Speaker 1: Well, the cold is here. We've had the snow, people
Speaker 1: still apparently not knowing how to drive in it. Stores
Speaker 1: of something like eight different people. And this is not
Speaker 1: funny over these last couple of days, as we've had
Speaker 1: some snow ended up plowing into some snow plows in
Speaker 1: and around Ohio. At least according to Odd extra time
Speaker 1: when the snow comes and we may see more sooner
Speaker 1: than later, the al Nina in what we're dealing with
Speaker 1: in some frigid cold. I guess it's time. The Christmas
Speaker 1: season is upon us. How you doing? It's Sterling stepping
Speaker 1: in normally. Dan Carol will be here about this time
Speaker 1: and I'm back in my normal time Friday Saturday afternoon
Speaker 1: as well. My name is Sterling. Mister Joe Waddell producing
Speaker 1: updated news. About twenty one minutes from now. Was Sean
Speaker 1: Gallagher up in on what's going on? Terry Nelson going
Speaker 1: to join us busy guy getting ready for Crosstown shootout.
Speaker 1: You just heard him Coach Wes Miller and Dan Horde
Speaker 1: and the coach a show talking about bearcats, musketeers, the history,
Speaker 1: the energy, the angst, the excitement, everything that goes into it.
Speaker 1: And they've been getting it on for a long long time,
Speaker 1: and we'll pick his brain coming up and after the
Speaker 1: nine thirty report, that's Terry Nelson gonna join me. Dave
Speaker 1: had Or, cybersecurity expert from seven hundred wlub, you gonna
Speaker 1: join us also after ten o'clock talk about AI privacy,
Speaker 1: new gear, gadgets, security and all the stuff that goes
Speaker 1: with that, and how all this new technology can help
Speaker 1: make our lives simpler. It's not just maybe about scaring
Speaker 1: us or getting into our business or everything else. And
Speaker 1: to speaking of the holidays, Godadal dot Com, Dev Shapiro
Speaker 1: have him unusually this time of year. Well, the bells
Speaker 1: are ringing, so we'll get to Dev after eleven o'clock
Speaker 1: talking about where the deals are the best deals now
Speaker 1: that we are in I guess cyber Week, which used
Speaker 1: to be a cyber Monday, which came after the Black Friday,
Speaker 1: And if you are of a certain age you can
Speaker 1: remember it used to be people would be eagerly getting
Speaker 1: the Sunday Inquirer and every other publication they can, looking
Speaker 1: for leaked ads and everything else to be able to
Speaker 1: figure out exactly where the best opportunity was to save
Speaker 1: money and get whatever it is that you want for
Speaker 1: you and yours over the holidays. Times have changed, But
Speaker 1: Dev Shapiro is all over like a two ton heavy thing.
Speaker 1: So we'll pick his brain about that soon enough. I
Speaker 1: want to give you a chance to sound off. I
Speaker 1: find that this new story that there's a lot of
Speaker 1: ways to look at this. My entire life has been
Speaker 1: an engagement of war in this country on drugs. The
Speaker 1: war on drugs. In fact, if you're a kid of
Speaker 1: the eighties coming up depending and subsequently, you remember those
Speaker 1: ads where they'd say, this is your brain, this is
Speaker 1: your brain on drugs, and then they crack an egg
Speaker 1: into a hot skillet and you see it sizzle up,
Speaker 1: and they go, oh, my god, that's gonna happen to
Speaker 1: what's inside my head if I get on dope. Don't
Speaker 1: smoke the dope, bluie. But you know, the things or
Speaker 1: not as they once were, and so on. So this
Speaker 1: war on drugs is continued. We're in a period of
Speaker 1: time we've dealt with the opioid crisis. There's ventanyl issues
Speaker 1: and all sorts of problems that people have to sort
Speaker 1: of navigate. People still digging out of what was the
Speaker 1: oxy codone problem and everything else after litigation and thousands
Speaker 1: and thousands and thousands of people dying. Now we are
Speaker 1: blowing boats out of the water in the Caribbean and
Speaker 1: elsewhere that are allegedly filled with cocaine or fentanyl or
Speaker 1: whatever else that apparently is destined for our shores and
Speaker 1: our communities, because, let's be honest, Americans like to get high,
Speaker 1: Americans like to get drunk. They like to get effed
Speaker 1: up in a whole lot of different ways. And maybe
Speaker 1: we ought to start working on that hunger that need
Speaker 1: to somehow, you know, the sab to fix that itch
Speaker 1: that scratch for numbing ourselves and maybe possibly also whatever
Speaker 1: psychological problem going on with it where we want to
Speaker 1: self medicate. That being set, I have a question over
Speaker 1: the last couple of days with higher ups at the
Speaker 1: Pentagon in private meetings showing videos to lawmakers, there is
Speaker 1: apparently a split. Some lawmakers are saying, hey, blowing those
Speaker 1: boats out of the water, taking another shot with more
Speaker 1: of our very expensive, high tech and very precise weapons
Speaker 1: to finish off the job of one of those boats.
Speaker 1: As this whole engagement started, and so he was, oh,
Speaker 1: it's a war crime. Well, I don't even though they've
Speaker 1: called it the War on drugs. There is no official
Speaker 1: like declaration of war that I know of, and I
Speaker 1: would imagine that anyone who's looking for a pleasure boat cruise,
Speaker 1: or if you're in anywhere in those areas looking to
Speaker 1: go fishing or scuba diving, you might want to think
Speaker 1: twice and look up in the and see exactly where
Speaker 1: US forces are. But my question is this, President Trump
Speaker 1: says he's fine with releasing the video for all of
Speaker 1: us to see to make up our own minds. Here's
Speaker 1: what I wonder, though, because you see what we have
Speaker 1: seen in the report has been that there was apparently
Speaker 1: two survivors on that boat, or at least off the boat,
Speaker 1: that were in the water trying to somehow hold on
Speaker 1: to the wreckage at sea, whether to get on and
Speaker 1: call for help or get on and say, hey, save
Speaker 1: the dope. We don't want the you know, drug lords
Speaker 1: to come after our families or whatever else. I don't
Speaker 1: know about the idea of war crime, and I don't
Speaker 1: think that the family members of those people who lost
Speaker 1: their lives are worried about war crimes, are trying to
Speaker 1: figure out what happened to their people. But what I
Speaker 1: want to know is this, do you want to see
Speaker 1: the video one more clearly without edits and without fuzzing
Speaker 1: over and blocking out the carnage that took place at
Speaker 1: the hand of our military looking to make us safe
Speaker 1: in the order so that they were following.
Speaker 2: Two.
Speaker 1: Do you have a problem because I've heard so many discussions.
Speaker 1: I just had an odd discussion in the cold walking
Speaker 1: my dog with the neighbor. This was yesterday afternoon before
Speaker 1: he came in for the Christmas party, and he's telling me.
Speaker 1: He says, he thinks it's absolutely horrible and everything and
Speaker 1: it's inexcusable and everything is that, Well, we don't know
Speaker 1: what we don't know, And overall I'm just wondering. Look around,
Speaker 1: you know the history of this country. You see the
Speaker 1: issue of drug added people. Maybe there are drugs on
Speaker 1: these boats that have been blown up. I would think
Speaker 1: if you're in the business of transporting drugs, you might
Speaker 1: want to reevaluate. If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app
Speaker 1: someplace in that part of the world, if you hadn't
Speaker 1: already figured out that it's not a good idea, well
Speaker 1: now you probably know. Do you have a problem with
Speaker 1: us blowing these boats out of the water. Should they?
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know who they're going to communicate
Speaker 1: with that they've identified party A, Party B. However, many
Speaker 1: on those boats with said drugs to somehow warm them.
Speaker 1: But if it's not our waters, if it's not our shores.
Speaker 1: We've talked about taking the fight to terrorists elsewhere. Is
Speaker 1: this a terrorist endeavor? Do we trust that these people
Speaker 1: are in fact, you know, drug dealers or traffickers for
Speaker 1: one of a better way to describe it. More trafficker,
Speaker 1: I guess than dealer. Dealer may be selling it, transporting
Speaker 1: it would be the trafficker in some fashion, right, And
Speaker 1: then whoever hear stateside distributes and so on five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven,
Speaker 1: eight hundred, the big one, pick up the phone, give
Speaker 1: it the finger. You can talk back the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: I have to say, if it's a legit threat, that's fine,
Speaker 1: but you've got to go after also. And this is
Speaker 1: where there's some hypocrisy. It's all about the war on drugs,
Speaker 1: and they say we're under siege, but they have cut
Speaker 1: programs to help those that are drug addled or the addicted.
Speaker 1: They've closed some of these facilities already that were government
Speaker 1: tax dollars that were going in to try to keep
Speaker 1: these people going in a healthy, more positive direction. There's
Speaker 1: no question that something needs to be done about the
Speaker 1: hunger for the high I don't know what else to
Speaker 1: say about it in that regard, but that comes from
Speaker 1: schooling and from the home and whatever else it is
Speaker 1: to give people, you know, an understanding of just say no,
Speaker 1: which a lot of people thought was a joke, but
Speaker 1: it worked for some. But desperation and sadness and mental
Speaker 1: health issues and not getting care that they need, and
Speaker 1: you know, we like to drink, a lot of people
Speaker 1: like to numb themselves in a whole lot of different ways.
Speaker 1: And until that hunger in that market where people are
Speaker 1: willing to cough up cash money for said drugs and stuff,
Speaker 1: people are going to supply it, regardless whether it's farmaceutical
Speaker 1: companies domestically or elsewhere bringing it here legally and then
Speaker 1: having it used and abused in some fashion, or whether
Speaker 1: it's drug dealers and manufacturers who couldn't care less that
Speaker 1: it's just a commodity, no different than oranges or coffee
Speaker 1: or oil. It just happens to be that substance that
Speaker 1: you know people are looking forward to alter themselves. I
Speaker 1: want to know what you think, guys. I mean, I say,
Speaker 1: if you can handle your drugs responsibly, do your drugs.
Speaker 1: Not A lot of people are able to necessarily handle
Speaker 1: their drugs for too long in a way that doesn't
Speaker 1: cause harm to others and those around them. But I'm
Speaker 1: in the mindset simply of freedom of choice and liberty
Speaker 1: and doing what you want until you start acting out
Speaker 1: and hurting others around you, regardless of it being a
Speaker 1: smart choice or not. It should be up to you
Speaker 1: and me and the people around us to do that.
Speaker 1: And as far as you know, blowing up the people
Speaker 1: that are tracked picking these drugs, it probably in some
Speaker 1: ways looks better if they're here or closer to our
Speaker 1: shores inbound, rather than closer to the shores they're leaving.
Speaker 1: Because the question that everyone has who has doubts about it,
Speaker 1: as are these really drug vessels? And imagine if someone
Speaker 1: was blowing Americans out of the water headed towards somewhere
Speaker 1: in the Bahamas or somewhere down further Central South America
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, and they were doing it close
Speaker 1: to our waters in the international waters, but it's still
Speaker 1: just the same. My guess is that a lot of
Speaker 1: us would have a different view as to the aggressive
Speaker 1: nature of these operations, even though we want to stop
Speaker 1: the flow of the abuse of drugs and the harm
Speaker 1: that it causes. Am I crazy? Am I insane? Am
Speaker 1: I making sense? I want to know what you think
Speaker 1: because we don't all know everything that maybe some of
Speaker 1: us would like to know about this, and that leads
Speaker 1: me to agreeing with President Trump. Put the video out
Speaker 1: for all of us to see, and then go from there.
Speaker 1: Five point three seven four nine, seven thousand, eight hundred
Speaker 1: The Big One, Your chance to get interactive quick break
Speaker 1: come back later on dev Shapiro godadeal dot com about
Speaker 1: saving some cash holiday shopping still yet to be done.
Speaker 1: Dave Hatter Cyborg Security about privacy, new gear, gadgets and productivity.
Speaker 1: And Terry Nelson basketball Bearcat Gonna join us tak Crosstown
Speaker 1: shootout Musketeers Bearcats tomorrow night at Sentas on the campus
Speaker 1: of Xavier. And you'll hear it right here on seven
Speaker 1: hundred WLW join us in first morning forecast on the
Speaker 1: Big One. It's cold, feels like winter because it is, uh, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know it's actually it's not officially winter yet,
Speaker 1: I don't believe, but it's coming, you know, and the
Speaker 1: sooner than later, the days we'll start getting longer. In
Speaker 1: the meantime, more frigid, a serious so called polar vortex.
