Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hear him at gas stations while I'm gassing up, as
people start listening to him on YouTube or watching him
locked on Bengals Bengals Talk dot com. When you do
the Bear catch talk?

Speaker 2 (00:10):
What all do you do? James rakeein A.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Little bit of everything, mostly Bengals, though I would say
all that I try to cover the Bengals from every
angle I possibly can.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
That's a good way to describe it. And you've been
doing it for a little bit Sant Bernard's own of course,
hanging out here. I appreciate you making time. This is
an exciting weekend one. I don't want to call it
a tune up because this Bengals team has had problems.
But when you have an zero for the season, Jets
team coming in, whether boom or a siasin shows or not.
Ring of Honor weekend, Lamar Parrish leaping, Dave Lapham doing

(00:42):
it well, deserved into the Ring of Honor. This Bengals
team has a challenge as they look to keep rolling,
and there are questions guys in, guys out, be it injuries,
hendrickson playing or not playing.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Right lean toward playing, but we didn't get the official either.
I would still lean toward playing. I think it was
it was killing him to miss last week and in
this game. Yeah, it's against the winless team, but all
that equity you built up and all that momentum you
built up with a win over the Steelers goes out
the window if you lose this week.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
So I would lean toward playing, But nothing confirmed yet.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
What is the deal with Logan Wilson. I see all
this talk about him running out, now what what?

Speaker 5 (01:25):
Why?

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Is he unhappy?

Speaker 3 (01:27):
He got benched ahead of the Green Bay game and
is kind of entering a new role on this defense
where he's the third linebacker instead of their first. And
I think going into this year, and certainly coming into
this season, Logan felt like and really the Bengals sort
of planned on him.

Speaker 6 (01:46):
Being the guy.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
And then when you very quickly six games into the
year are five games into the year rather are benched,
it's it's tough tough bill to swallow. So no, I
still think he views himself as a starter in this league,
and that's where it comes from his trade request.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
Now, that doesn't mean the Bengals are planning on trading him.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
A trade could happen anytime, but I don't think anything's imminent.
I think they would be open to it if the
right deal were to come up and present it to them.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
But I don't think they're going to give him away.
And that's why I would.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Be pretty surprised if he wasn't on the field for
Sunday's game against the Jets.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
You know, in this position where he's gone down the
depth chart here, James Rapine, by the way lockdown Bengals
was sterling seven hundred WLW Jets in town, a weekend
ring of honor, big celebration and what hopefully is another
W for the Bengals, and he's dropped down. Was thought
to be the starters. He just said it has turned
out not to be the guy here. What type of
value does he have and where could he go to

(02:49):
be a starter since he's just gruntled and thinks he
can scratch his way up closer to being at that
level again, if it's not here.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
I think there would be teams that would him as
a starter. I think the Dallas Cowboys could certainly be one.
The Indianapolis Colts, with former Bengals defensive coordinator Luisa Rumo
as their defensive coordinator now could be another.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
So there are teams.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
San Francisco is another team contending team that could use
some mindbacker help. I just look at it, and he's
under contract through twenty twenty seven, so it's not like
he's in the final year of his deal or he's
got yet one more year left. He's got two years left,
and that just really makes it complicated. Any team that
would acquire him could move on this offseason. But there's

(03:32):
a six million dollar dead cap hit, which not trying
to get too much into the weeds, but that's a
lot of money to pay someone and to eat to
just get rid of them, and that's kind of what
the Bengals are facing. So what I think the decision
is going to be if you're Cincinnati between now and
the trade deadline November fourth, is.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Do you want to try to shed that contract.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
If so, you're probably not going to get much, but
you could maybe get that contract off your books long term.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
And is that worth it?

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Or is having Logan Wilson a linebacker that you know
what you're going to get on your roster, even if
it's more in a reserve role.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Is that more valuable?

Speaker 3 (04:08):
And that's what they're going to have to wrestle with
and really explore between now and November fourth.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Talking to James Rapine locked on Bengals, SI, he's everywhere
Sterling seven hundred WLW, All right, what have I not asked?

Speaker 6 (04:21):
Here? Is now?

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Joe Flacco. Game three, the first one with a couple
of days in was sort of a first half of
what am I doing?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Who am I playing?

Speaker 6 (04:30):
With?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Second half that seemed to find their feet. Game two
looked like they were clicking almost on all cylinders, which
is an amazing thing, and it shows the talent that
he has being Flacco and everything that that offense has
and the way they've sort of built and allowed things
to form around what he can do. We saw protection
from the offensive line, We saw the defense step up.

Speaker 7 (04:52):
Here.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
We are game three in an zero for Jets team
in town. What are we looking for with growth and
development with them come Sunday?

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, I think that the next step This is a
big step, especially with this week. They haven't scored a
first quarter touchdown, a touchdown in the first quarter since
Week two when Joe Burrow foun Jamar Chase for a
four yard score. And so it's week eight, we're talking
about the eighth game.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Of the season.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
Now, and the Bengals are trying to do what they
did in Week two, which is win their second straight game.
And I think when you're facing an zero to seventeam
that has a pretty good defense, they're gonna be with
out a few guys, but still pretty darn good defense,
a lot of talent up front. Can you jump on
them early? Can you beat up on a team early

(05:45):
that is probably already having plenty of doubts, is probably
already looking in the mirror and thinking about themselves versus
the team overall. That's what I think the Bengals need
to do. And if they can do that, if they
can score early, if they can't get a which is
something they haven't done and then last week, then I
think that this could be one of those games that

(06:06):
that goes their way early and it stays that way.
And so for Joe Flacco, it's just continuing what he's
done over the past six quarters, but make sure you're
doing it in the first quarter to get off to
a really good start.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Would you call us more than a tune up game,
because I mean every team in the NFL, and you
know they say any you know, any week right, anything
can happen. But I mean, this Jets team have got
problems a quarterback. There's you know a lot of issues.
It was a Garrett Wilson's not going to be playing also,
which you know, maybe is something for them of concern
beyond what they already seem to be sure grasping for

(06:41):
any help at all. I shouldn't make fun because I
mean we've been there. No, don't make fun because it
might burn you on Sunday. They're still capable.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
I mean I went and I watched in what twenty
two at MetLife Stadium. I watched Mike White in the
Jets beat the Bengals, and this was the Bengals that
went to the AFC Championship game. That's right, right, So
this is it's one of those one of these games

(07:09):
where last week I described it as a must win.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
This one is a better win. You better win this game.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
The must wins are designated for seasons having wins and
things like that, but this one, the pressure is on
the Bengals to show that they're a good team. And
I think if they are a good team, which in
my eyes, the verdict is still certainly out given what
they've done over the first seven weeks of the season
and where they're at. So if they are a good team,
they are going to handle business and get a win.

(07:39):
But they got to show that and so no, I
think that they're going to be challenged. And this is
one of those where the Jets backs are against the wall.
You don't know exactly who's going to be at quarterback.
I think it's going to be Tyrod Taylor. You don't
have Garrett Wilson to deal with, you don't have Sauce
Gardner to deal with. But they stub a really good
defensive front. They hall he's an elite running back, not

(08:02):
just a good running back, an elite running back, and
so they're gonna have to stop the run. I mean,
there's there's things that they're going to have to do
better than they've done over the past couple of weeks.
If they're going to win this game, now people should
expect them to do those those things. But they still
got to go out and do those things and deliver
and hold up there.

Speaker 6 (08:20):
End of the bargain.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Talking to James Rapeen Lockdown Bengals Sterling seven hundred WLW
one o'clock kickoffs, hun Day Ring of Honor weekend, Dave Lapham,
Lamar Parrish, He's leaping Lamar getting their their nice jackets,
and there's tiger stripes and that nice underbolt of that
this offense for this team. We talked about it a

(08:41):
couple of weeks ago, James the figuring out Flacco's place
in that in between, giving him stuff with the running
game and also that that short ball stuff rather than
just always going deep. And we saw him connect big
time with Chase. We saw a lot of those different
elements coming together over these last two weeks. What is
it that you think they're working on in the midst

(09:02):
of this Let's assume it's a serious battle, But where
do they really need the work to say, Okay, we're
getting to the next level.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Well, they ran the ball effectively for the first time
all season last week, yep.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
And you saw Chase Brown get going. He had a
twenty eight yard run and then he followed that.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Up with a thirty seven yard run and those are
both in the second quarter, and that gave the Bengals
offense a real momentum.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
And so the beauty of being.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Able to do that really takes pressure off of Joe Flacco.
It takes pressure off of your passing game, They're going
to throw it, and that's.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Why they traded for Joe Flacco. They're gonna throw the ball.
They want to throw the ball.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
They're a pass first team, but running the ball, and
when you run it, having a few explosive runs mixed
in goes a long way. So they're gonna have Dyllan
Fairchild start at left guard this week, and it's the
first time he started in a few weeks due to
a knee injury. And so can this run game pick
up where it left off and continue to move forward.

(10:02):
I think that's a big factor. Obviously, Jamar needs the ball,
and he needs the ball, and Noah Fan and Chase
Brown out of the backfields a threat. But if you
can get that ground game going, it one keeps your
defense well rested too. It gives the defense a whole
nother thing to worry about that isn't your star weapons.
And it takes pressure off of a forty year old
quarterback that's played really, really well. But he's Joe Flacco.

(10:25):
He isn't Joe Burrow, and we need to remember that,
I think as we move forward here, because at some
point he's born to be Joe Flacco and not looked
like Joe Burrow as much. And that's fine, they can
win that way, but having a running game would certainly
help him.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Out, certainly would anything else. Before I let you go,
I know, I didn't ask everything.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
I know enough to know, Yeah, I think this really
is for me the game where we can learn a
lot about the Bengals in they what they could be.
And a lot of people are going to like, well, really,
it's a winless team. You're at home, it should be
an easy win, and it's like, well, yes, good, Like
if the Bengals are a good team, I could totally

(11:03):
see that winning by multiple scores and being in control
of the game and going that route. But these are
the type of games that don't look past that you're
dialed in for that you start fast and so that
first fifteen plays that first driver too. For Zach Taylor
and Joe Flacco in this offense. Are they getting seven points?
Are they getting is it ten to nothing after their

(11:24):
first two possessions or better? That is what I'm really
paying attention to as we go into Sunday's game.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Well, said James Raheen, locked on Bengals, He's everywhere else
as well, in kind enough to give us some time
A Friday night Sterling Rango vonn Er weekend Downtown pay
Corps Bengals three and four hosting an Owen seven Jacks
team Joe Flacco behind center. It should be good and
let's hope that they take it to the next level.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
But it's Friday.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
I can't contractually I feel dirty talking about a Monday
on Friday. It's right now forty nine your severe weather
station seven hundred WLW, And I was talking to Alex
Eigan is producing tonight about the fact that I have
struggled with it other than for weddings, funerals and occasional
meetings that I have to wear long pants. It's a sad,

(12:53):
sad day. We come to the point and weather in
the season where I got it. Even though I'm glad
for a Bearcat football, Bengals football, Big Jets weekend in town.
Uh in the ring of honor, Uh, inductees lap him
uh and and of course mister Parrish uh getting their
due and those nice blazers and a whole lot of
love shown to them this weekend in and around Cincinnati,

(13:13):
well deserved. I also had to get the nit hat
to cover my bald head because it's chilly outside.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
The dog loves it, uh and uh, but I I
just it's.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
And we're gonna fall back, and uh it's getting darker
earlier and then an hour or more of that will
lose next weekend. So yeah, I'm a little bitter, I'm
a little angry.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
And you'll get a chance to sound But we'll talk
on this a bit. Obviously. I'm just wondering because some
people thrive on it. Alex's parents apparently, especially as Mom
loves falling back.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
They love it.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
They get that extra hour so they wake up at
like two in the morning or something crazy from what
he was saying, which is makes me feel like I'm slacking,
which is not typical of course, or is it? And
I start the thing about to springing ahead, which always
I embrace and appreciate springing ahead more because well spring
into reds baseball and short pants, into you know, warm

(14:10):
weather and getting out into the garden and on the
river and on the you know, maybe a boat doing
some fishing, which, by the way, somebody messaged me they
were externly going to talk about all those boats that
were blowing up those drug vessels off the coast, like
a Venezuela or wherever else. The only thing I have
to say about it is is I mean, if they
are legitimately drug vessels are filled with the narco, you

(14:33):
know people they're trying to bring drugs here to Stateside
and all the bad stuff that comes with that, then
that's fine. We don't know, because they've been being blown up.
But I would say this, if I were going to
go on a fishing expedition in a boat that looks
anything like the boats they've been blowing up on almost
a daily basis lately, I would maybe reevaluate and take

(14:57):
a tour inland someplace, because you know, there could be
an ups and who wants the hell to be an
oops of that type, if you know what I'm saying.

seven hundred w welw was sterling here?

