Before we look ahead, I look back at significant events and people tied
to this particular date in history, including but not limited to, these this
day in eighteen sixty three. This is a piece of our Civil War history
in this country that has not much talked about. There is deadly rioting against
the Civil War draft that erupted in New York City. Not everybody was gung
ho to kill their brother. It was put down three days later. So
that was July thirteenth, eighteen sixty three. And this date in nineteen twenty
three, a sign consisting of fifty foot tall letters spelling out Hollywood Land dedicated
in the Hollywood Hills. The land just fell off. It's just Hollywood now.
Those four letters were mooved in nineteen forty nine. The first FIFA World
Cup began in Uruguay and this date, nineteen thirty soccer fans this state.
Nineteen sixty, John F. Kennedy won the Democrat national nomination in the first
ballot at the party's convention nineteen seventy three. In this state, Former presidential
aid Alexander P. Butterfield revealed to the Senate Watergate Committee staffman members the existence
of President Richard Nixon's secret White House caping system. Oh Rosemary Woods in the
missing eighteen minutes, the suspected railroad killer surrendered in al Paso, Texas on
this day in nineteen ninety nine. Twenty thirteen, a jury in Florida cleared
Neighborhood Watch volunteer George Zimmerman of all charges in the shooting of Trayvon Martin.
New debates over self defense, equal justice, racial profiling, stand your ground.
Oh geez, there's the Russia hoax a grand jury indictment in twenty eighteen.

Want me long? About three weeks I get my teeth out and another
year of getting my crooked mouth. I should have a new mouth, though,
because after the all day running me three times, I got faith healed
and I got a new body, even though everyone in my body was broken.
How did you do that? Well? I was having pre surgery texts,
and I asked the little candy striper who's out on the door. Then
that's when I saw the name of the elevator hit me in the face three
times, and I walked off with the name branded in my face. And
then my dctors said, you shaw it when you gonna dine. He took
a picture and come back in two weeks. Oh you beautiful. I got
a picture. You have no scars, no marks on your face. I
said, I'll give me a copy, so my grandchildren then see other bella
cause. Then my head was on my shoulder for three days. And when
I got rid of surgery, I told the little nurse man from Grandada,
I said, stick my head on my neck, and he started laughing and
he picked my head off my shoulder and stuck it on my necker. I
said, now get me a neck brace, and he got me a neck
brace and two weeks for lail. The actray my neck was no signs of
it being broken, but first and second very grave was kind of mess.

Day Twas midnight on the ocean on a street car was in sight. The
sun was shining brightly in the middle of the night. There for boy with
shoes on stood there sitting in the tree. When I put my glasses on,
I heard this melody Baby, Somebody's Morning James in Morning Darling, how
it done? Do you have a new theme song since you didn't like the
old one? Are you listening to the lyrics, Dave? They fit you
perfectly? Oh? Well, in that case, we'll take two. The

see they're going they're going down in quality. You never have gotten grasp the
reality of what you need to do. If you're doing three jokes. Make
the first one the weakest one, and then the first one was great,
the second one kind of lacked a little bit. So let's finish strong,
Dave like an anvalent upon my friend, like an anvilent upon. Okay,
jud Jeff, I don't know. I don't know how you feel, but
Sundays they're kind of always a little sad, you know, really, yeah,

we deeply apologize. Now back to our irregular programming. Willy makes me
proud to be an American. Willy is here for you. When I listen

