enough. As we open up on this Saturday morning, the first of the
new year, Gary Jeff Walker, checking in, sitting down and getting ready
to look ahead. Before we do, though, we'll look back at significant
events and people tied to this particular data in history, including but not limited
to these. Eighteen thirty eight, Samuel Morris and Alfred Vale gave the first
successful public demonstration of their telegraph in Morristown, New Jersey. Dot dot dash
dash, and you know this state. In nineteen twelve, Mexico, New
Mexico became the forty seventh state. It's possibly going to become the new state
in Mexico. Maybe they'll just take it back the way things are going on
our southern border. Who knows. Nineteen forty one FDR, in his State
of the Union address, outlined a goal of four freedoms. Freedom of speech
and expression, the freedom of people to worship God in their own way,
freedom for want, freedom from fear. At least two of those are good
things for the government to keep an eye on year round. Daylight savings time
began the United States on a trial basis in nineteen seventy four, part of
a fuel saving measure and response to the Opecker's oil embargo. We need to
try that experiment again, just because it makes sense. On January sixth,
nineteen eighty two, the truck driver William Boonen convicted in Los Angeles of ten
of the freeway killer slains of young men and boys, later convicted of four
other killings executed in nineteen ninety six. No longer breathing our air? This
is the why me date. January sixth, nineteen ninety four, figure skater
Nancy Kerrigan clubbed in the leg by an assailant at Detroit's Cobo Arena. It
wound up being the ex husband of Krigan's rival, Tanya Harding. They went
to prison for their roles in the attack, and Harding pleaded guilty to conspiracy.
Why me remember sitting watch watching her sitting there in the ice? All
right? Two thousand and one, and a unique turn of events, Vice
President Al Gore, presiding in his capacity as President of the Senate Congress,
formerly certified his rival George W. Bush, the winner of the bitterly contested
and denied by Democrats two thousand presidential election. On January sixth, twenty twenty
one. Three years ago, today, an unarmed Air Force veteran, a
mother, Ashley Babbitt, murdered in cold blood by a Capitol police officer simply
for being inside the Capitol at the so called insurrection. Folks celebrating birthdays today
Joey Miskillin of Writers in the Sky, former FBI director Lewis free Jet,
Williams, Rowan Atkinson, World Golf Hall of Famer, Nancy Lopez sixty seven
today, Scott Brice singer Kathy Sledge Nigella Lawson has a birthday today. Reed
Drummond, you know, I'm happily married, but you know, if things
were different and I could do something with her husband, I would marry Reed
Drummond in a heartbeat, the food blogger, TV person and Julie Chen has
a birthday to day. Danny Pintaro, who's the Boss Fame, former NBA
star Gilbert Arenas is forty two, and Kate McKinnon has a birthday to day.
If it's your birthday, oh, it's the best birthday you could possibly
imagine. And you get to spend it with the people you love, doing
the things you love to do. That is truly my wish for you.
It's five forty two Sports and weather coming up on seven hundred WLW. This
morning at nine, Mike Allen bites the latest wave of ridiculousness with karate like
discipline on seven hundred WLW. Are you a business owner, CEO or responsible
for marketing? If you are, I heard media can help you reach your
goals and find new customers. We've own out there are no expected accumulations around
the I mean they say as much as an inch and maybe in some extreme
cases two inches, but nothing that should restrict your movement. Maybe just a
nuisance, not a shoveler, just annoying for people who don't like snow.
I personally welcome the first snow of the year with open arms as I sit
and look out the window at the snow globe outside. Five one, three,
seven four nine, seven thousand and lovely lady Lynette is right on time
baby. How you doing, Lynette? Good morning, darling? You sound
well? Is everything good? Yeah? I got my phone working. I
can hear this and you sound absolutely wonderful. Thanks to Nick. Like nurses,
he got me going. Their phone wouldn't work, so we had to
go back to mind. So what exactly what did Nick do? He down
my phone, I can't read to all. Yeah, well that's wonderful.
That's absolutely the best news I've heard so far this morning. But we're only
about twenty minutes into the show, so it could get better. I don't
know. I want to sing a short verstap. I need just a little
more Jesus. I need just a little more Jesus I need. I knew
the more Jesus help me on my way. I need just a little more
Jesus. I need just a little more Jesus. I need just a little
more Jesus help me. Well, we all need a little bit more Jesus.
Absolutely, you know, Gary, Jeff, I just realized it's been
twenty seven years since I first told you about the tomato and the corn shuck?
Remember that first call. I don't know if it's been twenty seven I've
only been doing this for about twenty seven years on this on this on this
station at this time, so it's it's been a it's been a good twenty
five twenty six years anyway, So what was what do you remember about that
conversation, Lynette? I asked, do you have could I grow tomatoes without
soul? And you said no? And I said, yeah, and you
know, I told you how I did it, and it grew a long,
tild tomato and corn checks and water and green bean can. Good.
So you grew tomatoes in a green bean can with corn shucks and water.
That's I think that's called I think that's called hydroponics. Well, anyway,
I did that, and one day I was having a green day and a
heart snap, I broke my tomato and hab it was so tall, like
a corn chuck, I mean a stock of corns, and uh it smelled
like corns the tomato. And I grabbed it and stuck it back in the
ground and it kept growing. Did you ever get any Did you ever get
any tomatoes off of it? Yeah? Little it was little cherry tomatoes.
Yep, Tommy jes as we used to call him. Yeah, we used
to get them off the fence lines on Locus Street in Warsaw. But I
just realized, I remember, I guess the old man when who was able
to grow red and yellow cherry tomatoes. Yeah, on ground that grew to
the fence line and every year they grew out. So it's kid's big God
then eat hands. Yeah, it's like it's like candy off the vine.
I love those. I love those. Listen, dear, I love you
too. Well. We gotta we gotta run along, all right, go.
I love you. The lovely Lady Lynette Dick's hanging next our Saturday at
snow for the morning and then a cloudy afternoon. We'll see a one to
two inch snowfall, a high at thirty eight, and then at night partly
cloudy, some light snow overnight, a low at thirty four, snow showers
early Sunday, and a high at thirty nine. That's the forecast. I'm
nine First Warning, Chief Meteorologist Steve Rawleig. A good day starts with a
good morning. Here's Peter. He's very particular in the morning. First coffee
with exactly a teaspoon and a quarter of sugar. Then he makes pancakes because
his dog Sparky likes that. Then it's Mike connall Tyland. Good morning.
Peter counts on Mike for the latest news, weather, traffic, sports,
investment, news, and Mike's n a bashed human. Even Sparky gives Mike
McConnell to pause. Up. Got a boy, Mike McConnell. Monday morning,
I get five on seven hundred fly the lovely little hamlet of Dayton,
Ohio to talk to our picker and grinner in charge in chief, Dick from
Dayton. Good morning, Dick. How are you okay? How are you
Jary? Jeff? I'm doing just fine. I gotta ask you, Dick,
do you think do you think that with Cleveland playing second team players today
or tomorrow in Cincinnati at pay Court Stadium, you think the Bengals can finally
beat the Browns? You know? I really I think I do, because
you know, the Bengals have lost what three or four? I really think
if if I gets a hot hand in the offense, yeah, I think
they can play spoilers, but they're going to have the defense is going to
have to stop. But see, Dick, there's no spoiling the brown season.
They are locked in at the number five seed. They're the Bengals.
Losing to the Bengals does not hurt the Cleveland Browns at all except maybe their
pride. Yeah, but I don't know. I started to take the Bengals
by three, maybe twenty seven four. Do you know how many times,
Dick, you have picked that score? I mean how many? Yeah?
I? Oh, geez, too many to count. But I'd have to
say, at least in the last three four years when you've been making your
Bengals predictions, twenty seven to twenty four has come up a majority of the
time. Yes, so you really like that score. Yeah, but apparently
and apparently you like the Bengals. What have you been doing all week?
Man? Well, I went back to the Strummers. We had a nice
little show that a lot we're missing people there all in Florida. But then
I went to a Clifton last night. There was about twelve of us and
playing and boy, this one ban Joe guy. He's from Kentucky. He
was, Oh, man, there's nobody could play like him. I never
if I'm going to go fast. This guy went fast and we played Oh
what was this? Oh he did Foggy Mountain breakdown. Oh geez, that's
what we're playing right That's what we're playing right now, is Foggy Mountain Breakdown.
That's your that's your theme music, Dick. Yeah. There was a
guy and sadly he is going on to glory has passed named Taylor Farley.
Taylor Farley was from this area from is actually from Newport area in Kentucky.
Incredible banjo player. I've never seen anybody like him, and I think his
son, Taylor Farley Junior is still playing. So I know some pretty pretty

