WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:05.360 I'm the oldest, contacted me and said, hey, do you 2 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:10.000 remember a guy named Lee back in the old neighborhood 3 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.000 in Hendersonville, Tennessee. And I said yeah. I said, well, 4 00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:16.280 he contacted me to see if there's any way to 5 00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:18.559 get in touch with you, because you know, I'm famously 6 00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.960 not on facepace or my book or I'm not a 7 00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:28.920 social media player, and in my business in this day 8 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.399 and age, that's almost to death knell. But no, I 9 00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:36.039 really don't fool around with him much. So anyway, he 10 00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:40.439 had the Lee in question had left him a number 11 00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:43.359 took for me to call if if John got in 12 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.000 touch with me, and he did, and I called, and 13 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.799 it was great to rekindle and kind of talk about 14 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:55.079 memories from when we were teenagers growing up in Middle Tennessee. 15 00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:00.039 Lee Greengrass lived right up the street from me, and 16 00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:09.239 excuse me, and I remember summers out in Lee's front yard, 17 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:13.400 tossing the football back and forth while Hotel California by 18 00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:16.319 the Eagles, and that first Boston album blared through his 19 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:20.719 bedroom window all summer long. It would have been what 20 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:25.719 summer seventy six or seventy seven, anyway, and I had 21 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:31.040 not talked to Lee. In years, my parents knew Lee's 22 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:36.000 mom and at the time her husband and all of 23 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.920 his brothers. Man they had one heck of a Brady 24 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:44.200 bunch in that house. But we have since communicated, and 25 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.280 I told him where to find me because he asked 26 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.879 this morning, and I hope he's listening. If you are 27 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.920 tuned in in tarp And Springs, Florida, Lee green Grass, 28 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.439 it's great to have you along for the ride. This 29 00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.519 is probably the strangest radio show you've ever heard in 30 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.519 your life. And hopefully all of the characters who usually 31 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:05.400 chime in will be with us today. I see Dick 32 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.360 is hanging on the line now, Dick from Dayton. He's 33 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.360 a treat. Mamma Tree have not heard from and maybe 34 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.039 her her care nerves, hasn't been able to get to 35 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.800 her room with a phone that can actually call the ring. 36 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:23.080 Mama Tree's phone for some reason. Her own personal phone 37 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.280 can only call my cell phone, which doesn't work for 38 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.840 on air. In fact, she already called me at five 39 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.000 point thirty, probably to tell me that no one's wheeled 40 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.199 her up to the UH or brought the phone back 41 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.759 from Florence Park Care. But I did want to take 42 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:45.400 this time because Dave from Dayton reminded me that it 43 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:50.319 is Mama Tree's birthday a week from tomorrow, and Lee, 44 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.479 if you get to hear Mamma Tree, he says, you'll 45 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:57.879 love it.

Now 159 00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.720 back to our irregular programming in. 160 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.799 Relief for former prof the studios. Today, Ron of course 161 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.039 does the in the Garden Show down the Hall at 162 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.480 fifty five KRSC on Saturday mornings, and apparently he's in 163 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:39.480 Columbus doing the show, which means that Liam, my young 164 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.559 growing boy producer, did not get breakfast. Ron always brings 165 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.519 Liam something to eat. And if I had known that 166 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.600 Ron wasn't in today, I would have helped, because I'm 167 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:55.120 not heartless, as some people have accused me of being 168 00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:59.159 in the past.

And when I 171 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.600 was talking about Carol Creighton Burnett, I forgot about one 172 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:17.399 of the most famous things you could say in remembering 173 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:22.000 Carol Burnett in her greatness, that tarzan yeah for example, 174 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:30.639 a me, me, me, okay, now there you go.

It really helped 176 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.720 with her volume, because that's how we do it, by 177 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:40.559 the way, is volume and turning the volume up on 178 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.679 a reception report.

