All right back with Eddie and Rocky.
And rock I saw a thing yesterday and you and I were talking about.
Yeah, it was.
Good and it was in I think it was eight he things. It was a national thing. It was just lot coal.
This is all over the place talking about Holy youth sports has become so expensive that a lot of people can't afford it.
Correct.
And here's the stat Aspen Institute of a Sports and Society program whatever that is, and this is in partnership with Utah State and Louisiana TACH so a pretty big study. Family spending on youth sports jumped forty six percent from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty four.
That's crazy.
Survey found reaching an estimated forty billion dollars a year. So forty billion dollars of Americans money spent last year was on youth sports. Another stat Aspen Institute also found families spent an average of one thousand and sixteen dollars a year for one child's primary sport.
And I would say that's probably accurate.
Now, see, we can speak to this because especially you're you're older kid, but now you're a younger kid, or your middle kid is graduating into it, and I'm sure you have plans for the for your younger child to get on into it as well. So you're gonna be having three boys playing youth sports in that kind of environment. You're gonna be one thousands deep in this thing.
Right Well, there is and then there's the travel, and then there's you know, the time commitment and all that.
And and I do I see both sides of it.
On one hand, I say it's ridiculous and and you know, when they're seven, is this determined whether they're gonna get in the NFL?
No?
But but I also see the other side is that And I'm telling you this right now, And if you have a son or daughter that's in you know, youth in middle school and high school sports, I think you will agree with me. These kids these days, ed are so well trained. Okay, these kids, these kids now are very very skilled. So if you if you want your kid to like be on like a good team, okay, and be able to compete.
And you know, and and and.
Contribute, you gotta be doing the speed training and the weight training and the you know, all all these sort of extra things that go in. And that's just not even the sport that's getting ready for the sport right.
Now, as far as that stuff goes you you mentioned travel. Now, one of the things cited in here is a lady talking about out of out of town tournaments, blah blah blah, talking about going to UH to bitch and forge for a tournament that for actually it was a team training thing. Three practices for a week in UH. Three practices a day for a week in UH in Florida. Three grand.
Uh.
She also took her kids to play baseball at a tournament in Cooper's Down. She just says she's spent at least eight grand last year for a twelve year old. Now, how that's not going to be sustainable for a lot of people. I get what you're saying, Yeah, but man, it's got to be pretty important to you and your kid has to be a bit of a savant.
Let's put it down.
It does, and I think you've got to recognize, you know, some all the work in the world isn't you know some kids are.
It's not gonna help them make it right.
It's not gonna help I always tell people parents, in my opinion, you find out what you're early on. Find out what your kid is good at. Now, whether that's what you want him to be good at, or whether he's what he's actually good at, those are often two different things. But find out what he's good at, and then we're okay, we're gonna focus on this. And if he has a natural innate talent or she has a
natural innate talent. I think it's on one hand, it's like what else you gonna, you know, spend your money on, you know, like, you know, invest in your kids.
I think it's a very noble thing to do. I will say this too.
Like I understand why parents begrudgingly go this route. It's because I have found and I think other parents would agree like that, there's a big chasm between like rec sports and select sports, and parents are oftentimes willing to pay for the more select sports because when you're paying money, you got people that are a little more dialed in, are a little more serious things, are a little more organized.
I've experienced in some just rec leagues and during the course of my kids, you know, time plan and it's often's it's a disaster. There's no communication, there's no there's no nothing, and then you get there, there's no instruction there's no anything. So you're like, well, this is isn't costing me anything except it's cost me a tremendous waste of time. So I'd rather spend some money for them
to be in something that they're gonna get something out of. Okay, then then to do this, you know, rec sort of situation that is isn't helping them get better at anything. It's wasting their time, it's wasting my time, and it's a it's a penny ass.
So let me ask you this. Do you think that now with nil money coming into college of course and maybe and well now recently high school, that that plays importing. Hey, if your kids showing any kind of initability in football, baseball, whatever the case might be, you might basically you're investing in the future if you think that child can advance and get into a high school, get paid.
Ten thousand dollars or whatever it might.
Be college, like the kids that just left Cincinnati making five mil to go and play what is it Texas Tech?
Yeah, no one, because I mean it was that to a degree when I was younger, because it was like, God, if I can get my kid to get a scholarship, I don't have to pay college.
How great is that?
Well, now you're getting a scholarship and there is the possibility, very small, but a possibility that your kid could get some actual nil money from this. So you think that, Yeah, money motivates everybody. I don't care who you are. And if you're saying, well, god, they're kind of giving this out. Man, my kid's pretty good. Do I want to look back and say, hmm, maybe he could have got some of this, or she could have got some of this or experienced
this if we had worked a little bit harder. And I think parents are going to err on the side of doing whatever they can and also too, I'll tell you this, like social media plays a big part of this as well, because I mean you can't go on your Instagram or Twitter or whatever and without being just bombarded with videos of some kid who's out there doing running back training and you're like, gosh, this kid's doing running back train. I guess my kid. So it's just
compounding on itself. The good thing is it's again, it's making kids very good. I mean, kids that are twelve years old now are much better than kids that were years old twenty forty five years ago. Right again, because they're they're trained, they're skilled, they're they're doing these things at an early age, which is a good thing because the end of the day, that's what it's all about, is getting better. Are you getting better or you would
becoming a better player. That's you can't control exactly if you're going to be better than this guy or that guy. But if you're getting better, that that's it perfectly within your control. And parents again, are willing to pay for that. Now, you had brought this up before that. I just brought up the nil and college and high school now, and
but you had talked about the possibility. You see a future in the near future where kids to come into youth sports and think and and the parents present to you, Hey, you want my kid to play. He's not going to spend whatever, a thousand dollars for that trip to Orlando.
You will pay for the trip, and somebody's got to give him another twenty five hundred.
So that's the thing I think people, and certainly I am generous when it comes to, you know, helping a kid out, especially kid from a background where maybe they can't afford that They okay, and that's fine.
I'm willing to do that.
But the day and it'll happen, I guarantee you the day it'll come when somebody says, I good boy, would love to have so and so Johnny on my team, and the parent goes, well, we would love for him for you to coach him, but it's gonna cost a thousand bucks a month. And that's the day I can tell everyone listens to me, I won't nope, see, I won't do that.
Because you won't do that because your teams, these teams aren't sponsored in any way, shape or form.
Well like like right now, I you know, we're with a Black Sheep Performance which is you know, training facility, and they're you know, they're like, you know, the umbrella over our seven on seven team, and we've got a great team, right and again top athletes, top kids, top coaching.
It's it's it's a machine. Right But yeah, I I wouldn't you know.
And there's you know ways that we can you know, and I think you know, there's fundraising and things you do to try That's what I was one less when we do all that right to try to lessen the cost of of what it's going to be on people, because it is tough and you do the best he can to help people out. But yeah, I would it's crazy. I mean, the same article talks about you know, you
sports activities. You know, the average was one thoy and sixteen, but some are some are talking about more than three thousand to five thousand.
I believe it. I know people that have a daughter that play.