goodbye Old Radio Rick on the way in just a few minutes at six eleven,
And if you're tuning in for the first time and asking what is this
show? It hasn't quite been defined yet, but we're coming up in our
twenty seventh year, so it's about time we figure it out. Who's the
man you can count on? Willie? Who's the man looking out for you?
Willie? Who's the man who recreated Paul Revere's ride, except he used
the golf cart instead of a horse. Willie Willie Cunningham, The Voice of

and catch the podcast of a show on the fulle iHeartRadio app Jeff Weilerhonda dot
Com. We have a rain and snow mix. As much as two inches
could fall to ending on where you are in the tri State. South and
east of the city. Are looking like they're going to get more, at
least that was the forecast for today, but that rain snow mix changes to
all rain by this afternoon, a high of thirty eight and wash away whatever
accumulation of snow you had overnight down to thirty two with another rain snow mix
into Sunday morning, and then cloudy as we get into Sunday afternoon for the
Bengals, Browns and whatever else you've got planned to hide once again in the
upper thirties Tomorrow and Monday Partley, cloudy and forty two. It is thirty
three, seven hundred WLW. Hear that that's the South is radio Gaga.
Actually got to enjoy some Gaga. I read once in a while now with
Tony Bennett. I thought she was fantasted. Seven hundred WLW Garry Jeff Walker
on this Saturday morning edition coming up on six fourteen, and great to start
the new year with an old friend, as an old radio Rick Washburn with
a reception reporting here he is now Good morning radio, Rick, Good morning,
reporting from what I'm sure is going to be the doghouse in the near
future. But it was worth it. What happened? Oh, you played
Kim Wilson and Jimmy Vaughan this morning as a lead in, and I had
to crank the radio because the radio is this most incredible thing. It's a
nineteen thirty five Pilco two eighty X. It's a fifteen to tube console.
Now what year four bands nineteen thirty five, nineteen thirty five And for those
who think there's no such thing as a high fidelity radio. In nineteen thirty
five, there's this one. Oh man, it's got a twelve inch speaker
plus two uh not. I don't know what a cystal clarifier is. I
wouldn't look it up. It's like, why are the two speakers with no
wires on them? What's going on? Well, this thing it on the
bench. This was a long road because it's just a massive thing. And
then all the parts are buried and it's like peeling layers off of pizza,
pizza, and then putting them all back together again. But when done on
the bench, it just sounded okay, and it's like yeah. But usually
you put the speaker in the cabinet and then it, you know, sounds
better because the cabinet will resonate and give it some better tone. And no,
it sounded not good, and I say, oh no, And then
just happened to stumble upon something in the in the service Manuel, and then
I put the little thin cardboard back on it, and this thing now sounds
like a concert hall. It has to be because of those other speaker non
speaker things. It all has to be sealed up, and it sounds freaking
amazing. Does this radio belong to yours? It belonged to someone else and
you're repairing it. I've tried to steal it from this person, convinced him
it was lost in a flood, but that didn't work. So then I
have to give it back to Tibab and he he's already heard it play,
so I've already waited. I'm really not that dishonest man. You have wedded
the whistle man? Yeah, I mean, you know there's blood in the
water now he's heard at work, And from the way I describing it,
Rick, it just sounds an amazing, amazing little little box. I have
the I have the lesser version that doesn't have the acoustic clarifiers. I understand
it will sound wonderful if I ever get to my own. But in nineteen
thirty five it was two hundred and fifty dollars from your local Filco dealer,
a mere fifty eight hundred dollars today, Oh my god, they did half
financing. But is one of the funniest things about this radio is that instead
of the controls being on the front, they're on the top, underneath a
lid. Okay, and very soon after the radio came out, they changed
it and put them back on the front because if you're gonna pay fifty one
hundred bucks for a radio, people better know it's a radio. What takes
concluded? What what does it look like? I mean does it? Is
it a cathedral? Is it a tombstone? What? What? What kind
of red? It's a It's a big console that's got a large speaker grill
in the center that's almost all the way from the floor to the top,
and then two little speaker grills on either side of it. And it's a
very ornate veneer it looks like a world walnut and possibly a walnut veneer on
the top. And then it's the center of the top about the middle third
that raises up almost like a phonograph cover and locks into place so you can
get to the see the dial and to the knobs and so forth. When
the lids closed, it looks like a piece of furniture with some grilled cloth
in it. And I think that's why they changed the design, because the
later version just looks like a console with the knob and dial on top and
the speaker beneath it. Yeah, that sounds cool. You would you would
send me a picture of that, wouldn't you of course I will, all
right, thank you so much. Happy New Year. It's good to talk
to you, hey, same Happy New Year to you. And we got
an inch of snow. And there's the other beautiful sound was this morning walking
outside and is perfectly quiet and just hearing the snowflakes. Get Oh I love
that. Oh yeah, man, that's that's the best. You know,
once you've dealt with it for about a month or so and it's hard to
drive and you've got a shovel, then it's a pain in that, you
know what. But then that's that first little bit of snowfall, man,
is just priceless. It's one of God's gifts. I'm on board right right
Old Radio Rick at gmail dot com if you'd like to get in touch with
mister Washburn. He does a fantastic job with the radio. If he can
ever find time to get to it. He's got a bench load in a

showers early Sunday, and a high at thirty nine. That's the forecast.
I'm nine First Warning Chief Meteorologist Steve Rawley, seven hundred WL Sport. But
the last weekend of the NFL season. All kinds of playoff implications to explain
that we have an authority known as Liam Tomlinson. Yes, there's two seeds
that are three seeds in the AFC. If the Steelers have what do we
say, they have pancakes for the pregame meal and Jacksonville is swallowed by a
tsunami and the Colts walk backwards like a duck, then who gets in?
Well, that's only if it's less than forty five degrees in Houston. Okay,
same till right, All right, Okay, So there's three seeds that
are locked in the AFC at the moment, right, the Ravens have clinched
home field advantage in the number one seed. Yes, number two seed can
be either be it's the winner of the AFC East, the winner of the
Bills Dolphins get the number two seed. But if the Bills lose, there's
a chance they don't even make the playoffs. That is wild. I heard
that yesterday and I'm going so the Bills. You know, they touted as
a Super Bowl contender before the season and all during the seed and everybody's counting
on Josh Allen to perform his magic in between turnovers, and now the Bills
could totally miss the playoffs. Yeah. Since Week ten, Stefan Diggs has
been like the Fantasy wide receiver fifty four and ever since then they've been on
a winning streak. They've won their last four games. That's true, all
right. The number three seeds of Kansas City Chiefs the winners of the AFC
West. The number four seed at the moment is the Jacksonville Jaguars. But
if they lose, and the winner of the Colts and Texans game, whoever
wins that and the Jaguars lose, is now the winner of the AFC South
and would be the four seed. The five seeds the Cleveland Browns, and
as of now, the six seeds the Buffalo Bills and the seven seeds of
Colts. But if the Steelers win, Buffalo loses, Steelers are in amazing,
amazing with really not a solid starting quarterback going for any extended period of
time. This year for Pittsburgh and Mike tollin defense wins championship. Absolutely,
NFC. What do you got in the NFC? The NFC, I'm trying
to figure out the math for the last thirty minutes in the AFC. To
be honest, we came into the weekend I mentioned this earlier with still the
last week of the season. Still twenty teams possibly could make the playoffs,
the Bengals not being one of them obviously, But the Bengals and Browns do
play here and we will have covered starting at nine a m. And kickoff
at one from pay Corpse Stadium in the home of the best. Bengals covered
seven hundred w l W. This is Coatino Mobley. This is what's trending
from Iheartsports Network presented by Draft Kings Fantasy Sports. While Jamar Chase had been
dealing with a shoulder edge read the last part of the season, the Bengals
star says he will not require surgery this offseason. The second half spell doom
for the RedHawks men's basketball teams. They could keep Toledo for making a run
to hand Miami Ohio their second loss in the MAC and the judge in the
Dominican Republic has ordered the conditional leaves have raised our short snab blinder Fronco because
he has investigated for an alleged relationship with a fourteen year old. I'm Judy

