Speaker 6: You're one of those.
Speaker 5: You're the reason there's no You're the reason is there's
Speaker 5: no bread, milk, or toilet paper in the store anymore
Speaker 5: because it's the other thing. Yes, because of the climate.
Speaker 5: Terrorists have told you that the S word is in
Speaker 5: our future.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, they've They've broken me, They have broken me.
Speaker 6: I mean, have you already been liked? Have you always
Speaker 6: been like this?
Speaker 5: I mean, the second you hear snow in the forecast,
Speaker 5: you go, oh my god, I may never get out
Speaker 5: of my house again.
Speaker 6: Are you one of those?
Speaker 8: No, I'm not like that, but I don't like snow.
Speaker 8: I don't like it. Well, and it's not much, you know,
Speaker 8: but I mean, I just uh, you know, I never
Speaker 8: was a boy scout, but I something like this. Be prepared,
Speaker 8: so right, got plenty of I've got plenty of, plenty
Speaker 8: of food and cookies.
Speaker 5: Well, now now that Biden has given uh Zelensky long
Speaker 5: range missiles to hit inside Russia, are you are you
Speaker 5: food prepping for the for the m armageddon that some
Speaker 5: people say is coming World War three? You need to
Speaker 5: have at least three seventy two hours worth of food available,
Speaker 5: you know that in case, in case there's a shortage.
Speaker 7: There's nobody I know today is that there's no way.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's The preppers are everywhere. You're so you are
Speaker 5: a snow prepper. You're not a war prepper. Prepper, you're
Speaker 5: not an armageddon prepper, but you're a snow prepper.
Speaker 6: Yeah, snow prep all right, So how do we.
Speaker 7: Proll on your chain? Now?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 5: How do we sure whatever? You've already confessed? So anyway,
Speaker 5: how do we prep for the rest of the big
Speaker 5: season so we can be safe, our emotions, can can
Speaker 5: survive what's ahead for this season and what we've seen
Speaker 5: so far.
Speaker 8: What do you well, I'll I'll put in a layman's terms,
Speaker 8: the Bengals chances to get in the playoffs are slim
Speaker 8: and none. And slim has left town. I mean, they
Speaker 8: got to win all seven games remaining in the season.
Speaker 7: Ive they got seven games.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's foreign now four and seven, so there's seventeen games.
Speaker 5: They've got six games left, including two against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they got to win all sixs and.
Speaker 5: The Pittsburgh Steelers look like they could be a super
Speaker 5: Bowl team.
Speaker 6: They really do. Yeah, don't you think?
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, without a doubt, without a doubt, it could be,
Speaker 8: could be the Steelers, could be the Lions.
Speaker 7: Who knows.
Speaker 5: That's that's my prediction. I'm going out on the limb
Speaker 5: right now. I think I text you this during the
Speaker 5: game or whatever on Sunday that I think it is
Speaker 5: the Steelers and the Lions who will square off in
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6: Let's break that down for just a second.
Speaker 5: What do you think of that that matchup as being
Speaker 5: a very possible outcome.
Speaker 8: Well, Russell Wilson has done pretty well since they made
Speaker 8: him the starting quarterback. They have an okay running game,
Speaker 8: but they you know, the Steelers rely on the defense.
Speaker 7: They've always relied on the defense.
Speaker 6: They beat Baltimore without scoring a touchdown.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and the Lions, the Lions just keep racking up.
Speaker 8: Mike, Mike Tomlin has been down the road before win playoffs,
Speaker 8: so it's nothing new to him.
Speaker 5: And that Steelers defense looks like it might at least
Speaker 5: slow down that Detroit Lions offense because again, this this
Speaker 5: past week, the Lions were just lights out.
Speaker 7: Any thoughts was sad? Yeah, that was sad against Jacksonville.
Speaker 7: That was sad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well everything everything, everything in Jacksonville is said these days,
Speaker 5: let's talk about the Bengals.
Speaker 6: And how this unwound again.
Speaker 5: It seemed to me like a microcosm of the whole
Speaker 5: Bengals season because, uh, they started slow again on the season.
Speaker 6: They started slow in the game.
Speaker 5: I thought it was going to be a blowout at
Speaker 5: half and and and then.
Speaker 8: No, I guarantee a number of TVs went off at halftime.
Speaker 5: And then they gave you that that fool's gold in
Speaker 5: in the in the third and fourth quarters, like okay,
Speaker 5: here they come. They tie the score and McPherson can't
Speaker 5: hit a field goal, the former Moneymack who was now
Speaker 5: broke Mac and uh and the Bengals just fall short
Speaker 5: again at the end. It just seems like that's the
Speaker 5: way it's been the last couple of years for a team.
Speaker 7: That has bad luck.
Speaker 8: That's just the Sinnati Bengals. They just have no luck
Speaker 8: at all, just not they just don't. They just don't
Speaker 8: hit the brakes right now the last couple of years. Now,
Speaker 8: after the game, I laughed at what Zach Taylor said
Speaker 8: that they are a good football team. And then when
Speaker 8: Joe Burrow said, we're not a good football team. So
Speaker 8: what's that tell you something's wrong there in Denmark Right now?
Speaker 5: I've heard a lot of talk on this station about
Speaker 5: how they need a raw ra guy because Zach Taylor
Speaker 5: isn't a raw raw guy. Joe Burrow, I mean, he's honest,
Speaker 5: but he's kind of a matter of fact, he's not,
Speaker 5: you know, boosting somebody in the locker room. And the
Speaker 5: remark was made that of all the things you could
Speaker 5: say about Joe Mixon, he was that kind of guy
Speaker 5: and you're missing that in the locker room. What are
Speaker 5: your thoughts on that? Well?
Speaker 7: I was against, you know, I was against trading Joe Mixon.
Speaker 6: I really was.
Speaker 8: The guy doesn't fumble the ball. He was a good
Speaker 8: soldier when he was here. And that's just I don't
Speaker 8: I don't understand that. I don't know if the Bengals
Speaker 8: front office starts listening to these media guys, oh the
Speaker 8: salary cap, blah blah blah, I don't understand it. And
Speaker 8: he should have you should have stayed here and that
Speaker 8: team that him and uh him and the Chase Brown
Speaker 8: should have been the running backs. I went on and
Speaker 8: got Zach Moss and he hasn't Dudley Squad.
Speaker 6: He hurt, He got hurt. Yeah, you know, got hurt.
Speaker 5: And and here you go a lot of people, you know,
Speaker 5: just knee jerk. You you always call for the firing
Speaker 5: of somebody when things go awry. I've had some famous
Speaker 5: conversations with you about other people's He should have been fired.
Speaker 6: That was a stupid mistake.
Speaker 5: I can hear it echoing in my head right now,
Speaker 5: wild man. But Duke Tobin, you talk about the front
Speaker 5: office and you you want to I mean, Duke Tobin
Speaker 5: has a whole trail of terrible moves as somebody who's
Speaker 5: in charge of player personnel.
Speaker 6: Is it time for Duke Tobin to get fired?
Speaker 7: What did uh Zach Taylor say the other day?
Speaker 8: Wholesale changes aren't going to happen right now, and that
Speaker 8: would be stupid at this point of the seat and
Speaker 8: start kind of make also changes. But the Bengals front
Speaker 8: office with Mike Brown, Katie Brown, Troy Blackburn, they got
Speaker 8: they've got to really sit back and take a serious
Speaker 8: look at what's going on here here. You know, the
Speaker 8: Bengals made such a great, great, great move with the
Speaker 8: fan experience at pay Corpse Stadium, and now you've got
Speaker 8: it's like a train wreck. You know, they kind of
Speaker 8: screwed around with the contract, the contract of Jamar Chase.
Speaker 8: They've had a lousy draft choices. I mean, Miles Murphy
Speaker 8: number one pick, he couldn't tackle me. He had one tackle.
Speaker 8: He had one tackle.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the conversation, the conversation of the Bengals failures to me,
Speaker 5: begins and ends with the defense, period full stop. You
Speaker 5: and I have argued, and you talked about the terrible
Speaker 5: play calling from Zach Taylor, and yes, I know exactly
Speaker 5: where you're coming from, and I agree with you that
Speaker 5: somebody else should be calling the plays. We've even said
Speaker 5: Joe Burrow should be calling the plays when he's out there,
Speaker 5: he's the field genm. But this defense was neglected and
Speaker 5: it absolutely stinks like rotten fish every time they're out there.
Speaker 8: And look at the guy, look at the guys that
Speaker 8: they let let go. They didn't even try to you know,
Speaker 8: they didn't even try to keep them.
Speaker 7: They just let them walk.
Speaker 5: Jesse Bates and and DJ reader Uh are the first
Speaker 5: names that come to people's minds. But you've got to
Speaker 5: manage a salary cap. You've got to manage your budget
Speaker 5: in the way that you see fit. The Bengals just
Speaker 5: appeared to be very miserly and once again not committed
Speaker 5: to putting together a complete team. And this is what
Speaker 5: we've left with now, four and seven.
Speaker 8: Those are worth how many bon dollar what do they work?
Speaker 8: Three billion dollars something like that, I don't know the
Speaker 8: money and get us the Super Bowl, but they don't.
Speaker 8: They just dance around and dance around, and it's really frustrating.
Speaker 8: I mean, especially for this the season ticket holders that
Speaker 8: have been down there forever.
Speaker 7: You're not sharing this.
Speaker 5: You're not with snow in the forecast. You're not going
Speaker 5: back up on a billboard anytime soon.
Speaker 7: Oh no, No, those days are over all.

Speaker 5: Continuing our conversation with wild Man Walker on this Tuesday night,
Speaker 5: Gary Jeff with you on seven hundred WLW, The Nightcap
Speaker 5: and last Friday.
Speaker 6: It was.
Speaker 5: It was the big ballyhooed, multimillion dollar extravaganza on Netflix
Speaker 5: known as Iron Mike Tyson Versus Jake Paul, two entirely
Speaker 5: different generations facing off in the boxing ring, and it
Speaker 5: was incredibly disappointing for anybody that tuned in. It's from
Speaker 5: everything I've heard, it was just, I mean, Tyson through
Speaker 5: what eight punches the entire time?
Speaker 6: Wild Man, well, you're.
Speaker 5: You're tea eighteen punch eighteen okay, so that's eight eight rounds,
Speaker 5: eighteen punches. I mean, how many people were And the
Speaker 5: thing was it wasn't pay per view. It was free
Speaker 5: on Netflix, so you weren't fleeced by watching it, but
Speaker 5: you were disappointed not only by the results of the bout,
Speaker 5: but all of the glitching and buffering. It was really
Speaker 5: hard to watch. From what I've been told, I did
Speaker 5: not try to even watch it. What what did you think?
