Speaker 1: New month, New day in an extra hour as a
Speaker 1: bonus overnight tonight Stirling and Donna Bee hanging out seven
Speaker 1: hundred WLUB.
Speaker 2: I love the time change when it comes to the
Speaker 2: you know, when you gain an hour of sleep and
Speaker 2: it's lighter in the morning. It was literally dark until
Speaker 2: eight this morning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like the dark. I don't like the cold.
Speaker 1: If we could just pick out the try state and
Speaker 1: move it, or move the equator closer to here, if
Speaker 1: we could have that shift, the days would be balanced,
Speaker 1: the temperatures would be balanced. We could have a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl here. These are the things that bounce around in
Speaker 1: my brain.
Speaker 2: Did you get a lot of trick or treaders?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I had to be here.
Speaker 1: I oh, I had like three or four kids. And
Speaker 1: then as I was leaving, I saw some mothers like
Speaker 1: quickly coming and I went back in and grabbed a
Speaker 1: handful of candy, and I grabbed a handful for me,
Speaker 1: and then I left. There was no tintacker in the trees,
Speaker 1: there was no soap. I assume everything's okay. The crazy
Speaker 1: dog didn't cheose through the door, so you know.
Speaker 2: Well, we did have a of trick or treaters. We
Speaker 2: ran out of candy, and everybody on our street is
Speaker 2: so cute that you know, they have fire pits and
Speaker 2: they have music out and there. It was so fun
Speaker 2: and it was such a beautiful night out for Halloween
Speaker 2: for the kiddos.
Speaker 1: Perfect for this super cute And there's still some trigger treating,
Speaker 1: some beggars night stuff going on lot tonight, so we'll
Speaker 1: talk on that a bit later. Too, kind enough to
Speaker 1: give us some time. He's the boss at the Free
Speaker 1: Store Food Bank, Kurt Ryber Welcome back to seven hundred
Speaker 1: WLW with Sterling and Donnade.
Speaker 2: How is this?
Speaker 1: We've talked it seems for months now about budget constraints,
Speaker 1: money that was promised to food banks that was pulled
Speaker 1: in the first part of the year, and then now
Speaker 1: of course snap benefits and others, and then the government shutdown.
Speaker 1: It is clearly a Gargantauan situation you're dealing with at
Speaker 1: the Free Store Food Bank.
Speaker 4: Yes, hey, Sterling, and they say we should live in
Speaker 4: interesting times of that we are, you know, quite honestly,
Speaker 4: I think our team at Freestore has been I won't
Speaker 4: say gearing up for this, but we've anticipated this and
Speaker 4: and you know this car and community has rallied behind us.
Speaker 4: But yeah, we've seen an increase in in our customers,
Speaker 4: our neighbors coming in for food. We're seeing that, you know,
Speaker 4: across our six hundred plus pantry partner network, we're seeing
Speaker 4: about at increase in overall demand year over year, and
Speaker 4: just in the first three months of our fiscal year,
Speaker 4: we've seen twenty two hundred new families come into our
Speaker 4: the two markets that we operate, our Livery Street market
Speaker 4: and our Betailor market. And you know, I don't see
Speaker 4: any letup right now, and it's primarily not only due
Speaker 4: to the government's shutdown, but also to the inflationary pressures
Speaker 4: that we're all faced with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everything is more expensive. So, Kurt, do you see
Speaker 2: because I help out with the Cincinnati Animal Care and
Speaker 2: they had a post that you know, with the with
Speaker 2: the food, the food shortage, the government shutdown and things
Speaker 2: like that. People need dog food, pet food, at cat
Speaker 2: food and that kind of stuff. Do you provide some
Speaker 2: of that as well?
Speaker 4: We do not, but we have some partners that when
Speaker 4: we get that kind of product in, we ship that
Speaker 4: over to some partners that are able to distribute that out.
Speaker 4: Some of our pantries. We support six hundred pantries and
Speaker 4: the twenty kinds that we serve. Some of our pantries
Speaker 4: do get some of that product in. So I would
Speaker 4: encourage folks to go to our website Freestore Foodbank dot
Speaker 4: org and click on the fine food now. But some
Speaker 4: of the pantries will identify themselves as having pet food
Speaker 4: and things available for them.
Speaker 1: Talking to Kurt Ryber, he's the boss at the Free
Speaker 1: Store Food Bank with Sterling and Donnade on the big one.
Speaker 2: So what have they told you?
Speaker 1: I know that the state somehow was able to pull
Speaker 1: funds from some source in their banking and provide some
Speaker 1: help for some with snap benefits. It's not full. We
Speaker 1: don't know how long that's going to last. Does that
Speaker 1: benefit you and the Free Store Food Bank and your clients?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Actually, I mean it's starting with our friends as the
Speaker 4: Hamilton County commission I mean all three commissioners voted to
Speaker 4: reallocate some American Rescue Plan funds to the Free Store
Speaker 4: two hundred and twenty thousand dollars to be exact, and
Speaker 4: those funds are going to be coming to us shortly
Speaker 4: and will be used to purchase food for our Hamilton
Speaker 4: County neighbors.
Speaker 6: As you know, the.
Speaker 4: Governor Dwine and the legislature at Ohio has done through
Speaker 4: an executive order twenty five million dollars now seven of
Speaker 4: that will come to the food banks that serve the
Speaker 4: state of Ohio. So Freestar will benefit from some of
Speaker 4: those funds coming to us. And also so Governor Dwine
Speaker 4: has really stepped up in a big way. And Governor
Speaker 4: Governor Basher in Kentucky has also done an executive order
Speaker 4: that will allocate five million dollars of funds coming to
Speaker 4: the seven food banks, free Star being one of them
Speaker 4: that serve the Commonwealth of Kentucky. You know, those funds
Speaker 4: will be used to purchase food, and that really makes
Speaker 4: a difference because what we decided to do during the
Speaker 4: government shut as a result of the government shutdown and
Speaker 4: the loss of snap benefits is increasing the amount of
Speaker 4: food that our families can get when they come and
Speaker 4: shop at our betailor market or our Liberty market. So
Speaker 4: they can get between it's you know, somewhere between twenty
Speaker 4: and thirty percent more food. Because what we found is
Speaker 4: that when we talked to our customers, they said, geesez
Speaker 4: We'd love to come and get food, but we really
Speaker 4: don't want to come twice a month because you transportation
Speaker 4: is a huge barrier for them. So we said, why
Speaker 4: don't we increase the amount of food they can get
Speaker 4: a single visit. So today we opened up our betailor
Speaker 4: market as we do on every Saturday from ten o'clock
Speaker 4: to three o'clock in the afternoon. We saw the line
Speaker 4: was around the corner and down, you know, down the
Speaker 4: hallway here at free Store. But you know, they were
Speaker 4: coming in. They got all the frictions for their Thanksgiving meals.
Speaker 4: So they walked away with their turkey, their stuffing, their potatoes,
Speaker 4: you know, mac and cheese, all the comfort foods, cranber
Speaker 4: sauce and gravy. So they're they're walking out and you
Speaker 4: see the smiles on their faces and that that's just
Speaker 4: just so reinforcing to our team here at Freestore and
Speaker 4: you know, our wonderful volunteers.
Speaker 2: That's great, Kurt. And so you you mentioned, you know,
Speaker 2: SNAP benefits. Obviously, if I was somebody that was getting SNAP,
Speaker 2: I'm not getting him from this point on until the
Speaker 2: government reopens. What do I do? How do I how
Speaker 2: do I get you know, the thanks you.
Speaker 4: How do you make ends meet?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Sure?
Speaker 2: So how do I So? How do I go? How
Speaker 2: do I go about? Do I just show up? Do
Speaker 2: I have to have they just show up?
Speaker 4: Yeah? They're basically the families that can come to either
Speaker 4: either of our markets or to our one of our
Speaker 4: six hundred plus pantries basically have to be a two
Speaker 4: hundred percent or below the federal poverty level. So if
Speaker 4: you think of a family of four that's around sixty
Speaker 4: four thousand and sixty five thousand dollars, sounds like a
Speaker 4: lot of money on it, but it really isn't when
Speaker 4: you think about paying for transportation, childcare, housing, you know, utilities,
Speaker 4: and the like. Usually most of the families that we serve,
Speaker 4: probably about seventy to seventy five percent, are working. You're
Speaker 4: just not making enough money and to make ends meet
Speaker 4: and living paycheck to paychecks. So, you know, the folks
Speaker 4: that have been furloughed or laid off or have missed
Speaker 4: a couple of paychecks, they're in our you know, they're
Speaker 4: at our doorstep waiting for food, and you know, we
Speaker 4: treat them with dignating respect. We invite them to come
Speaker 4: in if they have any questions. Our staff is there
Speaker 4: to answer those questions for them, but more importantly, we're
Speaker 4: there to really reinforce and let them know that, hey,
Speaker 4: you know what, everybody needs a hand up every now
Speaker 4: and again.
Speaker 2: I don't know what they would do without places like
Speaker 2: the Free Well, yes, you know. So it's it's literally
Speaker 2: when you said, Kurt, how long is how long would
Speaker 2: the weight be if if the if the you know,
Speaker 2: line is around the building, how long would it be
Speaker 2: to be able to go and get your groceries?
Speaker 4: We started, We started, folks started lining up this morning.
Speaker 4: We didn't open up until, as I said, ten o'clock,
Speaker 4: but folks started lining up around seven forty five this morning,
Speaker 4: and I was out there talking to them and letting
Speaker 4: them know that we were going to have food. A
Speaker 4: few folks came saw the line and we're getting ready
Speaker 4: to leave, and I just said, I said, you know,
Speaker 4: we're going to be distributing turkeys and the fixing for
Speaker 4: a Thanksgiving meal between now and the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: So I said, come back at another time because our
Speaker 4: betailor market is open from nine o'clock until five o'clock
Speaker 4: Tuesday through Friday, and then on Saturdays, we're open from
Speaker 4: ten o'clock in the morning at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 4: And our Liver Street Market is open from eight o'clock
Speaker 4: in the morning till four o'clock in the afternoon Monday
Speaker 4: through Friday, downtown and over the line, so folks can
Speaker 4: come in and they can shop and they and they
Speaker 4: can get the things that their kids and their family
Speaker 4: is going to like. And they were just they're just
Speaker 4: really humbled by the outpour of support that this community
Speaker 4: has given us. We appreciate support that the Hamilton kind
Speaker 4: of Commission has given to us. We appreciate what you know,
Speaker 4: Governor Dwine and Governor Brashier has done for the state
Speaker 4: of Ohio and Kentucky. You know that that goes a
Speaker 4: long ways towards helping, you know, limit the fear, the
Speaker 4: anxiety of the families that we're serving, because you know,
Speaker 4: the unknown is what really is bothering people when they
Speaker 4: don't know when their staff benefits will be reinstituted. So
Speaker 4: we're going to try to bridge that gap and make
Speaker 4: sure that the families are not going without and they
Speaker 4: are receiving the benefits that they need. Uh And you know,
Speaker 4: the one thing that Governor Dwine has also done is
Speaker 4: they will have about twenty five million dollars of the
Speaker 4: funds that were I'm sorry, about eighteen million dollars of
Speaker 4: the funds that were available will go to families that
Speaker 4: are fifty percent or below the federal poverty level in
Speaker 4: one of their programs, and that's going to help bridge
Speaker 4: that gap as well. So it's a it's everybody working together.
Speaker 4: It's neighbors helping neighbors. And what I would also encourage
Speaker 4: folks if if they have a need, go to our
Speaker 4: website Freestore Foodbank dot org so they can find a
Speaker 4: pantry near them. It's open in the hours of their
Speaker 4: open operation. But also if an individual or a family
Speaker 4: is in a position where they can make a donation,
Speaker 4: now is the time to do that. Because every dollar
Speaker 4: that we get in can provide the equivalent of three meals,
Speaker 4: and ninety four percent of all the resources to come
Speaker 4: into the Freestore Food Bank go right to our neighbors.
Speaker 4: It's neighbors helping neighbors right here in our trictate community,
Speaker 4: and that's what makes our Greater Cincinnati area truly great US.
Speaker 1: Freestorefoodbank dot org Kurt riiber A CEO. He's the boss
Speaker 1: at the Free Store Food Bank. We appreciate you, your
Speaker 1: team and all that you do and all these other resources.
Speaker 1: Governor of Ohio of course, the wine, the Sheer Kentucky
Speaker 1: and other organizations, groups and individuals too. I mean, every
Speaker 1: little bit helps. Holiday season always seems top of mind,
Speaker 1: one of the things before we let you get out
Speaker 1: of here.
Speaker 2: I'm just curious because it has.
Speaker 1: Already been for the last couple of years, a groundswell
Speaker 1: of need for people in the midst of what was
Speaker 1: supposed to be an economic bounce back, even though there's
Speaker 1: been inflation. So now we're talking about overall some forty
Speaker 1: one million people. This is the thing that's hard to
Speaker 1: wrap my brain around. In the best of times, on average,
Speaker 1: over forty million Americans are regularly whether it's kids with moms,
Speaker 1: you know, hardworking families just struggling to get by for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, senior citizens, veterans, even forty one million Americans.
Speaker 1: It's nearly twelve percent of the US population is needing
Speaker 1: some type of help on a regular basis, with food
Speaker 1: from snap program, foodstamp program, whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 1: That shatters I mean my perception of the foundations of
Speaker 1: this nation and how powerful we are when we talk
Speaker 1: about how strong in our military might and everything else
Speaker 1: and making America great again and healthy again. If you
Speaker 1: can't get medical care and you can't get food, you're
Speaker 1: not very healthy.
