Speaker 3: a snowman with a vampire?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 3: Frostbite? Frost bite bite, yes, you do. What's the difference.
Speaker 3: What's the difference between snowmen and snow ladies?
Speaker 16: Well?

Speaker 17: I ain't gonna say snowballs.
Speaker 3: Yes, what happens? What happens when missus Claus wears yoga pants?
Speaker 3: You get misletoe?
Speaker 16: All right?
Speaker 14: So yeah, the first uh, the first Christmas?
Speaker 17: Okay, the wise men come riding up on our camels
Speaker 17: and they go to the mangers scene where they see the.
Speaker 16: Glow happening, and they dismount and they walked up and
Speaker 16: they say, we've been traveling so far following this star.
Speaker 17: Is this where the christ child lays? And there's a silence,
Speaker 17: and then one brave young sheep from the back says nah, nah,
Speaker 17: And one of the goats says, that's bad.
Speaker 16: That's been bad. Of course it did.
Speaker 3: Okay. What's the punchline?

Speaker 3: Merry Christmas tee ay Man. Same to you, Hey Dave,
Speaker 3: you got one more Well.
Speaker 16: Why what does the gingerbread man use to make his bed?
Speaker 3: What does the gingerbread man use to make his bed?
Speaker 3: Tell me cookie jokes?
Speaker 18: Told by Day from Harrison are not necessarily considered funny
Speaker 18: by the staff, management, or advertisers of seven hundred WLW
Speaker 18: or his parent company, iHeartMedia. If these attempts at humor
Speaker 18: have caused you to roll your eyes, made your stomach churn,
Speaker 18: or you have considered the entire exercise to be a
Speaker 18: colossal waste of time, we deeply apologize. Now back to
Speaker 18: our irregular programming, time for a.
Speaker 3: Visit with old radio Rick. Good morning, Rick, Good morning, Ricky?
Speaker 14: Are you there?
Speaker 13: Good morning?
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I'm sorry you couldn't hear.
Speaker 1: I was drowned out by the pretenders, which sounds like
Speaker 1: a wonderful way to go.
Speaker 16: Yes, indeed it is.
Speaker 13: Hey, Merry birthday and happy Christmas.
Speaker 3: Sir, Thank you, sir, God bless you, and merry Christmas
Speaker 3: to you. So how are you receiving this this morning?
Speaker 3: On what we've got?
Speaker 1: Just a scan few minutes because the commercial gods, little
Speaker 1: g have decided that we only have till twenty one.
Speaker 13: After then I'm going to fly through this. This is
Speaker 13: a nineteen thirty seven silver tone tabletop three band eight
Speaker 13: two radio. It's battery powered. It has an RF stage
Speaker 13: and two IF stages which means it is one heck
Speaker 13: of a hot DXer. And so let's jump to the catalog,
Speaker 13: shall we. Sure sensational new economy silver tones now save
Speaker 13: you twenty to thirty percent. Not inaccurate, but they're not
Speaker 13: talking about money, they're talking about battery saving. These are
Speaker 13: low power tubes, which are awesome, and they scare the
Speaker 13: crap out of me every time because they only take
Speaker 13: about a half secund warm up, Like, why is it already? Okay,
Speaker 13: So according to the catalog, way up in Alaska, silver
Speaker 13: tones satisfy all. And then it says there are ten
Speaker 13: silver tones in this very small vicinity. Vicinity so history
Speaker 13: note nineteen thirty seven, the population of Alaska was apparently ten.
Speaker 13: Continuing on a thousand miles from Seattle. Everyone is satisfactory, Wow,
Speaker 13: strong praise indeed. And then we jumped down to the
Speaker 13: six inch band spread flash o light dial lights only
Speaker 13: when tuning automatically. Well, okay, that's a lie, because yes
Speaker 13: it's brilliant. If you're gonna have to put dialites in
Speaker 13: a battery radio, you don't want them on all the
Speaker 13: time because it'll drain your batteries. But the automatically thing is, yes,
Speaker 13: your left hand will automatically push down the volume knob
Speaker 13: to turn on the light.
Speaker 16: You get used to doing it.
Speaker 13: Whoopsie, And we'll close out by saying, oh gosh, where
Speaker 13: is it? All the fine features are showing at the
Speaker 13: list of this model. It is the thrill of a
Speaker 13: lifetime for your family. Okay, Well for eight hundred dollars,
Speaker 13: that's that's a pretty good deal.
Speaker 3: Better than a.
Speaker 1: Ride, better than a ride in the family truckster with
Speaker 1: the Griswolds. Uh so, Liam uh While we have Old
Speaker 1: Radio Rick on the line in just a minute or so,
Speaker 1: would you like to say anything to Old Radio Rick
Speaker 1: about his wonderful work on that beautiful radio that he
Speaker 1: repaired for you.

Speaker 21: hundred WLW, the home of the best Bengals coverage. Got
Speaker 21: a few wants to spend with Bengals head coach Zac
Speaker 21: Taylor joins me and a big story from last week
Speaker 21: their coach, of course, was your back and forth with
Speaker 21: Joe Burrow on the bench, and you made the point
Speaker 21: is you love his intensity, you love his ed, you
Speaker 21: wouldn't trade it for the world. Is there anybody else
Speaker 21: on this team who's like the opposite so that devil
Speaker 21: make care attitude till the whistle blows and they just
Speaker 21: can put it in gear when they have to.
Speaker 3: That's a good question.
