Rocky & Jason -- 12/1/25

Jason, how are you good? Rocket? You son good?

So I am fond of saying Jason that there's really only two storylines in college football. One is who's gonna make the college football playoff? And number two is which coaches are getting fired, who's getting hired, where are they going?

Who's getting hired? And two of you who's getting fired? H yeah, yeah, I combined that into one.

But that that has dominated the news cycle certainly this weekend with you know, Lane Kiffin, is he gonna go?

Is he gonna stay?

He eventually goes in a very very messy way here locally, Mark Stoops was just fired the head coach of Kentucky for the last thirteen years. That guy's a good coach man, very good coach. Penn State's still looking for a coach. They're the first ones to fire their coach and they

Guys? How are you?

Thanks?

Good?

First, let's get your thoughts on Kiffin. Yeah, there's two ways of looking at it. Number one is it's the system, right, and the system is what makes allows a coach to be able to switch schools before the season is over. And if he wants to get the job, and you got to recruit the kids, he's got to give them the job.

Now.

The other side is, God, you're already a team that is going to play for the College Football Playoff. What was your thoughts on the exit of Kiffin.

Yeah, listen, there somehow has to be a way to change the calendar for all this, to change the calendar of the portal, to change the calendar the coaching situations that like, you can't make a higher until change until until your team is eliminated, whatever, until a team you're looking for the coach is eliminated, and then the portal

I agree.

But the question is I always go back to, then, why hasn't changed you, I Jason, everybody says this system is broken, how come no one will fix it?

That's a great question. It's the same thing with I mean, bowl games have been rendered so meaningless. I mean, listen as a as a Kentucky graduate, and I know we're gonna talk Mark stops in a dead and a Kentucky football fan. Them making a Bowl has always been a big deal to me, because that's about the best you're gonna do, right, I mean, you're not gonna compete for national so maybe you do one day. Indiana is certainly doing it now, but that was always a big deal.

We all do.

But you can fix this by changing the calendar on this. I don't know why it's that hard, Like, let's wait until literally the day after the National Championship game, which is you know, middish January. Why is that so hard? And yes, I know, kids, then probably can enroll for the winner semester. Too bad, you can roll in for the next August or whatever and still can go through summer practice.

No, I agree. And then you throw on top of the broken brokenness of all this, guys, is that just these crazy buyouts? I mean, Mark Stoop's a getting thirty seven thirty seven million dollars in a buyout hockey coach, Yep, yep. When you really dig down into that part of it, too, you're just like this is like some alt reality here, like you you're able to just whack a guy and you just write him a check. I mean for thirty seven million dollars would they pay James Franklin fire him

Yeah, a little bit.

The only difference for Brian or for James Franklin was there is offset language where he got hired at Virginia Tech. So whatever he makes in Virginia Tech does come off to buy out from Penn State Mark soops doesn't have that language. They literally and that's what was negotiated. I don't know the negotiation where it wound up, but he was literally due thirty seven million dollars in a lump sum sixty days after his termination. They discussed last night.

Now they did, I think it was reported. Do you agree to like take it in installments instead of yeah, yeah, could have taken on in the next thirty days or something.

Correct, Yeah, no, city, Well he could have, but it was sixty days. Was the determination you had to pay him that amount. And that's support to me that I don't understand. You know, there's no coach valuable enough to where, man, we can't lose him, and we got to put this big But coach, I don't want to say their diamond does. And that's not fair, that's not right.

It's not but coaching.

There's a lot of competent coaches in this world who give him in the chance can do a really good job. Just because you have a guy that you believe in doesn't mean you go, well, gosh, if he leaves, we're done. No, you're probably not. I mean, this is not the days of Bear Bryant, where the old saying was he can take his in and beat urine, and he can take yurin and beat his And it's not that way. It's the Jimmy's and the Joe's. It's it's a I l anymore.

It's where we are.

That's where the money should go. And listen, if a coach wants to leave because of that or you have to fire him, you shouldn't be beholding the pay these buyouts. You simply just say, here's your contract, man, and in the last year of your contract, before you are last year, if we want to renegotiate it, re up it, we'll do it. But the buyout is this and it's minimum. And if you don't like it, go walk. I mean, Kentucky was so scared about Mark Stoops going to Texas

Yeah, But again it makes you wonder why these ads and presidents are so scared and scare of the power of these agents, of the of the Jimmy sexons in the world that say, no, you're gonna you're gonna agree to this long term buyout clause or our guy isn't coming. It's gonna take some strong person, some strong ad, to say if that's the case, then then then go fly a kite.

