in the solidly in the win column. Do you see
the game last week? They almost came all the way
back if not for a recovered on side offside kick

(05:55):
or on side kick out of bounds, Vanderbilt would have
had the ball with a chance to actually win that
game when they were down what two three scores earlier.

And they had a chance to hop on the ball
about three times and it was now squirting out everywhere.

the Alexa two nights in a row, uh huh. And
once she's on voice command and no one put her
own voice command, but her cell and I can't shut
her up. And she's on six hundred speed.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
So the phone is talking to you all the time.

Well, if you turn her own, and sometimes she turns
yourself on one o'clock in the morning, two start jibby jabbering,
like shut up over there.

Lene, Well, we had the Halloween party, we had the
Halloween pictures. Yesterday we played seven eleven. I never heard
of it. I said, what snake guys. They thought it
was being sponsored about cards and dice. Grandma burnt up

(09:32):
the cards. We didn't dare die any diet, buy any dice.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
So gambling was not permitted at home.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Oh, Demma was religious song who was a preacher, and
they were deacons and trustees. And we're in the quarter
five years old, so we just had fifty cent old
age and she burnt them up. We can't Blake, So cards.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Of any kind were evil, That's what she said. Yeah,
do you believe that?

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Oh? I made a game called threes for people who
can't read.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Uh huh.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
It's called you take three cards. You built each one
deals uh, one for me, one for the dealer, till
we get three cards and the highest number wins. I
did that ten years ago, down to Carrollton. So but
berthe was a hustler. So I want every game. You

(10:36):
tried to cussing me out. I said, hey, dude, you
didn't need the cards and I won. How could I
be cheating? He got so bad. I just like I said,
a simple game from a handicap, and you get mad
because you lost all three games we played here they
called Pat's Game.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Oh okay, So I mean you should You should patent
that you should in Pat's Game and maybe make some
money out of that.

Speaker 8 (11:04):
Nah.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Let those who are still gifts ideas. I got something
I called black eyes suit. When your guys get a
black eye, you take a third cup of oat, now
a cup of water, a tape of swimmer light brown shirt,
and chop up five raisins in your hand and you
put it in a little pant and simmer for an hour,

(11:30):
and when it's warm, you put on your black eye
and then thirty minutes it's gone. I had black knees
for thirty years. I smeared it on my black knees.
I got bread for knees again.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
It's amazing, it's amazing. It's amazing what I learned from
listening to you every Saturday morning. I never would have
imagined using raisins and all of that to cure a
black eye.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Yeah, the sugar in it, you know, here's abuses and stuff.
And I just used my abilities from having on ours.
Like your wife said, I may be extra terrestial, but
he's having born. And the good thing about the black
eyed soup is said, bout your kids eat it? You
know it on hurt and just keep it in refrigerator

(12:20):
or freeze it. I used her little one fourth of
pound cups from the Delhi That's what I kept mine
in because I had a black Avenue movie caron ten
years ago. First night, they said she's black and she
got a black eye or her family's gonna sew us.
And I called, Seally, come down, tell you I'm a

(12:42):
black eye. She didn't believe it. This guy walked me white.
I ain't gonna turn I told him I'm not blind.
I got faint looking eyes. They said he's gonna walk
you to your room and popped. He hit my face
in the facing of the door and then give me
a black eye the blink of a name.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Jeez, listen, is there anybody you want to say? Hi

Am I friend?

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Well? Dogs? Did you know dogs can't operate? Mr Machines,
Mr Mri?

Speaker 7 (17:30):
I did not know that.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, cats can. Day Dave, Dave, Dave, have you ever tried?
Have you ever tried to catch the fog? I tried once,
but I missed. Yeah, I missed yesterday. Yesterday I was

(17:57):
at the bank and an old lady asked me to
help her check her balance, so I pushed her over
for my friend Lou, who sent those to me.

Speaker 7 (18:12):
There you go?

Speaker 9 (18:13):
Did you know that?

Speaker 12 (18:15):
You know?

Speaker 13 (18:15):
I'm not sure, but I think it might have.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
Been Google's fifteenth birthday.

Speaker 13 (18:19):
Today, Right, I'm not sure, but then at fifteen year old,
and I've got an answer for everything. Yeah, every time
a new American idolist crown.

Speaker 12 (18:34):
There's one less Indian Contino booking available for Little Riverbank.

Speaker 7 (18:45):
That you know what.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
That may be the funniest joke you ever told on
this show in the entire time that we've been doing
this nonsense, you know what. And I and I think
we should just stop there? Can we just stop there? Yeah,
every time a new American idol winners crowned, there's one
less booking at Indian casinos for the Little Riverband. That

(19:09):
is classic, my friend.

Speaker 14 (19:10):
Jokes told by Dave from Harrison are not necessarily considered
funny by the staff, management, or advertisers of seven hundred
WLW or his parent company, iHeartMedia. If these attempts at
humor have caused you to roll your eyes, made your
stomach churn, or you have considered the entire exercise to
be a colossal waste of time, we deeply apologize. Now

(19:31):
back to our irregular program.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Today Morning edition for November eight Carrie Jeff with you
on seven hundred WLW. Thanks to Lou for the bad humor.
Dave just stunned me. He's never that funny. Good Morning
Old Radio, Rick Washburn, how are you today.

Speaker 13 (19:50):
Ricky times?

Speaker 9 (19:52):
Great?

Speaker 13 (19:52):
I don't have a joke that good.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
I mean that even Liam said that was genuinely funny.
I said, yeah, indeed, I mean there's there's there must
be some disturbance in the forest. There's something. Whoa okay, yeah,
I'm fine. Sorry, my goodness.

Speaker 13 (20:09):
Uh you the couch button fast enough?

Speaker 1 (20:12):
The couch button? Was that you who thought that was
the couch button? Who said it was me?

Speaker 7 (20:20):
That it was me?

Speaker 13 (20:21):
The button was worn down and I looked down as
a couch oh cough.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Oh yeah, I'm staring at it right now. I'm going
I can understand how you can make that that that mistake.

Speaker 13 (20:35):
Somebody must have been quite ill who sat there before me?
Because they scratched most of the g off.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Are you saying that they wore out the g spot
on the cough button?

Speaker 13 (20:51):
Hey you're coming in five by five? Nineteen twenty seven, Crowsley,
this is a AC seven model, and which makes sense.
AC seven naturally you would realize it's a six to
two radio.

