Money, money, money, money news is like potato chifs I
can't get enough as long as they're rippled. This is
the Bloomberg money minutes on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
This is a Bloomberg money minute. Gold and silver shimmering
this morning, surging to an all time high, partly on
global political instability after record highs for the Dow on
SMP the day before Christmas holiday, stock futures indicating a
lower open for the Dow this morning. China announcing sanctions
against some US defense companies and also some executives in
(00:35):
response to US ARM sales to Taiwan. Northrop Grumman, L Three,
Harris Maritime Services, and Boeing's operations in Saint Louis among
those mentioned. The sanctions seen as largely symbolic, and after
years of kids clubs, luxury resorts are leaning into family
camp with hotels offering activities the whole family can do
(00:56):
together instead of sending kids to those kids clubs. The
programs aimed to bridge the interest of parenting kids with
activity like scavenger hunts, spot dates, and storytelling sessions as
adults look to make memories with their children together while traveling.
Now Denise Pellagreedy Bloemberg Radio.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Thanks Denise.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
It's just about eight ten on seven hundred WLW. It's
a Friday of the day after Christmas. Steve Hawkins in
for Tom Brenneman. We always get to talk to Matt
Roush talking TV at this time.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Hey, good morning, Matt. How are you.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
I'm hanging in there about you. A happy day after Christmas?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Absolutely, I hope you had good holiday, you and your
family and friends and everything.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Everything's great.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
There's not much going on here for the week between
Christmas and New Year's even Netflix pretty much mostly quite
except for that stranger things.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
They're going to wrap it up on New Year's Eve.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah, got a few things, of course, because Netflix never
slows down. But yeah, this is that very very brief
pause in the world of television where things are relatively quiet,
that we're heading toward New Year's Eve. So there are
a few things though happening. I will say, the big
thing that everybody's looking for that I'm hearing from anyway
on today or tonight, is that HBO Max the streamer
(02:16):
is closing out their first season of a show that
has created quite a bit of buzz in all kinds
of corners, but it is called Heated Rivalry. This series,
only six episodes of the first season comes from Canada,
is an acquisition that HBO had. But this is a
show about hockey, but it's really a love story. It's
set in the world of hockey. It's a gay love story.
(02:37):
The two young men, one from Canada one from Russia
on opposing teams and the media has made them real rivals.
But what they don't know is that secretly they have
basically fallen for each other. So but of course, in
the world of sports, it's very hard for people to
be who they really are if they're not playing by
the regular rules. So anyway, that has been playing out
over several years during this during the first season, if
(03:00):
he did, Rivalry based on a series of young adult
novels that are also quite popular. So anyway, the final
episode drops today and I would call this episode the
Summer that Changed Everything. They spend some time together between seasons,
but anyway, this is one of those shows that has
become quite an addiction to those who have found it.
But it'll be back for another season at some point,
(03:22):
and maybe they'll do more than six episodes. That is
sort of the streaming way though, shorter seasons, long breaks
between seasons. But I have a feeling when he did
Rivalry comes back, it'll also be pretty hot.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Well, why are they doing like six episodes? Why don't
they do like twenty or twenty five episodes like the
regular TV.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Used to do.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Well, it's the way that streaming kind of works. I mean,
even Netflix, I mean, their series tend to be about
eight to ten episodes max. I mean even some of
the really popular ones are only about eight episodes. There
must be some kind of algorithm that tells them that,
especially for shows that drop all at once. I mean
this has been avera weekly on HBO, But this sort
of streaming thing is that they do. It's the economics too, maybe,
(04:02):
but they do fewer episodes. You watch them like all
at once, especially on Netflix, and then it takes them
a long time to make another season and they don't
air them weekly. So it is just the way that
streaming has kind of played the rules. I don't always
agree with it. I love the roll out, the weekly
rollout of episodes of the series, but Netflix has kind
of changed the equick equation. They figure that if they
(04:24):
put a show on They're going to give it to
you and you can watch it as you want to
watch it, as opposed to waiting every week for the
next episode, which is you know, it works for some series,
it doesn't work for some. And the danger, of course,
when you produce as much as Netflix does, is that
even a really good show can sometimes get lost in
the wash if it drops all at once. It's like
you're only writing about it, only talking about it on
(04:46):
the time that it premieres, and then it's really up
to you whether you can actually find the series if
you know, two days later, four more series premiere. So
it's a lot. The world of streaming is still a
work in progress in many ways, but in this particulicular case,
this show broke out for HBO Max and it doesn't
air on regular HBO. You have to you have to
be streaming to watch it or watch it online. But
(05:09):
it has been a real success for HBO. I think
nobody saw this one coming.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I was talk about Tuesday Night Netflix. They got some
comedy going on there, right they do.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Ricky Gervais, one of their more popular personalities is his
fourth stand up special. He's also created several series for them,
one in particular Afterlife as one of the really good
series that rich Ricky Gervais did. Of course, Ricky Gervaise
became famous for starring and and creating the original British
version of the Office, which of course then became a
huge hit for NBC with Steve Carell. But uh, but
(05:38):
Ricky Gervaise very bold, very remember him when we used
to host the Cold Globes. Yeah, never really, never really
shies from controversy. But in this stand up special that
