Speaker 1: First, a look back at significant events and people tied
Speaker 1: to this particular date in history, including but not limited to,
Speaker 1: these this date. In eighteen sixty five, the thirteenth Amendment
Speaker 1: to the United States Constitution abolishing slavery ratified, as Georgia
Speaker 1: became the twenty seventh state to say, yeah, we're with that.
Speaker 1: So forget about June teenth or any other commemoration. December
Speaker 1: sixth is the real Freedom Day when it became part
Speaker 1: of our constitution. It's often missed by today's revisionary scholars
Speaker 1: this date. In nineteen oh seven, at least three hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty one died in a coal mine explosion in Minanga,
Speaker 1: West Virginia. Ten years later, on this date, in nineteen seventeen,
Speaker 1: more than seventeen hundred people killed when an explosive laden
Speaker 1: French cargo ship collided with the Norwegian merchant vessel ss
Speaker 1: EMO in the harbor and Halifax, Nova, Scotia, Canada, also
Speaker 1: devastated great parts of the city. That explosion. Nineteen twenty
Speaker 1: three and December sixth, the presidential address broadcast nationally on
Speaker 1: the radio for the very first time. Calvin Coolidge Silent
Speaker 1: col was silent no more America's first attempt at satellite
Speaker 1: launch failed. The Vanguard TV three rows about four feet
Speaker 1: off Cape Canaveral launch pad before crashing down exploding. The
Speaker 1: year was nineteen fifty seven. We'd get a lot better
Speaker 1: at that. This date in nineteen sixty nine was the
Speaker 1: date of the free concert by the Rolling Stones at
Speaker 1: the Ultimont Speedway in Alameda County, California. This concert marred
Speaker 1: by the deaths of four, including one who was stabbed
Speaker 1: by a member of the Hell's Angels that were hired
Speaker 1: to provide concert security. What could possibly go wrong? December sixth,
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three, Republican House Minority Leader Gerald Fords morning,
Speaker 1: his vice president, selected by President Nixon to replace Spirou Agnew,
Speaker 1: who resigned in the middle of one of those scandals
Speaker 1: that happened, the ones that actually are found out about
Speaker 1: in Washington, DC, not the ones that we know are
Speaker 1: happening that are never found out. Nineteen ninety eight. On
Speaker 1: this date, Venezuela, former Lieutenant Colonel Hugo Chavez staged a
Speaker 1: bloody coup attempt against the government six years before that
Speaker 1: elected president the four runner of Maduro for the Venezuela
Speaker 1: people can't catch a break, can they? And on this date,
Speaker 1: eight years ago, President Donald Trump officially recognized Jerusalem as
Speaker 1: Israel's capital, something that every president since Bill Clinton had
Speaker 1: promised to do but did not. Joe Beth Williams, the actress,
Speaker 1: is seventy seven today. Craigsliz founder Craig Newmark turned seventy three.
Speaker 1: Actor Tom Holtz seventy two. Steven Wright, the dry pan
Speaker 1: one line brilliant comedian is seventy mentioned. Peter Buck of Ram,
Speaker 1: Actress Janine Turner turned sixty three. Jud Appatou is fifty eight.
Speaker 1: Sarah Rafferty fifty three, NBA star Jannis forget me trying
Speaker 1: to pronounce the rest of the name. I'll leave that
Speaker 1: to Liam. He's thirty one. Speaking of Liam Tomlinson, he
Speaker 1: has in he's worn shoes today. I left my phone
Speaker 1: at home, which, as Scottsland would say, a total rookie move.
Speaker 1: Guilty as charge. Thank you, and we'll get the weather
Speaker 1: forecast and get running. No Lannette yet, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: Five forty two at seven hundred WL see a few
Speaker 1: flurries flying today tomorrow a mix of rain and light
Speaker 1: wet snow minimal impacts expected. Hi's today thirty seven, Tomorrow
Speaker 1: thirty six, and there is a better chance of a
Speaker 1: rain and snow mix Sunday night into Monday. It's twenty
Speaker 1: nine now seven hundred WLW sports Liam Tomlinson with a shootout,
Speaker 1: turnout and more.
Speaker 2: Liam Xavier defeated Cincinnati seventy nine seventy four in the
Speaker 2: Crosstowns shootout last night and eleventh rankin Zaga took eighteenth
Speaker 2: ran Kentucky's lunch money ninety four to fifty nine last
Speaker 2: night in Nashville.
Speaker 1: Wow, how is Mark Pope still alive? This morning?
Speaker 2: Loose Rain in Nashville is one of those signed to
Speaker 2: two games away, two games at home, but not at home.
Speaker 2: It's playing at neutral site in Nashville. It's been. It
Speaker 2: was an interesting night last night for Kentucky basketball. It
Speaker 2: has been all year.
Speaker 1: Kind of reminds me of the Billy Gillespie days in Lexington.
Speaker 2: I think we're yearning for the Billy Gilepsie days at
Speaker 2: the moment right now. Some more top drank college basketball today,
Speaker 2: Number four Duke faces number seven Michigan State in East Lansing.
Speaker 1: This feels like a peak.
Speaker 2: Tom Izzo team this year, and Duke has the Boozer
Speaker 2: He Carlos Boozer's son.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bucket. I saw him play the other night, just
Speaker 1: real briefly. He's quite a quite a fine for the
Speaker 1: Blue Devils.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Number one per due host Number ten Iowa stayed
Speaker 2: at nut It's College Football Championship weekend last night a
Speaker 2: couple games in the American Athletic Championship. This was for
Speaker 2: a playoff spot Number twenty two Lane tops number twenty
Speaker 2: four North Texas thirty four to twenty one. In the
Speaker 2: Mountain West Championship, UNLV fell to Boise State thirty eight
Speaker 2: to twenty one. Sunbell Championship Number twenty five James Madison
Speaker 2: tops Troy thirty one fourteen.
Speaker 1: No, no reason that those any of those teams should
Speaker 1: be mentioned in the college football playoff And my Vandy
Speaker 1: commodores are on the outside looking in. Liam there is
Speaker 1: absolutely no excuse for that.
Speaker 2: Well, this might make you feel worse that the Sun
Speaker 2: Belt champion might get in over the ACC champion depending
Speaker 2: on the final ranking. The ACC Championship is between Duke
Speaker 2: and number seventeen Virginia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody, nobody cares about the cause it's.
Speaker 2: Interesting did you see Vanderbilt wanted to play in Hawaii
Speaker 2: against Miami or Utah to try to fight for the
Speaker 2: final playoff spot. Because there's an exception to the rule,
Speaker 2: Hawaii gets to play extra games because of the travel
Speaker 2: from the island to and fro. So they tried to
Speaker 2: get a game together, but it was too hard logistically
Speaker 2: to play anywhere. Any place you can play in Hawaii
Speaker 2: or Alaska. Huh, it just couldn't work out. Big Twelve
Speaker 2: Championship Number eleven BYU looks to avenge their regular season
Speaker 2: loss to number four Texas Tech.
Speaker 1: That's at noon.
Speaker 2: The MAC Championship Miami, Ohio. Chuck Martin leading the RedHawks
Speaker 2: this year. They had QB issue injuries midway through the
Speaker 2: year with Kwan Finn. He eventually left the program, but
Speaker 2: Chuck Martin's team found a way for their third straight
Speaker 2: MAC Championship.
Speaker 1: We have Maction Maction Max Western.
Speaker 2: Michigan SEC Championship, Georgia number three and number nine Alabama
Speaker 2: play a four in the Big Ten Championship Number one
Speaker 2: Ohio State, number two Indiana Class.
Speaker 1: There's your national championship game right there.

Speaker 2: the NFL. The Bengals traveled to Buffalo to day to
Speaker 2: face the Yeah today, face the Bills Tomorrow afternoon. Kick
Speaker 2: is set for one Pregame coverage begins at nine right
Speaker 2: here on the Home of the Best Bengals coverage seven
Speaker 2: hundred w l W expertly done Sir five forty seven, he.
