Uh Anyway, seven 60 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:36.279 minutes after the hour, A thought, just an idea, Maybe 61 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:41.199 to teach those city beat writers a lesson about blocking 62 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:48.439 off traffic on the Robling Suspension Bridge in protest. Maybe 63 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.959 to teach them a lesson, they should have to spend 64 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.319 the night in lockup with the thirteen year old criminal 65 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.079 who was shooting fireworks at Red, White and Blue Ash. 66 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:04.480 That'll scare them straight. Put the fear of God in him. 67 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:10.279 That's what they need right there. That's all just my opinion, 68 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.600 which isn't worth anything. Food for thought. Don't eat too much. 69 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.040 Dave and Harrison, Good morning, Dave. 70 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.759 What's up garage ass? 71 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:26.759 When last I saw you, you were having fun with 72 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.240 your buddies from second grade.

I believe, 75 00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:42.639 is that correct? Steve and Doug came in with you 76 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.319 to the bar on Thursday and we had a wonderful 77 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:52.079 time together, telling stories, telling jokes, playing music, and mostly 78 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.800 drinking a lot of beer, right. 79 00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.839 Dave, something like that? 80 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:03.879 Yeah, yeah, I just as I get older, I'm a 81 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.759 man of certain age, just like you are.

If these attempts at 112 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.519 humor have caused you to roll your eyes, made your 113 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.560 stomach churn, or you have considered the entire sized to 114 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:04.560 be a colossal waste of time, we deeply apologize. Now 115 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.519 back to our irregular programming. 116 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:12.040 So so what are you? What device are you listening 117 00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.319 to us on this morning? And how are we coming in? 118 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:16.120 Pardon? 119 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:21.000 This is a from nineteen forty six. It's a portable 120 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.160 AM radio by the brand. 121 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:24.839 Gard Garred Garad. 122 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:29.560 I don't know g R O D. I got excited 123 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:33.080 when I acquired this thing years ago because I thought 124 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.559 it was made by Garrard, which was the high end 125 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:40.919 turntable manufacturer for many, many years in the high Fi era. No, 126 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:44.840 no such luck, but Garred Radio Corporation, Brooklyn, New York. 127 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.480 It's just a little portable. It's kind of a cute idea. 128 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.559 It looks sort of like what some would call the toolbox, 129 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:57.559 or sorry, the treasure chest or the jewel box, where 130 00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.559 the radio would lay flat and you'd lift the lid 131 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.679 and it would expose the dial and the speaker grill 132 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.559 and so forth. It has that look to it, except 133 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:09.240 it sits upright, so it has this sort of flip 134 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.480 top lid on it. Some of them were plastic, bake light, 135 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.960 leather covered whatever. Mine looks like it was made out 136 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:18.960 of a cardboard, your. 137 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.919 Case covered in and. 138 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:27.240 What year is this, nineteen forty six, So again using 139 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:32.879 whatever they had left or available immediately post war. It's 140 00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:35.960 a five to tube radio. And one of the interesting 141 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.960 things about this, which was the reason the person was 142 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.480 selling it, was because they complained that it had this 143 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.639 huge problem, which is that it would turn on immediately 144 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.080 if you grant it on batteries, but if you plugged 145 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:48.960 it in, it wouldn't work. 146 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:49.440 Well. 147 00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:51.000 The problem is if you plug it in, there's a 148 00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.120 fifth tube in there that takes me admittedly freaking forever 149 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.279 to warm up and start working. So you have a 150 00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:00.559 normal weight for the tube to warm up, big tube 151 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:02.840 to warm up when you plug it in, the other 152 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.720 four tubes are low voltage and come on almost immediately, 153 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.559 and that still scares me every time. Yeah, why is 154 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.759 it working? Anyways? It's an AM radio which got kind 155 00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:17.759 of a funky almost triangular shaped dial vertical dial on it, 156 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.960 and it took the classic sixty seven and a half 157 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:26.360 in seven point five volto back. But I did find 158 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.320 an entry for this thing in the Radio and TV 159 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:37.519 Retailing magazine nineteen forty seven is grudgs silver Anniversary. Through 160 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.000 the years we have acquired the know how in quotes 161 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.159 in engineering and construction, they know how quotes in radio 162 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:49.639 merchandising and promotion. In other words, they went into it 163 00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:53.600 just completely ignorant, but finally, being our two autmosis the 164 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.440 boblog enough they finally figured some radios. 165 00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:59.279 Do you know that that fits? I mean, I've been 166 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.519 doing this for a little over forty five years, and 167 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.080 I'm finally kind of getting the hang of it, so 168 00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:05.960 I understand that completely. 169 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.080 So the new luxury portable is this model, which, by 170 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:14.679 the ways of five D two, a new model, a 171 00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:19.440 better portable, weighs less than six and a half pounds 172 00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:27.399 without batteries. Wow, famous Garar electric circuit, famous invisible in quotes, 173 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:32.720 built in antenna. Yeah, it's pretty obvious. It's not invisible 174 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:38.080 at all. Gay colorful cabinets. He was nineteen forty seven. 175 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:41.480 Come on, right, you'll sell them, buy the hundreds during 176 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:49.240 summer vacation and travel months. Okay, sure, you will, probably 177 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:50.639 not hundreds to each customer. 178 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:51.200 I'm assuming. 179 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.159 Unlet's do that, unreliable, you know me? 180 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:58.159 Yeah, Well, six and a half pounds without batteries doesn't 181 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:02.399 sound exactly like it's light weight either. I mean that 182 00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:05.840 that weighs more than our kit and Frankie right now, 183 00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.600 which I can pick him up with one hand, but 184 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.559 very soon that's going to be more and more difficult 185 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:18.120 to snatch him up. So I can't imagine just easily 186 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.519 grabbing I mean, it's only six and a half pounds. 187 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:26.600 I'm not totally weak armed, but still that's not exactly lightweight, 188 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:27.519 is it? 189 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:27.879 Not? 190 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:28.399 At all? 191 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:33.679 And they have another model that weighs almost less than 192 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:38.399 five pounds. It says can easily slip into a suit pocket. 193 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.240 Oh really, well, it might slip in there, it might 194 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:42.200 slip right through it. 195 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.639 Let's say, yeah, if you don't like your suit pockets, 196 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:47.840 go ahead and try and put that sucker in there. 197 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:50.799 Give you that gate you've always wanted. 198 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:51.360 While you're. 199 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:55.720 So, what's the performance like as far as how. 200 00:12:55.600 --> 00:13:01.519 It sounds, it's got a small speaker, so it doesn't 201 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.399 it's not exactly booming base or anything. I mean, And 202 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:07.480 the sound quality is okay. And as far as the 203 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:12.159 reception goes for a for a portable, it's not bad. 204 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.360 But I mean I give it a four by four. 205 00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:15.080 Okay. 206 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.159 It's one of those that doubt. In my basement, it's 207 00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:21.200 a little iffy without antennahelp, which I have to break 208 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:24.159 up because it doesn't have an external antenna connection. But 209 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.080 upstairs in the garage, which is actually where I was 210 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.639 listening to it this morning running a wrench on the 211 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:32.960 old Volvo, it does pretty well. 212 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:36.799 Actually, well, you were fixing your car. Putting a wrench 213 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:40.840 on the old Vovo is not a code for anything else, right. 214 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:46.279 It's a sixty eight Volvo Amazon And as I've as 215 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:49.159 my wife and I have been saying for twenty three years, now, 216 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.679 in just a few months it'll be drivable. 217 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:56.200 Well, good luck to you, sir, Old Radio Reck at 218 00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.000 gmail dot com if you'd like to find out more 219 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.879 from mister Washburn.

