We had Blondie Deborah and Harry in her band hit making punk rock pop sensations.
Happy Birthday, Deborah, Harry, She's seventy eight today. Last love
so I'm losing you. It's just no good. She's like dinner again soon
turn less lost all again. I'm is catching the new wave with an old
song. As we began a Saturday Morning edition before, we look at a
back at significant events and people tied to this particular date in history, including
but not limited to, these and this day. July first, eighteen sixty
three, the pivotal and brutal three days Civil War Battle of Gettysburg began.
Eighteen sixty seven. Canada became a self governing dominion of the Great of Great
Britain nineteen oh three. The first Tour de France. Tour de France ended
on July tenth. None of them were rumored to be on hormones or performance
hancing drugs, but who can tell. Huh, cyclists, you know how
they are. Forty four delegates from forty four countries began meeting in New Hampshire
this date, nineteen forty four, where they agreed to establish the International Monetary
Fund and the World Bank not a harbinger of good things to come all these
years later. In my opinion, the Post Office inaugurated the five digit zip
codes this day. In nineteen sixty three, July first, nineteen sixty six,
Medicare went into effect for the first time in this country. The Drug
Enforcement Administration established another needless government bureaucracy. That was nineteen seventy three. And
this was the day that George H. W. Bush nominated Judge Clarence Thomas
to the Supreme Court nineteen ninety one. One of his better moves. I
think famous folks celebrating birthdays besides Deborah Harry on this July first, actor dancer
Leslie Corone still with US, actor actress Gene Marsh, Jamie Farr Klinger from
Mash is eighty nine today, cookie maker famous Wally Amos celebrating Twili Tharpe,
the world famous dancer, choreographer, movie TV producer director Michael Pressman, actor
Daryl Anderson, Trevor Eve, Terence Mann, Fred Schneider of the B fifty
two celebrating a birthday, as is Victor Willis of the Village People. Oddly
enough, they're both seventy two. Dan Ackroyd has a birthday today. Laura
Patterson, Alan Ruck Great actor, Louise Penny, the mystery novelist, Evelyn
Champagne. King Carl Lewis is sixty two today. The Gold medal winner not
the person I would pick to sing the National anthem ever, but the gold
medals kind of make up for that. Andre Broger, the actor sixty one.
Pamela Anderson has a birthday today. Hip hop artist Missy Elliott is fifty
two. Wilissa Peterman, Jill Cargeman, Brian Debendorff of the band The National
has a birthday to day. Happy birthday, liv Tyler, Stephen Tyler's daughter.
She's forty six. Wonderful lipsum. But that's my own fetish. Sorry,
So that's the list, the official celebrity list. If you are on
a birthday list today, we want to say, hey, I hope it's
the best day ever for you and you get to spin it around people you
love or like, doing things you love to do. Yeah, even if
that's being incredibly stupid and standing in line trying to get Taylor Swift tickets from
somebody who already has them. Even that, if it's your birthday, we
wish you the best and with that we move on your forecast in twenty twenty
sports just add I'm Gary Jeff Walker. You are you and that's fine with
me. Seven hundred WLW This morning at nine, Mike Calln balls up.
He's vocal fist and gives Injustice a whopping left hook. This morning at nine
on seven hundred w l W, Doctor James Right of Right Dental Center.
So got nothing. That's what people say? Does what people say? I
go on? I can't say, please do people say? Does what people
say? Cool? Stop? Stop? Well one more night of the madness
at pay Course Stadium and then we'll be done with the little super starlet Taylor
ts Baby. Okay, that's enough. Please get rid of that and I'll
get Lady Lynette in here. Lovely lady Lynette, Good morning, how are
you, dear Lynette? Hello Lynette. Well, she's either pulling a dick
and is gone to sleep on us, or she can't hear her phone again,
or she just decided that she'd waited too long and wasn't paying attention to
her phone anymore. Let's see Lynette, Hey, Lynette, Lynette, We'll
put her on hold and come back. I thought we'd solved all this problem
with Lynette's phones last week. I'm not in charge of her phone. All
I can do is when she calls, be nice to her, occasionally,
let her sing, let her do her shout outs, because that's a big
part of what the segment is about. When she calls, and you know,
let her bloviate, because she does that very well. I've learned some
interesting things about Lynette over the years, some very personal things that maybe I
didn't want to know that was TMI, but yet she is lovable. Let's
see if she's back now, Lynette. Are you there? Hello? Lynette?
Hello, Lynette? There you are? Where were you? Lynette?
I was talking to you for two minutes and you didn't You didn't say anything,
Lynette, Lynette. Oh, this is frustrating. We need to get
a direct line, Dave, mark this down. We need to get a
comrax at Lynette's location there at Florence Park Care. This is right off eighteen
in Florence. We'll just do a hook up so she can do all the
shows and have a clean connection. I don't know if she can use the
comrax, but we can offer her every opportunity to participate in the program.
Since so many people love her. Lynette, are you there? Yes?
Where were you? I've been I've been talking to you for hours? Now
where where were you? She's a new phone. I believe that power is
out lop on the old one because I just got it Monday and now it's
act the old one. Weete. I wanted saying this little light of mine.
Okay, well I've got time for one verse real quick, because we've
wasted time trying to talk to you, Lynette. Lynette, go ahead,
Hello, Lynette, go ahead. Can somebody get to Florence Park Care.
Maybe I will try and go this week if I have a free day,
which I do not usually to do that, but go and explain to Lynette
how to use your phone. This would be helpful for all of us,
especially me. Dick is hanging on the line. We'll talk to him next
on seven hundred WLW. Every day you breathe in thousands of tiny little Germs
Allergen stop trucks. Check out the entire stock of HD pickups at micast Drucy

