Eddie & Rocky -- 10/7/25

Yes, but there is something very cool coming here locally to the tri State America's river Roots.

Big old deal.

I feel like it's kind of like a Tall Stacks thing, right, if you were, like, you know, decades ago they had that around sound here.

Oh that was a big deal a few years alive. Yeah, exactly. Well, let's talk to someone who can clue us in on it. It's Susan Fisher, executive director of River Roots. Susan, Welcome to the program.

Hello there, thanks for having me.

So, Susan, I think that Rock was talking about tall Stacks, and I think the headline I don't know if it was one of your guys blurbs or what, but it was like tall Stacks on steroid.

That's a great way to say about it. Is it is true. For the first time in twenty years, what we call the Tall Stacks riverboats are back. Nine of them will be, and actually many of them have already arrived at the public Land and are going to help us kick off America's to fiftieth at America's River Roots Festival.

Okay, and tell us first, I guess that the start of this it's uh, it's October eighth through the twelfth.

Correct.

Yes, So the riverboats actually start cruising tomorrow morning, Wednesday, October eighth, and then on Thursday through Sunday, then ninth through the twelfth. There will be music and cuisine and all the cultural experiences, and.

They're doing Susan, they're doing how many cruises people and going various like you know, lunch, breakfast and.

Yeah.

So there are nine nine boats cruising for five days and there are over one hundred and seventy five total cruises. There's lunch, lunch, dinner, variety of sight seeing, cruises, parades

Did you say boat races?

Explain that one.

Yeah.

Sure, there's a lot of rivalry in these boats that go seven miles an hour, but we affectionately call them races. They are races, and there's lots of antics that go on between the boats. Captain Alan Bernstein, our beloved captain from BB Riverboats, will be the MC of the races. And as he says, in riverboat racing the rules are there are no rules. So I'm not sure exactly what that means. I'm excited to find out myself, but it's

They've been at each.

Other for decades and we'll see who wins on Saturday.

Well, to me, that means you could strap like a six point two liter hemming onto one of those things and do a little advantage, right, You got.

One of those old pirates can loan?

Well, I have heard there are cannons that have been authorized by the US Coast Guard, so I can't say anymore.

Yeah.

Susan Fisher, executive director of America's River Roots, is join us on the program right now.

And I guess Susan did just talk about again.

This is all in celebration of America's tour and fiftieth anniversary.

Why riverboats? What is the importance?

What?

What should people know about the culture importance importance of riverboats?

Sure, well, the the riverboats allowed Cincinnati. With the advent of the riverboats, Cincinnati was the original gateway to the West and was able to connect all the inland waterways which allowed people to transport industry, commerce, et cetera. And what America's River Roots is all about is because of those steamboats. Because of that transport, there's been a fusion of music, cuisine, and cultures as people merged in a way that they never were able to before they could

So come on and join.

What do you say a fusion of music and culture? Explain that a little bit more. I mean, I assume were we talking because of the Ohio River and then it connects to the Mississippi. Are we're talking like New Orleans kind of culture? Those are the things that are.

Coming down.

Absolutely, so, Yes, the river boats are coming from seven cities from the East and the Alleghany and the Monongahela. It comes the Three Rivers Queen from Pittsburgh, and then Louisville and Memphis, and then as you go to the Mississippi, Yes, all the way down south from New Orleans, Moline, Illinois, the quad cities just west of Chicago and Minneapolis. So all those boats have traveled between one thousand and fourteen hundred miles, some of them eight days to get here.

We're talking to Susan Fisher, executive director of the River Rodge Festival starting tomorrow actually with the different cruises around on the river boats, and Susan, I suppose there's going to be a lot of stuff on both sides of the river as far as booths being set up, various foods, drinks, whatnot, all up in.

Yes, yes, we are, we are in setup mode right now to get ready for everybody. And yeah, we've got on the cuisine front, we are looking to celebrate every nationality of cuisine of people that have settled here uh and and established their roots in the Cincinnati region. Uh so Alfio's and Fortune Dumpling, Aunt, Flora's Smoke Justice on both sides of the river, uh celebrating Southern Cajun barbecue,

So that's in Ohio.

And then similarly, on the Kentucky side, right at Festival Park, there's a two hundred plus foot tent called the Kentucky Bourbon Experience, and there's a bottle shop of really rare bottles of bourbon. There's a tasting blending area for bourbon experiences. And then with our partners the Merchant Club, there's going to be a speakeasy on one end, so that'll be fun. And then as well, up at Ovation, the new Ovation,

Susan, I'm glad you brought up Ovation. We are going to be doing Rock's not going to be up, but he's going to be on a town. I'm going to be with Jason Williams at the Ovation on the River doing our show on Thursday, and I plan on participating in the Bourbon experience whether.

Or not.

A lot, Susan. People want to find out more, where can they go?

Sure, well, we've got a great website, americasriverroots dot com that's with an S. And also if you go to Google or Apple wherever you get your apps, type in river Roots and it'll pop up the America's River Roots Festival app, which will allow you to go through the schedule of all the great music on all all four stages and heart your favorites so you don't miss them as well.

This report is sponsored by Macy's. Backstage.

Macy's wright sent Tanya, it's our Tanya day, coming up here after the news, and we were talking about what we're going to talk about, and then about five minutes later she sends back, the Bengals just got Joe Flaco, and I thought you would be like, get that's funny, she said, not seriously.

