Speaker 1: Money, money, money, money news is like potato chifs I
Speaker 1: can't get enough as long as they're rippled. This is
Speaker 1: the Bloomberg money minutes on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: This is a Bloomberg money minute. Gold and silver shimmering
Speaker 2: this morning, surging to an all time high, partly on
Speaker 2: global political instability after record highs for the Dow on
Speaker 2: SMP the day before Christmas holiday, stock futures indicating a
Speaker 2: lower open for the Dow this morning. China announcing sanctions
Speaker 2: against some US defense companies and also some executives in
Speaker 2: response to US ARM sales to Taiwan. Northrop Grumman, L Three,
Speaker 2: Harris Maritime Services, and Boeing's operations in Saint Louis among
Speaker 2: those mentioned. The sanctions seen as largely symbolic, and after
Speaker 2: years of kids clubs, luxury resorts are leaning into family
Speaker 2: camp with hotels offering activities the whole family can do
Speaker 2: together instead of sending kids to those kids clubs. The
Speaker 2: programs aimed to bridge the interest of parenting kids with
Speaker 2: activity like scavenger hunts, spot dates, and storytelling sessions as
Speaker 2: adults look to make memories with their children together while traveling.
Speaker 2: Now Denise Pellagreedy Bloemberg Radio.
Speaker 3: Thanks Denise.
Speaker 4: It's just about eight ten on seven hundred WLW. It's
Speaker 4: a Friday of the day after Christmas. Steve Hawkins in
Speaker 4: for Tom Brenneman. We always get to talk to Matt
Speaker 4: Roush talking TV at this time.
Speaker 3: Hey, good morning, Matt. How are you.
Speaker 5: I'm hanging in there about you. A happy day after Christmas?
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I hope you had good holiday, you and your
Speaker 4: family and friends and everything.
Speaker 5: Everything's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 4: There's not much going on here for the week between
Speaker 4: Christmas and New Year's even Netflix pretty much mostly quite
Speaker 4: except for that stranger things.
Speaker 3: They're going to wrap it up on New Year's Eve.
Speaker 5: Yeah, got a few things, of course, because Netflix never
Speaker 5: slows down. But yeah, this is that very very brief
Speaker 5: pause in the world of television where things are relatively quiet,
Speaker 5: that we're heading toward New Year's Eve. So there are
Speaker 5: a few things though happening. I will say, the big
Speaker 5: thing that everybody's looking for that I'm hearing from anyway
Speaker 5: on today or tonight, is that HBO Max the streamer
Speaker 5: is closing out their first season of a show that
Speaker 5: has created quite a bit of buzz in all kinds
Speaker 5: of corners, but it is called Heated Rivalry. This series,
Speaker 5: only six episodes of the first season comes from Canada,
Speaker 5: is an acquisition that HBO had. But this is a
Speaker 5: show about hockey, but it's really a love story. It's
Speaker 5: set in the world of hockey. It's a gay love story.
Speaker 5: The two young men, one from Canada one from Russia
Speaker 5: on opposing teams and the media has made them real rivals.
Speaker 5: But what they don't know is that secretly they have
Speaker 5: basically fallen for each other. So but of course, in
Speaker 5: the world of sports, it's very hard for people to
Speaker 5: be who they really are if they're not playing by
Speaker 5: the regular rules. So anyway, that has been playing out
Speaker 5: over several years during this during the first season, if
Speaker 5: he did, Rivalry based on a series of young adult
Speaker 5: novels that are also quite popular. So anyway, the final
Speaker 5: episode drops today and I would call this episode the
Speaker 5: Summer that Changed Everything. They spend some time together between seasons,
Speaker 5: but anyway, this is one of those shows that has
Speaker 5: become quite an addiction to those who have found it.
Speaker 5: But it'll be back for another season at some point,
Speaker 5: and maybe they'll do more than six episodes. That is
Speaker 5: sort of the streaming way though, shorter seasons, long breaks
Speaker 5: between seasons. But I have a feeling when he did
Speaker 5: Rivalry comes back, it'll also be pretty hot.
Speaker 4: Well, why are they doing like six episodes? Why don't
Speaker 4: they do like twenty or twenty five episodes like the
Speaker 4: regular TV.
