Speaker 1: I got to bike one seven hundred w l W
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll in for Bill Cunningham. When I knew I
Speaker 1: was going to do the Cunningham Show the day after
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, I thought to myself, I've got to
Speaker 1: I've got to talk super Bowl after the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and uh, I've got to have some really good analysis
Speaker 1: on this because this is going to be a game.
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got you've got the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: going through our three peet, You've got Philadelphia that has
Speaker 1: played so well all year long. This game is going
Speaker 1: to be epic. It's going to be on thinking unlike
Speaker 1: anything we've ever seen. So I knew I needed good
Speaker 1: analysis on this game. And that's why I asked Moe
Speaker 1: Weger to come into the studio today. And Moe, it's
Speaker 1: good to see you. Who'd you ask first? Who did
Speaker 1: I ask first place?
Speaker 2: If you wanted good analysis, you had to have asked
Speaker 2: somebody first.
Speaker 1: No, you were the first one I thought of. And
Speaker 1: you're a regular on the Cunningham Show too, So then
Speaker 1: the people love you, man, they love your Analosa.
Speaker 3: Debatable, but how could.
Speaker 1: When you had when you had a super Bowl like
Speaker 1: this that set up to be so promising and set
Speaker 1: up to be uh such, you know, so many great storylines,
Speaker 1: so many great intangibles in this game, uh so many,
Speaker 1: so many great possibilities for such a great game, and
Speaker 1: then it turns into a curb stomping mm hmm, how
Speaker 1: does it?
Speaker 2: How did that happen? Philadelphia is dramatically better. You know,
Speaker 2: the the the narrative for two weeks was, Okay, Philly's
Speaker 2: got the better team, got the better roster, but the
Speaker 2: Kansas City has Patrick Mahomes. So where you're going to
Speaker 2: put your money is that the the all time great coach,
Speaker 2: the all time great quarterback, or the team that I
Speaker 2: think everybody would have agreed going in has definitively the
Speaker 2: better roster, but also with a really good quarterback as
Speaker 2: well in Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 3: And so you start with there.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Tom Brady talked about it a lot during the broadcast
Speaker 2: last night. Philadelphia wreaking havoc up front without blitzing, which
Speaker 2: means man versus man. They were just kicking the tails
Speaker 2: of the Kansas City Chiefs. So start there and then
Speaker 2: continue through. I've never seen anything like what I saw
Speaker 2: from Patrick Mahomes last night. Here is a guy considered
Speaker 2: the best player in the game, right the best player
Speaker 2: in the sport right now?
Speaker 3: He is sure right now.
Speaker 2: I've never seen a player considered the best game in
Speaker 2: the sport play that poorly on that size of a stage. Now,
Speaker 2: he was hit a lot. Kansas City's offensive line is
Speaker 2: a mess. But the reason Kansas City was going to
Speaker 2: win the game was Patrick Mahomes was going to be superman.
Speaker 2: It was abundantly clear a quarter into the game. He
Speaker 2: didn't bring us cape. You knew Philadelphia had the better team.
Speaker 2: You knew Philadelphia can maybe control the clock. You knew
Speaker 2: that Philadelphia's offense if you said we're gonna sell out
Speaker 2: and try to stop Saquon Barkley, you knew they had
Speaker 2: downfield threats what you figured would be the equalizer and
Speaker 2: at least keep it close. For Kansas City was going
Speaker 2: to be Patrick Mahomes' superman, and he wasn't last night.
Speaker 2: I've never seen We've seen really good quarterbacks play poorly
Speaker 2: in super Bowls. We've seen league MVPs played poorly in
Speaker 2: super Bowls. I'm not sure we've seen that a guy
Speaker 2: who's considered the best player in the sport, maybe the
Speaker 2: greatest of all time lay that large of a clunker.
Speaker 2: He didn't just play poorly. Look the numbers will skew
Speaker 2: it because he threw a couple of garbage time passes.
Speaker 2: He looked scared in the pocket, he looked unsure of himself.
Speaker 2: He missed some easy throws. He made some very Unpatrick
Speaker 2: Mahomes like mistakes. I I was shocked by what I
Speaker 2: saw from him last night. So if you take those
Speaker 2: two factors, Philadelphia's obviously better. Kansas City needs a superhero
Speaker 2: performance from their quarterback. When one thing was true and
Speaker 2: the other thing wasn't, it adds up to a blowout.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And you know, and I was watching that, and we
Speaker 1: were getting towards you know, late in the third quarter,
Speaker 1: but around the fourth quarter, and I was thinking to myself,
Speaker 1: you know, it's really such a shame that this game
Speaker 1: is so lopsided because it takes away I think some
Speaker 1: of the honest analysis about how good Philadelphia really is.
Speaker 1: Does that make any sense that if this would have
Speaker 1: been a game where there was a back and forth
Speaker 1: and a tight game, three point four point five point game,
Speaker 1: and it came down to not necessarily the last play,
Speaker 1: but just a closer, tight knit battle where there was
Speaker 1: give and take, and I think that would have enhanced
Speaker 1: Philadelphia's stature a little bit more as opposed to it
Speaker 1: being a complete player.
Speaker 2: I don't know, because I felt like going in, if
Speaker 2: you said to anybody, I said on my show, I
Speaker 2: like Philadelphia by ten because I'm taking the better team
Speaker 2: and at some point I feel like Kansas City's flaws
Speaker 2: are going to catch up to him. The counter to
Speaker 2: that would be the Mahomes trump card, and so I
Speaker 2: think people played that lead and I understand why I
Speaker 2: looked they had won the previous two. Mahomes is an
Speaker 2: all time great, Andy Reid is a Hall of Fame coach.
Speaker 2: But I kind of felt like going into the game,
Speaker 2: you could make the case for Philadelphia from a physical standpoint,
Speaker 2: from a strategic standpoint, from a schematics standpoint, even from
Speaker 2: a quarterback standpoint, from a versatility with what they can
Speaker 2: do offensively standpoint, I think you could point to all
Speaker 2: these areas where Philadelphia had clear strengths that outweighed what
Speaker 2: Kansas City brought to the table. But the trump card
Speaker 2: was gonna be Yeah, but Mahomes, well, in the absence
Speaker 2: of being able to play that trump card because he
Speaker 2: played poorly last night. I think now you look into
Speaker 2: Philadelphia and go ok number one, how they build this roster,
Speaker 2: number two, how they rebound from a collapse last season?
Speaker 2: What do we do with Jalen Hurts in this conversation
Speaker 2: and you think about it. Twenty twenty draft Jalen Hurts
Speaker 2: taken the same year as Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert to
Speaker 2: a teg of VLOI he's got a ring. Those other
Speaker 2: guys not so much. What does it say about the
Speaker 2: value of running backs? With Sakuwan Barkley in the season
Speaker 2: he had where he was an MVP finalist, he didn't
Speaker 2: do much last night. I think them winning that game
Speaker 2: the way they did opens up a lot of conversations
Speaker 2: if you think about it. All season long, we didn't
Speaker 2: talk a ton about the Philadelphia Eagles, even you know
Speaker 2: they came here in late October. That was kind of
Speaker 2: a game we just overlooked, right, Bengals going to host
Speaker 2: the Eagles, that's sort of a game we overlooked. In
Speaker 2: the NFC, the darlings of the season were the teams
Speaker 2: from the NFC North Detroit, Minnesota to a degree, and
Speaker 2: so I feel like last night in a sense, was
Speaker 2: kind of their coming out party, where you look at
Speaker 2: that team, look at how they built it, look at
Speaker 2: what they did up front, look at what they did
Speaker 2: with their with their defense, look what they've surrounded their
Speaker 2: quarterback with. And I think today they're getting their flowers
Speaker 2: that they weren't getting in the two weeks leading up
Speaker 2: to the game, because all a lot of people wanted
Speaker 2: to talk about was Patrick Mahomes and a three.
Speaker 1: P Well, and it's not just Pactor Mahomes, but it's
Speaker 1: a it's it's a head coach Andy Reid too, because
Speaker 1: how many times during the course of this season did
Speaker 1: we see where Kansas City was in a tough spot
Speaker 1: and you picked the game and they found a way
Speaker 1: to overcome that and sometimes not overcome that, but put
Speaker 1: the pedal on the accelerator and blow way past the opposition.
Speaker 1: And so I think there was ale at least I
Speaker 1: know I was thinking this last night. You know, Philadelphia
Speaker 1: is up by two scores, they're up by three scores,
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, well, we know that Kansas City can
Speaker 1: turn it on a dime, and I'm thinking they're going
Speaker 1: to get some points on the board before halftime, We're
Speaker 1: going to see a really competitive second half, and of
Speaker 1: course that never happened.
Speaker 2: I think when Mahomes threw his second pick, it was
Speaker 2: it was hard for me at that point to imagine
Speaker 2: Kansas City being good enough to come back because I
Speaker 2: think you felt like, excuse me, Philadelphia is still going
Speaker 2: to score, and they did. But that was kind of
Speaker 2: the question about the Chiefs all season long. Look, give
Speaker 2: them credit for getting there. They were fifteen and two,
Speaker 2: really fifteen and one in the regular season. They're on
Speaker 2: this AFC dynastic run, which you have to give credit to,
Speaker 2: but if you watch them during the season, they weren't dominant, right,
Speaker 2: and you kept wondering, when are some of their flaws
Speaker 2: going to catch up to them?
Speaker 5: When is the.
Speaker 2: Bad pass protection going to catch up to him? And
Speaker 2: it caught up last night. When is maybe Travis Kelsey's
Speaker 2: age going to catch up to him? You know, I mean,
Speaker 2: he's he's a guy for all of his renown and
Speaker 2: he is going to be in Canton one day and
Speaker 2: you know he's a bona fide star, but he looks slow.
Speaker 2: When is that going to catch up to him? When
Speaker 2: are maybe some of their issues on defense which they
Speaker 2: didn't have a ton. They agreed defense all season long,
Speaker 2: but when are their fatal flaws going to catch up
Speaker 2: to him? I kind of wondered, is it going to
Speaker 2: happen against the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 3: It didn't.
Speaker 2: I thought, you know, what, what does it look like
Speaker 2: if it happens against the Houston Texans.
Speaker 5: It didn't.
Speaker 2: It caught up to him last night against the best
Speaker 2: team they have played all season long.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Saikwon Barkley. I'm looking at the stat line right here,
Speaker 1: twenty five carries fifty seven yards. Someone tells you that
Speaker 1: before the game, You're thinking, well, Man's that's a big
Speaker 1: deal for against You.
Speaker 2: Would have said to any Chiefs fan, Saquan's going to
Speaker 2: end up with less than three yards of carry. They
Speaker 2: probably think Kansas City wins. But what you saw as
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts made plays with his arm, he made plays
Speaker 2: with his legs, and he had, you know, the deep
Speaker 2: ball when it was twenty four to nothing that sort
Speaker 2: of iced the game at that point, made it thirty
Speaker 2: one zip. And you know he is is he a
Speaker 2: passer on the level of Patrick Mahomes or Joe Burrow
Speaker 2: or John or even Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3: No, but he's masterful playing the quarterback position. He was
Speaker 3: deserving MVP last night.
Speaker 1: So a team like Kansas City, how worthy is it
Speaker 1: of the rest of the league watching what they do?
Speaker 1: Because they were good enough obviously to get to the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl when it mattered most, they couldn't bring what
Speaker 1: they had to the table. If we see if they
Speaker 1: do they make major changes in the offseason, do they
Speaker 1: just find a couple of different pieces, do they tweak
Speaker 1: a couple of things. The amount of changes that they
Speaker 1: make between now and the start of next season is
Speaker 1: going to tell us what well, I.