Speaker 1: Cold is coming down to twenty tonight, thirty three Tomorrow,
Speaker 1: mid thirties on Saturday, close to forty on Sunday. Bengals
Speaker 1: are on the road, so most of us be inside
Speaker 1: watching the who day. It's twenty five right now, your
Speaker 1: severe weather station seven hundred w WELW Sterling hanging out.
Speaker 1: Glad you're here. Fine. Thursday night back Tomorrow night, Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 1: My normal spots, Dan Carroll, it was on earlier. So
Speaker 1: that's why I'm doing this asking you about these drug
Speaker 1: boats that getting blown up by our US military. People
Speaker 1: are very upset, some of them wanting to I don't
Speaker 1: know if they want documentation. They want to see pictures
Speaker 1: of the cocaine or the fentanyl or whatever else. More
Speaker 1: clearly reports now in the Pacific and other four people killed.
Speaker 1: It's come out with more video in the Eastern Pacific
Speaker 1: intelligence confirming that this vessel's carrying illicit narcotics. Turns transiting
Speaker 1: along known NARCO trafficking route in the Eastern Pacific five
Speaker 1: three seven, four nine eight hundred The big one. I mean,
Speaker 1: people like, well, they were climbing on the boat, or
Speaker 1: you know, this first attack on the boat, and people
Speaker 1: are very upset saying, well, what were they gonna do?
Speaker 1: All I know is if I had been on that boat,
Speaker 1: I would I you're at sea, if you ever been
Speaker 1: out at sea, even on the Great Lakes, if you're
Speaker 1: far enough away and something bad happens, whether it's hell
Speaker 1: fire from a missile brought from the US or a
Speaker 1: bad storm, my guess is if you are trying to survive,
Speaker 1: you might try to cling onto that boat. Neighbor was
Speaker 1: telling me he thought it was egregious, that it was
Speaker 1: horrible that they shouldn't have gone after him. They've since
Speaker 1: said in their private hearing and questioning that there was
Speaker 1: no so called kill order. But I mean, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna blow stuff up and try to get the enemy someplace,
Speaker 1: I would think you want to finish the job. The
Speaker 1: question is is this the right job and the right
Speaker 1: way to go about it? I suppose where do you
Speaker 1: fall on this five three seven, four nine eight hundred
Speaker 1: the Big One first, David read up. After that, we'll
Speaker 1: try to get Richard and Dayton as well before the
Speaker 1: nine thirty report, and then Terry Nelson joins us talking
Speaker 1: a Crosstown shootout on the Big One tomorrow night at Sintas,
Speaker 1: Cats and Musketeers getting it on. David, appreciate the holding
Speaker 1: man what you have.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's disheartening, disappointing to see Trump going down this
Speaker 3: path after he ran so fervently in twenty fifteen twenty
Speaker 3: sixteen against the lies of Iraqi WMDs that Bush pushes
Speaker 3: down because it's basically the same thing. This is Trump
Speaker 3: dep stuff that it's not really real.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: The narcotics cartel that.
Speaker 3: They claim in Venezuela doesn't exist.
Speaker 5: It's not real.
Speaker 3: And any kind of narcotics that Venezuela is moving, if
Speaker 3: not coming to the United States, they're kind of known
Speaker 3: to maybe move as a transit point to move narcotics
Speaker 3: to Europe. And there's no you know, Venezuelan coastline in
Speaker 3: the eastern Pacific. You know, that's that's Colombia, all right.
Speaker 5: We know where this stuff's coming from.
Speaker 3: It's coming from Colombia through Central America and Mexico.
Speaker 4: And so Trump is doing the Gulf.
Speaker 3: Of Tonkin just like happened in Vietnam. He's doing Iraqi, WMD's,
Speaker 3: He's doing everything that he ran against.
Speaker 5: And so it's.
Speaker 3: Heartbreaking to see it because he's got Marco Rubio in
Speaker 3: as his sex k of State and he's part of the.
Speaker 2: You know, the Cuban.
Speaker 3: Community there in Miami, and they have an agenda right.
Speaker 5: Which is against and I love it.
Speaker 3: I look forward to nothing about, you know, killing socialists
Speaker 3: and communists and armed conflict. But we got to do
Speaker 3: it the right way, and lying and being fake and
Speaker 3: phony like the bushes is not the right way and
Speaker 3: it's a disgrace to America.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, David, thank you. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: a lot to wagh through there, and we're against the
Speaker 1: long time read Richard others. My my management time was poor.
Speaker 1: Good thing. This is not like a football game. We're
Speaker 1: trying to win before the bell in the final whistle,
Speaker 1: nine third reports straight away. We'll try to get you
Speaker 1: guys on the other side sooner than later. Also, we
Speaker 1: got to Terry Nelson talking basketball Crosstown Shootout Musketeers and
Speaker 1: those basketball Bearcats at Sentas this time looking to get
Speaker 1: it on Tomorrow night after the news, we'll talk to Terry.
Speaker 1: Seven hundred WLW. Glad you're a long fine Thursday night, Sterling,
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW. Tomorrow night, seven thirty Centas Center, It's
Speaker 1: happening again. The ninety third time University Cincinnati basketball Bearcats
Speaker 1: Xavier Musketeers. Right here, seven hundred WLW, A former Bearcat
Speaker 1: on the hardwood, a Final four basketball Bearcat does TV stuff.
Speaker 1: You're hear him with Dan Horde. Heard him earlier with
Speaker 1: Dan and of course Wes Miller and that coaches show.
Speaker 5: We own.
Speaker 1: Seven hundred WLW. Terry, welcome back. I appreciate you making time.
Speaker 1: I know you're sort of like doing two things on
Speaker 1: the same evening, and I appreciate it.
Speaker 5: Sterling, I was just finishing my belt kool aid, you know,
Speaker 5: I had to have that red.
Speaker 1: Why that's all right. I'm easier to deal with after
Speaker 1: a couple I've been told, so it's all.
Speaker 5: Right, Montgomery and is really good. Thank you, Tom Gregory.
Speaker 1: Absolutely I am. Now I'm salivating thinking about like some
Speaker 1: chicken and chips and maybe a half slab, but that's fine.
Speaker 1: I'm here in a room with a window, always blackened scallops.
Speaker 5: Blackened scallops over over some caesar salad and a sweet potato.
Speaker 1: See that's healthy, that's good, that's balance. You got all those. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, And I have one more question because we
Speaker 1: just got finished before we get to like game stuff,
Speaker 1: because you mentioned it about the sweet potato. I just
Speaker 1: had this argument sweet potato pie or pumpkin pie when
Speaker 1: you think about Thanksgiving.
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm not one that always has to have an
Speaker 5: either or. If you put both of them out there,
Speaker 5: they're both going to be eaten.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm with you. I'm in the same boat
Speaker 1: because that's the answer I have. Give me both, and
Speaker 1: I'm fine. Just give me a spoon and.
Speaker 5: A coupe and people will ostracize you. They look at
Speaker 5: you like you're crazy, what fucking bot?
Speaker 1: That's true, that's true.
Speaker 5: Give me long as you get merkle up or whipped cream,
Speaker 5: whatever it is. He'spraaying on top. I'm good.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, you said that about ostracizing. It his flashback to
Speaker 1: being a tiny sterling. So I remember that, told you.
Speaker 1: All right, So let's I want to start here because
Speaker 1: and we talked about a little bit. I guess it
Speaker 1: was last year leading up to this game. The game
Speaker 1: has changed the business of the game. Whether it's my
Speaker 1: neighbor's teenagers who were keeping track of this stuff way
Speaker 1: way closer than I remember doing at their age because
Speaker 1: they're middle schoolers and so forth. As far as guys
Speaker 1: being transient and moving around, not here for a full
Speaker 1: four necessarily, how does that change the passion the understanding
Speaker 1: of such a rivalry. When we're talking about the ninety
Speaker 1: third meeting of Bearcats and Musketeers.
Speaker 5: They don't know, the coast doesn't know. You know, you
Speaker 5: got two. Coach West is the fifty years he kind
Speaker 5: of knows now. He had no idea coming into it.
Speaker 5: Richard Patino, there's much film as he looks at he'll
Speaker 5: look at the intensity, he'll look at some of the
Speaker 5: stuff that Sean Miller did. He'll look at different scenarios.
Speaker 5: But you don't You never know until you walk into
Speaker 5: that environment. It's just a different environment. I don't care
Speaker 5: what the records are. You throw the records out, throw
Speaker 5: the rankings out, None of that ever matters. It's always
Speaker 5: about that time in that particular place and who shows
Speaker 5: up that day. Because sometimes the team with the with
Speaker 5: the with the best records doesn't play the best. They
Speaker 5: come into the game. Sometimes they're low cocky. Sometimes they'll
Speaker 5: be like, you know, we got this. We can a
Speaker 5: due what we've always done and get the same results.
Speaker 5: But then there's the underdog, whoever that is in the series.
Speaker 5: It's like, no, we're gonna, you know, be extra careful
Speaker 5: in our box offs, We're gonna make sharp passes. We're
Speaker 5: gonna you know, we may go down, but we're gonna
Speaker 5: fight back. Like, there's different factors that go into the
Speaker 5: Crosstown shootout. And as much as coaches like to say
Speaker 5: it's just another game, they know they're lying to their teeth.
Speaker 5: They know the pack to this game. It's like Ohio State,
Speaker 5: Michigan and football. You can win the national championship, but
Speaker 5: people want to know did you beat Michigan? Did you
Speaker 5: beat Ohio State? That's all they care about. And if
Speaker 5: you in this game. As much as the fans for
Speaker 5: Cincinnati on their side, they're grumpy and grumbling about, you know,
Speaker 5: how they played thus far this season, if they win
Speaker 5: against Xavier all as well.
Speaker 1: Terry Nelson is, of course, one of the voices of
Speaker 1: your basketball bearcats on the Big One. Of course. He
Speaker 1: also and I want to make sure this is still accurate.
Speaker 1: Executive director C Club working to deal with the Letterman
Speaker 1: and those letter winners sort of a coming and reconnecting you.
Speaker 5: They stripped me up my powers. I'm no longer doing that.
Speaker 1: Oh no, okay, so I have old information. I am
Speaker 1: sorry that they say you stripped. They stripped you. That's
Speaker 1: a whole other conversation. So I don't even know like
Speaker 1: they took it. I was like, you didn't give it back,
Speaker 1: they took it. It sounds bad. So I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'm not trying to go into a bad area.
Speaker 1: So let's just leave that.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 5: They released me of my duties to hire another fundraiser, okay.
Speaker 5: And the beautiful momentum that we had that I was
Speaker 5: building with former athletes and doing parties and collecting information
Speaker 5: and all that. They're still trying to do it. But
Speaker 5: there's nobody like Terry.
Speaker 1: No, that's true. Oh no, I agree, one hundred percent.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: So I was just looking at these things. I was
Speaker 1: trying to give you your props. So I apologize. I
Speaker 1: just scratched that right off the list. But he did
Speaker 1: it in the past, so there you go. All right,
Speaker 1: So yeah, with these young guys and they're out there
Speaker 1: first of all playing in the Big twelve. Some of them,
Speaker 1: you know, they have bounced around, they've been other places
Speaker 1: and so forth, and putting together a team Whi's been
Speaker 1: interesting on the outside looking in, Terry Nelson is seeing
Speaker 1: how Wes Miller has gone out and find found these
Speaker 1: different guys who bring different skill sets in some fashion
Speaker 1: different experiences to this team and seeing in the early
Speaker 1: part of this season, in the last couple sort of
Speaker 1: how it all comes together and that gelling of them.
Speaker 1: Xavier's dealing with this all all these schools are at
Speaker 1: this point. How challenging is it? Do you think as
Speaker 1: a coach, is they try to sort of find cohesion
Speaker 1: with the units such as this.
Speaker 5: Very challenging because you know Richard Patino has the same thing.
Speaker 5: The NIL and transport portal area has ERA has really
Speaker 5: changed the game because you know, now the most important
Speaker 5: thing when you first get your team is now team buildings.
