Eddie & Jason -- 10/27/25

And Jay's how was the rest of your Sunday after about say four thirty yesterday?

I feel I feel a little hungover after that Bengals loss. And I didn't have any beers this weekend.

Dude.

Let me tell you.

I was at a buddy of mine's house and he had shoot, probably maybe ten twelve people there, Yeah, all watching the game, eating wings.

And whatnot, and all.

Old friends, and everybody's in a jolly mood. And I'm I'm kind of I can't go to a party like that. And I see I'm not a good guy to go to a party like that because I actually watched the game. Yeah, you know, because everybody just kind of everybody else just has the game on the background and right, no big play, Oh wow, what's the score? Yeah, And and my buddy has a couple of TVs. He has one in his kitchen and there he is like a family room, you know,

Yeah, yeah, Because so they get up ten to nothing, and then I remember like, uh what early third quarter. Uh, my colleague get to acquire Kelsey Conway. I sit next to her, and then we were just kind of like talking, Oh, these guys get the four and four and you know, now now you start thinking like, all right, can they bridge that gap to Joe Burrow and the Steelers getting

Well, the thing is Flacco continued to be Flacco. Yes, the offense, well, except for the very very end, there did not sputter at all.

They were killed it well, and even then I turned. I turned to Kelsey. Then I was like, I think the Jets left too much time on the clock. It was still less than two minutes there, and I'm like, okay, I felt like it was going to be a replay of of the Pittsburgh game. And then I'm like, ah, the Bengals better. I literally said this, I'm like, the Bengals better not score too fast here because of their defense.

Now, what's the most common discussion going into this season? Yeah, what do you okay, are you expecting to win every game seventy to sixty eight or something?

Right?

Well, come on, man, right, because it didn't work last year, correct, I mean that offense was potent last year and they still didn't make the playoffs with the healthy Joe Burrow and you keep going back to that, and then you know, and I know this is now rearing its head with all the comments that player personnel director Duke Tobin made it at the combine about you know, hanging on to some paraphrasing, but you know, you know, he talked about, you know, maybe they ran it back with some guys

Let me ask you this, do you know where the extent of his injury because I have not.

Heard I know Zach yesterday. I mean he's talking right now to the media as you and I sit here and talk. You know, I know he had. He was asked in the press conference and he didn't have a report at that point. And he's been he's been battling a back injury over the last few weeks.

And because I was going to ask you if they okay, and that's been the common chatter lately, I'm not you know, I'm not saying anything new here, But if they lose to the Bears this week, is he trade bait?

Realistically? Yes, And again I think it's hard to trade a guy who's not healthy. So yeah, right, you got to see the extent of his injury, but he should be trade bait, and honestly, they should have traded him in the off season in retrospect. But obviously all that stuff's hindsight. I think that they I don't know what they could get or how many guys they could trade

All right, well we'll take a couple of calls. We're going to sprinkle them out throughout the show. Let you sound off on at five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven, eight hundred the big One. Your thoughts on that game yesterday, and I'm sure everybody has a lot of thoughts. Yeah, let's say check in with traffic and weather.

With Eddie, with Jason Williams in for Rocky.

Taking a few calls about your thoughts on that game yesterday by win three seven four nine seven eight hundred.

The big one. Start out with Kurt and Madisonville. Hey, Kurt, what's up?

Hey? Eddie?

Ain't Jason Hey?

So that.

I don't understand why Zach Taylor wasn't fired last night, because I mean, he just got completely out coached. He abandoned the run when it was working, he went back to the throwing the ball, and and I mean, I just don't understand what Zach Taylor is doing.

You know, I agree with your Kurt to a certain extent, and that especially they were they were Chase Brown was running the ball down there, the Jets throat yeah.

Oh and Simon J. P.

Ryan was doing say absolutely ry as well.

You know, I think our offensive line is definitely improved over the last couple of last couple of weeks. But I mean we just our defense is just terrible. They can't tackle, they pick all the wrong angles, uh you know when they're when they're chasing these guys down.

I mean, it's just torrible.

It's really hard to be a Bengals fan, it really is.

Yeah, thanks, Kurt. I mean I get stuff, Kurt, and so I can't argue with everything. He said. Interesting how Kurt immediately goes to the because that's that's what you know? Really, I mean, that's how what how Bengals fans are conditioned like, because the Bengals have put so much in the offense, is that when the offense isn't perfect, or the offense, you know, isn't doing things away like wait, that was

Then let's talk to Jack and Claremont County. Hey Jack, what's up.

Yo?

Jack?

Well we lost Jack. Let's get to Todd. Hey, Todd, what's going on?

Buddy?

Hey?

I think it speaks a lot how lou and Roumo is doing in Andiannapolis with that defense.

He obviously wasn't the problem.

Well, that's you know what, That's something I was going to bring up Todd as a matter of fact, just read, uh was it in the inquired Jason they're talking about? Or maybe I just saw it on social media? A fine man was made a scapegoat of and it was a picture of an aruma.

Yeah, I agree.

