Speaker 1: What is this Saturday morning on Thursday.
Speaker 2: Believe me, if you're confused, you have no idea how
Speaker 2: I feel.
Speaker 1: Gary Jeff Walker in for Scott Sloan. So I get
Speaker 1: to call.
Speaker 2: At about nine oh four, just as the nine o'clock
Speaker 2: news is finishing from our boss, Scott Reinhardt, program Director.
Speaker 2: I said, and I saw his name pop up on
Speaker 2: my phone, and I'm going, oh, what's he want? This
Speaker 2: could finally be the day when they say, Gary Jeff,
Speaker 2: you don't need to come in anymore. But no, instead
Speaker 2: of that, it was do you know you're on for
Speaker 2: Sloan this morning? And obviously I'm sitting in my skivbies
Speaker 2: in my front room, haven't even had my first cup
Speaker 2: of coffee. I slept in this morning, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: uh no, oh, sure enough. Look back at the schedule
Speaker 2: that Dave Armberister printed out two months ago. There it
Speaker 2: is October twenty fourth, nine am to noon. Guess whose
Speaker 2: name is beside the time it would have been mine.
Speaker 2: So I guess without any kind of preparation whatsoever, I
Speaker 2: wanted to ask you, what's one of the most embarrassing
Speaker 2: things that ever happened to you at work? I have
Speaker 2: another example, it must have been nineteen eighty seven eighty eight,
Speaker 2: so we're going back a little ways. Obviously, we had
Speaker 2: these radio junkets to Walt Disney World where Disney would
Speaker 2: open up a new attraction or they opened up a
Speaker 2: new hotel. We were there for the opening of the
Speaker 2: MGM gram Studio part of the park, which isn't there anymore.
Speaker 2: We were there for the debut of the movie Dick Tracy,
Speaker 2: you know that classic with Warren Beatty and Madonna. Anyway,
Speaker 2: on this one particular occasion, we're staying at the contemporary
Speaker 2: resort with the monorail running through it and iconic building
Speaker 2: there at Walt Disney World in Florida. We're doing radio
Speaker 2: broadcasts in the afternoon, but during the day we get
Speaker 2: to have our run of the park. And you know,
Speaker 2: it's a free trip to Disney. That's why I can't
Speaker 2: go to Walt Disney World, not that I want to.
Speaker 2: I don't have kids. There's no over writing desire to
Speaker 2: go back to the most wonderful place on earth because
Speaker 2: it's number one, not and number two. I've been there free,
Speaker 2: like four or five times. I'm spoiled. But walking down
Speaker 2: to breakfast, it's about this time of the morning, kind
Speaker 2: of a late oh, lay in bed in the nice
Speaker 2: luxury hotel room, get up to eat free breakfast.
Speaker 1: It was a character breakfast.
Speaker 2: You know, the character breakfast where you know snow Whites there,
Speaker 2: Chip and Dale are there. All the characters are there
Speaker 2: unless they're in a hallway off to the side with
Speaker 2: their costume head off, smoking a cigarette. And I'm on
Speaker 2: my way to the contemporary resort's breakfast buffet, and I'm
Speaker 2: walking in the hall and here is actually a couple
Speaker 2: of people, and I believe one of the people on
Speaker 2: that particular trip was I mentioned program director Scott Reinhardt.
Speaker 2: His dad and mom were on that trip. And I'm walking.
Speaker 2: I just had shorts on, no underwear. Just as we
Speaker 2: get to the character breakfast, another one of our caravan
Speaker 2: and there was there for the radio station decides to
Speaker 2: pants me. Just as we get to where all the
Speaker 2: families and the kids and the characters are boom, and
Speaker 2: I am dangling out there, literally dangling out there with
Speaker 2: nothing to do but smile, excuse myself and pull my
Speaker 2: pants back up, naked from the waist down. That kind
Speaker 2: of stuff. That's embarrassment at work, being a half an
Speaker 2: hour late. But as I mentioned to to Scott, at
Speaker 2: least I can't charge you for show prep because I
Speaker 2: obviously didn't do any So the most embarrassing experience you've
Speaker 2: ever had at work that you could tell on the radio?
Speaker 2: Curious to hear your story in this half hour five three, seven, four, nine,
Speaker 2: eight hundred the big one, And this is me with
Speaker 2: my pants down dangling in your face. I'm terribly sorry,
Speaker 2: all right, Gary Jafen, for slowing seven utter WLW in
Speaker 2: the topic for the moment most embarrassing things that have
Speaker 2: ever happened to you while you were at work. I'm
Speaker 2: experiencing one right now. Dave from Dayton, good morning. You're
Speaker 2: on seven out of WLW. You got an embarrassing work story?
Speaker 3: Yeah, good morning, my friend, Gary jaff Nice to hear
Speaker 3: you in for slowey well, good and.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: Back my younger days, I was working two jobs and
Speaker 3: to try to pay the bills, and took a job
Speaker 3: as a server at a nice steakhouse up in Columbus.
Speaker 3: And while I was unloading mugs with a picture of beer,
Speaker 3: I didn't take in an account the weight distribution of
Speaker 3: my tray, and the whole picture went crashing on the
Speaker 3: table all over the guests, and I just couldn't believe
Speaker 3: I did that. I didn't apologize enough. I didn't last
Speaker 3: too much longer the server. It was not my not
Speaker 3: my thing.
Speaker 1: Not your forte especially huh.
Speaker 3: No no, yeah, dump dumping a whole picture of beer,
Speaker 3: you know, on a table and just trying to you know,
Speaker 3: just that. Yeah, that one is my all time. But
Speaker 3: I've also in my recent job in medical sales, I passed.
Speaker 3: I go into surgery sometimes, but my one of my
Speaker 3: first surgeries I passed out and had to be helped
Speaker 3: out of the room. But that's uh, that's another one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the first time I ever gave blood,
Speaker 2: I passed out the second the blood started coming out
Speaker 2: of my own So I can understand if you're passing
Speaker 2: out in the middle of a surgery. It's not pretty
Speaker 2: to see. And it is my time as a bartender,
Speaker 2: almost fifteen years now, I have knocked over numerous glasses
Speaker 2: and bottles, and you're right there in front of everybody.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's nothing you can do except apologize or
Speaker 2: hopefully not get it on your customer. As you were describing,
Speaker 2: it's yeah, that's again, that's one of those dangling in
Speaker 2: front of everybody to see moments.
Speaker 3: And you had a drink. A drink is one thing.
Speaker 3: A drink is one thing, But an entire picture of
Speaker 3: beer that is pouring on four people sitting in a booth, that's, yeah,
Speaker 3: well a little too much.
Speaker 2: A drip is one thing. Having the whole Spicott on
Speaker 2: display is quite another. Thank you so much day from Dayton,
Speaker 2: oh man. And that has happened over and over and
Speaker 2: over again. And our business. When you're late, your boss
Speaker 2: just is instant the only one who knows you're late.
Speaker 2: Your coworkers aren't the only one who knows you're late.
Speaker 2: Whoever may be listening to the radio knows you're late.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: They didn't set me up for that. They didn't say, well, Gary,
Speaker 2: Joe's supposed to be here, but he's late. I don't
Speaker 2: think they did. But I wasn't listening because I wasn't
Speaker 2: planning on working this morning. There are a lot of things.
Speaker 2: I mean, the first thing I see when I walk
Speaker 2: in somebody, I guess McConnell or whoever was in here
Speaker 2: last left Fox nineteen on. And I look up and
Speaker 2: I see the little underheadline of a story two women
Speaker 2: talking together is combating dead butt syndrome, whatever that was.
Speaker 2: And if there's dead butt syndrome and it can be
Speaker 2: fixed or cured or combatd there's probably some medication involved.
Speaker 2: I didn't see the story because you know, viagra came
Speaker 2: about accidentally. It was a blood pressure medication where they're
Speaker 2: using it for blood pressure, and they found out it
Speaker 2: had other you know, I guess positive side effects anyway.
Speaker 2: Embarrassing work stories five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand.
Speaker 2: It's a beautifully clear, cold morning too, So that was
Speaker 2: that that aided in me waking up on my way
Speaker 2: up seventy one this morning, and just as I get
Speaker 2: onto four seventy one. I live in Southgate, I get
Speaker 2: up to the interstate and I'm already in a panic mode.
Speaker 2: Holy crap, I got to get there and now, and
Speaker 2: there's a car accident, which thankfully was only an exit away,
Speaker 2: and I got around it. Bob in Springboro, have you
Speaker 2: got an embarrassing work store.
Speaker 1: You'd like to share?
Speaker 4: It was some time ago, but it was embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 4: My first real job was at Frish's Big Boy, and
Speaker 4: I was breading chicken. That was my job at the moment,
Speaker 4: and the shift manager walked by, grabbed a very little
Speaker 4: bit of flour, just a teensy bit, and he shot
Speaker 4: it into the air toward me and said, poof, you're
Speaker 4: a chicken. And I thought, oh, that was that was cute,
Speaker 4: that was clever. Well, two weeks later, if you're a chicken,
Speaker 4: that's just what he said. It was, it was what
Speaker 4: it was. Two weeks later, I have a different shift manager,
Speaker 4: and unfortunately he decided to dress in all black, black slack,
Speaker 4: black shirt, black tie. And he walks by and I'm
Speaker 4: breading chicken. Well, my fingers, my hands were coated. What
Speaker 4: like can happen? Right? Flour and milk and eggs and.
Speaker 2: Dude, I worked. I worked in a Smorgasborg kitchen. Among
Speaker 2: the items that we carried on the buffet line was
Speaker 2: fried chicken. I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 4: And I'm not an experienced poof you're a chicken person,
Speaker 4: but I thought that.
Speaker 1: It was funny ex chicken person.
