Uh. You nailed it last week on the Bengals Prediction twenty seven twenty four.
Yeah, but you know, if you just say twenty seven to twenty
four all season long, you're going to be right every once in a while.
So I got to ask you something, What do you think about this
afternoon in Pittsburgh? How's it turnout? I think, I really think that.
I think it's going to be thirty one twenty four to Bengals. Give
me that score again, thirty one twenty four, all right, I think
that's too many points. But you know, last time these two teams played
in Jake Browning's first game, it was six it was sixteen to ten Pittsburgh
here, and I just I don't know that they can score that many points.
But your pick is your pick. Thirty one twenty four Bengals define the
odds, the Dixter picks again. Did you ever get any Christmas cards in
the mail, Dick, Yes, I did. I got quite a few.
Good just thank you and oh happy birthday, Thank you very much.

it and and you walked out. I walked out in the studio. Yeah,

of producers and said, take me seriously, do not ever do that.
Now. Why did you joke? Why did you tell leam that he was
he was on the short list for leaving? You got him paranoid joke last
week that he was he was a short timer. He is a short timer.
They're all short timers. But we're hoping he hangs around a little bit
longer. He's he's had the best attendance schedule of any producer lately. Yeah,
well except last week he wasn't here. I guess that was that was
a scheduled day off. That was a scheduled day off. So anyway,

in the Cincinnati Tristate area, and it has It has a little bit greater
coverage on the high end of the shortwave band, but not as much coverage
as yours has on the low end. And the other difference is that this
one, unlike yours, is dog ugly. It's kind of the same cabinet,
but you have that nice big rectangular dial in the middle where it should
be. This thing has a slide rule dial that's up the very top,
kind of towards the the curve to the top of the cabinet. It looks
like an afterthought, it's this little little tiny dial. Guys, guys,
nice radio. We got to put a tuning dial on it so people know
where they're going. We got bob Oh, let's let's wedge it in up

College basketball? You see beat Stetson last night and Xavier plays today, correct,
Yes, Xavier. Pregame coverage begins at one thirty, tip off at

for four thirty. Cover starts at noon with Ken Bruce Saturday Sports Talk right
here on seven hundred WLW in ESPN fifteen thirty. Jake Browning will be without
top receiving threat to mar Chase, who's been ruled out for today's game.
But I will say the other game is important today. If the Chargers can
after that horrific loss to Vegas last week, can come back and beat the
Bills, that's huge for playoff positions. Oh yeah, I can't believe that
they let the Bills look up and win last weekend. Just frustrating. It's
frustrating. It's also six twenty four on seven hundred WLW. This is Patino

minutes to spend with a angles head coach Act Taylor once again, and coach,
I take it that Jake Browning passed the drug test. I assume,
so you know, usually I don't hear about those, Yeah, but yeah,
it sounds like everything must be all right. You don't hear about that
when it's a high profile player or somebody who had a great game. Do
you know how often the you know, any member of the team gets tested,
like every other week. I know it's supposed to be random. Do
you know? No, they don't. They don't contact us. That's that's
done to the players. And you see the guy in there drug testing guys.
But I don't I don't have much information about that. All right,
as we sit here, it's a Thursday, and last we heard you said
Jamar was kind of day today. What does today look like? Yeah,
we'll continue to see. We got one more day of practice and we'll see
where that lands before we take off for Pittsburgh. Mark, Yeah, it's
gonna be a huge game. New quarterback, well not new, but to
switch a quarterback makeson Rudolph as the man. What the bigger concern possibly be
the Steelers running game. They've been kind of kept in check recently, but
they went about five games in a row with one hundred and sixty five yards
on the ground. Is that that's something you have to key on. I
would guess, Yeah, that's that's something they'll always lean on, you know.
And this guy's got a lot of experience in their system. We played
against some years ago, I think my first first year here, we played
against against Mason. So he's got a lot of experience in the system.
He tells us, We've been there a long time for a reason. Yeah,
and he he'll post some challenges as he play against them. Of course,
Well the run DJ readers gone, tell me about Travis Bell. What
we know about Travis Bell. Yeah, well, we'll learn more about him
as we get you know, I wouldn't he won't factor into this game,
but you know, it's always good to get some reinforcements there at the defensive
line, and so we'll use every resource that we got Around here, we
have a number of people who work here who are from elsewhere, so they're
fans of a different team. We have Scott Sloans from Buffaloes. He's a
Bills fan and a Bengals fan. Ed Fingers grew up in Dayton before there
were was a Bengals, so he's more of a Browns fan. I'm from
the Philly area, so I'm Bengals, but then I'd like to see the
Eagles do well, because it makes my relatives and friends happy. Growing up
in Oklahoma, did you follow an NFL team, And if you did,
do you have any affinity for that team at this stage? I followed Peyton
Manning, so I followed Tennessee and the Indianapolis Colts. My dad had coached
with a guy named Dave McGinnis who's the head coach of Arizona Cardinals, so
I followed them just because my dad was friends with them. And then the
Dallas Cowboys, where the team is on TV, so they were really good
when I was a kid. I didn't My day did not depend on them
winning or losing, but they were on TV a lot, so I know
more of their players than probably any other team. Okay, but Oklahoma was
the pro sports team in Oklahoma, so that's kind of the team just followed.
Yeah really, all right, Well, off to Pittsburgh. Hope we
can send a lot of Pittsburgh fans home nice and sad, and we'll talk
again next week. Thank you, tuk you. Then, well, that's

