Speaker 1: It is cold out there this morning. Temperatures in the loath.
Speaker 2: Into at another hour of the Saturday morning edition on
Speaker 2: seven under WLW four this Saturday, April the twelfth, twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five. Shout out to my friend Scott Schneider and
Speaker 2: Steve Krebs. Thanks for the the back at you this morning,
Speaker 2: eight minutes after the hour.
Speaker 1: And I guess it's Science Mike time. What do you say?
Speaker 2: Little science minute from Science Mike on a Saturday. Why now,
Speaker 2: I'll buy.
Speaker 1: Yes as a night scientist is a bit surprising it
Speaker 1: to well blinded me, Michael, Good morning. This rounds on me.
Speaker 3: Oh, Gary Jeff, did you have RECEIPTPOL when mom was driving?
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, but it wasn't because mom was driving.
Speaker 2: It was because it's the law. And also she asked
Speaker 2: me to put my seatbelt on just in case.
Speaker 3: Hey, shout out to Dick from Day. If you're listening
Speaker 3: to Dick, there's a ukulele concert tomorrow at the taff
Speaker 3: Theater downtown. I didn't know if you're going to tend
Speaker 3: or not. I get old, Gary, Jeff. I might might
Speaker 3: just buy some popcorn down there.
Speaker 1: We have a special surprise for Dick on his birthday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he called Uplift ten twenty and.
Speaker 3: Spoke to.
Speaker 5: The sports talk show.
Speaker 1: Yeah the Extra innings. Yeah, yeah, he does.
Speaker 3: Pascal Pascal Full Moon Tomorrow night four, eight, twenty two pm.
Speaker 3: Just for because it's thirty pink flocks growing season, not
Speaker 3: because it's bank or anything. Let's talk about the science
Speaker 3: topic at hand real quick, Jared, Gary, Jeff. Let's go
Speaker 3: back to the location. It's the right right Military Laboratory
Speaker 3: in Dayton, Ohio and year the year is nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 3: There's a group called the Sunshine Group project that they
Speaker 3: have uncovered a three page document from the military where
Speaker 3: they explored certain anti biological weapons to uh during any
Speaker 3: any military conflict. Now, one of the weapons was a
Speaker 3: bomb that had certain pheromones in it that when released,
Speaker 3: would cause I'll say men to be attracted to each other.
Speaker 3: UH so would be kind of kind of like a
Speaker 3: gay bomb. Yes, yes, yes, absolutely, and this was documented.
Speaker 3: They have the three page document published on their site.
Speaker 3: And the theory was that they thought that the uh,
Speaker 3: once the pheromone would enter the human body, that these
Speaker 3: the men would be attracted and would break down unit morale.
Speaker 3: And uh that's one of the theories behind the uh
Speaker 3: this biological type of weapon. I was talking to an
Speaker 3: associate at dinner last night, Tim and.
Speaker 2: UH and and they and they and they dropped one
Speaker 2: in the middle of the table, and suddenly Tim became
Speaker 2: very attracted to you.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, we were talking about we think that
Speaker 3: might be increased because of the increase of LGBT. There
Speaker 3: may be another lamblick theory that possibly could be exposed to here.
Speaker 1: That's interesting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so could explain things. But just one of those
Speaker 3: interesting things just that you never know to you to
Speaker 3: you read about it, you know, it's like you got
Speaker 3: to kidd me, but hey, it's out there.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess there's there's always something for there's always
Speaker 2: something for the day, them amongst us.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mike, I'm not switching sides. And eighteen.
Speaker 2: Time for a brief chat with our friend Doomsday Dave
Speaker 2: the Mad Hatter some tech talk this morning, the mayor
Speaker 2: of Fort Wright. I can't forget that Dave had her
Speaker 2: good morning.
Speaker 3: You didn't want to hear it yet. I always get.
Speaker 1: Coffee, Always fine to talk to you, my friend.
Speaker 2: You always got lots of information that scares the bejeebers
Speaker 2: out of me. Let's go first to this thing called
Speaker 2: car exploit, which allows you to spy on drivers in
Speaker 2: real time.
