0:00

All right, well you're here the Nation station seven hundred WLW. First couple

0:04

of days of March. It feels like almost May. It's gorgeous, us.

0:10

I don't know what's going on. I don't care. I'll take it.

0:14

I don't know what's gonna happen, but it's cool. We got doctor

0:17

Farah on cardiole just throughout on the show before going to be on after two

0:21

o'clock before Reds Baseball, talk about cardiovascular issues and health and ultra processed foods

0:26

and I'm not even sure what that is, but talking to Donna off there,

0:29

I'm getting the idea that it could be a staple diet of mine.

0:32

You got a lot of my yeah, so fairly old chips, not good,

0:36

not good cookies. Yes, and about fertility and overall health. If

0:40

you're like big, I mean, like you know big, you know what

0:44

I'm saying. Yes, And time is a very strange thing. This is

0:48

inconceivable for me when I think about it. This is about thirty eight years

0:53

ago from right about now. I remember riding my bicycle and hanging out in

1:00

the neighborhood listening to this quite loud, this being Metallica. Oh yeah,

1:04

thirty it's the thirty eighth year of Metallica. This album was giant Master of

1:11

Puppets. Yeah, this put them on the map, really, and boy

1:15

they've been going strong ever since. This is a band that has stood tested

1:19

time. And they're doing two nights right still in a number of places where

1:23

they're doing two completely different shows and mixing it up and supposed to be here

1:26

later in the I have never s I'm a Metallica fan. I there's a

1:30

you know, Nothing Else Matters was the greatest song ever, I thought,

1:34

but song. I've never seen them in concert? Have you? Yeah?

1:38

You know, of course you have. That was a stupid question, a

1:42

stupid question at all. I mean, but yeah, I've been fortunate enough

1:46

to see him a couple times. You know, it's thirty eight years since

1:49

this album, so I mean, you know what else it's been about.

1:53

When the hold on it? This is good then this good driving music like

1:57

you don't want to go too fast on that Knew like Overpass they got for

2:01

seventy four and all that just opened last part about a week ago, now

2:06

a little short of that, but it makes you want to drive fast. Yeah, but you can't do that on that new overpast, otherwise you'll be

2:12

a cautionary tale on the headline. This is definitely a good song for the

2:15

car, open the windows and just like rock it out incredible and you know

2:20

something else forty years ago and this really shook me because this is like high

2:23

school time as a kid Van Halen's nineteen eighty I mean, just to get

2:30

Alex on it. Alex, Yeah, oh my gosh, I was in

2:36

I was in junior high school when, oh my gosh, I had no

2:39

idea. I was I'd never seen a guy do a split in the air

2:45

like, so I love David Lee Roth immediately like what a showman for the

2:51

and then with Betty Eddie van Halen. I also had never seen a guitar,

2:55

a lead guitarist who smiled. It was surprising how funny had when everyone

3:00

was like so serious and rock star and Eddie Van Hellen changed the game coming

3:06

out smiling. What are you saying? That's really like not people feeling the

3:08

music or the kind of feeling it, but it looks like they're in pain

3:12

or struggling. Yea. Now like usually when you saw lead guitars, Jimmy

3:15

Page made these crazy faces and yeah, we allegedly. Yes, let's put

3:22

that in there. I just thought Eddie Van Helen changed the flavor, changed

3:28

the the vibe of a front guitar player, lead guitar guy. And he

3:32

did everything. That's another thing that's just sick about the talent. I mean,

3:37

he did like everything, He played everything and changed the way people attacked

3:43

the guitar for one of a better way to use it. And of course

3:45

he's got that kid Wolfe who's out there and on the road coming up this

3:50

summer as well. Child Valerie Burtonellie. I honestly, this album brings me

3:55

so forty years it's gonna be this year. We were little kids. I

4:00

was riding a skateboard going to the putt putt working listening to this in wondering

4:04

how come I didn't have a hot for teacher hot teacher like that. That's

4:08

just crazy, It's unbelievable. Last night Chack Ludwig had James or Peene on.

4:14

He's in Indianapolis the Combine. We will hear some clips from that.

4:17

A little bit later. Reds in action in the Desert Cactus League, getting

4:21

ready and they take on the Royals. I think first pitch three, oh,

4:26

five pregame with Devity arm Brewster to thirty five We are here until then,

4:30

sort of the warm up act. There's something else that's it's hard to

4:33

get you, and we'll have some clips from him. But there's a guy

4:35

that really it was I don't even know how to explain this, and I

4:41

know on a weekend show it's weird to go back a number of days,

4:44

but it was monumental to me. I remember watching it had to have been

4:47

the Carson Show when I was probably and seeing Richard Lewis show up there and

4:54

then regularly on The Letterman Show, and I was like, what does go

5:00

going on? What is this guy? And I was like a kinship.

5:03

It was like I was his bastard child, actually, I mean Richard Lewis,

5:10

And now I feel like, in truth, we're all doomed and he's

5:14

we lost him this well, we didn't lose him. I mean he died. I got to be clear. He was He was seventy six years old,

5:19

which does not seem old at all now. That heart attack. Heart

5:25

attack, I guess in a sleep, which I guess if you're going to

5:27

go, yeah, I mean that would be a comfortable way to go.

5:30

I would think in your bed to sleep, And yeah, I mean when

5:34

I go that, that sounds perfectly fine to me. But Larry David,

5:41

oh do you have that? Pulled up? His quote? I didn't know

5:44

we were getting into this right now, but I was just like, oh,

5:46

can I stuff up? I know, but like I have to look for the quote because my well, Larry David, if you don't know,

5:51

it was one of the co creators or Seinfeld and also a curb your enthusiasm,

5:56

which now, and this is what's sick too. It's been on like

5:59

twenty years. They took some bit of a time in between, but the

6:01

New eleven or twelve final season, yes, I think, yeah, and

6:04

in the midst of all that, and yeah, Larry David had great things

6:09

to say. They've known each other forever. Oh, they've been friends back

6:12

in the day. I mean forever and ever. And part of the statement

6:15

from Larry David on Richard Lewis was quote he had the rare combination of being

6:20

the funniest person and also the sweetest. But today he made me sob and

6:26

for that I'll never forgive him. That's a hard thing. It's like losing

6:29

a brother. Yeah, it's tough. I mean, just a funny,

6:32

funny, funny comedian and I thought, you know, he didn't play character.

6:36

None of them really played characters on Curb. Your Enthusiasts outline and yes,

6:41

it's just an outline. And in the later seasons they didn't even have

6:46

a script. In fact, Larry David talked about how they would come go

6:50

on the set and be ready to record, you know, ready to video,

6:54

and they didn't even know what they were doing. And that's an amazing

6:58

thing, feeding off of each other and having that it's them but not really

7:02

them in the scenario that they created, which is that they are the kings

7:06

of yes ding and when you know in comedy yes and is to keep the

7:12

conversation going you yes and it And so if I were to say, Sterling,

7:17

you look really nice today, except for I don't. I don't love

7:20

your classes are really yeah? Yes, that's terrible, right and what about

7:27

you? And on and on it goes and Larry and Richard as partners in

7:34

that were just as good as it gets. Absolutely so, if you weren't

7:39

into the Curb show, if you didn't enjoy and the other show with Jamie

7:45

Lee Curtis Forever Ago Too, was a Network TV show that they did together.

7:47

I mean, he had the wife Cheryl Hines on Curb Your Enthusiasts.

7:51

And the other thing was that Anything But Love, which was a series that

7:56

was on I guess early nineties, late eighties, somewhere in there. I

7:58

don't even know exactly what of them was. Yeah, I don't know that

8:01

that was sort of a taste in that because I was always like, there's a Halloween woman, But that's where my mind was. Jamie Lee Curtis came

8:07

out and said she credits Richard Lewis for her sobriety, which is an awesome

8:11

thing to help somebody with you he I don't interrupt, I got to say

8:15

this about him. He was real, wide open about a lot of people

8:18

try to hide their issues. Yeah, and it wasn't just a gag.

8:22

He came out and talked about, you know, the issue of sobriety and

8:24

trying to get clean. He was in that movie Drunks, which he helped

8:26

put. Oh god, that was so good and heartbreaking. If you haven't

8:31

seen that with Richard Lewis, Drunks, Holy smokes, and you can see

8:35

because well, you know, I'm an old movie I don't feel like I'm

8:39

spoiling no spoiler alert, but how far gone in such a short amount of

8:46

time, and he had lived that life over and over again. There was

8:50

something I just wanted to say about it. But he was also, Oh,

8:52

I didn't know he was living with Parkinson's. You were saying how open

8:56

it was. Yeah, So I didn't know that that was, did you.

9:01

It wasn't an announcement, and I didn't know if he was going to

9:03

continue or not. And he took some time off, and that came after

9:07

he was supposed to be on with me again. I'd had him on a

9:09

time or two when I worked in Columbus and lived up there. He went to Ohio State. He was a big Ohio State fan and would come regularly

9:16

and he was scheduled beyond it. And time is weird because it seemed like it was just recently, but it's like twenty one. I think he was

9:22

supposed to be on and they called him, were like, he can't make

9:24

it. He's got this real bad back issue. They had a couple of surgeries, He's really sorry, et cetera. And then shortly after he came

9:31

out with the parkinson I missed that that announcement but still functional until the end.

9:37

Yeah, I mean right, that's just what both of us were so

9:41

such big like text each other because I was I'm still like thinking about it,

9:45

I'm like really bummed out, and it was, uh, it's just

9:48

one of those people that it was like, Oh, I see, you

9:52

can find the funny in the misery. You can find the funny in the

9:56

pain and make it more relatable and get through it. And that's what I

9:58

reckock, I think probably related to in a different sense than maybe say with

10:03

Richard Pryor, who did it in a different way, or George Carlin in

10:05

a different way and so on. And I put him in that category of

10:09

people super Dave, you like love Super Dave, And he was also on

10:15

the show, so I mean, you know, just great comedians. And

10:18

I think we mentioned Richard Pryor. He he is up there with one of

10:22

my all time Dave Chappelle is up there, but Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy

10:28

Holy smokes for sure, and a Chappelle course just up the road doing those

10:31

shows at his firehouse that he bought in Yellow Springs regularly. I think I'm

10:35

trying to think of who always here just a recently friend of mine. She

10:37

was like, we gotta go, we gotta go, Yeah, we gotta go to that. We should be huge, would be great. Let's take

10:43

a bring and come back and enough of death talk. But it was about

10:46

people. We love it to these people that have made you laugh and given

10:50

you such amazing joy and material and everything else. One of those line parades

10:56

in New Orleans, like you go sad on the way you drop them off, you say goodbye, then you celebrate on the way out of the cemetery.

11:03

Right, So that's sort of like what this is without the cool band and dancing, because we're in a room with the window into a hallway on

11:09

a beautiful day in the Triste reds in action later in the desert, Stirling

11:13

Don and Dye back together again on the other side. We want to know,

11:16

because I want to know how dangerous or how safe do you think the

11:20

city of Cincinnati is in going downtown. We're coming into warm weather season.

11:24

FC Cincinnati back at it at TQ. Well this week you're coming back home.

11:28

You know. They were in Chicago to a drawl a Soldier field last

11:33

night. Tons of other hoops action last night too, which we'll touch on

11:37

a little bit later this afternoon. In the midst of all that though,

11:39

back in MLS, reds in the desert. But they'll have opening day and

11:43

about what four weeks time, so give me take the end of the month,

11:48

right, So all this is happening, warm weather is here. You

11:50

think of the banks, You think o tr you think all the places to

11:54

go, warm weather, patios, ice, cold adult beverages. Were close

11:58

to the end of this there, but now in the news bubbling up are

12:01

these incidents of kids attagging in mass other people getting jumped. How safe,

12:07

how dangerous? How concerned are you? Is a business owner, someone who

12:11

works downtown, someone more and more living downtown and the idea coming down with

12:15

the wife, the kids, the husband, the boyfriend, whatever, to

12:18

games and to enjoy some good act I mean, think of all the concerts and everything. I mean, that is an amazing thing. How busy downtown

12:24

is that? Not every city this size has that much happening. So we

12:28

want to talk a little bit about safety and security in the city of Cincinnati.