Was it Lyle 188 00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:16.799 Wagner who was playing the Clark game? 189 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:22.759 Yeah, yeah, you talk about a straight man, you well, 190 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:23.519 you know. 191 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:25.480 I. 192 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:30.799 Can in question anytime you're talking about a Hollywood TV 193 00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:34.759 actor whether or not he was a straight man. But 194 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:39.879 but so the the the play between Harvey Korman and 195 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:42.600 Tim Conway on that show, and how Tim Conway would 196 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.159 purposely try and crack Harvey up in the middle of 197 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.480 one of the skits is some of the most classic 198 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.159 television ever done ever on the air, don't you agree? 199 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:58.679 Absolutely? And there weren't many many bloopers or many outtakes 200 00:11:58.720 --> 00:11:59.720 because they left most of. 201 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:00.440 Them in the show. 202 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:03.600 But the ones that they did have to redo are 203 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.720 priceless and maybe good luck finding some of those. But 204 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:10.159 we can talk about those off air because they're not 205 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:10.879 air friendly. 206 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.360 Yeah, just like the Newlywed Game, outtakes. Where's the weirdest 207 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:19.399 place you all? Whoopee? So how are you? How are 208 00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.720 you hearing? How are you enjoying the show? And what's 209 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:24.919 our what's our reception report this morning? Rick? 210 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.279 Oh, let me receive I can recover. Well, the reception 211 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.159 of war is five by five. You're absolutely loud, absolutely clear, 212 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.879 and not too surprising. This is a nineteen thirty nine Venus. 213 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:36.559 It is a. 214 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:40.759 Model five S three one nine. It's a five tube 215 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.759 Superhetero nine, so you wouldn't think it has much to 216 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.879 brag about. But Venus were just designed so much better, 217 00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:50.519 and they always surprised me every time. It's an AM 218 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.759 and shortwave radio. It sold for thirty dollars when new, 219 00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:58.279 and which is about seven hundred bucks today. Beautiful wood 220 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:00.919 cabinet with a speaker on the side. It's only thirteen 221 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.240 inches across and that's the biggest dimension, and it's got 222 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.960 five free sets and four knobs in this oval. They 223 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:10.559 called it a racetrack dials. That's actually gold background instead 224 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.600 of a black background, which was a nineteen thirty nine 225 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:17.200 thing for Zenith. But hey, let's go to the catalog, 226 00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:21.200 shall we sure a radio for every room at the 227 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:24.679 lowest prices ever.

I guess that means 233 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.440 it's small enough to fit on a table. I don't know. 234 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:52.759 Ive tube super hitor dye with transcontinental automatic tuning. Well 235 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:55.480 that sounds great unless you happen to know what transcontinental means, 236 00:13:55.519 --> 00:14:01.639 which means the buttons only work on am Woo's received 237 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:06.200 American and foreign broadcasts with a five inch speaker. The 238 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:09.240 smallest speaker is Zenith ever offered as a matter of fact. 239 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:14.279 So yeah, great gold oblong dial, only thirteen inches wide, 240 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:17.360 cabinet in beautifully grained walnut, which is very true. It's 241 00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:22.559 gorgeous and in some respects it's similar to Liam's, but 242 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.279 it is smaller I think the dials per year, but 243 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:29.440 the in other aspects it's it's very similar. In just 244 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:30.399 a beautiful radio. 245 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.559 You hear that, LIAMB. Your radio has dial envy of 246 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.159 this model. Rick is describing this morning. I wanted to 247 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.240 ask you too, because we're running these ads occasionally for 248 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:47.759 the these push to talk essentially walkie talkies, and I'm like, yeah, 249 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:52.399 walkie talkies are back. I loved walkie talkies as a kid. 250 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:53.639 Did you have walkie talkies? 