You know, like a competitive like you know, club volleyball, and it's twenty five hundred bucks and one that's she's a very very talented, good, uh like middle school soon to be high school basketball player that plays on a team of that's regional, right, and that's a it's a lot of money. Soccer's got to be getting that way too. I would think, Yeah, I think, you know, I think
all of it is. I think all of it is. Yeah, it's And again I think it's to some degree, you're you're getting when you know, when you're paying for something, you can complain, right if it's if it's wreck ball and it's fifty bucks to sign up and it's you know, it's kind of disorganized, you know, like you can't complain. But if you're if you can say, wait a minute, here, I'm paying paying five hundred bucks for this, and you know there's we're not practicing. Who's not getting good coaching?
We're not you know, it's not organized. I don't know when the practices are. No one's communicating. You can you can complain. I think parents honestly are paying for that right to be able to say I would, it's worth the money to me to be able to make sure it's it's run at a level that is is is what I want and what it's easier to deal with.
Let me ask you this, as a coach of one of these teams and as well, like you said, you're involved in basically running this seven on seven league, are you finding that people who are investing this kind of money have are a little more so always say opinionated about Johnny getting more playing time and this and that and the other.
I'm just curious. I think it's a great question. I think yes, because you know, then there's the parents as well. We're paying for this and how come you know? But that's when you got to set the standard right away, is you know you're paying for the opportunity to get better,
advanced and become a better player. That's you're not paying for any sort of guarantee and in playing time, and you got to set that that you know, that expectation has got to be put out there immediately or else you're being a world hurt.
Let's get kenon. Try to squeeze Cannon right quick. Hey can't you're a coach. Nope, let me see if I got there's Ken. I'm sorry about that.
Ken?
How are you? I'm fine?
How are you?
Guys?
I coached high school for a while and I came from the rec side, not the select side, and I understand where everybody comes from on it, but the percentage that are great players and deserve the Buckeye Premium Elite status that their team is just such small status, and then the other ones just get roped into overpaying to be on a select team that isn't any better than a w rec team.
No, I agree with you.
Yeah, and I do believe that sort of like you said, Rock, if you start training them now and not necessarily training them to be muscle guys, but if you teach them how to work out when they get to be our age, they'll still have the fundamentals that want to do it. If you don't teach them to work out, they get to our age and they don't want to and or you know, it's boring to them. If you get them young and they kind of.
Get a passion for it, that passion stays with them.
A little longer to be healthy, to run more, or bike or maybe even still play you know, old socks.
Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, No, I think you hit the nail on the head. And that's the reason why I do it. Yeah, because you're hopefully building, you know, putting the building blocks in place that that is going to create habits for these kids as they get older.
Absolutely, Hey, Mike, what's going on with you, buddy? Thanks for calling right quick, let's get you.
Yeah, hey, I heard you talking about this. I got a grandson. He just made a national seven on seven team.
He's in high school.
He's a he's a really good athlete. In the next by the end of March are making like five or six strips far away as Irvine, California.
But he's really good.
He's talented. The thing I would say is just make sure the kid is going.
To be dedicated to it, and he is.
He he sacrifices a lot of things that other kids would be doing to be dedicated to the sport. I know a lot of people now if few invested a lot of money in kids and the kid got to college and said, oh I'm done with it, I quit, you know, So to me, just make sure the kid is going to be dedic to it before you spend all that kind of money. I mean, yeah, you know, trip's Curvine, California and all over the country and in
a two month span. Takes a lot of dedication just to make sure the kid is going to be dedicated to it.
Do you agree?
I agree? And who's he play for? Uhio players?
I forget the name.
H yeah local Yeah.
Okay, yeah, I know they're for eighteen UU s.
Blackshit.
We haven't moved into eighteen U yet. But no, he makes a great point. It's foolish to to spend the money if your kid's not going to be going to match you know, your sacrifice. And then and again, these are all things you gotta you gotta just weigh out as a parent. Maybe there's something else that he wants to get into that will be It's a Again, I always say, you got to find what they're good at and then really really, you know, push them in it.
And but also with the expectation that they're they want it as well, and if it can't be what you want, it can be asked to be what they're good at and they're passionate about.
All right.

He's got it. He's still got it like anybody else.
I'm sure he was sweating like nine pigs are.
Yeah, and there's like there's a person that's like holding the microphone by him. He's got this like cup of like you know, Coca cola, like right there, and he's just on the piano, just going to town. But the vocal range in everything, it's like what he looks like. If you close your eyes and opened to me, you wouldn't you wouldn't think that the guy singing like that looks like that. You'd think it was maybe him in the glory days, right in the early fifties, right, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
No, I saw It's great, look it up. It has nothing to do with that. But a fun fact I read about Elvis and what I complete the kernel was have you ever seen the original version of True Grit with John Wayne? John Wayne and Glenn Campbell. Do you got kind of familiar with the story.
Yeah, yeah, I don't know if you saw the last version with the Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogber. Yes, So the Matt Damon part was Glenn Campbell in the original, the singer Glenn Campbell. And that's I just read this story the other day. The reason Glenn Campbell was in it. They tried to get Elvis. Elvis wanted to be in it. The colonel wouldn't let him. He wanted too much money.
Gosh, so the producers of the movies that would screw you, We can get Glenn can.
Call exactly for much much less.
God.
The colonel is there a more like just hateable figure in modern pop history.
No, he wouldn't. He wouldn't let the reason Elvis and every toured in Europe. He would have made trillions of dollars in Europe, but the colonel wouldn't let him go over there because he had kind of means against him, shall we say? And he was he was like Dutch, I think, yes, and yeah, so he was. He didn't want to travel Europe.
So internationally he was afraid he was gonna get arrested or something. So he wouldn't just know, but but he wouldn't let Elvis out of his sight big time.
And what was there?
Wasn't Elvis powerful enough to say screw you or get like the best lawyer of the day and say this ain't working no more?
What was the What kept that? I think carrible relationship together.
I think he unwisely well, Elvis surrounded himself with a lot of weird people. Yeah, I don't think he had the best always say business sense right.
Well, and a lot of them don't like they're they're artists and they're unbelievable. But being an artist and being a business person of to you know, monopolize that are often two different things.
That's what I've always heard about The Stones is that Mick Jagger is brilliant with money, and that's the reason they've been around so long. He can he helps run the books man, he runs Rolling Stones, Inc.
Basically all right, Well, if.
The Doors was ray Manzeric, he was always the business side and Jim was the nut side. Desmore was just the like, I just want to play music kind of guy. So yeah, let's get Brett and Mason. Hey, Brett, what do you got this far as you got some Elvis stuff or what do you have?
Well, actually, a buddy of mine from high school, his uncle do you remember Golden Rod Music?
Sure?
Ready, yep up and Dayton yeah, yeah, So he was one of the owners of that. But before that, he was a wholesaler out in Los Angeles, so he would get like one of the stories he told me, he's like, yeah, you know, I went out and was looking at some records and there was this guy. I thought he gave him a chance, and his name was Elton John, and I thought I'd buy a thousand records, you know what I mean that kind of stuff.
So yeah, so.
He has this little he had the storage unit whole of like memorabilia, so like like when the when the Zeppelin album came out and and uh, you know that they had the Zeppelin as the you know, the marketing stuff he's got that. He's got so much original marketing material from albums and he's got out He's got so much stuff, and I'm like, dude, you that should retire sell that auption, you know, But I mean some of the stuff he told me, he has this incredible and
one of the things was his girlfriend back then. I guess her girlfriend when to go out on a double date. He's like, all right, whatever, man, I guess you know, and whatnot? And uh he said they got together and they their girlfriend's boyfriend was Jim Morrison.
Wow.