Monday at twelve noon on seven hundred w l W get lucky at Northern contil
W canim v those days where you're just not feeling it? I love being
here on Saturday. I've told you this countless times, and I mean it.
I mean I look forward to coming to work when it's Saturday morning.
I've been doing this now for We've been doing this together. Many of you
have been along for the entire ride for over twenty seven years into our twenty
eighth year, and it is just my pride and joy. It is the
source of much amusement. I get to talk to all these funny and wise
people, and this morning all I wanted to do was stay in bed.
You have you have days like that? Oh you got to Oh, let's
see what's on the table for old radio Rick this morning. Hello old Radio
Rick, Good morning Gary, Jeff. Hey, Sorry you're not feeling it,
but we all have those days. No, I mean I don't feel
bad physically, I just mentally, I'm just not there. I'm just like
ready to check out at any minute. And called you President, putin miss
or start or start shit? You shouting out to the vice president Trump this
morning. It's good to know you were thinking of her. Yeah, I
mean, and he wouldn't have he wouldn't have picked her Trump if she wasn't
capable of being president. And for anybody that doesn't hear the quote, you're
probably very confused right now. Well, I think everybody knows now. I
was gonna say, look it up, kids, So how are you receiving
us? What are you receiving us on this morning? Tell me about this
lovely gem of a radio that you're working with. Well, it is a
lovely gem. Unfortunately it's not feeling it either, So I'm giving it about
a four x three. Oh. This is a nineteen thirty eight Emerson.
It's referred to as the Little Miracle, and that's not a bad name because
it is a miracle. This thing didn't catch fire given all the very hot
parts they jammed into a very small cabinet. Actually, Emerson radios were pretty
good. This is a basic AM Super nine five tube again from nineteen thirty
eight. It's in a bake l like cabinet that they I'm going to say
painted, but I'm not sure that's accurate, to make it look like walnut,
and somehow that became the cheapest offering. And this couldn't have been easy.
And I mean usually when they paint either typically a bake light cabinet,
which is the joke I always make that it's big light's available three colors black,
darker black, and slightly darker black light. This one does have a
walnut color in some semblance of a grain to it, and I mean it
is beautiful. There's no peeling, there's no scratching on it. Of course,
it's in very good condition anyway, but not exactly sure how they achieved
it. And it could also be that it's not actually bake light. Sometimes
they took some some variations and definitions in the catalog descriptions and so forth.
But anyway, you say it's a basic five tube radio, but it nine
dollars and ninety five cents then, which is two hundred and twenty five bucks
today and for a radio that was cheap and again tiny. But hey,
let's go to the catalog, shall we. Oh, it's always my favorite
part. First of all, it has the miracle tone chamber. I'm reading
upside down, so this is a little difficult. But designed on the acoustic
principles of the human voice. Well, I didn't realize we had a dynamic
speaker in a bake light cabinet, but apparently it's the same thing moving along
five tube superheterodyne with seven tube performance. I have no idea how they got
there. I might give them six but no American broadcasts and police calls,
which means it's an AM radio and beam power tube. Now that sounds impressive,
right, Yeah, Well that means it has an audio amplifier and good
luck getting a speaker to work with that one. It's not really a feature,
that's a necessity. And lastly, built in antenna stopped. Now built
an antenna like a loop intent or something in nineteen thirty eight, that's impressive.
I don't know they're built an antenna is We've attached a long wire for
you so you can just unlined it and run it around the room to pick
up stations. I did triple check to make sure that was original one.
So why only four by three? Oh? It's well. For one thing,
I think the eye hoster is being sad to us. And number two,
it's apparently the built an antenna may be a little bit short on this
one. I'm to extend it. But yeah, the as far as the
volume goes, given the design, it's not going to get much louder than
it is. And it's not that sensitive or radio. But that's okay.
It was. It was relatively cheap in those days. But I do have
to close with the for every purpose and every purse, Emerson man, every
purpose and every purse. Yes, now the purposes living room, bedroom,
kitchen, children's room, guest room, office. Okay, so far,
so good. But then ideal gift, Well that's not bad. Hospital room,
well, okay, if they let you have it, that's fine.
Traveling only if you want to take it to a hotel room. I get
it. And then camping in nineteen thirty eight, how many campsites had an
AC outlet to plug a radio into. This is not a bad real that's
a good point. All right, man, We're going to need a longer
extension cord Bob and a longer antenna apparently old radio Rick at gmail dot com.
If you'd like to get in touch with mister Washburn, it's twenty minutes
after. When do you like to listen to this? I like to listen
when my boss is having another one of his moods. He's always having a
mood. I do not have moods, all right. I listened for Slowney's
common sense. I like the way you think he's so full of common sense.
I bet he leaves little puddles of it when he sits. Do you
really I want Slooney twenty four hours a day, dope? I guess anytime
is the right time for Sloaney. Everyone knows that. Scott's loan Monday morning

of sports this morning? With f C Cincinnati's win over Inner Miami last Saturday,
guy drilled them was six to one. Yes, they put it on
him even though inter Miami was out with That was without Lionel Messi, who
is arguably the greatest soccer player of all time in the world, and Luis
Suarez. It doesn't matter. F C Cincinnati is in first place, in
the control of the supporter shield and control of their own destiny for the rest
of the season, and they look to continue their lead first place. F
C Cincinnati is back on the road against Charlotte. Pregame coverage begins at seven,
first opening kick is at seven forty, and you can listen to that
game on ESPN fifteen thirty. How about that rook for the Reds, Reese
Hines, a grand Salami last night in the win over Miami. Reese Hines
is having a week that only one player in MLB history has had, and
that is Willie Mays. I know it's the new say hey kid, Willie
had to die for Reese to assume his his stab. But yeah, that's
that's just an incredible week and we can only hope that it continues. The
Reds win seven to four last night, and back at it with the Marlins

of little will you be well, i'd be what in Paris? No,
I won't. I won't be doing the reports from Paris, but we will
have reports on the air from Paris from the Olympic Games, mostly the solo
synchronized swimming. What is mystifying to me is how just the last couple of
weeks of the realization that Joe Biden isn't all there. It's like, this
is something I've known since before January of twenty twenty one, when he took
office. He has never been running the White House. He's never been in
charge. The only thing he has done to execute any of his executive power
is signing executive orders that somebody told him to sign. This sudden handringing,
like, oh my god, who's running the country. You could have asked
that question three and a half years ago, because it was never Joe,
And whether he is the figurehead or not really doesn't matter. If a Democrat
gets in. It's the same lousy policies that have taken this country down the
toilet. But just that, oh my god, he's not competent to it.
He never was, never was competent to run the country. I just
think it's funny and sad at the same time. Anyway, news on the
way and we'll talk to the gang in Ripley at Brookie Saloon in just minutes.
Here's what's trending from the Iheartsports Network presented by Draft Kings Fantasy Sports.