That was my That was exactly my column right after they fired and back in what was that Janey in January when they fired him? That was like, I mean, I called it right there. It was a scapegood. I mean, this guy was talked about as one of the top five defensive coordinators in the game the previous year or and then what was the year before that? He was you know, lou An Romo was a hot name for head coaching job, so he didn't suddenly forget how to coach.

I'm good, Hi Eddie, Hi, Jase, Brad.

The first ten to twelve plays on defense.

We look like we're gonna, you know, wipe the.

Stadium with them.

I totally yeah.

You had number the forty nine, Breck Carter, he was all over for the first tame fifteen plays. I don't know what happened after that, but the.

First ten to fifteen plays on defense looked really good to me.

Yeah, and Brad, and thanks Brad, because well that's why I said that earlier. I thought, I thought, man, the first I don't know, almost the first full first quarter, I'm thinking, Wow, like I said before, how bad are they going to beat them?

Because it was looking like it was going to be an ass whipping it did, and it seems like, you know, on one hand, you're like, yeah, you gave them a chance, but you're up fifteen, like if you know, it feels like you're up fifteen in the late in the game, like yeah, you know, yeah, they're not really giving them

Yeah, let's talk to leave.

It's Joe in Lexington. Hey, Joe, what's going on? Buddy?

Hey?

How you doing?

Yeah?

Real quick, I just want to say, yeah, there's a pattern being said, you know and don't know and the police chief of Cincinnati. Uh, you know, I know that would come back to hauntum. But I blamed the front office and just this.

Oh sure, ah did Joe say the police chief?

Yeah, well, well I accidentally lost him there.

Let's let's get to Penny and right quick. Hey Penny in Middletown, what's up.

Hey, I want to just throw out there. You know we were going into this game, go hope we're gonna win. We're lucky enough to get the score first. Well, our guys are gung home and we get down there and Jack says, no, don't go for it on fourth.

Get the field gone.

I mean, there's no points anyhow. He just told them I don't believe in you.

Go for the vehicle.

And I feel like he isn't rowllying the boys like you should. Well oh I should have said, man, I'm sorry.

Penny and thanks and no argument here, And I think maybe something did didn't occur to me, but just their talking to Penny. Maybe that's that shows you something how much the Jets respect the Bengals defense that they went for it on fourth from their own like thirty four or whatever it was. Yeah, that tells you something done.

Yes, coming up, we're going to be talking about the lowering cost of oil. What the hell is going on with that? That's after the news rolling down News Radio seven hundred WLW.

So Jason don't know. Well, I'm sure, I'm sure you have. Notice the falling gas prices. I only need I guess that. I just drive back and forth to work every day pretty much. It's not like I'm driving, you know, I only drive about five miles a day to to and from work, and so I don't need gas that often. But the last time I gassed up was late last week, and I was like, what that's how I was like, that's cool. How low gas was?

I know, whatever reason I hit it when I had to fill up last week, I hit it in a moment where I'm like, oh it was a little higher. Was over three bucks, and but I believe it's generally under three right now, isn't it what.

I'm seeing around here for the most part? Yeah, as low as like I think I saw the other day like two fifty five or something like that. Let's talk to a guy who knows why this stuff is going on. He is Ray Trevino. He runs Peko's Country Energy down around the Fort Worth area. That's where they're headquarters.

RT.

Welcome back, as always a pleasure.

Oh thank you, gentlemen for having me on this great Monday.

So RTI, what can we attribute this to? What's going on?

Well, you know, we've got so many things going on, from President Trump's drill Baby drill mantra, to the seasefires that we're seeing in the Middle East right all the way to the tear floor on China and the continued sanctions on Russia.

Now, how would that be helping us in our in ro because I know that oil production is way up here in the in the States. Are we making are we making up for sellom to the people who can't afford Russian oil anymore?

You know, that's a great question, and yes, he's The answer is yes, it is because of the fourteen million barrels a day that the United States produces. And keep in mind that OPEK no longer has the hold on global markets.

As they used to.

To keep in some perspective, in the nineteen seventies, OPEK had somewhere around fifty percent of the global market cornered.

Now they only have five to seven percent.

So with us only continue to produce more oil than we ever have the price, we are actually keeping the price low for once, and it is America and the Americans that are keeping it down.

The ones I work in the industry. Do you see that continuing on? Certainly? You know during the Trump administration, do you see more oil rigs and oil companies and for lack of a better term, opening up opening up business of drilling.

You know, we will always continue to produce because keep in mind, as we are producing the most oil that we ever had, we do have to continue to drill more wells. Now, I do think our wells will be bigger and more efficient moving forward. For an example, a well that used to be one mile lateral, those wells are now four times at which means that produces as much oil in some cases as four wells used to.

Ray Gelvigno was our guests and Rtie, you know, without getting too wonky for us for US citizens, explain how that works, the drilling latterly process.

That's fascinating to be how that all works.

If you can imagine, Traditionally, we drill well straight down into the ground, We dig a hole, and then at some point we decide that there's a formation that we've always targeted and we try to get as much.

As we can.

But now what we're doing is we then as soon as we're done going vertically, we go horizontal into that zone so that we can then even get more oil out of the zone rather than just straight down. And that has been a game changer along with fracking, and as fracking technology continues to only evolve, we're going to see more and more output as well.

