WEBVTT - Saturday Morning with Gary Jeff Walker -- 1/10/26 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.840 It is January tenth, twenty twenty six before we look 0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:07.840 how to look back at significant events and people tied 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:10.879 to this particular date in history, including but not limited 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:15.560 to these. Seventeen seventy six, the year that Thomas Payne 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:21.840 anonymously published Common Sense, arguing for American independence from British rule. 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:26.600 And here we are into our two hundred and fiftieth year. 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:32.760 Eighteen sixty the Pemberton Mill and Lawrence, Massachusetts collapse caught fire, 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:36.519 killing as many as one hundred and forty five. Florida 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:40.040 became the third state to secede from the Union just 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:44.320 before our Civil War in eighteen sixty one. Two years later, 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:50.120 the London Underground opened to the public the Metropolitan Railway, 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:57.120 the first underground passenger railway. How about that subways were born? 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.920 Nineteen twenty League of Nations established by the Treaty of Versailles, 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:10.080 another harbinger of bad things to come if you're of 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:15.440 the mind that I am. The first General Assembly of 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:22.520 the United Nations convened in London. Another bad, bad thing 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:29.399 for the future of the world my opinion. This was 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:34.880 the date of the catch in nineteen eighty two, when 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:39.520 Dwight Clark caught a touchdown from Joe Montana with fifty 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:45.120 eight seconds left in the NFC Championship Game. One of 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.559 the most famous plays in NFL history led the Niners 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.720 to that victory over the Dallas Cowboys that would lay 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:58.720 the groundwork for the Niners to face yours Cincinnati Bengals 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.320 in the Super Bowl. Well, of course, the Bengals would lose. 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:08.639 Olympic Decathlon gold medalists Bill Toomey is eighty seven a day. 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:13.880 Rod Stewart is eighty one. Pat Benattar is seventy three. 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.880 We'll have to get some pad on later, Handsome Rod, 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.200 pat Rod. Bobby ray Hall is seventy three years old. 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:29.080 Comedian Jermaine Clement. Don't know, don't know, Jermaine Clement, He's 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:36.000 fifty two. Jared Kushner is forty five, the President's son 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:42.280 in law, an actor and singer. Renee Rapp is twenty six. 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.400 If it is your birthday, I hope that it is 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.480 and pray that it is absolutely the best birthday ever 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.520 for you, and you get to spend it with the 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.680 people you love, doing the things you love to do, 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.760 and that is truly my wish for you. It's five 0:02:55.919 --> 0:03:03.840 forty one this morning show. The theme is gratitude, and 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.400 I'm grateful for a lot of things this morning. We'll 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.120 get into it. Good morning, Chris to two point zero, 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.840 five point forty one at seven hundred WLW. 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:16.320 Oh my seven hundred WLW sports William. 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.600 I hit the McDonald's here on Montgomery Road as we 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.800 were coming in. I'm grateful that there is some restaurant 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.800 open at this time of the morning, one of the 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:30.560 things I'm grateful for. And it was really refreshing because 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:34.400 this doesn't often happen when you go to a fast 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:39.440 food joint. The person who waited on me was not high. 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.880 There was a lucid kind of transaction. They're cognizant of 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.120 what was going on around him, and I'm just so 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.240 appreciative of that. Do you encounter a lot of people 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.680 who you think may be high in those kind of jobs. 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.840 I kind of just assumed it was a requirement the 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.720 way everybody acted in these establishments, and what. 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.640 When you so when you can smell the funk coming 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.800 out of the drive through window, it kind of gives 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.480 you a clue. But then when they don't have a 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:12.280 clue about anything, and they're looking at money like it's 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.280 an alien being. Then you know for sure. 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:16.919 If they like you enough, they'll let you smack it 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.280 through the window. I've seen that happen before as well. 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:26.240 And speaking of smacking, Indiana football smacking fifty six to 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.760 twenty two pick six on the first drive set the 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:31.800 tone for the game, Indiana, I'm excuse me. 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.240 Oregon went down a march down, tied the game at seven, 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:38.719 but Indiana just took control. They were up thirty five 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.599 to seven and a half and there was just no 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:42.320 looking back. 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.440 Oregon Ducks cannot do anything. If the New York Gents 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:49.680 aren't enough to convince Dante Moore to stay in college, 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.320 that game should have been Yeah. 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.919 Indiana will face Miami in the National Championship, the number 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.799 one seed versus the tenth seed Miami Florida. That kicks 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:03.560 off Monday, January nineteenth at seven thirty. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.840 If the Hurricanes should win that game, that will be 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.440 one of the great upsets in all of the history 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.719 of college football. Ain't gonna happen. I don't think. Watching 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.239 Indiana play last night. 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.360 The early look ahead lines is looking about a five 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.240 and a half to seven and a half point favorite. 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.480 I think if Miami doesn't turn the ball over, they 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.200 will stand a chance. But Indiana, if they just play 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.480 their discipline, dominant football, it's gonna be a long night. 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:32.880 Court Signetti is absolutely bar none, the best coach in 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.280 college football, There's no question about it. Yeah, and part 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:37.880 of that Saban coaching tree. 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.320 No doubt. What else we got college basketball today? Big 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:45.720 day of college basketball. Xavier host the Providence Friars this afternoon, 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.000 tip a seven four pm. Pregame coverage begins at three 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.200 thirty right here on seven hundred at WLW. Kentucky host 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.240 Mississippi State as the Wildcats look to avoid an zero 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.440 to three start in conference. By the way, how my 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:00.640 Vanderbilt commodourt's looking. They just beat a hot out Labama tick. 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:05.840 I watched the game on Wednesday night. It was absolutely phenomenal. 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.680 I believe Vanderbilt fans or students have not seen their 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:10.880 team lose a home this year. 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.479 Well, and I tell you what, As someone who saw 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.400 a lot of games in Memorial Gym in Nashville on 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:21.320 the Vanderbilt campus back in the eighties and early nineties, 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.760 I had never heard that place as raucous as it 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.960 was on Wednesday night. In the victory over Alabama, a 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:32.320 great game and go Commodorees. You see women's basketball. 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.240 They looked to build on a huge upset win over 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:38.080 Iowa State this last week. Lady Bearcats host seventeenth rank 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.480 Texas Tech Red Raiders at two pm this afternoon. 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.240 You can listen to. 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:47.840 That game on Fox Fox Sports thirteen sixties. You see 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.800 men's basketball. Excuse you see men's basketball back in action 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.360 tomorrow night on the road against the twenty fifth ranks 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.520 U SEEF Golden Knights. That game will be right here 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.799 on seven hundred WLW at four thirty. 0:06:57.920 --> 0:06:59.480 Do we have any NFL playoffs? 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.800 NFL playoff games, We'll be hosting the second one right 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.720 here on seven hundred WLW tonight between the Packers and 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:06.200 the Bears. 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:06.440 Yeah. 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:10.200 Because you can't get it on regular TV. What is 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.040 regular TV? I only listen to the radio. Amazon Prime 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.160 isn't isn't regular TV? You're right? I mean you listen 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.760 to the radio. It's free. Turn it on. We got 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:20.400 it tonight. 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.960 So next Friday and Saturday begins to start the Red 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:27.000 season with return of Redsfests to the newly renovated Convention Center. 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.440 Thirty two days until reds pitchers and catchers report and 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.400 thirty nine days until position players report for spring training. 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.280 Fantastic, Thank you, mister Liam. It's five forty seven. What 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.160 are you wearing, by the way, what do you call that's. 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.800 A sweatsuit swag? I don't know if you know anything 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.640 about having swag, Gary, Jeff. 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:49.160 I don't know. It looks like something Joe Burrow would 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.000 wear if he were having a mental breakdown. 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.320 You were locked on to news radio seven hundred WLW 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.120 some lips on iHeartRadio. 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:03.840 As a child, I was taught my great parents to 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:10.320 say please and thank you and you're welcome. I don't 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:14.600 quite get I appreciate you, although I get that all 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:20.880 the time, especially from younger people. It's usually gen Z 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:29.760 or maybe some alpha kid whatever. I appreciate the fact 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.920 that they're showing appreciation, but just thank you is enough. 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:39.559 And please. Of course, when I moved here, not originally 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.880 being from Cincinnati or this area, please was always a 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:50.000 civil request, like can I please have some more of that? 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:55.240 Can I please have some more? Please? Of course here 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.920 it's telling someone to repeat themselves because you didn't quite 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:06.360 understand it. Please, It's fine. This morning show, as I 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:10.440 mentioned a few moments ago, the theme is gratitude, and 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:16.120 usually I reserve something like that for Thanksgiving because that's 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:20.760 the time you traditionally show gratitude, give thanks and the like. 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.520 But it was really brought in to focus on three 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.440 different things, and I'll be highlighting each of these as 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:32.080 we move through the morning, and by the way, as 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.760 I do, I'd like you to take some time, take 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.880 some stock and think about the things that you are 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:45.199 grateful for, truly grateful for. And it could be something 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:50.760 very small, it could be the biggest thing in your life. 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:56.760 In my case, these are pretty big. Yesterday my wife 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:03.640 endured another breast cancer lump back to me at Saint 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:10.520 Elizabeth Edgewood, and I am so grateful that their hands 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:15.439 were controlled by God Almighty, and I do believe that 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:21.200 and the outcome was favorable. We'll know more in the 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:25.880 next few days. But everything, and I'm talking about from 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.920 the very time we entered the facility to the time 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:34.320 we left. The people at Sainty Edgeward are our top 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:40.840 notch and I'll get into some individual examples as we 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:45.400 proceed through the morning. So I'm very, very grateful that 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:50.520 God had his hand on the entire operation from start 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:54.080 to finish, and in Christa's recovery. She is listening this morning. 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.719 I think unless she fell back asleep, and she did 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.400 fall back asleep, who can blame her after going through 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:05.560 what she went through yesterday. But the people who assisted 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:11.320 us and were God's hands in that were absolutely the best. 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:16.319 We couldn't have asked for more. I'm of course grateful 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:24.120 for the people who regularly appear on this program. From 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:26.719 Dick from Dayton, who was waiting in the wings to 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:30.360 talk to us again as he does almost every Saturday morning. 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.680 To lady Lynette, who we have not heard from on 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.640 the phone lines yet. I'm sure there's a darn good reason, 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:40.960 and we pray that Lynette is okay. Can't go through 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.720 us Saturday without a little momometry in our lives. Dave 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:50.080 from Harrison and Old Radio, Rick Washburn, what a gem 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.920 of a guy, is absolutely wonderful, the Gang from Ripley, 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.720 Steve from ETNA, who will be back in the next 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:03.400 hour with one of his weekly thoughtful commentaries on news 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.920 of the day and historical notes that he has taken. 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:15.680 Steve Shulty, Tom Davis. Really really thankful for Tom because 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.439 he donates a lot of time, and I mean donates 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.160 a lot of time out of his life to put 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:27.720 together his Thomas Davis Diaries every week at no charge 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:32.040 to me or iHeartMedia. And he's been doing it now 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:36.800 for going on twelve years. Can that even be right? 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:43.240 Thankful for Jim Lebarber, the music professor. How blessed am 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:48.040 I and you by proxy because you get to enjoy 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:51.720 him every Saturday if you listen to the program to 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:55.680 know one of the truly great radio legends that's ever 0:12:55.800 --> 0:13:00.120 cracked open a mic in this town. And he'll be 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:06.280 back this morning. God willing science, Mike brother, Rick Green 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:18.600 literally a godsend. That Teresa who's been surprisingly one of 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.839 my favorite parts of the show. And I say surprisingly 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:27.040 because well you'll hear her later if you keep listening. 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:34.880 And of course Moe Egger one of the most thoughtful 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.800 voices in sports radio. I'm thankful for all of it, 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.920 and this morning I am giving extra thanks and thanks 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:47.560 to you. It's five point fifty four seven of the 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:53.920 Saturday Morning Edition for this Saturday, January tenth, twenty twenty six. 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.360 You think it's hard remembering to write a check, but 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.800 nobody writes checks anymore. To remember the new year this 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:08.240 early on, But do you have to say it. I've 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.319 almost got to remind myself that, yeah, we flipped the 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:16.240 calendar again, which is just something I knew was coming. 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:20.240 You knew it too, But here it is twenty twenty. 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:27.440 I cannot even imagine that. It's hard to fathom that 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:31.800 we're in twenty twenty six because when I was like 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:39.520 twenty years old, was still the nineteen eighties, nineteen eight 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:49.760 nineteen eighties.

