Speaker 1: All right, welcome in seven hundred Wylw. I am the
Speaker 1: average American and for the great American on this Wednesday.
Speaker 1: It is great to have you with us as always, because,
Speaker 1: as I like to say, without you, I will be
Speaker 1: simply one man sitting in a room babbling to himself incoherently.
Speaker 1: And why would I have to leave my home to
Speaker 1: do that. I'm in here today because it just seems
Speaker 1: like people don't learn lessons. People don't seem to be
Speaker 1: appreciative of history anymore. You know, history is a great
Speaker 1: teacher if you pay attention to it, but it seems
Speaker 1: so much so more that people simply don't want to
Speaker 1: pay attention to it. We live in a what's happening
Speaker 1: now world, and what's happening now in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: It would seem like to me, at least, that there
Speaker 1: are a lot of people that didn't learn anything from history,
Speaker 1: even recent history, the history that perhaps was given to
Speaker 1: us on election night in November. If you'll recall, leading
Speaker 1: up to that election, all you heard from Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: You didn't hear a lot from Joe Biden leading up
Speaker 1: to the election. In fact, you didn't hear a lot
Speaker 1: from Joe Biden in the four years he was in
Speaker 1: the White House. But leading up to that election, from
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, all you heard from her was Trump Trump, Trump, trump, trump, Trump, Trump,
Speaker 1: bad Trump bad Orange Man bad Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump.
Speaker 1: And it struck absolutely zero cords with the ideologues on
Speaker 1: the left shore. They hate everything about the right. But
Speaker 1: to the people, the common people, the people like you
Speaker 1: and me that just walk around, we just want a
Speaker 1: better live for ourselves. We don't we really don't get
Speaker 1: immersed in the intricacies of what goes on the sausage making,
Speaker 1: if you will, that keeps this country percolating. We just
Speaker 1: wanted a better live for ourselves and for our kids.
Speaker 1: That's all. We don't want anything else. We want to
Speaker 1: be able to conduct our business without having the government
Speaker 1: breathing down our neck. But we heard Trump, Trump, Trump,
Speaker 1: Trump Trump, and of course we all know what happened
Speaker 1: to come Mala Harris on election night, another in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. Right now trying to get Trump's cabinet nominees confirmed,
Speaker 1: and just in the last hour we had Tulcy Gabbard
Speaker 1: confirmed as the DNI Secretary National Intelligence. Mitch McConnell never disappoints.
Speaker 1: He voted against her. Mitch's just with each passing day,
Speaker 1: seems to be nothing more than a bitter old man.
Speaker 1: But nevertheless he voted no. RFK Junior's vote is later
Speaker 1: today and then we'll get cash fattel with the FBI.
Speaker 1: And I don't know how many more that are left,
Speaker 1: but the big Swingers are just about done here. But
Speaker 1: now they've moved into the Doge portion of the program,
Speaker 1: and the Doge subcommittee today held hearings. They were televised,
Speaker 1: and all we heard from the Democrats was musk must MUCKs,
Speaker 1: must musk, musk, musk, mus muck. Nothing about government ways,
Speaker 1: which UI and every other common thinking person knows has
Speaker 1: existed in Washington, d C. For way too long, way
Speaker 1: too long. But why does it seem like the Dems
Speaker 1: are so vehement, so angry, so opposed to anybody doing
Speaker 1: a deep dive into where your tax dollars are going.
Speaker 1: You know, if you're running a business and in that
Speaker 1: business is in debt, deeply in debt, but you have
Speaker 1: good cash flow. Now you're selling products. In this case
Speaker 1: where that company our cash flow is our tax dollars,
Speaker 1: tax dollars on half of us only pay taxes, but
Speaker 1: there's tax dollars flowing into Washington. Washington is deeply in debt.
Speaker 1: We know this. It's thirty six trillion dollars and counting
Speaker 1: with each passing second. So why would you not want
Speaker 1: to do a deep dive into why we're so deeply
Speaker 1: in debt? Why are we so vehement it seems like
Speaker 1: on the left from protecting us AID from having an audit.
Speaker 1: First thing you do if you take over a company
Speaker 1: that is bleeding but still has pretty good cash flow,
Speaker 1: is you do a deep dive audit. It's just good
Speaker 1: practical business. Why is there so much resistance to that
Speaker 1: in Washington? Where is this money going, who's getting it?
Speaker 1: And is there any money flowing back to the people
Speaker 1: that are sent to Washington by you and me? I'm
Speaker 1: just asking why else would you be so vehement about it?
Speaker 1: Why else would you have the protest you've seen. Why
Speaker 1: did we see Maxine Water spitting on a poor security guard.
Speaker 1: I mean she was foaming at the mouth at this
Speaker 1: guy outside the Department of Education last week? Othernant that
Speaker 1: raise your antenna a little bit to say what's going
Speaker 1: on here? Did mine That's why I got to get
Speaker 1: my guy on right now. There's no sounder mind when
Speaker 1: it comes to politics. Nobody that understands how the sausage
Speaker 1: is made, Nobody who knows what this country can be
Speaker 1: if we just get to the truth. And of course
Speaker 1: that's my guy, the winsome guy, the winsome way. He
Speaker 1: was once a winsome candidate five times over, and now
Speaker 1: he spends his afternoons speaking to me here occasionally on
Speaker 1: seven hundred w WELW. It's my buddy, Dan Snell. Dan,
Speaker 1: how are you in this glorious day?
Speaker 2: I am Dandy Kim Drew. Great to be with you
Speaker 2: and WLW listeners. Hey, you say you're an average American, noser,
Speaker 2: I am pronouncing now you are an all American and winsome,
Speaker 2: winsome American for sure. Don't let your listeners think your average.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Dan, I think you are. You know
Speaker 1: you're level headed. You are a guy that understands that
Speaker 1: nothing gets done by the extremes right or left in
Speaker 1: this country. It never happens, it never will. They become
Speaker 1: an essence fringe, and that the real business of operating
Speaker 1: this country is conducted. If it were a football field
Speaker 1: in between the forty yard lines. Now, somebody would say,
Speaker 1: a cynic might say, well, you're talking about the deep state. No,
Speaker 1: you're talking about national thinking people. But I see less
Speaker 1: and less of it now, And I'm very disappointed in
Speaker 1: the Democrats who are now looking at Elon Musk and
Speaker 1: in some cases calling him a modern day Hitler. What
Speaker 1: all he's really doing is looking to see where government
Speaker 1: waste is, and invariably it comes from programs that were started, funded,
Speaker 1: and fostered by Democrats like usaid. I don't understand why
Speaker 1: they're behaving the way they are, do you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really sad for America because you have fifteen
Speaker 2: percent on the left and probably ten to fifteen percent
Speaker 2: on the right that everything gets spun up and dramatic
Speaker 2: for the narrative. Let's just remember that where it's all
Speaker 2: about the narrative for both sides and the seventy percent
Speaker 2: of the Americans in the middle who just want to
Speaker 2: make this place we call home better. And exactly what
Speaker 2: you said, let's take a look at this broken organization,
Speaker 2: the United States of America, and see how we're spending
Speaker 2: our money. I thought yesterday, Elon Muska, I thought he
Speaker 2: hit a home run in his White House Oval office interview,
Speaker 2: especially bringing his little son.
Speaker 3: You know, the hearts of America melted.
Speaker 4: Over that little boy.
Speaker 2: And I thought he handled himself pretty well, and I
Speaker 2: was very impressed.
Speaker 3: It's just sad.
Speaker 2: That the left, you know, they cried about the children
Speaker 2: and starving people and foreign countries were.
Speaker 3: Abandoning and the right they do pick out. Even my
Speaker 3: dog's excited about it. You can hear that in the background.
Speaker 2: We pick out, you know, three or four percent of
Speaker 2: things that are dramatically horrible, and we got to quit
Speaker 2: focusing and we're going to look at Hey, what's the purpose,
Speaker 2: what's our goal. Let's cut to spending and make it
Speaker 2: make more common sense.
Speaker 1: I agree one hundred percent. And I think the problem
Speaker 1: here is that, you know, for this thing to work,
Speaker 1: this thing called America to work, as my dad used
Speaker 1: to say many years ago, the only way something works
Speaker 1: is for everybody's ox to get gourd because you can't
Speaker 1: have one guy over here getting everything and a bunch
Speaker 1: of people over here getting thing. And so I think
Speaker 1: what has to be done is what is at least
Speaker 1: the president is trying to do, and just put some
Speaker 1: eyeballs into what's where's it going? Where is this money going?
Speaker 1: Musk can't. All he can do is advise he's not
Speaker 1: going in there. He's not running budgets or anything. But
Speaker 1: yet you have these ass hats like Maxine Waters just
Speaker 1: running around yelling and screaming, and then you get Chuck
Speaker 1: Schumer running around yelling and screaming, We're gonna win, win, win. Well,
Speaker 1: it's not about you winning, It's about where is our
Speaker 1: money going. You're taking our money. You know, Chuck Schumer,
Speaker 1: the guy has never worked a day in the public
Speaker 1: sector or the private sector. I'm sorry, He's always worked
Speaker 1: in the private in the public sector, and he's worth
Speaker 1: eighty one million dollars. How does that happen? I just
Speaker 1: I don't understand why there is such a fierce defense
Speaker 1: of where this unfettered money has been spent. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying Chuck. Maybe Chuck Schumer made some great real estate deals.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he's sabby with the market. I
Speaker 1: don't know. All I'm saying is there's not a damn
Speaker 1: person in this country, dan As you well know that
Speaker 1: goes to Washington, d C. To represent you, me and
Speaker 1: everyone else. Democrat or Republican that doesn't leave Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: With more money than what they went to Washington, d C. With.
Speaker 1: And I think, yeah, average person like me, I'm saying,
Speaker 1: you take, you're gonna this is tax season. You want
Speaker 1: my taxes, I'll pay my taxes. I'm a loyal American.
Speaker 1: I understand you need this money to make the country go.
Speaker 1: I don't need this money to go and do shows
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan, shows in Ubekistan, or wherever the Stan happens
Speaker 1: to be. I want that money to used for what
Speaker 1: makes my life and my country better. And I think
Speaker 1: that's where the Democrats are fighting on a hill that
Speaker 1: they're going to die on and regret.
Speaker 3: Would you agree, yeah, right now.
Speaker 2: I mean it's almost sad kind of watching some of
Speaker 2: the on the on the Democratic side, some of the
Speaker 2: responses and some of their words, because they're kind of flailing.
Speaker 2: They're trying, they've lost, they've lost a way to try
Speaker 2: to get a messaging out there, and their their narrative
Speaker 2: is just spinning up people and it doesn't look good.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Makan Waters got bless her. She's served a long time,
Speaker 2: but boy, she's been on all the talk shows and
Speaker 2: she does.
Speaker 4: She just gets really upset.
Speaker 2: And when Schumer was trying to chant we won't go
Speaker 2: or whatever it was in front of the office, it
Speaker 2: really was almost embarrassing. So they've got to find themselves
Speaker 2: a leader and a spokesperson that can bring them forward.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm convinced that that Donald Trump must have
Speaker 2: been a John Wayne fan, because he is really, you know, bold.
Speaker 2: It's high noon in Cincinnati, right, and so in forty
Speaker 2: eight hours, we're going to have noon on Saturday in Godza.
Speaker 3: And what is Hama's going to do?