Speaker 4: S Cerlian. We can do work, we can do better
Speaker 4: and and and the reality is this is that this
Speaker 4: Trice State community has rallied behind the free store, grew
Speaker 4: bank and stepped up when you know, we've we weathered
Speaker 4: the Great Recession, we weathered the pandemic. We will get
Speaker 4: through this government shutdown and the food stamp situation, uh
Speaker 4: by everybody helping and ployee together because you know, we
Speaker 4: look to create a hunger free, healthy and thriving community
Speaker 4: and we can't do without this carring community and the
Speaker 4: support that you all provide to us.
Speaker 1: Well, there's no questions of very big hearts, very big
Speaker 1: giving pockets and care in and around the Tri State,
Speaker 1: that is for sure. Kurt Rber the boss Freestore food
Speaker 1: Bank dot org. You can find out more, give and
Speaker 1: get some help if necessary too. Thanks for spending some
Speaker 1: time with us today. We know we got a lot
Speaker 1: going on.
Speaker 4: Hey Sterling, Donald great with you guys, and as always
Speaker 4: we appreciate the mega mega phone that Wow provides to
Speaker 4: us and allows us to get our message out and
Speaker 4: talk about uh, the need, but also how people can
Speaker 4: help because it is neighbors helping neighbors and together we
Speaker 4: will create a hunger free, healthy and thriving community.
Speaker 1: There you go appreciate where you do take care of yourself. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: that's looking at those numbers and I'm studying that. It's
Speaker 1: it's the ponderous.
Speaker 2: You know, He's right about it though. It's neighbors helping
Speaker 2: neighbors often times, and if you're down and out, you
Speaker 2: don't you know, feel good about life or whatever, go
Speaker 2: help somebody and it's going to make you feel better.
Speaker 2: That's step one really, absolutely, especially when there's so many
Speaker 2: I didn't know those numbers Sterling forty million on a
Speaker 2: regular day on a good during good times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot. That's a lot of people percent
Speaker 1: of America.
Speaker 2: And he and Kurt said, you know, basically the people
Speaker 2: that he sees often are are working parents.
Speaker 1: Either not able to work enough, not enough to skills
Speaker 1: to either find the job to pay them more, or
Speaker 1: because of circumstance and childcare cost or whatever. I mean
Speaker 1: the care it gets deep. It's not an easy solution, certainly,
Speaker 1: but I mean the land of plenty. We could feed
Speaker 1: the world. We talk about it, ADM slugline forever was
Speaker 1: what we feed the world. So not that this is
Speaker 1: on their shoulders. I love ADM. I don't need I
Speaker 1: don't need a big a conglomerate. All right, Norse, Sterling
Speaker 1: Doity coming back. We got a lot of fun. By
Speaker 1: the way, we'll talk on Halloween stuff it got. We're
Speaker 1: falling back tonight. By the way, yay Don is excited
Speaker 1: about the extra hour daylight in the morning. I still
Speaker 1: get up and it's dark, and then I go to
Speaker 1: bed and it's dark, and depending on my schedule, I'm
Speaker 1: still in the darker hell, I've been accused of being
Speaker 1: in the dark all the time. Actually, now that I
Speaker 1: think about it, it's Sterling Donna d coming back the
Speaker 1: Nation station on a beautiful Saturday, seven hundred WULW this
Speaker 1: weekend afternoon, the tri State November first, the falling back
Speaker 1: of the clocks. Now, we've been waiting for it all year.

Speaker 1: the morning.
Speaker 2: That's the best I am all here for every bit
Speaker 2: of it. I can't wait what happened to the whole?
Speaker 2: We're gonna leave it one way or the other way.
Speaker 2: I've talked about President Trump talked about this in his
Speaker 2: first term. Done, get it done. I'm the opposite of you.
Speaker 2: I like the change. I love it. Actually I want
Speaker 2: it sunnier in the morning. I do appreciate the extra
Speaker 2: hour because I've been working my tail off. Well, what
Speaker 2: do you do with it? Do you really sleep?
Speaker 1: I've never been able to get the extras and then
Speaker 1: and then the spring when we do it again the
Speaker 1: other way, I'm always so fearful that I'm gonna mess
Speaker 1: something up and not show up as promised as to appear,
Speaker 1: that I end up sleeping less. Even then, it's all
Speaker 1: going to kill me.
Speaker 2: Got your iPhone? You know exactly what time it is
Speaker 2: at all times.
Speaker 1: I have three clocks at my house yea to change.
Speaker 2: I car clock I have, Oh, I didn't count the
Speaker 2: car clock and the and the microwave in the stove.
Speaker 2: Those are the three.
Speaker 1: I got a couple. You're right, okay, So I have stove,
Speaker 1: I have a microwave. If I have a clock in
Speaker 1: the kitchen, that's three oh. I wonder I had these

Speaker 1: those like super sized hockey pucks. Yeah, in a couple
Speaker 1: of rooms. I don't know yet if they change on
Speaker 1: their own, it will really suck if they don't, because
Speaker 1: I don't remember how to change.
Speaker 2: Them, you know what. I honestly we were talking off air.
Speaker 2: I think I'm getting old. I did not recognize any
Speaker 2: costumes last night.
Speaker 1: Street nurse down the street. She was pushing a baby stroller.
Speaker 1: She had like a it was an anime kid thing,
Speaker 1: and then the other kid, who was a little older
Speaker 1: had and I was like, what's that?
Speaker 3: She goes, you won't know.
Speaker 2: What This one kid said to me, I said, what's
Speaker 2: this costume? And he goes, You're not going to know
Speaker 2: what it is? So I might how do we not know?
Speaker 1: And how did they know that we don't know? But
Speaker 1: the look on her face of like, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: I honestly feel like, because I'm not so so involved
Speaker 2: in all the superhero movies that are out all the time,
Speaker 2: I guess I don't. But I did notice these young girls.
Speaker 2: I had like three cute little girls that were Renaissance,
Speaker 2: the best women you know what wenches.
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't know if that's a good idea for
Speaker 3: the young girls.
Speaker 2: I didn't know. I didn't. I was like, are you
Speaker 2: with the other crowd? And they were like no, I said,
Speaker 2: there were just two other It was so cute and
Speaker 2: funny and strange at the same time.
Speaker 3: That's pretty awesome.
Speaker 1: And nobody was like snagging the bags as they were
Speaker 1: going through. They probably had like already like security and everything.
Speaker 1: Like when I was a kid, you always had to
Speaker 1: look out for older teenage kids who were just up
Speaker 1: to no good hooks.
Speaker 2: My sister was giving two and three. I'm like, can
Speaker 2: you save some candy for the kids that are coming down?
Speaker 2: But do you know what? I did see a couple
Speaker 2: of them. They they had pillowcases, remember, absolutely crap cases.
Speaker 1: It was like whatever, like, oh, I gotta get rid
Speaker 1: of anyone you use that, you use that. And then
Speaker 1: I had to look out for the older kids. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were they were crap kids. And then Mom would
Speaker 1: go through the hit. We don't have time to get
Speaker 1: in this. We'll get into like the parents searching through
Speaker 1: their kids candies. I'm still convinced Mom have h and
Speaker 1: we're looking for razor. Blade, So she was getting all
Speaker 1: the good candy and now they're looking for gummies of
Speaker 1: another kind. After the news, more Sterling and Donna Deep
Speaker 1: Beautiful Saturday afternoon, seven hundred w U l W in
Speaker 1: charge producing And uh did.
Speaker 2: We hear Matt?
Speaker 3: Reason it was a Matt Reeves was at Sandy Collins.
Speaker 2: I heard both early. No, I didn't hear Sandy I did.
Speaker 1: I don't know that could be Uh maybe at Blenhead
Speaker 1: trauma be the reason? Why could be too much candy
Speaker 1: last night?
Speaker 2: Uh, this is this I had.
Speaker 1: I just finished last year's Halloween candy around the like
Speaker 1: August around fireworks, around Ebon fireworks because we don't get
Speaker 1: that many kids. And then this year I worked last night.
Speaker 1: It's not often that I'm on the air on a
Speaker 1: thanks or h Halloween, Thanksgiving I'll be on too, And
Speaker 1: so now I have two extra bags. And I found
Speaker 1: a new candy but Heath bar which is old.
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, those used to be the best.
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize the bar. Yeah, I don't even
Speaker 1: remember if I ever tried it. It might be like
Speaker 1: as a kid that dark chocolate I hated. I hated
Speaker 1: anything that was like they put peanuts and was it
Speaker 1: mister Goodbar or something hated those?
Speaker 2: Oh man, those are the best, right, dark chocolate with peanuts.
Speaker 2: I'll take it. Once I grew up, I embraced the
Speaker 2: other and now I found the heat bar. It's horrible.
Speaker 2: Great for dentist though, because I think, yeah, they sticks,
Speaker 2: it's toffee. Yeah, I did not know that.
Speaker 1: I literally just opened whatever was in my hand and
Speaker 1: popped it into my head and took a big thing
Speaker 1: of coffee and I was like, well, this was really great.
Speaker 2: It's delicious. I used to go through I went through
Speaker 2: a Jolly Rancher phase and I went to the dentist
Speaker 2: and he stuck that thing and he was like, I
Speaker 2: was like, what's there, Jolly Rancher because it was sticky,
Speaker 2: and he just know that's called the cavity. I'm like,
Speaker 2: that's it. I am so done with Jolly Ranchers. I'm
Speaker 2: not eating again because they're sugar, sugar, sugar, they are.
Speaker 2: They're so good. I can have, you know, candy. We
Speaker 2: ran out of candy. I mean, you know, my sister
Speaker 2: was given everybody doubles and triples. I'm like, we ran out.
Speaker 2: I didn't even have one piece of candy. I that's
Speaker 2: you should see. That's done. I'll bring some. I didn't
Speaker 2: know that can only eat a certain kind. But back
Speaker 2: in the day Snickers, there was nothing better than a
Speaker 2: Snickers bar. How can you beat a Snickers bar? That's
Speaker 2: really difficult. It's got everything in there, that's true.
Speaker 1: It's either it's Halloween tonight or Triggers eating beggars night
Speaker 1: for some people around the tri stay too.
Speaker 3: We all brought the phones. Have a little fun with this.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about other stuff, but maybe we can, as
Speaker 1: you chime in, talk about the favor least favorite candies
Speaker 1: and all that. And parents. I remember my mom there
Speaker 1: was something going on where they were. There was rumors
Speaker 1: of you could bring your candy to the hospital to
Speaker 1: get an xt rade because people were somehow putting razor
Speaker 1: blades and like apples and stuff. Nobody wanted to get
Speaker 1: an apple in their bag anyway. It's like, Mom, you
Speaker 1: could have the apple blade or no blade. I don't
Speaker 1: want it. This is a candy day. I have to
Speaker 1: tell you this.
Speaker 2: So I was on a zoom yesterday for my work
Speaker 2: and we all had one from three to three thirty.
Speaker 2: It was our last for all of us our last
Speaker 2: zoom of the day. And Danny, who's the it guy,
Speaker 2: came in and he goes, you guys have to get
Speaker 2: potatoes because you put him put it next to your candy,
Speaker 2: your big jar of candy for the kids, and ask
Speaker 2: them do they want a piece of candy or do
Speaker 2: they want a potato? And he said every single one,
Speaker 2: one hundred percent when asked, the kid chose the potato.
Speaker 2: And I brought a potato last night. But but things
Speaker 2: were so hectic and it was so busy, I never
Speaker 2: asked one person.
Speaker 3: What's the point of having the I mean, I don't
Speaker 3: under candy.
Speaker 2: By the way, No it's not no imagine one individual potato.
Speaker 1: Or you could get little red potatoes. You could get
Speaker 1: those other little teeny minies.
Speaker 2: It was given out the big baked Yukon potato.
Speaker 1: Dude, where's the house, I'll go. I could do that now,
Speaker 1: throw some chops on the grill later in the world.
Speaker 2: So we all took pictures of our candy and potatoes.
Speaker 2: But what is the I mean, I don't understand it.
Speaker 2: But it was one hundred.
Speaker 1: Percent because they know they're getting candy everywhere else. I
Speaker 1: wonder how many potatoes ended up being tossed and thrown
Speaker 1: at other kids, and because you don't want to come
Speaker 1: home with that, Hey, I got a baked potato fores.
Speaker 2: Like I don't potato. It was as big ass. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I just did not understand it. And then every he's
Speaker 2: literally texted all of us this morning and said he
Speaker 2: was out of candy. No, he still had candy, and
Speaker 2: he had no more potatoes.
Speaker 3: So then what do you got to go back out here?
Speaker 8: It is.
Speaker 3: That is the weirdest thing ever I had. Uh.
Speaker 1: There was a neighbor about three blocks from the house
Speaker 1: that was a dentist. We lout in the apartments. The
Speaker 1: big houses were a couple of blocks away. The dentist
Speaker 1: would always give away uh, and we didn't we'd go
Speaker 1: down the block because they did all kinds of crazy
Speaker 1: big displays and so forth, which was awesome. It always
Speaker 1: had music, people like you were talking about in the
Speaker 1: neighborhood having brill out or whatever, barbecue pits.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was tremendous.
Speaker 1: But he'd give away little baby like a toothpaste and toothbrushes,
Speaker 1: and it had like, you know, the information about his
Speaker 1: practice on there, But who the hell wanted that? I
Speaker 1: mean an eight year old sterling is not interested. Nobody cares.
Speaker 3: I already have a dentist. I'm not going give me candy.
Speaker 2: You gotta tell you that he gets. He gets some
Speaker 2: props for ingenuity. You know, I think it's great. I mean,
Speaker 2: market yourself wherever you can. I gotta know where the
Speaker 2: potato idea came. I don't know where that came from.
Speaker 2: And it's funny now, I'm never gonna look at Halloween candy.
Speaker 2: Back in the day a ritual with us because there
Speaker 2: were a lot of kids in my family, Like I
Speaker 2: have a lot of brothers and sisters, and we used
Speaker 2: to do everybody meet in the living room, unpack your pillowcase,
Speaker 2: put your candy around, and then we'd bargain. Sure, literally,
Speaker 2: it'd be like monopoly with candy. It was a trade war.
