Speaker 1 (00:00):
A smell that fresh money news is being served. This
is the Bloomberg Money Minute on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Right directors with us this morning. We got another report here.
Let's talk about Tesla this start. Their sales outlook darkens
despite Musk's self driving euphoria. That's right, Steve.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Tesla's expected to report today that it delivered just under
four hundred and forty one thousand vehicles in the fourth quarter.
That's down eleven percent from last year, according to data
compiled by Bloomberg and Tesla ended last year on a roll,
with investors increasingly buying into elon Musk's excitement over autonomous vehicles,
But winning over actual car buyers is another story.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, okay, we got gold, silver, platinum. They've all been surging.
But now the price of aluminum is going up.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah. Aluminums climbed above three thousand dollars a ton for
the first time in more than three years on tightening
supply outlook and long term demand bets. A cap on
Chinese smelting capacity and constraints to European production due to
higher electricity prices have chipped away at global inventories, while
the demand outlook from the construction and renewable sectors remain robust. Copper, nickel,
(01:12):
and iron ore futures also seeing gains, with copper resuming
its gains as well.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
So that's what that looks like.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Okay, less than ninety minutes to open. We haven't been
opening the stock market since Wednesday, New Year's Eve.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
What are you seeing right now?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Well, it looks like market future is pointing to a
higher open right now. Dow futures up one hundred and
eighty two points, NASTAC futures up two forty five, SMP
futures up thirty nine from Bloomberg. Erica Herschowitz on news
radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Already, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Eight eleven on seven hundred WLW, Steve Hawkins in for
Tom Brenneman. We get to talk to Matt Rausch on Fridays. Hey, Matt,
how are.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
You pretty good? Happy to be here?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, I hope you had a great New Year and
stayed up till midnight partying.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
That's I certainly had a very fun night.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Yes, I did that to night that I stay away
from the TV, although there's a lot of great TV
that's happening. And Diana Ross ringing in the new Year
on ABC, which would have been a lot of fun.
But no, the night that I do some very New
Yorky things here, but I stay far away from Times Square.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
If I can possibly do it, you.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Have to, all right, let's kick it off.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Fox is wasting no time to get the shows on
the air this week, right.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Yeah, including one that's going to be a lot of
very familiar to people who have seen a show, a
long running British show on that was syndicated to PBS stations.
The show they're titling Best Medicine, which premieres on Sunday.
It basically is an American version of a show called
Doc Martin that has run for like ten years, and
many people who've.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Watched this show, it's one of those sort of.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Cozy medical dramas with a lot of comedy in it.
But the show is about this doctor and the doctor's
name is Martin Best, and it's played by Josh Charles.
And Josh Charles is a very familiar TV face. He's
been in shows like The Good Wife and The Handmaid's
Tale all the way back to Sports Night as an
early Aaron Sorkin show. But he plays this guy Uh.
But he doesn't like to be called Doc Martin for
(03:07):
obvious reasons, because he don't want to say that this
is not Doc Martin. This is a show called Best Medicine.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
But the idea here is.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
That he is relocated from the big city of Boston
into a small town in Maine. He becomes the small
town's doctor. And the reason he had to leave the
big practice is because he has developed some very bizarre
and you'll find out later why, a diversion to blood.
So when he sees blood, he gets really kind of shaken,
which is not good for a doctor, I imagine. But but
but the idea is that he is also this not
(03:35):
He's not a people person, so to for him to
become the town doctor is an odd fit for him.
He does, and as he gets close to this town
with all these quirky people, he'll he'll soften up and
they'll get to like him.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
But it takes a while. But the series begins on
on on on.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Sunday on Fox, and uh, and so the people who
have watched Doc Martin over the years, Uh, they're going
to understand that this is basically the same show, only
with an American accent. But it is a show that
ran for a long time in England and the Fox
is lucky they'll have a.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Hit on their hands as well.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
And it's a very it's more of a comedy than
a drama sometimes that there is a lot of medical stories.
So anyway, that's the new show. Fox is going to
have a lot of new shows on this week. But
also Sunday, I should point out that there's a new
episode of The Simpsons, which is going to be hitting
its eight hitdredth episode in a couple of weeks. But
this is a spoof of Severance, the hit show that's
(04:28):
up for a lot of awards.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
On the Apple TV.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
But Severance.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
In this episode, Homer goes to work for this secretive
company that screws with your mind, which if you know
the show Severance, it's the show. But people when to
go to work, their outside selves are separated from their
inside selves, so the people at work don't know who
they are on the outside. People on the outside don't
know what they do on the inside. So we'll see
how this works in the world of Homer Simpson. So anyway,
that's happening, and then later in the week, Fox is
(04:55):
going to give us a new season, the fourteenth season
already of The Masked Singer, which is of their big
hit shows where celebrities or people who are supposed to
be celebrities are hiding inside these huge, crazy costumes while
they're singing songs and you're trying to figure out who's
inside the costume. And some of the costumes this season
include egg Plant, a couple based on dogs like Queen
(05:18):
Corgy and Pudcasso, so I guess that's a pug that
looks like Picasso, scare of which is as big big spider.
