Eddie & Rocky -- 10/30/25

Has nothing to do with her implementing the job that they wanted done and all that stuff. It was purely political. They were getting some heat, so they fired her. And you know, I made the case with Willie. You know, no one would would say her tenure as a police chief is she's been like a tough on crime kind of person.

You couldn't do that.

But I would argue that that a lot of that has to do with the plan and what the mayor.

And the city manager what implemented.

They are never there, have been, and never will be people that want people arrested, and want crime crack down on,

Well, let's talk to a guy who wrote a co wrote an article for The Inquirer Cincinnati dot com this morning. Scott Warmant always our pleasure and Scott, you heard us talking the assessment of what's going on here. Let's face it, man, it's a purely political move.

That's definitely what the chief is contending in her attorneys and her family. Thirty family and friends that showed up the city hall yesterday. They read the mayor and the council the Riot Act, saying that she's being railroaded and scapegoat the mayor. He didn't have any comment yesterday, but he's maintaining that this is a city manager's decision. Although leading up to this when we asked him like do you still have confidence in the chief, he wouldn't say

Uh.

But yeah, it's at this point, Uh, they aren't really releasing what. You know, what changed, why all of a sudden the police chief's job was not adequate?

Is that guy, and I'm talking about the mayor. Has he ever been definitive about anything. Has he ever said this is how I feel, this is what I want done, this is how it is. It's like everything is is like you got to like kind of it's it's political horse speak. It's like, well, yeah, I don't want to kind of box myself in. You can tell he's doing the mental calculation if I say this and you know that the politically it's that's the problem with this guy.

Well, in this case, it's been I mean I've had the pretty much camp out at city Hall, get the drip of information as it comes out, but it's been it's kind of frustrating trying to piece together you know, what's really going on here is because the information has come out piecemeal and at odd times. But yeah, as far as you know what's behind this, it can only speculate.

Well, we're we're talking to Scott Warman from the Inquire Cincinnatia dot com and Scott, it seems to me this was, as we've been talking about, a political move to bolster his minoral campaign, and it seems to be quite the opposite. And now people are going to take it a hard look at this guy. Where the only are you doing?

Man?

I mean it's definitely because the campaign issue now, I mean that's that's one thing that it's sure it is. I mean that's everything now. All the oxygen is directed towards uh, you know what's going to happen in the police chief and the police department.

Right because I've been seeing some of you wrote about was the yard signs and all that stuff. I must have gone home from work yesterday. I live in the downtown area now and I must have passed five or six of those supporting this area.

You take a lot of them on the I know, like there's there are a lot on the west side. I haven't been all.

Around town, but I look at the east side and yeah, I saw, like I said, half a dozen of them just around my immediate area.

Yeah.

Yeah, So from here and here though Scott just you know, not the political side of it, but now lawyers are involved, and it's going to go to court, and there's potential payouts, and there was what are we looking at here kind of set the stage of of what's going to come down the line here From a from a legal.

Standpoint, well, I mean the city is already or is already going through this with the fire chief, Chief Washington, who's suing for his dismissal. In this case, I mean, her contract with the city chief the chief contract is rather vague as far as you know what her severance. There is no reference to any severance package. And there's a question on whether she wasn't at will employee or not. So the city's contending that the city manager has the

And this is where it gets ugly too, right, because then they're they're going to go and dig up any dirt, assuming there is any of her, which I'm not sure there is, but they're going to dig up every bad thing she ever did. And that goes in the core, which means it comes into in the public. It's just a total mess. You just feel like if af Table were smarter at the start of all that. Look, he didn't want her in there, right and for political reasons.

And again you touched on it. I mean, I haven't seen any specific accusations against her, So exactly what they're looking into I can't say. I don't know. It hasn't been revealed.

And well I think we can all And Scott, you write about local politics. Of course, it's part of your job and that's what we do talk about it. But I don't care what side of the aisle you're on, Democrat, Republican. You hang somebody out to dry like they were trying to do with her, and like I said, I don't care which side you're on. It's a bad look, man, when it's that obvious.

Well, I can say there's tension now between the administration and city council, and the city council's all Democrat as well, but you had some council members like Seth Walsh, Jeff Crammerding saying they want more information on what's going on, what this investigation entails, because they say they're not getting that they were just apprized at the last minute that the administration retained an outside council, so they're paying Frost

And Scott, you touched on this too, but how do you do you see this having any palpable effect?

On the mayoral race at all. I know there's more.

You know, there's yard signs and there's chatter and all that, But is this something you think could actually sway this race.

A little bit.

I don't know if the mayor's race, I mean, that is a huge gap to overcome, like have to have got eighty two percent of the vote in the primary. But I think it might have some impact on the council races and whether any non endorsed Democrats and that's

All right, Well that's Scott Warmant. We appreciate it, man, good insight, Thanks so much.

