Speaker 1: Picked out the ways I thought would work best for me.
Speaker 1: I started by setting a quick date. Then I threw
Speaker 1: out my ash trays, lighters, and matches. I did other
Speaker 1: things too, like exercising more, and it worked, but I'd
Speaker 1: still get cravings, especially on long car rides. To help
Speaker 1: me with that, I put a picture of my mother
Speaker 1: in my car. She died of lung cancer from smoking
Speaker 1: cigarettes when I was only sixteen. Now I have a
Speaker 1: sixteen year old daughter. That picture of my mother reminds
Speaker 1: me that I don't want to miss all the things
Speaker 1: my daughter is going to do in her life, including
Speaker 1: turning seventeen.
Speaker 2: You can quit for free help call one eight hundred
Speaker 2: Quit now, a message from the US Department of Health
Speaker 2: and Human Services and CDC.

Speaker 4: Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the.
Speaker 3: Time search Casey casem and make these your next precession.
Speaker 1: Money.
Speaker 5: Money money now the info you need to achieve your
Speaker 5: money dreams. This is the Bloomberg money minutes on seven
Speaker 5: hundred WLW.
Speaker 6: This is a Bloomberg money minute. When someone buys a
Speaker 6: million dollars of shares in a company, the market notices
Speaker 6: when it's that company's own CEO. The market gets excited,
Speaker 6: based in part on the idea that if the boss
Speaker 6: is that confident, investors should be two shares of Nike
Speaker 6: arising more than four percent today after CEO Elliott Hill
Speaker 6: disclosed that he has purchased more than sixteen thousand company
Speaker 6: shares worth roughly a million dollars. The Santa Claus rally,
Speaker 6: the period of Wall Street gains that usually close out
Speaker 6: an old year and usher in a new one. Is
Speaker 6: it really happening this time around? The main indexes are
Speaker 6: on pace to finish twenty twenty five with four straight losses.
Speaker 6: Right now, the down Nazak and S and P five
Speaker 6: hundred each were losing about a third of a percent,
Speaker 6: Although for the year a different story a twenty twenty
Speaker 6: five that witnessed a dramatic downworth swing this spring than
Speaker 6: a recovery this summer and fall is set to close
Speaker 6: with strong gains for stocks, with the SMP set to
Speaker 6: lock in a seventeen percent annual advance. Andrew rote Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 7: Hey, good morning, It's eight ten on seven hundred WLW
Speaker 7: Steve Hawkins and for Tom Burnhaman every week at this
Speaker 7: time on Thursdays, we get talked to Gary Sullivan And
Speaker 7: New Year's Day.
Speaker 4: Is no different? Is it? Happy New Year? Did you
Speaker 4: make it up till midnight or four am?
Speaker 2: Or I made it to Gary's midnight there, which is
Speaker 2: about ten thirty.
Speaker 4: There you go. I like that.
Speaker 7: Well, we get Gary Sullivan at home on the weekends
Speaker 7: nine o'clock on Saturday Sunday fifty five.
Speaker 4: Care.
Speaker 7: See, it's it's time to clean up from our New
Speaker 7: Year's Eve party and make room for all those Christmas.
Speaker 2: Do I have the heaviest job in the world. No,
Speaker 2: you probably do New Year's Day doing a four hour show,
Speaker 2: but trying to inspire people to let's clean up on
Speaker 2: New Year's Day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, ain't gonna happen. But I got some good ideas
Speaker 4: with those. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess the number one thing, Steve is you
Speaker 2: know we got all the gifts we got all the stuff,
Speaker 2: and we got shortage of space in our homes. That's
Speaker 2: a big trend right now. True, not having shortage, but
Speaker 2: trying to find out where to put all this stuff.