12:31

Sterling, Donna d coming back. We appreciate you being here. Five

12:35

point three seven four nine seven eight hundred. The big one you can talk

12:37

13:11

Wondering about the safety downtown and how concerns you are about it bubbling up

13:16

news here they're about people getting jumped, to kid's marauding, running a wild

13:22

other issues. They're trying to do some community based stuff and interventions to prevent

13:26

that. Five point three seven eight hundred the big one. You can talk

13:30

back the iHeart Radio app. We're kind of curious, does that affect your

13:33

idea about coming downtown with the family for FC Cincinnati for the Reds to grab

13:37

food for I mean pick a festival. We are all about that in the

13:41

tri State. Of course, in the weather like this, however premature the

13:45

warm weather is it kind of feels like that makes you want to go down

13:50

and enjoy the city and the river front and all those great things that they

13:54

have beautiful restaurants and ride your bike whatever cap down at the riverfront and they

14:01

have like beautiful parks and swings and it's just so fun. And then so

14:05

many shows and then OTR. I mean, and you know, forget about

14:09

the street car. I mean there's that too, which helps you get around.

14:11

Yeah. I got to tell you my friend Jeff, we call him Big Daddy in this. In this, yeah, he got jumped. He

14:20

got jumped coming home from uh it was somebody's birthday or anniversary. He was

14:24

out to dinner. He had a few drinks and he was coming home and

14:30

got hit in the back of the head and knocked down and robbed and by

14:35

two people and they don't know who it is. And you know, he

14:39

they broke ribs and it dislocated his shoulder. Yeah, I mean, I've

14:43

talked to him, and in fact, I talked to him on Friday,

14:46

and he's doing better. But he's got a ways to go. It's a

14:48

serious it's a terrible thing. Well, he's a big dude. I like

14:52

it. Normally expect him to be a target like that. But you get

14:56

a couple of people and they can sneak up on you and hit you from

14:58

behind. You know, this makes it scared for like you know, and

15:01

I don't want to live in fear. And I don't think any that does

15:05

any good anyway. You can't worry about stuff that hasn't happened to you.

15:07

But still it puts in my head a little bit like geez, make it

15:13

a little bit like that. I go downtown. Do you think no less

15:16

likely to be alone downtown? I definitely would watch my back. I would

15:20

have somebody with me, for sure, because if somebody was with Jeff,

15:24

they wouldn't have messed with And he's a big guy. He's a big man

15:30

that he's okay. I'm glad too, and I hope he continues to feel

15:33

better. We know you're probably listening, so good to hear you. Let's

15:35

get to Anderson and Earl with Stirling and Donnade on seven hundred WLW. What

15:39

about downtown? How often do you go? How concerned are you about the

15:41

safety situation, or maybe it's just what happens in an urban center. I'm

15:46

a combat better in the Vietnam and back in the sixties, and today the

15:52

world's changed so much. There are no laws for anything, and all these

15:56

people in the city are going to have these meetings and that beings. You're

16:00

not going to never disarm the criminal. The criminal element out there is there,

16:06

and it's there in America. This is the American way. Now. You're not safe anywhere, Sterling, anywhere you go. You've got to carry

16:12

con seal a weapon to protect yourself and your family, and you've got to

16:18

you've got to be prepared for the unexpected. It's a damn chain you have

16:25

to do something like that. But today's society, the laws don't work.

16:29

The people and the kids know that they don't work, and they can do

16:33

whatever they want and they're not going to be disciplined. It's not going to

16:37

happen because the political system isn't letting it happen. The parents have no control

16:42

over the kids, and the kids have no control over their parents. So

16:47

the American way today is it's going to get worse. And for one thing,

16:52

we don't need another music and you in the city of Statia, Codey

16:55

Island. I feel we have enough. I stay away from downtown because no,

17:00

I don't feel it safe. It's a way there. It's so expensive

17:03

that I just I just take care of my own business. But I see

17:07

all these kids sudden, I have no doubt. Good for we appreciate it.

17:15

And some of those kids certainly do need their backside. Oh I don't

17:18

think you appreciate that. You know. What I think he mentioned is that

17:22

they're no laws. Certainly there are. They're catching kids, but an adults,

17:27

but they do, let you know, let them out with a slap

17:30

on the wrist. I mean, if somebody it is aggravating as all get

17:34

out. One of the problems is there's a lot of people on this planet

17:37

now, back back when he you know, thirty years. We just keep

17:41

making certainly get I are doing our part, that's true, one of us.

17:47

We can blame everybody else at so obviously the more the people, the

17:52

less we can house these people. I mean, our jails are full.

17:56

It's our jails and prisons are full. I think it's it's a tough thing

18:00

with kids because most parents are like, no, it wasn't that bad.

18:03

They want to rehabilitate, They want to get them on the right track.

18:06

You don't want to house them immediately and then get them with other criminals who

18:10

then give them basically their associate's degree and criminal behavior. But here's the other

18:15

side. If they're doing violent crimes, if they're physically assaulting people, yes,

18:18

then by god, they need to be locked up and kept off the

18:21

street because they are a predator, a problem, and a danger, and

18:25

that's an issue, and hopefully they can get their mind right on that.

18:29

I don't know about everybody carrying a firearm. It's good to get training,

18:34

it's good to know how to handle your weapon. I think people are too

18:37

quick to the gun, legally carrying or otherwise. I mean, you know

18:41

how many stories in the last year we heard about people being shot in the

18:45

face. The poor woman who had a car accident who's been in the news,

18:48

still recovering right now in town. And then some dude I think downtown

18:52

the other day got shot in the face too. So all of these things

18:55

are going on. But I think there's a problem with people too quick to

19:00

get to the weapon. Well, I no, absolutely, and I wish

19:03

I think people would wish sometimes they never had it, because even reasonable people,

19:08

if you get stuck on the seventy one and you're there for hours,

19:14

you could you can almost get out of your reason mind. And if somebody

19:18

like messes with you during that moment of loss of control and you have a

19:25

weapon around, that's not a good recipe. No, So here's got a

19:29

couple questions here, and we got already a Meredith and and Kathy a life

19:32

when the women called Larry and oh there's your chance to get interactive after your

19:34

twelve thirty report one or not? Do you feel safe and comfortable downtown?

19:37

How concerned are you? What could be done to make you feel safer?

19:41

If you've got kids, if you've had someone in the family that's been in

19:45

the criminal justice system, kind of curious about how that turnaround is or if

19:48

you've dealt with being a victim, how aggravated and much of a circumstance and

19:53

that experience did you see with those kids being turned right back out in REHBA?

19:56

A lot of questions, but really, whatever whatever you want on this

20:00

topic, because I really also want to know is if this has happened to

20:03

you lately, have you been confronted with somebody that's, you know, tried

20:10

to step to you for a second. Shady characters everywhere, people steel stuff

20:12

in here. Let's not even get into that. Sorry, Sandy Collins has

20:17

got news. We're a bit late. More Sterling, Donnadie coming back. We appreciate you being here on a Sunday afternoon, seven four nine, eight

21:52

the office in midday. Right now in Cincinnati, it is warming up right

21:57

now, waiting for the temperature to respond. Fifty six degrees right now in

22:03

Cincinnati. The latest on the Texas wildfire. Strong winds make it even harder.

22:08

The smoke House Creek fire has scorched over one point one million acres across

22:15

the Texas Panhandle and into Oklahoma. More than five hundred structures destroyed in the

22:19

last six days. The fires only about fifteen percent contained, and they've got

22:23

critical fire conditions expected to continue Red Flag mornings going all the way through the

22:29

Central Plains. Yes, it could get even bigger. An arms man tried

22:33

to rob the Hollywood Casino last night in Lawrenceburg, sending gamblers running in fear,

22:37

forcing the casino to shut down for a time. The suspect's name hasn't

22:41

been released. He was found outside the casino in a nearby wooded area.

22:45

In the NBA, Lebron James, the first NBA player in history to score

22:49

forty thousand regular season points the milestone Saturday night in LA during the first half

22:55

of the Lakers game against the Nuggets over twenty three thousand those points when he

23:00

was with Cleveland and where he is still the team's lifetime leading scorer. And

23:04

the Reds update out of goodyear, just twenty five days left until opening Day.

23:10

It was the Rockies ten and the Reds four. This afternoon three oh

23:15

five, we'll start again with the Kansas City Royals. Our next update at

23:21

one o'clock. I'm Sandy Collins News Radio seven hundred WLW iHeartRadio Earth is here

23:26

with a new way to enjoy it. Struck out five times he hamberg this

23:29

one. This ball is launched tie and very deep the right field and way

23:33

out of here, Kelly David Cruz slams one over the three nineties sign and

23:40

right and I mean way beyond it, half way up the hill fields left

23:44

red even though it's not here, it's in the desert. Reds and Royals

23:48

Atlantic Crews getting going deep. God, they take on the Royals at their

23:55

place in Surprise Stadium in Surprise, Arizona. It probably won't rain because it's

24:00

the desert. We'll have to wait and see though. Three oh five, first pitch, two thirty five. Get you ready for it? You get

24:04

with the pregame show Stirling and Donna here on a Sunday afternoon, getting you

24:08

through it. I'm talking a little bit about the dangers of I guess an

24:14

urban center. But there's crime everywhere, even in rural areas now more than

24:17

ever. Yeah, but it's sometimes when you hear a friend that gets jumped

24:22

it after dinner and like my friend big Daddy, did it hits home a

24:26

little bit horse does when you know somebody that's it had happened, because otherwise

24:30

it's just just like yeah, whatever, it's just crime. Right, but

24:33

it becomes very tangible. You can see it, feel it, touch it,

24:37

and you go, oh, holy crap. When you know somebody else is trying to heal up from taking a beating, yeah, you know,

24:41

or being assaulted and ripped off. It's terrible. You know What's interesting?

24:45

Also, it was wearing nowhere it plays. And by the way, thank

24:48

you for all the emails and messages about this. Here's what I understand about

24:52

the weed issue in Ohio. Right now. You can have it, you

24:55

can smoke it, use it, eat it. Whatever it is that people do with it. I wouldn't know, of course, wholesome and innocent,

25:00

but you can't sell it. You can't buy it unless you got a medical

25:03

card, So I don't know. I guess you can grow it, but how fast does that happen. It is the biggest cash crop in the bluegrass,

25:08

but it's not really legal there either. It's very overwhelming, and Portland

25:14

started out like that in California where you had to get a medical card.

25:17

You had to get a doctor's note to get a medical card to go to the weeeze store. That's as you did. Yeah, Now it's all legal

25:23

in Colorado and California, and everything else because it's such a huge money maker.

25:27

I'm sure that's what's gonna happen here. We've heard some of these sort

25:30

of shops and strip shopping centers getting robbed and so forth for the derivatives that

25:36

are legal now. Concerned about packaging for kids. But some of the other

25:40

stuff that goes along with that is in other parts of the country like Portland,

25:42

Oregon, who's gotten tons of abuse just because of what they've done with

25:47

the decriminalization of some of the hard drugs, and major problems with people on

25:52

the street, vagrants, aggressive panhandling, breaking into stores, loredoing out front,

25:56

and is pretty scary. I was there not too long ago, and

26:00

I'm like, oh my god, it's pretty scary. It kind of reminds

26:03

you of Cincinnati. But dangerous. Well, Cincinnati's not more dangerous. Yeah,

26:08

yeah, it's more dangerous than Cincinnati. There not here more dangerous than

26:14

Andy. They're trying to get away from the hard drugs. Now they're deciding

26:18

that maybe that der criminalization was a bad idea. Yeah, they need to

26:22

reverse that, I think. Yeah, So anybody thinking that way here needs

26:25

to back off. Yes, How safe do you feel downtown? How much

26:29

of a concern, is it. Have you changed in your idea of what

26:33

you're gonna do when it comes to going downtown in the warm weather months, even though here we are the first week in March, it feels like warm

26:40

weather months. Let's get to Drimtown, Kentucky. We got Larry and Kathy

26:44

and Meredith and room for you seven four nine, seven thousand, eight hundred

26:48

the Big One. Hang on a second here, I don't know if that

26:51

phone's working right or not. Let's get to Meredith first and then we'll see

26:55

if Larry and Kathy are there too. Meredith, how are you were Stirling and downade on the Big One? What's up? Hey? I enjoy your

27:02

show every weekend. Yeah, I'm Meredith, Meredith Burgess, the actor that

27:15

that's that's my last name. Uh. I enjoy you two guys together,

27:22

and uh, you have a great show. I want to say that there's

27:30

this and I'm trying to be as polite as possible, but there's a certain

27:40

element downtown that I don't believe in politeness And I don't know what their problem

27:52

is. Who's they but the element? Who's the element? What's the element?

28:00

He's trying to be polite here, I'm trying to be polite African African

28:07

Americans. Oh, so you're saying that black folks are not nice to you.