Speaker 2: And I think John Wayne, I think that's why Americans
Speaker 2: like him, because he's kind of a well, there's a
Speaker 2: new Marshall in town, ladies and gentlemen, and I think
Speaker 2: people like that kind of bold John Wayne. Okay, I'm
Speaker 2: going to get the bad guys in this case, the
Speaker 2: very bad spenders for the last forty years. I'm going
Speaker 2: to clear those bad spenders out of town.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, you know what he's got the he got
Speaker 1: a somewhat favorable ruling here in the last twenty minutes
Speaker 1: by a federal judge who says that they can limit
Speaker 1: or prevent funds under certain circumstances. So they're guardrails in there,
Speaker 1: and and honestly, I don't think anybody in their right
Speaker 1: mind thought Trump was going to go in there with
Speaker 1: a sickle and just start slashing this and slashing that,
Speaker 1: because there is, after all, there is a court system,
Speaker 1: and although some would call it law fair, it is
Speaker 1: very much a part of our American system where you
Speaker 1: have a right to challenge decisions in court. And that's
Speaker 1: exactly what I think is going on here. But you
Speaker 1: know you're gonna cut You're gonna cut these jobs. Okay,
Speaker 1: why and why are why are we cutting my job?
Speaker 1: I think there's You certainly have a right if you're
Speaker 1: feel like you're being treated unfairly by somebody to take
Speaker 1: that's somebody to court. Now, you may not succeed, but
Speaker 1: it's certainly your right to take it to court. You
Speaker 1: find a judge, like some of these unions have found,
Speaker 1: and they're all ironically judges that were appointed by Obama,
Speaker 1: Clinton and Biden. But nevertheless they have found judges that
Speaker 1: will at least apply the brakes here. And maybe that's
Speaker 1: the way the system should work. You know, let's apply
Speaker 1: the brakes and see what's going on. While also admitting
Speaker 1: that this country can't keep walking down the road. It's
Speaker 1: walking down My god, Dan, today three percent is where
Speaker 1: inflation hit. Why do we think inflation's at three percent?
Speaker 1: It's a three percent because the government overspend it. They
Speaker 1: overspent money, and so that's all I think that he's
Speaker 1: trying to do. Trump's got to get a lasso around inflation,
Speaker 1: and he can't keep he can't keep seeing this money
Speaker 1: go flying out the door and think, well, inflation is
Speaker 1: going to come down because we're you know, we'll have
Speaker 1: cuts or will a federal take care of it. It
Speaker 1: doesn't work. So I mean again, if you just look
Speaker 1: at these things logically, I think, I think you understand
Speaker 1: why they're happening. But when you get into all this
Speaker 1: rhetoric and all this drama and all this theater, I
Speaker 1: don't think if you're a Democrat, you're fostering your cause
Speaker 1: and it's certainly not making you stronger for the midterms.
Speaker 1: Here in another year, would.
Speaker 2: You agree, Yeah, you know, you nailed it in that.
Speaker 2: I see Donald Trump as having an opportunity to leave
Speaker 2: a mark on history and our country in an epic,
Speaker 2: epic manner, because if he can get and change and
Speaker 2: alter the course of our spending and have an impact
Speaker 2: financially and improve things that are going on in the
Speaker 2: budget process and improve our national debt. He will become
Speaker 2: literally a Ronald Reagan JFK type of president. However, and
Speaker 2: I say this, and you know, I would like to
Speaker 2: balance it. He's got to remember. He also has to
Speaker 2: remember as you started out about history, he has to
Speaker 2: remember that his first term he got in trouble sometimes
Speaker 2: with words and behavior and rhetoric. And if I were him,
Speaker 2: I would now take that stance of I'm going to
Speaker 2: be above this rhetoric, and I would do a national
Speaker 2: address and I would say, folks, here's what we're trying
Speaker 2: to do. I know there's a lot of conversation. There's
Speaker 2: narrative on the left and narrative.
Speaker 3: On the right.
Speaker 2: I just want to I just want to make America
Speaker 2: great again financially, so we don't have these worries. And please, Stanley,
Speaker 2: just ask the American people if Donald Trump would look
Speaker 2: into the camera and ask the American people stick with me,
Speaker 2: because if he does it, if he remains and goes
Speaker 2: in his old rhetoric that in two years we're going
Speaker 2: to be in trouble in the midterms.
Speaker 1: Our guest is Dan Snell, and we're talking about just
Speaker 1: the developments in the last three weeks going on four
Speaker 1: weeks now of Donald Trump and his term. I believe
Speaker 1: this country only operates at its best is if there's
Speaker 1: both sides that are weighing in, both Democrat and Republican.
Speaker 1: And you know, I've already gone over where. I just
Speaker 1: think They'reocrats have been reduced to theater, you know, community
Speaker 1: theater with the way they're behaving. But I do worry
Speaker 1: about them. I don't know who their quote unquote standard
Speaker 1: bearer would be. It's certainly not Kamala Harris. Joe Biden
Speaker 1: certainly didn't fit that bill. And I think there was
Speaker 1: a vacuum that was created, maybe by the cabal that
Speaker 1: ran this country while Biden was in office. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but it's somebody will come forward and become the leader
Speaker 1: of that party. I just don't know who at this point,
Speaker 1: and I think more important, I don't think they know who.
Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the reasons why they
Speaker 1: appear to be in disarray.
Speaker 2: Would you agree, Yeah, bingo, Yeah, you nailed it.
Speaker 3: They really are.
Speaker 2: They're lost right now, and they're a drift. Quite frankly,
Speaker 2: they're a drift at sea. While Donald Trump has got
Speaker 2: his aircraft carrier, the USS Trump going in, pulling in.
Speaker 2: I mean, Donald Trump is you have dany. He's a
Speaker 2: man of action. He's done more in these twenty one
Speaker 2: days than we've seen in the Biden administration. He just
Speaker 2: is a job Wayne. He's coming into town, and it's
Speaker 2: if it was a Cincinnati or Kansas City chief.
Speaker 3: I'm humbled. I'm humbled. I'm humbled, humbled.
Speaker 1: But if I wasn't, did you raise it? I was
Speaker 1: going to do that to you. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I wanted to first address it that were humbled very often.
Speaker 2: But if the hurry up offense you know in the
Speaker 2: basketball is a fast break or a full court press,
Speaker 2: he's after it, and you have to admire that ninety
Speaker 2: plus percent of the things he's doing are outstanding and
Speaker 2: good for America. He can just temper that ten percent
Speaker 2: of words that he throws out there. You know, this
Speaker 2: high noon thing worries me because you never know what
Speaker 2: the other side, what hamas they may try to, they
Speaker 2: may try to, you know, do something. You know, we
Speaker 2: have to temper and measure things like high noon or
Speaker 2: all hell will break loose. I don't know that's good.
Speaker 2: That's a John Wayne kind of thing. But it also
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we sure will. Yeah. Dan snell out in the
Speaker 1: great planes of this country, Kansas City fan, Kansas City
Speaker 1: Chiefs fan. And I wasn't going to raise that, but
Speaker 1: you raised that, Dan, And I'm just going to tell
Speaker 1: you your team looked old and slow on Sunday night.
Speaker 1: I think you might have to on a few more
Speaker 1: few people out there, and maybe starting with your tight end.
Speaker 4: Yah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all. He's all over the news and he's
Speaker 2: got a great PR firm because everywhere you look, is
Speaker 2: he going to retire? Will he retire? What's going to happen?
Speaker 2: So I think he'll come back. My prediction is he'll
Speaker 2: come back. We'll see how good I am in my
Speaker 2: prediction on that.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, played his college ball here in Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: so maybe maybe he will. Who knows. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: nothing better that There's no better motivation than defeat. Once
Speaker 1: you defeated, it's a great motivator to get back on
Speaker 1: your feet again. But we shall see. We'll also see
Speaker 1: here about this whole thing you know. I think once
Speaker 1: everybody kind of calms down and they understand and they
Speaker 1: listen to the folks back home about money and taxes
Speaker 1: and whatnot, I think they'll probably be a little less
Speaker 1: fiery rhetoric here, and I think there'll probably be some
Speaker 1: sort of, if not compromised and understanding that Look, if
Speaker 1: we don't get our arms around this thing right now,
Speaker 1: it's going to explode. And I think people have had enough.
Speaker 1: But we never get enough of VA, never get enough
Speaker 1: of you, Dan Snell. The Winsome Way. That's his book.
Speaker 1: You can find it wherever great books are sold. Then
Speaker 1: the Winsome Candidate came out, and there's got to be
Speaker 1: another Winsome something coming out next from Dan Snell. But
Speaker 1: whatever it is, I'll make sure to get you on
Speaker 1: the air and we'll talk about it.
Speaker 3: Then.
Speaker 2: Fantastic, great to be with you always again, Love Cincinnati
Speaker 2: and love WLW.
Speaker 3: You stay winsome out there.
Speaker 1: I will thank you Dan Dan Snell. That guy knows
Speaker 1: more about stuff and can explain it in a very
Speaker 1: solid and insightful way than anybody I know. It's coming
Speaker 1: up on twelve twenty six News Radio seven hundred w
Speaker 1: WELW twelve thirty nine News Radio seven w WELW. It's
Speaker 1: the average American and for the great American on this Wednesday, Man,
Speaker 1: am I sick of this this winter stuff? I am
Speaker 1: over this weather. So what's going on in Washington is
Speaker 1: a bunch of lawfair right now. And lawfare is not
Speaker 1: necessarily that one party doesn't like the other party. So
Speaker 1: they're going to sue, and that's going to be the
Speaker 1: reason why they're going to get what they want. That
Speaker 1: never first of all, it never works in the mind
Speaker 1: of the public. Invariably there is a backlash against that
Speaker 1: at some ensuing election. But but what what what's going
Speaker 1: on here? It's it's Democrat fostered. Is judge shopping on
Speaker 1: this whole doge thing. They're looking for judges that would
Speaker 1: block what Trump is trying to do. Now, the latest
Speaker 1: just happened here about a half hour ago, where a
Speaker 1: federal judge said, yes, that that Trump has the right
Speaker 1: to freeze federal funds with some situations limited, but he
Speaker 1: does have that. This goes counter to what a number
Speaker 1: of these other activist judges are doing. And again you
Speaker 1: have to understand who some of these people are. For example,
Speaker 1: Judge Angel Kelly US District Court, District of Massachusetts, nominated
Speaker 1: by Joe Biden. Yesterday, Judge Kelly granted a restraining order
Speaker 1: against the National Institute of Health fundraising of funding cuts.
Speaker 1: She has a history of activism. Her career has been
Speaker 1: basically a dei career. Senator Ted Cruz took to the
Speaker 1: Senate floor, actually took to a podcast to castigate her.
Speaker 1: She is a soft on crime judge. In February of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, she sentenced a FedEx driver who stole
Speaker 1: and sold three guns from packages to only six days
Speaker 1: in prison and two hundred and fifty hours of community service.
Speaker 1: Strolen firearm convictions can carry a ten year prison sentence.
Speaker 1: Guy got six days, you have? Senior Judge Amy Berman
Speaker 1: Jackson on the U S District Court of Columbia District
Speaker 1: of Columbia, nominated by Barack Obama, presided over the Russian
Speaker 1: collusion case. Chief Judge John J. McConnell, junior of the
Speaker 1: US District Court for the District of Rhode Island, nominated
Speaker 1: by President Barack Obama. He's weighing in now in the
Speaker 1: wake of what this federal judge said just a while
Speaker 1: ago that almost like digging his feet in saying you
Speaker 1: know what, No, I was right. When Judge John J.
