Speaker 1: Walker and you're not. I bet you're very happy about that.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mean if I were you. Uh Anyway, seven
Speaker 1: minutes after the hour, A thought, just an idea, Maybe
Speaker 1: to teach those city beat writers a lesson about blocking
Speaker 1: off traffic on the Robling Suspension Bridge in protest. Maybe
Speaker 1: to teach them a lesson, they should have to spend
Speaker 1: the night in lockup with the thirteen year old criminal
Speaker 1: who was shooting fireworks at Red, White and Blue Ash.
Speaker 1: That'll scare them straight. Put the fear of God in him.
Speaker 1: That's what they need right there. That's all just my opinion,
Speaker 1: which isn't worth anything. Food for thought. Don't eat too much.
Speaker 1: Dave and Harrison, Good morning, Dave.
Speaker 8: What's up garage ass?
Speaker 1: When last I saw you, you were having fun with
Speaker 1: your buddies from second grade. I mean, you're all grown up.
Speaker 1: They weren't second graders now, they were second graders then
Speaker 1: when you were in second grade at Montford Heights. I believe,
Speaker 1: is that correct? Steve and Doug came in with you
Speaker 1: to the bar on Thursday and we had a wonderful
Speaker 1: time together, telling stories, telling jokes, playing music, and mostly
Speaker 1: drinking a lot of beer, right.
Speaker 3: Dave, something like that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I just as I get older, I'm a
Speaker 1: man of certain age, just like you are. I didn't
Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure that my memory served me correctly,
Speaker 1: that all of that happened or I didn't know if
Speaker 1: it was a hallucination or if it really happened. But
Speaker 1: you're confirming that it did and indeed happen, correct, I believe?
Speaker 9: Say yes, hey, Dave, off the off the record, Hey Dave,
Speaker 9: what yes.
Speaker 1: What did the what did the frog say to his
Speaker 1: buddies when he jumped into the pond? Needy need deep
Speaker 1: needy Ney?
Speaker 9: Yeah, that was a frog joke somewhere. But Jeff, yeah.
Speaker 1: Number one twenty five, one twenty five, I want to
Speaker 1: hear one twenty five right now, Dave.
Speaker 8: Well, it was just thirty three, But we'll work or whatever.
Speaker 3: Jeff, I wouldn't.
Speaker 9: I wouldn't worry about your smartphone or TV or let's
Speaker 9: a spine on you?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 9: Well, because your vacuum coinner has been gathering dirt on
Speaker 9: you for years? Jeor, Jeff, what do you call a
Speaker 9: man who can't stand?
Speaker 1: A man who can't stand?
Speaker 10: Neil Georg, Jeff, you know what happened two weeks ago?
Speaker 1: What happened two weeks ago? Dave?
Speaker 9: I sent my hearing aid in for repair, and you
Speaker 9: know what what? I have heard nothing since?
Speaker 1: What did you say?
Speaker 9: I said, I've heard nothing since.
Speaker 11: Jokes told by Dave from Harrison are not necessarily considered
Speaker 11: funny by the staff, management, or advertisers of seven hundred
Speaker 11: WLW or his parent company, iHeartMedia. If these attempts at
Speaker 11: humor have caused you to roll your eyes, made your
Speaker 11: stomach churn, or you have considered the entire sized to
Speaker 11: be a colossal waste of time, we deeply apologize. Now
Speaker 11: back to our irregular programming.
Speaker 1: So so what are you? What device are you listening
Speaker 1: to us on this morning? And how are we coming in?
Speaker 3: Pardon?
Speaker 12: This is a from nineteen forty six. It's a portable
Speaker 12: AM radio by the brand.
Speaker 3: Gard Garred Garad.
Speaker 12: I don't know g R O D. I got excited
Speaker 12: when I acquired this thing years ago because I thought
Speaker 12: it was made by Garrard, which was the high end
Speaker 12: turntable manufacturer for many, many years in the high Fi era. No,
Speaker 12: no such luck, but Garred Radio Corporation, Brooklyn, New York.
Speaker 12: It's just a little portable. It's kind of a cute idea.
Speaker 12: It looks sort of like what some would call the toolbox,
Speaker 12: or sorry, the treasure chest or the jewel box, where
Speaker 12: the radio would lay flat and you'd lift the lid
Speaker 12: and it would expose the dial and the speaker grill
Speaker 12: and so forth. It has that look to it, except
Speaker 12: it sits upright, so it has this sort of flip
Speaker 12: top lid on it. Some of them were plastic, bake light,
Speaker 12: leather covered whatever. Mine looks like it was made out
Speaker 12: of a cardboard, your.
Speaker 10: Case covered in and.
Speaker 12: What year is this, nineteen forty six, So again using
Speaker 12: whatever they had left or available immediately post war. It's
Speaker 12: a five to tube radio. And one of the interesting
Speaker 12: things about this, which was the reason the person was
Speaker 12: selling it, was because they complained that it had this
Speaker 12: huge problem, which is that it would turn on immediately
Speaker 12: if you grant it on batteries, but if you plugged
Speaker 12: it in, it wouldn't work.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 12: The problem is if you plug it in, there's a
Speaker 12: fifth tube in there that takes me admittedly freaking forever
Speaker 12: to warm up and start working. So you have a
Speaker 12: normal weight for the tube to warm up, big tube
Speaker 12: to warm up when you plug it in, the other
Speaker 12: four tubes are low voltage and come on almost immediately,
Speaker 12: and that still scares me every time. Yeah, why is
Speaker 12: it working? Anyways? It's an AM radio which got kind
Speaker 12: of a funky almost triangular shaped dial vertical dial on it,
Speaker 12: and it took the classic sixty seven and a half
Speaker 12: in seven point five volto back. But I did find
Speaker 12: an entry for this thing in the Radio and TV
Speaker 12: Retailing magazine nineteen forty seven is grudgs silver Anniversary. Through
Speaker 12: the years we have acquired the know how in quotes
Speaker 12: in engineering and construction, they know how quotes in radio
Speaker 12: merchandising and promotion. In other words, they went into it
Speaker 12: just completely ignorant, but finally, being our two autmosis the
Speaker 12: boblog enough they finally figured some radios.
Speaker 1: Do you know that that fits? I mean, I've been
Speaker 1: doing this for a little over forty five years, and
Speaker 1: I'm finally kind of getting the hang of it, so
Speaker 1: I understand that completely.
Speaker 12: So the new luxury portable is this model, which, by
Speaker 12: the ways of five D two, a new model, a
Speaker 12: better portable, weighs less than six and a half pounds
Speaker 12: without batteries. Wow, famous Garar electric circuit, famous invisible in quotes,
Speaker 12: built in antenna. Yeah, it's pretty obvious. It's not invisible
Speaker 12: at all. Gay colorful cabinets. He was nineteen forty seven.
