Jeez for sounding sick or rough or horse. I was sickly last Friday,
0:05
still got the sickness, but medicaid. It's always nice. Wh they give
0:09
you medication. They say, do not operate heavy machinery, do not drive,
0:13
and then you go, well, this must be great, and I
0:16
don't know. It has a slowed down my coughing some in the misery that
0:20
goes along with it. And we'll get through the night and hopefully I won't
0:22
have to turn the mic off too much in the midst of that as we
0:25
try to get through it in some fashion or another. Appreciate you being here.
0:29
Stone Shields is producing. Great to see Lance McCallister and enjoyed that off
0:33
to beaten path, the brush with greatness and celebrity kind of thing. Always
0:37
good conversation, fun, great calls. Later on we will talk to Kevin
0:41
Carr, fat guys at the movies. There's a new Ghostbusters film and there's
0:45
some other stuff out there. We'll pick his brain on that. We also
0:49
have David bring the Pain purdon for ESPN Chalk. He is going to give
0:54
us some perspective in the business of sports betting, which is what is his
0:57
wheelhouse in the midst of this March madness scenario with NCAA tournament to the n
1:03
T which, of course basketball bear cats back at it tomorrow afternoon with another
1:07
round of that, plus all the women's action that has been huge, and
1:11
how that certainly has seemingly changed over really the last couple of years and so
1:18
forth, and just got confirmation. Doctor Dona Schlehek, a former head of
1:22
political science at Wright State University, will join us to give us some perspective
1:26
on the ISIS at tax they've taken credit for in Moscow, and how it's
1:34
amazing the enemies that ISIS has and how they choose and who they choose to
1:40
attack. And the United States had actually warned Russia their officials there that there
1:47
was a danger of domestic terrorism in Moscow, specifically from ISIS or other groups
1:53
and so forth, So we'll talk on that in the politics of it in
1:56
the midst of well, it's odd we still do business with Russia sort of
2:00
like China, bit different yet clearly not exactly getting along on every front,
2:06
yet trying to help in a level of cooperation dealing with the threat of terrorism.
2:10
Even with Ukraine and everything else that's been going on. Very interesting.
2:14
So doctor Schleyck, after eleven o'clock, cold bit of ground to cover, I want to start with something that's a little bit different. And I don't
2:20
know if you've noticed this or not. This is odd, but if you're
2:23
on the road, and chances are you are right now in the midst of
2:28
some rain here in the Tri State, if you look at the I'll say
2:32
mile markers for a reason. If you're on seventy one or seventy five wherever
2:37
you go, if there's a sign that says next exit two miles, three
2:39
miles, it's miles. You don't see a whole lot of kilometers. I
2:43
remember when I was a little kid and taking a drive, there was one
2:47
sign between Dayton and Cincinnati that I can recall, and there was a sign
2:52
between Dayton and Columbus because I remember, I was like, what's kilometers?
2:57
And I was just a little kid, and they were going through teaching metric
3:00
system stuff in school and to the empirical system. What we're using forever inches
3:06
and you know, weights and measures, gallons, acres compared to you know,
3:09
hec tears or whatever else that goes with it. So in the midst
3:14
of the sickness. I get to the I called the doctor's office. I
3:17
know this is convoluted, but work with me here. I called the doctor's
3:23
office. They go, hey, we don't want to see you. Got a respiratory sinus problem. I'm like, it's not COVID. I've taken two
3:28
home COVID tests. Now you've They're like, we don't care. We don't
3:30
want you here. Go see the urgent care or the er I'm like,
3:34
well, I'm not er worthy, don't want to get er worthy. That's
3:37
why I'm calling you. They're like, that's not our problem. And if I went to the urgent care. So I get to the urgent care and
3:44
they give me the medication, prescriptions and so forth, and I get it.
3:47
And it's the first time I've ever seen this happen, except when I
3:51
was in Mexico and got medication while I was there for like allergies or something,
3:54
and it was there was no hey, take a tea spoon or a
3:58
tablespoon of this, you know, every six hours as needed or whatever for
4:02
calling congestion and so forth. It was a five milli leaders, which is
4:06
by the way, if you don't already know. And maybe kids are ahead
4:10
of the game. Maybe I'm just an old guy now about this. But
4:15
I had the phone, I had the technology. I could do it without
4:18
looking at the spoons in the cupboard that apparently in the drawer already had a
4:23
comparison for teaspoon to milli leaders, tablespoon to milli leaders. Normally they don't
4:28
pay attention, right And I look at it and I see and it's okay.
4:31
So that's just a teaspoon. I don't know if you have problems with
4:33
this. Has this happened to you? Is there all of a sudden now
4:38
a cram down of the metric system that i'munaware of. Is they update signs
4:42
or something? Or is my pharmacy or the doctor who wrote this script clearly
4:46
just focused on metric system stuff. I was able to overcome it, and
4:51
I'm thinking about it, and I was feeling horrible. I'm way better now,
4:56
as crappy as I feel. But have you had to deal with the
4:59
metric system situation? Is that nothing? Am I just whining? Is that
5:02
what it is? Part of me goes you know, this isn't even anything.
5:05
But I talked to my one neighbor about it. Walking the dog,
5:09
which is how a lot of my conversations and queries go. If neighbors aren't
5:14
asking me, I'm asking them. And he goes, yeah, I've seen that, and he's, you know, going on saying it's a plot,
5:19
it's some type of conspiracy, which is what he says to me a lot
5:23
of the time. Guy lives a few doors down five one, three,
5:26
seven, four, nine, seven thousand, eight hundred, the big one.
5:28
You can talk back the iHeartRadio app. Just click on that microphone.
5:31
You can leave a message. I'm also on X that's Sterling at Sterling Radio.
5:36
You can find me there. I'm just wondering how often you've come across
5:40
this. I've seen it where both are listed, right, I mean,
5:43
that's pretty common. And if you get like a ready to assemble furniture,
5:46
if you may maybe visit just about any place with one of those flat packed
5:50
bits of furniture. Maybe you go the place where they have the sweetest meatballs
5:56
always available, and a lot of salmon and so forth, off of seventy
6:00
five with a big yellow like yellowish blue sign ike is what they're called.
6:03
And you might see a lot of metric system stuff there and a lot of
6:08
you know, here's a here's a you know, an L wrench. Good
6:11
luck, you'll solve your your solution with assembly with this scenario and a screwdriver.
6:15
Good luck. But I have in my memory I don't recall a time
6:20
where I have gotten something that is strictly exclusively by direction and design only metric
6:28
system stuff for America, for the United States, for US, here we
6:31
the people. So is this a regular occurrence? And I'm just now catching
6:36
up when I had COVID, which I think is the last time I actually
6:39
had prescription medicine. Both times, I don't recall receiving anything that told me
6:46
anything in metric stuff. But it was a hiccup for a moment, and
6:49
I'm thinking, is this a new thing or did I just happen to see
6:53
Maybe they did it just to see if I talk about it on the radio.
6:56
I don't know. Five point three seven four nine, eight hundred the
6:59
Big One. You got a talk pack on the iHeartRadio app. Will also
7:01
have updates on this horrible terrorist attack in Moscow and doctor Donnas Schlake going to
7:06
join us on that. David Bring the Pain Permanent for ESPN shalk talking Sports
7:11
Betting up at a nine thirty five or so and Kevin Carr fat guys at
7:15
the movies about the new Ghostbusters, and who knows what else. I appreciate
7:18
you being here. I'll limit my coughing to as little interruption as possible.
7:24
I am glad to be here, even though my headphones are seemingly only working
7:27
in one ear for some reason, unless my ear has stopped working, which
7:30
maybe I overdosed on the medicine not realizing it was millal leaders instead of tea
7:34
spoons. Don't know, quick break come back. Appreciate you being here.
7:39
It's a wet Friday night, trying to have a little fun here on the
7:42
Nation station at Stirling seven hundred WLW. So maybe you were in a car
7:46
wreck, or you had to deliver a baby on a bus, or maybe
7:50
you're being pro by aliens on the space yet pouch. Whatever. If you
7:56
have missed part of the Edding and Rocky show, all you have to do
7:59
is listen to the podcast of the show in your iHeartRadio app and catch what
8:03
you miss. Hey, listen, it's our gift to you. Are you
8:07
a business owner? CEO? Friday night showers thirty five close to fifty for
8:11
your Saturday clear and the rain gets out of here, then middle fifties,
8:15
close to sixty. Sunday Monday nearer seventy, and I think Sunday's closer to
8:20
normal whatever that is anymore, I have no idea. It's forty six now
8:24
your severe weather station seven hundred WLW. Glad you're along. I was asking
8:28
about the metrics system. Later. By the way, A David to bring
8:31
the pain Pert. I'm going to join us. I think it's a nine thirty five after the news. We'll talk to him about sports betting and the
8:37
madness of March, tons of hoops action. You get the NCAA's the women
8:43
as well. You get the nit basketball beer cats playing on in that and
8:46
so much other stuff. We'll talk to him about always good cover stuff like
8:48
that for ESPN chalk and in the meantime, metric system issues. I just
8:52
I got prescriptions for the sickness I've had for the better part of the last
8:56
week, which has just been miserable, and it was on the verge of
9:00
not coming in tonight. I was like, well, if I don't show up, who and I mean, you know, I only work a couple
9:03
of days here, so if I can't show it for this I mean really,
9:07
so I've in here. I'm medicated. I will sanitize and martinize after
9:11
this. I'm not spreading the disease, if you will. But I am
9:13
down with a sickness all on the mend, just the same. And it
9:18
is sort of like dealing with this. I get these medicines from the pharmacy,
9:22
and it's all telling me in metrics, the metrics system of you know,
9:26
five milliliters however many times a day for this and so on. And
9:30
I've never had it where it was just only the metrics system. Now,
9:33
I'm a grown man. I was raised right. I have technology in the
9:35
palm of my hand. I can figure stuff out. But what about the agent? What about the elderly? And do we have a new date for
9:41
starting metrics system only action here in the tri State or the country, or
9:45
Ohio or somewhere that I missed the meeting. For God's sake, someone helped
9:48
me to west Chesterwood Mark Sterling on seven hundred WLW Mark. How are you,
9:56
hey? Mark? Hello? Hey man? What's up? Hey buddy?
10:01
Nice talking to you a long time listener. Thank you for taking a call. Yes, sir, what's up? As far as the measure system.
10:07
I have a few things about that. We should not be pushed to
10:13
use the metric system in my opinion. Okay, now, if if the
10:20
engineers who make, you know, the blueprints and all this kind of stuff
10:26
go okay, nine sixteen so or fifteen millimeter, or they go all right,
10:30
half inch or thirteen milimeter, that would be very helpful instead of us
10:35
reverse engineering everything. You know what I mean, And I think I do.