Speaker 2: And of course the first thing we got to do
Speaker 2: is start looking up and around and where can I
Speaker 2: store stuff? Now, some people like to throw things away,
Speaker 2: some people like to donate things. Some people like to
Speaker 2: ignore things. I don't know where you fall into that category,
Speaker 2: but the bottom line is, eventually you kind of start
Speaker 2: running room if you live in a house long enough.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, we can we can start in
Speaker 2: the garage. That's probably a really good place. I don't
Speaker 2: know about your garage. I can still drive my cars
Speaker 2: in mine.
Speaker 4: I can too.
Speaker 7: I did the storage above the garage door, so when
Speaker 7: it comes up the garage is so good.
Speaker 4: I've got storage up there. You're so good.
Speaker 2: One of the first things I put is look up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I say, look up there.
Speaker 2: But yeah, because you know, like bikes, they take up
Speaker 2: an awful lot of room.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: And putting in those little jay hooks not into the drywall,
Speaker 2: but into the studs behind the drywall, and hang those
Speaker 2: bikes upside down. You're like me, and you got a
Speaker 2: lot of bikes in there, and they're not kids bikes,
Speaker 2: they're your bikes. You're probably not going to use them
Speaker 2: all that often. You're gonna use them, but you don't
Speaker 2: have to trip over them every day of the year.
Speaker 2: So look up, and there's even racks.
Speaker 4: There's rails.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've seen these, where you can
Speaker 2: put the rails on the ceiling of the garage. Again
Speaker 2: away from depends on how your door is set up.
Speaker 2: In your door open or set up, did you put
Speaker 2: the rails? And then they got these plastic containers that
Speaker 2: just slide right into those rails. I like that, which
Speaker 2: is really nice because a lot of people, as we
Speaker 2: take down decorations, either outside or inside, one of the
Speaker 2: places that people store stuff and I'm here to tell
Speaker 2: you and not the best place.
Speaker 4: In the world to store is in the attic.
Speaker 2: Really yeah. For number one is that attic, even when
Speaker 2: it's ventilated, gets hotter than it is outside because it's
Speaker 2: an enclosed area. Even with the vents. If it's ninety
Speaker 2: degrees outside, that attic well ventilated still might be one
Speaker 2: hundred and ten hundred and twenty degrees and those wires
Speaker 2: on those lights and things, they're not designed to do that.
Speaker 2: And the second thing is, you know anybody it's fallen
Speaker 2: through their ceiling, Yeah, did that thirty years. Everybody's got
Speaker 2: a story.
Speaker 1: I will not.
Speaker 2: I have not because I don't store things.
Speaker 4: In the attic. But that happens too.
Speaker 2: People get up there, they get a you know, a
Speaker 2: little not real focus to what they're doing. They're trying
Speaker 2: to pick up the box and move this, and they
Speaker 2: step between the joyce and boom, you know, you're coming
Speaker 2: through the drywall. So there's a couple of really good
Speaker 2: reasons not to store stuff in the attic. There you go,
Speaker 2: And how do you store your paint cans?
Speaker 7: Well, I'm was just gonna say, you've got paint cans
Speaker 7: on our list here. I've got some in the basement,
Speaker 7: but some we moved from the garage at the end
Speaker 7: of summertime.
Speaker 4: What do we do with use paint cans?
Speaker 2: Well, in some cases find out if you even have
Speaker 2: that color in your house anymore. Because I went through
Speaker 2: this about a year and a half ago, and I
Speaker 2: don't know, I think I had something like thirty eight
Speaker 2: paint cans and I had colors that were long gone,
Speaker 2: and so I started checking how much paint was in
Speaker 2: each can. And sometimes if there's you know, three or
Speaker 2: four inches and it's a latex paint, you can put
Speaker 2: kitty litter in there, keep the lid open, it'll solidify
Speaker 2: and you can actually put it in the landfill. But
Speaker 2: if you got a half a gallon of it, or
Speaker 2: even a full gallon, I had a couple of those,
Speaker 2: there's places that take those. Matthew twenty five ministries habitat
Speaker 2: for many restores. I know, Matthew twenty five, they actually
Speaker 2: have it and ship it overseas.