Well, I guess that happens. 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:57.920 I don't know, and you know what else happens, and 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:01.400 I'm grateful that it happens. Is our friend Dave from 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:05.320 Harrison joins us or wherever he's calling from. Now, Dave, 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:07.680 where are you calling from?

I've seen 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:39.040 exactly where you sit at the desk. You've got like 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:43.120 your own resolute desk. You're like President Trump, only not. 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.200 Pass on Alan Geary. 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:56.400 Jeff Well extremely pleased that Chris to come third procedure 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:57.680 answered prayer. 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:02.200 Uh you know what.

We're so grateful for everyone's prayers. 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:16.960 Thank you so much. 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:22.920 You're welcome, Jeff, I have good news.

Wait wait, wait, wait, Dave, Dave, 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.440 you said my Willie show, my Willie show that that 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.760 has that has other connotations. I was in for Bill 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:49.360 Cunningham or Willie. So it wasn't exactly a Willie show 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.600 because it was a WILLI show. That just sounds like 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:52.240 something else. 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:59.840 But you we gave you and the birthday cards with cards. 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:00.800 Yeah, I know. 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:03.520 This past week, Jeff. 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:10.640 In the mail, we got a book, a signed autograph, 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:12.440 well from. 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.320 The prof from the music professor. Yeah, I love his 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:16.680 book book. 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.760 An appreciation of you know, just reaching out to him. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:27.399 I thought that was just made my life, you know, Jeff, 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:29.359 I don't know if I told you this also, but 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:31.320 uh I finally found. 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:36.160 My backup lighter. You know how I did it? Well, Well, 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.720 it was going b B B. 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:52.480 Yeah, Dave, Yeah, what's a fancy fish called so phisticated? 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:54.600 Sophisticated? 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:58.240 I like that, Yeah, yeah, sophisticated, go ahead data. 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:03.120 You know, I used to have a job collecting leads. 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.320 I'm telling you I was raking into it. 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.720 And Elasman not last. 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:20.480 A big shout out to the person who invented zero, Dave, 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:23.200 What that's a shame? 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:27.120 Jokes told by Dave from Harrison are not necessarily considered 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:30.720 funny by the staff, management, or advertisers of seven hundred 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:35.119 WLW or his parent company, iHeartMedia. If these attempts at 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.480 humor have caused you to roll your eyes, made your 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.480 stomach churn, or you have considered the entire exercise to 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:44.520 be a colossal waste of time, we deeply apologize. Now 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:46.439 back to our irregular programming. 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.840 This guy has thrilled a lot of radio afficionados over 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.959 the years. Right here on this show and in his 0:18:54.560 --> 0:19:01.800 little basement workplace in the Pineapple Museum, Old Radio Rick 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:05.399 is back for another bite at the Old Apple. Good Morning, 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.640 Old Radio Rick. I am thankful for you. 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.720 I'm good morning Gary, Jeff. You know you mentioned I 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:15.880 appreciate you. That always makes me feel weird. It also 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:19.000 makes it makes it makes me feel sad when the 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:23.520 utes of today say no problem instead of you're welcome, yeah, 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.080 because it makes me think like you're saying you weren't 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:28.200 glad to assist, but at least you weren't put out 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:28.680 too much. 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:34.440 That That's one I forgot, Yeah, no problem. The other 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:37.000 one that you hear a lot is of course I 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:41.919 like that better than I like that better than no problem. 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:42.720 Of course. 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.320 Like Murray and I get into this thing in public 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.119 where one of us will say I love you, and 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:53.760 here one says, well, yeah, just for the entertainment of others. Hey, 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:55.600 I'm grateful to you and Chris the two point zero 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:57.680 for all the love and support you've given. 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.000 To me and Murray or the year likewise, geez. 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.600 And I'm grateful to all the wonderful people who I've 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:05.960 crossed paths with because of you on this wacky radio journey, 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:09.200 not only those who've shown me the patients of job, 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.600 but those who haven't but also haven't slashed my tires. 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:13.960 I appreciate all of you. 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:16.879 So how are you receaving us this morning? Ricky? 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:20.040 I'm going to give you four x four this morning. 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:22.119 I think it's mostly due to the warm fronts coming 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:24.080 through making a mockery of the eyeonosphere. 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:25.000 But it's a. 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:30.080 Nineteen twenty six Earla mon donnic monodic. 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:34.399 What did you say? Let's try that again. It's a 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:36.879 one hundred year old radio. But what's the brand. 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:42.280 It's an Earla, but the model is monodic S fifty 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:47.040 now monaudic. It was called led many to call it 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:51.840 the single Richard. Okay, that's completely false. But for those 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:54.440 of you playing at home, if you've got the beer reference, 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.840 then put yourself down for two bonus points and twenty 0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:01.360 s and H green stamps. This set is an old, 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:04.960 very early TRF. Of course, nineteen twenty six everything's early. 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:07.760 Then it's got two separate tuning dials that ad just 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:12.600 three different tuning capacitors, so one's doing double duty. Still 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:16.720 makes it interesting. The tune stations. But the TRF had 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:22.159 superior audio quality but not great selectivity, so you have 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:25.680 to kind of use both tuning dials. 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:28.640 So to tune in one station, you've got to move 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:29.400 two knobs. 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:33.000 That's right, and you can move one in one direction, 0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:35.280 the other in the other direction, and then pick up 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:38.399 the station again. That gave you the ability if you 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:40.359 had two stations that were like right on top of 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:42.320 each other, you can pick them up on a two 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:44.880 RERAF at the same time. This could separate them out 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:49.359 a little bit. But it's a battery tabletop wood radio. 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:53.200 It's beautiful thing. And it could run on a six 0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:56.360 volt storage battery and sixteen nine volt batteries. But I'm 0:21:56.440 --> 0:22:00.480 using power supplies and the tour can just fine. Okay, Hey, 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:02.320 let's go to the catalog, shall we. 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:05.120 Wow, they had catalogs back in nineteen twenty six. 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:10.560 This is amazing they did, and some people could read. Now, 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:16.159 I said it build this phenomenal new radio in forty 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:21.640 five minutes. The revolutionary Earla Sirkloyd five factory built kit 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:26.920 spelt bilt is forty nine dollars and fifty. 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:29.000 Cents, so they could read what they couldn't spell. 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:34.960 Yeah, if it's factory built. But it's a kit. Huh oh, 0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:38.879 well it continues, ready cut, flexible, thaughderless leads makes it 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:44.000 ridiculously easy to wire, so the radio comes complete, except 0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:47.600 you have to connect a handful of wires literally. I 0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:50.679 guess the idea was to suggest that you're saving money, 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:54.280 and you also want to claim you built the thing. Anyways, 0:22:54.520 --> 0:23:00.760 amazing new inductance principle britains results hardly thought possible. Isn't 0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:04.520 bragging about that. It isn't new principles of inductance like 0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:07.480 new laws of physics. It didn't know we could think. 0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:12.119 So send for the book Better Radio Reception, all right, 0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:15.600 hold on, So inductance principles didn't change because of anything 0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:18.320 the company did. But nonetheless, buy this book and how 0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:22.680 to string an antenna and it'll work great. Finally, now 0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:25.320 anyone can build the finest of receivers and only a 0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.760 few minutes. Wait a minute, it was forty five minutes 0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:30.159 earlier in the article. 0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:34.600 Well, you know, a few is relative. You know how 0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:39.159 much time you actually have. So if you've got an 0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:41.600 hour to live, if you've got an hour to live 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:44.760 and build the radio in that hour, it's interminably long 0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:46.400 forty five minutes. I'll tell you. 0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:50.159 That if you failed miserably assembling toys Christmas morning, and 0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:53.320 never mind trying to build furniture for Mykia, you could 0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:55.760 probably still do this one. 0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:58.200 You know what I love? This is what I can't do. 0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:01.920 Other people are just fine doing it. You'd be great 0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:04.800 at it because you're just good at this kind of stuff. 0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:08.280 I cannot learn. How do you put anything together from 0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:11.200 watching a YouTube video? I can't. 0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:13.520 Well. 0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:17.840 And the first problem with the scenario is you better 0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:20.800 pick the right YouTube video. That's the thing. Yeah, exactly, 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:24.359 I don't know what I'm doing, but here let me 0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:27.160 show everyone else how not to do it. I remember 0:24:27.520 --> 0:24:29.560 a car that Murray had one time. You need to 0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:31.399 figure out how to get the top off the engine. 0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:33.840 So he replace a spark plug and the first thing 0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:35.680 the guy grabbed the chrow bar. 0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:41.440 No, not a good sign. Not a good all right, Ricky? Well, 0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:42.879 thank you that again. 0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:47.760 That's the What was the brand name URLOW, which actually 0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:51.800 stands for Electrical Research Laboratories of Chicago, Illinois. 0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:58.320 And the model was a Mono Dick. Yes, that's fifty 0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:01.280 a Mono Dick. Acwer do you remember the key the 0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:03.280 heath kits from Radio Shack. 0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:07.959 Well those were two different things. But yeah, the heath kit, 0:25:08.359 --> 0:25:11.840 heath kits from Heath and then Zenas bought them out later. 0:25:12.440 --> 0:25:14.320 I built a couple of those when I was when 0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:16.280 I was a kid, and yeah they were awesome. 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:19.160 How easy were those to put together? Easier than this one? 0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:23.879 Oh heavens no, No, that was. You've got a box 0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:28.680 of parts and a set of encyclopedias with instructions, and 0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:30.320 you better pay attention. 0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:32.640 To learn how it was to learn how to put 0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:36.199 a radio together. Go online to Old Radio Rick at 0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:41.639 gmail dot com. Thank you, sir. Good morning, bright and 0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:46.159 bushy tailed.