We'll hire the next guy.

Something's got to be done to break that that that barrier down of the buyos, because that system is not sustainable.

You can't be paying you.

Know, ten twenty thirty forty million dollars every three or four years to buy out a coach's contract.

You can't. You just can't do it.

I mean, I mean look real quickly, I mean look at Lane Kiffin for example. And I think Lane's a good coach. I think anybody that's reasonable thinks Lane's a good coach. What's Lane won? I mean, he won a national championship? Did he win anything in the NFL, and I know he was saddled to Marcus Ross so on his fall. So you're taking a guy who's not a complete proving like big time winner and and winning with that. I like Brian Kelly, what is Brian Kelly? Wont he got to a national championship?

Okay? Great?

And what does he want? And yet LSU went out on a complete lim for him with a giant buyout and you I just your most I don't understand how anybody. I can't understand how bord of trustees sign off all means either like you're holding to this deal and oh well we're on the hook for it. Yeah we gotta pay this. No, you don't stop doing it.

I think what it is skinny is as much as we like to say this system isn't sustainable, it is. And how colleges operate, they operate under a totally unrealistic set of parameters.

Usually there's a bottom line.

And here's your budget, here's how much money you have, and there's no like golden parachute out there. But these colleges that they know in the back of their.

Mind, these board of trustees, these ads, they know, you know, what if it really came down to it. We can call Jason Williams and John Williams and Richard Skinner and say, look, man, we need five we need five million bucks, and they give it to them. And so they always know in the back.

Of their head there's that bailout form. So that's why they of these things up front. And it's completely ruining the whole deal.

It is totally.

The other thing, too, is in on the on the flip side of this, you've got you've got U see and you look at a place like you see that is being patient with the guy. You know, you had Michigan State which pulled the pulled the plug out in their coach after two seasons.

It says.

The whole thing is really I don't envy in any athletic director or whatever school they're at in FBS football, because you know, you try to balance like, you know, the just how patient should you be versus you know,

Yeah.

No, I mean if it used to be coaches, you know, would get the five year contract, right, you want to get a whole recruiting class through, including like they'd red shirt guys along the way. So and that was always pretty fair, right, You get yourself your first class and you get to see them through and if you don't get it done by then, well then you just didn't.

Get it done.

But now it's literally the chass point John Smith Michigan State, who took over for the disgrace Mel Tucker, who they got lucky to get out from under the guaranteed Remember they were guaranteeing him I think seventy five mil. And somehow they got out of it because they got a chance of fireing with for cause they were lucky in that regard. And then they get John Smith. He did really good things up up in Oregon State and didn't

It's crazy and I feel like every school, and I guess good for you.

You always think that you can win it, but the reality is there's probably like one hundred and twenty eight schools that are never gonna win it. They're never gonna win it. All right, it's gonna come down to about ten.

And I always wonder this too, guys, like, at what point does the school go, Okay, we got we got to pay a buy out to a coach, we got to pay the new coach, we got to raise twenty million dollars in and I'll pay a roster.

At what point does even if you win a national title, at what point is it not worth it? What point does it cost you money and it's not actually worth it on a bottom line, on a on a spreadsheet to win a national title?

Great, great question, that great question.

Yeah, it really is a great question. Hey, listen, I'll go back to the whole, this whole and I the whole Jimmy's and Joe things is a big deal. I think Signetty's great. He'll tell you he's great, right, Yeah, just go google me. I win. But Mark Cuban's got money in that program. Mark Cuban's got a lot of money. Right again, this is not a not I don't want this to sound like a knock. This is where we are today, Texas Tech. I think Jillian McGuire is a

Yeah.

There's so many issues with college football, and it's amazing how popular it is, and there's such drama, there's such interest in it. You wonder, at what point does do people say, come on, we got a coach. A coach on a playoff team is leaving his We always, we always did.

Play the hypothetic.

What happens if there's a player that decides to opt out of a out out of a playoff game because he wants to go to the NFL.

Well, we haven't seen that yet, but we've seen a coach do it.

It's wild but everybody that the problem is. I don't know if you agree, but you know, everybody has their own. There's like too many chiefs. There's not one singular chief and head of college football. If you're Greg Sanke and you're in charge of the SEC, you're the commissioner. You only care about the SEC. You don't care about the viability of the Big Ten. You don't care at all.

I think we're going to be having these kinds of conversations.

