It was nineteen sixty five on this date when we first saw Charlie Brown Christmas.
The first animated TV special featuring the characters from the Peanuts comic strip by
Charles Schultz premiered on CBS, and the Vince Garalding trio became mainstays of Christmas
time. It's here a little musical moment of zen for me and childhood memories
before we look at and look back at events and people tied to this particular
date, including but not limited to these. Eighteen fifty four Alfred Lord Tennyson's
famous poem The Chargearge of the Light Brigade, published in England. An explosion
inside the Cross Mountain of coal mine near Briceville, Tennessee, nineteen eleven killed
eighty four workers. British forces captured Jerusalem from the Ottoman Turks the state in
nineteen seventeen, and seventy years later on this date, the first into Fada
or uprising began. His riots broke out and Gaza and spread in the West
Bank, triggering a strong Israeli response. They just never quit trying to kill
the Jews. Leckwillessa one, Poland's presidential runoff by a Landslide. He was
a Solidarity Union leader and founder. That was nineteen ninety This is the day
that Prince Chuck and Princess Diana announced their separation in nineteen ninety two, and
in two thousand. On December ninth, the US Supreme Court ordered a temporary
halt in the Forida vote count, on which al Gore pinned his best hopes
of winning the White House the election Denier al Gore twenty three years ago.

it's five forty one and the Saturday morning edition on seven hundred WLW. This

oho Cincinnati Bearcats make the long journey north to Cincinnati to play the four and
five Xavior Musketeers and the Crosstown Shootout. Cincinnati is looking to get their first
win at the Centas Center since two thousand and one. Tonight at six point
thirty. You see broadcasts can be heard right here on seven hundred WLW and
the Xavier broadcast can be heard on fifty five KRCW. Here's the thing that's
problematic. I think for the Musketeers, they have had a problem playing together
all season, and the quality of their opponents, mind you, has been
slightly better, to say the least, than the UC Bearcats. But the
Bearcats looks like they have some coherency and they look like a team. Xavier
has just looked confused every time I've watched. I think you can come into
this game throw everything else out the window. Though. This game's just a
different type of basketball game from a rivalry game standpoint. No, it always
is. It's just I don't like Xavier's chances, just personally. Bengals trying
to make it two in a row with Jake Browning behind the controls and the
Colts coming into town tomorrow. Yeah, the Bengals has to Gardner Menshew led
Colts tomorrow afternoon in a Quarterbacks Star Quarterback Battle. Coverage begins at nine am
live from Holy Grail at the Banks. Kickoff the set for one PM,
and coverage of the game can be heard right here on seven hundred WLW.
Gardner Minshew sounds like something that you should have, action that you wanted to
point up. Oh, there was an Electric FCS playoff game last night between
the Paladins of Firm and they fell to the Montana Grizzlies thirty five to twenty
eight and overtime of the last night, those thirteen seconds left in the game,
fourth down from the seven yard line, the Firman quarterbacks getting sacked makes

times John Lennon, a day after his life on this earth was snuffed out
by Mark David Chapman walking home to the Dakota apartment building he shared with his
wife, Yoko Ono. Let's go to old radio Rick with a reception report
on a Saturday morning. Hello, Ricky, how are you hey? Good
morning Gary, Jeff. Well, it's about a four x four morning.
It's pretty loud and pretty clear. But not every not every radio is quite
capable of a five by five. This one is a nineteen forty nine jewel
brand. It's known as the Wakemaster nine five. So it is indeed an
AM five tube AM clock radio and plastic case available in the festive colors of
white and black, your choice and not. What's else to say about it.
It's a pretty basic little five to two radio. It's nice looking and
the clock is particularly attractive. Although the half life of the radioactive materials to
make the hands glow in the dark is long gone. You're not seeing it
in the dark anymore, but that will happen. Oh jeez. So,
I mean, there wasn't any nuclear radioactivity emanating from this little device, was
there? Not? As far as you know, all the old watch and
clock glow in the dark material was slightly radioactive. Nobody was going to,
you know, set off a Geiger counter or die from it. But it
was a radioactive material that actually made that glow in the dark work, and
it only recharges so many times. So let's try and make an appointment right
now to do something Monday night on the Nightcap. We've been that sounds good.
We've been missing each other for the past couple of weeks, but we
do have some things to sort out and that would be a perfect time to
do that. Listen, I got a run, but it's been fun and
we'll talk to you soon. Go to Old Radio Rick at gmail dot com

it. But you never know what these teams. All I'm saying is Dan
Horde, do not sleep on Joe Sunderman. Hey, this is like in

Bengals head coach Zach Taylor and coach have to say. The fan base,
I'm sure is feeling a whole lot more positive about these next five games after
the Monday night game. And I don't know, I would have to think
you are too safe to say, well, it's good to get a win.
These guys have been working hard and you know yourself, performance like that
coming from our guys, and I just got to keep stacking it every week.
The guys were great, but one in particular and ends up as the
offensive player of the week. You say he puts in a lot of time.
He is, he's a guy who preps, but the fact that he's
I mean offensive Player of the Week. You weren't expecting a performance like that.
Well, I thought he managed the game really well, you know,
and and he was confident himself. And like I said, he's been putting
in this work for three years that we've seen and so no, I I
hate to say that I was surprised by it because I think crows that he
expects to make and next thing, you know, he's the AFC Player of
the Week. So I thought that was pretty good for Jake. Absolutely never
did hear the uh the throw from Tyler Boyd who was the target on that
or was that still a trade secret because it might come up again. No,
we were throwing into the running back, you know, and he's he
Shoot, we've probably got about one hundred yards on that play in the last
couple of years, so the defender was a little bit different place than he
usually has been. Yeah, that's the way it goes sometimes when you call
a trick play like that, and and uh so, you know, maybe
maybe put on the shelf for a while, but we've usually done a great
up excusing it just didn't go away that time. Yeah, it was certainly
a team effort. The run defense was was dramatically improved. I didn't look
at the numbers, but watching the game, it looked dramatically improved. It's
different when you can control the game like we did, you know, at
least at least be right there with a tight score for most of the game.
More slightly, it helps you on both sides of the ball run and
stop the run. So you know, being able to play that way is
certainly going to help our rushing attack on both sides of the ball. All
right, So got the Colts on Sunday, typical one pm start. Excuse
me, strengths of strengths of the Colts. What are you seeing there?
Their defensive line is really good, you know, guess probably Donnis for a
long time. They've got some really good players up front, and so that
they make things difficult. And the running in the pass. Offensively, they're
they're really creative. I think Change Stiken's a good offensive coach and they do
a good job. Yeah, final ways to win at the end of the
game. They just found ways to win, and that's why their record is
what it is. All right, all right, let's go, thank you
for your time, best of luck on Sunday, and I'll talk to you
next week. With a constantly changing landscape of technology, it's important to stay