And then there's a sometimes they do it and like teams,
and there's something to be called the Croissants. So those
are some of the people that you meet in this
new season of.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
The Massive Singer.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Very silly show, but again the reality TV is upon
us and it's going to be a flunt of it
as we head into January. You know, the holiday hiatus
is over, so there's a lot of new stuff coming
on already in January.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, what very little I've watched with the masks Singer.
I've never guessed any of those people. I always feel
like an idiot.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Well, and when they unmask them, it's like, oh, what
an anti climax Sometimes I go, is that supposed to
be a famous person? Kind of like what happens on
Dancing with the Stars anymore? Though you never know, You never.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Know, all right.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
For fans of reality competitions, we had some more of
that coming up this week's streaming.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Yeah, two of the biggest shows on streaming. The two
of the biggest reality competitions on streaming are back this week.
Amazon Prime Video they launched us a second season of
Beast Games, which became right away their most popular non
scripted show ever. These Games comes from a guy called
Mister Beast, famous YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson who creates these crazy
(06:29):
stunts on YouTube, but now he's turned it into a
game show where he brings on a hundred of the
smartest people and one hundred of the strongest people to
play opposite each other.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
They whittle it down.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Of course, you have to have alliances because you never
know what the next challenge is going to be. Sometimes
it's going to be about brains, sometimes it's going to
be about braun And so these teams kind of have
to work together and the team and the teams get
little down pretty quick. There is a point at which
almost half the contestants are gone, like right away. But
they're playing for five million dollars, so the stakes are
really high. The stunts and the games are really wild.
(07:03):
And so Beast Games begins on Wednesday, and I think
with three episodes, and so that became a big hit
for them, and then one day later on Peacock they're
going to launch the fourth season of The Traders, which
has become a big hit with the Emmys. And this
is a series where it's all very devious and there's
people who's working against this the group's best interests, and
(07:23):
who's the trader and who's the hero You never really
know again until the end of the series. But the
cast includes a lot of reality TV veterans. You got
several Real housewives, You've got people who've you known from
Survivor and Love Island and Bachelor and Dancing with the
Stars and Top Chefs.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
So these are like.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
People who become famous on reality TV and now they
come together in this show. And then of course what
I've also seen happen is people who become famous on
The Traders go on to be on shows like Dancing
with the Stars.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
So these things they.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Feed each other.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
So you're going to get people like also Tera Lipinski
and Johnny Weir. You're going to see later on this
year at the Olympics. They're going to be in this season,
Football Mom, donnic Kelcey and lots more people. So anyway,
The Traders is a lot of fun. Out on coming
is the host. And so that's happening on Peacock on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
And we got a new year here.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
The dawn of a new year comes the beginning of
Awards season.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Yeah, every week you're just about going to give us
a new awards show. But the first up is the
Critics Choice Awards, and I guess out of the full disclosure,
I sit on some of the nominating committees for the
TV categories. They do both TV and film, but Film
gets most of the attention right now because everything is
a build up to the Oscars later this year. But
the Critics Choice Award is going to be airing on
(08:37):
USA Network and the E Channel on Sunday night, and
it's the.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
First big Hollywood Awards show.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
So you're going to see Sinners, the movie, the big
hit movie from last year that's leading the movie pack
with seventeen nominations. One battle after another with Leonardo DiCaprio.
That's close behind the fourteen. So those are again going
to tell you that these are the movies that are
probably going to be up for the Oscars ater on
when those nominations come out, and on the TV side,
I would expect you'll see sort of a repeatable what
(09:05):
happened at the Emmy's last year, because The Pit is
up for Best Drama, at the Studio is up for
Best Comedy. Adolescents from Netflix is a limited series favorite,
so they'll probably have their They'll probably do very well
at the Critics Choice Awards as well. I was really
happy that Alien Earth, one of my favorite shows from
last year, got nominated for Best Drama. Probably won't win,
(09:25):
but I'm glad that it's in there. And when you
see these nominations Nape nominations for both movies and films,
sometimes you're thinking for movies and TV, you're thinking, maybe
these are things I ought to check out. So again
that's what good I guess Critics Choice Awards are.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
We will see.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
But anyway, the Golden Globes are a week away.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
So TV is back with us right now.

