a failed assault against Entrance Confederate soldiers the Battle of Fredericksburg.

Nineteen thirty seven, during the Second Sino Japanese War, Japanese
soldiers captured a Chinese city of Namjang and began what
would be a week long massacre of between two hundred
to three hundred thousand people. This date in two thousand,
George W. Bush claimed the presidency a day after the

(00:44):
US Supreme Court shut down any further recounts of disputed
ballots in Florida. Recounts that every time they recounted shown
that George Bush won by more votes than the last time,
and al Gore conceded. Finally was on this date. In
two thousand and one, the Pentagon released a captured videotape

News Radio seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Bracing for the storm, the White Dead Snowmageddon. I don't
think we're gonna dodge the bullet this time, folks. I
do not believe so this one. All of the computer
models are melding together and matching up and saying we're
gonna get dumped on big time. And I am not

(06:44):
a fan of this. As a kid, snow is great.
Snow is like the answer to a prayer. Snow means
no school. Snow means playing in the snow with your friends,
building snow, going sledding. When you're an adult and you
have to be places, and especially as a bartender, still

(07:08):
means I won't do squat today. Really need to make
this money before Christmas. Ain't gonna happen, not today, but
for those of you listening who from time to time
has ventured out to Mama Street in Newport, where I
will be, regardless of the forecast, opening at eleven am.

(07:33):
It's the early. It's before the storm rush, the winter weather,
the warning, the winter storm warning. It's not even an
advisory anymore. It's a winter storm warning. Doesn't begin till
one pm. You can squeeze it in early. I'll be

(07:56):
the doors bust open, it huddles at eleven o'clock, drink
like a fish for a couple of hours, and then
skate home. Now I understand as I get older why
people move from the North to the South, to Florida

(08:19):
or Texas to warmer climbs, because I just can't stand
it anymore. Ten years ago, it wasn't winter weather necessarily
that soured me on this particular geographical location, this time
of year. It was the four months of gray we

(08:40):
experience from November to March basically every year here.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
I love to change the seasons. I just wish this
season was really short. Unfortunately, not Liam, I didn't bring
my phones up yet. Can you let the lovely lady
Lynette on the air for me? Please? Good morningte.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
High mh bound for the farms, down for the far Homas.
Oh will you come t high down far mister? Amen?

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Amen, you sounded good. How are you feeling, dear? The
last time we talked last week, you had just gotten
home from the hospital.

Speaker 6 (09:46):
Yeah, I was short of breath. I was just a
little wee kitting. But I went to the gym. We
instill spend the week. Now I'm sirn and road bike.
Yesterday I did one hundred percent. I'm learning my special
song and I've got it in hand.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
And a good deal. Well, so you said you went
to the gym. What what's your workout entailed in that?

Speaker 6 (10:14):
Well, we have the armed things. You pump iron and
then your pump your bike and.

Speaker 7 (10:21):
It gets slow high high.

Speaker 8 (10:23):
High like that.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
So you pump iron. How much can you pump?

Speaker 6 (10:28):
I'll make a hundred.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
I know, But what is one hundred percent? I'm just curious.

Speaker 7 (10:33):
That means I did it?

Speaker 1 (10:35):
High score, good good deal. I mean do you enjoy that?

Speaker 6 (10:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (10:41):
They say that no pain, no gain. So do you
feel like you've gained this week.

Speaker 6 (10:48):
Yeah, because it was hard to breed. I just couldn't
breed because I took action over two days and I said,
you can't get no more. I said, well, it's JFKA
breed And I said, well, I'm know I can pump
iron ray get home and I didn't you.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
That's awesome, survivor. You what a survivor.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
I am a survivor.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Oh, there's no doubt about it. How many how many
times now would you say that you m that you
have died and come back?

Speaker 6 (11:22):

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Sixty two times? And this is documented? You have proof
of this?

(13:27):

Speaker 5 (13:43):
Dave, Good morning.

Speaker 11 (13:46):
Came out shot.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Aren't you happy that Liam is pro Dave?

Speaker 8 (13:52):
Yes, very much so, because I mean.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
He's usually geopolitically opposed to anything that I like or
believe generally, So you are a common uh, we have
a common We meet on common ground when it comes
to Dave from Harrison, because I too am pro Dave.

Speaker 12 (14:19):
Well that's a good thing, you know, you think as
we can escape the white death that come from sky
and drive the buffalo far far away.

Speaker 9 (14:32):
And Gary, jem I want to shout out too.

Speaker 7 (14:35):
I believe it was west Side Jim's birthday yesterday.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
It certainly was. I started the program by wishing west
Side Jim a belated birthday. The Keeper. The keeper Meister
is seventy three now wow and doing well.

Speaker 12 (14:53):
Well, you know, you keep going, you'll catch up with
him here pretty sent in a week or so.

Speaker 8 (14:59):
Well.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
If I don't don't catch up, it means something a
little bit more dire, Dave.

Speaker 12 (15:03):
Yes, yeah, yeah, all right, Hey Gary, Yeah.

Speaker 9 (15:09):
What do you call a snowman with a six pack?

Speaker 1 (15:13):
What do you call a snowman with a six pack?

Speaker 8 (15:16):
Dave?

Speaker 12 (15:17):
I'd be an abdominal snowman.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Very nice.

Speaker 12 (15:22):
Okay, Next, well, what did one Christmas tree say to
the other, didn't you use.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
This one last week? I need to check your notes.
What did one Christmas Tree say to the other Dave?

Speaker 7 (15:38):
Uh, you know what?

Speaker 9 (15:43):
No?