watching Charlie Brown Christmas. Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown Christmas. The first time
mesmerize at the dancing Peanuts characters. I had that danced down for a little
one six five On this Saturday, December ninth, twenty twenty three, Gary
Jim trying not to have a Biden moment before the show's over. Let's have
a Steve for Metina moment, shall we? Good morning Steven, Good morning,
sir. Let's start out with the best factoid of the week, Cheryl
Atkinson on full major Yes here it is over forty percent of transpatients have the
HIV virus. For black people, over sixty percent of trans patients have the
HIV virus. That's good news for drug companies who can make even more money
off transsexual patients. One drug company has eleven HIV and age related drugs currently
on the market. I am shocked in a way of all the surprise everybody
has as what with regard to what's going on on college campuses. Well,
I'm an old guy, so I lived through, you know, the Vietnam
protests era. Well, let's go back and take a look at that.
After the violent protests that surrounded the Kent State and Jackson State shootings in May
of nineteen seventy, the University of Iowa, where Gary Jeff's father went and
I went, protesters demanded that the university shut down. It did as professors
reviewed to hold classes, and the college president gave in. The university president
was Willard Boyd. He acquisessed, which is doubly notable because Boyd was a
former law professor at the University of Iowa and he would wind up teaching in
that law school for fifty years, which is currently named after him. Students
got the grade that they had so far in the term. Yeah, they
weren't allowed to finish the term. Of course, I was a grad student.
I'm still waiting for reimbursement for the lectures that I avowed by renegade faculty
members. I don't think that's going to come anytime soon, Steve All.
This followed two years of what University of Iowa now calls peaceful demonstrations on the
Iowa City campus. It is not peaceful when a gang of thugs burst into
a department chairman's office, scare the hell out of secretaries and faculty, and
take over with no consequences. Amen outside anti warror activists meanwhile weighed Viet Cong
flags, flags of the communist insurgents who were then killing Americans. Folks.
This is nineteen seventy. Yeah, and you're shocked at what's going on this
year. Those clowns, those students are now the professors. Yep, yeah,
uh u non violent, you say, We'll tell that to the faculty
member whose research work over multiple years was destroyed in an arson ooh Arson committed
on his office and the surrounding area of his building, all on Attorney Boyd's
watch. He was so adored that he was brought back as interim president in
the early two thousands. Willard Boyd died last year at a sixty five years
He was on the University of Iowa faculty at one capacity or another. So
I checked the student newspaper, The Daily Iowa I once worked on it.
They printed an obituary and I thought, oh, I got to read this
and see what they said about the nineteen seventies. Well, it made the
nineteen seventy fiasco amid campus chaos look like it never happened. No, never
happened. So I wondered, being a journalist myself, did they simply reprint
a university public relations blurb without checking their own morgue. That's their file copies
of past issues which would have chronicled the violence that was answered by shutting down
the university. I lived through it. They're lying by omission. Well,
if so, it's shoddy journalism by student journalists. Well, Steve, you're
on a roll here. I just got to stop you for a second.
You're shocked that these aren't objective journalists that only tell you half the story.
Oh, I was just kidding. Okay, Well, it's right throughout the
quote unquote journalism industry. But please continue. By the way, I had
a couple of professors at IOWA that I really liked, particularly in journalism.
One was Don Woolly. Don Woolly was a renegade by the way of the
nice type. He just didn't fit in. He was a good teacher,
and I took a public relations class from him, and the first exercise was
take a newspaper and take a sharpiet and indicate all of the articles in there
that you think came out of a public relations office or public relations you know
mill and so all of us had to go through this, and of course
we were all waiting to see, God, what is the of the crap
that comes out of pr offices, you know, versus everything else? And
so what it finally came down to when don you know, greated all these
and gave him back to us. We were all short, you know,
we were like thirty forty percent. The answer was eighty five percent. So
what you have to do is recognize that is propaganda and judge accordingly if you
want to report correctly. By the way, Uh, let's look Overseas for
a second. You know we've had Holocaust deniers. Now we have abomination deniers,
don't we Uh? And just one more comment here, all of these
stories about Hunter Biden. Finally the IRS kidding after him, and I think,
if I read this rite, he's going to have to produce six years
of ten forties. That's the key to this story, not the fact that
it's one point four million. They say that he's owed on seven million dollars
of unreport income. By the way, that's only twenty percent, and that's
just standard. When the IRS starts, it's like if you win the lottery.
You know, they'll automatically take twenty percent out. But hell, you
got to do the ten forties you know later, and it's going to be
a hell of a lot more unless you have write offs. Let's say Hunter
produces these ten forties. This is so good and indicates, perhaps truthfully,
well, fifty percent of what I made went to my father. Oh,
now we can check daddy's ten forties, can't we, And we can sock
it to him. And wouldn't that big grounds for impeachment? Oh? My
goodness? And if I have time, let me do this. More books
have been published on the subject of Abe Lincoln than any other president by far.
I've read many of them. Not a one says his being gunned down
in one Washington d C was followed by a hue and cry for gun control.
Could it be that we realized at that time guns won Blacks their emancipation.
They did not win it by virtue of a piece of paper. Thank
you, that's it, amen, Thank you Steve Real quickly, my friend
Ray from Loveland. How you doing, my friend? Good morning, Gary,
Jeff. You know it's raining outside, but it's Sonny on the radio
with your great show. Brother. It's awesome. But you know he said
something about peanuts. You know, it's worthy of a mention that Charles Schultz,
the true meaning of Christmas that was inserted into that program almost did not
happen. CPS is my memory serves me, we're very concerned about that being
in there, and they wanted him to pull that from his program, and
he would not relent. And what a wise man, and what a great
story, what a great show. God bless America, God bless your brother
Mary. Christmas, God bless you, mister Scott. Merry Christmas to you.

