WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.640
We don't fight. We ground,
you know, ever, occasionally we do

2
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:06.719
that, but we don't bite.
We never bite. It's the average American

3
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:10.359
in for the great American on this
day after Christmas. I hope whatever you

4
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:13.640
did yesterday you had a great time. I hope you were around people that

5
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:18.000
you love. I hope I hope
you didn't wake up today one of those

6
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:22.280
banging headaches, you know what I'm
talking about. Didn't need to do that.

7
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:26.239
You got a fresh chance to do
that next week, didn't need to

8
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:30.320
do that last night. Whatever state
of mind you're in, welcome, Glad

9
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:33.079
to have you with us. We're
going to talk a lot today about you,

10
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.719
about your life, about how things
are going for you, and why

11
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:41.200
it's maybe more complicated than it needs
to be, because the last thing anybody

12
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.840
needs in their lives anymore is complications. They're all over the place complications.

13
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:50.759
Worries about your children, worries about
their education and their safety, worries about

14
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:57.079
your money being able to cover your
expenses, worries about your safety, worries

15
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:02.240
about why things cost more for you
than they should. And it's not inflation,

16
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.120
it really isn't. A lot of
it has to do with crime,

17
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:11.120
crime, pilfering stealing, believe it
or not, the number is when they

18
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:15.480
come out and they will be out
here shortly, they will show that there

19
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:22.079
has been an inordinate amount of pilfering
from stores and from online shopping in this

20
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.680
holiday season. I know it's crazy. You want to play by the rules.

21
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:27.840
I want to play by the rules. But that doesn't mean that everybody

22
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:33.359
plays in the same playbook or in
the same sandbox. It just means it's

23
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.879
going on. And I found this
disturbing about a particular generation. Look,

24
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:42.879
everybody thinks the generation that comes after
them and maybe the generation that comes after

25
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.719
them, that they don't know what
they're doing, that they're just incompetent or

26
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.879
incoherent, or they don't play by
the rules or whatever. But statistics in

27
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:57.040
some cases do not lie. They
just do not lie. There is a

28
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.439
I always thought of it as kind
of a you go on here, you

29
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:06.560
go onto lending tree, and you
go on a lending tree and you shop

30
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.240
for mortgages, see what interest rates
are. But apparently it also it also

31
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:17.240
does its own research on other things. And according to lending Tree, thirty

32
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:23.400
one percent of gen Z consumers thirty
one percent, that's almost a third of

33
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:30.599
gen zers have stolen items from self
checkout kiosks, compared to fifteen percent of

34
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:38.039
consumers of any age thirty one percent. And it goes on. Forty four

35
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:44.439
percent of gen zers plan to continue
stealing from self checkout kiosks. Thirty seven

36
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:46.879
said they do it to save money
on groceries health goods, according to this

37
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:54.159
survey. And then there's this first
party delivery fraud. That would be things

38
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.479
that you order from Amazon or maybe
it's being delivered by FedEx or ups it

39
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:05.879
gets deliver to your door. But
one third of Americans commit the crime of

40
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:14.000
first party delivery fraud and that in
and of itself is driving inflation up.

41
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:20.080
And guess what age group leads the
way, gen zers not making it up.

42
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:25.680
There is another research group called so
Cure so Cure gen Zers. They're

43
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.800
consumers gen Zers just like you,
and may are most likely to commit first

44
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:36.360
party delivery fraud fifty two percent.
I'm saying they'd commit the crime if there

45
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.759
would be no negative consequences. That
would be what claiming you didn't receive a

46
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:47.319
package when you did it now costs
the US merchants and financial institutions over one

47
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:55.039
hundred billion with a b dollars a
year, one hundred billion dollars a year.

48
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:02.680
Again not putting a finger at one
particular generation, but apparently it's not

49
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.120
quite as black and white for this
group as it was maybe for you,

50
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:12.039
for me, and maybe millennials and
anyone else. What's going on here?

51
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.079
And have we failed this generation that
now seems to be failing us? Standing

52
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.319
by the way, and as a
good guest of this program, I've had

53
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:23.480
doctor Alex del Carmen on many many
times. He's a criminologist. He heads

54
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.759
up the School of Criminology and Criminal
Justice at turl And State University, and

55
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.279
I like him because he speaks the
truth. He speaks the truth. I

56
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.120
think he speaks the truth. I'll
let you be the judge as to whether

57
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.519
or not I'm right. And doctor
del carbon, how are you on this

58
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:41.680
day after Christmas? I'm doing well. Thanks for having me again. I'm

59
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:46.079
glad you're here. So this is
disturbing on a number of levels. It

60
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:51.199
almost seems like it's just a cavalier
attitude that this certain generation gen Z has.

61
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:56.600
And the more I hear about gen
Z, the more I'm less inclined

62
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.199
to like gen Z. I hate
to be so over our with that opinion.

63
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.839
But this is just another example of
I think some disturbing trends with this

64
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:10.439
generation. What about you, Well, you know, what I see here

65
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:14.399
is that the younger generation, considering
the fact that they are more used to

66
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.360
technology that they are generation is they're
using it to their advantage and in some

67
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:23.560
cases, sadly, they're using it
to criminalize, you know, their daily

68
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.720
activities, right as we see in
this case. And so I'm not at

69
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.199
all convinced that it's a generational issue
as much as it is just a youth

70
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.439
problem that I think it will continue
to go on for years to come,

71
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:36.720
even in future generation. Thirty one
percent though, of this survey done by

72
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.959
lending Tree, thirty one percent of
gen Z I mean, that's almost a

73
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:46.120
third have stolen idle items from self
kios self checkout kiosks. The rest of

74
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:50.560
the generations are down around fifteen percent. Now, you know, I think

75
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:56.439
there could be cases made for I
need this, I have to have it,

76
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.519
I can't afford it. It might
be a pharmaceutical, it might be

77
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.319
a loaf of bread or whatnot.
But you know, again, gen Z

78
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.800
is not that far away from Mom
and dad. I'm just you know that.

79
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.360
That's why I'm a little concerned about
it. Yeah, I think you're

80
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:13.560
right. And I think the other
part of this too as well, is

81
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.160
that, you know, this is
the generation that has immediate gratification, right,

82
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.680
and so oftentimes what they want is
they want it now. There is

83
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:24.360
no patience behind it, there is
no discipline to earn it, and so

84
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.680
you know, what better way to
them to go to the store and then

85
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.199
simply when no one's looking, you
know, try to get a product in

86
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.360
your bag without paying for it.
So that's what we're seeing across the nation,

87
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.399
and I think that, sadly,
those cribs are going to continue to

88
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.639
climb. You know, many industries, as you know, they've gone that

89
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.920
route in order to in many ways
save dollars for having to pay a human

90
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.480
being from checking out the customer.
But the reality is, in the end

91
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.000
of the day, they're finding out
that it's going to be more costly to

92
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.319
them by having a machine with with
with a you know, a group of

93
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.040
people that are going to come in
and steal from them on a daily basis.

94
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.959
Yeah, the people that wind up
paying for it, invariably are you

95
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.040
and me and everybody else that does
it the right way because most of these

96
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:08.639
most of these stores, the bigger
grocery store cr change like Kroger or Target

97
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.920
or a big box store, you
pick it. They're not going to let

98
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.600
anything affect their bottom line. They
in some cases have to answer to shareholders

99
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.399
as well. They've got to show
a p and L statement that says,

100
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.240
hey, we made a profit.
So, you know, the longer this

101
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.720
goes on, the more people that
just play it the right way are going

102
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.040
to have to pay for it,
There's no question. And then on top

103
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:31.759
of that, you've got to remember
that the insurance rates are going to go

104
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.399
up for many of these stores,
which translates to you and I paying a

105
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:40.319
higher you know, dollar figure for
whatever it is that we're buying from them.

106
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.480
So ultimately, the good guys get
to pay the price for the bad

107
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.279
guys. And sadly, as technology
improves, that technology gets better and many

108
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:51.040
of these companies are going to start
using it to safe cost is going to

109
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:54.920
be, you know, enduring in
the end that the rest of us are

110
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.120
going to have to pay for the
difference. Well, I'm looking at this,

111
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:01.600
you know, pretending to scan an
item, weighing items with the wrong

112
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.959
code, in other words, maybe
it's more expensive to buy, you know,

113
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.759
three oranges than it is to buy
three bananas, so i'll take the

114
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.879
I'll take the banana price there instead
of paying for the oranges. You know,

115
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.199
a lot of this seems to have
a little bit of thought that goes

116
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.000
into it. That's the other thing
that's frightening. It's not just random.

117
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:22.240
Yeah. And then if what you're
scanning and the price that you're scanning is

118
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.199
actually in a sticker that is removable, all they have to do is remove

119
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.920
that sticker, put it in the
other product that it's going to be more

120
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.919
expensive, and then simply scan it
and pay for you know, lesser price.

121
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:35.600
So, in other words, it's
not an outright stapt as you and

122
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.559
I would conceive it to be.
But they're simply changing numbers and making their

123
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.480
items be a lot less expensive,
which is another type of step. Right.

124
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:48.240
So it's really you know, it's
really interesting as to how this is

125
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.080
becoming a trend now. But that
part is is that I guarantee you that

126
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.320
this is already on social media.
People are learning how to do it all

127
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.679
across the United States, and they're
getting better at it. Oh, it's

128
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.720
it's all over so media, all
you have to do is look at some

129
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.679
of the video of these gangs that
go into these stores, and for example,

130
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.320
in the case of California, you
steal less than nine hundred and fifty

131
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.159
dollars worth of merchandise, you're not
going to get arrested, which means you're

132
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.360
not going to get prosecuted, which
means you're not going to have to pay

133
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.440
anything for it. And I think
that's what's going on here. I think

134
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.200
in a lot of these big box
stores, this kind of hocus pocus that

135
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.720
goes on with with five finger discounting
and all that. They know that the

136
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:31.440
police aren't going to prosecute, aren't
going to arrest them, which means the

137
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.320
prosecutors aren't going to prosecute, which
means the judges aren't going to judge.

138
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.720
And it's just it's a self fulfilling
prophecy after a while, is it not?

139
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.879
Yeah? Absolutely, And then what's
going to happen is so imagine being,

140
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.840
you know, sixteen seventeen years of
age and being told by the way

141
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.279
you can go through this crime.
The technology is there, you almost can

142
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.440
do it anonymously. And on top
of that, if they do catch you.

143
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.039
They're not going to do anything to
you. They're going to be able

144
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.440
to walk away and go about your
day the way you were before. So,

145
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.840
in other words, is a free
enterprise for them they have nothing to

146
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.720
move. Yeah, I'm just thinking. You know somebody that goes into law

147
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.159
enforcement that really wants to do it, or maybe it's a family thing.

148
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.799
Dad was a police officer, he
or she wants to be a police officer.

149
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:16.960
You get into it for all the
right reasons, and then you see

150
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.679
all this occurring and like, well, wait a minute, I can't enforce

151
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.279
this. I mean, it's so
difficult being a cop in this day and

152
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.879
age. Everybody is looking at you
to do the wrong thing, first of

153
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.440
all, so they can catch you, and second of all, when someone

154
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.679
else does the wrong thing in this
case, certainly you can't enforce the law.

155
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.240
It's just to me, it's I
don't know what. I don't know

156
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.320
what it would do for me to
go into law enforcement. I can't imagine

157
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.440
anyone wanting to go in under those
circumstances, can you. No. And

158
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.840
not only that, we're seeing this
across the nation right now, that so

159
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.759
many individuals that want to pursue the
law enforcement career are doing so at the

160
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.519
federal level versus the local level for
the very reason that you just mentioned,

161
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.679
which is they know that they're going
to go out there and resk their lives,

162
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.320
and not only will they be subject
to losing it all in case of

163
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.559
a lawsuit or somebody firing them,
but then on top of that, they

164
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.240
may actually lose their lives for what
For a prosecutor that's going to simply look

165
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.120
the other way and say, you
know what, I'm not going to prosecute

166
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.919
this crimes because I'm waiting for the
big ones to show up. Yeah,

167
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.720
well, hey, look what's going
on in New York City right now.

168
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.320
I mean, they've made themselves a
sanctuary city and they have to pay for

169
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:31.480
all of the illegal immigrants that have
been bussed or sent to their city.

170
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:33.279
And what are they cutting back on? First thing they're cutting back on as

171
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.440
police. Well, if you talk
about self fulfilling prophecies, you've got a

172
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.720
crime problem in that city and you're
cutting back on cops. What do you

173
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:43.799
think is going to happen? Crime
is going to say, well, wait

174
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.279
a minute, you don't have enough
cops. We're not going to commit any

175
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.879
crime anymore of course not. It's
just going to fester even more. That's

176
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.279
exactly right. And you know,
I think is a perfect storm over there,

177
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.000
and I'm afraid to see what's going
to happen in New York in three

178
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.720
to four years from now. It's
bad right now, but it's going to

179
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.600
get a in the future. And
I think other cities sadly are going to

180
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.279
follow suit and do the exact same
thing because they're not thinking. And it's

181
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.960
not going to happen until people start, you know, basically demanding from their

182
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:15.360
local politicians to go out there and
send troops down the way in order to

183
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.440
be able to you know, to
rescue many people and to be able to

184
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.720
protect them. And that's going to
be a little too late at the time

185
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.200
that the rest of the country is
going to pay for it. You're absolutely

186
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.159
right, and to pull it back
from where it's going is going to be

187
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:30.159
difficult. I'll tell you what will
change it. New York is a tourist

188
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.399
destination. San Francisco, for example, is a tourist destination. Maybe to

189
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:39.200
a lesser extent, Chicago, and
all of these cities have problems with crime

190
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.039
and homelessness, and so when people
start going to stop going to New York,

191
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:50.360
Chicago or San Francisco from places like
Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Dallas, Oklahoma

192
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:52.879
City. Pick a town that's not
one of those towns, and those dollar

193
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.440
figures start to get down lower,
lower and lower, and people start moving

194
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.600
away from those cities more more and
more, and the tax space starts rooting

195
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.519
more and more and more. Maybe
at that point then it will be addressed.

196
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.639
But I think it's all about dollars, doctor, is it not.

197
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.720
Every solution is rooted in dollars.
How much is it going to cost me?

198
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.399
It's going to cost me a hell
of a lot of money if they

199
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.399
don't stop it now, that's right, And it's going to actually cost not

200
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.360
only a lot of money right now, but it's going to cost a lot

201
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.440
more in the future as well,
because this is going the problem is only

202
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.039
going to continue to get worse and
worse. And you know, most people

203
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.919
are just looking the other way and
they're not doing a themn thing about it.

204
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.919
So, you know, I'm concerned
for our country. I'm concerned for

205
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.840
the future, and I'm concerned for
the fact that so many people are going

206
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.279
to suffer as a result of the
irresponsible people out there. You know.

207
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:45.159
That's why I raised the issue about
gen Z. Isn't it something about that

208
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.480
that demographic? But honestly, I
mean, at all points, you know,

209
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:54.480
do we have a morality problem in
this country? And I think more

210
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.000
and more if you look at what's
going on and how cavalier people are with

211
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.960
the law, I'm not sure they
don't. As a general rule, I'm

212
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:07.000
not sure we don't have a deteriorating
morality problem in this country. What about

213
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.559
you? Well, the same And
I think that every day we kind of

214
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.600
put it further and further and people
become, you know, further away from

215
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.720
what the norm should be and what
the right thing to do should be.

216
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.559
You know. They talk about character
being a definition of doing the right thing

217
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.320
when no one's looking, you know, And I think that that definition now

218
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.919
is fading away very easily. Everything
is relative, everything is well, it

219
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.480
depends on everything has a caveat.
There's no longer a right or wrong.