Speaker 12 (15:44):
Oh yeah, eleven thirty No, that was nineteen one Christmas
Tree said lighting up it's Christmas?

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah, you use that one. I mean, these these are
these are these are such poor quality you really shouldn't
reuse them. I mean, if it was something outstanding, like
a best of this was a Dave's Greatest Hits collection,
then you could reuse the joke. But you know, the
weaker material, just to just pass it off as a

(16:15):
mistake you made and don't do it again. That would
be my advice, my comedic advice to you, right, But
you've never followed my advice before, so why would you
start now?

Speaker 4 (16:28):
I gotcha? All right?

Speaker 13 (16:30):
Well, who's a Christmas Trees favorite singer?

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Who is a Christmas Trees favorite singer?

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Dave? That'd be Spring Staying.

Speaker 14 (16:42):
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. I'm we deeply apologize.

(17:02):
Now back to our irregular programming. So the deal was,
I had just gotten to Cincinnati. It was my first
summer I think first or second it was either ninety
four ninety five, and I was doing some stuff for
WEBN too, and they said, Gary Jeff, would you like

(17:23):
to interview Ted Nugent?

Speaker 1 (17:25):
I said, sure, Do I call him? Is he going
to call in? What? No? No? At Riverbend he was
appearing at Riverben. So I was out on the remote
for WEBN at Riverbend before the Ted Nugent concert and
they let me in backstage and I'm on the side
steps of the stage waiting for Ted to come down

(17:47):
and meet me as was scheduled, had to remote mike
in my hand, my headphones on, and when it was
time for the interview, Ted comes down the steps and
meets me about halfway up, and they told me that
I only had five minutes, and I said so briefly. Ted.

(18:10):
He took the mic out of my hand and just
rattled on, and there in my headphones going Gary Jeff,
we gotta wrap up. We got it. We gotta go, Gary, Jeff,
we got it. There's nothing I could do. Ted Nugent's
just talking and talking and talking. So it wasn't really
an interview. It was kind of like an ambush. But
I enjoyed it thoroughly. Happy birthday, Teddy, Uncle Teddy. Time

(18:35):
to get a reception report from our friend old radio
Rick Washburn, Good morning, Ricky.

Speaker 7 (18:41):
Good morning Gary Jeff. Hey, the nude sounds pretty good
on this one. You're coming in five by five on
a nineteen thirty eight Stuart Warner Model eighteen forty five,
the three band ten tube AM shortwave console radio. Stay
pardon me. It has both an RAF amplification stage as
well as two stages. It's one heck of a d

(19:02):
excerpt I never heard.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
I never heard of Stuart Warner. Did they make a
lot of radios for a long period of time.

Speaker 7 (19:08):
They did, and actually they were a pretty good competitor
with the Crosley, And like Crosley, they lasted until about
nineteen fifty four to fifty five, then competition took them out.
Excuse me. They were not necessarily the most well known
brand name, but they made a presence all right, using

(19:31):
the twelve inch photo tone speaker. Photo Tone interesting makes
it sound pretty dark and honestly, while it's peeling the
paint off the walls, which it's doing now, as gorgeous
as to the stradios is, it's a little weird looking.
Just towards the top of the front of the cabinet,
like usually, you've got the dials surrounded by a plastic
a sketch, and immediately below that is another plastic a sketch,

(19:54):
and that surrounds fifteen fifteen preset station buttons. Stuart Warner
called this the magic keyboard, and the presets trigger a
motor to tune the radio for you. So you just
pressh a station button and here you go. You're a Jeff.
The radio goes.

Speaker 15 (20:12):
Rah rah rah rah rah.

Speaker 7 (20:15):
And stops on your selected station. So let's go to
the catalog. See sure, Stuart Orner magic keyboard, the mystic
mechanism that does what nothing else in radio can do. Well,
that's not true, but he now here's a radio invention

(20:36):
that makes even last week's radio obsolete. Development that's utterly new,
absolutely exclusive. Wow. So here we have the bullet points,
split second speed I almost didn't say that, right, goes
directly instantly to the desired station, no slow travel to
a switching point and back. Now, okay, fair enough. Some

(21:00):
motor driven set had a situation where if you'd select
the station, the radio would have to tune in the
wrong direction all the way to the end of the
dial and then come back. Oh the almost two seconds
of time wasted? Uh be easy to set up? Keys
are set from front without tools, and any key can
be reset easily without disturbing others. Now I admit this

(21:24):
is also good. It's some motor driven sets are an
absolute nightmare to set up. I'm looking at you, Crosley,
and good luck at the custom tool is missing from
its little perch on the radio chassis, which, by the way,
it will be missing. Absolute silence, no hum, no one
between station, noise. All right, having the radio switch off

(21:44):
or the automatic tuning is nothing new in nineteen thirty
eight at all. Matter of fact, I think Gruna was
one of the first ones to come out with it.
But at least apparently it does not Gora rah rah.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
I was gonna say, does the catalog mention the.

Speaker 7 (21:58):
Rah rah rah rah rahh. It's too opposite by the way,
no radio shit goes rah rah rah rah, except that
one RCA before I oiled the motor. But I'm not
always honest about this stuff. And I very nice, utterly flexible,
can be set for any fifteen stations in any order,

(22:19):
regardless of frequency. Fair enough, But this is a tad
miss leading preset buttons often had frequency limitations, but not
on a motor driven radio. That's a whole other thing,
and that's for the advanced class.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Very nice.

