Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
In my mind, the most important thing. I don't care
who's governor, who's this, that mayor or whatever the case
might be. I'm worried about my savings and UH and
my retirement plan, my four A one K in the
long term.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well, I think those are all fine. It's just the
cost of everyday goods. I mean the stock market and
kay has grown leaps and bounds, but yeah, when And
that is the big problem right now, to be honest
for the Republicans and Trump, is that the cost of
things now inflation his you know, his which was that

(00:36):
twenty one and a half percent under Biden, gasoline rose
to like thirty one percent. So he's brought inflation down,
but still the cost of things is still high for
the average Americans.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
So their problem. And that's I mean, the Trump.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Administration must get this under control by the midterms next
year or it ain't going to be pretty. But it's
got to be. How can we bring the price of
things down? I don't know how you do it. Maybe
our next guest knows.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Well he can speak to this. He is Steve Cotton. Steve,
how you doing.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Buddy, Well, good afternoon, gentlemen.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
I'm doing great, good good.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
So, Steve, I guess you know kind of what I
had said there. I think inflation has has settled back down.
And of course Trump he campaigned on this, and he
succeeded in bringing gas price I mean to me, that's
the number one thing you do if you want to
bring the price of things down, which is decrease the
amount of cost to transport things from A to b.
He was able to, you know, kind of get get

(01:34):
gas prices back under control.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
They're under three dollars a gallon right now, so that
has helped.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
But in terms of actually bringing just the actual cost
of items down, what can be done here?

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Well, you're exactly right when you lower the price of energy.
You know, petroleum products are used in so much of
what we manufacture every day. They're almost in everything. And
the greatest anti inflation measure you can take is to
lower the cost of energy. And the Trump administration has
worked to try to do that very diligently, and he's

(02:11):
mainly doing that through growing production. That's how we did
it before. But there are some elements of inflation that
are more complicated. Take housing, for example. Housing is largely
a market specific dynamic, and it's a dynamic that's sort
of driven by supply and demand, and it's also impacted

(02:34):
by long term mortgage interest rates and not something the
administration can necessarily exert a lot of control over. That's
a very local, real estate oriented kind of thing. It
was said for a long time that the tariffs are
going to inevitably have to be inflationary, but they haven't
been so far for the most part. So I think

(02:58):
there are some areas where the administration can continue to
take anti inflation actions, and there are other areas that
they're not going to have any influence over at all.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Steve Conn's our guests, and Steve, if you brought up
the tariffs and now it's before the Supreme Court, what
do you see happening here? Because there is obviously that's
very contentious one both sides of lay out right now.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
It's a very big deal. Frankly, I think it could
go either way. The President has quoted his authority under AEPA,
which was a Nixon era law that granted the president
significant trade authority, especially in times of emergencies, and President

(03:40):
Trump has defined emergency as a forty year crisis where
our trading partners have imposed huge tariffs on our goods
and huge non tariff barriers to our market entry in
their markets been a grossly unfair system for forty years.
Trump is trying to he's justifying his action on tariffs

(04:05):
because of this forty year imbalance against us in the
favor of our trading partners. If the Supreme Court rules
that Trump exceeded his authority granted by Congress, it will
create huge chaos. And people have already started speculating, well,
does this mean that the importers will get refunds if

(04:28):
the tariffs are ruled unconstitutional? That is going to be
two hundred billion dollar mess if that happens.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Now, see, isn't there I was reading a nineteen seventy
seven court case that you know pretty much says, look
that the president does have the power to impose tariffs.
Now does that mean in every way, shape or form
Donald Trump's trying to do it, but it largely grants
him the ability to do that.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Correct?

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Well, that's that's what's being because you can read the
statue one way that says that the Congress granted the
president some fairly broad authority to regulate commerce, and the
plaintiffs are arguing that it did not give the president
specific authority to levy arbitrary tariffs. If the Supreme Court

(05:23):
rules in the President's favor, it will reinforce his leverage
in trying to bring the bear, you know, our trading
partners to a more fair trading regime. I can see
the Court doing that, But they have also made rulings
against the executive branch and the unappointed or the unelected

(05:47):
federal bureocracy in regulatory cases. So I think it's fifty
to fifty as to which way the Court goes. But
if they rule against the President, it will create tremendous
chaos and it will cut his legs out from under
him in terms of the leverage he's trying to use
to achieve a more fare trading regime worldwide.

Speaker 6 (06:11):
See.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
I just don't know what else Trump really can do.
I mean, Biden presidency was such a disaster, probably the
second worst president in history behind James you can, right,
you know, with inflation and prices and we're not even
getting into immigration all that.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
But just the economy.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
But again, if people are charging X for something, and
enough people are buying and are paying that price, no
matter how large or massive it may.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Be, I don't know what you can do.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
So I think again, the two options he has are
lower gas prices, which he absolutely has done, and I
think he sees tariffs as a way to be able
to do something. There's no way you can impose your
will on the economy. This is at least not yet.
We're not in a socialist, communist country where you can
just go in and say, hey, John Q store, you

(07:00):
are now going to charge two dollars for apples instead
of six dollars. That's not the way it works. So
I at least give Trump credit for trying.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
Right.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Do I know that tariffs are gonna work?

Speaker 7 (07:13):
No?

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Do I think the logic is sound.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yes, go over to China, Japan, how even Europe and
count how many American made cars you see. Count how
many Fords and Chevies you see over there? You won't
see any of them. And a lot of that has
to do because of trade and balance, So that the
logic is sound.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
But it's it's right.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
See, it's such a complex issue and very reactionary that
I guess we don't really know at this point if
it's gonna work. And now I guess we don't know
if the court's going to even allow it.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Well, I don't think anybody knows how this court is
going to rule on this particular case. You know, when
you look at tariffs, I use this example. There are
some tariffs that are that are definitely inflationary, and there
are other tariffs that that may not be. For example,
and if I go to the store and I want
to buy my favorite Irish whiskey and I find that

(08:04):
it's now ninety eight dollars a barrel instead of a bottle,
instead of forty eight dollars a bottle, then I'll just
buy good Kentucky whiskey instead. However, he put fifty percent
tariff on copper. We only we only mind about fifty

(08:24):
percent of our national need for copper, and we have
to import the other fifty percent. That is not something
we can fix in a short period of time. Therefore,
you know, copper's used in housing all kinds of things. Therefore,
that kind of a tariff can't help but be inflationary
at some point. But so there's not one uniform economic

(08:45):
impact to all tariff actions. It's very country specific, very
commodity specific. But if the court rules against the President
on this one, it's going to create a massive amount
of chaos in trade. Polo. See, our trading partners aren't
going to know what to think, our businesses aren't going
to know what to think, our importers aren't going to

(09:07):
know what to think. And this issue of refunds is
going to be a real mess. So I hope that
the court will rule in the executive Bench's favor, but
I just don't think the road's clear yet. We had
some questions from some of the justices yesterday that made
some people think that the court might be leaning against

(09:29):
supporting the president's position. But we'll see.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
All Right, we're talking to Steve Cott and your financial strategist.
You're an expert in these matters, Steve, let's shove the
tariffs society for the time being. And what we were
talking about, in the famous words of James Carvel, with Clinton,
it's the economy stupid, And that's what's going on right now.
In your mind in the short term, what can the administration,

(09:55):
what can government do to help the situation?

Speaker 4 (09:59):
Well, this administration is trying to reduce the scope of
regulatory impact that can reduce costs. They're trying to drive
down oil prices, which they are succeeding in doing that
will definitely drive down costs. But like I said, in
places like real estate markets, they just don't have a

(10:20):
lot of leverage because real estate is a local and
a regional thing. In New York, Mom, Donnie may very
well try rent controls to drive down artificially the cost
of housing. Well, I can tell you right now that's
going to result in a scarcity of housing. And so

(10:41):
do you want expensive housing or no housing? And we're
getting ready to experiment with socialism, and it's not like
we don't have global evidence of what socialistic approaches to
the economy yield. They generally yield very poor, if not
bad results. So I think our librarily arbitrary government action

(11:02):
to force down prices is almost always a failure. It
almost has always has bad consequences, has ripple effects, it
has unintended consequences. And only through a free and competitive
market are you going to get competitive you know, pricing
and competitive options. So I think adherence to the free

(11:25):
enterprise system and getting back to fundamentals as to supply
and demand and those kinds of things, that's the only
way you're going to drive costs down. Through expanded supply,
and you don't do it through socialist solutions.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
See I'm not wishing for this, but I mean it
is the only way for prices because of where they
are now and how we've gotten here. The only way
for things to go back down is a recession. Again,
not wishing for that, don't want that, but is that
is that kind of the only thing that possibly maybe
out there to bring prices down?