record high seven point two percent. They're most in around
six months after its CEO quoted customers as saying, quote,

It's coming up on eight thirty nine, seven hundred WLW
Steve Hawkins and for Tom Burnham, and he's back on
Monday morning at five oh six to get you into
twenty twenty six. I thought we would look back on
twenty twenty five with Brian Combs from our newsroom.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Thanks for stopping by.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Absolutely the biggest stories of twenty twenty five that you
guys covered is a big snowstorm last January.
Speaker 11 (13:45):
One of how it started twenty twenty five saw the
holiday break for many kids extended by three or four days.
The city and the Tristate area hit by up to
a foot of snow in spots, and for Cincinnati it
was parallel. I mean there were parts of Mount Adams,
you could not get through other neighborhoods locked in the
(14:06):
snow hit. Then the cold locked in that snow before
the crews could get to it. Come to find out
that the city had all kinds of issues trying to
handle the snow, including equipment that was broken down. Investigation
later revealed that about twenty five percent of the fleet
wasn't working. They didn't have adequate plans to use city
(14:30):
workers for overtime to get them in trucks and get
out there were in the past they would take people
from other departments, kind of making it all hands on deck
thing when a snowstorm like that hit. But they found
out that those other department workers were not trained for
the job or they were just not willing to do it,
(14:52):
didn't want to volunteer, and the city didn't want to
force them. They went through six months at city Hall
of studying the issues they had with snow, removed and
hired a new public services director from Cleveland and the
guy who was used to dealing with big snows, and
so far since the storms that we've had, city seems
to have done a much better problem. But part of
(15:14):
a big part of the early part of twenty twenty
five was marked by the City of Cincinnati's failure to
be able to do basic things like remove snow from
the neighborhoods. Councilman Seth Walsh pretty much campaigned on it,
and he was a frequent guest on Scott Sloan's show
talking about his frustrations dealing with the city manager and
other people in the city who had neglected snow removal
(15:39):
in part because we really hadn't been hit by a
big storm in a while.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I mean, those of us.
Speaker 11 (15:43):
Who grew up here know what it's like to go
through the winners of seventy seven and seventy eight, But
at that point the city leaders had not all right.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Another story that you guys covered, you.
Speaker 11 (15:52):
Know, crime in the City of Cincinnati certainly has been
one of the major themes throughout the year. Had the
tragic death of the Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy Detective Deputy
Larry Henderson, who was directing traffic near uc He was
killed and what we come to find out was apparently
(16:14):
a revenge style murder over the death of the suspect's
son who was shot by Cincinnati police. That was the
Ryan Hinton case that dominated the headlines. After that all
played out in May, we had several cases during the
summer and that were very high profile, including the over
the Rye murder of Patrick Herringer and his wife. Then
(16:35):
became really the poster child for demanding action from city hall.
She was quite vocal in her frustrations with the City
of Cincinnati leadership over things that were not being done
to secure the neighborhood. Really started a city wide crackdown
(16:56):
on crime that brought state police into town, you know,
new partnerships with the federal government to try and get
violent criminals off the streets for the year, and it
looks like violent crime and Cincinnati will end up being
down in the neighborhood of seven and a half to
eight percent. Final figures are not in yet. One casualty
(17:18):
of all the issues with crime with Cincinnati Police Chief
Teresa thigi Oh. She was suspended by the City of
Cincinnati an investigation launch, saying they questioned whether or not
she was effective in leading the department to deal with
such a big issue as the crime problem in Cincinnati.
(17:38):
We found out just a couple of days ago that
that investigation is not yet complete. They haven't found out
the reason why to fire her exactly, and the city
is going to have the investigators work for two more
months to keep looking for issues. The crime issue became
the big issue of the campaign of twenty twenty five.
(18:02):
Cincinnati Mayor aftab Perval was challenged by a West End minister,
Corey Bowman, who was the Republican candidate. Puval, in spite
of the issues with crime and snow removal and other
things that the city was criticized for, won in a landslide,
wasn't close, and all eight of the incumbents who were
(18:22):
on council who ran for reelection were re elected. They
were every one of them in the November elections. The
other interesting thing that happened in Hamilton County at the
same time was gains that we saw the Democratic Party
make in places that were considered incredibly blue incredibly red
that went blue, like Anderson Township. Republican incumbents lost two
(18:46):
trustee races there. The Republican Conservatives lost control of the
Forest Hills school Board. Democrats scored gains in Springfield Township.