10:41
I think I do. And you know what's weird is apparently like the
10:43
rest of the world is on the metric system and we're the only people who
10:46
aren't anymore, which is weird. And I guess the transition gives me a
10:50
headache, especially if I'm trying to work on something I'm like using like a
10:54
ratchet, and I'm trying to figure out what I'm supposed to use, and
10:56
I'm like, that's not that's not it, you know, and back and forth you go. It's exactly because you know, if you get the wrong
11:05
socket or wrench on area slips off, your knuckles are bleeding. I mean,
11:11
I don't think we should have to adapt to that, is what I'm trying to say of the world. If the rest of the world wants to
11:16
adapt to that, so be it. I'm for that. I'm with you.
11:20
Maybe I overdosed on the drugs I don't even know. Maybe the costs
11:24
here if I've had too much, But I think I found my way.
11:26
Five MILLI leader is a teaspoon, so I think I'm in good shape.
11:28
Mark. I appreciate the call. I understand it. Maybe it's true they
11:31
should conform to us. We should just stick with what we're doing. But
11:35
no one asked me when I picked up my no one told me either. They were like, here, it's a teaspoon, it's a mill leader.
11:39
I guess they figured I was grown and should be able to figure it out,
11:43
which is maybe the case. Maybe it's just the aged who are whining
11:46
and crying, and I'm being part of the problem, even though I've was raised to be a part of the solution. To trend in Harvey was sterling
11:52
on the big on what about this metric system? Is it a plot or what? Well? First of all, first time a long time listener appreciate
12:01
it. I think the metric system has its goods and bads. It depends
12:05
on what you're doing with it. Like in the medicine, world. You
12:07
know, the first time I got a liquid medicine that was seven hundred and
12:11
fifteen mil liters, Like, what the heck is that? That's it?
12:16
You know how much is that? Now? I didn't know how much stake,
12:20
so you know through the Google and everything else, it's three quarters of
12:24
a table spoof. Yeah, well, why can't they just say three corners
12:28
of a table spoof. Maybe they've just decided it saves inc if they put
12:31
it out there for everybody the same way. But I would just wish I
12:33
would have gotten the memo. I mean, you know, I'm already half out of it because I'm sick, and then half out of it with the
12:39
medicine, and arguably I had a blunt head trauma Harvey. I'm not using
12:43
that as an excuse. I'm just saying it's some things are challenging for me
12:46
on a daily basis. They try to make sense of stuff. They should be making it easier, not harder. I agree. But also, you
12:54
know, I think that when they started this metric system, you know,
12:58
way back when they started it, I don't know, I think they were
13:03
getting a little too precise with what had to be done and nothing has to
13:09
be that precise unless you're maybe putting like, you know, wheels on aircraft
13:15
or well, you know, I've I've been a mechanic and I've install machinery
13:20
all my life, and they give us that stuff and it's like, you
13:24
know what, close enough forks and then after that the day, as long
13:30
as it's in with it within a sixteenth of an ant, you're okay.
13:33
Okay, So why even bother? Yeah, that's a solid question. I
13:37
don't know. It's all beyond my pay grade. I'm just looking for guidance,
13:39
Harvey. I appreciate it. I think you helped me, like like the maths the thing. You know, I don't think that I'll ever go
13:43
away, But to me, it's it's you know, you gotta you gotta
13:50
take it, so you got to figure it out. I just know that seven fifty is three quarters of a tablespoon, so minus two fifty of that
13:58
is half a tablespoon. Go. But I shouldn't have to break down the
14:03
math. I'm already having challenging issues coughing and everything else. All I'm saying
14:05
is I wrote the little y. All of us to school at least one
14:09
of my five high schools. Harvey make it easier, not harder. I
14:11
appreciate the call, that's all I'm saying. Make it easier, not harder.
14:16
But maybe it's just that we are arrogant in our American ideas, because
14:22
I kind of go, you know, why is that something we got to
14:24
deal with here? But and I totally I remember riding with my uncle Manny,
14:31
driving from Dayton to the Old Riverfront to see the Reds play as a
14:33
little kid. I mean I was probably kindergarten, first grade. You know,
14:37
we're gonna go hit some golf balls along the way and everything else.
14:39
And I remember there was a sign between Dayton and Cincinnati that mentioned how many
14:43
kilometers to I don't know if it was to downtown or exactly what it was,
14:46
and they broke down. You know, the actual variance. I guess
14:50
if you were going to get your slide rule out and figure out the difference mile to kilometer or the reverse, you could see it. And the same
14:56
thing on the way to Columbus. But you don't see those signs mass But
15:01
apparently if you want to go get some cough syrup, you got to figure
15:03
it out. Thankfully, Thankfully the technology is there because if I had to
15:07
do like the straight on figure it for memory and math when I was in
15:11
school. It is not happening straight away. You're nine thirty report Taron Johnson
15:16
has it. I heard him in earlier. Given tons of information that's useful for us in the tri State from a round planet Earth. The latest on
15:22
the ugly terrorist attack in Moscow that concert venue. We'll talk to David Bring
15:26
the pain Pernam on the other side of news about well gambling, sports betting,
15:33
the madness of March, Major League Baseball. See if I can't get
15:35
a little conversation about apparently it pays to have an interpreter to blame. If
15:41
Pete Rose could have had an interpreter to blame for the betting on baseball,
15:46
he'd be in the Hall of Fame. That's all I'm saying. It's sterling
15:50
seven hundred WLW. Here we are, it's the weekend, Friday night,
15:54
Sterling seven hundred wlw. The insanity is upon us since March. Guy who
15:58
knows from crazy when it comes to betting and wagering and the business of sports
16:03
betting for ESPN chalk as David Bring the Pain Purdam with Stirling on seven hundred
16:08
w WELLW appreciate you making time. David. How's everything? Man? Everything's
16:12
you an except for my bracket? It is destroyed. Is it a lot
16:17
of ugliness? I know a lot of people have said that they've had some bleeding. Yes, mine, it is definitely bleeding lots. I'm sorry to
16:23
hear that. You know now, but you are probably even though you've said
16:27
you cover sports betting, you are not a good better. How is that?
16:32
Where's the disconnect and how's that play for you? By the way, well, I certainly learned what the sophisticated professional betters have done. I've been
16:44
covering sports betting for over fifteen years now, yeah, yeah, and so
16:48
I've talked to them. I see you at how they work, and frankly,
16:52
I don't have the energy or the time or do you want to do
16:56
what it takes to be a professional better. So I'm going to be one
17:00
of those guys that does a little research. I do enjoy kind of looking
17:04
at things, looking at the points, spreads, looking at the two teams
17:07
and trying to figure out an angle. I'm going to bet it before the
17:12
game and I'm going to watch that, you know, watch it as the
17:15
game code plays out. Are you Are you doing much? Do you do
17:18
much during the game, because there's a lot of all these days too.
17:22
That was exactly what I was getting ready to say that, you know,
17:25
today's better A lot of their actions during the game, they're placing bets when
17:30
the odds go you know, favorable on one team, and then twenty minutes
17:36
later they may have another bet on the other team, just a different odds.
17:40
It's just a constant to me at the constant hassle. I can we
17:44
can't believe watching a game and doing all that. I would rather sit back
17:47
and root for my one bet that I've made during the pregame. It's an
17:51
amazing thing. And we've talked for a lot of years, talking to David Purdain from ESPN Chalk Sterling seven hundred WLW, A lot of years, a
17:59
number of different places I've worked in, always seemingly coming back here to my
18:03
home here at the Big One and in the Tri State, and you from
18:06
Atlanta to you know, I think you were the Atlanta our Journal Constitution. You've been you know here or there other you were in Slydell. I think
18:11
after I was in New Orleans, you were in slyel which is a stone's
18:14
throw from downtown New Orleans. So you've been doing this a long time,
18:18
and I don't know that I've asked you this since. But there has always
18:22
been a huge amount of money that's been thrown around and wagered. But now
18:27
it's a lot more noticeable. It's a lot more tracked down, I guess
18:32
reportable, because it's all above boarded the books and on the apps. Correct.
18:37
Yeah, we have a more visibility into the betting market than we ever
18:41
have in the US. You know, prior to legalization, which happened in
18:45
twenty eighteen, everything was kind of restricted to you either bet to Nevada or
18:51
you bet with an offshore bookmaker or your local bookmaker at the country club,
18:53
bowl alley, what have you. And you know, those guys aren't opening
18:57
up their books and saying this much was wager we won this much. Now
19:02
States we have thirty eight of them that have launched legal betting markets District of
19:07
Columbia as well, and they file monthly reports and you can see, Okay,
19:11
ten billion dollars or ten million dollars was bet on table tennis in Colorado
19:15
this month, or one hundred million was bet on the Super Bowl or whatever
19:19
it is. So we definitely have more visibility in the sports betting market than
19:23
we ever have now being the March Madness, there's a whole lot more action
19:29
to mess around with, right, I mean, there's so many and then you throw in the nit and even the women's tournament has gotten some action too.
19:34
How big are we talking when it comes to money being wagered over this
19:38
period of time. Yeah, millions of dollars will be wagered on March Badness.
19:44
And that's just at US sports books. The AGA's estimate was over two
19:48
billion bloody major US sports books on the NCAA turner of both men's and women's.
19:55
They estimate that's probably double what's majored on the Super Bowl. And that
19:59
doesn't even count called the bracket pools and all the office pools that are out
20:03
there. You know, ten dollars at your bracket and one hundred people get
20:06
in and wear or take all so forth. So tons of tons of money.
20:11
March Madness is considered the biggest betting of it in American sports, and
20:15
the handle that has wagered on at the amount that's wagered on it is believed
20:19
to be about double what's wagered on the Super Bowl. He's David Purdham from
20:22
ESPN Shock with Sterling on the big one of this tournament action that we're talking
20:27
about. Where is it too early to know? I mean, there is
20:30
some way to find out. I guess who's really getting the bulk of the
20:33
dollars put on the line for them at this point. Is it the big
20:37
names in the top tier sort of you know, favorites, or is it
20:40
a lot of these smaller schools that sort of fanged they were in there because
20:42
they won their conference championship, or you know, they got lucky and played
20:47
in well. Unfortunately for the betting public, Kentucky was the worst case scenario
20:52
for the sports books. The betting public had flocked to Kentucky and bet them
20:56
to win this tournament and Kentucky goes out yesterdays Oakland, So that was paid
21:00
for them. You know, there's still money on the top seeds Yukon being
21:06
the favorite. They are a very short favorite, and they've attracted plenty of
21:10
money. The other number one seeds Purdue North Carolina who I miss, and
21:15
the other number one Houston. They've all attracted their fresh air of money to
21:19
you. So while you'll get the a little bit of sprinkles on your big
21:25
underdogs. The cream of the crop really kind of rise to the top in
21:30
terms of the betting splits. As we look at this, like say Oakland,
21:33
who you know, surprised the world and got by what was a relatively
21:37
young Kentucky team and seemingly now with so much movement, it's like pro sports.
21:44
I mean, you see a lot of these older guys playing. I mean that could be a part of what you know, their situation played into.
