Speaker 1 (00:00):
Money.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
It's not hard to make money, you just have to
pay attention. This is the Bloomberg Money Minute on seven
hundred WLWA, and we say.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Good morning to Matt Piper from the Bloomberg newsroom in
New York City. There's been a big cyber attack affecting
thousands of colleges across America as well as students and
all this leading up to graduation.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
That's right, it's actually not only happening here, this is worldwide.
So colleges from the US to Australia reported disruptions overnight
to the Canvas online learning portal after a cyber attack
against its operator that's called Infrastructure Inc. Now, some colleges
warned that student information might have been accessed as part
of this hack, including names, email addresses, and messages sent
(00:43):
through the system. Opportunistic hackers have for years found schools
to be easy targets, but universities have been especially hit
hard in recent months.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Meanwhile, go figure this one. We could soon see Apple
air pods with cameras, all having to do with AI
of course, so Apple says it's reached late stages of
development for new air pods with these built in cameras.
It will be the first wearable device designed for the
(01:13):
artificial intelligence era. Now, the earbuds feature cameras that essentially
act as eyes for the Serie Digital assistant, allowing the
device to capture visual information in low resolution and provide
that info to the user as they're wearing them. Okay, okay,
futures this morning, Yeah, looking into futures like those AI cameras.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
So down.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Futures right now are up one hundred and seventy four points.
As in p futures up thirty seven and as that
future is doing the best of all three up two
hundred eleven points right now from Bloomberg. Matt Piper on
News radio seven hundred wlw ah.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
You know I talk all the time about animal rescue
and that kind of thing and big fan of it,
given animals a second chance.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Well today you can get a two for one.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
You can get a great lunch at Citi Bird or
at dinner that's at one one three oh nine Montgomery Road.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
And if you mentioned Frankie's Furry Friends, this is an
animal rescue over in Alexandria, Kentucky. They do a phenomenal job.
Frankie's Furry Friends. If you mention them at Citybird today
between eleven o'clock this morning and nine o'clock tonight. Frankie's
(02:25):
Furry Friends will get a percentage of that money. They're
all volunteers. No one's making any money over there. All
foster homes, so the dogs have a wonderful, loving environment
while they're looking for their forever home. And uh, if
you want more information on them, just go to Frankie's
(02:47):
that's fr A n k I E S. Furry Friends
dot Rescue groups dot org. We wish them well. That's
going on at City Bird today up on Montgomery Road.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Good luck, good luck. All right.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Last week you may remember that the city came out
again our city quote unquote leaders about summer programs that
are designed to reduce summer violence and keep youth teenagers
safe in Cincinnati, and they're expanding that in twenty twenty six.
They're calling it Summer in the City. It's a program
(03:25):
which provides activities for kids when they get out of school, intending,
of course, to prevent the spike in gun violence we
typically see during the warmer months. Now, look, we know
that shootings are up in the town, not necessarily teen shootings,
but we remember a couple of events last year or
within the last year. We had the situation up in
(03:47):
Blue ash where three four five hundred kids come out
of nowhere and next thing you know, people are running around,
shots are being fired. Thought it was shots being fired,
turns out to be fireworks, and then the disaster on
opening day. Now, Joe Grody has been on the program
before and has been doing work in trying primarily, Joe,
(04:09):
you correct me if I'm wrong, primarily getting to the
true core of this problem with so many teenagers in
the inner city, and that is not having a dad around.
And you have worked countlessly hours for decades in trying
to get young men to become better dads, which trickle
(04:31):
down into you know, making better kids. And look, I
know you don't have all the answers. You don't you know,
say you have all the answers, but you think that
there's there's more that we should be doing besides just
some of these kinds of things.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Is that fair to say?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
That's that's correct? Com You know, I just think that
we don't look at the.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
After effect, the after effect.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
What do we do with these kids after they disrupt
things at Summit Park? What do we do after they
disrupt things on opening day. And you know, everything we
try to do is preventative, which is great, there's nothing
wrong with that, and there's some phenomenal programs out there.
But we see these same kids perpetrating these offenses, and
they're giving a slap on the wrist, you know. They
(05:19):
take them down to city Hall, and they take them
down to the courthouse wherever they book them, and they
let them go. And I think there needs to be
more done, and I have some ideas along those lines.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Well, let's talk about some of those, because you know,
whether it's gangs of these youth that are looking in
a moment's notice. Because of social media now they can
just show up somewhere, and as you mentioned, you know,
in some cases, there was a story that came out
about they have these areas where they'll take these kids,
and they're not taking any of the kids there. And
(05:50):
let's start with the fact that it seems like we're
throwing a lot of this on our police to do
this stuff instead of the actual parents or some other
avenues which we'll get to in a minute, But the
police are the ones that are really being burdened with
this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
They sure are. You know, they keep saying they're overburdened,
and I don't think they're making that up, you know,
and we don't have enough of them, which is a
whole another story. But you know, we have to make
it easier on the police and city leaders to have
something in their back pocket to say, look, guys, we
told you so. And these are the percussions all.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I want to talk about. Let's just say, for an example,
something that you would like to see done. And I
know and I said it a minute ago, but I
just want to say it again. This is not necessarily
a finished product some of these things that you've been
brainstorming for years and years, but you've been right in
the very heart of it, fighting it right to its
very core. Let's say a juvenile a young adult is
(06:49):
arrested for disorderly conduct. What should happen in your opinion
that we ought to be trying to expand upon or
look into a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Well, first of all, I think first offenses should be
looked at, and uh, you know, maybe the slap on
the wrist is all you need, because some kids just
beat the have you know, you know, what's scared out
of them one time and they might not come back.
