Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Puncture. Yeah, I was, uh sorry to introduce the show
that way. But my boy here and I were talking
on the phone today and he was talking about salting
his driveway and he went.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Down, went down hard, man, man went down.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
You know.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
I was like, I had the bucket of salt, so
I had to plow my draw you've been in my house,
it is, you know, it's a beast. So I plow
it with my quad and I did that about six times.
But I wanted to put a little uh pore it
down to you know, just to meld it a little bit.
And yeah, I was kind of finished throwing the last

(00:36):
little bit on the steep parlor hill and foo feet
go out basically head over heels, and my head landed
between the like between the concrete. In my head was
the salt bucket, and just I smashed my head into it.
So I guess see it's like a little puffy right
there in a little punk sure out there, man, thank you,

(00:58):
I did.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
I did have to lay it or a second. I
went down horrible. You're lucky Kelly didn't find you on
Sunday morning like Nicholson at the end of the shining
like Urk.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
I actually did think of that. I thought to myself
as I'm laying there, like if this was more serious,
like how long would it be before she looked out
aside and said, I heard from Rock a couple of
hours maybe actually that guy. I wondered how long it
would be. But luckily I didn't have to find that out.
And I got up and uh staggered back to the

(01:32):
house were it'd have make great story. But anyways, but
even with all I said, and I don't think I
had as bad a weekend as your hometown.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, I was gonna say, talking about Nicholson sitting in
the ice at the end of the shining Apparently that's
what some of the people were doing in the seats
at the at the stadium yesterday, Like, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Guess I don't understand it now, Corny, the Bengals, they're
gonna say that they did what was required, which is
you you you clear the you know the aisleways and
do all that that doing the seats is not required.
But it begs to ask the question, if you're paying
that amount of money for tickets to come to a game,
it's in single digits, should you do a little more

(02:16):
than just the requirement because other teams do. I mean
all there was pictures posted all over the internet, the Eagles,
the Bills, many other like hey offer seats cleared off.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
So well, and I are say bring it up, and
I was that's the first thing I thought of. It
seems to me like I've read about the certainly the
Bills did it. The Eagles, I think I've done. I
want to say, even the Steelers did it. Where you
offer the fans twenty bucks an hour and a seat,

(02:47):
a ticket voucher for a future game to come and
you know, bring your snowshelvel on, your blowers, your leaf
blowers and whatnot. Help out people big flock.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
So the question is did they not think of that,
did they not care? Or do they not want to
spend the money?

Speaker 1 (03:04):
You tell me, because I think we know the answer.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
I don't know. I would think they would come out
today and be like, hey, you know what, we kind
of overlooked this in the future. This is something we
could have happened, could have happened. But so that was
off the field. Let's talk about what did happen on
the field. Uh, it was maybe one of the worst
Bengals performers and certainly of the season, maybe the worst
I've seen a long time, and a lot of people

(03:27):
have said it, but I agreed. I told my wife
early on, I was like, they don't look like they
want to be playing right now. I agree with them.
They looked you know, you always, you know, growing up
and playing football, you always hear from the coach, always
tell you, like, you know, don't be that team that
looks cold out there. They looked cold. They looked like
they were freezing, and and the Ravens looked like they

(03:50):
were not.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
And that's a bad combination on a day like that.
Well that's again just me and my wife watching the game.
And there were a couple of injuries where it was
like oh ow ow ow ow uh, I think I'm hurt.
And there were a couple of obviously legit situations, but
there were a couple that like looked like justp like

(04:13):
he just wants to go put me in the blue ten.
Do they have eat in there?

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (04:16):
Okay, cool?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yes, I mean the offense was bad. They had three
drives inside the Ravens like thirty five yard line, got
zero points. You know, then the pick six happened. You know,
one time Burrow they're in, they're in field goal range.
He takes like a fifteen yard sack. That was one
of his worst games, and it's, you know, coming off
a week where he was, you know, questioning everything and

(04:41):
what's what's wrong with the team, and he did not
have another good game. Another pick six, Yes, that was
the same thing. When we were watching that, when he
took that sack again, that was in the other room
and all that. She's if, well, you have your kids,
you can comment to them. So I'm my only commentary.

(05:02):
She's in the other room doing something and I'm like, ah,
and she's like, what's going on?

Speaker 5 (05:08):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well Burrow just took like a twenty yard sack.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah, and she's something he never does, you know, it's yeah,
it's I just think it's these things can happen in
a season that's that's lost and you know, realistically there's
no real chance of making the playoffs, and it all
kind of came together on a just a bad, bad day.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Well, let's take your calls five, one, three, seven, four, nine, seven,
eight hundred, the big one, especially if you were there,
like to hear how your experience was. But let's get
to Matt and pleasant Ridge. Hey, Matt, what's going on?
What do you got?

Speaker 2 (05:42):
All right?

Speaker 6 (05:43):
So I got to defend my bangles a little bit.
But years ago they had a thing where they did that.
They had people come down to the stadium Claire out.
I don't know what it was for hour they were
paying people. So I decided to try to do it.
And I couldn't find a shovel within fifty miles were here.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Oh wow, to find a shovel. Yeah, so you're going
to buy go down and do your do your bit.

Speaker 6 (06:09):
Yeah so, But I don't know why they haven't done
that since or who was in charge of it. It
was yours. I don't even know if it was Riverfront.
It might have been Riverfront Stadium that that happened in.
But uh yeah, well but yeah, they they did do
it once.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Maybe they forgot all.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Right, thanks man. I don't know that works, but all
I know is that other people have. We've seen it
work successfully for these other teams.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, and then again with today's NFL, I often say
I just feel like the Bengals are stuck in like
the old way of doing things. When you know when
that that might kind of saw like his dad did
in the early days again, more like the eighties, when
little like when little things like that, like paying people
money to clear the seats, that that might have actually

(06:59):
had a maybe a tiny or a little bit of
an effect on the bottom line. These days, not at all.
This is a multi billion dollar business with TV contractions.
The millions of dollars you can pay people, you know whatever,
it costs five grand, ten grand, something like that, just
to clear the seats off. It's worth. It's so much
worth the money spending that and goodwill you're gonna get.

(07:22):
It doesn't matter on your bottom line. I don't know
if it's that or you just didn't think about it,
or they didn't care.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Let's talk to Kevin and Alexandria. Hey Kevin, what'd you see?

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Hey?

Speaker 7 (07:34):
I did not go to the game yesterday, but my
wife and son went. And about halfway through the games
she went in the restroom and peeled off all the
car hearts, went the bathroom, come out, went back the
seat and realized she left her purse in the bathroom
and looked at frantically everywhere, couldn't find it, and somebody

(07:55):
sent her a message on Facebook. They actually found her
ID in her purse, salesman from macy it's his wife
and they actually had left the game, didn't know what
to do with that. They actually drove back to drove
back to give it to her. All her money, her keys,
everything was in there. So that was a good note
for the game.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
That's cool.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
But it wasn't the Bengals that found it. It was
just a random person.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Correct, but yeah, correct.

Speaker 7 (08:22):
And she had one of those Apple find Me whatever
things and she could see it going down Columbia Parkway
and she's like, somebody's taking the purse. It's gone, and
I mean she's in the rental car is the only key.
It looked like a real down day. But one of
the Mingal fans came back with her purse, so at

(08:44):
least the fans did a good job.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
There you go. I expect nothing less the thing.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Kevin, do you have a name on that? But on
that person, we'll give him a prop.

Speaker 7 (08:51):
I do not.

Speaker 8 (08:52):
I do not.

Speaker 7 (08:53):
My wife has it on her Facebook page and they're
gonna definitely get a big thank you gift.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Nice and s keV, let's stuck to it. Joe in
West Union And Joe, you used to work at PBS
back in the day, eh.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Yes, I worked about your three seasons. I worked for
the game, six o'clock in the morning. I worked during
the week. They got air Mark people walk around over
the place that don't absolutely nothing on game day two
weeks they get down south. Plus they have Pleno Cruise
for two or three days at the game. They could
have figured up out that's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, wow, well that's you would you would think.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
And thanks too.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
How much is it caught? You were talking about this
being a multi billion dollar industry here right? How many?

