Speaker 1: You want to be an American flowy.
Speaker 2: Here on seven hundred WLW schools across America locking up,
Speaker 2: snatching up kids cell phones like their hot contraband. So
Speaker 2: you got bell de bell bands, you got the big
Speaker 2: mad night of pousage. You got confiscation policies. Ohio, Kentucky,
Speaker 2: Indiana all require school districts to implement policies banning those
Speaker 2: phones during instructional class time. And each state's so a
Speaker 2: little bit different than that every but largely most states
Speaker 2: have this kind of policy. But here's the question. You're
Speaker 2: ready for the question. Here's the question no one's asking us.
Speaker 2: So new studies come out, and not just new, but
Speaker 2: preceding studies have come out. They shows teachers spend somewhere
Speaker 2: between twenty five and thirty something percent of their day,
Speaker 2: so between a quarter and a third of their instructional
Speaker 2: day trying to get kids to listen despite strict cell
Speaker 2: phone bands. That hasn't changed. So our phones the core problem?
Speaker 2: Or is it just a scapegoat on that? Christine Miles,
Speaker 2: she's a psychologist and works with school systems across the country.
Speaker 2: Founder of the Listening Past. Christine, welcome, how are you?
Speaker 3: I'm great.
Speaker 4: I'm so glad we're talking about this, so thanks for
Speaker 4: having me on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I was thinking about this before a conversation,
Speaker 2: and you know I was not. I don't know about you,
Speaker 2: but I was not part of the cell phone generation. Obviously,
Speaker 2: I had my mobile down and had it for a
Speaker 2: look for twenty thirty years. But I look back and go, wow,
Speaker 2: we didn't have this problem when I was a kid.
Speaker 2: As most parents and grandparents certainly say, things are different.
Speaker 2: Of course they're supposed to be different. That's how the
Speaker 2: world this is, That's how America's designed. I guess this
Speaker 2: would be like what if I in school, if I
Speaker 2: were allowed to bring my TV with a cable on
Speaker 2: it and I could watch MTV. What that would do
Speaker 2: for my ability to learn? It's the same thing, right
Speaker 2: it really.
Speaker 4: That's that's beautifully said. That's exactly what it is. We
Speaker 4: don't need We just don't need the cord.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So so, but I so appreciate the question because it
Speaker 4: is a big it is a big, big problem, and
Speaker 4: I'm so glad the school's a fine taking a step.
Speaker 4: I mean, we know better, we do better. I mean,
Speaker 4: I remember I grew up when smoking was allowed in
Speaker 4: most places, but then we realized it was harmful for
Speaker 4: your health, so we took it outside and we made
Speaker 4: smoking areas and.
Speaker 5: Things like that.
Speaker 4: So setting some limits is similar to that, because I
Speaker 4: think this is like that the ship sailed before we
Speaker 4: knew what the repercussions were. And I don't think it's
Speaker 4: the root cause. It's just that in gasoline to the
Speaker 4: already raging fire. In terms of the problem of kids
Speaker 4: struggling to listen, there's also some rebound effects here. So
Speaker 4: you take the phones out of the schools, and attention
Speaker 4: spans are still harder to come by because when if
Speaker 4: they're on their phones and on devices, which the numbers
Speaker 4: are kind of staggering. You know, these are spending nine
Speaker 4: hours plus a day outside of school work.
Speaker 5: That's a lot of time.
Speaker 4: So it's not like your brain's going to recover just
Speaker 4: because you don't have it in school.
Speaker 5: But again we're.
Speaker 4: Still it's still not the root cause in my opinions,
Speaker 4: that we're told, not taught, and this is a problem
Speaker 4: since the documents since the nineteen fifties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was making that case and this kind of
Speaker 2: a theme show today on this I had earlier. We're
Speaker 2: talking about the social media liability trial. It's about to
Speaker 2: happen that social media, TikTok and snapchat and instant all
Speaker 2: those platforms are addictive by design and will ruin your
Speaker 2: kids life. Yeah, if they go uncheck, if they're completely
Speaker 2: fearal online with no roadblocks up. But that's on the parent.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's on the company. Also made the
Speaker 2: case that the social is not the problem. The phone
Speaker 2: itself is the problem. It is like literal, I mean,
Speaker 2: it's it's like bringing it's a handheld damn, casino is
Speaker 2: what it is.
Speaker 6: Right, It's like I've got everything out there. It's not social.
Speaker 2: It's I can message, I can look at videos, i
Speaker 2: can watch porn, I can check sports, I can bet online,
Speaker 2: I can I can do all of these things in
Speaker 2: the palm of my hand. That's really it's not social.
Speaker 2: It's the phone.
Speaker 4: Well, it's it's all the things that are coming. It's
Speaker 4: the world coming at kids, not the world, you know,
Speaker 4: not kids exploring the world and what's finding them. You know. Again,
Speaker 4: there's could be a lot of debate about algorithms and
Speaker 4: how we're targeting, just because we could have debates about
Speaker 4: cigarette companies targeting the brain and making things addictive. So
Speaker 4: there's there's It's a very complex issue, and I think yes,
Speaker 4: credical control is important. Schools taking these steps is important
Speaker 4: when again, when we know better, we do better, and
Speaker 4: we still need. One of the things taking this time
Speaker 4: away in schools is that it forces us to do
Speaker 4: something else. So you know, I've talked with parents, as
Speaker 4: you know, a family therapist, and one time a parents
Speaker 4: said to me, what if my child won't eat anything,
Speaker 4: drink anything but soda? And I said, well, if you
Speaker 4: take soda away in the house, they'll get thirsty eventually.
Speaker 4: So you know they'll eventually drink water if water is
Speaker 4: all there is. So what will happen is kids will
Speaker 4: start to reactlimate towards socializing with each other more than
Speaker 4: they will to the phones when the phones aren't in
Speaker 4: front of them. But it's two attempting. So we need
Speaker 4: to remove those barriers. But then we also got to
Speaker 4: give them the skills. I mean, we've been telling we've
Speaker 4: been telling people to listen kids, starting with kids from
Speaker 4: like I said, this is a problem documented back to
Speaker 4: the nineteen fifties where we don't have formal listening education
Speaker 4: and classrooms, So we tell them expecting the ears to
Speaker 4: do the work instead of building this as a skill,
Speaker 4: which is which is what it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean I saw we should addressing in school.
Speaker 2: She's a schools that's Christine Mouse, psychologist. Let's back up
Speaker 2: a little bit. What goes on in the adolescent brain
Speaker 2: from a developmental psychology perspective, what's actually happening when their
Speaker 2: kids are always on their phone and you metch you know, nine, ten,
Speaker 2: twelve or more hours a day.
Speaker 4: Well, so I will say that I can talk about
Speaker 4: this from the This is not my core expertise on
Speaker 4: a systems family therapist, but what I do know and
Speaker 4: what the research is, it's just a it's a dopamine hit.
Speaker 4: It's a constant dopamine hit.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 4: It is asking like a drug. Now we can talk
Speaker 4: about that from an adult perspective, and we know how
Speaker 4: difficult that is. You talked about family, you talked about porn.
Speaker 4: These are things for adults that they struggle with in
Speaker 4: terms of the time on the phone. When your brains developing,
Speaker 4: we're in a whole different realm here, so we were
Speaker 4: not forming the pathways that need to be formed in
Speaker 4: early childhood and in adolescence, which is really why it's
Speaker 4: so dangerous, because we're changing those neural pathways we're getting
Speaker 4: they're having a hard time self soothing, They're having a
Speaker 4: hard time you know. This is why we know the
Speaker 4: mental health issues are spiking, not just the attention issues.
Speaker 4: This is very well documented now in the literature.
Speaker 2: Okay, but there's also a separation factor here. I guess,
Speaker 2: for lack of a better word, we're seeing some students
Speaker 2: are you know, they're experiencing genuine anxiety and panic attacks
Speaker 2: when they're separated from their phones during these bands. Is
Speaker 2: that a clinical concern we should take seriously or is
Speaker 2: that a warning for everyone else?
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's a withdrawal issue. I think this
Speaker 4: is exactly you know what, Let's go back to something simple.
Speaker 4: You know, we give kids a pacifier because it helps
Speaker 4: them sue themselves when it's time, when the parents go, okay,
Speaker 4: it's time to now weing off of that. There's some
Speaker 4: fears that when we have to say goodbye to something
Speaker 4: that was helping us south just because it helps us
Speaker 4: suit doesn't mean it's good for us. This is not
Speaker 4: how we want we want kids to regulate is through
Speaker 4: a device and through having to have constant you know,
Speaker 4: attention coming at us. So that are constant stimulus. So
Speaker 4: we're we're not thinking, feeling, or even operating in the present,
Speaker 4: and that's the danger zone. So this is where but
Speaker 4: we've got to fill that gap so that they're not
Speaker 4: as anxious. Again, this is where the socialization is the answer.
Speaker 4: It's not just take it away. It's the only way
Speaker 4: to stop the behavior to start a new one. So
Speaker 4: you take the phones away, now you have to replace
Speaker 4: it with more socialization. We're skill building around listening, which
Speaker 4: is why again teachers have been telling kids to listen
Speaker 4: in the classrooms for you know, decades, and this is
Speaker 4: a constant battle because it's hard to pay attentions for
Speaker 4: eight hours a day, especially if you don't have the skill.
Speaker 4: If I said, you go run a marathon, that you
Speaker 4: know how to run, but get into the get in
Speaker 4: to the end of the race. Got you gotta train,
Speaker 4: You got to build the muscle. And so this is
Speaker 4: our opportunity is to finally solve this problem, which is
Speaker 4: what I'm committed to doing, is to is to provide
Speaker 4: education from elementary classrooms to corporations because it doesn't matter
Speaker 4: what age you are. You only, you know, a very
Speaker 4: small percentage, less than two percent have any formal listening trading.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she is Christine Miles.
Speaker 2: She's a psychologist of what it's costing you not to
Speaker 2: listen to the founder of the listening path or talking
Speaker 2: about school cell phone and then we have that in Ohio, Kentucky,
Speaker 2: Indiana to a large degree. But the question nobody's asking
Speaker 2: that I'm bringing in this morning is their studies are
Speaker 2: coming out and they're showing that teachers still spend a
Speaker 2: corner or more of their workday, of their instruction day,
Speaker 2: just trying to get kids to listen. Then that was
Speaker 2: before and now after cell phone bands. So our cell
Speaker 2: phones really the problem. They really wreck kids lives. I've
Speaker 2: also seen studies that pointed out earlier said that, you know,
Speaker 2: the extreme is if you spend all your time on
Speaker 2: the phone, it's really really bad for you. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's horrible for your development, all these things we're talking about.
Speaker 2: That's absolutely true. But kids who do aren't on social
Speaker 2: or don't have phones, who don't use them aren't allowed
Speaker 2: to tend to also suffer some of those same symptoms.
Speaker 2: Maybe not the extreme we're talking about with over usage,
Speaker 2: but under usage. There's a sweet spot right in the middle.
Speaker 2: And when I hear that, I go, Okay, kids if
Speaker 2: they're exposed a little social media and able to congregate
Speaker 2: online with friends, because that's how kids socialized today. I
Speaker 2: was a kid where we'd socialized at the mall or
Speaker 2: the arcade, and kids today do it digitally. So we
Speaker 2: have to lean into that. Is this just a lesson
Speaker 2: that we are woefully behind how we educate kids in
Speaker 2: America still today because we're teaching them like we did
Speaker 2: a couple hundred years ago. There's a you know, maybe
Speaker 2: it's instead of a blackboard, it's a whiteboard or a smartboard,
Speaker 2: but you're still at rote memorization. It's all these things
Speaker 2: we've taught kids largely the same way. If phones and
Speaker 2: social media, Christine, are changing kids' brains, shouldn't we be
Speaker 2: adopting the school curricula to meet the way kids learn
Speaker 2: now as opposed to how they've did a couple hundred
Speaker 2: years ago.
Speaker 4: Well, you're this is such a good point. I mean,
Speaker 4: we we know that just what we know about the
Speaker 4: neurodivergency and the way kids learn that. Look, we're you
Speaker 4: know you and I could go back and say, well,
Speaker 4: you know, if somebody was dyslessacker had genuinely had a
Speaker 4: d D or things like that, this wasn't necessarily talked
Speaker 4: about it or diagnosed to the same degree. We once
Speaker 4: could argue that, you know, not everybody has add that,
Speaker 4: but it is real. It is a real thing. So
Speaker 4: we just know that teachers have a lot of divergent
Speaker 4: learning needs and so it's really about meeting kids where
Speaker 4: they are, which is part of why the listening is
Speaker 4: hard too, because kids needs are different.
Speaker 6: Yes, which is.
Speaker 4: Why this is a this you're the point you're making
Speaker 4: is I think, which is where my heart and soul
Speaker 4: is is this is a systemic problem. We're not going
Speaker 4: to fix this with one thing. Again, we know that
Speaker 4: that phones that what we're trying to prevent is is
Speaker 4: keeping them off of engaging with each other, engaging with
Speaker 4: the future, and engaging with the with the core curriculum.
Speaker 4: Like you said, take the TV out of the classroom,
Speaker 4: that's just common sense.
Speaker 5: Right then, we have the issue of what we.
Speaker 4: Do at home and how we limit time. We know
Speaker 4: that past the screen time, the scrolling, the doom scrolling,
Speaker 4: that's not super productive and that can get that's very addictive. Well,
Speaker 4: you know, then there's some socialization. How can you mitigate
Speaker 4: that with socialization? And then you get to the But
Speaker 4: you take all that and you cure all that, you
Speaker 4: still have this learning problem and you still have this
Speaker 4: listening problem to systemic communication problem. We focus on speaking, telling, knowing,
Speaker 4: and test scores versus how we're learning. And that's what AI,
Speaker 4: in my opinion, is going to come in and change
Speaker 4: is that. You know, we had the calculator. Now we
Speaker 4: have something that could do the formulators, but that's formulas.
Speaker 4: But how can you explain it? How can you make
Speaker 4: sense out of it? How can you show up as
Speaker 4: a person that knows how to collaborate? And these are
Speaker 4: all the skills that are at the core of what's
Speaker 4: going to make somebody successful in the future. Starting we
Speaker 4: got to start teaching that at a very early age,
Speaker 4: as early as first grade, so that they're ready. And
Speaker 4: this is where we have to fix this systemically, so
Speaker 4: that we're teaching the skills so everybody is a common language.
