and he Ray and Dave for arm the Kings in the second wave of the
British invasion in the nineteen sixties. He is still kicking at the age of
seventy seven. They have a famous sibling rivalry, the Davies brothers. It's
almost been interesting to find out who was going to kill the other one first.
It hasn't happened yet, but there are bets being taken, and there
are people who are willing to pay for a pay per view deathmatch. I
think even as septagenarians, I think it would be perhaps entertaining, But anyway,
that's just me Gary Jeff Walker. Before we look ahead, I look
back at significant events and people tied to this particular date in history, including
but not limited to these and this date. In eighteen sixty five, President
Lincoln and the Confederate Vice President Alexander Stevens held a shipboard peace conference off the
Virginia Coast. The talks deadlocked over the issue of Southern autonomy. During World
War One. Nineteen seventeen, the United States broke off diplomatic relations with Germany.
The same day, the American cargo ship the SS Housatonic, sunk by
a U boat off Britain. This date in well, forget what it is
but it's a dark day in American history for sure. February third, the
sixteenth Amendment to the US Constitution, providing for a federal income tax ratified.
This was the beginning of the end in this country. Let me tell you
that during World War II, on February third, nineteen forty three, the
year, a US transport ship, the Dorchester, carrying troops to Greenland,
sank after being hit by German torpedoes in the Labrador Sea. Of more than
nine hundred men aboard, only two hundred and thirty survived that attack. This
is the day the music died historically, and people who are hip to rock
and roll and popular culture in this country going back to the fifties, you
know it well. We will examine it in full this morning at seven thirty
five with music Professor Jim La, Barbara Buddy Holly, Richie Allens JP.
The Big Boppa Richardson died in a small plane crash near clear Lake, Iowa.
The Soviet probe Lunari became the first man made object to make us offt
landing on the Moon. The year was nineteen sixty six. The Space Shuttle
Discovery lifted off on February third, nineteen ninety four. Nineteen ninety five,
that same space shuttle blasted off with a woman Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Eileen Collins
in the pilot's seat for the first time in NASA history. And nineteen ninety
eight on this data, US Marine plane sliced through the cable of a ski
gondola in Italy, carrying the car to plunge hundreds of feet, killing all
twenty inside. Let's see anything else, Oh, the birthday list. Besides
Night's Dave Davies this morning, football Hall of Famer Fran Tarkington, the master
scrambler who for years was the face of the Minnesota Vikings, got to four
Super Bowls, never won one. Blith Danner has a birthday today. Another
football Hall of Famer, Bob Greasy of the Miami Dolphins, who did win
a Super Bowl and had that perfect season, is having a seventy eighth birthday.
Singer Melanie which actually we found out that Melanie Sofka had passed last week.
It would have been her birthday. Morgan Fairchild m Morgan Fairchild, actor
Nathan Lane, Happy birthday, Lee Rinaldo Sonic Youth. Lowell Tollhurst of The
Cure is sixty four, the actor Keith Gordon, Michelle Green, Mar Attorney
has a birthday today, Daddy Yankee, Reggie Ton singer forty seven, anything
else, Oh, George Clooney's wife has a birthday today. Happy Birthday,
Amaul Matthew moy Rapper, Sean Kingston. The list is full enough. And
if it's your birthday, I hope it is absolutely the best birthday you could
imagine. Spent with the time, with time with people you love, doing
the things you love, all day long. Make it memorable. This is
the day that we're celebrating you. It's five point forty two. The weather
and sports just ahead on seven hundred WLW. This morning at nine Mike Allen
goes full thor and wields his mighty Devil of justice on seven hundred WLW.
It seems like everywhere you look right now, someone is sick this year.
Prepare your time. The fat rat in Pennsylvania was right, it looks like
springs here. It's not. But we can dream, can't we? Sunshine
and up to fifty to day fifty six on Sunday, around fifty on Monday
again again mostly sunny skies all the way through this period Tuesdays high at fifty
one. We're on the way. It's twenty six right now, seven one
hundred WL Sport. Here's Liam Tomlinson with a scoop on hoops. Iowa State.
Ohio State fell to Iowa on the road last year. Yeh, don't
state. Don't ever say Iowa State in relation to Iowa. They are two
different entities and it is slapping the face to Hawkeyes to have any kind of
relation to cyclones at all. Just remember this. I was a little bit
of an Iowa State fan growing up. Ohio State fell to Iowa on the
road last night, seventy nine to seventy seven. Yes, kill the Buckeyes.
The twenty first rank Dayton Flyers defeated the Saint Bonaventure Bonnis seventy six seventy
one at home last night to improve to eighteen and three on the seat.
That is one of the great stories in college basketball this year. What's happening
at UD The Ron Holmes led the Fires with thirty four points last night.
We have three local teams playing late in games tonight. Cincinnati is on the
road in Lubbock to face the fifteenth rank Texas Tech Red Raiders. Tip is
at six Pregame coverage begins at five thirty right here on seven hundred WLW Top
ten matchup at Reperrena between the tenth ranked Wildcats and the fifth ranked Tennessee Volunteers.
Both teams looks rebound off of loss this week. Tip is at eight
thirty and coverages on ESPN fifteen thirty and Last Savior looks to continue their winning
ways as they traveled to Paul. Tip is set for nine to thirty,
and all that action can be heard right here on seven hundred WLW. All
the action and the coverage correct, we both I believe? Yeah, no,
no, it's Pro Bowl weekend in Las Vegas? Where is it?
It's in Pro Bowl as in Orlando again? Or yeah in Florida. Now,
how do you feel, just personally and ask you to take your sports
reporter hat off? How do you feel about, uh, what they have
done with the Pro Bowl weekend? I feel like it's lost all of its
aura. I mean it's a little bit of fun. They might as well
do it with the Super Bowl. Is it's going to be in Vegas?
Have like they have? You watched You watched that skills on Thursday. I
didn't see it. Yeah, well Tua got like second to last. Dana
Orloski had a higher score than Tua, and he was just doing it in
his full ESPN suit, just off the off the desk, and he just
went out there and threw a ball better. But you understand the need to
change what the Pro Bowl was because the Pro Bowl wasn't a real game.
Yeah it was. It got great ratings, but it wasn't really football,
and neither is this I guess. Yeah, well, football is just one
of those sports you can't really have an all star game with. It's kind
of you don't want to go at each other's next, Like when Sean Taylor
murdered that punter on the fake punt. You can't be having that. No,
I agree, but yeah it doesn't. It feels it's kind of showy.
I mean, it's fun, but I think all Pro is worth more
than a Pro Bowl. The Bengals has two players selected for the Pro Bowl,
Jamar Chase and Trey Hendrickson. Mixon was an alternate and so was Orlando
Brown Junior. Did any did any of them? Were any of them going
to participate? Are they playing or acting out in this? In this fun
fest in Orlando this weekend. I guess we'll figure out Sunday. I looked
into it. I couldn't figure out who was there or not? Okay,
anything else on the sports desk. Fifty four days until opening day. Pitchers
and catchers report to good Year on February fourteenth. The first full squad workout
will be on February nineteenth, and the first spring training matchup is against the
Cleveland Guardians on February twenty fourth. That's right, and this year you'll really
unless what is it? The TV games are on Apple TV? Is that
what I'm telling I don't believe in the TV coverage. I listened to everything
right here on seven hundred WLW. God bless you your tune to news Radio
seven hundred WLW. In this week's Marketers Report, Dana Nusbaum, executive vice
president. Apollo Creed is dead. So anyway, Liam, may I speak
thank you? Yes. Carl Weathers, Apollo Creed also was in movies like
Predator and Happy Gilmore, has died at the age of seventy six. This
family said in a statement, we're deeply sad and to announce the passing of
Carl Weathers. He died peaceful in his sleep Thursday, February first, twenty
twenty four. Carl was an exceptional human being who lived in an extraordinary life
and it goes on through his contributions to film, television, the arts and
sports. He left us an indelible mark and is recognized worldwide in across generations.