Speaker 12: Come on, right, you'll sell them, buy the hundreds during
Speaker 12: summer vacation and travel months. Okay, sure, you will, probably
Speaker 12: not hundreds to each customer.
Speaker 3: I'm assuming.
Speaker 12: Unlet's do that, unreliable, you know me?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, six and a half pounds without batteries doesn't
Speaker 1: sound exactly like it's light weight either. I mean that
Speaker 1: that weighs more than our kit and Frankie right now,
Speaker 1: which I can pick him up with one hand, but
Speaker 1: very soon that's going to be more and more difficult
Speaker 1: to snatch him up. So I can't imagine just easily
Speaker 1: grabbing I mean, it's only six and a half pounds.
Speaker 1: I'm not totally weak armed, but still that's not exactly lightweight,
Speaker 1: is it?
Speaker 2: Not?
Speaker 1: At all?
Speaker 12: And they have another model that weighs almost less than
Speaker 12: five pounds. It says can easily slip into a suit pocket.
Speaker 12: Oh really, well, it might slip in there, it might
Speaker 12: slip right through it.
Speaker 1: Let's say, yeah, if you don't like your suit pockets,
Speaker 1: go ahead and try and put that sucker in there.
Speaker 12: Give you that gate you've always wanted.
Speaker 3: While you're.
Speaker 1: So, what's the performance like as far as how.
Speaker 12: It sounds, it's got a small speaker, so it doesn't
Speaker 12: it's not exactly booming base or anything. I mean, And
Speaker 12: the sound quality is okay. And as far as the
Speaker 12: reception goes for a for a portable, it's not bad.
Speaker 12: But I mean I give it a four by four.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 12: It's one of those that doubt. In my basement, it's
Speaker 12: a little iffy without antennahelp, which I have to break
Speaker 12: up because it doesn't have an external antenna connection. But
Speaker 12: upstairs in the garage, which is actually where I was
Speaker 12: listening to it this morning running a wrench on the
Speaker 12: old Volvo, it does pretty well.
Speaker 1: Actually, well, you were fixing your car. Putting a wrench
Speaker 1: on the old Vovo is not a code for anything else, right.
Speaker 12: It's a sixty eight Volvo Amazon And as I've as
Speaker 12: my wife and I have been saying for twenty three years, now,
Speaker 12: in just a few months it'll be drivable.
Speaker 1: Well, good luck to you, sir, Old Radio Reck at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com if you'd like to find out more
Speaker 1: from mister Washburn. Oh, you know, we've got a surprise
Speaker 1: phone call here. I haven't talked to this gentleman for
Speaker 1: a while from near Oak Harbor, Ohio, kind of like
Speaker 1: I don't know Oak Harbor, Lindsay area. The one and
Speaker 1: only Tim Shimming is back. Good morning, Tim.
Speaker 3: Good morning. How are you doing today?
Speaker 1: I'm doing fine. What's going on these days?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 3: Just busy, busy, busy. The Lindsay Sunflower Festival is next weekend.
Speaker 1: Oh you know, I had a feeling that it was
Speaker 1: just about that time of year for the Lindsay Sunflower Festival.
Speaker 1: Now do you get people from all over the world
Speaker 1: coming to Lindsay, Ohio for the sunflower fest?
Speaker 3: Everywhere?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, give me an example. How far away
Speaker 1: have people come to Lindsay Ohio for the Sunflower Festival.
Speaker 10: They come from everywhere.
Speaker 1: You're not more specific than that.
Speaker 3: I mean, well I thought they did.
Speaker 1: Maybe, I was do they do they land at the
Speaker 1: International Lindsay Municipal Airport to come to this or do they.
Speaker 3: Have to field? There is a field they can land in.
Speaker 1: So it's got it's got the tower and the lights
Speaker 1: in the windsock basically yes, yeah, Okay, how big is Lindsay, Ohio.
Speaker 3: It's it's very it's small, but it's probably more people
Speaker 3: there in one day than that there is there all year.
Speaker 8: Oh.
Speaker 1: I would imagine for the sunflowers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's thousands of people come to this.
Speaker 1: It's nine to nine. Is it next Saturday?
Speaker 3: Yes? And there's something there for everyone.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean if you like sunflowers, I guess, and everything,
Speaker 1: food trucks, stuff for kids to do, all.
Speaker 3: Kinds of things. Animals, tournament, yeah, tons of animals.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I mean I'll consider it. I usually have
Speaker 1: to work on Saturdays, but I mean.
Speaker 3: You could do your show and still make it here
Speaker 3: in time?
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I could. Actually, it's about it's about maybe
Speaker 1: three and a half four hours if I hopped off
Speaker 1: immediately at nine and just headed up.
Speaker 3: I'm sure you could stay with farmer Dan.
Speaker 1: Well, I could stay with farm but but see, I
Speaker 1: have to work at the bar too. So you're talking.
Speaker 1: You're talking to someone who doesn't have paid time off.
Speaker 1: I have no PTO. If I don't work, I don't
Speaker 1: get paid. And if I don't, if I don't get paid,
Speaker 1: then I don't eat. But I guess, but I guess
Speaker 1: you could you could feed me. That'd be your lunch.

Speaker 1: missus and I'll get back to you. Lindsay, Ohio. Now, Now,

Speaker 1: wonderful weekend. We'll talk to you soon. Thank you very much,
Speaker 1: brighte bye, looking forward to lunch and Lindsey not seven
Speaker 1: hundred WLW at six forty four on a Saturday morning,
Speaker 1: Gary Jeff with you on the Saturday Morning edition on
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW. I look forward to this next segment
Speaker 1: every week because, well just because it is so well
Speaker 1: thought out, so well written, and so well delivered by
Speaker 1: my friend Steve Simon from at Ohio. And here he
Speaker 1: is right now. Good morning, Steven, Good.
Speaker 14: Morning Gary Jeff. There's been a lot of discussion lately
Speaker 14: about the demise of my birthplace, New York City, amidst
Speaker 14: the current race for mayor.
Speaker 6: I don't know what the fuss.
Speaker 14: Is when you look at La Chicago or Columbus. What's
Speaker 14: the diff The Big Apple is not new to efforts
Speaker 14: to destroy it. In recent years, two famous universities, one
Speaker 14: an Ivy League Bastion, have been taken over by anty intellectuals,
Speaker 14: bringing back memories of Nazi Germany. The descent of higher
Speaker 14: education and the self destruction raises several questions about American
Speaker 14: intellectual history. I was gifted recently by my kids with
Speaker 14: Ron Cherno's biography of Mark Twain, an almost exclusively self
Speaker 14: taught man of American letters whose success was worldwide. Tom
Speaker 14: Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn got the ball rolling on a
Speaker 14: long career in writing, publishing, and stage presentations. Twain hobnob
Speaker 14: was some of the most famous nineteenth century writers, both
Speaker 14: here and abroad. I was fascinated by the lack of
Speaker 14: formal education of many of them. In this one thousand
Speaker 14: page Twain biography, ron Cherno cites Ohio born William Dean
Speaker 14: Howells nearly one hundred times a contemporary of Twains. Howels
Speaker 14: is recognized as the Dean of American letters. Yet his
Speaker 14: preparation for his journey into journalism consisted of no more
Speaker 14: than two years a formal education in Hamilton, Ohio, where
Speaker 14: his father was a typesetter who moved up to the
Speaker 14: editor's chair of the local newspaper. At age fifteen, the
Speaker 14: younger Howls had a poem published in the Ohio State Journal.