Also outside Hamilton County, Mason saw Democrats win council races there,
and Westchester saw a trustee races where Democrats that the
question is that some kind of referendum back against Donald Trump.
(19:09):
One big story that's going to play out in January
of this year goes back to July, and that was
the brawl that happened downtown after the music festival and
the assault charges that followed in what appeared to be
a dispute between white and black people. The one white
person who was charged in the case after the fact,
(19:32):
long after the fact, the Russian Alex Stravinsky, is set
to go on trial in the coming weeks. Trialing is
supposed to happen in December. He's only charged with the
sword of the conduct, but that'll be the first of
these cases to hit the courts. Other big things that
happened in the tri State in twenty twenty five include
a number of immigration raids. The Butler County sheriff, as
(19:55):
he has been for a long time, very vocal about
supporting the administration's policies. We had the iman who was
a counselor at Children's hospital locked up in Butler County
for several months, so i'man Solomon was released after seventy
(20:15):
three days in jail. When the government said they really
didn't have any case against him, and you talk about
racial issues and unrest. The thing that caught the headlines
this summer. It happened and even actually in February, but
then went on into the summer when the KKK took
over an overpass on seventy five and Evendale and the
(20:35):
people of Lincoln Heights took great offense and started patrolling
their own streets and standing up to the protesters who
were there. That has led the county this summer to
take a look at issues about how the Sheriff's department
and others respond. The Evendale Police Department continues to look
at how they will handle dealing with those kind of
(20:56):
demonstrations in the future. There were a number of people
who were very upset that the Sheriff's department kind of
helped the demonstrators who caused the controversy get out of
there and escort them on their way.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Big sports stories of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 11 (21:09):
Yeah, Joe Burrow's healthy now, but we know what happened
when he got hurt and Bengals failed to make the
playoffs for the third straight year. The Reds got to
the playoffs first time in a while only to be
swept by the Dodgers. Unfortunately, the big news on the
side with the Hamilton County and the Bengals settling the lease,
(21:33):
so we know the Bengals are in town for at
least eleven more years, as they signed that lease a
new lease to play a pay Corse Stadium that includes
four hundred and seventy five million dollars worth of improvements,
and I understand that as soon as the Bengals finish
Sunday afternoon's game, they will start the process immediately of
(21:54):
taking that money and making improvements. A lot of the
seats have to be torn out and replaced. The elevators
are going to get a makeover. Those escalators that never
seem to work to the upper tack are are scheduled
to be replaced. And that has worked that They tell
me we'll start on Monday as soon as the Bengals
season's over.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Thanks for recapping twenty twenty five. I appreciate it all Right,

future and coming up in the next couple of weeks,
actually next week, and things are going to get a
little bit more hectic, trying to go from Covington to Newport.
All right, as work on the fourth Street bridge is
going to start, and the schedule to start on the twelfth,
they'll close it over the Licking River, and that it

It was a nice time.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Good, good, Well, we got to get going and talk
about what's happening around here. I want to start with
fifty West Brewing. They're hosting family skating during these cold
days at the Wooster Pike location.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
Yeah, so they where the volleyball courts are. They do
that skating rink this time of the year and it's
really a good time to hang out. They've got a
heated kent with hot cider and chocolate and just a
good thing. That's really a kid friendly place.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
And for those of us doing dry January, they've got
this thhc seltzer. So this cherry limead caught my eye.
Have you had one of these seltzers yet?
Speaker 7 (25:57):
I haven't had one, but these have been really good
cellar for them, and hopefully they get it all straightened
out where they still remain legally allowed to be sold
in Ohio after a couple of days.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
That's good cherry limade sounding good to me. Urban artifact
they've got is it a meat raffle? Is that what
that is?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
It's a meat raffle?
Speaker 7 (26:18):
Yeah, this just some new way to raise funds that
a few places have done.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
And they're they're doing this.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
They're all this year.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Once a month they're gonna do one and you have
a chance to, you know, take home.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Fork or beef or bacon or whatever.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
And sounds like an interesting way.
Speaker 7 (26:35):
And that's tonight from seven to ten pm with what's
great special it's going on.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
And that's gonna be the first Friday of the month
every month in twenty twenty six. I never heard a
meat raffle that is. That's wonderful. I like that one.
Let's talk about tomorrow night. Is it esoteric? They're celebrating J. R. R.
Tolkien's birthday?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Correct?