drops on Tuesday on Netflix, it's called Mortality, and he's
going to be confronting mortality and death and all kinds
of other funny things. It'll be a little bit dark,
but he says it's his most honest comedy special that
(05:59):
if you're a fan of your bage, you're gonn want
to check that out. That's on Tuesday on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Hey, when I was a kid, mom and dad went
out for New Year's Eve. The rest of us got
to stay home with Grandma and order a pizza and
watch Dick Clark's rocking New Year's Eve. And it's that
time of year again coming up next week. Tell me
about it.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Okay, Well, definitely, this is the one that most people
were going to be watching. If you're staying home to
watch TV, you're probably got it on ABC for what
they still call Dick Clark's New York's New Year's Rock
and Eve, even though now it's hosted by Ryan Seacrest,
who's picked up the banner for quite a few years now.
But it's always like, who are they going to do
to bring in the New year? Who's when the ball
drops on Times Square? Who's going to be singing this year?
(06:42):
That honor goes to Diana Ross. So they have found
a real living legend diva. You know, we just had
Share on Saturday Night Live. But now we're going to
get Diana Ross in Times Square doing the doing the
ball drops, So that's going to be a big deal.
But they've expanded the focus of this New Year's Rock
and Eve last few years, so it's not just New
York they're doing this stuff. You're also going to get
(07:02):
segments from Chicago and Las Vegas and Puerto Rico. You're
even going to get a bit from Kansas City. Chaperone's
going to be singing from Kansas City, Post Malone from Nashville.
But you've got all these different cities that'll be doing
the ball drop. So that's a big deal. That is
always going to be the number one. But if you
don't want to watch ABC, there's other ways to watch
the New Year's happening on television. CBS stays in Nashville
(07:27):
for five hours from like ten o'clock until you know,
the wee hours. There's a two hour toast what they
call a Toast to twenty twenty five on NBC. We're
just hosted by Today personalities Jenna Bush and Hoda Kotby,
and that's more of sort of an NBC centric I think,
not so much entertainment on that one. CNN, of course,
as we have for many years now, Andy Cohen from
(07:49):
Bravo teams up with Anderson Cooper to sort of get
a little toasty as they get into the new year.
They do that, yeah, and then they do that in
New York and then do reports across the globe. So
you'll see the way that all these other work those
countries are going to be bringing in the year. So
CNN has the wide focus, but I think most people
(08:10):
will be watching the entertainers on ABC that that is
the one that has, like you said, it is it
is the tradition that when I was a kid, it
was Guy Lombardo and it was very, very sedate. But
now ever since Dick Clark, Dick Clark did it, it'll
be a way to run to welcome in twenty twenty six,
which can't get here soon enough.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
If you ask me, Oh my goodness, Guy Lombardo, you
do there's grandma. I have my grandma watching that one.
We wanted to watch, Dick Clark. Do they do you know,
they do the one for the East Coast, do they
repeat it in the other time zones or do they
actually do some of those portions live again after.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
They they stay on pretty LATEV shows that there didn't
be like a one o'clock you know, our time would
be there, so an after show, or they might do
some repeat segments. But the way the idea though, of course,
is that this stuff is going to be continuing to
air an other time zone, that even maybe even Hawaii
gets to see some of this even as they're welcoming
the new year. Who knows. But yeah, but the TV
(09:07):
is one way of bringing in the new year, and yeah,
it's coming, like it or not?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
All right?
Speaker 4 (09:11):
And I got to put you on the spot here
to wrap things up, this link to your top ten
shows of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Our listeners can get that right yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
On tv insider dot com, which is our website, you
can see what I chose as my top ten shows.
If you want to quick run down for a second,
I will tell you that Apple TV did very well.
I had three shows from Apple on their severance, Pluribus
and The Studio, which won the Emmy for Best Comedy,
really great Hollywood satire. But my number one show is
(09:42):
The Pit and good News about Fans of The Pit,
which air on HBO Max. Hospital drama that brought Noah
Wyley back to the er. He won an Emmy. The
show won the Emmy for Best Drama. A terrific ensemble
show that set every season is set in one day,
one shift. Every hour is one hour episode, gripping, emotionally wrenching,
(10:03):
everything you want in a hospital drama and wonderful cast
in this show. Season two is coming on the Horizon
on one week from January first, which is January eighth.
They'll begin airing episodes weekly, fifteen episodes. This one kind
of breaks the streaming rules. This one feels more like
a regular network series on when they can push a
little bit further. It's a great show.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
And is it about the hospital or the emergency room
or the entire hospital?
Speaker 5 (10:27):
What is it? It is an ER show. Okay, the
pit is the sort of the it's set in Pittsburgh,
and that is sort of the jokey name for anything
where nothing is a joke in the er. But it
is basically an ER show. It kind of reinvents Er
in some ways when you think about what a huge
hit that was for NBC back in the day, made
Know a wiliest star, and now he and several people
(10:47):
who are producing the show also are veterans from the
regular Er series. But I think they've taken it to
a new level with the intensity of your following some
of these cases hour after hour in this one day,
So it doesn't have that sort of everything wraps up
in one hour. It just sort of escalates since you
follow some of these cases and some of these people
because they come into the er and then you know,
(11:09):
you have to like let things play out, and some
of them are quite emotional. It's a really great series,
but also just the cast is so good. These young
interns and now a new bunch of medical students, because
we've jumped forward ten months from the last season and
it's on the fourth of July, so a lot's happened
on the fourth of July. So that's the idea of
the second season of The Pit. It will probably be
(11:29):
on my list of top ten shows for next year too,
we'll see.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
All right, I'm gonna have to watch that one because
I need a new show. Matt Rash, how do we
connect with you?
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Well? TV Guide magazine and then daily on TV insider