Speaker 4 (11:59):
Well, recession as a result of slow business activity. I
don't see the elements of an impending economic recession. The
economy is fairly stable, it's fairly positive. Corporate profits are
still pretty good. Inflation is more of a market by

(12:21):
market kind of problem. You look at the price of eggs,
price of gas. It's different different parts of the country.
There are areas like New York City, for example, that
have had terrible public policies for years that have resulted
in high costs, and a lot of that's regulation, a

(12:41):
lot of that's limited supply, and there's little the administration
can do to affect that. But we may very well
be getting ready to see in a place like New
York with the very first communist I mean literally communist
mayor in the entire country they may be getting ready
to experiment with cost controls and things and they're not

(13:03):
going to like the outcome.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
All right, well that's Steve. We'll let you go. People
want to find out more about you. Where can they go?

Speaker 4 (13:10):
Well, we have clients all over the country. Our website
is Cotton c O T t O n wm A
dot com, COTTONWMA dot com. And we're financial strategists and
money managers and we're very cautious with our clients money.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
All right, Steve, Steve, with that, will let you go, Buddy,
thanks so much.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
Well, thanks for having me. It's an honor to be
on the show.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Thanks.

Speaker 8 (13:34):
Right.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
With that, we head to traffic and weather. What's going on.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
All right, back with Eddie and Rocky. So I saw
this and this is fascinating to me.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
We're always talking about you know technology and AI and
how in ways it's making things better. But boy, in
some ways it's getting very invasive. And the question is
do you care? Right if do you care that your
phone knows where you are and tracks you and knows
if you went to that store, that store, you know,
all those things.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Some people don't, some people do.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Here's one that I think anybody would be a little
weary of. So I don't know if you have the app.
It's called the Open Table app. I don't have it,
but I know what it is.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
You know, it's like.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
I've used it, but I don't think it's on my phone.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
So I think a lot of restaurants they get together
and so you could be right here. You you know,
you're you're from out of town, You're roll into Cincinnati
and like, I need somewhere to eat. So you're opening
your open Table app and you can get some reviews
and then you can make a reservation. Boom boom boom.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Well this I don't call it a.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Whistleblower, but somebody on on the social channels came out
and basically said that that the these the restaurants through
the Open Table app are getting AI generated summaries of
customer behavior. So they will go in there and ved

(16:18):
Fingers goes over to Cooper's Hawk. They will know that
you your normal bill is you spend about one hundred
and thirty nine dollars.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
You you like the.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Uh dice label red murlow okay, and and you normally
order the fish with the and you will normally stay
for thirty seven minutes.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Like it's pretty wild.

Speaker 9 (16:43):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Like so they track everything they know again and and
that way. But think about that before you sit down.
A waiter waitress knows this guy ain't gonna order very
much and he's not gonna tip me good, so so
hell of him, you know, or hey, this guy normally
spends a lot. Let's see if we can pile it
on you know, you know what I mean. I just

(17:05):
think that's pretty that's pretty invasive, right, like that that's
a lot of your information. It also will tag you
as a late canceler if you're someone who, at the
last minute, you make your reservations on a Tuesday and
then Thursday rolls around, Uh, you know an hour before
I you can't, right, they know that information on you.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Oh that's see that just that kills me. Well, I
think it wasn't through open table. But one time, and
I won't say the restaurant, but DEB called there and
we were we were just going to have early dinner
and I was like, I'll take you someplace nice. She

(17:50):
called the place and said okay, and we when we
go there, we like to sit it a specific booth
and the lady was like, yeah, we got that, we'll
reserve it for you.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
So we U.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
We show up there and there are people sitting at
our booth and so she's so the lady's gun, well,
you know, we do have other tables, like, well, see,
you said you were going to reserve that one for us,
but there are people sitting there, and she said, well,
this is my problem, right, and and they were like, well,

(18:30):
don't want to tell you, and so were I. So
just don't sure principle, I was like we audios yep, Yeah,
I mean that's just crazy. There must be punishments for.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Behavior, you know, And that's I could go and use
that analogy for practically many things in life.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
But yeah, well that's a topic. So'm just like, when
have you been egregiously gone into a breast drawn into
a service situation and have somebody just go, don't know what.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
To tell you, ain't got for you, and oppose open
table detailed It's guest intelligence features featurescribed, you know, again
all the things that this person had had laid out.
Guest Intelligence provides restaurants with complete picture of their guests
dining habits both within their restaurant and a costly open

(19:25):
table network. So you may walk into a chicken place, okay, sure,
and they will know We'll ed you know, nine times
out of ten he goes out to eat, he orders fish,
so you know they can go and again, maybe you
see it's a good thing, but I don't. I just
think that's a little too much.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
I totally agree with you.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
I mean, at what point do they know how much
money you make in a year? You know where you work,
and you know how.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Much is too much?

Speaker 1 (19:56):
They have a profile of you, for sure, I would
assume that looking at stuff like that, they can more
or less coalesce a profile of who you are, not
to the to the dollar and all that stuff, but
more or less you were general, you're your position in
the strata.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
Right yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Ed Fingers normally comes in with his wife. His average
bill was one hundred and thirty seven dollars. He normally
spends an hour and fifteen the restaurant.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Wine likes fish, wife like steak, whatever the case might be.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
Sure they got it.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
And again, I guess some people could look at that
as convenient. Well, that way they know what I want
and I don't have to.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
But it's like sotheast something. It's right.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
See, I like going into a place. It's one thing
when you go into a place you've been in a
million times before and the waitress or waiter whoever, recognizing
and going, oh the usual, yeah, and they bring you
a couple of whatever Budweiser drafts and some chicken wings
and are you gonna have burgers again?

Speaker 3 (21:05):
And you know what I like? Thanks?

Speaker 6 (21:06):
Man.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
That's one thing when a machine knows it, that's spooky.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Well, and when it knows it again across all avenues
where you could go to a restaurant in Seattle and
Vancouver walk in there and go, hey, ed the normal
Budweisers and fishing shows you who Because then it's like,
you know, at what point does it does it stop?

Speaker 3 (21:29):
At what point do they know?

Speaker 6 (21:31):
You know?

Speaker 2 (21:33):
But before you came to the restaurant, where were you?
And how does that play into and then you plug
it in the algorithm and it's all designed to find
ways to get more of your money.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
That's what it's all about.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
And it's getting I guess what I'm saying is it's
getting pretty smart at figuring out how to do that well.
And then some would be like, well if we get
ed you know, a tall GLASSO are low in before
you orders?

Speaker 3 (21:57):
Now he's liable to spend another.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Your usual mister fingers, why thank you? But yeah, well
how soon before it goes?

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Not here with your wife? Eh, I'm not sure what
you drink?

Speaker 5 (22:15):
What are you have?

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Or even worse when you and your wife walk in
and uh some mister fingers, how come Stephanie's not with
you today?

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Correct? And now you know now we're how we're upper
creek all right a little bit?

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Well yeah, we'll Brittany be joining you tonight. I will
tell this story when I was a single man. This
is hey, you know, I know you love these stories.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
By the way, listeners, you can't see him, but I can.
Like he's got that far off gaze. He's kind of
looking looking out like through the wall and into that wonderful,
wonderful time.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
It's so long ago, through the distant fog, through the
haze of.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
Life, there's a there's a sparkle I've not seen a
while though.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Uh, there was a I used to like to when
I in my dating days, I would I like to
take a lady to Keenland and spend the night in Lexington.
I love Lexington, some beautiful town.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
And there was one restaurant that I always went to.
So after a while, this waiter that always waited on
me recognized that I tended to be with these different women.
And I'm not talking about fifty I'm talking about maybe
a half a dozen over the course of you know,
to Keenland sessions. And he pretended that he had never

(23:41):
met me before a soldier. That's what I said. I mean,
I finally was your first your first time in here?
I would have like he would kind of like, give
me a guy half a smile ago your first time here.
I'm like, absolutely, what's good?

Speaker 3 (24:00):
And uh, that's great.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
And I was walking into the bathroom and I could
I forget if he was coming out or whatever, and
I go, Bro, you're doing me a solid here he goes,
what am I supposed to say?

Speaker 3 (24:15):
How you been?

Speaker 4 (24:18):
See?

Speaker 9 (24:19):
Bro?

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Code man right. Good for him with that.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
And I've told my wife about that before and she
was like, well, I was like, don't worry about it.
I wasn't going out with you. Then I probably lied,
but yeah, I started thinking back, Wait a minute, Uh
with that, we check in with traffic and weather.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
What's going on.

Speaker 8 (24:38):
I bet the missus just loves when you reminisce.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah, she knows that so far. In the rear views,
he did like, you know, I'm just and as far
as she's concerned, I'm so old. Now I might just
be making that up. Oh God, bless his heart. Let
him believe that it's cute.