But for the repeat offenders, I think we need to
do something and tell them, look, you, if you have
done this at two and three times, we're gonna hold
you for a week, you know, and we're gonna do
(07:23):
We're gonna have programs available to you. We're gonna x
X cons coaches, sports figures, you know, chosen speakers from
around the area who are going to try to put
a little bit of wisdom on these kids because obviously
they're not getting the wisdom that they need in their
day to day life. And hopefully by sitting them down,
you know, for a week and saying, hey, you know,
maybe what I did was wrong, because now I don't
(07:45):
just get off with the slap on the wrist. You know,
even if they don't listen to a word that said,
sitting on their rear end for a week might get
them to think, maybe this is the behavior I don't
really need to have.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
When you when you talk about howving different speakers come
down there, and you know as well as I do,
and really this has been true for a number of
years now. It may not have been when you and
I were growing up, but it seems like you know,
a guy like you, a guy like me. Uh, it
could be a political leader, it could be a business leader.
They can talk to these kids, but but maybe we're
(08:18):
unable to connect. If you're able to get sports figures involved,
tell me about the difference that you've seen that can make.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Well, it's just like anything in life. Kids look up
to sports figures, you know, they look up to these guys.
And if these guys come in and start telling them
stories about you know, especially those that may have been
somewhat delinquent themselves at a younger age or got into
some trouble and what they learned from that, you know,
they're obviously not hearing that as earlier on a day
to day basis from wherever they're living. And so any
(08:49):
story that these kids can, you know, we just need
one kid to hear one story that makes them think,
you know, maybe I don't need to be doing this,
you know, and the next time I hear this is
going to happen, I'm just going to And that's what
we need to do. You never know who that one
person is going to be, So we got we have
to you know, get a microcosm of society and hope
(09:09):
and the other thing I suggest we do with have
them do some community service during that week. Take them
to areas where they're going to see guys who have
you know, have led you know, not so desirable lifestyles
and what that has you know, where that has led them. Well,
I mean that's where I.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Think, go ahead for me, go go ahead.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
That's good. I was just good. That's where I think
X cons can really help us out.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Well, that's where I was going.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I was going to jump in on you and say, hey,
you know, not only having sports figures, business leaders, political leaders,
whatever it might be, but community service. You know, look
if you were to say to a kid the second
go round and you separated those that have been you know,
apprehended after a second time, a third time, a four time,
because we know Joe Grody at the end of the
(09:53):
day that when they're going before some of these juvenile judges,
they're not doing anything with these kids.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
They're not doing anything to help with these kids.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, they don't have an alternative for a minute where they're
not going to throw them in jail. You know, they're
not going to sentence them, you know, two months in jail.
And they saying, but I think if they had something
like this, and you know, what I'm suggesting is not
to be all on end all this has you know,
we have to work through this. I'd love to hear
all kinds of other people's input, you know, but we
really have to think about who is for this, you know.
(10:26):
And it's the restaurant owners, the business owners, and the
downtown town corridor, the bank's merchants who you know, at
eight thirty on opening day had to close their businesses
because there was so much disruption, you know. And then
it's the people from Greater Cincinnati, northern Kentucky who no
longer come downtown for events because they're afraid, you know,
they hear it in the media, and it's so much
(10:47):
easier for them to go to a restaurant you know,
where they live instead of coming downtown. And I love
coming used to love coming downtown, but I have a
hard time convincing my wife and my grandchildren to come
with us because they hear what's going on. And I'm
not the only one I know, you know. So I
think if we get a you know, a whole group
of business owners and political leaders who want to try
(11:08):
to make a denttlet's let's start talking about this. What
are we going to do to prevent from this will
happen in the future?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
All right, but what about an area where you have
really been deeply involved in for a long time, because
it has always irked me to the very core that
you'll hear community leaders and I don't care if they're black, white, green,
makes no difference to me. They'll talk about, Okay, you know,
we'll try and fix a problem doing this, fix a
(11:37):
problem doing that. I'm all for giving these kids a
chance to do something at night, whether it's going to
some of these dances or some of these rec centers
where it gives them something to do, get them off
the street. They're out of school, maybe they have nothing
going on. But Joe, go to you and I both
know the one thing that is seldomly talked about our
(11:58):
young men who are becoming fathers, fathers biologically becoming fathers,
but they're never becoming fathers. What that's a better way
of playing being a dad. Yeah, And a lot of
these kids they don't have them, and the numbers bear it.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Out right right.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
First of all, what a dad gives is discipline, you know,
and so this is just one way I'm thinking maybe
we can provide some discipline at a later age for
these kids. But there's so much we need to look
at what we can do for kids at a younger age.
I was on a program in Toledo this week talking
about I think I call it Dad's for kids. Where
(12:41):
around the country you see on given times of the
year in schools, theyn't have fifty or sixty dads at
an entrance to a school, glad handing kids, giving them
high fives, maybe given them candy bars, they go into
the classrooms with them. And the reason the principals do
this and the administrators do this, it's the only parental
figure they see in their lives, male print figure they
(13:01):
see in their lives. And so we need to really
foster those kinds of things as well, because if kids
start singing that to say, well, that was really a
cool guy, and you know, maybe if we can build
on that and build on that, we can get some
kids saying that's that's what I want to be when
I get to be that age. I don't want to
be like the dad who I don't know where my
dad is.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
You said, they're doing that Toledo. Do we do anything
like that in Cincinnati? And I know I was on
a show.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I was on a show in Taledo talking about that.
I know that there's three or for instances in Georgia
and Alabama where this has really worked well, where the
principals have these men come on a regular basis. I
could get you some more information about around the country,
but those are some specific ones that I've seen.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
We'll let you and I stay in touch, Joe Grody
and make sure we continue to follow this because if
there's one person out there, one person who fathered a child,
and they're listening right now, and look, you're not pounding
guilt into that person. You're just saying to them, hey,
look you help create this life and it's time now
(14:03):
to make an impact on this life. Then hey, look
our visit. If that something like that happened right here
and right now, we're better for it.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
That's all we can ask for. It's all we can
ask for is one, one guy at a time coming back.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Joe Grody, you're the best. Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
You have been fighting a fight for a long long time.
I thank you for your time this morning, sir.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Thank you Tom Looking forward to the future.