not a whole lot of people that want to work
on a Friday, But you and I are here.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
That's well, yeah, there's three people here. You mean Sandy
in the newsroom. Oh we got Dana. Oh no, don't

couldn't forget him. No, But that's good light traffic next
week or so. That sounds good to me. From the

To water your money bush with sprinkles of knowledge. This
is the Bloomberg moneyment. It's on seven hundred WLW. This
is a Bloomberg money minute. Did you do some last
minute holiday shopping in person? And notice some pretty crowded
stores because Telsey Advisory Group says the weekend before Christmas
was packed this year compared to earlier in the month
(13:48):
in some metros. The analyst there I also say sweaters
appear to be among this year's popular gifts. If you
got some gold jewelry as a holiday present, it could
be worth more already than when you got at Gold
and Silver this morning hitting new record all time highs
as the medals rally gains more momentum. As for Wall
Street Trading, doll this morning could come under some early pressure.
(14:09):
And how'd you like to smell like people think?

Speaker 4 (14:38):
Seven hundred WLWN, Cincinnati, Steve Hawkins. In this morning, I
thought we would go out to the Strong National Museum
of Play and talk to one of their curators, Merrik
Stoley with us.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Hey, good morning, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Hi, thank you for having me.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
If I understand.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Correctly, you guys are in charge of the National Toy
Hall of Fame, and every year at this time you
induct different toys and or board games and things like that.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Yes, that's correct.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
What did you induct this year?
Speaker 8 (15:12):
So this year we inducted two board games, so those
were Battleship and Trivial Pursuit, and then one toy Slime
though I guess toy is a broader label, but yes.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
So how do how do you how'd you get down
to those three? Did you start off with more toys
and games and weed it down?
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Yes, we start with many more.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
So there's a public submission period, so we have a
form on our website. We received more than twenty one
hundred nominations this year, and those were for three hundred
and eleven different toys.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
So from there we narrow that down to twelve.
Speaker 8 (15:50):
We have a committee of toy historians and experts from
the industry who narrow it down to twelve finalists and
then we vote on those with them to determine the
three inductees.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
And so there's is it three every year or can
it be more getting than inducted?
Speaker 8 (16:08):
I believe there have been one or two years where
we've done four, but it is typically three.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
He and what other toys or things are in the
Toy Hall of Fame?
Speaker 8 (16:19):
Oh, well, there are many things, a lot of things
you might expect. So in terms of like board games,
of course, we have Monopoly, the Game of Life, but
also things like Barbie, of course is in there, and
more unconventional toys, but things that I.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
Think are widely played with. We inducted sand within the
last five years or so. Yes, that was a big one.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
There was some controversy in the early two thousands, I
believe when we inducted the stick.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Things like the cardboard box.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
These very imaginative sort of toys that are they're very ubiquitous,
but they're not necessarily what we think of as toys.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Is slinky in there, That's a good question.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
I believe slinky is, but I'm not totally.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
That's all right.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I believe playdough was invented here in Cincinnati. I get
playto in the Strong National Museum of Play. Where are
you guys located.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
We are located in Rochester, New York.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
And it is a It is a museum.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
We can walk in and see everything hanging on the
walls and stuff.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Yes.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Absolutely, we are one of the largest history museums in
the country. We have many exhibits on all sorts of things, from.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
Toys to video games.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
You know, we focus on interactive sort of exhibits as well,
so a lot of things you can play with, you
can touch, but of course see lots of antique toys
and learn a lot of history as well.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
That's excellent. Battleship, trivial Pursuit, and Slime. I like slime.
All inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame, the National
Toy Hall of Fame. Merrek Slowly one of the curators there.
Thanks so much for your time this morning. I appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (18:01):