Speaker 1: O'Connell was in private practice as an attorney, where he
Speaker 1: was until twenty nine, McConnell donated hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 1: dollars to Democratic candidates and political action committees, include twenty
Speaker 1: eight presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: Eight thousand dollars donation to the Democratic Rhode Island Senator
Speaker 1: Sheldon Whitehouse and his twenty six Senate campaign. Judge Colleen Kohlerktelli,
Speaker 1: she looks like a real beauty. She stood against Trump's
Speaker 1: efforts to cut government excess by blocking DOGE from obtaining
Speaker 1: access to certain Treasury Department payment records.
Speaker 5: Um.
Speaker 1: She is known for having sentenced seven pro life activists
Speaker 1: to federal prison in a particularly cruel fashion. The husband
Speaker 1: of activists Paula Harlowe, who was seventy seven at the time,
Speaker 1: whom coler Cotelli sentenced to prison, was thoroughly rebuked by
Speaker 1: the judge when he emphasized that his wife was dying
Speaker 1: and pled for mercy and leniency. In response, coler Cottelli
Speaker 1: suggested that Harlowe quote make every effort to stay alive
Speaker 1: end quote, as part of the quote unquote tenant of
Speaker 1: your religion. Judge paul A. Englemeyer US District Court for
Speaker 1: the Southern District of New York, halleluja. Nominated by Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: This guy blocked DOJ's access to the Treasury Department payment system,
Speaker 1: and his ruling Engelmeyer forbade all political appointees, including the
Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary, from accessing Department of Treasury data and honor
Speaker 1: on it goes. Georgia o'tooles, Senior Judge District of Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: blocked the Trump effort for federal government employees to take
Speaker 1: a buyout, even though sixty five thousand federal workers said
Speaker 1: we'll take the buyout. Chief Judge Kenneth J. Gonzalez of
Speaker 1: the U. S District Court for the District of New Mexico,
Speaker 1: nominated by President Barack Obama. This dude made headlines by
Speaker 1: blocking the deportation of Venezuelan criminals to Guantanamo Bay. Voted
Speaker 1: no in nineteen ninety nine to curtailing foreign aid. See
Speaker 1: it's judge shopping. They find a judge, the judge rules,
Speaker 1: and then you've got to scramble and go to a
Speaker 1: higher court or get a stay in that court, or
Speaker 1: whatever it might be. And so it just goes on
Speaker 1: and on and on and on. It's one giant tamper tamperum.
Speaker 1: All Musk is trying to do is look, not trying
Speaker 1: to do anything else, just try to look and make
Speaker 1: recommendations to the president. But that's what the Democrats are
Speaker 1: doing right now, and it's digging their heels in and
Speaker 1: in essence they're making the same mistake they made leading
Speaker 1: into the election. In my humble opinion, well, this is interesting.
Speaker 1: One of the biggest maladies facing gen zers, those are
Speaker 1: the kids born between nineteen ninety seven and twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: One of the biggest maladies are self inflicted. Vaping among
Speaker 1: gen zers is apparently out of control, and because of that,
Speaker 1: they're aging faster than millennials, dehydrated skin, a lot of wrinkles,
Speaker 1: bad teeth, discolored teeth, they say. Experts say on these
Speaker 1: e cigarettes is vaping one hundred puffs on a vape
Speaker 1: is equal to smoking ten normal cigarettes. But yet vaping
Speaker 1: is running rampant among this younger generation, and because of that,
Speaker 1: a lot of them look like instead of their age
Speaker 1: twenty seven and under. It kind of looks like they're
Speaker 1: forty or forty five, and it's destroying a lot of
Speaker 1: other things in the process. Standing by to join us
Speaker 1: to weigh in as doctor Rebecca Weiss. She is someone
Speaker 1: who is not only a dermatologist, but someone that can
Speaker 1: testify to the evils of vaping because she has seen
Speaker 1: its hand in her family and with friends around her,
Speaker 1: and she's kind of enough to join us now to
Speaker 1: talk about vaping and why it's out of control, particularly
Speaker 1: among gen z. Doctor Whiss, how are you on this
Speaker 1: glorious day?
Speaker 6: I am excellent. Thank you so much for having.
Speaker 1: Me, Thank you for being here. Now explain vape face
Speaker 1: justin if you want to get raw and deep and whatnot.
Speaker 1: What does vape face? What does it look like?
Speaker 7: Well, what happens with these nicotine vaporizers is that the
Speaker 7: nicotine causes vasoconstriction, right, so it is essentially asphyxiating the
Speaker 7: skin and other organs, but it's limiting blood flow.
Speaker 6: To the skin.
Speaker 7: And obviously the skin is the biggest organ we have
Speaker 7: and the most visible. And what that can create is
Speaker 7: a more sallow, dull complexion, dry skin. It is causing
Speaker 7: oxidative stress and damage to the cells, the skin cells,
Speaker 7: which then speeds up collagen degradation. And that happens normally
Speaker 7: as we age, but you know, adding the insult right
Speaker 7: of nicotine that can speed up and cause premature aging
Speaker 7: in these patients. So we see more fine lines and
Speaker 7: wrinkles and skin bagging and such.
Speaker 1: So to the skin it sounds like, and I'm not
Speaker 1: speaking medically, I'm just saying to the skin, at its appearance,
Speaker 1: it really is the same thing as smoking a cigarette, then, right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it absolutely is. I mean I think maybe you
Speaker 7: won't get some of the you know, when you're smoking cigarettes,
Speaker 7: you've got some more of that nasty smoke that's like
Speaker 7: sitting right there on your skin. You might not get
Speaker 7: as like clogged pores and those problems, but you certainly
Speaker 7: can can experience rashes and dry skin. It even exacerbates
Speaker 7: things like exzemon and psoriasis and things like that because
Speaker 7: it's creating inflammation in the skin.
Speaker 1: It sounds horrible. I mean, the skin itself, as you mentioned,
Speaker 1: is the world's largest organ. One would think that if
Speaker 1: we're going to pay it attention to things like lungs
Speaker 1: and heart and kidneys and other organs inside the body
Speaker 1: that are much smaller, although maybe in a sense more important.
Speaker 1: You would probably want to pay attention to the most
Speaker 1: prominent part of what your body is, which is the skin.
Speaker 1: To me, it's I don't know why. I don't know
Speaker 1: why anybody would do any of these things. But we're
Speaker 1: talking about gen z so ninety seven to twenty twelve,
Speaker 1: So at the end of one end of that is
Speaker 1: thirteen years old. At the end of the other end
Speaker 1: of it is somebody who is twenty seven years old.
Speaker 1: So we're talking about seeing someone that might be twenty five,
Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty seven, and they're coming to you. What
Speaker 1: do they look like a fifty year old?
Speaker 7: No, I mean, I think what they're what they're seeing, though,
Speaker 7: are change is that a normal twenty seven year old
Speaker 7: wouldn't be seeing yet at that point, so you know,
Speaker 7: they might be looking closer to a thirty five year old.
Speaker 7: And they've even done twin studies where where one twin
Speaker 7: was supposed to cigarette smoke in this case and sun
Speaker 7: exposure and the other one wasn't, and really seeing the
Speaker 7: difference between those two patients that should look alike, you know,
Speaker 7: is really mind you know, boggling, and how how different
Speaker 7: the two of them can look. You know, I think
Speaker 7: even you know, going back to the whole skin being.
Speaker 6: The biggest organ and most visible organ.
Speaker 7: The skin is really an outward expression of what's happening
Speaker 7: inside your body. So you know, things don't look good
Speaker 7: on the outside, if you're breaking out, if you've got
Speaker 7: rashes and things like that, or you're aging prematurely, it
Speaker 7: does give you an indication that that harmful effects are
Speaker 7: happening on the inside as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So so doctor, someone comes to you and they've
Speaker 1: been vaping, and maybe they admit that, maybe they don't,
Speaker 1: and so you know, the uh what what happens at
Speaker 1: that point? Out comes the botox for someone that may
Speaker 1: not have needed that until they get into their fifties
Speaker 1: and they're trying to fill in crows feed or a
Speaker 1: little things up on the forehead or whatever it may be.
Speaker 1: How do you do you treat it? And I guess
Speaker 1: the bigger question is if someone continues to vape, I
Speaker 1: guess that's good for your business because I'll be coming
Speaker 1: back to see you. But what what do you do
Speaker 1: to someone that comes in that's got vape face? And
Speaker 1: they want to look a little bit more their age.
Speaker 7: Obviously, Number one is to counsel them on stopping the vaping, right.
Speaker 6: Number two would be to do things like there, we.
Speaker 7: Have lots of lasers in the practice, things that can
Speaker 7: help to resurface the skin, normalize the skin, the skin health.
Speaker 7: And then yes, certainly we can do things like botox
Speaker 7: and dermal fillers and such, because as you're as you're
Speaker 7: degrading your collagen with these substances, you know, it's much
Speaker 7: like ozepic space right where you're looking more gaunt your sinner.
Speaker 7: We may need to restore some of that natural volume
Speaker 7: that that they've lost. So, yes, we can do all
Speaker 7: of those things, but if they don't stop vaping, they're
Speaker 7: not going to respond as well to the treatments.
Speaker 6: We have to offer.
Speaker 7: So because you know, a lot of the things we
Speaker 7: do is to stimulate collagen.
Speaker 6: And if you're you know, you're sort.
Speaker 7: Of chasing your tail if you continue to use these
Speaker 7: vape devices.
Speaker 1: You've got a lot of faces there, You've got vape
Speaker 1: face face? How many faces you got going on there?
Speaker 6: Doc smoking face?
Speaker 8: Yes, yes they're at smoking thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, just just old face.
Speaker 8: So I mean, yeah, and I live in Arizona, so
Speaker 8: we have like, you know, sun sun.
Speaker 7: Face because everybody's so getting people on sunscreen, getting them
Speaker 7: to use you know, vitamin ceas and and other antioxidants
Speaker 7: on their skin can help decrease some of that that
Speaker 7: oxidative stress that the sun causes and all these other
Speaker 7: poutants and things that we do, like well then use sape.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not to get off topic, but sunscreen is it
Speaker 1: kind of took out a little bit of a controversy
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks about what's actually in
Speaker 1: sunscreen and what you have to have it sunscreen and
Speaker 1: what you need to avoid things like if something says oxy,
Speaker 1: you know you don't want to have it in your sunscreen.
Speaker 6: You don't want it.
Speaker 1: But I mean, what is what what do you put
Speaker 1: other than lathering yourself up like a lifeguard, except all
Speaker 1: over your body and not on your nose? What do
Speaker 1: you do? I mean, what what do you have to
Speaker 1: look for in those things?
Speaker 6: So you're absolutely right.
Speaker 7: I think anything that has oxy, I mean it is
Speaker 7: like oxy benzone or any of those kinds of things.
Speaker 7: They're typically not something you want to be applying to
Speaker 7: your skin on a daily basis.
Speaker 6: I do tell patients that, you know, if you're going.
Speaker 7: To the beach and you want to bring a spray sunscreen,
Speaker 7: look for one that's resafe ideally, because usually the ones
Speaker 7: that are rescafe have their primary.
Speaker 6: Ingredients being titanium or zinc.
Speaker 7: But they also make a lot of really nice formulations.
Speaker 7: Now are minerals based on mineral sunscreens, again, zinc and
Speaker 7: titanium being the main ingredient that feel good and look good,
Speaker 7: and some of them are tinted, some of them are untinted.
Speaker 7: But I think just getting to the point now where
Speaker 7: you're willing to put it on every single day, I think.
Speaker 4: A lot of us.