oh, let's switch gears. What a wonderful world it is. Let's talk
about it. Environmental engineer Steve Schultz to see tree so green, resist,
I see the blue following you, and I'll think to myself, what a
wonderfu Well. The COP twenty eight Climate conference in Dubai is finally finished,
and Steve, good morning. Do you have a report? Oh, lots
of things, but obviously only got a few minutes. But again, it's
about scientific education on indoctrination, and I have a new one consensus. Science
is my role. But let get started. It was embarrassing start to the
top. Twenty eight. The conference chairman, Sultan Algebbar spoke out quote,
there's no science out there or no scenario out there that says that the phase
out of fossil fuel is going to achieve one point five three c above pre
industrial levels. Show me a roadmap for a phase out of fossil fuels that
will allowed for the sustainable socioeconomic development unless we want to take the world back
into caves. Quote quote Now, at the end of that he did say
at some point we need to replace fossil fuels, but he says it has
to be is done by a back by science and in the practical manner.
You can imagine how livid certain people were about these opening remarks. Oh yeah,
but John Kerry, of course, you know, he had to say
something, so he took the stage and he promised to shut down all unobated
American coal power plants I think by the year twenty thirty. So what's unobated,
it's carbon captured. So that basically means John Carey wants to if he
had his way, he's all existing col power plants will be shut down by
twenty thirty. Meanwhile, China is building one hundred and eighty two Who he
was, you know, so much for that. That comes from seafact dot
org. Another one from seafact dot org. Private jets flocked in Dubai for
COP twenty eight event, the largest carbon footprint in the history. And one
of the reasons is there's approximately one hundred thousand attendees that COP twenty eight as
compared to forty ninth thousd than at Egypt last last year. And then from
the Climate Change Roundtable number ninety nine from heartland dot com from yesterday, a
couple of goodies. One is again China and India reject reject again climate loss
and climate damage demands. That is that they would have to pay out to
other developing countries' money. Of course, we know China is over thirty percent
of the global carbon emissions for those who care, and greater than US and
Europe combined. And then ah, despic I call it despicable virtue signaling.
The COP twenty eight session had a session on did this Gary Jeff quote responsible
yachting today and tomorrow responsible to YACHTI I think that was for John Carrie when
he moves his report. It was reported that Jeff Bezo, the guy who
owns Amazons, has a super yacht that puts out seven thousand tons per year
of carbon. For those who care for those in bevas, that's fourteen million
pounds per year for Jeff Bezos to sell his his super yacht and not to
be outdone, Gary jeff Real quickly. Yesterday the seacap Sea fact dot org
reported that the Climate Justice Alliance, the Global Grassroots Justice Alliance, and the
Indigenous Environmental Network repeatedly charged Israel in the United States with genocide and co and
gaza. Of course, at no time the mass cur of the Israeli citizens
and raping and whatnot was mentioned. This just shows what's happening out there.
Every radical cause is being shoehorned somehow, some way in the environment and the
climate change crisis. They're all the same. They're all the same people,
and they are the worst people on the planet. Steve, thank you so

only Roco Costelano Roco Good Morning. We got a couple of minutes, so
let's get right to it. What's on your mind? Okay, Gary,
Jeff? What I wanted to I told about today was children and sleep because
the school systems that we have right now are are absolutely creating an environment that
children do not get enough sleep. And what's what's really weird and what's a
little you know, bizarre, is that younger children need about twelve hours of
sleep, and we as adults, tend to make teenagers wake up really early,
and they actually need more sleep than the younger children. So hold hold
on rock. Teenagers need more than twelve hours of sleep. Yeah, Actually
their brains are developing in a at a different rate. Even though young children
their brains are developing, teenagers actually need to sleep longer and beyond. So
too many, too many times, we're short sleeping. It's called all children
in general, but teenagers for the most part. No, teenagers should be
waking up at seven o'clock in the morning and going to school. They should
be waking up at around at nine o'clock and then going to school to learn.
So we're literally short sleeping teenagers by about two hours. And when you
find that they're grumpy or they're not doing well in school, is most likely
due to a poor sleep. That's why mom and dad, and that's why
mom and dad insisted on strict bedtimes and we were growing up. Roco,
thank you so much for that look. More from rock O Costalano on the

I like to refer to them as the with wacky, wild weird stories
from around the United States and the world. Here is Tom Davis. Good
morning, Gary, Jeff. This week where do you hide your Prairie Dog?
But first, a woman in Wisconsin is under investigation after injuring herself during
an MRI. Somehow, the fifty seven year old was able to smuggle in
a firearm during the procedure and the giant magnet used during MRIs was powerful enough
to set the gun off. The bullet landed right in her left butt cheek.
Luckily, she was already at the hospital, so she was cared for
it right away. Speaking of smuggling, some crazy guy in New York was
caught trying to get to otters and a prairie dog through an airport terminal.
He had them both stashed in his underwear and they could clearly be seen in
the monitor during the X ray. He was arrested on the spot. Some
girl who thought she was being cool posted her new tattoo to TikTok. She
had been vacationing and roco and got a tattoo in Arabic that was supposed to
mean something deep, but the Internet burst her bubble. It translates to mayonnaise
and speaking of time abroad, they call it the most romantic city in the
world, Venice, Italy. That's probably why a gondola full of zoomers decided
to stand up in the boat to get a selfie. Instead, they provided
endless entertainment for the passers by as their vessel flipped and they swam for their
lives and for their phones. Next week, don't call it a comeback.