Which is love Bengals record brought to you a quart by on Core Technologies
and your local Ford Dealers on seven hundred WLW, the home of the best
Bengals coverage all Right, humanuses a spend with Bengals head coach Zach Taylor,
and I would go back two years ago to the Super Bowl and the success
that year probably had a lot to do with the team staying healthy throughout the
year and to a lesser degree last year. Would you chalk up injuries as
kind of the key reason even beyond Burrow for the run this year, it's
suver helpful, But I think this year around the league, there's been a
lot of injuries, you know, So we can't sit here and complain about
it. You just got to find ways to finish off games and get in
the playoffs, and unfortunately this year we weren't able to do it. Burrow
being the obvious situation for the lack of productivity offensively. What about defense and
giving up the big play stopping the run? Do you talk that up to
injuries or that just wasn't part of the m of this team the last couple
of years. Yeah, we just got to do a better job, you
know, better job eliminate some of those explosive plays. And and I did
think when win team's got in the red zone, our defense is a great
job creating turnovers and them in the field goals. And uh, but that's
something you know, just overall as a team, we weren't good enough this
year and we got to be much better going into this offseason. Next training
camp has a lot to play for this Sunday with the Browns number one a
winning season and number two getting a win in the division. And uh,
you say, the the players are up for this. This is not a
phone it end game, No, not at all. You know, We've
we've had a great day of practice so far, and it just feels better
to win, you know, so you can win any reason you want.
It's really, at the end of the day, it just feels a lot
better to win than to lose. And we put in a lot of work
over the last year, over the last six month, strain games started and
ow it to the fans, o it to ourselves, you know, to
to end the season on a good note. All right, So obviously the
season ends on Sunday. At what point do you get back to work looking
at next year? Do you actually go back to work next week or do
you give it a break for a week or two. Yeah, we give
it a break for a week or two. You know, we've we've been
going every day since July twenty fifth, and uh so it's it's it'd be
time to spend some time with the family and refresh and then get back to
work on personnel stuff and start getting ready for the off season. So the
Browns arresting a few players, as we know, where do you expect to
find headaches coming your way from Cleveland? Well, it's unknown, you know
who's gonna play or not. So you get to prepare for all the players
and we'll go from there. But again, it's this requires our best effort.
They've been a good team this year and find a way to win the
game. And we have two Pro Bowl players, Hendrickson and Jamar have made
it question, do you watch the Pro Bowl? No? I don't even
I know what the Pro Bowl is anymore. It's still meaningful to be selected,
There's no question about that. I'm not sure where it actually takes place
once they go there, but I know those guys are proud they earned it,
and I'm really happy for them because they deserve that recognition. All right,
Well, so the last one. Good touching base with you a week
to week this year, and we'll do it again next season, thank you
very much. With a constantly changing landscape of technology, it's important to stay
ahead of the game. Look for some precipitation today, rain and snow mixed
in a possible inch or two of snow. This morning, I I have
a thirty eight tonight low near thirty four, and then tomorrow chance of snow
then rain for the Bengals game with a high of thirty eight degrees. Right
now in Cincinnati, we have some precipitation across the tri State thirty three degrees.

the way in mere moments on this Saturday morning on seven hundred WLW seven hundred
WLW, Cincinnati, available everywhere with the iHeartRadio app down number one for podcasting
seven hundred WLW and iHeartRadio station. Are you a business owner, CEO or
responsible for marketing? If you are, I heard b geographically within the tri
State, and my guess, and from what I've heard from the official forecasters,
is if you were south and east of the city of Cincinnati, you
get more. Maybe maybe not. What I saw yesterday was like a loop
that ran from the west side all the way south into Kentucky and then up
up the east side where the heaviest snow belts would be, but no major
accumulations. And again that snow mix is going to turn to all rain here
later on this morning into this afternoon. A high of thirty eight degrees tomorrow
after some rain snow mix in the morning, cloudy in the afternoon, and
a high again in the upper thirties. It is thirty three at seven hundred
WLW. Seven hundred WLW sports not only football, but lots of college hoops.
It's the heart of the season and conference schedules are really cracking up now.
Liam Tomlinson to tell you more. Yeah, thanks for the college basketball
love. Me and Austin Elmore were discussing, he said basketball season doesn't start
toll after the Super Bowl, and I think that's outrageous. We're in the
prime of it right now. Kentucky opens conference play on the road Verse ten
and three, Florida. Lillam, Liam, Yeah, you can give the
scores, but Austin's right, go ahead, what Kentucky opens conference play on
the road Verse ten and three, Florida. This game can be heard on
ESPN fifteen to thirty. Pre game covered starts at twelve tip off except for
twelve thirty. The eleven and two Cincinnati Bearcats are on the road in Provo,
Utah to face its full ranked BYU Cougars. Today marks the first Big
Twelve Conference game for the Bearcats. That's a late night game, ten pm
tip off time, you know. And you mentioned eleven and two. Most
of those eleven wins were against junior high teams. I mean it's hard to
win, man. You gotta win. That's all that matters. And it's
going to and it's going to get it immeasurably tougher now that they're in the
Big twelve Conference. We got all kinds of NFL football today. Yeah,
two games today. First, Steelers in Baltimore to face the Ravens backups.
But I mean Tyler Huntley has a lot of experience, so as underdogs,
they still might be able to pull it out. That game is set for
four point thirty. The Ravens win then keep the Steelers out of the playoff
picture, and there's a big time primetime NFL game tonight c J Stroud,
first time he hasn't played in the one o'clock spot all year. They traveled
Indianapolis to face division rival Colts. Both teams have a chance to win the
AFC South with a win here in a Jaguars loss, and the winner of
this game clinches a playoff berth and who was the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns
tomorrow against the Cincinnati Bengals in the last game of the year. Cincinnati Bengals
legend Jeff Driscoll was getting the start tomorrow or tomorrow. Pregame coverage starts at
nine am. Kick off the set for one, and you can catch all
that action right here on seven hundred WLW, home of the best Bengals coverage.

Gary Jeff with our friend Steve from Etna, Ohio and News of the week.
Good morning, Gary Jeff, Hey, listen, Sorry, I called
up right after the six o'clock news. I hadn't had my coffee yet.
Okay, okay, that's for those of you who didn't join the show until
too late socialist Democrats continue to be mystified this week by the definition of words.
On top of Supreme Court Justice Jackson not knowing what a woman is,
we now have the newly ex president of Harvard not knowing the definition of plagiarism
or more simply stealing. That's either ignorance of the fact that she has no
scruples or both. But like the ex president of the University of Pennsylvania,
she still has her Phony Bologni professorship, eight hundred and seventy nine thousand dollars
a year, multimillion dollar pension, free healthcare for life, the obligatory parking
space, and the constitutionally sanctioned right to yell racism. If anyone thinks she'd
cheated to get where she is today, boy, crime does pay. But
Americans have decided we could live with this as long as we have sports.
And there's also Jeopardy. Wow, what a franchise that is. Love to
watch that. There's regular Jeopardy, there's College Jeopardy, Celebrity Jeopardy, and
I'm betting soon there will be Jeopardy for jub Moakes. Here's how this will
go down. With the affable Ken Jennings as your host, and our first
three players the aforementioned Claudine Gay of HARVD Corin John Pierre in Washington, DC,
along with Congress AOC there being no definition of women in DC, it's
Congress thing now. AOC this week dropped the word stochastic into a DIA tribe
on something or other, and it was immediately picked up by an Internet supporter
of that gay intern who got caught pounding the gabble on another day in the
Senate cloak room. Thank you, drum roll please, Here's the script for
the first game of Jeopardy for jumb Oaks. Claudine, I'll take whose words
anyway? Ken for nine hundred thousand Inflation has hit Jeopardy also Ken eighteen sixty
three, four score and seven years ago. Claudine, what is me Ken?
I'm sorry you misunderstood it wasn't I am not a crook? Nineteen seventy
four Ken Kareein John Pierre opposites for five hundred thousand Ken? Ken your clue
pronoun? Corin? What is Adie Nown? Ken? Wrong? But you
check three boxes so you get another turn? Carinn pronoun? How about amateur
noun? Ken? Sorry? And man, you are dumb even for a
White House Press secretary, but you could still be the president of Harvard.
God can come on, AOC, Ken, I'll take synonyms for one hundred
thousand Ken to conjecture or guess AOC, what is existential? Can know it's
stochastic? AOC. I thought the category with sins guessing is not a sin.
Actually nothing is a sin in Washington, DC. If you're a Democrat,
can no? I said synonyms? You existential idiot? What are you
the next White House Press secretary? God can take a pill, AOC.
You're just guessing. I'm an that's existential and you're a racist? Ken?
No, the word is stochastic and it was no guess on my part.
We'll be back with Final Jeopardy just as soon as I could dig up Alex
Trebek, so I can blow this popsicle stand. Well, that was it.
Security stepped in and you know took over. Okay, big news out
of Las Vegas, Nevada. Vegas Raider gets flagged for sacking judge Oh my
god, thirty year old theobra Redden, a career criminal, illegally sacked Judge
Judy. Somebody was bound to after she had the temerity to sentence the black
defendant in a battery case. You'll recall that former Steelers coach Chuck Nole once
referred to the Raiders players as the criminal element. Some of those players were
black, so that was racist, and Chuck is no longer the Steelers,
although I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Naturally,
as a penitent white person, I do support mister Redden. I assume that
mister Redden, who is a really big guy, is a defensive end for
the Raiders. I'd rate this sack. Did you see the picture of that
leap, Oh my god, leaping head first over the bar, pummeling the
judge and several others as the best sack of the year. And we've got
some pretty good defensive ends here are the Bengals excellent form. Although since he
was technically in what we parents call time out, the play was over and
I think that's roughing the passer after the whistle and he'll probably be held out
of the Raiders Sunday game, but since they aren't going anywhere either, no
big loss for Reddin. He has also missed a practice session in court later
this week. I can't believe you did show up. Redden, who played
for Gaza Tech in the Middle East, could be charged, could be charged
with insurrection, which is defined I do know the definition of words as violence
against authority. That could get have kicked off the ballot for the Hall of
Fame. This is of course outrageous since the vote would be taken away from
we fans. We're going to appeal to the Supreme Court. Stay tuned.
Let's see what Boeger says about this on the eight o'clock Sports Report. This
just in far less, please please decorum in court. Far left Nike officials
have amazingly announced they are no longer donating money, stock, and shoes to

