Eddie & Rocky -- 10/23/25

All right, back with Eddie and Rocky, And it really is Eddie and Rocky.

I'm back ed back from the first state. Had a game in Delaware last night that took four hours because of the referees reviewing things all the time.

It's funny because I I turned the game on for a little while in the middle of the third quarter and uh, and I'm looking at the time of my boy's going to be there a little while.

God, I mean, it's it's again, as I said to Ken Troy Aikman said it earlier in the year, and I've adopted the phrase nothing will kill a broadcast quicker than those yellow flags, and they just it's it's the calling down from the booth and the reverse the booth reversal, and.

It's just, well, is that what happened? Because I was wondering if there was some kind of weather problem that I know, see.

You would think that would make sense and that would be acceptable, but it's, uh, it's more there. Well, the one that really got me was there was a got targeting that came down like it didn't get caught on the field, all right, so okay, fine, but then the booth calls down for it they review it for like three minutes, and then they say, after further review, there's

How did you find?

Right?

I know, Hey, I found Delaware. You drove east and there it was, but it agatting there was pretty easy, right, You flew into Philly.

In Philly and it was like a forty minute drive, it was. It was really easy Delaware and nice campus, nice facility. And it was cool too, because you know, when you think Delaware football, the name that immediately comes to mind is Joe Flacco, even though that was you know, going on twenty years ago. But obviously with him being here in Cincinnati and being the man that can do no wrong, people are now interested in what he eats

He likes to eat by himself. Because we're going to be talking to Jason Hobbin a little while and I have to give him a little.

Crap for you do Yes? Does he like Skyline? I mean like just Sesson Cincinnati.

I like you, But.

Have you been to a little Yeah, you suck.

Anyways, we were going to talk about oil prices, but apparently our guy Ray is busy. But let's talk about this story that just broke a little while ago.

Rock.

This is a sports gambling thing. Yeah, this is nuts, man, It's really nuts.

And I sly gambling is is bigger than ever because it's more accessible than ever because a the online nature of it, and then be all these states that it's legal. Now you don't have to have some secret you know, bookie and you know, and go to some offshore account and you can literally I guess I could be sitting here right now doing this show. I don't do this because I don't I don't gambling games, but I could be.

It.

One is some things going on with with poker, like high stakes poker, gambling and lots of.

Ways to cheat.

There's X ray vision glasses that can see the card even if it's face down.

There's let's talk about that. But let's talk about the NBA thing that real quick, because it essentially is point shaving.

Yes, it's and it has to do a lot of like parlay bets, which you know, and and it has to do with you know, Chauncey Billups who's the Cherub Blazer's head coach, and Terry Rozier who plays for the Heat, I believe, and another guy uh three three for more current NBA players. But yeah about you know, hey, let's hear it. Here's the under and Terry Razier would more or less take a dive Foo hurts. Yeah, I'm coming out, boom boom. And I looked at Terry Rozier has made

I don't know, idea, but that's crazy. Well, we've talked about that before. How in the hell do you screw the if you're making if somebody pays you one hundred and sixty million dollars? And I mean you always hear about We've talked about it a million times people, just like you said, pissing it all away? Now, how much you're going to risk that all to get caught by the freaking FBI because you faked a foot injury. That's ridiculous, man, it's crazy talk.

I guess they look at it like you know. And I'll say this as someone who calls games for a living, right, I am privy to information about a team the night before the game, or hours before the game, or minutes before a game that no one else has you know, wasn't done in the meeting, and the coaches say hey, look this is this stays in these four walls, but the quarterback isn't going to start. I mean that if I were a dishonest person, that'd be pushing pretty powerful

So let's.

Because the only reason I was killing time there, I was going to try to get the information in front of me, but because you have to read it yourself. This poker thing that they had gone on, I mean, this is very Ocean's eleven. I mean it's insane the stuff these guys were doing.

High tech cheating technology, right is what was going on? Like again, glasses that would could look at a card face, down on the dealer's table and see what it actually was. I read something where, you know, the little caddies that the chips are are placed in those had cameras in them, you know, cameras in the in the tables. The auto shuffle machine, auto shuffle machine had it was programmed to shuffle of miss or. It's crazy. By the way, I've

See that's the thing. It's you and I were talking off here about the fact that the mob's not what you think it what we think of.

Think of the.

Old movies where you're you know, you're breaking people's hands and putting their head in a vice and all that stuff. I'm thinking of you casino and burying them in the desert someplace in a shallow grave, YadA, YadA. Well, apparently the new mafia is all high tech.

Man, yeah, all high tech. Now they still may cut people's fingers off.

And so there's no questions about that.

But yeah, and this is going to be And look that this is a good thing, right, This is a good thing for Vegas, is a good thing for gambling. That these things are because from what I have read, it's never been harder for the house, okay, or the you know, the bookmakers to make money because there's so much information out there. There's analytics that normal people you and I and look, Jason Hoften comes on. He talks about different analytics, so betters are are smarter than ever.

Well, we will see see how this all shakes out. But it is amazing that these people were that It's funny what we were talking about the mafia, they were responsible. We were talking about there these guys that organized the whole tech part and the fixing the games, and this and that and the other. And then mafia helped him

But but this is remember was it Tim Donihie the referee, the NBA referee early two thousands, That was you know, he was involved in making a call or not making a car here and there. Yeah, if there's money to be made, there's gonna be people gonna try to get a little edge and try to I guess the NBA player with one hundred and six if you put one hundred and sixty million dollars in just an S and P, don't touch it. Don't even have some you know, high

Well, you could put it in a savings account at fifth third Yeah.

You know CD and they still give those a CD at three and a half percent. Yeah, sign me up.

You'll live longer to be good.

