Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
All right, back with Eddy and Rocky.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Rock.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
The beat goes on with our invasion of Venezuela. And
we heard speaker with Johnson saying there's no boots on
the ground there. YadA, YadA, YadA, this that and the other,
and what it leaves Americans wondering what the possibilities are

(00:31):
and uh and the pros and cons of all of it.
That's that's happening. Yeah, lots of.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
You know, lots of questions about you know, a lot
of folks are saying we should do this, do that. Here,
take it in. I got we're dealing with a faulty
microphone here. All right, that's fine, go ahead, buddy. And
well let's get our guest here. He is an expert
in polysci. He is a polysi PhD for Yale. He

(01:01):
teaches at Charlton State University in Texas. Doctor Bocabala, welcome
back to the program.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Hey, good afternoon, great to be with you. Thanks for
having me.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
So what are we looking at here? Let's talk about
the pros and the cons both way of this of
this thing. As a police scientist, what do you see
the possibilities of all this are? I mean, the good
things to come out of it. And look, I was
saying in the bad things, do we look bad in
the world's lide, because a lot of people are saying that,

(01:35):
let's put it. Let me just start with that.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Well, in terms of pros and cons, I agree with you.
So on the pro side, spectacularly successful operation from a
military standpoint, no American casualties.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Compare that with Panama.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
In nineteen eighty nine, the US extras Noriega twenty four casualties,
and so you know, two hundred million tons of coke
going through Venezuela annually, So we put a dent in that.
On the con side, you know, is there a risk
of boots on the ground. I always want to guard
against that. Is there the risk of negative perception? I mean,

(02:12):
I think there are different rationales being floated around for
what happened.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Some are better than others.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
So certainly there's some real risks here as well.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
So let me ask you this.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
It seems to me, I mean, if I'm not mistaken,
Venezuela even told Maduro that were there, they weren't going
to offer him any protection, right, like you're kind of
on your own here?

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Is that correct?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (02:34):
So there was an offer from President Trump the American
government for you know, for him to leave peacefully, and
apparently he wasn't too interested in that.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
So we've seen events unfold. That's right.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
So I mean, how I look at this, and obviously
I could be wrong. I am certainly not for a
nation building. I'm not for long drawn out excursions and
require ground truths. But this, it's just certainly right now
doesn't seem to be the case at all. We went
in there and we're there for about a half hour,
extracted this guy that everybody in Venezuela, and I mean

(03:08):
meeting the citizens did not want board him out of there.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
No casualties, no equipment left behind.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Boom boom ban, We're out and if everything holds there,
this is a guy like a wonderful thing, not just
for certainly the Venezuelan people, but also America.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
Yes, well, you have celebrations in the streets in Caracas.
To be clear, the Nobel Peace Prize winner in Venezuela,
Maria Machudo, over the last few months saying these are
hopeful developments. So I mean, let's be clear, Maduro stole
the presidential election in twenty twenty four. Matchudo was exiled
and unable to run. The candidate who did run in

(03:48):
her place actually defeated Maduro, but the results were falsified.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
So there's a lot of positive here if I'm seeing you.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
And I think President Trump has been sensitive to the
democracy building temptation and he ran against neocons who were
into that, so I think he would be very against
that kind of project.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
So so let me ask you this, what what is
Venezuela's relationship with China? Because to me that that's the
only way I could see this escalating. What what is
that relationship and what do you see that the chances
there are.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
Well, And I think it was a different kind of relationship,
and really legal considerations aside, because you know, there's again
different rationales floating around, but separate from all those, I
think was the national security rationale here that applied differently
from Colombia, from Mexico, where arguably you have more drugs

(04:45):
going through. But Venezuela stands out out of all those
countries because they were providing and opening to Russia, they
were providing and opening to China, and you know some
of so I think the national security piece of that
is that now, how it'll be harder for Russia and
China to project influence into the Western hemisphere, undermining the

(05:06):
Monroe doctrine.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
And I think this was almost the more important piece
of what's happened.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
Leave aside the different possible legal rationales. This was asserting
American interests in the Western hemisphere. Consistent with realism philosophy
of international relations. It says nations do also have to
watch out for their interests.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Doctor Bocabala is our guest, and bo, what about some
people are saying, Okay, does this open the door for
China to go ahead and waltst into Taiwan? Is what
is there anything to that? Well?

Speaker 5 (05:40):
And and sure in terms of you know, risks and
cons that we started talking about, I mean, I don't
believe this is President Trump or his inner circle.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Are there some intellectuals.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
On the right, and I disagree with them who would
welcome any opening to real imperialism. They've they'd liked to
see a military takeover of Greenland. Again, I don't believe
that's President Trump or anybody in his circle. But we
know there's some voices out there, and there's all kinds
of voices on university campuses saying many different things. So

(06:13):
my hope is that they don't get amplified. And you know,
even Steve Sailor, a very conservative Trump supporter, said that's
lunacy to talk about taking over countries militarily. Now could
China that's you know, determined at some point attack Taiwan
interpret these events to say America is being.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Imperialist and will assert our.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
New I think they'll go ahead and do that, So
we have to be vigilant and sort of know exactly
what we are and aren't willing to do.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
So I think you're absolutely right. The caution is in
order there.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Doctor Bocobol, as our guest. So doctor, let let's talk
about oil here. And from what I have heard, Venezuela
holds over three hundred billion barrels of oil. It's like
seventeen percent of the globe. Will supply they're not doing
anything with it, right, Can we get some of that
and what's the what's the protocol there?

Speaker 3 (07:08):
You think sure?

Speaker 5 (07:10):
And it's a specific type of crude, so I think
it would be very valuable in your right.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
These are the largest reserves in the world.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
Absolutely the case under Maduro, first of all, it wasn't
really being extracted. Second of all, what was being extracted,
you know, the proceeds, the benefits were not really going
to the Venezuelan people. So it's a it's a yeah,
it's a it's a conundrum in some ways, if American
companies facilitate the extraction, what's in it for the Venezuelan

(07:41):
you know, people who should come first? What's in it
for American companies who are facilitating the extraction. That these
are delicate questions. I think there's got to be some
back and forth and a conversation. But you know, to
see people celebrating in Caracas and Venezuela sensing just over

(08:01):
these last many years that wealth was not going to
the people at all, I think is really striking to
many observers right now.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
Could I not make the case that, look, Venezuelan people,
we just disposed a ruthless dictator from you, and won't you,
you know, repay us a little bit?

Speaker 3 (08:22):
I think that seems fair.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
I think the reciprocity you're mentioning absolutely, and look, it's
not a quick pro quo, but it's recognizing there's something
of reciprocity.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
I mean, one thing, President Trump, I.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
Think very insightfully would always say about the Neocon the misguided,
in my opinion, Neo kan.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Interventions into the Middle East.

Speaker 5 (08:40):
It doesn't seem like there was any resource benefit that
accrued to the US from the reserves of oil that
are there, So of course that's not the primary consideration.
And you know, deposing a despot, you know, punching back
against narco terrorism, those come first as strategic goals. But
I do think his administration will want to handle this

(09:02):
differently than what happened in.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Iraq, for sure, with a little more of the kind
of reciprocity that you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Long term, what do you see happening here.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
Well, it's interesting to me to compare this case to Panama.
You just go back to nineteen eighty nine, and of
course the US extracts Manuel nor Diega similar situation legally,
and so there wasn't a congressional declaration of war in
either case. Today, Panama is an existing, functioning, constitutional democracy,

(09:34):
so I think the outcome could be very positive. There's
a transition which is always fraught with peril, and ensuring
safety and security in the short term is a priority.
But I could see I mean, there's a range of outcomes.
Like you said, there's possible cons We don't want to
go in and attempt to quote unquote build democracy, but

(09:55):
comparing this to Panama, it.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Could be a very positive outcome in my opinion.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Trick ball, let me say this and you tell me
if you agree or disagree the stat that was it
ninety percent of Democrats disagree with with us going in
and having the operation of Venezuela. I would make the
case that has nothing to do with the operation. It's
the fact it was Trump. It has just just add
in anything you wanted at Trump cures cancer. Ninety percent

(10:22):
of Democrats would would disagree with that.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Correct, It has nothing to do with Venezuela and the operation.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
It's just the fact that he did it, and they
have TDS and they don't like it.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
I think you're right, we're polarized. That's not just a ceiling.