Yeah, I'll leave you with this. I mean back to your point about what where's the breaking point? I guess I'm not there either, Because boys, I got up early Saturday morning and it was cold outside, and my front yard is I got two oak trees. I got leaves all over the place. I spent three hours raking leaves so I could come in at noon to watch the Kentucky game and to watch the Ohio State game. And I laid on my couch watching football until almost midnight, breaking for a.

Meal at one point to go to the bathroom too.

I did, I did, I got it. I got up a couple of times.

Do that maybe make a drink or two?

But yes, I mean I just was like, okay, the news were over. Now the street thorties, oh cool, got down comes Alabama Auburn. It's just house football.

The sickness, it is absolutely all three of us have its. Yeah, agreed, Well, Skinny, this has been great man. I really appreciate you. Well, I'm sure maybe we'll talk to you get on Friday. But the great stuff. And if folks want to find out, you know, any anything you have going on Local twelve, where can I tune in at?

Yeah, they tet on skid and just kind of wheel it around. And he thought, wait a minute, there's gotta be a better way of doing this. So

To fully secure the deal, he added that if his future wife has a daughter somewhere in between, that's okay with him. Okay, but you got to produce the air. I mean, this is going back to the medieval times. You want to know this is quote. You want a new car, you get a new car, not some old banger,

Why at seventy nine, you think you would have figured this out by like forty nine, you know, or I assume he's been been trying.

But I don't think hard enough. I mean with I mean, there's pictures the guy who's just I have a normal seventy nine year old looking guy, you know.

I guess my question was he actively looking for an air all this whole time or was he just kind of aloof and running around then figure, oh my god, I'm gonna die here soon.

Report sponsored by the James Cancer Hospital.

When you choose the James at Ohio State, you're selecting the team the specializes in tweeting winds.

So this is why we love the NFL, because there is so crazy and wacky. You have a chance, right and you look at last Thursday night.

The Ravens had a chance to just bury the Bengals had a chance to put them away, take control of the division. They played terror. I mean, oh, they were off. The Ravens lost that game more so than the Bengals won, I think correct. Nevertheless, you look at the Steelers last night. You know, looked pretty good in the first half, but looked completely awful. So they don't look like they want to take control of the division. The Browns are the Browns.

So you're sitting here saying, here, we are got a healthy Joe Burrow, you got a defense that's played better. Can the Bengals do this thing and join us right now to discuss is the one the only Mike Petrolia we call him track CLNS media as a jungle roar on YouTube that I check out every time I can, Trags, how are.

You, Rocky and Jason? I have had a very fulfilling Thanksgiving weekend and I mean that literally. I am filled to the gills. I can barely breathe. But I will tell you being here in the bowels of pay Corp Stadium, when you're in a concrete building like pay Corps is and you're downstairs, it feels cold. It feels like winter, it feels like December football. And I think the Cincinnati Bengals are actually very prepared now, even though they are

Guys, Okay, well we'll.

Make a case right now, Targe, to make a case for why that you think this Bengals team, despite the four win record here, can go ahead and get this thing done.

Joe Burrow and a functional defense. How often have we heard over the last couple of years with Joe Burrow healthy, if only the Bengals had a defense that was middling middle of the pack in the NFL, they would be a playoff caliber or even deep into the playoffs. There I say super Bowl caliber team. Well, now the Bengals have it. Yes, they're four and eight, they have no

You build a great case there, Trags, And you know when you look at especially too, and when you dig down into it and you look at the Ravens remaining schedule, and you look at the Steelers remaining schedule, and the Ravens and the Steelers have to play each other twice. The Ravens still have to play the Patriots and at green Bay. The Steelers still have to play at Detroit, so they both those teams schedule wise. You know, really,

Let me interject. Let me interject, because a lot of fans are going to be how many times in the next two to three four weeks, So you're going to hear if only we'd held on against the Gens, only get held on against the Bears. You can't play that game. The players can't play that game. All you can do is play the schedule ahead of you, because you'll drive yourself nuts. Of course, you should have won the Jet game.

Hiberti is our guests and track.

Let's let's dive into that defense a little more because look, as much as okay, it's great and the injection of energy this team has gotten and is going to get from Joe Burrow, the offense really hasn't been the issue.

It's been the defense. They've played better.

They've played better against the Patriots and certainly played better last week against the Ravens. As you're watching that defense, what are the things you're see or is it mechanically? Is it just guys playing better? In your opinion, why is the defense much better now than they were in September.