21:48
But what I'm curious about here is here's a Horizon leg team. You
21:52
know, one team gets in. I don't know what miracle it would take
21:56
to get more than one team in. As Oakland plays on, they get
22:00
Milwaukee, I think, Or no, that, yeah, I think that.
22:03
Who do they have next? No? North Carolina State? I'm sorry,
22:06
so said. Do they start getting tons of money flooded their way because
22:10
they were such a surprise or is it just that was it? And then
22:14
you kind of figure they're not going to go much further. It depends.
22:18
Last year a good example of Saint Peter's if we remember, I believe they
22:21
went all the way to the Elite eight, and the betting public definitely kind
22:25
of laxed onto that bandwagon. They were considerably bet higher than them. When
22:30
they played North Carolina. There was a ton of money on Saint Peter's to
22:36
pull that upset last year. Books were really kind of worried about it.
22:38
They didn't North Carolina wanted Saint Peter's was ousted, So, I mean he
22:42
usually takes one or two big upset wins to kind of get everybody on that
22:48
bandwagon. So if Oakland were to win again tomorrow versus North Carolina State,
22:52
they'd certainly started attracking more and more attention for the betting public. There you
22:56
go. What am I not asked about specifically that this tournament and obviously the
23:00
women's How about this? What about the women's game? How big has the
23:03
women's basketball in general gotten? And obviously there's one marquee name a part of
23:08
that, but how much has that helped with the interest in the action when
23:12
it comes to the women? Yeah, great question. The women's game has
23:17
seen a massive, massive increase in betting interest. DraftKings told us that they
23:22
are overall mount bet on women's basketball. Year over year increase was fourteen times
23:26
what it was last year, and some of that they said, well,
23:30
you know, we put up a lot more games, and we put up
23:33
a lot more prop bets and things on women's basketball, so that that attributed
23:37
to it. But just the interest and you mentioned the marxtim named Caitlin Clark.
23:41
There are prop bets on her all over all kinds of different things her
23:45
over under on her points. Well, she scored more points in one game
23:48
than a team in the first round scores all together. There's all kinds of
23:52
things like that, And just the interest of IOWA has been off the charts.
23:57
I got anything else about who that you think is worthy of mentioning that
24:00
I haven't asked, because I mean, I'm not going to ask you to
24:03
say who's favorite here or there. I mean that that gets it into a
24:06
weird place. But anything else before I switch gears, because I have one
24:10
more thing to ask you out of the game of basketball. No, I
24:12
can't think of anything. What's the next question? All right? Explain for
24:15
those who don't understand, because Pete Rose, obviously you know we used to
24:19
play those games here on the Big One. Here's a guy who you know
24:22
he lied about the sports betting. He's not in the Hall of Fame as
24:26
a result of it. Here, now we have the biggest name in the game of show hey Otani, he's got an interpreter. We don't even know
24:30
all the ins and outs of the investigation, but that's a weird scenario,
24:34
and it was an illegal, non sanctioned betting scenario where there were millions and
24:41
millions of dollars involved. How big of an issue is this for baseball?
24:44
Let alone O Tanni specifically his interpreter, of course, is in a world
24:47
of hurts too. I would say it's the biggest sports betting story that we've
24:52
had, certainly since the twenty eighteen Supreme Court decision. I would say it
24:57
right was going back to the Tim Donahey referee NBA referee who bet on games
25:03
he officiated. Now, make it clear, we don't know and there's been
25:07
no allegations that there was any kind of fixing going on here. We don't
25:12
even know if Otani was doing the betting. As far as our understanding and
25:18
what people are saying, it was his interpreter that had ran up a pretty
25:22
big tab with like you mentioned, an illegal book maker, something that would
25:27
not have happened if he was betting at a regulated shop. You cannot get
25:32
into severe debt with a regulated sports book, so that wouldn't happened. And
25:36
now we're trying to figure out a lot of layers, and there's a lot of different layers, but I certainly believe this is the biggest story involving sports
25:45
betting easily in the last five to ten years. It's an odd thing,
25:48
and then you add in the Murphy water that it starts in, but then
25:52
you add an interpreter, So there's a lot of If he Roseen had an
25:56
interpreter to blame, my god, he'd be in the Hall of Fame.
26:00
He could be I don't know. I mean, there's a lot of layers
26:03
to that, but it's just bewildering anything else. Before we let you hop, I appreciate you being so free with your time in the Insight, but
26:07
I had to ask you about the baseball thing, because that's just wild.
26:11
Oh absolutely, it's a huge story. The only thing that would make sure
26:14
we distinguish between Pete Rose As far as we know right now, none of
26:18
the betting that took place involving Otani's interpreter was on baseball, right, And
26:23
that's what did d Pete Rose. He bet on baseball. I once you
26:26
bet on baseball, bet on games you're involved in, that's a cardinal senter
26:32
And is that pretty much the universal rule throughout sports now that you can bet
26:36
on other things, but they don't want you betting on anything associated with your
26:38
sports, certainly your team, your action where you're involved, because then it
26:41
starts getting into the shady business of how credible is the game itself. Yeah,
26:47
every major sports league has that rule. If you want to bet on
26:51
the NBA, if you play in the NFL, no big deal. He's a legal operator. You're allowed to do it. If you want to bet
26:56
on the NFL Draft, absolutely not face a suspension. So you can beat
27:02
just don't bet on the games and sports you're involved. There you go. Well, So hopefully it comes out clear that Otani's okay. The interpreter and
27:07
it's just a lot of murky water. It's always good to talk to you.
27:10
Thanks for sort of giving and giving some insight into all the action that's going on now in the midst of it. And it sounds like you're in
27:15
the car, so be safe, man, and I appreciate you always giving
27:17
us some time. You're a good man. You got to have a good weekend. Everybody, take care of yourself. He's David bring the pain perdum

for ESPN Shock Sterling back in a minute, your chance to get interactive.
27:26
Here's what I'm curious about. How much wagering and you're doing during this madness
27:30
of March. Are you into the pool in the office, are you hanging
27:33
out doing squares? And have you done all of that? Are you actually
27:36
on the apps? You know? Are you going to the sports book? How involved and engaged are you or are you disconnected? There's a whole lot
27:42
of people obviously, I mean, you're giving us time tonight. We appreciate
27:45
it. But there's a lot of people paying a lot of close attention to
27:48
that basketball, maybe more than before because there's dollars on the line, or
27:52
maybe more than dollars, like a lot of dollars. More Sterling coming back

27:59
You can talk on the iHeartRadio app. Later. Doctor Donna Schley gonna join
28:03
us give us some insight on the ISIS attack in Moscow and how the US
28:07
warned Russia that there was an impending attack coming to that part of the world
28:11
sooner than later turns out was right, how much they paid attention to the
28:15
US and the weird politics of all of that. Coming up. Also,
28:18
we got Kevin Carr, fat guys in the movies talking about the new Ghosts
28:22
Ghostbusters movie, and much more. Sterling, slightly medicated, less congested on

ACR Gunn Eye Pools in Spas. Call today and swim this year now your
29:00
host Moegger. Alexis Das was the lone Reds All Star in twenty twenty three,
29:07
becoming the first Reds reliever to make the National League All Star team in
29:10
eight years, and for the second straight year, he was named Cincinnati's most
29:14
Outstanding Pitcher. Dz finished the season with thirty seven saves, just two behind
29:18
the National League lead, and he converted his first twenty two save opportunities,
29:23
which was one shy at the club record for most consecutive successful save conversions to
29:29
begin a season. He also had nine wins, which tied him for the
29:32
National League lead for victories by a reliever. He's one of the best closers
29:36
in baseball. Meet Reds reliever Alexis ds Mo has more on seven hundred WLW
29:44
the Home of the Reds in this edition of The Marketers Report, Angelus Apeida
29:48
Chief Market Friday Night. Iron Mate. You know what's really hard for me
29:56
to process right about now is that forty two years ago today, the Number
30:00
of the Beast Iron Maiden album came out. And I can remember I had
30:07
a neighbor whose older brother was like huge into them, and it was always
30:11
playing like Sabbath and Maiden and all this other stuff. And I really at
30:15
that point hadn't really like, I didn't know what all was going on.
30:18
I hadn't gotten my toe touched into the water yet or whatever else. But
30:22
the Number of the Beast turned into it, and I mean, it's an
30:26
incredible album, and it sort of was my welcoming end to everything that has
30:29
been Iron made. And they're still out there doing it, which is just
30:32
an amazing thing. So yeah, forty two years ago today that number of
30:37
the Beast came out, which is just absolutely tremendous. Tonight you'll have a
30:41
chance if you're in it and trying to win it. Of course, a
30:44
nine hundred and seventy seven million dollar jackpot estimated cash out option four hundred and
30:51
sixty seven million dollars. You could buy a reissue copy or all of them
30:56
for probably for that matter, if you got your hand on that mega million's
31:00
jackpot. I'm not sure exactly even when it was won the last time nobody
31:06
got it last Tuesday, there were some match five winners around the country or
31:11
whatever else. This is one of those times where I'll get a text from
31:15
my mom says, you know, you could pick up some lottery tickets for
31:18
me. This is the time you should play, she'd say. And I'm
31:21
like, everybody else is playing to it, Joe, But it's a lot is that I'd have to share with more people, She goes, But still,
31:26
you have a bad attitude. You gotta think positive, you gotta think.
31:30
I was like, I don't think no matter how positively I think,
31:33
it's going to have an effect on the outcome of those numbers, just the
31:36
same five plus that what a megapply your number or whatever it's called tonight,
31:41
nine hundred and seventy seven million dollars. Yeah, I think I could get
31:45
all of those records on vinyl that I would want to try to build up
31:49
that I guess collection again or whatever else. And that is not enough for
31:53
you, and you think, well, maybe I'd like to get in on
31:56
some other action. Tomorrow night, just about twenty five hours, in about
32:00
thirty seconds from right now, seven hundred and fifty million dollar jackpot, that's
32:06
like three quarters of a billion dollars cash value, three hundred and sixty million,
32:09
eight hundred thousand dollars up for grabs. With the powerball, another five
32:15
ball drawing, you get their power plays what they call that one. I
32:17
think you got to pay extra for that one to get in the cash,
32:21
which is wild. So yeah, there's a lot of money to be won, and I would imagine there's a whole lot of people hitting some gas stations
32:28
and mini marts and wherever else you can get those tickets leading up to eleven
32:31
o'clock tonight for the drawing, and then again tomorrow mega millions in Powerball.
32:36
That's a lot of dough that'll handle like a sort of filling in the cost
32:40
of inflation may be down inflation, but it's not all the way down.
32:45
I would think I'd be a lot closer to getting healthy with an extra three
32:50
hundred and sixty million, eight hundred thousand dollars cash money in my pocket.
32:53
And then you get like taxes, right, so because it's an annuity.
32:57
Otherwise you know, what do you even if you give away more than half
33:00
on taxes on that? I'm guessing right, so maybe one hundred and fifty
33:05
hundred and sixty million. Man, it might be tough going on that one.