Speaker 4: Really.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's only latex paints. If it's oil based paints,
Speaker 2: usually your county or city will have you know, drop
Speaker 2: off for hazardous materials and that's how you get rid
Speaker 2: of the oil bases. But the latex you can solidify
Speaker 2: or donate and goes for a good cause.
Speaker 4: For sure.
Speaker 7: Wow, we did this also, I like that it's on
Speaker 7: your list here. Store things under the bed and beds
Speaker 7: under flat containers, drawers, boxes.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, And that's a great area.
Speaker 2: You know I was talking about looking up you can
Speaker 2: look down to and underneath the bed. In a lot
Speaker 2: of cases, that's just a big voided area. I've you know,
Speaker 2: we have all kinds of plastic containers. A lot of
Speaker 2: people have. But even if you go and you have
Speaker 2: an old dresser that's not being used, maybe it's stored
Speaker 2: on the other side of the basement, you can actually
Speaker 2: take the drawers out. Think about that really, and then
Speaker 2: put the clothing in or whatever you're saving, and slide
Speaker 2: the whole drawer underneath the bed.
Speaker 4: It works beautifully.
Speaker 2: I've even seen people put on little casters on the
Speaker 2: corners so it rolls in and out. You can turn
Speaker 2: the under part of your bed into a chest of drawers.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you also like incorporating shelving in our homes.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, yeah, you know. The worst thing in doing
Speaker 2: a basement I was talking about an attic and the
Speaker 2: worst thing and doing a basement store things in cardboard
Speaker 2: and even wood shelving that absorbs moisture. Basements are usually
Speaker 2: damp moisture and organic material can cause mold. Really, metal
Speaker 2: racking is readily available. I would use the metal racking
Speaker 2: more than I would use wood shelving, and I certainly
Speaker 2: wouldn't store things in cardboard.
Speaker 4: It kind of just.
Speaker 2: Draws that moisture and Again, if you get a little
Speaker 2: more and mildew growth, you kind of start having some
Speaker 2: unhealthy air in your home. So again looking at the cube,
Speaker 2: looking up, you can go all the way up to
Speaker 2: the joist and store some things.
Speaker 4: And that's a good way to do it.
Speaker 2: But first we got to go through the three piles.
Speaker 2: Remember trash donate.
Speaker 4: Mind there you go. I like this perfect time of year,
Speaker 4: perfect weather.
Speaker 7: Can't go outside, myst So maybe New Year's resolutions are
Speaker 7: what to do that.
Speaker 2: It's even warm enough today to get in the garage.
Speaker 2: Oh huh, you can put your motor bed, run the
Speaker 2: gas out of that bad boy, clean up the shovels.
Speaker 2: If you're looking for something to do, and I'm going
Speaker 2: to guess around four o'clock, wall all be looking for
Speaker 2: something to do. Absolutely, hey, this on your list.
Speaker 4: Here. Keep your manuals. Tell me about that. Well, you know,
Speaker 4: whenever you have.
Speaker 2: I just went through a couple of refrigerator repairs and
Speaker 2: an oven repair, and we have our manuals pretty organized
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of really good information in there
Speaker 2: about just trubble shooting, what the problem is now. So
Speaker 2: I encourage people to keep them. But there's other things
Speaker 2: you need to know too if you start having a
Speaker 2: problem with a refrigerator or something. A lot of times
Speaker 2: there's a QR code on, especially in the newer ones,
Speaker 2: on the inside part of the door. It'll have the
Speaker 2: serial number of the model number. And you shoot that
Speaker 2: QR code and your manuals there. Oh, how cool was that?
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool? I did know that. That is pretty cool.
Speaker 4: So you know you can keep your manuals.
Speaker 2: I think it's a great resource and something everybody should
Speaker 2: hang on to. So but look for that QR code.
Speaker 2: You may have one, and then you're kind of set.
Speaker 2: To be honest with.
Speaker 7: You, one more thing here, walk around the house that
Speaker 7: leads at least one time each season tell me, well.