backup cook? Who is the cook now? Daming? Okay? All right,

who is celebrating his birthday to day. My friend Scott Schneider asked me if
I'd mentioned that, and I'm doing it again. Happy birthday, Steve Krebs.
He's a great guy. He's been to the bar, he's been to
our anniversary parties, and uh, just a just a wonderful, wonderful guy
who happens to like this us, even me, So I hope it is
the best day possible, mister Crabs for you. Another Steve was on the
line at Steve for Mettna with a pistyphone calling news of the week. Good
morning, good morning, Good morning Gary, Jeff. Hey. I want
to thank Rob who is now living in Knoxville, Tennessee. Goballs, formerly
South Florida, wrote me a very nice card a couple of weeks ago,
and I had a long conversation earlier this week with mister Tuba who came through
and played Happy Birthday for Becky on her eightieth Great guy, wonderful background there.
Let's just get started with the news of the week. I know Joe
Biden was the first US Senator to support the candidacy of Jimmy Carter for president.
Those two seem to go together. That was fifty years ago. Jimmy,
at age ninety nine, is doing nicely apparently in hospice care in Georgia.
He's been in hospice for a year and a half. That must be
a record. And Joe, who's gone way too far for hospice care,
is breathing intermittently in Washington, d C. So amidst all this craziness of
whether Joe should be the nominee. I emailed Jimmy at jimmyopeanut dot com and
ask him what the hell was really going on in the Socialist Democrat Party.
He is amazingly spry and full of that old, sometimes off color Baptist's sense
of humor that we loved so much when he was president, he said.
The move to dump Joe began last winter when the Secret Service spotted some writing
in the snow outside Joe and Jill's White House bedroom window. Someone had donated
a urine script spelling Joe must go. Suspecting this was a Trump inspired assassination
plot, the Palace guards took a sample of that DNA in the snow,
and it turned out to be George Clooney's Who's sure enough has turned out to
be a Biden hater since George's wife is a Muslim lawyer. I didn't know
that, and Biden supports Israel on alternate Tuesdays. More interestingly, though,
was the examination of the handwriting. It was Hillary Clinton's. Wow, Jimmy
had me gone there, but I'm sure he was pulling my leg. I
don't really think that happened. Then he got serious, he says, Joe
is indeed in bad shape, which is a shock to most Democrats. Jimmy
says, when he was recently at the White House, Joe's nurse asked Biden
if he was ready to go number two. Biden misunderstood and thought she meant
whether he wanted to be Commy Harris's vice presidential running mate. Wow, Jimmy
now calls Joe the antenna president. He just doesn't get all the channels.
I decided to dig deeper. I found a disgruntled a doctor Fauci hiding out
in Argentina at doctor Mangele's former estate. He says, doctor Jill in quotes,
actually thinks she is a doctor since Whoopy Goldberg Goldberg on the View said
she'd make a great surgeon general. Remember that one. My god, Doctor
Jill gives Joe an inoculation for everything. He falls off his tricycle, he
gets a jab, he falls off the toilet. It's hello Phizor again.
Fauci blames Trump for starting this inoculation craze. He says, Trump's not a
doctor. I am five maybe six injections are tops. That's good medicine.
It's the science. But now Jill's gone, goofy. I got Joe's brought
blood pressure down to one hundred and fifty over eighty. She says it should
be getting down to zero. That really worries me. Oh, some would
say zero for Joe sounds good. Corn John Pierre Lepew says Joe doesn't need
a cognitive test to see if he, oh, let's say, knows the
definition of a woman. Heck, we put that patient on the Supreme Court.
Recently reminds me of the Major League baseball incident where Nutty Dizzy Dean of
the Cardinals got hit in the head with a baseball. The next day,
the sports headline was Dizzy knocked unconscious. X rays show nothing. All this
stuff about Joe must be must just be much to do about nothing. He's
always been, as you pointed out, Gary, Jeff, a little goofy.
But the Democrat Convention is coming up soon in Chicago, where we can
assume everything will be peaceful and above board, just as it was in nineteen
sixty eight. You know how we crack wise about com con conventions, renaissance
revivals, star Wars, and Harry Potter get togethers. You can forget all
those. The new meat for satirists will be the Socialist Democrats of twenty twenty
four. I can't wait to see Joe perform before the home crowd. I've
heard that when his neurologist tells him to turn his head and cough, Joe
turns all the way around and costs in his face. Well, Doc,
you have to make sacrifices for your country. Ask the relatives of those guys
who died at the airport in Afghanistan. We all have to make sacrifices.
Joe could always resign before the convention. Can you just imagine all the fortune
five hundred companies that are crashing their computers trying to get a hold of Joe
for one, with all that experience flying all over the world for fifty years,
especially China and Ukraine while he was vice president and Hunter was horror hunting,
I'm thinking Boeing would love to have Joe as a test pilot. Or
does that just be wishful thinking? As the old song says, where has
the love gone? Word is doctor Jill has put a do not resuscitate sign
on the basement door this time around. It's truly sad seeing our greatest politicians
fall down the basement steps and nine to one pint one just puts them on
hold. And then there was Joe in nineteen eighty seven, all handsome and
his new hair plugs, at least until he pushed things and rubbed in some
roundup to encourage more sprouts. At least he consume Monsanto for causing a mushy
brain. And with the bidens, it's all about money. But it's not
over yet. Joe's new heat wave program is an executive order mandating all female
government employees working the nude naked except for COVID masks. A national nudist group,
however, has filed a lawsuit under Title nines Provisions for sports teams.
The organization calls all this by Biden an attempt to trans to nudist colony volleyball
leagues by folks not truly interested in nudism or volleyball, to use the term
loved by sports announcers. I called this bad physicality. That's it for me,
donaked amigos, peacefully and patriotically. Thank you Steve from ETNA checking in
great as always, and he summed up the week and what's going on.
I think very very well. The only answer really for the Democrats is to
put Hillary Clinton in charge of Joe's palliative care. The Clintons know how to
take care of people. He speak Joe Staysniak the buck Eye buldozer for your
trusted local, independent American standard heating and air Conditioning dealer ed Brun Heating and
air Conditioning. In the morning, I didn't have to get up early for
anything, and it was Wednesday or Thursday morning. You go, are there