Speaker 7 (22:32):
Now, finally, my personal favorite, absolutely accurate. Doesn't depend on
AFC or automatic frequency control, which is used only as
a safeguard against careless careless initial setting. Wow, it's kind
of like saying a card doesn't have cruise control, which
is only a gimmick for drivers who were too lazy
to manually maintain a constant speed.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
That's true. That's very good. Old Radio Rick at gmail

wonderful time piece of furniture and radio reception. Old Radio Rick.
On a Saturday morning, I'm seven hundred w Good morning, gang, morning,
got you guys are slow on the uptake this morning.

(23:15):
Everybody's been drinking already. What's going on?

Speaker 7 (23:17):
There.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
I mean, that's Doug. That's that's like the delay between
my TV on spectrum and your TV on spectrum. We've
been sitting there talking on the telephone and something will
happen on a game and I say, oh, look, I
can't believe he scored on that. Doug said, they haven't
even snapped the ball yet. Here it's the same signal.

(23:44):
It never makes sense to me. So what's going on
this morning? I understand that that Buzz's daughter is there
drifting dressed in a snowman suit.

Speaker 7 (23:54):
Yeah, and she's last already, so I don't know where
they're aheaded to, but they're antagonizing the down.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
I guess, okay, number one, it's it's radio and this
is a phone call. There's no video with this. What
was the the purpose of her showing up in a
snowman suit for a phone call? Or was she just
doing this? Because she's just doing.

Speaker 13 (24:17):
This, Buzz, you're the only one that has the answer.

Speaker 7 (24:21):
She's gone on. They're just all.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
I mean, I would I would think I would hate
to think, Buzz of your daughter Heather as a furry.

Speaker 16 (24:44):
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Well there you go.

Speaker 13 (24:52):
Oh, let's see what's going on here this week?

Speaker 11 (24:55):
Actually tonight Shane Smith, the last live band that will.

Speaker 13 (24:59):
Be performing this year. You're at Brookies, and of course
this coming Wednesday, the Queena Harts will.

Speaker 7 (25:05):
Be drawn out and a winner will be determined next.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Next Wednesday, Next Wednesday at Brookies, starting at five o'clock,
right yup, and won't draw every fifteen minutes for the
first hour, and then after that second hour we'll probably
do every.

Speaker 7 (25:25):
Ten minutes, and if they'll know winter, we're just gonna
draw it out that third hour and every five minutes
or something draw a card. Oh wow, so hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 8 (25:35):
I think we'd be busy.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Yeah, I think you'll be busy. You'll be quite busy.
But I mean just in time for Christmas. I can't
imagine how big this crowd is going to swell to
there on Main Street in Ripley at Brookies, h out
in the st and hopefully the weather improves a little
bit so people have got somewhere to stand and they're
not freezing their pipots off.

Speaker 7 (25:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (26:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (26:00):
The last couple of years begin in the way like
fill over two and a half.

Speaker 7 (26:04):
Million or wrote under two and a half million, dollars.

Speaker 8 (26:06):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
No, that's that's great, Baron, that's awesome. Well, all right,
so the place to be his Brookies this week, and uh,
good luck with the the snow. I mean, what does
the weather rock, say Sherry, good lord, oh the weather rock.

Speaker 7 (26:22):
Well it's want to be pridging pridging cold.

Speaker 13 (26:24):
And there's got support here this morning.

Speaker 6 (26:26):
Yeah, I did?

Speaker 15 (26:27):

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Hey share, Hey Sherry, Sherry, Yeah, Dave's Dave's not here, man,
have a great weekend. Buckle down and stay safe and
all the snow and all the cold. The gang at
Brookies and Ripley and Steam from etn Ohio. In moments

(27:15):
whose with my friend Steve from at Ohio and last
week we were kind of expanding on the whole idea
and the definition of what is affordability. How about the
peace dividend. It's been a long time since we've even
heard about a peace dividend. I was originally kind of

(27:38):
cropped up during the George H. W. Bush era, Margaret
Thatcher talking about a peace dividend. Since the Cold War
was over, we were spending less money, supposedly on the military,
and we could devote that cash to issues that were
more beneficial to the population and social issues. It never

(28:02):
quite works out that way. To kind of explain once again,
my friend Steve Simon, good morning, sir, Good morning sir.

Speaker 15 (28:11):
You're absolutely right, Margaret Thatcher and Bush one brought that
subject up. Let's start out and we'll get right back
to that with the idea of a balanced budget. Well,
first of all, we found out during the shutdown we

(28:33):
don't have budgets anymore, do we No? And I was
looking at an article here that appeared in the Boston
Globe in nineteen ninety four, and it went back to
the subject of when was the last balanced budget. Lyndon

(28:55):
Johnson's last budget submitted in sixty eight to cover fiscal
sixty nine, which was covered the last year of his
tenure at the White House. That was the last balanced
budget quote unquote, actually not really. If you're an accountant,

(29:17):
And you know what the significance of liabilities is. We
are carrying a huge liability then and now with regard
to Social Security payments. Folks pay into solid security, and
it's a liability to Social Security because it has to
be paid out at some time or in anticipation of

(29:41):
it being paid out. That budget by Lyndon Johnson was interesting.
It was on top of a ten percent tax surcharge
and also included reductions in spending, which I find interesting.
Maybe even more interesting, he lopped off three percent on

(30:06):
the national debt.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yes, right.