Speaker 3: Is how you listen so.
Speaker 2: They can understand. So there's another factor here in my mind.
Speaker 2: If this whole thing and I get it. There's a
Speaker 2: lot of talk about phones descroing attention spans, and the
Speaker 2: argument is whether the phone is the cause or just
Speaker 2: the most convenient delivery system for a culture that's already
Speaker 2: dopamine driven and overstimulate. I mean, you know, parents are
Speaker 2: were upset with the cell phone bands because they want
Speaker 2: to be able to get a hold of their kid
Speaker 2: instantly at any time during an emergency. But as an
Speaker 2: excuse to go, I can text you during class because
Speaker 2: parents are also anxious all the time as well, and
Speaker 2: it trickles down and we're all anxioused all the time.
Speaker 2: But I think it's interesting, is that. So the way
Speaker 2: to beat this whole thing is to simply use AI
Speaker 2: and use the algorithms for good as opposed to evil,
Speaker 2: if you want to call social media evil, and that
Speaker 2: is educators and the system should be creating platforms much
Speaker 2: like TikTok and snapchat and install that feed that feeds
Speaker 2: a student a steady diet of what they're interested in
Speaker 2: to learn that continues to push stuff towards them and
Speaker 2: challenge them and learn what their likes and dislikes are
Speaker 2: and try and strengthen those dislikes and make everything better
Speaker 2: use use the technology for.
Speaker 6: Good instead of social media.
Speaker 2: But the problem with that is now you're going to
Speaker 2: replace all of these teachers and all these administrators in
Speaker 2: schools with something that's digital. That means now that threatens
Speaker 2: the teachers unions, that threatens the administrators and the whole
Speaker 2: construct of schools in general, because guess what if I
Speaker 2: can do this with my phone, much like we've seen
Speaker 2: you know, broadcast TV, go away, ray do everything else,
Speaker 2: newspaper USU for example. Because of the digital age, that
Speaker 2: now threatens the livelihood of the education class. And we
Speaker 2: can't have that in America. And so what winds up
Speaker 2: happening is this distonect between the kids in the classroom.
Speaker 2: Am I wrong?
Speaker 4: Well, here's what I think, so you know, I yes. Again,
Speaker 4: the it's just like we could be saying the same
Speaker 4: thing about corporate America, the road. The road things can
Speaker 4: be replaced, well, can't be replaced by the human skills.
Speaker 4: And that's one of the things that I think teachers
Speaker 4: are getting away from, and not by the doing, because
Speaker 4: there's so much pressure to teach to these core ideas
Speaker 4: and curriculum and the standards, is that they're getting away
Speaker 4: from the human part of the job, which is really
Speaker 4: how we develop kids, how we nurture kids. And so
Speaker 4: this is going to be the heart of what happens
Speaker 4: in the school and what teachers love to do and
Speaker 4: why most teachers get into the work. So I think
Speaker 4: it's not that they'll be replaced to what the emphasis
Speaker 4: that needs to change. And that's the same thing that
Speaker 4: I see on the corporate side that if you want
Speaker 4: to you have to drive that value as a what
Speaker 4: in your job because some of the redundancies can be replaced.
Speaker 4: And so the answer isn't more time on screens. The
Speaker 4: answer is more connection in terms of how we raise
Speaker 4: the kids and how we teach them and how we
Speaker 4: help them connect through language and through interaction, so that
Speaker 4: everything they learn in this kind of this fast paced
Speaker 4: digital world and what's coming at them, then they can
Speaker 4: manage their emotions, They can manage the emotions of others,
Speaker 4: they can develop empathy. They have the things that the
Speaker 4: AI and the machines don't have. And that's the risk
Speaker 4: is that we're tipping over into too much of the
Speaker 4: screen time.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 2: She is Christine Moles psychologist. Her book is What is
Speaker 2: Costing You Not to Listen? Founder of the listening path,
Speaker 2: Christine Miles, thanks of the time.
Speaker 4: I appreciate it, appreciate the conversation. It's really really helpful.
Speaker 2: I think I just made a case here teachers can
Speaker 2: be replaced. This is not believe me, this is like,
Speaker 2: this is dangerous territory. If you can come up with
Speaker 2: an algorithm, and that's easy to do because we've seen
Speaker 2: this replicated time and time again, that would teach kids
Speaker 2: on their level, meaning it feeds them a steady diet.
Speaker 2: The algorithm feeds them a steady die of things they're
Speaker 2: interested in and expands their knowledge base in learning and
Speaker 2: kind of sort of tricks them into learning where it
Speaker 2: becomes fun and engaging on a personal level, just like
Speaker 2: social media is. And now they're hooked on this, and
Speaker 2: you put that in the classroom and ban the phone
Speaker 2: and give them a device that is the alternate to
Speaker 2: social media and all the stuff coming at you. And
Speaker 2: that's how kids learn today. They learn on social media,
Speaker 2: they learn through digital interaction. If you do that in
Speaker 2: the classroom, kids now become smarter, more engaged, more learned.
Speaker 2: But what happens to the educational system the computer replaces
Speaker 2: the teacher can't have that in America, can we because
Speaker 2: of what's at stake? There's also the is she mentioned
Speaker 2: important too? The social interaction thing? But is this like
Speaker 2: the it's like clickbait, right, This is what the educational
Speaker 2: system doesn't want you to know. This one weird old
Speaker 2: trick for saving us a lot of money and getting
Speaker 2: a better student. Yeah, I know, too much thinking on
Speaker 2: a Friday morning, So we'll switch it up. How about
Speaker 2: Will Dance from ABC? Got some streaming and movies to cover,
Speaker 2: and I think the most exciting Hollywood story right now
Speaker 2: is Tiger Woods. Nothing to do with Hollywood, but good
Speaker 2: lord head to withdraw from the Masters because his wrists
Speaker 2: are sore from them cuffs seven hundred ww.
Speaker 7: Now a man who has entertainment reporting coursing through his veins,
Speaker 7: which makes him a medical entity.
Speaker 1: He is ABC will Dance from New York?
Speaker 2: All right, we'll do a quick check of entertainment stuff
Speaker 2: this weekend and will Gance from New York on the
Speaker 2: show this morning on the Big One. And I'm gonna
Speaker 2: throw a curve ball off the bet because I was
Speaker 2: just reading I don't really watch the show The Bachelorette,
Speaker 2: but the fact they canceled this thing is absolutely such
Speaker 2: a fascinating story to me because the production I had
Speaker 2: already faced challenges with you know, they knew about this
Speaker 2: in the background and from twenty twenty three, and all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, now it comes out and it's the
Speaker 2: most bizarre social media meets real life thing ever that
Speaker 2: you know, she's beating the crap out of her husband
Speaker 2: in front of their kid, which is horrible. But the
Speaker 2: fact that took three years and they missed this or
Speaker 2: thought it wouldn't be a big deal is astonishing to me.
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, I have to imagine that the video
Speaker 7: was unknown to production prior to Like, of course they
Speaker 7: knew about the charges that were filed against certain all
Speaker 7: of that stuff, But I can't imagine that anyone had
Speaker 7: seen that video and went ahead in greenlit her at
Speaker 7: the bachelorette already, you know, and of course the video
Speaker 7: we don't know what happened before it really or after.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it really feels wild.
Speaker 7: And my guess is, like, to spare some of the
Speaker 7: money that they're you know losing and not airing this show,
Speaker 7: and all the advertisers who had agreed to to you know,
Speaker 7: pay for ads during the Bachelorette and stuff.
Speaker 1: They'll have to repurpose the footage for something.
Speaker 7: I mean to to it's it's a multimillion dollar lot
Speaker 7: to just completely not air that that stuff anywhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you wonder who leaked it at that point too,
Speaker 2: because I mean literally, like before the show dropped, they
Speaker 2: had the teasers, they had all ready to go, and
Speaker 2: then they went, well, never mind, we're canceling. I went
Speaker 2: from hey, here's the premiere to we're canceling. That's crazy.
Speaker 7: I mean, she they she was invited to the Oscars
Speaker 7: this year. She was on the Oscars red carpet. That's
Speaker 7: how certain they were that this thing was going to air.
Speaker 6: Who released Who was it?
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 2: You think it was the boyfriend?
Speaker 7: It would have to be someone on that from that, no,
Speaker 7: I would imagine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, question screwed her and ABC as well. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's that's amazing that that downward spiral. It probably even
Speaker 2: because she lost. It's probably even worse than Tiger Woods
Speaker 2: and his arrest too, right like right before the right
Speaker 2: before the Masters. Like if you saw that police video
Speaker 2: of the body camp video, it's not good for Tiger Woods.
Speaker 7: No, this is this is worse though, I would say,
Speaker 7: because Tiger can can go get some treatment and come
Speaker 7: back and play again, you know, in six months or
Speaker 7: something like that. But I can't see how Taylor Frankie
Speaker 7: Paul could ever come back from this.
Speaker 2: I think also because Tiger Woods, you know, he's been
Speaker 2: beat up so much. And if you know anything about
Speaker 2: golfer not even out, you know he's had multiple back surgeries,
Speaker 2: is in pain, and we know about painkiller addiction and
Speaker 2: you shouldn't be driving on opiates.
Speaker 6: And I'm assuming that's what he was on.
Speaker 2: But I think there's more empathy for Tiger Woods than
Speaker 2: there would be for Taylor Frankie Paul.
Speaker 1: I would have to agree with you.
Speaker 7: And I also think if the video, if their kid
Speaker 7: was not in that video, you could almost come back
Speaker 7: from it, you know, But the fact that the kid
Speaker 7: is there, no, too much.
Speaker 2: Not not happening. All right, There's something I've called the drama.
Speaker 2: It's what platform is that? Or is that a movie?
Speaker 2: It's a movie? Is that a movie?
Speaker 1: It's a movie on the big screen.
Speaker 2: I can't tell anymore what's on streaming and what's on
Speaker 2: the theaters. It's like, I have no idea. That's why
Speaker 2: I ask you that's why I have you on Ganz.
Speaker 7: Exactly, And honestly, if you waited forty eight hours, the
Speaker 7: answer would probably be different, you know.
Speaker 3: But right now.
Speaker 7: It's it's in the movie theaters. This is Zendiya and
Speaker 7: Robert Pattinson, and they play a couple who are about
Speaker 7: to get married, and just a couple of days before
Speaker 7: the wedding, they're at dinner with their friends. There's four
Speaker 7: of them, and the question comes up, what is the
Speaker 7: worst thing You've ever done? And Zendeya's answer to that
Speaker 7: question is enough to send her fiance into a total spiral.
Speaker 1: And I marrying a monster? Do we go through at
Speaker 1: the wedding?
Speaker 7: Blah blah blah, And a lot of the trailers for
Speaker 7: this make it seem like at the rom com. I
Speaker 7: would call it a very very dark comedy. And while
Speaker 7: I was watching it, I mean I was stressed out,
Speaker 7: and you keep on asking yourself what would I do
Speaker 7: in this situation? It's it's they're very very good in it.
Speaker 1: It's it's unlike any movies I've seen in a while.
Speaker 7: So if you're looking for something a real thought provoking,
Speaker 7: sort of talkie type.
Speaker 1: What would I do? Movie, definitely we're checking this out.
Speaker 6: Okay, good, good.
Speaker 2: Now she's more of the actions because she was a
Speaker 2: Spider Man and both Spider Man's and which was it
Speaker 2: The Greatest Showman she was in which was actually she was.
Speaker 1: In the Greatest Showman.
Speaker 7: And she's in Yeah, she's in like four big movies
Speaker 7: this year, Dune three, The Odyssey, she'll be in Spider
Speaker 7: Man again, and then this So she's everywhere.
Speaker 2: Gotcha all right? So that is in theaters right now.
Speaker 2: And Netflix has something I called something Very Bad is
Speaker 2: Going Going to Happen.
Speaker 6: I love the title.
Speaker 7: Yeah, So this is funnily enough also about a couple
Speaker 7: getting ready to get married.
Speaker 1: The woman starts to.
Speaker 7: See these signs and have a real uneasy feeling that
Speaker 7: maybe she shouldn't go through with it. Like she gets
Speaker 7: a letter that says, don't marry him. And this is
Speaker 7: from the Duffer brothers who did Stranger Things, So it's
Speaker 7: similar in like, there's a real atmosphere about this thing.
Speaker 7: You realize that it's gonna be spooky, it's gonna be
Speaker 7: scary right from the jump. All the episodes are streaming
Speaker 7: now on Netflix, and it is definitely for people who
Speaker 7: like scary.
Speaker 2: Stuff and Finally something drops on Amazon called a Crime
Speaker 2: one oh one.
Speaker 6: The cast looks great.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so this is Chris Emsworth playing a jewel thief
Speaker 7: and he's like a good guy jewel thief. He doesn't
Speaker 7: hurt anybody, and he recruits halle Berry, who's an insurance broker,
Speaker 7: to help give him some information.
Speaker 1: To pull off his next heist.
Speaker 7: But then a rival jewel three thief gets thrown into
Speaker 7: the mix, and that guy is violent, so there's.
Speaker 1: A lot of card chases.
Speaker 7: Mark Ruffalo is the cop who's trying to solve this
Speaker 7: whole thing the whole time. And yeah, it's a lot
Speaker 7: of fun for anyone who likes an action packed heist
Speaker 7: type of movie.
Speaker 2: All right, so crime, you got crime, you got bad
Speaker 2: things happening, you got drama. That's exactly what you need
Speaker 2: on Easter weekend.
Speaker 7: Hey, nothing is more dramatic than coming back from the dead.
Speaker 1: So I'm just keeping paid here.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not gonna be any it's bullieve me. This
Speaker 2: is even much milder than that probably is going to
Speaker 2: happen around your house with all the relatives over kids
Speaker 2: high on chocolate. It's all going to unravel. So in
Speaker 2: real life, this is mild. He's will Gans with two
Speaker 2: s's at will Gans. He's our guy in New York,
Speaker 2: got his cover when it comes to streaming and movies
Speaker 2: and pop culture and everything else.
Speaker 6: Appreciate you body, have a great weekend. We'll talk next Friday.
Speaker 1: All right, sounds good. Take care there you go.
