Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
All here we go. It's Eddie and Rocky Show. Eddie's
out today. I'm alongside Donna. D Donna, how are you?
I am so good? It's a great sports weekend, Donna,
oh man. I mean tonight we got the Crosstown shootout,
we got the Saint Xavier Bombers try to go for
the state title, and then tomorrow there's many championship games

(00:21):
Ohio State Indiana is the big one. Of course, Bengals
game on Sunday, so let's dive right into it with
our normal Friday guests at this time, the one the
only Richard Skinner, Skinny, how are you?

Speaker 2 (00:32):
I'm doing great? It is a great sports weekend. I mean, honestly,
kind kind of starry last night with Anderson playing in
the state championship game. I mean, you got it?

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah, no, I watched that game. By the way. That
Avon team is just really really good, you know, and I.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Want yeah, I watched it too. I mean it's like
they couldn't get a stop and it wasn't of Anderson stinks.
I mean their defense, while a lot of stuff about
their offense, their defense was really good. Was just that good?

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah? Yeah, they were good and they got out to
that big lead early and it was tough, but I
was proud of Anderson. I thought that was a great
team and a little short, but they'll probably be back
next year, so we shall see. I guess let let's
start with a crosstown shootout here tonight. And I mean
the big stat that sticks out to everyone is you

(01:18):
see is not one at the Centas Center since two
thousand and one. And we talked to Terry Nelson yesterday
about that. What's the deal? And he said it does
kind of get in guys heads a little bit. What's
your thought on this matchup as you see it here tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, I don't know if he gets in these guys'
heads because they haven't been a part of this, most
of them.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I do think he gets in west Miller's head though,
because you know, the loft Eastern Michigan has put him
clearly on the hot spot. And now you have to
go beat your rival on the road who you haven't
beaten on the road as a head coach, right or wrong,
you probably coached differently. I use analogia on my podcast today.
I can still remember Marvin Lewis during Steelers week saying

(02:02):
this is not this is like any other week. No,
it wasn't. Man, you never coached like that during that week.
I mean, you could have driven a spike up his
rear end he's being so tight. I mean, you really
could have. And and so I do think I do
think guys coach differently when there's a pressure on you.
And that's where I think tonight, that's the that's the
one difference. I think you see has a better roster.

(02:24):
I think you see has better players. But right now
that the old adage of the trend is your friend.
The trend for Xavier is they're trending up where the
trends that you see is a kind of trending downward.
And with a coach who is kind of on the
hot seat in a spot where he can't handle the heat,
I think it's a fascinating If it's one of the
it's always a fascinating ride. But I love rivalry games.
I love the fact that we have one of the

(02:45):
best rivalries in college basketball in our city. And I
love the fact the way the fans embrace it like
there's legitimate hate right or Cincinnati or Northern I'm in
North Kentucky, but North Kentucky is right, and we all
kind of bond together because we love this area. Except
when something like this happens, then one side hits the
other and it's kind of cool.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
I agree, And I guess point number one is yes,
Wes Miller on the hot seat, not having a great
year of a boy. If there's ever a way to
get off it, it is to win this game tonight. Right,
that could just totally change his fortune. Is the team
and everything?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
No, Right, you know they don't have a ton of
swings at the acts with big opponents.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
I'm not sure that.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
I mean not going to be probably a resume building
win for Yuzka. Zager's probably not gonna win a ton
of games, especially when they get in the Big East Conference.
But I just think, just for a sheer, take a
deep breath for a moment. Okay, the Eastern Michigan loss
is ugly, it's bad, but you kind of bounce back
from that with a win over your rival. You got
a couple more swings at decent competition before you get
into the big twelve play And I do think it.

(03:44):
I think this would literally be I don't remember the
Herb Brooks moment in the movie Miracle where Miracle on
ice when they won, and he goes behind, he goes
like underneath the stands and literally leans against the wall,
and it was like somebody pulled a pin and every
amount of pressure just let out of his body. I
could see West Miller do that guy tonight if he
wins the game.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
I agree. You make a good point about how you
know the rivalry there's no And I said this yesterday.
I had a college coach, a very good college coach,
tell me one of the problems with football today in
this case, or is in general sports, is there's not
the hatred there. And that's because these kids aren't at

(04:25):
places long enough to build that up. But there's only
one guy of either u See or Zavier that's played
in a crosstown shootout before, right, I mean, do you
think that's a greater, like a potential huge problem with
some of these rivalries that we all get into. But
the players don't hate the other team as much as
the fans hate the other team.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Right to some degree, yes, But because the fans have
such the disdain for each other, that rivalry is always there.
But I mean I can't remember you know when, And
again this is going to sound like the old guy
yell at clouds, and I don't want to be that guy.
But you know, when you had three and four year players,
they would play not only against each other, they play
against each other in pickup games. They play against each
other in the old Devereux Summer League. And so that

(05:07):
always kind of built over time, Like you know, you're
a freshman class, we're never gonna lose.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
The zavier, and that built up over time.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Now it's guys coming in and going, yeah, I know,
where are they located?

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yea.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
So my friend, my friend Tom Gamble said to me
this morning, and I think he said this on another
radio station today. He said, if you gave players on
each team, he said, go find the other campus without
getting a map on your phone. Do you think either
a male of kids could find the other campus. I'm like, no,
probably not.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
That's a good point.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
I think that's I think it's kind of where we
are today.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
So it's great that you know Joe Burrow killed it
on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
What a great game.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
We haven't seen the Bengals plays feels like forever now.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
Because we haven't seen them.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
On Sunday, they're playing the Bills and Joe Burrow has
a pretty good record against Josh Allen.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
What do you think about that game, Richard?

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, I mean Buffalo has been weirdly inconsistent, like they
played great one week, bad, the next week great, one
week bad, the next week. Well, they played great in
Pittsburgh this past weekend. And some of that's because Pittsburgh
feels like it's falling apart and crumbling. But because of
that inconsistency, and Josh Allen has been a little turnover
prone and they've gotten you know, teams have gotten to
him sackwise. Yeah, I think there's some truth to that.

(06:22):
I mean, Joe Burrows great in December, he's great in
cold weather, he's great against the Bills. He's he's won,
he won a big playoff game in Buffalo. Uh, and
you know he feels good. You know, I was really
interested to hear when we talked to him on Wednesday,
you know, kind of how he felt, because we asked
Zach Taylor on Friday, the day after the game. You know,
how does Joe feel? You know, you, as Rock, you
knows you can get to a game with whatever pain

(06:43):
medication you have and a trenone and all that stuff.
Then the next day it's like, oh, brother, and that game.
I think he gave an honest hans because I really
haven't seen him, but I don't know. And so when
we talked to Joel, Lenday said, I feel great, but
feels great. Toe feels great, and I believe that. I mean,
watching him play on Thursday, he looked he had rushed.
I mean the first half, clearly he missed four or
five throws, but I guess that's not total related. I