Speaker 5 (10:34):
There's ways to measure, you know, how far apart we
are as citizens, and it's unfortunate that we are polarized.
And so, you know, did Bill Clinton, you know, look
out for you know, American interests around the world. All
presidents on some level have to do this, and I
think you are seeing some of that part is in alignment.

(10:55):
It's an opportunity I think for the president to use
the bully pulpit to you know, not just the too
that there's people who will never listen to him, but
kind of go through Look this was the rationale and
so but I agree that's that's unfortunately where we are,
and we can work to engage more.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Hopefully I might be naive there, but that would be
my hope.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
All right, with that, doctor Kabbala, we will let you go.
Thanks so much for talking to us.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Hey, wonderful to talk to you. Appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Thank you, Doctor Bo Kabbala, Charles State University in Texas.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
You know, he says no quid pro quo with okay,
we get get maduro there, you give us some oil.
But it's like, you know, like if you go and
buy yourself something and come home with it, and you know,
you use your pressure get something for your wife, there's
no no expectation, no you know, quid pro quote.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
But it's just probably the right thing to. Of course,
what do you think you're a man. It's a husband.
It's nice to that's why you do it. So I
never never bought something nice for my wife without thinking,
oh man, come eleven here come so exactly there you go.

Speaker 15 (23:33):
Right.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
So I'm telling you real quick, So how many times
have you screwed up writing twenty twenty five instead of
twenty twenty six?

Speaker 16 (23:40):
Yet I've had to think about it. I haven't had
to write it because who writes checks anymore. I had
to think about, like, is it twenty twenty five or
is it twenty twenty. It's kind of sad to have
to admit that, but true.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
That's what Rocky and I were talking about yesterday. Since
I don't write chexts anymore, it really does. I'm like,
for like the last six months, I was like, is
it Wait a minute, is it twenty twenty? It's the twenties.

Speaker 16 (24:07):
I've looked at my phone a few times. It's just
double chest and that's also embarrassing, but true.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
So let's talk about a serious thing here right quick.
You got a you got a kind of a breaking
news story.

Speaker 16 (24:20):
Well necessarily breaking, but I think a really high interest.
I don't know, yeah, so like we could go today.
The bodies of Monique and Spencer Tappy were found in
their home in Columbus. Spencer grew up in Cincinnati, went
to Mason High School, then went to Highest Day because
I came a Jennis Mary the love with life. And

(24:42):
they have two children, little kids, four and one, and
looking like they certainly look like they are living the
most beautiful life. Very you know, great looking people. They're
from all accounts, the most lovely human beings and they're
found murdered in their home. Their kids are fine, they
were not not harmed, but the parents murdered, shot to

(25:04):
death inside their house in Columbus, And so the question
is what's going on there. So, as I mentioned, Spencer
grew up in Maidson his sister here, and his sister's
a husband. His name is Rob Misla sat down and
talked to me at length today about, you know, the people,
what's happened to their family, what's happened, you know, what
happened in Columbus, and how the kids are doing and

(25:27):
everything it is. I gotta tell you it's been a
I can't imagine what the family is going through. Please
do not think I'm feeling hard for myself, but it's
a heavy day when you're talking to someone who is
going through so much incredible grief, and my heart is
just breaking for this family and they want answers. Of course,
you know, they're hoping that there's this now someone in

(25:47):
a video Columbus police have released. But he talked to
at length about these two people, Monique and Spencer, and
what hate human beings they were. They were like, you
know those people who are just magnetic. People are just
deeply attracted to You meet them and you instantly feel
comfortable with them, Like that's who they were. And every
gathering was at their house. Every time they all got together,

(26:09):
it was with them, and they would bring you know,
they would bring all types of people together, and they
were just this kind of glue for their whole family.
And the fact that they, you know, are dead and
so mysteriously is just it's just confounding for them and
of course awful too.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
So in terms of the reasons and suspects and all that.
Where we at on them so right.

Speaker 16 (26:34):
Now, I mean, Columbus police aren't saying much of anything.
As I mentioned, they released a video of a guy
walking kind of like looks like in an alleyway between
the homes around the same time these people were murdered.
But that's it. That's all we got. We you know,

(26:55):
we see this person walking by, you can see it's
our website. We'll have in our story tonight. But it's
I don't know, it's because like I look at that
video and I'm like, I'm a who that could be
like ninety percent of America, you know, it's who is
that guy? So I hope that they have more, certainly
more than they're telling us. There there was no weapons

(27:15):
found in the home. There was no breaking and entering
sort of situation, so Field, you know, I asked him
about that and he said, it feels like this was targeted.
This was personal, you know, that someone seemed to know
them and did this. Do they know that? For sure

(27:35):
they don't, but at least from a family perspective, that's
the feeling that they get.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Were they robbed, because that's one thing I haven't read now,
Were they robbed or anything? Of nothing?

Speaker 16 (27:46):
Nothing seems to be missing. Weird, nothing seems to be missing.
Have you seen pictures of this.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
Couple I have, Like you said, just beautiful, look like
great life, the whole deal.

Speaker 16 (27:56):
Yeah, yeah, like you know, like I guess, Spencer Tie
was involved with big brothers, big sisters, you know, donated
a lot of their time. They were you know, they
were they were those people, those people that you're happy
to know. You're happy they're in your lives, you know,
because they make your life better. And apparently his patients
all loved him. She was a day at home mom,
you know, taking care of the two kids. You know,

(28:18):
you got a four year old and one year old
who are never going to know their parents. I mean,
imagine we all have kids. That's that's just something you
don't want to imagine. You don't want to have to,
you know, think about that kind of thing. But I
did ask about the kids, and he talked about how
they're doing, you know, and so that'll be in our
story tonight. It's you can't of course, none of us

(28:43):
want to imagine what that must be like, not just
for the kids. But this changes everything. So now who's
going to raise these kids? Where you know, what's going
to happen to these kids, and what kind of questions?
You know, he were saying that the four year old's like,
I want to go see my mom and dad while
they're in heaven. Okay, I want to go to heaven
because I don't.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
Even understand, right, Yeah, well.

Speaker 16 (29:04):
They don't comprehend. They can't yet.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Well that's what it sounds awful to say, but I
hope you get what I mean by this, that it's
it's almost good that they're too young to understand exactly
what just happened here, You know what I mean? Right,
You know that's awful to say, but it's it's it's true.

Speaker 16 (29:24):
Well, I personally agree with you, and as far as
I can tell, I don't have one hundred percent clarity
on this, But as far as I can tell, they
also while they were in that home with their parents
dead in their bedroom, I don't believe that they witnessed anything, right,

(29:44):
which I and I don't. Again, I don't have that
at one hundred percent clarity, but I don't. But that's
the inclination I get is that that they, thank God,
you know, won't have that memory. So who killed these people?

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Who would do that?

Speaker 16 (29:58):
I don't know? And so you know, but wait, you
see this, it's really very it's very poignant what he
says about these the fIF couple and these kids.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
And how long ago? Where who? Which which which way?
Was the guy that was living in Mason? Correct, that's where.

Speaker 16 (30:16):
Center Spencer Keffy grew up in Mason. I think he
graduated like two thousands, okay then or something like that,
and then he went on to O higher state and
then he stayed in Columbus's like so many people do,
they stay where they go to college.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
So he stayed in Columbus.

Speaker 16 (30:32):
And they were living there in Columbus, living what seemed
like an idyllic life.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
I mean the fact that nothing was stolen. You know,
then you you hate the things, but you know, was
there some sort of you know, business dealing or something
you know, I don't know, you know, it just doesn't
make sense to just walking into a nice person's house
and shoot him and leave without taking anything unless that
person felt wronged at some point.

Speaker 16 (30:56):
And how did you get into the house, like you know,
or did you know how to get into the house.
That's why to me, again, I'm making a supposition here,
not anyone else. It just feels like this is personal.
I think to them it feels like it's personal too,
that they this is someone they know or someone who
knew them in some capacity. Because there is no struggle.