a lot of Gary Jeff haters out there? And I said, well,
yeah, potentially. I've been doing this for a while. I am a
public person after all, and not everybody universally loves me, so I guess
there are some. Why and Liam, what'd you tell me? You told
me that you got docs. Actually you got swatted at your home by Kenton
County Police. Is that correct? Well, they the police did not swap
me. No, the police were Someone said that you were a disgruntled transgender
student at Simon Kenton High School and you were going to shoot up the school.
Yeah. I mean I've been gaining weight, I guess, and I've
been growing my hair, so I don't know. I guess people where people
might be thinking I'm transitioning. My dad, I heard that Liam. You
know when you hear your dad say your name in a certain way and he's
like, are you transitioning? Are you changing your name to Leah? Are
you planning to commit that crime? And I was like, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't think I'm transitioning. And I
mean, I work with kids my other job. I mean, that's just
not who Like, that's just not I don't give off that vibe at all.
But I guess you can't really tell when someone does give off that vibe.
But so what you're what we're thinking is that maybe I don't know.
I still think it's a disgruntled girlfriend that you've left in your wake, or
something else there locally in your community. Well, not necessarily associated with the
radio. Could be to my mom as a kid, one day we came
back from a vacation, someone reworked our events and tried to fill our house
the carbon monoxide. So there's been a couple like someone tried to burn down
my house when I was in high school. So it could be a couple
of things. Well, I mean, but your instant go to was me.
It was because of me that you were being swatted. It could because
of Mike Allen too, and you know what has a lot of haters too.
I would look there first. Steve Shulty on the other side of news.
As we continue on a Saturday morning together on seven hundred WLW, don't
let's spring allergies make you miserable. Try the quick drug free solution. Starting
off this morning right around that seventy degree mark. But we are going to
warm up quickly yet again. It's going to be in the low nineties,
feeling like the mid to upper nineties at times, with mostly sunny skies.
Expect a few chances for some pop up showers and downpours though through the afternoon.
For mist of your station, I'm nine First Warning Meteorologist Cameron Harten on
News Radio seven hundred WLW. Patchy and some dense fog this morning, but
it should burn off soon. Right now in Cincinnati, it's seventy one degrees.
Radar is clear. Next updates at eight thirty on News Radio seven hundred
WLW News twenty four hours a day, News Radio seven hundred WLW. Jeff
Wellernissan dot Com into yet another hour of this Saturday morning edition for Saturday,
July thirteenth, twenty twenty four. I'm Gary Jeff Walker, and I am
dictator from day one. Know what that means. I'm sitting here getting ready
to bring our friend Michael on the air for Science Mike segment, and as
always, I have absolutely no idea what he's going to talk about or burn
up because we don't plan or plot any of this. So let's find out.
Yes, as a night scientist, surprising now binding me, Michael,
what is going on? Well that makes two of us, Gary Joe.
Okay, but uhre before we get to the topic tonight for you young people
after if you want to stay up late, a good and a good oculation
tonight? Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa? What kind of language are you
using here on the radio? This is a family show. I'm sorry,
I mean let me, I mean breaking out, breaking out the oculation?
What is the great oculation tonight? Well, you know, we had the
solar eclipse and and a time for lies. Yeah, and uh, April
it's not a big deal. Huh what do you say? April eighth?
Yeah? Was it? And the well tonight is not really a big deal.
But the moon it's a waxing moon tonight, and so tonight the spike,
which is a very bright star in the sky, so it's like sounth
go up about thirty or forty degrees and you'll see around eleven fifteen nights,
the moon will be moving and actually the dark side of the moon, which
because we're waxing, will be the left side the moon will actually the spiker
will disappear behind the moon, and the moon will disappear behind the moon.
The spike of the star will go behind them, the moon will go in
front of Skiah and then you'll bill disappear, and then around twelve thirty it'll
it'll reappear and just one of those things. It's not a big sky event,
but it's just a true it's still pretty cool and it's going to be
clear. I think it's clear enough to see it. We don't shouldn't have
a whole lot of cloud cover tonight. What time would this be? Around
eleven fifteen eleven fifth? Let me write that down, make a note of
that so I can pull myself up out of my share, so you can
so you can oculate. I want to. I want to oculate in public.
What do you got, Michael, we got get you know what I
think? Big discussion lately forever chemicals, which are chemicals obviously that don't really
going because organic material. Yeah, and uh, well now we found a
bigger source of them now. And actually the chemical name for fever chemicals is
probably floral apple. And they're they're they're like they're compounds that these are actually
made. Companies make these compounds for lithium batteries and they help keep the lithium
battery from catching fire and uh things like that. Well, now they found
large concentrations of this chemical in the ground water and soil around plants that actually
make make this chemical for the for the lithium battery industry. And also now
that's finding them and the you know ground where they deep. So you know,
here's amazing thing I never knew batteries. Look at batteries, only five
percent of them get recycled. And in twenty forty there's going to be like
eight million tons of unrecycled, unrecycled likum waste batteries. And they when they
throw them in the into the just throw them away that this this chemical leashes
out and goes into the into the ground water, and yeah, it's got
you know this the sink that the saint, the clean ev ev world everybody
portrays. So just just another hazard that we're going to have to face for
trying to be uh you know, cleaner environment per se. Well, you
know it's it's not it's not the e p A. It's the e EDA,
the Environmental Destruction Agency. And these people who are climate cultists are going
to wind up doing nothing but ruining the earth as a matter of their mania.
And it's all fueled by a desperate need to celebrate man instead of understanding
the gods in control. And a great way to move some money around.
But there you go. Okay, I'm going to look for the waxing moon
tonight. Are happy oculation tonight, Carrie Job. I'm going to look for
the waxing moon as I oculated in public in my neighborhood. Thank you science.