Speaker 1: Was Radio seven hundred w l W. Bearing on your
Speaker 1: listening or why you would even care. Earlier this week,
Speaker 1: I've forgotten my headphones, which are like pretty crucial to
Speaker 1: doing a broadcast, especially if you want to hear anybody
Speaker 1: that's on a phone line and doing nightcaps. This morning,
Speaker 1: once again, I left my phone at home, even though
Speaker 1: last night before going to bed, my lovely wife christ
Speaker 1: To two point zero reminded me as I told her
Speaker 1: my phone was out in the front room on the charger.
Speaker 1: Don't forget your phone. So I had this in mind.
Speaker 1: As I was tracing out from the bedroom into the
Speaker 1: front room, I said, oh, yeah, don't forget my phone.
Speaker 1: I pick it up off the charger, I set it
Speaker 1: down to do something else as I'm preparing to leave,
Speaker 1: and walked out the door without it. So I have
Speaker 1: none of my contacts. If Dave from Dayton, for example,
Speaker 1: was texting me this morning, as he often does on Saturdays,
Speaker 1: which question for Dick, who's hanging on the Dick is
Speaker 1: hanging right now on the line, so I don't get
Speaker 1: that information. If someone else should want to text me,
Speaker 1: or I got an email of something pertinent that I
Speaker 1: should know about this something important, I have no way
Speaker 1: of knowing. My wife isn't even up yet, so I
Speaker 1: can't call her for any information that I'm you know what,
Speaker 1: and the thing is. Any other time I accidentally forget
Speaker 1: my phone, I'm a happy man. I love forgetting my phone.
Speaker 1: I love not having that anchor to the rest of
Speaker 1: the world tied to me in any way, shape or form,
Speaker 1: except when I'm at work. If it weren't for this job,
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't have a phone, not even a jitterbug,
Speaker 1: not even a consumer cellular real big numbers, so I
Speaker 1: can read to punch in whatever person I'm calling. And
Speaker 1: you know as well as I do in the age
Speaker 1: of cell phones that you don't know anybody's number. You
Speaker 1: just have it stored in your phone. So if there
Speaker 1: was somebody I needed to call this morning, or for example,
Speaker 1: just filling out my time card here. I need my phone.
Speaker 1: I don't care about my phone any other time. Saturday
Speaker 1: mornings or when I'm at work, I need my phone.
Speaker 1: But wouldn't it be great to go back to the
Speaker 1: way things were in the eighties in the early nineties,
Speaker 1: when we didn't have that constant lifeline to the rest
Speaker 1: of the garbage that we have to suffer through every
Speaker 1: day now because we're connected. Would be wonderful. So I'm
Speaker 1: experiencing that this morning at the worst possible time. Thank
Speaker 1: you for listening to me. Vent This is what happens
Speaker 1: when Lynette doesn't call food for thought, don't eat too much.
Speaker 1: Five point fifty two at seven hundred WLW, first official
Speaker 1: hour of this Saturday Morning edition for Saturday, December sixth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. I'm Gary Jeff Walker, and uh, you
Speaker 1: should be pretty impressed.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 1: It is time to do something we've never done on
Speaker 1: Saturday morning. Perhaps it's never been done in the history
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati Radio. I'm not sure. It's the double Dave call.
Speaker 1: We have both Dave from Dayton and Dave from Harrison
Speaker 1: on the line right now together. They say they got jokes.
Speaker 4: Good morning, gentlemen, Good morning, Good Jeff, Good morning, Dave.
Speaker 3: How are we doing to that day?
Speaker 4: Hey Dave?
Speaker 3: Good morning? How you doing? Hi?
Speaker 4: Good?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 4: So, Dave, have you brought one joke to the table?
Speaker 3: Dave?
Speaker 1: Well, that's all right. Uh, your one joke may be
Speaker 1: better than all three of Dave's.
Speaker 3: Dave, It's entirely possible.
Speaker 1: All right, I tell you what, let me start with
Speaker 1: a joke, and then, since you've only got one joke,
Speaker 1: Dave from Dayton, Dave from Harrison, can just kind of
Speaker 1: wait in the wings here and we'll see whose is
Speaker 1: the best. You know today, gentlemen, today is comedian Stephen
Speaker 1: Wright's birthday. I mentioned that in the birthday list, and
Speaker 1: I love Stephen Wright. You know deadpand you know it.
Speaker 1: So Stephen Wright said, my mechanic told me I couldn't
Speaker 1: repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder. Okay, Uh,
Speaker 1: Dave from Dayton, what is your joke?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dave from Harrison, what do you what do you
Speaker 5: call a guy that spreads old wife's tales?
Speaker 3: An old live tale spreader? Day kind of collegists?
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm Dave, I'm not I'm not sure I get
Speaker 1: that Dave from Dayton. But okay, Dave from Harrison, You.
Speaker 4: Go, all right, how is Christmas like another day at
Speaker 4: the office?
Speaker 1: How is Christmas like another day at the office.
Speaker 4: Well, you do all the work and some fact on
Speaker 4: a suit gets all the credit.
Speaker 1: It's okay, it's okay, It's not bad. Hey, if you're
Speaker 1: if you're scared of escalators, there are steps you can take.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 4: What kind of shoes do spies wear?
Speaker 1: What kind of shoes do spies wear?
Speaker 4: Sneakers?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, have you got a good one to finish?
Speaker 1: Dave from Harrison.
Speaker 5: Why does a queen carry aceptor?
Speaker 1: Why does a queen carry a sceptor?
Speaker 3: Because everyone works septar?
Speaker 1: Oh jeez.
Speaker 6: Jokes told by Dave from Harrison are not necessarily considered
Speaker 6: funny by the staff, management, or advertisers of seven hundred
Speaker 6: WLW or his parent company, iHeartMedia. If these attempts at
Speaker 6: humor have caused you to roll your eyes, made your
Speaker 6: stomach churn, or you have considered the entire exercise to
Speaker 6: be a colossal waste of time, we deeply apologize. Now
Speaker 6: back to our irregular programming.
Speaker 4: Shiny and Happy this morning.
Speaker 1: Shiny and Happy I always wondered what that meant.
Speaker 4: I don't eat. I don't know hero I mean.
Speaker 1: Was there was this like a p Diddy party where
Speaker 1: there's a lot of baby oil involved.
Speaker 4: But I was going with carnouba car wax on the.
Speaker 1: Carbok car wax on Michael Stife's head.
Speaker 4: Yes, there you go.
Speaker 1: So how are you hearing us this morning? On what
Speaker 1: lovely device?
Speaker 4: You're coming in? Five by five? And in nineteen fifty
Speaker 4: four telefunking Gavat fifty.
Speaker 1: Five Watch your language, you know.
Speaker 4: Thanks to AI, I looked up Gavat and see what
Speaker 4: the German English translation was, and it turns out in
Speaker 4: English it's Gavat. Anyways, Vat fifty five AM FM shortwaves
Speaker 4: six to two radio with two speakers, separate basin trouble
Speaker 4: controls a really impressive I Fi sound, and then as
Speaker 4: a magic itube, which was a short lived version of it.
Speaker 4: It glows in the shape of the big letter U
Speaker 4: and when you tune the radio it looks like a
Speaker 4: split curtain opening and closing from the center.
Speaker 1: You would go, now that is nate.
Speaker 4: Now for unless you go to replace one, and then
Speaker 4: you see the price and go I can live without it.
Speaker 4: But another unique part about this model is that covers
Speaker 4: the entire FM band from eighty eight to one hundred
Speaker 4: eight megaherts. It may sound kind of weird, but most
Speaker 4: export units from Germany back then covered the European FM band,
Speaker 4: which was only eighty eight to one hundred mega herds.
Speaker 4: I read markles suggesting that the additional licensing is required
Speaker 4: to include the full band, but I haven't verified that claim.
Speaker 1: So in Europe the FM dial only went up to.
Speaker 4: One hundred correct eight to one hundred, and even these
Speaker 4: these export units that were were intended to be sold
Speaker 4: in the US rather than in Europe still't we'll usually
Speaker 4: only one to eighty eight to one hundred.
