Speaker 1: Yeah, back when Harry was singing songs to girls, maybe
Speaker 1: we think what makes you beautiful is what makes us
Speaker 1: all beautiful. We are all unique individual creatures and creations
Speaker 1: of God Almighty. That is enough for me, Gary Jeff Walkert,
Speaker 1: five thirty six. On this Saturday, February first, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: before we look ahead to look back at significant events
Speaker 1: and people tied to this particular date in history, including
Speaker 1: but not limited to these, eighteen sixty five, abolitionist John
Speaker 1: Rock becomes the first black lawyer admitted to the bar
Speaker 1: of the US Supreme Court. Change was happening during World
Speaker 1: War II. One of America's most highly decorated military units,
Speaker 1: the four hundred and forty second Regimental Combat Team, made
Speaker 1: up almost exclusively of Japanese Americans, was activated. The year
Speaker 1: was nineteen forty three. Nineteen fifty nine, men in Switzerland
Speaker 1: rejected giving women the right to vote. Swiss women finally
Speaker 1: gained that right in nineteen seventy one. Four black college
Speaker 1: students began a sit in protest at a Woolworth's lunch
Speaker 1: counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. In this date in nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty they'd been refused service there just for being black.
Speaker 1: This date, in nineteen seventy nine a major turning point
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. Iranian religious leader Ayatola Ruola HOLMANI
Speaker 1: welcomed home by millions as he ended nearly fifteen years
Speaker 1: of exile. And that began the American hostage crisis, the
Speaker 1: taking over of our embassy, and all those other things
Speaker 1: that were acts of war, even though we seemingly haven't
Speaker 1: acted like they committed acts of war against us in
Speaker 1: the years since. Don't quite understand. Not been a good week,
Speaker 1: and that is the understatement of the morning for aviation
Speaker 1: A couple of things in the air tied to February first,
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one and arriving US JEDA airliner crashed atop
Speaker 1: a commuter plane on a runway loss and I remember
Speaker 1: seeing the piggyback thing. Thirty five people died more on
Speaker 1: things in the air going wrong in just a moment.
Speaker 1: This date. In nineteen eighty four, Jeff Galuli, remember the
Speaker 1: name Galulei, Tanya Harding's ex husband, pleaded guilty guilty to
Speaker 1: racketeering charges for a part of the attack on figure
Speaker 1: skater Nancy Kerrigan. This date. In two thousand and two,
Speaker 1: Wall Street journalist Daniel Pearl killed by Islamist militants in
Speaker 1: Pakistan after being kidnapped just nine days before that February first,
Speaker 1: two thousand and three. I remember I was on the
Speaker 1: air that Saturday morning, twenty two years ago today when
Speaker 1: the Space Shuttle Columbia broke apart as it re entered
Speaker 1: the Earth's atmosphere. I remember Darryl Parks, who was following
Speaker 1: me at nine o'clock in the morning, saying, this isn't good.
Speaker 1: It wasn't Darryl. We were all waiting for Columbia to land,
Speaker 1: and they were thirty seconds late, they were a minute late,
Speaker 1: they were five minutes late. When he said this isn't good.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately he was right, it wasn't good. All seven crew
Speaker 1: members perished. All right. Famous folks celebrating birthdays today. If
Speaker 1: you were having a February first birthday, man, I hope
Speaker 1: it's the best it could possibly be. Garrett Morris from
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live Fame, but in the early days is
Speaker 1: eighty eight today. Garrett used to do the news for
Speaker 1: the hearing and paired, where he would just yell the headlines. Cool.
Speaker 1: I guess. Princess Stephanie of Monaco is sixty today. Actress

Speaker 1: He'd like to go around two with Rowsy he's told
Speaker 1: me so. Actress Julia Garner has a birthday, she's thirty one,
Speaker 1: and we mentioned Harry Styles and again, if it's your birthday,
Speaker 1: I hope it is absolutely the best day you could
Speaker 1: possibly imagine, doing the things you love with the people
Speaker 1: you love to do them with. Truly my wish for you.
Speaker 1: We'll get you started next. It's five forty one on

Speaker 1: back there in fact tomorrow, cloudy in fifty seven for
Speaker 1: a high, mostly cloudy on Monday all the way up
Speaker 1: to sixty six before we fall off again on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Maybe the groundhog will tell us everything we need to know.
Speaker 1: Maybe just the temperatures tell us everything we need to know.
Speaker 1: It's chilly start though, And here is Liam Tomlinson with
Speaker 1: seven hundred wl Sports Squire, what's going on today?

Speaker 1: I hope they don't cheer him. I hope they don't
Speaker 1: boo him. I hope they act like he doesn't matter. Silence.
Speaker 3: I think that would hurt him worse almost John Chapras
Speaker 3: emotional guy.

Speaker 9: But my boys went south.
Speaker 1: Well, well, sweetie, I hate that I talked to UH.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if you've ever heard of
Speaker 1: the man named Jay Ratliffe. Jay Ratliffe is UH, the
Speaker 1: aviation expert who's known not only here in Cincinnati, but

Speaker 1: terrible plane crash in Philadelphia or earlier in the week
Speaker 1: the plane crash in Washington, d C. In Arlington, Virginia,
Speaker 1: rather where sadly there was so much loss of life.
Speaker 1: And I asked him if he'd come on with me
Speaker 1: this morning when I was texting me, he said, no voice,
Speaker 1: So he's going through it too. I have had laryngitis
Speaker 1: in this while doing this job. I've had laryngitis about
Speaker 1: three times, and it got to the point where I
Speaker 1: had to take off a week of work because I
Speaker 1: simply couldn't talk. I couldn't get anything else. So I
Speaker 1: know exactly how you're feeling, babe, and I hope that
Speaker 1: you feel better.
Speaker 7: My boys left about nine.
Speaker 10: O'clock last night.
Speaker 1: Right, No, you're right, and I felt fine other than
Speaker 1: I couldn't talk right, And you know what, that's a
Speaker 1: job hazard when you work in radio. If you can't talk,
Speaker 1: it's kind of a moot point, right, and you.
Speaker 11: Can't it's saying is you can't breathe.
Speaker 9: You can't breathe? You get think?
Speaker 8: It took me eight hours?
Speaker 10: Eed a meal?

Speaker 1: I'd have to take a nap in between.
Speaker 7: Stop wasting time.
Speaker 11: I was shying to chew and trying to breathe. So
Speaker 11: I allowed this with chewing and breathe and drake plenty
Speaker 11: of fruit, juice of that water yesterday. It's weird.

Speaker 1: You're on the comeback trio.
Speaker 7: Mam Tree Big three weeks now. It has a name
Speaker 7: of Blue.
Speaker 1: Mama Tree has the flu blues this morning. And you know,
Speaker 1: Mam Tree, you know what the blues are. No, the
Speaker 1: blues are just a good person feeling bad.
Speaker 7: It's not too much that, it's just that I can't praize.
Speaker 1: All right, baby, Well you get off the phone and
Speaker 1: get yourself better and we'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 3: Okay, that should be better, all right.
Speaker 1: Dear, thank you poor thing. But if you're not a

Speaker 1: and some grinning and just a little visiting with our
Speaker 1: friend Dick from Dayton, Good morning.

Speaker 1: You sound good? Poor Lynette, Mam Tree. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you heard her, but yeah, to bad to barely
Speaker 1: croak it out, man. I. So we're prayers forrmometry this morning.
Speaker 1: What's been going on in your neck of the woods.
Speaker 13: Well, I finally got to get up to the little
Speaker 13: Dulcimer group on Monday up at Saint Leona, it's about
Speaker 13: five minutes from here, and we had a pretty good crowd.
Speaker 13: Everybody was I know Marshall lives out toward Germantown. Oh,
Speaker 13: pretty good. And then I got a couple of calls
Speaker 13: from my friends the strummers. Somebody's trying to come in
Speaker 13: and get me some transportation. And that's for good. So
Speaker 13: I'll be going. One of my friends is gonna pick
Speaker 13: me up. The band Joe group couldn't play for a
Speaker 13: month because of the bad weather. But my friend John
Speaker 13: is gonna, I think pick me up.
Speaker 1: John's a good guy.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, he's been around thirty eight years. He's got
Speaker 13: Weber automotives. A great guy, great guy.
Speaker 1: All right. So so anyway, the dulcimer group, how was
Speaker 1: that good?
Speaker 14: It was good?
Speaker 13: It was good.
Speaker 1: Now what is for? For people who don't know, Dick
Speaker 1: explain what a dulcimer is. What it looks like.
Speaker 13: It's an instint from it was back at the Appellations.
Speaker 13: It's uh, you put it on your lap and it's
Speaker 13: got three strings and that you pay like oh Crypple
Speaker 13: Creek or this land is your land. You can do
Speaker 13: uh songs like that. It's an instn out of the
Speaker 13: Native Americans. It fits in with the mandolin, banjo and guitar.
Speaker 1: Very nice, very nice. And now, how how do you
Speaker 1: play much dulcimer?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 13: I can't play dulcimer. No, I a little bit, but
Speaker 13: I'm more. I've picked up the uke and the banjo
Speaker 13: uke a little bit more now, more than the mandolin.
Speaker 1: I've heard. I've heard and seen you play the mandolin.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and a little banjo youth, remember.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember the little banjo.
Speaker 13: Have you heard from days?
Speaker 1: You know what? I haven't even checked my phone yet
Speaker 1: this morning, he usually texts me. And there's no predictions
Speaker 1: really to make this weekend since the Bengals obviously aren't
Speaker 1: playing until next year. And there's there is Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: Flag Football? Who are the teams? Liam and the Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl flag Football? Okay, so each conference has a flag
Speaker 1: football team. Have you ever seen flag football?
Speaker 8: Dick?
Speaker 13: Not too much. No, I don't know anything about it, buddy.
Speaker 1: Well, I tell you what it's. It's it's a pitiful sport.
Speaker 1: And I know this because it was something that I
Speaker 1: could play back in the day, because I'm not very

Speaker 1: appeal is. And by the way, I also, thanks to
Speaker 1: our friend Ron Wilson, I have a a grading the
Speaker 1: Groundhog's piece and a couple of weeks ago chip Hart
Speaker 1: had somebody on who was giving groundhog recipes that you know,
Speaker 1: Ron Wilson used to get paid when he was younger
Speaker 1: to kill groundhogs, and then he would take them to
Speaker 1: Hazelwood and sell them for a dollar apiece. I guess
Speaker 1: as food. I have never had ground Have you ever
Speaker 1: had groundhog?
Speaker 18: Gary Jeff?
Speaker 9: Absolutely not.

