WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.879 --> 00:00:07.160 Welcome to the Nightcap after Xavier Basketball on seven hundred 2 00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:11.080 WLW Hey Howdie, Gary, Jeff Walker checking in for just 3 00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:15.119 a brief little time tonight. We've got an hour for sports, 4 00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.960 for the out of Sorts, the wild Man and the 5 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.120 fur Ball we'll both be joining us in the hour 6 00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:26.079 coming up, and just some reflection on the Nightcap and 7 00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:29.359 this show and the things that we've talked about over 8 00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.480 the last seven eight years. I think we're into our 9 00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:36.439 eighth year of doing some night shows here on seven hundred, 10 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:42.920 and it's amazing the ground we've covered in that time, 11 00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:47.439 and we're still here for the moment that could all 12 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:53.320 change after tonight. Who knows, but from the scamdemic to 13 00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:58.439 an awful, awful malaise of a presidential administration that totally 14 00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:02.439 checked out on the American people. They were fine for 15 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:09.040 illegal immigrants, and they were fine for woke causes and 16 00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.319 all the rest, but basically they checked out on the 17 00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.920 American people. And Kamala Harris paid for that with a 18 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:18.640 loss this month to Donald Trump, who actually listened and 19 00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:22.599 spoke to the American people. My point is that we're 20 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.680 still here, we're still going, we're still ticking. We took 21 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:30.159 our licking, and America still is standing strong and moving 22 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.920 in the right direction again, and thank God, praise God 23 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:37.359 for that. We are very, very resilient as a country. 24 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.079 But we definitely could not have stood four more years 25 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.439 of Marxism in the White House and in the corridors 26 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:50.799 of power in our nation's capital. But we've survived. We 27 00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:55.439 are survivors. We are the ones who made the trip 28 00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:02.760 across the oceans in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to 29 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.879 come settle this country, to build this country. We were 30 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.960 the ones who left the East coast and headed out 31 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:14.120 into wilderness in the middle of this country and on 32 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.960 to the rest of the continent, from coast to coast. 33 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.159 There were a lot of people who did not make it. 34 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:25.719 A lot of people were not the enduring kind of 35 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:32.240 rough tumble Americans that embody today's American spirit and will 36 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.800 embody the next comeback, which we all pray is going 37 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.960 to happen here in just a couple of months when 38 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.159 Donald Trump and the new Congress take office. But whatever 39 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:48.439 comes our way, we will find a way around it, 40 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.039 over it, or through it, because we are the survivors 41 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:59.960 of the planet. Look across the globe America and it's 42 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.800 been a short ride comparative to other countries and cultures. 43 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:09.639 I understand this, but after almost two hundred and fifty years, 44 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:15.800 we're still going strong. And the smart money wasn't on us. 45 00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:20.840 When the founders began the United States of America. The 46 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:26.159 smart money was, well, that'll devolve into chaos and nonsense 47 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:28.840 in about twenty years or so, and they'll come back 48 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.479 to the kings and monarchs. They'll come back to the hierarchy. 49 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:37.080 That was Nope, not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent 50 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.639 at this juncture, Thank you, George H. W. 51 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:40.479 Bush. 52 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.879 Anyway, the wild Man is on the way in just 53 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:48.879 a few sit tight, take hold, Let's roll on seven 54 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:53.599 hundred WLW wild Man Sports for the out of sort 55 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:58.240 and bonus trivia quiz.