Yeah, I mean that's kind of out of the blue.

Now.

I mean, Zach Taylor, if you listen to his press conference, he left the door open. He did not commit to Jake Browning being the other star, So in your head You're like, okay, is that is you put to start Mike White, start Mark Rippons, they start Sean Clifford. But then they really Mike.

White, and they released Mike White on and they raised the ripping. I don't know the order, but yeah, then they signed Joe Flacca. My initial thought is, number one, what's been the biggest downfall of Jake Brownie? But what is he what's the worst thing he's done?

Well?

The picks, the picks, Well, Joe Flacco has six picks already. Yeah, and one hundred and sixty attempts exactly. That worries me.

And the other part that worries me is Joe Flacco's lack of mobility with a line that's not exactly uh you know Fort Knox here, right. So I applaud the organization for doing something I think a fan base that's very vested in it and is all involved in it. I think you show them we're we're doing what we can here and trying to write this ship in a division that's still winnable. So now I think it's interesting. And look, the thing you're getting in Flacco is experience.

You're talking about the experience. That's something I wanted to bring up to you yesterday and watching that Browns game on Sunday morning, I didn't realize that, Dylan Gabriel, you started, like, what sixty games in college something like that.

Next well bow next said that the record which is I believe sixty one starts in college. It was incredible, And yeah, it's funny because I remember not that long ago, it was like, you wanted a quarterback that was younger, the better because that meant you had more years in the league. Now they figured out we can't bring in someone here that is super young and it takes two and three years to develop. People just don't have the patience anymore, and they got to be good because defenses

That's what happened with Gabriel. He played for what three you sef and then Oklahoma Lahoma? Yeah remember that, Yeah.

Same thing.

Bon Nix was had been at Auburn, then he went to went to Oregon. You know, Kyler Murray had been a few Yeah. Yeah, So it's it's or I meant, Jalen Hurts have been a few places.

They've showed all the people who had been at Oklahoma and Jalen Hurts and uh and Gabriel we're two of them. Yeah, we're gonna be talking to Tanyard Warg has discussed just a moment ago. But now we have the news news Radio seven hundred w l W.

Now we are at local institution, Jennesis. All right back with Eddie and Rocky and Rocket. Is Tuesday round about this time, and we have our usual Tuesday guest.

Round about right now.

The Queen, the Queen Cincinnati Media. She wears her crown well and has worn it for years.

It's thorny, though.

She is our good friend Tanya from w CPO Night News. Tanya, a lot of a lot of stuff on the plate today, but we were well, we were just talking about the River Roots thing. I believe you guys. Let's just get the promo stuff out of the way right quick. You guys are going to be dying.

Sure. I mean, of course it's a big deal, River Roots. You know, it's it kicks off officially today. It's really the idea that this starts the celebration of what's to come next year, which is America's fiftieth birthday, and the focus is on Cincinnatisi river culture in you know, in in America, and how we were so important. We liked being important, so you know, and there's if you were we called tall stacks. Oh yeah, stack, but maybe with a little more, a little more like, you know, more stuff.

We just had we just had the executive director on and uh okay, I was going I was going to ask her about that, but nothing screams the America came out America's river routes, like having Weezer do a show. I couldn't quite figure out where some of this stuff was connected at as.

You know, yeah, you kind of think more like bluegrass would good something like that. Like, I don't know, but I think what they wanted was and I'm totally guessing here, guys, I have no clue of not spoken to one human involved with River Roots Festival. Is that My guess is they wanted to appeal to a much broader audience than for example, Tall Sacks was about just the boat Tall Sex, and so they wanted to not call it Tall Sacks again, is a guess, because they wanted to be about more

All right, Well, let's move along here to the news that you broke to me. Oh yeah, about an hour ago, I'm sitting there, we're just we're talking about talking about what we were going to talk about, and uh, all of it we got. We finished with that little text chain in about five minutes later, you sent me a text now the clear blue that just said the Bengals just got Joe Flacco. And I was like, say, what.

By the way, Joe Flacco, I played against Joe Flacco. That's how long Joe Flacco. He's forty with the Steelers.

When I was at the Steelers. He's with the Ravens.

And yeah, yeah, oh my lord, Yeah, I mean he's not Look, he's a proven winner, he's a guy who is a leader.

He knows how to handle a team, clear, you know, all those things which are very important. He still has to stay behind the same line. You know, he's not very mobile anymore. I don't know. You tell me, you guys are the sports experts, Rocky if he mobile, why not so much.

No, he's not mobile at all, which is a little bit of a concern.

Yes, oh okay, but here's the thing, Like, well, I look at it from a fan perspective, like, Okay, maybe this is good in the sense that the ants is so wide open. I mean, of all the years for us not to have Joe Burrow healthy, and you know, like, my god, you know, look at everyone's terrible, like or or love. Different variations are terrible. Why can't we just rise to the you know up, So maybe this gets us the wins that we need I don't to get

There?

You might be crazy for thinking Joe Burrow is going to come back this year? Maybe not.

But I would say with with Flacco, I feel like if you watch the Bengals games, there's open wide receivers, there's guys open and one thing Joe Flacco does well, even especially this you know part of his career is he's seen everything so and he's a quick decision maker. So he's he finds open guys. I thought he did that in the second half of the Bengals game when we played.

Him in the opening opening game of the season.