(07:04):
just think that's rust related. And then he shook the
rust off and he was nine to fourteen in the
second half through two really nice balls on touchdown passes.
And that's the Joe Burrier hoping for. And I think
it's not just Joe being back and being Joe Burrow.
It's the fact that defense has actually played pretty good
the last three weeks and probably played arguably it's best
game against Baltimore. Do I think it's turning a corner.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
I mean, it's a small sample size, but they are
playing better. They're utilizing the blitz more often. You know,
some young guys are starting to get more time on task.
I know a couple of us wrote a story on
Miles Murphy this week. The twenty twenty three first round
draft picked the sensive end who was just, honestly and
I'm miittiging a disaster for two and a half years,
and then the last three weeks suddenly he's turned into
a capable defensive end in this league. He's got fourteen

(07:46):
quarterback pressures. He kicked the Lamar Jackson pass in that
Thursday night game that Demetrius Night intercepted. He had six
pressures against the Steelers, six or eight pressus against the Steelers,
played really well against New England, had a sack again.
I don't know if he's turn the court, but at
least he's showing some signs of life. And I think
as much as as Burrow being back, the defense having

(08:06):
some success. You're the last three games and you got
to take away some defensive touchdowns at Pittsburgh scored and
New England scored. The defense itself give up twenty points
to Pittsburgh, nineteen points in New England, fourteen points to Baltimore.
If you get Joe Burrow and now a healthy T
Higgins who's going to play this weekend with Jamar Chase,
if you give up twenty points or less. Joe Burrow

(08:27):
isn't losing many games, He's just not agreed.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
And to Miles Murphy, yes, playing better. And I've often
found that, you know, sometimes it just takes doing it right,
Like you think you can do it, but then it
hasn't happened. But then you go do it, you can
now all of a sudden something in your mind triggers
where it kind of clears the deck and Okay, I
can do this moving forward. Do you think the fact
that I mean Trey Henderson at this point is all

(08:52):
but an afterthought? Is that helping Miles Murray, that Miles
Murphy that you know that Trey Hendrickson is like no
longer part of the picture anymore?

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, absolutely, one hundred percent. I asked him that, like,
you know, is it is it more you're just getting
consistent reps? And he said, you know, it's one thing
to talk and watch film in a dim room and
feel like I know it. It's another thing to just
go out there and do it and then do it again,
and then do it again and then do it again.
And I do think that that's again the time on
task of finally getting some consistent reps, and I'm not

(09:24):
here to tell he deserved consistent reps.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
This is kind of by.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Default because Tray's out. But once he got consistent reps,
it's okay. I'm seeing it now. I know that you
know what. I'm not coming out after two plays, right,
I feel like I'm about to get into a rhythm
and I'm going to show this tackle my next move
because I didn't get to my next move. I only
got to my one move and I get a chance
to show a different move. I do think there's there's
some truth to that, and I understand again why he

(09:49):
didn't get those reps or didn't get those snaps on
a consistent basis. But now that by the fault he's
gotten them, I think it's helped him a ton.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
Well.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
I was just gonna ask Richard, listen, this is a
really big game for the Bengals. I feel like they
have to win this. What happens if they lose to
the Bills on Sunday, believe it or not, they still
have a chance to play.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
I can't believe, but yes, I.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Wrote this. I wrote a story about this on Sunday
that literally, if they win out, they probably will make
the playoffs at nine and eight, because you will give
Baltimore a seventh loss. Baltimore and Pittsburgh played twice each.
You know somebody's losing at least one of those games,
if not two of those games. Baltimore still has to play.
I'm doing this off the top of my head. I
always get this confused. Baltimore still believe has to play
the Patriots and at the Packers or might be vice versa.

(10:37):
And yeah, the Steelers will have to play at the
Lions and at the Browns. And at the Browns is
not going to be easy for a Pittsburgh offense. It
isn't very good. So you can see them getting to
at least eight, possibly nine losses. If the Bengals go
eight and nine with a win over Baltimore and a
win over Cleveland, if they lose to Buffalo, they'll have
a five and one division record and they'll hold all

(10:58):
the tiebreakers in the division with that five one division records,
so eight and nine could get them in. So this
is not a must win. I will say this, This
is a win. This is a needed win because a
it kind of reinforces Burrows back defense playing better. We're
gonna get on a roll like we did last year.
And I also think just from a variable standpoint, it

(11:18):
avoids the fact that if you do lose this game,
you need a lot of help and you just can't
always count on that. You may think you'll get it,
and you're hoping you'll get it, and maybe the other
team showed it that they can beat them and get it,
but you don't want to have to count on that. Again,
I think they went out at nine and eight. I
think they get at least again. That would give the
Ravens a seventh loss. The Ravens are losing at least

(11:39):
one other game other than that to eight. You go
to nine and eight, Pitchborg's at least losing eight. You're
getting in.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah, and for what it's worth, and again a small
sample size, my eyes tell me the Bengals are the
best team in the AFC North right now? Right, I mean,
you know, in terms of who would you rather not
play of the AFC North teams, if you're an opponent,
you'd say the Bengals. Right now, I think no, no,
no doubt.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
And again that can change with Lamar Jackson's health. I
don't think Lamar's right. I think we saw that on
Thursday night the Thanksgiving that game, he just did not
look right. And a lot revolves around Lamar. I mean,
he's a big part of what they do. It's not
a great Baltimore defense to you that can carry them.
It's good enough. And they had the five game winning streak,
but go look back at the quarterbacks they played in

(12:22):
that five game winning streak. No knock. I mean, schedules
all shape up differently, but yeah, they're no juggernaut, and honestly,
Pittsburgh just looks an absolute mess at the moment. Now,
Mike Tom's a genius that find out the ways they
have winning records. But even if he goes to nine
and eight, when the Bengals go to nine and eight,
they split, the Bengals would go five and one in
the division. The Bengals would have the tiebreaker.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Well, skin Out, I want you to enjoy the games
tonight and then tomorrow around eleven fifty, I want you
to lay down the couch with a glass of bourbon,
and I want you to come off that couch to
about I don't know, ten pm Sunday, All right, does
that sound good?

Speaker 2 (12:56):
So Rocky, that is my witness. That's probably what's gonna happen?
What are you doing on Saturday? And I literally I went,
I don't know. What are you know? She's well and
she said, my oldest daughter and we're going to the
theater and going to dinner late after they go. Good enough,
I'll watch it all Street.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Gotcha, I'm good.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
I got everything at home.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yes, well, Skin, enjoy the games, brother, I early appreciate
you today and thanks so much. I have a good guys,
stick h Richard Skinner and Local twelve. It is a
great weekend for sports if that's your thing.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
We got a healthy Joe Burrow. And you know, even
if they don't win, they still have a chance.

Speaker 5 (13:31):
Very chance.

Speaker 1 (13:31):

All right, welcome back, Rocky alongside Donna Dee and coming
up here. Uh what about I don't know. Eight ten
minutes we're gonna talk to John mattter Reese. And one
of the topics Donald that John wants to discuss is
that should you use AI to find a gift for
your wife? Now, we had a guest, I think it

(15:49):
was yesterday, you know, talking about that. You know, that's
kind of the big trend is you know you ask
AI to you know, I my wife, she likes horses
and and this, and she's such and such years old,
and boom, it just tells you the perfect gifts. Yeah,
And I don't know how you feel about it, But
I'm like, can we do anything ourselves anymore? Seriously? Like

(16:13):
we use AI for I don't use it a lot,
but I know, I know people use AI for a
lot of things.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
But what's your thoughts? Well, I actually agree with you
on this, Rockey. We don't agree on everything, but I do.
It's like, where is the huge there? AI can do
quite a few things, but there's no emotion in AI.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
No human humans.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
I'm gonna bet on humans every time.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
I know people are all in on AI and you
can make so much money and you're gonna do this
and people are already missing the human interaction. There you are,
So I'm putting my money on human interaction. I feel
like there's gonna be a certain surge in AI, especially
maybe not so much in twenty twenty six, but twenty

(16:57):
seven and beyond. And these robots are pretty scared and
they're so human like, but people are going to miss
that human the flaws of humans, the the compassion, the
the sarcasm.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
The robots don't have that. AI doesn't have that. So
when you go analytical boom right right, wrong?

