Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
And rock.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
We have three hours to talk about what happened at
Bay Court Stadium yesterday.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
What we do, what we do, and plenty of time
to hash that all out, and there's a lot to
hash out. But we're right now. We're waiting on Corey Bowman.
He's supposed to be joining us right now. The talk
obviously look a huge election, right and the biggest thing
on the ballot is safety, right. I mean, in our

(00:29):
in our great city downtown July twenty sixth, the event
that got some major national headlines, two people beaten within
an inch of their life in a subsequent cover up
by by city hall. You know, multiple people shot on
Fountain Square a couple of weeks ago, and then just
last night had seven people shot in Cincinnati. There was

(00:50):
a time where you're like where that was like, oh
my god, like breaking news. Everyone stopped. And now I
hate to say it, but it's almost like, uh, it's
kind of what's expected. Yeah, that's sixty ninth and Vine.
Like around Carthage someone was shot around one thirty two
people shot in a speedway down the road. Oh t
are there or four people? Seven people shot in Cincinnati.

(01:10):
So again there's there's no question, what's on the ballot
here this year, and it is I think people are
clamoring for public safety for people that the people that
just want to go downtown, of course, the people that
live there, that the businesses that are down there that
are seeing folks stay home more and more and more
because they don't want to deal with the mess that's downtown, right,
And that's that's kind of where we are.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well, that's what gets me, man, is that it used
to be yeah, yeah, your your punk stuff, you know,
your punky kid behavior, blah blah blah, vandalism, Maybe maybe
somebody would rough you up and trying to take your
wallet or whatnot. But now everybody's getting shot getting shot.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
It's a big, big problem. And a guy that's hoping
to do something about it joined just right now. His
name is Corey Bowman and he is running for mayor
of our great city. Corey, welcome to the program.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
How are you.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Doing great? Thank you guys so much for having me.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Very good. And we were just giving a rundown while
we were grabbing you, Corey. I mean, I mean, this
is becoming like an everyday thing. You look, last night,
seven people shot in Cincinnati. It's becoming We're almost numb
to it. I hate to say, you know, it was
nowhere we should be, but seven people shot last night.
We had the violence that happened in late July, and

(02:30):
it's been an ongoing thing down there. What is I
guess what is your reaction? Your response when you see
this time and time again.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well, I think exactly what you just said, We've become
numb to it. There are certain comments that I've seen,
even on social media, that they'll just accept it and
they say, well, this happens in every city. Crime just happens.
I don't believe that that should be the case. I
believe that we can do better as a city. And
one thing that I've been doing ever since the wee
can happen is being on the phone call with public

(03:02):
safety representatives from the state trying to get a handle
on why we're not accepting the full package from the state,
from the Ohio State Patrol to be able to keep
our streets safe. And to be honest with you, it's
very just frustrating the information I'm getting to be able
to know that we're not taking advantage of everything that

(03:23):
we can to keep our streets safe.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
So Corey again, these instances, people see them that this
is not like you can't hide them, and people are
aware of it, you know, thankfully because of social media
helps that out. But when you say, you know, the
state and even the federal government want to help out,
but the leaders of our city refuse that help, Well,
what do they say, take us through some of those

(03:45):
conversations of what's going on? What's their justification for not
wanting help on something that is clearly a problem? Everybody
knows it.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Well, I think so a lot from a federal level,
a lot of people are trying to say that, hey,
we're calling in the National guard. We don't have violent
riots on our streets right now. I believe that the
city run properly, can manage the crime of itself. But
this is a thing that is most important in the
short term right now, is that we are twenty percent

(04:16):
understaffed as a police department. Not only are we twenty
percent understaff, but from city hall, they haven't over the
course of the four years of this past administration. They
haven't been able to be free to do their job
to enforce the low level crimes, which actually de escalate
everything to the high level crimes and then obviously we've

(04:38):
talked about the judges, how we have to put pressure
on the judges to hold criminals accountable. But when the
Ohio State Patrolled comes in with the package that they
are offering openly to the city, what it does is
that they have the ability of bringing all of our
complement levels up. What that means is that if we
have eight hundred officers on the streets and we need
one thousand, and that brings it up to that thousand.

(05:02):
On top of that, we have helicopter, We have everything
available to us. The nights that osp Ohio State Patrol
is able to help us, we see a decrease in
crime and we see criminals taking off the street. So
we have the ability of requesting that anytime. And I
believe that we need administration that thinks proactively. So I'm
sitting there thinking, you have Halloween, a holiday weekend on

(05:24):
Friday night, Saturday and Sunday, which you have a home
game of a Bengals game. You have a lot of
things going on in the city. That would be the
time where I think you need to accept help from
the state to make sure our streets are safe. I
talk with the public safety representatives and they are saying
that there was no help requested and basically everybody was

(05:46):
left to themselves on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and we
had shots fired and victims every night on Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
So we're talking to Corey Bowman and Corey why wouldn't
the administration accept this kind of help because I have
heard this said before and I don't get it at all.
There's an obvious need.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Well, I believe so when you look at other cities,
what the representatives are telling me is that when they
go to Cleveland, when they go to Columbus, when they
go to any of these other cities, they get welcomed
with open arms and they're able to see massive results.
I talking about like seventeen twenty thirty arrests, people getting
off the streets. But then whenever they come to Cincinnati,

(06:28):
they are told that they have to go through so
many hoops to be able to help the officers on
our streets. And I believe that is coming from the
mayor and the city manager's office that don't want to
allow this help to be on our streets to the
fullest of its capacity because they're playing political games.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, and it's no secret and I say this all
the time, Corey, like everyone knows how to get the
violence under control, and that is you got to enforce laws.
You got to have the presence of people to be
able to willingly do that. And you look at Nashville,
all right, they're on track for their lowest murders in
sixty years. Okay, Why, well, you can point directly to

(07:05):
the fact that they've added forty million dollars to the
police budget. They hired two hundred and fifty new police officers.
And guess what crime goes down that This is not
hard to figure out. Why can't we seem to get
this here here in the city. And what do you
think you can do as mayor to help help solve this?

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Well, you got to take the politics out. You've got
to take these culture wars out, you got to take
this social agendas out, and you've got to show people
that when it comes to our streets being safe, that
affects every community, that affects every family, that affects every child,
and the majority of crime is being done by a
very small amount of people. And so when we have

(07:48):
the officers on the streets not only to take the
high level crimes, but as they are able to de escalate,
approach properly, and be able to do their job, and
they're not willing to do that right now because they
don't believe they have the full backing of city Hall.
So I think that that's the biggest thing about Cincinnati.
Cincinnati needs leadership at the top that is going to

(08:09):
be tough on crime. We talked about lateral hiring over
the summer. They tried to hire cops. We did not
see a good response when it came to the lateral
hiring because nobody wants to work for the police department
that's under this current administration. And so if you have
strong leadership up top, the lateral hiring is going to
go through the route because they're going to know that

(08:31):
Cincinnati PD is held to the standard and they want
to work for the leadership that is at City Hall.
On top of that, you've got to be able to
put pressure, I've said it before on the judges. The
judges need to realize that this catch and release policy
is not working for our city. We've got to hold
the criminals accountable because the majority of these crimes are

(08:51):
being done by repeat offenders.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
So That's what you're saying is is even if there's
people that would be willing to become police officers and
get involved, but they're they're reluctant. They don't want to
do it because they know they're not going to be
supported from the top down. They know that they're going
to be you know, criticized at every turn. Did they
do this right? Did they do that right? There's not

(09:15):
a universal message coming from city all down of the
number one thing we got to do is stop crime
and that means having consequences for people to break the law.
That that message has never been uttered by a tap
here of all or anybody down there that has never
been said of, hey, we got to have a universal
thought here, if you break the law, you're going to

(09:36):
be punished. And so yeah, anybody that wants to sign
up as to be a police officer that they don't
want to because they know they're not going to get supported.
They know if they do arrest someone, they're going to
go to it in front of a judge just going
to let them write out. It's a it's a huge problem.
It really is a pervasive, huge problem. But I think
it all starts with the mentality of city Hall. And

(09:57):
that's what's just so corrosive right now.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Absolutely, and this is another thing that people need to
be aware of. Right now, we're twenty percent understaffed. You
have probably about eighty to ninety officers that are going
to be eligible for retirement next year. Now, this is
how it happens in the police department is that when
they hit early, when they hit the opportunity to retire,
the majority of officers they want to continue on working

(10:23):
because their pension gets filled up even more, the pay
is good, and then also they get a chance to
continue on doing their job properly. It's called taking the drop.
Right we have eighty to ninety officers that most likely
the majority of them won't take the drop. They'll elect
to retire early because they don't want to deal with

(10:44):
the consequences of what's going on in the police department
right now. And that's not trying to bad talk the
police officers that are currently working. They're working their butts off.
They want to protect and serve, but the conditions are
unbearable right now.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Well, and we're talking to Corey Bowman and guys. When
you say, see the mayor and the situation that's going
on with the police chief right now, Why would somebody
want to become a cop? Why would you It's like
getting higher. I don't care what job it is. If
you hear that the management situation is a mess, why
do you want to work there?