I mean, he if there's an open guy, buddy, he was hitting him. So if that's really what at the essence, what this Bengals team needs right now is, Hey, we've got guys scheme to get open.

We just can't.

Browning just you know, can't find him, can't get the ball to him. Maybe Flacco can help in that regard.

Well, like, we don't give up much for him a fist front pick. I don't think that that's tragic or anything. But the biggest really problem for me now on a personal level is I traded away on my fantasy team. I traded away T Higgins because I'm like, well, he's never catching a ball again, you know what I mean? And now look at this, this is problematic for me.

Let's listen to you Wheeling a dealer.

Yah, I know that.

Was a dumb decision by me. That was very dumb. So well that's okay, back next week. The way, no one's handing me back to you because you're kidding me. So that said, like I think it's an interesting move. I think it's something that the Brown family doesn't generally make these moves. Maybe we should all be like, huh hm, this is interesting, right, isn't it good news in some way?

Well, it's good because it shows it said the zero, but showing the fan base that you're doing whatever you can. And at the end of the day, I think people would at least respect if if an organization, a coach is trying things and trying to get things right and making some moves, and the Bengals don't make a lot of moves, and I think that's one people, that one thing that draws a lot of higher from Bengals fans. We don't trade, we don't get creative, we don't, you know,

Well, and a little listen, there's six more home games, and the Brown family certainly wants Butts in the seats, and I just I think that after I think you saw this weekend so many Bengals fans sold their seats. You saw so much blue in that stadium. There was not a It looked like an FC game, not a

And you know, things like that, you didn't miss much.

I know I did watch more than I'd like to admit. I kept getting up and like yelling at the TV and then walking away.

So yeah, well let me ask you, Tanya, switching gears again. Coming up here at four o'clock our topic. We're going to interview, Uh, a psychologists brain experts. It's a brain talking about brain about earworms. Those It just so happens that Ron and I were talking about this yesterday and this guest popped up and I was like, well, let's get that guy on to describe. Tell us how why does that happen when you get a song in your brain and you can't let go of.

Like it's a small world after all, Like you know that songs you want to sing it for, you get it started in your ear because you'll never leave, please'll never You can hear it, now, can't you? You can hear it. It's a small world. Yeah, And that's why does our brain not let that go? And more importantly,

To me, it's it's the it's the And what I'm excited to ask the doctor about is I can understand if you hear a song, especially when you haven't heard a while and like and you're into it, like oh sweet, and that song stays in your head. But a song that you haven't heard, you know, recently at all, all of a sudden that one pops in your.

Head, Like why that's that's what's going to be pretty interesting.

Yeah, I want to I'll be I'll keep listening on here what this doctor says, because this happens to me. I hate to admit an awful lot, like an awful, awful lot, and it drives me wild. What are what songs get stuck in your head? Guys?

Well various? It goes dat lately. The other day here's here's where it goes with me. One day it was the old song I think it was by Chubby Checker, the Limbo Rock, Do the limb just that one line, do the Limbo Rock? Because I heard it on an oldie station. And then the next day and that's been that way ever since losing my religion by I have no.

Idea why.

Just below you two and my bands I should never have existed, just that that beginning do do.

That's?

I don't know why that just stuck it. Yeah, I don't know.

Yeah, my song, by the way, I said yesterday. Let's tell you my song is a lynchpin by Fear Factory. Go ahead and and look it up once we're off here. But that song has been on my head for about a week.

Why do I want that stuck in my head? I don't want, I don't want to listen to that, and then.

It gets stick in my head given about four seconds, like your brain.

Your brain rejected immediately.

It's one of the isn't it interesting that? Like like if I have an earworm or something going like that, I have to turn on the radio and listen to something else and then it goes away.

Well you know what to listen to the Eddie and Rocky show. Another will stick in your brain like us two.

Talking nothing like an earworm like you two.

That's been said with that, But yes we will. We will let you go and we'll see you down the river.

Talking about Doctor Porter's going to join us to talk about why do earworms those songs that get inside your head, getting there and just stick with you for a few days.

And by the way, I had not heard of this term until yesterday. I've never heard what a earworm is. Everyone knows what it is. It's those songs, silly or otherwise, that somehow get in your brain and you just can't let them go. And as I said with Tanya, the most interesting ones are the ones where you don't actually hear the song.

It's like you either wake.

Up singing it or just somehow during the course of the day you start singing it.

How the hell that get in there?

Let's talk to Tim. Wait, Tim, what's going on? You're uh, how do you cure earworms?

Yeah?

Calling from the black Swamp of far northwestern Ohio. You're coming in loud and clear, wind Power Capital of Ohio.

Yeah.

I used to play in rock and roll bands my whole life, back in the sixties and seventies. We used to call them a.

Hook back then.

But I get those, and my remedy is I have a song that I can hum inside my brain. It's a song by Harry Chapin called Cats in the Cradle. Oh Yeah, and it will replace any repetitive type earworm you get because if you know the song, it has a long opening. It's variable, it's not a repeating thing. But I can hear that in my head and it replaces the earworm, and I go right.

To sleep, all right, Tim, Well, thanks buddy, you don't want it really happens to me? Is Christmas time, you know, because you only hear obviously, you only hear those songs around you know, maybe nine ten on after you heard it the last time. But then all of a sudden, it's the most wonderful time. That song will stick in my head every day, simply heavy, wonderful Christmas time. That's the one that seems to get stuck. Well, because I

The ones that makes sense are as I said, a song you haven't heard in a while that you really like, and then you hear it, You're like, oh wow, and then he starts singing it, and you know me, I'm always singing a song during the course of the show.