(31:19):
There's no lot that I'm aware of anyway, I don't
know of any struggle. But there was no breaking and entering,
there was no nothing like that. And by the way,
so this young couple got married to two thousand and
one at their home. We have video of their weddings.

Speaker 6 (31:34):
At their home.

Speaker 16 (31:34):
It's just post COVID, so you know, they were try
and keep it small. And that's the same place they
were murdered in their home, and I just it's just
so tragic to me, like, just what the heck happened here?

Speaker 3 (31:48):
All right? What Tanya? When's this going to air tonight?

Speaker 16 (31:52):
Well we have a little bit of five, but really

And of course you know she got her knee hit
by Jeff turned to me, Jeff Galuli, right, was not

Speaker 3 (35:37):
That was well, he arranged it all.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
Forget that, that's right, yeah, hit man, Yeah yeah, hit
her in the nee of the baton, and that was
supposed to erase her from the competition so Tanya Harding
could win. And that that, of course, though, led to
far away the highest viewing numbers of women's figure skating
in Olympic history, in a scenario that if you tried

(36:03):
to explain that, you know it just like my son
who's twelve.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
That what happened, right, It was just.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
The most bizarre, craziest thing ever. But I mean that
was the biggest news ever.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
Are you kidding? For weeks and all up until the Olympics. Well,
think about the when they showed the I've known what
it was that the Olympics though, when they had the
big showdown or was that I forget where Tanya where
Tanya and her laces broke and she's crying at the Olympics.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
That was the comps, right yeah, and yeah then yeah,
because this was the US qualifiers, right yeah, okay, so yeah,
so then the Olympics come and okay, here it is
Tanya harding the weight of this trial and all this stuff.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
And yeah, she starts your deal and starts crying. You're like,
oh my god, she's the weight of the whole thing.
Is just broken her. No, her, she couldn't lace of
her skates or something that your string broke. And then
and Kargen wound up getting silver, and uh, you know,
and these are the things I remember. I can't remember

(37:09):
what I did yesterday, but I remember the woman who
won it, Sanna Bayel did not use a computer for that.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
I just know that seeing it as I mean, I
remember that name, but I didn't. I couldn't have told
you that was that year she won.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Oxana Bayo got first, Nancy Careen got second, and then
she of course thought she got screwed. Of course it
further led to her a disdain for her.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
Well, look, if you're looking for a movie to watch sometime,
watch and you've seen it. I've not seen it. I
thought you did. No, I I should.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
It's one of those ones I should when it's got
Margot Robbie, which kind of.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
What I'm saying. It's Marcot Robbie. For God's sake, I know,
she tany Hary. Don't look like they uggered down a
little bit. Okay, you dirted her up a little bit, Yeah,
a little. But everybody else in the movie is outstanding.
It's and it's and it's kind of funny nice, but
I mean every because everybody's made to look like a
fool because they basically were. That's the reason they got

(38:06):
so easily busted.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
Yeah, but it was such a like Keystone Cop operation, right,
you know.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
And and yeah, Sean Eckert was the uh, the fat
guy he did, I mean, and that guy in the movie.
You have to see it. They make it, I mean,
and apparently from everything I read about it, that guy
kind of thought he was a mafioso slash you know.
Yeah he created yeah, right, and uh he took we're

(38:37):
in the trench coat and all that stuff and whack whack,
and here here's more of the story.

Speaker 4 (38:44):
On December twenty eighth of ninety three, Yeah, I guess
the guy went to Massachusetts where Krigan was practicing. However,
he couldn't carry out the attack, so he followed her
Detroit where then it you know, probably got the courage
to do it. So yeah, and then yeah, so yeah,
Derek Smith was involved. He then confessed the FBI agent

(39:07):
started da da da, and that's what broke the whole
case open.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
See now, and this was these people were reheard more
practicing for the National Championships. Do you think that the
security could be a little just a little tighter that
some dude, some big fat guy and a trench coat
can't wander around back there kind of looking suspicious.

Speaker 4 (39:30):
Yeah, back in the catacombs of some old ice drink. Yeah,
with a bunch of teenage girls and you know, yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:36):

that there'd be somebody back there kind of policing the area. Nope, whack.

stem from two separate incidents. The first accused him of
driving recklessly on Fourth Street over the summer, and then
on September fourteenth, after the Bengals home opener against the Jaguars,

(43:42):
he was caught by Cincinnati police street racing along Joe
knuxall Way. Taylor Britt has now pled guilty to reckless
driving and operating a vehicle on a suspended license. He

Well, I'm proud of what it did for me and
the business, yes, music in general, but I'm not really
aware of how much it changed. They say that it
changed everything because of the massive sales Foot not a

time for a couple of years there and not even

don't think Venezuela. There's a lot of ins and outs
as far as this goes.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
But one of the things that's coming out of it is,
and it's true. Is it in the world Venezuela the
biggest oil reserves. Is that not correct? It's like seventeen
percent of the oil reserves. There is three hundred billion barrels.
It's a lot of oil. Now it might look good
over here in America. We will talk to an oil

(46:49):
expert in that Ray Travigno, he runs Peiko's Country Energy.
Our good friend RT welcome back to the program.

Speaker 15 (46:59):
Oh well, thank you as for having me back on. Yes,
I was just in a meeting about that exact thing,
about the exact reserves that Venezuela has, and no one
still knows the exact numbers, but it could be up
to twenty five percent of the world's global supply could
be in Venezuela alone.

Speaker 4 (47:19):
Wow, So what would that do to the market that
oil is sitting there? It's you know, I mean, I
imagine US is going to get some of it or
someone's going to what's that just going to do the
oil market?

Speaker 15 (47:32):
Well, from a good old fashioned economics one oh one
supply and demand, it will obviously continue to flood the market. However,
at this time, Venezuela's oil is not ready for prime
time as like as they used to say for the
nineteen seventy six Indy Night Live show. It's going to

(47:53):
take somewhere between six to eighteen months to revamp the
infrastructure that was horrifically destroyed by individuals that had no
business producing.

Speaker 6 (48:05):
Oil in Venezuela.

Speaker 15 (48:07):
And that's going to be step number one.

Speaker 4 (48:10):
So explain them more so, people extracted the oil, but
they did it in a way or it's not pure.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
Explain that more.

Speaker 15 (48:17):
Yes, what we had was we had individuals that did
not know oil and gas producing oil and gas out
of Venezuela. They did not have the memes nor the
no how And you look at what they did was
they actually kicked out the experts like Exxon Mobile and

(48:38):
almost forced a very little presence of Chevron over the
last several years, and their infrastructure did nothing but deteriorate
during that time in Venezuela since they did not have
experts there maintaining their equipment.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
So rte are we talking about the methodology they used,
because I know we've talked to you about different how
now oil You know, rigs don't go just straight down,
they go down and off to the side and all
that kind of stuff, And yeah, is that what we're
talking about here or they just if that as well
as the uh, the equipment they're using all just deteriorated.

(49:16):
I mean, it sounds like it's just a mess down there.
It is.

Speaker 15 (49:19):
It is a mess down there. It is an estimated
fifty minimum fifty billion dollars that's with a B billion
dollars to fix the infrastructure. So good, that are different
unless you've got a couple of family offices involved exxons
of the world and the shutrounds of the world are
the only ones that are going to be able to

(49:41):
financially go down there and get this thing fixed. From
a financial standpoint, they'll estimate each one of those companies
is going to do ten to fifteen billion dollars a
year over the next five years each.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
So, but the oil they have in reserves, is it
is it usable or is it junk?

Speaker 2 (49:59):
No?

Speaker 15 (49:59):
No, know, Absolutely those barrels of oil are usable, okay,
and we will get them out. The question is how
and when?

Speaker 3 (50:08):
Okay? And what do you see? I guess if you can,
what is your opinion on on.

Speaker 4 (50:13):
The US you know, confiscating that oil for lack of
a better term, or or or what do you what
do you feel about that?