Speaker 9: What does punks Attorney Phil call his dirty laundry?
Speaker 1: What does pucksatoni Phil call his dirty laundry?
Speaker 9: Hogwash?
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you?
Speaker 18: I was dropped on my head when I was little.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe somebody should do it again and it'll reverse
Speaker 1: the effects of.
Speaker 20: What jokes told by Da from Harrison are not necessarily
Speaker 20: considered funny by the staff, management, or advertisers of seven
Speaker 20: hundred WLW or his parent company, iHeartMedia. If these attempts
Speaker 20: at humor have caused you to roll your eyes, made
Speaker 20: your stomach churn, or you have considered the entire exercise
Speaker 20: to be a colossal waste of time, we deeply apologize.
Speaker 20: Now back to our irregular programming.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, six thirteen tuning into the radio. I wonder
Speaker 1: if you're tuning in on one of these wonderful antique
Speaker 1: pieces that our friends Rick Washburn works on day and night.
Speaker 1: The hobby has turned into the Pineapple Palace Museum. And uh,
Speaker 1: every Saturday morning he calls and gives us a reception
Speaker 1: report on whatever happens to be working, whatever's on the
Speaker 1: bench this morning. And let's find out who the winner
Speaker 1: is today, all radio, Rick, Good.
Speaker 14: Morning, Good morning Gary, Jeff. The winner is a five
Speaker 14: y five receiver and it's a it's a the Helicrafters.
Speaker 14: Thankfully they dropped the afterwards, because it's like, what kind
Speaker 14: of a radio do you have? I have a the Helicrafters.
Speaker 1: I have seen helicrafters radios, and they're pretty marvelous, aren't they.
Speaker 14: They are. Indeed, they made both regular consumer sets as
Speaker 14: well as ones like this, which is a communications receiver
Speaker 14: from nineteen fifty nine. This is a s X one ten,
Speaker 14: which is a five band, eight tube, eleven knob, two
Speaker 14: switch and zero speaker radio speaker sold separately, and yet
Speaker 14: it was still eighteen hundred bucks, so.
Speaker 1: You got to get it out funny. You got to
Speaker 1: listen with headphones or just attach a separate speaker.
Speaker 14: Either one absolutely up. It comes with a headphone jack
Speaker 14: if you're an amateur radio operator that chooses to use
Speaker 14: the phones instead. Otherwise you buy a separate speaker because
Speaker 14: apparently eighteen hundred dollars wouldn't cover it. Oddly enough, in
Speaker 14: the catalog. Wise, I found a listing for this in
Speaker 14: the nineteen sixty five series catalog because they made this
Speaker 14: for many years, but I couldn't find anything funny about it.
Speaker 14: It was actually very accurate and well written, so abandoning that,
Speaker 14: I did find a head from Holoicrafters, which again they
Speaker 14: dropped the just at the top, it's already tomorrow on
Speaker 14: the other side of the world, and tonight you can
Speaker 14: hear what's happening on your Holoicrafters World range radio? So
Speaker 14: today you can hear tomorrow tonight.
Speaker 1: That's excellent.
Speaker 14: I'm traveled maybe.
Speaker 9: Well.
Speaker 14: And the best part is the picture. In a very
Speaker 14: nineteen sixties looking room, given all the pastel colors, you
Speaker 14: have Dad who is adjusting the radio which is pointed
Speaker 14: towards us, although his adjustment is his thumb's on the
Speaker 14: power switch, So I don't know how much adjustment that's.
Speaker 1: That's right. If you're a dad in those days, you
Speaker 1: always had your thumb on the power switch.
Speaker 14: And then you got the two kids behind the radio.
Speaker 14: Boredom does not fully describe The looks are lack thereof
Speaker 14: on their faces.
Speaker 1: Well, there's no space. What does dad doing fiddling with
Speaker 1: this box? I don't know what it does. You've got
Speaker 1: these weird headphones on. I have no idea. He's got
Speaker 1: his thumb on the power switch. But what does it do?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 14: Even better, if you hold up a CB microphone in
Speaker 14: front of it, you can pretend that it's a transceiver,
Speaker 14: which is what they did on season one, episode twelve
Speaker 14: of Ironside. Did same model. Now that's useful trivia.
Speaker 1: Now, how how extensively. Have you studied Ironside reruns?
Speaker 8: Rick?
Speaker 1: It sounds like you spent way too much time with
Speaker 1: Raymond Burr in a wheelchair, which is just a weird
Speaker 1: thing to say to anybody. But no, I mean, so,
Speaker 1: how do you know? It was season one, episode twelve
Speaker 1: of Ironside that they showed this particular radio.
Speaker 14: On because they just happened to see it yesterday, which
Speaker 14: it was really ironic since I was actually working on
Speaker 14: this radio. But the best line from Ironside, though, I
Speaker 14: think throughout the entire series, was are you joking? And
Speaker 14: the Ironside says, I haven't joked since nineteen fifty eight.
Speaker 14: It's the classic Raymond Burr line. And by the way,
Speaker 14: watch him as the judge and airplane to classic moment.
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's great. There's there's no question.
Speaker 14: We miss him.
Speaker 1: My favorite Raymond Burr impression is from Ironsides, and it's
Speaker 1: just as simple mock mock. He just yell at Mark.
Speaker 1: That's all I do, is just yell at Mark to
Speaker 1: come push him around's right in his electric wheelchair. So again,
Speaker 1: give me, give me, give me, give me a model
Speaker 1: the model of this the Helicrafters radio you're talking about
Speaker 1: this morning.
Speaker 14: S X as in sam X ray one one zero.
Speaker 1: All right, fantastic, I'll look for it. Rick, have a
Speaker 1: fantastic weekend.
Speaker 14: What was that you did, the same, Buddy, I was
Speaker 14: going to say in the attractive metal gray case.
Speaker 1: There's nothing sexier than a metal gray case.
Speaker 14: That right, That's what the SX stands for. Have a
Speaker 14: great weekend, my friend.
Speaker 1: You can find Rick Washburn at Old Radio Rick at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. Thirties.
Speaker 17: We see a decent amount of cloud covers today and
Speaker 17: tempters top out in the low forties, back down into

Speaker 1: Seven WLW Sport. It's full Saturday and Sunday, full of
Speaker 1: sports and with the reports. Here's Liam Tomlins.
Speaker 3: Some f C Cincinnati news, and there's some drama to
Speaker 3: start camp with f C Cincinnati star and former league
Speaker 3: MVP Luciano Costa. He finally arrived at camp a little
Speaker 3: bit late. What it looks like he might be heading
Speaker 3: back to Argentina to play for Studiantes de la Plata
Speaker 3: as s CE Cincinnati. Acosta and that team in Argentina
Speaker 3: are working out a deal.
Speaker 1: I mean that has been pretty much what everyone expected,
Speaker 1: was him going back to Argentina. I mean, for like months,
Speaker 1: that's been the speculation, and then when he didn't show
Speaker 1: up to camp, it kind of cemented that feeling. And
Speaker 1: so he's back, but for how long?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, soccer contracts are super weird and the transferport
Speaker 3: not transfer portal was singing college sports now, but the
Speaker 3: transfer market, it's just a totally different sport. It's kind
Speaker 3: of an interesting aspect of soccer that's kind of underappreciated,
Speaker 3: that you can hop the league to league by this
Speaker 3: the Reds. It's officially February, which means that baseball season
Speaker 3: is quickly approaching. Pitchers and catchers report February tenth. Full
Speaker 3: squad workouts begin February seventeenth. There's fifty three days until