Speaker 22: I think uh Or Lander Brown's that way a little
Speaker 22: bit in locking off the field and on the field,
Speaker 22: his demeanor is very different.
Speaker 21: Going back to early in the season with the losses
Speaker 21: the talking Heads on TV, he said that Zach Taylor
Speaker 21: course plans for his team to peak in December, for
Speaker 21: the run of the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Number one, was that true? And number two, if it is,
Speaker 3: is it working.
Speaker 16: Well?
Speaker 22: We need to continued win games in December, that's for sure.
Speaker 22: But we didn't put ourselves in a great position to
Speaker 22: control our own destiny. So now we just got to
Speaker 22: take a one game at a time and do what
Speaker 22: we can control. But certainly we didn't do enough early
Speaker 22: in the season to put our season in our hands.
Speaker 21: Yeah, bad news on Sam Hubbard. He had his first touchdown.
Speaker 21: He looked fine when he got up, he was celebrating.
Speaker 21: Was that just pure adrenaline or did something happen between
Speaker 21: there and the bench?
Speaker 22: No, I don't think anything happened between there and the bench.
Speaker 22: He was certainly excited the moment, and then maybe when
Speaker 22: he got over the sidelines he felt it a little
Speaker 22: bit differently.
Speaker 21: Yeah, made the point in your press conference, and I
Speaker 21: hadn't thought about that. But Mems is playing really tough.
Speaker 21: Has been up against the toughest pass rushers in the
Speaker 21: NFL this year. If you go back and look at
Speaker 21: a week after week, he's getting the job done.
Speaker 22: We filled every week. You know, we paid these guys.
Speaker 22: We've got to figure out how to protect him, and
Speaker 22: he's done an excellent job. And he did it with
Speaker 22: no training camp.
Speaker 3: You know, he got hurt.
Speaker 22: He didn't play in a single preseason game. He didn't
Speaker 22: get to go in any of the joint practices we had,
Speaker 22: so it's still very raw in a lot of ways.
Speaker 22: Didn't play a lot of college games, didn't have a
Speaker 22: training camp, and he's playing the way he is right now,
Speaker 22: so I'm really excited for his future.
Speaker 21: All Right, got Cleveland coming up, and quarterback Dorian Thompson
Speaker 21: Robinson's in there.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen much of him. How mobile is he?
Speaker 14: He's mobile?
Speaker 22: You know, he had a really good run against this
Speaker 22: last time. We staid didn't walk coming out of UCLA.
Speaker 22: He can really make plays with his legs and beat
Speaker 22: it that way. So we got to be on top
Speaker 22: of all the details. But he's a talented player.
Speaker 3: Maybe no Nick Chubb would be a break, I would think.
Speaker 22: Yeah, I'm pretty confident Nick won't play.
Speaker 3: A great player.
Speaker 22: Had a lot of good petishing against them, but doesn't
Speaker 22: look like he'll be playing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 21: All right, well, listen, best of luck in Cleveland, and
Speaker 21: have yourself a great Christmas, and we'll talk to you
Speaker 21: on the other side of that.
Speaker 22: Okay, thanks Mike.
Speaker 3: With a constantly changing landscape of technology, it's important to
Speaker 3: I'm toasting you. Sit, honey, we may be through. You'll
Speaker 3: never care me complay. Gods were the whiskey round Land,
Speaker 3: the ojay.
Speaker 1: What I got friends in all kinds of different places
Speaker 1: to be honest with, But I love these folks. The
Speaker 1: gang has gotten together at a little bar, a little establishment,
Speaker 1: a little pub, watering hole restaurant in Ripley, Ohio.
Speaker 3: Once again. How now, Brown County, It's the gang at Brookies.
Speaker 3: Good morning, get bored? Sherry? Are you feeling horny? You
Speaker 3: brought your hooter?
Speaker 23: I'm very horny today.
Speaker 13: I heard that soday.
Speaker 3: Thank you Lisa, Thank you Sherry.
Speaker 13: It's good to hear from you, guys.
Speaker 1: So what's going on at Brookies this morning? Besides the
Speaker 1: fact that it's just butt cold and it's too early
Speaker 1: for any of you to be drinking.
Speaker 13: There's ugly Christmas sweater contest tonight about eight o'clock.
Speaker 1: You know, I always wondered about the origins of the
Speaker 1: ugly Christmas sweater, because if any sweater that is celebrating
Speaker 1: the birth of a savior can't be ugly, really, can it.
Speaker 1: Nobody's talking. Here's my answer.
Speaker 24: All right, you were the judge of that contest a
Speaker 24: couple of years ago when I won, Well.
Speaker 3: Yes, but but I wasn't.
Speaker 1: I wasn't.
Speaker 3: I wasn't judging the ugliness of the sweater. I was
Speaker 3: judging what was underneath.
Speaker 16: Are you going to come down tomorrow for the special
Speaker 16: show from the Rockets?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand that there's a new addition to the
Speaker 1: weather Rock, and and there have been because I know
Speaker 1: this is a major tourist attraction in Ripley. Besides Brookies
Speaker 1: and the Rankinghouse and other famous notable landmarks. Is the
Speaker 1: weather Rock that was actually a product of I believe
Speaker 1: the old Jerry Jones first and then Sherry carried on
Speaker 1: the narrative the Green Hornet and the weather Rock is
Speaker 1: facing pretty tough times lately. It was turned over and
Speaker 1: not quite up to snuff. But it's I understand, it's
Speaker 1: all fixed and there are some new additions. Tell me
Speaker 1: about the additions, Doug.