Speaker 7: Well, my mind glitched out a couple of times and
Speaker 7: I had to drop off and get back on.
Speaker 8: But you know, watching the fight here, you know, the
Speaker 8: boxing vans were just hoodwink. I mean, we saw we
Speaker 8: saw these films leading up to the fight of Tyson,
Speaker 8: you know, beating the hell out of the bag and
Speaker 8: you know, moving in and moving in soone left, soe
Speaker 8: rights and he gets in the ring and what does
Speaker 8: he do. He's do like four or five punches in
Speaker 8: the first two rounds. He never he never threw one uppercut,
Speaker 8: which is his bread and butter, and he spent most
Speaker 8: of the night playing peekaboo and biting on his gloves.
Speaker 7: I mean, you can look at that fight and go,
Speaker 7: wait a minute, all these two guys, it's just a
Speaker 7: payday for them. Yeah, it's a payday.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Granted, you know, and granted you know we went the
Speaker 8: distance big, you know, whoop de doo. But the Texas
Speaker 8: Boxing Commission. There should be a shame of those helves
Speaker 8: that they sanctioned this fight. They really should be.
Speaker 5: I just it seemed like a payday when they first
Speaker 5: announced it, and then you know they delayed the fight,
Speaker 5: but they first announced it. I'm going come on. I
Speaker 5: know Mike Tyson was a great champion when he was
Speaker 5: twenty five, but he's fifty eight years old. He's almost sixty,
Speaker 5: he's almost my age. His ass cheeks look good, I
Speaker 5: guess on TV. I didn't see those either, But.
Speaker 7: I don't know about that.
Speaker 8: All I know, Gary Jeff, is that since Tyson got
Speaker 8: out of prison, up mostly but Tomato cans. And if
Speaker 8: I look at his resume, he fought Oh Holyfield twice
Speaker 8: and got beat and he fought LENNYX Lewis and got
Speaker 8: you know, I got put in the next week and
Speaker 8: hasn't fought anybody since. I mean, fifty eight years old.
Speaker 8: He looked every bit of fifty eight.
Speaker 7: After those eight rounds.
Speaker 9: I thought he was going to keel over.
Speaker 7: I really did.
Speaker 8: And then he walked into the ring with a knee
Speaker 8: brace on, Like, what the hell is that?
Speaker 5: Well, what are your thoughts on Jake Paul, who also
Speaker 5: benefited from this bogus payday. I mean, the money's real,
Speaker 5: but the fight wasn't.
Speaker 7: Jake Paul. It really hasn't fought anybody.
Speaker 8: I mean, I don't know that much about his his
Speaker 8: you know, UFC Stubb or whatever, but he hasn't really
Speaker 8: fought anybody. I mean, come on, I mean his boxing
Speaker 8: style or if Tyson was twenty two, Tyson would have
Speaker 8: mopped him up on the floor, He just would have
Speaker 8: mopped him up.
Speaker 6: Well, it just didn't hold any interest for me.
Speaker 5: I remember Mike Tyson when I was at his age,
Speaker 5: when he was just mowing through people in his early twenties,
Speaker 5: when Costemato was still alive. And there's no way that
Speaker 5: somebody my age is going to I don't care how
Speaker 5: good is shape you or what kind of training you've had,
Speaker 5: and what kind of physical gifts you were given by
Speaker 5: God at.
Speaker 7: Birth father time, father time.
Speaker 6: Yes, and I.
Speaker 5: Knew that this was going to be awful from the
Speaker 5: get So my question is for you and everybody else
Speaker 5: who watched, why why did you watch.
Speaker 8: Just the hype, just the hype to see if Tyson,
Speaker 8: you know, could knock him out. And you know, Tyson
Speaker 8: talked a good game leading up to the fight. He
Speaker 8: really did, and he kept saying I'm in great shape
Speaker 8: blah blah blah. But I mean they hardly even you know,
Speaker 8: they hardly even threw any punches at each other. And
Speaker 8: Tyson only eighteen punches. Like I said, you know, he
Speaker 8: never went in decide at all, which was no Tyson style.
Speaker 8: Never went in, never threw any upper cuts. You know,
Speaker 8: after the rounds one and two, we basically played peekaboo
Speaker 8: and just threw a couple of jabs. I mean people
Speaker 8: could see that, you know, all the all the people
Speaker 8: that how about the people that dead on Tyson.
Speaker 7: Oh manat Live big time.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean people make make mistakes with their money
Speaker 5: all the time, including Mike Tyson. If he needed twenty
Speaker 5: million dollars guaranteed just to uh put on this charade,
Speaker 5: I wonder what his finances are, Like, I think.
Speaker 7: He's still I think he's still paying the irs.
Speaker 8: I really do oh Man twenty I'd be surprised that
Speaker 8: he probably probably came away just maybe when like four
Speaker 8: or five million, after everybody got their hands on him
Speaker 8: and owes the money.
Speaker 5: Hey, maybe if they maybe if they decide to fleece
Speaker 5: the voters and the the increase of sales tax in
Speaker 5: the Hamilton County in Cincinnati, maybe with a new arena
Speaker 5: we can get the next Mike Tyson fight. Uh they're
Speaker 5: talking about an eight hundred million dollar bill in the
Speaker 5: west part of downtown, either near.
Speaker 7: The two uh andy.
Speaker 5: And you know what it's gonna be if they if
Speaker 5: they're telling you it's gonna cost around eight hundred million,
Speaker 5: you know it's going to be one point five billion
Speaker 5: by the time they get done, right.
Speaker 8: Not not one red cent from this taxpayer or any
Speaker 8: other taxpayer to go build that arena. Someone is to
Speaker 8: building at the natter Lander group. We have more money
Speaker 8: than the Vatican and they want to they want an
Speaker 8: arena to let them pay for it, and them pay
Speaker 8: for it, you know. And then and then they bring up,
Speaker 8: you know, well we could get the NBC double A
Speaker 8: And then you've got a couple of clowns out there.
Speaker 8: They'll say, well what about we can maybe get the
Speaker 8: NHL to come here or the NBA that will never
Speaker 8: ever happen, will never happen, never happen, and plus tickets
Speaker 8: would be out of sight. They want an arena, you know,
Speaker 8: let the let the main tenant pay for it.
Speaker 7: But here's the other thing about this.
Speaker 8: We don't need a new arena with all the problems
Speaker 8: we got right now. The city's gonna make Mike Brown
Speaker 8: happy here. You know, the city's gonna make Mike brownappy.
Speaker 5: They well, the county, the county has to make money.
Speaker 5: This is a county.
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, yes, but they got to make mirank Brown out.
Speaker 8: And there's other things like housing for people in this town.
Speaker 8: Warrant about a damn arena, Heritage Bank arena. You know,
Speaker 8: it served us time and it is still it's still serviceable.
Speaker 8: Who cares about the NCAA tournament coming here? I mean
Speaker 8: that arena is servicefb. I don't think in my lifetime
Speaker 8: or maybe years. So we'll see it in the arena.
Speaker 7: It goes right.
Speaker 8: We don't need it. We don't need it because it
Speaker 8: is gonna cost too damn much money. And I'm not
Speaker 8: paying a dime. I'm not paying one damn dime to
Speaker 8: build that arena. Let them build it themselves.
Speaker 6: Well, they're talking about a sin tax.
Speaker 5: Seventy percent of it would be publicly funded, which means
Speaker 5: you and me and anybody who buys anything in Cincinnati. Uh,
Speaker 5: and I just I'm kind of with you. I'm in
Speaker 5: your camp. I know a lot of people that are.
Speaker 5: I mean, our friend Sag Dennison and said, oh a heritage.
Speaker 5: Heritage is it's a blank hole and it needs to
Speaker 5: go and and he.
Speaker 7: Never goes down there. He hasn't a Cyclones game in
Speaker 7: the last fifteen years.
Speaker 9: How would he know?
Speaker 6: But but I mean, that guy.
Speaker 7: Lives the most boring life on the planet.
Speaker 8: Who's what's the last time he went down for a concert?
Speaker 8: I didn't see him there for kiss And when's the
Speaker 8: last time he went down for a concert?
Speaker 6: I'm not sure?
Speaker 9: Yeah, hasn't.
Speaker 5: I think that Seg only goes from his house to
Speaker 5: the studio and back.
Speaker 6: I think that's.
Speaker 7: Pretty much his life he lives.
Speaker 5: And that's and that's fine. Well, Whynna, you're never boring.
Speaker 5: And I appreciate the fact that you had time. Well
Speaker 5: you get yourself together to go find a billboard to
Speaker 5: sit on top of before the Bengals win another football game.
Speaker 7: Show me the money that we'll talk My people will talk.
Speaker 6: To your people.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, we'll get that there. Have you have
Speaker 5: you got a uh a forever never for me? As
Speaker 5: we close, out.
Speaker 8: Well, I always like to say pete forever, right, I
Speaker 8: always like, I always like to say that, right.
Speaker 5: So we got the forever and who rob Manfred? Yes, okay,
Speaker 5: you got it, you got it. Wild take care brother
Speaker 5: out all right, see you in church.
Speaker 7: Start without me if I'm not there, all.
Speaker 6: Right, we will seven hundred WLW. Hey, this is Kyle
Speaker 6: Brandt's You're busy.
Speaker 3: I'm busy, but every single Monday we take ten minutes.
Speaker 5: There, Harry Jeff Walker and uh continuing this hour of sports.
Speaker 5: Uh for the out of sorts. We just had wild
Speaker 5: Man on for a few minutes. And now the uh,
Speaker 5: the finishing layer, the icing on the cake, so to speak,
Speaker 5: the one and only Furball Andy Furman will opine on what.
Speaker 5: I have absolutely no idea, but I'm sure he's got
Speaker 5: something percolating there in that pressure cooker mind of his.
Speaker 6: Good evening, Furball.
Speaker 9: Good evening, Thank you so much enough. Of course, I
Speaker 9: was a little upset that I have to follow wild
Speaker 9: Man Walker and maybe you could have us on different days.
Speaker 9: But then I came to me the realization, like I
Speaker 9: know why you put me on after him to kind
Speaker 9: of like make it all seem correct, like change it
Speaker 9: and make it right. You know what I mean. I
Speaker 9: mean all the mishmas I was said prior to me.
Speaker 9: Now I can make the path a lot clearer for
Speaker 9: the people to hear.