Speaker 1: Thirty as a Wildcat fan, Liam, how do you feel
Speaker 1: about this?
Speaker 3: So I was a young buck. I'm born in O one.
Speaker 3: I grew up with John cal Perry in like the
Speaker 3: peak of my childhood through my teenage years. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: it's a very emotional, you know, like they were the
Speaker 3: greatest modern and the greatest run in modern era from
Speaker 3: nine to twenty sixteen. He'd say, probably twenty seventeen too,
Speaker 3: But it was time for a change. You're losing the
Speaker 3: first round. The last few years, things get stale. You
Speaker 3: can't be at Kentucky forever. Sometimes you gotta know when
Speaker 3: to leave and no, when to fold them, no when
Speaker 3: to walk away.
Speaker 1: The Bearcats playing tomorrow, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they host West Virginia tomorrow at two Pregame coverage
Speaker 3: begins at one thirty. Right here on seven hundred, wlw
Speaker 3: K was on the road in Michigan to face Oakland.
Speaker 3: Jim kelsch Rick Broings covered the game. Begains at three thirty.
Speaker 3: Tip a set for four. You can catch that action
Speaker 3: on ESPN fifteen thirty and some NFL news. The Pro
Speaker 3: Bowl is tomorrow and that is just the flag football game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's years waste of time. It gets great. That's
Speaker 1: the only reason it's still on TV. He didn't watch
Speaker 1: the Trivia and Skills Challenge. No, Well, Joe Burrow was
Speaker 1: very vocal at the Pro Bowl this year. The media
Speaker 1: was asking him plenty of questions and he was vocal
Speaker 1: about his teammates getting the money they deserve. And you
Speaker 1: can say that's for t Higgins, Jamar Chase and Trey Hendrickson.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of question marks going into next season.
Speaker 1: Could this be a Carson Palmer two point zero situation?
Speaker 1: Eventually it's going to get frustrating. And this is all
Speaker 1: against the backdrop of what happens with pay Corpse Stadium
Speaker 1: and the lease is up in next year twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: How significant do you think that plays into everything? Gary,
Speaker 1: Jeff I think at all is you know, they're all
Speaker 1: moving parts here. I'm gonna ask you a question, Liam,
Speaker 1: what do you know about groundhogs?
Speaker 3: I mean groundhog days, top three day of the year.
Speaker 3: That's all I know. I mean they're underground.
Speaker 1: Okay, So apparently the legend is if the groundhog comes
Speaker 1: out of his hole hut, as the case is in
Speaker 1: Gobbler's Noob, Pennsylvania, they're in PUCKSATONI and he sees his shadow,
Speaker 1: he'll run back inside in fear, and there'll be six
Speaker 1: more weeks of winter. If, on the other hand, the
Speaker 1: groundhog doesn't see his shadow, it means an early spring.
Speaker 1: And I would say it's way too early to say this,
Speaker 1: but I'll go ahead and make the prediction now, one
Speaker 1: day ahead of the groundhog that we have an early spring.
Speaker 1: We've got an early spring in the week in front
Speaker 1: of us. It's only going to get better. But how
Speaker 1: good is pusytani phil as compared to the groundhogs? And
Speaker 1: there are many weather predicting groundhogs around the country. How good?
Speaker 1: Where does pusatani phil rate amongst the top groundhogs? Would
Speaker 1: you be surprised if I told you seventeenth. He's not
Speaker 1: even in the top ten. I think he's a big
Speaker 1: market merchant. Carry Jeff and some of these, some of
Speaker 1: these aren't even groundhogs, but they are predicting spring or winter.
Speaker 1: Continuing at number nineteen on the list. I don't know
Speaker 1: how a turtle got on the list, but Mohave Max,
Speaker 1: a tortoise from Nevada, has twenty five percent accuracy. Woody
Speaker 1: the woodchuck, a groundhog in Mississippi has thirty five percent accuracy.
Speaker 1: Pusatani Phil is only right thirty five percent of the time,
Speaker 1: and yet he gets all of the press, and he
Speaker 1: does worse than a taxidermy groundhog named Snowgada Hall Sammy
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania is right thirty eight point eight nine percent
Speaker 1: of the time, in fifteenth place among groundhog weather forecasters.
Speaker 1: Uni the groundhog, also in Pennsylvania, is right forty seven
Speaker 1: point three percent of the time, and he's fifteenth. Poor Richard,
Speaker 1: another taxidermy groundhog that predicts the weather in Pennsylvania, is
Speaker 1: right fifty percent of the time. Flip a Coin Holtsville
Speaker 1: Howe in New York at number thirteen fifty percent of
Speaker 1: the time. This groundhog is right. At least it's not
Speaker 1: a taxidermat groundsbog number twelve. Dunkirk Dave, a groundhog in
Speaker 1: New York, fifty percent of the time at number eleven.
Speaker 1: Ok torroro octaaro octororo, I don't know octrro orphi, a
Speaker 1: groundhog again in Pennsylvania, is fifty two point sixty three
Speaker 1: percent of the time. He knows how many groundhogs are
Speaker 1: actually from Pennsylvania. There must be something in the water
Speaker 1: or in the ground. I don't know. Probably at the
Speaker 1: it's the Pennsylvanians, the top ten groundhog predictors. Later on
Speaker 1: in the show, as we continue on seven hundred WLW
Speaker 1: at six twenty oh, friends, let's head each I'm toasting you,
Speaker 1: sid Honey, we may be thrown dude, you'll never care
Speaker 1: me convey no less where the whiskey ground landed?
Speaker 6: Their chas is not.
Speaker 1: What it'll be, Okay, Lan's head I eased. As I mentioned.
Speaker 1: Fifty two is the highway and the place is lovely Ripley, Ohio.
Speaker 1: How now Brown County and the more specifically Brookie Saloon
Speaker 1: on Main Street where the Gang is standing by on
Speaker 1: this Groundhog Day weekend. Good morning, gang, What was that.
Speaker 8: Your favorite Saturday morning?
Speaker 16: Captain Riggers?
Speaker 1: Oh okay? What did you yell?
Speaker 16: Show me the money?
Speaker 1: Oh okay? I couldn't understand it. It just sounded like
Speaker 1: maybe someone was slaughtering you. So I've got to I've
Speaker 1: gotta now, Ripley, does Ripley have a groundhog? I know
Speaker 1: you've got a beaver there, Sherry your beaver? Does your
Speaker 1: beaver predict the weather? I know? Sometimes? Uh, you have
Speaker 1: forecast the weather with the aid of your beaver. Does
Speaker 1: your beaver? Does your beaver predict an early spring or
Speaker 1: late winter?
Speaker 21: Well, the beaver thinks it's going to be an early spring. However,
Speaker 21: he's hanging out with his friends tonight, the groundhouls. I'm
Speaker 21: a big party for tomorrow, of course, so he's gonna
Speaker 21: hang out with him.
Speaker 1: So, but is there is there a groundhog?
Speaker 9: Then?
Speaker 1: In Ripley, what I've I remember other conversations we've had
Speaker 1: when you were at the other location where routine lee
Speaker 1: you would advertise that you were having groundhog for breakfast.
Speaker 1: Have you ever cooked a groundhog? Anybody there?
Speaker 21: I haven't anybody here that groundhog.
Speaker 19: No, well, we do have a local here that can's groundhog,
Speaker 19: so that one won't be getting out very much.
Speaker 1: Well, so what do you mean can's groundhogs.
Speaker 19: Prepares it and cans it for a later time to eat.
Speaker 9: It, so preserves it.
Speaker 1: But you've you've not partaken of any of this canned groundhog?
Speaker 1: Is that correct, Doug?
Speaker 19: No, No, I have not, but I got pictures of it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm very curious. Please send me a
Speaker 1: screenshot of a picture of canned groundhog. I've never seen
Speaker 1: that before in my life.
Speaker 9: I can do that.
Speaker 1: No, I mean people cook raccoons, they cook groundhogs, they
Speaker 1: cook all all number of things that I can't ever
Speaker 1: imagine putting in my mouth. Is it just because I'm
Speaker 1: spoiled and like to have the food brought to me
Speaker 1: in the traditional way? Or is it? Am I wise
Speaker 1: to steer clear of the h Gary Burbank used to
Speaker 1: call it have a sponsor that was weasel the other
Speaker 1: yellow meat.
Speaker 19: Yes, Oh, I just think you would have diplared life.
Speaker 1: That's all now impossible in hearing my Ivory radio tower.
Speaker 1: So what's going on at Brookies.
Speaker 19: Oh, it's gonna be a big week here with the
Speaker 19: Queen of hertstrawing.
Speaker 10: On Wednesday at seven point thirty.
Speaker 9: Over one hundred and twenty thousand.
Speaker 19: Dollars is up for gram Yatzi And Yeah, and tonight
Speaker 19: looks like Trevor easter Camp at seven pm.
Speaker 14: He'll be playing here at.
Speaker 1: The bar Cherry. Did you ever relocate the weather rock?
Speaker 1: Did you ever find it?
Speaker 16: Yes?
Speaker 21: I went down there this morning. It is backed up
Speaker 21: and running and the rockets are still there, and of
Speaker 21: course the river was coming up. I wasn't worried maybe
Speaker 21: they might get washed out. So but I don't think
Speaker 21: it's going to botherroom, so that's good.
Speaker 1: Well, if the water gets much higher, please move the
Speaker 1: weather rock to higher ground, because as you know, as
Speaker 1: we've discussed, this is the number one tourist attraction in
Speaker 1: Ripley over over, even over the ranking house.
Speaker 14: That is true.
Speaker 1: Ye yeah, let's see underground railroad weather rock. People are
Speaker 1: choosing the weather rock. All right, guys, it's true. Have
Speaker 1: a fantastic weekend. We'll see you later.