Speaker 2: It's a Scott Sloan show and this is the home
Speaker 2: of the Red seven hundred WLW. Friday Morning, Sloana here
Speaker 2: seven hundred WW. Head to the weekend, a much deserved weekend,
Speaker 2: hopefully for you. Hopefully get some time down Easter Sunday,
Speaker 2: do what you do on Easter Sunday, Church, maybe brunch,
Speaker 2: maybe Easter egg hunt, maybe possibly golf, who knows. And
Speaker 2: the weather's gonna be just kind of like up and
Speaker 2: down this weekend for sure. Coming up at the ten
Speaker 2: oh we go do something self serving at ten oh seven,
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna save that a little self serve from
Speaker 2: the station. One of our prominent figures here at seven
Speaker 2: hundred WW is leaving and I want to bid them farewell.
Speaker 2: It's the exit interview coming up for our Jack Crumley.
Speaker 2: The exit interview trying to get my goal is in
Speaker 2: the segment after ten o'clock is he goes from leaving
Speaker 2: for another opportunity to be getting actually getting fired. If
Speaker 2: I cant him to do something, canna be fired by
Speaker 2: the end of the segment. I think they'd be fantastic
Speaker 2: Austin a little bit later on to at ten thirty five,
Speaker 2: we'll get into sports. Of course, for the weekend, we've
Speaker 2: got NCAA tournament action this weekend, we've got the final four, Yukon, Illinois, Arizona, Michigan.
Speaker 2: Hope your brackets are okay. I'm hanging around like top
Speaker 2: third of ours. Still, I got Michigan winning and all,
Speaker 2: so I still got a chance. And of course we'll
Speaker 2: get it into Nicolodolo.
Speaker 6: You know, I hate.
Speaker 2: You hate to punch down on this because it's not
Speaker 2: a fair parison at all.
Speaker 6: I get it.
Speaker 2: But I'm watching and I'm sick for the puck. So
Speaker 2: I'm watching hockey and it's almost playoff time, which is
Speaker 2: a great time, and I watch a player get hit
Speaker 2: in the face with a ninety plus mile an hour
Speaker 2: shot right, I mean right under the visor of the helmet.
Speaker 2: Hits him in the face and there's blood and everything,
Speaker 2: and he gets up and skates off on his own
Speaker 2: and then he's back like a couple shifts later, so
Speaker 2: maybe about five six minutes later, guy comes back. I've
Speaker 2: seen a player in the last week get hit into
Speaker 2: the boards, into the glass. I got about eight stitches
Speaker 2: across the bottom of his chin, bleeding all over the place.
Speaker 2: Goes and gets ditch up, comes that back out a
Speaker 2: couple shifts later, a couple of minutes later, winds up
Speaker 2: getting hit and cutting that chin all open again, and
Speaker 2: then goes back, gets ditch up again, and then comes back.
Speaker 2: So I look at that and go, I know you
Speaker 2: got a blister on your finger. Guy, I get it.
Speaker 2: He's a pitcher. He's holding the gradaways, gripping the ball
Speaker 2: and spinning it and it's Nicko Lodolo. But my god,
Speaker 2: it's a I don't think I've ever heard of a
Speaker 2: blister causing more problems for a guy getting paid million
Speaker 2: of dollars than Nicolo Dolts. And it's not like he
Speaker 2: doesn't want to be out there, you know, I just
Speaker 2: I don't understand what it. It seems like it's something
Speaker 2: that could be fixed. So he had his rehab start
Speaker 2: yesterday low at Daytona, and they wanted him for sixty
Speaker 2: to sixty five pitches. After the fortieth pitch he was out.
Speaker 2: He was scheduled to rejoin the rotation against Miami coming up.
Speaker 2: And now that's and that's obviously it's not going to happen.
Speaker 2: You got a hundred green Obviously with bone chips, elbow chips,
Speaker 2: that's a much more serious thing. But you just wonder
Speaker 2: about the future of Nicolodolo at this point, and the
Speaker 2: Reds for that matter, because he's a big part of
Speaker 2: what it is they're going to do this year. And
Speaker 2: should we certainly should be concerned about this. It's a
Speaker 2: it's now a chronic problem. It missed, you know what,
Speaker 2: twenty three games on the IL last year in August
Speaker 2: when he needed them down the stretch, and now he
Speaker 2: are starting it and okay, he's out, all right, it's
Speaker 2: I think we got this under control. Well, gets out
Speaker 2: of you know, he's in spring training, goes down. Okay,
Speaker 2: he's going to come back, and he goes his rehab
Speaker 2: assignment up. The blister's flared up again. I mean, at
Speaker 2: some point, what do you do. Can you have like
Speaker 2: fingertip replacement surgery. I'd put some robotic thing in there,
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I have no idea blisters and maybe
Speaker 2: he's just more prone to blister, which is sad because
Speaker 2: he's got all the talent in the world. He just
Speaker 2: can't get past the blister thing. I can see some
Speaker 2: players are injury prone by the nature of how they played,
Speaker 2: and of course that was that was Junior when he
Speaker 2: came back to Cincinnati, damaged goods for playing on that
Speaker 2: artificial turf in Seattle of those years, and you know
Speaker 2: he wasn't the same guy, but you know he stills
Speaker 2: us some incredible things and leading this team, there's no
Speaker 2: doubt about it. Couldn't get into the Promised Land. They'd
Speaker 2: built the ballpark for King Griffy Jr. And it didn't
Speaker 2: play out as expected. But you know, some players are
Speaker 2: more prone to injury for whatever reason. Is it bad
Speaker 2: luck or just the way their body's wired, and who knows.
Speaker 2: But the Lodolo blister thing is just it's got to
Speaker 2: be Frustrated's sure it's frustrating for him too, because he's
Speaker 2: pitched his whole life and now you know, all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, I've got this blister thing going on. I
Speaker 2: can't solve it. How do you that's why I don't
Speaker 2: know how many other pitchers suffer from blister problems. She
Speaker 2: can't be the only one. What about the pitching glove?
Speaker 2: If you have a glove for the other hand, what
Speaker 2: about a hand for the pitcher. Well, that's unfair because
Speaker 2: it gives them a Yeah, I guess it would be unfair.
Speaker 2: But some quarterbacks in the NFL Ben Roethlisberger comes to mind.
Speaker 2: Other quarterbacks have worn the glove and be able to
Speaker 2: throw in spirals with them. Well that's different. Is it
Speaker 2: really that different? And you don't have to wear one,
Speaker 2: but there's an option there. Does it give you an
Speaker 2: unfair advantage? As long as it's smooth leather? And maybe
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, you know, throwing a ball.
Speaker 2: We've all thrown ball before, we've all played baseball, presumably
Speaker 2: I've never thrown it ninety plus models an hour at
Speaker 2: several different pitches out in a pitcher. But I don't
Speaker 2: know if it gives you unfair advantage. Can you actually
Speaker 2: even feel and throw the ball that you need to
Speaker 2: with that?
Speaker 6: I don't know. I'm just speculating because I'm the idea guy.
Speaker 6: I bring the ideas.
Speaker 2: It's up to you to do with what you want
Speaker 2: to do with them, whether the Reds and Major League
Speaker 2: Baseball use that idea or not. These these are chems.
Speaker 2: These are pearls. I'm spitting out here, folks. Pearls, absolute pearls.
Speaker 2: So Nicolodolo done for the foresettle future. Here we go,
Speaker 2: and here we go and headed to Miami too, And
Speaker 2: they've been playing pretty good baseball lately, so we'll see
Speaker 2: what happens where three and three going to their first
Speaker 2: away stand of the twenty twenty six campaign. Here's good
Speaker 2: news for women, but especially good news for men. No,
Speaker 2: I think this is better for women. Honestly, it's kind
Speaker 2: of sexist. The FDA has approved a new drug to
Speaker 2: treat menopause, and it's one of the few non hormonal
Speaker 2: treatments for symptoms including night sweats, hot flashes, and that
Speaker 2: just looks awful. You're standing there talking a woman of
Speaker 2: a certain age, and all of a sudden, she just
Speaker 2: starts melting in front of you, and I'm like, wait,
Speaker 2: what what's going on here? It's not it's cold. I'm
Speaker 2: sweating to death. And it has to do with the
Speaker 2: nerves and the hypothalamus region of the brain. They become hyperactive.
Speaker 2: That's your body temperature and everything goes nuts because you're
Speaker 2: going through the change and hormonal treatments. Typically, as I
Speaker 2: understand it, you have estrogen and progesterone. I think it's
Speaker 2: the other the other hormone that's involved here. And now
Speaker 2: this is non hormonal and it targets the receptors. Now
Speaker 2: we're going after the receptors. Receptors are good to target,
Speaker 2: and so in the clinicals. Three out of four women
Speaker 2: experience reduced symptoms and about fifty percent using a placebo.
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe not much better than a sugar tablet,
Speaker 2: but it's a one a day pill. It's out now
Speaker 2: thirty days. Cost six hundred and twenty five dollars. But hey,
Speaker 2: you know what trump our X good RX. Maybe your
Speaker 2: insurance maybe you can get that that price down a
Speaker 2: little bit. But that seems to be a If you
Speaker 2: can get that down and eliminate the hot flashes and
Speaker 2: the you know, the the other hormonal symptoms out there
Speaker 2: which are not pleasant for the woman equally not as pleasant,
Speaker 2: equally unpleasant for the spouse, that would be a great thing.
Speaker 2: That would be a significant metal metal achievement, honestly, from
Speaker 2: a medicinal stample where we have all these drugs coming
Speaker 2: out at any one time that you if you watch
Speaker 2: streaming or TV shows or whatever it is, every other
Speaker 2: ad is for some sort of drug. And we know
Speaker 2: that here at seven hundred WW because largely involves male genitalia.
Speaker 2: Those commercials, it's come at you all the time. And
Speaker 2: now there's something for you ladies. That's that's actually, that's
Speaker 2: a really really good one that may save a lot
Speaker 2: of marriages. That may save a lot of marriages, speaking
Speaker 2: of medical advances, this is really interesting. Nike is working
Speaker 2: on a I don't even know called a shoe or not.
Speaker 2: This is for everyday people like me, and this isn't
Speaker 2: for Olympic athletes and everything else pretty much anyone, anyone,
Speaker 2: me and you. It is a foot it's a powered
Speaker 2: footwear system, so it has it's like an exoskeleton, basically
Speaker 2: lightweight robotics to boost your running and walking speed. So
Speaker 2: it's like an e bike for your feet. And it
Speaker 2: looks like an ankle brace and has a motor or
Speaker 2: drive belt and a rechargeable battery in there.
Speaker 6: It's pretty sleekly.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it looks pretty good because it's Nike, but
Speaker 2: it's not designed for competitive earlead athletes. It's for me
Speaker 2: and you. So if you run at a ten to
Speaker 2: twelve or fourteen minute mile pace, this will help you
Speaker 2: and you can go farther and faster. It's right now.
Speaker 2: They have If you bicycle, you have bike. They have
Speaker 2: battery operated bike. Basically, the pedal assists is what it is.
Speaker 2: An e bike and it helps you, especially as you're older.
Speaker 2: You don't want to stay active, but going up a
Speaker 2: hill maybe challenging, and it, you know, it can kick
Speaker 2: in and help you do that. Some say it's cheating,
Speaker 2: but you know, hey, it gets you out there doing
Speaker 2: what you you know, getting some exercise. You're still exercising,
Speaker 2: you're still pedaling, So I think there's something to it there.
Speaker 2: This may be it for runners. The only problems so
Speaker 2: that some of us, when you're spend all the time
Speaker 2: running later in life, the knees go out. So if
Speaker 2: you have something to help the knees, that may be.
Speaker 2: That may also be maybe just I don't Nike can
Speaker 2: go with it like a whole exo body just to
Speaker 2: do the work force might take a few minutes to charge.
Speaker 2: Depending on how big a boy you are. But you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Uh, coming up next some self
Speaker 2: serving bs with Jack Crumley said, we'll do the exit
Speaker 2: interview of news director Jack Cromley just ahead here seven hundred.
Speaker 6: Ww since then, do you want to.
Speaker 8: Be an American's only here?
Speaker 2: Seven hundred? I love doing these self serving things right here,
Speaker 2: these self service serving things, uh today are my friend
Speaker 2: and our news director of the last twenty something thousand years.
Speaker 2: Jack Crumley is scheduled to die, so he will. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's nice, it's on the schedule. Jack crumbley won. This
Speaker 2: is his exit interview. So after how many years your
Speaker 2: news director? Since twenty nineteen when Jeff Henderson took over
Speaker 2: for the late Jeff Henderson. Now he's about to be
Speaker 2: the late Jack Crumley. Right, Wow, that's been that long.
Speaker 2: And you've been here for twenty something years, and so
Speaker 2: you're leaving for greener pastures. I'm not sure what BUCkies
Speaker 2: you're going to work at. Maybe the one in you brites,
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. But yeah, And every time someone leaves
Speaker 2: of prominence, and so I would say, you're fairly prominent
Speaker 2: here at this radio station. Well, I've been a voice
Speaker 2: on this station for such a long time in wanting out.
Speaker 2: My goal here then in the segment is to you
Speaker 2: to tell stories so by the end of it, you
Speaker 2: don't leave on your own. You're actually fired. So to
Speaker 2: have someone from management come in and go, okay, you're out,
Speaker 2: this is like an hr half yeah yeah yeah, but
Speaker 2: also so you But because if we do that, then
Speaker 2: you get on plumbing for a couple of days, So
Speaker 2: start your nerd. It sounds like a win win, sounds
Speaker 2: like a win for everybody here too, So in your tenure.
Speaker 2: So first, how did you you ended up at LW.
Speaker 2: You were in Toledo and you came down here.
Speaker 9: I was in Toledo and I came down here, and
Speaker 9: I have you to thank for that. Twenty years ago,
Speaker 9: in October of six, I had been up in Toledo
Speaker 9: doing airborne traffic Wow, back at a time when broadcast
Speaker 9: companies thought spending money on a little airplane flying around
Speaker 9: in Toledo for traffic reports was money.
Speaker 2: Wells sure, sure, And then on top of that they realized, well,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, Toledo, there's no traffic here, which is
Speaker 2: why then we all got laid off.
Speaker 9: Correct, And I knew a guy one of the guys
Speaker 9: that I knew up in Toledo by the name of
Speaker 9: Jeremy Baumhauer. Uh, let me know about you down here,
Speaker 9: and that there was an opening in the newsroom, and
Speaker 9: that is how I got my foot in the door.