Speaker 1: What is this story all about.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is wild, but it's in my mind. It's
Speaker 4: more important that people understand this could happen with any
Speaker 4: kind of so called smart device, anything that's quote Internet
Speaker 4: of Things, right, your coffee maker, your doorbell, your thermostat,
Speaker 4: your toilet, and this is just another yes, anything that's smart.
Speaker 4: And this is why I don't like these sort of devices,
Speaker 4: because you know, their whole market approach is feed the market,
Speaker 4: market share, ease of use as opposed to privacy and
Speaker 4: security for you the consumer. And in this case, you
Speaker 4: have a pioneer head unit. That's what you used to
Speaker 4: call them back in the daycarey, Jeff, I'm sure remembernia
Speaker 4: you would replace the factory head unit with some cool
Speaker 4: pioneer black punk clary and whatever. Yeah, you know, believe
Speaker 4: it or not, they still make these things and people
Speaker 4: will still occasionally replace there now very elaborate infotainment centers,
Speaker 4: which is a lot more difficult because in many cases,
Speaker 4: you know, that's the brain center of the whole car.
Speaker 4: But it is possible to get these third party head
Speaker 4: units and some researchers took one from Pioneer and did
Speaker 4: some testing on it, realized that it had some vulnerabilities
Speaker 4: in it. Now, admittedly, you can't do this over the air,
Speaker 4: so to speak. You would have to physically get your
Speaker 4: hands on this thing. But you know, it could be
Speaker 4: a rental car, could be you take your car in
Speaker 4: for service, it could be disgruntled spouse or anyone that
Speaker 4: could possibly get in your car can basically exploit the
Speaker 4: vulnerabilities in there to essentially take over that head unit
Speaker 4: and then capture any information that's connected to it everywhere
Speaker 4: you're going. And this to me, Gary Jeff again, this
Speaker 4: points out a bigger issue, not so much just this story,
Speaker 4: but privacy not included Mozilla. Privacy not included. I encourage
Speaker 4: all your listeners to go look that up today. They
Speaker 4: did a huge expose on modern cars about a year
Speaker 4: and a half ago. They looked at every major manufacturer
Speaker 4: sold in the United States, and I think people would
Speaker 4: be shocked. Now this is the built in infotainment center
Speaker 4: in your modern car. I think most people would be
Speaker 4: absolutely stunned and shocked if they under to what these
Speaker 4: cars can collect now because they have cameras they have sensors,
Speaker 4: they have microphones, they're collecting tons of information. You may
Speaker 4: recall GM got ding because they started selling people's driving
Speaker 4: habits the insurance companies without their consent. So this to
Speaker 4: me just puts a finer point on a anything that
Speaker 4: has software and it is potentially vulnerable. B. The Internet
Speaker 4: of Things is most smoking privacy and security dumpster fire.
Speaker 4: And see if you don't understand how these things work
Speaker 4: and you don't know, for example, that pioneer head unit,
Speaker 4: it can be patched, but apparently it's pretty difficult to do.
Speaker 4: So you have to update the software in your Internet
Speaker 4: of Things devices or trouble is coming your way, all right.
Speaker 2: Also is let's stay on the road and in the
Speaker 2: car for a minute, and the latest car technology that's
Speaker 2: been introduced that is driving people nuts.
Speaker 1: You're starting to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, have you been in a newer car recently,
Speaker 4: Gary yet? Is they're irritating a sack to operate?
Speaker 1: Yeah? There.
Speaker 4: You know, we've gone from mechanical knobs and buttons and
Speaker 4: switches to you know, all these digital infertainment centers. You
Speaker 4: have to drill down in some cases through several many
Speaker 4: So my cars are twenty eighteen and my wife's cars
Speaker 4: are twenty nineteen. They're not exactly new, right, but they're
Speaker 4: new ish. They have all of these digital features. And
Speaker 4: you know, I can tell you even though they're both
Speaker 4: from the same manufacturer, the infotainment centers are quite different.
