Hang on so bad, So they hang out go so bad. So then
oh hey hie, oh stooping please in a very bad for the chance and
everybody times a good man snoopy down stoopay. I don't care what you daddy
do because you know, snoop maker, I'm in love with you. And
so I said, now so bad, So they hang out hang go so
bad. Born in a place called Fort Recovery, Ohio, near Selina,
moved to Indiana with his brothers family and formed a band called the McCoys doing
a song written by someone else. It became a number one hit for that
band, Rick Randy the McCoys, And it had its origins I am told,
and I've done the research, and so is a friend named Ron Stephen
in the Columbus area. That it has ties to cater Illinois and Nashville,
Tennessee. And a black groupe named the Vibrations who this song was based upon,
that did a song called My Girl Sloopy in nineteen sixty four, full
year before Derringer, Lorn Rick Zeringer and the McCoys took it to number one.
So anyway, happy birthday to Rick Derringer and Moore on the Man Who's
seventy six to day with Jim Labarber, the music Professor, a little bit
later on this morning, before we take a look ahead, a look back
at significant events and people tied to this particular date in history, including but
not limited to these. Eighteen sixty four, during the Terrible Civil War in
this country, the Union Admiral David Farragut led his fleet to victory in the
Battle of Mobile Bay, Alabama. Twenty years later, the cornerstone for the
statue of Liberty's Pedestal was laid on Bedloe's Island, New York Harbor. Nineteen
fourteen on this state, what's to believe to be the first electric traffic light
system installed in Cleveland at the intersection of East hundred and fifth Street and Euclid
Avenue. So it's only been a hundred and nine years since we had electrification
in a major city in this country or anywhere. Jesse Owens won the two
hundred meter dash at the Berlin Olympics, much to Adolf Hitler's chagrin, collecting
the third of his four gold medals. The year was nineteen thirty six this
day. In nineteen fifty three, Operation Big Switch began as remaining prisoners taken
during the Korean War exchange at Panmun Jam. Looking down the list here more
historical and hysterical facts. American Bandstand debuted with Dick Clark, first time on
the network in nineteen fifty seven. To day, This is the day in
nineteen sixty two, the South African anti apartheid activist Nelson Mandela arrested on charges
of leaving the country without a passport. He would stay in the clink for
twenty seven years of imprisonment. Also the day in nineteen sixty two that Marilyn
Monroe was found dead at a bungalow in La Her death ruled a probable suicide
from acute barbiturate poisoning. There are others who want to insist that Marilyn Monroe
was killed. Pilot Everett Alvarez Junior became the first American flyer to be shot
down and captured by North Vietnam. The year was nineteen sixty four. Ten
years later, the White House released transcripts of subpoened tape recordings during the President
Nixon and his Chief of Staff hr Holdeman had discussed a plan in June of
nineteen seventy two to use the CIA to thwart the FBI's Watergate investigation. Oh,
doesn't it get convoluted? Nineteen eighty one. This was the day that
the first air traffic controllers were fired by the federal government after Ronald Reagan told
him, you can't strike. It's illegal. If you go on strike,
you won't have jobs. And you know what they didn't about time put to
put the put the boot heel in the back of the union's neck. That's
what I say, not really. And other famous folks celebrating birthdays on this
August fifth, outside of the aforementioned Rick Arringer, college Football Hall of Famer
and former NFL star Roman Gabriel eighty three today, Bobby Braddock, a great
country music writer, has a birthday today. Lonnie Anderson, once of WKRP
in Cincinnati, fame Ericus Lezac, the actress Rick Arringer. We mentioned Holly
Palace singer Samantha sang and she did Eddie Ohida of Twisted Sisters sixty eight.
Today. Marine McCormick turned sixty seven, Pat Smear, David Balducci, Baldacci,
Baldacci. You see it, Baldacci and say it like that basketball Hall
of famer Patrick Ewing, How about that sixty one years young today, James
Gunn Jonathan Silverman. Oh gosh, that's enough. That's more than enough.
It's five forty two. If it's your special day, it's your birthday.
I hope it is the best day possible and you get to spend it with
people that you know and love and like to hang around. I just hope
it's a fantastic day for you. Everybody deserves that at least once a year.
Five forty two. And we'll check the forecast and what is passing for
sports this morning? If you're a redspan, coming right up on seven hundred
WLWO this morning at nine, Mike Allen bites the latest way for ridiculousness with
karate like discipline on seven WLW. Your forecast as follows, a hot one
today, sunny eighty eight for the high temp, a chance of showers and
storms moving in overnight, and a chance of shower showers and worms early on
Sunday, mostly cloudy otherwise eighty five. The showers will continue to kind of
propagate and precipitate all over the Tri State on Sunday night as we close out
the weekend. But a great day to day it is seventy five s WLW
Sport now four in a row in the losing skid for the Cincinnati Reds.
Last night at GABP, a ninety percent capacity crowd, I mean, another
good crowd for a Friday night fireworks and all of the rest saw the Reds
lose to the Washington national six to three. The final score. It was
a Reds lead until the eighth inning when Graham Ashcraft gave up a two run
shot to tie the game. And then it just descended into it and even
the almost always reliable Alex Diaz gave up the go ahead runs and well that
was the end of it. In the tenth the Reds and Nationals go back
at it today. Four ten is the first pitch. Three ten the inside
pitch. And as he may have heard in the news, Joe Mixon is
now being sued by the family of the teenager who got shot at his house.
Joe didn't shoot him, and Joe had a gun, but he legally
carried a gun. Apparently his sister's boyfriend did not, so Joe they think
is on the hook for this. I see a settlement coming. It's five
forty four and I'm Gary Jeff Walker. This is a Saturday morning edition and
I am almost awake. News Radio seven hundred wl W Experience the Science of
clean Maman, how are you? You know what? I'm feeling better every
moment and just hear in your voice gave me that extra oof of energy I
needed to get me up and over the hump's ears. Good. Yes,
it is good. So what's going on? Man? What's happening up there
in the Miami County area, Dick, Miami County or the Montgomery Well,
yeah, we got to the Stummers have another show at the u Jenior Citizen.
It's in Incarnation off forty eight Thursday and byand got back. As I
told you, the club was closed two weeks because of air and we we
had a pretty good time. We had about eighteen of us. You know
that was good. And then, uh, but when when the air conditioning
goes out, I guess uh, banjo players, just like anybody else,
could get pretty uncomfortable and pretty smelly. What does it smell like when there's
no air conditioning in your practicing? Dick? Well, that's they they completely
went the I went. They don't even let people in. They just say
that it's canceled and the next practice would have been last week, which we
did. You know, so you can't you can't distinguish between you know,
just the smell of inside the building and because you're not allowed in the building,
and the smell of a banjo. Now, does a banjo player smell
different than a a mandolin player? Gender? No, there they all They
all still smell the stain. Yeah, we need to get some h What
were you gonna say, Dick, go ahead, I'm hoping to come out
of this show. Well, I was just gonna tell you. Our friend
Dave from Dayton says, we need some positive Dick mojo to get our Reds
back on track. Will we win? Will we win the next two games
against the lowly Nationals? Dick? Will we? Yes? Yes, Well
that's the answer, that's the definitive answer we needed Dick as always. It's
a pleasure, my friend. Yes, and uh, I mean you get
a chance this weekend, take some time and smell a banjo player. Say
good night, Say good night, Dick, good night. He never says
it. He says good night, Gary, Jeff. It just doesn't take
instruction. Well, what's passing for news? Coming up? On seven hundred
WLW. If you're suffering and there's this ninety degrees, humidity stays relatively low.
Not the case tomorrow, though. A few showers and storms are going
to push through the area along with rising humidity, expected to feel like the
low nineties in the afternoon. From a severe Weather station, I'm nine first
Morning Meteorologist Cameron Harden on news Radio seven hundred WLW. The radar showing clearer
conditions across our Tri state area. Right now, it's sixty nine degrees our
next update at six thirty, I'm Taren Johnson, News Radio seven hundred WLW
News twenty four Hours a Day was a Radio seven hundred WLW into the first
official hour of the Saturday morning edition for Saturday, August fifth, twenty twenty
three. Gary Jeff Walking with You on seven hundred w l W Day from
Harrison is a wall to this point, which some people consider a positive thing.
So I will go ahead and fill this segment with something I wanted to
talk about anyway this morning, and that is, of course, Issue one,
which you just heard about in the news, You've been hearing about on
TV and in commercials for months now, and for the first kind of month
or two of this particular special election campaign. All you heard was vote no.
They're trying to take away your voice, your vote, one person,
one vote. It will no longer exist if Issue one passes, which was
all bs and the other side, the vote yes side in Ohio, which
are more homegrown folks in the legislature. Well, they Liam that maybe,
Dave, they say that, why shouldn't there be a supermajority? Liam,
you want to get the phone. This is what there you go. That's
my guy. A sixty percent majority on any referendum that would change Ohio's constitution.
Now, almost every other state has a supermajority built in to changing the
cost something as important as changing a state's constitution. The laws by which we
live in the state of Ohio and the federal constit the United States Constitution requires
percent of the states and two thirds of the House to pass any law that
would change the constitution of the United States. They're called amendments. This is
how we do it in this country. So why rely on fifty percent of
the vote plus one person? That could be easily manipulated. And we've seen
how easily elections can be manipulated in this country lately, so that the true
will of the people is not the outcome of set election. So I don't
have a dog in the fight except that I'm on the radio in Cincinnati,
Ohio on SEVENLW. But I would say, if the choice were up to
me, the more the better. When it comes to something as important as
changing the constitution of the state, the laws by which we live, we
want to have at least sixty percent of the voters saying, Okay, this
is what we should do. And west side Jim, our friend, west
side Jim keeper right now, who is a truck commander once again for the
Hamilton County Board of Elections, heading out to do his job, and maybe
we'll talk to him a little bit later on about issue one and the election.
Like I said, I don't live in Ohio. I work here,
I'm on the air here, I talk to you all the time, and
you live in Ohio, many of you. I would recommend the more people
agreeing to change the constitution something as important as that, the better. Let's
just not just leave it down to a simple one person majority, which again
can be manipulated or bought or stolen, as we saw in twenty twenty,
as we saw in twenty twenty two. Don't let this election and turn out
for God's sake. That's the most important message I can give you. If
you've not voted yet an issue one, you've got this weekend to do it,
today and tomorrow and then Tuesday. Get out and vote, because if
you don't, what you're left with is the women the will of real special
interests who really don't give one iota about you, and in this case,
all they care about is propping up their abortion industry, which of course is
profiting off of the murder of human babies. Uh. That being said,
on that cheerful note, we'll move on. I believe Dave is finally on
the line. We'll get to him and old Radio Rick before this half hour's
done. Ten minutes past the hour, seven hundred WLW. In eighteen oh
four, Lewis and Clark set out on a western expedition to the Pacific Ocean.