Speaker 2: It was literally, I'll give you because reces and Snickers
Speaker 2: were the hot commodities. So if you had a mounds bar,
Speaker 2: you had to put some skittles with that in a
Speaker 2: mounds bar to get a reesis like some people would
Speaker 2: be kit cats. Nobody liked in my family.
Speaker 3: No really, Oh man, I should have been hanging out.
Speaker 2: You know what was the big score? The big candy.
Speaker 2: Back then it was Nope, that was a good one
Speaker 2: way Milky Ways Snickers those good. But do you remember
Speaker 2: those big Marion bars, the twisty caramel. They looked like
Speaker 2: a pretzel they were. You don't remember the Marathon bars.
Speaker 3: I didn't get it.
Speaker 2: That's a high end. One house gated at. One giant
Speaker 2: house gave marathon bars. Everybody would go to this house.
Speaker 2: So if you got a Marathon bar that was equal
Speaker 2: to four other candies.
Speaker 1: See these people, they'd have a like lemonhead to now Laters, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I sold in school between classes when
Speaker 1: I was a little kid.
Speaker 2: Uh Now and later were the bad.
Speaker 1: Nobody ever said now so you said it the way
Speaker 1: it's actually the name, But everywhere where I grew up
Speaker 1: it was now Laters. I don't know where that went.
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize that. I read it once. Somebody
Speaker 1: was like, what do you call it now later? Unless
Speaker 1: everybody else calls it now.
Speaker 2: Later, now and later because it lasts for so.
Speaker 1: Long unless you gnaw on it, and then it ends
Speaker 1: up like your jolly ranch. Yeah, your teeth five one, three, seven, nine, seven,
Speaker 1: eight hundred, the big one. Curious about your candy? Situation.
Speaker 1: Have you given away potatoes? The other thing I could
Speaker 1: think it is weird, like Randy Michaels who used to
Speaker 1: own and run like what was j Core Clear Channel
Speaker 1: and in a minute, iHeart and so forth. Years ago,
Speaker 1: I remember hanging out and he had what I've now
Speaker 1: improvised and started to is a potato cannon, which would
Speaker 1: be that would be great as ammunition to like fire
Speaker 1: off the like potatoes.
Speaker 2: But I am dangerous though. Well it doesn't you don't
Speaker 2: have to fire it at people. Well what where would
Speaker 2: you fire it? In the woods? You're getting somebody who's
Speaker 2: in the wood, squirrels and rabbits, and.
Speaker 1: Some random squirrel gets hit by a flying potato, I'd
Speaker 1: say its time was up. I mean, that's just the
Speaker 1: way it goes. Man, Seriously, what you.
Speaker 2: Immediately go to the darkness, You're gonna kill a squirrel. Listen,
Speaker 2: those potatoes are heavy, and if they're being launched out
Speaker 2: of a cannon, you could really hurt somebody one pipe.
Speaker 2: You know you can make it. I remember that potato
Speaker 2: cannon thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah see, yeah, you get like a little red potatoes
Speaker 1: would be easier. Bruising is different and so for five
Speaker 1: one three, seven seven, eight hundred, the Big One if
Speaker 1: you're on the iHeartRadio app stry, which my mom does,
Speaker 1: so you can't. I mean she has trouble with other
Speaker 1: like she'll be can you.
Speaker 2: Fix the time? All the stuff?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she's texting and she's listening now, probably going
Speaker 1: why is he talking about me again?
Speaker 3: I don't sound that mom Sterling. Yeah, hey, mom Sterling.
Speaker 2: Let's see.
Speaker 1: We got a Raphael first and then Mark was Sterling
Speaker 1: and Donnade on the Big One.
Speaker 2: Rafael, how are you?
Speaker 9: What's going on y'all? How's everything all good? Hey?
Speaker 2: Anybody in your neighborhood give away potatoes? Be night or
Speaker 2: anything else weird like that toothbrushious?
Speaker 10: Well, no, no potatoes, but there was one neighbor and
Speaker 10: she gave way pork chops, So I don't know what that.
Speaker 2: Oh, my good Sterling would love that. I would visit
Speaker 2: that house slightly hanging out. I bring potatoes.
Speaker 10: Well they were dipped in chocolate, so I don't know
Speaker 10: what that was about.
Speaker 9: But anyway, I don't know the candy.
Speaker 10: Yeah, my cavities are jumping up and down right now
Speaker 10: as we speak. But a good shot out sister down
Speaker 10: on that marathon yeah, waited go.

Speaker 2: right there. And they were the they were the full
Speaker 2: marathon bars. Not the party was given.
Speaker 10: Those miniatures or half thousand, it was the full ones.
Speaker 10: And it would take you, they would take you a
Speaker 10: marathon to eat it because the caramel and the chocolate
Speaker 10: and plus they were like maybe a foot long.
Speaker 9: I don't know, but that's a good one.
Speaker 2: Candies, yes, it was right right.
Speaker 9: Did you guys ever get the chunky bar?
Speaker 6: Oh?

Speaker 1: it back.
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, and a very funny story.
Speaker 6: Thank you.

Speaker 1: They took it for a joy ride. The insurance company

Speaker 1: thing as a total loss. And that afternoon, if I'm
Speaker 1: not mistaken, cops called and said, we found your car
Speaker 1: in an alley. They just took it for a joy
Speaker 1: ride and left it trashed. And they were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not paying for the whole thing. Just one more day,
Speaker 1: Just one more day you would have been paid. Let's
Speaker 1: get Martha and Bridgetown quickly before we stopped for your

Speaker 14: he would have us the thought dogs on this this
Speaker 14: thicket and then we he would buy I don't know
Speaker 14: how many gallons of apple cider and he would have
Speaker 14: it was like a party, and everybody started like with
Speaker 14: him and and it was such a joy to witness
Speaker 14: happy people with and it wasn't candy. It was like
Speaker 14: a hot dog with mustard or kept up or whatever
Speaker 14: you wanted, a.
Speaker 1: Potato at one house, apple hot dog at your uncle's place,
Speaker 1: you know. And then I get nowt in a marathon.
Speaker 14: I know, well, I was just honored to help them
Speaker 14: get you know, stuff ready and stuff. And he was
Speaker 14: actually a physician. He was tall, and he would cut
Speaker 14: off his day on Halloween halfway so that he could
Speaker 14: make sure that the hot dogs stand was ready to go,
Speaker 14: and while the episoder was ready, and I mean it
Speaker 14: was it was different, but fun kid knew where to

Speaker 1: goes now straight away doctor and Romaker talking sleep disorder,
Speaker 1: dysfunction and falling back in time tonight.
Speaker 3: I don't know where the hell the hour goes.
Speaker 1: It's Stirling and Donnade, home of the best Bengals coverage
Speaker 1: on those football bear Cats with a ten to fifteen
Speaker 1: kickoff tonight seven hundred falling back tonight we get a
Speaker 1: next hour. I don't know where it goes. I don't
Speaker 1: know where the time really started. Does anyone really know
Speaker 1: what time it is? And asking that for a year?
Speaker 1: I love it. And uh, you sleep with the extra.
Speaker 2: Hour, Well, it's you know, I have trouble sleeping period
Speaker 2: and it's so hard, but I do like to add
Speaker 2: the extra hour because I will just lay and so
Speaker 2: you wake up at the same time.
Speaker 1: But then you just take that hour and just sort
Speaker 1: of like meditate kick Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Mean I meditate most days, so you know, I like
Speaker 2: an extra hour before I have to get up and
Speaker 2: start doing stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I try it. I mean it's weird.
Speaker 1: I don't like when I was a kid and you know,
Speaker 1: teenager through college, I would just wake up and roll
Speaker 1: right out of bed into whatever I had to do.
Speaker 1: I like having hours of time to like just last for.
Speaker 2: A second, you gotta I watched the whole thing with uh,
Speaker 2: who's the guy from Amazon Bezos? Yes, Jeff Bezos, and
Speaker 2: he said I like to putter in the morning, and
Speaker 2: I like to read all my papers. I like to
Speaker 2: I do the same. I love, like, you know, having
Speaker 2: a cup of tea or a cup of coffee and
Speaker 2: tell out. So when the time change is here's what happens.
Speaker 2: I'll get up, I'll look at the phone and it'll
Speaker 2: be like five instead of six, and I'll go, oh, man,
Speaker 2: I got an extra hour, and I'll roll over and
Speaker 2: just try and fall back to sleep. Good for you.
Speaker 1: I do not have that experience historically. I just wake
Speaker 1: up and I'm awake, and then I'm like, well, now
Speaker 1: what do I do?
Speaker 2: I said, I try to go back to that.
Speaker 1: But you've seemed so bessful, and we were talking about
Speaker 1: it off the air, and you deal, I love the
Speaker 1: extra hour.
Speaker 2: It was the first thing out of your mind. I
Speaker 2: love the extra hour. I love the extra hour, and
Speaker 2: I like it being sunny in the morning. Eight o'clock
Speaker 2: this morning, it was.
Speaker 1: Still dark out, always sunny, always fill with great information
Speaker 1: and a woman who knows what to do with the
Speaker 1: extra hour because she studies the sleep. She's a professor
Speaker 1: a clinical of a clinical direction at University of Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Medical Center Sleep Medicine Sciences.
Speaker 3: She's the boss. She's doctor Ann Romaker.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to seven hundred WLW with Sterling and Donnade.
Speaker 1: What do you do with that extra hour tonight? Are
Speaker 1: you rested, relaxed? You like me in search of like
Speaker 1: the dead letter, knie moy and miserable.
Speaker 13: It depends on the day, you know.
Speaker 11: Some years, if I've been kind of sleep deprived, I
Speaker 11: roll over and go back to sleep, and others.
Speaker 13: I'm awake and I go down and I.
Speaker 11: Start reading the paper and I put her around and
Speaker 11: I think, oh, I'm just wasting this time.
Speaker 13: I should be doing something useful, but I.
Speaker 2: Don't have to because it's an extra That's right, That's
Speaker 2: exactly fight well, that's how I look at it.
Speaker 3: You have to work on that.
Speaker 1: So we've talked over the years, doctor Romaker about the
Speaker 1: health ramifications, because a lot of people it's like, we
Speaker 1: just don't like emotionally to get up and have it
Speaker 1: be dark when we go to work or school or whatever,
Speaker 1: and then you come home and then it's dark on
Speaker 1: the way home. That is emotionally taxing. It's depressing a
Speaker 1: lot of people with seasonal affected disorder or whatever that
Speaker 1: goes along with that. But car crashes happened, heart attacks happen,
Speaker 1: whether you spring your head or fall back. What is
Speaker 1: the gen as of that problem? Because it just seems
Speaker 1: to me it's just an hour. How can it be
Speaker 1: so deadly and problematic?
Speaker 11: Because your brain and your body know that it's not
Speaker 11: supposed to be up, it's not supposed to be doing
Speaker 11: what it's doing right then, you know, when you didn't
Speaker 11: have clocks, right, you just got up and you did
Speaker 11: your thing when you had to do it, Your your
Speaker 11: biorhythms just sort of got into it the way the
Speaker 11: planet was working, and you just did your thing. So
Speaker 11: when we decided, when we invented clocks and we invented toime,
Speaker 11: we sort of started marking time in a more more.
Speaker 13: General way.
Speaker 11: We came up with this standard time to match the
Speaker 11: way our bodies worked. So every time we change it,
Speaker 11: we're changing it from you know, when we go to
Speaker 11: daylight savings time, it's not the way the body generally works.
Speaker 11: But once you get used to it and you change back,
Speaker 11: now you you know it's not it's not what it's
Speaker 11: now gotten used to. We know that when you are traveling,
Speaker 11: for instance, your sleep can change and you you can
Speaker 11: kind of get used to about an hour a day
Speaker 11: when you're young, when you get older, it may take
Speaker 11: three or four days. But you know, every organ in
Speaker 11: your body has a clock, and they don't all change
Speaker 11: at the same rate. So like if you make a
Speaker 11: big trip, it can take three months before all of
Speaker 11: your all of the systems in your body are now
Speaker 11: back on the same clock. So we are, you know,
Speaker 11: we're really a complicated organism. There's lots and lots and
Speaker 11: lots of parts and lots of systems and they all
Speaker 11: have to work together, and if they're off, even by
Speaker 11: a little bit, we don't feel good.
Speaker 2: Doctor Ann, what would you suggest how to quiet the mind?
Speaker 2: Because I wear myself out in the day, I really,
Speaker 2: I really do. I work out, I meditate, I have
Speaker 2: a full job and other things, and I at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, I have no problem falling asleep
Speaker 2: for the most part. But I wake up like at
Speaker 2: midnight or one, and I am wide awake and my
Speaker 2: brain is firing at all cylinders and I literally have
Speaker 2: to put on my this is terrible because it's blue
Speaker 2: light and everything else my iPhone and I'll put on
Speaker 2: like a Frasier episode, which is my favorite sitcom, and
Speaker 2: I'll have it on in the background to try and
Speaker 2: just have the noise, so it quiets my mind a
Speaker 2: little bit, but it also wakes me up at the
Speaker 2: same time. What would you suggest doing.
Speaker 13: Well, actually, what you're doing is actually kind of close
Speaker 13: to something that would work.
Speaker 11: How about that instead of using it on your phone,
Speaker 11: cast it onto the TV or cast it onto the
Speaker 11: wall so it'll be far enough away that the blue
Speaker 11: light won't bother you. Well, I used to be farther
Speaker 11: away from it so that the blue light doesn't actually
Speaker 11: hit your rut out that close and reset your clock.
Speaker 11: The other thing to do is just to set it
Speaker 11: so that you've just got noise in the background, so
Speaker 11: you can, you know, just block the picture and just
Speaker 11: have audio. Most people do who need noise in the
Speaker 11: background do better with something like a noise machine, you know,
Speaker 11: where you just you can pick which you want to
Speaker 11: listen to, whether it's.