Gary Jeff, I don't know what's happening to this dog dunk country back to
you that that was as good as it gets. Steve fromtt In Ohio with
a pithy a certainly pithier than pithy phone call of the week to take a
break and come back. I'm sorry, Hello, Brooksy, They're finally awakened
South Day six fifty five in the morning. Fine, gee, I wish
I could sleep in, but then I wouldn't get a chance to be with
you here. I can't do my show from home like the big stars like
Ken and Mike, McConnell and Willie. But that being said, Liam and
I were having discussion early and Liam, if you got a moment to strap
on the headphones. I wanted to continue this on air because I thought it
was It was instructive for me, because I had no idea that when we
heard the International Star Registry commercial that you actually were into that. You know,
where you pay to have a star named after someone and it's a big
gift, and there's a presentation and they've got, you know, the declaration
from I don't know, the Library of Congress or whatever, and a star
is named after you. Do you have stars named after you? I'm invested
in twenty six and about to be twenty seven stars at the moment. Well,
how how in the world is at an investment. Well, I'm gonna
sell them off, I think in thirty years. I think it's better than
gold to sell these stars. I think if I invest in these stars early,
you know, buy loves, sell high, I think it's a great
money making up to who is going to buy your stars from you? And
for what reason would they purchase said stars? I mean stars a valuable asset.
Who wouldn't want to own a star? Is the question I'm trying to
think of. Head. You don't make money doing things people have already done,
you know, all right? Well, I mean I guess there's a
possibility if there are you know, planets that support life around these stars,
if these stars hold some kind of value other than just twinkling in the sky
in the Milky Way or some other galaxy. I can understand how someone might
think there is an intrinsic value to the stars, But I don't. I
don't think it's a wise investment on your part. If I buy enough stars,
I might be able to sell those and then buy the Sun. And
if I buy the Sun, I own our own solar system in a way.
You know, it's chestnut checkers, Okay, on several levels, yes,
it is well, that's wonderful, and I hope it all. I
hope it pans out for you, I really do. I just didn't see
any big future in buying stars from the International Star Registry. Now have you
named all twenty six stars? I go buy numbers at the moment until something
really clicks in my head. Usually, since I invest off all my gambling
winnings, I kind of stew it after those mascots. So you think it's
a wiser bet to buy a star and name it than it is to pick
a parlay this weekend in the NFL. Well, once I take Kentucky money
line, then they win. The next tour will be the Wildcats of course.
Well you've explained it better than anybody ever has ever since the International Star
Registry came out decades ago, and I've got to rethink some investment decisions.
I appreciated news coming up in just a moment. So how are things family?
Good? Yeah? Yeah, we're doing well. Hey we missed you

what a wonder beautiful blue marble God has gifted us with. It's just
fine, thank you. Uh, let's get to Steve Shilty. And there's
all kinds of hypocrisy in the green climate crisis crowd, and it's rearing its
head once again in the form of one Taylor Swift to talk about that and
more again. Mister Schulty, how are you, as always heard? Jeff?
Great, Happy new year to you and yours. So what's going on?
You got something something going on with that line? Man? Do you
hear that that squeak in the background? Where are you? I'm in a
car. Ah Is that better? That's fine? So where are you traveling.
If I can be nosey enough to ask, I'm in front of Saint
Anne's Church and the beautiful prospect, ready for our Saturday morning for fellowship.
So that's where I am. Oh fantastic. Okay, you were talking about
Taylor Swift and the real twenty twenty three wildfires report. I didn't follow this
story. I didn't follow this story at also refresh my memory. What did
Taylor Swift say? And well, it's not what she was. What Taylor
Swift has said that she's very, very concerned about man made catastrophic climate change.
Okay, However, you know she travels around in this jet. This
jet emits more carbon for those who care, than your average American car does
in the entire lifetime of the car owner. And last year she took more
than two hundred trips. So obviously, according to car to Taylor Swift,
it is your car carry Jeff that's causing man made catastrophic climate change, not
her jet. Okay, so that's where the hippocrisy goes. The other thing
I got regarding wildfires, and again we're trying to advocate scientific education, not
in doctrination. This comes again from the Heartlinstitute Climate Change Weekly number four ninety
two, which was issued yes yesterday at heartland dot org headline wildfires well below
seasonal average. So this is from our own National Interagency Fire Center reports that
the acreage lost the wildfires last year in twenty twenty three was less than forty
percent of the average acres lost annually for the previous ten years. In fact,
the amount lost in last year was the lowest of nineteen ninety eight twenty
five years of so called global warming. Ago of the sharp droft is contributed
to well above average precip that's ring for those in vevas in California, Northwest
Pacific, and the Mountain West, where the wildfire is typically uh prevalent.
Another factor or suppressing the wildfires out in the West was cooler than average temperatures
in the wildfire prone regions. Well, I mean, that's just that's the
thing. When there is a massive wildfire, the media jumps on it like
it's the first time there's ever been a wildfire fire in these areas, which
is not true at all. Number one and number two, Uh, they
they conveniently leave out the facts of the average that that you're giving me.
The averages over the years of wildfires. There can be a particularly hot season
and more wildfires, and then there are less. And it has very little
to do with if any man made contribution to the atmosphere. In fact,
as we've talked about many times before, because of the higher CO two and
because of the slightly warm temperatures that we've experienced over the last and thirty years
or so, whatever the cause, NASA satellites continue to show that the Earth
is getting greener on net and more green. Earth is great for plants,
is great for insects, it's great for animals, and it's great for humans.
Yes, but of course humans you meant all kinds of carbon dioxide when
they breathe. We've got to get rid of the humans. I think that
is their main push is to get rid of us, because, as we
like to say, Steve Well, if humans of the problem, please you
go first. Thank you. And Taylor Swift and her private jet John Kerry,

a lawsuit by the floor eighte Action Network that was against the EPA, and
we're going to talk about the uh the here a research paper that was being
it was being uh, let's say, not told to the general public and
all the bad things that fluoride actually does to the brain. Well it's it's
supposed to make your teeth white and healthy. Yeah. Yeah, that's a
bunch of bs. So I never get into it Tuesday. I never knew
there was a fluoride Action Network. Oh yeah, yeah, well there's a
few. There's a few organizations for the past twenty years. Actually, we've
been trying to get well and I'm part of that, you know, for
twenty years. And what's really funny is that, you know, people discounted
fluoride, discounted the bad things against florid because guys like Alex Jones was Togo.
We're talking about how bad floride was and by putting it in the water,
how they were trying to uh, you know, to make us uh
stupid stupid. Okay, well I'll look forward to that. Roco. Have