Speaker 1 (11:19):
No, that's exactly true. And then let's look at what's
happened with Chief Fiji, because we've always felt a lot
of people called for the resignation of the firing of
police Chief Fiji, but we always felt that this is
coming from the top down. Now with all the litigation
being exposed, we're seeing that they handcuffed her hands as well.
But then when they don't see the results that they

(11:40):
want to see based on their policies, they're going to
use her as a scapegoat to justify them being able
to continue on as normal.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, exactly, she's a scapegoat here. Let's blame her, even
though there's never been one message, there's no correspondence. No
lawyer will ever find a document, a transcript of phone
call anything of the mayor or anybody at city Hall
calling Chief Dji say listen, damn it, you gotta start
cracking down more. I need more cops on the streets.

(12:09):
I need tougher policies and more action. You'll never You'll
never find that. And and I would say, Corey, whoever
the next mayor is that, that's the number one thing
that's got to happen. I mean, that's the figurehead, that's
the one that's the ultimate message, the CEO. It's got
to come down from that person. Until that happens, I
think we're going to be, you know, kind of where

(12:30):
we are. Well, Corey, listen, we're running out of time here,
but but I know we've got a big election coming
up here tomorrow. Just you know, if how are things
looking campaign wise, and what can folks do if they
want to, I guess get behind and support you.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
So, I mean obviously, like it seems it's very late
in the game too, but if you go to Corey
Bowman dot com, every little bit helps, the donate button
actually goes in within one day. And so for us,
every fund right now is going towards mores and going
toward more exposure. But we've got one day left until
this critical election. We have to get out and vote.

(13:07):
And what I would say to any potential voter that's
listening right now, is that we have done our homework.
We know what it's going to take to bring public
safety to number one at city Hall. And I would
encourage people if you haven't voted in the past because
you don't believe candidates are on the ballot that actually
represent you. There are twenty seven city council candidates. Many

(13:27):
of them are great choices, and you have a choice
for mayor Cincinnati that is going to fight for public safety.
It's going to fight for the infrastructure, and it's going
to be fighting for the budget to be restored to
what it needs to be. And that's with Corey Bowman.
I would encourage people get out and vote if you
haven't voted in previous elections, and get out and vote tomorrow.
And then for those that are maybe on the fence politically.

(13:50):
We're not running this on national politics. These aren't red
or blue issues. These are right and wrong issues. And
I'm telling people vote outside your comfort zone. She got
that from a friend of mine that say that all
the time, we have to be willing to vote outside
our comfort zone if we want to be able to
actually see the results that our city needs.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
All Right, with that Corey moowment, we will let you
go take care.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Thank you all so much for having me.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Look Corey, thank you.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
The elections tomorrow. See how that plays out.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
That's it, big big, It's a big one.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
With that, we check in with traffic and what is going.

Welcome to sports Talk.

It's my final night here officially as the host of

didn't make anything out.

Speaker 6 (15:50):
A Bengal great and a broadcasting icon my broadcast career.

Speaker 7 (15:55):
I didn't know where it was going. I didn't know
how it was going to unfold, but my whole outlook
on broadcasting changed for the positive.

Speaker 6 (16:05):

Speaker 3 (16:18):
So game more iconic than this got This day in
History ed nineteen ninety, the world was introduced to the Iceman.
One of my favorite stories about this song is Brian

(16:40):
may Right, Queen's guitarist, who was the original riff of
this of course is under pressure with you know, Tuni
and Bowie and Brian May. Apparently was at a like
a club in this version of the song came on.
He walks up the DJ and ghost tell us this
like like what is this song? And the guy goes
The DJ goes, it's the number one song in America.

(17:02):
A guy he's like, oh, let me call my lawyers.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Well, and then the store. You know the story after that,
when Ice was on like uh MTV or something, he goes, no,
they're not the same at all.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
It's we should pull that. We should definitely pull that. Yeh,
it's the best. It's not the it's not the same lick.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
It's like there's goes.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
It's not the same song. Yeah. So the track was
initially released as the B side to his cover of
Play That Funky Music, which actually was he did a
good cover of that song because I had the CD,
and of course became the A side after DJ started
playing the song all over the place. So he's like

(17:55):
wildly successful. Now he's got like TV shows and it's
like something, what the hell? Well, good look man, I
feel like he went I mean, and good for him. Man,
There's nothing I like more than people who fight and
fight and fight and just somehow end up on top.
Because he was like he went from like the most

(18:16):
like kind of oddly revered guy in like nineteen ninety
then to like there's no bigger joke on planet Earth
than Vanilla Ice to now he's like respected, you know
what I mean? And because he you know, he didn't
just you know, turn into a total clown and made
something of himself and he's doing all.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Right, Hey, look he's found his niche man didn't.

Speaker 9 (18:37):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
That's funny though, but it's true to go from like
you're saying, just hard scrabble, make it, make it work
for you. That went away. Now, Okay, what can I do?

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Well?

Speaker 2 (18:51):
I could fix houses, I can you know I can
work on houses. Give me a TV show?

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Well, and he knew most of all he was he
was a personality. He was an entertainer, you know, and
how else would he pull off the gangsta white rapper thing.
He's an entertainer. He knows how to act. Well, you
know he did.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
And you see some of these other people who are
on whatever, some of those shows like what's the one
where the the so called celebrities or they make him
do special Forces drills or something like that, Oh yeah yeah,
or celebrity big brother crap like that. Yeah, I think

(19:30):
he did that for a little while, but you know
he's made something of him.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
Guy's on show. But I'm telling I know you don't
like that song, but that song hits. I do like
that song. I would say it's a guilty pleasure of mine.
I like I would say my dad, who's probably never
listened to a full rap song in his entire life,
would go, oh yeah, that's Ice Ice baby right. It
was that pervasive culturally of a of a song. It

(19:55):
has been forever that everybody knows that song. If I'm
if you hate rap.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Hey, look if I still being going to skate to
a skating rink when that Stung came out, I guarantee
you I'd have been skating around to that one. Uh,
let's talk to Justin and Fairborne. Hey, Justin, what do
you got on Vanilla Ice?

Speaker 10 (20:15):
So so, I think there's a more to a story.
Like I heard a story that Should Knight threatened and
extorted Vanilla Ice out of the right Set song by
holding by the neck over a balcony until he gave.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Up the right step song. I don't know whether it's
true or not.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
I've heard that same thing. I thought he held him
from like his foot and down with him over the
over the ledge, and yeah, it was so good. And
I forget what it was. Yeah, it was either right
to the song or wanted him to sign with death Row.
I forget another again, very iconic interaction between two power

(20:51):
brokers of the hip hop world.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Remember solely, this is my my weekend. Yeah, Commando said,
you were gonna you were going to drop me anyway,
Little Commando callback, that's your favorite movie. But I love
that movie. I'm not kidding you. I can watch that
I bet you. I've seen it twenty times. I can
watch it twenty more and not even break us away.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
It always it always comes through.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, well, it's just you got to pick out the
little nuance. I tried to. I tried to count one
time how many people that Arnold kills in that movie,
and it's it's nearly impossible, right everyone, well, really legit everyone.
And I think he gets like a scratch or something.

(21:37):
I mean he's kind of heard in it. Yeah, but
people are dying right and left, and or he just go.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
I mean, as you know, a seven year old kid
when he goes in the military outfit store and he
just starts grabbing this gun and that gun and this
grenade launcher whatever it was, right.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Oh yeah, and uh, well that's what I want to know.
Where that military's supply shop. Obviously it's in LA but.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
I was saying correctly. It wasn't like it was like
a like a shop yeah in LA. Right, Yeah, that
has uh, rocket launchers.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
But somehow or another he knew the code to the
secret back room where they have rocket launchers and grenades.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
And what's his name that movie?

Speaker 11 (22:20):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Oh crap, god, some of the c.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
No, it's I want to say Falcon, but it's not Falcon. No, Okay, now,
just because I'm trying to remember the Australian guy talking
to him, John John. Oh yeah it's John. But what's
his last name? I forget.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
I can't find it right now anyway. But yeah, that's
that's a movie hits man. See that's had a young
Alyssa Milano in it before she lost her way.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah she was, she was just a little kid. Yeah,
and uh but I we need to bring back that
do that topic again sometime. Movies that you can watch
over and over again. Last night we were bored, just
sitting around and I put on Dodgeball. Now I can
watch that movie over and over again.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
It's funny because because I've put that on, I usually
put something on the fall asleep too ly, I'll make
it five minutes us out. But yeah, I've been putting
it on last few nights, just you know, just to
kind of kind of have it.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Well, what's funny is I got about a half hour
into it and I fell asleep.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Yeah. By the way, his arnold's name and commander is
John Matrix. Matrix got what a what a just a
solid badass red Blood in America.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
Well, yeah, we knew that.

Speaker 14 (24:15):
We were.