Yeah, well you're you could go anywhere from like, oh, you were talking about this a full song, but or and the next day it might be like a Virgin by Madonna is my musical tasar all over the place. Let's talk to Jason and Fairfield. Hey, Jason, real quick, what do you have?

Yeah, I was just talking about when you said earworms. I was thinking about the Star Trek movie where Checkov got the earworm in his head and now he said, it's not a song, but it's a scene that is now in my head again of the worm going into his.

I recall, I mean, thank you, Jason, I totally remember that scene you never see you never saw that the old Star Trek where the cross into his ear is in the movie or I don't remember if that's in the movie or on the TV. I think it's in rather a rather consounds about right, because I have that image burning in my head. My dad made me go see that movie back in wherever it was. It was a Star Trek like trilogy. I guess it was all three. Oh you went to that and to like marathon marathon?

Yeah, yeah, I believe it was Northgate Cinemas. Wow, watch a movie and you come out and go back and watch another movie. Maybe it wasn't three, but it was certainly two. It was a marathon.

To me, this is not an offense that protects their quarterback.

Use Higgins, you know, put it in Chase his hands, that kind of thing.

But I look at this thing, and I don't know. It's a kind of a head scratcher to me.

Pops in your brain and you can't get it out.

Can't get it out.

Don't know where it came from some of the time, but in some cases you could do anything to relieve it.

From your brain. Well, let's talk to our expert in brain health here. He's an over winning author, speaker, he's a founder of brain tap. He's been featured speaking on every major media outlet you can think of. Doctor Patrick the Porter. Welcome back to the program.

Hey, thanks for having me come here.

So Douc, what about these there? We're talking about it. What is the brain science behind this? Because Rocky and I were talking about it and the song just popped into my brain not too long ago. And the same with him, that kind of got stuck there for a few days that I hadn't even heard lately. Same with him.

Yeah, Well you think about even jingles on the radio. When you have your jingle, they want to get something that's catchy. We hired the guy that did the coke commercial and he did one for our wellness center. It was a stop smoking clinic and they did take a deep breath of America. We knew we got it when my kids were running around the.

House singing the song.

So there's a certain rhythm, a certain cadence that hijacked the brain. The Olympic system, which is the primitive brain, likes the rhythm and cadence, and then the megga which then takes the frontal lobe offline. So if you're wondering why people listening to Taylor Swift, it's because they don't have frontal lobe activity, you know, so you.

Know, well played.

So that is what you're saying, is there there are certain things that just are biologically wired in our brains that are soothing or appealing.

Is that is that kind of what you're saying?

Yeah, I mean most people don't want to admit it. But if you if you produce a movie and you don't say to the script, there's only one hundred and twenty eight different variations of a script that will work in Hollywood. If you vary from any one of those one and twenty eight, your movie will flop. Really, there's a yeah, Like if you look at every show, Doctor, that's like in Cis, somebody gets killed before the first credits,

For this interesting So, Doctor, how do you explain you know, like, over time, certain trends kind of catch on in other words, and then others kind of leave. Is there anything to that or is it still just the same hardwired thing. We just get a new appetite for something and eventually it all kind of cycles back around.

Well, what I tell people to do is go to YouTube and put in synchronizing metronomes.

This will freak you out.

This guy starts Twitter metronomes and within three minutes they're all synchronized. But after three minutes they think, they d think, and then they synchronize again. So everything cyclic, you know, like when you look at a conk shell or you know, a seashell and you see that there's they call it the Fibonacci sequence. Everything in nature has this rhythm, this cadence, this beat, this frequency. So they're actually playing into our biological system. And some when they just go off key,

Is that why most songs doc are in four to four rhythm? I mean most songs, especially rock songs, are in four to four. The occasional, uh, for some reason, I'm thinking the band, Yes, they always used to use like really weird time like thirteen seven and all kinds of stuff, But for.

The most part, four to four just agrees with our brain.

Right.

Yeah, there's actually something called the Mozart effect. They've actually studied it in science and it's Mozart did it. You know Mozart actually heard the music of the Steers, they say, because he didn't compose his orchestra. He actually just wrote it down. He heard it in his head. So I don't know. They know. Every cell of our body is actually singing a beat frequency, and our body is tuned to a certain beat frequency, and science is showing how

All right, Doctor Patrick Porter is our guest, and so let me ask you this on the other end of this scale. Doc, when you when you burn out on something, say you know you sometimes you just there's a song that man, you can't get enough of you, you want you play, you're in your are you you know, crank up the volume and then one day you just you're over it? How well, how it's.

Just like those metronomes that are sung about. For metronomes, it takes three minutes. If you watch that video, you're gonna freak out after three minutes that they disregulate. Again, same thing with our brain. Those neural when you hear something habs loss as, those neurons get fire together, wire together.

So when you.

Hear that song, you're activating those neural networks. You're getting all that neural then all the chemicals brain chemicals that are making you feel good, and then eventually your brain goes, I'm over it.

So I guess Also what you're saying is the people that make music, they're they almost they can almost look at this like a like a math problem, right like, in terms of what they know what biologically we're hardwired to so they can formulate that the beat, the certain beats and hits of a song to activate and come with a certain biol right times.