Speaker 9: And I will always be grateful.
Speaker 7: To thank you.
Speaker 6: I appreciate that. I just it was luck.
Speaker 2: I knew I was going to ask that because I
Speaker 2: get a commercial for me made me look like a
Speaker 2: good guy for a change. Anyway, so too, I'm just
Speaker 2: surprised you're dumb enough to hang around that long.
Speaker 6: So it was fun, long.
Speaker 2: Be prom but it was we have a good time,
Speaker 2: good fun, We have a good The funniest story was
Speaker 2: though you had just started at l W and I
Speaker 2: was doing nine to midnight, you were on nine nine
Speaker 2: and I was doing two to ten, and I get
Speaker 2: this phone call going, hey, are you watching the Sopranos
Speaker 2: finale this weekend?
Speaker 9: That's right, that's how I last It was that was
Speaker 9: the last season of that show. And I had someone
Speaker 9: who was taping it for me and mailing me a videotape. Hey,
Speaker 9: because I didn't have HBO when I moved down here, yea,
Speaker 9: and I and I didn't want to miss the finale.
Speaker 9: It was going to be the biggest thing in the woods,
Speaker 9: and so yeah, you you and your wife were nice
Speaker 9: enough to have me over at your house to watch
Speaker 9: that finale live.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well i'd like it was a big screen, which
Speaker 2: was like probably forty inches back then. Yeah, and the
Speaker 2: funniest you tell the stories. We're sitting there watching it,
Speaker 2: and if you don't know Sopranos ends, it's a really
Speaker 2: weird ending to the show. It's a very abrupt cut
Speaker 2: to black. Yeah, they're playing Journey Don't Stop Believing, and
Speaker 2: they just stopped the song and TQ was black. We're
Speaker 2: all looking. He's like, ooh, I'm looking at the remote
Speaker 2: yelling at my wife. Well you thought she did something.
Speaker 2: You shot off the.
Speaker 9: Couch like someone had blasted you within like an ejector seat,
Speaker 9: and you were running for the TV because the immediate
Speaker 9: assumption was that something had gone wrong technologically, so you're
Speaker 9: running for the TV to try to make an adjustment.
Speaker 9: Michelle's screaming at the top of her lungs, and then
Speaker 9: after like ten seconds, the credits started to rolling. You're like, oh,
Speaker 9: that was on purpose, and it was I will always room.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was very funny. We looked at You're like, oh,
Speaker 6: that was kind of dumb.
Speaker 2: Sure, it's going to go on in the middle of
Speaker 2: the show, that's but technology was that iffy back in
Speaker 2: the day. You don't know what's going on. The sheer
Speaker 2: terror that the show cut out right at the end.
Speaker 2: We lost our mind and that was like one of
Speaker 2: the most controversial endings to achiev show probably in history, indeed,
Speaker 2: I think for the end of The Ranos. In your
Speaker 2: tenure grade and news, what are the most memorable stories
Speaker 2: news stories you remember?
Speaker 9: Most memorable news stories you know early on when I
Speaker 9: was here is when Cincinnati was in the aftermath of
Speaker 9: the whole Marcus Faisal case, which, as you recall, was
Speaker 9: a little boy who I believe had autism and was
Speaker 9: being fostered and the people who were fostering him ultimately
Speaker 9: were charged with killing him after they had lied about
Speaker 9: the fact that he had run away. And I remember
Speaker 9: hearing stories before I got here, of people out in
Speaker 9: the community like doing searches.
Speaker 2: It was a big public thing.
Speaker 9: We got to find this kid and then come to
Speaker 9: find out he had been very tragically he was gone,
Speaker 9: and all the uproar of the trial Liz Carroll's trial
Speaker 9: and then the that was I mean, that was the
Speaker 9: biggest story of the year here for like three or
Speaker 9: four years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was two thousand and August of two thousand
Speaker 2: and six. I remember, I don't remember that. It was
Speaker 2: such a horrible story because they took his remains and
Speaker 2: burned him and he locked him in a closet so
Speaker 2: they could go to a family and it was August.
Speaker 2: It was just a nightmare, and they had a fan
Speaker 2: in there and they thought that, you know, I just
Speaker 2: came back. Well, even them in there like a I
Speaker 2: don't know, like a like a cat, like I will
Speaker 2: leave the food out or something just left in the closet.
Speaker 2: The poor baby. Just just horrible circumstances. One of the
Speaker 2: worst stories I've ever heard. But I remember vividly at
Speaker 2: the time because the the the foster mom was on
Speaker 2: camera at Julis Park and normally when there's a family
Speaker 2: member we're looking for, you know, okay, we gotta we
Speaker 2: gotta find him, and he's missing, and there were nobody
Speaker 2: behind her normally, like you see police officers and prosecuted,
Speaker 2: like people will stand behind you and like we're watching
Speaker 2: that press com was like man, something's missing here, and
Speaker 2: somebody in them won't put their finger and go yeah,
Speaker 2: there's no police standing about it. When you when you
Speaker 2: stand up by yourself, yeah, you know that she was
Speaker 2: the suspect, and that was like literally a day after
Speaker 2: that happened. But of course they're both buried underneath the
Speaker 2: jail right now as well, well you should be. And
Speaker 2: there was another woman involved who was like the girlfriend,
Speaker 2: right and it was crazy just just she was the
Speaker 2: one that flipped and took the plea deal crazy horror.
Speaker 2: It seems like, you know, because you're kind of a
Speaker 2: news junkie that Cincinnati and I we always joke about this,
Speaker 2: but we have the most bizarre thing. Like I don't
Speaker 2: think any other city has the weird stories that we
Speaker 2: have happen like they do here.
Speaker 9: There's there are a lot of unique headlines that come
Speaker 9: out of this town that are rooted in like the
Speaker 9: history of the city and like it's there, whether you're
Speaker 9: talking about like shocking tragedies or just sort of weird quirks. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 9: there's a lot of this to this listen, Cincinnati's got
Speaker 9: a ton of personality, it really does.
Speaker 2: We have like the weirdest it's and it's a horror
Speaker 2: another horrible story, but the right the hitting, the hinting thing,
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, the kid gets shot, the dad goes and
Speaker 2: runs over a deputy to me, I don't know where
Speaker 2: else in the world that happens but Cincinnati, Ohio. And
Speaker 2: it's not. Sometimes they're laughable, like we had to stretch.
Speaker 2: Remember when cows are getting loose all the time?
Speaker 9: Two pops a moo and another pop. Shout out to
Speaker 9: uh the former Rachel Murray.
Speaker 2: Rachel Murray, two pops a moo and another shot was
Speaker 2: her teas before this is the ten thirty report.
Speaker 6: I'm Rachel Murray.
Speaker 2: What the hell Cole's got loose on Interstate and that
Speaker 2: it was a stretch where that was happening often like
Speaker 2: every few months, like I don't know something that overturned
Speaker 2: or I can't believe. We didn't have a we didn't
Speaker 2: have a sounder that was just live stock loose. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: we had I remember like Coyle's were loose at at
Speaker 2: what the Home Days and Chevy It we had a
Speaker 2: tractor trailer full of pigs that got loose, and it
Speaker 2: was just it was this.
Speaker 6: Weird thing that was going on.
Speaker 2: Although no one could figure out why it was uh
Speaker 2: and then for a stretch we had like before they
Speaker 2: fixed it was a litle tunnel. It would be shut
Speaker 2: down every couple of minutes, I felt like because some
Speaker 2: idiot would be would be driving around and you know,
Speaker 2: roll through the tunnel and block it for a day
Speaker 2: and a half. And yeah, we just got weird stories here.
Speaker 2: And it's a good news town. I think it's a
Speaker 2: great news town. It's a great town for it's a
Speaker 2: great town period, but it's it's a great news as
Speaker 2: you grew up in Cleveland, just outside.
Speaker 9: Of Cleveland is where I grew up, and yeah, moved
Speaker 9: here twenty years ago, and this is this is very
Speaker 9: much home.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And I think everyone who moves to Cincinnati
Speaker 2: goes and not everyone, of course, but yourself is like
Speaker 2: this is home now, this is home, this will always
Speaker 2: be home.
Speaker 9: I felt, and I felt that way the minute I
Speaker 9: got here. I was not very happy in Toledo, and
Speaker 9: getting to move out of there and come here was
Speaker 9: what I felt to be at the time and even
Speaker 9: still was a big upgrade.
Speaker 6: For Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: It's just there's a there's a great sense here at
Speaker 2: the station there's a lot of talented people here, there's
Speaker 2: some untalented people. Let's start with them. That's part of
Speaker 2: the exit. This is the exit interview for Jack Crumley here,
Speaker 2: this is the last day at seven. Who's the worst
Speaker 2: person you know that works in this building? Yeah, there
Speaker 2: is no worst person. I get at That's fine. I know,
Speaker 2: but I know, I know You're probably gonna say Matt Reese,
Speaker 2: and I'd agree with you.
Speaker 9: Oh, come on, that's that's one of the best. He's
Speaker 9: out there right now producing doing stuff.
Speaker 2: I heard him the other day and it was a
Speaker 2: couple of we always will have like a text chain going,
Speaker 2: and he started with like, yesterday, okay, Pam BONDI gets fired,
Speaker 2: We've got a war. We got all the stuff done,
Speaker 2: and like the first it's a it's a what four
Speaker 2: minute newscasts. The first three minutes we're all about, well,
Speaker 2: we're going to pray the steps and then tomorrow's good Friday.
Speaker 2: I think you really had to sit down and talk
Speaker 2: with him, because if I flipped over to the to
Speaker 2: the Catholic station, they did more news than he did.
Speaker 9: Listen, that was even the lead for the Catholic station.
Speaker 9: It is always the policy to lead local. We want
Speaker 9: local as our bread and butter, and praying the steps
Speaker 9: is a century old tradition. We talked about just a
Speaker 9: minute ago, how much personality and history this city has.
Speaker 2: Praying the steps is a big thing.
Speaker 6: Well are you going to.
Speaker 2: Miss most I'm gonna miss you a lot. Well that's
Speaker 2: not true. Sure, well I know, But even so, what
Speaker 2: do I bring to the table. I'm talking about your
Speaker 2: news like news wise, who back in the news room.
Speaker 9: I mean, listen, you know you talk about when you're
Speaker 9: when you're at work and the sort of the day
Speaker 9: to day grind of doing things, whether that means putting
Speaker 9: together a schedule or finding stories or getting people on
Speaker 9: the phone or writing a newscast like all that sort
Speaker 9: of fades off into into the distance. And the important
Speaker 9: stuff is the people. You know, seeing Brian and Rick
Speaker 9: in here every morning, and and and Sandy, and you know,
Speaker 9: maybe somebody given Matt a hard time about something and
Speaker 9: Matt giving it right back. It's it's a really wonderful
Speaker 9: crew here. And I am going to miss the people.
Speaker 2: I will say this, and I think it's probably to
Speaker 2: anyone listening in their workplace. It's the same thing after
Speaker 2: a while you realize it's like, yeah, you maybe maybe
Speaker 2: you love your fortunate love what you do. Yeah, maybe
Speaker 2: you love who you work for, maybe not whatever, But
Speaker 2: it's always it's the people. It's not the job. Always,
Speaker 2: it's always the people, and it's it's hilarious. So you
Speaker 2: can never recapture that moment if you leave, or if
Speaker 2: you're tired, or you know, whatever it might be. It's
Speaker 2: it's really hard to do that. But that's what you cherish,
Speaker 2: is the people and the memories and and the camaraderie
Speaker 2: and things like that. What is the funniest thing you
Speaker 2: ever remember happening off the air? Oh my gosh, off
Speaker 2: the I'm gonna put you on the spot here, oh boy,
Speaker 2: because there's lots of.
Speaker 6: Lots of stuff.
Speaker 2: But I said, you know, what would be a great
Speaker 2: podcast is the stuff that happens off the air that
Speaker 2: you're not allowed to talk about on here. Yeah. But
Speaker 2: then but often we talk about the stuff on the
Speaker 2: air and that that happens behind the scenes.
Speaker 6: But there's always some funny stuff.
Speaker 9: Boy, you know, the back when having video like you know,
Speaker 9: before we really had uh phones that had video cameras
Speaker 9: on them, and we're taking like back when video was
Speaker 9: kind of a novelty.
Speaker 2: Still.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I remember there was a prank that got pulled.
Speaker 9: It ended up being on the air because it was
Speaker 9: part of a promotion. But like there was footage of
Speaker 9: like William Seig getting into a fight in the hallway,
Speaker 9: which led to like some kind of suspension because somebody
Speaker 9: was going on vacation. Was Darryl was a big fan
Speaker 9: of doing doing that, goofs like that to mess with people.
Speaker 9: And like somebody was in a hallway shooting a video
Speaker 9: and then like all of a sudden, you saw this
Speaker 9: ruckus in the background and that led to something else,
Speaker 9: and you know, stuff like that was always really fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the funniest thing is and and Jack Crumley's here.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you know, the late Jack Crumley,
Speaker 2: and I made a mistake because last time I did
Speaker 2: it was Bill Cunningham when he fell off the chair
Speaker 2: on a Sunday night showing it's hilarious and I was
Speaker 2: goofing on the air about it about him, you know,
Speaker 2: the late Bill Cunningham and a head injury and close
Speaker 2: head injury and as he died literally died behind the
Speaker 2: mic in the Inquirer Cincinnati com had actually wrote a
Speaker 2: story about Bill Cunningham not dying, like I've never I've
Speaker 2: never remember a story coming out where somebody's written not
Speaker 2: an what's the opposite of an obituary. I don't know,
Speaker 2: a birth announcement.
Speaker 6: I spose I suppose it is. Yeah, it was like Bill.
Speaker 9: Cunningham is not dead, right, and then tomorrow we'll have
Speaker 9: another person who's also nice.
Speaker 2: Back in the day, Willie used to kill off the
Speaker 2: truck and Bosoll all the time, like he'd be late
Speaker 2: or something. I Bozo's dead, long lived the Bozo. And
Speaker 2: now it's like we take everything so serious. I think
Speaker 2: that's something else that's changed. We take everything today so
Speaker 2: seriously when it comes to news and talk, right, it's like,
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know why we are. And even
Speaker 2: in real life like social media, everything is you know,
Speaker 2: we just had April Fol's Day, Remember April Fol's jokes
Speaker 2: for some of the really good people are afraid to
Speaker 2: do that stuff anymore.