Speaker 2: Think it's it's going to remind us a lot of
Speaker 2: what they did after they lost the Super Bowl to
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers at the end of the twenty season, because
Speaker 2: if you remember that game, their lack of pass protection
Speaker 2: was striking and then what did they do in subsequent
Speaker 2: years got it fixed? And so I don't think you know,
Speaker 2: last night was not the end of the Chiefs making
Speaker 2: a run. I think offensive like, could you give Patrick
Speaker 2: Mahomes a good running back and one that you can
Speaker 2: count on? Like last night, they just chose not to
Speaker 2: run the football, which didn't make a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: Is Xavier worthy going to rise to the level of
Speaker 2: a clear number one wide receiver. You know, he had
Speaker 2: a statistically great game last night. A lot of his
Speaker 2: yards kind of came after the fact. But I'll go
Speaker 2: back to what they did when they they lost to
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers at the end of the twenty twenty season.
Speaker 2: You know, the story was Tom Brady winning his seventh
Speaker 2: but really the backstory of that game to me was
Speaker 2: Kansas City's got to figure out a way to keep
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes upright. Last night, they struggle with pass protection,
Speaker 2: so I would I would look to see what they
Speaker 2: do there. And then also it's going to be interesting
Speaker 2: to me. You know, Patrick Mahomes, considered the best player
Speaker 2: in the sport, was not an MVP finalist. Why his
Speaker 2: play this season was kind of uneven? What does he
Speaker 2: do this offseason to get him back to a point
Speaker 2: where he is considered an MVP candidate.
Speaker 3: Because he was not this year?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think of Kansas City, and I
Speaker 1: think of a team that looks like they draw it,
Speaker 1: plays in the dirt more than anyone else, you know,
Speaker 1: and they couldn't even fall back on that last night.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, Philadelphia is good. I mean Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: I think, I think what I'm what I'm overlooking here
Speaker 1: is that Philadelphia is just really really good.
Speaker 2: Look, they were in the Super Bowl two years ago
Speaker 2: for a reason. They had a ten and one record
Speaker 2: last year and then things kind of fell apart. They
Speaker 2: have a GM who put together the team that in
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen won the whole thing.
Speaker 5: Then there was a tear down.
Speaker 2: They've been in two of the last three Super Bowls
Speaker 2: and it doesn't look like they're going anywhere anytime soon.
Speaker 2: The name from that team last night that I watched
Speaker 2: that I would pay attention to is Milton Williams because
Speaker 2: he's a free agent. He plays a position the Bengals
Speaker 2: should be addressing. Does does what happen? Does what happened
Speaker 2: last night? Does what happened last night? How?
Speaker 4: How?
Speaker 3: What? What do?
Speaker 1: If you're the if you're the Bengals GM, what do
Speaker 1: you glean from last night that puts you in a
Speaker 1: better position heading in the.
Speaker 2: I want a front that looks and plays like that,
Speaker 2: because when you can play Philadelphia's defensive line, yeah, well,
Speaker 2: and and their defensive line, because to me, when you
Speaker 2: could just win at the point of attack and you
Speaker 2: don't have to blitz suddenly, you know, we can do
Speaker 2: anything we want the back end, and and Philadelphia did
Speaker 2: last night. I want to build a pass rush in
Speaker 2: a defensive line. We love Trey Hendrickson, right, but I
Speaker 2: I want to win with the whole of the parts
Speaker 2: up front. Philadelphia did that last night. They've they've prioritized
Speaker 2: that area of their team. Uh, they've. Last night was
Speaker 2: kind of an advertisement for Georgia football up front for
Speaker 2: for Philadelphia. But to me, that's that's the takeaway, Like,
Speaker 2: you can neutralize any offense if you could put pressure
Speaker 2: on the quarterback, and if you could do so without
Speaker 2: having to reinvent the wheel, even better, and that's what
Speaker 2: Philadelphia did last night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, aside from the game, how are you with all
Speaker 1: the all the other elements surrounding the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3: Fine? Yeah, fine.
Speaker 2: I didn't get a chance to watch much of the
Speaker 2: pregame show, which was like nine and a half hours.
Speaker 3: I did see.
Speaker 2: I did see the real creepy Jimmy Johnson AI thing.
Speaker 2: That's one of the most bizarre things I've I did
Speaker 2: not see that all of that For him to announce
Speaker 2: that he doesn't know if he's going to retire or
Speaker 2: not that was that was kind of strange.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: My favorite commercial was the dunkin Donut Spot, the Dunk King,
Speaker 2: The dunk King. Yeah, they breed new life in this
Speaker 2: because you got Bill Belichick to participation. I think Belichick
Speaker 2: had the best line at all. Looks like something in
Speaker 2: my Garbage's muzzle. I I I just unfortunately it was
Speaker 2: a dot of a game, and at the end of
Speaker 2: the day for me, that's you know, if if the
Speaker 2: game is good, it amplifies all the other stuff. The
Speaker 2: game itself, unfortunately, was was not very good. The entire
Speaker 2: Fox broadcast. I'll tell you what the big takeaway from me,
Speaker 2: and this is as a like a nerd, a media nerd.
Speaker 1: The Square graphic, Oh I was, I was. I was
Speaker 1: fixated on that too.
Speaker 2: Have you ever watched it like a like a ninth
Speaker 2: grade basketball game on public access?
Speaker 3: That's what it looked like. That's what it looked like.
Speaker 1: I was like, they've taken graft expects in twenty five
Speaker 1: thirty years and for crying out line my.
Speaker 2: When my wife is commenting on that sort of stuff,
Speaker 2: you know it's bad because she looked at me. She's like,
Speaker 2: they pulled that off an eighties video game. I'm like,
Speaker 2: good job, all right? Yeah, no, I thought it was Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: it was not good. I thought it was like there
Speaker 2: was a mistake, like what they wanted to use didn't work,
Speaker 2: so they just cobbled something up at the last second.
Speaker 2: And here it is Philadelphia, Kansas City, and we'll bring
Speaker 2: the score bug that we meant to use back here
Speaker 2: as soon as we can. No, that's they they signed
Speaker 2: off on that. Yeah, that was remarkable.
Speaker 1: I would like to talk to David Ashbrock and and
Speaker 1: see what what the decision making process was.
Speaker 3: It would be interesting on those lines. Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3: I should call them and get his taking. You should.
Speaker 1: That was pretty good. Yeah, talk about the bar. We
Speaker 1: got a couple of minutes here talking about the bear
Speaker 1: Cats a little bit. Yeah, you know, did the post
Speaker 1: dodgeball game. It looks like they've they've become a little
Speaker 1: bit of a different team, especially the second half against
Speaker 1: b YU was very impressive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, second half.
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, they they went in down three and
Speaker 2: halftime they were shooting sixty three percent, but they had
Speaker 2: eight turnovers. So by you storm back late in the
Speaker 2: first half, they take a three point lead, and it
Speaker 2: kind of feels like, all right, again, the season hanging
Speaker 2: by a thread, and then what did the Bearcats stop doing?
Speaker 2: They stopped turning the ball over and played maybe their
Speaker 2: best ten minute stretch of the season to start the
Speaker 2: second half, and they they've at least put themselves back
Speaker 2: in a position where you could start to talk about, Okay,
Speaker 2: if they can do this, they can have their name
Speaker 2: called on selection Sunday. They have a game tomorrow night
Speaker 2: against against a Utah at home that I think they
Speaker 2: have to win. But more than you knowall college basketball
Speaker 2: fans love bracketology and all that sort of stuff and
Speaker 2: projecting what seed this team might be, I've always been
Speaker 2: more interested in the peer basketball part of it. They're
Speaker 2: playing faster, they're playing looser. The point guard play has
Speaker 2: been outstanding the last two games, and whether it was
Speaker 2: dodgeball or Wes Miller just telling these guys to play faster,
Speaker 2: whatever it was, it has worked. Obviously, it's a small
Speaker 2: sample size. They dug themselves quite a whole by losing
Speaker 2: eight out of ten games, but they are starting to
Speaker 2: play better, at least over the last eighty minutes, and
Speaker 2: hopefully it continues tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean a couple more wins. Yeah, and I'm not.
Speaker 1: They're not really to the point where they feel like
Speaker 1: they have to win out, but they do need to
Speaker 1: strength them together.
Speaker 2: So they've got eight games remaining. Two are going to
Speaker 2: be really, really hard. Iowa stayed in Houston, both on
Speaker 2: the road. Those are top five teams in the country,
Speaker 2: so that's gonna be tough. Can they win the other six?
Speaker 2: Can they go to West Virginia and win? Can they
Speaker 2: beat Baylor here, a team they lost to by twenty five,
Speaker 2: They lost to b HYU by twenty eight and then
Speaker 2: whacked them here. I think it's going to come down
Speaker 2: to those two because I think they can win tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I think they will beat they play TCU on their schedule.
Speaker 2: I think they If they go six and two, they're good.
Speaker 2: They're a five hundred team in the Big twelve. But
Speaker 2: that's still a lot to ask for a team that
Speaker 2: has really played inconsistently. But they do offensively. The way
Speaker 2: they've played the last two games has been encouraging, and
Speaker 2: there's more reason for optimism than there was a week
Speaker 2: ago at this time.
Speaker 3: All Right, Yeah, you're on fifteen thirty three o'clock this afternoon.
Speaker 3: Unless I'm told otherwise, yes, you will not be told.
Speaker 3: You never could ever know. So how much super Bowl
Speaker 3: talk do you do? You do this afternoon fair amount.
Speaker 2: You know, we got a little of everything that I
Speaker 2: pictures and catchers reporting ind college shoots, but the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl will be talked about extensively. I think from a
Speaker 2: Bengals perspective, I said this, I was rooting for Philadelphia
Speaker 2: because if Mahomes gets his fourth, he becomes more and
Speaker 2: more difficult to catch. Right at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow is going to be measured against Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: I don't want Joe Burrow to be Peyton Manning because
Speaker 2: I think Burrow's going to win one. But Manning's got
Speaker 2: too dwarfed by Brady seven. So I don't want to
Speaker 2: be I don't want Burrow to be Mahomes Manning. It's
Speaker 2: hard to get me hard enough to win one, it's
Speaker 2: gonna be really hard to win three. I'm glad. I
Speaker 2: think Kansas City fans needed a just tall drink of
Speaker 2: like humility.
Speaker 3: They got it.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't think it was with that first the
Speaker 1: first pass interference call, here we go, here we go,
Speaker 1: here we go. Then and then they got one back
Speaker 1: on the next series. But yeah, well that did.
Speaker 3: Credit to the Eagles.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: Uh, it's a great organization. Howie Roseman is perhaps the
Speaker 2: best front office executive in the NFL. To win it
Speaker 2: and then sort of swap out coaches, swap out quarterbacks,
Speaker 2: do a whole roster overhaul and be back within five
Speaker 2: years and then win it two years later is really
Speaker 2: pretty remarkable.
Speaker 1: All right, mo, I always appreciate it. Mat You got
Speaker 1: it as always. Yes, all right, we'll talk to you
Speaker 1: next time. Dan Carroll for Bill Cunningham. Seven hundred WLW
Speaker 1: back on the Big One, seven hundred WLW twelve thirty eight.
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll in for Bill Cunningham. We roll until three
Speaker 1: this afternoon. Coming up at one oh five after the
Speaker 1: news at one o'clock, brad Winstrip is going to be
Speaker 1: my guest, and we'll talk about all things happening with
Speaker 1: Trump and get his take. I'm really interested to get
Speaker 1: his take on all the news that has been happening
Speaker 1: as it relates to the new presidential administration. So I
Speaker 1: am certainly looking forward to that. So this past Friday,
Speaker 1: there was you know, by now, there was a demonstration.