Christmas Day. Seven one hundred WLW Sports William Tomlinson tell me what's going on
today? I think there's some football game people may be interested in. Yes,
I'm important. NFL football today, eight and six Bengals on the road
faces seven and seven Pittsburgh's Dealers, and a battle between two teams looking to
get a wild card spot in the playoffs this year. Kickoff is set for
four point thirty and cover starts on noon with Ken Bruce Saturday Sports Talk right
here on seven hundred WLW in ESPN fifteen thirty. Jake Browning will be without
top receiving threat Tamar Chase has been ruled out for today's game. Hopefully we
can get another t Higgins masterclass as we got last week with that spectacular catch
to seal the well. The Bengals have other receivers and Zach Zach Taylor talked
about those options this week and he's not concerned. Yeah, they have other
receivers and they're good receivers, but there's not a lot of great eight receivers
in the NFL. And I think T Higgins and Jamar Chase are on a
different level than these other guys, I would agree. But you got tea
on the field, so you got somebody to take the pressure off. The
other game is also of consequence to the Bengals. Yeah, the Bills travel
to LA to face the Chargers in the nightcap tonight. The Bills because Bengals
could use a Bill's loss to help secure the wild card spot. But the
Bills are the only team really behind the Bengals and the tie breakers. Yeah,
I know, we just went out. We control our own destiny.
But maybe the human turnover machine Josh Allen will show up again in LA.
That'd be great. Uh So, we had some college football bowl games.
There was a game last night, correct, Yeah, Georgia Tech defeated UCF
thirty seventeen in the gas Brilla Bowl last night, all right, And there
are what seven others today or six seven bowl games today, the first being
at noon. We got bowl games all day and Xavier also plays on fifty
five krc Y. Xavier hosts Seaton Hall at the Centas Center this afternoon.
Seaton Hall came off a big win first Yukon at home, but Xavier's favored
over Seaton Holiday by three points. Excellent. Thank you, sir Steve from

reason for the season. Indeed, and our friends Steve from edtona patiently waiting
by to blow us away with a pithy holiday phone call. Good morning,
Good morning, Gary Jeff. I can't listen or watch news shows anymore.
We all know what the problem is, how to fix it? So how
come nothing is done? I hate to quote the economies at Nike, but
how about just do it? So here goes. When you vote for me
in next year's election as your Emperor of America, my first act will naturally
be an executive order, the border order. But first, all I watch
on TV now are Western movies. I keep coming back to the Treasure of
Sierra Madri because I love Bogee and Humphrey Bogarde and Lauren. Butcall got married
here in Ohio, so we're homies. Recall that line from the famous flick
where the federality in Mexico says, we don't need no stinking bodges. It
was so good Bell Brooks repeated it in Blazing Saddles, and I paraphrase it
in my inaugural address to the nation that you in January twenty twenty five,
we don't need no stinking EV's. Here's the plan. To date, there
have been two million EV's that's electronic vehicles sold in the United States. The
average price is fifty six thousand dollars. As your Emperor, I will buy
every damn one of them and give the owners an extra twenty five percent to
do with what they please. That's fifty six k that was the sticker price,
plus another fourteen or seventy thousand dollars in an offer they clearly cannot refuse,
considering they must now know that they bought a lemon, but that lemon
will last just long enough for ME to do the border order. So far,
the cost is one hundred and forty billion dollars. Normally we would have
to double that to cover the inefficiency and corruption in any federal program. But
the Bidens and the Clintons, with their charitable trusts, are no longer going
to be around. So I've already saved you people one hundred and forty additional
billion dollars. You can thank me later for my service. Your present government
tells us that of all the makes of cars stolen and or carjacked in the
United States last year, evs were not even in the top ten. Wow,
at fifty six bucks a pop or higher. The thieves didn't think and
EV was worth it. That tells you evs are a pile of crap.
We're going to send that pile of dung to Mexico, along with the estimated
twenty million illegals. They said to us, I call that an exchange rate.
You have quickly noted that I have only two million vehicles, but I've
got twenty million passengers. True, it's going to get crowded, but recall
that originally the Coyotes transported hundreds of illegals each in thirteen foot box trucks,
and nobody who survived complained about it. I assumed they had the same amenities
that my evs will have cable TV, ac et cetera. Although I'm going
to take all the evs I'm buying in as ease condition. Like Donald Trump,
I'm a former businessman. I will have added one nice tracker. Thank
God for GPS devices. Because of any of those vehicles, change is direction
a governor on each car means they can only go south. The EV blows
up double seven style. That's the kind of guy I am. I will
do anything to ensure passenger safety. I'm a Christian too. As for financing
this, it will not be a strain on the treasury. One hundred and
forty billion for God. Thanks is jump change when you consider two things.
Last year we had a budget shortfall of one point seven trillion dollars and the
most recent month this year set a thirty day record of three hundred and fourteen
billion. That's in one month. But my chump change still makes me feel
very uneasy. Consider this the multi decade future cost of having all these illegals
flooding our schools, healthcare systems, welfare offices, and prisons, not to
mention paying funeral expenses when they die of gunshots and fentanyl. That's the end
for some of them, but only the start for taxpayers, which is a
burden to the half of us who actually pay federal income taxes inflation, anyone
like I say, please, don't thank me now. Biden's buddies wanted to
overthrow the government and start ANEW. They're going to get that, but it
won't be communism. Lovingly, Steve at my campaign headquarters in beautiful Etna,
Ohio, I would appreciate your vote because we want to make this legal.
Gary Jeff, When did affirmative action become DEI? The answer it African American.
They keep changing it, don't they ask you why? By the way,
conservatives out there, commentators, you were surprised by wappo. That's Washington
Post actually saying that that decision in Colorado this week was garbage. Well,
why are you surprised? The Dems are panicking because they know this could be
done to them if a non Rhino conservative president decides what's good for the goose
is good for the gander. Those January the sixth, twenty twenty one protesters,
they're looking better and better every day, aren't They kind of stupid what
they did, But you know what, they may have been the only people
in this country who knew what the hell was going on. Remember that a
black cop and the Capitol murdered an unarmed female white protester, while a white
cop in Minnesota killed a career black drug dealer and got twenty years. Are
we a nation of laws? I don't think so, Gary Jeff, Well,
let's end on a pleasant note. You share, Gary Jeff Walker a
birthday I said yesterday with my first great grandchild. I tried to get them
to name him Gary Jeff Simon. They wouldn't do it. I am still
angry, so I've got to hang out before I utter an upsenity. Hey,