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Yes, No, what makes sense for a Christmas gift for
your wife? If she's a horse lover. Fine, give you
ten ideas, but what if it's something that you thought
about that only you know about.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
We'll always say the thought that counts, which maybe it's not.
Maybe people just like a good gift, but it's like,
you know, you give that gift to my wife, just
oh that was how thoughtful. And it's like, well, I
didn't think of it the computer exactly. You thank the
computer because I did absolutely nothing right. But yeah, I

(17:51):
just I keep hearing that a guy is going to
make our lives easier, and I believe that it will.
But it's like, at what point is it a total crutch?
At what point are we We're gonna miss like critical
thinking if you don't, if you don't use your brain,
it just it goes away. Right, So if you don't
have that moment where you're like, let me think, can me,
you know, think for a few minutes, what's she like?

(18:12):
Just those that going through that process, and then other
times you don't go through that process, does it add
up to the fact that, I mean, and no one's
gonna be able to say or think or come up
with anything without reaching for their phone and going, well,
what do I think about?

Speaker 4 (18:26):
This right and sitting still and being bored for a second.

All Right, it is Friday, and is that time to

your money and John Don and I were talking about
this but before we joined with you here about the
amount of folks using AI to find a gift for
your wife. Can I find a good gift for my
wife John using AI where I've used any brain power

(20:35):
at all?

My wife does not want an air fryer, and she
certainly doesn't want a vacuum cleaner. I'm glad that suggested
knee Dyson, or she would hit me over the head
with the vacuum cleaner. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah, I got this great vacuum in this pott and pans.

Speaker 5 (22:43):
Set here by the way.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
That's for us and the household for me, and I'm.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Going to watch football. You figure how to use it, honey, Yeah,
I'm going to be watching football, right.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
Don't play around with it. You get the fun part
to try and figure it out.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
So it's it comes up with suggestions and it's it's
kind of cool, you know, and then it'll link to
the site. A couple of problems with it. You know,
you just brought that up, like an air fier, I
want air fryer. So that's one thing. It doesn't really know.
It doesn't really know what you want. It's just going
based on a description of you. The other issue is,

(23:20):
and this is coming up with some small businesses just said, wait,
wait a minute. Every time people ask AI for gifts suggestions,
it suggests something at the big retailers, in other words, Amazon, Walmart.
It's not going to send anybody to that cute little
shop on Vine Street, that cute little store in Oakley,

(23:44):
or you know, in in downtown Mason or something. It
doesn't know about them. And so you know, it's you're
asking to come up with gifts. And there's some really
neat boutiques that we've all been to, some little stores
that sell you know, little art and scars and all
these things. It doesn't know they exist. So it's going

(24:05):
to send you to Amazon, Walmart and Macy's every time,
and the small businesses are saying, who whoa, whoa, whoa whoa,
this ain't good for us. So that's going to be
interesting to see how that shakes out. We don't know
how that's going to shake out, but that that's a
little bit of a concern. Yeah, again, that local artist.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
And how smart is chat TBT? When I come to
that stuff, can you say, I want a perfect gift
for my wife who is thirty nine years old and
she loves you know, tennis, and we want it from
a local shop or or something non commercial. I don't know.
Can you can you prompt it to do that?

Speaker 2 (24:43):
It strug It struggles because it doesn't really know what
local shops have. That's the problem. It can say, you know, oh,
check out these three stores and over the rhine, but
it doesn't know what they have. So that's going to
be real interesting to see what happens with that. And
here's the thing. You get her one of those gifts,
you know, you get her that air fryer, vacuum cleaner.

(25:05):
She hate it. You know, you can just blame it
on Ai, honey.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
That was my idea, that's such a good idea for
your wife chat PT your Christmas gift.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yes, I would admit it.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah, that'll get her when you admit, you admit that
you didn't pick out that gift. You just ask chat
GPT to pick out a gift and then you click
the order button. That's gonna make her even more man.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
I agree. I think women, you know, girlfriend's wives would
because they want the thought behind it all. And if
you didn't think of it, then.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
Don't you too, of course, okay, because.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
It's I mean, if you get something that is a
thoughtful gift, there's nothing that compares. There is a cute
little idea here from chatchy PT. I will say, the
personalized wifey Christmas ornament romantic thing like that's kind of
a cute idea.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, see I got this like this little pink number
don for Sorry.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
Well, John, I don't know, I don't imagine.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Said Frederick Hollywood.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
I don't know where is that eddieph Yeah, we're throwing
we're throwing Eddie under the bus here because he's off today.
But it would probably come back with like twenty four
X rated gifts from the Gifts to Death.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yes, yes, extra gifts succording to add uh, we only
got about a minute a half John. But also I
guess you know, it's that time of year. So you're
getting those scam delivery messages and you click on them
and all hell bracelews so we got.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
He So careful everybody's getting them. I'm getting them. You know,
you get something about PayPal that you've ordered, something like
wait a minute, I didn't order something, and then you
got the USPS or the ups text, the FedEx text
saying click here to update your order, to check on
your order. Don't click on any of that stuff. It's

(27:03):
you can't guarantee that it's real. In most cases, it's not.
In most cases of scam, scammers are sending out millions
of them, getting people to click, getting people to enter
their information.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Don't do that.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
You know, if you have a question about your order,
everybody has real time tracking anymore. So you go to
the site and you say, where's my order. That's why
everyone loves Amazon. You get on Amazon and it's like
status of your order, and then even though I'll send
you a picture of it sitting on the neighbor's doorstep,
it's delivered. So be really careful of those emails because

(27:36):
they're going to get you the emails and the text
messages about your deliveries. Be real careful. If you have
any question at all, just forward the gift to John matterieve.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
You will check it out whether we consulted chat GBT
or or did it ourselves, right.

Speaker 2 (27:55):

The President's executive order on citizenship will be considered by
the US Supreme Court. This is the four o'clock report.
I'm Matt Reeese breaking now. The nation's highest court has
agreed to consider the case on birthright citizenship. The President
wants to abolish it, issued an executive order to do so,

(28:54):
and that was challenged in court. Justices have already ruled
on a case regarding that issue.

Speaker 10 (29:00):
Just about a year ago, the Supreme Court heard a
case involving the President's attempt to end birthright citizenship, but
at that time, the justices were squarely focused on whether
individual courts around the country could block the order while
the litigation continued. They ultimately said that nationwide injunctions were
not okay, but judges found ways around them. That executive

(29:22):
order remains on hold. Birthright citizenships is still the policy
of the land. But now the President is back to
the Supreme Court asking them to decide this issue on
the merits.