For the hour, we're going to be talking to our
good friend PJ. Street, as we do every Thursday at.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Four Yes, and the topic here is going to be,
you know, the the five dumbest things you can do
in the gym after age forty And as I told
him this morning, I'm excited about this topic because it's
likely I do at least three of them.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
The dumbest thing I do is not go there you go.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
You ever known anybody add that like has like a
a really long name, you know, it has like a
bunch of really why am I thinking of that councilwoman
John Pierre lemon Kearney or whatever her name is four names? Yeah,
I always And I like for football games, you know,
you're you know, you got your depth chart and you're
calling names and there's I feel like it's died down now,

(27:30):
but there was a time when like there's a lot
seems like a lot of players had hyphenated does and
it would be like you know, the it's like their
mom's last name and then dad comes back so they
get the But anyway, it was always likes just hard
to say, you know, tackle by Joe Anderson Woodson. You know,
it's like no like one of them, right because it's

(27:52):
brevity is is better?

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Anyway?

Speaker 9 (27:54):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
There is a man in Australia and this is a record,
by the way, but I do not like this record.
He holds the Guinness World Record for having the world's
longest name. God now he goes by Lawrence Watkins. Okay,
but Lawrence also has two thousand, two hundred and fifty
one other unique words in his name, so it's two

(28:19):
two hundred and fifty three words all together.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Now, now how long was that?

Speaker 4 (28:24):
So?

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Lawrence Wolkens didn't always have the record for the world's
longest name, but he decided to legally change his name in
March nineteen ninety.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
He added a few.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Thousand words to it, and he's owned the record by
by a mile for a long time.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
When he had to read his full name like on camera,
and when he did it took him like an hour
to do so to go through all his words, it's goofy.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Much more.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Lawrence told some publication that when he got it, took
the officiant twenty minutes to read the name.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Again.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Somehow it took him three times that span to read
it himself, as I just mentioned. So maybe he just
doesn't know. Very likely he doesn't know. His whole entire
name costs several hundred dollars just to get somebody to
type up all that and add that to his official record.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Well, how does that happen?

Speaker 2 (29:31):
I guess anything with the power a little bit of
money and some weird curiosity to become the Guinness World
Record Order for the longest name.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
So that's the only reason he did it, was that
he could have the world's record for that. Like, okay,
you've got the world's record for the dumbest world's record.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
How about that?

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yeah, congrant, Yeah, I was saying, like this is pretty dumb,
you know.

Speaker 12 (29:53):
Now.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
Also, there's you know, fastest one hundred meters sprint while
juggling and walking a penguin, you know.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Like there's that kind of stuff to have one hundred
meter dash and high heels and that's.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Well, yeah, with a flaming arrow or walking on your hand.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
I'm no, see that's a little more impressive than having
a really long name.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
Yeah, at least it's something there. Doing something.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
This is you're not doing anything other than wasting a
lot of time going to the public records place and
jotting all these names down. So you should have to,
like they should make it order. Okay, you want to
add to your name officially or you have to without
looking down at a piece of paper. You have to
recite shit, and I should at least keep it to

(30:47):
about you know, fifteen words.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Max.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
See, I'm I don't know with the with the hyphen
it names and stuff, I don't get it. Pick a side.
I mean, if you're, if you're, if you're a woman
and you're mayor, and a guy.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
Take it.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
If you don't want to take his name, fine, then
just you know, keep calling yourself Donna Johnson, whatever the
might be, Donna Johnson, hyphen Schmidt.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
I don't put one. Take a throw a line in
the sand.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
You know, it seems easy to me, but hey, look,
why doesn't think John John Lennon famously it became John
Ono Lennon.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
Yeah that's a fact. That's that's a crosser there, dude.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
You all you didn't know that, Yeah you did officially
That's what happens when a harlot uh.

And the worst part about all this, You're talking about
a guy that could have probably any woman in the
world with with you know, his genius and all that.
She is about a three And that's being generous. I
can see if it was Bridget bardow Right or sure whatever,
some one of the hottest women on the planet, you
can say, Okay, I can see how this guy could

(32:26):
just be totally enabored, fascinated, lose his mind over the
sheer power of this woman, not her kids.

This report is sponsored by Miami Valley Gaming. Good to
Miami Valley Gaming December twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Topic is you know the five dumbest things you can
do in the gym after age forty. And as I
told you this morning and Ed just a second ago,
I probably do three of them.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
So save me, help save the folks you want to
try state.

Speaker 15 (38:02):
You know, I was looking through the list and I
think you're okay. I don't think you're doing any of
these things. Well maybe one of them, but we'll get
into that. But yeah, and I want to start with
this one. And it's something that Eddie mentioned ten minutes ago.
I was listening to you guys. The number one mistake
people over forty you make in terms of going to

(38:22):
the gym is not going to the gym right at all, right,
or if they do go to the gym, it's very
inconsistent and they're not following any type of real plan.
They're just kind of relying on their vibes that day.
They're just kind of wandering around doing whatever feels.

Speaker 5 (38:38):
Good that day.

Speaker 15 (38:40):
Usually for guys, it's a couple sets of bicep curls
and bench press, maybe a little bit of a work.
So really that's the main problem is just not being
consistent with going to the gym, not going to the
gym at all, or if you are going to the gym,
not having any real plan, right, so you need structure
to see results. You know, actually, after forty, when you

(39:02):
know your hormones, your recovery, and your time are limited,
random training is going to yield random results. So you know,
you wouldn't invest your money guys, you know, in retirement
without a plan.

Speaker 5 (39:13):
So you don't really want to train with with without a.

Speaker 15 (39:16):
Plan either, So you really need to follow a structured program.
I would not change your workouts any more frequently than
about four or six, maybe even eight weeks. You need
to focus on progressive overload, meaning you're trying to add
reps using the same weight or you're trying to use
a little bit more weight for the same reps. That

(39:37):
means tracking your lifts, taking adequate rest periods, et cetera.
So you know, if you're over forty, you really do
need a structured plan.

Speaker 5 (39:46):
Not motivation.

Speaker 15 (39:47):
Motivation fades, but structure always works. So rock I know
you train consistently. You're good on that one, okay, yes, yes,
the second biggest one I see and again for men,
they're skipping leg day or they're they're doing it wrong.
You know, avoiding leg training is a common thing for

(40:08):
guys because it's trending your legs sucks, it's hard, or
they'll justify it and say, well, you know, I walk
a lot of it on the treadmill here and there,
and you know, my legs are fine. But but the
reality is your legs and your hips are your foundation.
So if you neglect them, everything else kind of kind
of you know, kind of falls apart. Strong legs equals

(40:30):
better balance, better coordination, uh, you know, greater longevity, you know,
and cardio doesn't doesn't count. Cardio is great for specific
things and specific benefits, but you need to put some
resistance on those muscles, in on your joints.

Speaker 5 (40:43):
So and you know, and.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
I've seen some studies recently and not so recently about
the correlation between longevity and in legs, mortality and mortal Yeah, exactly, yeah,
mortality and leg strength. So yeah, that's certainly. I mean,
if you just you just do one one lower body actors,
what would you do some sort of of a squat,

(41:05):
a leg press, leg press or I would say hack squad,
But probably for most people, leg press is gonna be
the the.

Speaker 5 (41:13):
Better, safer option, more stable option.

Speaker 16 (41:16):
You know.

Speaker 15 (41:16):
Barbell squatting, as you know, rock takes a lot of
it's very technique dependent.

Speaker 5 (41:21):
Yeah, neither do I.

Speaker 15 (41:23):
But but you do need to train your legs at
least once a week for sure, so you know, you
need to focus on on full range of motion. You know,
you can't have longevity, longevity without chicken legs or with
chicken legs, chicken legs and tight hips.

Speaker 5 (41:37):
So never skip leg day.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
Let me ask you what about band training using those
big rubber band things. Is that more about flexibility or
that is that strength enticing as well?

Speaker 15 (41:53):
The problem with that, Eddie is that it's because you
know a lot of people have like you know, some
dumbbells and some resistance bands their house, right. The problem
with band training is it it's very hard to quantify.
You don't really know how much weight you're using or
how much resistance you're getting.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
It's hard to progress that progress.