Is that kind of what you're saying exactly.

They actually have little like little snippets of music that they put together that they know work, but they put them in all different orders the songs. Like when I heard Taylor Swift's newest album, which my wife wanted to listen to for some reason, I said, that sounds like her old album. She just changed the words because it's the same beat frequency, it's the same everything, and then she puts words in it. You know that the words

You're right, wow, this is kind of like ac DC ac DC low. Their songs sound the same. That's changed the words around, changed the hook and there you go.

Is it almost right? Donca? Can you explain it as almost like addiction? You you find, you find the flow that you like, and you you just need more of it.

Yeah, because when you listen to a song, you're not listening to it to end, but then it ends, so you don't get any more of that dopamine, and dopamine is an adjutant, so then it says, I got to play it again. You're trying to capture that feeling again. That's why you can go to sporting events. They always play the same music, you know, to get you fired up, and then somebody comes up with a new one. They'll

Right. Well, uh, doctor Port, this is fascinating again. This just kind of came up randomly yesterday between just the two of us talking like talking about songs that it just recently.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, And it happens a lot of times. If you wake up in the morning, you have a you hear a song the radio, and it stays in your head all day because when you're in a certain brainwave frequency, like when you're waking up in data, which is just about just when you're waking out of sleep, that song will get stuck there because that brain wave is it's called hypernesia. But they're playing into that brainwave frequency by these beat frequencies like that four four frequency.

Well, doctor's fascinating, it really is. I Mean I never even thought about in terms of what we've just talked about here, doctor Patrick Porter. People want to find out more about you and what you all do. Where can they go?

If they go to brain tap dot com, they can hear we do ear worms. We use bind O beats and ice chronic tones to do that to get positive affirmations and suggestions into your mind, but to balance the brain. We call it brain fitness. So if you want to you want to improve your brain's ability and capacity to sleep better, think better, and perform better, just go there and say fourteen day pre trial.

Very cool. All right, thanks so much.

All right, thank you guys.

Thanks toc See, whenever we talked to doctor Porter, I always feel like I should be doing mushrooms or something.

Yeah, he's definitely a lot smarter than us, that's about question. But I think thatselfs fascinating to know that there's there's We like to think it's random and a song is just kind of created and a good song is good just because it is. But part of it is we're wired to like certain things and dislike other things. And songs that sound like complete that are organized, like complete mush we don't like, and the ones that kind of have a.

You know, it's like seeing a movie that somebody else doesn't like for whatever reason, it strikes a chord with you. But somebody else who like that movie sucked.

Yeah, But but it is.

There is a reason why certain songs are more or less universally liked, you know, Like I mean, who doesn't like you know, even though even though you may it's maybe overplayed and you've heard it a lot, but you.

Know, Shook Me All Night Long by a C d C.

Most every human being likes that because there's just something about the makeup of it and the words and everything that is pleasing to you.

It's awful. It's lovable because is awful. And there's certain things.

It was probably late seventies, early eighties going to Cheese Island, when you would walk down the left side of the fountain going back towards the Eiffel Tower, they just had on repeat the song that I did not know. And we kept going back to Cheeze Island and it was always playing in that same area. And it was years later that I found out it was a song called saber Dance. And it's like, it's kind of like a song that somebody was spitting a plat on a stick. How if I do.

Over and over?

It would repeat in that area, and it haunted me for years. That song would just brought back into my business.

That's and you know what, Dave, I've done the same thing. Sometimes if we're just hanging around the house I'll put on the on the sp from the music channel, and sometimes I just put on real low like classical music or something, and then I'll hear a song and I go I used to hear that on Bugs Bunny cartoons.

It was there a reason for a Kurt? I mean, just just kind of came out of nowhere.

Well, so back in the eighties, I was stationed over in Germany. I used to get a lot of concerts at these concert halls. Well, I saw a video where Scorpions did that song lives in the exact same venue that I used to uh.

That I used to go to.

Concert cat So I just had all these memories flogging back, and it just locked it in. I couldn't get it out.

That's where And thanks buddy. That's kind of stuff that'll you get triggered.

You get triggered, Yeah, and then you get to a point where you're like trying to get it out of your head, and then it just sticks in there. More's like if I can forget this, it's like, you know, don't think about a white elephant right now?

Right in your mind just keeps repeating it. And let's talk to Jim and Emilia. Hey, Jim, what's going on?

Oh my god, it has nothing to do with your work, talking about songs that get stuck in your head and uh, Mike, your first up, buddy, thanks for holding. What do you have?

I've got a song we tried to play and I knew the class, and there was a piano and it was a beat so different that no one could actually play it.

And it was our friend Elton with Ben in the Jets. It was like a stonpy beat continuously over and over.

Yeah, the dunk dunk dun doune.

Okay redone Jets.

Yeah yeah yeah, so different from anything, and anyone who came into class tried to play it. We go home and sleep on it, come back try to play it again. It was just so different. We just couldn't get it out of our heads.

No, and it's very catchy that that just that little riff there is super catch You can't help but like kind of nod your head to it, right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it's kind of like we done then, it's like we will rock you, right. You know how basic is that? Yeah, let's talk to Steve A Steve, what's going on, Bud?

Hey, how you fellows doing today?

