Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, back with Eddie and Rocky, And it really
is Eddie and Rocky.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
I'm back ed back from the first state. Had a
game in Delaware last night that took four hours because
of the referees reviewing things all the time.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
It's funny because I I turned the game on for
a little while in the middle of the third quarter
and uh, and I'm looking at the time of my
boy's going to be there a little while.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
God, I mean, it's it's again, as I said to
Ken Troy Aikman said it earlier in the year, and
I've adopted the phrase nothing will kill a broadcast quicker
than those yellow flags, and they just it's it's the
calling down from the booth and the reversal, the booth reversal, and.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
It's just, well, I is that what happened? Because I
was wondering if there was some kind of weather problem
that I know, see.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
You would think that would make sense and that would
be acceptable, but it's, uh, it's more were there. The
one that really got me was there was a a
got targeting that came down like it didn't get caught
on the field, all right, so okay, fine, But then
the booth calls down for it. They review it for

(01:16):
like three minutes, and then they say, after a further review,
there's no target. Well, then why did you call it
down to the field, Like, couldn't you have like gotten
one look at it and say, oh, okay, they didn't
call it on the field. Wasn't egregious enough? Let's play on? No,
they call it down, look at it for a long time,
and then say, nope, there was no penalty, which I

(01:37):
could have told you after one review.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
So I look at it. How did you find? I know, hey,
I found Delaware. You drove east and there it was.
But un't it again? There was pretty easy, right, You
flew into Philly in Philly and.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
It was like a forty minute drive.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
It was.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
It was really easy Delaware, nice campus, nice facility. And
it was cool too, because you know, when you think
Delaware football, the name that immediately comes to mind is
Joe Flacco, even though that was you know, going on
twenty years ago. But obviously with him being here in
Cincinnati and being the man that can do no wrong,

(02:15):
people are now interested in what he eats for breakfast?
Oh yeah, what? What novels he likes to read in
his spare time.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Whether or not he likes to eat by himself, because
we're going to be talking to Jason Hobbin a little
while and I have to give him a little crap
for you do Yes, does he like Skyline?

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I mean, like just sess a Cincinnati d I like ya?

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Have you been to a little yet?

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:42):
You suck.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Anyways, we were going to talk about oil prices, but
apparently our guy Ray is busy. But let's talk about
this story that just broke a little while ago. Uh Rock,
this is a sports gambling thing. Yeah, this is nuts, man,
It's really nuts.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
And obviously gambling is is bigger than ever because it's
more accessible than ever because a the online nature of it,
and then be all these states that it's legal. Now
you don't have to have some secret you know, bookie
and you know, and go to some offshore account and
you can literally, I guess I could be sitting here
right now doing this show. I don't do this because

(03:21):
I don't I don't gambling games, but I could be.
I could play some bet right here, and there's all
kinds of well you get that one from okay, but yeah,
but then this this news comes down. It's an FBI probe.
I guess they've been looking at for a long time
and it's all the you know, there's their allegations at
this point, but there's kind of two separate but related

(03:43):
things going on.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
It.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
One is some things going on with with poker, like
high stakes poker, gambling and lots of ways to cheat.
There's X ray vision glasses that can see the card
even if it's face down.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
There's let's talk about that. But let's talk about the
NBA thing that real quick, because it essentially is point shaving.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yes, it's and it has to do a lot of
like parlay bets, which you know, and and it has
to do with you know, Chauncey Billups who's the Cherub
Blazer's head coach, and Terry Rozier who plays for the
Heat I believe, and another guy uh three three for
more current NBA players. But yeah about you know, hey,
let's hear it. Here's the under and Terry Razier would

(04:29):
more or less take a dive foo hurts. Yeah, I'm
coming out, boom boom. And I looked at Terry Rozier
has made one hundred and sixty million dollars. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (04:38):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
I don't watch the NB. I don't really know who
he is, but like, I mean, he's a I've heard
the name. He's a bigger player. He's made one hundred
and sixty million dollars. And how much money, even if
you're making hundreds of thousands of dollars, is it worth
worth it if you Maybe he's he's pissed it all.
I don't know idea, but that's crazy. Well, we've talked
about that before. How in the hell do you screw

(04:59):
that if you're making if somebody pays you one hundred
and sixty million dollars, And I mean you always hear
about We've talked about it a million times people just
like you said, pissing it all away? Now, how much
you're going to risk that all to get caught by
the freaking FBI because you faked a foot injury. That's ridiculous, man,

(05:22):
it's crazy talk. I guess they look at it like
you know. And I'll say this as someone who calls
games for a living, right, I am privy to information
about a team the night before the game, or hours
before the game, or minutes before a game that no
one else has. You know, wasn't done in the meeting,

(05:42):
and the coaches say, hey, look this is this stays
in these four walls, but the quarterback isn't going to start.
I mean that if I were a dishonest person, that'd
be pushing pretty powerful information that I had. And it's essentially,
you know what what these guys are being accused of
is is that it's it's inner note of the team

(06:02):
that they are then using to place bets and all
that sort of thing. You know, I often wonder why
ESPN isn't more on us and like weekly saying, look,
you know you just so you know, any information you
get you want to talk about destroying not just your
brand but our entire brand, go ahead and use some
of that inside coaches information for gambling purposes. Done and

(06:28):
you're you're done, You're absolutely done.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
So let's because the only reason I was killing time there,
I was going to try to get the information in
front of me. But because you have to read it yourself.
This poker thing that they had gone on, I mean,
this is very Ocean's eleven. I mean it's insane the
stuff these guys were doing.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
High tech cheating technology, right, is what was going on?
Like again, glasses that would could look at a card
face down on the dealer table and see what it
actually was. I read something where, you know, the little
caddies that the chips are are placed in, those had

(07:11):
cameras in them, you know, cameras in the in the tables.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
The auto shuffle machine, auto shuffle machine had it was
programmed to shuffle a miss or.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
It's crazy. By the way, I've never played on automatic shuffling.
And I'm betting maybe you know between ten and twenty
five dollars a hand, right, I'm not, you know, but
I would never go to those things because well that
you just don't know. But yeah, and again that the
mobs involved, you know, and.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
See that's the thing. It's you and I were talking
off here about the fact that the mob's not what
you think it what we think of. Think of the
old movies where you're, you know, you're breaking people's hands
and putting their head in a vice and all that stuff.
I'm thinking of you casino and burying them in the
desert some plow. He's in a shallow grave, YadA, YadA. Well,

(08:02):
apparently the new mafia is all high tech.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Man, Yeah, all high tech. Now they still may cut
people's fingers off, and.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
So there's no questions about that.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
But yeah, and this is going to be And look,
this is a good thing, right, This is a good
thing for Vegas, is a good thing for gambling. That
these things are because from what I have read, it's
never been harder for the house, okay, or the you know,
the bookmakers to make money because there's so much information
out there. There's analytics that normal people you and I

(08:34):
and look, Jason Hoffman comes on. He talks about different analytics.
So betters are are smarter than ever. So if ultimately
that the house always wins, it's becoming harder and harder,
so that they would absolutely want any sort of cheating scandal.
They want it unearthed, They want to make an example
of it, they want to tamp it down. And I
think that's what we're seeing here. And look, I know

(08:56):
these are allegations, but the NBA or shoot me, the
FBI doesn't research a case for more on a decade
and bring it to light without being dead certain.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Well, we will see see how this all shakes out.
But it is amazing that these people were that It's funny. Well,
we were talking about the mafia. They were responsible. We
were talking about there these guys that organized the whole

(09:29):
tech part and the fixing the games, and this and
that and the other. And then mafia helped him with
the buying the electronics and stuff. But one of the
stories I read was and also the mafia was in
charge of enforcing paying off your debt, going back to
the breaking your thumb sing.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
But but this is remember was it Tim Donihie the referee,
the NBA referee early two thousands, that was you know,
was he was involved in making a call or not
making a call or two here and there. Yeah, if
there's money to be made, there's gonna be people gonna
try to get a little edge and try to I

(10:09):
guess the NBA player with one hundred six if you
put one hundred and sixty million dollars in just an
S and P, don't touch it. Don't even have some
you know, high high priced financial guide try to move this.
Just put it in the S and P, and you
will be richer than rich in your wildest dreams. There's
no reason to take a chance on making ten thousand

(10:29):
dollars one hundred thousand dollars here and there.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Gambling well, you could put it in a savings account
at fifth third.