Speaker 15 (50:21):
Well, technically I would have to say, I think if
we look at the red tape, I don't believe the
United States of America has confiscated the oil. I think
what they're doing is they're selling back land assets and
ownership of oil that used to be there's until the

(50:43):
communism regimes of Venezuela kicked them out and took over
the land in oil. However, that being said, we do
we have confiscated several tankers from Venezuela, and the rumor
is those are on the Texas border all right, on
the Texas Gulf coast. But as far as actual confiscating oil,

(51:06):
I don't see a United States nationalizing any oil anytime soon.
What I'm excited about is being able to see capitalism
really be able to show its amazing positivities in a
country like Venezuela once again.

Speaker 4 (51:21):
Okay, but do you think that the net result of
all this and okay, let's say our Maduro's out now,
it's a more pure form of business and operations are
happening exton. Some of these beer companies come in, clean
that up. Will that be a net positive in terms
of lower gas prices in America?

Speaker 3 (51:41):
Because look, that's what most people care about, right.

Speaker 4 (51:43):
Is this gonna net in the fact that our gas
is gonna be lower here?

Speaker 15 (51:48):
Yes, what's gonna happen is we will have more barrels
of oil on record for the global supply. What I
mean by that is the Maduro regime, along with Russia
in China and some other bad actors, have been using
a ghost fleet of oil tankers for several years now,

(52:08):
moving millions of barrels of oil across the globe and
that oil is not on our register. So that means
once this oil gets to the global supply counts, we
will see prices of oil continue to drop just by
adding more supply to the actual numbers.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
And what about you as an American oil guy, right,
is it going to affect your business at all?

Speaker 15 (52:37):
You know, we are proud to say that we will
continue to produce American oil from American soil as long
as we can. And in order for us to do that,
we have to maintain low operational expenses, be able to
negotiate and continue to negotiate good least terms with our
mineral owners, and continue to produce oil and prove in

(53:00):
the fields of production over the next eighteen to twenty
four months while we're at these oil prices. And most importantly,
we need to be able to talk to not only
other family offices that we work with, but our investors
that are outside of the family office network and let
them know, hey, we price oil projects at the current

(53:23):
price of oil and not these what ifs. We keep
reality when it comes to oil and gas and in
at the forefront. And as my father always likes to say,
this isn't his first regime toppling here in the world,
and it won't be the last.

Speaker 4 (53:41):
SARGI let me ask you this, So let's take the
Venezuela equation out of this. What do you see within
the next year here? And I know that one of
Trump's signature things he implemented right out of the gate
as president was let's remove a lot of the regulations
on the fossil fuel industry. I imagine the those all
don't go away overnight.

Speaker 3 (54:01):
Are there more?

Speaker 4 (54:02):
Did you see that becoming more favorable or more regulations
are going to be released and be easier for folks
like you? Harder are the same?

Speaker 15 (54:11):
Yes, No, we're very excited. The One Big Beautiful Bill
Act has removed a lot of regulations and web tape.
One major one is that we have gone back to
the government leasing out federal minerals at a twenty five
percent rather than the Biden administration's twelve percent. And for

(54:33):
owners like us, our excuse me vice versa excuse me
change that around the Biden administration was doing twenty five percent.
This administration is doing twelve and a half, which allows
us as operators and producers, more revenue and opportunities for
cash flow during these lower oil prices.

Speaker 3 (54:55):
All right with that RT It is always our pleasure,
really man. People want to find out more about it,
what it is you all do? Where can they go?

bad actor in charge of things who's built his life
on corruption and crime, you can see how sideways.

And not truly understanding what's going on anyway, that stuff
runs itself. Well, no it does, it doesn't.

Speaker 4 (55:50):
Yeah, you need the experts in there to do it. Well,
that's the thing is like, well, we don't want to
pay excellent to come in here, because then we got
to pay them. It's the old you know, you cut
out all the other the hands that go into it
and you get to keep more than profits. But it
don't work that way. You don't just get it out
of the ground and there's a process. So you look
at some guy and go, you know how to do this?

From the Inquire Cincinnati dot com, he wrote a pretty

the Mike Brown We're just gonna run it back statement
eighteen in there? Could you wide out the twenty twenty
five and put twenty twenty six in there?

Speaker 4 (58:46):
Perfect? So you're a you're not a fantasy football guy
ever been? No, No, I'm been onable football, but never
right fantasy.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
Neither am I.

Speaker 4 (58:58):
But I heard there's you know, within the league, as
usually they make like whoever loses, they make him do
something ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (59:05):
It's kind of like that, you know what you do.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
Yeah, So there's all these great fantasy football punishments that
are coming out, and sometimes it's you know, you gotta
wear a shirt. I remember when locally they made somebody
eat like a bunch of skyline or something something I
forget exact, but something like that.

Speaker 3 (59:25):
But here's one. This is.

Speaker 4 (59:28):
This guy name his name is Gabe, and he was
the loser of the Fantasy Football League. So they are
making in honor of Joey Chestnuts Fourth of July hot
dog geating contests. They're making him eat seventy one hot dogs. Now,
I don't have to do it all at one city
or in ten minutes or anything, but yes, he must

(59:49):
eat seventy one hot dogs to match the record. The
clock starts once he eats his first hot dog and
runs until he completes the seventy first. He can only
eat hot dogs in the style of Joey Chestnut along
with the way or along the way, and not toss
them in chili or mac and cheese.

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
So he's just gotta Now does he have to dunk
him in the water? And I read that's right the
bun thing.

Speaker 4 (01:00:11):
I read that and didn't say specifically, but it said
has to do it in the way that Joey Chestnuts.
So that would mean breaking the two, taking two dogs,
breaking them, eating them, dunking the bun and swallowing it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
That's kind of harsh, that's rough. Uh let's see.

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
Yeah, so I guess when you know he's like mapping
it out, you know he's gonna eat like three hot
dogs in the morning, three at lunch, for at dinner
and do that for everybody can save days.

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
Yeah, exactly. So anyway, I just thought that was that
was funny.

Speaker 4 (01:00:47):
If anybody, uh has a fantasy football league and you
make your biggest loser do something hilarious like that, call
the show five one, three thousand.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
Yeah. I even the guys who come in like third
or fourth place in that hot dog gating contest only
do like fifty Oh yeah, i'd say only. But yeah,
you're making a civilian to eat seventy some hot dogs.
That's tough, God tough man. Yeah, but I don't know

(01:01:16):
how many hot dogs do you think you could eat?

Speaker 15 (01:01:18):
Ones?

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
Like no time women just you just eat them in
one sitting kind of thing.

Speaker 15 (01:01:23):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:01:24):
Yeah, Now I know I can eat I mean I've
done ten cheese.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
Coming I thought, I thought, you remember you doing ten cheese,
and I.

Speaker 4 (01:01:31):
Bet I could do. I bet you could push twelve
to fifteen. So that's fifteen. So that would mean now
the coney dogs are a little bit smaller than actual
hot dogs, So I could do I could do twelve
hot dogs.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
I bet that wouldn't be fun, it'd be disgusting, But
I think I could do it. No, did you ever
anybody you ever played with along the Way college or pros?
Was there anybody who could eat monumental amounts of food
that you would just look at me?

Speaker 4 (01:02:00):
My, my, my buddy, My one of my best friends
and roommate at Notre Dame, Tommy Lipinski. He was a fullback,
and this dude could eat unbelievable portions of food.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
And he was, you know, and he was a big dude.

Speaker 4 (01:02:14):
He you know, loved lift and weight, so he's always
you know, we were always you know, you gotta you know,
force the food down to get big and stuff. But
there was this what was it? There was this Italian
place I'll never forget this that we would go to
every once in a while here and there, and they
had this saw a dish called like a like a sizzellini.

(01:02:34):
You know, it was like a like an olive garden,
but you called something else and it was a like
a like a skillet, like I mean, a big ass
skillet with you know, chicken and pasta and all this stuff,
and it was for like three people, and that son
of a gun ate it in one city. Me and
my other buddy Matt were like, that is truly unbelievable.
Like I can eat a lot, I can pound it down,

(01:02:56):
but there was I had no chance that this guy
could just eat food like you wouldn't believe.

Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
I mean, just incredible, incredible. I've seen guys like that.
And you know, back in I remember there's a guy
in college. I was thinking about him the other day.
We'd go, you know, a few of us would go
to lunch and then I always went to the subhouse
there next to ud And you know, if I got
a whole sub, I mean there's no wag an you
had the whole giant sub. But sometimes I would think

(01:03:21):
I was that hungry and I'd have a half a leftover,
you know sub and these things are half of them
is like nine inches say and uh. And this guy
was probably about about five ten five eleven, about one
hundred and seventy say, and he would eat a whole
eighteen inches long sub and go, you eat that? You

(01:03:43):
eat that? I'm like, sure, but not yourself out Sure, enough.
I would eat the whole damn thing. Like where does
it go? I would say one another, I don't. I
don't know if this is impressive or not.

Speaker 4 (01:03:55):
I can and I have multiple times eating an entire
large traditional cross pizza from the Roses.

Speaker 3 (01:04:03):
I can do that and easy. I used to be
able to. I think I could now a whole one. Oh,
a whole deal O large just for me. I can
eat a half a one. But that's that was back

for childhood vaccines signed off and created and crafted by
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior, a
longtime skeptic of vaccines and his associates, has many doctors
and professional medical groups speaking out against the move. The
souw splits vaccines in the three categories based on a
child's health profile, and many vaccines that have been deemed safe,

(01:07:20):
like the flu and CODEDE vaccines, taking off the recommended schedule.
Doctor Richard Besser is the former acting director of the

to confusion and possibly the worst case scenario deests.

Yeah, how some time the way up for a few
days there, I missed, uh missed the game on Sunday
and I just watched it from home, and uh there
was something going around. My whole house got hit with something.
So it's been uh it's been kind of a one
by one everyone in my house. There was only one
guy that hasn't gotten it yet, so uh we'll see,

(01:10:18):
we'll see if it hits him.

Speaker 17 (01:10:40):
To be honest with you, guys, like I was lay
laying there last night, uh, still trying to go over
whatever the crud here, and uh and I saw, you know,
he popped up where he had done an interview and uh,
I guess it was on Monday or something, and I
was like, I've totally forgotten about. I'm like, oh, yeah,
that guy. And then and then that the news today.

(01:11:04):
What was it that he was driving without a license
and uh that sentenced to five days in jail and
reported to jail today. I guess it was from last summer.

Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
And street racing downtown downtown Rock.

Speaker 17 (01:11:17):
I thinks, so yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I don't
you know, I always try to look at these things
as a that's an individual thing, and you know, it's
certainly I will say that this is what came to mind.

Speaker 15 (01:11:31):
Uh.

Speaker 17 (01:11:31):
And it's a positive thing about the Bengals that it's
it's few and far between now where you see Bengals players,
uh getting you know, having run ins with the law.
And that's a huge testament to Zach Taylor. And I
know Zach Taylor is at the end of the day,
it's about performance based business, about what happens on the field.
And but but Zach Taylor deserves a lot of credit

(01:11:54):
for the culture that he's created. And you remember so
many years there the national reputation of the Bengalsh you know,
so many guys were having run ins with the wall
and and and certainly the impact that Zach Taylor's had
on on the organization from the standpoint of you know, uh,
you know, not not not getting into trouble uh off

(01:12:16):
the field, I think is a big part of his impact.
And again I know it's not been good on the
field the last few years, but if you look at holistically,
I think that's part of part of his impact is
that you know, the Bengals are a different are are
a different culture now and that that you know, it's

(01:12:37):
no longer excused uh so to speak necessarily from the organization,
Uh that you know of people having run ins with.

Speaker 4 (01:12:44):
The wall, Well, well, I mean, I mean, yeah, to
your point, if this is if the worst thing that's
going on is there's some street racing going on, in
a suspended license. That that that that's that's a great
thing to have. And moving on to your your column,
jas Uh, you kind of laid out a five, like
five moves that you would like to see the Bengals

(01:13:05):
make this offseason.

Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
I want to start with number one here.

Speaker 4 (01:13:09):
Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown needs answer questions asap. Explain
why that's important, and then do you think that will
ever happen.

Speaker 17 (01:13:20):
It's important because they haven't made the playoffs in three years,
and the defenses is what the defense is, and they've
repeatedly failed at drafting and building a defense, developing a defense.
And you know you fired your defensive coordinator after last season,
so you made that move, and it's still the defense
was even worse this year. And so at some point,

(01:13:41):
the guy who is ultimately in charge, and let's be
honest here, ultimately the person who has the final say
on everything in that organization is Mike Brown, the owner.
And you know he still has his hand we don't
know to what degree he has his hand in. We
know he still has his hand in some player person,
no role. It's ultimately it's ultimately on him to answer

(01:14:05):
for this. And we've seen several other owners come out
with with statements, uh with you know, Carly Ursa Gordon
and Indianapolis had a press conference. I give, I give,
you know, it's a little tough to give some I mean,
I guess you give a little credit to Mike Brown,
like he did come out the next day with a
three paragraph statement that didn't really say a whole lot,

(01:14:26):
but at least I think he acknowledged something and uh
said something to the fans. I mean, we already knew
that Zach Taylor and Duke Tobin weren't weren't getting fired,
so he said that in there. I guess is that
a is that a vote of public vote of confidence
for both those guys? I guess, you know, and and
then basically saying you know they're committed, but but like

(01:14:49):
not going.

Speaker 3 (01:14:49):
Into any details.

Speaker 17 (01:14:50):
And we turned that around and look at what happened
on Friday or Saturday or Friday or Saturday. Was the
Titans owner Amy Amy I'm drawing a blank on.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
Amy Adams.

Speaker 17 (01:15:03):
Trump came out with a pretty detailed letter to fans
explaining why the general manager and the team president were
remaining and explaining their roles, and it was pretty nuanced,
But I think those are questions that fans have. Certainly
apparently they had that of the Titans, and those are

(01:15:24):
really similar questions that fans have here, like who's ultimately
calling the shots and who can be held accountable here?
And you know, so I felt like Mike Brown needed
to at least put out a letter, a statement whatever. Really,
I think taking it a little step further rather than
just saying like we all knew Duke and Zak were

(01:15:44):
coming back. You know, hey, we're committed to you know,
winning and championship football. And I don't know, I think
I just think after three years of not making the
playoffs and just how bad it's been the last two years,
I think you need to hear. You need to hear
from the person who's making the decisions ultimately more so
than you know once a year before the season and

(01:16:06):
then in a three paragraph statement.

Speaker 3 (01:16:08):
A great we're talking to our good friend Jason Williams.
And one of the other things you had in your
five point column, Jace was and and this has been
all over social media and it's still was kind of
on fire there, a little bit fire Duke Tobin and people.
People have been beating that drum for a couple of
years now.

Speaker 17 (01:16:27):
Though, Yeah, I feel like there's there's a responsibility journalistically
in my role to like, you got to be really
careful if you call for someone to be fired. And
I understand we live in social media. Fans are going
to say what fans are.

Speaker 28 (01:16:42):
Going to say.

Speaker 17 (01:16:42):
And yeah, I requested an interview, uh, a one on
one interview with Duke Tobin back at the around the
bye week and was told like, you know, hey, we'll
get back with you, and you know, and they never
got back with me. And I mean, these are all
questions like I want to ask him about back then.