28:14

I got mugged and that's not good. And yeah, and they beat

28:22

me up and it reminds me of a Clint Eastwood movie. Mm hmm in

28:33

the scene. In the scene, the judge says, hang them, hang

28:40

them high. Right. Well, if it's a hanging offense, maybe we

28:44

can worry about that. Here's my question. I'm just gonna say. Let

28:48

me, let me just say this. You need to second. I understand

28:52

your frustration if you were victimized, but identifying somehow all people who look a

28:57

certain way because you had a problem with someone would be like everyone of dark

29:02

skin hating everyone white, or having a problem with everyone white because of their

29:06

ancestors being enslaved. That's about as brilliant a thought in my observation. Or

29:11

Hall. It's tough when you get when you get victimized, of course it

29:15

is. But you're right, and Meredith, that was stuff to listen to.

29:19

I'm glad you liked the show. We appreciate you listening. But it's

29:26

hard. It's hard to talk to anybody who does these broad stereotypes of one

29:30

group. It's just not accurate. First of all, everybody drives a certain

29:34

car who hit me when I had a crash. They don't know how to

29:38

drive right. These people are thieves. I mean, you can't, you

29:41

can't. You can't do it because it doesn't you don't sound educated when you

29:45

do it. I understand if if somebody did jumped me and it was a

29:48

certain type of a person, I might feel that way for a minute,

29:52

but then let that go because it doesn't serve you and it doesn't serve anybody

29:56

else. Yeah, it's a problem. Kathy and Blue was Stirling and Donade

30:00

on the Big One. Hey what about downtown and safety? How safe do

30:03

you feel? Have you had problems? I've had no problems, but I

30:08

don't feel safe going down there. And I really am said because I'm a

30:14

sixty nine year old grandma and I want to take my kids the place that's

30:18

like the taff and Disney on Ice, but I'm scared, and my kids

30:23

don't want me bringing the grand kids. So I'm very sad about what's happening

30:30

in our city. Kathy, let me ask you, when was the last

30:33

time you were downtown. I was downtown to see at the Taft about three

30:41

weeks two weeks ago with the kids, and what happened, what happened,

30:45

what happened and made you so scared, just everything leading up. But my

30:52

brother actually dropped us off and picked us up because I just didn't feel safe

30:57

parking in the garages. I've got two little kids with me, you know,

31:02

I just don't feel safe going downtown. I'm not going to put my

31:06

grand kits at rips. So you didn't have a problem. It's just the

31:10

perception of the danger is really what landtown. Yeah, see, what can

31:15

the city do? This is the thing that they're dealing with is the fact

31:19

that there is a blanket of fear in some cases when really like I can

31:25

remember riding my bike when I lived in East Wannut Hills and worked in Mount Adams. I would ride my bike down and around the hill and be downtown

31:30

all over the place, And statistically speaking, this is like the mid to

31:33

late nineties. At the time, it was more dangerous than the now.

31:37

But it seems like more people are scared now, and I don't know how

31:40

much of that is publicity. Kathy, We appreciate the call thank you by

31:44

the way. Uh, but that perception is a reality for people. Yeah,

31:48

that's the same. Perception is reality. And you know, I was

31:52

just downtown and I'm not afraid to go. I love going downtown. I

31:56

actually think that it's fun and it's will and as a single woman, I'm

32:00

good. I I had my boss in town and we ended up going to

32:06

Ruby's and you know, Fountain Square, and we were walked up and through

32:08

Fountain Square. Yeah, there's going to be always because it's a downtown area,

32:13

some shady element. But I never felt threatened at all. We do

32:17

read these stories in the news, but it really is everywhere it is.

32:22

I mean in a small town it doesn't even matter. Hell, you can

32:24

be on the road now and have people like popping off a couple of rounds

32:29

at you because they're dissatisfied. I hate that people live with fear that they

32:32

want to take Maybe maybe I would feel a little different if I had two

32:36

grandkids that I was taking two That would that would cause my you know,

32:39

my alertness to go up by a thousand. But it's good. They dropped

32:44

her off and then they were yeah, did that's how I would have to do? I need a driver too, but not because I'm scared. It's

32:49

just because I'm lazy and don't want to deal with parking and everything. I'll

32:52

do it absolutely. That perceptions tremendous families for that's it. One technother call.

32:58

Let's take one more five, one, three, seven, four nine, one thousand, eight hundred. Larry. If he's still, let's get

33:01

Larry. Let's get to him. See if he's working. We got Jim

33:05

and Matt and job and where do the women go? Donnade's here, she counts. I don't mean that in a bad way, was Sterling on the

33:09

big one of Donnade. Larry, what's up at your turn? Yeah?

33:13

Thank you? Yeah. I'll only go downtown if it's during the day and

33:21

if there's valet parking or the establishment has her own parking lot. And uh,

33:28

forty years ago in Clifton, I know this isn't downtown, but I

33:30

got hit over the head with a yeah and yeah. You know to me,

33:37

it's just not safe. He's not worth it. You never forget it.

33:40

No, it is. When you get hit, jumped, pushed,

33:45

you always it's like a It's ingrained in your mus muscles and tendons and everything.

33:53

I mean, once that happens, it is hard to escape that thought

33:57

it's always going to be there. And then that's that fly fight or fly

34:00

light scenario and then you're like, well, I don't want to deal with it. What could they do to change your perspective to get you back engaged

34:06

in wanting to come down? Because there it's really more vibrant in a lot of ways than it's been in a long time. But this is an element

34:10

that uh, I think is fairly common just about anywhere right about now?

34:15

Can they can they woo you in some way? Larry? Could you would

34:19

you like some looing? I want some everybody wants wooed a little woo woo.

34:30

It's a good it's a good worse. It's also an adult beverage.

34:34

But I don't know anything, but Larry, I do agree about the valet.

34:37

I don't like going places downtown because parking is so crazy. You gotta

34:40

have valet. Yeah, that's tough. I don't know. I don't know

34:45

what they could do, you know. I mean, it would get ridiculous

34:50

if there was a placement on every corner. But maybe that's what's needed for

34:54

now, more visibility and more constitutions. Now we both agreed with that too,

35:00

Thanks Larry. Because if you're doing if you're doing damage to people and

35:05

scarring people and attacking penalty, the penalty, and you can't just have a

35:07

revolving door. That's the thing to go in and you stay in for a

35:12

little bit and you think about what you did. I don't care you're losing

35:15

your freedom from that. You hit somebody over the head with something, or

35:20

try and rob them and break ribs and dislocate you, you're going in.

35:24

I'm truthfully, And I remember being a little kid even having this attitude to

35:29

a point, and my mom was like telling me I was acting too old

35:31

and wasn't nice in that. I remember kids doing stuff when I was in

35:37

school, you know, stealing stuff whatever else in the neighborhood or what have

35:39

you, and talking to my mom about it, and I was like,

35:43

we why aren't their parents getting in trouble because they don't have anything, the

35:45

kids don't work, they need to pay back for whatever. And they were

35:49

like, well, and you hear that now though, And it's hard if

35:52

parents can't control the kid and they're asking for help from the system. We,

35:55

the people, the community, the judicial system, whatever else and the

35:59

police. But how aggravating is that if you're working a neighborhood and you're a

36:01

cop and you turned out a couple of kids who were busted for something else,

36:06

and then three days later they're right back. Yeah, I mean,

36:08

how aggrivate. And if you're in the neighborhood and you live there, or

36:12

if you operate a business and you're seeing the same faces who have gotten in

36:15

trouble and they're turned right back out there, reaging and doing again. Yeah,

36:17

that's a good point. I mean, seriously, and they're trying to

36:21

rectify the damn It's tough. Joey, Matt, Rob and Chuck Jim,

36:24

A lot of people on hold, quick break, come back rapid fire to

36:29

cause your chance to sound off on a Sunday afternoon. She's Donnade, I'm

36:31

sterling, and this is the Nation Station seven hundred WW. We find ourselves

36:37

in trouble times, confusing times, and you may feel lost. When I

36:40

hear his words, I can feel my heart go pitypat But remember, my

36:45

friend Willie is here for you. Why can't more meon be like Bill Cunningham,

36:49

here to soothe your fears. I made him a friendship bracelet like the

36:52

great American that I am. Every night I dream of Bill Cunningham, me

36:55

too. All you have to do is listen to me Dere Cunningham tomorrow at

37:00

twelve noon on seven hundred WLW. In this week's Marketers Report, we learn

37:06

about the value of local influencers in uncertain times from Alison Griffin, head of

37:10

marketing at State Far. The economy is tough for everyone, and taking a

37:15

step back and understanding the pain that your customers are currently going through because of

37:20

a tough environment is really important. We have nineteen thousand agents across the country

37:25

and they understand what's going on in those very unique communities. iHeart has such

37:31

a broad broadcast reach that is local connected, and for us to be able

37:37

to touch customers with a local field but at a national scale is so efficient

37:43

and important for us as the number one audio company. iHeartMedia gives marketers access

37:47

to all from national to local, every audience, live conversations, trusted influencers,

37:52

and the insights and data you need to grow. Not just a media

37:57

company, iHeartMedia is your access company. If you're a marketer, go to

38:00

iHeart results dot com. Hear that that's the sound of a factory where they

38:07

needed a siemas Lukoshis with a three point fucking with ten seconds to go.

38:13

Cincinnati holds on after that, and the Bearcats can breathe a gigantic sigh of

38:20

relief. Big twelve win for the basketball Bearcats on the big one, Dani,

38:25

A big win. That's huge, snopp in the best year for them

38:30

in the Big twelve. But it's growing pains, you know. But they

38:34

won last night. Xavier won last night, NK you lost to Right State

38:37

Horizon League season wrap up. But they'll play each other again at the Nutters

38:42

Center come Thursday and the Horizon League Tournament. Red's in action later on this

38:46

afternoon, two three o'clock, first pitch on the Big win. Sterling and

38:50

Donnade here on seven hundred WLW. We were talking earlier. The guy said,

38:54

he said he didn't want to mention the group he had had a problem

38:59

was assaulted downtown. It was someone who a dark skinned African American black person

39:02

apparently, or black kids, whatever it was. He said. And I

39:06

said, that's a broad general statement. When he was saying the element downtown,

39:09

the element is thugs, the element is criminals. It's not about skin

39:14

color, is my observation or hallucination, because that's like saying all white folks

39:17

are whatever, or all Italians or all Catholics or all whatever, and that

39:22

that's short sighted. So kay. Kenneth Gipp on Twitter says Sterling Radio,

39:29

my niece was assaulted and her car vandalized last night. This is on X.

39:32

He said, I give the description of her assailants, but that night

39:36

violate your issue with broad generalizations. No, that's not what we're talking about.

39:42

Go ahead, continue, I know this was staying in an Airbnb on

39:45

Court Street. Ninety five percent of the crime is committed by the broad generalization.

39:51

Okay, all right, Well listen, if you're if certain people are

39:54

doing crimes in certain areas, that's one thing. But we've had a problem

39:59

in this with the villainization of and painting broad brushes of all people of a

40:05

certain type. Are all types of criminals or all types of whatever? And

40:09

I'm simply saying that's unfair. Do you want me to say all Catholics or

40:14

whatever, all priests or whatever, all Jews are whatever, all Gays are

40:20

whatever? All? Well, wait, you get in that area, a

40:22

lot of people are like Oh yeah, we've heard a lot of that lately. But I mean, just that's I am. I'm somehow missing something.

40:28

I don't care if you're white or black. There may be some societal issues

40:31

in social economic problems that lead into it, but it's parenting. You can

40:36

argue that, it's faith, it's policing, it's community involvement, it's people

40:39

trying to watch their own back, and it needs a criminal justice system to

40:44

handle their business. In my observation or hallucination, but you can't say,

40:46

oh, it's the blacks, or oh it's the whites, or oh it's

40:50

the whatever, because then what does that say. Well, in describing your

40:58

sister's attacker, whoever this is, that rot you is Kenneth Kenny. Yes,

41:01

so there's nothing wrong with that. You should call out the person the

41:07

individuals that have done this and not just say it's happening from that whole group

41:13

of people or whatever they're calling it. The elements. They're all different,

41:19

they're all different colors, they're all different races, they're all different ages and

41:22

sizes and shapes, and but we're all from the human family. And why

41:27

we keep killing and beating each other as the human race I will never figure

41:30

that out. I will say this that is bewildering to me when you hear

41:34

a news story and they'll say this person did this crime and they're on the

41:37

loose, but they won't say what they look like. If it's a white,

41:42

black, two foot tall, two hundred pound, which that's not possible,

41:45

but you get the general idea, then you can identify who the bad

41:50

actor is that you want who's on the wanted poster? Right, that's different.