Speaker 3 (18:07):

wasn't already in the I was gonna say I loved
battles I remember Light Bright. Oh yeah, Oh I loved
light Bright. Light Bright was special. Slime isn't you've stepped

last year.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
The top.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Two years ago baseball cards were inducted. Is that a toy?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
I guess to some because I probably lost an awful
lot of money and rookie cards and bike spokes my kids.
Speaker 4 (18:49):

the whole week. Oh yeah, remember that one absolutely? And
Clue is big at my house. Clue, okay, Battleship. What

write ups in one of the one of the online
beer portals that really basically ranked the twenty six best
breweries that opened this year, and we were lucky enough
to have two of them in our region, which was
(22:39):
really cool.

And the other one is that you get Hearth brewin Harrison,
South Ridge Brewing Wilmington. And these were recognized by their
colleagues in the industry, right.

All right, Esoteric this Saturday night, Now, this is interesting
hosting all women stand up comedy night.
Speaker 9 (23:46):
Yeah, and for keen Bucks. You get in and chance
to try some great Esoteric beers and have some women
entertain you behind the mic.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I like Kate Mark Elliott. Sister lou is going to
be there seven o'clock. And that's on the twenty seventh
Saturday night. Also, as we get through the weekend into
next week. It's coming up to New Year's. A lot
of places are hosting some New Year's party. Tell me
about start with Little Miami.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
Yeah, so they're recommending that you come by and enjoy
Pseudo Nano, which is a pretty good cover band. They
do a lot of stuff like Chris Dableton, Weezer and
a few others Radiohead and that. So that'd be a
nice way to go bring in the New Year over
at Little Miami and.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
One am I drinking at Little Miami. What are you
going to suggest for New Year's Eve?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Anything? Any favorites or at all?
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (24:42):
Really, anything Jim makes It's always good. You can't go wrong.
The Earth Cookie is always a fun one.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Okay, Gilligans is that next? They're hosting twenty twenty six
Midnight in Dublin.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
Yeah, so if you don't want to stay up till midnight,
you can celebrate New Year's and we'll do a Dublin
ball drop at seven pm. Or if you're up for it,
they're also going to do one which is based with
the New York time at midnight, so you can make
your choice there and if you don't celebrate too much.
(25:19):
You can come back the next day and they're going
to have a brunch and if you do both events,
you get twenty percent off of your brunch.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
I like that midnight in Dublin. That's what I'll have
to do. I'll have to do the seven o'clock one.
At Gilligan's Opera House. They got a keg tapping going
on Wednesday night to thirty first at six o'clock.
Speaker 9 (25:38):
Yeah, so you know, just toys in with their normal
keg tapping for the month and they're doing their Schwarz
beer and that'll start at six o'clock. Then if you
can hang around, you're welcome to stint till midnight and
ring in the new Year. And I recommend you try
their German style meat loaf.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
That's what I do.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
New Year's Great Beer at West six Street, the Covington
House Offborough House.
Speaker 9 (26:05):
They say that right, Yeah, this is the West sixth
Bruce Company down there in Covington, right across from Other
God's Church.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Got it all right, They've got the party single party
passes for twelve bucks, included a couple of draft picks,
bundle of six passes.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
So there you go, West six Street, Covington, house going
on for New Year's Eve?
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
What is going on at Ryan Guys on New Year's Eve?
Speaker 9 (26:30):
So this year their theme is Starfall, which is modeled
after the novel Court Court of Thorn and Roses, which
is tied in with the Starfall theme here that they.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Have going on. So something I'm not aware.
Speaker 9 (26:47):
Of, but that's that's what they chose this year for
their their New Year's Eve celebration.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Okay, and a couple more, Braxton hosted a New Year's
Eve party at their Factory fifty two location.
Speaker 9 (27:00):
Yeah, that's their new one up there in Norwood. If
you haven't any chance to get there, that might be
a good way to check out their new location. And
then and then fifty West is doing an early ball
drop as well. Since they've got so many things themed
around the kids in that they thought it'd be a
good idea to do a seven pm ball drop over
(27:20):
there so you could show up do some stuff with
the kids.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Good over there on Wooster Pike.
Speaker 9 (27:25):
And then they're also recommending that as dry January rolls
around to check out their sunflower thhc Seltzer got it?
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Where are you going to be drinking some beer this weekend?
Or New Year's Eve.
Speaker 9 (27:40):
I think New Year's East sounds like it'd be fun
over a little Miami sounds good.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Hey, beer Dave, have a great weekend, have a great
New Year. We'll talk to you next Friday morning.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 3 (27:51):