Happy birthday? And I've got to listen to podcast three times and take

Great. So my current wife is telling me yesterday I'll be spending the next
year clawing at keeping in my age in the sixties for another year. Well
there you go. So Christmas isn't really right, Christmas isn't getting warmer,
is it? Well we'll find out. This comes from the scene of two
coalition. I already know, I already know, But go ahead, let's
share with the listeners. December fourteenth Internet newsletter. Of course, usually this
time of year we hear all kinds of things from the compliant news media about
alarming Christmas temperature increases, and good chance we'll hear about it today because we
got some pretty warm weather right now. But what the CU two coalition did
is they went back to the data and they accessed what's called the US Historical
Climatology Network, looking at the maximum daily temperatures to the lower forty eight states
and compared to the CO two. This went They looked from data from eighteen
ninety which at at two hundred and ninety five ppm carbon dioxide to twenty twenty
two last year at four hundred and ten parts per million of carbon dioxide,
was a thirty nine percent increase. So you'd expect, according to the alarmists,
some you know, we'd be you be hotter than ever, hotter in
Haiti. Yeah, but interesting once they went through the data. But the
statistical analysis to it, it's not either increasing or decreasing. Yes, it
goes up and down a lot, but the line it just it's flat,
but interesting. Gary Jeff. The first coldest in this time period. The
coldest Christmas day on average in the Flower forty eight was nineteen eighty three.
Average maximum temperature in the lower forty eight seventeen degrees. Wow, excuse me,
nineteen eighty three. I can still remember that was my first wife in
I Connie's. It was our we're in our starter home, or was our
second Christmas in that starter home, and we had the Casey Christmas brunch that
day, and I just remember how single digits that was that day and how
cold it was. The second coldest is nineteen twenty four, twenty seven degrees
fahrenheit, and the third coldest Christmas average maximum temperature in the lower forty eight
last year twenty twenty two, twenty nine degrees fahrenheit. How about that again?
Do you look at the data, gritten going up, not going down.
So to all those out there in radio land, you can put your
kiddies to bed tomorrow night. Sleep well, there's no Christmas climate crisis.
Thank you, Steve Perfect. We'll end it there, and happy birthday tomorrow

Rocco today? Well, because of the new year coming Christmas, all
that good stuff and people over fifty, I really want to take heed because
the most important thing that we can do is get tested for the eight pole
e for gene, because the apo E four gene is the is the gene
that that's usually present and that can contribute to a dementia. And so I
want people to go out and go to the doctor and tell them that you
want Now I want people out there to stop bullying their doctors, because the
doctors bully them. I want I want us to go and bully the doctor
and say, I want to get tested for the apoe E four gene to
see if I may I may be uh, you know, have the potential
to get a dementia. And then if you do have it, there are
you you can go to a functional medicine doctor and there's uh, there's absolute
things that we can do utilize epigenetics. Just because you have the gene doesn't
mean that you go that you have to get dementia. So we can use
what's called epigenetics in order to actually to stave it off. Yep, well
you won't stave it off. You can actually not get dementia. So well
there you go. It's it's a shame. It's a shame that somebody didn't
test Joe Biden about twenty years ago. Rocco it is is it. Have
a fantastic weekend and Merry Christmas to you and your family. Ry Christmas.
Thanks guys you bet Roco trained with Roco dot com. If you want to
know more, time for a visit from my friend from the West, Tom
davis Diary. Weird whacked out stories from around the country and around the world,
presented to you by our our phantom newscaster, Good Morning Gary Jeff This
week warning the grinches are out in force. But first, one woman's Christmas
bonus is now an Internet sensation now. This lady posted a video showcasing what
her company gave out as a Christmas bonus, a potato, a single potato,
and to make it worse, the company also taxed her on it as
a gift, valuing the potato at fifteen dollars. She says, despite how
awful this year's gift was, last year's was actually worse. It was a
thirty minute conference call with company executives. Meanwhile, a family in our hurry
to get the Disney World nearly made a costly mistake. They thought they were
spending ten thousand dollars in Disney money, money that would be used at the
park and for their resort stay Well. They mistakenly bought ten thousand dollars in
Disney Plus gift cards. That's a lot of bad TV, but all was
not lost. The Magic Kingdom was able to convert the cards to ones that
could be used at the park. In Wadebridge, England, some grinch was
trying to steal Sarah Yardley's holiday spirit by cutting down the tree she decorated for
Christmas in her backyard. She wasn't home, but her neighbors were watching when
the tree started shimmy and shake and it was eventually seen going over the fence.
But in the spirit of the season, they all pitched in and got
her another tree and finally, call it fate, call it loves, Call
it the craziest thing you'll hear today. A husband and wife in Italy survived
not one, but two separate plane crashes on the same day. He was