Appreciate it. Thanks gentlemen.

Scott Warmant from The Inquirer Cincinnati. I com checked the article we're talking out about there. He does a good job of breaking it down. Whether he co word the article.

Right back with eddiean Rocky and Rocke mess downtown. How do you create that, man? How do you let that get away from you?

You got incompetent people, That's what it comes down.

You got people that are in positions such as the mayor and the city manager in particular, that have no business actually being in that position. They don't they don't want to do the job. They want to play the role of that position. And I assume take the money if that gets in and all that, and take the pictures.

But I just don't think that's a hard job.

Even mayors is a tough like kind of, you know, no frills job in the essence of it, right, It's a lot of dirty work you gotta do. And I just don't think he's the he has the disposition to do it, he's just not cut out for it.

Well, yeah, you need you need a spine for that job, and I'm not sure this fella has it, but I will tell you this. You to talk about what a tough job being mayor is.

Uh?

This is? And well, however, long ago that Charlie Lucan was mayor, and I don't remember. It could have been opening day, I don't remember. Something was going on downtown, maybe of Saint Patricks whatever. But Deb and I were down there and we're walking by an office building. It was at City Hall, but Charlie had just walked out and was walking up the sidewalk, and both Deb and

Being in a township. Trust see as I was for better part of four years. That's not exactly the funnest thing in the world either, you know what I mean. Yeah, there's a great sense of you know, being able to do things for the community. But yeah, it's not you know, you're not you're not making some incredible salary, you're not on the cover of Time magazine. It's it's a lot of that, a lot of people saying, you know, how come there's this poddle on my street and you haven't got it fixed.

In six months and blah blah blah blah.

So but yeah, I just I the biggest the biggest problem the mayor has is he does not I just feel like in any a big position, you've got to be definitive about what your role is and how you're going to implement and where you stand on things. And that's the problem with most politicians. They don't want to take a hard line stance on anything because every you know, nothing in this world, one hundred percent of people are

We are going to do what it takes.

And if we have to over police, if we bring more police, you know, then then maybe this expert says is necessary. That's where we're going to do. That's what I'm going to do. And if you don't like that, then don't vote for me.

But if you do vote for me, but you know, it's like, well, you know, we got to.

We don't want to be too hard on crime because, let's face it, his base is a it's a base that does not want there to be toughness on crime because of the demographics.

Right, We're gonna be honest about that. Okay, So so.

That but that's that Airn lies the problem, and it comes down to politics instead of what's actually right and what should be the right call one hundred percent of the time is keeping people safe.

All right?

So WILLI had been on a couple of decades at this point. Oh yeah, you know one of his protegees I think he was part of this scam.

Yeah, I think he was.

It might have been his idea, but one of his protegees orson wells, okay, he was. This is at the Mercury Theater Company decided to update that the novel that he wrote, right, War of the Worlds, and so they're going to, you know, put this on air, right, But how they did it will go down in history because they weren't exactly forthright about hey, this is fake, this is fiction, this is this and that. So here's how it all went down. He's very obviously a very famous

Wells.

Okay, so then again, you know you're talking talking about the Golden Ager radio. So Wells introduced his radio play with a spoken introduction, Okay, hey, this is who I am, this is what we're doing, followed by an announcer reading a weather report. Okay, so this is where it starts to kind of purposefully go awry. Then, seemingly abandoning the storyline, the announcer took listeners to quote the Meridian Room in

So I was like, what what the hell is going on here?

Soon an announcer was at the crash site in New Jersey, right fake, describing a Martian emerging from a large metallic cylinder. Quote good heavens, he declares, something's reeling out of the shadow like a gray snake. Now here's another one, and another one and another one. They looked like tentacles to me. They're just pouring it on, right, going on and on

Well after the fact, I because I've read a lot about that obviously over the years, and and ilays level when they confronted Wells about it after the fact, and everybody with all the panic because he was like, right at the beginning, we said it was a play. Yeah, and exactly like you said, who starts Maybe back then you listen to the something from the start to finish on the radio. But people listen to this right now

Well, and as you well know, the Federal Communications Commission investigated this because this was you know, people are losing their minds over it. Uh. They investigated the program but found no law was broken. Networks did agree to be more quote cautious in their programming in the future. Sure that, of course, you know, raised orson Wells to you know how you know, he's a household name. He goes on to direct what citizen.

Kane and all that.

So but yeah, it is harder, you know, on radio than on TV because its TV. You can put a little thing at the bottom corner and say this is a drama blah blah blah blah blah, not real. But yeah, they they made no real attempt like every if they wanted to, I'm sure, like every two minutes, it could have come on and said, now, look this is not real.

But now back to the burger.

Yeah, well, it just totally destroys what you're doing if you come in at every.