Speaker 5 (29:33):

Long outside d today and done. A lot of folks
a lot of attention right now on the the Venezuela
boat strike. Yeah, Trump administration is droning and sending him
the Kingdom. Come but is it legal? And join us
right now? We always love having him on. Jeremy Rosenthal,
he's our legal expert. He's tried over two hundred jury cases,

(34:49):
has received not guilty verdicts at every level of state
court from first degree felonies. It's the serious misdemeanor. So
he knows what he's talking about. Jeremy, how are you?
Or do do I know what I'm talking about? Maybe
I'll let you know here in about ten minutes, you
let me know. You let me know.

Speaker 5 (35:07):
He's gonna be the judge in.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Jury on this one.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
So look a lot of people you know the thing
differently on should we be blowing him out of the water.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
I do.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Some people don't like it, but again from a legal
standpoint is, does the Trump administration have the ability the
go ahead to do this. I've not seen any litigation
come from it, so it leads me to believe yes.

Speaker 16 (35:32):
But what do you say, Well, okay, so we got
to kind of compartmentalize this. We've got the one strike
that happened at the beginning of September, where that was
your double tap strike, where there was there was the
one hit, and then the allegation against Pete Hegseth where
he's alleged to have ordered another strike, you know, and

(35:52):
I don't know if he said kill them all or
whatever he said that one. I think you can sort
of isolate because I don't think we're doing that again.
And I think that that that the administration and everybody
has sort of backed off of that, and and I
don't know that we're gonna be striking subsequently like that. Again,
the strikes in general against these boats is borderline, right.

(36:13):
There's a lot of arguments really foreign against it. The
administration is basically saying, look, we're at war with these cartels.
The cartels have guns, and the way that the cartels
fund all these things is through this drug trafficking. Therefore,
these are enemy combatants. Okay, fine, we can go with that, right.
So so that's sort of the administration's uh view on

(36:34):
that which is disputed. Look, I mean and the and
the the naysayers are saying, well, okay, they don't have
a fifty cow, they don't have all these these other
weapons on them, so are they really combatants that you've
got that fight? But what's really troubling about that other
incident was that you really you you had shipwrecked sailors essentially,
and and it's pretty problematic if if they got struck

(36:56):
in that in that position.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Now, of course I do, and I watched the press conference.
According to a spokesperson of the Department of War, every
one of these boats has been verified to have drugs
on it. So there's not like these it's not like
a fishing boat. And I also read that each one
of these boats are to the tune of like two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. They're not some rickety little

(37:19):
frigate that a fisherman's on like it leads you to
believe without a lot of assumption that these are these
are designed to bring drugs into America.

Speaker 16 (37:30):
Yeah, these I don't think anybody thinks that that what's
going on is okay, that the drug traffic is okay.
And and the question is is can you treat these
people as enemy combatants? You know we we've done that
in the past, sort of with nine to eleven terrorists.
If you go back to the Civil War, you know,
you look at the people who you know, some of

(37:51):
the Confederates that would go and you know the John
Wilkes booth, you know, assassins and and the conspiracy. You know,
we treated them like enemy combatants. You can make that argument.
And and it's and it's it's what it is. It's
an argument, right, so so and and and when you're
talking about these initial ones, I don't know that anybody
is out there there. There's there's gonna be more oversight.

(38:12):
You know, the the the legislature is pledged.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
We're going to go in.

Speaker 16 (38:15):
We're gonna give these a harder look, bipartisan, so they're
gonna shine a bigger spotlight on it. You would also think,
hopefully there's a deterrent effect. I don't know about you,
but if they're asking me to go on a boat
in Venezuela to come to America on with all that
stuff or wherever. I'm probably gonna I'm I'm gonna tell
them I need to rearrange my sock drawer. I'm sure
the cartels.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
More things busy to America. Yes, yeah, I'm not. I'm
not doing that.

Speaker 16 (38:41):
You know, you guys have seen nobody comes back from that,
you know, So, uh, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
I'm not gonna go do that.

Speaker 16 (38:46):
But I'm sure the cartels can be persuasive when they
need to be right, but in their own ways. But yeah, so,
so it'll be interesting to see if these sort of
tail off, you know, to see if if if they
continue for no other reason, then maybe it's effective in
stopping the trafficking.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
So, Jeremy, I have a question too, Actually, one, do
you think Pete Heggs I always get hiss, I always
get his stay wrong, is going to survive this because
a lot of people are saying he's like on the
chopping block.

Speaker 5 (39:16):
And the other thing is.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
President Trump talked about a ground boar in Venezuela. Do
you think that's going to happen because of this as well?

Speaker 16 (39:25):
Well, it seems like Trump is making a lot of
headway with Maduro in Venezuela. So I don't know that
that's necessarily going to happen. But this is a big
problem for Pete Hags says, and and and okay, so
and understand this when it comes to the Uniform Code
of Military Justice, I was following orders is not that

(39:45):
doesn't work. And the admiral who ordered this, all the
way down to the person who pushed the button, they
could be very well liable if this is a war crime,
so so that they could be you know, this could
be very problematic for them. And and if they can
put Pete Hegsa's fingerprints on this, then that's gonna be

(40:07):
problematic for him too. And he's sort of been circling
the wagons. Trump Trump also sort of distanced himself from that,
which is not something you see him do a whole
heck of a lot.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
So so it'll be interesting to see where it goes.
But what and Jeremy Rosenthal is our guest, a legal expert,
But what about precedent when you look back in the past,
when America has has done things to intervene on other countries.
I remember, you know, when I was young, the United
States went into Panama and removed uh Noriega, right like

(40:40):
just why because this was you know, we thought it
was a danger to our country and other countries, so
we went in there and did it. I pointed to
something like that, are there. I mean, as to me,
what comes down to is do we have precedence from
the past where this has been okay? And does it
apply to what's going on now? That's a that's a

(41:01):
great question.

Speaker 16 (41:02):
And and yeah, Panama is actually sort of what my
mind goes to, because yes, that was sort of a
that that was combat really for for you know, when
with the drug trafficking, and that that was our main
concern with with Manuel Noriega, that this is you know,
I I I think the the the people who are

(41:24):
against this, I think their argument is that that it's
a little too attenuated. Again, the theory behind attacking these
boats is that it's these drugs that are funding the
war and or that are funding the cartels, and it's
the cartels that have all these weapons. So from that standpoint,
you can sort of link one to two to three
to four. And in Panama it's a lot more clear.

(41:46):
Right they have weapons, Right, that's that's a sovereign and
and that that that's a nation state, and and so here,
it's just it's an attenuated argument. And then and if
we give the administration the benefit of the doubt, and
I really do think most people are if we give
the administration the benefit of the doubt, I think that
what we're seeing here is this situation in September with

(42:09):
a double tap bombing. I think that's a step too
far for a lot of folks on Capitol Hill.

Speaker 4 (42:15):
Yeah, I mean, I think we can all agree that
we don't want drugs coming into this country. I mean
that they've been shipped in by many different ways and
things like that, but you know, firing and I didn't
read what Rocky read about, you know, all the drugs
being on the ships.

