Speaker 2: How are you?
Speaker 14: Good morning, Carrie?
Speaker 11: Jeff.
Speaker 14: Well, I'm hanging in there, but this radio is doing
Speaker 14: more than hanging in there. You're coming in five by
Speaker 14: five by proxy though you're being.
Speaker 2: Received with What do I mean? By proxy?
Speaker 14: Means I don't have anything on the bench that I'm
Speaker 14: going to brag about or already haven't bragged about. All right,
Speaker 14: all right, this is a Toledo Steve radio that he
Speaker 14: is particularly fond of. It's from nineteen forty. It's a
Speaker 14: Western Royal model W six D eighteen And for those
Speaker 14: of you playing at home, good luck looking that one up.
Speaker 14: But I'll explain in a moment. The six two BAM radio.
Speaker 14: It's a nice wood cabinet RF stage. It's a hot receiver,
Speaker 14: was it ever, It's got six preset station levers and
Speaker 14: well Western Royal was the Western Auto store. Yeah, high
Speaker 14: end line and not common, but they didn't use that.
Speaker 14: It was usually truetone or if it was the bottom
Speaker 14: of the line, it was playmore where the lines that
Speaker 14: they sold, of course, like Series and everybody else they
Speaker 14: didn't make their own radio. It was probably made by Belmont.
Speaker 14: But nonetheless, this radio is actually a truetone model D
Speaker 14: twenty fifteen, but it's pushed into a wood cabinet in
Speaker 14: a very nice one.
Speaker 3: Which makes it a Western Royal.
Speaker 14: That's exactly right. Oh, but let's go to the catalog,
Speaker 14: shall we?
Speaker 3: We should?
Speaker 14: And I'm sad to say that, being from nineteen forty,
Speaker 14: my grandparents probably never sold one of these because I
Speaker 14: don't believe they bought the Western Auto Store in demmer
Speaker 14: Scott of Maine until post war, so.
Speaker 3: Anyway it could have been, could have been back inventory.
Speaker 14: You never know, you never know. I just had to
Speaker 14: notice in the catalog in this page there's three radio
Speaker 14: shown at the cost of twenty two ninety five, sixteen
Speaker 14: ninety five, and nine ninety five, which would be five
Speaker 14: hundred and twenty, three hundred and eighty and two twenty
Speaker 14: five respectively.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 14: Sorry, but every radio is pictured with an ashtray in
Speaker 14: front of it. And if you're going to buy the
Speaker 14: twenty two ninety five radio, it's got an ashtray with
Speaker 14: a rack of pipes in front of it and a
Speaker 14: nice lighter. It is sixteen ninety five radio. The ashtray
Speaker 14: has a single pipe leaning on it and a pack
Speaker 14: of matches. Looks like from a hotel the radio.
Speaker 3: No hold on the radio had an ashtray.
Speaker 14: No, no, no, just in the pictures.
Speaker 3: Oh oh, okay, all right.
Speaker 14: Placement, I guess. And the nine ninety five radio has
Speaker 14: an ash tray with just the butt of a cigarette.
Speaker 14: And really, so.
Speaker 2: That's how they were demarking how important each radio was.
Speaker 14: Indeed, or your class level?
Speaker 2: I guess are you saying, Are you saying that the
Speaker 2: playmore models were the butt of Western Auto's jokes?
Speaker 14: I am now, okay, So this radio is excellent for travelers, offices,
Speaker 14: sick rooms, et cetera, as well as small apartments. All right, okay,
Speaker 14: sick rooms, not healthy rooms. Gives excellent reception on local
Speaker 14: or chain broadcasts. Now what a chain broadcast I'm assuming network.
Speaker 14: I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2: Would be a guy at a radio station who was
Speaker 2: a chain smoker.
Speaker 3: That would be a chain broadcast.
Speaker 14: That would be everyone to night.
Speaker 3: You're right, pretty much.
Speaker 14: Tony's clear and pleasing lacks entirely that metallic twang found
Speaker 14: in many low priced sets.
Speaker 3: The last thing you built metallic tweet.
Speaker 14: It sounds like this sounds like my date, sturdily built
Speaker 14: with parts of the finest tested quality. It incorporates.
Speaker 9: You.
Speaker 3: You don't need to go anymore, Rick, You really don't.
Speaker 3: This is this is.
Speaker 14: Enough, Okay done, I'm out my crop.
Speaker 3: Old radio Rick at gmail dot com.
Speaker 2: If you'd like to find out more about that beautiful
Speaker 2: piece of furniture that you wish operated again called a radio,
Speaker 2: it's six twenty one.
Speaker 16: I'm toasting you, sin honey, we may be through you
Speaker 16: never care me comp no risky plays.
Speaker 2: As we wake our every Saturday morning trek eastbound down
Speaker 2: fifty two to the lovely village of Ripley, Ohio. How
Speaker 2: now Brown County. It's a gang at Brookies on Main
Speaker 2: Street in Ripley and they're rearing to go at six
Speaker 2: point thirty five on a Saturday morning.
Speaker 8: Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 11: No.
Speaker 2: We've seen these weird lights in New Jersey and other
Speaker 2: places around the country, and nobody knows what they are.
Speaker 2: The government had no explanation except to tell you that
Speaker 2: there's no security risk. If they don't know what they are,
Speaker 2: how can they tell us there's no security risk posed
Speaker 2: by these lights in the sky?
Speaker 3: So I wanted to question for you guys.
Speaker 2: Since you're out there a little ways away from the
Speaker 2: city in Ripley, in beautiful Brown County, Ohio, on the
Speaker 2: Ohio River at night, there are less lights around and
Speaker 2: so you can see more of the sky.
Speaker 3: Is that true?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 2: All right, all right, so you've got a good clear
Speaker 2: view of the sky. Have you seen any strange lights
Speaker 2: lately in the night sky around Ripley?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Just Christmas lights I saw.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean those can be strange, especially when these
Speaker 2: people put together these forty thousand light displays that are
Speaker 2: blinking and flashing with the inflatables, and I love it,
Speaker 2: but I mean it's it's a little weird. You gotta
Speaker 2: admit it's a little weird. So I have a question. What, Yeah,
Speaker 2: what were you going to say?
Speaker 17: Well, if we did, if we did see anything strange,
Speaker 17: there's no police to call, so the.
Speaker 8: Like teach it.
Speaker 2: I have I have another question. And some people can
Speaker 2: see these with the naked eye, believe it or not.
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen the rings around your rainus? You'll
Speaker 2: probably share, You'll probably need You'll probably need a mirror
Speaker 2: or two.

Speaker 20: tenant farmers. Ernie joined the US Navy Reserves in World
Speaker 20: War One, but he was too late to go overseas.
Speaker 20: He made it up for He made up for it
Speaker 20: big time in World War Two. He did not wear
Speaker 20: a uniform. He was a war correspondent. His newspaper columns
Speaker 20: about gis made him a household word, always giving the
Speaker 20: hometown street addresses of the men and women in uniform
Speaker 20: he chronicled. His stories were carried in over four hundred
Speaker 20: daily papers in the United States. Published posthumously, Here is
Speaker 20: Your War. The Story of Gi Joe tells the story
Speaker 20: of the North Africa Campaign. It was published in early
Speaker 20: forty five. On April the eighteenth, nineteen forty five, Ernie
Speaker 20: Pyle was killed by a Japanese machine gunner on an
Speaker 20: island during the Battle of Okinawa. He was forty four
Speaker 20: years old. When Okinawa was returned to the Japanese after
Speaker 20: the war, they allowed the Ernie Pyle Memorial to remain intact,
Speaker 20: a tribute to the legendary war correspondent, perhaps because every
Speaker 20: gi in every nation in time would identify with every
Speaker 20: tale he told. Here's one of them. War has its
Speaker 20: peculiar sounds. They are not really much different from sounds
Speaker 20: in the world to peace, but they clothe themselves in
Speaker 20: an unbelievable fierceness born in danger and death. The clank
Speaker 20: of a starting tank, the screams of a shell through
Speaker 20: the air, the ever rising wine as a bomber dives.