Speaker 7: I mean, I grew up in the day and age
Speaker 7: where we were just flattering ourselves in baby oil, and
Speaker 7: as soon as the sun came out, we were out
Speaker 7: there trying to get as tanned. We would have contests
Speaker 7: to see who could come back from spring great days.
Speaker 1: And I'm taking did wait a minute work you did?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I had to reverse all of that damage I did
Speaker 6: to myself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it.
Speaker 7: Wasn't until honestly, yeah, it wasn't until I was thirty
Speaker 7: that I got the message that hey, you know, I
Speaker 7: do need to put some screen on every day, but
Speaker 7: that that you have to make that a habit. And
Speaker 7: I think just getting patients onto the right sunscreen, something
Speaker 7: they're willing to use that feels good on their skin.
Speaker 7: And there are these really nice, cosmetically elegant products now
Speaker 7: that are available. A lot of companies are making them
Speaker 7: because we realize that we all this is like the
Speaker 7: number one thing that you can do, right. You want
Speaker 7: to prevent aging, because then you become a patient of mine.
Speaker 7: If you haven't done that, you're vaping, you're smoking, you're
Speaker 7: out in the sun.
Speaker 6: You know, I look forward to seeing you and my practice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well it keeps people like you in business.
Speaker 1: It just you know, vape face and ozepic face and
Speaker 1: not using sunscreen or using the wrong kind of sunscreen.
Speaker 1: It's just we I think it just highlights the laziness
Speaker 1: of our society. I mean, it's just like, you know, well,
Speaker 1: we'll do anything to ourselves and there'll always be some
Speaker 1: way to fix it. Well, good luck with vape face
Speaker 1: and ozepic face and all kinds of face. And hopefully
Speaker 1: we can talk again and you'll be over your sun
Speaker 1: tanning contest and I'll be a via ma'am again. We
Speaker 1: can all have a great conversation. Stay well, thanks, thank
Speaker 1: you you too, Yeah you bet well. You know, don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about sunscreen today, do we for a while?
Speaker 1: To uh oh twelve fifty six? You got to be
Speaker 1: kidding me. We're wow time doth fleet. It's the average
Speaker 1: American in for the Great American. Seven hundred wlw. All right,
Speaker 1: welcome back, seven hundred wylw. It's the average American in
Speaker 1: for the Great American on this Wednesday. Great to have
Speaker 1: you with us. We plowed through yet another gloomy day
Speaker 1: here in the tri State. Don't worry about it. Don't
Speaker 1: worry about it. The sun is coming. I know it's coming.
Speaker 1: It's coming, they promised. So we found out today that
Speaker 1: inflation is now three percent. That's what it was for
Speaker 1: the month of January. Well that's what it hit in
Speaker 1: the month of January. We'll see where it goes. And
Speaker 1: you know, I can only say anecdotally. I can't. I
Speaker 1: have no data in front of me. But it seems
Speaker 1: like when I go out to eat on a Friday
Speaker 1: or Saturday night, the places that I go to always
Speaker 1: seem to have a weight, and I just look sometimes
Speaker 1: when I'm driving and just see, you know, how's this
Speaker 1: place doing, how's that place doing. They're always doing extremely well.
Speaker 1: And then we keep hearing that a lot of restaurants
Speaker 1: are struggling. We're hearing that a lot of restaurants, a
Speaker 1: lot of popular chain restaurants have been closing locations over
Speaker 1: the past several years, and there has to be there
Speaker 1: has to be some disconnect between what reality is and
Speaker 1: what perception is. McDonald's, for example, released its quarterly earnings
Speaker 1: and they met expectations. Those were released earlier this week,
Speaker 1: but revenue fell short of what was estimated. Some of
Speaker 1: that could be attributed to the problems McDonald had back
Speaker 1: in October of last year, when the CDC found a
Speaker 1: fatal E. Coli outbreak in quarter pounder burgers. That was
Speaker 1: rectified when they discovered that McDonald's had changed its purveyor
Speaker 1: for onions, and that might have been the culprit. But
Speaker 1: that was right in and all seemed to be okay
Speaker 1: with McDonald's. Even though revenue is down, McDonald's is still
Speaker 1: extremely popular. I don't know if you've ever seen a
Speaker 1: McDonald's that's closed for any other reason. Than perhaps disrepair
Speaker 1: and they've built a new one. I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: sure they exist, but you sure don't hear about that.
Speaker 1: But a lot of other restaurants as as well. So
Speaker 1: the question becomes, are consumers now voting their wallets or
Speaker 1: voting their tastes or doing something that may be plaguing
Speaker 1: the restaurant industry and is that kind of a forbearer
Speaker 1: of what may be lying ahead for the rest of
Speaker 1: us economically? Standing by the way in on this, we
Speaker 1: have had Nick Neonachus on the show before. He is
Speaker 1: an expert on franchises twenty two years in the business,
Speaker 1: author of the book The Franchise mb and he's got
Speaker 1: a big expo coming to the Northern Kentucky Convention Center
Speaker 1: in May that we're going to talk about as well.
Speaker 1: But right now, why is it that some restaurants make
Speaker 1: it and some restaurants don't? Nick Neo nachis, how are
Speaker 1: on this glorious day?
Speaker 4: Hey, Ken, I'm doing great, Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 4: And you know, consumers are voting with their wallet and
Speaker 4: their feet. And if the food is great and it's
Speaker 4: a reasonable price, they will go there. And if it's not,
Speaker 4: then they don't and that's what we're seeing on mass.
Speaker 1: Well that's been the case at infinitum, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's always been about service and quality. Somebody will give
Speaker 1: you a first chance, may give you a second chance,
Speaker 1: but if that second chance doesn't cut it, they're not
Speaker 1: going back to see you. It doesn't matter what you're serving.
Speaker 4: Correct, correct, And if you know a big mac fries
Speaker 4: and a coke is costing you, you know, nine to
Speaker 4: twelve bucks, that's a tough one to sell. I mean,
Speaker 4: do you remember when on the value meal you could
Speaker 4: get two hash Browns for a dollar. That was like
Speaker 4: a mainstay. Now a Hash Brown, an extra Hash Brown
Speaker 4: is two to three dollars. And forget about what the
Speaker 4: egg prices are on an egg McMuffin. So where McDonald's
Speaker 4: used to be the trade down king, now all of
Speaker 4: a sudden they're in the middle of the mix. And
Speaker 4: that's what's happening with ernings.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, you just touched on something, the egg McMuffin. Now,
Speaker 1: I have not been to a McDonald's for breakfast may
Speaker 1: at least in the last week, so I have not
Speaker 1: seen what the egg situation is done to that particular product.
Speaker 1: And I think it's got to be one of their
Speaker 1: most popular products. You're going to reach a price point.
Speaker 1: I would think if indeed that there are these problems
Speaker 1: with eggs and chickens are being killed or they're dying
Speaker 1: or whatever's going on, you would have to reach a
Speaker 1: price point that just won't be met by most people
Speaker 1: that would buy that product. So how do you balance that?
Speaker 1: If you're a big chain like McDonald's, it's.
Speaker 4: Tough to get economies of scale and purchasing when the
Speaker 4: raw materials have gone up so much and you nailed it.
Speaker 4: It's this, you know, this chicken slaughter that happened last
Speaker 4: year that really took a lot of the production out
Speaker 4: at the margin, and that's what causes them the prices
Speaker 4: to go up. Most consumers are gonna just, you know,
Speaker 4: grin and bear it, and hopefully the chickens will keep
Speaker 4: making chickens, you know, but don't count them until they hatch,
Speaker 4: as the old saying goes. But you know, you look
Speaker 4: at the like waffle House, they've added a fifty cents
Speaker 4: surcharge per egg at at their restaurants. So I think,
Speaker 4: you know, you're going to see some slight deterioration in
Speaker 4: revenue and earnings, which is what happened with McDonald's. Now
Speaker 4: they beat their you know, their earnings per share, but
Speaker 4: the top line went down. And the reason is that
Speaker 4: they're charging more for food. So if you think about it,
Speaker 4: fewer people coming in, but they're paying more per ticket,
Speaker 4: you're going to have lower sales but a higher profit margin.
Speaker 4: But that isn't a sustainable business model.
Speaker 1: Or you're going to have I guess what's commonly referred
Speaker 1: to as shrinkage. You're going to get a smaller product
Speaker 1: you might get you might get it for the same price,
Speaker 1: but you know, these restaurants will start making those or McDonald's,
Speaker 1: for example, makes them uppet a little smaller, the egg
Speaker 1: batch a little smaller, the sausage patty a little smaller,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you're looking at something that's
Speaker 1: half the size it was a year ago.
Speaker 4: Right, coming soon, pigeon eggs to a McDonald's near you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah exactly. We don't have any
Speaker 1: chicken eggs, but you know, we got a couple of
Speaker 1: robins eggs here. We'll scramble those up and put them
Speaker 1: on for you. Yeah. The thing, I think that a
Speaker 1: lot of restaurants are struggling with and again, anecdotally, you
Speaker 1: know the business much better than I do, Nick, But
Speaker 1: I think what a lot of them are struggling with
Speaker 1: is that foot traffic maybe up, but costs are up.
Speaker 1: And I think they struggle with not only portion size
Speaker 1: and the amount of costs to produce the meal that
Speaker 1: you and I and anybody else would want to buy.
Speaker 1: They struggle with retaining help, they struggle with weight staff,
Speaker 1: they struggle with kitchen staff, and a lot of these
Speaker 1: restaurants and I saw this last week and it was
Speaker 1: one of my favorite places to go to. So I'm
Speaker 1: not going to I'm not going to dime them, but
Speaker 1: they started putting a an optional kitchen fee on the
Speaker 1: on the on the ticket that I got at the end.
Speaker 1: I know other places in Cincinnati that have it. Just
Speaker 1: it just appears on your on your ticket, your bill
Speaker 1: when you get it. And there's even a restaurant I
Speaker 1: think there may be two restaurants now that put employee
Speaker 1: health fee on there as well. And I'm looking at
Speaker 1: this and I'm saying to myself, you know, nothing against
Speaker 1: the kitchen staff, nothing against anybody else but you, the employer,
Speaker 1: the person running that restaurant. That's your business. Don't make
Speaker 1: your business my business. I'm your consumer and that and
Speaker 1: that restaurant or whomever needs to understand that. Just because
Speaker 1: you're having trouble with that, don't pass that on to
Speaker 1: me the consumer. There's enough chances for you to do
Speaker 1: that hidden with smaller sizes and whatnot, But don't start
Speaker 1: helping make me try to help pay for expenses that
Speaker 1: are just inherent with every other business that's out there.
Speaker 1: It infuriated me. Have you seen anything like that?
Speaker 7: I have.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know, shrinkflation as we were calling it,
Speaker 4: where you know, if you are increasing the price of
Speaker 4: a hamburger from you know, six bucks to ten bucks,
Speaker 4: people are going to see it. But if you add
Speaker 4: surcharges to it, then you can keep the price of
Speaker 4: your item at a level the consumers go, oh, that's okay,
Speaker 4: and then they get the sticker shock at the end.
Speaker 4: And if it's takeout, you know, the kid behind the
Speaker 4: counter is going to turn around the little credit card
Speaker 4: reader that has how much would you like to tip
Speaker 4: me today? You know, which is something that infuriates people
Speaker 4: as well. And I remember the last time that I
Speaker 4: was on you're asking about how restaurants are combating this.
