Speaker 2: Bruce Hornsby in the range was all the rage on
Speaker 2: a stage in Nashville, And I'll never forget just the
Speaker 2: imposing presence this six foot four guy had in the
Speaker 2: middle of this stage. The musicians usually aren't giant sized,
Speaker 2: but he just stood there in the center of the stage.
Speaker 2: The microphone right in front of him, straddling the microphone,
Speaker 2: playing his accordion and towering over almost everyone else in
Speaker 2: the room.
Speaker 1: Great show, great music.
Speaker 2: Before we look at and look back at significant events
Speaker 2: and people tied to this particular date in history, including
Speaker 2: but not limited to these This November the twenty third,
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty three, a day after the assassination of President
Speaker 2: John F. Kennedy, then President Lyndon Baines Johnson claimed November
Speaker 2: twenty fifth a day of national mourning. When I'm like
Speaker 2: that for three days. If you were alive, you remember
Speaker 2: this date. In nineteen seventy one, the People's Republic of
Speaker 2: China was seated in the United Nations Security Council.
Speaker 1: Yeh.
Speaker 2: On this date, November twenty third, nineteen eighty an estimated
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred to three thousand killed by a series

Speaker 2: one of the most famous passes in college football history,
Speaker 2: the Hail Mary, connecting with Jerald Feeland for a forty
Speaker 2: eight yard touchdown with no time left, Boston College defeating
Speaker 2: the Miami hurricanes forty seven to forty five. A commandeer
Speaker 2: to Ethiopian Airlines Boeing six seven sixty seven, crashed into
Speaker 2: the water off the Tomorrow Islands this state in nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety six, killing one hundred and twenty five and one
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five on board. See two thousand and eight.
Speaker 2: The US government unveiled a bold plan to rescue City Group.
Speaker 2: I love it when government gets involved in business too
Speaker 2: big to fail and all that right, injecting a fresh
Speaker 2: twenty billion dollars into City Group as well as guaranteeing
Speaker 2: hundreds of billions of dollars in risky assets. God, don't
Speaker 2: you love the fall of two thousand and eight? Financial?
Speaker 2: Not really? Former soon to be former Senate Majority Leader

Speaker 2: It's been going at a rapid pace, adding to the
Speaker 2: great list of people who are going to be on
Speaker 2: the same page with President elect Trump and hopefully on
Speaker 2: the same page with most of the American people. Doctor
Speaker 2: Marty mcarry will now head the FDA. That's exciting for
Speaker 2: once you don't have a vaccine apologist or somebody who's
Speaker 2: on the take of Pfizer or Maderna at the head
Speaker 2: of the Food and Drug Administration. That's encouraging news, A
Speaker 2: new search in general, a new CDC director. It is

Speaker 2: our conversation.
Speaker 1: I couldn't understand it. I'm gonna put you back on hold.
Speaker 1: Hang on.
Speaker 2: I mean first, just no presentation at all, no mobility
Speaker 2: to tell a joke, and then the phone doesn't work?
Speaker 2: All right, Dave, what's you got?
Speaker 10: Well?
Speaker 17: The person goes into the doctor and says, I swallowed
Speaker 17: the film out of my camera. This this is obviously
Speaker 17: an older joke, but uh so the doctor says, well,

Speaker 1: You know where you are?
Speaker 19: Dave.
Speaker 2: You're you're You're in a place where no one wants
Speaker 2: to be. You're getting off my phone.
Speaker 20: Jokes told by Dave from Harrison are not necessarily considered
Speaker 20: funny by the staff, management, or advertisers of seven hundred
Speaker 20: W l W or his parent company, iHeartMedia. If these
Speaker 20: attempts at humor have caused you to roll your eyes,
Speaker 20: made your stomach churn, or you have considered the entire
Speaker 20: exercise to be a colossal waste of time. We deeply apologize.
Speaker 20: Now back to our irregular programming.
Speaker 2: It's time to turn on the radio.
Speaker 1: It's time for Donna Summer to turn me on, baby.
Speaker 4: Some on the lady on me on the radio, and
Speaker 4: the load high.
Speaker 1: Now, her voice more titillating than a Jaguar commercial.
Speaker 4: In your around on.
Speaker 2: It's time for a reception report. And let's see what
Speaker 2: he's here. And on the radio this morning, he's old
Speaker 2: radio Rick. Good morning, mister Washburn. How are you taking?
Speaker 21: Good morning boy? That's some hot stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it really really, you know. And and
Speaker 1: here's the thing.
Speaker 2: People at the time, we cool kids who thought disco
Speaker 2: sucked weren't listening properly to Donna Summer. There is absolutely
Speaker 2: no way you could miss that talent or or deny
Speaker 2: that talent. When she sang, she could absolutely fill up
Speaker 2: a room with that voice and us and I don't
Speaker 2: care about one hundred and twenty beats per minute stuff,
Speaker 2: that's fine, but I just want to hear her sing,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
Speaker 21: Yeah, that made me melancholy.
Speaker 1: We miss it all right.
Speaker 21: It's sad that I think there's a few artists that
Speaker 21: really were I guess brushed off into the the dells
Speaker 21: of disco disco.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's let's blow up their records, blow up
Speaker 2: their records, all right? So how are you receiving us?
Speaker 2: What are you receiving us on? And what's the catalogs?
Speaker 2: Say Rick?
Speaker 21: Okay, well, I'm hey. Shout out to Neil. This is
Speaker 21: a warranty repair on a nineteen forty seven Farnsworth. This
Speaker 21: is a nice little plastic table model that I believe,
Speaker 21: I think you said it was his, either his mothers
Speaker 21: or his grandmothers, that it used to sit in the
Speaker 21: refrigerator in the kitchen. And I still don't know what
Speaker 21: the heck I did wrong with it. But I've got
Speaker 21: one that I own that's now on the bench along
Speaker 21: with it, sitting it out, trying to figure out what
Speaker 21: why it won't behave And I've used all the appropriate expletives,
Speaker 21: and I have pointed at it and given stern warning.
Speaker 21: So now I actually have to do some troubleshooting figure
Speaker 21: out what's wrong with it. But this is a five
Speaker 21: tube AM All American radio, which basically was the standard
Speaker 21: design in forty seven and years around that for a
Speaker 21: five to tube radio. Man, this thing has an internal antenna.
Speaker 21: That's pretty awesome, and it is a heck of a
Speaker 21: DXer for just a five to two radio. Until people
Speaker 21: got to thinking they were smarter than they really were.
Speaker 21: Barnes were saved some money by sticking two little wires
Speaker 21: out the back and not marking them. And essentially it
Speaker 21: is what they call a magnetic resonance antenna input, meaning
Speaker 21: that you could actually hook an antenna and a ground
Speaker 21: to the radio make the reception much better. But those
Speaker 21: connections were just a loop of wire that basically radiated
Speaker 21: the signal to the actual internal antenna. So there's no
Speaker 21: connections to the radio directly, and you could use the
Speaker 21: ground and so forth, which was a very unsafe for
Speaker 21: this type of radio otherwise. Nonetheless, every time I get
Speaker 21: one of these radios, in the one that I own,
Speaker 21: and I think when I got his first, somebody worked
Speaker 21: on it and twisted those two wires together. Oh, somebody
Speaker 21: broke the wire and suddenly the radio doesn't work at all.
Speaker 2: So right there you go, good luck with your Farnsworth.
Speaker 21: Well, Filo will be proud, right.
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, So what else can you say about this radio?
Speaker 21: Well, I was going to say a couple of other
Speaker 21: things differently. Number one, the catalogue says, the ultra modern
Speaker 21: tear drop design of this plastic table model is as
Speaker 21: new as tomorrow. Remember Farnsworth for that extra radio. I
Speaker 21: guess they weren't looking for the market of being the
Speaker 21: main radio now. But the black out, the black outer
Speaker 21: circle of the dial offers pleasing contrast to the gleaming
Speaker 21: white cabinet. Wow, that's a breach. And my favorite part
Speaker 21: the ad DC superheterodyne. I think you meant a c DC.
Speaker 21: Think you proofreaders?
Speaker 1: Nice?
Speaker 21: The catalog jeistis radio is a d D. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the problem right there. Just needs medication. It
Speaker 2: doesn't need expletives or finger pointing. It just needs medication.
Speaker 2: Good luck with that, Rick, and we have a happy
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving to my friend.
Speaker 21: You did the Saints Sirs.
Speaker 1: Thank you all right.
Speaker 2: And Mike in Northwest where are you exactly in Northwest Ohio?
Speaker 1: Mike?