Speaker 20: These sounds have their components in normal life, but once
Speaker 20: heard in war, they are never forgotten. The memory of
Speaker 20: them comes back in a thousand ways. Even the sound
Speaker 20: of a shoe dropping to the floor in a hotel
Speaker 20: room overhead becomes indistinguishable from the faint boom of a
Speaker 20: big gun far away that can paralyze a man with memories.
Speaker 20: The danger, he says, comes in spurts. Discomfort is perpetual,
Speaker 20: dirt and cold are almost constant. Outside of food and cigarettes,
Speaker 20: there are none of the little things that make life
Speaker 20: normal back home. There are no chairs, no lights, no floors,
Speaker 20: no tables. The velvet was all gone from living.
Speaker 8: There is a.
Speaker 20: Memorial poem written by a Canadian physician serving in World
Speaker 20: War One France. It's called in Flanders Fields. Lieutenant Colonel
Speaker 20: John McCrae remembers read poppies, which since have become a
Speaker 20: symbol for remembrance of those killed in war. Had Ernie
Speaker 20: read that nineteen fifteen poem when he was a student
Speaker 20: at Indiana University. He writes, this war is very little
Speaker 20: like the last war in France. Yet in Africa, too
Speaker 20: many Americans sleep beneath fields of poppies, poppies so read
Speaker 20: and vivid that their beauty is strangely saddening. In the
Speaker 20: last chapter of this book, he says something that should
Speaker 20: resonate with contemporary Americans who are witnessing our current Second
Speaker 20: Civil War. Quote, there are days when I sat in
Speaker 20: my tent alone, and I gloomed with a desperate belief
Speaker 20: that it was actually possible for us to lose this war.
Speaker 20: I don't feel that way anymore. Despite our labor strikes
Speaker 20: and bickering and confusion back home, we are producing at
Speaker 20: home and hardening over seas. Apparently, it takes about two
Speaker 20: years for a country like America to become wholly at war.
Speaker 20: We had to go through the transition period of letting
Speaker 20: loose of life as it was, and then live the
Speaker 20: new war life so long that it became the normal
Speaker 20: life to us. Here's your war ends with this line.
Speaker 20: When we leave here for the next shore, there is
Speaker 20: nothing we can do for the ones beneath the wooden crosses,
Speaker 20: except perhaps to pause and murmur, thanks Pal. There is
Speaker 20: a simple wooden sign where he was killed in Japan.
Speaker 20: It says at this spot the seventy seventh Infantry Division
Speaker 20: lost a buddy. Though not a member of the military,
Speaker 20: always seemed to be Ernie's family. He was married. He
Speaker 20: and his wife, Jerry, also a writer, had divorced, then
Speaker 20: they remarried during World War Two. They had no children.
Speaker 20: Jerry died several months after Ernie. She never fully recovered
Speaker 20: from the loss, and either of we. They had both
Speaker 20: suffered from alcoholism and chronic depression. Their entire adult lives
Speaker 20: rest in peace. Ernie and Jerry American warrior writers. And
Speaker 20: that's it for today. Jerry, Jeff Merry.
Speaker 2: Christmas, Merry, Christmas, Steve. I've read some of Ernie Pyle's reports,
Speaker 2: most notably in the Tri State Warbird's memorial that they
Speaker 2: have to our veterans that they put out and I
Speaker 2: will remind you of that a little bit later on.
Speaker 2: But very poignant, very to the point, and very very
Speaker 2: reassuring that we shall survive somehow, Ray and Lovelin.
Speaker 8: Good morning, Carrie, Jeff, my brother, how are you doing today?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: Have a little foggy brained, I guess.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 11: Well, you're sound and fantastic, and I'm as you know,
Speaker 11: my my my senior diet coach McDonald's half full. So
Speaker 11: I want to take I'm taking the high road here.
Speaker 11: I'm doing my best, and I almost want to say
Speaker 11: accentuate the positive. You know, last night and I thoroughly
Speaker 11: enjoyed Steve segment. There is always and his so right
Speaker 11: and we need to be reminded. And last night I'm
Speaker 11: going to celebrate some beautiful things, just little things that
Speaker 11: we all need to celebrate. And you know, able to
Speaker 11: go to King's Island. They have a Christmas operation out there.
Speaker 11: They have a you know that they have a singing Nativity.
Speaker 11: As we leave, as we're leaving their singing, Oh Holy Night.
Speaker 11: And I drove past here in Loveland where they're going
Speaker 11: to have a live Nativity scene tonight, and they have
Speaker 11: it most every year. And you know in the folks
Speaker 11: here at the McDonald and love and said, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 11: You know all I need? Here's what I need. I'm
Speaker 11: gonna put this out because I have not heard, nor
Speaker 11: have I seen of the Salvation Army. I haven't heard
Speaker 11: the bell, and the bell still rings from me, Gary Jeff,
Speaker 11: and I'm I want, I want to find the Salvation
Speaker 11: Army a bucket somewhere.
Speaker 8: Please tell me.
Speaker 2: I found one on Kickoff weekend a couple of weekends
Speaker 2: ago at the Newport Kroger, the Pavilion Newport Kroger, which
Speaker 2: is a wayte for you to drive.
Speaker 3: But they are out there, the red kettles are out there.
Speaker 2: Amen.
Speaker 8: Amen, fantastic. All right, God bless your brother all the
Speaker 8: very best you, Gary Jeff.
Speaker 3: God blessing, Merry Christmas. Ray, thanks for checking in.
Speaker 2: Into another hour the Saturday Morning edition for this Saturday,
Speaker 2: December fourteenth, twenty twenty four. I'm Gary Jeff Walker, I think,
Speaker 2: and you are you and that is perfectly fine with me.
Speaker 2: The Christmas spirit has started to infiltrate my brain and
Speaker 2: my entire being. And I'm just feeling more in the
Speaker 2: mood than I have probably all season long. For some reason,
Speaker 2: odd reason. It's seven minutes past the hour, and I
Speaker 2: think we ought to do this check in with our
Speaker 2: environmental engineer and friend, Steve Shulte. How about that, let's
Speaker 2: do it. See trees some green, red too?
Speaker 4: I seen them blue?
Speaker 2: And I think to myself what I run out?
Speaker 3: The great Satchmo and the great Steve Shulty.
Speaker 2: How are you doing, Stephen?
Speaker 12: Good morning, gear, Jeff, better than I deserve, as always.
Speaker 2: Yourself doing well, doing well, Thank you for talking about
Speaker 2: the oceans this morning, among other things. And that's all this,
Speaker 2: all this knowledge and garbage. We hear a knowledge and
Speaker 2: garbage together, and sometimes it's intermixed, so you can't tell
Speaker 2: what's what about CO two? But the oceans remove a
Speaker 2: lot of CO two from the atmosphere, don't they.
Speaker 12: We got some more good news again from Heartland dot
Speaker 12: org Yesterday's Climate Change Weekly in number five, twenty eight. Headline.
Speaker 12: The article is oceans remove more carbon dioxide than previously believed,
Speaker 12: and the journal Nature finds oceans remove more CO two
Speaker 12: in the atmosphere than previously believe. That's necessitating a rethink
Speaker 12: of the erth's carbon budget and assumptions built into the
Speaker 12: models about how the ocean's atmosphere interact. This study was
Speaker 12: done with the interest team of fifteen scientists from universities
Speaker 12: and research institutes in Great Britain and the Netherlands, examining
Speaker 12: temperatures of the ocean at various depths and over various years,
Speaker 12: and so on.
Speaker 10: And so forth.