Speaker 5: So now you've got to spend money on taking them
Speaker 5: to top golf, taking them out of town to different things,
Speaker 5: and doing team building exercises, trying to build camaraderie and
Speaker 5: unity and get guys to trust each other and understanding
Speaker 5: and conflict resolution, all these things that you didn't really
Speaker 5: necessarily have to put at the top of the totem
Speaker 5: bowl when it comes to building your team before, but
Speaker 5: now because you're only going to have your team for
Speaker 5: a year, and it's very rare that guys come back
Speaker 5: because they're playing up to their left and they're trying
Speaker 5: to up their nil value metric and so they play well,
Speaker 5: they average fifteen points six rebounds or whatever they're hitting
Speaker 5: the portal because if they're doing to that UC, then
Speaker 5: maybe Duke may want me at that same level. Maybe
Speaker 5: I can do fifteen and six that Duke, and that
Speaker 5: goes from being two hundred thousand at UC to eight
Speaker 5: hundred thousand a Duke. That for those numbers, and so
Speaker 5: it's not so much about legacy, like man, I love Cincinnati,
Speaker 5: I want to retire. I mean, when I finish my career,
Speaker 5: I want to be here and come back for alumni
Speaker 5: Association and all these events and all that. Now guys
Speaker 5: are playing at five and sometimes six different schools during
Speaker 5: the COVID era, five four for sure, but five and
Speaker 5: six different schools I'm like, who are you gonna go
Speaker 5: to with when it comes to, you know, alumni events,
Speaker 5: you're gonna pay fifty dollars a month to six different
Speaker 5: schools or whatever, or you just not gonna give anything,
Speaker 5: because it's it's just crazy that there's no loyalty from
Speaker 5: either side because if a player is not doing what
Speaker 5: he's supposed to do, the coach will have that conversation like, look,
Speaker 5: where can I help you go because we're gonna just
Speaker 5: recruit over you. And then so that's what's happening to
Speaker 5: my son, who's that bowling green with Eddie George right now.
Speaker 5: They told him he's gonna have to hit the portal
Speaker 5: because they're gonna bring in our own guys from Tennessee
Speaker 5: State or wherever they're gonna bring them from. So in
Speaker 5: this era, it's hard to coach when you know you're
Speaker 5: only gonna have a guy for not even a full year,
Speaker 5: like from the beginning of September when you first go
Speaker 5: to class to the end of March, and at the
Speaker 5: end of March, they're in the portal. Whether you like
Speaker 5: them or not, they're in the portal, and it's just like,
Speaker 5: good God, like, how can you build something here. I
Speaker 5: don't end college coaches.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm glad these guys are being able to
Speaker 1: make a living and in some cases a very good living,
Speaker 1: and hopefully bank some of that money because there's no
Speaker 1: guarantee on the future, and it's been well deserved to
Speaker 1: be able to have some earnings out of what, you know,
Speaker 1: the work that you've done, and all these other guys
Speaker 1: do to reap some of those rewards. Talking to Terry Nelson,
Speaker 1: Crosstown Shootout tomorrow Bearcats Musketeers sentas where it's at this
Speaker 1: year ninety third matchup and here on seven hundred WLW
Speaker 1: was Sterling one more question before we get back to
Speaker 1: the shootout, specifically because the bouncing around hard enough on
Speaker 1: the court, as I mixed metaphors for these guys to
Speaker 1: be able to gel and find their way and for
Speaker 1: coaching and everything associated with that. And you know, I've
Speaker 1: moved around a bit doing this work, but it's a
Speaker 1: bit of a different animal over the years, just acclimating
Speaker 1: and so forth. How does that work? And how do
Speaker 1: these guys handle their studies because they're also having to
Speaker 1: devote even maybe more time where it is a ton
Speaker 1: of time just trying to get their game where it
Speaker 1: needs to be. Also, we're talking no, no, I heard you,
Speaker 1: I got you. I just want to make sure you
Speaker 1: were okay. But the silence for a minute was like pointing.
Speaker 1: I'm like, uh, oh, Terry is okay. I'm here dealing
Speaker 1: with everything to get it right on the court with
Speaker 1: all that transient menoportal movement. How is it for these
Speaker 1: guys trying to find their way academically or is that lost?
Speaker 1: I mean they still have to do what they have
Speaker 1: to do in the classroom.
Speaker 5: Right, Well, these guys are graduating earlier. Right So, doctor
Speaker 5: Joe Lucky is one of the best in the country.
Speaker 5: Ever since he's come to University Sincinnati from Memphis, the
Speaker 5: University of Cincinnati athletic department has been either number one
Speaker 5: or number two in overall department GPA in the AAC
Speaker 5: and the Big twelve.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 5: So doctor Joe Lucky makes everybody go to the summer
Speaker 5: school at least six hours. Its whole philosophy is, if
Speaker 5: you take eighteen hours and you take six in the summer,
Speaker 5: you're graduating four years. If you take a little bit more,
Speaker 5: take a little bit more in the summer, and you
Speaker 5: can have a chance of graduating three and a half
Speaker 5: years and still have time to know finish your masters.
Speaker 5: So there's some people that take twenty one credits and
Speaker 5: they go to summer school because they can stay here
Speaker 5: and get the meal plan and the whole nine and
Speaker 5: left and do the whole thing. Because they're dedicated to
Speaker 5: their crafts. They graduate in three years and they get
Speaker 5: that by the time they finish their playing career, they
Speaker 5: can have their master's degree. So and then a lot
Speaker 5: of the basketball players are taking online classes. So because
Speaker 5: doctor Lucky says it's not fair for an athlete to
Speaker 5: fly in and snowstorms and all the other stuff in
Speaker 5: the winter months when basketball is played and you know,
Speaker 5: being playing delays and all that and get there and
Speaker 5: have to go to an eight o'clock class or ten
Speaker 5: o'clock class or whatever when you just landed at two
Speaker 5: in the morning and you got to get unpacked, go
Speaker 5: to sleep the whole nine and then have to get
Speaker 5: up and be at school at ten in the morning.
Speaker 5: Get them an online classes so now he can send
Speaker 5: one of his staff members to go on every tip
Speaker 5: they go and check their work with the laptops and
Speaker 5: everything that's provided for them. So it's been much better
Speaker 5: because guys are they're not missing classes. Everybody has over
Speaker 5: it three point zero and everybody's getting their stuff done
Speaker 5: and he makes it. And Doctor Lucky has been empowered
Speaker 5: as a senior associate athletic director that he can pull
Speaker 5: a guy from a game and the coach has nothing
Speaker 5: to do with it. So if a guy is not
Speaker 5: going to class, if he's not getting his work done,
Speaker 5: doctor Lucky can can call in and be like, hey,
Speaker 5: he's until he gets his paper done. He can't come
Speaker 5: to practice, he can't come to a game, and the
Speaker 5: coach has nothing to say about it because that's his
Speaker 5: job now. And so because there's a standard like that, now,
Speaker 5: guys they take it serious and they get their work done.
Speaker 1: It's an amazing thing. Way before anything like this was
Speaker 1: going on, I remember just at right stage seeing these
Speaker 1: guys in class and I'm like, you guys played last night.
Speaker 1: I listened, I watched, and they're in there hitting the
Speaker 1: books and more focus than I was. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I am obviously not getting it done.
Speaker 5: And now we're trying to be models. They're in their
Speaker 5: sleeping brother, come.
Speaker 1: On, some mus I might have fallen asleep too. For
Speaker 1: that matter, I'm thinking about talking to Terry Nelson the
Speaker 1: Crossown shootout tomorrow. All right, So these guys who are
Speaker 1: not familiar when you walk into another campus and you
Speaker 1: walk onto that court at Sentas and these guys who
Speaker 1: haven't felt this matchup in this energy in the ninety
Speaker 1: third meeting of Musketeers and Bearcats, and they're looking to
Speaker 1: get it on tomorrow night on seven hundred WLW. Does
Speaker 1: that energy just soak into them and they get it?
Speaker 1: How long do you think it takes before they start
Speaker 1: to feel that energy from the crowd, from the alums,
Speaker 1: from everybody else there who may you know, have already
Speaker 1: experienced this for you know, a couple of seasons, two years.
Speaker 5: It gets real when they get there in that ninety
Speaker 5: minutes before and they're doing shoot arounds and they're doing
Speaker 5: their pregame stuff, and the Xavier students will be there
Speaker 5: drinking signs, you know, having signs held up calling them
Speaker 5: out their name, trying to get them off their game,
Speaker 5: you know, trying to jar them a little bit. It'll
Speaker 5: it'll hit them because some of these guys have been
Speaker 5: in the environments where even if they were the opposing team.
Speaker 5: People knew who they were and they were like wanting
Speaker 5: to see a show. So they may talk a little
Speaker 5: trash until they show that they are like that and
Speaker 5: this is the reason why they're going D one or whatever.
Speaker 5: Then they'd be like, Oh, everybody's clapping for the guy
Speaker 5: who's making to play. Regardless of what side they're on.
Speaker 5: Xavier is different. They're gonna realize that Xavier don't care
Speaker 5: if you have a forty point game. They're gonna talk
Speaker 5: bad about you the entire game. They're gonna say stuff
Speaker 5: about you. They're gonna try to get into your head.
Speaker 5: And they have to be mentally tough because only mentally
Speaker 5: strong and mentally tough teams going to Xavier and win.
Speaker 5: So if in the crossounds shootout situation, don't get intimidated
Speaker 5: by the crowd because normally you go to a gym
Speaker 5: at ninety minutes before, it's not that pack. It's just
Speaker 5: some of the service workers. It's a couple of college
Speaker 5: students coming in there. Xavier, it's the student section is
Speaker 5: gonna be packed. They're gonna be there waiting. When I
Speaker 5: played Memphis was like that they had signs, they had
Speaker 5: you know, they were drinking they had newspapers, they put
Speaker 5: their face, you know, hide their face. They want to
Speaker 5: see you. Navier is the real deal. This environment is
Speaker 5: gonna be good for them because for some of them
Speaker 5: it's gonna be shocking. So we're hoping that once they
Speaker 5: see that and they get into a game, they make
Speaker 5: a shot early or get a block early or still
Speaker 5: early to settle them down, because they're gonna want to
Speaker 5: prove to themselves that they're gonna want to shut the
Speaker 5: fans up so bad that they forced the issue. Like
Speaker 5: Kobe Bryant in Game seven of that two thy eleven
Speaker 5: Championship against the Celtics, where he couldn't make a shot yep,
Speaker 5: but he still got an MVP of the series, but
Speaker 5: he wanted it so bad that his nerves overtook him
Speaker 5: and he couldn't make a shot. It took ron our
Speaker 5: test to win a game, you know, from them to
Speaker 5: get that championship. It's gonna be nerve wrecking.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to giving an earful tomorrow. Bearcatch look
Speaker 1: to make it back to back. They won by three
Speaker 1: sixty eight sixty five last year. They'll do it at
Speaker 1: Sentas Tomorrow night, seven thirty tip off It's always great
Speaker 1: hearing you. Good to talk to you. I appreciate you
Speaker 1: making time. It's tear Nelson. He is a legend until
Speaker 1: he'll be calling the game with Dan Horde tomorrow. Right
Speaker 1: here on seven hundred WLW whi's the Crosstown shootout. Terry,
Speaker 1: thank you for making time. I really do appreciate it.
Speaker 1: I hope you have a great night.
Speaker 5: Done.
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. All right, news time straight away. Sorry
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit late. We'll have Dave Hatter on
Speaker 1: the other side talking to cybersecurity issues. Where the Bengals
Speaker 1: play Sunday here seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati. Can you hear that?
Speaker 1: That's the sound of lots of electronic toys, communication technology
Speaker 1: on the wrist, in the hand, in the backseat, in
Speaker 1: the bed at night with that blue light when you're
Speaker 1: supposed to be trying to sleep or the kids are
Speaker 1: supposed to be getting ready for school tomorrow, rather than
Speaker 1: like who knows what they're doing there? Maybe buying games
Speaker 1: and stuff on your dollar. There's a lot including shopping.
Speaker 1: Is we continue to hit the store cyber week, I
Speaker 1: guess is what we're calling it now. How you're doing
Speaker 1: at Sterling on a Thursday Night. Dave Patter, cybersecurity expert
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW Hicks credentials or an alphabet soup of things.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what the hell they are.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: He's an architect of software, consultant, educator and he's a
Speaker 1: self described nerd, which I I think we're maybe brothers
Speaker 1: from other mothers. Dave Patter, how are you? How's everything?
Speaker 4: I'm good, stirring, thanks for having me on. And you
Speaker 4: know I was gonna say, but you said it better
Speaker 4: than I could. You could just condence all of it down.
Speaker 4: I'm going to just kind of a nerd, you know,
Speaker 4: cool hat wear nerd. When you get right down to
Speaker 4: the brother.
Speaker 1: It's all right. You're well dressed. We saw you at
Speaker 1: the Christmas party. It was good and I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know why I didn't ask it like you
Speaker 1: have you on then, but I was like, just shiny objects,
Speaker 1: jingle bells and all. It was too much And I
Speaker 1: are absolutely and you were headed out. I think you
Speaker 1: had some type of mayor business to deal with, because
Speaker 1: you know you you are that guy, which is pretty
Speaker 1: nice too for it, right, right, So I.