hundred WLW, available on MW two three three BG, Cincinnati, and picking
and grinning on a Saturday morning. Let's get this stang rolling off to a
celebratory holiday weekend, fourth of July Independence Day kind of start. The red,
white and blues of the Kettering Banjo Society on full display on this holiday
weekend, and their spokesperson, their banner guy, is on the phone.
We're talking to Dick. Good morning, Dick good Man and Jeff Happy forward,
Buddy, well happy first leading to the fourth yeah, which hopefully you'll
have a fifth waiting for you if you need one now, Dick, you
know, it's a big weekend here in Cincinnati. We got the Reds back
in the first place, Reds playing the Padres, got FC Cincinnati back in
home. A TQL tonight and another night of swifty madness with Taylor Swift and
concert. Are you familiar with the artistry that is Taylor Swift? I have
never heard your do a song? Huh, Well, I just played one
a few minutes ago. You were on hold. Were you listening? Yeah,
yeah, I guess she's pretty good. I'd see a lot of CDs
by her. I'm going to have to start buying them, you know,
well, CDs and not not just CDs, Dick. We're talking about We're
talking about cassettes and eight track tapes and an album, vinyl albums and CDs
and downloads and lions and tigers and bears. No, it's just gone.
The place has gone absolutely nuts. The country's gone completely crazy over Taylor.
And can I tell you something about Taylor Swift? Yeah? Sure. She
actually went to the same high school that I attended years before, really Hendersonville,
Tennessee. Taylor Taylor Swift. Her family moved to the Middle Tennessee area,
the Nashville area so she could pursue a career in music, which obviously
has gone very well for her. But she lived in the same town where
I graduated high school, and I believe went to Hendersonville High School or at
least a short period of time in that neat. In that neat, Taylor
and I are are alums together. Although I would say it's kind of hard
at this point to determine who has been the most successful to this point.
You know, I've had a forty something plus year radio career, been very
successful to do it's still doing it. She's still kind of a newbie.
She's only thirty three. Do you think Taylor Swift will ever get to be
as I don't know, accomplished and popular as I am. I yeah,
I think she will be. She's pretty well known now, well, no,
she's well known, but I mean to my level of success is what
I'm talking about. Well, you know we both come from the same humble
roots there in Middle Tennessee. Yeah, yeah, I would just going to
ask you, have you talked today from Dayton? I have talked to day
friend. He wanted he wanted me to ask you, yes, if you
were a Taylor Swift fan and you just answered that question, He said,
do you think it'd be cool if the Reds all picked out a Taylor Swift
song today for their walk up music? That'd be kind, wouldn't it?
That was kind of meat dick if you had, if you had your own
Dick from Dayton Kettering, ban Joe's Society, Beaver Creek Strummer's T shirts,
would you go around the country in an eighteen wheeler pickup tractor trailer truck,
an eighteen wheeler and sell your T shirts at enormously exorbitant prices like Taylor Swift?
Would you do that? Yes? You would. Well, that's good
at least at least you got a marketing mind. Well, Dick, h
it's great talking to you. As always, go Reds go say good night,
Dick, good night, Garry, Jeff, all right, take care
of by bye bye, lovely lady. Lynette called back, but I'm not
going to chance it right now. Maybe after the break after what's passing for

A nice lead in song with a nice bassline. Well, you know
you don't get paid, but I figured I did at least give you a
Michael Stipe And that took me too long to figure out. I guess I'm
still in a haze because I thought I was the only one. The day
from Harrison called Love very sad morning. He did call me love and he
did ask what I thought. And it's not even pride months anymore. Gee,
that's right. Well, and early on Saturdays, you know, when
you're coming in five by three this morning, that's a radio fault. Yes,
it is loud. It sounds great, but it's not clear because of
all the thunderstorms in the Yes, so in good weather, this thing is
a strong five by five. When what this thing is it's a nineteen fifty
seven motor rolla. It's a seven hundred ranger, which is a portable AM
radio, and it's one of those that I looked at. This is the
second time I've done this in the last two months, instead of I'm not
sure that that's something I'm comfortable with working on. And then open is a
oh crap, it does have tubes in it. Okay, never mind,
I got it. I got this good. But it's it's it's a it's
about the size of a small, small purse, I would say, And
the handle on top is also the loop antenna, which also rotates, which
is nice. Although the small enough you could just turn it to get the
station of coming better. But hey, you know, it is what it
is. But I mean, obviously the handle. Also, the loop antenna
has to be pretty stout to be a handle. I mean, does it
fragile at all? This particular one is not. But that's a good question
because an awful lot of um. I won't name that certain zene this transoceanic
transistor model. The nice thing about the Zenith one is that when you grab
the handle and yank the radio up, and by the way, even though
it's all transistor, this radio still weighs more than a bowling ball. When
you yank it up, you usually end up with a lot of plastic charge
in your hand and the radio on your foot. But this, uh,
this guy is made by Motorola, which is a Motorola is an interesting company,
and of course it's still around and um one shape or another, doing
lot of two way radio work, especially with the law enforcement, fire departments
and so forth. But they started in nineteen twenty eight and Motorola was a
combination of motoring and victrola, so basically music on the go kind of a
thing, and they focused on car radios and I'm impressed that they've done so
well and got off the ground as well as they did. Because the Galvin
brothers who finally put Motorola together in twenty eight. One of the brothers started
out nineteen twenty one making storage batteries with some other partner and went through four
or five different iterations of similar companies. And I believe they got shut down
for lack of paying excise taxes twice and went bankrupt three times. I guess
either the other brother was smarter, real like Crosley Pala had to find get
his brothers the business head, or they just finally figured out you got to
your taxes. Well, yeah, yeah, you know. I never I
never get mad at anybody who doesn't pay their taxes, unless, of course,
their last name is Biden m Rich. Have a fantastic weekend, and
thanks for checking in, brother they you do the very same. Great to
hear, great to hear from you. Hey, I called you whatever,

and Gary Jeff John Adams, one of our founding fathers and our second American
President followed. George Washington wrote a letter to his wife Abigail July third,
seventeen seventy six, on the eve of what was to be Independence Day.
In the letter, John Adams wrote, I am app to believe that this
Independence Day will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the Great Anniversary Festival, going
on to say that the day should be commemorated with solom acts of devotion to
God Almighty, and then celebrated with pomp and parade, shows, games,
sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of the
continent to the other. We still have that in this country, and we
should have that because it's a fantastic holiday. It's a great celebration. You
can have your Juneteenth. Just because you have your Juneteenth doesn't mean you cannot
celebrate July fourth. You can have any other holiday you think you want to
have, but understand that none of them have any weight or any gravity whatsoever
without July fourth Independence Day in the United States of America. The thing that
guarantees your freedom to celebrate anything, to celebrate yourself or the group of people
you're in, which is kind of antithetical to the point of American independence and
a constitutional republic because it's all based on the individual, not special groups.
You yourself are a special group. You can celebrate all of that, because
of the bravery of the men who eventually mind that paper and let it be
known to King George in the British Crown or anybody else in the world who
actually took time to notice that this was now a free, independent nation of
independent sovereign souls. It's what makes all the celebration possible because of the freedoms
guaranteed the individual, the God given rights and freedoms given to all of us
at birth that should be continually guaranteed by the government. Government's only role in
providing us. Government does not give us our freedom or liberty. They do.
Government does not give us our rights. Those are given to us by
God, by a creator. The government's only role is protecting those God and
writes. And that's what we be celebrating on Independence Day and frankly every day
all year round. It's not just about fireworks, but by God, a
big part of it is it's about the celebration that John Adams envisioned. These
guys were truly men of vision. Let's work hard to embrace our independence,
to know that this country is exceptional and that their vision would not die on
the vine in vain. Whatever's passing for news coming up, and we'll talk
to our gang in Ripley, Ohio in just a few minutes on the Saturday