Let's uh, we're talking Vanilla Ice. For whatever reason, what
was it? Nineteen then came out.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
On this day in history, nineteen ninety Ice Ice Baby
became the first to wrap record to top the US
singles chart.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Let's take to Mike and Lawrenceburg about it, and Mike,
what do you got on Vanilla Ice?

Speaker 1 (27:04):
I'm just thinking Ford got a boost because you know
how many white Mustangs five point oho was driving around
that year.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
There was a ton of them.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
That's right rolling in my five point zero. Yeah, top
down so my hair can blow the girl he's on
standby waving just to say, Hi, did you stop? I
just drove by. I can do this all day yet
all day, don't.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Let's let's start to Dan downtown. Hey, Dan, what do
you have on Vanilla Ice?

Speaker 13 (27:38):
I saw the Iceman at a Newport on the Levee
party on the river. He was the headliner and Rocky
I don't know if you noticed that he was in
the heavy metal for a while, and he all these
baby Burmers came down to see him, saying Ice, I staated,

(28:00):
and he's sang that as his lead song. And then
he announced that he was into a new music and
he did a whole set of heavy metal music.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Yeah, he did Ice Ice Baby to a Metal Remember
him doing that? Yeah, and the.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Entire crowd cleared out.

Speaker 13 (28:16):
They were they weren't there to see that, but uh,
I thought it was an interesting part of his musical.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Career, interesting to say the least.

Speaker 13 (28:26):
See.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Uh, No, Ice to me was the bon Jovi of ramp.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Now wait a minute, now, now, now you're making it personal.
You're you're you're trying to upset me. How is he
the bon Jovi of rap?

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Everybody knows who he is, but nobody cares.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
Oh my god, Wow, we just talked about it. Everybody
cares about the iceman. He's loved, revered.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Uh I got it.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
You gotta lie.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
I was so said. I don't have a soft spot
in my however bon Jovi. I do Ice though, just
because like we were talking, he's a scrapper. He's made
to work for him.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
You know that was cold head fingers. That was cold
well like ice Ice. If you can't take the heat,
get out of the ki roll it in your five point,
dude with my rag tough down so my hair can blowhead? Now,
did did that get you heavy with the chicks back then?

(29:23):
What was the again? I mean when it came out
in nineteen ninety when it was huge, and it was
huge for like two years. I mean I was ten
eleven years old, so I wasn't really in the chicks
at that point. I that was a good song.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yeah, did you have the hair?

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Because it was right about the time that came out.
And then Can't Touch This by mc Hammer, Like those
two albums came out around the same time and were
that was kind of the mainstream hip hop explosion and
that led to those low cross pants that EMC Hammer
wore and sure you know the yeah, you know, white
white dudes were had the high top hairdo like Vanilla Ice.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
And I was going to ask you did you have that?
Because I can't really see Mighty Mike boy letting you
rock that hair.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
Dude wasn't going to have that, Or if I asked
for the hammer pants, that wasn't That wasn't gonna going
to go down on the West Side Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
I can see strolling onto the campus of sad X
with your hammer pants and your kid and play hairdo
going on? Uh like like ice man, that goes so cool.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
So now I'll tell you what though, Like in reality,
the dude could really really dance, like you know if
you're into that thing or not, Like like the dude
could absolutely. I mean there's you know, videos see all
the time of him, like you know, back in the day,
and the dude could just do it. He could move.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
What don't he like one of the uh.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Like a backup dancer or something.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
No, I wouldn't. I thought when he was a kid
he did that. What he had I don't even know,
break dancing, throw down some cardboard and spin on your head.
Was he one of those guys I thought? I thought
maybe he was.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Was Okay, he's you know, he's fifty eight years old now, yeah,
Texas Texas guy. How about that?

Speaker 2 (31:24):
And uh, well, I don't know if he was.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
I know he was in like like dirt bikes and
stuff real big too, remember that, like that was that
was part of his thing.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
See I and I got buy me. But I stand
by my bon Jovi comparison, uh musically, not personally because
John bod Jovi, I'm sure he's a very nice man.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Which is always what you say about a guy you
don't like, but I don't care.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Oh gosh, speaking not caring anymore? Are you to that point?

Speaker 2 (38:16):
It's got worse that was well, do you see? Unacceptable
is not? It hasn't been acceptable.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
And yeah, they give it five hundred and seventy four
yards of offense. The second straight week they've given over
five hundred plus two or eighty three rush yards. Now,
you know, if this is Derek Henry in his prime, sure,
if this is you know, some of the great running
backs that that are out there, you can say okay,
But that was not the case. DeAndre Swift was out

(38:45):
of the game. They're down two of their top three
running backs are out. Some guy named mona guy who
I honestly got fortest clothes, did not know who he
was or where he played college before the game started,
Like Jim Brown hit one hundred and seventy six yards rush.
And then their third string guy I read this, a
guy named Britton Brown was on their practice squad. They
literally brought him off the practice squad because two of

(39:07):
their top guys were hurt. He's essentially their you know, fourth, fifth, sixth, sixth,
sixth string running back. Yeah, and and he runs for
he had that twenty two yard touchdown, ran five for
thirty seven yards. And it comes down to what we've
all seen and know. It's it's it's tackling, it's it's

(39:29):
personnel and yeah. Again, just when you think I can't
get worse, it does.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Well that touchdown at the end, I mean just there
was zero, uh nothing. They'd run into a guy spin
waltz into the end zone. It's a sprint to the
end zone.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
A new thing, like, oh my god, the impossible has happened.
We got it on side kick. Right quarterback whose arm
is literally dangling from his body go down there and
scores a game winning touchdown. We just gotta at some point,
don't you. I mean, you like, get a penalty or
something before you just you just let a guy just

(40:10):
stretch you right down in the middle of field. But
I don't know. I mean it's talking about with Willie.
But let's go. The Bengals have a few options and
none of them are good. Right Number one is you
start benching starters. And I'm not sure that's what needs
to happen. And I'm talking hit the waiver wire. Every Monday.

(40:33):
You bring in five or eight guys off the street
that you know have shown they can play, and you
get them, you give them a shot and maybe you
strike with one. And that's what this This this defense,
by the way, hey, to burst everyone's bubble is not
going to get fixed in one off season. It's impossible.
With with with drafting and free agency, in one off season,

(40:55):
you cannot build this level of defense into something that's
a formidable unit. Not gonna happen. But now maybe you
get a head start on that. Now you try to
find some guys, bring in some different bodies, and again
maybe you catch just catch fire with something. Maybe some
guy that was overlooked comes in here and he happens
to be the right fit, he happens to be a

(41:16):
better tackler, and maybe that's one more piece you don't
have to get next year. With already an impossible tasks,
you do that. I mean his fire coaches, but I'm
not sure how much is on I don't think is
the brun of this is on al Golden. I actually
feel sorry for him. He had a great gig with
Notre Dame. They go to the National Championship Game last year,

(41:40):
they're they're gonna go to the playoff likely again this year.
A great situation. But now he's here. You know, you
hear people say, well, we've got trade for somebody who's
gonna trade. Right, you can't trade Tree Hendrickson. He hasn't
played the last two weeks. He's thirty one years old.
You're not gonna get anything of I'm not gonna get
it Ford pick. You're not getting the second round, but

(42:01):
you probably won't get a third round pick for him.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
That's what I was going to ask you. Do you
trade him? Well, you just answered that.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
I mean, if he's on the top of his game,
you do. But he's not. He's hurting. Now, maybe something
come happens, he comes back, he gets healthy, he just
starts ripping the cover off the ball. Okay, maybe things change,
but you're still It's the reason why I remind folks
why there was the argument of even though he was

(42:28):
the best player on this defense last year, why it
doesn't make sense to give him a ton of money,
guaranteed money for a one or two year contract because
of his health concerns, the fact he had been injured,
the fact that he is going to be thirty one
years old and we are living it. We're living it
right now. All the fears of boy, maybe it's not
a good idea to sign him, is exactly why you

(42:50):
got You're paying a guy who's your best player on
defense and you can't you know, he's not on the fields,
who's not producing, and you can't trade him, so you're stuck.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
Well, that's the sad part. You pointed it out there.
And the way this team is drafted, it's not like
you even if you hit a home run in next
year's draft with all just go all, you know, all
in on defense, even if you hit a total World
Series Grand Slam, it's still not gonna it's not going

(43:26):
to come around in a year.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
Yeah, I mean, realistically, to think that this defense next
year is going to somehow, some way, draft free agency,
some guy on a practice squad happens to turn into
an all pro, I mean, what's that going to be?
Like three or four guys maybe and even that again,
and that's the pie in the sky, ask right for

(43:50):
that to happen, So that I think, that's what if
you want to think about it, and I encourage you
not to. That's what makes it even more depressing is
is the fact that digging your way out of this
in one offseason is gonna be tough.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Let's get your thoughts five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven,
eight hundred the big one. Uh, Let's get to Eric
in Liberty Township. First up, Eric what's going on, buddy?

Speaker 4 (44:16):
Hey guys, what's going on?