Hey, I'm going way back on this one. But at least every other month this gets in my head. I can't get rid of it. And it's been from one of the album projects, Eddie, if you remember this one, And in fact, it's been in my head.

The whole time I've been on hold now.

Uh Bust full of Nuns and they go over the cliff and.

Dude, they go over the cliff and it starts over again. And at least every other month, what are we talking fifty years? That has been in my head at least every other month.

I drive wow, fifty.

Oh my god, it's going through my head right now, because they do busfulling nuns three times they go over the cliff and then it starts again.

And my business friend had that surgery and they put him on viagra to help the blood flow down there. So they put Joe Burrow on viagra. That might help the blood flow to his home and get him back a month early.

I help help him more ways than one. Yeah.

Well, seeing some of the company he keeps, I don't think he needs it. Yes, apparently, Uh, none of my business. I'd be young to be young again. Let's talk to Rob. Hey, Rob, what's going on? Bud talking about earworms?

That's a that's a great jingle to have, but I had to.

Turn it off every time it came on. He got stuck in my head all day long.

Yeah, thanks Rob, And that's that's true. What I like that? That and the four four four four? But then what that one? Yeah that's still on. That's still on, mas Lily.

Yeah, yeah, uh.

Let's talk to We got time for another one or two? Hey, Jeff and Norwood, what's going on, Bud?

What's going on?

Man?

Tell us?

So we're talking just jingles or home or songs that are stuck in our head.

Songs, jingles, things were movies, whatever you have.

Earworms, things, strongs are getting stuck in your head. Yeah, let me tell you.

Something, man.

And my wife thinks I need to see someone about Baker Street Jerry Raffery Baker Street, right.

Yeah, that saxophone.

Yep, dude, let me tell you something.

And this is what I need to see some money.

Every single day of my life. For probably the last fifteen years, that tune has entered my head.

It's crazy, man.

And I just made a Facebook post a few weeks.

Ago out to Kruger and High Park and there was a dude playing.

A saxophone and I'm sitting to watching Red Game drinking.

I'm like, you know what I'm a number like and I did. For the longest.

I didn't know the name of the song, and I couldn't think of it that night, and I hummed it to him and he was like, oh.

Yeah's Packer Street and he kicked up the sact.

Started playing it.

And I did a Facebook live video and my wife and all my friends who know that this happens to.

Me, just lost it said every day of your life for how long, dude?

Let me tell you something.

For the last fifteen years.

I bet it enters my head.

I'm not even lying.

Wow.

Man.

The worst part was the worst part is for probably ten.

Years, no one knew what I was talking about. I'm like, dude, are you kidding me?

And I would and I would do that, I hum it, I know it tune.

Well, and no one would ever get it.

Man.

And this guy was working for me.

He's like, oh, that's Bigger Street and I'm like, okay.

So then I couldn't remember it.

When that guy was.

Playing Sacon Carder and he picked right up on it and he played it phenomenally man, and people.

Just went mad and I went live with Facebook.

They knew that I go through that.

An interesting factory about that song, if I'm not mistaken, is when they were recorded that song, they originally meant for that part to be a guitar, but they didn't have like a guitar player there, so they're like, Okay, the saxophone, just just use that to fill it in and then we'll come back later and redouble it with a guitar. And then the saxophone sounded so good they kept it. There's your interesting factory to the day.

I can relate to what he's talking about. And when that song was out, I got stuck. I got sacks. You couldn't get that saxophone thing out of your head. But then they started they were using it like you know, bumper music and sporting events. You'd be watching like a Reds game and they're going to commercials and be.

Like like like Russe Limbaugh used to bump in and at us with stuff with that.

If I'm not mistake, coming up, we got our good friend Jen Styers. Oh yeah, talking about shreking in the dating world. We'll discuss what that is. But right now. We've got the news News Radio seven hundred.

Well, there's always a it seems with the with our good friends the gen Zers, there's always a new trend and in this case, it's a new trend in uh, you know what. I don't know if it's new or not, but it's fine. It's got a name.

Now, yeah, it's been kind of refurbished in being used now with a catchy name.

It's called Shreking. And here to discuss what shreking is is our good friend, our relationship expert, longtime matchmaker nowhere of all things love and relationships. Yes, our good friend Jennifer Styars, Jen, how are you?

I'm good?

I love that intro? Can we keep going?

Who can I be?

Who You're you're shreking you right now?

Jen?

I can tell I'm an older gentleman and you're just flirting with me.

Well, you know, it's funny, this is hilarious to watch that they've really like named the Shrekking because you know, they want of the statistics in the article that said, hey, these young girls are doing it. You know, they're they're dating outside of their age range because they don't want to be ghosted or whatever. But they just pulled statistics from bumble and I'm like, no, the women that are dating outside of their age range are called gold diggers. And there's that.

I was, Jenna, that's exactly what I thought.

And I'm you know, younger women are dating older men because they're established and have a lot of money.

Yeah, it's not new.

Yeah, yeah, that's that.

That is true.

You know, I I know what they're talking about here, but they've named Shreking and you know everybody's doing it. Like you guys said, it's just one of those things where you know, you you go, you get, you go for the pretty wines, you go for the ones you're attracted to, You get burned and burned and burned.

You know at some.

Point you're going to go you know what, these people aren't treating me, Well, I'm going to go for that ugly guy. Or that ugly girl and see if they treat me any better. And you know, people are people who they are, it's who they are inside. So you can't just ensure because somebody doesn't look good on the outside that they're good on the inside.