Speaker 23: people are listening to the radio on iHeart today than
Speaker 23: they did twenty.
Speaker 1: It's hard to believe that was that many years ago.
Speaker 1: That song super Tramp take It a Long Way Home,
Speaker 1: I think was out in nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. So off the tangent and back to the show.
Speaker 1: Steve from Metnez standing by with a pissy phone call,
Speaker 1: A wonderful, a wonderfully pissy phone call, A beautiful Donald
Speaker 1: Trump would say, A big, beautiful phone call, a perfect
Speaker 1: phone call from atn Ohio. Steve, good morning.
Speaker 18: Judge, not sg B judge.
Speaker 22: We've heard that one before. The Democrats and some rhinos
Speaker 22: on Capitol Hill have been judging the hell to use
Speaker 22: a theological term out of Trump's various nominees when they
Speaker 22: couldn't pass the same lidment's test. One of their favorite
Speaker 22: gripes is the claim that folks like Pete Hegseeth at
Speaker 22: the Pentagon and Tulca Gabbard at Intelligence don't have the
Speaker 22: experience to qualify for their jobs, but in fact they do.
Speaker 22: Heag Seth, a career veteran, isn't one of those stodgy generals.
Speaker 22: He's inclined to look after the interests of the men
Speaker 22: and women in uniform rather than that of the top
Speaker 22: brass who perund d C with enough stars, medals and
Speaker 22: ribbons to cause severe back problems and a lot of
Speaker 22: disability pay to go along with their fat pensions. Tulsi
Speaker 22: Gabbert sin is that she's a former executive on the
Speaker 22: Democrat National Committee, so she's a traitor to the socialist
Speaker 22: communist agenda. She's also not too damn crazy about war,
Speaker 22: which makes her a threat to the military industrial complex,
Speaker 22: which makes her a threat to Daddy Warbucks and all
Speaker 22: that money that flows from arms dealers into the pockets
Speaker 22: of members of Congress. She's also a veteran of military service,
Speaker 22: but thank god, not general grade. This kind of fear
Speaker 22: and loathing in Washington, d C is beautifully demonstrated by
Speaker 22: Senator Pocahontas Warren of the People's Republic of Massachusetts, where
Speaker 22: big pharma player Moderna is located. Moderna just got a
Speaker 22: six hundred million dollars Biden Research Award, which Moderna will
Speaker 22: undoubtedly convert into yet another inoculation for the masses. Pocahontas
Speaker 22: demanded this week that Bobby Kennedy Junior announced that he
Speaker 22: will never sue a drug company, especially I suppose if
Speaker 22: that drug company is one that has contributed to Warren's
Speaker 22: campaign war Chest watchdog group Open Secrets has followed Liz
Speaker 22: Warren and other judges of nominee's fitness and found that
Speaker 22: she has taken over seven hundred thousand dollars from Big
Speaker 22: Pharma just in the past five years. Socialist Senator Bernie
Speaker 22: Sanders of Vermont nearly had a stroke when Bobby Kennedy
Speaker 22: at his Health and Human Services Department nomination hearing noted
Speaker 22: that Bernie is one of many the hip pocket of
Speaker 22: big Pharma. Unfortunately for Bernie, well, fortunately for Bernie, really,
Speaker 22: he was not under oath when he screamed foul. Why
Speaker 22: because Bernie Sanders took one point five million dollars from
Speaker 22: Big Pharma during his aborted twenty twenty presidential nomination campaign.
Speaker 22: Way to go, Bernie. But Bernie is not alone among
Speaker 22: the judges on Capitol Hill Finance Committee, breanking member Ron
Speaker 22: Wyden of Oregon has taken a cool two point five
Speaker 22: million from Big Pharma. Senator Mark Warner of Virginia isn't
Speaker 22: really trying that hard. He only took a million Republican Rhinos.
Speaker 22: Lisa Burkowski and Susan Collins have taken seven hundred thousand
Speaker 22: and one point four million, respectively.
Speaker 9: You get the idea, follow the money.
Speaker 22: Washington is so awash in dirty money. Even the Congressional
Speaker 22: Budget Office has reported that last year the federal government
Speaker 22: spend half a trillion dollars on so called zombie programs.
Speaker 22: Excuse me, yep, that have expired. Yes, they've expired, and
Speaker 22: Congress has not authorized these funds for their continuance. How
Speaker 22: can that be? It raises the question are the employees
Speaker 22: getting paid? Are they working from home or from another universe,
Speaker 22: perhaps commuting using those bus like drones we see flying
Speaker 22: all over the place. Openthebooks dot com. Another watchdog group
Speaker 22: went to the Federal Register, which lists all three hundred
Speaker 22: and sixty six federal agencies. One fifth of them are
Speaker 22: listed as defunct or obsolete. But these zombie agencies are
Speaker 22: still getting your money. Page three. It was revealed this
Speaker 22: week that the person who brought molotov cocktails to d
Speaker 22: C with the express content intent of eliminating prominent Republicans,
Speaker 22: including the President, is trans trans to what might be
Speaker 22: the question, There is something called ziz trans terror COULT,
Speaker 22: two of whose members murdered a US Border agent in
Speaker 22: Vermont on an inauguration day. The FEDS believe they are
Speaker 22: part of a network that killed the Pennsylvania parents of
Speaker 22: one of those Vermont fe mails and is connected to
Speaker 22: other murders in California. One of the Vermont gruesome, Tussoen,
Speaker 22: was a German national who was killed at the scene,
Speaker 22: and the other is a University of Washington student. But
Speaker 22: there is good news for the governor. Ronde Status has
Speaker 22: become the first governor to refer to the Gulf of
Speaker 22: America in an official document. If Mike the Wine we're
Speaker 22: on the ball, he'd refer to Lake Erie as Lake Ohio.
Speaker 22: If Michigan can have a lake, why can't us? And
Speaker 22: an auger At for the day, the big day tomorrow,
Speaker 22: I asked Democrats, get your punk, get with punk, Satni Phil,
Speaker 22: and get your head out of your hole. And I
Speaker 22: predict that Dayton Dick will come out of his hole
Speaker 22: tomorrow and predict Chi's twenty seven Eagles twenty four. Okay,
Speaker 22: that's it.
Speaker 1: Perfect. Thank you Steve from ed in, Ohio. My friend
Speaker 1: Ray Scott from leveland chiming in on a Saturday morning.
Speaker 18: How you doing, brother, Ray, Good morning, Good morning friend
Speaker 18: had dropped the mic on that one.
Speaker 9: Good job Steve.
Speaker 18: Did, I say a hearty amen everything that he espoused,
Speaker 18: and you know, here's here's the take on a little
Speaker 18: piece from this last week. You know, the governor of
Speaker 18: Illinois proudly proclaimed that he would not allow He put
Speaker 18: out an edex statewide that the state of Illinois was
Speaker 18: not to employ or hire any January sixth folks that
Speaker 18: received a pardon, any of the people that were pardoned
Speaker 18: by the President of the United States, which means that
Speaker 18: their record should be clean, and they were going to
Speaker 18: discriminate against them. He was very proud to say that
Speaker 18: because he said, no one who would attack their government
Speaker 18: should work for their government. Now, the other side of
Speaker 18: the coin is the same governor and the mayor of
Speaker 18: Chicago have immigrants, you know, the Department of Ice, you know,
Speaker 18: Immigration Customs Enforcement. Not only is the State of Illinois
Speaker 18: in the City of Chicago not working with those agents
Speaker 18: to help root out folks who have entered this country
Speaker 18: not only illegally, but that are convicts and are in
Speaker 18: jail incarcerated. They would not work with them to get
Speaker 18: to these folks that are in jail, not just illegal immigrants,
Speaker 18: but they are, they are incarcerated. They went so far
Speaker 18: as to they have been releasing releasing these folks from
Speaker 18: jail and hopes to help them evade.
Speaker 1: Well, of course, the problem ray is that they're harboring fugitives.
Speaker 1: They are breaking a federal law themselves by not cooperating
Speaker 1: with an agency of the federal government that is actually
Speaker 1: only enforcing federal law. Because as has one of the
Speaker 1: nominees said, quite plainly, I believe it was was it
Speaker 1: Pam Bondi or who was it who said no, it
Speaker 1: was Caroline Levitt, the new Press secretary, at the press
Speaker 1: briefer earlier in the week, said if you've entered the
Speaker 1: country illegally, you are a criminal. Because they were trying
Speaker 1: to parse between people who had committed violent crimes and
Speaker 1: other illegals, but she made the point over and over again,
Speaker 1: if you entered the country illegally, you have committed a crime.
Speaker 1: It's a federal crime. It's not a civil crime. It's
Speaker 1: a federal crime, and you should be escorted out. It's
Speaker 1: just that plain. And the Steve's other points ray about
Speaker 1: the grilling of RFK Junior when they wouldn't they'd ask
Speaker 1: a question and wouldn't let him answer a question. And
Speaker 1: the the great marathon battle with Bernie Sanders, which was
Speaker 1: awesome when Bernie had the money pushed right back in
Speaker 1: his face that he's taken over the years as a
Speaker 1: member of Congress. Corrupt Washington, d C. Is on notice
Speaker 1: from Donald Trump and everybody that he has hired to
Speaker 1: work for him for us. It's a great thing to see.
Speaker 1: I'm very pleased with what they have done so far,
Speaker 1: and I'm glad that Congress the Senate saw fit ray
Speaker 1: to confirm both Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy because this
Speaker 1: week we needed a Secretary of Defense and a Secretary
Speaker 1: of Transportation in their offices on the ground and working.
Speaker 1: It's been kind of a wonderful revelation to watch these
Speaker 1: guys work right away. You know, the terrible plane crash
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. And now another in Philadelphia with
Speaker 1: the medjet that crashed yesterday, even tragic loss of life,
Speaker 1: but our federal government back is back, with confident people
Speaker 1: in charge and taking the bull by the horns, so
Speaker 1: to speak, immediately. It's been a wonderful thing to see.
Speaker 1: And there are more on the way.
Speaker 18: Brother he well leave on a light note. I think
Speaker 18: the reason that they're fighting Bobby so hard is because
Speaker 18: when he makes America healthy again, Pray God, that's going
Speaker 18: to ruin social Security. We're control until about one hundred
Speaker 18: and twenty years old. So that's my little joke. So
Speaker 18: God bless your brother.
Speaker 1: Your lips to God's ears. Thank you, Ray, God bless you,
Speaker 1: and we'll take a break. Steve Shilty. On the other
Speaker 1: side of seven o'clock this morning.
Speaker 3: At nine, Mike Allen goes where other hosts dare not
Speaker 3: tread and done not talking about the men's room. On