Speaker 1: You had about a dozen or so pretty dense and
Speaker 1: ignorant individuals who wanted to I guess, I guess they
Speaker 1: are white supremacists.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know that anyone talked to them, or interviewed
Speaker 1: or got any got any questions in for any of
Speaker 1: those individuals who were up on the overpass there outside
Speaker 1: of Lincoln Heights. I believe they might have been closer
Speaker 1: to Evendale, but in any case, they were out there
Speaker 1: over the highway with their Nazi flags and their white
Speaker 1: supremacist accouterma and all the rest of it. And there
Speaker 1: was about a dozen twelve thirteen, I'm not sure what
Speaker 1: the exact numbers. And Scott Sloane was having interview about
Speaker 1: about this incident with a member I believe was a
Speaker 1: member of the city council. They're in Lincoln Heights, and
Speaker 1: I gotta say the response from this community has been well,
Speaker 1: I would consider to be extremely unified and unified, not
Speaker 1: extremely unified, but just you don't need to qualify unified
Speaker 1: in that this community stands against that sort of thing
Speaker 1: and the sort of thing that they represent. I don't
Speaker 1: think we stand against their right to behave in such ways.
Speaker 1: We stand against the notion of violence. We stand against
Speaker 1: the notion that that they want to intimidate people, So
Speaker 1: we stand against all of that. And I think it
Speaker 1: was interesting the comments that the individual that Scodsan was
Speaker 1: speaking to that they have videos that appears to.
Speaker 3: Well, I haven't.
Speaker 1: Seen the video, so I don't know what it shows,
Speaker 1: but they are going to present that to see if
Speaker 1: that video is a conduit to for the prosecution of
Speaker 1: these individuals, and I certainly hope that they make a
Speaker 1: good presentation and that those concerns are taken seriously, which
Speaker 1: I have no indication to think that they will not
Speaker 1: be taken seriously. We have a brand new prosecutor in
Speaker 1: Hamilton County, and I think this would be something good
Speaker 1: for County Pillach to get out in front of maybe
Speaker 1: take the lead on this, maybe oversee things from her
Speaker 1: office and make sure that the investigation is quick, that
Speaker 1: it's thorough, and that if there were any violations of
Speaker 1: the law as it relates to having a where these
Speaker 1: individuals were allowed to be what they did, if there was,
Speaker 1: and I don't know what the current hate crime statutes are,
Speaker 1: but if any of that was involved, I would like
Speaker 1: to see you. I think this would be a good
Speaker 1: opportunity for Connie Pillach to take the leap.
Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens on it.
Speaker 1: But I would just say that I think, without exception,
Speaker 1: the response to these individuals has been united, and that
Speaker 1: was one of the things. And I'm going to end
Speaker 1: the two o'clock hour. I'll be doing my review, my
Speaker 1: annual review. I do it every year. This year, I'm
Speaker 1: doing it on The Cunningham Show because I happen to
Speaker 1: be doing The Cunningham Show the day after the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: But I do it every year. I review the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl commercials. Me and my buddy Steve Oldfield. We get
Speaker 1: together and we watched the commercials and we talk about
Speaker 1: and I will reveal what I think my favorite commercial
Speaker 1: was when we get to that. That'll be in the
Speaker 1: two o'clock hour this afternoon, and i'd also like to
Speaker 1: hear from you if you had a favorite commercial.
Speaker 3: Super Bowl commercials.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're the big deal that they used
Speaker 1: to be, but it is something of interest that I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people look at. I know I
Speaker 1: do every year because I'm advertising. Is one of the
Speaker 1: things that I'm interested in, and how these different products
Speaker 1: choose to represent themselves. And the sort of creativity that
Speaker 1: can go into creating an ad that is memorable, and
Speaker 1: I think that is something that can be very effective
Speaker 1: and it's kind of fun too. So we'll be doing
Speaker 1: that in the two o'clock hour. But I think I
Speaker 1: just got off my I just go off my train
Speaker 1: of thought here thinking about that great poll numbers for
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, highest approval ratings yet CBS News poll or
Speaker 1: poll I should say, came out on Sunday, fifty three
Speaker 1: percent of voters approving of the trump Ster and his
Speaker 1: leadership so far, just weeks into his second term. Voters
Speaker 1: believe that Trump has followed through on his campaign vowels
Speaker 1: regarding issues like immigration, foreign affairs, eliminating government waste. Margaret
Speaker 1: Brennan on CBS's Faced the Nation open the show by
Speaker 1: discussing their new poll on voters feelings towards Trump and
Speaker 1: showed that the majority not only approved, but seventy percent
Speaker 1: seventy percent believe that he is sticking to his campaign vowels.
Speaker 1: So that is good news for Trump. And then I had, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know it was, I well, I guess it was.
Speaker 1: One day last week, had an individual call my nighttime,
Speaker 1: my nighttime show. And I think the phrase that he
Speaker 1: used was that I carry water for Trump, that all
Speaker 1: I am is a Trump cheerleader. And I tried to
Speaker 1: tell this person that have been multiple occasions where I
Speaker 1: have disagreed with something that Trump did a particular policy,
Speaker 1: particular decision, the most recent having been when Trump gave
Speaker 1: a blanket pardon to all those who were involved in
Speaker 1: what happened at the Capitol on January sixth. And I
Speaker 1: thought to myself, and I said on this radio station
Speaker 1: numerous times, that I wish he would have taken the
Speaker 1: time to find those individuals who engaged with police that
Speaker 1: may have fought with police, either punch, kick, fighting, whatever,
Speaker 1: those individuals who engaged in that sort of behavior. I
Speaker 1: would have preferred that he would have taken a little
Speaker 1: time find those individuals and seen to it that they
Speaker 1: perhaps did not get a part. I don't think if
Speaker 1: you attack a cop or law enforcement, I don't think
Speaker 1: you deserve a pardon. I think that's pretty cut and dry.
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty plain and simple, and I wish
Speaker 1: you would have taken the time to do that. So
Speaker 1: here's another issue that I where I have a bit
Speaker 1: of a disagreement with Trump. And as you know, seventeen
Speaker 1: inspector generals were fired last week by the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: And it's just about every agency has an inspector General
Speaker 1: that has oversight of the agency, reports regularly to Congress,
Speaker 1: you know, and they look for anything that I don't
Speaker 1: think they I don't think they look for things that
Speaker 1: are just going wrong, but they look for things that
Speaker 1: they're that you make sure they're doing things the right way.
Speaker 1: There is one inspector general, and this is a special
Speaker 1: Inspector General, the s i g. A is called the
Speaker 1: c Guard for short, the Specter in General for Afghanistan Reconstruction,
Speaker 1: the SEGAR. The guy's name is John Sopco. He was
Speaker 1: among those recently fired as part of the seventeen inspector
Speaker 1: generals being fired. And John Sopco is a guy I
Speaker 1: have talked about many times on this radio station, during
Speaker 1: the times I filled in for Cunningham and during the
Speaker 1: times I've done my own show. And I think John
Speaker 1: Sopco is one of those in Washington who has been
Speaker 1: doing a very good job, who has been doing everything
Speaker 1: he can with the tools that he has to use.
Speaker 1: And spector generals don't just have carte blanche to do
Speaker 1: whatever they want in their position, they are bound by
Speaker 1: certain rules and they do not have to really do
Speaker 1: as thorough and investigation as they may need to do
Speaker 1: on a particular issue. They've got some rules and regulations
Speaker 1: that they have to follow. That that sort of hamstring
Speaker 1: that crippled them a little bit from really doing everything
Speaker 1: they need to do. And there have been many times
Speaker 1: when Sopko has testified in front of Congress, and I've
Speaker 1: been very impressed with his testimony. And he talked many
Speaker 1: times about the money that we sent to Afghanistan, and
Speaker 1: he talked many times about how that money and that
Speaker 1: aid sent by Americans is not getting to where it
Speaker 1: needs to go and in fact was winding up helping
Speaker 1: out the Taliban in Afghanistan. And he also talked about
Speaker 1: how there were times when he requested documents or sought
Speaker 1: help from the Biden administration that he got stonewalled, that
Speaker 1: he was, you know, did not get cooperation from other
Speaker 1: parts of the government when he needed that cooperation to
Speaker 1: further his legitimate oversight and his legitimate investigations. So I
Speaker 1: don't know that anyone on the the Trump team is
Speaker 1: going to review these firings, I certainly hope they do.
Speaker 1: And I just know that this one, Inspector General John Sopco,
Speaker 1: was doing at least I thought he was doing an
Speaker 1: excellent job, and I think they might want to reconsider
Speaker 1: that one. So I don't disagree with Trump a lot,
Speaker 1: but when I do, I'm going to say so. And
Speaker 1: I've done it many times before and I will continue
Speaker 1: to do it throughout this presidency. So the notion that
Speaker 1: I just sit here and carry water for Trump no
Speaker 1: matter what. And I don't know if that individual is
Speaker 1: listening right now, but if you are, I hope you
Speaker 1: can at least put that one in the memory banks.
Speaker 3: What else? What else?
Speaker 1: Aer traffic all this and the amount of news that
Speaker 1: came out over the weekend, it was astounding, you.
Speaker 3: Know, I had all these people complain.
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of complaints over the weekend about
Speaker 1: Trump taking I guess he flew to down to Florida
Speaker 1: on Friday night, played some golf, played golf with Tiger
Speaker 1: Woods over the weekend. I think he actually played on
Speaker 1: Sunday before he went to the Super Bowl. But I
Speaker 1: saw a lot of people complaining about that. Oh, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's on vacation oh, he's taking time off. It is
Speaker 1: costing all this money. Really, after what we saw the
Speaker 1: last four years and how often this guy was on
Speaker 1: the beach or at Camp David or absent from the
Speaker 1: White House. After all that, you're really going to complain about,
Speaker 1: after everything that Trump has done from January twentieth on
Speaker 1: that he went down to mar A Lago Friday night,
Speaker 1: spent the weekend down there, played some golf on Sunday
Speaker 1: before going to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: So one of the things.
Speaker 1: That came out over the weekend was air traffic controllers
Speaker 1: are speaking up about what has been going on with
Speaker 1: the FAA and they're hiring practices, and they say that
Speaker 1: the FAA's hiring practices and immunity program have led to
Speaker 1: problems such as those that have been resulted in the
Speaker 1: recent mid air collision near the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
Speaker 1: The FAA's focus on diversity, equity and Inclusion DEI hiring
Speaker 1: practices has resulted in the employment of less qualified air
Speaker 1: traffic controllers and a staffing shortage. Former air traffic controllers
Speaker 1: say this is in addition to an immunity program that
Speaker 1: fails to hold air traffic controllers accountable for their mistakes
Speaker 1: and are likely contributing factors to American Airlines or the
Speaker 1: American Airlines playing that collided with the military helicopter on
Speaker 1: January twenty ninth, and you know what happened as a
Speaker 1: result of that. So this is air traffic controllers who
Speaker 1: were there on the inside, breaking ranks, breaking their silence
Speaker 1: and telling in this case it was John Solomon and
Speaker 1: Justin News about what they witnessed while they were there.
Speaker 1: There is also a lawsuit that has been filed and
Speaker 1: this was reported in on the bon Jina Report and
Speaker 1: this lawsuit. Nearly one thousand air traffic control applicants who
Speaker 1: were allegedly affected by diversity, equity and inclusion hiring practices
Speaker 1: brought this lawsuit saying that they were turned down from
Speaker 1: being air traffic controllers because they were too white. Andrew Brigata,
Speaker 1: represented by Mountain State Legal Foundation, is among the nine
Speaker 1: hundred applicants who scored one hundred percent on the air
Speaker 1: traffic control test but were allegedly turned down because they
Speaker 1: did not check all the diversity boxes. The planeff graduated
Speaker 1: from Arizona State in partnership with the FAA via a
Speaker 1: program that uses the or that's used to select the
Speaker 1: most qualified controllers. After acing the test, he was placed
Speaker 1: on a preferred candidate list before being turned down by
Speaker 1: the FAA, and the FAA changed its hirings. According to
Speaker 1: the lawsuit, the FAA changed the hiring process to include
Speaker 1: a biographical assessment questionnaire, turning down hundreds of qualified applicants
Speaker 1: before they even showed up. So we've heard the stories
Speaker 1: about staffing issues within the FAA, and now we have
Speaker 1: this lawsuit that says applicants, perfectly qualified applicants scoring one
Speaker 1: hundred on the test were turned down because of the
Speaker 1: color of their skin. So we'll see what happens with that.