41:53

You're identifying an individual, right, not a cluster of populations saying well,

42:00

they are the victimizer or these people are strictly visus. And I'll go

42:02

as far as to say there are some stereotypes that ring truth instances. Yeah,

42:10

but to yes, exactly, that's literally the definition of But to broaden

42:16

that, especially with such a negative connotation, right, tough. And that's

42:22

what we're dealing with a lot right now. To Northern Kentucky. And Robin was Stirling and Dynade on the Big One. Hey Robin, what's up?

42:28

Hey? I was born and raised down over the run. And they're never

42:32

going to stop the violence and the drugs, delane and everything else. I've

42:37

seen people shot in the head dieded in the alleys and everything that's not going

42:42

to change downtown. And I don't care what you put down there, restaurants

42:47

or whatever. That will never change downtown. And now I'm fifty years old.

42:52

I was born at thirteen forty two Monastery m And you've seen some things,

42:58

Robin, haven't you. You seem yeah, yeah, I can hear.

43:02

I can hear it in your voice. I can literally hear that in

43:07

your voice. I used to live on Wona Street Mercer Street when I was

43:12

a young girl in the eighties. That's when the drug and violence is start

43:17

started downtown. That's when cocaine come out. Oh boy, that's when it

43:23

started. I've seen a lot of stuff down there. I think it's still

43:30

the same to me because people are still getting shot and they're still doing drug

43:34

dealing down there. Yeah, and then they need to work harder on that.

43:36

I don't know that you can ever really eradicate it, but there are certain pockets that's just inherent with it. And that's you know, certain areas

43:42

that it's not condoned, certain areas there's not as much of it around,

43:45

or they do it more intelligently, and it's not on the street. I got to be honest Ill. By the way, thanks Robin than you with

43:53

all the information we have on drugs, and I'm not talking about weed.

43:58

I'm talking about the drugs that she's talking about, crack, heroin, meth

44:01

and those types of things. When you know you're going to die and you

44:06

know what this you've seen how this movie plays out, how do you start

44:09

that at this point? I mean, how do you start? It's it's

44:14

hard to say, uh, I mean, I guess the trick is involved

44:16

in the community, more family and you know, getting engaged with their kids

44:20

and those type of things. I mean, it's it's it's just what has

44:23

to happen, right, I mean, otherwise you got to keep trying.

44:27

Yeah, if you if you don't keep it's like if you if you get

44:29

a family member who keeps doing you keep trying? Yeah, I mean,

44:31

because what else do you do? And I'm not going to change the way

44:36

I live and where I go. I'm going to watch my back, I'm going to pay attention. I'm going to be as cautious as I can and

44:40

be able to handle myself as best as I'm able. And occasionally bad things

44:44

happen. Well in this, this conversation is not to create more fear.

44:46

I don't want to do that to anybody. But there is a point where

44:52

if we can figure out ways to uh at least be more safe traveling traveling

44:59

in a packer ourselves, you know, being there with two or three more

45:02

people instead of going by yourself, that might be a good solution. Or

45:07

I don't necessarily think everyone needs to do concealed weapon. I don't think that

45:12

that's the answer of great training. By the way, h CW training.

45:15

Yeah, it's good. People should have that. Now they're not requiring it

45:19

like they used to, so then people don't even know how to handle their

45:21

weapon. Yeah, and that's a problem. Yeah, that is a problem. And dues straight bullets like the one who went into the Kroger down on

45:27

there it's Court Street, Yeah the other day. I mean, that's the

45:30

thing. You get a straight back into that Kroger. I have shot because I live downtown at City Club apartments and I've been to that Kroger. Yeah,

45:37

Wow, that's scary. It is. You just don't know. It's a bad feeling when you hear five and then like a crash, logal,

45:43

what the hell is that? Yeah? Right. Nobody wants that. Right.

45:45

It's tough, you know. I mean, if you don't just randough,

45:49

just random shots one o'clock reports straight away, we make double in this

45:52

a little bit more. Seems like a lot of people that are interested will give you a chance to sound off. We got some other things to get

45:57

to as well, including cardivascular health, issues about getting fit, and fertility

46:00

and so much more after two o'clock, but we get an hour before that.

Starlink Donna de Newstime now home of the Red seven hundred WLW News Traffic

46:17

Sandy Collins breaking now. Republicans appeared to be losing steam in their impeachment inquiry

46:23

and to President Biden this week after Biden's son Hunter had his closed door testimony

46:29

in front of the House Oversight Committee. ABC News contributor and former Justice Department

46:34

spokesperson Sarah Isacer explaining that this hearing likely failed to provide Republicans with the smoking

46:39

gun they've been looking for. Here. We do have evidence of influence peddling,

46:44

but that's not a crime. If Joe Biden wasn't president, wasn't vice

46:47

president when it happened. And here you have Hunter Biden looking very confident that

46:52

what he did might have been slimy, but it wasn't illegal, and it

46:55

doesn't implicate his father. Republicans have yet to really find what they need to

47:00

move forward now. That full two hundred and twenty four page transcript of Hunter

47:04

Biden's testimony is on the House Overside Committee's website to read for yourself. Now,

47:09

48:01

This Tuesday is Super Tuesday. Fifteen states go to the presidential primary polls

48:08

and Ohio's primary is coming up on the nineteenth. Also, Kentucky and Indiana

48:13

48:17

last night. Police called to Vine and mcmickon. They found pickup truck smashed

48:22

into a utility poll with a man and woman inside. At the time,

48:25

their injuries were life threatening and we have not gotten any updates today so far.

48:30

There was another shooting, this time last night in Clifton. Taron Johnson

48:34

has more. A man has been hospitalized after being shot in the face in

48:37

Clifton Saturday evening. Cincinnati Police said the incident happened around six thirty pm on

48:43

Vine Street. According to police, an eighteen year old male victim was shot

48:45

in the face and taken to the hospital for surgery. Police say the shooting

48:50

49:00

I'm Tarin Johnson, News Radio seven hundred WLW, and the Rods cactiously play

49:05

in Goodyear, Colorado, outscoring the Reds yesterday ten to four. Today,

49:07

the Reds take on the Royals at TREEO five. It's all right here.

49:12

I'm Sandy Collins next. Updated one point thirty on news radio seven hundred WLW.

49:16

This report is sponsored by unbound dot org. Right now, there are

49:21

young people across the world facing a tough choice continue their dream. Can you

49:24

just say what you just said off air? I was probably my fault almost

49:29

always is personally, professionally, it's my fault. And then jump right on

49:34

the air. I love it taking owners said, Why do you take so

49:38

much pleasure in the fact that I say that something was my fault? Because

49:44

it just look at my face. It just makes me smile. Yeah, you do. You look like it's like euphoria. It's like pure joy or

49:51

something. I'm hurt by that somehow, I don't know. Lots of stuff

49:54

to do later, health issues, fertility, living longer, Ultra says,

50:00

foods with apparently, or a lot of my favorites. Apparently they're trying to

50:04

kill us. We'll find out about that. And cookies, you know,

50:08

I mean certain things you just need. Cereal. I like my cereal.

50:13

Yeah, what cereal do you eat? I like a cinnamon, like a

50:15

cheerio. Those are good, but I kind of like to try to balance

50:20

like that. They have the oats in there sometimes with the almonds and things. Oh yeah, I mean, you know, I like the raisin bran.

50:25

You know, you put cinnamon in your coffee too. You're a cinnamon

50:29

guy. Cinnamon's good. It is very good. When I was in school,

50:32

nothing wrong with cinnamon. I would sell an elementary school. I had

50:37

a Duffel bag in between classes that let me do this. It was a nice revenue, it was. I had a side hustle. Even then.

50:43

I sold now Laters, which is sort of like like what's his name from?

50:46

Uh not drugs? No? It was yeah, who was the one

50:51

that sold the concert tickets? Whis Pecola? Yeah, except I wasn't with

50:57

Jennifer Jason Lee in a out in the baseball in the whole house or whatever.

51:05

And I love the three name girls. My god, she was one

51:07

of my favorites from She's still like Mary Louise Parker, most of the three

51:13

name girls I like. I don't know why, I don't know what that

51:15

is. But I would sell the now Laters and it's like the reds.

51:17

They're built to win now maybe a little earlier than expected, and to be

51:22

built to last and for later. So like the now lads, the lemon

51:25

drops or lemon heads, and I would sell those little cinnamon round red hots.

51:30

Oh okay, So then that's how I made now and Laters would have

51:35

been my favorite. And then everybody and we never said now and later.

51:37

It was just now. Later we skipped the that's weird later. But I

51:44

don't know anybody who ever said now. You're the first person I've ever heard say, you know what. I used to like her bottle caps with the

51:49

root beer bottle caps. Those were good. What are the candies? See

51:53

this? Producers? Yeh yeah, yeah. And we can tie this in

51:55

for what here's what we'll do, well, multitask. We're gonna go rapid

51:59

fire because the phone lines have been full talking about downtown safety, Donna,

52:02

So let's talk about that. Give you a chance to sound off. What

52:07

is your perception of downtown. Have you had a problem? What could they

52:09

do? I mean, is it more policing and visibility downtown? Hard to

52:13

go wrong with that, really, right? I mean, you only have so many resources, and I think we call up some cash, you pay

52:20

for some police and you handle it. There's a police doing detail work downtown

52:22

and stuff. So we're rip through these calls. But I don't know what

52:24

you think on that. And then here's what we'll do. We'll weave this

52:28

in. Since we've talked about this candy and salacious content of sugar and unhealthiness,

52:34

maybe your favorite candy is a kid to go with it right before we

52:37

talk to the hard doctor. Yeah, we'll lead right up to it, right, I mean we're talking now later all the other stuff, and what

52:43

was the candy that was? It was like a hard candy outer shell like

52:46

like a like a almost like a cinnamon drop or something in the flavor,

52:51

and inside there was some fizzy like stuff that would like nutson not pop out.

52:54

Alex, do you know that one rocks? Yeah, of course pop

52:58

rocks. And the people that was the rumor. Everybody knew somebody who knew

53:02

a kid who had that drank a pop or a soda and then they blew

53:07

up. They're like that kid blew walk. Did you hear about that kid?

53:10

Like it? He was an Amelia he was I think he was in

53:14

Pickwell, I don't know. Somewhere everybody heard the same mysterious kid. I'm

53:17

trying. I think he's in Covington. He blew walk real good. It

53:21

was unbelievable. So anyway, let's get to some calls here. Let's get

53:24

College Hill and Joby and Matt j T Chuck Jim. Where are the women?

53:28

Donna? Seriously too? Like, no disrespect Joby, But I mean

53:32

I like it when the women called to yourere stirling a Donna d on the

53:36

big one. Joby, what do you have? Well, what we need

53:38

is equal representation, that's true. Yes, women would probably be I like

53:45

a smart one in the studio. It's fifty to fifty. If Alex was

53:50

in here, though, I'd be outnumbered, that's true. Well. I

53:52

also like the root beer bottle cap yes, right, and those were like

53:59

it wasn't really gum, it was some it was I don't know. It was like a wafer kind of a thing. It weird, right, they

54:05

were the best man I want so much candy right now? Anyway, go

54:08

ahead, joby, I know it's not why you called it. Thank you for adding in and keeping the topic spinning around. Oh yeah, well,

54:15

I want to show you that each community has a dynamic to it where it

54:20

has a cycle or is a secular float and everything, you know, starting

54:23

from emergence two decay. And so I can give you an example. When

54:29

I was nine years old in nineteen seventy, my folks would get let me

54:32

go on a cloth bus number seventeen right downtown and then I would make my

54:37

transferred bus up to what was the Springer School up in Mount Adams. So

54:42

you can imagine this. I'm nine years old and they're intrusting me to go

54:45

ahead and take the right bus and no one messed with me at all.

54:50

It was a good ride. Now in the seventh actually, oh god,

54:55

in nineteen ninety nine there I was accosted. But I think what's going on

55:00

now is in front of instead of people asking, now they're taking him as

55:06

wrapping up, you know, to be more aggressive behavior. Yeah, there

55:09

is a lot of that. Aggressive Now they're demanding I'm doing a great call.

55:15

By the way, I'm sorry you dealt with that. But you know what I was allowed, hid, I took the bus everywhere, taking transfers

55:22

downtown eight years old, nine years old, ten And I talk about that

55:24

now. My mom's like, I can't believe I did that, and I'm

55:27

like, mom, I had never had a problem, Yeah, other than

55:30

falling off the piece of modern art in the square onto my head, which may or may not be obvious at this point, Obi one could Joe be

55:37

over there? That was that was deep? And I think that he's right.