Does I'm sure the case they made.

This was all fake. Back to the show.

You can't you can't tell me that they were doing this same. We are going to freak some people. This is going to be awesome.

I think, Well, especially back then. I mean, wasn't that old man right Back then people were just starting to all get radios, right, and so you believed everything you heard on there.

Well, and of.

Course back then there was no way to double check it. If I'm listening to the radio and I hear something crazy, I pull up my phone and check Twitter, or I wait for our newscast and okay, it's not real, but there's nothing to check it.

You have nothing.

You gotta waits on the.

TV and well, the TV, of course will be talking about a Martian invasion.

Well, no, I wasn't really around either.

You get to wait for the newspaper to come out in the morning. Yeah, twelve hours from now.

Yeah, anyway, but yeah, a very iconic moment in history radio.

I thought that would be fun to share.

The only thing like that that I ever was a part of is that.

One.

It was opening day one year and it was turned out and it just so happened it was April Fool's Day, but it was one of those years when it was still well obviously it was in April first, but you never know what the weather's going to be like then, and it was one of those mornings where overnight, you get up in the morning it was going to be forty degrees maybe that day to play baseball, but overnight

You're going to have to hold it the whole.

Game, that's what everyone I said. I was like, you know, they're still gonna be They're still going to play the game though, You're going to be just double to get your beer and hot dogs. But you know, you just should probably hit the back room before you get head that way were you're hitting.

Your car before you drive downtown, use the bathroom one last time.

Yeah, And people were the Reds were a tad bit peeved at the old head man for that one, Like come on, people figured it out, what are you gonna do? So what so what?

Like that too.

It wasn't like I was sitting there going, you know what you should do, just be in your empty beer cup to throw it on the ground. They'll clean it up.

But even I'm sure as the day went on you said ha ha. But I bet there were people that went down to that game. Did you only listen in the morning You're like, well, I guess I have to. Well, he in the beer bottle, That's what I always say. That's what I obviously got a good laugh out of that, thinking that you know there are a certain percentage would have been many because it was pretty obvious because we did say, look, it's a joke.

It's April fols and but Sarah, I'm sure's people showed up there and walked in and goes, aren't there portolets or there any things that up there? And I'm sure one of the issuers are like, what the hell are you talking about?

That?

So they were talking about they were doing commercials, really well done commercials for a thing called Plummet Mall. And it was a mall that was what it says. It is dug straight down and this is correct. It was totally fake. And then people were, like he said, people were looking for it, going where the hell is this place? Because it's like it's coming soon,

Yeah again.

Yeah, so then there's still well, like Linville, they're still talking about Let's talk to Tim and Mason about it. Hey, Tim, what's going on?

Well?

I think more recently, remember all the times that Bill Cunningham during his nine o'clock nine pm show back in the day. I don't know how many times he went on the air very seriously and said that the Bozo had died, and he would do it on nights when the Bozo was not going to be in for some reason.

I remember he had truck drivers really upset. I think one truck driver drove tried to drive up to the thingation in Mount Adams and blocked blocked the streets, and I mean he really had he had nurses, he had nurses at hospitals, you know, in on it they call and yeah, he passed away. And another time he said that he'd been raped by a bear. I mean it just went on and on and on, and these truck drivers were calling up crying and upset and believed every bit of it.

Took a little too far, but funny.

Yeah, there you.

You know what, Rick, I almost said that I had to come, and if you remember the end of it, I did come. I had to come on the air because we got we're we're getting flooded with phone calls, like Eddie Fingers, isn't a hole? I mean that's that was being.

Kind, But I remember that, Yeah, it was.

We had a guy who imitated William Seattner perfectly. So we advertised it as have an exclusive interview with William Shatner, and so nobody knew except for me and the guy. The program director knew because he was going to have to know when people started calling, and the guy who knew, the guy and me. I didn't tell anybody else on the show.

None of your no.

I'm just like Bob, We're pumped up, man, we got William Shanner. This is going to be exclusive, and so we're talking and everybody's like William Shanner. And so we're talking, and so gradually I start being more and more of a an ass to him. I was like, you know, kind of like your people always said, you can't really act.

Hey real quick, because I've seen different theories on this, but what's yours. Why is there such a strong correlation between grip strength and longevity?

Now, going way back here, I was involved in the study when I was at Miami University. But it looked at grip strength and blood pressure reduction. It was fascinating, and the stronger your grip is, your your your blood pressure tense tends to respond positively, so that that would be you know, that would be you know, my guess as to why that's such a good predictor of longevity that one.

I would also think to PJ, like if if your grips strong enough, where if you're gonna fall down and you can catch your and you catch your fall instead of breaking a hip, is that maybe a factor as well?

Yeah, certain it certainly could be. It certainly could be.

You know.