Speaker 4: And one of the things we talked about was technology,
Speaker 4: and I mentioned the company called robot Lab, which is
Speaker 4: a franchise that provides robotic solutions to restaurants, hospitals, cleaning
Speaker 4: things like this really amazing company, and they had one
Speaker 4: or two locations at the beginning of last year, they
Speaker 4: sold over thirty different locations. Now in the past year,
Speaker 4: it's something like sixty or seventy units are getting opened
Speaker 4: up all around the country because people are actively looking
Speaker 4: to figure out how can they manage costs. And if
Speaker 4: you can't manage food costs, then you've got to manage
Speaker 4: your labor costs. And that's where a lot of this
Speaker 4: is going.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm just you know, I very typically talk
Speaker 1: any more about AI because I don't understand it and
Speaker 1: I'm not sure where it's going. I think there's very
Speaker 1: few people that understand where it's going. But could any
Speaker 1: of that what you just talked about, could any of
Speaker 1: that be filtered back into AI and helping some of
Speaker 1: these restaurants that are struggling get better at either food
Speaker 1: or service.
Speaker 4: It could on a large on a large scale, but
Speaker 4: on a micro level, it would be around predicting how
Speaker 4: many guests are going to be coming in at certain
Speaker 4: times and then helping you with adding staff. At a
Speaker 4: large level, let's say at a McDonald's size business. You know,
Speaker 4: their companies like Palenteer, which has just been on a
Speaker 4: tear over the last year, that do large data analytics
Speaker 4: where then they're going to harmonize the purchase of beef
Speaker 4: and potatoes and so on, and then they start going
Speaker 4: back into the supply chain. You know, when do things
Speaker 4: need to be planted, harvested, slaughtered, packed, and so on.
Speaker 4: So if you think of how complex the supply chain
Speaker 4: is for any national company, this is where AI is
Speaker 4: going to come into play. But on a unit level,
Speaker 4: somebody's got to flip the burger, somebody's got to take
Speaker 4: the fry, put some salt on them, and hand you,
Speaker 4: you know, the food. That's where robotics starts coming in.
Speaker 4: And you're seeing Elon Musk as a robotics company. There's
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of really amazing ones out there that
Speaker 4: unfortunately are going to change the labor pools.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I think it's coming. I mean, there's got
Speaker 1: to be some way that they can keep percolating along here.
Speaker 1: When costs are going up for product to make these
Speaker 1: particular meals that people like, there's got to be a
Speaker 1: way to fix that, particularly if you're a publicly traded company.
Speaker 1: The last thing you want to see it's affecting your
Speaker 1: bottom line. I get that, But I'm looking at a
Speaker 1: list here of some of these restaurants that have closed
Speaker 1: stores or places around the country. These are big name
Speaker 1: places like Wendy's and Denny's Shake Shack, which I know
Speaker 1: everybody was clamoring to get some of those here in
Speaker 1: the greater Cincinnati area. Last I heard we were supposed
Speaker 1: to get one. I don't know if we are. Buka
Speaker 1: Debeppo has been around for They're struggling everywhere. Mod Pizza
Speaker 1: was here for a hot minute and did not do
Speaker 1: all that well, but I thought their product was good.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is a very interesting market. It's parochial in the
Speaker 1: sense that chains really don't do well here. That the
Speaker 1: Wendy's McDonald's they do well by and large everywhere, but here.
Speaker 1: If you are an out of town steakhouse, for example,
Speaker 1: out of town fast food place, out of town ribs place,
Speaker 1: you really don't do all that well. We have some
Speaker 1: big players in this market that if you really want
Speaker 1: to have that kind of food and you really want
Speaker 1: to have a good meal, you go there. And I'm
Speaker 1: just wondering nationally, is it that way too, where each
Speaker 1: individual town has got its own places, and by god,
Speaker 1: don't you dare bring in something like mod Pizza or
Speaker 1: Outpack or someplace like that, because we're not going to
Speaker 1: go to it. We like our own places. Does that
Speaker 1: go on a lot around the country.
Speaker 4: You know it does depending on the city. And I'll
Speaker 4: tell you Montgomery in and Skyline is going to put
Speaker 4: up a heck of a fight to anybody that comes
Speaker 4: in because the food's so good. And if you're in
Speaker 4: an older market, you're typically going to have these well
Speaker 4: grounded hometown favorites that people grew up on, right think
Speaker 4: of Permantes and Pittsburgh. But you have a lot of
Speaker 4: newer areas in Florida, Texas where you've had a lot
Speaker 4: of migration, and they're new cities in essence that are
Speaker 4: coming up. That's where franchises tend to do well. And
Speaker 4: one of the trends that we've been seeing is a
Speaker 4: lot of old line companies are becoming franchisores to then
Speaker 4: be able to take advantage of this demographic reallocation in
Speaker 4: the country. So you know, maybe you could see a
Speaker 4: Skyline Chili coming to Miami or to El Paso. You know,
Speaker 4: in the near future. It's a reality.
Speaker 1: But you know, they skyline Chili has been down in
Speaker 1: Florida for a while. Gosh, it's been down. I think
Speaker 1: there was the first one down here about forty years ago.
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you where they are down here, but
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're roll over Florida. But it's wherever the
Speaker 1: population is going most. Most were transit society, so snowbirds
Speaker 1: come down, go down to Florida, they might go out
Speaker 1: to Arizona. And so you're gonna it stands the reason
Speaker 1: these restaurants are going to follow the people because that's
Speaker 1: where the money is.
Speaker 4: Right. Yeah, it looks like you I just pulled them
Speaker 4: up and I live in south of Miami, so we've
Speaker 4: got it. Looks like two four five locations in Florida.
Speaker 4: Well there's that's a Cincinnati Chili is the one that
Speaker 4: they're they're calling it temporarily closed. But yeah, we need
Speaker 4: more down here. I need to go get some skyline chili.
Speaker 1: Here there you go. No, well, you're going to come
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati, I guess, or the greater Cincinnati area in

Speaker 1: know what's going on season. But the Democrats they're trying
Speaker 1: everything now brutal. Here's what, here's what they've they've done.

Speaker 1: is what I'm being told.
Speaker 12: The FC is gonna get one of the top players
Speaker 12: in the MLS. Evander is coming to the Queen City
Speaker 12: from the Portland Timbers, Younger and better. Fifteen goals last season.
Speaker 12: I don't know what to cost. His problem was why
Speaker 12: you know, you think I think he ran in with
Speaker 12: he had run ins with the front office or something.
Speaker 12: I don't know what the contract contract, right, Everything was
Speaker 12: all right and then all of a sudden it blew up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, at the end of the last season, he's saying, well,
Speaker 1: it could be my last time playing for this team.
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, you got a contract, correct, So I
Speaker 1: don't I think there's more of that story, and I
Speaker 1: think it'll come out.
Speaker 12: And I think FC Cincinnati plays Dallas later on this year.
Speaker 1: We'll see Cincinnati. I mean, with between him and Denkey,
Speaker 1: they ought to be pretty darn good this year. Amen

Speaker 1: five six rows up from the glass center ice. Nice.
Speaker 1: You could hear us everybody could you could, You could
Speaker 1: hear everything, but the most every the most impressive thing
Speaker 1: that was there is a guy from the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Speaker 1: I don't know his name. The whistle blows and he
Speaker 1: takes his right hand and he just cold cocks this
Speaker 1: guy in the face. And the Rangers and you could
Speaker 1: hear everything where we're sitting, and the guy from the
Speaker 1: Rangers screams and falls down to the ice, and the
Speaker 1: Rangers bench starts going crazy. You know, So the referee
Speaker 1: skates over to the Rangers bench. I get it's like
Speaker 1: he's talking to me. He goes he said, ah, shut up,
Speaker 1: that guy wasn't hurt, and skidd it back out and
Speaker 1: dropped the pocket. Said this is fantastic, but that you know,
Speaker 1: that would have been fifteen yards and yeah, kicking a
Speaker 1: field goal to beat the Bengal Correct, But I'm just
Speaker 1: saying I was very impressed with the way that that
Speaker 1: whole operation went.
Speaker 12: They got well, they're in, they're in the playoff hunt.
Speaker 12: They finally got a good coach, they finally got a
Speaker 12: good GM yet and you know they got you know it? Yeah,

Speaker 1: about that? I don't know how about this. Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: goes on this podcast pardon my take, yes, and he starts,
Speaker 1: just starts. Joe Burrow is literally the general manager of
Speaker 1: the Bengals. You know that, right, correct, And he's on
Speaker 1: there he's saying, would would he take a restructured contract
Speaker 1: to keep teegins? Yeah, yeah, we do. I say the
Speaker 1: Eagles are doing it, we should do it. I wonder
Speaker 1: just just wondering, just wondering in the confines of pay
Speaker 1: Stubs Stadium or whatever the hell it's being called now, Hey,
Speaker 1: Corey whatever, Mike Brown and Duke Toban if they like
Speaker 1: what's going on here where he's going everywhere and just

Speaker 1: Seven hundred l w all right, two nine, Welcome on in.
Speaker 1: It's the average American in for the great American on
Speaker 1: this Wednesday. Great to have you with us. I say
Speaker 1: that all the but I mean it because without you,
Speaker 1: who are way, we're all in this together. And I
Speaker 1: meant this program, not all the other stuff. One of
Speaker 1: those phrases that just drove me crazy during the pandemic.
Speaker 1: But we are. It's kind of like it's a give
Speaker 1: and take care. And I'm glad you're with us today.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're with us every day at my age,
Speaker 1: I'm glad anybody's listening to me. Valentine's Day is coming
Speaker 1: up on Friday. Now. That could be breaking news to
Speaker 1: some of the male persuasion out there, because invariably a
Speaker 1: lot of of guys wait till the last minute and
Speaker 1: figure out, oh, or what am I going to do now?
Speaker 1: And I think the longer you are in a relationship,
Speaker 1: whether it be a marriage or just a long term commitment,
Speaker 1: you should know the other person better. Than what you
Speaker 1: learned or knew of them when you first met them.
Speaker 1: But also there's a sameness that sets in, and there's
Speaker 1: also kind of like, you know, I listen a little bit,
Speaker 1: I don't listen a little bit. I pay attention, I
Speaker 1: don't pay attention. I guess there's a normalcy that takes
Speaker 1: away from what ought to be a focus on what
Speaker 1: that person is all about and what they like. And
Speaker 1: it works the other way too. I'm not just saying
Speaker 1: it only flows one way. It flows the other way.
Speaker 1: But if you're just starting a relationship, whatever you do,
Speaker 1: don't don't do anything stupid, like a gift certificate to
Speaker 1: a gym or rolling in with a peloton or anything
Speaker 1: else that may be There are also some things you
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't do as well. Come Friday dinner reservations, Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's nice, but it may not be the best thing.
Speaker 1: In fact, a survey was taken a few years ago.
Speaker 1: I don't have the name of the people that took it,
Speaker 1: but it said a fancy dinner was only appreciated by
Speaker 1: the significant other ten percent of the time, and I
Speaker 1: thought that was kind of low. Anyway, let's figure out
Speaker 1: what's going on here. Because I know a lot of
Speaker 1: us are clueless and a lot of us just want
Speaker 1: a little last minute help. It is, after all, less
Speaker 1: than forty eight hours away. Standing by is the woman
Speaker 1: I turned to whenever things come to the affairs of
Speaker 1: the heart. I have had Jen Steyers on quite a
Speaker 1: bit because she knows of what she speaks, and she
Speaker 1: has twenty five years as a professional relationship expert. She is,
Speaker 1: in essence, not just a matchmaker, but making sure what
Speaker 1: she's matched has a good chance of succeeding. By the way,
Speaker 1: She's got a podcast called The Lovability Show with Jennifer Styers,
Speaker 1: and here she is my expert on all of this. Jen,
Speaker 1: how are you on this glorious Wednesday?