Speaker 3: The addition is the lineup of Rockets with the weather
Speaker 3: Rock like the dance the dancers from Radio City Music Hall.
Speaker 16: In New York.
Speaker 13: Yeah, you don't have to go all the way to
Speaker 13: New York City for it.
Speaker 16: You can just pull up right in front of snappers
Speaker 16: and see, uh.
Speaker 23: Rock cats.
Speaker 16: Yeah, the perfect place to stop. And let me see.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the text you sent me, Doug and
Speaker 1: the image. Oh I see it's the weather rock and
Speaker 1: like six little pebbles underneath it. Those are the rockets.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well what is what is? What is the weather
Speaker 3: rock and the rockets? Say, Sherry, about weather this weekend?
Speaker 13: About this weekend.
Speaker 23: It's cold and it's a little bit windy too. Had
Speaker 23: a little bit of snow on us, a little bit
Speaker 23: of snow this morning. Yeah, we had a little around
Speaker 23: the edges. So yeah, the rockets were free from their
Speaker 23: rock saft.
Speaker 1: Cherry's not a Cherry's not a chief meteorologist. She's, as
Speaker 1: Gary Burbank used to say, she's a cheap media urologist.
Speaker 16: Uh.
Speaker 1: Merry, Christmas, guys, Chris, bye, gang the guy, Thank you,
Speaker 1: the Brookies gang.
Speaker 3: On a Saturday morning, Steve from Mettna coming up. Oh
Speaker 3: for Christmas only in my dreams you come plum have snow,
Speaker 3: oh on missile toe.
Speaker 7: On press all.
Speaker 3: And now folks, we turned to the soothsayers. Mercy, one
Speaker 3: of the great commentators on the news of the world
Speaker 3: and its history.
Speaker 1: And we are blessed to always have this man's contributions
Speaker 1: on Saturday mornings.
Speaker 3: Steve Simon from ETNA, Good morning, Stephen.
Speaker 24: Good morning, sir. Here's the deal on the budget process
Speaker 24: in Congress. The last time Congress really did this was
Speaker 24: nineteen ninety six. The current Continuing Resolution, which is supposed
Speaker 24: to simply keep the government going on at the same
Speaker 24: dollar figures, is the thirty fifth in recent memory by
Speaker 24: any stand. This is not how to run a railroad. Wow,
Speaker 24: it took fifteen hundred pages of script to say that.
Speaker 24: No one is going to read all of it, only
Speaker 24: that part that that member of Congress tried to push through.
Speaker 16: Where are the.
Speaker 24: Tree huggers when all those trees had to be cut
Speaker 24: down to make the paper to print this porn? Okay,
Speaker 24: I ad met all the port only took one thousand pages.
Speaker 24: The other five hundred were ads for PBS. And we
Speaker 24: still have to watch those obnoxious pledge drives or public
Speaker 24: TV tells us they will have to get more money
Speaker 24: from us in taxes. The folks in East palestineo Ohio
Speaker 24: could tell you this is not a good way to
Speaker 24: run a railroad. By the way, I did not see
Speaker 24: the victims of Norfolk Southern getting any more money this time.
Speaker 24: At least Norfolk Southern paid a lot of money for
Speaker 24: the destruction they caused in eastern Ohio. How about that
Speaker 24: Singapore ship the Dolly that wrecked the Francis Scott Key
Speaker 24: Bridge in Baltimore, oh Say? Can you see just one
Speaker 24: hundred million dollars so far from them? The CR this
Speaker 24: week coughs up the remainder of the two billion dollar
Speaker 24: price tag to build a new bridge. The Purpse therefore
Speaker 24: only paid five percent. I am in the wrong business.
Speaker 24: Can you imagine how hard it's going to be for Cincinnati,
Speaker 24: Ohio and Kentucky to get any money out of the
Speaker 24: folks who set fire to.
Speaker 13: The Big MacBridge?
Speaker 24: Excuse me? And who were the clowns who let the
Speaker 24: bums anywhere near that bridge? But there's some good stuff
Speaker 24: in the CR. Also, the California Congressional Delegation got a
Speaker 24: resolution passed which would abolish all gasoline powered drones by
Speaker 24: twenty thirty five. Never mind that there are no gas
Speaker 24: powered drones presently. I'm kidding, of course, but I fear
Speaker 24: Congress will actually do this. In January back to what
Speaker 24: is actually in the cr land was purchased for the
Speaker 24: Washington Commander's NFL franchise to build a new stadium. So
Speaker 24: now we not only have to pay to build those
Speaker 24: Tajba halls, but also to buy the land. Isn't that fascism?
Speaker 24: If I were in Congress, I would vote for this
Speaker 24: if the land is on an Indian reservation and the
Speaker 24: commanders revert to the Washington Redskins, take that, you forkedtungue
Speaker 24: white devils. Speaking of football and crooks in Washington, d C.