But the coak's out 0:27:30.840 --> 0:27:31.399 of jail, so. 0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:36.600 I fire out yesterday.

Well, 0:27:47.880 --> 0:27:53.200 if Oliver's out, he would be entertainment. I know, Buzz 0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:55.640 would be good entertainment too. I had to figure out. 0:27:55.800 --> 0:27:58.040 It looks like Buzz is having like a yard sale 0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:00.480 up at his house there. I'm not sure what happening. 0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:03.359 Isn't that like every day? 0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:08.280 Yeah? This week more so? 0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:17.080 Right, yep, so, oh, it's amazing. Well listen, tell everybody, 0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:19.800 Goober says hey, and it's good to talk to you 0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:21.840 as always, Sherry. What's the weather forecast? 0:28:21.880 --> 0:28:25.359 Honey, Oh, the weather's going to go downhill. It's be 0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:28.720 halfway decent today. Then it's going to get colder. And 0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:31.440 they dance some snow flurries on Sunday night and this's 0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:34.640 and that. So all right, get your warm coats out, all. 0:28:34.640 --> 0:28:38.200 Right, keep your keep your beaver warm for sure. All right, guys, 0:28:38.880 --> 0:28:42.720 have a fantastic weekend. Thank you, bye bye. It's coming 0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:45.720 up on six forty and our friend, another friend that 0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:49.640 I am grateful for, is already waiting in the wings, 0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:52.160 and I don't know if his breath has been baited 0:28:52.240 --> 0:28:56.280 yet or not. But usually Steve from Edna, Ohio with 0:28:56.440 --> 0:29:00.640 news of the week and more coming up. All was 0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:05.560 thankful for his thoughtful commentaries and observations. The headlines of 0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:07.720 the day and the history of yesterday and how it 0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:11.240 relates to Now, my friend Steve fer Met in Ohio 0:29:11.280 --> 0:29:15.840 first and foremost. This morning, Steven, we're talking about, you know, 0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:17.840 when people want to know where did all of those 0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:23.560 tax dollars go at nine billion at least in Minnesota alone, 0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:27.160 at least seven hundred million went through the airport in 0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:31.760 Minneapolis straight to Somalia. Correct, Oh yeah. 0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:35.880 Oh yeah, I got this report. And by the way, 0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:43.480 news changes and flows so damn fast that you know 0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:46.120 on Monday and Tuesday, I have a preliminary report I'm 0:29:46.120 --> 0:29:52.479 ready to go with. Wisely, I waited until yesterday to 0:29:52.600 --> 0:29:55.960 hear everything that had happened in the meantime, and there 0:29:56.000 --> 0:30:00.920 was plenty and this was a big story. Glenn Beck, 0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:05.840 who appears on a lot of iHeartRadio stations and the 0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:13.440 New York Posts have investigative reporters in Minnesota, and they 0:30:13.480 --> 0:30:21.280 came up with this gem. Yes, seven hundred million dollars 0:30:21.320 --> 0:30:26.120 in suitcases, I assume maybe a million dollars eat to 0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:33.680 the International Airport in Minneapolis. Absolutely amazing over a twenty 0:30:34.240 --> 0:30:39.560 month period, and all of that money went to Somalia. 0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:42.800 Now that was the report. It raised a hell of 0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:49.240 a lot of questions. Do they X ray, do they 0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:54.480 ask you to open your suitcase when you go through 0:30:54.720 --> 0:31:00.920 the Minneapolis airport. And how many times did they do it? 0:31:01.080 --> 0:31:04.240 Was it seven hundred? Was it three hundred and fifty? 0:31:06.160 --> 0:31:11.880 I found this story absolutely amazing, and it copped the 0:31:11.960 --> 0:31:18.840 one about the woman being shot by the cop absolutely amazing. 0:31:20.600 --> 0:31:24.320 The second story this week, this actually did occur earlier 0:31:24.360 --> 0:31:29.920 in the week. Mom Donnie has some fruitcake, white chick. 0:31:30.160 --> 0:31:34.560 It's amazing how white people are involved in Minnesota and 0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:38.360 New York now and all of the crazy stuff that's 0:31:38.400 --> 0:31:42.640 going on, which is anti white. But she wants to 0:31:42.760 --> 0:31:51.280 kick white people out of their rent enforced and controlled 0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:57.920 abode in Manhattan. And I heard this and I thought, 0:31:58.760 --> 0:32:02.760 my god, is this a game of can you match? 0:32:02.920 --> 0:32:06.440 Can you top this? Every week they come up with 0:32:06.480 --> 0:32:13.400 something like this, and I'm getting ahead himself. The twenty 0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:18.480 twenty one Infrastructure Bill, which we talked about two three 0:32:18.560 --> 0:32:25.760 years ago, was it started about three point five three 0:32:25.760 --> 0:32:30.040 point seven trillion dollars. I think it got pared down 0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:34.000 to one point seven at the end. But you got 0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:37.400 to read the whole bill. When they come up with 0:32:37.480 --> 0:32:42.240 this crap, you can't trust the titles. And what we 0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:50.240 found in that bill was a grant proposal for the 0:32:50.280 --> 0:33:00.160 States if they promoted multi family dwellings and soon even 0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:06.000 as I saw this, I thought, oh wow, the single 0:33:06.160 --> 0:33:14.080 family home is going out the window. They don't like that, 0:33:14.560 --> 0:33:16.360 And of course it was amazing. At the time we 0:33:16.440 --> 0:33:20.960 pointed out that every major Democrat in this country has 0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:27.800 at least one Obama has three homes, and they're all 0:33:27.840 --> 0:33:31.200 single family homes, and they're all detached. And I will 0:33:31.280 --> 0:33:35.160 use the word detached because it reminds me of a 0:33:35.280 --> 0:33:38.800 real estate show that I used to watch on BBC, 0:33:40.080 --> 0:33:46.160 and it was really interesting to see really expensive homes 0:33:47.120 --> 0:33:52.000 where if it's attached to the home next to it, 0:33:52.440 --> 0:33:57.800 maybe on either side, it is cheaper than the single 0:33:57.880 --> 0:34:05.120 family detached home. And I thought, why did they do 0:34:05.160 --> 0:34:08.560 this in Britain? But I just put it aside. But 0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:13.479 this brought back memories of that. Uh, just just think 0:34:13.520 --> 0:34:18.160 about what they're trying to do. They are attacking homesteads. 0:34:18.880 --> 0:34:21.640 And the last thing that I wanted to mention this 0:34:21.760 --> 0:34:26.600 was a gratifying report. Of all the stories that have 0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:30.200 popped up along the border, this one pleased me the most. 0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:33.200 We have a bunch of ranchers, we have a bunch 0:34:33.239 --> 0:34:38.479 of farmers, who own land that's contiguous obviously to the river, 0:34:39.239 --> 0:34:44.960 and they obviously got overrun every day for four years. 0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:48.960 Uh and the sith they could not maintain their properties. 0:34:49.320 --> 0:34:51.799 And I thought to myself was wait a minute, wait 0:34:51.800 --> 0:34:57.360 a minute. Was this intentional by the administration to destroy 0:34:57.440 --> 0:34:59.640 the single family farm? 0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:00.360 Well? 0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:06.560 I saw pictures this week video these ranchers, and by 0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:09.520 the way, a lot of them are Hispanic. I just 0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:14.440 thought i'd mentioned that. And they are cleaning their fields, 0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:19.640 they are farming their fields, they're you know, taking care 0:35:19.719 --> 0:35:24.160 of cattle and that sort of thing as they normally 0:35:24.760 --> 0:35:31.480 would do. Think about this, folks, the single family farm, 0:35:31.800 --> 0:35:36.440 which is a mainstay of the American economy, the single 0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:42.880 family home. They are trying to destroy this, And that 0:35:43.160 --> 0:35:45.680 was what I gathered from this week. 0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:50.400 What do you think, Well, Steve, I think it's a 0:35:50.440 --> 0:35:53.400 fantastic report. I'm glad you brought it to light this morning. 