Yeah.

That's let's we'll explain. But just you kind of sumed it up there. But to put it into you know, a short phrase is that tricking is essentially you're going out with somebody who is not who you think is not as attractive as you because you want to feel better about yourself.

The internetshell in a nutshell and you think that they're going to treat you better. Yeah, yeah, I mean I think you guys haven't dated for a long time, and which is great, lucky you. But you know, the dating pool out there, especially for these online daters, I mean they think that doing something out of the norm, like going out of their age ranger, going for somebody ugly, it's going to help. You know, the dating pool is just horrible on those apps. That's bottom line, that's that

Yeah.

And I think on another time we talked Jen, I was talking about a similar but I don't think the same situation about a buddy I have and we all have that friend that has just gotten older and older and older and never gets married because they shoot too high.

You know.

I got a very successful, uh you know friend, and you know, and he's becoming, you know, getting to be an older guy, and you know he's not gonna win a beauty contest, right, but he keeps like going after these like these girls that look like the tens and the twelves, and it's like, God, just just find someone that's that you like, you get along with, that doesn't look like Ah, don't have to look like a runway model.

That that's what it's all about.

One hundred percent. And you know, for people that have been and married before and a relate a long term relationship like that, they understand that. You know, it's it is about compatibility. If you you could be with the best person and the whole the best looking person in the.

Whole world, but at the end of the day.

You don't have similar values, your lifestyles are different. You don't like doing the same things you you know, you you're not passionate about the same stuff. It's not going to work long term. So the people that have been in relationships kind of know that. And and I personally see as people get older, men and women, uh, even men that are you know, very physical, uh, and they tend to go outside of their type a little bit.

Jen Steyer is our guest, and you know, we're talking about the gold digger thing and stuff, and I think it's two different things here. Older guys go out with a younger woman because it makes them feel good about themselves being virile. And I still got it.

And the same reason you buy a ferrari not because you want a Frari, it's just because the other guy can't get one.

Correct, and the girl goes out with you because, like we said, you got money, Andrew Stable, you got a good job. You know why climb around with some guy who's going to, hey, let's go to the park again. And this guy's going to take out to a nice dinner and you know whatever.

It's one hundred percent, you know. The The thing is is the men get.

Do get sick of that.

The older men that get that have the younger women because maybe they have money and things that they want, or they're willing to give them whatever they have. But pretty soon they get sick of being used. And so you do see them they come around. I'll tell women in their fifties, I'm like, well, they're just at that age, and you know they're gonna, they're gonna if they're messing

Well, what have you found jen in terms of like dating of younger people like are do you find a lot more more now so than earlier or than before of younger women dating older men or or is it the same as it's been for the last years.

Uh, it's it's increases. I think every year. I think it gets more and more. You know, these younger women, one of the trends that you're seeing right now is they're unapologetically telling men I don't date to this is what comes you know, with the package. You know, you take me out to night's dinners. This is the minimum amount, you know, the five star restaurants. The minimum. Oh I I guys, I need to send you some stuff over

I've also heard jen that like one of the reasons women are going for older men is because, you know, let's take my parents generation. It was it was more easily affordable to have, you know, a house and a car and and all that sort of thing. People want to have that kind of life. But it's I mean,

Is that is that? Am I reading that right?

You're one hundred percent reading it right? And what's going to happen to these girls? So then they get these relationships with these older guys because they want the lifestyle they don't. They want the house, they want the clothes, they want the things that they've been you know, maybe their parents have provided for them. And then what happens though, is they start cycling through these older men for various reasons. And there's many reasons. Uh, And then they cycle through

Yeah, So on the other end of the spectrum, we keep talking about younger you know, younger women going out with older guys. What about these ladies who were talking about here, who by choice or they get into their forties and some they get divorced and the guy that leaves them for some you know, twenty six year old hotty. Are they going for younger guys or are they just you know, hey, look there, they've just they've aged out of that or is that how they roll too?

No, they've aged out of that.

You know, once somebody has.

Been married already and they've gotten kind of a baseline of relationship and what worked and what didn't work. They're they're they're tending to look for normalcy, so they know a little bit more about what they want. They're probably the most balanced age group out there. I think, you know, the fifty year old to get divorced or like, oh my god, panicking because they're in their fifties and divorce, which there's no reason too, because there's a lot of

So thanks.

Rock and I were talking about our our dating days and back in back in the day, and we were talking about this very this very thing, and I said, when when I was dating an eight to me was a six who put out. So I'll change your perspective, you know what I'm saying.

That's so funny.

I think that's every I'll be honest, I think that's any guy, right.

So, Jen, people want to find out more of about you and what it is you do and how they can hook up with the dream lover. How can they do?

Oh, you're so cute.

Jennifer stars look her up and you know it's true. Wow, the when I was dating, I never had any motive other than I thought she was attractive. I never, I don't. I never went for a woman because he had money or anything like that.

Yeah, well there's there's there's women you would date and women you would consider marian though, And.

That's a fact. That's a fact. That's the reason I'm married to my wife. There were there were there were others and uh and it was like, you know.

You couldn't see him as the mother of your kids. Correct that that applies to me.

And let's see. There you go. We we chose wisely there, grasshopper. But I just at this, at this age, I'm over it. If Dev would tell me, if I go home tonight and Dev goes, I'm out, I'd be like, see you and I'll just live. I'll just live by myself and my ass.

