Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And big guy, Big Sports Weekend coming back here in
the big town.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yes, sir, and for your Cincinnati Bangles aid somehow please
got a fine boy. They get back on the winning
side here.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Yeah, but unfortunately, uh the Patriots and look who have
won eight straight, playing really really well under Mike Brabel,
and it's gonna be a tough one.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
And here to discuss whether us. He's a senior reporter
from Patriots dot Com. Also hosts the Patriots Catch twenty
two at Patriots dot Com. Evan Lazarre, Welcome to the program.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
How you guys doing good?

Speaker 1 (00:40):
So things are humming right along in New England? And
is it Brabel? It seems like that fever's taken hold
up there?

Speaker 4 (00:50):
Yeah, absolutely, he's He's done a fantastic job. And you
just see a great mix of you know, football acumen
and extus and O's with alpha leadership style that he
had as a player come to fruition. And he's got
a great staff around him with Josh McDaniels and John
Striker who's kind of his right hand man. And so

(01:10):
it's just a great combination of minds right now for
the Patriots. And it's a well coached football team and
you see it in the results in the record, but
he also can kind of feel it day to day
that you know, the culture in the locker room in
the one eighty that they did from the last couple
of years.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
And Evan, it seems like it's a team that has
taken on the identity of the coach, right Rabel, tough guy,
you know, Ohio State, former Patriot and all those great teams,
you know, gonna win on toughness and discipline and all that,
and it seems like how they're playing right, Yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Would agree with that to an extent. But I think
the biggest difference between the teams that Rabel played on
here and this Patriots team is just how explosive their
offense is in the passing game. Is they're an offense
that with Brady was always super and always ahead of
the chains, and they weren't in really any bad situations

(02:06):
in terms of down and distances and stuff like that.
You know, this Patriots team might have a negative player
two on first and second down, but then on third
and twelve, Drake may makes a play. You know, he
just makes a play down the field is deep. Passing
numbers are absolutely off the charts, they're top five in
the league and exposed to play rate on offense. So

(02:26):
I would say that's the biggest difference in terms of
the style of play between this team and maybe the
teams that was either quarterback by Tom Brady or played
for with you know, Raybol. And it's been really cool
to kind of see that development from McDaniels too in
this offense that they're they're throwing the ball down the
field a lot more than maybe what we've seen in

(02:49):
the past.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
And yeah, seems like Drake May, you know, now in
his second year, has really come on in what ways
has he gotten better and improved and really leading this team.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Yeah, I think that's you know, we're a good place
to start. You just said leading this team. I think
that's been a huge area of emphasis, you know, from
an intangible standpoint with Mike Rabel since the day that
he got here, was developing Drake May into a leader.
And Rabel's the first one to tell you that he's
not going to come in here and teach Drake May

(03:23):
quarterback mechanics and footwork and be breaking down you know,
progressions and things like that, like he's going to leave
that kind of stuff to Josh McDaniels, but the actual
leadership element of it is something that he has pushed
heavily with Drake May. And you see Drake May really
taking on that role just as a second year quarterback,
as a twenty three year old kid, he's really stepped

(03:46):
to the forefront and a team captain and is doing
all those types of things. Then, as a player, I
would say the biggest area growth for him is remaining
a passer for as long as possible. I think as
a rookie, he's such a great scrambler that he had
a tendency to maybe leave some pockets early and just
start scrambling around. Where now he's using his legs to

(04:09):
extend plays and buy time in the pocket while keeping
his eyes down the field and then making these big
throws down the field off platform, which I think is
a really big area of emphasis. And then also growth
is just you know, knowing that, Okay, I can just
move a little to my left or a little to
my right, or step up in this pocket to keep
myself protected and then hurt team still with my arm

(04:32):
and not rely so much on the scrambling.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
And Evan remind me I feel like I recall in
the twenty twenty four draft that May was taken in.
Weren't the Patriots offered like three first round picks for
their selection, maybe by the Vikings, And I guess, you know,
at the time, it's like, boy, that's you know, a
pretty hard thing to turn down. But I guess now
look looking pretty good that decision.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, there was definitely trade chatter, both of the Giants
and the Vikings. The Giants were at six, I remember
that off the top of my head.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
They ended up taking.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
Malik Neighbors there and then the Vikings, I want to say,
we're at like eight, and that of course was JJ McCarthy.
So there was some conversations there about trading down, but
I remember it might have been on hard knocks the
Giants side with them trying to negotiate a trade for
the Patriots third overall pick. And I remember at the

(05:29):
time the Patriots general manager Elliot Wolf just saying we
didn't have a quarterback, then we would be having a
different discussion. But we need the quarterback and Drake May
is sitting there or Jayden Daniels whatever it ends up being,
So we're going to stick and pick the quarterback. And
good things that they did, because you know, it's it's
really been you know, we're able deserves a ton of
the credit, but you know, Drake May is the reason

(05:51):
why the Patriots are nine and two.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Evin Lazarre from Patriots dot Com as our guest and Evan,
you guys got to dealing with a few injuries, especially
a big one on the d line.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah, yeah, So that's really their first big injury, i
would say, of the year, which is a big part
of their record as well. The Patriots have only placed
two players on injured reserve during the season, so quite
a bit different in what's going on with the Bengals. Right, So,
Milton Williams is now on injured reserve with a high

(06:24):
ankle sprain. He's going to be out at least the
next four games. And he's just been every single thing
that they hoped that he would be when they signed
him as a free agent back in March as the
highest paid free agent.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
In the NFL last offseason.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
And he's been terrific, terrific motor, excellent pressure player, you know,
third in the league and pass rush win rate among
interior defensive linemen, good against the run, hustles, on every
single play, you know, sideline the sideline through the whistle
kind of player, and that was a big thing that
the Patriots also in one of their team identities is

(06:59):
effort and it's a big part of the Mike Rabel
message and Milan Williams was really bringing that to life
on the field. So replacing him is not going to
be easy. You know, They're going to probably do it
by aggregate and have a couple of different guys that
are going to try to fill in there. They still
have Christian Barmore on the inside is a very good
player as well, but that was supposed to be a

(07:20):
duo or a tandem there on the inside and has
been for the majority of the season. But they'll be
without Williams for this game against the Bengals, but also,
you know, just looking big picture, two games against the
Bills and the Ravens after their bye week as well,
So some really big games coming up that Milan Williams
will miss.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
So for Bengals fans listen to this that are obviously
going to tune into the game. You mentioned Drake may
mentioned a couple of pieces on defense, But what's another
strength of this team? Evan as you watch them week
in and week out. What's another place you think this
team really has it well.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
I think it's a couple of places.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
You know, their wide receiving core has been a lot
better than they expected coming into the season. Now, maybe
you give some of that credit to May and McDaniels
and McDaniels scheming it up and Drake putting the ball
in great places. But Kayshawan Boody sounds like he's going
to be back this week. He's been missing the last
couple of weeks, and he's kind of May's favorite down

(08:16):
the field, deep threat, you know, outside the numbers type
of receiver LSU guys just like Jamar Chase, so he
has that kind of skill set. And then Stefan Dicks
has obviously been fantastic. You know, everything I said about
Milton Williams applies to Stefon Diggs too. He has been
exactly what the doctor ordered for them. Veteran, steady, presidence,

(08:36):
leader on and off the field, and productive.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
So he's been a.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Home run signing as well. And then I would say,
you know, on the defensive side of the ball, they
feel pretty good about their cornerback tandem and Christian Gonzalez
and Carlon Davis, And I know, you know, last year
in the opener, you guys saw Christian Gonzalez and Jamar
Chasco toe to toe and he's an all Pro caliber
corner and Carlon Davis is a pretty good number two corner.
So they have that ability with those two guys to

(09:03):
match up against the opponents receivers and Tie Higgins and
I'm sure going to see uh plenty maybe of both
of those guys honestly, depending on how the Patriots decided
to do things without chasing there. So I think those
sort of twosomes, if you will, have been real strength
of this team, both you know, Williams and Barmore, Gonzalez
and Davis, you know, Diggs and Booty like that's kind

(09:25):
of been the bedrock of the team outside of Drake May.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Evin Lazar from Patriots dot Com is our guest, and
Evan wants the chat up your guys way as far
as to who's going to be playing quarterback for the
Bengals on Sunday, because honestly, here in Cincinnati, we don't
know either.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
I know when you guys are asking me all these
questions about the Patriots and I want to ask you
guys questions, like the heck is going to be a
quarterback for you know, everything right now with the Patriots
is pretty much status quo. You know, they had the
Thursday night game against the Jets, and then they had
to make bye week coming off the Thursday night game,
so everybody's getting a little bit healthier. They had a

(10:05):
little time off. Like, there's not much to talk about
in terms of changes or anything like that outside of
the Williams injury for the Patriots. So all of our
eyes are are focus right now on you guys and
what's going on with Joe Burrow. So I would assume
that it's going to be him right like, it looks
like everything's trending towards Burrow coming back this week, which

(10:25):
gives this game definitely a little bit more juice.