He was a beloved brother, father, grandfather, partner and friend in
the first four Rocky movies. That's no small thing joining us in this this
morning kind of as our mostly silent observer. But but here now is uh
my friend Chris Thomas who stopped and he just wanted to see the new studios
and they're uh, they're a terrible disappointment, aren't they. Yes, they're
completely completely different from what I'm using seeing with the old studio. Yeah,
there's no sunlight, just it's well, yeah, you know, see see
what they did to turf Way Park, They've done the same thing to our
studios. It's too clean and all of the charm is gone from the old.
But it's great to have you in. So what do you what have
you been up to? You still driving for PEPSI? Uh, yes,
I am as of this at this moment, as of right now until they
until they hear this, all right, we got to get rid of that
dude, tell them what he's gonna say anyway, you know, just living
life the best I can, very good. That's all any of us can
do. So uh. Any thoughts on the passing of Apollo Creed, Carl
Weathers. You know, it's sad, but I uh anytime I hear living
in America always thinking I've seen in was that three four Rocky four four with
James Brown and him and him being so flamboyant. But he always backed it
up unless it was against Rocky whoever he was fighting. That's what I loved
about the man that character, I should say. So he was golden except
against Rocky. Yes, and the end of the movie. At the beginning
of the movie grade he always had it. At the end of the movie.
Yeah, But I love the freest that they had when they came down
to it, right, exactly when it when it came down to America versus
the rest of the world, Apollo Creed and Sylvester Stallone Rocky Balbo were absolutely
on the same team, brother completely all right, Well, I see Dick
is hanging. Have not heard from the Lovely Lady Lynette. But by the
way, Liam, I wanted to ask you if Lynette, I'm trying to
get the rules right on this podcast thing now where we can't. By the
way, if you want to hear the music professor this morning, you will
have to be listening at seven thirty five because it will not be on the
podcast later because of royalty and rights issues. If Liam, if you can
tell me, if Lynette calls in to sing something a cappella, can we
put that in the podcast or does that have to just stay on the air
only. I think it depends. If she wants her royalties, we glad
to make her sign a contract. Okay. The songs she sings I think
are fine. Oh you think so? Well, they're probably in public domain
because they're usually ancient hymns. But yeah, this is a brave new world
and I want the old one back. Five point fifty three thereabouts on a
Saturday morning, and we're hanging with Dick next on the Saturday morning edition on
seven hundred WLW, when there's an emerge from Dayton. Good morning, Good
morning, Gary Jeff and guests. How are you Gary Jeff and guest?
Good morning? Yeah, what are you doing? Buddy? We're doing well.
Thank you Sarah. And you sound like you're doing better than you were
last week or the week before. Oh yeah, I mean now this week
we rocked, we rocked uh, we rocked uh at the Dalcimer group and
then the scrummers were learning new songs. And then yesterday over at Scene and
we had about five of us and we were just rocking it. We played
about every song in the book yesterday. Now, when you say rocking it,
are you talking about you know, some some uh AC DC, some
Mega Death. What when you say rocking it? What? What do you
mean rocking it? What kind of selections? CLIs comes from? Uh?
I think he comes from Dayton heat or cattering. He played Honky Talk Women
and he did a little Margerittaville and he did my bucket got a hole in
it. And then Bob the oh gig Mountain Dew. We went over that
song at least fourteen some good old Mountain New, good Old Mountain Dew.
And then we have a singer that came in. He sings possible song.
We were doing a tribute like Circle Be Unbroken, All fly Away do Lower
down by the Riverside. We were just rocking away buddy, Well, it
sounds like a very lively jam session, no doubt, Dick, listen.
Uh, I gotta ask you, what do you do on weekends when there's
no football? Oh, this is gonna be bad. I don't like it.
Well, you better get used to a whole you better get used to
a whole bunch of it after because after after next weekend, there's no football
and the UFL does not count. I'm sorry, no, no, have
you worked from day date from Dayton? I don't know. We need to
connect with Dave from Dayton because you know. On February twenty fourth, a

Excuse me, let's go to lady Lynette, who has been waiting. Now.
Good morning, Lynnette, Good morning love. How are you? You
know what? I'm better now. I am better now since you called,
because I was just concerned. Now listen, Lynette, I'm gonna tell you
the same thing I told Dick. I hope we can arrange transportation for you
to come from Florence Park Care to Newport on Saturday the twenty fourth, when
we do the twenty seventh anniversary show of this show. We're doing the party
at Huddles. Yeah. I'm told joy of a lot of smoke there.
I'm allergic to cigarette smoke. Okay, well we'll put you in a big
bubble. Okay, how about that. I can't saying I'm sick. Oh
baby again the BAZUITI, I had a fever ninety eight five today days ago.
Well they just said take off there, I have upper respiratory. Well
I'm sorry to hear that, but ninety eight point five isn't really a fever,
right, And they said we got I've had two COVID tests and then
tomorrow I'll take my next one. And every other day we got to take
a COVID test. Don't I'm not a doctor, but I don't think it's
COVID. No. I thought it was a blue or pneumonia, but you
got pneumonia. You're convinced it's episode, right, Yeah, you know the
last time that you confess to having episode, and when we were talking on
the area, it must have been three or four years maybe five years ago,
if anyone's listening, and can get give me the full medical definition of
episody, because I'd never heard of it until you brought it up, and
then apparently it's a thing and people were calling me into and I forget now
what episode exactly is. So if you know, if you're listening and you
know what episode is. Please feel free to get in touch. You feel
better to walking New Moone and the Boogie. I love it. I love
you so much. I love you so I love you so much. You
feel bad, you're sick, and you still have that glorious sense of humor
and you're ready to rock and roll at any time. And I just love
that about you, Lenette. I really hate to call you to let you
know I am alive, but not well. How many times in the time
that I've been on the air twenty seven years, how many times do you
figure that you've died and come back? Uh? Sixty now sixty times?
Yeah, and Jesus has brought you back to life every single time. You
know, I'm one here They dinetic Calmus because of the life of my daddy
Carleton. He said, I pronounced Lynette dad, and I'm like, hey,
dude, find is But I can't saying that that. I was frozen
in the state, and I thought, oh, they don't call the funeral.
I sat at the table about six hours and I woke up and ate
dinner. It was cold, of course, and then it's two men that
you were dead a long dam this time, I thank him. Well.
Lynette, your phone's breaking up, but that is an amazing story as most
of yours are. Thank you and I love you, Lynette from the home
in Florence. Uh Dave is standing by old radio. Rick will be with
us. And if anybody can tell me the actual definition, the scientific definition
of EPIZOODI i'd like to know. When you're feeling overwhelmed and tired, I'm
here. He's smart and funny and genuine. He's one of a kind.
When you're concerned about work and your family, I'm here. When I listen
to Willie, I feel better about things. I'm here to eat. He's
your mind, provide honest information and conversation, and to raise your spirits.
Willie cares about me and my family. All you have to do is listen
to me. The great America. I want to be a great American,
just like Willie. You're Cummingham Monday at twelve noon on seven hundred w l
W Jeff Wellernissan dot com. Sometimes the groundhog's right, and I'm choosing to
believe that Pucksatani Phil was right yesterday when he said early spring condition. And
my buddy Chris Thomas is just kind of sitting here. He wanted to check
it out, so he will be the mostly silent listener unless I allow his
microphone to be on. Dave from Harrison Dave. I was concerned that I
had not heard from you by six o'clock, and then you tell me that
Liam Tomlinson was he was not doing his job and answering the phone when you
called the first time. Is that correct? I just figured he probably had
it. Yeah, do you know what the episode he is. I'm still
trying to figure this out. Someone explained it to it a long time.
It can't whatever it is, it can't get Lynnette. It's tried several times
and it just can't do it. So now that's amazing to me too.
And I you know, I don't have any reason to doubt the veracity of
our friend from Florence Park Care, but she claims that in the last twenty
seven years that I've been on the air on Saturday morning, she has died
at least sixty times and come back. So I don't think anything can get
Lynette. I agree she is protected by Almighty God or something. Yeah,
I mean, well, well, having belated JHD to uh, y'all,
there GHD groundhog day. Oh, okay, it's great. I was I
was raised by groundhogs. So you were raised by ground Yes, so you
you must have taken great umbrage when then New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio
dropped the groundhog in New York and killed it. That must have been a
terrible, terrible day for you and your groundhog family. I didn't realize that
had happened. But yes, yeah, definitely. You know else, you
know who else kind of resembles the groundhogs? Are you saying that you resemble
a groundhog? Well in manners of speaking yet okay, but who resembles a
groundhog? Dave? Well, her initials are the same g H and uh,
she's about the same hide. And I'm not exactly sure, but I
think she smells about the same too. What are you talking about? The
green hornet? The green horne? The green hornet does not resemble a groundhog.