0:35:53.480 --> 0:35:58.560 And what I think is that they're trying to eliminate 0:35:58.600 --> 0:36:04.520 individual autonomy. Of course, our Constitution was written for the individual. 0:36:05.080 --> 0:36:09.200 It wasn't written for the collective. It wasn't written for 0:36:09.280 --> 0:36:13.399 the greater good. It was to give the individual, the hm, 0:36:13.600 --> 0:36:21.440 the her, their children. Individual rights, not collective rights. And 0:36:21.480 --> 0:36:24.440 they're coming right out in New York City and saying 0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:29.840 the collective mom, Donnie and the woman that Steve Resference 0:36:29.960 --> 0:36:33.800 does see a Weaver who famously in twenty twenty one 0:36:34.000 --> 0:36:39.480 said that especially white people should have no rights to 0:36:39.719 --> 0:36:47.800 have individual home ownership. We should reimagine that very very commy. 0:36:48.800 --> 0:36:54.000 It's not even socialist. It's communist. Anytime someone talks about 0:36:54.040 --> 0:36:59.719 the collective over the individual, no matter what that individual's skin, 0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:06.200 it's communism and it's evil and it's killed more people 0:37:06.239 --> 0:37:11.120 over the last century than any other form of government 0:37:11.239 --> 0:37:14.439 or social order. And that's what there I just saw 0:37:14.480 --> 0:37:16.880 this morning. There is a proposed bill in the state 0:37:16.920 --> 0:37:20.760 of Massachusetts to limit how many miles you can drive 0:37:22.239 --> 0:37:25.600 because they don't want your freedom of movement, your individual 0:37:25.600 --> 0:37:28.359 freedom of movement. We saw a lot of that in 0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:32.960 the early COVID restrictions. It was wrong then, it's wrong now. 0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:37.120 Ray in Loveland, Brother Scott, I am so grateful for you. 0:37:37.200 --> 0:37:38.280 How are you this morning? 0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:42.120 Good morning, Good morning, my friend, good morning, and God's 0:37:42.200 --> 0:37:47.840 blessing to your dear sweet wife, Krista. I'm so overjoyed 0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:51.480 to hear about the great care she's receiving, and we 0:37:51.760 --> 0:37:55.320 join our prayers now as we have in the past 0:37:55.400 --> 0:37:58.440 and as we shall in the future, for her complete 0:37:58.480 --> 0:37:59.960 and full recovery. 0:38:00.160 --> 0:38:00.319 God. 0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:05.560 Amen, praise, very very very thankful for the care she received, 0:38:06.000 --> 0:38:11.759 Thankful for God's relentless pursuit of her and all of us. 0:38:12.200 --> 0:38:15.879 It's just a beautiful, beautiful thing. And I love your 0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:20.560 topic this morning. I'm very thankful for you and a 0:38:20.719 --> 0:38:23.880 leave on this note. On this note, and that is 0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:27.360 family and friends will feed you when money will fail you. 0:38:28.120 --> 0:38:32.040 And I'm very thankful to have friends like you and 0:38:32.120 --> 0:38:36.000 Christ in our little happy, happy bunch this morning. So 0:38:36.200 --> 0:38:38.040 God bless you, brother, all the very best. 0:38:38.400 --> 0:38:43.040 Thank you for feeding me literally over the years and spiritually. 0:38:43.200 --> 0:38:48.120 Brother into another hour of the Saturday Morning edition for 0:38:48.239 --> 0:38:53.080 this Saturday, January tenth, twenty twenty six. I'm Gary Jeff Walker, 0:38:53.920 --> 0:38:56.840 you or you, and that is perfectly fine with me. Rejoice, 0:38:56.880 --> 0:39:00.560 all us pray, continually, give thanks and all circumstance for 0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:04.280 this is God's will for you and Christ. Jesus Amen. 0:39:05.840 --> 0:39:09.160 It's a gratitude show this morning, and it's not even Thanksgiving. 0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:13.959 Steve Sulty, good morning, my friend, Good morning, Gary Jeff 0:39:15.200 --> 0:39:20.200 grateful for you. And I saw your text about praying 0:39:20.239 --> 0:39:22.920 for Christ on a daily basis. He's in your daily prayers. 0:39:22.920 --> 0:39:28.279 We appreciate that, along with everybody else who took time, 0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:32.280 who knew what was going on with her to petition 0:39:32.400 --> 0:39:37.320 in front of the Lord for her, and well, surprise, surprise, 0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:40.960 it worked. 0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:41.759 Very good, very good. 0:39:43.400 --> 0:39:47.400 So, as I said in my text earlier, taking a 0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:50.360 little bit different taxes this morning. I know you always 0:39:50.440 --> 0:39:53.640 like to hear things about, you know, climate change and 0:39:53.680 --> 0:39:55.439 the hope that it is so on and so forth. 0:39:55.480 --> 0:40:00.160 But anyway, saw something this past week. For many many years, 0:40:00.160 --> 0:40:03.560 probably many decades actually, I've been I've supported an organization 0:40:03.680 --> 0:40:07.960 called Property Environment and Environment Research Center of the NINEUS 0:40:08.280 --> 0:40:10.560 PERK and Bozeman, Montana. 0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:11.440 UH. 0:40:11.560 --> 0:40:16.880 They combine free in voluntary markets, property rights and with conservation. 0:40:17.160 --> 0:40:22.160 So if anybody's interested at p e ERC dot org. 0:40:22.280 --> 0:40:26.279 SO got their winter issue of PERK Reports and had 0:40:26.280 --> 0:40:29.200 a lot of nice little stuff in it, but two 0:40:29.280 --> 0:40:32.960 of them caught my eye. I know a lot of people, 0:40:33.480 --> 0:40:36.280 you know, know about the Endangered Species Act and how 0:40:36.320 --> 0:40:40.239 bad it is giving people incentives to shoot, shovel and 0:40:40.320 --> 0:40:47.359 shut up. So Perk's legal wins shapes new Endangered Species reformed. 0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:51.759 The US Fish and Wildlife Services proposed to overhaul parts 0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:56.560 of the Endangered Species Act policy and particularly rescinding the 0:40:56.600 --> 0:41:00.719 controversial quote blanket four D rule for threatened species, as 0:41:00.760 --> 0:41:05.200 well as other broader changes of captat designation, consulting standards, 0:41:05.200 --> 0:41:09.040 and topics. The announcement follows Perk and the Rocky Mountain 0:41:09.120 --> 0:41:14.920 Elk Foundation's successful joint lilitication challenging the agency's reliance on 0:41:14.960 --> 0:41:16.640 this one size fits. 0:41:16.360 --> 0:41:17.439 All four D rule. 0:41:17.560 --> 0:41:20.720 And we hear that a lot in bureaucracies, one size 0:41:20.719 --> 0:41:22.440 that all exactly Steve. 0:41:22.680 --> 0:41:25.560 For those who don't, what is the four D rule. 0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:31.120 Well, basically they look at everything, not species specific, but 0:41:31.320 --> 0:41:34.480 one size fits all, whether it's a threatened fish or 0:41:34.600 --> 0:41:39.160 bird or cat or whatever. One size fits all. So 0:41:39.320 --> 0:41:43.399 now they want to they're they're making they want They 0:41:43.440 --> 0:41:47.080 litigated this case and one and now the US What 0:41:47.280 --> 0:41:51.239 Dish Wildlife Service has to do proposed reforms and they 0:41:51.280 --> 0:41:56.520 have been proposed h to restore Congress's original intent, which 0:41:56.600 --> 0:42:01.680 is tailored, science driven rules and that reward conservation. So 0:42:02.520 --> 0:42:05.920 you know, rules change, whether you're looking at a fish, 0:42:06.000 --> 0:42:12.080 a bird, you know, a rat, whatever. So Uh, this 0:42:12.200 --> 0:42:19.040 is a great step in helping actually to promote recovery 0:42:19.640 --> 0:42:24.760 and conservation versus what is happening before is punishing people 0:42:25.000 --> 0:42:27.920 again in the past. If in the past, if you 0:42:28.000 --> 0:42:31.440 found something that you thought was a threatened species, you 0:42:31.440 --> 0:42:34.200 you know the rule was, I mean, what became is 0:42:34.239 --> 0:42:37.800 shoot shovel, shovel and shut up. The last thing you 0:42:37.840 --> 0:42:40.200 wanted to do is a threatened species on your property. 0:42:41.239 --> 0:42:42.640 Basically the government took it over. 0:42:43.200 --> 0:42:43.439 Yeah. 0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:47.960 This this allows for customized species specific regulations for threatened 0:42:47.960 --> 0:42:53.800 species under the Endangered Species Act, enabling tailored conservation measures 0:42:54.040 --> 0:42:57.719 measures rather than applying blank and endangered species prohibition. 