Yeah, he went on a double date with Jim Morrison. Man, way back, like I think before Morrison was even hitting a big But yeah, the stuff he must have in that storage in it, I just got I want to get in there.

We was talking about his first.
Eleven years old, his birthday in nineteen forty six. His mother Gladys took him down to the hardware store. He wanted a bike or like our baby gun, and she bought him a tar instead.
In the rest is history, And so we got a couple of Elvis calls. Hey, George, thanks for calling.
What he got on? You got a story on Elvis?
What?
Yeah, just a little.
Short story if you can hear me. Okay, I was getting a camera repaired at a camera shop just across Fine straight across from the east entrance to Caura Tower. This is about fifteen twenty years ago. And the elevator in that particular building was operated by still operating the elevator if he was not self operating. But the woman in there, a little short kind of choby woman had the whole elevator decorated with Elvis paraphernalia. It was a memorial.
There were signs and posters and songs and everything in there, and she just talked about Elvis all the way up and when I came out, all the way down. So I just want to know if anybody else out there had never seen that memorial and it's probably gone now.
That's all I got, Thank George, I've not seen it.
I didn't cross that path a Judy in Fairfield. What you got on Elvis?
Hi?
I love your show, by the way, I had nineteen seventy two, my sister and I went to Hawaii and they met these two sisters from Cleveland. Well, when we got back, they found out that Karen, my sister was was just a big fan of Elvis, and they got us tickets. So we got to go to his concert and it was fantastic.
He had looked great.
He threw his scarf out in the crowd, and it's just of fun memory to have, was.
That here in town, no Cleveland, from.
Cleveland, right, and I got his tickets and I go, yeah.
Did you get this car?
You know, they might have just like air dove out of the balcony and grab.
But seventy two, Judy, that's that's when Elvis was still looking good and great shape and all that.
That's for sure.
We looked wonderful and we had he was so personable to the crowd and everything.
So yeah, it was a lot of fun. All right, thanks, Judy.
Good for you.
I know somebody who had tickets to see because he was supposed to be coming to town before he died or after her. The show was after he died, but he was coming here. Oh wow, a Warren and Dayton. What do you got on Elvis?
There, Warren, besides the heck of a singer for a lot of talent, he was also a tremendous stancer, particularly when he paired up with fan Margaret.
Yeah.
You could say a lot about Ann Margaret and how hot she was and everything else, but he was really a tremendous dancer with her. And you can still see some of those on YouTube and Margaret. Yeah, Elvis and on dance for musicals and that he was a hell of a dancer too.
Elvis the Pelvis baby he hadn't moves the reason.
Yeah, thanks thanks there, Warren. Yeah, I.
Matter of fact, I just ran a h ran into a clip the other day of it was from Elvis movie. I think that. But and Margaret dancing like a crazy person. I'm watching it right now, watching Ann Margaret. Elvis hasn't come in yet. But let me tell you something, young Ed Fingers would have traded my then swin.

The Vice President speaks out on the ICE shooting, places the blame. This is the four o'clock report. I'm Matt Reese breaking now. Vice President JD. Van's in the White House press room this afternoon. He says the woman shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis yesterday tried to ran the agent with her car, and he describes her as
influenced by a radical left wing network. The Vice President says the ICE agent who shot her had been seriously wounded in a previous incident and had received thirty six stitches.
Even watched the video yourself, there's not the slightest doubt in your mind having viewed it, that this the victim. You still believe that she deliberately tried to round him despite seeing this video.
Look, I don't know what it's in a person's heart or in a person's head. And obviously we're not going to get the chance to ask this woman what was going on.
What I am certain of is that she violated the law.
What I'm certain of is that that officer had every reason to think that he was under very serious threat for injury or in fact his life.
The Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noms says, the woman who was shot, Rede Good, refused orders to get out of the car and tried to harm the officer with it.
ABC's Mary Bruce.
Additionally, you know, after an incident like this, you would have the administration, you know, come out and urge patients and caution and ask everyone to sort of wait for the conclusions of that investigation. That is not what we have seen from officials, from the Vice President, the President, from from Christine Home, from on down. You have heard them come out and very quickly defend the officer and
insists that he was acting in self defense. Again, we don't know, because we are waiting for the conclusions of this investigation.

This report is sponsored by Chumbucasino dot com.
Hey's Ryan Seacrest here and if you're looking for some serious fun, head over to Chumbuck Casino dot All. Right, beg with Eddie and Rocky and rock we're gonna say New year, same show here on Thursday, round about this time.
We talked to this fellow right here.
Yes, so make sure you're following on the all the social channels at PJ Street and PJ. It's the new year. Hope springs eternal for a lot of people. Gym memberships are up, gym's are more crowded right now. But how always start off the new year PJ and talk about Look, no bs, how do we get in the best shape of our lives? No matter how old we are, what gender we are, whatever, How do we get in the best shape of our life in twenty twenty six.
Well, I'm here to give you the cliff Folds version of that. But before I do, two quick things. Everything we're going to discuss today you can find on my ex account at PJ Street. It's the very first tweet. I created a little graphic for all the listeners with all the specifics of what we're going to discuss today, so they can just kind of save it to their phone. And number two, what I'm going to lay out here, it's what to do, what to do, but you also have to know how to do it, which most people
will not. And that's where you know, hiring a guy like me, for instance, you know it might be a good idea, and you also have to ask yourself, will I do all of this?
It's left to my own devices?
And again the majority of people are not going to do that without some accountability. So with that said, let's let's get into it. These are the six big rocks of getting in the best shape of your life, and the biggest of those rocks. Number one is calories. Okay, calories control foutl period. In order to lose weight, lose fat, look better, naked, all that good stuff, you have to induce a calorie deficit, meaning you have to expend more calories and you consume and guys, I'm asking all the time.
How many calories should I be eating?
Well, I would suggest for the vast majority of people, start at nine to ten calories per pound of your current body weight. So, for example, if you're a two hundred pound guy and you want to drop a lot of fat in twenty twenty six, your calorie budget should be somewhere between eighteen hundred and two thousand per day, okay, And more importantly, you want to accurately quantify and track those calories.
Okay, honestly and accurately and.
Real quick on that one.
PJ.
And I know you.
Deal with this, and that's the number one thing people don't want to do is track. But you've always told us, right, there's all these apps out there that make it very very easy.
Correct. What are a couple of those just for folks.
Yeah, it's a great point, Rocky, because if you're guessing at your calories, that's why you're probably staying stuck and are going to stay stuck. If you're not tracking and quantifying, you're really just hoping, and hope is not a strategy. So to your point, rock you want to invest in a digital food scale. You can get one off Amazon for like, you know, ten bucks, and that's number one and then number two. There's a ton of these, like you pointed out, a good nutrition tracking app, I like
my fitness Pal, some other people like Chronometer. There's a bunch of them out there. Just pick one that you think you'll use, download it, get the premium version. So a digital food scale and a good nutrition tracking app is going to help.
You a long way.
You know, it's going to go a long way with helping you track your calories accurately.
Nice.
Nice, I will tell you this every once in a while, tell them, rock Probably over the holidays.
Here I put on you know, seven pounds. You're a great, big fat ash.
Yeah, I am a big giant fat whatever, but he's a bull up. In my opinion, I need a little less fat, little more muzzle. But one thing I've always noticed and tried to stick to is if you go to a restaurant that has I don't care if it's red lobster or something like that, whatever, a lot of restaurants have the calorie count on them, and I'm tempted. I'm always tempted to get the twenty five hundred calorie plate, but you know, hey, look the eight hundred calorie plate tastes just as good.
