Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, back with Eddie and Rocky and rock the
As the information on the Ryaner murder case comes out
and drips and drabs, it's pretty obvious. It's not pretty obvious.
It's obvious what happened.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, and it's pretty grossly from what we've been confirmed today.
He slipped their throats while they were in bed, you know.
And and just I mean, here's a troubled kid. Say kid,
he's thirty two years old. He's not a kid, but
you know he's lived there at the house, you know,
on and off drugs, mostly on drugs. His whole life
just you know, led a terrible existence here, and now

(00:36):
two people are dead.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Let's talk to our legal authority.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Here.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Our go to guy Jeremy Rosenthal. He's been a prosecutor,
he's been a defense attorney. He knows all, sees all.
Jeremy as always a pleasure to have you. So, Jeremy,
Rocky and I were talking about this. Why was this
guy walking free? It's whatever happened to institutional licensing? Somebody?

(01:01):
Can you do that? I don't know how that works.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Well, it's interesting that you say that the mental health
system for America has a name, and that name is jail.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
And there's just not a lot of ways to look.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
The writers were obviously suffering from what I think a
lot of American families suffer from, and that is having
a loved one.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
That is that's.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
An addict, and not just an addict, but a very
very severe one. We're talking heroin, We're talking met them, fetamine.
We're talking over fifteen stints if I'm understanding it, rehab
we're talking about we're talking about homelessness. There's a lot
of families that have a loved one that kind of

(01:54):
fit into this category. And I'll tell you this degree
of violence is generally not associated with that. So you know,
we all sort of kind of get our heads around
the drug offenders, the mental health offenders, and and and
this is really it's really hard to see something like
this coming, right.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
But to the point on the mental hospital. There used
to be a mental hospital here locally called Longview State
Mental Hospital. And you know, and and a lot of
folks would say, yeah, if you walked around inside of it,
it was not a you know, it was kind of
a scary place. But the point was, you know, it
was a place where people that were dealing with either
you know, they had a wing that was dedicated. If

(02:37):
you were addicted to drugs, you were there. And if
you just had standard, uh you know, mental issues, you
were over here on this side. But you know, you
got three meals a day, you got your warm they
had programs for you, and you could you know, it
was a place where if you wanted to leave and
showed that you could, you could get out of there.
But if not, you could stay there. But these mental

(03:00):
institutions went away, Jeremy, why is that? Why don't you
don't see these anymore? And to your point, Jay has
now become the de facto mental hospital in our society.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
I saw the movie about that place, the one in
Cincinnati and the guy kidnapped one of the people to
see Fernando Valenzuela pitch in Los Angeles, remember rain Man.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
That was not a documentary, Jeremy.

Speaker 6 (03:29):
That was.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
The answer to your question in all seriousness is money.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
It's funding. That's the difference.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Is that it is really hard to These types of
places are not very popular and and if you can
fund them, you're getting you know, look, you in most
instances when you're talking about rehabilitative places and just and
to kind of even back up on that for a
second too. So, so let's talking about rehab places, the

(04:01):
vast majority of which are going to be private, which
means that it's sort of in many ways pay to play, right, uh,
And and you know, and and so a lot of
those places are unattainable.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
For for most folks.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Insurance is not going to necessarily cover those things.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
But the other part is that they're voluntary, right.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
You have to have a legal reason to put somebody
into a facility, and and the the the measure for
just straight mental issues. We you know, we have a constitution,
you have due process. Doesn't matter how how many you know,
how problems you are, it is really really hard to

(04:46):
have somebody committed.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
The most common And that's why I say jail is.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
The most common, uh one, because jail's the one that
kind of cuts through all the due process. It's the
one that's sort of is obvious, and it's the one
that tends to draw the authorities.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
And it's that's when we can force people.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
To do things that that they don't necessarily want to do,
even if they need it.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
So it's it's it's.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Very hard on the due process liberty front. It's very hard,
and it's very hard to fund these things too.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
But what about I understand everything you said, but what
about the constitutional due process of society, A society that
doesn't want to go downtown and have people using drugs
right on the streets. You look at some of these
major cities there. They live on the streets because they
want to live on the streets, not because they're forced to.
They want to live that lifestyle and do their drugs

(05:40):
openly right on the street and and just kind of
live there. What about the people that are doing the
right thing in society, why should they have to deal
with it?

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Well that that's exactly the point, and that's exactly the
crux of this entire problem is. You know that the
Constitution applies to individuals, it's in individual's.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Rights, you know.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
But in the government, it's the government that's on the
other side of the constitution. And it's the government's job to,
you know, look to not take away people's rights. But
it's the government's job to make sure that your streets
are clean.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
That's what your tax.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Dollars are for, to make sure that there's no potholes,
that the that the you know, that that that everything's
working and and things like that and that, and that
you're you're not in danger when you go downtown. So
it's that it's that constant struggle between the individual's rights
and those extremes.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
But it's just really really hard.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
It's hard to put people in a cage and unless.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
You're you know, whether they're whether.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
They have it coming or whether they don't have it coming.

Speaker 5 (06:48):
And and look, I mean, if it was as easy.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
Like you know, just to kind of use a Dallas example,
you know, j R. Ewing, that guy would have his
loved ones thrown.

Speaker 5 (06:56):
In the in the in the in the whatever place.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
You know, he would have you signed some fake documents
and the next thing you know, you were committed and
he's there stealing your oil.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
It's not that simple.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
It's just not that easy to have somebody put away.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
And this, you know what I'm reading about.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
All this, you know with Rob Reiner, that was a
very very complicated relationship with that with his son. And
I'll tell you this much too, of all the families
that are out there that are struggling with.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
This kind of addiction, a lot of times.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Money like the Riders had, is a curse and not
a blessing. And that is because you can constantly rescue
the attic who doesn't need it, who needs to hit bottom?