Speaker 5 (10:28):
I think that was.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
As much as Patriots fans. I think we're reveling in
the fact that Chase wasn't going to play and that
this was probably going to be one of those games
where they could chock it up to a win and
keep this thing rolling. The Patriots do need to get
battle tested here a little bit against some better teams
and they will, you know, against Buffalo and Baltimore, like
I mentioned, after their bye week. But now all of

(10:51):
a sudden, this changes the whole complexion of this game.
And this is another one that you can really be
a little bit battle tested by. So there's so much
talk around here, guys about the easy schedule that the
Patriots have had, and pretty much every single metrics says
that they have the easiest schedule in football, and the
Patriots fans get a little bit sensitive about that, and

(11:11):
you know, people are kind of poking the bear when
it comes to the easy schedule conversation.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
But going into Cincinnati.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
And beating Joe Burrow is not an easy win. So
I think there's both, you know, a positive and negative
aspect of it in that sense.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
No, and people mention that, but I mean at the
time you beat the Bucks, you know, they were playing
pretty good. And I still think they're a good team.
Beat the Bills. They're a good team with maybe the
best player in the NFL on it. So I wouldn't
say it's been a completely easy schedule.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
No, it hasn't been.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
You know, those two games definitely stand out, but they've
also cleaned up against some really bad teams. Now, to
their credit, they've made the really bad teams look really bad.
And that's what you want to see when you're a
good football team. And one of the things that Mike
Rabel said at his introductory press conference that was sort
of the first that for the program when they hired him,

(12:02):
was taking advantage of bad football. So the Patriots have
passed that test. You know, They've beaten the Tennessee's, the
New Orleans and the Cleveland's, the Jets, you know, those
types of teams, and they've been able to win the
games that you also were kind of more coin flip games,
like the Bills in Tampa Bay. So they've passed every

(12:22):
test so far. So you know, it's not that you
know they haven't, but I think that a lot of
people now are like, all right, well, you got to
this point, you're probably gonna be in the playoffs. So
hopefully when the division, you know, now the goalposts have moved,
let's win playoff games, right, you know, now that everybody's
getting a taste of it, everyone's a little bit greedy.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
All right with that, Evan, we will let you go, man,

Right in this saying history Vember twentieth, nineteen eighty two.
Certainly it'll go down in history is one of the
most famous, unbelievable endings to a football game. Of course,
talking about cow eating Stanford. Right, and here was the
radio call, im.

Speaker 11 (15:16):
It'll probably try to swim it, and he does. Row
comes blows of the Bears have to get out of bounds.
Rogers along the sideline on. Otherwise they're still in deep
trouble at with Bill.

Speaker 6 (15:27):
They tried to.

Speaker 11 (15:28):
Dull a couple of the ball is still as they
get a the Rodgers, they get a crack.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Out of the party.

Speaker 11 (15:33):
They're down on the twenty all the band is out
of the band. What oh God, come out some mighty
sensational traumatic part running exciting, Twilley finished in the history

(15:54):
of Palace Football.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, I mean you've never seen really anything like that before.
The pitches back and forth and what's going on.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
I remember seeing that and thinking, well, there has to
be some kind of penalty or some thus happened. Yeah, no,
knocked the tuba play over and run into the end
zone and often forgotten. You know the Stanford's quarterback was
John Elway. Oh wow.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Yeah, and it's funny. I was reading up on it,
and he said, when he's been asked about it, you know,
when the band coming on the field and all that,
He said, Yeah, each year it gets a little funnier,
he total reporter. But it sure wasn't a lot of
fun at the time.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
So that's probably again, maybe the one of them, certainly
one of, if not the most famous, but I think
more any kind of I guess a more recent improbable
play that happened in terms of last play of the game,
seventy eighth Iron Bowl, November thirtieth, twenty thirteen, all versus Alabama.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Here's how it sounded.

Speaker 12 (17:03):
Well, I guess if this thing comes up short, he
can feel it and run it out.

Speaker 13 (17:07):
All right, here we go.

Speaker 12 (17:10):
Fifty six shorter, it's got no does not have the leg,
and when Chris Tavis takes it to the back of
the end zone, he'll run it out to the ten fifteen,
twenty twenty five, thirty thirty five, forty forty five, fifty
forty five.

Speaker 6 (17:23):
There goes dis Oh my god, this is Luver's gonna
win a football game. BLOB's gonna win a football game.
They ran the best fail dog back. They ride it
back out one hundred of dime yards.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
They not on the table, up the tails a dime
ball like.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Cow I didn't know LA used to do at Wow,
that's impressive, that's great.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
I remember being in the car listen that, honest to God,
and that's like kind of right when I started doing
college Wogans around twenty thirteen.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
There right, and uh they're listening. No way, no way.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
That's why my dear late buddy Vick Henley was Auburn grad.
His brothers played for Auburn, and I called him right
right after that happened. I'm just sitting there. I still
can't believe it. I'm gonna go get drunk, but.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
To be fair, he was gonna get drunk.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
You know, it's sad drunk instead of extremely happy drunk.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
So anyway, just stay in history. The band is out
on the field.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
If you haven't for whatever reason, you've never seen that
looking up because it's pretty pretty damn funny.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah, yeah, so rock.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Speaking of funny, but also sad and stupid. This happened
in uh, Montana, where a lot of crazy things happen.
You know, a guy James Howard is a fellow's name.
He is driving his Chevy Suburban on Missoula Highway there

(19:04):
when he rear ended a Volkswagen carrying two people. A
high webtrol sir arrived at the crash scene reported seeing
Howard with a large Budweiser can in his right hand,
which when he walked up the side of the car,
the guy was holding it and then he put it
down on the console there, you know, in the cup holder. Howard.

(19:25):
Cops say, handed over the beer can, Sir, what's that?
He picked it up and he said, uh.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
What.

Speaker 13 (19:33):
All this?

Speaker 1 (19:34):
And he hands them the beer can and the cop says, sir,
it's a beer. He goes, oh, no, that has urine
in it. Yeah, like that, like that was going to
get him away with it. Uh. He further explained that
he rear into the vehicle because he was attempting to
pee into that beer can while he was driving.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
We've all tried it. I've all done it.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Into what can no can at ay bought a works.
I was going to say, you got to get the
big mouth thing that I need the big mouth. But
it helped frame.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
I knew there was a jug coming I did.

Speaker 5 (20:11):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
But yeah, this guy had a history of he said,
of course the old I just had one beer, just one.
He was the police reportedly smelled, said he smelled of alcohol.
His speech was slow and slurred, and his pants were
wet with urine.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
I guess when that way he wasn't lying.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Now, look, when you get pulled over by the cops,
that's a really bad look.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
It's bad.

Speaker 5 (20:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Now they got the body camera on. The whole thing's
just right insult injury.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Well I would at least have pride enough to say, well,
I guess when I hit impact, that's beer on my pants.
I go, I peel it all up for myself.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
This is no good answer either way. I add my
beer or it really doesn't look this.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
It's not as bad as it looks, right, Yeah, at
least I'm not that. Let's talk to Doug in Mount Washington. Ay, Doug,

had never really admitted that he had killed this guy.
And he's laying there in his deathbed and it was
like his son leans into him and says, father, did

Speaker 13 (25:41):
Here.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
So, I'm not sure if you've heard about this, but
about this kid in Indianaho's on the verge of breaking
Derrick Henry's high school rushing record, which is an all
time record.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
I saw it mentioned a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, so a game coming up this weekend and he
has a chance of breaking it. So again, the kid's
name is Miles McLoughlin. Okay, and this is in Knox, Indiana,
Knox Community High School.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Smaller school.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
I think it's like less than a thousand people, and
there's not hardly you know, it's like even like a
small town. It's a town of you know, like less
than four thousand people combined. Right, So smaller deal. But
to McLoughlin, star running back Knox Community High School, it's
just three hundred and sixty five yards away from tying
Henry's high school record.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
What is Henry's record. Well, Henry carried the ball in
high school.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
One thousand, three hundred and ninety seven times for twelve thousand,
one hundred and twenty four yards and one hundred and
fifty three touchdown.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
I tell you all the time.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Go online, go on YouTube and just YouTube Derrick Henry
Juley high School. And he looks like the same guy
right now, except just running against high school kids.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Is it just pushing him to the ground as he's running,
falling off and they're grabbing him. He's just just.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Running over him, running around him over in the whole deal,
and in the amount of carries, I mean to get
fourteen hundred carries in high school. The coach wasn't concerned
about wearing the tread off of Derrick Henry. Correct, we're
gonna ride him, yeah, sixty times. A game with the