did some digging and hand delivered it to surviving family members. Nice, a

The Bengals Update brought to you in part by Rounse American Grilled on seven
hundred WLW, the home of the best Bengals coverage. Hi, Tony Pike.
From your perspective of the biggest difference in this year the lack of success
this year as compared to the last two burrow being the obvious. What comes
after that, Well, the defense. You know, the defense this year
has been so underwhelming. Their last in the NFL in big plays given up,
So they give up chunk plays. They tried to rely on turnovers and
for a while they got that, but you cannot have your backbone of your
defense be well, we're going to force turnovers in the red zone. So
they had the bend, but don't break. They got gassed this year with
those big plays. And then I look on the offensive side of the ball,
this team is dead last in the NFL and rushing, I mean,
I don't care who's back there a quarterback when you're not able to get any
type of running game established, it makes it very hard to be a quarterback
at any level. So the defense have big plays given up, and the
inability to run the ball on the offensive side of the ball have contributed a
big ways. Was the inability to run more of the line or a combination
of the line and the premiere back. It feels like they have backs in
place, and it feels like at times that this offense is set up to
be more of a run first team. The under center they saw some success
with Jake Browning. I think it's all of the above. I think they
there's still a little boys away on the offensive line. I don't think they
have the explosive threat as a running back one right now. I think Chase
Brown can be that, but I don't think that's Joe Mixon at this point.
So it is I think a lot of different things go into that.
So as far as the lack of being competitive within the division, was that,
do you think the Bengals were too complacent while others improved? I don't
think so. I think that they truly did think that the roster was good
enough to go win a Super Bowl. And I think there's a lot of
people that saw that, and the more the season played out, I don't
think that was the case. You look at how other teams are built in
the Baltimore Ravens and they are missing guys due to injury. Ak Dobbins,
Mark Andrews, and right now Baltimore is the best team in the NFL.
Cleveland has been decimated by injuries and have found ways to get wins. The
Pittsburgh Steelers Mike Tomlin seventeen straight years now without a losing season under Mike Tomlin.
So a lot of different variables that play in but I do genuinely think
that not just here in Cincinnati, on a national level, this roster was
viewed as a Super Bowl roster, and when Joe Burrow went down, you
could tell very quickly that it just wasn't the roster that many thought it was.
Yeah, all right, we got ron Tony Pike's been a real pleasure.
I'm sure I'm more for you than for me. I will do it
again next time time. Likely take it easy, yes, sir, andding

Whenever Elvis moved his hips. Baby, we're rocking this morning. Go
back to the king side side was settling on the block and ston't we're over

or break mother, turn to sit to downy sat next next I wanna stingle
around the water again, my kicken. Okay, so this Monday, coming
Monday, we're celebrating Elvis's eighty ninth birthday. We have to celebrate because he's
not around to do it. But Elvis Aaron Presley, had he gotten pasted
all of the drugs and the weight problems and whatever it was that killed him,
would have been eighty nine this coming Monday to talk about that and much
more. The music professor Jim Lebarbara, that was my wife's favorite Elvis song.
That's why we played that particular one. Jim, what you got for
us on on EP? Yeah, well can I say that now? That
was a number one record for seven weeks Dalehouse Rock, one of my most
identifiable songs. And just listen to the way you played that that first,
that first intro six seconds. That that intro six seconds, and that six
second pattern repeats itself throughout that song. DJ Fontana with the drumser and that
that was a firm musical hook to remain the envy of songwriters all over the
world to this day. The son very interesting man. That was number one
record, giant record for Elvis, and Lieber and Stolen wrote it. They
locked the publisher at the publishing house, locked him in the room and said,
you guys, because they were in New York for a whole week drinking
and part so we need songs. So he walked in the room and took
him five hours. That came out with four songs, and that was one
of them. Now, the movie, actually the title, the working title
for the movie goes to the chance they got that song, and obviously that
was the choice. Okay, bring a change. The change the movie titled
jail House Rock. But I say, if you listen to the lyrics,
it's unbelievable. Now we're going back to nineteen fifty seven. You're the you
know, uh, here's a game romance. I mean, when he's talking
about the inmate number forty seven telling number three, you're the cutest gelboard I
ever did see homophobic line in nineteen fifty seven, it's amazing there is yet
that got past the centers. And then right after that he goes into Scotty
Moore's explosive guitar solo. So it's just amazing. But that record, you
know, to this day you hear it and it's you know, it's Elvis.
It's Elvis. Incredible, no question. Up next to a number one
record from Paul and Hart, Yeah, number one this week. In nineteen
sixty six, Paul Simon and Garfunkle came out of the album the first cut
them an album. They did, that little folk album they did Wednesday Morning,
three Am. It's Stiffed. It's sold about three thousand copies. And
they broke up. They split, They went their separate ways. Paul went
to England and Karfunk went back to school. And a producer at Columbia Records,
Tom Wilson, decides to add augment this with some musical instruments, and
then the thing takes off and Idiot's number one and they're not together. They
get back together quickly and it becomes this giant million sellar and the duo was
born. And it's the simplicity if you listen to it, of the melody
and the words useful. There was the problem, the communication problem, lack
of the communication one man with another man. And it resonated with millions of
people, largely, I think because of the simple and singable melody. But
the opening Gary Jeff, the opening line, Hello darkness, my old friend.
Now, that came from Paul Simon's remembering as a boy when he would
sing in the bathroom and he'd shut the lights off, sing in the bathroom,
and he would enjoyed the acoustics from the tiles that provided this wonderful do
wop rebird sound, and that's how this thing all came about. He was
twenty one years old when he wrote it. I never knew the significance of
that opening line until you just told me. Proph. Let's listen to Simon
and Garfunk. Hello darkness, myle friend. I've come to talk with you
again because a vision softly creeping left his seas while I was sleeping, and
the vision that was planted in my ring stealings, in the sound of silence
and the restless tunes. I walked over thus streets of co song, buy
lot of Street. I turned my collar to the cold and dam when my
eyes were spared by the flask shoving me online, stripping the cushions, sound
son and number Babel song. Ten thousand people, maybe more people talking without
sleeping, people hearing about name, people writing songs. Bad voice is never
share, no wonder stud the sound silent, and said, I do not
know silence. Side with Pencer Roll. Here my words that I might beat
you. Take my arms at how I beat you? Put my words like
sided and of silence umber people about the bad doing, the young god they
made. I'm a side by adding it's the morning him a word that it
was more the sign said the words of the province on the subway. Wold
oh Sien oh so so Classic seven forty three Rock and Roll Archaeology on a
Saturday morning edition on seven hundred w l W with the music professor Jim Lebarbara.
I tell you what, prop Let me just play the start of this
and we'll explain what this is. So Jim, tell me what this is.
Is this a Chipmunks record that I never heard before? It is a
joke. This is absolutely a joke that never should have been released. The
four seasons that they go into the studio, they're gonna do a whole album
consisting all of the Bob Dylan songs. Okay, now, this is the
song not sing twice. It's all right that Peter Paula Mary had a hit
with two years earlier, and uh thanky thanky Valley can't can't. He's not
satisfied in the song as he's singing it doesn't like it, so he decides
it's a joke to break everybody up. But he sings this crazy, weird,
false set of sound that you just heard, and that reduces attention in
the studio, they're all laughing, I have a good time, and an
executive of Phillips Records is passing by the studio. He hears it and says,
I like that. I like that, So he releases it as a
single. And what they did was when it came out the radio stations.
It came out late nineteen sixty five and then peaked in late late sixty five.
In early sixty six, it was still on the charts, but they
sold it. It came out with a connected Dots to Sleep, had a
connect the Dots puzzle, and then it's a truncated name done thing twice and
then on the label it said the wonder Who with a big question mark.
And so this thing takes off and becomes a hit. And at the same
time, this song is on the charts in the upper half of the charts,
Frankie Valley as a solo record, You're going to hurt yourself, and
the Four Seasons record or come My Way Back to You. So here they
have the Fourth Season have on the upper half of the charts three simultaneous hit
records with the same group under different names. Uh, the joke became a
hit. Well, let's let's listen. Let's listen to Bob Dylan's original Just
a piece of that Limb, If you would please marked you sitting Wanda?
Why beib? I mean you don't know body now and I didn't know you
sit in Wanda? Why be he don't have a do somehow? When you
rooster crows at the break a don look at you and name I be gone.
You're the reason I've been traveling. But don't sing christ all it's rock
and roll archaeology. And we move along to a number another number one song
this week, Jim. Yeah, well it's just actually Chris Stine's birthday yesterday,
it was, but it was at number one song. But yeah,
Christine, number one record, number one record. In nineteen eighty, gigantic
kid Chris Stein found this group Pick and put this group together, Angel and
the Snake. They changed the name to Blondie, and then that came about
because comments made by truck drivers who would cat call hey Blondie as his girlfriend,
Debbie Harry would be walking in the street. So they came up the
name Blondie now Debbie Harry, and they were romantically involved, Debbie and Christine,
and they were most of the Blondie songs, but not this one.
This is the song was a cover song originally recorded by a Jamaican vocal group
called the Paragons in nineteen sixty seven, and they got ahold of the song
and did their styles to what they wanted to actually want to get a group
called the dis Group over in England the Specials that were into this music to
be background singers, and they turned them down. Interesting thing that, so
this takes off completely different than what they were normally doing. John Lennon,
Sean Lennon, John Lennon's son, told a great story about this His dad.
I knew Dad had this old Willitser ten fifteen bubbler jukebox in the game
room with their house in Long Island, and it was filled with forty five
So Sean said it must be alos, he said an everly Brother songs.
But the one modern song that he remembers as a little kid listening to it
was the Tide Is High by Blondie, out which John Lennon played constantly.
Said, and when I hear that song, I see my dad unshaved and
his hair pulled back into a ponytail, dancing to and throw in a worn
out pair of the denim shortz and me at his feet, trying to my
best to coordinate my tiny little limbs. So a great visual of John Leonard
dancing to this song. Yeah, from John Lennon's Last Year on Earth nineteen
eighty Here's Blondie. Happy birthday, Chris Stein. This week seven l The
tide is, I have an aumble. I'm gonna be not the ones,
not the kind of like that. Oh no, it's not going to do
that. Jees and boot my bed. Let it go the way to do
the things you should do, truse me. I'm not the kind of like
that. Oh no, the tide is, I have an amble. I'm
gonna be no lef we go she oh man, but I'll wait the year.
It is not the kind of girl is out. My dad is swinging
and swinging with Blondie on a Saturday morning. I'm seven hundred w l W
went the music professor jim La Barbara. Uh. That was interesting story about
John Lennon having this on his Wurlitzer jukebox and son Sean watching his dad jam
out to this. That's that's a great story. So now we have the
King of the soundtracks, in fact, there was a there was a time
in the eighties where if there was a big movie coming out, this guy
was contracted to do the theme for the soundtrack. I mean it happened on
more than a few occasions, but this was the first big launch for this
guy as the king of the soundtracks. Talk about this last record, Jim
you great. Kenny Loggins would celebrate a birthday. Kenny Loggins would celebrated birthday
tomorrow, seventy six years old. He and I was talking. They said,
well, how did you get into writing songs and play the guitar?
And he told me he went to Catholic school, Okay, and so by
the time he was a junior in high school, he had very few girlfriends
that even knew. He said, I didn't know how to talk to them.
They seem like creatures foreign planet to me. So in a way to
get to know them better, he started writing songs and singing. And he
said, if you play guitar, you get invited the parties. And then
half he said, the problem is I'm at the party, I'm spending most
of my time singing and playing that most you know, I didn't meet that
many people anyway, So he becomes this singer songwriter, and then the songs
get recorded by the Nittigodie Dirk Band in nineteen seventy and that really opens the
door for him. Then he does that stuff with Loggins in the scene that
they cut like seven albums are terrific, and then he starts writing music for
his soundtrack, says stars Born. You mentioned the footloose, of course,
and this one, this one, this was the song that he wrote.
It was the theme for the movie Caddy Shack. And he plays this song
at the beginning and the end of the film, and the song is associated
with the golpher who is battling the over eager and slightly the range crazy groundskeeper
Bill Murray, Bill Murray Yeah, and he blows up most of the golf
course in an attempt to kill the creature gopher. And then after the blast,
we see the gopher coming out, emerging, smiling, safe and found
and dancing to the song. And Kenny Logins wrote this song. Eddie Money
was recording in the studio right next to his and he convinced him to sing
a line in the song that's him in the background. Any Money, He's
singing, you make me feel good? But he's not credited, and so
every money was not really a big family in later years of Kenny Loggins,
he was upset over to that. Now now when Loggins, if you listen
to it, launches back in the course. Part way through this song he
studied, he stutters on the lyrics singing I'm all right, which was an
accident. He actually misjudged the entrance to come back in in the arrangement he
had. It was that he messed up. He delayed that entrance, and
he forgot that when he was doing the lead vocal when they recorded it,
and then he's a mistake. And then he remembered when the mamas and papas
did the same thing as similar club and I saw her again. He kept
it in and it became this number one record in nineteen eighty from from Kennyheck
Kenny Loggin. Happy birthday, Kenny Loggins seventy six tomorrow and thank you,
professor, another great rock and roll archaeology this morning. Thank you. Uh