Speaker 1: I think that is something that needs to totally be
Speaker 1: fleshed out. And so do these accusations about the hiring
Speaker 1: processes that did not allow people to to get into
Speaker 1: the FAA and people who were in the FAA and
Speaker 1: how much time they spent and this is and it
Speaker 1: was it was what I think the day after that accident,
Speaker 1: Trump was talk about this about how this is something
Speaker 1: that needs to be looked into, and he was criticized
Speaker 1: completely because he would dare bring up something like diversity
Speaker 1: equity and inclusion. I mean, it is something that is
Speaker 1: a rot on our society and every institution that we
Speaker 1: have in it. Twelve fifty five, we got to get
Speaker 1: to a break. Brad Winstrop coming up on the other
Speaker 1: side of this. Dan Carroll in for Bill Cunningham on
Speaker 1: seven hundred Wwday's Tower two of the Bill Cunningham Show,
Speaker 1: one o eight Dan Carroll in for the Great American
Speaker 1: As we roll on till three o'clock this afternoon, my
Speaker 1: pleasure now to bring in a guy that I love.
Speaker 1: Every chance I have time, I have a chance to
Speaker 1: talk to this guy. I absolutely love it and appreciate
Speaker 1: him being on. It is the former congressman and now
Speaker 1: a gentleman citizen. I guess brad Winstriped to have your commission.
Speaker 1: I guess you still have that, don't you.
Speaker 3: No, I don't.
Speaker 4: I actually retired from the art years ago after twenty
Speaker 4: five years, and I was it was time, you know,
Speaker 4: you got to pass the baton. Sometimes I was in
Speaker 4: great positions with the military and being in Congress. I
Speaker 4: was on staff as a surgeon at Walter Reed and
Speaker 4: I had to take an administrative job as well. When
Speaker 4: you reach colonel, and I was a medical Policy advisor
Speaker 4: for the Chief of the Army Reserve and to be
Speaker 4: able to do that while I was in Congress, it
Speaker 4: was just a joy. But all of it comes down
Speaker 4: to it's time for me to spend a little more
Speaker 4: time with my family and little kids and my fact.
Speaker 4: I always have to laugh because everyone on your audience
Speaker 4: knows Joe Dieters. And when I announced my retirement, Joe
Speaker 4: Eaters sent me a text and he said, he said, Brad,
Speaker 4: I've been I've been in politics my whole life, and
Speaker 4: everyone says they're leaving to spend more time with their family.
Speaker 4: He said, you're the first one I believed.
Speaker 1: Well, if that's coming from Joe deads, that's a pretty
Speaker 1: good endorsement right there. But now you think that Congressman
Speaker 1: Weinster have served the country so long and so well,
Speaker 1: we thank you for that. Give me give me your
Speaker 1: assessment of the current administration and what we've seen since.
Speaker 1: I guess it's been we may you know, maybe we're
Speaker 1: in the fourth week now, but it has been an
Speaker 1: absolute whirlwind since January twentieth, when Donald Trump took the
Speaker 1: of office.
Speaker 4: You know, the man, love him or hate him, is
Speaker 4: an amazing person. To take all the abuses he had
Speaker 4: while in office before, while out of office since, and
Speaker 4: just keep on plugging away and not only to fight
Speaker 4: those fights, but to be so prepared to take the
Speaker 4: gabble again or the oval office again.
Speaker 3: And be able to lead.
Speaker 4: And he is going at a frenetic pace. I mean,
Speaker 4: actually it may sayers can't keep up with them, because
Speaker 4: there's something new almost every hour that they are doing.
Speaker 4: And I think it's very interesting. It seems that those
Speaker 4: on the other side, you know what he's putting out
Speaker 4: by in large facts, They're just facts. This is a
Speaker 4: problem we had. This is how we're going to fix it.
Speaker 4: Facts are stubborn things. And the answer is and just
Speaker 4: to impeach the president, which I'm already hearing rumblings from
Speaker 4: the other side that they want to impeach him, that's
Speaker 4: not the answer. Let's move this country forward. And he's
Speaker 4: doing it, and I hope he continues to do it
Speaker 4: at the same pace for at least the next two years,
Speaker 4: if not at all four.
Speaker 1: Well, I think if we're going to move forward, and
Speaker 1: we're going to do it in a meaningful way and
Speaker 1: in a way that is right for this country, we
Speaker 1: have to find out what the heck has been going on.
Speaker 1: And you know, one of the final things that you
Speaker 1: did during your time in Contress or Congress was you
Speaker 1: headed up the House panel that spent two years looking
Speaker 1: into the COVID nineteen what I call the Wuhan virus.
Speaker 1: And when you and I had a chance to talk
Speaker 1: about that, it was it was staggering to me all
Speaker 1: the information that you found out, because there are so
Speaker 1: many components to what your investigation looked at, and almost
Speaker 1: each one of these items that you found out would
Speaker 1: be a major scandal in and of itself, and then
Speaker 1: you combine them all together. And this is just as
Speaker 1: it relates to COVID nineteen. And now we have the
Speaker 1: specter of the DOGE and they're just beginning to do
Speaker 1: their work and look at all the information, look at
Speaker 1: all the absolutely crazy and insane spending and who knows
Speaker 1: what kind of mouthfield and they haven't even dug that
Speaker 1: deep yet. All they've done is just look at some
Speaker 1: of the top line numbers, and they've come out with
Speaker 1: all this information. It is so I guess my question
Speaker 1: to you is, when you were there, I'm sure you
Speaker 1: had some idea that this out of control spending was
Speaker 1: taking place the way it was. We've all known this
Speaker 1: for years and years. But did you have any conception
Speaker 1: that it was as bad as we're seeing that we've
Speaker 1: seen revealed over these last couple of weeks.
Speaker 4: No, I did not know it it was as bad
Speaker 4: as Oh. Yes, we were finding out more and more
Speaker 4: in recent years, that's for sure. And I was there
Speaker 4: twelve years. You know, the thing we were always talking
Speaker 4: about and still need to address is our mandatory spending.
Speaker 4: We don't look back on that. You know, you put
Speaker 4: programs in place and they sound good, and as Ronald
Speaker 4: Reagan said, nothing has a greater life than the government
Speaker 4: program but you have to look back and see if
Speaker 4: they're working, and see if there's waste, fraud and abuse
Speaker 4: in those as well, and make changes. The discretionary spending
Speaker 4: is what the American people hear about all the time
Speaker 4: and what we're spending money on, and so a lot
Speaker 4: of these things go to programs that sound good, but
Speaker 4: then when you get down to it and you see
Speaker 4: what they're actually spending the money on. That's that's what's
Speaker 4: the problem. You know, the government has been turned over
Speaker 4: to the agencies. And I said that after my first term.
Speaker 4: I remember somebody saying to me when I came home
Speaker 4: early on on my first term. They said, oh, it's
Speaker 4: a pretty powerful position you got. I said, no, it's
Speaker 4: pretty emasculating because the agencies have regulatory power, rule of
Speaker 4: law basically, and then we try and fight them. That's
Speaker 4: not how it's supposed to work. They should be advisors
Speaker 4: to the Congress, and we passed the laws and said
Speaker 4: we would set regulations based on their knowledge or reasoning
Speaker 4: for why we need it, and then let the people's
Speaker 4: voice be heard. That's not what's happening today, but that's
Speaker 4: what's about to get turned around. Congress has to have
Speaker 4: the backbone to say we're going to do this. The
Speaker 4: agencies have been the problem, and we've learned more and more.
Speaker 4: And you cited the COVID investigation. We just found out
Speaker 4: so much. They knew they were violating laws, They did
Speaker 4: it anyway. They were trying to hide things. When Congress
Speaker 4: asked HHS, for example, for documents, why are we met
Speaker 4: with a lawyer? Our country started with three agencies, State, Treasury,
Speaker 4: in war, and I think everyone can understand the need
Speaker 4: for those three. But all these others have come on
Speaker 4: over time, maybe with great intentions, but what's happening within there,
Speaker 4: unelected people that aren't accountable to the people, has gotten
Speaker 4: way out of control. And I love what's taking place
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now we have the specter of judges telling
Speaker 1: the head of the Treasury, for example, that he cannot
Speaker 1: access spending, the spending I guess the spending files and
Speaker 1: the spending documentations of what's been going on at the Treasury.
Speaker 1: And now you've got Democrats who are calling for impeachment already.
Speaker 1: You've got this, You've got this drum beat already that
Speaker 1: we are in a constitutional crisis and that Elon Musk
Speaker 1: was not elected. And that's a new term that's being
Speaker 1: thrown around out there. You know, we have Trumped arrangements syndrome.
Speaker 1: Now we have Musk derangement syndrome. And Elon Musk is
Speaker 1: simply a government employee who works for the office of
Speaker 1: the President of the United States, and so he sees
Speaker 1: perfectly within his rights to do what he's directed to
Speaker 1: do by the president. But yet we have democrats. You know,
Speaker 1: brat Wunstrip, it seems to me that there's only two
Speaker 1: things that motivate democrats to act and that is number
Speaker 1: one talking about stopping abortion or number two talking about
Speaker 1: cutting spending in any form possible.
Speaker 4: Well, they don't like talk about cutting spending. They say that,
Speaker 4: but when it comes time to doing it, And that's
Speaker 4: the problem with Republicans do sometimes that's serious. You know,
Speaker 4: why not we can't cut that? Well, you know, I
Speaker 4: don't like to cut things that have a return on investment.
Speaker 4: You know that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which
Speaker 4: we are trying to extend any of the components of
Speaker 4: it right now, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Yes, that
Speaker 4: reduced temporarily reduced revenue to the government because we cut taxes,
Speaker 4: but the return on investment was more people went to work,
Speaker 4: more companies expanded, they increase research and development, and employee
Speaker 4: more people, and revenue to the government came in because
Speaker 4: of all those people working and paying taxes. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's a simple formula. Really. You know, if you own
Speaker 4: a restaurant and people aren't coming in, I don't think
Speaker 4: the first thing you do is raise your prices, right,
Speaker 4: you decrease them. And that's how we have to compete
Speaker 4: on the world market. And this is what this administration
Speaker 4: is talking about. We have to stay competitive. We have
Speaker 4: to have domestic matter of manufacturing, it's a matter of
Speaker 4: national security. All of these things we have been talking about,
Speaker 4: especially in the last four years that are just glaring
Speaker 4: us in the faces problems for America, and now they're
Speaker 4: being addressed, thank goodness. And you know, not being in
Speaker 4: Congress is weird for me. But at the same time,
Speaker 4: I'm sitting back and I'm looking seeing my friends that
Speaker 4: I know are great Americans getting these positions, like John
Speaker 4: Ratcliffe and the CIA, Mike Waltz at NSA, Doug Collins,
Speaker 4: head of the and Cash Pttel, who, by the way,
Speaker 4: is a great investigator because he was the one that
Speaker 4: led the charge with Devin Dunez and the Intel Committee.
Speaker 4: And I was on there at the time to figure
Speaker 4: out that it was the Democrats and the Clinton campaign
Speaker 4: that paid for the DOTSIA and the FBI contributed in
Speaker 4: partaking in that whole Russian collusion narrative. And this, Steff's
Speaker 4: this stuff's going to get blown up, and it's about time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they talk about over the over the weekend, heading
Speaker 1: into the weekend, and over the weekend, President Trump revoked
Speaker 1: the security clearances of a lot of Ford former Biden officials, uh,
Speaker 1: these fifty one former intelligence agency heads who signed the
Speaker 1: letter saying that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
Speaker 1: And I look at this and I think the executive,
Speaker 1: the chief executive, is perfec within his rights to fire
Speaker 1: whoever he wants to. That is under the executive branch.