the way through. It is sixty nine now seven hundred WLW stop. Always
like to be positive wherever possible on this program. In one of the ways
which we attempt to do that is bringing you the Word of God and to
help me out with that brother Rick Green is standing by. I'm gonna let
it shine. I'm going let it shine. Miss I'm going let it shine.
It shine, it shine shine. Yeah, Brother Rick Green, spare
work, Cincinnati. How you doing, my friend? Good morning, Gary,
Jeff. I walk up praying for you and your listeners. It's a
beautiful day. We have somebody to add to the prayer list, and I
wanted to do I got an email from a listener, Matt, Matt Houston.
I guess it's okay for me to say his name. Uh. Anyway,
Matt had a request and his request was for his father in law.
He said, my name is Matt. I listened to you every Saturday morning.
I was hoping you would say a prayer for my father in law.
Next Tuesday, he goes in for surgery to remove a cancero's tumor on the
side of his face. More than seven hours of surgery performed at you See
Cancer Center. After that he has proton therapy and a long road to recovery.
Maybe passed this along to Rick Green. We need all the prayers we
can get, and right now in my life I don't have any close friends.
Well, you always have a friend in Jesus, Matt and you have
a friend in us, and thank you for listening. And we're gonna pray
Rick. We're going to pray for Dan and focus those prayers on next Tuesday,
but we can always do it right now. So praying for Dan tb
fully healed in Jesus' name, and Tuesday, God's hands will be controlling the
surgeon's hands. Let's just let's believe that and commit that. And anybody else
wants to pray for Dan and his cancer surgery, we put it out there.
So anyway, he's going to be in my prayer list every day because
I know a God that can fix and can settle and can solve anything.
Amen. Amen. So what have you got for us this morning, my
friend? Well, today we come from Second Chronicle, chapter fifteen, verse
seven. It says, but as for you, be strong, do not
give up, or your work will be rewarded. Amen. I love the
Word of God because when I read it, there's no doubt I take it
exactly how it's written. Amen. And that's that's a great encouragement, especially
now, because it's so easy to get beaten down and to not see the
tangible results of the work that you think should be done. It's being done.
Whether it's whether it's in our timeline or not, it's being done.
All right, Rick, Well, we're I'm all the trickery India losions by
the enemy. Just stay focused. There you go, Well, listen,
I'll see you a little bit later on this morning. All right, okay,