home of the best Bengals coverage. Hi, Tony by good have you on
the show? How you doing? Always a pleasure? All right? Fans
are feeling better about their team after that showing last week by Jake Browning.
Question is how much difference does it make once somebody gets tape of an entire
game played by Jake Browning. What can defenses do to thwart him from having
the kind of day he did last week? Well, if you look at
what the Bengals tried to do, it was getting the ball out early in
the game and getting easy completions. I mean Jamar Chase had but four catches
for under twenty yards at one point. That was just to get Jake Browning
comfortable. When a defense allows a quarterback to get comfortable, then you start
seeing that the confidence grow, you start seeing some of the smaller window throws.
So that's where Jake Browning found his success. So I would not envision
Indianapolis allowing him to get such easy completions early. Make it a little bit
tougher. But if the Bengals can run the ball. They ran the ball
so well against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who one of the top defense in the
league against the run, running sets up so many options for Jake Browning passed
that if they can find ways to continue to run the ball, they will
have success. So if you're a defense, you want to stop the run.
You want to force the second third lungs, and you want to try
to take away the easy stuff. Early Chase Brown made a big difference.
He had a couple of nice runs and he got the impression maybe that lit
a fire under mix into I don't know, work a little harder. What
do you think I mean, I think at this point, you know,
Joe Mixon is not going to be the electric, break a seventy yard run
type back. His big plays are going to be ten to twenty yards.
Chase Brown, in limited action this year, has shown the ability to be
the explosive back. He has a thirty one yard run against Jacksonville, which
is the longest by any running back this season. He provides a really,
really nice change of pace in the backfield. Whereas Joe Mixon is such a
physical presence, Chase Brown can go around you. And I think that gives
them a good little dynamic for a one to two option at running back.
I guess the Cults have a pretty dynamic front. On defense. I think
everybody along there has five sacks or better, and that could put it was
a significant problem. Yeah, they are. They're one of the most balanced
defensive lines in the NFL. You think of a lot of defense that have
one or two standouts. India is just solid across the board. And if
you look at the Bengals offensive line that has been a struggle at times this
year. Again, if you're getting the ball out quick, those guys can't
recavoc. But if you're not winning on first and second down, if you
get into third and long situations, the Indianapolis pass rush is a group that
can cause a lot of havoc on a game plan. We'll see what chakes
out, Tony Bike, and I'll talk to you next Friday, same time.

Maybe the birthday on Monday, she turns seventy nine and sixty five years after
she recorded that song, It was a balmy day. Sixty five years ago,
thirteen year old girl walks into a Nashville Owen Bradley's Nashville studio and Owen
got it really set up for her. He had the studio all deck dat
of Christmas decord to get her in the mood to sing the songs. I
talked to Johnny Marx years ago. Johnny Marx wrote that song and he wrote
it especially for Brenda Lee. And it was like, well it because Wendlelee
at that time I was like twelve years old. And then she recorded when
she was thirteen, but she had never had a hit. She didn't have
a hit yet. But he loved her hearing her sing songs like John Beliah,
and so he got a song, gave it to her Root Oflf the
Red Nose Reindeer. He wrote that he wrote the Hally Jolly Christmas. He
wrote, I hear the bells on Christmas Day. He wrote so many great
classic Christmas songs. I'm talking to Johnny Marx. I said, Johnny,
you must really have a great time of Christmas. He said, Jimmy,
So I don't celebrate Christmas. I'm Jewish. So he wrote that song that
became you know here there is a number one record all these years later.
A wonderful lady. I did one show with her. We did a number
of shows, but the one show with like twenty thousand people in about ninety
degree temperature, and I can still see her holding their little granddaughter before she
went on stage to sing that song in front of twenty thousand people, and
it was like close to ninety degrees. She is a tiny little person,
isn't she. Yeah, beautiful lady. I'm a wonderful lady, and so
unaffected by her success. The member that did not and did not at all
sound like did not at all sound like she was thirteen and you know,
when you get into the early sixties, he's still a teenager and she just
is singing these wonderful grown up songs. Up next in our list one of
the British Invasion bands. I really liked this guy. Mike Smith was a
lead singer of the day. Flag five did one number one hit record,
but they had so many other hits. He would have been eight on Wednesday
this week, and he died in twenty and eight, just eleven days before
he was to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer. That
Dave Clarke five, Now he was very good on the piano as a kid.
Better fact, the team's at thirteen past the entrance exam for Training Music
College in London met Dave Clarke played on the same football team, one big
team over in England and they were friends. And then Dave Clarke got this
little band together and Mike Smith was a tire, says his lead singer.
He had this rasby barantone voice, and between nineteen sixty four and nineteen sixty
five they had so many hit records. They after the Beatles, they were
the grip that came in and they were their biggest rivals until the Rolling Stones
came on this team. But he also was a chief songwriter with Dave Clark,
and they wrote first hit clamb all over Bits and pieces up ton of
hims the two of them wrote. So he even though he wasn't the front
man on the band with his name out there, he was really the sole
in the lead singer of the band. And the drumming sound that sometimes sound,
that was the signature of their sound. So many hit but they did
have one number one hit. They had a lot of top ten hits,
but they had one number one hit. It was the Bobby Day song over
and over again and and it's the signature sound of that thumping, thumping drum
sound and then the keyboard with the great lead voice of Mike Smith. And
they changed the verse version a little bit. The last line everybody went stag
uh. They changed it to everybody there was there on the day Clark five
version. But he and I talked and said that the coming to America,
said, I couldn't get over the tall buildings. Theyver saw tall buildings like
that before. And I didn't understand why those teenage girls were screaming and yelling
so much. We just didn't understand all that. And they were on the
Head Settlement Show a record time like eighteen appearances and sold over one hundred million
records. Let's let's dive into their number one over and over and over and
over and over. Well the other night, everybody there was then saying over
and over and over again. This time Sola there say over and over and
over again, this time soon to be trying say overhead, over end or
over again. This thanks shown to be trying out all at once. It