Speaker 15 (42:10):
Yeah, I mean, well you can you just keep doing
more wraps, but that you know that reaches the point
of diminishing returns as well. You know, you know, band
training is fine, but again I want to be able
to quantify things, I you know, and and load things
up and progress it. So and number three here, guys,
again particularly for men, over forty. Ego lifting, you know,

(42:32):
they're they're trying to lift what they used to lift
in high school. You know, it's like every Christmas season,
I'll go to Christmas parties and I run into the
guy that used to bench four oh five when he
was twenty two and used to run a four or
five forty and all that stuff, and now they're, you know,
eighty pounds overweight with a with a forty inch waist
and so and a lot of these people that they'll

(42:54):
go back into the gym and they'll load up the
bar and again, rock you just mentioned it.

Speaker 5 (42:57):
They're going to bench press, They're going to try to
do barbells.

Speaker 15 (43:00):
It's something that they were doing in their twenties and thirties,
but they haven't trained consistently in ten years and they
just end up getting hurt. So, you know, strength after
forty comes from consistency, not trying to be a hero
and doing hero lifts, because I don't know, you guys
probably can relate. You get injured over forty, and you know,
now it takes weeks or months to heal in not days.

(43:22):
You know, if you get banged up when you're in
your twenties, it's a different story. But you know, if
you end up getting hurt in the gym in your forties,
it's gonna take a while.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
That That is the thing PJ that I have I
would say struggled the most with, because I do have
an ego right of about you know, they're wanting to
be strong and what everybody does. The song said, hey,
I used to be able to do this and and
but but yeah, I have found that exactly what you
just said. You get hurt, and you get hurt for
much longer than you used to.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
You know, like, yeah, in.

Speaker 2 (43:53):
Your twenties, you get hurt a little bit and okay, yeah,
you know you benched and your kind of your peck
hurts a little bit, but okay, by tweaking your shoulder,
yeah yeah, by next Monday, you're good that that that
no longer happens. So I have I have constantly had
to like have both my voice and your voice in
my head of saying, look, if some don't feel right,
just drop it and come back to it two days later,

(44:14):
and and and don't get the first injury because it's
gonna set you back and I'll be miserable.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
Well, you're the same guy has told me though, like
I'm up to three oh five this squad.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Yeah, I know, again, this is the balance. I'm trying
to do things. But look, you gotta you gotta go
in there and push yourself, you know, and you gotta
have some some goals. But yes, it's it's walking that
line of you know, uh and what you know in
the maximums or are that point of uh injury or success?

Speaker 13 (44:48):
You know?

Speaker 2 (44:48):
And but yeah, I guess you got to realize that
the bigger picture. And I'm I'm steadily learning that.

Speaker 15 (44:55):
Yeah, because you know, if you if you if you're
going in the gym and you're kind of doing like
half reps to use heavier weight or the forms just
really atrocious. All you're doing there is wrecking your joints
and tendons and you're not wrecking your muscles the way
that you think you are. So you know, if you're
constantly rehabbing an injury, it's kind of hard to get fit.
So you need to check the ego at the door,

(45:16):
control the weight through a full range of motion, and
just build up volume gradually before you chase the personal records.
And again this kind of goes hand in handed with
ego lifting. If you want to make ego lifting even worse,
don't warm warm up at all. I see too many
people born in the gym and they're skipping their warm ups.

(45:37):
You know, they walk in cold and they jump.

Speaker 5 (45:39):
What do they do?

Speaker 15 (45:40):
They jump right into the squad racker and at the
bench press unit and they start loading on plates. And
that's usually a recipe for disaster. You know, your joints
and your tendons and your muscles don't like as I
just said before, they don't respond the same weight at
forty five as they did at twenty five.

Speaker 5 (45:56):
So a solid warm up is.

Speaker 15 (45:58):
Going to increase blood flow, it's going to lubricate your joints,
it's going to get your your your mental focus locked in,
and it's just going to prepare your overall nervous system
for the for the hard weight that's coming.

Speaker 5 (46:09):
So you know, taking five.

Speaker 15 (46:10):
Minutes to raise your heart rate a little bit and
then doing some dynamic stretching real quick, and then you know,
two or three light sets of your first exercise before
you get into the real weight.

Speaker 5 (46:21):
Highly highly recommended.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
Yeah, And that's the because I when I was going
to the gym, I definitely caught myself doing that. But again,
I was a much younger guy, and it was like, Okay,
I've only got so much time here. I'm not going
to spend a lot of time warming up. Just get
in here, stretch a little bit, blah blah blah, bend over,
you know, stretch my legs, da da da da da
hands overhead.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
All right, I'm ready.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
When same thing. But now the problem is it takes
longer to warm up. So it's like I got the order,
you get an hour to lift.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
Take twenty minutes to warm up, but that's kind of
what it takes. But man, when I was playing, especially PJ,
we would all sit around and be like, could somebody
just invent a stretch pill? Like a pill you just
take and I would pay whatever it costs right where
you just took it and you were immediately warmed up
to your absolute maximum.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
But it don't work that way.

Speaker 5 (47:12):
Yeah, no, it doesn't at all.

Speaker 15 (47:15):
And my final one, Guy's fifth biggest mistake you're making
in the gym over forty. I see too many people
chasing like sweat instead of strength, So they're thinking the
more I sweat, the higher my heart rate gets, the
better the workout. That's really not the case. You know,
you see a lot you see the popularity of these

(47:36):
high intensity circuit classes and boot camps and people doing burpies,
and they want to feel destroyed at the end of
the workout. That doesn't necessarily equal progress. Again, you need
to train hard, you need to train progressively, but you
need to train intelligently and safely as well. Over forty bodies, again,
they just don't recover like they used to. So progress

(47:58):
again comes from progressive over load and not just exhaustion.
So the fix here is you want to focus on
quality wraps, quality sets, a controlled tempo. You want to
recover enough between your sets. You know you need to
use cardios strategically and not as punishment, right, You lift
weights for muscle, you walk or do Zone two cardio

(48:20):
for heart health. It's really that that cut and dry.
So if you want to sweat, wear a hoodie, if
you want to look and feel better, lift intelligently.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
Yeah, that's uh. You guys are encouraging me to get
back in the gym. Ain't gonna lift like I used to.
I know that I already recognize that fact, but I
gotta do.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
Status strength train man gotta yeah.

Speaker 5 (48:41):
Yeah, yeah, I'll set you up, Eddie.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
I'm gonna have to go the Keith Richards round and
get a complete blood transfusion at the blood of a
you know, eighteen year old German boy and go in
there and just kick some ass with that. We will
let you go, buddy. Uh, people want to find out more.
Where can they go?

Speaker 15 (49:05):

online coaching program gives you the plan, the structure, the
accountability to finally make progress again. It's under four dollars

Speaker 5 (49:20):
All right, buddy, thanks, thanks fellas.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
You so now you were just talking about in your
in your playing days, what was the best workout situation
you were ever in as far as any team high
school through pros was and what was the worst you mean,
like facilities or what the strength was, the regiment that
would people will be up your butt if you weren't,

(49:44):
if you weren't training, or a team where people are
like yeah, amen, it's up to you.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
I mean my strength coaching college was Mickey Muradi and
he's he's a high of state strength coach. He's been
the Ohigo State strength coach for fifteen years. One of
the best ever, like nobs, one of the best ever
in the business. I mean innovative, you know, just in
terms of, you know, setting the standard of how modern

(50:10):
strength training and strength development program speed development programs are done.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Period.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
So you wanna talk about one of the biggest blessings
in my life was getting the opportunity to to be.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
Taught by him. So Notre Dame. That was one.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
There's also this guy named doctor Ken Leisner. Okay, everybody
look him up. He was just he was a like
a chiropractor and a bunch of other things.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
We lived in New York.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
At one point I had like long hair tattoos all
over him. But like I got like a doctor, like
a smart guy, absolute insane person. And he is like
the father of what's called HIT high intensity training, where
like taking you to a place like like working out,
to a place where people think they're they're working out hard, No,

(50:58):
like getting you to a place like otherworldly of like
absolutely just destruction of what your your muscle rops. Right,
But I mean, and so there was over a two
year period I went up and lived with him in
his attic all right in New York, and we would
just train and eat and.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
Watch old football. It was awesome.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
But I mean, that was probably the strongest ever been.
I did a single a standing shoulder press of two
eighty five.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
That was That was one of the strongest I've been.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
I did three point fifteen for twenty six straight squad wraps.
I'm talking ash to the ground, like real squats. I
was strong, real strong. But yea, I would just go
just to live with this guy for I mean he was,
I mean just an amazing, eccentric, most awesome guy you've
ever made. He died a few years ago, like very

(51:50):

Speaker 5 (53:36):
Be best for us to discuss some strong medications. This
report is sponsored by One Hour Heating and Airkenditioning. As
TEMs begin to drop.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
And again, you don't hear the conversations off the air now.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
So we're always talking about famous memorabilia, right, Well, one
of the more recent ones is was a Game three
of the World Series this year one of the greatest
or Game four. Shohtani puts on maybe one of the
greatest athletic performances of all time in any sport.