while she went down in another plane about twenty five miles away. The two

same hospital and both were released with minor injuries next week. Forget the gym,
drop those holiday pounds with the latest, add the paintball, diet,
run or be shot. Have a great weekend and a merry Christmas. When

right, Tony Pike stands by Tony. Good morning, sir. How you
doing? Good morning? How are you doing fine? We're coming up on
the Steelers week. Steelers Week's always a big deal. When's the last time
I don't know that the Bengals were favored by two or three in Pittsburgh?
I have done that very often. No, it's a good question, and
really, you think the direction these two teams have went in the last couple
of weeks. Pittsburgh came to Cincinnati. Of course, that was the game
they had changed offensive coordinators. They see they go for over four hundred total
yards and a lot of people thought, Okay, there's two teams going in
a different direction. Pittsburgh's making that move at the end, Bengals are gonna
fall off with Jake Browning. And since then, Bengals haven't lost. Jake
Browning has looked fantastic, and in Pittsburgh they have They've since benched Mitch Trubisky,
can he Pickett is injured and it's gonna be Mason Rudolph. And this
is a team in Pittsburgh dealing with just a ton of outside noise around that
locker room going into the game. Yeah. The first game out for Browning
was the Steelers game, and that was the one where I guess talking to
coaches he said, you know, the things he wanted to try, and
when once the game got into it, he realized those things weren't working too
well, so they changed things up. Then three wins in a row,
so this will be a different game plan, I would think. Obviously going
into see the Steelers the second time, well, yeah, I mean the
biggest thing in that first game against the Steelers is they ran the ball eight
times, Joe Mixon had eight carries, Chase Brown didn't touch the ball.
They just didn't have any rhythm offensively. Defense, they gave up a ton
of yards, but they only gave up sixteen points. Yeah, that should
be enough to win a football game. But it was the run game,
the lack of run game that has since been different for the Bengals that has
given Jake Browning a little bit of a level of comfort and allowed him to
get into games and win one on one matchups because they are running the ball
well and it's got to go without Jamar Chase. But the reality is Browning
is less dependent on him than then previously. I mean, I think he
had eleven different people touched the ball last week. I do believe. Yeah,
and in the end of regulation the touchdowns dry where t Higgins makes the
unbelievable catch Tanner Hudson tryumtastic manner, and yet you still do have that wide
receiver, one capable player in t Higgins. So with the running game,
with the weapons and Cake Brown's ability to spread it around, and playing a
team that is not a dominant offense, they should still be able to find
enough offensively on Saturday to help carry them through this game. Yeah all right,
well we shall see gotta run Tony Pike. Thank you, and we'll
talk again next week. Who day, Thanks buddy, RNL carrier enter throughout
the first parts of our Saturday. But overall it's going to be cloudy in
the afternoon. Attemperatures in the low fifties tonight, you drop down to the

that was Pearl Harbor stayed there for nine weeks and written by a couple of

one of those three trains coming out of New York City by Captain Luca.
And of course there's a song open. It sounds like a train rolling on

Come there, pardon me boys at the chandnever feature recorded Glenn Millard Orchestra
racing a text Benikey kempanied by Paula Kelly and the fabulous Modern Air. So
that was a number one record. But mom and Dad reroviting me home from
the hot Well, let's let's flash ahead some nineteen years to December twenty second,
nineteen sixty when I was thrust upon the world. What was the number
one song? Then, Jim Well? In April of nineteen sixty, I
was questionings a two year service hits in the army ended and got the suggestion
of his manager, Colonel Tom Parker. Are you listen tonight? I said,
you're going to record this song? And Parker's wife was the reason.
Was Parker's wife, Marie Mott. That was her favorite song and she knew
the song from Gene Austin Zach because Tom Parker was his manager. And there
supposed me that was the only time that the colonel intervened the selection of a
repertoire for Elvis Presley. So he went into the studio to do this song
in April. So here he is in the studio aful of four am in
the morning. He begins recording. Now you'll learse some tonight and he's got
the acoustic guitar, drums, bass, back up group, the Jordanaires,
and all of a suddenly asked everybody, everybody in the studio that leave the
session, please leave the room, told Ched Atkins turn the lights out,
and he performed the song with the spoken bridge that Al Jolson had used in
the nineteen forties. And then after the second take, elviss for the producer
Steve Schulz, Hey for that thing, and I can't do justice, and
Schulz sells the engineer ignore Elvis Presley, and he said to ask him to
do another take. So he tells that, he tells Elvis, he said,
the Jordanaires bumped into the microphone's hand, well while they were recording in
the dark. We need to do another take. And as a result,
Elvis performs the song again. And that's the tape that they used. That's
the tape they used for the master. They delayed releasing this then because art
executive thought they didn't fit the image of Elvis Presley. And then it came
out. Of course, number one, Hey, number one, the day
you were born, number one for five weeks in nineteen sixty. Elvis Presley's
a little Shakespeare in there and a little bit of paiachi in there from the
Shakespeare's As You Like It? Here's are you lonesome tonight? It was coming

here's where it gets serious. I wonder if you loansome to night? You
know? Someone said that the world's a stage. You must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love with you as my sweetheart. Act one
was where we met. I loved you at first glance. You read your