Speaker 12: Bottom Line, their research suggests that the Atlantic oceans carbon
Speaker 12: sinc is much greater than previously believed, and as a result,
Speaker 12: they conclude quote accounting for this increased ocean uptake will
Speaker 12: probably require some revision of how global carbon budgets are quantified. Basically,
Speaker 12: what they're talking about, Gary Jeff, is that the models
Speaker 12: that we have been using, or that the UN has
Speaker 12: been using to for the propaganda, have been running and
Speaker 12: as we talked about this, and this might be one
Speaker 12: of the reasons why these models and we talked about
Speaker 12: it have been running hot. That is, when you use
Speaker 12: it to predict from using past data, run them through
Speaker 12: the models to predict today's data. They consistently run two
Speaker 12: to three times hotter, and this may be one of
Speaker 12: the reasons that that that is so and so so.
Speaker 2: One of the reasons why all the predictions of doom
Speaker 2: and gloom have been nothing short of just wrong period.
Speaker 2: End of story. Any here's my question. I think CO
Speaker 2: two is a good thing. I think we could use
Speaker 2: a little bit more in our atmosphere. So, I mean,
Speaker 2: do we really need to budget our carbon as human beings.
Speaker 2: Probably not. I think the Earth is doing The Earth
Speaker 2: is doing just fine, taking care of it itself. And
Speaker 2: real quick nations, which are nations that are not on
Speaker 2: the dollars standard, are supporting continued fossil fuel usage. Well,
Speaker 2: we're being told we've got to cut it out.
Speaker 12: Hip in the same peace from the Climate Change Weekly,
Speaker 12: regardless of climate change, bricks nations announce support for continued
Speaker 12: fossil fuel. So who are bricks Brazil, Russian, India, China,
Speaker 12: and South Africa. But now they also have new members Egypt, Ethiopia,
Speaker 12: Ran and the United Arabics, So I guess it's bricks plus.
Speaker 12: But they met back in Russia in October twenty second,
Speaker 12: the twenty fourth for a couple of days, and this
Speaker 12: was weeks before the UN Climate in Ajabajan. And bottom line,
Speaker 12: when they came out of their meeting, they said they
Speaker 12: openly declared that their domestic energy needs and economic well
Speaker 12: being will take residence over international climate agreements.
Speaker 11: Like the PA.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, and we're out of time, Steve, but
Speaker 2: I can't wait January twentieth cannot get here fast enough
Speaker 2: for me. When it comes to this nonsense, we'll be
Speaker 2: back out of the Paris Climate Accord where we belong,
Speaker 2: and the UN can go, and al Gore can go.
Speaker 2: I won't say it. Have a lot, have a lovely day,
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, my friend. Seven twelve with seven
Speaker 2: hundred WLW. Time for the Tom Davis tyries. I like
Speaker 2: to refer to these as the and now here's your
Speaker 2: reporter with wacky stories from around the country and around
Speaker 2: the world, the aforementioned Tom Davis Tom.
Speaker 21: Good morning, Gary, Jeff this week, sorry grandma, will that
Speaker 21: be cash credit or Venmo? But first, an amazing story
Speaker 21: about some amazingly stupid thieves. A man and a woman
Speaker 21: in Washington State stole fifteen thousand dollars worth of jewels
Speaker 21: out of a storage facility and then tried to flee
Speaker 21: from police in a row boat, which sprung a leak
Speaker 21: and sank to the bottom of the river. They swammed ashore,
Speaker 21: where they were arrested. No word on whether or not
Speaker 21: the jewels went down with the ship. Every vote matters.
Speaker 21: A tie in a Utah mayor's race between Dustin Ghetto
Speaker 21: and Paul Glover was decided by the flip of a coin.
Speaker 3: It was best two out of three. Dustin won and
Speaker 3: will be the mayor of Midvale.
Speaker 21: What a prize, and congratulations to Chad Caruso who just
Speaker 21: rode a skateboard across the country from Venice Beach to
Speaker 21: Virginia Beach. It took him fifty seven days, he made
Speaker 21: it into the Guinness Book of World Records, and when
Speaker 21: he got to the Atlantic Ocean, he threw the skateboard
Speaker 21: in the water. And finally, just when you think your
Speaker 21: family holiday gatherings couldn't get more contentious, there's a new
Speaker 21: trend that could end in a complete and total disaster.
Speaker 3: Charging relative for dinner.
Speaker 21: It comes to us from the UK, where forty six
Speaker 21: percent of families charge their guests for food and booze.
Speaker 21: Social experts say that if you're gonna do this, let
Speaker 21: your family know, preferably before they show up, but especially
Speaker 21: before they dig in. I mean, just imagine your drunk
Speaker 21: uncle's reaction to handing him the bill. Next week, Kentucky
Speaker 21: man arrested while driving donkey under the influence.
Speaker 3: Have a great weekend.
Speaker 2: It is rock and roll Archaeology, and today a special
Speaker 2: countdown list celebrating one artist. Sometimes really big things come
Speaker 2: in very small packages.
Speaker 7: Uh huh, honey, Ahrahamzim.
Speaker 22: Know things are lucky here.
Speaker 2: Dingsy want tail.
Speaker 7: Nobody secret Baby, are keeping to myself?
Speaker 22: Sweet knows sweet nothing.
Speaker 23: We walk along hand in hand, m.
Speaker 22: Sweet nothing.
Speaker 23: Yeah, we both understand.
Speaker 22: Sweet nothing, but sitting it bad to trying to read
Speaker 22: my book. My baby, give me that special look. Swee
Speaker 22: loving sweet nothing.
Speaker 1: Baby.
Speaker 2: Going back to the early days of rock and roll.
Speaker 2: Nineteen fifty seven was her first stab at stardom. She
Speaker 2: was twelve years old. This week she celebrated her eightieth birthday.
Speaker 2: We are celebrating the life and music of Brenda Lee
Speaker 2: this morning. And to do that, the music professor Jim Tarpley,
Speaker 2: Jim Tarpley, Jim Lebarbara joins in it. Thinking about Brenda
Speaker 2: May Tarpley, which was her given name, Jim. You had
Speaker 2: a lot of experiences and a lot of stories regarding
Speaker 2: Brenda Lee through the years.
Speaker 9: Oh wonderful lady. We got to thank Christopher. Help let's
Speaker 9: pick this top five out that.
Speaker 2: All my wife said. Reminded. We were talking about what
Speaker 2: we're going to do this morning. I guess on Thursday night,
Speaker 2: and Chris, Brenda Lee's birthday is this week.
Speaker 3: We had to do something. I said, Okay, you're the boss,
Speaker 3: let's go.
Speaker 9: I love Brenda Lee. She lived in Cincinnati for a while.
Speaker 9: She was telling me, she said, well, you may I
Speaker 9: lived there. I lived in the Price Hill. I lived
Speaker 9: in Price Hill and was back in nineteen fifty nine.
Speaker 9: Her father had passed away, her mother remarried, and her
Speaker 9: new dad took a job in Cincinnati. He worked at
Speaker 9: the Jimmy Skinner Music Center, and Brenda Lee performed with
Speaker 9: Jimmy Skinner at the record store on two Saturday programs
Speaker 9: and they were broadcast over. She sent over the Newport,
Speaker 9: Kentucky radio station WNP, and then she went back home
Speaker 9: to Georgia. And that's when she really got discovered by
Speaker 9: Red Foley. But the song we just played, sweet and
Speaker 9: Nothing's that was the first major hit recorded nineteen fifty nine,
Speaker 9: and they hit the nineteen sixty and the purported guy
Speaker 9: on the boyfriend on the record happened to be the
Speaker 9: guy in the backup signals Anita Kurch singers, and he
Speaker 9: only got that job because he was the closest to
Speaker 9: the microphone, so I canalin O would do that. Interesting
Speaker 9: couple of backstories. Elvis Presley huge fan of this song,
Speaker 9: and according to Priscilla, who met Elvis when he was
Speaker 9: stationed in Germany during the service, he was playing the
Speaker 9: record when she walked in the room to meet him.