Speaker 9: Well, and uh yeah, listen, I mean you can be
Speaker 9: professional and you can have it's possible to be professional
Speaker 9: and have fun. But I mean, I don't know, people
Speaker 9: get when it's written down, when something's on the internet,
Speaker 9: that's the same thing as writing it down and then
Speaker 9: it's there forever. And the idea of say it, forget it,
Speaker 9: write it, regret it is still kind of a thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And it just seems like to stay everyone's
Speaker 2: just looking to get you too, But I'm not too.
Speaker 2: And you know a lot of good memories of your
Speaker 2: job too. But is it gotten harder to do news
Speaker 2: because of the scrutiny that that everything because of the
Speaker 2: filter of left and right and polics of course is
Speaker 2: a big part of the of the station, even though
Speaker 2: we're not at political station by any means, because there's
Speaker 2: all other entertainment on there versus politics that in that
Speaker 2: in this realm, it's do you feel like people are
Speaker 2: scrutinizing more like listeners especially or I don't know other
Speaker 2: media sources, do you?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think so. There's you know, because you're
Speaker 2: always accused your bias. Like I got an email yesterday
Speaker 2: from saying, I said, you know, I was because I said,
Speaker 2: you know, the advantage of taking a ran out is
Speaker 2: maybe you just got to wipe the slate clean every
Speaker 2: ten years instead of boots on the ground. This is
Speaker 2: what you do, and some have disagreed and said, you know,
Speaker 2: typical boomer. But then I'll I'll tack Trump on something
Speaker 2: and get the well, you're a liberal and disguised And
Speaker 2: it's kind of funny because I don't remember any point
Speaker 2: in history of like doing that, of just speaking your mind,
Speaker 2: and it's like you must be part of some secret agenda,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: And you guys in news know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think there maybe on a cultural level,
Speaker 9: there is a bit of a rush to want to
Speaker 9: put something in a category. We want to see something,
Speaker 9: categorize it, and then move on to the next thing.
Speaker 9: And people are maybe a little bit more complicated than that.
Speaker 9: Sometimes it's not always as convenient as well, you fit
Speaker 9: into this one category and that's what you are, and
Speaker 9: then we move on. People are complicated. I don't know
Speaker 9: that if the scrutiny is any worse, necessarily you might
Speaker 9: get it from a new angle as far as the
Speaker 9: Internet goes. But I mean, you know, going back twenty
Speaker 9: years when I started here, the phone would ring, and
Speaker 9: if somebody didn't like what they heard in a newscast,
Speaker 9: they'd let you know about it, or you know, here's
Speaker 9: something else I think you should check out. You know,
Speaker 9: back in like eight when gas prices, everyone was going
Speaker 9: crazy when gas was hitting like two fifty a gallon.
Speaker 9: I remember answering a ton of calls from people that
Speaker 9: were all upset about the price of gas and what
Speaker 9: are you going to do about it? It's like, guys,
Speaker 9: it's a global commodity. We live in a global.
Speaker 6: Nothing you can do about it, right right? Yeah.
Speaker 2: Jack Crumley's on the show, Jack Coursar, newsguy, news director,
Speaker 2: and today is his last day and he's moving on
Speaker 2: to something else.
Speaker 6: He will not disclose that. So the speculation was that.
Speaker 2: You're going to be the spokesperson for the Amy Acting
Speaker 2: campaign or Tiger Wood's new limo driver.
Speaker 9: I don't think he's hiring. I think that's that's a
Speaker 9: job he should have filled along time. I don't know
Speaker 9: what about can you pitch because you're prone to blisters?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 9: But you know, we had a great night with the
Speaker 9: dart team last night. I am I am on a
Speaker 9: dart team and we won ten five. The Sticky Bandits
Speaker 9: beat the Sticky that's our team name, the Sticky Bandits.
Speaker 9: We beat the Silverton Cafe Red eyes ten five last night.
Speaker 9: So I'm actually here to announce that I am joined
Speaker 9: a pro the pro to a lot of nil money
Speaker 9: in darts, and I plan on.
Speaker 2: It's kind of old news actually, because I heard seg
Speaker 2: sportscast this morning. He included in that the sticky sticky
Speaker 2: fingers jack probably and he got he threw up a
Speaker 2: bull's eye.
Speaker 9: You know, one of the best things, one of the
Speaker 9: best things that Seg ever did when we were doing darts,
Speaker 9: you know, because I would talk about what sort of
Speaker 9: fun I was having with my dart people. And the
Speaker 9: one year when the season was getting started, it was
Speaker 9: the first week of the season and Seg got on
Speaker 9: with Willie and the Stooge Report and talked about how
Speaker 9: well we're getting ready for the darts opening Day parade
Speaker 9: and they're they're going to close down Montgomery Road in
Speaker 9: Norwood and bronson Arroyal is going to be the Grand
Speaker 9: Marshall and like so many guys from so many teams
Speaker 9: week after we kept saying, yeah, did you guys really
Speaker 9: do a parade? It was like the EBN Fools Parade
Speaker 9: all over again. It is, and what's a while you'll
Speaker 9: do something like that?
Speaker 2: Because speaking of Final Memory here too, back in the day,
Speaker 2: because I was doing nine to mid night. You are
Speaker 2: also I was tons in the same time, and you
Speaker 2: can never do this anymore. To show how long ago
Speaker 2: this would I did this spoof on War of the
Speaker 2: Worlds something on Halloween, one of my all time favorites. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: And you go ahead lay it out.
Speaker 9: You did a bit on Halloween for the first hour
Speaker 9: of your show where you constructed this entire false thing
Speaker 9: that you were presenting as real. This was a War
Speaker 9: of the World's homage, and you know, the idea was
Speaker 9: that they had declared the city of Cleveland was bankrupt.
Speaker 9: The entire city of Cleveland was declared bankrupt, and everyone
Speaker 9: in Cleveland was going to have to come south on
Speaker 9: I seventy one, and people in Cincinnati were going to
Speaker 9: have to put them up in housing they were going
Speaker 9: to have to live. And to the idea of this,
Speaker 9: it was a Northeast Ohio invasion.
Speaker 2: Cleveland was in vain, coming down the highways, and it
Speaker 2: was the first hour of your show.
Speaker 9: We even made sure we talked with management ahead of time,
Speaker 9: and I had my nine to thirty News, which would
Speaker 9: have been halfway through your bit on this had there
Speaker 9: like I pulled a clip from a fake press conference
Speaker 9: that you would aired earlier, and we again we made
Speaker 9: sure this was all cleared ahead of time because this
Speaker 9: is a little better on it. And I remember the
Speaker 9: phone was ringing off the hook from people saying, yeah,
Speaker 9: what in the heck are you guys talking about? And
Speaker 9: I was getting them on tape to saying, yeah, what
Speaker 9: do you think about it? If you have to put
Speaker 9: up somebody from Cleveland, and then they get mad and
Speaker 9: hang up the phone. And I remember, in the midst
Speaker 9: of all this, the phone's ringing off the hook and
Speaker 9: it's wild.
Speaker 6: I was.
Speaker 9: I was full of adrenaline with how wild this was.
Speaker 9: And I remember asking you, well, what are you going
Speaker 9: to do for the other two hours of the show,
Speaker 9: and you just looked at me and you said, pick
Speaker 9: up the pieces.
Speaker 2: Pick up the pieces. Well, a boy, that was a hoot.
Speaker 6: It was fine.
Speaker 2: And it ended with the as I recall, we P
Speaker 2: and G got involved and dropped soap flakes as kind
Speaker 2: of like a repellent yep to keep the people from Cleveland.
Speaker 6: Any Cleveland News picked up on us.
Speaker 2: Soap flakes drove the clevelanders away and that's.
Speaker 6: How I want to believe.
Speaker 2: It was much much more entertaining and finier than the
Speaker 2: description we just gave it. But I'm telling you at
Speaker 2: this point I don't I don't remember much, but I
Speaker 2: was a leader. Hey, we're going to miss you tremendously,
Speaker 2: So good luck and what it is you do, whatever
Speaker 2: that is you're going. I'm sure you'll be in touch.
Speaker 2: And Jack Crumley leaving his news director. But twenty years
Speaker 2: here at the station is remarkable. So thank you for
Speaker 2: congratulations on your next adventure. I'm here because you got
Speaker 2: my foot little. Okay, there you go, Jack Crumley heard
Speaker 2: of your first going in the soft core porn starting
Speaker 2: on Monday. I gotta go. All right, there he goes.
Speaker 2: He's yeah, the management's waiting outside for you right now.
Speaker 6: See I did it. Finally he's gonna get fired. This
Speaker 6: is I was just.
Speaker 2: Believing to take a new job, and now the Inquire
Speaker 2: is going to run a story that says Jack Grumley
Speaker 2: has been and now it screws up his new job
Speaker 2: and he has to stay. This is great. This is
Speaker 2: the best bit ever. Seven underd WLW Austin's next thing on.
Speaker 2: All right here we go. But before we go, we
Speaker 2: got to go with a breaking news here at the
Speaker 2: Nation station seven hundred WLW ABC News reporting that an
Speaker 2: F fifteen E Strike Eagle fighter jet American fighter jet
Speaker 2: down in Iran and not much is known right now
Speaker 2: other than it's an active search in rescue operation, but
Speaker 2: Iranian media posting images of what appears to be a
Speaker 2: down fighter aircraft identified as an F fifteen E. No
Speaker 2: idea of the status and the truth of this or not,
Speaker 2: but again, that is a report that we are missing
Speaker 2: a Strike Eagle down inside the border of Iran. Will
Speaker 2: have the latest on that for you when it warrants
Speaker 2: here on seven hundred WW. But to less serious topics here,
Speaker 2: our buddy Austin Elmore from ESPN fifteen thirty is in
Speaker 2: to taco a Weekend Sports because that's what it's all about.
Speaker 2: We have, of course more March matus. We got the
Speaker 2: final four set. We are ready to rock and roll.
Speaker 2: But we begin with the news that Nick Lodolo is
Speaker 2: probably not going to pitch in his scheduled start against Miami.
Speaker 2: Got a rehab assignment, as you know, with the low
Speaker 2: aide dead Dayton Tortugas, the Turtles and it was gonna.
Speaker 2: I think it was a throw like I don't know,
Speaker 2: sixty to seventy pitches, but got the forty and guess what,
Speaker 2: mister blister is back.
Speaker 10: Yeah, blister returns on that left index finger for Nick Flodolo.
Speaker 10: It was the season opener for the Daytona Toritugas and
Speaker 10: as you mentioned, supposed to throw sixty five pitches, retired
Speaker 10: the first eight batters on forty look like himself, and
Speaker 10: the blister came back. We've learned a lot about this
Speaker 10: blister over the last couple of years because it's a
Speaker 10: recurring issue with Lodolo, and one of the things we
Speaker 10: know with blisters is that the heat can make it worse.
Speaker 10: So the Reds of course sent Nick Lodolo to Florida
Speaker 10: to rehab the blister.
Speaker 6: He would just jump over to Miami for start.
Speaker 10: I get it, and the weather in Louisville kind of
Speaker 10: got you know, Harry, and he didn't want to screw
Speaker 10: up the timing and I get it, but I think
Speaker 10: it's something. I don't know what else they can do.
Speaker 10: And I know that Nick has worked hard on this
Speaker 10: and he has a callous and like there are like
Speaker 10: it's not just everyone wants to call him soft, and
Speaker 10: everybody wants to call him a baby, and I've seen
Speaker 10: a lot of that on social media. A blister is painful.
Speaker 10: A blister on your pitching index finger is extremely painful.
Speaker 10: I think one of the issues he's going to have
Speaker 10: to figure out is the grip on his slider, because
Speaker 10: I think that's what causes it more than just about
Speaker 10: anything else, right, but his slider is what makes him
Speaker 10: a really, really nasty pitcher. You don't want to restart
Speaker 10: and completely rebuild a pitch in April, but I don't know.
Speaker 10: I mean, if you're not pitching, if you're not playing, you.
Speaker 2: Can't use this. It doesn't see him the way he throws,
Speaker 2: he's gonna be able to get with. Well, I just
Speaker 2: won't throw a slider. It's not like he has a
Speaker 2: ton of other pitches. That's that's what he's known for.
Speaker 2: So h yeah, And you know, I was mentioned a
Speaker 2: hockey thing earlier on the show, and it's like, I know,
Speaker 2: it's an uncare fair comparison. I stated that, but it's like, man,
Speaker 2: it's like it's the point of contact with your fai.
Speaker 2: That's the most important part of what he does is
Speaker 2: that fingertip and it just keeps getting rud ride. I
Speaker 2: don't know at this age and at the stage of
Speaker 2: his curreer, can you develop another pitch? And you're right
Speaker 2: with the season just started, you don't have time to
Speaker 2: do it. When are you going to do it?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 10: And it should have been something he was working on
Speaker 10: in the off season, knowing how his blisters and this
Speaker 10: is the third or fourth time in three or four
Speaker 10: years that we've had to deal with Nicolo Dolo blisters.
Speaker 10: They normally don't happen until later on in the season.
Speaker 10: So I don't know what the course of action is.
Speaker 10: I know Terry Francona talks in about two hours from now,
Speaker 10: a little bit less than that in Texas ahead of
Speaker 10: the game against the Rangers. He'll hopefully provide an update
Speaker 10: that gives some sort of timeline or understanding or what
Speaker 10: exactly it was. But frustrating for Nick, frustrating for the club,
Speaker 10: frustrating for the fans.
Speaker 2: Well, you got two year starters, right, Soladolo and Green
Speaker 2: Greens out for the foreseeable future with the bone chips.
Speaker 2: How long can they hold us together?
Speaker 10: It's a good question. I mean, I think as far
Speaker 10: as the bullpen is concerned. That's probably the unit you
Speaker 10: have the least faith in right now. Through the first
Speaker 10: six games, they just haven't looked at as much of
Speaker 10: a shutdown or dominant unit that we've seen in years past.
Speaker 10: And Brandon Williamson, I think the guy he was the
Speaker 10: other night is not the guy he's going to be
Speaker 10: moving forward. He hadn't pitched in the big leagues in
Speaker 10: two years. I'm willing to give him a little bit
Speaker 10: of grace. It's one start, yeah, and Chase Burns can yeah, exactly.