220
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.559
There's no longer a middle, you
know, middle of the way of doing

221
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.879
things. And so now everyone seems
to have their own opinion, and their

222
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.440
own opinion is the fact that their
fact is their ideology, and their ideology

223
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:45.200
is their way of life, so
you know, doing the right thing now

224
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:50.279
becomes sort of a an antiquated,
you know, suggestive remark as opposed to

225
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:52.679
be in a real one. So
it's very concerning. I think the world

226
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:54.360
is. That's why I think the
world is in many ways, it's just

227
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.279
contradictory. And we're having the wars
that we're seeing across the globe, and

228
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:03.159
not only in terms of physical wars, but we're seeing some of it online

229
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:07.480
and then people getting angry and more
and more violent surging. So we criminologists

230
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.879
clearly are not going to be unemployed
anytime soon. No, you will not,

231
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:15.440
and you're welcome on my show anytime
you'd like to show up. Doctor

232
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.080
Alex Dell Carmen, you are a
voice that needs to be heard. Don't

233
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.840
ever lose it, and thank you
for your time. We appreciate it.

234
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.840
Thanks for having me. No,
you bet, you bet. And you

235
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:28.600
know it's not just the pilfering,
right, I mean, it's not just

236
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.799
walking out with something that you didn't
pay for. I mean that's bad in

237
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.600
and of itself, but I mean
claiming you didn't get some I mean you're

238
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.759
you're stealing on one hand, and
then you're lying on the other. Now,

239
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:41.360
I never got that. No,
send me another one. I never

240
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:46.480
got it. A third of gen
z or steal from self checkout aisles.

241
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.080
One third of Americans commit the crime
of first party delivery fraud. I never

242
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:58.919
got it, Send me another one. And they wonder why, they wonder

243
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:03.159
why. It's twelve twenty four.
The average American in for the Great American

244
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.399
Glad you're with us. Hope you
had a safe, sound, and happy

245
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.639
holiday weekend as you and I together
plow into the new year, which is

246
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:17.840
now within it's in reaching distance rate, reach out the window. Oh don't

247
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:22.519
do that. Seven hundred w WELW
on the show. Americans are living paycheck

248
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.320
to paycheck. We know that.
Why is it that way? And if

249
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:32.639
indeed the recession that everybody was predicting
is not going to happen, and again,

250
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:34.080
the market last check was up today. We'll find out here in a

251
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.919
couple of minutes with our twelve thirty
newscast. But if the recession is not

252
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.799
going to happen, then why did
so many people in the United States feel

253
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.000
bad about the way the economy is
going. All you have to do is

254
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:51.080
look at any polling from any polling
company, whether it be conservative or liberal.

255
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.879
Everybody is down on the economy.
Well, why what's going on here?

256
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:57.240
Could be an answer coming up at
one o six and then at two

257
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:03.840
o six. Is it a good
idea to break up with your significant others,

258
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.799
spouse or otherwise at this time of
the year, or should you write

259
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:12.039
it out through the holidays. We're
gonna play coopid Cupid're gonna play coopid.

260
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:17.319
We're gonna play Cupid and see what's
on the mind of those who are young

261
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:22.160
in love and maybe thinking about tossing
it all away. Right now, we're

262
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:33.000
going to embrace the news on news
radio seven hundred WYLW sort of a stop

263
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:38.039
and listening to this song. It
sounds like Eminence put but it's not.

264
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:44.079
That's a ripoff of Evermin the Great
No, No, the Great Hue,

265
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:47.640
the song by the Who. Yeah. I mean it sounded good, but

266
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:49.920
I think they were trying to make
something happen there that doesn't happen in there.

267
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:53.240
Welcome back, great to have you
with us. Uh, why do

268
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:56.279
we all feel like we're living in
a recession? If we're not, We'll

269
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.880
get to that before we're done today. Also, is this it's the worst

270
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:07.759
time to break up with somebody in
a personal relationship. All of that straight

271
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:14.279
ahead here on seven hundred w welw
and we will get into that and more.

272
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.039
I watched a lot of football,
maybe you did, over the course

273
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:21.440
of the last weekend. A couple
of thoughts from that. First of all,

274
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:25.519
the Steelers have the Bengals number.
It's a bad matchup. But there

275
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:29.279
was no way on God's Green Earth, even without Joe Burrow, that they

276
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:34.880
should have gone into Pittsburgh and lost
to a team with that kind of hobbled

277
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:42.839
defense. They had a cornerback playing
safety, they had they had a safety

278
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:47.319
that was suspended, and they couldn't
use the guy. Their best safety was

279
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:49.640
out. They were down to like
a fourth string safety on the other side.

280
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:52.920
He can't. You can't lose to
teams like that, You really can't.

281
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:56.119
And you know, of course,
Browning had a horrible game, There's

282
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:00.960
no question about it. He's better
than what he played there. Is he

283
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.119
as good as what we saw in
a couple of games preceding that. No,

284
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.039
was he as bad as what we
saw last last Saturday. No,

285
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:12.200
he's somewhere in the middle. He's
a backup quarterback. This is the land

286
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:18.079
of the backup quarterbacks in the land
of the backup quarterbacks. He's probably even

287
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.440
with what happened Saturday, the best
that it should not have happened. Should

288
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.559
not have happened. And I thought
there were some telling things that were said

289
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:33.200
in the locker room after the game
on Saturday. This was kind of a

290
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.440
scrum. Scrum is like a media
term where you got a bunch of cameras

291
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.519
and microphones and everybody's sticking a microphone
in, and the guys with the from

292
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.880
print media there, they've got little
recorders and they're writing down on their pads

293
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:49.680
what players are saying. But anyway, this was after the game, and

294
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:53.880
Lapham's in the locker room after the
game and he comes upon Sam Hubbard,

295
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:59.599
and Hubbard said this, and I
said, WHOA, wow, this is

296
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:04.480
pretty interesting. Just listen to what
Hubbard said about the fact that his team

297
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:11.200
hasn't won a game all year inside
the AFC North, and of all the

298
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:17.559
teams that are still trying to get
to the playoffs, the Bengals have the

299
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:23.359
worst record of every team inside the
American Football Conference. And so it got

300
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:32.960
into a conversation about physicality, which
is a made up football term for playing

301
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:37.079
physical football, not trying to finesse
the other team, not trying to out

302
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.359
with the other team, but just
getting in there and beating the other guy

303
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:48.519
with better physical strength. Here's what
Hubbard said, this was I thought this

304
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.079
was enlightening. The audio. I
don't know how close Slapy was with the

305
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:55.319
microphone. It's a little low,
but I think you'll be able to hear

306
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:59.799
it when the turnover margin number one, it can stop the run, run

307
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:03.880
the and how physical the other team. And you know, obviously we should

308
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.240
have gotten more takeaways on defense today
and we weren't able to do that.

309
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:11.279
And you know it's hard to overcome
that. You know, you're not going

310
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:12.640
to compare years over years, but
you know, do you feel like you

311
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.599
guys were able to be more physical
in the division the last couple of years

312
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.000
compared to this year where it's been
the way it's been all the time.

313
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:22.759
Yeah, I mean you don't win
those games, you don't lose those games

314
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.839
if you weren't more physical. So
obviously there's something needs to be corrected.

315
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.599
But uh, you know, being
the winner for the last two years,

316
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.720
obviously we had a target on the
back, like I said, and we

317
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.559
got a regroup and come back even
harder to regain that top spot. Now

318
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.279
the target on our back, regroup
at the top. I mean that was

319
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:44.440
all just kind of like a wrap
up to what the meat was there,

320
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:48.799
and that was Yeah. I mean
the last couple of years they kind of

321
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:53.559
dominated. Now they didn't this year. Why same players? Yeah, I

322
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:56.799
mean, by and large they had
this not at safety, not the same

323
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:02.599
players at safety. Along the front
line, you know, they had the

324
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:06.599
front the same players linebacker, they
had the same players. So but that

325
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:10.279
was a pretty telling comment. If
you play in the AFC North and you

326
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:15.559
know what you're going to face in
Baltimore, in Pittsburgh and Cleveland, you

327
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.680
can't be with two games ago in
the season saying yeah, we weren't quite

328
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:22.200
as physical as we needed to be. I thought that was a very telling

329
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.160
comment, and there was a theme
that developed. I think that I'm not

330
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:30.240
sure who the question came from in
the middle of that, but it was

331
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.759
a good question and it was a
very telling answer. So here we are

332
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:40.559
with two games to go, right, I'm watching Buffalo. Buffalo had to

333
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:45.119
scramble, but at won Buffalo's going
to get in. They're nine and six.

334
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.240
New England doesn't look like the pushover
it did. A couple of weeks

335
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.079
ago. They played pretty stoutly in
Denver, hung out and won that game.

336
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:56.559
That's who Buffalo gets next in Upstate
New York. And then they finished

337
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.519
the year at Miami. Miami looked
pretty damn good. Didn't Miami look good?

338
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:04.920
It look pretty damn good the other
night. So Buffalo is going to

339
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:08.519
get at least one win, and
I think the worst Buffalo finishes is ten

340
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:15.160
and seven, maybe eleven and six, but we'll see. With Miami.

341
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:22.519
Cleveland's going to get in Cleveland will
get in Cleveland right now is ten and

342
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:29.400
five. There's seven and three inside
the conference, six and three inside seven

343
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:37.160
and three inside the conference. They're
at Houston. They wanted Houston. They

344
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:42.480
got the Jets in Cleveland on a
short week Thursday night. Jets overachieved this

345
00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:48.640
weekend, played well, but it
was obvious that things started to fall well

346
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:55.000
for them going to Cleveland playing against
that defense. I think I think Cleveland

347
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:57.759
wins that game. Cleveland will get
to eleven wins this week. Then,

348
00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:00.279
of course the Browns are down here
to finish out the season. A week

349
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:07.079
from this coming Sunday, Indy is
eight and seven. Did not think Atlanta

350
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:11.839
was going to beat them, but
they did. Now they get Vegas on

351
00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:18.559
New Year's Eve this Sunday. Vegas
looked pretty darn good at Kansas City,

352
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:26.119
pretty darn good Kansas City. They
played poorly again and Vegas won that game.

353
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:32.000
So now they're at Indy New Year's
Eve, and then they finish up

354
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:34.400
the season with a home game against
Houston. I think Indy's got a pretty

355
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:38.079
good pathway here to get the ten
wins. Houston, on the other hand,

356
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:48.000
they're at eight and seven and they
lost obviously, Cleveland beat them in

357
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.799
Houston last weekend, Tennessee this weekend
on New Year's Eve, and then they

358
00:24:52.839 --> 00:25:00.599
finish up with that showdown at Indianapolis. I think that that final wildcard because

359
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:08.960
Denver looked horrible. Denver is just
terrible. Denver's not going anywhere. Pittsburgh

360
00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:14.680
has been living on a prayer.
They're four and one inside their division.

361
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.359
They look pretty darned good against the
Bengals, six and five in the conference.

362
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:22.359
They got to go to Seattle,
that's not easy, and then finish

363
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.319
up at Baltimore when there could be
could be a chance for a number one

364
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:32.359
overall seed on the line unless Baltimore
wraps it up. But I don't think

365
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:37.200
Pittsburgh's going anywhere. So if you're
a Bengals fan, you know you're zero

366
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:38.880
and five in the division, you're
three and seven in the conference. You

367
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:44.480
ain't winning any tie breakers unless you
get into some head to head matchup with

368
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:49.200
Indianapolis for that last playoff spot.
I don't think Buffalo will have to worry

369
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.880
about a head to head with the
Bengals. I think Buffalo is going to

370
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:57.279
I think Buffalo gets to ten and
maybe eleven with Miami because I think Cleveland's

371
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:00.640
in and I think Buffalo is in. And now you're down to Indianapolis,

372
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:07.480
Houston and the Bengals, and you
don't want to be on a head to

373
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:10.920
head with Houston because you lose the
head to head, right because Houston beat

374
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:15.400
them in the regular season. The
permutations for all of this obviously are fluid

375
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:23.759
because who knows exactly how you you
know who's going to be in a position.

376
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:32.559
But there's a there is no question
about it that this is going right

377
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:33.960
the way the NFL wants. I
mean, man, this thing is you

378
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:38.279
couldn't script any better if you were
Roger Goodell, the new York Times for

379
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:45.119
what it's worth, says the Bengals
playoff chances are at eighteen percent right now,

380
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:51.519
eighteen percent. They have the Browns
at ninety nine percent, They have

381
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:56.160
the Bills at eighty nine percent,
and in the AFC South they have the

382
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:02.160
Colts in fifty five percent and the
Texans at thirty three. After that,

383
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:07.200
the next best team would be or
best chances according to the whatever the New

384
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.400
York Times is using whatever computer they're
doing to predict things, the next best

385
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:15.599
chance in the AFC would be the
Bengals at eighteen percent. So that's where

386
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:22.480
it is. As I said,
the Chiefs look horrible yesterday. And now

387
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:30.440
there are some Kansas City fans or
beginning to call Taylor Swift Yoko Swift.

388
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:37.279
Oh kids, let me explain Travis
Kelsey and Taylor Swift right there an item

389
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:44.039
You are probably if you are under
the age of if you're under the age

390
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:48.960
of sixty, for sure, you
probably aren't familiar with Yoko Ono. You

391
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:56.119
maybe might have heard it from mom
and dad. But Yoko Ono is widely

392
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:02.640
regarded as the person who broke up
the Beatles when she became involved with John

393
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:07.240
Lennon, and so after the Chiefs
lost to the Raiders twenty to fourteen on

394
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.359
Christmas Day, a loss that guarantees
Kansas City will not get the number one

395
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.559
seed in the AFC playoff race.
By the way, the reality of all

396
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:22.319
of that began to sync in with
Kansas City Chiefs fans. Sadness could be

397
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:30.960
seen in that suite as Travis Kelcey's
new girlfriend was comforting a visibly distressed Brittany

398
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:38.119
Mahomes. Chiefs are now three and
five since Kelsey and Swift began their relationship.

399
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:45.319
Kelsey in that time has called only
one touchdown pass and so yesterday on

400
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:56.680
Twitter, a lot of Chiefs fans
were comparing Taylor Swift the Yoko owner.

401
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:02.720
Oh no, like Taylor Swift made
break it Up, Kansas City's version of

402
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:06.400
the Beatles. We'll see. I
think the Bengals are what an eight point

403
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:08.920
underdog out there this week? You
know you've got to see some pictures.

404
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:14.720
You all listen. It just won't
be It may be a regional broadcast,

405
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:18.359
but she'll be there. And the
quickest way to put an end at all

406
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:22.839
that, I guess is for Travis
Kelcey. He catch about three or four

407
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.799
touchdown passes which of course, we
will do everything right in our power to

408
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:34.079
prevent Yoko's swift though twelve to fifty
News Radio seven hundred w WELW. The

409
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:37.200
throw to Kelsey's being taken out of
every play. You can see it.

410
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.720
And he doesn't have the wide receivers
that can get open like he has in

411
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:44.720
the years pass I mean, Tony
is he's a lost ball. He really

412
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:48.240
is. And something else. And
nobody's talking about with Kansas City. I

413
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.000
haven't heard anybody talk about this.
They changed offensive coordinators after last year.

414
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:56.240
Eric b Enemy, who was not
allowed to call plays in Kansas City,

415
00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:00.680
went to Washington, where he is
allowed to call place. Of course,

416
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:03.599
Washington is not doing anything this year
either. They have bad personnel. But

417
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:11.119
the Enemy on that Kansas City staff, the players liked him, they understood

418
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:15.039
him, he understood the the you
know, the limitations of what Kansas City

419
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:18.720
could do. He's not there.
Nobody's not a lot of people talking about

420
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.359
that, about how b Enemy left
and all of a sudden that offense got

421
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.920
really really average in a hurry.
But they still have Mahomes. They still

422
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:32.039
have Patrick Mahomes, whom we will
see this week. Are you going to

423
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:38.480
buy an electric vehicle. I found
this interesting. Apparently, these evs,

424
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:44.160
these electric vehicles, are not quite
what the American public wants. Now.