seem to change. You acted strange, and why I'm never known? Honey?
You lie when you said you loved me, and I had no cause
to doubt. But I'd rather go on hearing your lias. Then they go
on living without you. Another stage is bare, and I'm standing there with
emptiness all around, and if you won't come back to me, then they
can bring the curtain down. Is it your heart? Shall I come tell
me? D are you some tears? Yeah? Actually several years and then
we finally one day it's your Birthday's my birthday? Two? Yeah, that
was funny. It was a shocker. That's that's that's almost as cool as
getting stuck in the elevator together for over an hour. All right, So
next on our rock and Roll archaeology list, away from our birthdays and more
to the season itself to Christmas time, and the year is nineteen sixty three.
Tell me about this next song? Okay, this was recorded in October
of nineteen sixty three, and as the Beach Boys Little Saint Nick now talking
about because inspired partly because of Phil Spector. The idea for the song.
Phil Spector was recording a Christmas album. Brian Wilson finds out about it.
He's actually he's on a date with the girl and all of a sudden,
what Phil's come out with an I'm gonna do something And he wrote the lyrics
to it while he was out on a date with this girl, rushes home
to finish the music. And some of its rhythm and the structure if you
listen to a terriflay. Of course, it's Little Deuce Coop that also is
written by Brian Wilson and Bank Love. That was a hit for the Beach
Boys like six months earlier, and so they record this song he gets in
the studio. Cars were the common theme of the Beach Boys early songs,
especially in Little Deuce Coop, and it was a template for the song.
And then an Invasion Stata Clauses plays a Nordic hot rod Candy Apple red four
speed stick. And he wrote a very interesting in this song because in the
song he says, run Run Reindeer, and that was the line taking from
Chuck Berrys song Run Rudolph, Run with Chuck Berry. When Chuck Berry sang
run Run Rudolph. When he did that, he mentions Rudolph. Well,
Rudolph. The name Rudolph was copywritten by Johnny Marx, who wrote Rudolph the
Red Nosed Reindeer, so something the copyright from that Berry song had to go
to Johnny Marx. Well in this case they made the reindeer generic and they
didn't. Then it became a giant hit and at the time you you had
mentioned to me that this song you remember the song being played on the radio
and the story during the assassination of President Kennedy in November sixty three year,
we went into the aduldrums and really at the Christmas time, and I had
mentioned it before, and we did the Christmas countdown that Phil Spector with Christmas
by Darling Left that was pulled. We pulled it right after the President's assassination.
Well the Beach boys didn't the Beach Boys let this thing go out and
this jockeys played this record and at that time I got to say, we
were playing Harry Simeon's Correll the Little Drummer Boy, while Christmas of course being
Crosby's version, and that King Cole. And then we did we did play
this song Little Saint Nicho. It was up blitching at the time that the
country really needed some that's lifting. Absolutely, Christmas comes this time each year,
many Christmas, Saint Christmas come this time each year. Well away up
north werthy Argis. There's a tale about Christmas that you love be told and
real famous cat all dressed up in bed ain't he said the bow here we're

But you walk into a plagon lut the trust easter, you candy apple lit

prof So Last Stop. Here are two artists that had birthdays, joining us
on December twenty second. They have passed since they're no longer celebrating birthdays like
you and I are, but we thought it was important to mention Robin and
Morris Gibb. Yeah, Rob, Robin Gibb and his paternal twin, Morris
Gibb, Robin the older by thirty five minutes buried the older brother three years
older, and the three of them young young guys singing on the street corners
in Manchester and their young kids. And a story that you don't hear,
you don't hear. In the nineteen fifties, okay, the boys were living
in Manchester, England, in England. That ustright in England, and Robin
reportedly set pajama the billboards on fire with matches and his mom, and his
mom dubbed him a firebug. Well, the local police in Manchester took notice
of this and planted the suggestion, a very strong suggestion, that the boys
be moved to Australia and mc gibbs in fact moved to Australia in nineteen fifty
eight, and that's where the brothers started singing together and they formed the Little
Singing Group and the sound was recognizable in the early days. The three part
harmonies that Robin's cleared by brod a voice leading the way and then Berrys are
in the falsetto became the trademark in the disco era of the seventies. Now
this is the first big hit record. Okay. They wrote this song while
sitting in the darkened stairway in England at the Polydor recording place, and it
was dark because it was power outage. And they got the idea for this
from a nineteen sixty six disaster of the whales, but a cone Robig Gibb.
They were actually there actually have been a Money after in New York in
nineteen thirty nine, but not in nineteen forty one. And they thought New
York mone disaster nineteen forty one when New York sun the more glamorous, and
in the song there's that Unison Robin and Barry singing in Unison. Now interesting,
what there is this jockey when the labels sent this out New York Money
was aster nineteen forty one, the radio stations it did, so they hit
a white label and cause yet there's no no band listened on the scene,
no band on the sticker. And so we played on the radio and a
lot of this jockeys because we didn't know that the record promotion guys didn't tell
us. We thought it was the Beatles. It was the gimmick. We
actually thought it was the Beatles, and I was a Fab four and as
a result that that gimmick worked and they had their first hit record. This
was their first hit number fourteen and nineteen sixty. Gim Barbara Merry Christmas,