Speaker 4: And how you change the climate in her car is
Speaker 4: different than mine. And you know, it's frustrating to go
Speaker 4: from one to another. You have to take your eyes
Speaker 4: off the road. You know, we're worried about distracted driving,
Speaker 4: and we keep adding all this digital technology. You know,
Speaker 4: I got to click here, and then I got to
Speaker 4: click there, and I got to do this thing to
Speaker 4: like change the air conditioner. How about we just go
Speaker 4: back to I just have a slighter control and I
Speaker 4: just slide it from red to blue.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, how about how about if if we
Speaker 2: go back to having an actual key in the ignition.
Speaker 1: Or on a door.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't dispute that either. That's that's one of the
Speaker 4: things they mentioned in the article about how this stuff
Speaker 4: is driving people nuts. You know, it's hard to operate
Speaker 4: in many cases. It takes your eyes off the road
Speaker 4: because you can't just reach down and push a button.
Speaker 4: They're turn it off you now have all of these
Speaker 4: electronic features like new door handles. I mean they look cool, right,
Speaker 4: they recess, they pop out when you get closed. Sense
Speaker 4: it's the keybob. When those things break, they're incredibly expensive
Speaker 4: to fix. Not to mention, you know, because of your
Speaker 4: point about the key ignition and the key. You know,
Speaker 4: these keyfobs can be captured and your car gets stolen
Speaker 4: because Steves sit in the parking lot and they pick
Speaker 4: up the radio signal from your key fob to your car,
Speaker 4: and when you come back, your car is gone. That
Speaker 4: was a big thing for a while.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: Backup cameras love them. I think it's one of the
Speaker 4: best innovations in cars in a long time. But all
Speaker 4: the rest of the sensors and so forth are there.
Speaker 4: When that stuff breaks, it is super expensive to fix,
Speaker 4: very difficult and expensive to fix those entertainment centers. So yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean, there is a cool factor, and you know,
Speaker 4: there is a convenience factor to a lot of this stuff.
Speaker 4: But the same time, I agree with the premise of
Speaker 4: the article that it's just getting harder and harder to
Speaker 4: operate the cars because we've moved away from simple intuitive
Speaker 4: controls to these very elaborate.
Speaker 2: Digital systems and more and more expensive to repair, and
Speaker 2: eventually something is going to break down or malfunction. New
Speaker 2: York Police Department sending drones to the side of nine
Speaker 2: to one one calls.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought this was an interesting story, and I
Speaker 4: just don't really see any way we get around this,
Speaker 4: because as drones get cheaper and more capable, I understand
Speaker 4: why law enforcement would want to use these things. But
Speaker 4: there's been kind of a hullabaloo with privacy experts in
Speaker 4: New York. Apparently the NYPD now has some very capable drones.
Speaker 4: They can fly up to forty five miles an hour,
Speaker 4: and you know, the original theory was they would dispatch
Speaker 4: these for like safety type things, but apparently, from what
Speaker 4: I've read, you know, they're using these more and more
Speaker 4: so nine to one one call comes in. Obviously, if
Speaker 4: I can who drone at forty five miles an hour
Speaker 4: and a straight line, I can get to a scene
Speaker 4: much more quickly, right than a officer in a car,
Speaker 4: unless they happen to be, you know, adjacent to the
Speaker 4: scene or something. And you know, the point they're making
Speaker 4: is as these things fly over, they have very very
Speaker 4: powerful cameras they have microphones. You know, they can pick
Speaker 4: you up.
Speaker 3: As they're flying over.
Speaker 4: They could hover high enough that you can't see or
Speaker 4: hear them, but they're surveilling you with their surveillance technology.
Speaker 4: And again, I don't know other than for people to
Speaker 4: be aware of this and act accordingly and to you know,
Speaker 4: make this a societal conversation. That's the thing about so
Speaker 4: much of this scary depth. It's moving so fast. Unless
Speaker 4: you're in the industry or follow it closely, you'd have
Speaker 4: no reason to realize these things are happening. And you know,
Speaker 4: at some point on all those technologies that he's out
Speaker 4: of the bottle. And we need to we need to
Speaker 4: be having a societal conversation about privacy and what does
Speaker 4: all of this mean for the future and the at
Speaker 4: least potential for a dystopian or well only in type
Speaker 4: of state. You know, do you really want to be
Speaker 4: in your backyard and have a drone, you know, flying
Speaker 4: up there somewhere listening to your conversations with your neighbor.