home companion kind of places. Ripley, Ohio and a place called Brookies on

What else is going on? Any other news? Oh? Well,

News of the week with our friend Steve Simon out of Etna, Ohio.
Good morning, Stephen, Good morning Gary, Jeff. I almost panicked there
when I was trying to call you. That's never happened before. It said,
all circuits are whatever the well apparently that's on somewhere between ETNA and Cincinnati.
Our phones are fine this morning for a chance. Okay, I wouldn't
be surprised. We frequently have the ed electronic dysfunction up here. Okay,
big big news this week, the magnanimous federal court, teaming with FBI investigators
and Soros funded prosecutors, has offered a plea deal to Donald Trump. Yes,
they're taking I'm going for Clint. They're taking capital punishment off the table.
I couldn't believe it. God that Merrick Garland is just such a saint.
Trans in the news again, Gary Jeff Transportation Secretary pothole. Pete Buda,
who has tranced from bad mayor to hideous cabinet secretary now reduced to making
coffee of the meetings, is wowing the woke media again, taking a queue
from the huge leap in technology from the recent redo of the movie Titanic.
They needed a bigger boat. I think Pete has piggybacked on the bombastic Biden
Pacific Indian Ocean International Highway proposal. Pete proposes federal regulations that all of those
electric cars on the pack Indie Highway be submersible. I'm thinking we need a
better battery. Speaking of electrocution, that electric truck manufacturing company at the former
GM Lordstown plant, it's also gone belly up. This reminds me of something,
says I lived up there for twenty years. Ohio twenty twenty two.
Democratic Senator candidate Tim Ryan was congressman up there for twenty years. He could
be our new transportation secretary when Pothole Pete runs for president. Don't you think,
God, what an incompetent jackass. Racism rears its ugly head again,
Gary Jeff Affirmative Action AKAA d EI struck down this week by the Supreme Court.
Ironically, when you look at these fifty years, AA's biggest victory was
punishing Asians for being intelligent and hardworking civil rights anyone, Yes, that was
sarcasm in California. In California this week, Oh my god, more racism.
A Chinese dog on the World's Ugliest Canine Award. My heavens, can
you be more racist against Asians? By the way, Nancy Pelosi was again
runner up for the twenty third time, becoming the Susan Lucci of the ugly
booch world. This is bad. I'm laughing at my own jokes. More
racism. Yes, that wasn't enough. Columbus officials report horrified civilians here have
spotted a quote unquote black bear in Franklin County. Oh yeah, yeah,
yeah, it had to be black high. You couldn't just say bear.
Couldn't have been a polar bear with a sun tan from all that global warming
of the North Pole. Yeah, you racist. Disgust me. Okay,
I took my pill. Finally, Joe Biden God it gets worse, says
he put America back to work, thirteen million of US. Okay, let
me explain to ya. Thank you rookie Ricardo Bidenomics. In twenty twenty you
lost your fifty k job. Right now you're at zero in twenty twenty two.
Oh, you got your fifty k job back. Good for you.
But Joe says that you got a five hundred percent raise from zero to fifty.
No, you didn't. You're right back where you started. You didn't
get a raise, and now your fifty k is worth less because of the

That's Micass Drucy Chrysler ge Dodge Ram on Red Bank Road in Fairfax. You're
listening to seven hundred WLW, also available on ninety four five FMW two three
three BG Cincinnati, the highest court in the land. This week. Made
it a good week for the Constitution, made it a good week for fairness,
made it a good week for people who do not believe in racial preferences.
Three big decisions this week, the student loan forgiveness thing, which everybody
knew was in the water constitutionally finally ruled by the Supreme Court that, yes,
you don't just give people money after they borrowed money for a student loan,
like Joe Biden was planning to do to buy votes. The Supreme Court
said, Nana and Nana, it will be. So just sit there with
your two hundred thousand dollars loan or whatever that you got when you went to
school for women's studies or comparative literature, and you can't make a living now,
and understand it's on you. It's not on the Supreme Court. It's
not on Joe Biden. Maybe a little bit on the universities who sold you
a false bill of goods to begin with. But no, it's your debt.
You have to pay it off. That's a victory for all of us,
because to allow that program to continue would be theft of the American taxpayers
money because that's where the money comes. Dumb, dumb. Secondly, affirmative
action in college admissions no more, nah, baby nah. The Supreme Court
said so in another six to three ruling this week, meaning that Asians and
white people won't be discriminated against by universities like Harvard or anywhere else in this
country. You can't do that. You cannot do that based on skin color.
It sounds like we're still litigating Jim Crow and slavery in this country,
only it's just a different group being discriminated against. The Supreme Court said no,
Thank God, and thank god for people who love the First Amendment in
the Bill of Rights of our Constitution. There are many in this country.
You do not love the First Amendment. They'd like to see it eliminated.
Freedom of speech, freedom of religion. Laurie Smith, Colorado based web designer,
won her case before the United States Supreme Court. She does not have
to do a wedding website for a same sex couple if her own convictions say
no. This is a victory for anybody who has moral convictions that don't line
up with bisexual, homosexual, anything that's not normal as far as human relationships
go. They do not have to use their artistry or their talents, which
they believe are given to them by God for an ungodly thing that they do
not believe in. The Supreme Court ruled that. So a big week for
freedom and for constitutionality. Of course, if you're on the other side,
you say it's well, it's just more attacks on the LGBTQIA WTF community.
It's more attacks on poor college students will never be able to pay off their
loans that they shouldn't have taken out in the first place. And it's a
victory for anyone who has been singled out as less than ready, no matter
what their talents and accomplishments and how smart they were, from getting into a
good college based on their race. That no longer is a factor thanks to
the Supreme Court rulings this week. Meanwhile, there's a special election in Ohio
next month. Are you gonna Are you gonna turn up? Turn out for
something that's crucially important and only one side is spending money to tout their angle
on this special ballot issue. I believe on August eighth, what it would
do if you vote yes. This is plain and simple. In the ads
that at the anti amendment issue are doling out are totally false. They say
it eliminates majority rule, eliminates one man, one vote. No, what
it does is say that in the future, on any issue, if you're
going to amend the Constitution of the State of Ohio. You need sixty percent
of the people's vote to do that instead of a simple fifty plus one majority,
a supermajority. You know what, It takes a supermajority to amend the
United States Constitution two thirds of the states. That's a supermajority. And that's
all this is. So if you vote yes, you're voting for your rights.