Speaker 1: What a wonderful Steve Schulte, a retired environmental engineer with
Speaker 1: news and notes you may not here anywhere else, as
Speaker 1: it pertains as it pertains to the environment and sustainable
Speaker 1: energy and all the rest. Before we get into that, though,
Speaker 1: we have special kudos for your son, Matt the toe
Speaker 1: Shulti his cocktail. He of course is a hospitality expert
Speaker 1: in the city of New Orleans, where, of course he
Speaker 1: is where, of course, the super Bowl is happening next
Speaker 1: Sunday and for the weekend. His special cocktail, Royal Blues,
Speaker 1: was selected as the welcome cocktail at the entrance of
Speaker 1: the NFL Commissioner's Super Bowl Ball coming up on Friday
Speaker 1: on the seventh. That is a major accomplishment.
Speaker 26: This it is. And he also said the NFL wanted
Speaker 26: the number of his cocktail recipes for other events. I
Speaker 26: have asked him if he's getting the cut of any
Speaker 26: of those, but he had not responded. But the other
Speaker 26: thing is is kind of not funny. But he said
Speaker 26: he had to go through security checks of the f FBI,
Speaker 26: the NFL, and a private security company just to do this.
Speaker 26: So yep, so yeah, you know, we're we're very proud
Speaker 26: of him. So uh, once again our obese government agency
Speaker 26: gets it wrong. This comes from Heartland dot org. Uh.
Speaker 26: Contrary to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration aka NOAH,
Speaker 26: Arctic ice is well within the range of observed variability.
Speaker 26: Tony Heller, who runs the popular climate uh science website
Speaker 26: at climate excuse Me Real climatescience dot com, points out
Speaker 26: that NOAH recently claimed that the Arctic ice in recent
Speaker 26: years are misleading Noah. Once again, they cherry picked the
Speaker 26: data to make it appear that the loss of Antarctic
Speaker 26: ice is words and in recent decades and now outside
Speaker 26: the range of observed variability. And of cause, of course,
Speaker 26: Gary Jeffers, that's because of yours and minds exhalation of
Speaker 26: carbon dioxide.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but don't just don't breathe anyway. Tony Heller looked
Speaker 1: at what.
Speaker 26: Looked at all the data of recent years, and it
Speaker 26: shows that innerds ice extent is fact well within historical
Speaker 26: natural variability. You know, nature is not constant. Nature and
Speaker 26: climate constantly change. In fact, December of twenty twenty four's
Speaker 26: ice extent is great is greater than nineteen seventy nine,
Speaker 26: eighty eighty two, eighty six, eighty nine, ninety one, ninety two. Well,
Speaker 26: you get together, idea, and every year since two thy
Speaker 26: and sixteen ices ice extent has increased thirty six percent
Speaker 26: in just the last two years. In fact, the low
Speaker 26: ice levels occurred forty plus years ago when the temperature
Speaker 26: is much much cooler and CO two levels were lower.
Speaker 26: So you know, once again, these government agencies they get
Speaker 26: it wrong because you, like you say, Gary, Jeff Darryl
Speaker 26: Parts would say, follow the money.
Speaker 1: They're they're paid to get it wrong.
Speaker 26: Yeah, government agencies got to create the problems in order
Speaker 26: to get more money. If everything goes hunky dory, they
Speaker 26: go out of business.
Speaker 1: I don't know why that's so hard for most people
Speaker 1: to understand and see that it's an obvious duh.
Speaker 26: Of course, what other business can you be in to
Speaker 26: create your own demand and then demand more money to
Speaker 26: solve it, but of course not solve it, but just
Speaker 26: make it worse so that you get more money.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, God, bless the God, bless the penguins. Uh, Steve, Steve,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. At seven eleven at seven hundred
Speaker 1: W l W. Harrison Today, it's cold, forty for a
Speaker 1: high this afternoon, and that is it. Tomorrow we zoom
Speaker 1: back up to fifty seven for a high temp and
Speaker 1: Monday mostly cloudy and all the way up to sixty six,
Speaker 1: Got a Ways to Go Now it's thirty two, it's
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW. I saw something this week that just
Speaker 1: astounded me. This song Physical by Olivia Newton John stayed
Speaker 1: at the top of the charts longer than any other
Speaker 1: song in the eighties, which is just crazy. Roco Costellano
Speaker 1: is here the first Dawn of Fitness in the Tri State. Trainer,
Speaker 1: biohacker and overall fitness guru, Roco Costellano joins us now
Speaker 1: and this morning we are talking nuts, right, Yes we are.
Speaker 9: Yes, we are. Yet we are talking nuts, and we're
Speaker 9: talking about a nut allergy. I wrote a article on
Speaker 9: my blog about.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here reading it.
Speaker 9: The crazy, the crazy way that nut allergies came into
Speaker 9: you know, into a fruition for for nearly.
Speaker 1: It's an epidemic in this country. Nut allergies amongst children
Speaker 1: is an epidemic of really crazy proportions. If you look
Speaker 1: before say nineteen ninety or nineteen ninety eight, we didn't
Speaker 1: have this problem, did we.
Speaker 9: No, we didn't. And the reason why it was because
Speaker 9: the American Pediatric Association decided, in its infinite wisdom, without
Speaker 9: doing any studies, without doing any any research, whatsoever. They
Speaker 9: decided to tell expecting mothers and and mothers of newborns
Speaker 9: to abstain from anything that had peanuts in it, like
Speaker 9: peanut butter even you know, like.
Speaker 1: Colmond butter and all that kind of stuff, peanuts, tree nuts,
Speaker 1: any kind of nuts. Yeah, because they thought that the exposure,
Speaker 1: for some reason, they thought the exposure to these to
Speaker 1: a very young child or a baby would cause them
Speaker 1: to have sensitivities later on, and exactly the opposite happened.
Speaker 1: I know. I mean, just common sense tells me that
Speaker 1: we were we were. We were allowed to eat dirt
Speaker 1: when I was a kid. I mean mom, Mom didn't
Speaker 1: like the dirt. Yeah, all sorts of stuff we were exposed. Hell,
Speaker 1: we had lead paint in the house that I used
Speaker 1: to live in as a kid, and I turned out
Speaker 1: just fine. Ask anybody who knows me.
Speaker 9: Okay, well, that's a point that we can debate. But
Speaker 9: the thing, the absolute thing is is that there are
Speaker 9: still pediatricians out there, still propagating this insanity. And so
Speaker 9: I just want people to understand because I had heard
Speaker 9: from the reason why I wrote this was because I
Speaker 9: had to tell a pediatrician that that that was no
Speaker 9: longer true, and that there was something called the Leap
Speaker 9: Study in twenty fifteen that defunked the whole you know,
Speaker 9: peanut and two nut allergies.
Speaker 1: So the APA came out with this in nineteen ninety eight,
Speaker 1: and since then we've seen an explosion of peanut and
Speaker 1: other nut allergies amongst children, right, and they've actually killed
Speaker 1: kids with this. I'm sorry if that's too hyperbolic for
Speaker 1: anybody to handle, but the American Pediatrics Association has actually
Speaker 1: been responsible for the deaths and severe illness of kids
Speaker 1: from nut allergies by making these recommendations that actually created
Speaker 1: more nut allergies.
Speaker 9: Well, and then panic and then panic and then in
Speaker 9: schools and people can't, you know, kids are afraid to
Speaker 9: be exposed. And now school swats of schools and buildings
Speaker 9: and all these all these places now because of these
Speaker 9: of these peanut allergies that they caused. Now we people can't.
Speaker 1: But we used to, we used to get we used
Speaker 1: to get peanuts on airplanes. They don't serve peanuts and
Speaker 1: airplanes anymore because the dust is.
Speaker 9: Like why yes, the reason why exactly, yeah, it's absolute insanity.
Speaker 9: And then we and then and then you know, like
Speaker 9: these kids for a generations. And but there's still people
Speaker 9: after two thousand and fifteen, sixteen and seventeen, there's still
Speaker 9: doctors recommending this to know.
Speaker 1: Here's here's our message. Here's our message. Here's our message
Speaker 1: to new to new parents. It's your first child. Okay, uh,
Speaker 1: get them some some Jiffy as soon as possible, as.
Speaker 9: Soon as you can get it.
Speaker 1: They put it, put it, put it, put it on
Speaker 1: their pacifier, you know, Smear a little peanut butter on
Speaker 1: the pacifier for the kids so they don't have nut
Speaker 1: allergies later. Good stuff.
Speaker 9: There's gonna be people out there that think that we're nuts,
Speaker 9: that we're in but well, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, Rocco the study, we can be right and be
Speaker 1: nuts at the same time. Both things can be true,
Speaker 1: absolutely all right.
Speaker 27: Go to Roco rococostelano dot com to read more about nuts.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Roco, Thanks Cher. Yes, time now for the
Speaker 1: Tom Davis Diaries. Like to refer to this as the diary.
Speaker 1: And yes, the Madman Reporter has all kinds of wild,
Speaker 1: wacky stories from around the world and around the country.
Speaker 1: And here he is now Tom.
Speaker 10: Good morning, Gary, Jeff.
Speaker 24: This week quick call the cops the cat is stealing
Speaker 24: the pizza.
Speaker 1: But first a bit of a local story.
Speaker 24: John Bent of Walton making headlines for driving nine hours
Speaker 24: to eat a taco. You see, there's a specially food
Speaker 24: truck in Virginia that will make you a walking taco
Speaker 24: with your choice of chips. You bring your own bag
Speaker 24: and they'll pour taco meat into it. That's a walking taco.
Speaker 24: And of course John our Kentucky hero brought grippos.
Speaker 1: He made a video about it.
Speaker 24: Seventeen million people have seen the video so far. Meanwhile,
Speaker 24: in Connecticut, a twenty eight year old man recently arrested
Speaker 24: for reckless driving. Logan Marmasafari told cops he was rushing
Speaker 24: home in his Kia to see his cat. He was
Speaker 24: pulled over doing one hundred and thirty miles an hour.
Speaker 24: He failed a field sobriety test and went to jail.
Speaker 24: Also in Rhode Island, a school recently called the police
Speaker 24: in animal control because of a cat that stole a
Speaker 24: piece of pizza. A school resource officer says the stray
Speaker 24: cat was hanging around the school when it walked up
Speaker 24: to a student and stole their piece. The animal control
Speaker 24: officer tried to catch the cat with a can of food.
Speaker 24: The cat was finally caught with a trap and taken
Speaker 24: to a shelter for care. Luckily, soft blue blood kids
Speaker 24: can now eat their pizza.
Speaker 1: And piece and finally.
Speaker 24: Rhiannon Evans, a woman living in London, recently arrested for farting.
Speaker 24: The twenty five year old was sending videos of herself
Speaker 24: touting to her boyfriend's ex lover. The victim told the
Speaker 24: court that she felt unsafe in her home due to
Speaker 24: the harassment and raunchy sounds. Evans must attend rehabilitation sessions
Speaker 24: and pay compensation to her victim.
Speaker 1: Next week. When does freedom returned to Australia?
Speaker 24: An Australian town recently banning showers lasting longer than five minutes,
Speaker 24: have a.
Speaker 17: Great Weekers top out in the low forties, back down
Speaker 17: into the low thirties tonight before you're in the upper fifties.
Speaker 17: On your Sunday Firmer severe weather station. I'm nine First

Speaker 1: All right, very very fine, Thank you, sir. We've got
Speaker 1: another special guest this morning standing.
Speaker 27: By in the line Doomsday Day, the Mad Hatter It
Speaker 27: Guru Dave Hatter from Intrust here with us this morning
Speaker 27: once again, mister Hatter, Good morning.
Speaker 1: We're just concluding National Privacy Week. How did we do?
Speaker 9: Are not?
Speaker 16: Very good?
Speaker 9: Garrett?
Speaker 8: Yeah, as usual? You know, I think we're making some
Speaker 8: minor progress. But yeah, I appreciate the fact that you
Speaker 8: let me talk about these things. And National Privacy Week
Speaker 8: usually happens the last week in January every year. It's
Speaker 8: a good opportunity to remind people that most of our apps,
Speaker 8: most of our Internet of things devices are really just
Speaker 8: privacy and security dumpster fires. They're sucking up lots of
Speaker 8: data which teems to eventually get leaked and you know, there,
Speaker 8: you are so not good. But at least the word
Speaker 8: is getting out more and more, and I think, I
Speaker 8: think people are slowly starting to realize that this is
Speaker 8: important and they ought to think more about it and
Speaker 8: maybe take steps to try to protect what little privacy
Speaker 8: we have left.
Speaker 1: Well, we made such a fuss about TikTok, while all
Speaker 1: of these American born apps are doing the same thing
Speaker 1: that TikTok was doing for the Chinese government as far
Speaker 1: as gathering our information and data, maybe not giving it
Speaker 1: to our government necessarily, but to all kinds of companies.
Speaker 1: Google and at all, Meta all the rest of them
Speaker 1: are spying on us every time we use them.
Speaker 8: Correct, Yeah, I mean here through the bottom line garage, Jeph.
Speaker 8: And that's a valid point. And I've had this conversation
Speaker 8: with many people when I get on.
Speaker 1: My TikTok more path.
Speaker 8: You're making a valid point. All of these apps are
Speaker 8: collecting your data. Because let's get real about this. If
Speaker 8: you're using something that didn't cost you any money, it's
Speaker 8: because you're paying with your data right and the business
Speaker 8: it's called surveillance capitalism. You're paying your data, not money.
Speaker 16: You are the.
Speaker 8: Product, not the customer. I know this is going to
Speaker 8: come as a shock all your listeners, Gary Jet, But
Speaker 8: believe it or not, software engineers, network people, all the
Speaker 8: folks that build the server farms that make all these
Speaker 8: apps work.
Speaker 9: They have mortgages and they like to eat too.
Speaker 8: They got to get paid somehow. They're not doing this
Speaker 8: stuff just because they want you to be able to
Speaker 8: watch those key cab idiots, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 8: So they're collecting your data, They're using your data to
Speaker 8: advertise stuff to you. They're selling your data to other companies.
Speaker 1: That's often that's the thing. It's not just them using
Speaker 1: your data, but then they farm it out to other people.
Speaker 1: Do you have no idea where your data is going
Speaker 1: once Google or Meta collects it?
Speaker 8: You are exactly correct. All of these companies collect this data.
Speaker 8: They sell it to data brokers. There's a large network
Speaker 8: of data brokers out there who you know, aggregate it
Speaker 8: from multiple sources and then resell it and then gets
Speaker 8: leaked or sold to some you know someone who may
Speaker 8: not be as upstanding, and then the next thing you know,
Speaker 8: you're getting that data breach letter and now you know
Speaker 8: very sensitive data. Last year, National Public Data is a
Speaker 8: background check company, so they have very sensitive data. I mean,
Speaker 8: think about going to a background check. You have to
Speaker 8: tell where you've lived, where you've worked, you know who's
Speaker 8: in your family, all kinds of really sensitive stuff. And
Speaker 8: when that data gets out, it's not to mention things
Speaker 8: like super gran near location data about everywhere you've been.
Speaker 8: You know, if you look at the TikTok privacy labels,
Speaker 8: for example, there's literally nothing that does not collect off
Speaker 8: your phone. So you know, these apps are hoovering up
Speaker 8: all your data, and then to your point, it gets sold,
Speaker 8: it gets aggregated, it gets sold again. Eventually it gets
Speaker 8: out there, and now it's a potent weapon to use
Speaker 8: against you, whether it's people trying to take out credit
Speaker 8: in your name or get a loan in your name
Speaker 8: or whatever, or because they have this really sensitive information
Speaker 8: about you, they can call up and pretend to be
Speaker 8: your bank or your insurance company and they're going to
Speaker 8: have information that only they would know. So when they're
Speaker 8: impersonating some legitimate agency and telling you you've got some
Speaker 8: kind of problem or you need to do some sort
Speaker 8: of thing. It seems a lot more authentic, and I
Speaker 8: think people lose sighted at a second piece. Yet it's
Speaker 8: easy to do identity theft, but it's also easy to
Speaker 8: persuade you because only your bank would know certain things.
Speaker 1: Right, Dave, I'm sorry there, We're we're running out of
Speaker 1: time real quickly. But if people want to find out
Speaker 1: more get in touch with you, how do they do that?
Speaker 8: Uh, just find me on linked in or x and
Speaker 8: always appreciate the chance. And let's care about privacy, folks.
Speaker 8: We need to get a handle on these things to
Speaker 8: stop using all these apps, especially the stuff from China.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're going to watch you go to the potty
Speaker 1: if you're if you're not closing the door. Serious, All right,
Speaker 1: and thanks Dave. Jim Lebarba the Music Professor returns afternoons