Speaker 1 (44:19):
So Bengals I can't believe, like, well it wasn't Bengals
when we actually got the onside kick, that couldn't believe that.
I'm like, oh my gosh, one's really going our way.
But then they turned the other page. Listen, the secondary
they should be called the Chippendales. They don't. There's no

(44:40):
arms going around anything. The front, the defensive line there,
I get they're doing. They're trying their best, but the secondary.
Rock you now, you can suit up now and they
would bounce off of you. And I'm not I'm not
saying that's a big you know, because I'm rock, You're

(45:02):
in shape, But I'm just like, you're not gonna you're
not gonna take somebody down. You're not gonna take a
tight end down length. And now they're wearing they're wearing
shoulder pads that most of us wore back in sixth
and seventh grade.

Speaker 4 (45:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
Well, I mean the fact is, I mean equipment aside is,
you know, they just haven't shown themselves to be to
be good good tackler. I do. I've said this before
with Lance. I think the fact that there's you know,
there is a especially the linebacking corps a lot of
new guys, and part of being a better tackler is
knowing where you fit in the scheme with confidence, like

(45:41):
where you're supposed to be? What gap do you have?
What gap does the guy next to me have? What
guy does does the safety have? And having confidence because
you know, lack of confidence is what creates mistakes.

Speaker 20 (45:52):
Can do I have that?

Speaker 3 (45:54):
Do I have this? Do I have that? I don't know?
And that you know, where you don't have the confidence
going to make a sure tackle? That that adds to
the you know, the the inability to tackle well well.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
And you know I brought it up there recovering the
on side kick. I thought, what's the last time I
saw that?

Speaker 3 (46:13):
I mean, it's like around two percent. I think there's
something that's crazy for that happening. And you get all
those things and I mean you get a I mean
they got that. That's I think the hardest part is
is they get the kickoff return to open up the game.
So you're getting you know, massive special teams assist. You

(46:34):
get another special teams assist by getting the the on
side kick. Later on, you know, Joe Flacco is puts
up over four yards and passing everything was there, and
I still couldn't get it. Give forty seven.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Points and still lose. And I was wanting to say
this earlier. You got to feel good for Joe Flacco
because man, it's obvious that he's having a blast throw
into these guys. Oh yeah, I mean Higgins and Chase. Obviously,

(47:10):
those guys make it easy to you can cherry pick. Okay,
if somebody's open over there, Yoshi's opened some blah blah blah,
Chases kind of sneaks out of the backfield. Yeah, that's cool.
But and you pointed it out, jamar Ches should be
the happiest guy alive. Because Flacco just has got a
target on his back, bigger in the state of Idaho.

Speaker 22 (47:31):
Dude.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
Yeah, I'm saying, does he want Joe burd to come back?
I'm not certain about it, because you know, Danny's had
what the targets have been since since Flacco has been there,
it's been twelve twenty three nineteen. Yesterday it was a
low of eight still, but he still had six receptions
for one hundred and eleven yards. Yeah, And I mean

(47:53):
for Flacco, he's in a great situation because he comes
in there's no pressure there, you know, there's no real expectations.
So he's just letting it rip and letting all of
his experience shine through and having a great year. Good
for him.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
Let's talk to Chris and Columbus. See Chris, what's going on?

Speaker 15 (48:12):
Hey, thanks so much for taking my call. You don't
know what a privilege it is for me to be
on seven hundred WLW. I grew up in Dayton Rip
Bob Trumpy, the first guy listened to you on the radio.
I'll never forget listening to the episode when he brought
Chris collins Worth him. I mean, this is history. We
love you, Bob, we miss you.

Speaker 22 (48:32):
You were.

Speaker 15 (48:34):
Is he going to make the Ring of Honor? Because
if he's not, we should.

Speaker 4 (48:37):
Get rid of the Ring of Honor.

Speaker 15 (48:38):
He needs to be right in the middle of it.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
Yeah, and he's he's, I mean such an iconic guy.
I got a pleasure to meet him a few times.
I mean, he is. And Will he's explained this and
we should have Maybe we have him talked about it
more tomorrow. But I heard Will explain it, like you know,
back when Trump he started in the eighties, and ninety
there wasn't sports talk rate, and he went to the

(49:02):
people in charge and said, hey, I want to do
a three hour sports show, and they laughed him out
of he would want to listen to this people talk
about sports for three hours? Are you crazy? Well he
hit the you know, went and found the advertisers, and
I mean literally created this medium that is employees, all
kinds of people, and all kinds of people listen to
every day. So I mean, I mean talk about a

(49:24):
historic thing that he did and helped create. It's amazing.

Speaker 4 (49:30):
Well, he's a great guy. I want to say this.

Speaker 15 (49:33):
I think that they can fix the defense enough in
one season to be competitive next year. This offense, look
what this offkins can do. Burrow needs to learn a
little bit from Flaco. Flaco gets rid of the ball constantly, quickly,
he processes and then Burrow has a better arm now.
But he can do it. All we have to do

(49:53):
is get the defense improved. But unless they fired Duke Tobin,
that's not happening. He the definite of insanity is what
repeating the same result the same action expecting a different results.
If we don't get rid of Duke Tobin, if the
Brown family doesn't have pride in their team and understand

(50:14):
and analyze what's wrong with it. It's starting with Duke Tobin.
Look at the draft picks, all these defensive draft picks.
The two defensive draft picks that were good we let go.
So I mean, look at they fixed the Denver Broncos
defense in one to two years. New England's defense in
one to two years. It can be done. But if

(50:35):
you don't get rid of Duke Tobin and hire someone
that is that knows how to draft defensive players.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
Yeah, And that's that's the thing is they are loyal.
The office is loyal to a fault, and there's never
been any inclining, never any publicly anything like, boy, if
that guy don't turn around, you know something's gonna happen.

Speaker 12 (50:59):
No.

Speaker 3 (50:59):
Nothing. That's why it's hard as a fan, because you know,
the the chance of things making wholesale changes aren't gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Let's talk to Elizabeth and Anderson Township. Elizabeth, what do
you have?

Speaker 23 (51:13):
Well, my thing is I've been born and raised here
in Cincinnati, and I just.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Feel like we're cursed.

Speaker 23 (51:19):
It's like ever since Jeff Cook on forward, it's just
been a nightmare after a night there. It's just very
bizarre to me.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
We need to sacrifice a live animal.

Speaker 23 (51:32):
It's just it just seems like, you know, we just
can't get it done.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
I agree. And that's what's even crazier is is this
fan base despite the fact that outside of you know,
like you know, about three years there, you know where
they went to a super Bowl in an AFC title game.
It's been pretty bad around here, and this fan base
still right still stands by this team. I mean, my guy, like,
what a luxury this organization. They should pinch themselves, say,

(52:01):
my god, is if we're being honest, how bad things
have been over the past twenty thirty years and we
still got fans that want to be I want to
support us. This is a miracle. We got to reward
that with something. By the way, ed real quick. Yadi Scheffler,
who follows me on Twitter, says, we're tying the Bengals

(52:22):
and the Vanilla Ice together here and in great job.
Nine years after Ice Ice Baby came out, Duke Tobin
took over duties as director of Player Personnel. Coincidence, but
that's how long he's been the player of personnel. Like
Vanilla Ice was still like a somewhat new memory.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
Did he I'm trying to remember if Vanilla Ice had
a second album. I remember when he tried to go
medal and I'm assuming he had a second rap album,
but I don't remember it.

Speaker 3 (52:57):
Let me find this out. He's been a bunch of movies.
Let me see if.

Speaker 4 (53:05):
Here.

Speaker 3 (53:05):
I'll find it here. Yes, this is important. I'm gonna
I'm going to prioritize this.

It's my final night here officially as the host of

Bob Trumpy.

Speaker 7 (54:34):
I met what I said. I didn't make anything out.

Speaker 6 (54:37):
A Bengal great and a broadcasting icon my broadcast career.

Speaker 7 (54:42):
I didn't know where it was going. I didn't know
how it was going to unfold, but my whole outlook
on broadcasting changed for the positive.

Speaker 6 (54:52):
We will miss our friend, Bob Trumpy.

He is sponsored by Low's You Want Black Ah.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Right Back with Eddian Rocky coming up here at the
top of the hour after the five o'clock news, we'll
be having our usual Monday conversation with our good friend
Dave Lapham.

Speaker 3 (55:15):
Yes, so somehow this turned in a show, turned into
a discussion about Vanilla Ice.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
Well. The reason is because on this day and history
nineteen ninety Ice Ice Bain he climbed to the top
of the charts and we discussed surtlers very famously. He
ripped off the baseline from under pressure by Queen and
David Bowie and also very famous. He explains an interview
that it's not the same song, and I think he

(55:45):
describes it very well. Here Austin hit it.

Speaker 14 (55:49):
We sampled them from him, but it's not the same
baseline like he.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
Does ding ding ding ding ding.

Speaker 6 (55:56):
Ding ding ding ding ding.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
That's the way there's bill out.

Speaker 22 (56:00):
Of ding ding ding.