Speaker 13: I am great. I am great getting everybody ready for
Speaker 13: Valentine's Day, big project here.
Speaker 1: You know, I think I think if you're in a
Speaker 1: long relationship, maybe if you've been married for a while,
Speaker 1: or perhaps you're just in a long significant relationship, you
Speaker 1: probably or should know the other person well. But I mean,
Speaker 1: as you know from your business, sometimes you're in a
Speaker 1: relationship that's new. Sometimes it's just starting to germinate, and okay,
Speaker 1: my gosh, here it comes. What do I do. I
Speaker 1: don't want to make a mistake. What do you tell
Speaker 1: people that are feel a little hamstrung at this time
Speaker 1: of the year.
Speaker 13: Well, it's a tricky time and I don't care. You know,
Speaker 13: there's people that have been in a relationship a long
Speaker 13: time that still aren't doing the right thing at Valentine's Day,
Speaker 13: And so it applies to everyone, but it's especially tricky.
Speaker 13: Like if you just met somebody and you don't know
Speaker 13: them that well, maybe you you know, are casually dating,
Speaker 13: but it's Valentine's Day and you don't know whether to
Speaker 13: even acknowledge it that you better acknowledge it. As women,
Speaker 13: even if they're not romantic, you'll want it to be acknowledged.
Speaker 13: So let me start from that ken because I think
Speaker 13: the very first thing is let's not project our own
Speaker 13: stuff or we assume that somebody is going to be
Speaker 13: a big Valentine's taper. Can if you don't know Wine
Speaker 13: very well and you've never experienced a Valentine's Day with her,
Speaker 13: ask her what is the Valentine's dates coming up?
Speaker 6: What does that mean to you? What do you want
Speaker 6: to do?
Speaker 13: Is it's something you know you'd like to do, something special?
Speaker 13: Because she make them know, you know, yeah, I mean
Speaker 13: she might. A lot more people are getting there.
Speaker 1: And if you're on the other side of that question,
Speaker 1: I think the worst thing that that person can say,
Speaker 1: be it male or female, is I don't know or
Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you want to do?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 1: I guess that maybe throws it back on the person asking,
Speaker 1: But I mean, at least if you're in a relationship
Speaker 1: and you know Valentine's Day is coming, at least have
Speaker 1: an idea that if I'm asked, this is kind of
Speaker 1: what I'd like to do. I think I think that
Speaker 1: helps the ask the ask er. I suppose at that point,
Speaker 1: I love.
Speaker 13: That you know what you just gave me. You just
Speaker 13: gave me a guy's perspective, you know, because guys have
Speaker 13: to do the asking typically, and I guess women don't
Speaker 13: ever think about the fact that they you know, they
Speaker 13: need to think about that, or don't think about that,
Speaker 13: or think about what kind of response they're going to
Speaker 13: get when since they are asking. That's really kind of
Speaker 13: sad that they have to think about that. But having
Speaker 13: said that, I do think it's important. Here's like the
Speaker 13: general rule, if you are dating somebody, you're just getting
Speaker 13: to know them if you if you don't know them
Speaker 13: well at all, maybe I've only been on one or
Speaker 13: two dates, and it's still very superficial, always a little hard,
Speaker 13: and asking or out to dinner is a great way
Speaker 13: to go. It doesn't have to be over the top.
Speaker 13: But I would always ask what Valentine's Day to you?
Speaker 6: What do you like to do?
Speaker 13: But go for love languages. When you know somebody, you've
Speaker 13: been dating them a while, you've been listening to them,
Speaker 13: Do they like qualities? Time with you, that's your gifts,
Speaker 13: doing something with them on Valentine's sat If they like gifts,
Speaker 13: it's showering them with several gifts and making them feel special.
Speaker 13: And if words of affirmation, same thing. It would be
Speaker 13: you know a lot of visual cards, you know, writing
Speaker 13: on the bathroom mirror, whatever it may be, leaving little
Speaker 13: love note places, those kind of things would work for that.
Speaker 13: So know what somebody's love language is and that's how
Speaker 13: they're going to receive Valentine.
Speaker 1: Really, it doesn't get easier as you get deeper into
Speaker 1: a relationship. I mean, look, if you're married thirty years
Speaker 1: and if you don't know what your wife likes or
Speaker 1: would like, to do or what is romantic to her.
Speaker 1: It might be a good eye a time to perhaps
Speaker 1: seek out some therapy for yourself. Because it's been there
Speaker 1: for the last thirty years. Why don't you understand what
Speaker 1: that person that's so important in your life likes. But
Speaker 1: even so it's very difficult. I think you should never
Speaker 1: lose and this is just an opinion. I should you
Speaker 1: should never lose creativity in a relationship because I think
Speaker 1: if you do, that's where things started to go stale.
Speaker 1: And creativity is tested each year at this time. So
Speaker 1: in other words, flex those muscles during the years so
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like a workout at the gym every
Speaker 1: February fourteenth.
Speaker 13: That would be my add I don't love your philosophy.
Speaker 6: You need to have my job.
Speaker 13: I know, I mean it like that's it's such great advice.
Speaker 13: I think you know you had had originally said, and
Speaker 13: that was actually how I was feeling about it, that
Speaker 13: people that are married should know what you know their
Speaker 13: significant other life. But Gidni A mazed as a counselor
Speaker 13: to how many people don't and how many you know
Speaker 13: why we'll say your husbands will say, well, they didn't
Speaker 13: even do this for me or didn't remember this, or
Speaker 13: you know, I've always loved this, but I didn't get
Speaker 13: you know, I never got that. And and so we
Speaker 13: should be looking at ways to go out of our
Speaker 13: way to date our person again, to you know, to
Speaker 13: find the things that they liked, to listen for them,
Speaker 13: because they tell you, you know, it's just a matter
Speaker 13: of do I want to meet their needs and make
Speaker 13: them happy. And that's the goal of our relationship, for
Speaker 13: our long term, happier relationship, is to make each other happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was married to my late wife for thirty
Speaker 1: seven years, and what we got on we had children
Speaker 1: and everything. We would go out on a Saturday night
Speaker 1: and we had a rule no kid talk. We didn't
Speaker 1: talk about the kids. We didn't talk about what was
Speaker 1: going on at school or who was doing what. We
Speaker 1: just talked about each other and we talked about family
Speaker 1: and how we were going to progress in our relationship.
Speaker 1: So we could do the same thing the next time
Speaker 1: we had a no kid dinner. But I just think
Speaker 1: it's important to remember that before all these other things
Speaker 1: in your life, kids at home and parents that are
Speaker 1: aging and all that, it was you and them. And
Speaker 1: that's what I think you got to.
Speaker 13: Get back to I love that, you know what that's
Speaker 13: that is some solid advice.
Speaker 6: I don't know why job.
Speaker 1: I don't want your jobs, Jen, I swear to God,
Speaker 1: I don't want your job.
Speaker 13: You know why you were married for thirty seven years.
Speaker 6: I mean if you take people that have made.
Speaker 13: It work for thirty seven years, that's a good rule.
Speaker 13: I mean you just taught everybody something and myself included.
Speaker 13: You know, that's a that's such a great idea is
Speaker 13: to just get the conversation about the kids. And let's
Speaker 13: just be honest. A lot of women like and families
Speaker 13: if their relationship becomes about the kids as they're growing,
Speaker 13: and it doesn't become up and that's where people lose
Speaker 13: each other and that's why we see divorced after the
Speaker 13: kids are gone. So what a great way to connect.
Speaker 13: My parents are have been married for over sixty years
Speaker 13: and they had amazing and they did date nights. I
Speaker 13: remember them leaving us, there five of us, and I
Speaker 13: remember them leaving us once a week to go on
Speaker 13: a date night.
Speaker 6: Thought there was just bither sanity, but.
Speaker 13: They would go out on a date and they still
Speaker 13: date each other even today. They still date and go
Speaker 13: on trips and date It's crazy, it's beautiful.
Speaker 10: It is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's wonderful. God blessen. That's that's absolutely terrific. I think,
Speaker 1: and I think another mistake that people do. I think
Speaker 1: guys do this. I'm not sure. I don't think women
Speaker 1: do this, but I think guys do this. They'll get
Speaker 1: a Valentine's gift for their wife and they'll say something like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know what, well, I uh, I'm going to get
Speaker 1: this for you because I think it'd look good on you.
Speaker 1: They're saying this to themselves, or get this because you
Speaker 1: know it might be kind of funny, you know, the
Speaker 1: old furry handcuffs, the lingerie, the underwear. It's really a
Speaker 1: gift for them. It's not for the wife. So first
Speaker 1: of all, X that off your list, right, Yeah.
Speaker 13: Yeah, It's important that you give your anybody whoever you're
Speaker 13: giving a gift to, something that they want and need
Speaker 13: that's not going to offend anything that would imply that
Speaker 13: they're overweight, that they you know, need to need to
Speaker 13: spend more time doing your makeup or you.
Speaker 6: Know, going right.
Speaker 13: I mean, badays are always a good way to go.
Speaker 13: I think with both. I mean, men need massages.
Speaker 6: You and I.
Speaker 13: Love spotte together for Valentine. It's such a great time.
Speaker 1: In the same room.
Speaker 13: Yeah, like get a couple of massage and a lot
Speaker 13: of them. A lot of the spas have like hot
Speaker 13: tubs and things like that where you can hang out
Speaker 13: together and just do a day of it.
Speaker 8: Hand for yourself.
Speaker 13: Yeah, men need it too, And then you know, get
Speaker 13: men can sit next to their wives and get a peticure.
Speaker 13: Their girlfriends can get a peticure or manicure. Not a
Speaker 13: bad thing, not a.
Speaker 1: Bad thing, not a bad thing at all, gentstiers or gues.
Speaker 1: She's the dating relationship expert. We'll talk about how you
Speaker 1: can find her and help her find you somebody significant.
Speaker 1: I think it's so tough to find meaningful relationships anymore.
Speaker 1: And you and I have talked about this a lot.
Speaker 1: The online dating game, I think frightens a lot of people,
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, because you don't know what you're getting
Speaker 1: yourself into. And the old adage, well we'll meet meet
Speaker 1: somebody at church or all, introduce you to somebody or well,
Speaker 1: you know, I just I just said it's difficult because
Speaker 1: to flying and again I'm speaking anecdotally here. You can
Speaker 1: speak from certainly from expertise. I think the problem is
Speaker 1: is there's not enough going in to get what you
Speaker 1: need going out. And I think you've got to be
Speaker 1: honest with yourself if you're getting involved with someone like
Speaker 1: you as so, who am I, what do I like,
Speaker 1: what do I want? And what do I think I
Speaker 1: would bring to a relationship. The onus, really, I think,
Speaker 1: is on the person that is seeking that relationship, not
Speaker 1: necessarily the person that is going to be your ultimate muse,
Speaker 1: and not certainly somebody like you. Honesty going in only
Speaker 1: breeds honesty coming out right.
Speaker 6: Absolutely.
Speaker 13: I mean it's a great point. I think people blindly
Speaker 13: go into relationships and are always looking for what is
Speaker 13: this person going to do for me? How are they
Speaker 13: going to make my life better? How are they going
Speaker 13: to meet my needs? How are they going to make
Speaker 13: me happy? Instead of first of all, having all that
Speaker 13: yourself and knowing all that yourself that's so so important.
Speaker 13: Another person isn't there to fix you or make you happy.
Speaker 13: You have to be whole yourself and know what you want.