Speaker 1: Into you at another hour of this Saturday Morning edition
Speaker 1: for Saturday, February first, twenty twenty five. Gary Jeff Walker
Speaker 1: at yours service, at your disposal, I am me, and
Speaker 1: you were you, and we are altogether cuckuckachew. Coming upon
Speaker 1: six minutes past eight o'clock, I wanted to remind everyone
Speaker 1: that if you're interested the twenty eighth anniversary party for
Speaker 1: this show, that's right, this show has its own anniversary party.
Speaker 1: I started that about nine years ago just because I
Speaker 1: knew no one else around here would recognize or care
Speaker 1: about it. I figured out through my show a party,
Speaker 1: it's our show, and a big part of our show
Speaker 1: is our next guest. In March fifteenth is the tentative
Speaker 1: date for the after the show show party. Science Mike
Speaker 1: stepping in with a science minute this morning.
Speaker 22: As a night scientists surprising Bell blinded me.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Michael is at the Eyes of Marsh Yes
Speaker 1: it is. It is at two brute. Oh, so have
Speaker 1: you ever had vegamite?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 6: But I did see Live the Timberwolf.
Speaker 16: You know.
Speaker 1: And like I said with when when Jim and I
Speaker 1: were talking about men at work and Colin Hay he
Speaker 1: is still very active touring and the acoustic tracks if
Speaker 1: you get a chance to listen to, especially songs like
Speaker 1: Minute Works, songs like Overkill. He does a fantastic acoustic
Speaker 1: version of Overkill. It's just him kind of guitar and
Speaker 1: it's it's wonderful soul of Yep. Absolutely, what do we
Speaker 1: got this morning, Michael?
Speaker 6: We got the Usually I don't talk about these because
Speaker 6: they usually they pop up in the news all the time.
Speaker 6: But this one, this asteroid that they just found two
Speaker 6: days after Christmas, is somewhat somewhat interesting that it approached.
Speaker 6: It came on December of Christmas Day. Actually it came
Speaker 6: within like it's pretty far away, it's five hundred fifteen
Speaker 6: thousand miles on Christmas Day. And they finally saw it
Speaker 6: in their telescopes two days later, and they tracked the
Speaker 6: path of this this asteroid and they named it twenty
Speaker 6: twenty four.
Speaker 18: Why are four?
Speaker 6: Now? I try to figure out how what the y
Speaker 6: R four stands for. It might have something to do
Speaker 6: with the elliptical period of twenty twenty four was it
Speaker 6: was found last year? But yeah, this asteroid is I
Speaker 6: want to make its next approach in twenty twenty eight,
Speaker 6: because they had a four year orbital period around the
Speaker 6: Sun and actually it crosses Art.
Speaker 1: Well maybe that's where maybe that's why they got the
Speaker 1: y R four your yeah, likely yes, Okay, So anyway,
Speaker 1: so twenty twenty eight will be the next time it
Speaker 1: passes through.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then they're going to have a better ability
Speaker 6: to study this this asteroid because right now they put
Speaker 6: it at almost a three percent chance of striking Earth. Now, anybody,
Speaker 6: you know, you might think that's a low probability, but
Speaker 6: it's all relative. Right, So you say, hey, I'm gonna
Speaker 6: let you drive out, take a drive today. You're gonna
Speaker 6: have a three percent chance of getting in the series accident.
Speaker 6: Probably are going to stay home.
Speaker 1: Right, How big is how big is this asteroid?
Speaker 6: It's about three hundred and thirty feet in diameter, and
Speaker 6: they think it's They estimate its path is going to
Speaker 6: come across South America toward Africa in near twenty thirty two,
Speaker 6: and that's when they estimate it is going to come
Speaker 6: within almost forty three thousand miles of birth, which is
Speaker 6: pretty dark close. So come twenty twenty eight, when they
Speaker 6: have a better more telescopes trained on this thing, they
Speaker 6: have a better idea of it's true oral path and
Speaker 6: how it crosses ours. Is it's somewhat interesting because I
Speaker 6: don't know, I just I just think it's three percent chances.
Speaker 9: It's a pretty good.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well what are what are the probabilities of
Speaker 1: other asteroids that we have measured and tracked of hitting
Speaker 1: the air? Not this high, I know, really is pretty
Speaker 1: high percentage of possibility. And yeah, forty one thousand miles
Speaker 1: ain't nothing in space, man.
Speaker 6: And the same thing is, you know, it's just about
Speaker 6: the time I'm on the retired, like get hit by
Speaker 6: an asteroid.
Speaker 1: Well you won't have to worry about social security or medicare.
Speaker 6: Well, I think it's could be taking care of anyway years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, all right, thanks Mike, take care science
Speaker 1: Mike on a Saturday morning, love our little visits and
Speaker 1: chats we can kind and let's go to brother Rick
Speaker 1: Green on a Saturday morning with the Bible verse, the
Speaker 1: word of God, a chance to do something positive for
Speaker 1: a change. How you doing, Rick.
Speaker 6: I'm going great.
Speaker 28: I'll walk up praying for you and your listeners.
Speaker 16: Me and go.
Speaker 28: I've been talking for about three hours now.
Speaker 1: We get up early. So, uh, how did the how
Speaker 1: did the flat screen workout? That you were hanging last
Speaker 1: Saturday morning.
Speaker 8: Why you don't go about aggress to God.
Speaker 9: It's still hanging today.
Speaker 1: You got a week under your belt. You must have
Speaker 1: done a good job, all right, fantastic the first won on, Gary,
Speaker 1: the very first one.
Speaker 9: And I think I've succeeded well.
Speaker 1: That they say you'll always remember your first Rick.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 28: So, today we have Colossing, Chapter three, verse nine. It said,
Speaker 28: do not lie to one another, seeing that you have
Speaker 28: put off the old self with its practices. Well that's
Speaker 28: pretty straight to the point, Andy, Gary.
Speaker 1: Yeah, truth is always. Truth is always. It can be hard,
Speaker 1: but it's always important.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's no wiggle room in that verse.
Speaker 1: No, no, sir, no, sir. I appreciated it, and and
Speaker 1: I'm not lying. I really do appreciate it.
Speaker 9: Rick. Oh, thank you girl.
Speaker 28: You all have a blessed.
Speaker 1: Day, have a blessed weekend yourself, sir. So switching gears here.
Speaker 1: Earlier this morning I was given this by my friend
Speaker 1: Ron Wilson, who was an expert not only in the garden,
Speaker 1: but an all things groundhog apparently, and we are at
Speaker 1: the top ten most accurate groundhog weather predictions in the country.
Speaker 1: By the way, Puckstowni Phil isn't even in the top ten.
Speaker 1: It's seventeenth. Fuckstownti Phil is only right about thirty five
Speaker 1: percent of the time. At number ten, Melverne mel a
Speaker 1: groundhog from New York, is right fifty five percent of
Speaker 1: the time with this prognostication about spring and winter and
Speaker 1: when it all comes down. At number nine, French Creek
Speaker 1: Freddy a groundhog from West Virginia, and yes, they preserved
Speaker 1: one roundhog to predict the weather in West Virginia. The
Speaker 1: rest are on the dinner table or canned. Ohio makes
Speaker 1: the list at number eight. Buckeye Chuck. Buckeye Chuck from
Speaker 1: Ohio is also fifty five percent accurate with its predictions
Speaker 1: for spring. At number seven, coming to you from Illinois,
Speaker 1: woodstock Willie rite sixty percent of the time. So is
Speaker 1: Jimmy the Groundhog at number six from Wisconsin. Another Illinois
Speaker 1: entry at number five, Gurdy the ground Hog. Doesn't she
Speaker 1: sound lovely? Gurdy the groundhog is right sixty five percent
Speaker 1: of the time. Concord Charlie, also from West Virginia, is
Speaker 1: at number four. This groundhog, or we assume it's a groundhog,
Speaker 1: has never been but yes, somehow they're giving him credit.
Speaker 1: Presumed groundhog is right sixty five percent of the time.
Speaker 1: Number three and I don't know how a statue can
Speaker 1: predict the weather. But at number three on the ranking
Speaker 1: of most accurate groundhogs is Lander Lil, not a groundhog actually,
Speaker 1: but a prairie dog statue in Wyoming is right seventy
Speaker 1: five percent of the time. When you want to know something,
Speaker 1: always ask a statue. At number two general Beauregard Lee,
Speaker 1: a groundhog from Jelgia, is right eighty percent of the time.
Speaker 1: And the number one groundhog, the number one most accurate
Speaker 1: groundhog in America is Staten Island Chuck from New York
Speaker 1: right eighty five percent of the time. Now, Staten Island
Speaker 1: Chuck is very accurate, but also very unpredictable, once bit
Speaker 1: the mayor of New York City. And in fact, I
Speaker 1: don't know if Staten Island Chuck is even alive anymore,
Speaker 1: because isn't that the groundhog that Deblasio dropped and killed
Speaker 1: on Groundhog Day? Why would you want to kill a
Speaker 1: groundhog that's eighty five percent accurate? That groundhog could be
Speaker 1: a chief meteorologist somewhere. My friend Mike reader from Mike's
Speaker 1: Music has a special benefit for Children's Hospital tomorrow at