Speaker 7 (26:57):
Yeah, so they're gonna they're gonna sort of have a
of the Rings inspired evening going on and that runs
tomorrow from from three to ten with a toast at
nine pm for his birthday. And they even encourage costumes.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Really that is wonderful.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Later this month, let's go to West Sixth Brewing is
celebrating their one beer anniversary at the Covington House location.
As they said, one beer anniversary.
Speaker 7 (27:28):
Yeah, it's hard to believe that they've already they've already
made it a year. And that's in that old mcknolls
Covington House, the firehouse down there by Mother God's Church,
and they're they're going to be celebrating that on January
fifteenth through the seventeenth, so in a couple of weekends.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
All right, So we got that going on to what
am I missing here? Barley Corns.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
We've got the Yeah, we've got a Barley Corns brew house.
They're opening up there. They're expanded big location out there
Independence at the downs of Nicholson Development, and they're they're
hoping to have this ready early springtime. So I would
think by March we'll be uh, we'll be talking about
a new location out here in Independence and looks to
(28:14):
be like, it's going to be quite the place.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
And that's gonna be if I'm not mistaken. That's their
second location, Is that right correct?
Speaker 7 (28:22):
That'll be their their second location, and it should be
an expanded brewing operation. So they should be able to
make a little more beer now.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
And that's what we need. We need more beer. Tell
me about Bockfest. It's already on the calendar, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (28:38):
Yeah, so they've they've released the dates. So it'll be
March sixth through the eighth coming up. And that's always
a rite of spring around here. I mean I always
you always know that we're pretty much finished with with
with the snow and the cold and that once Bockfest
rolls around. So I thought be a positive way to
welcome in the new year with the Bockfest dates for
(28:59):
this on a.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Year, Okay, for people new to Cincinnati and never been,
how do you how do you explain Bockfest.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
It's a it's sech a unique celebration of the bock
beer style, and you've got a lot of the breweries
that participate, a lot of the bars and stuff, and
it's just it reaches back to the brewing history in
the area with a lot of different things.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
But the amazing thing is they do.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
A parade with big big goats and everything and stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
That's incredible.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
It's it's it's.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
Like an october Fest, but for bock beer in the.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Spring, right, and that's March sixth of the eighth this year.

A smell that fresh money news is being served. This
is the Bloomberg Money Minute on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Right directors with us this morning. We got another report here.
Let's talk about Tesla this start. Their sales outlook darkens
despite Musk's self driving euphoria. That's right, Steve.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Tesla's expected to report today that it delivered just under
four hundred and forty one thousand vehicles in the fourth quarter.
That's down eleven percent from last year, according to data
compiled by Bloomberg and Tesla ended last year on a roll,
with investors increasingly buying into elon Musk's excitement over autonomous vehicles,
But winning over actual car buyers is another story.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, okay, we got gold, silver, platinum. They've all been surging.
But now the price of aluminum is going up.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah. Aluminums climbed above three thousand dollars a ton for
the first time in more than three years on tightening
supply outlook and long term demand bets. A cap on
Chinese smelting capacity and constraints to European production due to
higher electricity prices have chipped away at global inventories, while
the demand outlook from the construction and renewable sectors remain robust. Copper, nickel,
(01:12):
and iron ore futures also seeing gains, with copper resuming
its gains as well.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
So that's what that looks like.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Okay, less than ninety minutes to open. We haven't been
opening the stock market since Wednesday, New Year's Eve.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
What are you seeing right now?

higher open right now. Dow futures up one hundred and
eighty two points, NASTAC futures up two forty five, SMP
futures up thirty nine from Bloomberg. Erica Herschowitz on news

how are.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
You pretty good? Happy to be here?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, I hope you had a great New Year and
stayed up till midnight partying.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
That's I certainly had a very fun night.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Yes, I did that to night that I stay away
from the TV, although there's a lot of great TV
that's happening. And Diana Ross ringing in the new Year
on ABC, which would have been a lot of fun.
But no, the night that I do some very New
Yorky things here, but I stay far away from Times Square.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
If I can possibly do it, you.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Have to, all right, let's kick it off.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Fox is wasting no time to get the shows on
the air this week, right.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Yeah, including one that's going to be a lot of
very familiar to people who have seen a show, a
long running British show on that was syndicated to PBS stations.
The show they're titling Best Medicine, which premieres on Sunday.
It basically is an American version of a show called
Doc Martin that has run for like ten years, and
many people who've.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Watched this show, it's one of those sort of.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Cozy medical dramas with a lot of comedy in it.
But the show is about this doctor and the doctor's
name is Martin Best, and it's played by Josh Charles.