You didn't Yeah, well you didn't. You didn't wait that late,

telling you to get off my phone by six ten, and now it's already
six sixteen. You see that You've you've totally screwed the the time continuum.

old radio Rick. Thank thank you so much for calling old radio Rick.
Good morning. How are you? Good morning? I got a gift for
Day two. Antennas got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception
was excellent. A little better, I guess every everybody, everybody. This
is the best thing about having day from Harrison on is that people are now
texting and phoning and emailing in really terrible one liners. Oh great, Yeah,
it's an avalanche of god. Why did I wake up this morning so
real? Quickly? What are you listening to us on? And how are
you receiving us? And all of that other good stuff. Previously on the
Gary Jeff Walker Show, I talked a couple of weeks ago about a General
Electric that was a rebranded RCIA. That's Kurtz and it was full of goo
because our CIA decided to put tar on everything, and I had to where
surgical goes. Anyways, you're coming in five by five on this beauty,
and the thanks for a lot of folks that makes them some wonderful reproduction parts,
and the fact that this cabinet was in great sheet to start with.
I did just want to mention that this ninety seven dollars and fifty cent radio
from nineteen thirty four, that's over twenty two hundred bucks today. It has
two short wave bands count them with me, long wave band and an AM
band and going to the catalog apparently to the ge marketing department, that equals
five bands. Whoops, it's only four. I checked the switch and it
has an oriental wood cabinet whatever that is. But dying it's it's it's pretty,
and I think Kurch gonna love seeing back in its original glory. Well,
I don't think oriental is actually politically correct anymore, is it? I
know you're church geographically accurate anymore. I don't really know what I'd love to
use the word. We can't define it right, So you know, I'm
not a big fan of banning any word. I understand I could lose my
job if I use sir words. On the air. But just as a
general practice, we've gone way way overboard in this country with limiting language and
it sucks and using words you don't know the definition too. I don't mean
you personally, but if you don't know what it means, don't say it
super califragilistic, xpialidocious or I can spell that actually, but I have absolutely
no idea what it means. Have a wonderful weekend, Ricky Okay, all
right, bye bye, six twenty one SEVENLW. Listening to Scott Sloan protects
me from shark attacks. People have made some strange claims about the Scot Sloan
show. Listening to Scott Sloan has made me thirty percent more attractive. We
can promise you that Sloaney talks about the things you are talking about, always
ask the tough questions, but never forgets to have a little fun. Listening
has healed my bleeding guns. Anything else is a Sloaney bonus. Listening has
made much more smarter Scott Sloan, I swear it's true. Monday morning at
nine on seven hundred WLW, the Reds used document destruction. You should too.
Let document destruction come to your office and tear it up seven seven,

but odds of you needing umbrella are high, as it will be feeling like

Morning Meteorologist Cameron Harden on news radio seven hundred WLW seven hundred of WLW sports
penalty kicks the signs FC Cincinnati's fate in the league's cump action against Nashville last
night at TQL Stadium, and the results not good. A one one game
turns into a five four Nashville victory and penalty kicks and uh oh FC Cincinnati
out of the league's Cup tournament. Now, the Reds not out of contention
in the NL Central, out of first place by about a half game thanks
to Milwaukee's loss to Atlanta, but the Reds couldn't gain any ground with a
six three loss to the Washington Nationals in the game opener of that series last
night at GABP. Game two this evening at actually this afternoon four ten three

LW and if you've not been paying attention to Joe Mixon now being sued by
the family of the team who was shot at Joe Mixon's house by the boyfriend
of Joe Mixon's sister, and the saga continues. Twenty five and seven.
Lw as I mentioned election day early voting going on today and tomorrow in Hamilton
County in the state of Ohio on Issue one, the contentious constitutional amendment issue.
And the man who was out delivering the votes, he's he's not influencing
the votes on it or changing the votes, I don't think. But he's
a truck commander. His name is west Side Jim Kiefern. He joins us
now, Good morning west Side, Jimmy, Hello Gary, Jeff, and
we got Dan. Saint Charles is also a commander. Buddy Well, Fanny,
that's the food critic from New York, right, Yeah, that's the
food critic from New York. Yeah. See. Hey, by the way,
I want to get this hit real quick. My prediction. I got
a call from Dick from Dayton on the Bengal game twenty seven, twenty four
Bengals. That was his prediction almost every game last year exactly. That's why
this figured like savings. So I mean, and I got to go ahead
start, well, I want to know, do you know what's the voter
turnout been on this special election issue so far? Uh? Well, it's
actually been pretty decent. I mean, the mail ends have been above what
the predictions were going to be. I'm heading out there this morning. I
understand that, you know, the Democrats are out here flipping people off,
yelling about your family. They put it in a pen for a reason out
here at the BOEUM. But I'm here. Instead of you know, the
eight or ten percent horrible um, you might get a fifteen to eighteen percent,
which is still disgusting. Yeah. I mean, if it's as important
as how we view the law in Ohio and how the Constitution has changed the
document by which our laws are based in the Buckeye State, if if you
if you can't care enough about that, then there's no reason for you ever
to vote for anything. I mean on an issue this important is pathetic.
I guarantee that most of the people that are out here that are holding enough
signs and flipping people off and that don't know a dagon thing about Issue one,
just like the people are going to work in the polls to say,
the Democrats get paid to work the polls, and I've talked to these people.
They don't even vote. I mean they just say that we get paid,
we get fifty bucks and we hand out or hold off a sign.
So the disenfranchised voter is really prevalent anymore. Plus the fact that you got
eighty percent probably of people that don't even get off the couch to vote,
much less mail it in. I wan, you've got so many opportunities before
the election and you can mail it in, and god knows, you know.
I just don't trust a mail in vote. I don't trust absentee ballots.
I don't trust early voting. I think that do you vote on election
day, and that's that should be agreed. But as a truck commander,
you get paid to go and deliver the ballots places and take the ballots away
from the voting places. So I'm all in favor of you getting paid as
much as possible. Jim Well, I mean in a central place and they
come to me, you know, Oh it's even don't bount out and kiss
the ring, but it gives me more money to tip a guy over a
six twenty eight Mama Street Bay, let's get there. That's an excellent point
and we'll see you soon. Thank you so much for your call this morning
and your hard work for the Hamilton County Board of Elections. West Side Jim
a truck commander along with Dan Saint Charles out literally getting out to vote on
the special issue election one issue thing Tuesday, and it's going on all weekend.