Bloomberg Matt Piper on News Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Here's a name from the past, and many of you
out there old enough to remember Bill Brown. He was
an anchor here on Channel five for a long long
time to the Cincinnati Stingers play by play back in
the mid seventies, and from nineteen seventy six to nineteen
eighty two, Bill Brown was the television voice of the
Cincinnati Reds. He has a new book celebrating the fiftieth
(17:46):
anniversary of the nineteen seventy six baseball season. The Story
of the Cincinnati Reds claiming their second straight World Series title,
Bill Brown, it is a pleasure, my friend. After twenty
one years in the booth, you left, you went to Houston.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
How you doing. What are you doing these days?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Doing? Great? Tom, Great to be talking with you. I've
been enjoying your show this morning. So pleased with your career.
And it's been a good friendship over the years, although
interrupted by years of not seeing each other. So great
to hear your voice. But retire just kind of a
casual baseball fan, a little golf, a little pickle ball,
a few books and narrating a few books and doing
(18:26):
some volunteer work. Just kind of everybody's dream of retirement,
to be honest.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
And you were enshrined into the Texas Baseball Hall of
Fame many many years ago. But you're still living in Houston,
I assume, is that right?
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Yes, sir, we've been here almost forty years now. We
loved our time in Cincinnati also, so it's been a
real trait and a blessing to be able to live
in those two cities.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
All right, talk to me about the book.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
The fiftieth anniversary we're celebrating of the nineteen seventy six
Reds tell me about the book and how you came
to put it together. I'll get to where the proceeds
are going to here in a minute, because that's very,
very wonderful as well. But tell me about the book
and where people can get it.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
It's on Amazon, Tom. We have a paperback, a hardcover,
and an ebook, and the e book is selling well
for a dollar ninety nine. So it's not about making money.
But yes, the foundation, which we'll talk to it in
a little while up in a little while, we'll talk
to that cause for it is important. So I was
(19:29):
last fall thinking, you know, when baseball is over, not
that I watch every pitch of every game. Gee, we
don't have baseball on at night all winter long is
kind of a long winter. You're older, you need to
do a project, keep your mind active. And I was
thinking ahead, well, twenty twenty six is going to be
the fifty year anniversary of the Red seventy six titles,
so that would be fun to go into that. But
(19:52):
there have been so many books written on this already,
so why would you do another one? And I was
a little concerned that there might not be any interest
in it, so I called Marty Brenneman and Hal McCoy
and asked them, Hey, you guys know about the books.
They're on the market already. Would there be any reason
to do another one? They said, yeah, if you could
(20:14):
put a different slant on it, some different experiences, some
different stories. So that's what the effort is. And I
was fortunate to interview several players, not as many as
I wanted, but decided to kind of take it in
a different direction. Tom, Well, let's talk to people who
were with the Astros facing the Reds, like Larry Darker
(20:36):
who pitched Opening Day in Cincinnati in the mid seventies.
And Ron Reid was a great interview. He pitched, you
remember of nineteen years in the majors, he was with
the Phillies, pitched against the Reds in the seventy six playoffs,
and he had some great remembrances of Pete Rose and
their tuffles. And I just thought it was fascinating to
(20:59):
get that fifty year perspective from Johnny Bench and George
Foster looking back now on their careers. A fun, fun experience.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
So just to clarify so people don't come away with
the wrong idea, you do talk to some of the Reds.
I mean, you were the television voice of the Reds
in seventy six, and you talk to Johnny and you
talk to some other people.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Bob housem also.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
With some recollections about how he put together that team.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
And you know.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
What part at the end of the day, if you
were to say to somebody, Hey, if there's one chapter,
if there's another chapter, what would the two or three be?
Where you say, you know what, I guarantee you haven't
read this somewhere.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
A lot of it was on Housam and the development
of the team and the scouts and the way he
selected the scouts, the Geen Bennett's, the Tony Robellos and
how important they were. But I would have to say
there are some insights into the big nineteen seventy one
trade with Houston, involving Morgan, Jack Billingham, Jeronimo and others.
(22:03):
And they're coming from the Houston angle of why were
the Reds able to get this package from Houston? What
was going on? So there's the explanation of what was
happening in the Houston organization at that time and how
persistent Houshm and his scouts were, and some stuff about
(22:25):
Ray Shore recommending Morgan, and I thought it was just
quite fascinating to hear these things.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Name of the book once again if you want to
check it out, and we'll find out again where you
can get it one more time. The Cincinnati Reads of
the nineteen seventies is the name of the book. A
Dynasty for the ages and all the proceeds if I
understand this right, Bill, are going to the Joe Nuxall Foundation.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Yes. I talked to Kim knucks all about it. He
was fine with it. Love what Kim has done, and
the foundation has done some really important work in the community.
And you know, we're sorry we had to abruptly leave
when I was fired, but this is hopefully something that
will help the community.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Well it you to be commended for it and can't
wait to read it. And again one more time, if
people want to find it, they can go to Amazon.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Correct, Yes, sir, that's the only place it's available.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Okay, Bill, great catching up with you man. Thank you
so much for your time today.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Thanks so much, Tom continued success to you.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Bill brown Boy, what a great guy, great announcer, great
guy left here and and did quite well for himself.
The kind of the voice of the Houston Astros for
twenty one years.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Chuck Ingram, you're old enough to remember Bill Brown, I am, indeed.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
Yeah, that was my glory years of like seventy five
and seventy six.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
You were glued oh every night.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah, well not every night on TV because back then
they were only doing about fifty games a year, right.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
I mean you're bringing you're bringing up vivid memory a
not home was sitting on the porch with the transistor.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Yeah, that was the way Dad and I did it.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
You know, that's something that a lot of younger people
they have no idea that that is what it used
to be. Most teams outside of the Cubs talked about
Ted Turner yesterday and the Atlanta Braves and then war
in New York they were three superstations. They televised every
game of the Cubs, Braves, Mets, but every other major
(24:28):
League city was only doing about fifty or fifty five
games on TV. Or think about that now compared to
that part of.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Believe in it, right, I mean, Saturday Baseball was a
big eie oh big deal.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Joe Garagiola to make back in those days in DC.