Speaker 4: Maybe that other manager was, I don't know, but he
Speaker 4: was much better at it than I was. Because I
Speaker 4: decided that I was going to do the poof you're
Speaker 4: a chicken on this manager. So I grabbed some flour,
Speaker 4: picked it up, imitating that other ship manager, or so
Speaker 4: I thought. And when I took the flour and said, poof,
Speaker 4: you're a chicken. It was exactly at that moment I
Speaker 4: realized I had grabbed way too much flower, and I
Speaker 4: shot it onto this manager and evidently this is not
Speaker 4: a fricious thing, because he had no idea what was coming.
Speaker 4: And he looked at me, and when he opened his eyes,
Speaker 4: that was really about the only thing that wasn't white
Speaker 4: on his entire face and shoulders. Oh man, and he
Speaker 4: didn't he just looked at me and I when I
Speaker 4: shot it, I just said, pooh, would you believe poof,
Speaker 4: you're a chicken. And he looked at me, not understanding
Speaker 4: any of this, and just said I'll be back, and
Speaker 4: he left. And he came back about five minutes later,
Speaker 4: doing the best he could with what I had done
Speaker 4: to him, and said, just simply, I believe in giving
Speaker 4: people a second chance.
Speaker 1: God bless him.
Speaker 4: And I and I think I worked there through summer
Speaker 4: and winter breaks for the next three years.
Speaker 2: So you know, oh, that wasn't the end of your
Speaker 2: frish's career then, because that would be that would be
Speaker 2: a that would be a career ender for a lot
Speaker 2: of people in a lot of situations like that.
Speaker 4: Bob, Well, that was one of the best Chicken brothers
Speaker 4: there was. Well, well think he I think he took
Speaker 4: that into play poof.
Speaker 1: That was a good story. Thanks Tim on a cell.
Speaker 1: Are you there, Tim, I'm here? Yeah, what's going on?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 6: I used to sell bath this year toilet paper and
Speaker 6: I went into a customer and the customer.
Speaker 4: Wasn't ready for me.
Speaker 6: So I decided to use the facility, which meant that
Speaker 6: I had to walk through the office staff, back to
Speaker 6: the restroom, did what I needed to do, walk back out,
Speaker 6: walk through the lobby, got into my appointment, sat down,
Speaker 6: got a truckload to toilet paper, walked out. I come
Speaker 6: walking out and my wife happened to be with you
Speaker 6: in this business trickments. She looked at me and I
Speaker 6: had twenty five feet of toilet paper behind me.
Speaker 4: Oh that was embarrassing.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, anytime you got the toilet paper stuck
Speaker 2: on the shoe or whatever. I know somebody who purposely
Speaker 2: came out of uh came came out of a locker
Speaker 2: room for a seftball game and purposely had toilet paper
Speaker 2: stringing behind him as he ran out into the field.
Speaker 2: It was just unrolling uh as he as he did that.
Speaker 2: Thanks Tim for the story. Keagan in Bellevue, you got
Speaker 2: an embarrassing works story.
Speaker 5: Uh, yeah, I actually have.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 7: I have two uh and this is way back in
Speaker 7: the day. For the longest time my adult career, I've
Speaker 7: worked in restaurants.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 7: And this is my first job at the Macaroni Grill.
Speaker 7: And both of these stories occurred back to back, two
Speaker 7: days in a row. The first one, h, I you know,
Speaker 7: I had this table. It was a four top. It
Speaker 7: was a mom and dad their little girl, and then
Speaker 7: they were having her friend over for like a sleepover,
Speaker 7: and they were taking them out to dinner. And so
Speaker 7: I'm running their food and I was really busy, and
Speaker 7: the plates had just come out of one of those
Speaker 7: things where they came out of dishwashers, still kind of wet,
Speaker 7: but you put food on and whatever.
Speaker 4: And you run it.
Speaker 7: And so the bottom of this plate was really slippery.
Speaker 7: So I go to serve the food, and I serve
Speaker 7: everybody's and then get to the little girl who was
Speaker 7: a guest and drop her spaghetti and meatballs right in
Speaker 7: her lap, and I'll never forget her face of just
Speaker 7: sheer horror, started to cry, you know, ruined her evening.
Speaker 7: She was in this little dress and it was covering
Speaker 7: spaghetti sauce. I couldn't have felt more like a just
Speaker 7: a total idiot. The very next day, I'm still trying
Speaker 7: to shake this off. I was working a lunch shift
Speaker 7: and one of our managers was off but brought his
Speaker 7: family in to eat.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 7: Ten it could have been like ten to twelve people
Speaker 7: and his it wasn't even my table. His appetizers of
Speaker 7: tomato brisketto which I'll never forget that.
Speaker 4: Either.
Speaker 7: We're up in the window and I say, hey, I'll
Speaker 7: run it. I want to say I to him. So
Speaker 7: I get to the table and I go to h
Speaker 7: I go to deliver it to him and I.
Speaker 5: Say hey, Tony.
Speaker 4: And as I'm saying that.
Speaker 7: I was moving a little too quickly and I stopped
Speaker 7: and all of the bruskette slid off, slid off the
Speaker 7: plate and onto his lap. Very nice, and yeah, I
Speaker 7: just you know I planned. It wasn't the end of
Speaker 7: my career there, but you know it was.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 7: I'll never forget those two days in Row. I stop
Speaker 7: running people's food after that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would that would be a good good sign
Speaker 2: maybe that you either need to slow down or stop
Speaker 2: doing that. Keig and thank you very much. Yeah, nothing
Speaker 2: gives the gift the continuing gift, like pasta sauce on
Speaker 2: your clothes. Not to play, used to be in a
Speaker 2: hurry necessarily an Italian restaurant. I will say that the
Speaker 2: two and a half three years I worked at a
Speaker 2: restaurant as a teenager, we're probably and I was telling
Speaker 2: my wife Chris to two point oh this the other night,
Speaker 2: just reminiscing about it. We're probably the most important years
Speaker 2: that I could have spent learning how to deal with people,
Speaker 2: learning how to deal with the public directly, and it
Speaker 2: is paid off to this day. One minute left, Dan
Speaker 2: and Batavia. You got a quick embarrassing work story for us.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I was selling cars way back in the day and
Speaker 9: I was taking this guy on a test ride, but
Speaker 9: to need a gas and we had to wait for
Speaker 9: a lot tech and I kept waiting waiting. This guy
Speaker 9: is getting impatient. I thought, well, heck, I know had
Speaker 9: a pump gas. So I go and go to fill
Speaker 9: this tank out. He and I go over and the
Speaker 9: lever was clicked on and I nailed that guy right
Speaker 9: in the back of the neck with geez oh. I
Speaker 9: mean I just started there two like three weeks, you know.
Speaker 9: I was like, oh my god, so I can hold
Speaker 9: on sirtain. I'm running around, I go into service trying
Speaker 9: to find towels. I see him pulling off and leaving the.
Speaker 2: Question, Yeah, that was my question. You didn't make the sale,
Speaker 2: did you, Dan?
Speaker 4: No, I didn't.
Speaker 2: I was kind to make sure, no matter what happened,
Speaker 2: you make the sale. Always be closing, as uh.
Speaker 1: Is in the movie Glenn.
Speaker 9: Ross, I should have got my car and following and
Speaker 9: said hold on, hold on, oh it was.
Speaker 1: It was amazing that.
Speaker 2: That would have made things incrementally worse. Thanks for the story, man,
Speaker 2: good luck. All right, so we've gotten that out of
Speaker 2: the way, and we'll see what happens after ten o'clock
Speaker 2: because I'm not quite sure. Gary Jeffin for Sloany News
Speaker 2: Now on seven hundred WLW, who was doing to be
Speaker 2: an am all right, trying to work out our situation
Speaker 2: here with a late talk show host and phones that
Speaker 2: aren't cooperating at the moment. Anyway, they worked fine during
Speaker 2: that last segment. Did you notice that?
Speaker 1: So I noticed.
Speaker 2: During the news and this has been the latest news
Speaker 2: cycle twenty four to seven news cycle occurrence is that
Speaker 2: now Trump is Hitler and Stalin and Mussolini all combined,
Speaker 2: according to this writer at The Atlantic, and all these
Speaker 2: stories from former staff members John Kelly was the chief
Speaker 2: of staff in Trump's first administration, saying that Hitler did
Speaker 2: some good things and he needed generals like Hitler had,
Speaker 2: and all of the like, this is the October surprise.
Speaker 2: Even as President Trump is moving ahead of Kamala Harris
Speaker 2: in the polls, this is what the Democrat Party is
Speaker 2: going with. But you'll notice Trump's a fascist. Trump's Hitler,
Speaker 2: over and over and over again. We've been hearing this now.
Speaker 2: We were hearing this when he was in office from
Speaker 2: the unhinged far left, and we heard it. This is
Speaker 2: not a new story. This is not a new narrative.
Speaker 2: But it's an act of desperation by Democrats to now
Speaker 2: make this their campaign slogan. We don't have any real
Speaker 2: plans are going to help anybody. We've got somebody who
Speaker 2: is a full on anti Christian, anti Catholic candidate. We've
Speaker 2: got somebody who has never really accomplished anything. She claims
Speaker 2: to have been a very very effective prosecutor. Apparently that
Speaker 2: didn't work, and the economic plan is melted down into
Speaker 2: a word salad of opportunity economy, and nobody knows what
Speaker 2: the hell that is. I know it's an eighty two
Speaker 2: page plan, but it's mostly a bunch of empty promises
Speaker 2: and giveaways trying to buy votes. So now Trump is Hitler.
Speaker 2: That's what they're going with. It's quite amazing. I don't
Speaker 2: think it's going to work because we had four years
Speaker 2: of President Trump in office and he didn't let's see,
Speaker 2: he didn't take anybody's guns. The economy was in great
Speaker 2: shape pre COVID, and inflation was down, all these other
Speaker 2: little things that you can pick apart. We know what
Speaker 2: a President Trump presidency a second term would be, like,
Speaker 2: we understand that. And now he's hitler again. And the
Speaker 2: more you hear that repeated on the news, the more
Speaker 2: you can just kind of like, Okay, where's the proof
Speaker 2: outside of I mean, what someone said in his staff
Speaker 2: in his general area. There were plenty of staffers who
Speaker 2: had a lot to say about Lyndon Bates Johnson, for example,
Speaker 2: about black people in the oval office. It's been well
Speaker 2: documented in books on more than one occasion, and yet
Speaker 2: Lyndon Bains Johnson has looked as the great champion of
Speaker 2: civil rights signed a voting act, the Great Society Generational Welfare.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump did not do anything that that was damaging
Speaker 2: to the country. He did a lot of things that
Speaker 2: were damaging to the establishment and the swamp. And that's
Speaker 2: what they're afraid of again, dictator on day one. Yeah, whatever,
Speaker 2: you can take all the words out of context you want.