Speaker 13: I mean, you said it.
Speaker 6: That's the miss that's the.
Speaker 13: Piece, that's why people go from one thing to another
Speaker 13: to another. This person didn't have this, they did this.
Speaker 13: You know, it's always about I just can't find the
Speaker 13: right person. If that's you and you're listening and you're like,
Speaker 13: that's me, I just you know, I'm too picky or
Speaker 13: I haven't found the right person yet, they just haven't
Speaker 13: showed up. That is a sure sign that you need
Speaker 13: to get clearer on who you are and what you're
Speaker 13: looking for, because you're not attracting it. You're the one
Speaker 13: picking those people, and if you're picking the wrong people,
Speaker 13: it's because of that.
Speaker 6: You know, I will have.
Speaker 13: A little caveat here go the online dating space, which
Speaker 13: isn't doing well right now. Matches like in all their brands,
Speaker 13: are in major trouble because everybody is getting past this
Speaker 13: Mike like, it's not they don't want the superficial connection anymore.
Speaker 13: But it has led to the problem of not only
Speaker 13: people superficially looking for things. But if you heard this,
Speaker 13: I've heard some stories in the last week. I'm starting
Speaker 13: an app myself, but it's a matchmaking up so it's different.
Speaker 13: But these people have PTSD from these dating app It's crazy.
Speaker 13: But they've been ghosted and they think it's them and
Speaker 13: then it starts affecting their self esteem. I had a
Speaker 13: lady that didn't want to get dressed for a date
Speaker 13: because she's said she's going to show up and he's.
Speaker 6: Not going to show up.
Speaker 13: And I mean literally, I'm not very baous here thinking
Speaker 13: about it. Yeah yeah, yeah, but they weren't on the
Speaker 13: dating app, so she would literally go down the dating app,
Speaker 13: get ready, go to the restaurant or wherever she's meeting
Speaker 13: this guy, and they wouldn't show up. So she was
Speaker 13: terrified when she's got on my app that the guy
Speaker 13: wasn't going to show up. And I'm like, where is
Speaker 13: this coming from? But this is real, you know, this
Speaker 13: is real damage that people have suffered from that. It's
Speaker 13: time that people, you know, slow down and go about
Speaker 13: this the old fashioned way, whether that is you know,
Speaker 13: first getting to know yourself and then you know, trying
Speaker 13: to find a quality of relationship and taking your time.
Speaker 1: To do that, and then find Jen Steyers because she
Speaker 1: would be your guy. Absolutely. You're at love Jen l
Speaker 1: O V e j e w n j e n
Speaker 1: N dot com. And when they go there, Jen, I've
Speaker 1: been there because I've seen what you're all about. Obviously,
Speaker 1: I've had you on my show quite a bit. What
Speaker 1: would someone find that has never been on your website?
Speaker 6: Where would they find it?
Speaker 1: No, how what would they find when they actually get
Speaker 1: to lovegen dot com?
Speaker 13: What I said, a lot, there's a lot. There's a
Speaker 13: kind of media stories and links on their queue. I
Speaker 13: always love to send people, even though that the.
Speaker 6: Right sales pitch.
Speaker 13: Would you to send him to my website because there's
Speaker 13: lots of information about finding love and different options available
Speaker 13: and coaching and.
Speaker 4: All of that.
Speaker 13: But I could go to my Facebook page, my personal
Speaker 13: Facebook page, because I post every day and I get
Speaker 13: coaching for people. And at the end of the day,
Speaker 13: what I really want to do is help and educate
Speaker 13: people because the more information we have, like today, the
Speaker 13: better people chances are of actually finding love and being happier.
Speaker 1: And Jen knows of what she speaks. She's been at
Speaker 1: this for quarter of a century. Jen twenty five years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's always great having you on. Stay well and for
Speaker 1: you personally. Happy Valentine's Day and I'm sure we'll talk
Speaker 1: again down the road.
Speaker 13: Thanks man, appreciate it, Thanks thanks for having met you.
Speaker 1: Bet you know, just don't do anything stupid, It's just
Speaker 1: common sense. Just don't do anything stupid. Little things too.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not exactly romantic. I'm just saying logically,
Speaker 1: just little things and don't do anything stupid. And listen
Speaker 1: when the other person's talking, sound like, who was that
Speaker 1: the doctor Ruth? She was the doctor Judy? Whoever? The
Speaker 1: on the radio love and Relationships? Who was that? I
Speaker 1: don't remember. It's a long time ago. You forget a
Speaker 1: lot of things. That's the problem with getting old to
Speaker 1: twenty six news radio seven hundred w welw.
Speaker 14: Yeah. So you could do a couple of different things.
Speaker 14: You could convert some of the money to a signing bonus.
Speaker 1: Okay, will lower the cap hit.
Speaker 14: You can push some of the money to the back
Speaker 14: end of the contract, and then when you get to
Speaker 14: that lowers the cap hit. And then when you get
Speaker 14: to the back end of the contract you can restructure
Speaker 14: it and convert it to a signing bonus.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Then you can also just take less money. And which
Speaker 1: one were you going to do?
Speaker 9: We'll see, Hello, buyet and I'm broadcasting's capologist.
Speaker 1: He knows exactly what's going on.
Speaker 12: For the first time this offseason, there at can Brew
Speaker 12: the Bengals court of last GM. Joe Burrow divulging key
Speaker 12: details in a contract restructure that could help franchise the
Speaker 12: franchise sign some key players to long term deals on
Speaker 12: the pardon might take podcast.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, seg he might be the smartest guy
Speaker 1: the Bengals ever drafted. I would think though they had
Speaker 1: some smart guys on that team from from time to time. Yep.
Speaker 1: Who was the guy that was was before I got
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati. He was the punter and he wound up
Speaker 1: making these like little figures for Kenny the starting lineup.
Speaker 1: That was Pat Mcanalen. Yeah he was a smart guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: smart guy. Yeah. Boomer was a smart guy. Yeah, very
Speaker 1: smart guy. Yep. A lot of smart guys. But I
Speaker 1: think Joe Burrow is like the smartest guy they ever drafted.
Speaker 1: He knows a lot about a lot of different things. Yep.
Speaker 12: And he's you know, he got two hundred and seventy
Speaker 12: five million dollars to just defer, defer, defer, just defer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all you're gonna do.
Speaker 12: I mean, he's not going to say anything yet, but
Speaker 12: I mean that's what he's gonna do.
Speaker 1: I mean, what's he gonna do? I know, well, I
Speaker 1: think he's got the wheels and motions, right, I think
Speaker 1: what he's got. I think that was a little window
Speaker 1: into what's going on. It's like, okay, we can do this, right,
Speaker 1: and he's probably got his agent or his tax advisor.
Speaker 1: I mean, at his level, more than half is probably
Speaker 1: going to the federal government anyway then go. So he's
Speaker 1: probably thinking, okay, well this could betefit me in the
Speaker 1: long run. Just defer, defer. Also, like Bobby Bonia, he's
Speaker 1: still getting paid in the next ten years, isn't he.
Speaker 1: I think they just they dies.
Speaker 12: Yeah. They they just ended with Griffy Junior in the
Speaker 12: Reds what last year?
Speaker 1: Right, So that was it. So you know, Burrow's probably thinking, well,
Speaker 1: if Bobby Benia can do this, I can do this.
Speaker 12: And according to reports, now can brew. Bengals defensive captain
Speaker 12: and leading tackler Jermaine Pratt has apparently requested a trade. Yeah,
Speaker 12: because they're going to and maybe we're going to reunite
Speaker 12: with leu An Arumo in Indianapolis.
Speaker 11: Fourth down end goal from the nine seventeen seconds to
Speaker 11: go to play clock at three shot, snap car throws.
Speaker 1: The football coffin. Now, bam, bam, bam. How about that?
Speaker 1: It ends on a turnover.
Speaker 4: Man about it.
Speaker 12: You know when you were doing the games, you never
Speaker 12: let lap them do that coffin nails, did you?
Speaker 1: We didn't have coffin nails stock because there weren't a
Speaker 1: lot of wins. He got a point, He got a
Speaker 1: point there, ken Brew. When I did those games, they
Speaker 1: didn't win many games I think iggured up, including exhibition games.
Speaker 1: I think in five years, I think they won twenty games.
Speaker 1: Ken Brew. On that note, to the stooge reporters of
Speaker 1: Proud Service, every local Thamestar heating and air conditioning dealers,
Speaker 1: Thamestar quality you can feel in Cincinnati, Colway Oma Air
Speaker 1: won eight eight, eight nine nine six h v A

Speaker 12: and no Acosta.
Speaker 1: No Acosta.
Speaker 12: He's headed off to Dallas and then Evander Vander is
Speaker 12: headed here from the Portland Timbers. Like you said, better player, younger,
Speaker 12: fifteen goals last season.
Speaker 1: You know, when they introduce him the PN, I don't
Speaker 1: even know who the p announcer is, TQL, but what
Speaker 1: he's got to do is he's got to do what
Speaker 1: they do with those hockey games, you know. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't just see the guy's name. It'd be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's got to last about like five minutes like that.
Speaker 1: Like the Spanish guys when they when they go go go,
Speaker 1: go go go, Yeah, right, yeah, I think that's I
Speaker 1: think that's a little tip you know, we could pass
Speaker 1: on to Jeff Burden or something. I'm sure he's listening intently.
Speaker 1: I hope.
Speaker 12: Let's see the Reds are in agreement with right hand
Speaker 12: or reliever Scott Barlow.
Speaker 1: Oh thank god, I was worried about that. And night.
Speaker 12: He's appeared in sixty three games for the Guardians last season.
Speaker 12: His hair has passed his shoulders ken Brew bobble head
Speaker 12: number seventy five this year, and if he's with the Reds.
Speaker 12: The first thing I thought of, guy's got, I mean
Speaker 12: haired past his shoulders.
Speaker 1: You know, Bengo, I got a bobblehead idea. What could
Speaker 1: you not have when Marge Shot owned the team?
Speaker 12: You have mustache? Yeah, beards and mustaches. Yeah, you couldn't
Speaker 12: have long hair. No, So they should do a Marge
Speaker 12: Shot bobblehead and have Marge with hair down past her shoulders.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I think that thing. That would be a
Speaker 1: big deal. I think another marketing idea that nobody will
Speaker 1: ever listen to me or give me credit for. They
Speaker 1: always don't. That's the EHL Hockey.
Speaker 12: Tonight, our beloved Cyclones are on the road against Iowa.
Speaker 12: Looks like former longtime Patriots defensive coordinator. Mac Patricia is
Speaker 12: getting the same job at Ohio State.
Speaker 1: How about Jim Tressel, How about that second in command
Speaker 1: in Ohio? How did that come? I mean did that?
Speaker 1: I mean, did anybody think about that? I don't know.
Speaker 12: I mean did you think when when I heard that?
Speaker 12: I went, what the maybe did.
Speaker 1: Mike and the job interview said, Jim, Yeah, have we
Speaker 1: cleared up tattoo gate? Has that finally been cleared up?
Speaker 1: That's right? We don't have any problems with that, right,
Speaker 1: no problems with that? We were okay? Yeah, say how
Speaker 1: about this, Oh Jame Joe Cocker, Oh Joe Cocker. That
Speaker 1: would be every time they sang, I thought it hurt.
Speaker 1: You know, he didn't. He didn't sing a lot of
Speaker 1: original stuff his art stuff, but he did great work
Speaker 1: with other people's stuff. Of course. Joe Cocker is nominated
Speaker 1: for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: About that, I don't think he'll get in. I don't
Speaker 1: think so. Okay, I think he'll eventually get in. Cindy
Speaker 1: Lapper get in. No, okay, we'll get in outcast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: carry'll get in.