Yeah.
And to your point, Eddie, I mean all chain restaurants are required to post the calorie information now real quick on that they get twenty percent leeway. So I'll always tell my clients if you go to a chain restaurant, and like Eddie, what you said, if you pick something that's like a thousand calories, I always tell people round it up to probably, you know, eleven and twelve hundred, just to be safe. Right, Yeah, calories are here, guys. That's like the number one thing here if you want
to get in great shape. Number two protein, Okay, that's a non negotiable. And if you're a woman listening shoot for one hundred grams of protein per day. If you're a guy, you're looking for one hundred and fifty grams plus a day. And why does this matter to real simple? It preserves your muscle, it's going to help you control your hunger, and it's going to make dieting a lot more sustainable.
If you're low you.
Know, low protein will turn every diet into a grind. So you're going to have a really hard time stayed satiated and keeping hunger tolerable.
If your protein's not up to snuff.
Great, And by the way, that's about the best way I've heard you simplify it. If you're not eating enough protein, your diet will be a grind. And you're right because yes, because you'll be able to eat so many fewer things because the carbohydrate and the fat things are more caloric dense.
Right correct spot on Rocky spot on Now we got calories, we got protein right now.
Number three is crucial.
It's consistency with both of those two things. So you need to do the first two things I just talked about, the calorie budget and the protein threshold. You got to do that at least twenty six days per month that's eighty percent consistency. So we're not talking about having to be perfect. It's just repetition because guys, and this is where a lot of people fall this.
Time of year, right that they're motivated.
One perfect week means nothing, but repeating above average weeks will change everything for you. So get the perfection mindset, you know, get out the window and just focus on consistency.
Twenty six days.
Per month with calories and protein. All right, good, twenty six days a month.
That's it. That's it. Now, let's move to.
The energy out side of the equation, the exercise and movement, all that stuff. Number four on my list, you're going to strength train. It's mandatory, Okay. You need to be lifting weights at least twice a week, upwards of five times per week.
And you've got to do that with structure. Guys.
It can't be these random workouts or just you know, pitdling around the gym, going to you know, random machines and just kind of flailing around. You need to be on an actual program, okay, an actual, structured, organized program. And why does strength training matter? As I've talked about many times on the show, Muscle Equals metabolism. Strength is aging, insurance and strength training is how bodies actually change shape. All right, So if you want to look better, it's
not just way less. Okay, you also got to hit. You got to hit the weight. You got to resistance train. Following that up, cardio all right, talked about it before, Sixty to one hundred and twenty minutes of Zone two cardio per week, part rate one ten to one thirty beats per minute. I don't care what equipment you use. You can use a treadmill, you can use an elliptical or bike, a roll or whatever you want to do.
Get it in.
You know, an hour to two hours per week for heart health, recovery and longevity. And guys, finally, step count all right, step counts are the glue to all of this. You want to aim, as we've talked about many times before, seventy thousand steps per week.
Why is that important.
It's going to keep your calorie burned pretty predictable, it's going to help you control your appetite, and it's gonna it's gonna prevent that well, I work out, but I sit all day trapped. So the steps are the are the final part of this whole. Uh, this whole get in the best shape of your life equation.
Now let me I know you've talked about it before, a PJ. We're talking to PJ. Street, and well you're talking about the uh you know, as much protein as you can YadA YadA. Now, when I think of protein, I think, of course, of like chicken breast or steak, whatever. I mean, what are what are the sources good sources of protein that people can can get into. I know you've mentioned cottage teas before and I was surprised by that.
Yeah. So yeah, just like you said, Eddie, I mean lean meat, you know, lean meat.
Fish and poultry, white fish, lean ground beef, sirloin, steak, chicken breast, you know, poor tenderloin. The list can go on and on and on, and you know, alternative sources.
We're looking at low fat.
Daery like Greek yogurt, like cottage cheese, things of that nature. And if you visit my Instagram page, I got all types of stuff on protein and protein sources, so you know that would be a good resource for you.
The Greek yogurt thing I swear by because I don't know why anybody would eat just regular or yogurt with all the additives, and because Greek yogurt I think tastes good and it's tremendously high in protein, and you know, and it's I wouldn't say it's it's not cheap, but it's not expensive, right like you know, so it's it's somewhere. I think it kind of hits right in that wheelhouse.
Yeah, rocky, if you're really look at it on like a cost basis, it's actually you get pretty good return on investment for the protein per dollar with Greek yogurt. And and you know, one of my favorite little hacks. If you know, a lot of people say, man, that's just a lot of protein. One hundred grams is a lot or one hundred and fifty grams a lot. Let me
let me help me solve that real quick. Take your favorite vanilla protein powder, doesn't matter what brand it is, you know, take a scoop, put some of the bowl, and then get a container at Greek yogurt, dump it on top of that in the bowl, and just mix it up.
With a spoon.
You're going to get like sixty to seventy grams of protein right there, more than likely. So that's just a you can put some some cereal on top of it and make a sludge. That's kind of the I have a hard time getting my protein in hack.
All right, well then, PJ always good knowledge. People want to find out more. Where can they go?
Yep?
If you need help executing this plan, my online coaching is designed for adults who are tired of guessing the one structure, accountability and certainly results the last all under four hours a day where you buy Fitness Systems dot com.
All right, buddy, thanks so much.
All right, Happy New Year, Thanks guys, and good stuff.
So whenever I think about you before, before or after a workout, I sit there thinking of you with like a half a chicken just just eating it, you know, just no fork, nothing, no like Henry the get their son.
Do you do the Greek yogurt? You know what?
It's funny you should mentioned that because Dev just bought some the other day. I'm like, I think I'm sure I've had it along the line, I was like, this is actually pretty good. So here's what you do.
Buy the plane, okay, buy some blueberries and get some natural honey.
Put it in there as good as it gets, healthy, tasteful.
Great, Hey, I'm in you get one of those, you get one of those big tubs, right, Yeah, I get.

State investigators being left out of an investigation into a fatal ICE officer involves shooting. With the four point thirty report, I'm Sean Gaalbacker breaking now in Minneapolis and other parts
of the country. Protests taking place after an ICE agent shot and killed a US citizen Wednesday, There are rising tensions that there are rising tensions after Homeland Security Secretary Christinome was quick to call thirty seven year old Minneapolis resident Rene Good a domestic terrorist, claiming the agent killed her in self defense as Good tried to run him over with her vehicle, and the Trump administration now claiming without evidence that she was part of what Vice President
ja d Vance this afternoon called a left wing conspiracy, but those claims have been contradicted by witness accounts and multiple videos that show the moment the ICE agan fired those shots, one of which went through Good's windshield, striking her in the head. Video shows Good trying to pull out and leave the scene as an ICE agent initially tells her to get out of the car and then tries to open the door and pull her out. Local officials argue that Good was observing ICE activity and was
not a target. John Sandwig is the former acting ICE director during the Obama administration, and told ABC News that an investigation has only begun, but DHS was too quick to judge Goods actions.
When the Secretary runs down and says, this is so definitively a clear cut case of attempted murder by a domestic TERRORICE, it just undercuts the credibility of the department, undercuts the credibility of ICE, and it just further politicizes a law enforcement agency.