Speaker 2: Trump is not Hitler or Stalin or Mussolini. We weren't
Speaker 2: rolled over by tanks in twenty seventeen when Donald Trump
Speaker 2: took office, and he did not go after his political
Speaker 2: enemies like the Biden Harris regime has time and their
Speaker 2: doj has time and time. Again, I wanted to since we're,
Speaker 2: you know, less than two weeks from the election, I
Speaker 2: wanted to get a look at the Kentucky side of
Speaker 2: the Ledger just a moment. We have Chaplain Lee Watts.
Speaker 2: He is the chaplain of the Kentucky State Capitol in Frankfort, Kentucky,
Speaker 2: and there are a couple of really big issues on
Speaker 2: the ballot in Kentucky this time around, Lee, just to
Speaker 2: get some clarity on these issues, because there's no real
Speaker 2: there's no real voting that's going to affect the balance
Speaker 2: of power in the legislature necessarily this time around, and
Speaker 2: the governor's race is still you know, a ways off
Speaker 2: in an election away. But tell me about issues one
Speaker 2: and two on the ballot in Kentucky, because people need
Speaker 2: to not just vote for the president, they need to
Speaker 2: vote all the way down the line. Lee, good morning,
Speaker 2: and thank you for coming on with us.
Speaker 5: Thank you Gary, Jeff. It's always a joy to be
Speaker 5: on your program. Yes, every Kentucky will have two ballot
Speaker 5: measures amendments on your ballot. Now, keep in mind these
Speaker 5: might be on the backside, so if you vote straight ticket, you.
Speaker 1: Did not vote at all.
Speaker 5: So I don't encourage straight ticket voting. Make each individual
Speaker 5: selection flip that ballot over and vote on these ballot measures.
Speaker 5: Amendment one has to do with saying Currently in Kentucky law,
Speaker 5: it says you must be a citizen in order to vote. However,
Speaker 5: it does not say who is is not allowed to vote,
Speaker 5: and so those who would want to have illegals voting
Speaker 5: in our elections can use this as a loophole. Therefore,
Speaker 5: Amendment one closes that loophole. It says you must be
Speaker 5: a citizen to vote, and if you're not a citizen,
Speaker 5: you may not vote. So it's closing that loophole, only
Speaker 5: allowing citizens to vote nobody else. It's a very good amendment.
Speaker 5: It's a shame we need that nowadays. The founding fathers
Speaker 5: thought we had common sense, but that I guess that
Speaker 5: left a few years ago.
Speaker 2: Well, and it's important. It's importantly because other states and
Speaker 2: other governors who understand that you have to be a
Speaker 2: citizen to vote in elections, like Glenn Youngkin in Virginia
Speaker 2: has been sued by the Biden Harris doj for signing
Speaker 2: into legislation you can't vote if you're not a citizen.
Speaker 2: We're going to remove you from the voter roles. And
Speaker 2: in Georgia likewise, and in other states where governors and
Speaker 2: people who care about election integrity have made, you know,
Speaker 2: great strives and they've they've done it legally to say
Speaker 2: the obvious that you have to be an American citizen
Speaker 2: to vote in the selection. And yet they're being sued
Speaker 2: by the Department of Justice, which I think.
Speaker 5: Is yeah, because the Department of Justice and the Biden
Speaker 5: administration want to give up American sovereignty to a more
Speaker 5: globalist type thing with a world citizen, and that's.
Speaker 1: Part of their agenda.
Speaker 5: That's one of the reasons that I really love President
Speaker 5: Trump with his America First and American sovereignty policies. And
Speaker 5: they are terrified of that, and as we've seen, will
Speaker 5: do anything and everything to try to stop that amendment too. Yeah,
Speaker 5: let's give you that is the is the school choice
Speaker 5: bill right now. Under Kentucky law, the legislature is only
Speaker 5: allowed to fund public schools and may not use money
Speaker 5: for any kind of other education.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 5: Here, three or four years ago, they passed a law
Speaker 5: which would allow people to voluntarily donate to a fund
Speaker 5: that could be used to offset the price of private education.
Speaker 5: And if you donated to this fund, then you could
Speaker 5: write that off on your taxes. The left so much
Speaker 5: didn't want anybody to get any other money that they
Speaker 5: took this to court and had it thrown out because
Speaker 5: the way the laws phrases, they can't use any money
Speaker 5: for anything.
Speaker 1: Other than public schools.
Speaker 5: So they've come up with amendment to which allow requires
Speaker 5: them to continue to fund the public schools as they
Speaker 5: have been, but would also allow them to use money
Speaker 5: to offset the price of private education. Right now, only
Speaker 5: people who are financially better off are able to afford
Speaker 5: private education, but this would allow them to set up
Speaker 5: things such as that voluntary donation fund that could help
Speaker 5: people of lower income also have educational opportunities. It's a
Speaker 5: wonderful amendment I fully supported.
Speaker 2: And yet there is so much money being spent as
Speaker 2: we close in towards the election lely watch on telling
Speaker 2: people to vote no on Amendment Too in Kentucky. I
Speaker 2: got the mailer in my box this week. Again it's
Speaker 2: like the fourth one I've gotten. They are spending a
Speaker 2: lot of money. The teachers' unions in Kentucky, which is
Speaker 2: not the teachers, it's the teachers' unions and some other
Speaker 2: very powerful forces are spending a whole lot of money
Speaker 2: convincing people that they should not vote yes on Amendment
Speaker 2: Too in Kentucky. And it just seems like they're very
Speaker 2: desperate too to hold on to their power when it's
Speaker 2: the public money.
Speaker 5: I believe it's more about power, even more than so money,
Speaker 5: because if people actually had a choice, I'll give you
Speaker 5: an example. We had a legislator who will remain nameless,
Speaker 5: but a legislator came to me and said that they
Speaker 5: had some superintendents and principles coming to their office and say,
Speaker 5: if people could choose to go to our school or not,
Speaker 5: nobody would choose to go to our school, so we
Speaker 5: have to give them no choice. He said, well, that's
Speaker 5: the argument for the other side. And if people find
Speaker 5: out that they can get private education and get far
Speaker 5: better results, we're going to pull their kids out of schools.
Speaker 5: And that's what I think the left is concerned about,
Speaker 5: is that if you have one school that's pushing this
Speaker 5: Wolk philosophy and another one that's pushing reading, writing, and arithmetic,
Speaker 5: people are going to take their kids out of school
Speaker 5: one and put them in school too. So I think
Speaker 5: it's a great thing for Kentucky parents and students.
Speaker 2: Whenever there is more competition, there is more success.
Speaker 1: Ultimately, any it's a basic free enterprise system, you get
Speaker 1: lower cost and higher quality. So if Amendment two passes
Speaker 1: in Kentucky, public schools aren't going to be defunded, right,
Speaker 1: that is correct.
Speaker 5: The legislature is still under all of its requirements to
Speaker 5: continue to fund the public schools as it has been.
Speaker 1: They just don't want the competition exactly it.
Speaker 5: Now we have a lot of private school people, homeschoolers
Speaker 5: and Christian schools who are concerned learned that if the
Speaker 5: state gives them money some way, which this amendment does
Speaker 5: not do, but they're concerned if the state gives them money,
Speaker 5: that that will be a way for the state to
Speaker 5: take control of.
Speaker 1: What they do.
Speaker 5: However, there was a law passed in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 5: It's KRS one forty one point five to twenty that
Speaker 5: is a safeguard for this. This is what it says,
Speaker 5: and I'll just read it for your word for word.
Speaker 5: An education service provider shall not be required to alter
Speaker 5: its creed practices, admissions policies, or curriculum in order to
Speaker 5: accept payments from an EOA, which is Education Opportunity account.
Speaker 5: So right there in the law is already protection for
Speaker 5: private school people that the government's not going to be
Speaker 5: using amendment to to take over your school, right well, and.
Speaker 2: That's that's at least I understand their thinking in that, Lee,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure you do too. Where there's a carrot
Speaker 2: from the government, there's all was a stick, right Yeah,
Speaker 2: But in this case. That's that's not going to happen
Speaker 2: in Kentucky if Amendment two passes. What I'm afraid of
Speaker 2: is that the bombardment of outside money and money by
Speaker 2: the teachers unions are going to convince people that the
Speaker 2: public schools are just fine. All we need is more money.
Speaker 2: That's all they ever need is more money.
Speaker 5: And right go ahead, I say, I thought the lottery
Speaker 5: was supposed to fix all those problems. And when you
Speaker 5: talk about the schools being fine, I encourage everybody to
Speaker 5: go to ky school report card dot com. And if
Speaker 5: you go there, this is the Kentucky Department of Education's
Speaker 5: own website and you can look up every single school
Speaker 5: and I challenge anybody to find a single school that
Speaker 5: doesn't have a failing grade. And that's the reason we
Speaker 5: need some competition and parents to have choices in Kentucky
Speaker 5: because you look at these different schools, like I'm looking
Speaker 5: over at some different schools and they're just doing atrociously.
Speaker 5: So we definitely, I mean, they're getting f's literally in
Speaker 5: every single subject and every single grade level.
Speaker 2: And it's not necessarily the rural schools, although they're not
Speaker 2: thriving either, but it's the big city. It's Jefferson County
Speaker 2: and the like that are really really having a hard
Speaker 2: time educating children with our public schools.
Speaker 5: The schools are actually doing worse than the rural schools.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so vote yes on Amendment two. Obviously vote yes
Speaker 2: on an amendment one. I'm gonna need to go ahead,
Speaker 2: go ahead.