CD at three and a half percent. Yeah, sign me up.

Yeah, okay, he's watching.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
I mean the hot model that's in. If you were
thirteen years old as I was when this video came out,
you were watching this video like, oh yeah, So I
was never wanted to be like an overweight, kind of
half dracky looking guy in your life than I did
back in ninety three.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
See, I was more of a Paradise by the Dashboard
light guy. This album was massive, massive for people who
don't know, it was Bad out of Hell and this
that album was huge.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, kick kick that out again. Give me a rock
song with a piano in it, and you got yourself
a hit.

Speaker 7 (21:56):
That song.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
I'm gonna say, copies. It's goods. It don't come up.
Some days it don't come to.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
You.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Traculate get up.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
But he was like so different than any other act
out there for sure. I mean this is like when
grunge music was going, and you know, Guns, Guns and Roses.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
Was big, Metallica was big.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
And then the operettic meat Loaf was huge.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Just how talented he was. You know where he came from, Florida.
He was a rocky horror picture show. That's where he started. Yeah,
and it was either just the stage play or in
the movie I forget okay, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Because he had the he had the album like in
the seventies, Right, was that Bad out of Hell? And
this was Bad out of Hell too? Right?

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Oh was that a Bad at Hell too? I thought
that was on the original. Yeah, yes, but but the
whole Bat out of Hell thing was huge.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, it's good. So and he was also Oh god,
the movie with Brad Pitt and Edward Ordon Fight Club,
Fight Club. Yeah yeah. He played the guy who took
the steroids man boobs. Yeah yeah, what an odd role,
but he nailed it. And it was like I said, Loaf,
this Mayloaf, He's great. He died a couple of years ago.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Well, I forget what. I forget why he died, didn't
I don't. I think he had some kind of illness.
I don't want to say I just had a heart
attack because of obesity or something.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
But he was seventy four, okay, so well, yeah he
had yeah Wolf Parkinson White syndrome, a condition marked by
an extra an extra electrical pathway in the heart, which
causes symptoms like a rapid heartbeat. So you throw that,
throw some rock and roll from Little Okay on top

(24:01):
of it, that's not that's not gonna be well for
your your heart condition.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
I will tell you this and maybe somebody can report
on this who uh may have seen him live. But
I have read reports that live he sucked.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Really yeah, don't tell me that.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
I know. Man, I was bummed too, because I.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Had some like, you know, one hundred piece orchestra just
killing it.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Yeah, you would think that he's like, oh you thought
like you said, like he was the opera guy. But
that just reports I read me, But I was wrong. Yes, so,
because I've also read reports that bon Jovi is it
sucks life. I'm not kidding you.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Shut your right now. And hey rocked she saying board
would die before he put out a bad show. He
could play guitar. Bon Joey can't say. Yeah, so about
here about out here in nineteen seventy seven, and that
was a huge album, two out of three. Ain't bad, right, that.

Speaker 12 (24:56):
Was what I was.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
I'm getting confused, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
But then again, I'm you're talking. I mean literally, twenty
five years later he has another hit album with mostly
that song that was played a million times on the
on air? Did you play that in the ANBN?

Speaker 13 (25:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (25:13):
I don't think really, yeah, okay, more popular? That would
have been your Q one O two's and okay, whatever, right,
But uh no, we were too busy playing we Black
Album nineteen ninety three. You were you were you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Digging deep into black dude?

Speaker 1 (25:30):
We were but deep in the Black Album. I'm not
kid yet. We were looking for stray B sides of
anything that might be a single on that album.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Trust me, most underappreciated track on that album. We're talking
about the Black Album. Yeah, of Wolf and man see.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
I have to go back and revisit it. But I
will tell you this. I was never much of a
Metallica fan. The only reason I wasn't a fan is
because I really, honest to god, didn't really listen to
Metallica much. Of course, I knew the big songs before
the Black Album came out, and then I really started
listening to them, and about then on that tour, I

(26:12):
went to see them here in town at the at
the Arena, and I was amazed at how well I
figured it was going to be good and it was great. Yeah,
they were in the round and they kicked ass, and
I knew almost every song. I don't know if it's

(26:34):
just by osmosis from being on the radio, but I
mean if they did, you know eighteen songs? I knew
sixteen of them easily, and look, i.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Mean traditional Metallica fans will and I'm old, I mean,
you know right and Justice for All I think is
a near perfect album. But and it's very commercially but
every song on that album, the Black Album, is spot on,
spot on. You see. I caught a little bit the
end of Injustice for All because that video one got

(27:05):
some airplay on MTV when they get head Banger's ball
and stuff, I'm like, Holy God, what is this? And
then it's right when the Black Gown came out and
my buddy Dan Stricker, he had the album in Gover's
house and we listened to the tape and it was
restless history.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
You know who else had a great video with a
song called one You two and I I, I'm not kidding.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Just ruined the perfect segment.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
I think it's because of you that I did, honest
to God, because we've also talked about this with you
always doing Uh. If you listen to the show, you
know that I always give Rocky crap because he'll get
a song stuck in his head and he'll sing like
the same, like seven words of that song not even lines,

(27:56):
but the very first time, like Virgin for the very
first time. It's like, Okay, he's right. And I had
a dream the other night that I was going well
and somebody said what song is that? I was like,
I don't know, but I think it's YouTube. That's all

(28:17):
I remember from the dream.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
I don't know. You Too is the crap song.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
It's you two rock and other news. And and I
thought of this story when when I read it, I
thought of you here we go, h because are you
going calling? This is a callback to your former h
trustee days. Yes, because I can see you standing up

(28:43):
in front of a crown. This guy in New Jersey,
he is well, real, thrilled. Philly is his name. He
came to tell him the whole meeting to ask questions
about a recent property tax hike. But before he said
a word, as he saipped, you know, he got his

(29:03):
time on the mic. What do you get like three
minutes or five minutes or whatever the hell it is.
Before he said a word, he performed a wordless robot
dance without music and spun around on the floor. And
then he stood up and in front of the microphone
and said, how was everyone's weekend. He went on to
ask a few specific questions about taxes and school expenses,

(29:26):
then gathered his papers from the podium and moonwalked back
to his seat. And also, it turns out he is
a candidate for the Crawford Township Committee.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Okay, so this was his audition. This he was gonna
wow them and say, hey, they're going to choose me.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
On his website later, I hope to bring a friendly,
stress free way of our committee to our committee. When
dealing with the public, in my.

happens now because everything's on video, and so just do something.