so much.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
It's coming up on nine o'clock here on the home
of the best Bengals coverage, Mike al Is next on
news radio seven hundred WLW.
Money, money, money, money news is like potato chifs I
can't get enough as long as they're rippled. This is
the Bloomberg money minutes on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
This is a Bloomberg money minute. Gold and silver shimmering
this morning, surging to an all time high, partly on
global political instability after record highs for the Dow on
SMP the day before Christmas holiday, stock futures indicating a
lower open for the Dow this morning. China announcing sanctions
against some US defense companies and also some executives in
(00:35):
response to US ARM sales to Taiwan. Northrop Grumman, L Three,
Harris Maritime Services, and Boeing's operations in Saint Louis among
those mentioned. The sanctions seen as largely symbolic, and after
years of kids clubs, luxury resorts are leaning into family
camp with hotels offering activities the whole family can do
(00:56):
together instead of sending kids to those kids clubs. The
programs aimed to bridge the interest of parenting kids with
activity like scavenger hunts, spot dates, and storytelling sessions as
adults look to make memories with their children together while traveling.
Now Denise Pellagreedy Bloemberg Radio.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Thanks Denise.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
It's just about eight ten on seven hundred WLW. It's
a Friday of the day after Christmas. Steve Hawkins in
for Tom Brenneman. We always get to talk to Matt
Roush talking TV at this time.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Hey, good morning, Matt. How are you.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
I'm hanging in there about you. A happy day after Christmas?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Absolutely, I hope you had good holiday, you and your
family and friends and everything.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Everything's great.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
There's not much going on here for the week between
Christmas and New Year's even Netflix pretty much mostly quite
except for that stranger things.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
They're going to wrap it up on New Year's Eve.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah, got a few things, of course, because Netflix never
slows down. But yeah, this is that very very brief
pause in the world of television where things are relatively quiet,
that we're heading toward New Year's Eve. So there are
a few things though happening. I will say, the big
thing that everybody's looking for that I'm hearing from anyway
on today or tonight, is that HBO Max the streamer
(02:16):
is closing out their first season of a show that
has created quite a bit of buzz in all kinds
of corners, but it is called Heated Rivalry. This series,
only six episodes of the first season comes from Canada,
is an acquisition that HBO had. But this is a
show about hockey, but it's really a love story. It's
set in the world of hockey. It's a gay love story.
(02:37):
The two young men, one from Canada one from Russia
on opposing teams and the media has made them real rivals.
But what they don't know is that secretly they have
basically fallen for each other. So but of course, in
the world of sports, it's very hard for people to
be who they really are if they're not playing by
the regular rules. So anyway, that has been playing out
over several years during this during the first season, if
(03:00):
he did, Rivalry based on a series of young adult
novels that are also quite popular. So anyway, the final
episode drops today and I would call this episode the
Summer that Changed Everything. They spend some time together between seasons,
but anyway, this is one of those shows that has
become quite an addiction to those who have found it.
But it'll be back for another season at some point,
(03:22):
and maybe they'll do more than six episodes. That is
sort of the streaming way though, shorter seasons, long breaks
between seasons. But I have a feeling when he did
Rivalry comes back, it'll also be pretty hot.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Well, why are they doing like six episodes? Why don't
they do like twenty or twenty five episodes like the
regular TV.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Used to do.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Well, it's the way that streaming kind of works. I mean,
even Netflix, I mean, their series tend to be about
eight to ten episodes max. I mean even some of
the really popular ones are only about eight episodes. There
must be some kind of algorithm that tells them that,
especially for shows that drop all at once. I mean
this has been avera weekly on HBO, But this sort
of streaming thing is that they do. It's the economics too, maybe,
(04:02):
but they do fewer episodes. You watch them like all
at once, especially on Netflix, and then it takes them
a long time to make another season and they don't
air them weekly. So it is just the way that
streaming has kind of played the rules. I don't always
agree with it. I love the roll out, the weekly
rollout of episodes of the series, but Netflix has kind
of changed the equick equation. They figure that if they
(04:24):
put a show on They're going to give it to
you and you can watch it as you want to
watch it, as opposed to waiting every week for the
next episode, which is you know, it works for some series,
it doesn't work for some. And the danger, of course,
when you produce as much as Netflix does, is that
even a really good show can sometimes get lost in
the wash if it drops all at once. It's like
you're only writing about it, only talking about it on
(04:46):
the time that it premieres, and then it's really up
to you whether you can actually find the series if
you know, two days later, four more series premiere. So
it's a lot. The world of streaming is still a
work in progress in many ways, but in this particulicular case,
this show broke out for HBO Max and it doesn't
air on regular HBO. You have to you have to
be streaming to watch it or watch it online. But
(05:09):
it has been a real success for HBO. I think
nobody saw this one coming.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I was talk about Tuesday Night Netflix. They got some
comedy going on there, right they do.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Ricky Gervais, one of their more popular personalities is his
fourth stand up special. He's also created several series for them,
one in particular Afterlife as one of the really good
series that rich Ricky Gervais did. Of course, Ricky Gervaise
became famous for starring and and creating the original British
version of the Office, which of course then became a
huge hit for NBC with Steve Carell. But uh, but
(05:38):
Ricky Gervaise very bold, very remember him when we used
to host the Cold Globes. Yeah, never really, never really
shies from controversy. But in this stand up special that
drops on Tuesday on Netflix, it's called Mortality, and he's
going to be confronting mortality and death and all kinds
of other funny things. It'll be a little bit dark,
but he says it's his most honest comedy special that
(05:59):
if you're a fan of your bage, you're gonn want
to check that out. That's on Tuesday on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Hey, when I was a kid, mom and dad went
out for New Year's Eve. The rest of us got
to stay home with Grandma and order a pizza and
watch Dick Clark's rocking New Year's Eve. And it's that