Speaker 2: For the first time.
Speaker 9: And then when Elvis came back to the States, he
Speaker 9: contacted Benda leea Nashville and he said, man, I just
Speaker 9: love that record. Can you send me an autograph copy?
Speaker 9: And even set a limousine over to pick it up
Speaker 9: at her manager's office, and she said the office went crazy.
Speaker 11: Now the song.
Speaker 9: If you listen to that song, Branda Lee's voice very convincing.
Speaker 9: Prince's producer David Ze adapted her vocals on Princes Worldwide
Speaker 9: nineteen eighty six, had Kiss ensuring that that legacy of
Speaker 9: Suite Nothing's would live on forever.
Speaker 2: And Nework, Oh the next one on our Brenda Lee
Speaker 2: list this morning, go ahead, prop yeah, A.
Speaker 9: Little girlfriend down and he is a Kentucky Jackie DeShannon
Speaker 9: wrote this. It's called dumb dumb, and it became a
Speaker 9: big million seller for her, and uh, it's a perfect
Speaker 9: answer for people going through a tough time. You find
Speaker 9: yourself feeling down. Put this song on at Brenda Lee
Speaker 9: Bery confidantly things about her transformation, emphasising that she will
Speaker 9: no longer be a dumb dumb.
Speaker 2: Rock and roll archaeology on a Saturday morning celebrating Brindally.
Speaker 23: A don't tom.

Speaker 24: don't don't don't tom hodiarly dum.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, dum dumb diddle dumb spare no expense on
Speaker 2: the lyrics. Another big hit for Brenda Lee a celebrator
Speaker 2: or eightieth birthday this week. The next song is uh,
Speaker 2: one of those kind tendered boy. You want to talk
Speaker 2: about the difference, the dichotomy between the hit records she had,
Speaker 2: because she had these heartbreaking, heart wrenching ballads and she
Speaker 2: also had songs like dumb, Dumb.
Speaker 3: What's next on our list?
Speaker 2: Jim?
Speaker 9: Well, there's a big film that came out in nineteen
Speaker 9: sixty Never on Sunday, and the man who wrote the
Speaker 9: music for it was on Oscar winning the soundtrack Menace
Speaker 9: as Dikas. He composed the music that was used in
Speaker 9: that film and also in a movie called The Island
Speaker 9: of the Grave, and he wrote some kind of a medley,
Speaker 9: like a medley of things, and he sent to Brenda
Speaker 9: these management as a tune to be considered for her record,
Speaker 9: and they translated into English and it came out this
Speaker 9: song that became a big and multi million selling record
Speaker 9: for her. And she exploys in this song the theme
Speaker 9: of heartbreak when she's just like a kid, you know,
Speaker 9: four foot nine, little girl and loneliness and heartbreak and
Speaker 9: a very painful goodbye, and she delivered it break up
Speaker 9: song about loneliness, all lone and.
Speaker 25: All empire ever since. You're goodbye all alone with just
Speaker 25: a bit of my heart, people all around, But I
Speaker 25: don't need a sound, just the lonely beating of my holl.

Speaker 2: Round, Jim, I gotta tell you, I'm throwing your curve
Speaker 2: ball this morning. And I know that you haven't planned
Speaker 2: for us to play this record, but I threw an
Speaker 2: extra in because we had some time celebrating Brenda Lee
Speaker 2: on Rock and Roll Archaeology.
Speaker 3: I just love this song so much.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna let it play if you've got any
Speaker 2: thoughts after it plays for a minute or two. This
Speaker 2: is what I talked about, the ballads, just the heart
Speaker 2: wrenching ballads that she was capable of. This maybe is
Speaker 2: one of my favorites, and I forgot about it the
Speaker 2: other night when we were talking Brenda Lee and I'm
Speaker 2: losing you.
Speaker 3: Check it out.
Speaker 1: Don't sung.
Speaker 2: Aside for me, don't.
Speaker 23: Come for me, this is good bye.
Speaker 3: I'm no way through.

Speaker 20: NIC's art to.
Speaker 3: Me because I'm losing you now, prop tell me, is
Speaker 3: that a great record or what?
Speaker 2: Huh?
Speaker 9: So? Beautiful record?
Speaker 2: Beautiful record and I just had I had just slid
Speaker 2: it in there since we had time. Seven forty five
Speaker 2: on a Saturday morning on seven hundred Wlwjim Lebarbera, the
Speaker 2: music professor of celebrating Brinda Lee on her eightieth birthday
Speaker 2: week on this Saturday morning, and up next probably the
Speaker 2: second most well known and popular Brinda Lee hit of
Speaker 2: all time.
Speaker 3: We'll get to number one in a moment. But tell
Speaker 3: me about this next song, Jim.
Speaker 9: Yeah, this is really like her signature song. And guys,
Speaker 9: when you heard this song, you know this girl was
Speaker 9: like fifteen. She just turned fifteen years old to record
Speaker 9: the song. And yeah, you really had to think about
Speaker 9: this because she's fifteen years old. Decca Records really sent back.
Speaker 9: They actually released this record for him. A few months
Speaker 9: they were going over the legalities of ni king. Hey,
Speaker 9: you're saying with such passionate about an affair of the
Speaker 9: heart and she was a child star. She's four poot
Speaker 9: I Jink Brendley and sold one hundred million records over
Speaker 9: the years. Both a member of the Country and the
Speaker 9: Rock and Little Hall of Fame. But very unique lady.
Speaker 9: And this song is maybe the first example of the
Speaker 9: national sound. And the producer Owen Bradley did all her stuff,
Speaker 9: discussed the ballad and there's too short, it's too short
Speaker 9: and repetitive. And then in the studio the nextra time,
Speaker 9: so they recorded the song. They had musicians, they made
Speaker 9: different arrangements on the spot, with a violinist answering her
Speaker 9: throughout the vocal. And then there was a problem. The
Speaker 9: eight bar song was still too short, and she had
Speaker 9: to get creative. Now she had worked in Vegas, there
Speaker 9: had to be sixteen bars. She had worked in Vegas
Speaker 9: with the ink spots in spots, and she remembered the
Speaker 9: recitations that they would doing songs. So she did this
Speaker 9: on the spot and she said, yet they all agreed
Speaker 9: I should speak. So I did a little spoke spoken
Speaker 9: verse in the song and she slowed it down and
Speaker 9: her kickup that we heard of the two songs there
Speaker 9: with Dumb, Dumb and methings. She that was kind of
Speaker 9: her trademark, so they incorporated reporated that into the song.
Speaker 9: I feel those os ether thing just took off like crazy.
Speaker 9: Of course we're talking about I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Well, you're right. You can hear Owen Bradley's fingerprints all
Speaker 2: over this.
Speaker 23: I'm sorry, so sorry.
Speaker 20: That job.
Speaker 7: I didn't know, lovely so cruel.
Speaker 9: The boot.
Speaker 20: You tell me, I'm miss day.
Speaker 2: Oh a door.
Speaker 20: Her that has been done.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, so.
Speaker 7: Sorry. Please accept my apology. But love is blind and
Speaker 7: I was too blind to see.
Speaker 3: There you go, straight out of the ink Spots playbook.
Speaker 2: On the fly in the studio, jim Lebarbara, we're up
Speaker 2: to our most popular Brinda Lee song without This is
Speaker 2: a song that becomes a hit almost every year.
Speaker 9: Absolutely. I got to say, she's such a wonderful lady.
Speaker 9: I called her one night and everybody's screaming and yelling
Speaker 9: on the background. She comes to the phone, Yes, Jimmy, Jimmy,
Speaker 9: and because I said this is Jimmy, oh with me,
Speaker 9: they were expecting to call from Jimmy Carter. Who you
Speaker 9: love that president? She later called me back. I apologize
Speaker 9: for people acting crazy like that because Jimmy said it
Speaker 9: but I get elected, I'm going to fly you to
Speaker 9: such and such a spot for the big party we're having.