Speaker 4: I don't well reason why I don't like wing doorbells
Speaker 4: and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: All I know is I saw RoboCop Dave, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: did two and terminator. All Right, Dave Adder, thank you
Speaker 2: so much. Have a fantastic weekend, my friend, my pleasure,
Speaker 2: you too, you got it. Gifts from Wally on the
Speaker 2: way afternoons and then Moe Egger on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: One of my favorite weekends of the year as a
Speaker 2: sports fan, the Masters. Here's another well not not quite
Speaker 2: professional golfer, not quite scratch golfer. Well, I mean he
Speaker 2: he does play from time to time. Mo Egger to
Speaker 2: talk about that and much more.
Speaker 5: Hey Mo, how are we doing?
Speaker 1: Doing fine? Doing fine? First thing I wanted to get
Speaker 1: to was this.
Speaker 2: This deal with now FC Cincinnati wants in on the
Speaker 2: everybody else's money like the Bengals and the Browns do,
Speaker 2: as far as the state subsidizing stadiums and areas around
Speaker 2: stadiums and the like. And I just wanted to get
Speaker 2: your taken what you thought about all of this. I
Speaker 2: have my opinion is and has been. The legislature has
Speaker 2: already approved the Browns request for bonds to build a
Speaker 2: new stadium in suburban Cleveland. And you know, frankly, if
Speaker 2: I had my choice and I was the Browns, I'd
Speaker 2: like to be out of downtown Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Myself.
Speaker 2: But what I'm thinking about this is, don't the fans
Speaker 2: already subsidize these teams by buying tickets and supporting them
Speaker 2: and buying the merch and everything. Why should the taxpayers
Speaker 2: i e. Fans of the teams in the states in
Speaker 2: which they reside. Why should they have to pay again
Speaker 2: to subsidize these teams.
Speaker 5: It's a very fair and reasonable question, isn't it. You know,
Speaker 5: because as we are told, there's a great economic benefit
Speaker 5: that we all enjoyed, and I siddenly think there's some
Speaker 5: validity to that. There's a great economic benefit that we
Speaker 5: all enjoy by having these teams and shiny new palaces,
Speaker 5: and there's an amount of prestige.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: If you remember in nineteen ninety six when the vote
Speaker 5: was done to build what eventually became Paul Brown Stadium
Speaker 5: and Great American Ballpark, you know, the part of the
Speaker 5: campaign was, well, we don't want to be like Louisville. Well,
Speaker 5: we don't want to be like Columbus. We're a major
Speaker 5: league city and if these teams move, oh, by golly,
Speaker 5: we're going to be one of those like poor towns
Speaker 5: that doesn't have major League sports. So there's that as well.
Speaker 5: I personally find all discussion of stadiums and how they're
Speaker 5: going to be paid for to be excruciatingly mind numbing.
Speaker 5: What's different with that see Cincinnati, I guess it's they
Speaker 5: just built the place, right, They just built the stadium.
Speaker 5: They're not going anywhere. And so you know, oftentimes, when
Speaker 5: you know, teams will will put a gun to the
Speaker 5: public's head and say and look, the Bengals did this
Speaker 5: in the mid nineties. As much as people don't want
Speaker 5: to admit it, the Bengals did this in the mid
Speaker 5: nineties and go, well, hey, you know what, if we
Speaker 5: don't get what we're looking for, you know, we could move.
Speaker 5: That's not exactly happening with f C Cincinnati, and frankly,
Speaker 5: I don't think it's going to happen with the Cincinnati Bengals,
Speaker 5: but here we are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just, uh, it's another one of those things
Speaker 2: of well, let's uh, let's so, let's help the wealthy
Speaker 2: by soaking everybody else. And because the Brown the Brown family,
Speaker 2: and not to bank on them, because all these owners
Speaker 2: do this at one form or another, I guess except
Speaker 2: Jerry Jerry Jones paid for that place in Arlington but
Speaker 2: uh for the most part. I mean, that's that's the
Speaker 2: billion dollar wonderland. But the towns make money. The Browns
Speaker 2: make money every year.