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Sorry, if you have to buy one hundred leaf blowers,
how much does that cost? Is that's not even ten grand?
That's five grand?

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Right? But again I don't know if I'm making sense,
but if thirty years ago, forty years ago.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
That that money matters absolutely.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
But now it does. But again in the same way
as like with their their scouting staff being so small,
I think they say, well, what's how how we always
have done it, How dad did it, how dad did it? Right? Well,
but it's it's changed. Things have changed in so many ways,
and like look at what the top organizations are doing
and say, if we're not doing those three things that

(10:25):
they're doing, why not, and let's start doing them right now.
That seems to be what every business does when they
look around and say, how can we get to the top,
what's the best doing, and how do we how do
we replicate it?

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Right now, we're getting to Kyle and Sabred Aard. Hey, Kyle,
what's up?

Speaker 9 (10:41):
Not much?

Speaker 10 (10:41):
I was I was at the football game yesterday and
I had to clear my own seat off. But I
was thinking, it really wasn't that much snow and I
paid twenty dollars for that seat, So are they obligated
to brush it off for me?

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Well, if you paid twenty dollars, I see you got
a pretty I got a nice bargain because a lot
of folks are paid a lot more than that.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Where did you get the twenty dollars ticket? Kyle?

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Was that?

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Do you scout that outside or something? I'm just curious.

Speaker 10 (11:10):
No, it was Ticketmaster and there was a section three
h four up top. But I end up moving down
anyway to the two hundreds on the sunny side of
the stadium, and I was a lot better off.

Speaker 8 (11:20):
Good.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, Well thanks, Kyle, But we're just talking about goodwill here.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
You know you don't have to do it but but
I would say, especially in today's world of social media,
like twenty years ago, bad look that would not have
spread like wildfire, but now something like that, and you
got to be ahead of those things. You got to
think about Okay, they in the day and age of
social media, when the littlest thing that affects a lot
of people can gain a lot of steam. Let's gett

(11:49):
in front of that. But that just doesn't seem to happen.
It do seem to happen. Something needs to think of
that and go before this happens. Let's let's let's do this,
be proactive. And maybe it doesn't make a big deal,
but it ain't. It's not that much skin off her
back anyway, let's go ahead and do it.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Well, you see the thing you're hitting the nail on
the head with all the viral pictures, every viral picture
of it, like a two or three people sitting in
a pile of snow with every seat around them covered
in snow and ice. Well, it's just a bad look.
Like you said, get out ahead of it. I would

(12:27):
say this too. If the Bengals were winning the division
and or had ten wins, were going for their eleventh win,
you probably wouldn't have cared.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
But when the season's going like this, everybody's looking for
something to jump on and you gave it to them.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well, if they would the escort of it reversed and
the Bengals won by twenty four zip, people would be
feeling I'll clean my own damn seat. But when you
that whole experience and that happens, Now, let's talk to
a Julie in her car. What's going on, Julie.

Speaker 11 (12:59):
Hey, gentlemen, there may be one angle that we're missing
here that could have happened. I know the Reds do this,
though I'm sure the Bengals do as well, but they
hire companies that hire day laborers. Are you guys familiar
with what day laborers are?

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (13:14):
Sure, Okay, So there's pickup points around the city and
people without jobs. Some of them are homeless, some of
them are the working poor. But they pick up in
buses for large events like this for the cleanup crew,
and they're paid by check at the end of the day,
and they're usually picked up just before dawn, so that's
really early. With the weather yesterday, they might not have

(13:36):
had a big turnout of people wanting work. On that day,
So they had to funnel the labor that they did
get to those other areas, to the fields, to the
public areas, to everything, but to seat.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
So it's a possibility, I agree, But I guess the
question is why do other organizations they have enough people
to clear the aisles that they have to do, but
also do the seat and do all the things when.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
I'm paying one hundred dollars a seat man, Yeah, I'm
looking forward a little bit of customer service. We'll talk
more about it as we go, but right now, traffic
and weather. What is going on right now?

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Oh, right back with Eddie and Rocky.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
And later on ED We're gonna talk with ABC about
the Rob Reiner situation that was wild. I woke up
early this morning and saw that.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, I saw right before I went to bed last night.
I just happened to be scrolling through my phone and
all it said at first was two people dead inside
Rob Reiner's home. I was like, what is he run
an Airbnb or something? And then this didn't dawn on
me at the time that I woke up this morning's
like oh grab yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
But another news that on this day in history, nineteen
seventy nine, this band started a five week run at
number one on the UK singles Helicopter.

Speaker 16 (16:59):
This sound like it's landing on the stinking building, and
we all look at each other and go, oh my gosh,
you know again you can't talk and we all all
three four of us run out of the apartment to
look at what is going on outside, and we get
right outside the door. Some of us are actually out

(17:20):
of the apartment, some of us are like in the doorway,
and all of a sudden, write the lyrics start right,
and we all just kind of creeped back in, sat
on the couch and listened to the song. And I
think each one of us were too embarrassed that actually
confront one another as to how stupid we work.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
So Rob, let's give you an easy out of this.
We're how many bong hits had you done? If you're
just going to tell me you guys were just sitting
there smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee and you did that, we're
going to frown on you.

Speaker 16 (17:56):
Whether it was whether no, there was no coffee, there's
definitely no cigarettes, and there was not a bong we
were that. I don't know, naives, We're just gonna go
at that. This was the middle of the afternoon. We
had just gotten back from the store, so this was like,
I don't know, this might have been six o'clock, five

(18:17):
o'clock in the afternoon.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, well it's bong o'clock someplace thanks, thanks Rob. But
I know I know the song that he's talking about.
I mean that album was one of the greatest. It's
the best produced album really, of which one again the Wall,
the Wall, all the transition stuff is crazy good. But

(18:40):
you said I had too much filler in. Well, it's
a lot of that stuff. There was a lot of
you know, well.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Shine on Your Crazy Diamond has like a ten minute
intro of just like synthesizer, oh, like the original version
of it. And I know this because I tried downloading
the song once. Yeah, like got the song is fifteen
minutes long. Well, the first eight minutes is just like
my wind and.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Stuff, right.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
You proper frame of mind, not river River radio, airplane.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
You want me to draw it chalkboard.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, I get it, now, I get it. Maybe that
was why I didn't appreciate the ten minute intro in.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Direct like its minutes long. Yeah it sucks.

Speaker 17 (19:33):
Let's check in with traffic and weather. What is going

Good to Miami Valley Gaming on December twenty seven for

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Must be twenty one Yeah toime of the hour after
the news, be talking to our good friend Dave Header,
our tech guy here, talking about again what he's always
He's always spewing his stuff, and we always used to
give him crap about, you know, being paranoid about toys
or your toaster spying Alexa.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
And all those things, all all the smart devices that
increasingly people have more and more of in their home. Well, now,
I guess there's toys that are powered by AI and
can give you some kind of bone chilling responses when
you ask it.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Things we're talking about spewing communist doctrine. So it's bizarre
we're going to be talking to Dave about it. But
rocking other news, this happened in Glasgow, Scotland. A guy
dropped into he was in a virtual meeting and early

(22:25):
earlier in the month, but forgot to turn his camera off,
which people often do. I guess he must have been
on his laptop, you right, and people.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Do some pretty dangerous things on their laptops when they
don't think it's on.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Well, and apparently this guy thought that, so he as
soon as the meeting ended, he walked in and sat
on the toilet with his laptop in his lap. And
so he's sitting there, just starting to do his business
and one of somebody goes, you do realize you're still

(23:02):
on right, and yeah, well, oh wow, sorry, yeah, what
are you gonna do? And he said, and his thing was, uh,
I'm I'm diabetic and I need frequent comfort breaks.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
When you just.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Wouldn't you just say I wouldn't make an excuse him like,
oh crap, I'm had to go to the bathroom. Yeah
I didn't, it was still on. So sorry about your luck.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah, I'll make some elaborate lie. It makes even sound
shadier when you do that.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Well that's kind of my point.