Speaker 1: I did not know this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I found out the hard way. I pick up
Speaker 4: the oh very noted numbers unless you get the larger
Speaker 4: model that had enough space to build the numbers on it. Well,
Speaker 4: it sad news. I had no luck finding a catalog page,
Speaker 4: but I did find a Telefunken branded page with three
Speaker 4: cartoons on it. You know, most of my life I've
Speaker 4: heard that the German sense of humor is unlike our own,
Speaker 4: and I just always chop that up as being lost
Speaker 4: in translation. But now I'm rethinking that.
Speaker 1: The armpits that women there I've heard are unlike our
Speaker 1: own either.
Speaker 4: Oh boy, I thought that was France anyway. Fortunately, there
Speaker 4: are only three cartoons on this translations are simple enough.
Speaker 4: I will avoid butchering the German language and just read
Speaker 4: the translations. At the top of the page there are
Speaker 4: three cartoon disembodied laughing heads surrounding the words the speaker laughs.
Speaker 4: Now this is about to a bad start, because if
Speaker 4: you have to be told in two different ways that
Speaker 4: this is funny, you might be disappointed that. The first
Speaker 4: cartoon is a delivery man at the front door holding
Speaker 4: a Telefunken radio, a brdon groom and the house still
Speaker 4: dressed from their ceremony. Obviously, the house is otherwise completely empty,
Speaker 4: and the caption the first purchase pause for a laughter. Next,
Speaker 4: we have a middle aged man asleep and his requiner
Speaker 4: in front of the TV that for some reason has
Speaker 4: a stuffed giraffe on top of it. That's probably the
Speaker 4: funniest part. His wife is trying to wake him and yells,
Speaker 4: wake up, fernand You're on television, not in the office.
Speaker 4: And finally, the best of at least they handed with
Speaker 4: the best of the three. Finally, we have a man
Speaker 4: carrying a full case of beard to his recliner next
Speaker 4: to a radio, and his wife hands on hips to Clayer's.
Speaker 4: The football broadcast only lasts ninety minutes. I should have
Speaker 4: been the fourth wheel at the six o'clock called guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm longing for sprockets. Would you like
Speaker 1: to touch my monkey?
Speaker 4: Jeez? All right, Steve Martin joke, I meant sprockets, not sockets.
Speaker 1: Old Radio rickatgmail dot com, if you'd like to get
Speaker 1: in with mister Washburn on any of these radios that
Speaker 1: you hear about, or maybe you've got one of your own.

Speaker 9: I think Sunday night, you know, Saturday night and the
Speaker 9: Sunday So it's not gonna be good weather. It's too
Speaker 9: early for this bad weather. Hy Sherry worship beaver at
Speaker 9: you haven't been running your beaver, which I know asleep.
Speaker 9: Oh okay, I'm just getting one worried.
Speaker 1: You know what I find on is Lisa, that you're
Speaker 1: worried about Sherry's beaver. That's another story entirely, Steve.
Speaker 9: I hope that beaver's nights and warm and drop.
Speaker 1: Yes, we all do. Steve fromant In, Ohio is standing
Speaker 1: by with his commentary on affordability coming up now comic
Speaker 1: agenda and use the political buzzword of the day, which
Speaker 1: is of course affordability, to talk about that. Our friend
Speaker 1: Steve Simon comes in on a Saturday morning. Good morning, Steve, Good.
Speaker 10: Morning Gary, Jeff.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 10: I must have gone through nine, ten, eleven, twelve pages
Speaker 10: on the internet on the subject of affordable ability, but
Speaker 10: this was probably the best summary of the situation. Now,
Speaker 10: this is from a Democrat perspective, comes from Bloomberg, and
Speaker 10: I'll read it directly in this year's elections, Democrats across
Speaker 10: the political spectrum built their campaigns around a single word, affordability.
Speaker 10: It paid off victories in New York City's mayor election,
Speaker 10: Virginia's governor election, New Jersey's governor election. In all of these,
Speaker 10: Bloomberg says, exit polling showed the concerns over prices and
Speaker 10: household budgets outranked crime, immigration, and abortion among top issues.
Speaker 10: So affordability, basically defined in terms of voters is, of
Speaker 10: course primary concern healthcare. The Democrats, of course, have made
Speaker 10: that number one housing, which by the way, is affected
Speaker 10: by the Federal Reserve most certainly, and other factors beyond
Speaker 10: Democrats and Republicans in Congress, and of course, third grocery prices. Now,
Speaker 10: let's examine that for just a second, and I want
Speaker 10: to compare affordability in terms of what voters think it
Speaker 10: is as opposed to how Washington, DC handles affordability. Of course,
Speaker 10: that would be the current administration and Congress. Now, the
Speaker 10: voters have a little ledger on the left is how
Speaker 10: much money is coming in. Supposedly, voters are making more
Speaker 10: money because of the tax situation with regard to Trump
Speaker 10: renewing the tax, the tax dropped that it occurred during
Speaker 10: its first administration. Now, voters in terms of costs, of course,
Speaker 10: are complaining bitterly, particularly about those three. They're worried about
Speaker 10: healthcare and what's going to happen to it, particularly in January.
Speaker 10: Housing Obviously, the price of housing is going up. The
Speaker 10: interest rates are going down. This week I saw four
Speaker 10: point sixty seven, which is pretty impressive. Grocery prices ain't
Speaker 10: gone down, although we have seen situations with regard to
Speaker 10: individual products like eggs, which by the way, is also
Speaker 10: affected by non governmental situations Washington. In terms of Donald Trump,
Speaker 10: let's talk about that a second income. Remember the Laugher
Speaker 10: curve during the Reagan administration. Yet you lower the tax rates,
Speaker 10: you actually take in more money. Now, I haven't heard
Speaker 10: our President Trump discussed that argue that say, that's what
Speaker 10: their intention is, that's what they think is going to happen.
Speaker 10: Most of the time he talks about things like tariffs
Speaker 10: and the effect of tariffs bringing more money, lots more
Speaker 10: money into the federal coffers. We've seen comments that if
Speaker 10: tariffs are as a effective as Donald Trump thinks they
Speaker 10: will be, we can think about eliminating the federal income tax. Well, well,
Speaker 10: I have searched some economists you know, around the country,
Speaker 10: both right and left, and almost all of them agree
Speaker 10: it could reduce the taxes more. But there's no way
Speaker 10: you're going to eliminate the federal income tax if you
Speaker 10: want to control the federal debt. And I think that
Speaker 10: is quite interesting. Ronald or excuse me. Donald Trump does
Speaker 10: not really talk about that, you know, thirty eight trillion
Speaker 10: dollar figure. No, no, he does not. And I think
Speaker 10: that's interesting because when we approach November of next year
Speaker 10: and that first midterm election, remember what I said a
Speaker 10: couple of months ago that the ninety years since FDR,
Speaker 10: no Democrat and no Republican has been able to escape
Speaker 10: a really, really bad mid term situation in Congress. They
Speaker 10: have lost members, both Republicans and Democrats. Good times and bad.
Speaker 10: If Donald Trump loses members, we're in trouble now. We
Speaker 10: had a good sign this week in Tennessee, as you know,
Speaker 10: seventh Congressional District, the West Point Graduate defeated the Communists.
Speaker 4: That was good.
Speaker 3: That was good.
Speaker 10: But what I'm concerned about is this situation with regard
Speaker 10: to the federal government predictions over say the next fifteen
Speaker 10: to twenty months. You know, let me summarize the situation
Speaker 10: with regard to the federal government. We're no longer going
Speaker 10: to be going to make pennies. We still are going
Speaker 10: to make dollars.
Speaker 4: We print them.
Speaker 10: Apparently on nausea. We had a government shut down that
Speaker 10: was really based Gary jeff on the question of affordability.