Speaker 15 (30:11):
This week, Buck Sexton, who has a talk show, as
you know, on iHeart, slipped out this figure of forty
trillion dollars and the way he said it implied that
we've already gotten there isn't that interesting. Well, let's put

(30:38):
that aside for a second and go to what we
initially talked about, and that, of course, was the idea
of a peace dividend. Some sources say it goes all
the way back to the Vietnam War, and I vaguely
remember Nixon mentioning this, We're we're going to save all

(31:01):
of this money that we're spending on Vietnam by the way,
at that time, we had five hundred and seventy five
thousand Americans in Vietnam. Westmoreland went to the President Johnson
and asked for six twenty five. Johnson said no. And

(31:24):
that really is where you can pinpoint the end of
our involvement in the Vietnam War, reduction of troops and
return of the money. Well, what the heck happened to
that peace? Evid end Well, this is another quote from

(31:44):
another article. Unfortunately, the continued growth of US inflation in
the seventies wiped out the money saved from the end
of military operations in Vietnam. Inflation isn't that interesting? And
back now to the negative income tax. This is kind

(32:08):
of long since forgotten, but it was a very very
popular subject going all the way back to the sixties
and seventies. Our friend Milton Freeman and his wife Rose,
who were both economists, had written about this. Nixon loved

(32:29):
this idea of a negative income tax, but he wasn't alone.
They were all manner of presidential candidates and congress people
in the nineteen seventies. Nixon, by the way, talked about
this under a family Assistance Plan. George McGovern's Universal Demo

(32:52):
Grant proposal was similar, and later President Carter's program for
Better Jobs and Income Programs. Well, what the heck is this? Well,
let me tell you right off the bat that a
lot of stuff on the internet does not mention one
little dirty secret, and that is if we employ a

(33:14):
negative income tax. And I'll get back to that in
just a minute, what it is We're going to get
rid of all of the other welfare programs. Yes, the
idea is we have a federal bureaucracy already with all
of these welfare programs. What we're going to do is

(33:38):
give money to the working poor and wipe out the
welfare programs, and they can spend that money any dog
gone way they want. As an example, you have to
set a ceiling or a floor, depending on your point

(33:58):
of view, to fifty thousand bucks if you're working, because
we have a work in the plan for reform of welfare.
If you're working, let's say you only make forty thousand dollars,
you get a credit of ten thousand dollars. You expend

(34:19):
it anyway you want. Isn't that interesting in terms of affordability?
But I just thought i'd bring that up. Gary, Jeff
because it was such a different age we actually talked
about balanced budgets. The last time I think we did this, honestly,
was when Newt Gingrich was the Speaker of the House

(34:42):
and we had a balanced budget amendment.

Speaker 7 (34:46):
Remember that.

Speaker 15 (34:46):
Yep, we don't even talk about that anymore. Are they
trying to tell us Republicans and Democrats both in Washington, DC?
Is irrelevant?

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Well, go ahead, I have an answer, and the answer
is they don't have any money except what they extract
from Americans. That's where the money comes from. How about
they just let us keep our money, all of it,
and figure out and figure out what social programs we
want to fund within ourselves in our own time. I'm sorry,

(35:26):
That is truly the answer to me. And the sad
truth is we're so far in the hole now with
them spending not our money but great grandchildren's money, that
that that can't happen. But I mean, it's negative income tax,

(35:47):
and I don't know if we have time to go
into the full definition of that, but my answer is simply, Okay,
I earned the money. You didn't do anything to take
some of that money or take all of that money,
So you know what, just let me keep all of
the money I earn, and I'll worry about my own

(36:07):
social welfare and everyone else can too. How about that, good.

Speaker 15 (36:12):
Boy, good good point. I could I mention one more thing?

Speaker 13 (36:16):
Sure?

Speaker 15 (36:20):
I frequently in the past have done news of the week.
We've now gotten into specific subjects. A Democrat at a
hearing in the House this week refer to the killing
of a West Virginia National Guard person as an unfortunate accident.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
I saw that disgusting.

Speaker 15 (36:44):
It was immediately corrected. It was a murder. Can we
define anything, any word in our language anymore correctly? Take
care of yourself, Gary jet Moore.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
Next week, YouTube brother into yet another hour of this
Saturday Morning edition for Saturday, December thirteenth, twenty twenty five.
Is this on? Its been so long since? Oh my
goodness seven eight now on a Saturday morning, Gary, Jeff

(37:20):
with you. Great to be with you as well. As
we get closer and closer to Christmas and my birthday.
You know, I mention everybody else's birthday, and I'll mention yours.
Let me know what it is, maybe mister birthday Tuba
call you. But that being said, I'm going to be

(37:41):
on for Willy on Monday, the twenty second, mine and
Jim Lebarber's birthday, and I would love for you to
tune in and we'll have guests in the studio. Ne
who else's birthday is coming up? Is our environmental engineer,
Steve Schulte's just a few days after mine on Christmas.

(38:02):
Mister Schulte, Good morning Christmas.

Speaker 13 (38:05):
This morning Gary, Jeff actual mind.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Is on Christmas Christmas Eve yet yeah, So what do
you got this morning?

Speaker 10 (38:12):
All right?

Speaker 13 (38:13):
I got two items out. The general topic is don't worry,
be happy. I love it the first one. First one
comes from Climate Change Weekly number five sixty four from
December fifth, from the Heartland Institute heartland dot org. Turns
out climate change isn't causing mass extinctions. One of the

(38:35):
persistent claims made across the twentieth centuries that humans are
causing mass extinctions of species unseen since the end of
the age of the dinosaurs, but more recently, many government
grant I call them government grant researchers, green energy hucksters,
bureaucrats politicians drive by media now saying well no, it's

(38:57):
it's not. The reason it is so called man made
catastrophic climate change has replaced everything else as the driving force. Thankfully,
there is only one kiny little problem with this claim,
as recent research reinforces that likely ain't so. Study published
this October by the Royal Society's what's called Proceedings ME

(39:21):
finds that in the past century, amid ongoing climate change
and the climate is changing, always has been, always will be,
extinction rates have slowed and are presently lower at any
time in the past five hundred years.