Then Scully, Yeah, Saturday Game of the week. That was
sort of stuff, and the Reds were seemingly on there
all the time because they were really good. Yes, it
was quiet pretty much all day. Same deal at eight
forty seven. Unfortunately, no things have turned sour. Northbound seventy

Good news there.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
There's an accident at the Reagan Highway, but they're on
the right shoulder and out of the way. Chucking from
news radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Beautiful day out there and more the same today and tomorrow.
Sunshine seventy Today, sunshine seventy three, tomorrow Mother's Day morning,
looking good, looking, dry, could get some rain late in
the day high of seventy We'll visit with Beer Dave
next day forty eight seven undred WLW.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
All right, lots, you get two with our buddy day.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
If you like having a cold beer, then this is
the segment for you each and every Friday here on
the Morning Show. All right, let's start Beer Dave. Good morning,
my friends. Street Side Brewing. It seems like they have
something going on every single weekend.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Yeah, they really do.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
They do a lot for the community, and they do
a lot of collaborations. And there's a brewery called Upside
up near Toledo when they've done a collaboration with them
called the Better Beer Initiative. But more importantly today is
they're celebrating guys named Steve. So if your name's Steve,
you need to get the Street Side today.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
You get a free beer on of that deal, or what.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
You get at least a dollar off on every pint.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Okay, well, nothing wrong with that, Nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Meanwhile, speaking of conjunction getting together, Saunder Brewing has created
a lemon and basil light lagger with pump Pillios, very
famous restaurant of course down there in Newport.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Yeah, this is.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
Really kind of cool. It's a it's a lemon and
basil light logger, so it's meant to work with a
lot of the Italian cooking and various foods in that.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
And it's called.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
That's lamone, so kind of kind of fun. So if
you get a chance to get down upon Pilios and
give this a try, it sounds like it's going to
be a really good combination with their food.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
That big construction site over in hebron Kentucky, it's called
the Bend. It's a brand new sports complex. Those are
going up everywhere. I would imagine there was a lot
of back and forth or maybe still some back and
forth people trying to get in there as their craft brewery.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Is that about right correct?
Speaker 8 (27:37):
Yeah, they're still they're still doing some some evaluation of
various partners in that because they'd like to put a
brewery in with this, because this could mimic sort of
like what fifty West has or Little Miami and that
sort of in a nature setting. But it's gonna have
h turf soccer fields, plus it'll have some indoor soccer
practice and stuff like that. There's nothing like this in
(27:59):
north of Kata. He currently accepted Wilder and the people
in Booon County are kind of desperate for something like this,
so it should be a great combination.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Well, I tell you what, if anybody's ever been to
those and I used to have a travel regularly for
lacrosse with our son. I mean, you get to those
places and you talk about selling beer. A lot of
those places you can't buy a beer. That is not
going to be the case at the Bend in hebron Kentucky.
All right, talk about Tony Day on Saturday. What's this
all about?
Speaker 8 (28:26):
So Wandering Monsters has partnered with the Chicago craftburry Hop
Butcher to make some beers collaborate, but they also are
bringing in some Hop Butcher beers and then they're gonna
do a Coney Day and they'll have a bounce house
and you know, I mean nothing says Cincinnati like some
Coney islands.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Well, you're right about that, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Also on Saturday, a big event going on at the
Sam Adams tap Room.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
What is that?
Speaker 8 (28:55):
So they have come up with a beer called the
Queen City Crown and it's spiced with honey and this
celebrates five to one three Day, which is coming up
next week. But since it's the middle of the week,
they're going to go ahead and celebrate it on Saturday.
And they're also going to have a market, so sort
of a pop up little market where you can pop around.
(29:17):
And this is I mean a block away from Finley Market,
so you could tie a visit to Philly Market in
with this as well.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Tomorrow, well that's great idea, and tomorrow the weather's supposed
to be sunny in seventy three degrees. All right, Now
we get to Mother's Day Sunday, and a couple of
spots seem like mighty good thinking here. Let's start at
barley Corn's brew House.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
So these are the guys down there and Wilder, and
they've had a brunch most every Sunday since they open,
and they've really perfected it. And from nine to three
they've got a nice Mother's Day spread set up and
they do request that you look to maybe make reservations
because they are expecting the crowd.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Okay, And again that is barley Corn's brew House. And
then lastly, this is one of the best ideas I've
ever heard. Tell me about Botchy Brewing over in Wyoming.
What they have going on now, this is big time.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Yeah, so a couple of times a year they partnered
with Ron's Roost and basically they do a pop up
carry out scenario. So you know, nobody wants to make
mom cook on Mother's Day. You know, you don't get
you don't get her an irony burden. You don't make
a cook. So you know, you take her, you take
her out for dinner. Or here's a case where you
(30:33):
know you can go here to Ron's Roost do the
carry out. It's fried chicken, it's a couple of sides,
and mom doesn't have to cook. You can, you know,
take mom somewhere and have a chicken picnic if you want,
because the waiter's going to be pretty nice on Mother's Day.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Yeah. What do you got going on this weekend? Anything happening?
Speaker 8 (30:52):
I'm going to be in Knoxville, Tennessee. I'm going down
for a memorabilia show and to visit some brewery's down there.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Is that a big brewing town? I mean it's a
growing town, but is that a big brewery town.
Speaker 8 (31:06):
There's about a dozen of them. There's one that wins
a bunch of awards called zool x Ul, which is
really a nice I'm looking forward to another visit there
when I get into town later today. But like you,
I've already said goodbye to my mother, so I'm not
tied into Mother's Day anymore. But I'll be thinking over,
that's for sure, and I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
You will be Amen to that. Amen to that. Sorry
for your loss as well, Dear Dave.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
I hope you have a great weekend save travels down
to the volunteer state. My friend, God bless you.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
Thanks Tom.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
All right, we're back with you Monday morning.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Good Lord, willing get out there, get it to a
local rescue, pick up a dog or a cat, bring
it home. Be lots of love in your house. Nine hundred.
That would be nine o'clock on the Home of the
Red seven hundred W.