Speaker 1: I was saying.
Speaker 5: The legislature really works very hard this year to make
Speaker 5: the language very understandable. Sometimes they're given a hard time
Speaker 5: that is confusing. This time they really buckled down and
Speaker 5: they've made a very straightforward that's a simply guess on both.
Speaker 2: All right, listen, thank you for your time, and thank
Speaker 2: you God bless you for the fine work you're doing
Speaker 2: at our capital in Frankfort. Lee Watch is the chaplain
Speaker 2: of the Kentucky State Capital. God and government together. I
Speaker 2: hey you two, Lee Watts there, we'll take a quick
Speaker 2: break and come back on seven. Utter wlw Gary Jeffin
Speaker 2: for sloaning. As we take closer to election day, people
Speaker 2: voting right now in Ohio and all around the country.
Speaker 2: We're also closing out at the end of October Breast
Speaker 2: Cancer Awareness Month, and this is particularly personal and special
Speaker 2: to me because of course My wife was diagnosed with
Speaker 2: the breast cancer tumor in her right breasts a little
Speaker 2: over two years ago. And you know that first weekend
Speaker 2: after she found out. You can imagine if you've been
Speaker 2: through it yourself, the fear and the doubt, the uncertainty
Speaker 2: of what lies ahead. You know a lot of people
Speaker 2: hear that news and think instantly that they're they're bound
Speaker 2: for an early grave, and that happens.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: She went this morning for her follow up mammogram. She
Speaker 2: was determined cancer free a year. Almost a year ago,
Speaker 2: she went for her enhanced mammogram again this morning, and
Speaker 2: I got the news as I was frantically driving my
Speaker 2: way up here for a shift. I didn't know I
Speaker 2: was going to do, to tell me that the scan
Speaker 2: went great, totally clear, two years cancer free. Congratulations babe.
Speaker 2: And for everyone else who is dealing with this and
Speaker 2: who knows this story in their own lives, I guess
Speaker 2: you would agree with me in a unified voice if
Speaker 2: you haven't done it, especially ladies, no matter what age
Speaker 2: you are, get scanned, get the mammogram, find out early
Speaker 2: like we did, and you might have the same outcome
Speaker 2: we have had, thank God, to this point where pink
Speaker 2: supports the ladies and anyone with cancer and get checked earlier,
Speaker 2: the better a break. And then back Gary Jeff and
Speaker 2: Forsloonia on seven hundred W l W. That's Dave Keaden.
Speaker 10: You know, one time you tell this story and now
Speaker 10: now you've got to listen to this as walk up
Speaker 10: music every time you're on the show. It's not even Friday,
Speaker 10: Gary Jeff. And for Scott Sloan accidentally and Austin Elmore
Speaker 10: coming in just to help me eat up some time
Speaker 10: because that's all I have is time, and and I
Speaker 10: don't know how much time I've got, but I know
Speaker 10: I know I've got some, so you're gonna help me
Speaker 10: fill that time. And it's together, Gary Jeff. Thanks. He said,
Speaker 10: what do you want to talk about? And Tony Pike
Speaker 10: suggested politics and now I've tried that with Austin before.
Speaker 10: That doesn't wash with all. I see Carl Rove on
Speaker 10: the TV. I know that guy. What about dead butt
Speaker 10: syndrome dead butt de syndrome, never heard of? It sounds
Speaker 10: like an injury.
Speaker 2: According to Fox nineteen, it's something to be combated batting
Speaker 2: dead butt syndrome. I mean, I don't have a butt
Speaker 2: at all. Okay, I haven't. I think we all have one,
Speaker 2: don't we. Well, I mean not that you can really notice, right,
Speaker 2: which is why I need a built and suspenders to
Speaker 2: not have plumbers crack. Yes, So anyway, what are you
Speaker 2: planning on today? What are you going to be talking?
Speaker 2: What's the hot topic today? Well, you know, I think
Speaker 2: it's interesting. Over the last week or so, people seem
Speaker 2: to be unhappy with the way the Bengals have looked,
Speaker 2: even though they've won football games. And I think that
Speaker 2: playing complimentary football, which is when your defense helps your offense,
Speaker 2: and your offense helps your defense, and your special teams
Speaker 2: helps both, is a prerequisite to winning championships. And for
Speaker 2: the last two weeks, the Bengals have played complimentary football.
Speaker 2: You know, my team is the Kansas City Chiefs have
Speaker 2: been before they won the first Super Bowl with Mahomes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I've watched them, and you know, outside of the
Speaker 2: fact that they win games, they're totally unimpressive.
Speaker 10: Yeah, to me, Maholmes has thrown Leeds League in interceptions
Speaker 10: right now, right He's thrown more interceptions than he's throwing touchdowns.
Speaker 10: And they're six and zero and a lot of people
Speaker 10: seem to want to blame Zach Taylor, and I get
Speaker 10: that he's the head coach. He's the first guy everybody
Speaker 10: wants to blame.
Speaker 2: I blame Zach Taylor for Week one, the game against
Speaker 2: the Patriots that never should have gone down that way,
Speaker 2: and that was a lack of preparation and being ready
Speaker 2: for the start of the season. And that has been
Speaker 2: kind of a pattern during Zach Taylor's time with the Bengals.
Speaker 1: I can get with that.
Speaker 10: I will also say Zach Taylor didn't miss fourteen tackles
Speaker 10: within five yards like the Bengals defense that day. And
Speaker 10: I'll also say that Joe Burrow played the worst game
Speaker 10: maybe of his career that.
Speaker 1: Day, and he's having one of his best seasons ever.
Speaker 10: Correct and like statistically since then, he's an MVP candidate.
Speaker 10: So I think you're just kind of trying to figure
Speaker 10: that part of it out, which is you don't have
Speaker 10: to win every game forty five to ten. I mean,
Speaker 10: the Chiefs and Bengals have had these battles over the
Speaker 10: last several years. The Chiefs didn't win the Super Bowl
Speaker 10: forty five to ten, they'd win the AFC Championship Game
Speaker 10: forty five to ten, Like, you have to be able
Speaker 10: to win close games, and the Bengals are in survival
Speaker 10: mode right now. That's what happens when you start one
Speaker 10: and four. And it's just been mind blowing to me
Speaker 10: that people seem upset with the way that they look
Speaker 10: after winning two games in a row. This is a
Speaker 10: tough stretch for them. The Giants have a good defense,
Speaker 10: the Browns have a good defense, the Eagles have a
Speaker 10: good defense. Eagles have the best offense out of the
Speaker 10: three and maybe the worst defense out of the three.
Speaker 10: But it's a tough stretch against teams that don't necessarily
Speaker 10: match up very well for the Bengals, and because of that,
Speaker 10: it's gonna to be ugly, and you just got to
Speaker 10: find ways to win.
Speaker 2: I mean, the Bengals. Two of the Bengals losses have
Speaker 2: been very close to very good teams Baltimore and Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean if those those both those games could have
Speaker 2: gone either way. Yeah, And the Bengals played those tough
Speaker 2: teams fantastic, right, And.
Speaker 10: If not for a weird fumble by Joe Burrow that
Speaker 10: gets taken to the house by Kansas City, the Bengals
Speaker 10: might win that game and a rookie on a bad
Speaker 10: defense or on a defensive pass interference call that hurt them.
Speaker 10: That's again not playing complimentary football. Get to the Ravens game.
Speaker 10: They have a chance to win that. Evan McPherson is money.
Speaker 10: Typically in those situations, and the holder drops the ball,
Speaker 10: has a bad snap, bad hold, they miss it, they
Speaker 10: lose the game. Special teams not helping out the offense
Speaker 10: and the defense. So complimentary football, I say it all
Speaker 10: the time, prerequisite to winning championships. They've done that the
Speaker 10: last two weeks. If they continue doing that, I think
Speaker 10: they'll be just fine.
Speaker 2: Do they have the mental medal to overcome this subpar start?
Speaker 2: And do you think that as far as between the ears,
Speaker 2: are they that kind of team?
Speaker 1: Do you think? You know?
Speaker 10: I wanted about that this year because Joe Mixon's gone,
Speaker 10: and DJ Reider's gone, Chidabayo Woogie is gone, Tyler Boyd
Speaker 10: has gone. Those guys that have been staples and lockers
Speaker 10: locker room leaders for the last several years, and I
Speaker 10: wondered about that coming into this season. But the return
Speaker 10: of Von Bell, it seems that Mike Hilton has stepped
Speaker 10: up as a leader. Joe Burrow has openly talked about
Speaker 10: being more vocal as a leader. I feel like something's
Speaker 10: clicked over the last couple of weeks. Mike Hilton talked
Speaker 10: about the fact that they had a player's only meeting
Speaker 10: after the Baltimore game, and ever since then, the defense
Speaker 10: has been much more on the same page and the
Speaker 10: defensive line has been healthy, and that's been a big
Speaker 10: part of them playing better on the defensive side of
Speaker 10: the ball. So the answer your question, yeah, I think
Speaker 10: they do. I think it took a while for some
Speaker 10: guys to like, wait a minute, this, We're not just winning.
Speaker 10: How am I supposed to be a leader? How am
Speaker 10: I supposed to mentally help this team? And we're starting
Speaker 10: to see guys get more comfortable in those roles that
Speaker 10: were vacated by other guys. And I think they'll be okay.
Speaker 2: They're already playing and very soon the real regular season
Speaker 2: games will start for both Xavier and UC and college basketball.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like it's just too early?
Speaker 2: I just have that sense that, I mean, the World
Speaker 2: Series has going on, we're in the middle of football season,
Speaker 2: because you know that's what you talk about, what ninety
Speaker 2: percent of the time right now, nty five, right, And
Speaker 2: to me, it just.
Speaker 1: Seems just way too early.
Speaker 2: I remember when the college basketball season didn't start till
Speaker 2: almost the first week of December, and here we are
Speaker 2: in mid October and they're playing scrimmage games against real teams,
Speaker 2: not athletes in action, and you know, Backwoods Nazarene College
Speaker 2: and stuff like that.