Speaker 7 (39:35):
Great.

Speaker 13 (39:36):
So, the good news is that extinctions for plants, arthropods
which are insects and spiders, and crustaceans such as crabs,
land vertebrates peaked about one hundred years ago and have
declined since then, even as the climate. As the climate
has changed so once again, so much for so called

(39:56):
man made climate change driving the sixth was called a
sixth Great mass extinction. If this, If this is true,
climate alarmists will have to drop this fucking point from
their litany of climate horrible.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Well, you know, you know, Steve hate tender rupt and
we don't have a whole lot of time. There was
another thing about climate change harm crop yields, and actually
crop production is up.

Speaker 13 (40:20):
Right, well, actually yes it is. But what this. This
comes from Cornwall Alliance dot org from their September twenty
twenty five newsletter UH doctor Roy Spencer, University of Alabama,
who have had the great pleasure to meet UH. One
of the things that have been people are worried about,
and what the models have been showing is that man

(40:41):
made catastrive climate change will harm US crop yields.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
But once again there's the problem.

Speaker 13 (40:47):
The models, like you and I have talked about, are
have been predicting right rafter warming in the US foreign belt.
But what doctor Spencer did, he gathered the information from
our good old Department of Energy. There's thirty six models
that the UN uses. The observed warming has been zero

(41:09):
point two to three degrees fahrenheit per decade. The closest
model of the thirty six the UN uses is the
Russian model believe it or not, zero point three four
percent warming, which is fifty percent higher than actual.

Speaker 8 (41:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (41:26):
The greatest is from the Mediterranean Science Commission of Monaco
one point six degrees warming per decade seven times they observed.
Of course, what the UN uses is they take all
thirty six and divide it by thirty six and come
up with an average. So what doctor Spencer Shilling is no,

(41:50):
there's no man made catastrophic climate change harming the US
crop yields in the corn belt or anyplace else. But
also shows what I liked about this article is that
you get to see all the models that the UN
uses compared to the actual Yeah, you'll find it.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
You know what what what all this? What all this means, Steve,
is that the only mass extinction possible is climate alarmists.
And I'm praying for that. Thank you so much, Ray
and lovelin real quick comment, brother, we got to roll
real quick.

Speaker 11 (42:26):
And this is a subject that will not take long
to discuss. Good and the topic is this, my brother,
there's a topic. Let's talk about all of the government
programs that are operated efficiently.

Speaker 7 (42:43):
God brother, you're right.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
It didn't take long enough. Jeff Wiler, Honda dot com.
Be forecast there's a winter storm morning in effect from
one o'clock this afternoon U till seven am tomorrow, with
four to six inches of snow expected in and around
the Try State. Cold Weather Advisory and effect from seven
o'clock tonight until eleven am Monday. Temperatures tomorrow will be

(43:08):
what windshills below zero Right now It's thirty one in
Cloudy back with some more wild wacky stories from around
the country and around the world. Here is his latest report.
Good morning Gary Jeff.

Speaker 18 (43:22):
This week that tattoo is you, but first in a
land where freedom is fading fast, Roy Marsh is a
cautionary tale. The eighty six year old was walking down
the street of his quiet neighborhood in jolly old England
when a leaf blew into his mouth. Seasons, you know,
so Roy instinctively did that kind of spitty spat thing

(43:43):
you do when you're trying to get a foreign object
out of your mouth up, you know. Unfortunately for Roy,
one of the police officers there witnessed this spitting situation
and find him three hundred and thirty five dollars for littering.
The law says that spitting is a form of littering
and they were going to make this eighty six year
old think twice about ever doing it again. He paid

(44:04):
the fine and said it's actually made him think twice
about coming out of his house ever again. Back in
the good old us of A we celebrate Reese Chadfield.
He was able to eat a whopper with ten patties
in less than a minute and a half. Reese was
descriptive after his triumph, stating that quote, it looked like

(44:25):
a wedding cake, but all full of burger unquote. Reese
hopes he gets noticed in the world of competitive eating.
A woman was spotted dangling from the tenth floor balcony
of her lover's apartment building. Turns out his wife came
home early, ten stories up and losing grip. People on
the ground started to notice, with the public starting to

(44:46):
freak out. Afraid of what they might witness, The woman
leapt to a nearby drain pipe and shimmy down safely,
a la spider Man. The guy apparently got startled when
the wife came home and pushed the woman onto the balcony.
And finally she's making headlines around the world for her
unique tattoo. No, it's not a fancy or pretty picture,

(45:07):
it's in her mouth. Twenty one year old Harriet Truett
was struck with a form of tongue cancer, so doctors
harvested part of her armskin for.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
A new bit of tongue.

Speaker 18 (45:18):
Interestingly enough, they used a tattooed portion of flesh, which
you can now clearly see as a semi colon on
her tongue. She says it's weird, but she's getting used
to it and don't think for a minute it butt
her off tattoos. No, she's getting another one on her
arm as a replacement. Next week, girl swallows AirPod uncle

(45:41):
gets it to play music in her stomach.

Another hour of the Saturday Morning edition for this Saturday,
December the thirteenth, twenty twenty five. I'm Gary Jeff Walker.
Shout out to the insurance salesman, the airplane salesman, and
the casket salesman. I kid you not, these three guys
coming to the bar yesterday. And so I said, oh,

(47:29):
there's a joke there. An insurance salesman, an airplane salesman,
and a casket salesman coming to the bar. And I say,
you should see the insurance salesman first. Were you doing
anything else? Sure? Eight oh eight eastern. That is time
for a visit with our friends science Mike a science minute.