Speaker 24: The alleged President Joe Biden is right on top of
Speaker 24: the events he waited in this week on the Ohio
Speaker 24: State Tennessee game. Yeah, excuse me, Joe's betting all that
Speaker 24: money he and Hunter made in China and Ukraine on
Speaker 24: the Bucks saying, and I quote Woody Hayes is the
Speaker 24: best damn coach in college football, and all they have
Speaker 24: to do is run the ball right up the middle
Speaker 24: like they did against Michigan Oka. Joe also has a
Speaker 24: solution to the drone problem, which he blames on Trump. Naturally,
Speaker 24: He's arranging for the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to release
Speaker 24: Luigi VANNGEONI long enough to shoot all the drones down,
Speaker 24: Joe says, Luigi's record so far is one to zero
Speaker 24: and shooting, so it's a sure thing. Joe is apparently
Speaker 24: unaware that the Continuing Resolution has already appropriated two billion
Speaker 24: dollars for Wiley E Coyote and the AcBe Manufacturing Company
Speaker 24: to drop and bills on the drones from retired Boeing
Speaker 24: seven point thirty at the same time killing the roadrunner
Speaker 24: who infected that Louisiada farmer with the bird flu and
Speaker 24: pardon me and you news the Cherokee Nation has gotten
Speaker 24: into the Partning Act for giving Massachusetts Senator Liz Warren
Speaker 24: for claiming she is a squaw and using that racist term.
Speaker 24: The Cherokees are hoping to get the Washington Redskins franchise.
Speaker 24: This is on the heels of scher Bono partnering gypsies,
Speaker 24: tramps and thieves. More on that from the music professor
Speaker 24: next Hour, Happy Birthday Jim and Gary, Jeff, Wow, I'm
Speaker 24: glad I got that out of my sight too. And
Speaker 24: this just in the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE
Speaker 24: is reportedly already out of money and it doesn't even
Speaker 24: exist yet happy birthday, Jesus.
Speaker 13: Take care of yourself all right.
Speaker 1: Thankfully, A lot of the garbage he was talking about
Speaker 1: in the proposed omnibus spending bill, which did not pass,
Speaker 1: was snipped out. Thank you to Steve Simon, and Merry
Speaker 1: Christmas to you, sir. It's six fifty three on a
Speaker 1: Saturday morning. Great to have you with us, says Saturday,
Speaker 1: the weekend before Christmas. On seven hundred wlw into another
Speaker 1: hour of a Saturday morning Nation for Saturday, December twenty first,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, Gary Jeff Walker at yours service, about
Speaker 1: six minutes past the hour. Someone texts me during the
Speaker 1: news on the report of the quote unquote Christmas Tree
Speaker 1: bill passed in Columbus. Bengals get tax break, welfare for
Speaker 1: kings and princes. Crony crapitalism at its worst. Interesting observations,
Speaker 1: more continuing resolutions that continue to baffle.
Speaker 16: It starts.
Speaker 3: See tree and some green red roses too. I see
Speaker 3: them blue.
Speaker 14: Following you, and I think to myself.
Speaker 3: What I wonder? What a wonderful world it is.
Speaker 1: Our friend environmental engineer Steve Shulty joining us on a
Speaker 1: Saturday morning. It's too Among other things, talk about Delaware,
Speaker 1: the home of Joe Biden, rejected our solar power.
Speaker 3: Good morning, my friend, and early happy birthday to you
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 15: Yeah, next Tuesday, Christmas, Eve Baby, I hit the next
Speaker 15: decade seven zero.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, and think about you had all the
Speaker 1: things that have transpired and you're still and you're still
Speaker 1: kicking Steve.
Speaker 3: That's that's right.
Speaker 15: And happy birthday to you and the prof. I know
Speaker 15: it's tomorrow, but yep, yep, so we're gonna talk about.
Speaker 14: Uh.
Speaker 15: Something just released on Thursday. On Thursday from sea fact
Speaker 15: dot org at c f A c T dot org
Speaker 15: Conservation Nation Biden's Delaware Rejecting Solar. A new episode of
Speaker 15: Sea Fact's video series Conservation Nation was just posted.
Speaker 16: Uh.
Speaker 15: Sea Fact travels to Delaware, home to our supposed President
Speaker 15: Joe Biden, to expose how residents of the first State
Speaker 15: are not sold on solar and as we already have discussed,
Speaker 15: Gary Jeff solar power power source out there, even by
Speaker 15: our own Department of Energy, which I always like to
Speaker 15: call it Department of Lethard g Solar has the lowest
Speaker 15: capacity factor of all energy sources, only functioning just twenty
Speaker 15: five percent of the time for over a year. And
Speaker 15: so what this means is is that when you hear
Speaker 15: headlines that let's say one hundred megawats solar project is
Speaker 15: going to be installed, and it will be and it
Speaker 15: said the power twenty thousand homes, But this is based
Speaker 15: on the installed capacity. That is, that's how much power
Speaker 15: the solar project will do. At the best of times,
Speaker 15: it's only twenty five percent, so it really only powers
Speaker 15: five thousand homes, which is one of the reasons why
Speaker 15: solar is so so expensive and requires you and I
Speaker 15: and our fellow Americans to force to be subsidized these
Speaker 15: as the Boondogo projects. But despite Delaware going all in,
Speaker 15: you know it's supposed to be one of those dates
Speaker 15: to be all green, in a couple decades, only one
Speaker 15: hundred and seventy two megawatts has been installed, which is
Speaker 15: a four percent of the electrical generation. It still depends
Speaker 15: on natural gas, which supplies eighty seven percent of the
Speaker 15: state's electricity. Ouch, if you're concerned about the carbon footprint
Speaker 15: and two of the Delaware Delaware I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with your phone, but
Speaker 1: every minute or so it cuts out and I miss
Speaker 1: something important.
Speaker 3: That you're saying, so start this last sentence. Again.
Speaker 15: Delaware is so small it only has three counties. In
Speaker 15: two of these counties, locals are fighting to stop the
Speaker 15: spread of dozens of proposed solar installations. That they're concerned
Speaker 15: about solar desertification, which puts wildlife, natural beauty, and farming
Speaker 15: at risk. So what happens that basically these solar farms
Speaker 15: become like deserts is anybody knows if you put something
Speaker 15: under shade all the time? Yep, well, I means no
Speaker 15: wildlife and destroying. Actually a green.