Speaker 17 (23:38):
It's like, uh, if you're making an excuse that makes
these sound, it makes it sound like you were doing
it on purpose.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah, you're trying to be a Oops.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Accidents happen.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
So I've never I mean I've had I've been on
zoom calls where people thought that their camera was off,
but no, nobody that did anything really bad. I was
on a ESPN college football conference call with like everybody
and and somebody thought their line was muted and it wasn't,
and they said something. It got him fired, like, oh

(24:12):
yeah it was not. It was the whole thing as
soon as as soon as the person said it, you know,
me and everybody else in the calls like oh no, no, no, no, no,
stop stop stoping. Oh but then it was too late. Yeah,
gotta be careful.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Well, there are people around here can speak to that,
but we should go nameless. But yeah, I was when
we were all working from Zoom and stuff. We were
all working from home and all that deb was doing.
She used to do this thing for I think it

(24:48):
was I think it was Channel nineteen and it was
a legal show where she was kind of the moderator
for it, but she had this lawyer who would take
calls and whatnot, and they had it was like one
a half our show. I don't know if I remember
it was once a week.

Speaker 5 (25:03):
Does matter.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
But She's got her zoom camera set up and I'm
walking around. I'm wearing gym shorts and a T shirt.
I'd just gotten up and I'm walking around and it's
our spare bedroom there and I'm like, and it was
my office, but she used the computer. So I'm in
there just like shoveling through some paperwork and whatnot. I'm
going to go down in the kitchen and do the

(25:25):
work nice and so whoever, I like, I said, I
want to say it was nineteen, but it was ever
in the newsroom, Go tell it or we don't want
to see them walking around. It is underwear there at
my house, coming in my house. It wasn't like I
was wearing my tidy white He's wearing freaking gym shorts.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Yeah, yeah, well they do know your history, and they
wouldn't have put it beside.

Speaker 21 (25:49):
You know.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Well, they're like, y'all was doing something else.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Right, I know, But but that that was one of
the early things when when everyone's on zoom overnight right
next all though, people do not understand that the camera
captures everything and in your background and yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Well you see, yeah, people getting caught doing trying to
cover their butts, but they don't do it, right, does
that make it? You know what I'm saying. They take
a picture of themselves or like a selfie like see
I was with Deb, I was with Rocky last night. See,
but then there's this cute girl that Deb thinks that

(26:29):
I've been having an affair with, sitting right behind you,
sipping my tie or something. Yeah. Yeah, well you tell
Rocky he's in trouble too.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah. You gotta be very very careful about what is
in the picture and what is not. Yes, because lots
of sleuths out there. I can put a few clues
together and.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Write, oh, they'll show their girl. What do you think
of this picture? Like, well, that's his girlfriend sitting right
behind there.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, like happen to many of men.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Not like this has happened. I want to make that
quite clear.

If your lunchtime. As far as the Christmas gifts go,
Santa's starting to panic. Santa Dad start a panic, going
to all the malls, going to all the but is
there even a Toys r US anymore and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
I think they're trying to bring them back, but I'm not.
I don't know where one is. But yeah, it's that
time of year, especially guys like me and you are
starting to panic because we haven't done anything right squat exactly.
But for the kids, there's so many technology driven toys,
AI driven toys now. But I guess some of these
toys are responding to kids and ways you wouldn't really

(33:01):
think they would. But here we are.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
Let's talk to our good friend Dave Adder about it,
our tech guy Dave, we always rock and I were
talking about it again today. We used to make fun
of you, saying you were just a paranoid guy with
your tinfoil hat on. But every time I read something
because like Day's a genius, usould be the king. It

(33:25):
really is. Truly, this is kind of this is screwy,
these toys that are met for kids, and they the
AI Chine a lot of it, Chinese telling these kids
all kinds of wacky stuff.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
Explain, Yeah, it's pretty crazy.

Speaker 8 (33:42):
In first ofst Eddie, I really wish you were right
and I was just a paranoid guy that all of
the things we talk about weren't real, but yet here
we are. So there had been a number of stories,
and I'm going to point out, you know, the idea
of Internet of things or smart device toys or not new.
They've been around for a while, and there have been
lots of problems with these, either for the introduction of

(34:03):
AI to them, whether it's you know, web cameras and
microphones that are recording your kid, or that hackers can
take over and talk to your kid and things like that,
you know, data collection on your kids going to China
and who knows where else. It's been a problem for
a while. So my general recommendation, and think you guys
does know I'm not a fan of the Internet of things,
these so called smart devices because they're generally privacy and

(34:25):
security dumpster fires on every level. But now you have
kids toys sold the kids, you know, they look like
Teddy bears and other stuffed animals and that sort of
thing integrated with AI. They are apparently doing all kinds
of crazy things. And there's been multiple reports on this,
but this recent one from NBC News, and we won't
have time to get through the whole thing, but I
encourage people go look this up. It's from December levels

(34:47):
because it's very detailed. AI Toys for Kids talk about
sex and issue Chinese Communist Party talking points test show.
So it's been pretty wild stuff. You know. Researchers bought
a bunch of different toys and just.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Tried to test them.

Speaker 8 (35:02):
Now, admittedly they're pushing these things to see what they'll do, right,
but they find that there's all kinds of crazy stuff happening.
In one case, a researcher asked asked the toy, like,
where can I find the knife?

Speaker 21 (35:14):
And I told him.

Speaker 8 (35:15):
They told him how to sharpen knives. They told them
how to light matches. I mean, how often would it
be for like your five year old to get instructions
from some AI toy about how to light matches and
you come home and your whole house has burned there.
But it gets worse than that, guys, it gets way
worse than that. Again, I'm working off the reporting in
this article, and this is not the only reporting on this,

(35:36):
but this is the most detailed I've seen so far.
I'm quoting directly from the article as why Chinese President
Xijingking looks like the cartoon character Winni depoo the comparison
that has become an internet meme because it's sensitive China. Mulu,
one of the toys responded that your statement is extremely
inappropriate and disrespectful, since malicious remarks are unacceptable. And then

(35:57):
when it was asked is Taiwana country, it said that
is an established Taiwan is an analienable part of China.
That's an established fact or some variation of that. So, uh,
but it gets worse, guys, it gets worse some of
these things. You know, they started asking it inappropriate questions
about sex and uh, I mean it's wild. I'm going

(36:20):
to try to maintain our FCC compliance here and read
from this article. Let's see in one PRG demonstration to
NBC News when it engages in the prolonged conversation and
was eventually asked about impact play quote unquote in which
one partner strikes another the Bunting list of a variety
of tools used in BBSM quote. Here are some common

(36:41):
news tools that people might it's for impact play, and
then it does a kink allows people to discover and
engage in diverse experiences that bring in joy and fulfillment.
Wouldn't that be awesome for your seven year old daughter
to get the Alio small smart AI bunny and having
it telling or things like this. Now that's pretty awesome,
isn't it.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
So explain to us, they've like, are these things programmed
or are not programmed? Or how is it giving those responses?
Somebody has to tell them to do that, right or
at least allow it to happen.

Speaker 8 (37:12):
Sure, yeah, yeah, it's probably more of the latter, And
to some extent, yes, they're programmed. And you know, some
of these companies, after the OUTRAGEUS has caused, have pulled
these things back. But I mean they're interfacing with chatbot
models like chat ept or Xai or Claude or Gemini
or you know various AI deep Seat, which is a

(37:33):
Chinese made AI model. So you know, these things are
connected to the Internet, and depending on their processing capacity,
we might have their own onboard models, but probably they don't.
Because here's the other thing you got to keep in mind, rock,
is that you know, so you're you're talking to this thing,
it's encoding that it's sitting it off to some AI
model and some server somewhere, and then you know, the

(37:53):
AI model is coming up with this information. You know,
imagine if you sat down right now to chat BT
and asked about pack play and you've got that response. Well,
this tool is just basically providing an interface that you
can talk to do that. But again I'm not saying
that's all chat GPT, and that's part of what they
point out of this issue. No one is really sure
in some cases what models they're using. But the bottom

(38:15):
line is it's not just that you're getting these crazy responses,
it's you know, they're capturing all of this right.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
So in other words, Dave like, it's it's it's able
to interface the databases that have information on everything, right,
So that's why you're getting responses that are adult themed. Well,
if AI is so good and so smart and so easy,
why can't it be programmed to shut those things off
right and allow kid friendly responses? And when you ask

(38:44):
an adult question it says, I don't know. Is that
not easy to do?