time of year again coming up next week. Tell me
about it.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Okay, Well, definitely, this is the one that most people
were going to be watching. If you're staying home to
watch TV, you're probably got it on ABC for what
they still call Dick Clark's New York's New Year's Rock
and Eve, even though now it's hosted by Ryan Seacrest,
who's picked up the banner for quite a few years now.
But it's always like, who are they going to do
to bring in the New year? Who's when the ball
drops on Times Square? Who's going to be singing this year?
(06:42):
That honor goes to Diana Ross. So they have found
a real living legend diva. You know, we just had
Share on Saturday Night Live. But now we're going to
get Diana Ross in Times Square doing the doing the
ball drops, So that's going to be a big deal.
But they've expanded the focus of this New Year's Rock
and Eve last few years, so it's not just New
York they're doing this stuff. You're also going to get
(07:02):
segments from Chicago and Las Vegas and Puerto Rico. You're
even going to get a bit from Kansas City. Chaperone's
going to be singing from Kansas City, Post Malone from Nashville.
But you've got all these different cities that'll be doing
the ball drop. So that's a big deal. That is
always going to be the number one. But if you
don't want to watch ABC, there's other ways to watch
the New Year's happening on television. CBS stays in Nashville
(07:27):
for five hours from like ten o'clock until you know,
the wee hours. There's a two hour toast what they
call a Toast to twenty twenty five on NBC. We're
just hosted by Today personalities Jenna Bush and Hoda Kotby,
and that's more of sort of an NBC centric I think,
not so much entertainment on that one. CNN, of course,
as we have for many years now, Andy Cohen from
(07:49):
Bravo teams up with Anderson Cooper to sort of get
a little toasty as they get into the new year.
They do that, yeah, and then they do that in
New York and then do reports across the globe. So
you'll see the way that all these other work those
countries are going to be bringing in the year. So
CNN has the wide focus, but I think most people
(08:10):
will be watching the entertainers on ABC that that is
the one that has, like you said, it is it
is the tradition that when I was a kid, it
was Guy Lombardo and it was very, very sedate. But
now ever since Dick Clark, Dick Clark did it, it'll
be a way to run to welcome in twenty twenty six,
which can't get here soon enough.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
If you ask me, Oh my goodness, Guy Lombardo, you
do there's grandma. I have my grandma watching that one.
We wanted to watch, Dick Clark. Do they do you know,
they do the one for the East Coast, do they
repeat it in the other time zones or do they
actually do some of those portions live again after.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
They they stay on pretty LATEV shows that there didn't
be like a one o'clock you know, our time would
be there, so an after show, or they might do
some repeat segments. But the way the idea though, of course,
is that this stuff is going to be continuing to
air an other time zone, that even maybe even Hawaii
gets to see some of this even as they're welcoming
the new year. Who knows. But yeah, but the TV
(09:07):
is one way of bringing in the new year, and yeah,
it's coming, like it or not?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
All right?
Speaker 4 (09:11):
And I got to put you on the spot here
to wrap things up, this link to your top ten
shows of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Our listeners can get that right yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
On tv insider dot com, which is our website, you
can see what I chose as my top ten shows.
If you want to quick run down for a second,
I will tell you that Apple TV did very well.
I had three shows from Apple on their severance, Pluribus
and The Studio, which won the Emmy for Best Comedy,
really great Hollywood satire. But my number one show is
(09:42):
The Pit and good News about Fans of The Pit,
which air on HBO Max. Hospital drama that brought Noah
Wyley back to the er. He won an Emmy. The
show won the Emmy for Best Drama. A terrific ensemble
show that set every season is set in one day,
one shift. Every hour is one hour episode, gripping, emotionally wrenching,
(10:03):
everything you want in a hospital drama and wonderful cast
in this show. Season two is coming on the Horizon
on one week from January first, which is January eighth.
They'll begin airing episodes weekly, fifteen episodes. This one kind
of breaks the streaming rules. This one feels more like
a regular network series on when they can push a
little bit further. It's a great show.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
And is it about the hospital or the emergency room
or the entire hospital?
Speaker 5 (10:27):
What is it? It is an ER show. Okay, the
pit is the sort of the it's set in Pittsburgh,
and that is sort of the jokey name for anything
where nothing is a joke in the er. But it
is basically an ER show. It kind of reinvents Er
in some ways when you think about what a huge
hit that was for NBC back in the day, made
Know a wiliest star, and now he and several people
(10:47):
who are producing the show also are veterans from the
regular Er series. But I think they've taken it to
a new level with the intensity of your following some
of these cases hour after hour in this one day,
So it doesn't have that sort of everything wraps up
in one hour. It just sort of escalates since you
follow some of these cases and some of these people
because they come into the er and then you know,
(11:09):
you have to like let things play out, and some
of them are quite emotional. It's a really great series,
but also just the cast is so good. These young
interns and now a new bunch of medical students, because
we've jumped forward ten months from the last season and
it's on the fourth of July, so a lot's happened
on the fourth of July. So that's the idea of
the second season of The Pit. It will probably be
(11:29):
on my list of top ten shows for next year too,
we'll see.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
All right, I'm gonna have to watch that one because
I need a new show. Matt Rash, how do we
connect with you?
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Well? TV Guide magazine and then daily on TV insider
dot com.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Thanks Matt, we'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Have a great new year, you too, talk to you then.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Alrighty, Chuck Ingram's in here at a twenty working on
the roads of Cincinna. What are you seeing? I am
seeing some pretty light traffic. Do they probably next week too?
I would think so sure.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
When you're gonna put the holidays on a Thursday, there's
not a whole lot of people that want to work
on a Friday, But you and I are here.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
That's well, yeah, there's three people here. You mean Sandy
in the newsroom. Oh we got Dana. Oh no, don't
forget yeah, heaven forbid? How could you forget Dane? I
couldn't forget him. No, But that's good light traffic next
week or so. That sounds good to me. From the
you see Health traffic center.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
You see Health, you'll find comprehensive care that's so personal
it makes your best tomorrow possible. That's boundless care for
better outcomes. Expect more had you see health dot com.