Speaker 10: The federal government suddenly found out again and again and
Speaker 10: again it does that. Well, Doug Gunnet, we spent a
Speaker 10: little too much, and where are we going to cut
Speaker 10: And you know, right in the middle of that debate,
Speaker 10: during the shutdown, we went right into healthcare with the Democrats,
Speaker 10: and they wanted to increase A and ACA benefits. I
Speaker 10: think that's very, very worrisome, and so I would say
Speaker 10: that the affordability question, I would take it off the
Speaker 10: table with regard to voters for about fifteen months, and
Speaker 10: I would question, what in the world are we going
Speaker 10: to do to avoid more shutdowns to actually get back
Speaker 10: to a system where we have an annual budget.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that would be helpful.
Speaker 10: And I think that's that's the big thing. The midterm
Speaker 10: election is going to be very very critical because you know,
Speaker 10: I know everybody in the audience knows if the Republicans
Speaker 10: actually lose in the House, the members that we desperately
Speaker 10: need to actually gain. We are in deep trouble with
Speaker 10: regard to the current situation that has been laid before
Speaker 10: us economically by President Trump. And that's where I put
Speaker 10: the affordability question. Anything you want to add to that.
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you very much for that, Steve, and I
Speaker 1: would say that as long as they keep printing money,
Speaker 1: things aren't going to be affordable. The more we go
Speaker 1: into debt, the more expensive things get, and the more
Speaker 1: we have inflation. If you want to see healthcare become
Speaker 1: really unaffordable, make it free. And that is what has happened.
Speaker 1: It's all self fulfilling prophecy. And by the way, when
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan took over in January of nineteen eighty one
Speaker 1: from the super inflation, super high interest rate period of
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter and the economic manaise as it was called
Speaker 1: at the time, it took two years and Reagan's tax
Speaker 1: cuts to turn things around in this country. It's a
Speaker 1: big ship. You don't turn it around economically in nine months.
Speaker 1: We're on the way, but will it happen fast enough
Speaker 1: to save the Trump agenda and the Republicans in the House.
Speaker 1: That's the question. Ray and Loveland, brother, Ray Scott, how
Speaker 1: are you this morning?
Speaker 11: Good morning, My friend Gary's Jeff and he's exactly right.
Speaker 11: You're both exactly right. And I'll sum it up this way.
Speaker 11: And it's perception is reality, folks. Perception is reality. And
Speaker 11: there is a turbo lag in the effects of Trump
Speaker 11: coming back in. And we think Reagan had a mess.
Speaker 11: Trump's got it times about five probably, and it's world
Speaker 11: global and he's trying to solve it. But perception in
Speaker 11: his reality. And our friends on Democratic side, well, what
Speaker 11: James Carvel said, it's the economy stupid ninety two. You
Speaker 11: had a president had a ninety one percent approval Rady
Speaker 11: in nineteen ninety one and lost the election in ninety
Speaker 11: two on that message.
Speaker 12: And President Trump has got the message. He is on
Speaker 12: it in affordable perceived affordability, Perceived affordability must be achieved.
Speaker 12: So and we and I will not rest, by the
Speaker 12: way until Marshall Blackburn gets becomes a governor in Tennessee
Speaker 12: and gets a plaque up on Galaton Road stating that
Speaker 12: the birthplace here volunteer community, volunteer state community, College at WVCP,
Speaker 12: the birthplace of Gary Jeff Walker's broadcast career.
Speaker 3: God bless you, my.
Speaker 1: Brother, God bless you. Thanks. Let's see Steve Shulty on
Speaker 1: the way in moments, Saturday, December sixth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: How you doing, Gary jaff with you left my phone
Speaker 1: at home? Just called my wife during the break on
Speaker 1: the station's phone since I left my phone at home
Speaker 1: and she can't find my phone, Chris to two point zero.
Speaker 1: If you find my phone, please call Liam and let
Speaker 1: him know. Jeez, the last thing she told me last
Speaker 1: night before he went to bed, don't forget your phone.
Speaker 1: I picked it up off the charger this morning on
Speaker 1: the way out the door and left it somewhere inside
Speaker 1: the house. I have no idea where, you know, Liam,
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe we should call my phone and see if
Speaker 1: it'll ring for her if I left the ringer on,
Speaker 1: which I hardly ever do. I'm sorry, I'm wasting valuable airtime.
Speaker 1: I'm wasting your time with this nonsense. Let's get to
Speaker 1: our environmental engineer, mister Steve Shulty on this and Steve,
Speaker 1: I left my phone at home, so I don't know
Speaker 1: what you text me. You wanted to talk about.
Speaker 13: All right, Well, we'll just start at the.
Speaker 1: Top, please, heck please.
Speaker 13: All right, first one, I have two articles this morning.
Speaker 13: The first one comes from the sci Tech Daily of
Speaker 13: November thirtieth. The headline says that rivaled ancient Egypt then vanished.
Speaker 13: New study points why the Indus Valley civilization fell And
Speaker 13: I got my curiosity because I never heard of the
Speaker 13: Indus Valley civilization. No so so anyway, the article talked
Speaker 13: about a series of severe droughts, each extending for more than.
Speaker 14: Eighty five years.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 14: Was likely a.
Speaker 13: Major contributor to the graves will declined the Indus Valley civilization.
Speaker 13: According to research published in Communications.
Speaker 1: Earth and Environment, where exactly was the Indus.
Speaker 14: Valley Well, I'm going to tell you.
Speaker 13: Indus Valley civilization was among the world's earliest urban cultures,
Speaker 13: flourishing between five thousand and three thousand, five hundred years
Speaker 13: ago along the Indus River system and what is now
Speaker 13: Pakistan and northwest India. At its height between four thousand,
Speaker 13: five hundred and thirty nine hundred years ago, the society
Speaker 13: featured wealth, planned cities, and advanced water management. Despite this sophistication,
Speaker 13: the factors behind the civilization's slow decline have remained uncertain,
Speaker 13: but this research found. Their findings point to a regional
Speaker 13: temperature rise of one degree fahrenheit and an and and
Speaker 13: drop rainfall between ten and twenty percent. And this is
Speaker 13: all climate change, Gary Jeff without the burning of massive
Speaker 13: amounts of thought fuels. Interesting they also identified for extended
Speaker 13: droughts occurring as well as described before, lasting over forty
Speaker 13: eighty five years. And this resulted in the slow decline
Speaker 13: and eventual vanishing of this civilization. And you know this
Speaker 13: and this we read this all the time if you
Speaker 13: read anything about what went on in Central America with
Speaker 13: the Mayas and Aztecs and whatnot, a lot of what
Speaker 13: happened there and why the civilization vanished had to do
Speaker 13: with climate change without the burning of fossil fuels. I
Speaker 13: wonder why what's causing that anyway?
Speaker 14: Next one heartland.
Speaker 13: Dot org one of my favorite sources, the Climate Change
Speaker 13: Weekly number five sixty four.
Speaker 14: Of yesterday, headline.
Speaker 13: Greenland's temperature trends don't pre tract Well, excuse.
Speaker 14: Me, let's do it over again.
Speaker 13: Climate Greenland's temperature trends don't track climate change predictions. I said, well,
Speaker 13: I think I've heard this before. Research published in Weather
Speaker 13: and Climate Dynamics examined the history of Greenland between nineteen
Speaker 13: hundred and twenty fifteen, concluding temperature changes did not follow
Speaker 13: the temperature. The climate script allah computer models for not
Speaker 13: green half gas gas emissions and what they found basically
Speaker 13: that overall not much has changed Greenland. Temperature stations indicated
Speaker 13: there was an abrupt five point two degrees fahrenheit warming
Speaker 13: trend from nineteen twenty two to nineteen thirty two. This
Speaker 13: is when CO two in the atmosphere.
Speaker 14: Was increasing, but not a lot.
Speaker 13: That was also identical to about the five point six
Speaker 13: three fahrenheit warming trend from nineteen ninety three to two
Speaker 13: thousand and seven. So he's going, oh, well, we allow
Speaker 13: to CO two. But here's the interesting part, Gary Jeff.