(27:28):
playbook was like three like three plays long. Yeah, but
uh but no, this guy And what's interesting is this
guy now he's not like as big of a you know,
and he's he's a zero star right now. He's five
ten and one ninety but and he plays quarterback. But
in like a like a wing t kind of thing

(27:49):
with a double wing kind of offense and they just
they just run the ball. I think he's thrown like
a couple of times this year, right, So but uh, nevertheless,
I think that's pretty cool and and and so I
looked it up Knox, Indiana as it's actually just a
little south of South Bend. Okay, you know, so it's
you know whatever, caute four hours away, right, so yeah,

(28:10):
so pretty cool more.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Or less of like halfway between South Bend and Indy
say kind.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Of, No, it's definitely. It's definitely way north of Indy.
It's it's closer to South Bend. Closer I'm talking, you know, yeah,
I don't know, forty miles kind of Oh, okay, I'm
fifty miles A.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yeah, I thought you did a couple of hours.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
And it was it was cool because Derek Henry was
asked about that.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
I don't even know. I don't think it was this week.
It might have been a couple of weeks ago, but
he was asked about it. Hey, did you hear this?

Speaker 3 (28:41):
Kids?

Speaker 2 (28:41):
You know, kind of on your heels of breaking this
record and his credit he said, go break it, son,
you know, records.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
Are made to be broken. I hope he gets that.
Hope his team wins the state title.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
So I thought that was cool because you know, sometimes
you could be like I wanted to write my high
school record.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Well then like the old uh, at this stage of
the game, it's almost kind of funny, the old seventy
two Dolphins getting together anytime a team goes undefeated, and yeah,
twelve and oher and they all get together and head
drunk and right as soon as they get beat, they
smoke cigars and drink champagne. Well yeah, but there's how

(29:16):
many of them can there be left?

Speaker 5 (29:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Surely, probably sixteen of them left?

Speaker 6 (29:22):
Oh man?

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Anyway, Well again, God blessed are they? I assume they're
in the playoffs now?

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Yeah, they are moving to see what it says here.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yeah, they're He's quarterback for Knox Class three A state
semifinal Friday against U Fort Wayne Bishop Leures. So you know, okay,
he's three hundred and sixty five yards now. He's run
for four hundred plus in five games this year, so
this is like definitely possible.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
I guess who's going to get fed the ball? Yeah
you think, well, I think that was going to happen
either way. Give it to that kid and get out
of the way.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Well, come up, we do have PJ after the News,
but at four thirty five rock big time guest.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yes, we've got Steve Speck from Saint Xavier High School,
the head coach over there. He's going to take a
break here and give us a little of his time
to talk about the big game tomorrow Friday, about getting
that move to pay Corps and just how cool that
is for these high school kids, and a little bit
on the matchup should be great.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
And I believe that during the news they were reporting this,
so far they've sold what was that, like seventeen thousand
something like that.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah, ye're about seventeen so yeah, yeah, and that was
you know, almost like twenty four hours after it came open.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
So a few hours ago too, so it was by now.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
And recall I think it was maxed out about sixty
five hundred for Mason, so it's already gone correct. And
and oh double they'll I think they'll touch twenty five.

Speaker 1 (30:49):

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Yes, our good friend PJ Street and PJ.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
It's that time of the year, Holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New
Year's and for whatever reason, that's usually an excuse for
everyone to just throw the feedbag on now and take
it off.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Like January fifth.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Eat drink, drink, eat, eat, eat, drink, drink drink.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Yeah, repeat, yes, So how can we get out of
this cycle here?

Speaker 7 (37:53):
PJ.

Speaker 25 (37:55):
Yeah, I'm gonna today, I'm gonna teach everybody you know,
how to navigate the holiday eating without gaining ten pounds
of regret.

Speaker 13 (38:01):
Come January second, and let's start here.

Speaker 25 (38:05):
If we look at it logically, there's thirty seven days
between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. And you know, despite
what people tell themselves, it's not stuffing your face on
Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve or Christmas Day that causes you know,
this weight gain and ruins all your progress. It's the
other thirty plus days in that period right where you say,

(38:26):
I'll screw it, I'll restart in January so you know,
if we look at it logically, over those thirty seven
days of the holiday season, there's really only seven that
actually matter that that I feel that you can justify,
you know, being really indulgent with food and drink. You know,
you got Thanksgiving obviously, Christmas Eve, you got Christmas Day,
you got New Year's Eve, and then you know, look

(38:48):
you might have three or four like other you know,
work parties or events.

Speaker 13 (38:52):
So you know, that's seven to eight indulgent days total.

Speaker 25 (38:56):
That's really only about twenty percent of the whole holiday season.
If you stay on track the rest of the time,
then you're golden. But if you eat like it's Thanksgiving
for five straight weeks, you're going to be in a
bad spot.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
Gotcha.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
So is there any I mean other than just having
this sheer willpower to do it and any tricks we
can use or things we can do to kind of.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
Make sure we don't you know, because there's a lot
of pressure too.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
It's like every get together, right as everyone has the
food and has the drink and has this and that.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
Any ways to kind of meander around that.

Speaker 25 (39:29):
Yeah, so let's just start here and again, remember it's
a holiday, it's not a hol a month, right, So
one or two meals don't make or break your results. Here,
what does to your point, Rock, It's the daily grazing,
it's the stress eating, it's kind of abandoning the gym
and rationalizing.

Speaker 13 (39:49):
Every choice with well, you know, it's the holidays. So
to win this battle.

Speaker 25 (39:54):
You got to pick your battles right, enjoy what you
love at those five to seven key of during the
holiday season, and then you need to be mindful of
your nutrition the rest of the time. You need to
stay in the gym. You need to keep your steps up.
And I just see that most people just waste calories
on junk. They don't even like this time of year.

(40:14):
So you really got to identify what you really really love, right.
It might be the pumpkin pie, it might be you know,
Grandma stuffing, it might be the prime rib on Christmas.
But I just see people grazing and grabbing it. It
just crap, it's not even that good. So that's the
first point, you know, And then the first tip I'll
give you is you got to pick your battles. And
then number two, you really need to keep your routine

(40:36):
between these events. You got to stick to the basics
the walking. You got to stay in the gym, you
got to keep the protein up, you got to keep
the water up. And you can't get into the mindset
that you're going to spiral out of control just because
you overrate at one Christmas party or something like that.
Number three again, you got to keep your workouts is

(40:57):
non negotiable on your calendar. If you're travel in your swamp,
which of a lot of us are during this time
of year, that's cool. Just realize that a twenty minute
left or a one mile walk still counts. Something is
always better than nothing. And again, you can't fall into this.
I'll just start fresh in January trap. You know January

(41:17):
first promises don't fix you know December fifteenth damage, right,
So if you show up now in coasting the January,
you know you can coast into January without panic or
having to do some stupid crash diet, which I'm sure
we'll discuss come January. And then finally, let me give
you some stats on holiday weight game. You know, you
hear these stats like people gain ten pounds during the holidays.

Speaker 13 (41:39):
Well that's that's not really true. The average American gains about.

Speaker 25 (41:43):
One to two pounds between Thanksgiving to New Year's But
and that doesn't sound like much.

Speaker 13 (41:47):
But yeah, you think it's a lot more.

Speaker 25 (41:49):
But here's the catch, guys, most people never lose it,
and that holiday weight just accumulates year after year after year.
There was a really cool study in twenty twenty two
in the journal Medicine. It's found the holiday weight gain
is the number one contributor to the annual weight creep
in US adults. So, you know, one to two pounds compounded,

(42:11):
you know, by thirty years, that's how you end up,
you know, with a size forty two waist and fifty
pounds heavier.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
Yeah, and we but everything you're saying makes sense, PJ.
But we all know, just like you said, you eat
crap that you don't ordinarily eat, but simply because it's around.
It's yeah, look, there's a point at my house there
aren't cookies laying around on the counter all the time.
But guess what deb feels like she needs to make
five dozen cookies to send to friends and whatnot. And

(42:41):
so guess what I'm walking by the kitchen counter. Oh,
look a sugar cookie? Have it at one of those
in a minute.