Money.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
It's not hard to make money, you just have to
pay attention. This is the Bloomberg Money Minute on seven
hundred WLWA, and we say.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Good morning to Matt Piper from the Bloomberg newsroom in
New York City. There's been a big cyber attack affecting
thousands of colleges across America as well as students and
all this leading up to graduation.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
That's right, it's actually not only happening here, this is worldwide.
So colleges from the US to Australia reported disruptions overnight
to the Canvas online learning portal after a cyber attack
against its operator that's called Infrastructure Inc. Now, some colleges
warned that student information might have been accessed as part
of this hack, including names, email addresses, and messages sent
(00:43):
through the system. Opportunistic hackers have for years found schools
to be easy targets, but universities have been especially hit
hard in recent months.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Meanwhile, go figure this one. We could soon see Apple
air pods with cameras, all having to do with AI
of course, so Apple says it's reached late stages of
development for new air pods with these built in cameras.
It will be the first wearable device designed for the
(01:13):
artificial intelligence era. Now, the earbuds feature cameras that essentially
act as eyes for the Serie Digital assistant, allowing the
device to capture visual information in low resolution and provide
that info to the user as they're wearing them. Okay, okay,
futures this morning, Yeah, looking into futures like those AI cameras.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
So down.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Futures right now are up one hundred and seventy four points.
As in p futures up thirty seven and as that
future is doing the best of all three up two
hundred eleven points right now from Bloomberg. Matt Piper on
News radio seven hundred wlw ah.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
You know I talk all the time about animal rescue
and that kind of thing and big fan of it,
given animals a second chance.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Well today you can get a two for one.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
You can get a great lunch at Citi Bird or
at dinner that's at one one three oh nine Montgomery Road.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
And if you mentioned Frankie's Furry Friends, this is an
animal rescue over in Alexandria, Kentucky. They do a phenomenal job.
Frankie's Furry Friends. If you mention them at Citybird today
between eleven o'clock this morning and nine o'clock tonight. Frankie's
(02:25):
Furry Friends will get a percentage of that money. They're
all volunteers. No one's making any money over there. All
foster homes, so the dogs have a wonderful, loving environment
while they're looking for their forever home. And uh, if
you want more information on them, just go to Frankie's
(02:47):
that's fr A n k I E S. Furry Friends
dot Rescue groups dot org. We wish them well. That's
going on at City Bird today up on Montgomery Road.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Good luck, good luck. All right.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Last week you may remember that the city came out
again our city quote unquote leaders about summer programs that
are designed to reduce summer violence and keep youth teenagers
safe in Cincinnati, and they're expanding that in twenty twenty six.
They're calling it Summer in the City. It's a program
(03:25):
which provides activities for kids when they get out of school, intending,
of course, to prevent the spike in gun violence we
typically see during the warmer months. Now, look, we know
that shootings are up in the town, not necessarily teen shootings,
but we remember a couple of events last year or
within the last year. We had the situation up in
(03:47):
Blue ash where three four five hundred kids come out
of nowhere and next thing you know, people are running around,
shots are being fired. Thought it was shots being fired,
turns out to be fireworks, and then the disaster on
opening day. Now, Joe Grody has been on the program
before and has been doing work in trying primarily, Joe,
(04:09):
you correct me if I'm wrong, primarily getting to the
true core of this problem with so many teenagers in
the inner city, and that is not having a dad around.
And you have worked countlessly hours for decades in trying
to get young men to become better dads, which trickle
(04:31):
down into you know, making better kids. And look, I
know you don't have all the answers. You don't you know,
say you have all the answers, but you think that
there's there's more that we should be doing besides just
some of these kinds of things.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Is that fair to say?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
That's that's correct? Com You know, I just think that
we don't look at the.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
After effect, the after effect.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
What do we do with these kids after they disrupt
things at Summit Park? What do we do after they
disrupt things on opening day. And you know, everything we
try to do is preventative, which is great, there's nothing
wrong with that, and there's some phenomenal programs out there.
But we see these same kids perpetrating these offenses, and
they're giving a slap on the wrist, you know. They
(05:19):
take them down to city Hall, and they take them
down to the courthouse wherever they book them, and they
let them go. And I think there needs to be
more done, and I have some ideas along those lines.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Well, let's talk about some of those, because you know,
whether it's gangs of these youth that are looking in
a moment's notice. Because of social media now they can
just show up somewhere, and as you mentioned, you know,
in some cases, there was a story that came out
about they have these areas where they'll take these kids,
and they're not taking any of the kids there. And
(05:50):
let's start with the fact that it seems like we're
throwing a lot of this on our police to do
this stuff instead of the actual parents or some other
avenues which we'll get to in a minute, But the
police are the ones that are really being burdened with
this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
They sure are. You know, they keep saying they're overburdened,
and I don't think they're making that up, you know,
and we don't have enough of them, which is a
whole another story. But you know, we have to make
it easier on the police and city leaders to have
something in their back pocket to say, look, guys, we
told you so. And these are the percussions all.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I want to talk about. Let's just say, for an example,
something that you would like to see done. And I
know and I said it a minute ago, but I
just want to say it again. This is not necessarily
a finished product some of these things that you've been
brainstorming for years and years, but you've been right in
the very heart of it, fighting it right to its
very core. Let's say a juvenile a young adult is
(06:49):
arrested for disorderly conduct. What should happen in your opinion
that we ought to be trying to expand upon or
look into a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Well, first of all, I think first offenses should be
looked at, and uh, you know, maybe the slap on
the wrist is all you need, because some kids just
beat the have you know, you know, what's scared out
of them one time and they might not come back.
But for the repeat offenders, I think we need to
do something and tell them, look, you, if you have
done this at two and three times, we're gonna hold
you for a week, you know, and we're gonna do
(07:23):
We're gonna have programs available to you. We're gonna x
X cons coaches, sports figures, you know, chosen speakers from
around the area who are going to try to put
a little bit of wisdom on these kids because obviously
they're not getting the wisdom that they need in their
day to day life. And hopefully by sitting them down,
you know, for a week and saying, hey, you know,
maybe what I did was wrong, because now I don't
(07:45):
just get off with the slap on the wrist. You know,
even if they don't listen to a word that said,
sitting on their rear end for a week might get
them to think, maybe this is the behavior I don't
really need to have.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
When you when you talk about howving different speakers come
down there, and you know as well as I do,
and really this has been true for a number of
years now. It may not have been when you and
I were growing up, but it seems like you know,
a guy like you, a guy like me. Uh, it
could be a political leader, it could be a business leader.