Speaker 3: to his hand? A wine glass bottle cut his hand,
Speaker 3: So there was an issue that he had to get
Speaker 3: a minor surgery on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so his grip may not be the Scotty Scheffler
Speaker 1: grip that we've come to know and expect from the
Speaker 1: great one.
Speaker 3: You mentioned Connor. Liza Rice's shot the crap out of
Speaker 3: the ball out there.
Speaker 1: She really is Conda Lisa Rice, part of the amateur

Speaker 1: So I mean, I mean, did you did you get
Speaker 1: the the idea for the theme from the success of
Speaker 1: the movie the biopic that's out now a complete unknown?
Speaker 1: Is that that that was kind of the genesis of
Speaker 1: you deciding to do a Dylan tribute with this charity.
Speaker 10: Actually, this has sort of been in the works for years.
Speaker 29: I was involved with the Herzalt movie music thing downtown
Speaker 29: with a bunch of people, and one of the people
Speaker 29: that was sort of one of the partners there was
Speaker 29: Elliott Ruther.
Speaker 10: He's from Cincinnati State and he is always.
Speaker 29: Been a big Dylan fan. And you know, I kind
Speaker 29: of I know the band. I've seen him a bunch
Speaker 29: of times. I've saw him instruments and we had a
Speaker 29: sort of a jam there once and we played a
Speaker 29: bunch of Dylan songs and we're super fan of like,
Speaker 29: you know, the eighties time period stuff, and we always
Speaker 29: talked about we should have, you know, we should have
Speaker 29: some sort of benefit of some sort of day where
Speaker 29: we did do a Dylan show and that's been going
Speaker 29: up for like six years and it's never worked out.
Speaker 10: And yes, it was spurred on by the movie.
Speaker 29: And you know, we just said I had a down
Speaker 29: day and I thought, you know what, this is a good.
Speaker 10: Time to throw together a benefit.
Speaker 29: So I actually just got on Facebook and I said
Speaker 29: if I had a benefit on this day, what artists
Speaker 29: would want to play? And I just got flooded. You know,
Speaker 29: I only told you about four or five. There's thirty
Speaker 29: of them.
Speaker 1: So oh man, that sounds it sounds like a wonderful time.

Speaker 10: You should come out.
Speaker 29: You know we'd love to have you announce a little bit.