What are you talking about? I don't know about that now. I
mean, she has she has a she has a weather beaver, So I
mean she is she is in touch, she is in touch with her woodland
friends. But I think that that's just that's kind of like rude to say
the green hornet, sorry, smells like a groundhog day. Well, the
ones I hung around were smelled pretty good. Did you hear about the Jack
camer band? The what Jack camer band? Did you hear about the Jack
camer band? Oh? I didn't hear about the Jack camer band. Tell
me about the Jackhammer music? Is their music is groundbreaking? Hey? Why
are elevator jokes so good? Why? Because they worked on many levels?
You know, I was excited to hear Apple might start selling its own cars,
but but then I learned they wouldn't support windows. I don't know why
I laughed. That is so stupid. But you know what you're you are
actually learning at the feet of the master me when it comes to joke telling,
and I appreciate your improvement and be able to snatch the jokes right out
of your hand before you close it. Snatch the pebble from my handweed hopper.
All right, Dave, take care, goodbye, see ya, so
long, bye, hang up, thank you. Time to talk with mister
Washburn Old radio Rick. How are you today? I'm confused, sir,
I am too well. Apple Apple can't Apple can't man you fix your cars
because they won't support Windows. What was that old joke about the Microsoft building
car but the problems that we shut down for no reason, left full of
the side of the road and just reboot it for Yeah, So what were
you going to say? I'm sorry, Oh that's okay. Now this is
This has been an interesting trip. I was hoping to hear you in stereo.
Not really this morning. But I've got two identical radios on the bench,
and one of them has come to life, and it is the most
amazing thing in recent times. That's been on the bench for nineteen thirty five.
It's a General Electric E one oh five. It is one of the
few COLORAMA models. General Electric was kind of funny because even though General Electric,
Westinghouse, and RCA were all sort of kind of the same company back
then, the GE models were always unique looking and a bit subdued, and
they had Zenithan Crosley and Philco and you know, taller, lighter, deeper,
louder, et cetera. The GE sets were excellent radios, but they
want that large typically and they had some kind of i would say, not
odd necessarily, but unique styling and so forth. This one's no different.
It's a console it's not as big as many consoles, not to say that
it's tiny, but it's shorter and shallow. It is somewhat ornate. The
cabinet fittings are interesting, but this thing is jam packed with features. I
had as everything from an ONA switch for automatic frequency control, which nobody ever
even thinks about pre FM, but this one had one and ten tubes,
which includes not only an RF stage for better reception, but a second IF
stage. The design is more like a communications receiver. It is an amazing
DXer. But on top of all that is the epitome of whatever it is.
This was built and designed the same year that RCA came out with the
idea and started manufacturing magic itubes, and GE wanted to come up with a
way to show your tuning strength when you're tuning in the station. Yeah,
so seven dial amps, four of them are red, three of them are
green, and they reactor coil, which was the Both of those features parts
of this were the bane of the existence of servicemen who had no idea what
the heck they were looking at. But basically, you turn on the radio
and the dial glows red and then when you tune in the station, it
switches to green. It is undescribable how incredibly wonderful single looks. It's weird,
scragile, but it works. And that reactor coil. Some people have
asked me if you know had a nuclear party that or something, but I
think they renamed it to be the episode coil good call back. Yeah,
that's right, I tried. So automatic tuning control explain that for people that
are not maybe are too young to understand or have ever seen a device with
a radio with automatic tuning control, to explain exactly what that does. Yeah,
that's a good point. A lot of the early FM radios early not
the earliest, but early ones, you'd have FM and FMAFC or automatic frequency
control. This is the same thing. Basically, you have two options.
It turned off, it's easier to tune in a station, but that station
may wander and you may have to go back and retune the radio, Whereas
if you turn it on, it'll sort of lock the station in so it
doesn't go wandering. But then it's very hard to tune, or it's harder
to tune if you have two stations that are close together. So typically what
one would do is turn the ASC off, tune in the station and then
turn it on so it doesn't go a wandering and it's somewhat I don't know
if ironic is the right word. With the work that I've done on this
radio and others, it's not that effective because modern capacitors are much more stable
than the old organic wax and paper ones were back in the day, and
that's what they were trying to overcome was their flexibility. Well, that's that's
an excellent, excellent description. I appreciate that listening. It might even be
accurate. I appreciate you too, man. I look forward to seeing you
soon. Old Radio Rick at gmail dot com to get in touch with Rick

guys. Have a fantastic weekend. Doug, travel safely. I know you
and your wife are heading out somewhere. And Steve from at In, Ohio
is standing by with another pithyphone calling News of the week at six forty at
seven hundred WLW seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati, available everywhere with the iHeartRadio app
number one for podcasting seven hundred WLW and iHeartRadio station. I expect it to
be a lot easier. I thought it was going to be a piece of
cake. I didn't know what's up to take Nextransitioning from the military. I
was a vehicle gunner, an abionic specialist. I was an MP military police.
My friends thought I could do anything. I missed my unit, my
family, playing with my daughter. I felt like a stranger. I was
overwhelmed. I couldn't sleep. I just wanted to be by myself. I
didn't have a clear sense of what to do next. I was too proud.
And then I thought, if I'm going through this, other veterans have
gone through too, right. I started to open up and it made a
huge difference. So I reached out and I saw that I wasn't alone,
because before I was able to take on my next mission, I had to
take on just taking care of myself. It's a fine purpose. Go to
make the connection dot net to learn how other veterans have overcome the challenges of
transitioning out of the military. Are you a business owner, CEO or responsible?
From our friends west Side Jim short lived herb epi zoo. He spells
an eposuti worm seed looks like let us used in Mexican cooking. All right,
well, I don't think that's describing a malady, but anyway, six
forty five on a Saturday morning edition seven hunderd WLW and my friend Steve from
at Ohio standing by with news of the week. Good morning, Stephen,
Good morning, Gary, Jeff, good morning Chris. Sadly, well,
this is so sad news from the Keystone State. Gary Jeff Yes Punk Satawny
Phil was clobbered to death as soon as he left his hole. In western
Pennsylvania. This week, eight illegal immigrants savagely beat the Rowton rodent senseless.
They were arrested and appeared before a SOURUS appointed judge and immediately released no surprise
there, apologizing for their error. They thought that Phil was a New York
York City cop Martin Luther Biden. Thank you, Martin Luther Biden, self
proclaimed father of the modern civil rights movement. I thought it was Martin Luther
King. Anyway, put the hammer down on those pesky Muslim terrorists who killed
three of our soldiers this week. Clearly scared to death, they ran away
like the nasty bullies they are, and several hundred are suspected to have sought
sanctuary in Chicago, New York and DC. That'll teach them. A jury
in the aforementioned Big Apple told Donald Trump he has to pay that defendant in
that civil law suit for libel eighty three million bucks. She claimed rape.
A previous jury found no such proof. She also refers to rape as sexy
huh, and she quickly hit the talk shows. Laughing about how now she's
going to spend all that money on clothes and vacations. Makes me recall Gary
Jeff that another New York City denizen, Al Sharpton. Excuse me, Reverend
Al still hasn't paid a dime to that cop that he libeled in the Tijuana
brawley case. Huh, well, you mean when he got people killed too,
Yes, strange justice system. Anyway, At this point, I'd like
to review some of the libels committed against Donald Trump. Yeh, the one
that never goes away. He's racist. Let's examine that. Currently, we've
actually caught hundreds, maybe thousands of illegals crossing the border who had long records
for rape, human smuggling, sex trafficking, and terrorism. Trump was excoriated
in twenty seventeen for acts saying the open border would bring us this fresh blood
no pun intended. Likewise, the Donald was called anti Jewish, despite the
fact this is amazing that his daughter and son in law are Orthodox Jews.