Speaker 12 (21:06):
Wait what yeah?

Speaker 13 (21:08):
Yeah again nineteen twenty seven. This thing is beautiful gorgeous
walnut cabinet with this slanted front, a meter with the
red markings and warnings not to not to turn it
up to eleven. Basically, as your storage batteries die, then
you can just keep turning this knob up to try
to keep the radio working. Okay, and seventy dollars in

(21:29):
nineteen twenty seven, So I'm mere thirteen hundred dollars for
an AM radio and you get to supply your own speaker.
But I thought this was really interesting. I'm jumping around
a little bit here. A cutout from a nineteen twenty
seven catalog says, skillfully engineered incorporating advanced radio ideas, beautifully

(21:50):
built and finished to grace the finest homes, and moderately
priced because of methods of mass production, have produced tremendous
economies in their manufacturer. Well, obviously the marketing team wrote
this because incorporating advanced radio ideas. Now we go to
the tag that's in the lid of this receiver and

(22:11):
in christine condition, I'm proud to say regenerative receiver Crossley
AC seven manufacture under Armstrong US Patents nineteen fourteen for
Radio Amateurs for use in radio amateur stations, to radio
experimenters and to scientific schools or universities for use in
experimental and scientific schools or university radio stations. What's missing

(22:37):
there that would be your home. This is one of
those regenerative detective receivers that will sing because it's got
a very powerful oscillator in it or two. And as
a result, your neighbors may not be able to receive
radio stations because they're going to receive your radio instead,
and it's just going to squeal like a banshee. And

(23:00):
sure enough, I'd turn on a few other radios around
the shop and yeah, I'm not picking up anything when
this thing was on. This was one of the radios
that were targeted for the infamous nineteen twenty nine bonfire
to get rid of these things, because if you had one,
it was great, unless your neighbors had one, and then
nobody was going to pick up anything.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
That's crazy. That's crazy, that's right. I remember you telling
me about the Great Radio Bonfire of nineteen twenty seven
on a nightcap, and that story still just blows me away.
They had to burn the radios because they were ruining
reception all around the country.

Speaker 13 (23:40):
Brings a tear to my eye every time I think
about it. Save the tube, save the tubes.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
And apparently someone did, since you have it working.

Speaker 13 (23:51):
Oh yeah, yeah, And this is no small feat because
this takes all six tubes or a number ninety nine,
and those things are very fragile and not all that
common because once the regenerator detectors and very early TRF
style radios went away, so did that tube. So there's

(24:13):
some folks that have come up with adapters to use
different tubes in there and so forth. But out of
the I don't know tens of radios, is a dozens,
hundreds scores of radios that I have. I was able
to cobble together a full set of six.

Speaker 9 (24:29):
So that's tough for you man.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
All right, Old Radio Rick at gmail dot com. If
you'd like to know more about these beauties that we
talk about every Saturday morning with Rick Washburn, it is
six nineteen some change, lovely village of Ripley, Ohio. How
now Brown County Today the gang from Brookies is on
a remote at Leasta's Wayside and in Russellville, Ohio, and

(24:54):
we joined them. Now, good morning gang, good So what
what precipitated this move to Lisa's Wayside end this morning.
Darren doesn't cook breakfast.

Speaker 7 (25:12):
Now. I have heard.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
I have heard that the pancakes at Lisa's wayside in
in Russellville are so large that people cannot finish them.
What I mean, it's like the size of a whole
plate from what I saw in the pictures. Is that correct?

Speaker 9 (25:32):
It is?

Speaker 12 (25:33):
You have eat the center out of it.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Now, Now, Lisa, I have a question. This is the
second time the gang from Brookies has made their way
to your establishment, giving you, by the way, free advertising
that you would not get any more. Yeah. Uh so,
I think since it's on my show, you should have

(25:59):
a Gary Jeff Walker's special at Lisa's wayside in in
Russellville that people could order.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
And I just.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
So here here's what Here's what I would want on
the Gary Jeff Special. Okay, I want a poached egg
with with Holland Day's sauce on a piece of country
ham biscuit sized slice of fried country ham on an

(26:34):
English muffin. And that would be the Gary Jeff Walker Special.
Can you do that?

Speaker 3 (26:42):
You come down and get it?

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Well, I mean, well, I'm kind of tied up right now, Lisa.
Tomorrow you know, I'd have to ask the wife. You
got to ask the boss before you make any decisions.
Like but but I'm just saying maybe this could be
a regular thing on the menu that people would go.

(27:06):
I heard that you have the Gary Jeff Walker Breakfast Special.
You could set any price that you want on it.
You know, just a little biscuit sized slice of country
ham with a poached egg Hollandais sauce. It's kind of
like Gary Jeff benedict on an English muffin. I think

(27:27):
it would be a big hit, so you think, so.

Speaker 9 (27:30):
Okay, we'll start in Monday.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
We'll put it on the menu.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Okay, all right, just you gotta go. Oh no, I
absolutely will make I will clear away my schedule so
that I can be there for the Gary Jeff Walker Special.
What's that.

Speaker 9 (27:50):
You just take the new old Road and it'll right here.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah, this is this is another thing that's curious from Ripley.
To get to Russellville, you've got to take You've got
to take the new You've got to take the new Highway. Now,
the new Highway is like sixty years old, but they
still call it the new Highway.

Speaker 7 (28:13):
No, yeah, you ought to ride on the open.

Speaker 9 (28:16):
What's that You got to take the old ones?

Speaker 10 (28:19):
They're gone.

Speaker 8 (28:22):
There?

Speaker 1 (28:22):
So the old highway still exists?

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Oh yeah, well yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
I mean.

Speaker 9 (28:31):
Longer.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
I bet, I bet there have been people who've taken
the old Highway and never quite made it to their destination.
I'll just bet.

Speaker 7 (28:43):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
So you're you're open for breakfast? What six days a week? Lisa?

Speaker 5 (28:50):
Huh six days a week, six days a week, all right?

Speaker 1 (28:54):
And what what time do you open up?

Speaker 13 (28:57):
Five thirty, five thirty?

Speaker 1 (28:59):
It's perfect, that's when I That's when I open up
on Saturday mornings at five thirty. And again i'd be there,
but I'm a little bit busy right now here. You
understand that, right, yeah?