He'd be back out there. You'd be hitting the weights, you're getting getting, you know, getting.

All me soul in for a couple of go on about at least you would see me for a little bit and then all of a sudden, I would be hitting the wait and I would have me a twenty five year old girlfriend. I would be a check. Honestly, damn tutin with that. We check it with a traffic and weather. What's going on?

Tying for some positive visualization picture this.

All right back with Eddie and Rocky a little while longer. But before we get out here, we talked to our good buddy Alex Stone from EBC. Now, Alex haven't seen exact numbers on this and stuff, but man, apparently the air traffic console control situation like late yesterday and the day have been an absolute mess in this country.

Yeah, it's a linked to the government shutdown. This happened a lot quicker than was expected in the last big shutdown. It took like thirty four days before we got to this point of controllers not getting paid and they begin calling in sick for work because they're not getting paid.

We're tracking sick leave.

And have we had a flight pick up in sit.

Cals, Yes, And then you'll see delays that come from that. And so today the FAA is saying it does not have enough air traffic controllers for the towers in Chicago and in Nashville, and the center's handling regions in Las Vegas, Houston, and Boston, and arrivals and departures in Newark, New Jersey. So this afternoon and this evening could be rough. Last night, centers in Denver, Phoenix, and Indianapolis had shortages and there were no controllers at all in the traffic air traffic

Closed colored curnty cup on them.

So then they shut down the tower and air traffic controllers one hundred and fifty miles away in San Diego. They gave takeoff and landing clearances, but otherwise pilots were on their own, and it was like Sessna going into a tiny airport in the middle of nowhere where they had to announce their intentions and their location and when they exited the runway to tell other airplanes around them okay, it's clear, now you go, and they had to announce,

Off the Southwest eight runway, one private burbank, so.

That pretty much was telling all the other airplanes in the area stay away. I'm rolling down the runway, which passengers is pretty busy. Airport passengers were not thrilled about.

It looks scary to think about it that way, because you'd like to have somebody local that can see what's going on visually.

Right right, I'm going to run. But that's what they had to do last night, and we're going to see tonight in Chicago and Nashville and elsewhere as they're having the staffing problems, and the way Sean Duffy and the controllers have put it is that staffing has been so

No, well, just in terms of the government shut down in general, Alex are government employees paid on the first and the fifteenth?

Is that?

I actually, yeah, it changes, it's it's around there, but they've got different payment dates. I believe like next Tuesday is when money would go in, and there's gonna be a little bit from before the shutdown, so they will get a tiny paycheck. It won't be completely nothing, but then after that until there's a deal, it'll be nothing.

Oh yeah, And the reason I ask it's the seventh. You just wonder if something gets done between you know, the here today, the seventh and the fifteenth, you know, I mean, in theory, then no payments should be missed and everything everyone should be able to get along. And I'm obviously that would include a deal getting done in that amount of time though.

Yeah, well, and then you've got the like you know, direct deposit in the time that it takes. You know, just think of a company when they make changes to something that it takes a while to get the ball rolling no matter what. Now, there's a good chance the next paycheck would be messed up in some way, but they would very quickly get the money. After that, they will win, there is a deal. They will get paid

Well, there would be an easy way to end government shutdowns forever, and that would be to also dock the representatives, the senators and congressman. If you stop their payments, there would never be another government shutdown.

In his acts, Yeah, I think it would go a lot quicker at that point. I think that there are many who are saying, you know what, and while you're at it, make the air traffic controllers and the TSA officers exempt and you know, kind of like Congress, make sure that they get paid.

Yeah, and that would does make extreme sense to me, But they're the ones that passed the laws, so right, same reason why everyone runs. Every politician has always run on term limits because it makes the most sense.

But then once you get in there, they oh, I forgot about that one. I don't know.

That's not a bub I didn't know about the free money for the rest of my life.

I didn't know about all the perks and the benefits when.

Where they're like ninety five and barely awake in the halls of Congress. Yeah, uh, you know we've seen it time and again.

All right with that, Alex Stone, we will let you go, buddy, Thanks so much, you got it. Thank you our good friend to Alex Stone. And that's true.

Man.

It's like those guys, you're what who doesn't want that gig?

Right? I just wish there was some actual pressure. And I think if enough people got behind it.

Like every every constituent that one of those folks represented would be for it, and whether they wouldn't like it, they would face the hell and the wrath of their constituents. So therefore they would have to vote for something they don't like. Well, sure they'd have a million reasons. And I said, oh, we can't because of bull crap.

Well, and I think that's good. I think that's kind of come into a head too. As much as we all talk about how, you know, the evils of social media and stuff, it also people start talking about stuff like this and like, wait a minute, how come those guys aren't getting paid, but you guys are getting paid. We're not doing anything, literally doing nothing.

Yeah, it would it would stop, It would stop the politics and all that, because the end of the day, folks want their like everybody, everybody wants their paycheck.

If you're putting the work in.

Well yeah. And that's what gets me though, is they act like, well, you guys should be working. Yeah, I mean you imply. It seems they're essentially saying what you guys do is important, so you should be working even though we're not doing anything, but we're getting paid, so.

Don't even think about it exactly.

Look over there, oh man, Well the beat goes on. And with that thought, mind we check in with traffic and weather. What is going on.