difficult names to pronounce for anybody. Moegger says. It's It's like the one
thing that you don't want to have to do is try and pronounce the names

tomorrow Djokovic going for another one. Yeah, Djokovic and Carlos Alcarez, two
of the biggest stars in tennis. It's a must watch event Wimbledon, one
of the four Grand Slams the history of Wimbledon. I'm excited. I think
it should be an awesome match. Last year Carlos topped them in the Wimbledon
Championship, so it's a rematch, you know. I think I'm gonna get
some berries and cream for tomorrow morning to watch the finality of the fortnight come
to Fruition, maybe some champagne too, and breakfast at Wimbledon the right way.
Guess how much tickets are for the Championship. I have no idea ten
thousand dollars. That's why I'm not there. Dave Keaton might be dead.
I mean, Dave Keaton loves tennis, which never made a lot of sense
to me, but anyway, I digress. There's also both the YUEIFA and

Enter Miami that put him at number one. Tell me about that game tonight,
SC Cincinnati. Kickoff is at seven forty pregame coverage against A seven.
Listen to that game on ESPN fifteen thirty. Now kickoff? Would that be
first kick, opening kick, first pitch on the pitch? Say twenty five?
Sounded to reiterate something that I brought up in the first hour of the
show today. I'm constantly amazed that people are amazed at Joe Biden's cognitive decline.
They hit him in the basement, and the media allowed him to hide
in the basement when he was running in twenty twenty, the first time he
was a gaff machine. Then it's only gotten worse because any kind of dimension,
any kind of degenerative disease, it's a degenerative disease because it does not
get better. And now we've reached the point where he's calling Kamala Harris vice
President Trump, and he's calling Vladimir Putin the president of Ukraine, which he
may not be actually far from, depending on how things go in the next
few months. But all these calls for him to step down or not run.
Nobody was concerned before, and they all knew. The mainstream media knew,
our news department knew, but they didn't say anything about Joe Biden being
off his bird. This is nothing new. It's just gotten so bad no
one can ignore it anymore. Personally, I hope he stays in the race
because that campaign with Donald Trump attacking Joe Biden, it wouldn't be like shooting
fish and be like watching fish in a barrel. Anyway, We've got gifts

Good Morning Kids, Time for gifts from Wally. Hungry for some fast food

of the road by this blur. Is what was that? Well, he
looks up ahead and the blur has stopped, and the blur was a chicken.
Now, not just any chicken, a three legged chicken. I've never
seen a three legged chicken. Man. That thing was fast. So the
chicken has stopped at this driveway to a farmhouse, and the chicken darts darts
up the driveway. The guy turns. He said, I've got to ask
this farmer about this chicken. I've never seen a three legged chicken. He
gets up to the farmhouse and the farmer's out there and the chickens are around
it. He's got a bunch of three legged chickens. Guy said, those
your chickens said, yeap bred and myself. We uh we uh. We
worked hard on it, but we are able to develop these three legged chickens
said well, why would you do that? He said, well, I
like drumsticks, Ma likes drumsticks, and John the next door never likes drum