Speaker 5 (42:32):
I didn't see that.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
But if that's the case, do they still have authority
to blow up a ship if we know that drugs
and guns and things like that are on the legal
aspect of it.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (42:46):
So, interestingly enough, with military training in the UCMJ training,
the specific example that has been given is that you
cannot fire upon shipwrecked sailors. So you can say, yes,
we're trying to destroy the cargo, but you can't. You
can't fire on shipwrecked sailors. And and and so yes,

(43:07):
you know, and I've heard an argument that, look, well, okay,
so we were gonna kill these people with one bomb,
what does the differences to make if we're gonna use
to and and and I get that, you know, I
was in the army.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
You know, you've seen my picture the.

Speaker 16 (43:19):
Because they need real they need five seven guys that
are tough like me.

Speaker 17 (43:24):
But like, uh, what they trained us is that if
we are attacking an objective, that what they've trained us
is that you you raid an objective, you go through
the objective, you su you secure it, you create a perimeter.

Speaker 16 (43:37):
If you go backwards right when you're when you're going
through the objective, you shoot everybody that you can. You know,
and you know, you know, you do your job, You
do your mission. Once your perimeter secured, if you go
back and shoot somebody, that's murder. So that is now now,
if they're coming and attacking you, I think all bets.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
Are off right.

Speaker 16 (43:56):
So it's really really hard to make the argument that
this boat in the water already having been disabled, yes
it's got contraband that that's a real hard one. But
I would also say that the administration's defense here has
been more so we didn't make that order, right. I
think that's kind of what I've heard. Pete Hegsa said

(44:16):
is no, I didn't order that, and Trump has said, yeah, no,
a second shot wouldn't have been okay with me.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
But that's not what happened here.

Speaker 16 (44:24):
So I I also think that that that's the administration's position,
as I understand it is that we didn't we didn't
make that order.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Interesting, well, we will see out all develops. Jeremy. We
I really appreciate you joining us here on a Friday.

made several accusations including police brutality.

The City of Cincinnati and Hamlin County have now agreed
to pay eight million dollars to settle a lawsuit filed
after the George Floyd protests of twenty twenty. A group
of demonstrators claimed that their First Amendment rights had been
violated when then Mayor John Cranley imposed a city wide curfew,
which led to nearly five hundred people being arrested. A
vast majority of the settlement will be covered by the

Cincinnati P p Lasse Department will also have to develop
new standards for how to respond to protests in the future.

of the President's executive order on birthright citizenship.

Speaker 18 (51:44):
In agreeing to take the case, the High Court signals
it's ready to decide whether the President can, by executive order,
determine that children born to parents here illegally or on
temporary visas aren't citizens. Lower courts have resoundingly rejected the
White House's view, citing the Fourteenth Amendment and prior Supreme
Court rulings on birthright citizenship that date back more than
a century. Now, the Justices will hear arguments on both

Speaker 11 (54:35):
Let me tell you one of the reasons I think
we became the largest injury firm in the world, and
it's not even close. I'm John Morgan, and Morgan and Morgan,
my wife and I at a plane wanted to get
into here.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
Yeah, we got to talk about the ZEMBI because and
again we had a good topic discussion on the other
day because I'm kind of fascinating with it because it's
it is a big thing, right, There's a lot of
people on it in I mean the stats we had
the other day. A lot of folks are trying it
and a lot of folks having success. We has some

(55:08):
great callers. But I think you agree there's a point where,
especially with the folks in Hollywood, I mean, taken it
to the point where they look like aliens.

Speaker 4 (55:18):
Well, there's this thing called ozembic face, and you can
see somebody's on it because it's like drawn out, like
your face is super thin and your eyes are.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
Droopy, and it's almost like it it goes the fat
of your face or something. Yeah, where it's yeah, well,
when you lose I mean listen.

Speaker 5 (55:39):
PJ. Street has been on.

Speaker 4 (55:40):
We've talked about it with him where I asked him
the question, what do you think about it?

Speaker 1 (55:44):
He said, anybody that is forty.

Speaker 4 (55:46):
Or fifty pounds overweight or more, there's no reason why
you shouldn't get on ozempic. Your joints are going to
kill you. You diabetes, all your organs can go into
failure and all those things. But there's people that are
taking it that have, you know, ten teen pounds, and
then they feel good.

Speaker 5 (56:02):
You feel good not eating so much.

Speaker 4 (56:04):
That's the thing people forget, is like you give yourself,
you're less tired. You think that, oh my god, you
get those angry pains for a second, and then you
get over it and then you feel so good you
just want to keep going. So it's addicting to be
on ozempic too. Lose sounds like so much weight, right, No,

(56:25):
I agree, But I think Wicked cast, I mean, and Aliens.

Speaker 5 (56:32):
Sincerely, all three.

Speaker 4 (56:34):
There's a whole big thing on on the Wicked cast
before Wicked and after and who they've never admitted that
they were on ozempic, but they're all whisper then.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
But at no point in her life was like boys
she could lose even ten pounds. No, I ever, she
was a skinny girl all the time. And now she's
on it and looks like a skeleton.

Speaker 4 (56:58):
But Kelly Osborne we mentioned before we went into the break,
Kelly Osborne was pretty obese. I mean like she was,
Oh yes, she had probably forty pounds to lose, Yeah,
maybe maybe more.

Speaker 5 (57:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
She got on it. It was helpful. Sharon Osborne got
on it too.

Speaker 4 (57:15):
She does not look good either, But Kelly is just
she looks like she's aged twenty five years.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
And I know I talked to PJ. I read up
on it and how it works. Is a appetite suppressant. Yeah,
but how these people want to look in it. It
makes you feel like there's something more to it, right,
It's not just you're not eating. Just how the again,
how the cheese look and the droopiness and the eyes
that it feels like it's more than just Okay, I

(57:44):
don't want to eat now I'm getting skinny because yeah.

Speaker 4 (57:46):
Yeah, and we don't know, you know, all the side
effects on it. I know that I have very good
friends that have been on it that it has been
super helpful for them. Yeah, and Lou lost thirty thirty
five pounds, But yeah, I I don't people you can
tell you know some other people that are in Hollywood
that we that we see Simon Cowell as one of them.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
Bradley Cooper. You know, I just looked at a picture
on the Internet.

Speaker 5 (58:11):
I was like, gee, he was a good looking guy.

Speaker 4 (58:14):
He's he's doing too much, I think in terms of
like photos and stuff.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
They're comparing him now to Barry Manilow.

Speaker 5 (58:23):
Which is so bad.

Speaker 1 (58:26):
When you did put the side by side up, it
looks kind of the same Donald. And I think is
amazing is how how trends just kind of come and go,
and like with any trend, like when you're in the
middle of it, you're like, there's no way that no
people will ever go away from this trend, right, Like yeah,
but I mean not that. Not that long ago, we

(58:47):
were in this big especially when it comes to actors
and actresses and singers body positivity, right, and that was
if you're obese, that's fine, which I don't I don't
believe that at all. So it was all you know,
the way you look and not oh blah blah blah blah.
And now it's like the same people that were saying
that a couple of years later are all like, I
want to get as skinny as possible. I mean, like skinny,

(59:10):
like the eighties was skinny. It was with the old day.
We should talk about you know, the models back then
they looked like a coat hanger right there, that skinny,
skinny legs and the clothes just kind of hung off.
Like we're back to that.