0:42:58.680 --> 0:42:59.400 So you got it. 0:42:59.480 --> 0:43:04.080 You got flexibility to permit specific low impact activities like 0:43:04.120 --> 0:43:08.719 certain land management or agricultural practices, while protecting the species 0:43:08.719 --> 0:43:13.680 from significant harm. You got it, all right. I didn't 0:43:13.719 --> 0:43:16.400 know it. I gurgled it. Go ahead. 0:43:16.480 --> 0:43:18.200 Yeah. 0:43:18.360 --> 0:43:21.600 The next one, the title caught my eye. So that's 0:43:21.640 --> 0:43:24.359 why I read it and said, for beavers, it's one 0:43:24.440 --> 0:43:26.120 damn thing after another, of course. 0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:27.880 Oh okay. 0:43:28.520 --> 0:43:31.719 Two new studies highlight just how effective fevers are at 0:43:31.760 --> 0:43:35.520 creating rich, diverse wetlands, out performing human built ponds by 0:43:35.520 --> 0:43:39.360 a wide margin. Researchers found that beaver engineered sites hosted 0:43:39.440 --> 0:43:43.520 twice as many hoverflies and nearly fifty percent more butterflies 0:43:43.880 --> 0:43:47.560 and a broader diversion of bats than comparable human made 0:43:47.560 --> 0:43:51.279 ponds or free flowing streams. The findings added to a 0:43:51.320 --> 0:43:54.600 growing body of evans said fevers are powerful, low cost 0:43:54.640 --> 0:43:59.400 partners and watershed restoration, route resilience, and ham aitat creation. 0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:02.240 As landowners and agency. 0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:07.400 Seek scalable tools for ecological improvement, these ecological engineers continue 0:44:07.480 --> 0:44:11.560 to demonstrate to sometimes the best restoration strategy is simply 0:44:11.680 --> 0:44:12.959 giving nature. 0:44:13.000 --> 0:44:13.759 Room to work. 0:44:14.000 --> 0:44:16.920 How about that the Army Corps of Engineer needs to 0:44:17.000 --> 0:44:18.640 hire some beavers. 0:44:19.640 --> 0:44:23.560 So basically, what if you want to improve your ecological 0:44:24.400 --> 0:44:28.320 area of a stream and whatnot create something that beavers 0:44:28.360 --> 0:44:33.759 will love to habitat, and you know, at very low 0:44:33.800 --> 0:44:34.840 costs or no costs. 0:44:35.440 --> 0:44:39.040 All right, So I am grateful for beavers this morning, Steve, 0:44:39.160 --> 0:44:43.040 thank you on this show of gratitude. I am grateful 0:44:43.120 --> 0:44:48.200 for our next segment. I got named Tom Davis worked 0:44:48.239 --> 0:44:52.960 here in the news department at seven hundred WLW up 0:44:53.000 --> 0:44:58.240 till I forget when Tom left. But back in twenty fifteen, 0:44:58.440 --> 0:45:01.279 I asked the news director Jeff Henderson, the guy who 0:45:01.360 --> 0:45:03.720 was in charge of the news department at the time, 0:45:04.280 --> 0:45:10.399 another great guy, good news director. I said, because Tom 0:45:10.480 --> 0:45:13.040 usually did the news in the mornings, and I said, 0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:17.960 if Tom has time, I'd like him for a segment 0:45:18.000 --> 0:45:23.280 on Saturday morning show. And Jeff's only thing was he said, Okay, 0:45:23.320 --> 0:45:27.440 you can't get into politics, because that was back when 0:45:27.520 --> 0:45:34.000 news departments still were more straight down the middle and 0:45:34.120 --> 0:45:38.360 didn't get into commentary and politics in their newscasts. I said, no, 0:45:38.440 --> 0:45:42.560 that's fine. I'm thinking about maybe having him just look 0:45:42.640 --> 0:45:46.400 for wild news stories from around the country, kind of 0:45:46.440 --> 0:45:52.920 like smoking gun stuff, fark the onion, just wild different 0:45:52.920 --> 0:45:56.040 stories from around the nation, around the world, and he 0:45:56.040 --> 0:45:59.239 could do a report on that, And so Jeff gave 0:45:59.280 --> 0:46:02.839 the green light and Tom wanted to do it. Tom 0:46:02.960 --> 0:46:07.080 has an extensive history in broadcasting, not just news. Today, 0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:12.480 Tom's at a classic rock station in Indianapolis, and like 0:46:12.520 --> 0:46:15.399 I said, he left our employee a long long time ago. 0:46:17.400 --> 0:46:20.000 But when he did leave, I said, Tom, can you 0:46:20.080 --> 0:46:24.919 still do the diaries thing on Saturday Morning? He checked 0:46:24.960 --> 0:46:28.799 with his bosses and I checked here and there were 0:46:28.800 --> 0:46:32.560 no conflicts, no problems with that, and even though he 0:46:32.600 --> 0:46:37.720 doesn't get paid a dime, he does research every week 0:46:37.880 --> 0:46:40.359 and puts together these little minute and a half two 0:46:40.440 --> 0:46:45.640 minute news casts of wacky stuff that you hear every 0:46:45.640 --> 0:46:51.480 Saturday morning. So I'm grateful that Tom. And when he 0:46:51.520 --> 0:46:53.400 takes a week off, it doesn't affect his pay at 0:46:53.440 --> 0:46:56.879 all because he's not getting paid a dime for doing it. 0:46:59.200 --> 0:47:02.760 And I joke with him about that. He still continues 0:47:02.800 --> 0:47:06.799 to do it anyway, because he he loves being on 0:47:06.880 --> 0:47:11.960 the air, And I'm gonna assume that means he loves 0:47:12.400 --> 0:47:15.600 being on the air on my show, because after all 0:47:15.640 --> 0:47:21.239 these years of not working here anymore, he still does 0:47:21.280 --> 0:47:24.640 these reports. And here is another one of the Tom 0:47:24.719 --> 0:47:32.400 Davis diaries I like to refer to as the and 0:47:32.480 --> 0:47:34.800 you know what it is. And here's this week's crop 0:47:36.000 --> 0:47:40.040 a weird crap from all over the country. Tom Davis, please, 0:47:40.480 --> 0:47:41.680 good morning, Gary, Jeff. 0:47:41.800 --> 0:47:45.200 This week, her name is Wendy and she knows exactly 0:47:45.239 --> 0:47:48.760 where the beef is. But first in winter Haven, Florida, 0:47:48.840 --> 0:47:52.239 my man recently broke into a home to use the microwave. 0:47:52.400 --> 0:47:56.520 John Crookham left his wallet behind and told cops he 0:47:56.560 --> 0:47:58.800 was hungry and just wanted to eat some hot pockets 0:47:59.000 --> 0:48:02.520 and some Vienna saw messages. The homeowner found the wall 0:48:02.680 --> 0:48:04.760 with John's ID and credit cards inside. 0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:06.239 He was charged with burglary. 0:48:07.400 --> 0:48:10.200 Meanwhile, in Uzbekistan, a woman is lucky to be alive 0:48:10.320 --> 0:48:13.440 after a set of birthday cake sparklers exploded in her face. 0:48:13.760 --> 0:48:17.279 The birthday girl was receiving her cake from friends when 0:48:17.280 --> 0:48:21.600 the sparklers touched a hydrogen filled balloon and exploded. The 0:48:21.640 --> 0:48:24.040 blaze lasted only a few seconds, but it was so 0:48:24.160 --> 0:48:26.799 big that it engulfed the entire doorway. 0:48:27.320 --> 0:48:28.600 Luckily, nobody was hurt. 0:48:29.000 --> 0:48:31.960 In Louisiana, a woman was recently arrested after attacking a 0:48:32.040 --> 0:48:35.759 cop while swimming nude in a private pond. Aaron Elizabeth 0:48:35.840 --> 0:48:39.040 Sutton claimed that she was quote trying to be a 0:48:39.120 --> 0:48:43.200 mermaid unquote. She resisted officers and even charged at one 0:48:43.280 --> 0:48:44.080 kicking and punching. 0:48:44.560 --> 0:48:46.960 She was charged with battery and criminal trespassing. 0:48:47.440 --> 0:48:51.000 And Finally, a Florida tattoo shop owner, Wendy Marshall was 0:48:51.080 --> 0:48:54.480 going viral because she eats two pounds of raw meat 0:48:54.640 --> 0:48:58.480 on a daily basis. Her favorite cuts include ground chuck, 0:48:58.719 --> 0:49:03.520 Colt Cuts US, and Porterhouse. Wendy says the meat causes 0:49:03.560 --> 0:49:06.719 her to burp loudly. Wendy has been eating raw meat 0:49:06.760 --> 0:49:10.319 since childhood, when she and her grandmother used to chew 0:49:10.360 --> 0:49:15.680 the fat off of it. Next week, the seventy five 0:49:15.719 --> 0:49:18.800 year old lady pretending to be a cop tasering people 0:49:18.920 --> 0:49:20.240 in the Walmart parking lot. 0:49:20.719 --> 0:49:26.799 Have a great weekend. You into another hour of this 0:49:27.120 --> 0:49:34.440 Saturday morning edition The Gratitude Show, and this next guy 0:49:34.440 --> 0:49:38.239 I'm definitely grateful for by the way, Chris to two 0:49:38.280 --> 0:49:41.200 point zero. Of course, I'm grateful you, dear, grateful that 0:49:41.239 --> 0:49:44.800 you're on the mend, on the way to feeling better. 0:49:45.280 --> 0:49:47.600 I have a surprise for you when I get home. 0:49:49.080 --> 0:49:53.399 Not another word, thanks, brother Ray Scott of Lovelin. Now, 0:49:53.560 --> 0:49:57.520 this guy has been dutifully giving us some kind of 0:49:58.040 --> 0:50:04.520 scientific information on this program, but almost as well as 0:50:04.520 --> 0:50:06.239 long as I can remember science. 0:50:06.200 --> 0:50:09.440 As a night scientist hit surprising all, binding me. 0:50:09.600 --> 0:50:14.400 With and yet another science minute on a Saturday. Good morning, Michael, 0:50:14.400 --> 0:50:14.920 how are. 0:50:14.800 --> 0:50:17.600 You Gratitude Saturday? 