Speaker 10: Well, the first month of the season is a bunch
Speaker 10: of out of conference stuff. There's a occasionally some good
Speaker 10: games and like these invitationals where two big teams will
Speaker 10: match up with one another. But for the first month,
Speaker 10: it's usually a bunch of preseason games out of conference,
Speaker 10: small schools. Yeah, and scrimmage yeah. Money, Yeah, Like that's
Speaker 10: I don't really put too much into that, but I
Speaker 10: guess I kind of like it. I've, for whatever reason,
Speaker 10: I have just been chomping at the bit for basketball.
Speaker 1: Really. Yeah, I watched four hours of NBA basketball last night.
Speaker 10: Okay, let's talk about I've been I've been chomping at
Speaker 10: the bit for basketball. I have no real explanation as
Speaker 10: to why. Uh So for me, I'm ready, I'm amazing.
Speaker 1: Maybe you just miss it. Maybe I did.
Speaker 2: Uh So you watched last night and uh a guy
Speaker 2: who was who followed you on Saturday mornings as a producer, Liam, Liam,
Speaker 2: of the many you have followed you on Saturday morning.
Speaker 2: We talked about that before. Yes, uh, he was. He
Speaker 2: was texting me last night. You watching the Celtics game
Speaker 2: right now, like I turn over and it's like a
Speaker 2: thirty five point blowout and he said, no, I mean, thanks,
Speaker 2: thanks for alerting me that it was on, but I
Speaker 2: really didn't care.
Speaker 1: It wasn't on my radar.
Speaker 2: And then he types back, I said, you know what,
Speaker 2: no magic, no Michael, no bird, I'm not interested. And
Speaker 2: then he texted me back, Lebron's worth the price with mission.
Speaker 2: So what was that like watching Lebron James and his
Speaker 2: son BRONI come out on the court last night together
Speaker 2: for the Lakers.
Speaker 10: That I have a love hate relationship with Lebron James
Speaker 10: because you know, he is an Ohio guy and has
Speaker 10: done a lot of good things and has been a
Speaker 10: model citizen with all the work he has done charitably.
Speaker 10: It felt like that moment was manufactured and more more
Speaker 10: about Lebron.
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm gonna get you into politics.
Speaker 10: Le's ego being massaged at the fact that he's still
Speaker 10: playing now in twenty two seasons where his son really
Speaker 10: didn't earn his way on to the NBA team, and
Speaker 10: he should be down in the G League developing like
Speaker 10: he very well may have a career ahead of them
Speaker 10: ahead of him, but it shouldn't be right now. So
Speaker 10: that to me was kind of a bit of a
Speaker 10: publicity stunt, ego thing for Lebron.
Speaker 2: And you sound almost like disgusted and surprised by that.
Speaker 10: I'm disgusted by the fact that people think it's this big,
Speaker 10: genuine thing that was really cool.
Speaker 2: Oh, like Donald Trump's really gonna work at McDonald's. Of
Speaker 2: course it was a stage political event, but that was
Speaker 2: the left response.
Speaker 1: Oh, that was staged.
Speaker 10: Everything they're doing right now is staged pretty much. I agree,
Speaker 10: campaign event is staged in some way for both candidates.
Speaker 10: It's all staged.
Speaker 2: But so you didn't have a lot of love for
Speaker 2: for Lebron and Bronny on this on the court.
Speaker 10: I really do like Lebron, but I just that moment
Speaker 10: kind of gave me the ick because it was, yeah,
Speaker 10: I was like, Eh, he didn't really earn it.
Speaker 2: Well, let's let's look ahead to this Eagles game. And
Speaker 2: you referenced it earlier when we were talking about the
Speaker 2: Eagles having a good defense, but probably the lesser defense
Speaker 2: of the next three the Bengals will face, Yeah, and
Speaker 2: a better offense. How I mean, is it is it
Speaker 2: easy to say that they're gonna make Jalen Hurts beat
Speaker 2: them or what happened?
Speaker 10: I think that has to be the game plan. Is
Speaker 10: you forced Jalen Hurts to beat you with his arm,
Speaker 10: maybe even his legs to an extent, Because when it
Speaker 10: comes to Phillies offense, they've got three guys that can
Speaker 10: make great plays anywhere on the field. Saquon Barkley has
Speaker 10: been a big acquisition for them, and he is a
Speaker 10: top five running back in terms of rushing yards in
Speaker 10: the NFL.
Speaker 1: Right now.
Speaker 10: They've got a j Brown and DeVante Smith on the outside,
Speaker 10: two wide receivers that can consistently win in man or
Speaker 10: zone coverage. So that's what makes Philly a threat. And
Speaker 10: so it starts with me and the way I always
Speaker 10: talk about any defense is stopping the run, and especially
Speaker 10: when it comes to a team in which you don't
Speaker 10: really feel as good about the quarterback and you would
Speaker 10: rather see him beat you with his arm because he's
Speaker 10: been clunky at times. You got to be able to
Speaker 10: take Saquon Barkley away, and when he does get the ball,
Speaker 10: you got to be able to tackle. Mention the fourteen
Speaker 10: miss tackles against New England in Week one, the Bengals
Speaker 10: have done a much better job the last three weeks tackling.
Speaker 10: They're gonna have to against Saquon Barkley. He is an
Speaker 10: absolute machine. He can take any time. Anytime he touches it,
Speaker 10: he can take it to the house.
Speaker 2: Well do you think that that massive amount of yardach
Speaker 2: he got against the Giants was kind of grudge stuff?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely, I think it's part of the game plan.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have any grudge against the Bengals. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: he doesn't. He doesn't, that's true.
Speaker 10: And then on the other side of that, the Eagles defense,
Speaker 10: they've they've gotten a lot of sacks over the last
Speaker 10: couple of weeks and they bring all sorts different pressures
Speaker 10: at you. So that's going to be a challenge with
Speaker 10: the offensive line, especially Orlando Brown Junior, who did limited
Speaker 10: practice yesterday with that knee or calf injury that he
Speaker 10: suffered on Sunday. He's been really, really good this year.
Speaker 10: So if they're not able to go with him for
Speaker 10: a full game that could be an issue, But overall,
Speaker 10: Philly doesn't have the strength of the defensive line that
Speaker 10: the Giants in the Browns had, so it's going to
Speaker 10: be a little bit easier in that sense. And you
Speaker 10: still have t Higgins and Jamar Chase that can equally
Speaker 10: be as damaging as the two I just mentioned for Philadelphia.
Speaker 10: It comes down to who's going to be that third
Speaker 10: guy for the Bengals. Is Chase Brown going to be
Speaker 10: involved not only in the run game, but in the
Speaker 10: past game and out in space, and can andre Yosivash
Speaker 10: or Jermaine Burton, whoever gets that third wide receiver role,
Speaker 10: can they start creating separation because they aren't getting it
Speaker 10: right now? Andre Josivash yesterday or Sunday zero point four
Speaker 10: to three yards of separation. The NFL average is two
Speaker 10: point nine to seven. That's very, very, very bad. You
Speaker 10: have to be able to get set operation as that
Speaker 10: third option in the offense to help move the change,
Speaker 10: especially on third downs.
Speaker 2: Excellent and Chase are Higgins, I mean in five seconds
Speaker 2: they can change, you can.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, they have that kind of talent and
Speaker 10: you saw that on Sunday. You've seen it all year,
Speaker 10: and even the play against Carolina where Chase gets the
Speaker 10: ball in the middle of the field and there's six
Speaker 10: guys around him and next thing you know is grittying
Speaker 10: in the end zones unbelieving.
Speaker 1: It's very nice.
Speaker 10: When's the last time you did the gritty? Garret Jee,
Speaker 10: have you done the gritty? What is the gritty? Would
Speaker 10: you like to demonstrate it for me during the commercial break?
Speaker 10: I'll give you a gritty. I have no idea what
Speaker 10: you know what it is?
Speaker 1: You've seen it. I probably seen the cool kids are
Speaker 1: doing it.
Speaker 2: It's the dance well okay, keywords, all the cool kids
Speaker 2: are doing it. I am not cool and I am
Speaker 2: not a kid.
Speaker 10: It's actually it's actually probably outdated by now, to be honest.
Speaker 2: Well, there are new dance craze, yeah all the time.
Speaker 2: When you got your finger on the pulse, I mean
Speaker 2: your walk up music.
Speaker 10: Is yeah, that's outdated. That means sparks. What is that,
Speaker 10: miss NewBoy, miss new booty? Well, which I think you
Speaker 10: told me the story again last time I was here
Speaker 10: in this seat, I still can can just imagine you.
Speaker 10: It was a beautiful site, man, it really was.
Speaker 1: You're on the street and all the time, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, a booty break.
Speaker 10: Yep, that's the best way to describe it is happening
Speaker 10: right in front of say it that way all over
Speaker 10: the place.
Speaker 2: All right, Austin, thanks for your time. I appreciate Austin
Speaker 2: elmore back in just a moment. We are a country
Speaker 2: of immigrants. There's no question my peoples came from let's
Speaker 2: see Sweden, England, Scotland, Ireland. There's a little bit of
Speaker 2: France thrown in there somewhere, and your genealogy may be
Speaker 2: the same. You may be, you know, straight down the
Speaker 2: line German or Irish descendancy, with a few little things
Speaker 2: thrown in in the melty part that is America. So
Speaker 2: we are a country of immigrants, and at the same time,
Speaker 2: what we've seen in the last three and a half
Speaker 2: years has nothing at all to do with the great
Speaker 2: waves of immigration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
Speaker 2: centuries in this country. As number one, we had a
Speaker 2: real choke golf point where people were coming in. For
Speaker 2: the most part, the majority of the people came through
Speaker 2: Ellis Island and had to wait there to make sure
Speaker 2: they had their vaccinations or to make sure they weren't sick,
Speaker 2: make sure they were people who would be able to
Speaker 2: assimilate into the already existing culture of the United States
Speaker 2: of America. That of course has not happened this time.