251 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:53.919 Rick? 252 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:59.000 Are you kidding? The really problem was? I mean, I 253 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:02.639 wasn't an only child, but since my my nearest sibling 254 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.720 was so many years older than me, I never had 255 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.559 anybody to take the other one. And like when I 256 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:12.600 when I, you know, I had a friend and they said, hey, 257 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.320 let's take these and go out in the woods in 258 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:17.399 separate directions. Look at me, like, what do you want 259 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:19.720 to do? What's up with you? It's like, I just 260 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:20.360 think it's gold. 261 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.519 Come on, well, at least you invited your friend to 262 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:25.960 go out in the woods with you and go in 263 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:31.399 separate directions and not do something else and closer proximity 264 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:33.840 to each other. Wow, no, no, but we. 265 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:36.000 No. 266 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:39.440 What I'm saying that there was nothing better as a 267 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.399 kid than having a walkie talkie and pretending because you 268 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:45.279 weren't really pretending you were on the radio. You were 269 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:49.440 actually on the radio, but only only only one other 270 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.840 person could hear you. Perhaps unless you know someone had 271 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:56.080 that frequency and was And I grew up in the 272 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.720 days of CBE radio too, so that was kind of 273 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:04.679 pool in another respect channel and those. 274 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:08.080 Walkie talkies were actually on CBEE radio channel frequencies, but 275 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.840 they were low power and I don't remember the circumstances exactly, 276 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.200 but I do remember we were in Woodstock, New York's 277 00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:18.039 that would have been late seventies, and I actually well 278 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.360 quote fixed unquote, basically just cleaned a battery corrosion out 279 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.120 of a walkie talkie. And he only gave me the one, 280 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:28.879 but this was like a three water a five walt unit, 281 00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:33.360 which is a That thing's a transmitter, I mean it is, 282 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.200 it's gonna scream, and it was a good receiver too. 283 00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:39.120 And I was picking up somebody that was talking either 284 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:43.440 on another one or or on a CBE radio and 285 00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:46.240 standing at the end of my driveway to get the 286 00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:49.639 and the the whip antenna, I mean it was. It 287 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.039 was probably twice the size of a normal kid's walkie talkie, 288 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:56.759 but the whip intent I came out like eight feet 289 00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.240 long and it weighed about ten pounds. The clearly work 290 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.240 to hold the thing up and talking on it with 291 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.559 this fellow when found out he was like thirty miles 292 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:08.759 away and it was I was just flown away. 293 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:12.519 Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely good fun.

Steve from ETNA is 323 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.759 back with it. Fithy phone call and news of the week. 324 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:17.599 Good morning, Stephen, Good morning here on Saturday Morning Live. Okay, 325 00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:23.200 let's begin with the Minister of the month. Reverend Senator 326 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:27.119 Rafael Warnock of Georgia has been called out for a 327 00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:32.599 Senate ethics violation living rent free in Washington, d C. 328 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.799 At the behest of a church in Atlanta. That doesn't 329 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:39.400 sound really earth shattering. I mean, my god, there are 330 00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:42.599 all a bunch of crooks up there. But let's get 331 00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:47.279 into the particulars. Reverend Ralph is a part time pastor 332 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:52.440 at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. Sound familiar. Yes, it 333 00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:56.640 was the home church for Martin Luther King. The church 334 00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.519 has been doing very well lately. It owns a one 335 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:05.480 million dollar residence in Washington where the rent for unconnected 336 00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:09.359 folks is seven thousand, four hundred dollars a month. 337 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:10.880 Wow. 338 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.839 It makes me wonder how much Reverend Ralph is paid 339 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.200 to be that part time pastor at Ebenezer Church. In Atlanta, 340 00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:23.400 but I digress Senator Warnick is a big fan of 341 00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:27.559 the late dictator Fidel Castro of Cuba. You may recall 342 00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:31.279 that Forest Magazine found out that top commy Fidel owned 343 00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:36.559 nineteen haciendes on the island nation. You may also recall 344 00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:40.839 that early in the Biden administration, socialist Democrats were pushing 345 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:46.480 for provisions and the so called infrastructure bill that did 346 00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:51.680 become law which would destroy single family home ownership. 