55:42

People have gotten more aggressive. They have all the way around. I

55:45

mean, it's we're all very hostile, it seems, are just on the

55:49

edge of it to deal High and Matt with Stirling and donad what you got,

55:52

Matt, Hey, My whole situation with this deal is is how we're

55:59

looking at society. Holy used to be you could recognize someone that was bad

56:04

and that being an adult eighteen and above. Now it's it's carried over to

56:07

the children, and you can't really call them children anymore. Fourteen year olds

56:12

are pulling off these crimes and doing the things that they're doing. Now I

56:16

look at fourteen year olds totally different than I did. You know, just

56:21

ten years ago. That's crazy. But I can't even imagine myself doing anything

56:28

near what they're doing right now, harming another person at the age of fourteen.

56:32

Yeah, you get in trouble, you take your bike, you do

56:36

whatever, you have some fun, you get into a little trouble. Scale

56:38

You're needs them that them days are gone now that they've moved on to stealing

56:44

firearms out of people's cars. They profile cars that have two A stickers on

56:49

them, or you can't take my guns. Well, they assume that that

56:52

person's carry so they'll break into that car steal their gun because they put it

56:57

in a box or whatever and keep it legally in their vehicle. Well they

57:00

know, they go after it and target it. It's in change that our

57:05

country has gotten to the point that where a fourteen year old is not treated

57:08

like an adult because of the disrespect, that fourteen year old feels like.

57:13

They're happy. It's all about. Social media has totally destroyed this country,

57:19

just utterly destroyed it. It's good in some parts, but everyone owns a

57:23

dare to the next kid, to the next kid, and to the next

57:27

kid. I want to up this kid. I want to do that.

57:30

And then these stupid gangs and all that know they can recruit these fourteen year

57:36

olds or talk to these fourteen year olds and do something because they're going to

57:38

be let out. Yeah, you're right, man, go ahead, and

57:42

I'm sorry. Now I walk around, I'm a hundred and I own several

57:46

guns, but every gun I own, I have never owned a handgun in

57:51

my life. Every gun I've owned will had a specific reason on the style

57:53

of hunting I did, whether it be turkey or whatever. Okay, now

57:59

I carry and I carry it all times and it's not And my biggest fear

58:02

is is one day I'm going to have to unlatch my holder and pull that

58:07

gun. Now, I do not, ever, ever, ever want to

58:10

do that, but I feared that I don't recognize the criminal element anymore because

58:15

the criminal element is a fourteen year old. It can be fantastic. Call

58:20

Matt, thank you. And that's whole thing. Social media too, is right on that those TikTok videos where they go up and push people and you

58:27

know, and bring that braver and braver and it's a joke, but people

58:30

like, what do you do after somebody does that? It's almost an assault,

58:35

almost, Well, they'll come up you know, even the videos of

58:37

just people getting sucker punch in the back of the head. I mean thinking it's a joke, and it carries up because now you're seeing adults and misinformation,

58:44

disinformation assaults and everything else, and it's really no different. That's the

58:49

thing that it is weird. But what do you do do you take it

58:52

away? Is it freedom of speech? If it's criminal activity, I think

58:55

it shouldn't be allowed to be seen. They should filter that, But how

58:59

do they do it? He's right, it can be fun and good,

59:04

but it's also a bad element part of if you're a parent, the conditioning

59:09

of human society. How much control do you have over your kid's viewing habits

59:14

on social media? Do you pay attention? I even the diligent parents would

59:21

have a hard time. You know, you can lock it, but then

59:23

there's the you know, would you like to keep going and keep watching?

59:27

You can click on that parental controls. Yes, But you know I watched

59:30

a lot of violent stuff as a kid on TV and movies, right,

59:34

I never but I understood that it was entertainment. I didn't think, oh

59:37

I could actually go out and drop an anvil on someone's head or go up

59:42

and like stick somebody with a knife and you weren't inundated with it. Sterling,

59:45

We used to have one TV in the living room and to share bunny

59:52

tennis and you have to get up and change the channel. We only had

59:54

six channels growing up. It's now and at midnight the tea TV just shut

1:00:00

off and it went to snow. Now it's like twenty four hours, twenty

1:00:04

four to seven, no control, different, no control. Let's take a

1:00:07

couple more here before the breaking. We're limited on time, but so many

1:00:10

people lined up on this. It's a serious thing. What about downtown?

1:00:13

Do you feel safe? Do you feel secure? How can they give you

1:00:15

a feeling of feeling better if you live downtown work downtown. More and more

1:00:19

people living downtown less working than used to because of the sort of this transition

1:00:22

the whole country is in and that's where we're going to start seeing even more

1:00:27

I think oddities in urban areas because the whole society is changing when it comes

1:00:34

to live and work and everything else. Let's get Jim with Stirling and done

1:00:37

a d on the big one. Hey, Jim, thanks for holding what's going on? Hey? So you want the reality in the situation for downtown.

1:00:45

Well, no, I'd like it to just make something up. Yeah, reality be good. I'd like to live in reality. I think a

1:00:49

lot of people are not I think a lot of people are delusional. But

1:00:51

he's trying to be I'm trying. I'm trying. It's not working, but

1:00:54

I'm trying. There's a lot of irrational fear being talked about right now about

1:01:00

going downtown, and it's not productive to have irrational fear to go down.

1:01:08

So I go to a lot of Cyclones games. I go to FC Cincinnati,

1:01:13

I go to night baseball games. I'll go tonight time Bengal games.

1:01:20

And rule number one is if you're going down to an event, you always

1:01:25

park within two or three blocks. If you can spend the extra money instead

1:01:31

of being ten dollars, pay the twenty dollars and get closer to the stadium

1:01:36

stadium, and you always walk with the CD the crowd of people. These

1:01:43

people are not going to jump out of the busses and attack you when there's

1:01:47

fifty other people around you, all walking to the same event. Yeah,

1:01:52

it'd be a mass retaliation on which they don't want. Seventeen year old daughter,

1:01:55

I would send my seventeen year old daughter down with her for as long

1:02:00

as she parks relatively close and walks with the crowd, and she leaves with

1:02:05

the crowd. It's when you're downtown and you're parked not in a parking garage,

1:02:13

but you're parked in one of these yeah little parking lot yeah were not

1:02:19

lit, that are up and over the rhine, and you're walking with you

1:02:24

and your significant other. You know, if you're going to go downtown this

1:02:29

summer, I would suggest that you go down with at least four to six

1:02:34

people and walk around as a crowd. They're not they're not going to there.

1:02:39

They're looking for people that look weak that they can just jump on.

1:02:45

Don't look scared, don't look like a tourist people. Now you're right,

1:02:50

reasonable boys, Jim Gray call thank you in great perspective. Let's get Chuck seven hundred WLW with Sterling and Donnade. What about downtown? How safe do

1:02:57

you feel? Are you not comfortable? Chuck? Hi? How you doing

1:03:04

good? Yes? Yes, yeah. I live in northern Kentucky and actually

1:03:07

I go to downtown quite a bit because I'm just over the river and I've

1:03:10

never felt, you know, in Jeopardy of Safety, and I love the

1:03:15

restaurants that I go to. I love I love the Reds games, and

1:03:19

I love going to the Bengals games. I go to a lot of festivals

1:03:22

along the banks in the city and all it's all great. I love the

1:03:24

restaurants and over to Rhyine, I am so happy you called in, Chuck,

1:03:29

because you're the only one that's done that except for me. I have I have. I go downtown all the time, and I love downtown Cincinnati.

1:03:37

I love going to the riverfront. I love going to the bars and restaurants down there. It's really really fun. Yeah, it's happening, Pa.

1:03:44

If there's an altercation, it's between two groups of people that I am not even part of that. They're like doing the right thing, and maybe

1:03:49

one guy shot another guy. I don't know what's going on, but the

1:03:52

police can figure that out. But they're not attacking people at random. You

1:03:55

know, they're not going after just citizens. Someone walking to a game or

1:03:59

a restaurant. Now at one o'clock in the morning or two o'clock, if

1:04:01

I'm coming out, if I'm heavy drinking out of a bar, I'm not

1:04:03

gonna I don't do that. But I'm gonna probably get some It's going to

1:04:08

be a risky situation, right, Yeah, I'm doing the right thing.

1:04:12

It's all good. You're right. I love our city because it's a diverse

1:04:14

city, and I think people genuinely appreciate each other, love each other,

1:04:18

have tolerance and acceptance more than other big cities. I think I think we

1:04:23

should be proud. I could not agree more perspective. Thank you. That

1:04:30

is uh, that is exactly how I feel as well. And it's very

1:04:35

clean downtown Cincinnati. I mean, it is beautiful city downtown and I understand

1:04:41

there is some fear, and this is not why we're talking about it either,

1:04:44

is to instill fear, because I don't want people to have irrational The

1:04:47

last two callers were fantastic, reasonable voices. Yes, and know that.

1:04:53

Listen, there's always going to be I think I think Chuck was the best

1:04:57

one. I think we can end on him because what about these So you're

1:05:00

telling that you've heard what you wanted. If you're done with them and they

1:05:03

can't be heard, let's I get two more calls. I like it.

1:05:05

I like that down It's like, no, I heard what I wanted.

1:05:10

I heard what I heard. I like ending stuff on a positive note,

1:05:13

but could we don't know. If we don't know, it's like Pandora's box,

1:05:16

don't know what's in there. It's like get in a box of chocolates.

1:05:18

Right, But I mean, but here's the thing, Okay, take

1:05:21

them. A lot of people like to hear validation of their perspective. I

1:05:26

like to hear things I don't necessarily agree with their understand because I want to

1:05:30

get to a place of understanding everybody else. And it's also good to let

1:05:32

people vent on some things too, because just like my friend Jeff who's texting

1:05:36

me now, is it's been suffering. He's suffering. He's a big dude.

1:05:41

He I mean, you know, if he wanted to be intimidating,

1:05:43

be intimidating. He's a big human. Yes I am not, but I'm

1:05:45

told that I'm scary, but for probably other reasons. JT or with Starling

1:05:50

and Donna de on seven hundred WLW what's going on? JT. Hey,

1:05:55

My wife and I have lived downtown Cincinnati, kind of where Donna used to

1:05:59

live. We live on Fourth Street between and Walnuts, and the last seven

1:06:04

years my wife and I have lived there, not one time did we feel

1:06:10

unsafe. Not one time have we been accosted. Not one time did we

1:06:14

feel that we were danger jumped. And we're not too old fogies, like

1:06:18

knitting in our condo downtown, Like we go to Over the Ryan three or

1:06:23

four times a week. We go to every Bengals game. We go to

1:06:27

at least thirty forty Reds games. And you know, we have a dog

1:06:30

that has to go out yet at night. Yeah, and I walked him

1:06:34

around and again my wife walks him as well. And not one time have

1:06:39

we ever felt unsafe. We've never had a knife pulled on us. And

1:06:45

you know it's I don't want to sound like an elitist, but I've lived

1:06:47

in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Michigan. And I'm not

1:06:53

talking about like living in the suburbs. I've lived downtown. Yeah, and

1:06:56

downtown Cincinnati is the cleanest, nicest and the city that I've ever lived in

1:07:00

it is JT. Oh my gosh, I'm so glad we look at you,

1:07:04

Sterling, because we ended up taking JT and I wanted to stop off

1:07:08

at and it was good. But here's the thing that we got read.

1:07:14

I don't know he may ruin this string of people saying, read what about

1:07:17

downtown, bro, I'm not gonna your evil streak. Yes, I don't

1:07:24

go downtown, but I'm not afraid to go down there, you know,

1:07:26

by myself. But I think the problem with the teenagers you guys touched on,

1:07:32

uh starting at home to me. I mean, when I was growing

1:07:35

up, my dad always told me, you know, if you get in

1:07:38

trouble with the law, you're gonna have to get yourself out, but you're

1:07:41

gonna have to face me first. So I never got in trouble. Yeah,

1:07:45

but many scenes, you know, I don't know, for single parent homes or double parent homes. Like the recent arrest. They had one of

1:07:50

these kids and an angel Bryce went on monitoring brace. He didn't care,

1:07:55

just bolted out. Anyway, that's a disturbing stuff. I think the problem

1:07:58

with that teenager so's it starts on the home with me, and you know, how you're raised and discipline and so forth. It's always the same as

1:08:04

it really appreciate the call. It is always the very same thing home parenting,

1:08:10

who you're around, modeling, mentoring, handling your business, respect,

1:08:14

whether it's God, faith, whatever it takes. And maybe a fear of

1:08:17

a beatdown at home. Matthew, you get it for doing something else.

1:08:20

My mom was pretty tough handed too. If we were in trouble or we

1:08:24

skipped school, holy smokes, we had to wait for ours. I almost

1:08:28

wish my mom would have beaten me more because she always wanted to lecture me

1:08:31

and then the beating actors. So she was like, why did you think

1:08:34

that was a good idea? Just hit me? I didn't raise the stupid

1:08:39

boy. I'm trying to raise you, right, I'm like, can't I

1:08:41

just go get the belt or that's what she goes. No, that's later.