Is there enough oil in this country for to sustain America alone? American? You know, we use our oil for.

You know, that's a great question.

I think combined with natural gas, we could actually sustain ourselves.

Keep in mind that we are producing fourteen million barrels of oil a day.

However, America as a whole, we average using twenty.

One million barrels of oil a day.

So with all the natural gas that we flare, if we could actually harness all of that as well, yes, there could be a chance of us actually doing something like that down the road. All of that being said, I just want to say that that would not be possible just through the infrastructure that America has at this time.

So, Artie, who we always talk about the Middle East and why not, but who, for all intents and purposes, is the most potentially oil rich country on the planet.

You know, I'm going to sit here and say that we are with liquid natural gas.

However, you know, Saudi Arabia and all of them still are the producers of the actual oil.

Just like we are.

But right now, as we continue to move forward to cleaner versions of energy, natural gas will be the next big energy source, barring something from nuclear happens that we don't know about to where nuclear is able to become even more affordable overnight.

What's the goal and so getting back to what it means to the three of us and all of our listeners when we're out, you know, filling our tank up. What will be the goal as we do the you know, the so called drill baby drill thing, you know, is the goal to get gas prices to X amount of dollars and keep it there or to keep going down? Like what what? What generally is the sweet spot that you know, the people who make these decisions and I want to get this too.

Well, if you ask any oil and gas owner or producers like us, we're always going to say that that sweet spot is somewhere between seventy five to eighty five dollars because at that price range per barrel, the United States economy can can continue to grow while every American isn't going to feel it as.

Big in the back pocket.

But really, one of the main goals right now is energy national energy dominance just just as national security is important, our energy security is right there at the same And make no doubt about it. As we continue to lower the gas or prices, that means countries that don't like us, like Russia and Iraq for an example, a few months ago, that price becomes even lower to where they can't continue their wars.

On terror, are their wars around the.

World where they have to come to the bargaining table with America to figure out.

A better way.

So Artie, also you're talking about natural gas, how does will that translate into powering cars eventually that type of thing.

That's definitely one place I do see it going if you take a look. I know here in the North Texas area, our mass Transit is already using compressed natural gas for their buses. And you know that again, it burns so much cleaner than even gasoline does, and we

I understand like gas taxes are different in every state, but you mentioned, you know, the sweet spot being for the industry to get it around seventy five dollars a barrel. What does that translate into in places like Ohio and Kentucky, Indiana? What does that translate into generally per gallon?

When I'm at the pump, guys, I mean, we're we're already seeing about a five percent drop in the price. I think the week of October twentieth, the US gasoline retail.

Average was a dollar eighty three.

But so we're gonna be seeing that two dollars price range here, which is just amazing.

That nine.

Yeah, and so we're going to continue to see that as kids.

That's exactly what I was going to say next, that when you look at it, historically, prices are always lower, just naturally be the fall and heading in the winter. We will see a quick bump when the refinery shut down and switched over to the winter blends, but then will be right.

Back at it.

All Right with that, Ray, we hope everything you've just talked about is going to come true and by Christmas time we'll be looking at that two dollars gallon We're going to hold you to it too.

RT.

I can't wait, as you know, it's being recorded. So I'm on there for saying.

All right, you're on record, our record, Rgie. We appreciate it, man, Thanks so.

Much, Thank you guys, have a wonderful week.

Thank there.

Yeah, so we and just just going around. We just like to drive around the lake and you know, taking the sights and stuff. In the Tahoe City where we where we always stay, the gas was like five I want to say five forty, between five forty and five sixty

Two ninety nine a gallon because of Texas. Oh, in California. That's insane. Man, because I think you were there what in September, right, Yeah, yeah, well mid to mid August, mid August, and I was telling you because I was out in LA for the for the Reds Dodgers series covered for the Inquirer, and oh that it is just it's the brutal.

Go if it goes to Thanksgiving and the travel Thanksgiving and yip ye and I'm supposed to be traveling Thanksgiving the week after thanksgivingsa and like to me and yeah traffic control nice. Uh, let me ask you. You were at the game yestery.

Yes, and earlier I had said I was at a friend's house and when there was probably ten twelve people there, and you know, everybody was being joevial and uh, And like I said, I thought I kind of went away from it for a while. Even though I generally I don't care what's going on in any football game, especially Bengals, I'll watch all of it. So but people were scattered around and then it looked like it was going to be such a butt weapon. People kind of were filtering around and talking and.

On and on.

But then you could kind of see people kind of cocking their head a little bit there in that fourth quarter and going, h well whatever and uh. And anytime the Jets would score, I just assumed that the Bengals were gonna match them and they were never gonna catch up run out, and then the clock was gonna run out, and that'd be that. Let me ask what the mood in the stadium was yesterday. It had to be just complete craziness and then dead silence.

Yeah, there was a lot of a lot of silence there in the in the fourth quarter with each Jets and then when the Jets scored that last touchdown, there were booze, and then when the Bengals didn't convert there on fourth down, there were a lot of booze. And but you would hear it on television. Yeah.

Sure.