Speaker 3 (42:47):
Right, Well, I'm the same way, and I assume a
lot of people are. It's like, if it's not in
my house, I'm never telling my wife, look, go to
Kroger's and get four pies and ten bags of cookies.
All that. I'm not saying that. But yeah, if it's
all of a sudden there, guess what, it's a little
bit harder to say, just say no to it.

Speaker 13 (43:07):
Well, Rocky, it's a great point.

Speaker 25 (43:09):
One of my favorite quotes is, you know your environment
is stronger than your willpower. Right, So if you're to
your point, if you're buying all the crap just because
it's the holidays and near being festive, and you know
your you know your willpower is only going to go
so far up the stuff laying around the house that
that's a that's a terrific point.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
No doubt about it.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Anything else in terms of I guess, workout wise, any
any and anything, folks you have to focus on during
the holidays.

Speaker 25 (43:37):
Here my one. That's a great, great, great question. Uh,
rock here's my one thing. You need to walk after
big meals, right, and before a big meal, you want
to make sure that you're you know, you're hydrated, and
you drank a lot of water, so after every big meal,
if I can give it, if I can give people
one tip, you know, workout, physical activity. Watch the holidays,

(44:00):
if you stuck your face instead of laying on the
couch and watching football, which let's.

Speaker 13 (44:04):
Be honest most of us are going to do.

Speaker 25 (44:07):
Go outside, you know, even if it's a five minute
walk around the block, you know that that can go
a long way and just kind of help you kind
of reset things a little bit.

Speaker 6 (44:14):
Got you.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
So BJ on a completely different note, and we did
this topic on a few weeks ago, maybe two months back,
about fasting and all that, and I think I remember
telling you I was gonna even though you've said, look,
there's not like a ton of different benefits of it,
but I was gonna at least try it. So I'm
going to do that at some point in the next
couple of weeks. So give me a challenge, give me

(44:36):
a fast challenge. How should I do it? How many
days should I go? And I'll report back with the results.

Speaker 25 (44:45):
All right, Rock, you're a tough You're a tough dude.
So let's go with an alternate day fasting approach for
a week. Yeah, right, we'll see, right, alternate day fasting. Okay,
so you can eat on you know, you can eat
on Monday, gon't eat on Tuesday, and eat normal on Wednesday,
back and forth, just for seven days, because I'm curious
to see how you feel and what you observe doing that.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
I'm gonna be very cranky Pjack and tell you that.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
So, but you're not eating anything? Are you drinking juice
or what exactly?

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Area? What can I drink? Can I drink coffee at least?

Speaker 5 (45:14):
Or not?

Speaker 13 (45:15):
Coffee?

Speaker 7 (45:16):
Water?

Speaker 13 (45:17):
Zero calorie soft drinks, gatorade zero?

Speaker 25 (45:21):
All that stuff's fair game, or you know, Or you
can do the typical uh what is it? The sixteen
eight fast where you just eat in an eight hour window.
But you're up to the challenge. Rock, We're gonna go
alternate day, alternately fasting for you.

Speaker 3 (45:35):
All right, so Monday, all right, just for weeks Monday.

Speaker 13 (45:39):
Yeah, Yeah, you're on the hot seat now. Millions of
people are going to hold you to this.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
That's right, that's right. I gotta find the days, but
I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
Yeah, but I find that the eight sixteenth thing, that's
pretty much the way I eat Anyways, it tends to
be that we.

Speaker 13 (45:53):
Talked about that, Eddie, I'm the same way. I guess
I do that. I mean I have a big dinner o'clock.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Yeah, yeah, I have a little some pretty light breakfast
and then fairly big lunch and then maybe a snack,
you know, after I get home from working. That's besides
of it.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
All right, So to be clear, so to be clearing
this real quick. So I can eat Monday, I can
eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, whatever, But I go to bed,
I eat absolutely nothing until Wednesday morning again.

Speaker 13 (46:20):
Right, correct, Okay, that's correct.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
All right, just getting make you and I'm just getting
the parameters out there like a challenge. All right, we're
gonna do this.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
I feel most bad for my wife because, hey, cranky bitch,
I'm just telling.

Speaker 25 (46:35):
You you might want to you might want to wait
till the first week of January to do this. Yeah,
maybe during the holidays a little we're gonna ruin the
You're gonna ruin the holidays at the Boyman compound.

Speaker 1 (46:45):

Speaker 2 (47:48):
According to the police, I like to do my best chainsawing.
I feel comes when I'm nude.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
That's the thing who decides. Let's see, should I go
out and garden naked?

Speaker 23 (48:00):
Ah?

Speaker 1 (48:00):
Well the grass naked?

Speaker 3 (48:02):
Nah?

Speaker 1 (48:02):
How bottom I get out the chainsaw? And that mean
that's exactly what Paul Severson did. This happened a couple
of tuesdays ago, he was charged with a disorderly conduct
and in connection with the louge nude displays outside his residents.
Now this again, keep in mind this happened a couple

(48:23):
of weeks ago in Florida. You might think, no, in Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Ghee's the only thing is with being that cold, it
kind of helps from the you know, constricting, I.

Speaker 1 (48:39):
Got no idea. After interviewing multiple witnesses, as sheriff's deputy
observed the nude Severson when he appeared from behind his
shed in his backyard, the cob advised him that he
couldn't be naked outside with children around and people driving by.
Neighbors reported this Severson often did yard work wild news

(49:00):
with the one I witness sing the suspect was chain
sawing all the time. Well, butt ass naked. Now if
I see you naked in your yard one time, I'm like, oh, yeah,
he's done. He's been out there. You know, tendon is
trimming the hedges while he's naked. No, I'm not waiting

(49:21):
for it to happen again. No, I'm telling somebody.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
Has their thing. I guess this is uh the skuy's apparently.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
But what how can that be a thing because you
you can't possibly think that people are just gonna go, oh, well,
that's just old Paul.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
He's he's chainsawing. He's no big deal.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
He changs on again.

Speaker 3 (49:42):
I mean, I mean with chainsaw and if anybody's I
think chainsaw is one of the funnest things in the
world to do.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
But I mean there's a lot of you know, you know,
salt dust and stuff getting thrown ashing wood chips, right, Well,
I hope.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
He would at least be I'm sure he was wearing goggles.

Speaker 3 (49:59):
Yes, get a splinter somewhere. We don't want a splinter at.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
But naked chainsawing, I'll tell you, man, that's uh, that's down.
That's down on my priority list.

Speaker 3 (50:09):
That's that's it.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
Real quick, you're ed and Austin just text me this
because we've been asking about his Burrow gonna play? Is
he not?

Speaker 3 (50:17):
Well not, you know, didn't tell the whole story.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
But Joe Burrow listed as a full practice participant today,
Joe Flacco listed as a limited participant in practice. So
I guess, second straight day, Joe Burrow a full participant
in practice. So that's it's it's in closer to he's
gonna play.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
Here we go, and now will you would be all
day tomorrow screaming you gotta got hurt? What if he
gets hurt? Oh yeah, you know how it works.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
And he was one calling for him the other day
to play. Now that he's gonna play, he's gonna say
he's gonna get hurt.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
How the hell could not happen with that? We chick
in with the traffic and weathers.

This report is sponsored by One Hour Heating and Airic
Kenny sing As Tim speaking.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
All right back with Eddie and Rocky and Rock a
very very special.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
Guest, very special guests in a very big game. It's
Elder v. The Bombers of Saint x Friday night, seven pm,
pay Course Stadium.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
It's going to be bigger than Montana.

Speaker 2 (52:54):
And to help kick this thing off and preview the game,
how about this the one the only Steve Speck, head
coach of Saint Xavier High School.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
Steve, how are you?

Speaker 5 (53:03):
Rock? I'm doing great. Anytime I get to talk to you, guys,
it means good things are happening at six hundred West
North End Roads.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
Very good? Uh so, Coach, I guess first question is
your reaction to the game getting moved to pay Corps.

Speaker 13 (53:17):
What are the team?

Speaker 3 (53:19):
How do they feel about it? You feel about it?

Speaker 2 (53:21):
What's been kind of the organizational things you've had to
change to make that happen?