Speaker 5 (07:42):
Right?

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Who needs to I'm not saying anybody needs to be homeless,
but sometimes I can't tell you how many parents I've
dealt with that say, thank God, my son, my daughter
is in jail at.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
Least I know so safe.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
And so that is that's why I and you hear
a lot about enabling. And I don't know that that's
what was going on here. But he was living in
the back house. They had a fight apparently at Conan
O'Brien's house the night before. I mean, who hasn't had
that happen, right, I mean, I know you guys were
more than the thing.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Well, I had left. It's funny because I had left
Conan's right before the fight started.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
Uh right, So.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
But I did hear about it. But but but but
let me ask you, Jeremy. They so there's nothing you
could do as a parent, because apparently these poor people
were living in fear the last days of their life.
They knew that this kid was all kinds of whacked you.
So there's really nothing you can do about except try
to wait for him to do something seriously wrong.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, it's very very reactive. There's nothing right. It seems like,
you know, our whole society thing is very reactive instead
of being proactive about things. And in a lot of
different instances, but to Eddie's point in this case, yeah,
can we do something before the tragedy happens? Instead of
looking back, you say, no, we should we should have
done this.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Well, this is this is look, this is the classic debate.
And I guarantee you there's people listening to this that
have that.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
Have fought this fight before.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
There are a lot of parents out there that will
cut their cut the kid.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
Off, you know.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
And And when I was a very junior lawyer and
I was accepting court appointed cases, one of the very
first types of cases that you get are low level
drug offenses.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
And I learned very very quickly that these types of addicts,
that these types.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
Of offenders, they build all these houses of cards and Okay,
pick up the phone, I call Uncle Jimmy, Omaha, and
Uncle Jimmy and Omaha says that guy's dead to me,
never call me again. And that's because the offender has
burned through everybody in their family. Uh, their resources, lying, stealing,

(10:01):
credit card abuse, anything in everything that you can think of.
And and and a lot of parents will cut that
child off in fact that that you know, and it's
probably to some degree. And this is guessing probably Rob
Reiner was in.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
A perpetual state of trying to fix his son.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
And and when and it bit him.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
All right with the with that, Jeremy, we will let
you go. And also, uh, what's what an M trying
to steal our quarterback?

Speaker 5 (10:34):
Just curious are they trying to take him? You know what?

Speaker 4 (10:42):
You know what, go ahead take him, you know, enjoy
your third place finish and be in the you know,
enjoy your your your cheese at bowl whatever.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Okay, So there The point is, you guys could get
a pretty good quarterback, right what the folks are saying
that you see quarterbacks? Sowersby's pretty good. And I know
A and M has a lot of money.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
Yeah, he came he came to Loveock a few years ago.

Speaker 5 (11:10):
Yeah, because I'm a Red Raider.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
He came to Loveck a few years ago and threw
it around the yard kind of pretty pretty decently. But
you know, look, I'll tell you what we're gonna deal
with a and m here in a few.

Speaker 5 (11:22):
Weeks if they make it, because because.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Red Raider is going to bring this home for the
Big twelve. Just just saying, don't you're not worried, don't worry,
don't worry about this, and we're gonna and we're gonna
take it to Ohio State. I know that what's your
temperature on those guys?

Speaker 6 (11:37):
Is that?

Speaker 5 (11:38):
Is that? Friend?

Speaker 7 (11:38):
Foe?

Speaker 5 (11:39):
I mean, how what's the feeling there?

Speaker 1 (11:41):
What Ohio State?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah, I mean there's there's like i'd say, a core
of about fifteen thousand rabid Ohio State fans.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, further north, you get, I mean in Cleveland, they're
almost as popular as the Browns here.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Uh, this is this is the Reds and Bengals country time.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
Not so much Buck guys, not so much Buck guys.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Okay, now, fair enough, Like I said, yeah, you know,
if that guy wants to leave for a and M
let him and you know what, good good good luck,
good luck, and we'll we'll well, it's exciting to never
read about you again.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Well. I told Rocky look, and I tried to buy
deb something and then I just got a notification yesterday
that it wasn't going to happen. So now I'm back
to square one.

Speaker 10 (18:13):
You know why because you waited till yesterday, like it's
not going to happen because it couldn't get here in time.

Speaker 11 (18:19):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
No, I will tell you what it was. I mean,
she grew up in Pittsburgh and she was a giant
Lynn Swan fan when she was a kid.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
And I saw a thoughtful gift.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Lynn Swan was on cameo. You know, if you don't
know what cameo, wish you can order these from celebrities
and they will have your birthday or Merry Christmas or whatever.
And it was a couple of hundred bucks, but Lyn
Swan would send a message to deb whatever. I asked
him to say no within parameters, and so I tried

(18:55):
to do that for our birthday and it didn't work.

Speaker 6 (18:57):
Well.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
I saw he was offered again, so I tried to
get it for it for Christmas and found out yesterday
he's not doing them anymore. Well, they had already they
had offered it, and then they told me they're not.
He can't do it.

Speaker 13 (19:09):
Right.

Speaker 9 (19:10):
Someone who knows Lyntzwan call him up, make it happen.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Come on, I sure say, I don't know if he's
doing that, great, we're fifty bucks. That's good money.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, yeah, just to say very Christmas, how are you
thanks for being a fan all those years? End of story?

Speaker 9 (19:28):
Five bucks?

Speaker 3 (19:29):
You want me to call her up?

Speaker 12 (19:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (19:32):
I already offered that, Toddy. Yes, I'd do it for ten.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
For two undred and fifty bucks, I could get everybody
in Cincinnati media to do it and still save myself
one hundred and fifty.

Speaker 9 (19:43):
Uh do it without anybody.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
But but hey, look it'll this is gonna every year.