The only the only way you can just translate that is the hope is gone. The hope is gone. That there was a lot there was. There was hope that you get this thing, the equalizer, the four and four, and then build from there. And now at three and five, it's over. And that that that's generally the sense that you can take away from those booze and that not just that it's over, but some changes need to happen, and people need to some jobs need to change here. I'm not in the I'm not in the fire. Zach

Gradually, more and more we're starting to notice that the government, because at first you're like, wow, the government's not here and I didn't notice. But gradually it's going to start catching up with us.

There's another great example of it here coming up exactly talking about our court system. It's the circuit courts, the district courts, and the furloughs are starting and as we've already heard about how it's going to affect, especially air travel and such. Here to discuss this court situation is our good friend, our legal expert. He is Jeremy Rosenthal. And Jeremy, how are we doing, buddy?

I'm doing all right?

How are you doing great?

So?

Do tell how how long before we're all going to notice this effect on the court system, because it just sounds like it's getting ready to really mess up.

Courts are pretty resilient animals, so to speak, and I think they're going to service the public for as long as they can where you're going to see a lot of drawbacks are on not necessarily the judges and not necessarily the US Attorney's office. It's going to be more on clerks, Probation department, that type of thing, some of your mental health services that are sort of tied to the courts.

Uh.

That's where you're really going to sort of lagh And the longer it goes, the more damage.

If you will, it will be done.

So are they the courts right now are still just operating as is? Or are those folks not being they're not being paid right or currently.

No, nobody's getting paid.

Uh and and so kind of they did have some money that was sort of set aside uh and and they've exhausted all of that, so they're beginning to furlough certain folks. Courts have to take priority or give priority, if you will, to things that are sort of you know, constitutional in nature.

And it's the obvious stuff, right, it is work.

If you're the FBI and you need a search warrant signed because somebody is trafficking children, right, You're that's gonna happen, right, You're gonna you know, there's a judge who will who will do that and and and take care of that for you. If you have an inmate who uh you know, you're you're, you're. You can't just take people prisoner and then shut the courts down for eight months.

We'll get to you in April. We know you're innocent until proven guilty, but you get it. We're out of money. Uh that that's not really going to work.

So your criminal cases are going to get a lot of statutory preference there. If you have an if you have an intellectual property dispute where you deserve to be paid millions and billions of dollars for whatever widget you came up with from Apple, well you might not get a hearing it yet.

That's that's right.

That's where you're going to see some of that's that's where you're going to see a lot of those carawbacks. And again it's not going to be the front line people. I mean, sam Alito is probably going to read your brief. Whether he's getting a check or not. I'm just guessing. I don't know the man, but I don't know that he'll say, no, my check. I didn't get my check,

If you have a document that needs.

To be filed, uh, and you send it off to the clerk, you might not find anybody home.

And and that's part of the system too.

Jerry Morosenthal is our guests. And yeah, Jeremy, I started to ask you about that. As far as backlogging some of these cases go. I mean, it makes sense what you're where. You're talking about. The stuff that doesn't have to get done is not going to get done until whenever.

Right, that's right?

And yeah, and and to your point with everything else, slowly but surely if and when the grinds to a halt, it you won't notice it until you notice it.

Well, yeah, good switching gears. Uh, let's talk about this gambling case now. Is the whole legality of the whole thing that went down with these NBA guys, It seems to me that that's pretty open and shut or or is it your.

Thoughts, It's going to depend on what kind of evidence they have.

I worry candidly as a sports fan, I worry about a couple of things. First off, I worry that the Cincinnati Bearcats are a little too good, and we might you might need to get a little you might need a little get a little Red Raider.

Action in the Big twelve Championship.

Well, we will see you there, son.

I don't know if tech can get there or not. Anyway, excuse me, but, uh sports betting has never been more problematic. You have fan duel, you have DraftKings, You've got you've got betting casinos and online books that sponsor European you know, English Premier League soccer teams. It's on their jersey, right uh And and and so to keep the tentacles of gambling out of professional sports is has.

Never been more of a challenge.

Uh And and along with a lot of the gambling become becomes a lot of the vice, right, I mean, it's it is you know, big shock, the Gambinos are involved.

Right.

Who knew that, when.

When sports betting became ubiquitous, that I could make a bet on what the Bengals are going to do on.

Third and short?

Who knew that racketeering would would rear its ugly head and that players would be influenced by it? I worry that it's the tip of the iceberg.

Currently.

Uh, you know, the regulation industry of sports books and do you see this, you know, like I think I think one of the I think it's law for if there is just some really abnormal action on something that the sports books are required to flag it. I don't know if I don't know if that's a federal law

Yeah, well that's a good business practice. And that's a great question. And I don't know that I have the answer for you off the top of my head. What I can tell you is that you're you know, who knew that you had to rely on the sportsbook industry to be the honest, upstanding you know, we're going to we're going to come and blow the whistle on our own customers type again, I mean, one of the things that you have and look and you can go back. You can go back over a century, right, you had

Hope to regulate it.

Now.