Speaker 9 (54:16):
Right.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
He gives up no runs, yeah allowed, just yeah, two
hits and six innings on the mound, struck out ten
and then goes three for three with a walk and
three home runs. But one of the home runs he
hit was over the centerfield wall. I think it was
the second one. Four hundred and sixty nine feet. I
mean they already put up plack up of it, you

(54:39):
know October seventeenth, twenty twenty five, show of tiny four
and sixty nine feet. Well, of course you know there's
you know, obviously something that people would want. Well, there's
this guy. His name is Carlo Mendoza. He's standing at
the like the Nacho line in center field. We're like
way out, We're like, you would never think of a ball?

(54:59):
Could it out there?

Speaker 4 (55:00):
Right?

Speaker 2 (55:00):
All of a sudden, boom, here comes the ball. He
finds it, all right, he grabs it. Now he doesn't
there's no video of him, so, you know, so it's
kind of one of those deals. But he obviously wants
to sell it because this is a very very valuable ball.
Well he long stow short. He goes through the channels,

(55:22):
gets affiliated with SCP Auctions. They put the ball on
sale with a starting bit of two hundred thousand. Okay,
but that's not even really the whole story with it.
Okay again, because there's no video of him, of the
ball landing in him getting it. SCP Auctions head Mendoza
write a notarized affidavit and undergo a polygraph test, which

(55:47):
he passed. Wow, okay, and now that allowed this historic
show Heyotani ball to go verified on the auction site.
So yeah, the ain't messing around.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
See I uh, I would love to find but one
of the chances. And I can't even imagine if that
had been in a place where it wasn't just except
for this fella kind of inaccessible. But we had to
you know, famous Phillies Karen there in the fighting over

(56:23):
balls and all that, because any that's where people poach
out there. Now there are people who just they just
buy tickets in the whatever whoever the potential record breaker
might be by left or right field bleacher seats in
hopes of catching this ball and quarter million dollars or.

Speaker 5 (56:43):
Whatever the case might be.

Speaker 1 (56:46):
Now I want to have the ball, and I really
I wanted. I've always wanted to talk to this person
because I was at a Reds game as the old
ballpark in Riverfront, and I was sitting in the left
field whatever the left field Reds looking down and I

(57:10):
see the high foul pop up and I'm looking and
I'm just you know, just one of those things. You're
watching it, and I track it down with my eyes
and I see some guy down in the blue level
walking out of the tunnel, standing there talking to a
beer vendor, waiting for his beer. And he's holding like

(57:33):
a big tray of it looked like hot dogs and
nachos and stuff, correct, waiting for a beer, and that
pop up and I watched it and just goes and
I mean literally went straight through that tray and you
get even from that far away, I could just see
that food.

Speaker 4 (57:52):
Go.

Speaker 3 (57:56):
Dude, sorry about your luck.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
Man, Yes, that's funny. So you want that's the ball
you want? You'll probably get a decent price on that.
That's what will I found that guy. I definitely want it.
If you get like a still shot of like like
the whole trade just exploding.

Speaker 3 (58:13):
Right, that'd be funny. That would be what That'd be
an ald timer.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
I'll tell you the one I thought you were going
to say when you mentioned Riverfront was.

Speaker 3 (58:22):
Uh when this was? Yeah, it was in nineteen ninety one.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Rob Dibble saved the game and for whatever reason, he
took a ball and chucked it like four hundred feet
into center field. I remember, I remember, I'll remember this,
and I guess it hits some lady up there. That'd
be because again that wouldn't like cost like you know,
millions of dollars or something, but that'd be like kind

(58:46):
of iconic.

Speaker 11 (58:48):
Yeah, that's there.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
I like to see. Look, Adam dunnas denied this happened.
I watched it happen. Okay, okay, it was it was
Opening day, or was if it wasn't Opening day. It
was right around Opening day and he came on the
Old Morning show before a game. It was a day game,

(59:11):
and I was going to the to the game that day.
And that's when you remember Susette Spencer was on the
show Former Penthouse Centerfold, and perhaps he was flirting with
her a little bit, and perhaps there was there was
She was adorable and we had go figure for some reason.

Speaker 3 (59:35):
We were drinking.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
Yeager Meister in the studio that day and real quick,
so let me just recount for folks that made not
of this. So show, it's a morning show, You're going
to a res game later at day, you have Adam
Dunn on and you're drinking Yeager Meiser with a playboy
playmate in the studio.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
Don't exaggeratedn't better?

Speaker 1 (59:56):
Right, But yeah, but anyways, he might have taken a
little bit and so I went to the game and
I'm sitting there and he was playing left field, and
we were sitting along the left field along the third
base line, and one of the first balls hit was
to left field. He runs in about ten steps on

(01:00:17):
and it goes about fifteen feet over his head. And
I don't know if they if there was the effects
of the Yeggertmeister.

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
Perhaps it wasn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Was, but it was a blatantly missed foul ball, like
something never happened to a professional baseball player.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
Yeah, yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
It was worth it if you got Spencer's number. I
know what she looks like, by the way you showed
me pictures.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
I think she was a little tiny thing, right, I
keep a little brunette lady. Well, not what you think
of it. Let's put it this way. When I first
met her, I was meeting her for lunch and I
and I didn't what she what she looked like.

Speaker 3 (01:01:02):
I hadn't seen pictures of her or anything.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
And uh so I'm We're meeting at this restaurant and
I'm walking in and she's pulling in and she says,
uh she rolls down her window and says, hey, are
you Eddie? And I said yeah, and I think it's
like a friend of my wife's or something, because she's cute.

(01:01:28):
She doesn't look like a centerfold, right yeah, right, a
very nice looking girl, and I think she is somebody.
I was like, yeah, I am how are you? How
do I know you? She goes, oh, no, I'm Suzette
and I was like, huh huh, not what I expect.
But super nice lady. We got along with she. We

(01:01:51):
always had a blast on the show.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
How long now? What was her? Was she there like
every day for.

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
A while or she was on the show for how
long a couple of years?

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Was it a couple of years? Really think so, yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
It all runs together, man, right, liked listening to it,
but I remember times where she was there and not there.
I didn't know if it was a okay.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Now, she believe me.

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
I gave her a lot of grief, but she was
a sweetheart and she knew I was teasing her.

Speaker 3 (01:02:24):
But we had a good time.

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
Let's talk to Paul and Brookville. Hey, Paul, what do
you got We're talking about collectible baseballs here?

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
What do you have?

Speaker 9 (01:02:34):
Oh? Okay, because I just was in the car and
it just cut the last half of when you were
talking about the one with the guy of the two
hundred thousand dollars and having to take the liet detect
her tests.

Speaker 4 (01:02:44):
So I got to.

Speaker 9 (01:02:45):
The house here and here I am, and I thought, well,
I'm going to give you guys a call. And it's
my father who passed away back in I think nineteen
twenty thirteen and his brother used to go to the
red Games here when, of course in the earlier days,

(01:03:06):
and they ended up with this ball that had papers
signature on it, and it was in my father's top
Chester drawers for years. And I came along and put
in a couple of plastic bags, you know, and try
to make sure that when he would open the door
it wouldn't mess it up any further because it's si

(01:03:26):
the grass stains from when they used to use it
to play. And I guess they had the ball before. Yeah,
I can't remember whether they used the ball before the
signature or after or both. And then as the years
went by, I think my mother was in the hospital
was for some reason we were still playing, you know,
baseball in the yard that my grandfather had there, and

(01:03:51):
she was up there in the hospital and Klazuski was
in the hospital. So then the ball got Klazuski's signature
on it, and then later uh Benson and Rose were
added in.

Speaker 6 (01:04:04):
So and so.

Speaker 9 (01:04:05):
The ball is is no longer in our possession, possession
because my nephew he took it to.

Speaker 6 (01:04:12):
The Red Baseball Hall of Fame. I think it's it's got.

Speaker 4 (01:04:14):
I haven't been in there to see it, but it's got.

Speaker 9 (01:04:17):
It may have more signatures than that, but the main
one for years was Babe Ruths.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
See that's.

Speaker 5 (01:04:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
I well, you heard the famous story about Tom Browning's
kid the Nyl great Nyl pitch baseball from his perfect game.
His kid took it lost in the woods. They were
not playing ball with it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:43):
What a great story, though, you know what I mean,
what a great story.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
I think I told you the year just how long
ago this was. The Cincinnati Royals were still here in town,
and my brother this is a I shoot, it would
have been I'm not sure, around nineteen seventy or something whatever.
And so he came down to a Royals game with

(01:05:07):
his then girlfriend and they did the you know, the
seat thing they called the ticket numbers and you want
a prize? Yeah, but he wonted basketball, and so he
hung around. And that's when Pete Marrivitch played for the
they were playing the Atlanta Hawks, and that's when Marrivich
was planned for for the Hawks. And he was a

(01:05:29):
giant marriage guy from from being in college, and so
he got he gave it to a ball boy, took
it into the locker room. The whole Hawks team signed
Marrivich included, brought it home and you know, you think
you like shellacket or something, right, he played basketball with it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
Stupid, stupid, but again, what a great story.