I go. If you don't like it, and if you don't like
it, then don't listen. The other question I wanted to ask you is
if you were not doing what you're doing now for a living, you were
not doing sports on the radio and sports talk and you know, play by
play, whatever you get to do on the air, what do you think
you would be doing? Would you be doing something sports related? I understand
that EA Sports needs someone who can spell Cincinnati in their marketing Department twelve,
yeah, and the Big twelve. So I mean, I could be a
speller. I was a good speller if I wasn't on the radio doing things.
If there was a call for such things, and maybe it was an
ai misspell, who knows, But what would you be doing? What would
Moegger be doing if he weren't doing sports on the radio. I hadn't given
that a lot of thought in quite a while. When I went to college,
I minored in political science because I thought, if broadcasting doesn't work out,
and one could very successfully argue that it hasn't, but if broadcasting doesn't
work out, I thought it would be fun to work on political campaigns,
understanding what politics has turned into in the quarter century since I graduated from the
University of Dayton. I know, damn well, I would not be working
on political campaigns. So uh, I don't know. I mean, I
I would like to think that there would be some whatever I would be doing
would be touched with touch sports somehow. But yeah, that's that's a good
question, and it's one that I should think about given the somewhat sickle nature
of our business. But I I don't know, There's there's nothing else that's
really interested me as much as as broadcasting. At this point, conned,
you're condemned to retire in radio. I mean, you've been at it long
and I'm sorry, there's no way out now. It's like being a member
of the mafia at this point for you. MO. I mean, once
I passed, Once I passed the like twenty five year mark, it was
like, now this is what I'm doing, I guess. And now now
I've added bartending along with the package, and I enjoy that. That's fun
and you get to interact with a lot of people, obviously maybe not at
their best moments, but you do. And uh so, I mean that's
what. But I knew probably ten years into my career I would be doing
this as long as someone would let me. So yeah, I would agree,
you know, but some of us retire from radio. Many of us
have radio retires, So you're right. I hope I'm the former and not
the latter. Exactly. To be able to pick your to be able to
pick your spots and go out on your terms is always kind of like the
goal. And I'm with you. So this is a huge This is actually
a huge international sports weekend. I mean, we think about the All Star
Game coming up, the break coming up with the home run Derby on Monday
and the like, and will of course be covering that we're airing the game
on Tuesday night. I found out last week because of La de la Cruz
being part of the National League Club and also now Hunter Green is going to
be on the All Star roster. David Bell is going and so I'm excited
about that. But internationally, if you go to the All England Tennis Club
this weekend for the men's and women's finals, the women's are just about fifteen
minutes away, they'll be on center court at Wimbledon, and then the UEFA
and the COPA Soccer Championships are both tomorrow. Any comments on any of that.
Wimbledon is awesome. I think I've said this to you before. In
twenty twelve, I decided I was I was going to cross a sports bucket
list item off my list. Almost every year. That pace has slowed since
I became a dad, but I've I've done a lot. The next one
on my list is Wimbledon, and it feels like there's you know, after
years and years and years of trying to figure out who was going to emerge
from you know, the pack of of Feda and Gahal and Djokovic. Obviously,
Yovak Djokovic is competing in the in the final, but you know who's
next and I think we know obviously with Carlos Alcaaz. I'll tell you what,
though, there's an American men's player who I am really excited about.
He's a young man that I actually had a chance to interview last year at
what is now the Cincinnati Open and Mason, and that's Ben Shelton. Who
got to Did he get to the front. He got the third round and
then he lost to the top seed, but he was very competitive. This
dude's going to be really, really good, and he's charismatic and he'll talk
a little trash, but he's got a game that could back it up.
And so you know that the event in Mason is coming up in about a
month, and so if you are going, I assume that Ben's going to
be there because last year he competed in both doubles and singles. Go see
him. Because one of the topics we visit all the time whenever tennis comes
up is who's going to carry the flag for the United States? And it's
been so long, at least on the men's side, that there's been a
player who can catch everybody's imagination. Ben Shelton might be that guy. Liam
was struggling trying to pronounce the names of the ladies that are participating in the
women's finals today, and you and I have talked about how difficult some some
foreign tennis players' names are. Do you know anything about the pairing in center
court today on the ladies' side, I really don't. I really don't.
But I've said this to you before. I can empathize with Liam because when
I did sports on Jim Scott Show, my least favorite week of the year
was the Western and Southern Open, not because I don't love it, because
it is a great event, but reading those names awful. Thankfully, I
don't really have to do that anymore, I guess, but no, I
don't, And I think on the women's side there's been a little bit of
a post Serena lull where there's obviously great players and obviously great tennis, but
for casual fans like myself, there's no one I hate to save this whose
backstory or whose profile has captured my imagination to the degree that I know a
ton about them, but I am looking forward to watching this one. We
both had our chance to remember Jim Scott in sending him off. But you
and I never talked about Jim. And I know that you were his producer
for many years when you when you first started, and and you were here,
and and I got to relate my story on how I got to bleep
you out of Jim Scott once. You know that story, right, I
do? Yeah, yeah, any any one little thing that maybe you didn't
share or you have and want to share again about delate Jim Scott. Well,
when you're his producer and you aren't good at getting to work on time,