Maybe maybe you're able to your point, maybe you're able to flag it a little more effectively. Maybe you use some AI tools that say, gosh, there's really a lot of action here on this insignificant women's softball game from Brigham Young University. I'm just pulling. I don't even know if they get a softball to but you could you just you know, you know what I'm saying. So so that way you could sort of maybe maybe trigger and flag it.

Now. I don't know how the FEDS got their attention on Terry Rozier or Chauncey Billups.

Uh.

The two allegations are are are are somewhat different. I don't know if you read about this or not. Chauncey Billups that guy is inviting really big fish to his gambling to to to like a poker night, and they've got like James Bond equipment.

They've got like like X yeah, like the table, like an X ray table, and they've got like a card dealer shooter thing that will that will hear you know.

Skip skip skip a skip skip skip king skip skip skiff you know.

So so it so so.

They're literally right. It is like that movie Honeymoon in Vegas. You remember with James Cohn's character. Uh, you know you guys, remember you guys, You guys are from like the eighties and the nineties, Okay, I.

Mean the reason you watch is Sarah Jessica Parker.

The reason you stay is for Nicholas Cage and the emotion and power he brought to.

That role, right, absolutely, of course.

But yeah, so like he goes and sits down with the guy, right and he's he's a card shark.

And he gets whatever a flush, you.

Know, and and and basically he says, well, okay, you know, I'm gonna take your chance out for the weekend and you don't have to pay me all this money. So it's kind of almost like that, except it was a little more loaded than just you know, we're gonna we're gonna lure you with card sharks. We're gonna just straight up cheat. So that's what Billips has caught for Rosier. It's more of your traditional point shaving allegation.

It's more my.

Foot hurts, I need to sit down. I can't. I can't, I can't.

You know, I'm not gonna be able to get my twelve points that I need to cover.

The the you know, the fan duel line. So so that would be a little more direct if you can prove it.

And you're just your personal opinion on this, Jeremy Rosenthal is our guest, Jeremy your personal opinion as far as Chauncey Billups goes. Somebody was suppositioning the other day that maybe the maybe he did something in a game for the mob a long time ago, and finally they come back and it's time to pay you the.

Pipe when he was a player, When he was a player.

Yeah, that is that is exactly why.

And in Cincinnati, I don't need to tell folks that, you know, because the Pete Rose, this is, this is why baseball was so hyper vigilant about gambling. Maybe too much, right, I'm not saying Pete Rose shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame.

I think enough is enough.

I think that you know, you've got these guys on Porton's enhancing drugs who you can make the same argument that they've got no business.

In the hall. But yeah, that's exactly how this happens.

Is you get some athletes who like to play as well, and then they get in over their head. Phil Nicholson has been very vocal about some of his gambling addiction problems and and so, yes, it's very easy for someone when you owe somebody three four five, it's very easy for them to sort of lean on you and say you're gonna you're gonna shake your drive into the woods on the fourth hole.

You know, it's very easy for that to happen. And then and then it's an integrity issue to your sport.

All right, with that, Jeremy, it's always fascinating body. We appreciate it, thanks so much.

All right, Bearcats Raiders, let's do it, all right, that'll.

Be fun and we'll take that bet, all right, see you, buddy, Jeremy Rosenthal.

Back with Eddie and Jason Williams in for Rocky Today and Jason into the break there where we're talking about it. The headline is no vacation Nation. One in four workers say they didn't take a single vacation day in the last year. While eighty two percent of US workers do have paid time off, nearly a quarter of those didn't take any vacation days in the past year.

Not one one in four people. That's that's so, that's crazy.

It is crazy, and here to discuss whether it is our workplace expert and we we love talking or we don't talk to her enough. As a matter of fact, Julie Balki, welcome back to the program.

Thank you. Just take that up with Sloany. Humanopolizes all my time.

We didn't like to step on any toes around here, you know what. So so Jules, let's talk about this. I mean, if Jason and I were talking about it going into the break, if I should you be working at a place where you're afraid to take a day off or is that kind of speak to the Hey, you're that important.

This country. We all so weird about vacation. There's this weird like it's a badge of honor to not take vacation. I love the phrase of work macho. I'm work macho, I don't mean time off. And it's such a it's so peculiar because when you think about some of the shifts that have happened in the employer employer's relationship, it's any semblance or any whispers of there might be some

Well, Julia, that's great stuff, and I'll sell on the eddy before the break. There is this used to be me back earlier in my career, and it was never anything like I felt like I'm work macho or I'm like, you know, trying to impress anyone. I just felt like I'd made work my identity and I didn't, you know, I was four, I was married, had kids, and I just thought like, I don't really have any hobbies, and I'm like, I grew up with hard working people. Although

Well, it did in.

Some ways, I think. So what's so interesting is what's what's called the younger generations. Let's just say gen Z and lenials, and that's let's call those younger generations and Gen X and boomers are over generations. What's so interesting. I just had an article today in Fact talking about how the younger generations are refusing to when their leaders say jumped, they don't respond with how high? They say why,

Julie Valci is our guest and Julie one of associated with this survey. Thirty six percent of employees report feeling burned out at work? Can you hear about that? All the time? People seem to be more and more burned out at their jobs whatever they for whatever reason. But wouldn't that explain a lot if you if you feel guilty about taking time off and you don't take time off, you're going to get burned out.