Speaker 1: But yet again we have all this handwringing and complaining
Speaker 1: from those on the other side of the aisle who
Speaker 1: are trying to create this narrative that somehow he's overreaching
Speaker 1: his presidential powers by doing things like this.
Speaker 4: In that case, it wasn't overreaching, it's reaching. I mean,
Speaker 4: we revealed because we had the majority in the House,
Speaker 4: and we did the investigations, and you know, people testified
Speaker 4: the fact that they put this group together because Joe
Speaker 4: Biden needed help when for his next debate, because he
Speaker 4: was going to be asked about Hunter's laptop. And sure enough,
Speaker 4: they put this group together who just said, well, this
Speaker 4: looks like it could be Russian disinformation. They never checked
Speaker 4: it out that I know of, and so they just
Speaker 4: they put this out and sure enough, Joe Biden says
Speaker 4: in the in the day, well, these these experts, these
Speaker 4: intelligence experts said it looks like Russian disinformation. They didn't know,
Speaker 4: and so I think he's just reaching and doing justice.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you to me classified information and basically
Speaker 4: falsifying something to.
Speaker 3: A degree you could argue.
Speaker 4: Is way out of line, way out of line for
Speaker 4: real professionals in the intelligence community.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't agree more. Let's talk about what's happening
Speaker 1: with foreign policy. You've got Mexico that has agreed to
Speaker 1: send ten thousand troops to the border to help with
Speaker 1: enforcement actions there. You've got Canada, which came to the
Speaker 1: table and said that they're going to spend abind the
Speaker 1: neighborhood of a billion dollars with border enforcement and investigations
Speaker 1: as to how they're going to stop the flow of
Speaker 1: illegal drugs across the northern border. You've got Trump who
Speaker 1: said he spoke with Putin by phone once to end
Speaker 1: the war. Zelenski is talking about, let's make a deal
Speaker 1: with rare earth minerals that we have have in Ukraine
Speaker 1: to maybe pay back some of the billions and billions
Speaker 1: of dollars that the United States has has sent there.
Speaker 3: We've got the balls.
Speaker 1: Are rolling on a lot of fronts around the world,
Speaker 1: and it seems like these last four years, there really
Speaker 1: hasn't been much in the way of foreign policy at all.
Speaker 1: And now you compare it to what's happening now, how
Speaker 1: do you size that up?
Speaker 4: Well, what we saw for the last four years was
Speaker 4: just acquiescence. You know, when Biden approached the situation with
Speaker 4: Russia and Ukraine, you know, we're going to support Ukraine
Speaker 4: for as long as it takes. That's not a mission statement,
Speaker 4: and that's that's not even a goal. And it didn't
Speaker 4: make any sense. And you know, now we're on track.
Speaker 4: Now we're on track because you've got to be able
Speaker 4: to talk, and you've got you've got to have your
Speaker 4: wits about you to have these conversations and to make
Speaker 4: something work. I mean, people always get tired of war.
Speaker 4: You never should you should say war is great because
Speaker 4: it's not. And you know, all of these all of
Speaker 4: these things going on around the world. He was preparing
Speaker 4: for it, and he knows these people, and he's not
Speaker 4: afraid to stand up for America. Where we saw before
Speaker 4: was acquiescence. I mean, you didn't see the Biden administration
Speaker 4: ever seemingly wanting to put any blame on China for
Speaker 4: the pandemic at all. I mean, he meets with Chi
Speaker 4: and he doesn't even say, how are your people doing
Speaker 4: these days after COVID. I mean, there's just let's put
Speaker 4: that aside. Well, there could be reasons for that, you know,
Speaker 4: maybe your son has made deals with too many Chinese people,
Speaker 4: or too many Russian people, or too many Ukrainians in
Speaker 4: the past, all of those types of things that your
Speaker 4: family may be involved with. That may be one reason
Speaker 4: to step back and not be strong and defend America.
Speaker 3: Well, I think I think those days are over.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: We have Pete hug Seth who was the Secretary of Defense,
Speaker 1: and I think he in the short time he's been there,
Speaker 1: he's done a lot of good things. I think you've
Speaker 1: seen Marco Rubio take charge as a Secretary of State.
Speaker 1: So the remaining Trump appointees, you you've got cash Mattel,
Speaker 1: I guess Taulcy Gabbard. But it seems like all the
Speaker 1: appointees who who've stepped in so far have for the
Speaker 1: most part, hit the ground running. And it's it just
Speaker 1: seems so disingenuous to me to listen to not only Democrats,
Speaker 1: but a handful of fellow Republicans talk about standing in
Speaker 1: the way and not voting there. Even after all of this,
Speaker 1: they're still talking about a handful of Republicans, are Mitch
Speaker 1: McConnell among them, talking about not voting for the some
Speaker 1: of the appointees that Trump wants to put in place.
Speaker 4: You know, it's fair to have your concerns and ask
Speaker 4: your questions, uh, you know, to dig into that. There
Speaker 4: always should be some respect for the president's choice. You know,
Speaker 4: politics gets gets gets like that. Of course, we're not
Speaker 4: doing anything likes of what Democrats have typically done to
Speaker 4: Republican candidates for particular offices like the Supreme Court. But
Speaker 4: at the same time, express your concerns and let it
Speaker 4: be known that this is your concern and when you
Speaker 4: get in office, you know, I want to hold you
Speaker 4: accountable to my concerns. That's fair, and so we'll see
Speaker 4: what happens. I think at the end of the day,
Speaker 4: it'll all come around, just because I think that that's
Speaker 4: what it will take. And people recognize that. We're seeing
Speaker 4: a lot of good things from those that have already
Speaker 4: been put in place. And I'm telling you those people
Speaker 4: they're not sitting at a desk. They have been out
Speaker 4: working and making things happen and that's what President Trump promised,
Speaker 4: and he's nominated people that he thinks will carry out
Speaker 4: those missions.
Speaker 1: All right, well, Brad reidstup, we got to run. It
Speaker 1: is always great having you on if people want to go,
Speaker 1: and I think people should still go look at the
Speaker 1: report that that your committee put out. If people want
Speaker 1: to go and find a copy of that report, where
Speaker 1: can they do that online?
Speaker 4: You could just basically google Majority Report on the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Speaker 4: The House Majority Report on the Coronavirus Pandemic, five hundred
Speaker 4: and twenty pages in sections you can read a piece
Speaker 4: of the time, seventeen pages of recommendations at the end.
Speaker 4: And I don't think it's ending here really because what
Speaker 4: we do point out is cover ups, basically cover ups
Speaker 4: from the Chinese, from our own government, from international scientists,
Speaker 4: and I think those investigations need to continue. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: why they occurred.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then this is the declassified or the unclassified version,
Speaker 1: and it is absolutely jaw dropping, and for God's sakes,
Speaker 1: I can only imagine what's in the classified version. But
Speaker 1: brad winstrip as always great to have you on, great
Speaker 1: to talk to you once again. Thank you for everything
Speaker 1: you've done. And I certainly hope we get a chance
Speaker 1: to talk on down the road.

Speaker 5: Not bad.
Speaker 1: That kid's going to have a good life. Yep, that's
Speaker 1: pretty good. So seg let me ask you this. The
Speaker 1: Biden administration spent ten million dollars on something called the
Speaker 1: White Coast Waste Project. All right, ten million dollars your
Speaker 1: money and my money to create transgender mice, rats and
Speaker 1: monkeys ten million dollars.
Speaker 3: Those people ought to get fired immediately and give the
Speaker 3: money back.
Speaker 1: What are we going to do with a transgender monkey
Speaker 1: or a transgender rat?
Speaker 3: There's a rat. Does a rat know if it's male
Speaker 3: or female?
Speaker 5: Some ways? I'm sure they do.
Speaker 1: I think all they know is that all theyk all
Speaker 1: they know is that they're a rat or a mouse.
Speaker 5: How do they know how rats think or monkeys?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: But they want to spend ten million dollars so they
Speaker 1: can do surgery on on mice and change a male
Speaker 1: mouse into a girl mouse. Want to change mini mouse
Speaker 1: into Mickey mouse.
Speaker 5: And that was ten bucks, ten million.
Speaker 1: Ten million dollars. And then and then they want to
Speaker 1: they want to get that went on during the went
Speaker 1: on during the the Biden administration, according to Nancy Mace,
Speaker 1: then they want to they want to give surgeries to
Speaker 1: monkeys to make a monkey transgend.
Speaker 3: What was your favorite commercial.
Speaker 5: Last Weird People in the World, man?
Speaker 3: Was did you watch any commercials last night? I was saying,
Speaker 3: I mean I was very happy or very uh impressed
Speaker 3: with the the dancing skills of one Martha Martha Stewart
Speaker 3: and sketchers, So that was a sketcher's commercial. Think she
Speaker 3: learned all those moves from the Snoop Dog. I saw
Speaker 3: you know what, I saw those, Brady, you got to
Speaker 3: go on Dancing with the Stars. She'd win it all
Speaker 3: if she danced like that.
Speaker 1: And then she was in that other commercial with Matthew
Speaker 1: McConaughey and I say, it's pretty good.
Speaker 5: Zillions of dollars spent.
Speaker 3: So so that was your That was your favorite one?
Speaker 5: Not bad?
Speaker 3: Did you like to fight in the alien with the
Speaker 3: with the pack of Doritos? Not bad? Not bad.
Speaker 5: They always come up with something, you know, kind of comedic.
Speaker 1: What about what about the one where you've got what
Speaker 1: about the one you've got where you've got Matthew McConaughey
Speaker 1: and Kevin Bacon talking about the history of football and
Speaker 1: he says, we're going to call this the pig Skin,
Speaker 1: and Kevin Bacon says, everybody likes Bacon.
Speaker 5: It's not bad. I like that one too. That was
Speaker 5: pretty good. They had some good ones.
Speaker 3: That was a pretty good one, had some good ones.
Speaker 5: So the year down and then we'll.
Speaker 3: Football takes a little bit of a respite here Dan
Speaker 3: Carroll and then next month free agency begins. And there
Speaker 3: was a blowout.
Speaker 5: See what happened.
Speaker 3: It was a blowout.
Speaker 5: So I know, I.
Speaker 3: Haven't seen anything about the ratings yet, of you, No,
Speaker 3: I have not. Somebody said on exit they lost a
Speaker 3: million and a half years after the halftime show because
Speaker 3: people were disgusted at about the halftime show. Apparently I
Speaker 3: didn't see it, so I don't know. I didn't say it.
Speaker 3: I didn't see it yet.
Speaker 5: I don't know who the guy was.
Speaker 3: So I.
Speaker 5: You got to get up early. So I saw the
Speaker 5: first half. That was enough. I figured, if Philadelphia is
Speaker 5: gonna blame, do.
Speaker 1: They really need to have a a halftime show though
Speaker 1: it's the Super Bowl? Do you really do you really
Speaker 1: need to have.
Speaker 3: Well, you're gonna have one anyway. I mean you're gonna
Speaker 3: have something like that. I mean you gotta have a spectacle.
Speaker 3: I'd rather see I'd rather see a dog catching a
Speaker 3: frisbee or something.
Speaker 5: That's why you tune into the Puppy bowls.
Speaker 3: See there, Well they did.
Speaker 5: It was sixty eight to sixty six. Now that was action.
Speaker 1: Sixty eight to sixty six. Now the puppies don't play
Speaker 1: a lot of defense. Apparently, Well that's the way it
Speaker 1: goes pause Allen. Neither do the Bengals pause Allen with
Speaker 1: a game winning touchdown in the final seconds to win
Speaker 1: it for Team Fluff over Team Rough.
Speaker 5: Talking about action, now that was action.
Speaker 1: Wild Man Walker says Jake Elliot never played for the Bengals.
Speaker 3: He's on there, He's on their list.
Speaker 5: I just, I just I just looked at it.
Speaker 1: He was drafted by the Bengals, but never played for
Speaker 1: the Bengals.
Speaker 3: Played in three preseason games apparently, so I guess that's
Speaker 3: good enough.