Speaker 12: Yeah, uh, they'll have he sings that Christmas song Oasis
Speaker 12: will get in Okay, Yeah, but I don't know about Joe.
Speaker 1: You know, when you're dead, it's a little tough. I mean,
Speaker 1: I can't believe that Chubby Checkers not in there. Well
Speaker 1: he's up for you know, I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: mean I think he should have been in there a
Speaker 1: long time ago. Well, you know, the dance was like
Speaker 1: the dance craze in America, but it was sixty years ago.
Speaker 1: So most of the people that were dancing, they're dead.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, it's a little tough. When the grim reaper
Speaker 1: comes calling, right, oftentimes he takes your legacy with him,
Speaker 1: and so I made there are a lot of people
Speaker 1: that remember, but there are a lot of people that forget.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I'm just saying the music
Speaker 1: right well, yeah, I mean, I mean, my gosh, the
Speaker 1: Grammys two nights ago. I didn't watch it because it
Speaker 1: was an absolute freak show. But the Rock and Roll Awards,
Speaker 1: they didn't even televise him. The Rolling Stones won the
Speaker 1: Best Rock and Roll Album of twenty twenty four. They
Speaker 1: didn't even televise it wasn't part of the television. They
Speaker 1: awarded it to the Rolling Stones before the television event.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, then we're walking around, you know, people walking
Speaker 1: aroun around with their heads in television sets or whatever
Speaker 1: that guy was doing. I'm tired enough of this, I mean,
Speaker 1: the guy that then, And what about Kanye.
Speaker 12: West his wife? Well, you know, I mean that's not
Speaker 12: there in the imagination. I can guarantee you that.
Speaker 1: Let me just say this, Yeah, I probably wouldn't have
Speaker 1: any problem looking at it. But if you got to
Speaker 1: do that to get attention, that probably tells me you
Speaker 1: don't have a whole lot of time.
Speaker 12: And then that Will Smith's kid had a castle on
Speaker 12: his head.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. He had like it. Look his
Speaker 1: head was looked like.
Speaker 12: There's another there's another promotion for the reds wi Will
Speaker 12: Smith kid bought. No, I'm saying, get hats like that
Speaker 12: Riverfront Stadium, Synergy Field. Maybe when they imploded Synergy Field,
Speaker 12: get a hat around your head like that.
Speaker 1: Come on, I mean, come on, it's got to be something.
Speaker 1: There's money to be made at everything, sir, that's true.
Speaker 12: Also, Ken Brew, Yes, they run for the poll tonight
Speaker 12: at Daytona. Any Hamlin in practice today one hundred and
Speaker 12: eighty seven miles an hour and Bubba Wallace at one
Speaker 12: eighty six.

Speaker 1: three or Toyotas. Yeah, how about that? So Chevrolet and
Speaker 1: Florida Pabby screaming, Well we'll see. I don't know. You know,
Speaker 1: it's one thing to get the fastest, it's another thing
Speaker 1: to be there when the checker flag drops bingo. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like life. You can go through life, live fast,
Speaker 1: die hard, leave a nice corpse, or you could either
Speaker 1: be there for the long run. That's right, you're there
Speaker 1: for the long run. Anything else going on? I don't
Speaker 1: think so. I think that's enough. Well, Seg, why don't
Speaker 1: you get us out of the Stooge Report? Because I
Speaker 1: got Rocky's going to stick his head in here and
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about doze doge ken brew.

Speaker 1: I hope because that's if they are, That's that's fodder
Speaker 1: for the next cycle of election.
Speaker 4: Is that is that?
Speaker 1: The Is that the choir in the Senate? Exactly? Okay,
Speaker 1: that's the Elizabeth Warren five right there? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: say I gotta go the whole can Brook. You got
Speaker 1: that right, sip I'm rocking. Well, that's what I plan
Speaker 1: to do. You see if you see the microphone rocking,
Speaker 1: don't come and knocking on seven hundred two fifty four
Speaker 1: News Radio seven hundred WLW. One of the greatest presidents
Speaker 1: in the history of our country was Gerald Ford. In
Speaker 1: my opinion, he became president at a time of great peril,
Speaker 1: great uncertainty in this country, and he understood, I think
Speaker 1: down deep later in life, that all he served was
Speaker 1: as a bridge from the Nixon era and all of
Speaker 1: that turmoil to the peace and harmony of Ronald Reagan,
Speaker 1: with perhaps a little burpon between. From Jimmy Carter. I
Speaker 1: am more like that bridge. In that burp. All I
Speaker 1: do is just try and get this plane from one
Speaker 1: take off to one landing. And now I've landed, and
Speaker 1: what do you know, it's going to take off again
Speaker 1: with Rocky Moyman in the left seat and Eddie Fingers
Speaker 1: in the right. But before they go through their final checks,
Speaker 1: we have Rocket j Boyman with us right now. Rocky,
Speaker 1: how are you ken? You're the best?
Speaker 3: Brother?
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm great? If I'm the best. We
Speaker 1: need to find an thet No doubt, man, no doubt.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you about this doage thing. I
Speaker 1: ask a lot of people this, and I can't get
Speaker 1: a straight answer. But why do you think the Democrats
Speaker 1: are so so adamant about preventing anyone from doing a
Speaker 1: deep dive into their business, the business of government? What
Speaker 1: are they afraid of? What do they try to protect.
Speaker 5: Because they're afraid they're going to be next? I think
Speaker 5: everyone's you knew it.
Speaker 1: I knew it.
Speaker 5: A lot of people knew it for the longest time,
Speaker 5: like the government is wasting our money, right, you just
Speaker 5: knew it, but you couldn't prove it. And the beauty
Speaker 5: of Doge and Eon Musk is they have found the
Speaker 5: way through the various resources to expose that. And the
Speaker 5: folks that hate it, I mean it's hard to understand,
Speaker 5: but I think once you realize they know their next,
Speaker 5: They know their little project, their little money laundering, little
Speaker 5: thing that they had gone, their little cause that they
Speaker 5: gave to it is no longer going to be funded
Speaker 5: and it's going to be exposed. I think that's what
Speaker 5: they're afraid of. And for the longest time, it's funded
Speaker 5: these stupid programs.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, you know, folks you know in northern Ohio are
Speaker 5: still recovering from the you know, the train to Rema.
Speaker 5: You know, folks on the east and Napalachia are still
Speaker 5: recovering from the hurricane. You know, these people don't have
Speaker 5: money yet are our money, our taxpayer money is going
Speaker 5: to fund projects overseas to countries that don't even really
Speaker 5: like us. I think they realized their little project is next,
Speaker 5: and that's what they're scared of.
Speaker 1: Well, that money is going to illegal immigrants, and we
Speaker 1: just saw fifty four I think fifty nine million go
Speaker 1: to illegal immigrants through FEMA, which was a direct violation
Speaker 1: of what President Trump ordered as opposed to going to
Speaker 1: North Carolina, as opposed to going to even Los Angeles
Speaker 1: and those fires. But what they're doing is it's you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know who they think they're fooling. They're really not.
Speaker 1: I mean, with half a brain cell knows exactly what
Speaker 1: they're doing. For example, they're judge shopping. They're going to
Speaker 1: every single liberal judge they can find to stop Trump.
Speaker 1: They're going to every single judge they've gone to has
Speaker 1: either been appointed by Biden or Obama or Clinton. And
Speaker 1: they've gone to all of these judges. And the White
Speaker 1: House got some relief earlier today that will allow them
Speaker 1: some freezing of federal funds. But the fact is, I
Speaker 1: don't think they're fooling. They're not fooling anybody. Anybody that
Speaker 1: understands how this works know that you try and get
Speaker 1: somebody elected, and when you can't get somebody elected, then
Speaker 1: you go to the courts, and if the courts don't
Speaker 1: give you a relief, then you go to the media
Speaker 1: and you scream, Well, the person trying to do this
Speaker 1: is stand by for it because it's coming. This person
Speaker 1: is a racist, and that's what you're going to hear next.
Speaker 1: It's a playbook that they've used for decades. And I
Speaker 1: don't understand why they think they're going to get away
Speaker 1: with it this time. I really don't.
Speaker 5: I don't think they will because America has woken up.
Speaker 5: I think people have seen right through that the mainstream
Speaker 5: media that has lied to us for decades has been exposed.
Speaker 1: No one believes them.
Speaker 5: That they shot themselves in the foot with you know,
Speaker 5: countless things that they've ignored and things that they tried
Speaker 5: to say weren't true but turned out to be, you know,
Speaker 5: that sort of things. They ruined all their credibility, so
Speaker 5: no one believes them. So even as loud as they
Speaker 5: may scream about something, no one listens to what they're saying.
Speaker 5: And you know, here we are, I mean, I mean, say,
Speaker 5: how can anybody be against finding government waste?
Speaker 1: And most people are not.
Speaker 5: Eighty probably eighty five percent of Americans are screaming, yeah,
Speaker 5: go get it, go find mores.
Speaker 1: We know it's been there.
Speaker 5: So now the folks they find themselves in the precarious
Speaker 5: position of being against folks that are finding government waste
Speaker 5: and that the average American can't relate to that person,
Speaker 5: so they're even further on the island.
Speaker 1: Well, I am the average Americans seeing here today filling
Speaker 1: in for the great American And of course you and Rocky,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you and Eddie are just a few seconds away.
Speaker 1: What's on the program today? What are we going to hear?
Speaker 1: What is going to be the first topic that we'll
Speaker 1: be able to chew on here right after the news?
Speaker 5: So right out of the gate, we have a Nick
Speaker 5: onianaka's local restaurant guy going to talk about you know,
Speaker 5: this economy is starting to get kickstarted here, but a
Speaker 5: lot of folks, especially in the restaurant industry, are finding
Speaker 5: it hard to find people that can work or want
Speaker 5: to work. They're not able to fill their workforce, and
Speaker 5: it's hard to understand why because COVID was what four
Speaker 5: years ago, five years ago, so that that excuse can't
Speaker 5: be there anymore. So what is the reason we'll talk
Speaker 5: to Nick about that minute four o'clock, we're going to
Speaker 5: talk to Bill Dendy.
Speaker 1: I think an interesting topic.
Speaker 5: Trump, of course, came out last week and said, or
Speaker 5: maybe beginning of this week. It's hard to keep track
Speaker 5: because things happening so fast with him, but I think
Speaker 5: it was Monday. I said he's going to do away
Speaker 5: with a penny. And I believe he said it cost
Speaker 5: two cents to make penny. I believe the real number
Speaker 5: is like three point six cents to make one penny.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get rid of it. What does that look like?
Speaker 1: How will that work?
Speaker 5: We'll talk to a little bit Dendy about that, and
Speaker 5: then we will have the average American, say the great American,
Speaker 5: maybe the average American Willie. He's gonna he's gonna call
Speaker 5: in from the bunker from the five o'cock. Yeah, go
Speaker 5: to call in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Defy took those octogenarians money on the golf course
Speaker 1: today in Florida. He's gonna call him least them for
Speaker 1: all their money.
Speaker 5: And then he's gonna he's gonna call a collect here
Speaker 5: to the studio, of course, and uh, we'll talk to
Speaker 5: him at five.
Speaker 1: Well, you two have a great show because you deserve
Speaker 1: nothing less rockets. Stay well, you two can thank you, Levy.
Speaker 1: I said, Hi, yes, on seven hundred W WELLW