Speaker 2 (22:18):
How are you?

Speaker 6 (22:20):
I am doing well? Thank you for having me.

Speaker 11 (22:22):
That be Halloween early?

Speaker 6 (22:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Absolutely? Is that your favorite holiday?

Speaker 5 (22:26):
Halloween?

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Since you are known affectionately by many, apparently as Weird Willis?
And when did that start?

Speaker 6 (22:31):
By the.

Speaker 17 (22:35):
Weird Willis believe it or not, started when I was
in elementary school, but it was by so called friends
that were picking on me because I was into weird stuff,
so it kind of stuck and then by some matter
of fate, when I started writing for the weird Us
series of books like Weird Ohio, it got picked back

(22:57):
up again.

Speaker 6 (22:57):
So it's pretty much with me my whole.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
You and wird Harold from fat Albert, I mean a
good company, that's for sure. And there's an obscure reference
to Alexigan is like what fat Albert? Yeah, check it out.
That was before we knew Bill Cosby was well, you know. So,
So that being said, here's what I need to know, James,
because I know that there are a lot of people
who think that there is no such thing as ghosts

(23:24):
or apparitions or hauntings, there's no such thing as polter geist,
whatever it is. The idea of possession. I remember I
got to see way earlier than I should have been
allowed as a child to see the London Blair movie
and the whole thing of the Exorcist, which still is
unnerving to me, especially the head spinning and the bed
jumping off and all the religious stuff associated with it,

(23:46):
in the idea of Satan and so forth. So what
do you tell people, as an apparent normal researcher that
are doubters about the possibility of there being something in
between this world and something else in another dimension or otherwise.

Speaker 17 (24:02):
Well, in terms of like what I would tell them,
I don't really tell them anything, because over the years,
I've kind of realized that a skeptic or a non
believer doesn't really become a believer until they've had their
own experience. And so I can talk to him blue
in the face with all the stuff that you know,
I've experienced and that I've seen and play videos and

(24:23):
all that, but until they're actually they're themselves, they're not
going to fully believe. So I just tell them, you know,
one of these days, because it goes to.

Speaker 6 (24:33):
Stand that I hear from a lot of people.

Speaker 17 (24:36):
I give like a lot of presentations around the state
and stuff, and they will I'll always get somebody that
comes up to me and they'll say, you know, I
don't really believe in all this stuff. I kind of
got dragged here, but you know, it was interesting at all,
But I don't really believe in this stuff. But there
was this one time and then they tell you the
craziest story. So it's like, okay, so the fact that

(24:57):
you just said that's not real but that you have
that experience that's kind of on you, so I kind
of steer clear of it.

Speaker 6 (25:04):
It's like they're entitled to their opinion.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, well, yes, we all are paranormal researcher. Founder and
director of the Ghost of Ohio, which a Ghost of
Ohio dot org the website. James Willis was sterling on
the Big One seven hundred WLW. So how did you
become a paranormal researcher Because most people that I know
in conversation, if you open up and to get to
a point where you can say this event happened to

(25:28):
me or at my grandma's house or whatever it was,
then as you just describe people open up. But prior
to that, or even after you just kind of leave
it where it is, you've gone to the next level
and are chasing these things for one of a better
way to describe it, which seems really.

Speaker 6 (25:43):
Odd to me, Well, it's the thrill of the chase.

Speaker 17 (25:48):
And it all actually started in third grade when in
the Hudson Valley, when my third grade teacher tried to
convince me that the legend of Sleepy Hollow with the
Headless Horse that that was a true story and used
as quote unquote evidence all of the settings that you
could actually visit to the bridge of those sort of things,

(26:10):
and even the names of the characters that were buried
in the Terrytown Slash Sleepy Hollow cemetery.

Speaker 6 (26:17):
And I was blown away.

Speaker 17 (26:18):
I was like, that's crazy that the ghost really does exist.
And then I found out that no, it was Washington
Irving when he was writing the story, just walked around
Terrytown and wrote down everything that he thought was cool
and incorporated it into the story, including the names from
the tombstones. So because of that, I was like, okay,

(26:39):
well that's not a true ghost story. What are the
true ghost stories? So when people, you know, we get
contacted all the time where they say, well, there's a
you know, there's a ghost of a headless person out
in this field right there, and normally I'm like, okay,
well why is it out there? And so to me, yeah,
that could be a spooky story, but I want to

(27:00):
sort of like do research to find out because to me,
if I can find that, yeah, a guy got his
you know, head blown off by a cannonball or something
like that back on this day, and I have historical
documentation that to me, kind of supports.

Speaker 6 (27:15):
That in maybe there is something weird going on out there.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Talking to James Willis, a guy behind the ghost of
Ohio dot Org on the Big One seven hundred WLW.
So are there legit possessions of structures is land? And
I mean, how does this occur? You know, people have
talked about seeing the headless horseman, for instance, and there's

(27:39):
no shortage of those. I mean the rare covered bridge
in and around Ohio. I remember as a kid in
and around Preble County talk of some of that, though
I never saw it, but they would tell us. They
also let us go out with a paper bag and
a flashlight the woods behind the field and look for snipe,
which do not exist, but we did not know. So
I don't know how much is legit and how much

(27:59):
is not when it comes to this stuff.

Speaker 17 (28:03):
Yeah, I mean I think in terms of like ghosts,
a lot of what's currently out there, including on like
reality television, it's not real and a lot of the
backstories don't exist. It's because kind of like when you said,
when they were like, yeah, go out hunting for this thing,
and they didn't really exist. So a lot of those
sort of urban legends spring up because we all like

(28:26):
to get scared, and we all like the idea that
if we go out in the woods there could be
something that's going to get us. So the vast majority
of stories, including I think you mentioned like the covered bridge,
I know exactly the bridge you're talking about that's now
officially a.

Speaker 6 (28:39):
Cry baby bridge. So there's a lot of.

Speaker 17 (28:44):
How much time you got it's the idea of a
cry baby bridge is it's a local story, but it's
actually sort of nationwide, and it is an urban legend
where people have said that basically, you've got a young wife, mother,
and she's got a baby, and she's up on the bridge.

(29:05):
If you don't have a bridge, make it an overpass
or train trestle, and then something happens to cause the
baby to fall off the bridge.

Speaker 6 (29:12):
It's thrown, it's dropped, what have you.

Speaker 17 (29:15):
And according to legend, if you go out to this
bridge and you do something.

Speaker 6 (29:20):
Usually it's splash of lights three times.

Speaker 17 (29:22):
Or honk your horn three times, or jump up it
down real high twelve times, or something ridiculous like that
that you'll hear the baby crying. I first heard that
when I was in New York and there was just one.
When I moved to Georgia. There were supposedly six. When
I first started writing Weird Ohio and focused on those,

(29:44):
there were thirteen in Ohio alone. I've since started the
Ohio cry Baby Bridge Project on my website to try
to document all of these stories, and I think I'm
up to thirty five of them.

Speaker 6 (29:59):
But it but again, I'm looking. And the part that
I really.

Speaker 17 (30:03):
Like doing is I go out and I talk to
people and they send me in their stories of what
allegedly happened on the bridge. But then I go into
the research to try to figure out I'm still looking
for that one bridge in the entire United States where
a baby fell off or was thrown off, and I
haven't found that. So yeah, that's that's the That's a

(30:25):
short version of the cribby Baby, cry Baby, cry Baby
Bridge legend. But to answer your question about how you
know how much of it is true, I tend to
find that what we're contacted to go into people's homes
and in some cases they're businesses, there is something there.

(30:46):
Now as to what makes it stay there, I'm not
really sure. I'm of the belief that a ghost, whatever
they you know, whatever it is it's nothing more than
a form of energy. And you know, I base that
on the idea that we're all forms of energy, you know,
and you can't destroy the energy. You can change its form,

(31:08):
but you can't get rid of it. So okay, after
we pass, where does our energy go?

Speaker 6 (31:13):
So I'm kind of.

Speaker 17 (31:15):
The belief that that might be what we collectively say
is a ghost. Now, the whole idea of you can
hear ghosts talking and picking you up and throwing you
downstairs and all that stuff, I have no idea how
that works, and it's very very rare that I actually
even encounter that.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
So have you encountered Have you ever encountered like bleeding
walls or flies or you know that odd thing where
a cold comes into a room, or that type of
thing where you hear about a possession in a house
like it was the film was the entity, which allegedly
was supposed to be about something legit, where something that
was possessing or in the home or still there sparedly

(31:56):
right with somehow molesting or causing harm to people in
the house, including a woman.

Speaker 17 (32:01):
So I've never encountered anything that extreme. And I willingly
tell people that if I walked into a house and
the wall started bleeding and something told me to get out.

Speaker 6 (32:11):
I'm gonna leave.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yeah, I mean exactly why do people not I never
understood that. I'm serious.

Speaker 17 (32:17):
I'm with you, Yeah, I'm not. I don't mess around
with that because at that point, I'm like, if it
has the.

Speaker 6 (32:24):
Power to do that, what's it going to do to me?

Speaker 17 (32:26):
So I don't even when I do investigations, I don't
challenge the ghost to do something, because one, I think
that's kind of rude, but I'm like, well, what if
it does do something, you know, how am I gonna
stop it?

Speaker 6 (32:38):
So I've I've come.

Speaker 17 (32:41):
There's been numerous times where I've gone into locations and yes,
I've felt like coal breezes. There was one particular case
where the temperature in one spot at the end of
a hallway dropped about thirty degrees in thirty seconds, and
we were able to track it moving down the hallway

(33:01):
towards us, even though we couldn't see anything, and when
it got close to me, specifically, all of our electrical
the cameras and stuff failed and then I just felt
a cold breeze go past me and go down the stairs.

Speaker 6 (33:18):
That's a little weird. We know that it's not. We've
had instances where we use.

Speaker 17 (33:25):
Infrared thermometers to try to detect changes, and basically it's
a glorified like laser site type of thing. But we've
had the beams stop in mid air, which usually needs
something kind of dense, at least dense enough that you
could see it.

Speaker 6 (33:43):
But it's just hanging in mid air, and if you
move the.

Speaker 17 (33:46):
Beam to the left or to the right, for example,
the beam would then shoot out and hit the back
of the wall because the beam just goes until it
hits something solid or And I can't explain that that
there's something that has enough mass or density to stop
a laser, but I.

Speaker 6 (34:05):
Can't see it.

Speaker 17 (34:06):
So I've had instances like that, and for me, that's
what's exciting. It's like, that doesn't that doesn't fit, That shouldn't.

Speaker 6 (34:13):
Be doing that.

Speaker 17 (34:16):
But no, I'm kind of like with you, if anything
really weird to the level of flies, you know, being
attacked by that, or no, I'm out.

Speaker 6 (34:26):
You know.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
I think carcass rotting in a wall or in the
flu from the fireplace, a bird got stuck and it's decaying,
brings the flies.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
But if it's the bleeding walls, all this other stuff.
It crosses a line.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
James Willis, by the way, a guy behind the book
that came out a couple of years ago Legends in
Lawre series, which is the Southern Ohio Legends and lore.
So explain if you can, James Willis, what in our
part of the world is more haunted or known to
be where people can visit or find out more about
it besides the book. I'm just saying in Jenner because
you always hear these stories like Lucasville Penitentiary, you know

(34:58):
what a saying, asilunce mental health facilities, those type of things,
and I rarely hear it like Spring Grove Cemetery or
something like that. You don't hear people necessarily talk about
where I would think they'd be hanging out, which is
where the dead bodies are kept generally, which is the cemetery.

Speaker 6 (35:16):
I would counter that with. So if let's just say that.

Speaker 17 (35:20):
You know, Heaven forbid, but we were to pass away
this evening and we were allowed to come back, I
don't think you're going to be hanging around a cemetery.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
That's probably true to.

Speaker 6 (35:32):
Freak people out.