Speaker 2: You gotta have you gotta have your New Year's resolutions, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: So walk around that house and see what doesn't look right.
Speaker 2: I guarantee you you'll find something like a downspout that
Speaker 2: doesn't line up with the underground drain, or the gutters
Speaker 2: tilted forward, or there's a crack going up through the
Speaker 2: bricks it or paints peeling. If it doesn't look right,
Speaker 2: it isn't right, and start putting a plan together to
Speaker 2: get it fixed. And speaking of and do that every season.
Speaker 2: I guarantee you will find something. And if you want
Speaker 2: to keep on doing resolutions for New Year's how about
Speaker 2: read the directions absolutely a lot of times on the calls,
Speaker 2: a lot of times that answers. Right on the label
Speaker 2: of the paint, How cold can it be when I
Speaker 2: paint the labeled?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 7: Gary Sullivan at Helm with Gary Sullivan, Saturday Sunday mornings
Speaker 7: on fifty five. Care see, thanks for talking to us
Speaker 7: on New Year's Day.
Speaker 2: You're quite welcome, Steve.
Speaker 4: You have a great year, all right, you too.
Speaker 7: All Right, it's coming up now eight nineteen seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 4: And here's what I think.
Speaker 7: Everything's been cleaned up on all that stuff going on,
Speaker 7: yes or nothing I can see, all right, So road's
Speaker 7: pretty clean. The weather looking like this, cloudy, it's going
Speaker 7: to be cold the next few days. Cloudy tonight, cloudy Tomorrow,
Speaker 7: cloudy Friday night, cloudy Saturday. Oh look it says mostly
Speaker 7: cloudy Sunday for the Bengals game today thirty three, Tomorrow
Speaker 7: thirty seven, Saturday thirty five, but cloudy. It will be
Speaker 7: near forty for the Bengals game. So that's a bit
Speaker 7: of good News twenty five now and it feels like sixteen.
Speaker 7: At news Radio seven hundred WLW, the Bengals Who Day
Speaker 7: Report is coming up next.
Speaker 4: As a founding partner of iheartwomen's sports network.
Speaker 5: As long as they're rippled, this is the Bloomberg money
Speaker 5: Minute on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 6: This is a Bloomberg money minute. When someone buys a
Speaker 6: million dollars of shares in a company, the market notices
Speaker 6: when it's that company's own CEO. The market gets excited,
Speaker 6: based in part on the idea that if the boss
Speaker 6: is that competent, investors should be two shares of Nike
Speaker 6: arising more than four percent today after CEO Elliott Hill
Speaker 6: disclosed that he has purchased more than sixteen thousand company
Speaker 6: shares worth roughly a million dollars. The Santa Claus rally
Speaker 6: the period of Wall Street gains that usually close out
Speaker 6: an old year and usher in a new one. Is
Speaker 6: it really happening this time around? The main indexes are
Speaker 6: on pace to finish twenty twenty five with four straight losses.
Speaker 6: Right now, the Dow, NAZAC and S and P five
Speaker 6: hundred each are losing about a third of a percent,
Speaker 6: Although for the year. A different story, a twenty twenty
Speaker 6: five that witnessed a dramatic downworth swing this spring than
Speaker 6: a recovery this summer. In fall is set to close
Speaker 6: with strong gains for stocks, with the SMP set to
Speaker 6: lock in a seventeen percent annual advance. Andrew rote Bloomberg
Speaker 6: Radio seven hundred.
Speaker 7: WLW, looking back on twenty twenty five, I thought we
Speaker 7: talked to Mason Lee there, ABC News digital reporter in
Speaker 7: New York.
Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, how are you. I'm doing wonderful, How
Speaker 4: are you good? Good?
Speaker 7: A lot of things happened in twenty twenty five. This
Speaker 7: one's kind of surprising. Trump got rid of all the pennies,
Speaker 7: so they stopped making them. But do I understand America's
Speaker 7: smallest coins brought in some big bucks in the last
Speaker 7: couple of weeks.