Speaker 5 (53:27):
Well, I've done very little organizationally. I just try to
get these kids ready to play. But I'll tell you what, Rock,
You know, you know me, We've known each other a
long time. I'd play this game and in the parking
lot of at Denny's Restaurant. You know that's how sky
high I am about this. But the reality that we
get to go to pay corps and play in a

(53:49):
professional stadium. For these kids, what what memories?

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Well, yeah, that's what I was going to ask you,
a coach. How do you get them to it, to
keep their keep their head on their shoulders. I mean,
and they're walking in there, and you know, it's one
thing to talk about, it's another thing to walk in
there and look up and like a holy cow, there's
fifty thousand people here.

Speaker 5 (54:08):
Well, you know what you want them to You want
them to walk out there and say, holy cow, there's
fifty thousand people. I'm to walk out there and say
holy cow.

Speaker 3 (54:17):
Okay, absolutely, but you're.

Speaker 5 (54:19):
Dealing with you know, you're dealing with kids. And we try.
We worked really hard to pass a few weeks to
focus on being completely present wherever you are, wherever you go.
Just focus on being your individual best at that moment,
and it's going to be the same thing Friday night
when they walk out and take core and look around.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
Coach, just in general, what is the hardest thing about
coaching high school kids these days?

Speaker 3 (54:44):
Is it different than it was ten twenty years ago?
Similar tell us.

Speaker 5 (54:51):
The kids aren't any different. Rock, It's no difference between
you know all take you Kobe Clapp or or our
linebacker's on his way to Notre Day, and there's no
difference in Kobe or you. Back in nineteen ninety seven.
You know, he's a young kid that's excited about life
and his future, and he's gonna do stupid things and
make stupid mistakes. But that's what you're supposed to do

(55:13):
when you're a kid, or an adult for that matter.
I continue to do stupid things. What has changed is society.
You know, the advent of the Internet and social media.
Everybody has instant access to everything. People can hide behind
screen names and attack kids. They're just growing up with
an awful lot on their plate. And when you talk

(55:34):
about trying to be completely present, it was a lot
easier back in nineteen ninety seven when you were a
senior than it is in twenty twenty six, twenty twenty
five for these kids, I can tell you that much.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
And Coach, let me ask you about you brought that
up about social media. Does that involve a certain amount
of and I guess, for lack of a better word,
parenting to get these kids to hey, look, shut off
that noise. You don't need it. I know it's tough,
but I'm sure it's got to be almost impossible.

Speaker 6 (56:06):
With these guys, well, it is impossible.

Speaker 5 (56:10):
I was really impressed with my five captains. I talked
about you, Kobe Clapper, Aiden Reader, Grant Hester. Let's see,
I talked about Aidan Brayden Riley and Daniel Bolmer, and
we had a meeting a few weeks ago about how
we wanted to approach the playoffs, and they took it
upon themselves and said they said, no more cell phones

(56:32):
in the locker room. So they completely outlawed that. I
didn't push it. They did it to try to help
themselves get off that crap. You know. It's like any
I tell the kids, look, you're gonna I'm not gonna
you know, baby, this is life and you guys, this
is the world in which you live. But I'm going
to tell you this much. If you're going to read
the good stuff about you, you better be prepared to

(56:54):
read the band stuff they're going to say, because they're
gonna throw it all at us, good and bad. Just
I just I don't get involved in that. I don't
have much of an online presence. I just try to
stay away from it all.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
Absolutely coach Steve Speck is our guest head coach Saint
Xavier High School and coach for those listeners out there
that maybe don't know a lot about this year's Saint
Xavier team. You know, look, you guys start off four straight,
then you lose two straight to to Molar and the Elder,
and then you rattle off five straight, including a huge
win over Moler last week. Just to describe this team

(57:29):
and give folks an idea of what this team makeup
is all about.

Speaker 5 (57:34):
Defense Defensively, we came into the Iraqi with some really
talented kids and we moved some really good offensive players
to the defensive side of the ball, knowing that it
was going to take time for our offense to develop
and grow up. We have a starting quarterback, Jackson Fry,
as a senior his first year in the system, and
he's really grown over the year. And you know, it's

(57:57):
one of those deals where you had young kids and experience,
had a lot of spots and you were really keeping
your fingers crossed that they would be they would grow
up by week five. Unfortunately for us, it took us
until about week eight to really start clicking offensively. But
the defense has played really solid, and the offense is
playing at a very high level now when they peaked

(58:19):
when we needed to going into the playoffs, and I'm
excited about this run. We played great, and I mean
a great Elder High School football team tomorrow night, and
it's going to be a great battle. But nothing's going
to come easy, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
I was going to ask you, a coach, scout out
that Elder team for us, what do you know? What
do you see?

Speaker 5 (58:38):
I think their quarterback is as good a young quarterback
as I've coached.

Speaker 13 (58:42):
Against in a while.

Speaker 5 (58:44):
I thought Man the quarterback for Mueller was off offul special.
But don't lose sight of Cayden that step at Elder
High School. I think he's only a junior. He can
create with his feet, has great speed, he throws a
great ball, a very catchable ball, and what a competitor.
I love watching film with that kid. I hate preparing

(59:05):
for him, but I really enjoy watching him play because
he plays with a youthful exuberance you want to see
from kids. You tell, you can tell he loves this game.

Speaker 3 (59:15):
Yeah, there's no doubt.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
I actually Steve watched Kadan staid the quarterbacks highlights of
the Princeton game and pretty good. I think he's you know,
three hundred yards you know, I mean it was. He
had a one heck of a night. A really really
good athlete that can take off and run, can throw
the ball.

Speaker 3 (59:33):
Well, he's going to.

Speaker 5 (59:34):
Be a problem, no, no problem. And you know, flip
that to the other side of the ball and you
have the same type of player. And Derek Iran, what
a talented young man. I'm sad to see him not
going to UC and flipping his commitment to Virginia, But
you know what, a great talented young man, plays with

(59:55):
a lot of passion. And ironically, his little brother is
a every deserves season sophomore safety for US. He's a backup,
but he plays on all our special teams. I'd like
to see those two getting after it, maybe a little
bit on some specials during the game.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
I saw that the Uran brothers going at it, and
I'm sure the uh, that's gotta be an interesting dinner
table that.

Speaker 5 (01:00:21):
I thought the same thing, Rock, How crazy is that?
And I think your older brother graduated from LISAL.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
I think that. I think that's actually accurate. Yeah, how
about that full full circle?

Speaker 23 (01:00:32):
What what?

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
What else?

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
About the older team coach, What else are some of
the things you guys got to take care of?

Speaker 5 (01:00:38):
Well, it's always, Uh, every Doug Ramsey coach team is
incredibly well coached. Offensively, there they do some things that
are very unorthodox. They'll give you a lot of formations,
a lot of unbalanced set, a lot of movements and shifts,
and they create mismatches. Uh. They've got a tremendous wide
receiver in Jackson Ruth. He's a reminds me a lot

(01:01:00):
of our our slot Alex McClatchy. He's maybe five and
seventy pounds, but great quickness, really good speed, excellent route runner,
and he really makes things happen running back, solid plays
beyond a really big offensive line. I think they have
one of the better left tackles that I've seen at

(01:01:23):
the high school level. So offensively they pose a lot
of problems with personnel and with schematics, and defensively rock
they're a classic ben but don't break team. They don't
give up very many explosive plays. I look watch film
and it's very seldom you see receivers getting behind the secondary.

(01:01:45):
So offensively, you've got to be patient. You've got to
chip away, take what they give you, and be able
to do it for a sustained period of time in
order to come away with points.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
Steve guests and Steve, you've won four state titles. Compare
this year's team and the makeup of the strengths the
weaknesses is maybe some of those great state title teams
you've had.

Speaker 5 (01:02:11):
Wow, I I that's a tough one.

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
Rock Uh favorite kid.

Speaker 5 (01:02:19):
Yeah, it's really hard because it's easy, you know, hindsight's
twenty twenty, and it's easy to look back on the
great teams that I've been blessed to be a part
of and say, this is what made those teams great.
These guys are still developing, you know. It's Uh, I
don't know that it's fair to compare them to anybody.
After the smoke clears and the season ends, I think

(01:02:42):
I'll look back with a lot of pride I have.
I'm awful proud of these kids. I'm awful proud of
how hard they've worked, where they started, where they are now.
And you know, that's one of the things I'd love
to say, is you know, in nineteen ninety seven, I
could have said I'm so proud of Rocky Boyman and
his crew. Let's see where they are in thirty years

(01:03:03):
from now. And I'm awful proud of where you are now, Rock,
you know, I'd like to think that forty years from
now we can look at all the kids and say,
that's that's why we're successful. Look at what these guys
are doing with their lives.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
So Coach, you got to also hats off to the
Bengals and how and the county and everybody that's pushed
for the saying, including my partner. Yeah, we're pushing.