Speaker 9: And then the last time you were begether doing the show,
Speaker 9: I was backstage and she was like maybe fifteen twenty
Speaker 9: feet away from me, and I didn't talk to her,
Speaker 9: and she came over to me. She said, are you
Speaker 9: mad at me? And I said no, I know so
Speaker 9: many performers just don't want to be bothered right before
Speaker 9: they go on stage. She said, Jimmy, come on, I've
Speaker 9: been doing this for so long, so let's go back
Speaker 9: ball me day sixty six years ago. Here's this little
Speaker 9: thirteen year old girl, four foot man, he's this tall,
Speaker 9: walking into a national studio and recording the song that
Speaker 9: the guy who wrote it, Johnny Mark's. He wrote a
Speaker 9: bunch of songs root Off, the Red Nose, Rein Deer,
Speaker 9: and the Holly Jolly Christmas. But he's specifically told me
Speaker 9: he wrote this song for Wenda Lee, And she had
Speaker 9: no knowledge to why Johnny would write this song specifically
Speaker 9: for her because at the time, she's like twelve years
Speaker 9: old and she doesn't really have a giant hit record.
Speaker 9: The recording studio Owen Bradley wants to get her into
Speaker 9: the mood. He's got his own studio down there and
Speaker 9: this is Decca Records, and he has a full Christmas
Speaker 9: recorse set up to get her in the mood for
Speaker 9: the believer in the perform minutes that she gave and
Speaker 9: this song. Incidentally, last year, this song became on the
Speaker 9: pop charts, became the number one record, So at the

Speaker 2: of the college football bowl season. I mean, if you
Speaker 2: care about the celebration or the is four s Salute
Speaker 2: to Veterans Bowl, but the big college football game today.
Speaker 2: The only regular season game on the schedule is the
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty fifth Army Navy game. Army ranked
Speaker 2: eighteenth in the nation. They're eleven and one, Navy is
Speaker 2: eight and three, and you might want to bet the
Speaker 2: over on the end. For the first time in years.
Speaker 2: That game will kick around three o'clock this afternoon. Of course,
Speaker 2: there is a college basketball in town, the shootout as
Speaker 2: you heard, between u SE and Xavier, which is you
Speaker 2: know you see, is like way do to win a game,
Speaker 2: and they are favored, so Xavier ger will probably win
Speaker 2: just the way it goes with that rivalry. Here all
Speaker 2: that action here, Our cupboard starts at one thirty seven
Speaker 2: hundred WL but time for science might.
Speaker 9: As a scientists surs blinded me.
Speaker 3: And a science minute. Michael.
Speaker 2: You know, I forgot the origins of the name science Mike.
Speaker 2: Did Mike McConnell give you that that name or how
Speaker 2: did that come about, Mike.
Speaker 5: Because I'm sure it was just through you. I think
Speaker 5: you just it just evolved immediately. I don't I don't
Speaker 5: really recall the exact I know you played that weird
Speaker 5: science intro.
Speaker 2: And well, I mean you, uh, you had been on
Speaker 2: the air before, right before before my show, uh as
Speaker 2: as a sometimes caller, right, uh yeah.
Speaker 5: Maybe a couple of times, but I mean I just
Speaker 5: really started with you mostly. I mean Saturday mornings was
Speaker 5: you know, you and me and then working out doing stuff.
Speaker 2: And listen to the radio.
Speaker 5: So I think I might have called Darryl Parks a
Speaker 5: couple of times about here you go, there.
Speaker 2: You go, all right, well, what have you got for
Speaker 2: us this week? I'm sorry I sidelined you there, but
Speaker 2: that's okay.
Speaker 5: But did you have a chance to listen to the
Speaker 5: brad winstrip with the interview with Brian Thomas on his
Speaker 5: the five hundred some page I report on COVID came
Speaker 5: out before we get into a room.
Speaker 2: No, no, I did not. I did not get to
Speaker 2: hear doctor winstrip on with Brian. But now you've got
Speaker 2: me anxious to listen to the podcast. Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 5: So a couple of times this year we get into
Speaker 5: the topic. We had a couple of solar flares that
Speaker 5: we had the northern light step waight awnt like, and
Speaker 5: they saw them in Hawaii and Florida and things like that.
Speaker 5: And it's sadly I slept through him here yea, you
Speaker 5: know they those were actually weak solar flares and what
Speaker 5: what what they have studied stars similar to our star
Speaker 5: and our our our stars at G type yellow dwarf
Speaker 5: and they what they did They looked at like fifty
Speaker 5: of the fifty five thousand similar stars in the in
Speaker 5: the galaxy and that had the same brightness and similar
Speaker 5: to brightness and temperature as our Sun and try to
Speaker 5: get the same rotational speed because rotation of the Sun
Speaker 5: has a great effect on solar flares. So what they
Speaker 5: found was out of looking at these multitude of stars
Speaker 5: that twenty to see that and nine super flares of
Speaker 5: twosand times dred and twenty seven possible stars. So what
Speaker 5: they what they determined was we thought these flares occurred
Speaker 5: like once every thousand years, these superflares, and actually they
Speaker 5: determined it they happened at more higher rate of like
Speaker 5: once every hundred years.
Speaker 14: And we had that character in.
Speaker 5: Effect super super flare back in eighteen fifty nine, and
Speaker 5: that was only they estimate would be one percent of
Speaker 5: a superflair that would be possible to be occur on
Speaker 5: our Sun, and they anticipated happening, you know, more in
Speaker 5: a frequent time period than what we were thinking of
Speaker 5: every one in a thousand years.
Speaker 2: Not every solar flare.
Speaker 5: The difficulty is not every solar flare has a what
Speaker 5: they call a chronal mass ejection, which is the really
Speaker 5: the part that really disrupts all your your electronics and
Speaker 5: everything like that. So these flares may occur but not
Speaker 5: do that much damage, or if you get them coinciding
Speaker 5: with a mass injection, then obviously you know have a
Speaker 5: one percent of only observing the highest one we've ever had.
Speaker 5: To have something that great hit hit hit here, that
Speaker 5: would be quite a'd be quite devastating.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to say, there is the I've
Speaker 2: always heard the term kill shot from the sun. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and it would have to be a mighty large coronal
Speaker 2: mass ejection, which I don't care who you are.
Speaker 3: That just sounds dirty.
Speaker 8: It doesn't.
Speaker 2: Numbers don't help you. All right, Mike, have a pleasant
Speaker 2: weekend and we'll talk to you next weekend. And Merry
Speaker 2: Christmas early. How about that? You two?
Speaker 3: You got it science Mike on the show on seven hundred.
Speaker 20: W L W les.
Speaker 3: Cad and kind Charen.
Speaker 2: We try to be positive wherever possible on this program.
Speaker 2: In one of the ways in which we do that
Speaker 2: is by bringing the Word of God to a secular
Speaker 2: radio show.
Speaker 3: Oh no, you can't do that, Yeah, I can't, and
Speaker 3: we do.
Speaker 2: And Brother Rick Green from Spiritworks Cincinnati here with today's
Speaker 2: Bible Verse and a little bit of inspiration. Good morning,
Speaker 2: brother Rick, how are you?
Speaker 13: Very Good morning Gary. I'm having an awesome day. I'm
Speaker 13: about to take my daughter, have four year old cousin
Speaker 13: to the show. Then we're going to see the Homeless.
Speaker 13: I'm having an awesome Sarita, and I woke up praying
Speaker 13: for you and your listeners.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you so much.
Speaker 2: We feel it. It's good, just like God, Boston. When
Speaker 2: God is always good, what have you got for us
Speaker 2: this morning, brother Rick.