Speaker 10 (20:32):
Okay, So one time, my now ex brother in law
got my sister a vacuum for Christmas.

Speaker 9 (20:40):
Have you have you ever done something that dumb?

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Well, when you were like that, what if it's a
really nice fact you like on the top the line ones,
you know she'd appreciate that, apciate if I.

Speaker 10 (20:56):
Said to my husband like, hey, I am dying for
this vacuum. Guys, it is it's I don't want to
spend the money on it, but I really would love it.
I would love a room, but no one's ever gonna
get me a roomba. I've asked for a roomba a lot.
No one's ever gonna get me one because they're like,
we're not getting you that. Well, but I really want that,
So I kind of understand if you really want it.
But if it's just a huh, I'm trying to be.

Speaker 9 (21:19):
Thoughtful, what could my wife use and get a vacuum?

Speaker 2 (21:23):
So you're also saying these like these pots and pans
I bought her are not good either, like.

Speaker 9 (21:30):
This broom, don't buy a scale scale even I.

out for it from Frederick to Hollywood in some new
scales on Everybody Wins Winter Winter.

got cooking going on. I've got present making. I make
a lot of my presents. My niece has asked for
a present that I make her, so I am going
to be spending my weekend doing that.

Speaker 9 (22:16):
I I'm kind of a nut. I think you know
this by now. Like I I make a lot of
stuff that I just don't need to do.

Speaker 10 (22:24):
And I don't know why I feel the absolute need
to like make it from scratch, make it myself.

Speaker 9 (22:31):
But you know that's my toxic trade.

Speaker 16 (22:33):
I guess.

Speaker 17 (22:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (22:35):
But it's gonna be a it's gonna be a push
down to the wire. We're gonna get it all done,
all right.

a Christmas miracle has occurred, a truly mean, true Christmas miracle.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
So I think last wee or a couple of weeks ago,
I told the story of Chase the Gecko. We've got Chase.
I don't know, I'm saying the late summer. Maybe my
middle of son Bronson, really wanted a gecko, and through
my mother in law, found somebody had one. Geckos are
not cheap, by the way, And this thing was actually

(25:57):
pretty cool, like you know, it was a big about
you know, like a little less than the size of
your you know, cell phone, kind of of a pen basically,
and he was pretty cool. He I would have thought
he would like try to like get away all the
time and stuff. But man, you get him out the
cage and hold him in your hand or put on
your arm, he would just kind of chill right there
and you kind of pet him a little bit and
he was cool, okay, And so uh went.

Speaker 6 (26:21):
On with him.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
And of course my wife ends up being the one
that actually, you know, feeds him and takes care of
him and spray bottles is aquarium and stuff. Well, about
two weeks ago ed we also had another addition to
the boyment household. We're like like, like you know, funny farm,
all right, we have a we have a new cat,
now named Coco. Her name is now been changed to

(26:42):
Miss Kitty. It's so miss kitty.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
Change.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
That's just that's what we call her. That's actually what
I call her. I call her Miss Kitty, and so
everyone calls her miss Kitty now. So anyway, So woke
up in the morning about ten eleven days ago, and
I looked down at the aquarium in the door of
the gecko aquarium is open, and I look inside the
aquarium and there's no gecko. And I immediately look at

(27:10):
Miss Kitty. I'm like, what have you done? What have
you done to that poor What have you done to Chase?

Speaker 5 (27:17):
Miss?

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Miss kitty had her belly full.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
I thought that that is what I would have bet
all money on. So, you know, we're looking around. Okay,
maybe she chased him around. So we're when we're undoing
all the cushions, looking in it, in the you know,
the crevices of the chairs and all kinds of stuff.
Can't find Chase. Day after day after day, about ten
eleven days goes by. I come home last night and
my wife says, you're not going to believe it, and

(27:41):
she shows me a picture and it was Chase on
the on the kitchen floor. So she walked in the
kitchen and there he was, just sitting there right on
the floor by the refrigerator. So he's back.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
So you had no idea where he went, no.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Idea, And we didn't feed him. It's not he left
the little bowl of crickets out for him or a
bowl of water. So he was just I don't know,
maybe finding random little spiders or something and the dog's
water dish, or maybe he was getting some dog food.
I don't know, but we did not see this thing.
He's alive. Chase the gecko lives and how long he

(28:15):
was going for?

Speaker 6 (28:15):
How long?

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Ten eleven days? Damn, I know, I would have bet.
I thought even if she didn't, even if Miss Kitty
didn't eat Chase, I thought, Okay, maybe she just mortally
wounded him, mortally wounded him and he went off somewhere,
and you know, his legs all gnawed off or something,
and he just died in a corner somewhere, And we'll

(28:37):
find him one day when we're moving some table or
something like a little get go. Body's gonna stink a
little little scalt. The only reason I didn't think that
she ate ing is because you know, you'd you'd see
some you know, remain remains or something like that, like
you know, like a skelt, some bones in the U. Anyway,

(28:57):
I never saw that, So okay, she just chasing wounded
em and he went off in the house and died somewhere.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
No, he's very much alive. Chase live, Chase lives. Miss
Kitty is exonerated.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
That's right. Miss Kitty has gotten a lot of favor though,
in spite of possibly we thought killing Chase. She's a
fan favorite in the Bloyment House.

It's red Tag time at Cheeke Swinney Chewman.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
All right back with Eddian, Rocky and Ron. Maybe you've
heard it's the Christmas season.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Yes, which is supposed to be the most wonderfull time
of the year, but a lot of times it's the
exact opposite. And I think from what we're hearing, social
media can exacerbate your unhappiness.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
And here to discuss. We have talked to this gentleman
a long time ago, and it's great to have him back.
Doctor Dean becklith Becloth. He is a licensed professional counselor doc,
welcome back to the program.