Speaker 14: Six years later, he got a full time job at
Speaker 14: the journal, writing poems and short stories. At twenty three,
Speaker 14: he visited Boston, where he was introduced to eminent writers
Speaker 14: of the day. He also found time to write his
Speaker 14: first book, Life of Lincoln, about the president's eighteen sixty campaign.
Speaker 14: In eighteen seventy five, Howls started his most famous journalistic post,
Speaker 14: editor of the Atlantic monthly. Two men could not have
Speaker 14: been more opposite in character and personality than William Dean
Speaker 14: Howells and the often scatter brained and mercurial Mark Twain.
Speaker 14: Their odd symmetry may be explained in Howell's quote, a
Speaker 14: friend knows how to allow for mere quantity in your
Speaker 14: talk and only replies to the quality. Hows is also
Speaker 14: credited with the so called realist movement in journalism, which
Speaker 14: he described as the truthful treatment of material. Wow, where
Speaker 14: the hell did that go? One suspects the relatively unsophisticated
Speaker 14: Howls background led to this quote. I hope the time
Speaker 14: is coming when not only the artists, but the common
Speaker 14: average man, who always has arts in his power, will
Speaker 14: also have the courage to apply it. I'm thinking of
Speaker 14: Lincoln independently. Mark Twain said, a nation's language is a
Speaker 14: very large matter. It is not simply a manner of
Speaker 14: speech among the educated handful. The speech of the uneducated
Speaker 14: multitude must also be considered. Twain thought Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
Speaker 14: was one of the two greatest pieces in the English language.
Speaker 14: Abe did not go to college. He split rails. Howells
Speaker 14: leaves us with two more gems. This thing we call civilization.
Speaker 14: We think it's an affair of epics and nations. It's
Speaker 14: really an affair of individuals. And on the subject of
Speaker 14: Jesus Christ, he said, writers may confess him or deny him,
Speaker 14: but you cannot exclude him. Next Wednesday is the one
Speaker 14: hundred and fortieth anniversary of the death of Ulysses Grant,
Speaker 14: who had just finished his memoirs as he laid dying
Speaker 14: of throat and tongue cancer. Mark Twain's company published that
Speaker 14: two volumes set, which gave Grant's impoverished widow four hundred
Speaker 14: and fifty thousand dollars. Als reviewed the book and said
Speaker 14: Grant is one of the most natural writers I ever read.
Speaker 14: Rip General, another Cincinnati area hero and college grad, should
Speaker 14: remember commencement means beginning, not end. I know I had
Speaker 14: to unlearn half of what I was told through three degrees.
Speaker 14: Think about that, folks, What the hell happened to education?
Speaker 14: Have a good weekend, Gary.
Speaker 1: Jeff, bye bye, Thank you. Sir had to unlearn most
Speaker 1: of what he was taught through three different degrees. Liam Tomlinson,
Speaker 1: that'll that that advice would serve you well. Center college
Speaker 1: grad Ray in Loveland, Brother Scott, how.
Speaker 3: Are you good morning, my friend?
Speaker 10: Good morning. You know it makes me feel a lot
Speaker 10: better about Fall State, didn't it you?
Speaker 1: Well what I what I endearingly call thirteenth grade. Yes,
Speaker 1: it so much better about Fall State.
Speaker 10: We're going to need I'm going to come back to
Speaker 10: you here now to help return us to marital bliss,
Speaker 10: because we once again have a disagree and the best
Speaker 10: way for us to settle it is usually with your
Speaker 10: calming voice and your knowledge rather than looking up the internet.
Speaker 10: So put on your musical cat.
Speaker 1: Dire streets for nothing, money for nothing, chicks for free?
Speaker 10: Yeah, well that's that's the rough, is it. There's two
Speaker 10: factions here in this household, and we need to come
Speaker 10: together as one.
Speaker 1: Okay, what what was the what wisdom of you're seeking
Speaker 1: about dire straits? Money for nothing?
Speaker 10: Is it checks for free?
Speaker 3: Or chicks for free?
Speaker 1: Chicks for free? Chicks for free, chicks for free?
Speaker 10: Yep, she's right again.
Speaker 1: Thank you, my brother, God, You're so welcome. I'm glad
Speaker 1: I could resolve that issue for you now. It's definitely
Speaker 1: chicks for free. Six fifty three w Jeff Weilerhonda dot
Speaker 1: Com into another hour of the Saturday morning edition for
Speaker 1: this Saturday, July nineteenth, twenty twenty five. I'm Gary Jeff Walker.
Speaker 1: Aren't you impressed? I'm not my friend Steve Shulty. No
Speaker 1: environmental minute per se this morning this week, because Steve
Speaker 1: Schulty and his bride Robin are right now on an
Speaker 1: Alaska cruise and I am so jealous. He's first hand
Speaker 1: witnessing the effects of man made climate change and global warming,
Speaker 1: cruising along the Alaska coast. Kidding by the way, physics,
Speaker 1: according to the CO two Coalition, physics demonstrates that increasing
Speaker 1: greenhouse gases cannot cause dangerous warming, extreme weather, or any harm.
Speaker 1: And CO two, of course, among its separate properties, are
Speaker 1: a provider of food for plants and people. Also, is
Speaker 1: a greenhouse gas not dangerous? Nothing to worry about here, Dennis,
Speaker 1: Doctor Dennis, and Annapolis is on the line in Steve
Speaker 1: Schulte's stead. So I don't know what you have in
Speaker 1: mind to talk about, but I'm sure it's something compelling
Speaker 1: and entertaining.
Speaker 8: What is most hopefully hopefully entertaining.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, what's going on, doctor Dennis.
Speaker 8: It's a little story about some dating sisters. I don't
Speaker 8: know if it's a story that's uh that's better than
Speaker 8: what Day from Harrison might offer.
Speaker 1: But is it radio friendly?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 1: It is? Okay, all right, that's the important I would
Speaker 1: and my finger on the dump button. Just we've got
Speaker 1: a big red button. We've got a big red button here,
Speaker 1: got a big red button here in the studio, and
Speaker 1: it just says dump and and if I hit if
Speaker 1: I hit the button, if I hit the button, then
Speaker 1: not only will the audio that I found to be
Speaker 1: not usable on the air is deleted from the on
Speaker 1: air signal, but the person who uttered that language will
Speaker 1: immediately drop through the floor wherever they are. Wherever they are.