Speaker 8: You are absolutely right, So, as you know, kind of
Speaker 8: one of the biggest developments I guess you know in
Speaker 8: the financial space for America is that we are leaving
Speaker 8: the penny behind this year. And so pennies from the
Speaker 8: final minted run of the coin sold for almost seventeen
Speaker 8: million dollars at an auction, which is pretty incredible.
Speaker 4: I mean, you said This isn't one penny, this is several.
Speaker 8: So in total, the Mint auctioned off two hundred and
Speaker 8: thirty two sets of three pennies each, and so the
Speaker 8: two hundred and thirty two sets is an ode to
Speaker 8: the two hundred and thirty two years that the penny
Speaker 8: has been minted in America, been seventeen ninety three. And
Speaker 8: each set of three pennies that was sold off, each
Speaker 8: of the lots, which is what they're called by the auctioneer,
Speaker 8: had a twenty twenty five penny from the Philadelphia Mint,
Speaker 8: a twenty twenty five penny from the Denver Mint, and
Speaker 8: then one special limited twenty four care gold penny also
Speaker 8: made in the Philadelphia Mint.
Speaker 4: Wow. And what was the amount that they received? Did
Speaker 4: you say?
Speaker 8: So? They received almost seventeen million dollars, which equates to
Speaker 8: about round seventy two thousand dollars for each of the
Speaker 8: two hundred and thirty two sets, and the final set,
Speaker 8: lot two hundred and thirty two sold for eight hundred
Speaker 8: thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 7: And according to this is Staxbauers Galleries in California.
Speaker 4: Is that who bought them? Exactly? So Stacksbauers galleries.
Speaker 8: They're the auctioneer who sold them off to you know,
Speaker 8: private people or companies that bought these points, and they're
Speaker 8: kind of known as the top coin auctioneer sellers in
Speaker 8: the country.
Speaker 7: Right, we're talking to Mason Leath, ABC News digital reporter.
Speaker 7: Things that happened in twenty twenty five, Let's get to Uh,
Speaker 7: it's messy, it's meaningless, and it's everywhere.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 7: The Marion Webster twenty twenty five word of the Year was.
Speaker 4: What so Well.
Speaker 8: According to Merriam Webster, they have crowned their twenty twenty
Speaker 8: five word of the Year as the word slop. Do
Speaker 8: you have any idea what slop could mean in the
Speaker 8: context of twenty twenty five?
Speaker 4: No, slop slop right exactly.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 8: Merriam Webster defines it as quote digital content of low
Speaker 8: quality that's produced in huge quantities, usually by artificial intelligence
Speaker 8: end quote. So you can think anything from fake news
Speaker 8: that looks real, junkie AI written books or Instagram post
Speaker 8: you know, bizarre suspicious looking ads, pointless work reports floating
Speaker 8: around on the internet, anything of that nature. It's the
Speaker 8: stuff that's just everywhere that you love to complain about.
Speaker 4: And it's called slop exactly.
Speaker 8: Slop actually is not a new word as we know.
Speaker 8: It actually dates back to the year seventeen hundred when
Speaker 8: it first meant soft mud. In eighteen hundreds, it became
Speaker 8: to mean food waste and eventually became slang for rubbish,
Speaker 8: you know, something of little or no value. And now
Speaker 8: it's involved in twenty twenty five. To me, you know,
Speaker 8: digital rubbish.
Speaker 7: Yeah, my grandfather used to go out and you'd always say,
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go out and slop the hogs or the pigs.
Speaker 7: So that's what I thought about it. I thought about
Speaker 7: feeding the pigs when I heard this. Hey, Mason Leith,
Speaker 7: ABC News digital reporter in New York, thanks so much
Speaker 7: for reviewing twenty twenty five and reminiscent with us.
Speaker 8: Thank you so much for having me in. Cheers to
Speaker 8: another amazing year.