Josephsai and Miles Murphy with Trey Hendrickson out, those two guys have picked up the slack and they have finally responded the way I think a lot of fans and certainly the coaching staff wanted them to respond. It's been actually quite good the whole season long. A lot of the metrics would if you do a deep dive into Joseph Oo size play this year, it's been very good.

So what you're saying tracks it's been a couple of players. You mentioned the guys there that have really just stepped up versus any kind of a major scheme simplification or change.

No correct Absolutely, and I think that was kind of the message when Joe Burrow came back last week. He said there had to be accountability from the players. The players. You can scheme all you want, Burrow said, but at some point the players have got to accept responsibility. Actually, you heard that in the Steeler locker room last night. You heard Aaron Rodgers say, and I'm like, wow, he got that script right from Joe Burrow. And I think the message got through to the Bengals last week that

You mentioned Burrow there, and I thought it was interesting that Jamar Chase, he said after the after the game in the locker room and Baltimore, that the team plays with more urgency when Joe Burrows on the field. Is there an example that you could point to, like do you even see that? As you're observing and and you're at every game, you watch, you rewatch it. You see this team and you watched it for a great majority of your entire life, Like, what do you see there when when Jamar Chase says.

That, well, I see it when I see a lot more check with me. You know when when the quarterback points to his helmet. And certainly Joe Blaco did some of that. I'm not saying you didn't do any of that, but I think with Joe Burrow, because so much as pre snap read and reading the defense, I think players have to be aware that if a defense is lining up in a certain UH formation or a certain scheme, Joe Burrow is going to look in my direction and

If he isn't.

Yeah.

So the lesson is, if you're in the progression, even if you're the fourth or fifth option in the progression, you run your route hard because Burrow has the ability to get to that point where a flat maybe more so as a as an element of the fact that he hasn't been in the offense long enough, he's not going to get there.

But Burrow is awesome.

Correct, Well, that's exactly right, right.

TV here, Jason and the News has the Afton Baine woman. She's running for the Tennessee seventh Congressional District. It's a special election. I believe the election is tomorrow. She's she's out there. She's little nuts. First of all, her name is Afton. That's not a real name, aft Yn. Apologies to any listeners out there named Afton's. Uh, that's kind of made up. Secondly, not made up, but that's that's weird.

That now that in any normal time, that that is like you're done.

Like, no, no politician history of anything could say, boy, I absolutely hate Cincinnati and get on.

Not exactly a great campaign message. I hate the place I'm supposed to represent in Congress. Yeah, And and CNN asked her, Hey, do you think it was a mistake to say that?

And she goes on this rams and says, essentially a while I was a private citizen and I can say whatever I want. No, that's the point where you go, you know what I was taken out of context, I was drunk whatever, but you don't you don't say, well, yeah, that's kind.

Of what I was.

Last week I saw clip it is crazy, And there was a clip last week that's I saw in social media. She was doing an interview with MSNBC or CBS, you know, one of the one like yeah, it wasn't Fox obviously, where basically they put her on the spot for old tweets about how you know, she was saying that she wanted to defund the police, and good on the reporter because the reporter was like, that's not what I like. She totally deflected, and I'm sitting there thinking like, who, like,

And so she's also on a podcast saying she quote fantasizes about a world without police.

Yeah, so along those same lines, Yes, I don't.

Know, like, do you still believe that this is a in in like like around like Franklin and Nashville, which I know that very well. That's right, that's what you live there. That's like Indian Hill, right, that kind of thing, which I don't know. Well, I guess we'll we'll see what happens. But I would find it absolutely shocking if she wins. I I think if you're a if you're a Republican, you want her to not just get beat but like just slaughtered. I have to discouraged stuff like

Is okay? Yeah, okay? And then what why is there a special like person retire? Yeah, they has to be something like that that that I don't know. But uh, Anyway, in other news here, I saw this that this is interesting.

And reportedly, according to this he will earn thirteen million per year. Now, everything I've heard of and including Paul Feinbaum said Ole Miss would have matched that.

So it's not the it's not the money.

And I always do contend this like football coaches first of all, especially like a guy kiff he has all the money he really needs. And I will say from experience and being around these guys.

They don't don't spend money on anything any rate.

Like like they go to the facility, all their meals are paid for a dealer car. If they want to fly somewhere, that's picked up. You don't really need any money. Now, you know the wife and the kids and maybe you have a vacation home. Okay, but it's more about it's more about like a status thing. You want to say,

Kind of thing. You also wonder too, like at what point does some of that stuff slow down? I mean, I think Kurt Signetti and you can even look in your situation that you have and you think, well, if a guy like Kurt Signetti can turn in the Anna into a football school, that can pretty much be done anywhere. And that I'm not that's not hyperbole.