1:08:43

Tell me why you thought that was a smart move? Think about it.

1:08:46

I'll be back. I'm like, what I've got to think about it

1:08:48

now? Right, Holy crap, Stirling and Donna coming back. We'll think

1:08:53

about it too. Seven hundred WLW. A good day starts with a good

1:08:58

morning. Here's Laura. Too many margheritas at taco night have left her a

1:09:03

little queasy and bloodshot this morning, but she knows what she needs, plenty

1:09:09

of black coffee and plenty of Mike McConnell. Good morning. Mike PEPs her

1:09:14

up with the latest numerous weather traffic in sports. Plus he is sense of

1:09:17

humor helps her overcome her nausea. Well it kind of done. Mike McConnell

1:09:25

tomorrow morning at five on seven hundred LW help the planet with a tip from

1:09:29

iHeartRadio or education doesn't just take place in the classroom. I just heard some

1:09:34

cattle over there. It's okay. I'm just I'm excited. I'm just a

1:09:38

little paranoid tonight. I haven't performed in a couple of months, and yet,

1:09:42

hey, I'm paranoid about everything in my life. Even at home on

1:09:45

my stationary bike, I have a rearview mirror, which I'm not feel about.

1:09:51

And sadly, my last shrink she just she retired about a week ago.

1:09:57

I'm freaked out. And it was it was sort of a a nightmare.

1:10:00

She was. She was only twenty four. I guess I burned her out real fast. And the last session was unbelievable. She set herself on

1:10:06

fire. She ran out of the session going, no Moss, no Moss.

1:10:12

So what do you do. I'm on the road. I'm a comic.

1:10:14

You know, you go to these clinics and all these rip off clinics. Now, I was in Dallas, I had this therapy amusement park six

1:10:19

Flags over Bellevue, you know, and I used those phone services one nine

1:10:25

hundred. You wacko, which is a big thing now, But hey,

1:10:30

what's my problem what you have for me? I have bad posture, I

1:10:32

have low self esteem. I'm unhappy about it. I could blame my parents.

1:10:35

I want to blame my parents for practically everything I look. After high

1:10:40

school, I said what should I do? I have no idea what I should do, and they went, well, we think you should run away

1:10:45

with the circus. And that wasn't good for me. But I'm a bad

1:10:49

posture. It's just just the beginning. The late great Richard Lewis passed away

1:10:55

earlier than this last one. What a gift. He was world absolutely six

1:11:00

years old. I was dealing with Parkinson's disease. I had a heart attack

1:11:03

known but for a lot of people because of a curb your enthusiasm which is

1:11:08

running now on demand or whatever on Max or HBO deal And then of course

1:11:13

did the TV stuff tons Us. I mean, I spent a lot of time its formative years in Ohio. We loved Ohio, Love Columbus, went

1:11:18

to Ohio State and just just I miss him already. It's a great guy.

1:11:24

We're supposed to be on the show. A couple of years ago, had back surgeries and they called, oh, really sorry. You know he's

1:11:28

gonna get better when he's done with the backstuff. And then the Parkinson thing happened. Yeah, there we are. But you know he he worked until

1:11:33

he was you know, could put for the most part until we dot Yeah,

1:11:40

I mean, and we were just talking about this. Uh A lot

1:11:44

several of my friends right now are close to retirement age. And if you

1:11:49

can be a comedian and a very popular sitcom until you until you're dying day,

1:11:57

you're doing something right in this life in my opinion, because I think

1:12:00

it's really important to find the funny in life, and people take things way

1:12:03

too seriously and if you can relax and have fun, just realize you're not

1:12:09

going to be here for that much longer. I mean for a lot of

1:12:12

us. Did you hear? What? Do you know? You? Me

1:12:16

and you personally? No? But the but the fun thing we started talking

1:12:21

about is when you retire and you have enough money to retire with hopefully hopefully

1:12:30

I think there would be for me, I think there would be enough money

1:12:33

for me to retire. Do you have a plan? I mean, what

1:12:35

do you want to do? What I have a plan? What you do

1:12:38

like when it comes time? What you well, I really do think and

1:12:42

you're part of my plan because I want us to continue to do radio together.

1:12:45

So retirement I think we can absolutely. But this really is the prepara,

1:12:54

is the free stuff. It's all the prep to get ready for the

1:12:57

show that that's right, that's right, which we don't do we do no.

1:13:03

But I'm always going to teach yoga always. I will always have that.

1:13:08

It's a passion of mine to teach yoga. Those are some of the

1:13:10

things that I would do. I would probably maybe train for a marathon and

1:13:15

take, you know, give a little bit more intention to his body here

1:13:18

unbuild for the Bockfest marathon, which is a point oh five I think it's

1:13:23

one hundred and sixty feet or something, and I am well equipped to get

1:13:26

to one hundred and sixty some feet in a pint hoe waiting for me in

1:13:29

the end. That actually sounds pretty good. Sounds like a good retirement to

1:13:32

me at this point. But what would you do if you if you were

1:13:35

retiring next week, right, and you're you're doing have into work. We're

1:13:42

doing this. We would still yeah do you would you teach yoga? I'll

1:13:45

learn some yoga. I'll stretch, I'll briethe better. Yeah, I'd probably

1:13:48

travel a little bit more. Yeah. Right. I have friends that are

1:13:53

snowbirding it. They work from home, so that they're in Florida right about

1:13:56

now. I would definitely have a place on the beach. I will that's

1:13:59

not even option. And you spend time in Florida's a kid too, so I mean, oh yeah, I lived there for ten years. Yeah,

1:14:04

I love the Florida beaches. I could do like a Cincinnati, you know,

1:14:09

regional tri state Miami Valley. Like a tiny house here, a tiny

1:14:13

house there. Maybe a little place in Florida. I don't even mind if it's a trailer like a Rockford Files, like Jim Rockford, just a trailer

1:14:18

on the beach, if you could find a small patch in the tall grass.

1:14:23

Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon he did the same thing. He had his

1:14:27

dog run on the beach and stuff. Yeah, that's definitely part of my

1:14:30

fourth act in my movie is going to be on the beach somewhere. I

1:14:34

think that that sounds perfect. I think we've curated, and that's really what

1:14:38

this is. We're as people. We have a chance if you think about

1:14:41

it, and I try to and my problem is, like Richard lewis maybe

1:14:45

overthinking. I need to get out of my head. But we're curating,

1:14:48

we're planning and putting together this life of ours. Yes, because you only

1:14:53

do it once, yes, as far as we know. Well, no,

1:14:55

I disagree, but you come back again, yes, So like if

1:14:59

I screw up, I'll come back as a bug, and then if I get it right, I attain some other higher level of something. Well,

1:15:05

I think the ultimate goal is to let go fear, which am not afraid?

1:15:10

Do I seem afraid? No? No, I mean for humans period.

1:15:14

Yeah, I mean in our journey of life, there's two choices we

1:15:17

make. Do I have to get into love or fear? And we're supposed

1:15:20

to choose love as in open hearted people. Right, that's where I'm all

1:15:26

about love. I know you are, I gotta say, But I mean

1:15:30

we all motivated by pleasure and pain, yes, right, So if you

1:15:33

equate more pain with something, you're not going to do it. Sometimes you

1:15:36

fight through that pain, right, But we're all searching for the pleasure,

1:15:41

and some people are so fixated on it that they numb themselves trying to get

1:15:44

to that. That's right, that is exactly right. We're going deep today.

1:15:47

We're heavy. You said there's no show prep, but I mean,

1:15:50

you know, I put it together for the people. Donna I do.

1:15:54

We're going to open the phones again five point three seventy four nine. Fun

1:15:57

to think about retirement is it is a fun thing to think about. Do

1:16:00

you have a plan? Are you do? You already know what you're gonna

1:16:04

do? On the on the fun side of any Mordeaux, I would here's

1:16:09

the thing, a little bit more doll always. I want to end at

1:16:12

zero. I mean, like like some people like I want to have all

1:16:14

that. I'd like to have some money left so I can help some I

1:16:18

can't take it with me, right, So tiny house here, tiny house

1:16:21

there, whatever it takes, you know, maybe not a tent in the

1:16:25

woods down by the river, but maybe maybe a house boat. I think

1:16:29

it'd be cool to live on the Ohio. I don't know if I don't

1:16:31

want to do that. No, you just kayak, no, just get

1:16:34

a condo on the beach. You'll be fine. Okay, that'd be nice,

1:16:38

it'd be good five three, seven, four, nine, seven,

1:16:41

eight hundred. The big one. If you're curating your life and you're thinking

1:16:44

about the next step, the next act. If it's you know, ten

1:16:47

years, fifteen years, twenty years from retirement, how are you building for

1:16:50

it? What is your vision for what that future is for you? You're

1:16:55

the writer of your own movie. You can change the script and add new

1:17:00

characters whenever you like. I think I travel a little bit more. Traveling

1:17:04

is good and it's definitely in my in my you know, future near future.

1:17:10

You travel a lot, but it's mostly work. But I'm working,

1:17:13

Like I go next week to I actually get the pleasure of going to Anaheim.

1:17:16

I'm going to Disneyland for a huge epic event for our company next week,

1:17:21

and that that will be fun. Even though it's work, it's still

1:17:25

I make it fun for me too. Yeah, I mean it helps.

1:17:28

I mean the work is a four letted word, but it helps if you

1:17:30

wake up and don't mind going, Yes, and it's really cool. If you're there and you're like, this is good and then rather than leaving and

1:17:35

going I never want to go back there again. That helps. And if

1:17:40

you're working from home, it's really horrible. If you're like, I don't

1:17:42

ever want to do that, it's awful. Five point three seven eight hundred

shoes. Yeah, he's still a lot, Alex, He's not done. I just is that a beast thing to ask? Well? I think I

1:19:49

don't know how healthy he is because somebody just posted a picture of Casey in

1:19:54

the Sunshine Man, the singer of Casey, and he does you know he

1:19:59

looks bloated, robust. Yeah, not like the guy. Was it Mike

1:20:02

Reno from Lover Boy. Yes, Harry Wayne Casey, which, by the

1:20:06

way, that's a three name guy. I means you like him a lot.

1:20:10

No. No, three named men tend to you be serial killers.

1:20:13

I'm not saying John Wayne Gacy three named women I love generally, but the

1:20:18

three named men seem to be a predators. Not him, though he's an

1:20:21

entertainer and he's still seventy three. I was just trying to look it up.

1:20:26

Alex is too quick for me. Yeah, so his stage of retirement,

1:20:29

he's working through it, doing some striking. Would that be nice?

1:20:32

Yeah, I mean a weekend warrior, go out, do some shows,

1:20:35

live a good life, entertain the people, and you can do it even

1:20:39

when you have Parkinson's. We were talking about Richard Lewis still doing Curby,

1:20:43

your enthusiasm, still being funny, still uh, you know, up until

1:20:46

you know his deathbed pretty much amazing bummer. Well, you know what,

1:20:51

what a great life and he helped so many people and coming out talking about

1:20:56

the issues that he dealt with too, which really helped a lot of drugging

1:20:59

olohol abuse. Yes, I mean it's nothing to be an What will you

1:21:02

do? How will you handle your retirement? Yeah, it's good to us

1:21:06

skate Ryan with Sterling and done a d on the big one. Ryan,

1:21:09

thanks for holding what's your plan? Man? Well, so I'm a fifty

1:21:13

three year old flooring contractor in Cincinnati. So I don't have a plan.

1:21:17

I didn't do the right things with my money, you know, early in

1:21:20

life, and so this weighs on my mind a lot. But just when

1:21:25

I was hearing you guys talk, I thought I kind of came up with

1:21:28

a plan. And my plan was to maybe take some yoga lessons and then

1:21:33

maybe the instructor will fall in love with me. I could live off her

1:21:38

money. Oh, you could be a kipman. How about that? Could

1:21:41

he be talking about me? Maybe you r Ryan? First of all,

1:21:46

I applaud you. I really hope you do take yoga lessons because it is

1:21:50

the fountain of youth and you want to have mobility. I'm sorry, and

1:21:56

I've been begging Sterling to come to my class because you'll get I'll explain it

1:22:00

about Okay, let let me just talk to Ryan here because he addressed Okay,

1:22:08

it's okay, Brian. I am sorry. She's tried to get me

1:22:18

to do that. But you know, but I'm in good shape because you

1:22:21

know, I physically labor every day, so you know my physicality it's pretty

1:22:29

decent. But you know, I don't know how many years left I got to do that? Right? Yeah? Still young? I mean you're one

1:22:34

year younger than I am, Brian. So are your knees in his lower

1:22:38

back? Lower back kicking that carpet? If you depend on the type of

1:22:41

flooring you're doing, that is seriously hard surface, man, the hardwood.