Here you go. It's great to be with you. Into another hour and
back with us this week with a report straight from Golf Shores, Alabama.
Steve Schulty, environmental engineer extraordinari. Does it get better than being in Golf
Shores on a Saturday morning? That's what we got to ask, mister Shulty.
How are you, Oh, Gary Jeff. Uh, we're waiting to
head home here Cincinnati. I guess I probably won't complain at least for a
while about the humidity in Cincinnati. Uh. We are enjoying hearing Golf Shores,
Alabama, near the beach a low of eighty two but feels like eighty
nine already. Oh my god, it hit six o seven in the morning
your time. That's crazy, all right? So uh yeah, but I
mean you're still in You're you're in a beautiful place, right. You've had
all you sent me. You sent me pictures and I told you that you
were causing me to send because I was covering thy neighbor's vacation. Beautiful stuff
and gold shore. So tell me what, what's the coolest thing that you've
seen in Golf Shores that you would not have seen in Cincinnati humidity or not.
Oh, it's awesome sting raised out out in the ocean. It's pretty
cool. But it's you know, this is not this is not Myrtle Beach
or whatever. We're at the far you know, we are six and a
half miles from the center of Golf Shores, Alabama. That's a good that's
a good place to be. Is six miles north of any great hub of
West Yeah of tourist crap. Okay, go ahead, yep. At the
end of West, at the end of West Beach Boulevard and comes into this
complex, and then on the other end is a nature preserved So we have
a beach. We've enjoyed, a beach that is not crowded with human folk,
good stuff. So well, one of the things I noticed down here,
Garrett, Jeff, with all the sun this part of the world,
you would think this area would be loaded with solar panels right all over the
place. I have seen not one. And I was wondering, I says,
WHOA, what about here? I mean, there's plenty of suns,
especially in the summertime when the demand for electricity for air conditioning is way up
there. Yeah, And I thought, well, maybe it's because something's like
tropical storms and hurricanes that periodically hit the area would just be trashing solar panels.
So kind, That's just some little little thing I just noticed down here.
Let me let me, let me ask you this because of man catastrophic
man made climate crisis. It is the shoreline disappearing in golf stores Alabama.
Is the ocean rising and swallowing up great swaths of human kind in golf shore
Not here, thank you, that here, that here, But talking well,
we're gonna go from here. Heat. This goes back in May of
May fifteenth, CO two Coalition dot org on there's one of your organizations media
ignores delve high del what they tell Delhi's coldest May since nineteen o one.
On May fourth, India's capital of New Delhi recorded the third coldest May morning
since nineteen oh one. At believe this? Sixty degrees fahrenheit. The region's
thirty two residents woke up to a relatively cold morning of what is usually the
hottest month of the year. Can you believe that sixty threes being cold neatly
concealed from the public's eye or the low record winner temperatures that Delhi has experiences
two thousand and seven and December two thousand and eight, Delhi recorded an average
minimum temperature of forty four degrees fahrenheit, lowest in fifty years. And on
December thirtieth, twenty nineteen, the maximum temperature settled in at forty nine,
making it the coldest December day in one hundred twenty two years. Oh my
god, I guess India is going to have a new ice age. As
is the case, winter cold and India is a bigger killer than summer heat
and according to India Studies of India short turn temperature exposures. Eighty eight percent
of the death are called by cold weather and only twelve percent by hot weather.
So once again, media, the media bias towards any warming that is
occurring under man made catastrophic climate change just doesn't well, you know, you
know as well as I do. That's why they change the name from global
warming to climate change and now climate crisis. All of it falls apart when
you actually look at the real data, especially lately. Thank you Steve Schulty,
and enjoy the rest of your VAK. In Gulfshore's, Alabama seven twelve,

buried any bodies. Actually. The first don of the First Family of Fitness

How are you, Jeff? I haven't body I haven't buried anybodies yet.
Yes, well it's good, but I mean you might. You might
know where some are buried. I mean, let's I'm good. Let's get
right down to let's get to this this question of the day. Our topic
is a cancer test called grail. Tell me about that? Yes, so?
Uh? The brand name UH goes By gallery. It's a grailed By
gallery and if you want to get it done, it's it's about twelve hundred
dollars, but it's absolutely well worth the money. They have a brand new.
It's brand new. It's been out for about like three years or so.
And um it can detect at at a ninety seven percent accuracy, fifty
different cancers. And the way that it can detect fifty different cancers is by
going, uh you basically get a blood test and an AI UM uh you
know process and for our artificial intelligence program. Through the blood test looks for
and this is like up to twenty years before you even start seeing symptoms.
So this is a pretty good screening, right Rocco, Yeah, yeah it
can. Um it can uh you know, it looks for fifty different uh
cancers up up to uh twenty years. A lot of people have found a
cancers way before, way before they are they even have to worry about,
uh, you know, any kind of cancer spreading and um it looks for
UM non cell a DNA it's called and this you know, like we have
healthy DNA and then we have cancer DNA. And we all have cancer cells
in us. Right, but if you have a thousand, can't you know
cancer cells UM in you? Uh usually the natural killer cells that's what UM
you know, um our immune system goes after you have T cells. We
have a natural killer cells that go after the cancer cells, and uh so
it can it can detect. And you know, if you know right that
you have a stage worn cancer or even before stage one cancer, you can,
uh you can mitigate it. You can uh yeah, get rid of
it with easy, easy therapies instead of waiting for stage four when you pretty
much know you're not going to be getting any help with that, right right,
And I think it's important to get ahead start. It's kind of I
mean, do people want to know? That's the question, And why wouldn't
you want to know? But you say, it's about a twelve hundred dollars
test. Yeah. Well, and so they found and the and the testing
that's how it is called mceed now and um they found that the psychological effects
of finding out that they may have cancer um or that they have a stage
one cancer is so much better now than finding out later when they have to
start to get their you know, get their affairs together and stuff like that,
you know, and that you know you're you're avoiding probably the horrible introduction
introduction of poisons into your system through chemotherapy, radiation and all the other things
that people go through once the cancer has progressed to a certain stage. If
you can find it in its infancy, you're able to knock it out with
like you said, just some some therapeutic issues that don't cause that much disruption
of healthy cells in your body. It's it's really important. But it's mc
ed. Is that the name of the test? Well, no, it's
called a grail By galleril By gallery. Yeah, that's to do. And
if you just ask, are your doctors for a gallery, you know,
a grail By gallery test ors gallery test. But the tests themselves, the
science of them are mced. Okay, um, thank you, well,
listen, we're about a time rocco, but thank you very much. And
this is something important that you can take with very important. Yeah, I
don't think. So, let's get ahead of this thing. Seven twenty three.

crazy, whacked out stories from around the country and around the world. Here
is the aforementioned Tom Davis. Now, good morning, Gary, Jeff.
You're in luck. We're going to cure your work related stress using only a
tree. But first, a guy in Thailand is claiming to have not slept
in sixty years. He says he caught a cold during the Vietnam War and
it caused him to stop sleeping. He says, he closes his eyes.
He says he wants to sleep. That just won't happen. His brain won't
slow down. Doctors are currently monitoring him to figure out what's really going on.
It's an assault with a taste of a rainbow. Tristan Statina was arrested
for assaulting people with skittles. He walked into a restaurant and started flinging tiny
candy pieces in the face of customers who were trying to eat. One woman
was hitting the back into a police that she suffered from a stinging pain.
Officers found Tristan in another store next door. It took three of them to
take him down. A woman of Massachusetts is recovering after a vicious assault by
two violent turkeys. Jeanette Atkinson got a tetanus shot after escaping the birds.
Authorities in the town at Cambridge say that residents need to be Turkey aware.
They suggest using umbrellas, bright lights, loud noises, or a water hose
to protect themselves. And finally, it's a new cure for work related stress.
Tree hugging literally hugging a tree. This is from a woman in China.
She's spreading the message around the world that she started hugging trees in April
and it immediately she started feeling much less stressed and even had the ringing in
her ears disappear. She believed that trees are absorbing her negative energy. Next
week, a man from vin sins says that it was a derrito that crashed
his car. How a great fourth of July. It's warm outside, so
you probably aren't thinking about your chimney, but Vonderhar Fireplace wants to remind you

