Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Glenn. You need to know she's got you. It's three
things with TIF Well, good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hey, I think there's an accident on the southbound side
of the Brent Spence Bridge. If you're starting to tap
the brakes, my guy Chuck is going to look at
that for you here in just a few minutes. Give
me a hot second. Okay, we're just before seven o'clock
on this Monday. Right now, we're in the forties, but
eventually we'll tip into the fifties with a mix of
sun and clouds over the next couple of days. This
is not the radio station to go to if you

(00:30):
want weather for opening Day.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
I refuse to look.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
I'm very superstitious about the weather before we go anywhere.
The biggest story yesterday bleeding into today is the fact
that head coach Sean Miller of Xavier University is departing
after just three years with us.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
It's over in very very disappointing, and yet very proud
of what we were.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Able to do, John Miller.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
This passed Friday, after Xavier's first round loss in the
NCAA Tournaments. Illinoi's reports surface Sunday that Miller would be
departing for the head coaching job at Texas, this after
earlier reports that Texas fired head coach Rodney Terry.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
So if you're like, catch me up to speed here,
that's my guy, Sean Gallagher.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
By the way, from seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Sean coached here, left, came back three years, beat Texas
in the first round that we had talked about last week,
Texas fired their head coach. He's going to replace them,
So who's coming to us? Seems like we're getting some
potential old blood again. Chris Mack, who is currently coaching
Charles Town but did coach for US a while ago.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
I'm like, oh, should we get some new blood?

Speaker 2 (01:35):
I don't know much about coaching in the basketball world
for you know, college sports. I can't pretend to know
any of that, but I'm like, should we get someone now?
Like what's going on here? When there's more in that one,
I'll have it for you. Also in basketball, just quickly,
I forgot to mention that Kentucky beat Illinois and they're
making their first Sweet sixteen appearance since twenty nineteen. All right, second,

(01:57):
and three things you need to know this morning are
to an icon, we lost a legend over the weekend.
George Foreman passed away peacefully in his home.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
His family put out a statement saying, our hearts are broken.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Our devout preacher, a devoted husband, a loving father, and
a proud granddad and a grandfather. He lived a life
marked by unwavering faith, humility and purpose.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I mean just some of the George Foreman's stats.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Eighty one total fights, seventy six wins, and sixty eight
of those wins were by knockout. And then, probably more
iconically in the family world, is the George Foreman grill.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Now you and your family can enjoy the tender, juicy,
and delicious taste of grilled foods in just minutes.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Tell me you didn't have one of those at your house.
You remember that tray underneath that collected all the fat.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Oh my god, it was like a staple.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
By the way, here's George Foreman talking about how that
grill even came to play.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Mean fat reducing grilla machine. And I've become the dawling
of Madison Avenue. I did everything, dough ritos, pephicola, McDonald's
commercials everywhere. And then her friend approached me. He said,
Joe At, you're making all these other people rich. Why
don't you get your own product? So we started this
joint venture, all right, and this little ugly thing, I said,
I don't know, and my wife used it on the side.

(03:16):
I didn't even know it was there.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
The wife. It's always the woman, by the way.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Later on that clip, he talked about how his checks
for that grill were coming in by the millions, five
million dollars.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Like at a time were the royalty checks from that thing? Who? All? Right?

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Then? Lastly, Rip two A legend, lastly and three things
you need to know. This morning on Friday, I played
a clip of a new song from Jack Harlow and
Doja catt. I'll see if I can find it for
you here while we're chatting.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
I loved it.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
I listened to it over and over and over through
the weekend, and I realized that Jack has now given
us maybe three or four singles off of his album,
off of just in this New Year, and none of
them have been at attached to an album. And here's
why he was with Zane Low over the weekend.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
It's in process. You know, I'm trying to I'm trying
to transcend, you know. I want to do something I've
never done. And I'm just slowly starting to accept that
maybe it's going to take me longer than any of
my past projects. If I want it to be like
nothing I've ever done, maybe it'll take longer than things
I have done.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
I really really liked that song.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
If you haven't had a chance to listen to it,
I'm going to see if I can pull it up
for you now. But if you don't have time, I
totally get that. Yeah, when there's more on that one,
I'll have it for you, all right. That is three
things you need to know to get your day started.