In moving on push ups, the good old fashioned push up, guys, you should be able to do fifteen clean, full range push ups. Okay, that means just to the floor, your elbows are locked out at the top, your hips aren't sagging, You're not you know, no head dives or half reps. This is going to measure your your overall upper body strength, your core control, and if you can't hit fifteen, that's

And did you say ninety seconds. I feel like that's that's not that easy.

It's not that easy. It's not, but it's completely doable with you know, with some consistent training. So moving on, let's talk about your cardio. You should be able to run a mile and under ten minutes, so that's like, you know, if you're on a treadmill, that's like six miles an hour. So you don't need to be like, you know, a marathon runner or anything like that, but you but you should be able to move a sub

Damn well, let me ask you talking about you mentioned posture a little while ago, and that's that struck me. As as we know, I'm well beyond my forties, and I've caught myself lately at here in just the last couple of years, but especially as I the older I get, the more I notice it, I'll catch myself. I can't say an call anything else but an old man's stance. I'm kind of standing there with my arms hanging down like kind of like a chimp, but with my back bright.

But but Eddie, that's it's a wonderful question. And it's you know, especially with you guys. I mean, you're you're sitting in front of the desk. You know, your your hips are flex your your shoulders around it, your your head's jutted forward. You know, you're you're you're on a keyboard a lot, and that you just kind of get

Keep going.

Body weight squats sounds sounds you know, pretty easy, but you should be able to do twenty five deep body weight squass with good form. That means your heels are down, your kneels, your knees are tracking over your toes, your chest is up, and you should be able to break ninety degrees on that. That's going to evaluate your leg strength, your joint mobility, and your overall work capacity. You can't hit twenty five unbroken. Your lower body probably isn't as resilient as you think.

It is interesting.

I would think of all those effect of plank, the ninety second plank could be rough the hardest one.

I don't know. I guess maybe just for me, you.

Can do You can do that with one leg off the ground.

I know you can't.

I want to add in, Yeah, there'd be impressive. I want to add in one more that that I think is a is a good one. You should be able to get up off the floor. You know, if you're on your back with your legs straight, you should be able to get up off the floor to a standing position without using your hands. Okay, I think about that for a second. I mean that's again, it doesn't sound like it's that hard, but you'd be surprised how many people can't do it. You know, when I'm training my

Would be one for folks. If you're listening at home, try that one tonight.

That's easy, But I mean it's easy to try again. Being older. One of my best friends, he and I grew up together and we're the exact same age, and we were talking about our birthdays are weak apart and what our last birthday. I was like, how are you feeling these days? They're old man, and he's my legs are completely shot. And he's taller than Rocky. This guy's like me. He's like six five sixty six and he's, uh, he's in. My legs are shot. I just can't. You know,

Okay, Listen, Strength training properly on a good program, like two days a week can can fix most of this stuff that we're talking about. Yeah, I mean it again. If you if if you're putting at tension on your muscles, challenging your muscles as you age, you're not going to lose muscle tissue. That means you're going to have good joint stability and good joint mobility as well. You're going to be able to live a functional life, et cetera. I want to end with this if anybody wants a

Oh good, I think I can do that.

But that's not easy for a minute, That ain't Yeah, that's that's uh yeah.

If you're listening to if you're listening to this, you're like, I can do all those, you know. I got My waist to height ratio is zero point five. I can do the hang. I can knock out fifty plush ups. I can run a seven minute mile. Try the farmer's walk. Half your body weight in each hand, walk around for a minute, and don't drop the dumbbells farmers walk.

That's that's a good one to work on.

That.

That grip strength P.

Right exactly precisely would be a nice carryover effect to that.

See I've got a I've got a joke about the grip strength. I'm not going to do it.

Of course you do.

You might have. You might have some really conditioned forearms.

That guys, right, forearm incredible by what's your regimen?

A lot of reps, HI volume, a lot of reps with that, PJ. We will let you go, buddy. People want to find out more. Where can they go?

Yeah? Sure. If if you want a real plan, not just random workouts, but actual coaching, structure, accountability that actually works for men like you, I've got you covered. My coaching program is under four four dollars a day and you can find out more about it that revive fitnessystems dot com. All right, thanks so much, thanks guys, Bye bye, great, thanks.

Our good friend PJ. Street. And yeah, how how much time do you spend in the gym and day? I'm just curious. I know you'd go to the gym every day.

No, not every day. I thought you did that this time of you're three days a week. Yeah, but I usually run another day or two. But uh, I don't.

Not very long.

I mean I'm probably forty five minutes fifty minutes topped by, and that's.

Like warm up stretch everything, is that, right?

Yeah?

I try to motor through it because yeah, I'm.

You don't do cardio, you just go in and lift well, and I.