Speaker 5: Oh it's impossible money owning an NFL, Right, I mean,
Speaker 5: you know, I have almost no business acumen, but if
Speaker 5: you handed me an NFL team, I would make I
Speaker 5: would make uh a a an insane amount of money.
Speaker 5: It is it is. And that's that's not to say
Speaker 5: that the Brown family aren't great business people, because they are.
Speaker 5: But you you, my my nearly eight year old daughter
Speaker 5: could make money owning UH and an NFL team. But
Speaker 5: I think there's something to kind of what your reference there.
Speaker 5: And people get mad at me when I say this, like,
Speaker 5: we keep putting more and more money as the public
Speaker 5: into stadiums, and and look, man, I get it. Like
Speaker 5: we we built Paul Brown Stadium, and we built Great
Speaker 5: American Ballpark, and I think there have been ancillary benefits
Speaker 5: to that that we've all all enjoyed, right, we all
Speaker 5: enjoyed the banks, we all enjoy having two stadiums on
Speaker 5: the riverfront. But the more and more money we put
Speaker 5: in new stadiums, the more inaccessible they become for a
Speaker 5: lot of people, Right, And I said this on my
Speaker 5: show last year when I saw the renderings of what
Speaker 5: you know, the next pay corpse stadium could look like,
Speaker 5: I said, what I see as a stadium that fewer
Speaker 5: people are going to be able to afford to go to.
Speaker 5: That to me is the great irony in all this,
Speaker 5: Like taxpayers keep paying more money for stadiums, and the
Speaker 5: stadiums keep becoming more inaccessible for more and more people.
Speaker 5: And I wish that wasn't the case.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if it was for talking about a
Speaker 2: publicly subsidized arena that the taxpayers are already paying for,
Speaker 2: shouldn't everybody be able to go?
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 2: And the TQL thing is just the FC Cincinnati thing
Speaker 2: is just well, they're getting theirs. We want ours too,
Speaker 2: because we're a professional sports franchise. It's just man, once
Speaker 2: the hands are out and they start and greased, everybody
Speaker 2: wants their handout.
Speaker 1: I mean, I want well.
Speaker 5: And and you don't think that the Cincinnati Reds and
Speaker 5: the Cleveland or the Cleveland Guardians both in ballparks. You
Speaker 5: know where the Guardians play opened in nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 5: I don't know how much talk stories of a new
Speaker 5: place in Cleveland. But you don't think the two major
Speaker 5: league baseball teams in the state are going to be
Speaker 5: far behind. Of course they are. So it's you know,
Speaker 5: the cookie jar is opened. It was opened by the
Speaker 5: Cleveland Browns, and now everybody's gonna want to put their
Speaker 5: hand in it. And like, there's a part of me,
Speaker 5: there's a part of me that understands it, right, Like,
Speaker 5: wait a minute, you're going to give this kind of
Speaker 5: coin to the Browns. Well, we're a professional sports team
Speaker 5: as well. Here's what I want, Okay. I think the
Speaker 5: rules should be this. You can't get a new stadium,
Speaker 5: and you can't get publicly public money for a new
Speaker 5: stadium until your team hosts a winning postseason game.
Speaker 3: Yea.
Speaker 5: So like it took the Bank Goos twenty years to
Speaker 5: host a winning postseason game in their new stadium. Great
Speaker 5: American Ballpark, for all of its time, has yet to
Speaker 5: host a winning postseason game. That is not the case
Speaker 5: with the Cleveland Guardians. I don't know if that's the
Speaker 5: case with the Cleveland Browns. They've advanced in the postseason,
Speaker 5: I don't know if they have won it home. That
Speaker 5: should be the new rule that you can't get a
Speaker 5: dime from taxpayers until the current place we built for
Speaker 5: you hosts your team winning a postseason game.