They can talk to these kids, but but maybe we're
(08:18):
unable to connect. If you're able to get sports figures involved,
tell me about the difference that you've seen that can make.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Well, it's just like anything in life. Kids look up
to sports figures, you know, they look up to these guys.
And if these guys come in and start telling them
stories about you know, especially those that may have been
somewhat delinquent themselves at a younger age or got into
some trouble and what they learned from that, you know,
they're obviously not hearing that as earlier on a day
to day basis from wherever they're living. And so any
(08:49):
story that these kids can, you know, we just need
one kid to hear one story that makes them think,
you know, maybe I don't need to be doing this,
you know, and the next time I hear this is
going to happen, I'm just going to And that's what
we need to do. You never know who that one
person is going to be, So we got we have
to you know, get a microcosm of society and hope
(09:09):
and the other thing I suggest we do with have
them do some community service during that week. Take them
to areas where they're going to see guys who have
you know, have led you know, not so desirable lifestyles
and what that has you know, where that has led them. Well,
I mean that's where I.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Think, go ahead for me, go go ahead.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
That's good. I was just good. That's where I think
X cons can really help us out.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Well, that's where I was going.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I was going to jump in on you and say, hey,
you know, not only having sports figures, business leaders, political leaders,
whatever it might be, but community service. You know, look
if you were to say to a kid the second
go round and you separated those that have been you know,
apprehended after a second time, a third time, a four time,
because we know Joe Grody at the end of the
(09:53):
day that when they're going before some of these juvenile judges,
they're not doing anything with these kids.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
They're not doing anything to help with these kids.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, they don't have an alternative for a minute where they're
not going to throw them in jail. You know, they're
not going to sentence them, you know, two months in jail.
And they saying, but I think if they had something
like this, and you know, what I'm suggesting is not
to be all on end all this has you know,
we have to work through this. I'd love to hear
all kinds of other people's input, you know, but we
really have to think about who is for this, you know.
(10:26):
And it's the restaurant owners, the business owners, and the
downtown town corridor, the bank's merchants who you know, at
eight thirty on opening day had to close their businesses
because there was so much disruption, you know. And then
it's the people from Greater Cincinnati, northern Kentucky who no
longer come downtown for events because they're afraid, you know,
they hear it in the media, and it's so much
(10:47):
easier for them to go to a restaurant you know,
where they live instead of coming downtown. And I love
coming used to love coming downtown, but I have a
hard time convincing my wife and my grandchildren to come
with us because they hear what's going on. And I'm
not the only one I know, you know. So I
think if we get a you know, a whole group
of business owners and political leaders who want to try
(11:08):
to make a denttlet's let's start talking about this. What
are we going to do to prevent from this will
happen in the future?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
All right, but what about an area where you have
really been deeply involved in for a long time, because
it has always irked me to the very core that
you'll hear community leaders and I don't care if they're black, white, green,
makes no difference to me. They'll talk about, Okay, you know,
we'll try and fix a problem doing this, fix a
(11:37):
problem doing that. I'm all for giving these kids a
chance to do something at night, whether it's going to
some of these dances or some of these rec centers
where it gives them something to do, get them off
the street. They're out of school, maybe they have nothing
going on. But Joe, go to you and I both
know the one thing that is seldomly talked about our
(11:58):
young men who are becoming fathers, fathers biologically becoming fathers,
but they're never becoming fathers. What that's a better way
of playing being a dad. Yeah, And a lot of
these kids they don't have them, and the numbers bear it.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Out right right.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
First of all, what a dad gives is discipline, you know,
and so this is just one way I'm thinking maybe
we can provide some discipline at a later age for
these kids. But there's so much we need to look
at what we can do for kids at a younger age.
I was on a program in Toledo this week talking
about I think I call it Dad's for kids. Where
(12:41):
around the country you see on given times of the
year in schools, theyn't have fifty or sixty dads at
an entrance to a school, glad handing kids, giving them
high fives, maybe given them candy bars, they go into
the classrooms with them. And the reason the principals do
this and the administrators do this, it's the only parental
figure they see in their lives, male print figure they
(13:01):
see in their lives. And so we need to really
foster those kinds of things as well, because if kids
start singing that to say, well, that was really a
cool guy, and you know, maybe if we can build
on that and build on that, we can get some
kids saying that's that's what I want to be when
I get to be that age. I don't want to
be like the dad who I don't know where my
dad is.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
You said, they're doing that Toledo. Do we do anything
like that in Cincinnati? And I know I was on
a show.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I was on a show in Taledo talking about that.
I know that there's three or for instances in Georgia
and Alabama where this has really worked well, where the
principals have these men come on a regular basis. I
could get you some more information about around the country,
but those are some specific ones that I've seen.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
We'll let you and I stay in touch, Joe Grody
and make sure we continue to follow this because if
there's one person out there, one person who fathered a child,
and they're listening right now, and look, you're not pounding
guilt into that person. You're just saying to them, hey,
look you help create this life and it's time now
(14:03):
to make an impact on this life. Then hey, look
our visit. If that something like that happened right here
and right now, we're better for it.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
That's all we can ask for. It's all we can
ask for is one, one guy at a time coming back.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Joe Grody, you're the best. Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
You have been fighting a fight for a long long time.

Here's a name from the past, and many of you
out there old enough to remember Bill Brown. He was
an anchor here on Channel five for a long long
time to the Cincinnati Stingers play by play back in
the mid seventies, and from nineteen seventy six to nineteen
eighty two, Bill Brown was the television voice of the
Cincinnati Reds. He has a new book celebrating the fiftieth
(17:46):
anniversary of the nineteen seventy six baseball season. The Story
of the Cincinnati Reds claiming their second straight World Series title,
Bill Brown, it is a pleasure, my friend. After twenty
one years in the booth, you left, you went to Houston.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
How you doing. What are you doing these days?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Doing? Great? Tom, Great to be talking with you. I've
been enjoying your show this morning. So pleased with your career.