Speaker 17 (35:33):
So you know, I tend to think that unless I
can find evidence to substantiate, which I have found over
the years. I have found that, unfortunately, there have been
several murders that took place in Ohio cemeteries that to
me would be like, Okay, I could see why a
ghost might hang around there because it was their last

(35:53):
moments on earth. But to me, places like morgues, you know,
and cemeteries, you're kind of gone by that point in time.
So unless you have a morbid fascination like I do.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
And you go there now be hanging around them.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, I mean, I've taken tour like coroner's office in
those type of things, the morgue, et cetera. And it's
a little unnerving, but I mean, I think it's an
interesting process. James Willis, by the way, founder director ghost
of Ohio dot Org, author I mentioned a bunch of
these weird Ohio, weird Indiana, et cetera. All these other
things were short on time, and we maybe do another
segment in the future on this. So you mentioned the

(36:27):
idea of being killed or so a bad death, a
bad way to die, a tragic and more likely where
ghost or their their spirits may be lingering where they
they're trying to do what before they can move on,
or they're sticking around to make other people's lives hell
or what.

Speaker 6 (36:47):
I kind of like all of those.

Speaker 17 (36:48):
But no, my research is actually fine, and again it's
just sort of my opinion on it. But I think
that any time there is a violent or a sudden
change in the energy if you will, that you know,
be it a murder or a car crash or something,
that that energy is going to linger there for whatever reason.

(37:08):
I've done a lot of cases where right after a
car crash that we ended up, the people started reported
seeing a ghost standing by the side of the road
where the crash was. Over time, that faded away to
the point where it was probably about three years ago,

(37:30):
there are no reports of that ghost being there. So
again going back to the idea that it's a form
of energy, so maybe it is there for a short
period of time and then it just sort of gets
absorbed into something else. But to answer your question, ANSW,
I found places like battlefields and car accidents or murders

(37:51):
and those sort of places, any place where you've got
the final moments, I think that energy, in my opinion,
seems to linger there for whatever gotcha.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
So this is way interesting to me, and I have
some relatives and some friends who is even the discussion
of this or talk of this in general. They run
from it. They say that it's somehow not appropriate, that
the spirit world in some fashion is bad. And what
do you say to someone who has that type of
view before we let you balance? Because I find that

(38:21):
to be interesting too. As much as like the Ouiji board,
I don't want anything to do with the Wigi board, right,
does it just creek me out?

Speaker 17 (38:29):
It's very It kind of works both at the beginning
of an investigation and like the end in that I
always want to find out what their beliefs are, be
it mainly religious beliefs, but also spiritual beliefs, because to
your point, a lot of people say, that's not a ghost,

(38:49):
that's something disguised as a ghost, because it's going to
try to do bad things. That if that was a
good person, it's gone where it needs to be. It
shouldn't be hanging around here, so don't interact with it.
That's necromancy. But the flip side of that is a
lot of people will have us come out to their
home and they'll say, we think there is something here,

(39:10):
can you get rid of it? And I put it
back on them because I'm like.

Speaker 6 (39:13):
Well, what are your beliefs?

Speaker 17 (39:16):
Because I can give you a whole bunch of different
people you can talk to that will be able to
potentially get rid.

Speaker 6 (39:21):
Of it, but you kind of have to have faith
for that to work.

Speaker 17 (39:25):
You know, it would make no sense if I send
somebody in who didn't have faith in that actually working.

Speaker 6 (39:31):
So it's I just kind of respect people's you know
what they are.

Speaker 17 (39:34):
I mean a lot of it comes from the fact
that when people say, oh, you look for ghosts, they
immediately go to the yellers and screamers on the TV
and YouTube and stuff, and they get a really distorted
impression of me. Yea, And I'm like, it's not like
that at all. But you know, it's fine. You're entitled

(39:55):
to your opinion.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
I really appreciate you taking time. I hope you'll come
back and we can talk a little bit more. Get
some other people involved in the conversation as well. Love
it fantastic again. It's James Willis. He's the guy behind
ghost of Ohio dot Org, Weird Ohio, Weird Indiana, on
and on it goes thank you for making time. I
hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. And I
guess this is the season for what you do in

(40:17):
many ways, so take care of yourself.

Speaker 6 (40:19):
It is it isn't good.

Speaker 17 (40:20):
Thank you very much, Take care of hieen.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Have you Halloween ten o'clock report coming up, but we'll
talk on Lance In a huge award for him tonight,
plus Kevin Carr talking movies, and a whole lot more
on alex Igan. I'm so sorry we're so late. Bearkats

here Sterling seven hundred W WELLW Cincinnati likes the goods, Hiks.

Speaker 18 (40:44):
For sure, Eddie here for Loan Pronto. Are you trapped
in a high rate mortgage?

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Hey?

Speaker 18 (40:50):
Look stop right now. At Loan Pronto. They are delivering
the lowest mortgage rates in the store.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Whatever else, they've had Halloween stuff up since basically July fourth.
It seems like Christmas is also there in somewhere. Thanksgiving
is tucked in as well. Because we have a lot
to be grateful for a lot of ground to cover
this fine Friday night, and I am grateful and thankful
for Kevin Carr fat guys at the movies. He's the
sober gecko on substack sober Gecko dot substack dot com.

(41:17):
I think your way to find him there. Welcome back
to seven hundred Wluw Kevin, How are you? How is everything?

Speaker 6 (41:23):
Everything's good?

Speaker 7 (41:24):
And I want to let you know when you do
go in the hardware store, the chainsaws are there year round.
They're not just Halloween decoration.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
It's very true, it is.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
I remember the first time going to a hundred houses,
a tiny sterling and somebody had the you know, the
chainsaw there without obviously the chain thankfully, and I remember
about crapping my pants at that point.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
So yeah, that's it.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Can at some point it doesn't become quite it's not
as scary unless you think somebody didn't handle their business right.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Well yeah, but still it's.

Speaker 7 (41:54):
Loud, and if you're not expecting it coming up, it's
you know, it's like it's like cocking a shotgun. It's
this sound that, even though it's not a natural sound,
we are ingrained to be afraid of it.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
Jesse James Duprees made a living of cutting up like
barstools all over the country, and his ban jackal all
over the place, and and that's all done in fun
and in tune, which who would have known you could
use a chainsaw that way. Before we get to chainsaw stuff,
I want to talk. I know there's Halloween stuff, and
we want to get into some of the genre stuff
and because there's different types and people can think about

(42:27):
this and then maybe we'll turn it into a driver
conversation of like monsters, this possession. There's a variety of
themes for scary type movies, which I think sort of
fits topic wise. But you saw the Bosses movie, or
at least a movie about the boss Spruce Springsteen, which
is it does it deliver Me?

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Deliver Me from No.

Speaker 7 (42:48):
Deliver Me from Nowhere? Which is I believe based on
it's a book. It's a based on a book about them.
The movie is called Springsteen Deliver Me from Nowhere, just
because otherwise the name doesn't quite it's not like the
name of one of his songs or you know something
that's like super well known, and maybe it isn't. I
don't know his full catalog, but you know, it's.

Speaker 6 (43:07):
It's it is.

Speaker 7 (43:09):
It's not necessarily a full bio pick too, it's it's
sometimes they do these ones that like sort of capture
a time in his life, and it's when he was
recording Nebraska, his nineteen eighty two acoustic album, right before
he did Born in the USA, which came I think
like two years later, and that of course put him
into global stardom. A song that is always miss construed

(43:34):
by politicians and people running county affairs and that sort
of thing because it is not a patriotic anthem. It's
actually sort of a lamenting of the treatment of the
Vietnam vets and also sort of just just sort of
the crumbling American dream in the eighties at the time.
So that's what that song's about.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
It.

Speaker 7 (43:55):
It just has a very patriotic sounding chorus, but it's
not even really about that, although he do do a
nice recreation of them recording it, so that's you know
that they have to do that sort of a needle drop.
But really it's about Springsteen. I wouldn't say early in
his career he was known, but he wasn't the mega

(44:16):
superstar that he became Afterborn Born in the USA, And
it's about him sort of dealing with what some of
his problems are, coming to terms with things that happened
in his childhood with his family and trying to get
his life on the right path. In the fact, he
also struggled with depression, and so that's addressed as well,
but it's more of that snapshot for that eight or

(44:37):
ten months where he was developing the album.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
Well, that's an inside looking a different way. And I
know he just did a tour.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
I don't know if he's still out there doing it
or not, where he was sort of doing the story thing,
which I think they made into a film too, right.

Speaker 7 (44:49):
He did that way, I think, so, yeah, yeah, he
had he had. I don't know if he if he
finished touring.

Speaker 6 (44:54):
I mean, you never know.

Speaker 7 (44:55):
With some of these artists, they're like, I'm going to
do another farewell tour. But I mean he's heavily promoting
this now, so so that's what he's sort of focused on.
And Jeremy Allen White from The Bear, Yeah, plays him
as as a younger man. Also not a comedy this movie,

(45:16):
which some would argue The Bear isn't either.

Speaker 6 (45:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (45:21):
Yeah, I mean it's it's always put in a comedy category,
but a lot of people say, well, it's not really
a comedy anyways. He's good at it. He does smolder
a bit too much. You know, he kind of over
you know, they say to chew the scenery. He kind
of smolders the scenery and a lot of his things.
He's kind of posing as as a Springsing, but he
doesn't find job acting. It's not perfect. It has some

(45:42):
some valleys along.

Speaker 5 (45:43):
With the hills.

Speaker 7 (45:44):
I mean, if you're a huge Springsing fan, you're gonna
love like the recreation of some of the songs and
performances and sort of the deep cut into the background
of what inspired him into Nebraska and how he developed
it and sort of what he had to go through.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (46:00):
So it's it's it's really more made for the fan
of Springsteen. It's not a perfect biopick, but you know,
it's it's it's it's a well done movie. It certainly
had some really good performances.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Talking to Kevin Carr, he's from Silver Gucko on Substack,
Fat guys at the movies about this new biopic sort of,
I guess is what you call it?

Speaker 4 (46:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (46:19):
Sure, Uh this is Springsteen delivered me from nowhere. So
here's what I'm curious about. As far as the performances
are concerned. Does this band play of actors or is
it the Springsteen music with the actors acting like they're playing,
Because I mean, you got like Brian Chase playing Max Weinberg,
who's a great plug obviously, the drummer Steve van Zant,

(46:39):
who Steve van Dants been tremendous and uh an actor
on his own right, but obviously can't play being a
young man anymore because he's not. Uh tell tell me
and and let us know what we're looking at here.

Speaker 7 (46:52):
Well, you know, I don't know whether they're playing the
actual instruments or if they're just doing it for the
for the or if they had the original people play it,
or if they had professional musicians play it and then
they just pantomime it to go in there. I'm pretty
I mean, Jeremy Allen White certainly sings yeahs as Bruce Springsteen.

Speaker 6 (47:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (47:12):
I'm actually I'll bet you there's a movie like this.
They always have like behind the scenes stuff, so you
can certainly check YouTube for that. But it's a lot
less about his band. It's a lot less about the musician.
In fact, a lot of them don't even have lines.
It's more about him dealing with the record. I guess

(47:35):
sort of. His manager is played by Jeremy Strong, who
does a really good job in the movie as well,
and that really he's more sort of like the focal
point of Springsteen's support.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
System Dodgers John Landah, I remember correctly. I'm just I'm
always interested when the sort of look back on all this,
Mark Marin's in it. Who I mean, that guy's great
from doing stand up and what an acting career that
guy has turned out to have.

Speaker 19 (47:57):
Seriously, Yeah, well he's of those things.

Speaker 7 (48:00):
When you say Mark Maron, most people think of his
podcast and maybe if you're from if you remember the nineties,
he did like he did stand up specials and he
did I think he had a TV show on Comedy
Central way back in the day where he interviewed other
comics that might have been Paul Provenza.

Speaker 6 (48:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (48:17):
They just kind of stick in my mind there. But
when you think about it, Oh, yeah, he's been in
a bunch of stuff in you know, because he was
in he was in the.

Speaker 19 (48:25):
Wrestling show Glow with a Glow or whatever it was. Yeah, yeah,
with Alison Brie and uhh, yeah, there's two big reasons
I like her.

Speaker 7 (48:37):
But there's He's done a lot of things. And what's
so funny about him is when when you see him
finally he plays the recording engineer and he's there and
he doesn't have a line for like two or three scenes,
and then he starts talking at one point because you
know it's about that. But I'm like, is that.

Speaker 6 (48:53):
Is that Mark Maron?

Speaker 7 (48:54):
Or is that's what? He just looks like Mark Maren
because they haven't given him.