33:08
I don't know if I could handle it. I think I'd probably have
33:10
some cash money left over. I could probably work it out. I mean
33:15
I might. I might, you know, get a new roof, might
33:17
take a tree down here or there, might buy a new tricycle or something.
33:22
I don't know. You'd find some stuff to do. Stone shieldss like I could find something to do with a couple million dollars, Sterling, I'll
33:27
help you. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, no doubt about
33:29
it. Taron Johnson knows about that, and a whole lot of other stuff
33:32
going on. Ten o'clock reports straight away, next hour, Kevin Carr,
33:36
Fat Guys at the movies. Later, doctor Donna Slak from Wright State,
33:39
former head of political science now professor Emerida, going to talk about that Isis
33:44
attack in Moscow and how the US actually warned Russia that there was an impending
33:49
attack in their capital city and unfortunately turned out to be so Isis doesn't like
33:53
us, doesn't like them. Is just a pain in the ass, basically
33:58
news time, and I'm not making lie it. There's a lot of innocent people lost their lives trying to have a good night out, and that's pretty
34:04
much the circumstance around the world when it comes to issues of terrorism. News
34:08
straight away, more sterling on a Friday night where the Reds play and those
34:12
basketball Bearcats in the nit tomorrow afternoon, seven hundred WLW Cincinnati correctly informed them
34:19
and warned them that they had intelligence information about an impending attack and danger place
34:25
very similar to the circumstance that happened in that music venue, that artists venue
34:30
that happened in Moscow. Over the last several hours with I think the last
34:36
number I saw was upwards of sixty people dead, an uncold number of injured,
34:40
and just a horrible circumstance. Doctor Schlack, who knows, is an
34:45
expert on terrorism and so many other things. We'll talk to her about that.
34:47
Just about an hour's time or so to start. Now, though,
34:52
here's my question, should you be allowed? And I even weird wording this
35:00
question this way, but I'm going to ask it this way because historically in
35:06
the United States, it's been very easy to get married, right, maybe
35:10
not to find the person to marry, depending, but certainly easy to find
35:16
someone in to say I do forever and always stomp that glass, jump that
35:21
broom, whatever it is that you do, or go to the Justice of the peace and sign those documents and legally become partners forever and always till death
35:30
do you part or in at least until you're tired of them, or something
35:34
like that. It was very challenging to get divorced. Historically. You had
35:39
to have a proof of adultery. You had to prove that they left you.
35:45
In other words, they went out for smokes and never came back.
35:47
They were cruel, they'd beat you or abuseia in some type of way or
35:52
something along those lines states didn't want people getting divorced, and primarily it was
36:00
then who had the power when it comes to such things and would have to
36:04
get you know, it would be like who actually has a copy of the
36:06
marriage license? So whoever had the license had the power hand in the relationship
36:12
to say, no, you're not going anywhere, you're not getting anything for
36:15
me. You're either married to me or you're married to me away, but either way I got you. That's not the case anymore at this point.
36:22
California, if I'm not mistaken, was the first state then introduced and allowed
36:28
what they call no fault divorce, going back to the late sixties, nineteen
36:32
sixty nine, nineteen seventy, meaning that if it was a married couple,
36:37
you could get divorced just because you said you didn't want to be with them
36:40
anymore. You didn't have to prove that they had gone out on you,
36:44
that they had done something wrong to you, or that you had done something
36:47
wrong to them for them to be able to say, Okay, we're done.
36:52
And it's a weird place in which we're in now where the mindset it's
36:57
different. More than half of all marriages and in divorce you talk regularly about
37:01
not wanting the government in our lives. Right, In other words, that
37:06
you and I and anyone that we know, consenting adults should be able to
37:08
live their lives freely as long as they're not hurting someone else, right,
37:14
that they're a good citizen. You should be able to do whatever it is that you want, the privacy of your own home, live your life,
37:19
pursue that dream if you will, of happiness, and what have you.
37:23
So what I want to know is this, do you think that not being
37:30
in love is a legally valid reason for divorcing? Should you be allowed to
37:37
divorce? Not because they beat you, not because they cheated, not because
37:40
you got decided that you found love somewhere else that they weren't giving you the
37:45
love. There was not enough loving going on. If you know what I'm
37:47
saying to satisfy you, and you're like, you know what, I got
37:51
to go someplace else. I don't want to step out. I want to get out. Give me you know what's mine, or you keep what's yours,
37:57
and I'm done. Let's get a divorce. Let's get it done.
38:00
Not as easy as that usually five point three seven four nine seven eight hundred.
38:06
The Big one talk back the iHeartRadio app. What I want to know
38:08
is, should you be allowed? Is it appropriate in that type of circumstance
38:13
to say, you know what, don't love you? So I'm done with
38:16
you because I don't do. They ask if they I've not been married?
38:22
Chances are you have? You're if you're an adult, right, I would
38:24
hope. I don't think any kids are getting married. God forbid, that
38:28
is too early, right. I've not jumped the broom, I've not stomped
38:31
the glass. I've not said I do forever and always. I have cohabitated
38:36
or, as my mom would say jokingly with a wink and a smile,
38:38
by the way, lived in sin a couple of times with the various women,
38:43
and usually last between seven and ten years. And then it's, uh,
38:46
I'm tired of them, or they're tired of me, or what have
38:50
you, And then it's on to the next one. And I don't know
38:52
if that's a seven year itch thing or otherwise been close to say and I
38:55
do, but it hasn't worked out. And it's certainly more complicated when you
39:01
have a ring on the finger, when you have the government involved, you
39:05
know, you got to get lawyers involved, you have joint known community property
39:08
to concern yourself with, and you may have kids. Now you don't certainly
39:12
have to be married to have the children, but that is certainly part of
39:15
it when you think about a family unit and moms and dads and little kids
39:20
and so forth. But in the past, it was very challenging for someone
39:24
to get a divorce. The government didn't want people getting divorced. They thought
39:29
it was their responsibility to keep people together. My question is, even though
39:32
you may be against divorce, it may not be for you. Do you
39:36
think the government should tell people that, whether they love each other or not,
39:39
that they should be forced to stay together or work on staying together,
39:44
rather than just doing a disillusion or a cutoff and breaking away and divorcing at
39:51
will five point three seven four nine seven eight hundred the big one. And
39:53
I present it that way because I don't think the government has any business telling
39:57
anybody. I think the government should be in the business in that point.
40:00
If you know, outside looking in, and if you've been through it,
40:04
or if you're a divorce lawyer or a child of divorce or something along those
40:07
lines, your viewpoint may be different. I've had friends and family divorced.
40:14
I've gone out with women who have been divorced, but I still am of
40:19
the opinion that it shouldn't be the government's business other than administratively handle the legality,
40:22
so you can handle what's required for insurance and property ownership and all the
40:27
other stuff that is that when it comes to insurance and kids and care.
40:31
What do you think to Madisonville and Jason with Sterling, you can get interactive
40:36
to five point three seven four nine seven eight hundred the Big One. Jason,
40:39
I appreciate you holding if you're not in love anymore, should you be
40:43
able to get a divorce? H Well, Sterling, I love your show.
40:47
By the way, Thank you mante Es. You know, I was
40:50
going to kind of touch on, you know, how I grew up with
40:53
my parents. You know, my my parents kind of grew up in a
40:57
time where, you know, if you guys got into a disagreement, you
41:00
know, you you pretty much say, well, let's go to bed,
41:04
we'll try to again tomorrow. You know. Sure, my parents were together
41:07
for like thirty years, you know, and maybe it's just like a generally
41:14
generational shift, you know, because everything these days is all social media,
41:21
you know, like everybody's doing the speed dating. Now, you know,
41:24
it's kind of like you get sick of somebody and then you know, people
41:28
just easily move on. It's hard. I mean, it's it's an odd
41:35
thing. But you know, the idea that the government would limit it and
41:38
spread that the no fault divorces, I understand the Jason and looking I did
41:43
a little bit of research here, because you know, got to about forty
41:45
seven states at this point have permitted no fault divorce. Going into the mid
41:52
to late seventies, middle eighties, all fifty states in some fashion have allowed
41:55
it. But now apparently there's groups of so called conservatives that are saying that
42:02
they want to make it harder for people to get divorced because they think that
42:06
the sanctity of marriage has been I guess crapped on by people who don't take
42:12
it seriously. And I understand the idea of it, but isn't that more
42:16
about your personal choice or my personal choice, or our parents or whatever,
42:21
rather than the government getting involved in telling us to do anything. I'm bewildered
42:24
that a conservative would have the mindset that it's the government's business to tell us
42:29
that we have to stay together right, well, and I feel like,
42:32
you know, if it's not going to work out, I mean, you
42:36
know, different people have different situations going on. Sure, you know,
42:39
like people are you know, women are getting abused, men are getting abused,
42:44
you know. I mean, so I think that there's certain circumstances in
42:47
which, you know, you should have to write to say, well,
42:52
you know, this obviously isn't working out for my well being, right,
42:55
you know. And unfortunately it gets more complicated once you get children in involved,
43:00
and you know, because you know, basically your children a property of
43:06
the government too, you know, so that's a scary thought that to a
43:10
certain extent. Anyway, yeah, they kind of are. But at that
43:14
point that the shift of attention and care is for the kids. But you
43:16
know, there's that fine line, right, And I've had a few friends
43:19
like this, Jason. When I was growing up, everybody seemed to think
43:22
that their parents were you know, there was like the perfect family setting.
43:25
Then a couple of my friends got like out of school and the parents were
43:29
divorced, like in a blink of an eye, like they were waiting just to make sure, all right, the kids are out, We're done.
43:34
It's like, how long did you not like to like each other. You
43:37
faked it for how long? That's crazy? Right, Yeah, that's tough.
43:42
Well, you know, well, like I said, you know,
43:45
I think that there's personal circumstances. You know, I'm of the sound mind
43:50
that I don't believe that we should be letting government really interfere in anything.
43:53
Yeah, regarding our lives, because everything that they touch, you know,
43:58
let's be honest, it goes crap, so tends to that's true. I've been accused that's what happens when I touched stuff. But that's a whole other
44:02
problem. Jason Man, I appreciate the call and the kind words. I'm
44:07
glad you're listening to the show, and I appreciate you being a part of it. Well, take a break, we'll come back. So that's where
44:10
Jason stands in no fault. Divorces are fairly common, right, fairly prevalent,
44:16
even though they may get nasty when it comes to how much stuff somebody
44:19
wants to get or how much they want to give and what have you.
44:22
And then you get the kids that there are always an issue. But there
44:24
is a push now and it is oddly enough from so called conservative groups that
44:30
are of the opinion that they want to make it harder for people to get
44:32
a divorce. I just don't think it's any business of the government or your
44:37
neighbor or my neighbors to tell you, me, or anybody else how they
44:42
should live their marital life or divorce life for that matter. What do you
44:45
think? Eight hundred the Big One five point three seven four nine, seven
44:50
thousand. If you're on X at Sterling Radio that's used to be Twitter,
44:52
you can talk back on the iHeartRadio app by clicking on that microphone. Later,
44:57
Kevin Carr, Fat Guys at the movies, Doctor Donna Schlaken give us
45:00
insight on that terrorist attack and Russia and what that means for us is the
45:04
United States tried to give them some warning to let them know that there was
45:07
impending attack on their soil. Turned out, unfortunately, to be accurate.