Speaker 4: Had to get out of there. You are correct, for
Speaker 4: a city council meeting, you know, before it got too crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I try to avoid the crazy, but it maintained
Speaker 1: some sense of the court. Somebody's got to do it,
Speaker 1: so as mayor for instance, as well as an expert
Speaker 1: in cybersecurity. And I have friends who had issues with
Speaker 1: the water bill, not in Ohio but elsewhere recently where
Speaker 1: apparently their water company or whoever provides their water service
Speaker 1: apparently got jacked, which has caused them problems. This being
Speaker 1: the holiday shopping season, lots of new gear as well,
Speaker 1: aside from just going either on a device of choice
Speaker 1: or actually going to the store, which I like to
Speaker 1: do a little bit of both, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: issues with people's credentials being stolen and emails and phishing
Speaker 1: scams and everything else. And I don't mean like I'm
Speaker 1: going to take a trip to go do some fly fishing.
Speaker 1: We're talking about fishing of other types. What's the biggest
Speaker 1: threat or concern that you see right now now, Dave Hatter, Well.
Speaker 4: You always see elevated risk around any type of big
Speaker 4: time shopping event. Prime Day for example, when Prime Day
Speaker 4: hit this year, a cybersecurity firm had done so research
Speaker 4: and in this place right into what I'm going to
Speaker 4: say next. But they did some research and found that
Speaker 4: over two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand fraudulent websites were
Speaker 4: created around Prime Day at a four month period. And
Speaker 4: there's two key things, and then I'll come back to
Speaker 4: the Christmas season here. First off, the average person who's
Speaker 4: not in the business like me and a nerd like
Speaker 4: you to spend thirty plus years do with this, doesn't
Speaker 4: realize how easy it is to create something that is spooked,
Speaker 4: something that looks legitimate to the naked eye, but it
Speaker 4: is fraudulent. Whether it's an entire website like these two
Speaker 4: hundred thousand websites, whether it's an email, whether it's a
Speaker 4: text message, whether it's a phone call. And thanks to AI,
Speaker 4: it's getting easier and easier to do these things. But
Speaker 4: it's very easy to create something that looks like it's
Speaker 4: legit to the naked eye, and unless you're fairly technical
Speaker 4: or we know how to dig into it, you can't
Speaker 4: tell it's not legit. The bad guys notice. And when
Speaker 4: you get into these again, these shopping oriented seasons, they
Speaker 4: will frequently set up fake websites. They will you know,
Speaker 4: send out hundreds of millions of phishing emails because it's
Speaker 4: cheap and easy to do, and it's easy to make
Speaker 4: them look very realistic. I would bet you every single
Speaker 4: person you're listening audience has gotten one or more frauds
Speaker 4: with texts in the last couple of days. I'm de
Speaker 4: loused with these things. You know, your package didn't get delivered,
Speaker 4: you owe a told the sheriff wants to see you
Speaker 4: about whatever.
Speaker 5: I mean.
Speaker 4: You know, it's very easy to spoop a phone number,
Speaker 4: and it's nearly, you know, almost free to send out texts,
Speaker 4: so you know they're coming at you from every angle.
Speaker 4: They're on social media, they're in kids' video games. But
Speaker 4: when you get into these shopping seas, its right when
Speaker 4: they know people are looking for deals. In many cases,
Speaker 4: you've got guys like me who wait to the last
Speaker 4: minutes to buy something for their wife. You know, they're
Speaker 4: playing off all these angles. They're putting all this fraudulum
Speaker 4: stuff out there, But it's really the stooping and then
Speaker 4: the social engineering that goes along with it. Whether it's
Speaker 4: the this deal is too good to be true. You
Speaker 4: have to act by five pm to day or your
Speaker 4: package has been delayed or whatever. They create things that
Speaker 4: look very realistic and then and you know, they engineer
Speaker 4: you with either a deal it's too good to be true,
Speaker 4: or there's some sort of disaster that's about to happen
Speaker 4: to you. And you know that's how they suck people
Speaker 4: into this stuff, and then it just gets elevated around
Speaker 4: the You know it's never ending, but it's really elevated
Speaker 4: these times a year because they know people are ready
Speaker 4: to spend money and they're out there looking for good deals.
Speaker 1: Talking to Dave had her cybersecurity expert of the Big One,
Speaker 1: Stirling on two hundred thousand fraudulent websites. That's hard to process.
Speaker 1: But the bell that rang in my head as soon
Speaker 1: as you said that is that someone very close to me,
Speaker 1: an elderly or elder relative of mine, tells me is
Speaker 1: she was getting on one of her insurance websites that
Speaker 1: apparently they had spoofed that site and had different phone
Speaker 1: numbers and even a link that she caught early, but
Speaker 1: was concerned even calling that wasn't sure that what number
Speaker 1: was right because they were just a number or two
Speaker 1: off for transposed, and not everybody. I was surprised. She
Speaker 1: reached out to me. I'm like, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I'm the right person to call this, but what do
Speaker 1: you tell so what about that? And you would think
Speaker 1: that a big insurance company would have a way to
Speaker 1: protect themselves from that very issue, if nothing else, by
Speaker 1: using you know, all the dot biz, dot everything else
Speaker 1: to avoid anything close to being faked.
Speaker 4: Well, you're you're on the right track, Sterling, And in
Speaker 4: many larger organizations with deep pockets that can go out
Speaker 4: and register a bunch of different domains will do that
Speaker 4: right to keep people from setting up these doppelganger domains
Speaker 4: and these spoof websites for something similar. But there's there's
Speaker 4: two major problems with this that make it an almost
Speaker 4: insurmountable task. Again, even if you're like a Kroger p
Speaker 4: and G someone with very deep pockets, you might register
Speaker 4: a Kroger dot com, Kroger dot biz, Kroger dot whatever. Right,
Speaker 4: here's here's the thing that the bad guys know that
Speaker 4: the average person doesn't, and it really gets to the
Speaker 4: heart of this spoofing issue. Again. You can I could
Speaker 4: go out right now and with very little skill get
Speaker 4: a get a free tool that would allow me to
Speaker 4: clone to literally copy everything off the seven hundred wl
Speaker 4: do website, put it on a server somewhere and then now,
Speaker 4: of course, the trick is, how do I register a
Speaker 4: domain that looks like seven hundred wow dot com or
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. Sure, well, okay, here's part
Speaker 4: of the trick if you think about it. Other languages
Speaker 4: have different characters, right, Spanish has a different character set.
Speaker 4: You know, it overlaps with English, but they have certain
Speaker 4: characters with umlautz and umloutz. German but things like that, right,
Speaker 4: German has you know, umlountz. When you look at other
Speaker 4: characters and from other character sets, right, Like, if you
Speaker 4: get a keyboard that's set up for German, it will
Speaker 4: allow you to enter these German characters. So this is
Speaker 4: the idea of a character set. Well, there's character sets
Speaker 4: for every language known. Demand I could go out and
Speaker 4: I could try to register a domain seven hundreds of
Speaker 4: a little tricky because they're just zeros. But I might
Speaker 4: rEFInd a character set where the upper case letter O
Speaker 4: to the naked eye looks like a zero. The computer
Speaker 4: knows that's not a zero, but the human being does
Speaker 4: not know that's not a zero. I might register domain
Speaker 4: name like city Bank, where the A is actually like
Speaker 4: a different character from another language, looks very similar to
Speaker 4: the English A. If you know what you're looking for,
Speaker 4: and you look very carefully, you'll see a very very
Speaker 4: tiny difference. But the average person A does not even
Speaker 4: know this is a thing. And secondarily, unless you're paying
Speaker 4: extremely careful attention and you're just a total tinfoil hat
Speaker 4: nut like me, you're not going to notice this. The
Speaker 4: bad guys know this, of course, so I think, and
Speaker 4: that's you know, that's why one of the reasons why
Speaker 4: I very much appreciate you letting me come on to
Speaker 4: talk about this. But the best defense against all of
Speaker 4: this is awareness. Awareness that this is happening, That this
Speaker 4: is not some stuff some nut like me made up.
Speaker 4: This is real. It's happening all the time. These people
Speaker 4: that are behind it are very smart, right, and they're
Speaker 4: playing off the fact that the average person doesn't understand
Speaker 4: any of this. So I create a website like target
Speaker 4: dot com, for example, and instead of the A, I
Speaker 4: use the krillic right, it looks almost exactly like an A.
Speaker 4: So and to answer your question specifically, there is it
Speaker 4: would be almost impossible to register every possible combination of
Speaker 4: a domain with every character set known demand to try
Speaker 4: to block someone from creating a doppelganger site that's using
Speaker 4: that technique. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1: This is a difficult It absolutely does, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: really make me feel a whole lot better about any
Speaker 1: of this. To be honest with you're talking to Dave
Speaker 1: had or cybersecurity expert. But yeah, I understand, you just
Speaker 1: have to be It's sort of like with telling someone
Speaker 1: that you know when they tell you they're not going
Speaker 1: to call you, that they're really not going to call
Speaker 1: you and ask you for information out of the blue
Speaker 1: or text you for certain information and so forth.
Speaker 4: I want to go down that path because I think
Speaker 4: that's super important and it ties into this. But there's
Speaker 4: one last thing I want to throw out. And even
Speaker 4: if they don't use a different character set, they're sometimes
Speaker 4: so crafty. They might register let's say Microsoft dot com
Speaker 4: and they'll use a lowercase R and a lowercase end
Speaker 4: because unless you're looking very carefully, it looks like a
Speaker 4: lowercase M when they're right next to one another. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's how that's how creative these folks are. So again,
Speaker 4: knowing these kind of scams are out there and knowing
Speaker 4: that you should be extra aware and on heightened alert
Speaker 4: year when they're sending out the deal that's too good
Speaker 4: to be true and you got to act on it today. Right,
Speaker 4: If you're just aware and skeptical, you're going to be
Speaker 4: a lot better off than most people. And then to
Speaker 4: your point, like, don't take the call. So this just
Speaker 4: just in the headlines. Recently, Apple has been warning that
Speaker 4: there are tech support scams out there. This tech support
Speaker 4: scam is not new, but it doesn't have to be
Speaker 4: tech support. No big company. Apple will tell you on
Speaker 4: their website. Google will tell you on their website. Microsoft
Speaker 4: will tell you on their website. And if you don't
Speaker 4: believe what I'm about to say, neck try to call
Speaker 4: them and see if you can get help from them,
Speaker 4: much less them sitting around going huh, looks like Sterling's
Speaker 4: computer might have a virus. Hey, Sterling, this is Apple.
Speaker 4: You might have a virus on your computer. Well, I'm
Speaker 4: just letting me get in there and fix that thing
Speaker 4: up for you. That is never, ever, ever, ever going
Speaker 4: to happen. If you get a call like that, you know,
Speaker 4: you get a call from your bank going back you
Speaker 4: mentioned irrelative. I'm sitting on accounts one night with my
Speaker 4: wife and she gets a call from our bank quote
Speaker 4: unquote USAA, hey, there's broad on your accounts. Blah blah
Speaker 4: blah blah. My hang up, it's a scam. She's like, no,
Speaker 4: this sounds legitimate. It's a scam.
Speaker 5: Trust me. Hang up.
Speaker 4: Your bank is not going to call you. They're not
Speaker 4: going to text you, and if they do, right, you
Speaker 4: should not act on that. You should hang up, don't
Speaker 4: take the call, get out your credit card, call the
Speaker 4: number on the credit card, get your bank statement, go
Speaker 4: to the app on your phone that you use every day,
Speaker 4: Go to the website that you use. Don't take debate folks,
Speaker 4: because they are professional con artists.
Speaker 1: That's their job. It'll be nice if they use their
Speaker 1: powers for good, but they don't. I guess it's part
Speaker 1: of the fun. They've had. Her final question, We're short
Speaker 1: on time, and I appreciate the insight. And I could
Speaker 1: talk for hours on this, which I'm sure would put
Speaker 1: you to sleep, because this is what you're life. I
Speaker 1: just live in fear and don't answer my phone, so
Speaker 1: yes or no answer. Effectively, smart toys are everywhere. AI
Speaker 1: is everywhere. Do you trust smart toys with your kids
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five going into twenty twenty six, this
Speaker 1: gift giving holiday season.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, not a chance I would buy any sort of
Speaker 4: internet connected toy, especially if it has a AI in
Speaker 4: it for my children or grandchildren. Not a chance I
Speaker 4: would buy something like that. Way too much risk, not
Speaker 4: just because of the AI, but because of the surveillance
Speaker 4: they're recording the freaky, weird people that could potentially access
Speaker 4: your kids through it. I would avoid that stuff like
Speaker 4: the plague. And if you look at any kind of
Speaker 4: consumer ambassy groups that looks at this, they will tell
Speaker 4: you the same thing, stay away from next stuff.