you get a lot of bleep use from Jim Scott. So I might
have set the record for for the person who got the most bleep us from
Jim Scott over the years, you know, I mean, I've talked.
I talked a lot about Jim on on my show, sure on social media
a little bit when we found out that he passed. My first full time
job was working with Jim and and I think the thing more than anything else
that I didn't appreciate at the time, but but I certainly do now is
you know, they they threw me in there with him, and you know,
I've I got to know you a little bit during this time as well.
But they threw me in there with him. I was twenty years old.
I didn't know anything, and and it was, Hey, you're gonna
work with Jim, and okay, and it was you know, you're gonna
produce, You're you're gonna you know, you're you're gonna come up with ideas,
and you're gonna book guests, and I mean, you're you're gonna you're
gonna be really heavily involved. And there was no reason for this man,
who you know, even by then was already a legend, to give a
riff about me. And and what stands out to me now was how interested
he was in my ideas and what my thoughts were. And he asked what
my input was whatever we were doing. And that's you know, that's how
you make someone feel like they're a part of the team. And and you
know, Jim instantly made me feel like I was a peer when I clearly
was not. And I don't know that anybody else does that. I don't
do that, but Jim had a way of you know, I've told the
story, I think on your show when he won the Marconia Ward, he
took Rich Walberg and I out to Seattle and he was the only winner who
brought anybody up on stage and he talked about Rich and I for five minutes.
Yeah, I mean, who does that? So you know, just
he really from the get go made me feel like I belonged. And when
you're a kid and you know this is the business you want to be in,
and somebody like that accepts you and makes you feel like you're a part
of his show and a part of the team and a part of his success,
it's really empowering and it really gives you confidence. And I didn't appreciate
that at the time. Man, I do now. Liam. I hope
you're listening. I hope you heard all of that and understand how much you're
going to miss me when I'm gone. Thank you. So no, Uh,
the last thing is where the hell did Reese Hines come from? I
mean, you want to talk about just a mid season surprise dumped in your
lap and going you know, of all the surprises that have happened with the
Reds this year, this is probably the best one. It's remarkable. You
know I said this yesterday. If you go back, you know, I'm
on the air Monday afternoon, right, Yeah, and the Reds had just
been swept by the Detroit Tigers, and there was so much on Monday to
discuss, from you know, the contact play and how they lost on Friday.
They're taking Hunter Green out of the game after seven innings on on Saturday,
to just getting swept by Detroit, after going to New York and sweeping
the Yankees, to the trade that they made late Sunday night acquiring Austin Slater,
to wondering what the roster move was going to be with Graham ashtrak oh
And by the way, they called up Ree Hines and we we mentioned it,
but it was buried amid all this other stuff that just seemed more important.
And then within two days he's the most talked about person in baseball.
I think a lot of people you will hear make the comparison to Aristidius Aquino,
who, if you recall five years ago, gets caught up in August
and hits fourteen home runs and then proceeds can never really do anything again.
I understand the comparison from a pure baseball perspective, because Reese Hines is a
guy who obviously has some power. He also strikes out a lot. But
Air stateyz Achino got called up and it kind of felt like, all right,
we're going to give this dude the chance. If it doesn't work,
he's done. I think resigns. They truly think can be a part of
what this team is moving forward. Now, what's that role going to be
specifically? I guess they're The coming weeks and months may play a big role
in determining that. But he is a guy that I you know, he's
been ranked among their top ten to fifteen prospects for a while now. I
talked with an evaluator yesterday because the MLB Draft is tomorrow night, and I
said, all right, you know, tell me about Rheess Huns. What
are you thinking. He goes, well, look, the bottom is going
to fall out, because how could it not. The league's going to catch
up to him. He is going to strike out a lot. But what
you cannot deny is there is a power profile that you have already started to
see, and we saw it again last night. It's been a lot of
fun and it's been reinvigorating. It also when we talked about this yesterday a
little bit too. It goes to show that you can't necessarily look at minor
league statistics, you know. Are they an indicator of what a player might
be at the big league level, of course, but they're not always the
only indicator. And if you saw Resigns about in two sixteen and Louisville and
we're sort of skeptical that he should be here at the big league level,
he has dumps cold water over all of that skepticism. Yeah, I'm just
living off the energy of being here. Maybe that's be part of that as
well. Listen, have a fantastic weekend and enjoy what you doing. Any
golf this weekend? I uh know, I'm going to take the family to
the ballgame tomorrow and keep the sticks in my garage. All right, man,
have a great one. That's Moeger and Mike Allen is here, counselor
what's on the program today? What's up? Man? I don't know,
there's really not too much to talk about. There's nothing going on. Oh
man, I just gonna talk about Biden's big boy press conference, and I
don't think it changes anything. Gary, Jeff, I want him to be
the nominee. I don't know that he will. I think the cries for
him to get out will continue to grow, especially when he makes his next
gaff, whenever that may be. At ten o'clock, we're going to talk
to Janisizel. Of course, she's the reporter from the Epoch Times assigned to
the Trump campaign. Trump today is in Butler, Pennsylvania for a rally,
and of course the Republican Convention starts Monday. She will be there. We're
gonna get a preview of that with her excellent after the show show at the
bar there at six twenty eight Mama Street. It's gonna be hot. Come
on in our air conditioner works. The beer is cold, and these screens
are big h slinging drinks for Hillbillies and others. As I like to say,
seven hundred WLW, two guys, five riggs. Yes,