Speaker 3 (56:04):
Clear as mud right, I speak for itself. He basicallylaim
there was like an extra note on the end of
the third verse kind of thing. Yeah, so, and I
didn't know this, looked this up. So by the way
he wrote that song when he was sixteen years old
in nineteen eighty three, is that right? Yeah, and held

(56:27):
on to it, you know, that long. And in terms
of you know, sampling that baseline, obviously, Queen and David
Bowie got no royalties initially from that song. And then
you know, David Bowie and Queen had their people calm
up and say, hey, uh, how we're gonna work this

(56:49):
out and settle out of court of course, uh with
his his his real name is Rob van Winkle, by
the way, required to pay financial recompense to both and
the members of Queen. Also written in the language. Bowie
and all the members of Queen were given songwriting credit
for that song. So if you look up a Google

(57:10):
Ice Ice Baby or Wikipedia and you'll see lender writers
you know, Brian May, Freddie Mercury and the whole smash, right,
which is pretty funny.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
Well, the whole sampling thing, there's Well, the one that
always got me was George Harrison back in the day,
My sweet Lord. Did you ever hear about that one? No,
but that's a fantastic song, yeah, my sweet lord, great song.
Basically one of George's, if not the first song. I

(57:42):
think it was his first hit single. After the Beatles
broke up. But anyways, giant song, and he was sued
by the writers of the song He's So Fine. You
ever heard that old song?

Speaker 3 (57:55):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
He's so Fine, just one of those girl groups from
the early sixties. And they said that he subconsciously plagiarized it.
Now how I was, like, he did it?

Speaker 3 (58:09):
Was not like guilty by reason of insanity, kind of
like I did it, but I didn't.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
They said, right, you did it, but I don't. We
don't think you know you did it, but you did it.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
And that held up. Yeah, it held only because he's
George Harrison, and I bet he had a whole team
of right lawyers.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
But yeah, no they Yeah, the writers won and it
was I think they might have. I don't know if
they added their names to the songwriting credits or what.

Speaker 3 (58:36):
You see this a lot in Instagram these days, and
I think a lot of it is because of ai is.

Speaker 11 (58:40):
You can.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
Find like similar basslines whatever, and a lot of this,
A lot of songs. You know, they'll take it off.
You know, a dance record from nineteen seventy six, some
obscure band no one's ever heard of, and you whoever
listened to it. They they lifted it, change it a
little but not quite enough, and boom, there it is.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
That you remember that song Bittersweet Symphony from a few
years Yes, that that string thing is sampled from like
the London Philharmonic play the Stones real, So that's from
the London philed Harmonics version of I want to say

(59:28):
Last Last Time. But regardless, it's an old Stone song
and they sampled that string thing out of there. Now
I don't I can't even imagine what's how that you know,
equates to a Stone song. But anyways, somebody heard that
sue that band and Jagger and Richards are on that song.

Speaker 3 (59:51):
Now, wow, that's amazing. I saw on again on Instagram
the other day. The Iron maidens the Trooper, which is
one of their more famous songs. I mean, like almost
word for word, like this guy they seemingly ripped off
off to some other you know again obscure metal European

(01:00:13):
band that never made it, never nothing, and it's like
that's sounds we're almost word for word of what you
reverse to the song Trooper is. Yeah, but back then
you could kind of maybe you could kind of get
away with it to some degree. But it's harder.

Speaker 4 (01:00:29):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
Well, the whole rights thing, I don't I don't get
it at all.

Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
I don't you know with.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Well, I told you that my wife is saying you
should do a podcast where you have like you and
you have Rocky on as a guest, and you talk
about your favorite ten albums or whatever and you play
songs from that. And I was like, well, that's the
only problem with that is it cost me about two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in rights. Right, yeah, I
don't think I'm gonna make that money of commercials.

Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
But it is like there's nothing new under the sunny.
How many singular songs have been made since let's call
it nineteen fifty five, right, nineteen sixty right rock and
roll started. I mean, there's no arrangement of notes that
hasn't been done, so there's always similar.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
Maybe, you know, because I've heard that there are only
so many combinations of notes and it's a finite number.
I forget what the number.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
I think he didn't ed Sheerhan. He was brought to
court and then he kind of make that case and
he you know, like just yeah, right, and he played
the guitar in court and being like, you know this song,
If I play like this same notes, it sounds like
this song. If I play these notes like this, it
sounds like that song. And yeah, and to the point
about George Harrison, you could see like you heard a

(01:01:49):
song you don't remember where or when. But yeah, I
really like that that groove, that beat, well let me
kind of morphat around.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
So yeah, that's what I just always love that. We
know you didn't mean to, but you did.

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
Very funny.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
Let's go back to the phones. And I wanted to
get to Phil. Phil has been holding a little bit.
Hey Phil, where you want to talk about the Bengals?
What do he got?

Speaker 22 (01:02:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (01:02:20):
I wanted to ask Rocky a couple of questions. I
agree with the caller you hit about Duke tob and
they need to get somebody who knows how to evaluate
defensive talent. Did Zach Taylor him any previous head coaching
experience before he came to the Bengals.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
No, I know he was an assistant with UC for
a while and then he went he was with the Rams.
But the answer is no. I mean Austin correct me
if I'm wrong, like I don't. Yeah, there was no.

Speaker 12 (01:02:52):
And Rockyd This is going to hit you pretty hard, probably,
but I'll ask the question, hang up and listen to
your answer. Is Marcus Freeman ready to be a head
coach in the NFL?

Speaker 4 (01:03:06):
Thank you? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:03:08):
I think he probably likes his gig a Notre Dame
pretty good. But you see more and more college coaches
jumping to the NFL just because it's a little less headaches,
dealing with all the you know, the transfer portal and
n I L and raising money and blah blah blah blah.
So you never say never. I think if Freeman won

(01:03:28):
a championship at Notre Dame, I think you. But I
think he's, in my opinion, he's too close to doing
a very hard thing, which is winning a national title
at Notre Dame.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
Your assessment, he's your coaching gig, college or pros.

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
I think I gotta say pros these days. Just there's
a little bit of an offseat.

Speaker 22 (01:03:53):
I get.

Speaker 3 (01:03:53):
I talked to college coaches every week and there's no
downtime none, you know, at least the NFL. Okay, you
get into February March, and I know the combines, coning,
I get all that, but there's a little little more time.
And you're also not dealing with the problem with like

(01:04:13):
the portal and all that in college football is in
the fact that these guys are getting paid. It's like
there's contracts don't mean anything. You know, when you signed
Joe Burrow to a five or six year deal or
whatever it was, you know he's gonna be here for
six He can't just at the end of the season
say you know what, I'm gonna play for the Ravens
next year. Well, now in college you can kind of
do that. That's gotta be maddening dealing with that, and

(01:04:35):
it's especially hard for the smaller schools.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
Let's talk to Joe and Fairfield. We're all over the place.
Here are we talking about vanilla ice? What are we
talking about?

Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
Joe?

Speaker 14 (01:04:45):
You guys were talking about beats being lifted by musicians
from other.

Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
Songs and such.

Speaker 14 (01:04:50):
Yes, the infamous song by Snoop and Doctor Dre The
next episode was originally done by the actor that played
Ducky in ncis David McCollum.

Speaker 3 (01:05:04):
What Really.

Speaker 14 (01:05:07):
If you If you look up David McCollum's original song
from I Think It's the nineteen sixties or something called
The Edge you'll recognize the beat right away.

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
We try to try to pull that here.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Uh and and Joe are we waiting David McCollum, wasn't he?
And the man from Uncle? Is that that guy?

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
I believe?

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
So yeah, yeah, Ilia kurriyokin and uh and thanks Joe,
so you got it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
I I'm sending to Austin right now the edge. We'll
see if it sounds like wow, dead on.

Speaker 5 (01:05:50):
Ye.

Speaker 3 (01:05:54):
I assume they gave this guy credits. This is too
much like that song to not. You're gonna have to
you don't know the extent, Orry Austin. Play the next
episode by Doctor Dre and Snoop Dogg. Now next, if
you can find the clean version, I mean it's it's

(01:06:14):
dead on the beat in the in the like kind
of that that intro piece there.

Speaker 24 (01:06:26):
Down even down to that.

Speaker 3 (01:06:33):
Yeah, yeah, right on it. I did not know that.
But but Doctor Dre sampled a lot of stuff though,
right Those guys never shy about that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
Didn't They pretty much started all more or less.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
I mean that's kind of yeah, how rap was created.
They just sampled a bunch of songs and they you
mix them up and scratch records and put together something.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
I always wanted to be able to do that, and
I never could.

Speaker 3 (01:06:56):
I know, my buddy, well my buddies was he in
junior high at the time, but he got a set
of turntables for Christmas, and he he was gonna do it, right,
he was gonna just stretch scratching records. And man, it's
a lot harder than than it looks.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
I could throw. I could throw that cardboard down and
spin on my head. I'm telling you right now, son
at break dancing, That's what I'm saying. But you play
a little bit, you know there, scratch and sniff or
whatever you call it, scratching record.