Speaker 10: Hey, good morning.
Speaker 13: Uh I am in Portage, Portage, Ohio. It's just a
Speaker 13: little south of Bowling Green.

Speaker 13: hundredth birthday. You know that's what is it this year

Speaker 13: And if you look at Mike qr z page, you're
Speaker 13: going to be You're going to see a picture of
Speaker 13: my old Pulley cabinet. It's one hundred years old and
Speaker 13: it housed an add water camp. Back in the day.
Speaker 13: The radio was on the main shelf and the batteries
Speaker 13: you opened up two doors, and the battery bank was
Speaker 13: below it, right directly below it. But this is the
Speaker 13: year WLS in Chicago, WJR, Detroit, and WLW, all of

Speaker 2: come to Ripley. It sounds like I need to figure
Speaker 2: out what to do with that bar, shift in huddles
Speaker 2: and make make our way down fifty two to see
Speaker 2: you guys.
Speaker 1: That sounds fun.
Speaker 17: Huddles with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't, I don't know if you can
Speaker 2: eat huddles, But you're supposed to bring something to eat,
Speaker 2: and I don't recommend eating huddles either, by the way.
Speaker 2: Uh so you got turkey and brisket? Uh, Sherry, are
Speaker 2: you bringing anything?
Speaker 23: I didn't know what was going on, so I'm gonna
Speaker 23: have to scrape up something.
Speaker 19: I think.
Speaker 1: I love a good friend. I love a good friends giving.
Speaker 23: I didn't know about it, No, he did. You know
Speaker 23: why the why the phone was wearing glasses?
Speaker 1: Why the phone was wearing glasses?
Speaker 23: Yeah, it lost all its contacts.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you this, Sherry, it's better than days.
Speaker 21: Absolutely.
Speaker 23: I don't want to know what going off that ear corn.
Speaker 2: I know every time he got through the punchline, his
Speaker 2: phone just took a dump.
Speaker 1: And you couldn't understand the thing he was saying.
Speaker 23: Oh you could understand that.
Speaker 1: No fun, Give me a give me a weather rock report.
Speaker 23: Weather rock report. Well, it's he'll be gloomy and rainy
Speaker 23: and cold, cool, not really fridgid cold, but cool, and
Speaker 23: and maybe it's going get a little better before we
Speaker 23: get the Thanksgiving. But like I heard you say, it's
Speaker 23: going to kind of take a dump after that.
Speaker 2: Well, and yeah, I mean it's the temperature is going
Speaker 2: to fall back down into the lower forties actually, but
Speaker 2: we'll be almost sixty again on Monday, so I'm looking
Speaker 2: forward to the warmer weather, even with the rain. All Right,
Speaker 2: you guys, have a wonderful, a wonderful blessed friends Giving today,
Speaker 2: and happy Thanksgiving when we get there.
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks, you see you guys.
Speaker 2: Darren and the Green Hornet the only two at Brookies
Speaker 2: this morning. Somebody ought to go join him. Darren's got
Speaker 2: the bar open, there's alcohol. Why not? Steve from Etna,
Speaker 2: Ohio in a pithy phone call on the way in
Speaker 2: minutes on the Saturday morning edition on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: Here he is that sage since Sayer.
Speaker 2: And our own our own private columnists radio. But it
Speaker 2: is a column basically a monologue, a take on history
Speaker 2: and life as we know it in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: and he just runs the gamut. I love the pithy
Speaker 2: phone calls, I love news of the week, and I
Speaker 2: love Steve from Etna.
Speaker 1: And here he is. Good morning, Stephen.
Speaker 12: So Gary Jess is what was the most startling stat
Speaker 12: or story to come out of this November election? No,
Speaker 12: it was not Donald Trump's victory because we knew the
Speaker 12: polls were screw up. They become a fraudulent business that
Speaker 12: rivals the corrupt Pennsylvania vote counters in their ability to
Speaker 12: cheat with very little consequences. They'll be right back on
Speaker 12: the job in two years. I think the most startling
Speaker 12: result this month was the fact that about half of
Speaker 12: the people who voted think that the Biden Harris policies
Speaker 12: on immigration, inflation, energy, and foreign relations are okay. I
Speaker 12: chalk that up to the corrupt media and educational systems
Speaker 12: that have brainwashed this nation. The second, oh, there you go.
Speaker 12: The second fact that should dampen our lee is that
Speaker 12: Republicans are desperately trying to hold on to the House.
Speaker 12: The best they can do is a three or four
Speaker 12: seat majority out of four hundred and thirty eight members
Speaker 12: four hundred and thirty five, by.
Speaker 24: The way, get the vote.
Speaker 12: In the Senate, it appears to be a six seat majority.
Speaker 12: Is that really enough to overcome the rhinos who may
Speaker 12: side with the progressives? For folks like myself with long memories,
Speaker 12: we recall Ronald Reagan's first two years not pretty so.
Speaker 12: How do incoming presidents generally do in the first midterm
Speaker 12: election that follows.
Speaker 17: Their victory not very well.
Speaker 12: Let's look at the last ninety years, beginning with FDR
Speaker 12: and his new deal in the midst of the Depression.
Speaker 12: His socialist empire started off great in the thirties. He
Speaker 12: enjoyed over three hundred Democrats in the House most of
Speaker 12: the time, But in nineteen thirty eight, following an economic
Speaker 12: pullback that occurred during what was supposed to be a
Speaker 12: recovery from the Depression, FDR lost eighty one House seats
Speaker 12: and seven more in the Senate. That was his second
Speaker 12: midterm election. The next one for him was nineteen forty two,
Speaker 12: at the start of our involvement in World War Two,
Speaker 12: and eleven months after the disaster at Pearl Harbor, where
Speaker 12: we lost half of our navy, another forty six Democrat
Speaker 12: House members and nine leftist senators bit the dust. More recently,
Speaker 12: significant midterm losses were racked up by Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan,
Speaker 12: and Bill Clinton. Reagan, who won a landslide election in
Speaker 12: nineteen eighty, listened carefully two years later, lost twenty six
Speaker 12: House seats, and Bill Clinton backslid like wise in nineteen
Speaker 12: ninety four, losing a whopping fifty two House seats. How
Speaker 12: about Obama in twenty ten, he lost sixty three House
Speaker 12: seats and his successor, who is this guy?
Speaker 25: Oh?
Speaker 12: Donald Trump lost forty in twenty eighteen. Could he lose
Speaker 12: forty again?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 12: Stop the glee, get off the train. There's a lot
Speaker 12: of Ivory Tower research on why this happens, but I'm
Speaker 12: guessing the federal government government is just too damn big
Speaker 12: and unwieldy, somewhat like trying to start a locomotive pulling
Speaker 12: one hundred and twenty freight cars. Carter, Reagan, and Clinton
Speaker 12: were all X state governors, so they had executive experience,
Speaker 12: yet when they got to DC, they stumbled. The second
Speaker 12: reason is that voters are very impatient. In the army,
Speaker 12: we used to say, what have you done for me? Lately,
Speaker 12: promises unfulfilled, mean votes lost. Notice all the Democrat and
Speaker 12: Republican pundits have now turned to twenty twenty eight, skipping
Speaker 12: the midterm election in twenty twenty six. Well, I gave
Speaker 12: you a good reason why they shouldn't be doing that,
Speaker 12: didn't I? What can we expect in twenty twenty six? Well,
Speaker 12: just look at what happened to Reagan and Clinton, who
Speaker 12: actually survived two terms as president, but lost their first
Speaker 12: midterm congressional elections big time. The answer lies with the
Speaker 12: Speaker of the House in each case, and the greater
Speaker 12: power that man wields in the process. Reagan established a
Speaker 12: much closer relationship with Speaker Tim O'Neal of Massachusetts, since
Speaker 12: they were both Irish and good storytellers. They enjoyed each
Speaker 12: other's company. But Ronald Reagan knew that he had lost
Speaker 12: some of his momentum, and he compromised accordingly. Same with
Speaker 12: Bill Clinton, who now relinquished some of his power to
Speaker 12: fellow Southerner Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, who famously
Speaker 12: resulted in serious moves to overhaul the welfare system, immigration, immigration,
Speaker 12: there's that again, and law enforcement. If Trump loses the
Speaker 12: House in two years, he will have to deal with
Speaker 12: far out lefty Keem Jeffreys. They are both products of
Speaker 12: New York City, which should make this quite interesting. Conservatives
Speaker 12: need to sober up and do a really good reality check,
Speaker 12: and I'll leave you with this. Gary jeff mentioned that
Speaker 12: yesterday was the sixty first anniversary of the assassination of
Speaker 12: John F.