She went away away away, down away, stay, geway away away,

that's a nice seven LW Rock and Roll Archaeology on a Saturday morning with Jim
Levarma, the music professor. I'm Gary, Jim and Jimmy up next on
our list. Uh this is is this another birthday mentioned from this week.
Yeah, he turned eighty four years old yesterday. He's still going strong.
He's the ice Man. He's in the Hall of Fame with the Impressions,
and a lot of people think I think he deserves to be in as a
second inductee as a solo performer. Jerry Butler came out of Chicago, Gary
Jeff. His dad passed away when he was young, and he was like
the provided the male of the family. Had to make some money, and
he was starting to be an ice sculptor, and he also sang some music
in the church choir and with a couple of friends, Curtis Mayfield, they
had a little gospel group and they sang around in Chicago and really just wanted
to go in and make a record in nineteen fifty eight to win to make
a record to be on the radio. And they had no idea what would
happen if they became the magnitude of being successful, And that's what happened.
He became very successful. He had that record with the Impressions. The song
he wrote as a poem they sang the song became for your Precious Love when
the greatest love songs ever made his career was off and running. He will
break your hearts so many hits. Make it easy on yourself. Let it
be me, And almost a decade later the solo perform on his own.
He wrote a song with Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. This predated the Philadelphia
International Sound and they went in the studio and kept this song and it became
the sole anthem to so many people around the world. Stephen Wonder said,
Jerry Butler's Only the Strong Survivor is not just a song. It's a philosophy
that resonates with the heart and soul of humanity. And if you listen to
this, this remind me of clients. Carter patches the spoken word intro.
He's, I mean Mama's words of wisdom. You know, I remember my
first love affair and Mama's great advice. And then he gets to the payoff
is the chorus where Mama's message goes beyond how to deal with a breakup of
this a more universal life's lesson. And this is one of the songs that
resonated, especially during the sixty civil rights anthem. But the message is as
poillant today as it was. But it became a million sellar and the number
four hit in nineteen sixty. I agree, the ice man always made quite
the impression. I remember my first love of fare somehow enough that the whole
darn thing went wrong. My mama had some great advice, so I thought
I'd put it in the word to this song. I can still hear saying,
boy Wor sitting out there all alone crying, has a costal that's gone.
All that's going to be. That's gonna be a whole lot of trouble
in your life. Oh so listen me get a balconies. That was only
the strong, That's what she said, Only the straw, only the strong.
And Sama, he got be strong about hole around with your head hold
down. I wouldn't let the little girl know you, wouldn't let her know
that. She made me feel like a clown. That a wall lot of
girls. You're looking bugging man like you all, but you little meat on
it. You give up now and say you're lie strew. Then she said,
all those little strolls about, all little strongs about you gotta be a
man. You gotta take a stand star, Hey, you got up the
star Rock and Roll Archaeology Jim Lebarbara, the music professor standing by he moved
from Jerry Butler to another song that relates to this weekend in history, and
to explain that once again, Jim Lear, Barbara Hey, Jerry, Jeff
it was this week In nineteen seventy six, the five Fevers Fortunes were about
to change and release the album Night Moves, and it became a number eight
album seller on the charts, sold like over eight million copies. And he
said, witness shows with him in nineteen sixty nine because he had to hit
record Grambling gamblin Man in nineteen sixty nine. But then then it was a
regional star in Cleveland and and then Detroit, and he struggled to make an
impact, and then this album came out and it became a smash and he
all of a sudden was the national name Bob Seeker. And the song,
the big song that came out of that was the title Night Moves, went
to number four, sold a million copies. So it's the story of a

of a Chevy. And then he took some liberties with the lyrics and the
story. It wasn't in the backseat of the sixty It wasn't the back seat

But there was this dark haired Titian girl, her name Renee Andretti. Her
boyfriend was in the military. He was away and he was in love with
this the Tian girl, and she was like twenty years old. He's nineteen
at the time. Yeah, And he pursued this romance with her, and
eventually her boyfriend returned and they got married. But a lot of his early
songs were written about this girl and the romance, and it took him over
six months to write this song. Then the movie came out. He saw
it in there in nineteen seventy three, American Graffiti, Uh set in nineteen
sixty two, and he goes out and says, wait a second, hey,
I've got a story to tell. Nobody has ever told about how it
was to grow up with my neck in the woods. And he writes this

it often comes in with a big, thick book that he sits and reads
while he has a couple of cocktails after work, and I said, have
you seen the new Peter Bronson book The Man who Saves Cincinnati said? Yeah,
you know what I bought. I heard him on with you and I
bought the last two, The Forbidden Fruit and Not in our Town. And