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
He's like one of the best, supposedly one of the
best guys the turntables ever kid rock, I've heard that. Yeah,
he's like a master of like twelve instruments some something insane.
But that's like that's that's like, there's nobody better on
earth at that whatever that is than him.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
He grew up like he's a rich kid from Detroit,
right something like that. His old man was rich, but
I know he was. I think his old man ran
a bunch of car dealerships or something, Okay, but so
you know, he had time to.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
Super talent and super dedicated. That guy's got a great
story and he literally started from absolutely nothing and just
like never took no for answer. No, I'm gonna make
it at this. And he was high water.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
He was a breakdancer too. He was just like me
with I don't imagine that, I don't even think about it.
With that, we check in with traffic and weather. What
has gone on?

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
The kid's dad owned the dealership. He didn't run it,
he owned them.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
That's what I thought.

Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
All right back with Eddian, Rodney and Rock as we
like to do this time every Monday after a Bengals game.
We chat with this fellow, right heil, our good friend
Dave Lapham and day or I was gonna say, Dave,
what can you say about yesterday that hasn't been moaned
about all day to day?

Speaker 4 (01:10:32):
Really not much.

Speaker 11 (01:10:33):
I mean it's been hashed over pretty pretty darn well. Yeah,
you know, the bottom bottom line is the uh they've
lost three in a row excuse me, two out of
the last three and uh, and they've given up a
top points and so doing. I mean, even in the
victory three weeks ago against the Pittsburgh steel it was
thirty three thirty one, you give up thirty one points

(01:10:54):
and still win the football game, which is remarkable against Pittsburgh,
and then to lose to the Jets thirty nine thirty eight,
you lose to the Bears forty seven, forty two. I mean,
you're scoring over forty points, over thirty three points every
single game, but you give it up over thirty one
points every single game. I mean, it's just offensively, they're

(01:11:16):
they're getting some things done. Joe Flacco has been a godsender, really,
I mean, yeah, that's a heck of a heck of
a pickup. And he's understanding the offense, is understanding what
needs to be done. He understands who to get the
football to. He's been around a long time. He's been
around eighteen years. He's seeing the good, the bad, and

(01:11:38):
the ugly. He's seen it all. So if the defense
can come around a little bit and just I mean
make a stop at some point in time, I mean
when the game's on the line one time, you know,
get a three and out, you know, make them, make
them punt the football at some point in time during
a y a key drive to during the during the

(01:12:00):
football game. It's uh, it's mad being really to watch,
and you know it's gonna the worm has to turn
because they're nine games in and they're three and six.
They've lost twice as many games as they've won. So
they're gonna have to turn it around pretty quickly because
they're running on time.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
Yeah, and lot with the defense, of course is the
big issue. But that there's not a ton of options
right like like no, you know, Pro Bowl players are
all of a suddenly you're just gonna show up, you know,
the the the you know, concept of trying to trade
for somebody to get better talent. I don't see that happening.
But but at some point, don't you have to like

(01:12:38):
start benching some starters lap, don't you You can't just
roll the same guys out there for three straight weeks
that that just flat can't get it done, don't you.
I mean, hit the waiver wire and just bring bring
in ten guys every Monday for workouts and just try
them and plug them in and and get something. And
maybe you catch a diamond in the rough. Maybe do

(01:13:00):
you just swing and you happen to hit on somebody
that no one else really saw. But then don't you
have to do something? Let I think you have to at.

Speaker 11 (01:13:09):
Least you know, you know, like you said on Mondays,
bring people in and let everybody know that. Look, everybody's
job's not staff around here. You can't feel comfortable. It's
what you're doing is not good enough. And you know
if you can't, if you can't do a better job,
we're going to get somebody that can. I mean, the
national football is a competitive environment. If you can't cut

(01:13:30):
the mustard man, you're going to be cut by the wayside.
So yeah, I mean, I just think Al Golden and
the coaching staff on the Bengals defensive side of the football.
They just have to get more out of what they've
got on the roster, becaseide I just don't I just don't.

Speaker 4 (01:13:47):
See the Brown Blackburn family doing what we're talking about.

Speaker 11 (01:13:50):
I don't. I don't see them making wholesale changes, you know,
during the season. Now in the off season, that's a
horse of a different color. Potentially, you know, some heads
will all but in the season, I just don't see it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
We're going to Dave Lapham and lap of Rock and
I talked about this a little while ago. What do
you see the future of Trade Hendrickson in this city?

Speaker 22 (01:14:09):
Do?

Speaker 4 (01:14:11):
What is it to be? Yeah, that's a that's a
good one. That's a million dollar question there. I think.
You know, he's he's been hurt.

Speaker 11 (01:14:21):
He hasn't been able to do everything he wants to
do physically, and that's going to be frustrating to him.
You know, he's playing playing banged up. There's no question
about that. He's kind of hinted about, you know, Trade,
I do think that he really likes Cincinnati. The Cincinnati
Bengals kind of saved his career as such, and you know,

(01:14:41):
he was doing well down in New Orleans, but not
like he did when he came to Cincinnati by trade,
and you know, he had his two best years he's
ever had, seventeen and a half sax seasons back to
back seasons. And he's still, in my mind an incredible
pass rusher, and they're missing him. They're missing the consistency
that he can give you off the edge in terms
of pressure in the quarterback and at least making the

(01:15:04):
quarterback have to most of them are right handed, you know,
worry about their blind side or committing resources to getting
him blocked, you know, putting a have to slide a
guard in a tackle, uh to to Trey Hendrickson or
put a tight end over there, or you know, have
a back stay in and chips so uh sometimes you
have to do you know, more than one of those things. Yeah,

(01:15:26):
he's a guy that he's a guy that commands you know,
three people's attention for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:15:31):
Well, what is the prognosis? Obviously a bye week right
now helps, but what are what are you hearing? Is
this a guy that after the bye week he's expected
to be back in full strength or is this something
that's going to take a while, Like what are you hearing?

Speaker 4 (01:15:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:15:47):
I don't know they've been pretty quiet, you know about
that about that injury. I know it's a shoulder issue,
a shoulder separation, and I don't think it's a you know,
one where there's first, second, third degree and you know,
complete complete separation with the bones, you know, stick out
through the skin kind of thing.

Speaker 4 (01:16:05):
It's not it's not like that, but it's it's a
it's an injury that you have to you have to
fight through the pain.

Speaker 11 (01:16:11):
You know, it's a it's not a comfortable feeling, and
you know, and you're using your hands and your arms
in the past, rush and grabbing and pulling people all
that sort of thing.

Speaker 4 (01:16:20):
So I think I think that for the if they
can get in a in a in.

Speaker 11 (01:16:25):
A groove and you know, start start to roll a
little bit as a as a football team, I think
you could make a major contribution for him down the stretch.

Speaker 4 (01:16:34):
I really do.

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
And Lapp, we were also you had mentioned earlier Flacco
and Rock and I talked about this a little while ago,
don't you think. I mean Flacco right now looks like
he's having the time of his life. I mean, obviously
it'd be better if they're winning, but he's loving throw
into these to these receivers. Man, it's he's having a blast.

(01:16:57):
It looks like to me, you're zachly Red.

Speaker 11 (01:17:00):
I mean, you know, who wouldn't want to throw to
Jamar Chase, you know, if you're a professional quarterback. I mean,
that guy's having a having another phenomenal year. I mean he's,
you know, coming off a season where he won the
Triple Crown in terms of you know, catches, yards and touchdowns.
But shoot, he's already got seventy eight receptions for eight

(01:17:22):
hundred and thirty one yards and you know, I mean
six touchdowns. And he said he's having a hell of
a year. And you know, then you got t Higgins,
who would be a number one on most teams, but
he's the one A with the Bengals, and uh, you know,
he's he's putting up. He's averaging fifteen yards per per reception,
and he's got six touchdowns himself. He's got a forty

(01:17:45):
four yard you know, touchdown reception. So I mean Flacco
still has a howards or hanging off that right shoulder. Man,
He's still got he's still got plenty of juice throwing
the football, and he's very accurate throwing it. Distances down
the football field. I mean, he's he's got plenty left
and I think next year I would I would sign him.
You know, I think he's just signed a one year contract.

(01:18:06):
I'd sign him again, and I'd say, okay, I get
the two best quarterback two quarterback situation on my roster.
That's the best in the National Football League. I got
a one two punch that nobody else in the league
has at the quarterback position. I got a you know,
a guy by the name of Joe Barrow who is
an MVP candidate every year, and then being backed up

(01:18:27):
by Joe Facko.

Speaker 4 (01:18:28):
Man, you'd being high cotton at that position, no doubt.

Speaker 3 (01:18:32):
Lap At what point? And we're actually already seeing it,
you know, after the game, Jamar Chase I was a
quota saying, man could not get one effing stop? You
Chase Brown? After the game, you know what the f like,
At what point is is there a mutiny lap? At
what point does the offense you know, almost go to
go to fist with with the defense or saying, look, man,

(01:18:54):
NFL guys are prideful guys, right, you played in the
NFL like no one wants to be embarrassing right now,
the offense is saying, you guys are embarrassing us, and
how come you're not fixing it? What point does it?
Does it turn bad in this locker room?