Speaker 1: How can people find out more about what you do
Speaker 1: and reach out if they in fact need the help
Speaker 1: of one day've had or cybersecurity expert here the big.
Speaker 4: One, Well, I'm easy to find on x Dave at
Speaker 4: dave had LinkedIn or intrust dash dot com.
Speaker 1: There you go, Thank you, my man. I hope you
Speaker 1: have a fantastic night. And I feel see you're supposed
Speaker 1: to make me feel better. And even Joe Waddell was
Speaker 1: producing He's like, I don't feel much safer at all,
Speaker 1: So that's great, I guess fear is great. TV is
Speaker 1: good at scaring people. I guess we're getting better at it.
Speaker 1: Two here Dave had her Thank you.
Speaker 4: Sir, always my pleasure.
Speaker 1: Ster Thanks, take care of yourself. Quick break coming up
Speaker 1: ten third to report, other side more to do plus
Speaker 1: Dev Shapiro talking about got a deal and saving money
Speaker 1: for you this holiday season. Sterling seven hundred WLW. Hey,
Speaker 1: how you doing, Sterling? Hanging out fine? Thursday Night, seven
Speaker 1: hundred WLW. Somer Night Basketball bear Cats Crosstown shoot at
Speaker 1: face off against Xavier's Musketeers Sinta Center seven thirty tip
Speaker 1: conversation earlier with Terry Nelson, of course, one of those
Speaker 1: voices of the basketball bear Cats that are on the
Speaker 1: program for a long time than they're part of that
Speaker 1: final four team back in ninety two. As well. You
Speaker 1: can listen back to the podcast talking to him about
Speaker 1: that matchup and everything else with that podcast to be
Speaker 1: up at the show a little bit later as we
Speaker 1: get into atn after midnight. Also a bit stuff with
Speaker 1: Dave Hatter or cybersecurity expere with a whole lot of
Speaker 1: people shopping and so forth for new gear and a
Speaker 1: lot of concern and people out there looking to high
Speaker 1: star stuff our identities in our pockets for sure, looking
Speaker 1: to rip people off. So that'll be worth listening to
Speaker 1: as well. Coming up in about twenty seven minutes or so,
Speaker 1: Deb Shapiro from godadeal dot com going to talk about
Speaker 1: saving money and where the best deals are this cyber
Speaker 1: week and what's left of it and leading up through
Speaker 1: those holidays where were let to take care of the
Speaker 1: ones that we care about, the ones we love, and
Speaker 1: it maybe even a little good stuff for ourselves as well.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you hanging out speaking of such a larra Lee
Speaker 1: Mallen came in. I'm sorry, I just said a brain cramp.
Speaker 1: He comes in to the studio and he says, you're
Speaker 1: looking for like a ramp for like laptops and desktop
Speaker 1: computers and so forth. AI, which is supposed to be
Speaker 1: the savior for everything unless you're in like hospitality business
Speaker 1: with a lot of jobs, will be made a lot
Speaker 1: easier with the help of AI and all the technology
Speaker 1: with it helping to make stuff faster, complicated solutions found
Speaker 1: much easier, and so forth. But streamlining workflows and of
Speaker 1: course rationalizing expenses for individuals, for small business and certainly
Speaker 1: big business of the world is changing and changing fast,
Speaker 1: but this is disturbing if you're someone who likes to
Speaker 1: mess around with your own technology, your laptop, your desktop.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're a gamer somebody like that, where you want
Speaker 1: to maybe put some ram in, maybe soup up your
Speaker 1: stuff without actually buying new gear overall, new laptop, new desktop.
Speaker 1: I've been one of those people who go to microcenter,
Speaker 1: go online, maybe somewhere else order look for the best
Speaker 1: price for the stuff, something quality. And apparently the idea
Speaker 1: of cheap RAM, at least for the time being, is
Speaker 1: not going to be back anytime soon, depending on what
Speaker 1: you're looking at. And they say that's because of a
Speaker 1: generative AI data centers. Apparently it's sucking up all the
Speaker 1: world's memory and storage supplies and jacking up prices with it.
Speaker 1: It's not just going to be our electricity or issues
Speaker 1: with water to cool down all these hard working technologies.
Speaker 1: Apparently it's also going to hurt people who like to
Speaker 1: mess around and build their own stuff or tool it
Speaker 1: or whatever else they're saying. Now price is up five
Speaker 1: hundred percent for SSD and overall mets from a CyberPower
Speaker 1: pc and a bunch of others. May we had to
Speaker 1: have Dave Hatter on about this too. My guess is
Speaker 1: he's one of those like fix him up type of people.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. So in the midst of all this change
Speaker 1: and evolution, if you will, that's going to be something
Speaker 1: to look forward to, apparently cheaper to just to buy
Speaker 1: new stuff, which is where we are in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways, disposable society. I mean, you know, take the
Speaker 1: time to fix something or order it, you know, from
Speaker 1: a pick up place or go to the store, and
Speaker 1: you can buy new for less than it would be
Speaker 1: to fix some stuff used to be. You know tube
Speaker 1: TV's I hear my elders tell me about. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember when you go you have a TV repair
Speaker 1: man come to the house, they plug tubes in, get
Speaker 1: it fixed up. And you know that you keep a
Speaker 1: TV that was the size of like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe my first apartment or something. Now you get a
Speaker 1: TV the size of your wall, and if it goes
Speaker 1: on the fritz, depending, you just go get a new one.
Speaker 1: So it's a weird, disposable kind of world in which
Speaker 1: we're living in a lot of ways, and apparently laptops
Speaker 1: and other stuff for that ram that gets popped in
Speaker 1: and out. If you wanted to sort of soup up
Speaker 1: your gear, it's going to be a situation where it
Speaker 1: might be cheaper to go buy something new overall and
Speaker 1: forget about it. So that's something leading into the holidays.
Speaker 1: And if you've got somebody who's big into gaming and
Speaker 1: so forth, they probably already known this. It's been a
Speaker 1: while since I've actually, you know, souped up one of
Speaker 1: my bits of equipment. And when Lee came in here,
Speaker 1: I was like, what are you talking about? I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh no, let me see. So I started looking at prices. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is steep. It is happening five three seven nine
Speaker 1: seven eight hundred. The Big One. Your chance to get interactive,
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. If you're streaming there and it's Thursday,
Speaker 1: you know what's happening live. And if you're looking at
Speaker 1: a podcast, we can still talk back by clicking on
Speaker 1: the microphone into certainly leaving a message there. I'm going
Speaker 1: to bring something and you can sound off on anything
Speaker 1: that we've talked about. Basically tonight. Five three seven nine,
Speaker 1: seven thousand, eight hundred. The Big One. Pick up the phone,
Speaker 1: give it the finger. Like my good friend mister K
Speaker 1: used to say, I want to revisit something I mentioned earlier,
Speaker 1: because I have gotten a good number of communicate by
Speaker 1: way of X in direct messaging also and to some
Speaker 1: conversations that just in general, and I sort of led
Speaker 1: with this early on, talking about those Pentagon officials, higher
Speaker 1: ups in the military generals and stuff with a whole
Speaker 1: lot of decorations on those chests. You may have seen
Speaker 1: video of this already closed door meeting with lawmakers discussing
Speaker 1: those attacks on what they're calling drug boats in parts
Speaker 1: of the Pacific. They got another one today, killing four
Speaker 1: and apparently putting the kaibash on some drugs coming stateside.
Speaker 1: At least that's the idea, whether from Columbia or elsewhere,
Speaker 1: whether it's from Venezuela over in the Caribbean. Of course,
Speaker 1: when all these attacks started, which is what this hearing
Speaker 1: was about, and these conversations and probing questions with these
Speaker 1: military generals and so forth who were a party to
Speaker 1: these decisions and continuing that operation, that's onward and forward
Speaker 1: at this point. Here's what I want to know, because
Speaker 1: the idea of the war on drugs, right, it seems
Speaker 1: like as long as I've been alive, they've been talking
Speaker 1: about a war on drugs, which means that a whole
Speaker 1: lot of people still looking to get hopped up on
Speaker 1: the goofballs of one type or another and enjoying the
Speaker 1: drugs and stuff. And it doesn't seem that the hunger
Speaker 1: is going away. So I'm just wondering, because you know,
Speaker 1: this was not far from but certainly the ravages of
Speaker 1: the opioid epidemic and still fentanyl issues and car fentanyl issues,
Speaker 1: and people still like the cocaine I understand, and there
Speaker 1: are probably some other drugs I don't even know about
Speaker 1: that people like to get hopped up on. The concern
Speaker 1: is not knowing the power of some of these. And
Speaker 1: there was a whole lot of talk that it was
Speaker 1: from China before China, China, China, China, China. We kept
Speaker 1: hearing it was from China. Then we heard it was
Speaker 1: coming through Canada, so they sealed up that border. Apparently
Speaker 1: they sealed up the southern border. Now they're going after
Speaker 1: like cigar boats and everything else. That reminds me of
Speaker 1: reruns of Miami Vice that's pretty much streaming twenty four
Speaker 1: hours a day. What I want to know is this,
Speaker 1: what do you think this is going to somehow help
Speaker 1: limit the supply of drugs here Stateside, my guess is
Speaker 1: they'll find another way to get it in here. I'm
Speaker 1: just guessing cargo containers, whatever else it is, and law enforcement,
Speaker 1: DEA whatever, they're working hard trying to end all of this.
Speaker 1: But what I want to know in addition to that is,
Speaker 1: are you concerned about so called war crimes? Are you
Speaker 1: concerned that somehow in international waters we're just blowing these
Speaker 1: vessels up and leaving people to fend for themselves, if
Speaker 1: not killing them immediately, letting them drown, or whatever else
Speaker 1: goes into it. If you've ever been out at sea
Speaker 1: any distance where you can't see shore anymore, probably can't
Speaker 1: swim the shore. We certainly know that the drug problem
Speaker 1: here State site is an issue. Is this going to
Speaker 1: help curb it? Just raise prices for the dope? Is
Speaker 1: this something that we should be doing with our military?
Speaker 1: I asked, because a lot of people are upset, A
Speaker 1: lot of people are up in arms, you know, and
Speaker 1: a lot of people are thinking that somehow we have
Speaker 1: crossed a line, and that includes lawmakers, some from both
Speaker 1: sides of the aisle in relation to this. So I'm
Speaker 1: just curious I have seen the ravages of what drugs do.
Speaker 1: Whether it's legal drug like alcohol booze. A lot of
Speaker 1: people hit the bottle. More people kill themselves drinking than
Speaker 1: just about anything else. Hell, they kill a lot of
Speaker 1: other people too when they get behind the wheel. Whether
Speaker 1: it's you know, prescription medications used and abused, whether it's
Speaker 1: some other type of pharmaceutical that is cooked up someplace,
Speaker 1: methamphetamine or otherwise. People like to get high. They have
Speaker 1: always like to alter their minds. It starts as early
Speaker 1: as the playground and spinning around on do you call
Speaker 1: it a marrow go round? Whatever, the things that spins around,
Speaker 1: and then you know, or even I've seen kids and
Speaker 1: I remember doing this spinning around and then you know,
Speaker 1: you fall down because you're dizzy and disoriented. That's the
Speaker 1: first time a lot of kids notice that they're altered,
Speaker 1: not feeling like they once did, a little woozy or otherwise.
Speaker 1: So one is this going to make a difference? Should there?
Speaker 1: What can we do differently? And do you give a
Speaker 1: damn about people being blown up in the Caribbean or
Speaker 1: in parts of the Pacific by our military if they
Speaker 1: are in fact putting an end to an influx of
Speaker 1: the illegal drugs that is leaving the wake of carnage, death, suffering,
Speaker 1: illicit trafficking on the streets of Cincinnati, in Newport and
Speaker 1: Covington and Dayton, Ohio, or anywhere else across the country
Speaker 1: for that matter, thirty eight states after dark listening to
Speaker 1: me on the Nation station or effectively the world and
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. People have been looking to get drunk
Speaker 1: and high in one way or another forever. So what
Speaker 1: difference is this really going to make? And if you
Speaker 1: are on vacation or heading some place in the Caribbean,
Speaker 1: are you more or less likely to take a fishing
Speaker 1: vessel out in a boat to go check out and
Speaker 1: to see if you can't catch some big fish or
Speaker 1: maybe do some scuba diving. I've been to Cosmo, I've
Speaker 1: been to other places in the Caribbean and had a
Speaker 1: chance to do with some of that. I like to
Speaker 1: fish as well. My biggest worry was losing a pole,
Speaker 1: running out of air, getting the bends. I never thought
Speaker 1: that in that situation I might be looking from above
Speaker 1: to see if it was my ass that was going
Speaker 1: to be blown out of the water, which is what
Speaker 1: people in these countries are now are saying that they're
Speaker 1: fishermen and not drug dealers or traffickers five point three
Speaker 1: seven four nine seven eight hundred the big one. Does
Speaker 1: it matter to you that this is going on? And
Speaker 1: the idea that it is a war and the question
Speaker 1: of war crimes is that you'd have to have a
Speaker 1: declaration of war, which I don't recall we've done, even
Speaker 1: though it has been the war on drugs for as
Speaker 1: long as I've pretty much been alive. To Clifton and
Speaker 1: Kevin was sterling on seven hundred WLW Kevin, what's going on?