Speaker 5: I guess so he lost out the fat Randy Bullock.
Speaker 3: Seg I just had this handed Tommy. Uh oh, this

Speaker 1: after the news of two thirty, Yes, sir, on seven
Speaker 1: hundred WL seven hundred WLW it's two and nine, Dan
Speaker 1: Carroll for Bill Cunningham. And every year after the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: I've been doing this for I don't know how many
Speaker 1: years now, not that many, but at least a few years.
Speaker 1: I like to talk about the Super Bowl commercials that
Speaker 1: I thought were good and the ones that were good,
Speaker 1: and when what the hell is wrong with these advertisers.
Speaker 1: And to help me do that, I bring in my
Speaker 1: my my former colleague from Fox nineteen and now with
Speaker 1: the hit that button right over there, Steve Oldfield at
Speaker 1: Thomas Moore University. Yeah, that one right there, now, now
Speaker 1: say something. Let's see Now I can turn it up
Speaker 1: a little bit. I see, Dave. Do we have Steve on? Man,
Speaker 1: I'm not hearing it. Try try the one that you're right. Well,
Speaker 1: you got to figure out we got to figure out
Speaker 1: what microphone this guy's on. How about let me see
Speaker 1: you got the red button, the red button, the one
Speaker 1: that says on how about now hit the red button
Speaker 1: and now there you go now broadcasting one on one
Speaker 1: Steve Oldfield, how's everything that Thomas Moore?
Speaker 10: It's doing great And we're going to be talking about
Speaker 10: these commercials tonight in my classes?
Speaker 3: Are you really?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: Well, And the only rule I have is, I mean,
Speaker 1: and there's so many of them, but I say the
Speaker 1: commercials that I count are the ones that start after
Speaker 1: kickoff and the ones in the last one before the
Speaker 1: final whistle.
Speaker 10: So that means we don't have to talk about the
Speaker 10: creepy commercial with Martha Stewart acting like she was a
Speaker 10: young kid doing gymnastics and dancing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, seg Thought said he thought that was his favorite one. Really,
Speaker 3: so he liked that one. Oh and that was to
Speaker 3: me it was creepy. And I got to tell I
Speaker 3: had something I have to tell you about her. I
Speaker 3: was at a premiere once in New York City and
Speaker 3: she showed up wearing this black leather dominatrix looking get
Speaker 3: up Arthur Stewart. Yeah, and I wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 3: her name shows up on that ditty list after seeing
Speaker 3: her in person off for crying out loud.
Speaker 10: Oh my god, that's my thought on Martha Stewart probably
Speaker 10: ruined it for a lot of people.
Speaker 1: One commercial that it was the first one after the
Speaker 1: they won the first break and this was the dun
Speaker 1: king yeah right with a and I guess it was
Speaker 1: like a smack off or something. I loved it, and
Speaker 1: I thought and the first thing I thought was, I mean,
Speaker 1: did they really need to run this one back? Because
Speaker 1: they because they had these characters last here. Matt Damon
Speaker 1: obviously wasn't in it. He turned up a little bit
Speaker 1: later on. But Belichick and his girlfriend was in there.
Speaker 1: I thought Belichick had the best line of the whole commercial.
Speaker 5: It's just beans and water.
Speaker 1: He says, that's like something I've got my garbage disposal. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: And then I think that was his girlfriend that was
Speaker 1: standing next.
Speaker 5: I thought so too.
Speaker 1: But the part with the one guy they wanted to
Speaker 1: be on their crew and he was like inside a
Speaker 1: giant thing of coffee. I didn't care for that. I
Speaker 1: don't know how that made the final cut.
Speaker 10: No, there's some little creepy stuff in it. But the
Speaker 10: Barista buds was great because I hate Starbucks and I
Speaker 10: hate that whole concept, So anytime that they make fun
Speaker 10: of stuff like that, I love.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: And then the next one was the kid in the
Speaker 1: boxing with the boxing gloves on the kid fighting cancer,
Speaker 1: and you liked that one.
Speaker 10: I thought it was really really strong and I because
Speaker 10: it told a story the kid was great. The only
Speaker 10: thing that was a little weird for me about that
Speaker 10: is it was Pfizer and I'm not a big vaccine gu.
Speaker 1: I just thought that that they went for the emotional
Speaker 1: impact at the end of that spot. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: thought I thought the getting to that spot was a
Speaker 1: little bit too long. I think they I think they
Speaker 1: lost their their shot for having the really emotional impact
Speaker 1: because it because it all, it all carried on a
Speaker 1: little bit too long.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 1: Then we have this, uh uh, this commercial for the
Speaker 1: MSc cruises and Drew Barrymore is in there. I find
Speaker 1: her ultimately annoying. I cannot divorce myself from her politics,
Speaker 1: and that was a total turn off for me.
Speaker 10: It was in Orlando bloom bless us hard. I are
Speaker 10: they friends in real life?
Speaker 3: I have no idea.
Speaker 10: I was trying to wonder where were that because they
Speaker 10: were apparently taking a cruise together.
Speaker 5: So I thought that was weird.
Speaker 1: I mean, but someone who why would they choose someone
Speaker 1: who's so politically divisive.
Speaker 5: It's a good question.
Speaker 1: And that was the and and look and here's and
Speaker 1: let me let me run this, but I want to
Speaker 1: get your thought on this.
Speaker 3: Uh. Well, all the the I didn't watch all of.
Speaker 1: The uh uh you know, the pregame stuff, but the
Speaker 1: stuff that I did see I thought was really well done.
Speaker 1: And I thought, in general, I think a lot of
Speaker 1: these commercials got away from the ultra woke advertising that
Speaker 1: plagued Super Bowl commercials the last two or three seasons.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think they really got away from a lot of that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 10: To me, the most woke were the was the NFL itself,
Speaker 10: you know, doing that whole thing where they were making
Speaker 10: fun of guys playing football and the girls.
Speaker 3: I didn't care for that one.
Speaker 5: I didn't like that.
Speaker 3: But they had another one that I thought was pretty good.
Speaker 3: And we'll get to that one.
Speaker 1: But I thought the little Caesars with Eugene Levey's eyebrows
Speaker 1: flying around that had a little creep factor for me.
Speaker 5: Too, I would agree, just a little too great.
Speaker 10: You know. The funny thing is we keep mentioning all
Speaker 10: these names. These are all people, all the stars. All
Speaker 10: we can say is Madison Avenue just plays it safe
Speaker 10: all the time. These are all people who've been around
Speaker 10: for twenty thirty forty years. It was Old Home Week
Speaker 10: if you're in your fifties or sixties. Eugene Levees yet
Speaker 10: another person like that, and so, I, I don't know,
Speaker 10: it was a little weird. It went again, it went
Speaker 10: on a little too long. And then there was one
Speaker 10: later that had another thing similar to eyebrows, was it?
Speaker 1: There was the Pringles with the Mustang. The Mustang say
Speaker 1: it was the same kind of time, and my I
Speaker 1: didn't care for that one either, No, no, no. Then
Speaker 1: we had you had the t mobile and the Starlink one.
Speaker 1: You liked the shops amount of space.
Speaker 10: Yeah, And to me that that was the biggest news
Speaker 10: of the whole thing, that they're going to give you
Speaker 10: like try their service free till July.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, so that's what four or five months, it's free,
Speaker 3: whatever it is.
Speaker 10: I thought that was cool, And I of course thought
Speaker 10: of Elon with Starlink, right, so I'm a big fan
Speaker 10: of his. So I like the commercial.
Speaker 1: Homes dot Com with Morgan Freeman. I didn't care for
Speaker 1: that one. The Meta commercial, I guess that was Chris
Speaker 1: Pratt and some got some other guy. Those commercials didn't
Speaker 1: work for me.
Speaker 10: No, And those glasses started to ninety nine. Did you
Speaker 10: did you see that on there? The little thing glass
Speaker 10: was starting at two ninety nine?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I thought that was weird. I didn't care for that. Uh.
Speaker 1: The Dorito's commercial with the space alien where the guy's
Speaker 1: fighting with the back.
Speaker 3: I got. I gave that one a half a star.
Speaker 10: Yeah, just kind of weird and strange, but but it
Speaker 10: got your attention if you were if you were talking
Speaker 10: and some big party, you would look up and that
Speaker 10: would that would at least grab you in.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Then there was one for Circle Water, totally forgettable.
Speaker 5: With that guy from Pitch Perfect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had no idea who that guy was. Then
Speaker 1: we've got the Ultra and the pickle Ball with Willem
Speaker 1: dafoe and who was the female O'Hara. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: kind of liked that concept. I thought it played out
Speaker 1: pretty good.
Speaker 3: I gave it. I gave it a half a star.
Speaker 10: Well, you know, USA Today ranked him it was their
Speaker 10: third most popular crack one. I will say something we
Speaker 10: were talking about before we went on. There must be
Speaker 10: some new technique that they can airbrush actors in commercials,
Speaker 10: because both Catherine O'Hara and Willem Dafoe and Tom Cruise
Speaker 10: for that matter, looked like either they had major work
Speaker 10: done or it looked like photoshop to me, Dan and
Speaker 10: I thought that was so weird. But I'm a tennis player.
Speaker 10: I've been a tennis player since I was nine. I'm
Speaker 10: a member of Cincinnati Tennis Club. I competed in a
Speaker 10: match yesterday an inner club.
Speaker 5: We all hate.
Speaker 10: Pickleball as tennis player, do you really? Yeah, so it
Speaker 10: kills me Eastern Hills Racket Club.
Speaker 1: But I think they really tapped into this whole pickleball.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we lost.
Speaker 10: Another club, Eastern Hills, which is a great tennis club
Speaker 10: near Lunkan Airport, is now going to be pickleball. So
Speaker 10: pickleball's taking over the world. So they were smart to
Speaker 10: do this commercial. And I do love Catherine O'Hair I've
Speaker 10: I've met both of those people, Katherine and Willem. They're
Speaker 10: both two of the nicest people.
Speaker 1: Yes, cool, that's cool. Then you had the Disney and
Speaker 1: promote and all their shows who cares. Then Rich Crackers
Speaker 1: had to tried to be funny with the salty people thing.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that really pulled that off.
Speaker 5: I didn't get that at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see that ball had a penguins, the penguin
Speaker 1: animation looking I mean, for as much money as Red
Speaker 1: Bull has that that commercial, it looked cheap.
Speaker 3: It didn't. It didn't feel like it was really a
Speaker 3: Super Bowl worthy.
Speaker 5: That they phoned it in. And same with squear Space.
Speaker 1: I didn't the guy riding around Scotland thrown tops around
Speaker 1: that that didn't make any sense to me. Okay, Now
Speaker 1: the one that I think is getting the most talk
Speaker 1: and uh, this might have been my favorite of the
Speaker 1: night was Mountain Dew. Uh and they and this girl
Speaker 1: is drinking mountain dew and she winds up on this
Speaker 1: boat and then there's there's a group of seals out
Speaker 1: there and Seal is singing It's the Mountain Dew song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was a seal that had Seal's head on it.
Speaker 1: That was the first time I laughed out loud all
Speaker 1: night long. That's what I liked about.
Speaker 10: That one, I would agree, And and and that that
Speaker 10: effect looked a little cheesy, but it was meant to be.
Speaker 1: Cheesy, right, And I think that's why it was so funny,
Speaker 1: because you hear the music coming up and and and
Speaker 1: there's just a brief maybe a couple of seconds there,
Speaker 1: and it's long enough to where if you know the
Speaker 1: song like I did, I'm thinking, wait a minute, there's
Speaker 1: a group of seals, and I'm like that seal, this
Speaker 1: is seal that he pops his head up and it's
Speaker 1: seal on a seal, which which I thought was It
Speaker 1: came out pretty good. Let's see. Then we had the
Speaker 1: sloths the Corps Light commercial. I give cors like credit
Speaker 1: for taking a different, a different tack than the ones
Speaker 1: they put out last year at the train and the
Speaker 1: and that. We talked about those and I didn't care
Speaker 1: for those. I thought the one with the sloths were better.