Speaker 6 (48:56):
A line yet.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
The background guy, Jenny I having, of course, big record executive,
has been around forever in a day and worked with everybody,
it seems like. And he plays himself in this movie,
which everybody else is somebody else, but he plays that's
kind of wild too. So I'm looking forward to seeing this.
Is it worth seeing or not?

Speaker 7 (49:15):
Well? I mean, certainly you certainly have some deep cuts
into the background of the recording session. I mean, there
are different types of people. You know, there's the casual fan.
There's the people who listened to Bruce Springsteen but couldn't
tell you anybody who's in his band or who played
on this stuff. But then there's I mean, and you
have a much higher level of knowledge of who is
who behind the scenes. So it's definitely gonna, I think,

(49:38):
resonate for you guys. It will still resonate for the
people who don't know any better. But for somebody who
does know that inside baseball behind it, you know, like you,
I would suggest.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
You go see it down the car by the way.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Silver Gecko on SUBSTACKA was stirling on the Big One
talking about the Springsteen movie. You know what's interesting is
as a kid, I heard Springsteen a lot, and I
got annoyed with it and tired of it and hated
him because he was everywhere and I was annoyed, and
I was at at that point as an adolescent where
I wanted my own stuff, to find my own music
and turn over the rocks and find stuff. Then later

(50:09):
on I've become a little bit more familiar and more
enjoying I guess his creativity and the story, songs and
all the stuff behind it. So, I mean, but early on,
if somebody, if I'd been like sixteen years old and
somebody said, yeah, there's this new Springsteen movie, I would
have told him where to go, and it wouldn't have
been anywhere nice, I promise.

Speaker 7 (50:28):
Well, it's funny because you like Bruce Springsteen is such
a you hear him, and you hear it's Bruce Springsteen immediately,
they hear a unique sound and a unique voice, and
he has that real blue collar, heavy, you know, rissing
tones that are going on in his music, and you
could there are fans and people who are fans, and

(50:49):
then there I think there are people who you only
listen to so much and then you're like, Okay, I
kind of have to move on and do something else,
like reading too many Stephen King books in a row,
and you'll be like, Okay, I kind of need a
break from, you know, and I want to want.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
Something mindless exactly.

Speaker 7 (51:04):
It's something that's kind of heavy.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
And you know what's bewildering. We talked about this for years.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
I still think in a lot of ways, Stephen King
is popular and successful and as much bank as that
guy has made, uh is somehow underrated for what he's
done over the year. It is spectacular, It really is well.

Speaker 7 (51:22):
And what's so funny with Stephen King, you know, when
now we're moving away from you know, movies into books
and recording industry. In the books is every author, every
artist fails at becoming what they want to be, and
Stephen King is a great example of that. He I
don't think he ever wanted this career for himself in

(51:43):
the early days. Most writers believe they are literary and
they want to be the next uh, you know, they
want to be a remembered name. They don't want to
be what he has always described as his stuff as
as the the literary equivalent of a big mac is
with Stephen King would say, and he's like, oh, I

(52:04):
just kind of crap out these horror stories. And he
really wanted to be somebody you want to be Jeffrey
Archer and not Stephen King. And he one of his
favorite authors was John D. McDonald, who's kind of tough
to read. It's very hard boy of detective type of stuff,
and he's so much breezier and easier to read than
McDonald's work. So I think it's I find it interesting

(52:25):
that there's always somebody when you find something that made
that that puts you on the map and that you're
known for, there's always that artist inside the artist trying
to resent that. We you know, Arthur Conan Doyle hated
Charlock Coombs, trying to kill him off.

Speaker 6 (52:41):
A couple of times.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
So did the characters too, which I guess he created. Yeah,
so it makes sense my management of time.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
By the way, Marvel's the great Marvin Lewis, who is
now doing play by play I think for NFL on
radio and stuff, the former Bengals coach. Because I wanted
to talk a little bit about horror movie genre being
a Halloween season next Friday Halloween. There's phobias, there's monsters,
there's slasher films, and we're gonna take some calls on
the other side. But in about a minute to two

(53:10):
minutes time, Kevin Carr, tell me what you think are
the best type of genres or you know where people
go because it changes and there's a variety of them.

Speaker 7 (53:20):
Yeah. Well, and the thing is, it depends on what
you're wanting from a horror movie. You know, if you
just want to have fun, I like the the good
old classic classic monsters, you know, the ones that that
are more fun, fairy tale type things, Dracula, Frankenstein, that
sort of stuff. You know, the heavy duty real life
true crime and stuff like The Strangers that that that
is a little unpleasant to me. It's a lot of

(53:41):
a lot of what you see as a kid, but
I like to have fun with my horror. I like
to be entertained, and it's more like a roller coaster
ride than you know, a trip to the dentist.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
Yeah, yeah, I totally get that.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Immediately as soon as you said it, I winced and
could almost in my head hear the sentence, which I
can replicate, thankfully.

Speaker 7 (54:01):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
I've talked about the phobia stuff a little bit in
the psychological things where it gets in in the plausible
where it could possibly happen.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
H So you know that's always the stuff too that
goes with it.

Speaker 4 (54:13):
Ahead.

Speaker 7 (54:14):
I always gonna absolute favorite genre subgenre is people in
a lab trying to do something to help humanity and
having go horribly awry. Do that on a spaceship even better?

Speaker 2 (54:24):
Oh yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
I like that, And then when they bring stuff back
from space that then causes problems with then just goes
back to Stephen King and creep Show with the green
stuff in the original. Yeah, he's Kevin Carr. You can
read him. He'll show up in your mailbox. He does
comics with Blockheads, Silver Gecko dot Substack dot com. Thank
you very much for making time and enjoy the rest
of your weekend. All right, thank you, take care of

(54:46):
yourself your ten thirty reports. Straight away. We'll talk horror movies.
A whole lot of other ground to cover, including eating magnets. Magnets,
not maggots, but well both would be somewhat troubling now
that I think about it.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
It's sterling coming back here. Seven hundred double LW.

Speaker 9 (55:02):
Listening to a woman shop in the produce section isn't funny?

Speaker 4 (55:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (55:06):
A sail on cucumbers.

Speaker 11 (55:07):
Listening to a woman poot next to the Granny.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
Smiths ooops is funny.

Speaker 11 (55:13):
Eddie and Rocky are also funny.

Speaker 9 (55:15):
So when you think of an apple farter oops, think
of Eddie and Rocky.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
Eddie and Rocky.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
So for twenty bucks or two hundred dollars two thousand,
I don't know how you value it. Would you be
willing to call up some cash to get a piece
of American history the White House East Wing and rubble
torn down pile a debris looks like any other construction
destruction site where a building's been raised for something new
to rise from the ground. And they call it a

(58:03):
red and gray scripe, a mess, whatever.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
You want to call it. Here's what I want to know.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
Would you buy a piece of American history in the
little bit of that East Wing? I don't know how
it could be corroborated, how it could be authenticated. Maybe
the money could go to help pay down national debt
or feed the Hungary or something along those lines. Give
you a chance to sound off on that, because I
was thinking about it. That's a big pile of trash.
And I can remember being a young sterling. By the way,
how you doing it's sterling hanging out Alex Egan producing

(58:33):
Travis Laird with eleven o'clock report about twenty one minutes
away from right now, an update on what else is
going on around the tri State. And I flashed back
to being a kid when the Berlin Wall fell. And
if you are of a certain age, you know this.
And if you're not, you may have a grandparent or
a parent, or maybe an older sibling or maybe you're
a collector. There was a period of time I can

(58:55):
recall they were selling what was supposed to be pieces
of the Berlin Wall.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
I'm not sure where the money was going.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
I'm not sure that it was. And this was my
question even then, how the hell do you know? How
can you prove that that was a piece of the
Berlin Wall? The same way how could you know if
it were in fact a piece of what was the
east wing of the White House. A lot of people
are very upset about it. They don't like the idea

(59:23):
of the super sized ballroom. We've heard all the complaints
to go with and I'm just wondering where your head
is on this five three, seven, four, nine, eight hundred,
the big one. You can talk back on the iHeartRadio app.
I know that my grandmother used to have like commemorative coins,
and she had like these plates. I don't know when
you cross the line and what age it is where

(59:43):
people are in fact wanting to embrace these type of
things as they reminisce or things that matter them. You
can get presidential plates, I mean all these type of
different things. People buy them. Sometimes they think it's an investment, right.
I don't even talk about like currents or whatever else,
old silver certificates or commemorative coins with the president's head

(01:00:04):
on it, different than what would be if you went
down to like the UDF and wanted to buy an
ice cream or a frozen yogurt or whatever, and you've
dropped out some cash or change on your hand that way,
and if that somebody spending those commemorative coins that way,
then they're dump. But that being said five point three
seven four nine seven eight hundred, the big one. If

(01:00:25):
you're on the iHeartRadio app, you can talk back by
clicking on that microphone leave a message there. I'm also
on x or Twitter, whatever you want to call it
at Stirling Radio. I mean, I don't know if you
pick a dollar amount of choice, if it were to
go to charity or food bank in the midst of
what is some food insecurity prime time right now with
more and more people including military families and so forth,

(01:00:47):
looking to go to food banks, maybe they sell some
of that demolished East Wing to raise funds to help
put food on the table or food in food banks,
or the SNAP program or one of these other things
to be able to help feed some children or feed
people in need, and at the same time give you
something that you can have in your mantle or you

(01:01:08):
could have in some type of box on the wall,
to say, that's a piece of American history, that's the
East Wing. And not only do you have that great
thing as a memento that you maybe want to pass
down to other generations, it's also something that can help
benefit to people by way of putting food on their
plate or raising money for some other type of good cause.

(01:01:30):
I don't think that's necessarily a far shot from what
could be done. I mean, what else are they going
to do with that? Do they have a plan for
all of this, of all the stuff, I've heard people
upset that they think it was a butchery and it
wasn't approved in the historical society and everything else that
goes along with it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
That's a big pile of rubble.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
I would imagine there'd be a whole lot of people
willing to get a piece of that history. I would
imagine a whole lot of people would be happy to
do that. I other than the you know, the whole
odd idea of authenticity and knowing that it wasn't that
in somebody you know who gathered up some garbage from
a demo site and decided to go online and sell

(01:02:13):
it themselves as if it were a secondary market thing.
I mean, people buy knockoffs all the time. You you know,
you hear people, oh they got they got a Gucci bag,
or they got whatever it is that they happen to
be into, and they go, well, it looks a lot
like it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
It's close enough.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
You hear a you know, Cincinnati CVG, you hear the
Port of Cincinnati, and you hear all these places inbound
from Canada or elsewhere or elsewhere, or you hear when
they you know, they've somehow calme across a cargo container
that was filled with knockoff shoes or clothes or pick
a thing, even you know, memorabilia from say like the

(01:02:49):
Bengals or you know a Major League baseball whatever else. Uh,
that's knockoff because there's a market for people who want
to get their hands on it, and they don't necessarily
care whether it's legit, or maybe they're a sucker and
they get duped. I mean, if you're going to call
up some serious hard earned cash, you might want to

(01:03:09):
know exactly what you're getting. But I mean, I think
maybe that's something that the government should do. It is
the people's house. It is we the people's house. Americans
already paid for it, So why not get a piece
of that history. I mean, it's been finished, it's knocked down.
They're waiting at this point, you know, to see the

(01:03:31):
upgrade in that ninety thousand square foot ballroom that will
sooner than.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
Later be there.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
That part of the house was built in nineteen oh two,
during Teddy Roserbilt's time in office. It was completed in
the forties. It took some time. In a blink of
an eye, down it went. So I mean, I think
this is that's monumental. I think that's something that a
lot of Look, my late great uncle Milan had a

(01:04:00):
ton of like old seven up bottles, and I think
he might have had some hw to pull beer cans,
as well as some others that were commemorating like Bengals
wins and games and Ohio State football games and wins
and a lot of other stuff. So, I mean, what's
the difference between that and a broken brick or a

(01:04:23):
piece of a floorboard or something along those lines. I
would say that maybe this has more intrinsic value. My
uncle loved that stuff. I remember going down to his
basement as a kid looking at all of it. I
wasn't supposed to touch it. I remember also listening to
like old Red Fox records that were supposed to be
off limits, but the stereo was there and knew how
to put the needle on the record. And Red Fox,

(01:04:45):
by the way, was not the same Red Fox at
that point that you may have seen on reruns of
the Sanford and Son. It was a totally different Red Fox.
I remember being a little kid going ooh, I understand
why I'm not supposed to be listening to this, and
looking at all those old plates and stuff too. So
maybe a brick, maybe something along those lines. Five went three, seven, four, nine, seven,

(01:05:05):
eight hundred, the big one, your chance to get interactive.
Something else coming up I want to get into. This
is pretty wild. Most of us have had either when
we were kids, or maybe your own children, or you've
known someone. If you work in an urgent care or
an emergency room intake on a regular basis, you will
come across individuals who have hurt themselves or consumed things

(01:05:31):
that you kind of go, how is that even possible?