Speaker 8: Kennedy.
Speaker 12: Book suggestion from doctor Dennis of Annapolis, who stopped by
Speaker 12: the house a couple of weeks ago and gave me
Speaker 12: this book, Last Second in Dallas by Josiah Thompson, best
Speaker 12: research ever on the jfk assassination. Get It for a
Speaker 12: Christmas Present for somebody, twenty twenty one, University of Kansas Press.
Speaker 12: That's it for me, Gary, Jeff, take it away.
Speaker 2: Happy Thanksgiving, Steve, Thanks for always being there for I
Speaker 2: really am grateful to Steve Simon from EDNA who calls
Speaker 2: in with a thoughtful monologue every Saturday morning about current events,
Speaker 2: about history and had a little bit of both right there.
Speaker 1: Ray and Loveland, Good morning, my friend.
Speaker 14: Pry and Garius.
Speaker 10: Jeff, how are you brother?
Speaker 26: Happy Thanksgiving to you.
Speaker 2: Happy Thanksgiving to you. It ought to be more than
Speaker 2: one day, you.
Speaker 26: Know, That's right. I just I'm always in awe and
Speaker 26: Steve it's done talking. I'm like, wow, that's just a life.
Speaker 26: I had to go back and read listen to that
Speaker 26: a couple of times, but yeah, I'd listen. I called
Speaker 26: to say Happy Thanksgiving to you, and in my mind
Speaker 26: is Roman this morning thinking about givers and takers in life,
Speaker 26: you know, and if a true accounting be made of
Speaker 26: me I'm probably on the taker's side, but thankfully I'm
Speaker 26: still here so I can work on it. And I'm
Speaker 26: talking to a giver by the way in my life.
Speaker 26: Thank you very much, Gary, Jeff, and my buddy, and
Speaker 26: I appreciate you. A giver to a lot of people.
Speaker 26: And I'm thinking about clergy and coaches. You know, just
Speaker 26: yesterday there was a legend of a man that was
Speaker 26: laid the rest right here in Cleveland, and.
Speaker 24: He was a you know, people who coach teams, and
Speaker 24: thanks think about the sacrifices people make. I mean they
Speaker 24: you know, it's unpaid position, not very well paid. You know,
Speaker 24: it's in the school.
Speaker 26: And I think of all the coaches in my life
Speaker 26: and in my children's lives, and we've been blessed. And
Speaker 26: yesterday Phil McDonald, God bless him, a Vietnam veteran who
Speaker 26: served in a mash unit in Vietnam, in a legendary
Speaker 26: cross country and track coach and friend to many and
Speaker 26: mentor to many, many many. He has finished his race
Speaker 26: and he shall run and not be weary. And God
Speaker 26: bless and God's speed to Phil McDonald. God bless you,
Speaker 26: Gary Jeff, God bless all the givers and the coachers, coaches,
Speaker 26: and in our lives everyone, and may we all do
Speaker 26: the same they God, Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: Both Thanksgiving to you.
Speaker 2: Love that dude, all right, Steve Shulty on the way
Speaker 2: afternoons at seven o'clock. We still have a visit from
Speaker 2: the music professor Prophel being about seven thirty five with
Speaker 2: rock and roll Archaeology.
Speaker 1: We have numerous mo.
Speaker 2: We don't know whether mo Eggar is on the road
Speaker 2: with the basketball bear Cats at Georgia Tech or whether
Speaker 2: he's on the road with the football bear Cats at
Speaker 2: Kansas State. We will find out together in about I
Speaker 2: don't know, an hour and a half or so. It's
Speaker 2: a Saturday Morning edition. Great to be with you on
Speaker 2: this Saturday, November twenty third, twenty twenty four. Back after
Speaker 2: a break on seven hundred WLW into another hour of
Speaker 2: the Saturday Morning edition for this Saturday, November twenty third,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Gary J. F.
Speaker 2: Walker, at your service. Great to be with you as
Speaker 2: always on a Saturday morning. I love our weekends together.
Speaker 2: And one of the things that I really love about it.
Speaker 1: Is when we have.
Speaker 2: Our friends and we've got these constants, these friends that
Speaker 2: are always there for us, like our next guest Steve Shelty,
Speaker 2: retired environmental engineer. Body hasn't retired from this.
Speaker 1: I see tree seventh green.
Speaker 4: Red roses too.
Speaker 18: I've seen them blue from you, and I think to myself,
Speaker 18: what a wonder for.
Speaker 2: It is a wonderful world to talk about, that wonderful
Speaker 2: world and more Steve Schulty, as I mentioned first off,
Speaker 2: mister she Shelty, sorry about your LaSalle Lancers. They finally
Speaker 2: went down in defeat last night after an incredible season.
Speaker 1: Incredible season, yes.
Speaker 22: The twenty eight twenty one. But well, I guess what
Speaker 22: would you expect with a number one and number two
Speaker 22: seed finding each other on.
Speaker 1: The gridiron, no doubt.
Speaker 19: Yeah.
Speaker 22: So we're gonna have a little a little again like
Speaker 22: this week, a little history lesson. This comes from historyfacts
Speaker 22: dot com.
Speaker 10: Uh and uh, you.
Speaker 22: Know, I'll give acknowledgment to a wick Ock who provided
Speaker 22: me this the little ditto a little over four years ago.
Speaker 22: He gave me an opportunity to start in an environmental
Speaker 22: engineering department at Hickson architect Engineers and Mount Adams from
Speaker 22: which I retired five years ago. So, uh, heading is
Speaker 22: the first environmental always passed the thirteen oh six What
Speaker 22: unhealthy air thirteen o six scary Jeff, Wow, well before
Speaker 22: you were born at unhealthy air?
Speaker 17: Yeah, I know the air.
Speaker 22: You feel like a modern problem, or at least a
Speaker 22: post desperate one. But humans have been breathing dirty air
Speaker 22: for a long time, protesting it, and ancient Rome courts
Speaker 22: considered civil claims against people in businesses releasing too much
Speaker 22: smoke and visiting Emperor Justinian declared clean air to be
Speaker 22: a human right. Then the thirteen six King Edward the
Speaker 22: One of England passed what's often called the first environmental
Speaker 22: law when he proclaimed the banning of coal burning. Until
Speaker 22: the twelve mid twelve hundreds, British people burned coal, but
Speaker 22: at cities like London, expanded populations zoom, wood became scarce
Speaker 22: for those who couldn't afford the rising price of firewood
Speaker 22: turned to something readily available what days and those days
Speaker 22: called sea coal. Now we can just notice coal. It's
Speaker 22: unclear why it was called sea coal, but it may
Speaker 22: have had something to do with how Brits could gather
Speaker 22: it from the beaches along the North Sea. So now
Speaker 22: was this coal pretty thick smoke? It had an awful smell,
Speaker 22: but it was also woefully inefficient to furnaces and fireplaces
Speaker 22: needed more coal to produce the same amount heat, leading
Speaker 22: to more smoke and Britain's notorious foggy weather. All that
Speaker 22: smoke created smog. So that's how we got the term smog.
Speaker 22: It's a combination of the smoke and bog. They would
Speaker 22: hang in brit In cities for days at a time.
Speaker 22: The police got so bad in London and twelve eighty
Speaker 22: five commissions were appointed to figure it out to get
Speaker 22: rid of it. But things still got worse, of course,
Speaker 22: and in thirteen oh six King Edward won band the
Speaker 22: burning of coal. Although the King threatened Steve Fine smashed
Speaker 22: and smashed furnaces as punishment, the band didn't have a
Speaker 22: lasting effect on the use of cole in Britain, as
Speaker 22: anyone from who has ever watched Mary Poppins could.
Speaker 1: Tell, yes, exactly.
Speaker 22: Little history lessons I know.
Speaker 2: I honestly, I honestly did not know there were environmental
Speaker 2: laws in the in the twelve and thirteen hundreds.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 22: Also, this real quick thing reported from c Fact at
Speaker 22: that see the letter c fact dot org. At the
Speaker 22: current UN Climate Conference in Ajiba, Jahn say that the
Speaker 22: three times real quick. The UN has estimated that globally
Speaker 22: we are currently spending three trillion dollars. That's three with
Speaker 22: twelve zeros behind it. And just give you an idea
Speaker 22: how big three trillion is? This is another year is
Speaker 22: how many seconds? Is three trillion seconds? Ninety six thousand years?
Speaker 22: The three trillion a year boils down to eight billion.
Speaker 7: Two hundred million dollars.