Speaker 6: You are the great balancing act. Yes you are. Try
Speaker 6: you are the in to his yang or something like that.
Speaker 9: Let's get it gone right now. You know, I'm going
Speaker 9: to get started here. And I'm glad because I have
Speaker 9: the opportunity. It's not going to my shrink, which said
Speaker 9: I don't have to pay you, and there's no couch,
Speaker 9: but it's still all. It serves the same purpose. I've
Speaker 9: been listening to the radio for the last forty eight
Speaker 9: hours and I've always said this, and I know you're
Speaker 9: going to agree. I always thought that the masses are asses.
Speaker 9: They really are. The masses are asses, and I didn't
Speaker 9: make that up. The late Dick Young grew up for
Speaker 9: the New York Daily News, has always said that. And
Speaker 9: that's why when he wrote a column that was called
Speaker 9: Clubhouse Confidential for the New York Daily News and it
Speaker 9: was kind of like one liners, like notes. And I
Speaker 9: once asked him that, I said, why would you do that?
Speaker 9: I said, because the masses are asses. They can't digest
Speaker 9: what I would write, so I have to be a
Speaker 9: little tidbits. And it's true. And in this town, I
Speaker 9: wish the masses who are asses would get off Zach
Speaker 9: Taylor's ass right now because they they have no clue.
Speaker 9: I'm hearing the same thing that I heard back in
Speaker 9: the nineties. I'm not going to be your bang feet anymore.
Speaker 9: I'm giving all my tickets I refused to go. You
Speaker 9: know what, You're all full of it. It's a joke.
Speaker 9: And if I worked at the Bengals office, I'd be
Speaker 9: laughing so hard my pants would be wet. I really
Speaker 9: really would be. It's the same thing. What goes around
Speaker 9: comes around. You love football, you love the Bengals, you
Speaker 9: love the game, you love the National Football League. You're
Speaker 9: gotta go where a dry spell. First of all, the
Speaker 9: Bengals right now are outscoring their opponents, which is a
Speaker 9: plus right there. Number two, the game was a heartbreaker
Speaker 9: on Sunday, There's no doubt about that. However, any positive,
Speaker 9: but I'm gonna take a positive out of it. They
Speaker 9: all scored the charges and the charges of robbery thirteen
Speaker 9: points a game, yielding thirteen points a game. I think
Speaker 9: it was wonderful. I really do. Take a couple of
Speaker 9: plays here, a couple of plays there, and how people
Speaker 9: are calling up talk shows they want Zach Taylor fired.
Speaker 5: And for real, Andy, Andy, they didn't outscore the charges.
Speaker 6: That's why they lost the game.
Speaker 9: No, No, they're us scoring their opponents. Oh, okay, only
Speaker 9: they're us scoring their opponents this year.
Speaker 5: Oh, Joe, Joe Burrow is having a wonderful year. He's
Speaker 5: having a lifetime achievement year for passing yards. I looked
Speaker 5: at in the aftermath of Sunday's game. I'm looking Monday
Speaker 5: night or Monday morning watching Sports Center or NFL Network
Speaker 5: or something, and they're showing the top passers from the
Speaker 5: past week in the NFL. Joe was number three on
Speaker 5: that list with another three hundred and fifty six yards,
Speaker 5: three touchdowns, no interceptions. He's having a career year. And
Speaker 5: the Bengals are four and seven.
Speaker 9: Is amazing. You know, Jarrett Goff two weeks ago for
Speaker 9: the Detroit Lions. The quarterback threw five deceptions that game.
Speaker 6: And the Lions still won.
Speaker 9: The Bants and they won. Okay, Burrow throws five touchdowns
Speaker 9: and they lose, It's not real. And look I get it.
Speaker 9: But here's the sad part of it. But all look
Speaker 9: good that he's had. He's having a career year, it's
Speaker 9: having a great year. He will not be an MVP
Speaker 9: because he will not be an MVP the team with
Speaker 9: a losing records and it probably will end up with
Speaker 9: the losing record MVP. Probably as we stand right now,
Speaker 9: we'll probably go to Lamar Jackson. Okay, he'll get the
Speaker 9: m v P, no doubt about that. Or then the
Speaker 9: may be someone out out there. I think if I
Speaker 9: had a vote, I probably vote for Saquon Barkley or
Speaker 9: the Philadelphia Eagles the running back. And it's very rare
Speaker 9: that a running back will get an MVP award. I mean,
Speaker 9: it's not gonna happen, but probably a quarterback. It's like
Speaker 9: the Heisman Trophy. But here's the deal. Joe Burrow may
Speaker 9: walk away with no awards whatsoever. He's not going to
Speaker 9: get the Comeback Award, all right, he's not gonna get
Speaker 9: the Offensive Player Award, and he won't get the MVP Award,
Speaker 9: which in fact that this team at the winning record,
Speaker 9: he'd be online for at least two of those awards. Agreed,
Speaker 9: But again, if I'm Joe Burrow. I don't want any awards.
Speaker 9: I just want to go to the playoffs. Another winning record.
Speaker 6: Which is which is not going to happen this year.
Speaker 5: And we know this, and there is no way, there
Speaker 5: is no way under God's watch that the Bengals, I
Speaker 5: really am suspect of them winning more than a couple
Speaker 5: more games this year. Andy, That's how bad this defense is.
Speaker 5: It's historically bad, and it's getting worse. It's not getting better.
Speaker 9: Well, I think I look at the schedule right now.
Speaker 9: I think that Tennessee and Indianapolis are two possibilities and
Speaker 9: the Dallas. I saw Dallas last night. I read this,
Speaker 9: I think I think, I think Dallas Indianapolis possibilities.
Speaker 5: I think the Dallas they could beat Tennessee. How about
Speaker 5: if they beat the Titans and their old offensive guy
Speaker 5: Callahan who should who should be.
Speaker 6: Out of the job too.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, you hate to use the that's been
Speaker 9: around for so long about being bangalized. And I don't know,
Speaker 9: I'm not saying this occurs. I'm not saying this. It's
Speaker 9: bad luck, and you know, and it's bad coaching. It
Speaker 9: really is. I mean, let's face it, it is bad coaching.
Speaker 9: First of all, Sat Taylor's going nowhere, but it's not
Speaker 9: going to pay him not to work. Really, I was
Speaker 9: shocked at they hired him initially because I think you've
Speaker 9: got a guy with experience, you got it. He's a
Speaker 9: nice guy. And maybe he's too nice of a guy.
Speaker 9: I mean, the guys that have the demoneer of a
Speaker 9: bull of a former football Look at Dan Campbell, look
Speaker 9: at the guys that have played the game, have had
Speaker 9: some experience and put a fear of God into their
Speaker 9: team and mold the team. And they talk about culture.
Speaker 9: There's no culture on this team. Don't tell me that
Speaker 9: Taylor change the culture. Dan Campbell changed the culture of
Speaker 9: the Detroit Lions. Okay, Jim Harbaugh has changed the culture
Speaker 9: of the LA Chargers. That's basically what has happened. Okay,
Speaker 9: down in text the Houston Texans, that coach has been
Speaker 9: changed as well. Zach Taylor has not done that. But
Speaker 9: you got a guy like Dan Campbell. Look what he's
Speaker 9: on to the Lions.
Speaker 6: Oh, he's my coach of the year by far.
Speaker 9: He's great. I mean, he's unbelievable. I mean, the players
Speaker 9: love him and they respect him. I'm not so certain
Speaker 9: there's a lot of respect, a lot of second guessing,
Speaker 9: and I know that goes with losing. You know, broken glovehouses,
Speaker 9: broken locker rooms, finger pointing, that all goes with losing. Okay,
Speaker 9: and given some credit in the fact that they went
Speaker 9: down by so much the bangels Worth the other night,
Speaker 9: they did come back. I think about that. They did
Speaker 9: come back. That could have rolled up the tent and
Speaker 9: they could have quit. They didn't quit. They came back.
Speaker 9: We'll see what happens the rest of their way. Now,
Speaker 9: as soon as they get mathematically eliminated in my mind
Speaker 9: they are. But as soon as they get mathematically eliminated,
Speaker 9: we'll see what happens.
Speaker 5: Then, once again, you have talked me into total confusion
Speaker 5: because you start with the masses or asses calling for
Speaker 5: Zach Taylor's firing, and then you tell me and then
Speaker 5: you tell me that Zach Taylor is not coaching. There's
Speaker 5: no coaching at all on the Bengals staff. So why
Speaker 5: wouldn't he be game? I mean, why wouldn't the Bengals
Speaker 5: be game to fire a coach who isn't coaching or.
Speaker 9: Can't you because they're not going to pay a guy
Speaker 9: not to work. Just the mantra of this is that
Speaker 9: it's still going to fire a guy with a contract
Speaker 9: with years remaining. Doesn't happen. It never happens. It won't
Speaker 9: happen here, that I promise you.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 5: That is part of the solution, though, is to get
Speaker 5: rid of the coaching staff because they're not coaching the
Speaker 5: players up.
Speaker 6: That they have.
Speaker 9: I agree with you. I certainly agree with you that
Speaker 9: you So that's why.
Speaker 6: The masses who are asses are calling for it.
Speaker 9: Andy well as some of these masses who are answers
Speaker 9: are somewhat disillusionable too, because delusional because they think that
Speaker 9: the Bengals are still going to make the playoffs, which
Speaker 9: is great. You know, you're a fan. I understand that
Speaker 9: they're not going to reel up six straight wins. There's
Speaker 9: no way, no, no.
Speaker 5: They got to play Pittsburgh twice. That's two l's right there.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I'm sorry Bengals fans that team.
Speaker 9: Look at that team book by mat Tom. Tell me
Speaker 9: he's not a Hall of Fame coach first ballot. What
Speaker 9: he has done with that team and switching quarterbacks? Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 9: Russell Wilson, I mean, look what he's done, making the
Speaker 9: switching quarterbacks. I mean, it's a team molded after him.
Speaker 9: And I'll tell you what another coach, Sean Payton, This
Speaker 9: bon knicks right now. He's had one hell of a
Speaker 9: year with the Denver Broncos. Denver's really done well. Why
Speaker 9: you gotta get good quarterbacking and a good coach, the
Speaker 9: combinations there. We got the quarterback, no doubt about that.
Speaker 9: In Cincinnati, I'm not so certain about the coach. Really,
Speaker 9: I never was really the guy was never a leader.
Speaker 9: He was a quarterback coach on the Rams staff and
Speaker 9: he came here. Not that he does know exces and o's,
Speaker 9: but he hasn't been a leader of men. And there's
Speaker 9: a difference.