45:13
Lots to do and your chance to be heard on the other side, quick break, come back on a Friday night seven hundred WLW. Listening to a
45:22
woman shop in the produce section isn't funny? Yeah, a sail on cucumbers
45:27
listening to a woman poot next to the Granny smiths ooops is funny. Eddie
45:32
and Rocky are also funny. So when you think of an apple fartier ooops,
45:37
think of Eddie and Rocky. Eddie and Rocky. Monday afternoon at three
45:42
on seven hundred WLW, Spring is here. It's time Sterling hanging out.
45:49
Nine first winning forecast on the Big One on their Friday night some rain now
45:53
thirty four overnight, loan close to fifty for your Saturday, clear and clouds
45:59
back in the mix. Middle fifties Sunday, which is closer to normal to
46:01
tri state, and then the first of the week close to seventy I think
46:06
sixty seven with rain expected. Right now, it's still a balmy forty five
46:09
year severe weather Station seven hundred WLW basketball Bearcats in action tomorrow. They host
46:16
Bradley at the fifth third Arena in the NIT Tournament, and that's the second
46:22
round. They got by San Francisco seventy three seventy two, and there was
46:28
a lot of drama. Let's see other scores in the NCAA tournament and the
46:34
madness of March which we talked to David bring the Pain Purdam form ESPN.
46:37
We may hear a bit of that conversation again later talking about the business of
46:43
sports betting, which is massive, bigger now than maybe ever when it comes
46:46
to this because it's illegal. Frankly, that's what sort of how it goes.
46:51
But let me just quickly go through winners today. My bracket is slightly
46:53
bloodied. Maybe yours is too. Northwestern one Baylor got by Holgate. Marquette
47:00
got by Western Kentucky that by eighteen, not all that surprising. San Diego
47:07
State escaped Uab Clemson was all over New Mexico. That was in a six
47:13
and eleven. I had that one Yukon pounded Stetson. Yale upset Auburn seventy
47:20
eight, seventy six. That was a mess for a lot of people's bracket.
47:23
Colorado and Florida, Colorado one o two, the Gators one one hundred.
47:29
That in the South regional Duke got by Vermont sixty four to forty seven.
47:34
Texas A and m over Nebraska that mayor that was an eight nine.
47:37
So I mean, that's sort of an either or coin of scenario. I
47:39
suppose let's see what else we got. Perdue got by Grambling, who made
47:45
it through the first four in Dayton to get beat by the boiler Makers.
47:47
Seventy eight point fifty. Alabama got by Charleston one oh nine ninety six.
47:53
Let's see Wisconsin and James Madison right now twenty one James Madison leading wiscon since
48:00
Badger's they're twenty one sixteen. That's first round south of the regional with about
48:04
six minutes left and change Houston all over Longwood in the first half, still
48:08
sometime, a good bit of time left and they're nearly tripled them up twenty
48:12
three to nine right now. The Cougars they look to go deep into the
48:15
tournament later at Utah State and TCU Grand Canyon. That's my pick over Saint
48:20
Mary's. Not that you asked what my pick was. I just thought i'd
48:22
tell you quickly. Let's get Harrison Dave in before the news. We were
48:27
talking about marriage and government involvement and the idea of not being allowed to get
48:32
divorced for no cause, and the idea that a situation where if you're not
48:37
in love anymore, should you be allowed to get divorced, which seems to me it's nobody's business but your own. Dave, what do you think you're
48:42
with Sterling on the big one? Thank Sterling? How's it going. You
48:45
know, that's kind of a two way street with me, because you know,
48:49
to get married, you have to get involved with the government. You
48:52
have to get a license, you have to you know, register, I
48:57
mean, you don't have to do any of that. You don't have to
49:00
legally get married. So, you know, inevitably, if you ever think
49:05
that that's going to happen, with a flip of the coin of what marriage
49:07
is anymore fifty percent sales? Anyway, why go through all of the government
49:14
legality in the first place, that's a solid question. But then you've got
49:16
to get some other documents handled legally to make sure the issues with kids and
49:22
property and shared ownership and I mean all those other things that have to be
49:25
there in case so you're involved with the government anyway. Yeah, well,
49:29
there's no way around it, right, I mean, Rice, it is. But to say that you've got to take a test or you know,
49:35
in some fashion pass a test to be able to say we're done with each
49:37
other. It's ridiculous, isn't it. Well, I don't believe anybody should
49:42
get involved with anybody's lives. It is a personal thing. But you know,
49:45
you know, you cannot do it one way or the other. I
49:50
mean, I'm telling you you can't do that. It's one thing, but you still have to have them part of it, whether you like it or
49:55
not. That's true. Man, these there's no way around it. I
49:59
guess there were places. I guess of all of them, this is the best place to be, which is why we call it home, Dave.
50:04
I appreciate the calling the perspective man. Thank you for listening to be a
50:06
part of the show any time. Take care of yourself. I'm late for
50:08
news. I'm sorry. At ten o'clock, ten thirty report here Kevin Carr
50:13
on the other side. We'll talk movies because that's what he does on a
50:15
Friday night. Sterling Nation Station seven hundred WLW. Kevin Carr with me Fat
50:21
Guys at the Movies, Chubby and Stick podcast. And this isn't a monumental
50:25
weekend for me. Now. I don't know how big it is for you,
50:28
but I can remember being a young Sterling going and seeing Ghostbusters in the
50:31
theater as a little guy and going, how amazing is this where the ghost
50:37
are? Is this new one good? They're never going to live up to
50:40
this movie ever. That's never better Ghostbusters than this movie I'm watching right now
50:45
in nineteen eighty four. I mean, I thought it was fantastic, and
50:50
even now it sort of stands up in a funny, humorous way. But
50:52
they've got a new one. Now, this is this the first or the second where they brought all the most of the originals back, or all the
50:57
originals plus the new generation of They've had two new generations. I'm so confused.
51:02
Okay, just the rocky road of the Ghostbuster movies. Yeah, the
51:07
first one a really great film, aside from the little weird treaty behavior of
51:12
Bill Murray's character, and it still like solds up completely today. Then you
51:15
had five years later Ghostbusters too, which was the same cast. They brought
51:21
everybody back. It was fine, but it was not nearly as good as
51:24
the original. It was a clear sequel that it is a lark to watch
51:30
now, but it's never going to live down as a classic. Then in
51:32
twenty sixteen, after many many years, they did the Hey, let's do
51:37
it all females Ghostbusters and that thing was a disaster and nobody wants to talk
51:42
about that, and they just kind of buried it at the studios with good
51:46
reason. Then they had Ghostbusters After Life come out a couple of years ago,
51:51
back in twenty twenty one, and that was them rebooting the story again
51:55
but keeping it as part of the story from the original two films. So
52:02
in that one, it takes place in Oklahoma, and it's the family and
52:07
the descendants of Egon Spangler, who's played by Harold Ramis, who Harold Ramis
52:14
has passed away, and of course the character had they wrote that, and
52:19
so there was this paranormal event that was happening on Oklahoma. They all had
52:22
kind of kind of bring the Ghostbusters back in a very different environment, and
52:27
you had like Paul Rudd and these kids that the kids of somebody he was
52:32
ended up dating, played by Kerry Coon. And so that was the most
52:37
recent one, and this is a direct sequel to that one. So if you've not seen Ghostbusters Afterlife, the most recent one, it wouldn't hurt to
52:45
go check that to watch it before you check out the new movie, because
52:49
it's it continues their story. You can completely ignore the twenty sixteen version.
52:54
You can just pretend that that doesn't exist, like most people do. But
53:00
it wouldn't hurt to check out Ghostbusters After Life if you're gonna want to check
53:04
out this movie. Is this movie like, I mean, does it stand
53:07
up? Does it have some legs? Like if kids go see this now, will they have the same feeling that we did when we were kids seeing
53:13
the first Ghostbusters? Possibly? Or no, well it's not gonna be as
53:16
iconic, you know what I mean? There was something there really was lightning
53:20
in the bottle with the original Ghostbusters, and that's it's sort of like,
53:23
you know, they've done sequels and spin off TV shows to Psycho, but
53:28
you just never quite I mean, that's such a perfect movie. How do
53:30
you match that? You know, you're always going to be that's gonna be
53:36
the you know what, what's shadowing the shadow moving over you is that you're
53:39
a sequel to Psycho and this one it's the same thing. You're a sequel
53:45
to a really iconic, great movie of the eighties and in a way defined
53:52
part of the generation and part of the decade. So you kind of have
53:55
to You remember, there was that that Centerate Life sketch with John Lovett's and
54:01
he was doing like video dating and he's like, hey, girls, here's
54:06
what you do. Lower your standards. You don't need somebody who's good looking,
54:12
you just need me. I'm loyal. Lower your standards, And that's
54:15
kind of my suggestion for this in a lot of movies, lower your expectations.
54:21
Don't go in expecting, like you said, what it was like when
54:25
you know, we were like twelve years old seeing Ghostbusters in the theater.
54:30
It's not going to be that same thing. But with that said, it's
54:35
it's it's fun, it has action, it has comedy, it has big
54:39
spectacle. Ghosts do get busted throughout the movie. Help, but yeah,
54:46
it's it's not as original well you know, cause so the story is,
54:51
it's the after they move back from Oklahoma and they the new Ghostbusters are trying
54:55
to restart the business in Manhattan where they've got their at the firehouse and they
55:00
get the little Fay, you know, like a referrised ambulance, and they're
55:05
trying to bust ghosts in New York City and there's this entity that's trying to
55:10
break over from the other side and you know, take over the world,
55:14
and they got to stop that. So the movie has that in there,
55:19
but it does kind of it's at odds with itself because there's part of it
55:22
that wants to be the new people, you know, with the kids and
55:25
Paul Rudd, and they have things that have sort of changed the way sort
55:30
of the background of how ghosts work, you know, if you compare them
55:34
to what they did in the original. But then they have the the legacy
55:37
cash you got dan Ackroyd and Ernie Hudson have sizeable roles in there, and
55:42
he pots is in there, Bill Murray. They play it like it's a
55:45
big surprise he shows up, but we've seen him on every piece of advertising
55:50
and poster out there, so you know, Blue Murray's there too, And
55:52
the story seems at odds between those two generations, and you know it's not
55:58
perfect, but you know, you take your kids. I think the kids
56:00
will like it good good, And do they re cycle the Ray Parker Junior
56:07
who you're gonna call Ghostbusters song or no? You know, they don't really
56:10
play that a whole lot, and which I guess part of it is that's
56:15
that's I guess the part of the not the problem, but the hurdles it
56:20
has is how much of that nostalgia do you lean into and how much of
56:25
stuff is normal? Like, for example, there's a there's a character that
56:32
like ends up talking to a ghost and having conversations with the ghosts, and
56:37
I'm like, well, that's kind of not how ghosts worked In the first Ghostbusters. They were all kind of weird and monstrous and strange, you know,
56:44
they weren't just some teenager and so they changed that up. And that's
56:50
where it feels less like Ghostbusters and more like Ghostbusters too, where it was
56:54
trying to work almost a science behind the ghost of that. It just,
57:00
you know, because because because it's ghosts, you know, you're talking about
57:06
the science of capturing ghosts and stuff like that. Got to find the key
57:08
Master. I think in the end there's a callback to the first one master.