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
How did that happen?

Speaker 4 (01:05:35):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:05:36):
You hear all these other stories about stuff being you know,
stuffed in places that are supposed to be exit only,
and then they come up with, I don't I accidentally
sat on it. No, I don't think you accidentally sat
on a light bulb and had to go up your butt.
But that being said, the idea, I mean, I can
remember I swallowed a staple of some sort that was

(01:05:57):
from the furniture store my mom worked in that was
used for like the dust covers in some of the
understuff when they would do like sofas and love seats
and those type of things. And I was just a
kid on my back flipping those staples up in the air,
and at some point I lost one and it ended
up in my mouth and I choked and coughed, and
then I had to I was on bowl watch. I

(01:06:18):
knew it was serious. I knew I was in trouble,
and I knew it could be a bad scenario, so
I was not happy about having to tell mom what happened.
Then we went to the doctor and then they were like, well,
you know, you've got to watch because this stuff could
tear up your insides on the way out, so you
better hope that you hear the tink of the toilet commode. Otherwise,

(01:06:40):
if you don't hear that tink on the porcelain of
that staple ending up there, we're going to have to
go in and get it, because that means it's hung
up in your insides, and that can lead to all
kinds of bad stuff, which leads me to today's headline
from a CBS News but it's also been published in
the New Zealand Medical Journal. I remember hearing about a

(01:07:01):
lot of this with kids in the States not long ago,
where they had these toys for kids with a lot
of magnets, and they had a thirteen year old boy
that was hospitalized, not because he accidentally ate them, but
apparently he did it to do it dozens of what
they called high powered magnets that ended up becoming a

(01:07:22):
serious problem, and it ended up being lost. He had
part of his bow lost because the magnets continue to do.
What they do is they go through and then they
stick together can't be removed. They catch up your insides
and then your bowel is a major problem. They didn't
identify the kid, but they say he ate between eighty

(01:07:43):
and one hundred magnets five by two millimeters each, So
that's a whole lot of magnets in his gut. The
X rays disturbing to say the least. So in the
midst of whether you want to buy a piece of
history or not, I'm kind of curious of what type
of mishap you may have had or your kid has
had swallowing something that they shouldn't have that maybe got

(01:08:05):
them in trouble. What they showed in this X ray
is all these magnets in a perfect line, hooking up
with each other, thankfully as they were attracted to each
other what looks to be probably eight to ten inches long,
and then one that had like a right turn, and
it was in that way. Not easy to pass that
kind of thing, and I would, I mean, that's a

(01:08:27):
problem if you're just popping magnets the way you would
pop PEVs or a mint. I mean, that's some type
of disorder. And they call these magnets of safety risk,
no kidding, and I know in some places they've outlawed
them because of that. Magnets are fun. I mean I
remember as a kid goofing off and playing with mercury,

(01:08:50):
which was a bad idea. Mercury is not good for you.
It can cause all types of horrible, bad problems. So
you know, maybe exactly exactly because I dropped a magnet
on the floor as a latchke kid, and then I
was like, I gotta get this off the floor. And
then it was wow. It was like bubbling and separating
and we became like a big nightmare. Today it would

(01:09:12):
be a hazmat thing. They Cincinnati fired show up and
then they'd lock down the house and put like, you know,
a tent around it or something ridiculous. And even in
high school, and this is the late eighties, they they
allowed us to mess with mercury and like chemistry class
as I recall, and there was a mishap. I don't

(01:09:33):
know that they allowed that stuff now in and around
the school. So let's get the pleasant ridge here and
we'll start it off five one, three, seven, eight hundred
the Big One. Josh, what's going on? There was sterling
on the Big One.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
What do you have?

Speaker 24 (01:09:46):
Yeah about I'm forty eight. So at twenty one we
were doing shots at tequila and I eight three roofing nails?
What ripping nail per shot at?

Speaker 11 (01:10:00):
Like yeah, so don't really do anything.

Speaker 25 (01:10:03):
I went to I went to the hospital like the
next day because they were galvanized. I was more worried
about that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
So, so how is it that you swallowed them? Because
I can't imagine how they made it down your throat
let alone you.

Speaker 24 (01:10:17):
Esophagals, well little roof and nails.

Speaker 25 (01:10:22):
I mean, I got it done.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It was just crazy. So
what happened? How did they get them out?

Speaker 24 (01:10:28):
Well?

Speaker 25 (01:10:28):
I just went to it was so old. It was
deacon that hospital if you remember that. Ye, yeah, and
uh there was only two in my stomach and the
x ray and same as your stable. There was just
a bull watch. So you just had like yeah, and
it gave me like a number that if I felt
like a stabbing pain in my intestine or something. But yeah,

(01:10:49):
they just came out.

Speaker 26 (01:10:51):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
See that that's crazy. Now was it a big bet
or was it just drunken? And I'll do it if
you will do.

Speaker 25 (01:10:56):
It wasn't a bet. It wasn't a bet at all.
It was just a college.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
Idiots sounds like my friends. That's tremendous, Josh. I'm glad
you've survived. It's a great story to tell me, and
thank you. I appreciate it. Quick Break will come back.
Have you done something similar? What about your kids? From
magnets to roofing nails. That's up there. Me with the
sofa staple batteries. With the kids, that's a lot of batteries.

(01:11:21):
I mean, I don't that kid needs some therapy, is
what I'm trying to say. I mean, at what point
do you go? I'd like to eat one one, let
me see what two does. Let me put it through.
I mean, that's a lot of I don't know, quick
break come back. It's a Friday night Stirling hanging out

pretty amazing. Joe Nuxall one of the most decent people
I have ever met in my life.

Speaker 2 (01:12:23):
No longer with us, of course.

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
He and Marty Brenneman called Red Game the reds Games
Forever Knucksall legend of his own playing baseball. Is basically
a kid as he started out, a long time read
and just good human being in all the charitable work
in and around the tri States, just spectacular. Earlier tonight
in Fairfield at the Oscar Center, R Lance McAllister got

(01:12:50):
himself some love, respect, adulation and an honor among honors
that is pretty just a spectacular, which is the Joe
Knucksall Humanitarian Award winner, which he was tonight and I'm looking.
David d Armbrewster sent me this video short one with
a big beer stein or mug with Lance's face on it,

(01:13:15):
and it's a beautiful thing. So he, in fact is
the twenty twenty five Joe Nugsaw Humanitarian Award winner. So
congratulations to or Lance another just great human being to
be honest, so very good. Hats off to him. It's
a big weekend. We got at Bengals hosting the Jets.
The Bengals of course looking to get back to even
with Flacco behind center. We'll talk a conversation a little

(01:13:37):
bit earlier I had with James Rapine from Cincinnati Bengals
talk were coming up in about thirty five minutes or so,
talking about that matchup, as well as the Ring of Honor,
which Dave Lapham of course getting some love in respect there.
And another guy who I didn't know a whole lot
about Lamar Parrish leaping Lamar Parish and I talked to

(01:14:00):
Chick about him since the word came that he was
going to be honoredor as well getting some love and
attention for what he accomplished, and seemingly just everybody has
such great things to say about that guy too. And
then our Tony Pike of course from ESPN fifteen point thirty,
getting some love and attention and everything that goes with
that as a part of the UC Sports Hall of Fame.

(01:14:23):
And of course I think it's homecoming this weekend, right,
And you got a Bearcats in action tomorrow afternoon, which
is why I'm not here tomorrow afternoon. So yeah, and
you'll hear him calling the game as well, along with
Dan Hord and Moe doing his part. And then of
course Dan Horde does it again on Sunday handling all
the stuff that goes along with that with Lapham calling

(01:14:44):
that game against the Jets. So yeah, a lot of
groundcovered in a short amount of time. There no straight away,
another hour to go, lots of ground to cover. It's
a Friday night here home. Oh oh, I'll mention this World
Series going on, and I am sort of shocked, but
it's the best seven World Series. Game one in Toronto
Blue Jays hammering the Dodgers. It's eleven to four and

(01:15:07):
there was a Grand Slam, multiple other home runs, and
we'll see if the buzz saw that the Dodgers have
shown themselves to be throughout the playoffs and most of
the season as they look to repeat, can find their
way again. But tonight, I mean they got a ways
to go. It's the top of the eighth anything could
happen or not. Time for news right here. Seven hundred

News Traffic and Weather News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati.

Speaker 15 (01:15:34):
It's day twenty four of the shutdown. Airport delays arising
n paychecks are being missed. It's your eleven thirty report.
I'm Travis Laird breaking now.

Speaker 20 (01:15:45):
The average on a day is about five percent of
our delays would come from staffing.

Speaker 4 (01:15:52):
Shortages with their traffic controllers.

Speaker 11 (01:15:54):
We've gone up as high as.

Speaker 16 (01:15:56):
Fifty three percent of the delays have been because of
staffing shortages.

Speaker 15 (01:16:00):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. On October third, Republican Marjorie Taylor
Green said the Senate could use the suit the nuclear option,
eliminating the filibuster and pass the budget with a simple majority,
which they presumably have. On October twenty, first Democrat John
Fetterman said he would back it. Most Senate Democrats want
talks to restore healthcare coverage that was eliminated in President

(01:16:23):
Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Republican leaders have refused to return
to negotiations. Republicans have also not used the nuclear option,
possibly because they lack the votes, want to keep the leverage,
or do not want to permanently eliminate the filibuster. Workers
wait for pay, Travelers wait at the gate. Now, let's
take a look at the latest traffic and weather together.

(01:16:43):
Still looks pretty nasty. Seventy five north at Paddock Road.
It's going real slow between Town Street and Ronald Reagan
on to seventy five West. You still got a travel
delay between Cole Rain and Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway.

Speaker 2 (01:16:54):
Sounds like they're close together.

Speaker 15 (01:16:55):
They are not two unrelated slow downs, but no major
accidents or slow downs to report throughout the tri State
this hour.

Speaker 11 (01:17:01):
Look out for each other, everybody now.

Congressman Dave Taylor visited Claremont County Jail to review a
possible partnership with ICE. Deputies in Claremont County soon able
to assist federal immigration agents under a new agreement that
they signed on Friday. Sheriff Christopher Stratton authorized a memorandum

(01:18:20):
of agreement with ICE to join its two to eight
to seven G Task Force program, a program already active
in Butler County allowing local deputies to help with federal
immigration arrests and transports under ICE oversight. The Sheriff's office
says the focus is on transparency, efficiency and accountability. So far,
twenty six inmates have been transferred to ICE. For more

(01:18:40):
are awaiting transfer after local charges are resolved. Delivery confusion
piling up all across northern Kentucky, where dozens of packages
are showing up at the wrong homes or not at all.
Residents in Alexandria say orders from major retailers are being
misplaced by speed X, a low cost courier used by
brands like Shan and Timu. Christina Camerer, who runs Hometown Shipping,

(01:19:03):
has turned her store into an unofficial package rescue center
after seeing hundreds of missdelivered boxes. She says there's no
way to contact Speedex directly, and reports of missing packages
now stretch from Walton to Independence. And police say a
man stabbed a woman multiple times in Marrimont before jumping
from the Purple People Bridge into the Ohio River on

(01:19:23):
Friday morning. Officers found the woman on Home One Road
around six twenty five in the morning with non life
threatening injuries. Newport police later encountered the suspect on the
bridge and he jumped into the water. River Rescue crews
from Cincinnati and Covington pulled him out and took him
to UC Medical Center with non life threatening injuries. He's
charged with felonious assault and domestic violence.

Halloween can be expensive and Goodwill's pitch is a big
savings on costumes for both kids and adults.

Speaker 26 (01:19:52):
Kids costumes are running anywhere from thirty to fifty dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:19:55):
Did you come here?

Speaker 26 (01:19:56):
We're running anywhere from seven dollars ten dollars.