Speaker 2: And one of the reasons people are so just one
Speaker 2: of the many reasons, I mean, the violent crime and
Speaker 2: the criminals that have been let in. That's probably key
Speaker 2: issue overall. But the other part of that is there's
Speaker 2: no vetting these people for illness. And they've been putting
Speaker 2: these illegal immigrants on planes and flying them all across
Speaker 2: the Americas, all across America, without any kind of screening whatsoever.
Speaker 2: Just put them on a plane and drop them somewhere
Speaker 2: for whatever nefarious purposes. And you can have your own
Speaker 2: ideas about what they are so do I but the
Speaker 2: illness thing. Louisiana is suing Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorcas
Speaker 2: and various agencies after an illegal Chinese immigrant. By the way,
Speaker 2: there've been thousands of illegal Chinese immigrants come into our
Speaker 2: country unvetted, may have exposed hundreds in this date to
Speaker 2: a rare drug resistant form of tuberculosis. The Governor of Louisiana,
Speaker 2: Jeff Landry, and the state Attorney General there said yesterday
Speaker 2: the unnamed migrant was moved by US Immigration and Customs
Speaker 2: Enforcement ICE through different facilities in the state, possibly exposing
Speaker 2: at least two hundred other detainees in staff. The Chinese
Speaker 2: national has a rare, aggressive and drug resistant form of tuberculosis,
Speaker 2: which carries high mortality rates.
Speaker 1: The lawsuit states.
Speaker 2: State officials have worked to prevent the spread of the disease,
Speaker 2: but ICE requests called to hold detainees until they've been
Speaker 2: medically cleared by the Louisiana Department of Health. They should
Speaker 2: have held this guy before he ever came into the
Speaker 2: country to make sure he wasn't you know. It's a
Speaker 2: disaster what Biden, Harris and majorcis have done with immigration
Speaker 2: in this country. And they got enough brass winds to
Speaker 2: blame Donald Trump for their mess. The mess that we're
Speaker 2: all in now because of them. News Time seven utter
Speaker 2: WLW do you want to.
Speaker 6: Be an American?
Speaker 2: Just for the top they were talking about Louisiana's governor
Speaker 2: and attorney general suing may Orca's Department of Homeland fail
Speaker 2: Department of Homeland Security, He said, ICE and several detention
Speaker 2: centers for allowing this illegal Chinese immigrant into the country
Speaker 2: with no vetting and exposing hundreds to a rare, incurable
Speaker 2: form of tuberculosis. And again to what I was saying
Speaker 2: that many Americans still don't understand what's been happening with
Speaker 2: these people that are being flown into the country. A
Speaker 2: lot of people didn't even start to learn about this
Speaker 2: until this last year during the presidential campaign. But the
Speaker 2: Chinese citizen crossed legally into California through the southern border
Speaker 2: in July, down around San Diego. That's where the bulk
Speaker 2: of the illegal Chinese, most of them young military age
Speaker 2: men by the way, not families. They were later flown
Speaker 2: with one hundred other detainees to Alexandria, Louisiana, and then
Speaker 2: bust to another facility with more detainees. In other words,
Speaker 2: fly them somewhere, disseminate them out into the country, and
Speaker 2: pretend like it didn't happen. The patient tested positive for
Speaker 2: TV and was transferred to two other facilities before returning
Speaker 2: to a detention center at Ridgewood, Louisiana. Despite having symptoms
Speaker 2: of TV, they were released into the general population in
Speaker 2: August at the South Louisiana Ice Processing Center of the
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy four detainees exposed to the patient
Speaker 2: sixty have been deported, transferred, or relocated or released. Then,
Speaker 2: on the ninth of this month, the Louisiana Department of
Speaker 2: Health officials received positive results on their condition. So, in
Speaker 2: other words, this Chinese immigrant migrant had this drug resistant,
Speaker 2: incurable form of tuberculosis, wasn't checked at the border because
Speaker 2: nobody's being checked at the border, then was flown into
Speaker 2: the country, exposed other detainees who were at these centers
Speaker 2: detention centers to this, and the facility finally quarantined the
Speaker 2: dorm where the Chinese migrant was housed, conducted tests of
Speaker 2: the detainees in that dorm for drug resistant tuberculosis, all
Speaker 2: at negative results, So they dodged a bullet.
Speaker 1: But the point being.
Speaker 2: Is that there's no there's no check on who these
Speaker 2: people are. Meanwhile, citizens like you and I are being
Speaker 2: told that we have to get a real eye if
Speaker 2: we're going to fly anywhere in the country for our
Speaker 2: own for the country's own sake, for the country's own security.
Speaker 2: American citizens need to jump through about three hoops or
Speaker 2: have a passport to get on board a plane. When
Speaker 2: these folks aren't even required to perform any provide any
Speaker 2: kind of identification at all, and they're being flown all
Speaker 2: over the country. This has been going on regularly for
Speaker 2: the last three and a half years. This was all
Speaker 2: part of the plan. It's not that the immigration system
Speaker 2: is broken, it's the enforcement of our laws that's being
Speaker 2: broken by this current administration. Facts facts Man facts of
Speaker 2: the IRS as a new initiative. We've heard about the
Speaker 2: eighty seven thousand agents they were going to hire with
Speaker 2: the money from I don't know, the Inflation Reduction Act
Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense. But they're going after sole proprietorships
Speaker 2: and LLCs now. The news out this morning from the
Speaker 2: Epoch Times and if I can find the story here, yeah,
Speaker 2: it was along with Boeing losing six billion dollars. The
Speaker 2: IRS now is going to be going after new targets
Speaker 2: that they in the past haven't gone after. And if
Speaker 2: you've got an LLC, I've got a sole proprietorship. If
Speaker 2: you've got something where the business doesn't pay taxes but
Speaker 2: the owners file the taxes on their personal income tax.
Speaker 2: With these operations, the IRS is going to be putting
Speaker 2: you under the microscope to look out for, and it's
Speaker 2: just searching through them. The Boeing losses are not surprising.
Speaker 2: Any doors falling off your airplanes. Recently a massive six
Speaker 2: billion dollar loss in the third quarter, and that was
Speaker 2: after a labor vote failed to reach an agreement yesterday.
Speaker 2: Boeing's in big trouble and that is a big part
Speaker 2: of the American economy when it comes to travel and
Speaker 2: air travel and space travel. Take it off. A while
Speaker 2: back on my nightcap shows, I started doing profiles of
Speaker 2: people in this business, people who were on the radio,
Speaker 2: and had some pretty famous folks stop in for their
Speaker 2: close up, including Pat Saint John, who was a guy
Speaker 2: who's on Serious XM, but he's in the Radio Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame, and another buddy of his, shotgun Tom Kelly,
Speaker 2: a long time like fifty year radio vet. I've had
Speaker 2: Jim Lebarbara. Of course you got to have the music professor.
Speaker 2: But I also featured Scott Sloan, and this is Scott's
Speaker 2: Loane's show. So in a few minutes we will harken
Speaker 2: back to that conversation and we'll get it all together
Speaker 2: for you. Cool day, nice and it's gonna warm back
Speaker 2: up tomorrow with some rain. They say a possibility of rain,
Speaker 2: but how dry is it? I mean, And it's different
Speaker 2: parts of the city. You'll see it differently. My wife
Speaker 2: was out driving for Uber Eats on Tuesday and said
Speaker 2: she was on the West side in del High all
Speaker 2: day long and she said it was the leaves were
Speaker 2: absolutely breathtaking. Now, other parts of the tri State that
Speaker 2: haven't gotten as much rain, you're not going to see
Speaker 2: the full range of fall colors that you usually see,
Speaker 2: and they're coming out now finally. But where we weren't
Speaker 2: in almost extreme drought conditions, you're seeing the colors start
Speaker 2: to change and it's a pretty nice treat overall. But
Speaker 2: there's no real rain in the significant rain in the
Speaker 2: forecast for the next week and a half. An isolated
Speaker 2: shower possible tomorrow as we wore them back up, but
Speaker 2: that may only net us about a tenth of an
Speaker 2: inch if you're lucky need some showers, and we're way
Speaker 2: behind on the October number. So the meteorologists say, like
Speaker 2: they know anything certified anyway. We will continue in just
Speaker 2: a moment with my American History on the radio conversation
Speaker 2: with Scott Sloane that occurred a few months back and.
Speaker 1: Turn you on to that. And in the interim, let's.
Speaker 2: Take a quick break Gary Jeff in for Sloaney on
Speaker 2: seven hundred WLW, part of the American History on the
Speaker 2: Radio seconds we were doing here on the night chap
Speaker 2: for a while going back to last year, and I
Speaker 2: thought Sloaney would be great.
Speaker 1: Just because you couldn't sign anyone else.
Speaker 2: Okay, there was that, and then there was also the
Speaker 2: fact that you are a very I think you're a
Speaker 2: very complex radio personality in many ways. And I don't
Speaker 2: mean that from a derogatory standpoint at all.
Speaker 1: No, No, it's just I know. That's the thing. I
Speaker 1: asked Sloan one time.
Speaker 2: Why never does impressions of Gary Jeff Walky said, because
Speaker 2: you would think it was funny. You do the impressions
Speaker 2: just to irritate the people, Yes, because they get get
Speaker 2: more out of it that way. More on me, Gray,
Speaker 2: I would do it more. So let's go to Scott's
Speaker 2: Loan's History on the Radio, which goes back to Buffalo,
Speaker 2: New York.
Speaker 1: Is that where you're from, Well, I grew up there.
Speaker 1: We actually moved to it'd be the Youngstown Warren area
Speaker 1: when I was in high school. I was a senior
Speaker 1: in high school, and yeah, I had no idea what
Speaker 1: I was gonna do. I had a speech teachers I
Speaker 1: recalled in we had like a little mini class in radio,
Speaker 1: and I thought, that's kind of an interesting thing, kind
Speaker 1: of back of my head. And then as I sat
Speaker 1: in high school, I wanted to be a draft one.