Speaker 3 (29:08):
But you can get breakfast into any time in the day.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Oh see, breakfast anytime. That's a huge seller for people. Lisa,
This is good. And I know to get those guys there,
you've got to also be serving alcohol this early? Are
you is Matt Miller's.

Speaker 7 (29:32):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (29:33):
I figured you were, Matt. It's like, don't don't fill
my stuffach with no pancakes. I need some Captain Morgan
now stat.

Speaker 13 (29:48):
That's here too, Hi boss a birthday? Yeah, this guy
you're older this week.

Speaker 7 (29:54):
Yeah, yeah, b.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Well, you guys sound like you're having a ball and
if you'd like to join them, they'll be there probably
for the next I don't know, three hours trying to
eat one of Lisa's pancakes the wayside in in Russellville
this morning for the gang from Ripley. Thanks guys, talk
to you soon.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
Bye bye.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
This guy has been part of this program, first via
email and via phone call for the last several years,
with insightful commentary of historical significance and sometimes relevant to
the news stories, many times relevant to the news stories

(30:42):
that occur right now. And he is back again for
another little taste for all of us of a pithy
phone call from a place known as Etna, Ohio. My
friend Steve Simon rejoins the show. Good morning Steve, Good
morning Gary, Jeff. The real war for the GOP is Republicans.

(31:05):
One of the national guys this week reminded me of Pogo.
We have bet the enemy and he is us.

Speaker 8 (31:13):
You may remember that in the twenty twenty presidential defeat,
if just half of the registered Republicans in Arizona and
Nevada had voted in those two Senate races, the GOP
would have picked up two Senate seats This year. Six

(31:36):
hundred thousand Republicans sat on their hands in New Jersey
and Virginia. If half of those had shown up, many
races would have gone the other way. Do Republicans not
realize what's at state? Pundits say if Trump isn't on

(31:58):
the ballot, servitors don't care about the race. They should.
Trump can't accomplish his agenda if he doesn't get down
ballot support. The most visible element in Tuesday was the
one similarity Mom Donnie and Trump have besides being New Yorkers.

(32:23):
They know what their constituents want to hear, and they've
got the charisma to deliver it. It's like comparing FDR
and Ronald Reagan, same style, different message. As for the
split boat Tuesday, that destroyed any chance, excuse me of

(32:45):
the defeating Mom Donny. If you combine Cuomo and Sleiwis tally,
it comes within a percentage point of Mom Donni. So
he would have won anyway with one of them, presumably
Curtis Sliwak dropping out. Remember another New Yorker's famous comment

(33:07):
about winning versus.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Losing, William F.

Speaker 8 (33:11):
Buckley, picked the most conservative candidate who can win. As
for Cuomo, he ran a terrible campaign where he never
defined clearly early on the rich difference between himself and
Mom Donnie. It was a fool's errand I was born

(33:35):
and spent half my youth of the Big Apple, so
the changes I see really stick. A little history, New
York City has always been a melting pot. The Muslims,
mostly businessmen, arrived in New Amsterdam in the sixteen hundreds,

(33:56):
almost the same time Sephardic jew escaping persecution in Portugal
arrived in sixteen fifty four. They actually got along quite well.
There was a huge influx of Brits, Irish and Germans

(34:19):
from the eighteen forties of the eighteen sixties. It was
a tense situation between the Irish and the Blacks. That
feud was not universal. I pointed out some time ago
on this show that escaped American slave Frederick Douglas and
other freed blacks frequently visited Ireland, where Douglas noticed that

(34:42):
he was treated with respect and as an equal, and
where his statue was dedicated in nineteen twenty three in Belfast.
That was the first year of Irish independence from Britain.
What we have now in New York is class warfare.

(35:04):
One of every eight recent immigrants to this country resides
in New York City. They will not be assimilated the
way immigrants were in the past. They don't want to
be On the surface, You'd think mon Dami would welcome
Trump's stopping the flow. It would have eased the city's

(35:28):
financial burden, but that would interfere with massive voter registration. Republicans,
we have to stay focused. Thanks Gary, Jeff, I'll talk
to you next.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Week, I hope god willing. Steve, thank you very much.
He makes some excellent points. But you also have to
understand that in New York York City and many places
that tend to trend blue politically, there are no voter
ID laws. How many times did someone vote for Mom

(36:14):
Donny in New York and were they registered voters? Were
they real voters? Who knows? Six fifty one, seven hundred
behind on mortgage payments facing on Saturday mornings here on
seven hunderd WLW Since February of nineteen ninety seven, and

(36:37):
in that time going on twenty nine years now, I
have had the great fortune to meet a lot of
you who listen. We kind of share this space together
on the weekends. And one of the reasons that there
is the connectivity I feel that I have that we

(37:00):
have together is because it almost feels like a family.
And the people who call in every week and the
people I've had the chance to be lucky enough to
meet through this show, and I'm eternally grateful for that,
grateful to God that He's given me this opportunity. And

(37:21):
we have been being My wife and I have been
pretty much an open book about stuff that was important
that may be important to other people in their lives.
Three years ago, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer
and we told you about it. Christ has been on

(37:44):
with me talking about it and up until well up
until a couple of weeks ago, she was celebrating three
years of being cancer free from that experience. Her every
six month mammogram a couple of weeks ago, and they

(38:06):
found two little spots in her left breast. This time
first time it was right. So we went from the
elation of celebrating three years cancer free to understanding that
we are going to be dealing with this again, and
we are dealing with it. It's in her body, but

(38:27):
she is my wife. I love her, and I will
be there with her through this. So that being said,
I want to let you know that after a day
or two of getting the confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer

(38:47):
once again and being numbed by that, she has regained
her fighting spirit the one she had the first time
when after a couple of days of what anyone would

(39:10):
be going through, depression, anxiety, worry, fear. Those may still
be present, but she's ready to kick its butt again
and I know she will. And I know you're listening. Christa.
I love you, and you have the support not only

(39:31):
of me, not only of our family, but I know
you have the support of this extended radio family that
we're sharing this news with. Now it's going to be
all right, and we appreciate all of your prayers and
all of your encouragement as we go through this odyssey

(39:54):
once again. Second verse same as the first, and I
know the outcome is going to be the same in
the end. I have faith in God, and I have
faith in my wife, and I have faith in the doctors.
As Yeah, it's life, you know it. You go through

(40:15):
stuff like this all the time. Five fifty eight seven
Hunderd WLD that official miss good morning. It is seven
h five Eastern, that is six oh five Central. My
friend Andy Freman called me during the news break and said,

(40:36):
that was beautiful what you said, but it's six fifty eight,
not five fifty eight. And I said, we I speak
to people who were in the Central time zone all
the time on this show. Andy, it's a big signal.
I was referring to them, not us here in Cincinnati.