Speaker 1: We have the technology to do this, Dennis, So be careful.
Speaker 8: Okay, well okay, so what's what's the story? So, so
Speaker 8: we have a father who's sitting at home with his
Speaker 8: four daughters when there's a knock at the door and
Speaker 8: the young man appears and announces, my name is Lance,
Speaker 8: and i'd like the chance to go to the dance
Speaker 8: with your daughter Dance. So soon after Lance and Nance
Speaker 8: have left, another guy shows up and says, my name
Speaker 8: is Shoe, and I'd like to go to the picture
Speaker 8: show with your daughter Flow. So they head out and
Speaker 8: then yet along comes yet another fellow who announces my
Speaker 8: name is Teddy, and I'm all ready to eat some
Speaker 8: spaghetti with your daughter Betty. So I'll go Teddy and Betty.
Speaker 8: And then about an hour later there's a frightfully loud
Speaker 8: knocking at the door. The father opens the door and
Speaker 8: then staggers an obviously drunk fellow who begins to slur
Speaker 8: my name is Tucker.
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. Joe and Floe go,
Speaker 1: Teddy and Betty eats spaghetti. Lance and Nance go to
Speaker 1: the dance, and then there's Tucker. Uh. Yeah, I had
Speaker 1: my finger. I had my finger on the dump button
Speaker 1: just in case it continued.
Speaker 3: It made the cut. I assume that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're still on the air, and you're still sitting
Speaker 1: in your chair. Hey, you're not going anywhere.
Speaker 8: That's right. Yeah. I was talking with a friend this week.
Speaker 8: If you have a minute or so, Yeah, I was
Speaker 8: talking with a friend this week, and I had been
Speaker 8: to Dallas a couple of years ago, and we were
Speaker 8: talking about the Summaris in Hamburgers and I said, well,
Speaker 8: we were in Dallas. We made it our mission to try, uh,
Speaker 8: you know, the the in and out burger and what
Speaker 8: a burger yeah, and they're both there and to compare
Speaker 8: them and all that, And I couldn't think of the
Speaker 8: name of what a burger. So I was doing a
Speaker 8: little search on the internet about, you know, the best
Speaker 8: burger places in Dallas on that show about fifteen places
Speaker 8: or twenty places. We're fairly good burgers. But I could
Speaker 8: not believe the name. This was a pub or some dive.
Speaker 8: I couldn't believe the name of this one place. What
Speaker 8: was Lee Harvey's.
Speaker 1: Oh god, oh man.
Speaker 8: I'm wondering if to had the man liquor Carcanoberger.
Speaker 1: You know, it's very nice, all right, So you were
Speaker 1: in Dallas with Alice while you were on Cialis, Thank you,
Speaker 1: Doctor Dennis, Tom Davis Diaries and more. Just to head
Speaker 1: on seven hundred WLW a quarter or after seven to
Speaker 1: fifteen Eastern time, that is on a Saturday morning, Gary
Speaker 1: Jeff walking with you on seven hundred WLW, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, there are portions of this program which if
Speaker 1: you weren't awake for them, you can enjoy later via podcast.
Speaker 1: Other portions are not available on podcasts because of course
Speaker 1: there are licensing rights. There's like songs, we can play
Speaker 1: songs on the air during the show, but they cannot
Speaker 1: be played on the podcast on Street because they are
Speaker 1: licensed differently separately. I don't I don't understand it all,
Speaker 1: but those are the rules. Producer Liam Tomlinson confessed to
Speaker 1: me earlier that he had an unusual evening last night,
Speaker 1: and I was gonna let him regale us with a
Speaker 1: little bit if he would of of what you experienced
Speaker 1: last evening. It was something new for you. Tell me
Speaker 1: what you did last night, Liam.
Speaker 7: So I was, hey, I'm buddy Hit. I was with
Speaker 7: the Buddy the other night and he said, Friday night,
Speaker 7: my friend's performing. And I was thinking, Okay, it's gonna
Speaker 7: be on a stage. It's gonna be cool, or just
Speaker 7: some bars gonna be rocking. It's going to be you know,
Speaker 7: chicks everywhere.
Speaker 1: Like Ray was talking about money for nothing and chicks
Speaker 1: for free, and it's just rock and roll and or
Speaker 1: something rock us and something that would be more along
Speaker 1: the lines of what you usually would be used to
Speaker 1: right in a little.
Speaker 7: Dive, maybe some smoke in the air, a little hazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: He says, it's that a place called the Conveyor Belt,
Speaker 7: and I'm like, okay, that's a cool name for a part.
Speaker 1: That is a very very industrial sounding, like it'ld be
Speaker 1: in a warehouse or something.
Speaker 7: So I walk I'm walking a couple of blocks away
Speaker 7: from where I'm staying at and I walk over there
Speaker 7: and I'm like, this is a bookstore and this is
Speaker 7: like an acoustic guitar set going on, and like I'm
Speaker 7: sitting like on the floor. I'm about I'm not like
Speaker 7: a small guy. I'm almost hoss love when I'm sitting there,
Speaker 7: like crisscross apple sauce in this little bookstore. It was
Speaker 7: a cool bookstore. I'll give the conveyor belt that and
Speaker 7: coming to him and then it was like an acoustic set,
Speaker 7: no talking. I I was just so confused, thrown off.
Speaker 7: I mean it was cool, it was great performances, but
Speaker 7: I I just was not in the right headspace to
Speaker 7: be in the place at that time.
Speaker 1: What was there the smell of CBD or cannabis and
Speaker 1: patuli or both.
Speaker 7: A little bit of everything. I'll just say this. I
Speaker 7: was also out of my element. It felt like a
Speaker 7: road game, like the crowd was going crazy, like on
Speaker 7: a road Meeter, you're on the sec or on the road.
Speaker 7: That was not my environment, right, It's cool, it was
Speaker 7: still a good place.
Speaker 1: Right. Did you feel like something changed inside you from
Speaker 1: this experience, said you, Did you get in touch with
Speaker 1: the inner lium or maybe your female side perhaps?
Speaker 7: Yeah, my divine feminine I've really started to understand after
Speaker 7: last night, I bought a book, So you actually bought
Speaker 7: would you buy Demons? Buy Thestvsky? A Russian? Yeah, writer familiar,
Speaker 7: familiar with his work. Yeah, so I'm excited to read that.
Speaker 7: So I guess I got something out of it. I'm
Speaker 7: a highly educated man. Now you're making fun of my
Speaker 7: liberal degree, but I'm just scholarly, Gary Jeff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the road to hell paved with coffee shops and
Speaker 1: bookstores and acoustic performances sitting cross legged on the floor.