J. 177 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:30.600 Stroud and the Texans. That was that was kind of 178 00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.960 an outlier game compared to the ones that really asserted 179 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:39.320 their power. Philadelphia asserted their dominance of Los Angeles Rams, and. 180 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:40.080 They sure did. 181 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:40.600 Uh. 182 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.000 There was a ton of Eagles fans there too. 183 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.519 We know we had Cleveland beat Pittsburgh last Thursday, but 184 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.039 I think that's a that's a fluke. 185 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:49.799 Uh. 186 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.759 Cleveland actually has a decent defense. 187 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:57.240 But Pittsburgh just Mike Mike Talman, you know on on 188 00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:00.399 uh Sunday night games of Thursday night games something like 189 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:02.519 that when they play the Browns record that they can't 190 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:05.440 for some reason, they've always had trouble beating the Browns. 191 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:06.519 But I look at it this way. 192 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.559 If Cleveland can beat the brown because Cleveland can beat 193 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:14.279 the Steelers in Pits and Cleveland, Okay, yeah, all right, 194 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.600 and the Bengals beat Cleveland in Cleveland, the Bengals gonna beat. 195 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:19.639 The Steelers here. They can't. 196 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:20.039 They can't. 197 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.080 Steelers are good, Yeah, they are. 198 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.679 Good, but they're not They're not no offensive juggernaut. It's 199 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:27.519 gonna come down to their defense against our offense. Let's 200 00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:29.559 be honest here, to defense against our all. 201 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:33.639 Do you think do you think that the Bengals could 202 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.759 finish nine and eight and still get a wild card spot. 203 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:39.799 I'm not good. I'm gonna so I'm gonna take one. 204 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:40.720 I'm gonna take this game. 205 00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:43.080 That's the most important one of the bunch, because the 206 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.399 other ones you never know. You would play in Dallas 207 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.200 and playing Tennessee, you never know it's gonna They've they've 208 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:50.679 had the week off to prepare to get healthy. U. 209 00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:53.240 I think that your boys, Zach Taylor's already come out 210 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:55.279 and said the next six games are gonna be You're 211 00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:56.720 gonna see a different Bengals team. 212 00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.480 Yeah, we're gonna find out. We're gonna find out. Yeah. 213 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.519 And Nixon had a secret planned in the Vietnam War 214 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:03.639 and the. 215 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.159 YEA and there was and there was no nuclear weapons, 216 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.960 and then there was no nuclear there was a nuclear 217 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:14.000 weapons Remember in Iraq, there were nuclear weapons in Iraq. 218 00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:17.840 Yes, well, okay, well that's that's a different presidency, a 219 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:22.639 different war. But what I was asking about was you 220 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.759 and the Bengals. You're not going to make any predictions 221 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:29.679 that they're going to make this this amazing. So you're 222 00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:33.759 not shot, You're not delusional like a lot of Bengals 223 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.600 fans I've heard in the last couple of in fact, 224 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:36.679 they've got. 225 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:38.759 A shot, but they gotta gotta beat the Steelers. 226 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:40.480 And then I think the week after that they played 227 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:44.000 at Dallas, and Dallas stinks there, but they're pathetic. And 228 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:45.519 then after that they're going to come back here, I 229 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:48.399 think and play the Broncos. Broncos are pretty tough. I mean, 230 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.159 the Raiders hung with them for a while. 231 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.799 Yesterday. I was hoping the Raiders would pull over the upset. 232 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:55.320 And you got the you know, you got the Browns 233 00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:57.480 back here, and then you gotta go play the Steelers 234 00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:59.480 and then you got there's one part. 235 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.120 Of the Titans, and you got the Titans. But you 236 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:04.279 gotta you go. You must have to win out. You 237 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.919 really do they have to win out? Can they do it? Maybe? 238 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:11.080 I don't know. It depends on that defense. The defense 239 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:12.879 is going to tell the story. And we haven't seen 240 00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:13.399 anything but. 241 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:19.639 No Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow puts up all Star records, 242 00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:23.759 all proh passing game almost in every game that he 243 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.919 suits up. And the Bengals still with you. The Bengals 244 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:29.360 still can't win, wild man, They just can't win. 245 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:34.720 But well, just's beat the Steelers. Let's beat the Steelers 246 00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:36.799 on a Sunday. And here's here's the thing about it. 247 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.279 On Sunday, Gary Jeff. But that half that stadium we 248 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:41.960 filled with Steeler fans because a lot of Bengel fans 249 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.879 I know, and they're not dumb. They sell their tickets 250 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.960 because that Steeler fans will pay top dollar. That way, 251 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:49.559 it pays for half their season tickets. 252 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:51.000 Yep. 253 00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:55.200 And and my buddy, my buddy, motor Head rest his soul, 254 00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:58.279 would sell his four seats every year to somebody out 255 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.519 of Pittsburg, he said, and almost paid for my season 256 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:01.279 tickets for the year. 257 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.360 I would trade the tickets for the top dollar money 258 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.000 and they'd have to give me a terrible towel so 259 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.679 I could wipe with it, so I could wipe my 260 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:12.799 rear end with it, wild Man. 261 00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:13.159 Thank you. 262 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:15.320 A lot of the will be a lot of those 263 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.519 down there, and they'll probably be outside for sale. 264 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.240 Also, why wild Man, as you may have heard earlier, 265 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:21.960 loves the Jonathan India trade. 266 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:22.879 And oh I don't. 267 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.279 I think it stinks and thinks and thinks that the 268 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:29.120 Bengals are going to make the playoffs. You've heard it here. 269 00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:32.000 But I am Trivia king for the first time. 270 00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:35.480 You are ten for ten baby, good life, good looking 271 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:38.519 out wild Man.