425
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:48.200
I know that may sound strange,
because US sales of these cars, they're

426
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:53.759
up up dramatically from twenty twenty two
to fifty percent. In fact, according

427
00:30:53.799 --> 00:31:00.119
to the Washington Post story I'm reading, there were eight hundred and six six

428
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:04.000
nine thousand fully electric vehicles sold in
the United States in the first ten months

429
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:10.480
of this year. That's a fifty
six percent increase over the same period in

430
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:15.759
twenty twenty two, eight hundred and
sixty nine thousand of these things were sold.

431
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:21.200
But place that up against the rest
of the market, the rest of

432
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:26.880
the automotive market, and it ain't
as good as it looks. There's a

433
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.519
couple of reasons why. First of
all, people are scared to death about

434
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:34.359
charging these things. I can tell
you that it's not anecdotal. You can

435
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:41.039
read anywhere charging stations. Then allegedly
they're going to be built to a more

436
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:47.240
greater extent than what they are right
now. If more greater is not piling

437
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:51.880
on verbally, but they're going to
be built in greater number than what they

438
00:31:51.880 --> 00:32:00.960
are now. Okay, but not
now they're not anyway. Company GM in

439
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:07.319
October said that they were scrapping plans
to build four hundred thousand evs by the

440
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:12.599
middle of next year and delay the
start of EV truck production. Again,

441
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:16.400
it's charging that's the problem now.
The average US price paid for a new

442
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:22.279
electronic vehicle in November, just last
month, was fifty two three hundred and

443
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:27.279
forty five dollars, eight and a
half percent higher than the average price for

444
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:32.480
the total market. So you have
cars that cost more, charging stations that

445
00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:42.400
aren't fully available, and you have
certain states like California where they have energy

446
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:46.559
issues anyway. I mean, you
know the guy that's in charge of that

447
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:52.400
state out there with the slick back
hair, you know he wants he wants

448
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:54.039
it to go totally green. Well, sure, fine, you're the guy

449
00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:59.799
that presides over a state that can't
get houses air conditioned in the summertime and

450
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:02.799
ain't get the lights on in July
and August. Sure, let's plug in

451
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:07.359
a lot of elect electric vehicles out
there. That'd be a great idea.

452
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.759
Okay, but let's assume for the
moment that all of this will be rectified,

453
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:16.000
that California and other states with grid
issues will get all of that fixed.

454
00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:20.119
Let's assume for the moment they're going
to build all these charging stations,

455
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:24.880
dealers don't want to sell them.
It wasn't that long ago. In fact,

456
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:30.599
it was three weeks ago. A
coalition of more than three thousand auto

457
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:36.200
dealers all around the country, representing
all fifty states, sign an open letter

458
00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:42.359
to President Biden telling him, tap
the brakes on this stuff. Tap the

459
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:45.920
brakes, and they're aiming at Biden's
tailpipe emissions. You keep the jokes to

460
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:55.359
yourself about that. They're talking about
the Biden administration's tailpipe emissions and the standards

461
00:33:55.480 --> 00:34:00.400
that were released earlier this year,
which are the most aggressive federal regulations ever

462
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:07.440
of its kind. And Biden,
of course wants everything to be green here

463
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:13.320
within the next fifteen years, and
he wants all cars that are produced between

464
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:16.440
now, I said between now in
the middle of next year, he wants

465
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:22.719
a certain percentage of the market to
be zero mission vehicles. He wants half

466
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:29.199
of all new vehicle sales by twenty
thirty to be zero emission vehicles, so

467
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:34.199
the American publics taste for it.
While up from year to year, it's

468
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:39.400
still nowhere near what people want from
standard autos that use gasoline, which,

469
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:44.800
by the way, if you notice, gasoline is coming down. And they're

470
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:47.840
also skittish about the fact that,
Okay, I'm going to buy this thing,

471
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:51.840
where am I going to charge it? I have a very good friend

472
00:34:52.880 --> 00:35:00.199
you may know people too, that
he bought one of Elon Musk teslas and

473
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:04.840
he went up to Indianapolis to see
a concert this summer and he had the

474
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:07.320
damn thing charge when he left Cincinnati, gets up, goes to the concerts,

475
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:13.639
coming back and he's like somewhere outside
of Batesville and he's got to get

476
00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:16.039
a charge, and he pulls over
wherever this charging station was, because they

477
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:20.440
tell you where the charging stations are
on the display. He had to sit

478
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:24.840
there in the dark in this I
guess it was like either a shopping mall

479
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:29.760
or someplace there was nothing else around, and he's got his car plugged in

480
00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:31.280
and charging him. I mean,
anybody could have come up and clubbed him,

481
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:37.480
but there's no appetite for them.
People are skittish about the batteries and

482
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:40.760
the ability to charge him. Biden
wants everything green by twenty thirty five,

483
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:45.639
and he wants, as I just
mentioned, these zero mission vehicles to be

484
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:51.360
a large chart truck in the market
by the middle of next year, and

485
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:53.840
it's not gonna happen. Cardialers don't
want to sell him and right now,

486
00:35:54.079 --> 00:36:00.719
even though it's a pretty impressive number
eighty six eight hundred sixty nine thousand electric

487
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:07.800
vehicles sold in the last year,
it's not it's not a fraction of the

488
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:10.880
market. It's one o'clock. It's
time for the news. News Radio seven

489
00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:15.880
hundred WLW. Heay News Radio seven
hundred WLW. The average American in for

490
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:21.920
the Great American on this day after
Christmas. Wherever you are, however,

491
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:27.280
you may be listening either through the
great medium of terrestrial radio or on the

492
00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:30.159
iHeartRadio app. We welcome you on
in. I hope you had a great

493
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:35.719
time yesterday, because it's all fun
and games until the bills come in.

494
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:44.000
And even though credit card debt tops
one trillion for all of us, even

495
00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:49.679
though the average credit card debt in
America is closed to eight thousand dollars,

496
00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:53.280
we have been spending, spending at
Christmas, and when the numbers come out

497
00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:58.960
as to how much we spent,
it will be undoubtedly up from where it

498
00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:05.320
was last year. But now there's
this Lending Club. It's one of those

499
00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:10.239
companies that does surveys about the economy. Lending Club says sixty two percent of

500
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:16.719
adults in the United States are living
paycheck to paycheck. It wasn't so long

501
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:22.400
ago that number was somewhere around fifty
two to fifty four percent. Now it's

502
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:27.400
at sixty two percent, and one
would think only going on. So we're

503
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:31.239
spending, we're not worried about how
much it's costing us to spend, and

504
00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:37.480
yet we're living paycheck to paycheck.
So what's going on here? Standing by

505
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:42.119
the way in is a certified public
accountant, but more important, he is

506
00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:45.079
a financial strategist, and most important, he's a good guest of this show

507
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:50.360
from Raymond James dot Com. Here
he is Bill Dendy. Bill, how

508
00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:52.920
are you on this glorious day?
Hey, Ken, It's great to be

509
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:57.559
with you. And I think that
that's kind of the imbalance a lot of

510
00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:02.280
economists are wrestling with, because last
year we had over half the economist predicting

511
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:06.960
a recession, a recession that did
not happen as a FED raised interest rates

512
00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:10.000
to slow down inflation. Yet I
think part of the reason is that the

513
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:15.480
consumer just kept on consuming, and
the consumer consumed in spite of things cost

514
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:17.960
you more money, and the consumer
consumed in spite of the cost of debt

515
00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:22.039
cost you more money. And that's
caused a lot of these folks who have

516
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:27.519
been great consumers. It's good for
the market, but it's caused put themselves

517
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:30.559
in a precarious situation where they kept
on spending even when they didn't have it

518
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:34.440
to spend. And that may be
the reason we see credit card debt at

519
00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:38.480
the astronomically high levels it is today. Right, so we're spending. The

520
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:44.599
economy is I supposed to be doing
well because of that. Retailers, online

521
00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:47.559
shopping, whatever it may be,
is doing well. But what we're really

522
00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:52.800
doing is kicking debt down the road, and bills always come due, and

523
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:57.239
it's kind of like the bubble.
They can get a little bigger. Oh

524
00:38:57.239 --> 00:39:00.360
my gosh, it's gotten even bigger. Hasn't popped. But the challenge is

525
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:07.079
with this, many of our listeners
out there who are they were already maybe

526
00:39:07.079 --> 00:39:10.199
having a hard time getting by,
but with it costs them more to get

527
00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:15.320
by, and with the cost of
debt for their variable interest rate credit cards

528
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:21.000
or variable mortgage interest rate mortgages.
They've turned to their last resources to maintain

529
00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:25.199
their last lifestyle, which is to
start borrowing. And when the lifestyle continues

530
00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:30.159
to have demands upon them, are
they're going to run out of the ability

531
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:34.440
to borrow, or we're going to
have that inevitable oops, we're going to

532
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:38.239
have a something that go wrong.
And it may not be globally and maybe

533
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:43.639
just in our own little lives,
but the big ones are when the whole

534
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:47.159
economy decides to slow down at the
same time and we're faced with job loss

535
00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:52.360
because most of us, you miss
one paycheck and we start missing making payments

536
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:54.639
on bills. So we have to
then decide who gets paid per second and

537
00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:58.360
third, and how do we get
by until we can get the next job,

538
00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:01.360
because there isn't a whole lot and
there's a whole lot of debt outstanding,

539
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:06.519
and they're in lies the rubs.
Sixty two percent of Americans are living

540
00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:09.320
paycheck to paycheck and bill. You
go to any poll, it doesn't matter

541
00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:15.079
whether it's a conservative poll a liberal
poll. Everybody thinks the economy is bad

542
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:19.880
and they're worse off than what they
were three or four years ago. So

543
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:24.880
I suppose it's not so much what
reality is, it's what perception of reality

544
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:28.760
is. We can leave reality to
the bills that are coming due. We

545
00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:34.519
can leave reality to sixty two percent
living paycheck to paycheck. The overall feeling

546
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:37.400
is is that this doesn't feel right
and it's not working, and that's a

547
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:40.800
problem, isn't it. That's right. But in spite of it not feeling

548
00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:46.800
right, the average person feels comfortable
enough about their own situation. They feel

549
00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:51.599
comfortable enough that they're going to be
able to maintain their jobs that they continue

550
00:40:51.639 --> 00:40:55.760
to borrow. And that's kind of
I guess a positive negative a sentiment is

551
00:40:57.000 --> 00:41:01.159
positive that their own ability is going
to be they to pay bills next month.

552
00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:07.599
Yet overall they think that we're in
for a catastrophe. And I think

553
00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:12.000
that the challenge here, or I
guess the warning sign is economic cycles are

554
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:14.559
going to run cycles. They call
them cycles for a reason. We go

555
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:19.159
boom bust. That happens. Some
parts of the world are more used to

556
00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:22.679
that than others. But I know
that the automobile industry used to boom bust.

557
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:27.719
I know that out in Midland,
Texas, oil and gas boom busts,

558
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:31.599
and people have gotten used to that. But overall we have this expansion

559
00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:37.679
contraction. That's a normal breathing pattern
of economy, and it's just good common

560
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:44.000
sense for an individual get themselves in
a position to be ready for a contraction

561
00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:46.320
should one happen. And if we
continue on with the happy times and the

562
00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:51.400
economy keeps doing well and we keep
seeing our four one ks increasing value,

563
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:55.039
that's wonderful. But we should make
ourselves in a position to where if we

564
00:41:55.239 --> 00:42:00.920
do have this contraction, that we're
not suddenly now based and some very hard

565
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:05.079
questions on who doesn't get paid,
how do we have, what can we

566
00:42:05.159 --> 00:42:08.679
not, what can we default on? How do we make ends meet when

567
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:14.679
there just isn't any money coming in
and nothing in the bank. It makes

568
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:22.480
sense to double check our own exposure
to our risks of job but also risk

569
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:24.920
to the marketplace. Check our portfolios
and make sure that we're going haven't gotten

570
00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:29.639
to your work over the past few
weeks of the market going up, and

571
00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:31.920
now we're fully exposed at a time
we might need to be pulling money from

572
00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:37.199
the market. Yeah, you know, unemployment is down, it's at a

573
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:43.800
workable number, but the underbelly is
the job market is tightening up. There

574
00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:45.960
was a time and not so long
ago, when there were an excess of

575
00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:50.440
ten million jobs that were unfilled.
Well, a lot of companies have figured

576
00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:52.559
out I don't really need to fill
that job. I can figure out a

577
00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:58.280
way around it, and maybe I
don't have to not necessarily downsize, but

578
00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:02.920
keep size. Lot of companies are
tightening up, which means that employees may

579
00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:08.559
not have the flexibility to try and
change jobs, and as we just talked

580
00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:14.880
about, because of this bubble,
their jobs may be in question down the

581
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:17.599
road. And my fear is is
that a lot of people just keep spending

582
00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:22.079
feeling I can pay my bills,
but they're paying, for example, on

583
00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:24.679
credit cards, they're paying the minimum, they're paying two hundred and twenty five

584
00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:29.800
dollars a month when they're running up
in excess of ten thousand dollars on that

585
00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:32.960
credit card. So, first of
all, never to get too cocky when

586
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:37.599
it comes to money. And second
of all, you got to know what

587
00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:39.840
your limitations are. You get too
far over your skis, you're going to

588
00:43:39.880 --> 00:43:44.400
get engulfed by a wave. And
I fear that's what's happening here because I

589
00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:46.039
know these numbers bill are going to
come out and they're going to come out

590
00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:49.840
soon. And I've got to say, look at how much money consumers spent

591
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:53.760
during the holiday season, and well, you and I both know you spend

592
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:58.320
too much now a month, two
months, three months down the road,

593
00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:02.119
even if you are employed, you
could be on the ropes right absolutely,

594
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:07.719
And I know a lot of people
have gotten used to that behavior that kind

595
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:10.159
of like maybe our waistlines. I
eat too much over the holidays. I

596
00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:14.239
know I'll put on the extra pounds, but I know by spring break time,

597
00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:16.679
I'll be back to bathing suit rate. I'll take it off later,

598
00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:22.360
I'll fast and then exercise. But
I think for a lot of us,

599
00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:25.800
we need to maybe double check and
make sure that we're doing the basics.

600
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:32.760
And it's probably as exciting as exercising
and dieting correctly, but the basics are

601
00:44:34.039 --> 00:44:37.480
doing some planning and doing budgeting and
make sure that we know how much we're

602
00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:40.199
spending, what does it really cost
to get by and are you getting maximum

603
00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:45.239
enjoyment out of every dollar you spending. Are you maybe wasting money just because

604
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:50.079
we've gotten lazy because we've had abundance, And maybe it's time to really examine

605
00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:53.880
what where can we save some money
and are we getting our dollars worth of

606
00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:58.599
every dollar we spend inflation? And
I know you know this, but it's

607
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:02.000
not something that happened in a vacuum. It's compounded. So when the government

608
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:06.719
will say, well, inflation was
only up three percent, well that's three

609
00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:09.320
percent compounded as to where it was
a year ago and where it was two

610
00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:14.639
years ago. Everything costs more,
so it's not really three percent. It's

611
00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:19.440
probably more like nineteen twenty percent.
And I think they're in is the disconnect

612
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:22.159
with a lot of people. They
say, well, it's only up three

613
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:24.079
percent, but then they go to
the grocery store and they see that,

614
00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:29.800
you know, the basics costs more, chicken, eggs, milk, bread.