This morning, Steve from Eton, Ohio with a pithy phone calling news of
the week straight ahead on seven hundred WLWN during WLW Cincinnati, available everywhere with
the iHeartRadio app down number one podcasting WLF and iHeartRadio station on how Rude Tanta
Rito's the Full House Rewatch podcast doink. While still wondering why Hillary Clinton has
never faced a federal indictment for claiming an election was stolen our friends, Steve
from ettn Ohio has plenty of news and notes from the week that was,
and a fifthy phone called, good morning, Stephen, how are you?
I am wonderful. Do you think Hillary will start her prison term for doubting
the outcome of the twenty sixteen election before the twenty four election? Do you
think she'll face trial in prison? Let me see, let me get my
Vegas odds here zero? Yes, there you go, Please go ahead this
week, Gary, Jeff, I know you were talking to was at West
Side Jim, Yes about the election? Right on? I am it's just
incredible. How many people won't vote. Well, let me give you a
reason for voting on Issue one. All you need to know on Issue one
came this week not from a person in Ohio, but from Kami Harris,
socialist surfer girl turned incoherent VP in an incompetent administration. Speaking in the People's
Republic of Wisconsin, where I used to live, she repeated her war cry
on children abortion after childbirth, Yes, after childbirth, he haw. That's
not abortion counselor look it up in the dictionary if you can find one.
It's in fantaside. She is the poster girl for no on Issue one in
Ohio. Let's go further. I looked up this week one of my favorites.
We mentioned her on the show I think about two years ago, Lannie
Gwiner. Yes, Lannie sadly died last year. We mentioned her because Bill
Clinton nominated her to be the head of the Civil Rights Division, God Almighty,
the Justice Department thirty years ago, and then he had to withdraw the
nomination. Here I'll explain that in a second. Here's the New York Times
obit from last year on Lannie, and it ran on and ran on,
and I will try not to run on. She argued that the principle of
one man, one vote was insufficient in a system where the interests of minorities,
racial or otherwise. I have no idea what otherwise means were inevitably trampled
by those of the majority. Read that white people and that all her natives
needed to be considered to give more weight to minority interest She proposed a variety
of alternatives, like cumulative voting, in which some people get a number of
votes. Not mentioned in this obituary was her proposal, and this is what
got her nomination thrown out, for giving extra votes to black folks at the
polls to redress their grievances, you know, like a black person gets five
and a white person gets one. I think they already do that in Philadelphia,
But please go. I think you're right, But guess what. I
also went back to the New York Times story thirty years ago on the unmitigated
mess they called it, and that Clinton is inept in choosing nominees, referring
to one Lanny gwiner, boy, how times have changed? Quote poorly written,
referring to her writings on voting rights, provocative and easy to caricature,
by guys like me. I guess she was a buddy of Bill and Hillary's
at Yale Law School. By the way, that's how they knew her.
Bill withdrew the domination, calling her comments unfortunate and perhaps undemocratic. Wow,
thirty years ago the New York Times told the truth and now they can't.
Well, let's get a little softer now. The word of the week,
Garry Jeff This comes courtesy of Jay Ratliffe. I love j Ratliffe volume metric.
Now. I will come back to that word in just one moment.
That. This is courtesy of British Airways via our airlined guru, Jay Ratliffe.
Jay reported this week that a British Airways plane sat on the concrete six
and a half hours waiting for a hoist to remove a passenger stuck in his
seat following landing of the aircraft. Yes, there are jumbo jets and jumbo
passengers. The door of the plane had to be removed to accommodate the hoist.
British Airways used volume metric in a press release to explain the problem.
You know, you can't say fat, right, you can't say fat.
This gives rise to a new word describing Washington, DC crime metric or Hunter
Biden coke metric or Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen spend metric. Our debt rating was
downgraded this week and Janet cannot explain why. Hey, I can't, Janet?
How about debt metric? And I got an email this morning from Abe
Lincoln at heaven dot com and he congratulated me on reaching four score. Yes,
I reached four score at one oh seven pm this afternoon. Hey,
here is a trivia for you. You mentioned Rick Derringer right born in Fort
Recovery, and mentioned so Lina. By the way, thank you very much
for doing that. I'm going to be up there on Monday. You know,
very very famous for hang On Sloopy, the rock theme of the state
of Ohio. I got a question for the entire audience, particularly those who
are really old like me. Is he related to Ray Derringer, who was
the backcourt partner of Jim Paxson with the Dayton Flyers in the nineteen fifties,
Because I remember I used to listen to all those games. Ray Darringer was
from Saint Mary's, Ohio. So that's my question. All the timers,
the question I can answer for you is well, no, probably not,
because Rick his last name was actually Zeringer, Rick and Randy Zeringer and then
the name was changed to Darringer later. Oh how sad? Okay, I
lose anyway, That's that's kind of the that's kind of the deal for this
week. But what folks, if you can't read that constitution oldma here in
Ohio and decide for yourself and understand what's going on, you're you're you're not
in any shape to vote in twenty twenty four either. Well, Steve,
Steve, here's here's another thing that I did not mention earlier. The other
thing that Issue one does, if if it passes, it means that all
eighty eight counties have to have petitions to get something on the ballot. Why
wouldn't everyone in the state have to participate in getting things on the ballot if
they're going to vote on it later? Exactly? I also heard this week
that a lot of states don't even allow people to vote on constitution amendments.
That's true. Okay, thank you very much, Hey, thank you to
day. Hey, happy birthday, Thank you very much, sir. Bye
bye eighty today. Good for him, God bless him. I take a
break and come back. This is this Saturday morning edition. I'm Gary Jeff
Walker, and I'm wearing pants. Is it possible to treat the home,
not just my cancer? Can you tailor treatment to me? Of course?
The most important part of your cancer treat passing for the News and seven Right
now, our friend Ray in Loveland is back. Good morning, Raymond.
How are you all right? My brother Gary Jeff. You're sounding fantastic this
morning. Just the wealth of comedy and information that is paralleled in the radio
waves across this great nation. So thank you, well, thank you for
those wonderful superlatives. What's on your mind? Brother, Well, I want
to say, first of all, subliminally, I want to say, vote
yes on issue one. Vote yes on issue one, and we should have
the same set up on the state constitution as the Democratic Party has to pass
their own party constitution. They have the same set up as we're wanting to
have for the state of Ohio. So you're telling me that Democrats require sixty
percent of their members to approve any kind of change to what platform and the
like? That is correct to rock and roll Hu Chiku, Gary Jeff,
Yes, Rick Darren Share yea A Happy birthday Steve. By the way,
A very happy birthday to Steve. Wow. So what, well, why
do you think they're pushing so hard? I think it's the outside the state
money and the planned parenthoods and the abortion industry that is pushing the no vote
on this and one hundred percent of wonder that if they can flip Ohio,
they think they can flip every state across this country and circumvent circumvent my friend,
as Barack Obama said that the highest court in the land has ruled,
and they want to take a backdoor approach and circumvent the highest court in the
land, which is the Supreme Court of the United States of America. Right,
that's what they're trying to do state by state. Well, and you
know, the mutilation of children called gender affirming care for minors and all the
rest of the stuff that goes with Issue one. People need to carefully consider
not be confused by all of the dishonesty and the millions of dollars that has
been spent from out of state resources to lie to the voters of Ohio.
And I hope they all show up. Ray, thank you for showing up.
As always, my friend, I love you and have a great weekend.
God bless your brella. All right, thank you very much. Uh
yeah, let's break and come back, because that's what we do here.
Seven hundred WLW for Adolph with moderate to severe plex arise. This board candidates
for systemic or phototherapy. Now there's skyrizzy hues. The lads forecast, Well,
it'll be another hot one out there today as tempters climbed to the upper
eighties. Good news. This humidity still remains relatively low. Not the case
tomorrow, though. Showers and storms are going to start to sneak in.
They'll be scattered, but odds of you needing umbrella are high as it will
be feeling like the low nineties with the humidity from a severe weather station.
I'm nine first Warning Meteorologist Cameron Harden on news radio seven hundred WLW. A
little bit of clear sky, sixty nine degrees right now. I'm Sandy Collins.