Yeah, but and I guess that's why schools, you know, are willing to pay so much money if you can do something, I mean, because there's coaches that that can do that, and there's maybe only one coach that can do it, that's Kurt Signetti to turn Indiana always a doormat and in terms of football in two years to uh maybe the best.

Team in the Big Ten. Yeah, pretty wild man.

I And I will say with Kiffin again, it was not about the salary. It said he doesn't think he can win, and he's told he can't win a national title at Ole Miss.

In the playoffs right now, he had a great team.

I I know, but I'm saying historically speaking, you know, I mean, ALISU has won three titles and within in recent memory with three different coaches. From just an economics standpoint, city of Louisiana is much more well funded than Mississis.

Mississippi, I think is the poorest state in the Union.

It is.

I think I think it's. What's just my son just asked me to I think it is. It's Mississippi Western in Alabamama. My son said he wrop Alabama's in there.

Yeah.

I thought this was interesting though with if if Uh, this is a clause in Keifvin's new contract.

This is funny.

If Keivin wins a national title, okay, his annual compensation would automatically increase in making the highest paid coach in the country. Nothing wrong there, But here's a surprise one. Even if he left Ole Miss before the college ball playoff,

That's just that's the power of these agents. Man, I don't know what it is.

These Jimmy sex and Is agent is so ungodly powerful. It's crazy to go to sneak that not sneak, but to actually with a straight face say, yeah, l s U. I know these money and all these things are great, but we got one more thing we want to put in there. If oll Miss wins the title, you're gonna still gonna pay a million bucks.

And that's why everybody's getting all these major buyouts because of Jimmy Sexton.

I mean, what.

Make videos on everybody or something? What's going on? I mean, but like you never, like for so long, you never heard of, like coaches having agents were never mentioned around college football, right, no other than you know, I don't know, you know so and so star college football player he's been talking to an agent. Oh oh, that's an nca by. Oh no, now it's these agents. But now it's like the coaches too. That's the only agent I know of in college football. Right, is every coach with him?

Yeah?

He's coretered the mark on all the big ones. He's in. Who's the gather guy? Oh? He plays?

You play DN for the Jaguars. Oh my god, I'm I can defensive end for the jack Wards Trace Armstrong?

Right?

Is he is he an agent?

Now?

Yeah, he's an agent. He's like a big agent. Yeah for college coaches. Yes, yes, interesting. Yeah, anyway, I was going to take a break with check some trafficking weather. How you looking?

That are on it like you just you know that they are, but you don't want to ask them, like you know, how is it? But under the conditions of animinity. Here call the show five one, three, seven, four nine, seven thousand. If if you have been on it, tell us about how it's been, what the effects are, good and bad side effects, because I mean, this is like truly a a you know, almost a culture shaping drug

So it's it's pretty insane. But a couple of stats for you.

In just over a year, the pretend a percentage of US adults taking drugs sanches ozempic will go to you, et cetera, right, what they call them jlp ones right, has doubled to twelve point four percent according to Gallop. Again, percentage of US adults taking drugs like a zempic has more than doubled to twelve percent, So just over a year ago it was around six percent.

Now it's top twelve.

Survey also reported that obesity fell from almost forty percent and twenty twenty two to thirty seven percent and twenty twenty five. And PJ always makes that point when he's on with this because we you know, we taught what

Right.

That's so if you're someone who's like, you know, twenty five twenty twenty five pounds overweight, right, you don't, you don't, you don't need to go on that stuff, right.

No, But a lot of people are especial, right, These you know, these Hollywood you know, celebrities and stars and stuff are blah blah blah. So inscription the surface says some from this venture Capitol groups revolutionary gop ones will play a huge role in society, and I'll get onto those here in a minute, but we got to call her in right now.

But my wife is on ozempic because she's got diabetes and she's lost like twenty pounds, which doesn't really matter because it's for diabetes. But yeah, it's I'm hoping it works, but you know there's there's other reasons for it.

So right, well and and and Mike h thank you good stuff and good report there, and we're gonna take some more calls here after the top of the hour, your thoughts and your experiences with a zempic.

Get too close because when they're plowing snow, they're going to be pushing a snow cloud around them. It's going to reduce visibility if you get very very close to those plow trucks. So just give them the space so that they can get the job done, get you safely where you need to go, and they can return home safely as well.