Speaker 5: Well, there certainly is. And you mentioned Sean Payton. As
Speaker 5: long as he didn't get caught doing something again, you
Speaker 5: know that the future is bright in Denver.
Speaker 9: You can't say anything bit about Sean Paved because he
Speaker 9: was a guest on one of my radio shows because
Speaker 9: he wanted a case of Skyline chili and he loves Skyline.
Speaker 9: You know, he's the coach at Miami of Ohio. He
Speaker 9: knows Skyline and I sent them some Skyline chili and bingo,
Speaker 9: he got on the radio with me. It's a good man.
Speaker 6: I like Sean pay So you bribed him.
Speaker 5: What should I bribe you with to come back for
Speaker 5: another segment?
Speaker 9: Andy, Now you could bribe me not the comeback, that
Speaker 9: would be it. No, I be not the comeback.
Speaker 5: I'm bribing you to come back. What is your price
Speaker 5: we're going to do. We're gonna take a little break
Speaker 5: and come back. All right, all right, all right, more
Speaker 5: with the fur ball who says the masses are asses
Speaker 5: on the nightcap on seven hundred w LW.
Speaker 4: Hey, if you're looking for a healthy fund failure, a few.
Speaker 5: More minutes with the fur ball on this Tuesday night
Speaker 5: on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 6: Andy.
Speaker 5: Yes, there's been a proposal city city Council now in
Speaker 5: the city of Cincinnati for a new arena to be
Speaker 5: built here. Wild Man and I talked about it. He
Speaker 5: is a hard no on that none of his tax
Speaker 5: dollars are going to go to that. He's a resident
Speaker 5: of the city of Cincinnati. You, of course, are not
Speaker 5: a resident of the city of Cincinnati, and you probably
Speaker 5: outside of a cigar or two. But by the way,
Speaker 5: one of the ways they're planning on paying for it
Speaker 5: is with a syntax maybe they'll put an extra tax
Speaker 5: on your stogies to build the new arena. Would you
Speaker 5: be would you gladly pay another a dollar or two
Speaker 5: for your cigar if you bought a cigar in Cincinnati
Speaker 5: if it meant that the new arena would be built? Andy,
Speaker 5: what are your thoughts on a new arena?
Speaker 9: The questions about the arena and my cigars. Let me
Speaker 9: go with the cigars first, because that's more important than
Speaker 9: the arena right now. First of all, I don't buy
Speaker 9: I don't buy cigars in Cincinnati. Anyone was just the
Speaker 9: back of his clothes to one on won't on stick.
Speaker 9: But there was Strauss Tobacconist on Mail Road in Florence,
Speaker 9: so I get my cigars there, so I don't worry
Speaker 9: about that. That's taking care of number two. We need
Speaker 9: an arena. It's embarrassing, and I'll tell.
Speaker 5: You why, because you don't have to pay for it exactly.
Speaker 9: But I would say it anyway, but I'm saying it
Speaker 9: even more so because I live in the Great Commonwealth
Speaker 9: of Kentucky and so do you. But here's the problem.
Speaker 9: And I wanted to let Scott Sloan know this this morning,
Speaker 9: but no one picked up the phone, but that's another
Speaker 9: story for another day. Yeah. Probably, so they'll talk about
Speaker 9: the arena. And I don't understand why in this feasibility
Speaker 9: study no one had the communities to hang it down
Speaker 9: to ask the question to the so called experts, don't
Speaker 9: you need an anchor tenant to make a go of
Speaker 9: an arena? They said at this news conference which I
Speaker 9: saw on TV last night, that we don't need an
Speaker 9: anchor tenant. We could do it through concerts. No, you can't.
Speaker 9: And the proof of the pudding is check out the
Speaker 9: Young Center in Louisville. They're dying. They're dying, they're losing money,
Speaker 9: hand up of fist and they do have somewhat of
Speaker 9: a semi local anchor in the University of Louisville basketball,
Speaker 9: but they only paid play ten twelve fourteen games a year. There.
Speaker 9: You need an AHL or NBA to have an anchor
Speaker 9: tenant to give you some cash, and they're not going
Speaker 9: to have it here, and it won't happen here. Okay,
Speaker 9: I want to see an arena. I don't think it's
Speaker 9: going to happen. Do we need one? I say yes.
Speaker 9: Years ago, you know, I was one of those guys
Speaker 9: really truly pushing for an NBA team in Cincinnati. I
Speaker 9: don't think it's going to happen ever in my lifetime.
Speaker 9: But as of now, the last several years, I've been
Speaker 9: working with an an attorney and some people, some investors
Speaker 9: with an NBA team interest in another city, which I
Speaker 9: can't mention because I signed an agreement with an attorney
Speaker 9: that I can't talk about it. But we are working
Speaker 9: very hard. You need to get an expansion team which
Speaker 9: the league will expand, or a team to move to
Speaker 9: that city and the city will not be Cincinnati, no
Speaker 9: place to play. And you know what else, I'll tell
Speaker 9: you this much, even if they did have an anchor tenant,
Speaker 9: I think it's a little bit too late. And I'll
Speaker 9: tell you why. You have pro soccer, you have Pro baseball,
Speaker 9: you have Pro football, and two Division one basketball teams,
Speaker 9: so you entertainment dollar is stretched, stretched and stretched again,
Speaker 9: and also the advertising dollars are stretched. I don't think
Speaker 9: it will happen in Cincinnati.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry to say, oh wow, And this is the
Speaker 5: first time I've gotten you to publicly admit that your
Speaker 5: pipe dream of having an NBA franchise has has gone
Speaker 5: up in flames, and you you know.
Speaker 6: It's not going to happen in this city.
Speaker 9: No, in Cincinnati won't happen. But it may happen with
Speaker 9: my group that I'm working with in another city.
Speaker 6: But you can't divulge that city.
Speaker 5: And you can't talk about that deal because you sign
Speaker 5: an agreement with lawyers. That was your first mistake. I did, but.
Speaker 9: I was. That's so excited. I was because I think
Speaker 9: this thing is going to come to reality, because I
Speaker 9: think if I signed this deal, they're serious. And I'm
Speaker 9: serious with it too.
Speaker 5: You know, signing an NDA doesn't mean that stuff doesn't
Speaker 5: come out eventually. Andy, you look what Stormy Daniels did.
Speaker 5: She sign an n d A. She got paid, and
Speaker 5: then she's she's on a She's in a courtroom in
Speaker 5: New York spilling her guts literally about Donald Trump. So
Speaker 5: I mean, did they just not pay her enough? Did
Speaker 5: you get did you get a guarantee?
Speaker 9: Didn't get paid?
Speaker 6: So, so why why do you send a non disclosure acting?
Speaker 9: No, I I signed a deal that should the NBA
Speaker 9: team arise, i'd be a part owner, so I get
Speaker 9: a percentage of the club.
Speaker 6: Oh so you would get paid eventually?
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, but I should have signed your name. That's what.
Speaker 5: What's what's more likely, Uh, the n B A thing
Speaker 5: happens that you're part of, or you become an adult
Speaker 5: film star.
Speaker 9: I be becoming an adult film star. Really, really, that
Speaker 9: could happen tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Well, the NBA's no, there's no money in it because
Speaker 5: porn is free.
Speaker 6: Now I've been.
Speaker 5: Told and and unless you.
Speaker 9: Down I wrote it's always with you semi x rated.
Speaker 9: It's always a PG show when I'm working with you.
Speaker 9: Unless you get your mind out of the garden.
Speaker 6: Unless you sleep with President Trump, you're not getting paid. Andy.
Speaker 6: That's it. It's done.
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, an for an NBA team, I
Speaker 9: might do it.
Speaker 5: So you don't think that the arena is an idea
Speaker 5: of whose time has common since.
Speaker 9: The nonatal Well, I heard some of the conversations this
Speaker 9: morning with Sloany and I was in the car driving
Speaker 9: around and he's talking about the convention that happens once
Speaker 9: every four years. You're gonna spend eighty million, a hundred million,
Speaker 9: five whatever, made hundred million for an arena for once
Speaker 9: every four years, which you you may not get. You
Speaker 9: may not get it for for political conventions. Come on, really,
Speaker 9: and as far as the concerts are concerned, a majority
Speaker 9: of the concerts that we get here in our town
Speaker 9: in the trist Well Tryst the area are outdoors. The
Speaker 9: Reds are having three or four this year at the
Speaker 9: ball games, right, yes, I mean that's the way it is.
Speaker 9: You that had to have the mouth to the concerts.
Speaker 9: Really and truly, if you don't have an anchor tenant,
Speaker 9: you're really don't need an indoor arena. What do you
Speaker 9: need for the hollow Glow Tritters for two days NCAA
Speaker 9: basketball tournament? I mean, is there really an interest here
Speaker 9: to see teams that aren't involved with Cincinnati to come here.
Speaker 5: The circus elephants? The circus with no elephants. I'm not
Speaker 5: going to that.
Speaker 9: Right, I mean, so what do you need the arena for?
Speaker 9: You need an anchor team? You know, I'm thinking maybe
Speaker 9: a w NBA team would fly. Maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 9: But other than that, if you don't have an anchor
Speaker 9: tenant to get about getting the building, and the people
Speaker 9: who are getting involved with this project, you're too stupid
Speaker 9: to understand that. And they believe this guy who had
Speaker 9: the results, the so called results of the feasibility study.
Speaker 9: Of course he's gonna say that he's the guy who's
Speaker 9: gonna be contracted to build the building. We're gonna say,
Speaker 9: I'm not going to build them. Lets you get a tenant.
Speaker 9: Come on, really, well, I wish if they're not.
Speaker 5: I wish there was more transparency in these kind of things. Uh,
Speaker 5: you know they're talking about the projected cost at eight
Speaker 5: hundred million.
Speaker 6: You know it's it's twice that yes, as these.
Speaker 9: Two, but some time they put the shovel in the ground,
Speaker 9: it'll be sixteen hundred million.
Speaker 6: Well they double that.
Speaker 9: That that's that's what that's one bridge.
Speaker 5: Sixteen hundred million is one point six billion. We're talking
Speaker 5: about billions of dollars to buy an arena that may
Speaker 5: be full twenty dates a year without, as you said,
Speaker 5: an anchor tenant.
Speaker 9: You know what, could you do me a favor instead
Speaker 9: of the arena? Talk? We fixed the four to seventy
Speaker 9: one bridge? Could you fix the freaking bridge first? They're
Speaker 9: talking about that may take a couple of months.