0:50:18.320 --> 0:50:20.560 Yes, sad to be here, Great to be here. 0:50:21.480 --> 0:50:21.839 I've been. 0:50:22.640 --> 0:50:26.000 I've heard Steve segment earlier. I was pro beaver before 0:50:26.360 --> 0:50:28.799 Hugh Beaumont. So let me just tell you that. 0:50:33.280 --> 0:50:36.040 Lord if you if you got that reference, you're as 0:50:36.080 --> 0:50:37.360 old as us. Thank you. 0:50:39.560 --> 0:50:43.839 So this is a kind of science, but it's business related. Also, 0:50:43.920 --> 0:50:46.439 I can't believe this hasn't hit hit your news yet 0:50:46.480 --> 0:50:53.200 because yesterday Meta, which is Facebook, signed and the dollar 0:50:53.200 --> 0:50:54.400 amount was not disclosed. 0:50:54.400 --> 0:50:55.040 They signed a. 0:50:55.080 --> 0:51:00.439 Huge nuclear power deal with three nuclear power plans. I'll 0:51:00.480 --> 0:51:03.279 explain why this relates that directly to us here, but 0:51:05.560 --> 0:51:08.600 to get six point six gigawatts, that's enough power to 0:51:08.680 --> 0:51:13.640 power over five million homes by twenty thirty five. Now, 0:51:13.680 --> 0:51:16.600 the three companies that they that they made a deal 0:51:16.640 --> 0:51:22.160 with Terra Power, Oklow and Vistra, and I'll get to 0:51:22.200 --> 0:51:25.120 the specifics of Viscera. It's very interesting. But Terra Power 0:51:25.880 --> 0:51:29.600 they're going to build Meta and they've already have two 0:51:29.640 --> 0:51:33.280 of them under contract, but six more SMR small module 0:51:33.320 --> 0:51:37.040 reactors they called Natrium reactors where they're based on sodium 0:51:37.080 --> 0:51:38.360 cooling science. 0:51:39.400 --> 0:51:40.520 They don't know where these. 0:51:40.440 --> 0:51:43.440 Reactors are going to be built yet, they may be 0:51:43.480 --> 0:51:46.720 built around in this area. And explain why because currently 0:51:46.760 --> 0:51:50.799 Meta has a huge data center facility being built in 0:51:50.840 --> 0:51:54.640 New Albany, Ohio, which is outside Columbus, and that's going 0:51:54.719 --> 0:51:58.760 to take about one gigawats to power. The other company, 0:51:59.520 --> 0:52:02.480 these two Vistra. You may remember Vistra. They change their name. 0:52:02.520 --> 0:52:06.000 They were called First Energy, yep, and First Energy runs 0:52:06.080 --> 0:52:08.960 Davis Bessie and they also run Ferry. And you might 0:52:09.000 --> 0:52:12.440 remember those two because a guy named Larry Householder got 0:52:12.440 --> 0:52:14.920 sent up the river because he took a little bit 0:52:14.920 --> 0:52:20.280 of bride money to keep those in existence for the voting, 0:52:20.360 --> 0:52:22.840 remember all that going down about five years ago. He 0:52:22.920 --> 0:52:26.120 really didn't need to do that because now Vistra is 0:52:26.120 --> 0:52:29.520 going to be paid by Meta to not only buy 0:52:29.760 --> 0:52:33.040 over two years people WoT the power from them, and 0:52:33.120 --> 0:52:35.480 also renew their license for the next twenty years and 0:52:35.719 --> 0:52:39.360 expand the plants. Okay, so that's a huge thing for 0:52:39.719 --> 0:52:41.920 northern Ohio. I don't know if it's good for the area. 0:52:42.280 --> 0:52:46.719 But and you've been up there to see oak Harver, right, 0:52:46.719 --> 0:52:47.319 you've been up. 0:52:47.200 --> 0:52:50.880 By Yeah, the cloud maker is they call. 0:52:51.000 --> 0:52:52.840 Clouds, That's what my kids always called it. 0:52:52.920 --> 0:52:53.160 Yeah. 0:52:53.239 --> 0:52:55.880 And the second the third company, Darry Jeff is Oaklow. 0:52:56.680 --> 0:52:58.640 Now Oaklow is going to is going to build a 0:52:58.719 --> 0:53:02.360 one point two giggle why a nuclear reactor down in 0:53:02.400 --> 0:53:08.440 Pike County for Meta. So, uh, this is like a 0:53:08.440 --> 0:53:10.440 big deal for the state of Ohio for all these 0:53:11.680 --> 0:53:14.239 reactors that are going to be built and expanded here 0:53:14.239 --> 0:53:17.440 and in our in our state. So uh, no doubt 0:53:17.000 --> 0:53:20.120 the technology is there for these reactors to be uh 0:53:20.640 --> 0:53:23.400 not water based, but sodium based for cooling and uh 0:53:23.800 --> 0:53:27.200 thermal energy stories for surges and things like that. So 0:53:27.280 --> 0:53:30.800 this is uh it's interesting to read read about. 0:53:31.920 --> 0:53:35.480 Well President President Trump's trying to do everything you can 0:53:35.560 --> 0:53:38.880 to get our gas prices down. What about our electric prices? 0:53:39.920 --> 0:53:41.880 That's that's what it'll mean something to me. 0:53:43.040 --> 0:53:45.200 I know. I just try to see if we get 0:53:45.239 --> 0:53:47.799 to foot the bill for this thing or metas paying 0:53:47.840 --> 0:53:48.120 for all this. 0:53:49.400 --> 0:53:51.680 Yeah, I thought all I thought all the data centers 0:53:51.680 --> 0:53:53.040 were paying for their own power. 0:53:53.760 --> 0:53:57.600 So well, well, yeah, go check your electric rates from 0:53:57.680 --> 0:54:00.560 three years ago to now your costs right exactly. 0:54:00.760 --> 0:54:03.040 Thank you, Thank you, Michael. Have a great Saturday, eight 0:54:03.080 --> 0:54:06.839 eleven at seven underd wl do for several years now 0:54:06.920 --> 0:54:09.400 has been bringing us the Word of God every Saturday 0:54:09.480 --> 0:54:12.359 morning with the Bible verse of the day.

I'm thankful for that they're 1:00:15.240 --> 1:00:20.560 still together. They have survived, and outside of giving me 1:00:20.720 --> 1:00:24.560 life and given me the tools to get through life, 1:00:24.640 --> 1:00:28.400 they have also I realized, in the wake of my 1:00:29.000 --> 1:00:34.560 wife's procedure yesterday and the things we've been to given 1:00:34.640 --> 1:00:39.680 me the tools to be a good husband, whether I 1:00:39.800 --> 1:00:42.880 use them or not. And I am trying to utilize 1:00:42.960 --> 1:00:47.960 every bit of information and every tool they gave me 1:00:49.000 --> 1:00:51.120 so I could be at least as good a a 1:00:51.200 --> 1:00:54.120 husband I never will be as my dad has been 1:00:54.120 --> 1:00:59.560 to my mom. My dad has rheumatoid and soriatic arthritis. 1:01:00.120 --> 1:01:04.920 He's eighty nine years old. He has to be on 1:01:04.960 --> 1:01:10.800 oxygen all the time because of respiratory issues I think 1:01:11.600 --> 1:01:16.280 were brought about by an early unknown case of COVID 1:01:16.280 --> 1:01:19.480 in twenty nineteen up till then, he was taken along 1:01:19.640 --> 1:01:23.160 just fine, thank you. Outside of the arthritis. My mother 1:01:23.720 --> 1:01:27.400 is a machine. She's eighty eight and she is taking 1:01:27.440 --> 1:01:31.560 care of my dad and carrying the weight that he 1:01:31.720 --> 1:01:35.320 carried for so many years for our family, and they're 1:01:35.360 --> 1:01:40.400 both living independently, and I'm grateful for that. But they 1:01:40.520 --> 1:01:46.400 show me and continue to show me, what it means 1:01:47.000 --> 1:01:50.840 to be dedicated to another person. They are the living 1:01:50.920 --> 1:01:55.360 definition of for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, 1:01:57.240 --> 1:02:04.760 for good or bad, to be all was faithful to 1:02:04.880 --> 1:02:07.080 the person that you have pledged to be faithful for. 1:02:07.800 --> 1:02:11.960 Took me a long time to learn these lessons. But 1:02:12.160 --> 1:02:16.920 as I sat yesterday at Saint e Edgewood waiting for 1:02:17.040 --> 1:02:21.640 my wife's procedure to be done and believing that everything 1:02:21.680 --> 1:02:23.720 would be okay, which, by the way, it is, and 1:02:23.760 --> 1:02:29.720 thank you for all of your prayers, and then had 1:02:29.760 --> 1:02:33.560 to assist her into the car, out of the car, 1:02:34.320 --> 1:02:37.080 make sure she was as comfortable as possible yesterday, and 1:02:37.160 --> 1:02:42.520 take care of her, I once again was reminded of 1:02:42.560 --> 1:02:47.760 what love is really all about. It's about taking care 1:02:47.800 --> 1:02:51.000 of each other. And if you have that, you have 1:02:51.280 --> 1:02:57.160 everything you need. You don't need anything else in your life. 1:02:57.320 --> 1:03:02.280 And my mom and dad have taught me that. And 1:03:02.360 --> 1:03:05.720 I know there may come a day we know not 1:03:05.760 --> 1:03:10.120 when they won't be around, but they still will be 1:03:11.360 --> 1:03:17.120 with me in that way, and I am eternally grateful 1:03:19.200 --> 1:03:25.920 that God bless me with those parents. I'm sorry. So 1:03:26.040 --> 1:03:29.120 I guess my message in all of this is, no 1:03:29.160 --> 1:03:33.040 matter what you've got, be thankful for what you do have. 1:03:37.120 --> 1:03:40.480 And if you feel like you don't have anything, understand 1:03:40.480 --> 1:03:43.880 that there are people who have or believe they have 1:03:44.000 --> 1:03:47.160 less than you do. And I'm trying to remember that 1:03:47.240 --> 1:03:51.800 as well. Food for thought.

The 1:04:04.880 --> 1:04:07.880 guy's asleep in bed as telephone suddenly rings middle of 1:04:07.880 --> 1:04:12.280 the night. Hello, Signor Rod, this is Ernesto, the caretaker 1:04:12.320 --> 1:04:15.800 at your country house. Ah, yes, er Neesto. What can 1:04:15.840 --> 1:04:18.360 I do for you? Is there a problem?

My parrot, the one that won the international competition. 1:04:25.640 --> 1:04:29.720 He's dead, see Signor. That's the one that's a pity. 1:04:29.720 --> 1:04:32.600 I spent a small fortune on that bird. What did 1:04:32.600 --> 1:04:36.040 he die from? From eating the rotten meat? Signor Rod? 1:04:36.360 --> 1:04:40.080 Rotten meat?