Know, but I my lifting is kind of my card I try to keep it, keep the pace up a little bit, you know, just get a little two for there and I run, like you know, usually two days a week something to some some kind of like sprinting and some kind of jogging.

Do you run on the treadmill or on the on the.

Street, on the on the street when I can if it's zero degrees, I don't hit the treadmill, Yeah, because I don't.

I don't know what you have in your gym barn or your barn gym.

I guess it's got everything necessary. No, it's just this ain't bad.

This report is spots by United Way of Greater Cincinnati.

I'm Miles Robinson with f C Cincinnati's.

At the top of the hour, we're going to be talking to our good friend Jason Hawkins, sports editor from the Inquire Cincinnati dot com.

Yes, we're NFL Vegas picks.

And can we go back to our conversation last week when we were talking about fixing sports that we're going to do our picks again.

Yeah, we haven't heard it as much as I guess this week about the whole NBA and the with a mafia card scandaling on.

Well there. We talked to our old buddy Jeremy Rosenthal the other day when you were out and he was talking that now it's kind of a burden. It's gonna in other word, just going to take a long time for this thing to play out because they're going through a burden approved kind of thing. And see how you know what all what was what and what ain't what?

Right? Gotcha?

Another news that I had the story yesterday about remember the the van that wrecked and had the monkeys on it that Oh yeah, yeah.

When they have a HEPSI.

COVID and herpes I think a pretty lethal.

Combination if you ask me.

Not good.

Not good.

These things aren't doing very well.

First of all, I sang the story like a follow up to it last night. I think they said that there was three and now they're like, oh, there may be more kind of thing. They have found them, but anyway.

They they didn't catch any of them.

I don't know.

I don't think so have had.

These people ever watched a movie before.

I agree, But they've told people like don't even don't call it if you see one, like, don't call the cops and be like, hey, we should kill it right there, kill it, which is probably easier and said the easier said than done for most people.

It's right.

I mean, don't you're gonna you're asking me to engage with a fully diseased monkey, right, crazed monkey?

Yeah, you're going to do I mean, hopefully have a gun at home and walk around here with a shovel or something.

That's what I'm saying. There's gonna be some nimrod who's going to say, I'll see you monkey outside, honey capturing.

Yes.

Anyway, along those lines, here's another story of monkey business.

Get that head?

Did you get it?

Sorry?

This is in Plano, Texas, and it's that one of those uh spirit Halloween stores, right. Really they just out of the blue, like around October first, they just pop

So the things got kind of losing his mind.

This is like for more than thirty minutes, this monkey is like climbing around, swinging around on stuff on all the displays, climbing up pillars, hanging from the ceiling, and so everyone's you know.

It's like mass chaos.

Then finally, uh they track down the owner who I guess, uh yeah, the fat and the owner and calm it down. In the owner got a hold of monkey, put its diaper on him, and walk down the store. That's the even weirder part. See now a pet monkey with a diaper.

I have never heard a monkey owning story.

End.

Well, I ain't gonna.

No, yeah, boy, you know Dave.

He had that monkey for fifteen years, a great pet, and that was it.

No, I I had And this is going to sound made up, but it's not. Down in uh West Virginia, down the down the road. It wasn't a street. It was a road from my grandma's house and up a dirt road down in a holler. That's what lived my aunt, Myrtle. Myrtle Myrtle lived there. I forget what her husband's name was.

Great name for an old aunt.

Yeah, and I think she was like my great aunt or something. I ready got that straight. But her husband had died years before. But she had a pet monkey, uh pets like it was one of those little guy like squirrel monkey or something. And that thing was mean as a snake. If it could, if it could have, like you hear chimps ripping your face off, if that monkey could have ripped her face off, it would have ripped your face off.

Wow.

And I was like, and I remember thinking I was just a little kid, which I thought a monkey, having a pet monkey was cool.

Right until you saw the thing.

Well, it looked cute when I was just sitting there. But because you want to stick your fingers in there, and then you know, play with them and stuff and yeah, pet them and and I was only about six seven years old, but I totally remember my mom going, don't you ever stick your fingers in that cage? I was like, what's a monkey?

Yeah?

Watch a Tarzan movie. Cheeta was a nice guy.

Right, So it would it bite people? Would it?

Just?

Oh yeah, if you stuck your finger there, it would bite your finger right off. Wow, it immediately went for you.

I just I mean, whether it's that or like someone that has a dog gets me unless you're using the dog or the animal for protection, which no one is using that, like a ten pound monkey for protection.

But I don't know why you would have a mean.

Well in typical stuff like that though. She could opened the cage door and it would just run right up her arm and sit on her shoulder and sitting there feeding him crackers or whatever. Yeah, but anybody else man death.

See.