Speaker 13: Today we got Isaiah, chapter fifteen nine, verse nineteen. It said,
Speaker 13: when the enemy comes in.
Speaker 8: Like a flood, the spirit of the law will left.
Speaker 2: Up a standard against him.
Speaker 13: Ay man, don't pople love that?
Speaker 11: Gary?
Speaker 2: Isaiah is a great book, really is. I mean they're
Speaker 2: all great, But you think about when Isaiah was written
Speaker 2: and all of the things that were correctly prophesied, you
Speaker 2: know in that book. Well you know it's the word
Speaker 2: of God, so you know it's true. Brother, Thank you
Speaker 2: so much. Have a great time with Serenity and her cousin.
Speaker 2: That sounds fun.
Speaker 9: Okay, you guys, have a blessed day, all right, you too.
Speaker 2: Our friend Peter Bronson is joining us. I wanted to
Speaker 2: give him one last chance and give you a last
Speaker 2: chance to get a signed copy of his latest book,
Speaker 2: if it's not too light. It's called Promised Land, How
Speaker 2: the Midwest was Won, And it's about the very beginnings
Speaker 2: of the territorial settlement of this part of the country.
Speaker 2: Uh you know it was it was dominated by Indian tribes,
Speaker 2: obviously the indigenous peoples, and then the white settlers came here.
Speaker 2: And this is the just the incredible story of how
Speaker 2: that all came to be. Peter Bronson, how are you
Speaker 2: my friend?
Speaker 27: Hey, I'm always glad to be with you, Gary, Jeff,
Speaker 27: And that little passage with you and Rick, Well, that's
Speaker 27: almost as good as being the church for present.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's kind of the purpose. So anyway, Pete, Pete,
Speaker 2: here's here's the thing that people should know. They still
Speaker 2: can get a signed copy of your latest book, Promised Land.
Speaker 27: Correct, That's correct, And I would suggest ordering this weekend
Speaker 27: if you can, because we can't rely on the Post
Speaker 27: Office to get it there by Christmas if we get
Speaker 27: too fared the next week.
Speaker 2: I think, honest, I think Wednesday is the drop dead
Speaker 2: day for USPS Ground Service to get anywhere by Christmas.
Speaker 3: So they say you've got to the eighteenth, but really,
Speaker 3: why chance it?
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's pushing it a little bit.
Speaker 19: Now.
Speaker 27: I will be at Josepheth today signing books at one o'clock, okay,
Speaker 27: And so if people want to come in and shop
Speaker 27: for other books and get one in person, I can
Speaker 27: personalize it for them. Also, I'm running a special on
Speaker 27: my site for free shipping, so that helps out a
Speaker 27: little bit with your Christmas shopping.
Speaker 3: And that site once again for people's edification.
Speaker 9: Yes, that is Chili dog Press dot com.
Speaker 2: All right, fantastic, Pete. I wish you great success. It's
Speaker 2: been a fantastic year and you've been a part of it,
Speaker 2: and thank you very much for that. And we still
Speaker 2: have some more work to do, you and I on
Speaker 2: the radio before the year is up. So I'm looking
Speaker 2: forward to seeing you on the on the twenty third. Yeah, Tod, Jerry, Jeff,
Speaker 2: we always have a good time together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's my birthday show too.
Speaker 9: So well, hey, that's going to be wonderful then, all.

Speaker 2: Bronson chilidog press dot com. And where are you signing
Speaker 2: books again, Pete.
Speaker 27: I'll be at josepheth at one o'clock today, all right,
Speaker 27: and I'll be there for a few hours, So come

Speaker 2: hundred WLW, Xavier's play by play of the game on
Speaker 2: fifty five KRC, Joe Sunderman, and Byron Larkin. The Bearcats
Speaker 2: have lost the last five straight to Xavier. Maybe this
Speaker 2: year they get it back. One of the greatest traditions
Speaker 2: in college football continues this afternoon at three o'clock in Landover, Maryland,
Speaker 2: where the Washington Commanders usually play. Eighteenth ranked Army eleven
Speaker 2: and one takes on Navy, who's eight and three this
Speaker 2: year again, don't bet the under what do I know?
Speaker 2: Also a big matchup in the Bluegrass at it's the
Speaker 2: battle with UK and Louisville UK fifth rank. They're in
Speaker 2: Lexington this time and you can hear of that action
Speaker 2: three point thirty on ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 3: A side note.
Speaker 2: At the Army Navy game, President elect Trump will be
Speaker 2: in attendance along with Vice President Electtion Evans. Among their
Speaker 2: guest Pete Hegseeth, who was Trump's pick for a Department
Speaker 2: of Defense Secretary of Defense, and also, Daniel Penney just
Speaker 2: exonerated and acquitted not guilty in New York after a
Speaker 2: trial that never should have happened in many people's minds.
Speaker 2: Gifts from Wally coming up and Moagger to Talk, shootout
Speaker 2: and more coming up on seven hundred WLW Good morning kids.
Speaker 2: Time for gifts from Wally. This is not breakfast conversation.
Speaker 2: A seven year old and his four year old little
Speaker 2: brother upstairs in their bedroom getting ready for the day.
Speaker 2: The seven year old is explaining to his younger brother
Speaker 2: that it's high time the two of them began swearing.
Speaker 2: His little brother is on board. He's so excited. Anything
Speaker 2: big brother wants the four year old is in for. Said,
Speaker 2: so when we go downstairs for breakfast this morning, I'll
Speaker 2: say hell, and you say ass year old happily agrees.
Speaker 2: They're sitting down at the kitchen table. Their mother walks
Speaker 2: in the kitchen and asks the oldest son what he
Speaker 2: would like to eat for breakfast. The seven year old replies, ah, hell, mom,
Speaker 2: I'll just have some cheerios. As soon as it's out
Speaker 2: of his mouth, she lifts him up off of seat,
Speaker 2: smacks him on the bottom, and sends him upstairs crying.
Speaker 2: With a sterner note in her voice. The mother then
Speaker 2: asks the four year old, and what would you like
Speaker 2: for breakfast? Young man? The four year old blovers, I
Speaker 2: don't know, but you can bet your ass it's not
Speaker 2: going to be cheerios. Oh, this is a great Saturday,
Speaker 2: great weekend for sports, even if you're not in Cincinnati
Speaker 2: to talk about it all. Our friend Moe Egger joining
Speaker 2: in on a Saturday morning like usual, Hey, Mo, what's
Speaker 2: going on? Well, that's why I have you on, so
Speaker 2: you can tell me what's going on because I am
Speaker 2: absolutely clueless most of the time, as you well know.
Speaker 2: First of in order of importance, before we get to
Speaker 2: the shootout stuff, MO, why should it matter to anyone
Speaker 2: other than T Higgins? Who t higgins agent is?
Speaker 11: Well, the agent that t Higgins had has never gotten
Speaker 11: a deal done with the Cincinnati Bengals, okay, and represented
Speaker 11: Jesse Bates rather famously exactly never got a deal done.
Speaker 11: So David Mullagedy is his name, and I don't know
Speaker 11: if he and the Bengals had a contentious relationship or
Speaker 11: what the deal was, but for whatever reason, in any
Speaker 11: negotiation with David mullageda and the Bengals the player didn't
Speaker 11: sign in Cincinnati, and so I think there's a sense that,
Speaker 11: well maybe with the change of representation, that there's if
Speaker 11: you're hoping that T is back with the Bengals next season,
Speaker 11: and beyond that a different agent with a better relationship
Speaker 11: with the Bengals, or maybe even with no established relationship
Speaker 11: with the Bengals could get something done. So yeah, I
Speaker 11: actually think as this story has unfolded, you know, if
Speaker 11: you're looking for reasons to believe that Tea is going
Speaker 11: to come back, changing agents from the guy who never
Speaker 11: got a deal done with the Bengals is actually pretty significant.