I would do anything for love, but I won't do that. I was telling Austin, who does not know this song at all, Like, if you're a kid watching MTV in three.

Yeah, okay, he's watching.

I mean the hot model that's in if you were thirteen years old as I was when this video came out, you were watching this video like, oh yeah, So I was never wanted to be like an overweight, kind of half dracky looking guy in your life than I did back in ninety three.

See, I was more of a paradise by the Dashboard light guy. This album was massive, massive for people who don't know, it was Bad out of Hell and this that album was huge.

Yeah, kick kick that out again.

Give me a rock song with a piano in it, and you got yourself a hit.

That song I'm gonna say, don't come easy, good, some it don't come up some days, come from bad, traculate get up.

But he was like so different than any other act out there for sure.

I mean this is like when grunge music was going, and you know, Guns, Guns and Roses was big, Metallica was big, and then the operettic meat Loaf was huge.

Just how talented he was. You know where he came from, Florida. He was a rocky horror picture show. That that's where he started. Yeah, and it was either just the stage play or in the movie I forget okay, but yeah.

Because he had the he had the album like in the seventies, Right, was that Bad out of Hell? And this was Bad out of Hell too? Right?

Oh was that a Bad at Hell too? I thought that was on the original. Yeah, yes, but the whole Bat out of Hell thing was huge.

Yes, it's good. And he was also oh god of the movie with Brad Pitt and Edward Ordon Fight Club, Fight Club. Yeah yeah. He played the guy who took the steroids man Boobs.

Yeah yeah, what an odd role.

But he nailed it.

And it was, like I said, he loaf, this may loaf.

He's great. He died a couple of years ago.

Well, I forget what. I forget why he died, didn't I don't. I think he had some kind of illness. I don't want to say I just had a heart attack because of obesity or something.

But he was seventy four, Okay, so well, yeah he had yeah Wolf Parkinson White syndrome, a condition marked by an extra an extra electrical pathway in the heart, which causes symptoms like a rapid heartbeat. So you throw that, throw some rock and roll on top of it. That's not that's not gonna be well for your your heart condition. I will tell you this and maybe somebody can report on this who uh may have seen him live, But I have read reports that live he sucked. Really yeah, don't tell me that.

I know.

Man, I was bummed too because I.

Had some like, you know, one hundred piece orchestra just killing it.

Yeah, you would think that he's like, oh you thought like you said, like he was the opera guy. But that just reports I read mebe I was wrong. Yes, So because I've also read reports that bon joe Is it sucks life.

I'm not kidding you.

Shut your mouth right now, Hey, rock she's saying board would die before he put out a bad show.

He could play guitar.

Bon Joey can't say.

Yeah, so about here?

I about Out of Hell care in nineteen seventy seven, and that was a huge album, two out of three. Ain't bad, right, that was.

What I was. I'm getting confused, but yeah.

But then again, i'm your we're talking, I mean literally, twenty five years later he has another hit album with mostly that song that was played a million times on the on air? Did you play that in the ANBN?

Yeah?

I don't think really, yeah, okay, more popular that would have been your Q one O two's and okay, whatever, right, But uh no, we were too busy playing we Black Album nineteen ninety three.

You were you were you kidding me? Digging deep into black dude?

We were but deep in the Black Album. I'm not kid yet. We were looking for stray B sides of anything that might be a single on that album.

Trust me, most underappreciated track on that album. We're talking about the Black Album. Yeah, of Wolf and man See.

I have to go back and revisit it. But I will tell you this. I was never much of a Metallica fan. The only reason I wasn't a fan is because I really, honest to god, didn't really listen to Metallica much. Of course, I knew the big songs before the Black Album came out, and then I really started listening to them, and about then on that tour, I went to see them here in town at the at the Arena, and I was amazed at how well I

And look, i mean traditional Metallica fans will and I'm old, I mean you know right and Justice for All I think is a near perfect album. But and it's very commercially but every song on that album, the Black Album, is spot on, spot on. You see. I caught a little bit the end of Injustice for All because that video one got some airplay on MTV when they did head Banger's Ball and stuff. I'm like, Holy God, what

You know who else had a great video with a song called one You two and uh, I I.

I'm not kidding, just ruined the perfect segment.

I think it's because of you that I did, honest to God, because we've also talked about this with you always doing Uh.

If you listen to the show.

You know that I always give Rocky crap because he'll get a song stuck in his head and they'll sing like the same, like seven words of that song, not even two lines, but the very first time, like virgin for the very first time, It's like, Okay.

I guess he's right.

And I had a dream the other night that I was going well and somebody said what song is that? I was like, I don't know, but I think it's YouTube. That's all I remember from the dream.

I don't know. It's you Too is a crap song.

It's you Too.

Rock and other news and just and I thought of this story when when I read it, I thought of you here we go, uh, because are you going calling? This is a callback to your former UH trustee days. Yes, because I can see you standing up in front of a crown. This guy in New Jersey, he is well, real, thrilled. Philly is his name. He came to tell him the whole meeting to ask questions about a recent property tax hike. But before he said a word, as he sapped, you know,

He went on to.

Ask a few specific questions about taxes and school expenses, then gathered his papers from the podium and moon walked back to his seat. And also, it turns out he is a candidate for the Crawford Township Committee.

Okay, so this was his audition. This is he was gonna wow them and say, hey, they're going to choose me. On his website, I hope to bring a friendly, stress free way of our committee to our committee. When dealing with the public. In my day's green town, we'd have all kinds of people come up and air their you know, opinions about certain things. But nothing ever like that. I tell you this more happens now because everything's on video and so much so just do something.

If you don't think that guy doesn't have a TikTok beaji would be.

Film really Yeah.

So yeah, with that, we check in with traffic, good weather, what is going on right now?

Buck under our good friend PJ Street.