615
00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:32.639
They see that what they buy looks
smaller. I said this last week.

616
00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:35.719
I'll say, I love M and
ms. You buy a pack of

617
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:37.920
M and ms, Now the M
and ms are smaller than what they were

618
00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:40.480
a year ago. I mean,
it's just there's shrinkflation, there's inflation,

619
00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:45.239
and there's what we're being told on
the other hand about inflation short maybe slowing,

620
00:45:46.039 --> 00:45:49.960
but what's left in its wake?
You know, you've got a little

621
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:53.280
scorched earth behind you with where inflation
has led us to right to this point

622
00:45:53.320 --> 00:46:00.199
today. Right absolutely. And when
people say inflation is under control, it

623
00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:04.280
doesn't mean it's gone. It means
that it's not. As it's not the

624
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:07.840
double digits we saw a couple of
years ago, it's not as scary,

625
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:13.159
but we're still seeing things increase year
every year. Yet there are some economists

626
00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:17.280
who are talking about something just as
scary called deflation, may be hitting us

627
00:46:17.320 --> 00:46:22.840
next year if all this suddenly happens
at one time that people wake up and

628
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:29.000
they realize they need to quit consuming, and with the lack of consumption comes

629
00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:34.199
loss of jobs. With loss of
jobs comes some defaults on credit cards or

630
00:46:34.239 --> 00:46:37.480
mortgages or student loan debt, and
then we start having that domino impact of

631
00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:43.039
one thing falls after another and it
creates a full fledged procession. And so

632
00:46:44.320 --> 00:46:49.719
there is that risk that we may
face some come up, and we may

633
00:46:49.800 --> 00:46:55.960
face that pull back. And inflation
is causing us to spend twenty to thirty

634
00:46:55.960 --> 00:47:00.719
percent more for things were buying daily
than we did three years ago. And

635
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:05.599
that's just that compounded effects you're talking
about. And it's not gone, it's

636
00:47:05.679 --> 00:47:09.039
just slowed down for a lot of
things. But if we suddenly hit the

637
00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:13.159
brakes real hard. We might go
to the other direction, which is just

638
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:16.119
as bad, and it scares the
economists just as much, and that's deflation.

639
00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:21.119
Bill Dendy's our guest. He is
a financial strategist. He's with Raymond

640
00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:23.360
James dot com. Okay, so
go back a year ago. Everybody,

641
00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:29.440
with the exception of The New York
Times Paul Krugman, we're predicting this recession

642
00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:34.559
that was going to hit. It
hasn't obviously hit yet. But who's the

643
00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:38.079
guy that held off the barbarians at
the gate? Was it Jerome Pale or

644
00:47:38.199 --> 00:47:43.079
was it other circumstances that led us
to where we are now? Where the

645
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:49.559
spending is still going on the market
seems to be robust, and despite the

646
00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:52.760
fact that a lot of people are
living paycheck to paycheck and are seeing or

647
00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:57.920
we'll see giant bills down the road. So how do we get here?

648
00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:02.719
Were these economists wrong a year ago
or is it just a vision delayed?

649
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:09.920
In your opinion, the reality will
probably hit in for a lot of individuals

650
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:15.639
that they cannot continue the consumption that
they've been able to maintain them the past

651
00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:20.880
couple of years indefinitely. And I
believe we will see a slowdown and we'll

652
00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:24.639
see that recession. I think that
economics were totally wrong in the timing of

653
00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:32.760
it. They underestimated the optimism of
the American worker and the consumer, and

654
00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:37.760
they felt that people would quickly make
adjustments when they saw that they could not

655
00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:45.559
pay for the lifestyle that they've enjoyed. But instead we just borrowed money.

656
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:50.159
So that borrowing the money is going
to create maybe a worse problem when he

657
00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:52.840
finally wake up to it. But
for the bed, he said, Gid

658
00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:55.960
droan Pyle credit. He couldn't have
asked for a better result. I mean,

659
00:48:57.039 --> 00:49:00.480
it looks like that soft landing that
people said would be impot possible.

660
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:04.840
It looks like that landing on the
Hudson that people talk about that just how

661
00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:07.440
do you do that turn and land
on the river? Oh my gosh.

662
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:12.119
The inflation seems to be gone.
We raised interest rates a ton over two

663
00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:15.559
years. We've now stopped raising interest
rates and the markets responding very well,

664
00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:22.159
the consumers still consuming. Unemployment is
still real low. Beautifully well done.

665
00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:25.440
But does this mean that we've just
pushed the problem and actually made it worse

666
00:49:25.519 --> 00:49:29.639
later? We don't know. And
that's what the communists are grappling with and

667
00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:34.840
a lot of them are saying that
they just gave the American consumer too much

668
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:38.719
credit for waking up to the circumstances
and adjusting their expenses when instead they didn't

669
00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:42.960
because money was still easy to borrow, and so they went out and borrowed

670
00:49:42.960 --> 00:49:46.079
it, which may create a bigger
problem down the road. You know,

671
00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:50.000
Bill, as you and I were
talking. Just as we were talking during

672
00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:54.039
this interview, ABC News has just
come out with I suppose I just want

673
00:49:54.079 --> 00:50:00.519
to make sure I give credit here. MasterCard did their own survey holiday growth

674
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:05.199
upper market markedly from one year to
the next last year. This year was

675
00:50:05.320 --> 00:50:10.480
up over three percent, restaurants seven
point percent increase year to year. Retail

676
00:50:10.880 --> 00:50:16.000
was up big as well. Retail
sales grew at a breakneck pace online six

677
00:50:16.039 --> 00:50:22.079
percent more than last year, and
so the majority approachases took place in person,

678
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:28.119
resulting in a three point one overall
overhaul overall upsurge from one year to

679
00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:30.320
the next. It's up, up, up, during the holiday season.

680
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:34.559
So that's just out here in the
last few minutes. So it's it's it's

681
00:50:34.599 --> 00:50:37.679
not the breaks aren't being applied right
now. I suppose the news is going

682
00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:42.400
to be good and the market's going
to love it. And what that means

683
00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:49.280
is that consumers did consume and that
is so positive for businesses, employment staying

684
00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:54.840
at good levels. It's so positive. Except one day we're going to have

685
00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:58.599
that come up. And so when
we realize that we can't continue to borrow,

686
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:02.760
we can't go to came to say
it, two trillion dollars well of

687
00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:06.960
court card gout. Yeah, Well, you know what, it's like anything

688
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:09.320
else, Bill, It's like anything
else. That's a reflection of where we

689
00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:14.760
are right now. We'll continue to
buy bye bye as long until those bills

690
00:51:14.760 --> 00:51:16.000
come in and then all of a
sudden, whoop, what did I do?

691
00:51:16.199 --> 00:51:19.519
You know? Can't do that anymore? We'll see, I hope not.

692
00:51:20.159 --> 00:51:22.480
This is good news economically, I
think on the retail front, and

693
00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:27.679
that is good. But if you're
living paycheck to paycheck, you don't need

694
00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:30.159
Bill Dandy or me to tell you
how difficult it is out there. Bill,

695
00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:35.159
great talking with you. Happy new
year. I know you and I'll

696
00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:39.119
talk into twenty twenty four very very
shortly. But between now and then,

697
00:51:39.159 --> 00:51:44.559
stay well and we'll tap back into
your expertise here real soon. Thank you.

698
00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:47.920
God bless, you can always pleasure
Bill dandy Man knows of what he

699
00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:52.840
speaks, knows of what he speaks. But the numbers released on retail sales

700
00:51:52.920 --> 00:52:00.440
online sales, consumers spent a record. It's almost ten billion nine nine point

701
00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:06.320
eight billion online on Black Friday alone, seven and a half percent increase over

702
00:52:06.400 --> 00:52:09.280
last year. So if you got
it, flaun it right. If you

703
00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:15.039
don't and you flaun it now,

isn't here now. And all of
these economists were wrong when they said a

715
00:53:06.199 --> 00:53:08.679
recession was coming in twenty twenty four. I don't think what they banked on

716

was the American consumer spending despite not
having, spending despite not having And isn't

You are the show? I don't know

721
00:53:45.559 --> 00:53:49.559
about that. Say did you have
a good Christmas? It looks like you

had a good prison Everything was good, ken Brew? How about yourself and

723

the Brew experience? The Brew crew? We had a good time. I

724
00:53:57.320 --> 00:53:59.840
you know, I made dinner.
I made dinner segment. How about that?

725
00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:06.320
I make I make this. It's
now my seemingly mythical lasagnia. I

726
00:54:06.360 --> 00:54:08.679
make this. Yeah, I make
I go. It's an old family recipe

727
00:54:08.679 --> 00:54:13.280
that I did. And then and
then and then I baked dessert. I

728
00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:19.239
had a get this and scratch.
I made a chocolate devil's food case cake

729
00:54:19.639 --> 00:54:25.480
with a white butter cream icing.
Holy moly, and man I had I

730
00:54:25.519 --> 00:54:30.360
had so much think. There was
like more things flying around that kitchen.

731
00:54:30.400 --> 00:54:36.440
I looked like Emerald Lagasi on steroids, spam kicking it up a notch can

732
00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:38.360
brew. That's what I like to
see. And then I did. But

733
00:54:38.519 --> 00:54:44.599
one dessert isn't good enough. So
then I made my now again seemingly mythical

734
00:54:45.239 --> 00:54:50.960
chocolate chip bourbon pie. Oh mercy, taste tastes like it's a pie that

735
00:54:51.119 --> 00:54:54.679
tastes like a chocolate chip cookie.
But I put it calls for two teaspoons

736
00:54:54.679 --> 00:54:58.840
of bourbon. I put about a
quarter cup of bourbon in it. And

737
00:54:58.880 --> 00:55:01.039
then I make this whipped cream.
It's just a straight whooped cream topping,

738
00:55:01.159 --> 00:55:05.280
and that calls for two teaspoons of
bourbon, and I put about a cup

739
00:55:05.280 --> 00:55:08.039
of bourbon in that that. I'll
tell you what, people, Wally Cow,

740
00:55:08.920 --> 00:55:12.800
I'm coming to your house next year. Well they didn't. They they

741
00:55:13.079 --> 00:55:16.760
didn't want to leave because they fell

Thank you, missus seg whatever happened
to Sega Claus. Uh. He made

779
00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:40.599
his appearance about four or five times
this month, he did. Yes,

780
00:57:42.039 --> 00:57:45.360
he was not at Redsfest, though, was he him? The Reds have

781
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:47.320
not asked me to do that for
a few years, ken Brew. I

782
00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:50.719
don't know why. I must have
been a bad Santa and that, you

783
00:57:50.760 --> 00:57:52.599
know, like that guy in that
movie. Could I could I get involved

784
00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:55.119
in this and make sure you're there
next year? No, I mean I'd

785
00:57:55.159 --> 00:57:58.519
love to do it. I did
it for years of Reds Fest, and

786
00:57:58.599 --> 00:58:02.360
uh then maybe maybe, uh you
know, maybe maybe my appearance fee got

787
00:58:02.400 --> 00:58:05.840
too much. Well they said,
where else you're gonna go? And then

788
00:58:05.880 --> 00:58:07.840
you have places to go? Yeah, that's true, you're right. So

789
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:12.159
I don't know. But it was
fun. It was fun to dress that

790
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:15.639
up. And I did it at
I did it at the last Bengals tailgate,

791
00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:20.440
yep, the last, the second
last, the home game just before

792
00:58:20.519 --> 00:58:24.400
Christmas, and people were taking pictures
like crazy and everything else, and everybody

793
00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:28.440
was having a good time. Good
That's what it's all about. That's what

794
00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:30.400
life is all about. Said,
you know, when this is not a

795
00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:35.039
dress rehearsal, you only get one
shot at this, amen. I have

796
00:58:35.400 --> 00:58:38.159
fun, that's for sure, ken
Brew. Absolutely, Bengal players have the

797
00:58:38.239 --> 00:58:43.079
day off today. They'll get back
to practice tomorrow getting ready for that road

798
00:58:43.159 --> 00:58:46.280
contest Sunday at Kansas City. The
day off last I think they yeah,

799
00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:52.360
I think they've been off since Friday
of last last week. Seven point Dogs

800
00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:57.159
right now and more on Bengals line
tonight, Lance and Lap six oh five

801
00:58:57.239 --> 00:59:00.559
right here on seven hundred WLW.
I watched you watch that game, right,

802
00:59:01.039 --> 00:59:04.239
Yes? I did, ken Brew. Let me ask you this.

803
00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:09.079
They play, they play a team
that they their starting safeties were out.

804
00:59:09.119 --> 00:59:13.000
They had to move a cornerback to
a safety to just to get through the

805
00:59:13.039 --> 00:59:15.320
game. They had like a fourth
string safety on the other side. Yep,

806
00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:21.000
they got they got. They got
nothing past Cameron Hayward and TJ.

807
00:59:21.079 --> 00:59:24.920
Watt. They got nothing. And
they come out there and lay like that.

808
00:59:24.960 --> 00:59:29.239
How does this happen? And the
teams and the overall the teams in

809
00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:34.000
turmoil with Pickens and the rest of
them, you know, mouthing off against

810
00:59:34.039 --> 00:59:37.360
each other, and they want to
run Mike Tomlin out of town. They

811
00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:39.119
already ran a couple of coaches out
of there now, So I mean,

812
00:59:39.480 --> 00:59:44.440
you know it was it was Pittsburgh
turmoil. And uh, they just came

813
00:59:44.480 --> 00:59:46.079
out and I had a feeling,
ken Brew, it wasn't going to be

814
00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:50.599
a good day. When that second
play of the game went for ninety two

815
00:59:50.679 --> 00:59:53.119
yards and mister Pickens was running toward
the end zone. The guy that was

816
00:59:53.119 --> 00:59:58.960
in the doghouse catches that the second
play of the game. Yeah, didn't

817
00:59:59.000 --> 01:00:02.239
you figure that? Have they not
figured Mike Tomlin out by now? That

818
01:00:02.280 --> 01:00:07.880
what Tomlin does, even if he's
got a problem player is motivate the problem

819
01:00:07.880 --> 01:00:10.519
player. Could they not figure out
that at some point early in that game

820
01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:14.719
they were going to throw the ball
to Pickens to get the crowd off his

821
01:00:14.880 --> 01:00:17.039
rear end and get the media shut
up. Could they not figure that out?

822
01:00:17.079 --> 01:00:22.239
Going? I get obviously they didn't. I'm watching this. I had

823
01:00:22.239 --> 01:00:25.519
adjustment at halftime there. Maybe I'm
sitting on my couch right right. There's

824
01:00:25.519 --> 01:00:29.159
not a lot of people that are
sitting around me, but I think a

825
01:00:29.159 --> 01:00:31.199
lot of people have heard me when
I said they're going to throw to Pickens.

826
01:00:31.440 --> 01:00:35.719
They're going to throw to Pickens.
What happens they throw to Pickens?

827
01:00:35.920 --> 01:00:38.880
Yep? Drives me crazy. They're
eight and seven now, ken Brew,

828
01:00:38.880 --> 01:00:45.280
and on the outside looking in,
and that New York Times Sports Machine says

829
01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:49.280
they got a ninety two percent chance
of making it if they win the last

830
01:00:49.320 --> 01:00:52.960
two games. Of course, they
have to have what sixty seven thousand other

831
01:00:52.000 --> 01:00:55.960
things happen right with other teams to
get in. They have to have one.

832
01:00:57.199 --> 01:00:59.960
No, it's not that season.
Go right ahead, let's see.