In Minnesota, Governor Tim Wall said that the nonpartisan, independent investigative body in his state, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, has now been barred from investigating the shooting, and he fears it will not be a fair investigation.

Hi Heard Radio.
My advisor at Plant Moran Wealth Management knows my definition of wealthy.
Daddy and Rocky all right, ed, So you've I've talked about him those.
The tradition of making.
The first round pick rookie take the position group out to eat sure dinners. What just happened with Nicky man War. He's a safety for the Seahawks first round pick. But again, this has been going on forever, certainly since I played. Even before left him with a bill. I didn't say where it was from, but they tried to play a joke on him and say that the bill was one hundred and fourteen grand, but I guess it didn't work out.
But the final tab was revealed and the bill was twenty two thousand five hundred and twenty four dollars on dinner. I would I'd be like, no, I don't care what you say. I'm not paying that.
That's insane, man.
Yeah, I told you I was with when I was with the Titans, made a pac Man take us out and it was about ten.
Way.
How big is that is that booze? Is that buying a lot of its booze? And yeah, bottles you know, two hundred dollars bottles of wine and that kind of thing.
Oh, and then I mean there's guys that took uh took uh what they called gift packages home where they take a bottle of oh, you know rose uh Rose Crystal home the tune of eight hundred bucks.
So yeah, it was it was get.
The uh you get the biggest stick on the on the menu, and one to go.
Yeah.
But but it was like all the whole like instead of just the dbs, it was like the whole defense. And then I think a couple offensive line and came to just because and well he was such a early on, he was such a you know, it wasn't doing the right way. Okay, So people that naturally just goes to you, okay. Really is how you're gonna act as a rookie. Yeah, OK, gotcha, got you? So they hit him up good.
Let's uh, let's start to Pete here in Lebanon. Hey Pete, you had something like this happened to you or you did it to somebody.
So here's the story. Expense account. A bunch of guys got together as a group of people that were working in America, North America, and we don't get together much, right, And they were gonna change the rules as far as how much you could spend on entertainment. So there was like, I think there was twelve of us and we were all at a.
Company function and we told the.
Waitress to make sure that they kept everything on one receipt. This girl was normally like five foot three. This thing with like six foot long, and they were gonna change how much money we could spend on entertainment and dinner and eat and whatnot. I have no idea what the hell bill was it was, I mean withoulcohol included, right, So you know, Dan, well, like a crazy they busted.
Us out there.
We have a picture they posted it. This is what not to do on your expenses.
Have a waitress she was like five real fatigue girl.
And she's holding it up with her arm, and it was all it of mine.
She was mad.
She wasn't matter.
The manager was mad at they used so.
Much paper, so the bill was longer than her height. That's some serious.
We wanted it.
It was the last time we all got together.
So, I mean, they knew that we.
Were troublemakers, all right, that's their fault for giving you the green light.
Man this well, not that I would do something like this, but perhaps I did. This happened years back in the EBN days. Remember the old Waterfront restaurant.
Of course you know there a few timesle time. It's not many in case you don't. If you don't remember that place, it was a Jeff Ruby steakhouse.
But it was right on the river.
And so I forget why we had this EBN staff party there. Maybe we did good in the ratings or something some of that ilk. So we go in there and we're all having big times and you know, acting like children in an adult situation. And so and the general manager made is very clear to us, whatever you all want, dug yourself out. So I go up to the It was after dinner, and I go up to the bar to get whatever. I'm just going to see
what they had. And you know, you're going to those fancy restaurants and you see that bottle of Louis the thirteenth or whatever the hell it is, that kangnac and the crystal case, and this again, this is twenty five years ago. So I said, I've always wanted to try that. And so I said, you know, I'm with the EBN group. How much is a shot of that that kgnac up there? And she was like one hundred dollars.
That's always what it was. And I said, I give me one of those.
So about that time, whoever, Bob the producer or somebody or one of the other cooks walks up and goes, what are you drinking.
One that I got?
Right?
Well, you can see how this went another whatever the man was.
Hey, figures are over drinking that hundred dollars cognact And all of a sudden, like fifteen of us standing around sipping on that stuff. And the general manager thought was funny, like, but that's what we're here for, you guys, kids have fun. I thought it was funny. God, these are the good old days, right, I hear they're going to do that with us here sometimes soon I'm still waiting. Yeah, let's say talk to Tim. Hey, Tim, what's going on in Liberty Township?
Yeah?
I heard he was talking about like expense accounts and paying for other people. My father used to work for one of the big three in the auto industry, and he'd have to go up to Detroit quite often. He was from down here in Cincinnati, and so part of his job from time to time was to.
Entertain people.
So one day his boss called him into the office and he said, look, we need to talk to you about your expense account. And he was trying to figure out He's like, well, wait a minute, I don't hardly spend anything. And the guy goes, you know, the problem is you're not spending enough money. The other guys are going to strip clubs and they're taking guys out drinking and they're running up these huge bills. You need to spend more money so.
They don't look bad.
I've heard of that happening.
So that's that's that's the truth.
Because I knew his boss too, is a good guy. That's all I got.
That's cool. Thank you love to dive in on that. So it was like look like I want you to really bump it up there.
Well, I'm surprised the other guys didn't say something to him. I was like, Bro, you're out here ordering cokes on a champagne, you know.

All yeah, that's a real surgery. You get you can add like like three four inches onto your frame. Goofy's tremendously painful.
From whatever.
That's always what I've heard. I mean, look, I'm a short guy. It does not bother me that much.
Yeah, except the tall chicks in high school just and everybody was taller me, and I mean girls were taller than me, every girl.
Then high school. I was like five five two. I'm like, all right, what's going on there? Lollipop?
Okay for you? Everybody told me during the breaks, well a lot of that's maybe lies.
Another news rock, uh from our from our police blodder.
This happened in Delaware. The police there received a call from Cayone Baxter, twenty one, who wanted to retrieve some items from a Hyundai Sonata that they had towed. Okay, once they uh, Once he came down to the lot to retrieve his uh, his items, he was arrested in charge with stealing the car the day before. So this dude steals the car and I guess didn't, and they
found it on the same street. They he lived on the same street that he just stolen the car from, So I guess maybe he forgot some of the stuff that he wanted to steal from it. So it was like, you know, I got a I got quite a scam going here.
Oh man, I feel like that should be something you would remember though.
Well, it's like people read about these drug dealers who called the They call the cops and say, hey, uh, are you done with that cocaine that you took from that one guy?
Can I have it back?
Or something like?
My favorite was, Hey, I was dealing with this guy drugs and he shorted me two hundred bucks, Right, that's my favorite one.
Well you hear.
Look, obviously you don't have to be an Einstein, you know, and uh I and I found this story rock in honor of Elvis's birthday, because if you, uh, if you're no anything, you don't have to do much about Elvis to know he really valued his valular health.
Yes, it's that's where they found him.
You know.
This happened at a Public's grocery store in Miami. If you're not familiar with Publics, it's it's the Kroger of Florida. They're they're big public everywhere good they had those up well now they're here now ye around here, and believe it or not, at in South Bend they had a Publix good food there too. Yeah that's chicken second or none.
So the guy was using the restroom stall when he was when he was assaulted after Alfredo Brenda's seventy two entered the restroom frantically and began to bang on the stall door.
Haven't we all been there before? Right when you gotta go, you gotta go.