twenty twenty three. I'm Gary Jeff Walker. You are you, and
that's perfectly fine with me. And if you're wrong, I'll let you know.
You don't worry about that. If you're wrong, I'll tell you that
you're wrong, and I'll tell you why you're wrong, and we'll agree that
I'm right and everything will be fine. Uh. It's time to talk to
our friend, environmental engineer Steve Schulte with the straight dope on climate as always,
UM, no indoctrination, just education here on Saturday morning, Steve,
how are you my friend better not deserve as Gary Jeff. Thank you very
much, Yes, sir, yes sir. All right, we're talking about
El Nino this morning and the New York City blackouts, and I think you've
got some good information for us on those fronts. Well, let's talk about
New York City. This comes from one of my rags that I get to
being a retired engineer, called smart Brief for Civil Engineers, but actually comes
from the New York Times. Just a summary of the article. It says
New Yorker's advised to get ready for a blackout. Twenty years to pass since
New York City at a major blackout, but it's time to get ready for
another one, says Zach High School, the city's commissioner of Environmental Management or
excuse me for emergency management. Among other things, cities residents are advised to
set aside a two day supply of water and register with the city's public messaging
system for most days. It takes five point five giggle watts to keep New
York City humming in the summer, though demand can reach ten giggle watts.
He says, the power reliability our forecast to begin dropping this year be very
twenty twenty five and continue dropping to twenty thirty. So here's a state that
shuts down fossil fuel power plants, nuclear power plants. US made it illegal
for new natural gas lines to go in through the state or whatnot, no
new fracking or whatnot. And you know we're supposed to have um you know
that so called renewable resources of solar and wind will do everything and be cheaper
and more reliable, and which just is a know of the example of they're
wrong. Yeah, you want a reliable power, you need fossil fuels,
you need nuclear. That's that's the reality. Yeah, whatever happened to me,
what happened to the all in approach on everything. Whatever happened to that?
I mean and you, you and I are amenable to solar and wind
where it is efficient and where it does not destroy the environment like a lot
of the plans they've got. Now for us, we're also believe and because
it's true. But the technology we have you can burn coal, and you
can burn I mean liquid natural gas. It's it's some of the cleanest energy
on the planet. There's no reason to exclude it unless you have for that
nasty except for that nasty little molecule that spot is causing all the problems carbon
dioxide, Yeah, which which the earth, which the Earth needs plenty of
to continue to exist. But anyway, go ahead, what you got it?
What else did you have on an El Nino, Steve, we got
an just let people know, well a little this is just a little education
because this is gonna be coming up. Alnino's the warm phase of what it's
called the Alninio Southern Oscillation, and it deals with the band of warm water
that develops in the s central and Eastern Pacific Ocean along the equator. So
basically it starts around northern off the coast of Northern Australia and eastern Indonesia flows
easterly, basically just blow the equator until it hits Central America and South America.
And it now appears that one is developing. And why is this important
Because in past El Ninia's were associated with increasing atmospheric temperature increases. It has
a counterpart called el la Nina's lah ninyas, which are linked to cooling phases.
So but bear in mind that those promoting a looming man made catastrophic climate
crisis assert that all warming is caused by increasing SA twos. Well it's not.
It's also caused by mother nature. And one of the things mother nature
does increased temperatures, particularly for us in the North and South America, is
El Nino. So that's something to consider in the next couple of years as
people are talking about the high temperatures and so on so forth. But what's
interesting in this article this comes from CO two Coalition, one of your favorite
organizations, uh the during nineteen ninety one in nineteen ninety five, the El
Ninos, which are uh you know I have the very um great impact on
temperatures of the air and make it higher. During those two years, the
air temperature actually cooled that I would say, well, why well, they
suspect twin eruptions of Mount Pinatubo and Mount Hudson. Mount nineteen ninety one Mount
Pinatubo in the Philippines put more particulates into the air then all human kind had
created in the history of human beings on the planet. In nineteen ninety five
Mount Hudson. Yes, go ahead, Yeah, I remember one of the
years, I think it was it to Mount in the Tubeau. We basically
had a summer that never was yep. And I remember hearing radio and TV
newscasts that the water parts, you know, throughout the United States and in
Cincinnati, we're having a terrible year because you know, we weren't hitting the
upper eighties and nineties, we're drawing, you know, where people flocked in
the water parks. We were kind of in the upper seventies and lower raighties
and people's desth didn't go indeed. But nature, thank you, Steve.
Mother. Nature is a big, in fact, the biggest part playing when
it comes to what our environment, what our climate is, because that's what
climate is, it's nature seven twelve seven WLW No, that's amazing. Egyptians
had pregnancy tests as far back as thirteen fifty BC. Women would relieve themselves
on wheat and barley seeds. If the wheat grew, it meant a baby
girl, if the barley crew a boy. In nineteen sixty three, this
c theory was tested and it was accurate seventy percent of the time. No,
speaking of amazing, check out Eddie and Rocky. They have the fun
times you're looking for after a long day. No that Eddie and rock Monday
afternoon at three seven hundred WLW. Yes, Yes, Oh, I needed

Jeff, time to get physical with the dawn of the first family of fitness
in Covington, Kentucky. Roco Costa, who joins us once again, Good
morning, don How are you? How you do? Jeff? And that
visual just really that hurts? Rocco. I have a I have I have
a message for you from Kim at Spring Spring Creek Farm who called in wanted
to deliver. She hasn't seen you for a while. Covington, the food
market or the whatever, the farmer's market. Yeah, she has she has
a gift for you and you need to come out and see her. Okay,
oh so now you get a conduit for messages. Yeah, so so
this I was I was talking with my producer Liam about this. I said,
so, now people are calling, people are calling and leaving messages for
the guests to appear on the program like I'm your Like, I'm your friggin
secretary. What's the world coming though? Yeah? Wow, well apparently it's
coming. It's coming to Rocco. You're you're you're in Asheville, right,
Ashville, North Carolina. Went Spot Race and uh we're literally at the starting
line of the spot and race. So it may get it may get a
little loud. But what did you want to talk about today? I just
I just hope, I just hope that you would just pop open with something.
And and now we've got about it. We've got about a minute left,
So give me a minute of good information. I really want to well,
I really want people to understand a melotonin and what a melotonin does and
what it doesn't do. A melatonin as a supplement is literally the worst thing
that you could possibly use as as a sleep aid. O. Uh,
too many people are accouting a melotonin as a sleep aid. And actually a
melotonin um as the hormone is an alarm. It's not a sleeping It doesn't
help you go to sleep. It's it's actually an alarm that tells you that
you have to go to sleep. So so and denis scene is what creates
sleep pressure and makes you go to sleep. So if you're taking a melatonin
supplement, uh, you would want to take it during the day. And
most people don't even need a melatonin supplement because are there so many foods that
have a melatonin in it already, specifically a pistachios So if you're getting a
good you know, a good amount of a pistachios because I love a pistachios
um, so I don't really need. So you're telling people if they want,
if they want a better sleep pattern, they should get cracking, get
cracking, geta get cracking. You know what else? You know? One
knowls helped me sleep back in the day, and you would never recommend it,
uh, Jack Daniels, Jack Daniels usually really really helped me sleep.
Rocco actually awesome, all right, Rocco have a wonderful time at the Spartan
Race and bring us a full report. And whenever you get back to town,

the final straw. The Couda Craw, Nick Sonzel and La La Cruz and
Matt McLean Mighty Might Matt McLean all hit home runs early in the game to

A monkey got loose in an airport. It happened in Malaysia. He went
crazy, running around, climbing on the luggage conveyor and swiping food from people

so there's a zoo in China that is fighting back against reports that their
star Malaysian sun Bear, is actually just a man in a suit. The
zoo says that it's just the way that it stands that it makes it look
like a human and if it was a man in a suit due to the
heat, that person would pass out in no time. But that doesn't stop
the speculation. On social media, what little of it there is in China,