Speaker 1: I agree, you know, and and the one there's a
Speaker 1: there's a scene where a guy gets his twelve pack
Speaker 1: of Corps Light, which they called American Light for some reason.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what they changed the name or whatever.
Speaker 1: But he walks in, he tosses the beer to the
Speaker 1: sloth and he goes right by him. You see him
Speaker 1: raising his hand up really slow to try to catch me.
Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty good.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Then we had the the Manning Brothers. Oh.
Speaker 1: Then we had then Snoop and Tom Brady yelling each
Speaker 1: at each other. See there's anti Yeah, the anti hate
Speaker 1: commercial and so.
Speaker 3: Give me a break? Not working for you? Is that?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 10: And I and again I I love Snoop I've interviewed
Speaker 10: him before, but I just thought, do we need to
Speaker 10: fan the flames and tell everybody that everybody hates each other?
Speaker 5: I mean, that's just idiotic.
Speaker 3: The Snoop Dogg have to be in every thing that
Speaker 3: happens now in the world.
Speaker 5: Yeah, when he goes to the Olympics, he does everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's in everything. Now, can we give that a
Speaker 3: little bit of a rest?
Speaker 5: I would agree?
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see. Then we had the Manning Brothers with
Speaker 1: the fan duel, the kicking thing. Uh, I mean I
Speaker 1: don't know the man. I mean, you know what you're
Speaker 1: gonna get from Eli and and Peyton, man, that's true.
Speaker 1: Let's see. Then Matthew McConaughey with the eats and Kevin Bacon.
Speaker 1: Everybody loves bacon. Matthew McConaughey is fantastic. I think in
Speaker 1: these spots.
Speaker 3: He may be the best pitch man of all these.
Speaker 3: He is I mean, he is buying it totally to
Speaker 3: that character. He is selling the product, and he's funny.
Speaker 3: He's funny, he's relatable.
Speaker 1: I think, Uh, I think they did a great thing
Speaker 1: that because even though I'll probably never use uber eats,
Speaker 1: I enjoy their commercial. And then he had another one
Speaker 1: later on where he dresses up like Mike Ditka, right,
Speaker 1: and he's well, you know, He's got a series of
Speaker 1: those commercials, and I think he does a great job
Speaker 1: at all of.
Speaker 10: Them, and he seems like the most regular dude of
Speaker 10: a lot of the people in there. I would say
Speaker 10: he and Channing Tatum are the two most regular, you
Speaker 10: would think. But whenever I would interview Matthew McConaughey, he
Speaker 10: was always drinking like Yerba mate off and some little
Speaker 10: straw and doing like some weird new age stuff. But
Speaker 10: in these commercials, in his persona, he's like mister American dude.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't.
Speaker 1: Know, Okay, Well, he's a good actor, then let's see.
Speaker 1: Then we had the old ladies driving around with the
Speaker 1: Born to Be Wild.
Speaker 3: I don't know what that was about and I.
Speaker 10: Just don't want to see some old lady flashing in
Speaker 10: a bingo. That just is a little too much Grandma.
Speaker 10: We don't need to see grandma taking her top off.
Speaker 1: Yeah that, yeah, I don't get let me see. Then
Speaker 1: we had the Turbo tax one I wrote down. It
Speaker 1: looked very expensive, but it didn't really work for me.
Speaker 10: No, because they had that whole thing where it turns
Speaker 10: into cake and she eats the cake.
Speaker 1: It looked like they spent a ton of money on that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah money. Then the one that I did
Speaker 1: kind of like was the g phone commercial.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Or you've got the he's preparing for a job interview
Speaker 1: and then you sort of get these flashback scenes and
Speaker 1: it turns out he's a stay at home dad and
Speaker 1: he's getting ready to re enter the workforce. And I
Speaker 1: just thought that was pretty tastefully done. The whole thing,
Speaker 1: very very clever and well written.
Speaker 10: You know some of these spots you actually, I mean,
Speaker 10: that would win an award for just the way it
Speaker 10: was written because it was so clever. How he talked
Speaker 10: about how he compared his family life to working for
Speaker 10: a company.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I thought that was very well done.
Speaker 1: Then we had a rocket mortgage they did with the
Speaker 1: with the Country Roads song. They were going for the
Speaker 1: big emotional impact there, But I don't get emotional about
Speaker 1: my mortgage company. I'm sorry. I just thought, you know,
Speaker 1: I got to send him a big chunk of money
Speaker 1: every week, I mean or every month.
Speaker 5: But you know what they did, it was awesome, Dan.
Speaker 10: They came out of the commercial break and the entire
Speaker 10: audience at the super Bowl was singing that song.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I thought that was awesome. I thought that
Speaker 3: was really smart. Well, you know, they were getting they
Speaker 3: were getting some mileage that ob I like that. Let
Speaker 3: me see. Then we had another Jesus. We talked about
Speaker 3: these Jesus had the first time they popped up about
Speaker 3: two or three years ago. This was the latest, uh
Speaker 3: you know, the latest one of those with the Johnny
Speaker 3: Cash song, which I don't know. I was okay with it,
Speaker 3: Yeah it was.
Speaker 5: It didn't.
Speaker 10: It didn't bother me as much as the as that
Speaker 10: we hate each other one. I thought it was pretty
Speaker 10: well shot and pretty well edited and a good but
Speaker 10: he it's funny they do the Jesus commercial. It's followed
Speaker 10: by Liquid.
Speaker 1: It was slight next up in the line up there
Speaker 1: sorry about that, which totally forgettable to me. The Chef
Speaker 1: Ramsey one I thought was totally forgettable, but it.
Speaker 10: Did have one great line. All famous people are aliens.
Speaker 10: Uh yeah, And I thought that was funny and yeah,
Speaker 10: and that was yeah, that was that was that was
Speaker 10: That was a good line now that you mention it.
Speaker 10: And then the next one was Tom Brady and the
Speaker 10: dur Cell and Robot.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know what, I think. I think
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is going to wind up being good at this.
Speaker 1: I think he's and this is his first year really
Speaker 1: being you know, with the the TV broadcasting and now
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen him really do commercials
Speaker 1: like this before. But well, i'll tell you you know,
Speaker 1: I think once he loosens up a little bit, I
Speaker 1: think he's going to be good at this.
Speaker 10: And that's exactly right. He's a little stiff now. The
Speaker 10: one he needs to watch and emulate and learn from
Speaker 10: is Jason Kelsey, who is doing commercials. He's doing sideline work.
Speaker 10: To me, Jason's the I don't like his brother who's
Speaker 10: with Taylor Swift, But I think Jason Kelsey, if I
Speaker 10: were going to hire one person for any of this stuff,
Speaker 10: he'd be the guy.
Speaker 1: Well he's another guy like Snoop Dogg who's everywhere he
Speaker 1: is I mean, I mean, the guy is pitching everything
Speaker 1: and God bless him. And he's got I mean, he's
Speaker 1: making more money now than when he was playing in
Speaker 1: the NFL.
Speaker 3: Brady's a little stiff. Still, he'll get better. I think
Speaker 3: he is going to get better. Then we had one
Speaker 3: that I think was pretty interesting was the chat GPT
Speaker 3: one and the Dots. I actually wound up going back
Speaker 3: and watching that because I think their message was, look
Speaker 3: what we can do with just dots. Yeah, these so
Speaker 3: you got big dots, small dots, you know, different sized dots,
Speaker 3: different shades of gray. And I think their message was,
Speaker 3: we can take these dots and make them look like
Speaker 3: waves of the ocean or a ship or an airplane
Speaker 3: or a guy riding his bike or whatever. And I
Speaker 3: think they were sort of saying, and that's what AI
Speaker 3: can do, is take something that's very simple and make
Speaker 3: it appear to be like anything. Was that is that
Speaker 3: the message? Yeah?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think and it can start. It all starts
Speaker 10: with the basics and then they all make it better,
Speaker 10: you know. And I'm one of the in academia, right,
Speaker 10: you know, I'm a Thomas More. This is a topic
Speaker 10: that professors are talking about all the time. AI GPT,
Speaker 10: and AI I happen to think it's fine. I teach
Speaker 10: public speaking. I told the students literally last week, I
Speaker 10: don't care if you use chet GPT. It's all about
Speaker 10: how you're going to perform this speech, and if you
Speaker 10: need some help, go for it. But if you're like
Speaker 10: an English professor, they're all freaked out and think it's
Speaker 10: a terrible thing.
Speaker 5: But I think it chat.
Speaker 10: I can tell a difference in the quality of my
Speaker 10: students from two or three years ago because I think
Speaker 10: a lot of them are using that to write their speeches.
Speaker 10: That's fine with me, it is, Yeah, Okay, So I
Speaker 10: thought the commercial was.
Speaker 1: In do you what do you want to know if
Speaker 1: they're using it? Do you want them to tell you
Speaker 1: up front they used I.
Speaker 10: Can kind of figure it out by a word here
Speaker 10: or there that they'll use. I think there's no way
Speaker 10: they would have used that otherwise.
Speaker 1: All right, and then one more before we get to
Speaker 1: the break here, uh, and I don't I think both
Speaker 1: of us are going to feel the same way about
Speaker 1: this was the guy's eating the whipped cream and the
Speaker 1: and the tongue is dancing around.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was It.
Speaker 1: Was was coffee mate, And I thought the guys were
Speaker 1: just you know, shoving the whip cream in their mouth and.
Speaker 3: With Steve stupid, very stupid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and maybe how many you know, eight
Speaker 1: million dollars for that? No, are you kidding?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right, we got to get a break in here,
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna hang around for the Stuge Report
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about a few more as we roll

Speaker 5: It had to be.
Speaker 1: I actually liked the one that Nike had with with
Speaker 1: the girls with Caitlyn. Do you see the one with
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Gark, Caitlyn Clark. I thought that was a really
Speaker 1: good one.
Speaker 5: I started boycotting Nike about ten years ago.
Speaker 3: Well so did I.
Speaker 1: I didn't we you know what, when they went with
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick exactly that. I mean, That's why I said,
Speaker 1: I'm never I'm never buying anything else Nike, never buying

Speaker 1: the golf course. I hit it in the pond, I
Speaker 1: put it in the water, you know, out in the
Speaker 1: airport or something like that, exactly the same the commercial.
Speaker 3: But I thought I thought that I thought they I
Speaker 3: thought they did a better job on that one. Let's see,
Speaker 3: let me let me find one more than I liked

Speaker 3: I was gonna say theory, so he looked a little
Speaker 3: weird yesterday walking in, he looked like he was from
Speaker 3: like nineteen sixty nine or seventy yesterday. Yeah, like like
Speaker 3: a looked like a like a I don't know, like
Speaker 3: a secret agent.
Speaker 1: So he was only gonna he was only gonna give
Speaker 1: her a ring if they won the game.
Speaker 3: That was the rumor. See I don't I say I don't.
Speaker 3: I'm don't follow all that stuff. I don't either, but
Speaker 3: you know about I just.
Speaker 5: Make it up.
Speaker 3: Is also Dan Carroll. It was on this day, January
Speaker 3: tenth of two thousand, Junior comes home.
Speaker 5: Keim Griffy, Junior came home. That was nine seasons with
Speaker 5: the Reds.
Speaker 3: I remember because I was sitting next to wild Man
Speaker 3: in that packed press conference when the man walked in.
Speaker 10: Is it true that he wasn't nearly as nice to
Speaker 10: reporters as his dad?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: I interviewed Junior a few times down there, and he's.
Speaker 3: Very good to meet. Yeah, good to know. I had
Speaker 3: no problem. I didn't know we struck up a friendship
Speaker 3: because of NASCAR.
Speaker 5: No, I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 8: Uh nervous, nervous, Yeah, okay, uh.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Last time I put on this uniform, I think I
Speaker 4: was eight.
Speaker 5: In a father and son game.