Speaker 30: It may be an ambassador in England. You may like
Speaker 30: to give up. You might like to dance. You may
Speaker 30: be the heavyweight champion of the world. It may be
Speaker 30: a socialite with a long string of pulse. But you're
Speaker 30: gonna have to serve somebody. Yes, you're gonna have to
Speaker 30: serve some money. Well, it may be the devil it
Speaker 30: maybe the larboard. You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Speaker 15: Amen, Maybe a rock and Google aggic pens and on
Speaker 15: the Steve Money, a person in command, women, Honey in
Speaker 15: the Kids.
Speaker 1: Seven LW Gary Jim Saturday Morning Edition. Time to talk
Speaker 1: little sports a little bit more extensively than we have
Speaker 1: the rest of the morning. And to help us do
Speaker 1: that and to fill this lovely segment with incredible content,
Speaker 1: the one and only Moger Hey mo doing fine. First,
Speaker 1: let's set the record straight, just for clarity and for transparency,
Speaker 1: because I'm all about clarity and transparency. It's a new
Speaker 1: age in twenty twenty five. I was wrong on one prediction,
Speaker 1: right on another. And I was right on a big,
Speaker 1: big prediction that I made last Saturday Morning. Let's start
Speaker 1: with the one I was wrong. I was wrong about
Speaker 1: the Commanders surprising the Philadelphia Eagles shocking the world because
Speaker 1: they got they got shocked back to the back to
Speaker 1: our nation's capital where they'll be sitting watching the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl next week or some probably they're professional football players.
Speaker 1: They'll be sitting on a much more wonderful, temperate climb
Speaker 1: than Washington d C. Perhaps watching the Super Bowl. I
Speaker 1: was right about my Kansas City Chiefs beating the Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bills once again. It's become a habit for them. And
Speaker 1: more importantly, mo I was correct that there was more
Speaker 1: memorial gym magic in my Vanderbilt Commodores as they shot
Speaker 1: the Kentucky Wildcats. So let's talk about each of Let's
Speaker 1: talk about each of those events where I went wrong,
Speaker 1: where I was right, because I'm tired of talking about me.
Speaker 1: I want to know what you think of me.
Speaker 16: Well, I think very highly of you, and you nailed
Speaker 16: it when it comes to Vanderbilt, which I don't know
Speaker 16: with a shock.
Speaker 9: That's a good team.
Speaker 16: You know, that's a good team that had beaten Tennessee.
Speaker 16: We talked about how tough a plays to play it is.
Speaker 16: You know, there was a time, I think midway through
Speaker 16: the second half of that game where it kind of
Speaker 16: felt like Kentucky was about to grab control of the
Speaker 16: game and that didn't happen. The Wildcats, as good as
Speaker 16: they are offensively, it's something you and I have talked about.
Speaker 16: I'm not sure their entirely trustworth on defense, and Vanderbilt
Speaker 16: exposed that. So great win for the Commodores. You were
Speaker 16: right about that. Look, man, a lot of fans and
Speaker 16: in Cincinnati don't want to hear it, but the Kansas
Speaker 16: City Chiefs are remarkable in a year where they played
Speaker 16: unevenly on offense most of the season. Patrick Mahomes was
Speaker 16: as efficient as he's been all season long in the
Speaker 16: game against Buffalo. And they have still found a way
Speaker 16: to get back to where we have just become accustomed
Speaker 16: to them being. You know, for all the talk of
Speaker 16: parody in the NFL, it's remarkable five of the last
Speaker 16: five of the last six Super Bowls have featured the
Speaker 16: Kansas City Chiefs. I was wrong about the Washington and
Speaker 16: you know, Philadelphia's offense is really something to behold with
Speaker 16: Sakwan Barkley here, right, And I think the interesting thing
Speaker 16: about both games was, you know, you saw teams, even
Speaker 16: with Washington and Buffalo who lost, you saw teams that
Speaker 16: use their quarterback on the ground. Philadelphia uses that. Jayden
Speaker 16: dan Niels had a remarkable season for the Commanders. Washington
Speaker 16: has a very bright future, but the Eagles are kind
Speaker 16: of a fun success story too, because even though they
Speaker 16: were in the Super Bowl two years ago, you know,
Speaker 16: they had such a monumental collapse last year. A lot
Speaker 16: of folks wondered if it's time for Nick Sirianni the
Speaker 16: head coach, to be blown out, and instead he's back
Speaker 16: getting another crack at Patrick Mahomes and company.
Speaker 9: Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: First play from the line of scrimmage, Sequon Barkley is gone.
Speaker 16: Yeah, and you know you could you could feel because
Speaker 16: Washington got the ball first and had this eighteen play
Speaker 16: drive that seemingly took forever and it didn't end in
Speaker 16: a touchdown. But you thought, like, all right, you know,
Speaker 16: they scored, they got points on the road. If they
Speaker 16: could get a stop and get the ball back, you know, heck,
Speaker 16: they're gonna have possession for most of the first half.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 1: The whole key was keeping Philadelphia's offense on the sideline.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and they did that, right, they did that, And then.
Speaker 16: When Philadelphia finally got on the field, they scored on
Speaker 16: the first play. Sakewon. Barkley is remarkable, a remarkable player,
Speaker 16: and there's a reason why he's an MVP finalist.
Speaker 1: You know what I love when people hate on my chiefs,
Speaker 1: and they have been all season. And I heard it
Speaker 1: again this week after the victory over Buffalo. It's the referees,
Speaker 1: it's not your Chiefs, and YadA, YadA, YadA. I'm just
Speaker 1: so tight. I want to know what gets the taste
Speaker 1: of the sour grapes out of their mouths, because seemingly
Speaker 1: nothing has to this.
Speaker 16: I love the people who will allege that the games
Speaker 16: are fixed but will still watch the games. Right, if
Speaker 16: you genuinely believed the games were fixed, you would not watch.
Speaker 16: And yet I think last Sunday's AFC Championship game was
Speaker 16: the most watched ever I will acknowledge. I mean, look,
Speaker 16: there was the fourth and inches stop that Kansas City got.
Speaker 16: I felt like that that have gone either way. But
Speaker 16: you know, you see you see situations like that in
Speaker 16: every single game, and you know there should be better
Speaker 16: and maybe more technologically advanced ways of determining whether a
Speaker 16: ball crosses the line to gain. But I think the
Speaker 16: NFL has an officiating problem as a whole, because I
Speaker 16: think we talked about it way too much. You know,
Speaker 16: I think this is something you and I focused on
Speaker 16: after the Bengals lost to Baltimore in Baltimore, where you know,
Speaker 16: the Bengals are going for a two point conversion that
Speaker 16: wins the game essentially, or at least gives them a
Speaker 16: one point lead with roughly thirty seconds to go. And
Speaker 16: it's a great game, back and forth game, and yet
Speaker 16: all anybody could talk about after the game is an
Speaker 16: understandably so Joe Burrow having his face mask pulled while
Speaker 16: he's trying to throw a pass that would have possibly
Speaker 16: won the game. And I feel like there are too
Speaker 16: many instances where instead of the strategies or the mechanics
Speaker 16: of a great game, we're talking about the officiating. And
Speaker 16: look that the reality is the Chiefs playing more high
Speaker 16: profile games than anybody else. They play on more nationally
Speaker 16: televised games than anybody else, so everything they do comes
Speaker 16: with increased scrutiny, and they play in a lot of
Speaker 16: close games. We're an officiating call here, were there? And
Speaker 16: have they gotten the benefited out when it comes to
Speaker 16: some of them? Maybe maybe not to benefit it out,
Speaker 16: but have they gotten the call go their way in
Speaker 16: a lot of those games?
Speaker 9: Sure?
Speaker 16: But do I think that Roger Goodell and the officials
Speaker 16: are meeting before the game to ensure that the Chiefs
Speaker 16: get the outcome they look for.
Speaker 1: No thank you, some some semblance of sanity from their
Speaker 1: world of sports. So here's the thing about this weekend,
Speaker 1: of course, Pro Bowl weekend. And you and I have
Speaker 1: talked about this before. You know, now it's not even
Speaker 1: alleged to be a game. It's flag football. But the
Speaker 1: whole weekend for Cincinnati Bengals fans has been focused on
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's very vocal support of teammates Jamar Chase t
Speaker 1: Higgins and Trey Hendrickson. We're getting these And Joe in
Speaker 1: the past has not been that outwardly vocal, but with
Speaker 1: the spotlight on him there in Florida this weekend, he
Speaker 1: has been. He's been talking a bunch.
Speaker 16: Yeah, look he's made he's made. No, No, he's not
Speaker 16: shout of reluctance to express how he feels about specifically
Speaker 16: t Higgins. Right, So obviously he is a free agent
Speaker 16: now and Joe wants him back, and I understand why.
Speaker 16: And I want t Higgins back because I think, you know,
Speaker 16: we could talk about the sort of player he is,
Speaker 16: and we could talk about, you know, is he a
Speaker 16: true number one wide receiver in an offense that has
Speaker 16: Jamar Chase. I think T Higgins deserves a lot of
Speaker 16: credit for how he has handled himself over the last
Speaker 16: year relative to other people who do the same thing.
Speaker 16: You know, this was a guy who you know, players
Speaker 16: get the franchise tag and they don't want it, they
Speaker 16: don't want to sign it, they don't come to training camp.
Speaker 16: They sign it the very last minute. T Higgins signed
Speaker 16: his in June, and when asked about well the difficulty
Speaker 16: of playing under the franchise tag, he goes, dude, I'm
Speaker 16: making twenty two million bucks, like I'm good, I'm fine,
Speaker 16: and then showed up, played, hard, played hurt. I think
Speaker 16: has really done everything you could ask him to do,
Speaker 16: and so there's a big part of me that wants
Speaker 16: him back. But this is really no longer the Bengals decision.
Speaker 16: This is T higgins decision. He is a chief free
Speaker 16: agency and the team's either inability or reluctance to sign T.
Speaker 16: Higgins's long term, which I think, frankly is based on
Speaker 16: some pretty fair factors, like the fact that he has
Speaker 16: had some durability issues, has led us to a point
Speaker 16: where now he can choose where he wants to work.
Speaker 16: And I believe that there is going to be a
Speaker 16: team that offers him the sort of contract that the
Speaker 16: Bengals are just not frankly willing to offer him, given
Speaker 16: the fact that they screwed up the Jamar Chase thing.
Speaker 16: And that's part of the equation as well. You know,
Speaker 16: last summer, Chase went to the Bengals and said, I
Speaker 16: want a contract extension. They didn't get it done when
Speaker 16: the season starts. The Bengals refused to negotiate during the season,
Speaker 16: and then what happened. Jamar Chase went out there and
Speaker 16: had the greatest season that any Bengals wide receiver has
Speaker 16: ever had, led the league in all three major categories.
Speaker 16: And it's funny. I read a Q and A with
Speaker 16: Duke Tobin in The Inquirer this week where he talked about, well,
Speaker 16: we have a framework for a Jamar Chase deal, and
Speaker 16: if I'm Jamar Chase, I go, uh oh, that framework
Speaker 16: doesn't exist anymore because we didn't get the deal done
Speaker 16: and I went out there and had the greatest season
Speaker 16: of my career, so now I'm asking for even more money.
Speaker 16: It just gets us to a point where it feels
Speaker 16: like it's unlikely that t comes back. And then there's
Speaker 16: the Trey Hendrickson equation, where Trey is under contract for
Speaker 16: two thousand and twenty five, but I'm sure is going
Speaker 16: to be asking for an extension and a pay raise
Speaker 16: as well. But the Bengals, and usually understandably so, typically
Speaker 16: don't want to extend players past their age thirty or
Speaker 16: thirty one season. Trey will be thirty one by the
Speaker 16: end of this year, and so there's a lot of
Speaker 16: really interesting balls that are being juggled right now by
Speaker 16: the front office. And look, a guy like Joe Burrow
Speaker 16: is gonna want teammates like that to come back. He
Speaker 16: has been vocal about it. I can understand why. I
Speaker 16: think from his perspective, I don't know that he is
Speaker 16: going to lose his mind that the Bengals don't bring
Speaker 16: T Higgins back.
Speaker 9: I think he is going to.
Speaker 16: Lose his mind that the Bengals failed to replace T Higgins.
Speaker 16: And I think that's the central issue with this organization.
Speaker 16: They've let some players leave, and at times understandably so
Speaker 16: and at times not understandably so. But whether it's Andrew
Speaker 16: Whitworth nearly a decade ago, or Jesse Bates or any
Speaker 16: number of players who have left from the Super Bowl
Speaker 16: run DJ Reader. They've let players go, they haven't found
Speaker 16: ways to replace them. You're going to lose players, you know,
Speaker 16: it's a salary cap league. Guys are gonna Guys are
Speaker 16: gonna go to other teams. They're gonna go seek more money.
Speaker 16: You're going to decide, you know, what their best years
Speaker 16: are behind him. All that's okay, But in very few
Speaker 16: instances have they found ways to replace the players who
Speaker 16: have left. And I think that's the central issue as
Speaker 16: it relates to Joe Burrow stating his desire for t Higgins.
Speaker 16: He's watched what they have done and letting players get away,
Speaker 16: and he has seen that their plans to replace them
Speaker 16: haven't worked. And so I think what the key issue
Speaker 16: is is does Tea leave and if he does, what's
Speaker 16: the plan to replace him. If it works, I think
Speaker 16: Joe Burrow is going to be pretty happy if it
Speaker 16: doesn't look out.
Speaker 1: So any handicapping on MVP, who wins MVP in the NFL.
Speaker 16: I think it's either going to be Lamar Jackson or
Speaker 16: Josh Allen, And frankly, you are splitting hairs. I would
Speaker 16: give it to Lamar. And it's a regular season award,
Speaker 16: So you know, if you're rolling your eyes going away
Speaker 16: a minute, Lamar had a bunch of turnovers against Buffalo.
Speaker 16: It's a regular season award. I think Joe Burrow wins it.
Speaker 16: It's his team's in the postseason. I think he was
Speaker 16: the best quarterback in the league this year. But you know,
Speaker 16: the reality is, we haven't had an MVP who didn't
Speaker 16: make the postseason since OJ Simpson in nineteen seventy three.
Speaker 16: So the mere fact that Joe is a finalist is
Speaker 16: actually pretty noteworthy. My guess is it's Lamar, which will
Speaker 16: be his third. But I do think, you know, used
Speaker 16: to have this in the NBA all the time, where
Speaker 16: voters would have fatigue and they would give the MVP
Speaker 16: to a Carl Malone even though you know Michael Jordan
Speaker 16: was the best player in the league, just because well,
Speaker 16: Jordan's already got a couple and so I wonder if
Speaker 16: that dynamic is in play. But I think it's going
Speaker 16: to be Lamar or Josh Allen, and I'm, you know,
Speaker 16: frankly okay with either. But if you're Joe Burrow, you
Speaker 16: have to be going. You know what, I could be
Speaker 16: League MVP if my defense and if my team was
Speaker 16: just a little bit better, the organization and the team
Speaker 16: failed Joe Burrow in that regard.
Speaker 1: Real quickly, mo. It's the week of the Pebble Beach
Speaker 1: Golf Tournament, the PGA Golf Tournament at Pebble Beach. It's
Speaker 1: one of the first major events of the year. And
Speaker 1: Scheffler's you know, he's still in the mix, even though
Speaker 1: he's seven back. But the thing that has surprised me
Speaker 1: because I did not know what a consummate golfer Condoleeza
Speaker 1: Rice was. She hit some shots. I think that you'd
Speaker 1: be happy to hit.
Speaker 16: Funny.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that either.
Speaker 16: And I saw I saw some shots on social media
Speaker 16: last night, and I knew Conda Leeza Rice is a
Speaker 16: huge sports fan, huge football.
Speaker 9: I didn't know she could swing the stacks.
Speaker 16: Good for her, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Been very impressed. All right, Well, hopefully the weather will
Speaker 1: get warm faster. The groundhog says, winner's over and you
Speaker 1: can get back out on the course yourself.
Speaker 16: Noll.
Speaker 1: Wegar have a fantastic weekend. Thank you so much, Mike
Speaker 1: Allen counselor how are you, bo?
Speaker 12: I'm good, and you know what, not a week goes
Speaker 12: by that, I don't learn something from you. I had
Speaker 12: no idea Condi Rice was a big time golfer.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, she's she's one of the amateurs playing
Speaker 1: around that Pebble Beach pro agm deal. But she she
Speaker 1: hit a shot. I saw a shot yesterday and she's
Speaker 1: chipping onto the green and just within like three feet
Speaker 1: of the cup. She's right there, and she hit some more.
Speaker 1: As Moe mentioned, you know, there's stuff on social media
Speaker 1: of showing some some golf shots by Condy Rice, and
Speaker 1: it's like, don't you think she'd be a great commissioner
Speaker 1: of the NFL?
Speaker 12: I do too, and I know that's what she wants.
Speaker 1: George W.
Speaker 12: Bush wanted to be a Major League Baseball commissioner. That
Speaker 12: didn't happen, But yeah, I do. I mean, and there's
Speaker 12: been talk about that with her. Maybe if there's an
Speaker 12: opening at some point.
Speaker 1: Man, I'm sure she knows some security intel people should
Speaker 1: kill kill Roger Goodell and open up the spot. I
Speaker 1: always I'm not suggesting that should happen. Mind you, what's
Speaker 1: on the show today, Mike, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 12: Nothing much happened this week, Gary, Jeff, I'm not real sure.
Speaker 12: Just Of course Trump two point zero is kicking in
Speaker 12: big time, kicking butt, as is immigration in four. I
Speaker 12: love it. You know, the chucky schumers of the world
Speaker 12: are whining and whaling about it. That just makes it
Speaker 12: only better.
Speaker 1: Though.
Speaker 12: Also the funding free'es on grants and other things that
Speaker 12: Trump put in earlier in the week, that's getting the
Speaker 12: whiners and criers.
Speaker 1: Wasn't that blocked by a judge? It was? It was,
Speaker 1: And you know it's interesting. I'm a lawyer. I'm supposed
Speaker 1: to know this.
Speaker 12: How one federal judge can block the whole thing for
Speaker 12: the whole country. That doesn't make sense to me, but
Speaker 12: I guess he's got the authority to do it. Also, Gary, Jeff,
Speaker 12: we're going to talk about the DNC electing a new
Speaker 12: chair today that takes place. Oh really, they had a
Speaker 12: forum this week that tells me they haven't learned a thing.