Speaker 9 (59:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
Well, I mean, listen, there's there's always going to be
like some overcorrection to stuff too. And Liz Lizzo is
one of those body positive and stuff and she's lost
a ton of weight now too.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
It's not it's not about being.

Speaker 4 (59:38):
You know, if you're overweight and and and you feel
good about yourself, good for you.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
It's your health too that's causing some some issues. Agreed. Agreed.
All right, So we got a couple of calls rolling
in here. It's good to Mason and talk to Rob,
Rob fire away, please, yeah.

Speaker 19 (59:54):
Nothing but the facts. Thanks for letting me on.

Speaker 3 (59:57):
So I don't know.

Speaker 19 (59:59):
Two years ago, started on ozympic because I'm a cardio
patient and they said, hey, we got this new thing.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
You got to really try this.

Speaker 19 (01:00:06):
It's weight loss and it's a doctor in the office
and blah blah blah. So they put me on the
maximum dose of ozempic right out of the box. Two
three weeks later, I'm not feeling too good. I end
up well, you know, it changes how.

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
Your lower parts work.

Speaker 19 (01:00:25):
So all of a sudden, four or five six days
later and nothing's been working, and I end up going
to the ear and they're like oh you you're doing Ozmpic,
aren't you. Yeah, well, you know, my cardio doctor recommended it,
my fat controlled doctor recommended it. And I'm doing what

(01:00:45):
they said. I'm hitting my belly once a week. Long
story short. They gave you the same stuff. You can
buy it at Kroger for ninety nine cents. You take
it before you party, expression have a colonoscomy and you know,
Dana half later, there's nothing less than your system. They
give you that in about three or four hours. You

(01:01:09):
spend the next four or five hours in your off
the room, in the shower.

Speaker 12 (01:01:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
Yeah, I try to not be too specifical. I think
we get it, Rob, we get it, man, and that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
I lost like.

Speaker 19 (01:01:23):
Seven or eight pounds, But then I switched to if
I can say it, mon Jero, I lost seventy seventy
pounds healthfully in a year. I went from two to
eighty five down to the way I was in high
school playing tackle. And by god, it's seventy four years old.

(01:01:43):
I'm rough and tough and ready to go.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
Good for you, Rob, Good for you ladies. Call me
anytime you where you go. All right, Rob, you will
pass your number A ready mangle. Yeah, so I guess
that's because I have heard that some of them have
give you a kind of g I yeah, digestive stuff,
and so maybe one's not good with the other happens

(01:02:06):
of work. Let's take one more call here, Let's go
to Franklin Township and talk to Randy. Randy fire Away. Hey, guys,
how's it going good?

Speaker 3 (01:02:15):
Good? Yeah, I've been on it for about four years,
and you know, the viscerous fat and the cobo abidities
of being you know, barbily obese, right, which is you know,
the BMI scale is that I think needs to be
redone anyway, but you know, you start shedding pounds and
you become more active obviously the heart health and I

(01:02:36):
think that you know, they're finding out some indications for
you know, with the Alzheimer's and just you know, literally
it's it's been a miracle drug for me as far
as you know, with the forty five pounds and it
it's like you know, the joints, the thing I don't
have to go to the doctor to you know, all
my back hurts or oh I got this or I

(01:02:57):
got that. Yeah, And it's a deal that it's just
like anything else though. I mean, you can ty trate
that up. It's not just like it's one dose. There's
different doses of it, right, And I think when you
find your sweet spot as far as unfortunately, I think
I'm gonna have to be on it for the rest
of my life. I want to.

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
So that was my question, Randy. Is you said you've
been on for four years, which seems like a long time.
I mean, have you ever taken a break from it
and when you do, boom the hunger comes back and
the pounds come back, and you think you're gonna be
on it forever or what?

Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
Yeah, I'm gonna have to be because getting off of it, Yeah,
I'm you know, hitting the drive through again, and I
do want to. You know that it's called grilling. It's
what you know, the Caveman molecule in here whatever that
makes you hungry or you know, like I passed Big
Boy a couple of days ago there since a date
and I'm like, oh, man, I want to. It's like,

(01:03:50):
you know, thank God the intervention. I couldn't get over
into the right lane and I passed it and within
you know, fifteen seconds later, I'm like, man, I got
to look good. For the pool this summing, right, so right, yeah,
I think I'll be on it for for you know,
as long as it continues to do where I'm at
and once you find that peach in that plateau, you know,

(01:04:11):
I'm doing the peptides too, which I think you're something
to look at maybe with PJ sometimes.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
Yeah, we actually we talked about that a little bit
a couple of weeks ago, the peptides thing. Now, now
let me ask you this, did do you experience any
negative side effects from it? Because that's that's what I
think that to me, it seems like the two downsides
are cost It seems pretty expensive if if you don't
you have the q pons and this sort of thing,

(01:04:37):
and then you know the the the you know, side
effects sort of thing.

Speaker 3 (01:04:42):
Uh And and absolutely, I mean it's like alcohol, right
if I smash, you know, some tequila and a bunch
of beer and I feel like craps the next morning. Right,
But you know, if if I eat right and and
don't overindulge, and that's the biggest thing, you know, it's
it's it's what I need or what I want, And
if you can control that, I think that that helps

(01:05:04):
me control it. To you know, one doughnuts good? Three
donuts are not right?

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:05:10):
Gotcha? Yeah, Ranny, thanks to call buddy. Appreciate well it
is And he said he had a good point. Once
you start losing weight, then you get more active. It
is a compounding, it's exactly. It's a wonderful tool for
people that have struggled with weight loss in this country
and beyond.

Speaker 5 (01:05:29):
So it's it is extremely helpful.

Speaker 4 (01:05:31):
But those that take it a little bit too far,
that's what we're talking about, people that start looking weird
on it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
Yeah, and I worry about taking something forever. Four years
is a long time. It's a long time. And yeah,
I don't think you should be on anything. I try
to take as little as possible of anything, just because
you never know how that with your box.

Speaker 5 (01:05:53):
Right, you don't.

Speaker 4 (01:05:54):
I mean, luckily, I don't take any medication at all, thankfully,
knock on wood. But I mean there are people that
you know, do take heart mediciner or cholesterol. Cholesterol is
a big deal. Yeah, cholesterol pills and style that's for life.

Please join me in the morning for the latest news, weather, traffic, sports,

Speaker 15 (01:08:06):
This report is sponsored by Backs the Tractor, your Combota headquarters,
backslatractor dot com. Backs of the Tractor has Cincinnati's combotas that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:13):
I did a week long fast thing where I would
no food food, no food food, so four days, no food,
you know that that kind of thing.

Speaker 5 (01:08:24):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
And to report back, I I didn't love it. I
didn't hate it, you know I didn't. I actually didn't
feel that hungry like or it was like affecting my
mind until dinner. So I feel like I could go,
you know, no breakfast, no lunch kind of thing, and
then just show down for dinner.

Speaker 5 (01:08:46):
I think that's good.