Matt ruining with ODOT trying to coach drivers with caution as we are looking at the first reel snowfall of the season tonight in Cincinnati.

Most of what ODAD District A treats and plows are interstates in Hamilton County, and while pre treating with liquid brine works elsewhere in the state, odad's Kathleen Fuller says in Hamilton County they don't pre treat with liquid brine, partly because of rain before snowfall.

Other districts in our state do do pre treatment and it is effective, but we typically get rain before we get snow, and so if that just makes it ineffective.

But Fuller says they will use rock salt as pre treatment on occasion. Matt Reeese News Radio seven hundred double LWA.

In one hundred different categories let's see another one here.

Specifically, sales of chips, baked goods, and packaged cookies per consumer fell an average of six point seven to eleven percent in the first six months on the medication.

We're looking for just your experiences good bad otherwise, because as I said earlier, I know people that are on it, but she's not something you ask them, you know, because you know you don't want to talk about it.

What do you got, hey, Hi? I started taking try zippeptide. Doctor recommended it and I was about five eleven and I was about two seventy five and very few, not of many side effects. I'm down to two twenty two right now. I'm off like blood pressure, medicine, feel great.

Nice, So so no, nothing negative at all from your standpoint.

You're joining a few things. I mean there's some gi stuff, you know, some diarrhea and that's nothing crazy, but but it's not all the time. And uh, I don't know.

For me, it was a good fit.

Uh.

Doctor said, I was the perfect example of it. And it's weird because it's like, I'm fifty eighth. I've always been incredibly active, I mean crazy active, but and also a contractor and I'm always on my feet. So when I get home, I don't want to work out and I take this stuff, you know, and it does affect your appetite. I mean, you take a couple of bites, you're done. Yeah, before I would, I'm the ultimate of clean your plate guy, and not anymore so.

You physically, physically. Don't you have the desire to keep shoveling it in? He's just okay, I'm good.

Yeah, Yeah, You're just you.

You.

You know your body, your mind just tells you you've had enough.

How long have you you've lost what do you say? Fifty three towns? How when did you start taking it over? How long a period?

Yeah?

April this year?

Wow?

Yea and it just stall off me.

Well, good for you, Mark, I appreciate your inside buddy. Thank you. Here we go.

Let's go to Larry in Livery Township. You're on one of these gop one drugs. Larry, explain, talk about your experience.

Yep, Hey, guys, how you doing. I'm on I'm on Trillicity. Uh, and Rocky, I've talked to you and Eddie before. I'm the one that died in the police academy up there.

Butler tech.

Yeah, back with the.

Massive heart attack, Yeah man, Yeah, My my doctor put me on Trullicity after going through some other medications to help reduce the inflammation around the heart in the in the chest obviously, and since I had my my open heart surgery and my heart attack May fifth of two thousand and nine, I developed plaque psoriasis as well, and with that medicine help reducing the inflammation in my body.

It has eased the pain.

On the joints where the plaxariasis has hit me, the knees and the elbows and the lower part of my back. So besides, when when I started the medicine a little little less than a year ago, I was I'm well, I'm I'm six three and I was three point fifteen and I'm down to two seventy eight now.

And with the medication doses that they give me, you.

Know, they got they got a fine game to play because of the open heart surgery. So they've been doing steady increments on my doses that I've been taking.

And obviously, like everybody else, you know, it's one shot a week that you do, and with going with the open.

Heart and everything, it's it's reduced my stamina to be able to work out like I used to.

And and it's just.

Sinking. So the drug has reduced your stamina or just when.

When when I had the heart attack, when I had weight and stuff, Yeah, yeah, that reduced my stamina to be able to work out.

So this medicine is is taking some of that inflammation off of.

My body and made it easier for me to do more activities at a longer pace.

But still nothing like it.

Was when before I had my heart attack, when I was in the police academy.

So your particular medication, it has the effect of the appetite suppressant, so the weight comes off, but also has the added of the added effect of the inflammation type drugs on your system.

Yes, that's that's correct. And and and it has knocked my appetite down. I mean, you know, it wasn't nothing for me to sit down and throw down three big Macs at a time, you know, And how I can barely eat one of them now, you know.

And I love me and big Man, don't give me wrong. Fact guy loves his big Man. And it's knocked it down. I'm not even gonna lie.

It's taking it way down on every food aspect that I have. I just don't have the desire to eat that much anymore.