It was a Radio seven hundred w l W with the music professor Gary Jeff
Walker. Our musical and archaeology trip this weekend takes us to the only three
colors that matter, Red, white, and blue. And four for the
fourth, lemericon line ah lone fand fine God the life, with the life,
from the boar, from the man, the prayer to the old White
with war, God my horn, sweet to the rack white with myless bary
my horn, sweet my horn, Sweet the great Kate Smith and God bless
America. Kicking us off four for the fourth on the seven hundred w l
W, Jim Lebarbar. The music professor joins us, Jim, that's an
iconic tribute to this great country. Tell me more about Kate Smith. Wow,
And now here's a song. It was written by the man who wrote
White Christmas, irving Berlin during World War One nineteen eighteen. That have you
bused by him in nineteen thirty eight And then, of course you know you
heard the voice of Kate Smith introduced on an Ymous Day broadcast in nineteen thirty
eight sung by Kate Smith on her radio show. Another song became her her
calling card. Kate Smith was this wonderful woman two hundred pounds of a wholesome
country girl goodness. The bud little singer had entertained World War One troops when
she was just eight years old. While I'm the host her own CBS radio
show with millions of the voted listeners, and on November the eleventh, nineteen
thirty eight, Kate Smith sang that song. God Bless America is part of
the Armist Day broadcast anniversary the end of World War One, and incidentally,
the Irving Burning wrote it but never made money on the song, and in
nineteen forty he created the God Bless America Fund. All the royalties have been
donated to the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, now focused on the Scouts in
the greater New York City area, and the song will remain under copyrights until
the year twenty thirty four. Wow Ray Charles up next on our list and
four for the fourth Kim Yeah. Whenever whenever I talked with him over the
years, he was so positive pleasant, talked about his drug problems and blamed
it on himself. Sinatra called him the genius of soul, and he was
almost embarrassed to hear it. He was very, very humble. And Ray
Charles adopted this song, arranged it, and recorded his version of America the
Beautiful at International Studios Angeles. This was a celebration of the bi centennial in
nineteen seventy six. And if you listen to it, the soul and passion,
that the perfection. Here's a black man who was going blind at the
young age of five and grew up four with racism and ugliness in this country
at its peak. And this song is what he had to say, and
he made it personal and singing it with pride and passion. Rachel's it just
doesn't get any better than America the Beautiful. No, it does not more
beautiful. Ah, he who was proved in laborating stride, who more than
self, country, love, medicine, move America. America me got the
gold, repine en, success, normalss and ever again divine. And you
know, when I was in school, we used to singing something like this.
Listening here you to that fe spacious guys, I am, but weaves
a green purple man. Majesty is rub the fruity plead when a woman I'm
talking about a manicrume, sweet, a manicru You know God shan history on
the head, cry yes he did. Any botherhoo from C two shot see
he shiness you because you clown. He charm me any botherhoo. Remembering Ray
Charles and his obvious patriotism singing America the Beautiful Jim Lebarba the music professor here
with us on seven hundl W and up next, probably the most famous rendition
in a public space or anywhere else of our national anthem, the Star Spangled
Banner. Yeah. On January twenty seventh, nineteen ninety one, at the
Super Bowl, ten days into the Persian Golf War, Gary Jeff Whitney Houston
took the field at Tampa Stadium performed the Star Spangled Banner backed by the Florida
Orchestra. There were seventy four thousand fans there, one hundred and fifteen million
viewers in the United States, and a worldwide television audience in seven hundred and
fifteen million people. And this was performed at this particularly patriotic time, just
after the onset of the Persian Golf War. And then it was re released
after the September eleven attacks. Whitney Houston captured the spirit and this unified people.
We were once again, in September eleventh under attacked by enemies both foreign
and domestic. And there was a video made of the performance, and she
donated all the proceeds of charity, first off the first God the American Red
Cross Golf Crisis Fund, and then later the nine to eleven Stems. And
I get goose bumps. I know you do every time you hear this.
She looked apart. She sang it with pride, passion, and patriotism.
It was a spiritual experience with a voice probably custom designed by God himself.
Arms at the back at the beginning, very casual, a running suit,
headband, wearing sports clothes and very light makeup, showing modesty and respect to
the role that was given to her that day, singing of a smile that
showed her pride to her nation. With a heart and melting voice. Not
nobody could tap her classic no One effortless, the most iconic version of our
national anthem at night to LA who Won't Try and Rispie other w W sod
streaming that I still who, I still remember the searing crescendo and the flyover
history. All right, Jim, four for the fourth and here's our fourth
of pick one of my favorites. God Bless the US day and we spots
to his feeling about the shooting down of the Korean air Lammy's Flights Doublow seven
in September in nineteen eighty three, he wrote the song, started singing it
live a It's concerts and got a tremendous response to it, and he said
he needed to write a song. He needs to write this song about America
to get people more united. And this song keeps coming on, coming back,
taking out a different kind of length. During the Golf War, it
was a song about the war and for the general. And then after her
King Katrina's song for length and hope, and then Nanda Level is a song
of unity and rebuilding. And then it came back with Covid. It's just
he said, makes me really proud that I've done something to the country and
from my family. It's my family heritage, and this became his song.
And it's interesting we'd become complacent, Garry Jeff. Then another thing comes up
and we all come together again and this song, this song is played Lee
Greenwood. The music professor Jim LaBarbara, my heart felt wishes for you and
yours for a happy Fourth of July, gem and thank you as all was
my friend. Thank you gift to morow all things were gone, I'd work
for all my life and I had to start again with just my children and

are you are you? Are you a sixpinkler or a state a state pinkler?
That's those are German terms, Garry Jeff Well, I don't speak German.
My wife does a little bit. But what what are they? First?
And I'll let you know. A sixpinkler is a German word for a
man who PE's sitting down, and the state blinkler is a man who stands
up. And the reason I bring you know what, anybody who's known me
for years, I mean, with a few exceptions, know that I am

they're number one by twenty percent. Uh. They stand, they sit to

they put a device under their toilet seat and they call it a toilet goes.
They called it a spook and in the language of Angela Merkel that actually
tells you to sit down please if you raise the toilet seat. It's they're
trying to get the guys over there in Europe to uh more men in Europe
or anywhere or sitting to h T T movie. And Uh, the country
that is the least one is Mexican. Only six percent of Mexicans every time
sitting. It's because Mexican men, No matter what you say about a Mexican
men or men in Mexico in Europe, they've been emasculated for years with all
this hoity toity crap, and now it's come to rear its ugly head once
again. In our conversation this morning, I think they just want to sit
and read their phone all the time, that's all. I have no idea
what they're doing, and I don't want to know, but but thank you