(01:17:03):
Hopefully I was hoping for one on one. He doesn't
doesn't typically talk during the season, and he is going
to talk this Friday at one pm as a print
of press conference. But I think that there needs to
be a new voice there, you know, certainly we've heard
a lot about the Bengals meeting a general manager. There's
no sense in beating beating that dead horse. They're not

(01:17:26):
going to hire a general manager as long as Mike
Brown's running the team, and so as is the top
roster architect in the structure of the Bengals by title
anyway is Duke Tobin as the player of personnel director
and so. And he's been in that role for almost
what twenty five you I think two thousand and early

(01:17:47):
two thousand thousand and two maybe, and he's been with
the organization since the late nineties. And you really need
a new voice there, you need an outside voice to
come in. But that's not the Bengals way. It's not
the Bengals way to bring in an outside voice and
a new perspective. But you've seen enough now from the
defensive draft picks over the last handful of years. The

(01:18:09):
guys that they've drafted what over the last three or
four drafts are the ones that were supposed to be
really starring on the field this year. Instead they look
like just a total mess. And that that's ultimately that ultimately,
as the structure stands in the Bengals way of doing things,
that ultimately falls on him. He's he's by title, the
top roster architect. And if they haven't gotten it done,

(01:18:32):
and we can keep, you know, hammer away on that,
hammer away on that. But you know, there's been enough
opportunities there continue to draft uh and players and they kept,
like I said, they fired their defensive coordinator after last
year and things didn't get better. I don't think lou
Ana Roumo was the problem, and I don't think Al
Golden is the problem. It's the talent that you're evaluating

(01:18:56):
and missing on that and that ultimately falls on Duke
Tovid and his the apartment.

Speaker 4 (01:19:00):
Yeah, absolutely, couldn't couldn't agree more on that. The issue,
of course is the relationship of Mike Brown with Duke
Tobin's dad, and it's ye know that that's the hard part.
And in your column, Jason, I thought, you know, every
one of your points were valid. I the one that
I think I have the best chance of happening is

(01:19:23):
your number five, Keep talking Joe Burrow and then and
I think you're absolutely you nailed it. You know, Mike
Brown doesn't listen to many people out there, He hasn't
for for years. And you know, some say that works,
some say it obviously doesn't. But one guy who listens
to is Joe Burrow. And Joe Burrow does I think
a good job of not coming off as someone who's complaining.

(01:19:45):
But he gives his gives his thoughts and he's very
calculating how he phrases things. And how he uses that
to to push maybe a little influence. I think that's
something that certainly needs to keep.

Speaker 17 (01:19:56):
Happening a big time. And I and I think that's
that's certainly we've seen in the high profile things with
you know, and he he you know, he pushed for
Tea and Jamar to get their extensions and obviously that
happened last off season. You know, he went went to
bat for them to re sign Mike Geschi and that happened,
and he went to bat for Trey Hender and May
publicly mentioned him. So I think even more so really

(01:20:20):
after they went to the Super Bowl, I think I
think Joe realized like he had he had a voice,
and he had a voice with the with the the ownership,
and so I think he's I think he talks more
to folks in the front office than we than we know,
and has more influence and just suggesting things. I think
he's got a great way. You're right, he's very calculated.

(01:20:40):
He's not a jerk about it. He's not like, oh,
I'm gonna I want out of here if you don't
do this, this and this, Like he knows, he knows
his role. Ultimately, he's the starting quarterback, Like he's not
the general manager.

Speaker 3 (01:20:53):
And I respect that.

Speaker 17 (01:20:54):
I mean, I don't know how you can't respect that.
But he also knows that, uh, the role that he's
played in this organization is probably the greater role than
any player has ever played. And just the fact that
you know, he was a national champion in college and
he's an Ohio guy, and you throw all that stuff

(01:21:14):
in there, like Heisman Trophy winner, and that there's a
lot with him and what he's made. The impact that
he's made on this franchise is unlike any other player
in the history and the history of the franchise. Hands
down that there is no argument about that. And so
I think his approach and the way that he approaches

(01:21:36):
that is that Mike Brown respects it and as well
he should, Like you know, I mean, Joe Burrow has
his singer on the pulse of of that locker room
and of what needs.

Speaker 6 (01:21:48):
To be done.

Speaker 17 (01:21:48):
This guy is a winner. This guy is a winner.

Speaker 6 (01:21:51):
He deserves he.

Speaker 17 (01:21:52):
Deserves the right players around him. Like he is here
to win in a Super Bowl.

Speaker 15 (01:21:57):
He's not yet.

Speaker 17 (01:21:58):
Yes, he makes a lot of money, but this is
a differently wired guy. This guy wants to win a
super Bowl. This guy isn't about like falling into you know,
the Bengal way or you know, oh, you know the
Bengal malaise. Nope, He's here to win a super Bowl.
He wants to do it here and so this is
this is him using his voice to express getting to

(01:22:18):
that goal and has nothing to do with his ego
or you know, I don't like this guy or that guy.
All it is is about the Lombardi Trophy period in
the story.

Speaker 3 (01:22:27):
Well said, all right with that, Jase, we will let
you go, buddy, Thanks so much, Thank that. Happy New Year,
our good friend Jason Williams from The Inquire since Dady
dot Com. And yeah, when Joe Burrow talks, I think
everybody an idea.

Speaker 4 (01:22:43):
Yeah, and look, I mean his job is to is
to play quarterback. That's you know. And I can understand
the argument. Well, look, you play the ball, and but
a quarterback's actually you are the head of the franchise.
If you are the quarterback, you are the most important
person in the building. How you play determines if everybody

(01:23:04):
keeps their job. I mean literally from the other players
down to the secretaries, right, I mean seriously, so yeah,
I think it's it's important for a guy who's established
himself as a great player and a leader and someone
who wants to win that yeah, he absolutely should should
assert his opinion and use some persuasive power to try

(01:23:25):
to get the best team he.

to be installed at Laurel Playground, but didn't happen. Now
a second child's been shot and murdered there.

Speaker 31 (01:32:28):

how do we get those cameras up?

How do we get the lights installed?

So once we stall the problem, we can go back

she'll do more to hold the city manager or administration

a little ways into the letter and all of a
sudden he just like what up, Yeah, just goes off hard.

wanted to do stuff like that too, where like like
you said, but people would be like, I'm when I'm
meditated or I'm going to free my mind, I might
not dwell on the small things and just be you know,
more conscious about my mental well being. And then they're

(01:36:52):

give up on them. But hey, hey, real quick on
the on the coke thing, is someone who gave up pop,

involved for eighteen seasons. It's according to schefter here and Austin,
thank you for making me aware of that.

Speaker 3 (01:41:25):
That's that's wild, that's big man. What why why would
that be? I thought I'd seen that they had renewed
his contractor someone apparently not.

Speaker 34 (01:41:38):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:41:39):
John Harbor is out as Ravens coach eighteen season one
hundred and eighty and one thirteen record, thirteen and eleven
postseason one Super Bowl championship.

Speaker 3 (01:41:49):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:41:49):
Second NFL second longer longest tenured coach, behind of course
Mike Tomlin.

Speaker 3 (01:41:55):
Wow. Well, how about Harbor of the Browns and Stefanski
is Fansky two to the Ravens.

Speaker 4 (01:42:02):
What's funny because the stefanski is is like the number,
like the choice on like three. Yeah, I've seen that
three the Falcons, the Giants and one other team.

Speaker 6 (01:42:13):
I saw.

Speaker 3 (01:42:14):
It was a bad firing, all big time. Well it
was in the I saw a headline from the Cleveland
paper the Brown's ownership has just made Stefanski the Baker
Mayfield of coaches. Yeah, because you know, he got missed,
he got mys treatd Well, he was not great in Cleveland,

(01:42:36):
but he did kind of mistreated and they pulled the
trigger on him too early. But yeah, and now he's
a hero down south. That's what's gonna happen with the Stfanski.

Speaker 4 (01:42:46):
Imagine if he went to New York with Jackson Dart
and what's the running backs, Scataboo and the elite neighbors, right.

Speaker 3 (01:42:55):
They that'd be a they got some weapons or some
young weapons. That might be a good good spot for Well,
that's wild, though, Harball, that they were they were this,
they were a miss field going away from Missah.

Speaker 4 (01:43:09):
Yeah, so you're telling me you would have would have
fired him with if that field goal had been three
feet to the left.

Speaker 3 (01:43:14):
I don't know. That's that's always an interesting call.

Speaker 4 (01:43:17):
But I you know, maybe eighteen seasons are like we
just need some freshness in the building. But yeah, I again,
anytime a coach is fired, my next question is, okay, fine,
who you getting who's going to be the guy that
you guarantee.

Speaker 3 (01:43:31):
Is going to be better than the guy you had before.

Speaker 4 (01:43:34):
And if it's not someone you could make an argument
that you're guarantee can be better, I don't know if
you should do it.