Speaker 7: Absolutely all right, it's eight forty three. Bill Cunningham is
Speaker 7: going to join me next. He is going to break
Speaker 7: down all of his favorite and news stories of twenty
Speaker 7: twenty five. We will find out with Willie what's going on?
Speaker 7: Did you see this from Food and Wine dot Com.
Speaker 7: They've got a new survey that reveals the number one
Speaker 7: city Americans want to visit just for food, and I'm
Speaker 7: surprised that this is number one. Philadelphia Cheese Steaks is
Speaker 7: where people want to go. Twenty seven percent of the
Speaker 7: respondent's named the cheesy sliced beef sandwich has their ultimate
Speaker 7: domestic food.
Speaker 4: Are you serious? I get this one New York City.
Speaker 7: They want to go there and get a slice of
Speaker 7: New York style pizza. And interestingly enough, younger Americans would
Speaker 7: take a food focus trip more than older Americans Gen
Speaker 7: zers forty four percent, millennial thirty one percent would take
Speaker 7: a food vacation. Gen xers twenty one percent, Baby boomers
Speaker 7: eleven percent never thought about really going for a food vacation.
Speaker 7: But number three was Kansas City for barbecue, Chicago Deep
Speaker 7: Dish Pizza for Central Texas style, barbecue style in Texas.
Speaker 7: There what else was on the list? Gumbo in Louisiana,
Speaker 7: biscuits and gravy Southeastern US, lobster roll in Maine and California,
Speaker 7: in and out burger.
Speaker 4: How about that? All right? I agree with some of those,
Speaker 4: not all of them.
Speaker 7: It's eight forty five now und WLW the nine first
Speaker 7: Warning Weather Forecast Center.
Speaker 4: Looking like this gonna be cloudy.
Speaker 7: The next few days thirty three today, thirty seven, Tomorrow Saturday,
Speaker 7: it's gonna be thirty five Sunday, though mostly cloudy. For
Speaker 7: the last Bengals game, it should be mostly cloudy to sunny.
Speaker 7: I should say thirty nine degrees and check this out.
Speaker 7: Predicted high's next week as of right now, Monday fifty two,
Speaker 7: Tuesday fifty seven, Wednesday fifty four. So it's gonna happen, people.
Speaker 7: It's gonna get warmer. Right it's still twenty five around
Speaker 7: the Tri State, feels like sixteen at your severe weather
Speaker 7: station News Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 4: Willie joins me. Next, I'm going to fix that leaky showerhead.
Speaker 4: Each year we make New Year's resolutions in hopes of
Speaker 4: bettering ourselves. I'm gonna listen to the Big One NonStop.
Speaker 4: Good luck with yours.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna lose one hundred and fifty useless pounds by
Speaker 8: dumping my loser boyfriend.
Speaker 4: Have a safe and happy New Year. From seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: Get ready to get lucky at Miami Ball of Gaming
Speaker 1: with over twenty two hundred gaming machines.
Speaker 7: We got you, seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati. It is New
Speaker 7: Year's It is time to remember twenty twenty five, and
Speaker 7: the only person that could do at any justice is
Speaker 7: our own Bill Cunningham.
Speaker 4: Happy New Year, Willie.
Speaker 9: Hawk Man. I'm so a little hungover from last night,
Speaker 9: even though I don't drink, watch a lot of football
Speaker 9: games and things of that character, and all I'm ready
Speaker 9: to do is talk talk. All I do is talk
Speaker 9: hawk Man is not that important?
Speaker 7: There you go, well, I would talk about twenty twenty five.
Speaker 7: Let's start first. Trump began his second term. Your thoughts
Speaker 7: on that this past year.
Speaker 9: I often said to your executive producer DuJour Danny boy
Speaker 9: Gleason that many times, as Americans, we do not deserve
Speaker 9: to live in the era of Trump. Things are so good,
Speaker 9: and things are so great, and America is so strong
Speaker 9: that we don't deserve to be alive in this era.