we'll see melting as the high hits thirty eight. Overnight mix possible, low
thirty three wintry mix possible for your Sunday morning, cloudy later with a high
of thirty nine. From your severe weather station, I'm nine First Warning Meteorologist
Raven Richard, News Radio seven hundred WLW thirty three degrees now at eight oh
five, I'm Sandy Collins next update at eight thirty on news Radio seven hundred
WLW News four hours a day when he was a Radio seven hundred WLW Mercedes
benze Ford Mitchell dot com. Oh yeah, into another hour of the Saturday
morning edition, the first of the new year, for January sixth, twenty
twenty four. I'm Gary, Jeff Walker, you or you and that is
perfectly fine with me and my friends. I've been looking forward to this one
just because I have some specifics to ask our next guest, science Mike,
get right to it. A Science minute coming up. Yes, but as
a nightly scientist who's been surprising, Itell blinded me with oh yes, for
the first time in decades. Uh, we have a NASSA spacecraft who flew
past Io, which is one of the moons on Jupiter, known as the
most volcanic body that we know of in our solar system, and maybe science
Mike has information on that. But but did you see any of the new
images, Mike. I saw the It flew like within like thirty or forty
miles from the surface, and it was they could see the uh, just
the the volcanic the plumes coming out and everything. Yeah, it's crazy.
Yeah, it's really really cool, really really cool. So anyway, what's
on your plate this morning? So this is we're going to involve the I
heard your discussion with Liam this morning on his star investment. Yes, the
International Star Registry, he claims is an investment for the future. He is,
he's already bought and named twenty six stars and he plans to sell later.
Well, I think I have an investment opportunity. I'll get to that
at the end here. But this is about star naming and the scene.
And when the Apollo missions UH were going on, they had their eternal,
their guidance system, which was a gyroscope system, and occasionally when they were
going on their mission that the gyroscope would drift a little bit, so they
had thirty seven stars that they would actually they could they could lock onto to
re calibrate the guidance system. Okay, So when then Paula was going on
getting ready to go on Apollo one the Griffith Observatory out in la they asked
the Apollo one mission team, which was headed by Gus Grissom, and we
all know what happened with the Pola one, but he asked him for the
list of the thirty seven stars. So he said, share, I'll give
you a list. Well, he gave him the list, the names of
the thirty seven stars, but he renamed three of them and just for fun,
so he renamed them the Nazis, which is the second the word second
backward, which is related to Ed White being second in command, and Navvy,
which is Ivan which is Chris Gussums Gus Christms middle name. And the
third one was Regor, which is Robert Roger Chaffie Roger backwards. So he
gave those three names to the to the correspondent with the griff observatory. And
actually these three names they got onto this they're actually stars, the real stars.
They but they got the names that they that Gus gave the list to.
They were actually on star charts and in UH in the sixties and seventies,
and he actually went up in the ninety three. So I'm still having
ninety three. So my point is to Liam, if you can find some
of those star charts with those three names on it, you might you might
have some investment opportunity, because what you currently got you got nothing. Give
me the three names again. Give me the three names again, Mike,
I give you the three names. It's the Nazis, d n Well second
backwards, Ivan backwards, and Roger backwards. So that's easier to say it
that way. I had no idea, so see, yeah, I didn't
either. I mean, I'm just going to go out the next clear night
and just start naming things that I see. And I don't think there's no
resale value an the stars, So I don't know where did you hear that,
liamb there's no resale value in the selling of star names. I hope
he's paying attention. Wake up? Not yet? All right, Happy New
Year, Happy New Year to you, Michael, Thank you very much.
I go look at some of those images of Io again. Seven hundred WLW.
Did you know that if you miss any part of our shows, you
can catch the podcast of that show on the iHeartRadio ad? Did you also
know that it's illegal to bring bears to the beach in Israel, which means
if you're on the beach in Israel listening to our podcast, you don't have
to worry about bears. And I expect it to be a lot easier.
I thought it was going to be a piece of cake. I didn't know
what's stuff to take next? I was transitioning from the military. I was
a vehicle gunner, an avionic specialist. I was an MP military police.
My friends thought I could do anything. I missed my unit, my family,
playing with my daughter. I felt like a stranger. I was overwhelmed.
I couldn't sleep. I just wanted to be by myself. I didn't
have a clear sense of what to do next. I was too proud,
and then I thought, if I'm going through this, other veterans have gone
through too. Right. I started to open up and it made a huge
difference. So I reached out when I saw that I wasn't alone, because
before I was able to take on my next mission, I had to take
on just taking care of myself to find purpose. Go to make the connection
dot net to learn how other veterans have overcome the challenges of transitioning out of
the military. Your forecasts as follows arrange snow next This morning, I have

my sons growing up without me inspired me to quit smoking. I talked to
my doctors and then I threw away all my cigarettes ashtrays and lighters. I
started exercising instead of smoking. Getting support from friends online kept me on track.
Staying away from alcohol when I was first quitting was key. Instead of
smoking. After I ate, I'd get up and take a walk. I
missed having a cigarette in my hand, so I'd hold a pen or straw,
anything until I knew I wouldn't give into temptation. I spent more time
with my friends who didn't smoke. I went to places that were smoked free.
I didn't stay quit the very first time I tried. I kept on
trying, and I learned something each time, do whatever it takes, no
matter how many times it takes. I quit. I quit, I quit.
We did it. So can you? You can quit for free help