Seven hundred w l W. Rock and Roll Archaeology, reg Presley and the
Drugs and Jim Lavarba, the music Professor. Good morning, Bram How are
you good morning? Good morning Jeff number one number one this week in nineteen
sixty six. A song you have to Go Back. Kip Taylor wrote the
song. John Boy the actor Midday Cowboy John Boys. His brother, Chip
Taylor wrote the song. John Boy's brother wrote the song. Yeah, Chip
Taylor. Now, the biggest thing he wrote was Angel the Morning you know
when you when you look back. As far as the song, this was
kind of a joke. He told me, it's just this kind of a
throwaway thing. Chimbol Burton, Richard Burton's wife. They got the voice and
she married this young walkin will singer in New York, Jordan Christopher did a
band called The One One and she had the place called Arthur's in New York,
predecessor this studio fifty four, the hottest club in New York. And
she had this young husband. She needed a song for Jordan the record.
So they got Chipped Taylor who write the song. And when he went on
me okay, they who knocked it out. Like the next day. They
had this song and went to the studio and actually when he when he did
the demo, the basic three chord song, he didn't take it very seriously
and he was on the floor laughing when he was done singing it. And
the pauses that you heard and the hesitations of the result of he said to
me, I talked to him. He said he didn't he didn't know where
he was going. He was gonna go next, so he paused and they
recorded the song Jordan Christopher. Nothing happened. But in England that this group
the Trogs heard the song and miss took is matter of fact. They thought
they heard whistling in the song in the different breaks, and that's an ocarina,
and then when happen, bought an acarina and put the accorina in there.
So they record the song in like in ten minutes. It's the flip
side another B side of a record, and then it comes out on a
record. Two different labels had it add To Records, and Fontana Records released
it sigmultaneously, and the only time a number one song was on the charts
by two different labels, and that was that. It's a history correctly.
But Chip Taylor made a lot of money for this, tons of money because
it was recorded by so many people and constantly being used in movies, Teltis
and shows Who Won't Have You? And he used a lot of this money
to gamble, and for years he had been about ten thousand bucks a day.
You can see him Vegas. Eventually got kicked out of every casino in
Vegas for cardcowning and he has playing today. I understand that he's kicked that
habit, so well, good brand. Well that's and that's a wild story
too. Up next, another number one song, and this was actually a
gift from one friend to another. Oddly enough. Yeah, Now what happened
was James Taylor was playing. He was pretty hot. He had just Sweet
Baby James album and he's playing the Tribadour and he's the audience has come in
night after night. He's packing the place and he asked his friend Karl King
to be opening that and she rudgingly accepted this because she didn't like she wasn't
used to sing in her own songs. And one day she's doing a sound
check early on and she tried this song that she was going to do on
her upcoming album Tapestry, and he's listening in the bemphany. He likes the
song a lot, so when they get ready to record she's recording ironically at
the same time he is. She's doing Tapestry, he's doing the mud Slide
Slim album, and they're using some of the same part Joy Mitchell. They're
using the same personnel, but because they're friends, going back and forth.
And then he's doing the mud the mud Slide album and he needs another song
and producer Peter Asher said, how about that song that you liked that kells
You've got a Friend? So he tries it, loves his version, calls
up Garl King because he doesn't want to steal this from her, because he
knew that she was considering releasing him as a single, and she graciously grants
him permission, and the song becomes this giant million seller and twenty four year
old kids, he's sitting on top of the world with the number one hit
song Let's Got a Friend, Let's do It, one of my favorites written
by Carol King, made number one by her friend James Taylor. When you're
down and trouble and you need a helping man and nothing well nothing is going

W. If you've not had a chance to ever see the special the concert
with Carol King and James Taylor together back at the Troubadour again, the old
friends kind of thing I highly recommended. Jim La Barbara the Music Professor were
up to another number one record this week in what year? Nineteen seventy one,
nineteen seventy six, A commitment at one end at one edition shorts on
listening to us quinned James Taylor now Tayl King's never told the story, I
guess, but James Taylor always said that that was That was the song that
she wrote in response to a line in James Taylor's hits Firing Rain, that
the answer to I've seen lonely times when I could not find the friend in
his song Firing Rain, And that was her response to that. Chief Neighbor
really said that. She just said, you know, kind of a generic
thing. But looking at this day, say six a big number one record
for one week of the nineteen seventy six The Manhattans out of Jersey City a
song called Kiss and Say Goodbye, written by the bass singer in the group
Winfrid Love It. He wrote the song when he wrote up said, he
said, the lyrics came to him like at three o'clock in the morning,
jots down the things he wanted to say and put them together on his team
recording. Had a little piano and he said, you know, when he
writes a slow song, you have to have a meaning of message. And
it's the love travel situation. He said that a lot of people have been
through. But he wrote the song and he said, you know what,
this is a country's song. For a Glenn Campbell, maybe Charlie Pride and
Mats was trying to get the song too, and then eventually he she tried
it with his group, the Manhattan's, and the lead singer Gerald Austin,
just knocked it out and he comes in singing after Love's spoken in du Yeah,
the little recitation. Yeah, he didn't like it. He didn't like
the because he said that they were somehow the back ground vocals went off pitch
and this thing actually sat around Jerry jep for like a year before the Rupie
Company released it, probably because at that time it was concerned about dropping a
ballad during a disco explosion, and they didn't think it was gonna work.
But it sure did. Oh man, I don't care. You know a
little bit before my time in radio, I started in nineteen eighty, as
you mentioned, number one in nineteen seventy six for the Manhattans, but this
was still a huge hit when you went and played record hops or high school
dances or anything. Let's slow dance one time with the Manhattans. This has
got to be the saddest day of my life. I called you here today
for a bit of bad news. I won't be able to see you any
because of my obligations and the ties that you have. We've been meeting here
every day, and since this is our last beat together, I want to
hold you just one more time. When you turn and walk away, don't
look back. I want to remember, just like this. Let's just kiss
and see good line. I had to meet you here today. There's just
so many things to say. Please don't stop me, July, I'm through.
This is something I hate you. We've been meeting here so I guess
would be done. Please, Darling, don't you cry. Let's just kiss
and say, oh yeah, well, Jim. We we gotta, we
gotta get this last one in because it's our birthday boy today. Rick Zerringer,
I mean Derringer, miss you, Jerry Jeff Define six years old today.
Now here's a kid who've got a guitar electric guitar when he's nine years
old for his birthday and before he's eighteen seventeen years old, and he and
his buddies to have a number one record called hang On Sloopy. And then
from there he expands. He's hanging around New York and he gets together with
and he works with Edgar and Johnny Winner. It played the lead backing guitar
on both of the bands and produced all of their gold and platinum records,
including Edgar Winny's Big Hits, Frankenstein and Free Ride Back in seventy three,
and he's with Johnny Winner and he needs to write. Johnny Whinn wants to
do a rock and roll song, so he wrote this song for Johnny Winner
in nineteen seventy and Johnny Winner recorded this first with his band, and Rick's
on the record and manufact some of them. The Choris run this record too,
and it was it was his his idea to satisfy when Rick wrote this
the rock and roll that who's supposed to bring to this picture? And huciu
Huschi coup satisfied the king of the blues sensibility that Johnny Winner had and it
worked out okay. And then Rick Derringer recorded it for his album seventy seventy
three, All American Boy. He's on the guitar and bass tamperings things a
lead, didn't it becomes this this giant record he recorded out of the U
Cariboo ranch in California. And Huciku Hushiku is short for Huci Couci Hucci couci,
which is a sexual swing done by you know, popularized by way back
in the Blues much Waters of his song wh whosci couci May so he Darren
joined this song. It's finding the lady who really rights him up, and
he's looking forward to a little couci couci coup. Well, you know what,
if we're gonna play the song at all, we need to start now.