is a Bloomberg money minute. Did you do some last
minute holiday shopping in person? And notice some pretty crowded
stores because Telsey Advisory Group says the weekend before Christmas
was packed this year compared to earlier in the month
(13:48):
in some metros. The analyst there I also say sweaters
appear to be among this year's popular gifts. If you
got some gold jewelry as a holiday present, it could
be worth more already than when you got at Gold
and Silver this morning hitting new record all time highs
as the medals rally gains more momentum. As for Wall
Street Trading, doll this morning could come under some early pressure.
(14:09):

Speaker 4 (14:38):
Seven hundred WLWN, Cincinnati, Steve Hawkins. In this morning, I
thought we would go out to the Strong National Museum
of Play and talk to one of their curators, Merrik
Stoley with us.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Hey, good morning, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Hi, thank you for having me.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
If I understand.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Correctly, you guys are in charge of the National Toy
Hall of Fame, and every year at this time you
induct different toys and or board games and things like that.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Yes, that's correct.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
What did you induct this year?
Speaker 8 (15:12):
So this year we inducted two board games, so those
were Battleship and Trivial Pursuit, and then one toy Slime
though I guess toy is a broader label, but yes.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
So how do how do you how'd you get down
to those three? Did you start off with more toys
and games and weed it down?
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Yes, we start with many more.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
So there's a public submission period, so we have a
form on our website. We received more than twenty one
hundred nominations this year, and those were for three hundred
and eleven different toys.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
So from there we narrow that down to twelve.
Speaker 8 (15:50):
We have a committee of toy historians and experts from
the industry who narrow it down to twelve finalists and
then we vote on those with them to determine the
three inductees.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
And so there's is it three every year or can
it be more getting than inducted?
Speaker 8 (16:08):
I believe there have been one or two years where
we've done four, but it is typically three.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
He and what other toys or things are in the
Toy Hall of Fame?
Speaker 8 (16:19):
Oh, well, there are many things, a lot of things
you might expect. So in terms of like board games,
of course, we have Monopoly, the Game of Life, but
also things like Barbie, of course is in there, and
more unconventional toys, but things that I.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
Think are widely played with. We inducted sand within the
last five years or so. Yes, that was a big one.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
There was some controversy in the early two thousands, I
believe when we inducted the stick.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Things like the cardboard box.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
These very imaginative sort of toys that are they're very ubiquitous,
but they're not necessarily what we think of as toys.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Is slinky in there, That's a good question.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
I believe slinky is, but I'm not totally.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
That's all right.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I believe playdough was invented here in Cincinnati. I get
playto in the Strong National Museum of Play. Where are
you guys located.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
We are located in Rochester, New York.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
And it is a It is a museum.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
We can walk in and see everything hanging on the
walls and stuff.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Yes.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Absolutely, we are one of the largest history museums in
the country. We have many exhibits on all sorts of things, from.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
Toys to video games.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
You know, we focus on interactive sort of exhibits as well,
so a lot of things you can play with, you
can touch, but of course see lots of antique toys
and learn a lot of history as well.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
That's excellent. Battleship, trivial Pursuit, and Slime. I like slime.
All inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame, the National
Toy Hall of Fame. Merrek Slowly one of the curators there.
Thanks so much for your time this morning. I appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
Yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
All right, it's coming up at eight forty five, Chuck,
before we do traffic.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I was just wondering, have you played Battleship recently?
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Not recently, but I was kind of surprised that it
wasn't already in the I was gonna say I loved
battles I remember Light Bright. Oh yeah, Oh I loved
light Bright. Light Bright was special. Slime isn't you've stepped
on one of those pegs. It's like a lego or something. Yeah,
exactly what else is that? I was just looking them
up here? Transformers were inducted last year, my little pony
(18:32):
last year.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
The top.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Two years ago baseball cards were inducted. Is that a toy?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
I guess to some because I probably lost an awful
lot of money and rookie cards and bike spokes my kids.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
My kids over the over things, having holiday played risk
the whole week. Oh yeah, remember that one absolutely? And
Clue is big at my house. Clue, okay, Battleship. What
else I'm looking at here? The rubber duck, Yeah, thank you, Ernie.
The American girl dolls were in there too.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:05):