833
01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:04.199
Uh, Baltimore smokes of the Niners. Last night, the Eagles hold off

834
01:01:04.199 --> 01:01:07.679
the Giants. They were getting a
little nervous there and then and then I

835
01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:13.039
don't think this helped the Raiders upset
the Chiefs. You got, you got,

836
01:01:13.119 --> 01:01:17.599
you got Mahomes doing a tantrum on
the sideline, missus Taylor Swift is

837
01:01:17.639 --> 01:01:22.840
doing through his helmet and he went
crazy. And then, uh, you

838
01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:25.920
know in that game, the Raiders
did not complete a pass after the first

839
01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:30.400
quarter. Did you hear about this? Said that after that game that there

840
01:01:30.400 --> 01:01:36.840
were Chiefs fans online on Twitter out
of them, Yeah, referring to Taylor

841
01:01:36.880 --> 01:01:43.559
Swift as Yoko's swift. Ough Yok
broke the Bengals football saying that Taylor Swift

842
01:01:43.639 --> 01:01:46.320
is going up the Kansas City Chiefs. Here we go, Yoko's swift.

843
01:01:46.360 --> 01:01:51.840
Though, I think that I think
maybe do any of the Bengals have the

844
01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:57.320
Wherewithal ken Brew to maybe wear a
T shirt that says that walking into their

845
01:01:57.360 --> 01:02:00.440
locker room Sunday. No, you
know what you know, back in the

846
01:02:00.519 --> 01:02:05.119
good old days, you know what
would have happened is they would have is

847
01:02:05.400 --> 01:02:09.239
Palmer would have thrown a touchdown past
the Ocho Cinco and Ocho Sinko would have

848
01:02:09.239 --> 01:02:14.440
gone to the sidelines and put on
or grow a hat and the cane like

849
01:02:15.039 --> 01:02:17.679
Taylor Swift, pat and do a
dance. You know you yes, for

850
01:02:17.800 --> 01:02:22.119
sure Senko would have come up with
something. Yeah, there would have been

851
01:02:22.119 --> 01:02:28.360
something on the sidelines in a gym
bag or something something Yoko Swift though I

852
01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:30.320
did not know that, ken Brew. That's pretty good all over Twitter.

853
01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:35.800
Yeah, well, hopefully the Bengals
can keep can keep the mess going in

854
01:02:35.840 --> 01:02:38.800
the Chiefs, hopefully with a win
on Sunday. Well, we like chaos,

855
01:02:38.840 --> 01:02:42.679
sig we like that better than that, that's for sure. Perdue remains

856
01:02:42.760 --> 01:02:46.000
number one in the nation, ken
Brew in the latest AP College basketball poll.

857
01:02:46.960 --> 01:02:52.119
H let's see Kentucky's up to eighth. And how about this? You

858
01:02:52.159 --> 01:02:55.800
hear about that the Dodgers new seven
hundred million dollar man your guy showy Otani,

859
01:02:57.000 --> 01:03:01.800
I like him saying thanks over the
weekend to teammate Joe Kelly for saying

860
01:03:01.920 --> 01:03:09.239
allowing him to uh Otani to take
number seventeen. Otani gives Kelly's wife a

861
01:03:09.320 --> 01:03:17.559
new Porsche. I'm serious. It's
on social media. It's got to be

862
01:03:17.639 --> 01:03:22.239
right. Well, no, of
course there's like a new Porsche like sitting

863
01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:24.920
on their street and they said,
hey, you know, come out here

864
01:03:24.960 --> 01:03:28.119
and look at this. So what
is this is? This is yours?

865
01:03:28.519 --> 01:03:31.920
What if the Great American returned from
wherever he is right now, you know,

866
01:03:32.079 --> 01:03:37.159
is he's down there on the beach
doing fire dances in Florida, whatever's

867
01:03:37.199 --> 01:03:40.400
going on down there at sunset?
What if he comes What if he comes

868
01:03:40.440 --> 01:03:44.480
back and he is number one?
You know that at the Big One right

869
01:03:44.519 --> 01:03:47.239
right right? I mean the one
in the Big One is the Great American?

870
01:03:47.400 --> 01:03:52.639
What if he comes back and bequeaths
that number one status? What if

871
01:03:52.679 --> 01:03:54.400
he sits down in that cheer you're
sitting in again, by the way,

872
01:03:54.599 --> 01:04:00.159
Jem, he sits down and he
just says, I'm bequeathing my number one

873
01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:06.320
status. We better go, We
better go put up a fun go fundme

874
01:04:06.400 --> 01:04:10.840
page. Now do you think he
if he bequeathed that to Mike McConnell,

875
01:04:10.960 --> 01:04:15.039
that he would then buy missus McConnell
a brand new Porsche. I don't think

876
01:04:15.079 --> 01:04:19.119
so. No, No, I
don't think something I could see it.

877
01:04:19.760 --> 01:04:24.000
Yeah, No, what am I
talking about? No, it wouldn't be

878
01:04:24.039 --> 01:04:28.119
a new Porsche, would be a
new Joseph Chevrolet. Can prove that's what

879
01:04:28.199 --> 01:04:30.159
it would be. That he'd hand
the payment book to McConnell. Correct,

880
01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:35.840
Now you mentioned basketball sake, you
heard of this guy, bracketology guy.

881
01:04:36.519 --> 01:04:42.159
Oh yeah, yes, I'm walking
at Joe Lenardi's latest sixty eighteen bracket,

882
01:04:42.239 --> 01:04:46.960
and you know who I don't see
Xavior, Xavier or Cincinnati. He's got

883
01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:54.119
Cincinnati as one of the I guess
one of the last eight teams out.

884
01:04:54.280 --> 01:04:57.599
Okay, they're not a first four
out there a next four out. Okay,

885
01:04:58.079 --> 01:05:00.400
Xavier's nowhere. No, they're not
even in that playing thing they have

886
01:05:00.559 --> 01:05:03.800
up in Dayton. Wow, he
hasn't. Either of these teams are going

887
01:05:03.880 --> 01:05:08.400
to make it to the to the
field of sixty four, which is not

888
01:05:08.480 --> 01:05:14.239
good news considering they both begin well, Xavier continues, but you see begins

889
01:05:14.320 --> 01:05:17.679
conference play here very soon. That's
correct. It could be an interesting year,

890
01:05:17.760 --> 01:05:21.360
ken Brew, You I don't know, it's you know what, you

891
01:05:21.360 --> 01:05:25.920
know what Xavier's hanging around five hundred? U sees what ten and two?

892
01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:29.320
Yeah, but uh, you know
big twelve is coming, but the Big

893
01:05:29.360 --> 01:05:31.840
twelve is coming. And then n
k U is kind of within the five

894
01:05:31.920 --> 01:05:39.559
hundred mark and the Wildcats are eighth
in the nation now and uh, Kentuck

895
01:05:39.679 --> 01:05:45.360
loisill stinks fourth seed play in Indiana
and he's got Ohio State is a seventh

896
01:05:45.360 --> 01:05:48.599
seed play in Mississippi State. You
know. So that's Remember remember when every

897
01:05:48.639 --> 01:05:53.960
team around here made it like for
years, for years, I mean literally

898
01:05:54.000 --> 01:05:59.159
every every team from eight to A
to X and Illustrated had that that article.

899
01:05:59.760 --> 01:06:01.880
I think it was in nineteen ninety
five or ninety six, and it

900
01:06:02.039 --> 01:06:06.119
was the picture of the Ohio,
Kentucky and Indiana and it said a river

901
01:06:06.320 --> 01:06:11.079
runs through it. Yep. It
was all about the basketball that was being

902
01:06:11.119 --> 01:06:15.440
played at at one time in this
town. Those were the days said go

903
01:06:15.760 --> 01:06:17.599
into that, ken Brew, Now
what do we have? Who knows?

904
01:06:17.639 --> 01:06:23.800
Maybe in the sixty four team field, maybe maybe Xavier will turn things around.

905
01:06:23.920 --> 01:06:27.119
Maybe you've been I don't know,
like you said, they haven't they

906
01:06:27.159 --> 01:06:30.360
haven't hit the old uh you know, Big twelve yet. So look what

907
01:06:30.519 --> 01:06:34.280
happened in football. It's early,
everything's early, So that's for sure early.

908
01:06:34.559 --> 01:06:38.079
What else is going on here?
That's all I got. It's it,

909
01:06:38.519 --> 01:06:42.199
that's it, well, you know, all I got. All I

910
01:06:42.280 --> 01:06:45.199
know is this, there are two
games left, and they got to win

911
01:06:45.320 --> 01:06:47.719
both and they still might not get
in. That's correct because I think I

912
01:06:47.840 --> 01:06:51.360
said this earlier. I think Buffalo's
in. Yeah, they played New England

913
01:06:51.440 --> 01:06:54.800
this week, that'll get them to
ten wins. Yeah, I think they

914
01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:58.360
beat New England in Buffalo. New
England, you know, smacked around Denver

915
01:06:58.480 --> 01:07:00.000
pretty good, but then had to
hang on. Then they got to go

916
01:07:00.079 --> 01:07:03.039
to Miami and play, and Miami
may be playing for a number one seat

917
01:07:03.079 --> 01:07:08.119
depending on what Baltimore does. That's
true. I think Buffalo's in. I

918
01:07:08.199 --> 01:07:13.679
think Cleveland's in. Cleveland's got ten
already to make Houston Thursday night don't win

919
01:07:13.760 --> 01:07:18.639
that game, particularly if Stroud doesn't
play. I don't you know what the

920
01:07:18.719 --> 01:07:21.960
Jets. They played the Jets in
Cleveland and then they wind up here and

921
01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:25.920
then they wind up here. So
I think Cleveland's in. I don't know,

922
01:07:26.039 --> 01:07:29.800
it's Pittsburgh's got what two road games, right, Yeah, I think

923
01:07:29.840 --> 01:07:31.960
Pitts. I think Pittsburgh's done.
I think Denver's done. It's going to

924
01:07:32.039 --> 01:07:35.880
come down to the Bengals, Indianapolis
or Houston for that final playoff spot.

925
01:07:36.519 --> 01:07:40.880
But that's only if, it's only
if Cincinnati win, correct, and they

926
01:07:40.880 --> 01:07:45.480
ain't going to Kansas I don't care
anything about Yoko Swift though, No way

927
01:07:45.519 --> 01:07:47.599
in hell. They're going to Kansas
City this week and beat the Chiefs if

928
01:07:47.599 --> 01:07:51.639
they play like they did in Pittsburgh
exactly right, And then and then you

929
01:07:51.719 --> 01:07:56.320
know, the Chiefs are gonna want
to wrap up the division and you know,

930
01:07:56.480 --> 01:07:59.719
and probably cool off one one,
you know, the last game of

931
01:07:59.760 --> 01:08:02.480
the year. Ye right, So
I don't know, and then you know,

932
01:08:03.239 --> 01:08:05.559
you got you got the Chiefs right
now, right, they're nine and

933
01:08:05.719 --> 01:08:09.360
six, right, probably they're gonna
win. I mean, the next closest

934
01:08:09.400 --> 01:08:14.519
competitor is Las Vegas. They're gonna
have to have a complete breakdown for correct

935
01:08:14.840 --> 01:08:16.880
for that. So they're gonna win
that division, yep. But now they

936
01:08:16.960 --> 01:08:20.520
can't. They can't get the number
one seed. That's out. And you

937
01:08:20.600 --> 01:08:25.960
got Baltimore playing Miami. You've got
Baltimore against Miami for the number one seed.

938
01:08:26.159 --> 01:08:29.359
It's it's coming down on the last
weekend, Amen, last weekend.

939
01:08:29.359 --> 01:08:31.920
It's gonna be interesting, ken Brew. Everything in life is sick. Everything

940
01:08:32.039 --> 01:08:36.520
is interesting in life is interesting.
That's for sure. I got nothing else

941
01:08:36.600 --> 01:08:39.840
for you. You got anything else? I got nothing? All right,

942
01:08:39.960 --> 01:08:43.119
we should probably you'll be back at
two thirty because they have more questions,

943
01:08:44.720 --> 01:08:47.760
we got more answers. Well,
let's hold all right, ken Brew.

944
01:08:47.840 --> 01:08:53.640
In honor of a kind of a
gloomy day after Christmas, hope you got

945
01:08:53.720 --> 01:08:56.720
it. Hope you got everything you
wanted from Santa. If not, go

946
01:08:56.840 --> 01:09:00.000
to a store and now you probably
get it for half price today. Absolutely,

947
01:09:00.239 --> 01:09:01.840
and say it's going to look like
this every day from now until like

948
01:09:02.159 --> 01:09:05.359
April twelfth. That's true. This
is this is what we got. We

949
01:09:05.520 --> 01:09:12.640
leave you with the immortal words of
the Stood Report. Life's never easy in

950
01:09:12.720 --> 01:09:15.920
the National Football League. This is
It's just amazing, isn't it. Thank

951
01:09:16.000 --> 01:09:20.000
you Lap when we got that right. How about how about Sam Hubbard saying

952
01:09:20.039 --> 01:09:24.239
they need to be more physical?
Huh what you said that? In the

953
01:09:24.279 --> 01:09:26.600
locker room? Laps in there,
he's doing the you know, locker room

954
01:09:26.680 --> 01:09:29.359
scrum in there with them, all
the other writers and reporters. That's you're

955
01:09:29.359 --> 01:09:32.079
supposed to do that every week,
right, and and they and Lapp said,

956
01:09:32.079 --> 01:09:34.119
well, you won the last two
weeks, the last two years,

957
01:09:34.199 --> 01:09:39.560
you win. Oops. It might
have been another reporter and lap was just

958
01:09:39.640 --> 01:09:42.039
there. I don't know. I'm
listening to this audio and Hubbard says,

959
01:09:42.119 --> 01:09:45.840
yeah, we we gotta be more
we gotta be more physical. I'm like,

960
01:09:46.680 --> 01:09:49.680
okay, this this should not be
an issue with two games to go

961
01:09:49.760 --> 01:09:53.920
in the season. It's gonna say
two to go in your playoff, in

962
01:09:54.000 --> 01:09:58.920
your playoff hopes are almost diminished.
Yeah, you should be a We should

963
01:09:58.960 --> 01:10:00.720
be more physical. That's what we
need to be doing. They haven't won

964
01:10:00.800 --> 01:10:04.600
a game in their division. That's
unbelievable. When it might have, When

965
01:10:04.680 --> 01:10:08.600
might it daught on you that maybe
you got to rough up the other guy?

966
01:10:08.760 --> 01:10:11.840
Bingo, I don't know, say
the whole world's out of whack.

967
01:10:11.880 --> 01:10:15.600
I can't make sure, especially in
the National Football League. I gotta go

968
01:10:15.680 --> 01:10:20.199
downstairs at what are we done here? Three? Yes? All right,

969
01:10:20.239 --> 01:10:23.880
so I'll get home at three thirty. I gotta go downstairs when I get

970
01:10:23.880 --> 01:10:27.039
home and throw those people out.
Okay, it's been here so it's like

971
01:10:27.319 --> 01:10:30.319
noon yesterday. Tell Yoko Swift though
we said hello, oh well on seven

972
01:10:30.399 --> 01:10:42.039
hundred w welw at the door they
have found. Then believe this little level.

973
01:10:43.039 --> 01:10:47.319
You can tell that win that I
was bad of the bowl, bad

974
01:10:47.560 --> 01:10:53.880
of the bowl? The bowl?
All right, two o seven. It's

975
01:10:53.960 --> 01:10:57.439
the average American and put the great
American on this glorious day after Christmas.

976
01:10:57.520 --> 01:11:01.479
Glad you here with us. Don't
know who you spent the holidays with Saturday,

977
01:11:01.520 --> 01:11:06.079
Sunday yesterday. Don't know who you're
spending the holidays with this coming weekend?