Speaker 5 (36:03):
Hey, it good to be back.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Thank you, so doctor you heard us talking there. And
you know, the holidays for people who and maybe on
their own or have always been difficult, no doubt about it.
But it would seem to be like Rogie said, that
social media is just exacerbating that. I mean, and it's
pretty obvious why I explain, Well, you.

Speaker 7 (36:27):
Know, and I hate it that social media seems to
be the thing that we kick around for a lot
of the problems, but it does it exacerbates it. However,
you know, when you think about social media, there's some
positive things about it too. I was thinking about the
fact that, you know, I get to keep up with
friends that I haven't seen, maybe even in years, but

(36:48):
I kind of get a little sense of what's going
on with them. But you know, Christmas time, people are
posting all kinds of things. They're posting their family pictures
and their food, and huh, maybe my home just doesn't
quite measure up. And I certainly don't have any of
those cool Christmas pjs to put on with everybody. So

(37:13):
what about that? And so, you know, it's easy to
get into comparison, and I don't measure up, and there's
depression out there, especially around the holiday time, and to
some extent, social media does play.

Speaker 5 (37:30):
A part of that too.

Speaker 7 (37:31):
We are not immune. We tend to think of it
as a problem that teenagers have and young teens, and
of course they do. When they see pictures of their
of their friends posting pictures of parties that they didn't
get invited to, that's not going to feel too good
to them. But we are people too, we are even

(37:52):
as adults, we can feel it as well.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Now, doctors there a certain age group of this effects
disproportioning more than others. Is it the thirty to forty
crowd or is this more the you know, the older crowd.
Where are we at?

Speaker 19 (38:08):
You know?

Speaker 7 (38:09):
I think it's a it's everybody, I do.

Speaker 6 (38:13):
Now.

Speaker 7 (38:13):
The research is showing that people forty five and older
are the ones who are maybe getting hit a little
bit harder with it, but they're also struggling with some
various things like they're getting older and health problems and
all those kinds of things. And so then they look
at these wonderful pictures that are staged now. But believe me,

(38:37):
staging is important. One time I posted a picture of
our tree, and it looked like it was growing out
of my head. And I got a lot of feedback
about that, so time type staging might be important. However,
you know, these picture perfect looking combs for the holidays
look really warm, but life, life is not picture perfect,

(39:01):
as we all know, and life can be very beautiful
and very messy. So we it's a whole ball of wax,
and nobody's life looks like that picture perfect picture.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Yeah, or Doctor Dean beslaf Deckloth as our guest, and so, Doc,
it just would behoove you not to sit around and
do it. But I think it's kind of a self
fulfilling prophecy, isn't it. It's you sit around, you don't
have anything to do, You kind you're on your own,
so you just sit there and you're you're scrolling through

(39:36):
Facebook or TikTok or whatever the case might be, and
what you're seeing here and you're just doing it to yourself.
Isn't that kind of the way depression works though, You
kind of feed it?

Speaker 7 (39:48):
Yeah, oh yeah, And I hate to say that social
media can't feed it. It just will by its nature.
So you've hit on such an important point, but part
of it is turn it off, take a break, get
away from it. Really focus on yourself, your family, your traditions.

(40:12):
They don't have to be instagram worthy to be meaningful.
Have your own traditions. Keep the Christmas time. I know
it's hard and you guys are dealing with it too,
but as simple as possible, I said recently, they make
a lot of cool paper plates. Get the paper plates
out and maybe not the finest china. Cut yourself some

(40:37):
slack and chill out. And comparing our life to the
picture perfect pictures, that's not going to be helpful. I
love being the pictures of my friends and family, but
be careful about what we can do to ourselves negatively
and I.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Mean obviously, the better things is to do is to
to find like real people to hang out with. Instead
of looking at other people's lives, go enjoy your own
life and find real, meaningful relationships and experience that correct.

Speaker 7 (41:13):
Yeah, absolutely, which is one of the things.

Speaker 6 (41:15):
You know.

Speaker 7 (41:16):
We work in our counseling office with teens and adults
and everybody in between. But we're working to get those
teens to be with real people, not playing the video
game with them online. But let's find some ways to
get with people, and I think you just hit something

(41:37):
absolutely important and beautiful.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Got to be with real people, Doctor Dean Becklof as
our guest and doc, speaking of that type of thing,
just reading, I constantly read these articles about younger people
who are taking classes on how to do make a
phone call in a business situation, and that has to

(42:03):
be a result of video games and social media.

Speaker 5 (42:07):
Correct.

Speaker 7 (42:08):
Oh yeah, absolutely. But you know what, I hate to
say it, but if the only thing we can do
these days is actually teach those skills, we need to
be doing it and empowering these young people to be
able to do the things that we just sort of
picked up naturally on our own because all we had
was for me, it was a phone on the wall,

(42:31):
and you actually did this thing called dialing it. You know,
it had to start call and you put your finger
in it.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Yeah, and then you had your dad say get off
the phone after you want it for three minutes talking
to one of your buddies or your quote unquote girlfriend.

Speaker 17 (42:49):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
With that, doctor Dean. I think it's worth recommending though,
that if you do know some but especially an older
person and at this time of year, reach out to
him anytime you can and give him a little love
of some nature, even if it's just a phone call
or stop and buy for a cup of coffee or something.

Speaker 7 (43:13):
Huh you bet. Oh that's such a great idea. And
isn't that part of what we would consider to be
the holiday? The Christmas spirit is inviting other people.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
In all right? With that, doctor Dean, people want to
find out more about what you do.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
All right, well, hi Ellen and Madero, what do you have?

Speaker 7 (46:53):
I have two great stories.

Speaker 15 (46:56):
They're both about cats, and they're both about different cats,
and they're in different houses in which I lived.

Speaker 29 (47:04):
The first one was years ago.