Speaker 22: Per day are being spent. I call wasted on these boondoggles.
Speaker 22: And again, what's eight billion, two hundred million. It's two
Speaker 22: hundred and sixty two years in terms of seconds. That's
Speaker 22: much older than the Grand USA. And that just tells
Speaker 22: you why science on climate is so so so contaminated
Speaker 22: with politics, bureaucracy and so called science.
Speaker 2: Well maybe that's going to slow down a tad bit.
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm praying and hoping. Thank you very much,
Speaker 2: have a safe trip and happy Thanksgiving. My friend, you
Speaker 2: got it seven to eleven at seven hundred wlw Oh
Speaker 2: let's get physical, shall we? Our friend, fitness trainer biohacker
Speaker 2: Rocco Costellano, had my choice of articles. Roco is very
Speaker 2: prolific at rococostelano dot com. He does about three or
Speaker 2: four different articles, varying subjects a week, sometimes more, I guess.
Speaker 2: So on my pick of why the make American Healthy
Speaker 2: Again movement is vital. I think we all agree America
Speaker 2: could be much healthier, and maybe will be. Cannabis makes
Speaker 2: you leaner, but at what cost? And then this one
Speaker 2: transgender medicine a crime against humanity, which I believe it
Speaker 2: is to talk about that at the aforementioned Roco Costelano,
Speaker 2: Good morning Rock.
Speaker 14: How are you well, Greg, Gary, Jeff, how are you
Speaker 14: doing today?
Speaker 1: I'm doing fine.
Speaker 2: So talk about what you wrote in transgender medicine a
Speaker 2: crime against humanity, which I believe it is.
Speaker 27: Well, everyone, you know, everyone that has half her brain.
Speaker 16: Actually believes that it is a crime, you know, against
Speaker 16: a humanity.
Speaker 27: But you know, and and the people that that, uh, well,
Speaker 27: I believe that it's just an evil, evil thing that
Speaker 27: people you know that the Dutch started back in the
Speaker 27: nineties and now has brought it all the way to
Speaker 27: the United States. But it's not just a scientific it's
Speaker 27: not just a medical intervention.
Speaker 16: It's a moral it's a moral imperative that I believe
Speaker 16: has us.
Speaker 27: Uh, I've made people insane and we have to we
Speaker 27: we as a society.
Speaker 16: As adults, we have a moral imperative too to actually
Speaker 16: protect our children. And this does not do any any
Speaker 16: of that. We're talking about doing life saving uh you know,
Speaker 16: a medical interventions, but giving kids puberty blockers, Uh that
Speaker 16: are that are disgusting, They're just disgusting, and uh, you know,
Speaker 16: medications and then doing doing something like irreversible surgeries. You're
Speaker 16: you're you're actually doing doing incredible harm to children and
Speaker 16: then you.
Speaker 27: You wrap it or you frame it as life saving
Speaker 27: or a gender affirming care in a child that we're
Speaker 27: not protecting children whatsoever.
Speaker 16: Can find out we find out.
Speaker 27: Later in life, and we haven't done any any type
Speaker 27: of like studies, and no one's you know, everyone wants
Speaker 27: to say, oh.
Speaker 8: Well, well we have to listen to the science.
Speaker 16: So in the in the short term so far, listening
Speaker 16: to the science says that this actually causes more more damage,
Speaker 16: more psychological damage. And we know, we know at least
Speaker 16: from from other studies that are out there, that that
Speaker 16: eighty percent of the people that have you know, like
Speaker 16: the kids I mean that have our gender dysphoria get
Speaker 16: through it.
Speaker 27: Through natural puberty.
Speaker 16: And then the other you know, like ten to twenty
Speaker 16: percent are then are then become like homosexual.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you know what and all of that
Speaker 2: is as as you mentioned in your article, it's it's
Speaker 2: anti human it's anti humanity.
Speaker 27: It's absolutely anti and.
Speaker 2: And the bottom line and we gotta we gotta roll.
Speaker 2: But the bottom line is, if you want to listen
Speaker 2: to the science, xx is x x and x y
Speaker 2: is x y, and you can take all the blockers,
Speaker 2: you can perform all the surgeries you want to, you
Speaker 2: do not change the chromosomes. And that, my friends, is
Speaker 2: real science. Thank you, Rococostelano dot com. If you'd like
Speaker 2: to check out more now timed for the Tom Davis Diaries.
Speaker 2: I refer to this as the diary of a madman,
Speaker 2: and here is that madman with wild, wacky stories from
Speaker 2: around the country and around the world.
Speaker 1: Tom Davis, Good morning, Gary, Jeff.
Speaker 28: This week John Mellencamp said it best play guitar, But first,
Speaker 28: it was an interesting meeting in London by two of
Speaker 28: the world's most unique people. Romisa Gelgi, the world's tallest woman,
Speaker 28: had tea with Geoti Amgi, the world's shortest woman. The
Speaker 28: difference between the two, well, one is seven foot one
Speaker 28: while the other is two foot one. They say they
Speaker 28: had a nice lunch where they talked about makeup, skincare
Speaker 28: and manicures. A guy on YouTube says he's come up
Speaker 28: with the cure for dandruff, not washing your hair. He
Speaker 28: says that he hasn't washed his hair in eight years
Speaker 28: and as dandriff is gone, as well as his chronic
Speaker 28: scalp conditions, they've all stopped.
Speaker 1: But all is not well in the world of scalps.
Speaker 28: Head and shoulders is speaking up, saying that some hair
Speaker 28: requires shampoo to be its best. Meanwhile, Simon English of Beverly,
Speaker 28: England is doing all he can to get the flesh
Speaker 28: eating disease off his but but so far, he spent
Speaker 28: four weeks in the hospital and undergone four surgeries after
Speaker 28: his butt cheek was infected. Luckily, doctors are expecting him
Speaker 28: to make a full recovery. And finally, keeping with a
Speaker 28: medical theme, Colin Miller was busy playing his guitar while
Speaker 28: doctors performed brain surgery on him. He stayed awake and
Speaker 28: kept himself busy for eight hours during the operation. He
Speaker 28: chose to stay awake to avoid losing mobility in his
Speaker 28: hands and fingers. He's now fundraising for brain timor research
Speaker 28: next week, playing grounded for four days after one hundred
Speaker 28: and thirty two hamsters escaped the cargo.
Speaker 1: Hold, have a great weekend.
Speaker 2: It's rock and roll archaeology, and it feels like the
Speaker 2: first time.
Speaker 6: I would climb in a mountain.
Speaker 1: Sail across the stone. You see.
Speaker 6: If that's what it takes me, baby.
Speaker 29: To show how much you mean to me, then I
Speaker 29: guess it's just the woman in you.
Speaker 3: It brings up the man in me.
Speaker 4: I know, I can't help myself.
Speaker 30: You're out in the world me. It feels like the
Speaker 30: first side, feels like the baby, It feels like the
Speaker 30: first time.
Speaker 2: I will always remember the first time I heard Lou
Speaker 2: Graham and Foreigner. That was the song that launched that
Speaker 2: great rock and roll ship on its journey. And as
Speaker 2: we begin rock and roll archaeology, Jim Lebarbara, the music professor.
Speaker 1: Had another song in mind.
Speaker 2: We didn't go there, but I wanted to do this
Speaker 2: just because I wanted to relate this story. Jim, you
Speaker 2: always have such great stories about the groups and the
Speaker 2: people involved.
Speaker 1: In the songs.
Speaker 2: My Foreigner story is the story of that group they
Speaker 2: had been banging their heads against a wall literally and
Speaker 2: figuratively for a while trying to get noticed by a
Speaker 2: record company. And they'd sent their demos in and hadn't
Speaker 2: got any response. Nobody had shown any interest until the
Speaker 2: group sent Lou Graham, who became their lead singer's demo
Speaker 2: that he cut for them into the record company. And
Speaker 2: that's how Foreigner got signed by Atlantic Records on the
Speaker 2: basis on the strength of Lou Graham's demo your thoughts.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's interesting because Mick Jones was looking for he
Speaker 8: had this group together and he was looking for a
Speaker 8: lead printer and actually had asked the tapes. He was
Speaker 8: looking for tapes, and he had about fifty audition tapes
Speaker 8: that he had and the first time he heard the
Speaker 8: tape you're talking about, it blew him away, and he said,
Speaker 8: this is the guy I wants. This is the guy
Speaker 8: I want.
Speaker 10: This is it?
Speaker 8: So that that's that tape that got a new job,
Speaker 8: initially with a band and then with the record label.