(40:58):
But now that I can read a clock correct it
is another hour of the Saturday Morning edition for this Saturday,
November eighth, twenty twenty five. I'm Gary Jeff Walker, and
you're not and aren't you happy about that? You should be.
It is time to talk to our environmental engineer friend

(41:20):
about the climate and about other things. Steve Shulty, good morning,
and I first and foremost want to wish you and
your lovely bride Robin, a happy anniversary. It was yesterday
and then we're coming up, as you mentioned in your text,
seven years since you met online at catholicmatch dot com.

(41:44):
And I know it's been a wonderful ride for both
of you, who both lost your spouses, your other spouses
and have found each other. It's a great love story
and it continues. Congratulations, thank you.

Speaker 5 (42:01):
Very much, Gary, Jeff, you have five years yesterday. It's
just amazing how time is flying. It does that it
is And so anyway, onto.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
The yes, onto the subject at hand.

Speaker 7 (42:19):
It is the first one.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
It is time to stop wind power eagle kill permits.
I agree.

Speaker 5 (42:27):
So this comes from the c fact dot org, a
study done by David Wadjacks, PhD. And what people don't realize,
nearly fifteen years ago, our dear US Fish and Wildlife
Service determined that the Golden eagle population could not withstand

(42:48):
an increase in human cause mortality.

Speaker 13 (42:51):
However, because we.

Speaker 5 (42:52):
Have we had a large number of proposed wind projects
that sought termits exempting them from harm that may be
caused under the Bold and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Permits
that actually increased the killer rate in response are what's
called the fws crated an offset program in which eagle

(43:14):
deaths caused by wind turbans. I called them food processors
in the sky really because that's what they are would
purportedly be compensated by reducing electrocution deaths from power poles.
Apparently we know that this is completely failed. For this report,
and there's no been no measurable reduction in electrocution death

(43:35):
likely caused this bureaucracy. The FWS uses a widely and
accurate electrocution rate as a result, the number of power
poles made safe. It's just a tiny that's required for
a legitimate offset. Currently the bureaucracy requires only two hundred
and seventy eight poles to be quote unquote made safe

(43:57):
per wind killed eagle. The correct number, according to the
results from this report, may be closer to sixty seven
thousand power poles. So no wonder the program has failed.
So what Uh, just one of the realizations. We have
over one hundred million power poles in the United States.

(44:20):
So you know, it's just it's crazy. Uh. And not
only that, Gary, Jeff, what the report tells you? And
you know there's a lot to this report.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
You need to break it down into into layman's terms
so people can't fully understand what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (44:38):
Well, the other aspect of this, these permits imagine an
industry that kills thousands or tens of thousands of protected
birds a year, but the numbers steadily growing. The government
tracks this by keeping the data secret to protect the producers. So,
Gary Jeff, we have a bureaucracy out there that collects

(45:01):
this data from all these different sites that these sites
are required to do and report, but none of the
data is available.

Speaker 12 (45:12):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (45:13):
Not only that people have tried through the was it
the Information Acts to get this information, and one organization
did and they got like twelve hundred pages, but only
about two hundred was readable. The rest was redacted. Now,

(45:35):
Gary Jeff, if this was uh a nuclear power plant,
a cold power plant, or just any other industrial power
UH plant around and it was killing this number of
golden eagles as well as bald eagles, what would they

(45:55):
be allowed to keep all.

Speaker 13 (45:57):
This data secret via the government?

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Of course not, because it's all about the narrative and
the agenda. Fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are bad, Nuclear power
is bad. Wind power, well, that's sustainable energy. We have
to have wind power that doesn't work, is too expensive
and can't provide the energy we need.

Speaker 15 (46:18):
We have to have it.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
Then, not just golden and bald eagles, which are protected,
as you mentioned by all these laws. If you know,
accidentally shot one in your backyard, the Feds would be
there in about five minutes to hauld you in and
put you under the jail. But all the other wildlife

(46:41):
and birds that are killed every day by these wind turbans,
it's ludicrous. It's hypocritical, and it's all about agendas and
the narrative they want to push at any given time.
And it's really sting.

Speaker 9 (47:00):
Yes, And it's all about the money.

Speaker 13 (47:03):
Sure, it's all about the money.

Speaker 5 (47:06):
They want to protect what they're getting.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
And oh yeah, oh anyway, and I saw this other
thing real quick. We don't have a whole lot of time,
but on my history notes today. In twenty thirteen, Typhoon
high End, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded,
slammed into the Central Philippines, leaving more than seven seventy
three hundred people dead or missing, flattening villages, displacing more

(47:32):
than five million people. Your question is, what does a
record hurricane really mean?

Speaker 5 (47:40):
Or what does record breaking mean? I was watching a
my wife and I were watching a program last night,
and part.

Speaker 9 (47:48):
Of it was dealing with the dust bowl.

Speaker 5 (47:50):
And in the program that made a statement I've not
double checked or fact checked it, but it said it
was beginning in the early thirties, it was the worst
drought in over one thousand years for North America. Well,
my question is, uh, we're a Native Indians keeping track
of droughts.

Speaker 11 (48:11):
A thousand years ago.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
But Daniel, it's a point, this is why they had
rain dances. But could please continue?

Speaker 5 (48:24):
But no, The point is, you know, what does a
record and what does it mean over how many years?

Speaker 11 (48:31):
And how do we really really really know?

Speaker 7 (48:34):
We don't.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
We don't really really really know that Hurricane Melissa was
the strongest supposedly on record, because the reality.

Speaker 13 (48:44):
Is we haven't been a we've been tracked.

Speaker 5 (48:45):
We have not been tracking hurricanes and getting actual, very
real data, not estimated since at earliest nineteen sixty six
and seventy two, when these satellites got the first images.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
To predict weather patterns.