1:22:45

Yeah. Yeah, so that's a tough job. So you definitely have to

1:22:49

do hot yoga. I wouldn't suggest immediately because it can be very, very

1:22:54

challenging. It's a tough class. But come come to mind, Brian,

1:22:58

you can come to my class. People relaxing the gig. Guess there you

1:23:01

go, So come go go see to find her Instagram sterling dot Donna d

1:23:05

dot twenty twenty five. I post something about it later today and there you

1:23:09

go. Thank you. Brian, I appreciate it. See you look at

1:23:11

that, no, I And when when you talk about things, you start

1:23:15

thinking and planning. This is why my friends and I are talking about it.

1:23:18

We still many of us still have ways. I love to work.

1:23:23

I've always had a main job and a few side hustles. But I am

1:23:27

looking forward to not having to just not having to. Well, Sterling,

1:23:32

you and I I feel like are going to be on the air for years

1:23:35

and years and years to come. That too many years, maybe just years

1:23:40

and years to come. I don't know. I mean, this is not

1:23:43

like am I am I alone in thinking this? Well, I'm having a

1:23:46

blast. I don't know what anybody else is thinking. I don't hear things

1:23:49

from people. People ignore me. I'm just saying that. I mean,

1:23:53

no, this feels good. If the future is this, this is great.

1:23:59

But I always always want It's not that I'm greedy, right, but

1:24:02

I want more money in the bank. And case, how much do you

1:24:05

want? How much let's be honest, how does take how much? Sheep?

1:24:09

I'm cheap? Okay, Well, how much do you want? I'll

1:24:11

tell you my number if you tell me yours. And how much do you

1:24:14

want to retire? With It depends though, I would rather I think I want to work until I die though, because I need a purpose. I

1:24:20

have ap I have something to do. Get that otherwise, man, I

1:24:25

mean my vices. You know, I'd be like overdosing on coffee and cinnamon

1:24:29

rolls. I'll be eating too much ribs. My heart question, I don't

1:24:33

know what A million, three million? What do you need? I'm right

1:24:36

in the middle of that too. Yeah, I want Yeah, I mean

1:24:42

that's what I want to have for retirement. But is that enough? How

1:24:45

long are you going to live? I mean if I I could kill up

1:24:48

right now, I could die. Listen, I tell you what. It

1:24:51

really hit home with me. Yes, he don't. Yeah, I mean,

1:24:54

you know you only do it once. I'd like to make it.

1:24:57

Don't. Don't do it to make a show. I mean, not like

1:25:00

the guy in front of the embassy. You know a couple of weeks ago

1:25:03

that I'm not that dedicated to anything. For sure, I'm sympathetic, but

1:25:10

I'm not that he really showed them. Yeah. Heartbreaking, Yeah, but

1:25:15

I mean, uh, I just I I don't know how much it's gonna

1:25:19

cost me, and I'm not somebody that is an excessive spender either. But

1:25:24

I'd like to have two houses, and I'd like to have a nice working

1:25:27

car, new car that's paid for and and you know, go out and

1:25:30

have fun with my friends on the beach and my family. That shouldn't take

1:25:33

that much money. And I'm figgering two million is going to be what it

1:25:36

needs, what I need to get, and I have friends close to that.

1:25:40

Here's the thing though, Yeah, I know a whole lot of people

1:25:44

though, even with some decent insurance, who you have a health prob and

1:25:46

one thing like that is a bankruptcy, one thing is devastating to your finances.

1:25:51

And then what Yeah, and that's the worry that people have a heart

1:25:55

attack, a stroke, some type of life event. It can be devastating.

1:26:00

Speaking of which, after the two o'clock report, we're going to have

1:26:02

doctor Fommi faraw And who we've had before, a cardiologist. She does invasive

1:26:08

work with cardiology stuff in Fort Worth, Texas. It's going to be an

1:26:11

interesting interview. Weight lifestyle, ultra processed foods. Apparently I'm not doing a

1:26:17

lot of things I'm supposed to be doing to be around to have any future.

1:26:20

That's why I want you to come to you guys. And there's a

1:26:24

great story that really propelled us to reach out to her, and that there's

1:26:27

a guy who is trying to lose weight. He wants to have a family,

1:26:30

and apparently you lose weight, it's a lot. I don't know if he's shooting blanks now, but he wants to be able to have kids and

1:26:35

losing weight to not just have the kid, but to be around to take

1:26:39

care of it, to be healthy. Exactly, I don't need any kids,

1:26:42

right as the older the older we have a kid. Yeah, So

1:26:45

the older we get, the more you have to pay attention to your body.

1:26:49

You have to heal it hurts. Get Brian, he's fifty three and

1:26:53

he's saying, you know, he's he's he's yes, And now it's you

1:26:57

know what this is? This is like you know, it's the the three

1:27:00

minute like hit get to it. Yeah, right, this is time bank

1:27:03

that doll. Let's get one more here before the news. Can we do

1:27:05

that? Yeah? Yeah? Tom, what's going on here? We're sterling

1:27:09

a dynade on the big one. How's your Sunday, Tom coy, I've

1:27:14

never done this before. I've been listening to you all for a while,

1:27:16

but first time, but we appreciate It'm glad we could be your first time,

1:27:20

which sounded really weird. I shouldn't have said say that. Yeah,

1:27:24

that'd be much better. Please go ahead, Tom, Well just put it

1:27:28

on your guys' age. I've been running in Cincinnati. I'm fifty seven.

1:27:31

I've been running there forever. I used to bounce and so forth and so

1:27:36

on. Always had a regular job doing eating and air or something like that.

1:27:42

You what you just said is what I was just calling about. Uh,

1:27:47

everything is good until something major happens. I've had some health stuff go

1:27:55

on, you know, since I started at round fifty or so. Heart

1:28:00

that scarcoidosis you just had, You just don't think about planning on that.

1:28:05

I was you know, it wasn't until four years ago until I started,

1:28:10

you know, thinking that I was old. Yeah, but when the health

1:28:15

thing starts hitting, it's hard to plan for that. Yeah, Tom,

1:28:18

we agree, And I feel like, Uh, you go your whole life

1:28:24

and you you don't really pay too much attention to your health until fifty starts,

1:28:29

and then you're like, oh man, you wake up with a back, like where the heck did that come from? And you start paying attention

1:28:35

but you can reverse that, Tom, You can reverse everything for you is

1:28:40

you're just going to tell you about yoga. No yoga, Well used to

1:28:45

powerlift back in the eighties. I've been reading labels and doing vitamins and the

1:28:51

whole nine yards natural stuff since the eighties. Yeah, so you're hopefully back

1:28:59

to me. Used to have a place there in Milford that he used to

1:29:03

and he's the same way he's he used to work all his life. And

1:29:08

when you've done hard labor and all of that, your whole I got it.

1:29:14

You had an expert on some health stuff coming ahead, a great perspective of that, and that's true. And you know what really rattled me is

1:29:18

when I start seeing people that are my contemporaries that are having major health issues

1:29:24

certainly and maybe not here anymore. And then you're like, oh, yeah,

1:29:27

okay, now I gotta I gotta get to it right. Yeah.

1:29:30

Thank you Alex Eagan for doing what you did and Charlotte Man stepping in to keep us in line. On the other side, doctor FOMMI fair going to

1:29:35

talk about health issues and cardiovascular and sticking around and living better because it's about

1:29:41

living better. Sterling. Donna d Holme of the Red seven hundred WLW Cincinnati

News Traffic and Weather. News Radio seven hundred w l W Cincinnati. A

1:29:55

pulstal carrier gun down in northeast Ohio. With the two o'clock report, I'm

1:29:59

Sandy Collin breaking now, this happened north of Youngstown. Police in war And,

1:30:05

Ohio are investigating a fatal shooting of a postal carrier inside his truck yesterday

1:30:11

afternoon. ABC's Tessa de Tiro has what we know so far. Officers with

1:30:16

the Warren Police found thirty three year old Johntay Davis shot inside his postal van.

1:30:21

Evidence including the suspects vehicle, was recovered, and several individuals were taken

1:30:27

in for questioning. It's believed the victim and the suspects might have known one

1:30:30

another. Right now, there is no one in custody. Now, please

1:30:33

say they believe that shooting was targeted. The Postal Service is offering up to

1:30:38

a quarter million dollar reward for information that leads to the arrest of that man.

1:30:43

Now, the latest traffic in weather together on the Big One. Uh,

1:30:46

looks like we still got a little bit of a backup there on southbound

1:30:49

seventy five approaching the Brent spence Bridge. I don't see an indication for the

1:30:54

crash there anymore, so just residual backup. Just take an extra couple of

1:30:57

minutes at that location, zooming over to the east side, right around State

1:31:02

Route thirty two. We've got a crash on thirty two in Mount Carmel at

1:31:09

looks like Marjorie at Yates Lane. State Route thirty two and Yates Lane.

1:31:41

stepfather this week over an eviction in Cincinnati. The third person to die sixty

1:31:45

two year old Sheila Asher Hayes. Police said she and Shelby Carpenter, who

1:31:49

was also killed, they were targeted on Well Street. The shooter Dustin Bolan

1:31:55

then ran to nearby woods and took his own life. The court recres indicate

1:31:59

that the step father and son had an eviction hearing that morning, the Sun,

1:32:02

apparently being forced out of the home across the street from where Carpenter lived

1:32:06

and he owned that property. An armed man tried to rob the Hollywood Casino

1:32:12

last night in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, sending gamblers running in fear, forcing the

1:32:15

casino to shut down for a little over an hour. A witness told Channel

1:32:19

nine last night, cops came out of everywhere. We've seen a swat go

1:32:23

by. We've seen five different life squads. We've seen Kentucky Police, Ohio

1:32:29

Police, and of course every Indiana policeman in the neighborhood. A lot of

1:32:32

fear, but thankfully nobody was hurt. There were no shots fired. The

1:32:36

suspect's name hasn't been released. He was found outside the casino in a nearby

1:32:41

wooded area, unable to outrun the numerous law enforcers. In the NBA,

1:32:46

Radio seven hundred WLW. Do you she's done? I'm Sterling. Thanks,

1:33:43

right there you are? Yes, thanks, although your name you never know

1:33:48

Sterling. I've met because my niece's name is Sterling. So I've met six

1:33:54

others. I think were they all girls? Three were okay, but I

1:33:59

don't think they were. One was was her real name, and two were

1:34:01

entertainers. Yeah, Sterling k whatever his name right, Sterling case Yeah,

1:34:09

something like that. Yeah, and uh but the women had glass heels or

1:34:14

acrylic heels, and you know that just threw everything off. I mean yes,

1:34:17

Like one was on a golf course. It was like an outing and

1:34:19

it was like, Hi, I'm Sterling, would you want to be here?

1:34:21

And I'm like everybody in the cars like, dude, sterling and it

1:34:27

was totally not totally not anyway. Yeah, so uh here we are,

1:34:30

Uh try to live better. I mean that's sort of like been my New

1:34:33

Year's resolution. It's not just for myself to live better and to help people,

1:34:39

because I figured, why not we have the power of this fifty thousand

1:34:42

watters ken Brew would say, mother who thereame Flamethrower, plus the iHeart Radio

1:34:47

app. It's a big footprint. And is that we were talking about retirement.

1:34:51

We were talking about living better and hoping to live to a retirement.

1:34:56

One story in particular really piqued my interest, which is a guy trying to

1:35:00

lose weight so he can help with his fertility issues, to have a kid,

1:35:02

to have a life, and to be there for the future child.

1:35:05

And he's shed off a whole bunch of pounds half of his body weight direct,

1:35:10

which is insane. It's crazy. And someone who knows about living better

1:35:14

and sticking around and digging around in people's chest and so forth. She is

1:35:17

the CEO of Bentley Heart. She's an invasive cardiologist and back on the Big

1:35:23

One with Stirling and Donnade. Doctor Fommi Farrell, Welcome to seven hundred WLW.

1:35:27

How are you this afternoon, Angie? Well, thank you so much

1:35:30

for having me on your show. It's a pleasure. It's great to hear

1:35:33

your voice. How big of an issue is diet when it comes to healthy

1:35:42

hearts, cardiovascular systems and sticking around and living well in this life that we

1:35:46

have. Oh, it's incredibly important. It's one of the biggest determinants of

1:35:51

heart disease, and not just heart disease, your overall health and it plays

1:35:57

a huge role in your survival as well quality of life. Okay, so

1:36:01

I hi doctor Farah. So I am a vegan and I get made fun

1:36:06

of it on the daily I have from co workers and things like that,

1:36:12

and I think, yes, you do, only because it's that in the

1:36:15

stretch and you're always trying to you need to stretch and eat more vegetables.