Are you saying that my mansion is destroyed 1:05:13.120 --> 1:05:17.439 because of a candle? See Signor Rod. But there's electricity 1:05:17.480 --> 1:05:21.000 at the house. What was the candle for for the funeral? 1:05:21.320 --> 1:05:26.200 Senor Rod? What plully funeral? Your wife? Senior Rod. She 1:05:26.280 --> 1:05:28.520 showed up very late one night, and I thought she 1:05:28.680 --> 1:05:31.240 was a thief, so I hit her with the new 1:05:31.320 --> 1:05:37.120 tailor made super caught four sixty golf club, Ernesto. If 1:05:37.160 --> 1:05:43.840 you broke that club, you were in big trouble. Good morning, 1:05:44.880 --> 1:05:47.400 twenty minutes till the top of the hour, Saturday Morning edition, 1:05:47.480 --> 1:05:51.720 seven hundred WLW. I'm forgetting now how many years it 1:05:51.880 --> 1:05:56.280 was ago that I asked Scott Reinhardt, who's still the 1:05:56.280 --> 1:06:01.360 program director here, I said, have this idea, what about 1:06:01.440 --> 1:06:05.680 putting Moegger on the show talking sports every day? He said, 1:06:05.680 --> 1:06:08.600 I think that's an excellent idea. You know, I was 1:06:08.640 --> 1:06:11.800 looking to grab the the younger part of the audience, 1:06:11.840 --> 1:06:14.280 you know, because it's been so many years ago that 1:06:14.320 --> 1:06:19.360 I thought of Mo as younger demographic and now I 1:06:19.480 --> 1:06:23.320 still think of him as Moegger. And I'm very grateful 1:06:23.480 --> 1:06:26.080 that he's on the show every but not necessarily for 1:06:26.160 --> 1:06:29.400 the younger demographic. I was originally reaching for. 1:06:29.560 --> 1:06:30.000 Hey, Mo. 1:06:31.720 --> 1:06:36.480 Thirteen years thirteen years. See, I was appealing to a 1:06:36.520 --> 1:06:38.360 younger demographic then, wasn't I? 1:06:39.400 --> 1:06:39.680 You were? 1:06:42.720 --> 1:06:44.840 I just I mean, I just thought, you know, here, 1:06:44.880 --> 1:06:48.200 I am, this this old radio dude and doing this show, 1:06:48.960 --> 1:06:50.840 and a lot of the people were older who were 1:06:50.880 --> 1:06:54.720 on the show. I said, let's let's grab you know, 1:06:55.080 --> 1:06:58.760 a relatively younger kind of guy to talk sports that 1:06:58.840 --> 1:07:02.040 everybody knows and every but it relates to and moegar 1:07:02.120 --> 1:07:08.560 and thirteen years. That's that's incredible, man, Thanks. 1:07:07.520 --> 1:07:08.360 Well, thank you. 1:07:08.480 --> 1:07:10.919 What I was doing thirteen years ago on Friday nights 1:07:11.000 --> 1:07:13.920 is dramatically different than what I do on Friday nights now. 1:07:14.000 --> 1:07:17.160 So yeah, I think the quality of a Saturday morning 1:07:17.200 --> 1:07:21.920 phone call has probably improved because of that, but markedly years. 1:07:22.120 --> 1:07:25.280 I would say so yes, And I think I in 1:07:25.360 --> 1:07:28.880 turn not to you know, separate his shoulder, patting myself 1:07:28.920 --> 1:07:31.920 on the back. I think I've gotten better at approaching 1:07:32.040 --> 1:07:36.480 this segment and asking you stuff, because you know, there's 1:07:36.480 --> 1:07:39.480 been some Saturday mornings in past years where I just 1:07:39.560 --> 1:07:42.680 kind of bumbling around doing just a generic kind of 1:07:42.720 --> 1:07:48.280 sports conversation. So toward that end, let's talk about the 1:07:48.480 --> 1:07:52.200 elephant in the room, which almost doesn't fit in the 1:07:52.280 --> 1:07:55.320 room because it's so big, and that is the Indiana 1:07:55.360 --> 1:08:00.840 Hoosiers and their continual march towards what seems to be 1:08:00.880 --> 1:08:04.880 an inevitable college football championship. Last night, MO, I gotta 1:08:04.920 --> 1:08:08.280 tell you, I'm like, I'm hesitant. It'd been a long 1:08:08.360 --> 1:08:12.400 day yesterday with my wife at the hospital and coming home, 1:08:12.480 --> 1:08:14.720 and we got up early and I said, you know, 1:08:14.800 --> 1:08:18.160 I'm not going to be able to stay awake for 1:08:18.240 --> 1:08:21.680 this game, even though it was on relatively early comparison 1:08:21.760 --> 1:08:27.439 to other sporting events on TV. And I didn't have 1:08:27.520 --> 1:08:31.920 to wait long to figure out the outcome that was great. 1:08:33.880 --> 1:08:37.759 A game was over. Let's see it kicked off what seven, Yeah, 1:08:38.120 --> 1:08:41.160 was over I think by eighty five, so you could 1:08:41.439 --> 1:08:41.880 you can be. 1:08:42.200 --> 1:08:43.000 By nine o'clock. 1:08:43.439 --> 1:08:43.679 Yep. 1:08:44.400 --> 1:08:46.759 Indiana was the number one seed going into the college 1:08:46.800 --> 1:08:50.240 football playoffs, so it's it's not surprising in the least 1:08:50.560 --> 1:08:54.479 that they're playing for a national championship. I think the 1:08:54.479 --> 1:08:58.360 ease with which they have throttled the bluest of blue 1:08:58.400 --> 1:09:03.120 bloods in Alabama and a very good Oregon team in 1:09:03.320 --> 1:09:09.040 consecutive playoff games is frankly shocking, and maybe it shouldn't be. 1:09:09.120 --> 1:09:13.240 But you know, I don't recall anybody who follows this 1:09:13.320 --> 1:09:17.840 sport closely who thought Indiana's gonna get to the championship game, 1:09:17.840 --> 1:09:20.160 and they'll do so on the heels of just two 1:09:20.360 --> 1:09:26.200 absolute bludgeonings. They are an absolute machine. They've got the 1:09:26.200 --> 1:09:29.960 best quarterback in the country, the Heisman Trophy winner, weapons 1:09:30.000 --> 1:09:33.200 all over the place. They're physical, they can run with 1:09:33.240 --> 1:09:35.799 anybody downfield, they can beat at the line of scrimmage. 1:09:35.800 --> 1:09:38.960 On defense, like, I don't know what the weakness is now, 1:09:39.000 --> 1:09:42.879 They're gonna play a good Miami team that's very physical upfront. 1:09:43.600 --> 1:09:48.880 But man, it's been something to behold. The ease with 1:09:48.920 --> 1:09:51.759 which they have dominated the two teams they have played, 1:09:52.360 --> 1:09:55.439 frankly on the heels of dominating Ohio State's offense, they 1:09:55.479 --> 1:09:57.120 didn't necessarily dominate the game. 1:09:57.160 --> 1:09:59.439 It was a close game right up until. 1:09:59.240 --> 1:10:02.360 Last couple of minutes. But if you just if you 1:10:02.400 --> 1:10:05.040 didn't watch Indiana all season long, but you were aware 1:10:05.040 --> 1:10:07.520 of the story and thought, okay, it's kind of cute, 1:10:07.840 --> 1:10:10.240 think about what they have done in their last three games. 1:10:10.320 --> 1:10:13.559 They beat Ohio State, the defending national champion, the team 1:10:13.560 --> 1:10:15.599 that was number one in the country all year long. 1:10:16.040 --> 1:10:18.879 Beat Alabama, and it might not have been your typical 1:10:19.200 --> 1:10:23.280 Alabama team. They didn't win by seven points or ten 1:10:23.320 --> 1:10:26.000 points or a field goal in the last second. They 1:10:26.080 --> 1:10:28.040 beat them by thirty five. And then to do what 1:10:28.080 --> 1:10:32.080 they did to Oregon last night, completely and totally deconstruct them, 1:10:32.439 --> 1:10:35.879 and in all three the sets of circumstances on neutral 1:10:35.920 --> 1:10:42.920 fields is remarkable and awesome, and it's almost impossible to 1:10:42.960 --> 1:10:48.080 imagine them not beating the Miami Hurricanes a week from Monday. 1:10:47.800 --> 1:10:57.200 Night, looking past the CFP, I was watching Fernando Mendoza 1:10:58.080 --> 1:11:02.800 and and he's not the whole story with Indiana. Obviously, 1:11:03.160 --> 1:11:05.840 Kurt Signetti is the biggest part of that story because 1:11:05.840 --> 1:11:09.400 he brought these players together and brought this coaching staff together, 1:11:09.640 --> 1:11:12.519 and he's in the Nick Saban co coaching tree and 1:11:12.600 --> 1:11:15.760 all those things. He obviously is a great motivator and 1:11:15.840 --> 1:11:18.920 I think he's the biggest part of this Indiana success story. 1:11:19.120 --> 1:11:24.640 But watching Fernando Mendoza last night, mow and through these games, 1:11:24.120 --> 1:11:28.880 he's NFL ready right now. He he could go into 1:11:29.000 --> 1:11:34.280 any he could go into any NFL team situation, and 1:11:34.360 --> 1:11:37.599 he's ready to play. And I just hope the New 1:11:37.680 --> 1:11:40.200 York Jets do not ruin him too. 1:11:43.040 --> 1:11:45.960 Well. The good news is the New York Jets don't 1:11:45.960 --> 1:11:48.280 have the number one overall picking the tracks who has 1:11:48.320 --> 1:11:49.960 the number one? 1:11:52.080 --> 1:11:54.760 Yeah, okay, but. 1:11:56.520 --> 1:12:01.800 Correct. But I'll say this if if you remember the 1:12:01.880 --> 1:12:07.880 two thoy nineteen NFL or A college football season, LSU 1:12:08.479 --> 1:12:11.080 gets to the college football playoffs, which obviously at the 1:12:11.080 --> 1:12:15.720 time was two teams. Joe Burrow had won the Heisman Trophy, 1:12:16.160 --> 1:12:19.439 the Bengals were obviously careening toward having the number one 1:12:19.479 --> 1:12:22.560 overall pick, which they wrapped up in their second to 1:12:22.640 --> 1:12:25.240 last game with the season, and so there were a 1:12:25.240 --> 1:12:28.759 lot of Bengals fans who maybe didn't follow college football 1:12:28.800 --> 1:12:32.599 back closely or didn't really watch LSU, who I think 1:12:32.680 --> 1:12:36.400 tuned in excuse me, specifically to the playoff to watch 1:12:36.520 --> 1:12:38.559 Joe Burrow because they had heard, okay, they'd got the 1:12:38.600 --> 1:12:41.800 number one pick. It's going to be this Burrough guy. 1:12:41.880 --> 1:12:45.759 Let's see what he does. And if you remember that day, 1:12:46.040 --> 1:12:50.480 he went out in the semi final and absolutely destroyed 1:12:50.920 --> 1:12:54.679 the Oklahoma Sooners, and then a week or so later 1:12:56.120 --> 1:13:01.000 towards completely towards Clemson in the National Championship game, and 1:13:01.720 --> 1:13:05.719 I just remember how giddy I felt as a Bengals 1:13:05.800 --> 1:13:10.280 fan watching that, and watching Bengals fans on social media go, 1:13:10.880 --> 1:13:14.400 holy crap. I remember watching the semifinal game with my 1:13:14.479 --> 1:13:16.960 wife and she looks at me and she goes, wait 1:13:17.000 --> 1:13:20.280 a minute, that's gonna be our quarterback next year. And 1:13:20.360 --> 1:13:26.240 so I certainly understand there's a pretty decent chance that 1:13:26.280 --> 1:13:29.600 Fernando Mendoza goes to a situation that is untenable for 1:13:29.640 --> 1:13:33.680 any quarterback who's looking to have almost immediate success. But 1:13:33.760 --> 1:13:36.040 I put myself in the shoes of a Raiders' fand 1:13:36.640 --> 1:13:39.280 and I think, how much fun must they be having 1:13:39.400 --> 1:13:44.720 watching Fernando Mendoza knowing they're gonna get him watching him 1:13:44.760 --> 1:13:48.280 do what he's doing. I mean, he's been Burrow esque 1:13:48.320 --> 1:13:51.559 frankly in these in these two playoff games. And so 1:13:51.760 --> 1:13:53.840 I was thinking about that last night just from a 1:13:53.880 --> 1:13:57.720 Bengals perspective, watching Burrow play, and by the way, with 1:13:57.800 --> 1:14:00.879 a lot of folks saying the exact same thing. Hey, uh, 1:14:01.040 --> 1:14:04.160 Cincinnati's gonna draft this dude and they're going to ruin him. 1:14:04.600 --> 1:14:08.439 You know, we can debate to what degree that's happened. Yeah, 1:14:08.520 --> 1:14:10.400 that's gonna be a really fun place if you're a 1:14:10.400 --> 1:14:11.679 fan of the Las Vegas Makers. 