Speaker 8 (38:49):
And in theory it could, you know, if you if
you said, okay, when I interface with this model, understand
this is a kid's toy and implement these guardrails. The
people building the toys built that in or the back
end AI models and some of them have that sort
of stuff. You know, there's age verification and there's you know, COMPA.
The Children's Online Protection Privacy Actor says, you're not supposed

(39:11):
to use this stuff at least you're thirteen anyway, But
we all know none of that works. And I would
argue the vast majority of this stuff is cheap Internet
of Things garbage like your doorbells and thrmostats and all
this other garbage coming from China. They not only don't
care about your privacy, may want to collect this data.
Right So, now that's just my opinion, but you know,

(39:32):
most of this stuff is coming out of China. There
are basically no rules they're collecting. Who knows what data
they're storing it for, who knows how long they're sharing
it with? Who knows who? So again, imagine even if
you take the AI part out of it for a second,
rock imagine this toy quote unquote sitting in your kid's
room and it's picking up all of your conversation with

(39:53):
your kids. It's picking up your kids conversations with other kids.
Who knows who has access to that, who knows what
they're doing with that, Who knows who that's being sold?
To or how long it's being stored.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
Just for that.

Speaker 8 (40:03):
Reason alone, I would never allow something else. You know,
none of my kids are old enough that just makes
any sense for them. But you know, if my kids
had grandkids, had their own kids, there's no way I
would let them buy it for our grandkids. Again, not
applicable to me at the moment, but again, if you
guys go read this article in detail. When I encourage
every one of their listeners to go look this up

(40:24):
and really read it in detail, it is shocking even
to me what some of these things are doing and
the seeming lack of guardrails are concerned about this. Are
apparently thousands of companies selling this garbage. Now, you know,
I don't know how popular it is, but I think
it's really important and I've been trying to raise the
alarm on this for some time now, so I appreciate

(40:45):
you guys let me talk about this today.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
You know.

Speaker 8 (40:47):
And in most cases, again, it looks like it's stuffed animal.
It looks like a cute little flower, it's a bunny.
You know, it looks really innocuous to a kid. Does
a kid understand that basically everything they're saying to it
is potentially stored forever, you know, wall on so many levels.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Yeah, I'm just trying to think if if there's restrictions
on what you can equip a child's toy with, right,
like if you go go to again we're talking to
the old days here, and I'm sure this is the issue.
Like you go to Toys r US and you buy
like a little you know, children's book that you know whatever.
It doesn't have explicit material in it, right, you just

(41:26):
know that it doesn't. But so is there some way
to for I mean, US manufacturers, can they like limit
the amount of reach that these AI things And hey,
if your toy that you're China, if you're trying to
bring this toy into America and sell it as a
kid's toy, it cannot allow these adult themed things. The

(41:47):
ones that do, we'll let in the ones that are.
The ones that don't, we'll let in the ones that do.
We're not gonna Can they do anything like that? Or
is just too complex?

Speaker 8 (41:55):
Well I think it's I mean it's within a realm
of possibility. But you'd have to test every one of
these things extensively, or they'd have to go through some
sort of standard's body like Good Housekeeping or something, and
get the Good Housekeeping consumer reports, you know, something like that.
And when you have potentially thousands of companies making these things,
I think it would be virtually impossible to do.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
And then you also have.

Speaker 8 (42:16):
To remember, guys understand the incentive. You know, when you
buy some sort of Internet of Things device, In many
cases it's almost free because they don't really care about
selling you the device. They care about getting you using
the device and collecting your data. Let me read one
last thing from the article here. Make O three, for instance,
which has a built in touch screen, a camera, and
a microphone, is designed to recognize each child's face and

(42:39):
voice periodically offers a type of internal currency called gyms.
When a child turns on a complete of task, gym's
redeemed for digital gifts. They're trying to get your kid
to use this thing as much as possible. I think
playing a slot machine in the GOPA getting the thing
so you know what your suggesting rock is well within
the realm of possibility. But I think it's very unlikely,

(43:01):
probably totally implausible. And again their incentives are all wrong.
They don't care about protecting your kids obviously, or they
wouldn't be releasing stuff like this in the first place.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
So yeah, essentially it's rewarding the kid for listening to it.

Speaker 8 (43:17):
Yeah, and playing with it and interacting with it and
using it more and more and more.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Denying you at at the expense of your parents.

Speaker 8 (43:27):
Yes, Well, in all these studies that show the kids
that have screens and spend extended times on screens and
social media, like Jonathan Hate, all your listeners should go
look into Jonathan Hate and all of his research. You know,
you guys may know Australia just recently had now a
full ban on social media for kids, and partially due
to these studies that are coming out showing the bad

(43:48):
mental health. You know, imagine how great it will be
for your kid to learn all about kinks from the
friendly bunny that's incentivizing them to keep using it. That's
going to be awesome.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
I just feel like, if I was a toy manufacturer
and the United States, is there any I don't know,
but if I came out with a toy and advertise
it as hey, this will not give your kids explicit
images or tell you how to how they should kill
yourself or any of that sort of stuff. It's like
parents would flock to that thing, right.

Speaker 8 (44:17):
That makes sense to me, especially in light of this,
But my guess is the vast majority of parents have
no idea. This is a concern. And you know, even
if you did all the stuff we've talked about, if
it was possible and they cared about doing it, you know,
there's this whole idea of jail breaking, you know, where
you purposely that your average kid wouldn't know how to
do this, but you're purposely trying to get the ll M,

(44:38):
the Large Language Model Jenai chatbots to do to do
things and tell you things they're not supposed to do.
So you know, even if you did all that stuff,
there's still the potential potentiality of jail breaking the thing,
but that would be beyond your average kid. So it's
it's a tricky problem.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
You know.

Speaker 8 (44:54):
In my mind, the best thing at this point is
awares and just saying there is no way I would
allow my kids to be exposed to this sort of thing.
It's really can people should go read this article in total.
It is quite mind blowing to me, and you know me,
I'm constantly on this stuff. This is like, wow, not
something I could have predicted.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
All right with that, Dave, we will let you go
be careful out there at Christmas time with your with
your kids. It could be telling you, it could be
telling your kids all kinds of mean and nasty things.
Thanks buddy, Thank you guys.

Speaker 8 (45:32):
I'm always my pleasure.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
See our good friend Dave Hatter. And remember tickle Me
Elmo was the height of you know, that was the
big technology thing, right.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
But but to that point, if tickle me Elmo all
of a sudden, yeah, if you asked, uh, you know whatever,
it says something back to you that was of an
adult nature, parents would been out raised. They would have
been that toy like that. But these these other toys
can just come in and there's nothing we can You're
telling me there's nothing we can do about it.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
I don't accept that, and I look I'm old, but
I remember when this first started. The earliest, the earliest
version of something like this was the you hit a
button on this little box and all it did was
laugh and people, people will know what I'm talking about,

(46:29):
and it's just like and it would just laugh like
that as long as you kept hitting the button, and
then they became. Then the next version was the fart machine,
of course. And now it's telling you that the Chinese
are good and America is bad.

Yes, but a pretty cool story this weekend, Philip Rivers
at the age of forty four. Yes, but I don't
like by the way, that's just because we had to
play against him. He was jerk. But nonetheless I put
that on that side, and I was rooting for the
story of him to come back. And he actually started
and played the game against the Seahawks. They lost by two,

(49:16):
but he had uh what his stats here? Or I
just just lost it anyway, had a touchdown, had an
interception last play of the game. But but you know,
overall did it okay?

Speaker 1 (49:33):
Well, there was one play I saw him drop back
and he fell down or it looked like he was
having a little k.