Speaker 1 (01:06:01):
Rock In well other collectible news. I just saw this
the other day. I had to find it right quick.
This is Superman number one from nineteen thirty nine, the
holy Grail of collectibles. Yes, and I don't know how
they rate these things, but it's it's near near perfect.

(01:06:24):
I forget what they call it. It's not right there
in front of me.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
Like a nine out of ten or something.

Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
It's nine out of ten conditionwise. Try to imagine what
the current bid on it is. Ten million, No, not quite.
It's getting there. Two point eight five oh million dollars,

(01:06:50):
two million, eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars. So, but
it's but the bidding is open and their next minimum
bid a out is two ninety so whether they're targeting,
I think, uh, if you want to just go ahead
and buy the damn thing, it's three three million, four

(01:07:11):
hundred and twenty thousand, so you can just circumvent the
line and just pay your I just.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Feel like that would be if you had that amount
of money were that it wouldn't affect you if it
I mean, wouldn't affect your life if you didn't have it, right,
that would be a great investment.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
See, I have always said that. I tried to convince
my Michael.

Speaker 2 (01:07:32):
I mean, that's how the risk get richer, right, because
they have the disposal income to invest in something that
is pretty much a sure thing. There's not many sure
things out there. That's as as close as you can
get that. The Homeless Wagner Baseball card, the Mickey mant
A Rookie Card, Superman One, Dorothy's the Root Slippers.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
Yeah yeah, let's get to Rick and Alexandria, right quick,
Hey Rick, what do you have?

Speaker 4 (01:07:58):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (01:07:58):
Guys, Yeah, appreciate it. Take my call real quick. I
during Barry Bond's final season, it was early mid two thousand.
I can't remember the exact same year, the exact year.
But the guy who caught seven home run number seven thirty,
I was seating five seats away from me, so.

Speaker 5 (01:08:20):
It was five feet away and it was.

Speaker 6 (01:08:23):
It was again, it was the second, It was seven thirty.
It was kind of cool number. It's a second one
hitting history, right, second, seven hundred thirty, it's home run history.
It was an older dude, kind of a bigger, burly guy,
and everyone was asking to throw it back and I
remember he's like, no, no, So I thought that was

(01:08:44):
really cool. It's not Superman number one or that not ell.

Speaker 1 (01:08:48):
Is that one of those deals where they kind of
escorted the guy out of the out of the stadium
so nobody rolled it.

Speaker 6 (01:08:56):
Question, that's a good question. I don't remember, but but
I like, I tried to find highlights that I've even
tried to YouTube it to see it, you know, like
and google it Barry Bonds home run seven thirty. I
can't find any video, but it was.

Speaker 5 (01:09:13):
It was.

Speaker 6 (01:09:15):
It was neat though.

Speaker 5 (01:09:16):
I was.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
That's my like claim the same, right, and thanks, thanks,
That's that's kind of cool. Close to being a very
rich man. Close, yes, close, but no cigar with that.
We check in with traffic and weather, what is.

This report is sponsored by Breaks for Less. Breaks for Less.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
It's time to win some money. Bengals off this week,
but plenty of other NFL action I heard by. Was
favored by three, but we might not escape the buy
with a win.

Speaker 1 (01:11:05):
Let's talk to our fellow right here, who always comes
in a winner. Well, let's make sure our good friend
Jason Hoppin from The Inquirer Cincinnati dot com and Jace
did we cash last week?

Speaker 18 (01:11:21):
We did not, So we were down two units last
week thanks to the Bengals not covering the spread. And
you know what, though, the week before we were up
to units. So we're five hundred over the last two weeks.
And as always, betting on sports is a game of
march small margins, so.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
And it's it's about the long game, right, You can't
just think you hit and hit one and that's it.
It's it's a long haul here, long NFL season.

Speaker 1 (01:11:47):
So let me let me ask you. You let me
ask you. Because in Rock I don't know if you
pay attention to this, but in USA today every I
think it's Thursday, they have that they do it into
some kind of AI device, and that AI device is
like batt in about six fifty. Oh well, so I

(01:12:10):
don't know if that's the big the new thing with
the betting or not, but nonetheless, we're here as humans
to do it. So let's talk about it right now.
Tonight's game Raiders at Broncos, seeing Broncos favored by nine.

Speaker 18 (01:12:27):
Yeah, the Raiders are the worst team against the spread
in the NFL, not just by not covering, but also
by amount of points not covering the spread. They're minus
eighteen and a half against the spread so far this
year or so. The Broncos seemingly are in a great
spot here. I'm going to take them as long as
the line stays under ten.

Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
Okay, let's shoot over a game. It's in Berlin, I believe,
right early game here in the States. The Falcons and
Colts culture seven and two. They had lost last week,
but they are favored minus six and a half over
those Falcons.

Speaker 18 (01:13:05):
Yeah, the Falcons have regressed to the mean. Quarterback play
has not been good. Kirk Cousins had to come in
last week and oh it was ugly. I love where
the Colts are right now. I think they're a top
three team in the AFC currently, which is surprising considering
where we entered the year. So yeah, I'm all over

(01:13:26):
the Colts in this one, even though it's it's a
weird time time zone change and all that.

Speaker 6 (01:13:32):
I love the Colts in this game.

Speaker 4 (01:13:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:34):
And uh in Colts picking up Sauce Gardner, No, I'm
not sure. I know he was injured, but is he
Is he playable yet? I'm not sure about that.

Speaker 18 (01:13:42):
Yeah, he actually cleared concussion protocol yesterday at a press
He had a press conference today, so he will be
a full go on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
I love my Colts going going after it man big time,
going for it big they got I mean Daniel Jones
and he could be the MVP right, I mean, is
he on any gambling list for MVP this.

Speaker 18 (01:14:00):
Yeah, he's currently the fifth best odds in the NFL
to win the MVP this year. They they have it
going in the right direction and they're going all in.

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
All right, Well, switch into the afternoon games. How about
Browns at Jets? And the only reason I bring this
game up, Well, the Browns are favored by two and
a half, but the Jets in complete teardown mode? Is
this a game that surely the Browns can win this?
But I'm just curious, how do you bet this game?

Speaker 18 (01:14:34):
So this is one of those things where their situations,
you know, Joe Burrow gets injured, for instance, you always
take the road the next opponent to cover the spread
because you imagine that the locker room is going to
be down. The Jets just told everybody that they're in
full rebuild mode. As you said, Eddie, they traded off

(01:14:54):
two of their better players, their best cornerback and arguably
their best or second best offensive linemen in Quinn Williams.
They're definitely building for the future. I don't see any
way the Jets win this game, but the Browns offense
is so bad. I'm staying on the under on this one.
But I will take the Browns to cover the.

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
Spread, all right, Yeah, the under, by the way, is
thirty eight and a half for that one.

Speaker 18 (01:15:21):
So yeah, thirty points toward in that game will be supressed.

Speaker 5 (01:15:24):
Agreed, agreed?

Speaker 3 (01:15:25):
All right, go to again.

Speaker 2 (01:15:28):
Jaguars having a pretty decent seven season, sitting in five
and three. I think they'd lost two straight, but then
beat the Raiders last week and they played the Texans.
Are sitting there at three and five, and I'm seeing
a real tight line here on this division rivalry game.
Jaguars minus one.

Speaker 3 (01:15:46):
And a half.

Speaker 18 (01:15:49):
Yeah, So, anybody who's an old school wrestling fan, like
I'm sure you are, Rocky remembers the loser leaves town match.
This is a loser leaves town game, and I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna go with the Jaguars there. I think they're
turning the corner, but they're one of those teams that
as soon as they start picking the momentum, they somehow

(01:16:10):
have a head scratching loss. But I think they pull
it out this week and win by at least three.

Speaker 1 (01:16:16):
All right, Again, a division rival of the Bengals, Ravens
at Vikings. Seeing Ravens by four and a big over
under of forty nine.

Speaker 18 (01:16:30):
Yeah, the under in this one is the play that
I like just because of how bad the Vikings offense is.
But I think this is where the Ravens they've already
started getting it rolling. They have the rest advantage because
they played on Thursday night dominated the Dolphins. I like
the Ravens in this spot for.