Speaker 3: Used to do.
Speaker 5: Well, it's the way that streaming kind of works. I mean,
Speaker 5: even Netflix, I mean, their series tend to be about
Speaker 5: eight to ten episodes max. I mean even some of
Speaker 5: the really popular ones are only about eight episodes. There
Speaker 5: must be some kind of algorithm that tells them that,
Speaker 5: especially for shows that drop all at once. I mean
Speaker 5: this has been avera weekly on HBO, But this sort
Speaker 5: of streaming thing is that they do. It's the economics too, maybe,
Speaker 5: but they do fewer episodes. You watch them like all
Speaker 5: at once, especially on Netflix, and then it takes them
Speaker 5: a long time to make another season and they don't
Speaker 5: air them weekly. So it is just the way that
Speaker 5: streaming has kind of played the rules. I don't always
Speaker 5: agree with it. I love the roll out, the weekly
Speaker 5: rollout of episodes of the series, but Netflix has kind
Speaker 5: of changed the equick equation. They figure that if they
Speaker 5: put a show on They're going to give it to
Speaker 5: you and you can watch it as you want to
Speaker 5: watch it, as opposed to waiting every week for the
Speaker 5: next episode, which is you know, it works for some series,
Speaker 5: it doesn't work for some. And the danger, of course,
Speaker 5: when you produce as much as Netflix does, is that
Speaker 5: even a really good show can sometimes get lost in
Speaker 5: the wash if it drops all at once. It's like
Speaker 5: you're only writing about it, only talking about it on
Speaker 5: the time that it premieres, and then it's really up
Speaker 5: to you whether you can actually find the series if
Speaker 5: you know, two days later, four more series premiere. So
Speaker 5: it's a lot. The world of streaming is still a
Speaker 5: work in progress in many ways, but in this particulicular case,
Speaker 5: this show broke out for HBO Max and it doesn't
Speaker 5: air on regular HBO. You have to you have to
Speaker 5: be streaming to watch it or watch it online. But
Speaker 5: it has been a real success for HBO. I think
Speaker 5: nobody saw this one coming.
Speaker 4: I was talk about Tuesday Night Netflix. They got some
Speaker 4: comedy going on there, right they do.
Speaker 5: Ricky Gervais, one of their more popular personalities is his
Speaker 5: fourth stand up special. He's also created several series for them,
Speaker 5: one in particular Afterlife as one of the really good
Speaker 5: series that rich Ricky Gervais did. Of course, Ricky Gervaise
Speaker 5: became famous for starring and and creating the original British
Speaker 5: version of the Office, which of course then became a
Speaker 5: huge hit for NBC with Steve Carell. But uh, but
Speaker 5: Ricky Gervaise very bold, very remember him when we used
Speaker 5: to host the Cold Globes. Yeah, never really, never really
Speaker 5: shies from controversy. But in this stand up special that
Speaker 5: drops on Tuesday on Netflix, it's called Mortality, and he's
Speaker 5: going to be confronting mortality and death and all kinds
Speaker 5: of other funny things. It'll be a little bit dark,
Speaker 5: but he says it's his most honest comedy special that
Speaker 5: if you're a fan of your bage, you're gonn want
Speaker 5: to check that out. That's on Tuesday on Netflix.
Speaker 4: Hey, when I was a kid, mom and dad went
Speaker 4: out for New Year's Eve. The rest of us got
Speaker 4: to stay home with Grandma and order a pizza and
Speaker 4: watch Dick Clark's rocking New Year's Eve. And it's that
Speaker 4: time of year again coming up next week. Tell me
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, definitely, this is the one that most people
Speaker 5: were going to be watching. If you're staying home to
Speaker 5: watch TV, you're probably got it on ABC for what
Speaker 5: they still call Dick Clark's New York's New Year's Rock
Speaker 5: and Eve, even though now it's hosted by Ryan Seacrest,
Speaker 5: who's picked up the banner for quite a few years now.
Speaker 5: But it's always like, who are they going to do
Speaker 5: to bring in the New year? Who's when the ball
Speaker 5: drops on Times Square? Who's going to be singing this year?