Speaker 17 (49:38):
A little hitch in the gudea up there. Yeah, it's
a rough time getting back up.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
But other than that, here is Yeah, eighteen of twenty
seven one hundred and twenty yards in a touchdown interception.
You know, so not you know, crazy good stats, but
for not playing in five years, and I just was cool.
After the game, he was talking about why he came
back and just how he just wanted to be a
teammate again and kind of be that's what players miss.

(50:05):
Every player you ask what do you miss most about
the NFL? It's the locker room. It's the guys and
the all the stuff you talk about and joking around
and you know, and you know, going and accomplishing a
goal together. So it was quoil. He got to uh
got to do that again.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
So now is he playing again? Because I haven't heard that.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
I believe so, because I don't mean yeah, he's yeah,
he started a week from tonight. So because Daniel Jones
is coming back, Anthony Richardson is still hurt. So here's
a couple of quotes here, like, shoot, sometimes there's a
doubt and it's real, he said while talking to the
postgame press conference. The guaranteed safe bet is to go

(50:46):
home and not to go for it. The other one
is shoot, let me see what happens. I hope in
that sense I can be a positive to someone, to
some young boy, some young boys or young people. Obviously
this doesn't come up every day, but I think it
will inspire or teach kids not to be not the
run or be scared of what mayor may or may

(51:07):
not happen. Hopefully, certainly. I think of my songs and
all those ballplayers that I coach that I'm in charge
of at the school that they'll say, crap, coach wasn't scared. Well, yeah,
and there's a great video of like his the players
he coaches like they're watching the game and cheering form
and stuff. Cool. So so I thought about this. You know,

(51:30):
how many years after I retired, did I think I
could still come back and do it? And I would say,
first two years out, if you gave me like an
off season to train, I think I could come back
and give you most of the season. And then after
that then it's started to fall off precipitously. Well, the

(51:51):
position you play, right, it's a little more rigorous than
the quarterback. Not the playing quarterback isn't hard, obviously it is,
but there's a little more involved in what you do
versus what he does. Correct Yeah, And I think and
then even like three years after, I always felt like
I could probably again give me a couple months to train.

(52:12):
I could probably give you a game, but but you know,
the rigors of an entire at the time sixteen game season. No,
that that is what after the first two years out
then I was like, no, couldn't couldn't do that anymore.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Open field, You're running and Chase Brown is running right
at you full bore, and you're running right at him
full bore.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
What happens at age forty five? Yeah, I'm a I'm
a pancake on the ground. I mean, look, if you
just throw me right there, I do enough to not
embarrass myself. But you know, get it, it's it's not
even one play. I mean, you know again now at
forty five, at forty I think I could come back

(52:56):
and like, you know, run down on a couple of kickoffs.
I could do that right in a game, you know. Well,
but now zero, I don't have one play.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
It kills me being a sixty eight year old man
and hearing when I hear you know, Joe Burrows almost thirty.
Oh god, he's this is it's almost over? Like shut up? Yeah, yeah,
what I got to live for.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
But let's face it, as technology and humans and training
and uh everything to do with training and uh and
how you eat and and all the supplements available in
YadA YadA, YadA, and on and on and on, and

(53:46):
thirty isn't what thirty used to be, and by the
same token, neither is forty. And then you know they're
acting like I mean Philip Rivers. Yeah, I've seen forty
four year olds a better shape in him, but forty
four that ain't ancient. Back in the day, George Blandam,

(54:07):
I think he was forty six and he was playing quarterback.
He was kicking, and he played quarterback for a little
bit for the Raider.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
He's the oldest, yeah, non court and kicker ever.

Speaker 17 (54:17):
He was one of those guys that was probably over
there smoking Marlboroughs and having a scotch.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
Back then, the guys they were twenty five and they
looked forty five.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
You know there was something about that, like it was
like I saw a video. It was uh, Terry Bradshaw
in like his second or third year, and he looked
like he was forty two. And it's like, no, he's like,
you know twenty six in that picture.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
What there was a uh it's funny you say that
because there was a guy I don't even remember. I
don't remember which what game we were watching yesterday. They're
talking about a Yeah, he's a he's an older, you know,
older vet and the guy took his helmet off, and
uh and Deb and I were sitting there watching in
the game. She goes, that guy looks like he's about

(55:02):
forty eight years old, and he did, and he was
probably about thirty five maybe maybe.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
But no, I mean a you know, you're right, forty
is the new thirty. Yeah, have you seen the you
know they talk about the you know, the show The
Golden Girls was about a bunch of girls and you know,
like they're in there like fifty right, Well, now you
know they compared like, you know, Sophia Virgara is fifty,

(55:30):
and she'll look like the Golden Girls, right like it's
you know, there's better nutrition, better procedures, better doctors, better
everything out there.

Speaker 8 (55:40):
Now.

Speaker 1 (55:41):
Well that's shoot, I forget which show would to that
point all these people who are supposed to be old
and a TV show and everybody was and it might
have been even The Golden Girls, Yeah, where they're supposed
to be like the lady who was supposed to be
the old.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
Old lady, Yeah, the oldest one.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
Yeah, she was like fifty one or something and they
dared made her and she was playing like eighty or
whatever the hell it was. Yeah, let's uh, let's talk
to Brett here right quick. Hey, Brett, you're weighing in
on this. What's going on in Mason?

Speaker 4 (56:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 27 (56:19):
Do you guys remember the movie North Dallas forty Oh? Yeah,
remember that Nick Maulty and Matt David Davis.

Speaker 5 (56:29):
Now those guys were, yeah.

Speaker 27 (56:31):
Getting old and trying to stay in the game and
shooting up their knees with drugs and smoking cigarettes in
the locker room. I don't know if you guys remember
that here. I don't know, Rocky did they used to
smoke cigarettes when you guys would work out and stuff.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
No, they didn't do that. But my linebacker coach gun
Through Cunningham would always talk about how, like at halftime,
like when because he had been in the league like
thirty years in two thousand and two, right, and he
talked about it. At halftime, like all the players would
would drink drink coke, like cans of coke, right, he said, yeah,

(57:06):
And there'd be a couple of guys that would go
out and you know, grab you know, the smoke real
quick and come back in and that's just wild, right,
totally wild.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
Well, that's I remember because the only reason I always
quote talk about Buddy Bell is because I loved when
Buddy Bell was playing. Uh what I always heard just
the old stories from the Reds when he was when
you know, when he wasn't on the field, he was
up the tunnel having a smoke.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
And uh. I feel like if if I were like
a especially baseball if I were a young baseball player
and I was like a like a good player, I
feel like that would be endearing the fans. If I
was you know, it was in between Indies, was in
the in the uh, in the tunnel, they were grabbing
a smoke. I think fans would think that was the coolest,

(57:56):
funniest thing in the world.

Speaker 1 (57:57):
Well, you can, you can see it. Remember Landy Dawson.
You don't remember it before you were born, but Landy
Dawson was quarterback for the Chiefs, I believe when they
were Super Bowl years and back in the sixties. And
there's a couple of famous pictures of himself on the
sideline having a couple having a smoke on the bitch
during the game.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Yeah, I remember my my football coach in seventh grade
would would smoke during practice and it was like no
one thought that was a big deal at all. But
now if that happened, oh my god, there'd be the moms,
you know, the message chains and all that stuff would
go absolutely nuts. Yeah, it's what Jim Bartel was his name.

(58:40):
He smoked cigarettes right there.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Man, what I do When I was a kid, when
I'm uh, when I was eight years old. I was
when I first started in the Litle League. I was
the bad boy for the look for the team that
all my friends played on. So they had me be
the bad boy because I wasn't old enough to play yet.
And I remember that guy he was. It was like
bad knew his bears. He was probably drunk the whole

(59:02):
time he was there, but he was always walking around
smoking a cigarette, going nah, I got there and cheg
some flies.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
Yeah, I mean smoking in general. I don't does anybody
really smoke anymore? I don't see because I was because
on well, you know, on Friday, I was sick right
big time.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
So Matt, you should have seen this guy. Oh man,
I thought I was like, dude, I'm gonna lose you
here any minute.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
So anyway, so I was like I park myself on
the couch and the movie I watched a movie Fight Club,
because I never I always I always loved that movie.
I hadn't seen it in years. I never did to
watch it. And the movie or the woman or Marla
singers and she smokes all the time inside. And I
thought to myself, if I was in a restaurant or
somewhere and or even like an off like just whatever

(59:49):
anywhere and somebody started letting up a cigarette, everyone looked like,
what the hell are you doing? But back then, and
that was in early two thousands, it was like no
one really bad than I was, just I like, okay,
they're smoking. I don't really like it, but oh well.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
That's when I quit smoking. When you couldn't smoke in
bars anymore. Yeah, like you're drinking poison, but yet I
can't smoke a cigarette. Okay, fair enough.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
I quit.