Speaker 22 (01:19:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:19:07):
I mean, you know, you hate to see a locker room,
a divided locker room, you know, And just by what's
going on, I mean, the offense, like we're talking about
scoring thirty points a game and the defense giving up
over thirty points a game, it's easy to see who's.

Speaker 4 (01:19:24):
Going to be pointing to blame it who?

Speaker 11 (01:19:25):
And the offense is I mean, the offense right now
is is saying that the defense, come on, man, get
something done, do something. I mean, if you got to
make personnel changes, you have to make schematic changes, whatever
you have to do, do it, because right now what
you're doing is not cutting it, man. I mean, it's
you're getting shredded, getting shredded out there on a weekly basis.

(01:19:46):
And you know, we're not perfect, but we're playing a
hell of a lot better than you are, and you know,
let's see if we can balance this thing up a
little bit. And you hate to see, you know, teammates
pointing fingers at each other, you know, individual teammates that's
and the way some of the guys are talking, it
sounds like that's what's going on.

Speaker 3 (01:20:06):
Yeah, there's no doubt, Lap, I don't know, it's it's
just it's just hard because this this defense, it's it's amazing,
but it's it's gotten worse. And and the tackling, and
you know, that's something I always had pride in my
ability to tackle. And you're not you're not singing that.
And I understand how hard it is to practice tackling
during the season, but it's always been hard to practice tackling.

(01:20:28):
But for some reason, this just it's it's not happening.
And I don't know if it's you know, with young
guys on defense, the young linebackers, uh, you know, with
with Carter and Knight and maybe not knowing being fully
confident in the scheme, and sometimes that can make you
a little hesitant if that's part of the issue. But man,
the tackling, the basic fundamental of defense, and of course

(01:20:51):
the basic fundamental of offense is blocking, which you know
a lot about. But the basic thing is is the
thing we're worse at.

Speaker 4 (01:20:58):
And I think you've hit on where the biggest problem is.

Speaker 11 (01:21:01):
I mean, Honestly, the biggest problem is the lack of
tackling defensively, I mean mistackles, not finishing plays. Man, that's
something that you're taught at the pee wee level, the
Pop Warner football level. You're taught how to tackle, and
you're taught how to go through their techniques and fundamentals
of it. And man, Paul Brown was a sticker on it.

(01:21:23):
He had a drill called the routine Tackling drill and
it was form tackling. Everybody ever, quarterbacks, everybody ever started
every single practice with the routine tackling drill. And Paul
pep is you know, old school, there's no question, but
he was successful time in won a lot of football games.
He's one of the foundation founding fathers of the National

(01:21:44):
Football League, and he believed in the principles of in
the basics of blocking people, in tackling people and getting
people on the ground.

Speaker 4 (01:21:53):
There's no question about it. You know, I know, I know.

Speaker 11 (01:21:56):
There's all kinds of advanced metrics and uh you know, scouting,
ways to break film down and everything that goes along
with today's modern NFL football. But bottom line is, at
some point it boils down to who can block?

Speaker 4 (01:22:12):
Who can tackle?

Speaker 2 (01:22:13):
Let me ask both of you guys this question, uh,
the if and it looks at the next what four
or five games are really that's a tough road to
hoe right there. Do you do you play Joe Burrow
when he's available to come back for the rest of
the season.

Speaker 3 (01:22:28):
I don't think he's gonna be ready to come back
their lab, is he.

Speaker 4 (01:22:33):
I think I think he'll maybe work his way back,
you know, at some point. But I don't I don't
know how soon that is. Rocket. I haven't really gotten
a good indication or get an indicator on that.

Speaker 11 (01:22:44):
Uh, he is down there though he was on the
field on the sideline, you know, giving feedback and his
input on an opinion on things. Joe Flacco's he came
off the football field in this last game against the
Chicago Bear, so that, you know, that's a good sign.
He's always been engaged. It's not like he's uh, you know,
chucked out mentally and and said I got nothing to
do with the football team.

Speaker 4 (01:23:03):
I'm hurt, I'm done. It's not it's not anything like that.

Speaker 11 (01:23:06):
But man, like uh like gett he was saying, you
got to go to Pittsburgh, you got New England. Brabel
doing a hell of a job there. You gotta go
to you gotta go to Baltimore, and you got to
go to a Buffalo back to.

Speaker 4 (01:23:19):
Back weeks there. Man, those are those are tough ones.

Speaker 11 (01:23:23):
Uh. And then you get Baltimore again at home, going
to go down to Miami against Tula, Arizona, Man and Cleveland.
So I mean, if the Bengals somehow can be in
it in the last couple of games of the season,
I don't think that those are our teams Arizona in Cleveland,
that that the Bengals, if they aren't a nice one,
that they should say, oh geez, we can't beat these guys.

(01:23:46):
But you know, it's pipe dream stuff right now, because
you just lost a football game you should have won,
could have won. I had one, couldn't finish it and
fall to three and six. So I'm sure a lot
of Bengal fans are like, are you crazy? What the
hell are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (01:24:01):
Playoffs? You kidding?

Speaker 4 (01:24:02):
Meet playoffs?

Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
Come on, man, Yeah, that's that's tough one.

Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
Yeah, all right with that lap, We'll let you go.
What do you got coming up tonight?

Speaker 22 (01:24:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:24:12):
We got you know, Lance and I are do Bengals line,
of course, and we got interviews from from a bunch
of players coaches as well, talking about the you know,
what went right, what went wrong and whytt why it
was that way, what the Chicago Bears did to to
get the Bengals uh on their heels a little bit,

(01:24:33):
and uh why it took so long to recover in
some instances. So hopefully though, they'll they'll be able to
get this thing, like we said earlier, turned around sooner
rather than later, because you can't waste any more weeks.

Speaker 2 (01:24:46):
All right, with that lap, we'll let you go, buddy,
Thanks so much.

Speaker 4 (01:24:49):
Guys, have a great one. Appreciate the opportunity.

Speaker 5 (01:26:45):
On our next episode, we'll be telling the story of
lawnmower racing.

Speaker 2 (01:26:52):
All right back with Eddie and Rocky just a little
while longer and rock this is kind of a cool story.

Speaker 3 (01:26:58):
Yes, scary story, this fella scari yeah, Ron Daily Uh.
He disappeared early October. I was hunting and hiking around
a severe on Nevada Mountains on a hunting trip and
I guess you know, according to him, he got lost.
Now I can test he just wanted to get it
away from his wife for a little bit. But nevertheless
he was found and with the latest and an update

(01:27:20):
on the story, Alex Stone from ABC joins us. Alex,
what is the latest with this?

Speaker 24 (01:27:25):
Hey there, guys. Yeah, I'm pretty incredible that over twenty
days ago he goes out was supposed to be a
day trip, never came back. And there's been this big
search and rescue effort in Presho County, California that went
on for him. But there were no signs of him
until this weekend when some other hunters they were in
the Sierra Nevada and they came upon him in the woods.
And he's doing amazingly well. He was in the hospital

(01:27:49):
over the weekend, being watched, but going home today, and
his wife got a phone call when he was rescued.
She could not believe it. She's telling us, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 25 (01:28:00):
I know you're worried.

Speaker 22 (01:28:01):
I loved it so much.

Speaker 24 (01:28:03):
And she says that he kept apologizing for not coming
home over those twenty days and messing up his truck.

Speaker 25 (01:28:09):
He lost his fuck he lost his truck.

Speaker 20 (01:28:12):
I don't even know what that means.

Speaker 21 (01:28:14):
I said, I got here, I ran out of gas.

Speaker 22 (01:28:17):
I lost my truck.

Speaker 23 (01:28:18):
I said, I don't care about your truck.

Speaker 2 (01:28:21):
I just so cat are bolly.

Speaker 24 (01:28:24):
So he's been in the hospital. His daughter recorded him
for us, telling his story, and he says it was
quite an ordeal. He ended up on a rock crawling
trail that a jeep trail that his truck wasn't made for,
and he didn't mean to get on that trail and
he couldn't get out of it, and there was snow.
He got stuck. He was unable to get out from
his hospital bed, saying this, I.

Speaker 22 (01:28:44):
Just backed up to him, checked my truck up and
made it little, took the passenger seat out and throwed
it in the back. So I had the place A
laid down, very uncomfortable. My heads are killing me.

Speaker 24 (01:28:56):
Yeah, so he laid down in the truck. He was
there for quite a while. He had about two weeks
worth of food. He waited for rescue, was living out
of the truck until Saturday. He decided he had to
get out of there. He was gonna die. He was
out of food. He's been out for like a week,
week and a half of food and water, and so
he hiked and said that that he had to make.

Speaker 22 (01:29:16):
A move, trying to walk out. Man, you're gonna sit
here and die. I got on my card, Mom and
I started walking in and it was the toughest walk.

Speaker 24 (01:29:27):
They were dying because every time he thought he had
gone over a mountain, there was another one there and
another one there. He kept wanting to quit, but he
said he had to keep going. The sun went down,
and that's when he made a prayer to God, saying, hey,
help me out.