And Josh Charles is a very familiar TV face. He's
been in shows like The Good Wife and The Handmaid's
Tale all the way back to Sports Night as an
early Aaron Sorkin show. But he plays this guy Uh.
But he doesn't like to be called Doc Martin for
(03:07):
obvious reasons, because he don't want to say that this
is not Doc Martin. This is a show called Best Medicine.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
But the idea here is.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
That he is relocated from the big city of Boston
into a small town in Maine. He becomes the small
town's doctor. And the reason he had to leave the
big practice is because he has developed some very bizarre
and you'll find out later why, a diversion to blood.
So when he sees blood, he gets really kind of shaken,
which is not good for a doctor, I imagine. But but
but the idea is that he is also this not
(03:35):
He's not a people person, so to for him to
become the town doctor is an odd fit for him.
He does, and as he gets close to this town
with all these quirky people, he'll he'll soften up and
they'll get to like him.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
But it takes a while. But the series begins on
on on on.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Sunday on Fox, and uh, and so the people who
have watched Doc Martin over the years, Uh, they're going
to understand that this is basically the same show, only
with an American accent. But it is a show that
ran for a long time in England and the Fox
is lucky they'll have a.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Hit on their hands as well.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
And it's a very it's more of a comedy than
a drama sometimes that there is a lot of medical stories.
So anyway, that's the new show. Fox is going to
have a lot of new shows on this week. But
also Sunday, I should point out that there's a new
episode of The Simpsons, which is going to be hitting
its eight hitdredth episode in a couple of weeks. But
this is a spoof of Severance, the hit show that's
(04:28):
up for a lot of awards.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
On the Apple TV.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
But Severance.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
In this episode, Homer goes to work for this secretive
company that screws with your mind, which if you know
the show Severance, it's the show. But people when to
go to work, their outside selves are separated from their
inside selves, so the people at work don't know who
they are on the outside. People on the outside don't
know what they do on the inside. So we'll see
how this works in the world of Homer Simpson. So anyway,
that's happening, and then later in the week, Fox is
(04:55):
going to give us a new season, the fourteenth season
already of The Masked Singer, which is of their big
hit shows where celebrities or people who are supposed to
be celebrities are hiding inside these huge, crazy costumes while
they're singing songs and you're trying to figure out who's
inside the costume. And some of the costumes this season
include egg Plant, a couple based on dogs like Queen
(05:18):
Corgy and Pudcasso, so I guess that's a pug that
looks like Picasso, scare of which is as big big spider.
And then there's a sometimes they do it and like teams,
and there's something to be called the Croissants. So those
are some of the people that you meet in this
new season of.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
The Massive Singer.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Very silly show, but again the reality TV is upon
us and it's going to be a flunt of it
as we head into January. You know, the holiday hiatus
is over, so there's a lot of new stuff coming
on already in January.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, what very little I've watched with the masks Singer.
I've never guessed any of those people. I always feel
like an idiot.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Well, and when they unmask them, it's like, oh, what
an anti climax Sometimes I go, is that supposed to
be a famous person? Kind of like what happens on
Dancing with the Stars anymore? Though you never know, You never.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Know, all right.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
For fans of reality competitions, we had some more of
that coming up this week's streaming.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Yeah, two of the biggest shows on streaming. The two
of the biggest reality competitions on streaming are back this week.
Amazon Prime Video they launched us a second season of
Beast Games, which became right away their most popular non
scripted show ever. These Games comes from a guy called
Mister Beast, famous YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson who creates these crazy
(06:29):
stunts on YouTube, but now he's turned it into a
game show where he brings on a hundred of the
smartest people and one hundred of the strongest people to
play opposite each other.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
They whittle it down.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Of course, you have to have alliances because you never
know what the next challenge is going to be. Sometimes
it's going to be about brains, sometimes it's going to
be about braun And so these teams kind of have
to work together and the team and the teams get
little down pretty quick. There is a point at which
almost half the contestants are gone, like right away. But
they're playing for five million dollars, so the stakes are
really high. The stunts and the games are really wild.