Speaker 3 (01:03:25):
This through a little bit.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
Yeah, the Bengals doing a solid is it's cheaper parking
and whatnot, and at ticket prices are low. I mean,
no excuse not to go to this thing, right, No.

Speaker 5 (01:03:37):
Absolutely what a great venue came the whole Brown family.
Mike Brown's been fantastic for the city. You know, He's
been great to Saint Aegor High School me in particular.
The whole family's been great. Troy Blackburn, who's a ste
X graduate in nineteen eighty five, has been great, you know,
Zach Taylor's been off just everybody with the Bengals and

(01:03:59):
the fact that they're going to open this up to
high schools again because they've done it in the past.
Is just phenomenal. I'm so excited for the city of
Cincinnati and everybody, the community of Elder, community of Saint
ax just a high school football community to be able
to come out and witness the game at pay Corps. Really,

(01:04:20):
I'm so appreciative of the Bengals in the county and
everybody that got involved in rock you pushing this obviously
was huge.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
Well look I saw today that so tickets went on
sale yesterday at ten am. As of like twenty four
hours so ten am today, I think are close to
seventeen thousand had been sold, and you know there's gonna
be many, many more.

Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
It's gonna be a huge game.

Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
And coach, I'm certainly very very proud of you, you
know that, and for all the things you do for
all those boys at Saint X and youth football and
high school football in general.

Speaker 3 (01:04:51):
But go have a great game.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
It's going to be a titanic battle out there that
a lot of people are going to enjoy.

Speaker 3 (01:04:57):
But best of luck here on Friday, guys.

Speaker 5 (01:05:01):
I appreciate it. Thanks for having me on and thanks
for taking time for all the great kids that play
high school football in the city of Cincinnati.

Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
Coach you the best, thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:05:11):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
Uh, what a great guy, and what a great job.
Obviously he does a great job. Man, He's one of
the best.

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
The best.

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
So he was the defensive back coach. He came into
Saint X my senior year. He was my secondary coach, right,
so that's where I first got to know him, Like,
this guy's unbelievable, right, and then I go to a
Notre Dame. A couple of years later he becomes a
defensive coordinator. A couple of years later he becomes a
head coach.

Speaker 3 (01:05:36):
And you know, so I tell people all the time,
you know, if you know me, you know my dad
is far and away the number one male influence in
my life, just in terms of you know what he
means me. And I'd say the second person on that
list is Steve Speck for just for all the great
things he's done for me and for just young men
in general. And uh, great guy. And again and Doug

(01:05:59):
Ram he's a fantastic coach at Elder and that should
be a great game and be real funman to watch.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
So what was what was Steve's background before he came
to Saint X. Just curious because I so he local guy.

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
He played, he played at Saint X and then he
Oh god, where'd he go to college? I'll think of
it here in a second. But then he came back coached,
and I think he was he coached a little bit
for that year or two that Urban Meyer was was here,

(01:06:31):
and then he went off in the business world and
you know, made money and all that, and just like
many coaches, says, this is great, I'm making a lot
of money, But I meant to coach football, right, And
so he let all that go, came back in and
he's been doing it again ever since. You know, he
came back in my senior year nineteen ninety seven. He's
been there and in one way, shape or for him
ever since.

Speaker 1 (01:08:44):
Say it has got money on the bangles. Let's talk
to our good friend Jason Hoffin right now. Jason, we
do last week. I always like to ask you that,
first off.

Speaker 6 (01:08:53):
We did good.

Speaker 23 (01:08:54):
We went four and two with two pushes, so four
two and two. And yeah, as you mentioned that Christmas
fund is getting stocked up. And let's continue with this week.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
All right, Well, let's just start with a game tonight,
A pretty good game Bills at Texans. But Bill's favored
by six. Seemed to be that big, it'd be a
lower line. But your thoughts.

Speaker 23 (01:09:21):
The Bills are the one team in this league that
it's almost like the Joe Burrow Bengals at the end
of last season. If Josh Allen is not Superman, they
don't win. They've only won games this year where he
scored three or more touchdowns. He accounts for seventy plus
percent of their touchdowns, and the Texans are led by

(01:09:42):
Dinko Ryans. Honestly, I don't like the six points here.
If I had to take a spread, I'd still take
the Bills because I think Josh Allen's going to be
Superman tonight. I am more intrigued by the over than
I am anything else.

Speaker 3 (01:09:56):
That over is what was forty five, I believe.

Speaker 23 (01:10:01):
Yet it opened at forty three and a half and
it's gone up to forty five. But I'll take it
as long as it stays under forty six and a half.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
All right, Now, another good game the Pittsburgh Steelers, who
got the win over the Bengals last week against the
seven and three Bears, who have won three straight. Yeah,
that's uh. And they're favored by two and a half.
The Bears are.

Speaker 5 (01:10:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:10:25):
I like Aaron Rodgers, who can be the unofficial mayor
of the city of Chicago. I think he's going to
play this week. And let's be honest, the Bears have
to come back to reality at some point. You can't
keep getting away with Cale Williams just doing crazy things
in the fourth quarter and somehow winning. So give me

(01:10:46):
the Steelers solid defensive performance, run the ball, control the clock,
and they win out right and cover the two and
a half.

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
All right, Another game up north? How about Vikes at
pack and Packer by last I saw six and a half.

Speaker 23 (01:11:05):
Yeah, I'm all over the Packers in this one for
one main reason. Reports came out earlier today that the
Vikings have inquired already about what it would take to
get another quarterback or shoot, what's his name from the
Falcons Kirk Cousins back in Minneapolis. Yeah, possibly with off season,

(01:11:28):
which shows that they have zero trust in JJ McCarthy.
And yeah, I think it's heading toward a dumpster fire
there to end the season. So I'm all over the Packers.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
Well, yeah, Vike's were a team early in the year,
everyone had huge expectations, and look, once again it comes
down to house a quarterback playing and JJ McCarthy, you know,
just hasn't played well enough. Like you said, they don't
seem to have much confidence in him moving forward. Another one,
how about the Rocky Boyman Bowl, Colts at seats all

(01:12:03):
got We've got the Chiefs minus three and a half
and uh an over under of I'm seeing forty nine
and a half.

Speaker 5 (01:12:11):
So number one.

Speaker 23 (01:12:12):
I like the under here and the reason why is
the gent that leads the defense in Innieapolis is the
Patrick Mahomes defensive whisperer. That would be Louis Ana Rumo,
fired from the Bengals last year. They have that Chiefs
defense humming, so I like his team coming off the
buy to scheme up something against the Chiefs here. I

(01:12:35):
also like the Colts. As much as I hate to
say it, I like the Colts to win this game
and put the Chiefs on life support for the rest
of the year.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
Wow, that'd be interesting. Yeah, we have lost two straight,
so Colts could could really.

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
I just written an article that there down remember Field
was in SI or USA today or something talking about
the Chiefs. They haven't been in this matter shape in
a long time. This is late in the season.

Speaker 3 (01:12:59):
I always feel like they'll get it together.

Speaker 2 (01:13:02):
But but you lose three straight though, that's that ain't go,
specially with how good the Broncos are playing. Let's see,
uh we got oh yeah, we got the one one
I I saw here Browns Raiders the Battle of two
and eight teams here right that I Eddie's Brown's I'm
seeing what I over under of four minus four with

(01:13:25):
the Raiders.

Speaker 23 (01:13:28):
Yeah, welcome or congratulations NFL fans, this is your stinker
Bowl of the week. Unless you're a dedicated fan of
either team. If you watch this game, you're an absolute sicko.
So I'm gonna taken.

Speaker 5 (01:13:45):
Well, I'll be watching.

Speaker 23 (01:13:47):
Yeah, but I'm gonna I'm gonna take the Browns just
because they have the better complete roster, I think. But
the main play in this game, I don't care what
the number is is the under because I don't think
either offense is going to put up more than a
touchdown or two.

Speaker 1 (01:14:02):
Yeah, this has a real twelve to ten possibility, right twelve? Yeah,
and Sudor Sanders is this going to start? Does that correct?
That's the last I heard.

Speaker 23 (01:14:14):
Yeah, they put that out this morning. He's going to start.

Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
Well, good luck to him. He's two hundred thousand dollars
poorer after he got his house Rodways playing last week.
Oh yeah, how about the next one? Eagles at Cowboys
Eagles by three with an over last I saw forty
seven and a half.

Speaker 23 (01:14:37):
Yeah, the Cowboys have snuck up on some people. They're
making a playoff run right now. Jerry Jones does not
look as dumb as everyone made him out to be
when he made that Micah Parsons trade earlier in the year.

Speaker 6 (01:14:47):
A great call, Yeah, Cowboys.

Speaker 23 (01:14:49):
The Cowboys are playing some stout defense up front. They
slow down their best at slowing down what Philadelphia does
the best, which is run the ball. I like this
to be a close game. I'm gonna take the Cowboys
plus the points here.

Speaker 2 (01:15:02):
Oh okay, now here's an interesting one just from a
line standpoint. The Tampa Bay Bucks at the La Rams,
and I'm seeing Rams minus seven, and of course they're
eight and two and maybe one of the best teams
in the NFL. The Bucks, though, they've lost two straight,
but I mean one was to the Pats and the
other was to the Bills. They've lost to some some

(01:15:24):
good teams here, and I thought Tino was really playing
well for most of the year. What do you see
in this one with the Rams minus seven?

Speaker 23 (01:15:33):
I don't like that line at all. I'm gonna take
the Bucks plus the points just because the Rams only
go as Matthew Stafford goes. And I think the Bucks
defense is going to dial up something this week too.
I won't say stop, but maybe limit the Rams offense,
and I like the I like the Bucks to keep

(01:15:54):
this with them a touchdown. So I'm gonna take the
Bucks plus the points.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
All right, and one more before we get to the
Bengals the Monday night game, just because we always have
to do the Monday night game. Panthers at forty nine
ers seeing the Niners by seven here.

Speaker 23 (01:16:11):
Yeah, the Panthers are one of the surprise teams this year.
If you remember, before Michael Pennox went down, they beat
I believe it was either thirty to three or thirty
to ten. They beat the Falcons. The Panthers they're turunning upward,
and I like them to go in there and again
another game where they may not win, but they'll keep
it close within the touchdowns. So I like the Panthers

(01:16:31):
plus the points here too.

Speaker 3 (01:16:33):
In one college game here, we gotta get the Bengals, right. Sorry, yeah, sorry,
I skipped ahead there, go ahead Jays.

Speaker 1 (01:16:40):
With the Pats of Bengals and at the Pats by
seven and a half.

Speaker 3 (01:16:43):
Last I saw.

Speaker 23 (01:16:46):
If you can tell me that Joe Burrow is going
to play safety and quarterback and slow down Drake May
on Sunday, then maybe I'll take the Bengals, but right now,
until this defense shows that could stop Elders Doug Ramsey's offensive, Elder,
I can't take him in any game, no matter what

(01:17:07):
the points are. So I'd have to got Patriots. As
negative as that sounds, you tell me if you've seen
anything that leads you to believe they're going to slow
down one of the best offenses in football.

Speaker 1 (01:17:18):
And what do you think about that over of fifty
as the last I saw. That's a big number man.

Speaker 23 (01:17:25):
That I don't like that solely because Jamar Chase isn't playing.
If Jamar was going to be able to play and
not suspended, I would take the overall day. But I
don't know how they manufacture offense with t Higgins and
then andre Yosavashan after that, roll the dice on who
you might have plan wide receiver.

Speaker 2 (01:17:45):
All right, a few college games of interest? How about
this when USC at Oregon. USC's eight and two, of
course they got beat by the Iris. Would they play
at Oregon? I mean, if USC could go up there,
and I don't think they're going to do it, but
if they could do that and beat Oregon, hey, that
hurts Oregon's chances and be you know, keeps USC alive

(01:18:08):
in this thing. But I'm seeing Oregon minus nine and
a half.

Speaker 23 (01:18:15):
Yeah, Oregon almost every year is due for one home loss.
That is just bad for their season. They already had
that against Indiana when Indiana went there and just beat
the crap out of them. I don't dislike USC, but
I just don't see them covering in this game. I

(01:18:35):
think Oregon wins by ten or fourteen. And yes, Rock,
you're irish. Put it on them, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
And let me ask you, there has to be a
line on it. I don't know if you know it
or not. Well the Saint X Elder line. Is there
a line on that? I'm just scarious, you know, I
don't have that stuff works.

Speaker 23 (01:18:57):
Look, so you can't leave that on high school football.
But there is if you, if you follow people in
the X verse, twitter verse, whatever you want to call it,
there is a gentleman of Cleveland. His handle is Golfer
Underscore eighteen spelled backwards, so it's free flogged underscore eighteen.
He puts out weekly high school lines. Now he does

(01:19:21):
it on a he does it on a yellow legal pad,
and it's hilarious. We all have fun with it. But
the line on this game, with Elder meeting st X
by ten earlier and year at Saint X a couple
of key injuries to Elder, the line here should be
st X minus three and a half. But given the
weather weather predictions, I don't know I'd go under on this.

(01:19:45):
I think it's gonna be one of those crazy tough
nows GCL South battles that we all love. I'm gonna
go st X wins fifteen to nine.

Speaker 6 (01:19:57):
Wow, crazy bring.

Speaker 23 (01:20:00):
The three yards and a cloud of dust type.

Speaker 1 (01:20:02):
Battle, puddle of mud.

Speaker 3 (01:20:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah it was. It wasn't on turf for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
Uh, all right with that, Jase, We will let you go, buddy,
Thanks so much.

Speaker 23 (01:20:16):
Hey Jens. Let's go make some money and have some
fun this week.

Speaker 3 (01:20:18):
Grace, Thanks Jase.

Speaker 1 (01:20:20):
Jay stuck to you next week. And yeah, that is
if they were playing a uh dirt tomorrow, good lord man.

Speaker 3 (01:20:28):
Yeah, a little little wet, but there's me warm so
cold and rain come out, just regular rain and good
time with you. That's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
So you're not gonna be able to make it the
game though, but little well, it depends on the weather.

Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
Right, yeah, a little bit, you know, we've got five
year old and stuff. But yeah, I had good, good chance.
The Rocks will be there, lots of uh, you know,
extended Boyman family will be there.

Speaker 23 (01:20:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:20:53):
I gotta get the fam out for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's it's just so fun to see that the the
communities come behind it. And we talked to Coach Spect
earlier and it's like the fact that the Bengals have
really made this happen in the county. Everybody came together
and including you, got behind this thing and everybody pushed

(01:21:15):
and had it, had it happen. I think it's great.

Speaker 3 (01:21:17):
No, it is good. Yeah, a game like that deserves
a big venue and you know, for the kids to
play there, and even the fans come down, you know,
and there's probably people that can't can't make it to
a Bengals game, right, we can go down to pay
Corps and still watch a really really good football game,
enjoy that great facility.

Speaker 1 (01:21:35):
So cool, big weekend here in the big town with sports.

All right back with Eddie and Rocky a little while longer.
We got to get you out of here, Hoskin.

Speaker 3 (01:24:56):
Yeah sir, right, A big round the table show about it.

Speaker 5 (01:25:00):
We do.

Speaker 1 (01:25:00):
We always like to talk to our friends at ABC
in this case, it's Christian Cordero and Christian Surprising jobs
report today, yes or no.

Speaker 26 (01:25:09):
Yes, a lot of surprises today. Agreed to be with
you guys. So we started off with a lot of
really good news.

Speaker 5 (01:25:15):
You know.

Speaker 26 (01:25:16):
The latest report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed
one hundred and nineteen thousand jobs added in September, which
far exceeded expectations and was a higher trend than what
we had seen in previous months so far this year,
on average, it was about one hundred thousand. There's a
couple of caveats to that, but overall, really really strong news.

(01:25:37):
One of the caveats, of course, being the fact that
September feels now like a little while ago in the
sense that a lot has happened or not happened within
the jobs market. So but overall, you know, it seems
like the fact that it beat expectations was taken with
open arms, so to speak.

Speaker 3 (01:25:56):
I think it's a pleasant surprise, Christian, because even those
probably isn't realistic. But I just feel like, and Eddie
and I talk about in the show all the time,
everyone feels like AI is taking every job right. Every day.
It's more and more and more, and it's probably not
that harsh of a situation, but I know it is happening.
So the fact that, yeah, one hundred and twenty thousand

(01:26:18):
jobs added in a month, that's pretty decent.