The Lindsay Sunflower Festival is next weekend. 228 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:32.320 Oh you know, I had a feeling that it was 229 00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:35.840 just about that time of year for the Lindsay Sunflower Festival. 230 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:39.200 Now do you get people from all over the world 231 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.720 coming to Lindsay, Ohio for the sunflower fest? 232 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:42.279 Everywhere? 233 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.240 Well, I mean, give me an example.

Is it next Saturday? 249 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:42.879 Yes? And there's something there for everyone. 250 00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:47.960 Well, I mean if you like sunflowers, I guess, and everything, 251 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.399 food trucks, stuff for kids to do, all. 252 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.200 Kinds of things. Animals, tournament, yeah, tons of animals. 253 00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.559 Okay, Well, I mean I'll consider it. I usually have 254 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.639 to work on Saturdays, but I mean. 255 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:06.399 You could do your show and still make it here 256 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:06.799 in time? 257 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.799 Well yeah, I could. Actually, it's about it's about maybe 258 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.120 three and a half four hours if I hopped off 259 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:17.399 immediately at nine and just headed up. 260 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.159 I'm sure you could stay with farmer Dan. 261 00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:22.440 Well, I could stay with farm but but see, I 262 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.919 have to work at the bar too. So you're talking. 263 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.279 You're talking to someone who doesn't have paid time off. 264 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.120 I have no PTO. If I don't work, I don't 265 00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:34.720 get paid. And if I don't, if I don't get paid, 266 00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:38.759 then I don't eat. But I guess, but I guess 267 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.679 you could you could feed me. That'd be your lunch. 268 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.960 All right, Well we'll we'll talk it over with the 269 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:49.440 missus and I'll get back to you. Lindsay, Ohio.