Speaker 1: That was for the sixties and seventies. This is twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. Grow up, young man.
Speaker 7: I will say this. What nobody was on their phone.
Speaker 1: Here is that mad man Tom Davis with wild, wacky
Speaker 1: news stories from around the country and around the world.
Speaker 15: Your correspondent, Tom. Good morning, Gary Jeff. This week a
Speaker 15: tale as old as time. The mouse in the monster.
Speaker 15: But first, a genius in France just escaped a maximum
Speaker 15: security prison by hiding in luggage. A parolee walked out
Speaker 15: the door with a twenty year old crammed inside his luggage.
Speaker 15: Now Unfortunately, the guy who was paroled was caught as
Speaker 15: now being deemed an accomplice, while the escapee made it
Speaker 15: out and is still on the lamb. Sure, there's not
Speaker 15: much to do in Butte, Montana, but that doesn't mean
Speaker 15: you have to break the only McDonald's. Teenagers in Butte
Speaker 15: thought it would be a good idea to fill the
Speaker 15: soda fountain with soap. It had to be shut down
Speaker 15: completely for a few days while cleaning and repairs could
Speaker 15: be done. I mean, I love a good prank as
Speaker 15: much as then, but I don't love it nearly as
Speaker 15: much as I love a large coke from Mickey D's.
Speaker 1: Turns out Pennsylvania stinks. No really.
Speaker 15: A truck spilled twenty thousand rotten eggs near Lancaster. It
Speaker 15: was taking the rotten eggs to a mulch plant when
Speaker 15: rainfall started filling up the back of the truck, allowing
Speaker 15: the eggs that just start spilling over the side.
Speaker 1: And finally, careful when you pull that tab.
Speaker 15: A woman in Michigan was opening up a can of
Speaker 15: Monster Energy drink when a mouse ran out of a can.
Speaker 1: She screamed. Then she called the company. They say they're investigating.
Speaker 15: Meanwhile, she's loayured up says she's suffering from severe distress,
Speaker 15: trauma and physical illness. I mean, I get it makes
Speaker 15: me sick to my stomach to think that she might
Speaker 15: get some money out of this next week. A fifty
Speaker 15: five year old dad in Lopes with sons, twenty two
Speaker 15: year old fiance have a great weekend.
Speaker 1: Nice, Yeah, thank.
Speaker 16: You very much.
Speaker 14: Okay, Klass, do you have any questions for the paleon tala?
Speaker 7: Just logan? How did the Tyrannosaurus frex use toilet paper
Speaker 7: with such.
Speaker 17: Seven hundred WLW?
Speaker 12: Sport?
Speaker 1: Here's the over educated Liam Tomlinson with a sports report.
Speaker 7: Scotti Scheffer leads the British Open, currently at ten under
Speaker 7: he Te's off at ten thirty five. The Red's top
Speaker 7: the Mets last night, eight to four. Lodolo went seven innings,
Speaker 7: given up two earned run and striking out seven batters.
Speaker 7: Austin Hayes had two homers. Matt McLean and Tyler Stevenson
Speaker 7: each added two home runs. The Reds are back in
Speaker 7: action this afternoon. Nick Martinez on the mound for the
Speaker 7: Reds Clay Holmes on the mountain. For the Mets, first
Speaker 7: pitch is Severn four to ten. Inside pitch begins at
Speaker 7: three to ten right here on the home of the
Speaker 7: Reds seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: All right, so the state tree of Ohio just the Buckeye, right, Actually,
Speaker 1: Ohio state tree may not exist. Nineteen fifty three, the
Speaker 1: one hundred General Assembly decreed that the tree asclest globra,
Speaker 1: commonly know as the Buckeye, as hereby adopted as the
Speaker 1: official tree of the state. Unfortunately, Ohioans the buckeye is
Speaker 1: the Asculus glabra. The Asculus globra does not exist. The
Speaker 1: globra spelling repeated throughout many official legislative sources, including the
Speaker 1: current online version of the Ohio Revised Code. Ohio Senate
Speaker 1: Democrats communications director Casey Rife shared a photo of a
Speaker 1: Senate hard copy of the code, which reads asculus globra
Speaker 1: and then glabra is in parentheses, but the clarifying text
Speaker 1: is not repeated online. Riif said she did not know
Speaker 1: why the online version doesn't offer both spellings. The Ohio
Speaker 1: Legislative Service Commission is tasked with approving and digitizing the
Speaker 1: Ohio Revised Code, director of the Ohio Legislative Service Commission
Speaker 1: said the era is likely a typo, but they're still
Speaker 1: looking into it. You understand the genus asculus reserved to
Speaker 1: nut bearing trees and shrubs. Globra glabr is a Latin
Speaker 1: term that means smooth or hairless, referring to the buckeye
Speaker 1: smooth stems and leaves. Globra glo bra is not a
Speaker 1: Latin word and does not exist so as it is
Speaker 1: officially in the text of the Ohio Revised Code Ascleus
Speaker 1: globra means nothing. The state tree doesn't exist in its
Speaker 1: curtain spelled form. Now we've all seen a buckeye tree.
Speaker 1: We know what a buckeye, we know brutus buckeye, but
Speaker 1: as it is written asculus globra, there's no such thing.
Speaker 1: They've got to make this right. It may take a
Speaker 1: special legislative session to do it. Rock and Roll Archaeology

Speaker 1: Minute on a Saturday morning.
Speaker 14: Yes, as a nither scientist, it's surprising it bell blinded me.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 3: Oh Now, Gary Jeff, let's leave the violence to the left.
Speaker 1: You're right, you're right, You're absolutely right. This is before
Speaker 1: you get into whatever you've got planned. But this is
Speaker 1: the day that Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins
Speaker 1: went into orbit around the Moon in nineteen sixty nine,
Speaker 1: just before the big moon landing the next day.
Speaker 3: I heard you this morning.
Speaker 13: That's quite quite the event for all those many many
Speaker 13: years ago.
Speaker 3: And I mean, think about what they went through.
Speaker 1: Did you did you get to stay up and watch
Speaker 1: the moon landing?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I did.
Speaker 13: And the funny thing about it, I'm thinking, I mean
Speaker 13: I see the actual you know, Eastern time, what time
Speaker 13: they actually landed on the Moon, And I thought it
Speaker 13: was like I thought, like it was like two o'clock
Speaker 13: in the morning. I remember my dad coming in and said, hey,
Speaker 13: wake up, you want to get up and watch this?
Speaker 3: Like okay, okay did.
Speaker 1: We were living outside of We're living in suburban Chicago
Speaker 1: and so we're on Central time. But I remember my
Speaker 1: parents let me stay up for the moon landing. I
Speaker 1: was I was eight years old.
Speaker 3: Wow, Wow, someday we'll be back. Do you think that
Speaker 3: Peter Bronson is going to do a book signing at
Speaker 3: the conveyor Belt.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll have to ask if he's ever
Speaker 1: been to the conveyor belt.