Speaker 2: Moeger on this day, Dave Keaton write this down April twelfth,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, at eight forty eight. Moeger says, make
Speaker 2: meritocracy great again.
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 2: So let's talk about my favorite sports weekend of the year.
Speaker 2: It's It's not the Final Four, although I did very
Speaker 2: well thanks to a benevolent friend who puts some wagers
Speaker 2: down for me. Based on Dick from Dayton's Picks last weekend,
Speaker 2: Dick predicted in the Final Four that Florida would win,
Speaker 2: that Houston would win, and that Florida win the national championship.
Speaker 2: So based on Dick's Dick picks, he and I are
Speaker 2: both two hundred dollars richer this week thanks to our
Speaker 2: friend who made the bets for us. And so it
Speaker 2: was a pretty good weekend. But I love the Masters
Speaker 2: Sundays or a day not only the Lord's Day. Go
Speaker 2: to church maybe and then and then settle home and
Speaker 2: watch the final round of the Masters. You and I've
Speaker 2: taught golf before because well only because I like to
Speaker 2: talk golf on the radio for all the people who
Speaker 2: think it's like watching paint dry. Uh, I enjoy it.
Speaker 2: And so far it's been a pretty good tournament, and
Speaker 2: some of the same names are there. And the thing
Speaker 2: about golf that I think appeals to me the most,
Speaker 2: mo and tell me if you agree, is the fact
Speaker 2: that it's an individual sport and you're you're you're not
Speaker 2: playing against a team. You're you're playing against the course
Speaker 2: and basically, you know, against yourself many times. But I
Speaker 2: know there's no I in team, but there are also
Speaker 2: two u's and shut up. And that's what I tell
Speaker 2: people who do mean golf.
Speaker 5: We're on the same page. It's the competitor. It's the
Speaker 5: golfer versus the course. Right, It's not so much the
Speaker 5: golfer versus the other golfers. It's the golfer versus the course,
Speaker 5: and oftentimes the golfer versus himself. You know, That's what
Speaker 5: you hear these guys say so much like sometimes my
Speaker 5: biggest enemy is is my head? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Is?
Speaker 5: And so I think what's been cool about the tournament
Speaker 5: this year is we've gotten good weather. It's just I
Speaker 5: was saying this to somebody yesterday that it feels like
Speaker 5: over the last five or six years that there have
Speaker 5: been so many rain interrupted Masters, and maybe I'm overstating that,
Speaker 5: but it just feels like there have been so many Majors,
Speaker 5: but specifically the Masters where you know they can't have
Speaker 5: a normal tournament because of whether the weather has looked
Speaker 5: stunning down there at Augusta. And I think the way
Speaker 5: the things have played out over the first thirty six
Speaker 5: holes sets us up for a really fun next two days.
Speaker 5: And obviously I think most people are wondering if Scotti
Speaker 5: Scheffler can figure out a way to become the first
Speaker 5: repeat winner since two thousand and two, two thousand and three,
Speaker 5: but he's going to have a lot of competition, including
Speaker 5: the course itself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Justin Rose, it's amazing.
Speaker 2: Justin Rose has been in the lead or tied for
Speaker 2: the lead nine times and never won the thing. He's
Speaker 2: in the lead going into the weekend, and will this
Speaker 2: be another meltdown by Justin Rose as he's entering the
Speaker 2: twilight of his career really in professional golf, in the
Speaker 2: PGA Majors. And I just think it's extremely interesting. There's
Speaker 2: like so many angles to it because of all the
Speaker 2: variable factors and against the players playing against themselves in
Speaker 2: many cases, especially as you get down to the nitty
Speaker 2: gritty and the final eighteen tomorrow, I'm rooting for I'm
Speaker 2: rooting for Rory McElroy and who's never won a Master's.
Speaker 2: He's won four majors, but he's never won a Master's.
Speaker 2: And I'm kind of rooting for Justin Rose just because
Speaker 2: he's never won either, even with all these early round
Speaker 2: leads that he's enjoyed.