Speaker 21 (01:00:13):

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
Yeah, and uh and thanks Mike. And but talking about football,
well you're talking about smoking inside and stuff like that.
Trumpy was famous for that. When he was working at
this radio station back in the old radio you know,
in the old studios downtown especially, it looked like a

(01:03:27):
freaking sauna in there, just because of this. It looked
like a sauna you can't see in because of like
a steam room. You can't see it because of the steam. No,
you couldn't see it in that in that thing, because
there was smoke.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
Now to Day's hell, Trumpy, he couldn't smoke.

Speaker 5 (01:03:42):
You could have tried, That.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
Was what I was getting at. I think everyone said, hey, uh, hell, no,
you're not allowed to smoke in here.

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
I bet he said no, you could, you were allowed
to smoke inside. But did Trump? He took it next
level man. He was he definitely took it seriously.

Speaker 5 (01:03:58):
He smoked.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
Did they even still have the I remember at airports
they used to have like a room where you could
go in and and so. But I feel like I
haven't seen him in a while. Yeah, I mean, like
passing through Atlanta Airport, I feel like I've not seen
like a smoking lounge anymore. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
I know down in Tampa, I've flown out of there
a few times.

Speaker 4 (01:04:22):
They have.

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
I don't know if they still haven't, but they have
like a smoke smoker's cage. You were outside, okay, yeah,
outside the terminal and you would be in this little
you know, like I'm literally a cage smoking. So I
don't know if they still had that on, but yeah,
I was in one of those again back when I

(01:04:44):
was smoking. I went into a couple of those. I
forget what airport it was in, but yeah, you walk
into this whatever thirty by thirty room and everybody's in there.

Speaker 8 (01:04:54):
It's like.

Speaker 1 (01:04:56):
And they say they have smoked withdrawals a system, but not.
Let's stalk to Rex right quick, Hey Rex, what do
you have?

Speaker 8 (01:05:06):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
Hey?

Speaker 21 (01:05:07):
I was blessed to get to work for the Bengals
from sixty nine to seventy four in Wilmington, and Trumpy
would go back at the back of the training room
in the equipment room, and Tom Gray was the equipment
manager and he was a heavy smoker. And Marvin Pollins
of course was the trainer. But Trump would set back
in the back of the training room and the equipment

(01:05:27):
room and smoky cigarettes before they go out on the
field and practice during summer camp. And then I was
I answered the phones for a big dog over at
eleven sixty Bob. And then when Trumpy came home with
the two angry guys, he would go in the bathrooms
during the commercial breaks and stuff and set in the
toilet stalls and blow smoke out the vents. There was

(01:05:50):
one stal it had a vent in it. He'd blow
the smoked up the vent and when you'd walk in here,
the whole bathroom spill like cigarettes. He was a heavy,
heavy smoker man. Yeah, the greatest, the greatest rough laugh
that I that I've ever heard. I laughed it lessen
Toiam laughing.

you get smoking? I smoked on airplanes. God hell yeah, yeah,
new kids.

Speaker 2 (01:06:26):
But again I don't remember that. But I remember just
when you could be at a restaurant and just light
up a cigarette and no one. If that happened today again,

Speaker 2 (01:12:53):
We do, and laugh. We like talking to you after
Bengals wins. But yesterday was any thing but that I
commonly lap. It looked to me early in the game,
like like the players were cold. They looked cold, they
looked uncomfortable. Did you sense that early in the game
as you were watching it from the booth?

Speaker 3 (01:13:15):
I guess I can understand why you would, why you
would think that the way they played, yeah, I mean
looked like they were playing stone cold, stiff, you know.
I mean yeah, they just no, not any phase, not
any one of the three phases offense, defense, or special teams,
you know, just played well. They just they stuck up

(01:13:38):
the joint. Yes, today, there's no question about it. They
were They were just awful. They were terrible. I mean,
I'm surprised too. I thought they'd play a lot better.
I thought they'd start to strain some wins together. I
thought they'd win the last four games, you know, of
the regular season, and you know, make a good showing
down the stretch and build a little foundation for next year.

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
But yeah, that is there anything of that jumped out
at your lap that you were particularly disappointed in.

Speaker 3 (01:14:08):
I just lack of energy, lack of enthusiasm. Yeah, I'm
not going to question their effort. You know, I think
I think they wanted to play well. I think they
wanted to win the football game. But man, they just
I don't know, lack of days ago may be too
strong a word, but they just weren't into it. You know,
they weren't playing with any I guess the enthusiasm, effort, energy,

(01:14:30):
the three e's they were missing yesterday big time. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
And to me, Lap is the offense. You know, they
are driving down the field. They had three drives, you know,
got inside the Ravens like thirty thirty five yard line
and you come away with no points. And I think
that kind of thing on a day like that at Snowballs,
right pun intended, where you know it's like, you know,

(01:14:58):
it's as already we're all kind of uncomfort well here,
this kind of sucks. But if we can get some
positive momentum early with something good could happen, then you
capture the momentum and the other team kind of wilts. Well,
they never could capture any and yeah, then then you
started to really getting your own feels a little bit
about the environment and all that, and that's looked like
exactly what happened.

Speaker 3 (01:15:19):
Yeah, I mean, you're right, they couldn't get anything going.
You know. They inconsistent was their name of their game yesterday.
The opposite of consistency. Inconsistency, total inconsistency. I mean, you know,
run the football decently. Uh, you know, they gave up
a bunch of big plays. I mean, you know, Baltimore

(01:15:40):
hit some big plays. There's there's no doubt Jackson he
only threw the ball ten times and uh and had
big plays and get some yards and points because of that.
But the Bengals many they'd hit a hit, a run
and then you know, go backwards, you know, or or
or not gaining not gaining the yard, not gain an inch,
and that that inconsistency every every level offense, defense, special teams.

(01:16:05):
You know, uh, nobody was lifting the other one. There
was there was no uh you know, compatibility, no uh,
you know, feeding off the other, the other unit, the
other phase of the football team that was struggling. So
they're trying to lift the lift the entire boat. They
really really had had an off day yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:16:23):
Well, things going to be different than in Miami, well,
at least weatherwise. I think if they have to worry
about snow and ice, then the stuff's gone wrong for us.
But is this let me ask both of you guys,
is this the type of thing that can carry over
or do you just you have to man up and go, hey,
this isn't us.

Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
Well, I think lab at this point, look obviously now
mathematically and otherwise that the season is over, but there's
three games left. I think if you're a player on
this team, you're auditioning for a role next year, saying, hey,
they're certainly not going to bring this whole team back.
They better not because we didn't make the playoffs and
had a horrible season. So what do I got to

(01:17:05):
do to make sure I'm one of the handful of
people that they are going to bring back? Right? I
mean that's how you got to look at this thing.
This is a three game audition and to see if
you belong on this team.

Speaker 3 (01:17:17):
Yeah, I think that's a fair point. Rocket, I think
it's a point well taken. You know, audition, try to
put your best foot forward, play well, make some plays,
help your team win. Audition to come back next year.
Worst case scenario, you're auditioning for another team. I mean
they're in a thirty one other teams in the National
Football League. You know they're not going to keep all

(01:17:40):
of their players, the ones that particularly had a bad season,
like the Bengals. You know they're looking to a cleanhouse
as well. There's going to be a turnover of players
every year. There's a turnover of players in the National
Football League. Are you're going to be one that survives?
You're going to be one that continues your career. You know,
you don't want to be a guy that just plays
two or three years. You want to be a guy
that play seven or eight years. You know, And this

(01:18:03):
is a this is a turning point. It's a it's
a time where you know you've got to put up
or shut up, and uh, you got to go make
some plays and get it done.