57:12
Yeah, yeah, the Gatekeeper. There you go. He's Kevin Carr.
57:15
I'm sterling hanging out at the Nation station seven hundred WLW talking to this
57:19
new Ghostbusters movie. And it's actually called what Frozen Empire? I guess Frozen
57:24
Empire? Right? Right? Is there anything else this weekend that's worth actually
57:29
seeing? And we know there's a ton of basketball that's happening, Uh so
57:31
there's you know, maybe a break from that, or I guess the antithesis,
57:36
the the anti programming to go against it. I guess if you're against
57:38
the basketball. I don't know. Yeah, well, counterprogramming works if you
57:45
don't want to if you don't want to go to the theater. Now, there's some other stuff I haven't seen at all, because we talked about as
57:52
off there. I haven't. I haven't said it on the I talked about it when I was on Eddie and Rocky earlier. I'm pulling back and uh
57:59
no longer hosting the Fat Guys of the Movies radio show and podcast. So
58:02
that's I'm still gonna be doing movie reviews and stuff, and the website's still
58:07
going to be there, but I'm not seeing as many movies right now.
58:09
I'm dialing that back. So there are stuff. There's stuff out there.
58:14
I just haven't seen it. Like that. There's that immaculate movie with Sydney
58:19
Sweeney, right, it's a horror film. I haven't seen. I do
58:22
want to see it, but you know, they're not screening anything now,
58:24
so you know what am I gonna do? And then there is the Roadhouse
58:30
remake is on Amazon Prime. Now. I have not pulled the you know,
58:36
pull the trigger and watch that one. I've heard mixings. I've heard some people say it's great. But then again, sometimes they get caught up
58:42
in the hype of there's like a behind the scenes fight going on with that.
58:46
But I was told by another host they challenged me to watch ten minutes
58:52
in one second of it and then if I could get past that, you
58:57
know, they said it's the worst opening they've ever seen of a movie.
58:59
So well, that's that's some big competition for the borest ten minutes in a
59:04
second of any movie comparison. But that's it. I've told it was good
59:07
by a couple of people, and I've been told that it's a waste of time by others. But that was also what a lot of people said about
59:13
the first movie, as I recall, Well, the thing is, I've
59:16
not watched the first movie in years. When I first when I watched the
59:22
first movie, it was not the iconic nature. It was just some crappy
59:25
Patrick Swayzey movie that went to cable right, and then over the years it
59:30
kind of became iconic, and I've never seen it since. And I got
59:34
admit, when I saw it the first time, I'm like, this is
59:36
a really stupid movie. Yeah, I kind of was too, and then I came back to it went wait, a minute. Did he bowl heart
59:40
out? Is that in his hand? How did he do that? What's
59:43
that about? And then the whole world was like, have you not seen
59:45
this? This is the best movie, And I'm like, I don't know if it really is. Yeah, you know, it's sort of like the
59:50
Goonies effect. I've said this, there's multiple Goonies effects, but one of
59:53
them is Gooties. Was this movie for nineteen eighty five? Lots of fun,
59:57
cute kids movie, absolutely, But but what it ended up happening is
1:00:01
it ended up getting played in a heavy rotation in the late eighties early nineties
1:00:07
on cable like HBO just played it all the time. And so all these
1:00:10
kids who are like a generation below me watched it when it was on cable
1:00:15
and they think it's the greatest movie ever. And I've watched The Goodies.
1:00:17
I'm like, it's fine, but it's not that great. You know,
1:00:22
we all have those movies. You know. I am one person to acknowledge
1:00:27
that Halloween three season of the which is probably not as good as I enjoy
1:00:30
it. And I did watch Leprechaun last weekend, as any good Irish boy
1:00:37
should, absolutely, you know, on Saint Patrick's day. I'll admit Leprechaun's
1:00:42
not a great movie, but it's so terrible it's it's great for what it
1:00:46
is, I think, and it's just what I love about Leprechaun is the
1:00:51
first, like five minutes, five ten minutes, that opening sequence where the
1:00:53
guy brings a Leprechaun over from Ireland and like Murders's wife, and that's like
1:01:00
a legitimately good opening. It's I mean, it's cheesy and it's corny and
1:01:06
it's low budget, but it's legitimately it works. And then Jennifer Anderson shows
1:01:09
up and it just all goes like the two absolute bonkers and Red's rare.
1:01:16
I think in life historically that when you say when Jennifer Aniston shows up,
1:01:20
it goes downhill, it's usually the other way for one reason or not.
1:01:22
Well, no, maybe a little bit. I mean, may be sure
1:01:28
if I were, like, you know, when when she was at the dinner Prime and I were sitting at home and she showed up naked, that
1:01:32
would probably be an upswing in my life. But if uh, you know,
1:01:40
if if you know, I'm pretty sure you know, if she showed
1:01:43
up in the in in what is it? Brad Ditt's House. He's gonna
1:01:49
be like Jesus lady again, you know so? I mean? And then
1:01:52
also in the movies that she did most a lot of the early movies she
1:01:55
did coming right out of Friends. Oh, there are a couple that were
1:01:59
good. Was in Office Space love that, but it wasn't her fault.
1:02:01
I mean Office Space was kind of good in spite of her and along King
1:02:06
Polly. But she did some real crap when she started doing movies. You
1:02:09
do what you gotta do. I guess is there anything else before you let
1:02:13
you go? Now? I'm all like like thinking, man, I need to spend some time watching some Jennifer Aniston. I don't know. This is
1:02:16
just where my head is, but could be the medication I am on Coft
1:02:20
zero. Well you know that's that's probably the best way to take Jennifer and
1:02:24
if you have to, But no, I think that that kind of covers
1:02:30
all right. So Ghostbusters not bad, especially if your kid why not?
1:02:34
And the others whatever, So all right, I don't know what to say.
1:02:37
Now, no longer the chubby and we don't do the chubbying stick.
1:02:39
We could revisit that the fat Guy's the movie Gone. You can't get rid
1:02:43
of me that easy. I'm like a cockroaching man. I know we've been talking off and on for a long, long long time. We were like
1:02:49
eight years old, I think when we started on the radio or something like
1:02:51
that. I don't know. Yeah, it's been a lot. Getting ready to watch the Ghostbusters stick It sounds about right. He's Kevin Carr. Thank
1:02:59
you for making time. Catch up again sooner and later. It's more sterling
1:03:01
coming back in between coughs and medication on a weekend here at the Nation station
1:03:06
seven hunts per tell it strange, Who you gonna come? And something weird
1:03:17
and don't who you're gonna come? Good Day starts with a good morning.
1:03:35
Here's Alice, Here's Rory. Two newly weds who spent the night doing what
1:03:40
newly weds do. The flurry eyed couple need to get ready for work,
1:03:45
so it's plenty of coffee and plenty of Mike McConnell. Mike wakes them up
1:03:50
with the latest news, weather, traffic, sports, and plenty of that
1:03:53
Mike McConnell charm. And look they're wide awake and heading back to the room.
1:04:00
Now that's mcconado magic. Mike McConnell Monday morning at five on seven hundred
1:04:05
WLW. In this week's Marketers Report, Dana Nusbaum, Executive vice president Worldwide
1:04:12
Marketing at Warner Brothers Discovery, weighs in on regional audio marketing and the movies.
1:04:16
Everything that we are doing is incredibly data driven. We are getting signals
1:04:21
in every single day about how specific audiences are performing. So although we're marketing
1:04:27
at a very broad scale and that does include specific local markets, that's really
1:04:31
the beauty of Iheart's network. You're not serving the same message to a consumer
1:04:36
in Nashville necessarily that you may be in New York. You have the ability
1:04:41
to be very specific and very personalized, but at a tremendous scale. As
1:04:45
the number one audio company, iHeartMedia gives marketers access to all from national to
1:04:50
local, every audience, live conversations, trusted influencers, and the insights and
1:04:56
data you need to grow. Not just a media company, I Heeartmedia is
1:05:00
your access company. If you're a marketer, go to iHeart results dot com.
1:05:05
Well, are you forced to give a nosebleed mortgage? Talk to Whitney
1:05:09
Harris. She knows what's up, so she will disseminate mass quantities of information.
1:05:12
And she told me that she got to go to the Great American Ballpark
1:05:15
and sample all the new foods and the old foods. Well, I mean it's new food, newly prepared. I don't mean it's like old food that
1:05:19
was around since like the end of last season. But they got like menu
1:05:24
items and changes and so forth. And I used to be like on the
1:05:27
end and would be invited to these things. I don't know why I'm not
1:05:30
getting these invitations anymore, Like get like mo you get Land. You know,
1:05:34
maybe Eddie and Rocky, maybe Sloaney, I'm sure will, but no
1:05:39
love for Stirling. I'm not bitter. I'm not angry. I'm just saying.
1:05:42
But Whitney Harris was like the food was good. It was good.
1:05:44
She was like, it's bad food, but it's good food. I'm like exactly anyway, So she's about four minutes away. With your eleven o'clock report
1:05:51
coming up, we'll talk to doctor Dona Schleheck after the news. She is
1:05:56
the former head of political science at Wright State, now professor Emeridith. She's
1:06:00
an expert in in terrorism issues politics in general. We'll talk to her about
1:06:04
the issue in Russia Moscow and the attack by ISIS on that music and our
1:06:11
venue, leaving a whole lot of people dead and many more injured, a
1:06:15
horrible circumstance. ISIS has taken credit. The US actually warned Russia about the
1:06:20
impending danger of an imminent attack, which apparently, even though they are enemy
1:06:26
and we have problems, our government still gave him a nod and let them
1:06:30
know that this was something that they should expect. Unfortunately it came to fruition.
1:06:34
We'll talk to her about that. And big news domestically is that the
1:06:39
Senate has somehow found their way to not passing, but blocking and failing the
1:06:45
spending bill temporary or otherwise. So it is likely that we'll be looking at
1:06:49
another partial government shutdown in some fashion. So we'll figure out exactly what the
1:06:56
ins and outs of that are. The House figured it out, the Senate
1:07:00
apparently not. And razor thin margins for GOP types in the House now and
1:07:06
the Senate has its issues. You got to keep the government open. There's
1:07:11
too much at risk, and it costs the economy too much. It's bewildering
1:07:16
the circumstance we're in, and it's just like the same broken record over and
1:07:19
over and over again, last minute solutions, temporary fixes. What's what's the
1:07:25
term that when I was a kid, the kicking the can down the street,
1:07:28
I think is the term that is used. It's like, well, and now apparently they can't even do that. So we'll see exactly what that
1:07:34
means for the government to services, our military, the border and everything else,
1:07:41
which, of course, the border is a mess and has been.