Speaker 15 (47:06):
I couldn't find the cat, couldn't find the cat. All
of a sudden, I'm hearing this meow meow downstairs, but
I couldn't find where the.

Speaker 7 (47:17):
Sound was from.

Speaker 15 (47:19):
Long story short, the cat had climbed on my then
husband's workbench and then up into the ceiling and had
gotten stuck behind a basement wall. So we had called
fired the deeply department, and they had to come out,

(47:40):
put a huge hole in the wall and reached in.
And when that guy touched the cat, he like screamed
and like flew back, and the cat came running out.

Speaker 7 (47:55):
But but, but the absolute best one was the condo
I'm in now.

Speaker 15 (48:02):
I had a cat, was an indoor outdoor cat. For
three weeks, I could not find this cat. I was
beside myself.

Speaker 30 (48:11):
I was like, where is this cat?

Speaker 15 (48:13):
Where's this cat? And my son had put in my
face or my lower level a like a top bottom
one piece washirt and dryer set, and he put the

(48:34):
vent out to the front of the house, but he
hadn't put something in front of the hole yet. And okay,
so three weeks and I knew that a cat could
could climb all around. So I'm walking all over the
house kittie.

Speaker 31 (48:55):
Freshes.

Speaker 7 (48:56):

Like two cats have found bound to get behind the
wall the house somehow got trapped inside the walls of
her house a couple of times.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
Well, I was talking about it. I've found this story.
This dog, who disappeared from its home in California in
twenty twenty one was miraculously found tied to a fence
at a animal shelter in Michigan. Wow, just a couple
of weeks ago. This lady's wire haired dosund named Chaco,

(59:38):
vanished from their Sacramento home in twenty twenty one. Since then,
she and her husband had two kids, but she said
she was still thinking about Choco all that time. When
you have a pet disappear, everything racist through your mind.
Is he alive? Is he okay? Is he being treated well?
If I lived in California, I would think that a
coyote ate him. Yeah, totally, especially a docson. I mean,

(01:00:01):
those little bitty things. What are you gonna do? Then,
in early December, this lady received a text from a
microchip company claiming that Chaco had been found in a
town called Lincoln. Called Lincoln, she assumed that it was
in Lincoln, California. That's thirty miles north of where she lives.

(01:00:22):
Oh no, when that five years Chaco had somehow found
his way to Lincoln, Michigan, twenty three hundred miles twenty
three hundred from his home. Blah blah blah. The animal
control officer stepped into helpis for donations to ship Chaco

(01:00:43):
back to where he came from. It doesn't say how
the dog ended up tied to the fence, but yeah,
Chaco has been found.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
Yeah, anyway out there, if you've had ever had a
pet go missing that you found like many many weeks
months later, Yeah, call the show five one three, seven,
for nine and seven thousand. I told you about the
our dog, which one was it? Chief? And he same
with two disappeared like for two weeks like he was

(01:01:17):
he was old, Like okay, he must have wandered off
and died. And somebody in Lawrenceburg calls us and says, hey,
we think you of your dog. Right, where are you at?
Like you We're in Lawrenceburg. And this is when we
lived in Ross like Okana. How in the living heck
did he get all the way over there?

Well, we're getting some calls now five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven,
eight hundred, the big one. Let's get to Mike and
Hamilton right quick, Hey Mike, what do.

Speaker 11 (01:01:42):
You got hey guys?

Speaker 37 (01:01:45):
Yeah, So, going back about ninety four, I had this cat.
His name was Honda, named the matter my motorcycle. But uh, anyway,
he came up missing one day and uh, myself and
all my neighbors at the apartment complex I lived that,
we're all out side looking for him. And uh anyway,
long story short. I borrowed this couch from my mom.

(01:02:05):
You know, a single bachelor, didn't have any money, so
I was taking any furniture I could get I'd taken
this couch back to my mom's and uh. She called
me about an hour later and she's like, you're not
going to guess who's walking down the hallway at my house.
She's like, get your cat, Honda. So what it happened
is that the cat had gotten underneath the couch, like
inside the springs of the couch, and he had made
that ride all the way to Milford, and man, we

(01:02:28):
had that couch flipped upside down on its end in
the bed of a pickup truck about ten miles away,
and somehow he made the ride and managed unscathed.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
Animals are resilience, man. That's you know, whether it's you know,
there's that or chase the gecko again? Like how the
heck at lived at our house for ten plus days,
no food, no water, no nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
Let's talk to Joel and Bethel. Hey, Joel, what do
you have?

Speaker 38 (01:02:56):
Yeah, real quick. When my daughter was born, my in
laws came down to visit. There was about two hours away,
and their parents have an old farm and there's all
these old farm cats that are all orange and they
looked sort of sickly, and they came down and when
they were leaving I noticed this kind of sickly looking

(01:03:18):
orange cat that I'd never seen before, and I'm like,
I think that's one of those cats from your guys's farm.
But they're like, oh, no way, no way. Well, we
went up north to visit them at the farm and
I had to scare a cat out from like the
engine compartment on my car. So I bet the house
that that cat rode in the engine compartment for about

(01:03:38):
two hours all the way down south to Creamont County.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (01:03:44):
Wow.

Speaker 38 (01:03:44):
And I know real quick about about cats. I had
two mice growing up, and one day there's a bad storm,
so we let the outdoor cat come in the house
and the power went out.

Speaker 7 (01:03:56):
Well, that cat went.

Speaker 38 (01:03:57):
Right to my room, knocked the mouse's cage over at
one of my pet mice.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
Well that didn't take long. Uh, thanks, thanks Joel. How

I said, okay, am I finding you. I'll get it
back to you and I'll carry my route. And I
found her dog put in my mail truck and I
said it in her backyard. Well, day or two went by,
and I forget the lady's man said, hey, missus so

my dog's dog. And I knew every dog in the
nameighborhood and it looked just like her dog. But yeah,
that's a true story.

the fridge. Just an idea of where to look the

Evil Cane went down the driveway, went between my legs
and got run over by a pickup.