Speaker 5 (49:03):
But really it wasn't until the seventies with what's called
quick SAT in TRMM satellite that started the technology. And
in the reality, we really didn't do hurricane tracking to
the degree we're doing today.

Speaker 13 (49:17):
Until the early two thousands.

Speaker 9 (49:20):
Yeah, well, Stee, this this bokop.

Speaker 5 (49:22):
Had to realize the day that we're getting now never
existed thirty forty years ago.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
Let me just a real quick addendum to what we're
saying here, on the planet Jupiter. That big red eye
is a swirling storm, hurricane of methane and whatever gases.

Speaker 5 (49:43):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
I don't think that they are any fossil fuels being
burned on Jupiter to cause this record breaking storm that's
been going on for thousands of years. Steve Shelty, thank
you so much, my friend. Congratulations to you and Robin again,
and we will talk soon. It's say seven fourteen now
it's seven hundred WLW listening, and that mad man is

(50:06):
our friend Tom Davids with wild waggy stories from all
over the country and all over the world. Here's your correspondent.

Speaker 16 (50:13):
Good morning, Gary Jeff this week my what milky armpits
you have. But first, the world's largest spider web has
been found. Imagine if you will, a spider web that
is one thousand, one hundred and forty square feet wide,
located deep within a cave on the Greek Albanian border.
The web a joint project of one hundred and eleven

(50:36):
thousand spiders, all living in a real life nightmare inducing harmony.
Turning to celebrity news, something we don't often talk about,
but we feel we are forced to given the absurdity
of this week's news, basketball great Charles Barkley told People
magazine that he no longer wears underwear. Fine, that's creepy enough,

(50:59):
but the really range part is what he did with
the underwear that he.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Used to wear.

Speaker 16 (51:03):
He says he gathered them in a pile and had
a bonfire. He says, quote it was a big fire, unquote.
Charles Barkley also says he will go commando for the rest.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
Of his life. It's good to have goals.

Speaker 16 (51:19):
Speaking of overachievers, so Wisconsin teacher is in trouble after
he showed up to school drunk. The poor guy got
out of his car and started stumbling around while onlookers took.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
In the show.

Speaker 16 (51:30):
When the cops got there, they told the guest guide
to get in the car. He was overheard telling police
that they had the wrong guy. And finally, a thirty
five year old Filipino woman is going viral because her
armpits are leaking milk. She's showing off her extra breast
tissue like a ech topic breast tissue to.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
The whole online world.

Speaker 16 (51:52):
She is not pregnant, nor is she nursing, but that
hasn't stopped her armpits from bringing forth the literal life
giving mother's milk.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
Doctors say it's rare but not harmful.

Speaker 16 (52:04):
Next week, Minnesota man arrested for chainsawing while naked.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
Have a great weekend into yet another hour of the
Saturday Morning edition for this Saturday, November the eighth, twenty
twenty five, Carry Jeff Welcome by your side another Saturday
Morning together. It's great to be with you six minutes
after the hour, and why it's that time to talk

(52:29):
to our friend science Mike. So we can play the
intro music and then we'll welcome him onto the air
with us. I think that's how it works.

Speaker 8 (52:41):
I think yes, as a night scientist surprising it the
bell blinded.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
Me, Michael. Is that how it works? We play the
intro music and then you come on the air. Is
that is that the right order?

Speaker 9 (52:53):
Well, when you got a barefoot producer.

Speaker 12 (52:57):
Producers and and and the defense of him, I do
have an extra pair of shoes in the in the
vand so.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
You know, look, I know he is from he's from
is it Kenton County? Liam? Correct, He's from Kenton County.
So you know, there are some things that just it's
in the water, or it happens at birth. You know,
it's not really a gene pool out there. It's more
of a gene puddle.

Speaker 12 (53:27):
I gotta be careful because I think I'm married to a.

Speaker 9 (53:31):
Kent County.

Speaker 12 (53:34):
Yeah, I think it's Campbell, Campbell.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
County, Campbell. You're fine, it's out. It's out there in
Independence in that area. You know, it gets a little,
uh gets a little dicey. So anyway, what's on your mind? Well,
here were you.

Speaker 12 (53:49):
We got something that I don't think that whatever be
on a vacation plan to go see like the largest
second largest ball of twine in the country or anything
like this. But uh, they discovered the largest ever spider web.
Really this thing is a thousand square feet and they
found it in over in Greece the Albania border by

(54:12):
this Czech Spieleeological Society. They do cave, uh you know,
troops and go in and look for check what's going up.
And they went to the software cave and they found
this spider web and they had almost seventy thousand Tiginaria
domestic spiders which are house spiders, and forty two thousand

(54:34):
prenier Agoni vagan spiders living, which is oddly oddly enough,
they've been living together and this spider web and it's.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
A spider it's a spider complex, a spider apartment exactly.

Speaker 12 (54:48):
And they can't figure out where they were getting their
food from because it wasn't coming in from the from
anning flying in, and wasn't they weren't living on was it?

Speaker 1 (54:58):
Was it possible they were they were eating each other?

Speaker 12 (55:02):
No, no, they were. They're eating microbes which were being
fed upon by what they call coronamic flies. I mean,
you know what happens to a fly and around a
spider wab right, yeah, so right, So these things they
developed and grew down in this cave, and they're getting
bigger every day. So I don't think it, Uh not

(55:22):
lease on my might want to see list, but just
one of the interesting nature things they find out there.
You start looking.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
That's crazy and I have I have a certain level
of a rachnophobia. I'm not a big spider fan. Do
you realize? And I don't know if this is true
or not, but I heard this. It may have been debunked.
But wherever you are in the world, you're within X
number of feet of some kind of spider because they

(55:51):
are they are everywhere.

Speaker 9 (55:54):
Literally, I get a lizard.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
Well, I mean that would be one solution to the problem. Yes, yeah,
a thousand square feet of spiderweb. Yeah, so crazy, no doubt.
Thank you, Michael. Ten minutes past the hour, and let's
go to Brother Rick Green on a Saturday morning with
a verse from the Word of God the Bible. Brother Green,

(56:23):
good morning.

Speaker 9 (56:25):
Hey, good morning, Gary. I tant him for a minute.
I was in the basement and the stigma drop. I'll
become a stair Okay, I'm up stairs and I got
you all.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
Right, vin it good. It's good to have you back.
I never knew you went away.