And our friend Liam, our friend Peter Bronson is back with us again
this morning. Can you turn on his mic? Turn on all the mics?
Liam, I don't know why that one's not coming on. Say hello,
Pete, No, it's not working. Every mic except for the one
Peter is on is working. Yay, Let's try this. Try that.
No, all right, so I don't understand. Put him on my two.
Where's Mike two? All right, he's he's switching. He's running over
to a place. I don't know why the rest of them are off,
though, Liam, because they're all supposed to be working. Well, I
know, but how do you not just turn him on? Now? Okay,
well, never mind, just don't worry about it. Let's do a
science minute before it gets any later. Jeez, got to change the board,
turn the mic on. We're back in business. Now, we're back,
yes, as a knight of scientist surprising his now binding me with tello.
Michael, how are you well? This is to tell us standard now,
isn't it. Well I'm glad he didn't have to change the board to
put the phone on the air. That would be terrible. Well, this
topic kind of relates on what problems are having right now. But well,
no, the only we're having a singular problem. And his name is Liam,
But I thought it was the front of the Western Hills Country Club looked
like a feena of the Godfather with all his Cadillacs and black rim house pulling
up. Yesterday, that was wonderful yesterday morning, wonderful time. Yesterday NASA
sent a space mission out to the Belt, the asteroid belt between Jupiter and
Mars. And the thing they did you can't even get Mike's turned on there.
But what they did is they sent the the longest transmitted video from there
was it was nineteen million miles away and they sent one hundred second video of
Brooks. He might be jealous, but they sent a video of Tater's the
cat chasing a laser and the video was it's pretty amazing because they downloaded two
our sixty seven megabytes per second from transmission from all the way out there at
the asteroid belt to here on Earth to another We're doing that because we're trying
to get videos set up when we start doing these long, long excursions from
Mark, we have to have the ability to send not just vocal communication,
but the video too. So you know, remember when we were watching all
those Apollo missions and they would send the video back of the all black and
white and rainy. I think the first few, I think an ones were
actually in color, but which is amazing enough in the nineteen seventies. But
so they sent a video from nineteen million miles away and it was pretty you
know, high quality transmission. So now we have the going to have the
ability to be able to have a really good video transmission from hopefully someday from
way out there, hopefully someday from Mars. You know, we've done such
a great job with this planet. Do we really need to screw up the
rest of them in the Solar System? That's my question. They have a
great Christmas. Hey you two, thank you. Say it's Mike Peter Bronson.
How are you, my friend? Hey, I'm doing great this morning.
Yeah, got the Christmas spirit, do you? Yeah? Pretty much?
Getting the shopping all done and just wrapping up everything today literally and figuratively.
Speaking of our friend Liam, he is not. He said today'd be
a good day to do my Christmas shopping, right get at three o'clock on

go to the grocery store and get a couple of items for the trip home
to see Mom and Dad. We're cooking dinner on Christmas Day right there,
gonna see nice. So I have to get a couple of things. But
yeah, for the most part, I'm done. You got it wrapped up,
just literally and figuratively. Yeah, yes, sir. Well you know
I got news for you, Liam. It's going to be real hard finding
a parking spot out there. Oh my gosh. Everywhere you go where there's

We're coming from Isaiah seven to fourteen. It says, therefore the Lord
himself, they'll give you a sign the virgin will concede and give birth to
a son and will call him Emmanuel. That's the good news. Gary.
Now consider this and my friend Scott Powell, who's a great history and scholar
and Christian, talk about the the realities of God on earth, Jesus Christ
is for this is foretold thousands of years before it happens in books like Isaiah.
Yeah, what's that? What's that Pete seven hundred years, seven hundred
years before the birth of Christ, seven hundred years written seven hundred years before,
and he talks about a virgin birth and it happened, and he describes
it the same way. Yes. In fact, in Matthew they directly quote
Isaiah God with us and Manuel, God with us. There's the Christmas gift
God with us. That is, that is corroboration of the Christmas story from
the New Testament, hundreds of years before it ever happened. Prophecy. That's
amazing, brother Green. I hope you have the best time possible on this
Christmas with your family and uh man, I just I just wish you the
best man, because you bring so much to me every Saturday. I appreciate
it. Thank you, Gary, Jeff, I played you and yours have
a wonderful Christmas. And brother, you are preaching to the choir. I
believe every word God said it because he said it in the story they met.
All right, amen, thank you? All right, So Pete,
you and I have a few minutes. We're going to just go on and
bum rush to the the top the bottom of the hour and the Bengals update
of course, Bengals and Steelers matching up today. That'll be a good one.
You've had a really good week. You went to the folks at Prohibition,
which is a bar and coffee shop, but that a great name for
a while. It really is a pro mission bar, especially in Newport,
Kentucky. And did you know right across the street at Pompilios, they had
the first liquor license in Kentucky after Prohibition. You would know that. So
it's a very historic section of town right there, absolutely on the east side
of Newport. And you were there for a book signing and had copies of
your book, The Man who Saved Cincinnati once again doing that. And you're
not going out Christmas shopping today, no, but I will be at Rookwood
from eleven to one signing books again. Okay, So if Gary jeff Nation
wants to come on out and get their books signed Jeff Nation. Hey,
they were waiting for me last week. Well and by the way, just
a word to Gary jeff Nation whatever that is adverb to your aunt. No,
no, no, after the show show today at Huddles, we're taking
the day off from the boat, right. So we Christmas break, had
the birthday celebration yesterday and thanks to everybody who came out. It was a
wonderful time, happy birthday. I enjoyed celebrating my sixty third with you out
there. Any other big plans, Pete, In the last couple of minutes,
what do you got going on for Christmas? Just bringing the family over,
which is the best Christmas being with my grandchildren and Robbie and my wonderful
family. I'm just so grateful and blessed to have them together for Christmas.
Pete brought me a delicious Christmas scone which nothing but cream and butter and flour
and sugar and lots of cherries and pecans and delicious. And your other Christmas
tradition is what Tomali's. Now, how did you get hooked? It was
that prem your time in Arizona it was when we lived in Tucson. It
was an annual tradition that the whole crew at the Tucson Citizen would get together
and make Tomali's at Christmas. We would make green corn Tomali's. Everybody had
their role. Some were, you know, roasting the the green chilis.
Others were mixing the mossa and and everything. And then you were in the
assembly I was in the assembly line usually right, trust me with that other
stuff. But today you're everything. You're the assembly line, you're the chief,
You're the Tamali Kingsmas. Well, now I order them from the Tucson
Tomali Company, which makes fantastical. I was tasked with making the Christmas dinner,
oh really at my parents, and I thought, what could be easier
than doing New Year's just a week ahead of time. So I've got two
briskets of corn beef and cabbage and nice black eyed peas, we do some
corn bread and stuff. Just put them in the crockpot about six o'clock Christmas
morning. Wonderful, they'll be ready at noon. Just set it and forget
it. Well, listen, I hope you have a very blessed Christmas.
Thank you. Cary Jeff, and the same to you and your family.