Speaker 10: So I think that as these pitchers, the starting rotation
Speaker 10: continue to build up towards the end of this month,
Speaker 10: that can go deeper into games. I think that will
Speaker 10: ease the load on the bullpen for sure, and I
Speaker 10: think they can make do for the time being. But
Speaker 10: I don't know what the timeline is for Lodolo, so
Speaker 10: I don't know if they can handle.
Speaker 6: It or not.
Speaker 2: Speaking of that bullpen, and Pegan was troubling the other night,
Speaker 2: but again it's once it was his first opportunity, so
Speaker 2: let's not let's not get too freaked out by this,
Speaker 2: but it was not good.
Speaker 10: No relief pitcher, no closing pitcher, in baseball over the
Speaker 10: last couple of years, has given up more home runs
Speaker 10: than Amelia Pagon.
Speaker 2: It is concerning.
Speaker 10: He's not a guy that you feel comfortable with a
Speaker 10: one or two run lead in the ninth inning. You
Speaker 10: just don't. You might remember he should have given up
Speaker 10: another home run. Last year, noelvi Marte saved him in
Speaker 10: that wall catch against the Pittsburgh Pirates and essentially saved
Speaker 10: the season. I wanted that guy to be Connor Phillips,
Speaker 10: to emerge as a potential c to take over for
Speaker 10: lemeli Opegan. And the last two times he's bits, he's walked,
Speaker 10: the first two batters he's face. So that's a shaky
Speaker 10: unit right now. Hopefully on the road they have an
Speaker 10: opportunity to get right. And maybe it's as simple as
Speaker 10: Emelio Pagan is a fly ball pitcher in a ballpark
Speaker 10: that doesn't help him, and maybe he should close on
Speaker 10: the road and not at home.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 2: We gotta figure it out, and you know it is
Speaker 2: is it repeating itself? Granted it's the first home series,
Speaker 2: is of the first road stand. We don't want to
Speaker 2: freak out in April and the Reds are sitting in
Speaker 2: fifth place or a fourth fifth place, right, But you
Speaker 2: look at that run differential, and all we heard about,
Speaker 2: all we saw in Arizona was them rekiing. I mean,
Speaker 2: everybody's hitting the ball, right. Silstewart continues to be impressive,
Speaker 2: but Ellie was hitting at Matt McClain. Everybody's getting into
Speaker 2: the action. Here we are in the first series of
Speaker 2: the week. Milwaukee is a run differential of twenty eight
Speaker 2: plus twenty eight, Saint Louis plus one, Pittsburgh plus three, Chicago,
Speaker 2: the Cobbies plus six, Red's minus nine.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't care about the run differential. I care
Speaker 10: about the number of runs you've scored. Milwaukee scored over forty.
Speaker 10: Chicago and the Cardinals and the Pirates are all at thirty,
Speaker 10: the Reds are at seventeen.
Speaker 6: That's the issue.
Speaker 10: And you know, got to remember that what happens in
Speaker 10: Arizona really doesn't matter for a number of reasons. Number One,
Speaker 10: the air is different out there, breaking balls don't move.
Speaker 10: You're facing minor league pictures for the most part, you'll
Speaker 10: piff facing guys that are working on stuff. There's not
Speaker 10: a bunch of advanced scouting and data on what you do,
Speaker 10: and don't do well, and the meetings that go into
Speaker 10: the matchups every single day. What's happening right now in
Speaker 10: Texas before the Reds and the Rangers play, is the
Speaker 10: Reds are having meetings with their pitchers and with their hitters.
Speaker 10: Here's what the pitchers do, Here's what the hitters do,
Speaker 10: Here's what they're good at, Here's what they're bad at.
Speaker 10: Here's how we plan to attack them. That doesn't happen
Speaker 10: in Arizona. And because the scouting and the data and
Speaker 10: the plan of attack is much different in the regular
Speaker 10: season on a day to day basis, you're going to
Speaker 10: see those results drop.
Speaker 6: That's why it does that. League wide, The issue.
Speaker 10: For the Reds remains what it has been for the
Speaker 10: last couple of years, which is that they are struggling
Speaker 10: to push runs across the plate. Now, the guys that
Speaker 10: they got to help with that have all really done
Speaker 10: their job. Sala Stewart's hit a couple of homers. Au
Speaker 10: Heneo swarz Is hit a couple of homers. Ellie Daily
Speaker 10: Cruise hit a couple of homers.
Speaker 2: TJ.
Speaker 10: Friedel stinks, Spencer Steer has stunk key. Brian Hayes is
Speaker 10: maybe the worst offensive player in baseball, no production out
Speaker 10: of the catching position whatsoever. There's just holes in the
Speaker 10: lineup right now.
Speaker 2: You know, you mentioned run differential doesn't matter, but I
Speaker 2: think i'll push back a little on that.
Speaker 6: It does.
Speaker 2: When your two year starting pitchers are down, you need
Speaker 2: more run production in order. You know, six six runs
Speaker 2: in two games against Pittsburgh's not getting done.
Speaker 10: That's my point is the runs. I don't care about
Speaker 10: the differential right now. I care about if they would
Speaker 10: have scored runs, if they would be a league average
Speaker 10: team right now, there wouldn't be an issue with the
Speaker 10: run differential.
Speaker 2: All right, Red's on the road again. Series will see
Speaker 2: what happens Home of the Red seven hundred. WW will
Speaker 2: have that for you tonight, and you know, your fingers
Speaker 2: crossed it. Hopefully they can get healthier, and this is
Speaker 2: just not the way you want to start to see it. Although, man,
Speaker 2: what they're three and three right now. It's way early,
Speaker 2: But we say that every that's the problem.
Speaker 6: How many times ago it's early.
Speaker 2: It's earlier, and then nigger, well should we be concerned
Speaker 2: in a month or two?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I think it's yeah, I think it's foolish.
Speaker 10: To make sweeping statements about people. At this point in
Speaker 10: the season, and especially looking at the rest of this month,
Speaker 10: there are teams and games and series that are winnable.
Speaker 10: The Minnesota Twins and the Colorado Rockies, two teams that
Speaker 10: are trying to lose baseball games, are on this schedule.
Speaker 10: The Angels, who are not what they used to be now.
Speaker 10: Texas and Miami have played well, but they've played those teams.
Speaker 10: I just mentioned Miami in Chicago, in the Colorado Rockies.
Speaker 10: So there's still a lot of room here for the
Speaker 10: Reds to be fine in the month of April.
Speaker 2: All right, So let's pivot. We have a free agency
Speaker 2: at the Bengals. Couple signings, a couple you know, depth moves,
Speaker 2: I think, but also Jonathan Allen two years, twenty six
Speaker 2: million dollars, good interior pass rush right there, forty five
Speaker 2: and a half career sacks, pro bowler, you know later's career.
Speaker 2: We talked about that, But let's talk about Dougger. Let's
Speaker 2: talk about j Just sir Taylor, just sir, who just sir?
Speaker 2: The best name in the best name of the team.
Speaker 10: Right now, I have to lead the league in men
Speaker 10: with the surname Jah with an apostrophe. Right, We've got
Speaker 10: Jae Mahr and just Sir, Just Sir. Taylor is a
Speaker 10: former draft pick that the Los Angeles char Chargers more
Speaker 10: of a special teams player, has had over twenty tackles
Speaker 10: on special teams. I think of him as the guy
Speaker 10: that can replace Tyson Anderson as you know, the dude
Speaker 10: that's running down there on special teams now. The reason
Speaker 10: he signed with the Bengals is because he was told
Speaker 10: he'll have a chance to compete for the nickel corner spot,
Speaker 10: and so he passed up guaranteed money to come to
Speaker 10: Cincinnati for a chance to play on defense. That I
Speaker 10: think is a good thing really, and so him and
Speaker 10: Jalen Davis are going to be battling it out at
Speaker 10: the nickel spot. I think the Bengals will address that
Speaker 10: position the draft as well as far as Kyle Dugger
Speaker 10: is concerned. Nice pick up a versatile player. He can
Speaker 10: play either safety position, he can come down and be
Speaker 10: a blitzer. He's actually taking a pretty decent amount of
Speaker 10: snaps at the line back position as well. So I
Speaker 10: think he gives you versatility and depth at multiple positions,
Speaker 10: and they need that you should always be trying to
Speaker 10: upgrade the bottom of the roster. Kyle Duggar, just a
Speaker 10: couple of years ago with New England was one of
Speaker 10: the better safeties in the league. They used a franchise
Speaker 10: tag on him at one point, so and has provided
Speaker 10: some big plays against the Bengals in recent years, most
Speaker 10: notably last year had to pick a six against Joe Flacco.
Speaker 10: So this is a dude that can help you. He's
Speaker 10: the perfect third safety on this team. It's a good move.
Speaker 10: It's not, you know, a move that takes them to
Speaker 10: the Super Bowl. But depth matters, and they didn't have
Speaker 10: depth at that position now they do.
Speaker 2: But you still have to hit it out with free agents.
Speaker 2: You still with the draft, you still have to. Yeah,
Speaker 2: without a doubt, there's something you haven't done on what
Speaker 2: and Ned has hit it out of the park.
Speaker 10: I don't know that this necessarily changes their plans for
Speaker 10: the draft. I mean, a couple of one year deals.
Speaker 10: Shouldn't You shouldn't be in that mindset. I still am
Speaker 10: operating under the belief that they are going to draft
Speaker 10: a corner in the first round. I think they'll try
Speaker 10: to draft an edge rusher in the second round or
Speaker 10: vice versa. Flip it, flop it. There's still a lot
Speaker 10: of holes that need to be filled on the defense.
Speaker 2: And yeah, all right, Final four Yukon, Illinois, Arizona, Michigan.
Speaker 8: Go.
Speaker 10: I'm rooting for Michigan. I guess I'm rooting for Arizona
Speaker 10: more than anybody else. I think Arizona, Yukon, Illinois, and
Speaker 10: then that's it. Yeah, pretty much. I don't really want
Speaker 10: Illinois or Michigan to win. I don't like Dan Hurley
Speaker 10: that much. I think he's a lunatic, and so I'll
Speaker 10: root for Arizona. First final four twenty five years pretty good, Yeah,
Speaker 10: I mean cool for them and anybody, but Michigan.
Speaker 6: How's that affecting your body?
Speaker 10: Unfortunately, though I will say this, I did pick Florida.
Speaker 10: I will think Michigan to win the national championship.
Speaker 2: Yea, they look pretty good, They're formidable. They're pretty forfidable
Speaker 2: right now. But I hope they lose by fifty. Although
Speaker 2: Yukon came back from what nineteen against du guy's pretty
Speaker 2: bad impresient.
Speaker 10: I mean, you want to talk about battle tested teams,
Speaker 10: Yukon is that. And they have a coaching staff that
Speaker 10: has been here a lot over the last couple of years,
Speaker 10: so I would give them an advantage for sure. But
Speaker 10: I also think the age and the experience of Illinois
Speaker 10: and just the refined game that those guys have, it's
Speaker 10: going to make us for some good matchups.
Speaker 6: But I still think Michigan's the best team, all right.
Speaker 2: Fair enough, I do want to We have FC Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: of course, still early to talk about. You know, they're
Speaker 2: still trying to figure it out in the ms OLSS
Speaker 2: is so long. Who do they have this weekend?
Speaker 6: Even though the New York Red Bulls the Red Bulls, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 6: all right, so that's.
Speaker 10: A game that's gonna happen. They're coming off the international
Speaker 10: where the men's national team got their face bashed in.
Speaker 10: I'll tell you what this we we are positioning ourselves
Speaker 10: as an American soccer organization right now to get embarrassed
Speaker 10: at the World Cup later we should. It's it's not
Speaker 10: Boston not going well. They're all over the country and
Speaker 10: we're not going to make it that far. We'll be
Speaker 10: lucky to make it to the round of sixteen. I
Speaker 10: don't think that's going to happen.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 2: We brought home gold three times for hockey in the Olympics, Paralympics,
Speaker 2: the women's and the men. So there you go. That's
Speaker 2: all I care. We we got pretty I'm pretty happy
Speaker 2: about that. Do you think you got issues? How about
Speaker 2: Tiger War? Does Tiger Woods have issues? Tiger Woods has issues.
Speaker 2: He's withdrawn now from the Masters because the sore wrists.
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods is one of my favorite athletes ever. It's incredible.
Speaker 2: I like love that dude, love watching him play. I
Speaker 2: tell people all the time, the twenty nineteen Master is
Speaker 2: my favorite sporting event that I've ever seen, like ever.
Speaker 2: It was the coolest thing ever. He needs help, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it does.
Speaker 10: And I'm glad that. You know, maybe he's this is
Speaker 10: the way getting it, maybe somewhere else and he can
Speaker 10: go away from me whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's yad because you know, we have
Speaker 2: tremendous and you know it used to be a joke,
Speaker 2: but it's, you know, serious. He's he's clearly he's dependent
Speaker 2: on painkillers because of all the surgeris he's had. It's
Speaker 2: no different than people get jammed up in everyday life.
Speaker 2: And he's an icon and you just you know, you
Speaker 2: saw that one. My god, it's it's the dash cam
Speaker 2: video and the bodycam video is terrible because he's falling
Speaker 2: asleep and he's clearly out of it. He's driving and
Speaker 2: he gets like in the middle of the arrest, he's
Speaker 2: talking to Trump and like it's the most bizarre footage
Speaker 2: of all roles is twenty five dollars zone. It's a
Speaker 2: it's a landscaping truck and flips it for the second
Speaker 2: time in a few years. The guy needs some serious help.
Speaker 10: The videos of him and in the back of the
Speaker 10: police car and just kind of he's got the hiccups
Speaker 10: and he's got this look on his face and this
Speaker 10: talle it just it's sad, Like there's no other way
Speaker 10: to put it. And I I retweeted something on my
Speaker 10: Twitter at audio More. It was written by Jordan Rodgers,
Speaker 10: who's a long time marketing executive for Nike and was
Speaker 10: a former drug addict and spent time in jail, and
Speaker 10: he wrote what I think has been the best piece
Speaker 10: of literature about Tiger Woods. And he calls it, you know,
Speaker 10: Tiger Woods, the savior nobody can save and talks about
Speaker 10: the loneliness that that Tiger is dealing with, and uh,
Speaker 10: it just sad. Man, I know it's easy to make
Speaker 10: fun of and that's what the internet does. Yeah, I
Speaker 10: get it, and and you know you make choices like that,
Speaker 10: you deserve to be made fun of.