1:14:12.280 --> 1:14:15.679 Yeah, I and I. He's a little bit bigger than Burrow, 1:14:15.960 --> 1:14:21.800 isn't he. I mean as far as overall body weight, I. 1:14:21.760 --> 1:14:25.000 Think with Joe Burrow and I don't think he's you know, 1:14:25.320 --> 1:14:29.240 Joe has toned himself significantly. I think with Joe there 1:14:29.320 --> 1:14:31.240 was a there was a if you if you go 1:14:31.320 --> 1:14:33.559 back to look at that LSU footage, there was a 1:14:33.560 --> 1:14:34.960 little baby fat to him. 1:14:35.320 --> 1:14:37.120 Uh, it ain't there now, But. 1:14:37.280 --> 1:14:39.439 Yeah, I think if you look at the two physical 1:14:39.479 --> 1:14:46.160 specimens in college, uh, Fernando would be slightly more impressive. 1:14:46.360 --> 1:14:47.200 I'll put it that way. 1:14:47.520 --> 1:14:50.400 The other quarterback involved in last night's game Dante Moore. 1:14:51.000 --> 1:14:54.960 There had been intimations that he would probably stay in school, 1:14:55.120 --> 1:14:58.360 and I think that's that's a good call. If if 1:14:58.400 --> 1:15:00.920 I'm advising Dante more, what about you. 1:15:00.920 --> 1:15:06.720 Mo Yes, And by the way, they can probably make 1:15:06.760 --> 1:15:09.240 more money playing college football next year than in the NFL. 1:15:09.360 --> 1:15:12.720 But the one thing you have to consider is I 1:15:12.720 --> 1:15:18.240 don't think this is top to bottom a great quarterback class. 1:15:17.880 --> 1:15:21.200 And so you know, it's like Des Riger coming out 1:15:21.200 --> 1:15:23.479 at U. See, he didn't really come out his college 1:15:23.520 --> 1:15:27.360 career and died. He was the I think third quarterback taken, 1:15:28.000 --> 1:15:29.639 and in a different year he. 1:15:29.680 --> 1:15:31.040 Might have been the eighth quarterback taken. 1:15:31.120 --> 1:15:32.760 So I think you have to consider that. But yeah, 1:15:32.800 --> 1:15:37.240 I would I think most personnel evaluators would suggest that 1:15:37.320 --> 1:15:37.920 Dante go. 1:15:37.920 --> 1:15:38.519 Back to school. 1:15:40.280 --> 1:15:43.000 Have you seen my Vanderbilt Cavodors play basketball? 1:15:43.040 --> 1:15:48.520 Though I have watched him play Alabama on Tuesday? 1:15:48.920 --> 1:15:53.120 How about that day? I talked to my friend Scott Drought, 1:15:53.120 --> 1:15:57.920 who of course played at Vanderbilt very well, and he said, 1:15:58.840 --> 1:16:02.800 not a pretty game. But man, Memorial Gym is back. 1:16:03.200 --> 1:16:06.439 I've been to several games at Memorial Gym on the 1:16:06.520 --> 1:16:09.400 Vanderbilt campus, and I remember going back in the eighties 1:16:09.400 --> 1:16:11.799 and nineties when Vandy had some pretty good hoops teams, 1:16:12.240 --> 1:16:15.240 But I never heard the place like I heard it 1:16:15.320 --> 1:16:19.880 on Wednesday night against Alabama, that old place. I mean, 1:16:20.360 --> 1:16:23.599 they better be checking the foundation because it was rocking. 1:16:25.760 --> 1:16:27.720 Been lucky enough to go to a game there. UC 1:16:27.960 --> 1:16:31.240 played there when Andy Kennedy was the interim head coach 1:16:31.320 --> 1:16:33.599 during the two thousand and five two thousand and six season. 1:16:35.439 --> 1:16:38.080 The Bevercats won the game one of the most unique 1:16:38.080 --> 1:16:41.519 places you could ever see a college basketball game. Couldn't 1:16:41.520 --> 1:16:44.599 suggest it more. The Commodore's are ranked seventh in the country. 1:16:45.400 --> 1:16:50.120 They've beaten a good Missouri team, They've beaten you know, 1:16:51.120 --> 1:16:55.519 a good LSU team. Like Yes, I watched that game 1:16:55.560 --> 1:16:58.040 the other night and it was fun to see that 1:16:58.120 --> 1:17:01.840 place as energized as it was. How about Vanderbilt being 1:17:01.960 --> 1:17:05.360 really good in both men's basketball. 1:17:04.880 --> 1:17:08.360 And men's football. I know well, as Clark Lee, the 1:17:08.439 --> 1:17:12.840 Vanderbilt coach, said, with the introduction of NIL and the 1:17:12.920 --> 1:17:18.240 transfer portal at at a luncheon before the football season started, 1:17:18.280 --> 1:17:23.760 he said, before, we're really excited because before only the 1:17:23.880 --> 1:17:27.680 big big players could cheat. Now everybody can cheat. We 1:17:27.760 --> 1:17:30.680 can cheat too, But. 1:17:30.720 --> 1:17:32.680 You know, what if you think about it, right, if 1:17:32.720 --> 1:17:34.760 you think about football. So this is going to be 1:17:34.840 --> 1:17:39.120 the third consecutive year where an SEC team doesn't win 1:17:39.640 --> 1:17:43.439 the national title. Yeah, right, Now, the SEC loves to 1:17:43.520 --> 1:17:47.240 tell you how much superior they are. The commissioner of 1:17:47.320 --> 1:17:49.760 that league will go out of his way to tell you, 1:17:49.760 --> 1:17:52.759 you know that they should have like every spot failed 1:17:53.040 --> 1:17:57.280 in the College Football PLAYFF. But what's been a great equalizer. 1:17:57.439 --> 1:18:00.559 It's been money. And you know, people say, but I 1:18:00.560 --> 1:18:04.080 think there's some validity to it. Right, The SEC has 1:18:04.120 --> 1:18:07.559 always been paying players. Now everybody can pay players, and 1:18:07.600 --> 1:18:09.960 so the field has quite. 1:18:09.640 --> 1:18:11.240 Literally been leveled, yep. 1:18:11.439 --> 1:18:16.640 Where now schools like Indiana can compete in sports that 1:18:16.720 --> 1:18:20.800 you don't associate them with, and schools like Vanderbilt, which 1:18:20.840 --> 1:18:24.519 in both highest profile sports have always been drowned out 1:18:24.960 --> 1:18:29.200 by other higher profile programs, can now compete. It really 1:18:29.280 --> 1:18:34.200 has to a degree level the playing field, and it's 1:18:34.240 --> 1:18:37.960 given us. It's given us some newness in both major 1:18:38.040 --> 1:18:40.320 sports that I think is refreshing. 1:18:40.960 --> 1:18:44.080 All Right, you see n Xavier both playing and trying 1:18:44.120 --> 1:18:47.920 to write their seasons. Who has the better chance to 1:18:49.200 --> 1:18:54.040 improve their lot? As we speed towards March mo the 1:18:54.120 --> 1:18:56.719 Xavier Musketeers are the Bearcats. 1:18:58.000 --> 1:19:01.639 Well, you know, it's it's interesting. I think on one hand, 1:19:01.680 --> 1:19:04.919 you could say Cincinnati because for all of their issues 1:19:05.160 --> 1:19:07.559 and they got a ton, they are a really good 1:19:07.600 --> 1:19:11.719 defensive team. I mean, from a metrics perspective, the reason 1:19:11.760 --> 1:19:13.920 why they've had a chance to win their last two 1:19:13.960 --> 1:19:16.400 games has been their ability to defend, and so as 1:19:16.400 --> 1:19:20.360 we say, you know that travels. I think the problem though, 1:19:20.439 --> 1:19:22.280 is you look at the schedule and it's you're just 1:19:22.280 --> 1:19:25.519 having a hard time finding wins with Xavier. You know, 1:19:25.560 --> 1:19:28.080 they missed an opportunity, to excuse me, the other night, 1:19:28.160 --> 1:19:30.080 to be who I think is the worst team in 1:19:30.120 --> 1:19:32.640 the Big East because they couldn't grab a rebound in 1:19:32.680 --> 1:19:35.559 the second half against Marquette, and so on the other 1:19:35.760 --> 1:19:38.160 side of things, you could say, well, Xavier's schedule is 1:19:38.280 --> 1:19:42.120 probably a little bit more forgiving. Now they still have 1:19:42.240 --> 1:19:44.719 another game against Yukon to play. They've gotta played Saint 1:19:44.760 --> 1:19:47.240 John's twice, which is not going to be easy by 1:19:47.680 --> 1:19:54.320 any stretch. But I'm I'll say Xavier for that reason. 1:19:55.040 --> 1:19:58.479 But for all of the frustration that you see fans feel, 1:19:59.120 --> 1:20:00.960 and as much as the it feels like the walls 1:20:00.960 --> 1:20:04.439 are closing in on West Miller. They do defend well 1:20:04.560 --> 1:20:06.679 enough to stay in games. And if that's the case, 1:20:07.040 --> 1:20:09.360 you hope that offensively they can find a way to 1:20:09.400 --> 1:20:12.720 execute laden games to get some victories. But so far 1:20:12.800 --> 1:20:13.599 that hasn't happened. 1:20:13.760 --> 1:20:15.400 Well, thank you again for being a part of the 1:20:15.400 --> 1:20:19.599 program now for thirteen years.

Also going 1:20:40.479 --> 1:20:44.840 to talk about the Hitting family. Want the city to 1:20:44.880 --> 1:20:50.240 pay them for a homicide that was justified please shooting 1:20:50.720 --> 1:20:53.360 So it makes no sense Ken Cobra at eleven thirty 1:20:53.400 --> 1:20:56.600 to talk about that. Janis highs on at ten to 1:20:56.680 --> 1:20:58.360 talk about the Minnesota stuff. 1:20:58.720 --> 1:21:02.800 It's a miss.