And where are the major jew haters and government today? It's the squad in
the Democrat Party of Martin Luther Biden. Ah. Yes, yes, he
hates Muslims. That started with a Muslim father of an American serviceman who was
killed in the Middle East. Remember this one. At the Democrat National Convention
in twenty sixteen, Papa railed against Trump's putting controls on immigration from Muslim terrorists
enclaves. One had to wonder why a father whose son was killed by Arab
terrorists would take that stance. Doesn't make sense. Yes, Trump put the
Hooties on that terrorist watch list and Biden took him off. And what are
they doing now? They're raising hell with shipping. And do you remember that
Phiser knew five days before the twenty twenty election that they had been given the
green light for the COVID vaccine, But then they waited until two days after
the election when Martin Luther Biden defeated Trump to reveal that, huh could it
be that Trump was the only president in my or your lifetime to come down
hard on big pharma and drug costs? Heard any Democrats screaming lately about drug
costs? See I have Hey, how many people did Pheiser kill? How
many people did Fauci kill? George Floyd the drug dealer? How many did
he kill? You know, the hero? Here's one for you folks when
you go into that voting booth. I hope you do in November, when
the door is open to the border. Your front door is next. Well,
now, on a lighter note, earlier, Gary Jeff, you said
I love to cast the first part of the show. I hope everybody does.
Pitchers and catchers report are the four most beautiful words. Well, actually,
Gary Jeff, if you bundle them, it's only one. I know
I've been I've been listening to too many insurance watching TV. I know I
got way too much time of my AADs. I just wanted to do this
as the football season ends. Did you ever notice some football players it goes
for baseball too, actually have great last names. I mean it's like they
were bold to be what they became. And this week I was thinking of
the two best examples for a wide receiver and they are decades apart. The
first one comes from my youth, Mac Speedy of the Cleveland Browns in the
nineteen fifties glory years up there, and the other one more recent he's doing
a commentary on Eagles games now, is Mike Quick. Could you have a
better last name? I'm just thinking, you know, if you want your
you know, your kid comes out and he's you know, he's twelve pounds,
so you know he's going to be a monster. And you're thinking,
oh my god, I got a great football player and he's going to build
us a house, you know and everything. And they say, well,
what's what's our last name? Jones? Are you kidding me? You got
to change your name to oh, I don't know, something like badass.
And your kid is guaranteed to hit the Hall of Fame. What'd you say?
Well, I got one more for you. I got one more for
you all right. Back in the seventies, I believe in the seventies and
eighties, there was a center starting center for the Phoenix Suns whose name was
Neil Walk. Guess what Neil Walk was famous for traveling. That is great,
Hey, take care of yourself all right. Thank you, Steve from
at Ohio. With another pithy phone call, let's talk to my friend Ray
from Lovelin just a moment. Good morning, brother Ray Scott. How are
you Martin? Gary? Jeff Walker, my friend with your award winning show
is awesome, awesome and this is so cool it Chris is there this morning
because I've got an idea. He's gone on the idea he left, he
left already. Well what was it? What was the idea for next time?
Ray? Well, you know our dog Leiah. Her world revolves around
her world revolves around three things. Billy Rubbs, bacon, and French fries.
Yep. And I'm thinking about yours store, a good song, one
Scotch, one bourbon, one beer. Yeah, and I'm thinking about you
know, Willie Nelson, David allen Coe, Alan Jackson is ish. Maybe
you guys can turn that into something, you know, I don't know.
I'm just throw it out there, just throwing it out there, all right,
or a name of them album, possibly under under advisement? Do you
have a definition for the mysterious illness known as epizoudie? Do you know about
this? I feel like I've completed my college degree this morning, even hearing
that what was going on. I didn't even know about this situation until I
heard you guys talking about with Ripley Buddy's there. I don't know, clue,
no clue. It's the first time I've actually even cognize of it.
I hate to tell you, Well, No, Lynette. Lynette brought it
up about four or five years ago, and then the episode where she was
feeling ill passed and we never talked about Epizoodie again. And now it's come
back up. Apparently it's running rampant through Florence Park Care. And I'm just
wondering when Pfizer will develop an mRNA vaccine to combat the epizooti epidemic. Well,
the first thing's going to happen is a lockdown and then get all the
ballots out there or all the mail in ballots in some holders. We have
to get Meta and Facebook to fund that operation just in time for the election
this fall. So that's probably why will happened first, then the vaccination.
Well, you know, and Steve from Mena mentioned he hasn't heard any Democrat
lawmakers talk about big pharma ripping off the consumer and prices. So what I'm
saying is that's because they don't want to endanger Pfiser's money, because they don't
want to endanger their own. Well it does, you know the green solid
Yeah, it cuts back on their kickbacks if they pressure Pfizer too much or
any of the rest of them. Ray God bless you have a fantastic weekend,
my friend. You two brother all the best, Bye bye, you
got it and Timothy knows episode Timothy, what can you tell me about this
terrible, terrible dread disease Episodey Well, it's actually a takeoff on from epizootic.
All right. Epizootic is a pantamount to an epidemic among animals. Okay,
So if you've got a disease that's widespread among a population of animals,
like in cattle, it might be uh, you know, like bovine spongor
form and supple office or deer, you got the chronic wasting disease, yeah,
avian flu. Saying thing like that, anything that's like an epidemic among
the population of animals would be an epizootic, And then I think she just
serves that as the episodee. So epizootic basically is is not not human,
is what you're saying? Right? So our humans are animals? Well we
are, we are, but that term is not usually used with human beings,
Is that correct? No? Right? Yeah, all right, all
right, So epizoudi is just kind of a derivation of epizootic, which pertains
to any disease that is transferred easily between animals. Thank you very much.
For the clarification, Timothy, Now I've I've learned something. Now, thank
you, Thank you, Timothy, and thank you Lynette, and thank you
for putting up with all of this. Six fifty six at seven hundred WLW
explore bizarre Tales in the very special Episodere Steve Schulte on this Saturday morning,
I see true so green red roses, I see them blue fo you,
and I think to myself what I wonder? Good morning, good morning,
good morning. Six minutes after the hour, and once again Steve Shulty joins
us, Well, Steve, we skated through another hurricane season almost completely unscathed.
Correct. Correct, So this comes from the Climate Change Weekly number four
ninety five issues actually let yesterday from heartland dot org. So anybody wants to
get some great information heartland dot org headline global hurricane update, no detectable change
despite warning warning of the Earth. New research from Professor Telki the University of
Colorado at Boulder and research meteorologist doctor Malley suggests that there may may may have
been a slight uptick on global landfalling of major hurricanes since nineteen seventy but none,
nothing, nothing at all of minor hurricanes landfalling. However, in their
research they say, will you begin the analysis in nineteen fifty in the western
North Pacific and in the North Atlantic, where we have very reliable long term
data, one finds no may I repeat, no upward trend in either major
or minor hurricane landfalling. And furthermore, in their research they noted, and
this is a quote Gary Jeff quote, in technical terms, detection of change
has not been achieved, which is fully consistent with the scientific consensus. Yes,
I hate that turnt anyway, because consensus is not science. And what
they're basically saying. What they're basically saying is driving your car, your gas
powered car, or using your gas grill or your gas stove, or using
any other kind of fossil fuel is not causing the heightened severity or the increased
the increased occurrence of hurricane. As we've been told time and time again by
the liars, You're right. But what they're saying is that even the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the UN interne Governmental Panel of Climate Change agree with
this. And they further out say, given the large variability in tropical cyclones
which is another name for hurricanes, data can be easily cherry picked to identify
spurious claims. Quotes quote, and also part of the research comes from a
doctor Phil Klotzbach, and he looks at what's called hurricane severity over time,
and they use a term called accumulated cyclone energy, which is a measurement over
each year of hurricane frequency, intensity, and longevity. He found that even
as our planet has modestly warmed, if it has, there has been no
increase since nineteen eighty of this accumulated cyclone energy. So despite how you measure
it, what metric do you use, there's absolutely no evidence that climate change
is causing more frequent or powerful hurricanes. And Gary Jeff as you know that
these lies and falsets continued to be spewed by the drive by media. And
even though I'm retired, I get a lot of trade publications, you know,
and environmental issues and whatnot, and even in those publications, this lie
is almost every issue I read, there's some article in there spewing this lie.
