or actually in and around it, because 1:41:05.120 --> 1:41:07.320 there was a bunch of other debris as well. So 1:41:07.680 --> 1:41:10.759 I mean, I like watching like these ice road trucker 1:41:10.800 --> 1:41:14.080 shows and you know, all these like soisseuito reality based 1:41:14.080 --> 1:41:16.559 things where these wreckers are out there trying to get 1:41:16.600 --> 1:41:20.400 you know, people from bad, precarious circumstances. And I've always 1:41:20.439 --> 1:41:23.760 wondered about how frequently it happens where one of these 1:41:23.800 --> 1:41:27.280 boulders or a rock slide and course and places where 1:41:27.280 --> 1:41:30.960 there's heavy rain, flash flooding, settling of the earth, and 1:41:31.000 --> 1:41:33.640 you think about, or at least I do, about, you know, 1:41:33.680 --> 1:41:36.120 different fault lines and so forth that we have around 1:41:36.200 --> 1:41:38.760 the country, and certainly California has a few that go 1:41:38.880 --> 1:41:41.280 up and down that state, which is a you know, 1:41:41.400 --> 1:41:44.120 it's a long north to south stretch for the state 1:41:44.160 --> 1:41:47.720 of California. I just wondered how often it happens, and 1:41:47.920 --> 1:41:51.200 here's proof that occasionally. It's not just in the dark. 1:41:51.240 --> 1:41:53.439 Did the rock fall if you weren't there to see it, Well, 1:41:53.520 --> 1:41:56.720 yeah it did. And thankfully it talks about no fidelities, 1:41:56.720 --> 1:41:59.439 but that is some pretty serious stuff, and they believe 1:41:59.439 --> 1:42:01.439 a lot of that heavy rain that they dealt with 1:42:01.600 --> 1:42:04.960 may have actually contributed to that with the saturation. We 1:42:05.000 --> 1:42:07.519 had big rain and we had big wind, but not 1:42:07.720 --> 1:42:10.160 like them. And I am very thankful that all the 1:42:10.240 --> 1:42:12.240 rain we had in the last twenty four hours or 1:42:12.280 --> 1:42:15.760 whatever it was, it wasn't snow, because you know, you 1:42:15.800 --> 1:42:18.200 get about eight to ten inches of snow for every 1:42:18.280 --> 1:42:23.040 inch of rain. And it's already past Christmas. I'm done 1:42:23.040 --> 1:42:25.919 with cold, I'm done with the snow, and I'm basically 1:42:25.920 --> 1:42:28.680 done with the show. Gary Jeff's back tomorrow, I'll be 1:42:28.760 --> 1:42:31.280 back New Year's Eve and then Friday, the weekend my 1:42:31.360 --> 1:42:34.560 normal place in time. Lee Mawin has your Midnight Report 1:42:34.840 --> 1:42:37.839 and Kevin Gordon rolls with atn After that, that's America's 1:42:37.840 --> 1:42:38.519 Truck and Network. 1:42:38.560 --> 1:42:41.759 Thank you, Joe Waddell. Straight away, it's new seven hundred 1:42:41.800 --> 1:42:43.080 W wellw Cincinnati,