Speaker 8: It's a great story. I didn't know that I knew
Speaker 8: about the tapes that that Mick got for Lou Graham,
Speaker 8: but I didn't know that that's the basis for the contract.
Speaker 8: Then became a big hit and this week was interested
Speaker 8: in nineteen eighty one. This week forourner had waiting for
Speaker 8: a Girl Like You. It was in the top five.
Speaker 8: It was at number two, but installed there, installed at
Speaker 8: number two like no other record did for like ten weeks,
Speaker 8: never hit number one, never got the money.
Speaker 2: Next on our list the piano man Billy Joel from
Speaker 2: the fifty second Street album what do You Got on this?
Speaker 8: Yeah, this album, This album hit number one this week
Speaker 8: in nineteen seventy eight, and the song It's interesting this song,
Speaker 8: if you listen to it, Chicago members Peter Setera and
Speaker 8: Donnie Dakas are doing the very pleasing high harmonies backing
Speaker 8: vocals for Joel.
Speaker 1: On this record.
Speaker 8: And the verse closed, the shop, sold the house, bought
Speaker 8: a ticket to the West Coast. Now he gives them
Speaker 8: a stand up routine. In La refers to a comedian
Speaker 8: friend of his first somebody said it was about Richard Lewis.
Speaker 8: He said, no, no, no, it's about his buddy Tony Lawrence.
Speaker 8: And he said, basically, this is about people who are
Speaker 8: making this transition in their life, moving out of a
Speaker 8: supposed what that they think they were in and they're
Speaker 8: moving on, and the song, of course, became a theme song.
Speaker 8: It was about asserting your independence. It was a perfect
Speaker 8: theme song for the nineteen eighty television sitcom was budd
Speaker 8: He's the one that induced a lot of us to
Speaker 8: Tom Hanks and address we're talking about my life.
Speaker 6: Gonna call from no Vanwise to the real bos said

Speaker 14: Miami in Florida.
Speaker 8: Had a little band in college, went to Los Angeles,
Speaker 8: was a member of Ambrosia on their last album and
Speaker 8: toured Rashina. Easton was a songwriter working as a staff writer,
Speaker 8: no luck, and then he decided to do a demo
Speaker 8: songs in his own style and a bunch of record
Speaker 8: labels RAPHAM and decided with RCA. They offered him a
Speaker 8: creative freedom contract and he said that's it. Then he
Speaker 8: rewarded them with a giant hit record. Now, this is
Speaker 8: a song that deals with civil rights, the civil rights
Speaker 8: movement in the United States. That line in the lyrics
Speaker 8: mentions the law passed in sixty four. A's the civil
Speaker 8: rights answer of nineteen sixty four. And the song is
Speaker 8: Residents through the ages, the light and melodic piano rift
Speaker 8: and the listener and provoking lyrics and talking about social
Speaker 8: insues that have unfortunately stood the test of time. When
Speaker 8: we're talking about his number one record, the way it is.
Speaker 1: The signature sound at Bruce Hornson.
Speaker 2: You hear the piano, you hear the drums, you know
Speaker 2: it's a Bruce Hornsby record.
Speaker 6: Stand in line, bucking time, leading ball of the din

Speaker 1: That's just the way it is.
Speaker 10: How but don't you believe?
Speaker 5: Then said, hey, little though you can't go where the
Speaker 5: others called.
Speaker 4: But you don't look like they.
Speaker 10: Said.
Speaker 5: Hell man, how can you stand and think that way?
Speaker 7: Did you really think about it.
Speaker 1: Before you made the bloods? That's just the way it is.
Speaker 4: Some things have never change. That's just the way it.
Speaker 1: How but don't you believe? Don't you believe?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So, November twenty second, nineteen sixty three, a day that
Speaker 2: many said was the day that America lost its innocence
Speaker 2: in the twentieth century, when John F. Kennedy was assassinated
Speaker 2: in Dallas, Texas, the President of the United States, and
Speaker 2: we all found out that he had been slain. The
Speaker 2: controversy has twisted on and on and on and meandered
Speaker 2: through conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory about who really killed Kennedy.
Speaker 2: And we may never know, But the fact is it happened,
Speaker 2: and it was part of the inspiration, along with other
Speaker 2: big heartbreaking events that happened in the decade of the sixties,
Speaker 2: for this song to be written and wound up being
Speaker 2: an enduring hit. Jim A last on our list today.
Speaker 2: What do we got?
Speaker 8: Well, I'll see you. I was sixty one years ago,
Speaker 8: and it doesn't seem like that long. I can remember
Speaker 8: exactly what happened for me. I was on the radio.
Speaker 8: I just graduated Mallogany College in Mayville. Was my first
Speaker 8: full time job as a disc jockey. I was in
Speaker 8: du Bois, Pennsylvania, and I was on the air and Teresa,
Speaker 8: a receptionist, came into the studio and she was crying
Speaker 8: and shouldn't talk. She couldn't even talk, and she kept
Speaker 8: mostly so I went to the wire machine and there
Speaker 8: were three different takes. The presidents, John Kenner has been shot,
Speaker 8: the guy that they mistaken and typed it again, and
Speaker 8: then they finally typed it again and we were just shocked.
Speaker 8: We just stood there shocked and went into just playing
Speaker 8: instrumentals like Percy Faith on the radio. It was such
Speaker 8: a defining time in our history. But we were lucky
Speaker 8: we had CBS radio there, so we had we had
Speaker 8: good coverage of us. And then and then five years later,
Speaker 8: Dick Caller, who was a songwriter, he'd written things like
Speaker 8: Snoopy and know had Baron well, he wrote this song
Speaker 8: and he was auditioning singers down in Florida and Dion
Speaker 8: who was recovering from heroin heroin addiction, who was a
Speaker 8: heroin addict, just a mess and just getting clean, getting clean,
Speaker 8: and he had Can sing a demo and loved it.
Speaker 8: And so this was a record that after five years
Speaker 8: brought Deon back in the smartlight. And the Dick Hartle
Speaker 8: song combines the passion and poignancy and the reflection and
Speaker 8: the three elements of there in this song Abraham Martin
Speaker 8: and John about Abraham Lincoln Martin, Luther King Junior, and
Speaker 8: John Kennedy mentions Bobby. But this is a song that
Speaker 8: I think about John F. Kennedy and yesterday's events. This
Speaker 8: is a song I think about Abraham Mightin and John
Speaker 8: the on the.
Speaker 2: Thanks Brop and we will let this play out as
Speaker 2: once again we recall those who were taken from us
Speaker 2: and what it may still mean now in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2: here in a few minutes right now, Science Mike.
Speaker 20: Yes, as a nice scientists surprising all blinding me.
Speaker 2: Michael, I've got to confess something to you. I almost
Speaker 2: fell asleep during the news. I woke up just in
Speaker 2: time to hear the sounder go off that. Oh well,
Speaker 2: I guess that means I'm on the air again.
Speaker 14: Are you having sleep issues at night?
Speaker 2: No, it just happens sometimes it's early. I'm awake now
Speaker 2: that's all that matters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've done that at work? Means what's going on?
Speaker 14: Before we get to the topic. We had some notable
Speaker 14: are we have we gonna word this. Resignations are retiring,
Speaker 14: but two people retired this past week and Seltzer retired.
Speaker 14: Uh remember we talked about her a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: The polster who got IOWA was so wrong.
Speaker 14: Yeah, she decided to to hang it up and she
Speaker 14: said it's been playing. She's been planning for a year
Speaker 14: or so. But uh yeah, just thrown it out there, okay.
Speaker 14: And the the other person is the editor of Scientific America,
Speaker 14: Laura Helmuth. You may and I don't want to get
Speaker 14: into anything with her, but she was pretty outspoken on
Speaker 14: certain issues. Let's just leave it at that. As far
Speaker 14: as some of her comments on Twitter and and turned
Speaker 14: to Scientific America was used to be a good magazine
Speaker 14: for science into a more of a political wind bag
Speaker 14: type of.
Speaker 1: Publication propaganda rag.
Speaker 14: Yeah yeah, But anyhow to the topic at hand, This
Speaker 14: just came across routers Gary Jeff about a half hour
Speaker 14: ago out of the COP twenty nine climate meetings.
Speaker 10: They're having an Alzerbajan.
Speaker 14: Yes, they're seeing that the countries that they some of
Speaker 14: the wealthy country offered two hundred and fifty billion dollars
Speaker 14: per year to help them and their climate struggles as
Speaker 14: far as the climate issues are having with their cut.
Speaker 14: I don't know exactly how they've sparse this out or
Speaker 14: determined who's going to get what, but the two hundred
Speaker 14: and fifty billion was termed willfully insufficient by developing countries,
Speaker 14: so they have to carry the conference.
Speaker 10: On a little bit longer.
Speaker 14: And they have finally agreed on the EU and US
Speaker 14: and Australians the wealthy countries to a target of having
Speaker 14: three hundred billion dollars per year for climate cliling funding
Speaker 14: by twenty thirty five, and they're pushing for three hundred
Speaker 14: and ninety billion dollars per year. That's their goal.
Speaker 1: But I hope. I hope where they're going to agree
Speaker 1: in the middle. I hope Trump pulls us out of this.
Speaker 31: Well, you know, I don't know what it's going to
Speaker 31: be spent on. Don't have any idea, but my gosh,
Speaker 31: you know we're we're good. We got we got no debt,
Speaker 31: We're ready ready to fork it over.
Speaker 2: So yeah, only thirty six trillion in debt already. What's
Speaker 2: another three hundred and ninety billion into some third world
Speaker 2: country so they can have a solar panel installed.
Speaker 14: Well, I don't know how it's going to be spent,
Speaker 14: and I don't be found. I just thought we're Boeing
Speaker 14: overcharged the government for on the sea one thirty planes.
Speaker 14: They overcharged in five million dollars for simple like hand
Speaker 14: soap dispensers for the planes anyhow.
Speaker 1: So that's I'm sorry, I'm speechless.
Speaker 9: I just.
Speaker 1: You know, there there is there is good work.
Speaker 2: That can be done by the veak Ramaswami and Elon
Speaker 2: Musk and they need to get to it right now.
Speaker 14: There's plenty of apples to pick up off the ground,
Speaker 14: Isn't there no.
Speaker 2: Doubt about it? All right, Michael, thank you, have a

Speaker 32: I didn't complain about I thank god, co Gary, we

Speaker 1: And happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: This guy i've exchanged emails with, we we've talked on
Speaker 2: the air before, and we're going to talk this morning.
Speaker 2: His name is Bill McGrain, and there's a special event
Speaker 2: coming up next weekend, not this weekend, but he wanted
Speaker 2: to let everybody know about.
Speaker 1: So that is the purpose of this phone called Bill McGrain.
Speaker 1: Good morning.
Speaker 16: How are you hello, Gary, Jeff, I'm doing great.
Speaker 22: My wife Linda McGrain is on the phone with us
Speaker 22: as well.
Speaker 10: She's a part of this event.
Speaker 2: All right, good good morning Linda. So tell me what
Speaker 2: the event is, where it is and why you think
Speaker 2: it can help some people.
Speaker 25: Well, it's called Kingdom Life Beyond Imagination Conference and this
Speaker 25: is to happen on Friday evening, November twenty ninth at
Speaker 25: seven fourteen and then on Saturday all day Saturday, November thirtieth,
Speaker 25: from nine am to five pm at.
Speaker 10: Heritage Fellowship Church.
Speaker 33: And we are hosting this event at Heritage because doctor
Speaker 33: Alex Lloyd, who is a individual that is going to
Speaker 33: be sharing principles about healing the root issues of any
Speaker 33: issue that people have, and Linda's going to share about
Speaker 33: that in a minute, and then Linda and I are
Speaker 33: going to be talking about restoring marriages and relationships. So
Speaker 33: this is about healing and relationships and if people want
Speaker 33: to have career and business success, we're also going to
Speaker 33: be talking about those kinds of things as well.
Speaker 34: So I'm excited about having doctor Lloyd here at Heritage
Speaker 34: because it's an amazing opportunity. This is a PhD psychologist
Speaker 34: who is also a natural pathic physician, and he has
Speaker 34: gotten twenty three or twenty five double blind studies from
Speaker 34: top universities showing that his process that was given to
Speaker 34: him by God because of the circumstances that his wife
Speaker 34: was in in severe depression and the Lord gave him
Speaker 34: this on a flight flying home from a red eye
Speaker 34: to help stop what was possible suicide. And so when
Speaker 34: the Lord gave him this, he now has spent thirty
Speaker 34: years researching it. And it's just incredible what the Lord
Speaker 34: gave him because it will immediately take out depression, anxiety, grief,
Speaker 34: anger or fear, are like rejection or any of the
Speaker 34: physical issues. It's been proven to cure cancer, breast cancer,
Speaker 34: skin cancer, has proven to heal any bodily issues. So
Speaker 34: whatever system is like heart system, circulatory system, the muscular system, bone,
Speaker 34: any autoimmune diseases, it's like an incredible opportunity. But my
Speaker 34: very favorite part is that he also has a test
Speaker 34: called True You, and this test normally costs one hundred dollars.
Speaker 34: He is giving it to anyone that signs up. This
Speaker 34: is a free thing, but the whole event is free.
Speaker 34: But he's giving us his test and the True You
Speaker 34: he will give you. When you get this test back,
Speaker 34: you will be able to see where the lies of
Speaker 34: the enemy are taking you out from who God says
Speaker 34: you are and instead of who other people say you are, are,
Speaker 34: instead of the devil whispering in your ear, who you
Speaker 34: think you are, and that's incredible because if you happen
Speaker 34: an anointing and an appointing by God to move forward.
Speaker 34: This is the time, this is the season, and we
Speaker 34: can't afford to be hindered by the enemy. And so
Speaker 34: he he goes in and shows you how to get
Speaker 34: rid of that so that you can walk in your
Speaker 34: appointed plan by God and who you are, and and
Speaker 34: keep the flow of the Holy Spirit instead of moving
Speaker 34: in and out into our flesh and out into into
Speaker 34: our spirit.
Speaker 16: Right.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is Heritage Fellowship Church, which is where guys
Speaker 2: real quickly and.
Speaker 10: In Florence, Kentucky. It's free and they can register online
Speaker 10: at McGrain dot com mc g R A n E
Speaker 10: dot com. And when they go there, they'll see a
Speaker 10: little picture that says Kingdom Life. They click on that
Speaker 10: and they'll register for free, and then they'll get the
Speaker 10: downloads of this free test that she was talking about
Speaker 10: and some printouts that they'll bring with them when they
Speaker 10: attend the event at Heritage Fellowship Church in Florence, Kentucky.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, if you've got time, we'll we'll
Speaker 2: talk about this again on Tuesday Night's nightcap.
Speaker 1: We'll we'll make arrangements to let people know about this again.
Speaker 2: Bill and Linda McGrain, thank you so much for spreading
Speaker 2: the word and getting the word out there. And I'm
Speaker 2: glad to be a conduit for that.
Speaker 25: I thank you.
Speaker 10: We appreciate the opportunity, all.
Speaker 1: Right, thank you so much. Guys. A breaking back it's
Speaker 1: coming up on eight twenty one. Gold Morning Kids Time
Speaker 1: Will gives from Wally will you marry me?
Speaker 2: Two elderly people living out there golden years in a
Speaker 2: Florida mobile home park. He a widower, she a widow.
Speaker 2: They'd known one another for a number of years now,
Speaker 2: and one evening there's a community supper in the big
Speaker 2: activity center. The two are at the same table, across
Speaker 2: from one another. As the meal goes on, he makes
Speaker 2: a few admiring glances at her and finally gathers up
Speaker 2: his courage to ask her, will you marry me? After
Speaker 2: a dramatic pause and precisely six seconds of careful consideration,
Speaker 2: she answers yes, Yes I will. The meal in with
Speaker 2: a few more pleasant exchanges, and they went to their
Speaker 2: respective places. The next morning. He couldn't remember did she
Speaker 2: say yes or did she say no? He couldn't remember.
Speaker 2: Try as he might, he couldn't recall, not even a
Speaker 2: faint memory. With great trepidation, he went to the telephone
Speaker 2: to call her. First, he explained to her that he
Speaker 2: didn't remember as well as he used to, And then
Speaker 2: he reviewed the lovely evening that they spent together, and
Speaker 2: he gained a little bit more courage. He finally inquired, ever,
Speaker 2: when I ask you if you would marry me, did
Speaker 2: you say that yes you would? Or did you say no?
Speaker 2: He was delighted to hear her say back on the line,
Speaker 2: why I said yes, yes I will, and I meant
Speaker 2: it with all my heart. And then she continued, and
Speaker 2: I'm so glad that you called, because I couldn't remember
Speaker 2: who'd asked me.
Speaker 35: Seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati, available everywhere with the iHeartRadio app
Speaker 35: now number one for podcasting. Seven hundred w l W
Speaker 35: and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1: We all hear the radio ads about the I R s.