Speaker 6: Now, that's a night talk.
Speaker 7: A couple of months for a.
Speaker 9: Bridge, It'll take twenty five years for an arena.
Speaker 6: I've got a deal.
Speaker 5: I've gotta deal with that I gotta deal with that
Speaker 5: nightmare every time I drive home. And you know, driving
Speaker 5: up here is fine, but driving home is just like
Speaker 5: it's like figuring out a Rubic's.
Speaker 6: Cube with no colors on the squares.
Speaker 9: It's it's I and I ran this great city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 6: If you I'll have a.
Speaker 9: Priority list and the area it might be on the list,
Speaker 9: but it won't be a high priority. That's feasibility study.
Speaker 9: I don't even know how much they paid for that deal.
Speaker 9: That should be transparent. How much did they pay for that?
Speaker 9: But that could be down the road. You know the
Speaker 9: other things on that list. Number one, the bridge, number
Speaker 9: two of us talk about the Bengals of pay Corps
Speaker 9: because they got a problem too about fixing up that joint.
Speaker 9: So what are you worried about an arena right now?
Speaker 9: Am I correct on that? No?
Speaker 6: You were, You were one hundred percent.
Speaker 5: And this is at one of those times when I
Speaker 5: just don't know how to feel, Andy, because I agree
Speaker 5: with you almost one hundred percent on this.
Speaker 9: You're breaking it to a sweat, I could tell.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's.
Speaker 5: Really hard for me psychologically when I when I have
Speaker 5: to agree with Andy Furman, I mean and not just
Speaker 5: not just agree, but like I'm not in my head yes,
Speaker 5: and everything you were saying about it not.
Speaker 9: Eve when you're the point now that if I were
Speaker 9: to do a march like on four seventy one with
Speaker 9: a picket sign say get it fixed, you probably follow me.
Speaker 9: You would follow me walking on the bridge. I would
Speaker 9: sign I would just get it fixed.
Speaker 5: I would follow you just to take pictures so I
Speaker 5: could laugh later. Furman, I gotta go.
Speaker 9: Oh boy, all right, until next time, my friend.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Andy Furman on the Nightcap on seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 6: Hey, did you wake up a joint pain again? Does
Speaker 6: it hurt doing the most routine stuff?
Speaker 5: It is a Tuesday night and this is the nightcap
Speaker 5: on seven hundred WLW. Joining us in studio for this
Speaker 5: half hour. Become a good radio friend to me and
Speaker 5: I feel like we always have some good moments together
Speaker 5: on the air with you, just good chemistry and he
Speaker 5: knows an awful lot about official Washington because he spent
Speaker 5: a lot of time in our nation's capital, which he
Speaker 5: actually loved. I don't know if most of us would
Speaker 5: feel like we love living in current day Washington, DC.
Speaker 5: But anyway, outside of that, there's a lot more beyond
Speaker 5: the politics, and most of it involves our money.
Speaker 6: That's right, your money and my money.
Speaker 5: Because Washington doesn't have money on their own.
Speaker 19: It's all funded by us. Well, they print a lot
Speaker 19: of it. Yeah, they just you know, we have a problem.
Speaker 19: Let's just print some money. Gosh, it works so well
Speaker 19: for Germany after World War One. Let's use that as
Speaker 19: an economic basis. Let's just print money.
Speaker 9: Wow.
Speaker 5: And that did give rise to Hitler when they did that,
Speaker 5: absolutely did. Rick Robinson in the studio here with us
Speaker 5: on the Nightcap. So Rick, according to the official figures,
Speaker 5: I wonder how much money was wasted in getting this information.
Speaker 5: Less of a waste than what the federal government does
Speaker 5: on a daily basis. I would bet the federal government
Speaker 5: made two hundred and forty seven billion dollars worth of
Speaker 5: payment errors just in fiscal twenty twenty two. Now, these
Speaker 5: are these are payment errors, and two hundred and thirty
Speaker 5: six billion last year in fiscal twenty twenty three. So
Speaker 5: that's almost half a trillion dollars just in two years
Speaker 5: in payment errors. This isn't all the boondoggle programs that
Speaker 5: Washington has funded with our money.
Speaker 19: They still haven't paid my invoice that I tried to
Speaker 19: give them to They have a bad payment. I just
Speaker 19: want you to know if if if there's a conspiracy
Speaker 19: theory out there, my golly, I'm not included in it
Speaker 19: because I want to keep keep giving my invoice. The
Speaker 19: debt clock just hit thirty six trillion this week of
Speaker 19: national debt.
Speaker 5: Unbelieving it's over one hundred percent of our GDP. In
Speaker 5: other words, the whole country does not generate as much
Speaker 5: money as we are in debt on a yearly basis.
Speaker 19: You know, there have been a lot of studies over
Speaker 19: the year, Gary Jeff, as you take a look at
Speaker 19: some of these things. One of the things that I remember,
Speaker 19: back when I was working on Capitol Hill in the
Speaker 19: mid eighties, there was a group that said, if you could, only,
Speaker 19: if you could limit the deficit to a percent of GDP,
Speaker 19: that was the answer.
Speaker 6: Not so much.
Speaker 19: They didn't they didn't believe you had a balanced budget.
Speaker 19: They said if you could just limit it to a
Speaker 19: percentage of what the GDP was, because you're continuing to
Speaker 19: grow the economy, grow the GDP, that that.
Speaker 6: That would help. Now that we're in fact over that amount.
Speaker 19: Yeah, lord, I mean take look at so when I
Speaker 19: was up there, I mean, it's when we had the
Speaker 19: first cry for draining the swamp, you know, for the
Speaker 19: Grace Commission came out in the Reagan Yeah, during the
Speaker 19: Reagan years.
Speaker 6: It comes out and and they use the term drain
Speaker 6: the swamp.
Speaker 19: Well, yeah, that was it. That was Reagan's term for
Speaker 19: for the Grace Commission. It's time to drain the swamp.
Speaker 6: Another another parallel with Donald Trump. There we go and
Speaker 6: the swamp is still there.
Speaker 19: There are still uh they are still up to their
Speaker 19: behinds and alligators in the swamp. Swamps a lot to
Speaker 19: drain it. It's a big old swamp. It's a big
Speaker 19: old swamp.
Speaker 5: And when the swamp is the benefactor of all the
Speaker 5: parasites in bureaucracies that are unelected and unaccountable to all
Speaker 5: of us until they either get fired or move on
Speaker 5: to some cushy corporate job, they will keep on sucking.
Speaker 5: But but they don't. They don't suck so the swamp
Speaker 5: gets dry. They suck just enough so they get rich. Well,
Speaker 5: we get poorer. And where but where is the response
Speaker 5: to that? Garret Jeff?
Speaker 19: Is it the fault of the bureaucracy or in fact,
Speaker 19: is it the fact that we can't pass the appropriation
Speaker 19: bills or Congress.
Speaker 6: Because we can't.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I'd be happy with just the Congress going through
Speaker 19: and making sure they pass all the appropriation bills and
Speaker 19: actually focus on where we should be spending.
Speaker 5: Oh, no, Congress in our government. The Congress has the
Speaker 5: purse strings. They decide how much money is needed to
Speaker 5: run our government, and they decide where this money is
Speaker 5: going to be spent with all of the pork and
Speaker 5: all of their pet projects in their districts. I just
Speaker 5: want to know who recommended that nine million dollars or
Speaker 5: some just absurd amount and you're talking about millions of
Speaker 5: dollars when the debt is thirty six trillion and said, well,
Speaker 5: it's just a up in the bucket. Well, there's a
Speaker 5: lot of drops in that bucket that equaled thirty six
Speaker 5: trillion dollars in debt. Rick whose pet project was it
Speaker 5: to fund research on transgender monkeys?
Speaker 6: That is on the list as well.
Speaker 5: As you were famously noting what we found out recently
Speaker 5: about study on calimarts. Yeah, that's actually my You gotta
Speaker 5: love Jeff Bezos, whether you if you want to go
Speaker 5: out there on the limb.
Speaker 6: Look at what he's doing.
Speaker 19: His his his big nonprofit that he has about nine
Speaker 19: point eight million dollars. This week they announced they were
Speaker 19: coming out with a study of vaccine. Well you think
Speaker 19: you're going you think RFK was pissed off before. Wait wait, wait,
Speaker 19: here's this one for a vaccine to stop cal farts.
Speaker 19: Now this is the only attempt to stop cal farts.
Speaker 19: There is a whole generation of peace people that have
Speaker 19: come up. One even to the point that puts a
Speaker 19: mask on the cow and then has this little like
Speaker 19: catalytic converter on the cow's back that converts.
Speaker 5: There are there are places in Europe where they have
Speaker 5: diapers on cow's rear end to cap the gas. But
Speaker 5: do you know the number one contributor of methane in
Speaker 5: our atmosphere.
Speaker 6: It's not cow farts. It's not it's not agriculture, it's
Speaker 6: not livestock. It is termite flatulence.
Speaker 5: Termite farts are make up the greatest component of methane
Speaker 5: released naturally in our atmosphere.
Speaker 19: And I'm calling right now for Jeff Bezos to give
Speaker 19: you and I nine point eight million dollars so that
Speaker 19: we can study this and make sure we put an
Speaker 19: end to to turn my parts in the flsos have
Speaker 19: have the keys to our treasury and get this money
Speaker 19: from the government.
Speaker 6: He's not giving. This is the own money.
Speaker 19: This is the own nonprofit foundation that he wants to
Speaker 19: like that, give me, give me nine point eight I'll
Speaker 19: look at I'll look at a bunch of termites.
Speaker 5: This segment is about government waste, i e. The people
Speaker 5: that work for us supposedly. I love doing our money.
Speaker 19: Yeah, and I love this time of year because right
Speaker 19: about now is when our congressman are you and our
Speaker 19: senator from ran Paul from Kentucky. Yeah, will be coming
Speaker 19: out with his list of government spending and phony projects,
Speaker 19: something that he inherited from other members over the years.
Speaker 6: He'll be coming out. I think he comes out with
Speaker 6: that on Festivus.
Speaker 5: You know, he always wants whatever that is well that
Speaker 5: he's a Seinfeld.
Speaker 19: Seinfeld, It's a Seinfeld holiday. He's a big fan. It's
Speaker 19: the time when you air your grievances and you can
Speaker 19: have a festivus for the rest of us. And festiv
Speaker 19: us is when he goes down to the floor and
Speaker 19: airs his grievances over the horrible spending the Congress stations.