Under our good friend PJ Street.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Yes, and the topic, and I told in this on
air last week, I'd like to discuss fasting. You hear
a lot about that, ed how good it is for you,
and it does this, it does that. There's twenty four
hour fast, there's thirty six hour fast, there's you know,
people people push it. You hear there's some great benefit

(32:40):
to it. But is that true? PJ will of course
set the record straight. Now, I had this article last week,
but I thought it was absolutely insane. The It was
an Axios article and it was claiming that fifty two
percent the articles that you read on the Internet are

(33:02):
written by AI.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
I'm sadly, I'm not surprised, but that figure is crazy.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
And what's even more crazy is the article was writing
it from the perspective of boy. We actually thought by
this time it'd be more than fifty percent. But think
about fifty I mean one on every two articles you read,
a human being didn't write it. And that's only going
to get just more and more and more and more.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Well, I see articles all the time now because obviously
we'd go through a lot of information for this show,
believe it or not. And I've noticed more and more
though there's never a lot of articles that I read
don't have a byline by a human on it. You
know what I'm saying, written by you whatever, Jason Hoffin

(33:52):
or whoever. It's just like it doesn't even say AP
or anything on it. It just has a story.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
I was talking to a woman yesterday and the long
story but they lived in their house for like thirty
years and they sold it because they wanted to move
close to their kids in college. But yeah, it was
sentimental basic they wrote, you know, the the new owner
is a letter you know whatever, just about how much
hope you enjoyed this. My wife did that when we

(34:19):
sold our right and the woman, by the way is
an author, and she told me, she's like, yeah, I
used AI to write this art. Like I tried writing it,
tried to get the right and I just couldn't. So
I just I just pumped it in there, like, you know,
there's some of the prompts of like, you know, I
really wanted to kind of talk about our family's history

(34:40):
and talk about my young son. And she's like, I
wrote a better article or a better letter than I
could ever write. Like, but it's not yours, she writes,
she writes books.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
That's saying, well, wait a minute, it kind of supposed
to be from the heart.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
That's that. That's the thing I am. I wonder and
I think, I'm sure I'm being naive. But there's so
and you and I talked about this four years ago,
five years ago, with all the deep fakes and the
videos out there and fake and we not knowing what's
we're here, we're officially here. I mean, it is a lot.
There's a video going on. I see around a lot.

(35:21):
Now it's and it looks like a like a ring
doorbell kind of camera situation, and it's like a bear
in a raccoon. And the only reason I know it's
fake because it looks one hundred percent of real is
there's like twelve different scenarios of it, so there's not
this isn't happening. A bear and a raccoon aren't rolling,
you know anyway. So the point is this video is

(35:43):
clearly created. But I just wonder in a world where
you don't know if anything is real or not, do
people turn away from the Internet and go, I don't
know what's real at least, let me go and find
some real experiences. Or am I being naive or people
just gonna just I don't think so at all. That's
what I know. But do you think that people will
turn away from the Internet and say, you know what

(36:04):
I'm gonna I'm not gonna flip on TikTok anymore because
I don't know if that video is real or fake,
so hell? Or are they just gonna double down and
just say, oh, I'm entertained by it?

Speaker 1 (36:13):
So let's say you do. It doesn't matter because even
if you just say Okay, I'm only gonna watch news
on TV. How long before that bleeds onto TV and
is presented as real?

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Right? Well, and that's the yeah, I guess. Overall, I'm asking,
do people just kind of go and actually revert back
backwards back to real experiences like going on hikes and
instead of watching a concert online, actually go to the
concert and not video it, and go on a backpacking

(36:46):
trip and go see nature because that's like a genuine experience.
Or do people go my brain and the dopamine hit
that my brain gets when I hit this video.

Speaker 12 (36:57):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
So if it's real, If it's fake, I don't get.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
A dam What do you think pretty soon you're gonna
be Well, you already can, but you just put on
your You can spend a couple of grand on some
VR gogas uh and you're can experience anything you want to.
So you would drop two grand. Okay, you didn't spend
two thousand or ten thousand dollars to go to India
to see the taj Mahall. You could take a tour

(37:22):
of it walking around your living room.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
It'll be interesting to see. Because I feel like that's
what has a good chance of happening. But there's a
small sliver of hope in mankind that I have that go.
People go Nope, not doing it. I'm not gonna do
it now. I'm gonna look for real experience.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
I'm older than you, and I have very little hope.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
I know, I am totally naive. I this is total
wishful thinking, and I think you're probably right.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Well be uh, let's let's talk about more important things
like fasting. Coming up next after the news News Radio

Speaker 2 (44:07):
We wanted to touch base with you on the topic
of fasting. It's talked about a lot online on Instagram,
all the all the sites out there, of course. So
I guess, first, PJ, describe fasting in the different I
guess ways you're seeing it come up, the different programs
of fasting that are being I guess put out there

(44:29):
as being beneficial.

Speaker 17 (44:32):
Yeah, there's a lot of different fasting protocols. There's you know,
I think the most common one would be this it's
called sixteen to eight fasting, to where you're only going
to eat in ate like an eight hour window. So
that's basically for most people just skipping breakfast and then
eating between like you know, twelve and eight o'clock at night.
There's alternate day fasting, to where you don't eat anything

(44:54):
for an entire day and then you eat you know,
your normal intake the next day. Rinson repeats, Uh, there's
water fasting, where all you do is drink water for
a prolonged period of time, which I've covered. I think
I covered that last year on the show, which is
ridiculously dumb. There's how about it, sugar fasting?

Speaker 1 (45:13):
How about juice? I'm sorry, buddy, yes, because I've heard
of that too, Just drinking juice. Now, that seems a
little odd to me. But does does does that work?
While we're talking about it?

Speaker 2 (45:27):
So look, it's a good question, Eddie.

Speaker 17 (45:28):
And at the end of the day, all of these
forms of fasting do nothing more. Well, potentially, I shouldn't.
It's not guaranteed. It does nothing more than put somebody
in an energy deficit. Okay, that that's really it. H
you know, so it's really but you know, does the
science support any of this or is this just another
overhype fad with a new marketing twist, And and mostly

(45:52):
it's the latter. You know, fasting is not magic. It
it only really works if it puts you in an
energy deficit. There's no real like hormonal loophole that makes
you burn fat just because you know you you skip
breakfast and then eat in a in a certain window
of time, fasting can.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
Help people eat less.

Speaker 17 (46:15):
But the problem is is that most people, in my experience,
and I've been doing this a long time, the problem
is most people overestimate how much they're saving up, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
So let me give an example.

Speaker 17 (46:27):
A two hundred pound guy, uh probably needs like roughly
twenty five hundred towers a day to maintain their weight. Well,
if he eats three thousand calories in a three hour window,
that's not the idea. He's gaining weight, right, fastening or not.
So you know, let me give you a typical example.
Let's say you don't eat all day and you're you know,

(46:49):
you're you're fastening, and you're waiting until I don't know,
six o'clock and i'd eat, and you go out with
your wife at a restaurant. Right, Well, you have two beers,
you share the bread basket, you share an appetizer, you
have an on tray, you share a dessert.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Well, that can.

Speaker 17 (47:02):
Easily easily be three thousand calories. So it doesn't matter
that you didn't eat all day, You're still going to
be in a calorie surplus and it's going to cause
weight gain. And most people that fast, not all, but
most they can't sustain it. You know, the key to
any nutrition strategy is going to be consistency and sustainability.

(47:24):
So look, fasting may help a small group of people
stick to a calorie deficit diet, but most people, in
my experience, they're tapping out after two to three weeks
and they feel like death warmed over. So it's often
used as a rigid kind of all or nothing approach,
which ultimately backfires.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
So pj okay, I understand about in terms of weight loss,
and you know, keeping your body in a calorie deficit
or fasting a lot of times it doesn't work. But
are there any other health benefits? Because because that's right,
I hear a lot of it. Right, you know, your
cortisol levels are this, and it helps decrease your chances
of you know, Alzheimer's and whatever. Right, there's all kinds

(48:07):
of claims out there. Are there any other benefits of
putting your body where it's not actively digesting food for
an extended period of time, and are there any benefits
to doing that?