Speaker 1: Appreciate you listening to being a part of the show.
Speaker 7: Spelling. You hit it on that. You hit it on
Speaker 7: the head man, you hit it one hundred on the
Speaker 7: head Tarling play style Montown listener, Uh, thank you you
Speaker 7: and Donna, you guys right. Appreciate Now here's the thing.
Speaker 7: Own property, well, my family does in the caravan and
Speaker 7: I'm afraid spelling, I am afraid. I'm afraid. I'm usually Kevin,
Speaker 7: but now I'm afraid because them pulling the boats and
Speaker 7: I guess I can't go out on the boat.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 7: The good thing is I don't swim that well, so
Speaker 7: I probably wasn't going on the boat anyway, It's probably
Speaker 7: not going to work out. I don't think I'll start
Speaker 7: targeting planes because I do fly and those are really small.
Speaker 7: Post story, I am. I am at a loss as
Speaker 7: to whether or not those are the kind of boats
Speaker 7: are the problems for the millions of pounds of drugs
Speaker 7: coming to the US on an annual basis. I just
Speaker 7: I don't see it.
Speaker 1: There is a hunger. I would think that there would
Speaker 1: be an effort in some way, because I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: we don't want it coming here. Although I say, do
Speaker 1: what you want and handle yourself appropriately and if you
Speaker 1: you know, if you want to do some drugs, do them.
Speaker 1: Just don't put anybody else in harm's way and live
Speaker 1: your life. That's just my view, right. But on the
Speaker 1: other side of it, do you have a problem with
Speaker 1: them blowing these people out of the water in general,
Speaker 1: if in fact they can confirm that it isn't you know,
Speaker 1: something inbound to the States or no.
Speaker 7: So look, I mean you know the so first off,
Speaker 7: I have a massive degree in public public administration, right,
Speaker 7: so the only thing I know is policy, and I
Speaker 7: don't know if any policy that allows for them to
Speaker 7: do it, and that's the concern. Listen, if you do
Speaker 7: it within the regulations of our great United States, right,
Speaker 7: the Constitution, and you do what it's constitutionally appropriate, I
Speaker 7: have no problem. But not being from this country does
Speaker 7: not mean you don't have those same inalienable rights. Right.
Speaker 7: That's why our founder fathers came up with that document
Speaker 7: to say, Hey, this isn't just for the people in
Speaker 7: the United States, this is for all people. So blowing
Speaker 7: somebody up in the middle of the water without giving
Speaker 7: them a trial, yeah, that rubs me the wrong way,
Speaker 7: the same way as is right somebody where it's down
Speaker 7: the street and do something nefarious to somebody related to you, right,
Speaker 7: because to me, it's the same thing.
Speaker 1: You know what, I absolutely do. I get it. I
Speaker 1: get it, and I appreciate the perspective and what you bring.
Speaker 1: I hope you'll call again. I appreciate you the kind
Speaker 1: words and listening into a great perspective. Kevin. I hope
Speaker 1: you have a fantastic night you too. Merry Christmas, Happy
Speaker 1: holidays to you as well. Christmas time is here for sure,
Speaker 1: your chance to get interactive on this and other stuff
Speaker 1: coming up as well. Dev Shapiro Gidadeal dot comm gonna
Speaker 1: join us, talk about saving money for you and yours
Speaker 1: and the deals still left for Cyber weekend, whatever else
Speaker 1: between now and Christmas time and Hanukkah and Kwanza and
Speaker 1: whatever makes you happy in these United States, It's a
Speaker 1: Thursday Sterling Crosstown shootout. Tomorrow night, bear Cats, Musketeers sentas
Speaker 1: and here on the nation station comes Sunday. What else
Speaker 1: Bengals bills from Buffalo one o'clock, seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: There we go, one final hour to get going to
Speaker 1: spend this fine Thursday night. Kevin Gordon, America's trucking network
Speaker 1: in the distance getting warmed up after midnight, kind enough
Speaker 1: to give us some time sterling hanging out here. Dev Shapiro,
Speaker 1: it's been way too long, close to a year from
Speaker 1: godadeal dot com. Welcome back to the big One. How
Speaker 1: are you. How's a holiday season treating you?
Speaker 2: I'm doing great? How are you guys doing?
Speaker 1: I have no complaints. We're supposed to connect. I think
Speaker 1: it was last week and you were You're in Dallas.
Speaker 1: For those who don't know, you were in the midst
Speaker 1: of like some serious like thunderstorm action. We were thinking
Speaker 1: snow and you were dealing with a different type of
Speaker 1: storm scenario. So you survive.
Speaker 2: Problem, Yeah, no problem.
Speaker 6: Probably about two miles away from my house, another house
Speaker 6: was struck by lightning calm fire. Luckily didn't do too
Speaker 6: much damage. But yeah, I'm in Texas, so you know,
Speaker 6: the weather gets crazy. It's forty degrees here right now,
Speaker 6: but you know, supposed to warm up later next week.
Speaker 2: So it is what it is.
Speaker 1: Forty Almost sounds warm me right now, but I'm whining.
Speaker 1: I complain if it's too hot. I complain if it's
Speaker 1: too cold. I mean, I got problems, as you know.
Speaker 1: Def Shapiro from gotadal dot com was sterling on the
Speaker 1: big one. All right, So here we are. We are
Speaker 1: in full on cyber week mode. You've been through Cyber Monday,
Speaker 1: You've been through the Black Friday Deal. You know, people
Speaker 1: may still have in their memory those times when people
Speaker 1: would be looking for leaked ads that you were willing
Speaker 1: and able to share with the masses, which is I
Speaker 1: think how we initially started talking. Because you would get
Speaker 1: copies of these things in one way or another, which
Speaker 1: I think a lot of these companies leaked the ads
Speaker 1: at the time. Early but it was back when people
Speaker 1: were waiting online at these stores often Thanksgiving Day, ditching
Speaker 1: out on meals, maybe even having catered meals in some
Speaker 1: cases outside of a pick a store type of scenario.
Speaker 1: But it's a different world we're living in now. How
Speaker 1: is the business now? With some retailers stocking up before
Speaker 1: some of the tariffs kicked in or before or they
Speaker 1: were changed or yanked away or were never necessarily enacted
Speaker 1: though they were talked about. Uh, because prices have been
Speaker 1: so high with inflation. A lot of different types of
Speaker 1: pressures in regard to inflation, and I'm always looking to
Speaker 1: save money. Is waiting better or no?
Speaker 6: You know, I think with the tariff situation, you know
Speaker 6: there are some issues out there, But you know, I've
Speaker 6: been monitoring the big box retailers and they've not really
Speaker 6: had too much problem with stock issues or anything. I
Speaker 6: think Walmart, Best Buy, Costco, those big retailers in your area,
Speaker 6: I think they did a pretty good job of stalking up.
Speaker 6: And I think a lot of the overseas factories we're
Speaker 6: very preemptive of sending a lot of stock here to
Speaker 6: the States. I've not seen much, but I've also too
Speaker 6: seen some of the deals that are not really there,
Speaker 6: you know. I mean there's some of like the deep
Speaker 6: cuts on the TV has not really been there this year,
Speaker 6: But on other you know items, there's been some really
Speaker 6: good deals. So it's a lot of a hit and mess.
Speaker 1: Def Shapiro from Got to Deal Tom was stirling on
Speaker 1: the big one. So what are the product sectors you mentioned?
Speaker 1: Television's electronics, that's always this sort of thing leading into
Speaker 1: say Super Bowl, which of course is a little ways
Speaker 1: away yet, but that and a lot of college hoops
Speaker 1: and just in general it's the gift given season a
Speaker 1: lot of people look to do it. So any particular
Speaker 1: product sector that seems to be the most tantalizing with
Speaker 1: deals or is that one of those that it depends
Speaker 1: on the retailer as much as it does the product sector.
Speaker 2: Depends on the retailer.
Speaker 6: And you know, as you said opening the segment up,
Speaker 6: we're in the middle Cyber Week, Cyber Monday. I think
Speaker 6: you're going to start seeing a lot more deep, deep
Speaker 6: discounts coming out next week. We got Honkkah starting in
Speaker 6: about ten days, so we got you know, our Jewish
Speaker 6: friends and relatives that are going to be celebrating that
Speaker 6: so I think a lot of the retailers are going
Speaker 6: to start slashing prices for that, and then I think
Speaker 6: the retailers are going to get panicted nervous towards the
Speaker 6: big day towards Christmas. So I think you're going to
Speaker 6: see a lot more sales coming about and coming online.
Speaker 6: And that's kind of the beauty of where we are
Speaker 6: right now in the world. Everything's so electronic, so they
Speaker 6: could just decide at the last minute to you know, hey,
Speaker 6: we're going to discount this this product line or you know,
Speaker 6: this section of products that we have. I'm like, way
Speaker 6: back in the day when you and I started, you
Speaker 6: would have to you know, plan it, print an AD
Speaker 6: and stuff like that. I think with the retailers, they're
Speaker 6: going to just you know, flip on and flip off
Speaker 6: the switch.
Speaker 1: Kind of a strange thing. Time changes everything. Talking to
Speaker 1: Desha Biro fromgodadeal dot com, so what about this thing?
Speaker 1: And when I was I work in the automotive industry
Speaker 1: a little bit too, and they were just coming into
Speaker 1: the front end at that time of sort of pricing
Speaker 1: for a marketplace, so you could see automatically what the
Speaker 1: other competitors ad and where you were and sort of
Speaker 1: find you know, that price. And now we see in
Speaker 1: other forms of retail that sometimes if they noticed that
Speaker 1: you've been looking on one device or another and they're
Speaker 1: tracking you, depending that prices may vary from me to
Speaker 1: my neighbor because of what we've bought previously in how
Speaker 1: we're shopping. How much does that play into this compared
Speaker 1: to going into the store and just seeing what's on
Speaker 1: the shelves, and so many of us are just waiting
Speaker 1: for somebody to drop it off and hope to not
Speaker 1: be victimized by a porch pirate.
Speaker 2: You know, it plays a lot.
Speaker 6: I think you know, I always tell people, and I've
Speaker 6: told people this for many years now. You know, intelligence
Speaker 6: and information is more valuable than gold. So as you're
Speaker 6: surfing the internet, on Facebook, on the socials, on the
Speaker 6: Gram and stuff like that, you know these companies are
Speaker 6: tracking you. They're tracking you know, your habits and stuff.
Speaker 6: And I think a lot of retaillers have that technology.
Speaker 6: I know Walmart does, I know target desk to where
Speaker 6: they may give you an extra discount. I'll give you
Speaker 6: a great example. There was a book on Yiddish New York.
Speaker 2: You know New York.
Speaker 6: Yiddish back in the you know, back in the day,
Speaker 6: and I've been looking at this book. It's it was
Speaker 6: in my favorites list. It went from you know, I
Speaker 6: think it went from like forty dollars to thirty and
Speaker 6: then all of a sudden, I get a message from
Speaker 6: Amazon saying, hey, I there's a fifteen dollars off coupon
Speaker 6: you need to use in the next four hours. So
Speaker 6: I was able to get that book for a very
Speaker 6: very reasonable price. But you know, these these companies, you know,
Speaker 6: collect information on you, and and you know, I always
Speaker 6: tell people that, you know, Google knows when you're sick,
Speaker 6: and knows when you have cancer and stuff like that,
Speaker 6: or when you're going to get a divorce before even
Speaker 6: your spouse does or your significant other, because everything's all
Speaker 6: on that computer and you search stuff, and you so
Speaker 6: the retailers know where the market staff and where to like,
Speaker 6: you know, take a hit on some items just to
Speaker 6: get you in there and to buy stuff.