And it's been a good friendship over the years, although
interrupted by years of not seeing each other. So great
to hear your voice. But retire just kind of a
casual baseball fan, a little golf, a little pickle ball,
a few books and narrating a few books and doing
(18:26):
some volunteer work. Just kind of everybody's dream of retirement,
to be honest.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
And you were enshrined into the Texas Baseball Hall of
Fame many many years ago. But you're still living in Houston,
I assume, is that right?
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Yes, sir, we've been here almost forty years now. We
loved our time in Cincinnati also, so it's been a
real trait and a blessing to be able to live
in those two cities.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
All right, talk to me about the book.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
The fiftieth anniversary we're celebrating of the nineteen seventy six
Reds tell me about the book and how you came
to put it together. I'll get to where the proceeds
are going to here in a minute, because that's very,
very wonderful as well. But tell me about the book
and where people can get it.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
It's on Amazon, Tom. We have a paperback, a hardcover,
and an ebook, and the e book is selling well
for a dollar ninety nine. So it's not about making money.
But yes, the foundation, which we'll talk to it in
a little while up in a little while, we'll talk
to that cause for it is important. So I was
(19:29):
last fall thinking, you know, when baseball is over, not
that I watch every pitch of every game. Gee, we
don't have baseball on at night all winter long is
kind of a long winter. You're older, you need to
do a project, keep your mind active. And I was
thinking ahead, well, twenty twenty six is going to be
the fifty year anniversary of the Red seventy six titles,
so that would be fun to go into that. But
(19:52):
there have been so many books written on this already,
so why would you do another one? And I was
a little concerned that there might not be any interest
in it, so I called Marty Brenneman and Hal McCoy
and asked them, Hey, you guys know about the books.
They're on the market already. Would there be any reason
to do another one? They said, yeah, if you could
(20:14):
put a different slant on it, some different experiences, some
different stories. So that's what the effort is. And I
was fortunate to interview several players, not as many as
I wanted, but decided to kind of take it in
a different direction. Tom, Well, let's talk to people who
were with the Astros facing the Reds, like Larry Darker
(20:36):
who pitched Opening Day in Cincinnati in the mid seventies.
And Ron Reid was a great interview. He pitched, you
remember of nineteen years in the majors, he was with
the Phillies, pitched against the Reds in the seventy six playoffs,
and he had some great remembrances of Pete Rose and
their tuffles. And I just thought it was fascinating to
(20:59):
get that fifty year perspective from Johnny Bench and George
Foster looking back now on their careers. A fun, fun experience.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
So just to clarify so people don't come away with
the wrong idea, you do talk to some of the Reds.
I mean, you were the television voice of the Reds
in seventy six, and you talk to Johnny and you
talk to some other people.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Bob housem also.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
With some recollections about how he put together that team.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
And you know.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
What part at the end of the day, if you
were to say to somebody, Hey, if there's one chapter,
if there's another chapter, what would the two or three be?
Where you say, you know what, I guarantee you haven't
read this somewhere.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
A lot of it was on Housam and the development
of the team and the scouts and the way he
selected the scouts, the Geen Bennett's, the Tony Robellos and
how important they were. But I would have to say
there are some insights into the big nineteen seventy one
trade with Houston, involving Morgan, Jack Billingham, Jeronimo and others.
(22:03):
And they're coming from the Houston angle of why were
the Reds able to get this package from Houston? What
was going on? So there's the explanation of what was
happening in the Houston organization at that time and how
persistent Houshm and his scouts were, and some stuff about
(22:25):
Ray Shore recommending Morgan, and I thought it was just
quite fascinating to hear these things.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Name of the book once again if you want to
check it out, and we'll find out again where you
can get it one more time. The Cincinnati Reads of
the nineteen seventies is the name of the book. A
Dynasty for the ages and all the proceeds if I
understand this right, Bill, are going to the Joe Nuxall Foundation.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Yes. I talked to Kim knucks all about it. He
was fine with it. Love what Kim has done, and
the foundation has done some really important work in the community.
And you know, we're sorry we had to abruptly leave
when I was fired, but this is hopefully something that
will help the community.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Well it you to be commended for it and can't
wait to read it. And again one more time, if
people want to find it, they can go to Amazon.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Correct, Yes, sir, that's the only place it's available.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Okay, Bill, great catching up with you man. Thank you
so much for your time today.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Thanks so much, Tom continued success to you.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Bill brown Boy, what a great guy, great announcer, great
guy left here and and did quite well for himself.
The kind of the voice of the Houston Astros for
twenty one years.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Chuck Ingram, you're old enough to remember Bill Brown, I am, indeed.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
Yeah, that was my glory years of like seventy five
and seventy six.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
You were glued oh every night.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah, well not every night on TV because back then
they were only doing about fifty games a year, right.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
I mean you're bringing you're bringing up vivid memory a
not home was sitting on the porch with the transistor.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Yeah, that was the way Dad and I did it.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
You know, that's something that a lot of younger people
they have no idea that that is what it used
to be. Most teams outside of the Cubs talked about
Ted Turner yesterday and the Atlanta Braves and then war
in New York they were three superstations. They televised every
game of the Cubs, Braves, Mets, but every other major
(24:28):
League city was only doing about fifty or fifty five
games on TV. Or think about that now compared to
that part of.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Believe in it, right, I mean, Saturday Baseball was a
big eie oh big deal.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Joe Garagiola to make back in those days in DC.