Speaker 5: That honor goes to Diana Ross. So they have found
Speaker 5: a real living legend diva. You know, we just had
Speaker 5: Share on Saturday Night Live. But now we're going to
Speaker 5: get Diana Ross in Times Square doing the doing the
Speaker 5: ball drops, So that's going to be a big deal.
Speaker 5: But they've expanded the focus of this New Year's Rock
Speaker 5: and Eve last few years, so it's not just New
Speaker 5: York they're doing this stuff. You're also going to get
Speaker 5: segments from Chicago and Las Vegas and Puerto Rico. You're
Speaker 5: even going to get a bit from Kansas City. Chaperone's
Speaker 5: going to be singing from Kansas City, Post Malone from Nashville.
Speaker 5: But you've got all these different cities that'll be doing
Speaker 5: the ball drop. So that's a big deal. That is
Speaker 5: always going to be the number one. But if you
Speaker 5: don't want to watch ABC, there's other ways to watch
Speaker 5: the New Year's happening on television. CBS stays in Nashville
Speaker 5: for five hours from like ten o'clock until you know,
Speaker 5: the wee hours. There's a two hour toast what they
Speaker 5: call a Toast to twenty twenty five on NBC. We're
Speaker 5: just hosted by Today personalities Jenna Bush and Hoda Kotby,
Speaker 5: and that's more of sort of an NBC centric I think,
Speaker 5: not so much entertainment on that one. CNN, of course,
Speaker 5: as we have for many years now, Andy Cohen from
Speaker 5: Bravo teams up with Anderson Cooper to sort of get
Speaker 5: a little toasty as they get into the new year.
Speaker 5: They do that, yeah, and then they do that in
Speaker 5: New York and then do reports across the globe. So
Speaker 5: you'll see the way that all these other work those
Speaker 5: countries are going to be bringing in the year. So
Speaker 5: CNN has the wide focus, but I think most people
Speaker 5: will be watching the entertainers on ABC that that is
Speaker 5: the one that has, like you said, it is it
Speaker 5: is the tradition that when I was a kid, it
Speaker 5: was Guy Lombardo and it was very, very sedate. But
Speaker 5: now ever since Dick Clark, Dick Clark did it, it'll
Speaker 5: be a way to run to welcome in twenty twenty six,
Speaker 5: which can't get here soon enough.
Speaker 4: If you ask me, Oh my goodness, Guy Lombardo, you
Speaker 4: do there's grandma. I have my grandma watching that one.
Speaker 4: We wanted to watch, Dick Clark. Do they do you know,
Speaker 4: they do the one for the East Coast, do they
Speaker 4: repeat it in the other time zones or do they
Speaker 4: actually do some of those portions live again after.
Speaker 5: They they stay on pretty LATEV shows that there didn't
Speaker 5: be like a one o'clock you know, our time would
Speaker 5: be there, so an after show, or they might do
Speaker 5: some repeat segments. But the way the idea though, of course,
Speaker 5: is that this stuff is going to be continuing to
Speaker 5: air an other time zone, that even maybe even Hawaii
Speaker 5: gets to see some of this even as they're welcoming
Speaker 5: the new year. Who knows. But yeah, but the TV
Speaker 5: is one way of bringing in the new year, and yeah,
Speaker 5: it's coming, like it or not?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: And I got to put you on the spot here
Speaker 4: to wrap things up, this link to your top ten
Speaker 4: shows of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: Our listeners can get that right yeah.
Speaker 5: On tv insider dot com, which is our website, you
Speaker 5: can see what I chose as my top ten shows.
Speaker 5: If you want to quick run down for a second,
Speaker 5: I will tell you that Apple TV did very well.
Speaker 5: I had three shows from Apple on their severance, Pluribus
Speaker 5: and The Studio, which won the Emmy for Best Comedy,
Speaker 5: really great Hollywood satire. But my number one show is
Speaker 5: The Pit and good News about Fans of The Pit,
Speaker 5: which air on HBO Max. Hospital drama that brought Noah
Speaker 5: Wyley back to the er. He won an Emmy. The
Speaker 5: show won the Emmy for Best Drama. A terrific ensemble
Speaker 5: show that set every season is set in one day,
Speaker 5: one shift. Every hour is one hour episode, gripping, emotionally wrenching,
Speaker 5: everything you want in a hospital drama and wonderful cast
Speaker 5: in this show. Season two is coming on the Horizon
Speaker 5: on one week from January first, which is January eighth.