Are you 286 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:16.159 doing the I am a. 287 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:19.679 I am a Thanksgiving traditionalist. We will have turkey at 288 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:23.399 my house. We will have dressing that I make. They 289 00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:26.000 always call it stuffing, but I don't stuff inside the bird. 290 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.480 That's really not it's not sanitary. 291 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.360 And it's at the table. You stuff yourself at the table. 292 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:36.879 Absolutely. I stuffed my my personal bird at the table 293 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.240 and it goes, it goes past the beak, and it 294 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.960 goes down the gullet and then it's in my stomach 295 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:47.840 and it's yummy tummy time. No I have. I'm going 296 00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:52.320 to make homemade mashed potatoes and homemade gravy. My Brussels 297 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.840 sprouts are a favorite of anyone who's had Gary Jeff 298 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.600 Thanksgiving dinner. What I do is I after I rinse 299 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:04.399 them off and I have them cut them in half 300 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:06.720 and then put them in a sauce tape pan with 301 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:11.000 butter and red wine and garlic and bacon andy there 302 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.159 just to die. They get caramelized on the bottom. We'll 303 00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:16.519 have a pumpkin pie and some cool whip, and we're 304 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:18.600 doing it at home. This year. It's the first year. 305 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.200 Got twelve of the last thirteen years I have cooked 306 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:25.159 the Thanksgiving meal and transported it to the bar that 307 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:27.879 I work in a Newport. This year, wow, this year, 308 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:28.639 we're not doing that. 309 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:29.720 This year. 310 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:31.720 We're staying So are you are you? 311 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:33.639 Are you going open? No? 312 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:34.960 No, the bar is not open. 313 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:38.399 I'm going to my niece. My niece is hosting Thanksgiving 314 00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:44.440 for the family in Georgetown, Kentucky, and we actually close 315 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.519 it to Lectionington Letsington, Kentucky really. 316 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.720 Actually and then normally normally we do it at our home. 317 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:52.639 But she's taking over and that's great. A little less 318 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:54.600 pressure on my wife. Well, it looks is good, so 319 00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:55.320 we'll be good. 320 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:57.799 Let me let me ask you this, because we really 321 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:00.879 didn't have any plans to go anywhere Thursday. But I'm 322 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:04.400 thinking I would much rather have somebody else cook the 323 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:06.799 meal and just show up and not have to clean 324 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:09.599 or anything. Is there two more spaces we could have it? 325 00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:12.480 Your nieces, I'm sure that, I'm sure that you could come. 326 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:14.599 And obviously their family is so big they probably fig 327 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:15.279 you're a relative. 328 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:20.559 Okay, all right, Well what does one do on a 329 00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:23.480 Bengals bye week? Does one reflect on the season so 330 00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:26.319 far and project of the season. 331 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:29.559 I mean, you know what all I hear is now, 332 00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:32.319 if the Bengals win the next six games, Fox Sports 333 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:34.599 says they got a seventy one percent chance to go 334 00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:36.720 to the playoffs. You know, I'm up with the speculation. 335 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:38.400 I don't want to hear about that they didn't play. 336 00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:41.039 It's great for them to have a week off get 337 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:42.720 their head together, but it's great for the fans to 338 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:44.680 have a week off as well. And I was watching 339 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.480 football yesterday and I'm watching the Philadelphia Eagles, yes all right, 340 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.000 and and the sae Quon Barkley right now has something 341 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.240 like sixteen hundred plus rushing yards for the season's on 342 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.359 pace to rush for two and fifty one yards, got 343 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:02.920 sixteen hundred and forty nine yards and scrimmage and now 344 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:05.960 the chanting MVP. All right, and the last running back 345 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:08.680 to win an MVP was Adria Peterson. And I'll say this, 346 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.960 I mean the MVP in the National Football League. You know, 347 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:13.839 it's a nice trophy, it's nice to have. I'm sure 348 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:16.240 players would rather have a Super Bowl ring, But the 349 00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:18.799 MVP is very similar to the Heisman. 