Speaker 9: I don't want to overestimate it too much, but can
Speaker 9: you imagine the road and not take it? What if
Speaker 9: we were sitting here beginning twenty twenty six in the
Speaker 9: White House would be Kamala Harris backed up by Tim Walls.
Speaker 9: So whenever I think, okay, you know, Trump says a
Speaker 9: few things, I may not like the words that he
Speaker 9: says at times. But the policies are unbelievable, unbelievable, and
Speaker 9: I am blessed to be a great American.
Speaker 4: Good somebody else got a second term.
Speaker 7: Closer to home, the mayor of Cincinnati have to have
Speaker 7: privall your thoughts on that.
Speaker 9: We are cursed. All I can say is this that
Speaker 9: if we live in a time with a mayor cannot
Speaker 9: pay his car note, it's no joke. You got to
Speaker 9: pay your note. When we have a mayor that's having
Speaker 9: cars repossessed, that's not a good look. Would you agree?
Speaker 4: I would agree?
Speaker 9: And secondly, and secondly, the city manager has found bankruptcy.
Speaker 9: It is taxling and those two are in charge of
Speaker 9: the money. So I don't think in the real world
Speaker 9: either one would function. Somehow the city will putter along.
Speaker 9: But how are we looking? Not good? Not good?
Speaker 4: Not good.
Speaker 7: We're talking to Bill Cunningham reminiscing about twenty twenty five
Speaker 7: up sad news last year, Charlie Kirk assassination.
Speaker 4: How did you handle it on your show? And your
Speaker 4: thoughts on that?
Speaker 9: To me? Serious a little bit, you know, it's hard
Speaker 9: for me to be serious starting the new year. But
Speaker 9: they have murdered the messenger. But the message lives. About
Speaker 9: a week ago Erica had the big get together year end,
Speaker 9: what was a little before Christmas. There were like eight
Speaker 9: thousand devotees. And many have said that this thing cannot continue.
Speaker 9: But I have hope that there's a God in heaven above,
Speaker 9: and I'm sure there is that Charlie Kirk is in
Speaker 9: his hands right now. And the Lord said on September
Speaker 9: the tenth of last year, that welcomed welcome home, my
Speaker 9: good and royal servant. And Eric, I tell you it
Speaker 9: was just it was a punch in the gut. And
Speaker 9: I know the bullets are going one way.
Speaker 10: Trump was shot once and shot about to be assassinated
Speaker 10: a second time, and looks to me like the bullets
Speaker 10: are going one way, and I wish the bullets from
Speaker 10: every angle would simply.
Speaker 4: Stop, Amen, Bill Cunningham.
Speaker 7: Last year we lost Pope Francis, but we got the
Speaker 7: new American.
Speaker 9: Pope, all hail Leo. And the odds of him being
Speaker 9: the Pope, we were told was like non non existent
Speaker 9: because it would give too much power to one country,
Speaker 9: which is America, which is I think always a good idea.
Speaker 9: But the idea was that, look, we have the President
Speaker 9: Trump who's not reticent, shall we say, dominating the world stage.
Speaker 9: Many call the Trump star the president of the world.
Speaker 9: And now on top of that you layer an American Pope,
Speaker 9: which is never even close to happening before. And even
Speaker 9: though his policies may not be liked by a lot
Speaker 9: of conservative Catholics, to have an American pope fills me
Speaker 9: with emotions. I have a hard time expressing well.
Speaker 7: Bill Cunningham's with us remembering what happened in twenty twenty five. Bill,
Speaker 7: if you would have asked me the last few years,
Speaker 7: when we were talking on New Year's Day, I would
Speaker 7: have bet millions that I would never ever say this.
Speaker 7: But Pete Rose is no longer on Baseball's permanent ineligibility list.
Speaker 9: He had to die to make that happen, and I
Speaker 9: know that Donald Trump had a lot to do with it.