1:36:19

No, but I am. I don't get the pleasure of talking to a

1:36:23

cardiologist on a daily basis. So being plant based, I have always everything

1:36:30

I've read helps a healthy heart. Do you know that to be true?

1:36:36

That is true, And as a matter of fact, according to the new

1:36:41

AHA, which is American Heart Assessation Guidelines, we do recommend more and more

1:36:45

plant based diet because one of the big reasons I think, and please tell

1:36:53

me if I'm wrong, the animal that clogs up your arteries, which travels

1:36:58

the blood to may extremities like your your heart and your brain. So if

1:37:02

it's lack of blood to the brain, it's a stroke. If it's lack

1:37:05

of blood to the heart, it's a heart attack. But those clogged arteries

1:37:10

are from cholesterol from other from animals eating animals, That is correct. So

1:37:17

animal based products will inherently have a lot more cholesterol than plant based you know,

1:37:25

foods. And so you're right that that plaque formation is called athrosclerosis.

1:37:30

That's essentially blockish build up that takes usually you know, a couple of years.

1:37:34

It forms gradually, yes, And the higher the content of cholesterol,

1:37:40

the higher the chance of that plaque building up over time. So then it's

1:37:44

like trying to get you know, water through a hose that's like thick with

1:37:47

mud or something. That's kind of how I envision it. But the animals

1:37:51

taste so good. If they're cooked, well that's a problem. It's sort

1:37:57

of funny but sort of true. At the same time, bacon still fifteen

1:38:00

years BayCon still sells good. How do you know what are the telltale signs,

1:38:05

because not everybody's seeing a cardiologist regularly. Usually that's a referral after there's

1:38:10

been an event, there's been some type of problem where, you know,

1:38:13

whatever it is. So how do you know leading up to that that there's

1:38:16

an issue and when do you need to start paying attention to these things and

1:38:19

getting stuff looked at, Doctor Farah, that is correct. You brought up

1:38:24

a very important point that unfortunately, by the time we get patients referred to

1:38:28

us by us, I mean cardiology clinics, the patient is already symptomatic or

1:38:33

are having some kind of an issue, or they've already had a heart attack.

1:38:36

I had a heart attack, and of course, like those signs would

1:38:41

be chest pain, shortness of breath, just lack of stamina, getting tired

1:38:45

easily. All of those are signs that being said, I will see.

1:38:48

The silver lining is that eighty percent of that is preventable if the patient comes

1:38:54

to us on time. So my encouragement to all our colleagues, like our

1:38:59

premier care provider colleagues and people who are first line that don't wait until your

1:39:04

patient comes with symptoms, and the same goes for the patients and the folks

1:39:10

who are listening to this, Like, you don't have to wait for that

1:39:13

symptom to show up to go see a carreologist. You should go before then,

1:39:15

especially if you have risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol,

1:39:20

diabetes, obesity, you know, family history, people who smoke alcohol.

1:39:26

All of those are risk factors. So if you're one of those, you

1:39:29

need to actually seriously consider seeing a carreology. It's just going to check up

1:39:32

something that you mentioned there about smoking. Right now, we have medicinal marijuana

1:39:38

in the state of Ohio. Weed is now legal here, there's edibles and

1:39:42

all those other things. But across the country, more and more people it's

1:39:45

been more normalized. It was already being used in one fashion or another,

1:39:48

but it's become much more common, and the inhalent portion of it is really

1:39:54

where the problem is. Though I've read also doctor Farra that even the edibles,

1:39:58

there's something inherently about the way it affects the body that can be a

1:40:01

problem for the heart, the cardiovascular system. What are you seeing and what

1:40:05

do you know about that? Whether it's cigarette or plain tobacco or wheat.

1:40:12

Yeah, it's just not good for you. Definitely not good for the cardiovascular

1:40:15

system. It is a toxin, you know, just like smoke a cigarette,

1:40:18

it's a toxin. So anytime we're introducing a toxin too the body,

1:40:23

it has an impact on your overall body, especially the cardiovascular system. It's

1:40:27

quite sensitive to stuff like that. You know, as you mentioned, it's

1:40:30

becoming more and more legalized in a lot of states, and so time will

1:40:33

tell the exact impact on the cardiovascular system. But as of right now,

1:40:36

we know it's not good. It's something we definitely encourage people to stay away

1:40:41

from. How you mentioned obesity? How heavy? How heavy? No?

1:40:48

No? No? No? So? How how big do you need to

1:40:56

be how no? Yes? How many pounds overweight? Is can considered obesity?

1:41:00

Now? And or when do you need to start looking at that?

1:41:05

Well, you know there's a scale we actually measured by BMI. Yeah,

1:41:10

and so body mass index exactly because you know, every individual is different.

1:41:15

Some people will have higher muscle masks, some people won't. Height matters,

1:41:19

and so BMI is the indicator of obesity, and so the number is twenty

1:41:26

four. Anything above twenty four point five is considered overweight, and the scale

1:41:30

goes on. Certainly, we don't want VMI A forty is a critical number

1:41:35

for us because that's considered morbidly OBEs and that's when you really increase your risk

1:41:41

factors of pretty much everything, particularly cardiovascular disease. So you know, that's

1:41:45

a number we don't want to see. And our goal, of course,

1:41:49

as cardiologis and all physicians, is to keep that BMI below twenty five.

1:41:54

Doctor Famio Farah was sterling and donade on the big when she's a cardiologist,

1:41:57

board sertified invasive cardiologist, and you can find her at fommy Jay Farah on

1:42:04

X. We'll tweet that out there already did. Actually she runs the Bentley

1:42:09

Heart Organization. How this might you might you can pass on this question.

1:42:15

But since I'm talking to a cardiologist who does heart surgery surgery, how crazy

1:42:21

is it to see a person's live heart? I've never I've never, right,

1:42:29

I mean it's probably normal for you, but what a what an intense

1:42:33

thing to look at? I would imagine. Oh, absolutely, it's I

1:42:38

tell everybody it's the most unique organ we have. It truly is spectacular.

1:42:45

You're never born with a heart, you know, like I, it's so crazy. The heart has its own automaticity, you know, it runs on

1:42:51

its own And you're right. Every time I'm inside somebody's heart, like it's

1:42:57

it's an exhilarating experience. It's something we never take for granted. Heart truly

1:43:01

is what keeps us alive, and we should respect that. When I was

1:43:05

a kid, my uncle it's been forty years ago now and he's no longer

1:43:09

with us, but he had open heart surgery and I remember going in there

1:43:12

as a little kid in the hospital and they had cracked his chest open and

1:43:16

they pried it open and they took that heart out and it was a quadruple

1:43:20

bypass at the time, and I remember they were slow to get him out

1:43:24

of the bed. It was obvious. I mean, you can't get much

1:43:26

more invasive than ripping your chest open and pulling your heart out, cleaning it

1:43:30

out. I don't know how to use that. If you use like an Auger. I don't know what happens, but they now get people out of

1:43:35

bed walking almost within a day or so. Maybe I don't know how this

1:43:40

is your business, said doctor Fair. I'm just curious how far have we

1:43:44

come with dealing with heart issues and getting people up and back active again,

1:43:46

because we've learned over time the sedentary time after a surgery is not good,

1:43:53

just the way it is for everything else. You're absolutely cracked. And from

1:43:57

a technological standpoint, we've come very far. First of all, after an

1:44:01

open heart surgery in my experience, all my patients, we usually have them

1:44:06

out of bed by that evening same day. So even though the patients would

1:44:12

be you know, they're hooked up to the ventilator, they have like all

1:44:15

these wires and tubes coming out of them, but we don't let them, you know, just stay in bed the same day. If the surgery happens

1:44:20

in the morning, depending on how well the patient is doing, we'll have

1:44:24

them up and out about, like at least sitting on their chair by that

1:44:28

evening. Are the statistics are the statistics? Still? Heart disease is the

1:44:34

number one killer of humans on this planet? Is that accurate? Very much?

1:44:40

So? Yes, you know, of course cancer is on the rise

1:44:44

at the moment, but yes, heart disease is the number one killer for both men and women here in the United States and also worldwide. So and

1:44:51

I Sterling and I talk about this off air all the time, and I

1:44:55

do want to bring it sometimes on the air. But having a positive attitude

1:45:00

meaning meaning don't listen to those negative thoughts in your head, has a direct

1:45:06

I talk about this in my yoga class too. If your mind is a

1:45:10

reflection of your body, and your body is a reflection of the mind.

1:45:13

If you live in positive thoughts, and I know nutrition is extremely important for

1:45:17

the health of the human but if you live in a place of powerful positive

1:45:24

thoughts, it does your heart good. Would you agree? I one hundred

1:45:29

present agree with that. And I see that every day in my patients.

1:45:32

You know, statistically speaking and from a research standpoint, scientific standpoint, your

1:45:41

mind has a direct impact on how well your body works. And that's no

1:45:45

different for the cardiovascular system. We know for a fact people who are depressed

1:45:49

and have mental illness, they suffer from cardiovascular disease. More so, depression

1:45:56

is a respector for cardiovascular disease. So yes, absolutely, your mindset.

1:46:00

How positive of a place you're living in matters for your overall health and definitely

1:46:03

for your cardybosset to our health. Great information, Doctor Fammi Farah from Bentley

1:46:08

Heart was sterling and donnade on the way, thank you for putting that more

1:46:11

eloquently. I'm trying to ask these questions to you, and I'm putting them

1:46:15

in the most parochial way possible, only because I don't get to talk to

1:46:19

heart surgeons all the time, and I have a million questions for you,

1:46:24

but I only am relegated to it just a couple today. You said something

1:46:29

interesting though, about the fact that depression and not feeling well about things feeds

1:46:35

into the problem with heart disease cardiovascular problems. But having a cardiovascular problem and

1:46:42

feeling sluggish will then feed into the depression. It's almost like a dog chasing

1:46:46

and eating itself in its tail scenario or am I delusional? You are so

1:46:51

crutched. I'm so glad you brought that up important point. You're right.

1:46:57

In fact, after somebody has a heart attack, they have a high chance

1:47:00

of going into depression, and we see that all the time, and so

1:47:04

it's like a vicious cycle. They're both related. If you are depressed,

1:47:09

you're more likely to get heart disease, and vice versa. If you have

1:47:12

heart disease, you're more likely to get depressed. So they both go very

1:47:15

much hand in hand, and they both need to be addressed. And if

1:47:18

you can cause your lie, I can talk to her forever. If you

1:47:23

can cause your body to be sick through your thoughts, you can heal your

1:47:28

body. Likewise, with the thoughts of positivity, I could rather see the

1:47:32

doctor than just think positives. I don't know that, I'm just saying chests,

1:47:38

Donna, I don't know. I think I'd like to go see the

1:47:40

doctor. Start there is what I'm saying. You can start there in that

1:47:44

positive and then go see doctor Verah for sure, but get your mind straight

1:47:47

first and try and bring the the A game to the doctors because they don't.

1:47:54

They have tools and they can heal people. But you got and from

1:47:57

the inside. But you got to do the work as well, doctor Fhah.

1:48:00

The final question here, because your time is short and it's me bad management of time. I'm not going to blame Donna. I'll take the hit.

1:48:06

But there was story here that was about this big guy who lost half

1:48:10

his weight and issues about fertility. How does weight and cardiovascular problem affect fertility

1:48:15

and making more people that can hopefully take care of us as we get old

1:48:18

and need help. Yes, erecchel dyssunction is actually directly correlated to cardiovascular disease.

1:48:26

I know that's the blood doctor flow exactly. Then will come with the

1:48:35

recchel dysfunction, and you know they won't realize that the problem is something much

1:48:40

deeper. It's actually cardiovascular because your circulation is not good and that's why I

1:48:45

caused it. So we uncover heart disease a lot with just that one diagnosis.

1:48:50

So yes, it is very much relating. That is crazy for me

1:48:57

because you could have ed and and the doctors can say that's a warning sign

1:49:01

that you've got heart heart issues. Your blood blood is not pumping the way

1:49:05

that it should. Can we have doctor Farah on again because I have a

1:49:09

1:49:13

active. She doesn't come back on the show. You ballroom dancing, you

me how to dance. You know what I mean? We shouldn't. That's

1:49:51

Phil pretty good stuff, I say so for sure. And that's where we