Speaker 4 (01:08:47):
They say, if you can fast once a week, twenty
four hours once a week, the chances of you getting sick,
like with a cold or flu or anything like that
dropped dramatic. Really, Yeah, I did it because I believe
fast thing is really good for your system, just to
reset and get rid of all those old food particles
that are in there and stell. So the longest I

(01:09:09):
did was over three days, seven seventy four hours, and
by the end I was like.

Speaker 5 (01:09:15):
Looking at the clock waiting to eat. I was hungry.

Speaker 1 (01:09:20):
Yeah, I got to say that. There was one night,
like the last night, I literally went to bed early
because I'm like, I can't wake up, I can't wait
to wake up for it. I'm sorry, I got you all.

Speaker 5 (01:09:30):
Oh, it's exactly how I felt.

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
It was.

Speaker 4 (01:09:32):
It was the moment of like, all right, it's a
mental mountain you're climbing too. I mean, it is absolutely
good for discipline and to push yourself and wow, this
isn't even that hard because you get like these hunger
panes and then if you just you know, sit through it,
have a big glass of water or you know whatever,
in fifteen minutes those are gone and then you feel amazing,

(01:09:54):
Like how do I feel so amazing without eating so much?

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
It's it's really unbelievable. I was able to work to
work out on it too, Like I work out in
the morning, and it wasn't like I know, like, oh
my god, I'm dragging here.

Speaker 19 (01:10:06):
Yeah, that was.

Speaker 1 (01:10:07):
That was fine. Now, if I had gone two days
without food and try to work out, it might have
been different, I would say. And again I didn't. Who
knows what if I experience any of the cleansing stuff
that you talked about. I don't disagree with what you're
saying because you hear that. The only thing that I
noticed was at night, I was I was colder. I'm

(01:10:27):
usually hot, right, I sleep hot, but I mean it
was it was actually in the hotel when I was
down in Gainesville, and you know, I usually keep it
pretty cold, but I put on like a shirt or
bad So that was the one thing that maybe they
were coincidental.

Speaker 4 (01:10:44):
But but your body isn't working as much because you're
not putting so much food in there. Your body works
a ton to digest the food that you eat. So
if you're constantly replenishing the food in your system, your
body is just constantly working and you become an oven
from inside out. So that makes a total sense. There
are people that do fasting for like forty days.

Speaker 5 (01:11:05):
I don't know how. I don't know how.

Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
That's that one actor, the guy there's so all Blart
guy like he was all with Joe Rogan, talks about
He's like, yeah, what as long as you've gone you
fast He's like, you know, he says something look crazy,
like thirty days or something. Thirty days.

Speaker 4 (01:11:20):
Yeah, there's a there's a hip hop artist Kevin Gates
who talks about fasting and secure for everything.

Speaker 1 (01:11:25):

Here we go our number three Rocky alongside Donna. D
We're having a good time, hope, so you are too,
so don we wanted to get into Everybody has a
lot of a lot of folks listen, have kids out there,
and social media and all the lots of upside, lots
of downside, but it is certainly pervasive in our culture.

(01:18:37):
And I think people understand social media and all the
apps and all the things can be bad, but it's
hard to hard to break away from them.

Speaker 5 (01:18:45):
Right yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:18:46):
And the one thing that we all have now, I
think most people on this planet have a cell phone,
an iPhone or Galaxy or Android, whatever you want to
call it. The teachers in this country are now kind
of rising up and saying, Houston, we have a problem
here because these kids, their attention span is minute. And

(01:19:11):
the reason why they're they're coming out and like you know,
whistleblowers here is because the more that they spend on
the phone, the iPhone, the social media accounts and what
you're talking about, the more dopamine they have.

Speaker 5 (01:19:27):
And it's they're never bored.

Speaker 4 (01:19:29):
There's always scrolling, there's always something to order, there's always
something to watch, there's always someone to call or text
or whatever, and what happens is you lose focus when
you're not bored, and you lose creativity. And that's what's
happening to our kids right now.

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
And you've got a kid right, twelve year old, and
it's like, yeah, we're deciding because you know, he wants
a cell phone or his friends have a cell phone.
And also, look, you know we don't have We don't
have a landline in our house like most people. So
when we're gone, he's old off where he can stay
by the house. How do you talk to him kind
of thing? And we had him one of those flip

(01:20:06):
phones and they suck, they do. They're terrible.

Speaker 4 (01:20:10):
And of iPhone is a safety thing too for parents.
There there's a reason to have it right right. So yeah,
but but to your point about never being bored.

Speaker 1 (01:20:22):
I was watching this. It wasn't specifically about kids, but
this guy was making a point that is. His rant
was called the Death of Hobbies, like you saying no
one has hobbies anymore. He said people have side hustles, like, hey,
I like knitting, so I'm gonna have a little knitting
business on the side record make money. He said people
don't do little task just because they like to do it,

(01:20:46):
not like you know the days of where you don't
know you cook, not so you could sell your cookies,
but you just like cooking. Or if you're a man,
a young man, you like to carve ball. Right, you
did it. You weren't trying to sell the boy. You
just did it because And you're saying, because people don't

(01:21:06):
you did hobbies because you were bored. But no one's
bored anymore, so therefore all the hobbies have gone with
I thought was I'd never thought of that.

Speaker 4 (01:21:16):
And teachers are saying kids are now struggling to read
one to two pages without drifting. That's not a good sign.
I mean, that's kind of hard. Students can't stay off
phones even when they want to. I listen, I will
say for my own addiction with my iPhone I, it's
a problem and I literally have to take take iPhone

(01:21:40):
naps from it. And that's what they suggest parents do.
But right now, as parents go through this, they they're
on their iPhones, their kids are on their phones. Then
you know, then they'll come and talk to their parents
who are on their iPhones, and then you know there's
a time where you spend talking to your kids.

Speaker 1 (01:21:59):
Well, I know I have caught myself, you know, because
you know the kids will want the kids will grab
my wife's phone and I'll be like, get off the phone.
Well what am I doing.

Speaker 5 (01:22:08):
I'm on my phone. I'm telling him that.

Speaker 1 (01:22:10):
It's like you're the biggest ever read in the entire world.
So yes, they they it's learned behavior from from us.
So yeah, we can say it's the young people all
we want, but it's it's adults, it's older people. It's
where we all have a problem with.

Speaker 4 (01:22:24):
Everybody. Everybody has a problem with it. And I fear
that AI that's coming. This is a callback to what
we did earlier, that the fears of AI and and
getting more and more intrusive into our lives. It's a
little scary because the iPhone has been like I if
I don't know where my iPhone is, I go into
panic mode. Right, you start like in your pocket, I

(01:22:46):
do get my watch so I can beep and find
out where my iPhone is. There are five powerful ways
parents can protect children's attention spans.

Speaker 1 (01:22:55):
Do you want to hear yes?

Speaker 4 (01:22:56):
Okay, So the first thing, and we talked about this
just to second ago, create phone free focus blocks. So
do it in twenty five thirty minute increments. If your
kids do have cell phones, you want to nurture that
board state. You want to get them into that place
because they can focus more, they can be creative more,
get into finding hobbies and things like that.

Speaker 5 (01:23:19):
That's the step one.

Speaker 4 (01:23:20):
So out of sight, out of mind twenty five to
thirty minutes at least once a day, but try and
do that twice a day. Use the protected space role
for sleep. No phones in the bedroom because that's.