Speaker 22 (01:29:39):
I got my head down, my hands and I'm praying, Lord, Lord,
you got to send somebody up here to me. I
can't hardly walk anymore. Lord, you gotta help me. Father.

Speaker 4 (01:29:51):
God went light though it.

Speaker 24 (01:30:00):
God, And he says, those were hunters coming up the
road yelling his name, that they knew that there was
a hunter named Ron who had been missing for quite
a while, knowing you'd been lost. They got him food,
they got him water. But he says it was that prayer.
It was answered almost immediately. He was able to get
a call out to his wife and say I'm safe.

Speaker 22 (01:30:18):
Yeah, just crazy to go to God. Thank you Lord
for bringing the men into my life. It's saving my
life today. Lord.

Speaker 24 (01:30:25):
Yeah, so it was those hunters who got him. He's
generally okay. He's recovering now. He does have some injuries,
as he talked about how hard it was to walk,
and he hurt his hip and different things. But he's
thankful to the hunters. You know that they went into
the remote wilderness and on Saturday happened to be driving
up that dirt trail and they found them. But he's
going home and he's safe.

Speaker 2 (01:30:46):
That's crazy, amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:30:48):
Yeah, I mean, because yeah, you think, okay, I know
where I'm at or the woods aren't that big. I mean,
you get out there and you go for days and
days and days and not see an absolute soul. This
guy is tremendously lucky.

Speaker 24 (01:31:02):
He's very lucky, and that he got to the point,
you know, he kept thinking, I'll sleep in the truck,
I've got some food, I'm gonna be fine, obviously no
cell phone service in the Sierra Nevada, and thinking somebody
would find him. And then after about a week of
running out of food, he thought, this is my time.
I'm either going to die right now or I got
to start hiking and he hit the not even a trail,

(01:31:26):
you know, he just he started hiking through the woods
and he was able to find help or they found him.

Speaker 3 (01:31:32):
And they often tell you, like in situations like that,
whoever they is, you should stay in one place and
people will find you. I disagree, man, I'm gonna go
to If I'm going to go down, I'm going down swinging.
You know, I'm going to pack all the food I
got and try to make a go at. It looks
like maybe by luck or circumstance, it worked out for

(01:31:52):
this guy.

Speaker 24 (01:31:53):
Yeah, absolutely, he made that choice, had that conscious decision.
He was going to do something, and otherwise those hunters
would have never found him. And they were able to
find him and immediately get him food, water, satellite call out,
so his wife knew he was all right. Pretty amazing
ending it could have gone the other way. After twenty days,
search and rescue was kind of done, you know. It
was just thought, well, we don't know what happened to him,

(01:32:14):
and they saw no sign of him, so it was
he was kind of on his own, that thought.

Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
I was going to ask you, what about search and rescue.
That would seem to be not easy to find a
truck in a situation like that if you knew the
general area where the fellow was.

Speaker 24 (01:32:30):
Yeah, this year and about are so remote when you
get deep in there, and I mean it's a huge
mountain range, and they search and rescue Presno County, the
Sheriff's department, they had been searching for him. They had
helicopters up and drones and the people on the ground
and they couldn't find any sign of them. And then
they would kind of rekindle their efforts every now and

(01:32:50):
then and go deep in there. But he was pretty
deep and he was down that I guess this rock
crawling trail that they never thought he would go down
in the vehicle that he has or had that was
made for the specialized jeeps, and he had accidentally gone
down there and gotten deep into it. Nobody was able
to find him.

Speaker 2 (01:33:08):
Down there, all right with that, alex Uh. Luckily this
has a happy ending. Thanks so much, buddy, you got it.
Thanks nice happy ending that story.

Speaker 22 (01:33:16):
Rocket.

Speaker 3 (01:33:17):
Yes, what do you got another news that we're talking about?
You know, AI and robots and all that and how
you know, AI is going to take a lot of
white collar jobs and maybe some of the jobs that
are left or some of the more blue collar things,
right and lifting stuff and repairing pipes and electricians and
all that sort of thing. Here's something might throw a

(01:33:37):
little wrench in this, and this is pretty wild, but
scientists have created artificial muscles which give humanoid robots never
before seen strength.

Speaker 4 (01:33:47):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:33:48):
So I apparently the after reading this, the hard part
about like, you know, creating whether it's a suit or
a robot that can actually lift things, is it has
to do with the elasticity of whatever. Like a fake
muscle is made out of, like where it's if it's
if it's too loose, it's not strong. If it's too strong,

(01:34:09):
it's not limber enough, right, unlike like real human muscles.
So that was that was always been the you know
kind of the problem.

Speaker 15 (01:34:18):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:34:18):
Researchers managed to overcome these limitations by engineering a composite
muscle that becomes stiff when bearing heavy loads but softens
when it needs to contract. Report that in its stiffened state,
this artificial muscle can support roughly four thousand times its
own weight. Then when returned to a softened state, it

(01:34:40):
can be stretched up to twelve times its original lengths.
You're talking to some crazy space stage kind of material.
But thanks to the work by these folks, and this
is and I believe in South Korea. I believe there's
where they're they're doing this, not North Korea, South Korea. Yeah,

(01:35:01):
they think that like the if you if it was
a robot that had this technology, it could have the
strength of close to twenty men. You could lift the
same amount of things that twenty men could could lift.

Speaker 2 (01:35:12):
We're done for dude, done, we are It's over. I Uh,
I want to pal I succumb to my robot overlords.

Speaker 3 (01:35:22):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:35:23):
I want them to know I'm on Team bought.

Speaker 3 (01:35:26):
That's because you don't want to get vaporized. Correct, when
I start picking who stays and who goes?

Speaker 2 (01:35:30):
What are your nuts? Robot that's the strength of twenty men.

Speaker 3 (01:35:36):
Yeah, and has the brain power to know everything about
every subject ever written in human history.

Speaker 4 (01:35:42):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:35:43):
That's a tough combent. That's that's tough to beat in
the marketplace. You know you're competing against you know other
people out there have this skill that kill skill.

Speaker 2 (01:35:50):
Yeah, I don't only kind of beat you up at
it if it wanted to get us vaporize you with
its brain.

Speaker 4 (01:35:57):
Just right.

Speaker 3 (01:35:58):
Yeah, that's pretty tough, Pretty tough.

Speaker 2 (01:36:01):
So rocking other medical news, this happened in Bangkok, where,
of course, all good things happen. Pitia Mulan was arrested
as he conducted his new medical procedure in the back
of his vintage Toyota Corolla Wow. Mulan is also known

(01:36:23):
as shang Yai Modify, allegedly offered genital enhancement treatments to
men in the back of his Toyota, even though he's
not licensed go Figure to do so. He promoted his
business on TikTok, offering enlargement circumcision and implant and pearl implantations,

(01:36:46):
saying he learned how to do the surgeries by watching
stuff on YouTube.

Speaker 3 (01:36:56):
And I'm sure he had like a multimillion dollar off
of space with clean utensils and everything right in the
back of his toy in the back.

Speaker 2 (01:37:06):
Yes, I became interested in this kind of work, so
I studied and developed it as a side hustle to
supplement my income.

Speaker 3 (01:37:14):
You know, a side hustle is like a lemonade stand,
or you know, I'm gonna on the weekend, I'm gonna
pour asphalt and redo driveways make a couple of extra bucks.

Speaker 2 (01:37:23):
This is something different mow lawns, yeah, you know, leaves
and stuff like that. Authority has found no sterilizing equipment
in his makeshift operating room in the curl.

Speaker 3 (01:37:38):
If something's got to go, the sterilizing procedures do.

Speaker 2 (01:37:42):
But they did find local anesthetics, surgical blades, needles, and
other equipment. He has been charged with practicing medicine without
registration and authorization, which could land him in jail for
three years. So I want to know how stupid you
actually are to climb in the backseat of this dude's

(01:38:07):
Corolla and let him operate on your junk. Just say
I got this.

Speaker 22 (01:38:14):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:38:14):
I was a little skeptical, but after talking to the guy,
we had a ten minute consultation.

Speaker 2 (01:38:20):
I'm on board, and I want to I want to
know what is what's on YouTube in Malaysia there.

Speaker 3 (01:38:29):
Yeah, I haven't trust me. I haven't looked up some
things on YouTube. I have not gone there yet. Well,
and maybe that can be ours. We do better than
this guy. Least at least you've got like a condo
we can run and run the business out of.

Speaker 2 (01:38:40):
Yeah, yeah, I got an extra room. Yeah, or look,
you've got to pick up. At least we can do
it in the back of the pick up. Some more
room there, way more room than the back of a Corolla. Guad,
that's fourth rate. Tell me what goes through people's heads there.
Stretch out here and close your eyes and bite on

(01:39:02):
this piece of wood. You'll be fine.

Speaker 4 (01:39:05):
Be fine.

Speaker 2 (01:39:06):
I just watched the latest video, and I know exactly.

Speaker 22 (01:39:10):
What to do. You know what.