Speaker 1: Earth, Solar and wind are two of the least green
Speaker 1: energy sources that we have available to us. And once again,
Speaker 1: Delaware's rejection of this is the It is the precursor
Speaker 1: of things to come, I predict and gladly. So, Steve,
Speaker 1: I wish you a merry Christmas, Happy Birthday. I gotta run,
Speaker 1: gotta run. It's there all right, thank you, brother. It's
Speaker 1: seven eleven at seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 3: Into another hour of the Saturday morning. It iss for
Speaker 3: this Saturday, December twenty first, twenty twenty four, Gary Jeff Walker, GJ. Dobbs.

Speaker 1: mine in jim Lebarbara's birthday. If you're celebrating a birthday
Speaker 1: tomorrow in the twenty second, I guess that was for
Speaker 1: you too.
Speaker 3: Time for a science minute, my friend's science Mike on
Speaker 3: the line.
Speaker 7: Yes, as a nightly scientist.
Speaker 18: He was surprising of the bell binding.
Speaker 14: Me with.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 14: It's hard to follow. Hey, mister Tuba, I am to
Speaker 14: your spin valves.
Speaker 3: That was good.
Speaker 14: That was good, good breeding, that was good, good technique.
Speaker 14: If other than that, I've got the saxophone out and
Speaker 14: play Happy Birthday.
Speaker 1: You know he plays tuba, he plays flugel horn, he
Speaker 1: plays several other brass instruments, so I guess you could say,
Speaker 1: even at his advanced age.
Speaker 3: He is one horny fellow. Thank god.
Speaker 13: We need a triangle player to go.
Speaker 14: Along with him.
Speaker 3: You need to try and gole what you got real quick, Mike?
Speaker 14: Okay, uh, the real quick? Hey, Roco the first kel
Speaker 14: log cornflake boxes. I think he clipped ten top box
Speaker 14: tops off and got a box of Kleenex with the
Speaker 14: purchase of those. You gotta got less of the whole shows,
Speaker 14: Gary got what's the whole show?
Speaker 16: That? Okay?
Speaker 14: Okay? In honor of doge uh, we have a study
Speaker 14: of what they call propreception, Gary Jeff. And that's the
Speaker 14: study of how the body continually setses its articulation and movement.
Speaker 14: And we want to see how the body is nervous
Speaker 14: system detects unexpected events like you know, uh jolts and
Speaker 14: falls and sometimes you have some teof strokes and understand
Speaker 14: how the body corrects for for balance and.
Speaker 3: Things like that.
Speaker 14: But what did we study. We studied the we build
Speaker 14: a special two built treadmill system, Gary Jeff, for for
Speaker 14: fruit flies, Yes, fruit flies, because fruit flies have a
Speaker 14: fully mapped nervous system, and they're able to easily go
Speaker 14: into the fruit flies nervous system on these miniature built
Speaker 14: two built treadmills, and they adjust the neurons of certain legs.
Speaker 3: On these fruit world, do you build a treadmill for
Speaker 3: a fruit fly?
Speaker 14: You have first they have a very small screw driver.
Speaker 3: And so our tax payer money went to that.
Speaker 14: Yes, yes it did. They said that, They said, a
Speaker 14: new fruitfly treadmill speed record millimeters per second.
Speaker 3: What did we learn from this, Well, we learned how.
Speaker 14: The fruit fly legs actually speed up and moved back
Speaker 14: and forth as we changed a two belt system on
Speaker 14: the on the treadmill, speed up one side slowed down.
Speaker 14: Affect the neurons of the of the fruit fly. See
Speaker 14: how it affects the legs and and things of that nature.
Speaker 3: So, okay, I guess it was money well spent.
Speaker 14: And you know, just to for note, represented de laure
Speaker 14: that they did not have any specific type of sexual
Speaker 14: sex for fruit fly. And I don't say did male
Speaker 14: or female fruit flies? But oh, okay, okay, she was interested.
Speaker 14: You know, you know she is, right, who's that Representative
Speaker 14: Delaua in Congress. She's with the kind of has the
Speaker 14: purple hair.
Speaker 3: Kind of oh one of those okay, yeah, one of those.
Speaker 25: I know.
Speaker 14: I'm just saying, I'm just just giving information.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I'm not shooting the messenger. Happy,
Speaker 1: Happy Merry Christmas to you, Michael, and for being a
Speaker 1: part of the show for so many years. I really
Speaker 1: appreciate the gifts that you give every Saturday morning.
Speaker 14: I appreciate your appreciation.
Speaker 3: All right, Thanks man. Eight eleven seven under WLWR Special
Speaker 3: Guests Neck Reunion of Souls and Let's go to Love.
Speaker 3: So let's go to our guest this morning in studio,
Speaker 3: Brother Rick Green from Sparrowork, Cincinnati, his friend Savant and
Speaker 3: his new friend Curtis, all connected with the movie about
Speaker 3: Rick Green's life that we've been talking about now for
Speaker 3: well for a long time.
Speaker 1: Rick's been this has been what he feels like is
Speaker 1: God's mission. God's calling for him to tell his story
Speaker 1: about how God totally changed his life.
Speaker 8: And Rick, it's great to have you with us this morning. Brother, Hey,
Speaker 8: thank you for having us this morning. Gary John, I
Speaker 8: love this show.