It makes sense.

Yeah, yeah, there's it's so complex. There's so many moving cards here, because yes, if you don't take hout time off from work, then yes, your health is going to suffer, your relationships are going to suffer, you won't be as you won't be as as productive or good at work, and it's not sustainable. And so there's that one side

Do you see uh, do you see the changing as I'm a I'm a gen xer and so have a ways to go in my career, But would you see this these numbers changing when gen xers retire?

Yeah, I do think. I do think that when So this past summer, we just passed the mark where there are more gen Z in the workforce than there are boomers. And so it's that the shift is happening very slowly. But just when you look at the way that millennials and gen Z think about work and the work role, the role work plays in a big picture five, it's very different. And so I would imagine we're going to see them lead differently. We're going to see them, you know,

Yeah, I think. I think that's interesting because, like I remember growing up, like my dad was a it worked in a power plant and worked his way up. He didn't go to college to be in a foreman in that power plant, and my mom was an English teacher. They're both retired and enjoying life now, but I mean they worked their butts off. I don't remember my mom or dad ever calling in, but they never said anything to me or my brother's about like you you don't

What's so interesting, you know, is a lot the younger generation. Part of the reason they got this way is they they've lived through their parents getting laid off. So they watched it. They saw the stress on the household, they saw the stress on the marriage. They saw they saw it, and they so they internalize that work is not a guarantee work. You can work your butt off and still

All right, great stuff. Julie always appreciated.

Might take some time off, you deserve some vacations, a few fingers. You're always on the.

Got a really great ovation from the appreciative crowd as so, but as you would have expected, sure as and the videos out there, like you know, you can't see it too well from the press box, but then when you saw the video or like, yeah, the jacket and Anthony Munia is coming up behind him and helping him get the jacket on. That was that was a cool moment. Uh Yeah. The Ring of Honor jacket that the Bengals give and it's you know, lined with tiger print on

Did they have all the players down on the field, because obviously I haven't. I didn't see it.

I actually I saw Boomer and Ken Anderson walking through. I had gone down there and I was walking through the tunnel and walked right by it, and I was like, that's Boomer Ken Anderson.

Buddy.

Uh, that's true. I mean it is. It's crazy.

We'll we'll talk about that in a second. Let's talk about what happened yesterday. Other than what the joy is of event that happened with you. What's uh talk about? Is that that's demoralizing in't it?

Yeah?

I think that's a good word for it. You know, you go against a football team that's on seven, You think that you're going to be able to to you know, string another wind together and get yourself back to five hundred. Well, certainly doesn't turn out that way. You blow an opportunity to to gain ground on the division. Nobody in the AC North is running away with the division. But watch

Out in Baltimore.

You know, John Harbaugh's as good as you get, so they will, they'll get things turned around.

For sure. The warm will turn in Baltimore.

The bottom line is that the Bengals just aren't playing consistent enough in any any phase of the game. Offense, defense are special teams. Inconsistency is the name of the game the Cincinnati Bengals at this stage of the season.

Lap you were in the I saw you in the press room there in the locker room yesterday, and you know you were there for Zach Taylor, and you know he was He didn't. Yeah, and Zach's way, Yeah, He's never gonna name names or call anyone out directly. That's not his style. But you know, he was very very clear about the need for a leader or leaders to step up on the defense. What what did you make of that? And what are you seeing there from your perspective on the leadership piece of the defense?

Yeah, I mean I think, uh, I think that that was the message that Zach was sending.

I agree with you, Jason.

I think he's he's basically calling his players out to step up and play the game the way it's supposed to be played.

Uh.

And you know you don't just need a leader, you need multiple.

Guys, you know, on that on that side of the football really on both sides of the football and in special teams as well. But uh, you know, he feels like he's uh, he's voided leadership, and that can be a difficult place to be if you're the head coach.

For sure.

The message that you're trying to you're trying to convey sometimes doesn't get delivered because you don't have a conduit at the player level in terms of like a captain of leader, that type of thing to handle that task. So bottom line, again, they just have to step up and play better. They just have to get it done. You know, nobody's going to hand it to them, nobody's going to.

Do it for them.

You just have to put your nose to the grindstone and work and uh, you know, keep working until you get it figured out and and you play better and finish football games.

So Lap, let me let me ask you, speaking of such, what happened there in the fourth quarter, because for for the most of the game, the Bengals were we were talking about it earlier and watching the game and listening to the game yesterday. I mean from almost all the way through the four for the first quarter, I think I'm talking talking to my buddy, and I said, man, this is not a matter of if they're going to win, it's by how much? And uh and what what happened?

I think it's a combination, Eddie. You know, I think I think both things took place. You know, I agree with you. I thought one of the biggest keys are the biggest key to the game. When we were talking in pre game about keys to the game, you know, was getting off to a fast start.

And they did. They played, They were playing well. They had a two.

Score lead, you know, right away early in the football game, and held on to that two score lead for a long period of time. They didn't they didn't turn the football over. I mean, Joe Flacco is he's allergic to turnovers. It's just not happening. He's not he's not throwing interceptions, he's not spitting the bit in terms of fumbling the football.