So the guy's going, hey, I'm trying to take your business in here, guy, And so he kept banging on it, banging on the guy.
It was finally finished up and comes out. The guy goes, there's Brandi's dude, the seventy two year old guy. And he goes on, when did calm down, old man. So the seventy two year old guy pulls out a knife. It's like, I will cut got sa go, I will cut you son. And so the guy had a book bag with him or something or briefcase or whatever. He had some kind of a bag. So he shielded himself as this guy is trying to stab him shot. So it's all taking place in the bathroom.
Yeah, what if you're in there just like taking a leak, You're like, God, I'm right, I know I'd be like escalated quickly later, guys, Yeah right.
Bred has told police later on during the interview that quote he really needed to use the restroom apparently.
Yeah, he was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Now, how would you like to be in prison for assault with a deadly weapon?
And like to what'd you do?
I killed a whole I robbed a bang and I shot the security guard and I had this ran over an old lady as I was leaving my getaway car, and what do you what are you went for?
Well?
I tried to stab a guy because he wouldn't let me and installed the poopy.
Yeah, I really had to go and I was gonna kill him. You're going to go down to hard in prison. Man, I'm sorry. It ain't gonna work out well for you, not at all. I don't know what made me think of this public bathrooms. Have you ever been to a BUCkies yet?
No?
I've always heard that these bathrooms you're gonna eat off the floor.
That's that's like their calling card, right, is that you know, as much traffic and everything they have is that the bathrooms are clean, which they always say that's the sign of if you want to know how well run something is a restaurant, whatever, look at the bathroom.
Well, and I tell you there. For a while, when my son was living in Chicago, Deb and I were up and back there a lot of times driving and it's amazing some well, and we all know that if anybody.
Who's driven on the interstate for any amount of time, uh, you stop at a rest you know, if because all the rest areas are closed now. Yeah, so you have to stop at a gas station somewhere along the way and you go into some of those spices. Man, it looks like like you're in a goolag or something. I would like anybody ever walk anywhere a mop you know, you walk in somebody has been murdered here and maybe yesterday.
I don't know how.
I always I've been in places before like this is almost too gross to use the restroom inn. But ye, when you're driving and you stop, you know you really have to go. So I mean, I don't like just get your business. I can get out here before some of this gets on you. I am on my way to Canton on Sunday to call that game. You know, I had to, and I wanted I wanted to eat, and I excited to go, right, I want to eat,
I want to go to the bathroom work. So I tried to pull this Wednesday Wendy's and locked, go around the other door, locked, and they're.
Inside like, I'm like, your door's locked. I ain't care.
So I, honestly god, I went around the back of the dumpster and right, sure, right there, that's all you could do, all I could do.
I tried to do it the right way.
We were I still got in line and got me a couple of spicy chicken sandwiches.
Also they were the drive through was open. But yeah, that's weak.

The vice president defends the ice agent, says he defended himself.
This is the five o'clock report.
I'm Matt Reese breaking down.
This was an attack on the American people. The way that the media by and large has reported this story has been an absolute disgrace.
Vice President JD. Vance making a rare appearance at the White House Press briefing this afternoon. He wanted to talk about the shooting death of Renee Good after an ice agent open fire on her in Minneapolis yesterday.
That very off ice officer nearly had his life ended dragged by a car six months ago, thirty three stitches in his leg, so you think maybe he's a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile.
Band saying her death was a result of Democrats and far left networks demonizing law enforcement.
Vice President Vance insisted that Wednesday's fatal shooting was the fault of what he called, quote the far left.
And lunatic fringe.
Vance reiterated what he said on social media, calling Rene Nicole Goods death quote a tragedy of her own making, and said he believes the incident is clear cut, despite the fierce backlash and many outstanding questions.
You have a woman who was trying to obstruct a legitimate law enforcement operation.
Nobody debates that.
You have a woman who aimed her car at a law enforcement officer and pressed on the accelerator.
Nobody debates that.
I can believe that her death is a tragedy while also recognizing that it's a tragedy of her own making.
Karen Travers, ABC News, the White House couse Minority leader Hakeem Jeffery's calling Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome a quote stone called liar.
Jeffery says the killing was an abomination, saying blood's on the hand, so the Trump administration and the set of Minority leader Jock Schumer says there appears to be no justification for the agent shooting. DHS claims Good was using her car as a weapon against the agent when he opened fire. You might have seen a local protest earlier today. People driving on I seventy one both directions this morning saw signs on the fence on the overpass of Montgomery
Road and Brewster Avenue. One of them in white letters on a blue background read Ice murdered her.
And the other signs Gift. Blaylock was one of the demonstrators.
We have one that says stop ice, we have a one that says resists, Stop ices resist.
This demonstrator was holding a poster with a picture of Renee Good. Hey, what do you want people to know? As they drive by this overpass.
I want people to know that we need to find some ways to do good in memory of Renee Good.
That was this morning during the noon hour, all the signs and all the demonstrators were gone. Now let's check your drive home this afternoon. We have the latest traffic in weather together.

Dangerous Social Media Trends, media scandals, don't TikTok, boycotts and more.
All right, back with Eddie and Rocky.
And rock.
It's a frightening I'm gonna read the first sentence of the article. It's frightening how far some people will go in the pursuit of perfection. And what we're talking about here is removing your ribs.
Yeah, and I first thing is I have to imagine this is very unsafe. Your ribcage actually serves a purpose ed correct not cosmetic, but it protects, you know, your internal organs of need those things. So I don't know, sue what our guest has to say here. Well, it's great to have them back on the show in the new year. First off, Doc, happy happy, you know, great to talk to you.
Happy New Year. Guys, thanks for having me back.
Our good friend doctor Bruce Herman. We'll get into the ins and outs of this spella and where you can find them on social and stuff. But Doug, I mean, I'm bringing the story of this one woman who did it in New York. Now, it's this has been around for a while, right, I mean, but why is this different?
Yeah?
Yeah, this is not a new surgery, but fortunately it's a surgery that never really caught on, has never been something that any significant number of people do.
And when I saw this article pop up, I was like, whoa who who did that?
Like?
Who agreed to take this lady's ribs out?
So I started digging because I was like, I was like, my hunch was that she had this done outside of the United States, because I just it's hard for me to believe that a legitimate surgeon the United States would do this to somebody. And so I had to, like I had to look through all of her tiktoks, which I mean, that's like thirty minutes of my life I'm never getting back, and she she basically wouldn't say who did this to her. My suspicion is she went out
of the United States. Because this is the crazy part, and this is the part that you may not have seen in the article. They actually gave her her ribs in a plastic bag, like a like a little like bilasser.
Bag, and she has a video of her only one.
I'm just like, that is like such a violation of like you know, all types of like you know, like risk of infection and you know all. I was like, there's no way a surgeony United States would do this. So yeah, this was shocking to me. This is not a new surgery. It's something that's been done a time or two.
In the past.
But you guys hit the nail on the head. I mean, one, it is a risky surgery to remove your ribs. And two, those ribs, even though they're floating, which means, you know, is the twelfth and eleventh rib, they don't attach to your sternam like all the others.
They they kind of just end.
But they protect your spleen and your liver, which are kind of you know, important they get. I mean, you can go without a spleen, but if it starts bleeding, that's like a real problem.
So yeah, I was shocked about this. I mean I thought maybe there was going to be more pain. It was just the one.