Speaker 2: Waves or rain sounds. I do put rain sounds on,
Speaker 2: or you know, have that go all the time.
Speaker 13: Have it going all the time, right, but.
Speaker 2: Then it changes from one one thunderstorms and it gets
Speaker 2: louder and wakes me up, or you know, the birds
Speaker 2: will come in.
Speaker 11: And well, it depends on it depends on what you use,
Speaker 11: because there are a number of alarm clocks that will
Speaker 11: just have five settings and they stay the same all night,
Speaker 11: so that when you wake up, you have the same
Speaker 11: constant noise to you know, go back to sleep with.
Speaker 11: I've had some other people who picked podcasts and that
Speaker 11: they they'll even you know, record them or have them
Speaker 11: on and it's podcasts. I've had a few of them
Speaker 11: who tell me they do great with it in another language.
Speaker 13: Somebody who's just got a.
Speaker 11: Very melodious voice, so they don't really listen to what
Speaker 11: they're saying, but they just like, you know, the timber
Speaker 11: of this, they just listened.
Speaker 1: There were so many of my classes in school that
Speaker 1: it was just like they were talking another language.
Speaker 3: Anyway. I'm like, I have no idea what they're talking about.
Speaker 2: I've never heard the word melodious used melody as a verb,
Speaker 2: and that is pretty amazing.
Speaker 3: I was strong. I will embrace that.
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm.
Speaker 13: Married to a musician. I'm all over the melodious.
Speaker 2: Well, I was married to a musician and I never
Speaker 2: heard that either.
Speaker 1: You know, but there was something about that, the melody
Speaker 1: and the rhythm of music, and that is function of
Speaker 1: our life, from our heartbeat and our brain and everything else,
Speaker 1: and you mentioned other elements in our body. Organs all
Speaker 1: have their own clocks. Are they different clocks? Is it
Speaker 1: music related? Because the music outside there is a rhythm
Speaker 1: to the birds and animals. We are just a part
Speaker 1: of that too, yes, well.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and your brain. There's something called the you know,
Speaker 13: the slow oscillator.
Speaker 11: So all of our rhythms actually are entrained to the
Speaker 11: slow deep oscillator that sort of starts off with one
Speaker 11: to two cycles per second, and it's just slowed in there, and.
Speaker 13: All the other rhythms will sort of come off of that.
Speaker 11: And so there, yeah, there, that's where you have all
Speaker 11: sorts of music and other things that help us slow down.
Speaker 11: And it does help us sort of entrain to a
Speaker 11: slower rhythm. It helps us get together, It does help
Speaker 11: all of nature sort of does it in music. The
Speaker 11: whole planet does sort of vibrate along sort of various frequencies.
Speaker 11: But I'm not going to as a sleep physician, I'm
Speaker 11: not going to. I really not qualified to go into
Speaker 11: the metaphysical aspects.
Speaker 1: I just thought, you know the one I thought, I'm great.
Speaker 1: By the way, Doctor Anne Romaker is the boss of
Speaker 1: the University of Cincinnati, a medical sleep center and talking
Speaker 1: about the falling back in time and how it affects
Speaker 1: us and so forth. You mentioned this slow oscillator. It
Speaker 1: sounds like something that like my mom would tell me
Speaker 1: that when she went to get her car fixed, they
Speaker 1: told her they needed to replace that, like the flux capacitor.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I think you need to leave that.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a legit spot for you to
Speaker 1: be getting your car fixed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got a slow oscillator.
Speaker 1: It's going to take us two three days, and the
Speaker 1: tariffs have jacked up the price.
Speaker 3: It's too much.
Speaker 2: What do you think it means? Like, you know, doctor Anne,
Speaker 2: because you're human, you're also a sleep expert. When you
Speaker 2: know I can't fall asleep. I wake up at midnight
Speaker 2: and I can't back to sleep. And you know if
Speaker 2: you go and eat a little something it will put
Speaker 2: you to sleep well, And because I know you're not
Speaker 2: and I don't want to, but I don't want to also,
Speaker 2: you know, sit and toss and turn for two or
Speaker 2: three hours. What is it about, like eating cereal or
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Something that helps you go
Speaker 2: to fall back asleep?
Speaker 13: Well, most of us don't get up and eat. So
Speaker 13: I have never gotten up at night and eaten anything,
Speaker 13: So you.
Speaker 2: Shirling is nodding at me the entire time I got
Speaker 2: cheerios yogurt.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a hotel or someplace thinking of a
Speaker 1: summer house in the futures that crack my chest plate open.
Speaker 3: But anyway, go ahead, go ahead, I'm sorry.
Speaker 11: So generally we do know that carbohydrates, you know, people
Speaker 11: after after eating carbohydrates are more likely to be sleepy
Speaker 11: during the day. And that may be something that you
Speaker 11: know you're looking for, or it can be a learned behavior,
Speaker 11: especially if.
Speaker 13: You know and certain families.
Speaker 11: Growing up, they'll have you know, if you got up
Speaker 11: during the night, your parents or whatever say we'll here
Speaker 11: have a snack, and people you know, you start associating
Speaker 11: the snack with relaxing and glass to sleep. That can
Speaker 11: become a self fulfilling prophecy. Yes, but it's kind of
Speaker 11: better to it's it's healthier and for a couple of
Speaker 11: other couple of reasons to use something else, because eating
Speaker 11: at night it throws off a bunch of other biorhythms.
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, that's when your body is supposed to
Speaker 2: rest from digestion and everything else.
Speaker 11: God is not supposed to be at work, and you're
Speaker 11: supposed to write, and you're supposed to be repairing things.
Speaker 11: You're supposed to be at rest, and you're you're not
Speaker 11: supposed to be getting sugar. There that you're what you're
Speaker 11: eating then sort of goes directly to.
Speaker 2: I'm a mess. I am a mess. But I mean
Speaker 2: it's not.
Speaker 11: So it would actually doing things like there's something called
Speaker 11: hasa gentle Yoga which actually helps you go to sleep,
Speaker 11: and you know you can learn that on YouTube.
Speaker 13: Doing that in the middle of the night to help
Speaker 13: you go back to sleep.
Speaker 11: This is really going to put on the deep gong
Speaker 11: sort of thing that's sort of nice.
Speaker 2: No, this is actually getting comical because I am a
Speaker 2: yoga instructor. To I swear talk, I am your problem child,
Speaker 2: talk to her, and but I do I do remember
Speaker 2: and if I can remember to not forget this, Uh,
Speaker 2: the heart chakra or the chakras when you do it
Speaker 2: on YouTube and you you put that om and they
Speaker 2: have that which will connect to one of your chakras
Speaker 2: that you need. And maybe I should do my intuition chakra,
Speaker 2: the third eye chakra because my mind just wakes up
Speaker 2: so much that it would be good to play that
Speaker 2: instead of for some cereal or something particle.
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of the cereal, though. Chakra or no chakra,
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the chakra is whatever. I
Speaker 1: went out with a girl.
Speaker 2: Named Chocolates, and many wheels you have in your body
Speaker 2: in the seven major centers, they're called chakras, just helping you.
Speaker 1: Out, and Lord knows I need the help, doctor an Romaker.
Speaker 1: I'm curious also about about like say, shift workers. I
Speaker 1: mean here at the radio station. You know Tom Brennaman's up,
Speaker 1: he goes to bed or gets up about the time
Speaker 1: I'm going to bed oftentimes, and you know, doing mornings,
Speaker 1: and you got like sloany, then he got well, all
Speaker 1: of us at different times of the day, all the
Speaker 1: way through with Edd and Rock and then Lance and
Speaker 1: then me, Gary, Jeff, Dan Carroll, et cetera. All these
Speaker 1: different people different times. You working in the University of Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: and you think emergency rooms weird schedules with doctors, nurses.
Speaker 1: There are people that have these habits or train themselves
Speaker 1: to be able to navigate the schedule of a different time.
Speaker 1: Are some people more maybe able to navigate that and
Speaker 1: train their bodies compared to others, or some people just
Speaker 1: not wired that way. Is there something that you can
Speaker 1: do to help maybe mitigate some of the pain and
Speaker 1: suffering that's associated with it as you maybe drive around
Speaker 1: or feel overly tired during the day when you should
Speaker 1: be up doing something.
Speaker 11: Actually, you hit the nail on the head. Some people
Speaker 11: biologically are able to do it and some people can't.
Speaker 11: And so you'll see between the ages of forty and
Speaker 11: fifty they will generally sort themselves out and find another job.
Speaker 11: And so there are people who can do it, and
Speaker 11: they are able.
Speaker 13: To trying to wait are comfortable.
Speaker 2: I'm not one of those people say drinks and not alcohol.
Speaker 13: Drinks not alcohol, but you know, chocolate milk could be good.
Speaker 3: I love chocolate.
Speaker 11: So, but people who there are a number of people
Speaker 11: who are adaptable and they can, you know, help them.
Speaker 13: They can.
Speaker 11: Adapt to a schedule. There are some who do it
Speaker 11: readily and there are some who just can't. But if
Speaker 11: you're one of the people who can be adaptable, you
Speaker 11: follow a regular schedule and then something that will help
Speaker 11: with those for all of us who are just going
Speaker 11: to move to the new.
Speaker 13: Times schedule tomorrow. Light exposure is a big deal.
Speaker 11: So like tomorrow morning, when you get up, one of
Speaker 11: the things that will be very helpful is to turn
Speaker 11: on all the lights in the room that you're in.
Speaker 11: Get bright light for at least thirty minutes of the
Speaker 11: first sixty minutes that you're up. So when people who
Speaker 11: are working shift work, they need to use bright light
Speaker 11: for when they're getting for what their morning.
Speaker 13: Is going to be.
Speaker 11: And the biggest, the biggest thing for them if they can,
Speaker 11: is to keep the same schedule on their off days
Speaker 11: as when they're working. And that becomes easier as you
Speaker 11: get older. It's very hard to do that when you
Speaker 11: have things to do with your family and of course
Speaker 11: your children and you know your the rest of your
Speaker 11: family tends to stay on the day shift and that's
Speaker 11: harder to uh. And you still want to go and
Speaker 11: interact with them. So that's where the biggest problem is
Speaker 11: for people doing shift work is that they have to
Speaker 11: keep going back and forth rather than just staying at one.
Speaker 13: You know, one day or night shift.
Speaker 2: It makes sense.
Speaker 1: Always great information, UH and you know you do good
Speaker 1: things where it's helping people with snoring or sleep at
Speaker 1: NIA the excess of daytime sleepiness, a restless leg syndrome.
Speaker 1: Wan to talk about that sometime with them hoppy legs
Speaker 1: or whatever else.
Speaker 2: They go pair socks. There you go.
Speaker 1: That helps as well. Always a pleasure to talk to you.
Speaker 1: People can find out more good. You see how search
Speaker 1: sleep medicine or doctor roadmaker and you can find doctor
Speaker 1: and roadmaker. Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy
Speaker 1: the extra hour. I will try to embrace the getting
Speaker 1: up and just soaking it in and then we'll see
Speaker 1: how it goes. All right, take care, doctor and roadmaker.
Speaker 1: You see how sleep medicine boss.
Speaker 2: There you goelted from that talking about this leap, well,
Speaker 2: I mean it's not good for people driving right now listening.
Speaker 2: I mean, I really am going to remember the chakra
Speaker 2: thing because that did help me.
Speaker 3: I could use an adjustment.
Speaker 2: I mean, if I could just get the six hours
Speaker 2: full six hours. Where do you go to get the
Speaker 2: seven hours? You go to YouTube. All you have to
Speaker 2: do is put in hard chakra heart chakra sound music,
Speaker 2: hard shock, shaka smart. That's a basketball coach, totally different thing.
Speaker 2: Stirling Donna d coming back four thirty to report Matt
Speaker 2: Reese has no Saturday afternoon. Bear Cats play here tonight,
Speaker 2: seven hundred.
Speaker 1: Afternoon in the Tri State. Skirling and Donade hanging out.
Speaker 1: Glad you're along, whatever you're doing. Falling back tonight, get
Speaker 1: an extra hour to sleep if you if you can
Speaker 1: or not. And maybe you don't even have to touch
Speaker 1: any clocks in this modern world, which is nice.
Speaker 2: You got the microwave and you got the stove. You
Speaker 2: got to do those two and the car clock. But
Speaker 2: usually it's just like.
Speaker 3: A just it's a correct day.
Speaker 2: Like daylight savings, enter time, standard time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or you forget and then to show up everywhere early.

Speaker 1: leg of the round of sixteen taking on Columbus and
Speaker 1: that's up at their place lower dot Com Field, downtown Columbus,
Speaker 1: and the hell is real, I guess part two of
Speaker 1: that and lots going on, so, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: and then the hooday one o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Speaker 2: Last Sunday was heartbreaking. I left right before the end
Speaker 2: of the game. I got to I was playing tennis
Speaker 2: and I got to Harper and literally they said, did
Speaker 2: you see I said, yeah, the Bengals were up. No
Speaker 2: they lost.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was not good.
Speaker 2: It's bad.