Oh, I told you a story about my buddy had a parrot and the same thing and the parrot would you know, he could take the parrot out and sit on his shoulder like a pirate and stuff, and you know, beat kiss him and that type of stuff, and it would be like with him and as soon as somebody else you would get him on his finger and you'd go and try to put him close to your face. He would bite you on the nose or bite your lip.

That would that would even mark you know.

Let me well, let me tell you something very uh perhaps intoxicated head fingers. We were there late one night and because I that I'm sleeping on his floor for a little bit, there's up in Cleveland, and he had the bird out and he's like, you gotta make friends with the bird. The bird he's not mean. I was like, that bird's a mean a snake man. And he's like, no, no, be nice to the bird. Talk nice to him, blah

Goes, ah, yeah.

It sticks his little hooked beak right through the skin of my lower lip, and I'm like, and I mean blood's like weak and uh, he goes ah, well, sorry about.

That, bro.

Away.

By the way, totally related but unrelated.

I was somehow online something, was looking up something and found out there was a like a metal band, like a death metal band, that has a parrot as a lead singer.

They're called Hate Beak.

They're for around from like twenty two thousand and three to like twenty ten.

I swear to god, Hate Beak. The parrot was the lead singer.

That has to be from like Sweden, nurse something.

Yeah, I'm sure it was. I Ben looked this up.

Sadly enough, I would pay to watch that. Yeah, I would pay to watch a metal band with a parrot as a lead singer.

Here it is here. Sure I was right.

Hate Beak an American death metal band known for integrating the squawk, screeches and other sounds of an African gray parrot named Waldo, who was their lead singer.

Uh.

They did not tour in order to protect Waldo from distress. The band's music is described as loud and intense.

Well to get a couple cuts of.

That, can we can we play any other, any other? I got track, I.

Gotta I gotta check it, make sure it's because it's it's it's in the death metal grind core genre.

That's you're taking a little risk there.

So rocking other. While we're talking about animals in particular the bird is genre, a woman is suing sea World down in Orlando for fifty thousand dollars after being hit in the face by a duck while she was writing their big coaster there. Uh it's I guess it's just becoming published. It happened in March when the duck flew into the path of the roller coaster car, causing the woman to be knocked unconscious.

Damn rate of speed.

The woman's attorneys claimed that SeaWorld should have warned about the potential danger of bird strikes due to the coaster's location near a body of water.

Come away, I guess they've warned you right.

SeaWorld hasn't commented. The Makeo coaster, which this thing is at sea World, is described as the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the city, and there's a lot of them in Orlando, reaching speeds up to seventy three miles an hour. And goes to at the highest point two hundred feet. But can you imagine, dude, you're going along.

Dark hitting you at seventy months plus miles.

Per hour right in the face.

Then you can't account for something like that.

Yes, well I'm sure somebody Well if it knocks, well, there's no way it's not going to knock you out. What would you think when that happened, because you wouldn't obviously, you wouldn't see it coming all of a sudden. It's just like boom, you're out. It'd be like somebody just suck or punched you from.

Think, yes, somebody punched you, or yeah, somebody shot you with something. That would be the first thing to go through your head besides the ducks peak, because it's just.

The duck's bill like stuck on the side of your head like a cart like a Davvy Duck cartoon.

Dude, he said, ducks sticking out of your face.

His bills sticking in there like the old Davvy Duck cartoons. He would be there without his bill and be like and retover and pluck it out of your head and stick it back on his face.

You know, it was still the best by the way.

Yeah, nothing better than none, man.

None.

I've tried to get my kids. Did your kids ever watch those?

Because my kids, I mean there's not even my kids watched like like Bluey, but there wasn't. Since they've been a lot, I don't think there's been like the Saturday Morning cartoons with the Merry Melodies and uh.

Yeah, I tried to get up. I try to get them to watch that stuff and the Three Stooges and that. They kind of thought the Three Stooges was funny, but the bugs Bunny and all that stuff, well they did for one thing, they didn't get it. You kind of have to. You have to be a little older to understand the reference. So they're referencing like Frank Sinatra and stuff like that. They're like this.

Means nothing, right, Yeah, they have no idea that is.

And the coyote, well like why is that bird keep picking on that coyote? Man, I'm room for the coyote? Well everybody does, but.

Yeah, you kind of do. But you know it's happening.

You know what's going to happen in the end with the with that we check in with traffic and weather, what is going on.

Dot com jays. How we look in last week.

We were good.

We bracketed Thursday night and Monday night Sunday we went even, so we were actually up four units last week.

See that's I guess that's good. Well, I know we talked about what units means. But if you're up for I'm this dollars, is this lira?

Is it?

Your unit?

Unit is?

Your unit is unlike unlike what we might talk about in the locker room, or unit is actually just the amount of money you bet per bet come.

So whether it's.

Ten dollars, fifty dollars or for those pros out in Vegas, ten.