Speaker 2: But I hope he just hope he's okay. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: had worried about him coming bag. Who cares about that
Speaker 2: dude at this point to tgl and that's fine to
Speaker 2: go in that senior to or whatever. But if Tiger's
Speaker 2: got fixed, Tiger, Yeah, it's no doubt about It's been
Speaker 2: too long. So Austin elm Or late today that doing
Speaker 2: at ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 10: With with Tony Pike. Were gonna have Charlie Goldsmith from
Speaker 10: Texas talking about the Reds and the Rangers, Tommy g
Speaker 10: on FC Cincinnati as well. Also a new episode of
Speaker 10: the Ball Don't Live podcast just dropped talking about the
Speaker 10: Bengals and what I think their plan is coming up
Speaker 10: in the draft.
Speaker 2: And fantastic Audie. Thanks again, have a great weekend. We've
Speaker 2: got news in Reds Baseball. Four oh five is the
Speaker 2: first pitch A three oh five inside pitch here on
Speaker 2: the Home of the Reds seven hundred WW.
Speaker 1: Do you want to be an American?
Speaker 6: It is a spring break time.
Speaker 2: You may have already enjoyed spring break, you're in the
Speaker 2: middle of it, or it's about to happen. But here's
Speaker 2: a question. So you're going to travel wherever that might be, uh,
Speaker 2: your data, You're protecting your luggage, You're protecting your stuff.
Speaker 2: You clutch it close to you to make sure no
Speaker 2: one snags your your luggage. Are you doing that with
Speaker 2: your devices? Your phone and your device or that matter
Speaker 2: knows everything about you. But guess what minute you walk
Speaker 2: in an airport, hotel, whatever it might be, a stranger
Speaker 2: may now will also know everything about you as well.
Speaker 6: Kim Key is here.
Speaker 2: She is PC Magazine's senior security writer or writer, and
Speaker 2: Kim welcome. How are you.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm doing fantastic.
Speaker 5: Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good to have you and I love the perkiness
Speaker 2: this morning. It's interesting. I remember years ago, I think
Speaker 2: it was a Sochi Olympics, whatever year that was. I
Speaker 2: was talking to a security expert and they said, yeah,
Speaker 2: the basically they give everyone a burner phone because you
Speaker 2: go to place like Russia, you turn the minute you
Speaker 2: walk into the airport, what minute you leave the plane
Speaker 2: and your phone goes on. You get to sell everything
Speaker 2: on that phone has already been taken. It's scared the
Speaker 2: hell out of me. And obviously that's happening here, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe not to that level, but it's pretty frightening.
Speaker 3: Well. The socio Olympics I believe, was in like two
Speaker 3: thousand and eight or so, and thankfully we have had
Speaker 3: a lot of sort of changes since then. One thing
Speaker 3: that has changed since thing that most of the Internet,
Speaker 3: most of your browser traffic is going to be encrypted
Speaker 3: by defaults, right, so you may not have the kind
Speaker 3: of risks that you might have had back then, thankfully,
Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean that you know it's risk free, right,
Speaker 3: because the risk have changed because the criminals are much
Speaker 3: more advanced as the technology has gotten more advanced. So
Speaker 3: my advice typically for people is to just assess.
Speaker 5: What you actually need to bring with.
Speaker 3: You when you're traveling, right, So you don't necessarily need
Speaker 3: to bring your phone and your tablet and the laptop,
Speaker 3: because you're just increasing your risk for leaving something, having
Speaker 3: it get stolen, losing it, that sort of thing. And
Speaker 3: these devices have your whole life on them in some cases.
Speaker 3: So I usually just suggest that people maybe leave one
Speaker 3: or two things at home this time instead of taking
Speaker 3: everything with you, And also make sure to log out
Speaker 3: of your account before you leave, because if your phone
Speaker 3: gets lost or stolen, somebody might be able to just
Speaker 3: hop in and get into all of your stuff.
Speaker 2: How does that work him with everything in the cloud though,
Speaker 2: because it sinks across devices, So if one device is compromised,
Speaker 2: aren't they are they on.
Speaker 3: Compromise sometimes That's why you should really have two factor
Speaker 3: authentication or pass keys protecting your accounts. That way, even
Speaker 3: if you're logged in across you still need to use
Speaker 3: a second form of authentication to verify that you are
Speaker 3: who you say you are and that you should be
Speaker 3: getting into that account. So you know, an easy way
Speaker 3: to do that is to manage all of that by
Speaker 3: using a password manager. You can download one for free,
Speaker 3: and you don't have to remember your passwords anymore. You
Speaker 3: don't have to keep track of your pass keys any more,
Speaker 3: and it's just it just makes life a lot easier
Speaker 3: that way, and it also makes you just inherently more
Speaker 3: secure because you're not using the same password for all
Speaker 3: of your accounts.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I'm an Apple user and Apple has passwords,
Speaker 2: but I also have dashline, and I've had that for
Speaker 2: years and I kind of like having a backup to
Speaker 2: the backup.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that is the perfect thing to do. Absolutely.
Speaker 3: I usually I tell people, you know, if you want
Speaker 3: to spread your passwords across multiple passwords managers, that's one
Speaker 3: way to make sure that even if somebody managed to
Speaker 3: somehow get into that account, they aren't going to be
Speaker 3: able to get to all the rest of the keys
Speaker 3: to your castle, so to speak.
Speaker 2: Right right, Kim Key is here with PC Meg and
Speaker 2: she's their senior security writer. Spring break week starting unofficially
Speaker 2: the summer travel seasons, is kind of like the test
Speaker 2: run for it. But you know, everyone's worried about TSA
Speaker 2: line should be worried as much about your digital security
Speaker 2: as well, because if you're not prepared, your information could
Speaker 2: be compromised in an airport. And I think the thing
Speaker 2: you log on airport Wi Fi, you're sitting there waiting
Speaker 2: for your flight for twenty five hours on a cold
Speaker 2: cement floor because the T and the TSA lines are
Speaker 2: eight years long, and you're sitting here look at it,
Speaker 2: so you're not thinking how secure is that connection? And
Speaker 2: like a public place like an airport and then we'll
Speaker 2: follow up that with hotels.
Speaker 3: Okay, So typically I would say that, like I was
Speaker 3: saying earlier, the browser traffic, which is what you're probably
Speaker 3: going to be using in that situation, you know, just
Speaker 3: browsing looking to figure out where your flight is. That
Speaker 3: sort of thing that is typically pretty secure. Now, we
Speaker 3: in the past, we've suggested that people, you know, connect
Speaker 3: to a VPN, but that comes with its own sort
Speaker 3: of issues because you have to decide, oh, am I
Speaker 3: going to actually trust this VPN service with my browsing
Speaker 3: traffic too?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: You don't know who's watching that because it's a you know,
Speaker 3: it's a privately owned company, who knows who could be
Speaker 3: seeing what you're looking at on your email and that
Speaker 3: sort of thing. So, you know, I typically tell people,
Speaker 3: you know, i'd keep to just using your browser, don't
Speaker 3: use a whole lot of apps. I wouldn't do any.
Speaker 5: Sort of banking or anything.
Speaker 3: That should be kind of sensitive and a on public
Speaker 3: Wi fi because you just you can't quite be sure
Speaker 3: what's going on there now.
Speaker 2: If you have to do some banking. So I'm like,
Speaker 2: can I just turn my WiFi off and you sell
Speaker 2: you or that's safe?
Speaker 3: Right, that's what I personally. I would do that if
Speaker 3: you absolutely had to. But I prefer to try and
Speaker 3: do that stuff away or at home or at work
Speaker 3: someplace where I know that I'm on a secure network,
Speaker 3: and I already know every everything that's on that network already, right,
Speaker 3: I have a good idea of it. I'm also a
Speaker 3: security person.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 7: Well, you know.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm sitting in the airport.
Speaker 2: I get a text of a of a I don't know,
Speaker 2: a citation or a toll that I paid from a
Speaker 2: state I didn't drive, and I got to pay that
Speaker 2: right now, Kim, or they're gonna they're gonna seize my assets.
Speaker 3: Don't do it. Don't do it, Scott. No, I saw
Speaker 3: one the other day.
Speaker 2: I got one the other day, Kim. You love this,
Speaker 2: and it's it's going around. It's a scam about a
Speaker 2: It's like a parking ticket, looks official. It has the
Speaker 2: state seal on it. It says from Columbus, while I
Speaker 2: live in Cincinnati. Also, they spelled at higher and the
Speaker 2: state of Ohio was spelled wrong, and it said in
Speaker 2: the court of Atlanta.
Speaker 6: So I'm thinking it probably was legit.
Speaker 2: I just wonder, but people got a fall for this
Speaker 2: stuff because well, you got to be careful they do.
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you that that's actually part of the
Speaker 3: scammer's sort of trick is they want they add in
Speaker 3: little things that are obviously wrong because they want the
Speaker 3: people who are not paying attention to be the ones
Speaker 3: who fall for the scan because then you know they
Speaker 3: will be able to take them for more money. They're
Speaker 3: essentially trying to weed out anybody who's going to, you know,
Speaker 3: ask questions or think critically. And that's why we tell people, hey,
Speaker 3: look very very closely at stuff, at the text messages
Speaker 3: that you get from people that you don't know, especially
Speaker 3: when you're traveling, especially when you're out of your routine.
Speaker 3: Just take take a look and make sure that this
Speaker 3: looks legit doesn't it or or it does. And also
Speaker 3: I would show that text to other people.
Speaker 5: Like, get another pair of eyes on it, right.
Speaker 3: Say okay, does this seem real to you? And most
Speaker 3: likely your friend or your colleague or your family member
Speaker 3: will go oh no, no, absolutely not, just deleted to
Speaker 3: move on.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The hard part is, of course, you know, most courts
Speaker 2: now are looking for you to pay them in iTunes
Speaker 2: gift cards. So I've paid a lot of fines in
Speaker 2: the Actually that's how I paid my mortgage in iTunes
Speaker 2: gift cards. Kim Key is here PC mag senior security
Speaker 2: writer on the show on seven hundred WLW talking about
Speaker 2: traveling in spring break underway and kids coursing on bringing
Speaker 2: their devices and they're not paying attention. And you may
Speaker 2: not be either and worried about TSA security and keep
Speaker 2: an eye in your bag, but you're not thinking about
Speaker 2: what happens when you sit at an airport or a
Speaker 2: hotel for that matter, and you're logged down. Now, what
Speaker 2: about what about hotel WiFi? Is that more risky or less?
Speaker 3: I think that hotel wi fi has similar risks to
Speaker 3: your airport WiFi and that you know it is public
Speaker 3: and so therefore you don't know who else is on it.
Speaker 3: But also if you're using your browser, your your traffic
Speaker 3: is encrypted, so you should be fine. But again, dude,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do anything that is particularly sensitive like banking,
Speaker 3: like checking you know, important emails or anything like that.
Speaker 3: Just it's better to be safe than sorry.
Speaker 2: I know, I know there's a lot of VPN clients
Speaker 2: out there. Virtual private network is what it is. Protowns
Speaker 2: is a good one. You know, I've tried to use
Speaker 2: it before, and there are times are you know, especially
Speaker 2: like streaming or something like that, and it'll say, well, no,
Speaker 2: you're in Alaska and you're not, like wait a minute,
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm still at Ohio. And so VPN basically
Speaker 2: tricks the other ip into thinking you're somewhere you're not.
Speaker 2: So it's a layer of security. But the problem is
Speaker 2: that some of the services you may be used to
Speaker 2: using there say well you're out of the country could
Speaker 2: because it explain I somebody does understand what VPN is,
Speaker 2: how it works, what it does, and why you need
Speaker 2: it when you should use it.
Speaker 3: Sure, a VPN is a virtual private network, as you said,
Speaker 3: and it basically creates a tunnel that your traffic goes
Speaker 3: through instead of going through you know, the regular sort
Speaker 3: of tunnels to get to you know, your device and
Speaker 3: to get to its destination. And a lot of times
Speaker 3: those tunnels, you know, being in a different country can
Speaker 3: kind of be a benefit. If you want to use
Speaker 3: a streaming service and you know you're on vacation perhaps
Speaker 3: and you really really wanted to log into your Netflix account,
Speaker 3: but Netflix in Paris is different than my Netflix in Atlanta, but.
Speaker 5: It doesn't have the same shows.
Speaker 3: So I could very just get on, you know, fire
Speaker 3: up my VPN and connect to a node in Atlanta
Speaker 3: and so then it's like I'm in Atlanta and I
Speaker 3: can just watch my shows. Right, So that's the benefit there.
Speaker 3: But it also, as you said, can be kind of
Speaker 3: a pain because it'll put you somewhere where you don't
Speaker 3: want to be. So that's why when you connect to
Speaker 3: the VPN, I suggest connecting to one that is close
Speaker 3: to you. It'll be faster and also it'll more it'll
Speaker 3: mirror where you are a little bit better, and the
Speaker 3: sort of thing conditions that you would have if you
Speaker 3: were just connecting regularly. But if you want to spoof
Speaker 3: your location, which is what it's called when you're pretending
Speaker 3: to be in a different place, a VPN is great
Speaker 3: for that. It makes it very easy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like digital money laundering, is what it does.
Speaker 2: It's just you're you're you're cleaningal and it comes from
Speaker 2: a different story. You know, I'm in Ohio, but it
Speaker 2: says I'm in Paris, as you said, and it tricks them.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, some stuff doesn't work the
Speaker 2: way you're used to it, and you're like, well, why
Speaker 2: can't I access this? It's because it thinks you're out
Speaker 2: of the country and it's a limited access area, so
Speaker 2: you know, and I guess you could switch it off,
Speaker 2: but it kind of defeats the purpose as well.
Speaker 11: I said this too.
Speaker 2: I want to ask you, Kim about the security thing.
Speaker 2: So kind of boring but important, but border Protection Customs, Oh,
Speaker 2: did I think like they searched almost fifty thousand devices
Speaker 2: last year.
Speaker 6: And so what are they looking? Do you know what
Speaker 6: they're looking for there? Who should?