Speaker 13: Between these two warming trends, there was an overall five
Speaker 13: point four the resturn height cooling from nineteen thirty three
Speaker 13: to nineteen ninety two, during a time where we hit
Speaker 13: very large temperature increases and almost you know, and not
Speaker 13: much warming in Greenland.
Speaker 14: So, like we said before, Aaron.
Speaker 13: Jeff, when it comes to these computer models, what they
Speaker 13: that they're used to tell us how bad it's gonna
Speaker 13: be garbage in garbage.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, thank you, Steven, I appreciate that. Coming up on
Speaker 1: twelve minutes after the hour, Kim is trying to call
Speaker 1: my phone to see if we can find my phone.
Speaker 1: So yesterday, well, will we hear it ring? Liam? Oh?
Speaker 1: I can? Oh, I can hear You can only hear
Speaker 1: ringing on air. Oh you cannot. Oh, well that doesn't
Speaker 1: work for this particular purpose.
Speaker 15: Forward to voice Manka, the person you're trying to reach
Speaker 15: is not a okay.
Speaker 1: So no, no one can find my phone. It did ring, however, correct, Liam?
Speaker 1: Did you make sure you leave a really nice voicemail
Speaker 1: for me whenever I find So yesterday I went to
Speaker 1: the store, went to Kroger to do some shopping in
Speaker 1: the morning before I went to work at the bar,
Speaker 1: I had my phone with me. I pulled out my
Speaker 1: phone in the middle of Kroger to find a recipe
Speaker 1: for something I was thinking about buying, to make sure
Speaker 1: I would know how to properly prepare it. So I
Speaker 1: looked at this recipe, said, oh, I can do that,
Speaker 1: picked up the item, put it in the cart, and
Speaker 1: put my phone in the top part of the grocery carts.
Speaker 1: Went to check out, pushed the cart out to my car,
Speaker 1: got home with when my groceries and found out I
Speaker 1: didn't have my phone. I had left it in the
Speaker 1: grocery cart? Have you ever done that? So frantically I
Speaker 1: run back, race back to Kroger. I still have time
Speaker 1: before work. I went early enough in the morning. No,
Speaker 1: no one's found it, so no one's brought it to
Speaker 1: the customer service desk as of yet. So now I'm
Speaker 1: really frantic. I'm back at home. I'm looking everywhere. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's in the car, maybe it fell down between the seats.
Speaker 1: One last gasp trip to Kroger, and I see one
Speaker 1: of the cart jockeys, a wonderful, hard working young man,
Speaker 1: out in the cold, bringing the carts into the store
Speaker 1: near the area where I had parked, And I said,
Speaker 1: did you happen to find an iPhone with a He said,
Speaker 1: what kind of case?
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 1: It has a blue otter box case. It's kind of
Speaker 1: torn at the end, he said, I just brought it
Speaker 1: to the front door, so I'd left it in the cart.
Speaker 1: So this morning, again with admitnitions from my wife last night,
Speaker 1: did not forget my phone because it wasn't beside the
Speaker 1: bed where it usually is. I picked my phone up
Speaker 1: off the charger and left my phone at home, and
Speaker 1: now my wife can't even find it. So maybe I'll
Speaker 1: go to Kroger. I call this the and that Madman
Speaker 1: is Tom Davis with wild, wacky, weird stories from all
Speaker 1: around the country and all around the world. Tom.
Speaker 15: Please, good morning, Gary, Jeff this week, I bet you
Speaker 15: can't swallow that for thirty years. But first, A husband
Speaker 15: just filed for divorce after discovering that ninety four thousand
Speaker 15: dollars of the couple's money was missing. It seems his
Speaker 15: wife had become very fond of a live streamer and
Speaker 15: made donations to HYMN behind her husband's back. She bonded
Speaker 15: with the guy during the day while she was at
Speaker 15: home taking care of the house. Now she's looking for
Speaker 15: a new place to live. In Florida, a woman was
Speaker 15: arrested after an altercation on the interstate No, not a
Speaker 15: car to car road rage kind of thing, but passenger
Speaker 15: to passenger olive rage. Shep Leah Eliah was charged with
Speaker 15: aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after she threw a
Speaker 15: grocery bag containing a jar of olives at her sister.
Speaker 15: Although it did not hit the sister. The car was
Speaker 15: covered in olive juice. You've heard it before a seal
Speaker 15: walks into a bar, but this time it's actually true.
Speaker 15: A baby seal wandered into a bar in Richmond, New Zealand.
Speaker 15: The little guy hit under a dishwasher and was eventually
Speaker 15: lured back outside using salmon pattis. And finally, a man
Speaker 15: was rushed to the hospital with severe stomach pain. After
Speaker 15: doctors got a good look, they found a zippo. Apparently,
Speaker 15: this guy on a bet with his friends swallowed a
Speaker 15: lighter thirty years ago. It had taken this long for
Speaker 15: it to cause a problem. And as if that wasn't enough,
Speaker 15: you won't believe how they removed it. They knocked the
Speaker 15: guy out, then went down his throat and used a
Speaker 15: condom to scoop it up and safely remove it from
Speaker 15: his body.
Speaker 1: What a world.
Speaker 15: Next week, it started as a friendly neighborhood Christmas light competition.
Speaker 15: It ended when Grandma fired her gun. Have a great
Speaker 15: weekend into.
Speaker 1: Yet another hour of the Saturday Morning edition. Or this Saturday,
Speaker 1: December sixth, twenty twenty five, I'm Gary Jeff Walker. Shout
Speaker 1: outs to Bruce Rice and his lovely wife. Keepsake Kim
Speaker 1: and christ to two point zero and Frankie, and a
Speaker 1: special shout out this morning to one Julie Ericsson of Dayton, Ohio.
Speaker 1: Back when her husband was with us, Julie and her
Speaker 1: husband used to send gifts. We may have had a
Speaker 1: gift for Hobbs somewhere two years I know Brooksy got
Speaker 1: gifts and this week at the bar, addressed to Frankie,
Speaker 1: our latest wonder cat, Julie Ericson contributed a wonderful, thoughtful
Speaker 1: gift of a toy and Brooksy absolutely loved it. And
Speaker 1: I just wanted to thank Julie personally on the air,
Speaker 1: not only for this but through all the love she
Speaker 1: has shown our pets through the years. Noted and much appreciated.
Speaker 1: Thank you with love back to you. About seven minutes
Speaker 1: after the hour, I found my phone. By the way,
Speaker 1: he's so stupid.
Speaker 6: Yes, as a Knight of scientist who was surprising, the
Speaker 6: bell blinded me.
Speaker 1: With See what happened was I took the case off
Speaker 1: of it to charge it last night, and I didn't
Speaker 1: put the case back in, so it was in my car,
Speaker 1: but I couldn't find it because the case pa wasn't
Speaker 1: on and it was hiding from me. After all of that, rigamarole,
Speaker 1: Uh time for a science minute with science Mike. As
Speaker 1: I go on and on about absolutely nothing. How are
Speaker 1: you doing with Michael?
Speaker 3: I lost my phone in the car last night too.
Speaker 1: Did you really? Yes, I tell you, And I don't
Speaker 1: know if they fully appreciated it. As I walked by
Speaker 1: the newsroom, I said, this is like two Biden moments
Speaker 1: two days in a row with my phone and I'm
Speaker 1: only sixty five. Well not even so, this is way
Speaker 1: too early for this to happen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, first time in four years the gas has dropped
Speaker 5: under three dollars a gallon nationally.
Speaker 3: I didn't hear that on the news.
Speaker 1: I watched. I watched that this morning as I passed
Speaker 1: by the speedway there in Newport on my way in
Speaker 1: to seventy eight a gallon this morning, And yeah, I
Speaker 1: want I wonder why that's everybody's talking about affordability and
Speaker 1: they're not talking about the dropping gas prices. I wonder
Speaker 1: why one why?
Speaker 5: I hope Radio Rick and Day from Harrison are listening
Speaker 5: right now. Brady Rick, the European radio, the German radios
Speaker 5: that didn't go over a hundred megahertz. Yeah, they did
Speaker 5: try putting it to up to one hundred and eight
Speaker 5: megahurst Jerry, Gary Jeff in the nineteen thirties, but it
Speaker 5: created such a furor.