appreciate that. Yeah. Now, now, if you know the guy got

let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Oh yeah, brother Green, good morning. How are you? Good
morning, Gary, I'm doing great. I woke our praying for you and
your listeners. Thank you, brother, we always need that. And girl,
you got to give me a second. I lost my setting on my
phone. I had it all print it on for you. But I got
it all right, fantastic, wrong, don't now. I like this.
I'm time, Garry. Yes, okay, I got it, Garry.
I loved this. I believe I'm about to describe the greatest god man that
ever walked the earth. Philippians, Chapter two, verse seven and eight.
I take that back. I know him about two. It says, but
made himself of no reputation, and took upon the form of a servant,
And he was made in the likeness of men, and being found and fashioned
as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death
of the cross. Amen. I love that Jesus Christ was a servant.
First, he was a servant, He was subserving, He washed people's feet,
he was he was the son of God who came here to die for
our sins. And he spent his entire life preaching love and serving people.
Amen. I wish we could focus on that, Gary, I wish we
all gore to focus on his humility. Well, I think it would be
a better world. That's it's my opinion. It would be a better world.
Gary. I agree with you one hundred percent. But you know that
that's part of being human. We have these flaws, and we need to
remember those flaws when it comes to, you know, taking stock and being
proud of ourselves. Excellent, excellent word today, Thank you, brother Green.

Radio seven hundred WLW seven hundred WLW Sports. Last night of Great American Ballpark
Graham Ashcraft made us remember why we have such high hopes for this young pitcher
from last year and from spring training this year. A great comeback start for
Graham six and two thirds innings, only one run given up to the San
Diego Padres in that time, no win for the starting pitcher for the Reds,
but still another great outing and looks like he may be back, which
justin just in time for the Reds to surge into the All Star break.
A last night, eleven innings, seven to five Reds victory highlighted by the
eleventh inning walk off home run, two run home run of one Spencer Steer.
And this is after a two run game tying home run in the tenth
by Matt McClean. Amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing once again, seven
to five, Game two of the series against the Pods. Today have one
forty at gabp Our coverage begins with the inside pitch at twelve thirty. More
on this with Moe Egger in just a moment. FC Cincinnati plays the New
England Revolution at TQL Stadium tonight at seven thirty. Could there be more going
on in and around downtown Cincinnati than we've cut this weekend? Especially tonight another
Taylor Swift concert and the UC Bearcats football basketball heading into the Big Twelve.
It's official as of today, July the first they'll now be in a Power
five football conference, and Tony Pike says the best basketball conference in major college
basketball in the country. So celebration with twelve hundred twelve free Skyline coneys at
twelve on the UC campus while supplies last. All Right, interesting conversation.
I hope it's an interesting conversation. I have them on the phone off air
with this guy. Occasionally. He's been added to the Gary Jeff call list,
although maybe not on a regular basis, because the last thing I'd say
about this guy is that he's regular. And I don't really even know that
much about his upper gi or lower that matter. But a man who knows
what rockets are and other things. Tim Shimming with a check in from Oak
Harbor, Good morning, Tim, how are you just wonderful? Might be
irregular today? We're not sure okay, Well, usually I have my morning
constitutional by this time, so I know. But we're we're all praying and
pulling for you. So you had a question for me? You said,
yes, do you know what whimpies are? Whimpies? Yeah? No,
I'm not sure other than the guy from Guy from the Poppy. They're the
same thing as rockets. Whimpies are the same thing as rockets. Yep,
well, I mean rockets. When I was in grade school, are you
talking about a rocket like with three stages and it goes up into the the
atmosphere and it carries astronauts or satellite pay what are you talking about rockets?
We had no, No, that is the same thing as a sloppy Joe.
Ah. We did have Sloppy Joe's last night. So you're saying you
had rockets, we had rockets or whimpies instead. Yep, yep. What
what makes the distinction? I mean they're all the same thing. Why all
the different names? Where did where did you come up with the name rockets
or whimpies? Either one for sloppies, Oh, Carber rockets, oh carbon
rockets. High school they called them rockets. I maybe they wanted to get
them eat them better. Maybe maybe maybe they just went right through you like
a rocket when you ate them. Maybe maybe exactly that why that's why you're
irregular today. I'm not irregular. I'm fine. I just wondered if you
were. Okay, No, I'm good, all right. So there was
some other reason that you wanted me to call you this morning? I didn't
We talk last night for a brief moment. Yes, we talked about that.
My girlfriend is the donkey whisper. Your girlfriend is to have miniatured.
All right. So so you raised these these cows that are what kind of
cows do you raise? God is Highlands? And these are these are pets
for people? Right? Yeah? People buy these for pets. Okay,
all right? So number one, a cow for a pet is kind of
weird. Let me just say. I mean, I would never give my
pet cow a name, just in case I got hungry and wanted to eat
them. But you could call him steak. We could call him steak on
on legs anyway, steak with legs. All right. So so donkey Whisper,
she raises donkeys. Yeah, weys for what purpose? Tim for people?
For pets, for companions? Okay, all right, Arnold Schwartzenegger actually
has miniature donkeys and they live in his house. Yeah, but Arnold Schwartzenegger
also stoop the Maid and had a baby that his wife didn't know about for
years. So I don't know if I'm gonna I'm not going to use Arnold
Schwartzenegger as like an example of how I should live my life necessarily, although
he's pretty impressive in the Terminator. So miniature donkeys as pets and she is
the donkey whisperer, how does that work? Yep, she trains the donkeys.
They listen to her. Well that's that's that she doesn't listen to me.
But yeah, that's quite true. That's quite a feat training donkeys.
Now does she train donkeys for movies or anything like that, because you know
now she does not. She does not. And we're not talking about movies
that are made in Tijuana that you can only see in the backroom of a
club. I was talking about theatrical releases, because you never know when you're
gonna need a train donkey. Right. Well, they do talk to her
in the morning when she goes to feed them. They're all in, they're
talking, They're they're wanting their food. Yeah, they're all excited. We
just had a baby last weekend. A baby donkey. Now, what's the
difference between a donkey and a mule? About six foot? Okay, a
mule is a lot taller. A donkey's about waist high. But these are
many donkeys right. Yes, they're miniatures, so they're even smaller than your
average donkey. Yeah, they're about waist high. They're they're very stubborn animals
generally, aren't they. Or is that the mule that's stubborn? So the
donkeys stubborn? So so donkeys are stubborn. And she trains donkeys because the
donkeys actually listened to her. That's quite a feat. I'm impressed. She'll
have names. She has she trained you yet? No, I'm untrainable.
I don't have I don't get a honey due list. I have a list
for the honey. There you go, and probably have to clean your carpets
a lot if you're not trained. Thank you, Tim, I appreciate this
enlightenment. I didn't know about donkey whispers, had no idea or whimpies or
rockets. The sloppy Joes were great though. We were rolling down this road
in and our province three personnel carriers who have sixteen of us on board.