Speaker 1: Blacko's got the shoulder things. So hopefully he's sort of questionable,
Speaker 1: maybe a question mark for tomorrow, but hopefully he's feeling
Speaker 1: good and if not, Jake Browning hopefully get his mind
Speaker 1: right with his body and function since he's had a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks to reevaluate and sort of put it
Speaker 1: back together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope if he does go in that he
Speaker 2: he can redeem himself because that's got to be hard,
Speaker 2: you know. Speaking of which, because you see football, I
Speaker 2: was I'm normally on now Saturday nights nine to midnight
Speaker 2: with my relationships. Yeah, and it's trying to fix people. Well,
Speaker 2: we just talk about what's important, because we know that
Speaker 2: the quality of your life is determined by the quality
Speaker 2: of your relationships. So it's important to like dive in
Speaker 2: and figure out what's going on with not just your
Speaker 2: spouses and not just you know, but your mom, your mom,
Speaker 2: your the daughter, mom, the the dad's son, you know,
Speaker 2: every relationship that you have, including coworkers, which we're going
Speaker 2: to dive into next Saturday night. But we had a
Speaker 2: last Saturday. We had a funny topic because I was
Speaker 2: watching this Instagram video where this guy went up all
Speaker 2: these guys were shopping at a big box store, right,
Speaker 2: and he went up and said, how a scale of
Speaker 2: one to ten, he asked all these guys, how fun
Speaker 2: is it to shop with your wife at you know,
Speaker 2: fill in the blank, costco wherever you want, a home
Speaker 2: depot whatever. Nine out of ten said, what's less than zero?
Speaker 2: They didn't like shopping with their their partners, what they're
Speaker 2: like their girlfriend whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't think most guys shop for fun. We shopped
Speaker 1: to get our stuff and go home.
Speaker 6: I mean.
Speaker 1: Shopping and driving cars which or trucks whatever is I
Speaker 1: mean that's enjoyable.
Speaker 3: Then it's like, let's get a deal done in go home.
Speaker 2: Yes, I understand that, but if you hate it so
Speaker 2: much on a scale of one to ten and it's
Speaker 2: a zero, I mean all the guys asked, all the
Speaker 2: guys that were asked said zero, right or what or worse?
Speaker 2: Except for this one guy where he was like, oh,
Speaker 2: I like it. Why would you do something? Why? And
Speaker 2: if like so, if I was with a guy and
Speaker 2: he hated doing it like that, I would say go
Speaker 2: home and I'll take care of the shopping.
Speaker 1: Well, it's because you're a prize. But we go because
Speaker 1: it's just you know, we've got to go. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: guys want us to go and do things, and sometimes
Speaker 1: you just take one for the team. It doesn't mean
Speaker 1: we have to have fun. I mean you want to.
Speaker 2: I mean because it doesn't have to be hell on
Speaker 2: earth either. I mean literally, if you're miserable, don't do it.
Speaker 2: Help me unload the car when I get home, and
Speaker 2: you can do whatever you want, right. I wouldn't want
Speaker 2: I't want anyone to be with me and have it miserable.
Speaker 2: I'd just be like gome. I'm just.
Speaker 1: It's just never been a recreational thing for me to shop.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it can be well, no, I I
Speaker 1: get that, I totally. I mean, and I've worked in retail.
Speaker 1: I've worked, you know, in business to business stuff, so
Speaker 1: I know what it's about. And we are consumer society.
Speaker 1: It's not I'm not saying I don't want to buy things.
Speaker 1: I just want to get my things and get out.
Speaker 1: I don't you know what I mean. This is not
Speaker 1: a luxurious activity. But I will say this, shopping for
Speaker 1: women is different than men. I can remember being a
Speaker 1: little kid going downtown with her, taking the bus and
Speaker 1: going up to one of the department stores, and I
Speaker 1: was small, and it was a lounge, and there were
Speaker 1: like they were at the time.
Speaker 3: This is to give you age here.
Speaker 1: They were like smoking cigarettes, They had drinks, there were sacks, Yes,
Speaker 1: there were sofas and chairs. I mean, it was a
Speaker 1: whole thing. Where our world is gon I'd never seen
Speaker 1: anything like that. Then I got old enough to go
Speaker 1: the bathroom on my own, where she didn't have to
Speaker 1: worry about me being snatched or whatever. The guys' facilities
Speaker 1: are not like that. We don't have a lot. We
Speaker 1: don't want to lounge necessarily like that either. Close as
Speaker 1: we get to it is outside the fitting room where
Speaker 1: we will sit or stand holding our devices by ourselves
Speaker 1: or in a group, looking at the monitors that are
Speaker 1: on the wall conveniently placed as we wait outside to hear.
Speaker 1: How does this look on me? Come in here and
Speaker 1: let's take a look at this. That's that's that's the experience.
Speaker 1: I can't speak for anyone.
Speaker 2: Like all right, So if you're going to say, a
Speaker 2: Costco or a grocery store or Kroger whatever, right, couldn't
Speaker 2: you First of all, you're getting up and out of
Speaker 2: the house and you're getting your steps in so you
Speaker 2: can monitor that they usually have some sort of like
Speaker 2: snacks there, like some you know, display of some samples
Speaker 2: or something. Plus they have like you know, you can
Speaker 2: get t shirts and you know, kind of fun kind
Speaker 2: of stuff too. Why is it so much?
Speaker 1: But again you added fun to the event. Listen, I
Speaker 1: want let's open the phone up and see if that
Speaker 1: the people have to say, because now.
Speaker 2: I feel like from these guys, well, yeah, we want
Speaker 2: to hear from you and what your experience is like shopping, men, women,
Speaker 2: et cetera. Five, one, three, seven, four, nine, seven, eight hundred.
Speaker 2: The big one.
Speaker 1: You pick up the phone, you give it the finger,
Speaker 1: talk back the iHeartRadio app if you're on the X
Speaker 1: or Twitter. Not not necessarily the nineties party drug at
Speaker 1: Stirling Radio. I mean kind of curious one. When you shop,
Speaker 1: do there's a guy that you're with, have fun and
Speaker 1: have a good time. Uh, And it is a shopping
Speaker 1: an entertainment activity because I've never looked at feel you
Speaker 1: know when it's an entertainment activity when it's like, uh,
Speaker 1: something that I'm really into getting, like a new TV
Speaker 1: or yes, absolutely maybe sporting because you know we're going
Speaker 1: up to the fishing store up the road. They're not
Speaker 1: paying his bass pro shops whatever it is, right, you
Speaker 1: get the idea that's a fun activity. And my guess
Speaker 1: is that if you the guy you're with dragged you
Speaker 1: to that spot and someone said, hey, how much are
Speaker 1: you having?
Speaker 3: Probably not a lot.
Speaker 2: I put my head, my earbuds on and listen to
Speaker 2: some music. The majority of the callers that called in
Speaker 2: last Saturday night said because they would get in trouble
Speaker 2: if they didn't go. The woman they give a problem. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the woman would be upset if they didn't want to
Speaker 2: go the.
Speaker 1: Words, she'd get a case of like the chap backside
Speaker 1: and make it uncomfortable. Yes, which is why is a partner.
Speaker 1: You do what you need to do to keep her happy.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't go. I would just put my headset on
Speaker 2: and go by myself.
Speaker 1: I got you, I got you. I mean I listen.
Speaker 1: I'm not good at it. I have wrecked everything I've
Speaker 1: ever been a party to. This is the best, this
Speaker 1: in the turtle that I've had since I was eight
Speaker 1: years old. Yeah, this is And you're laughing. How sad
Speaker 1: is that is? Three hours a week? Sometimes? No, I
Speaker 1: totally get it. To Montgomery and Linda with Starling and
Speaker 1: Donna Dee on the Big One. Is shopping fun for
Speaker 1: you and your other half?
Speaker 2: No, we don't do it. Yes, not do it because
Speaker 2: of him, because the kids were little.
Speaker 8: It's only because he's in a babysitter. If I shop
Speaker 8: for two hours, that's a lot. And we do not
Speaker 8: go together, and that's because we don't want to.
Speaker 6: There's I don't need him with me when I.
Speaker 8: Go shopping, and he doesn't need me with him when
Speaker 8: he goes shopping.
Speaker 11: It's just simple.
Speaker 2: I agree. I don't get it. I don't know why
Speaker 2: these guys go if they're going to be miserable about it.
Speaker 2: I I really don't make us miserable if we don't disagree.
Speaker 2: But look at you.
Speaker 1: You and Honor are unicorn. I don't know if unicorn
Speaker 1: or unicorns is correct plural, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Called Webster's I'll take that anyway.
Speaker 8: I just had I just had to say that.
Speaker 13: I just look.
Speaker 8: I look at those people like their unicorns.
Speaker 13: Just like to go shopping together.
Speaker 2: Why good?
Speaker 1: So when you've gone, here's the question, because I will
Speaker 1: admit this that, like, if she is on the hunt
Speaker 1: and has things to do and she's gonna take her time,
Speaker 1: I will be distracted by shiny objects around, whether if
Speaker 1: it is the electronics area or maybe there's a hunting section,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Even hot wheels and toys in legos
Speaker 1: will get my attention. And then she just has to
Speaker 1: text me and go where are you? I thought you
Speaker 1: were gonna And I'm like, yeah, let me go grab that.
Speaker 2: It's too much work, isn't it, Linda? Somebody got to
Speaker 2: you much.
Speaker 1: But see that's the one I'm talking about. Linda, great call,
Speaker 1: Thank you, I appreciate it. See, but see she's different
Speaker 1: like you. In that Jay you're with Sterling and donnade
Speaker 1: On the big one in and out or do you
Speaker 1: make a day of it where it's fun and a
Speaker 1: good time.
Speaker 15: Well, I kind of, well I'm pretty much in and out.
Speaker 15: But like even sometimes they get distracted by other things
Speaker 15: or whatever. But here's my But why don't have to
Speaker 15: bring up this is? I remember when people used to
Speaker 15: go to baseball games. People just used to watch baseball.
Speaker 15: Baseball is boring, and now they put all some other
Speaker 15: stuff around it. So people get purist as they call them,
Speaker 15: can go and watch a baseball game, like they can
Speaker 15: bring people with them, and they can go hang out
Speaker 15: of the you know, the craft cocktail area.
Speaker 9: Or whatever they want to do that kind of stuff.
Speaker 8: Sure, I think it's kind.
Speaker 15: Of comparable one for the other, but just kind of
Speaker 15: that's what you make of it.
Speaker 1: I guess it's an enhanced experience, I think is what
Speaker 1: the language is. They do we have an enhanced shopping
Speaker 1: experience for you?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well no, And I I love that comparison, Jay, because
Speaker 2: you're saying, you know, if you want to hang out
Speaker 2: and you want to go see your big baseball fan,
Speaker 2: but your your woman is not, make it enjoyable for
Speaker 2: her and she'll go with you.
Speaker 7: Good.
Speaker 9: They want to.
Speaker 15: Yeah, like exactly if she's not so much into baseball
Speaker 15: and her friends so much baseball on seas with her
Speaker 15: significant dollar, you know, they can hang out together and
Speaker 15: just go, you know, walk around the park with all
Speaker 15: the like the history museum and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: I love that I appreciate it and that that is fantastic.
Speaker 1: And you think about the Great American Ballpark as a kid,
Speaker 1: when I was going as a child to what was
Speaker 1: Riverfront and Synergy, Uh, they did not have all those things,
Speaker 1: even for kids. There are so many different activities and
Speaker 1: things to part of the brings you in, to embrace
Speaker 1: the activity, the experience, the brand.
Speaker 2: Well, I think whoever started marketing craft cocktails for women,
Speaker 2: that was a good call. That was an excellent call.
Speaker 3: Cocktails always good.
Speaker 2: Graft cocktails. I'll tell the card dd let's.
Speaker 1: Do it drinks for all my friends to Georgetown with
Speaker 1: Mike and Sterling and donnad show here on a Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 3: What do you have, Mike.
Speaker 16: Yeah, if me and my wife go out and it's
Speaker 16: like a department store that has like a men's section,
Speaker 16: I will go to the men's section.
Speaker 8: She'll go do her thing and then we'll meet.
Speaker 9: Up later on.
Speaker 16: But if the game is on, I will sit there
Speaker 16: with the car all day long and then just brought
Speaker 16: the phone up and watched the game the whole time.
Speaker 2: Mike, let me ask you this because this would drive
Speaker 2: me absolutely insane. Right, So you're there and you and
Speaker 2: your spouse is trying to call you, but you've got
Speaker 2: like twelve missed calls because you haven't been paying attention
Speaker 2: to your phone. Does that happen to you?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 2: Not, really good for you?
Speaker 17: Usually?
Speaker 16: Usually, if we all like at TJ Max, I'll just
Speaker 16: go hunt her down and then see if she's ready
Speaker 16: to go. If she's not, I'll go wander off again.
Speaker 2: I'll period check in, just wondering aimlessly. If you are
Speaker 2: with your spouse, to periodic check ins and try and
Speaker 2: find them. And remember you're with somebody, you're with somebody.
Speaker 2: You gotta check your phone.
Speaker 3: A good call, make thank you.
Speaker 1: You know you think about that if you walk around
Speaker 1: any big store and you look at the little kids
Speaker 1: when they're on their own, roaming around in that look
Speaker 1: of theirs, looking for people that are familiar, whatever phone
Speaker 1: in their hand or not.
Speaker 3: A lot of us guys have the same look.
Speaker 1: We don't throw out of that unless we are distracted
Speaker 1: to Kenwood who may be shopping now. I don't know, Chris,
Speaker 1: your with Sterling and Donna d on the Big One.
Speaker 1: Is shopping a fun time in a group setting like
Speaker 1: that where you're like, I can't wait to get out
Speaker 1: there and have a good time.
Speaker 3: This is so much fun? Or are you a hunter
Speaker 3: or gather?
Speaker 5: Well? Sterling hint, Donna d all I can tell you
Speaker 5: is we divide and conquer. I don't know if you
Speaker 5: guys go to you know, Sam's Club or Costco going there,
Speaker 5: there are some people that just gawk around, get in
Speaker 5: your way everything else. I mean, we're almost besides ourselves sometimes.
Speaker 5: So she does Costco and I do SAMs, and you
Speaker 5: know what, we have the rest of the day for ourselves.
Speaker 1: This day, I got a plan that teamwork. That's balanced.
Speaker 1: That's a healthy relationship.
Speaker 2: But he's happy in that scenario too.