Speaker 3: Anyhow, let's get to the topic.
Speaker 13: Here's an interesting I'll give you the headline first and
Speaker 13: I get into the specific China's clean air could be
Speaker 13: behind an acceleration and global warming. So what they article
Speaker 13: actually meet this topic is for the last fifteen years
Speaker 13: or so on the Eastern Asia, specifically China, they've been
Speaker 13: improving their sulfur dioxide emissions. They've been reducing them by
Speaker 13: like seventy five percent, okay.
Speaker 3: And what they're saying this does is because.
Speaker 13: You're reducing sulfur dioxide, so two, decreasing the cloud cover.
Speaker 13: And because it's decreasing the cloud cover, it's allowing the
Speaker 13: it would actually cool the earth, so we reflect light back.
Speaker 3: Up and not have the sunlight come true.
Speaker 13: So it's actually been masking the global warming effect because
Speaker 13: it's actually been like a Yin and yang type of thing,
Speaker 13: been cooling the earth and still allowing the Earth to
Speaker 13: help more because of global warming. And I just give
Speaker 13: you these numbers. These are so minute, I don't know
Speaker 13: how they measure these things, but they're based on one
Speaker 13: hundred and sixty computer models out of eight different climate models,
Speaker 13: blah blah blah. But basically they thought that over the
Speaker 13: last in twenty ten that the expected warming should only
Speaker 13: be like zero point two to three degrees centigrade, and
Speaker 13: it was actually zero point three to three degrees centigrade.
Speaker 13: So they think that this delta zero point one degree
Speaker 13: centigrade is related to the decrease in the clouds, allowing
Speaker 13: to keep the changing the cooling effect of the ear
Speaker 13: from the cloud cover side.
Speaker 1: I am more confused than I was when we started.
Speaker 13: I am to the basic thing is we got rid
Speaker 13: of the pollution, and we made it worse for ourselves.
Speaker 1: So we should call this we should call this segment
Speaker 1: into the weeds with science money and turn it into
Speaker 1: a gardening segment. Okay, all right, man, thanks lot, It's
Speaker 1: great to talk to all of us. Rick Green is
Speaker 1: standing by for a little bit of sanity and something

Speaker 20: Over the years you've brought them into your home. We
Speaker 20: were prescribed opioids after the C section, when Dad entered
Speaker 20: his back, when your basketball star tore his acl opioids
Speaker 20: helped with the pain, and you held onto them just
Speaker 20: in case, But did you know holding onto unused opioids
Speaker 20: puts your family at risk? Opioids are powerful pain reducing
Speaker 20: prescription medicines, but most people who are prescribed opioids don't
Speaker 20: finish their prescriptions, So millions of unused opioids are sitting
Speaker 20: at homes across the country, and tragically, more than one
Speaker 20: hundred Americans die every day from overdoses involving opioids. What
Speaker 20: can you do to protect your family? Remove the risk
Speaker 20: of unused opioids from your home, pills patches or syrups

Speaker 1: Good Morning Time will give strm Wally Ah. Driving in
Speaker 1: Cincinnati or anywhere, the light's yellow, it's about to turn
Speaker 1: red just in front of him. He does the right thing,
Speaker 1: stopping at the crosswalk, even though we could have beaten
Speaker 1: the light by accelerating through the intersection. The woman who's
Speaker 1: tailgating him is not happy. In fact, she's furious. She
Speaker 1: honks her horns. She screams in frustration as she missed
Speaker 1: her chance to get through the light. She drops her
Speaker 1: cell phone at her makeup on the floorboard. She's just
Speaker 1: all in a tizzy as she's in the middle of
Speaker 1: this ranch. She hears a tap on her window and
Speaker 1: looks up into the face of a very serious police officer.
Speaker 1: The officer orders her to exit her car with her
Speaker 1: hands up. He takes her to the police station where
Speaker 1: she searched, fingerprinted, photographed, placed in a holding cell. After
Speaker 1: a couple of hours, a policeman approaches the cell, opens
Speaker 1: the door, and escorts her back to the book desk,
Speaker 1: where the arresting officer is waiting with her personal effects,
Speaker 1: and he says to her, I'm very sorry for this mistake.
Speaker 1: You see, ma'am. I pulled up behind your car while
Speaker 1: you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in
Speaker 1: front of you, cussing up a blue streak, and I
Speaker 1: noticed the what would Jesus Do bumper sticker, the Choose
Speaker 1: Life license plate holder, the follow Me to Sunday School
Speaker 1: bumper sticker, and the chrome plated Christian fish emblem on
Speaker 1: the trunk. So naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car.

Speaker 9: Reds take on show Hey Otani in the and.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you I am truly at this moment
Speaker 1: as I'm speaking to you and doing my show Watching
Speaker 1: the Open on TV because it's on and I I
Speaker 1: would also tell you this that I would probably rather
Speaker 1: watch this while I'm doing my show than hear Moegger
Speaker 1: playing golf like I was last Saturday morning. But I
Speaker 1: mean that's just me personal taste. Hey, mo' not on
Speaker 1: the not on the links this morning? Are you?
Speaker 7: Uh No?
Speaker 6: But watching?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Watching Watching the Open. It's amazing when when they put
Speaker 1: us in these these boxes that they call studios and
Speaker 1: took all the big windows out so we can't see
Speaker 1: the outside world. We're just kind of in this little
Speaker 1: digital box which a bunch of television's rings in front
Speaker 1: of us, only which two work And I don't think
Speaker 1: that they work in any of the other talk studios,
Speaker 1: but they do work in this one. They're connected to something. Actually,
Speaker 1: I would much rather have the windows than the TVs.
Speaker 1: Do you do you ever miss that? Do you miss
Speaker 1: the old studios when we were on the other side
Speaker 1: of the building, when we actually could see the outside world.
Speaker 1: I just feel really really enclosed here and very very
Speaker 1: I'm a little verklemped to be honest with you. Do
Speaker 1: you miss the old studios, mo.
Speaker 6: I do like natural light coming in. I miss being
Speaker 6: able to see the producer that I'm working with.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, I.
Speaker 6: Think our new setup has its advantages, and the TV
Speaker 6: setup in our studio is much much better. I do
Speaker 6: I have fun to get go questions some of the design.
Speaker 6: But yes, during my show, I will routinely walk out
Speaker 6: Jess so I could see the outside, walk out into
Speaker 6: the office area so I could see the outside wall.
Speaker 1: When Dave Kitton described the new studios before we moved
Speaker 1: in as a combination of Chipotle and Apple Store going
Speaker 1: through Microsoft, my first thought before I'd ever seen them
Speaker 1: or experienced them was yuck. It's the last place I
Speaker 1: want to me. I've actually done portions of this show
Speaker 1: outside in the parking lot when the weather was nice.