Well the latest on the Texas abortion ban. The judge they're ruling in favor
of women and their doctors, blocking Texas officials from enforcing the band for women
who have complications during their pregnancy, saying doctors are now shielded from prosecution for
abortion if they determined the pregnancy poses a risk to the patient's life. This
lawsuit against the state was filed earlier this year on behalf of two doctors and
thirteen women patients, including one who was forced to go full term with a
baby they knew would die shortly after birth from a fatal condition. Hope for
sufferers have postpartum depression, the FDA approving the first ever pill to treat it,
saying it's safe for women to take if they've recently had a baby and
are now experiencing postpartum depression symptoms, which can be devastating. The FDA is
also still considering whether or not to approve that pill for clinical depression, and
Joe Mixon now getting sued over that neighborhood shooting. Shawn GALLAGHERY has this story.
The family of the teen allegedly shot in the foot by the boyfriend of
Joe Mixon's sister, naming the Monte Brewer and Mixon in the suit seeking im
punitive damages for negligence and emotional distress, claiming Mixon gave Brewer the gun used
that night when Brewer under law, was not allowed to have one. It
also states that Mixon was told by the team about fifteen minutes before Brewer fired
multiple rounds that he and others would be playing nerve wars in the neighborhood,
but his sister, Salanda Mixon would inform him of people outside with guns as
Mixon fear for his life after getting recent social media death threats. Joe Mixon
had a gun on him during the incident, but did not fire it and
was allowed to have it. Brewer indicted on multiple charges, including felonious assault,
while Salanda Mixon also indicted, facing tampering with evidence and obstructing justice charges
after being seen on security video picking up shell casings in the yard. I'm

We'll be talking with our friend Mike Demass here in a little while.
But Dell High Skirt Game is coming up next week. It's a huge event.
It's been a controversial event in the last couple of years when it shouldn't
have been a controversy at all. And it continues to do fantastic work for
folks in del High Township. And it's a lot of fun too. Well,
we'll cover those bases in just a little while. Right now, it's
time for our friends Science Mike with a Science Minute of sorts. Yes,
as a night scientists been surprising if the Dell blinding me. Good morning,
Michael how are you um been a Delhi resident for fifty nine on my sixty
years on this planet, a Dell High resident for fifty nine of sixty years.
Have you ever attended the Skirt Game? Confirm or deny? I have
and I have photos with the Bengals to prove it. Photos with the Bengals
to prove it. Now, did you ever play in the skirt Game?
No? No, no, no, just just an observer. Well,
yeah, I've mentioned you do have a pretty mouth. So oh, chuck,
So what have you got for us this morning? Month? Tellyway,
So we kind of it's not in season for Easter or any like that,
but the Shroud of Turin has come out and made some news recently. I
don't know if you've seen this or not, but there's been a an individual,
Barry Schwartz. He was the original back in nineteen seventy eight, a
group of photographers that examined the shroud of the image and everything like that,
and then ten years later the shroud in nineteen In nineteen eighty eight, they
took a section, a little small, very small piece off the corner and
did some carbon fourteen dating, and those people at the time in nineteen eighty
eight, Day determined that it was only seven centuries old. But what has
taken twenty seven years, as Gentleman says, for them, for the British
Museum who funded and did the study, the carbon study in nineteen eighty eight,
to release the law of data of the of the of the of the
event. And what they found was that the sample and looking at the data,
the sample was actually contaminated and it wasn't an actual pure linen sample of
the shroud. It was a corner piece that was actually had foreign material from
a previous repair job on the shroud for whatever they you know, try to
try to fix them in everybody. I know it was in a fire and
things like that. But instead of taking I don't take the Vatican alluded,
but they really should have taken other control samples from different points on the shroud
to do a proper carbon study on it. So what they have found was
that this data, this information provided by the scientist was inaccurate. Carbon fourteen.
There's only so much radioactive carbon fourteen in the atmosphere, and linen in
like a tree, they absorbed the carbon fourteen and when it dies, it
stops absorbing carbon fourteen. So the linen and the and the shroud. So
there was a ratio that you look at when you do this carbon fourteen data
analysis. So when you have cotton that is much newer than the original linen
of the shroud, you get false information because your ratios are all off.
In essence, what you're saying from the sample they had, we have no
idea whether the shroud of Turan is actually Jesus Death shroud or not. We
still don't. Well, however, they have a due technique called wide angle
X ray scattering that the year ago and uh they pretty much confirmed based on
it that it's really two thousand years old. So it's okay. So so
it is of the date that they have they have thought all this time.
So it's interesting thing that came out foreign material on this corner as you as
you mentioned earlier, had kind of taken the carbon dating thing out of the
mix to determine if this is the actual death shroud of Jesus. I'm wondering
if I wonder if Mike Mike Lindell will come out with the geez sheets my
shroud, you know, can get some play on it. He will.
There's probably no question about at Michael. Thank you. Have a great weekend,
and don't forget the skirt game in your hometown next week. Seven hundred

Another loss for the Reds last night. That's four in a row at
Gap Final six to three and ten innings. It started well. Nixon,
Zell and Matt McClain both homered in the first inning. Ellie Dave la Cruz
made it three to zip in the third inning with a slam and the first
home runnings hit by the way right handed or left handed rather this year.
And then Lane Thomas and James Minisus of the Nationals spoiled the party, the
last coming in the tenth inning, a two run shot that sealed the deal
for the Nationals. The Reds try and get back on the winning track today
this afternoon at Great American Ballpark. Are inside pitch at three ten here in
the home of the Reds. At four ten the action and they play again
tomorrow at one forty. Also playing tomorrow the US women's team in the World
Cup against Sweden, an arch rival and this is winner go home time for
the girls. It doesn't matter what the final score is next Friday night in
del High Township, because the winner is the whole community thanks to the Dell
High Skirt came heading into its forty sixth year next week to talk about that
and what it's all about. Mike DeMoss, he and his wife Sary Demos
have been instrumental integral in the Dell High Skirt game now for years. And
they join us or Mike does in the studio because of course Sherry's still asleep.
It's getting that unneeded beauty sleep. Yeah, oh yeah, right exactly.
She is a beautiful woman, There's no doubt about that. Yeah.
Going into year forty six, looking forward to it. Um got a couple
of great bands again this year. They're volunteering their time to help us race.
Someone's playing We got that one Party band on Thursday night from six to
ten. They do anywhere from sixties to recent music. And then we have
ex college called One Party ban that One Party that one party band. That's
a great they look them up. They've been all over the community, all
over the sins Any area for a few years now. They're getting bigger,
and so you mentioned they're on Thursday and then ex Calibers on Friday. It's
a two day event for people. Do not know. There's a tailgate party
on Thursday. Tell me what happens is at the tailgate. Jail gates just
basically like your usual festival with a really good band. We also have now
we started to win a real game now, so Thursday we actually have a
softball tournament where there are four teams that will vie to play against the ladies
on Friday night. So there's a softball tournament as well as the boost,
the beer, the food, you know, the usual west Side gambling type
boost. Kid's own, a huge kid he's owned this year actually grew up
from last year and that was just a big hit last year for the kids.
So don't be afraid to bring your kids up here. We go bouncy
houses, games for the kids and it's just a family event, very very
nice. Thursday night six to tend the tailgate with that one party band.
Friday, as you mentioned, the Dell High skirt game with one of the
four teams competing in the tournament Thursday facing off against you called them the ladies.
Now are these guys that are just become confused about their sexuality or now
you know it started, you know forty six years ago. Started on when
there was a young boy hit by hit by a car on a bike.
UM, the community, the police, to fire, athletic association back then
all got together to raise some money. And I'm not even sure who came
up with the idea to address when they did it. M I have to
talk to a couple of guys that played the first game. You know there's
no crime in softball or now? Is this is softball or baseball softball game?
Yeah? Off slow pitch, slow pitch, yes, oh yes,
if you saw these guys, you don't want to see fast pitch with these
guys. Yeah. Watching the red zone Tuesday night, it looked like a
Sunday softball Beer League softball game. They're twenty to nine thing, and then
sixteen to six was just as bad, only only in Sunday beer softball.
There's usually a mercy rule. Is there a mercy rule in the skirt game?
There is not? Usually usually it's uh, we keep it pretty fun,
so it's not as competitive as most of our Friday night games used to
be when we were younger and played. Um it's just fun, family fun
for everybody to watch. And um it'll stander control and you have different raffles
and Pyes that absolutely, absolutely we do split the pots. Obviously, we
will have a couple of the Big Six games as usual. We have a
we have a raffle that we are doing and we've been doing for about a
few months now. So on tickets it's a top prizes twelve hundred and fifty,
second prizes, five hundred and third prizes to fifty um the usual six
or five dollars. So we sell those raffle tickets as well, all raising
money to help people in Del High. So you know, and here's the
thing, people, if you go and you win the twelve hundred and fifty,
you know you gotta you gotta give back at least six hundred and twenty
five of at least half appreciated, not required, but appreciated. But it's
a chair, absolutely, And Mike has asked me and I don't know yet,
but there's a possibility I could be doing play by play next Friday from
six to eight at the Del High Skirt Game if I can get out of
my obligations slinging drinks for Hillbillies and others for a couple of hours in Newport
and I'd be happy. Then he goes, don't worry, we'll pay you.
I said, it's a benefit. What this is the thing I don't
get either. If you volunteer to be at a benefit, then you shouldn't
really expect anything in return. Real charity works like that, folks. Just
in case you didn't know, But if there's any way possible, oh,
you know, you got plenty of time to say one on one more.
I just want to make sure that people realize we actually Our fireworks show on
Friday night after the game is huge, and uh, people sometimes just come
up just for the fireworks alone. Come will replaced because hum Queen's City Pyro,
they just do a heck of a job. Day does a great job.
But on a fireworks show and it is one of the probably the biggest
one on the West Side all year long. Well that that says a lot
because because you people on the West Side like to explode things. This is
true. I've seen that my friends up at the Crow's Nest. So Thursday
six to ten and Friday the later a little bit later on Friday night band.
Pretty much they kind of give us a little leeway. You know,
we're pretty you know, the police have fired to a great job helping us
out. So eleven ish maybe you know, can you say what the money's
going to this year? Do you have a charity? And basically how we
do it is we have people ask for help all year round. You can
go to our website doll high scare game dot org, UM, fill out
of something there or send us a letter UM asking for help and basically respond
all year long. So we used to be we used to just help one
family out every year. Now all year around people ask for helping. We
will help people all year round. So it's not just the funds. With
the funds that are raised. UM, say someone has a you know,
get sick, it's you know, can't go to work, can't gather bills,
that kind of thing. We don't pay me. I will tell you
we don't pay medical bills, but we will mortgages, UM whatever, UM,
handicap accessibility equipment, stuff like that. We've done all that and basically
you know, we'll go, we'll interview the people, make sure it's a
real need. We don't pay people directly. We actually pay, you know,
the CGNE or the mortgage, so we don't ever give anybody how old
are That's funny, all right, brother, Yeah, it's it's a great
cause and it's all stays in Dell High and helps the people that need it.
We'll give our love Chris to two point zero and my love to Sherry.
And it's good to see you. Always good to see you. And
hopefully we can work it out so I can come see you next Friday night
at six I would be out high school. Got a parking spot in my
driveway? You're good to go? Yeah, that's that's that's over on that
side of town. I need a parking place, that's all. Don't need
any money. Just give me a place to easily park Mike and we'll be
there. Thanks for having us fun, you bet have a great weekend and
gifts from Walley coming up, plus a chat with Moe Egger before we're done.