Speaker 1: Did you say it created such a furr?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Liam, where's the Dave disclaimer that we use at six o'clock?
Speaker 5: Hey, that's what's that's a higher level Joe.
Speaker 6: Old by Day from Harrison. Are not necessarily considered funny
Speaker 6: by the staff, management or advertisers of seven hundred wlw
Speaker 6: ors parent company iHeartMedia. If these attempts at humor have
Speaker 6: caused you to roll your eyes, made your stomach churn,
Speaker 6: or you have considered the entire exercise to be a
Speaker 6: colossal waste of time, we deeply apologize. Now back to
Speaker 6: our irregular programming anyway. Anyway, Michael, you were saying.
Speaker 8: Last last thing, we get to the topic, Ry Jeff.
Speaker 5: Electric prices in areas with data centers going in over
Speaker 5: the last five years have increase over two hundred.
Speaker 1: And fifty Oh yeah, no, that's that's happening.
Speaker 3: To put it on their bill and not our bill.
Speaker 1: Well, and many of these data centers are coming with
Speaker 1: their own power plant plant that they are paying for,
Speaker 1: and that's that should be the case. The AI centers
Speaker 1: of the data centers should be self sustaining and off
Speaker 1: off of the everyday people's electrical grid. There's no question.
Speaker 5: So let's get to the science man and we digress
Speaker 5: a little bit.
Speaker 3: Sorry about that.
Speaker 5: They found that on Mars, Gary Jeff, that actually time
Speaker 5: is running faster on Mars, which is kind of a
Speaker 5: big deal if since we're going to eventually go there,
Speaker 5: and I don't want clocks to sink up when you're
Speaker 5: trying to figure out where somebody that on the GPS
Speaker 5: on Mars, Mars is actually running four hundred and seventy
Speaker 5: seven microseconds faster per day than here on Earth. And
Speaker 5: the reason for that is because under Einstein's general relativity theory,
Speaker 5: the higher the gravitational field that you're in or the
Speaker 5: warping of space, the slower time is run. So Mars
Speaker 5: since it's further from the Sun than the Earth and
Speaker 5: it has more gravitational bodies pulled on like Jupiter, Saturn
Speaker 5: and actually Earth and our noon at their gravity well
Speaker 5: is much less than our gravity well, so time because
Speaker 5: of that theory from doctor Einstein, at their time on
Speaker 5: Mars is running a bit a bit faster, so okay,
Speaker 5: not a real big thing, but you know when you're
Speaker 5: when you're trying to figure out like here on Earth,
Speaker 5: like they have to recalibrate the GPS units to uh
Speaker 5: for the tough of the time dilation for the same
Speaker 5: effects to the GPS signals actually locate or working in
Speaker 5: sync with our time. So you're missing phone time on
Speaker 5: on on the on the surface.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, exactly why that makes sense. Yeah, but but
Speaker 1: there's really nobody on Mars right now as far as
Speaker 1: we know, so they've they've got to they've got a
Speaker 1: while to work on it.
Speaker 3: There's no loss bones on Mars.
Speaker 1: No, no, goodbye, thank you eight twelve at seven hundred
Speaker 1: w l W for a rain snow mix before we're done,
Speaker 1: Brother Green, good morning, God, bless you. How are you?
Speaker 1: Good morning?
Speaker 3: Gary?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going on.
Speaker 3: My spear is just on fire this morning, me and God.
Speaker 4: I've been having a Halley.
Speaker 16: Loujash back in for a couple of hours now.
Speaker 3: I love starting to day with him. Gary.
Speaker 1: And you say that God likes your coffee, I.
Speaker 16: Think he does because he shows up every time the
Speaker 16: coffee makers go off.
Speaker 14: I think he joins coffee too.
Speaker 1: What do you got for us this morning?
Speaker 16: We have found sixty eight Birth nineteen It says, praise
Speaker 16: be to the Lord, to the God, our savior, who
Speaker 16: daily bear our burden.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 16: I'm too grateful for that, Gary, daily bears our burdens.
Speaker 1: I am grateful, and I'm grateful that you call me
Speaker 1: every Saturday morning and we have this little bit of
Speaker 1: time to disseminate the truth over these fifty thousand watts.
Speaker 1: And you know what, in the spirit of praise, as
Speaker 1: Jesus was triumphantly coming into Jerusalem, he told the pharisees
Speaker 1: Luke nineteen forty, I tell you, if these were silent,
Speaker 1: the very stones would cry out, meaning that if people
Speaker 1: stop praising him, even inanimate creation, the rocks would have
Speaker 1: to proclaim his glory, you know. And when it's coming
Speaker 1: out of the radio, it's kind of like the stones
Speaker 1: crying out his name. You know what I mean.
Speaker 14: Bless your holy name, Bless his holy name.
Speaker 16: We have such a blessed people, Gary, I wish you
Speaker 16: could truly understand.
Speaker 3: That we are so blessed.
Speaker 1: I'm getting a better understanding every day. Rick, thank you
Speaker 1: so much. It's age sixteen after the Word of God.
Speaker 1: A word of the day from that Teresa. Good morning
Speaker 1: that Teresa.
Speaker 17: Greetings, inside utations, Gary Jeff, brother Green, thank you as
Speaker 17: always for bringing me to the to the Word of
Speaker 17: God and bestowing that upon me. You know what, we
Speaker 17: truly need that every day we need to start out.
Speaker 8: We're just looking and say up and saying, you know,
Speaker 8: thank you God. That's what I do.
Speaker 17: Every morning, and I say thank you. I'm grateful that
Speaker 17: I'm awake. So howard you Gary Jeff, Uh.
Speaker 1: I'm doing fine since I found my phone.
Speaker 17: Weird, you're in my mind, that's exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 8: So now that you found your phone, sweetheart, Yeah.
Speaker 17: I guess all good with the world. A glorious morning
Speaker 17: to you, christ to tube point hos cleek cleek RANKI cat.
Speaker 17: Oh wonder have you ever been dared to do something?
Speaker 4: Gary Jeff?
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, okay, somebody.
Speaker 17: Says, you know you, you can't do this, you can't
Speaker 17: do that. You and they say I dare you and
Speaker 17: say yeah, whatever, and they say I double dare you.
Speaker 17: Now I understand I'm sixty three and that's juvenile, but
Speaker 17: I have been double dared and sir, oh no, this
Speaker 17: next word, the word of the day, I can only
Speaker 17: say it with the stut is thro Oh are you ready?
Speaker 1: Yes, goose?
Speaker 17: Then this star walker today word is klisch mcclover. It
Speaker 17: needs gossip, iron talk or chatter.
Speaker 8: In a sentence, he dismissed.
Speaker 17: The rumor as near klitsch mcclover.
Speaker 4: The l I S H M A C L A
Speaker 4: V E R.
Speaker 8: By those bad love you all times?
Speaker 1: Good day to this? What is he on? Oh man?
Speaker 1: I think I saw her in that Mel Gibson movie.
Speaker 1: Join the mental health Coalition in good morning kids, Time
Speaker 1: for gifts from Wally. Look who's talking now. A young
Speaker 1: ventriloquist is touring the country. One night, he's doing a
Speaker 1: show in a small town in Arkansas. With his dummy
Speaker 1: on his knee. He starts going through his usual litany
Speaker 1: of dumb blonde jokes. Suddenly, a blonde will in the
Speaker 1: fourth row stands on her chair and start shouting, I've
Speaker 1: heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you
Speaker 1: think you can stereotype women that way? What does the
Speaker 1: color of a person's hair have to do with her
Speaker 1: worth as a human being. It's guys like you who
Speaker 1: keep women like me from being respected at work and
Speaker 1: in the community, and from reaching our full potential is
Speaker 1: a person because you and your kind continue to perpetuate
Speaker 1: discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general and
Speaker 1: all in the name of stupid humor. The embarrassed ventriloquists
Speaker 1: began to apologize, but the woman yells back, you stay
Speaker 1: out of this, mister. I'm talking to the little jerk
Speaker 1: on your knee. Shoot out out of the way. We
Speaker 1: can all go back to what we were doing before
Speaker 1: eight forty on a Saturday morning when we usually talk
Speaker 1: to Moegar and I'm assuming that we are right now
Speaker 1: because I see his name lit up on my call screen.