Speaker 3: How likely is it that T signs with the Bengals again?
Speaker 14: We I'm asked this question.
Speaker 11: Well, I've asked this question nearly everybody that I've had
Speaker 11: on the air this week who covers the team, And
Speaker 11: I'd put it this way. Okay, Monday morning, you know,
Speaker 11: before before the game against Dallas, what would you have
Speaker 11: said the likelihood of Tea coming back?
Speaker 9: Is it?
Speaker 11: Most would say you know, two percent, three percent, And
Speaker 11: I go, okay, now what is it? And they'll say
Speaker 11: fifty percent. Look, some things have changed, Number one, most
Speaker 11: notably the very public thoughts of Joe Burrow, Joe wants
Speaker 11: him back, Joe has sway. I also think there was
Speaker 11: the insinuation, I'll put it on Monday Night, that Joe
Speaker 11: is perhaps open to restructuring his contract. That's not something
Speaker 11: that we had really talked about during the course of
Speaker 11: this entire ordeal. I think there's also perhaps this T
Speaker 11: Higgins is a number two wide receiver. Now, that's fine,
Speaker 11: that's good. Some of the best and most productive and
Speaker 11: popular players in this franchise's history. I think you would
Speaker 11: categorize as a number two wide receiver. But they've got
Speaker 11: a number one. His name is Jamar Chase. He's the
Speaker 11: best wide receiver in the NFL. And so what I
Speaker 11: can't help but wonder is, excuse me if there's been
Speaker 11: some recalibration of Tea's value from T where he goes. Okay,
Speaker 11: maybe I'm not going to be able to hit the
Speaker 11: open market and get one of those top end wide
Speaker 11: receiver contracts because I'm not one of the absolute top
Speaker 11: end wide receivers. He's I think fifty fourth in the
Speaker 11: NFL this season in receptions, forty fourth in yards. Those
Speaker 11: aren't numbers disknees that, but I think a year ago
Speaker 11: or two years ago, there was this thought that the
Speaker 11: tea hits free agency, he's gonna just field, you know,
Speaker 11: a ton of offers, take the highest one, and be
Speaker 11: one of the highest paid wide receivers in the sport.
Speaker 11: I think maybe the realization is setting in that perhaps
Speaker 11: that's not the case, which maybe puts the Bengals back
Speaker 11: in play.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and playing alongside Jamar Chase, there are always
Speaker 2: opportunities for a T. Higgins on the field. How many
Speaker 2: opportunities do we have for the Bengals to pick up
Speaker 2: their sixth win of the year tomorrow in Nashville. I
Speaker 2: think this is the worst team they've played, even worse
Speaker 2: than the Patriots.
Speaker 11: Worse than the Patriots who beat them, So, you know,
Speaker 11: be careful, right, But.
Speaker 20: For all of their sues this.
Speaker 11: Season defensively, and there are many, for all of their
Speaker 11: issues protecting Joe Burrow, and they become more pressing by
Speaker 11: the week, it's kind of hard for me to imagine
Speaker 11: that Will Levis is going to be able to carve
Speaker 11: up the Cincinnati defense the way that some of the
Speaker 11: other teams have. But I mean, here's what I'm looking
Speaker 11: up for tomorrow. Joe Burrow is on the injury report
Speaker 11: this week. He's been on the injury report all year
Speaker 11: long because of the wrist, but added to it this
Speaker 11: week was a knee issue because you know, he bet
Speaker 11: a knee brace on after the game against the Cowboys,
Speaker 11: took a lot of hits. He's taking a ton of
Speaker 11: hits recently, and so you know, that's sort of the
Speaker 11: equalizer there if Joe is hobbled or compromised or just
Speaker 11: not physically himself. But this is not a very good
Speaker 11: Tennessee team. They have almost no firepower to speak of whatsoever.
Speaker 11: And so the Bengals should win the game tomorrow, But
Speaker 11: there have been other games this season we're going in,
Speaker 11: I felt like they should win.
Speaker 2: Well. As far as Joe Burrow's knee, and only the
Speaker 2: medical staff and Joe Burrow know exactly how you know,
Speaker 2: ambulatory he was on that, but I saw after they
Speaker 2: put the sleeve on in the Dallas game, you know,
Speaker 2: he was wheeling around like there was nothing wrong with
Speaker 2: his knee. Maybe that's adrenaline or whatever carrying him through
Speaker 2: in that moment. But I think he'll be okay. And
Speaker 2: by the way, Will Levis, I've seen Will Levis miss
Speaker 2: wide open receivers in Titans practices with nobody guarding them. Seriously,
Speaker 2: it's just not a completed project yet. As far as
Speaker 2: an NFL quarterback in my old hometown, I never became
Speaker 2: a Titans fan because there wasn't a team there when
Speaker 2: I lived there in nineteen ninety three. So I have
Speaker 2: some friends that are there. My parents will follow the games,
Speaker 2: but I'm Bengals all the way on this one. Let's
Speaker 2: let's move to the Army Navy game real quickly. The
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty fifth meeting of these two service academies.
Speaker 2: Army is eighteenth in the country and eleven and one. Boy,
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's a good thing that you see
Speaker 2: moved to the big twelve so they didn't have to
Speaker 2: face Army in the act because they would have gotten
Speaker 2: whacked by the Cadets if they'd had to play each
Speaker 2: other in a conference football And this particular Army team
Speaker 2: and Navy's no slouch either at eight and three. This
Speaker 2: is unusual for the two service academies to come in
Speaker 2: with this higher profile, isn't it mo?
Speaker 11: It is it is And if you watch both teams,
Speaker 11: you know you think of Army Navy it's run the football,
Speaker 11: run the football, triple option, no baby and boot. Yeah,
Speaker 11: both teams have sort of modernized their offense. If if
Speaker 11: your audience wants to or if you want to read
Speaker 11: something really, really good, this is legitimately maybe the best
Speaker 11: piece of sports writing I've read all year long. There's
Speaker 11: a piece on ESPN dot Com. Went up on Thursday,
Speaker 11: so it's I'm sure it's it's still displayed pretty prominently. Yeah,
Speaker 11: and it's a very in depth look at basically a
Speaker 11: day in the life or a week in the life
Speaker 11: of a football player at both academies. It is awesome,
Speaker 11: Like we all know, you know, those kids aren't are incredible,
Speaker 11: Like we know that, but I don't think most of
Speaker 11: us know, like on a daily basis, these are the
Speaker 11: football players now, you know, so you know, the normal
Speaker 11: student life at the Naval Academy or at West Point,
Speaker 11: it's pretty rigorous, pretty demanding, pretty regimented at football to it.
Speaker 11: It's on ESPN dot com. It's tremendous, and I think
Speaker 11: we all have a ton of respects for those kids already.
Speaker 11: You'll have even more after you read it.
Speaker 2: But and it's amazing that they can assemble this kind
Speaker 2: of these kind of programs with all of that added
Speaker 2: on to it, and they got the transfer portal and
Speaker 2: the ni L and everything else that is a part
Speaker 2: of college football now. And UH to commit to serve
Speaker 2: your country and to have that commitment after you play, UH,
Speaker 2: I mean, it takes a really special kind of person.
Speaker 3: There's no question.
Speaker 11: Oh man, it's it's it's awe inspiring. And you know,
Speaker 11: those kids are not permitted to have an il opportunity,
Speaker 11: and that's referenced in the piece. And and those you know,
Speaker 11: the players who are quoted will say like, look, I'm
Speaker 11: glad the kids at other college football programs have a
Speaker 11: chance to get paid, but I'm more than okay with
Speaker 11: where I am right now and not having a chance
Speaker 11: to pursue those opportunities.
Speaker 2: I've made my decision to serve my country and I
Speaker 2: get to play football too.
Speaker 3: Bonus win one.