Speaker 17 (48:19):
It's a wonderful question, rocket, And look anecdotically, some people
do report, you know, things like better mental clarity, less
brain fog, they feel sharper, they feel more energized during
their fast. But I'll tell you that there's just as
many people who report fatigue and brain fog and irritability.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
That would I would be in this category if.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
I irritability would be mine PJ. Yes, if my wife
knows if I don't eat, I get cranky, I'm in that.

Speaker 17 (48:50):
So it's a good point, Rocky, because look, there's no
guarantee you're going to be in the feel good group
doing this.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 17 (48:56):
Right now, in terms of your question about you know,
certain medical conditions, there is emerging and I want to
stress the word emerging research on fasting's potential role in
managing conditions like type two diabetes MS and Alzheimer's, but
it's far from conclusive, and and most of these studies

(49:18):
are very small, they're early stage, or they're in animals.
So you know, I wouldn't put your your eggs in
that basket necessarily, So you know my bottom line here,
there's nothing magical about eating in an eight hour window
or you know, not eating for a day and then
eating normally back and forth. Look, if you enjoy it

(49:39):
and it helps you to control calories consistently, go for it.
But if it makes you feel awful it leads to binging,
which it often does, because you know, if you.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Don't I don't know about you, guys.

Speaker 17 (49:50):
But if I didn't eat for a full day and
then resumed eating the next day, I would eat.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
Take double right, Like, yeah, that's I have a So it's.

Speaker 17 (49:59):
A It's ultimately a wash, isn't it. I mean, and
for most people that's what it is. So again nothing.
Here's the thing about about weight loss, guys. You're gonna
have to to pick some form of restriction that there's
no way around that. There's gonna be some rules, there's
gonna be some sacrifice, there's gonna be stuff.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
That you have to say no to. But the nice
thing is you get to you get to pick your
form of restriction, right. You know.

Speaker 17 (50:26):
It could be the carnivore diet. It could be keto,
it could be intermitute fasting. It could be what I'm
a proponent of, is tracking calories, flexible dieting, you know,
weighing out your food, et cetera. You get to pick
the form of restriction. So you really need to find
the form of restriction that's gonna gonna work best for you.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
Now, if you yourself PJ ever, just as an experiment,
try to a fast or not eating for twenty four
hours or forty eight hours, something like that. Well, I mean,
I guess I think I've said this before.

Speaker 17 (50:57):
I guess I do sixteen eight fasting because I don't
eat and usually until like eleven or twelve o'clock every
day that I don't call it fasting.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
I just call it personal life.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
I still yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all my life. That
was anything to like lunch.

Speaker 17 (51:11):
Yeah, okay, that's just my preference, right, But there's nothing
magical about it. It's not like I'm you know, accelerating
my fat loss or anything by doing that. It's just
you know, I'm up early training people, right, I'm good
with coffee. You know, I'm busy. I'm not thinking about eating,
and I prefer to kind of like backload my calories.
But I'm still going to have like three meals, like

(51:32):
one at eleven, one at two, one at five, maybe
another one at seven, you know maybe. But so I
get I guess I've been fasting for fifteen years now.
I don't call it that, but you know, I just
I just kind of backload my calories a little bit. So, well, yeah,
I want to reemphasize.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Yeah, sure, I'm sorry, but you're talking about these three meals.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
A guy like you, you're a personal trainer, what would
those three meals that you do at those certain times
of the day, what would they consist.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
Of more or less?

Speaker 17 (52:02):
Yeah, I mean I basically, and we talked about this
last week, I basically eat the same five or six
meals throughout the week on autopilots. So that would be
like the eleven o'clock is going to be some type
of protein rice bowl, just sticky rice or jasmine rice
with some form of protein. It could be ground turkey,
It could be chicken breast, it could be lean steak.

(52:25):
Next meal might be like some type of a protein
wrap on a high fiber lob tortilla. Next meal might
be Greek yogurt with protein powder mixed in with some berries.
I mean that's I pretty much live off the same
four or five six meals all the time, and then
when I really wanted something delicious, I will go out

(52:46):
to eat and have somebody make it for me.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
Okay. Sound was thinking about this PGA as we were talking.
Not now, because I'm kind of busy with you know,
football season and stuff, and maybe like January, I want
to like make myself a guinea pig and you know,
try like a twenty four hour fast or something that
you come up with, like like next year, I want
you to come up with, you know, some of the
diety myths or whatever that are out there, and just

(53:09):
for sheer torture purposes, right, just just see if in
my own head, if I can do it, if I'm
strong enough to do it. Maybe let's find some things
that we can try and I can report back and
that will I'll give you some information too. I'll be
your huckleberrier. You're gonna figure the most painful thing in
the world.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
What are you doing yourself?

Speaker 4 (53:29):
Bro?

Speaker 2 (53:30):
God, hey, listen, listen.

Speaker 17 (53:31):
We're gonna do We're gonna do a juice fast on Monday,
and then we're gonna do no food on Tuesday, you know,
all all meat on Wednesday, and then all sugar on Thursday,
and then you're not gonna eat again until Sunday.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
How about that? And I'm willing to do it, man,
honest to God. Let's let's try it.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
And we're gonna have Kelly and ministers on Sunday and
see what happens to you.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
That's the real experiment is her is can she go
that week without killing me? That's because I will be
due as are off of that. That's the experiment. Now,
Rock Rock and I've talked about I brought this up before.
It's been a while.

Speaker 17 (54:12):
I I for years I've wanted to do the Cincinnati
diet as kind of an experiment. So, yeah, you and
I can do that together the other Yeah, what is it?

Speaker 2 (54:22):
Yeah? Great? Explain it's all Cincinnati food.

Speaker 17 (54:27):
So it's it's going to be the Roses Skyline, Uh,
Ryan Guy, Buskin, gold Star Rose, all gliers, Gotta or
getta all of it. And I guarantee that we can
lose weight eating nothing but Cincinnati born food.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
And what limit our calories to? What eighteen and two
thousands quantify? Yeah, we're gonna have to. I'll set you up, Rocky,
I'll do it with you.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
Does that.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
You said?

Speaker 1 (54:55):
Ryan? Guys, so you have a couple of beers along
the way.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
Yeah, we'll put those in sure. Yeah, because we have
we have a guy come on every year he does
beer fast.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
He does that at uh for lent, right and drinks
another but beer and he always loses like twenty pounds.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (55:11):
No, but I can tell you Look, if we do this,
I'm mis warning you we're both going to be ridiculously
hungry all the time because none of those foods are
They're tasty, but none of those foods are very satiating
at all.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
No, Like I mean to get our two thousand calories
of Cincinnati style chili is going to be not gonna
be a lot of food. No, it's gonna be a
couple of cheese conies the whole day. And that's it.

Speaker 17 (55:36):
That's the whole day. That would be honestly rocky. A
jumbo three way and two cheese conies. You're you're about
you're you're at your calorie limit for the day right there.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
Now, like like diet pop or anything. What do you drink?

Speaker 2 (55:50):
What calories? Yeah? Okay, yep, but I'm willing to do it.

Speaker 17 (55:55):
I'll probably only do it for a month, though, because
that's gonna it sounds great, It sounds fun, but it
would be.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
Let's just make January complete hell on me and you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Yeah, our good friend Jason Off huge news. We talked
a little bit about it today during the course of
the show. But Huge News kind of two related, but
separate FBI probes that have come out you know where
they've charges out. One is a illegal poker, high stakes
poker kind of thing going on. I'm using some high

(01:01:01):
tech and X ray glasses and all kinds of stuff.
And the other involving NBA and Parlays and a couple
of NBA players a coach Chauncey Billups involved in the
gambling world, and FBI is involved in Nanglenna be good.

Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
And in relation to that, we will be giving our
football picks for the week.

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
Yeah, why not?

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
But Jerro on your way to the long next to
you and Lance, I'm sure we'll be talking about this.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
Yeah, we'll probably touch on a little bit. We're heavy
Bengals and heavy football. But yeah, I'm sure we'll touch
on this. And we're at the rich Wood location. I
believe this is the last time at rich Wood. I
could be wrong, but we'll be there tonight.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
All right, Rock And speaking of such things, this is
a BP convenience store in Making, Missouri. Apparently they have
slot machines there.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
This was reported that that made it really handy for
Amber Butler thirty four to satisfy her gambling addiction. While
she was working in the store.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
That's rough.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
Only problem was her on the job wagering was that
she was allegedly taking money from the store's cash register
and the safe and feeding it into the machines.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
I mean, if you were a serious yeah, you had
a serious gambling problem and you had access to the
cash to be able to put insaid gambling machine, that
would be I'd be a real trick.

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
She also confessed to scratching lottery tickets she hadn't bought,
and stealing cigarettes and bottled water from the store, and
the story says, confusingly, she pleaded not guilty, not being
held in the county jail.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
Sure, there's a surveillance camera there, and yeah, how do
you say?

Speaker 12 (01:02:54):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
We sure went through it. It's ten thirty. How do
we go through all the scratch offs there? All the
scratch off and man, are people starting to smoke again?
Right right?

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
Well there you go, there you go. Gamely, addictions is
not good for your kids.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
No else isn't good. So we talked about tech and
AI a lot. Well, for the amazing things that AI
can do and can detect and all that, there's it
still has some bugs. So this is in Baltimore, Okay,
Baltimore County public schools. They have like an AI driven

(01:03:38):
gun detection software in schools. It's called the on Alert
Gun Detection System Okay uses AI to examine surveillance video
in order to identify a weapon, and within seconds they
can tell if somebody's carrying something this and that. And
this is at Kenwood High School, which is around Essex.

(01:03:59):
Taki Allen's a sophomore. He plays d end for the
school's football team. He just wrapped up practice and I
was walking off and you know, you know, getting ready
to go to his business, and all of a sudden,
like eight cop cars swarm up and come up on him,
get on the ground like you know, handcuffed, the whole deal.

(01:04:22):
And he was being looked at for having a gun. Well,
it turns out what this high tech system thought was
a gun was an empty Gurrido's bag.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
Yeah Yeah. Informed Allen that the ALI saysn't it falsely
identified the bag of Dorito's as a gun, which of
course shouldn't happen at all.

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
You talk about the incidents upsetting blah blah blah blah blah.
Uh police officers were, you know, obviously then kind of
wrapped everything up there. But yeah, they for whatever reason
it detected something in and whatever our room it uses
and said guy's got a gun. Contacted police. Boom, they

(01:05:06):
swarm on the scene.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
See charge.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
A pretty big difference in a Dorito bag an empty
Drea bag in a arm.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
I was did he have it folded?

Speaker 12 (01:05:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:05:18):
Yeah, maybe he made it gun. We've all done that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
You take a piece of paper and you're kind of
folded into a gun. Maybe, But I mean you just
kind of ate some drios after practice and was walking
around and boom.

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
I'll tell you, man, this happened to me a long
time ago when I was still living Dayton and my
buddy and I had come up. We're driving on seventy
five and he had this crappy old car and it
just just it's like whatever midnight or whatever it was,
and it just happened. We went dead right next to

(01:05:51):
an exit. So we walked down the exit. There was
a gas station right there, so we go in there.
And this is before we're obviously way before cell and
all that stuff. So we get in the payphone, call
his brother to come and pick us up or whoever
we call it I forget. But we're in there talking
to this dude who worked overnight. It was twenty four

(01:06:13):
hour station and this guy it was before they had
the little you set in your little bulletproof cage and stuff,
and just some dude just sitting there leaning against the wall,
smoking cigarettes, listen to the radio, and while my buddy's
on the phone. The only thing I can figure is
that I'm sitting there talking to the guy working there,

(01:06:33):
and I had my arm against the wall, just like
lean leaning against the wall talking to this guy. And
apparently somebody drove by us who lived near there, got
on the phone and said, there's somebody robbing the Sonoco
station right down the street from.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Where I live.

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
And I live at blah blah blah whatever the street was.
And so we're hanging out there for few minutes and
we're like, you know, we're gonna walk back up of
the car because his brother's coming to biggest. So so
he walk out there and as we're walking out the

(01:07:11):
door of the station, three dating cop cars come in
and guys jump out and and they're over their front doors.
Now you yeah, wow, with guns drawn, And I'm like,
do you want to if if I didn't pee my
pants that day, I guess I'm never going to pee

(01:07:31):
my pants because I was like, I mean, so, so,
what was the situation?

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
Somebody called and said they thought somebody was robbing it
because they said they saw a guy spread eagle with
his arms against the wall, lean up again, and I
was just leaning against them. It wasn't like I was
sitting there with both hands of the log, going hey,
how would this look if I, you know, if if
I was getting robbed?

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
But yeah, one hand on the wall, and the guy
called the copsillence.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
I guess in a way it's you know, they're they're
not taking any chances, right, but still you'd like to think,
you know, somebody would have some better information in that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:05):
Well, believe me whatever, I was eighteen year old Eddie Fingers,
Like I said, if I didn't pee my pants that day,
I reckon, I'm never going.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
To Yeah, and that would be scary staring on the
barrel of three guns.

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
Yeah, and rock speaking of criminal activity, but they speaking
of peeing. In South Carolina at this time, TikTok users
and others are following the escapades of the CCU pisser.
They're calling him. At the Coastal Carolina University campus, there's

(01:08:42):
a guy who goes around and apparently puts himself on TikTok,
relieving himself on various things around campus.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
You just walk around pin on stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:08:54):
Yeah, it features one inside you Pete on the logo
of the college, for example, and has one of himself
on the school's football field.

Speaker 5 (01:09:07):
CCU.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
I wouldn't comment on the shenanigans, but a detective quote unquote,
unaffiliated with the school is also who's also a big
time I guess he's got a following on TikTok because
he's following this guy says I know you are warning
the pissard that says I know your name and I

(01:09:29):
know where you're going to be next. So apparently this
guy thinks he knows who this guy is, so he's
threatening him that I'm going to follow you around and
the next time you appee on something, I'm gonna put
it on my TikTok.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
So dude, what, Yeah, come on, I know it's all
about content. You're struggling for content, just like we struggle
for content sometimes on this show. But come on, man,
you gotta do better than okay on stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:10:01):
And also a real quick story this this is crazy
a little town in Iowa, Jessup, Iowa is the police
department there is issued a warning that tpeing this Halloween
is banned and anyone doing it will face legal charges.

Speaker 4 (01:10:18):
Can't TP, ain't but anymore, not on Halloween. Apparently the
police have out again is this local or is this
somewhere else? No, this was in a little town Jessup, Iowa,
I don't know where that's at, labeled it harassment and
have identified multiple people whom they are investigating for trespassing,
criminal mischief, illegal dumping, and disorderly conduct. So you know,

(01:10:42):
beware before you TP somebody's house this year.

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):
I've done this one time, by the way, one TP
in my life, and like the family knew it. It
was a girl, you know, a bunch of us knew
in high school and they won the volleyball state title
or something, and so even the parents knew it, like
all right, yeah, so before they came home, we went
to you know and got it and sure it was
good fun. Yeah, well you would be don't do it

(01:11:08):
on Halloween, you'd be purp walked out of Jessup. Man
uh with the heat let's check in with traffic and weather.
What is going on going on?