Yes, and the topic and I toured in this on air last week. I'd like to discuss fasting. You hear a lot about that as how good it is for you, and it does this, it does that. There's twenty four hour fast, there's thirty six hour fast, there's you know, people people push it. You hear there's some great benefit to it. But is that true. PJ will of course set the record straight.

Now.

I had this article last week, but I thought it was absolutely insane. The It was an Axios article and it was claiming that fifty two the articles that you read on the Internet are written by ai.

I'm sadly, I'm not surprised, but that figure is crazy.

And what's even more crazy is the article was writing it from the perspective of boy. We actually thought by this time it'd be more than fifty percent. But think about fifty I mean one on of every two articles you read, a human being didn't write it, and that's only going to get just.

More and more and more and more.

Well, I see articles all the time now because obviously we'd go through a lot of information for this show, believe it or not. And I've noticed more and more though there's never a lot of articles that I read don't have a byline by a human on it, you know what I'm saying, written by you know whatever, Jason Hoffin or whoever. It's just like it doesn't even say AP or anything on it. It just has a story.

I was talking to a woman yesterday and the long story but they lived in their house for like thirty years and they sold it because they wanted to move close to their kids in college. But yeah, it was sentimentally. So they wrote, you know, the the new owner is a letter, you know whatever, just about how much hope you enjoyed this.

My wife did that when we sold our.

Right and the woman, by the way is an author, and she told me, she's like, yeah, I used AI to write this arc. Like I tried writing it, tried to get the right and I just couldn't. So I just he just pumped it in there, like, you know, there's some of the prompts of like, you know, I really wanted to kind of talk about our family's history and talk about my young son. And she's like, I wrote a better article or a better letter than I could ever write. Like, but it's not yours, she writes, she.

Writes books that's well, wait a minute, to be kind of supposed to be from the heart.

That's that's the thing I am. I wonder and I think I'm sure I'm being naive, But there's so and you and I talk about this four years ago, five years ago, with all the deep fakes and the videos out there and fake and we not knowing what's we're here, we're officially here. I mean, it is a lot there's a video going on. I see around a lot now. It's and it looks like a like a ring doorbell kind of camera situation, and it's like a bear in

Just I don't think so at all.

That's what I know. But do you think that people will turn away from the Internet and say, you know what I'm gonna I'm not gonna flip on TikTok anymore because I don't know if that video is real or fake? So hell? Or are they just gonna double down and just say, oh, I'm entertained by it, So.

Let's say you do.

It doesn't matter because even if you just say, okay, I'm only gonna watch news on TV, how long before that bleeds onto TV and is presented as real?

Right?

Well, and that's the yeah, I guess Overall'm asking do people just kind of go and actually revert back backwards back to real experiences like going on hikes and instead of watching a concert online, actually go to the concert and not video it, and go on a backpacking trip and go see nature because that's like a genuine experience. Or do people go my brain and the dopamine hit that my brain gets when I hit this video.

I like it.

So if it's real, if it's fake, I don't give it. What do you think.

Pretty soon you're going to be Well, you already can, but you just put on your You can spend a couple of grand on some VR goga and you can experience anything you want to. So you would drop two grand. Okay, you didn't spend two thousand or ten thousand dollars to go to India to see the taj Mahll. You could take a tour of it walking around your living room.

It'll be interesting to see. Because I feel like that's what has a good chance of happening. But there's a small sliver of hope in mankind that I have that go. People go Nope, not doing it. I'm not gonna do it now. I'm gonna look for a real experience.

I'm older than you, and I have very little hope. I know I am totally naive.

I this is total wishful thinking, and I think you're probably right.

Well be uh, let's let's talk about more important things like fasting. Coming up next after the news News Radio seven hundred WLW.

We wanted to touch base with you on the topic of fasting. It's talked about a lot online on Instagram, all the all the sites out there, of course. So I guess, first, PJ, describe fasting in the different I guess ways you're seeing it come up, the different programs of fasting that are being I guess put out there is being beneficial.

Yeah, there's a.

Lot of different fasting protocols. There's you know, I think the most common one would be this it's called sixteen eight fasting, to where you're only going to eat in a like an eight hour window. So that's basically for most people just skipping breakfast and then eating between like you know, twelve and eight o'clock at night. There's alternate day fasting, to where you don't eat anything for an entire day and then you eat you know, your normal intake the next day and Rinson repeat.

Uh.

There's water fasting.

Where all you do is drink water for a prolonged period of time, which I've covered. I think I covered that last year on the show, which is ridiculously dumb. There's how about sugar fasting? How about juice?

I'm sorry, buddy, juice, Yes, because I've heard of that too, just drinking juice. Now, that seems a little odd to me. But does does does that work? While we're talking about it?

So look, it's a good question, Eddie.

And at the end of the day, all of these forms of fasting do nothing more. Well, potentially, I shouldn't. It's not guarantee. It does nothing more than put somebody in an energy deficit.

Okay, that's really it.

Uh, you know, so it's really but you know, does the science support any of this or is this just another overhype fad with a new marketing twist. And mostly it's the latter. You know, fasting is not magic. It it only really works if it puts you in an energy deficit. There's no real like hormonal loophole that makes you burn fat just because you know, you skip breakfast and then eat a in a certain window of time.

So let me give you an example.