That part just is that blows me away. Just how Yeah, you got a plate of food and you take a handful of bites and you're like your body just says, no, I'm full.

And that's exactly what it is.

You know, that's exactly how it plays out, you know, Turkey dinner, you know, Man, you load that plate up and not get about, you know, halfway through and it's like day gone, son, this is just my first plate or my third plate.

You know, That's that's what you feel.

You get full really quick, and you know there's you know, pros and cons to everything. But you know, in my situation with the limited weight loss that I've had and I'm grateful for and the inflammation, I can feel the difference in the inflammation in my joints and everything.

So I know it's working on that aspect.

Larry, if if you can divulge, I heard. One of the inhibiting factors of it though, is costs. It's not cheap, is that correct.

I've I've got I've got a discount you know, I use the discount cards and all that stuff, and it's still to fifty a month with what I have. Hey, if if I didn't have the discount cards, you know, it's the price on the box shows like thirteen hundred, you know, with the what it shows on the price on the box. It's like I said, you know, to fifty a month if that's what I got to pay to help me out for what I need. Brother, I'm all about it because I love calling and aggravating you.

Guess are you.

Real?

Quickly see you? How many times a day do you take it? Is it a shot? Is it a pill? Uh?

It's it's it's it's a shot. And I injected into my abdomen once a week. I do it on Sundays, so it's only one time a week.

One one time a week.

You know, you get a box of four them for the for the month and away you go.

Well, Lar, this is great stuff, buddy stuff. We're really happy for you, man, and thanks for calling the show.

Thanks Gay, I appreciate you.

Later you see a pal and the cost part of it, I mean, if if you know by the time he uses discounts and all, it's two fifty. Now I don't know how it works, Like how long can you use coupons? Can you use that for forever? Because I mean, here's the thing about this drug. It's like once you stop using it, the appetite comes back, everything comes back. I could make the argument that if it's two fifty a month and you're eating less, it probably cancels itself out

Right.

Well that the trump came out, Uh was it just a few weeks ago?

It was.

It's been within the last month in which he's worked with a couple of drug comp needs to reduce the cost of a zempic would go VI all the g LP one right, So, yeah, it'll be interesting to see two if that's kind of kicked in for people in there seeing seeing that. Now there you go, all right, here's a go ahead.

Let's go to Aurora and Tasha ty and Tyan says, you've seen a ozembic go wrong with someone?

You know?

Yeah?

Yeah, I'm a contractor here in Aurora, and I, believe it or not, I was at my doctor's office, which is next door to a job that I did, And I've seen the homeowner and talked to her and she's got a feeding tube now for the rest of her life. She's only thirty seven years old. She started she started at Zimpic's last fall and it has permanently paralyzed her stomach. Wow, I don't I didn't go I didn't go into details on you know, on the food going in. You know,

Sounds like a lawsuit to me. But yeah, big time.

He has a beating tube for life.

Now did she say?

Is that a I wouldn't say common, But is that like a side effect that it has been seen before?

At least it is a side effect that has been seen before. And she's I believe they're just trying to jump on board with some kind of class action. I'm not positive about that. That that would that would be here say if I commented on no, no, no.

And ty good stuff, thank you. I mean look that there's like anything, there's you know, plus and the minus of of everything. You got to weigh out the pluses and minuses and a lot of times, you know, the weight loss and the effect that's going to have on your heart and your ability to live healthy and has probably you.

Do it, maybe not especially a drug like this where it's like that's too good to be true. Almost kind of type of drug where years and years of dieting and diet sodas and diet this and die at that and Jim this and Jim membership that, and all of a sudden, we've got a pill. Now you don't really have to do any of that, and so there's going to be a downside. Yeah, right there, the magic pill.

Yeah, and we're all finding this out because these are still relatively new, absolutely but increasing every day. Let's go to Livery Township and talk to Jim Jim fire Away.

Yeah, we started on it last January, been on it since then. I've gone from one or two eighty five down to two twenty and dropped pants size from forty eight down to thirty six. So it's worked well for me. My wife being a nurse teachers up at a major hospital, she's talked about also being very careful on that thing with the stomach to.

Make sure that you don't increase the increase the dose.

Each too fast on it. And my son though that started he's aged thirty one. I'm sixty seven, thirty one. He started back in March with the that a wobe thing, and he started back in March. He's dropped from three fifty down to two twenty eight and wow, he's kicking March. Yeah, just in March. And I found that that the other one there, Woebe, is actually better than what I'm taking, the exiitic. But we're both taking generic brands because we're

Yeah no, and Jim great stuff again. How can you not applaud that?