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

morning kids, Time for gifts for Wally. Out on the farm, there's
a sheep farmer who had a French farmhand working with him to help castrate his
sheep. As the farmer castrated the first sheep, the French farmhand took the
parts and was about to throw them into the trash and the farms. No,
no, don't stop, don't throw those away. My wife fries them
up and we eat them. They're delicious. We call him sheep fries.
So the farmhand saved the parts and took them to the farmer's wife, who
cooked them up for supper. This went on for three straight days, and
each evening, with whatever else they were eating, they had sheep fries for
supper. On the fourth night, the farmer comes into the house for supper.
He asked his wife where the farmhand was, and she replied, you
know, it's the strangest thing. He came in and asked what was for
supper. I told him we were having French fries, and he ran out
of here like a bat out of hell. Seven hundred WLW Cincinnati available everywhere

We got FC Cincinnati tonight at TQL looking to bounce back after a loss last
week against DC United on the road TQL Stadium, seven thirty. Of course,
the Reds continue their series with San Diego Padres, which had a very
auspicious beginning last night, to say the least of that three game set.
And of course Taylor Swift, which I don't know how that translates into sports.
Maybe I can ask Moe Egger this. It is at pay Course Stadium.
But since Taylor Swift, the concert tour she's currently on will probably net
or at least gross over a billion dollars for a concert tour this summer.
When hearing what Taylor Swift would make from this concert tour in just a six
month period, everybody in the NFL and NBA want more money. Uh hey,
mo, what's going on? What's happening? You can't shake that off?
Baby? I mean, I have very well done. I think that
it's as much she personally stands to make. And I don't know for sure,
but somebody told me this. For just this weekend in Cincinnati, Taylor
Swift herself will net nine million dollars for one weekend. Is that incredible or
what? This is crazy? This is what's going on now? Your daughter
is not old enough to go to Taylor Swift right. Uh no, but
she had. She did ask the other days who Taylor Swift is, so
she doesn't know. She doesn't know. Well, you might, You might
want to keep it that way. You can save a lot of money.
I think we yes, we will, Yes, we will, just not
let her know who Taylor Swift is and you'll be fine. Exactly. Wanted
to stand in line for for five, six, seven hours at a merch
truck a day before the concert, spend ninety dollars on a hoodie. I
mean, come on, I'm sure. I'm sure we're going to get to
that point soon. I don't know who the artist will be, but fortunately
we're not there yet. Yeah, exactly. So let's switch to I want
to save the best for last. And the best is, of course,
I mean, FC Cincinnati's huge back home with TQL and they're you know,
they're still trying to bounce back, like I said, But that's not the
best. The best is what happened last night at Great American Ballpark and continues
to happen with this Red's team this season. Let's start with a pretty big
story that's not that, and that is you see football and basketball finally officially
in the Big Twelve Conference, a power five in football. Tony Pike describes
it as the best major college basketball conference in the country, and they're going
to kick it off with twelve hundred twelve Skyline Coney's at UC at twelve o'clock
today. Will you be there? I will not be there. I will
actually be at the red game. But it's uh, it's a it's a
pretty big day for the University of Cincinnati. That was a big sort of
Big Twelve bash last night at Ryan Guys Brewery, which was a lot of
fun and I was lucky enough to be a part of that. It's you
know, it's it's great. I mean, now, you know the University
of Cincinnati. You talk about what Tony said about the men's basketball league,
and he's right. It's it's hands down, top to bottom, the best
basketball league in the country. And there's a lot of good to that.
Right, You're gonna get some premier teams coming into your building. You're gonna
get some great matchups. Uh, you're also gonna play a really really difficult
sketch prospective. You know, I don't know, I think West Miller has
had a really good off season. Um, are they at the level where
Baylor in Kansas and Houston are? No? Do they have this sort of
team that could be competitive in this league? Uh? Yeah, I think
I think you will go into the season thinking that they at least have a
chance to make the nc DOUBAA tournament. From a football perspective, they're going
into a league which, obviously from a competitive standpoint, it's going to be
much more difficult than the American Athletic Conference, but for both major sports,
and I think this would apply to the other sports as well. You're moving
into a conference with a with a conference is now an asset and not a
liability. Now I go back to two thousand and seventeen, mccronin had a
very good team. They lost two conference games all season long. They were
excellent at a seventh seed in the ncuba A Tournament. Why is that because
the conference did them no favors. Twenty twenty, Luke Fickel had an undefeated
team. They go nine and zero. They didn't make the College Football Playoff
and never were. Why the conference was a liability not an asset even when
they made it. In twenty twenty one, What made that special was all
the different things that had to happen around them for UC to get to the
College foot Ball Playoffs, on top of them winning every single game. Why
is that conference was a liability and so now it's from a competitive standpoint,
the conference becomes an asset. And then you know, from a revenue standpoint,
the University of Cincinnati is going to be able to maybe do some more
things because of the kind of coin that comes in with Big Twelve membership and
the media deals. The Big Twelve is going to strike and maybe most importantly,
Gary Jeff, I no longer have to go to Greenville, North Carolina,
And I think that might be the best thing about using moving up the
Big Twelve. See, I know somebody who lived in Greenville, Greenville,
North Carolina, right, not Greenville, South carol. Okay, I'm sorry.
Greenville, South Carolina is pretty cool from what I understand. But anyway,
so, yeah, you're not going to Greenville, North Carolina. You're
going to Norman, Oklahoma. Maybe you're going to going to Austin, Texas,
Right, I mean is that no? No? Texas is Texas SEC?
Now, well those two those two schools have one more year in the
Big Twelve. Okay, and then we'll be departing. Uh, Cincinnati and
football will play Oklahoma here September two. Don't play Texas and football this season.
Yeah, they don't take they don't play Texas in football this season.
But but yeah, I mean, look, you're still moving into a higher
profile, more impress stigish, and more lucrative league. And it's a good
day for UC to put the AC behind him and move on to the Big
twelve. And this obviously will help recruiting as well. Oh without Quesson.
I mean, you know, even in the nil era, where you know
it's basically pay for play, players still want to play in big stages,
on big stages. They still want to play in great venues. They want
to play against the best possible players. And you could sell those things in
the Big Twelve, and you can't necessarily sell them as much in the AC.
Look, Luke Fickle talked about this before you know, he left,
because this obviously, this log was announced while he was still here, and
he talked about just as good a job as he and his staff did of
recruiting the response they were getting from players and from families of players. By
being able to walk into a living room with a big twelve logo on the
pullover, and I think Scott Sanderfield is going to read those benefits, and
I know Wes Miller has read those benefits, so it should only continue.
Where are we at in the FC Cincinnati season here where I mean, it's
been a pretty impressive year so far for FC Cincinnati, but the loss against
DC United last week without they're one of their main players. Who's with the
US team. Where we stand with the game tonight against the New England Revolution
at TQL, Well, they're having a great year. We're basically approaching the
midway point of the season, but they're about to take a Major League soccer
pause because they're going to compete in it's called the League's Cup, which is
going to involve them other Major League Soccer teams and then some teams from overseas.
So it's the Major League soccer season for U S. Cincinnati is about