Speaker 13 (01:26:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (01:26:23):
And on the AI point, you know, Nvidia released their
earnings today and they showed some blockbuster earnings indicating or
at least suggesting that there is still this really big
appetite for growth. You know, it kind of calms some
fears that maybe there's a bubble that is going to
soon burst. That very well could happen in the future,

(01:26:45):
but it doesn't seem like something that's necessarily concerning investors
right now. It is worth saying, though that the Dow,
you know, it started off really strong today and then
it gave up a seven hundred point game. So I
think kind of the overall name of the game right
now is uncertainty. And there's a lot of people who
are feelings whiplash a bit. But you know, you take
the good news when it comes.

Speaker 1 (01:27:04):
Christian Cordero is is our is our guest, And Christian,
what's the big the big new or whatever the new
economic news is going to be? What would be the
report would be waiting.

Speaker 26 (01:27:16):
For next Well, we have a FED rate cut that's expected,
or at least a rate meeting within the FED that's
expected in the next couple of weeks. And it's going
to be really tricky because by and large, you know,
people weren't expecting the FED to perhaps have one more
rate cut by the end of the year by a

(01:27:38):
quarter of a percentage point. And we know that that
affects the cost of borrowing money so overall, you know,
loans and debts as consumers look to buy high ticket items.
But because the jobs market performed better than expected in September,
it's a little counterintuitive here maybe, but that doesn't necessarily

(01:27:58):
help the case for the THAN to cut rates. So
they might, you know, FED chair to Repel might be
hesitant going into this next meeting to cut rates because
the jobs market is not indicating that that is necessary.

Speaker 4 (01:28:12):
Usually rate cuts.

Speaker 26 (01:28:13):
Come when the market or when the economy in certain
parts of it are performing less than lower than expected.
But you know, and it's a combination of a few factors,
jobs being one of them, inflation being another, so on
and so forth. So because of the September job support
that might affect a lack of rate cuts in the

(01:28:34):
next meeting.

Speaker 23 (01:28:35):
But we'll see is there.

Speaker 1 (01:28:37):
A particularly strong sector that's being reported here? Is it
just across the board, because we're always talking about rock
and IRA is talking about seems that more and more
trade jobs are becoming fashionable, as like Brock was saying,
AI takes.

Speaker 26 (01:28:52):
Over more and more sure And I mean you also
think about the costs of going to college, right, and
a lot of families realizing that that's not really worth
fit and they're probably right in many cases. It's hard
to boil it down to, you know, are these certain
kinds of jobs or the other, but we can kind
of categorize it into industry. So jobs that were added

(01:29:13):
by and large included the healthcare industry, food services and
drinking places that you think like overall, food and restaurants,
and social assistance. Job losses in September occurred in transportation
and warehousing, and in the federal government. And that last point,
it's important to note that the government shut down didn't
start until October first, right, So that's where there's a

(01:29:36):
little bit of hesitancy in reading too much into the
September jobs report, because we know in October it was
a really top jobs market, and we're still in November
right now as it's starting to rebound.

Speaker 1 (01:29:47):
All right. With that, Christian, we will let you go,
thanks so much, Thank you, all right, Rock and other
employment related news. Now, this is something I've always wanted
to do here because since I've worked for this company
which started backing, well if you counted all you know,

(01:30:07):
accumulated time I started working here with at EBN in
nineteen eighty five, I had that little break in here
a little bit. But I think I have about four
thousand sick days or something. I don't know. I think
I've taken and all that time, I think I've taken
like maybe three sick days really, and that's like not
being a.

Speaker 3 (01:30:26):
See you taken me.

Speaker 2 (01:30:27):
Whenever you are going to retire, you could just retire
like four months at hour, I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:30:31):
Just retired a year twenty eight. Yeah, right, this apparently
that's what this woman's doing. A court in Germany has
ruled that an unnamed teacher there who has been on
sick leave for sixteen years.

Speaker 3 (01:30:48):
Hey, if you can keep getting away with it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:53):
They she must now prove that she is indeed sick.
Since two thousand and nine, the female teacher has been
drawing her full salary in spite of not working at all.

Speaker 2 (01:31:06):
Hear that little time sometimes, you know, there's there's some
paperwork and it just kind of misses people and it
just keeps on going.

Speaker 1 (01:31:13):
When the education authority and whatever the I can't even
say it, Germany demanded that she take a medical test,
she sued them.

Speaker 3 (01:31:23):
How dare you question whether I haven't been sick for
sixteen years?

Speaker 1 (01:31:28):
But the court ruled her case truly incomprehensible and ruled
that the employer had the right to call for the test.
The president of the state's teachers' union called her behavior
quote completely abysmal. Now see whit you can't do anything

(01:31:48):
about that, you know what I'm saying. They can't as
a union say you're out.

Speaker 3 (01:31:55):
Well, unions get funny, man. You know, they protect their
own at all costs. And you know I understand that
to some degree. But here these stories all the time.
That's you know, like, folks, are you know, drawing social security?
That's what Trump has gone after with dojohon. If folks
you're receiving social Security, they've been dead for you know,
fifteen years kind of thing, or haven't been born, you know,

(01:32:19):
I mean, all kinds of things get get caught up,
and there's little glitches in the system, and if you
know how to kind of play it a little bit
and you can get away with it. You know, if
you act like everything's normal, you stay under the radar
a little bit and get away with it.

Speaker 1 (01:32:33):
Sixteen years though, man, that's big.

Speaker 3 (01:32:35):
That's that's a lot. I mean, I can understand, okay,
a couple of months go by, but.

Speaker 1 (01:32:41):
Hey, now this is a story I meant to do,
but he kind of got away from us. Over the
Labor Day, people in Colorado hiked up a fourteen thousand
foot plus mountain. When they got up there, you know,
you're like, we've achieved the side. When they got up there,
they found a guy sitting in a camping chair wearing

(01:33:01):
an ice cream cone costume and sunglasses with a fake mustache.

Speaker 5 (01:33:06):
He was an.

Speaker 1 (01:33:07):
Unnamed man who had hauled up ice cream sandwiches in
a pack with dry ice.

Speaker 3 (01:33:13):
Now there's something you don't expect you you would.

Speaker 1 (01:33:16):
See, you think. One hiker dubbed him legend dairy Oh
for yeah, for rewarding climbers with this sweet treat. Ice
cream was just kind of what we wanted, said one
of the climbers. Griffin said he later said this guy
that they're talking to, Blaine. Griffin said he saw the

(01:33:38):
man zooming down the mountain once the ice cream was gone,
but he'd had taken off his ice cream cone costume.

Speaker 3 (01:33:45):
What a weird thing. So those hiking people are weird,
though in a good way. But you know, a little
out there, I should say, not weird.

Speaker 1 (01:33:52):
But think of that. You know, you're you think you're
this is one of the proudest achievements of your life. Yeah,
and here's some dude that climbed up there with with
a backpack full of ice cream sandwiches wearing an ice
cream costs.

Speaker 2 (01:34:04):
Yeah, it's like you're making a mockery of your achievement.

Speaker 3 (01:34:08):
You've worked your whole life.

Speaker 1 (01:34:10):
Again, I was really proud of myself now that that
guy's up.

Speaker 3 (01:34:13):
Walked up here one day. Yeah, that's funny.

Speaker 1 (01:34:17):
That's why exactly what would happen to me?

Speaker 23 (01:34:20):
I would?

Speaker 1 (01:34:20):
Well, deb was telling the stories. She tells it before
she ran a u when we were in she did
it with team and training here in town, and she
ran a marathon in Bermuda and the thing in Bermuda
was that it's so small. It's twice around the island,

(01:34:40):
and she had run the New York Marathon not too
long before that, so she was in no shape to
do that. So she got so she got to the
halfway point. We're out there cheering her on and she's
she's crying and hobbling. I was like, dude, stop now,
stop now, yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:34:57):
And she.

Speaker 1 (01:34:59):
I was like, there's no shame here, and so she'd
be like okay, and there was a bar right there.
We took her and bought her a beer, and she said, well,
I'm gonna go back to the hotel because we're gonna
because the NFL playoffs were on. She goes, I'll run
back to the hotel and take a shower and I'll
be back. So she comes back and it's like whatever
an hour later, and so we're sitting at this bar
and all of a sudden, people outside are like yeah, yeah,

(01:35:21):
going nuts, and so we all run out there to
see what was going on. And here was like this
eighty seven year old lady on like with a cane,
who was finishing the twenty six miles and I'm looking
at her, going.

Speaker 3 (01:35:39):