Speaker 1: I wanted to be an architect like Mike Brady because
Speaker 1: I had the curly, hairy yeah. And then I realized
Speaker 1: at some point to be gay and married to Florence Hams,
Speaker 1: Yes exactly, with my long tube cardboard tube in my hand,
Speaker 1: and realize at one point I went, well, let's see,
Speaker 1: you can't really add subtract multiplying the other one. So
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to do these math classes in college?
Speaker 1: Are your son? And no one's going to be to
Speaker 1: buy a bridge with me. That's a couple feet short,
Speaker 1: let's put it that way. So at some point I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: math is definitely not my thing. What where can I
Speaker 1: go with with low self esteem, bad people, skills, horrible
Speaker 1: uh horrible uh self worth and maybe make a little
Speaker 1: bit of money but not have to do any math
Speaker 1: and the radio is a perfect career for you. It
Speaker 1: sounds a lot like my pai really was, really was
Speaker 1: now really had low self esteem. Yeah, I think everybody
Speaker 1: everybody in this business does. Yeah, yea, So everyone and
Speaker 1: entertainment hates themselves.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, there's a little bit of that
Speaker 2: as I was a kid that was made fun of
Speaker 2: and junior high and high school and stuff.
Speaker 1: I have a childhood though, you.
Speaker 2: Know, and which was always gratifying to go back for,
Speaker 2: like my tenth high school reunion when I was a
Speaker 2: big celebrity in town and you know, sure people knew
Speaker 2: me and right, and I didn't lord it over them
Speaker 2: too much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you spend a lot of time by yourself, you know,
Speaker 1: you don't really like yourself growing and no even that's
Speaker 1: this eight. No one likes themselves kidding yourself.
Speaker 2: So was there anybody when you were a kid that
Speaker 2: you listened to on the radio and said, you know what,
Speaker 2: that's cool.
Speaker 1: That guy hasn't hasn't acted. I'd like to emulate. I
Speaker 1: remember my mom and dad listening to It would have
Speaker 1: been wg R and Buffalo okay fifty five and they
Speaker 1: that was when you had the big you know, the
Speaker 1: old real hardcore DJs and stuff like that, and they
Speaker 1: My dad always was a huge fan of that station,
Speaker 1: so I listened to that little bit influenced there. But
Speaker 1: it wasn't until I was in college at Bowling Green
Speaker 1: Bowling Green State University and started getting into radio because
Speaker 1: I didn't know what I wanted to do. I guess
Speaker 1: I was gonna, okay, first of my family go to college.
Speaker 1: But that was the eighties. You know, you can get it.
Speaker 1: You have a pulse and a number two pencil. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're good, go ahead, get it. It's like a lot
Speaker 1: more serious now, right, So but you got to lose.
Speaker 1: So you show up and I'm like, I don't know
Speaker 1: what I want to do. Maybe I want to look
Speaker 1: at though the syllabus going camera operator. That sounds like
Speaker 1: a pretty pretty good career for me. Stand and run
Speaker 1: a TV camera. How hard could that be? I don't
Speaker 1: have to do any math, just stand there. And I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm watching antying paid to watch a little
Speaker 1: TV of people on a bigger TV. It's really it's
Speaker 1: not that hard. And I met a buddy of mine
Speaker 1: there at Bowling Green and he introduced me to he
Speaker 1: was doing a campus show in the summer. Because I
Speaker 1: was too dumb to get into like fall. I had
Speaker 1: to start in the summer to prove that I wasn't
Speaker 1: as dumb as my transcript set I was. And so
Speaker 1: we're doing college, right, and I'm like, well, this is
Speaker 1: pretty cool because they don't see you, and like I
Speaker 1: can just be creative and do stuff. And then I
Speaker 1: kind of fell in love with it, and yeah, next
Speaker 1: thing I know, I was like I was all in
Speaker 1: and spend so much time of the colleges. She almost
Speaker 1: got kicked out of school a few times. Her grades,
Speaker 1: no kid, Yeah, yeah, terrible.
Speaker 2: I hated what I called thirteenth grade, which was Volunteer
Speaker 2: State Community College in Gallaton, Tennessee at WVCP eighty eight
Speaker 2: point three on the dial. And got a job at
Speaker 2: a local radio station about a mile away. And that
Speaker 2: was the end of my college career. I made it
Speaker 2: two semesters. I know a few people.
Speaker 1: I knew one girl still in radio in Toledo actually
Speaker 1: and doing quite well. But she she had I think
Speaker 1: like one class she did was Toledo your first professional
Speaker 1: job or yeah? Yeah, So went to Bowling Green did
Speaker 1: college radio there with people at Lisa Brown at the Reds.
Speaker 1: She was a classmate. A couple other people Scott Stanley
Speaker 1: who des are creative. I mentioned guy Genius. We I
Speaker 1: was actually his He's two years ahead of me, so
Speaker 1: I was his assistant director of production. Couldn't learn anybody.
Speaker 1: We had a great time. We just know we would
Speaker 1: just goof on, you know, stuff and have fun. We
Speaker 1: had a blast. So it's kind of byronic we all
Speaker 1: ended up at this this huge station, right, So yeah,
Speaker 1: that was that was really cool. Yeah, and then you know,
Speaker 1: went to school and uh so how'd you get how'd
Speaker 1: you get the pro job? Well, so it was like
Speaker 1: kind of like Cincinnati Dayton. I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: still that way because Dayton it's no market, but like,
Speaker 1: for example, you know, people who would work and go
Speaker 1: to school in dayt ud had come to Cincinnati and
Speaker 1: you know, work on the weekends. And so Bulling Green
Speaker 1: is about thirty minutes south at Toledo, fort minute the
Speaker 1: south and you drive up there. So a roommate who
Speaker 1: was doing at one of the hit he music stations there,
Speaker 1: he got me on the weekends and then by my
Speaker 1: junior year, I got hired full time at the number
Speaker 1: one station to do the overnight show, which is midnight
Speaker 1: to six and so I don't know how I did
Speaker 1: it my last two years, but I would do midnight
Speaker 1: to six am and then leave and drive to Bowling
Speaker 1: Green forty minutes away and do the college morning show
Speaker 1: with my part and morning show partner, and then I
Speaker 1: go to class, and then I sleep for fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: and do it all over again. And then I worked
Speaker 1: a part almost a full time, part time job of
Speaker 1: the weekend. I don't think I slept for two years.
Speaker 1: But I was having fun. Not make any money, but
Speaker 1: you're having a good time. And I took less classes
Speaker 1: and spread it out at an extra semester because of that,
Speaker 1: but it was good. I just that's all I wanted
Speaker 1: to do all the time.
Speaker 2: Talking to scotts Loan on the Nightcap American History on
Speaker 2: the radio, and I'll tell you what. This seems like
Speaker 2: a good time to just take a quick break and
Speaker 2: come back in a moment. When we do, we'll talk
Speaker 2: about a little bit about the Toledo years. There was
Speaker 2: a slight bit of controversy.
Speaker 1: That you did your homework.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all we need is yeah, a balcony.
Speaker 8: Right right, which you know's surprise you hear, is the
Speaker 8: I will I will tell you about one of my
Speaker 8: first moments of infamy when I got to Cincinnati and
Speaker 8: it involved a K Steel and uh then general manager
Speaker 8: Jackie Brumm and her reaction when we come back Scott
Speaker 8: Sloan with us seven hundred w l W okay.
Speaker 2: Back into it, part two of the Scott Sloan Grilling
Speaker 2: on seven hundred w l in.
Speaker 1: Like sixty minutes all we need. That's right, Like I'm
Speaker 1: more attractive, LOVELI if you if you start crying, I'm
Speaker 1: going to bring in Sarah Lease. So anyway, here, here
Speaker 1: we go. I love the snort. So Toledo, yes.
Speaker 4: City.
Speaker 2: Oh I know, I know exactly what the comment was.
Speaker 2: I did get involved a visit by a certain civil
Speaker 2: rights leader in town, and uh we we don't have
Speaker 2: to go into it again.
Speaker 1: It's been a long time ago. Because it's been that long,
Speaker 1: I don't think it ever is. I mean, honestly, I
Speaker 1: think so. This was back in the day when Listener
Speaker 1: told me about this. Yeah, we're supposed to be and
Speaker 1: it's much different today. Just this over top outrageousness, right
Speaker 1: because like it's everyone's the shock jockey thing, you know,
Speaker 1: starting with this peak in a little bit and it's like,
Speaker 1: and especially the company at that time was really pushing
Speaker 1: for that, and I just started. And but also I think,
Speaker 1: you know, when you're not to make excuses for saying
Speaker 1: stupid stuff, which to this day is still embarrassing and
Speaker 1: it's it's hurtful and horrible. If you're in the radio law,
Speaker 1: you're going to it. But I don't think you can anymore.
Speaker 1: I think if you do stuff that get you in trouble,
Speaker 1: it used to be like, okay, did you learn from this?
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was really good radio. And now there's
Speaker 1: no room for that anymore. And you know, especially in
Speaker 1: the Twitter sphere, you know, somebody tweeted stuff out when they're,
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen years old and they're now thirty seven.
Speaker 1: I don't understand how you go back. I think some
Speaker 1: of these allegations it's very sexual assault for example, very serious.
Speaker 1: But I don't know how you go back to nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety three and from twenty twenty three and go, you
Speaker 1: did this back in nineteen ninety three, and now I'm
Speaker 1: going to hold you accountable.
Speaker 2: I think that's totally insane that people were canceled for
Speaker 2: things that happened thirty forty years ago.
Speaker 1: Right, right, and it's disturbing. I think, you know, it's like,
Speaker 1: well did you grow from that experience? In granted there
Speaker 1: you're being victimized. I want to help you heal, but
Speaker 1: in a case of what you say on the radio,
Speaker 1: I think at some point you're like, okay, I clearly
Speaker 1: you're a different person. At least you should always grow,
Speaker 1: I think, and be a different person than we're. But yeah,
Speaker 1: in regardless, that was literally I think the low point
Speaker 1: of probably my career but also my life. I think too,
Speaker 1: because I like, well, you know, what do you want
Speaker 1: to do with you? What do you want to be?