350 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:20.359 Trophy in college. What do I mean by that? 351 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:24.359 Normally a quarterback atser's a quarterback award, And I thought 352 00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:26.799 Saint Kwon Barkley would definitely get the Offensive Player of 353 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:27.400 the Year award. 354 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.920 I think he certainly deserves the MVP. But the irony of. 355 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.720 The whole situation is this, for the last several years, 356 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.440 people were saying their running back position in football is overrated, 357 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:41.079 it's diminishing, it's going to disappear. Well, look what's happened 358 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:43.480 right now. You got a guy like Saint Kwon Barkley 359 00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:45.880 was basically kicked to the curb. But at New York 360 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.400 Football Giants, he was only seventy percent of their offense 361 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:48.920 a year ago. 362 00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:50.079 They let him go. 363 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:52.599 Obviously they're going to fire their coach, and they got 364 00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:54.839 rid of their quarterback. They got Tommy DeVito, and I 365 00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:58.160 was quarterback in the club. Daniel Jones is out on 366 00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:00.599 the street. He's looking for a job. They got rid 367 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:02.799 of him, and they got rid of Saquon Barkley. Then 368 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:07.119 all of a sudden, Tennessee lets Henry go. Derek Henry's gone, 369 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.000 and he's leading to Baltimore Ravens. So you got two 370 00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:15.279 running backs with over fifteen hundred yards right now doing 371 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.160 that on teams that didn't want them anymore. And you're 372 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:21.160 telling me the running back positions unvaluable. He can't win 373 00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:23.079 in the cold weather without a running back. 374 00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:26.359 Joe Mixon is on pace to have fourteen hundred yards 375 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:28.240 rushing this year and the Bengals let him go. 376 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:32.720 Right, It's an amazing situation. And I think, you know, 377 00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.200 what goes around comes around. People are gonna saying, you 378 00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:37.240 know what, this running back position is a little more 379 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:38.039 valuable than me think. 380 00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:39.160 You know what does the running back do? 381 00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:42.039 Takes the pressure off the quarterback, opens up the run, 382 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:44.200 opens up the passing game, but more than that, if 383 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.559 you have the lead, it keeps the obvious offense, the 384 00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:50.720 opposing offense off the field by running up the clock, 385 00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:53.319 you know, running down the time. The running back is 386 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:56.160 so important that I don't understand why there hasn't been 387 00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:01.279 much more, you know, interest in it, except perhaps salary wise. 388 00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:05.160 You don't hear these running backs arguing and sitting out 389 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:09.279 and demanding more money. It's always the quarterback and the receiver. 390 00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:13.839 No, it's those, It's mostly the receivers. Quarterbacks, I think 391 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.720 I have nothing more justified. But the receivers are divas. 392 00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.640 You're absolutely correct. I've said this for years. You know, 393 00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.880 a receiver, a wide receiver, has one great electric year 394 00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:30.359 and then he wants thirty million dollars and if he 395 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.519 gets paid thirty million dollars, he's never the same again. 396 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.640 And you've seen it over and over and over again 397 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:38.400 in the league. 398 00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:40.799 There was something by you. 399 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:44.039 Yes, I was listening to the radio just the other day, 400 00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:46.200 and I think it was one of the iHeart stays. 401 00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:47.920