Speaker 6 (01:11:17):
If we have illegal dumping on your property, you'd probably
want some TP. I'm just saying, you know, from think
about it. From the u SEE Health Traffic Center. Mammogram

more of a psychological advantage or a physical one?

Speaker 19 (01:12:40):

that's I was thinking initially, was I'm from the east,
you know, I'm from the New England area.

Speaker 19 (01:12:53):
And of course the Chargers from the West coast, so
they really couldn't go anywhere unless they flew in early
to practice some those kind of conditions unbelievable. I mean,
it was survival. I never played the game of football

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Along with a high stakes poker operations, ething is screwed up, man. Yeah,
with X ray glasses that can see the cars while
they're on the table. There's like cameras inside the chip racks.
It's pretty wild. I'm still getting a bunch of information
on it. But maybe our next guest. We usually talked

(01:13:53):
to him about some of the picks here, the NFL picks,
but Jason Hoffman, I guess, give us real quick your thoughts,
and was scoring on with his NBA gambling scandal and
Chauncey Billups and Roseer and what the heck's going on here?

Speaker 3 (01:14:06):
Right, Yeah, So it's two different things. The NBA stuff
is what we talked about earlier in the season when
we started this, and I said, having legalized sports betting
means that they can actually find this stuff now. They
had agencies companies have started that partner with sportsbooks because look,

(01:14:27):
Vegas doesn't want cheaters playing games, right, and they targeted
They've interviewed Terry Rozier in twenty thirteen multiple times. The
NBA cleared him of any wrongdoing, the FBI did not.
They continued the investigation, and today you see the results
of that. He's pulled himself out of games allegedly. I

(01:14:49):
say allegedly because their only charges are not convicted, but
he had pulled himself out of multiple games to ensure
that he under point total, under assist total, whatever ended
up happening. And that's the allegation. Now the poker thing
is really interesting because I do play poker. I don't

(01:15:13):
play high stakes poker because you know, I'm not a
wealthy person. But the poker thing is weird because Chauncey
Phillips and several other NBA players were allegedly VIPs that
invited high stakes poker players to play in these games
that were allegedly rigged. And you can do all this,

(01:15:35):
you know, you can get decks of cards made that
are marked where you know if somebody has an ace
or you know, somebody as a king, queen, whatever, So
that when the flop comes on the you know, the
flop comes, and then the turncard, the river card and

(01:15:56):
all that, you know exactly what's coming. And there have
been podcasts where professional poker players said they knew they
were losing to people they should not be losing to,
but they kept going back because the influence that the
mafia still has, they can get access for people all

(01:16:19):
this other stuff. So it is so weird and entangled.
I can't explain it in a few minutes, and I don't.
I'm not even an expert on it, but I know
how it works. I've heard about all this stuff how
it works. But it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
It's crazy. So I guess they would even get some
like former athletes involved in Yeah, go to go to
Eddie and say, hey, Eddie, would you like to play
poker with I'm making up a name, you know, Michael
Jordan or Charles Barkley.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
Oh cool.

Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
Yeah, And then they'd get these folks in there and
there was I mean name. It was a very system
organized sort of ling with the mob behind them.

Speaker 1 (01:16:58):
The guy Star would lure Eddie fingers in because you know,
man ten thousand and a hand, Yeah, yeah, day every day.
But those guys were called the face cards. Yeah, and
then of course you had the fish, yes, and then
you had the quarterback. They were relaying all the cards
to It was bizarre, man, very bizarre. But anyways, we'll

(01:17:20):
talk more about that. Let's get to the games, starting
with tonight. Our guest is Jason Hoffin from The Inquirer
at Cincinnati dot com. The game tonight, for anybody you
know cares to bet Vikings at Chargers, I'm seeing Chargers
by three Jays.

Speaker 2 (01:17:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:17:40):
So this game opened at two and a half and
it's moved to three because of money on the Chargers,
specifically because of Carson Wentz. He showed no ability to
score touchdowns last week, and quite frankly, you know, the
Vikings are not going to go with JJ McCarthy tonight.
He still the back, the emergency backup quarterback. So I'm

(01:18:03):
all over the Chargers on this. Their defense is way
too good for the Vikings to take advantage of anything,
and they're going to have a run game that's solid.
So Chargers minus three minus three and a half, that's
fine with me.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
A weird one, Jason. So the Bengals, of course play
the Bears in two weeks. But this week the Bears
play the lowly Ravens who are one in five, and
you look at the line, it's Ravens minus six and
a half over the Bears. What's going on with this one?

Speaker 3 (01:18:34):
Yeah, so the Bears they've got lucky the last three weeks.

Speaker 2 (01:18:40):
I'll say that they're four and too, by the way
I should mention like and you know, obviously doing pretty good,
but you're saying it's been some close at the end
kind of weird wins.

Speaker 3 (01:18:51):
Yeah, they called a guy off the street and he
made a forty four yarder to win the game last week.
You know that kind of stuff. So here's the thing.
Baltimore is going to get Lamar Jackson back. They're getting
very healthy this week, and they are in must They
are in must win mode right now. So this game
opened at four and a half when nobody knew if

(01:19:13):
Lamar Jackson was gonna play. He's going to play, So
that's why it moved. Baltimore is one in five against
the spread. Now, four of those losses came with Lamar
Jackson out. I am all over Baltimore in this game.
And you know, for CINCINNTI rooting interest We've got to
hope that the they go kind of rough on the
Bears so that the Bengals don't have to face a

(01:19:35):
fully healthy Bears team next week.

Speaker 1 (01:19:37):
Yeah, that's what I's going to ask you with because
the over on this is forty nine, And I was like,
how the hell's it forty nine the Bears and the Ravens.
Not if I didn't I thought Jackson was coming back
next week, but hell, they got Lamar back. Well, bets
are off, I guess for me anyway, Yeah, for sure,
all right, next game, well, seeing the Baker Mayfield Bucks

(01:20:03):
at the Saints. And surprisingly the Buck's only favored by four.

Speaker 3 (01:20:07):
In this game, and that's because of their performance in
Detroit last week or on Monday Night football. They're also
at arrest disadvantage. New Orleans obviously played on Sunday, they
played on Monday. They also have to travel to New Orleans.
They are zero to three the last three times they've

(01:20:27):
played at arrest disadvantage and had to go on the road.
So I don't really like this spot, except for the
fact that the Saints are so bad. So I'm going
to take tamp Bay minus the points.

Speaker 2 (01:20:40):
Even though I don't like it all right, speaking of
another bad team, and look a matchup, Jason, I played
in with two different teams twelve times. Right, Tennessee Titans
at the Indianapolis Colts. Titans, of course, just fired their
coach Callahan last week. Colts easily the surprise team of

(01:21:02):
the NFL this year. Daniel Jones has been absolutely resurrected
in a huge number. I think the biggest number I've
seen all year Colts minus fourteen and a half, which
is just astronomical in an NFL game.

Speaker 3 (01:21:18):
Yeah, it's it's kind of a ridiculous line, to be honest.
I handicapped this at ten Indianapolis minus ten, and then
I saw that it opened at fourteen, and I was
blown away because I'm usually within two and a half
three points of whatever I handicap before the lines come out.
I don't I've said this before you on your show.

(01:21:40):
I don't know if you can make the line too
high for me on an Indianapolis looks like an AFC contender,
like a legit AFC contender, and I'm going to take
them to just blow the brakes off of the Titans.

Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
All right, Well, going to Sunday night, how about Packers?
Had Steelers the the Rogers Bowl pack favored by three
over Aaron and Friends in the over forty five.