Good morning kids, Time for gifts from Wally. On the way to there
are three convicts on their way to prison on the bus. They're each allowed
to bring one item with them though, to help pass the time behind bars
on the bus. The first one turns to another and says, so,
what did you bring. The second convict pulls out paint by numbers set says
he's going to learn how to paint. He's going to the Grandpa Moses of
jail. And he asked the first guy, well, what did you bring.
The first convict pulls out a new pack of playing cards. He said,
I brought cards. I could play poker, Solitaire, gin, any
number of games to pass the time. The third convict is sitting quietly on
the side, grinning to himself. The other two take notice and said,
why are you so smug. You're going to jail too. What did you
bring? The guy pulled out a box of tampons and smiled. He said,
I brought these the other two Like, what are you going to use
those for? He granted and pointed to the box and says, well,
according to the box, I can go horseback riding, swimming, roller skating.

It is Eddie Vedder's fifty ninth birthday. Today, lead singer Pearl jam
in the spirit of the season, let me sleep, It's Christmas time.
It's the name of this song. Oh when I was up, ohow magic,
Oh please let me see Christmas. There you go, you can go
back to bed, Eddie. It's fine. I love I love that.
I love that. You know he's right in my wheelhouse. I'm sixty three,
Eddie Vedder's fifty nine. Moe is a tad bit younger than that,
but I'm sure he's very familiar with both me and Eddie Vedder. Let's find
out, Hey, Mo, are you familiar with Eddie Vedder and Gary Jeff
Walker. I'm familiar with both of your work. Yes, fine bodies of
work that they are. You know what I you know what I love best
about Eddie Vedder And I'm just being honest. The song Yellow led better because
I can't understand a single word he says, Hall on him home hand damn
right. Uh anyway, I think that's part of the course with most Pearl
Jam song. Trick Mahomes shirt for my birthday from my wife yesterday, and
I was very pleased with well pleased with my my red and gold number fifteen.
You are in Are you in Pittsburgh? Did you go to Pittsburgh?
You're hanging here at home and I'm hanging here at home watching the game this
afternoon. That smoked Justice and Covington. Oh nice, what great food there.
Listen. So are they paying you to be there? Yes, okay,
just check it. I'll be There'll be no justice at all for me,
and I'll be at home not getting paid. So but good for you
you. Uh you see last night with a win over Stetch and the Hatters.
How are the bear Cats? I mean the bear Cats are like ten
and two. They're not terrible but we don't know if they're going to do
anything in the Big twelve, and they've they've been kind of uneven so far.
What what's the most progress report on the UC Bearcats basketball team so far
this year. I think they have a lot of really good pieces. I
don't know that they've used the twelve games to make the pieces. Still,
there have been high points. Excuse me, Daniel Skillings last night simply provided
a bunch or twenty nine points off the bench to go along with ten rebounds.
Unfortunately, in the five games prior he had shot nine of thirty four.
That there's just right now. I think nothing that on a game to
game basis you could really hang your hat on. You know, they defend
for stretches, but I'm not sure you can count on them being a great
defensive team. They get really good point guard play for stretches. I'm not
really sure you could say, well, going into a tough game against a
good Big twelve team, they're going to get big good point guard play.
They have quality big players, especially now that Jamil Reynolds and disease VANDEGO have
been declared. But I'm not sure in a game to game basis you can
go. You know what, They're going to have an advantage in the post,
and I think that's I think that's been a disappointing part of the last
twelve games. I think if you look at the pieces they have, they
have good outside shooters and guys who can get to the rim. They have
good perimeter defenders, they have quality big players who could do a multitude of
things. But the pieces haven't fit in the toughest games they have played.
And they're going to play a team that's ranked in the top twenty five two
weeks from today, and that's going to be the first of many ranked teams
they play in the Big twelve. All right, all right, fantastic.
I wanted to ask you about UK because I have some very enthusiastic Wildcat fans,
as you can imagine in the bar that I work that I work in
in northern Kentucky, and was talking to one gentleman who has been kind of
a semi regular customer over the years, and he is very enthused, very
high on what Caliperry's cooking in Lexington. What have you seen so far from
the UK Wildcats? I would agree with that assessment. You know, they
they fit more the mold of the better John Caliperi teams that we've seen play
at Kentucky, I think more so than anything they've put on the floor over
the last three, four or five years. I don't think they're as talented
as some of those teams, but just the way they play, in the
way they built, just in terms of pure roster construction, I think would
be a little bit more reminiscent of you know, what he was able to
accomplish in the first half of his tenure at Kentucky when he was routinely getting
to the final four and winning SEC championships, as opposed to you the last
few years. When you know, to me, it wasn't that dissimilar from
what we said about UC, where it was just over the last few years,
a collection of good players, but not a cohesive unit that fit.
This seems a little bit more like a team that fits really really nicely with
very good players. I don't know that I consider them, you know,
Bonafied National Championship contender, but they're very very good. Obviously they're with over
Louisville. You know, Frankly was more about how did Louisville joy embarrassment in
that game against Kentucky, since that program is an absolute mess. But John
cala Perry's got a good team. He's got a team that's fun to watch.
Obviously they've had some hiccups. Losing the UNC Wilmington is not something that
you expect. They've got one of my favorite players in the country, and