It's amazing. So what it is, and you know as well as
I know, whenever there's an isolated extreme weather event, whether it's a hurricane,
a tornado, a hot spell, a cold spell. It's all due
to man made climate change, which is absolutely crap. It's just crap.
Period. Let's talk about urban gardens, and you know, I think it's
a wonderful thing that people in the city want a taste of the country to
row their own things. But if you're worried about carbon, urban gardens really
aren't a good thing, are they. Another article is a headliner. Urban
agriculture produces more carbon dioxizing conventional agriculture. And you know, for whatever the
reasons, there's a lot of reasons why people do urban garbon carbon urban gardens.
I'm in the carbon frame. But this study, even in it was
published in the journal Nature and gar Jeff Nature, is not it's all into
global climate change. Made by many researchers. A team of researchers from the
UK, United States, Canada, France, Germany and Poland and led by
the University of Michigan did the first study. This is the first laser focused
study on urban agriculture and whether or not and it's impact on carbon footprint.
They found that the crops produced on urban farms and gardens produced six times more
s too on average van crops from conventional farms. So if there's any other
reason to do urban farming, it is not to reduce carbon footprint. Well,
and what it basically means, since CO two is beneficial and necessary,
let's have some more rooftop gardens. I'm all for it, Steve SHELTI have
a great weekend, my friend. As always, we got Rocco on the
way and Tom Davis Diaries. It's twelve minutes past the hour. It's seven
hundred WLW. Meanwhile, in the enchented forest there's a fairy godmother. I
bet you're gonna see Cinderella. I suppose are you going to make her a
beautiful dress for the ball? I don't know what's in it for me,
but you're a fairy godmother and all I do is kids. How about little
something for me? Like what? I'd like to listen to Eddian Rocky.
They're funny. What if you put a radio in her pumpkin carry? We
should all listen to Eddian Rocky. Excellent idea. Eddie and Rocky give your
day a fairy tale? Ended Eddie and rock Monday afternoon at three on seven
hundred WLW. In Today's Marketers Report, Kate Cronin Chief brand officer of Moderna
weighs in on the speed Your time for a chat with our friend Rocco Costellano
the first Dawn of Fitness in the Tri State and here he is, Hello,
Don Costellano. How are you? Hey, Gary, Jeff? How
you doing today? Doing fine? So it's a great great to have you
back after a week off. Everything. Okay, yeah, everything was great.
I wanted to you know, last week we talked on the Nightcap about
floor Ride and I wanted to give a quick update on the lawsuits are going
very well against the EPA, and I wanted people to, you know,
to realize, especially on the Saturday show, where the fluoride comes from.
That you know, a lot of people think that the fluoride that goes into
the water is actually of you know, like they buy fluoride and they float
in the water. Actually that's not what happens. Okay, there are stacks.
So most of the time from the fluorid, well, the floorid's used
as a flux for aluminum in the illumine of like Alcoa, like the big
aluminum company uses uses fluoride as the flux so that it doesn't have to be
heated that much. But then then they use a scrubber in the stack to
collect the waste fluoride, and and they decided to use use fluoride, not
really to fix teeth like everybody thinks, but they used it to dilute,
to actually dilute the toxicity of the floor hide. So when they they put
the fluoride in, they had no place to put the waste, the really
really really toxic fluoride, so they decided it would be a better idea to
put it in the drinking what because they believed that that a dilution was the
pollution solution. So, uh so that's where. So that's how and why
explained to people. Explain to people what flux is, because I'm not really
sure what flux is either. You say you use it in production of aluminum
as a flux, what is that? I know, I know the flux,
I know the flux capacitor I've seen back to the future. But right,
well, flux is a they put the floor right on the aluminum in
order to bring down the flash point or a flux basically makes makes metal much
much easier to melt. Okay, that's basically what it does. And so
that's what fluoride or fluorine actually does. I wonder what it does inside your
body when you drink water that's been treated with this fluoride waste be fluoride,
it actually brings down your IQ. It damages it definitely damages your brain tissue.
We know that. That So what you're saying in essence then in twenty
twenty four is that Democrats consume a lot of fluoride. Obviously. Oh absolutely,
I believe that wholeheartedly. That. All right, Rocco. I hope
to have you on a nightcap maybe on Tuesday night. Yep for it.
Yeah, all right, Rocko Costallano getting physical on a Saturday morning. And
now it's time for the Tom Davis Diaries, which I like to refer to
as the diary with wild, wacky stories from around the world in the country,
like the naked Florida woman who barged into a gas station and threatened to
kill staff with an apple peeler. Tom, Good morning, Gary, Jeff.
This week are we ever too old for Love? But first, in
Tennessee, a couple came home to find their house had been broken into,
and as they stepped inside, they realized the culprit was still in the house.
Was it the creaky floor, Was it rummaging in the next room.
No, it was this guy sitting naked on their couch. He had just
got out of a shower. They simply backed out, called the cops,
and they took him away. Some guy in India is proving that love is
blind or she is. His name is Habib Nazar and he's a newlywed at
one hundred three. His new bride is forty nine years old. They say
their love is proof that age is just a number when it comes to finding
happiness and companionship. But people say a lot of things. In this crazy
world. There are bad guys, and then there are really bad guys.
And I'm not talking about Vince McMahon. I'm talking about this guy in Connecticut
who stole an ice cream truck. Not only did he squash the dreams of
every kid in the neighborhood, but he crashed it and thirty thousand dollars worth
of ice cream went to waste. And finally, things are getting really kooky.
In New Hampshire, some guy just opened up an adult diaper spa,
a place where adults can go and engage in infant like activities social media calling
it sick and disturbing, But if you'd like to be a baby for a
day, prices range from three hundred to fifteen hundred dollars. Next week,
some joker in Montana steals every single traffic sign in town. All fifty seven
have a great weekend. Let's talk about Scott's Loan. When do you listen?
I like to listen while I'm walking the dog. That sounds like fun.
I like to listen to his show while I'm in the steam room.
Oh, I might dry that one. I like to listen to a show
while I'm at work because it drowns out the sound of my idiot boss.
Not a bad idea. I listened to his podcast when my husband is watching
one of those stupid Star Wars movies. I guess anytime is the right time
for Sloany. You got that right. Scott Sloan Monday morning at nine on
seven hundred WLW, and check out his podcast on the free iHeartRadio app WI
Dry for your Sunday with the high of fifty three, more warm weather heading
into next week from your silver weather station. I'm nine first Warning Meterologists.
Raven Richard, News Radio seven hundred WLW seven one hundred at WLW Sport William
Tomlinson standing by with some college football, no basketball. I'm sorry, we're
into basketball, aren't we, which is a lesser sport than college football and
really shouldn't be a donated too much time to. But since that's all we've
got, I mean, we could talk college football with this transfer portal news.
Kentucky's offensive coordinators also leaving the Go Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Liam Cohen,
Well, what's the other transfer portal news? Just never know what these kids
going in the transfer portal. You've seen the Doctor Pepper ad where the transfer
transfer portal just appears like a black hole and sucks the team's quarterback in entire
defensive way. I have not but the Doctor Pepper commercials college football I've never
missed. All Right, Well, there you go. It's a new fan
Fanville kind of thing. So college basketball though in center stage this weekend because
all that's going on in the NFL is flag football tomorrow in Orlando. Yeah,
big college basketball seat today, first weekend without football, So they're going
big, big rivalry matchups. Kansas Houston, that's a good matchup. Yukon
at Saint John's start off the day. Are you a Rick Patino guy?
Yeah, I mean unless unless I'm his athletic and he's sleeping with my wife.
Other than that, I'm a huge Patino fan. Yeah. Yeah.
Marquette at Georgetown, Texas at TCU. Some of these games to start today.
Arkansas at LSU is at noon, Penn State is at Indiana at noon,

plays in a top ten ranked matchup today versus Tennessee Volunteers. Both teams are
coming off the loss this week. Tip is at eight thirty and that coverage
is on ESPN fifteen thirty. Thank you, sir, Jim called early.