A two hundred pound guy, uh probably needs like roughly twenty five hundred colluris a day to maintain their weight. Well, if he eats three thousand calories in a three hour window, that's not the idea. He's gaining weight, right, fastening or not. So you know, let me give you a typical example. Let's say you don't eat all day and you're you know, you're you're fastening, and you're waiting until I don't know, six o'clock a night dat and you go out with

So pj okay, I understand about in terms of weight loss and and you know, keeping your body in a calorie deficit or fasting a lot of times it doesn't work. But are there any other health benefits? Because because that's right, I hear a lot of it. Right, you know, cortisol levels are this, and it helps decrease your chances of you know, Alzheimer's and whatever. Right, there's all kinds of

It's a wonderful question, rocket And look anecdotically, some people do report, you know, things like better mental clarity, less brain fog, they feel sharper, they feel more energized during their fast. But I'll tell you that there's just as many people who report fatigue and brain fog and irritability. That would I would be in this category if.

I irritability would be mine PJ.

Yes, if my wife knows if I don't eat, I get cranky, I'm in that.

So it's a good point, Rocky, because look, there's no guarantee you're going to be in the feel good group doing this.

You know what I mean?

Right now, in terms of your question about you know, certain medical conditions, there is emerging and I want to stress the word emerging research on fasting's potential role in managing conditions like type two diabetes MS and Alzheimer's, but it's far from conclusive, and and most of these studies are very small, they're early stage, or they're in animals.

I don't know about you, guys.

But if I didn't eat for a full day and then resumed eating the next day, I would eat ten double right, Like, yeah, that's I have a It's ultimately a wash, isn't it. I mean, and for most people that's what it is. So again, nothing. Here's the thing about about weight loss, guys. You're gonna have to to pick some form of restriction that.

There's no way around that.

There's gonna be some rules, there's gonna be some sacrifice, there's gonna be stuff that you have to say no to. But the nice thing is you get to You get to pick your form of restriction, right.

You know.

It could be the carnivore diet. It could be keto, it could be intermitute fasting.

It could be what I'm a proponent of, is tracking calories, flexible dieting, you know, weighing out your food, et cetera. You get to pick the form of restriction. So you really need to find the form of restriction that's gonna gonna work best for you.

Now, if you yourself PJ ever, just as an experiment, try to a fast or not eating for twenty four hours or forty eight hours something like that.

Well, I mean, I guess I think I've said this before. I guess I do sixteen eight fasting because I don't eat usually until like eleven or twelve o'clock every day that I don't call it fasting.

I just call it personal life. I still yeah, yeah.

That's all my life. That anything to like lunch.

Yeah, okay, that's just my preference, right, But there's nothing magical about it. It's not like I'm you know, accelerating my fat loss or anything by doing that. It's just you know, I'm up early training people, right, I'm good with coffee.

You know, I'm busy.

I'm not thinking about eating, and I prefer to kind of like backload my calories. But I'm still going to have like three meals, like one at eleven, one at two, one at five, maybe another one at seven.

You know maybe.

But so I get I guess I've been fasting for fifteen years now. I don't call it that, but you know, I just I just kind of backload.

My calories a little bit. So well, yeah, I want to reemphasize. Yeah, sure, I'm sorry, but you're talking about these three meals. Okay, A guy like you, you're a personal trainer, What would those three meals that you do at those certain times of the day, well, where that consist of more.

Or less Yeah, I mean I basically we talked about this last week. I basically eat the same five or six meals throughout the week on autopilots.

So that would be like the.

Eleven o'clock is going to be some type of protein rice bowl, just sticky rice or jasmine rice with some form of protein. It could be ground turkey. It could be chicken breast, it could be lean steak. Next meal might be like some type of a protein wrap on a high fiber lober tortilla. Next meal might be Greek

Okay, sound was saying about this PGA as we were talking. Not now, because I'm kind of busy with you know, football season and stuff, but maybe like January, I want to like make myself a guinea pig and you know, try like a twenty four hour fast or something that you come up with, like like next year, I want you to come up with, you know, some of the diety myths or whatever that are out there, and just for sheer torture purposes, right, just just see if in my own head, if I can do it, if I'm

What are you doing yourself? Brod, Hey, listen, listen.

We're gonna do We're gonna do a juice fast on Monday, and then we're gonna do no food on Tuesday, you know, all all meat on Wednesday, and then all sugar on Thursday, and then you're not gonna eat again until Sunday.

How about that?

And I'm willing to do it, man, honest to God. Let's let's try it.

And we're gonna have Kelly and ministers on Sunday and see what happens to you.

That's the real experiment is her is can she go that week without killing me? That's as I will bed are off of that that's the experiment.

Now, rock rocking it. I've talked about I brought this up before. It's been a while. I I for years I've wanted to do the Cincinnati Diet. It's kind of an experiment. So you and I can do that together together. Yeah, what is it?

Yeah? Great? Explain it's all Cincinnati food.

So it's it's going to be the Roses Skyline, Uh, Ryan, guye Buskin, gold Star Rose, all gliers, Gotta or getta all of it. And I guarantee that we can lose weight eating nothing but Cincinnati born food.

And what limit our calories to? What eighteen hundred and two thousands quantify? Yeah, we're gonna have to.

I'll set you up, Rocky. I'll do it with you. Does that.

You said?

Ryan?

Guys, so you have a couple of beers along the way.

Yeah, we'll put those in sure.

Yeah, because we have we have a guy come on every year he does beer fast.

He does that at uh for lent right and drinks another but beer and he always loses like twenty palands.

Yeah no, but I can tell you Look, if we do this, I'm mis warning you we're both going to be ridiculously hungry all the time because none of those shoods are They're tasty, but none of those foods are very satiating at all.

No, Like I mean to get our two thousand calories of Cincinnati style chili is going to be not gonna be a lot of food. No, it's gonna be a couple of cheese conies the whole day. And that's it.

That's the whole day. That would be honestly rocky. A jumbo three way and two cheese conies. You're you're about you're you're at your calorie limit for the day.

Right there, like like diet pop or anything.

What do you drink whatever? Calories? Yeah, okay, yep, but I'm willing to do it.