Speaker 3 (01:43:40):
Well, that's what everybody around here always barking for Zach
Taylor job, And I don't know, I don't think you've
ever voiced your thoughts on him as a coach.

Speaker 4 (01:43:49):
I I think I don't think Zach Taylor is the problem.
I think there's a lot of good things he does.
I just think it's it's more of a top down issue.
I think if he were the same thing, if he had,
you know, a front office that was a bunch of
grinders and you know, we're very competent in what they did, I.

Speaker 3 (01:44:07):
Think he would, you know, he could, he could be fantastic.
But well, that's when we were talking to Jason Williams earlier.
He was talking because we were talking about this thing
with Cam Taylor. Bridd did did he did he? Or
is he doing jail time? I never did get that
part straight or just a suspended sentence. I don't know

(01:44:27):
I was driving without a license in street racing or
something like that. But to his point, that's that's about
as bad as it gets with this team these days.
Back in the day when it seemed like every week
You've said it yourself, the reputation of this team, there
are a bunch of punks and thugs. Man.

Speaker 4 (01:44:48):
Yeah, yeah, So so that he's certainly clean up the culture. Now,
just got to get some more wins. It's gotta you
gotta have both. No one, No one wants to the
good team with a bunch of law breakers on it,
but also no one wants the team that with a
bunch of guys with a heart of goal that don't
win either, right, gotta get both.

Speaker 3 (01:45:09):
So what it is? Let me ask you this too
as a former player. Now, is this a relatively new
term culture, the culture of the locker room? Or was
there a different term for it back then, because it
just seems like I've been here in that term in
the last I don't know, five ten years. That's the
big that's the big hot topic.

Speaker 4 (01:45:29):
No, you No, it is certainly in the last five years,
and maybe even a little bit longer than that. But
that that is the buzzword. And I can't go into
one coaches meeting, you know with you know, I did
twenty one games, so that's forty two head coaches I
talked to without every single one of them talking about
culture and what their culture is and what we got

(01:45:50):
to do our culture better and how our culture is
better than this guys, and what I've hit culture culture, culture, calture.
But yeah, it is the coach speak buzzword. To talk about.
I think we're gonna get a call here. Let's see
if we get Yeah, we do have Mike in Butler County. Mike,
thanks for calling. What do you have?

Speaker 34 (01:46:11):
Hey, guys, I too cannot believe that Stefanski got fired
up in Cleveland. I mean, they go through quarterbacks like
no organization I've ever seen. Whoever's pulling it. It seems
to me like the general manager should have gotten fired.
I thought Stefanski did a good job, and I'd love

(01:46:34):
to I mean, I like what we've got in Cincinnati,
but I'm just saying i'd take him as the head coach.

Speaker 3 (01:46:40):
He was coaching that year twice in twenty twenty three.

Speaker 4 (01:46:44):
What even like it was twenty years ago, it was recently, right,
It's bad bad.

Speaker 17 (01:46:51):
Do you guys know?

Speaker 34 (01:46:51):
Is that the GM up there that keeps making these
quarterback decisions like to go out and get Deshaun Watson.

Speaker 3 (01:46:57):
It's the owner Haslam.

Speaker 4 (01:47:01):
He's kind of like a Jerry Jones, right, he kind
of says, Hey, I like that guy, let's get him.

Speaker 3 (01:47:05):
Yeah, Jerry Jones want to be That's what happened with
the and thanks Mike, That's what happened with that Deshaun
Watson thing, because they kind of came out of the
blue on that. If you remember, there were we're talking
about two or three different teams that were all about
the Watson deal. Then all of a sudden, Browns have
Deshaun Watson. It was crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:47:23):
Yeah, they gave him all kinds of guaranteed money and
just screwed up player contracts for years.

Speaker 3 (01:47:31):
Doesn't he give him like two hundred it was like
two hundred and forty million dollars up.

Speaker 4 (01:47:35):
Front something nuts like that. It was stupid, stupid for anybody,
let alone the guy that you know turned out to
be that.

Speaker 3 (01:47:42):
Yes, all right, well my new year's resolution is to
sign a new contract with the big one. I'll settle
for two hundred million dollars and.

Speaker 4 (01:47:53):
I will too, damn it. Together, we will. We will
take the poultry some and stay united.

Speaker 3 (01:47:59):
I think if we subtract about five or six zeros
from that, we might be in business. They're exactly right,
and we'll take that to We'll take whatever you're willing
to give me. Uh where that we check in with
traffic and weather, what is going on.

Speaker 6 (01:48:13):
You know who's not a Kevin Stefanski fan would be
that Rex Obryon on ESPN. As a matter of fact,
he kind of had some, uh, had some rather pointed.

Speaker 3 (01:48:22):
Feeling about history there.

Speaker 6 (01:48:25):
Coach Coach of the Year. What does that mean? That's
that's just one of those little things that that's kind
of a meaningless thing. And I'm thinking, well, I suppose
if you've done a good job, that would be a
good thing to happen.

Speaker 3 (01:48:38):
Your mom thinks it's cool. Yeah, he's doing great.

Speaker 6 (01:48:42):
But yeah, but Rex kind of went off on Kevin Stefansk.

Speaker 3 (01:48:46):
I was kind of like, wow.

Speaker 3 (01:50:38):
We got you covered all right, back with eddiean Rocky
just a little while longer, rock But before we get
out of here. We always loved talking to our buddy
Alex Stone from ABC.

Speaker 15 (01:50:49):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:50:50):
I don't know about you, guys, but I've been hearing
about this type of thing for a long time, and
I'm honest to god, couldn't tell you the last time
I had a cup of coffee on an airplane.

Speaker 4 (01:51:00):
See, I have, and I know it's dirty, but I
just I can't say no. And apparently that's a bad
idea because I guess the reports are that the water
on these airplanes is all kinds of dirty.

Speaker 3 (01:51:12):
And with more on that, our good friend Alex Stone, Alex,
what is the latest?

Speaker 33 (01:51:16):
Yeah, And I'm the same way. I'm like, I know
that they tell you the water is really dirty, but
I go, yeah, I'm a cup of coffee, please, and
thinking that it's not coming out of that holding tank
that we always hear about. And that's what this is
all about that. You know, you get on, you order coffee,
you order tea, you wash your hands in the boss,
in the bathroom on board. But so there is this

(01:51:36):
nonprofit that for years they have been doing studies on
the water on board and they have a new airline
ranking and it's not scientific at all. It's using airlines
sell reported data. But they give airlines a water safety
score based on public reports of ekoli in water on
planes and how many incidents an airline has had with
the safety of its water, how often they flush and
they disinfect. So doctor Charles Flackett, he's the author of

(01:51:59):
the ranking. He says, this is a problem because the
water where they fill up can be different qualities depending
on where they get it, and then the trucks that
it's put into, and then it's put on the plane
and then it contaminates that that tank and then things
can grow in there. But he told me this today, aircraft.

Speaker 35 (01:52:16):
Can fill up in different locations. They can fill up
and if they fill up in New York City, well,
New York City's great water is great, whereas if they
fill out in other locations, well they may not be
so great. So there's that Then they go into two trucks,
and those trucks that have contatinusts contabinists. So and then
and then the airlines own possible water tanks could have contabinuts.

Speaker 33 (01:52:35):
So he's with the Center for Food is Medicine, and
he says there are airlines that do better than others
when it comes to cleanliness of water on their planes.
He says Delta has come a long way and their
study that they've really come up that they're doing well
based on where they used to be.

Speaker 8 (01:52:49):
Let's say the.

Speaker 35 (01:52:49):
Delta and Frontier are the best, and the bottom tier
is American Airlines, and then Jet Blue is the second worst.

Speaker 33 (01:52:56):
And then stir it to their spirit again it seems
like they're always there. But he claims, and again non
scientific the way that they did this, but based on
his data that the water coming out of the holding
tanks on planes for drinking or for the fauce in
the bathroom, that it is really nasty, to the point
where you don't even want to wash your hands in it,
he is saying.