Speaker 1: They tell you to be afraid, to be scared, and
Speaker 1: they try to frighten you into calling.
Speaker 18: On road again.
Speaker 1: Just can't wait to get on the road again.
Speaker 2: He can't get he can't wait to get on the
Speaker 2: road music with my friend. You got to stay on
Speaker 2: the road, Mogar and it's not where's Waldo, it's where's Mo?
Speaker 1: This week?
Speaker 12: Hey Mo?
Speaker 1: Where are you?
Speaker 10: Atlanta, Georgia?
Speaker 1: Ah, you're there for the Georgia Tech U see basketball game?
Speaker 10: Yes, sir, two o'clock this afternoon.
Speaker 1: Fantastic. So you missed the trip to to Manhattan, Kansas.
Speaker 10: I did?
Speaker 1: You wouldn't say I missed it, you poor guy.
Speaker 8: I hear.
Speaker 1: It's a real garden spot, Manhattan, Kansas.
Speaker 10: I've not been in the original plan obviously was to
Speaker 10: go this year. Then the basketball schedule came out and
Speaker 10: basketball to priority. I guess they never had to Manhattan
Speaker 10: one day.
Speaker 2: I never have been much of a fan of Atlanta.
Speaker 2: I mean even I lived in that area in the
Speaker 2: early eighties. I lived just north of there in Chattanooga,
Speaker 2: and Atlanta was just a you know, a hop skip
Speaker 2: and a stone throw away. But the traffic and everything
Speaker 2: about it, it just has all of the big city
Speaker 2: accoutermol with better weather. I get your thoughts on Atlanta, and.
Speaker 1: In fact, heaven's you had, good, good good.
Speaker 10: I haven't spent a ton of time in Atlanta. This
Speaker 10: is probably, I think, maybe the fourth time that I
Speaker 10: have been here. I've never had a bad time here.
Speaker 10: Brave Stadium is really cool. Went there for a couple
Speaker 10: of games in twenty nineteen. That's a pretty cool place.
Speaker 10: Came here for a basketball tournament in twenty thirteen at
Speaker 10: the Georgia Dome, which was not very good. Came here
Speaker 10: for the Peach Bowl a few years ago when UC
Speaker 10: was in it. That was pretty cool. And enjoyed myself
Speaker 10: in Atlanta last night. But it's not a city I've
Speaker 10: spent a ton of time in. My experiences haven't been unpleasant,
Speaker 10: but I've heard a lot of folks describe it the
Speaker 10: same way you did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just kind of, you know, it's and it
Speaker 2: kind of like after watching a TV commercial, I'm not
Speaker 2: going to buy a Jaguar. But and I thought about it,
Speaker 2: the big controversy over the Jaguar TV commercial, and I thought,
Speaker 2: you know, even before the commercial, I wasn't going to
Speaker 2: buy a Jaguar. And I've known people who owned Jaguars
Speaker 2: and I would never own a Jaguar. I had a
Speaker 2: guy who had a sixty six, a classic jag and
Speaker 2: it broke down. It was in the it was in
Speaker 2: the shop for three and a half years.
Speaker 1: I did you know, you know, the.
Speaker 10: Late Jim Scott owned drove a Jaguar. He did commercials
Speaker 10: for a Jaguar dealership and when the radio station was
Speaker 10: in Mount Adams. The only time Jim, when I worked
Speaker 10: with him, was was late for his show was when
Speaker 10: he couldn't get the jaguar up the hill right, so
Speaker 10: somebody had to go and get him. And I don't
Speaker 10: recall what we did start the show. I think I
Speaker 10: think maybe Rich Wahlberg went on and sold the time,
Speaker 10: so Jim got there maybe twenty minutes late, and again
Speaker 10: he was doing commercials for a Jaguar dealership. He proceeds
Speaker 10: to go on the air and talk about how bad
Speaker 10: the jaguar was in the snow. He couldn't get up
Speaker 10: the hill, that's why he was late. I said. I
Speaker 10: looked at him, and I said, do I cross that
Speaker 10: one off the log? Is that the commercial for today?
Speaker 10: Or are we doing that later? So when I think
Speaker 10: of Jaguars, that's what I think.
Speaker 2: You think, Well, I'd rather think of that than this
Speaker 2: weird TV commercial. Anyway, back to sports and traveling, I've
Speaker 2: always kind of wanted to ask you about favorite spots
Speaker 2: and if you will dish and and throw some shade
Speaker 2: on places that you really hated to go. Is is
Speaker 2: there a place you will call out right now and go.
Speaker 2: I had the worst experience on the road in this place,
Speaker 2: and I hope I never have to go back.
Speaker 10: Connecticut.
Speaker 1: Connecticut, Connecticut, you see.
Speaker 10: So part of it's not Connecticut's fault, but the Bearcats
Speaker 10: when they were in the Big East and then in
Speaker 10: the American Athletic Conference with Connecticut, uh, they would it
Speaker 10: felt like every time they would play Yukon and football
Speaker 10: in Hartford, it was always late November, so you're not
Speaker 10: getting a lot of daylight anyway, especially on the East
Speaker 10: coast right that the sun doris go down a little
Speaker 10: bit earlier on the East coast and it does the
Speaker 10: western part of the Eastern time zone. So first of all,
Speaker 10: the football stadium was terrible. I've been to Connecticut maybe
Speaker 10: a dozen times. I've never seen the sun. I've I've
Speaker 10: never seen my shadow because the sun has never come out.
Speaker 10: It's always cloudy, dank, dark. We've always stayed in Hartford,
Speaker 10: which doesn't ever feel like there's anything to do there.
Speaker 10: I've seen some really bad games, So that would be
Speaker 10: probably the first place. I'd also probably put Syracuse in
Speaker 10: that category, although I have had a good meal in Syracuse.
Speaker 10: You know, when you see it was in the Big
Speaker 10: East with Syracuse. We played there a lot. I never
Speaker 10: saw the sun come out there. So those are places
Speaker 10: that stand out as spots that I didn't really like.
Speaker 10: I'm trying to think of others of other places that
Speaker 10: jump off.
Speaker 1: The page, just kind of.
Speaker 10: Yeah. M you know, the lack of nightlife in Provo,
Speaker 10: Utah made it not so fun. But it is a
Speaker 10: beautiful place at the stadium the BYU played and.
Speaker 1: It's it's Utah. What'd you expect Falt Lake City fun?
Speaker 10: You know, I was in Salt Lake City. There's a
Speaker 10: lot there, but uh.
Speaker 2: More more Mormons, more, more and more more Mormons in
Speaker 2: Provo probably.
Speaker 10: Uh yeah. And the rules about getting an alcoholic beverage
Speaker 10: in Provo have been loosened since the first time I
Speaker 10: went there, But the first time I went, you know, uh,
Speaker 10: kind of hard to have a really good time the
Speaker 10: night before the game. But it is a really, really
Speaker 10: pretty place.
Speaker 1: Somebody told me. Somebody told me mo that used to
Speaker 1: be in Utah.
Speaker 2: If you'd go to a bar, they they would only
Speaker 2: serve you like an airplane bottle of booze at a time,
Speaker 2: and and it wasn't even out on the bar.
Speaker 1: They had go get it, like yeah, you know.
Speaker 10: The first time I was in Provo, it was twenty
Speaker 10: fifteen and I was with Tony Pike and we were
Speaker 10: there for a game and we went and found I
Speaker 10: think it's really weird how they do it. They have bars,
Speaker 10: and they have restaurants, and each one of them has
Speaker 10: to have a sign outside telling you what it is.
Speaker 10: And so we went to get something to eat and
Speaker 10: we ordered beers, and they they make you get food first,
Speaker 10: essentially to prove that you're eating before they give you
Speaker 10: a beer. And then we went to the one bar
Speaker 10: in Provo and the beer they would sell was three
Speaker 10: to two beer, okay, right that you know, eighteen year
Speaker 10: olds were allowed to drink back in the day. And
Speaker 10: then if you, let's say you had like you know,
Speaker 10: you're a bartender, somebody has like you know, maybe two
Speaker 10: inches of beer left in the bottle, and they'll say,
Speaker 10: you know, go ahead and give me another. They won't
Speaker 10: get you another until the bottle is totally empty. When
Speaker 10: the bar closed, they put all the booze under lock
Speaker 10: and key it's something. It's something, and again, you know,
Speaker 10: I respect everybody's beliefs. You know, it is what it is.
Speaker 10: But if you want to go and have a good time,
Speaker 10: not the greatest place to be.