In fact, Tim called last week when there was some discussion of veganism,
and he never got a I gotta give you a credit, Jim. You
hung on like a hair and a grilled cheese sandwich. I was extremely busy
last Saturday night, couldn't get to you before the show ended. But you
had a comment on vegans that you wanted to make last week and you still
want to make apparently, Yes, I just wanted to I know you,
being the fair man that you are one to give both sides of this topic.
And I wanted to take a couple issues with the collar about veganism.
And you know, she said most a lot of vegans are radical, and
she was in and I do appreciate that, but I wanted to take issue
with a couple of things she said. One she referred to a study about
how veganism is a healthy lifestyle choice, and that simply is of the case.
The American Heart Association recommends six ounces of lean beef a day, and
so I always tend to lean towards whoever funds the study. Usually you get
the results that you want. And the other thing is she talked about the
humane treatment of animals. I remember, I believe it of the Ohio Cattiman's
Association and we go above and beyond to make sure that our cattle are humanely
and well treated, access to the best nutrition pop possible. Not only that
d of our showcout or placed in Eric. You're you're breaking up, Tim,
You're in a bad cell apparently again? Are you there? Hello?
Hello, hey on, just get a bad spot. Who's your provider?
Tim? Jim? Yeah? Can you hear me now? I can hear
you now? Who's your provider? A T and T I'm between that's that's
a bad Yeah, I've got it. I've got a buddy. I've got
a buddy who lives in Ripley and uh and he has problems out I don't
know what it is on the east side of Cincinnati. You get out in
the country and and you can barely get a signal. Yeah, I'm better
now there's a bridge. He's good to do that least signal. But uh.
Anyway, anyway, and I would invite her to come to any calcat
producer in Ohio, and I think she would be amazed at the the standards
that we have in place to see that our cattle are well cared for,
and not only that its economically makes sense if our cattle are healthy, they
are more profitable for us. Well, certainly, certainly, you know.
And I remember years ago there was a there was a cattle farm and this
was actually in southern Illinois. We lived outside of Saint Louis when I was
a kid, but there was a huge sign right next to their pasture and
said, all of our cows die happy, eat our hamburger. There you
go anyway, I just I just wanted to get that information out there,
and I hope that everyone eat beef. All right, Well, we'll call
back, and you remember the Ohio Cattleman's Association, as you stated, correct,
Yeah, make sure I'm going to put you on hold. Make sure
Liam gets your phone number because I'd like to order a side from you.
I'll see what I can do. All right. That's Tim from People's Ohio
this morning. Kind of kind of dissing some of the vegan commentary that was
made, I believe by Diane last week. Now we started a vegan carnivore
war, which is what I was really going for in the first place.
Seven twenty eight and some change. The music professor Jim Lebarbara coming up with
this week's rock and Roll Archaeology, and again if you want to hear Rock
and Roll archaeology, you can only hear it this morning on the air.

I don't understand. It's a Saturday morning. Glad to have you with us

Service Office can help perfectly fine with me, but you know, just don't
put that in my face, please, I don't even know what that means.
Into another hour and it's time for a science minute. And our friend
science Mike who's on the line, look forward to this every Saturday month,
And apparently he does too, because he keeps calling yes as a night scientists,
surprising all binding me, Michael, good morning. Don't don't you look
forward to our our little get togethers every Saturday morning. You must, because
you've been doing it now for years. The way you said it was like
God, stop calling me. No, I didn't mean it that way.
I did not mean it. But I mean you must enjoy it, or
you wouldn't. You wouldn't get up on Saturday mornings and do this. I
mean, you're you're like me. You haven't got a raise doing this show
in almost thirty years. Well, I haven't put up much of a squawk
about it, Cary Jeff. You know you get what you pay for it
too, So remember that, yes, and that that sometimes is the case.
Michael. Uh. But but this, but this morning, surprise us.
I'm surprised you with the headline from the CDC the U out of control
epidemic. And what do you think that is, Gary Jeff, Now that's
t I specifically simpless oh, STDs, SDDS as well. Yeah, st
I was like the Star Wars initiative. We're we're going to combat We're going
to combat the threat of Soviet missiles with venereal disease. We're kind of shoot
them down with a laser, that's right something. So anyway, so we
got the the epidemic of the ft C is gonna be CDC said, now,
some of the stats they have, Gary Jeff, is simplest. They
have different stages through stages, but all stages of simplis have increased by eight
in the past five years. And but what the the sad part is is
not only do you have adult obviously simples, you have what they call congeneral
siphilis from when the mother passes it on to the child. And for the
twenty two in the last ten years of nine hundred and thirty seven percent increase
in congenital siphless cases and newborns, and that this last year it's been increased
by thirty one percent, and it's disproportionately affecting the African American communities. So
you know, they don't really tie it in. But we've had a lot
of other issues happening in this country in the last ten years, like immigration
issues and things like that. So I don't know how these are tied in
together, if they are even at all, But it seems like we have
a lot of things we can't handle on anything. I think that there's also
this may play a role in it, Mike. And then if you watch
television commercials at all, and I try not to, but it's it's hard
if you've got the boob chow bomb for any length of time to miss them.
But like the New AIDS prep the HIV prep commercials, you know,
they're very quick to recognize at the end, but very briefly, this is
not this is not good at controlling other sexually transmitted diseases. And I think
people just think they've taken a pill so they're immune from everything. And I'm
sorry, pills and vaccines aren't the end all, be all answer. That
we are being fed by drug companies and you should pay heed and warning to
the fact that if you really want to prep to prevent yourself from getting HIV
or any other st D, then either practice safe sex or abstain. How
about that that's the only real preventative. The the drug companies, they're going
to produce their medicines, and they're going to tell it, like you said,
And do you show me a legislature in the country that doesn't get a
donation from a drug Oh well no, no, I mean they would never,
they would never seriously go after Pfizer and any of the other big pharmaceutical
companies because they don't want to miss a paycheck. You're absolutely correct, all
right, Mike, Thank you very much for that. Yeah, and I
am looking forward to February twenty fourth, too, three weeks from today,
the anniversary party, and hope to see you there. It's ten minutes past

Brother Rick Green. How are you doing? Praise God? It's great to
have you with us. Good morning, Gary. I walk up praying for
you and your listeners. And Gary, today is a sad and special day
for me. Today. My oldest son is thirty eight, my first born.
I won't say it name Gary, because I don't know if you want
me to, but I do love him and I do pray for him every
day. Well, I know that you had some obviously a big life change,
and you had some issues when your first son was born, and I
can only pray that someday that that is fully repaired, that God will do
that. And it's it's only sad because you're not in communication. But I
know that your heart is with him and it always will be no doubt,
Garry, and today, Gary, I love this verse because if a constant
reminder of who we are and who we aren't. We're coming from First Corinthian,
Chapter three, verse seven. It says, so neither the one who
plants nor the one who water is anything but only God who makes things grow.
That deep any Gary, Read it again, Rick, It says,
so neither the one who plants nor the one who water is anything but only
God who makes things grow. You know what, Here's how I and I
think about this a lot, and I'm serious, is that people who say,
like to listen to this show in the radio, well, people who
throw kudos my way, man, that was a great show. You did
a great job. I have to stop and realize, for Ego's sake and
for Truth's sake, that without God, nothing I do would come to anything
and and everything. Every good thing that we get credit for, the credit,
the glory actually belongs to the maker, not the creator, not the
creation. And we should all remember that and keep that level of humility.
I think in the wake of eternity and what's holy and what is right?
Hey man, Gary, in my life drastically changed when I accepted the fact
The only thing good about me is God. Yeah, that's it. That's
right. It ain't well, thanks, but it ain't me, believe Rick

who've been firing missiles who killed three of our American service people, of course
at the Basin Jordan. Earlier in the week, the Biden administration staunched that
they would have a definite response to this. And once again they're shelling empty
warehouses and places where apparently the Iranian Revolutionary Guard their proxies were hanging out.
They gave them plenty of time to get out, and so it meant nothing.
And the Biden administration continues to say, we're not looking for a wider,
broader war in the Middle East. Well, of course nobody is.