Speaker 9: You know, both Pete Rose and Donald Trump are in
Speaker 9: the World Wrestling Federation Hall of Fame, the WWE Hall
Speaker 9: of Fame, as Pete Rose in it and Donald Trump.
Speaker 9: So in a sense, Pete Rose is in the better
Speaker 9: hall of fame already, the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Speaker 9: And one of the best events I've ever seen is
Speaker 9: when Big John stud Pile drived Pete Rose upside down
Speaker 9: into the mat, and then he was stunned. And it
Speaker 9: took Donald Trump to give him mouth to mouth, mouth
Speaker 9: the mouth in order to get Pete Rose to live again.
Speaker 9: So will Pete Rose get in the Hall of Fame
Speaker 9: supposedly in twenty twenty eight the next veteran's ballot. I
Speaker 9: doubt it. Does he deserve to be in the Hall
Speaker 9: of Fame? Absolutely? Absolutely absolutely?
Speaker 7: Were you stunned that they took him off the permanent
Speaker 7: ineligibility list?
Speaker 9: Well, that's a kick in the teeth. You got to
Speaker 9: be dead to have Baseball to do what's right? Are
Speaker 9: you kidding me? You got to be dead in order
Speaker 9: for Baseball and Manford to do what's right. And Pete
Speaker 9: Rose of course got that done. He called Manfred and said,
Speaker 9: you got to get this done. And I look forward
Speaker 9: to the day that Pete will also have his conviction,
Speaker 9: shall we say, for tax evasion overturned, which that should
Speaker 9: happen also, But I say, long lived Pete Rose. The
Speaker 9: Great fourteen, the Great fourteen Pete Rose, Kenny Anderson, and
Speaker 9: Oscar Robertson, not bad. There's that number again, fourteen.
Speaker 7: Speaking of Pete Rose, of the Cincinnati Reds, Red's making
Speaker 7: the playoffs this past year, what do you see going
Speaker 7: forward in twenty twenty six for your beloved Cincinnati red Legs.
Speaker 9: Oh ask you this hawk man. Are the Reds a
Speaker 9: year better or a year older? I think they're a
Speaker 9: year better. They get to the playoffs and they get
Speaker 9: stunned by the Dodgers in three straight, but they got there,
Speaker 9: and they got there because of sweeping the Cubs at
Speaker 9: home and then going up to Milwaukee two out of three.
Speaker 9: So if they play like that, they those seven games
Speaker 9: the Reds and those seven games went six and one,
Speaker 9: which is not bad. And so I always am hopeful.
Speaker 9: I say, keep hope alive. Keep hope alive in twenty
Speaker 9: twenty six, Uh, Willie?
Speaker 4: One more question about twenty twenty five.
Speaker 7: The Cincinnati Bengals turf toe injury season faltered. Your final
Speaker 7: thoughts on our beloved Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 9: I think of the toe, I think of the calf.
Speaker 9: I think of the knee. I think of the wrists
Speaker 9: from the wrist to the knee to the calf to
Speaker 9: the toe, from the toe to the calf to the
Speaker 9: knee to the wrist sounds like a song. If we
Speaker 9: can keep if we can keep Joey Burrow, shall we
Speaker 9: say vertical and not horizontal? Is going to be a
Speaker 9: good year. So I predict write this down, hawk Man,
Speaker 9: Write it down. Twenty twenty six, Write it down. The
Speaker 9: Reds win the World Series, oh my, the Bengals win
Speaker 9: the Super Bowl and Xavier marxistic glory and win their
Speaker 9: third national title in the nit how about that.
Speaker 7: I've got it on tape and I wrote it down,
Speaker 7: so I'm not gonna forget any of that.
Speaker 9: Will isllylujah, Hawkman, mellelujah, hallelujah.
Speaker 7: Thanks for joining us on New Year's Day, and it's
Speaker 7: time for twenty twenty six and Bill Cunningham show another
Speaker 7: year of stuff we need to hear in this town.
Speaker 9: Bringing on Hawkman, bringing on