Good morning kids, It's time for gifts for Wally. The not so
pleasant hospitals stay like any hospital stay, it's pleasant. Local big shot,
self important businessman has spend a couple of days in the hospital and he's a
royal pain to everybody there. The staff. He bosses him around like they
were his employees or his slaves. None of the staff we're wanting to have
anything to do with him. After two days, the head nurse, though,
had a plan, came into his room and announced, I have to
take your temperature. Well. After complaining for several months, he finally settled
down, crossed his arms, and opened his mouth. The head nurse said,
no, I'm sorry, but for this reading, I cannot use an
oral thermometer. Oh. This started another round of back and forth with the
guy. Eventually he rolled over, bared his rear end, and after feeling
the nurse insert the thermometer, he heard her announce I have to get something
now. You just stay just like that until I get back. But she
left the door open to his room. On her way out, He's cursing
under his breath as he heard people walking past his door laughing. After almost
an hour, the man's doctor came into the room. The doctor says,
what's going on in here? Man angrily answered, what's the matter? Would
you, doc? Have you ever seen someone having their temperature taken before?
After a pause, the doctor confessed, with a suppressed laugh in his voices,
Well, no, I I guess I haven't, not with a carnation
anyway. Seven hundred WLSW Cincinnati, available everywhere with the iHeartRadio app number one