The fact of the matter is Iran has been at war with US since nineteen
seventy nine. We may not be at war with Iran, but they have
been at war with America, specifically the United States of America, and of
course Israel, our friend in the Middle East. But Iran has been at
war with US since nineteen seventy nine, forty five years the day that they
took our embassy in Tehran. American is embassy, it's just like any embassy
anywhere in the world by international law. That is American soil. In Iran,
just like the English embassy or the Russian embassy in this country is Russian
soil. And those diplomats are immune from prosecution under American laws because they're technically
in their own country when they're on their compound. So, in other words,
if we attacked the Russian embassy in New York or any other country's embassy,
that would be an act of war. Iran declared war on US in
nineteen seventy nine when the Shaw fell and the Iatolas took over and the Muslim
Islamists had control and took fifty two American hostages captive for four hundred and forty
four days. All of this is an act of war, but we never
played along and outside of Reagan finagling away to get the hostages back through back
channels like Jimmy Carter couldn't by selling weapons or whatever, we continued. President
Obama gave pallets billions of dollars of cash to Iran in exchange for this that
or the other, a country we're at war at with. Joe Biden gave
them money and eased all the sanctions that Donald Trump had put in place,
which had so bankrupted the Iranian economy that they could not afford to wage war
against us. There was a little ceasefire because we weren't given them the cash
and the ability to wage war on us in Israel, and they don't want
a wider war in Washington. Well, guess what, guys, it's been
going on for forty five years. Does that mean light up Tehran, turn
the whole country into glass? No, but she gotta cut off the spicott
where the dollars are flowing out of. That is financing the Houthi rebels,
hesbelah Hamas at, all of Islamic g food for thought, don't eat too
much, but you say you don't want to. You don't want our country
to be involved in a war against Iran. We're smack dab in the middle
of one. Wake Up America, eight twenty eight. It's seven hundred WLW.

like I did. First, I did some reading about it. I found
a lot of great advice on how to quit smoking and picked out the ways
I thought would work best for me. I started by setting a quit date.
Then I threw out my ash trays, lighters, and matches. I
did other things too, like exercising more, and it worked, but I'd
still get cravings, especially on long car rides. To help me with that,
I put a picture of my mother in my car. She died of
lung cancer from smoking cigarettes when I was only sixteen. Now I have a
sixteen year old daughter. That picture of my mother reminds me that I don't
want to miss all the things my daughter is going to do in her life,

It's like the bottom of the nine an of never on when this five hasn't
done out quite the wall of the be doing what you want oh on a
brand new house, sound of an episode of Crams and bathroom ax and play
baseball and me just want to be a big old rock star, right seven
w l W. Let me tell you never been a rock star. I
don't think it's all it's cracked up to be talking about the cult of personality
and sports, which have intersected once again and much more with our friend Moe
Egger. Hey, Mo, what's going on. It's going well, going
well, everything's good, everything's fine, hunky dory. But I'm just I
was wondering about since this is really when it comes to the Super Bowl and
the lead up to the Super Bowl, it's all about the hype. It's
all about the celebrity. It's all about celebrities that are periphery to the game.
And you know, we've seen that in spades again this year with the
likes of Taylor Swift and all of the big endorsers sports related endorsers that are
out there, and you know, everything from Ryan Fitzpatrick, which I don't
know if that's a big celebrity endorser, but he's making some coin, no
doubt about it. But I wanted to ask you of all the sports personalities
who have big endorsement contracts or deals or on the commercials. Do you have
a favorite? Because I still kind of leaned towards Peyton Manning. I think
he's and obviously in demand and getting paid a lot of money from different sponsors.
But do you have a favorite sports celebrity endorser? We hm a favorite
now, you know for those of us of a certain age when we were
impressionable youth. You know, Michael Jordan, right, Mark Blackman, like
Lee Aaric Jordan's money, money, money, It's the shoes, It's the
it must be the shoes. The McDonald's commercial with Larry Bird where they're playing
a game of horse for a bag of food, like, that's the first
one that comes to mind. Peyton Manning is is very very good. I
think Charles Barkley's really funny and in the uh in the endorsements that he has
done. I tell you who feels like they're ubiquitous. It feels like they're
involved in in almost every athlete endorse or commercial. If it's not Peyton Manning,
it's Shaquille O'Neal right, I mean, whether it's pizza or deodorant or
insurance. I feel like I see Shaquille O'Neil all over the place, and
he has shown side of his personality in some of those commercials that we maybe
typically don't see. But the one that comes to mind to me, just
because I think that's when I was most impressionable and maybe most influenced by,
you know that sort of advertising, is Michael Jordan, Because there was a
run in the in the nineties where whether it was shoes or underwear or Big
Max or Gay Rate or Coca Cola, whatever it was, Michael Jordan was
pushing product and often came off, as you know, very very likable,
very very down to earth for somebody who you know at the time and maybe
still the most well known athlete on the planet. Well, what it says
to me about Shaq and Charles probably I don't know if it says this to
me or I kind of like it's intimated in my thought process of wondering why
they're still out there. You talk about Ubiquitous and Shaquille O'Neal and Shaq and
you know, Charles Barkley and the like. Does that say to you that
maybe they didn't take good care of the millions that they made playing the sports
they played that they have to be on everything now or is it just gluttony
on that their part, or are they just still in that kind of demand.
I mean, to me, it says, man, these guys they
made all that money and they still have to work this hard. I don't
know. Well, Charles Barkley has admitted that because he enjoys gambling, that
everything that he has earned is is not still within his you know, financial
portfolio. Yes, I think that's sort of an anecdotal thing. You know,
Peyton Manning does a lot of spots. He doesn't strike me as somebody
who's taken poor care of his money. I mean, he's actually kind of
become known for how he's He's invested his money in the beer distributorship and in
Denver, and he's obviously got Omaha Productions, which produces the Manning Cast,
which is a supplement to Monday Night Football. Shaquille O'Neill. You know,
I don't know, but I mean, you know, there's there's one thing
I'll say about rich people. And it's not like I know many of them,
but but rich people rarely seem to be satisfied with their wealth. And
so my guess is for the most part, and I'm sure there are exceptions.
For the most part, if they've got one hundred mill in the bank,
they want to multiply that, And if they get to two hundred MILLI
in the bank, they want to multiply that too. So nothing's ever enough.
I know, I get that drift. So, I mean, it's
the only time that in the last twenty years that I've felt better about not
being rich. MO. Thank you. So we are officially fifty three days
away from the Holy Grail that is Opening Day, and only eleven days away
from pitchers and Catchers report, and what sixteen days away from the first spring
training game, which we'll have here on seven hundred WLW. It's just building,
its building, its building. I saw Brett Souonter on the air this
week locally, the local boy coming home. How much of an impact does
that have on the Red Steam. The addition of Brett suitter a lot,
because he's good, good lettie pitcher who has pitched in the nationally Central now
for a while. He was with the Colorado Rockies last year. I friends
sooner on my show two weeks ago we talked about pitching in a hitter friendly
park, which course field is, and which Great America Ballpark is what bullpens
have never mattered more in this sport. And I think the development from last
season that might have been most surprising was bullpen was okay, especially relative to
the amount of innings that had to absorb on a nightly basis. But I
think it would have been foolish to simply bring back the same guys and hope
for similar results. I think they've they've gotten better. They brought in a
guy by the name of Sam Mall from the Oakland as who somebody I was
hoping they would trade for it to deadline last year. Brett souter is.
It's cool because he's a local guy and he is a guy who's you know,
he's Harvard educated. He's a smart dude. Most importantly, he can
get guys out, and he can get left, he's out, he can
get right, he's out. And he's really good at keeping the ball in
the ballpark, which this team needs. I think among the things they have
to figure out in Arizona in a few weeks is, you know, how
are they gonna how are they going to address the eighth inning right because Alexis
Diaz is a very good closer, But last year it sort of felt like
David Bell had a revolving door of guys who are going to pitch the eighth
inning. And not that it has to be the same guy every single night,
but I do think you want to, at least to a degree,
establish who plays what role in the bullpen. I don't know if Brett Souter
is going to be the eighth inning guy, but I think if you're talking
about candidates who could be that guy, he's certainly on the list. Fantastic
let's preview you see at Texas Tech the Red Raiders taking on the Bearcats in
their home den, and breakdown what happens here and how the how, how
there's a path for UC to win this game. Well, I think the
pass for for UC to win the game is first of all, and it's
it sounds obvious. They've got to shoot better, you know, the offense.