Speaker 3 (01:22:11):
Yeah. What's funny is yesterday Aaron Rodgers said, Oh, this
isn't a revenge game.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
It's absolutely revenge. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:22:19):
And and no matter what he wants to say publicly,
you know that he's got a fire in there. Now.
The funny thing is Mike Tomlin is a home favorite.
His teams don't do that great, especially in primetime. But
green Bay is zero to three against the spread. Isn't
a way favorite this year when they're on the road,

(01:22:42):
and I see that coming back to fruition, I think
I think the Steelers might win outright, because we saw
what the Bengals did to the Steelers in the second
half of that first year of Flacco game. I don't
think green Bay is as good as their record.

Speaker 2 (01:22:57):
Interesting, Yeah, I mean it wasn't as rowing away with
him when the when the Bengals played him, So yeah,
I think Steve there certainly have a chance coming off
a bad win or assuming a bad loss. From their
perspective to the Bengals last week, I just go the
Monday night game. Jason, the Commanders at the Chiefs talk
about resurrected Chiefs were left for dead. The franchise, the

(01:23:20):
whole dynasty is over, and they've been absolutely rolling here
for a while. Minus. I'm seeing minus eleven and a
half over the Commanders.

Speaker 3 (01:23:30):
Yeah, give me, give me the Chiefs minus whatever number
right now? What they just put on film last week.
I don't know whom, how many he will pay attention,
but Andy Reid set that game up offensively perfectly against
the Raiders. I mean, he put Gardner Minshew in at

(01:23:51):
the end of the third quarter because they were up
so much. Andy Reid uses he used eight different types
of screen plays to set up other screenplays and just
to mand dismantle that defense. And that Raiders defense, in
my opinion, is better than the Commander's defense. So I

(01:24:12):
will take Kansas City monus whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:24:15):
All right, well the game here. How about j e
ts Jets versus the Flacos. Because if I read one
more thing, and Jason, I'm going to appeal to you,
because you you were the sports editor. If I read
one more thing about what toilet paper Joe Flacco uses,
where Joe Flacco eats, what car he drives, I'm going

(01:24:39):
to spit. But it's a jets.

Speaker 3 (01:24:42):
Come on, come on, man, Joe, Joe Flacco explaining how
amazing it is as a family man and a dad.
But just sit down here and kneel by yourself and quiet. Yeah,
that was the most relatable thing I ever heard.

Speaker 1 (01:24:57):
Well, I totally agree with that. I'm just giving your cry.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
I ate alone for probably the second half of my
NFL career, the last four years, I was on my
living on my own, you know, nobody there, eating every
meal by myself, and it's it's it's oddly satisfying, you know,
just kind of alone with your thoughts.

Speaker 1 (01:25:17):
It's it's when I was a single man, I used
to do it all the time. Yeah, and Jason can
relate it. You're you're you're still a smoker. And I
used to like nothing better than to get a booth
in a bar someplace where you could smoke, sit there,
read a magazine, have a cigarette, drink a beer or
a glass of wine or something, and have a nice Cheeseburgeram.

Speaker 2 (01:25:38):
I was in heaven.

Speaker 1 (01:25:40):
Uh with the with that, we got jets here at
Bengals and Bengals by six and a half, I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:25:48):
Yeah, so this opened it five and a half, and
it moved a point because Sauce Gardener is not going
to play and neither is the Ohio state wide receiver.

Speaker 2 (01:26:00):
To good his name, But.

Speaker 3 (01:26:02):
The Bengals like the only the only issue here is
that they are on nine and one coming off a
mini buy. The last ten seasons, they have not won
coming out of a Thursday night game in ten years.

Speaker 2 (01:26:23):
So that's the that's the teach here.

Speaker 3 (01:26:26):
And I gotta say, Zach Killer had a breakdown at
some point, so why not this week?

Speaker 2 (01:26:32):
All right? Well, I've been talking more or less all week.

Speaker 14 (01:26:36):
This is a.

Speaker 2 (01:26:38):
Easily one game by the Bengals. All of us here
have how many times always said that, yeah, exactly, there
can be some some tape getting replayed if they don't win.
Hopefully they get this thing done. Jason, before we let
you go a couple, I mean, there's some really good
college games this weekend. Kind of think of which one
I ask you about. Let's go, Let's go Old Miss

(01:27:02):
at Oklahoma. You know Old Miss coming off. You know,
they look great for three quarters against Georgia last week
and then I think they got outscored seventeen to nothing
in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 (01:27:12):
They lose.

Speaker 2 (01:27:13):
Now they have to go to Oklahoma, and I'm seeing
Oklahoma is minus five and a half.

Speaker 5 (01:27:22):
Yeah, so my playing this game is the over.

Speaker 3 (01:27:25):
Steve Sarkisian worked with Lane Kiffin, and Steve Sarkisian's offense
destroyed Oklahoma in that Red River rivalry, and I got
to believe that Lane Kiffin is going to be able
to scheme up some stuff to score a bunch of points.
So my name playing this game is the over. But
I'm also going to take old miss plus the points

(01:27:46):
and to win out.

Speaker 1 (01:27:47):
Right, All right, cool, straight, I'll take it all right
with that, Jason Hoffman, we will let you go, Thanks
so much, buddy.

Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
All right, guys, let's go make some money, all right, Jays,
thanks party.

Speaker 1 (01:27:58):
See you, buddy. Stay away from those X ray glasses.
And when you're at the casino, I.

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
Mean it's you know, you think. I think when people
think the mob, they think of like, you know, the
sixties and right, you know, even earlier in Alcohmaho and yeah, yeah,
all that kind of thing. But I guess it's they're
very much alive and well involved in gambling.

Speaker 1 (01:28:19):
Yes, we will discuss more, I'm sure about this in
the next few days. But right now, let's discuss traffic

To a gig, yes round table show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:29):
It is the gig economy these days, you know, man.
It's got to make a living right now. Though we
always like to around about this time, talk to our
friends at ABC. In this case it's ABC News Investigative
reporter Peter Harlem Booze and Peter, what do we know
about the whole this destruction of the East wing of
the White House, and there's going to be pushed back

(01:31:50):
on this because the deal is done.

Speaker 4 (01:31:52):
Now.

Speaker 12 (01:31:53):
Yeah, I think that's exactly right. The East Wing as
of this afternoon is completely leveled. We seet satellite imageries,
We've seen photos from the ground showing that the entire
area is gone. Basically that at this point it has
been leveled ahead of this ballroom project. And there's significant
concern among historians that all of this was done without

(01:32:16):
the proper approval process and the necessary kind of preservation.
The President has kind of shaken off those criticisms and
said that his private ballroom is going to be one
of the greatest projects the White Touch has ever seen.
And it seems like they're steaming forward with this project.

Speaker 2 (01:32:33):
I mean, let's be honest. People are our rage because
it's Trump doing. I mean, people have been renovating the
White House for like one hundred years. Nineteen oh two,
Teddy Roosevelt renovated the West Wing or built the West
Wing nineteen oh nine, Taft nineteen thirty three, Roosevelt nineteen
forty eight, Harry Truman nineteen seventy, Nixon, Obama in two
thousand and nine. And unless I'm looking at the wrong picture.

(01:32:56):
I've seen like the overhead kind of maps of it
in compaired to the entirety of the White House and
all the grounds. I mean, the part that they're discmanling
is a pretty small section. Am I wrong?