Speaker 3: I love you.
Speaker 8: I want the world to know this man was the
Speaker 8: first one to financially donate to the project, and you
Speaker 8: humble me. And I'm grateful for our friendship. I wish
Speaker 8: I could have done more. So I tell you before
Speaker 8: we get to our other guests, Savant and Curtis Bible
Speaker 8: verse please, word of God, please. Well, here we go,
Speaker 8: Matthew Chapter one, verse twenty one. She gave birth to
Speaker 8: a son, and you are to call him name a
Speaker 8: mess it. I love Gary, Matthew one, chapter twenty one.
Speaker 8: She will give birth to a son, and you will
Speaker 8: give him the name Jesus because he will save his
Speaker 8: people from their sins.
Speaker 1: Amen, God with us. All right, So let's talk about
Speaker 1: this movie. We're about about set to roll it out
Speaker 1: in next year, right, Rick.
Speaker 8: Mark six five. I cannot wait. Gary, It's been nine
Speaker 8: years in the making.
Speaker 1: I remember when when you started doing the movie and
Speaker 1: you had secured Savant as your director at.
Speaker 3: Renter and shot it did They added, we just kind
Speaker 3: of do it all. You're a one man shot man.
Speaker 3: You're You're unbelievable. You're a buzzsaw. Uh huh. So, uh
Speaker 3: tell me how do you feel about where we're at
Speaker 3: now with the movie, Savant? I feel good.
Speaker 26: I believe the message is still prominent. The it was
Speaker 26: presented well, you know, and that was that was part
Speaker 26: of my connection with Rick. It's it's to be able
Speaker 26: to present his his his story in the best way possible,
Speaker 26: and I feel good about it.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, it is his the story of
Speaker 1: his life and how God came into his life and
Speaker 1: totally changed his life from from a prison cell.
Speaker 3: To you know, waiting for Glory and and Curtis is here. Curtis,
Speaker 3: you play Rick in the movie? Right? That's I do?
Speaker 3: All right? So how did you come to this? You
Speaker 3: just answered a Facebook ad or what? What was the deal?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So what happened?
Speaker 25: Was it like it had been a while since I
Speaker 25: last had an acting role. It was maybe three months.
Speaker 25: So I was looking on Facebook hopefully wondering that if
Speaker 25: I could secure a role by anyway, it might have
Speaker 25: been Facebook. And so I saw Savants ad where they
Speaker 25: were looking for a African American between eighteen and eighteen
Speaker 25: and forty five to play the role of Rick, and
Speaker 25: I was like this, I fit the description right exactly.
Speaker 25: So I saw I hit him up and then he
Speaker 25: and then he said that I got the role. And
Speaker 25: then that's when I found out that it was the
Speaker 25: lead role. Because I didn't know which role it was
Speaker 25: at first. I just know that it was a role.
Speaker 25: And you know, since I'm an up and coming actor,
Speaker 25: I can't really be greedy.
Speaker 3: Are you from Cincinnati area? Yes?
Speaker 25: I am born and raised where about downtown Cincinnati? Downtown, yes, sir.
Speaker 14: So.
Speaker 3: Uh, do you feel like playing this role has changed you?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 25: Not necessarily so, because like when I step into a
Speaker 25: character that's exactly who I am, and when the camera's
Speaker 25: cut off, I'm back to being myself.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I get that, But I would think that
Speaker 1: this is such an inspiring story. I know the story.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's definitely an amazing story.
Speaker 14: Uh.
Speaker 1: And and people, I can't imagine it not having some
Speaker 1: effect on you personally. And and maybe that time will come,
Speaker 1: maybe that that that's something that because you know, it's
Speaker 1: not in our time, it's it's on God's time, absolutely,
Speaker 1: you know, Rick any anything to add to all of this,
Speaker 1: And and the anticipation and obviously must be killing you
Speaker 1: to wait until March to see this so by the time,
Speaker 1: by the time the four seventy one bridges opened up,
Speaker 1: the movie will be out.
Speaker 8: You know, Gary, I'm just hoping that people walk away
Speaker 8: from this movie understanding that God loves us right where
Speaker 8: we are. Stop putting off tomorrow what needs to be
Speaker 8: done today. And my story is no different than anybody else.
Speaker 8: That it just come down to choices, and I didn't
Speaker 8: want to be him anymore. I mean daddic and the
Speaker 8: alcoholic and the negative person that was bringing nothing positive
Speaker 8: to earth.
Speaker 3: I don't want to die him.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And we all have to make our own choices,
Speaker 8: but it'd be nice if we made choices that would
Speaker 8: bless ourselves and bless others.
Speaker 3: Right, That's what I'm hoping people walk away with.
Speaker 1: Well, gentlemen, it's a pleasure to meet you all, and
Speaker 1: I know you, and I know you, but pleasure to
Speaker 1: meet you, Curtis, and I wish you nothing but success
Speaker 1: in your furtherance of your career. I look forward to
Speaker 1: seeing you in the movie because you got some big
Speaker 1: shoes to fill playing Rick Green. Anything else they add, guys.
Speaker 26: Real quickly, I would like to add, I know Rick
Speaker 26: di had mentioned that's Mark six for the first show,
Speaker 26: and that'd be six pm and seventh thirty at the
Speaker 26: Springfield Nazarene Church. All right, one one seventh seventh, Springfield
Speaker 26: Park in that Cincinnati, Ohio.