In their losses, I have felt like, for the most part,
the offense has worked. They're getting open looks, they're just not making them,
and oftentimes that's coming from players who you would expect to make them.
The West Virginia game, I thought, though, was a little bit of
an exception, because when they threw the ball down low, rarely did anything
good happen, and when they took outside shots that often felt to me like
they were rushed. I think the thing about that team that I would like
to see a little bit more of is is them figuring out ways to get
easy baskets off of their defense. When they stop teams, it rarely turns
into transition points. And I think if you're a team that is at least
to a degree struggling offensively, what you have to start with is, all
right, how can we use our defense to create easier scoring opportunities. It
has felt like, and certainly did the other night in Morgantown, like nothing
really comes easy for UC on the offensive end, and that's going to be
more difficult if they don't have John Newman, who got hurt in the game
against West Virginia. We'll see if he plays today. He is their best
perimeter defender on the defense. Playing a Texas Tech team that's number thirteen in
a country in a stat called adjusted offensive efficiency, which is really really good.
It's a Texas Tech team that has beaten Oklahoma, they have beaten BYU,
they have beaten Texas those are teams that Cincinnati has played. I also
think, you know, they're big guys, whether it's Victor Lockin or as
these vandeg or even Jamille Reynolds got to be better. Victor Lockin played maybe
his worst game as a Bearcat on Wednesday night. One of those big guys
has to step up. But I'm looking for ways that Cincinnati can turn good
defense in the easier offense, because when they have struggled, nothing has come
easy on the offensive end. So do you think that in addition, if
you're going to get the ball and you're going to force a turnover on defense
or stop a team, you have to be present on the defensive end of
the floor obviously, But should they have a designated snowbird that the second the
ball changes hands is just zipping down the court underneath the basket. I mean,
is that kind of the key to what you're talking about, is rushing
the offense after a defensive possession stop maybe? And I think, you know,
I watch a lot of teams who if it's not a turnover, if
it's a rebound, it's it's get the rebound, throw it ahead and go.
You know, nobody throws these West unselled type outlet passes anymore that that
goes sixty feet. But you know the better offensive teams. Arizona played Cincinnati
last year and what was so fun to watch about them is they would get
a miss and they would throw ahead to a guy who was basically at mid
court, or the big would throw an outlet to a guard, and then
another big would go streaking down the floor and he would throw a pass maybe
thirty thirty five feet ahead, and they would start a fast break. It
doesn't always have to occur off of off of turnovers. I think when you
do force a miss, the Bearkats of time this at times this year had
been pretty good at forcing misses. When you do force a miss, let's
keep going. Let's go. If your half court offense isn't working, okay,
find ways to score offensively in ways that go beyond running your half court
offense. And I do think the Bearcats have the personnel that they could use
to run. I think Daniel Skillings is a guy who could thrive in that
sort of game. I think Gisel James is a guy who could thrive in
that sort of game. I would like to see them get misses and then
start to force the action instead of you get a miss, the big guy
who's grab the rebound holds it and then you know the guard. The point
guard comes back, circles back, gets the ball and they walk it up
the floor. I want to see them force things offensively when they do create
misses on defense. Well, the USFL has merged with the XFL to form
the strong UFL that begins playing spring football in March. Will it have any
more success than the USFL or the XFL MO I think the answer can be
yes for one simple reason. Gambling. Yeah, thirty three states have a
legalized gambling. There might not be any enormous appetite among casual football fans for
spring football. You know, obviously we'll see if the product is good.
It is interesting, I mean, they it's It's not like the UFL is
going to be on some you know, fly by Night streaming service exclusively.
The games are going to be on ESPN, They're going to be on s
S one. I think they're going to be on ABC and Sports Sports and
the whole gam So so these companies are making a pretty heavy investment in it.
But but now with the proliferation of legalized gambling. People love betting on
football, and I could assure you I I think it'd be interesting. You
know, the NFL has obviously leaned into gambling a lot more over the last
five or six years. Is this a league that, understanding its primary appeal
may be the folks who need a football gambling six does it and do its
game productions lean into gambling, maybe even a little bit more than the NFL
does. But I think if nothing else, that's why it can succeed.
Now it's going to need promotion. It's going to need to get people excited
in the markets that those teams are in. They're going to have to put
a good product on the field. But I think if anything else, you
know, we weren't talking about gambling on the XFL in the early two thousands,
and I don't recall in anything I've read about the USFL when people were
gambling on it, and obviously if you were doing so, you were for
the most part doing it illegally. Now you can go to any sports app
that on UFL games. I think that gives the league a puncher's chance flag
football better than an actual were a well simulated pro football game with the Pro
Bowl this weekend, and I know the Pro Bowl always got ratings, but
they just decided they had to change it because it really wasn't football. New
We're playing flag football. How do you feel about all that? Fine,
I don't know. I'm probably not going to watch. I'm not interested in
watching flag football. But I can tell you this. When they were attempting
to play pseudo real football and Tyler Raiford got hurt, my thought was,
this isn't worth it. So anything that can lessen the possibility of a significant
injury to a key player for any team, I think is a good thing.
All right. And finally, the last quick hit the over under,
and because you can bet on anything in the Super Bowl next weekend, anything
literally anything. The over under on showing Taylor Swift on television I think is
twenty. Are you going over or under? How many times will Taylor appear
appear on camera? Over twenty? I'll go over. I hope it's fifty
because I love watching people get mad about it. Who seem to not remember
that in the nineteen eighties during the NBA Finals. I still have no idea
what movies Diane Cannon was in. All I know is career Abdul Jabbarje scored.
There's Diane Cannon. Hey, Magic Johnson just made a basket. There's
Jack Nicholson. I'm a big New York Knicks fan. Yeah, I watch
almost every Knicks game. The amount of celebrity shots they show of Knicks games
we have, and it might be silly, we have an infatuation with celebrity
in this country. In the in the early nineties, when Madonna was dating
nearly the entire NBA, she would show up at random NBA games and there
she was, and she was shown NonStop. This is not a new phenomenon.
By the way, the CBS broadcast last week had a crabcake montage that
took more screen time than all the shots of Taylor Swift combined. Where is
the I just want to watch football crowd? By the way, has has
there been a play missed because they're showing Taylor Swift like it's one thing If
they show something that has nothing to do with the game and you miss a
key playoff, I got that has yet to happen, So I hope it's
over just because I enjoy watching people complain. There is nothing better than an
authentic Maryland crab keg Mo. I'm just saying that. All right, I
have a good weekend. Mike Allan, How are you, my friend?
I'm good, buddy. How you doing great? What's on the show today?
Well, we're going to talk about the beating of the two New York
City cops last week by about fifteen or so. Well, let's talk about
the beat down downtown Cincinnati. Well, we're going to do that. We're

I want to get Ken's take two on what happened in New York City.
Unbelievable. No bond for these clowns. Four of them get on a bus
at taxpayer's expense, headed to California so they can go back across the border.
Icheck I got an answer. How about how about upholding already laws on
the books. How about holding the federal immigration law that says you come across
illegally, you get deported. How about how about you commit a crime as
an illegal in this country, you get deported. How about that? I'm

Cotton. No he doesn't. He needs one stroke of the pen to enforce
the laws and reinstate the things that Donald Trump was doing as president, and
we're done with the crisis. Take him all of ten seconds to do and
deport about ten million too while we're at it. I'm with you, Mike

we'll have probably random basketball games on and well the beer's always nice and cold.
Have a great weekend, seven hundred WLW. When you're feeling overwhelmed and
tired, I'm here when times are tough. I know I can count on
Bill Cunningham, and you may be feeling beaten, like a birthday Prinda.
Sometimes I wish I could give him a big wet kiss and say thank you,
my friend. Willy is here to heal. My wife keeps asking me,
why can't you be more like Willie? Open your ears and hear my
mighty words of hope. Beer Cunningham, Monday at twelve noon on seven hundred
WLW or off to a frosty start eventually, though, lots of sunshine with
a high of fifty