Speaker 1: Now you're just talking to our cybersecurity expert. A little earlier,
Speaker 1: Dave had into now talking to Dev Shapiro, And it's
Speaker 1: funny how all of these type of topics in conversation
Speaker 1: that we've been touching on are somewhat interrelated. And I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to be the profit of doom dev but
Speaker 1: you said something quite interesting. So because they know what
Speaker 1: we're looking at, what we're reading, and all the things
Speaker 1: that go in with AI, they know what you're sick of,
Speaker 1: or whether you're researching because of a family member or
Speaker 1: whatever else. It's very much in our business and aware
Speaker 1: of our lifestyle situation and where we are and catering
Speaker 1: to us. On one hand, there's a benefit. But on
Speaker 1: the other hand, if they know that you're in desperate
Speaker 1: need of something, supply demand says that it has more
Speaker 1: value than they can obviously put the screws to you,
Speaker 1: rightly or wrongly. How much does that play into the
Speaker 1: retail game?
Speaker 6: That plays a lot into the retail game, because the
Speaker 6: whole thing about our retailer is they want to get
Speaker 6: you in the door, whether it be in the cyber
Speaker 6: door of surfing their website or in the door physically.
Speaker 6: And like I said, with that book on Yidish New York, yeah,
Speaker 6: I mean it's a very specialized book. But when I
Speaker 6: bought it, I also too bought a few more iems
Speaker 6: because I was like well, well I'm here. I'll just
Speaker 6: you know, put several stuff from my card and I
Speaker 6: was looking for a Stax Christmas album that I wanted,
Speaker 6: so I paid full retail for that, and there was
Speaker 6: a few other things I needed for the house. So yeah,
Speaker 6: so besides buying the Yiddish book, I got several other
Speaker 6: things that I paid almost close to full retail for.
Speaker 6: So you know, it did their job. It did the
Speaker 6: job that they wanted to.
Speaker 1: And for those who don't know, I mean, there's a
Speaker 1: whole lot of words in our regular everyday you know
Speaker 1: slang laden American lexicon of English as such that it
Speaker 1: is where there are Yiddish words that are everyday thing.
Speaker 1: So it sounds like a fantastic read. And our families
Speaker 1: are both sort of mixed up a little bit. I
Speaker 1: love Christmas, I love Hanukah, I love all the holidays
Speaker 1: in general. Pick one and I embrace it. So's it's
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. Now I'm like, man, I need to get
Speaker 1: that book.
Speaker 6: We also do have Quansa as well, and our friends
Speaker 6: that celebrate Kwansa, So you know, December is a really
Speaker 6: interesting and fun time just to celebrate everything that we
Speaker 6: we love, celebrate our friends and our family, and that's.
Speaker 2: Really what the holidays is about.
Speaker 6: And you know that's what gift giving is about too,
Speaker 6: is you know, getting something special for that friend that
Speaker 6: you know, modeor lawn when we are on vacation, or
Speaker 6: you know, our significant other or whatnot. That's what's all
Speaker 6: about here.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: I have two things here. One is we've discussed this before,
Speaker 1: the fear of missing out, and it's a powerful feeling.
Speaker 1: We are viscerally affected and controlled by our pleasure and
Speaker 1: pain and the pain associated with missing out. Whether it's
Speaker 1: that one gadget toy, whatever it is that the kids
Speaker 1: may want that we love and wanted to make happy,
Speaker 1: or whether it's that idea of missing out on the
Speaker 1: best deal. If someone's you know, obviously, if it's a
Speaker 1: limited items for some reason this season, whatever the particular
Speaker 1: toy or whatever device it is, you want to get
Speaker 1: it because if it's in short supply, then you're stuck
Speaker 1: and it's gone correct correct.
Speaker 6: But I'm not really seeing anything in short supply. It's
Speaker 6: not like the Elmo dolls or the Cavish fash dolls
Speaker 6: that our parents fought for. You know, I'm not seeing
Speaker 6: any of that short supplies. You know, I haven't seen
Speaker 6: in several years. Maybe there's that one particular toy. You know,
Speaker 6: I'm a forty six year old single guy, so I
Speaker 6: don't have kids and I don't buy for kids. But
Speaker 6: you know all of our you know, we don't have
Speaker 6: any kids in our family. But you have not seen
Speaker 6: anything in like short supply or anything like that.
Speaker 1: What do you tell someone who is of the opinion
Speaker 1: that maybe it will turn a week from now to
Speaker 1: two weeks from now, leading closer to Christmas in the
Speaker 1: midst of Hannah at that point you mentioned Kwanza even
Speaker 1: if you're just you know, against the holidays but want
Speaker 1: to save a dollar, what do you tell someone to
Speaker 1: get something now? Can you go back to a retailer
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you discounted it more. Can you get
Speaker 1: the difference or is it just you got it when
Speaker 1: you got it, so suck it up and deal with it.
Speaker 2: You know, it's you got it when you got it.
Speaker 6: So a lot of these retailers have clauses in their
Speaker 6: return policy and their price matching policy that they do not,
Speaker 6: you know, do any of that price matching during the holidays.
Speaker 2: You know, if it's.
Speaker 6: Something that you really want or you really want to
Speaker 6: give you know, whoever that gift, I would go ahead
Speaker 6: and get it pulled the trigger because that joy you're
Speaker 6: going to have given it to that person and seeing
Speaker 6: their reaction is going to stay with you for the
Speaker 6: rest of your life. But you can also too go
Speaker 6: to godideil dot com. So we have a message board
Speaker 6: there that if you're looking for a particular item, you
Speaker 6: can say, hey, I'm looking for this grill or I'm
Speaker 6: looking for a book, or looking for something, where can
Speaker 6: I find it the best price? And we have people
Speaker 6: that will jump on every day, people that will jump
Speaker 6: on and help you find that item at the good
Speaker 6: best price possible. And that's what the beauty of goodideil
Speaker 6: dot com and has been for the last twenty plus years.
Speaker 1: What have I not asked that you think is relevant
Speaker 1: to was somebody looking to find that best deals kind
Speaker 1: of scenario? Because even you may be loaded, I mean,
Speaker 1: but I always want to I want to say.
Speaker 6: Well, you know, you may be loaded, or somebody may
Speaker 6: be loaded, but some of the richest people in the
Speaker 6: world they you know, look at Warren Buffett. He goes
Speaker 6: to McDonald's and he uses coupons of McDonald's. So It's
Speaker 6: all about how you be smart with your money. But
Speaker 6: the biggest thing I've been telling friends.
Speaker 2: And families look local.
Speaker 6: You know, we talk about tariffs and stuff like that,
Speaker 6: and we've kind of talked about this in the past,
Speaker 6: but look at local, local gift shops, local businesses. They're
Speaker 6: suffering too, and they need to be able to put
Speaker 6: food on the table and close on their body. But
Speaker 6: you know there's also two. You know, your local sporting
Speaker 6: teams will have deals in their pro shops, but also
Speaker 6: two for tickets for you know, the following sporting year.
Speaker 6: Museums have a lot of great deals. You know, workout
Speaker 6: facilities like the JCC here in Dallas and a lot
Speaker 6: of the jccs around the Jewish Community centers around America
Speaker 6: that are having Cyber Week specials on discount of membership.
Speaker 6: So there's a lot you can do if you shop local.
Speaker 6: You don't have to shop at the big buck stores.
Speaker 2: Local.
Speaker 6: You know, this is how our economy runs as local businesses,
Speaker 6: and we need to keep those folks and you know
Speaker 6: in business now.
Speaker 1: I mean they are the largest employer in the engine
Speaker 1: to this economy. There is no question friends neighbors, So
Speaker 1: it's all about keeping up money moving around and whether
Speaker 1: it's restaurants or gift shops of one type or another,
Speaker 1: something specialty or even the you know, the deli or
Speaker 1: the bakery around the corner. Got a deal, said Dev
Speaker 1: Shapiro was sterling on seven hundred WLW. I want to
Speaker 1: switch gear. So I think we've covered some stuff and
Speaker 1: we've always discussed off the air about maybe doing something
Speaker 1: on the youre talking about filmfest stuff, and you travel
Speaker 1: around in the film industry in one way or another.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm curious, are you ever or have you
Speaker 1: ever made it to Cincinnati for the Cincinnati Film Fest?
Speaker 1: Are you considering this? Is it possible that you can
Speaker 1: do it twenty six?
Speaker 2: Well, that is next that is on my list next year.
Speaker 6: I mean I always wanted to come to your area
Speaker 6: for nothing but great things about your lovely city, and
Speaker 6: so that is a goal next year. And I'd love
Speaker 6: to come and to let to meet you in person.
Speaker 6: Maybe we could talk about films in person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be fantastic. Anything else I haven't asked or
Speaker 1: about film stuff. Anything you got. This is your time,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate you making it, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I just you're just a good guy, and you've always
Speaker 1: made yourself available and I have great information your good egg.
Speaker 6: But I really do appreciate it. I would say, you know,
Speaker 6: you know, just shop around. I mean, the biggest thing
Speaker 6: that I would tell people is know what you're.
Speaker 2: Going to buy. Do your research.
Speaker 6: You know, we have the Google machine and Reddit and
Speaker 6: gottideal dot com. So know what you're going to buy.
Speaker 6: Do do research on prices and you know, price history,
Speaker 6: and that's the best way you can arm yourself against
Speaker 6: getting cheated or getting scammed. Also to just you know,
Speaker 6: change your passwords to your you know, shopping accounts, making
Speaker 6: sure your credit cards are up to date on those
Speaker 6: shopping accounts. You know, just be you know, the holidays,
Speaker 6: we get in such a big rush, and this kind
Speaker 6: of goes with your cybersecurity. Guys, you'll agree with me.
Speaker 6: Just just be careful, don't click on any links you
Speaker 6: see if it's too good to be true. It is
Speaker 6: too good to be true ninety nine point nine percent times.
Speaker 6: But yeah, just keep on the lookout for deals and
Speaker 6: shop local. I am finding a lot of good deals
Speaker 6: locally on bicycles and you know, hand crafted items and
Speaker 6: stuff that you know that it's just as cool as
Speaker 6: a big screen TV. I think with all the years
Speaker 6: you and I have talked, you know, Black Friday, I
Speaker 6: think all of us have enough TVs in our house
Speaker 6: and we don't need any more TVs where we're gonna
Speaker 6: put them, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. I have a wall or two there
Speaker 1: might be open, so we'll just see exactly how that goes.
Speaker 1: Got adeal dot com you can find out more about
Speaker 1: saving and it's selling. Filmnews dot com two, which is
Speaker 1: the other site with the combination of all kinds of stuff, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we have selicfilmnews dot com where we do film
Speaker 6: reviews and we cover film festival coverage. And then we
Speaker 6: also too have seleakfilm News on YouTube where we have
Speaker 6: Larry King style sit down interviews with all of these
Speaker 6: wonderful independent filmmakers. A lot of great films came out
Speaker 6: this year and there's a lot of creative energy. There's
Speaker 6: a good sit down interview with Rippincindar for Flight one
Speaker 6: eighty two, which is a short film narrative short film
Speaker 6: about the Flight one eighty two disaster nineteen eighty five,
Speaker 6: who the filmmaker Ripping has a close Hi's family ties.
Speaker 6: It but just a lot of great stuff out there,
Speaker 6: a lot of great movies on these streaming services this
Speaker 6: holiday season, so you know, catch a movie and does
Speaker 6: not catch a movie in person, because he's theaters did
Speaker 6: your business as.
Speaker 1: Well, that's true. An that big thing of popcorn and
Speaker 1: a super sized doctor Pepper. So I have to get
Speaker 1: my own catheter as a part of it. Consis you
Speaker 1: gotta be careful. You get like a gallon of soda
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, and then you get a two
Speaker 1: and a half hour movie. It's it's tough when you
Speaker 1: get to be a guy of a certain age, don't you.
Speaker 6: It is and you say dr Pepper, you're from Texas.
Speaker 6: I mean that's a Texas drink. Dr Pepper.
Speaker 1: I mean I liked Texas, but no, I've not never
Speaker 1: yet had a chance to call it home. I appreciate
Speaker 1: you making time. We're dead out of it though, Deb
Speaker 1: Shapiro gotadeal dot com. Take care of yourself and we'll
Speaker 1: catch up again sooner than later.
Speaker 2: My man, you too, Happy holidays.