I mean, he's given the Bengals that chance to win games. He's playing.

Uh, he's playing well enough at the quarterback position to get it done. And that's the most important position really, you know, how the quarterback handles things.

And I think they've got a.

Winner in Joe Flacco, and somebody knows how to He's been around a hell of a long time, and he knows what it takes to win football games at a very high level in terms of, you know, consistency of winning efforts, and everybody else has to follow his lead.

I think, yeah, I mean, is that he said it? Just it felt like a real, just steady game for the Bengals. And even you know, three of the Jets' first four scores in that game were by field goals. I mean even there at the end of the first half, you know, the Jets drive down, but they have to settle for a field goal, you know, as time expired to you know, the Bengals remain up twenty four thirteen. Then you know, in the third quarter, again the Bengals defense,

Yeah, you know, like we talked about earlier, I agree with you. I mean, I thought that the Bengals played well in the beginning of the sea beginning of the of the football game. I thought they they came out and came out with enthusiasm and energy and all the things you need to win a football game. But then defensively, they allow the New York Jets five hundred and two yards Are you kidding?

Man?

Five hundred lush yards to an zero to seven football team at your stadium, at your home. That's like, are you man? That's ridiculous. So you know they get miles to go before they rest. There's there's no question about it. You know, they they're not.

Playing well enough at any phase of it.

There's not consistency offensively, defensively or special teams. And until they, you know, improve in that area, they're gonna suffer, you know, more tough losses. And because the schedule doesn't get easier, you know, they're gonna be playing a lot of recent football teams down the stretch for sure.

Dave Lapham is our guest and LaPier we were talking about the defense and the and the problems there, but it seems like that offensive line is really coming together.

Yeah, I think the offensive line, they're showing signs of improvement. I think they're they're understanding what their their new offensive line coaches is expecting of them from a technique and fundamental standpoint.

You know, I do think that they've They've got They've.

Got some leadership and veteran play at the center position, and Ted Carriss and he's the leader, he's the captain, he's the leader of the of the entire football team. And and then they've got a couple of big monsters at the at the tackle position. I mean, Orlando Brown is a big man six', eight two hundred and twenty hundred and thirty pounds And amarius Mems is you know right there as, well six, seven six, eight three hundred

The guards didn't live very. Good and then the.

Second, quarterboy the tackles really. Dominated and then you, know after halftime to come out and third quarter and, say, yeah what happened to the. Tackles so you know they have to you, know it's like you make a, fist and to make a fist you have to curl uh four fingers and wrapped your thumb and have a strong. Fist and right now they have five components in their offensive line that that you know is not making that strong.

Around all, right let's flip the switch here and talk about your. DAY I i know you a little, Bit, Lap i've known you for a while AND i AND i know you can be a little. EMOTIONAL i was sitting there thinking about you, yesterday AND i mean your emotions had to be just electric from the time you got up until the time you walked out on that.

All right back on The eddie And Rocky, Show rock Out. Today Jason williams from The Inquirer cincinnati Dot com is with me today and. Tomorrow as a matter of, Fact jason and you didn't know. It i'm telling you. That but before we get out of, here let's chat as we always like to do with our good Friend Alex stone FROM.

Abc, Now, alex what are we. Seeing we're seeing kind of a pushback on the use OF ai and. Advertising.

Now, yeah you, know a couple of weeks ago we were talking about how now there was THE ai movie actress who a company said that they were good to go and that she could be in any kind of, role and there was that whole debate of do you want to see that if it looks, real but if you know that IT'S. Ai but now today there are companies that are coming out and saying advertising wise that they're not going to do. It And Gas jeans they started USING ai models and there was backlash to it

It she told, us it's just a distinctive point of, view and that really draws people in because more than, anything what most consumers really wrong is to feel connected and to see and listen to human story.

Experiences and if you know it's sake and you can't connect to. It heineken is coming out now and poking fun at a dating company that PROMOTED ai connections over human ones with a new ad campaign that says the best way to make a friend is over a, beer and they're mocking the WHOLE ai. Thing but there was a lot of anger over what guests, did and companies are trying to figure out where consumers stand on all

Saying this is meant to get supplement and to, add you, know a new avenue of.

Marketing a new avenue of marketing to supplement. It but professors are looking at, this others are looking trying to figure out the place OF ai. Is Marcus, collins a marketing Professor university Of.

Michigan he gets this sort of putting your foot in the water to see how much people tolerate it until it's either rejected altogether or somewhere down the line. Acceptable it's pretty compelling for companies to use the technology because it helps reduce the cost of making, Ads but if the public isn't going to accept, it then making those creative assets aren't helpful at.

All but, guys it really is this world of trying to figure out what consumers want and what consumers will will handle and. Tolerate and if you don't know if it's real or, not do you? Care and does it matter at that? Point because they look so real. Now but some companies are, today Like airy And dove And, heideken they're coming out and saying we will not do, it and they're taking a.