Speaker 9 (56:42):
Greg's are not how old I am?

Speaker 6 (56:44):
You?

Speaker 9 (56:44):
Hear me breathing, holler?

Speaker 1 (56:46):
Yeah, you sound great.

Speaker 7 (56:49):
Okay.

Speaker 9 (56:51):
So today Gary, we have birth. John chapter two, verse six.
It says whoever claims to it in him must live
as Jesus did.

Speaker 1 (57:04):
Jerry, that's deep, and that's hard.

Speaker 9 (57:07):
If we want to hold onto any part of ourselves,
it's impossible.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
Yes, that's true. But if you have faith and you
keep yourself in the Word, it's much easier. And that's
the thing, you know, it's a process. It doesn't happen
all at once, and by the way, happy birthday. This
past week, the anniversary of your birth happened, and I
am so thrilled that you are with us and going strong.

Speaker 9 (57:37):
Rick, thank you. Praise sixty two of the magic number,
because that's the year you can retire from food district.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
Are those are those in your plans?

Speaker 9 (57:52):
Actually? November twenty sixth as my last day?

Speaker 1 (57:55):
I got two weeks, no kidding, well, congratulations on that.

Speaker 9 (58:01):
Praise God.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
Are you gonna are you? Are you going to do
anything else?

Speaker 9 (58:05):
I'm asking to expand my ministry. I want to do
more with the homeless. I would like to call them
and a high game, items and shoes. I'm asking God,
how can I spamd my ministry?

Speaker 1 (58:19):
Well, let me know if there's any way I can help,
and we'll certainly help you publicize that I think. I
think the feeding the homeless, that that mission that you've
been on for the last how many every years is
wonderful and you obviously have that calling. So whatever whatever
you need, I'm sure ultimately God will provide.

Speaker 9 (58:41):
Rick. Hey man, I'm acquaying that. Gary.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
All right, all right, take care, brother, have a great week,
have a day you two, and now time for that Teresa.

Speaker 9 (58:55):
And greetings, and so go ahead.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
I'm sorry, no, no, no, fine, it's a stupid delay.
We've got.

Speaker 9 (59:03):
Oh, okay, greetings and should I talk before or now?

Speaker 6 (59:09):
Greetings and salutations?

Speaker 9 (59:11):
Carrie.

Speaker 1 (59:11):
Yes, just keep talking, you just keep talking. Yeah, we
can handle that.

Speaker 6 (59:19):
Good morning or good Lord, keep talking.

Speaker 5 (59:22):
My husband loves.

Speaker 3 (59:27):
Well.

Speaker 9 (59:27):
Where was that?

Speaker 1 (59:28):
I don't know. It said constipation with belly pain. I
think the computer decided. The computer decided to interrupt you, of.

Speaker 6 (59:36):
All the things, to interrupt me with constipation and belly
pain your husband.

Speaker 9 (59:43):
You were saying, my husband loves me when I'm sleeping,
because that's the one time.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
I talked to lead.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
You're not talking.

Speaker 7 (59:52):
No, I do talk, but let a lot less, a
lot less.

Speaker 6 (59:55):
Good morning christ to point.

Speaker 7 (01:00:02):
Oh my god, how can I love you anymore? Christa,
Oh my god, I love you.

Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
Gary.

Speaker 9 (01:00:08):
Jeffkiver, my numbers will talk to her and I'll talk, okay.

Speaker 6 (01:00:13):
Frankie, squeak, squeak, buddy, how to go when you pour
a little kid to you?

Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
After last week's a good guy fan debacle.

Speaker 9 (01:00:20):
I'm craving that now.

Speaker 6 (01:00:23):
Aloge to the gang in Brookies special Grazi to radio
wreck from my radio.

Speaker 7 (01:00:27):
The word of the day we.

Speaker 6 (01:00:29):
Will get to It is not a linguistical challenge.

Speaker 7 (01:00:32):
It is not a tongue twister.

Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
It is love l o v E.

Speaker 6 (01:00:40):
Besides love meaning never to have your to say you're sorry, preppy,
it means so simple, guys.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
You feel deep affection for something that is a verb.

Speaker 9 (01:00:51):
It's a great interest and pleasure in something. I love
my time with you. I love the people that you
have on God, bless you have a good day.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
It's almost guaranteed now that Teresa chiming, and we're gonna
come up with theme music for her. Eight nineteen seven
under WLW, he.

Speaker 16 (01:01:14):
Was a radio seven hundred WLW Good Morning kids.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
Time for gifts for Wally. Another milestone. Older woman saddles
up to the bar and asks the bartender for a
scotch and two drops of water. The bartender fixes her
drink and as he slides it to her, she says,
it's my eightieth birthday today and I'm here to celebrate.

(01:01:41):
The bartender says, well, in that case, it's on the house.
Happy birthday. As she finishes the drink, a woman to
her right says, well, happy birthday. You know what, bartender,
I'd like to buy her a drink too, and the
old woman says, all right, bartender, I'll take another Scotch
with two drops the water. Bartender says okay, serves her

(01:02:04):
the drink, and as she's finishing the second drink, the
man to her left says, that look like alows if
I didn't buy I'm the only one I hadn't bought
you a drink. Happy birthday, bartender. The old woman says,
a scotch with two drops of water. Barkeep, he said,
coming right up, and he gives her the drink. Says ma'am,

(01:02:26):
I'm kind of curious here, Why scotch with only two
drops of water? And the old lady says, Sonny, at
my age and learn, you can hold your liquor, but
you really can't hold your water. Morning. I don't believe
he's staying in an embassy suite. The bear Cats have
a bye week in football, but the vanguard of Saturday

(01:02:51):
morning sports talk on this program is up and ready
to talk about whatever I throw at him, which is
an amazing in quality to have, and he seems to
have that in spades. Moe Egger's back, Hey Mo, what's up?
Oh well, I mean like you're not in Utah, so
I mean that's something. No, you got that going for
us UH and bear Cats football not playing this weekend?

Speaker 12 (01:03:17):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
You got the off week correct?

Speaker 10 (01:03:21):
Correct?

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
And were you at the ball game last night? Basketball?

Speaker 7 (01:03:27):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
How did the bear Cats look against Georgia State?