Speaker 2 (01:16:47):
Sure, all right, and a team that's, I mean, could
really be a playoff team here, the Pats versus the Bucks.
Bucks won better teams than the NFC.

Speaker 8 (01:17:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:17:03):
I like the Buccaneers. I think you know they are
right now the number two team in the NFC, and
Baker Mayfield and the moxie on that team.

Speaker 3 (01:17:12):
I like them.

Speaker 18 (01:17:13):
They're getting healthier and they look like a team that's
getting ready to make the playoff run. On the other side,
the Packers, it's almost like week to week you don't
necessarily know what you're getting with them.

Speaker 4 (01:17:24):
So I will take the Buccaneers.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
And let's just briefly, guys, both your input on what's
going on with Baker Mayfield. He when he totally punked
out in Cleveland. Was that a matter of there was
absolutely zero support there? Or is this guy grown up
a lot and finally grown into his talent or what
the hell's happened here?

Speaker 2 (01:17:45):
I think it's a little bit of both, right, Jase.
I think I mean the same thing with Daniel Jones.
Daniel Jones was terrible, he's no good. Well he gets
with you know, the right play caller, right environment, right,
you know, frankly front office, and he has success.

Speaker 3 (01:17:58):
I think the same thing with Baker.

Speaker 2 (01:17:59):
Look nothing against youhead, but it's it's hard to succeed
as a quarterback or any other position unless you're Miles
Garrett as a Cleveland Brown just so front office wild nuts.

Speaker 1 (01:18:11):
Miles Garrett is supernatural.

Speaker 2 (01:18:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but no, that's I think that's that's
the thing with with Baker.

Speaker 3 (01:18:17):
I'm happy for him.

Speaker 18 (01:18:17):
Yeah, one situation matters so much. And Tampa Bay is
more laid back. They don't they don't try to get
out in front of everything. They don't try to make
huge splashes. They just develop and build and they let
Baker b Baker. He's not constrained anything. They have an
offense that works for him. And yeah, he's got that

(01:18:39):
team humming right now?

Speaker 3 (01:18:42):
All right, where we go? Who's up ed you?

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
I got rams of rams at forty nine ers rams
by four and a half is what I'm seeing with
an over of a forty nine and a half.

Speaker 3 (01:18:53):
That's a big number.

Speaker 18 (01:18:56):
Yeah, I like the over in this game, and I
like the Rams just because right now it feels like
the forty nine Ers are hanging on by whatever claws
they have in their fingers to try and maintain a
playoff spot or get back in the playoff spot, I
should say, because they're outside looking in right now with
how many injuries they have. They've just been devastated this year.

(01:19:18):
And Sean McVay again is proving that the way that
him and less sneed build that team in LA that
they're formidable regardless of who's hurt, who's not hurt, whatever,
As long as he's got Matt Stafford at quarterback.

Speaker 2 (01:19:34):
They're ridiculous and arguably one of the best games of
the weekend. Here that the Sunday night game Pittsburgh Steelers
at Chargers. Chargers of one two in a row and
the Steelers beat the red hot Colts last week. Yeah,
seeing Chargers MIAs two and a half, pretty tight line
and a over under a forty four and a half,

(01:19:56):
I you see this.

Speaker 18 (01:19:59):
This is another game where I like the over, but
I also like the Steelers to win outright and to cover.
Aaron Rodgers loved Prime Time. He's great at it. And
the Steelers team that we saw lose to the Bengals,
they haven't looked like that at all since that lost.

Speaker 1 (01:20:18):
All right, Now, then the Monday night game, pretty damn
fine game here to Eagles at Packers, packed by two
and a half the last I saw.

Speaker 18 (01:20:29):
Yeah, I like this matchup for the Eagles only because
they're dominant in the lines and the trenches. The Packers
you've got awesome offense, but question of defense at times,
as we saw Joe Flacco almost let a second half
comeback against them a few weeks ago. So give me
the Eagles in this spot, even though I think it's

(01:20:51):
going to be might be a one point game.

Speaker 3 (01:20:54):
Yeah, interesting in Eagles.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
I mean they go Packers and they got Lions next week,
so it's a pretty tough, tough sledding back to back here, Jason,
Before lets you go, I did want to talk about
I mean, there's a few good college games this week.
I think the one of most interests, certainly from a
betting perspective, is LSU at Alabama. Now the line is
Alabama minus nine and a half over under forty eight

(01:21:19):
and a half. Of course, LSU coming off a very
public breakup with their head coach. They had the bye
last week, and you know, I'm always interested in again
as someone who doesn't bet, you know, games, but like,
you know, just how outside factors can affect a team.
Now you go on two ways. LSU's like, oh my god,

(01:21:40):
he's gone. We can now take a deep breath and
it's right. Or they're just in total disarray because that's
just kind of what happens when a head coach gets fired.

Speaker 3 (01:21:51):
But how are you seeing this one? Alabama minus nine
and a half over LSU.

Speaker 18 (01:21:58):
I like Alabama in this spot, but buyer beware. I'll
say teams, especially young influential players in our early twenties
league teams can get a big boost from the guy
that they couldn't stand in the locker room being let go.
But yeah, I'm all over Alabama in this one, and
I'm also all over the over. I think it's going

(01:22:19):
to be a track meet, and I could be wrong.
You know, the bump of Brian Kelly being dismissed there
could help them raise their level this week, but I
doubt it. So yeah, Alabama minus the points, I think
they win by two touchdowns and then the over all.

Speaker 1 (01:22:37):
Right with that, Jason, we will let you go, buddy,
thanks so much.

Speaker 18 (01:22:40):
All right, guys, let's go make some money.

Speaker 3 (01:22:42):
Thank you, Thanks Jason.

Speaker 1 (01:22:44):
Jason Hoppins, sports editor from The Inquire Cincinnati dot com.
Now Brian Kelly is does by. Obviously he doesn't have
to work again. Will he work again? He's he is
it going to be an analyst.

Speaker 2 (01:22:57):
I don't think anybody's gonna hire him to be an
analy He's just not like a likable guy. And Nick
Saban was that perfect combination of fiery coach, but he
also had charisma.

Speaker 3 (01:23:09):
I mean he was funny, you know, you know he.

Speaker 1 (01:23:12):
Look those Airbnb or whatever those things are. It was hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
Yeah, yeah, so I think I mean that's as you know,
radio and TV is about entertainment versus you know, the
guy that knows the most football. Saban happens to be
that perfect combination of knows everything about football, has had
tremendous success with it, has a ton of experience in it,
and is charismatic and funny. I don't think Brian Kelly

(01:23:40):
will come across on TV, so you know, maybe they
take a chance. I don't see it. I think he
I think he coached. He's a ball coach. I think
he becomes an OC somewhere or if not, a head
coach somewhere. I mean, you think I'm crazy, But Penn
State is kind of running out of options. You know,
if Lane Kiffin doesn't doesn't leave old men, and you know.

Speaker 1 (01:24:02):
How about North Carolina, he probably will too. With that,

value of family driven Sir.

Speaker 1 (01:25:52):
All right back with Eddie and Rocky and just a
little bit longer. We got to get you out of here.

Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
Rock Yeah good, I got to the gap something the
helicopter right now, right I go.

Speaker 1 (01:26:03):
But before we get out of here, speaking to flying,
this whole shutdown thing with the with the air traffic
control and flights now Alex Stone from ABC man, this
is it's going to get worse before it gets better.
Into Alex.

Speaker 16 (01:26:17):
Yeah, I mean absolutely unless there is some deal that
they come to on the shutdown the really really quickly.
But this has the potential to be a major headache
for anybody traveling. So the airlines were given only one
hour's heads up yesterday before the FAA came out and
said it's going to begin canceling ten percent of flights.
And they had the idea being to reduce strain on

(01:26:38):
the system because so many air traffic controllers and TSA
as well. But there's really about air traffic control that
they are calling out sick because they're not getting paid,
and you know, the union saying sick is kind of
a loose term on it, but it is not having gasoline,
or not having childcare, or being overworked and overburdened. And
now forty airports, including the biggest those around New York

(01:27:00):
and Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, Denver, La, Seattle, all across the country.
They're going to have to cut flight to the TSA
administrator announcing that this is a move they feel like
they've got to make.

Speaker 6 (01:27:10):
We have decided that a ten percent reduction and scheduled
capacity would be appropriate.

Speaker 16 (01:27:15):
So ten percent will be the ultimate number, beginning with
four percent, then going up to ten percent. Transportation Secretary
Sean Duffy saying this comes down to safety. That we're
at a critical point now where staffing is so light
in control towers and air traffic control centers that to
keep the sky safe, they've got to reduce the number
of planes that are in the air, and that they've
got to make a change quick.