Speaker 5: They'll begin airing episodes weekly, fifteen episodes. This one kind
Speaker 5: of breaks the streaming rules. This one feels more like
Speaker 5: a regular network series on when they can push a
Speaker 5: little bit further. It's a great show.
Speaker 4: And is it about the hospital or the emergency room
Speaker 4: or the entire hospital?
Speaker 5: What is it? It is an ER show. Okay, the
Speaker 5: pit is the sort of the it's set in Pittsburgh,
Speaker 5: and that is sort of the jokey name for anything
Speaker 5: where nothing is a joke in the er. But it
Speaker 5: is basically an ER show. It kind of reinvents Er
Speaker 5: in some ways when you think about what a huge
Speaker 5: hit that was for NBC back in the day, made
Speaker 5: Know a wiliest star, and now he and several people
Speaker 5: who are producing the show also are veterans from the
Speaker 5: regular Er series. But I think they've taken it to
Speaker 5: a new level with the intensity of your following some
Speaker 5: of these cases hour after hour in this one day,
Speaker 5: So it doesn't have that sort of everything wraps up
Speaker 5: in one hour. It just sort of escalates since you
Speaker 5: follow some of these cases and some of these people
Speaker 5: because they come into the er and then you know,
Speaker 5: you have to like let things play out, and some
Speaker 5: of them are quite emotional. It's a really great series,
Speaker 5: but also just the cast is so good. These young
Speaker 5: interns and now a new bunch of medical students, because
Speaker 5: we've jumped forward ten months from the last season and
Speaker 5: it's on the fourth of July, so a lot's happened
Speaker 5: on the fourth of July. So that's the idea of
Speaker 5: the second season of The Pit. It will probably be
Speaker 5: on my list of top ten shows for next year too,
Speaker 5: we'll see.
Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna have to watch that one because
Speaker 4: I need a new show. Matt Rash, how do we
Speaker 4: connect with you?
Speaker 5: Well? TV Guide magazine and then daily on TV insider

Speaker 4: Seven hundred WLWN, Cincinnati, Steve Hawkins. In this morning, I
Speaker 4: thought we would go out to the Strong National Museum
Speaker 4: of Play and talk to one of their curators, Merrik
Speaker 4: Stoley with us.
Speaker 3: Hey, good morning, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 7: Hi, thank you for having me.
Speaker 3: If I understand.
Speaker 4: Correctly, you guys are in charge of the National Toy
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame, and every year at this time you
Speaker 4: induct different toys and or board games and things like that.
Speaker 7: Yes, that's correct.
Speaker 3: What did you induct this year?
Speaker 8: So this year we inducted two board games, so those
Speaker 8: were Battleship and Trivial Pursuit, and then one toy Slime
Speaker 8: though I guess toy is a broader label, but yes.
Speaker 4: So how do how do you how'd you get down
Speaker 4: to those three? Did you start off with more toys
Speaker 4: and games and weed it down?
Speaker 7: Yes, we start with many more.
Speaker 8: So there's a public submission period, so we have a
Speaker 8: form on our website. We received more than twenty one
Speaker 8: hundred nominations this year, and those were for three hundred
Speaker 8: and eleven different toys.
Speaker 7: So from there we narrow that down to twelve.
Speaker 8: We have a committee of toy historians and experts from
Speaker 8: the industry who narrow it down to twelve finalists and
Speaker 8: then we vote on those with them to determine the
Speaker 8: three inductees.
Speaker 4: And so there's is it three every year or can
Speaker 4: it be more getting than inducted?
Speaker 8: I believe there have been one or two years where
Speaker 8: we've done four, but it is typically three.
Speaker 4: He and what other toys or things are in the
Speaker 4: Toy Hall of Fame?