Speaker 7 (47:52):
Yes, as a night scientist.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
Surprising it the blinding me sell. They would be a
good idea, Michael, to go to the insurance salesman first.
If you're going to talk, you're an airplane salesman and
a casket salesman.

Speaker 4 (48:03):
Next, three guys walk into a bar, two of them,
two of them, Duck, who's your heisman?

Speaker 7 (48:16):
Pick Carrie?

Speaker 1 (48:16):
Jeff?

Speaker 4 (48:17):
If I got to ask, if I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
You don't have to ask. Diego Pop. Yeah, he's not
going to get it. They're going to give it to
Mendoza simply because he plays on an undefeated Indiana team,
which I mean, I guess there's a certain criteria there
that fits. I don't I don't know why. It always
has to be a quarterback either, and sometimes it's not
always a quarterback, but most of the time it is nobody.

(48:44):
I tell you who's Who's not going to win anybody
from Michigan and that school has been on a losing
streak all weeks thanks to their former coach and now
alleged felon Sharon Moore. That's that's a terrible situation, man.

Speaker 4 (49:04):
Yeah, it's it's a battle bad twenty four hours.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
I mean that program has gone from cheating to beating
and sad.

Speaker 4 (49:16):
Yeah you had, yeah, your news segment. Actually, I had
my written up science minut for talk about Dick van Dyke.
So a white Tick Vandyke in the news. Well not
only does he you know, turn the hundred today but
h and by the way, one of my favorite kids
movies with my children was watching a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Speaker 8 (49:36):
But anyhow, you know.

Speaker 4 (49:39):
Who wrote Chitty TV bank name was the same guy
who wrote all the James Bond movies. Anyhow, no kidd
ian fleming.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
No, I did not know that he uh.

Speaker 4 (49:50):
Dick attributed to his longevity to you know, most feels
like I stay away from eating whatever they do, positive
attitude on life and one the same and thinks say,
he never got angry and why is that related to science?
But it seems that in our chromosome structure, at the
end of our chromosomes, we have these things called telomeres,

(50:11):
and these calomeres are like long sponge, you know, things
at the end to help your chromosomes repair their self
when you to stay divide and you know, back and
forth as you.

Speaker 8 (50:24):
Get older, when you get older.

Speaker 4 (50:25):
When you get older, these things tend to get they
fray like the end of a rope phrase. Yeah right,
So what helps what keeps? What promotes these telomeres to
fray and age earlier? As getting angry? It seems that
the stress, the hormones, they tend to these telomeres just

(50:48):
to decay a lot sooner. So you know, you know,
it's one thing to get you get angry and then
they say go off and yell or something like that.
But actually it doesn't really help you. That you should
promote the more a grieving castle type. Just get away
from a situation if you can.

Speaker 8 (51:04):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
It makes perfect sense. Now I'm rethinking everything. Sixty five
years too late. Great, all right, Michael, thank you as always, man,
Merry Christmas. It's eight eleven. Like to be positive wherever
possible in this program, and this is an excellent way
to do that. Brother Rick Green, good morning, how are
you my friend?

Speaker 8 (51:26):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (51:26):
Good morning, Gary.

Speaker 8 (51:27):
I just got down praying for you and your listeners.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (51:33):
I'm going off from Gary. I'm just meank God, I'm
going back on walk this morning. I'm just humble and
so thankful.

Speaker 21 (51:39):
For the life you gave me, even the horrible deceivements,
even the dark you No, No, they all came with lessons.
And the lessons is when I keep with me, I
needed everything that I had to go through to be
who I am today.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
You know, there's somebody sent me rick of this incredible
video and I'm going to try and find it and
share it with you if I can find a way
to do that through a text or whatever. But it's
an amazing story of an eagle and what an eagle
goes through. Eagles live on average about seventy years, and

(52:18):
the reason for their longevity is that they actually transform
themselves into a new eagle every so often, where they
actually purposely go to I'm not sure if it's true,
but the story's amazing. Where an eagle will fly to

(52:39):
the highest peak they can and they will repeatedly purposely
hit their beak until it breaks off and a new
one grows, and they pull out all of the claws
that they have so they will regenerate and become a
new new Basically, they plucked the feathers out this This

(53:03):
takes about one hundred and fifty days, and an eagle
does this naturally because it becomes a new basically a
new creation.

Speaker 8 (53:13):
I like that. I would love to see that story, Jerry.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
All right, well, I'll see if I can find a
way to share that with you. My friend Mike Davis
sent it to me on my email. But anyway, what
Bible verse have you got this morning?

Speaker 4 (53:27):
Me?

Speaker 17 (53:27):
A Roman chapter fifteen, verse five. It says made a
God who gives endurance and encouragement, gives you the same
attitude of mind towards each other that Christ Jesus.

Speaker 8 (53:41):
I'm not that it's excellent love.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
And what's the verse and the chapter in verse?

Speaker 8 (53:47):
Romans Moman Romans fifteen and five.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Okay, folks, you got your homework assignments.

Speaker 8 (53:54):
Small twice like on a daily basis.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
You have your you have your assignment class Romans fifteen five.
All right, brother Green, take care, God bless merry Christmas, sir,
very quick, all right, you got it. Time now for
another kind of word with that Teresa, good morning, that.

Speaker 16 (54:13):
Teresa, greetings and salu case scary Jeff, my good mouth man,

Speaker 16 (54:33):
Almost said sweet sweets Franking before I said good morning, Chris.
That's your point. Oh, I love you so much. I
love Frankie, wonder Kitty. You know, Gary Jeff my motto
since I was eleven years old and knew what a
motto was. It comes to us courtesie of Schoolhouse, Rocky

(54:56):
the school, you know, the King of the Box, school House,
Rocky Schoolhouse.