Speaker 11: That's awesome.
Speaker 3: All right, Let's let's go down to the action at UH.
Speaker 2: At you see today, Mo, it's UH the continuance of
Speaker 2: the Crosstown shootout rivalry between u SE and Xavier. Our
Speaker 2: action our coverage begins at one thirty. The tip is
Speaker 2: it to the doors will be open at noon and
Speaker 2: Xavier's coverage play by play with Joe and Barry or
Speaker 2: a Byron will be on.
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC same same time. You have been too
Speaker 3: many of these.
Speaker 2: Give me your favorite Crosstown shootout moment, ever, you've got
Speaker 2: a narrow it down. Narrow it down to one moment.
Speaker 11: H you know, weirdly, it's not so much a moment,
Speaker 11: but the first ever Skyline Chilli crossdown shootout at the
Speaker 11: Sinta Center. The Musketeers had David West, had a good team,
Speaker 11: They had beaten Cincinnati the previous two years, and yet
Speaker 11: there was a sense that a beating is coming. And
Speaker 11: you know, it was a bear Cat team, you know,
Speaker 11: two years removed from Kenyan Martin. A lot of folks
Speaker 11: they didn't know how good the team was going to be.
Speaker 11: And Cincinnati went there and won by twenty points. Now,
Speaker 11: as a Bearcat fan, I loved it, but it jump
Speaker 11: started that team season. That team ended up being a
Speaker 11: number one seed in the NCAA Tournament. Steve Logan was
Speaker 11: unbelievable that night, but it remains the most recent Bearcats
Speaker 11: win at the Cintas Center. So they you know, whenever
Speaker 11: we talk about you see at the Cintas Center. It's always, well, God,
Speaker 11: why don't they win all the different ways that they
Speaker 11: have lost to the Musketeers, But they won the first
Speaker 11: one and it was awesome, So it's not so much
Speaker 11: a moment. But I remember the game, and I remember
Speaker 11: the atmosphere, and I remember the narrative going in and
Speaker 11: then for the Bearcats to go there and win, and frankly,
Speaker 11: it's probably the last time. So this is December eighth,
Speaker 11: two thousand and one, probably the last time that you
Speaker 11: see won the game as an underdog. Typically when Xavier
Speaker 11: is supposed to win, they and oftentimes when the Bearcats
Speaker 11: are supposed to win, Xavier still does. So we'll see
Speaker 11: if that happens today.
Speaker 2: They haven't once since twenty eighteen, you see. And I
Speaker 2: gotta tell you, I have a personal grudge that may
Speaker 2: last a lifetime. And I'm not a person that I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm a person that forgives because it's just part of
Speaker 2: my part of my makeup. And I have a problem
Speaker 2: with Sean Miller and it has nothing has has nothing
Speaker 2: to do with his coaching or any of the controversy
Speaker 2: that has surrounded him and the allegations, and it goes
Speaker 2: back to when Sean Miller was a player. I forget exactly,
Speaker 2: I forget exactly what year it was, but my beloved
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt Commodorees were very good. I think Eddie Fogler was
Speaker 2: the head coach at the time. Billy McCaffrey was the
Speaker 2: star guard. It was All SEC, second team, All American,
Speaker 2: and they got to I believe this was the year
Speaker 2: they got to the round of sixteen, the sweet sixteen
Speaker 2: in the NCAA tournament, and they had to play Pitt.
Speaker 2: Playing for Pitt was a punky little point guard named
Speaker 2: Sean Miller, and Sean Miller literally shot my Vandy Commodores
Speaker 2: right out of the big games. And I have never
Speaker 2: forgiven him to this date. What problems do you have
Speaker 2: with Sean.
Speaker 11: Miller beyond the fact that his team has often beaten mine?
Speaker 11: I don't have any, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Personal vendetta for me. It's as you see, it's very deep.
Speaker 2: It's been going on a long long time, more than
Speaker 2: thirty years, and it has to do with not his coaching,
Speaker 2: but his playing and him shooting my team out of
Speaker 2: the tournament. So you under.
Speaker 11: From one thousand percent. I remember Seawan as a player
Speaker 11: I remember his mullet, and I've brought that up to him.
Speaker 11: My My biggest is with Sean Miller is he has
Speaker 11: invited me on his podcast but he has never like
Speaker 11: solidified the invitation, never given me a date. Uh, And
Speaker 11: so I'm I'm I'm waiting for it. Perhaps after the
Speaker 11: game or maybe at the game today, he'll he'll see
Speaker 11: me and uh and say, hey, let's let's get this done. No,
Speaker 11: I uh now as again as a UC fan, maybe
Speaker 11: for two hours today. I'll have an issue with Sean Miller,
Speaker 11: but he is a terrific coach. He's I think it's
Speaker 11: really cool that he came back to behavior. I think
Speaker 11: he still has a chance this season. They have a
Speaker 11: very good team. And uh, he comes on my show
Speaker 11: and even though I'm I root for the other squad
Speaker 11: in town, is always very very giving with his time
Speaker 11: and insightful and so I uh I I personally really
Speaker 11: really like Shawn Miller. I hate to say, but he
Speaker 11: he never is a player destroyed my team. So I
Speaker 11: understand your perspective.
Speaker 2: You know, I love the pluck of a Billy McCaffrey
Speaker 2: and I love the flop mop of Scott Droud. Can't
Speaker 2: stand the molded of Sean Miller and who do you think?
Speaker 2: Who do you think has the edge today?
Speaker 19: Mo?
Speaker 2: And I know you're obviously with the UC broadcast team,
Speaker 2: you'll be there. Pretty good chance the bear Cats break
Speaker 2: this streak today, isn't it?
Speaker 11: Yeah? Eight and a half point favorites at least to start.
Speaker 11: I think if you've watched the two teams objectively, I
Speaker 11: think the Bearcats have looked like the better team now.
Speaker 11: I certainly think there are unknowns because you know, how
Speaker 11: tested have they been in the games that they have
Speaker 11: won in a one game that they lost was probably
Speaker 11: against the best opponent that they have played. I think
Speaker 11: there's three things about this game I'm gonna be looking
Speaker 11: forward today. Number One, Dan Skillings for UC came back,
Speaker 11: hadn't played since the first game of the season, came
Speaker 11: back last Sunday and played about twelve thirteen minutes and
Speaker 11: from a productivity standpoint, really didn't do anything, but he
Speaker 11: looked physically fine. Well, he's going to do more than
Speaker 11: look physically fine today because he's probably the one Bearcat
Speaker 11: who can do the most amount of things. He can
Speaker 11: help them on the glass, he can score, but also
Speaker 11: last year he played very poorly against the Musketeers. And
Speaker 11: so what version of Dan Skillings do the Bearcats get today?
Speaker 11: I think when Zager has struggled in games against Michigan
Speaker 11: and even South Carolina State and TCU, they had a
Speaker 11: hard time turning.
Speaker 2: Over the balligan. Mrgar we will see you on the radio.
Speaker 2: I'm running out of time, Dave. All right, all right, brother,
Speaker 2: have a great game and enjoy yourself. Counselor what's going on?
Speaker 28: I'm pretty good man. How about you tell me about
Speaker 28: the show real quick? Okay, got Ken Cober FOP president
Speaker 28: coming on to talk about a horrible idea of getting
Speaker 28: rid of qualified immunity for cops.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about that.
Speaker 28: Peter Bronson's going to come in in studio and talk
Speaker 28: about his new book, and finally Kevin Burton at eleven
Speaker 28: thirty political consult and going to talk about how everything's
Speaker 28: shaken out for Trump.
Speaker 2: That sets you up for Saturday midday after the show
Speaker 2: show at Huddles, we will have the Army Navy game on.
Speaker 3: My dad's a
Speaker 2: Navy alums, so I've got to go with the Midshipman
Speaker 2: today eight fifty six seven hundred WLW