Speaker 12 (01:33:09):
Yeah, I mean that's a good point. I mean, historically
there has been constant renovations and changes to the White House.
This has been the case for basically every president. Something
has happened to change the area. But in the past,
when that has happened, it has gone through a robust
process that's kind of enshrined in federal law. There's a
commission in Washington, DC. It's actually within the executive branch,

(01:33:31):
the president's own appointees, called the National Capital Planning Commission,
that has a kind of a thorough process to sign
off on these projects to make sure that they kind
of align with other buildings in the federal governments, that
they don't kind of harm things with historical significance. And
the president itself has kind of gone through this process
in the past. Is the first Lady Milania Trump created

(01:33:54):
a tennis pavilion during the first term. They went through
that process for approvals when they built that. The president
when he purchased a building in Washington, DC to make
a hotel. In twenty thirteen, he purchased a historic government
building to make it into a luxury hotel. He even
though he was dealing with private money, had to go
through the same kind of commission approval process in this case,

(01:34:16):
though the President ultimately has said that there's no need
for that at this point and that he's going to
go ahead with this project. Again coming back to the
idea that this is privately funded, kind of suggesting that
the funding difference here makes a difference in terms of
what kind of approval was necessary.

Speaker 1 (01:34:32):
Peter Harlem Boose is our guest, and absolutely, you know,
there's no reversing at this stage of the game.

Speaker 3 (01:34:40):
Peter.

Speaker 1 (01:34:41):
So, is there going to be pushed back on this
or is it a full speed ahead here as far
as construction goes.

Speaker 12 (01:34:46):
Yeah, at this point it looks like it's full cv ahead.
We're heading into a Washington DC winter. I see no
reason why they'd slow down at this rate, considering this
is kind of the optimal temperature to be doing this
kind of project, especially ahead of the potentially cold and
icy winter. And on top of that, the President has
made clear that His goal is to have this project
done well before he leaves office. He wants to be

(01:35:07):
able to use this ballroom, enjoy this ballroom while he's
still president. And if you look at the rate of
this construction project and the lack of that kind of oversight,
it seems like he's going to get there. So even
if there are concerns among historians, among architects the damage,
in a way, he's already done. The East Wing is gone,
so the White House is likely to be being continuing.

(01:35:28):
There doesn't even appear to be kind of a legal
recourse that they could pursue to fix this. It's not
like they can go sue to stop this. Not only
is it over and done with, there isn't really a
clear avenue to challenge this.

Speaker 13 (01:35:40):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
So talk to me again, Peter about the funding for it.
So you're saying, in past, you know, renovations has been
public money, but this is private money. Did I hear
that correct? That's right?

Speaker 12 (01:35:52):
So in this case, the president has said that this
is going to be fully funded by himself and his donors.
We know some of those donors, for example, you know,
we're seeing tech companies contributing to this kind of throwing
ten twenty million dollars to pay for this project. That's
where it gets a bit tricky with the law.

Speaker 14 (01:36:10):
There.

Speaker 12 (01:36:10):
There are some historical examples, for example, White House presidential
libraries are constructed using private money that are fully privately
done until they're completed. At that point they're handed over
to the federal government for running. So it's not unprecedented
that he's paying for this out of his own money,
but it does complicate the policies governing this, and certainly

(01:36:32):
the President has pointed to that as part of the
reason why, in his eyes, he doesn't have to go
through the same approval process.

Speaker 2 (01:36:38):
I feel like people would be freaking out more if
he was using you know, tens and hundreds of millions
of dollars out of taxpayer money the way it's been
done in the past, like when Obama did it on
nine and that kind of thing. But it's private money.
I guess, you know, what can anybody do?

Speaker 12 (01:36:52):
That's exactly right? And again, this is unique. We don't
really see this happening at the White House in terms
of this kind of construction project, but still it has
sparked real significant concern. If you ask historians, if you
ask architects in the area that basically a piece of
history has vanished overnight. Certainly, that's not to say that

(01:37:12):
this new part of the White House is not going
to be beautiful, that it's not going to be well built.
It's just the fact that there was so little oversight
when this happened so quickly.

Speaker 1 (01:37:21):
All Right with that, Peter Harlem boost, we will let
you go, thanks so much, thanks for having me. Thanks Peter,
Peter from ABC News.

Speaker 2 (01:37:29):
I mean, I'm looking at a report right now. I've
seen any report from twenty ten that the Obama administration
plans where we put in the basketball courts and tennis
courts three hundred and seventy six million dollars taxpayer money.

Speaker 1 (01:37:41):
Rock in other news, talk about demolition here. This happened
in Turkey, talk about a dope. Well, this happened a
couple of weeks ago in Turkey. According to the New
York Post, a million dollar yacht was being launched into

(01:38:05):
the water off of Zoon Dugach, Turkey.

Speaker 2 (01:38:09):
Beautiful place this time of year.

Speaker 1 (01:38:11):
Absolutely dolce Vento was the name of the yacht. A
million dollar, eighty five foot yacht. You know, I'm sure
the beautiful whoever broke a bottle of champagne and slid
into the water and everybody's happy, happy, happy. It immediately

(01:38:32):
started listening to its listening to its port side before
it completely sank into the bottom of the ocean.

Speaker 2 (01:38:38):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (01:38:39):
The new owner, captain, and two crew members were able
to jump overboard and swim to the nearby shore without injury.
Ship Yard officials said the cause of the sinking was
under investigation.

Speaker 2 (01:38:52):
So, I mean, was it just they built it wrong
or are they launched it too hard?

Speaker 1 (01:39:00):
But I would think that if it just slid off
of it and just went.

Speaker 2 (01:39:06):
But you know, I don't know, because I've seen these
before where you know, you launch them in like the
angle instead of just kind of gracefully going in the waters,
kind of goes and scrapes the bottom.

Speaker 1 (01:39:16):
And that's pretty much why the thing happened. It just
went in wrong and just kind of but still though, man, God,
I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:39:25):
You got it. I mean I couldn't imagine the feeling
if a you were the person that owned it, or
be the person that built it. Man, look at this,
the fruits of my labor.

Speaker 1 (01:39:35):
We're golden.

Speaker 2 (01:39:36):
Gosh, have you ever owned a boat, not a yacht.
I see a yacht, but you're on the boat.

Speaker 1 (01:39:46):
I never owned a boat. I've talked about it. Being
on the river and stuff would be fun, but I
don't know. If I was in Florida or something like
that where you could use it year round, yeah maybe
I would. I think about it, but just have it
being able to use it from whatever April to now.

Speaker 2 (01:40:06):
I'm not a I gotta I'm not even a huge boak.
I like him. I have no interest at all period myself,
of owning a boat. But you know, if someone has one.

Speaker 1 (01:40:16):
Yeah, it'd be Like I said, it'd be fun, but
I think it would get old after a while just
going up and down the river. If, like I said,
if you lived in Florida and you had access to
the ocean, or even if you lived on like a
key you lived up in like on Lake Erie or something,
and you could, you know, have plenty of places to go,
that would be cool.

Speaker 2 (01:40:35):
If yeah, if you got to launch it, I feel
like nine nine times out of ten, you're like, eh,
I ain't gonna do it. But my buddy, he's got
a place in Florida and he's on the inner coastal
and his boat is on one of those you know,
little lifts, So anyone he just walks up, hits the buttons,
lowers it down in, and you go, that's that's how

(01:40:55):
you do it.

Speaker 1 (01:40:55):
That is cool because there are people in Sarasota like
that where we have our a timeshare down there, I
mean the ultra nice places, right. You see their little
boat launches exactly what you're talking about. You hit the button,
drops it in the water, off you go, come back
back it in, raises it up. You're good. But when
a hurricane comes.

Speaker 2 (01:41:16):
In, yeah, that's that's it's only in Florida. It's it's
usually not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

Speaker 1 (01:41:24):
Well that's uh, that's the thing with anybody I've talked
to who lives in Florida and the like I said,
our timeshare right on the coast down in Sarasota, and
that last couple of hurricanes, those back to back hurricanes