1:07:43
And they had a solution that the Senate passed that the House wouldn't even look
1:07:46
at, that was agreed to, and it was everything that was wanted as
1:07:51
far as tougher things, the toughest immigration bill as I understand it, in
1:07:57
decades the majority of my life, would have been able to be implemented and
1:08:01
have already gotten funds for more security on the border to the south, in
1:08:06
a growing problem to the north. But apparently lawmakers can't get their heads out
1:08:14
of their ass and figure out how to do that. So I'll also talk to doctor Slack about that, because here, you know, it's such an
1:08:19
emergency. It's such a problem with tens of thousands weekly in excess of what
1:08:27
they say now eight to ten million new undocumented types coming across the border that
1:08:31
now have to be hopeful that they'll come back at a court appearance or maybe
1:08:35
they weaseled in without even having to go to court to make an appearance,
1:08:39
to do it the right way. So many of them apparently trying not to
1:08:43
do it the right way, and it's utter chaos. But lawmakers could have
1:08:47
done something. There was an agreed deal in the Senate and couldn't get done,
1:08:53
and a former president was like no, so they were like, okay,
1:08:57
we'll say no. Meanwhile, the talk is, well the borders a
1:09:00
disaster to the borders that well, no kidding, and there could have been
1:09:02
at least some effort in some benefit to getting a fix, but apparently it's
1:09:08
a it's a rectal problem and a heads right up the back end, which
1:09:12
is ridiculous and disturbing. And it's these people in DC not doing the country's
1:09:17
good, which is why they're supposed to be there. So we'll see news
1:09:24
time straight away. Am I bitter? Am I angry? Yeah, I'm
1:09:27
a little bit. We'll try to make sense of all of it, from
1:09:29
the attack in Russia to the issue of the partial government shut down that may
1:09:32
in fact be upon us and to so much more with Donna, Doctor Donna
1:09:36
Shleak. After the news Whitney Harris has it Reds in action tomorrow Cactus lead
1:09:42
stuff, and we are now what six days away technically from Red's opening Day,
1:09:45
and Sunday, if you didn't know, is officially Jim Scott Day in
1:09:50
Cincinnati, which is the way it should be. It's every day is Jim
1:09:54
Scott Day, the home of the Reds on a Friday, Sterling seven hundred
1:09:58
WLW, Cincinnati. Appreciate you being here trying to make sense of things.
1:10:01
Later conversation with David bring to paying Purdham talking about NCAA hopes and the madness
1:10:06
of March and legal sports spending and little show hay Avtani and that interpreter issue
1:10:11
and the investigation around Major League Baseball. Is it gets a well opening days
1:10:16
coming up to the twenty eighth, six days out next Thursday, right next
1:10:19
Wednesday, Thursday, something like that, and well, of course everything else
1:10:24
is happening between then and now you get the NCAA. Hoope's action will keep
1:10:28
you on top of the scores and stuff. Talk to him about wagering and
1:10:31
everything else. After the eleven thirty report right now on the line, Doctor
1:10:35
Donna Schleke. She's a Cincinnati kid, former head of political science at Wright
1:10:40
State University. Professor Amerita is the term she knows from terrorist issues and government
1:10:45
issues and political science and so much more. Thank you, doctor Schlehick for
1:10:49
giving us some time on a Friday night, Sterling, How are you?
1:10:53
I am well, It is good to talk to you. It's been quite
1:10:56
a newsday, hasn't it. It really may be a part and Princess Kate
1:11:00
and corresponds attacking again absolutely help break down here for those who because there's a
1:11:08
couple of layers here to this attack by ISIS, as they've taken credit for
1:11:12
this in Russia, let's start there is I understand it. Even with the
1:11:16
conflicts that the US government and the Russian government have with each other, I
1:11:23
guess Ukraine would be on the top of the list as I understand it.
1:11:26
Reports have said that the United States had actually warned Russia about impending danger of
1:11:30
terrorist attack in Moscow proper, if not elsewhere, and specifically with ISIS and
1:11:35
other terrorist groups. How much do we share in relation to that, considering
1:11:40
we're not exactly friends, No, no, we're not but there is what
1:11:45
they call it duty to share that information, a duty to warn, and
1:11:50
you know, specially directed warnings went out to Americans who were in Moscow at
1:11:56
the time to try to avoid venues like that. But as always you get
1:12:00
a warning like that, and how when where are the big questions? Makes
1:12:04
you think about nine to eleven. You know, we had warnings, we
1:12:09
knew use of aircraft, etc. So I think we had to fulfill that
1:12:14
duty to warn. It will be interesting to see how Putin responds to this,
1:12:20
I think initially, you know, opinion in Russia was, well,
1:12:24
it's obviously Ukraine because as you may know, there are million plus people without
1:12:28
electricity now in Ukraine because of the Russian attacks in the last twenty four to
1:12:32
thirty six hours. They're totally just connected, of course, so I think
1:12:38
all the more importantly, you know, to make sure that Korussan isis k
1:12:43
which is a specific group that got started in Pakistan and you know, hundreds
1:12:48
of thousands of Afghanians have been kicked out of Pakistan. They're active in both
1:12:54
Afghanistan and Pakistan. But apparently their motto says to strike heretics wherever they can,
1:13:01
and this this would be a rather media attention grabbing attack. I'm I'm
1:13:09
I'm interested to see how Putin, you know, just so massively re elected
1:13:13
with nearly what ninety percent of the popular vote arown. How will the ultimate
1:13:19
authoritarian explain how this massive attack has been allowed to happen when even the Americans
1:13:27
had warned them. It's it's not a good you know, it's not a
1:13:30
good situation for Putin right now because authoritarians are supposed to provide order, remind
1:13:36
me again, protect people. So it's it's going to be interesting to watch
1:13:43
how Putin replies to this, where how can you strike? Isis k?
1:13:47
I remind our listeners that this is the group that led the terrorist attack as
1:13:54
we were evacuating Cobble, killing the American servicements, and we'll be hundreds,
1:14:00
if not thousands of Afghanians who were desperately trying to get on one of those
1:14:04
evacuation aircraft. The group, that's the group that we're talking about. And
1:14:12
I'm glad I think it was absolutely appropriate that we warned the Russians, particularly
1:14:18
now, to disflect any attempt for them, you know, to blame the
1:14:20
Ukrainians for this. How much doctor schleheck. As we look at this and
1:14:26
we say, okay, well isis and they're against heretics everywhere, which I
1:14:30
mean, I'm sure they don't exactly like us clearly historically. But when you
1:14:33
look at this is how does the channel of communication open with the sharing of
1:14:39
information such as the fact of the intelligence saying that there's an impending terrorist attack
1:14:45
on foreign land, let alone one that is effectively our enemy, even though
1:14:48
we have business there and you can still travel there, even though they recommend
1:14:51
that we don't. Is this something that is not I mean, is that
1:14:55
a channel that is direct to Putin and his people? That's not something to
1:14:59
the the media. The media there is not like something that was shared. So the people may not even know that we tried to help unless they have
1:15:04
access to outside news. Yes, exactly exactly. They will only know that
1:15:11
off the internet through no state run enterprise. I would be shocked to hear
1:15:15
any Russian journalists saying in public that they had been warned by the United States.
1:15:20
We're not allowed, you know, mustn't, mustn't speak that way about
1:15:25
the great leader. But they will know. Russians get information from outside their
1:15:30
country. Even in the good old day of the printing press. The Russians
1:15:34
came up with something called Sammis duct, which means publishing it yourself, So
1:15:40
word will definitely get around. I don't know if you've seen any of the
1:15:44
of the coverage of what's happening in Moscow. It is it's a scene reminiscent
1:15:48
a bit of the shootings in Los Angeles. Just you know, so many
1:15:53
hundreds of people were hurt just trying to escape and the manhunt is going on.
1:15:59
But you know, isis K is a group very specific to the Talibah
1:16:03
in Afghanistan Pakistan area. So there are whole layers of this story that I'll
1:16:09
be interested as they begin to be revealed, and if the Russians capture any
1:16:14
of the operatives alive. Uh, Doctor Schleik. We've talked about communication in
1:16:18
the past and how much is shared, whether it's between the US and China,
1:16:23
the US and Russia when things aren't exactly the best. The talk of
1:16:26
previously was a Biden and like she hadn't talked in a period of time.
1:16:30
Do we know what the communication is like right now through that diplomatic core and
1:16:34
directly with say the White House when it comes to just regular information sharing and
1:16:41
communication and trying to I guess whatever. I don't know how governments normally talk
1:16:45
and communicate. Now, I don't think most people do let alone when it's
1:16:48
tenuous, as it is with the US and Russia. And this is an
1:16:51
attempt that we made our government to try to help them save their people and
1:16:56
keep some security. We would probably have used the direct intelligence community to intelligence
1:17:02
community, and of course that's directly connected to Putin as well. The Diplomatic
1:17:09
Corps was involved. You know, the warnings went out to all the foreign
1:17:12
nationals because it clearly wasn't going to appear in the local press. But it's
1:17:17
interesting, isn't It's sterling that when relations are really bad, that's when communication
1:17:23
becomes so important. The Chinese and the Russians really stuck it to the United
1:17:29
States today at the Security Council, the US finally puts forward a resolution calling
1:17:35
for the ceasefire, return of hostages, humanitarian aid, et cetera. And
1:17:42
it got a lot of positive votes. But the Chinese and the Russians beat
1:17:45
toted and they have authorities because they're part of that council the same way the
1:17:49
US is. Nothing can go through all the way. So it's symbolic,
1:17:54
But what does this do with the relationship with the US and Israel that you
1:17:58
know, you have these other players of avoiding some type of I guess what
1:18:02
nice document that says you should stop and we're calling for this because it doesn't
1:18:06
really make much difference for any of the players involved. The UN has no
1:18:10
real power or real authority, does it. Well, you're right, it's
1:18:14
mostly symbolic. You know, where is world opinion and for the United States
1:18:19
to put forward this resolution saying we need to cease fire now, you know,
1:18:25
return of hostages and protection that you know, trying to assuage the humanitarian
1:18:30
crisis, the pandemic, the famine that is about to hit millions of people
1:18:36
in the Gaza Strip. It was a signal. It was symbolic, but
1:18:42
it was also a signal to Israel about how much opinion has changed and sentiment
1:18:47
in the United States especially. Probably more important than that resolution, though,
1:18:53
was the speech that Senator Schumer gave that at the Senate about ten days ago,
1:18:59
calling for a change in leadership and an absolute, you know, absolute
1:19:03
rejection of the military operation in that southernmost city in Gaza Rapha, where so
1:19:10
many millions of refugees have gathered. It was it was a signal, it
1:19:14
was communication. And if your greatest, longest trend major funder, and the
1:19:20
one who has stood between you and all the bad times, is basically insisting
1:19:27
that you change your direction, you change the path of these operations. If
1:19:31
the United States is signaling that in the floor of the Senate and in the
1:19:35
Security Council at the United Nations, and of course public opinion in Israel is
1:19:42
following along extremely carefully, we are approaching these signals, approach a real crisis
1:19:48
in the US Israel relationship, one that they simply cannot afford sacrifice. We've
1:19:56
been their biggest supporter, right, I mean, there is no questioning that.