Speaker 10 (01:20:00):
I'm Smith with Goodwill showing us the inventory here at
the Goodwill store in Tri County.

Speaker 26 (01:20:04):
Full gorilla suits costume for fourteen ninety nine. I mean,
I could do a quick Google search and I guarantee
you it's not going to be fourteen ninety nine coming
from coming from one of those Halloween costume shops.

Speaker 10 (01:20:15):
The cause is a good one because Smith says eighty
five cents if every dollar spedic Goodwill supports their charitable programs.

Final hour together find Friday Night the Nation station. What
you're listening to seven hundred WLW. Glad you're a long
conversation coming up after your eleven thirty before about thirty
minutes from right now, a little less than that. James Rapine,
Cincinnati Bengals talk on Talk Food Day, Ring of Honor,
weekend jets in town.

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
Questions, He's got answers, We'll have some fun.

Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
Also in the meantime, I had somebody just send me this,
So I'm gonna use a language of football, and I
often do in life. I like to call an audible.
So not Alex who's producing the show, but a different Alex.

Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
So I wasn't sure.

Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
Wasn't Alex Egan producing the show in the past, who
reaches out and always likes to contribute to the show
sent me this. What do you do when your wife, girlfriend, husband,
boyfriend leaves the house for a weekend or otherwise when
you got the house to yourself? And I suppose that
goes for parents when the kids are gone, or maybe
when you're kids teenagers.

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
We know how that went.

Speaker 1 (01:21:39):
When I was a teenager when the parents might be
out of town, I threw a small party at the
house is Sterling when my mom wasn't there. As a kid,
nothing big, because I saw what happened to other people's
houses in high school when they threw parties when their
folks were out of town, and it was insanity. It
was beddom, and I did not want that because I

(01:22:01):
knew what would follow that and I did not need
that type of stress or otherwise five pet three seven
four nine, seven, eight hundred, the big one, pick up
the phone, give it the fingers. My good friend mister
K used to say, talk back the iHeartRadio app and
also on x or Twitter at Stirling Radio. So, whether
you're married, single or otherwise, as a young person now

(01:22:22):
grown and what have you when you get would get
the house or when you get the house to yourself
when you don't normally have it, maybe somebody's on a
business trip, they're out of town for the weekend, whatever
it is.

Speaker 2 (01:22:33):
What is it that you do?

Speaker 1 (01:22:36):
Alex says that basically he sits around and does nothing
in his underwear, which I was very not on Alex
sagan the other not you not you right, the other alleys,
which I was a little disturbed. When I was looking
at at the message, I'm like, I think there was
no picture. But he said that's what he does. He
doesn't worry about getting up and getting cleaned up or anything.
He just sits around basically eats takeout food, et cetera.

(01:22:57):
Which I can kind of relate to that, But I
don't know to sit around in my underwear. I mean,
I like to get dressed and feel you know. I mean,
you know that's just me. But what do you do?
And I'm thinking about it. I mentioned the parties being thrown.
I know, sometimes there's a temperature battle. I've had this
with women in my life in the past. I like
it kind of crisp in the house, you know what

(01:23:20):
I mean. Like even last night I had like windows open,
like cracked in the bedroom a little bit because until
I woke up with my bald head freezing, I was like, oh,
hell no, that was a bad idea. And you get
to turn the furnace on or something. So I understand
that I will will adjust the thermostat and have adjusted
the thermostat, because I would not have the woman in

(01:23:40):
my life complaining about how cold it was in the
house the opposite. At times I like it warmer and
she does not, and that can be a battle. So
what do you do when you've got time away in
or there a way and you've got time to do
what it is that you'd like to do, or otherwise
one of these other And I search for this because

(01:24:00):
I was trying to figure out where Alex got this
and if he was just because he likes to contribute.
It was like, you live in this now or not.
He hasn't responded, so we'll see. He usually pings in
the midst of bringing this up. And I did a
search and there's a whole subculture of people who post
about this very issue. One guy says here that he
gets all and I totally understand this, and I would

(01:24:21):
have not thought this was I think this is standard anyway,
because it's what happens every night before you may go
to bed anyhow, whether it's the sofa or in the bedroom,
all the ornamental pillows that seem to be a collector's item.
It's not just the women in my life, thank god,
but I've seen this or you know, all the sofa
and you're not supposed to don't mess with those pillows,

(01:24:43):
don't use the pillow. It's just supposed to look pretty there.

Speaker 2 (01:24:46):
And then you know, like just get that crap off
the bed.

Speaker 1 (01:24:48):
I don't know, look at the TV on or off,
depending you know, sometimes I just like it quiet and
I can just you know, deal with the voices in
my head or whatever else that sort of goes along
with that. But I mean, I'll order food, I'll pick
it up, I'll hang out it sort of lay low
is what I kind of look at doing. Here's another
one says, my wife and son went with her parents

(01:25:09):
for a weekend, do some family stuff or whatever else.
He rode the motorcycle, did what he wanted, ate where
he wanted, ate what he wanted, and got to watch wrestling,
which was nice. So yeah, there's one right there, So
what do you do? How do you deal with that?
Here's another one, turned the ac down. Well, you know,

(01:25:29):
now we're in like get the furnace on kind of
season if you haven't already had it checked out, tuned
up or otherwise. That's one of those things that comes
up on a regular basis. I mean I might have
multiple like screens on in like the office space, like
with games on like right now, World Series it's eleven
four blue Jays over the Dodgers in the bottom of

(01:25:50):
the eighth and blue Jay's threatening in with one out
and a runner on first. So I mean, maybe you're
paying attention to like more sports, or maybe you're ditch
that because you're not having to deal with that if
you're not into it, and stuff that sort of goes
along those lines. That's pretty common.

Speaker 2 (01:26:08):
In ways. That goes common.

Speaker 1 (01:26:10):
Thing here looking at a multiple list is ordering the
food that you really want to eat, which I think
is tremendous.

Speaker 2 (01:26:17):
Here's another one.

Speaker 1 (01:26:18):
Order a large piazza, all kinds of toppings and I
don't have to worry about the vegetables.

Speaker 4 (01:26:23):
Tremendous.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
And it doesn't say man or a woman on this,
but my guess is if it's it's probably a dude.
I don't know, and I like vegetables, but there are
times you want that meat lover's pie. Right in that
type of situation, I don't need green peppers. You may
not want all that other stuff in this case, that's
what this guy says. I'm assuming anyway, it's a guy
that would be into that type of situation. Here's another

(01:26:45):
the boys come over play poker, we drink and smoke stogies. Yeah, okay,
so that's a guy who's not normally maybe able to
have that happen at the house, but when the wife
is out of town, gets a chance to play around,
and that type of circumstance, I get it. Like tomorrow
you got UC football you can listen to on the
big One. You got FC Cincinnati and Columbus Crew getting

(01:27:09):
it on into the round of sixteen, and the MLS
playoff at TQ. Well, so if you're not going, you
can listen to ESPN fifteen thirty there. Maybe check that
out as well. I can totally see a lot of
that going on in that type of circumstance. If you're
lucky you have somebody with you that you will enjoy
the same things you do where you don't necessarily look
at it like finally you've got some freedom, like somehow

(01:27:32):
you've been living as a prisoner, you know, incarcerated in
some type of situation where you've been deprived of the
good life. The hope is that the person you're with
compliments it. But you know, if you've got kids, sometimes
when the kids aren't there, you get when they're away,
you get to play the same way the kids feel
when the parents are away. I mean, I totally remember

(01:27:54):
that feeling. It was like, oh, Mom's going to be
out of town, you know. But by the time I
was in a place to be alone on my own.
I was already working like a couple of jobs, like
after school or in the summer. So even if she
wasn't in town, I had other obligations and responsibilities. I
might have stayed out or gone to a party that
I wouldn't have when I was supposed to be home,

(01:28:15):
say as a teenager when I was working by one o'clock,
if I wasn't working later than one am, which would
have happened on occasion depending five point three seven four
ninety seven, eight hundred. The big one, your chance to
get interactive. So what do you do when the mouse
is away and you're the cat to play?

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
How do you live?

Speaker 1 (01:28:33):
You know, if they're not there to I guess the
limit your opportunity, I mean, And I would imagine it
works all the way around on this, whether it's kids,
whether it's adults, whether it's a significant other that's not around,
and so forth, in those things that you might actually
enjoy to go along with that too. So it's interesting
to see how that plays out. Quick break, we'll come

(01:28:54):
back give you a chance to sound off on that
as well. Of course, I mentioned Bengals and Jets. Jets
are zero for the season. You can't look past them
any given Sunday, of course, is what they say. Flacco
behind center the first I mean the first week, basically
ten days Flacco's here in town, right, I mean it
was a short week first week, and then they had

(01:29:16):
a Thursday night game. Now they've had basically it's not
quite like a bye week, but an extra free weekend
to sort of get healthy, let the body heal a
little bit, and to maybe figure out the game plan
and how it works around Joe Flacco with all the
offensive weaponry, and we saw an offensive line and a
defense also seem to sort of rise to the occasion too,

(01:29:37):
So hopefully that trend continues. Conversation with James Rapin after
your nine thirty report from Cincinnati Bengals talk and Locked
on Bengals about that very issue and a lot more
ground to cover as well, all before Red Eye Radio
at midnight at Stirling on the home of the best
Bengals coverage, and those Bearcats and the Musketeers, and there's
hopes being played. You see, I think they were getting

(01:29:58):
I think they were down when I heard earlier exhibition basketball.
It gets real sooner than later here on seven hundred
do WLW.

Speaker 11 (01:30:06):
All right, mister Penney, I'm going to show you some
images and you tell me what do you see?

Speaker 5 (01:30:10):
It looks like a butterfly listening to Scott's Loan show.

Speaker 6 (01:30:13):
And this one I see a rocket ship, a rocket ship.

Speaker 5 (01:30:16):
Yeah, last enough for the planet Sloan I see.

Speaker 6 (01:30:19):
And this one that.

Speaker 5 (01:30:20):
Looks like a fish swimming in a mountain pond.

Speaker 6 (01:30:24):
Very good.

Speaker 5 (01:30:24):
Yeah, but a fish is angry because he's not listening
to Scott Sloan.

Speaker 11 (01:30:27):
Scott Sloan, please listen responsibly.

Speaker 10 (01:30:30):
Join me, Scott Sloan Monday morning at nine on seven
hundred WLW might.

Speaker 6 (01:30:34):
Be best for us. It's got some strong medications.

Speaker 15 (01:30:37):
Are you looking for serious investment in the booming clean
energy sector?

Speaker 2 (01:30:41):
Don't run down to.

Speaker 12 (01:30:44):
I thought.

Speaker 2 (01:30:44):
Don't mean I don't want to say it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:45):
It's so close to freezing, but I mean we're headed
that direction before it starts getting warmer again for real.
Thirty seven Tonight sixty on Saturdays sixty two Sunday football
weather both days low chance or rain should be good
for bear Cats, Bengals, et cetera, FC Cincinnati as well
Tomorrow night also Dwntown or in the West end sixty

(01:31:07):
three to start the week, and my god, it about
a Monday or Friday. It's forty five right now, you're
sever your weather station seven hundred W WELW.

Speaker 2 (01:31:14):
James Rapene joining me.

Speaker 1 (01:31:15):
A conversation we have about Bengals, jets, the Ring of Honor,
and Alex e can produce and keep me in line
here and on time at least he tries doing his best.
But Travis Layer with about five and a half minutes
away before news, we were talking about when.

Speaker 2 (01:31:28):
The cats away do you play?

Speaker 1 (01:31:29):
What how do you live your life when your wife,
your girlfriend, your boyfriend, husband, the kids out of town,
the parents out of town? What did you do or
do you do when you have that time alone to
live autonomously, to do what it is that you'd like
to be doing. Alex out the year was He's like,
I didn't I was gonna interrupt. I didn't what to interrupt. Well, now,
so yeah, everybody I've talked to, or at least every

(01:31:51):
his message and stuff I've searched here. Most people it's
about having a good time and like just time with
themselves just sort of reflect or just maybe get away
with sitting around in their underwear doing nothing. You are
not that animal.

Speaker 2 (01:32:05):
No.

Speaker 29 (01:32:06):
I was just listening to you talking about folks ordering
a pizza or watching a movie or something like that,
and all I can think about is, I just can't
relax if the house isn't isn't cleaned up, So it
ends up I end up spending a lot of that
time cleaning up or doing something else, and then before
I know it, she's back and that's all I've done
is just clean these well.