Hey, I think we can arrange that real quick. They had a three
point zero earthquake up at Finley A Highway twelve thirty less this early morning.
Case, there's a happy couples up there. Thought the Earth was moving,
but no, it was just an earthquake. Okay, herey, Jeff,
we got the return trip coming up now. At the eight o'clock last night,
Haley's comet finally made its Aphelian on the elliptical side of its path around
the Sun all the way out to the end of the Solar system. So
it finally turned around and it's three point two seven billion miles away. So
now at eight o'clock last night, it's thirty eight years from now it's head
and launce way back. So in thirty eight years and twenty sixty one,
it's going to be back around the Sunny. That's what. I don't think
we're going to do a follow up show on this. By the way,
you know what, if in fact I was alive when Haley's comment, I'd
be approaching one oh one, and I'm not sure I want to live that
long. Well, I don't. First of all, if I am alive,
I don't think I'll have the division to be able to see it.
So the last pass was the last pass was what seventy six, nineteen eighty
six, and that was a disappointment because it was on the other side of
the sun and we couldn't see it, and it was quite the quite the
letdown. But thirty eight years from now, so if you kids are anybody
born after nineteen eighty two, you got a fifty to fifty chance of seeing
it. So I have a question about that. Yeah, yeah, what's
your question, Pete. I often hear it called Halle's comment and Haley's comment,
So which is it, Sir Edmund Holly Hallie's comment? There there we
go, all right, So my story, Yeah, Peter, your one
book about the syndicate in Cincinnati. Yeah, I personally No are new Uh
Pete and Uh and Bud Andrews the nephews of No Kid. Absolutely, I
can tell you some stories about him that will be the follow up to that
book. So they had normal names like Pete and Bud, not like Spider
and Screw. I met Spider too. Yeah, my guys, that must
have been an interesting family Thanksgiving. Hey, Spider Passators, we'll get into
it. I'll see you. I'll see you sometime around. Hold on,

To help us share the word of God this morning, Brother Rick Green joins
us from Spiritwork Cincinnati. I'm gonna let it shine light of mine. I'm
goad it shine, miss mine. I'm going to let it shine, Let
it shine, let it shine shine. Yeah, brother Green, good morning.
Oh yeah, Gary, I woke up playing for you and all of
your missings. Thank you need every every bit of prayer we can get,
brother, Hey, we all do. Gary. Today, we got a
good one coming from Psalms from one thirty verse five. It says I wait
for the Lord. My whole dean waits, and then his word I put
my hope. That's the good news, Gary, Well, you know,
and it speaks to waiting for the Lord. And sometimes we have to be
patient for the things that we know are coming and the things that we wish
or pray that would come. And so that that verse to me speaks to
patience and faith and knowing that God will have the answers for us that we
need in in his time, not an hour's most definitely, Gary, I
had to learn I can't rush the process anyway. It's going to happen when
God happened the way God says is going to happen. When I finally accept
that. It's like this movie that you've been planning on making. You finally
are about your life. You know you had you had lots of lots of
time that you had to exercise patience and faith in finally getting the thing off
the ground. And you know, I commend you. That is absolutely a
test and you you're passing so far. Brother. Yeah, thank you Gary.
You know it's all God. So thank you for saying that you got
it. We'll talk to you soon, Okay, love you, all right,
you have a blessed day. All right you too. Rick Green with
us, will take a break and come right back more with Peter Bronson in

What uh? What ivon? Who I passed your book onto? Mm
hmm. The man who saved Cincinnati? He said, I had no idea
there was an assassination attempt to or plot on Abraham Lincoln. Isn't that amazing
in Cincinnati? Yeah? I was shocked too, and it's documented and it
was a very near thing. He was nearly killed here in Cincinnati on his
way to his inauguration. So he not only was nearly killed, but he
would not have been president. And then you can start spinning out alternative history.
What would our country look like today? If we had not had Lincoln
to hold it together, we would be two countries, or we would have
been two countries for so long that we would have been so weakened. You
can see that the role that the USA plays in the world today would probably
be just a small fraction of what we are. Well, you know what,
we're kind of two countries, now, boy, is that true?
I'll play I'll play a game with you. All right. Here's a game.
It's called then or now. All right. The president is a lifelong
career politician who has finally reached the top of the pyramid, only discover that
he is incapable to lead a deeply divided nation. The only thing most Americans
agree on is that he is an abject failure. Then or now eighteen sixty,
the president is Buchanan, and he was a party hack who was totally
incompetent. And the first few years of the Civil War they called it Buchanan's
War. But that could equally be And yet the parallels are obvious. Joe
Biden. Here's another one. Yeah, a presidential candidate refuses to campaign,
stays home, says almost nothing, and wins. Anyway, then or now.
That was eighteen sixty Abraham Lincoln. He stayed in Springfield and would not
campaign, he would not talk to the press, and yet he won the
election. Amazing. Here's one more. Oh yeah, this is good.
Political enemies are arrested in midnight raids then or now eighteen sixty three, a
congressman named Clement Landingham in days in Ohio was arrested and dragged out of his
house by federal troops who broke down his door and hauled him out in the
street in his pajamas for being a insurrectionist and criticizing Lincoln and being one of
the copperheads who sympathized with the South. Free speech was suspended. Oh yeah,
yeah, I knew that the writ of habeas corpus was suspended by the
Lincoln administration. And so do you see parallels? Oh, absolutely all over
the place. Look at this is happening in front of our eyes today.
So you know, if you look at some of these parallels, you have
to raise the question, at least it occurred to me, are we in
the second Antebellum period, meaning pre war period of a civil war? People
are talking about civil war? We are divided like we were. I could
go on through a list of probably a dozen of these parallels that are strikingly
similar. Incendiary partisan press, inciting violence, violence in the streets, people
assaulting congressman. That happened in eighteen sixty as well, The Man Who Saved
Cincinnati is the book. Peter Bronson is the author Chili Dog Press. And
again you're going to be at Joseph Beth Bookseller. Where is it That is

The affair that almost was. A man goes to his priest confession and
it mets his said, father, forgive me, I have send. Well,
not really, but well what happens then? Well, I almost had
an affair. What do you mean almost? Well, I met this woman
he's also married. One thing led to another week, got undress and we
rubbed together. But that was it. I stopped, and the priest said,
well, son, if it was in your mind, if you rub
together, it's the same thing as actually committing the act. I want you
to save five Hail Mary's and put fifty dollars in the poor box, and
you're absolved of your sin. Guy walks out of confessional booth, passes by
the poor box for a moment, and then leaves without putting any money in.
In the pre season, he said, I saw you. You didn't
put fifty dollars in the poor box. Well, father, as I understand
it, I rubbed the fifty against the poor box. It's the same thing
as putting it in. Right. Seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati, available everywhere