Speaker 1: All right, gentlemen, have a merry Christmas, have a blessed
Speaker 1: New Year, and I can't wait to see Spirit works
Speaker 1: the Rick Green story, you was WHOA all right guy?
Speaker 3: Thank you for Merry Christmas. Mary Ho ho ho.
Speaker 1: There we go, Good morning kids. Time for gifts from
Speaker 1: Wally the secret to his success. Graham's is celebrating his
Speaker 1: one hundredth birthday and everybody is just amazed on how
Speaker 1: athletic and fit he looks.
Speaker 3: I mean, the guy looks great, he's one hundred.
Speaker 1: But finally he uh taking all these compliments, he he
Speaker 1: stands up gingerly and says, gentlemen, I'll tell you the
Speaker 1: secret of my success. I've been out in the fresh
Speaker 1: air every day, every day, exercising for the last seventy
Speaker 1: five years.
Speaker 3: They're just amazed.
Speaker 1: And somebody asked, well, how do you keep up this
Speaker 1: rigorous fitness regime, especially at your age now? He said, well,
Speaker 1: you see, when my wife and I got married seventy
Speaker 1: five years ago, on our wedding night, we made a
Speaker 1: solemn vow to each other, and it was whenever we'd
Speaker 1: have a fight, the one who was wrong would go
Speaker 1: outside and take a long walk. Thought about James Brown
Speaker 1: and Christmas in the Ghetto. But Liam suggested front DMC
Speaker 1: for the Hey Mot Segment'll let.
Speaker 3: This breathe a moment. Rev and the Boys Christmas in
Speaker 3: Hobbits December twenty hats have at the dog, wait to
Speaker 3: see the man chill and when it dogging to pop
Speaker 3: the very thought he whooped my hoble of fifth to
Speaker 3: get a dog. Hey Mo, what up?
Speaker 15: Mary?
Speaker 3: Christmas?
Speaker 14: Merry Christmas?
Speaker 3: Well, I tell you what, last night's got to be
Speaker 3: one of the tougher nights for you as a as
Speaker 3: a UC bear Cat broadcaster. Your Bearcats beat your Flyers.
Speaker 3: You're alma mater u se ud. Is that always a
Speaker 3: conflicted game for you, Moeger?
Speaker 24: Not really.
Speaker 16: I'm a bigger Bearcat fan than a Flyer fan, you know.
Speaker 16: I tell people I became a UC fan. I could
Speaker 16: pinpoint the exact day, November twenty eighth, nineteen ninety that
Speaker 16: predates my association with the University of Dayton. It's obviously
Speaker 16: two programs I care about deeply, two teams that are
Speaker 16: are having excellent seasons. But it's not that conflicting for me.
Speaker 16: When I was a student at UD, Cincinnati played the
Speaker 16: Flyers my senior year in Dayton, I'm sorry in Cleveland,
Speaker 16: and a bunch of us went up to the game,
Speaker 16: and I was an active student at ud and I
Speaker 16: wore bear Cat year for the Cats to a fifty
Speaker 16: one fifty victory over the Flyers.
Speaker 3: Sure there was some Jesuit priests that were very disappointed
Speaker 3: in you.
Speaker 16: Well, Dayton's Marianist.
Speaker 1: So no, oh, okay, they're Marianists. I didn't know what
Speaker 1: I didn't know the see not being Catholic. I don't
Speaker 1: know the distinction between Maryanists and Jesuits. Now is Xavier Jesuitist?
Speaker 16: Xavier's Jesuit and Dayton's Marianist?
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, so for for a future reference, I
Speaker 3: will mark that.
Speaker 1: So last night, speaking of Catholics, Notre Dame proved their
Speaker 1: dominance over Indiana, a game that was the first of
Speaker 1: the National College Championship Playoffs, and Chalk prevailed with Notre
Speaker 1: Dame at home. I love the fact that they are
Speaker 1: playing home games for the first round. Don't you think
Speaker 1: that's cool?
Speaker 16: It's awesome. It's it's really awesome, and it gives I
Speaker 16: think it does two things. Number one, it gives folks
Speaker 16: a chance to go see big games like this that
Speaker 16: might not have the ability to go travel to see
Speaker 16: their team play, you know, maybe namely students, and you know,
Speaker 16: I mean I went to the Cotton Bowl four years
Speaker 16: ago when U SEE was in an in. The atmosphere
Speaker 16: was terrific, But there are a lot of folks of
Speaker 16: that game who don't have a rooting interest in either team.
Speaker 16: When you have a game on campus, it's a little
Speaker 16: bit different. I didn't get a chance to see a
Speaker 16: lot of it because of the Bearcat game last night,
Speaker 16: but it looked really cool. And ESPN College Game Days
Speaker 16: set up for, you know, a late afternoon slash early
Speaker 16: evening broadcasts right outside touchdown Jesus was a beautiful visual.
Speaker 16: It was really cool.
Speaker 3: It's a shame that these lesser.
Speaker 1: Division one college bowl games they don't follow the same
Speaker 1: script with that, because it's just brutal to watch the
Speaker 1: empty stands and the games that are not playoff games.
Speaker 1: I mean, you get rewarded to go to a bowl
Speaker 1: you maybe won six games in your season, you're not
Speaker 1: all that great. You're playing another team that's not all
Speaker 1: that great, and you're playing at miles away from home
Speaker 1: in front of no one but the TV cameras.
Speaker 3: I mean, you get what I'm saying.