(07:03):
And so Beast Games begins on Wednesday, and I think
with three episodes, and so that became a big hit
for them, and then one day later on Peacock they're
going to launch the fourth season of The Traders, which
has become a big hit with the Emmys. And this
is a series where it's all very devious and there's
people who's working against this the group's best interests, and
(07:23):
who's the trader and who's the hero You never really
know again until the end of the series. But the
cast includes a lot of reality TV veterans. You got
several Real housewives, You've got people who've you known from
Survivor and Love Island and Bachelor and Dancing with the
Stars and Top Chefs.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
So these are like.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
People who become famous on reality TV and now they
come together in this show. And then of course what
I've also seen happen is people who become famous on
The Traders go on to be on shows like Dancing
with the Stars.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
So these things they.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Feed each other.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
So you're going to get people like also Tera Lipinski
and Johnny Weir. You're going to see later on this
year at the Olympics. They're going to be in this season,
Football Mom, donnic Kelcey and lots more people. So anyway,
The Traders is a lot of fun. Out on coming
is the host. And so that's happening on Peacock on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
And we got a new year here.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
The dawn of a new year comes the beginning of
Awards season.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Yeah, every week you're just about going to give us
a new awards show. But the first up is the
Critics Choice Awards, and I guess out of the full disclosure,
I sit on some of the nominating committees for the
TV categories. They do both TV and film, but Film
gets most of the attention right now because everything is
a build up to the Oscars later this year. But
the Critics Choice Award is going to be airing on
(08:37):
USA Network and the E Channel on Sunday night, and
it's the.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
First big Hollywood Awards show.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
So you're going to see Sinners, the movie, the big
hit movie from last year that's leading the movie pack
with seventeen nominations. One battle after another with Leonardo DiCaprio.
That's close behind the fourteen. So those are again going
to tell you that these are the movies that are
probably going to be up for the Oscars ater on
when those nominations come out, and on the TV side,
I would expect you'll see sort of a repeatable what
(09:05):
happened at the Emmy's last year, because The Pit is
up for Best Drama, at the Studio is up for
Best Comedy. Adolescents from Netflix is a limited series favorite,
so they'll probably have their They'll probably do very well
at the Critics Choice Awards as well. I was really
happy that Alien Earth, one of my favorite shows from
last year, got nominated for Best Drama. Probably won't win,
(09:25):
but I'm glad that it's in there. And when you
see these nominations Nape nominations for both movies and films,
sometimes you're thinking for movies and TV, you're thinking, maybe
these are things I ought to check out. So again
that's what good I guess Critics Choice Awards are.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
We will see.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
But anyway, the Golden Globes are a week away.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
So TV is back with us right now.
Speaker 2 (09:42):

Steve Hawkins and for Tom Burnham, and he's back on
Monday morning at five oh six to get you into
twenty twenty six. I thought we would look back on
twenty twenty five with Brian Combs from our newsroom.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Thanks for stopping by.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Absolutely the biggest stories of twenty twenty five that you
guys covered is a big snowstorm last January.
Speaker 11 (13:45):
One of how it started twenty twenty five saw the
holiday break for many kids extended by three or four days.
The city and the Tristate area hit by up to
a foot of snow in spots, and for Cincinnati it
was parallel. I mean there were parts of Mount Adams,
you could not get through other neighborhoods locked in the
(14:06):
snow hit. Then the cold locked in that snow before
the crews could get to it. Come to find out
that the city had all kinds of issues trying to
handle the snow, including equipment that was broken down. Investigation
later revealed that about twenty five percent of the fleet
wasn't working. They didn't have adequate plans to use city
(14:30):
workers for overtime to get them in trucks and get
out there were in the past they would take people
from other departments, kind of making it all hands on deck
thing when a snowstorm like that hit. But they found
out that those other department workers were not trained for
the job or they were just not willing to do it,
(14:52):
didn't want to volunteer, and the city didn't want to
force them. They went through six months at city Hall
of studying the issues they had with snow, removed and
hired a new public services director from Cleveland and the
guy who was used to dealing with big snows, and
so far since the storms that we've had, city seems
to have done a much better problem. But part of
(15:14):
a big part of the early part of twenty twenty
five was marked by the City of Cincinnati's failure to
be able to do basic things like remove snow from
the neighborhoods. Councilman Seth Walsh pretty much campaigned on it,
and he was a frequent guest on Scott Sloan's show
talking about his frustrations dealing with the city manager and
other people in the city who had neglected snow removal
(15:39):
in part because we really hadn't been hit by a
big storm in a while.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I mean, those of us.
Speaker 11 (15:43):
Who grew up here know what it's like to go
through the winners of seventy seven and seventy eight, But
at that point the city leaders had not all right.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Another story that you guys covered, you.
Speaker 11 (15:52):
Know, crime in the City of Cincinnati certainly has been
one of the major themes throughout the year. Had the
tragic death of the Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy Detective Deputy
Larry Henderson, who was directing traffic near uc He was
killed and what we come to find out was apparently
(16:14):
a revenge style murder over the death of the suspect's
son who was shot by Cincinnati police. That was the
Ryan Hinton case that dominated the headlines. After that all
played out in May, we had several cases during the
summer and that were very high profile, including the over
the Rye murder of Patrick Herringer and his wife. Then
(16:35):
became really the poster child for demanding action from city hall.