Speaker 2 (01:32:26):
So I have many questions.

Speaker 1 (01:32:27):
Are you normally the person who handles the cleaning, because
different couples separate the responsibilities and chores differently. You know,
some do the cleaning, some do you know whatever it is?
Are you the cleaner, the you know, the the real
hygienic person is that you're a better hab I don't
know if you want to use her name or not.

Speaker 2 (01:32:42):
I'm not gonna do it unless you do.

Speaker 16 (01:32:44):
No.

Speaker 29 (01:32:44):
No, Shannon is Yeah. Shannon and I just got married
at the end of May. Yeah and uh and yeah.
I would say that we run a tight household, and
my parents did and definitely her parents did as well,
So I think we share those responsibilities pretty well. We've
as soon as we moved in we made a laminated
spreadsheet of.

Speaker 2 (01:33:01):
Oh my gosh, who does what chores? But we end
up spending Sundays is kind of our chor day. And
as you know, I'm I'm here.

Speaker 29 (01:33:10):
I work with ken Brew on Sunday mornings, so I'm
here in the morning and then I'm home around two
or three, and then we're doing chores until you know,
six or seven, just to get stuff caught up. But yeah,
I mean, we run a pretty clean household, and I
would say that we share the responsibilities pretty evenly. But
but yeah, if she happens to go away for any
length of time, I'm usually, you know, doing something here

(01:33:31):
or there, and then before I know it, I'm tired,
and then she's back.

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
Now what does she do when you leave? If you're
doing the cleaning and you take the cleaning to another level,
I'm thinking your spreadsheet isn't doing a great job.

Speaker 29 (01:33:41):
It's clearly not working out. It's uh, in fact, she's
a she's at home tonight. I don't really know what
she's up to, but I'll I'll find out when I
get home.

Speaker 1 (01:33:49):
Yeah, it's always when you find out, you're like, oh,
you move. I often I come back and I go, oh,
the furniture has been moved or I have a list
of things because the plan has been put in place, honey.

Speaker 2 (01:34:00):
Yeah, And I'm like, oh.

Speaker 1 (01:34:01):
I realized the Apparently I failed to do these things
in the past. But I don't know anyone else who
actually had a full on, sit down planning party to
I mean, to have a spreadsheet of this of some sort.

Speaker 2 (01:34:14):
That's that's why.

Speaker 29 (01:34:15):
Yeah, we we we laminated it, and then we use
an expo marker so we cross out, we you know,
realign things and then and then, uh, maybe that's where
I failed.

Speaker 1 (01:34:25):
I've not been as focused on these things as you
and and instead of me driving women out of my life.
But I don't think it's ever been because I've been like,
you know, like some type of a mess maybe emotionally,
but it's really Excel spreadsheets.

Speaker 2 (01:34:38):
I think that that's the way to do it.

Speaker 1 (01:34:39):
Wow, I clearly need to get it together everything. Yeah,
that that's pretty disturbing, but good for you. I think, Now,
what what do your friends think of this?

Speaker 24 (01:34:48):
So way?

Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
I mean, I'm not saying I'm at your friend, I
would hope.

Speaker 1 (01:34:50):
I don't want to use that term too loosely, but
I mean like you're your friends away from work. I
mean like you're to come out and play and you're no,
I have to clean because Shannon out of town and
I want to make sure I get this dump fixed up.

Speaker 29 (01:35:02):
It's uh no, I would say, I mean I would
think that my friends support that.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
I haven't heard anything.

Speaker 29 (01:35:08):
Otherwise, right, but but no, some of our friends are
recently married. Her brother and sister are both recently married
as well. I think we all kind of run our
own households in our own way. But I think we
all kind of, you know, play off of each other.
Or I think as you get older, you realize you
know everyone's going to do things a little bit differently,
and I think you have a respect for that.

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
So that's that's all that I've come in content.

Speaker 1 (01:35:32):
No, that's great, I all work in no play, but
I just I'm gonna have to now pull everyone else.

Speaker 2 (01:35:37):
It's like, no, when she's out of town, I clean.
I like to know because I feel like I'm maybe
the only one.

Speaker 1 (01:35:42):
Now see that one of the women and I don't
have a lot of time in this. This is the
best we ended up living either for like longer than
one of my buddy's actually got married twice, and he
was like, you can't commit. I'm like, you've been divorced
twice in a time I've been living in sin But
that same girl in those one case. But before we
were together, I'd come over to the house. She'd come
on over after work. So I come over and then
be like, you want to make some dinner or something.

(01:36:03):
You know, I can go to the store and bring
some stuff. She's no, no, no, no, We'll go out. And
then I go to the kitchen. She's like, don't open
the oven. Don't open the oven. She would stow away
your dirty dishes in the oven.

Speaker 2 (01:36:11):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (01:36:12):
Yeah, and then she'd later then she'd be like, you
don't keep a house clean. On me, you had dishes
in the oven that were dirty. Look that the hell
is going on? But we've both moved on and we're
both in a better place and we're all happy now.
So it's all okay, all right, We've covered way too
much ground and I've shared way too much time, and
I do not want to I don't want to look
at my phone now. Now there's bad texting. All right,

(01:36:32):
you're eleven thirty reports straightaway Travis Laird uh has an

Military paychecks are due on Halloween, but it's day twenty

now there's no plan on how to cover those paychecks
as well.

Speaker 15 (01:37:48):
Of course, the Senate does have a path to end this.
On October third, Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green said Republicans
could use the nuclear option to pass a funding bill
with a simple majority. On October twenty first, Democratic Senator
John Fetterman said he would.

Speaker 2 (01:38:03):
Back that move.

Speaker 15 (01:38:04):
Most Senate Democrats, however, repose the House bill until Republicans
negotiate over health coverage cuts and lost subsidies. Republican leaders
have refused to return to talks, and Republicans have also
not used the nuclear option. That may be because they
lack the votes, want to keep leverage, or do not
want to permanently eliminate the filibuster for future bills. Furloughed

watching him locked on Bengals Bengals Talk dot Com.

Speaker 2 (01:42:26):
You do Bear catch Talk? What all do you do,
James Rauhine?

Speaker 3 (01:42:30):
A little bit of everything, mostly Bengals, though I would
say all the I try to cover the Bengals from
every angle I possibly can.

Speaker 1 (01:42:37):
That's a good way to describe it. And you've been
doing it for a little bit. Sant Bernard's own of course,
hanging out here. I appreciate you making time. This is
an exciting weekend one. I don't want to call it
a tune up because this Bengals team has had problems,
but when you have an O for the season, Jets
team coming in whether Boomer siasin shows or not. Ring
of Honor weekend, Lamar Parrish leaping, Dave Lapham doing it

(01:43:00):
well deserved into the Ring of Honor. This Bengals team
has a challenge as they look to keep rolling, and
there are questions guys in, guys out, be it injuries. Look,
look Hendrickson playing or not playing.

Speaker 3 (01:43:13):
I lean toward playing, but we didn't get the official
either way.

Speaker 4 (01:43:18):
I would still lean toward playing. I think it was.

Speaker 3 (01:43:22):
It was killing him to miss last week and in
this game. Yeah, it's against the winless team, but all
that equity you built up and all that momentum you
built up with a win over the Steelers goes out
the window if you lose this week.

Speaker 4 (01:43:33):
So I would lean toward playing, But nothing confirmed yet.

Speaker 1 (01:43:37):
What is the deal with Logan Wilson. I see all
this talk about him running out? Now, why is he unhappy?

Speaker 3 (01:43:45):
He got benched ahead of the Green Bay game and
is kind of entering a new role on this defense
where he's the third linebacker instead of their first. And
I think going into this year and certainly coming into
this season, been felt like and really the Bengals sort
of planned on him being the guy, and then when

(01:44:05):
you very quickly six games end of the year are
five games into the year rather are benched, it's tough
tough bill to swallow. So no, I still think he
views himself as a starter in this league, and that's
where it comes from his trade request. Now that doesn't
mean the Bengals are planning on trading him. I trade
could happen anytime, but I don't think anything's imminent. I

(01:44:28):
think they would be open to it if the right
deal were to come up and present it to them,
But I don't think they're going to give him away.
And that's why I would be pretty surprised if he
wasn't on the field for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Speaker 1 (01:44:44):
You know, in this position where he's gone down the
depth chart here James for Peene by the way, Lockdown
Bengals was sterling seven hundred w WELW Jets in town
the weekend Ring of Honor, big celebration in to what
hopefully is another w for the Bengals, and he's dropped down.
Was thought to be the starter, as you just said,
it has turned out not to be the guy here.
What type of value does he have and where could

(01:45:06):
he go to be a starter since he's just grundled
and thinks he can scratch his way up closer to
being at that level. Again, if it's not here.

Speaker 3 (01:45:15):
I think there would be teams that would want him
as a starter. I think the Dallas Cowboys could certainly
be one. The Indianapolis Colts, with former Bengals defensive coordinator
Luis Arumo as their defensive coordinator now, could be another.

Speaker 4 (01:45:27):
So there are teams. San Francisco is.

Speaker 3 (01:45:29):
Another team contending team that could use some mindbacker help.
I just look at it, and he's under contract through
twenty twenty seven, so it's not like he's in the
final year of his deal or he's got yet one
more year left. He's got two years left, and that
just really makes it complicated. Any team that would acquire
him could move on this offseason. But there's a six
million dollar dead cap hit, which I'm not trying to

(01:45:52):
get too much into the weeds, but that's a lot
of money to pay someone and to eat to just
get rid of him, and that's kind of what Bengals
are facing. So what I think the decision is going
to be if you're Cincinnati between now and the trade
deadline November fourth, is do.

Speaker 4 (01:46:07):
You want to try to shed that contract?

Speaker 3 (01:46:09):
If so, you're probably not going to get much, but
you could maybe get that contract off your books long term.

Speaker 4 (01:46:14):
And is that worth it?

Speaker 3 (01:46:16):
Or is having Logan Wilson a linebacker that you know
what you're going to get on your roster, even if
it's more in a reserve role.

Speaker 4 (01:46:24):
Is that more valuable?

Speaker 3 (01:46:25):
And that's what they're going to have to wrestle with
and really explore between now and November fourth.

Speaker 1 (01:46:30):
Talking to James Rapine locked on Bengals SI, he's everywhere
sterling seven hundred WLW. All right, what have I not
asked here?

Speaker 6 (01:46:39):
Is now?

Speaker 2 (01:46:39):
Joe Flacco.

Speaker 1 (01:46:40):
Game three, the first one with a couple of days
in was sort of a first half of what am
I doing? Who am I playing with? Second half that
seemed to find their feet. Game two look like they
were clicking almost on all cylinders, which is an amazing thing,
and it shows the talent that he has being Flacco
and everything that offense has in the way they've sort

(01:47:02):
of built and allowed things to form around what he
can do. We saw protection from the offensive line, We
saw the defense step up. Here we are game three
in an zero for Jets team in town. What are
we looking for with growth and development with them come Sunday.

Speaker 3 (01:47:19):
Yeah, I think that the next step this is a
big step, especially with this week. They haven't scored a
first quarter touchdown, a touchdown in the first quarter since
Week two when Joe Burrow out Jamar Chase for a
four yard score, and so it's weak eight. We're talking
about the eighth game of the season now, and the

(01:47:41):
Bengals are trying to do what they they did in
Week two, which is win their second straight game. And
I think when you're facing an zero to sevent team
that has a pretty good defense. They gonna be without
a few guys, but still pretty darn good defense, a
lot of talent up front.

Speaker 4 (01:47:56):
Can you jump on them early?

Speaker 3 (01:47:58):
Can you beat up on a team early that is
probably already having plenty of doubts, is probably already looking
in the mirror and thinking about themselves versus the team overall.
That's that's what I think the Bengals need to do.
And if they can do that, if they can score early,
if they can get a lead, which is something they
haven't done and then last week, then I think that

(01:48:21):
this could be one of those games that.

Speaker 4 (01:48:23):
That goes their way early and it stays that way.

Speaker 3 (01:48:25):
And so for Joe Flacco, it's just continuing what he's
done over the past six quarters, but make sure you're
doing it in the first quarter to get off to
a really good start.

Speaker 1 (01:48:36):
Would you call us more than a tune up game,
because I mean every team in the NFL, you know,
they say any you know, any week, right, anything can happen.
But I mean this Jets team have got problems a quarterback,
there's you know a lot of issues. It was a
Garrett Wilson's not going to be playing also, which you know,
maybe is something for them of concern beyond what they
already seem to be sure for any help at all.