But well, yeah, just to give people, just to give people an idea here of what happened. She spent about thirteen and a half thousand dollars on the surgery. She reduced her waste from thirty two inches to twenty four.
Yeah.
Well, listen, I looked at her photos, you know, since I was digging around her social media's and you know, I mean I personally am not like a fan of that like super ant waste. Look, but I will say the surgery did make a dramatic change in the figure. But that being said, it's not worth doing this. I mean, this is risky, both the surgery itself and if you're in a car crash.
Or something after this. I mean, you know, it's potentially a life threatening change.
And I will say also, after digging around this girl social media, she came back and said that she regrets it. She had complications, said it was the worst pain she's ever had, and she would absolutely not recommend anyone do this. So I guess there is a lesson in that. And also too, I will tell you I started digging into rib removal because I mean, this is not something people talk about very often. I was like, well, I'll just
look in and see if anyone's doing this. There is a procedure in the United States people are doing, which I mean, I guess if someone had their heart set on it, this is definitely better than removing the ribs. But they have this procedure called the rib x CAR and what they do is it's kind of slick, but
I don't recommend people do it. The surgeon will actually drill a couple of small holes in those ribs and then cause it to kind of fracture inward and you get the same effect, but without removing.
The rib Again, I would not recommend people do this.
I mean, you know, if somebody said, look, I'm doing this no matter what you say, I'd say, well, at least don't do the one where they take the ribs out, Like do the one where you get to keep your ribs and it just makes the shape better. But again, not an endorsement to me. Aesthetic surgery is something that should be easy and extremely safe, and when you start messing with your ribs, I just I think safety kind of goes out the window there.
Doc.
I'm glad to hear that you were well, very successful have a conscience in a line that you will not cross. That seems to be and hopefully that and like you know, putting devil horns into people and stuff like that.
I'm not sure if you do any of those, but they're not commonly.
No, we're talking to doctor Bruce Herman and doctor is that something that's done in the United States? I mean, seriously, what Rockes said, I've we've heard about the devil horns on the head or is that something you go to whatever the Dominican for.
I mean, there are body modification people that are like non doctors, so it's more like you know, tattoo parlors where they do kind of odd stuff like that.
I know we've talked about this in the past. I mean it's been probably a couple of years now.
They remember the Elpiers thing, yep. And I was always talking about, Man, I bet I could do that. I've never done one. It's almost been kind of a running joke on my show about you know, when I'm gonna start to be via Elfier surgeon for the stars but for your later there's a market for it, Yeah, yeah, I mean there are there is body modification that happens you know, but most of the time it's not surgeon's doing it, which you know, brings up whole not another
conversation about it. You should be, you know, having these invasive procedures done by a non you know, medical practice person. But like, I mean, people do all kinds of weird stuff. It's you know, it's kind of interesting this field. You just see stuff out there like this article, and you're just like, man, what what are people thinking to do this? And what are the people thinking that are actually doing it? Like I mean, it's like, wow, let me in your experience.
Is is this like a like I said, you know, I hate to be the one that blames social media for everything, but is this something where just people will see so many pictures and videos of percial media It's just totally fine.
Okay.
Social media has changed the landscape of plastic surgery and aesthetics to a great degree, and some of it has been good.
I will, you know, let's let's be honest.
I mean, you know, more information is always better, and yes, there is bad information out there, but I mean you have people like me who try to put the good information out there.
It's like, hey, this procedure is pretty safe. This procedure is not.
These are things you should watch out for if you're gonna, you know, consider doing synesthetics. These are things that you know are are red flags and these are like good signs. So I mean, yeah, social media is to blame for a lot of stuff. I mean it's you know, changed our world in numerous ways, and you know, plastic surgeries one of them.
So yeah, good and bad.
So Doc twenty six has just started. Uh yeah, it gives a lowdown what what's maybe the new procedures or what do you think would be maybe the hot a procedure for this coming Yeah yeah, yeah, I.
Don't know if there's anything new coming out that's gonna be kind of earth shattering. I look at things like, you know, what is the trend of body styles, and you know, the recent trend has been less Kardashian and more ballet body. So for example, we're.
I think this will be the year where Brazilian butt lifts start to lose a little bit of steam. I thought it was going to be last year and ended up being more or less static, Like it didn't really change up or down. You know, things like really large implants are kind of getting less popular for more modest results. I think people are starting to tire of the overdone look like the huge lips and stuff. So yeah, I'm
kind of with you on that, man. I you know, I love good aesthetic procedures where people look like themselves, they don't look like an alien. But man, there's such a fine line between looking good and getting just a little bit more and looking like like a monster or an alien. And so I think people are, you know, starting to see that, you know, maybe too much is not a good thing. So I'm optimistic that the trend is going to be for a little bit more conservative you know, outcomes.
But I guess we'll find out. I mean, it's something I definitely kind of follow.
But yeah, it hasn't been one single procedure that's popped up where I'm like, oh, that's you know, the next two things. There is one thing I don't know if we talked about Do we talk about the cadaver fat grafting?
Have we talked about that? No? But tell us do tell Yeah. So there's a new product out there.
It's called al Clay, and I did a segment on my show about it and basically what it is. It's gonna sound weird at first, but let me just you know, get to the end of it. So there's a new product where they harvest cadaver fat like like donor fat from humans, and they purify it and you can actually use it like a fat injection. So I do fat grafting.
I don't like to do the Brazilian butt list, which is the injecting fat in the butt because it's risky, but I do it for breast occasionally, you know, that's the main way I use it. Some other type of reconstruction applications I might use it, and so I think it has a place. And it freaks people out when you say it's cadaver, but you have to understand that
we use cadaver products all the time. I mean it is all throughout medicine and all fields where we use either donor you know, ligaments for u for reconstruction of a joint, or we use dermal tissue for reconstruction of the breast. So the fact that it's a cadaver is not that crazy, although it sounds weird when you when you say it. So I'm a little you know, optimistic on this one.
Right now.
The cost is the problem. Like to do a say, like a small augmentation of the breast.
You're looking at like twenty thousand bucks, which is money compared Yeah, it's insane. I'm just kidding. They can both charge breast like that. I think that might have a place down the line if the cost can come down and and so yeah, I don't know.
That's kind of new. And when I saw that, I was like, Okay, that's interesting. And it comes off the shelf.
Man, these these products are getting really slick where it's like you don't even have to freeze the stuff. It comes off the shelf at like room temperature. And and there's some research on it. I think it has some promise, but right now, the cost is kind of the big, the big tripping point.
And one of the thing we were talking about trends and stuff and the way things are changing, Doc, And I'm as I hesitate to say it because Rock's gonna melt down on me, but I got the impression that a lot of women were getting their breast implants taken out and stuff.
Yeah, so there's a real specific reason for that, because you know, twenty to thirty years ago, breast implants were super hot and they're still hot, right, but you know, the lifespan on these things is limited, and so you get a lot of people that put them in and they just forget about them.
And now twenty or thirty years have gone by, and what happens. A lot of people end up gaining weight.