I'll probably only do it for a month, though, because that's gonna it sounds great, It sounds fun, but it would be Let's just.

Make January can replete hell on me and you. Let's just see who breaks first, all right, Let's let's do it for pure research purposes. Maybe a documentary will ensue. I don't know, but uh, Eddie Eddie or you in?

Are you in?

No?

I'm gonna document it, okay, but.

You gotta work with me.

For three hours and I'm like, I hate you.

Let's that's all I care about.

Put that in your Instagram stories, Rocky, Yeah, with them all.

Look, I'm I've always said, I'm all. I think everybody should willfully suffer for like fat thirty or sixty days every year.

That's what I'm getting at, PJ. Let's willfully suffer. Let's let's I mean I'm talking, Let's make it horrible and see what happens.

We'll get up, play with you know of Wolf and Man every morning and get ourselves.

Yeah, and that is the best song on the Black album. I just listening, Thank you, thank you absolutely with the this guy with with that, PJ, we will let you go.

Yeah, our good friend Jason Off huge news. We talked a little bit about it today during the course of the show. But Huge News kind of two related but separate. FBI probes that have come out, you know, where they've put charges out. One is a illegal poker, high stakes poker kind of thing going on using some high tech and X ray glasses and all kinds of stuff.

And the other involving.

NBA and Parlays and a couple of NBA players Coach Chauncey Billups involved in the gambling world, and FBI is involved in nang Gonna be good.

And in relation to that, we will be giving our football picks for the week.

Yeah, why not?

But Jarro, on your way to the long next to you and Lance, I'm sure we'll be talking about this.

Yeah, we'll probably touch on a little bit. We're heavy Bengals and heavy football. But yeah, I'm sure we'll touch on this. And we're at the rich Wood location. I believe this is the last time at Richwood. I could be wrong, but we'll be there tonight.

All right, Rock, And speaking of such things, this is a BP convenience store in Making, Missouri. Apparently they have slot machines there.

Wow.

This was reported that that made it really handy for Amber Butler thirty four to satisfy her gamembling addiction while she was working in the store.

That's rough.

Only problem was her on the job wagering was that she was allegedly taking money from the store's cash register and the safe and feeding it into the machines.

I mean, if you were a serious yeah, you know, had a serious gambling problem, and you had access to the cash to be able to put insaid gambling machine, that would be I'd be a real trick.

She also confessed to scratching lottery tickets she hadn't bought, and stealing cigarettes and bottled water from the store, and the story says, confusingly, she pleaded not guilty being held in the county jail.

Sure, there's a surveillance camera there, and.

Uh yeah, how do you say?

Huh? We sure went through it.

It's ten thirty.

How do we go through all the scratch offs?

We went all the scratch off and man, are people starting to smoke again? Right right? Yeah, unbelievable. Well there you go, there you go. Gamely, addictions is not good for your kids.

No else isn't good. So we talked about tech and AI a lot. Well, for the amazing things that AI can do and can detect and all that, there's it still has some bugs. So this is in Baltimore. Okay, Baltimore County public schools, they have like an AI driven gun detection software in schools. It's called the hon Alert Gun Detection System. Okay. He uses AI to examine surveillance video in order to identify a weapon, and within seconds they can tell if somebody's carrying something this and that

Wow.

Yeah, Yeah, informed Island that the ALI saysn't it falsely identified the bag of Dorito's as a gun, which of course shouldn't happen at all.

Uh.

You talk about the incidents upsetting blah blah blah blah blah. Uh, police officers were you know, obviously then kind of wrapped everything up there. But yeah, they for whatever reason it detected something in whatever our room it uses and said guy's got a gun. Contacted police. Boom, they swarm on the scene.

See charge.

A pretty big difference in a Dorito bag an empty Drea bag in a arm.

Did he have it folded?

Yeah?

Yeah, maybe gun. We've all done that.

You take a piece of paper and you're kind of folded into a gun. Maybe, But I think you just kind of ate some drios after practice and was walking around and boom.

I'll tell you, man, this happened to me a long time ago when I'm still living Dayton, and my buddy and I had come up. We're driving on seventy five and he had this crappy old car and it just just it's like whatever, midnight or whatever it was, and it just happened. We went dead right next to an exit. So we walked down the exit. There was a gas station right there, so we go in there. And this is before we're obviously way before cells and all that stuff.

So, so, what was the situation.

Somebody called and said they thought somebody was robbing it because they said they saw a guy spread eagle with his arms against the wall, lean up again, and I was just leaning against them. It wasn't like I was sitting there with both hands of the log, going hey, how would this look if I, you know, if if I was getting robbed? But yeah, one hand on the wall and a guy called the copsollence, I.

Guess in a way it's you know, they're they're not taking get any chances, right, but still you'd like to think, you know, somebody would have some better information in that.

Well, believe me whatever, I was eighteen year old Eddie Fingers, Like I said, if I didn't pee my pants that day, I reckon, I'm never going to.

Yeah, and that would be scary staring on the barrel of three guns.

Yeah, uh and rock speaking of criminal activity, but they speaking of peeing. In South South Carolina at this time, TikTok users and others are following the escapades of the CCU pisser.

They're calling him.

At the Coastal Carolina University campus, there's a guy who goes around and apparently puts himself on TikTok, relieving himself on various things around campus.

You just walking around pin on stuff.

Yeah, I features one inside you Pete on the logo of THEE for example, and UH has one of himself on the school's football field CCU. I wouldn't comment on the shenanigans, but a detective quote unquote, unaffiliated with the school is also who's also a big time I guess he's got a following on TikTok because he's following this guy says I know you are warning the pissard that says I know your name and I know where you're

So dude, what, Yeah, come on, I know it's all about content. You're struggling for content, just like we struggle for content sometimes on this show. But come on, man, you gotta do better than.