Speaker 5: Well, we are having our festivals right now. We are
Speaker 5: airing our grieving right now on this very station, on
Speaker 5: these airwaves. Federal government agencies are using just twelve percent
Speaker 5: of the space in their headquarters buildings on average.
Speaker 6: The buildings in Washington, d C.
Speaker 5: Went empty during the mistaken COVID lockdowns, and the workers
Speaker 5: never came back. By and large, they're all remote. See,
Speaker 5: you've got all this empty office space that we are
Speaker 5: paying for, that we are paying for in electricity and
Speaker 5: heating and cooling in just the space itself. We're paying
Speaker 5: and they're using twelve percent. That's their footprint in Washington,
Speaker 5: d C. Of federal office buildings. Twelve percent ridiculous, ridiculous.
Speaker 19: You know, I'd love to have break down that number
Speaker 19: and see how much of that is buildings owned by
Speaker 19: the government and buildings rented by the government, because one
Speaker 19: of the things, I mean, there are plenty of government
Speaker 19: owned office buildings in DC that people could be in
Speaker 19: if this is about the fact that they are.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 19: I used to work for a little while in in Arlington,
Speaker 19: Rosland area, and there were so many government agencies that
Speaker 19: had space in the buildings that were in that area.
Speaker 6: Ridiculous. And then again to the fact that we can
Speaker 6: get them down.
Speaker 19: You know, if somebody, if you're ware with the Department
Speaker 19: of Agriculture, you should be in the Agricultural building down downtown.
Speaker 5: Well yeah, get this, Maybe Thomas Massi will solve that
Speaker 5: if they call him up. Uh, the House Oversight Committee,
Speaker 5: because the spaces must be furnished. Well, of course, so
Speaker 5: even if there's nobody there, they've got to be furnished.
Speaker 5: The House Oversight Committee spent three point three billion dollars
Speaker 5: on furniture over the last few years for empty buildings.
Speaker 5: And this is the House Oversight Committee. These are the
Speaker 5: people who are supposed to be the watch dogs. Well,
Speaker 5: you have to have a nice divan if you're going
Speaker 5: to really if you really want to move the government forward,
Speaker 5: you got to have another, you know, a real leather divan.
Speaker 5: You can't you can't have one of those agencies.
Speaker 6: Get this.
Speaker 5: Some agencies spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on updating
Speaker 5: empty conference rooms. Well, you want to make sure that
Speaker 5: on the on the outside chance that somebody walks into
Speaker 5: a building and needs a conference, it's available to have that.
Speaker 5: Another one of our Kentucky Congressman, James Comer, said, hundreds
Speaker 5: of millions of dollars of taxpayer funds are spent annually
Speaker 5: just to maintain government owned properties that should be sold off.
Speaker 5: How did Andrew Jackson get us out of detest Nation?
Speaker 6: He sold.
Speaker 19: He sold federal land. So yeah, sell federal land. And
Speaker 19: that was actually during the Grace Commission. That was one
Speaker 19: of the big things that came through several of the
Speaker 19: different studies and things that have happened. And what's interesting,
Speaker 19: Gary Jeff, is that everybody wants everybody wants to talk
Speaker 19: about cutting this expense, cutting that expense, cutting, you know,
Speaker 19: making sure that people with this location moved to that location.
Speaker 19: And everybody's fine with that until it's their ox being jured.
Speaker 6: It's the nimbi. If you if you're going to close.
Speaker 19: I forget how many post offices they said needed to
Speaker 19: be closed, and that was fine and good until it
Speaker 19: was the one at your zip code.
Speaker 6: How much I just saw this if you.
Speaker 19: Really want to, if you if you're on Capitol Hill
Speaker 19: and you really want a whole bunch of emails coming
Speaker 19: to you and letters coming to you, and phone calls
Speaker 19: coming into the office, close a post office, closing a
Speaker 19: post office in a in a in a small rural
Speaker 19: community which is still bleeding money. They raised the price
Speaker 19: on stamps again, the other thing that would cause everything
Speaker 19: to happen. Raise it by a penny, and my guide,
Speaker 19: you would think you would have cut one of the
Speaker 19: fingers off the christ Child. I mean, it was just
Speaker 19: you would have people just storming into the into the
Speaker 19: office to protest a one cent increase in post office.
Speaker 19: When we have these millions and billions of dollars that
Speaker 19: are at stake. Well, I don't know that anything will
Speaker 19: get done. I know that they're not going to be
Speaker 19: spending any money because they're unpaid positions and they don't
Speaker 19: need it. But vag Ramaswami and and Elon Musk have
Speaker 19: been task with this temporary commission as it may last
Speaker 19: like a month or so, to root out his government waste.
Speaker 6: I think they've been given.
Speaker 19: A two year they've been given a two year sunset
Speaker 19: that they want to get everything in by then, but
Speaker 19: they'd like to get it in in the first hundred days.
Speaker 19: The only thing you got to do is look at
Speaker 19: whatever Rand Paul tells you it is. He has his staff,
Speaker 19: gets on that stuff and knows it backwards and forwards.
Speaker 5: Only he's our senator. We probably should have called him
Speaker 5: for this. He may be a little busy right now, and.
Speaker 19: He may be a tad he may be a tad
Speaker 19: busy as if he gets ready for Festivus.
Speaker 5: Let's talk about these Senate appointments and the confirmations rather
Speaker 5: of the people that Donald Trump so far. I joke
Speaker 5: the other day that Donald Trump's putting together his cabinet
Speaker 5: faster than an Ikea zoom video. But uh wait, but
Speaker 5: you know, even if.
Speaker 19: Anybody's faster than around in the pall of Mike Tyson fight.
Speaker 6: So well, there you go. But and that's the thing.
Speaker 5: If you've ever followed instructions to put anything together, a
Speaker 5: simple something at home, you know that there's always one
Speaker 5: screw that's missing, or one little, one little peg that
Speaker 5: is supposed to be in the packaging that's not there,
Speaker 5: which was.
Speaker 19: Here, by the way, on the control board as I
Speaker 19: came in today, I'm kind of wondering if the microphone's
Speaker 19: going to fall.
Speaker 6: Well, it's anything's possible in this place, I believe it.
Speaker 9: No, So.
Speaker 5: What do you think the odds are number one that
Speaker 5: they will be any more successful than Peter Grace was
Speaker 5: in the drain the swamp efforts to save us money.
Speaker 19: Well, what happens in these situations is finding somebody As
Speaker 19: this is going to become an issue during I think
Speaker 19: the confirmation process.
Speaker 6: You brought it.
Speaker 19: You brought up the confirmation process. I think several of
Speaker 19: the agencies when you look at it, I think all
Speaker 19: of the agencies and people that come before then are
Speaker 19: going to be asked the question, likely planted by the
Speaker 19: Trump administration, what are you going to cut?
Speaker 6: It's time to start that dialogue. Well, there are many, including.
Speaker 5: Myself, Many including myself think that the first thing that
Speaker 5: needs to happen is the Department of Education just needs
Speaker 5: to go away.
Speaker 6: It needs to go away.
Speaker 5: In nineteen seventy nine when it came into being, we
Speaker 5: were number one in the world in educating our kids.
Speaker 5: We're twenty four. We've had forty five years of the
Speaker 5: Department of Education, and things have only gone precipitously downhill
Speaker 5: and continue to do so.
Speaker 19: Talk a minute about programs and departments, because that's a
Speaker 19: great place to start. If you look back at the
Speaker 19: Reagan term, Reagan was get rid of the Department of Education.
Speaker 19: Reagan was get rid of this program, that program, this program.
Speaker 19: In the end, you know how many programs Reagan got
Speaker 19: rid of. Two one was reinstated by the by a
Speaker 19: future administration. So as you take a look at that again,
Speaker 19: you look at the program spending as opposed to the
Speaker 19: line item spending. Look at the program spending. It's very
Speaker 19: tough to to do away with somebody's somebody's ox because
Speaker 19: as long as any ox can be gorged, as long
Speaker 19: as you don't want your ox to be gord right,
Speaker 19: And that's what the way it is in the House,
Speaker 19: in the Senate. But Rick, they don't need to cut billions.
Speaker 19: They need to cut trillions out of his federal budget. Exactly.
Speaker 19: So exactly, Gary, Jeff, I mean, if you take a
Speaker 19: look at this and you look at where the debt
Speaker 19: is going in the in the future, the fact that
Speaker 19: we're the fact that you meant that we are over
Speaker 19: the growth national product in debt every year, where does
Speaker 19: it stop.
Speaker 5: We're paying a trillion dollars. Stop, we're paying a trillion
Speaker 5: dollar payments on the interest on this debt.
Speaker 19: Absolutely, it's it's ridiculous. And the answer is not, as
Speaker 19: we jokingly said before, But the answer is not just
Speaker 19: print more money. I want to know why we're having
Speaker 19: trouble right now on an economic standpoint. Well, yeah, during
Speaker 19: the pandemic, we tried twice, just went out and said, oh,
Speaker 19: we'll just print a bunch of money. Well, the Inflation
Speaker 19: Reduction Act was a great example of how we're printing money.
Speaker 19: Is that the Inflation Reduction Act?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 5: How come all of the the names of these bills
Speaker 5: are counterintuitive to what they actually do.
Speaker 19: We used to joke when I was on the hill
Speaker 19: that if you added the word orphan to the title
Speaker 19: of any bill, that you could get it passed. Amazing, Well,
Speaker 19: it's gonna help the orphans.
Speaker 6: You.
Speaker 5: You gifted me one of your previous books, your your
Speaker 5: book of nonfiction, which is entitled writ of Mandamus.
Speaker 6: Writ of Mandamus.
Speaker 19: It's a one thing that I do when I'm writing
Speaker 19: non fiction, Gary Jeff, is I try to take real
Speaker 19: situations and then build a fiction around it. And this
Speaker 19: book is based upon I wrote it several years ago,
Speaker 19: but it's based upon the nineteen seventies time frame when
Speaker 19: we gave a whole bunch of fighter.
Speaker 6: Jets too Iran. Oh jeez, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 19: And over the years they kept salvaging one, salvaging one,
Speaker 19: salvaging one, they put it all together finally come up
Speaker 19: with you know, a part. Nobody knows today whether or
Speaker 19: not any of them are still operational.
Speaker 6: Oh that's all right.
Speaker 5: The Biden administration gave them billions of dollars and let
Speaker 5: their oil flow free again, so they're able to sponsored
Speaker 5: terrorism without them.