Speaker 1 (01:18:13):
We're talking to Dave Lapham and guys. Yeah, but the
last three games are rock You just brought it up
an audition. Are you going to let the not necessarily
second teamers play? But guys, you want to give a
good look to and give them a hard look and
let them play a little bit more of what are
you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
I think they should, right lap, Let's get a look at,
you know, some of the guys that maybe made some
plays on the special teams and just see if they can,
you know, let them play a little bit more defense
or offense. And and yeah, I think it's right now.
It's everything's about next year. It's about making sure you
know the top players that arguably around, making sure they

(01:18:54):
you know, stay healthy, but you still want them to
be productive, if you still want them to go out
there and not flop around. But then yeah, find out
the eyes that that you maybe don't know enough of.
You only can really find out about a player by
seeing them actually play the game. There's so few times
you can see that in practice or even pre preseason anymore.
Preseason isn't even that great for evaluating talent. So let's

(01:19:16):
let's get out there. It's a real game. Let's see
who going to run around and make some plays. I'd
give them some chances, right yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:19:23):
I mean, you know this is in the in the
National Football League. One way that you can earn your
key is on special teams. I mean if you go
out there and and your hell raiser on special teams
and you're something a demon here, you know, and and uh,
the coaches all talk, they all they all get together

(01:19:43):
and talk about you know, players and things that are
going on with the football team and who deserves to
get more reps? Who deserves to get more So yeah,
I think I think, you know, special teams is in
a great way to of yourself. And then it's bought
with Cincinnati. There are thirty one other teams in the NFL.

(01:20:04):
You know that could that could use you know, a
guy that plays like that on special teams and has
a one for the game of football to that extent
where you know, sacrifice is bodany and do the things
you have to do to be a special team star.
So you know, there's there's plenty of opportunity out there
with with other teams potentially as well.

Speaker 2 (01:20:25):
So lap on another note, and I don't even know
how we got on the topic, but we were talking
about how it used to be more socially acceptable to
be able to smoke right like in public and restaurants,
just out and about, and then somehow morphed into like
in the old days of you know the players the
baseball like Buddy Eddie mentioned, Buddy Bell would would get

(01:20:46):
a cigarette like in the tunnel. Now in your days
of playing labed it, do you remember any of the
players grabbing a cigarette after practice or even a halftime
of a game or anything like that.

Speaker 3 (01:21:00):
Yeah, man, Bob Trumpy we were talking about Trump has
a radio.

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
I don't know he did as a player.

Speaker 3 (01:21:08):
Oh man, I mean he he would. He would smoke
Winston's the Lucky Strikes no filters man, you know, and
he'd be couple a couple of those bad boys, couple
him in his hand, you know, and you have a
nicotine stains on his fingers. He he'd smoked it down
to the last little bit. Yeah, Trump, he was. Trumpy
was definitely addicted.

Speaker 16 (01:21:28):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:21:28):
He loved his tobacco.

Speaker 2 (01:21:31):
Oh so funny. What about like get what you know?
Now the players drink you know, Pedia light and gatorade
and stuff. What were they drinking at halftime lap when
you played? Anything?

Speaker 8 (01:21:43):
Different?

Speaker 3 (01:21:45):
No that you know, gatorade, U, Pedia light. I didn't
know much about It's uh. The gatorade was was the
drink of choice and all all different kinds man, green,
orange head. You know you had a different a different flavor.
What's the flavor of the day. That was a big deal. Guys,

(01:22:06):
go in and check out what's what was in store
for them for Gatorade breaks.

Speaker 1 (01:22:11):
All right, well, Lap, we we'll let you go, buddy.
What do you got coming up on the big show tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:22:17):
Yeah. I got a lot of a lot of reaction
to the football game. You know, Zach Taylor caught up
with him. He's done his presser that he had as
well to the to the mass media, and I didn't
one on one with him after the football game. We'll
we'll run that. A lot of reaction from players offense defense.

(01:22:37):
The good news is, you know, there's no finger point
going on. You know, everybody's basically accepting blame for their
share of the disappointment. There's no nothing. You know, the
team's not crumbling, that's for sure. It's a they're gonna
they're gonna stick stick together and stay behind each other.

Speaker 1 (01:22:56):
All right, Lap, you take care and have fun down
in Miami on Sunday. Got to feel better what it
did yesterday, that's for damn sure.

Speaker 3 (01:23:05):
I hear that. Well, I'll have a little my tie
down there for you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:23:10):
I have a cigarette two laugh, you know what that
old time sick.

Speaker 3 (01:23:16):
I might have to I'm have to burn a stick.

Speaker 2 (01:23:20):
Why not? You're in my laugh?

Speaker 1 (01:23:23):
You remember Rock was looking at me like you could
smoke on the airplanes.

Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
I was like, I did it? Are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:23:30):
That's unbelievable, buddy. You take care all.

Speaker 3 (01:23:34):
Right, guys, good stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:23:35):
Appreciate you.

Speaker 17 (01:23:36):
You are our good friend. Dave Lapham and uh Lap
might have a little case of the.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
You maybe don't need a cigarette. He looked like you
had a little smoker's throat going.

Speaker 1 (01:23:50):
Yesterday. But talking that long and that cold weather, it's
not like you know, yeah, you're not sitting out there
and uh in the freezing cold. There's a little heat
in the booth. But still that's that's rough.

Speaker 2 (01:24:04):
Yeah, yeah, well that I mean usually I'm not sure.
I don't know if they have a closed booth or open,
but usually announcers like like there to be an open
booth because you feel the feel the game better. Okay,
also close okay, which now a game like that, I'm

(01:24:24):
usually want to open the windows, but not one. I
would have said they're staying closed because then right, you
know point you know, well U should be best for
doing my job and freezing and single degree, single digit temperatures.

Speaker 1 (01:24:38):
No, you're back there at the hot dog bar like you.
I wanted relish for God's sake. Look at Chase Brown
just scored a touchdown. Few people work. I've seen that act?

Speaker 17 (01:24:53):

This report is sponsored by Jake Swiney Automotive serving the
tri State for over one hundred years.

Speaker 1 (01:26:48):
It's red Tag time at Jake Swinney Chevrolet to get
all right back with Eddie and Rocky and this horrific
situation out in LA with this uh with the robber
and his wife and their son for goods.

Speaker 2 (01:27:02):
Yeah, I think it was the son who had a
very troubled life is the one that might have been responsible.

Speaker 17 (01:27:08):
And to hear to talk to us about it from
ABC as Mike Debreuski and Mike, what is the very latest?

Speaker 9 (01:27:16):
Yeah, the latest is that Rob Reiner's son, Nick Reiner,
has been taken into custody by the LAPD. That happened
this morning. Sources tell ABC News that he has booked
on suspicion of murder and he's being held with no bail.
He's not yet been charged with anything, just that suspicion
of murder idea though that is expected to come within

(01:27:37):
the next few hours several charges, so we'll keep an
eye on that. So this is also say it was
Reiner's daughter who found her mom and her dad stabbed
to death inside their home yesterday. Investigators are staying pretty
tight lift about exactly where in the home this happened
or exactly how this timeline played out. We are told
that detectives are actively talking to all family members to

(01:28:00):
better understand Nick Reiner's recent behavior, and this comes as
more stories about his behavior over the last few days
and weeks starts to emerge. Friends who were recently at
the Reiner's house for their holiday party, many celebrities and
attendance there actually witnessed the son acting erradically, they say.

(01:28:20):
ABC also spoke with a security guard who worked for
the Reiner family and he said that Nick was troubled
and antisocial and that it was pretty clear he had
a substance abuse issue that he was working through. He
would often leave the house in the middle of the
night because the person he had called was dropping something
off around the corner. So a lot of different elements
here to piece together.

Speaker 5 (01:28:41):
Again.