She was quite vocal in her frustrations with the City
of Cincinnati leadership over things that were not being done
to secure the neighborhood. Really started a city wide crackdown
(16:56):
on crime that brought state police into town, you know,
new partnerships with the federal government to try and get
violent criminals off the streets for the year, and it
looks like violent crime and Cincinnati will end up being
down in the neighborhood of seven and a half to
eight percent. Final figures are not in yet. One casualty
(17:18):
of all the issues with crime with Cincinnati Police Chief
Teresa thigi Oh. She was suspended by the City of
Cincinnati an investigation launch, saying they questioned whether or not
she was effective in leading the department to deal with
such a big issue as the crime problem in Cincinnati.
(17:38):
We found out just a couple of days ago that
that investigation is not yet complete. They haven't found out
the reason why to fire her exactly, and the city
is going to have the investigators work for two more
months to keep looking for issues. The crime issue became
the big issue of the campaign of twenty twenty five.
(18:02):
Cincinnati Mayor aftab Perval was challenged by a West End minister,
Corey Bowman, who was the Republican candidate. Puval, in spite
of the issues with crime and snow removal and other
things that the city was criticized for, won in a landslide,
wasn't close, and all eight of the incumbents who were
(18:22):
on council who ran for reelection were re elected. They
were every one of them in the November elections. The
other interesting thing that happened in Hamilton County at the
same time was gains that we saw the Democratic Party
make in places that were considered incredibly blue incredibly red
that went blue, like Anderson Township. Republican incumbents lost two
(18:46):
trustee races there. The Republican Conservatives lost control of the
Forest Hills school Board. Democrats scored gains in Springfield Township.
Also outside Hamilton County, Mason saw Democrats win council races there,
and Westchester saw a trustee races where Democrats that the
question is that some kind of referendum back against Donald Trump.
(19:09):
One big story that's going to play out in January
of this year goes back to July, and that was
the brawl that happened downtown after the music festival and
the assault charges that followed in what appeared to be
a dispute between white and black people. The one white
person who was charged in the case after the fact,
(19:32):
long after the fact, the Russian Alex Stravinsky, is set
to go on trial in the coming weeks. Trialing is
supposed to happen in December. He's only charged with the
sword of the conduct, but that'll be the first of
these cases to hit the courts. Other big things that
happened in the tri State in twenty twenty five include
a number of immigration raids. The Butler County sheriff, as
(19:55):
he has been for a long time, very vocal about
supporting the administration's policies. We had the iman who was
a counselor at Children's hospital locked up in Butler County
for several months, so i'man Solomon was released after seventy
(20:15):
three days in jail. When the government said they really
didn't have any case against him, and you talk about
racial issues and unrest. The thing that caught the headlines
this summer. It happened and even actually in February, but
then went on into the summer when the KKK took
over an overpass on seventy five and Evendale and the
(20:35):
people of Lincoln Heights took great offense and started patrolling
their own streets and standing up to the protesters who
were there. That has led the county this summer to
take a look at issues about how the Sheriff's department
and others respond. The Evendale Police Department continues to look
at how they will handle dealing with those kind of
(20:56):
demonstrations in the future. There were a number of people
who were very upset that the Sheriff's department kind of
helped the demonstrators who caused the controversy get out of
there and escort them on their way.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Big sports stories of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 11 (21:09):
Yeah, Joe Burrow's healthy now, but we know what happened
when he got hurt and Bengals failed to make the
playoffs for the third straight year. The Reds got to
the playoffs first time in a while only to be
swept by the Dodgers. Unfortunately, the big news on the
side with the Hamilton County and the Bengals settling the lease,
(21:33):
so we know the Bengals are in town for at
least eleven more years, as they signed that lease a
new lease to play a pay Corse Stadium that includes
four hundred and seventy five million dollars worth of improvements,
and I understand that as soon as the Bengals finish
Sunday afternoon's game, they will start the process immediately of
(21:54):
taking that money and making improvements. A lot of the
seats have to be torn out and replaced. The elevators
are going to get a makeover. Those escalators that never
seem to work to the upper tack are are scheduled
to be replaced. And that has worked that They tell
me we'll start on Monday as soon as the Bengals
season's over.
Speaker 2 (22:14):

cellar for them, and hopefully they get it all straightened
out where they still remain legally allowed to be sold