978
01:11:06.319 --> 01:11:11.479
Chances are, chances are you may
be spending them with someone you're not

979
01:11:11.680 --> 01:11:15.880
really fired up about spending a holiday
with. Because, believe it or not,

980
01:11:16.479 --> 01:11:19.960
this is a time of the year
when a lot of people do assessments

981
01:11:20.039 --> 01:11:25.000
of what kind of relationship they're in, whether or not it's working for them,

982
01:11:26.920 --> 01:11:30.840
and that you or they or someone
may be in for one of those

983
01:11:30.960 --> 01:11:38.560
dreaded come to Heesu's discussions about why
this may not be working. But do

984
01:11:38.680 --> 01:11:42.800
people really want to go through Christmas, New Year's this time of the year

985
01:11:42.960 --> 01:11:46.359
alone if they've been alone for so
many years and they've found someone who just

986
01:11:46.640 --> 01:11:53.199
might not be mister right or mis
right? And should you just stay together

987
01:11:53.359 --> 01:11:58.800
during the holiday season simply because of
that loneliness or fear of it? In

988
01:11:58.920 --> 01:12:02.079
other words, if it's time to
go your separate ways, does it really

989
01:12:02.239 --> 01:12:08.359
matter what the calendar says? Standing
by? Who's is someone who's an expert

990
01:12:08.439 --> 01:12:12.279
on this? As a matter of
fact, Tony Berquist is a professional matchmaker

991
01:12:12.560 --> 01:12:16.159
and dating expert. She's got a
company called The Agency, and the Agency

992
01:12:16.319 --> 01:12:21.800
is a highly personalized, invitation only
firm. I feel feel honored that she's

993
01:12:21.840 --> 01:12:25.680
invited us into her world right now, Tony, how are you on this

994
01:12:25.800 --> 01:12:30.520
glorious day? I'm great? How
are you? I? I'm somewhat less

995
01:12:30.600 --> 01:12:32.600
than that, but I've got several
hours I can get there before midnight.

996
01:12:36.039 --> 01:12:40.319
Yeah. But so, this is
really a time of the year where I

997
01:12:40.359 --> 01:12:44.520
think a lot of people are not
a lot, but a certain significant number

998
01:12:44.560 --> 01:12:48.159
of people are deciding whether or not
they want to stay in the environment of

999
01:12:48.279 --> 01:12:51.920
which they've chosen or made, whether
or not they want the person that they're

1000
01:12:53.000 --> 01:12:56.720
with right now to remain a part
of their lives. What is it about

1001
01:12:56.840 --> 01:13:03.399
holidays and seminal moments like this?
I'm not sure that I would think if

1002
01:13:03.439 --> 01:13:08.760
you're like thinking about breaking up with
somebody, you would think about it prior

1003
01:13:08.840 --> 01:13:15.239
to the holidays, or maybe after
the holidays. I would suggest unless there's

1004
01:13:15.319 --> 01:13:23.000
like an intense betrayal at this time. If you've all you're going to stick

1005
01:13:23.039 --> 01:13:28.880
it through the holidays, then you've
made that decision. I'm really not one

1006
01:13:29.199 --> 01:13:34.039
to advocate for people staying together just
so they're not alone, because I think

1007
01:13:34.119 --> 01:13:39.800
that there's a level of feeling more
lonely when you're with somebody who's not your

1008
01:13:39.880 --> 01:13:45.840
person. Yeah, it just to
me. You get to these moments during

1009
01:13:45.880 --> 01:13:48.720
a calendar year, obviously this time
of the year, maybe Valentine's Day,

1010
01:13:49.840 --> 01:13:54.079
maybe the end of a semester at
college, wherever it may be, And

1011
01:13:54.439 --> 01:13:57.479
if you're really being honest with yourself, I think you have to look inside

1012
01:13:57.520 --> 01:14:01.840
and say is this working. Chances
are, if you're thinking about it,

1013
01:14:02.640 --> 01:14:06.119
there have been warning signs along the
way that might have led you to the

1014
01:14:06.199 --> 01:14:11.840
position of your thinking about it and
maybe maybe having the discussion. There'll have

1015
01:14:11.920 --> 01:14:15.319
to be warning signs, right,
Yes, And in all my years of

1016
01:14:15.520 --> 01:14:21.319
you know, talking to singles or
couples, I've never really encountered somebody that's

1017
01:14:21.399 --> 01:14:30.520
broken up during the holidays, if
they've had the if they had the feeling

1018
01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:34.239
that that that's not their person.
They tend to do it either before.

1019
01:14:35.199 --> 01:14:40.560
And if they really don't want to
be with that person, it's probably best

1020
01:14:41.800 --> 01:14:46.520
whether it's the holidays or not.
Well, I mean, if you aren't

1021
01:14:47.199 --> 01:14:51.399
supposed to be with that person,
you shouldn't one year. It's not like

1022
01:14:51.960 --> 01:14:56.880
it just comes upon you all of
a sudden it's Christmas and you realize,

1023
01:14:56.920 --> 01:14:59.039
oh, I don't want to be
with you anymore. It's Christmas Day.

1024
01:15:00.640 --> 01:15:03.560
If that feeling comes up, yeah, I think it's probably better to wait,

1025
01:15:05.000 --> 01:15:09.760
unless there's, like I said,
an intense betrayal or something that occurs

1026
01:15:09.920 --> 01:15:14.119
that you just can't bounce back from. Yeah. And you know, and

1027
01:15:14.199 --> 01:15:18.600
again, it's kind of like any
other relationship, marriage or otherwise, if

1028
01:15:18.640 --> 01:15:24.439
you're just staying together because of some
outside force, I don't want to be

1029
01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:28.640
alone during the holiday season. Not
good enough, you know. I mean,

1030
01:15:28.720 --> 01:15:32.319
it just just doesn't work that way, does it. No, And

1031
01:15:32.640 --> 01:15:38.840
I think that I do not think
people should settle for love. I think

1032
01:15:38.920 --> 01:15:42.199
that you can. I think it
tends to be lonelier to be with somebody

1033
01:15:42.279 --> 01:15:46.319
that you're not truly meant to be
with. And if you do that,

1034
01:15:46.479 --> 01:15:53.520
you're you're basically, you know,
giving yourself very little chance to find the

1035
01:15:53.600 --> 01:15:59.039
right person for you. Like I
said, I don't really think that it's

1036
01:15:59.039 --> 01:16:02.960
an opportune to to break up.
I think if if you have that feeling,

1037
01:16:03.760 --> 01:16:09.079
you know beforehand, Yeah, yeah, well certainly not today. I

1038
01:16:09.119 --> 01:16:11.680
mean, you already if it's Christmas, you already gave her or him a

1039
01:16:11.720 --> 01:16:15.720
gift. I mean, so give
it more today, right, right?

1040
01:16:15.199 --> 01:16:18.840
Yeah, But you know, just
because it's a holiday, it doesn't mean

1041
01:16:18.880 --> 01:16:26.159
that life isn't, you know,
going on and happening. Yeah, you

1042
01:16:26.199 --> 01:16:29.279
know. I think if it does
happen at this time of the year,

1043
01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:33.600
you know, some would say,
okay, there's still I don't know how

1044
01:16:33.680 --> 01:16:38.119
fastive you'd want to be, but
there are still events that occur at this

1045
01:16:38.279 --> 01:16:41.640
time of the year would allow you
at least the opportunity to get out and

1046
01:16:42.319 --> 01:16:46.000
circulate again, or get back into
reconnecting with old friends or something like that.

1047
01:16:46.279 --> 01:16:49.680
So it's not like it's the middle
of the winter and nobody wants to

1048
01:16:49.760 --> 01:16:54.239
go out. It's not all that
bad, I suppose, if indeed it

1049
01:16:54.279 --> 01:16:58.319
does happen, right, I mean, I have a friend who left her

1050
01:16:58.439 --> 01:17:02.319
fiance on New Or's Eve. You
know, it was just that they were

1051
01:17:02.399 --> 01:17:08.760
they were just done, you know, and she signed. And I have

1052
01:17:08.920 --> 01:17:13.680
seen people break up, you know, during on birthdays or different holidays,

1053
01:17:13.720 --> 01:17:16.159
and they're fine, you know,
obviously for a couple of years after you

1054
01:17:16.319 --> 01:17:19.359
kind of you kind of think,
oh, this time last year we broke

1055
01:17:19.479 --> 01:17:27.640
up or you know, you know, but that fades every time. But

1056
01:17:28.720 --> 01:17:32.720
you know, it is not a
one size fits all answer for everybody because

1057
01:17:32.760 --> 01:17:39.920
everybody's situation is different. So advice
advice is that, oh, should you

1058
01:17:39.960 --> 01:17:45.399
break up during the holidays is really
hard because it depends on the person's situation

1059
01:17:45.640 --> 01:17:49.720
and how they're feeling. I think
an emotionally intelligent couple, if they're not

1060
01:17:50.039 --> 01:17:55.199
doing well prior to the holidays,
should probably end it. If you're doing

1061
01:17:55.279 --> 01:17:58.000
it for family or for other purposes, and you're going to put on a

1062
01:17:58.039 --> 01:18:02.319
happy face and you make that decision
and then break up after. But that

1063
01:18:02.479 --> 01:18:10.479
requires emotional intelligence. I would guess
it's a it's not an easy thing for

1064
01:18:10.880 --> 01:18:14.720
singles to connect. I mean for
singles to connect, and that's where the

1065
01:18:14.800 --> 01:18:17.079
agency comes in. And my guess, and again this is a guess and

1066
01:18:17.159 --> 01:18:21.000
correct me if I'm wrong here is
that one of the things that you do

1067
01:18:21.560 --> 01:18:27.960
is to try and pair people so
they don't get to a point where it's

1068
01:18:28.000 --> 01:18:30.800
that way. I mean, there's
there's finality to everything right in life.

1069
01:18:30.840 --> 01:18:34.960
It doesn't matter whether it's love or
life itself. But I would what you

1070
01:18:35.039 --> 01:18:40.000
try to do. Well, Yeah, I'm a matchmaker, so I absolutely

1071
01:18:40.319 --> 01:18:45.520
I have matches and marriages and my
sole purpose at being a matchmaker is to

1072
01:18:45.600 --> 01:18:51.720
help people find the love of their
life and hopefully get them married. I

1073
01:18:51.880 --> 01:18:56.640
just found out two days ago one
of my matches got married, so that's

1074
01:18:56.720 --> 01:19:00.720
just that's the dream for me,
is always connecting people to get married.

1075
01:19:00.840 --> 01:19:04.319
Also, most people don't really want
to be on the apps, at least

1076
01:19:04.359 --> 01:19:09.079
the people that come to me,
So I give them a way to meet

1077
01:19:09.960 --> 01:19:15.720
and a time when it's very difficult
to meet organically. Right right, when

1078
01:19:15.800 --> 01:19:20.680
you when you when you uh,
you talk to people and maybe they come

1079
01:19:20.760 --> 01:19:25.680
back to you. When a relationship
is starting to get on the skids,

1080
01:19:26.079 --> 01:19:30.319
do you encourage the talk to sit
down and just be open and honest about

1081
01:19:30.359 --> 01:19:32.239
it, or or or if you're
going to break it, get out of

1082
01:19:32.439 --> 01:19:34.079
get out of town. As soon
as you can. How do you what

1083
01:19:34.159 --> 01:19:40.680
do you do? I had this
happen recently where I had a client he

1084
01:19:40.880 --> 01:19:44.000
you know, they were younger at
early thirties, and he wanted to propose.

1085
01:19:44.159 --> 01:19:47.479
They did have a couple issues that
were very difficult, and I refer

1086
01:19:47.600 --> 01:19:51.920
them to a counselor. I gave
them the best coaching that I could,

1087
01:19:54.199 --> 01:19:57.199
and I refer them to a counselor
because I knew that they loved each other.

1088
01:19:57.680 --> 01:20:00.680
I mean, he was going to
propose to her, So I definitely

1089
01:20:00.760 --> 01:20:03.640
say, try to work it out
if if you really love each other.

1090
01:20:03.880 --> 01:20:10.520
Absolutely, a lot of people,
you know, don't know how to be

1091
01:20:10.600 --> 01:20:15.720
in a relationship because their environment has
been their teacher. So it depends on

1092
01:20:15.680 --> 01:20:18.680
what your you know, what your
parents are like, or what what the

1093
01:20:18.720 --> 01:20:23.680
people around you, what their relationships
are like, and the level of your

1094
01:20:24.039 --> 01:20:30.479
you know, emotional capability of being
in a relationship and and everything that we've

1095
01:20:30.600 --> 01:20:36.520
learned through society that's just not normal. And there's a lot of that.

1096
01:20:38.319 --> 01:20:43.560
A lot of the problems come from
they've normalized the abnormal and relationships. It's

1097
01:20:43.680 --> 01:20:48.359
kind of like where they say it's
okay to be like the worst version of

1098
01:20:48.439 --> 01:20:53.640
yourself the person you love the most
because they love you and they should accept

1099
01:20:53.720 --> 01:20:58.199
you. That's kind of baffling to
me, Like, why would you be

1100
01:20:58.359 --> 01:21:01.399
the worst version of your off the
person you love the most, or to

1101
01:21:01.479 --> 01:21:08.000
anyone, I mean really well to
anybody, obviously to anybody. But but

1102
01:21:08.199 --> 01:21:14.960
just that in itself has been very
normalized. A lot of things that that

1103
01:21:15.079 --> 01:21:17.279
I don't think are normal have been
normalized, and we kind of need to

1104
01:21:17.319 --> 01:21:24.800
go back to just the fundamentals of
not being selfish in relationships and having the

1105
01:21:24.880 --> 01:21:30.640
emotional intelligence and if you don't know
how, finding experts that and there are

1106
01:21:30.680 --> 01:21:35.600
a couple really good experts that can
teach you very simply, and then it's

1107
01:21:35.680 --> 01:21:41.279
just applying, you know, applying
the knowledge in the relationship. How do

1108
01:21:41.359 --> 01:21:44.920
you fight fairly? That's a great
one, you know, if you're in

1109
01:21:45.000 --> 01:21:47.960
a fight, how do you fight
fairly without you know, just hurting each

1110
01:21:48.000 --> 01:21:53.399
other and not letting it get to
a point to where it is. But

1111
01:21:53.560 --> 01:21:57.520
I mean, by the way,
we're chatting with Tony Burkwist Matchmader dating experts.