Speaker 7 (01:03:35):
Not great? I think Wes Miller would be the first
to admit that. In fact, he did after the game
last night. They won the game, there were some positive developments.
Anyone who about Miller yet, I think it's really going
to enjoy what they see from him. But the Bearcats
turned it over. You know, Folks sometimes focus on the

(01:03:56):
number of turnovers. I focus on turnover percentage, the percentage
of possessions that ended a turnover. Cincinnati had twenty one
point eight percent last night possessions ended a turnover five.

Speaker 9 (01:04:10):
That's wow. Good enough.

Speaker 7 (01:04:11):
Yeah, they haven't been and that would have been just
for context, that would have been dead last in college
baskettball last season. Had that been what they did for
an entire year. So that's not good enough. They haven't
shot it well from three yet. I think it's a
better shooting team than they've shown so far. There's a
lot of free throws last night. I think they missed
nineteen over their first two games. So it was a

(01:04:34):
victory and at the end of the day, I guess
that's all that counts. But they were twenty nine and
a half point favorites and they won by ten. They
have to play much better against the Day and Flyers
on Tuesday night.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
Yeah, Well, what's the uh? What's the early verdict on
Richard Patino's Xavier team? What have we seen so far?
What do we expect?

Speaker 7 (01:04:55):
H I hate to say this, and you know, take
with a grain of salt, because I think folks who
know me know I love the Bearcats. It feels like
it's going to be a long year on Victory Parkway.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
And that is no.

Speaker 7 (01:05:09):
Indictment on Richard Patino. It's just it doesn't feel like
he has the dudes that he needs to compete in
the Big East. They have won their first two games.
They made the plays they needed to make down the
stretch against both maris To and Le Moyne. I just
don't know where their offense is gonna come from when
they start to play really, really good teams, and there's

(01:05:31):
a bunch of them in the Big East. That said,
I think Richard Patino has handled the expectations that come
with ding Xavier's basketball coach. Pretty well, it just feels like,
and I could be dead wrong about this, I hope
I am. It just feels like this season is going
to be a little bit of a struggle. In the
first two games, even though they have won, I think

(01:05:52):
would be reflective of that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
All Right, we got that out of the way. The
two Cincinnati schools of noted, how about let's travel down
to Lexington and what what does Mark Pope have for
us with this year's edition of the Kentucky Wildcats. What
are you seeing? What's what's the prognosis?

Speaker 7 (01:06:10):
Really fun offensive team? When when they are clicking offensively,
That's kind of been a hallmark of Mark Pope's teams
wherever he's been, including to a degree last year in Lexington.
When they are clicking offensively, they are really fun to watch.
I didn't see a con of their game last night,
but from what I saw, offensively, especially in the half court,

(01:06:32):
they can really really click and so you know it's
going to be interesting. They played the Louisville Cardinals, who
I think are going to be really good on Tuesday night.
I think it's the earliest Kentucky and Louisville have played.
We're going to get a very early season look at
both those teams and get a glimpses to how good
they are are they are.

Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
They the kind of team that can run another team
out of the gym if they're clicking, as you mentioned,
I think so. Yeah, Yeah, that's that's a good sign
for UK fans. All right, let's move on to the
Reds moves this week and your takeaway on Bruce Souter
and the other players which may not be coming back.

Speaker 7 (01:07:10):
Austin has Yeah, Austin Hayes was a nice acquisition last year.
They got him to hit against lefties. I think it
was pretty much a foregone conclusion the moment you saw
what the structure of his deal looked like before last
season that he wasn't going to come back in twenty
twenty six. Scott Barlow was used a lot this past season,

(01:07:31):
ended up being a pretty nice acquisition, but had he
come back under the terms of the deal he was under,
it would have been for six point five million dollars.

Speaker 11 (01:07:40):
That wasn't going to happen.

Speaker 7 (01:07:41):
And Brent Souter is a terrific guy, and I think
there's potentially a role for him on the team next season.
But I think given what it would have cost, it
made sense for them to look elsewhere. They're not going
to raise the payroll this year. I think that was
the big takeaway from Nick Ross this week, and so
I feel like this offseason is going to look a

(01:08:02):
lot like last offseason, where they acquire free agents who
maybe don't cost nearly as much. But I also think
we're going to spend a lot of time this offseason
talking about them potentially trading from their surplus, and they
do have a very very enviable collection of, you know,
either young or in their prime starting pictures. I think

(01:08:22):
if they acquire a big bat from somewhere, it's going
to mean they move a picture to go get one.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
You surprised that there hasn't been any discernible change in
the Bengals outlook during the bye week. I thought maybe
after that collapse last week. I mean, Joe Flacco, literally
at forty years old, has the performance of his NFL

(01:08:49):
career last week offensively passing and the offense and everything
that the Bengals did on the positive side offensively against
the Bears, and then to have the game end. I
still am looking back at that play at the end

(01:09:10):
where the Bears scored that touchdown, and there are four
five Bengals sandwiching this guy and they can't put him down.
I mean, if you're an offense, put yourself in Joe
Flacco's shoes for a moment. You're Joe Flacco and you've
just had the game of your life, and you've racked

(01:09:33):
up all these points. You've got two All Star wide
receivers who both have over one hundred yards. You've done
everything you possibly can offensively, and you should have win
this game. And to see the defense collapse like that,
I mean, what do you think the feeling internally is

(01:09:57):
for a player, like a veteran like Joe fla play
like that and perform like that and then see the
defense half of the damn defense can't tackle one guy.

Speaker 7 (01:10:11):
THI hearing Joe Flacco, you looked over at Joe Burrow
and said, so this is what your life is like?
Huh yeah, Because I think the most frustrating thing about
Sunday last week was it wasn't an outlier. You know,
over their last twenty four games, the Bengals have had
six games where they have scored thirty or more points.