Speaker 1: I took my cell phone and just said I'm going outside,
Speaker 1: and then that was kind of that was kind of nice.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I digress. Obviously, So what is what is
Speaker 1: the w NBA All Star Weekend, the skills competition and
Speaker 1: the game without Caitlin Clark. I mean, obviously she's there
Speaker 1: rooting on her team and helping code, but that's kind
Speaker 1: of a downer for the whole league, isn't it.
Speaker 6: Oh? Without question, she might not be the best player
Speaker 6: in the WNBA, but she is the biggest name. And
Speaker 6: you know, the TV ratings for that league, with her
Speaker 6: having an injury feld season, have been pretty good, but
Speaker 6: they go through the roof when Kaitlyn Clark plays. Now,
Speaker 6: I'll say this, Kelsey Mitchell from Princeton High School, who
Speaker 6: plays for the same team as Kaitlin Clark, is also
Speaker 6: going to be participating in the All Star Game, and
Speaker 6: so if you're looking for a local angle, you could
Speaker 6: watch her. And I happen to think that within a
Speaker 6: year or two, the best player in the league is
Speaker 6: going to be Pagebeckers of the Dallas Wings. But it
Speaker 6: goes without saying right now, she is the meal ticket
Speaker 6: for the WNBA, and that is no knock on any
Speaker 6: other player in that league. But she brought a lot
Speaker 6: of casual and non women's basketball fans to the set
Speaker 6: in college and she's done that, excuse me, in the WNBA,
Speaker 6: and she certainly would have done that with the All
Speaker 6: Star Game this week.
Speaker 1: You talked about the casual or non fans and I
Speaker 1: was raising my hand. I mean, Kaylen Clark absolutely brought
Speaker 1: me to watch women's college basketball when she was at
Speaker 1: Iowa like no other player in my lifetime, and she
Speaker 1: is the only reason I probably have paid any attention
Speaker 1: to the WNBA. And that's probably bad on me. Okay,
Speaker 1: that probably says more about me than it does the WNBA.
Speaker 1: But you know, I had a guy come up and
Speaker 1: tell me that he had a lot in common with
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark, and I said, how so he said, well,
Speaker 1: I'm attractive, athletic and I've nailed a bunch of threes.
Speaker 1: I don't know what he meant.
Speaker 6: But very nicely done. Look, that's not an indictment on you.
Speaker 6: I think in every sport there are individual athletes that
Speaker 6: bring people to the party. Tiger Woods did that golf
Speaker 6: in the late nineteen nineties. How many people had watched
Speaker 6: a golf tournament or had played golf before Tiger Woods
Speaker 6: in the late nineteen nineties, And then, you know, once
Speaker 6: Tiger's prime came and went, it was up to them
Speaker 6: to determine whether or not they were going to continue
Speaker 6: to watch. I certainly believe that if you look at
Speaker 6: the history of the NBA, there have been individual stars
Speaker 6: that have brought people to the party. I think we've
Speaker 6: had that in college basketball as well. I think baseball
Speaker 6: is struggling for somebody to do that in an era
Speaker 6: where there's a lot of great, you know, really transcending
Speaker 6: stars in baseball, they just haven't taken on a national level.
Speaker 6: So I don't know that that's an indictment against you.
Speaker 6: I think it's up to the WNBA two. Now that
Speaker 6: you have people that have come to the party because
Speaker 6: of Caitlyn Clark, keep them. And I think, you know,
Speaker 6: speaking for myself as somebody who hasn't watched a ton
Speaker 6: of WNBA basketball in his life, Caitlin Clark and others
Speaker 6: have brought me to the party and now I watch
Speaker 6: with more regularities and probably will continue to do so.
Speaker 6: But they could use her healthy, There's no question about that.
Speaker 6: Tough for that league this weekend to have the biggest name,
Speaker 6: maybe not the best player, but the biggest name in
Speaker 6: the league not participating.
Speaker 1: She is a wizard with the basketball though, as far
Speaker 1: as passing, just amazing stuff. The Reds started the second half,
Speaker 1: so called of the season last night in New York
Speaker 1: and did a number on the Mets. I mean, Nicolodolo was,
Speaker 1: you know, in really really good form last night and
Speaker 1: the home run bats came to play. But still the
Speaker 1: question with the Reds are are they going to be
Speaker 1: able to play small ball and score runs more consistently
Speaker 1: with runners in scoring position than they have been. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was a home run fest again that led them
Speaker 1: to the big lead last night, and that seems to
Speaker 1: have been the case in the offensive explosions the Reds
Speaker 1: have experience this year. It's all been based on the
Speaker 1: long ball, and they're simply not that kind of team
Speaker 1: that's going to give you that on a consistent basis.
Speaker 1: And you and I have talked about that a bunch.
Speaker 1: But what'd you think about last night and the way
Speaker 1: they opened up?
Speaker 6: Well, you know what a difference of week makes, right.
Speaker 6: Last week, Austin Hayes had one of the worst offensive
Speaker 6: games in the history of the franchise, zero for five,
Speaker 6: four strikeouts, grounded into a double play, They walked Eli
Speaker 6: Dela Cruz in front of him three times. Neither time
Speaker 6: did Austin hays By hitting behind him, come up with
Speaker 6: a big hit struck out to end the game. And
Speaker 6: then last night, you know, he hits two home runs
Speaker 6: the opposite way, which a big deal was made about
Speaker 6: that because Terry Francona had the hitters participate in a
Speaker 6: opposite field hitting contest in New York on Thursday during
Speaker 6: their workout after the All Star break, and Austin Hayes
Speaker 6: comes to the plate hits a couple of opposite field
Speaker 6: home runs last night, also had a basis loaded walk
Speaker 6: that very encouraging sign. Matt McClain hitting a home run
Speaker 6: along with another hit after striking out his first two
Speaker 6: times at the plate a very encouraging sign.
Speaker 3: I think he's the key.
Speaker 6: Because you want to play small ball, okay, you need
Speaker 6: more guys on base. We're guys more likely to get
Speaker 6: on base from up the top of the batting order.
Speaker 6: Matt McClain hit second. The Reds production in the two
Speaker 6: hole is among the worst in the league this season,
Speaker 6: so we talked about all the time, like you know,
Speaker 6: Ellie Dela Cruz needs to be protected with the hitters
Speaker 6: hitting behind him, and there's a validity to that. I
Speaker 6: think Ellie Dela Cruz needs to be protected by having
Speaker 6: more guys on base in front of him. And obviously
Speaker 6: TJ frieda leading off this season, has had a good year.
Speaker 6: Matt McClain has not, and He is a cornerstone of
Speaker 6: this team. He was their best player two years ago.
Speaker 6: If you were to list, you know, superlatives to the
Speaker 6: first half of the season, I think he would walk
Speaker 6: away with most disappointing performance. So last night was really encouraging.