Speaker 8: Hey Mo, before we dive into my unique brand of
Speaker 8: sports commentary and analysis, I need to tell you what
Speaker 8: I'm doing this morning.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, do you feel it's really necessary to tell
Speaker 1: me what you're doing?
Speaker 8: Yes, because I'm at Walmart on Ferguson Road, and I'm
Speaker 8: with my friend Deja Gross from Channel nine and we
Speaker 8: are collecting toys for the good folks at Toy Team
Speaker 8: nine and Santa Maria Community Services. And so if you
Speaker 8: are here on the west side of Cincinnati, come to
Speaker 8: Walmart and number one help me pretend that last night's
Speaker 8: basketball game didn't happen. A number two donate a toy
Speaker 8: to make kids holiday season strider.
Speaker 1: What is that location again? We want to get some
Speaker 1: people there right now, Mo.
Speaker 8: Ferguson Road here on the west side of Cincinnati. And
Speaker 8: if you're not on the west side, fourteen different Walmart
Speaker 8: locations Rock Creators, sin Platting collecting toys. I will be
Speaker 8: here until ten o'clock. So if you're on the west side,
Speaker 8: please come by and if you if you donate a toy,
Speaker 8: I will personally hand you a candy cane.
Speaker 1: Wow. So, I mean, this is an incredible ingenious setup.
Speaker 1: Who I don't know who thought about this, but they
Speaker 1: ought to be nominated for some kind of prize. You're
Speaker 1: at a Walmart where toys are readily available and on sale. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean for good prices. You can simply go there,
Speaker 1: buy a toy and then donate it and then get
Speaker 1: a candy cane.
Speaker 3: Yeah. You know we have.
Speaker 8: We have done this for years, and we've had folks
Speaker 8: in the past who like show up and they're doing
Speaker 8: like their normal shopping. They see us and then they'll
Speaker 8: load up like an entire shopping cart full of toys.
Speaker 8: Now that is obviously extremely generous, but uh yeah, the
Speaker 8: good news here they have plenty of toys. The prices
Speaker 8: are amazing. And so if you're on the west side
Speaker 8: and uh, and you know what I need or I
Speaker 8: need a bag of apples or something, while you're getting
Speaker 8: those needs, while you're getting those goods, buy a toy
Speaker 8: I donated to me, I get a free candy came.
Speaker 1: I misunderstood. I thought you personally needed milk or apples.
Speaker 8: I could use my coffee's empty. So I you know,
Speaker 8: if anybody want to stop, can also pick up a
Speaker 8: cup of coffee.
Speaker 1: Come come buy the the Walmart on Ferguson Avenue over
Speaker 1: on the west side and get moa cup of coffee
Speaker 1: and donate a toy, darn.
Speaker 8: It, and you get a candy cane.
Speaker 1: You know what. And I'm one of those kind of
Speaker 1: people that if I believe in a charity, and if
Speaker 1: I were there, I would be definitely buying a toy
Speaker 1: at a good price and giving donat I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know if I've got enough money for a whole
Speaker 1: cart of toys, and I would probably get you a coffee.
Speaker 1: But you know what, else I would, I would say,
Speaker 1: you know what, keep my candy cane and give it
Speaker 1: to someone else, give it to someone more deserving. I
Speaker 1: don't even need the I don't even need the enticement
Speaker 1: of a case Andy Kane to give out of the
Speaker 1: bounty of my abundance. All right, I'm telling you, well,
Speaker 1: you know you can. You can temp me if you
Speaker 1: want to try, mister all right, So first thing before
Speaker 1: we get into breaking down what you don't want to
Speaker 1: talk about. From last night at the Centa Center, I
Speaker 1: fully expect, after hearing the UK score this morning, for
Speaker 1: Alan Cutler to be chasing Mark Pope through the athletic
Speaker 1: Director's office and at UK I think, I think that's
Speaker 1: going to happen.
Speaker 8: Well, Alan Culor has lost a step the.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and he's not chasing your.
Speaker 8: Drunk no no, gone sideways pretty quickly from Mark Pope.
Speaker 8: You know they were, they were good last year and
Speaker 8: maybe the Sweet sixteen. Offensively, they were, you know, frankly
Speaker 8: what they hadn't been in recent years under John Callaperry.
Speaker 8: This year, I watched them against Purdue in a scrimmage
Speaker 8: in an exhibition game, and I thought, man, this team
Speaker 8: is a chance to be as good as last year,
Speaker 8: if not even better at.
Speaker 10: It they were.
Speaker 8: You don't watch UK basketball and see the Wildcats look
Speaker 8: as non competitive as they were last night. Now Gonzaga
Speaker 8: had a lot to do with that, but they were
Speaker 8: scoreless for eleven minutes. The other night against North Carolina.
Speaker 8: They were largely non competitive for large stretches of the
Speaker 8: excuse me, the Michigan State game. They fell in the
Speaker 8: two major holes against Louisville. And look, they're playing high
Speaker 8: end competition right They have Indiana coming up next weekend.
Speaker 8: The Hoosiers are good this year, and so they're playing
Speaker 8: really good teams Carolina and Michigan State. Louisville's got a
Speaker 8: chance to get to the final four. Gonzaga is really good,
Speaker 8: but what they put on the floor last night is
Speaker 8: nowhere close to what I think anybody thought this was
Speaker 8: going to look like. Under Mark Pope and the Natives
Speaker 8: are getting restless and understand, well, when.
Speaker 1: You're UK, you're supposed to play good teams. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's part of that's what that's what comes with
Speaker 1: the gig. At Kentuck, you.
Speaker 8: Played good teams, and when you play good teams, you're
Speaker 8: going to take some losses, you're not supposed to lose
Speaker 8: all of them, and you're not supposed to be non competitive,
Speaker 8: and right now, both those things are true.
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to lose by thirty five points in
Speaker 1: what's even though it's a neutral court, it's basically a
Speaker 1: home court in Nashville. I mean, there're lots lots of
Speaker 1: UK fans make that trip. UK fans travel as you know,
Speaker 1: all right, back back to the h back to the
Speaker 1: black day for UC fans on Victory Parkway last night
Speaker 1: at the Centaz Center. What did you see and what
Speaker 1: I saw? What little I saw of the game, And
Speaker 1: you saw it all mo, you you were there for
Speaker 1: every heart stopping moment. But what I saw mostly was
Speaker 1: a UC team that couldn't shoot straight.
Speaker 8: I saw a UC team that made no defensive adjustments
Speaker 8: to a guy having the game of his life and
Speaker 8: the story of the game. You know, I think there's
Speaker 8: three of them. The headliner is Trey Carroll, who was
Speaker 8: awesome last night. You know, that game has a tendency
Speaker 8: to be about like a guy, you know, just having
Speaker 8: a game that just goes down in Skyline Chili Crosstown
Speaker 8: shootout lore is you know, the Trey Carroll game, the
Speaker 8: tray Von blue A game, the yeah, the Lenny Brown game,
Speaker 8: and last night was the Trey Carroll game. He was terrific,
Speaker 8: you know, I mean, heck, he scored thirty points and
Speaker 8: he was one for six from the free throw line,
Speaker 8: and so he had a chance to have an even
Speaker 8: bigger night, but he was awesome. And so that's obviously
Speaker 8: a big story. I think what Richard Patino has done
Speaker 8: with his team is a significant story because Gary Jeff,
Speaker 8: three and a half weeks ago, I watched them fall
Speaker 8: behind by thirty four points at home against Santa Clara,
Speaker 8: and I wasn't sure they'd win ten games this year.