Okay, said.

On stuff and also a real quick story. This is crazy a little town in Iowa, Jessup, Iowa. It is the police department there is issued a warning that tpeing this Halloween is banned and anyone doing it will face legal charges.

Can't TP ain'tbody.

Anymore, not on Halloween. Apparently the police have again is this local or is this somewhere else? No, this was in a little town Jessup, Iowa, I don't know where that's at, labeled it harassment and have identified multiple people whom they are investigating for trespassing, criminal mischief, illegal dumping, and disorderly conduct. So you know, beware before you TP somebody's house this year.

I've done this one time, by the way, one TP in my life, and like the family knew it. It was a girl, you know, a bunch of us knew in high school and they won the volleyball state title or something, and so the parents knew it, like all right, yeah, so before they came home, we went to you know and got it and sure it was good fun. Yeah, well you would be don't do it on Halloween.

You'd be purp walked out of Jessup man with the let's check in with traffic, good weather.

What is going on going on?

If we have illegal dumping on your property, you'd probably want some TP. I'm just saying, you know, from think about it. From the u SEE Health Traffic Center.

Now here's Dan and d Lapp who famously convinced your fellow offensive lineman to go sleeveless in the Freezer Bowl where the wind show was minus fifty nine degrees. Was it more of a psychological advantage or a physical one?

You know, I think it was both in you know, that's I was thinking initially, was I'm from the east, you know, I'm from the New England area.

I've gone through some winners. I know what cold weather's like.

Not like that.

That was utality, man.

And of course the Chargers from the West coast, so they really couldn't go anywhere unless they flew in early to practice in those kind of conditions. Unbelievable. I mean, it was survival. I never played the game of football like that one, because when you hit that field, man, it was like, you know, you were falling on a brick, you were falling on concrete.

Along with a high stakes poker operations is screwed up, man. Yeah, with X ray glasses that can see the cars while they're on the table. There's like cameras inside the chip racks. It's it's pretty wild. I'm still getting a bunch of information on it. But maybe our next guest, we usually talked him about some of the picks here, the NFL picks, But Jason Hoffman, I guess, give us real quick your thoughts on what scro on his NBA gambling scandal and

Yeah, So it's two different things. The NBA stuff is what we talked about earlier in the season when we started this, and I said, having legalized sports betting means that they can actually find this stuff now they had agencies companies have started to partner with sportsbooks because look, Vegas doesn't want cheaters playing games, right, and they targeted They've interviewed Terry Rozier in twenty thirteen multiple times. The NBA cleared him of any wrongdoing. The FBI did not.

It's crazy. So I guess they would even get some like former athletes involved in Yeah to go to Eddie and say, hey, Eddie, would you like to play poker with I'm making up a name, you know, Michael Jordan or Charles Barkley. Oh cool, Yeah, And then they'd get these folks in there and there was I mean name. It was a very system organized sort of thing with the mob behind them.

The guy there would lure Eddie fingers in because you know, man ten thousand and a hand, yeah, yeah, day every day. But those guys were called the face cards. Yeah, and then of course you had the fish, yes, and then you had the quarterback. They were relaying all the cards to. It was bizarre, man, thevery bizarre. But anyways, we'll talk more about that. Let's get to the games, starting with tonight. Our guest is Jason Hoffin from The Inquirer at Cincinnati

Yeah.

So this game opened at two and a half and it's moved to three because of money on the Chargers, specifically because of Carson Wentz. He shared no ability to score touchdowns last week, and quite frankly, you know, the Vikings are not going to go with JJ McCarthy tonight. He still to back the emergency backup quarterback. So I'm all over the Chargers on this. Their defense is way too good for the Vikings to take advantage of anything, and they're going to have a run game that's solid.

A weird one, Jason. So the Bengals, of course played the Bears in two weeks, but this week the Bears play the lowly Ravens who are one in five, and you look at the line, it's Ravens minus six and a half over the Bears. What's going on with this one?

Yeah, so the Bears they've got lucky the last three weeks.

I'll say that they're four and too, by the way I should mention like and you know, obviously doing pretty good, but you're saying it's been some close at the end kind of weird wins.

Yeah, they called a guy off the street and he made a forty four yarder to win the game last week. You know that kind of stuff. So here's the thing. Baltimore is going to get Lamar Jackson back. They're getting very healthy this week, and they are in must They are in must win mode right now. So this game opened at four and a half when nobody knew if Lamar Jackson was going to play. He's going to play, So that's why it moved. Baltimore is one in five

Yeah, that's what I's going to ask you with because the over on this is forty nine, And I was like, how the hell is it forty nine? The Bears and the Ravens. Not if I didn't I thought Jackson was coming back next week, but hell they got Lamar back. Well, bets are off, I guess for me anyway, Yeah, for sure, all right, next game, well, seeing the Baker Mayfield Bucks at the Saints. And surprisingly, the Buck's only favored by four in this.

Game, and that's because of their performance in Detroit last week or on Monday Night football. They're also at arrest disadvantage. New Orleans obviously played on Sunday, they played on Monday. They also have to travel to New Orleans. They are zero to three the last three times they've played at

All right, speaking of another bad team, and look a matchup Jason I played in with two different teams twelve times. Right, Tennessee Titans at the Indianapolis Colts. Titans, of course, just fired their coach Callahan last week. Colts easily the surprise team of the NFL this year. Daniel Jones has been absolutely resurrected in a huge number. I think the biggest number I've seen all year Colts minus fourteen and a half, which is just astronomical in an NFL game.

Yeah, it's it's kind of a ridiculous line, to be honest. I handicapped this at ten Indianapolis minus ten, and then I saw that it opened at fourteen, and I was blown away because I'm usually within two and a half three points of whatever I handicap before the lines come out. I don't I've said this before you on your show.