Then Scully, Yeah, Saturday Game of the week. That was
sort of stuff, and the Reds were seemingly on there
all the time because they were really good. Yes, it
was quiet pretty much all day. Same deal at eight
forty seven. Unfortunately, no things have turned sour. Northbound seventy

Speaker 7 (25:12):
There's an accident just before you get to twelfth Street,
and emergency crews now have everything but the left lane
blocked off single filed and got by. That's backing traffic
up to Buttermilk and at last check you're over a
half hour delay out of er Linger into downtown and
growing southbound seventy five.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
Good news there.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
There's an accident at the Reagan Highway, but they're on
the right shoulder and out of the way. Chucking from
news radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Beautiful day out there and more the same today and tomorrow.
Sunshine seventy Today, sunshine seventy three, tomorrow Mother's Day morning,
looking good, looking, dry, could get some rain late in
the day high of seventy We'll visit with Beer Dave
next day forty eight seven undred WLW.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
All right, lots, you get two with our buddy day.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
If you like having a cold beer, then this is
the segment for you each and every Friday here on
the Morning Show. All right, let's start Beer Dave. Good morning,
my friends. Street Side Brewing. It seems like they have
something going on every single weekend.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Yeah, they really do.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
They do a lot for the community, and they do
a lot of collaborations. And there's a brewery called Upside
up near Toledo when they've done a collaboration with them
called the Better Beer Initiative. But more importantly today is
they're celebrating guys named Steve. So if your name's Steve,
you need to get the Street Side today.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
You get a free beer on of that deal, or what.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
You get at least a dollar off on every pint.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Okay, well, nothing wrong with that, Nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Meanwhile, speaking of conjunction getting together, Saunder Brewing has created
a lemon and basil light lagger with pump Pillios, very
famous restaurant of course down there in Newport.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Yeah, this is.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
Really kind of cool. It's a it's a lemon and
basil light logger, so it's meant to work with a
lot of the Italian cooking and various foods in that.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
And it's called.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
That's lamone, so kind of kind of fun. So if
you get a chance to get down upon Pilios and
give this a try, it sounds like it's going to
be a really good combination with their food.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
That big construction site over in hebron Kentucky, it's called
the Bend. It's a brand new sports complex. Those are
going up everywhere. I would imagine there was a lot
of back and forth or maybe still some back and
forth people trying to get in there as their craft brewery.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Is that about right correct?
Speaker 8 (27:37):
Yeah, they're still they're still doing some some evaluation of
various partners in that because they'd like to put a
brewery in with this, because this could mimic sort of
like what fifty West has or Little Miami and that
sort of in a nature setting. But it's gonna have
h turf soccer fields, plus it'll have some indoor soccer
practice and stuff like that. There's nothing like this in
(27:59):
north of Kata. He currently accepted Wilder and the people
in Booon County are kind of desperate for something like this,
so it should be a great combination.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Well, I tell you what, if anybody's ever been to
those and I used to have a travel regularly for
lacrosse with our son. I mean, you get to those
places and you talk about selling beer. A lot of
those places you can't buy a beer. That is not
going to be the case at the Bend in hebron Kentucky.
All right, talk about Tony Day on Saturday. What's this
all about?
Speaker 8 (28:26):
So Wandering Monsters has partnered with the Chicago craftburry Hop
Butcher to make some beers collaborate, but they also are
bringing in some Hop Butcher beers and then they're gonna
do a Coney Day and they'll have a bounce house
and you know, I mean nothing says Cincinnati like some
Coney islands.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Well, you're right about that, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Also on Saturday, a big event going on at the
Sam Adams tap Room.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
What is that?
Speaker 8 (28:55):
So they have come up with a beer called the
Queen City Crown and it's spiced with honey and this
celebrates five to one three Day, which is coming up
next week. But since it's the middle of the week,
they're going to go ahead and celebrate it on Saturday.
And they're also going to have a market, so sort
of a pop up little market where you can pop around.
(29:17):
And this is I mean a block away from Finley Market,
so you could tie a visit to Philly Market in
with this as well.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Tomorrow, well that's great idea, and tomorrow the weather's supposed
to be sunny in seventy three degrees. All right, Now
we get to Mother's Day Sunday, and a couple of
spots seem like mighty good thinking here. Let's start at
barley Corn's brew House.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
So these are the guys down there and Wilder, and
they've had a brunch most every Sunday since they open,
and they've really perfected it. And from nine to three
they've got a nice Mother's Day spread set up and
they do request that you look to maybe make reservations
because they are expecting the crowd.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Okay, And again that is barley Corn's brew House. And
then lastly, this is one of the best ideas I've
ever heard. Tell me about Botchy Brewing over in Wyoming.
What they have going on now, this is big time.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Yeah, so a couple of times a year they partnered
with Ron's Roost and basically they do a pop up
carry out scenario. So you know, nobody wants to make
mom cook on Mother's Day. You know, you don't get
you don't get her an irony burden. You don't make
a cook. So you know, you take her, you take
her out for dinner. Or here's a case where you
(30:33):
know you can go here to Ron's Roost do the
carry out. It's fried chicken, it's a couple of sides,
and mom doesn't have to cook. You can, you know,
take mom somewhere and have a chicken picnic if you want,
because the waiter's going to be pretty nice on Mother's Day.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Yeah. What do you got going on this weekend? Anything happening?
Speaker 8 (30:52):
I'm going to be in Knoxville, Tennessee. I'm going down
for a memorabilia show and to visit some brewery's down there.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Is that a big brewing town? I mean it's a
growing town, but is that a big brewery town.
Speaker 8 (31:06):
There's about a dozen of them. There's one that wins
a bunch of awards called zool x Ul, which is
really a nice I'm looking forward to another visit there
when I get into town later today. But like you,
I've already said goodbye to my mother, so I'm not
tied into Mother's Day anymore. But I'll be thinking over,
that's for sure, and I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
You will be Amen to that. Amen to that. Sorry
for your loss as well, Dear Dave.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
I hope you have a great weekend save travels down
to the volunteer state. My friend, God bless you.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
Thanks Tom.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
All right, we're back with you Monday morning.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Good Lord, willing get out there, get it to a
local rescue, pick up a dog or a cat, bring
it home. Be lots of love in your house. Nine hundred.
That would be nine o'clock on the Home of the
Red seven hundred W.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