Stand, WELL, alexai those a couple of, questions how do you know it was? Real did guests come out and say or do, hey this is? Fake and are are they required to even say? Right like somewhere in the fine print that these ARE ai generated. Images it makes me, wonder, like you, know where's The is there going to be any kind of government regulation around the use OF ai and truth and advertising and that sort of.

Thing, YEAH i mean there's no rule that they've got to come out as of. Now but it became known that they USED, ai and some companies have made it known to kind, of you, know get their brand out there and to make it so people are talking about. It and, look we're talking about guests because of what they. Did and then there was THAT ai actress that the company is putting forward and taking out the talent agents now to see what they might get her booked in that this is a real.

Thing you.

KNOW ai is no longer where it gives you like eighteen fingers and makes everybody around you look like their faces are melting off like it was a couple of years ago exactly this stuff it looks very real now and sometimes you can't.

Tell i'm looking at these images ON i found A cnn story on the talking about this get or the GUESTS ai generated. MODELS i can't tell the. DIFFERENCE i, mean they looked, airbrush but they'd be airbrushed and it was a real.

Mode they would be they would be. Anyway, yeah and all they had to do was tape into a, computer you, know, blonde tight jeans and, boom there you.

Go.

See, now that's Where i've got to understand that maybe a little truth and advertising thing might come into, play, because of, COURSE i guess if you have the perfect, model the genes are going to look just as good on her as you can possibly conceive of in your mind with AN ai. Model but, still, WELL i don't, know it's also sketched at Me.

Alex.

Yeah but then there's the other side that when it comes to movies and commercials and that sort of thing that people are, like, well why do you? Care you, know they gets your emotion the same way that a human. Would but for, me if you, know it's not really a, human it's not the same. Thing but, YEAH i mean a lot of the ads that you see, now even on LOCAL, tv those ARE ai generated voices and sometimes

Out well in companies, too, RIGHT i, mean way way less, cheap cheaper for them to have AN ai image than it is to hire a, model, RIGHT i, mean, yeah anything to do AN ai. Image, YEAH i mean.

They're paying somebody for the technology and that's know how to do. It but for a voiceover or for an actor to do. IT i mean it's you don't have union, pay you don't have, breaks you don't have you, know, residuals you don't have all of that. Stuff they just type it in and, say you, know man riding a horse in the countryside and, boom they got it and he didn't complain about, anything and you didn't need the weekend.

This all right with, That alex will let you, go, buddy thanks so, much you got.

It, thanks, thanks Thanks.

Alex.

Yeah in other well kind of related, News chase six people were arrested IN La this was a couple of weeks ago after they attempted to raise a banner on the Iconic hollywood. Sign THE lapd said the group trespassed all the way up the Because i've never seen it, live but we've all seen pictures of, it, Right, YEAH i.

DROVE i was trying to find it actually WHEN i was In. La LIKE i, said you, Know, dodgers it's on a. HILLSIDE i don't know how you can get up to. It maybe and get down to.

It but, anyways the way it ties INTO ai and stuff like that is they were going to try to raise a banner advertising.

Cryptocurrency. Now one of the guys of the group said that the group wan would be one of the only to successfully alter The Hollywood, sign and so to do, that they were, gonna, obviously as one, does document it and put it on social media.

Or try to make a documentary or something about. It so they filmed every step from creation to the, banner the creation of the banner to raising it with ropes as a police helicopter circled overhead. THERE i guess maybe they were streaming it live on THE x or something the. HELL i don't, Know so maybe that's WHY i gave them. Away so, hey promotion, achieved.

And maybe that's exactly what they were looking. For they knew they weren't going to get that, well they was the idea to cover the Entire Hollywood sign or just guess put it up over THE h and THE o and the one of the two l's or no. Idea, YEAH i don't know how big because AGAIN i only see in. PICTURES i have no. Idea actually how big it, IS i don't. Either crypto would.

Is?

It and how tall is it looks to be? ABOUT i don't.

Know i've always assumed it was like twelve to fifteen feet top something like. That but, anyways but, anyways it did, work and these crypto.

Guys are now going to serve a little time in the. Jaint and another legal. News, hey at least at least they weren't trying to kill tigers in The. Amazon remember the group that hung the banner ON p AND G oh yeah a few years. Ago yeah around.

Here.

Yeah another news In. ILLINOIS K John jennings Of Fairview, Heights illinois told The Fairview heights police officer who whose car he had rear. Ended the copy is, like, dude what are you? Doing and it goes up to the front of the goes back to the driver's. Side, Yeah and the guy, said, WELL i was bored AND i hate, cops so he just rams into the right into the ass of the cop. Car, okay there was reported that Officer Travis montgomery stopped a different car for an expired

Weed, Gummies yeah you. Think he was charged with criminal damage to, government support of property to, accounts, backery, robbery and one of aggravated.

Assalts the cop and the occupants of the other car were, unhurt but the. Kids let that be a lesson to. You don't get all liquored up and a bunch of gummies and start picking a fight with a cop because you're. Bored, yeah you, may you. May that was an easy one for. Him that hardly ever works out for. You i'm gonna go.

Out it doesn't work out for a legal. Expert but that's my, hard my hard.

Guess. Uh with, that we check in with traffic and. Weather what is going on