Chief Meteorologist Steve Rawley's seven one hundred at WLW Sport with that Liam Tomlinson of
course, all kinds of NFL action. First, let's start with the college
hoops, A conference play getting underway for some local fabs. Yeah, the
eleven and two Cincinnati Bearcats are on the road in Provo tonight ten pm tip
right here on seven hundred WLW. They're facing the twelfth rank Cougar's in their
first Big twelve conference basketball game. And did UK getting into conference play in
the SEC. Yeah, Cats big opening game on the road in floor at
Florida. That game can be heard on ESPN fifteen thirty and tip off is
set for twelve thirty. Pregame covered starts at twelve. College Football's finale on
Monday night, Michigan Washington, number one, number two, just like we
had all along. What's the point of the playoff? As I said earlier,
BCS had it right. Kickoff is set for seven thirty. I don't
know how really it's going to be at seven thirty, you know, with
National championship games in Super Bowl, but that's the schedule time for the kick
it's in. The championship game is in Houston. I'm excited. It should
be a great game. ESPN fifteen thirty will have the coverage on that.
And we got double header NFL Action today, Huge games, huge two games
with playoff implications. The Steelers face the Ravens in Baltimore today at four thirty.
Would you like to hear every scenario? I hear every single scenario possible
how the Steelers can clinch a playoff birth Pittsburgh win plus Buffalo loss or Pittsburgh
win plus Jacksonville loss or tie, or Pittsburgh win plus in Houston, Indianapolis
tie or Pittsburgh tie plus Jacksonville loss plus Houston Indianapolis doesn't end in tie or
Jacksonville loss plus Denver win plus Houston Indianapolis doesn't end in a tie. What
so just win to start whiskey tango fox trat man. Okay, So the
NFC playoff scenarios, what happens there? San Francisco has clinched the number one
seed and the number two seed. If Dallas wins, they are the number
two seed. The Cowboys. They have the tiebreaker over the Eagles, so
they have to win the three seeds. The Lions win, they have the
has already secured at least a three seeds. The NFC North champions. But
the NFC South is a battle. Tampa is the divisional leader right now,
and the eight and eight. The Saints are at eight and eight and they're
outside looking in. But the Falcons are seven and nine, and they can
clinch the NFC South title with a win plus a Tampa loss. Unbelievable.
So they would clinch the NFC South with an eight and nine record, Yes,
because the Saints would also be eight and nine and Tampa would be eight
and nine. I got you all right, Well, thank you very much,
it's clear as mud. Thanks for doing the research. Brother, I
appreciate it. Well, we'll talk. We'll talk more about this, I'm