Speaker 8 (55:00):
I can't singing that high anymore.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
No, I don't try.

Speaker 16 (55:03):
Singing hi anyway.

Speaker 7 (55:06):
My my.

Speaker 9 (55:06):
Uh.

Speaker 16 (55:07):
My motto is knowledge is power, Yeah, and.

Speaker 11 (55:10):
I try to give them a little bit.

Speaker 16 (55:11):
I try to empower our friends in radio land, you
know today's world. It's something we are all aware of,
we all do all the time.

Speaker 8 (55:23):
And it's a spoonerism.

Speaker 9 (55:26):
S P O O N E R I S M.

Speaker 16 (55:30):
What that is is a verbal error and which a
speaker accidentally transported to the initial sounds or letters of
two or more words, often in a numivers effect.

Speaker 5 (55:41):
I E.

Speaker 16 (55:42):
I always say coin costs instead of coin cast, right,
And we know that.

Speaker 8 (55:48):
I'm so it's not.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
It's not dyslexia. It's a spoonerism.

Speaker 16 (55:53):
It's it's a spinners okay, like this one here here
it is beads act words. Okay, beads act words on
a on a jazz act is asked backwards on the
jaz act or.

Speaker 13 (56:05):
A bat see a jacket. The most the most.

Speaker 16 (56:09):
Famous spoonerism is to a radio host back in the
day in nineteen thirty one, radio host Harry Vonzell.

Speaker 9 (56:19):
H g of l a.

Speaker 8 (56:20):
He was on the CBS.

Speaker 13 (56:21):
He used to uh to uh be a.

Speaker 16 (56:25):
He was a dagg on it as man. He was
the ed Nicmahon to George Burns.

Speaker 22 (56:33):
Okay, so anyway, he reverred to Herbert Hoover or her
God Herbert Hoover and uber keever and thought it was
the end of his career, like pretty much mine is today.

Speaker 16 (56:47):
God bless good day, love y'all.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
Thank you that Teresa with more spoonerisms at eight twenty
Oh God, where does the time?

Speaker 8 (56:56):
God?

Speaker 1 (56:58):
Seven hundred w l go longing kids, time will gives
for Wally. Sorry mac Allen, I already told you this joke.
During the break, a blonde walks into a police district
and she wants to be a policeman. She's looking for
a job. She comes to fill out an application. The
death sergeant ask her a few questions. Okay, what's two

(57:24):
plus two? The blonde says four, very good. What's the
square root of one hundred? The blonde says ten? Very good.
Says now, who killed Abraham Lincoln? The blonde says, mmm,
I don't know. I said, Well, go on home, think

(57:48):
about it, come back tomorrow. The blonde gets home and
she's on the phone with one of her friends, who
asked her if she got the job. The blonde says, excitedly,
not only did I get the job, they already put
me on a murder case. Gary Jeff on the way
to sixty five and trying to not blow the speed

(58:11):
limit at the same time, inviting in our good friend
Moe Eggar on his sanitay like we usually do. Hey, Mo,
what's going on? Well, you know, just the usual stuff,
just the usual noises in here. Uh and and I
just I wanted to get your take on the The

(58:32):
Sharon Morris story is so I mean, it's so it's
so awful, it's so sad, It's sad for Michigan. Fans.
It's sad for the university, it's sad for him and
his family especially, it's sad for the other person involved.
It's just man, were you as shocked as other people were?

(58:56):
And there is some some indication that this may have
been known before and we didn't find out until after
Michigan lost to Ohio State.

Speaker 9 (59:08):
And I think therein lies the intrigue for me, because
you're right, this is you know, this is a story
that when I first unfolded, you saw Sharon Moore has
been fired with cause inappropriate relationship, and you know, everybody's
firing off their jokes on social media, and then the
story took a real serious turn. And at the end

(59:29):
of the day, you know who I think about is
this is a guy who has three.

Speaker 18 (59:33):
Kids, wife, newborn, who.

Speaker 9 (59:35):
Don't deserve this.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
Nope. But I think what you wonder is how long.

Speaker 9 (59:41):
Was this known? And I guess what I wonder is
Number One, Michigan obviously is not in the college football playoffs?
What if they were? You know, because this went down
this week right where the the Sharon Moore and the
staffer were both approached months ago asked is there an

(01:00:03):
inappropriate relationship? Both denied, and then I guess the woman
this week kind of spilled the beans and they fired sharn. More,
what if Michigan's getting set to play a playoff game
next weekend? Is he still the head football coach? What
if they would have beaten Ohio State? How long was
this known? Why was he allowed to represent the university

(01:00:23):
at signing day? Why was he still hiring? You know,
he just hired Kerry Colmes, you know, the former cole
Raine and UC and Ohio State coach just hired Kerry
Colmes to be his special teams coach a few days ago.
So to me, that's what I want to know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
When was this known?

Speaker 9 (01:00:41):
And it would and we're never going to get the
answer to this, But if Michigan was still playing for
a championship and was still alive in a bowl game
that mattered, would he be the head coach today? And
would they have overlooked the inappropriate relationship?