Speaker 19: This book is about people that are trying to actually
Speaker 19: take parts to F fifteen fighter jets and sneaking them
Speaker 19: into Iran in violation of the law. So that's what
Speaker 19: the books around. Thank you for the gifts. You're welcome. Hey,
Speaker 19: if anybody, if you ought to come out on the
Speaker 19: fourteenth of December at Verona Vineyards, we're going to be
Speaker 19: out there signing books and having some good wine. Oh,
Speaker 19: your folks want to come out. Anybody listening, come on out.
Speaker 19: We'll have not only my book nineteen sixty eight, but
Speaker 19: much of my fiction books, all right.
Speaker 6: And I look forward to it. Do you drink alcohol occasionally,
Speaker 6: but only only for medicinal purposes.
Speaker 5: Well, thank you, We'll make sure we have it. We
Speaker 5: have medicinal wine there for you. Rick Robinson, thank you
Speaker 5: so much.
Speaker 14: Thanks, Jerry, Jeff, Kick Up Christmas with our iHeartRadio Holiday
Speaker 14: Special hosted by Mario Lopez on Night of Holiday Fun Musicains.
Speaker 5: Speller hour of this nightcap on seven hundred w l W.
Speaker 5: Joining us longtime friend, a friend of the program, a
Speaker 5: friend of mine.
Speaker 6: We don't get to talk.
Speaker 5: As often as either one of us would like, but
Speaker 5: the opportunity presents itself this evening. So without any further ado,
Speaker 5: we welcome in forensic psychologists and my buddy, doctor John Huber.
Speaker 6: How are you tonight, Doc?
Speaker 20: I am amazing, Gary, Jeff, and I'm just so blessed
Speaker 20: to be on.
Speaker 5: You know, my neighbor Judy loves to hear you because
Speaker 5: she loves the fact that anytime we talk, no matter
Speaker 5: what's going on, you're always amazing. So thank you for
Speaker 5: living up to the pre billing here.
Speaker 20: And speaking of Okay, I'm sorry, go ahead, I'm no
Speaker 20: thunder it.
Speaker 5: No, it's a stupid it's a stupid echo on this phone.
Speaker 5: And I ha a stupid comment. Please go. The beauty
Speaker 5: of it.
Speaker 9: Is what.
Speaker 20: The beauty of it is that you know, everybody can
Speaker 20: be amazing at any time. I mean, the fact that
Speaker 20: we wake up alive in the morning is itself just
Speaker 20: a miracle. And we should take that and run with
Speaker 20: it and start your day off right with that attitude,
Speaker 20: and you'll be surprised how much better your life just
Speaker 20: evolves into an amazing experience.
Speaker 5: Yeah you don't believe in God, well you didn't get
Speaker 5: to see him today, so it's another day on earth,
Speaker 5: and be happy with that. And I don't know, I
Speaker 5: don't know how I'm gonna, you know, be treated when
Speaker 5: I do see God. So I'm still working on that part.
Speaker 5: So let's talk about seeing each other over the holidays,
Speaker 5: i e. Family members, and people are associated with family
Speaker 5: members because there are large gatherings this time of year,
Speaker 5: from Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Years, and they can
Speaker 5: be serious psychological flash points for people, especially if they
Speaker 5: there's some underlying stuff there. And everybody has underlying baggage
Speaker 5: that they carry around in their their lives, some of
Speaker 5: it is heavier than other people's. But first and foremost,
Speaker 5: what are the realities of dealing with family you may
Speaker 5: not see eye to eye with, especially in a very
Speaker 5: as you mentioned, a very cathartic political election year. What
Speaker 5: do we do what we when we get do we
Speaker 5: just do we just write them off and don't go
Speaker 5: because we're afraid? Or do we take that leap of
Speaker 5: faith out and say, you know what, it's a it's
Speaker 5: a great time to celebrate. I'm going to celebrate no
Speaker 5: matter who I have to celebrate with and what their opinions.
Speaker 20: Are, right, And that that second attitude is, you know,
Speaker 20: goes more in line with how I tend to just
Speaker 20: try and live life. And the fact is that there
Speaker 20: are probably many things that you and your family members,
Speaker 20: your loved ones, the people you care about, have very
Speaker 20: different views of them about And if you didn't, why
Speaker 20: are you, you know, friends with them? I mean, because yeah,
Speaker 20: we have some commonalities, but you don't want people who
Speaker 20: all they do is think and feel exactly like you
Speaker 20: do and make world a very boring place. So I
Speaker 20: think there's a few tricks and and things we should do,
Speaker 20: no matter how again, carthartic another emotionally up evil or
Speaker 20: emotional release that things and events may cause, whether it
Speaker 20: is the election or somebody's birthday or a significant other
Speaker 20: past away this year, and you're afraid to go in
Speaker 20: and face this group of people because there might be
Speaker 20: one or two, or maybe maybe you're the minority. Maybe
Speaker 20: everybody else sees the world from a different perspective on
Speaker 20: those topics, and that's okay. The reality of it is,
Speaker 20: you know, the things we tend to feel that at
Speaker 20: the day of our dead. I've worked with several people
Speaker 20: as their dying in their hospital rooms and the things
Speaker 20: that they had remorse for doing or things they didn't do,
Speaker 20: and wishing they'd spend more time with some of those
Speaker 20: people that actually meant a lot to them, but because
Speaker 20: of an incident or something they didn't So how do
Speaker 20: we get through that? And one of the things my
Speaker 20: family has done traditionally, and having been in a path
Speaker 20: life a university professor and had lots of grad students
Speaker 20: who were home or who couldn't go home because of
Speaker 20: the holidays breaks were too short and they lived all
Speaker 20: the way across the country and things like that, is
Speaker 20: we always invited the people are neighbors who are alone
Speaker 20: or isolated over the holidays to our house and that
Speaker 20: always added an element of uncertainty, so people oftentimes kept
Speaker 20: their aggression and or opposing views that they know would
Speaker 20: cause some sort of stress in the situation at a minimum.
Speaker 20: And it works whether you've got you know, maybe you're
Speaker 20: divorced and your kids have invited your ex spouse and
Speaker 20: their new partner to Thanksgiving dinner or to Christmas, and
Speaker 20: you just don't want to see that. You know, bring
Speaker 20: some of your neighborhood people who are not as blessed
Speaker 20: to have family, bring them there, bring them into the family.
Speaker 7: And then you.
Speaker 20: Always have this unknown element, so nobody seems to trip
Speaker 20: all the wires and push all the buttons up.
Speaker 5: In other words, you're sound, doctor Hubert. In other words,
Speaker 5: you're saying, bring back up.
Speaker 9: Well, you know, they don't need to know that.
Speaker 20: That's one of the benefits, the fact that you're actually
Speaker 20: helping somebody else out and they're helping you out. Nobody
Speaker 20: wants to be alone on the holidays. I mean, you know,
Speaker 20: as a college professor, I have had lots of my
Speaker 20: students who work, for example, as dancers in you know,
Speaker 20: in gentlemen's clubs, using that word loosely, and one of
Speaker 20: the things they say that Thanksgiving and Ristmas and New
Speaker 20: Year's are their biggest days. They make more money because
Speaker 20: there's more people in that day, because people don't want
Speaker 20: to sit around home by themselves, alone in isolation when
Speaker 20: everybody else is up, you know, enjoying the blessed family
Speaker 20: that they have, and you know there's a reason for that,
Speaker 20: So invite those people so they don't have to go
Speaker 20: in there. Sorry by past students who who may still
Speaker 20: be working in that in that world, but I think
Speaker 20: that you know, there's a healthier way to go about
Speaker 20: spending that time and do it with friends and family
Speaker 20: and people you may not even know yet because it
Speaker 20: is a limited time. Let's say you only live to
Speaker 20: be eighty years old, Well you've only got eighty opportunities,
Speaker 20: and probably the first eighteen or twenty you have no
Speaker 20: control over because you're a kid, so that knocks it down.
Speaker 20: You have sixty opportunities to spend some amazing time with
Speaker 20: people that are important.
Speaker 5: You know that's amazing because you don't think about it
Speaker 5: at the time, but there are finite opportunity. Unity is
Speaker 5: to spend those special moments with the people who are
Speaker 5: closest to or should be closest to you. So don't
Speaker 5: waste one of those finite opportunities, because it's a very
Speaker 5: small window. As you mentioned, in the course of a
Speaker 5: lifetime what I did years ago. I've got a brother
Speaker 5: who is just about two and a half years younger
Speaker 5: than I am, who is and I think it's because
Speaker 5: of the school teacher he's married to. But it's become
Speaker 5: even more even more leftist, let's say, than the rest
Speaker 5: of the family, and certainly more leftist than me, because
Speaker 5: I'm not.
Speaker 6: On that side at all.
Speaker 5: Back in the two thousands, it must have been two
Speaker 5: thousand and four, two thousand and five, I was at home,
Speaker 5: back at home in Tennessee with my parents, and it
Speaker 5: was a celebration. I can't remember whether it was Thanksgiving
Speaker 5: or Christmas, one or the other. And there he and
Speaker 5: I got into a political discussion we never should have
Speaker 5: gotten into, and it wound up with some terse language.
Speaker 5: We wound up breaking bread together anyway and just surviving
Speaker 5: that situation. But in the aftermath of that, I pulled
Speaker 5: him aside and I said, brother, you know what, We're family,
Speaker 5: We're blood. I love you. We can't do this. We
Speaker 5: don't get together but maybe two or three times a
Speaker 5: year we cannot do this every time we do have
Speaker 5: the chance to get together, and we made a pact,
Speaker 5: and he has held up his end.
Speaker 6: I have held up my end.
Speaker 5: We just do not talk about politics whatsoever when we're together.
Speaker 5: We have plenty of other things that we can discuss.
Speaker 5: It's not like we're walking on eggshells or tiptoeing around
Speaker 5: each other. But we know that we are diametrically opposed
Speaker 5: on certain issues and are never going to convince the
Speaker 5: other one that we are right, So we just choose
Speaker 5: to avoid that.
Speaker 6: Is that a good tack to take?
Speaker 20: I think so. But you know you got to be
Speaker 20: careful too, because what did you say, Will? It's just
Speaker 20: talk about the red Man, and you know he may
Speaker 20: not be a fan of the red So what do
Speaker 20: you do in that case? It's the same thing. You
Speaker 20: have to turn the other cheek and realize that what's
Speaker 20: ultimately important in this world is the love and the
Speaker 20: compassion that we have for one another above everything.
Speaker 6: Well, again, we talk about his kids.
Speaker 5: He has got a couple of wonderful I love my
Speaker 5: niece and nephew. I mean, how they came out of
Speaker 5: that that septic tank of thought?