You know?

I guess I wonder I still think anything I try to take as little like I haven't taken an aspirin yeah a long time, synthetic now it takes supplements, but like you know, but still in moderation.

I wonder took zero, Yeah a lot of it?

Can you?

And we'll find out? But I mean, can you take this for forty years? As far as the things I've read is that isn't it? You're supposed to at some point, you know, you do it over here. But then I think that's the tough part about it is in yeah you're like, yeah, that's that'll be interesting.

But no, this has been good.

I appreciate everyone's yeah, yeah, calling in on this. We'll maybe bring this up here at another time, but we'll move on. But first, let's check some traffic and weather.

So the software upgrades of some of these planes, it causes a bunch of delays and backups and things like that over the Thanksgiving weekend and joining run down to discuss that and if it's going to be an ongoing thing is a good friend Alex Stone from ABC oups, what was the latest with these Airbus planes and the equipment upgrades?

Yeah, so they made a lot of progress. So over the weekend, going back a bit to Friday, Airbus had an urgent safety order that they put out and at first the details were a little bit iffy on why they were ordering operators of over six thousand, eight three to twenty type aircraft globally to do an immediate software update because they said they put it that in solar radiation updata critical to flight controls. Well, that didn't sound good.

Type of airline yellow counts just everywhere. Every type of airline operated from very fuel efficient uh and the economics of these aircrafts.

And so later on Friday we learned this was because of a Jet Blue flight on October thirtieth. They were in flight when they dropped, and and not from turbulence, but it was like the pilots had told the plane to go nose down, but the pilots didn't do that.

Uh.

And in fact they were an autopilot. This was from that flight with that uh three people that like they had a bunch of injuries on board and apparently solar radiation had corrupted something in the on board computers that that caused it to defy what the pilots wanted it to do and make it go nose down, so it

Wild scene. I mean, you had people crying, you had people hollering, you at people just exploding in frustration.

Yeah, I mean, the alternative is not great if you're talking about potentially having an incident on board. You know, you think back to Boeing and there's seven thirty seven Maxes where they had one go down because of if you remember years ago, the MCAST system as it was called, and then they didn't think it would happen again, and

And now they've done it, and Alex it seems like goodness, there's a software issue or computer type of you know story, what was it year and a half ago, within the last two years, right when Southwest grounded a ton of planes because of a software issue to be clear in this case, so that was because of an archaic system, right, This isn't the case here, right.

So when the airlines do it a specific airline, it's typically because of they're on the ground computers of something isn't working right in their scheduling system or their dispatch system. That's not on the airplanes. That's their own servers. Just like you would have you know at iHeart that with a big room of servers and something doesn't go right.

Now to Jason's point though, and I think we've talked to you about this in the past, I mean, overall, there's still some archaicness to the technology of not just the planes, but the air traffic control systems that sort of thing.

Am I making that up?

Yeah?

No, I mean I think across the board, and it really shows you how newer aircraft are giant computers that

Aw it's good stuff. Brother, We appreciate We'll talk to you soon. Thank you so much.

You got it.

Thanks guys, Thanks Alex and Jason. In other news, Hans is sad out of Brazil, a teenager there in Brazil who dreamed of working with animals got mauled to death by a lion after climbing into ices zoo And did you see it, god like climbing down a tree right there, like ready for it to come down, And there's this video of it here. Oh and then even before he got all the way down the tree, the lion came up the tree, grabbed his leg and the video cut off. Troubled.

Uh.

The zoo, which is in eastern Brazil, confirmed to death uh, while while stating that the lioness would not be euthanized given that it was not the animal's fault. Oh no, right, this guy had like a fascination with lions. Yeah, and a fascination of lions.

Uh.

The zoo was was immediately it was immediately closed down again. They it says a you know, the animal was immediately evaluated by a team of zoologists and remains under continuous observation of monitoring as she experienced. Uh, she's experienced high level of stress, I imagine. So that reminds me of in some ways, maybe not similar, but in some ways that documentary I've talked about for a Grizzly Man. It's about this guy you have talked about, Timothy Treadwell.

He goes up to Alaska, you go up every year because he just loved bears and he thought of himself as this great protector of bears and all this stuff. And you think it's a documentary on bears. It's a documentary on a crazy person and they eventually kill him, and you wonder if it's some of a situation like that. All right with that, Jason, I think we are out here. It's been good with you, and I we back tomorrow. I want to thank Austin for producing. I want to