All right.

Well, going to Sunday night, how about Packers at the Steelers? The the Rogers Bowl back favored by three over Aaron and Friends in the over forty five.

Yeah.

What's funny is yesterday Aaron Rodgers said, Oh, this isn't a revenge game. It's absolutely revenge. Yeah. And and no matter what he wants to say publicly, you know that he's got a fire in there now. The funny thing is Mike Tomlin is a home favorite. His teams don't do that great, especially in primetime. But green Bay is zero to three against the spread.

Isn't a way favorite.

This year when they're on the road, and I see that coming back to fruition, I think I think the Steelers might win outright, because we saw what the Bengals did to the Steelers in the second half of that first year of Flacco game. I don't think green Bay is as good as their record.

Interesting, yeah, I mean it wasn't as blown away with him when the when the Bengals played him. So yeah, I think Steve there certainly have a chance coming off a bad win or ascuming a bad loss from their perspective to the Bengals last week, I just go the Monday night game, Jason, the commanders at the Chiefs talk about resurrected Chiefs were left for dead. The franchise, the whole dynasty is over, and they've been absolutely rolling here

Yeah, give me, give me the Chiefs minus whatever number right now. What they just put on film last week. I don't know who how many he will pay attention, But Andy Reid set that game up offensively perfectly against the Raiders. I mean, he put Gardner Minshew in at the end of the third quarter because they were up so much. Andy Reid uses he used eight different types of screen to set up other screenplays and just to man dismantle that defense. And that Raiders defense, in my opinion,

All right, well the game here.

How about j e ds Jets versus the Flaccos. Because if I read one more thing, and Jason, I'm going to appeal to you, because you you were the sports editor. If I read one more thing about what toilet paper Joe Flacco uses, where Joe Flacco eats, what car he drives, I'm going to spit.

But it's a Jets come on.

Come on, man, Joe, Joe Flacco explaining how amazing it is as a family man and a dad to just sit down here and kneel by yourself and quiet. Yeah, that was the most relatable thing I ever heard.

I totally agree with that. I'm has given you a cry.

I ate alone for probably the second half of my NFL career, the last four years, I was on my living on my own, you know, nobody there, eating every meal by myself, and it's it's oddly satisfying, you know, just kind of alone with your thoughts.

It's it's when I was a single man. I used to do it all the time. Yeah, and Jason can relate it. You're you're you're still a smoker. And I used to like nothing better than to get a booth in a bar someplace where you could smoke, sit there, read a magazine, have a cigarette, drink a beer or a glass of wine or something, and have a nice cheeseburger.

Bam.

I was in a habit, uh with the with that we got jets here at Bengals and Bengals by six and a half, I'm.

Saying, yeah, so this opened it five and a half and it moved a point because Sauce Gardener is not going to play, and neither is the Ohio state wide receiver Bress this name, but the Bengals like the only the only issue here is that they are O nine and one coming off a mini. By the last ten seasons, they have not won coming out of a Thursday night game in ten years. So that's the that's the teach here. And I gotta say Zach Kill had a breakdead at some point, so why not this week?

All right? Well, I've been talking more or less all week. This is a easily one game by the Bengals. All of us here have how many times always said that, yeah, exactly, there can be some some tape getting replayed if they don't win. Hopefully they get this thing done. Jason, before we let you go a couple, I mean, there's some really good college games this weekend. Trying to think of which one I ask you about.

Let's go.

Let's go Old Miss at Oklahoma. You know Old Miss coming off. You know, they look great for three quarters against Georgia last week and then I think they got outscored seventeen to nothing in the fourth quarter. They lose. Now they have to go to Oklahoma, and I'm seeing Oklahoma is minus five and a half.

Yeah, so my playing this game is the over. Steve Sarkisian worked with Lane Kiffin, and Steve Sarkisian's offense destroyed Oklahoma in that Red River rivalry, and I gotta believe that Lane Kiffin is going to be able to scheme up some stuff to score a bunch of points. So my name playing this game is the over. But I'm also going to take old miss plus the points and to win out.

Right, All right, cool, straight, I'll take it all right with that, Jason Hoffman, we will let you go.

Thanks so much, buddy.

All right, guys, let's go make some money.

All right, Jays, thanks party, see you buddy. Stay away from those X ray glasses. And when you're at the casino.

I mean it's you know, you think. I think when people think the mob, they think of like, you know, the sixties and right, you know, even earlier in Alcolaho and yeah, yeah, all that kind of thing. But I guess it's they're very much alive and well involved in gambling.

Yes, we will discuss more, I'm sure about this in the next few days, but right now, let's discuss traffic and weather.

We're going to be so late for the concert.

We should be there by now.

Just need to make a little detour and stoff Ford Gas real quick.

I know it's all right. Back with Eddie and Rocky a little while longer.

I got to get you out of here and get joint.

A gig, yes round table show.

It is the gig economy these days. You know, man's gotta make a living right now. Though we always like to around about this time, talk to our friends at ABC. In this case it's ABC News Investigative reporter Peter Harlem Booze and Peter, what do we know about the whole this destruction of the East wing of the White House, and there's going to be pushed back on this because the deal is done.

Now.

Yeah, I think that's exactly right. The East Wing as of this afternoon is completely leveled. We see satellite JS, we've seen photos from the ground showing that the entire area is gone. Basically that at this point it has been leveled ahead of this ballroom project. And there's significant concern among historians that all of this was done without the proper approval process and the necessary kind of preservation.

I mean, let's be honest. People are our rage because it's Trump doing. I mean, people have been renovating the White House for like one hundred years. Nineteen oh two, Teddy Roosevelt renovated the West Wing or built the West Wing nineteen oh nine, Taft nineteen thirty three, Roosevelt nineteen forty eight, Harry Truman nineteen seventy, Nixon, Obama in two thousand and nine. And unless I'm looking at a wrong picture, I've seen like the overhead kind of maps of it.