I look forward to this next segment 283 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:46.799 every week because, well just because it is so well 284 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:50.200 thought out, so well written, and so well delivered by 285 00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:53.599 my friend Steve Simon from at Ohio. And here he 286 00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:57.160 is right now. Good morning, Steven, Good. 287 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:01.119 Morning Gary Jeff. There's been a lot of discussion lately 288 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:06.680 about the demise of my birthplace, New York City, amidst 289 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:08.240 the current race for mayor. 290 00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:11.000 I don't know what the fuss. 291 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:16.440 Is when you look at La Chicago or Columbus. What's 292 00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:20.480 the diff The Big Apple is not new to efforts 293 00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:25.039 to destroy it. In recent years, two famous universities, one 294 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:29.519 an Ivy League Bastion, have been taken over by anty intellectuals, 295 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.720 bringing back memories of Nazi Germany. The descent of higher 296 00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:41.279 education and the self destruction raises several questions about American 297 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:47.000 intellectual history. I was gifted recently by my kids with 298 00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:54.240 Ron Cherno's biography of Mark Twain, an almost exclusively self 299 00:18:54.279 --> 00:19:01.160 taught man of American letters whose success was worldwide. Tom 300 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:05.960 Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn got the ball rolling on a 301 00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:14.160 long career in writing, publishing, and stage presentations. Twain hobnob 302 00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:17.880 was some of the most famous nineteenth century writers, both 303 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:22.480 here and abroad. I was fascinated by the lack of 304 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:27.119 formal education of many of them. In this one thousand 305 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:35.119 page Twain biography, ron Cherno cites Ohio born William Dean 306 00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:43.759 Howells nearly one hundred times a contemporary of Twains. Howels 307 00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:49.960 is recognized as the Dean of American letters. Yet his 308 00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:55.200 preparation for his journey into journalism consisted of no more 309 00:19:55.240 --> 00:20:02.039 than two years a formal education in Hamilton, Ohio, where 310 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:05.160 his father was a typesetter who moved up to the 311 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:10.799 editor's chair of the local newspaper. At age fifteen, the 312 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:14.480 younger Howls had a poem published in the Ohio State Journal. 313 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.759 Six years later, he got a full time job at 314 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:25.240 the journal, writing poems and short stories. At twenty three, 315 00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.759 he visited Boston, where he was introduced to eminent writers 316 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.640 of the day. He also found time to write his 317 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:41.079 first book, Life of Lincoln, about the president's eighteen sixty campaign. 318 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:48.319 In eighteen seventy five, Howls started his most famous journalistic post, 319 00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:55.000 editor of the Atlantic monthly. Two men could not have 320 00:20:55.119 --> 00:21:00.839 been more opposite in character and personality than William Dean 321 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:06.519 Howells and the often scatter brained and mercurial Mark Twain. 322 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:13.440 Their odd symmetry may be explained in Howell's quote, a 323 00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:18.400 friend knows how to allow for mere quantity in your 324 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:25.319 talk and only replies to the quality. Hows is also 325 00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:31.119 credited with the so called realist movement in journalism, which 326 00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:38.880 he described as the truthful treatment of material. Wow, where 327 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:45.480 the hell did that go? One suspects the relatively unsophisticated 328 00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:51.000 Howls background led to this quote. I hope the time 329 00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:55.599 is coming when not only the artists, but the common 330 00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:01.079 average man, who always has arts in his power, will 331 00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:05.920 also have the courage to apply it. I'm thinking of 332 00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:12.680 Lincoln independently. Mark Twain said, a nation's language is a 333 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:17.200 very large matter. It is not simply a manner of 334 00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:23.039 speech among the educated handful. The speech of the uneducated 335 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:30.079 multitude must also be considered. Twain thought Lincoln's Gettysburg Address 336 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.160 was one of the two greatest pieces in the English language. 337 00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:42.000 Abe did not go to college. He split rails. Howells 338 00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:47.279 leaves us with two more gems. This thing we call civilization. 339 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:53.599 We think it's an affair of epics and nations. It's 340 00:22:53.759 --> 00:23:00.799 really an affair of individuals. And on the subject of 341 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:06.599 Jesus Christ, he said, writers may confess him or deny him, 342 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:14.599 but you cannot exclude him. Next Wednesday is the one 343 00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:19.440 hundred and fortieth anniversary of the death of Ulysses Grant, 344 00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:23.799 who had just finished his memoirs as he laid dying 345 00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:31.200 of throat and tongue cancer. Mark Twain's company published that 346 00:23:31.319 --> 00:23:37.200 two volumes set, which gave Grant's impoverished widow four hundred 347 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:42.200 and fifty thousand dollars. Als reviewed the book and said 348 00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:47.839 Grant is one of the most natural writers I ever read. 349 00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:54.680 Rip General, another Cincinnati area hero and college grad, should 350 00:23:54.759 --> 00:24:03.119 remember commencement means beginning, not end. I know I had 351 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:08.559 to unlearn half of what I was told through three degrees. 352 00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:14.720 Think about that, folks, What the hell happened to education? 353 00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:17.400 Have a good weekend, Gary. 354 00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:21.319 Jeff, bye bye, Thank you. Sir had to unlearn most 355 00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:26.960 of what he was taught through three different degrees. Liam Tomlinson, 356 00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:30.440 that'll that that advice would serve you well.

I'm Gary Jeff Walker. 384 00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:31.440 Aren't you impressed? I'm not my friend Steve Shulty. No 385 00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:35.000 environmental minute per se this morning this week, because Steve 386 00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:38.640 Schulty and his bride Robin are right now on an 387 00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:46.759 Alaska cruise and I am so jealous.

Also, is 394 00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:30.519 a greenhouse gas not dangerous?