I think that was one of those where unintended consequences
that I don't think my parents really realized what they
this thing was going to be used for, because I

(01:19:01):
didn't figure it out until I got it.

Speaker 5 (01:19:03):
But it was.

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
It was a gun that just that shot air. That
was it pillow that out of it or anything not
until I got my hands on it. Yeah, of course
docked it out.

Speaker 1 (01:19:16):
It was kind of it. It was about I don't know,
ten inches in diameters say, and then it came to
a had a funnel point on it, so and it
had like a diaphragm in it right like a bellows,
like a bellows, and it would pull back real big
and they're like boom. So you just shoot a puff
of air out of it. Well, with the help of

(01:19:39):
my bigger my older brother, we used to have a
dartboard in our bedroom. So I was like, how cool
would this be to shoot darts out of this? And
we did.

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
Wow, that's bold for not very long because as soon
as my mom saw that the guns going at the
tra here two kids with combined two eyes, Yeah, I
had the dort stick it out of the other one's head.

on over sales man?

Speaker 5 (01:20:18):
Well, I've been waiting for this call for a while,
been dealing with this.

Speaker 42 (01:20:21):
Uh, this kept hanging over. It's been a long time
story for the last twenty years of Christmas. But when
the George Forman grills first came out, they had the
indoor outdoor and kind of shopping out with my mom
and helping pick things up and sitting there at Sears
and sawid nice little grill and you know, it'd be
great for my patio outside of my apartment.

Speaker 6 (01:20:40):
I like the grill out.

Speaker 42 (01:20:41):
You don't have a lot of people open, don't have
a lot of people over. And so come Christmas Eve,
sitting in my mom's house, nice big box, open it up,
it's a turkey frar. No, she says, hey, you could
use that turkey fry and we have people over. I said, yeah, mom,
I said to George, forman grill, and I don't have.

Speaker 6 (01:20:57):
A lot of people over.

Speaker 29 (01:20:58):
I took the cook outside.

Speaker 17 (01:21:00):
That was great.

Speaker 7 (01:21:00):
So yeah, I'll see what I can do with this.

Speaker 42 (01:21:03):
So now every year Christmas there's a box.

Speaker 7 (01:21:05):
Open it up.

Speaker 42 (01:21:05):
Somebody says, I wonder if it's a turkey friar. Yeah,
so great class. So so now now now I have
a turkey friar.

Speaker 6 (01:21:13):
It's great.

Speaker 42 (01:21:14):
But yeah, it's just one of those things you're you're
hoping for one thing and you open it up. It's
you don't want to be mean, you don't want to
be mad. You know, it's kind of grateful you got something,
but it's like, Okay, all.

Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
The best intentions were there, but just was not the
right thing.

not all that great for entertaining just a couple of people,
you know, George Browman grill you can toss a couple

Well that what you were just talking about was called FORBIS. Yes,

Do you remember the little.

Speaker 41 (01:25:53):
Were notifications in the back of magazines for like X
ray glasses, hand buzzers, stink bomb was all that kind
of stuff. I was so disappointed when my X ray glasses.

Speaker 5 (01:26:03):
It wasn't what they lived up to be.

Speaker 1 (01:26:05):
So you did get some of those, Dave, because I'm.

Speaker 41 (01:26:09):
Yeah, I mean those in the back of I think
like boy Scout magazines or something like that, and there
was always what you dreamed about order and if the
square always in the back of a magazine, kind of
last couple of pages, and it was like all kinds
of different stuff like yeah, yeah, I didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
Live up to the hype.

Speaker 1 (01:26:25):
Huh I got well they gas Yeah, well, Dave, and
Dave knows what I'm talking because I used to always
see mine in the back of comic books, because that
was a big comic book.

Speaker 5 (01:26:37):
Comic books.

Speaker 41 (01:26:37):
I just remember being in the back on the lat.

Speaker 1 (01:26:39):
But if you remember Dave those ads and you'd see
this guy wearing the X ray glasses and there'd be
some girl walking down the street like covering herself with
you know, she had her clothes on, but she'd be
like and the guy's like, oh God.

Speaker 41 (01:26:58):
Then sulfur bombs were fun too. You could really clear
out a dance club real quick with one of those.

Speaker 1 (01:27:05):
Yeah, and thanks Dave. And also sea monkeys. Don't forget
sea monkeys.

Speaker 2 (01:27:10):
I remember those right.

Speaker 1 (01:27:11):
Yeah, basically it was I think I read that they
were like dehydrated shrimp or something and you got them
in water and they came back to life. I don't
know what that works.

Speaker 7 (01:27:21):
Really.

Speaker 1 (01:27:22):

My bad Larry, what's going on?

Speaker 17 (01:27:29):
By good afternoon, man.

Speaker 44 (01:27:32):
I got a little different approach for you.

Speaker 6 (01:27:34):
Okay.

Speaker 44 (01:27:35):
The first Christmas I spent my wife and I spent
together in our house. The very first Christmas when we
were living together, I bought a Lady Bug bracelet that
I was one thousand percent sure she was gonna love.

Speaker 29 (01:27:52):
And I held it back, so I waited for everything
to be.

Speaker 11 (01:27:55):
Done, and I was like, well, we got one more.

Speaker 44 (01:28:01):
Uh, And I gave it to her, and I'm just
sitting there waiting for the gatorade path And.

Speaker 29 (01:28:07):
When I had just got.

Speaker 17 (01:28:10):
She opens it up, looks at me and says, oh my.