Speaker 2: So you're in Atlanta for the UC Georgia Tech basketball game.
Speaker 2: Tell me about the Yellowjackets and how they stack up
Speaker 2: against the Bearcats real quickly.
Speaker 10: Well, Damon Stodomeier is the coach, one of I think
Speaker 10: nineteen coaches right now in Division one basketball who played
Speaker 10: in the NBA the nineteen ninety six NBA Rookie of
Speaker 10: the Year. Has a team that gave up one hundred
Speaker 10: and five points to North Florida. Georgia Tech is two
Speaker 10: and two. They've lost two games obviously this season. One
Speaker 10: was the Georgia but the other was that game where
Speaker 10: they gave him one hundred and five points. And so
Speaker 10: the first thing you think about is can you see
Speaker 10: exploit what they don't do defensively? The Bearcats have a
Speaker 10: good offensive team. I think if Wes Miller was honest
Speaker 10: and he was with us in the game show the
Speaker 10: other night, I think he would express some concern about
Speaker 10: how his team defended against NKU and how the Norris
Speaker 10: were even on the boards with them. But you know,
Speaker 10: I like this UC team a lot because of their
Speaker 10: offensive weaponry. They're one of the best outside shooting teams
Speaker 10: so far early in the season in college basketball, and
Speaker 10: Georgia Tech at this point has not been very good
Speaker 10: at stopping outside shooting and stopping teams from getting to
Speaker 10: the rim, and those are two things the Bearcats have
Speaker 10: done very well.
Speaker 1: Will you miss Jonathan India's hair?
Speaker 8: Sure?
Speaker 10: Yeah, Jonathan India had a really nice four year run
Speaker 10: in Cincinnati. But the Reds need starting pitchers who have
Speaker 10: started and completed big league seasons without interruption, and they
Speaker 10: acquired one last night.
Speaker 2: Brady Singer had a three point seven to two ERRA
Speaker 2: last season, which isn't bad for a starting pitcher in
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. Tell me something else about Brady Singer
Speaker 2: we ought to know as Red's fans as we look
Speaker 2: forward to the twenty twenty five season.
Speaker 10: So, Jonathan India was the National League Rookie of the
Speaker 10: Year in twenty twenty one, which is great, well deserved.
Speaker 10: Brady Singer got Rookie of the Year votes in twenty
Speaker 10: twenty He has been durable and you know, I think
Speaker 10: in an ideal world, Brady's singer is in the middle
Speaker 10: of the rotation, right because Hunter Green is really good
Speaker 10: and really healthy this year, and Andrew Abbott is healthy
Speaker 10: this season, and Nikola Dolo is healthy this season. But
Speaker 10: you know, if you take Nick Martinez out of the equation,
Speaker 10: the Reds didn't have a starting pitcher that you would
Speaker 10: project for twenty twenty five who has avoided the injured list.
Speaker 10: Everybody has gotten hurt at some point, Abbot, Ashcraft, Udolo Green,
Speaker 10: you know, Brandon Williamson. This is a rotation that is
Speaker 10: marked with a lot of upside and a lot of talent,
Speaker 10: but unfortunately a lot of guys who just haven't been
Speaker 10: able to stay healthy, and so the Reds put a
Speaker 10: premium on getting a guy who has done that. He
Speaker 10: got through five innings and thirty of his thirty two starts.
Speaker 10: Now that might not sound much, but the way the
Speaker 10: game has played these days, five innings in twenty twenty
Speaker 10: four is like seven innings in two thousand and four.
Speaker 10: So he's been durable, he's gotten deep into games, and
Speaker 10: he's pitched well. So it's a good acquisition. I think
Speaker 10: the thing now this offseason is to find out how
Speaker 10: and when and with whom the Reds are going to
Speaker 10: get an outfield back. Because if we were to jot
Speaker 10: down a list of team needs going into the offseason,
Speaker 10: I still feel like that would have been at the
Speaker 10: top of the list. They need some power in the
Speaker 10: outfield because they didn't have much last year. How do
Speaker 10: they get at this offseason right now is to me
Speaker 10: the biggest.
Speaker 2: Storyline, and Matt McClain being healthy is crucial too now
Speaker 2: that India's gone there in the infield, we have got
Speaker 2: two NFL games since Bengals bye week tomorrow here on
Speaker 2: the big one. We've got Dallas at Washington and San
Speaker 2: Francisco at Green Bay that we are going to air
Speaker 2: since there are no Bengals games. I predict the Commanders
Speaker 2: get well against the Cowboys, who are just woeful, and
Speaker 2: I predict that Green Bay wins at home against the
Speaker 2: San Francisco team that does not have Rock Party and
Speaker 2: Nick Boson what do you think?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think the brock Party injury changes things for
Speaker 10: me just a little bit. I think what's interesting about
Speaker 10: that game is is Jordan Love has thrown a pick
Speaker 10: in every game that he is starting. Yeah, and so
Speaker 10: this is likely to be close. Does that end up
Speaker 10: being the difference. And to me, you have to just
Speaker 10: really good fun, elite play calling coaches and Matt Laflora
Speaker 10: and Kyle Shanahan. But yeah, I think you have to
Speaker 10: give Green Bay the edge and then you know, you
Speaker 10: talk about a disaster. The Dallas Cowboys be just an
Speaker 10: absolute mess. The Washington Commanders offensively have slowed considerably in
Speaker 10: recent weeks, but the Dallas Cowboys have been dreadful all
Speaker 10: season long in the obviously playing with the backup quarterback
Speaker 10: as well. So I like Washington.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we will be listening for you on
Speaker 2: the basketball game today. You see at Georgia Tech one
Speaker 2: thirty pre game two o'clock. Tip Moeggar will be there
Speaker 2: and enjoy Atlanta if it's possible, mo I will you
Speaker 2: got it? All right, thank you very much. But he
Speaker 2: said he went to Connecticut and never saw the sun.
Speaker 2: He obviously didn't go to the Mohican Sun Casino, and
Speaker 2: there he has seen the sun. By Gallon counselor, how
Speaker 2: are you?
Speaker 1: I'm good? How about you?
Speaker 2: I'm all right, glady to head to the after the
Speaker 2: show show, slinging drinks for Hillbillies and others. Nothing all
Speaker 2: of that in Newport and uh, what's on the show. Well,
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about Trump's cabinet picks. Of course,
Speaker 2: Matt Gates pulled out Pam bank det was a great replacement.
Speaker 2: I don't know why they didn't pick her. It should
Speaker 2: have been Sick first. I mean eight years as a
Speaker 2: tour to Attorney General of Florida. Yeah, I mean big
Speaker 2: Trump support. Maybe there's some strategy in it.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 36: Pete Hegseath seems to be in trouble. I'm not bothered
Speaker 36: by the allegations Gary Jeff of sexual misconduct. He wasn't
Speaker 36: charged criminally with him. What bothers me is apparently he
Speaker 36: didn't tell Trump or the transition team about it. That's
Speaker 36: a big problem, and that's a breach of trust.
Speaker 2: Well, the Pete Hegseth thing didn't happen, Mike, what do
Speaker 2: you mean it didn't happen?
Speaker 1: What didn't nothing happened? Nothing happened. I'm not following you.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you said he didn't tell Trump and
Speaker 2: the transition team. Pete heggsa is about what you got
Speaker 2: it to disclose?
Speaker 8: That?
Speaker 1: Gary, what do you that there are allegations out there. Well,
Speaker 1: there are allegations about you and me.
Speaker 36: Listen, you do not not tell Trump or his transition team,
Speaker 36: but you gotta tell him about it. I'm not saying
Speaker 36: it's disqualifying for him. I'm not saying that all.
Speaker 1: The allegations that I never heard about. What it is
Speaker 1: is that he didn't disclose it.
Speaker 36: I don't know your garden variety sexual misconduct where cops investigate,
Speaker 36: no criminal charges filed, and then there's a payoff. I
Speaker 36: don't care about that, Gary, Jeff, but you got to
Speaker 36: tell Trumpe is his team about that.
Speaker 1: You have to disclose that. But anyway, he's gone. I think.
Speaker 36: I'm going to talk about the Democrats still not getting it.
Speaker 36: There's a Washington Post columnist who says that Republicans are
Speaker 36: out to kill your kids. Also, Los Angeles is becoming
Speaker 36: a sanctuary city.
Speaker 1: Isn't that great?
Speaker 36: And we're going to talk to Alex chant to feel
Speaker 36: you at ten or pea chair, And we're going to
Speaker 36: talk to consultant Kevin Burton Burton.
Speaker 1: At eleven, very nice.