Speaker 1: And I like Scotty.
Speaker 5: I like Scotty. I'm rooting for Rory. I bet on
Speaker 5: Rory don't win it. He's had a lot of top
Speaker 5: ten finishes. He obviously had you know what happened to
Speaker 5: him last year at Augusta, which you know that's going
Speaker 5: to be looming over the next two days, but it's
Speaker 5: going to be it's going to be really competitive. Golf
Speaker 5: is in a really good place right now. And you know,
Speaker 5: I know the sport is fractured because of of Liz
Speaker 5: and the divide between the players who have bolted the
Speaker 5: PGA Tour for liv But you talk about a sport
Speaker 5: you were referencing gambling before. You talk about a sport
Speaker 5: that I think to a degree, has really taken off
Speaker 5: because of gambling. It's golf. Like I know a lot
Speaker 5: of people who would not have normal who would not
Speaker 5: have normally watched this weekend. But you know, on Wednesday
Speaker 5: night or Thursday morning, they picked a golfer, they put
Speaker 5: a couple of bucks on them, and there's lots of
Speaker 5: different golf wagers you can make, and now they're going
Speaker 5: to settle in and watch. I heard Jim Nancay this,
Speaker 5: you know Jim Nancy esteemed Voice of the Masters. I
Speaker 5: listened to him on a podcast about a year ago
Speaker 5: where he said, look, this is a sport that if
Speaker 5: it leans into gambling, can really benefit from it. And
Speaker 5: that has happened. I'm sure that's not going to be
Speaker 5: a referenced during the weather pretentious Masters broadcast, but that
Speaker 5: doesn't make it any less true.
Speaker 2: And I know tomorrow I'm gonna if I get a
Speaker 2: chance to go to the store tomorrow, I'm going to
Speaker 2: try and get the ingredients to replicate a perfect Augusta
Speaker 2: of Meno cheese sandwich. Pirates are in town and have reds,
Speaker 2: have one win under their belts and going for two tonight.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Brady's singer, you know it was whether last night
Speaker 5: wasn't wasn't favorable to I think anybody, but Brady talked
Speaker 5: about after the game that he had a really hard
Speaker 5: time with his command. Red scored some runs early. He
Speaker 5: got some really good defense, Gavin Lux makes a really
Speaker 5: nice play in left field throwing a runner out at
Speaker 5: second base. Santiago espen All made a really nice play
Speaker 5: last night. The Red scort some runs early. I think
Speaker 5: within the first team first fifteen games, there's or I
Speaker 5: guess fourteen games, there's something that hasn't been talked about
Speaker 5: nearly enough that you saw last night. This team's been
Speaker 5: better defensively, and you know, obviously they haven't hit enough,
Speaker 5: and I think that's going to be a recurring issue, unfortunately.
Speaker 5: And the starting pitching has been really good and the
Speaker 5: bullpen work. The bullpen work was awesome last night. But
Speaker 5: we talked about it a lot this offseason. This team
Speaker 5: was going to have to be better defensively and in
Speaker 5: many ways, in ways that you can't necessarily see when
Speaker 5: you look at the box score. There have been mistakes,
Speaker 5: there have been airs that those are unavoidable, but over
Speaker 5: the first fourteen games, there haven't been nearly as many
Speaker 5: of those instances where they they give up a run
Speaker 5: that they shouldn't, or they give up an extra base
Speaker 5: where they give up an extra out, and oftentimes they've
Speaker 5: made some really good plays in the field that they
Speaker 5: weren't making last year. That has to happen on a
Speaker 5: frequent basis for this team, and despite their record and
Speaker 5: despite the frustration with the offense, that's been an area
Speaker 5: of improvement and we saw that come to the surface
Speaker 5: last night.
Speaker 2: Have a fantastic weekend mode. Thank you very much, counselor.

Speaker 6: bill that passed. We're gonna tell you a little bit

Speaker 6: and that's the act where you have tod you talk
Speaker 6: about owners you have to actually show an ID when
Speaker 6: you vote.

Speaker 1: that today.