347 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:52.880 Yep. 348 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:58.359 Top Democrats like Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders all sport 349 00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:03.680 multiple single family homes that they have managed to accumulate 350 00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:06.640 on their modest public salaries. 351 00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:07.720 Wow. 352 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:13.000 What is it with extreme lefties and real estate? And 353 00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:15.920 how do they get a pass on what they want 354 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:17.680 to do to the rest of us? 355 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:18.640 Gee? 356 00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:21.079 I guess when the one percenters at the top of 357 00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:24.759 the food chain in communism want to live like capitalists 358 00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:29.799 they do. Last week, when we were saluting the Lord 359 00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:34.519 on Easter Sunday, I forgot to mention Luke Easter. I 360 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:37.839 ran across his story when I was browsing the net 361 00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:42.359 for stories on Easter Sunday and realized that the former 362 00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:46.799 Cleveland Indian carried the first name of one of the evangelists, 363 00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:52.400 besides a last name befitting the most Glorious Day in Christendom. 364 00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:58.160 Born in nineteen fifteen in Jonestown, Mississippi, Luke grew up 365 00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:00.759 to be a robust six to two hundred and forty 366 00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:04.839 pound first baseman for Cleveland from nineteen forty nine to 367 00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.200 fifty four. His late arrival at age thirty four was 368 00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.279 due to many successful years in Semi Pro Bowl and 369 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.559 a stint with the famous Homestown Grays of the Negro League. 370 00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:19.440 It was none other than Bill Veck of the Indians 371 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:23.119 who saw Luke play in the Negro League World Series 372 00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:26.920 and got the Grays to sell him to Cleveland. The 373 00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:29.960 Indians were the American League pioneers and breaking the color 374 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.000 line when they brought up Larry Dobie right after Jackie 375 00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:39.640 Robinson joined the Dodgers. Luke Easter soon followed. His was 376 00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:42.359 a short but great career, leaving Major League Ball and 377 00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:45.640 ending up in the miners, where he coached numerous future 378 00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:51.880 MLB stars. Luke, however, came to a sad end on 379 00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:56.400 March the twenty ninth, nineteen seventy nine. He was transporting 380 00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:00.759 payroll checks for an armored car company in Cleveland East End. 381 00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:05.200 When two robbers approached him and demanded the money he refused, 382 00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:09.400 he was shot dead. There is a statue of Luke 383 00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:13.400 Easter in a Cleveland park that's named after him, but 384 00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:17.720 the story doesn't end there. Both attackers were also engaged 385 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:23.599 with the police that a shootout. They were wounded, later tried, convicted, 386 00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:28.119 and sentenced. One got fifteen years in prison, the other, 387 00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:35.359 presumably the triggerman, got life. In nineteen eighty seven, thirty 388 00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:39.480 five year old Clinton Arnold was killed at Luke Easter 389 00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:44.039 Park while playing basketball. In twenty twenty one, a thirteen 390 00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:48.640 year old was shot and seriously wounded at Luke Easter Park. 391 00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:54.480 Is this the legacy of a popular sports hero? Let's 392 00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:58.880 hope the carnage stops because Luke Easter, the man named 393 00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:04.559 for an evangelist and the Savior's Greatest Day, deserved better. 394 00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:10.519 And Gary Jeff for your friend mister Greengrass boy, when 395 00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:13.119 you mentioned his name, did that ring a bell with me? 396 00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:19.519 How about James Raymond Greengrass of the Cincinnati Reds from 397 00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:23.920 fifty two to fifty four left fielder who with Gus Bell, 398 00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:28.960 Dave's grandfather, I think and Wally post of Saint Henry, 399 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:34.200 Ohio in rightfield. The three of them almost all got 400 00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:39.559 one hundred RBIs that fifty four year was mister Grengrass's 401 00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:43.319