Speaker 1: Happy holidays, more Sterling coming back. Sorry I'm a little
Speaker 1: bit late. Don't hate me. Eleven't third report straight away
Speaker 1: seven hundred wlw L after along Sterling hanging out by
Speaker 1: Thursday night at Nation Station seven hundred WLW. Dan Carol
Speaker 1: often here this time, but he was a during the day,
Speaker 1: so I'm here now back again Friday night. That's tomorrow,
Speaker 1: following Crosstown shootout basketball bear Cats Musketeers at Sentas seven
Speaker 1: thirty tip off. I will follow it here. Talk to
Speaker 1: Terry Nelson, earlier basketball bear Cat broadcaster. He does a
Speaker 1: little of everything. He was there for the final four
Speaker 1: for those bear Cats in the early nineties. Always a
Speaker 1: great conversation. Listen to the podcast later about that. Dave
Speaker 1: Hatter of course cybersecurity joining Dev Shapiro looking for deals
Speaker 1: from godadeal dot com. All that after the podcast posts
Speaker 1: following the show leading into America's Truck of Network, which
Speaker 1: follows me with Kevin Gordon behind the wheel. Appreciate you
Speaker 1: being along. It's been a wild night. Anderson's raptors fell unfortunately,
Speaker 1: unless you're an Avon Eagles fan. And actually I think
Speaker 1: an eagle was actually a raptor too, right, It's a
Speaker 1: different type of killer bird. I know that my mother
Speaker 1: is watching multiple eagles nests now in Australia as well
Speaker 1: as here in the United States. As these birds either
Speaker 1: taking care of babies or otherwise. But Avon thirty seven,
Speaker 1: Anderson twenty and just an incredible year all the way
Speaker 1: around for Anderson as well. But the congratulations to Avon
Speaker 1: for doing what they did tonight Saint X and all
Speaker 1: in Tangy Orange tomorrow night looking for Ohio State High
Speaker 1: school football championship that starts earlier. So what have results
Speaker 1: for that if not during the crossdown shootouts? Certainly following
Speaker 1: what else tonight? Oh Thursday night football, Cowboys fall thirty
Speaker 1: forty four, Lions all over them up in Destois or Detroit,
Speaker 1: depending But it was a French name, Dytoa, That's what
Speaker 1: they called it. Just so you know, not that I'm
Speaker 1: like mister French, although I did take French in high
Speaker 1: school at one of my five high schools, and I
Speaker 1: did not retain much. What I have you can't really
Speaker 1: say openly because it's probably bad words. I just know
Speaker 1: that my French teacher was mochen Hot and I was
Speaker 1: distracted way too much.
Speaker 2: Either way.
Speaker 1: Lions now seven and five and Cowboys I think six
Speaker 1: and five, so a great game earlier if they had
Speaker 1: a chance to check that out. Let's see what else.
Speaker 1: Oh uh, I want to. You know, there's always talk,
Speaker 1: I mean, the wonder our Olympics are coming up, and
Speaker 1: I am always interested in the new sports, the new activities,
Speaker 1: the new endeavors of competition that are brought into the fold,
Speaker 1: often their exhibition sports or activities or competitions, and then
Speaker 1: the ones that are really successful they sort of bring
Speaker 1: into the fold. They did that with snowboarding and a
Speaker 1: lot of other stuff in relation to that too. I
Speaker 1: don't know that this will ever get there, but I
Speaker 1: am enamored by this. I have never heard of this
Speaker 1: what I'm about to tell you, and I find it
Speaker 1: interesting beyond no compare. I like the water, I like
Speaker 1: the sea, I like the I like to eat fish.
Speaker 1: I like to scuba dive. I've gone diving and actually
Speaker 1: caught my own lobster who grabbed it actually, which seemed
Speaker 1: really weird, but it was tasty after, so you know,
Speaker 1: that's the way it goes. And done some fishing that
Speaker 1: way as well. This is wild chess event underground. A
Speaker 1: guy by the name of Neeman. He's an American and
Speaker 1: his name's Hans Neeman. He yesterday won the underwater chess
Speaker 1: exhibition at the freestyle Chess Grand Slam Finals in Cape Town,
Speaker 1: South Africa, where the world's top tier players have gathered
Speaker 1: before this big event. They call it diving chess. It
Speaker 1: was created or devised at some point. I'm sure someone
Speaker 1: had done it someplace else at some time, but back
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve by an inventor by the name of
Speaker 1: ETN Illfield or Illfeld in London, who is the guy
Speaker 1: behind mind Sports Olympiad apparently, and this is from Reuters.
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of different events or whatever else. Now,
Speaker 1: if you've done some swimming, whether it's in the summertime,
Speaker 1: or maybe you go to the y or belong to
Speaker 1: a club, or you got an indoor pool, some high
Speaker 1: schools certainly do. I have friends that have been competitive
Speaker 1: swimmers and so forth. I remember going to a lore
Speaker 1: center and Dayton when I was a kid coming up,
Speaker 1: hanging out with my cousins, and we would throw coins,
Speaker 1: and they had these other weighted items they would toss
Speaker 1: into the pool, and then we would spend time going
Speaker 1: down and retrieving them and trying not to get stuck
Speaker 1: in the drain, which occasionally hear horrible stories about. It
Speaker 1: never occurred to me that I would play a board
Speaker 1: game under the water in the pool. I kind of
Speaker 1: see this as maybe being a pay per view event.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I may be kind of crazy, but
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of like all the other things, it could
Speaker 1: be brought into the fold that you could do underwater.
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of people got married underwater.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 1: They used to have the idea a couple of locations
Speaker 1: they You even do a search on YouTube or whatever
Speaker 1: old films of the people with these hotels where you
Speaker 1: would be underwater in an area where obviously there was
Speaker 1: air that was enclosed, but you could get out and
Speaker 1: do other stuff, and you'd see people do things. This
Speaker 1: is wild. There is a raining World Diving Chess Champion
Speaker 1: by the name of mcl Masquerades. It was there but
Speaker 1: only as an advisor in the midst of this. If
Speaker 1: these guys were playing chess matches can take a long time,
Speaker 1: my guess is they were able to like dive down.
Speaker 1: Because I haven't seen the video, I've just seen still
Speaker 1: photos of this. You see the chess board with the
Speaker 1: timer like clicker on the floor the bottom of the
Speaker 1: pool and someone just diving down. They make their move.
Speaker 1: I guess they come up, get air. The next player
Speaker 1: comes down, and I'm guessing they give them maybe a
Speaker 1: little bit more time to sort of figure it out.
Speaker 1: But players from all over the world. Is Bekastan, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's an odd place, but from there in India and
Speaker 1: a bunch of other places, Germany and so forth, or
Speaker 1: into this. So perhaps there's a future in underwater chess.
Speaker 1: When I went to write State, I took rocks for
Speaker 1: Jocks who was geology. I had a choice of the sciences.
Speaker 1: I could have taken biology or chemistry, but I'd done
Speaker 1: that in high school. I went for the underwater basket
Speaker 1: weaving that was one of mine in radio and then
Speaker 1: some other stuff. But it never occurred to me that
Speaker 1: you could do chess underwater. That's pretty wild. I'm just
Speaker 1: wondering would that be something you'd watch? And I would
Speaker 1: imagine you could wager on that. I mean, you can
Speaker 1: bet on all sorts of stuff. I don't know how
Speaker 1: above board all of it is. And you know, you
Speaker 1: hear about all these corruption of different things in one
Speaker 1: type or another, But I mean, I find this oddly
Speaker 1: interesting in gauwker type of like the behavior and so forth,
Speaker 1: compared to some of the other stuff that's out there.
Speaker 1: This is good. You can you know, you can wager
Speaker 1: on like table tennis, don't call it ping pong. The
Speaker 1: table tennis players of the world that are serious about
Speaker 1: this don't like it when you somehow like lower it
Speaker 1: to a level of what we may do in our
Speaker 1: basement or maybe in like you know, the garage or
Speaker 1: whatever else that you if you're into the ping pong,
Speaker 1: or at least you call it the ping pong, they
Speaker 1: frown on that. They think it's somehow demeaning or somehow
Speaker 1: not top notch. I mean, I could play checkers maybe competitively.
Speaker 1: Chess not so much. I mean in multi layered chess anyway,
Speaker 1: not for me, but regular chess maybe I could get by.
Speaker 1: But then you got to hold your breath and you've
Speaker 1: got to maintain your you know, your level, to stay
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the pool, make the move and
Speaker 1: come back up, and keep it all in your head.
Speaker 1: A lot of different wheels moving all at the same time,
Speaker 1: which seems maybe a little bit beyond my capabilities. But
Speaker 1: maybe there could be a future in it. Could be
Speaker 1: it could be one of those trial sports exhibitions in future,
Speaker 1: if they were ever going to bring it into it,
Speaker 1: and apparently they already have the Chess end of it altogether.
Speaker 1: So there is that at Sterling Radio one X. If
Speaker 1: you want to get interactive, you can certainly do that.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the movie it? I know there's like
Speaker 1: what is a dairy deal or whatever? I think, I
Speaker 1: don't know, one of the streaming things. I know it's
Speaker 1: in my list now. It's like an episodic thing about
Speaker 1: that whole thing that started out as a Stephen King
Speaker 1: novel if I'm not mistaken, and then has gone into
Speaker 1: multiple iterations. Subsequently, there's a guy who was convicted of
Speaker 1: wearing a clown mask, which creeps a lot of people
Speaker 1: out for a whole host of reasons. Crown clowns are
Speaker 1: generally just creepy and make me uncomfortable and unnerved in general.
Speaker 1: And it might go back to my time going to
Speaker 1: the circus as a kid and having them like run
Speaker 1: up on me in my grill, in my face, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, you need to get away. And you see
Speaker 1: kids sometimes and they get in that close proximity. Things
Speaker 1: are way different in the way you interact. And this
Speaker 1: story out of Albany, New York, or at least nearby
Speaker 1: All County, not far from where the Bengals will be
Speaker 1: playing the Bills sooner than not in Buffalo, much shorter
Speaker 1: drive than here. There's a guy thirty five years old
Speaker 1: who was found guilty of first degree menacing, third degree
Speaker 1: criminal possession of a weapon going back to the first
Speaker 1: of May. He was sentenced for February sixth, apparently is
Speaker 1: when that hearing is going to be. We'll see how
Speaker 1: long he goes away, could be up to seven years.
Speaker 1: In the lock up, he had a chainsaw and he
Speaker 1: was wearing a clown mask, which is just creepy and
Speaker 1: uncomfortable and apparently was menacing people, very threatening and involved
Speaker 1: in some type of near fisticuff's kind of engagement with
Speaker 1: somebody else. He wore that to clown mask. He had
Speaker 1: a football jersey on in a red chainsaw in the
Speaker 1: middle of the afternoon, which apparently he was engaging people
Speaker 1: or people were like, hey, dude, what are you doing.
Speaker 1: He also apparently supposedly had metal knuckles in some other stuff,
Speaker 1: which is pretty disturbing, and took off the plastic sheath
Speaker 1: from one of a better way to describe it, off
Speaker 1: of the blade of the chainsaw and then you know,
Speaker 1: it was quite threatening, and if you've ever worked with
Speaker 1: the chainsaw, you know it does quick work of like
Speaker 1: trees and stumps and stuff like that. My guess is,
Speaker 1: you know, wielding that in general is not a good idea.
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember it wasn't that long ago. It
Speaker 1: was like a pitchfork that was used in crime somewhere
Speaker 1: in the Try State. I remember talking about it, and
Speaker 1: then there was somebody else that had like a machete.
Speaker 1: And occasionally you hear about these lunatics that use these
Speaker 1: old school weapons to engage each other. You know, knifings
Speaker 1: are back too, people getting stabbed, But you don't hear
Speaker 1: much about the way of clowns carrying chainsaws, thankfully, because
Speaker 1: sleeping is hard enough to dream about a creepy clown
Speaker 1: with the chain saw chasing people through the streets. Better
Speaker 1: in New York than here, and certainly better the guys
Speaker 1: locked up and looking to go away for at least
Speaker 1: two years, but could go away for much longer than that.
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty wild. That's all I have to say
Speaker 1: about that. Straight away, your a midnight report. We'll see
Speaker 1: if it's another tandem tag team news event. Travis Laird,
Speaker 1: maybe Lee Mallen. I don't know who's got next. Maybe
Speaker 1: they'll do it together as they did just at the
Speaker 1: top of the or the bottom of the hour following
Speaker 1: the news. You know Joe Waddell is gonna keep us
Speaker 1: on time and online. Appreciate his help. Then you get
Speaker 1: to Kevin Gordon, an America's truck and network warmed up,
Speaker 1: ready to roll after midnight. I'm sterling back again tomorrow
Speaker 1: following Crosstown shootout Bearcats Musketeers. Right here tip off seven
Speaker 1: point thirty Nation Station or the Who Day plays Sunday
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati
