Speaker 1: I'll write it. I'm forty six.
Speaker 2: This is also a special weekend for me for another reason,
Speaker 2: besides the fact that I am celebrating another anniversary with
Speaker 2: my bride christ to two point zero on June first,
Speaker 2: it's this weekend on June first, nineteen eighty And for
Speaker 2: Joe Aaudell, this may be a significant note for him
Speaker 2: since he's making his debut on the air on seven
Speaker 2: under WLW today. But I made my broadcast radio professional
Speaker 2: broadcast radio debut June first, nineteen eighty in Gallatin, Tennessee,
Speaker 2: at a station with the call itter's whin which I
Speaker 2: believe is still on the air. I didn't kill it
Speaker 2: and I didn't kill it either. It was a rough time,
Speaker 2: but it started an odyssey of a professional career that
Speaker 2: has now spanned, as of tomorrow, forty five years. So
Speaker 2: congratulations to me, pats on the back all of that.
Speaker 2: I was nineteen years old about life. I didn't know
Speaker 2: my head from a hole in the ground radio. I
Speaker 2: knew maybe a little bit more than that, but not much.
Speaker 2: And was talking with Dave Keaton, who's also in the
Speaker 2: broadcast booth this morning. I'm the producer training Joe. I
Speaker 2: was telling him that it was lucky that I still
Speaker 2: live with my parents, because back then, the minimum wage,
Speaker 2: and that's what I was getting paid, was roughly just
Speaker 2: over two dollars an hour. Now, the price of a
Speaker 2: big Mac was different than it is today, and all
Speaker 2: of that forty five years later. But as that first
Speaker 2: year in radio continued, I slept on people's floors just
Speaker 2: so I could stay over for a part time job
Speaker 2: that paid a little bit more than two dollars an hour.
Speaker 2: And there were a lot of times when all I
Speaker 2: had to eat was a pack of Lipton cup of soup,
Speaker 2: and I brought my tea bags with me. Even then
Speaker 2: I was a slave to iced tea. I brought my
Speaker 2: tea bags with me everywhere I went so i'd have
Speaker 2: something to drink. And this had go on for days.
Speaker 2: I'm not complaining, and people have been through much tougher times,
Speaker 2: and they're still going through tougher times by far right now.
Speaker 2: But I was bound and determined to have a career
Speaker 2: in radio, and it's even more difficult, if not impossible,
Speaker 2: now as it was then. But there's not a thing
Speaker 2: I would regret. I do regret. It's been a wonderful career.
Speaker 2: And if it all ended after today, Oh well, it
Speaker 2: was a nice run. But thanks to the thousands and
Speaker 2: perhaps millions at this point to have put up with
Speaker 2: me in the ensuing forty five years, it's been quite
Speaker 2: a ride. Let's talk to the lady Lynette. Good morning, Lynette.
Speaker 3: Hold my hand, Lord, hold mine hand. Please hold it tighter.
Speaker 3: You're my doctor, you're my lawyer, year my water when
Speaker 3: on Thursday? Please hold mind, lord, just hold my hand.
Speaker 1: Aymen, ay men? Indeed, how you doing me?
Speaker 3: I think I'm getting that Canadian smoke? I smell popular? Oh,
Speaker 3: maple tree.
Speaker 4: He's burning in your room?
Speaker 3: Yeah, my room smell like a campfire.
Speaker 1: I like this. I like the smell of a campfire.
Speaker 3: Well, God is here today?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe I should come over to your place? What
Speaker 2: maybe I should be there? I love the smell of
Speaker 2: a campfire. Now now you're sure that it's poplar, oak
Speaker 2: and maple trees?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and a bit more. Can smell those trees burning
Speaker 3: before it was on the news. I smelled it three
Speaker 3: days before it came to America.
Speaker 2: Wow, you must have a very very intense sniffers.
Speaker 1: A parakeet nose.
Speaker 2: I've met you, and your nose does not look like
Speaker 2: it belongs on a parakeet.
Speaker 3: Internally, I should work in mine. If I don't fall
Speaker 3: over Kimonian, it work.
Speaker 1: I think that's a canary. But okay, I got you.
Speaker 3: But anyway, Yeah, I had a birthday party yesterday and
Speaker 3: we had ice cream neopop and sandwiches and little cupcakes.
Speaker 3: I mean they caught them mini muffins and it tastes
Speaker 3: like apple and spice, but it had waner saw lined
Speaker 3: them up three at a time on my plate and
Speaker 3: enjoyed the muffins.
Speaker 1: That's great, that's great. Do you like walnuts?
Speaker 3: Well, I like the black ones used to be in
Speaker 3: our yard. Yeah, but the English they're okay for your
Speaker 3: chicken salad and white grapes, stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, enjoy the campfire smoke. Is it causing you
Speaker 2: breathing problems?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Opened them up at the towel over my face and
Speaker 3: go them by Wait a giant mask.
Speaker 1: Well, I hope you have a wonderful weekend in spite
Speaker 1: of that.

Speaker 2: Oh job, it's right a home job, So here I go.
Speaker 2: If two vegans get into an argument, is it still

Speaker 2: What does a what does a monkey wear while he's cooking?
Speaker 1: An apron ron?
Speaker 5: An ape ron?
Speaker 7: An apron?
Speaker 4: Well, Gary jeffrom taking part in esteric climbing competition.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so I guess I better step up my game.
Speaker 8: Huh, it's weak.
Speaker 2: What weighs more a gallon of water or a gallon
Speaker 2: of butane?
Speaker 7: I would say the water.
Speaker 2: Water, because but tane is a lighter fluid.
Speaker 9: He's yes, there was a fish.
Speaker 8: Okay, there was a fish.
Speaker 7: He was arrested for swimming without a license.
Speaker 5: He eventually posted bail and relieve.
Speaker 8: He says, I'm off.
Speaker 1: Now you say he said he was off the hook? Now, yes,
Speaker 1: that's what I thought you said.
Speaker 10: Jokes told by Day from Harrison are not necessarily considered
Speaker 10: funny by the staff, management or advertisers of seven hundred
Speaker 10: WLW or his parent company, iHeartMedia. If these attempts at
Speaker 10: humor have caused you to roll your eyes, made your
Speaker 10: stomach churn, or you have considered the entire exercise to
Speaker 10: be a colossal waste of time, we deeply apologize. Now
Speaker 10: back to our irregular programming.
Speaker 1: Well minutes past the hour. How you doing really nice
Speaker 1: weekend for a change.
Speaker 2: We deserve it, don't we. After all of the doom
Speaker 2: and gloom and showers and rain of persistent rain that
Speaker 2: seemed like would never stop every day, the cooler than
Speaker 2: normal temperatures, this is starting to feel like it right there. Ike, Uh,
Speaker 2: Now an old friend. And when I say old friend,
Speaker 2: I guess it can qualify. We've known each other a
Speaker 2: long time, and well we're both old. Rick Washburn is here,
Speaker 2: old radio wreck, Good morning, how are you?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 7: Good morning? I'm old. How are you doing?
Speaker 1: Older?
Speaker 2: But anyway, my friend Greg Jones has a and I
Speaker 2: hope you're not offended by this, was doing a parody
Speaker 2: of our segment to me over the phone the other day,
Speaker 2: and that'd be great old talk radio Greg, And he says,
Speaker 2: you're coming in loud and clear. Five by five on
Speaker 2: my two thousand.
Speaker 1: And eight Nissan any.
Speaker 2: JVC was six by nine speakers in the back, and
Speaker 2: he was just going off on that. And I hope
Speaker 2: that he hears this and will be inspired to be awake
Speaker 2: and to call in some Saturday morning so we can
Speaker 2: have a non skyline three way.
Speaker 4: It'd be fun.
Speaker 7: I like it.
Speaker 8: I like it.
Speaker 2: So let's get to our reception report this morning. How
Speaker 2: are we coming in? What are you listening to us on?
Speaker 2: And tell me about this device?
Speaker 4: Well, thankfully you're coming in five by five this morning.
Speaker 4: And I say that because whether it's been the uh,
Speaker 4: the ash and the fire smoke, et cetera in the sky,
Speaker 4: the sun spot activity, or if it's our solar floor activity,
Speaker 4: the weather, the season's changing, I don't know, but reception
Speaker 4: has been pretty awful for the past few weeks. And
Speaker 4: it does tend to happen as we go into the
Speaker 4: warmer weather sometimes, but I think it's kind of a
Speaker 4: trifecta of unfortunateness. But this morning that doesn't seem to
Speaker 4: be bothering as much. And you are coming in five
Speaker 4: by five, which is well deserved.
Speaker 7: On this set.
Speaker 4: It's a nineteen forty one Westinghouse model number w R
Speaker 4: six two K one. It's a portable very similar to
Speaker 4: the Philco scene or look looking very similar to the
Speaker 4: Philco from the movie Philadelphia Story. Yeah, this one actually
Speaker 4: has an additional RF stage, so it's quite the DXer actually,
Speaker 4: and yeah, six tubes and a not too much to
Speaker 4: write about other than the fact that it runs on
Speaker 4: a C d C power or batteries which the modern
Speaker 4: equivalent would be a mere ten nine volt batteries plus
Speaker 4: another six d cls. But hey, whatever, and then it
Speaker 4: becomes a very luggable radio and you can bash somebody
Speaker 4: over the head with it. But hey, let's go to
Speaker 4: the catalog, shall we. Sure, let's see where should I start.
Speaker 4: Wendy Berry too enjoys the new Westinghouse carryatte Yes, that
Speaker 4: would be Wendy Rko Radio Picture Star and once a
Speaker 4: temporarily engaged to Bugsy Segell. Believe it or not, really,
Speaker 4: Wendy Berry is shown with Westinghouse carry It model w
Speaker 4: R six two K two. Oh, they put her with
Speaker 4: the fancy one.
Speaker 1: It's got the.
Speaker 4: Brown pigskin leather at makes it a truly handsome portable.
Speaker 4: It's not just fake leather, it's pig skin fake leather,
Speaker 4: the heck, let's see. And then jumping to another catalog,
Speaker 4: here it says housed in washable brown and ivory airplane
Speaker 4: luggage fabric with darker, contrasting striped saddle.
Speaker 2: Well, is it pigskin leather or is it washable fabric?
Speaker 4: Readers want to know? And I don't see a dark
Speaker 4: stripe saddle on the picture in either catalog. I guess
Speaker 4: there's two DIF models, so maybe one of them is
Speaker 4: the real fake leather and the other one is they're
Speaker 4: playing luggage fabric is but they're all black and white,
Speaker 4: so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: I wonder if you had a if you had a
Speaker 2: piece of luggage and they would describe it as real
Speaker 2: fake radio fabric.
Speaker 1: It seems like like.
Speaker 2: Like they could, sure, ki, you know what if one
Speaker 2: If it's one, that's the other.
Speaker 4: For sure, and that description wouldn't be as bad as
Speaker 4: some of them in some of these catalogs.
Speaker 1: Let's face it.
Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, this radio brings more programs better
Speaker 4: to all outdoors beach parties, camping, fishing, boat trips, vacation tours,
Speaker 4: home and office. What type of outdoors is office?
Speaker 7: Exactly.
Speaker 2: If somebody he has enough money, I guess they could
Speaker 2: have a nice outdoor office. Rick, fair enough, But you
Speaker 2: said it was resemblance of the radio that's featured in
Speaker 2: the movie The Philadelphia Story, which is nineteen forty.
Speaker 1: Right. Yes, it's a.
Speaker 4: Great ret It's a very common style with the handle
Speaker 4: on the top, which is the best place to have
Speaker 4: a handle, the speaker, and the left dial on the right,
Speaker 4: and then three knobs on a volume. In the middle
Speaker 4: is battery you're plug in, and on the right is.
Speaker 1: Tuning and go ahead.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, and pretty much anybody who was
Speaker 4: manufacturing or putting their names on radios from forty to
Speaker 4: forty two, they had something that looked like this.
Speaker 2: Right, And it was I believe, featured in the classic
Speaker 2: movie The Philadelphia Story was outdoors where the radio was
Speaker 2: sitting on the patio.
Speaker 1: But was that his office?
Speaker 7: Is what I want?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure he made it his office.
Speaker 2: Listen, it's been such a blast talking to you all
Speaker 2: these years. We're not done yet, I I pray, but
Speaker 2: on this weekend, just thinking about forty five years back
Speaker 2: and thinking about these radios that are in many cases
Speaker 2: ninety years old, It's great to have an old friend
Speaker 2: like you around to talk to, enjoy the conversation always.
Speaker 4: Oh me too, buddy, and thanks for always being out
Speaker 4: there and sometimes being the shoulder that I need. And
Speaker 4: happy anniversary.
Speaker 2: Also, thank you very much Old Radio Rick at gmail

Speaker 2: From Gary Jeff Walker at seven hundred WLW dot Com.
Speaker 2: From Dennis P. I wish I'd seen this. I've been
Speaker 2: driving a long time and I've never seen this. A
Speaker 2: shout out to the gentleman on seventy five North near
Speaker 2: Exit seven, who's probably way past that point.
Speaker 1: This was about eight minutes ago, who.
Speaker 2: Has a riding lawnmower strapped to the top of his
Speaker 2: car on the luggage rack.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: And also yesterday I got an email from a longtime
Speaker 2: listener named Ernie mcloney on the Trump pardon of PG
Speaker 2: Sittenfeld and him scratching his head about it. And I
Speaker 2: understand a lot of people have been and I have
Speaker 2: some thoughts as well on the Trump pardon. He writes,
Speaker 2: Scary Jeff, I hope Saturday you will have someone on
Speaker 2: to talk with about Sittenfeld being pardoned by President Trump.
Speaker 1: Well, you'll have me on my show.
Speaker 2: I love and have supported President Trump from his first
Speaker 2: time in office. However, some things are happening now that
Speaker 2: I don't understand. I am not from Cincinnati, but you
Speaker 2: can't live in our area and not have heard all
Speaker 2: the terrible details surrounding Sittenfeld's trial. Everything I heard sounded
Speaker 2: like he was guilty as sin. Therefore, I can't understand
Speaker 2: Trump doing this, so him threatening to primary our Congressman,
Speaker 2: Massy over voting no on the Big Beautiful Bill along
Speaker 2: with the Ohio congressman. Support Trump if you may, but
Speaker 2: you can't disagree with Massey that we need to cut
Speaker 2: the national budget debt. Truth be known, I am not
Speaker 2: sure the Big Beautiful Bill is the way to go.
Speaker 2: There is some good things in the bill, like tax
Speaker 2: cuts and etc. Maybe the bill should have been broken
Speaker 2: down in certain parts voted on separately.
Speaker 1: I don't know where you are on all of this,
Speaker 1: but it would be.
Speaker 2: Interesting if you had someone unfamiliar with the facts discussing
Speaker 2: all of this. Thanks sincerely, Ernie mccloney, Verona, Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: There's so much to unpack there, you know what, Ernie, Please,
Speaker 2: if you will allow me some time. I do have
Speaker 2: very specific thoughts, but William had thoughts about Columbia and
Speaker 2: Harvard University receiving taxpayer money.
Speaker 1: Good morning, William.
Speaker 12: Hey, thank you sir. It's a privilege to talk to you,
Speaker 12: and thank you for taking my call. With all due respect,
Speaker 12: I mean, I think it was a smart ideal that
Speaker 12: Trump come up with is take these colleges. We got
Speaker 12: enough people in college. What we're lacking in is people
Speaker 12: actually know crafts in this country. And that's a good ideal.
Speaker 12: I think put it towards we need people to know
Speaker 12: how to do plumbing, know how to build. I mean,
Speaker 12: we got enough people put you know, in college and
Speaker 12: what are what are they doing? I mean all they
Speaker 12: doing is just walking around qushing money down the dream
Speaker 12: and where's our results? We are not getting the best results,
Speaker 12: just like in the public schools. With all due respect,
Speaker 12: we've had the highest on public school education and look
Speaker 12: at us we're on the bottom.
Speaker 2: Well, William, I I can't disagree. I can't disagree with
Speaker 2: what you're saying one bit. Whatever happened to shop class,
Speaker 2: what happened to trade schools in high schools, not just
Speaker 2: in college. What happened to vocational training? There is still
Speaker 2: some of that, but it's far and few between, and
Speaker 2: instead there seem to have been an emphasis, especially the
Speaker 2: last four years, on teaching critical race theory and gender dysphoria,
Speaker 2: acceptance pronouns and the like as opposed to actual education
Speaker 2: that really helps people. Thank you for the call, and
Speaker 2: I appreciate. But what I've never understood is why and
Speaker 2: how private institutions like Harvard, who have billions of dollars
Speaker 2: in endowments to keep them going, need any public tax
Speaker 2: payer money in the first place. It should all be
Speaker 2: yanked away, period. End of story, end of discussion. As
Speaker 2: far as I'm concerned, six twenty seven at seven underd WLW,
Speaker 2: we are blessed always to have this next guy on
Speaker 2: the wisdom of the wit. The historical background and the
Speaker 2: great cogent commentaries provided on a weekly basis have become
Speaker 2: a staple of this show. It all started years ago
Speaker 2: when this man started sending me what I called pithy emails,
Speaker 2: and it was just commentary on the news of the day,
Speaker 2: the news of the week, with historical references. And then
Speaker 2: he started calling, and the magic really happened then because
Speaker 2: these are one of the He's one of the great
Speaker 2: voices not only of this show, but of Saturday Morning.
Speaker 2: Steve Simon, Evetna Ohio.
Speaker 13: Good morning, Good morning Gary Jeff. The Washington Times has
Speaker 13: recently posed a very interesting political question, why had Jimmy
Speaker 13: Carter are gone from a loud and proud Southern Baptist
Speaker 13: who believed in God's deal with Abraham for the special
Speaker 13: protection of the Jews in Israel to vocal critic of
Speaker 13: contemporary Israel and a supporter of Palestine independence. The Times
Speaker 13: alluded to the investigative reporting of Jack Anderson and William
Speaker 13: Sapphire during Carter's failed one term as President of the
Speaker 13: United States. Both Jimmy Carter and fellow member of the
Speaker 13: so called Georgia Mafia, Bert Lance, had close financial ties
Speaker 13: to a palate or oh, no excuse me, ties to
Speaker 13: a Pakistani banker named Aga Abetti. Abetty's bank is b
Speaker 13: c c I. Bert Lance was Jimmy Carter's director of
Speaker 13: the Office of Management and Budget OMB. When Bert was
Speaker 13: a big shot with the National Bank of Georgia, he
Speaker 13: played fast and loose with that bank's money. With the
Speaker 13: Carter family peanut farm close to bankruptcy, Bert engineered a
Speaker 13: four point six billion dollar loan from his National Bank
Speaker 13: of Georgia. At the same time, Bert went hunting for
Speaker 13: a white night to bail himself out of a three
Speaker 13: point five million dollar debt he had to the National
Speaker 13: Bank of Georgia. Since all of this was getting way
Speaker 13: too close to the Oval office, Bert resigned from OMB. Simultaneously,
Speaker 13: mister Abetti's BCCI bank bailed Lance out of that debt
Speaker 13: he owed to his bank. That put BCCI and mister
Speaker 13: Abetty under the microscope of federal bank regulators. They found
Speaker 13: out that the Pakistani and his bank was laundering drug
Speaker 13: money and surreptitiously buying up US banks. Both of those
Speaker 13: are a violation of federal law. Betty also admitted that
Speaker 13: BCCI was created to fight quote Zionist influence unquote in
Speaker 13: Middle Eastern finance. So the Carter Peanut farm lived to
Speaker 13: harvest another day or two, and Jimmy's attitude towards Zionism
Speaker 13: and the two state solution changed dramatically. Ironically, one of
Speaker 13: Jimmy's five autobiographies is entitled Keeping Faith, But What faith
Speaker 13: are we talking about? BCCI is a story that hardly
Speaker 13: ended with Jimmy Peanut and Bert Lance enter another suspicious
Speaker 13: character or lack thereof former United States Senator, Secretary of
Speaker 13: State and Envoy on climate John Carey carry has a
Speaker 13: long and inglorious history with Middle East terrorist states like Iran.
Speaker 13: But I also found a connection to the investigation of
Speaker 13: BCCI Bank. Yes, let's move on for the cargo. In
Speaker 13: this administration. To the early nineties, Senator Kerrie and a
Speaker 13: colleague on a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee conducted hearings on
Speaker 13: BCCEI Bank, among others, and their cozy relationships with US
Speaker 13: financial interests. The scathing report by that subcommittee entitled one
Speaker 13: of its sections, BCCI and Georgia Politicians. The report blasted
Speaker 13: US regulators for failure to police international banking incursions into
Speaker 13: the US banking model. But John Kerry's current interests in
Speaker 13: the Middle East belie these earlier concerns. As Obama's Secretary
Speaker 13: of State, Kerry allegedly blocked an FBI probe into Iranian
Speaker 13: terrorists as part of a nuclear deal with Tehran. He
Speaker 13: was also accused of paying Iran one point seven billion
Speaker 13: dollars as a ransom payment to free five American prisoners.
Speaker 13: During Donald Trump's first term, Kerry was slammed for conducting
Speaker 13: foreign policy sessions with Iranian sources related again to a
Speaker 13: nuclear deal. Concurrently, he was accused of leaking Israeli secrets
Speaker 13: to the Iranians. Remember, his official title was Special Climate Envoy.
Speaker 13: Donald Trump has finally fired Kerry from his Climate Envoy position.
Speaker 13: Rumors circulate that John Kerrey has invested, along with members
Speaker 13: of his family, in Iranian real estate. Foreigners can own
Speaker 13: buildings in Iran, but the land remains Iranian. Yes, the
Speaker 13: US has laws covering quote foreign direct investment, but you
Speaker 13: could cover your tracks by going through a third party
Speaker 13: like Saudi Arabia, which has an investment agreement with Tehran.
Speaker 13: Just check sands of wealth on the Internet. That's where
Speaker 13: I found out the rules. N Carry and Jimmy Carter
Speaker 13: have apparently discovered that the coin of the American realm
Speaker 13: has two sides heads. The politician wins, tails, the US
Speaker 13: citizen loses. Gary Jeff, congrats on forty five years in broadcasting. Sir,
Speaker 13: you are coming in.
Speaker 4: Five by five.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Take care of yourself, oh man, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for that. Ray and Loveland, brother Scott, how are you?
Speaker 7: Good morning?
Speaker 5: Gary Jeff Walker my friend? Yes, and didos Gary Jeff?
Speaker 9: Did those?
Speaker 5: Gary Jeff and so Steve just completely blew my mind.
Speaker 5: Just now to go back and listen to that slow
Speaker 5: mo wow you know BC Ecci, we remember that vaguely
Speaker 5: and then.
Speaker 7: It just it all comes together.
Speaker 1: That's amazing, And I.
Speaker 2: Wow, he's great, He's great connecting the dots.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 5: Incredible. And I just have just a little bentons of
Speaker 5: a donation of something sifting through the headlines, you know,
Speaker 5: and those who know you know what.
Speaker 7: A sifter is.
Speaker 5: I know and a lot of us do, and I
Speaker 5: you have to sift through the headlines to find some
Speaker 5: good news on the economy because what's in the headlines
Speaker 5: they usually nowadays it seems to have flipped to negativity,
Speaker 5: so to speak. And it caught my eye late yesterday
Speaker 5: that well, and you may or may not hear this,
Speaker 5: but the Federal Reserve now has come out and said
Speaker 5: and predicted that in the second.
Speaker 8: Quarter of this year.
Speaker 5: GDP will grow at three point eight percent.
Speaker 1: And well, that's phenomenal.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm lucky.
Speaker 5: Where's the recession is question there?
Speaker 8: You know, in.
Speaker 5: Personal income has rised rapidly or the words in Wall
Speaker 5: Street Journal rapidly rose you know, all is down fifteen
Speaker 5: percent year to date, and there's moves in that area
Speaker 5: to possibly make it drop further because the Saudis they
Speaker 5: are on a relentless pursuit of maintaining their market share
Speaker 5: at all costs.
Speaker 7: So Ray, I like it.
Speaker 2: I like what you're talking about, and how there's negativity
Speaker 2: in the media especially and fears of a recession and
Speaker 2: all of the things that keep on being battered around
Speaker 2: publicly to try and convince people that they've got it
Speaker 2: worse than they actually do. It's the same thing that
Speaker 2: Morgan Freeman referenced years ago when asked about racism in America.
Speaker 2: He said, if we quit talking about it, it would
Speaker 2: simply not exist at all. And it's the same thing.
Speaker 2: If you quit talking about a recession, then there would
Speaker 2: be no threat of a recession right now, even with
Speaker 2: tariffs and everything else. That all the negativity which is
Speaker 2: basically centered around targeting Donald Trump. So what you are
Speaker 2: referencing here and what you're pointing out is the obvious
Speaker 2: you create it by talking about it when it doesn't
Speaker 2: actually exist. You get where I'm coming from.
Speaker 5: The psyops operation.
Speaker 7: What is the old saying, You know.
Speaker 5: I act enthusiastic, therefore I am enthusiastic, And you're one
Speaker 5: hundred percent correct. So here's to the truth. Here's to
Speaker 5: the truth. God bless you, my brother.
Speaker 1: God bless you always. Thank you. Ray.
Speaker 2: With that, we'll take a break. Steve Shulty up with
Speaker 2: an environmental update. You just heard the news. Yeah, if
Speaker 2: you live in Ohio, Duke is hiking your electric rates
Speaker 2: starting tomorrow twenty five percent. I don't know how we
Speaker 2: we get out of that, how we make something positive
Speaker 2: out of that, but anyway, we will discuss as we continue.
Speaker 2: It is the Saturday Morning Edition on seven hundred WLW. Yes, yes, yes, indeed,
Speaker 2: another hour The Saturday Morning Edition begins seven six am Eastern.
Speaker 2: That is Gary Jeff Walker with you once again. Coming
Speaker 2: up on June seventh. If you were at the anniversary
Speaker 2: party where we get together to celebrate this show, the
Speaker 2: people that are on it, the people that listen to it,
Speaker 2: we had a great time. Everybody who came out agreed.
Speaker 2: Back on March fifteenth, well, the pictures are back is
Speaker 2: coming out. Keepsake Kim Rice from Keepsake Photography does a
Speaker 2: fantastic job. She does it on her own dime, and
Speaker 2: she has the book ready. She does a little scrap
Speaker 2: book of pictures of everybody who is there and the
Speaker 2: special magical moments we celebrated together and it is ready
Speaker 2: and next Saturday around two pm if you gather with
Speaker 2: us at six twenty eight Mama Street in Newport at Huddles,
Speaker 2: you can see the book. I'd love to have you
Speaker 2: sign it if you will. Just like a high school
Speaker 2: annual and anyway, it's it's become a kind of a
Speaker 2: special occasion and again a chance to see everybody or
Speaker 2: as many people who can show up for that special
Speaker 2: event next Saturday, that will be June seventh, around two
Speaker 2: pm there on Mama Street in Newport. Let's talk to
Speaker 2: our environmental engineer, my friend Steve Shulty, who we've had
Speaker 2: a relationship over the air gosh for over twenty years,
Speaker 2: maybe twenty five, I don't know, but he is back
Speaker 2: again and he's talking about the research that has supported
Speaker 2: a global medieval warm period, in other words, before fossil
Speaker 2: fuels were being burnt by you know, combustion engines and
Speaker 2: all of the like that we're told we're going to
Speaker 2: kill the planet because well, we're more powerful than mother
Speaker 2: nature when we're a part of mother nature. Steve Shulty,
Speaker 2: good morning, sir.
Speaker 14: How are you Garry, Jeff, Yes, This comes from the
Speaker 14: Heartland Institute Climate Change Weekly five forty two from May.
Speaker 14: Second headline is the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Speaker 14: Change shit the Middle Medieval Warm period. New research published
Speaker 14: in the journal name Tature suggests the MIDI of warm period,
Speaker 14: this runs from nine to fifty to about twelve to
Speaker 14: fifty AD, not only existed a historic fact the climate
Speaker 14: alarmists tried to erase from histories, but at some points
Speaker 14: warmer today. It was so warm back then, Gary Jeff
Speaker 14: that Leif Erickson and the Vikings left their Iceland traveled
Speaker 14: west and as they approached the southern tip of Greenland
Speaker 14: at the time, which was forested, they saw all greens.
Speaker 5: I go.
Speaker 14: We got Greenland and actually stablished several settlements there until
Speaker 14: it went cold. Then it went further on onto what is
Speaker 14: today called Newfoundland, North America. This was five hundred years
Speaker 14: before Christopher Columbus, and they found something that didn't exist
Speaker 14: in Iceland, wild grapes, so they called it Vinland. Of course,
Speaker 14: there are no wild grapes in Newfoundland today. It's too
Speaker 14: cold anyway. So if this is true, the twenty first
Speaker 14: century has not only experience has not experienced high temperatures
Speaker 14: unseen in the past thousand, two thousand, twelve thousand or
Speaker 14: so years, as the mainstream media and un have claimed,
Speaker 14: and they do this by saying that the Medieval Warm
Speaker 14: period was a regional and just had modest warming. So
Speaker 14: these researchers book from Italy and Switzerland, used all kinds
Speaker 14: of data, satellite, ground penetrating, radar, carbon dating of the
Speaker 14: Boulder Clay Glacier in Victoria Land in the southern coast
Speaker 14: of Antarctica. And the reason why this is important is
Speaker 14: that if anyone wishes to understand the climate history of Earth,
Speaker 14: it is because the Antarctic landscape is one of the
Speaker 14: most stable environments on the Earth, at least for approximately
Speaker 14: fourteen million years.
Speaker 1: Right, so it's been around.
Speaker 14: When you look at you, you know, things are pretty stable.
Speaker 14: So basically, the new study re established that the significantly
Speaker 14: warmer Medieval Warm period and climb in history. And again
Speaker 14: why is it important Because they looked at Antarctica. If
Speaker 14: the Medieval Warm period warmed Antarctica, it warmed the entire Earth.
Speaker 1: Yes, it wasn't a original thing.
Speaker 2: It wasn't It was all over the Earth, and it
Speaker 2: wasn't caused by industrial production or US throwing carbon into
Speaker 2: the air. It was caused by something, I would say
Speaker 2: it because something something by the like, Oh, I don't know,
Speaker 2: the sun, possibly the.
Speaker 14: Sun, the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Yes, cloud cover
Speaker 14: all kinds of things well, which we still do not
Speaker 14: fully fully.
Speaker 1: Understand nothing that man was doing.
Speaker 14: In other words, yep, and unfortunately when it went cold
Speaker 14: around twelve.
Speaker 8: Fifty a d.
Speaker 14: Guess what happened in Europe all of a sudden it
Speaker 14: was called the Black Plague.
Speaker 1: Yeah, earth went old.
Speaker 14: Crops failed, people didn't have as much to eat as
Speaker 14: they did before, and now they couldn't resist something that
Speaker 14: was probably around, you know, for eons.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Well I think with it.
Speaker 14: One quarter to one third of the European population died
Speaker 14: during the Black Plague.
Speaker 2: Warmer is better always, you got it, Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 2: Appreciate mister Shilty very very much. It's seven to twelve
Speaker 2: at seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you like it or not?
Speaker 2: The cyber world affects our daily lives more and more
Speaker 2: all the time. Duke Energy is gonna in Ohio raised
Speaker 2: the kilowatt rate twenty five percent starting tomorrow. If you're
Speaker 2: a buyer of electricity from Duke Energy, and most of
Speaker 2: you are. You're going to pay twenty five percent more
Speaker 2: per kilo one hour, part due in part to AI
Speaker 2: and the incredible energy that needs to be generated to
Speaker 2: support artificial intelligence, which is the craze. Everybody, whether you
Speaker 2: like it or not, you were affected by things in
Speaker 2: the Internet of Things world, and that's why I thought
Speaker 2: it was important to bring in our friend Dave Hatter
Speaker 2: from Interust Media, our intrust and also the mayor of
Speaker 2: Fort Wright once again Doomsday Dave wearing his luminum foil hat.
Speaker 1: How you doing. I'm good, Jerry, Jeff, how are you fantastic? Listen?
Speaker 1: First off, tell me about this latest data breach.
Speaker 8: Yeah, this is pretty wild and I would say one
Speaker 8: of the worst. In recent reporting. There's been a lot
Speaker 8: of data breaches, and I would bet you every one
Speaker 8: of your listeners has gotten a lead one letter from
Speaker 8: some company that claims their data was lost. And you know,
Speaker 8: usually that's because of some kind of misconfiguration or some
Speaker 8: data stolen. And when that happens, in most cases, not always,
Speaker 8: but in most cases, whatever passwords they might have collected
Speaker 8: are typically still hashed or encrypted, so they can be used,
Speaker 8: but you've got further steps.
Speaker 7: It's more difficult.
Speaker 8: What looks like has happened based on the reporting in
Speaker 8: this case is about one hundred and eighty four million
Speaker 8: records were found on a website by a guy that
Speaker 8: does this sort of research, and apparently it's from people's
Speaker 8: accounts on just about everything you can demandagine Instagram, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple,
Speaker 8: you name it. So it doesn't appear to be targeted
Speaker 8: from any particular company, like they were able to break
Speaker 8: into Apple and steal something that I'm miss throwing out
Speaker 8: Apple as an example. It looks like it's just accounts
Speaker 8: from all over the place. It looks like there's a
Speaker 8: lot of plaintext passwords. Plaintext fancy speak for it's readable
Speaker 8: by the human eye. So you know, if it had
Speaker 8: your accounts in there, I could see your password and
Speaker 8: immediately start using it, as opposed to if it were
Speaker 8: encrypto passed, I'd still have to try to crack it, right,
Speaker 8: So that's what makes this a bigger deal. It's suspected
Speaker 8: that some kind of infostealer or key circlagger may have
Speaker 8: been used to collect all of this data. And again,
Speaker 8: think about that one hundred and eighty four million records.
Speaker 8: If there are plain text passwords and each one of those,
Speaker 8: that means each one of those accounts is potentially open
Speaker 8: for bad guys to start hacking at it. So it's
Speaker 8: pretty bad. This news just broke. It's been taken down,
Speaker 8: so that's good. But no one is sure how long
Speaker 8: it was out there. No one is exactly sure where
Speaker 8: it came from yet. So my first piece of advice
Speaker 8: to everyone is, you know, you should assume that you
Speaker 8: could be in it. No one has also posted any
Speaker 8: sort of tool to search to see if you're in
Speaker 8: it yet that I know of. And you should really
Speaker 8: start thinking about out the things we talk about all
Speaker 8: the time, Gary Jeff. Making sure you have strong, unique
Speaker 8: passwords for all of your accounts. This would be a
Speaker 8: good time to change your passwords, and less than until
Speaker 8: you can confirm one or more of your accounts may
Speaker 8: not be in there and be a good time to
Speaker 8: change your pass.
Speaker 2: What about just what about just closing those accounts completely?
Speaker 8: Well, that's not bad advice, Gary Jeff. And you know,
Speaker 8: in general, if you are no longer using an account,
Speaker 8: you really should close it. You should delete apps you're
Speaker 8: not using anymore, so you know, if you have an
Speaker 8: old Gmail account, let's say that you're not using it
Speaker 8: would be really good to go ahead and close that down.
Speaker 8: But you know the big threat here besides the open text,
Speaker 8: the plain text passwords rather, is it the bad guys
Speaker 8: also them Many people will use the same password on
Speaker 8: multiple accounts. So if I can get your passwords or Facebook,
Speaker 8: let's say, and it also happens to be the password
Speaker 8: for your insurance company or your bank account or whatever,
Speaker 8: right you know, I'm off to the race. And remember,
Speaker 8: most of the time these people want your money. They'll
Speaker 8: steal your data to get to your money, but usually
Speaker 8: they want your money. And this is also a strong
Speaker 8: example of why everyone should be using multifactor authentication everywhere
Speaker 8: that they can multi factor two factor two step verification,
Speaker 8: whatever you want to call it, because if you turn
Speaker 8: that on, while it is not fool proof, it can
Speaker 8: be defeated. It's much much more difficult to get around.
Speaker 8: And for the average hacker who's just trying to steal
Speaker 8: your money, if they have your password, they still can't
Speaker 8: log in because they need that code. That code typically
Speaker 8: they are the code that would be texted to your
Speaker 8: code for example, that only lasts thirty seconds in most cases,
Speaker 8: so it really does make it much more difficult for
Speaker 8: them to use any stolen credentials. So turn on MFA, folks,
Speaker 8: consider changing your passwords.
Speaker 7: And let's hope this.
Speaker 8: Wasn't out there that long, but to even collect one
Speaker 8: hundred and eighty four million records would take a while.
Speaker 2: All right, I've got like one more minute. There was
Speaker 2: one more thing you wanted to bring up, real quick day.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the FBI has recently warned about replacing your old
Speaker 8: home Wi Fi routers, and just to keep us in time,
Speaker 8: bottom line is, if you have any devices that don't
Speaker 8: get updates from the manufacturer anymore, replace them. You know,
Speaker 8: if it's more than five or six years old, you
Speaker 8: should think about replacement because something like your WiFi router,
Speaker 8: they've come a long way. They're faster, they're more resilient,
Speaker 8: they're more robust, they have more security features. But they
Speaker 8: point out if you have a Wi Fi router you
Speaker 8: know from twenty ten or earlier, is essentially a sitting duck.
Speaker 8: They're being targeted. You need to replace this then.
Speaker 2: All right, the FBI's weren't very well, sir. We will
Speaker 2: talk to you in the next few weeks. And it's
Speaker 2: always great to have you on the show, Dave, thank
Speaker 2: you so much, my pleasure to thank you, bet you.
Speaker 7: And now this.
Speaker 2: Time for the Tom Davis Diaries or the that mad
Speaker 2: man again is named Tom Davis, and he's here with
Speaker 2: a report or correspondent, wild wacky stories from the world
Speaker 2: in such.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Gary, Jeff.
Speaker 15: This week you want to break a record, you better
Speaker 15: get to KFC. But first, a family in Bell County,
Speaker 15: Kentucky got a big surprise at the dinner table when
Speaker 15: a black bear fell through the ceiling and landed in
Speaker 15: the kitchen.
Speaker 1: It landed on a woman.
Speaker 15: It's not clear whether or not the woman was mom,
Speaker 15: but the lady was all right and she was able
Speaker 15: to get out along with the rest of the family.
Speaker 15: Cop showed up found the bear sitting on the stove.
Speaker 15: The bear eventually went out an open door. Apparently it
Speaker 15: got in through the attic using a ladder.
Speaker 1: That was left on the outside of the house.
Speaker 15: In Maryland, a sixteen year old kid went on a
Speaker 15: crime spree, breaking into one hundred and twenty one cars
Speaker 15: in one night.
Speaker 1: It's got to be some kind of a record.
Speaker 15: He was in jail for a couple of hours before
Speaker 15: he was released a juvie. We can only hope the
Speaker 15: young soul will turn away from a life of crime,
Speaker 15: or perhaps get better at evading police. Speaking of theft,
Speaker 15: it's despicable, but it happened. Catherine Taylor from Bardon, Florida,
Speaker 15: is accused of stealing items from a cemetery. She was
Speaker 15: caught on tape taking items that loved one was left
Speaker 15: for the dearly departed. Turns out she had a thing
Speaker 15: for wind chimes. She took dozens of the things from
Speaker 15: the gravestones and set them up in her backyard. She
Speaker 15: was charged with criminal mischief. And finally she's breaking records
Speaker 15: and she's not afraid to tell the world how she's
Speaker 15: doing it. Bailey Tolbert of Festus High School in Missouri
Speaker 15: is crediting the Kernel with her success. She's breaking records
Speaker 15: at track events and says it's because of the KFC
Speaker 15: honey packet she downs before the event. She says the
Speaker 15: sauce gives her confidence and increases her speed. Her mom
Speaker 15: says it's all in her head. Next week, twelve year
Speaker 15: old pulled over for speeding tells the cops he's got
Speaker 15: to get his nine year old brother who's in the
Speaker 15: passenger seat to the barber.
Speaker 1: Have a great weekend you too. Thanks Tom.
Speaker 2: By the way, No, after the show show at Huddles today,
Speaker 2: there will not be I will not be there, taking
Speaker 2: this week off and Jim lebarbera rock 'n' roll archaeology
Speaker 2: coming up after the news into another hour of the
Speaker 2: Saturday morning edition for this Saturday, May thirty first, twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five, and a versary day for me and christ
Speaker 2: To two point zero. Eleven years ago we were on
Speaker 2: it was going to be a gorgeous day. It was
Speaker 2: a gorgeous day, just like today is going to be
Speaker 2: a little bit warmer.
Speaker 1: I believe we were on the.
Speaker 2: Patio at York Street Cafe in Newport, so I think
Speaker 2: it's called something else now. Anyway, Terry and Betsy Cunningham
Speaker 2: allowed us to have that that area for a reconnection
Speaker 2: ceremony because before that May thirty first, nineteen ninety seven,
Speaker 2: we were married the first time. So we chose when
Speaker 2: we rediscovered each other and got back together. That's why
Speaker 2: she's christ To two point oh, or maybe I'm Gary
Speaker 2: Jeff two point zero. Either way works. We wanted to
Speaker 2: do it on that date, the original wedding date in
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety seven, was just It was raining cats, dogs,
Speaker 2: and other mammals out of the sky all day long,
Speaker 2: rain on your wedding day, just like isn't it ironic?
Speaker 1: Lyrics?
Speaker 2: But that day eleven years ago in twenty fourteen was
Speaker 2: absolutely perfect. It was gorgeous. My mom and dad were
Speaker 2: in town. Dad took us out to dinner, much to
Speaker 2: his chagrin, perhaps Christa ordered lobster. No woman can destroy
Speaker 2: a crustacean the way my wife can. And we danced
Speaker 2: and had friends and family around. Le Barbara was there.
Speaker 2: The music professor, Pastor rich living Good performed the ceremonies,
Speaker 2: and it was just a perfect day. And we're hoping
Speaker 2: that today is because later on today we'll be celebrating
Speaker 2: our anniversary at the wedding reception of one Alex Egan,
Speaker 2: who is marrying his bride Shannon today, And we were
Speaker 2: blessed enough to be issued invitations for that, And I said,
Speaker 2: what a perfect way to spend their anniversary.
Speaker 1: Somebody else is getting married on our.
Speaker 2: Day, so I know she's up and listening now. Good morning,
Speaker 2: my love, Chris to two point zero, Happy eleven years
Speaker 2: and we're celebrating it with Fetchen Frankie, our new wonder
Speaker 2: cat who just came into our lives last Thursday. And
Speaker 2: he'll never take Brooksy the Catdog's place, but he already
Speaker 2: has a week later a special place in our hearts.
Speaker 2: So thanks to one and all for the good wishes
Speaker 2: and the happy anniversaries and the like, and we proceed.
Speaker 1: Science.
Speaker 2: Mike back with another Science Minute here on seven hundred
Speaker 2: w LW.
Speaker 13: Yes as a night of scientists, a bit surprising all
Speaker 13: blinded me with.
Speaker 2: And by the way, keep saying, Kim was there snapping
Speaker 2: photographs of that, and we have some very special memories
Speaker 2: preserved because of her efforts.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Kim and Bruce. Rice. Mike, how are you brother?
Speaker 1: Did you toast? What is your toast with? I have?
Speaker 2: I have no remembrance of what we toast with because
Speaker 2: the whole day was like a great toast to us,
Speaker 2: just having assembled family and friends around it. It was
Speaker 2: just it was a wonderful day and I'm thinking today
Speaker 2: will be no different.
Speaker 1: Well, congratulations, thank you so much. How long have you
Speaker 1: been here for?
Speaker 9: I always say the joke and she slaps me when
Speaker 9: I say this, Do you mean happily or I'm just.
Speaker 8: Thirty six.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: See my parents who are still we are still blessed
Speaker 2: to have around, just celebrated their sixty seventh wedding anniversary
Speaker 2: this past January. Oh yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 9: My in laws they were married over sixty years. And
Speaker 9: my parents my mom and they were sixty two. So
Speaker 9: you know, you don't see that much, you know anymore? Usually, yes,
Speaker 9: that kind of rarity. But my quick rant is to
Speaker 9: do energy. Hey, if you're increasing my bill because of
Speaker 9: ai U sees and bitcoin minors, just send a bill
Speaker 9: to them. Don't don't increase my stuff house a man,
Speaker 9: give them the bill. You know who they are.
Speaker 1: Just send them to well.
Speaker 2: But don't you see they're all benefiting our lives and
Speaker 2: making our lives better.
Speaker 7: Nobody but them.
Speaker 9: Binding bitcoin isn't doing me one benefit at all now
Speaker 9: and as far as they I go, so I can
Speaker 9: get on chat GP Jeff GBT and ask them for
Speaker 9: the best lason your recipe.
Speaker 1: I don't care about that. Well, no, I agree. What
Speaker 1: have we got on the science side?
Speaker 9: Okay, real quick, this is make chip Hart would like this?
Speaker 9: Gary Jeff? All right, I know you and I we
Speaker 9: go up to Lake Erie occasionally too. But this is
Speaker 9: uh they you know, they have those algae ballooms in
Speaker 9: the summer of the lake. They almost are really these
Speaker 9: algaebras are called cyanobacteria blooms, and they create toxins.
Speaker 1: And like in.
Speaker 9: Twenty to twenty oh seven, they had a toxin and
Speaker 9: created that I'll give it the name. I was called
Speaker 9: the Saxo toxin and was a it's a neurotoxin. They
Speaker 9: almost had to shut down the whole water supply at
Speaker 9: Lake Erie, and it's.
Speaker 1: Really bad up there. But what happened.
Speaker 9: What happened is in the University of Michigan UH school
Speaker 9: up there, they have discovered in this cyandobacteria algae what
Speaker 9: organism actually creates all these toxins. And what they had
Speaker 9: to do is they took samples of these blooms and
Speaker 9: they had this is kind of amazing. They had a
Speaker 9: sequence all the DNA of all the water samples they've
Speaker 9: taken these algae blooms over over say eight to ten years,
Speaker 9: and then they broke down to the genome sequence for
Speaker 9: which gene is producing out of these out out of
Speaker 9: the the cyanobacteria blooms which gene is producing the toxins.
Speaker 9: And they've actually discovered that the specific organism responsible for
Speaker 9: creative toxins. And I'll just give you the name of these,
Speaker 9: this dalko spermam.
Speaker 1: Now I don't know what.
Speaker 9: That doesn't you know, all these words are big words,
Speaker 9: but the beauty of it is, Gary, Jeff. Now that
Speaker 9: they know the organism that's causing the toxins, now they
Speaker 9: can actually manage environmental type conditions and and things that
Speaker 9: are actually helped this organism proliferate when it's when when
Speaker 9: when the temperature increases. And uh, it's not a big deal.
Speaker 9: You know, only certain people appreciate this. But when you
Speaker 9: go up there they have an algae bloom, it is miserable.
Speaker 9: You can't just it's the whole lake just shuts down.
Speaker 9: It's it's really uh.
Speaker 2: You know what I have been on my few trips
Speaker 2: up there. I have been during one of the more
Speaker 2: minor bloom. And I will tell you the stuff. The
Speaker 2: stuff stinks, does it just reads it really does. All right, Michael,
Speaker 2: thank you so much.
Speaker 9: I'll see you next Saturday.
Speaker 2: All right, fantastic, great, great, all right, science Mike from
Speaker 2: Dell High and Rick Green with today's Bible Verse coming
Speaker 2: up in just a few Good.