Speaker 6 (01:27:35):
In the end, our sole role is to make sure
that we keep this airspace as safe as possible. This
is about where is the pressure and how do we
alleviate the pressure.

Speaker 16 (01:27:45):
So this is thousands of flights, It is hundreds of thousands,
if not more, of flyers having their flights that are
about to be canceled. United and Delta saying they're already
doing it right now. The CEO Frontier is saying if
you're flying, you should book on multiple airlines over the
next couple of days so that you have multiple options
to get out if you don't want to get stranded
somewhere if your flight is canceled. And the CEO of

(01:28:07):
Frontier is saying that if you fly on only one ticket,
that you were really exposing yourself to getting stranded wherever
you're going. So this is serious. Henry Heartfeld is an
aviation industry a consultant. He says he's never seen anything
like it.

Speaker 9 (01:28:19):
It's just going to be an unimationable, unprecedented, unwelcome, unpleasant level.

Speaker 16 (01:28:26):
Of chaos if it really does get carried out the
way that they're saying that it will. So the airlines
now have to make cuts to comply with this, and
it's going to be tough. Now, what they can do
is swap out bigger planes. So let's say you have
three seven thirty sevens over you know, a six to
seven hour period going to Denver. Maybe, now you swap
that out with one Boeing Triple seven, where you can
get everybody from those seven thirty sevens onto the one

(01:28:48):
Triple seven. You get two planes out of the sky
that way, and only one going, So there are workarounds,
and now that the summer in de fall Europe travel
season is winding down, the bigger wide body planes that
are more readily available they can use domestically, so they
can figure that out, but still it's gonna be tough.
Not all airlines are able to do that. And those

(01:29:09):
flying today they say, yeah, they're worried about this. This
guy's flying out to Denver and he says he's come
back on Saturday and he's just gonna have to deal
with it.

Speaker 6 (01:29:18):
Day. Wait.

Speaker 16 (01:29:19):
Yeah, and a lot of people are saying they don't know,
they don't have a plan. They're not going to go
out and buy five airline tickets. You could do refundable,
but then you've got to deal with all of that.
So theoretically the impacts could begin tonight, but mainly it's
going to be tomorrow going into the weekend, and airlines
are warning customers now it could be bad. They're going
to try to accommodate everybody, but you could get stuck

(01:29:39):
where you go to where you're going, and then you
can't get back from there. So the airlines are saying,
this is kind of unknown territory here of really what
this is going to be.

Speaker 1 (01:29:47):
Wow, And there's no end inside really, Alex.

Speaker 16 (01:29:53):
No, I mean nothing until the end of the shutdown,
because it's only expected to get worse. And as time
goes on and more of these air traffic controllers and
TSA officers are going to be calling out sick, the
numbers are going to continue to go up the longer
they're not getting paid now six weeks into this, so
it's just going to get worse. And then that's why
Sean Duffy is saying for safety before we have an accident,

(01:30:17):
that they've got to reduce the number of planes in
the air or you're going to have an incident where
it's going to be deadly.

Speaker 1 (01:30:23):
All right with that, Alex, don't. We will let you go.

Speaker 16 (01:30:26):
You got it?

Speaker 3 (01:30:27):
Thank gus.

Speaker 1 (01:30:28):
Fly shoot at least twice a week going to and from.
Have you run any trouble yet?

Speaker 3 (01:30:35):
I have not.

Speaker 2 (01:30:36):
But you know my game last night, I was in Toledo.
I could drive to it. Both both my games next
week are drivable, thank god, you.

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:30:46):
Like it's kind of getting some of these driveable. I'd
never get drivable games, right and luckily because some are
coming up and certainly at the right time for me.

Speaker 1 (01:30:55):
Rock In other news, while we're talking about traveling here, uh,
let's take a trip to all Strip, well nine hundred
miles from Australia Christmas Island. Oh yeah, doesn't sound like
some place shouldrun You want again, Rudolph's there right in
the Santo vacations there seven to or well the elves

(01:31:18):
and everybody's everybody's there, Cinderella at the whole nine yards.
People there are carrying rakes in their car because this
time because I've heard of this in I think it's
in it's in Colorado or New Mexico or something. Every
year where they have the migration of the tarantulas.

Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
Okay, have you heard them? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen
situations like this, Yes, go on.

Speaker 1 (01:31:44):
And on Christmas Island though it's the annual migration of
the red crabs.

Speaker 3 (01:31:51):
This is the one I have seen. Yes, this is wild.

Speaker 1 (01:31:53):
Yeah, I've seen this too. If you haven't seen this,
look look the.

Speaker 3 (01:31:56):
Literally millions of these things are crossing the road in
millions and millions.

Speaker 1 (01:32:01):
Each year, one hundred million crabs leave their forest burrows
and make their way to the ocean, where they lay
their eggs.

Speaker 3 (01:32:11):
It's right, and so.

Speaker 1 (01:32:14):
Says one Christmas says the wild. Guess the person in
charge of the national park there on Christmas Island we
have to put rakes in our cars and leaf blowers
to ensure that the crabs have a safe passage. So
I guess there's poor little bastards of their You know,
you just go out there with your leaf learn and
clear the ways you can drive through.

Speaker 3 (01:32:35):
Are they protected? Are you not allowed to just plow
through them? Apparently not? Wow? Uh da da da da da.

Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
A lot of people, if they can, will work from home.
Is this this one, lady? It's one of the most
amazing wildlife experiences you can see on the planet. And
it really is true. I mean you can look it up,
I'm sure on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
I have seen this song wild Yeah, to see that
many of something just migrating, yeah, from the forest whatever
to the to the water.

Speaker 3 (01:33:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:33:08):
Yeah, well they have that down in well, not to
that extent, but down the sea turtles yeah, and down
in Florida.

Speaker 3 (01:33:17):
Seeing those nature shows that's cool, Yeah, they have. I
would love to see that. That'd be something one day
I'd like to watch live go wherever the hell that
is in the world. And just watch that.

Speaker 1 (01:33:28):
I'd like to see the tarantula thing look at I'm like,
I said, I want to say, it's New Mexico. It's
obviously it's a desert state, Arizona, New Mexico, something like that.
But the tarantulas do the same thing, and they migrate
across highways and stuff. So I don't know if anybody
to be too worried about running over a tarantula or not.

Speaker 3 (01:33:51):
Yeah, I think they would just go out of my way.
Tough beads and spider guy. Yeah, yeah, here it is. Yeah,
this is in Colorado.

Speaker 2 (01:34:01):
It's Colorado, Like thousands of translators, translors migrating across Colorado roads.

Speaker 3 (01:34:07):
Now with that, see that?

Speaker 1 (01:34:09):
That that to me, the spider a crab is one thing,
but with those big Harry spiders, man, I'm sorry, I can't.
I can't sympathize with you cannot sympathize with the spider.

Speaker 3 (01:34:27):
Yeah. The other thing too, is like you hate to
say this, but it's like, ah, there's millions of them.
If I run over you know, fifty of them, who cares.
But that's always my argument when it comes to aliens. Aliens,
You're like, why would you kill me, like you know,
like I do you know? Good? I'm no harm to you.
And it's like, well, it's not like you're harmed to me,

(01:34:47):
but I just don't care. Like there's there's you know,
three undred and sixty million of you or four and
thirty million of you guys on there. Who cares if
ten of you or a thousand of you go? So
we're saying what I'm saying, are you.

Speaker 1 (01:34:59):
Talking about the alien killing you? Are you killing the aliens?

Speaker 13 (01:35:02):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:35:02):
Me killing the alien killing me?

Speaker 2 (01:35:04):
I see, Because that's always the big question, right It's
like if aliens did come to Earth, are they friendly?

Speaker 3 (01:35:10):
Are they hostile? What would it be it? And I
always contended that they just wouldn't care, Like.

Speaker 2 (01:35:17):
You step on you step on an ant hill right now,
You're not like, oh my god, I just killed thousands
of ants.

Speaker 3 (01:35:22):
You're like, well, it's kind of in my way. I
don't want to kill the ants. But if I did,
I don't care what.

Speaker 1 (01:35:28):
You're saying, because I totally agree with that. I don't
think they would. I think that they would think of
us as an insect. Yeah, just they don't know you're
a human.

Speaker 3 (01:35:36):
Cool. We want to communicate with you. They don't care.
I don't care. Not hostile. There's just you're kind of
in my way there, and you gotta go well with
that thought in mind for the oh we get there
of mankind.

Speaker 1 (01:35:54):
Uh, I just know that aliens really don't give a
damn about us, and they will exterminate us.

Speaker 3 (01:35:59):
But that thought and mind would go to traffic and weather.

Speaker 11 (01:36:01):
What is going on