of places are hosting some New Year's party. Tell me

Speaker 9 (24:16):
Yeah, so they're recommending that you come by and enjoy
Pseudo Nano, which is a pretty good cover band. They
do a lot of stuff like Chris Dableton, Weezer and
a few others Radiohead and that. So that'd be a
nice way to go bring in the New Year over
at Little Miami and.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
One am I drinking at Little Miami. What are you
going to suggest for New Year's Eve?
Speaker 3 (24:38):

Speaker 4 (24:49):
Okay, Gilligans is that next? They're hosting twenty twenty six
Midnight in Dublin.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
Yeah, so if you don't want to stay up till midnight,
you can celebrate New Year's and we'll do a Dublin
ball drop at seven pm. Or if you're up for it,
they're also going to do one which is based with
the New York time at midnight, so you can make
your choice there and if you don't celebrate too much.
(25:19):
You can come back the next day and they're going
to have a brunch and if you do both events,
you get twenty percent off of your brunch.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
I like that midnight in Dublin. That's what I'll have
to do. I'll have to do the seven o'clock one.
At Gilligan's Opera House. They got a keg tapping going
on Wednesday night to thirty first at six o'clock.
Speaker 9 (25:38):
Yeah, so you know, just toys in with their normal
keg tapping for the month and they're doing their Schwarz
beer and that'll start at six o'clock. Then if you
can hang around, you're welcome to stint till midnight and
ring in the new Year. And I recommend you try
their German style meat loaf.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
That's what I do.
Speaker 4 (26:00):

Eve party at their Factory fifty two location.
Speaker 9 (27:00):

you haven't any chance to get there, that might be
a good way to check out their new location. And
then and then fifty West is doing an early ball
drop as well. Since they've got so many things themed
around the kids in that they thought it'd be a
good idea to do a seven pm ball drop over
(27:20):
there so you could show up do some stuff with
the kids.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Good over there on Wooster Pike.
Speaker 9 (27:25):

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