1112
01:21:57.560 --> 01:22:00.479
He's at our exclusive agency dot com. But I guess I guess,

1113
01:22:00.880 --> 01:22:04.880
like anything else though about breaking up
at this time of the year. The

1114
01:22:04.960 --> 01:22:10.239
holidays in and of themselves are stressful, So why would it not stand a

1115
01:22:10.319 --> 01:22:14.600
reason that that would exacerbate a problem
if the problem's already there, right,

1116
01:22:15.079 --> 01:22:20.079
Yeah, especially if families involved,
and you know, if your family is

1117
01:22:20.159 --> 01:22:30.039
compassionate or not, so, you
know, I would suggest that if obviously

1118
01:22:30.159 --> 01:22:33.800
we're you know, we're already nearing
New Year's Eve. But I would suggest

1119
01:22:33.920 --> 01:22:38.319
if you are in a relationship that's
not working, that you would have tried

1120
01:22:38.359 --> 01:22:42.600
to figure it out prior to the
holidays. And some people just don't want

1121
01:22:42.640 --> 01:22:44.840
to be alone, and they'll just
say, Okay, well I'm just going

1122
01:22:44.920 --> 01:22:47.359
to be with them through the holidays
and then we'll break up, which I

1123
01:22:47.399 --> 01:22:51.960
don't think is a really smart thing
to do, because I do think it's

1124
01:22:53.000 --> 01:22:56.520
a lot you get as lonelier to
be with somebody who don't want to be

1125
01:22:56.680 --> 01:23:00.640
with. Sure. Sure, in
any relationship, right, Tony, it

1126
01:23:00.680 --> 01:23:06.199
doesn't matter whether you're it's romance or
otherwise. I've got a theory, and

1127
01:23:06.279 --> 01:23:11.560
it's not my theory, it was
It's a theory that's widely widely known out

1128
01:23:11.600 --> 01:23:14.560
there. It's who do you let
in your room? Right? And there

1129
01:23:14.640 --> 01:23:16.960
should be a finite people that you
let in your quote unquote life. But

1130
01:23:17.039 --> 01:23:23.680
it's your room, and if it's
somebody that makes your life less enjoyable than

1131
01:23:23.960 --> 01:23:28.119
what it should be, don't let
them in. It's it's not rocket science,

1132
01:23:28.199 --> 01:23:31.840
is it. Those are just simple
boundaries. But you know, sometimes

1133
01:23:31.880 --> 01:23:38.399
people have to just learn. I
mean, the best way to navigate life

1134
01:23:38.520 --> 01:23:44.439
is through life experience, and when
the lessons happen that you've learned those lessons

1135
01:23:44.560 --> 01:23:46.439
and you don't let them happen again. It's kind of like when a woman

1136
01:23:46.520 --> 01:23:50.319
dates the same guy over and over
and over again. He just looks different,

1137
01:23:50.760 --> 01:23:55.920
but the same experience keeps happening and
it doesn't work. It's like the

1138
01:23:56.079 --> 01:24:00.479
universe is funny like that, they'll
keep sending you that guy until you realize,

1139
01:24:00.520 --> 01:24:04.119
okay, this is not for me. Or the same thing with the

1140
01:24:04.199 --> 01:24:09.199
guy with a woman who and you
know, women don't really understand that men

1141
01:24:09.279 --> 01:24:15.520
are very sensitive and that they want
love is just as much that they as

1142
01:24:15.600 --> 01:24:20.359
they do. So it is interesting
to be in this world and to hear

1143
01:24:20.560 --> 01:24:27.640
so many people's thoughts and belief because
I always try to give people hope.

1144
01:24:28.079 --> 01:24:30.319
At the end of the day,
I want to give people hope that if

1145
01:24:30.359 --> 01:24:33.920
you want to be in love,
you will. You will eventually find love.

1146
01:24:34.039 --> 01:24:36.720
It might not be in the day
and time exactly when you want it,

1147
01:24:38.279 --> 01:24:41.079
but you can't let that deter you, because maybe there are things that

1148
01:24:41.199 --> 01:24:45.560
you need to learn while you're alone. But for the I've been an attaker

1149
01:24:45.600 --> 01:24:49.439
for twelve years, and I worked
with singles for three years prior, and

1150
01:24:49.560 --> 01:24:54.399
I will say that I have constantly, over and over and over and over

1151
01:24:54.399 --> 01:24:58.560
again, seen people, even the
most hopeless, fall in love. And

1152
01:24:58.680 --> 01:25:01.000
you have to be ready for it
when had comes. You can't just say,

1153
01:25:01.119 --> 01:25:04.079
oops, well I wasn't ready for
that, because you might be waiting

1154
01:25:04.119 --> 01:25:06.680
a little bit while longer for it
to tap me on the shoulder again.

1155
01:25:06.760 --> 01:25:14.079
You got to be right or it
just surprises you. One of my favorite

1156
01:25:14.119 --> 01:25:20.199
matches in my life was he It
was his seventh match and he did it.

1157
01:25:20.319 --> 01:25:24.840
He was really falling apart. He
was having a very difficult time and

1158
01:25:24.960 --> 01:25:28.560
she had had a hard time too
with her past. But I had I

1159
01:25:28.720 --> 01:25:30.800
just knew that they were going to
be for each other. And it took

1160
01:25:30.880 --> 01:25:34.159
me four and a half weeks to
get him to meet her. It was

1161
01:25:34.359 --> 01:25:39.319
me literally like three times a week
calling him and just saying you have to

1162
01:25:39.359 --> 01:25:42.800
meet her, until I finally was
like, I'm not even choking here.

1163
01:25:42.880 --> 01:25:45.560
This is like I know for a
fact that this is your girl. And

1164
01:25:45.840 --> 01:25:49.920
they fell in love and they got
married six months later. They've been together

1165
01:25:50.039 --> 01:25:57.199
over five years and they are completely
different people, so happy because I don't

1166
01:25:57.199 --> 01:26:01.640
think they had ever had love in
the way that they have with each other,

1167
01:26:02.560 --> 01:26:06.439
and so through that they healed each
other. So, like I said,

1168
01:26:06.479 --> 01:26:10.880
it's hard to it's hard to categorize
and put everything in a in a

1169
01:26:10.960 --> 01:26:15.640
one size to sell a box when
it comes to advice or experience because it's

1170
01:26:15.720 --> 01:26:20.760
different for everybody. That should that
story alone, Tony should give a lot

1171
01:26:20.760 --> 01:26:25.800
of people to encourage me. Well. I have so many hopeful stories,

1172
01:26:26.239 --> 01:26:30.119
so many hopeful and I'm a very
boutique matchmaker. I do work by invitation

1173
01:26:30.319 --> 01:26:38.159
only because I want to make matches
and I'm not a salesperson. But even

1174
01:26:38.239 --> 01:26:40.880
the people that I've worked with them
were not my matches. I have seen

1175
01:26:40.960 --> 01:26:44.279
them go through the whole experience with
me and then they've fallen in love after.

1176
01:26:45.039 --> 01:26:46.800
And I mean almost ninety percent of
the people I've worked with over the

1177
01:26:46.880 --> 01:26:50.640
years, they've all found their person. And I work with a lot younger

1178
01:26:50.760 --> 01:26:55.199
clientele. You know, a lot
of my clients are late twenties to mid

1179
01:26:55.279 --> 01:26:58.600
thirties, right, I mean,
people working very difficult to meet each other.

1180
01:26:58.800 --> 01:27:01.960
They have their problems. The apps, the dating apps are the big,

1181
01:27:02.199 --> 01:27:06.399
big, big problem. And then
you bring into the last several years

1182
01:27:06.479 --> 01:27:13.960
of the polarization between politics and people's
beliefs on what's going on in the world

01:30:30.000 --> 01:30:31.159

that was ken Brew? I think that

1230
01:30:31.359 --> 01:30:36.039
was his introductory news conference. Well
they lost like fifteen to sixteen games.

1231
01:30:36.960 --> 01:30:42.000
Yeah, I think anybody's cat now
yeah they yeah, except their own.

1232
01:30:42.279 --> 01:30:45.319
But I liked that team. I
do. Yeah, amen, But I

01:31:02.520 --> 01:31:04.840
a very good year. You know. And what can they do? They

1239
01:31:04.920 --> 01:31:10.439

Cleveland Browns have a few injury concerns

1255
01:32:23.800 --> 01:32:29.600
now Ken Brew Dustin Hopkins sitting out, so they have let's see it in

1256
01:32:29.760 --> 01:32:34.359
Rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson. Robinson has
been placed on season ending injury reserve with

1257
01:32:34.439 --> 01:32:40.079
a hip injury, so they're going
to bring in. With Hopkins out for

1258
01:32:40.119 --> 01:32:45.640
at least a week with a hamstring, Riley Patterson is going to come up

1259
01:32:45.680 --> 01:32:50.000
with the practice squad and p J. Walker, quarterback is going to come

1260
01:32:50.079 --> 01:32:55.000
back off the practice squad to the
active roster. He started some games from

1261
01:32:55.039 --> 01:32:58.880
this year. I don't know,
no, he started some games. Red's

1262
01:32:58.960 --> 01:33:04.000
have a new player, oh alfielder
Connor Cappell sister, a brother of Marcia

1263
01:33:04.119 --> 01:33:09.520
who works here a minor league contract
with an invite to spring training. Are

1264
01:33:09.560 --> 01:33:13.560
you serious, mister capell like previously
played with the Cardinals and a's are you

1265
01:33:13.680 --> 01:33:16.319
serious about Marcia captain? Now I
just throw that in. I've known Marsha

1266
01:33:16.439 --> 01:33:19.760
for like forty years. Yeah,
well maybe it's a maybe. I think

1267
01:33:19.800 --> 01:33:25.920
it's her second cousin. Free Tickets
played well, Yeah, played forty five

1268
01:33:26.039 --> 01:33:30.000
games with Oakland over the last two
years. Left handed batter mostly played centerfield

1269
01:33:30.039 --> 01:33:33.600
and the minors, so they had
a little depth I guess to the outfield.

1270
01:33:33.680 --> 01:33:36.800
Ken Brew, well, good for
them. Also tonight in the NBA.

1271
01:33:36.960 --> 01:33:44.000
We don't talk about them enough Tonight. Tonight's NBA action headlined by the

1272
01:33:44.119 --> 01:33:49.680
Detroit Pistons speaking of the of Motown. Looking to avoid some dubious history,

1273
01:33:50.880 --> 01:33:55.680
the Pistons will be out to snap
that twenty six game losing streak when they

1274
01:33:55.760 --> 01:34:00.520
host the Brooklyn Nets. A twenty
seven straight loss would break the NBA record

1275
01:34:00.560 --> 01:34:04.239
for the longest single season losing streak. They have tied the record of the

1276
01:34:04.319 --> 01:34:11.840
twenty ten eleven Cleveland Cavaliers and the
twenty thirteen fourteen seventy six Ers. Seg

1277
01:34:11.880 --> 01:34:14.680
if they were playing that game in
my backyard, you know what I would

1278
01:34:14.720 --> 01:34:18.039
do. You'd be in little Miami
Brewing. I would close the drapes.

1279
01:34:18.560 --> 01:34:25.840
Also, Luca Donzig remember him,
what ye triple double the other night against

1280
01:34:25.840 --> 01:34:29.520
the Spurs? Well, he played
Santa Claus the other day. Yeah,

1281
01:34:29.720 --> 01:34:33.359
each player, coach, support staff
member got an electric bike from Donzig,

1282
01:34:34.199 --> 01:34:39.840
worth over thirty four hundred dollars.
Really, how about that? What electric

1283
01:34:39.920 --> 01:34:43.079
bike? Just because it's Christmas?
He did that? Correct? Well,

1284
01:34:43.399 --> 01:34:47.640
Yeah, that's that's very John.
And your good friend Pat mcpatrick Mahomes gave

1285
01:34:47.680 --> 01:34:53.680
his offensive lineman what golf carts?
I saw that. Yeah, that's great,

1286
01:34:53.720 --> 01:34:55.920
so they could get the hell out
of the stadium after the game.

1287
01:34:57.159 --> 01:35:00.039
They should have wheeled the golf carts
out there to plot for that. I

1288
01:35:00.079 --> 01:35:04.479
don't hear. I never heard what
the Bengals players that gave each other.

1289
01:35:04.560 --> 01:35:08.479
I didn't nearby. That must be
a secret. I don't. I don't

1290
01:35:08.520 --> 01:35:11.039
know who gave to who to what. Well, I know is everybody got

1291
01:35:11.119 --> 01:35:14.760
something. Yeah, they certainly did. Sega. I know exactly where you

1292
01:35:14.920 --> 01:35:20.000
were. I know exactly where you
were forty five years ago. Actually,

1293
01:35:20.159 --> 01:35:26.000
yeah, forty five years ago tonight. Okay, you were sitting at your

1294
01:35:26.079 --> 01:35:30.760
home, Yeah, and you were
dialed into the Cincinnati Stingers at the Birmingham

1295
01:35:30.920 --> 01:35:35.880
Bulls. Was that the famous that
wasn't That wasn't the No, that wasn't

1296
01:35:35.920 --> 01:35:39.600
the massac. That wasn't the massacre. Well, I don't think that was

1297
01:35:39.640 --> 01:35:44.199
it. I think that was Thanksgiving
Night, won't or something against the Birmingham

1298
01:35:44.279 --> 01:35:46.359
Bulls. Yeah that might have been. Was that the one they won six

1299
01:35:46.439 --> 01:35:49.079
to five in overtime? Yeah,
but then they had that big brawl or

1300
01:35:49.159 --> 01:35:56.359
something that Thanksgiving Day night massacre Sasco
Yeah yeah, well but this was okay,

1301
01:35:56.479 --> 01:35:59.760
forty five years ago. Tonight they
were at Birmingham and they lost port

1302
01:35:59.800 --> 01:36:01.199
Its. They were in the middle
of the streak where they had won but

1303
01:36:01.359 --> 01:36:06.039
one game at eleven tries. And
then came back two nights later and played

1304
01:36:06.079 --> 01:36:11.319
the Bulls at us Bank Arena and
lost six to five, which I'm sure

1305
01:36:11.359 --> 01:36:15.079
you were there, yes, but
I didn't miss too many games back then,

1306
01:36:15.159 --> 01:36:17.560
ken Brew, that was the last
year for this thing, either that

1307
01:36:17.760 --> 01:36:21.920
or listening or listening listening on the
radio to end them Mac Well, he

1308
01:36:23.079 --> 01:36:26.359
wasn't doing the games in seventy eight
to seventy nine. Was he moved on

1309
01:36:26.439 --> 01:36:28.479
to the NHL? Well, that's
true, Yeah, you're right. I

1310
01:36:28.560 --> 01:36:30.479
think he went to the Blackhawks then. Yeah, they had a big you

1311
01:36:30.520 --> 01:36:33.199
know what probably listening to Well,
well, I don't know, was that

1312
01:36:33.600 --> 01:36:39.720
John Robin or what's a guy's name
that's now in Chicago. Oh, the

1313
01:36:40.079 --> 01:36:42.920
guy that used to be the PA
announcer. Yeah, I don't know,

1314
01:36:43.079 --> 01:36:46.119
or no, John Walton's with the
capitals. He used to be the PA

1315
01:36:46.319 --> 01:36:53.239
man for the Reds only Yeah,
and then I can't remember the guy that's

1316
01:36:53.319 --> 01:36:56.800
uh the voice of the Blackhawks.
I think he did the I think he

1317
01:36:56.960 --> 01:36:59.760
was the Cyclones man, I'm not
sure who did the I don't know.

1318
01:37:00.319 --> 01:37:01.279
Back then, they come and they
go. You know, yeah, that's

1319
01:37:01.319 --> 01:37:03.600
true, guys, they're just coming, they go, that's for sure.

1320
01:37:03.800 --> 01:37:08.520
They played Czechoslovakia that year too,
Like right after the New Year, they

1321
01:37:08.560 --> 01:37:12.279
played check and they lost that game. What about Terry Fickearelli the Fictionary?

1322
01:37:12.439 --> 01:37:15.239
Remember him? I remember. I
don't know if he's working in hockey.

1323
01:37:15.039 --> 01:37:18.800
Very good, the Fictionary. The
syc Clones made the playoffs that year.

1324
01:37:18.880 --> 01:37:24.680
Say they played the Whalers and they
lost the best of three in three games?

1325
01:37:24.800 --> 01:37:28.279
Was that you think that was with
Pie mackenzie and Gordie how and his

1326
01:37:28.399 --> 01:37:30.880
son. You know they were in
Houston. I don't know where they were

1327
01:37:30.960 --> 01:37:32.680
because in that league they were moving
all over the pus. You got that

1328
01:37:32.840 --> 01:37:36.039
right? Well? I know is
they played a team called the Birmingham Bulls

1329
01:37:36.079 --> 01:37:40.319
a lot that year. Yeah,
that's true. You know it was their

1330
01:37:40.319 --> 01:37:45.640
first p announcer and US Bank Arena
or was that right? Yeah? River

1331
01:37:45.720 --> 01:37:49.279
French Collie and no Kidd and I
and I would get the game notes and

1332
01:37:49.359 --> 01:37:54.560
I would say, here come the
stairs when they came on the ice.