Rob Dillingham, who's awfully fun to watch, can still it up very very
quickly. That's a good team that John cali Perry has and it feels like
again that this is more along the lines of the sort of team that Cal
had over the first you know, five six years of his tenure in Lexington.
In the last five or six years, what about this Shepherd kid terrific?
Yeah, no, they have they have They have guys who can come
at you in every conceivable way. And you know, he's obviously been terrific.
Was great the other night against Louisville. For those who haven't watched Kentucky
this year, you know, Caliperi is a polarizing figure. They play well,
they play cohesively, they have a lot of guys they can come at
you. They've had to play without bigs for large stretches. The times They're
really really good, fantastic. Let's focus on today bigger loss for the Bengals
on the end report Cam Taylor Britt or Jamar Chase or the fact that DJ
readers out for the year. What's the bigger deficit for the Bengals just in
this game today. Yeah. I think if you look at history, right
the last few weeks, they have survived without Cam Taylor Britt. Last year
they played four games without Jamar Chase, including one against Pittsburgh. They won
three of them. When did the Bengals really start to struggle last year defensively
when they lost DJ Reider? And I think what's frustrating is, you know,
you look at Jamar Chase, Okay, he's He's terrific. They have
other really good wide receivers. Cam Taylor Britt is fantastic. You would love
to have him. It's got some good pieces in the secondary Jobeya Wuzie is
healthy. What do they have to back up DJ Reader for a defense that
is already this year really struggled against the run. So I think that is
a huge absence. Now, Look, it's worth mentioning DJ got hurt last
week and when they had to be at the end of the game in overtime
last week on third and one and fourth and one, they were able to
get stops. But as a general rule, I think you could say that
Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, and DJ Reader are three of the five most
important players on the team. They have figured out ways to win without Jamar.
They've run the ball effectively over the last couple of weeks, and I
think that's going to be the interesting thing about today's game. Do they try
to run against the Steelers because they didn't the first time? But I think
that the loss that is maybe most troubling right now, as much as you
would love those other guys, is not having DJ Reader. What do you
think the dog is saying that's barking in the background. I think he is
saying, my wife is home from the grocery store. Your dog has a
wife, wife who also goes to the grocery store. This is a phenomenal
how about that? Yeah, you're a very very open minded pet owner.
We are, so, I mean the prospects for the do you feel like
this momentum the last uh the last two games is going to provide some impetus
today for these Bengals I mean, can they get over this hump in Pittsburgh?
And it is this? Are we looking at some degree of this team
is destined to do things that nobody expects. Well, I you know,
I think if first of all getting over the hump in Pittsburgh, they're playing
a place where they've won the last couple of years, so you know they're
it's it's not like going the Actresser Stadium has been a house of whoores recently
for for the Bengals. Uh So there's that. I think what's interesting about
this game is the Steelers came here a month ago and the Bengals said,
well, we can't run it against him, right, They carried they had
eight carries for Joe Mixon and that was it and scored ten points. That
was it. Yeah, yeah, And Zach Taylor says, and it was
Jake Browning's first starting Zach Taylor after the game says, well, you know
what, that's just how life is against the Steelers. Well, the Indianapolis
coach last week, playing with their third and fourth string running backs, ran
for over five yards to carry, proving yeah, you can't run it against
them. Now you don't have Jamar Chase you're still playing a backup quarterback.
To the Bengals say, look, we're not going to let the Steelers dictate
how we play offense, and we're going to use Chase brown who didn't get
a carry against Pittsburgh, and we're going to use Joe Mixon and we're going
to establish a run game, and then we're going to play off of that.
Or do they say we're going to put it on Jake Browning and see
if he can go win the game for us, as good as he has
been. I think that's an awfully dicey proposition. So I think that's the
interesting thing about this game. I think, from you know, a thirty
thousand foot view, I think if you look at the Bengals, if this
team can figure out a way to get into postseason, what a dangerous team,
because you will have gone in with a full head of steam. If
this is a playoff team, they have won I'm guessing two out of three,
which means they have won five out of six, which means they're getting
really good quarterback play. Getting to the postseason in itself will be an accomplishment.
They'll play in the playoffs with a degree of house money on the table,
and they've got a winning pedigree. They've won five playoff games over the
last two years. They've won tough playoff games on the road. They've got
a good winning corps. In an AFC where it really feels like it's more
wide open, if this team can get in, I'm not going to tell
you I think they're going to go to the super Bowl, but I think
they can be a really, really tough out. Now. You can't let
Mason Rudolph beats it today. You can't let a third string quarterback have his
way with you at home, and you can't fall behind against this team seventeen
to three like he did last week. But their favor today for a reason.
If they get this one today, they basically at all likelihood have to
win one of their last two, and if they do, I would not
rule out their chances of advancing in the postseason. No. I wish you
and yours uh and your your dog's wife a very merry Christmas. And just
know that when I see you, I have I have a gift for you.
It's a it's a used Orgami set. Callback well done. I'll talk
to you later, Bro. Thanks very Christmas. Mike Allan, what do
you got on the show today? Well, first of all, I'm among
some great company here with my friend Pete Bronson. Goode, thanks, my