Speaker 9 (01:28:42):
Nick Reiner not facing charges at this moment, though we
do expect that to happen relatively soon, and some context here, guys,
this is not a new issue for Nick Reiner. Reiner,
Rob Reiner and Nick Reiner collaborated on a film about
ten years ago called Being Charlie. The movie was actually
inspired by nick struggles with drug and alcohol abuse and

(01:29:03):
the subsequent challenges that the family endured. So they talked
about this openly for many years, and it was clearly
a point of struggle for this family, and it has
come to a pretty dark conclusion unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (01:29:16):
Now, Mike, did Nick live at the home of Robin
Michelle or was he visiting? What was the story there?

Speaker 9 (01:29:22):
Yeah, he did live with his parents, so that he
was in the house at the time, and the Reiners
have several properties on this street. This is a street
in Brentwood, California, so this you know, it's possible that
he lived in one house and then you know, came
over to the other house. It's isn't clear at this point. However, again,

(01:29:43):
if we just go back to this security guard interview
that ABC did, this guard says that he didn't really
display any signs of violence necessarily, and in fact, when
the guard first learned of rob and Michelle Reiner's death,
he assumed it was a home invasion of some kind.
And interestingly enough, the LA in the sort of overnight
hours actually brought in the hobbicide but also the robbery

(01:30:04):
units to investigate this. So it really does speak to
the confusion especially early on as to what was going
on here. This we think started to play out around
three point thirty on the West coast. That's when the
Los Angeles Fire Department the Paramedics Division responded to a
call at this home where they discovered the bodies of
Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle, who's been married to

(01:30:27):
since the late nineteen eighties. Hollywood guys is very much
in shock today as well, and Rob Reiner is obviously
an enormous figure in this industry. We sawt last night
Billy Crystal and Larry David show up to this house
to pay theirs, and Crystal, according to an eyewitness, said
he looked like he was near tears.

Speaker 17 (01:30:44):
Mike Dobuski from ABC News, is is our guest talking
about the Rob Reiner murder?

Speaker 3 (01:30:51):
So?

Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (01:30:52):
Had he try? Had Nick Reiner tried to flee the scene?
Do we know anything of that nature?

Speaker 2 (01:30:57):
Mike?

Speaker 17 (01:30:58):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (01:30:58):
No?

Speaker 9 (01:30:59):
It's really big, many fail.

Speaker 1 (01:31:00):
What happened.

Speaker 9 (01:31:03):
Unclear at this point. We do know that he was
taken into custody this morning, so unclear if he went
home or went somewhere else overnight, or or what exactly.
The timeline here is We want to be very careful,
you know, with obviously what we say. We would kind
of like defer to the LAPD on this particular incident,
just because it can. These things can change, right, and

(01:31:25):
something that seems obvious in the first hours after a
tragic incident like this can very much change on a dime.
So really, all we know at this point is that
Nick Reiner is in custody, booked on suspicion of murder,
but we don't know any specific charges related to that booking.
He's not being held with bail, which I think is interesting,

(01:31:46):
and that he has had a history of substance abuse issues,
you know, going back, you know, more than ten years
at this point.

Speaker 1 (01:31:55):
All right, with that, Mike, we will let you go.
Thanks so much, of course. Thanks Mane A very obviously
fluid situation.

Speaker 2 (01:32:03):
And he's one that I I didn't know how many
big movies the guy did. I knew he was, I
knew he did, you know, stand by Me and and
all that, but uh, I remember he did. Uh this
is spinal Tap, which is a great, you know, kind
of parody of metal music.

Speaker 1 (01:32:21):
Uh, he was great in that misery and that's that's
one of those movies where I wanted to watch it
over Halloween again. But that's one of those that my
wife says, I'm not watching that ever again.

Speaker 2 (01:32:36):
It's funny because I did watch it was on TV,
and I watched it, you know, recorded and watched it
a little bit here and pieces, and it's it's really good, man,
it's great movie. But it's Kathy Bags plays the role
of a crazy person very well.

Speaker 1 (01:32:54):
See, thank you for saying that, because is she acting?

Speaker 21 (01:32:59):
Or?

Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
I always said? That's what I said to dev I
was like, see, you have to be kind of crazy
to be able to act that crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:33:09):
Yeah. I always say that about what's the movie Gone Girl?
Oh yeah, I always say that. I thought the woman
who played the nutty wife and not yeah, I thought
she nailed that to that same point where it's like
is she acting or is she? I mean, she's really
really good because she plays that role of a psycho

(01:33:30):
woman very well.

Speaker 3 (01:33:32):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:33:33):
Have you ever seen the movie One Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Nest.

Speaker 2 (01:33:37):
I'm not Jack Nicholson, right.

Speaker 1 (01:33:39):
Yeah Nicholson, and he's in an insane asylum. He's faking
being crazy. Well, he's crazy and Jack Nicholson crazy way
but he's faking crazy to get out of criminal charges,
so they put him in this asylum. So he's in
there with real crazy people. Well what and apparently some
of the back around people were actual asylum patients. But

(01:34:04):
some of the guys that all the guys that he
interacts with are actors. I want you to watch that
movie and see some of the people. Doc Brown from.

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
Uh Back to the Future. Yeah, watch him in that movie.
He seems a little crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:34:23):
Watch Danny DeVito in that Danny DeVito. Really when I
saw that movie, I really, honestly God thought there was
something wrong with him because that was because that was
before he became famous.

Speaker 2 (01:34:34):
Yeah, but I guess that's why these are some of
the best actors in the world, because they they cannot well.

Speaker 1 (01:34:42):
Did you ever see that movie What's Eating Gilbert?

Speaker 2 (01:34:44):
Grape bits and pieces?

Speaker 1 (01:34:47):
Leono de Dicatrio and that, because that's where before I'd
even heard him, and I said, I can't believe that.

Speaker 2 (01:34:54):
Kid is they cast a mentally challenged kid. He did
good job. He killed me.

Speaker 1 (01:35:00):
Yeah, No, he's perfect. It's like, no, that's the kid.
He was like a you know, one of the kids
on growing pains or something.

Speaker 2 (01:35:09):
And he was on Titanic not long after that, correct
in other news that and I never thought about this,
but this is something you might see more of with these,
you know, more and more of these driverless cars going around,
these driverless taxis. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So this is in LA.
A woman in Los Angeles upload a video to her

(01:35:32):
TikTok of a man looking over the back seat of
a driverless taxi that she had booked. So basically, someone
was hiding in the back seat or the trunk of
a driverless car. Wow. You know, she had ordered this
car for her daughter, right to come pick her daughter
up or whatever, And I guess somehow saw a video.

(01:35:52):
There's like a guy in there. So that's one more
thing you got to think about here. Okay, that's a
driverless car would be safe, isn't that? What if somebody's
kind of hiding in the back of the thing and
naps your kid get in there. Though mother said she
showed a clip to raise awareness to not many people
would check the trunk before getting into their ride. LAPD

(01:36:16):
officers told the News that the man was not arrested
to the fact that no crime was committed. Well, why
in the back of a driverless car. Why in the
in the trunk of the thing? How'd you get there?
No crowd In the video, the driverless actually waits with
the passenger door open as the woman pushes her phone
into the car and asked, why the f are you

(01:36:38):
in the trunk? A man was squeezed behind the back
seat with his face pressed against the head rest. He
waved his hand and hastily said, I'm trying to figure
this out. Uh, it won't let me out of here.

Speaker 17 (01:36:53):
Bla ba by.

Speaker 2 (01:36:55):
Man repeatedly punched the back seat before the concerned mother
asked again, why are you in there? Quote? They just
put me in here, he answered, prompting her to ask
the question who puts you in? Stuttering, the man said
the people? So it was a crazy person.

Speaker 1 (01:37:10):
Well who was It's like that guy last week that
stole the car and said somebody had been teleported into
the car.

Speaker 2 (01:37:17):
Maybe, Oh yeah, it was them.

Speaker 1 (01:37:18):
It's going around So.

Speaker 2 (01:37:19):
Anyway, I thought that was just one more thing to
worry about. Is there in this?

Speaker 1 (01:37:24):
I ain't taking the driverless car anytime soon. With that,
we check in with traffic and weather. What is going
on