Speaker 35 (01:53:12):
So he says, do not drink the coffee, do not
drink the tea, get it right before you get on
a flight. And most importantly, do not wash your hands
at the lavatory because those the lavatories test worse than
anything else. So don't wash your hand sanitizer with fifty
percent out whole a little better.

Speaker 33 (01:53:29):
But our medical teams are saying that goes against the
advice that if you have water and you've got soap,
to use that overhand sanitizer and only use hand sanitizer
if you don't have any soap with water. But so
each to their own. But he says thing twice before
using any water on board planes. And he begged me today,
he said, just please don't ask for coffee on board,
because you know what's coming out of these tanks that

(01:53:50):
that you don't know how clean they are on board
that plane. But I mean, I'll probably still do it,
but maybe I'll think about going to Starbucks before I
get on board now. But their numbers and then the
data they say, it's really gross seahawks.

Speaker 4 (01:54:02):
I think Big Coffee is behind this thing, Starbucks being
they want me to spend six dollars on a coffee
before I get on the plane instead of getting the
free one on the plane. So they cook up this
kakamami story about pathogens and all this stuff and they
forced me to buy the coffee.

Speaker 3 (01:54:19):
That's what I think is going on here.

Speaker 33 (01:54:21):
Maybe maybe that's exactly what it is, you know, And
then you think about, well, think of your coffee maker
put it on like an industrial massive scale, and if
it's not really getting cleaned, what it would look like
and what would be growing on it? And then we're
not talking about their coffee maker on board, but they're
actual the tank where they're holding all of the water,
and how often does it get flushed out and disinfected
and all of that that it's not out of the

(01:54:44):
mind to think that that, yeah, it would grow things
and it could get pretty gross, and then that they
got to clean that thing out.

Speaker 3 (01:54:51):
Well, that's the reason the old ed man here sticks
to beer and wine.

Speaker 33 (01:54:57):
Yeah, you know, it's coming out of the cannon bottle or.

Speaker 3 (01:55:01):
A Coca cola, good old Coca cola first thing in
the morning. Beats a cup of coffee every single especially
if it doesn't have swimmys in it.

Speaker 4 (01:55:11):
I gotta say, I I choose the ignorance is bliss
methodology here. And in the same way I go into
a restaurant and I know, damn well, if that steak
fell on the ground for a few seconds. It's not
going in the garbage. They're gonna brush it off and
cook it and put it on my plate. I don't
want to think about that, and I don't want to
think about the coffee the water on the plane, so

(01:55:31):
I'll just remain ignorant.

Speaker 3 (01:55:33):
I guess I don't know if that's part of what
your or this whatever survey shows. But what about the ice?
That's a different source, is it?

Speaker 16 (01:55:45):
It is?

Speaker 33 (01:55:45):
There have been warnings about that as well in the past,
not knowing where that that water comes from, and then
what the hell sanitary where they're they're freezing and all that.
But yeah, if you've seen them, it comes in big
bags and you always hear them back there, you know,
as they're breaking it up and getting it ready. But
they didn't look at that in this study. But there
have been studies in the past or they said go
no ice, get something out of a can, and go

(01:56:06):
no ice, because depending on where you're leaving out of,
you don't know where they got that ice.

Speaker 3 (01:56:11):
All right, with that good advice, Alex, Thanks buddy.

Speaker 33 (01:56:14):
You got it.

Speaker 6 (01:56:15):
Thanks?

Speaker 3 (01:56:17):
Yeah, Well, I dude, when they tell me you can't
wash your hands, that's when I get a little squirrely
with stuff. Yeah, but I don't trust. Yeah, I don't
like going into airplane bathrooms anyway. It just it's something
about it gives me the creeps.

Speaker 4 (01:56:34):
Well for me, it's tremendously uncomfortable because you know, you know,
it's usually you know, a kind of swan slant. Is
I'm sitting there with like my head leaned all the
way over on my left shoulder, you know, legs braised,
trying not to peel over the mirror and everything.

Speaker 3 (01:56:50):
God, that's like a balancing knack going on that thing. Well,
see that. I actually have thought about you when I
was in an airplane bathroom. Oh wow. I mean I'm
a I'm a small man, and I'm standing there and
I I'm kind of wenching in there. I'm thinking, how
in the hell does Rocky do this? It's not fun?

(01:57:13):
Not fun?

Speaker 16 (01:57:14):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:57:14):
But but to your point earlier about you know, you
just get a coke. I bet you.

Speaker 4 (01:57:18):
Most of the last few flights, and again we're talking.
This is Cincinnati to Atlanta, like early in the morning,
you know, Memphis to Atlanta. They've given nothing but water
and coffee. You don't see much of the pop getting right,
that being a choice anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:57:37):
Well, it is exactly what we've we've both said we've
seen it on any especially from like say here to Atlanta.
It's always turbulent. So we can't serve beverages. A bull crap?
Do you just to serve breakfast from here to Atlanta?
They can't even give me a coke? Right, you can't
give me a coke? Ye rock And another gross news

(01:58:01):
nice this happened at a Royal Farms store in Pennsylvania.
I guess Royal Farms is kind of like a I
don't know, it's not like well, kind of like a
ro king or like a udf. Oh okay, okay, but
slightly bigger udf because this thing has a beer cave.

(01:58:22):
You know, that's kind of popular. This person, Crystal Gaze,
pleaded no contest recently to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly
conduct that she created a hazardous and physically offensive condition.
She was fined seventy five dollars in order to pay
restitution of about eighty dollars to the Royal Farm store.

(01:58:48):
Common Police Court judge there also barred her from returning
this store, which is about a mile from her home.
Why was she on trial. She had been arrested there
a few months back. A Royal forms of worker called
cops to report that an unknown woman had come in
quote come in the previous day and defecated in the
beer cave. Oh my god, that's rough. You should be

(01:59:13):
killed for that. I think beer big time. I mean
a police review of the surveillance footage showed Goss pushing
a case of the beers back from the shop or
I guess, I don't know what she did exactly, push
it in a cave of alcoholic beveries back on the shelf,
pulling her pants down and uh oh, so what she

(01:59:33):
did was push this like case of beer to the
back of I guess you know, somebody pulled the case
of beer to the front of the shelf because there
was getting empty, so she pushed it out of the
way and sat on the shelf and did her business.

Speaker 4 (01:59:48):
It made it sound like she was she took like
the cases of beer and made like a makeshift toilet.

Speaker 3 (01:59:54):
No, she just pooped on the show.

Speaker 4 (01:59:55):
Okay, what there's gotta be consequences for that. You gotta
you just can't. I don't want to live in a society.

Speaker 3 (02:00:05):
Or right it goes on, this happened at five in
the afternoon, and it says even though the beer cave
has a clear glass of blah blah blah all the
way around, no one in the store saw her at
the time. And in addition to here's what I love.
In addition to disorderly conduct, Giles was charged with open

(02:00:27):
lewdness scattering rubbish. That's an official offense. Huh. Yeah, apparently
in criminal mischief. Those three counts were withdrawn by prosecutors
as part of a negotiated plead deal. Yeah, the court
filings did not indicate it. While why she opted to
do her business in the beer cave, now, meth it's

(02:00:51):
gotta be now, see, I there's been times when I
had to not do that. But you know, you go
into an alleyway and you have a little pea behind
the dumpster or something like that. Yeah, maybe long ago
a guy was down, A couple of guys I knew
were down in Marty Graff got sick and so you know,

(02:01:16):
everybody's everywhere blah blah blah. They do the same thing,
go down an alleyway behind the dumpster. All of a sudden,
a couple of cops walk and go, Hey, come with
us at Marty Gras. You're peeing in at night behind
a dumpster.

Speaker 4 (02:01:29):
I'd be like, dude, have all the illegal stuff going on,
You're gonna ding me? Oh wow, I guess they got
to enforce it to keep it when I'm down a little.

Speaker 3 (02:01:43):
That's what I told my buddy, though. I was like,
you guys had to just be so drunk or some
of them were making such you know, being so obvious
that they had no choice because well, we thought Arabian
kind of stealthful apparently not obviously not their secret squirrel.
Oh man. With that thought in mind, do we check
in with traffic and weather? What is going on,