(01:48:59):
I shouldn't make fun. I mean we've been there.

Speaker 3 (01:49:02):
No, don't make fun because it may burn you on
Sunday like they're still capable. I mean I went and
I watched in two at MetLife Stadium. I watched Mike
White in the Jets beat the Bengals. And this was
the Bengals that went to the AFC Championship game. That's right, right,
So this is it's one of those one of these

(01:49:26):
games where last week I described it as a must win.

Speaker 4 (01:49:30):
This one is a better win. You better win this game.

Speaker 3 (01:49:34):
The must wins are designated for season saving wins and
things like that, but this one, the pressure is on
the Bengals to show that they're a good team. And
I think if they are a good team, which in
my eyes, the verdict is still certainly out given what
they've done over the first seven weeks of the season
and where they're at. So if they are a good team,
they are going to handle business and get a win.

Speaker 4 (01:49:56):
But they got to show that.

Speaker 3 (01:49:58):
And so no, I think that they're going to be challenged,
and this is one of those where the Jets backs
are against the wall. You don't know exactly who's going
to be at quarterback. I think it's going to be
Tyrod Taylor. You don't have Garrett Wilson to deal with,
you don't have Sauce Gardner to deal with. But they
still a really good defensive front. They stop Breeze Hall,
who's an elite running back, not just a good running back,

(01:50:21):
an elite running back, and.

Speaker 4 (01:50:22):
So they're going to have to stop the run.

Speaker 3 (01:50:24):
I mean, there's things that they're going to have to
do better than they've done over the past couple of weeks.
If they're going to win this game now, people should
expect them to do that those things. But they still
got to go out and do those things and deliver
and hold up there.

Speaker 4 (01:50:37):
Undo the bargain.

Speaker 1 (01:50:38):
Talking to James Rapeen Lockdown, Bengals Sterling seven hundred WLW
one o'clock kickoffs, Hunday Ring of Honor, Weekend, Dave Lapham, Lamar,
Parrish's leaping Lamar getting their nice jackets and there's tiger
stripes and that nice underbolt that this offense for this team.
We talked about it a couple of weeks ago, James Games,

(01:51:00):
the figuring out Flacco's place and that in between giving
him stuff with the running game and also that short
ball stuff rather than just always going deep, and we
saw him connect big time with Chase. We saw a
lot of those different elements coming together over these last
two weeks. What is it that you think they're working
on in the midst of this Let's assume it's a

(01:51:21):
serious battle, But where do they really need the work
to say, Okay, we're getting to the next level.

Speaker 3 (01:51:27):
Well, they ran the ball effectively for the first time
all season last week. Yep, and you saw Chase Brown
get going. He had a twenty eight yard run and
then he followed that up with a thirty seven yard
run and those are both in the second quarter, and
that gave the Bengals offense a real momentum.

Speaker 4 (01:51:43):
And so the beauty of being.

Speaker 3 (01:51:45):
Able to do that really takes pressure off of Joe Flacco.
It takes pressure off of your passing game. They're going
to throw it, and that's why they traded for Joe Flacco.
They're going to throw the ball. They want to throw
the ball. They're a pass first team. But running the
ball and when you run it, having a few explosive
runs mixed in goes a long way. So they're going
to have Dylan Fairchild start at left guard this week,

(01:52:07):
and it's the first time he started in a few
weeks due to a knee injury. And so can this
run game pick up where it left off and continue
to move forward. I think that's a big factor. Obviously,
Jamar needs the ball, and he needs the ball, and
Noah Fan and Chase Brown out of the backfields a threat.
But if you can get that ground game going, it

(01:52:29):
one keeps your defense well rested too. It gives the
defense a whole nother thing to worry about that isn't
your star weapons, and it takes pressure off of a
forty year old quarterback that's.

Speaker 4 (01:52:39):
Played really, really well. But he's Joe Flacco.

Speaker 3 (01:52:42):
He isn't Joe Burrow, and we need to remember that,
I think as we move forward here, because at some
point he's going to be Joe Flacco and not looked
like Joe Burrow as much.

Speaker 4 (01:52:51):
And that's fine. They can win that way, but having
a running game would certainly.

Speaker 1 (01:52:54):
Help him out, certainly would anything else. Before I let
you go, I know, I didn't ask everything.

Speaker 3 (01:52:59):
I know enough to know, Yeah, I think this really
is for me the game where we can learn a
lot about the Bengals in they what they could be.
And a lot of people are going to like, well, really,
it's a winless team.

Speaker 4 (01:53:13):
You're at home, it should be an easy win, and
it's like, well.

Speaker 3 (01:53:16):
Yeah, if they're good, Like, if the Bengals are a
good team, I could totally see that winning by multiple
scores and being in control of the game and going
that route. But these are the type of games that
you don't look past, that you're dialed in for, that
you start fast and so that first fifteen plays that
first driver to for Zach Taylor and Joe Flacco in
this offense. Are they getting seven points? Are they getting

(01:53:40):
is it ten to nothing after their first two possessions
or better? That is what I'm really paying attention to
as we do into Sunday's game.

Speaker 1 (01:53:48):
Well said James Raheen locked on Bengals. He's everywhere else
as well. Kind enough to give us some time a
Friday night Stirling Ring of van or weekend Downtown pay
Corps Bengals three and four hosting an OH to seven
Jets team Joe Flacco behind center. It should be good
and so let's hope that they take it to the
next level. Thank you, James, enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Indeed, Lap, your.

Speaker 30 (01:54:27):
First NFL head coach, was the most innovative coach in
sports history. In my opinion, the legendary Paul Brown. What
did you admire and respect about Paul? I just respected
his football mind.

Speaker 31 (01:54:39):
He had a mind that was just unbelievable, hits such
a broad based knowledge the game of football. He was
just ahead of the game, ahead of everybody else. Innovative.
He's been credited with things like designing the face mask,
coming up with the concept of protecting the face. You know,
he wondered, why would guys play the game and not
protect their head in their face.

Speaker 11 (01:54:59):
I put helmets on obviously, but no face mask.

Speaker 6 (01:55:02):
Crazy.

Speaker 31 (01:55:02):
He had a lot of innovations, and I think in
the end he had the respect of every other owner
and a general manager and head coach in the National
Football League.

I like to play cards, go to the card room sometimes,
you know, play some hold them or whatever else. And
I've never not once ever been considered a whale. I'm
a dabbler at best. Like playing cards with my friends,
which doesn't happen as often as i'd like it. To Sterling,
by the way, hanging out seven hundred wlw alex, he
can keep me in line producing Travis Laird's Got News

in about three minutes than Red Eye radio role. The
story mesmerized me about these thirty four people that have
been charged in NBA poker gambling cases, including Chauncey Billups,
Terry Roseier, and some other alleged mob figures. There's a
whole lot of people that apparently were playing in rig

(01:56:13):
poker games. Some apparently knew about it, hence being charged,
others not who were duped, suckered, ripped off, conned, whatever
you want to call it. I don't know if you've
ever been to like a regular poker room, or sometimes
people are rent out of space and they'll be like
a private room someplace where you know, they'll get somebody
into and maybe deal some cards whatever. I don't roll

(01:56:35):
in those circles generally, certainly, But I mean, how chapped
would your backside be? You know, sometimes you lose and
you think, well that's the way the cards went, or
you know I got beat by a player because I
like the whole idea of playing cards for me is
less but the cards and playing the people, which I
enjoy immensely. And when I lived in Vegas, I learned
playing in some of those local casinos in some card

(01:56:57):
games with these old guys who had forgotten more than
I know how brutal and hard harsh it can be.
I can't imagine being in a place where I thought
I had gotten ripped off or found out subsequently as
a high roller or otherwise. And you should ever be
gambling the money you can't afford to lose anyhow, But

Is this just comes out?

Speaker 1 (01:57:22):
And apparently the idea is that more and more people
are going to be hearing from a law law enforcement
about maybe some of this kind of stuff being done.
And then the other question is with all the other gambling,
some of the talk that's been going around about shaving
points here or there, which you know, that's another bewildering thing.

(01:57:43):
In time, I guess we'll find out. Truth will make
it out. Maybe possibly we'll see, But I mean that
that's what a drag and to hear that with some
names that you may have thought, Okay, we're upstanding people.
We'll see how it plays out overall. I don't have
a whole lot of time left, but I just want
to say thank you. TSA workers and others out there

(01:58:03):
apparently working at least temporarily for free or at least
for money they'll get maybe hopefully down the line. Contract
workers friends of mine doing some government work that are
on the sideline now, a couple that we're asked to
continue and say they get money later. I know some
private donor apparently coughed up over one hundred million dollars
to help pay troops in the midst of this shutdown.
We'll see how much longer that thing continues. I'm out

(01:58:25):
of time. I got more show than time, which is
a good place to be, I suppose, so I will stop.

Speaker 2 (01:58:31):
I'll talk to you in about a week.

Speaker 1 (01:58:34):
Sometimes partner on the weekend, Donna Dee going solo tomorrow night.
I'm not on because Bearcat's play tomorrow afternoon. She's got
that relationship show here on the Big One after nine
tomorrow night. So if you get a chance, you're out
and about and you've got some relationship stuff, she will
be the one to listen to. I think Doctor West
maybe with her as well, don't know for sure, So
either way, have yourself a great weekend. Thank you, Alex

Speaker 2 (01:59:38):
It's day twenty five of the shutdown.

Speaker 15 (01:59:41):
More than half a million federal workers miss the paycheck
on Friday. With your top of the Hour report, I'm
Travis Lair breaking now in the Senate. The same House
bill has failed repeatedly. ABC's j O'Brien has the latest.

Speaker 14 (01:59:54):
Rinse and repeat. Government funding legislation goes to the Senate
for the same bill that passed out of the House,
and it gets three Senate Democrats to vote for it,
but nowhere near the needed number of Senate Democrats to
get it over the goal line, and it fails. That
has happened now twelve more times, and we expect that
to start happening when the Senate returns here to Washington
early next week as well. There's no deal insight, there

(02:00:15):
are no negotiations happening, and there aren't really any signs
of negotiations that might even start.

Speaker 2 (02:00:20):
Of course, there is a path forward.

Speaker 15 (02:00:22):
On October third, Republican Marjorie Taylor Green said the Senate
could use the nuclear option to pass funding with a
simple majority, and on October twenty, first Democrat John Fetterman
said he would back that. Most Senate Democrats, however, want
talks to restore health coverage removed in President Trump's Big
Beautiful Bill months ago. Republican leaders have refused to return
to negotiations. Republicans have also not used the nuclear option,

(02:00:44):
possibly because they lack the votes, possibly because they want
to keep leverage, or possibly because they do not want
to permanently eliminate the filibuster for future bills outside DC,
the human cost is visible. Laura is sixty, a federal contractor,
and she's standing in line for boxes of food.

Speaker 14 (02:01:00):
It's all about prioritizing, and I just don't want to
be homeless now.

a chance for some frost. The rest of our Saturday

It's hard to miss the twenty foot by twenty foot
mobile billboard that's been driving the streets of downtown Cincinnati,
especially in the area around City Hall. Picture Samara Cincinnati
is a puppet master, accusing f tab Pure of all
of putting politics over safety since I Police Officers Union
pay for the mobile billboard, alleging the behind the efforts
to remove the police chief. They say he wants to
make her the scapegoat for his failed policies. The FLb

In northern Kentucky, residents are dealing with widespread delivery mix ups,
and they're blaming it on speed X, a low cost
courier used by Shean and Timu. Customers report packages left
at random houses or never arriving at all. Alexandria business
owner Christina Kamerer has turned her store into a drop
off point to help return dozens of misdelivered orders. She

(02:02:40):
says there's no customer service line for speed X and
she calls it chaos. Elder High School has capped an
undefeated regular season with a win at the Pit, marking

Cincinnati Zoo's new Bear Ridge exhibit is now open to
visitors and its first two residents are two eight month
old black bear cubs named Hazel and Juniper. Although they
are both black bears, Hazel is actually brown, an easy
way to distinguish the two and a reminder that not
all black bears are black bears. The orphaned cubs come
from Montana after wildlife officials determined they couldn't survive in

(02:03:25):
the wild. The zoo says they're settling in well. Visitors
can view them from multiple spots, including a cave and