Speaker 2: Because that concerns me, is like, I'm not doing anything wrong,
Speaker 2: and why is the government looking at my phone? Does
Speaker 2: the average traveler need to worry about that?
Speaker 3: Well, okay, I want to start with just I don't
Speaker 3: know if everyone needs to be you know, I don't
Speaker 3: want to I don't want to panic anyone, right because
Speaker 3: right now it is still a very small number of
Speaker 3: people who are being searched, right, but it is happening,
Speaker 3: and it's important to know that. You know, if you
Speaker 3: are somebody who is a public figure, if you are
Speaker 3: a politician or an activist or I mean any of that,
Speaker 3: or even if you're just somebody who might seem interesting,
Speaker 3: they can search your phone if they want to, So
Speaker 3: just be aware of that before you go to the airport,
Speaker 3: before you try to get back into the country. Just
Speaker 3: make sure of that. It's very unlikely that it's going
Speaker 3: to happen if you're an American citizen and you don't
Speaker 3: have a criminal record or anything like that. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: if you do, and if you're not an American citizens,
Speaker 3: and if you also are you know, part of that
Speaker 3: group that I mentioned earlier, a journalist, you know, there
Speaker 3: are lots of people who are in that group that
Speaker 3: might be searched. So if that's the case, I suggest
Speaker 3: just you know, taking a few precautions before you head
Speaker 3: to the airport. You know, log out of your accounts,
Speaker 3: back up your computer, you know, maybe clear your messages,
Speaker 3: that sort of thing. And you also can go into
Speaker 3: your settings menu on your phone, you know, if you
Speaker 3: have iOS or if you're using an Android, and lock.
Speaker 5: Down your device so that then agents can't get.
Speaker 3: In and look through all of your photos and videos
Speaker 3: and so on and so forth without you.
Speaker 5: Know, your express permission.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also I disable your biometric unlocks too, because
Speaker 3: they could just hold your phone up to your face
Speaker 3: or compel you to give your fingerprint as well. They
Speaker 3: are allowed to do that. All of this is, you know,
Speaker 3: it's all legal to do, so just feel aware of that.
Speaker 3: And you know, if your phone gets taken from you
Speaker 3: at the airport, you can demand a form. I believe
Speaker 3: it's Form SIXHO three to one D I think is
Speaker 3: the one.
Speaker 1: You know what I have.
Speaker 11: I have an article about it on Okay Okay, yeah,
Speaker 11: well it's a government it's not supposed to be memorable,
Speaker 11: but that's true though that I think most people will
Speaker 11: realize that customs can search your phone or electronic device
Speaker 11: at airports and at border crossings.
Speaker 2: They don't need a warrant or suspicion. They just can.
Speaker 2: And if you say no, you're not going to you're
Speaker 2: probably subject to more scrutiny. But also they can deny
Speaker 2: you access, so just keep that in mind.
Speaker 3: Well, well, I want to just say, if you are
Speaker 3: an American citizen, they cannot deny you back. They can't
Speaker 3: deny you access back into the country.
Speaker 6: Right, Okay, they can't take.
Speaker 3: Your phone, but they but they still have to let
Speaker 3: you back into the country. So just be aware of that.
Speaker 3: They'll they may make it more difficult for you, but
Speaker 3: you can still get back home.
Speaker 2: Anti virus software. Do you need antivirus soft on a phone?
Speaker 3: Personally, I do not use it, but I think that
Speaker 3: it wholly depends. I don't think that there's a one
Speaker 3: size fits all sort of solution for any thing regarding security.
Speaker 3: I think that it wholly depends on how you are
Speaker 3: using your devices and what you're using them for. If
Speaker 3: you are a person who is frequently going to you know,
Speaker 3: risky websites for whatever reason, when you have to do
Speaker 3: it for work, maybe that's just the kind of life
Speaker 3: you're living. Then Yeah, maybe you do need some extra
Speaker 3: protection on your phone like that, But.
Speaker 2: That's part of my job description tactically.
Speaker 3: Look, whatever anybody gets up to you in their time
Speaker 3: is that whatever there is no judgment here. There is
Speaker 3: no judgment here. It is only I'm only saying, hey,
Speaker 3: just protect yourself, make sure that you know what you're
Speaker 3: getting into, and also make sure that you are protecting
Speaker 3: your devices because if they get invected with something, then
Speaker 3: you might spread it to everything else on your network.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, you know on that Some business people I
Speaker 2: know just they literally travel with a burner phone for
Speaker 2: that reason.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Don't see anything. Honestly, I have started converting to using
Speaker 3: a dumb phone rather than a smartphone for a lot
Speaker 3: of things, and I take that with me when I
Speaker 3: travel most of the time because it's just honestly halfle free.
Speaker 3: I can still get into my email and stuff like that,
Speaker 3: but I don't have you know, a million apps on
Speaker 3: there and a bunch of notifications and things like that.
Speaker 3: And it's also less likely to be you know, packed,
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's also helpful.
Speaker 2: I think the other thing too is, you know, we're
Speaker 2: talking about spring break travel and we're worried about TSA
Speaker 2: and travel and wait times and gas prices, but no
Speaker 2: one thinks about security with their device because you're going
Speaker 2: to maybe foreign places or places out side the state,
Speaker 2: your informations, compromised public Wi Fi, all that going on.
Speaker 2: And I was thinking, as you're talking, Kim, is that
Speaker 2: you know, adults are on top of the stuff, but
Speaker 2: your kids break they don't care. They don't know where
Speaker 2: they're going on there, but they don't really have sensitive data.
Speaker 2: Should they worry more than parents who should worry most
Speaker 2: about them?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 5: Kids?
Speaker 3: One thousand percent have sensitive data. A lot of criminals
Speaker 3: are able to. That's why they hang out in you know,
Speaker 3: gaming chat rooms and stuff like that. Because your kids
Speaker 3: are related to you.
Speaker 5: You are the sensitive data that your kids.
Speaker 3: Are sort of the door too.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: So you know if your kids has your credit card
Speaker 3: numbers stored on their phone so that they can buy games, well,
Speaker 3: guess what happens when their phone gets cloned by a
Speaker 3: hacker at some point. Now, everybody knows your credit card number,
Speaker 3: everybody knows everybody who is in their contact list. They
Speaker 3: have all of their phone numbers, they have all of
Speaker 3: their photos, right, Yeah, So it's important to talk to
Speaker 3: your kids. And by talking to your kids, I mean
Speaker 3: like talking with your kids, not just being like, hey,
Speaker 3: you need to do this because, right, but talking to yeah,
Speaker 3: talking to them about hey, this is the reason why
Speaker 3: you would want to use a password manager. Here's the
Speaker 3: reason why you would want to not give out our
Speaker 3: home address to rate the people online.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Just some basic cybersecurity lessons for kids I think is
Speaker 3: super important, and they don't really get that at school
Speaker 3: right now. A lot of kids still up in public school,
Speaker 3: so that's falls on parents to do that work, which
Speaker 3: is unfortunately not super easy to do because we didn't
Speaker 3: get those guise of lessons.
Speaker 6: Well, it's important that you have.
Speaker 2: It's important you have the talk with your kids, kimus
Speaker 2: so because the virus is out there and they can
Speaker 2: make you really, really sick. Kim Ke is the senior

Speaker 13: Complete your Do you know how much your glucose levels
Speaker 13: would spike after eating one of those?
Speaker 6: That doesn't matter And the other.
Speaker 13: One that I came across, which I kind of was like,
Speaker 13: I would give this a go. Shout out to the
Speaker 13: quarter beastro over in Mirrymont. They posted a short rib
Speaker 13: martini and I'm like, I will, Oh my god, I
Speaker 13: would give it a go quote unquote featuring Gray Goose
Speaker 13: vodka shaken with her short ribs you and finished with
Speaker 13: a short rib cube and a mushroom.

Speaker 2: I would try a meat meat in vodka short martini.
Speaker 6: That would not be good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm telling you it's no, No, would not be
Speaker 2: wouldn't be good. A little you used to be April Foolsky.
Speaker 2: I'm glad see people are leaning more to the April,
Speaker 2: but our social media April fools.
Speaker 6: Gig, it's not real, April Fool. You have to carry
Speaker 6: execute a plan.
Speaker 12: I had to read the comments because I'm like, is
Speaker 12: this real? You don't know these days.
Speaker 13: It's funny because we have the craziest food ideas out there,
Speaker 13: which then leads me to yes, we'll get into some
Speaker 13: Easter brunch stuff and whatnot. But if you haven't poked
Speaker 13: your Easter brunch, don't know what to tell you. Milkshakes.
Speaker 13: I have been in this milkshake ice cream mood. Maybe
Speaker 13: it's because the weather has been warmer, and also sometimes
Speaker 13: you just need one.
Speaker 12: Of those crazy, crazy, crazy milkshakes. And Terries.
Speaker 13: I gotta talk about this Terries Grocery and pizzeria. And
Speaker 13: it's really a gas station out in Lynchburg, Ohio, kind
Speaker 13: of in you know, it's out there.
Speaker 2: It's about an hour time in this place.
Speaker 5: Yo.
Speaker 12: Let me tell you. Social media is the number one Sanjay.
Speaker 13: Tipped me off. Okay, nice and healthy, you know, talk
Speaker 13: you about wellness. But it's about an hour east of downtown,
Speaker 13: not an hour twenty miss. And it's also top of
Speaker 13: mine because it's a great spot to.
Speaker 12: Ride out to. So if you got a motorcycle, take
Speaker 12: your bike ride on out there, so.
Speaker 13: Really you're gonna be coming across buggies, horse trun carriages,
Speaker 13: so buggies and bikes, And like I said, it's a
Speaker 13: gas station. On the back side of the gas station
Speaker 13: there's a walk up window and you can order these
Speaker 13: most elaborate milkshakes. It's basically like you know how Bloody
Speaker 13: Mary has, yeah, oh my god, overflow, and they do
Speaker 13: all of these different themes. So, for example, they just
Speaker 13: released one called the Crazy Lemon. It's a lemon ice cream.
Speaker 13: It's like rimmed with whipped cream and then yellow sprinkles
Speaker 13: and it's topped with a legit lemon. They put like
Speaker 13: lemon pound cake and lemon oreos and then those lemonhead candies.
Speaker 13: And then they did one for Valentine's Day where it's
Speaker 13: strawberry chocolate ice cream rim with sprinkles and they put
Speaker 13: an entire cookie on top one of those heart shaped
Speaker 13: you know, those like hollow ding dong cakes.
Speaker 12: They put that in there.
Speaker 13: They put actual chocolate covered strawberries, more whipped cream, more
Speaker 13: piped heart flower designs.
Speaker 12: So it's one. It's one for the gram and you
Speaker 12: should probably bring a friend.
Speaker 6: With you because you can't eat that much sugar.
Speaker 12: I'm willing to take on the challenge and every.
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, lemon pound cake, pound cake and Alcabe.
Speaker 6: Awesome.
Speaker 12: He's actually sponsoring Terry's groceriy Pizza Rea.
Speaker 8: I love that.
Speaker 2: That's yeah, and it's such it's probably it's like Lynchberg,
Speaker 2: like how many people live there?
Speaker 12: And like I said, it's horse drawn carriage.
Speaker 6: It's amazing that they would have that great.
Speaker 13: It's such an I I did some deep dive researching
Speaker 13: on you know, in Reddin and Facebook group chats, so
Speaker 13: many people were rolling up with this and they're constantly
Speaker 13: coming out with new flavors. They also do like cotton candy.
Speaker 13: You know, there's a Loni energy drinks. I'm not a
Speaker 13: big but they're doing floats. They did crazy pumpkin ones
Speaker 13: in the fall where they're literally put entire slices of pumpkin.
Speaker 12: Pie on top on the milk shake. So now I
Speaker 12: don't know what it is. I am on this milkshake hunt.
Speaker 2: Some milkshake sounds good. Milkshakes hit every I haven't had
Speaker 2: one a long time, but bye, they.
Speaker 6: Do thank you hit.
Speaker 12: So then I'm like, where are all the other elaborate
Speaker 12: milkshakes in this research.
Speaker 2: Need that milkshake be known for something, right, It's like
Speaker 2: a milksh like that is desperate and.
Speaker 12: It's kid friendly, family friendly, Graham Graham Worthy do it
Speaker 12: for well.
Speaker 2: It's also you said it's a pizza ria too. How's
Speaker 2: the pie that's the other actually really cool, solid all right.
Speaker 13: And again it's in the middle of nowhere, like when
Speaker 13: you're when you when you think you've reached nowhere, go another,
Speaker 13: keep going it.
Speaker 2: You reach, all right, shout out to if you're in Lynchburg,
Speaker 2: there you go, all right, I love it.
Speaker 12: There's another spot in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
Speaker 13: It's called four four Speed on fifties Dine, So it's
Speaker 13: just your classic diner classic they go. They call it
Speaker 13: classic food, Classic car Burgers. A really cool spot. But
Speaker 13: they also do something similar where they have a Marilyn
Speaker 13: Monroe milkshake. It's a strawberry milkshake and a jar and
Speaker 13: whipped cream sprinkles, actual strawberry. They do half a strawberry
Speaker 13: pop tart and then you know those strawberry shortcake ice
Speaker 13: cream like pop things that are on a stick. The classics,
Speaker 13: you know what I'm talking about, the classic strawberries they
Speaker 13: put that on top.
Speaker 12: Of it, really because the milkshake itself.
Speaker 8: Is not enough.
Speaker 6: Marilyn Monroe milk.
Speaker 12: Marilyn Monroe, that's what they call it. And then they
Speaker 12: have a Crossley eat all that.
Speaker 6: They find you dead in your bed naked.
Speaker 12: Honestly, put a little booze in there.
Speaker 13: You're definitely guaranteed to be sweet under no time or
Speaker 13: your heart you're gonna have a heart attack. But I'm
Speaker 13: here for all of this. And then a special shout
Speaker 13: out to you DF because sometimes their milkshakes just.

Speaker 2: had a it was like a McDonald's mint martini like that, Yeah.
Speaker 12: Yours, and it's either peanut butter and chocolate or mint
Speaker 12: and chocolate at the same time. But I got to
Speaker 12: pick and choose.
Speaker 13: That's how whenever U df min chocolate chip, and then
Speaker 13: you can choose your base. Do you want regular like
Speaker 13: white milk or do you want chocolate milk in it?
Speaker 13: And then you can blend whatever you want in it