Speaker 1: Morning Kids, time for gives.
Speaker 2: From Wally Today it's a gift from Pat Donaldan guy
Speaker 2: goes to the he's got a tooth that has just
Speaker 2: been killing him for like a week. Sits down in
Speaker 2: the chair and she does the examination. She does the
Speaker 2: x rays, comes back with the x rays, said I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I the only thing I can do for you is
Speaker 2: just to extract this thing. We got to pull it.
Speaker 2: He goes, okay, let's let's get to it. She starts
Speaker 2: preparing the novacne needle. He goes, oh, no, no, I
Speaker 2: don't do needles. I I can't, said, well, I mean
Speaker 2: I want to do something for your pain. And she
Speaker 2: gets out the the face mask for the gas, the
Speaker 2: nitrous socks, and he goes, no, no, I had I
Speaker 2: had the gas once I was loopy for the rest
Speaker 2: of the day.
Speaker 1: I don't want the gas.
Speaker 2: She goes, it's gonna be pretty painful without any She said,
Speaker 2: I know, here, take this viagra like niagra. Is that
Speaker 2: really for pain relief? And she said no, but it
Speaker 2: may give you something to hold on to while I
Speaker 2: pull this tooth.
Speaker 1: On Time for the little.
Speaker 2: Injection of sports beyond just reports and the Reds and
Speaker 2: FC Cincinnati and the NBA and all the rest.
Speaker 1: Hey, mo, what's going on?
Speaker 2: What's going on is? First I wanted to talk to
Speaker 2: you something unsports related. We had this new drive through
Speaker 2: coffee shop open up in Newport and apparently these are
Speaker 2: all the rage now.
Speaker 1: They're popping up everywhere.
Speaker 2: And what I can't figure out is why is there
Speaker 2: a traffic jam being caused on Carruthers Road in Newport
Speaker 2: by this seven brew coffee shop? I pointed out, just
Speaker 2: because of the location where they placed it is not advantageo,
Speaker 2: just to traffic flow for the rest of us who
Speaker 2: don't want seven dollars coffee or whatever it's And here's
Speaker 2: the thing.
Speaker 1: It is just coffee.
Speaker 2: Why are people so nuts that they will wait a
Speaker 2: half an hour in line for a cup of coffee?
Speaker 2: Are they giving it away? Are you one of these
Speaker 2: people who will wait in a line at a drive
Speaker 2: through for a cup of coffee or a latte or
Speaker 2: whatever it is they're serving Because I.
Speaker 7: Don't get it, well, Number one, I can't wait to
Speaker 7: go there to try that cup of coffee. Number two,
Speaker 7: I hate waiting in line, so you know, we have
Speaker 7: a little deli in the lobby of our right great
Speaker 7: Skips right, and occasionally I will go down there to
Speaker 7: get a sandwich. If the line is more than two
Speaker 7: people deep, I don't do it. So I can't. I
Speaker 7: can't speak to anybody who wants to wait in line
Speaker 7: for pretty much anything. So I don't know. But now
Speaker 7: I badly want to try to coffee.
Speaker 2: Every time I'm anywhere around there and see the ensuing
Speaker 2: traffic jam lined up in their little drive through. And
Speaker 2: this is brand new, So anybody who lives in Newporter
Speaker 2: passes through that on Carruthers Road and sees the incredible
Speaker 2: log jam, traffic jam just to get into this call,
Speaker 2: which is preventing people from getting places where they actually
Speaker 2: need to go.
Speaker 1: I just think to myself.
Speaker 2: In fact, I've actually driven past before and rolled the
Speaker 2: window down and said.
Speaker 1: It's just coffee. Come on, what's wrong with you people?
Speaker 2: Maybe somebody will call and let me know what the
Speaker 2: deal is because I don't get it. Let's get to
Speaker 2: first off, let's get to the reds. And one of
Speaker 2: the moves they made this week was trading Daz, which
Speaker 2: maybe should have happened weeks ago. Because the guy has
Speaker 2: just proven to be fool's gold at this point in
Speaker 2: his career, pie right.
Speaker 1: He is not.
Speaker 2: When they brought him back up after the injury, he
Speaker 2: obviously got shelled in his first appearance. They sent him
Speaker 2: back down to Louisville and he wasn't getting the ball
Speaker 2: over the plate there, so they shipped him out to
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. And I told somebody else, I said, if
Speaker 2: he gets back to the big leagues, he'll either be
Speaker 2: great like so many other former Reds, or his career
Speaker 2: is over. And I would kind of side on his
Speaker 2: careers over, kind of. I mean, unless he can resurrect it.
Speaker 2: What do you think about the former Reds closer Daz?
Speaker 7: What an amazing fall, you know? Two years ago Alexis
Speaker 7: Diaz was pitching in the All Star Game in a
Speaker 7: Reds uniform, and twenty two and a half months later
Speaker 7: it was based given away. Now, nothing against the guy
Speaker 7: they got for him, but a guy who was an
Speaker 7: All Star two years ago was traded for a pitcher
Speaker 7: who has appeared in two professional baseball games. This obviously
Speaker 7: was partially about performance, and Alexis Daz at the big
Speaker 7: league level did not perform well and his performances in
Speaker 7: Louisville weren't very good. But I think there was something
Speaker 7: about Alexis Daz that they just said, we're done. And
Speaker 7: I think it was effort. I think it was attitude.
Speaker 7: I don't think this was you know, we're giving up
Speaker 7: on him as a pitcher. I think this was there's
Speaker 7: something about him as a guy that we just don't
Speaker 7: want a part of our organization. I don't know that
Speaker 7: as a fact, but I think if you read between
Speaker 7: the lines and if you you know, if you listen
Speaker 7: to or read what everybody was saying about Alexis in
Speaker 7: spring training, it was you know, does he show up
Speaker 7: in shape, does he have the right attitude? Because last
Speaker 7: year he didn't. My guess is this year he didn't.
Speaker 7: And I'm going to yes, there's something that happened, well
Speaker 7: he was in Louisville that compelled the Reds to go,
Speaker 7: you know what, get something for him, anything, And so
Speaker 7: he did, We're done.
Speaker 2: And I will tell you this, And maybe it's too
Speaker 2: early to be saying this, or earlier in the season,
Speaker 2: we'd all agreed that the Reds bullpen had held up
Speaker 2: pretty well with a team that had, you know, been
Speaker 2: suffering consistent power outages. Offensively, but something about the last
Speaker 2: couple of times I've seen Tony Santina up on the
Speaker 2: mountain relief. I mean, I was afraid he was going
Speaker 2: to blow it again last night and he almost did.
Speaker 2: Or yesterday afternoon against the Cubs. What's your assessment of
Speaker 2: where Tony Santien is at this point.
Speaker 7: I'm with you. I was at the game yesterday. I'm
Speaker 7: in Chicago right now. I thought he was going to
Speaker 7: cough it up. You know, at some point the bullpen
Speaker 7: was going to I don't want to say regress, but
Speaker 7: the bullpen for the first six seven weeks of the
Speaker 7: season was so good, right, I think in large part
Speaker 7: because the starting staff had given the red such great length.
Speaker 7: I think the issue with the bullpen, and you could
Speaker 7: apply this to Tony Santen and others, is I'm not
Speaker 7: sure who should pitch when right, Like, I don't know
Speaker 7: if Amelia Pagan is a true closer. I'm not sure
Speaker 7: if Tony Santien is a true eighth inning guy. I
Speaker 7: don't know ideally what role Graham Ashcraft should fill. You know,
Speaker 7: for a couple of weeks I felt like Luis May
Speaker 7: was going to help out the bullpen, and he just
Speaker 7: got sent to Louisville this week, So I think they
Speaker 7: have some good arms. I don't know that they have
Speaker 7: clearly defined roles in the bullpen. And what's frustrating about
Speaker 7: that is the starting pitching, to me, at least over
Speaker 7: the first two months of the season, was good enough
Speaker 7: for them to be able to establish clearly defined roles
Speaker 7: in the bullpen, and they haven't done that. I think
Speaker 7: Tony Santien has a really good arm. There are times
Speaker 7: where he looks like the big Lee closer. There are
Speaker 7: times where it feels like he just screws around and
Speaker 7: tries to nibble, and I think we yesterday it was
Speaker 7: an example of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Luis May that you just referenced, just has a
Speaker 2: hard time. I think the first time people saw him.