Things yet to be answered concerning the teams that were heavily involved in twenty twenty
three, specifically in the NFL. But the college basketball is starting conference play,
and that includes, of course, the UC Bearcats on the road in
Provo, Utah to play BYU, the twelfth ranked team in the country,
their first of their Big Twelve conference schedule. Moe Egger is here, Hey,
Mo, what's going on? Yes, you didn't make the trip to
Provo? I did not? Well, I mean, what's the deal?
Only Dan Horde gets to go to exotic locales like that. You know,
I've hit my quota of Utah churts this year. I went for the NIT
and I went for the football game, and so I've I've hit my number.
Didn't have to go. Oh okay, I didn't know it was your
choice. I thought maybe they just they just ran out of travel budget money
and said, no, Mo, you got this. We can't afford the
plane tickets. Stay home. No comment. So, uh is the the
seven foot are going to play? I know that he came to practice this
week after a long absence, been out since the Dayton game. I can't
pronounce his name because I'm just not that good, you know what I'm talking
about. I mean, it's these bandigo. It's okay, not all that
difficult. Yes, you don't, I don't. You don't have the same
struggles I do. Most so don't be judgmental anyway. Trust me, when
when it comes time to the tennis tournament week, I I lose my mind
having to pronounce some of those names. Uh, he did practice. I
think it's going to be, as we say, a game time decision.
They could certainly use them, uh, But I think the bigger issue for
the Bearcat signed against the Yu is running b YU shooters off the three point
line. This is the best outside shooting team in the country. And you
talked about them being ranked twelfth in the AP Top twenty five pole. They're
actually number four in the NCAA NET rankings, number two and the ken Pom
rankings. They they could use as these bandego because they need rim protection,
they need quality bigs. But I think this game is going to be decided
by how the Bearcats stop or try to stop attempt to stop BYU's outside shooting.
I heard Wes Miller in a press conference leading up to this game just
gushing about BYU shooting, and you know that's what he said. It's all
about the three point shot with this team, and they are lights out when
it comes to the unless you, like you said, run them off the
line or or you know, have it even with a hand in their face.
They're probably pretty dangerous. They are. And I think the scary thing
is if you saw Cincinnati's last game against Evansville, there's sort of a poor
man's version of BYU with the way they run their offense. And in the
first half of that game, Purple Lations did whatever they wanted offensively. Now
the second half, the Becats defended much much better and superior athleticism took over.
But you know, it's I've said this a few times this week.
I think folks who maybe don't follow college basketball as a whole, you know,
they they know UC's moved to the Big Twelve, and they know,
okay, well, the Big Twelve has Kansas. Kansas is really good.
Well. BYU's outstanding, and if you look at Cincinnati's first six games in
the Big Twelve, it's BYU, Texas, Baylor, Oklahoma, TCU,
and then Kansas. Those six teams are ranked in the top forty of you
know what the NCAA uses to help determine who makes the tournament in seeding the
net rankings. They're among the forty most efficient teams in college basketball. This
is going to be just the first six games, an absolute gauntlet, and
I think folks who pay attention tonight will find out how good this BYU team
is. Bearcats are going to have to play their best game of the season
by far to even have a chance to win. Meanwhile, mister Liam Tomlinson
in my producer's seat here is just crowing about the UK Wildcats. They kick
off their conference play against Florida and UK. I mean, how good are
they? How good can they be? They're good? You know I was
talking me being a native of Kentucky, you know, with all my relatives
who are UK fans, was having a conversation the other night and I said,
I think the way the team has put together because of their guard play,
it's their best chance they've had in years to make a good March run.
I put them a rung below you know, Purdue and Arizona and Yukon.
They're not in matt Echelon. But you know, look, I think
what Room's over Kentucky is the final fours route, right, haven't been one
since twenty fifteen. And that's it's not the most fair way to judge a
program, right, It just it isn't. But you know that's if you
look at the standard. John Caliperry said his first five years, they go
to the NCAA Tournament. Every year. They go to the final four in
twenty eleven, twenty twelve, twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, they nearly go
on defeated in twenty fifteen, and since they lost in the final four to
Wisconsin almost nine years ago, they haven't been back. I don't know if
this team is good enough to do that, but I think with the exception
of the twenty twenty team they had, which obviously didn't get a chance to
play in the NCAA Tournament, I think this team represents their best chance to
make a good March run since maybe twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen. And I
know they may be elite in twenty nineteen and lost to Auburn. I think
this team certainly in the backboard has a chance to be even better than that.
Looking ahead to the rest of twenty twenty four and the Red season Pitchers
and Catchers report February fifteenth, and goodyear, Arizona. This this latest signing
the pitcher from the Yankees who's coming off a year which obviously didn't he didn't
throw. He threw like three innings last season. How good is he and
does he markedly improve the Reds pitching staff. I struggle with this because I
think, first of all, Frankie montass is his name. He gets a
one year contract with an option for twenty twenty five for sixteen million dollars.
I think that is just reflective of how the pitching market has exploded. Right
If Frankie Montas, who threw in one game at the end of the season
last year, is going to get that kind of coin, then it just
it makes you wonder what a guy like Blake Smell is going to get,
who is yet unsigned, who's awesome, and who's terrific last year for the
San Diego Padres. So I think the Reds just you look at it and
go, oh god, you know what they paid that kind of money for
a guy who didn't barely pitch last year. That's just the reality of what
it costs to try to get even vote remotely decent pitching. I put it
this way, I think the Reds this offseason have raised their floor. I'm
not sure how significantly they have raised their ceiling. And I think you're being
fair if you go okay as a whole. There's a lot of really good
young talent. The organization is clearly moving in the right direction. But if
the idea of this season is to get to the playoffs and win the World
Series, can you rips gonna go out there and pitch six seven innings and
we're going to win that night. Frankie Montas, it has a quality resume,
but he's made thirty starts in the season once in his career. He's
pitched over one hundred and fifty innings once in his career. Now, if
if by the end of the year you look at Frankie Montas and he's our
fifth starter, boy, that means Hunter Green state healthy and was really good,
and Graham Ashcraft stayed healthy and was really good, and Andrew Abbott took
a major step forward, and Nick Lodolo stayed healthy and was really really good,
and each of those things can happen. I'm not sure the odds are
in favor of all of those things happening, and so I'm a little I'm
optimistic. I don't share the overwhelming optimistic that I think everybody else does,
because I just I don't know that Frankie Montas makes a staff look. The
injury history and inexperience on this starting staff outweighs what the starting staff collectively has
accomplished, and until that equation reverses, I think there's always going to be
some very fair skepticism about their chances this year to do something special. Big
games today and all this weekend in the NFL. And I don't remember last
year the last week of the NFL season being so impactful on playoff positions and
whether teams make playoffs or not. There's a lot up in the air this
weekend. MO and I understand that if the Steelers have pancakes for a pregame
meal and Jacksonville and Jacksonville is swallowed by a giant tsunami and the Colts can
avoid hookers, then somebody's in. I'm not sure. Yeah, I think
that's the exact playoff formula. You nailed it. You know, it's funny.
Obviously the Bengals aren't playing for anything as it relates to playoff positioning.
But you know, at the end of the year it got to be so
confusing, I think for some folks wondering who you root for, who you
root against. But it's remarkable the Steelers go into today with a chance to
make a postseason I don't think anybody would have thought that three weeks ago,
and yet Mason Rudolph has helped them get to a point where if they win,
they could very well be playing next week. They're gonna be playing a
Baltimore team that has no reason to play. It's players of consequence and so
significant edge to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jacksonville we'll see if they have Trevor Lawrence
in their game. You know, they say it's decision that could be made
right up until just before kickoff. He's got a shoulder issues. So yeah.
There are a lot of impactful games. I think the most interesting one
though, is the last game of the weekend Miami and Buffalo for the AFC
East title. Because the winner of that game is going to be the two
seed. There is a chance that the Buffalo Bills might not even make the
postseason if they don't win the game. I think you can make a case
that the Bills are the second most dangerous team in the AFC, and yet
they might not even be in the postseason. If you look at Las Vegas
odds to make the Super Bowl right now, Buffalo is They're behind Baltimore.
Baltimore is the odds on favorite. Buffalo's odds are better than anybody else's and
they haven't even yet clinched the postseason. Birth they're in Miami. They throttle
the Dolphins earlier this year. Miami has all sorts of injury issues. They
were pummeled by the Ravens last week. So the season is going to end
with the division championship game, and based on what else happened around the league,
it could be a game that the Bills need to win just to make
the postseason. Well, you mentioned the Baltimore Ravens, which again have nothing
to play for at this point. They've clenched the home field advantage number one
seed in the AFC. I think, and I have said this now for
about a month, even before the first game during the regular season, that
I believe in my heart of hearts it's going to be the Baltimore Ravens versus
the San Francisco forty nine Ers in Super Bowl fifty eight. And I think
the Ravens are going to win. And I think furthermore that John Harbro's brother
Jim is going to bring the national championship back to Michigan. Harbrough brothers will
share championship trophies at the end of all of this. What do you think
of that prediction? Very plausible? You know, I think I think it's
hard if you want to sift through all the NFL teams to allies and come
up with the most likely Super Bowl combination. I don't know how you don't
say Baltimore San Francisco. And it really does feel like the forty nine Ers
are just head and shoulders above and beyond everybody else in the NFC. You
know, Philadelphia's defense has all sorts of issues, I mean correct, and
you know, look, they still obviously have a chance to clinch the NFC
East, but you know, when they played San Francisco in San Francisco,
they got absolutely destroyed. So I think there's gonna be some skepticism about them
and Baltimore. I mean, look what they've done the last couple of weeks.
They go to San Francisco and win decisively. They absolutely hammer Miami.
They've done a great job of replacing and I think, in some respects upgrading
the players from the players that they've lost. I don't know, if you're
picking two teams to make the Super Bowl, the two most likely are San
Francisco and Baltimore. And if you watch the two teams play head to head,
Baltimore beat them and they were clearly superior. So yeah, I agree
with you there. I actually think Washington's going to win on Monday. I
do yeah, because I think offensively, as good as Michigan is and running
the football and as good as they were just being more physical against Alabama,
Washington's got NFL dudes on the outside. They've got a better quarterback who can
do more. I don't know that Michigan is equipped to win a really high
scoring game where they have to match the other team touchdown for touchdown. Now,
I don't think it's going to be some insane shootout, but I think
it's going to be more high scoring than people expect. And I think if
that's the case, Washington has the better chance to win. But I do
think there would be something neat and interesting and polarizing about the Harball brothers getting
atop the perch of their respective sports. That would be interesting, no doubt.
Lastly, to rap, what are the Bengals playing for tomorrow? A
winning season? Pride's the what's their purpose? We know Cleveland doesn't have anything
to play for. They're locked into the fifth seed of the playoffs. They
don't want to get anybody hurt going into the playoffs. They've got legitimate chances
to win a playoff game or two. So what are the Bengals playing for
tomorrow? Mo? I think more than anything, what tomorrow is about is
you know which players are playing their last game in Cincinnati uniforms? And do
you want your last game in a Cincinnati uniform or do you want your teammates
last game in a Cincinnati uniform to be remembered for being a fawn farewell or
an extension of the very late season misery? You know? I mean this
is I've talked about this a lot on my show this week. This is
to a degree, the end of an era. And look, Joe Burrow
is still going to be here and if he's healthy for seventeen games next year,
I'll take my chances with that. And I think the Bengals will be
playing in the postseason next year. But T Higgins, Jonah Williams, maybe
Joe Mixon, Choudobea Woozier. You know, you can go on down the
list and there's a lot of guys who could be playing. Tyler Boyd,
who's been here since twenty sixteen, Tyler Boyd caught passes from Jess Frisco in
twenty sixteen, who's starting a quarterback for the Browns. Man, that's how
long he's been here. It's a lot of guys like that who you know,
maybe they figure out a way to keep one of them. But there
are a lot of guys who have been a part of, you know,
a lot of winning over the last couple of years, that played in the
Super Bowl that aren't going to be here next year for one reason or another.
And I know folks sort of balk at, you know, at that
suggestion that there's going to be so much turnover. But this is I think
the cold reality is about to set in of what happens when you have a
quarterback who's making so much more money. He just the way age creeps up
so quickly in this league, the realities of the salary cap. And I
also think the unfortunate reality that the team is about to be broken apart a
little bit without them having won the title. But I think there are a
lot of guys who have been so central to this franchise is turnaround, it's
rebranding, that are going to be playing in front of Bengals hands for the
last time tomorrow. I think if there's any motivation beyond just wanting to do
your job, well, it's sending those players off as winners. Well,
since they do have a history, maybe they can put Tyler Boyd in on
defense since he's caught passes from Jeff Crisco before he could do it again.
MO, have a fantastic weekend and happy New Year, my friend you too,
man? Thank you all right? Mike Allen's counselor what's going on,
Bud? How you doing man? How was your New year? It was
great? It kind of low key, didn't do much. How about you?
Really? No, I was asleep before midnight. No human sacrifices like
most years. No, you know, my old man had the right idea,
He said, New Year's Eve amateur Hour. Well, yeah, it
is my least favorite holiday that everybody celebrates by far. It used to be
a big deal, but not anymore. It's just like, can all this
stuff get over with? It's kind of like Vegas. Do it once,
get it over exactly, and you can leave it for everybody else. So
what's on the show this morning. I'll tell you what. We are definitely
going to be talking about President Unity's announcement kickoff speech yesterday. I'll tell you
in a word, it was pathetic, the most negative, hateful, vilifying
speech that I think I've heard from him. That's not a big surprise.
Also, going to talk to a guy by the name of Ken Kober.
You might not know the name, but he's the new president of the FOP,
succeeding Dan Hills. Okay, we're gonna talk to Steve Goodin about what
happened yesterday with the efforts to kick Trump off the ballot and the United States
Supreme Court saying they're going to hear the case. YEP, oral arguments will
be heard February eighth in the Kyllero case before the Supreme Court, and if
they rule nine zero as many legal scholars at predictla or eight to one.
It's an overwhelming rejection of what Colorado did unconstitutionally and what the Secretary of State
of Maine did unilaterally kicking the president off the ballot for something that he hasn't
been convicted of. Yeah, they initiate law fair stuff like that. But
Donald Trump is the threat to democracy. Go figure hardly. Yeah, all
right, go maga, Go have a fantastic weekend, have a great show.
And after the show, show it huddles. If you want to come
on by and breathe the weather, we will be there. I wish I'd
gotten treated for my rectile dysfunction sooner. Men. I hear this all the
time from our patients