Speaker 44 (01:28:14):
Gosh, honey, and this is nice. If I was seven, yeah,
last time I saw a jewelry and my friends, that
was it.

Speaker 26 (01:28:25):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:28):
That's great, that's well. And that reminds me the story
I've told her before we were somewhere we weren't even
married yet, me and me and my now wife and uh,
Eddie's like adult onesies and my wife was like, oh man,
those are cool or something, and then some I'm like,
you know, mental note. So for Christmas, yeah, I got

(01:28:49):
this thing and it was like Leopard or something. And
she opens it up and I'm like, yeah, she's gonna
think this is awesome running around the house and that,
and she goes, I hate it, like it was dying,
laughing like I'm never gonna wear that. Like really he said,
you like this, He's like, not enough to like one
one you to wear it.

Speaker 15 (01:29:12):
I liked it as that.

Speaker 21 (01:29:13):
I thought it was funny.

Speaker 1 (01:29:16):
Let's talk to Gary, Gary and Columbus, Indiana. What's up Gary?

Speaker 6 (01:29:22):
Hey, Hey Eddie Rocky uh ed me and you are.
We're about the same age and I'm a retired FedEx courier.
And when you do that kind of work, Christmas kind
of takes on a different meaning. I mean, it's hard
not to be a screwge, you know. Every year, like

(01:29:42):
you come in after a really long day.

Speaker 30 (01:29:44):
The girls in the front office they would ask me us, well,
what do you get in your wife, you know, for Christmas?

Speaker 14 (01:29:50):
And every year I'd add a couple of strange things.

Speaker 30 (01:29:55):
I'd usually say, well, I'm getting us some Channel five perfume,
a cell phone holder, a Lily Nelson chia pet, and
a clapper.

Speaker 7 (01:30:07):
Clap off the clapper, I think they believed me.

Speaker 1 (01:30:12):
Oh my god, oh man, that's great dry thanks buddy.

Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
The chia pet that was like that was a huge thingia.

Speaker 26 (01:30:22):
Oh man.

Speaker 1 (01:30:23):
I think I wanted one of those one as a kid,
but for some reason I didn't get one. Or I
might have gotten one and killed it or something.

Speaker 5 (01:30:28):
I forget.

Speaker 2 (01:30:29):
I never got one, but I remember this commercial was
being like, yeah, man, that's pretty sweet.

Speaker 1 (01:30:34):
Let's talk to Chris and Finneytown right quick. Hey Chris,
what's going on?

Speaker 19 (01:30:39):
Hey?

Speaker 39 (01:30:39):
Yeah, I was a devious little kid back around Christmas
when I guess was back in the sixties when I
was pretty little, and one Christmas, I really wanted slot cars.
Remember those ones that are about the size of your hand,
the real big ones. They the brushes on the bottom
you could skid him around the turns and stuff with
the big black track. Well, I told my parents, said
I want slot car for Christmas, and I to try

(01:31:00):
to sneak out. I wait till my parents would go
to sleep, and I'd go out to the old Plymouth
satellite out in the driveway and I'd get my mom's
car keys and I'd open the trunk where she'd hide
the presents, and she got me a train set, an
ho train set, and I was like, So the next
day I was just dropping these big hints.

Speaker 7 (01:31:15):
To my mom.

Speaker 39 (01:31:16):
I was like, you know, mom, I really really love
slock cars. I don't like trains, I really love slock cars.
And she returned the present before Christmas and I ended
up getting slock cars. But yeah, I used to wait
till my mom would fall asleep on the couch and
I'd sneak in her person very carefully pull the keys
out without jingling the keys, and then go out and
open the trunk and see all the presents because she

(01:31:37):
knew that I'd find them in the house, and so
she kept them locked.

Speaker 5 (01:31:39):
In the car trunk.

Speaker 1 (01:31:41):
Oh well, that's uh. I remember that that trick quite well, Chris.
And as a matter of fact, my parents had a
Plymouth satellite as well. Very cool funny. I thought I
ended up driving when was by. It was one of
my I think I might have my first car in
high school or something.

Speaker 2 (01:31:59):

in twenty twenty four. Both were learning Haitian creole and
Weisenberg joined the North Texas Fire Academy to learn command
and control protocols. However, he did flunk out. In February
of this year. He Thomas, the other guy, joined the

(01:35:18):
US Air Force was station in Maryland. Both men planned
to recruit homeless people from Washington from DC to assist
in their coup.

Speaker 2 (01:35:28):
I mean this is pretty well thought out to some degree.
I mean you're going to join the fire department to
learn all the all the procedures and.

Speaker 1 (01:35:37):
Stuff after sailing to Well, their plan was after sailing
to and getting control of the island. Weisenberg and Thomas
planned to kill all the men and make the women
and children sex slaves.

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
Okay, okay, all right, So.

Speaker 1 (01:35:55):
How do you how these people were caught? I have
no idea, but uh, they could face up to life
in federal prison for their for their nefarious plot. But
I want to know how you come up? Where do
you what goes on in your little pea brain that
you come up with a plot like that.

Speaker 21 (01:36:16):
I want to know.

Speaker 1 (01:36:18):
It has to be drugs, right, I mean that.

Speaker 2 (01:36:22):
Thing is somewhere that's a part of the situation, I
would say.

Speaker 1 (01:36:27):
I mean it has to be. You have to be
pretty damn high to think I have an idea.

Speaker 2 (01:36:33):
Take over a hole.

Speaker 1 (01:36:34):
We're going to take and kill everybody. Yeah, well except
for the women and children. Yeah, well, all we got
to do is kill all the men. So we have
a we got to start.

Speaker 2 (01:36:45):
But there's a lot of rough ombres in Haiti and
organized and.