Speaker 1 (01:23:34):
A hard one to break.

Speaker 5 (01:23:35):
It's hard.

Speaker 1 (01:23:36):
That's hard.

Speaker 5 (01:23:37):
It is very hard.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
I also, my phone is my alarm clock. Yeah, so
I need to go back to the old fashioned alarm clock.
Yeah or something.

Speaker 4 (01:23:45):
I mean, you know, get into bed early where you
wake up hopefully on you know, morning sun.

Speaker 2 (01:23:51):
I don't know about her.

Speaker 6 (01:23:55):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:23:56):
The third is replaced fast stimulation with slow stimuls This
means reading, drawing legos. So instead of the scrolling, scrolling,
scrolling moving YouTube by it blah blah blah. Have them
do puzzles, help with cooking, put me get get get
into an instrument.

Speaker 2 (01:24:14):
We did.

Speaker 1 (01:24:14):
We did a puzzle the other day. It was a
five hundred piece puzzle. Somebody bought it for it was
like my wife and kids, that was the puzzle, right,
you can. It's pretty cool. Like you take any picture
you want, boom them make it into a five hundred
or a thousand or whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:24:28):
That's puzzle.

Speaker 1 (01:24:29):
So yeah, it was cool.

Speaker 5 (01:24:30):
They start to put it to you.

Speaker 1 (01:24:31):
It was you know, did it over the course of
a bunch of days, and you know it's maddening. You
talking about boring. Yeah exactly, yeah, yeah, maddening and boring.

Speaker 5 (01:24:40):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:24:40):
Number four is set social media sprints instead of endless scrolling.
So if if if your kids want to be on
TikTok uh twenty minutes after they've done their homework and
then you take the phone away for twenty five minutes.
But that's where you see kids on like social media
screaming for their iPhones like we're addicted. They're addicted to

(01:25:01):
and they're not. They don't even have all the emotional
intelligence that we do as adults. Kids just say I
want my phone back like this I want yeah. And
then the last one, which is we talked about this,
get off yours as a parent, model the behavior in
a sneaky way. Put your phone away and see dad

(01:25:22):
doesn't have his phone you put yours away, and let's
go throw the football, right right, Let's go throw the
football for thirty forty minutes and then we'll come back
and and if we want to, maybe we.

Speaker 5 (01:25:34):
Won't even want to get back on that.

Speaker 1 (01:25:36):
I feel like that that's the biggest one, is if
because then the kids, what are you talking about? Yeah,
you're doing the same thing. Yeah, so yeah, it's tough.

Speaker 4 (01:25:45):
And and and parents are I mean, teachers are saying, listen,
we see your kids in school and they're not They're
not able to pay attention right now. They're not able
to sit without their cell phones even if they want to.

Speaker 3 (01:25:59):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
So this was a Cliff Kingsbury when he was the
head coach of the Cardinals. This is a couple of
years back, uh, and he was kind of like this younger,
kind of new age guy. And he was talking about
how he gives like like NFL players like would get
like a ten minute like phone break, Like he wouldn't
have a he wouldn't go like like an hour long meeting.

(01:26:21):
You go for forty minutes like okay, all right, ever
get your phones out, because he said, because if you don't,
then everybody the whole time after a while, I was like, okay,
like it starts panicking, like you know what I mean.
It's almost like, in a way, maybe not good because
you're you're giving them that giving in to it and
giving them that drug. But he's saying, why fight it.
I can't fight it. It's not my job to fight it.
So let him do that and then they can get refocused.

Speaker 4 (01:26:43):
Well, I don't think that that's a bad idea, because
you know, people have families, they friends, they want to
check in and that kind of stuff. So but the
more you can create some discipline for yourself, Like I'm
going to really start doing this, and I've been saying
that for a while. I am absolutely addicted to my
phone and I really want to start taking breaks because

(01:27:06):
being creative is really amazing.

Speaker 14 (01:27:09):
It is.

Speaker 4 (01:27:09):
It is so fun to sit down and write a
song on the guitar or or or paint a picture
or you know, look at look at photography and how
how you guys made that puzzle and then doing the
puzzle and stuff like that. You don't forget things like that.
You can spend hours on your phone scrolling and you
forget everything that you've seen.

Speaker 5 (01:27:29):
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:27:30):
Yeah, we're asking what I looked at last night, and
I probably couldn't. I couldn't tell you, by the way.
That's the difference. People say, oh, well, it's the same
as when you were a kid. You know, your kids
watch too much TV. It's not though, because a singular program,
there's gonna be times when it's not the just the
height of excitement and there is some boredom and you

(01:27:52):
and you learn I got to sit through this.

Speaker 5 (01:27:54):
We're on this.

Speaker 1 (01:27:55):
If you don't like it, instantaneously gone gone, gone, gone, okay,
like this will watches from it? Okay, not entertaining, gone boom.

Speaker 5 (01:28:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:28:03):
Did you see that photographer took pictures of everybody that
was holding their cell phone, but took the phone away,
and how weird it was. They're in this picture and
you look like, okay, everybody's holding their cell phones and
they're just staring at it. Then you take the cell
phone away and everybody looks crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:28:20):
I bet I'll tell you what where I see it
where I'm like, oh my god, this is so terrible.
Is you know every week I'm on a college campus,
so you're, you know, before the game, you're seeing people
come in and the college students. I mean it, every
single one of them have the phone in their hand,
every one of them and between bouts of looking down

(01:28:40):
at it or even if they're talking with their friend,
but it's in their hand, like it's ready to go.
It's right there. I remember being at a restaurant and
seeing you know, this was last year before the National
Championship game, you know, Notre Dame in Georgia. In this restaurant,
people come from out of town. They're getting ready to
you know, hang out and do the game, and like
everybody every table, it was like, God, is that me?

Speaker 3 (01:29:02):
Do I do that?

Speaker 5 (01:29:03):
The answers, yes, I do.

Speaker 4 (01:29:05):
It's so embarrassing to even say, like, oh my gosh,
this is this is not good in social media again,
one of the reasons why we are on our phone
so much is social media has a big part. TikTok videos, YouTube, obviously,
you know, Instagram and Twitter and all you know, x
or whatever. And I liked Jennifer I forget her last name,

(01:29:27):
Ben Affleck's ex wife. They have three kids together, and
she she said to her kids that are you know pretty,
you know eleven or they're in their teens, and she said,
show me the advantage of being on social media. Just
show me any paper, any science, anything that says it
is good for you to be on social media, and

(01:29:49):
I will let you have a social media account and
they can do it. Can't find because all everything that
she said she read was negative about being on social media.

Speaker 1 (01:30:00):
Would say, I mean, I feel like I can find
some because there's some things on on Instagram that are
that I learn about, like, like, you know, it kind
of adopts to what you like, so I get all
kinds of football stuff and you know, football plays and
all this sort of you know stuff that so there's
no and you can connect with people you haven't seen

(01:30:20):
in a long time.

Speaker 5 (01:30:21):
You get to see family.

Speaker 1 (01:30:22):
Not bad, but it's not. But for kids it's different too.

Speaker 4 (01:30:25):
It is.

Speaker 5 (01:30:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:30:27):
Yeah, all right, we're a little late here. Let's go