And so when they were you know, twenty or thirty getting these things, they got these implants and it made their breast exactly what they want. Well, you know, people get older, they gain a little bit of weight, and suddenly the breast turned from like d's to triple d's and suddenly they don't need the implants at all. And so I get a lot of people in my practice these days that you know, have old implants and they you know, they either may want them out or they
do want them out. And I take a look at them. I say, look, you got plenty of breast issue. You don't need an implant at all. So we pull out the implant, We do a little lyft on the breast, and we get fabulous results. I mean, it's one of my favorite operations to do because it's it's not technically super challenging. The patients, you know, have almost no recovery and it's very low risk. So I do a lot of implant removals these days. And that's not a slight
against implants, because they're still insanely popular. But it's just that people's desires change after twenty or thirty years and their bodies change.
Well, the one that comes to mind for me is Danica Patrick. She made a big deal. Yeah, okay, yeah, I mean her story is a little different.
I don't know if you've ever talked about that breast implant illness thing that kind of popped up in five to ten.
Years ago, remember that?
Yeah?
Yeah, And you know, and we had the plastic surgeons when this popped up, or like, geez, did we did we miss something here? So we did, Like and I say we, I personally was not in the lab doing this stuff, but I do read the papers about it. You know, a lot of research papers were done to try and figure out if this was like a real phenomenon. Was like, okay, we're breast implants actually causing these symptoms, which were things like headache, fatigue, joint pain, and you know,
and we could never find a link. And I'll tell you my opinion. And I know people might say he's saying this because he's a plastic surgeon. But my feeling is is that these symptoms that people were having are just normal symptoms of getting older, and people were attributing these things to implants. And as I said, you know, the research to date has not found any any link to that. But I know Danika Patrick was like a big, big believer in it, and you know, she had her
implants out. She's like, oh, I feel so much better, and and you know, and honestly, there's a little bit of a oh man, I'm blamant having yeah, placebo right, Yet there's a little bit of a placebo effect. You know if I if I tell you, hey, I'm gonna do this procedure and you're gonna feel better, most people feel better.
You're gonna feel better, whether they are more natural and all that. Yeah. So yeah, people come in and oh sorry.
I've had people come in and say, look, I think my implants, you know, may be causing me, you know, these issues. I'm like, you know, I just say, hey, here's the data on it, like very objectively, this is what the research says. But you want your implants out, take them out. I mean, if you think they're causing a problem. It's going to be in your head until you get them out right. So I don't have any problem. People want their implant socks, they think they're causing an issue.
I at least give them the data and say, look, there hasn't been a link down under this, but that hey, we can take them out.
Chances are you'll feel better. And people do it. But it's not a huge number like that.
The rate of people who say that have that implant illness is less than one percent of people with them plants.
It's really small.
With that doc, we got to let you go. People want to find out more. Where can they go? Where can they find nip Talk?
Yeah, so I do my weekly podcast on Friday, a little of exciting news. I know we got to go, but I do have a new co host coming on. My cost of three years had to leave because of work stuff.

You know, you get another perspective from Governor Lall's, you know, the governor of Minnesota and the mayhore of Minneapolis, and they don't mix orbs about. You know, they think this is
a bad shoot. But I guess you have to look at it this way that the video, I think you could kind of go either way because I don't think totally black and white as to who's its fault here. In other words, did what I'm trying to say is did the agent who shot her? Did he have the justification to use deadly force? So that's always the question that's going to going to come up. In other words, did he believe that she was going to run him over with her truck?
Right?
And so he shot once into the lower right hand corner of the windshield, and then I believe he shoots two more times into the side of the vehicle where she's sitting and in her car, price is a few feet away. So there's that there's that aspect the FBI. Originally, I think we're going to partner with the Minnesota the state police, and that got vetoed, and so it's just
going to be the FBI. Not totally uncommon, but you know, I've worked versions of this before and it's always been partnered with with one of the jurisdictions, in this case from the state. So that's where kind of we are. So there's a lot of loose ends, there's a lot of people to interview. The FBI will do a shooting reconstruction, in other words, in particular, if they have cameras to help them. Did did the ICE agent who shot this person? Did he have a camera on him.
Evidenced exactly?
And so and if he didn't, did somebody else that's close by? And clearly they got a lot of video from people in the crowd because you know, people pop up their phones and off they go. So so we'll see, but this isn't an investigation is going to take a while, and but I just don't think people are going to be satisfied whichever direction this may get cut.
Do we know what My question is, what was a middle aged woman with a six year old okay, doing in a neighborhood in the freezing cold on a Wednesday at an ICE protest?
What was she doing there? And while being in her car involved with the inner.
Minglings of Ice, Like, like, I can't imagine any sane, middle aged woman would put themselves in that situation.
You know, I only know sort of what incidentally, the media has reported based on interviewing people, which is that she was sympathetic to the to the immigration issue. I think she may have neighbors or friends that are part of the immigrant community. Now why she felt obligated to block the road, we don't know the answer to that. It's kind of interesting.
Yeah, that's a terrible decision. Like I mean right now, I mean, the ICE lawfully can can do what they are doing.
It is the law.
Like, you know, if I I don't like paying taxes, which I don't, I can't ram my car into the government building in downtown Cincinnati. I have to you know, I have to talk to my local politician. We've got to get laws changed. I just feel like these people are going about it the wrong way and they're almost being encouraged.
Well maybe maybe. And the other question that's going to be asked is did any of the behaviors before the shooting, Was there any behavior by Ice that may have facilitated or precipitated her reaction to them, and then she drives off. Those are all questions that will get answered, you know, in an investigation. It doesn't sort of change anything as far as whether you think the Ice agent that shot her was justified or not. That sort of a separate issue.
Well, Brad, let me ask you just brought up the investigation. How long will something like that take Normally.
Well, it'll take a few weeks, Yeah, and there may I just I think the short answer, it will take a few weeks because you've got to reconstruct the shooting now that can be done in fairly quick quarter, which you've got a lot of people to interview, both that are officers and civilians because they were right there. You know, what did they see? What are their statements?
Do they have video?
All of those kind of things, And clearly to your earlier point, they'll they'll do an extensive background on her that may well answer some of the questions you're asking me and the circumstances that led up to her a being there and b why in the world was you blocking the road with all these Ice agents around? So it's a it's a story that's going to take a while to unlignd, but I don't think too ofteny long.
All right with that, Brad, we will let you go, buddy, Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Thanks Brad, I thanks Brad. And and other news well coming up, but we want to hit this rock.

On other stuff won the police blotder Rock. This is an update on the case from twenty twenty three. Cedric Lodge fifty eight and his wife Denise had been indicted back then for stealing and selling human body parts from the Harvard Medical School Morgue. They finally were sentenced just the other day in federal court.
Uh the uh.
Mister Lodge was sentenced to eight years in prison and his wife Denise sentenced to a little more than a year for helping them. The Lodge is what they did would bring people into the Medical School morgue with a potential buyer, shop around and the there was like bodies obviously and the donated remains. They would let them shop through there, I guess, being like a jewelry store and you're going through, Oh that looks nice.
A uh yeah. They would say it was like a Chinese you know what. I like that skulled over there. Oh and I like that arm.
That's good looking. They would then okay, they'd write down their list and then they'd come back later on. They would take them home and ship them through the mail. The parts included heads, brains, skin, and bones. One of the things a lodge provided a buyer with was skin to beat, tanned into leather and bound into a book.
That's some ed gain serocular stuff, right right. How do you get into that? I guess if you work around it and there's I guess it is that like a lucrative market.
I guess.
You know, if you're into that, it's hard to get so you pay for it. How weird? How well? I want to know?
I want to meet the guy that had the thing balance, you know, leather bound book, it human skin?