Speaker 8: Oh, well, there are many things, a lot of things
Speaker 8: you might expect. So in terms of like board games,
Speaker 8: of course, we have Monopoly, the Game of Life, but
Speaker 8: also things like Barbie, of course is in there, and
Speaker 8: more unconventional toys, but things that I.
Speaker 7: Think are widely played with. We inducted sand within the
Speaker 7: last five years or so. Yes, that was a big one.
Speaker 8: There was some controversy in the early two thousands, I
Speaker 8: believe when we inducted the stick.
Speaker 7: Things like the cardboard box.
Speaker 8: These very imaginative sort of toys that are they're very ubiquitous,
Speaker 8: but they're not necessarily what we think of as toys.
Speaker 3: Is slinky in there, That's a good question.
Speaker 7: I believe slinky is, but I'm not totally.
Speaker 3: That's all right.
Speaker 4: I believe playdough was invented here in Cincinnati. I get
Speaker 4: playto in the Strong National Museum of Play. Where are
Speaker 4: you guys located.
Speaker 7: We are located in Rochester, New York.
Speaker 3: And it is a It is a museum.

Speaker 4: of places are hosting some New Year's party. Tell me
Speaker 4: about start with Little Miami.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so they're recommending that you come by and enjoy
Speaker 9: Pseudo Nano, which is a pretty good cover band. They
Speaker 9: do a lot of stuff like Chris Dableton, Weezer and
Speaker 9: a few others Radiohead and that. So that'd be a
Speaker 9: nice way to go bring in the New Year over
Speaker 9: at Little Miami and.
Speaker 4: One am I drinking at Little Miami. What are you
Speaker 4: going to suggest for New Year's Eve?
Speaker 3: Anything? Any favorites or at all?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 9: Really, anything Jim makes It's always good. You can't go wrong.
Speaker 9: The Earth Cookie is always a fun one.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 4: Okay, Gilligans is that next? They're hosting twenty twenty six
Speaker 4: Midnight in Dublin.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so if you don't want to stay up till midnight,
Speaker 9: you can celebrate New Year's and we'll do a Dublin
Speaker 9: ball drop at seven pm. Or if you're up for it,
Speaker 9: they're also going to do one which is based with
Speaker 9: the New York time at midnight, so you can make
Speaker 9: your choice there and if you don't celebrate too much.
Speaker 9: You can come back the next day and they're going
Speaker 9: to have a brunch and if you do both events,
Speaker 9: you get twenty percent off of your brunch.
Speaker 4: I like that midnight in Dublin. That's what I'll have
Speaker 4: to do. I'll have to do the seven o'clock one.
Speaker 4: At Gilligan's Opera House. They got a keg tapping going
Speaker 4: on Wednesday night to thirty first at six o'clock.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so you know, just toys in with their normal
Speaker 9: keg tapping for the month and they're doing their Schwarz
Speaker 9: beer and that'll start at six o'clock. Then if you
Speaker 9: can hang around, you're welcome to stint till midnight and
Speaker 9: ring in the new Year. And I recommend you try
Speaker 9: their German style meat loaf.
Speaker 3: That's what I do.
Speaker 4: New Year's Great Beer at West six Street, the Covington
Speaker 4: House Offborough House.
Speaker 9: They say that right, Yeah, this is the West sixth

Speaker 3: What is going on at Ryan Guys on New Year's Eve?
Speaker 9: So this year their theme is Starfall, which is modeled
Speaker 9: after the novel Court Court of Thorn and Roses, which
Speaker 9: is tied in with the Starfall theme here that they.

Speaker 4: Eve party at their Factory fifty two location.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's their new one up there in Norwood. If
Speaker 9: you haven't any chance to get there, that might be
Speaker 9: a good way to check out their new location. And
Speaker 9: then and then fifty West is doing an early ball
Speaker 9: drop as well. Since they've got so many things themed
Speaker 9: around the kids in that they thought it'd be a
Speaker 9: good idea to do a seven pm ball drop over
Speaker 9: there so you could show up do some stuff with
Speaker 9: the kids.
Speaker 5: Good over there on Wooster Pike.
Speaker 9: And then they're also recommending that as dry January rolls