Speaker 6: So I'm happy to be here. And I really don't
Speaker 6: know what to say. I mean, this is something that
Speaker 6: you dream of as a little kid, and you know,
Speaker 6: I finally did it, finally. Back in the hometown, I
Speaker 6: watched so many great ballplayers play.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, I think I think, uh, Junior, I think
Speaker 1: Senior's personality is a little bit different than juniors.
Speaker 3: Yes, I think, uh.
Speaker 1: And I don't know how the media treated him when
Speaker 1: he was in Seattle, but I think when he came
Speaker 1: here to Cincinnati, initially he was a little protective. He
Speaker 1: was he was. He was not overly talkative. But I
Speaker 1: think I think that that after a couple of seasons,
Speaker 1: I think he really started to loosen up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but no, overall, I thought he'd come by going
Speaker 3: to reports in the dugout. He'd come by and he
Speaker 3: would just stand there and stare at me on this
Speaker 3: off to the side, because and you know, you get
Speaker 3: that feeling like somebody's watching you. And I would turn
Speaker 3: my head to the right and there he is, and
Speaker 3: he'd go and I said, he said, what are you doing?
Speaker 3: I said, well, I'm reading something. He said, you want
Speaker 3: to read something, read this? So he'd read it? What
Speaker 3: was it? Would have a question? So, ain't talking to
Speaker 3: seven hundred? Very come on, you could turn it up,
Speaker 3: but I'll talk to you. See there wasn't talking. I
Speaker 3: think you are.
Speaker 5: So he's he's a good guy.
Speaker 3: So did you see Harrison Ford selling jeeps last night?
Speaker 3: Saw a little bit of that. One didn't see the
Speaker 3: whole commercial, but I saw a little bit of it.
Speaker 3: I didn't. That didn't work for me. You loved it.
Speaker 5: I didn't like it.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 1: My take on that was was say, you know, he's
Speaker 1: showing the jeep and it's, first of all, it's an
Speaker 1: electric jeep. I don't know anyone that wants an electric jeep.
Speaker 1: Maybe if he does, I mean, that's fine.
Speaker 5: He lives in Jackson, ol Wyoming with all yes, but
Speaker 5: it was.
Speaker 1: Like, hey, look, I'm a rich guy. I've got this jeep.
Speaker 1: I've got all the things you need to plug it
Speaker 1: in and all the rest of it. And he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: go get your own. Yeah, well you know who's got
Speaker 1: who's got one hundred grand for a jeep.
Speaker 10: But what he said was he said real heroes aren't
Speaker 10: in the movies, which I thought was cool. And then
Speaker 10: he said Pride is a bad driver. Pride is a
Speaker 10: terrible driver. So I thought it was cool. I don't know,
Speaker 10: but then this might have been my other favorite one. Okay,
Speaker 10: I think I know what you're gonna stellar ar. Twis
Speaker 10: Matt Damon.
Speaker 3: Matt Damon. And did you see that one second?
Speaker 1: So, so David Beckham is sitting there with his parents,
Speaker 1: are drinking estella and they and they say, uh, you've
Speaker 1: got a long lost half brother. I guess there was
Speaker 1: twin brother, a twin brother, So David Beckham he says,
Speaker 1: what's his name? They said, well, he's the other David.
Speaker 1: So so he flies to the States. He shows up
Speaker 1: and his and his other brother brother is Matt Damon.
Speaker 1: And Matt Damon's like having a party's cooking wings and
Speaker 1: are sitting there talking and uh and and so a
Speaker 1: guy gives him a football and he says, oh, it's
Speaker 1: the thing I do. And he turns around and like
Speaker 1: kicks his football into outer space. It was pretty funny.
Speaker 1: And then he says, he says, wait a minute. He says,
Speaker 1: so my half brother is famous and he's and he
Speaker 1: says yeah, he says, well, how famous and he says.
Speaker 10: Matt Damon famous, Matt Damon famous. No, it's actually Ben
Speaker 10: Affleck famous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was very So my question is this is
Speaker 1: Stella Artois and Dunkin Donuts owned by the same company,
Speaker 1: because because they cracked on Matt Damon and the dunk
Speaker 1: King commercial for not being there, and then they turn
Speaker 1: around a crack on Ben Affleck and the Matt Damon
Speaker 1: Although I read that Bean Affleck directed.
Speaker 5: That commercial, that's probably why.
Speaker 3: So how about that?
Speaker 10: Because they love to rip on each other. They've been
Speaker 10: best friends since they were little kids.
Speaker 3: Yeah, are they still best friends? And I think there's.
Speaker 10: Still probably pretty close, except he's got to be in.
Speaker 10: Matt's got to be irritated with having j Loo around
Speaker 10: yet again, right back and forth with Ben all the time.
Speaker 5: That would get on my nerves.
Speaker 1: I don't know, said, would you be irritated with Jaylo
Speaker 1: around all the time?
Speaker 5: Probably?
Speaker 10: She was held up interviews with all the press for
Speaker 10: two hours because she walked in and she didn't like
Speaker 10: the color of her nails with the color of the walls.
Speaker 10: So they said, we have to get an emergency manicure
Speaker 10: to change her nail colors.
Speaker 3: That would be it right there. The color of her nails, Yeah,
Speaker 3: didn't match the walls. So I go to hear the
Speaker 3: who thinks about that? Jennifer Lopez? Unbelievable?
Speaker 5: Horrible? Yeah, howky diva of the first order?
Speaker 3: So the color? All right? Yeah, you see, I'll see.
Speaker 1: If I was the one out there doing those interviews
Speaker 1: like you did, that would drive me crazy.
Speaker 10: People were going to miss their flights because she had
Speaker 10: to have an emergency manicure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was terrible.
Speaker 1: What about the Taco Bell commercial with Lebron James You
Speaker 1: see that one segment?
Speaker 5: Was that Kevin Hart and any of them?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 3: You know what, I didn't see Kevin Hart, and he was.
Speaker 5: Missing this year. I don't think we saw him in anything.
Speaker 3: I like Kevin. I think Kevin Hart's pretty funny in
Speaker 3: those and a lot of those commercials that he said,
Speaker 3: great question. I didn't know his Piggy was there.
Speaker 5: I saw him as Piggy in the Booking dot com with.
Speaker 1: Kermit and the Well. They had a bunch of muppets
Speaker 1: in that in that one commercial. Did you see I
Speaker 1: see you? You like a lot more stuff than I.
Speaker 1: Did you rate the commercials in the Puppy Bowl?
Speaker 3: No, I didn't offer crying out loud, just answering.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Do they do they easy ext when when they have
Speaker 1: the Puppy Bowl? Do they make special commercials for the
Speaker 1: Puppy Bowl just like for the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then then you they put the dog up
Speaker 3: for adoption and everything else. So hopefully some of those
Speaker 3: dogs that were there yesterday found new homes.
Speaker 1: Well hopefully hopefully. What about the Budweiser commercial with the
Speaker 1: clydes Dales that.
Speaker 3: Gets you every time? Well, it doesn't make a difference.
Speaker 1: I know, but it just seemed like it just seemed
Speaker 1: to me like there was nothing new there.
Speaker 3: There wasn't.
Speaker 10: Well, it's still one in the USA today. Pull of
Speaker 10: the favorite commercials. That was number one.
Speaker 3: People like that one.
Speaker 5: People love that one anytime. They love the clydes Dale's.
Speaker 3: They love the story, the small Clydesdale's rolling the half
Speaker 3: barrel up the up the because it fell off the
Speaker 3: legon or whatever. Yeah, like the dog a few years ago,
Speaker 3: the little puppy dog and you know it becomes the
Speaker 3: dog that sits atop the the uh, the beer wagons.
Speaker 5: I mean, come on, I mean that that gets you,
Speaker 5: you know, brilliant.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe I'm maybe I'm not not feeling
Speaker 3: enough King of Beers.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not What about Here's what I didn't like, okay,
Speaker 1: was the one with the dude I think this was
Speaker 1: for TB and the kids walking around. He's got like
Speaker 1: a head shape in the shape of a cowboy hat.
Speaker 5: Oh, that was really cruel.
Speaker 3: What was that about?
Speaker 5: I have no idea.
Speaker 3: Did you see that one.
Speaker 1: Saying they're looking at they're looking at the kid. They're
Speaker 1: looking at the kid on the ultrasound.
Speaker 3: A fleshy cowboy hat and then and and he's got
Speaker 3: a head in the shape of a cowboy hat.
Speaker 1: And then like he he like lives, spends his whole life,
Speaker 1: and they with walking around with the head the shape
Speaker 1: of a cowboy.
Speaker 5: And then he sees other people wearing hats and the like.
Speaker 3: Hair of the Harry Potter hats or whatever. Just too weird.
Speaker 3: And there was there was two of those commercials.
Speaker 5: Yes, and they were both creepy.
Speaker 1: How does stuff like that get on eight million dollars?
Speaker 1: And how does stuff like that get on the air?
Speaker 10: I used to say, when I was a movie critic,
Speaker 10: weird for the sake of being weird. Some movies and
Speaker 10: some directors they have to do that sort of thing,
Speaker 10: and I don't get it. It's not extra creative just
Speaker 10: because it's creepy.
Speaker 1: What what if you went and what happened when you
Speaker 1: had to go review a movie and it sucked and
Speaker 1: then you had to talk to the stars afterwards?
Speaker 3: What was that like? Did you suck it up?
Speaker 5: Orgain? Somebody had another manicure tell.
Speaker 3: Him their movie was no good.
Speaker 10: I walked out of one movie was method Man and
Speaker 10: Red Men. Do you remember the two of them?
Speaker 3: I do not.
Speaker 10: They did a movie called How High and they were
Speaker 10: both so stoned the next day that they they got
Speaker 10: through about three interviews and they called called it quits.
Speaker 5: But I walked out of their film because I thought
Speaker 5: it was that bad.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, did you do the interview the next one?
Speaker 5: I didn't. I was I was like, the next one
Speaker 5: up and they called it so I didn't.
Speaker 1: Have thank I saved by the bell. What would you
Speaker 1: What would you have said to him?
Speaker 10: If you would have told it, I probably would have
Speaker 10: tried to find something positive about you know. I liked
Speaker 10: your I'm sure you had a nice makeup lady or something.
Speaker 10: I don't know what I would have said, right, They
Speaker 10: usually have really pretty girls doing that, so we would
Speaker 10: have probably talked about that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because all the movie was horrible.
Speaker 1: There was one commercial that had John Stamos in it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: where he was playing the piano. I'm not sure what
Speaker 1: he was advertising, but he was playing it was and
Speaker 1: I wrote down entertaining. I thought that was I thought
Speaker 1: that was actually pretty good. I didn't know he could
Speaker 1: play piano.
Speaker 5: No, and yet again another fifty or it.
Speaker 1: Could be fake. They can make they could make me
Speaker 1: look like I don't know how to play people.
Speaker 10: But yet another commercial where they were being safe and
Speaker 10: hiring somebody from our generation that has been around for
Speaker 10: thirty years.
Speaker 5: So I don't get it.
Speaker 1: So, seg, what was your favorite commercial of the night.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with the Matt Damon one with
Speaker 1: David Beckham than.
Speaker 3: The Budweiser wouldn't get you all the time, no matter
Speaker 3: what it is, and that Mark I mean I watched that,
Speaker 3: uh you know, Martha Stewart right out in the box
Speaker 3: and it was like, what in the world is this.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, there's no way in the world that lady's
Speaker 3: running around like that at eighty something years old. So
Speaker 3: I thought, well, you know, if it and I'm sure
Speaker 3: it's like Oprah whatever whatever. Uh. You know, Martha Stewart
Speaker 3: likes thousands of people probably went out and bought sketchers today.
Speaker 5: It's like her.
Speaker 3: I'm wearing sketchers right now.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 3: I bought sketchers before they were cool.
Speaker 5: I don't have slippins, but I'm probably gonna go get some.