You on the campus. There the ain't a parkway, Victory Parkway. There
you go. It's the Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout tonight at six thirty. The
UC coverage here at six thirty, the Xavier coverage on fifty five krs.
See the annual tradition continues in find fashion, and a guy who will be
a part of that madness is the one and only mo Egger. Hey,
Mom, what's going on? Well, it's shootout weekend. That's the only
thing that's going on, isn't it. Uh, Well, it's the only
thing going on today, no doubt about it. Yeah. I mean I'm
not counting, of course, the NBA In Season tournament or the fact that
Montana beat Furman an overtime last night in the FCS and Army Navy game.
Army Navy game today, that's a huge tradition thing too happens to come on
the same weekend of the shootout this year. So you're a you're a UC
grad, right, No, I'm a Dayton grad, Dayton grand fan,
a UC fan, right? So is it is it hard to keep your
partisanship down on a weekend like this. Since you're a broadcaster, are you're
supposed to be objective, You're not supposed to be a home or anything like
that. I mean, do you struggle with that aspect of this? MoU
No? I mean, you know, I I love the Bearcats. Grew
up a UC fan, huge Ucy basketball fan my entire life, so my
allegiances are are are spoken for. But I mean in terms of talking about
the game, and you know, talking to Sean Miller this week, and
you know, you can't let your h your your preferences color your your commentary.
So it's it's not that hard for me because you know, I mean,
I like Xavier basketball, I like Sean Miller, have a ton of
respect for the program. People at Xavier have been awesome to me for basically
the entire time I've been on the air. But I want the Bearcats all
in well, you know, and Huggins obviously, Bob Huggins obviously long gone.
So there's less chance that to find Jesuit students at Xavier will be throwing
sex toys on the floor during the shootout today. Uh yeah, I don't
know where that came from. You know. I I've been to every Skyline
Chilly Crosstown shootout since nineteen ninety seven, all right, so it's not like
I've been to all of them, but I've been to a bunch of them.
I don't know where the uh, the sex toy toss allegation, I
don't know what that came from, because I never heard that it happened.
I've seen snowballs get thrown, but I've not seen sex toys get thrown.
And maybe maybe today that'll happen. I don't know, but I don't know
where that came from. Peter Bronson is sitting in with us, Pete.
Do you have a question from regarding the shootout anything that you'd like to know
from one of the broadcasters who will be bringing us the action. Do you
think the acrimony, hostility, belligerance has dialed back a bit or is it
still as hot. I think it's been dialed back, you know, I
mean, I don't. It feels to me like when we had to fight
eleven years ago in the game at the Centhas Center, when it was a
huge ball. It feels to me like everybody sort of took a step back
and said, what are we doing now. Is the game going to be
heated, absolutely? Is the environment going to be hostile, you know,
regardless of where it's played, Yes, But I don't think we have anything
approaching what we had, you know in the nineties when when Bob and Pete
wouldn't shake hands, or you know, in twenty eleven when we had to
fight. Now that said, these are our coaches who are still reasonably new
in their current gigs. Obviously Sean Miller has been the coach of the days
before. But I think over the course of time, if Wes and Sean
end up, you know, in their in capacities for a while, they
play a bunch of games against each other, at some point, you know,
acrimony is going to build. But I don't think anything's ever going to
approach what we saw when we had to fight. I think there's a lot
of folks who care about both programs, who, you know, in the
aftermath of that said, all right, look, this is a basketball game.
This isn't something worth losing our minds over. But it's still a game.
You know. Look, Xavier's won the last four and so from a
Cincinnati perspective, I think there's some desperation to win the game. And you
know, you see, and I say this as a Bearcat fan, you
see, as always sort of you see, fans at least have always sort
of looked down their noses, that Xager and the Mustardeers, and that's all
well and good. But if you're going to do that, you have to
beat them occasionally. And so today I've got a shot. Yeah. Is
this also and it's often been said, and I believe this is true,
just for my few years here in town watching this play out. You can
throw the records out the door when these two teams meet. Xavier is they've
had it some pretty uneven performances against against better, better known opponents this year
than you see his faced obviously, you see comes into the game unbeaten.
Do the records mean anything at all? Though? Uh No, I think
the way the teams are played mean something. I think Cincinnati has played better,
Xavier has played a better schedule. I you know, look the skyline
Cherry Crosstown shootout is is littered with guys that you don't expect to have an
impact making an impact. And you know, look over the last quarter century,
usually that's been on the Xavier side. I think, uh, you
know, I always remember Brandon Randolph in one of the games that were played
at at the Heritage Bank Center. You know, Brandon Randolph's never really materialized
into a great college basketball player, but he comes off the bench and he
makes a couple of freeze in the game that the Musketeers won. I remember
karm Canter a couple of years ago, suddenly, you know, making shots
from the corner and being an offensive force that he didn't expect on a Xavier
team that had other really good offensive players. So I think that happens all
the time. You know, I think today is interesting because you know,
you're right, Xavier's more battle tested and in their games against the most difficult
opponents, they've hung in there. You know, Purdue did not blow them
out. And there were times in that game against the Boilermakers where I felt
like, God, you know what, this game is about to get out
of hand. And Xavier had an answer. Last Friday against Houston. You
know, it was sixteen to four after the first six minutes, and I'm
thinking, God, you know, the Mostketeers are going to get blown out.
And then you know, with ninety seconds to go, the game was
still in debt. And you know, for the Bearcats, I think the
keys are the two point guards, Gisel James and Dade Thomas, who are
both new to this rivalry, the guys who I think really embraced playing an
environment like the one that Sintas Center is going to present. I think if
those two guys play as well as I I think take him, Cincinnati has
their favorite in the game more than a punch of chance to win in the
Centa Center for the first time in twenty two Does Gardner Minshew, the Colts