to be put on a better I guess a three or four week hiatus and
then they jump back in the Major League soccer play. There's been a lot
of talk of what the FC Cincinnati could do to add a goal scorer.
I think what you would say, though, to this point, this season
is so long you think about it. They played their first regular season match
on the day the Reds played their first Cactus League game, February the twenty
fifth or twenty six. It was that long ago. It's it's July and
they still have half a season in front of them. They've been a surprise.
I don't know that they've been the shocking revelation that some might make them
out to be, because I think if you saw the way they played at
the end of last year and you paid attention to the offseason they had,
he knew they had a chance to be a pretty good soccer team, and
they certainly have done that this year. They've been so much better defensively than
anybody ever would have imagined, and they've got a shot. They've got a
shot, obviously to win the US Open Cup. They clearly have a chance
to be the last team standing at the end of the year in the Major
League Soccer season. Speaking a halfway through the season, the Cincinnati Reds now
are a little bit more than halfway through the season. Eighty two games played,
forty four up, thirty eight down, and thirty come from behind victories,
leading the major leagues in first place in their division. Although it's you
know, it's you're right there with the Brewers right now. Nobody thought this
was going to happen, and a lot of people were kind of weary of
Graham Ashcraft after him showing so much promise. But last night was mastery and
that's just the kind of pitching performance the Reds have to have from their starters,
what Graham Ashcraft gave them last night against the Padres, and then all
the other drama that ensued after he was gone. Your comments, yeah,
I mean, you hit on the most important thing about last night. Another
comfort behind win, more Lake game dramatics, the roads from Matt McClain,
from Spencer Steer, just the sort of wind that fit in with what these
last four or five weeks have been like. But the most important development.
You're absolutely right, Graham Ashcraft. The Red starting pitching has to get better,
and we will spend the next four weeks wondering what does Nick Crawl do
to upgrade the starting pitching close to the deadline. Can this starting staff holds
served for the next few weeks before the deadline gives here? Can they get
Hunter Green and Nicoladolo back in the month of August and can those guys be
effective? But for as much as you could talk about, you know,
the patchwork way in which they've had to put together the rotation. Graham Asscraft
was part of the Big three at the beginning of the season, and in
the month of April he was often unhittable, and then in the month of
May looked like he was throwing bat in practice. His first start after coming
off the answered list last week was not good. Yesterday he was terrific.
And if that is reflective of what the Reds are going to get every fifth
day from him, that is going to be a major, major boost,
not just from the standpoint of giving him a better chance to win the games
he pitched, because there has to be some relief for this bullpen corps,
because they're just when you're asking David Bell to use four or five or six
different relievers every single night, at some point that's going to collapse. And
I think the relief corps has been actually pretty underrated this year in terms of
the job they've done. But they're just asking that group to do way too
much. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they went out and got a
reliever close to the deadline. But the way you sort of offset the amount
of times that David has had to go to his bullpen as you get longer
starts, and Graham Ashcraft is a candidate to give them longer starts on an
every fifth day bay and he did last night and it was sorely, sorely
needed. I mean I was watching the game and up to a point,
I'm like, Wow, he's almost as good as the rookie Andrew Abbott's.
Yeah, crazy stuff last night, and you know, and then we go
to the come from behind thing? What is that? What do you think
is that? Is it? Because they just don't believe they're gonna lose.
These young players, especially this core of Dela Cruz and Steer and McClane,
that they just don't believe they're gonna lose. So they just don't I mean,
what's going on with this? Because it's kind of other world, it's
otherworldly right now. Yeah, I think that element exists. I think there's
something about this team that I compare to the Bengals of two years ago,
where you know, we as fans were burdened by history. We could talk
about how long it's been since they advanced in the postseason and all that.
But these guys don't care about that and they play that way. And I
do think there's something that's, you know, from a chemistry standpoint, that
you really can't quantify. That's that's it's it's abundantly clear with this team.
But but I think more than anything, Gary Jeff, it's got a good
offensive club. And so you know you're trying to put them away in a
later innings, you know there's there's really not a place in the lineup where
you could take a deep breath and or a side of relief if you're the
other team's manager, and go, you know what, we're good here.
Uh. I think that's the most important thing. They've got a good offensive
team, and that's happened almost overnight. I think the other thing is it's
not just that they're a good offensive team, it's it's the way in which
they play offense. They're constantly putting pressure on opposing defenses. They're very aggressive
running the basis, look, sometimes that's going to cost you, right,
Ellie deler crew has got thrown out of the play it last night before.
Do you think that was huge. Do you think that was blocking the plate
by the catcher? I mean no, no, because on a play in
the end field you're allowed to do that, and Ellie never touched the place,
so no, I knew. I think on a play, if that
ball is coming from the outfield, that's blocking. I don't think there should
be blocking the plate rules, but by the letter of the rule because of
where the ball was hit and where it was coming from. No, it
wasn't blocking, but it was I think condicative of how this team plays.
They just offensively. They constantly put pressure on you. So if you're leading
by a run or two and now you know you walk the leadoff guy,
well you've got to worry about some guys who can hit the ball into the
camp. But also are they going to steal? Are they going to force
the issue where to we throw? I think on top of just the you
know, the the chemistry and the belief and and all that stuff which really
really matters, they've got a really interesting and good offensive lineup. The plays
in a way that I think, as as a defense and as a pitcher
and as a manager makes you really uncomfortable. And I think that I think
that's been a major, major reason and why they've done what they've done so
often late in games. Mo enjoy the game today, dodge the rain drops,
and have a happy Fourth of July. There you go, Moegger with
us on a Saturday morning Mike Allen Saturday Midday, Just ahead, counselor what's
on the program today? Well, i'll tell you what. We're going to
talk about. More evidence coming in concerning the Biden crime family. Would you
you might want to get in touch with Sandy Collins to see if she wants
to mention this in the newscast, maybe at nine or at nine thirty.
Yeah, there's been complaining about not specifically that, but just the news media
in general. They've kind of ignoring really seem to care about it. I'll
tell you what, Gary, jeff I got a new hero and his name
is Gary Shapely, the whistleblower from the IRS. I tell you one of
the things, and we're gonna talk about this, that judges instruct jurors in
criminal trials is to look at and consider the demeanor of the witnesses. That
guy is straight on, doesn't miss a beat. Contrast that with Marrick Garland,
who's nervous, who stutters, and that's not the be all to end
all, but it is something you should look at. The noose is tightening.
Well, listen Mike Allen Saturday Midday, That and much more just had
after the show show there are in newported huddles. Don't worry, no swift
he's allowed. Well, I mean, if you're a swifty mom, you
could come in, maybe catch a couple of cocktails before you take your teenage
daughter into that mess at pay Courts Stadium tonight. But listen, have a
fantastic Fourth of July. Looking forward to being in Patriot, Indiana tomorrow and
hopefully we don't get brained out for the Fourth of July Parade. I'll be