(01:10:32):
And lost. That is insane. If that happens once a season,
it's crazy. It's happened to this team six times since
Week three of last year, and I think last Sunday
would be the most egregious example of wasting great quarterback play.
But it's exactly what they did last season. Joe Burrow
was the best quarterback in the NFL last years. Absolutely

(01:10:53):
objective statement, but he was an MVP finalist on a
team that didn't make the postseas. It is really hard,
especially in this era where we have fourteen playoff teams,
it is really hard to get elite QB play and
not make the playoffs. So it happened last year, it's
happening this season. They're getting it from Joe Flacco. He

(01:11:14):
should be right now the best story in all of sports,
a guy getting traded and five days later, playing forty
years old, resurrecting his career again and not just playing
well and keeping the team afloat playing some of the
best ball of his otherwise outstanding eight year, eighteen year career,

(01:11:36):
and the Bengals have wasted it. And I think what's
equally frustrating with all of that is, you know, you
talked about the play last week where Chicago scores that
go ahead touchdown. It occurred against a defense where safety
wasn't addressed, and you and I talked about this this offseason.
They looked at that unit of safeties last year and

(01:11:58):
let it go untouched. They did and add one in
free agency. They didn't add.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
One via trade.

Speaker 7 (01:12:04):
They didn't add one in the draft. We watched Gino
Stone and Jordan Battle miss tackles last season. The Bengals
front office did as well and didn't do anything about it.
And so it's one thing if your new acquisitions don't
come up big in a situation like that, and something
else entirely when a unit that everybody said, you know what,

(01:12:24):
that group isn't good enough proves to continue to not
be good enough once this season arrives.

Speaker 1 (01:12:30):
It's four or five. It wasn't just the safeties. It
was four or five guys that had legitimate chances to
and they just bounced off him like they were pinballs.
It's crazy. I saw that play again, and I saw
it play it again, and I had to watch, you know,
highlights after the game, if you can call them highlights,

(01:12:51):
because we were on the road going to Nashville to
visit my parents. But I saw that play and I'm going, oh, Mike,
my lord, how can you? How can half of your
defense have a chance at putting this guy down and
they don't do it? Just it boggles my mind.

Speaker 7 (01:13:10):
By far and away, by far and away, the worst
defense in the league, by many measurements, the worst defense
in the history of the league. Think about that for
a second. And a team that I think going into
this week has thirty five more mistackles than the team
with the second most amount of mistackles. Their defensive and atitude,

(01:13:31):
the level of it is staggering.

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
How huge was it for FC Cincinnati to sign a
Vander I mean, he's the reason they're in the playoffs?
Would is that a fair statement?

Speaker 7 (01:13:45):
I think he's the reason they're in the playoffs? And well,
I think he's the reason they're a number two seed
in the playoffs. I think Pat Noonan the coach, is
probably the second biggest reason. But give Chris Albright a
lot of credit because how many teams in sports can
lose an MVP and be either as good as they

(01:14:07):
were or even better, you know, And that's exactly what happened.
But they've got a game tonight against Columbus where Evander
has to be better than he has been in the
first two games, because you know, they had a meltdown
against Columbus last last Sunday night, lost for nothing, kind
of felt like they came on glued. They won the

(01:14:27):
first game of the series, obviously won nothing. Evander has
been really really quiet, and you know, this is the
sort of game, major stakes riding on it where you
would expect Evander to be the best player on the field,
and so far at least he is not. But he
has been a marvelous acquisition. I think when they let

(01:14:48):
Lucha Acosta go, who wasn't very happy prior to this season,
it was like, well, how the heck do you replace him? Well,
you replace some.

Speaker 13 (01:14:56):
Of the guy who might be even better.

Speaker 7 (01:14:58):
And Chris Albright, the general manager of FCS.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
Fantastic mo is always a pleasure. Thank you so much
for your time this morning. And uh, next Saturday, let's
make it a date.

Speaker 7 (01:15:09):
Huh, I can't wait.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
You got it all right, mo Eger with us on
a Saturday morning counselor what's going on? Same old stuff?
Gary Jack? So I was I was torn between two
jokes this morning for gifts from Wally. Okay, the one
I told, which I thought was good, It was good,
but there was one that was kind of dedicated to you. Oh,
here we go. Let me go and share this. A

(01:15:33):
lawyer dies is at the Pearly gates and he's astounded.
See he's at the back of a really long line
of people to get in. Okvin, All of a sudden,
out of nowhere, Saint Peter leaves his desk at the
gates and an assistant comes with him, and they come
and grab the lawyer by the hand, and they escort
him to the front of the line and send him
down in a comfortable chair at the desk. That's appropriate,

(01:15:55):
he said. You know, I don't mind all this attention,
but what makes me so special? Saint Peter looks up says, well,
according to all of your billable hours, you must be
one hundred and ninety three years old.

Speaker 15 (01:16:10):
Pretty good, Pretty good. There are a lot of good
lawyer jokes out there. I think sometimes we bring it
on ourselves as a profession.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
There are a good lot of There are a lot
of good lawyer jokes, and most of them are dressed
in expensive suits. So what's on the show today.

Speaker 15 (01:16:27):
Well, it's going to be election analysis. I'm going to
talk to Alex Trant to feel you, the GOP chair
for the state of Ohio. Gonna ask him what he thinks.
Also look forward to twenty twenty six and the mid terms.
At eleven o'clock, independent political analyst Kevin Burton, I'm gonna
ask Kevin what he thinks Tuesday night meant for Republicans nationwide.

(01:16:52):
Not a good night, but not as bad as some
make it out to be. He well know, the Democrats
won on their home fields. Sure they did new in
Virginia and New York City obviously, But as my friend
Steve Simon, who calls every Saturday morning with the commentary,
he made the point this morning that going back to
twenty twenty in Arizona in the Senate races, if the

(01:17:19):
half of the six hundred thousand registered Republicans who didn't
show up had showed up to vote, it had been
a different thing.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
And Republicans do not show up in these off year election. Well,
I'm going to be talking about that in the rant.
The Republicans' biggest problem is Republicans.

Speaker 15 (01:17:35):
These mega people, God love them, and they've been great
for the party, they don't show up if Trump's not
on the ballot, My goodness, if we lose the House
in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (01:17:47):
It's all done. It's not going to matter that Trump's
in the White House exactly. They'll be doing impeachments again,
and they will uphold and up end the agenda. Yep,
that is so important to saving this country. Well, I
believe that.

Speaker 15 (01:18:02):
That's why dj t's got to get out there and
tell them that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
All right, So Alex T and who Evin Marton, Kevin Burton, fantastic.
It's Saturday midday with Mike Allen after the show show
at Huddles. Yep, we'll be there from eleven to seven
and slinging drinks for Hillbillies and others, as is our
wont on a Saturday. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

(01:18:27):
Thanks to Liam Tomlinson, who's not wearing shoes this morning.