Speaker 1 (01:36:52):
Yeah, you're going to end up, right, That's what I'm saying.
Rock and other eminal activity police in Auckland, New Zealand,
were holding where they were because this happened a couple
of weeks ago. I think it has to have taken
care of itself. By now, we're holding a man accustomedly,

(01:37:13):
presumably waiting for.

Speaker 5 (01:37:16):
Him to.

Speaker 1 (01:37:18):
Give back the nineteen thousand dollars fabroge egg pendit that
he had swallowed. Wow, the I don't know, I got nothing.
So of course they did an X ray on him,
and there's the egg shape pendit in his belly. So

(01:37:39):
they have and they do, as as always with these things,
have a how would you be? You have to be
pretty far down the cop totem pole. It was like,
guess what.

Speaker 2 (01:37:54):
The toilet?

Speaker 1 (01:37:54):
Anytime that guy goes to the bathroom, you're with him.
Like I said, this happened a couple of weeks ago,
So I have to uh think that it's taking care
of its help by now said. At that stage, the
pendant had not been recovered. The aegis set with white

(01:38:15):
diamonds and blue sapphires and has an eighteen carrot gold
miniature octopus inside.

Speaker 2 (01:38:21):
Wow, I know those things are very ornate and intricate,
you know, and small and very detailed. What was the
whole genesis of those things? I got eggs, Yeah, a
lot of royalty and gotta hurt. Got that's yeah, it's
gotta hurt. In other news said, how about this uh headline?

(01:38:42):
Former SEC star quarterback TJ. Finley looking for his seventh
school in seven years.

Speaker 6 (01:38:50):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:38:50):
I actually covered this kid. He was a quarterback from
Georgia State. Last year he was at his then sixth
school in six years. So former LSU, former Auburn, Then
he was where was he at? He was at Texas State,
and then he was at he was at Western Kentucky

(01:39:11):
somewhere in there. He was at Tulane for a minute.
That's six So yeah, he's looking for a seven school.
What I mean?

Speaker 13 (01:39:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:39:21):
Finley played two seasons at Auburn, making six starts before
entering yet again entering the Portal. This is after one
year at LSU. This time he went up at Texas State,
won the starting job, won eight and five, had a career,
was going pretty good, but then prior to the twenty
twenty four season, transferred to Western Kentucky, played in just
three games, entered the Portal again, went to Tulane, but

(01:39:45):
then left Tulane before the start of the season because
of allegations of stealing a vehicle.

Speaker 15 (01:39:52):
Not good.

Speaker 2 (01:39:53):
Wound up at Georgia State or last year he threw
for twelve hundred yards, six touchdowns, seven interceptions, and seven
appearances went one and six. Again. I covered him Georgia
State versus Vandy, and I remember talking about it like
here we go again. Well now Finley is appealing to
the NCAA for a seventh season and is back in

(01:40:14):
the portal. Quote, the last two years have been the
most challenging in my life. Balancing new fatherhood, injuries, and
the adversity off the field has tested me in ways
football never could. Through it all, my love for the
game never left. Football is who I am. I still
love competing, leading and playing at the highest level. Blah
blah blahlah blah. So I hope that the college coaches

(01:40:37):
all banned together and say, you know what, this is
a moment where we can kind of put a stop
to some of the madness here, right and keep this
from happening and not set a precedence, and say, you
know what, that's it, because I got news for this kid,
and I've seen him play and he has a lot
of great attributes and if you walk in here, you'll
be like, God, that's a good looking quarterback. But if

(01:40:59):
it had happen by now, it ain't going to happen.
You ain't playing in the NFL. It's not happening.

Speaker 1 (01:41:05):
I mean, is that I guess that's his ultimate goal, right, Well,
that or been around but crap, like you said, if
it ain't happening to anything happening.

Speaker 2 (01:41:14):
Well that's the goal. But also it's you know, now
that players are getting paid, he's you know, maybe he's
making even though he's not great, he's making one hundred
grand or something. So if you can keep doing that
for a sixth, the seventh, and eighth year, that's a
way of making money even if you don't make it
to the NFL. But I just feel like, and that's
the case, he's going to make the NC double A,

(01:41:36):
which is what all of them make. Which is, hey,
you're you're depriving my by not allowing me or granting
me this extra year of eligibility. You're not allowing me
to you know, profit for my name, image and likeness.
You're denying my ability to make a living. That's the
that's the heart string that they play on to be
able to get an extra year, an extra year, an
extra year.

Speaker 1 (01:41:55):
Well also they and that gives him a legal option
as well, right I mean, if it's remember what I've
lack of a better term, restraint of trade, right, if
you're stopping them from making money.

Speaker 2 (01:42:05):
No, that's exactly what I'm saying that that's exactly exactly
what happens. But I hope hopefully stronger heads prevail and
coaches get together and say, you know what we're gonna
We're gonna stop this right now.

Speaker 6 (01:42:17):
We can't.

Speaker 2 (01:42:18):
I mean, seventh year, that's that's getting a little ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (01:42:22):
Well, it's it's stupid, and it really is as far
as I'm concerned, and I think you feel the same way.
It's really affecting the game, and I think in my
perception of the game for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:42:34):
Yeah, well, I mean you're denying opportunities for people that are,
you know, in college. You can't be in college your
whole life, and I know people try to that aren't athletes.
Just just live the college. And it's great. If I
could write a check and go back to a weekend
of college, what is the number i'd pay it? But

(01:42:55):
at some point you got to be an adult. You
gotta grow up, you gotta get a real job. And
I just feel like it's it's it's just making a
mockery of a system that is well intentioned.

Speaker 1 (01:43:05):
Agreed, Yeah, uh, you're just you're playing the system and
that's that's a shame. But it's like you said, it's
well intentioned, but who didn't see this coming?

Speaker 5 (01:43:17):
Really?

Speaker 1 (01:43:18):
With that, we check in with traffic and weather, what
is going on.