Thousand dollars a game. Okay, I saw that's one unit.

So you don't say, well, my ten dollars bet hit, but my twenty dollars bet. Didn't you just say that units did? Or okay, I guess.

Yeah, the ten dollars bet would be one unit. Twenty dollars bet would be a two unit bet.

See.

Now, if I gamble with my wife playing blackjack, I have my unit's not the same as hers. You know what I'm saying, I don't they don't count the same. But she's got her unit, is her own unit? Yeah that makes sense, right, HER's heh yeah yeah, if she bets more than five dollars. I look at her funny, because I was like, you don't really know. You're here to socialize, not to play cards.

Why are you betting that much? Do you know something that I don't? Or right? Or are you just you have too many glasses?

The one you have a thing with a dealer? What's going on?

Right?

Right?

All right?

Well, let's get to the business at head and talk about football. The game tonight Ravens at Fins and Ravens by seven and a half. And I don't even know if that's high enough. Guys, do you no?

I'm in the same boat. I thought this would be a ten and a half game when it opened, and it only opened at six and a half.

It's been bet up to seven and a half.

I'm all over the Ravens on this. There's a reason Vegas still has them as the favorites to win the AFC North even though they only have two wins on the season.

Here we go, all right.

And then so look the next one here we've got to talk about the Colts and the Steelers. Here, I'm seeing the Colts minus three and a half here, maybe the biggest story of the NFL this year. How good the Colts are offense? Defense, Liu hnt Roumo getting done, Hundy maybe the best offensive line. A lot of folks are talking about that now. Yeah, minus three and a half Colts.

Yeah, I'm all over the Colts. As we all know NFL and really the game of football is one of the trenches, the start ever being off. So I'm all over the Colts on this. I think they sneakily have the best overall roster there is right now in the NFL. Execution might be a little down compared to say what we've seen with the last two weeks with Kansas City, But the Colts they look like a wagon right now.

So I'm all over the Colts on that one, all right?

And how about Vikes at Lions. I'm seeing Lions by eight and a half and Vikings lose Carson Wentz, who's going to quarterback for that team?

Now, they're going to be forced to use GJ. McCarthy this week.

I think they've been hiding him because what they see is not good enough.

That's just my guess.

I'm obviously not tuned in up there, but I don't see any way the Vikings get close to the Lions in this game. I'm all over the Lions. Give me whatever the spread is.

All right, let's go out to We've got the Broncos at the Texans.

Pretty evil in here. I'm seeing minus one and a half.

I never know what to think of these real close games from a line standpoint.

Now, yeah, this is a weird one because I honestly thought this would just be a pick them, as in pick a winner, and that's it.

Minus one ten on the odds.

Just because the Texans have looked a lot better on defense and the Broncos have a really good defense. On this game, I'm all over the under. But if if I had to flip a coin, or you put a gun to my head, whatever, take a pick. I'm going to take the Texans at home to cover the one and a half.

All right.

The align on that where the over on that is a little low to me. I don't have thirty nine and a half. Does that get top?

Yeah, it's I mean it's super low for a reason. Normally you'd think the standard average in the NFL. I think this year is either forty one and a half or forty two and a half, just because that's the basic. You're going to score at least twenty points on either side. And when a game goes under, that is when it sets off alarms, like, hey, maybe pick the under because there might only be twenty seven points scored in the game.

All right, next game we're looking at is Jags at the Raiders. Jags minus three. In that game, the over forty four and three. Man, right, they're looking good forty five and a half. They're in Vegas.

This is one of those matchups that they should have sent overseas, just because we send them terrible games all the time.

In my opinion, you really need to do I agree with don't.

I don't like you these teams. And to be honest, in Oakland, they just signed Tyler Lockett, so they're basically getting the once, once upon a time.

Good Seahawks back together. The problem is they're all old.

Now.

I like the over in this game because I don't know how much defense is going to get played. But at the same time, I got to go with the Jags just because they have Trevor Lawrence and they have a very good young defense.

So all right, let's goes. You know, I'm a big one here, right Chiefs and Bills. Bills kind of need to get back on track a little bit. Thiefs started off the season the dynasty's over, and now they look pretty good here.

So the Chiefs last two weeks have been unequivocally the best offense we've seen in the NFL this year. And it's not even closed. If you look at what Andy Reid did in the screen game against the Raiders and then you look at what he did last week in the intermediate passing game.

He is humming right now. And I don't.

Think anyone, especially Buffalo's defense, can slow down the Chiefs right now. So I'm going over and I'm going Chiefs minus the points.

Wow.

Well, OK, I mean and again talking about flipping the switch, Ravens and Chiefs get hit mid season, Well, the Ravens didn't have Jackson, but now the Chiefs have flipped it. So let's talk about the Monday night game. Kind of a Yawner Cards at the Cowboys. Cowboys by two and a half.