Yeah, I mean that's a good point. I mean, historically there has been constant renovations and changes to the White House. This has been the case for basically every president. Something has happened to change the area. But in the past, when that has happened, it has gone through a robust process that's kind of enshrined in federal law. There's a

Peter Harlem Boose is our guest, and absolutely, you know, there's no reversing at this stage of the game. Peter, So, is there going to be pushed back on this or is it a full speed ahead here as far as construction goes.

Yeah, at this point it looks like it's full cved ahead. We're heading into a Washington DC winter. I see no reason why they'd slow down at this rate, considering this is kind of the optimal temperature to be doing this kind of project, especially ahead of the potentially cold and icy winter. And on top of that, the President has made clear that his goal is to have this project done well before he leaves office. He wants to be able to use this ballroom, enjoy this ballroom while he's

So talk to me again, Peter about the funding for it. So you're saying, in past, you know, renovations, it's been public money, but this is private money. Did I hear that correct?

That's right. So in this case, the president has said that this is going to be fully funded by himself and his donors. We know some of those donors, for example, you know, we're seeing tech companies contributing to this kind of throwing ten twenty million dollars to pay for this project. That's where it gets a bit tricky with the law. There are some historical examples, for example, White House presidential libraries are constructed using private money that are fully privately

I feel like people would be freaking out more if he was using you know, tens and hundreds of millions of dollars out of taxpayer money the way it's been done in the past, like when Obama did it O nine and that kind of thing. But it's private money. I guess, you know, what can anybody do?

That's exactly right? And again, this is unique. We don't really see this happening at the White House in terms of this kind of construction project, but Bill it has sparked real significant concern. If you ask historians, if you asked architects in the area that basically a piece of history has vanished overnight. Certainly, that's not to say that this new part of the White House is not going to be beautiful, that it's not going to be well built.

All right with that, Peter Harlem boost, we will let you go, thanks so much, thanks for having me. Thanks Peter Peter from ABC News.

I mean, I'm looking at a report right now. I've seeing in report from twenty ten that the Obama administration plans where we put in the basketball courts and tennis courts three hundred and seventy six million dollars taxpayer money.

Rock in other news, talk about demolition here. This happened in Turkey, talk about a dope. Well, this happened a couple of weeks ago in Turkey. According to the New York Post, a million dollar yacht was being launched into the water off of Zhon Dugach, Turkey.

Beautiful place this time of year.

Absolutely doulce Vento was the name of the yacht, A million dollar, eighty five foot yacht. You know, I'm sure the beautiful whoever broke a bottle of champagne and slid into the water, and everybody's happy, happy, happy. It immediately started listening to its listening to its port side before it completely sank.

Into the bottom of the ocean.

Oh my god.

The new owner, captain, and two crew members were able to jump overboard and swim to the nearby shore without injury. Ship Yard officials said the cost of the sinking was under investigation.

So, I mean, was it just they built it wrong or are they launched it too hard?

Water?

Would think that if it just slid off of it and just went bloop.

But you know, I don't know, because I've seen these before where you know, you launch them in like the angle instead of just kind of gracefully going in the waters, kind of goes and scrapes the bottom.

And that's pretty much why to think happened. It just went in wrong and just kind of ye But still though, man, God.

I mean, you got it. I mean I couldn't imagine the feeling if a you were the person owned it, or be the person that built it. Man, look at this, the fruits of my labor.

We're golden.

Gosh, have you ever owned a boat not a yacht. I see a yacht, but you're on the boat.

I never owned a boat.

I've talked about it. Being on the river and stuff would be fun, but I don't know. If I was in Florida or something like that where you could use it year round, yeah.

Maybe I would.

I think about it, but just have it being able to use it from whatever April to now.

I'm not a I gotta I'm not even a huge boat. I like him, but I have no interest at all period myself, of owning a boat. But you know, if someone has one.

Yeah, it'd be Like I said, it'd be fun, but I think it would get old after a while just going up and down the river. If, like I said, if you lived in Florida and you had access to the ocean, or even if you lived on like a key you lived up in like on Lake Erie or something, and you could, you know, have plenty of places to go, that would be cool.

If yeah, if you got to launch it, I feel like nine nine times out of ten, you're like, eh, I ain't gonna do it. But my buddy, he's got a place in Florida and he's on the inner coastal and his boat is on one of those you know, little lifts, So anyone he just walks up, hits the buttons, lowers it down in, and you go, that's that's how you do it.

That is cool because there are people in Sarasota like that where we have our timeshare down there, I mean the ultra nice places, right. You see their little boat launches exactly what you're talking about. You hit the button, drops it in the water, off you go, come back back it in, raises it up.

You're good.

But when a hurricane comes in, yeah, that's.

That's only in Florida. It's it's usually not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

Well that's uh, that's the thing with anybody I've talked to who lives in Florida and the like I said, our time share right on the coast down in Sarasota, and that last couple of hurricanes, those back to back hurricanes that came through down there, just wipe that whole little area out where all that stuff is. They're just now reopening the condo building that we are in.

And that's how long ago? Is that two years ago at least?

Yeah?

Yeah, And because they had everything got just destroyed and they were talking about and we have to get a new pop machine. It's like that was that was on the website. And apparently our soda machine doesn't work anymore, like really only and nine feet of ocean water.

Yeah, salt water is sitting here for weeks.

If it's still if it still works, I'm going to invest in that pop machine company. Good lord man? Uh with with that, Let's get you one out of here and uh and get to your gig my friend. Yes, but before we do, let's check in with traffic and weather.

What is going on