quarterback coming into town to face the Bengals, Does he have the best mullet
in the NFL today? Probably, But he's also one of the more turnover
players in the NFL. And that's when I'm going to be paying attention to
tomorrow. And obviously, if whoever wins the turnover battle in a game like
this is going to get the prize at the end of sixty minutes. And
the Bengals do have those players, you know, who can come up with
a random interception or you know, the block kick or the fumble and recover
it to do that. What do the Colts have on defense? Colts on
defense have thirty sacks over the last six games, so second in the NFL
in sacks. This is a team that is really good at applying pressure to
opposing quarterbacks. Now over the last six games, they've also given up four
point seven yards per carry. So what I'm interested in is, you know,
obviously, the other night, Jake Browning was insanely good and what a
cool story. Right second NFL start, He's the AFC Offensive Player of the
Week, the first player in NFL history to complete eighty five percent of his
passes, throw for three hundred and fifty yards, and rush for twenty yards
or more in a touchdown. No player had ever done that. It's remarkable.
But I think the key to that game against Saxonville was Bengals ran the
ball effectively. The Bengals ran the ball efficiently, and the Bengals ran the
ball often, which they didn't do against Pittsburgh. I think it's going to
be really interesting tomorrow to see if that continues. Obviously right now, not
just with Joe Minxon, but also Chase brown who was pretty effective. I
think if Cincinnati runs it effectively tomorrow, they're going to win the football game.
You're not going to get Jake Browning to repeat his performance against the Jags.
But god, you know what if a backup quarterback making his third NFL
start can lead on a running game like we saw the other night, well
he's got a great chance to succeed. They've got to protect him. But
more than anything, I think the Bengals have to run the ball effectively and
efficiently. They did not against Pittsburgh. They have not for most of the
season. They certainly did on Monday. If that continues tomorrow, I love
their chances. Thirty rushes and at least seven successful rollouts and the Bengals have
it all. That's what I think. My friend Pat Pat Donellan says he
had a question for mo from the bar yesterday. Mo Ason he said he
was impressed with the bullpen picks that the Reds have made the new acquisitions,
says, what about the third basement and who's on the trading block with all
these infielders now part of the Reds fold Hei, Mark carrolln Hi Mark Candelario
is a good player coming off a good season. He's got some popping and
he can play two different positions in the infield. The Reds right now have
a surplus of infielders. Nick Krawl has said we're not going to trade Jonathan
India, and maybe that's the case. I don't believe for a second that
he's off the trade block. I certainly think that they would be happy to
move him. I think what's interesting, and I'm not a very conspiratorial person,
Tyler Stevenson was not a Red Fest. Now you could read into that
what you want. The Reds obviously still have Luke Mayley, and you know,
Tyler obviously has a lot of value with somebody who can DH but also
catch. He's also entering the phase of his contract of his career where he
can start to get raises. He didn't have a great year last year.
I wonder if there's something to that. And again I'm not I'm not you
know, the tinfoil hat guy that Okay, well this happens, so let's
let's make up things that might not be in play. But I think Tyler
Stevenson's legitimate trade candidate. I think the other thing is the let's have a
really good farm system. And the thing about having a farm system is you
have prospect capital that you could use in deals. So I certainly think that's
a possibility I also wonder if maybe maybe they're going to use Elie Dela Cruz
in center field, which athletically I think he would be terrifically. But yeah,
look, they have a ton of infielders right now, and my guess
is at least one of them is going to be moved between now and when
pictures and catchers report in two months. Well, thank you very much,
have a fantastic shootout, and good luck to your cats. All right,
thanks, you got it. So Mike Allen, Saturday midday, coming right
up, counselor good morning, good morning. We have Peter Bronson with us,
and I'm there very familiar with the author, with the Man Man the
myth legend from Chili Dog Press. Absolutely have you got the Man who Saved
Cincinnati yet? I've already read it. Uh huh, Well you've had Peter.
I think it's fantastic. I've had Peter on once. My son and
I are gonna be in for Sloany the week after Christmas. Okay, he's
coming in live so great book. Every one of his books is great.
It's funny you mention that, because I just wanted to throw this out here.
I just remembered I had a guy I think his name was Tim call
a caller last week who suggested that the new I seventy five Bridge be named
the Black Brigade of Cincinnati Bridge. Oh, that's a great idea. Either
that or poutin batty. Yeah, he was a Black Medal of Honor winner
in the Civil War. I think that's a hell of an idea. Phad
and Beattie was in the Black Brigade from Cincinnati and then he went on to
fight with other units that would allow Blacks to actually carry arms in battle yep.
And he was like, you said, a Medal of Honor winner.
I think that's a hell of an idea. I hope somebody picks up the
cause on that. What's on the show today, Michael, Well, we're
gonna be talking to Steve Goodin at ten o'clock. This is the big one
about the Biden indictment. Steve's gonna break it down. There's nobody better than
him to break down federal indictment. It's going to talk to him about that.
Also going to talk about Riley Gaines sticking it to Congresswoman some I love
that. Wow. I got a little clip raid Summerlee trying to silence her,
have her words stricken when she was just pointing out her own hypocrisy.

Crosstown shootown memory suit out by Prey, brought to you by Penn Station East
Coasta Now a Crosstown shootout memory from Byron Lark at my first Crosstown shootout as
a player. It was my freshman year, and I just I didn't quite
understand the intensity until it was uce week and it just seemed like everybody I
talked to, whether it was a student or a teacher or a friend,
they all were talking about it. So I quickly realized how important it was.
When we played that first year in the coliseum, the intensity it was
so thick. Two hours before the game, when we walked into the arena,
you could just feel the electricity in the air, and it was something
special and it was big time and something I'll always remember. Be listing for
the next Crosstown shootown memory on seven hundred WLW. Extra Cash coming right up.