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Chris, appreciate it absolutely. Thanks guys, appreciate you listening to
Speaker 1: being a part of the show. What about you do
Speaker 1: you shop? Is it fun? And I'm good for consumerism.
Speaker 1: I like to buy things and keep money moving around
Speaker 1: that's great for the economy. That's why we're here where
Speaker 1: we bring a large audience to commercials, to people that
Speaker 1: are here that are running businesses, that employ people that
Speaker 1: want money of their own to spend. We're all just
Speaker 1: one big team. It's a beautiful thing. That's how I
Speaker 1: look at our society just in general.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: But when you're out and about, I mean, is it
Speaker 1: an entertainment good time or is it just I'm.
Speaker 3: Practical about it. I want to get it and get caught.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, you can have fun, but if you're if
Speaker 2: you're not having fun, tell your be honest. To be honest,
Speaker 2: you can only fake so much. Is usually pretty boring.
Speaker 18: Unless it's like you're shopping for something you're actually interested
Speaker 18: in looking at.
Speaker 2: That's when it's fun. That's good.
Speaker 3: So you've experienced this too, So do you fake it?
Speaker 2: Do you make it? As they say?
Speaker 18: You're just kind of I just kind of tag along.
Speaker 18: I say nothing and I'm just let her do her thing.
Speaker 18: Just don't don't intervene. If she's happy, just don't say
Speaker 18: a word.
Speaker 3: Well, can I get an ice cream?
Speaker 7: Can I?
Speaker 9: Can? I?
Speaker 2: Can I get a soft I'll wander off if I
Speaker 2: want to I'm a grown man. I can handle it.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about. Tie balloon to my wrist
Speaker 2: or something and case lose me. But that you literally
Speaker 2: look at yourself phones. But I would tell you right now.
Speaker 2: I and Linda apparently the other woman that called in
Speaker 2: the show does not like it. If you're gonna go
Speaker 2: and not be happy about it, I agree with Linda
Speaker 2: on that me too. Sometimes you just gotta fake it.
Speaker 2: It's not rather you're not fake it. Guys. You don't
Speaker 2: like it when it's faked on you. Women don't like
Speaker 2: it if it's faked on us.
Speaker 3: Well, in the end, who are you helping by faking it?
Speaker 2: Nobody?
Speaker 3: Right, because you went somewhere else altogether.
Speaker 11: You.
Speaker 2: Exactly. I mean, what are we talking faking?
Speaker 3: It's never good.
Speaker 2: It's never good. It is never good. You can try
Speaker 2: and and do it, but they'll be holding resentment afterwards.
Speaker 3: Gotta let it be some kind of just let that,
Speaker 3: let it go, just let it out.
Speaker 1: Mister McMahon making all kinds of sense with Stirling and
Speaker 1: Donnade on a Saturday afternoon, seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: It'll be a big twelve grid iron Jim. When you
Speaker 2: see heads WestEd.
Speaker 1: Donna de hanging out five o'clock Report, just two minutes away,
Speaker 1: Matt Reese disseminating man his quantities of information to feed
Speaker 1: your brain about what the hell was going on around
Speaker 1: planet Earth.
Speaker 3: What you look troubled when I said that.
Speaker 2: Well, I was just thinking about are it's a callback
Speaker 2: because we had a sleep expert on and we're you know,
Speaker 2: we're moving forward, which is great because we all get
Speaker 2: another hour and I'm just trying to slow my brain
Speaker 2: down a little bit so I can get some really
Speaker 2: good sleep.
Speaker 1: Tonight's got a stranglehold on your mind. So that's a
Speaker 1: tie back to the terrible Ted NuGen. We just heard
Speaker 1: a little of He's up in Michigan, probably right now,
Speaker 1: hunting like Borr or something or I don't know if
Speaker 1: I think he's living up there and maybe Texas.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't It's not like I'm stalking him.
Speaker 2: I followed Ted Nu. Yeah, what do you say? Liked him?
Speaker 2: I never liked to miss an artist, never liked with him.
Speaker 2: I never I never like Ted Nudgen's I don't even
Speaker 2: know once. I'm sure there's I don't know, scratch fever
Speaker 2: o cat scratch fever. Yes, thank you, Sean. I do
Speaker 2: know that one. That's like the only song I know.
Speaker 3: That's okay, that's okay. It was with a boy Dukes
Speaker 3: and all that. That's fine.
Speaker 1: You know you don't remember that one. That's okay, it's
Speaker 1: all right, you don't have to. I don't know how
Speaker 1: we ended up here. This is not what our plant.
Speaker 2: We talk about.
Speaker 13: Something out.
Speaker 2: I don't even know now what to self. Don't use
Speaker 2: Ted Nugent bumpers for down, please, Sean, please. I never
Speaker 2: liked him. I don't. That's a sick though, it is
Speaker 2: it is. I mean, you just sting to Is that
Speaker 2: Ted nug that lay in that rift? Okay? Yeah, he's
Speaker 2: a guitar player. Yeah, you're a musician. You like musician dudes, Yes,
Speaker 2: I do. You're a musician. Your side. I love musicians,
Speaker 2: and you're everything I am. Not everything, that's true. No,
Speaker 2: I'm just joking. Fine, we've had such a fun show today,
Speaker 2: which is great.
Speaker 1: We got an hour to try to make sense of
Speaker 1: this world, or as ken Brew likes to say that
Speaker 1: I do. But I think with you here, I'm less
Speaker 1: of a troublemaker. I don't know that I've ever really
Speaker 1: caused any problems, no comment. All right, it's time for news.
Speaker 1: Sterling and Donnade coming back with Bengals play here Tomorrow's
Speaker 1: got the best Bengals coverage taken on those Bears, Hey, Corp.
Speaker 1: We'll see a flack of his arm holds up. Uh,
Speaker 1: you get the bear Cats on the road, taking on
Speaker 1: the utes tonight late night here on the big One.
Speaker 1: Dan Horde's gonna fly from Utah back to Cincinnati to
Speaker 1: do that game tonight and then tomorrow with effectively. I
Speaker 1: hope he can sleep on a plane. We talk about
Speaker 1: losing an hour as we whine and cry and bitch
Speaker 1: and moan about our hour, that we get the extra
Speaker 1: hours we fall back. He needs about three or four hours.
Speaker 1: Let's hear how he sounds tomorrow, because he's always the man,
Speaker 1: always a professional.
Speaker 2: But that's just crazy, Hey, aren't we supposed to be
Speaker 2: playing Christmas songs already? Sean can listen. There's got to
Speaker 2: be at least one Christmas song. It's after holloween broadcast.
Speaker 1: Sheriff is not here, but I know that he has
Speaker 1: an edict about holiday music that starts around July. Now
Speaker 1: we're late for no reason at all, and Matt Reeves
Speaker 1: has already told me I owe him like an hour
Speaker 1: and a half worth of a minute. He is an
Speaker 1: award winning a newsman and he's got it right here
Speaker 1: in the Home of the Rets, the bear Cats, the
Speaker 1: Musketeers and the Bearcats and me, Sirling and Donna d
Speaker 1: seven hundred double lub Cincina.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 2: I mean, they beat the Reds.
Speaker 1: So it's I guess you'd maybe prefer to lose to
Speaker 1: a team who goes all the way and gets the
Speaker 1: rings and the team that loses maybe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not suggesting that the Dodgers are choking.
Speaker 1: No, I was just disgusted by the fault of it
Speaker 1: not being our writs. I'm glad they held on last night.
Speaker 1: That ball that got stuck under the fence there in
Speaker 1: the padding was the weirdest thing I think I've ever seen,
Speaker 1: maybe never in a World Series.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Game seven to night, who who's gonna win? Take the
Speaker 2: prediction the Dodgers are gonna win. I think one of them.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I thought that. I thought the Dodgers are just gonna
Speaker 1: go in there, and it didn't. It's been a great
Speaker 1: World Series.
Speaker 2: It has been very good it's been fun to watch.
Speaker 1: We'll see how it goes. And bear Cats on the
Speaker 1: Road tonight. They kick off ten fifteen, so you can
Speaker 1: get a little of everything. Bengals tomorrow, Sterling and Donna
Speaker 1: Dean now and we talk about relations a lot. We
Speaker 1: were just talking about relationships here just a little bit ago,
Speaker 1: with shopping and all the stuff. You've got your Saturday
Speaker 1: night show when bear Cats aren't playing or whatever else
Speaker 1: doing relationships and so forth. And we all have relationships
Speaker 1: in our lives with our siblings, our parents and our
Speaker 1: life and so forth. But some of the challenges in
Speaker 1: life when you think about relationships, making stuff work, finding
Speaker 1: someone who's compatible with you, your values, getting along all
Speaker 1: these different things. There are certain things that you may
Speaker 1: be barriers or rules or deal breakers, deal breakers there
Speaker 1: you go. So politics now is one of them all.
Speaker 1: I didn't even have that politics is a deal breaker now.
Speaker 1: It never used to be.
Speaker 2: But and I still have friends that have different opinions
Speaker 2: in politics and they get along fine, but hopefully well, yeah,
Speaker 2: they've been married for twenty one years, so grateful for that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, religion is another one.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and you bring that up. Jd Vance of course,
Speaker 1: I think it was a turning point. The other day
Speaker 1: had a thing we was speaking and someone asked him
Speaker 1: about She had asked him about a bunch of different things,
Speaker 1: but one of the things was about interfaith relationships. You know,
Speaker 1: I think he's Catholic. His wife, Husha, is Hindu. If
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, that's correct, and that for some people
Speaker 1: is a problem. But he said something that and I
Speaker 1: talked to my neighbor about this. We talked about this
Speaker 1: off the air, but I think it's a common thing,
Speaker 1: but it's a very interesting and challenging thing. And that
Speaker 1: he said that he would hope and still that she
Speaker 1: would find her way to Christianity in the end, which
Speaker 1: is something that she's not said that she's had interest in.
Speaker 1: But they were raising their kids with both faith.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, their interfaith. So what was interesting is because
Speaker 2: I went back, why would he say that, how do
Speaker 2: you not know what your faith is when you meet somebody?
Speaker 2: But back then when they met, they were in both
Speaker 2: in Harvard, right, and they both said that they were agnostic,
Speaker 2: and you know, atheists and agnostic, they neither one of
Speaker 2: them practiced faith. Faith well.
Speaker 6: JD.
Speaker 2: Van said in his thirties he converted to Catholicism, and
Speaker 2: she kind of got back into her Hindu faith and
Speaker 2: now here they are. Their kids go to Catholic schools,
Speaker 2: but she also adds the Hindu faith. And he literally
Speaker 2: said publicly, I hope she converts to Catholicism, which is
Speaker 2: because she has said I'm never doing that. She's publicly
Speaker 2: said I'm never going to convert to Catholicism, and you
Speaker 2: were republic you recoiled just saying it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So the fact that he said it, or the
Speaker 1: fact that he feels that way, because I think deep
Speaker 1: down there's a lot of people that if they are
Speaker 1: they have found themselves in love and coupled with someone
Speaker 1: of a different faith deep down because so many faiths,
Speaker 1: though there are common threads of goodness and you know
Speaker 1: that golden rule mentality in most faiths, there is still
Speaker 1: that other part of most of them, that is, if
Speaker 1: you don't go my way way, you're not getting where
Speaker 1: you want to go to the promised the afterlife.
Speaker 16: Right.
Speaker 1: That's so the hold up for a lot of families
Speaker 1: is you're not going to date somebody who's out of
Speaker 1: your faith.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: Your parents may have said that, other people may have
Speaker 1: said that the same way it might be for race,
Speaker 1: the same way it might be, you know, challenging to
Speaker 1: go from one social economic situation when it comes to
Speaker 1: money or not having money. And you mentioned right off
Speaker 1: about the issue of politics. These can be deal breakers
Speaker 1: and they can be huge challenges less because of the
Speaker 1: society in the circles that you live and socialize with, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and even through the lines your in
Speaker 2: laws may feel a certain way if you're not you know,
Speaker 2: Catholic or you know, Jewish exactly. The Jewish community really
Speaker 2: really embraces, you know, being partnered with another Jewish because.
Speaker 3: You understand where you're coming from. Yes, values and faith.
Speaker 2: I can tell you my nephew would never be with
Speaker 2: somebody who didn't accept Christ. He's a very big Christian
Speaker 2: and so he's got three kids now, there's no way
Speaker 2: that he would even want anyone to not have faith.
Speaker 2: I mean, that was one of his big deal breakers.
Speaker 2: Is you have to be a Christian that us to
Speaker 2: be together.
Speaker 3: That's a question.
Speaker 1: I guess that all of us, at one time or
Speaker 1: another maybe have to come to a point approaching in
Speaker 1: a relationship situation. You see a woman or a girl whatever,
Speaker 1: when you're depending your age. And she's kind of hot,
Speaker 1: she's kind of sweet, while we have fun together, she's
Speaker 1: great to study with, et cetera. Then you start talking
Speaker 1: and you're like, I don't want to like this girl.
Speaker 1: I can't take her home. Her people pray differently than
Speaker 1: my people. Aside from all those other factors that go
Speaker 1: with it, How do you deal with that? Because love
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily care. Your attraction doesn't necessarily care. When you
Speaker 1: are physically or emotionally attracted or attracted to their intelligence
Speaker 1: or their humor, whatever else it is, it sparks that
Speaker 1: interest to go, Man, I want to get with her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's hard to even find that first. It's
Speaker 2: hard to said, I'm like, get with her? You know
Speaker 2: that's the voice in my head. Yes, it came out clearly,
Speaker 2: I heard it. But I absolutely if you find somebody
Speaker 2: that you're attracted to and you like and you have
Speaker 2: fun with, and you can trust and all these things
Speaker 2: and faith is a big part, or politics something like that,
Speaker 2: then it becomes challenging if that is a deal breaker.
Speaker 2: So how do you you know.
Speaker 6: You date it?