Speaker 16: Very much. So it's been to a lot of those
Speaker 16: bowl games too, and there's a definitive lack of atmosphere. Look,
Speaker 16: those bowl games have diminister in statures significantly over the
Speaker 16: last three decades. There's no getting around that. I'm not
Speaker 16: sure there's anything that can really be done to rect
Speaker 16: defy that, But you're right. I mean, look, I've I've
Speaker 16: been to the Birmingham Ball, the International Bowl, the for
Speaker 16: Worth Bowl, the Papa John's Dot Com Bowl, and in
Speaker 16: none of those circumstances was was there much of an
Speaker 16: actual game at this year. But the players do seem
Speaker 16: to love going. They certainly loved the swag and the
Speaker 16: gifts that they get for playing in those games, and
Speaker 16: so they still view it as a reward and an opportunity.
Speaker 16: But the games themselves are typically, in this day and
Speaker 16: age especially, not very well played and not heavily attended.
Speaker 1: And and they're only played, I think, basically for the
Speaker 1: institutions that are involved in the gamblers.
Speaker 3: Don't you find it? That's true?
Speaker 16: That? And and they yes, and they eat a lot
Speaker 16: of innings on ESPN, and I you know, you hear
Speaker 16: that a lot this time of year. ESPN can put
Speaker 16: on a four hour bowl game and that occupies a
Speaker 16: significant chunk of time. But yeah, I mean, uh, the
Speaker 16: folk sign who loves sports, gambling, love Bowl Week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so like during the holidays, you're bound to at
Speaker 1: some point someday here a six hour Gary Jeff Marathon
Speaker 1: and nobody needs them. Today Number ten SMU plays number
Speaker 1: four Penn State. I'm going chalk here with this one too.
Speaker 1: I'm going to Nitney Lions.
Speaker 16: You know, I'm interested in whether a James Franklin coach
Speaker 16: team shows up in the big game the way they
Speaker 16: often have not throughout his tenure. SMU is a really
Speaker 16: fun story coming over from the American Athletic Conference. But
Speaker 16: the Nitney Lions I think have the better team, obviously
Speaker 16: playing at home. See a halfter factor that in and
Speaker 16: so I'm with you. I think this is of the
Speaker 16: three games, maybe the easiest to predict. I'll take the
Speaker 16: Nitney Lions hook.
Speaker 3: Him Horns against Clemson.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, kind of along similar Lions. This was
Speaker 16: a superior team all year long. Cunson, you know, it's
Speaker 16: remarkable to say that they they snuck in, but they
Speaker 16: kind of did. We see where they're seated. I think
Speaker 16: Texas is just going to be a little bit too much.
Speaker 1: And in the nightcap, which I'm fond of saying that
Speaker 1: because that's my show on Mondays and Tuesday nights. Win
Speaker 1: It Airs Ohio State hosting ut This is this is
Speaker 1: a nail bier, isn't it, Especially the way the Buckeyes
Speaker 1: left their season after the Michigan game.
Speaker 16: Yeah, no question, fascinating dynamic Ohio State at home. You know,
Speaker 16: I read this week They're expecting possibly thirty thousand Tennessee
Speaker 16: fans in the stands tonight. Ryan Day is coaching with
Speaker 16: a ton of pressure on him. I'm not sure he
Speaker 16: has to win the national championship, but after losing to
Speaker 16: Michigan the way he did, I don't know that I
Speaker 16: want to be him as they lose at home as
Speaker 16: a touchdown favorite to Tennessee tonight, I'll still lean on
Speaker 16: that Ohio State defense. From a Buckeye perspective, you would
Speaker 16: certainly hope that Ryan Day coaches a little bit more
Speaker 16: aggressively against the volunteers than he did against Michigan. But
Speaker 16: I think the atmosphere in that stadium is going to
Speaker 16: be really interesting this week in into the second half,
Speaker 16: and the volunteers are leading.
Speaker 3: Give it up for the Bobcats.
Speaker 1: Ohio b Jacksonville State yesterday in a game that really
Speaker 1: wasn't that close all game, and Jacksonville State made it
Speaker 1: interesting at the end thirty to twenty seven. The Bengals
Speaker 1: have an eight percent chance of making the playoffs now
Speaker 1: after San Diego's defeat of the Broncos. I mean, basically,
Speaker 1: the world needs to turn sideways for that to happen.
Speaker 1: But the Bengals just have to win, baby.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's the key component. Right.
Speaker 16: You can dive in and to all the nuts and
Speaker 16: bolts of what the Dolphins have to do, and what
Speaker 16: the Colts have to do, and what the never Broncos
Speaker 16: have to do, but it's all for not if the
Speaker 16: Bengals don't take care of business. The good news for
Speaker 16: them is for the third consecutive week going to play,
Speaker 16: they're going to get substandard quarterbacks play from their opponent
Speaker 16: with Dorian Thompson Robinson, who's taken over for Jamis Winston.
Speaker 16: He came into the game against the Bengals in Cleveland
Speaker 16: back in October and immediately threw a couple of picks.
Speaker 16: Cincinnati's defense has feasted on turnovers the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 16: certainly last week against the Tennessee Titans. Yeah, and if
Speaker 16: they win the game tomorrow, they set themselves up for
Speaker 16: a pretty meaningful game against the team they're chasing, the
Speaker 16: Denver Broncos, who will have a decided rest advantage at
Speaker 16: home next week.
Speaker 1: All right, fantastic, Well, Moe, enjoy the holidays, enjoy the
Speaker 1: football and the basketball. I know that this is a
Speaker 1: glorious time of the year for somebody who's speaking of sports,
Speaker 1: as Howard Cosell used to say, And for you and