Speaker 6: I have no idea. But there they're wonderful.
Speaker 5: We talk about kids, we talk about life, you know,
Speaker 5: and I mean, he's this close to being a full
Speaker 5: on Marxist, but he really likes to make money.
Speaker 7: So you know, oh, that's interesting.
Speaker 6: I'll give him that.
Speaker 5: The Trump derangement syndrome that we have seen, and it
Speaker 5: still does exist mostly. I have noticed, doctor Hubert, that
Speaker 5: most of the Trump derangement syndrome actually exist within the media.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't see it on the streets. I
Speaker 5: don't hear it among people, especially after this election. I
Speaker 5: really don't hear a whole lot of just nonsensical, non
Speaker 5: foundational Trump hate after this election. And I was really
Speaker 5: concerned because I knew, just in my gut, I knew
Speaker 5: this was going to be too big for fraud or
Speaker 5: improprieties to rule the day. And I thought Trump was
Speaker 5: going to win. But I fully expected the other side
Speaker 5: to be, you know, doing what we saw in twenty twenty,
Speaker 5: burning buildings and marching in the streets.
Speaker 6: We haven't seen that. What do you think is the difference?
Speaker 5: I mean, besides, we were, you know, at the beginnings
Speaker 5: of the COVID scamdemic. What do you think is the difference. Now,
Speaker 5: do you think more people realize that, you know, he
Speaker 5: was president once and the world didn't fall apart, My
Speaker 5: life wasn't terrible.
Speaker 6: But what is.
Speaker 5: The reason that we haven't seen that knee jerk reaction
Speaker 5: from the other side, the people that hate Donald.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 20: I think in some cases we've seen some very small
Speaker 20: microacts of aggression, someone very extreme. In fact, we have
Speaker 20: a thirty three year old daughter in Seattle who on
Speaker 20: election night, you know, found out that her infirmed dad,
Speaker 20: who she has had to take care of, voted for
Speaker 20: Donald Trump. And she did not like that, and so
Speaker 20: she actually used an ice acc and killed her father.
Speaker 20: And she's now looking at two million dollar bail out
Speaker 20: there and see, and it's pretty disturbing. So individually, I
Speaker 20: think it happens. I think what one of those things
Speaker 20: that happened.
Speaker 9: I think you called out the media.
Speaker 20: I think, you know, if you go back and look
Speaker 20: at whether it was a BLM riots, you know in
Speaker 20: different areas where we had fires and burning houses and
Speaker 20: burning businesses, and you know, answers like, oh, well, the
Speaker 20: businesses have insurance, and you know, not understanding the whole issue.
Speaker 20: It's not just issue the insurance rebuilding and starting over.
Speaker 20: You know, it could take months even a year or
Speaker 20: more to rebuild your building and get your advertise and
Speaker 20: get everything back up. In the meantime, all these people
Speaker 20: have lost jobs. But we had a media that was
Speaker 20: glorifying that and vilifying any outrage. Again, yeah, banning the.
Speaker 6: Flames, fanning the flames. And uh.
Speaker 5: And the media is still I mean, the media still
Speaker 5: has not the leftist media has still not accepted the
Speaker 5: fact that Donald Trump is going to be president again.
Speaker 6: And and well.
Speaker 5: You don't see you don't see the mass psychosis that
Speaker 5: you saw, you know, but.
Speaker 20: I think we see something else. I think I think
Speaker 20: every state, even the states that he lost, gained ground
Speaker 20: as far as the Conservative Party is concerned. If you
Speaker 20: go and look at the numbers games they showed, and
Speaker 20: you know, it's so bad the viewership of a lot
Speaker 20: of what we consider to be mainstream and now they're
Speaker 20: calling it legacy media. You know, they have dropped dramatically
Speaker 20: their numbers. MSNBC has now helped for sale. They're talking
Speaker 20: about laying off their top, top talent in that business
Speaker 20: because they can't afford it. Because what's happening the people
Speaker 20: who buy airtime for advertising, are like, wait a minute,
Speaker 20: you know, you know social media is getting millions more
Speaker 20: views than what you're getting. Why am I putting my
Speaker 20: money here? And it's their right to think that way.
Speaker 20: And all of a sudden they're seeing their their livelihood
Speaker 20: going away because they're not evolving with the country itself.
Speaker 5: And but again again, you haven't seen that with Fox News.
Speaker 6: You could say, well, it's it's the techno.
Speaker 5: It's the technology, it's the platforms that are easing these
Speaker 5: legacy media chains out of business.
Speaker 6: But it's going one way. It's going one way.
Speaker 5: It's going the way of the leftist legacy media of
Speaker 5: the MSNBC's By the way, let me just as a psychologist,
Speaker 5: what about Joe Scarborough and Mika Brazinski's trip.
Speaker 6: To Marrow Lago last Friday? Yeah, this switch? Are they
Speaker 6: just fighting for their jobs?
Speaker 5: Is this like a last ditch psychological attempt to save
Speaker 5: their ass?
Speaker 20: Well, we can say a lot of things about them,
Speaker 20: about you know, their their thought process or their manipulation,
Speaker 20: but one thing we can't say is that these people
Speaker 20: are not jumb They may be ignorant in some ways,
Speaker 20: but they're not dumb. They learned from their mistakes and
Speaker 20: you're seeing some legacy leaders right there. Go what, Well,
Speaker 20: I like my job. I need to change the fit
Speaker 20: the environment and and you know that's that's what evolution
Speaker 20: is about. And I think, uh, they are completely legitimate
Speaker 20: in their switch and uh, you know, we all.
Speaker 7: Know what it is.
Speaker 20: But but doesn't it doesn't amore entertainment.
Speaker 5: Doesn't it also show you how inauthentic they are as people? Yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean they're calling the man Hitler for for the
Speaker 5: last eight years and now suddenly they're they're they're going
Speaker 5: to brunch at mar A Lago and sitting down with
Speaker 5: the Donald for ninety minutes. I mean, would you sit
Speaker 5: down with Hitler if you had the chance? Well maybe
Speaker 5: as a psychologist.
Speaker 20: And well, here's also what happened is the morning after
Speaker 20: Donald Trump was shot, Joe was on the phone with him,
Speaker 20: checking him out and makes sure he's over okay. So
Speaker 20: and he never advertised that until all of a sudden,
Speaker 20: he's going because they're saying when was the last time
Speaker 20: we talked about Honestly, I talked to him the day
Speaker 20: after he was shot on the phone, I you know,
Speaker 20: wanted to check in with him. And it's like, Wow,
Speaker 20: that that's somebody who, above everything else, is a human being.
Speaker 20: And you know, I have friends that are political and
Speaker 20: their families and on the Democratic side, and man, when
Speaker 20: he got shot, every one of them was just a
Speaker 20: fall how the media treated him because they had been
Speaker 20: they grew up in a world where you know, their
Speaker 20: parents were involved in politics and they were getting the
Speaker 20: death threats all the time, and they were having to
Speaker 20: go to school with secret service and.
Speaker 9: Stuff like that.
Speaker 20: It was a very real threat to them, and they're
Speaker 20: appalled at how the media dealt with with Frump shootings.
Speaker 5: With just a couple of minutes left, Doctor John Huber,
Speaker 5: how is how is the ketamine programs going?
Speaker 6: You still treating patients.
Speaker 20: Yes, I'm treating patients, doing a lot of one on
Speaker 20: one and I have you know, people who come in
Speaker 20: all across the country to come and work with me.
Speaker 20: And we're trucking right along, just moving one step at
Speaker 20: a time. And it's really you know, this time of year,
Speaker 20: it's kind of a mixed blessing because the holidays are here,
Speaker 20: so so in mental health, as far as you know,
Speaker 20: I'm not at a hospital or or any kind of
Speaker 20: center like that. So what tends to happen is that
Speaker 20: things slow down because people are prepping to go spend
Speaker 20: time with family and friends and maybe maybe getting a
Speaker 20: little winter break, maybe some snow c and m and
Speaker 20: stuff like that. But that that gives me more time
Speaker 20: with my family. So this is kind of a slower
Speaker 20: time of the year for me, which was great. But
Speaker 20: at the same time, we're here and we're we're helping
Speaker 20: our patients need it well.
Speaker 5: Doctor John Hubert, Happy Holidays, Happy Thanksgiving, my favorite, my
Speaker 5: favorite holiday of the year, and Christmas right behind there.
Speaker 5: And I know that you've got a wonderful family there
Speaker 5: in Austin, Texas and you're going to have a blessed time.
Speaker 5: I'm just thinking that and praying that and hoping the
Speaker 5: best for you. And I know we will talk soon,
Speaker 5: if not on the air, absolutely just on the telephone
Speaker 5: like we often do. And to Jess and everybody else, Uh, Mary, Holidays,
Speaker 5: Mary New Years, has Eddie.
Speaker 20: Merry Christmas, Happy Honika, all the above. And I know
Speaker 20: you are very much about about you know, friends and
Speaker 20: people not being left behind and left out. I know
Speaker 20: your activities on the time of year, and you're just
Speaker 20: an amazing person and you know people should know more
Speaker 20: about about what you do on the site, and I'm
Speaker 20: not going to push that unless you want to. But
Speaker 20: but I think it's amazing what you do. Uh. I
Speaker 20: don't think many people in the media or your listeners
Speaker 20: actually know how much you care about your fellow man,
Speaker 20: regardless of anything that's superficial. Well, doctor how you are
Speaker 20: an amazing human.
Speaker 6: I appreciate you saying that.
Speaker 5: And the check is in the mail, Doctor John Hubert,
Speaker 5: forensic psychologist, as always amazing Doctor James Thorpe coming up
Speaker 5: next on his new books Sacrifice.
Speaker 6: You won't want to miss it.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, in the entreged forest, Eddie and Rocky are wearing.
Speaker 6: Suits of armor.
Speaker 14: Well, the King's giving away his daughter's hand in marriage
Speaker 14: to anyone who can defeat the Black Knight.
Speaker 6: I took him on the toughest in the NFL. We'll
Speaker 6: whoop this guy.
Speaker 10: Are you sure he's already slain forty of the King's
Speaker 10: top nights forty in violent, gruesome, bloody ways.
Speaker 6: Yes, but we could become loyalty.
Speaker 3: Here, take a look at the princess.
Speaker 6: Oh no thanks, I'm done.
Speaker 10: Eddie and Rocky give your day a fairy tale ending
Speaker 10: tomorrow afternoon.
Speaker 6: At three on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 18: So many people here are getting real lasting joint pain
Speaker 18: relief from qc can