Speaker 4 (01:00:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
I mean all of questions surrounding that because we don't know,
and as you as you stated, we may never know
what the folks at Michigan knew until the announcement was made,
and you know, and then there's the the threats of suicide.
He's suicidal and the assault, and you know they're they're

(01:01:20):
claiming he's got some mental issue, which may very well
be the case. But I think if you realize that
your whole world has collapsed around you and you're out
of a multimillion dollar job, that can make a lot
of people suicidal, you know, just just based on their
own actions. So the other the other emotional football story

(01:01:43):
this week for Bengals fans was watching the Joe Burrow
press conference where he's he's just he's just depressed. He's
obviously not energized. He's not what we have come to
know as the regular Joe Burrow, and his mom is
saying now that Joe loves playing football in Cincinnati. I

(01:02:05):
think that Joe Burrow's biggest problem is is he just
hates to lose. I mean, he hates to lose. That's it.
And it shows no sign the losing of stopping with
the Bengals in their current makeup, no matter what Joe does.

Speaker 9 (01:02:26):
I think Joe Burrow is a very intentional person, meaning
everything he does is calculated, Everything he does is well
thought out. He knows that everything he says is examined scrutinized, parsed.
He knows his body language is examined, scrutinized, parsed. So

(01:02:49):
when he did that media session on Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
He knew what he was doing. He knew what he
was doing.

Speaker 9 (01:02:54):
I think he was spell I think some have taken
this and decided Joe Burrow once out of Cincinnati, he
should engineer a trade. He's going to retire like Andrew Luck.
I don't necessarily think that's gonna happen, but I do
think he was sending a message I'm not happy, And

(01:03:15):
by the.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
Way, why would he be.

Speaker 9 (01:03:16):
You know, you know, if you're him, you play a
position where ultimately you're judged by how much do you
win for the For the third consecutive year, you're not
going to get a chance to play in the postseason.
Your your efforts continue to get wasted. Last weekend's game
encapsulated everything I dislike about the Bengals right now because

(01:03:38):
last week's game, Joe Burrow wasn't perfect. Right He throws
the pick six in the fourth quarter, and look, by
his own admission, that's not a not a mistake you
can make. But on this team, he's got to be perfect.
He has to be superhuman, and if he's not, they
don't win. Even when he is superhuman, they don't win.
Last year, he was the best quarterback in the NFL,
should have been MVP, wasn't because this team didn't make

(01:04:01):
the postseason. So if you're him, you're watching, you're watching
your peers, You're watching guys that you're compared to. You're
watching guys that you're better than. They get to play
for championships, they get to play in the postseason, they
get to win MVPs, and you're playing for a four
and nine team. Does that mean he's going to engineer
an exit. No, But what I would say is, don't

(01:04:21):
tempt fate. Now, you know, let's let's keep this going.
Let's continue to draft poorly and put together bad defenses
and draft immature guys like Jermaine Burton and and just it.
Waste his best seasons, waste his best efforts. Keep doing it,
and at some point, no one would be surprised if
he says I don't want to be here anymore. To me,

(01:04:41):
that was the message. And I don't think what he's
did on Wednesday was at all unintentional. He knew what
he was doing he was sending a message, and you
certainly hope in the front office of the team it's
received well.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
I mean, they basically have have done the things that
he's asked or demanded in the past, as far as
signing Jamar Chase and t Higgins and Trey Hendrickson and
all that stuff. How come he didn't ask for some
more offensive line help. Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:05:15):
You know what, though, I'll say this, the offensive line
has played well I think for an extended period of time,
so much so that I'm not sure that going into
the offseason. And look, they have a lot of work
to do this offseason. You can never have enough offensive line,
and they have to start thinking long term about left
tackle and center because they have older players there. But

(01:05:38):
I actually do think if you're looking for positives of
this season, I think Dylan Fairchild and the Marius Mens
look like genuine building blocks. I don't think it's unreasonable
to look at the offensive line is currently constructed and
say that should be the unit on opening day next year. Now,
you're right, on a macro level, if this is the
best offensive line Joe Burrow's ever going to pay, that's

(01:06:00):
not good. But I actually do think that unit's been better.
I do think that unit has guys you can vote around,
and that's good because think of all the work they
have to do on defense, you could, at least, I think,
go into the offseason feeling okay about what you have
on the offensive line, which means maybe you could devote

(01:06:22):
even more resources to that defense. We'll see, but yeah,
you're right, They've never really put them behind great offensive lines.
He's continually on the surgeon's table that unit has to
perform better than it has for most of Joe Burrow's
time in Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
All Right, one last chance for me to whine about this,
because tonight all the shouting and whining will be over.
Fernando Mendoza of Indiana is more than likely infect almost
a lock to win the Heisman Trophy, and I still
think it should be my guy from Vandy, Diego Pavia
make my case for me.

Speaker 9 (01:06:58):
Played in the toughest conference in the sport, took a
program that is a non traditional winner like Fernando Mendoza,
and was awesome this year. I have a Heisman Trophy vote.
I'm not allowed to publicly disclose, Okay, the three players
that I put on my ballot, but I will tell
you that this is the seventh year that I've had

(01:07:20):
to vote. This was the first time that going into
the final Saturday, the Conference championship Saturday, I didn't know
who I was voting for. But I have vetted. I
take my vote seriously. I have vetted Diego Pavia's case,
and he's got a really damn good one. And I
also think, like you know, the personality that he brings

(01:07:42):
to the sport, I think is just awesome. I think
Fernando Mendoza is probably going to win. He's obviously very deserving.
I think Jeremiah love It Notre Dame obviously has a
compelling case, and Julian Sana Ohio State. Diego Pavi is
in New York for a reason enough people put them
on their ballot, understandably and deservedly so. And I think

(01:08:03):
what you kind of wonder is the other three guys
are you know, Northern Midwest players. Does the vote in
this part of the country get split? Does that enable
Diego Pavia to win? We'll see.

Speaker 1 (01:08:15):
All right, Well, thank you very much, have a fantastic weekend,
and Merry Christmas to you.