1333
01:37:54.680 --> 01:37:58.479
Well, the first opening night,
first game ever at the US Bank or

1334
01:37:58.520 --> 01:38:01.039
what the hell it was called back
there, Friend Coliseum, Heritage Front or

1335
01:38:01.079 --> 01:38:05.960
whatever it was called. First game, they gave me a list of fifty

1336
01:38:06.079 --> 01:38:11.640
groups to welcome, and they told
me you cannot begin welcoming these groups until

1337
01:38:11.680 --> 01:38:15.279
the teams hit the ice. So
the teams hit the ice. I think

1338
01:38:15.319 --> 01:38:17.720
they were playing Indianapolis or Edmond,
tim I forget who they were playing.

1339
01:38:17.760 --> 01:38:23.680
But they take the ice and I
okay, now I got to read these

1340
01:38:23.840 --> 01:38:28.159
names. And when they take the
ice, it's like within two minutes,

1341
01:38:28.199 --> 01:38:30.920
they want to have the national anthem, and I'm reading these names of it.

1342
01:38:30.159 --> 01:38:34.520
We want to welcome the you know, the little squirts from Dell High,

1343
01:38:34.600 --> 01:38:39.279
and we want to welcome you know, the skating side clothes. Go

1344
01:38:39.479 --> 01:38:42.800
to all these names, fifty names, and I get about halfway through it,

1345
01:38:43.239 --> 01:38:45.359
and the referee for the first night
was a guy named Bill Friday.

1346
01:38:45.399 --> 01:38:51.239
I'll never forget Yes Bill, yesday, and then yes Hey. He comes

1347
01:38:51.359 --> 01:38:56.279
over to me to where the where
I'm doing the PA my first night on

1348
01:38:56.359 --> 01:39:00.199
the gain my seat and he sticks
his mouth right up to that opening where

1349
01:39:00.199 --> 01:39:01.640
they can talk through the past.
Yeah, he looks, he looks at

1350
01:39:01.680 --> 01:39:06.239
me. He says Hey, slick, this ain't Toledo, Ohio. Shut

1351
01:39:06.359 --> 01:39:11.800
up, we gotta go. Yeah, and now our national anthem, Yes,

1352
01:39:12.640 --> 01:39:15.359
how about that, ken bro And
and then I forget who the pr

1353
01:39:15.439 --> 01:39:18.399
guy is. He's called down yelling
at me because I didn't finish the names

1354
01:39:18.399 --> 01:39:20.920
I said. Think the referee just
said I had to shut up and start

1355
01:39:20.960 --> 01:39:26.439
the game. You could down here
and talk to this guy. What a

1356
01:39:26.520 --> 01:39:30.319
league, ken Brew. One of
the many stories I have from my very

1357
01:39:30.000 --> 01:39:35.239
very brief time as the Cincinnatists.
And while you get yelled at by Bill

1358
01:39:35.359 --> 01:39:40.920
Friday, that was like getting thrown
out by uh, let's see what probably

1359
01:39:41.159 --> 01:39:44.520
a famous umpire or something. Well, it was like it wasn't like wow,

1360
01:39:44.600 --> 01:39:47.000
six years five years before then,
as I was yelling stuff at Friday

1361
01:39:47.079 --> 01:39:51.720
for the stay that's right, that's
right, that's true. You're right,

1362
01:39:51.800 --> 01:39:55.560
he was, he was. I
think he's in the Hockey Hall of Fame,

1363
01:39:55.640 --> 01:39:58.560
isn't he I should be? I
think yeah, But I think he's.

1364
01:39:58.680 --> 01:40:00.159
I think he is. I think
he's an All of Fame. That's

1365
01:40:00.199 --> 01:40:04.119
when they had coach named Terry Slater
number Terry oh yeah yeah, but he

1366
01:40:04.479 --> 01:40:08.840
gets out on the some call goes
awry and he decides he's going to go

1367
01:40:08.960 --> 01:40:13.560
after the official after the game,
and he winds up pushing this guy I

1368
01:40:13.600 --> 01:40:17.079
don't know who it was, and
became a big stink and kind of like

1369
01:40:17.199 --> 01:40:24.479
Matt Miyoska of the FC Cincinnati right
exactly kind of. And and so Terry

1370
01:40:24.600 --> 01:40:29.079
Slater you always find him in the
Stingers locker room after the game drinking a

1371
01:40:29.159 --> 01:40:30.840
can of beer. And the beer
was Schlitz. That's what he wanted to

1372
01:40:30.880 --> 01:40:35.800
drink, was Slitz. So I
was I was Aterfic also radio report at

1373
01:40:35.840 --> 01:40:40.319
the time. So I went in
and I'm interviewing Slater and I said,

1374
01:40:41.000 --> 01:40:43.239
Terry, can tell me what happened. And he looks at me and he

1375
01:40:43.640 --> 01:40:45.760
takes a swig of beer. He
goes, I tripped on a beer can

1376
01:40:45.920 --> 01:40:49.439
on the ice, and I happen
to run into the official and I and

1377
01:40:49.520 --> 01:40:53.640
then he takes another drink, and
I'm bringing the microphone back, and I

1378
01:40:53.680 --> 01:40:55.600
says, well, it was it
a can of Schlitz, and I put

1379
01:40:55.640 --> 01:40:57.840
it in front of his face and
he looked at me. I swore to

1380
01:40:57.920 --> 01:41:00.920
god, I've got a summer.
I think he burked nice. How about

1381
01:41:01.000 --> 01:41:04.279
look at you? Ken Brew?
All these stories, oh, absolutely,

1382
01:41:04.359 --> 01:41:09.560
how about that? Yeah, Hey
slick, Hey slick, Hey slick,

1383
01:41:09.760 --> 01:41:14.119
let's go it. Hey slick,
this ain't Toledo ile. Shut up,

1384
01:41:15.520 --> 01:41:18.760
ladies and gentlemen, our national anthem, go right ahead, Thank you,

1385
01:41:18.880 --> 01:41:25.239
everybody, please stand, please stand
and hold your hand over your heart.

1386
01:41:25.560 --> 01:41:30.079
Right all this stuff down. I
mean, that's hilarious. You get older

1387
01:41:30.159 --> 01:41:35.279
and you start for getting slick,
this isn't Toledo a ile. Nice you

1388
01:41:35.359 --> 01:41:39.199
get you know what? You know
what ken Brew, at least you got

1389
01:41:39.319 --> 01:41:43.439
yelled at by the best of them. Well he was. He was one

1390
01:41:43.439 --> 01:41:46.279
of the He was one of the
best referees that probably they the w A

1391
01:41:46.399 --> 01:41:50.079
J had. It wasn't it won't
be the last time. And it wasn't

1392
01:41:50.119 --> 01:41:53.680
the last time. That the best
than anything yelled at. I've been yelled

1393
01:41:53.720 --> 01:41:58.119
at a lot. I've learned to
take this stuff. Anyway. Did anybody

1394
01:41:58.199 --> 01:42:00.479
say, hey, slick, this
isn't Toledo pile. Let's go No.

1395
01:42:02.000 --> 01:42:04.720
Well, I told you the turkey
story, that turkey story. I told

1396
01:42:04.720 --> 01:42:08.840
you that people were yelling at me. When you know, they let these

1397
01:42:08.920 --> 01:42:12.199
turkeys loose on the ice, and
there these turkeys are crapping all over the

1398
01:42:12.239 --> 01:42:15.239
place on the ice. The game's
over. There was their turkey giveaway.

1399
01:42:15.279 --> 01:42:17.800
Everybody got a most people got a
frozen turkey. But twelve people will get

1400
01:42:17.800 --> 01:42:20.399
down on the ice with a sack
and could bag a live turkey. And

1401
01:42:20.479 --> 01:42:24.039
then I don't I take it somewhere
to have it. I mean it totally.

1402
01:42:24.119 --> 01:42:27.680
I mean Peter would have had their
veins would have exploded in their head.

1403
01:42:27.680 --> 01:42:30.600
I based all this, and they
lose. They let there's these ten

1404
01:42:30.680 --> 01:42:32.520
turkeys on the ice in the corner
of the ice and they're huddling on they're

1405
01:42:32.600 --> 01:42:36.680
crapping, and I'm like, this
can't this can't be possible. This isn't

1406
01:42:36.760 --> 01:42:40.600
happening here. But I mean that, I give them credit. They tried

1407
01:42:40.720 --> 01:42:44.800
everything everything to make Cocky go in
this town. That's for sure. They

1408
01:42:44.920 --> 01:42:48.000
certainly did anything else. Say it
comes and it goes. Amen to that,

1409
01:42:48.199 --> 01:42:51.159
ken Brew, Amen to that anyway, seg I'm done. What do

1410
01:42:51.239 --> 01:42:55.640
we got here? We want to
extrapolate about anything else? I don't think

1411
01:42:55.680 --> 01:42:58.279
we got anything else. Can Brew, all right, we'll get us get

1412
01:42:58.359 --> 01:43:00.000
us out of the Stewge report,
if you will. Ken Brew and Hounter

1413
01:43:00.079 --> 01:43:05.680
of the Bengals getting ready to face
those chiefs and Yoko swift Oh. On

1414
01:43:05.920 --> 01:43:13.119
Sunday, we leave you with the
immortal words of the stood before first and

1415
01:43:13.199 --> 01:43:16.319
ten Bengals from their own twenty their
first play at the third quarter offensively to

1416
01:43:16.760 --> 01:43:23.079
the T Higgins spreading to the fifty's
forty. He's running away for the past.

1417
01:43:23.399 --> 01:43:29.239
He's gonna take at the distance on
eighty yard touchdown for T Higgins,

1418
01:43:29.479 --> 01:43:34.000
who finger rolls it over the crossbar
after taking it to the house for an

1419
01:43:34.079 --> 01:43:40.079
eighty r TD. Tell he's something
Dan Hoyden's best, played by play announcer

1420
01:43:40.239 --> 01:43:44.279
Amen to that he is the best. Yes, but you know what say,

1421
01:43:44.479 --> 01:43:46.359
I think T Higgins is out of
here after this year. Now they

1422
01:43:46.399 --> 01:43:49.800
needed more, They needed a few
more of T Higgins On Saturday, Ken

1423
01:43:49.880 --> 01:43:54.079
Brew to do anything. But we'll
see what happens, that's the fact,

1424
01:43:54.159 --> 01:43:56.199
Jack. But I think I think
he's out of here after this year.

1425
01:43:56.239 --> 01:43:59.239
Man, We'll see what happened.
Yeah, well, I mean, Jamar,

1426
01:43:59.319 --> 01:44:01.359
you got you gotta paid you borrow. They gotta pay a lot of

1427
01:44:01.399 --> 01:44:03.319
guys. Not to pay a lot
a lot of guys. It could be

1428
01:44:04.239 --> 01:44:08.800
no doubt about that. Windows closed
and the cast of characters will be vastly

1429
01:44:08.880 --> 01:44:12.079
different, Yes, sir, all
right, seg I gotta go, all

1430
01:44:12.159 --> 01:44:14.000
right, ken bro who's in next? By the way, do you know?

1431
01:44:14.359 --> 01:44:17.479
I think it's Dan Carroll and the
illustrious One, the Pride of Marshall

1432
01:44:17.600 --> 01:44:23.279
University, the one and only Jason
Williams. He was in their marching band.

1433
01:44:23.319 --> 01:44:25.079
Did you know that? I know? I know? How about that?

1434
01:44:25.600 --> 01:44:27.600
Have you seen his tuba? I
had the big plue. I know

1435
01:44:27.920 --> 01:44:31.760
blu Is on the tuba played played
second tuba in the Marshall Marshall and nobody

1436
01:44:31.840 --> 01:44:35.039
knows that. I know now they
do. Do you know the Marshall flight

1437
01:44:35.119 --> 01:44:40.560
song? No, It begins with
the words please don't schedule, Ohio you

1438
01:44:42.119 --> 01:44:46.119
I'll see you say yeah. So
coming up on two fifty two, that

1439
01:44:46.319 --> 01:44:51.560
is true. Jason Williams and Dan
Carroll are next, and that will get

1440
01:44:51.640 --> 01:44:55.680
more into what they're talking about.
Hopefully we can figure that out. Hopefully

1441
01:44:55.720 --> 01:45:00.560
they can figure it out before three
o'clock seven hundred w welw or he just

1442
01:45:00.680 --> 01:45:03.840
keeps doing it to himself. I'm
not sure which is true. Remember Musk

1443
01:45:03.920 --> 01:45:08.640
back in April he wanted to come
up with He came up with this idea

1444
01:45:08.720 --> 01:45:14.720
of putting a computer chip aided weight
loss thing of a jig inside your body.

1445
01:45:15.079 --> 01:45:17.039
In other words, you get this
chip, you put it inside your

1446
01:45:17.039 --> 01:45:23.159
body's going to help you lose weight
because, let's face it, obesie is

1447
01:45:23.199 --> 01:45:27.199
a major problem in this country.
So must thought this would be a good

1448
01:45:27.239 --> 01:45:32.920
idea. And in fact, it
has helped people with paralysis regain partial control

1449
01:45:33.000 --> 01:45:42.039
of their limbs, could even translate
neural impulses. But it requires brain surgery.

1450
01:45:42.079 --> 01:45:45.039
They literally draw a hole in a
patient's skull and plant the device.

1451
01:45:45.680 --> 01:45:47.359
And so a lot of people didn't
think that was a good idea. Besides,

1452
01:45:47.399 --> 01:45:54.399
since the federal government by and large
is in the tank for big farm,

1453
01:45:54.840 --> 01:46:00.000
it was a drug that was approved
rather than Elon's idea. Eli Lilly's

1454
01:46:00.039 --> 01:46:03.800
drug, zep Bound was approved last
month for weight loss. But you know,

1455
01:46:03.880 --> 01:46:06.159
and then you looked at that and
you said, well, is Elon

1456
01:46:06.279 --> 01:46:10.880
musk on to something or is he
on something? And then they had to

1457
01:46:10.960 --> 01:46:15.039
recall the Tesla cars. Remember that
they had a recall of Tesla, Well,

1458
01:46:15.079 --> 01:46:18.159
it was over the air. Network
television made a big deal about it.

1459
01:46:18.479 --> 01:46:21.680
Teslas aren't safe, they could be
driving into each other. And then

1460
01:46:21.720 --> 01:46:27.039
Obama made the movie where Tesla's are
driving into each other. It seemed to

1461
01:46:27.079 --> 01:46:30.880
me that they were out to get
Elon Musk right, and they may still

1462
01:46:30.960 --> 01:46:35.960
be. But now there's this.
A Tesla engineer was attacked by a robot

1463
01:46:38.279 --> 01:46:43.239
during a bloody malfunction. It says
here at the company's Giga Texas factory.

1464
01:46:43.279 --> 01:46:47.760
It's a factory near Austin. Two
witnesses, they say, watched in horror

1465
01:46:47.920 --> 01:46:53.079
as their fellow employee was attacked by
the machine designed to grab and move freshly

1466
01:46:53.239 --> 01:47:00.159
cast aluminum car parts. The robot
had pinned the man. The worker is

1467
01:47:00.199 --> 01:47:03.960
then programming at that point software for
two disabled Tesla robots nearby. Perhaps the

1468
01:47:04.079 --> 01:47:10.880
robots struck back before this robot that
was working sunk its metal claws into his

1469
01:47:11.119 --> 01:47:16.680
back, leaving a quote unquote trail
of blood along the factory's surface. So

1470
01:47:16.840 --> 01:47:23.640
apparently a lot of people are getting
attacked by Elon Musk gizmo's. And maybe

1471
01:47:23.680 --> 01:47:26.399
it's not a good idea to drill