Welcome to Green Bay Packers the fay Core Stadium under the lights on Friday,
August eleven to seven pf The thrill of big breathe, the acade of defeat.
We've seen a lot of the latter lately it comes to the Reds.
But to talk about all that and much more, our friend Moe Egger joins
us on a Saturday morning. Hey, Mo, Gared, Jeff, how
you doing? You know what I'm here, brother, and I'm ready to
talk some sports with you. First, off and a listener wanted. This
is a request from a listener, so we're doing requests this morning on the
Saturday morning edition. The request was, have MO talk about the new Big
twelve, since you see is now a member of the Big twelve. And
I'm sure that's been almost been talking about for the last couple of weeks anyway,
with a few little things hit and missus other places. But I mean,
I think the big story MO with the news this morning is that what
used to be the Pac twelve is now down to four or five and that
conference looks like it is irrelevant. And where did the rest of the teams
wind up going, if anywhere on the West Coast. So let's start with
that and we'll talk about the ramifications otherwise, for you see and all the
other teams in the new Big twelve, what happens, what happens to the
West Coast, what happens to cal and the rest of these teams, they
get gobbled up by the remaining conferences that are left. You know, we've
we've gone from basically the Power five to now the Power four, and I'm
sure you know eventually as time goes by, there's even going to be more
realignment and consolidation. But yeah, I mean, look, this started,
this really started ten years ago. That the thing that really triggered all this
was when Pittburg and Syracuse bolted for the ACC. But in relation to the
PAC ten, you could see where this was going when two things happened.
First of all, obviously USC and UCLA left for the Big Ten. Secondly,
the PAC twelve really struggled to find a media deal. The leadership of
that conference is terrible, and so it was almost inevitable that the Big Twelve
and the Big Ten we're going to poach more schools. And now it's a
matter of where those other schools end up. Is there a desire by the
Big ten to pull in the likes of Callen, Oregon? Does the Big
Twelve go there? Is there a West Coast home for those schools? Those
things remain to be seen as it relates to the University of Cincinnati looked,
I looked at this from two different standpoints. From a UC perspective, Yeah,
the Big Twelve is now stronger and deeper and better prepared to deal with
the defection of Oklahoma and Texas City year by getting Arizona and Arizona State in
Utah, and you know, if you're the University of Cincinnati, you want
to best insulate yourself against what happened to it when the Big East basically dissolved
about ten years ago. But the part of me that fell in love with
college football and college basketball hates this because with each wave of realignment, we
start to lose some of the things that those of us who love college sports
really hold deer, like geographical identity. I'm old enough to remember what Big
Ten football looked like and what SEC football looked like. Well, we're moving
to a model which is going to look a lot more like the NFL.
I think the thing that's most frustrating for me as a college sports fan is
just these the conference realignment has destroyed so many historical rivalries that I've come to
love, and it's going to further undermine traditions, but I think make college
football unique. Ryan Day, the coach at Ohio State, has talked about
the possibility that maybe the Buckeyes and Walverines aren't going to play in the final
Saturday of November. Why can you mention Ohio State Michigan in September or October?
It would be cool. It would be great. It's a great rivalry,
it's a great game. But those things keep going away, and those
are the things that the NFL doesn't have that I've always felt like is made
college football unique. After this year, After this year, Oklahoma and Oklahoma
State aren't going to play. West Virginia and pitt don't play anymore, Cincinnati
and Louisville don't play anymore. And all of those things are a result of
conference realignment. I can't imagine, for example, Georgia and Georgia Tech not
playing on the weekend after Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving week, the Oklahoma Olahoma State thing.
You mentioned, Michigan Ohio State obviously, I mean people at both of
those schools, along us from both of those schools look forward to hating their
rival at a certain time of the year. I'm sure they can hate them
equally in October or no, you know, September, October. But there's
You're right, there's just nothing like. There's nothing like those rivalry games at
a crucial point of the season when you're just expecting them to happen. Now,
the new Big twelve is going to be and see if you agree with
me, without question, the most incredible basketball conference in the nation, won't
it With the additional With the addition of Arizona and all of that, I
mean, the Big Twelve is going to be where where the hoops really coming
to play? Yeah, I mean just look at recent history of the NCAA
Tournament. Texas Tech played for the national title in twenty nineteen, Baylor wanted
in two thousand twenty one, Kansas wanted in two thousand and twenty two,
Houston made the Final four in two thousand twenty one. They're moving with Cincinnati
to the Big Twelve. It's look, the Big East that you see was
in for eight years was terrific. This quite frankly, is better, and
I think without the dead weight of some of the schools they had at the
bottom of the Big East. And then you add to it Arizona. You
add to a Utah which has a good college basketball tradition from a basketball perspective,
which fortunately or unfortunately and I would say unfortunately doesn't drive the bus in
conference realignment. This league is going to be great. And for West Miller,
who I think has finally achieved, you know, some degree of stability
with UC basketball, I think the improvements they have made this offseason could dramatically
be offset by just a huge uptick in the caliber of competition. Last year,
West Virginia made the tournament. They had a seven and eleven records.
In the Big twelves, they probably would have finished in second place in the
American Athletic Conference. Oklahoma State finished in the middle of the pack in the
Big Twelve. They probably finished near the top of the American Athletic Conference.
It is going to be one dynamite deep college basketball conference. You know.
It did obviously the cows out of the barn on the nils and the transfer
portals in college sports and the like. But I was thought, yeah,
it would be only fair for someone if a university or a conference is making
major dollars off the name or likeness of one of the athletes who are scholarship
athletes. Yeah, they should. They should get to the athletes should get
something, even though it's oh amateur athletics. But all the while, I
thought it would have been a better plan if they would have put those funds
in escrow for those players and they could only collect it after they graduated from
those institutions. That's that's what I think. Maybe, Uh, but you
know I can, Like I said, do we really care that much?
It's already been done, and that that would that would make us assume that
we care about whether or not student athletes graduate. And let's be honest,
nobody does. Whether we care about whether student athletes or students or not,
Yes, indeed we don't. Look look here. Okay. So people used
to complain that UC basketball did not graduate players, which by the way,
was dramatically overstated. Yeah, mccronan comes in. Mccronin came in, and
for the first couple of years, every player graduated, but they never made
the NCAA tournament. People stopped going to games. So you tell me what
people can about. Oh, I know exactly what you mean, and I
agree with you. I'm just saying from a esoteric kind of want of having
that tradition or I guess the facade of student athletes. I was just calling
back to that. But let's go ahead and talk about the my god,
the elephant in the room, which is this Red's four game losing streak.
I think I text you in the middle of the week after the twenty to
nine loss to the Cubs at Wrigley, and I said this close to football
season. The Reds need to understand they need touchdowns, not just field goals.
And you said n Gopher two. The next night it was sixteen to
six, And I mean, and they couldn't do any They couldn't run,
field, throw nobody. I'm the last two games, we're very winnable games,
and yet the Reds found new and improved ways to lose. Yeah.
God, really frustrating. You know that that game on Wednesday, that's the
worst game the Reds have played, I think in a long time. Don
Sadak on the TV broadcast even said, you know, they lost a hundred
games last season. I'm not sure any of them looked like the game on
Wednesday. You know, sometimes you're pitching just as in effective, that's one
thing. It's something else when you're pitching isn't effective and you're sloppy on defense,
and the Reds certainly were. The lost last night was really frustrating from
the standpoint of this team. Starting pitching hasn't been very good. Last night,
they got a good start, they had a three nothing lead, they
had the bases loaded in the ninth inning, they had their all star closer
on the mount of the tent, and none of it worked. I think
they were what over ten last night with runners in scoring Yeah, you know,
the the the blowout losses, those things happen. Uh, they're magnified
by the fact that their biggest weakness wasn't really addressed at the trade deadline,
and their biggest sweetness certainly caught up to him during those games in Chicago.
But the real frustrating ones are the ones against inferior opposition, which Washington is.
You have a good starting pitcher on the mound who pitched well, you
had a free, nothing lead, you couldn't tack on any runs, you
couldn't capitalize with guys in scoring position. Lad And on a night in which
the Cubs lose, the Pirates lose, they could have gained a game.
They could be back in first place this morning, and unfortunately that's not the
case. No, that's and that was my next question. Model. Would
it just shocked the hell out of you? It would me if any team
from the NL Central is even playing in the World Series this year, much
less winning, it would really shock the hell out of me, because that
division is just not very good. Yeah. Look, let's be honest that
the class of the sport certainly the class of the National League is the Atlanta
Brace. And then from a talent perspective, obviously you would put the Dodgers
right behind them. But we also know how the baseball postseason works. Look.
National League East last year had two one hundred win teams. The team
that won eighty six games in that division made the World Series. Now,
I don't think either the Cubs, Brewers or Reds are as good as last
year's Philly team. I think the Brewers are interesting from the standpoint that they're
getting two starting pitchers back in Jake Woodruff and Wade Miley. But yeah,
I think if you were to handicap postseason, I don't think that you would
put money on Cincinnati, Milwaukee or Chicago. But from a Reds perspective,
that doesn't mean there's not great value in getting to the postseason and advancing in
the postseason. You know. I keep hearing people say, well, look,
you trade for a pitcher or you make some deals to get to the
playoffs. It's not like they're going to win the World Series. Okay,
Well, in the first round as of Wednesday, they would have played the
Miami Marlins. We're going to look down our noses at advancing in the postseason
when we're talking about a franchise that hasn't done that since nineteen ninety five.
So no, I don't believe any of the teams in the NL Central are
going to make the World Series. I do think you have to account for
the fact that baseball's postseason is really random. But when you make it about
the Reds, for a young team that's going to have this core together for
a while, I think it would be great to see how they stood in
the postseason, to see if they could advance, and then put him in
a series against La or Atlanta, who is going to be a huge favorite
with a lot of pressure, and let's see how they stack up. There's
nothing to be lost by getting a chance to do that. It is Patrick
Ewing's sixty first birthday today. Your thoughts as a former New York basketball fan
on Patrick Ewing, one of the most iconic college basketball players of all time,
a two time Olympic gold medalist, a national champion, a Slam Dunk
Hall of Famer, and a guy who for the New York Knicks transformed the
franchise. His knees betrayed him early, so he wasn't quite the shot locker,
prefounder as a pro that he was in college, played at two NBA
finals, and he also you know, if you if you look in his
career versus other guys that you know of his generation that are also Hall of
Famers, it's not like he played with a whole slew of All Star or
Hall of Fame caliber teammates. Right in fact, as a Knicks fan,
I can't think of another Hall of Famer that he played with, at least
in his prime. So they never really got him the help that he needed.
But an iconic college player, not a very good college coach, a
terrific NBA player, and a guy whose poster I had. I had a
Patrick Ewing growth chart when I was a kid. So he's always going to
be one of my favorites. All right, fantastic bo have a great weekend.
What are you doing, by the way, this morning, I'm just
curious playing golf? Oh okay, that was the golf card. I thought
that was breakfast backfiring. Might have been. Oh take care, brother,
Mike Allen, Saturday midday, Ready to go, counselor how are you?
I'm good, I'm all jazzed up and ready yep, up about hell of
a week. Well, the main focus is going to be the new Trump
indictment. I'll tell you what, in a word, garbage. There's nothing
there. I mean, there is just nothing Nudlin, Stacy Abrahams, Hillary
Clinton, how came Jeffreys, and a litany of I mean you could go
on both hands, I could take off both my shoes and count the toes
and I still wouldn't reach the number of Democrats who denied election results and said
that the election was stolen or that Trump was illegitimate. None of those have
been indicted on anything. Nancy Pelosi to add her that mix. It's just
so blatant, it's so obvious, the whole dubble double standard of justice.
So we're going to talk about that. And you know, the documents case.
I think President Trump could possibly have some exposure there, not here.
This is just bs. I mean that's really you know, I don't even
think I don't even think that document cases is relevant or should go anywhere,
because there's no condemnation of Joe Biden, who had a hold of confidential documents
that he wasn't allowed to have as a senator. I get that, or
even as a vice president as a raw legal analysis, though he could have
some trouble on that case. But you're right, when is the last time
you heard anything about Biden's document? Then nothing the garage, you know,
and the whole whole thing, the other thing. Well, who's on the
show? Just tell me real quick. Well, we're gonna have Steve Gooden,
attorney Steve Gooden break down the new Trump indictment. He does a fantastic
job on that stuff, so we're gonna have him. And then at eleven
in studio, I'm gonna have Rachel c. Tach going to talk about issue
one coming down to the wire. The election is Tuesday, and of course
eleven thirty we'll talk about the red Sloss where I was present last night.
You were the reason I was. You were the reason. What a heartbreaker,
man. They should have won that game. Definitely should have Mike Allen.
Saturday, midday after the show, show at Huddles sling and drinks for
Hillbillies and others. As always, we'll see you there seven w LW.