Speaker 6: He can hit the long ball, but what I'm interested
Speaker 6: in is does he get on base, and if he
Speaker 6: does with more regularity, I think it opens things up
Speaker 6: a little bit more for this offense. Any good team,
Speaker 6: I believe has a quality hitter hitting in the two spot,
Speaker 6: and any average offense only gets a boost. And the
Speaker 6: Reds have pretty much above across the board an average offense.
Speaker 6: If they want to be slightly better, I think the
Speaker 6: production in the two spot has to improve. And let's
Speaker 6: face it, if it doesn't come from Matt McLain, they've
Speaker 6: tried Santiago Espinal there as well. That's not going to work.
Speaker 6: So that was my first takeaway, and then the other
Speaker 6: one was, you know, Nick Widolo continues to have very
Speaker 6: quietly a really strong season. He's not Andrew Abbott, He's
Speaker 6: not Hunter Green when Hunter Green's healthy, but Nick Widolo
Speaker 6: is healthy and more often than not, and he certainly
Speaker 6: did last night gives the Reds a chance to win.
Speaker 1: But by the way, on Hunter Green, how close are
Speaker 1: we to seeing him again? If at all?
Speaker 6: I don't think anybody. I don't think anybody has any idea,
Speaker 6: which I think is the frustrating part. You know, they've
Speaker 6: they were going to put him on a rehab assignment
Speaker 6: two weeks ago, then they scratched that he is still
Speaker 6: doing some throwing. He's down an Arizona, the Arizona Complex,
Speaker 6: But there seems to be no real idea when he's
Speaker 6: going to be able to pitch. And it's frustrating because
Speaker 6: when he's healthy, there aren't many pictures better than him
Speaker 6: and all of baseball. He's just, unfortunately frequently not healthy.
Speaker 6: And this has an air of mystery to it, where
Speaker 6: you wonder if it's not so much physical pain or
Speaker 6: an injury, an injury that you could diagnose on an MRI,
Speaker 6: but something mental where he's having a hard time kind
Speaker 6: of getting over the hup. I don't know what the
Speaker 6: answer is, but they need Hunter Green badly here in
Speaker 6: the second half of the season. It's frustrating that we
Speaker 6: don't know when we're going to see him on the
Speaker 6: mounting him.
Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to hear you after the
Speaker 1: All Star Game. But what did you think of the
Speaker 1: home run swing off? It's much better than Bude Sea
Speaker 1: Like declaring a tie and everybody going home frustrated. I
Speaker 1: kind of enjoyed it. What did you think of the
Speaker 1: home run swing to decide the All Star Game?
Speaker 6: I thought it was great. You're right, you know, the
Speaker 6: two thousand and two All Star Game in Milwaukee. I
Speaker 6: don't know why they couldn't have just cobbled that together
Speaker 6: on the fly. It's gonna have limitations because you know,
Speaker 6: many wondered, well, why didn't they use Aaron Judge, Why
Speaker 6: didn't they use shoe Heyo Tani show Heyo Tani was
Speaker 6: on a plane halfway across the country. By the time
Speaker 6: the swing off took place, Aaron Judge had left the ballpark.
Speaker 6: I guess you can't make those guys stay, and so
Speaker 6: you're not, in all likelihood if you do that, going
Speaker 6: to get the absolute best to the best and the best.
Speaker 6: But I thought it was entertaining and there was some
Speaker 6: novelty to it. You know, inevitably, you were going to
Speaker 6: hear people suggest that we should decide regular season games
Speaker 6: that are tied after nine innings that way, I don't
Speaker 6: think we want that, because I don't think we want
Speaker 6: games being decided by how good the first base coaches
Speaker 6: at throwing batting practice. But for an All Star game,
Speaker 6: I thought it was cool. And now I think every
Speaker 6: year we're going to be rooting for extra innings in
Speaker 6: the All Star Games so we can get more swing offs.
Speaker 1: Very very nice. Well, listen, I have a fantastic weekend
Speaker 1: to continue to watch the golf. This is just mesmerizing
Speaker 1: to me. I'm sorry. Uh so, everybody, just just turn
Speaker 1: your radios off and turn on the open There's no
Speaker 1: reason to even listen to the rest of this moager.
Speaker 1: Have a fantastic weekend, brother, all right, I'll see you
Speaker 1: all right? Oh counselor how you doing?
Speaker 16: Thanks a lot, man. You're telling everybody to turn off
Speaker 16: the radio.
Speaker 1: Well no, see you can. You can leave the radio
Speaker 1: on and turn the TV on with the sound down,
Speaker 1: just like we have right here right now, and get
Speaker 1: the best of both worlds. Just um, why not? I
Speaker 1: hear you? So have you been been spent a lot
Speaker 1: of time on the Robling Bridge?
Speaker 16: Oh yeah, yeah, I went down there. I was right
Speaker 16: in the middle of the protest. You know, I want
Speaker 16: to do my part.
Speaker 1: Well, I see, I think they ought to put these
Speaker 1: protesters just to maybe part of a scared straight program,
Speaker 1: like I was talking earlier. Put him in the jail
Speaker 1: cell with a hard and criminal like the thirteen year
Speaker 1: old who was arrested at Red, White, and Blue ash
Speaker 1: for firing firecrackers at people. You know what, a few
Speaker 1: hours with that little animal and maybe they'll straighten up
Speaker 1: and realize where they've they've gone wrong. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: that is not a protest. No, it started that right.
Speaker 16: It was a riot. And you know, I'm gonna thank
Speaker 16: and congratulate the Covington PD and Rob Sanders. They ain't
Speaker 16: messing around with this stuff. Gary Jeff, you know, there's
Speaker 16: no citizen complaint authority that I know of in Covington,
Speaker 16: and it looks like they're going to back their cops.
Speaker 16: Good they hear from me and others.
Speaker 1: Well, somebody else made the point in an email to
Speaker 1: me earlier about about the protester and how someone on
Speaker 1: our news staff had referred to him as a minister.
Speaker 1: He was a chaplain at children hospital. Oh yeah, the
Speaker 1: guy there I'm on who got arrested right by Ice
Speaker 1: detained anyway, and he is on a terrorist watch list.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, case closed then I guess, huh,
Speaker 1: well it should be. Yeah, you know, Joe Biden.
Speaker 16: Let's twenty five million people in this country nobody knows
Speaker 16: a damn thing about. And you know Trump is trying
Speaker 16: to clean the mess up. I get them out of here.
Speaker 16: And this is the stuff you gotta deal with.
Speaker 1: Right, Well it's it's not And you heard about the
Speaker 1: story this morning about a car plowing into people in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, thirty people hurt. I did not hear that,
Speaker 1: and you know we I'm being told we got it okay,
Speaker 1: but yeah, check that news story. Well that's breaking this morning.