Speaker 8: And look their their talent level is limited. I think
Speaker 8: every even most diehard Zager fan would admit that. But
Speaker 8: they've gotten better. They've improved dramatically over the last three
Speaker 8: and a half weeks. They run really good stuff offensively.
Speaker 8: Last night they had just four turnovers, two of them
Speaker 8: were very late, so they're good at taking care of
Speaker 8: the ball, and they're just you're seeing improvement, and I
Speaker 8: think you're seeing enough improvement that at the Big East,
Speaker 8: which is not great this year, maybe this season can
Speaker 8: be something that Zager fans didn't think it could be.
Speaker 8: And then it's the Bearcats. There's a lot there, man.
Speaker 8: I think when you look at the game last night,
Speaker 8: Trey Carroll had the game of his life. Cincinnati almost
Speaker 8: never double teamed them. They never made any adjustment to him.
Speaker 8: Wes Miller said after the game, Well, we really haven't
Speaker 8: worked on doubling the post. I'm not sure how's that
Speaker 8: that could be the case. They never sent another defender
Speaker 8: to him, They never did anything to take the ball
Speaker 8: out of his hand, they never did anything to keep
Speaker 8: him from catching it. They never did anything but beyond
Speaker 8: just put him in single coverage, and whoever was guarding him,
Speaker 8: Trey just absolutely abused. And so I think wes Miller
Speaker 8: is in the crosshairs for a lot of different reasons.
Speaker 8: On a micro level, how could you make no adjustments
Speaker 8: to a guy who single handily was torching you. How
Speaker 8: have you not practiced doubling the post. You're gonna play
Speaker 8: in the Big twelve against post players who are NBA
Speaker 8: guys far better, nothing against Trey Carroll, but far better
Speaker 8: than Trey Carroll. You haven't worked on doubling the post.
Speaker 8: That doesn't make any sense. And then there's just the
Speaker 8: NCAA tournament. Matt. Look, we've all said it. Derkats probably
Speaker 8: have to get to the NCAA Tournament for Wes Miller
Speaker 8: to stay employed as the head basketball coach at the
Speaker 8: University of Cincinnati, or at least be in a conversation, right.
Speaker 8: I mean a lot of folks have said, well, maybe
Speaker 8: it's NCAA tournament or bust. But let's see what it
Speaker 8: looks like. Right if they're team number sixty nine, If
Speaker 8: if we wake up on selections Sunday and think, well,
Speaker 8: they've got a shot, but man, they just don't get in. Okay,
Speaker 8: but they have three losses already. Next week they have
Speaker 8: to play a good Georgia team in Atlanta. The week
Speaker 8: after that, they have to play a good Clemson team
Speaker 8: in South Carolina. It is conceivable that they have five
Speaker 8: losses before going into the Big Twelve. And then think
Speaker 8: about some of the teams they're going to play in
Speaker 8: the Big Twelve. They had one non league loss going
Speaker 8: into the Big Twelve last year and still didn't come
Speaker 8: close to making the NCAA Tournament. And so you just
Speaker 8: kind of wonder, like in a year that has been
Speaker 8: defined by boy the Bearcat's got to get in this year,
Speaker 8: or they've at least got to have a chance to
Speaker 8: get in this year. It feels like that may be
Speaker 8: extinguished before we even get to the new year. That's
Speaker 8: not where you want to be if you're Wes Miller,
Speaker 8: and I think you're being fair. If you look at
Speaker 8: this and you look at how they've played, not just
Speaker 8: last night, but against Eastern Michigan, against Louisville, in large
Speaker 8: stretches of some of the game's day one, you're trying
Speaker 8: to figure out, how, in the best conference in America
Speaker 8: are you gonna win enough games to get to the
Speaker 8: NCAA Tournament. I don't I don't know how. I don't
Speaker 8: know how you do that. I don't know how you
Speaker 8: watch how this team is played. I don't know how
Speaker 8: you see what they do and don't do and arrive
Speaker 8: at the conclusion that they're just sort of taking some
Speaker 8: early lumps here in the non league portion of the schedule,
Speaker 8: but they'll hit the ground running in Big Twelve play
Speaker 8: play in March and everything will be good from there.
Speaker 8: I don't know how you do that. I know we
Speaker 8: have a gentleman who's dropping off like seven different toys
Speaker 8: and I think we're going to give him seven different
Speaker 8: CANDI games.
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's wonderful. It's the power of MO, the
Speaker 1: power of moh Ohio State. Indiana Tonight the Big Ten
Speaker 1: championship in college football. To me, it's not only one
Speaker 1: versus two. I think this is a national championship game.
Speaker 1: Well why do we play the rest of the playoffs?
Speaker 5: Mo?
Speaker 8: You know, on one hand, it's going to be I
Speaker 8: think it's going to be a heck of a game.
Speaker 8: You have two Heisman Trophy caliber quarterbacks, although your guy advantaged,
Speaker 8: Diego Pavia is going to have something to.
Speaker 14: Say about that.
Speaker 1: Absolutely sure.
Speaker 8: You have the two teams that head and shoulders above it,
Speaker 8: beyond anybody else that'd been the best two teams in
Speaker 8: the Big Ten. At the same time, you know, there's
Speaker 8: there's sort of a college basketball conference tournament championship game
Speaker 8: field to this, and because both teams are going to
Speaker 8: be in the playoff obviously seeding is going to be
Speaker 8: sort of on the line here. But it's still significant.
Speaker 8: It's still significant for Indiana University. You know, IU hasn't
Speaker 8: won a Big Ten title, I think since nineteen forty five.
Speaker 8: They've been one of the most cool one of the
Speaker 8: coolest stories in college football over the last couple of years.
Speaker 8: But you're right, we could see these two teams play
Speaker 8: each other again. We could see either one of these
Speaker 8: teams play for a national championship. I think it's going
Speaker 8: to be interesting. You know, Ohio State wins the game
Speaker 8: last week right against Michigan, the big rivalry game. So
Speaker 8: much went into that. There's obviously bigger fish to fry
Speaker 8: in the playoff. I do wonder, and I don't think
Speaker 8: this will be the case, but I do wonder if
Speaker 8: emotionally there's maybe a little bit of a letdown given
Speaker 8: the fact that this game sort of sandwiched in between
Speaker 8: two games or two you know, a tournament and the
Speaker 8: Michigan game, which are to a degree bigger than the
Speaker 8: Big Ten title game tonight.
Speaker 1: Thirty seconds, MO tell me Bengals Bills. Does Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: best Josh Allen again?
Speaker 8: I think it's about Joe Burrow's besting James Cook, because
Speaker 8: I think if you're the Bills, you go, you know what,
Speaker 8: We're not going to do what the Ravens did last week.
Speaker 8: Baltimore didn't give the ball to Derek Henry had ten
Speaker 8: carries in the game, five in the first half. Buffalo
Speaker 8: is not going to do that. If the Bengals can
Speaker 8: stop the run, the answer is yes. If the Bengals can't,
Speaker 8: Joe Burrow is not going to be on the field
Speaker 8: enough to best anybody.
Speaker 1: I got you. Moegger is at the Walmart on Ferguson
Speaker 1: Road on the west side. Go buy a toy this morning,
Speaker 1: donate it, find find Mo and who are you with?

Speaker 1: but a goodie. But then she's blonde. So what's on

Speaker 18: with the Somalian craft and corruption in Minnesota. I'll tell
Speaker 18: you what, I have never seen anything like that. The
Speaker 18: numbers are staggering, one billion, and one of the whistleblowers
Speaker 18: said he believes it could get up to eight eight billions.
Speaker 1: Now in the hell, don't you know about that? If
Speaker 1: you're stolen Minnesota exactly and gone to Al Shabad which
Speaker 1: is a terror grey in Somalia. To put the cherry
Speaker 1: on top. Yeah, I mean, did you see the Babylon
Speaker 1: Bee this week? The headline was no remake of Black
Speaker 1: Hawked down to be filmed in Minnesota. In Minneapolis, all right,
Speaker 1: So that's Mike Allen Saturday Midday coming up next after