Speaker 2: The ball is so lively and it's so fast that
Speaker 2: they just worth swinging at air. But he has a
Speaker 2: hard time finding the plate locations. His problem and it's
Speaker 2: not a problem for the red starter yesterday Andrew Abbott.
Speaker 2: That is his ace in the hole is his ability
Speaker 2: to locate pitches. And it's too early in his career
Speaker 2: mode to say this, I understand, but to me, the
Speaker 2: pitcher he reminds me most of and we'll be able
Speaker 2: to say this in ten years if he's still in
Speaker 2: the league in ten years. He reminds me of Greg Maddox.
Speaker 2: Doesn't have doesn't have the velocity you know that other
Speaker 2: starting pitchers have that a Hunter Green has or something
Speaker 2: like that. But he just has such great location. What
Speaker 2: do you think about that assessment?
Speaker 7: I think it's a great one because you're right. You know,
Speaker 7: he doesn't blow you away with a fastball. He doesn't.
Speaker 7: His swing and mis rate could be higher, but you
Speaker 7: know what you watch. I used to I used to
Speaker 7: talk about this with Greg Maddox. You never see the
Speaker 7: catcher's mitt move right. Where he sets up is where
Speaker 7: the ball is going to go. And with Andrew Abbott,
Speaker 7: that's the case. Number One, he was terrific yesterday. Number Two,
Speaker 7: it's not too early to start talking about who's going
Speaker 7: to be in the All Star Games. Yeah, Andrew Abbott
Speaker 7: is the most likely Read's All Star. Who would have
Speaker 7: thought that before the season on a team with Eli
Speaker 7: Dela Cruz and Matt McClain and Tyler Stevenson who is
Speaker 7: starting to hit, and Hunter Green. You know, Andrew Rabbit
Speaker 7: burst on the scene two years ago and made you go, boy,
Speaker 7: this guy might have a chance to stick in the
Speaker 7: reds rotation. You could argue he's their staff face, and
Speaker 7: you're exactly right. Like he doesn't screw around on the mound.
Speaker 7: You know, he's not consistently getting into you know, two
Speaker 7: O holes, but when he does, he can pitch out
Speaker 7: of them, and he did yesterday. He's been terrific this
Speaker 7: year and uh got a good chance to pitch in
Speaker 7: the All Star Game, which I think would be pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Well, seeing some of the game yesterday, and and and
Speaker 2: that's the first thing that came to mind, because I
Speaker 2: remember watching Greg Maddox in the eighties with the Atlanta
Speaker 2: Braves and nineties and just he reminds me an awful
Speaker 2: lot of them. We bragged, I bragged on Austin Hayes
Speaker 2: last week, and you said, well, if he can stay healthy,
Speaker 2: and here he is on the tendil again, and that
Speaker 2: was that was a that was a brutal foul off
Speaker 2: the end step of his foot. I mean he tried
Speaker 2: to he tried to leg it out and tough it out,
Speaker 2: but no, it was that was not good.
Speaker 7: So bad for him because in high school. That's what
Speaker 7: I did. I broke my foot selling a ball off
Speaker 7: of it, and I was watching the game with my
Speaker 7: wife and said, that's going to be a problem. U.
Speaker 7: They don't make a shoe that is good enough to
Speaker 7: keep you from hurting yourself when you do that. But
Speaker 7: it's a shame because when he is healthy, especially against Lefti's,
Speaker 7: which this team is awful against Lefty's. But when he
Speaker 7: is healthy, he has done nothing but hit. But in
Speaker 7: two months he's now been on the injur list three times.
Speaker 7: Ka's issue, hamstring issue, and now the foot. You know,
Speaker 7: you hate to say fragile because I think anybody who
Speaker 7: had done what he did the other night in Kansas City,
Speaker 7: I thought his foot was broken. I'm glad it's not.
Speaker 7: It's just a contusion, But anybody who had done that
Speaker 7: would have had a hard time playing. But yeah, it's
Speaker 7: a shame because he has been so good. He has
Speaker 7: been exactly what they hoped he would be when they
Speaker 7: acquired him. He just cannot stay healthy and that's a
Speaker 7: problem for a team that has had a hard time
Speaker 7: with outfield production.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about that.
Speaker 2: The NBA playoffs, you know, we've been tracing the trajectory
Speaker 2: of your New York Knicks. And while they got pounded
Speaker 2: by the Pacers in the first couple of games, they
Speaker 2: have come back, it's they're still in the precipice of
Speaker 2: going home at three to two, especially going back to Indiana.
Speaker 2: But watching that game the other night, and I think
Speaker 2: I text you Thursday when the Knicks had secured the
Speaker 2: victory and brought the series back to Indianapolis, they shut
Speaker 2: down Teres Halliburt and that was a key. Can they
Speaker 2: do that at home? I don't think so. And but
Speaker 2: this has the potential to be one of the greater
Speaker 2: Game six is in NBA playoff history tonight, don't you think?
Speaker 5: No doubt.
Speaker 7: It's been a great series. The game Game five was
Speaker 7: the only lopsided game in the series. They've all been
Speaker 7: within ten points aside from Game five. You know, the
Speaker 7: Indiana Pacers are the NBA team that's closest to Cincinnati,
Speaker 7: and I know we're not a huge en If I
Speaker 7: was not a Knicks fan, I would fall in love
Speaker 7: with that Pacers team because I think offensively there's so
Speaker 7: much fun to watch. They share the ball, you can't
Speaker 7: double team them inside. They have shooters all over the
Speaker 7: perimeter and they play fast, and I think that's the key.
Speaker 7: If you watch Game five, what did the Knicks do.
Speaker 7: They slowed the game down. They got the game and
Speaker 7: a half court pace. When the Pacers have been really
Speaker 7: good in this series, they have played up and down.
Speaker 7: It's been a track me. So I think that's the
Speaker 7: key for Game six, and I think that'll be the
Speaker 7: key for Game seven if it gets there. How fast
Speaker 7: did they play? If they play at the pacers pace,
Speaker 7: Indiana will win. If the Knicks can mess it up
Speaker 7: and slow it down a little bit, which they did
Speaker 7: in Game five, they have more than a puncher's chance
Speaker 7: because they have two great players in Jalen Brunton and
Speaker 7: Karl Anthony Towns. And I can't wait to see if
Speaker 7: they could extend it to a Game seven tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I text you and you said you'd steal this
Speaker 2: if the Knicks won the series. But I said that
Speaker 2: was Haliburton's biggest loss since we pulled out of a rack.
Speaker 1: But listen, enjoy the rest. Are you staying in Chicago
Speaker 1: all weekend? Are you heading home or what are you doing?
Speaker 7: I am here till tomorrow. After the games.
Speaker 2: Fantastic, we'll enjoy the series and we'll talk to you
Speaker 2: next week.
Speaker 7: Most definitely.
Speaker 1: All right, fantastic counselor good out man. How you doing,
Speaker 1: I'm doing fine.
Speaker 2: Just a programming note for people who come to the
Speaker 2: after the show show from time to time.

Speaker 2: mine and Chris to two point zeros wedding anniversary today.
Speaker 2: So we thought we would spend our anniversary watching somebody
Speaker 2: else sail off into the sunset of marital bliss.
Speaker 1: Hey, and eating and drinking from free too man.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that's a big plush. You can't beat that. Hey,
Speaker 2: listen for the price of the wedding gift. I don't
Speaker 2: feel bad about it.
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding you. It's a good strategy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. So I didn't know whether
Speaker 2: we're going to keep this under rafts or not, but
Speaker 2: I'll go ahead and say it now.
Speaker 1: I'll defer to you.

Speaker 16: No surprises, but we can beat up on the Washington
Speaker 16: Post and instead of a list of times.
Speaker 1: Instead of a list of who's who, it's a list