Yeah.

I like the Cowboys just because the Cardinals aren't healthy yet. It's gonna probably be another two weeks before they're fully back. They are coming off a bye. I don't know how much it's gonna help them. The Cowboys look really solid on both sides of the ball, and Dak Prescott is playing his best season of football right now since he's been a professional. So I'm all over the Cowboys, even though once upon a time I was a Cardinal season

Wow.

All right, let's go to the big one here. Bengals Bengals, Bengals Bears at Bengals. I'm seeing Bears minus two and a half.

Yeah.

So, for all your listeners who haven't tuned in today or aren't hardcore following hour by hour Bengals news, both Trey Hendrickson and Rogan will and we're not dressed for practice today.

Joe Flacco was. He was presumably gonna throw.

But that wasn't during the media availability portion of the practice. I DeAndre Swift might look like Walter Payton this week. We saw what the Jets run game did to the Bengals.

Last week.

They had more running yards dan passing yards despite being down by two scores multiple times in the game. I don't know how the Bengals stopped the run unless their defensive front seven finally starts stepping up, which has not been the case since Week one in Cleveland. So as much as I much as I hate to say it for all of our listeners out there, I cannot in good contest take the Bengals to do anything against the

It was ridiculous.

So I'm going to go the over just because I think there's still a bunch of points scored. But I do not like the Bengals to even cover the six points that I saw earlier. Today I've seen five and a half. I've seen six and six and a half. I don't know how the Bengals keep it that close, to be honest, just because they're so bad on defense.

Wow, so maybe you have PTSD they're Jase, but it doesn't field as a quarterback and the Bears anymore. My mistake in there, I'm like tripping right now.

Yeh no, that was my fault.

My fault.

I mean the Bengals don't want to face him exactly shocking think they we would, but not at all.

Yeah, Cal Williams, I apologize.

It was my crew up, That's all good.

I was going through my I was going through my notes as we were talking, and I hit the justin field stats in front of me, and that's why said the name.

Jason.

I don't know I'm gonna be throwing this on you, but a good college game one that's you know, particular interest to me, uh Vandy at Texas, I mean Vandy seven and one. I called the Commodorees about a month ago, saw how legit they were, and they've been just putting on I mean, great displays of football at Texas, which of course is a different animal. Texas probably still has one of the better defenses in the country. I'm seeing Texas minus three and a half.

How do you see this one.

I'm all over the number on Texas here. I think they I think they're starting to get right at the right time. And Diego Pavilla is awesome of a storyline as him being so confident in himself. Is there at Bandy. They they just don't have the roster up and down.

All the way through. I don't think the hangs with Texas.

So I'm gonna take Texas minus the points, and I'm also gonna take the over that I think is gonna cover late in that game.

So I for.

No others sake, you know, if he does play hob he goes out there and plays well for future his career because he's a genuinely good guy and a guy who works tremendously hard. He's not someone who just mails it in and hope he can figure out a way to get it together.

Yeah, boy, the chopper. We're at the Hebrew location starting it's not quite November, but starting today and through November will be at the Hebrew location too. They've got like a bigger helipad there, a little easier to land.

See you about it kind of spoil because it's near the airport.

So you know, they they kind of chipped into.

And they get and they closed down air traffic from what I gather when you're approaching out there.

But there's a survey out the kind of a thing going on in regard to Halloween. Of course, it's a you gov survey talking about Americans and their belief in the supernatural, like supernatural stuff like ghosts and demons. Their survey found that forty three percent of respondents believe in demons, while forty two percent believe in psychics and thirty eight percent believe in ghosts. Now, see, I read those figures, and I would think it would be the other way around.

Because then you believe that there's nice ghosts and evil ghosts.

Right, But I mean, what constitutes a demon? I want to know. I mean, I guess it with Satan and all that stuff for you, but it's really just thing like deb.

But in like a hologram form.

I do.

I told you I visited the psychic Chris henrything that I wouldn't have I wouldn't have believed it unless I I experienced it.

I do believe it.

Well, I did get I told you I went to the Renaissance Fair a long time ago with my then girlfriend and we got our tarot cards read and the U and she read my palm and a lot of stuff she said was pretty spot on. But you don't have to be a psychic too. It wasn't like saying, you know, you know, I'm at thirty at that stage, thirty years old or whatever I was, So it's not like you have a whole lot of life history. So you can pretty much that's a pretty shallow pool.

And there was a time when I forget which which one of them was a little kid nappable age and I'm sitting in my There was a hallway that went down to the bedroom, their bedroom, and then at the end of the hallway was where I had my computer. And so take him in, put him down for his nap, blah blah blah. All right, buddy, you're good. And uh so I go and sit, uh, sit down at the computer, and I'm just futzing around there. And