Speaker 2: Outside of that? H knowing? No, I don't think I
Speaker 2: have that.
Speaker 1: When I was a Hindu girl. Her parents. This is
Speaker 1: when I was working and living in New Orleans. She
Speaker 1: was going to Tulane. And it wasn't like I was
Speaker 1: grown old. I was like in my early twenties and
Speaker 1: she was like a sophomore junior. So it was a
Speaker 1: little bit of difference but not a lot. But her parents,
Speaker 1: especially her mother would have literally probably used a machete
Speaker 1: to kill me because I was not him. Do in
Speaker 1: an Indian boy, yeah right, Yes, I'm a half Jew,
Speaker 1: like I believe in something, but I love everybody. She
Speaker 1: did not want me loving her daughter, but over time
Speaker 1: she ended up finding a different guy of a different
Speaker 1: faith also was Catholic ironically, and they're happy and living
Speaker 1: well and so forth, and her parents came to a
Speaker 1: different place of understanding, a caaring but that some people
Speaker 1: never get through that they'll mess around in school and
Speaker 1: then like I gotta go, you break the heart and
Speaker 1: you move on to the next thing.
Speaker 2: Well, and I don't. I don't listen. I think everybody
Speaker 2: because JD. Van's actually got some pretty big flack over
Speaker 2: his comment about hoping his wife would would you know,
Speaker 2: convert to Catholicism, But I think if you do, if
Speaker 2: you are with somebody with different faith, you can learn
Speaker 2: about it. There's so many beautiful religions out there that
Speaker 2: you can embrace and understand and learn more. And really
Speaker 2: there's a common thread and differ different different is very good.
Speaker 2: I mean, I had a neighbor which he just texted me.
Speaker 2: It's so funny. He used to say, my religion is love,
Speaker 2: and I kind of feel the same way because at
Speaker 2: the deepest part of all religions.
Speaker 3: It beats everything. Yeah, it really does.
Speaker 1: And that's what you sort of hope five point three
Speaker 1: seven four nine seven, eight hundred The Big One could
Speaker 1: talk back the iHeart Radio app. I mean, depending on
Speaker 1: one flavor, one's flavor of Christianity. You know, it could
Speaker 1: be Jehovah's Witness, Baptist, I mean, a Methodist, pick pick one, right,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But there are people who are like,
Speaker 1: I've got to be a Baptist girl. Oh it's got
Speaker 1: to be a Catholic guy or whatever else it is,
Speaker 1: or you know, or a Jewish Man, whatever it is.
Speaker 1: For your you know, your faith and your family, how
Speaker 1: have you navigated that? What do you tell your kids
Speaker 1: in relation to that? Because here's the other thing. Society
Speaker 1: right now. If you look different, if you sound different
Speaker 1: legally here or not, that is a bridge and a
Speaker 1: speed bump and a problem to hostility and conflict just
Speaker 1: out shopping in some cases, let alone the I'm going
Speaker 1: to get in the morning to mass whatever rather than
Speaker 1: going to the temple or whatever else it is. I mean,
Speaker 1: these are serious barriers and problems. As much as we
Speaker 1: get along, there are a lot of people that that's
Speaker 1: not just a deal breaker, but like a life shaking thing.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 2: I have to give credit to my mom. She was
Speaker 2: born in Canada. We moved to Connecticut early on, and
Speaker 2: she had a lot of kids and she became a
Speaker 2: single mom later on in life. And she's a Christian.
Speaker 2: We were raised in the Christian Church and the Christian religion,
Speaker 2: but when we moved to Connecticut, a lot of our
Speaker 2: neighbors were Jewish and Italian, so we embraced those cultures.
Speaker 2: We used to have Satan dinners, we used to do
Speaker 2: hide the matza. We used to do even when we
Speaker 2: were Christian. Yeah, a la bread and everything else. We
Speaker 2: all make my mom spaghetti sauce to this day. We
Speaker 2: learned from Italians in Connecticut how to make gravy is
Speaker 2: what they would call it. Right. We embraced so many
Speaker 2: different cultures and you can do that without having to
Speaker 2: adopt a full religion. You can embrace cultures.
Speaker 1: That's America. We cherry picked a good story, right, right.
Speaker 1: I mean that's what we do.
Speaker 2: You can believe in Christ and because that's what a
Speaker 2: Christian is. That's basically the definition. If you believe in Christ,
Speaker 2: you're a Christian and still adopt some of the fun
Speaker 2: and beautiful things about certain religions that are not yours.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it gets deep and it gets deep fast. We
Speaker 1: don't know what you think and how you navigate that.
Speaker 1: And you said something interesting. What is the controversy about
Speaker 1: him that as Jade Vans ur vice president, talking about
Speaker 1: his feeling of wanting her to convert in the end,
Speaker 1: hoping for her future life after life and getting where
Speaker 1: we want to go.
Speaker 3: I think most people have that feeling.
Speaker 1: Is it just the fact that he said it publicly
Speaker 1: in that conversation is a turning point thing that has
Speaker 1: people upset?
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just feel like people felt like he was
Speaker 2: calling her out. I mean because she has publicly said
Speaker 2: that she Usha Vans has publicly said that she is
Speaker 2: not going to convert to Catholicism.
Speaker 1: Is it disrespectful that he mentioned that in that fashion
Speaker 1: or was that a healthy way to have a conversation
Speaker 1: that maybe the country needs to happen.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's always a good way to look
Speaker 2: at That's the most positive and generous way to look
Speaker 2: at me. Now if it was me, And I don't
Speaker 2: really like taking things personally because there's if you get offended,
Speaker 2: the communication stops.
Speaker 7: So true.
Speaker 2: So but I think she was probably a little embarrassed
Speaker 2: and feels like she has to make a comment. So
Speaker 2: there is a problem though that I would have loved,
Speaker 2: loved that.
Speaker 1: The only reason I think I would have a problem
Speaker 1: with it is that there are so many people that
Speaker 1: make it a problem for you because you're different in
Speaker 1: not inside the loop of being whether it's Catholic or
Speaker 1: Jewish or Hindu or whatever else, you're the other, and
Speaker 1: right now being the other is a good well.
Speaker 2: And I think she's making some her there. Our kids
Speaker 2: are in Catholic yeah, and they're trying to live that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So you know, I think maybe, I mean, I don't
Speaker 2: want to speak for Usha Vance, but I think people
Speaker 2: pretty much felt like he threw or under the bus
Speaker 2: publicly about that.
Speaker 1: Was it bad for him to say it? I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people feel that way and have those
Speaker 1: private conversations. But putting it out there, I think it
Speaker 1: moves the conversation. Here we are, we would not be
Speaker 1: having this conversation. You're absolutely in that regard. I think
Speaker 1: it's okay. I'd like to hear from some women on
Speaker 1: this too. Let's get Mark first, Greg Ron Others with
Speaker 1: Stirling and Donna D on a Saturday afternoon seven eight hundred,
Speaker 1: the Big One, Mark, what do you have?
Speaker 2: What do you think?
Speaker 8: Well, sling, I don't know if you know this, but
Speaker 8: you're sitting in the room. What the performer?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I know.
Speaker 8: Did you know that Donna D can strong like a
Speaker 8: call very well and you can sing? So you ought
Speaker 8: to encourage her for the nation station?
Speaker 2: So well, we may do that later.
Speaker 4: But we were talking.
Speaker 8: About, uh, what's his faith tusion?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 8: I thought she was going to play that. I ran
Speaker 8: into her last night, I thought. But she's actually very talented, sir.
Speaker 1: We'll have to ring a guitar next time and then
Speaker 1: we can all have a big sing a song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so what about on topic? But it's nice. She's blushing
Speaker 1: here now.
Speaker 2: My face the heat coming off my face right now,
Speaker 2: Mark is crazy?
Speaker 1: What about the interface? How hard of a problem is that?
Speaker 1: And is it wrong to say that publicly? Is the
Speaker 1: vice president or just anybody in general when it comes
Speaker 1: to their mate having to deal with the conversation after Well,
Speaker 1: I'm going.
Speaker 8: To say this about that. Those two have privately talked
Speaker 8: about it, and there's no way that j D would
Speaker 8: have brought it up if that conversation were already had
Speaker 8: perhaps that, you know, yeah, I think they've already had
Speaker 8: that conversation and she probably said, j D, I'm gonna
Speaker 8: stick with my Hindu Indian religion. You can be your Catholic.
Speaker 8: I'm off the board, Dad, and we can raise those children,
Speaker 8: you know, the right way. So I think those two
Speaker 8: have had that conversation. So throwing her under the bus
Speaker 8: probably not. But you know, it does lead to you
Speaker 8: and I and Donnade a conversation.
Speaker 1: About it, which is not necessarily bad as long as
Speaker 1: people aren't somehow disparaging towards her or him, and in
Speaker 1: that regardless, appreciate its Greg dick Ron others coming up
Speaker 1: quick break five third report sooner than later, the latest
Speaker 1: on What's going on all before chick A Love Wee
Speaker 1: Here on a Saturday, Sterling and donadee seven hundred WLW

Speaker 1: I'm still having problems listening. I've been listening to more
Speaker 1: Sound Garden lately, one of my favorite band. But it's
Speaker 1: heartbreaking to me and hard for me because I'm over
Speaker 1: the years doing shows and interacted as well as being
Speaker 1: a fan, and it's really hard to deal with that.
Speaker 1: But exciting that they're going to be inducted into the
Speaker 1: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next week and that's right,
Speaker 1: which is pretty.
Speaker 2: Awesome, so to deserve it, I agree, one of my
Speaker 2: favorite bands to It's a pretty.
Speaker 1: Cool thing for Sean to be able to put the get
Speaker 1: a Bad Company Shelby Checker. Cindy Lauper just went through
Speaker 1: her final Like a Farewell tour which did real well
Speaker 1: around the country.
Speaker 3: Did a show here at the River Bend.
Speaker 1: Joe Cocker outcast to salt and Peppa warren Zevon enjoy
Speaker 1: every sandwich is what he left us with, and.
Speaker 3: He's so right about that. Yeah, and White Stripes, but no,
Speaker 3: tell me.
Speaker 2: I was surprised at the White Stripes because they just
Speaker 2: seem like such a newer band. You have to have
Speaker 2: what twenty five years of that. I'm sorry to tell you. Listen,
Speaker 2: I am a fan of the White Stripes absolutely.
Speaker 1: I love you know, it's tremendous. And the stuff he's
Speaker 1: done solo, and then I mean he's done all these
Speaker 1: other side projects.
Speaker 2: Why, yes, I was drawing a blank. But Jack White, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean he's amazing.
Speaker 3: And he bought a vinyl plant.
Speaker 1: He helped bring vinyl back to the forefront against like
Speaker 1: I'm going to get a vital plant, and then everybody
Speaker 1: goes to him to get vinyl at this point for
Speaker 1: their records in some cases, which is crazy.
Speaker 3: I digress.
Speaker 2: Thank you for playing that song, Sean, thank you for
Speaker 2: requesting that Sterling.
Speaker 3: I'm here to help. We played the shits.
Speaker 1: We were talking about relationships and inter faith issues. A
Speaker 1: vice president advance course in Ohio. Guy here in the
Speaker 1: Tri State talking about his wife Usha in the news
Speaker 1: at turning point like a big conference, and he was
Speaker 1: speaking answering some questions and you don't have to agree
Speaker 1: with everything. That's sort of the good point of having conversations.
Speaker 1: And we were just asking because and Donna sort of
Speaker 1: really you said it perfectly in the way that he
Speaker 1: described their relationship situation about being he's Christian Catholic and
Speaker 1: she is Hindu, and how they're raising their kids. But
Speaker 1: he said something that a lot of people I think
Speaker 1: bristle back at, but I think deep down they may
Speaker 1: not say it publicly, but they want their other half,
Speaker 1: if they are in a mixed relationship situation like that,
Speaker 1: to come to the side that they're on, because they
Speaker 1: feel that it's the only way you're going to get
Speaker 1: to the next.
Speaker 2: Level, right right, Yeah, And you know when they met,
Speaker 2: we talked about this. When they met, they were in Harvard,
Speaker 2: and neither one of them were very religious. They in fact,
Speaker 2: they called themselves agnostic or atheists. And when JD in
Speaker 2: his thirties converted to Catholicism, she went to her roots
Speaker 2: and went to Hindu And that's got to be some
Speaker 2: kind of difficult because of the afterlife. Just as you
Speaker 2: were talking about where are we going. He has many faiths.
Speaker 2: If you're Christian and you don't believe in Jesus.
Speaker 3: You're done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're done. I'm just not. That's it. You just
Speaker 2: you don't go anywhere. You stop. But it is important.
Speaker 2: They have two kids and their kids are in Catholic schools,
Speaker 2: So you know, you have to you have to bend
Speaker 2: and and work in some ways well with your spouse.
Speaker 1: The kids are gonna have a great Catholic education, They're
Speaker 1: going to have a faith based there, They're gonna have
Speaker 1: the Hindu thing. I think they're ahead of the game.
Speaker 1: Just add a little Judaism in there, and then maybe
Speaker 1: a little boot We have all of that because I mean,
Speaker 1: we're just embrace it all more Americans.
Speaker 2: It is My religion is love. That's right. Love Love.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Five point three some four nine seven, eight hundred, the
Speaker 1: Big One talk back the iHeartRadio Apple, it's them some
Speaker 1: calls like to hear for some women on this too.
Speaker 1: Have you dealt with that? Do you avoid relationships because
Speaker 1: of the interfaith thing? And if you have kids, what
Speaker 1: do you tell them as they navigate life going to school,
Speaker 1: finding that.
Speaker 2: Only Christmas and you know, the holidays that are coming up.
Speaker 3: I love all the holidays.
Speaker 1: I want all the holidays with the free stuff and
Speaker 1: the good food.