1:19:59
I mean, maybe missing disinformation to say otherwise, and I've had these
1:20:02
conversations with people, but I mean historically, going to the beginning of the
1:20:06
Israeli state as we know it today, in the circumstance with the you know,
1:20:11
the Gaza Strip and you know, the West Bank and everything in a
1:20:15
disaster, that the circumstances surrounding all of this, with the Palestinians and so
1:20:18
forth, there hasn't been no bigger support or financially, defensively, or any
1:20:24
other way to Israel than the United States, even though this Palestinian situation has
1:20:28
been a horrible nightmare even before this, in so many ways, we've been
1:20:34
their supporters in a lot of fashion too, even though we aren't getting a
1:20:39
lot of attention that way, Or am I misunderstanding and have a miss I
1:20:43
guess memory of history. I think you've characterized it very very fairly, very
1:20:48
accurately. What a horrible thorny dilemma these terrorist threats posed to governments, to
1:20:56
the authoritarian government in Moscow, to the democratic government you know, in the
1:21:00
connected of the Jewish people, of the Israeli people. What an incredibly thorny
1:21:06
problem. These small small groups can create so much chaos, so much havoc.
1:21:14
And in addition to the you know, the conflict, the larger conflict
1:21:17
between the Israelis and the Palestinian people. It's the problems never get less thorny,
1:21:24
do they an incredibly complicated it just but the signal, let your point
1:21:30
earlier about its communication, that's what we are signaling to Israel, is that
1:21:36
the United States is now in an absolutely impossible situation. If things don't change
1:21:43
in Israel. The next week or so, it's going to be very interesting.
1:21:47
As you know, the latest round of hostage negotiations are underway. How
1:21:53
ironic that that might break over the weekend, certainly hoping to have it done
1:21:59
here and then, you know, as soon as possible. One can only
1:22:03
imagine between the hostage families and the humanitarian circumstances of the civilian population in Gaza.
1:22:11
Uh hoping and praying for some break. But it is a communication signal
1:22:16
if you lose your last great friend, you know, does Israel really want
1:22:21
to go it alone? Can it go it alone? There is a there's
1:22:27
talk is part of the ceasefire, the humanitarian relief, the hostage negotiation.
1:22:31
Secretary Blincoln has a much bigger plan that he and the Crown Prince of Saudi
1:22:36
Arabia and others are working out about the post conflict situation. The signal to
1:22:43
Israel is get on board with this train. It wants to leave the station.
1:22:46
We want to build a different Middle East, one in which there would
1:22:51
be diplomatic relations, peace, security, progress, prosperity for all. If
1:23:00
we don't hear from the President in the next week or two about this,
1:23:03
I'll be very surprised. Now we're short on time and there's not enough going
1:23:08
on that we've already talked about. I have to ask this, and I
1:23:12
didn't mention it to you before, but you know what's up. And if
1:23:14
you don't have everything, just tell me to shut up. I hear that regularly in my personal life, So it's okay talking to a former professor had
1:23:23
a political science at right stay professor of Merida now doctor Donald Shleke, was
1:23:27
sterling on the big one. Now, the House, which has had their
1:23:30
problems with handling some things, had apparently agreed to and gotten together with a
1:23:36
package for the budget. Yet now the Senate has failed to pass it.
1:23:41
And now what we're looking at is another possible shut down, partially anyway of
1:23:45
the US government. What does this mean for us right here, right now,
1:23:48
as we sit here on a Friday night into a weekend at eleven twenty
1:23:53
one Eastern time. Probably not a great deal of anxiety should be caused by
1:24:02
this, that the Senate is going to run out of time to get their
1:24:06
amendments through and get this get us budget again. But it will probably be
1:24:13
less than a day or two of a shutdown. It's going to be probably
1:24:16
a paperwork nightmare for a lot of people, but for us here who might
1:24:21
be receiving Social Security checks or I mean, go down the list of programs
1:24:27
that people enjoy. Probably no major jolt this time. And you know,
1:24:33
and the House is gone. You know, they've passed it. It's gone.
1:24:36
They're not going to be there for another week and a half to you
1:24:40
know, look at some modified bill that the Senate would like to send.
1:24:42
The deadline is tonight, you're right, and the Senate insisted on the right
1:24:46
to offer up some amendments. You know how prickly that parliamentary procedure thing can
1:24:54
be. That's what's stopping it. They're going to take a few cosmetic changes
1:24:58
to it. And I think there's probably still a five percent chance before midnight
1:25:03
or do we have an hour an hour here? I got an aprite on
1:25:06
my phone, doctor Donna. I don't know if I want to take that
1:25:09
bet, but we'll see how it goes. Uh, And we don't have
1:25:13
time want to do this again. They're now looking to I think was that
1:25:15

1:25:19
know, been in the job six months or lesson and figure it's time for
1:25:23
him to go away now too because he hasn't done what they've wanted. So
1:25:26
boy, it's just like a soap opera. Uh, stay tuned for the
1:25:30

days on the injured list last season, and he still let all Reds pictures
1:26:45
and strikeouts. In his first two seasons, Green has shown flashes of brilliance.
1:26:49
His seven starts of at least six innings and no more than two hits
1:26:53
allowed are the most by a Reds pitcher through his first forty two career appearances.
1:26:58
In a start against the Twins last September, Green had fourteen strikeouts,
1:27:01
the most in the game for a Reds pitcher in twenty three years. In
1:27:04
his previous start, he took a no hitter into the sixth inning against the
1:27:09
Mets. He has one of the most electric arms in baseball. Meet Reds
1:27:13
starting pitcher Hunter Green. Moe has more on seven hundred WLW the home of
1:27:19
the Reds. It's time to get a head start on spring cleaning. Get
1:27:23
rid of all the dart and grime this winter brought to your floors, Keep
1:27:26
your family healthy, and make your card a beast with wrath because he knows
1:27:30
the time is shocked. Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the
1:27:38
Beast, for it is a human number. Its number is six hundred and
1:27:44
sixty six. My mother absolutely hated it when I played this album as a
1:27:51
young sterling in the house on my tenwood stereo that I bought at the super
1:27:56
sale. Iron Maidens the Beast album, Believe it or not. This is
1:28:01
hard for me to imagine because I didn't get it when it first came out.
1:28:03
I was too tiny. But they're still out there doing it first tickets
1:28:09
and flying around and everything else when they're on the road oftentimes. They came
1:28:13
out today nineteen eighty two, March twenty second in the UK Stayside subsequently,
1:28:19
and I remember my buddy, his neighbor, though my neighbor, his older
1:28:24
brother, playing this and a bunch of other stuff. I was like,
1:28:27
what are you playing? What is that? And I remember getting it,
1:28:30
riding my bike down to the record store and putting it on the turntable and
1:28:33
turned it up without the headphones on, and my mother was like, what
1:28:38
are you listening to? The Number of the Beasts the Devil? She was
1:28:42
none too happy about that. I'm like, Mom, it's just rock and
1:28:45
roll. You got to lighten up, lady and changed everything. So yeah,
1:28:49
it's hard to believe. But nineteen eighty two that came out and they're
1:28:54
still out there, gonna be doing some dates this summer too, if I'm
1:28:56
not mistaken. I'm not sure if they're coming back to these states or not,
1:28:59
but they'll be around here and there always incredible live the drawing happened,
1:29:03
I don't know if you're in it or not to win it, Stone Shields.
1:29:06
Maybe he must not have had the I don't know for sure. I'm
1:29:11
guessing that he and Whitney Harris neither one together or I don't know if they're
1:29:15
like a big group buy Nobody asked me, but the big Powerball drawing for
1:29:19
tomorrow, he's not on, he says, unfortunately, no. So he
1:29:21
has to be here no matter what, unless he goes a different direction.
1:29:25
The power Balls tomorrow seven hundred and fifty million dollar cash payout To estimate it
1:29:30
to this point as people keep buying more tickets, three hundred and sixty million,
1:29:32
eight hundred thousand dollars. The cash value of that and tonight was the
1:29:38
Mega Million's drawing, and there's no information as of yet what the drawing,
1:29:43
if there was a winner, or how many. It just says jack pot pending, so we'll find out. But it was a ridiculous sum of money
1:29:51
and those numbers, if you're keeping score at home, three eight, thirty
1:29:56
one, thirty five, forty four and then the mega plier, which is
1:30:01
they made up their own word. It's the number sixteen and that gets you,
1:30:04
I guess three times to pay out. I don't know how that works.
1:30:09
Is three times the pay out of the big jackpot. Maybe I should
1:30:11
buy that. I don't know. I think I was in it, but
1:30:14
I know I did not win it, and if I did, I think i'd still be here Sunday working with Donna d So we'll see if she shows
1:30:20
up. I would hope that she will, but we'll find out. It's
1:30:23
been a while since we've been back together, but we will be straight away
1:30:26
as Red Eye Radio the News with Whitney Harris and good luck with the Maybe
1:30:30
you know, maybe I'm not one of those people's going to ask you for
1:30:33
some cash, you know, But I mean you could do a lot if
1:30:36
you got the powerball win or if you had the mega millions win and maybe
1:30:42
one of those top of the list things is get you your inanymity, get
1:30:45
your attorney, get somebody to be your face, to be your representative,
1:30:47
or wear a mask. That's what I would do to show up to receive
1:30:51
the phony oversized check that no bank's really going to take, that shows the
1:30:56
winner with it, and you just hope the guy that you don't be like
1:30:59
so many of those historically who win these monumental, life changing, multi generational
1:31:04
changing bits of cash money and then they end up making a headline because they're
1:31:11
broke or you know, their destitute and bankrupt in like three to five years
1:31:15
because they don't know how to cope, or too many people coming out of
1:31:19
the woodwork to play like leeches to get a piece of that action, and
1:31:23
maybe they don't know how to say no or something. Could I could go
1:31:27
hide, you would not find me, but I would still show up to
1:31:30
do this because no, I'm not sick in the head. Yes I have
1:31:32
had a blunt head trauma, but I mean, I mean, you know this is I've been doing this more in my life than I haven't. Whatever
1:31:39
it is, I have no idea Whitney Harris has news. She's coming up
1:31:42
the midnight report red Eye Radio to follow Stone Shields. Thank you. Great
1:31:45

1:31:57

1:32:00
been, and there'll be updates on that. Hopefully your bracket's not busted like
1:32:03
mine. I'll talk to you Sunday with Donnade back following ken Brew on Sunday