Speaker 1: And trying to figure that out publicly is much different
Speaker 1: than most people go through, I think when you're not
Speaker 1: on the public airwaves.
Speaker 2: So it's nineteen ninety four. I had been here on
Speaker 2: the air for maybe four or five months. Yeah, at
Speaker 2: then ninety two point five, which wasn't even the Fox
Speaker 2: that it was the point.
Speaker 1: The point? What's the point? And they never could answer
Speaker 1: that question? So it became a Fox.
Speaker 2: So so I'm on the air doing afternoons on the point.
Speaker 2: How music was that caryg Ja that was rock and
Speaker 2: Roll's greatest hits? Oh okay, I got you well, they
Speaker 2: started by playing nine and fifty songs in a row
Speaker 2: without commercials.
Speaker 1: Put you over the top. Absolutely. It was the exact
Speaker 1: opposite of the stations that flipped to Christmas in July
Speaker 1: that just admit, listen our music, saw music blows, We're
Speaker 1: just gonna go Christmas music.
Speaker 2: I hadn't been here that long in town, and there
Speaker 2: had been a third accidental death at ak Steel within
Speaker 2: about a five to six month span, Okay, And I'm
Speaker 2: just sitting here observing this. And at the same time,
Speaker 2: doctor Kavorkian had been on trial for assisted suicide, and
Speaker 2: there'd been a ruling from the Ohio State Supreme Court
Speaker 2: that assistant suicide was in fact a crime in the
Speaker 2: state of Ohio. Yeah, and I said, for some reason
Speaker 2: that still escapes me, other than I just thought it
Speaker 2: was clever. I was wrong that maybe, since the Ohio
Speaker 2: State Supreme Court has spoken about assisted suicide in Ohio,
Speaker 2: doctor Kavorkian should take his clients to AK Steel and
Speaker 2: have them fill out job applications.
Speaker 1: Similar to my I am.
Speaker 2: They were getting flooded with all these angry calls, mostly
Speaker 2: from AK Steel and Jackie Brum, who was a general manager.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember her. She was gone
Speaker 2: by the time you got here. She calls me in
Speaker 2: to the we were in Mount Adams. She calls me
Speaker 2: into this common area and we're sitting in these schoolroom
Speaker 2: chairs in the middle of the room without a table
Speaker 2: between us and I boss Tony, my program director, Tony
Speaker 2: Tolliver's there, and Jackie's there, and she said, Gary, Jeff,
Speaker 2: exactly tell me what you said.
Speaker 1: Okay. I told her what I said, and she put
Speaker 1: her head down, shaking it, but I could tell she
Speaker 1: was hiding her laughter. Oh boy, yeah, And she just
Speaker 1: looked up with a big smile on her face, a
Speaker 1: Gary Jeff, you can't say that. You need to apologize,
Speaker 1: And I did. And that was the end of it, though,
Speaker 1: And that was the end of it. Mine was kind
Speaker 1: of dragged out because we didn't have any leadership up
Speaker 1: there and like the gentleman didn't care. He was on vacation,
Speaker 1: and this all went down and like it just turned
Speaker 1: in this. You know, you get protesters showing up and
Speaker 1: like I'll go away, and it never goes away. You know,
Speaker 1: you got to deal with that stuff firsthand, and was
Speaker 1: suspended for a couple of months. You know, joking about
Speaker 1: the death of a prominent civil rights leader as a
Speaker 1: white guy. You couldn't shouldn't do that. You sh knew
Speaker 1: they are a black guy. But you know what I'm
Speaker 1: saying is back it was. It was just a horrible,
Speaker 1: horrible I think a good learning expert. It's all around,
Speaker 1: but definitely changes you.
Speaker 2: One you wouldn't be able to recover from today. No, no,
Speaker 2: not at all, No, no one. No, there's no there's
Speaker 2: no remember I yeah, yeah, but the thing Rutgers Women's basket.
Speaker 1: Think he said, yeah, it just doesn't it's just not
Speaker 1: he did. But still it's like it's just yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: there want to be that. I mean, there's guys in there,
Speaker 1: there's there's the Alex Jones things. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you do that, how you live with yourself? I gotta
Speaker 1: be a you know, I really admitted I don't like
Speaker 1: you don't like yourself. But does that make yourself more
Speaker 1: likable to anyone, especially yourself? Is it? Do you need
Speaker 1: to really attack people who have lost their babies? It's
Speaker 1: just no, it's horrible. You should just gotta be There's
Speaker 1: gonna be some boundaries there if you're if you're a thinking,
Speaker 1: breathing human Being's terrible. It's terrible, but nonetheless I survived
Speaker 1: probably the last one.
Speaker 2: Our old Boston buddy, the guy that I loved, and
Speaker 2: it is nothing. It says nothing about the current management here.
Speaker 2: It just says everything about this guy. And you knew
Speaker 2: him so well and I think respected him as much
Speaker 2: as I did. Darryl Parks he brings you down to Cincinnati, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was the guy who heard that and said, well,
Speaker 1: when they fire you there, and at this time, I
Speaker 1: would love to. And that's why I loved Darryl's because
Speaker 1: no one in Toledo was talking to me. Oh you
Speaker 1: were like co workers bar right, like I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: no communication here, and you know, you start, oh my god,
Speaker 1: and Darrel's like, hey, when you get fired. The funny
Speaker 1: story about this Gary Jef. We have time, Yeah, we
Speaker 1: have time, Okay, plenty of time. That was not my
Speaker 1: first attempt at getting hired at seven hundred WLW back
Speaker 1: in decades ago. The first came when then Tony Bender,
Speaker 1: who's still with us, was working as our assistant. So
Speaker 1: after all this went down, they brought him up to
Speaker 1: kind of take control of the thing, saying you guys,
Speaker 1: there's no control up here. There's no So he came
Speaker 1: up there and we got to be you know, coworkers
Speaker 1: and friends and said, hey, I got to get you
Speaker 1: down in Cincinnati, maybe do some fillings on fifty five
Speaker 1: k R seedback when it was live and local back
Speaker 1: then too. Anybody came down and filled in, and then
Speaker 1: they invited me back to like, well, why do you
Speaker 1: come down and fill in on LW during And this
Speaker 1: was a time when I think McConnell was doing like
Speaker 1: a ten hour show from what was it like nine
Speaker 1: am to three? It was ridiculous when he was working.
Speaker 1: And so he came and did it on our audition
Speaker 1: for a couple of days. Very forgettable, I'm sure. So
Speaker 1: I came down and did that whole thing. Well, I
Speaker 1: get a call. At the time, Bill Cunningham was the
Speaker 1: big boss. He was the director of programming operation, which
Speaker 1: if Emil Willie you go, that's just a bad idea
Speaker 1: to show you how stupid radio people are. Management and
Speaker 1: the whole operation is just it's you stupid. We are
Speaker 1: the bottom. We're the carp of any industry you look at. Well,
Speaker 1: at least I'm not in radio because we're stupid, So go, well,

Speaker 1: was his level of paranoia that would get him going.
Speaker 1: Was so and you could get stirred up. You could
Speaker 1: tell him I'm just playing with you. He would still
Speaker 1: the paradoid level is huge.
Speaker 2: I got a funny Furman story about paranoiaka and Andy
Speaker 2: and his insecurity. I was here on a weekend filling
Speaker 2: in for somebody or doing something and I was waiting
Speaker 2: in a room to do an interview and Andy came
Speaker 2: in because he was just cooling his heels before he
Speaker 2: did a fill in on one of the sports. It
Speaker 2: was thirteen sixty or something, sure, and I said, Andy,
Speaker 2: what's going on. I'm nervous. I'm very nervous. I'm nervous.
Speaker 2: I said, why are you nervous? So I've got to
Speaker 2: do this national show in a minute, and I don't
Speaker 2: know if I got all the right and he's doing
Speaker 2: all that, you know, the the covetching that he does
Speaker 2: so well. And I said, Andy, you have absolutely no
Speaker 2: reason to be nervous about being on the radio. You've
Speaker 2: been on the radio for what a twenty year decades? Yeah, decades?
Speaker 2: What's but before he goes on, that was his modus operande.
Speaker 2: He had to always by being nervous, just nervous about
Speaker 2: about everything. And and once the thing is like, we're
Speaker 2: like shark infested waters here at a w We eat
Speaker 2: our own when it's slow. And so if if you
Speaker 2: show weakness, we'll explode. We'll we'll we'll just pick up
Speaker 2: that scab non stop. And remember Andy one time said
Speaker 2: something on the rate of he don't get in trouble
Speaker 2: with that. Old Derel was a listener, I don't know,
Speaker 2: and back in the day at the end of the
Speaker 2: old phones where he'd pushed the button and the line
Speaker 2: would light up.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm talking about the bottom. So he gets
Speaker 1: on the air and uh, I the hotline is the
Speaker 1: magic number of people call the secret secret number here.
Speaker 1: So I would hit the button like on and off,
Speaker 1: like it was flashing, like it was ringing, and I
Speaker 1: picked up one time, and who called the hotline. It
Speaker 1: was Darrely wants to talk to you when your show's over.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, don't get the fight. I get fired.

Speaker 1: you somewhere but he heard and he wanted to you'll
Speaker 1: call back. Man sitting and there waiting for my show,
Speaker 1: and I'm and then he starts talking again after commercial break,
Speaker 1: after news comes back, and I start hitting that line again,

Speaker 1: he's trying to talk and I'm watching his eyes keep
Speaker 1: looking at the phone. It's to light up. And the
Speaker 1: minute he stopped talking, I'd stopped doing it. Who is that?
Speaker 1: It was Derely Age? Why keep calling me? Mind up?
Speaker 1: In fact, he was so worked up that I had
Speaker 1: to tell Andy, I'm just effing with you. But in
Speaker 1: his mind he didn't even hear that. No, so he
Speaker 1: actually called him. He's like, I was like, what what