Speaker 2: A Christmas tree or a Jewish bush. Yeah, and you
Speaker 2: just keep the holiday lights on all years. Yeah, we
Speaker 2: got to kick everybody happy. Yeah, it's shorter. You don't
Speaker 2: have to worry about it drying out. It's living. It's
Speaker 2: just all that story. Yeah, and the Christmas tree tried
Speaker 2: to kill my mother Christmas. If I'm on a.
Speaker 1: Christmas or we're on, I will tell the story about
Speaker 1: how the tree tried to kill my mother, holiday story
Speaker 1: of all holiday stories, and people will cry out and
Speaker 1: want it. I get people on social media and emailing
Speaker 1: regularly asking me at the holiday times to tell the story,
Speaker 1: which my mother doesn't want to hear because she was
Speaker 1: the one who was nearly killed by the damn tree.
Speaker 3: Let's get to Greg. I think he's been holding the longest.
Speaker 1: We get to Ron and David and Dick and others
Speaker 1: in room for you with Sterling and Donnade on the
Speaker 1: big one, Greg, what about interfaith relationships?
Speaker 3: How do you approach that? Is it good, bad, impossible
Speaker 3: or what?
Speaker 11: Hey?
Speaker 6: You guys, thanks for taking my call on fantastic subject
Speaker 6: and Sterling. You called yourself mister positive. I've been mister
Speaker 6: positive for forty five years. Chris Como, stephen A. Smith,
Speaker 6: Charlie with Duff. I've been around for forty five years
Speaker 6: of rumination and stuff. But I'm glad you like to
Speaker 6: call yourself mister positive.
Speaker 2: I feel positive. I love it too, Greg, I absolutely
Speaker 2: love it. I used to be mister Megan and darkness,
Speaker 2: but I gave it off. He converted to positivity and
Speaker 2: I did. It's warmer. People love you more.
Speaker 6: Yes, real quick, And I'm going to go Randy in
Speaker 6: iron Rand. When you get into a relationship, what you
Speaker 6: want to do is fall in love with somebody that
Speaker 6: mirrors your values. You can never fall in love with
Speaker 6: a murderer or someone that's dishonest. So you want a
Speaker 6: reflection of what the values that you hold. And when
Speaker 6: you get into a relationship, you arguably want to establish
Speaker 6: what your goals and intentions are in the relationship. Yes,
Speaker 6: you want it to evolve and you know, become one
Speaker 6: if you will, but you want to have those platforms
Speaker 6: and establishments arguably in place when you start doing a relationship,
Speaker 6: and that's what you want. You want essentially the mirror Sterling, Donna,
Speaker 6: you love the person that you're with because arguably you
Speaker 6: love the values that they hold, that they're honest, truthful,
Speaker 6: that they are giving and caring and all those positive things.
Speaker 6: So when you do that and with trust me, JD
Speaker 6: and what you guys are talking about. I don't want
Speaker 6: to get into politics, but uh, trust me, I talk
Speaker 6: about it with Chris combo Off and every day and uh,
Speaker 6: but it's just it's just you're right. That's a dynamic
Speaker 6: that I think Sean said or someone said. The callers
Speaker 6: said that they probably established it before they you know,
Speaker 6: went on. You know, it's the shock value that you
Speaker 6: know people talk about. But uh, and Chick will tell
Speaker 6: you that I'm mister positive too. But that's a great conversation.
Speaker 6: Keep on you bet you you guys, everyone go for
Speaker 6: your dreams.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you, Greg, Well he is you're somebody else.
Speaker 2: Greg is. Definitely I do like what he said because
Speaker 2: you know, if it is it is moralistically important, and
Speaker 2: it is it is a deal breaker that you know,
Speaker 2: you have to have a Christian partner like my nephew is.
Speaker 2: That is a deal breaker for him because he has
Speaker 2: kids and he wants to raise his kids in the
Speaker 2: Christian faith and things like that. You really it will
Speaker 2: be very very hard to be able to manage that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can be. Yeah, especially when people believe that
Speaker 3: it's either my way or you're.
Speaker 1: Going to house or whatever. You know, that is a
Speaker 1: real story. I like the heat, but I don't want
Speaker 1: it eternally. Ron On the big one, how are you?
Speaker 2: How do you deal with interfaith stuff or is it
Speaker 2: even a problem?
Speaker 12: Yeah, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you.
Speaker 9: I just wanted to say that I think I know.
Speaker 12: Of the perfect relationship with somebody in church.
Speaker 8: As in high school.
Speaker 12: Uh, my girlfriend's brother was married to a lady and
Speaker 12: he was a die heart Catholic and she was a
Speaker 12: diehard church a christ person and they both went to
Speaker 12: each other's church every weekend.
Speaker 2: Oh see, I like that. I love that.
Speaker 8: I think that.
Speaker 12: I think that's the perfect relationship there.
Speaker 1: Well, I think maybe we'd all be better if we
Speaker 1: had a little bit more understanding of what the other
Speaker 1: side or a different flavor of it would be too.
Speaker 3: That's tremendous. How long have they been together?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 12: I haven't talked, I haven't seen him for years, but
Speaker 12: I assume they're still together and still doing it because
Speaker 12: I mean.
Speaker 8: They was, they was.
Speaker 12: They did that religiously each weekend. You know, they go
Speaker 12: to her, he'd go to her church with her, she'd
Speaker 12: go to his church with him.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of fellowship, I think that will.
Speaker 2: I think that was a great relation. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of good message. Ron great call.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you listening to being a part of the show
Speaker 1: and the super kind words. I think that's great.
Speaker 2: Uh, that's you know.
Speaker 1: As a kid growing up, I was lucky in that
Speaker 1: my mom let me sort of be a tourist when
Speaker 1: it comes to faith because we have Jews. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have a Jew, and then we have the Catholics
Speaker 1: in the family. We have Jehovah's witnesses, we have some Baptists.
Speaker 1: We had some of the speaking in tongues people in
Speaker 1: the family, whatever they were. I remember going to their Tochetherish.
Speaker 1: I'd never seen anything like that.
Speaker 2: Acoustic. What do you call that, Jesus.
Speaker 19: There's somebody, yeah, it might I'm like seven or eight,
Speaker 19: and I just remember being there and then somebody like
Speaker 19: got the feeling and started speaking in tongues, and all
Speaker 19: I could think of because I had already seen The Exorcist.
Speaker 1: That seems like a possession more than anything else. I
Speaker 1: don't know that I like this, And I remember going
Speaker 1: home and my mom was like, what's the matter. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened earlier tonight, so I.
Speaker 2: Can't relate to that either, to be honest, But they're okay.
Speaker 8: Yes.
Speaker 3: The only ones I don't understand are the snake charmers.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And I'm not I mean, pray to your teapot, if
Speaker 1: you want to pray to a teapot, rub Buddhist belly,
Speaker 1: whatever makes you happy. I'm not judging or being hateful.
Speaker 1: Please don't take it that way, but I mean, when
Speaker 1: you're playing with snakes that can be venomous at some point,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like playing in traffic.
Speaker 2: Pick your spon.
Speaker 1: My God doesn't want me to get by a biper
Speaker 1: and swell up and die with anaphylactic shock. I don't
Speaker 1: know who you're prying to, not my God. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: is that bad story?
Speaker 10: I wish?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 18: The previous college just reminded me that my grandparents on
Speaker 18: my mom's side, my grandmother was a devout Catholic. My
Speaker 18: grandfather was a devout atheist. They made it work for
Speaker 18: sixty years, and he used to take her to Sacred
Speaker 18: Heart Church. Uh, she would always want to go to
Speaker 18: the Latin Mass. He'd drop her off, He'd sit in
Speaker 18: the car, he'd read a newspaper while she was at
Speaker 18: church and wait for her to come back out and
Speaker 18: then take her back home because she never drove. She
Speaker 18: didn't drive, so he always had to drive her to church.
Speaker 18: So he sat in the parking lot and waited for
Speaker 18: her until church was over and she came out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was something special.
Speaker 1: And that was before you could have the iHeartRadio app
Speaker 1: on your phone in the car or streaming in the
Speaker 1: car on the regular Nework.
Speaker 2: And my grandpa worked here too, so he was always listening.
Speaker 9: To l W.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, so did.
Speaker 18: She That's how they meant Wow. I didn't know that
Speaker 18: she was a secretary. He was an engineer real here. Yeah, No,
Speaker 18: I didn't know the whole history.
Speaker 2: I know part of Oh see, this is that's why
Speaker 2: Sean is producing on WLW. That the whole thing ties
Speaker 2: we get knock in. He's a legacy. My blood runs
Speaker 2: in the airwaves. Yeah, absolutely so great story. Sean. I
Speaker 2: love the respect that they that he had for her.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and and the fact that this was important
Speaker 2: to her and he made sure she got there. That's lovely.
Speaker 3: That is tremendous. A great family.
Speaker 1: Anyway, let's get one more here before the break, and
Speaker 1: then Chick Lugwig's coming up. He's taking it through with
Speaker 1: some Saturday afternoon early evening sports talk right up to
Speaker 1: a pre game for those Bearcats on the road taking
Speaker 1: on the Utes and some Big twelve action. It's a
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen kickoff. That's primetime West Coast and late
Speaker 1: night here in Cincinnati. It is California, though he has
Speaker 1: no problem at that time. It's David was Stirling and
Speaker 1: donadla big when you got about it two minutes or so,
Speaker 1: what do you have, David?
Speaker 17: Well, thanks, I must be in the two hundred and
Speaker 17: fifty the anniversary of America. I'm going to put my
Speaker 17: answer in those terms that would Jade Vance. You know,
Speaker 17: his relationship with his wife is his business. But if
Speaker 17: he's going to be vice president, he has to have
Speaker 17: equal justice under the law. He has to provide equal
Speaker 17: protection under the law. And for him to be spouting
Speaker 17: some sort of I'm going to even get into the
Speaker 17: whether it's bigotry that if you know, you used the
Speaker 17: expression a minute ago about my way or the highway.
Speaker 17: If he's going to pull that joke with his own wife,
Speaker 17: what's he going to do with the rest of America.
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you wait a minute.
Speaker 1: But he's talking about his personal relationship with his wife,
Speaker 1: and they're both living their own lives together in faith
Speaker 1: with kids that are going to Catholic school and being
Speaker 1: able to also get the Hindoo background as well, and
Speaker 1: that leaves it up to them. He just simply said,
Speaker 1: which I completely understand, that he would hope that she
Speaker 1: finds her way to Christianity in the end, because obviously
Speaker 1: of that faith, his mindset is what for her future
Speaker 1: and savior and eternal life would be that she has
Speaker 1: to convert, even though he loves her and cares for her.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's bigoted. That's just him being straight
Speaker 1: to his faith but still loving her.
Speaker 3: No or yes.
Speaker 17: I say no, yeah, because the name of the game
Speaker 17: is if you go into American history, the Bill of
Speaker 17: Wrights were basically in opposition to the Old Inquisition. The
Speaker 17: Inquisition was my way.
Speaker 2: Or the highway right.
Speaker 1: He didn't say he was going to burn her at
Speaker 1: the stake though. He just said he hopes she gets
Speaker 1: there in the end, and that's his relationship. He didn't
Speaker 1: say that all Americans need to come to Christianity. He
Speaker 1: said that about his wife.
Speaker 17: Well, I agree, But the name of the game is
Speaker 17: is that we're heading that way right quick, right now,
Speaker 17: that there are people that are telling America that if
Speaker 17: you don't belong. I was just listening to a show
Speaker 17: a minute ago talking about I'm trying to think of
Speaker 17: what state is just authorized that school property. Now you
Speaker 17: can paint crosses on school property as.
Speaker 3: Long as I can put a star of David or
Speaker 3: a Buddha belly up there, I don't care.
Speaker 2: I don't think we should be doing any of that either.
Speaker 2: So I agree David that there's there's a slippery slope
Speaker 2: here of like, but there's a separation of church and state,
Speaker 2: I mean, and and things like that. I don't think
Speaker 2: that this is the case here with jd Vance and
Speaker 2: his wife, who sha. I think he is a great call.
Speaker 1: I wish we had more time that we were against
Speaker 1: the long time and I hung up. I'm putting him
Speaker 1: on a whole game. It was a great call though,
Speaker 1: and I understand where you're coming from, but there's a
Speaker 1: difference between him talking about his personal life and what
Speaker 1: his hopes are said for his wife in her next life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever that is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's more concerned for her.
Speaker 1: He was honest, I think, And he didn't say like
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have married or had babies with her and
Speaker 1: made a life with her. I wouldn't think otherwise. And
Speaker 1: if that, then there's deeper issues with the relationship. But
Speaker 1: he didn't say anything about the rest of us getting
Speaker 1: there that way. No, all right away, some Hooday speak
Speaker 1: and a whole lot more before Chick Ludwig comes in
Speaker 1: and uh, Sterling and Donnade, great show, right goodbye.
Speaker 2: I loved it. Thank you, Sean Forday, what for the listeners.
Speaker 2: We had some great calls today, Thank you, Sean.
Speaker 1: And I'll follow Zavir basketball Monday night right here home
Speaker 1: of the Hooday best Bengals coverage, Bearcats and so much more.
Speaker 1: Sterling and Donna d seven hundred WLW Cincinnati this weekend.
Speaker 2: Daylight savings time ends.
Speaker 20: Why because that's what Americans do When we wanted to
Speaker 20: cook a frozen burrito in a minute. We invented the
Speaker 20: microwave and cook that burrito cos that's what Americans do.
Speaker 20: And when we want the sun to rise earlier, we
Speaker 20: change time cause that's what Americans do. So this weekend,
Speaker 20: set your clocks back one hour.
Speaker 2: Cous, that's what Americans do.
Speaker 20: I'm reminder from seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: You're one stop for advertising called eight four four eight
Speaker 2: four four.
Speaker 18: iHeart live from the seven hundred WLW studios driven by
